end well if the sentence starts "let me tell you something i know about the negro." just a tip for you. don't start your sentence that way. now that it's 2014, washington is obsessed on the midterms. folks are saying that with my sagging poll in numbers, my fellow democrats don't want me campaigning with them. i don't think that's true although i did notice the other day that sasha needed a speaker at career day and she invited bill clinton. washington seems more dysfunctional than ever. gridlock has gotten so bad in this town, you have to wonder, what'd we do to piss off chris christie so bad? >> that was a good line. >> okay. so that was joel mchale. we'll get to that in a second. he's star of "the community."
did he talk about chris christie? >> he sure did. let's roll it. >> i know it's been a long night, but i promise that tonight will be both amusing and over quickly just like chris christie's presidential bid. i got a lot of these tonight, so buckle up, governor christie. excuse me. extender buckle up. all right. governor, do you want bridge jokes or size jokes? i got a bunch of both. i can go half and half. i know you like a combo platter. now, i get that. i'm sorry for that joke, governor christie. i didn't know i was going to tell it. but i take full responsibility for it. whoever wrote it will be fired. but the buck stops here. so i will be a man and own up to it just as soon as i get to the bottom of how it happened, because i was unaware it happened until just now. i'm appointing a commission of me to investigate the joke i
just told. and if i find any wrong doing on my part, i assure you i will be dealt with. i just looked into it. it turns out i'm not responsible for it. justice has been served. >> okay. joel mchale was adorable, i think, first of all. >> good guy. and by the way, chris christie not only laughing at the jokes at the party, but was laughing after the party. he and mchale were together. people on tv thought it was a cheap shot. chris christie and mary pat were laughing and posed for pictures with him. >> and we kind of had a run in with him. >> you know what? there's a -- we were comparing book notes. willie, as you know, i'm selling a lot of books in new hampshire. and i was selling more. he was commenting on how many books i'm selling in new hampshire. i said i'm selling more books in new hampshire than you will ever sell. >> this went on for a good eight
minutes. >> it's publishing trash talk. >> it is. both of us are men of letters and both of us are taken by how much the good people of new hampshire love to read. >> they love to read. >> are you monitoring the independent book sales at store by store basis. >> duh. of course we are. of course we are. dropped by one in concord this weekend. >> we were waiting to take pictures and this happened. willie, this went on for, like, eight minutes. seriously. >> the book talk? >> the book trash talk. >> wow. >> i changed to samsung. i had new numbers. >> mika runs up to chris christie and tried to explain it. like you can't talk in shorthand like that. so we went up and mika went up and said i'm texting you, why aren't you returning your calls. he said i'm not getting them.
she explained it was the phone. i said mika always thought it was the phone. i said you were a really big skinned jerk and that was probably why. and he laughed. >> so he's good? >> mika had the wrong number. i'm telling you, the drugs, you can't see. even a big screen like this. it's hard to see the big screen. you know? >> just stop. >> she was sending texts to chris cross instead of chris christie. >> can i get their number by the way? >> sure. >> more of those photos can be seen at vanity fair portraits. >> there's our son. >> who's that? >> that's ronan. >> our handsy son. he's a naughty child. and there was a -- eric holder has decided that you're going to run for office and he's going to take your job. so we did -- >> oh, yeah. he said why don't we do a freaky friday switch.
here he is. he wants it to be morning eric and he and mika were trying out for that cable news. you know, he's the former attorney general, she's a former whatever you are former. >> whatever. thanks, guys. >> then morning eric. what do you think? that would be a great poster. >> i'd watch that show. >> of course you'd watch that show. >> title it with holder somehow. >> she suggested morning ric. take the e off. >> i don't know. vanity fair party was fun. the correspondents dinner was, i think, a success. i guess. >> let's move on. i'm bored. >> okay. for the reason now that we have such an elegant panel, we're go i think to start with ukraine where violence is spreading deeper with clashes now erupting in that country's third largest city. hundreds of pro-russian militants stormed police headquarters on sunday demanding that fellow separatists be
released. the men smashed open the door of the police station and broke windows and security cameras. five dozen militants were freed with little resistance from police. the men were being held in connection to deadly reactions on friday which left many dead. it was the worst violence in that country since february. the u.s. ambassador to ukraine is now demanding an investigation into the increasing violence and if moscow is behind it. meanwhile, michael mcfaul, the former u.s. ambassador to russia is warning that russia could be in the final stages of preparing for a full scale invasion. >> david ignatius, the ukrainian government says it's protecting its own citizens from pro-russia militias. now we hear russia saying they have to protect russian-speaking people from the government. what are we seeing this morning? >> we're seeing the inability of
any government to maintain safety and security in ukraine. which means that the violence is getting worse and the calls for some kind of intervention are growing. the obama administration's biggest hope is that somehow if ukraine can stumble through to elections on may 25 when there'll be a new government and a sense the administration hopes of legitimacy for a government that could crack down, restore orders, defend its borders, et cetera. and the terrible irony of the russians demanding safety for these poor protesters in eastern ukraine. many think the russians have been encouraging the protesters to grab the airport, a television tower. now they're demanding someone maybe even the russians come in and restore order. it's been increasingly chaotic demonstration. it's shows the weakness of the ukrainian government. above all, it illustrates the
russians' basic comfort level with this chaotic ukraine on the way to elections on may 25th. >> okay. i'm going to grab a thought that i read recently about the situation in ukraine. especially as it pertains to american leadership. because some can put this as black and white, america is not strong. the president is not strong enough. but i read recently that it's sort of like getting in a fight when you're trying to get a divorce. it's not that easy. because you want to make your point without hurting the whole situation, the whole family. >> how the united states should use its enormous power to deter vladimir putin from invading eastern ukraine just as he invaded crimea a month ago is the question that's really haunting washington. we had a map in "the washington post" over the weekend that showed the battle lines for a war between russia and ukraine. i haven't seen anything like that since history books, you
know, after the fall of berlin in 1945. it's just stunning to see that. the administration keeps saying when you push them that its policy is to make it so costly for putin to keep pushing in ukraine, that he'll think twice. he'll stop. >> of course as you know, the ruble and the russian stock market have gone up since we've -- >> things are beginning to -- >> no, since we put the sanctions in place. these sanctions are so insignificant that they're not going to deter somebody like putin, are they? >> you know, joe, the recovery in the russian currency and markets is after a significant fall. so in absolute terms, it's not a great period for russia. i think it is fair to say that obama has been holding in reserve partly because europe is not comfortable yet with heavy duty sanctions. the kind of sanctions that would hit the export industries,
principally energy and weapons. if the russians move, if their tanks roll across the frontier in ukraine, i would guess president obama would have merkel with him in imposing sanctions that would make things hurt for russia. but by that time it's too late. the tanks were already in. so no question that obama's taken a go-slow approach to this. >> all right. some political news now. new indicators show rough waters ahead for the democrats in the midterms. a pugh research/usa today poll shows republicans have their biggest advantage in two decades. numbs shows voters shifting away from democrats over the last six months. a majority of voters say the president isn't a factor in their vote, but the number of democrats voting in support of the president's record has fallen 16 points since the 2010 elections. the number of republicans voting
against his agenda has increased. still when compared to this point when george w. bush was president, the president's approval is nine points higher. voters have showed a deep desire for change during both presidents' second term saying it's time for different policies. >> john heilemann, we have a flurry of polls. willie and i were talking about this last week, two weeks ago. democrats looking better this past week. republicans looking better. now this pew poll suggests big trouble. also on the "usa today," health spending. this is going to drive the first half of the week as far as the debate goes. health spending up the fastest in 34 years. and in the lead, the "usa today" blames obamacare. >> look. we saw three polls last week, right? we started early last week with
the abc/"washington post" poll. then the other poll that seemed kipt. and now this poll. we've had three in a row now from big organizations with big sample sizes who have good records that suggest that maybe what happened with the obamacare 8 million number was more of a blip and that we're actually settling into what i think a lot of people thought the prevailing trend lines would be which is republicans are in a strong position in the midterms and obamacare is going to be by no means a winning -- on the macro level, not a winning issue for democrats. they'll have to be fighting for their lives in general and on that issue going forward. >> harold, it's only may as you and i know more happens in campaigns in six days than let alone six days. but you look atted t the headli. biggest advantage for republicans in two decades. what did democrats do six months
out? >> another headline talks about the violence in ukraine. i think there's a sense if you have an everyday hard-working american and you are struggling and working to support their family and you read the political headlines and trends out of washington, just don't bode well for the party in charge. second, you consider the states where you have these elections. states that romney performed well in. states where the health care plan and some of the other things a president is doing or has done is less popular than they are in other states. and finally, i think you showed the numbers between george w. bush and the president in terms of the approval ratings. remember in 2006, democrats cleaned up. if you're democrats, even though it's only may, you have to begin to think now how do you shift a bit on things that would help you? >> we're starting to see keystone, harry reid trying to help. >> help some democrats around.
>> helps us as home on manufacturing. helps foreign policy. but you know, willie, it's -- you're starting to see harry reid and you're starting to see other democrats talk about keystone. this energy issue is going to be a big issue because it's about jobs. for once it's not the republicans the base that's pulling them away from where middle america is. democrats have a lot of challenges. >> they do. maybe harry reid's talking about it, but there's still a lot of democrats who are not going to move on the keystone pipe line. maybe there's some deal to use it as a chip for something else. >> the president could just do that. >> that's right. sam, you're looking at these numbers. the piece in the "usa today" says these numbers show the strongest tilt towards republicans in the last couple decades. including stronger than before 2010. republican strategists if you talk to them privately, they're
feeling good about this obviously about holding the house but taking the senate as well. >> yeah. i mean, i've said it before and i'll say it again. the best thing the democrats have going for them right now is they had a huge wave loss in 2010. there's fewer seats for them to lose in the house than they would otherwise. the house is a problem when you have so many seats in states that went to romney that holding the majority seems tenuous. that said, looking at national polls is silly. each individual race has its own dynamic. for example, in arkansas where you would imagine is democrat would be really suffering under the burdens of the health care law, a poor economy, sagging approval numbers, mark potter is not that poorly positioned. you do have to look to respect to the senate state by state. one thing i'd add with health care spending which is a scary headline is that the charts early on when they were on
kbbcare suggested a very spike in 2014 because millions more people were going to get coverage and spend on health care at the time. we have to wait and see what happens after this spike to see if they continue going down which they were before. it could just be tied to the bad economy. but if the recent trends continue and we have more health care spending, then we're in real trouble basically. >> all right. we're going to keep talking about this. obviously more on ukraine and foreign policy straight ahead with david ignatius. >> oh, yeah. coming up in the 7:00 hour, chuck schumer is here on set. he brought with him an interesting chart on the big fight over raising the minimum wage. >> i'm going to debate him on that chart, the minimum wage, and ask if he would trade keystone for a rise in minimum wage. help workers on both sides of that equation. i'll see if he loves the working man as much as i do. >> i want to see if his chart is more interesting than rattner's. i don't think if that's possible.
also a new investigation into the benghazi attacks. >> i'm also going to ask him what happened in ireland when jerry adams was arrested. a strange move considering where the peace talks have been going. >> then live in our 8:00 hour, senator joe manchin is here in the studio and senator tim kaine on his backing for hillary 2016. >> willie and i was -- what did we say this was? >> yeah. >> full throated. yes. >> okay. all right. >> thank you for being there with me, willie. up next, a tragic circus accident leaves a group of performers in critical condition. also ben affleck caught counting cards in las vegas? we'll explain it on morning papers. and jim gaffigan joins us on set. >> i don't know if you can tell by my beard, but i'm fat. i don't know what happened.
all i did was eat constantly and then boom i'm fat. seems unfair. >> but first if it was only that simple, here's bill kairns with a check on the forecast. >> good stuff, you guys. we got done with a pretty nice weekend on the eastern seaboard. rain showers in new england yesterday. the heat was the real story, though. everywhere in the red on this map shows you where it was 80 degrees yesterday from d.c. all through the deep south. but the one highlight was the central plains. it was 102 in wichita, kansas. they were off to the driest start to the year ever since the dust bowl in the mid-'30s. with the windy conditions -- this was in oklahoma yesterday. they had me vacuations. a couple structures burned down. you could see one of them there. the way the wind was blowing those flames. another dangerous day in the plains today.
what's cruel about the central u.s., even though it was 100 there, it was snowing in northern wisconsin. still very chilly weather remains through the great lakes. there's still some ice on the great lakes from the winter. i think it was 20% ice still left. so chilly today. chicago only a 56 for your high. but we're warm with with a brush fire threat in the middle of the country. we're looking nice in new england. maybe a stray shower or two in maine. but the rest of the region is looking very nice. a perfect spring day for you. and the next five days, the only really big storm we're going to have should bring rain to the northern plains. weld like to get some of this rain in texas and arkansas. that doesn't occur until about thursday. nice week ahead for much of the country. i don't think any tornado threats at all. which is great especially after what we dealt with last week. washington, d.c. was the big scene for the correspondents dinner. here's one more humorous joke. >> the vice president isn't here tonight not for security

if the runs for president, what heat will she feel about benghazi? >> this is a piece by michael hirsch who's the national editor of politico magazine. he pointed out that benghazi is becoming to this decade what vince foster, white waterwere in the '90s. from mentions of hillary in twitter recent days. 219,000 mentions of benghazi. he calls it the social media twin. this is something that fires up the republican base, but even though the white house hates this topic, democrats in general like it because it helps reinforce their views of the republican base as right wing nuts. >> if you're hillary clinton or if you're running hillary clinton's campaign, should there be a campaign, are you generally concerned in a general election about the idea of benghazi? or is that sort of confined to a republican primary? >> of course you are. the question is whether it's about competition of ideology.
at the moment because republicans perhaps overplaying their hand as they seem all too ready to do calling for appointing special committee, more subpoenas. but if it becomes a question about secretary clinton's competence especially at a time when the world events we're talking about at the top of the show, we have not a lot of accomplishments to talk about, then it's a problem. >> harold ford, would you be worried about it? >> the question i have is you've seen polling. where do the american people rank this in terms of -- >> low. and the story points out it's unlikely to hurt her with the voters. it's how she ramps up this campaign. so when she goes out with her book tour starting in june, she wants to be talking about her vision for the future. she wants to talk, remind people of why they used to like the clintons. this at this moment is this big

"the new york times" editorial board writes president obama and the world two years after winning an election in which foreign policy was barely mentioned, president obama is being pummelled at home and abroad for his international leadership. the world sometimes seems it is flying apart with mr. obama unable to fix it. through a combination of a few significant missteps, circumstances beyond his control, unreasonable expectations, and his bland demeanor, he doesn't walk around with his shirt off? i don't get it. in key respects mr. obama is precisely the foreign policy president that most americans and allies overseas wanted. he rejected the shoot first tendencies of president bush. but he has been blamed for his own foreign policy taken as a whole and stripped as much as
possible of ideological blinkers. mr. obama's record is not as bad as his critics say. it's just not good enough. so is it just a set of examples that are beyond his control? >> that editorial is fascinating because it has all the different instances in which obama has struggled to get a lot of success. i think most people would agree with him avoiding use of force in these battle grounds of the middle east. it makes sense. not overreacting to ukraine makes sense. yet when you add it up, there is something missing. my own answer would be there are two things. the first is communicating to the american people and the world. this president doesn't do that as much as he needs to on foreign policy. second is credibility. people ask well, he doesn't
fight this war or that war. what war would he fight? where would he draw the lines and mean it? i think the president is going to have to make clearer to the world precisely what he's prepared to do in an increasingly messy and dangerous situation especially in ukraine. >> sam stein, building on the comment david just made, do you think what's lacking in the president's foreign policy is some overarching aim or goal that seems to not define or give policy makers a sense of not only where we would fight but what our goals are around the globe? >> to piggyback on what david said and i'm curious what the panel would say. i read "the new york times" editorial and stepped back and asked myself, what would you say if someone asked what was the obama doctrine? you couldn't answer that question. with respect to george w. bush you knew what his broader foreign policy is. i couldn't decide whether defenders would say his prudence, i would guess. critics say overly cautiousness.
i'm curious what people think. there doesn't seem to be at this juncture and we're six years in, a definitive obama doctrine with respect to foreign policy. i couldn't pinpoint one myself. >> i'm not sure that's a bad thing. >> it might not be. i don't know. >> sam, i will tell you, you've asked the question here. stricken of the ideological binders and just talk to the ambassadors across the world, the foreign leaders across the world, and david ignatius has heard this more than any of us. if i'm wrong, let me know. that is the critique of the obama administration. that there's no over-arching policy. there's no vision. it is ad hoc in its approach. and again, this is not an ideological take. we have been hearing this from foreign policy leaders for four or five years. >> joe, i travel all over the world and i do hear that. there's a perception that this president is weak. problem is when you're perceived as weak, you're expected to do
rash things to show you're not. i'm glad the president isn't doing that. >> not worried he'll be rash. >> bland personality. >> all right. coming up at the top of the hour, senator chuck schumer joins us on set. also they say lumber jacking may be the most dangerous profession in the world. and this video -- >> oh! oh no! >> -- shows why when we return. >> oh, my gosh. ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com. they're the days to take care of business.. when possibilities become reality. with centurylink as your trusted partner, our visionary cloud infrastructure and global broadband network free you to focus on what matters. with custom communications solutions and responsive, dedicated support, we constantly evolve to meet your needs.

people are asking, will donald trump run again? and the answer is, does that thing on his head crap in the woods? i actually don't know. i don't know if that thing on his head has a digestive wbr id "wbr37380" system. welcome back to "morning joe." joining us on set. the senior senator from new york, democratic senator chuck schumer. and from washington, nbc news white house correspondent and host of "the daily rundown," chuck todd. chuck and chuck. we're going to talk about your chart and the minimum wage in just a moment. that was a good dinner. it was a great dinner. i enjoyed it. president was good. and mchale was good. mchale was adorable. here are some of the highlights from the responsibilities /b
dinner. >> olympic snow boarding medalist is here. we cannot believe what they do. death defying feats. haven't seen someone pull a 180 that fast since rand paul disinvited that nevada rancher from this dinner. as a general rule, things don't end well if the sentence started, "let me tell you something i know about the negro." just a tip for you. don't start your sentence that way. now that it's 2014, washington is obsessed on the midterms. folks are saying that with my sagging poll numbers, my fellow democrats don't really want me campaigning with them. and i don't think that's true, although i did notice the other day that sasha needed a speaker at career day and she invited bill clinton. >> mr. president, you have to
admit, and you already have, the launch of healthcare.gov was a disaster. it was so bad. it was bad. look, i don't even have an analogy because the website is now the thing people use to describe other bad things. they say stuff like, i shouldn't have eaten that sushi. i was up all night healthcare.gov'ing. boy, that latest johnny depp movie really healthcare.gov'd at the box office. look at my new rug. did the dogs healthcare.gov on it? you can't get that out of shag. >> that was funny. he was really good. >> yeah. it was a good night. >> so we've got a lot to talk about. >> we do. why don't we start quickly, though, a couple quick things. minimum wage. harold and i were talking about it before. joe manchin is coming on. how about a deal on minimum wage
where we help workers where you raise the minimum wage not to the $10.10 because democrats aren't going to get that. but maybe to $8.50, $9.00 in exchange for keystone. >> i think that's part of our bill on energy efficiency next week. we're willing to see a vote on keystone. each side thinks they're going to win. keystone is a lot less important than it used to be. since it started there's a ton of oil and gas here in the u.s. we used to say if it's not from canada, it's in the middle east. now we're talking about exporting it. >> let's not move the goal posts. keystone's still important, isn't it? >> it's a job issue and a safety issue. we're going to transport it by rail or water. natural gas exports, why not increase that as well? >> 9,000 -- last month 288,000 jobs. keystone, 9,000 jobs. it is not the issue that each
sides is making it to be. so minimum wage -- on minimum wage, why is $10.10 important to us? >> i want to go back to keystone for a second. >> okay. go ahead. >> pennsylvania is creating jobs across the state in pennsylvania that's not being created across new york state because this governor, the state legislature are over-regulating fracking. why don't we bring good jobs to upstate new york? they need good jobs. you're their senator. >> yes. >> what do you say to albany to get those good jobs in pennsylvania in upstate new york? >> well, i haven't stepped on the governor's issue on this one. he's being very careful because there are environmental concerns. but overall -- >> shouldn't he be a little less careful? >> overall democrats throughout the country has supported fracking. most of us have and it's worked well. >> would you like to see it in upstate new york? >> if it's done carefully. the governor feels it's going to
be done carefully, i sure would. you would? wow. well, you are just like -- good. we need it. do you think there has to be a deal on minimum wage where you split the baby, the republicans get something they want. democrats get something they want. now here's something we can use for a visual. like rattner on this show. that's pretty good. that's attractive. here's the minimum wage chart. we created 288,000 new jobs. jobs are going up. private sector jobs. but wages are going down. they're paying so much less there's less money in the average middle class person's pocket. there's a good argument for minimum wage. since the early 1970s, they've been going down. wbr id "wbr40780" look, i hear you. /b so that's why $10.10 is important for one reason. and important to us. which is it's the bare minimum, you work 40 hours a week and you get out of poverty. why we push it, you should have wbr-id "wbr40925" a fair shot of getting out of poverty if you work 40 hours a week. can you negotiate on the length of time on seasonal workers on other things? yes. and we've told our republican colleagues we would negotiate. but i'll make a prediction here. just like unemployment insurance, they know they're on the wrong side here. we'll get a deal on minimum wage within the next six months. i don't disagree with you. we should index it to inflation. but there has to be a deal. president clinton gave a big speech where he talked about how he was criticized for cutting the capital gains tax. he got 6 million children health insurance. he got 9 million people moved out of poverty. the only question joe's asking is how do we cut a deal? you can have that conversation offline. but natural gas exports will help overseas, create jobs at
home, and a larger stockpile of energy. there has to be some give and take there. >> we'll get a deal on minimum wage. there will be some kind of compromise. there are lots of different areas of compromise. and it'll happen. it's just that $10.10 is a pretty strong feeling on our side because it's the bare minimum out of poverty. if minimum wage back in 1960s with inflation would be $10.71 right now. >> senator, we had your colleague tom coburn on last week. he said there shouldn't be a federal minimum wage. the free market ought to take care of it. what do you think of those who oppose minimum wage, that it leads to the loss of jobs? >> economists are on both sides of that. i think what they don't do, those who say it will lose jobs, forget about all the money that would be pumped into the economy. >> i know. >> that creates. and they don't believe in that because that's dynamic scoring
on our side. i want to bring up one thing, our next fair shot agenda item. this week elizabeth warren will introduce legislation on making it easier to pay for college. two parts. first, you should be able to refinance. in other words, there are tens of millions of young people and their families who are paying on hundreds of thousands of loans. you should be able to get it down to 3%. we're going to push that. by the way, this is one of the biggest things hurting the market. i totally agree. let's have elisabeth on this week as well. we're pushing this middle class agenda. i agree. let me ask you about the midterm elections. new indicators show wbr-id "wbr42520" rough waters ahead for democrats. front page in the usa today, take us through that. the poll says republicans
have their biggest advantage in two decades. numbers show voters shifting away from supporting democrats over the last six months. a majority of voters say the president isn't a factor in their vote. but the number of democrats voting in support of the president's record has fallen 16 points since the 2010 elections. the number of republicans voting against his agenda has increased still. when compared to this point and george w. bush's presidency, the president's approval is nine points higher. voters have showed a deep desire for change during both presidents' second term. >> chuck todd, look at the usa today, not good news. not good news about the polls showing democrats not in good shape right now. that changes every week and a half. but look up top. i think you're going to see republicans holding this headline all day. health care spending up the most since 1980. of course it's only the first
quarter, but we're going to be having this debate over the next six months as well. what do you make of these polls? the nbc news poll, the abc news poll. it does look like democrats have some tough sledding ahead over the next few months? >> it's may. the best number they have to tout is the one that happened on friday. right? it's that jobs number. you know, the one unknown here is, you know, we've been told for three years that if there were some form of government certainty, then private sector in the economy would start to take off. we'd start to see some consistent moves. they got their budget deal in december. so we have a -- we have sort of two years of certainty. there are no major things that are sort of up in the air between the two parties right now between congress and the president. there's no giant standoff. if -- you know, the what if there is three or four straight months of what we saw on friday
where you have nearly 250,000 to 300,000 jobs created over that period? does that change the mind-set? to me it's about the only thing that could change the dynamic. because it does feel like we're not yet in concrete, but it's certainly a very heavy mix. it's drying quickly. that is of concern to democrats. the only thing that could change this dynamic, i think, is sort of this -- an economy that starts taking off that the public believes is taking off. >> sam stein, the sub-head on this top story, more americans visiting hospitals under obamacare. but last hour, though, you dug into the numbers. what do you find? >> well, this is sort of what was predicted when they were gaming out how the affordable care act would play out. which is as soon as you had a couple million people getting insurance for the first time, they would see doctors, they would go to hospitals. health care spending would spike. now, prior to this, health care
spending had been on decline. the question was was that because of obamacare or because of a sagging economy? i think we need to look ahead. i mean, the next couple months will be a big indication of whether or not health care spending is out of control. for the senator, i'm kind of curious along these lines. where is obamacare politically at this juncture? it's hard wbr id "wbr44670" to tell on the polls whether democrats have gained anything from those enrolled? how will it play in november? two things. i think the negatives will be somewhat lower. the positives will be somewhat higher. i'm not sure it will be in that positive. but i do think it will be less bad. i do think this and this is what all the polls show. joe's question is right. the good thing in the polls and that's why we're focusing on the /b
agenda. whether it's middle class wanls, whether it's getting the economy going, whether it's health care, anything like that. so when we talk about substantive issues, we win. and that's -- we're trying to get the agenda back. i think by november the kind of issues we're talking about, college affordability, equal pay, minimum wage, jobs going overseas. will predominate over obamacare. they fired their shot a little too soon. >> all right. >> willie? >> do you think if you look at obamacare more broadly as sam stein pointed out in the last hour, it's difficult to talk about national polls because each state is different this time around. but if you talk to republicans they feel there's a wind at their back. how do you feel about the senate? >> i feel we're going to keep the senate. >> you do? >> yeah. you look at the four key races. alaska, arkansas, louisiana, north carolina where we have incumbents in red states. they're ahead in each one. even kay hagen is ahead by two, but she's had $12 million of
unanswered commercials against her. and she hasn't even begun to put on her positives or go after her opponent whoever it's going to be negatives. so i think if you look -- this is how it always is. nationally it looks better for republicans right now. mainly because middle class incomes are declining. what we talked about here. and the public is sour. >> all right. >> but state by state looks much better for us. we will keep the senate. >> texas governor rick perry -- i want you to stay for this one -- has been mentioned among potential 2016 contenders. >> good luck. >> is being candid about -- my god. senator schumer. >> last time i checked, he's not on any rolls in republican primaries. rick perry is just fine. he talked about his disappointing bid for 2012. but he also suggested the door is far from closed for a political comeback. >> you ran in 2012. a lot of people thought that was a botched effort on your part. how do you get a second look now? >> i would tend to agree with them on the botched effort side of it. >> what went wrong? >> listen, i think america is a place that believes in second chances. i think that we see more character out of an individual by how do you perform after you fail and you go forward. >> in kentucky, multiple horse races converged at churchill downs. mitch mcconnell tweeted this photo inside the track. but it was senator rand paul who drew the most attention hosting media mogul rupert murdoch around the luxury boxes. murdoch, no no vis when it comes to the matters of political imagery, allowed himself to be paraded around for six hours like a prized horse behind a proud jockey. amounted to a message to more establishment republicans that as he put it, i'm very open minded. >> chuck todd, if you follow rupert murdoch's history in endorsing candidates, anything is possible including a possible endorsement of rand paul or hillary clinton. i think much more likely to endorse hillary clinton than any republican senator out there right now. but let's talk about the first thing. i've got to say, again, we absolutely pounded rick perry around this table in 2012 for good reason. he wasn't ready to run. he had some back problems, on medication for that. i know about that better than anybody else as far as what back pain does to you. this guy's looking pretty good in the early stages. are you a skeptic? >> you know, i know we're supposed to be skeptical of him because of it was such a poor effort. there's a part of me saying where's he going to raise the money this time? it's going to be harder for him to convince the major donors. that guy who showed up to "meet the press" yesterday, he's very comfortable in his own skin.
there's something about when a candidate loses and accepts responsibility for the loss, it's amazing they can turn around. look. we have a history of our presidents having been humbled by an embarrassing loss. barack obama got thumped in a campaign for congress. bill clinton lost a re-election campaign for governor that was probably the most campaign he ever ran. losing made him a better candidate. george w. bush lost his first race for congress. you know, losing can do that, can humble you in a way. i have to say i thought rick perry seemed like a happy warrior to me. you could see him just sort of being this sort of tortoise kind of candidate. >> do not write him off. 1988, bill clinton actually booed at the democratic convention. four years later he was their saving grace. he was so bad that he actually went on "the tonight show". >> johnny carson thing turned
over the timer thing. >> he was a punchline. and senator schumer, you know this. politics, things can change. you know rupert murdoch, he's from new york, you're from new york. >> yep. >> spent a lot of time with him. he could endorse a republican. he could endorse a democrat. i think it's all safe for us to say around this table here he's not going to endorse rand paul. >> he's a neocon. rand paul is the opposite. i don't think he'd bring himself to trust rand paul's instincts. but to go there, that was a smart political move for both of them. i admire that. one thing on the republican nominee in perry. he may be the comeback kid. here's the problem. the republican party needs to be somewhere in the middle. romney was sort of perry-like. but unless you move a little bit to the middle in the general election, you lose the only two candidates who have pushed the tea party off. christie, jeb bush. i don't think another candidate's going to come close
to -- >> mitt romney is a creature of the middle and he lost. >> he wasn't. >> john mccain was a creature of the middle and he lost. bob dole was, he lost. >> different america. it is. >> no, senator. >> yes. >> we are one america. >> hey, joe. hey, joe. could you imagine the chuck schumer ads that are going to get run against them? he just endorsed chris christie. >> no. they can push off the tea party. that's true. >> note to self. always book chuck schumer after the white house correspondents dinner because he is loopy and possibly inebriated. >> any republican candidate that pushes off the tea party will not only lose the primary. even if they pass the primary -- you need both sides. >> that's why we're going to win. you can't push off the tea party
and win the general. senator, you know what? you're fighting the last war. okay. we'll see. we will see. pinky bet. oh, my god. okay. senator chuck schumer, thank you. chuck todd, thank you as well. we'll watch you on "the daily rundown" wbr-id "wbr49390" on msnbc this morning. ahead in our 8:00 hour, senator joe manchin and senator tim kaine. and army veteran wes moore with a special look at vets overcoming extreme obstacles when they return from serving abroad. plus democrats say republicans are just playing politics by harping on benghazi. our next guest says they're just afraid to confront the truth. republican congressman peter king standing by. and then louis takes us behind the scenes for a look at the white house correspondents dinner. his look. and it's awkward and weird and all over the place. louis, i'm sure zbln lots of

adams. he's the one person who kept his word throughout this entire process. and he brought about peace at tremendous risk to himself. now, he was saying there's no evidence against him. the only alleged evidence i'm aware of is there's two people both of whom broke with adams because they were opposed to the peace process. and they were determined to get gerry adams. they made this on tape to boston college. they're both dead now. these are the hardliners who hated adams. >> they hated adams because he was forcing peace on the ira. >> exactly. >> that's what was so surprising to me. this is a guy who every day walks around with a target on his back because he dared to make peace in northern ireland. and he dared to move away from the violence of that conflict. a guy that walks around and is
literally risking his life for peace in ireland is a guy now being arrested by irish authorities. i don't get it. >> it makes no sense at all. he was a person that was shot in 1984, he was almost killed. now he's being targeted by the ira by elements of the ira who are opposed to the peace process with the british. so he has put himself at risk. i think what part of this is is it's going to win big in the elections coming up in two weeks. i think there are elements in the blish security apparatus who don't want to see adams achieve these victories and they have not gotten other what happened 40, 50 years ago when there was so much on all sides. just last week the british government said it would not
announce the massacre of 11 catholics in belfast was carried out by british paratrooper unit in the '70s. i agree, by the way. i think they should end the investigations and go forward. >> there are horrors on both sides. we are in a time of peace. it's so irony just last week a close friend of our family who is from northern ireland and very supportive of the catholic position was actually grumbling about that sinn fein and gerry adams went too far. i said who would you vote for if not him? he said i'm going to vote for sinn fein because we have to move forward. then he's arrested takes us back to 1972. i just don't get pit. >> i want to turn now to benghazi. house speaker john boehner is forming a select committee to
focus on the issue. he says the white house misled the american people by withholding documents related directly to the attack. democrats are indicating they actually might boycott the whole thing. >> i do not know why at all any democrat would want to participate in this by boycotting it it just becomes a redundant and partisan republican exercise. it's only a matter of time before democrats raise the follow question. would there be a select committee if it didn't want to have the power to subpoena the former secretary of state hillary clinton for obviously reasons pertaining to presidential politics. >> congressman king, it's willie. you said the idea of a boycott is wrong. you said it would be arrogant. you say democrats feel they have something to hide. what questions do you have left about benghazi? what do you think comes out of this select committee? what's left to know? >> first let me just talk about
what george said there. to me the purpose of a select committee is to bring all of the elements together. right now there's too many separate parts involved and the whole picture can never be brought together. a lot of questions here. one, i have real questions. where was general petraeus during the entire time of the talking points? and as you look at the talking points and e-mails back and forth, clearly what happened here i believe is there was an ere ro for. the state department did not provide enough security. i understand these things. instead of owning up to that, they went to the phony story about the video causing this spontaneous demonstration. and from there you had elements from the white house like ben rhodes and people in the state department working to come up with a narrative so susan rice would go on television and tell a story. there's always politics. joe and i have been involved in a lot of political issues over the years, but i just feel when you're talking about four americans being murdered, the government, the president, the state department, the cia, the national security council have an obligation to tell the truth. and they have not done this to this time. >> i think it is hard to boycott something where four americans have died, you have an ambassador killed asked for more backup and support. even moving forward, how do we prevent this from happening in the future? i think it's going to be tougher for democrats. >> hard to do. though george's point about it being transparent as a matter of raw politics is true. to that point, one of the things that democrats and many others are concerned about is the notion this will be a transparently political exercise. and it will run on forever. so is there a way in which the select committee's duration could be limited so that you wouldn't be looking at the potential of an ongoing investigation that would go out all the way through the end of the 2016 campaign and conceivably 2017 if hillary clinton does happen to run. she may be president and being investigated over this. >> i support the select committee. i think there cab time frame put into it. this should not go on forever. from a political point of view, i think the worst thing republicans could be seen as is somehow encouraging a political fight over the fact that four americans were murdered. because it is so serious, we have an obligation to make it work, to make it work in an effective and efficient way. support the people on the committee making sure they function in a professional way and we not turn it into some kind of a show. it should be out of the way before the 2016 elections are in high gear. no doubt about it. >> all right, congressman peter king, thank you very much. good to have you on. >> good to have you on. >> thank you, joe. our own louis was in washington for the white house correspondents dinner.

americans might pay attention to it. what do you think? >> i think what we need to do is get our hands on the documents that the white house has been withholding. i mean, that's probably what the american people want to see. so regardless of who chairs, the question is what type of cooperation are we going to see out of the white house. and waiting 20 months to finally release some of these documents and only after a request, that leaves everybody questioning. >> why is it important? democrats think this is overally ideological. why is it important to have a select committee? >> well, you had four americans die there. you had a political spin that went on for months and months at least through the election trying to assert that, you know, this was about a very different reality than the one on the ground. when it happened on the ground as you talked before, it was a terrorist attack. this is not what the administration wanted to spin to the public. so that's a political act. >> what's the theory beyond the question of how the talking points are put out by administrations all the time. it was a political campaign. there was a lot of uncertainty in the immediate aftermath about what happened. what's the theory of critics about what would be recevealed the worst case scenario? what's the dark part of what the failure was that happened? >> the conspiracy is the coverup itself, right? but if you want to call it a conspiracy. i don't know what else you -- what other conclusion you want to come to. you had a situation where you had people on the ground who needed to be defended. and you had a political act in the white house where they decided not to provide the assistance prior to the attack despite all the evidence and afterwards decided to say this wasn't because it wasn't an al qaeda attack at all. it wasn't a terrorist attack at all. it was spontaneous. >> we had multiple investigations of what happened in benghazi, right? media investigations, congressional investigations. >> and for the first time we get some insight into how they were trying to spin this as a political argument that get out there and emphasize, efmphasize this was not a failure of policy. yes, it was. it was a failure also to listen to your ambassador and other people on the ground who wanted the assets to help defend that compound. this is a real issue. >> at that point in time, what was our libyan policy? obviously ambassador stevens knew what he was getting into it. this was a country he had deep roots and ties to. but we all know from the coverage that got us to that point, the complete chaos that libya was. so if you're talking about a policy failure that led to some type of conspiracy, what is the
policy failure? >> the policy failure here is not listening to your assets on the ground. you heard the deputy chief admission, his testimony in the senate. you recall he relaid all the attempts to get things in place to defend. we now began to see that ran with the political spin that the administration was trying to sell at the time. that's one of the reasons, apparently, why they wouldn't allow the defense of the -- of the compound with the additional assets that might have protected those four americans. >> with hindsight being 20/20 in all of this, is the main reason this is flooked at now is becaue it's under hillary clinton who might be running in 2016. >> don't you think the main interest is it took 20 months to get to the bottom of this with a request that was made by an outside organization despite the fact that congress including my committee had requested these documents. if you wait 20 months to get a document, it's a question in terms of what the administration is up to in not coming clear with the oversight responsibilities that congress has here. >> all right, ed. thank you so much. and again, the most important thing both sides have to remember so much. again, the most important thing both sides have to remember, four americans dead. that's what we have to focus on and figure out how we make sure it never happens again. >> congressman ed royce, thank you very much. >> thank you, ed. >> coming up, liverpool hopes to win its first championship in three years. roger bennett skipping into the room. i have no idea what he's about to say because i can never understand him. ♪ where did you go, where did you go ♪ when the world called for speed... ♪ ...when the world called for stealth... ♪ ...intelligence... endurance... affordability... adaptability... and when the world asked for the future. staying ahead in a constantly evolving world. that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. that's the value of performance. tigers, both of you. tigers? don't be modest. i see how you've been investing. setting long term goals. diversifying. dip! you got our attention. we did? of course. you're type e* well, i have been researching retirement strategies. well that's what type e*s do. welcome home. taking control of your retirement? e*trade gives you the tools and resources to get it right. are you type e*? the was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of the things that matter most. join today at angieslist.com

didn't know i was going to tell it. whoever wrote it will be fired. so i will be a man and own up to it just as soon as i know how it happened. and if i find any wrong doing on my part, i assure you i will be dealt with. i just looked into it, it turns out i'm not responsible for it. justice has been served. >> can we just celebrate these pictures, by the way? it is so beautiful outside. after six months of just absolute garbage. look at that view, beautiful sunrise over the mall. it just gorgeous. >> and senator from west virginia joining the table, joe manchin. and the birthday boy, visor to

mika. >> everyone talks about fat jokes and whether or not they're appropriate. >> i don't appreciate it because look at this picture. i've lost weight, okay? i'm not that fat. >> look at mika in that picture. look at how angry you look. you look scowling. >> well, it's a long story. there was a lot going on there. >> it's a party, mika. have fun! >> the first part of rehabilitation is the ability to laugh at yourself. >> that's a good point, though. i'll tell you something else he's doing. he is staying away, he's working in jersey, like we said he should. he's not going on national shows, he's keeping his head down. i thought for me a moment when i was just reading the "new york times" a couple weeks ago and there's this long story on bridgegate and whatever they call it. i get halfway through the story and i go vladimir putin is in russia right now. i don't want to keep obsessing about two lanes being closed back in november. and if i'm thinking about that as an analyst, i'm thinking a lot of americans are thinking, okay, fine, if he told the truth, let's move on. >> right, birthday boy? >> yeah, he's moving on. i think it's on to the next act. >> i don't know about that. i would say he looked physically terrific. we'll really happy for him about that. chuck todd, chris christie in terms of his appearance there and the whole story of chris christie being the butt of some jokes, what do you make of what happened over the weekend? >> that one joel mchale riff that you guys played, that was brilliant. that was just really well delivered. he hit the timing and it was pretty funny. but i agree with you. i saw governor christie. first of all, you can tell he's losing weight, he looks physically -- >> terrific. >> he's absolutely making progress. kudos to him. congratulations to the governor on that front. you're right, he looked like he was comfortable. he got a ton of incoming. you thought maybe that's three, four monies old, is that going to resonate. that one riff by mchale was hilarious. were like, my god, i think governor christie got picked on too much. >> i was sort of flinching. >> it oddly sort of helped him. >> apparently he took the jokes much better than our good friend donald. >> yes, he did. >> so joe manchion, let me ask you something, are you thinking
about leaving all of this stuff in washington, d.c., heading back home to west virginia? >> the only thing i have said is it not been a very productive time the last three and a half years. i said i want to contribute more. so i keep all options open. >> you can do something good every day, feeling like you've made a difference in someone's life, waking up excited to go to work given. i want to feel that given. i'm going to wait to 2014 to see what shakes out. i have a better platform in the senate to make a difference in the world, my country and my state. but if the leaders don't get together and it just going to be stalemate, i have to rethink it, too. i'm not a spring chicken anymore. >> you look great. >> you are a spring chicken.
come on. >> it's just a very dysfunctional place and culturally an unpleasant place to. a lot of people say, man, this is not a fun place to work. how much worse is it than you expected it to be? >> i didn't know what to expect from this standpoint. i always thought it was the highest honor in our country's public service to be able to serve in the senate. i keep hearing people say, well, it used to be that way in the good old days, it used to be this way. well, i've not been there when anything worked. where i come from from west virginia, you don't embarrass people and attack people every day and then expect to work with them. >> i'm expected to basically sit down across the aisle and raise
money against them and what's most important? the country moving forward? the bess government is good politics. >> and minimum wage, i asked chuck schumer earlier, can we get a compromise, democrats over $10, republicans still fighting. do you think there as a compromise, maybe $8.50, $9, throw in keystone, both side, compromise? whatever helps workers? >> keystone will be by itself -- >> will keystone pass by itself? >> it should pass. it passed last year by 62 votes. >> why isn't it passing? ilt ridiculous. >> no one can give me a good explanation why. >> let's go behind closed doors. is this really all about donors on the far left pushing democratic senators from doing what they know? >> those are donors that i don't know very well.
>> that's good. >> so i can't spack from that side of the bench, okay. with that being said, it doesn't make any sense and i don't think it helps democrats, especially democrats in challenging areas so we've got to move forward. 10.10 is great but if we can't get it, give me something. >> chuck todd did you want to check in. >> i want to ask you this, senator. you're not the first former governor who comes to the senate and says, oh, my god, what have i gotten myself into? there's a wheel caucus of you guys, about 10 or 12 of ex-governors serving as senators and you guys are the ones that sort of feel the dysfunction than others. because you were executives, you got to make aity signatures and see it implemented whereas here
you make a decision and see what government does with it. i understand that. why can't you guys get together and become a powerful caucus, lamar alexander, yourself, uch got mark warner. you guys are sort of are center left or center right in some ways. why aren't you banding to the and trying to become two pushbacks at harry reid and mitch mcconnell? >> we have formed a caucus and we are working together. some of those senators are not you for reelection. their state and their populous and basically where they have to be. the ten of us said, listen, we're going down this road together, swim or sink together, it would chang the whole country and change the world. i'm hoping we can break out of
this. it's becoming more contentious. no matter what happens, this election is going to be tight. no one is going to have 60 votes. people in the middle are going to start leading because the bottom lien is we've got to move forward on issues and the economy and the jobs -- >> so let's look at the landscape because new indicators are showing rough waters ahead in the mid terms. a pugh/"usa today" poll said republicans have their biggest advantage in decades. numbers show voters shifting away from democrats over the last six months. the number of democrats voting in the mid terms in support of the president's record has fallen 16 points since the 2010 elections. the number of republicans voting against his agenda have increased. still the president's approval is 39 points higher than
president bsh's rating. 65% are saying it's time for different policies under president obama. >> here's the "usa today" poll, they talk about how democrats in many ways are in worse shape than they were in between. but you know what? i remember 1994 and how it felt that year. i remember 2006 when democrats swept. you sure remember what it felt like that year. i remember what it felt like in 2010. all three of those years, i felt it coming. i'll be honest with you, i don't feel that. when i go out there, i don't feel -- i don't feel what i felt those three years. i remember telling republican friends in the beginning of 2006, don't run. brother, you're going to get killed. don't run. they ran, they got killed. i don't feel -- that doesn't man republicans aren't going to win. i'm just saying at this point in the election process, it doesn't feel like 2010. >> there's a little uptick in the economy if it continues. >> listen, i got to get more than three words out of mark mckinnon. i know it his birs day. >> maybe he's already prepared for it and that's why he doesn't want to talk on the air. how do you feel about republicans this year? is it going to be a big year or not? >> i don't think it going to be a tsunami but i think the republicans will keep the house and have control of the senate. i think they'll have control of boat john mccain jis. >> just very quickly, i think the reason you dent feel that way is when we normally have these wave years, the party that catches the wave has been out of power. the question is are voters so enamored with the party so-called out of power but are republicans fully seen as out of power or do they share some of the blame for the discussion in washington. i also remember 1998 when we were so so sure we were going to have a repeat of '94 and there would be an impeachment and it blew up in their face. what do you think? >> i simply look at the quality of the candidates we have. weep have the candidates in the most contentious races in the moderate, middle range. these are problem solvers able to work with us. when you look at kay haguen and mary landrieu, i think they'll success and they'll win. it will be close but these are the time of people need to keep in the senate. they're quality people that can work with both sides. they're not to the far left, for right. >> quick un-for-hypothetical. if you were running for election this year, one, would you ask the president to come campaign for you in west virginia -- >> no. >> and, two, would you run away from obamacare or would you embrace it in part or embrace it in whole? >> you can't go back to having the most expensive health care in the world and being 34th in the world in terms of longevity. i wouldn't have voted for what we had today. but what the problem and the

we could put a million troops on the ground in afghanistan. the question of afghanistan is never going to be a military solution, it's a political solution. >> let's talk about the military solution, what we're doing as a country for our returning vets and what we're not doing for our returning vets. coming back with wes moore, as you know, we're losing 20 vets a day to suicide. what are you revealing to all of us? >> with coming back, i wanted to show a sense of humanity of what we're talking about. these have been the nation's longest wars in the history of our country. the fact is the vast majority of americans have had zero connection to them. we wanted to add a as soon as of hu -- sense of humanity.
we have vets coming back with significant challenges that we are now responsible for because these are veterans who when were asked, stepped up. we have extraordinary men and women coming back with great skill sets we have to utilize better. >> there's a scandal going on in va centers, are things getting better there in terms of dealing with back log, all the medical issues and all the stuff that department's been so criticized for. are we seeing progress? >> the truth is we're seeing progress but it's still not fast enough. when we have situations where you have veterans who are waiting 36 months in order to so a doctor, we know we still got work to do.
the truth is, when our nation needed our veterans, we didn't ask our nation to wait. we stepped up instantaneously. so why when they come home are we asking them to wait. of lot of this comes down to the duration of the wars. i've been meeting with families and v.a.s all over the country. last week there were about 250 vets in a room. i said how many of you would have expected if i asked you 12, 13 years ago we'd still be in afghanistan? three people raised their hands. we also want more communication. a lot of veterans are waiting for feedback. we want to know what happens and

human if this didn't enter into consideration. this will be a topic in the 2016. they will be 69. she will be 77 if she serves two terms and this ends up being an issue. >> clinton's spokesperson blasted rove's remarks saying hillary clinton has recovered 100% from the blood clot from 2012. a republican and the white house getting involved as well. >> this was not clever. this wasn't an insinuation. this was karl rove running head first into a brick wall. nothing drives people away from a decent office than this kind of attack. they say why would i put my family through this. it weakens -- in both parties, it weakens the fabric of both. >> here's what i say about cognitive capacity, that dr. rove might have been the last person on election night to recognize and acknowledge that
the president won re-election in the state of ohio. we'll leave it at that. >> go back to the newt gingrich comment it weakens the fabric. that's tough talk coming from newt. we go fresh off the thrilla in manila. we'll let you be the one around the table to defend karl rove this moraning. he didn't say brain damage -- >> he said she was wearing a kind of glasses that were associated with severe brain trauma or something like that. >> which i find this fascinating because she wore coke bottle glasses in college. you have ever seen those pictures of hillary in the late '60s and early '70s? what's karl thinking? >> i think she couldn't wear her
sunglasses, she they gave her a pair of glasses. >> she was wearing the same style four years ago and her traumatic brain injury didn't get in the way of being the most successful secretary of state in history. >> let me try to explain karl. what karl -- >> let me try to explain karl. >> hey, i feel different. karl didn't just stumble into this line of questioning about hillary clinton's health, okay? he's one of the most prepared and deliberate speakers. and when he gave speeches at the white house, people were always doing -- you know, reading research. so this karl's nature, is that things are talked through. he plans these types of thing. >> so are you telling me that he thought through this before saying this? >> well, i think he thought
through and is probably, you know, maybe not in front of -- >> what's his strategy? >> well, i think injecting questions about her health crisis from a few years ago is something that karl thinks is fair game. and i think that the fact that we're having a three-day conversation about hillary's age and health, he is in this objective. >> it's not about hillary's age and health. it's about whether karl rove suffered brain damage. >> well, to some. but some of the people that may be thinking about 2016 have definitely given some thought to -- >> she is giving it all she has. >> that's all i've got. >> karl rove -- you know what -- >> can we go back to jon stewart, is there anything else? >> you gave us an ending. >> i mean -- >> listen, katrina was easy compared to this.
>> well, when you rebecome president, you release the results of your colonoscopy. >> you know what karl was trying to do. >> if she becomes president, there will be countless discussions, over the years she will release her -- >> this comes directly from the stupid part of it you're talking about. ronald reagan got inaugurated at 69. when he starts at 69 and leads at 77, i think about ronald reagan. that's not a bad thing. >> there anything that they can device to try and diminish hillary clinton, they're going to use brain damage, benghazi, boko haram now. that's what this is. >> that's all this is. >> jim peters -- go ahead. >> i was going to follow up on what nicole was saying, she's exactly right, this is not
accidental. hillary's health is something that democratic strategist have been whippering about for about a year now, when they talk about what can ruin her candidacy, it's always a question of her health. here's a case of the most public visible case really spilling out into the open. now, one thing i think this is not, and you've heard some of this chatter over the last couple of days, i don't think this is sexist. i think you would have had these questions come up about biden. >> it's ageist. >> nicholl, remember i told you, they released that ad, how many houses did john mccain have? well, he can't quite remember. >> that was an attack against his family wealth and his age. >> and his age, right. >> these questions were going to come out, anyway. i think the question is whether or not karl rove has temporarily taken it off the table by being
so crass about it. >> but the other thing that shouldn't get lost, it is interesting, look at how the clintons respond. their first response is pretty funny. she's 100%. but they escalated throughout the day to near hysteria through the end of the day, whoever gave the initial response should be given the job of rapid response and whoever gave the second or two should be the understudy. >> for people that don't sit around sets like this or don't talk to journalists, there have been questions off camera, speculation. i only say this because jerry was talking about republicans. it wasn't just republican a lot of reporters were worried about her health. of course, they had absolutely no evidence whatsoever. they were worried. >> they were worried with justification after that fall. >> with some justification, it took her a while to come back
but it was speculation. and karl rove didn't help himself and he didn't help the republican party by speculating like he did. >> when we get the results of all of these personal data, colonoscopies and everything else, i think we'll find out she's healthy as a horse. >> there you have it. >> marco is clarifying remarks? >> yeah, going back to the climate change remarks. senator rubio found himself the target of unwanted headlines after he recently entered the climate change debate talking at the national press club. the potential 2016 presidential contender tried to clarify remarks he made on sunday. here are the original remarks and what he had to say about them yesterday. >> i don't agree with the notion that some are putting out there including scientists that somehow that are actions that have is an impact on our climate. >> let me get this straight, you do not think that the human activity, the production of co2
is caution changes? >> i do not believe that human activity is causing changes the way the scientists are portraying. i do not propose the laws they pass will do anything about it. >> headlines notwithstanding, of course, the climate is changing because climate is always changing, that's a measurable you can see. there is climate change. i've never conceded that the climate is not changing. that's not the question before me as a policymaker. the question before me as a policymaker, is that if we ban all coal in the u.s., if we ban all carbon emission information the united states, will it change the dramatic changes in climate and the dramatic weather impacts that we're now reading about? and anyone that says that we will, it not being truthful. but for you to go out and say if you pass this bill that i am proposing this will somehow lead to us have less tornadoes and hurricanes, that's not an accurate statement. >> seems rational to me. >> listen, i may be out of step with my party on this.
i don't know where you have to live to think that the climate isn't changing dramatically. and miami is one of those places where they haven't seen dramatic change. it's not the same thing as acknowledging that climate change is real. >> i guess what's interesting about this, i'm not exactly sure who marco's audience is. he says he believes in climate change. i do believe, like he said, that we're not going to pass legislation they're going to stop tornados and hurricanes, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and the left is -- >> but that's a defensible position. >> that is a more defensible position. but i'm just saying all the republicans i've talked to. and i've been talking to a lot of them for a very long time over the past four or five years, they believe in climate change, they believe that humans are responsible for climate change. the only thing they don't believe that the federal government could combat and
impose massive cut jacks because it makes extremist and trillion they'res. >> without getting china and other parts of the world that are doing more. >> they're doing more, actually. >> right. >> so in a time in the world, everybody is saying, steve, we'll go to you, we're going to be in competition with china for the next 100 years and china is going to outcompete us. at that time, we're supposed to usually disarm and let the chinese continue to damage the atmosphere more than us? and we're supposed to be worried about what tom steyer and other people say? i don't believe that. and even if we do what we do in that direction, without putting millions of americans out of work. >> i agree. first, the same people, the middle people, do want to have
some kind of coordinated change to climate change. >> they're so effective? >> the reason, nicole, they are not effective, if you're a country on your way up, and you don't have all the resources and you say, wait a minute, you guys have polluted the air for 200 years, don't i get a chance to pollute the air for a while while i'm economically developed. china, they don't have any clean energy. they have coal. and imported oil and really expensive natural gas and that's it. and they don't have any nuclear yet. so it's going to be very hard for them to do what they have to do, but he have to do it. and it thirdly, joe, there are policies, nonetheless, there are policies out there that we could put in place that would destroy millions of jobs that would put us on a path for a more responsive behavior. for example, we've not increased
the gas tax since 1983. the highway trust fund is going broke. we could raise the gas tax, rebate that to americans so it didn't cost jobs and get more balanced. >> jeremy peters on the hill, you look at polls, and i don't think climate change is at the top when it comes to intensity. i would suspect because of that we're not going to see another pass or do anything on the climate for quite some time. democrat stride in 2009. even the president was reluctant to get involved but they dragged him into that battle at the last minute. any legislation on the hill that marco rubio would have to be concerned about voting on before the election and the rest of the candidates? >> there was a bill that fell apart this week in the senate, an energy bill that was actually quite modest, the fact that it fell apart in a filibuster just shows how difficult it is to get even the smallest things through on climate. >> what -- well, you have your moderate democrats that like the
landrieus and others who do not support this legislation? >> no, it fell over keystone. there was a land mass that landrieu and bagich wanted to approve. the white house has not decided what it's going to do. and if it ultimately decides it's not going after this, they are going to wait until after the legislation to do that because they don't want it to hurt senators like begich and landreau. >> i thought it was fascinating having the canadian ambassador here last week. he kept doing the talking points that i thought came from the
koch brothers, i asked him where he got it, he said, oh, the state department study. >> our state department? >> our state department. >> this is one of the most widely overpoliticized decisions. >> a lot of very rich liberals don't want barack obama to pass this legislation. and what do they have to worry about? because they got millions and millions of dollars. it's just the 50,000 people that aren't going to have jobs because of it. i hope that makes you feel better. go to your yacht, polish it -- you won't polish it, you'll have somebody else polish it. that would be a really good paying job that makes you feel bad about yourself. have them buff your fingernails, too. coming up on "morning joe," we're going to be talking to senators rob portman and john tester about some of the most pressing issues in washington including the keystone pipeline and the controversy surrounding

former u.s. treasury secretary timothy geithner. i'm sure they pull put u.s. treasury secretary. it could have been canada, luxembourg. but, no, this guy was former u.s. treasury secretary. he's out with a new book "stress test: reflections on financial crisis." wait wait to read this. i'm glad you finally got more people in the treasury department. let's start there. you had a couple of dogs wandering the hallways the first year. it was actually hard. that was a challenge. >> you could hear the echoes of footsteps. >> you had. but that first year, it was so shocking to us that you were going through the financial crisis of our lifetime and you couldn't get staffed. you. >> we had great people, we really did. >> i know you had great people. it took you a while, though.
what was the challenge? don't say you had great people again. you didn't just win the nfl -- okay, the super bowl. talk about the tough start. >> well, the world was burning still. remember, in january '09, the country was falling off the cliff, complete was shrinking at the rate of 9%. we had already put trillions of dollars in the financial system, but things were still frozen or falling apart. >> right. >> we had to find a way how to right the ship, how to land a plane safely. yeah, we had challenges. >> off the top, steve ratnor. >> ratnorwas fabulous. >> obviously, this book has ignited talk about what happened. different points of view, left, right, all that stuff. looking back, i think the central concern people have is
did we do too much for the banks? did we give them too much money, too cheaply, not fire enough ceos, more pain from the share 408der, more pain from the executives who got bonuses. how do you feel about that? was there stuff that could have been done differently, i know you had legal constraints but wasn't there something that could can be done differently? >> i think the huge damage done by the crisis and all the bad people that caused the crisis, they say, really, seriously, you couldn't bring a tougher measure of justice more quickly for people. but that was a classic panic. we were risking the great depression. and the first challenge was to land the plane safely. once we landed the plane, we moved quickly to try to clean up the system and bring a much better response. it's true, you could look back and say, was it tough enough on
them? but the first obligation, the most important obligation was to protect the risk of massive unemployment, a great depression. we did that, it wasn't messy, but we did that effectively. better than any government has in the last 100 years in a financial crisis. >> you write about being handed talking points by a white house official -- >> it was actually my treasury colleague. >> i'm not trying script you but suggesting messages that you had a pretty visser ral negative reaction to. i certainly have been in the position that they may have been in of wanting a cabinet secretary to echo a message. seeing it from your perspective -- i know you worked with some of my former colleague in the bush administration. you can talk about how political your job got and how difficult that was? >> i think one of the most important tests of government in a crisis is the ability to put policy above politics. >> it's impossible, isn't it? >> no, it's not.
in fact, i think that was a great moment for the united states. if you look at that moment, you know, the transition between a republican and a democratic president, you know, the world at the edge of a great depression. you had two presidents with bipartisan support, mostly from democrats at that point. basically put politics aside. and do what's necessary to help pull the country back from the abyss. it was a pretty big moment. >> with the t.a.r.p. and all of that? >> with the first to break the back of the panel. then the stimulus to put money back in the hands directly of the american people. and then the range of the financial system. i got a pretty good test of government at a terrible time. and we passed that test much better than other governments who sat there, were paralyzed by their politics. or played politics with the crisis. a pretty good moment for the bank. >> you mentioned in january 2009, we were on the brink. that was a term we heard a lot.
the country's about to go over the cliff in the fall of 2008. what does that mean explicitly and specifically? i mean, what would have happened if we hadn't taken that step back? >> take a look at the great depression, there's no memory of it. you know, people didn't live through it. but in the great depression, unemployment went to 25%. and gdp fell by 25%. and it took a decade to try to get back to some measure of security for people. and that's because we allow it as a country, a financial panic torsion escalate and bring the system to collapse. and why does that happen, it's like the lights going out. it's like the power not functioning. if the company can't get oxygen, people can't borrow and businesses fire people on a brutal scale and people are trying to protect themselves. that produces a certain set of conditions, panic leads to crash. that's why it's so damaging. and then, of course, they have massive innocent victims in that
content. >> so how close were we? >> right at the edge. paulson wrote he thought we were three days away from the atms not working. people were talking about burying gold in their backyards. you could hear panic and fear in the voice of the leaders of the world and largest corporations at that time. >> mika does that. unrelated to the economy. jeremy peters is in washington, "the new york times" has got a question for the secretary, mr. secretary. >> mr. geithner, one of the prime takeaways of this book is just how complicated your relationship with larry summers is. he promoted you to various senior positions. he was your mentor. and as you know, the president was strongly considering him for chairman. federal reserve, twice, actually. do you think that president obama made a mistake by not picking him? >> no, i think that janet yellen
is going to be excellent. i watched her make judgments at a very complicated time. and i think she's going to be an excellent chairman. i have just huge respect for larry summers, i think month more talented person in the country. henry kissinger said about larry summers, you should give him a permanent office in the oval office to vent any idea. he's a great person to work for. he's a pretty challenging, demanding guy. i used to say, what matters is the ratio between the thrill and the torture. and with larry, the thrill was -- >> higher? >> -- much greater than the torture. >> a couple issues before we wrap it up, one, what you had to say about elizabeth warren's hearing. she said she were made for youtube hearings, sort of show trial, explain. >> well, that was sort of a
gentle way to put it. >> like they were witchhunt, talk about that? >> i've got a lot of respect for her. >> it doesn't sound like it. >> i do. she did a great job in standing up with the agency and protecting from a form of abuse. she was excellent. there's a lot of oversight process. >> what made them show trials? >> well, you know, people didn't like what we were doing. it was unpopular stuff. it was essential, necessary stuff, very effective stuff but it was deeply offensive to people. it looked like we were giving money to the arsonists. the core paradox of what it takes to break a financial panic to keep the lights on. and there are going to be collateral beneficiaries of that. and that's deeply offensive. she gave a lost voice to that concern and she was very eloquent in making that case. >> speaking of arsonists, a
handful of banks still control 50%. too big has gotten even big. >> you're right, you always worry about too big to fail. and this is something we should always worry about. it's like a federal war. you should be on it. >> the big bank's concern, still approaching 50%? >> well that's not the way to think about it. that risk for the country is say much lesser risk today because of reforms we put in place. i'll give you examples. we mate capital requirements -- the limits on risk much, much more conservative than they were before the crisis. >> why? >> we had much better tools to put banks on the line when they screw up. >> let's say -- they're not going to because they've strengthened. let's say citi has a crisis, we're bailing them out or do we let citi fail? >> we're in a much better
position to let them fail that doesn't do too much damage. >> was it a mistake not to save lehman brothers? >> it's not like financial security. we don't give presidents a set of tools to react. we don't do that because of other concerns. we don't want to leave the market with expectation. >> if you could do it all over again, would you? >> if we had the authority -- >> with the authority, would you save lehman brothers? >> you don't want to save everybody in a financial crisis. it's a mistake to do that. you have to make sure you do -- we didn't have this authority until after the panic. we want to make sure we can protect the rest from the failure of the rest. you want to make them fail -- to use a different metaphor, you want to draw a fire brig around
the couordinates. >> should they have been saved? >> in retrospect, with full knowledge at that time, what we should have done, we would have escalated much more quickly to prevent the panic from spreading. of course, now, we ultimately did that, but it took a lot more work because the fire was burning too hot at that point. >> all right, tim geithner, thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you, nice to see you guys. >> the book is "stress test: reflections on the financial crisis." you can read exempts on our website mojo/msnbc.com. >> first, americans are hitting the bottle harder than ever before, we'll explain why in your morning papers and "morning joe" sports next.

all right. let's take a look at some of the morning papers. "the wall street journal" crews, are racing to save hundreds of miners after a deadly accident in turkey. at least 201 people are dead with more than 200 others still trapped deep underground. almost a mile under there.
the coal mine is located in the town. soma, about 150 miles from istanbul. nearly 800 people were in the mine when a fire triggered an explosion. the fire is under investigation. two children are recovering from serious injuries after a gust of wind swept away one of those bouncy houses. >> my son loves those. >> oh, my gosh. >> this is that bouncy house that parents like myself. >> and me. >> and you. have been putting in your yards for your young kids' birthday parties. three children were playing inside one of these bouncy houses when it was ripped from its stakes and sent it flying high in the air. a witness took this photo that we were showing. you one child escaped with only minor injuries. >> look at that. >> look how high those three little children are up inside that bouncy house. one escaped with no injuries.
another boy has some broken bones after falling 15 to 20 feet in a parking lot. while the third has a serious is head injuries after landinging on a car. this is horrifying. terrifying. >> horrific. >> they're usually staked down when you see them in the yard. but maybe that's not strong enough when the wind picks up. from the parade of papers the san francisco chronicle, google wrote the global web of dominance got more difficult. the right to be forgotten. meaning google can be forced to erase links to content about individual people on its search engines. that includes documents. >> the quote, other documents, very important for mike barnicle. if there's ever going to be a senior staffer for elizabeth warren, he will not pass through the background check. >> that's correct. >> because of the quote, other
documents. >> other documents that are in mike barnicle's computer main frame. >> your confirmation are going to be interesting. >> legal experts say this decision will only impact operations in europe and citizens of the e.u. and from the l.a. times, army sergeant kyle white is the latest recipient of the congressional medal of money for this heroism in afghanistan in 2007. white was honored for his actions for his ambush where he helped other soldiers and maintained radio contact all while injured. some were present at the ceremony. he's the seventh living recipient for a medal of honor for actions in iraq and afghanistan. sergeant white is going to be joining us in the studio on monday. >> can't wait to meet him. the telegraph, the united states has become the world's biggest consumer of wine, all right, passing france for the first time in history. >> that's something to be proud of, right. >> a new study said wine
drinking continues to climb at a record pace, meanwhile, the popularity of wine is fading in france. u.s. consumers bought 2.9 billion liters of wine. still, the average frenchman drinks six times more wine than the american. so per capita was trailing behind. we got to get to work on that. willie, nba playoff action. >> a wild one between the clippers and thunder. let's go to the fourth quarter. okc had been down about 13 points with four minutes left. kevin pierce. and durant on the break lays it in. a two-point game. clippers quick inbound to chris paul. he turns it over. no foul called. the ball ends up out of bounds. this one is reviewed. and in a controversial call, the thunder get the ball back. so 11 seconds to play. another controversial call.
russell westbrook of oklahoma city is fouled shooting a three. he hits all three foul shots. the thunder take a 105-104 lead. with six seconds on the clock, chris paul is stripped. he loses the ball again. the thunder come back for a 105-104 win. and a 3-2 series lead. clipsers head coach doc rivers was steaming after the game. >> that's our ball. we win the game, and we got robbed because of that ball. it's clear, everybody in the arena saw it everybody was shocked when they said oklahoma city. that was our ball. we got two more games to play. but that could be a series-defining call. and that's not right. >> wow, that's pretty strong. the series goes back to l.a. society clippers get a chance to even the series back there. the wizards blew out the pacers. they were on the brink of
elimination. 102-79. it's coming back to d.c. tonight, the nets fight for their lives in miami. miami can close that out, and the spurs can do the same against the blazers. >> what about the rangers, down 3-1. >> 3-1 in the series come all the way back against the mighty pens. a couple of good one in the stanley cup playoffs. blackhawks and wild in game six. and the rangers and penguins in a huge game seven. >> and he scores! patrick kane, one hand, and chicago is headed to the western conference final. >> carried back off the wing and worked on by mcdonough. swatted on the cross. score! and the rangers are going to the conference final. >> rangers come all the way back down, 3-1 in the series to win game seven. they'll face the winner of tonight's other game seven
between the canadiens and the bruins. the blackhawks will face the winner of the ducks/kings. that series is tonight. >> can the bruins do it, mike? >> yes, they can. >> well, those are two evenly matched teams. it's go to be a great game. there will be fights tonight. >> if you can get boston and new york in the conference finals. still ahead from "morning joe" from the men who brought you freakonomics. and at 7:00, magic strikes back. he's heard enough from donald sterling. his reaction. he says enough is enough. we'll be right back on "morning joe."

donald sterling literally comedy jam. jeremy peters with us. and with us from washington, nbc news correspondent and host of "the daily rundown" chuck todd. winning columnist and associate editor of "the washington post" and msnbc political analyst, eugene robinson. we're going to talk in two seconds about the sterling controversy. but, chuck todd, we had a lot of elections last night. a lot of races. a couple have stood out. what are your thoughts? >> well look, it's a generational change in nebraska. this is a couple of young guys taking over the nebraska republican party. pete ricketts tried to run for the senate a few years back now is a heavy favorite to be governor. and ben sass. i think what's unique about sass, a lot of groups are saying, hey, we want a race, we want a race. but the establishment is split in this race. >> now, sass went after mitch
mcconnell a way back. >> he did. this is about mcconnell. but paul join was for sass. i had sass on my show yesterday. he said he'd vote for mcconnell as leader. she'd try to put an end to that. i think he's going to be a little moron johnson than he's going to be ted cruz. a lot of people are trying to figure out where is this guy going to fit on the senate. i'd put him more on the johnson side. >> he's now a big favorite to win state wide, right? >> slightly. absolutely. and shelly is a heavy favorite in west virginia. be west virginia's first republican senator in over half a century. but she is, dare i call this person a pro-government republican. they do exist, and that's about what you have to be ideologically in place like west virginia which actually likes federal dollars coming into the
state because she's going to be somebody like a murkowski, collins, the republicans that do a lot of bipartisan deals. >> sound goods. let's go straight now, the latest from sterling, some quotes that i can't believe. >> the earthquake of the sterling interview, the ripple effect continues because we're one day after donald sterling attacked magic johnson. the former laker star is fighting back. magic was dragged into when v. stevian know post evidence this image on instagram. it's a photo made public by tmz sports. and sterling told her not to bring magic johnson or any other african-americans to clippers games to that original racist rant that was made public. it was days ago that sterling went after magic again, this time for having hiv. >> what has he done? can you tell me? big magic johnson, what has he
done? >> he's a business person. >> whose got aids. did they do any business? did he help anybody in south l.a. >> i think it's hiv, it didn't focus on aids. >> what kind of a guy that has sex with every girl and then he catches hiv. is that something that we want to respect and tell our kids about? i think he should be ashamed of himself. what does he do for the black people? he doesn't do anything. >> here's a man who we would think would be educated. and a man who would -- is smart enough to build this type of wealth. he's reaching, he's trying to find on to something that's going to save his team. am i upset?
of course. but at the same time, i'm a god fearing man. i'm going to pray for him and hope that things work out for him. the problem is, he's living in the stone ages. he can't make those comments about african-americans and latinos. he just can't do it. >> gene, i don't know where to begin with the ignorant statements. let's leave hiv out of it and instead talk about the fact that for a very long time, magic johnson has focused on going into inner cities and creating economic development and bringing hope to the hopeless in a lot of african-american communities for some time. in fact, that's what i've associated him with over the past 10, 20 years. >> yeah, so many ignorant statements, so long time. it just shows how out of it and how divorced from reality donald sterling is. and i think sometimes invested certainly tens of millions of
dollars, i don't know if it's hundreds of millions of dollars into low-income communities across the country, created economic opportunity. he has walked the walk, in addition to talking the talk. and is the last person in the world that you would say such an ignorant and prejudice thing about. but there you go. that's donald sterling. that's the donald sterling we've come to know. and not exactly love. >> mike barnicle, how can this guy remain associated in the nba? i can't see any judge thinking that there's any way that he would have any standing, to have any part of any team? >> well, he can take them to court, certainly, but there's no way he's going to end up with the l.a. clippers at the end of this, with whatever litigation proceeds. i choose to go back to what is soon to be ex-wife reference last week when she said she
thought certainly that donald sterling was in the early stages of dementia. >> he's got to be. who would do that? >> it's possible, the racism goes back a bunch of years, guys. >> yeah. >> so it's not like this stuff wasn't buried down in there. maybe even his sensor is turned off. >> no doubt. there's no guard rail now, so he's going right off the cliff. >> it's insanity. and it's just -- i don't know -- i don't know how this guy, and we've asked this question before, thomas, how is this guy been allowed to be an owner since 1981, the nba had to know, had to know. well, they did know that he had racist tendencies. >> yeah, they had the largest judgment go against him for discrimination and a payout that he and his wife had to make based on discriminatory practices. so the nba does know what's
there. if they have something to leverage him out -- and he agreed, mike, as you point out, he knows what's in the laws of nba ownership. if they have majority of those owners saying he's got to go, he's got to go. that's something that he agreed to on the front end. and according to his work philosophy, if magic johnson made such a mistake and should fall into the background and never be heard from again, what's his problem? he's made such a horrendous mistake that he should drop off the face of the earth. >> obviously, he has nobody around him that can counsel him. and he's stumbling from one crisis to another. it's unbelievable. speaking of surprising, it's not quite along those lines. but karl rove is actually doubling down on the suggestion that hillary clinton should be prepared for serious scrutiny about her health should she decide to run for president in 2016. >> we've got the republican strategist that is pushing back
against the new york post head line. he questioned whether the former first lady may have brain damage. it's pretty clear where he's trying to aim the voters' attention. >> my point was, that hillary clinton wants to run for president, but she would not be human if this didn't enter into consideration. and my other point is this will be an issue in the 2016 race. whether she likes it or not. she'll be 69 by the 2016 election. and she'll be 79 if he ends up erving two terms. >> clinton's camp blasted back saying she's recovered 100% from a blot clot in 2012. it wasn't just clinton pushing back, a well-known republican and white house jumped into it as well. >> this wasn't clever, ant it wasn't insinuation. this was karl rove running into a brick wall. nothing drives decent people running away from public office
more than this type attack. it weakens the fabric of democracy. >> here's what i would say about cognitive capacity which is that dr. rove might have been the last person in america on election night to recognize and acknowledge that the president had won re-election, including the state of ohio, so we'll leave it at that. >> chuck todd, what's going on? i mean, i just don't understand why would karl rove bend over backwards to make hillary clinton look like a more sympathetic figure? >> i am curious. it's amazing the conspiracy those are i heard yesterday. rove did this, he's doing the old lbj here. make them deny that they have brain damage. throw it out there and then say, oh, i didn't say brain damage, brain damage, brain damage, you know, but i'm trying to get it into the ether. and then i've talked to other folks who say that rove truly
was sort of shell-shocked that that got out there. that wasn't what he meant. >> well, he didn't exactly spin it very well yesterday. >> and he didn't spin is very well, no. look, the fact is she's the same age, she's going to be the same age as reagan was. if you're going to go down this road and claim she's going to have health issues, and things of that nature, then you may have to be throwing your own guy, ronald reagan under the bus a little bit. so i think this is a dangerous, tricky road to go down. and as we saw, with rove, you go down this road, and you stumble down this road, i mean, i agree, at any point, any presidential candidate has deputy release their health records. i don't care if they're 45 or 70. at the end of the day, i think it's important, the american public wants to know, they want to make their judgment about who the running mate is, things like that. so that is fair game. but to sit there and say it only really applies to her.
and you go down that road, it's going to look a little sexist if you're not careful. and it's going to backfire. >> you obviously have known hillary for a very long time. and you're absolutely confident. while you said legitimate -- there are a lot of people legitimately concerned after her fall that she's doing fine. >> look, i think she's doing fine. you watch her during her time as secretary of state, all the travlgs all the wear and tear and meetings she did. yeah, she had a little health problem, but probably would the rest of us after what she went through. regardless of what rove was doing, it's clear what what he was doing. if somebody like joe biden decides he wants to be in the mix two or three years older than hillary, it's going to apply to him. senator marco rubio found himself the target after recently entering into a climate change debate. speak at the national press
club, the potential 2016 contender looked to clarify remarks he made sunday. here are the original markings and what he said yesterday. >> i don't agree with the notion that some are putting out there including scientists that somehow there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on our climate. >> let me get this straight you do not think that human activity, production of co2 has causing change? >> i do not believe human activity is causing changes to our climate. i do not believe the laws that they will pass will do anything about it. >> headlines notwithstanding i of course, the climate is incorporate challenging because the climate is always changing, that's a measurable you can see. i've never disputed that climate is changing. i pointed out that climate is always changing. it's never static. that's not the question before me ace policymaker. the question before me as a policymaker, if we ban all coal,
all carbon emission information the united states will it change the dramatic weather impacts that we're now reading jab and anyone who says that we will is not being truthful. but for me to go out and say if you pass this bill that i'm proposing this will somehow lead us to have less tornadoes or hurricanes, that's just not an accurate statement. >> there we have him cleaning up his language but former president gore speaking about the calculus around climate change. he's said it's not complicated and why candidates are carving out their positions now. >> they will face primary opponents financed by the koch brothers and others who are part of their group, if they even breathe the slightest breath of sympathy for the truth. >> sympathy for the truth. jeremy peters, let's talk to you about the whiplash effect that we're seeing from senator marco rubio. obviously what he had to say to jonathan karl did not go over
well at the national press club and he's giving a different answer on climate change. >> i think this is what happens when you're thinking about running in a republican primary at the same time trying to become a viable national figure. you have to say one thing that on the one hand doesn't alienate the base. in this case, the republican base doesn't want to hear that global warming is man-made or a serious problem. but on the other hand, the majority of americans feel this is a real issue and that it needs to be dealt with at a federal level. so you've also seen this pattern from other contenders. possible contenders for the republican nomination. remember what happened with rand paul when he came out and said that republicans need to stop talking about voter fraud. and voter i.d. he got slammed on the right, even though what he said, this is offensive, republicans need to be careful about the way they're talking about this. it's offending african-americans. yesterday, he walked those statements back, saying, well, i
didn't say -- i didn't say that these laws are a bad idea. all i was saying is that we need to not talk about them as much. a lot of times these guys are trying to have it both ways. >> chuck, off of what jeremy just said, potential candidates trying to have it both ways, not offending the base. karl rove's comments about hillary clinton. the base, not only the republican, but specifically, the republican base, where does this potential field of candidates go in appeasing the base, while perhaps alienate oeg they have a demographic problem anyway in this country. can they shoot the middle here? is there a middle for them? >> i don't know, they have a -- we talk about a demographic problem. i go back to the term and color phrase of 2013, this is a period of time where it's not exactly where the democratic party was in a great place in virginia. and he used climate change, he
used some of these issues. but climate change was one of them, to define his opponent as out of the mainstream. you won't believe what he said about this in suburban -- in a suburban part of the state. this is -- there is a sort of a suburban wing that used to exist of the republican party that's sort of pro-business. the old eisenhower, rockefeller republicans. the children of them are starting to vote democrat. not because they're enthusiastist perhaps about the democratic party but they're just -- they've gone all brian sullivan to reference that. but they go, wait a minute, what's going on over here? and they feel as if you can't have rational discussions about certain policy issues. and so that's the voter that they've also turned off in suburban america. and 2016, the clintons are very good at wooing suburban america. and climate change that can turn
off potential with right-leaning republicans. >> gene robinson, a fascinating story in the front page of "the washington post," your newspaper. you read the article, he has conservative challenge from the right in his district. there was this weekend, where cantor was booed by republican act that visits. quite a turn of events for a guy who was seen as the conservative alternative to john boehner just a year ago. what's going on? >> well he's in trouble. and it's hard to figure why or how. because he's gone so far out of his way to try to define himself as the more tea party-friendly member of the leadership. of the leadership duo. and the one who will, unlike john boehner was really with the tea party. now, he faces this challenge that seems to be getting serious. i mean, i don't know that -- i don't know that you can call him
in grave peril at this point. you know, look, the majority leader in the house in a safe district, isn't supposed to be in trouble at all. at this point of the cycle. and i think it shows something that's happening in general about the republican party through these primaries. even though the so-called establishment candidates are winning a lot of races. they didn't win last night in nebraska, particularly. but they're winning a lot of races. but the tea party is bringing the staekt farther to the right in some cases. cantore will probably be brought yet further to the right. this, i think, could present problems for the republican party in the general election. >> we shall see. all right. thank you so much, chuck todd, thanks. we're going to be watching "the daily rundown" at 9:00 a.m. eastern.
you guys go after it, right? >> the irrational middle, that's what america needs. angry middle. >> the angry middle. they saw it yesterday. gene, stay with us if you can. former yankee second baseman willie randolph is here to explain why the yankee way it's the way it is. and senator jon tester is here later this hour. up next, his energy bill was derailed by the controversial keystone pipeline. we're going to get senator rob portman's thoughts on that and much more. you're watching "morning joe." be right back. 0

unfortunately, many americans live on the outskirts of hope. some because of their poverty. and some because of their color.
and all too many because of both. our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity. and this administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in america. >> that's lyndon johnson 50 years ago, declaring a war on poverty. now with the republican senator from ohio, rob portman who has revealed his ideas for a conservative plan to take on poverty. thank you so much, rob, for being with us. >> you you bet. >> we thought it was an either/or. you have to be republican or you have to fight against poverty. what are your plans? paul ryan's been talking about a focus on poverty, too? what are we willing to do to help in this area? >> well, first, just the opposite you know, from
either/or. lyndon johnson just talked about opportunity, rather than despair. i mean, lieu technical economy today, joe, we're clearly at a point of despair, in the sense that poverty is up -- the rate of poverty is up. 47 million below the poverty line. we also have a weak economy coming out of a recession. the recovery is not adding hope and opportunity to the middle class, as well as people on the poverty line. so the question is, what do we do about it? i think there's two major things. one is, we need to grow an agenda. and you and i have talked about that, that includes transforming all of the economy, from the health care system to tax code regulations and so on. that's what jfk talked years before this. a rising tide lifts all votes. and second, even with a rising tide, people are going to fall through the cracks and end up on the shoals. we talked about prevention and
treatment and recovery. some of the models there, two decades ago, you and i worked on this issue of drug abuse from a republican perspective, but also a bipartisan perspective. i've done this with regard to prison re-entry with second chance. my point is there are ways to get at this with constructive conservatism because we know it would. >> if we're talking about this, i'm just pressing you a little bit here, if you came out and said i've got a plan to take on poverty and tax cuts, et cetera, et cetera, a lot of people are going to roll their eyes and say, well, that's the republican party we've been hearing about for 50 years. there has to be a spending component to it if you're going to get people's attention. are you and other republicans willing to invest in some of these programs to make a difference? >> yeah. i think we do. we invest in what works. i talked about yesterday, joe, of the fact that we should use federal funds to leverage local
and nonprofit private funds. this has happened with regard to the drug issue. the example i used was this legislation that was passed two decades ago that i offered that talks about how to get community coalition, started. it turns out there's like 5,000 coalitions that have been sparring for the act. it has to be funded at the local level. it involves the whole community coming together. the idea is it's not going to be solved from washington. also evidence-based approaches, i talked about the second chance and the fact that it requires that we use the best practices and the federal government has a big role to play there because some of the best research is done at the federal level. you can bring together best practices. you can go online and see the website it's called what works. >> gene robinson with "the washington post." >> senator portman, good to talk with you. >> thank you. >> does the republican party have any plans to address poor
people? to try to communicate with poor people on these issues and to try to sell a program that, frankly, does sound like what republicans have been say for a long time. and what a lot of team think has not worked. >> yeah, look, i don't think republicans have talked about this for a long time, john kennedy's admonition that a rising tide lifts boats. in a growing economy, some people will be left behind. i think we saw that in 1980, for instance. we saw that in the economy. and yet, ronald reagan actually talked about how do you deal with people who have drug addiction problems and therefore there are broken families and therefore there are problems. we need to get back to that. i specifically talked yesterday that you're not able to deal with some of the broken communities until you deal with drug addiction and the impacts, particularly, the impact that's
disproportionate on communities with the current war on drug which is i don't think is working. and secondly, the record number of people in prison and not dealing with them when they get out. 95% of them are going to get out. that's a conservative approach otherwise taxpayers are picking up the tab for two-thirds of those people getting back in the system. there are ways to deal with those things. >> i don't want to cut you off. we've got a lost people that want to get at you, rob. here's steve rattner. >> you had a couple references to kennedy's quote a rising tide lifts all boats. but it was a lot more than nap it was after his famous visit in 1960 when he in fact launched the war on poverty. launched what became head start. and your party was in the process of trying to cut all of those things. you of course voted against raising the minimum wage. i know you think costs jobs but
would raise 4 million or 5 million people out of poverty simply by getting them to $10.10 an hour. so what is wrong with those programs? >> steve, first of all, regarding the minimum wage, since you talked about that i strongly support programs that create jobs. i don't support raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour because it's going to create fewer jobs. the issue with regard to poverty isn't the minimum wage, with all due respect as much as it is about jobs. as you look at it, as you know fewer there been 0.3 of 1% of people are under minimum wage and under the poverty line. why? because most people under the poverty line need a job. it's not about the minimum wage, it's about a job. the problem about raising the minimum wage too fast and too high, you're going to eliminate jobs. the budget office has joined and said if you do what the president is proposing it will result in jobs being lost not gained. why not do things like making
the earned income tax credit work better. things that could affect work. i do support that in ohio. that would. i think states should be able to do that. i think we're getting off track on some of these political discussions. i know it's very popular, the minimum wage issue. again, ohio's got a higher minimum wage index. >> mike barnicle. >> senator, these are admiral goals but how do you attack poverty in this country when many members of your party have voted to cut food stamps. they've voted to repeal health care, you talk about a rising tide lifts all boats. how do you talk about a rising tide that lifts boats still filled with the hungry and rising ill-health? >> i do believe that the rising tide theory is important. in fact, i think it's necessary. you got to have a stronger economy. you've got to have growth. there are five or six things that we should do immediately to
get the economy moving again. dealing with health care costs. and the competitive global economy. we've got to do a much better job really reforming all of our institutions of our country as other countries have done when we have not. my point is that's not enough. it's not sufficient. the question is how do you come up with ways that are practical, i call it constructive, to actually look at what's worked. and deal with the issues. i don't believe it's going to happen from washington alone. by the way, lyndon johnson said that later in that same speech which is this is not going to happen in washington, it's going to happen in the field. it's going to happen in private homes in public lawsuits from the courthouse on up. he even acknowledged this is not something that's going to happen in washington. but washington has an important role to ply. that's what i tried to lay out in my speech yesterday. >> rob, thank you for being with us. senator rob portman. tomorrow morning on the show, glenn greenwald is going to join us on his new memoir on braying

back from iraq and the injuries to the vets are pretty intense, especially the ones we can't see. i think the v.a. is doing a pretty good darn job. that being said, if one veteran dies because somebody screwed up on a wait-list, that's far too many. >> first of all, i've got to say, there are a lot of veterans that would take exception to you saying, quote, the v.a. is doing a pretty good job. if you think the v.a.'s doing a pretty good job. i think you may be one of people in washington, d.c. that think that v.a. is doing a good job, but maybe one of the few people in america who believe that. >> i couldn't disi agree with you more. i've been around the state of montana. i've talked to veterans for the last eight years. and i'm not a veteran. i've talked to veterans. and i can tell you almost truly without exception they truly appreciate the v.a. is it perfect? absolutely not. does it need to be improved? absolutely. we need to work on it, especially when it comes to
mental health issues. but overall, i will tell you that the v.a., and i'd know it's in vogue right now to politicize everything that's going on with the v.a. but the bottom line is, we need to get to the bottom of this, we need to find out if there's wrog doing and hold people responsible. >> it's not in vogue with all due respect, senator, there's been a waiting list that's been extraordinarily long. an you've got parts of the v.a. that are actually cooking the books. and possibly killing veterans. >> we need to get to the bottom of that. but i will tell you, the waiting list, we knew was coming. it was coming. and i can tell you that this secretary has reduced it by 45%. that being said, it's being increased by 45%, too. because we're having veterans come home from iraq and afghanistan as we wind these wars down. and i think it's good we're winding these wars down but we've got to be realistic. the fact is, the waiting list is too long. secretary shinseki has made it a priority. and he's worked hard at it. and he needs success.
in the meantime, what has congress done? well, we've had sequestration and shutdowns and anything but certainty to the v.a. so when we see politicians badmouthing the v.a., they're pointing a finger at the v.a. and three back at themselves. >> that's bad mouthing the v.a. paul reichoff is bad mouthing the v.a. he's not a politics. and there are are millions of other veterans for some reason don't share your rosy scenario of the v.a. >> let me tell you, the v.a. has plenty of room to improve. but they do plenty of things right, too. i think if we want to focus on the negative and we don't want to focus on ways to improve the v.a., then we'll be right where we are right now. asking for resignations when we don't have all the facts. we need to get all the facts and then we need to act appropriately. >> well senator, instead of
focusing on the negative, you come from a big state. let's talk about accessibility from ptsd treatment. you get in the car and drive for hours some veterans before they get properly treated. what can you do about that? what should the v.a. be doing about it now? >> well, what we need to do, we need to get both in the v.a. and the private sector more mental health care professionals throughout. this could be the biggest issue fatesing this country over the next 20 or 30 years. what the v.a. is doing about it, they're trying to hire as many folks as they can to serve areas both urban and rural. they're working on telehealth which is critically important. with success, by the way, even better than eye-to-eye work that they've done with the folks that have ptsd and tbi. look, it is a business issue. i don't know that we've got one psychologist east of montana. and there's a big area east of billings. there needs to be work done there, no doubt about it.
all hands on deck to get it fixed. >> senator jon tester, thank you for being with us. greatly appreciate it. >> thank you. >> i don't get it. i don't -- >> it's an outrage. >> well, you talk about -- >> i don't get that, i talk to veterans all the time. >> we have them on the show. >> i talk to veterans all the time that wonder why shinseki should still be there. they are killing vets in phoenix. they are cooking the books. i don't know if he -- if he's lobbying for another facility. in his state. i don't understand that. >> well, and you talked about -- >> i'm sorry, that is -- >> that's political in itself. >> that is one of most remarkable disconnects, political disconnects from a guy i've always respected. i don't get that. >> he's a good guy. he's heart's in the right place. but the reality is the v.a. is an incredible mess. at outrage more senators going
the house of representatives, the american flag, we have to take care of our veterans. >> and even came on saying shinseki who he has covered a long time and he doesn't get it, he doesn't get it, giant should be gone. i'm shocked that you've got a united states senator saying this is about politician? it's about vets. >> coming up next, yankee great willie randolph joins us. wow. ♪ [bell rings]

now former second baseman, now coach for the yankees, willie randolph. we're just talking about what you're doing now. you managed the mets for how many seasons? >> three and a half years. >> you had a great run as a coach and player with the new york yankees. what's next? >> i hope i get the shot to manage. i got the opportunity and lived the dream. i grew up in brooklyn, new york.
i rooted for the mets as a youngster. i got a chance to manage the team. my life has been really charmed and really blessed. and then also captain of the yankees. living both worlds and just understanding the game has been good to me, i love the game but i'd like another shot and see if i can get better at it. >> you ought to get another shot. >> your career with the yankees spans almost 30 years. you put it all together and you saw some things. >> yes. >> you were there for reggie jackson, you were there in the 80s with don mattingly, you saw jeter come up from the minors and watch him grow under that great yankee run with joe torre. can you put into words what the experience was for you? >> it was a great experience for you, a 21-year-old kid to be a part of a world series championship. the yankee way means a winning tradition, a legacy that's rich in championships.
everyone can't win, it's not easy to win championships. i was fortunate to get traded by the pirates to the yankees and it just took off for me, again, storybook. the yankees for me are about family, tradition. the steinbrenners gave us an opportunity to win. i was fortunate to play with great players, hall of famers. >> how would you like to be joe girardi trying to handle jeter's farewell tour? >> how hard is it to know when it's time? >> the players don't know it's time. your hear feels i can do that. >> i went through that a little bit with mike piazza. he did a great job of saying you got to give me a day off, i'm okay with this.
derek is a different thing. it's got to be a tough thing for a father and son to go to the game and jeter has the day off. it's a tough, tough pill to swallow. >> when you talk about the hear, though, do you have a conflicted heart when it comes to new york and mets and yankees? i know the book is called "the yankee way" but you grew up a mets fan. do you have a conflicted heart over where your allegiance really lies? >> i'm conflicted but the best of both worlds. when you manage a team, it's like a father/son. as a player, you leave it on the field. i enjoyed playing more than managing. but when you think about me, i'm a yankee. you know, i got the world championship rings, i was captain of the team. >> the ring says it all.
distracting. >> we're all surprised you didn't say the mets way. >> and i was the honor of being one of eight yankee captains. that was special. i probably have some pin stripe blood in my veins but the love the mets. >> that ring, though, look at that bling. >> this was actually, 2000 world series. imagine living in this town? this was the most nerve racking. the true subway series. they're going on right now but had is the real subway series. >> there a lot of great stories, including the one where you went to yankee stadium as a fan and heckled derek jeter. you got to read the book. >> still ahead, magic johnson's reaction to donald sterling's

history as a miscalibration by carl because of of the way he let it come out. i'm not 100% certain he wanted this in the blood stream. this was a private event. people can say, as nicole did yesterday, people had no know this was going to come up. he had to know this was going to come up. >> but the clean-up was not handled well either. >> what she said in private obviously is in private. obviously she didn't have brain damage. i just disagree with her on issue. >> the republican party is in crisis right now. doesn't look like jeb bush wants to run, people are worried about chris christie, there's another other establish candidate. the big gun, the big brains at the presidential level is what can we do to intimidate hillary clinton from running or try to make the conversation about her
about the past and negative. i think that's part of the package that carl's part of now but i don't think he planned this. >> well, joy, this sure isn't a way to intimidate her. if i had my opponent throwing a wild charge like that at me or let's say a member of my family i'd go, okay, well, so they're going to just hand me this election then, aren't they? it was a stupid thing to say and it was stupid to not back down from it. >> yeah, i mean, the source of it obviously he's now backing off saying he didn't really say that but it comes across, if true, as a schoolyard taunt, needlessly petty and small, a stupid insult. as somebody who grew up wearing glasses, it comes across like a schoolyard, foolish taunt. it doesn't in any way get to hillary clinton as secretary of state. like what you're supposed to go after if you're being serious about running against her is the actual content of the work she's done as a public figure, the content of what she did as
secretary of state. this petty stuff and speculating about her having brain damage, it isn't even serious politics. >> and talking about her being old, when karl rove says she'll be 69 if she wins, 77 when she gets out, you know what i think? think of ronald reagan, who was 69 when he was inaugurated, 77 when he was out. i would take eight more years of ronald reagan. i know a lot of people would. but republicans, who are listening to karl rove, i don't even think republicans get it. >> can't you just see hillary clinton saying to rand paul i'm not going to use the youth and inexperience of my opponent against him? >> exactly. >> you're reminding people she has a lot of experience in public life. people who know her and know politics understand she's a serious person. >> the republican party is in
existential crisis right now. their kind of republicans now are trying to disqualify her. it's the strategy president obama used to disqualify mitt romney. they're saying our only hope of winning now until we have a candidate that can match up with her until we have a candidate in the electoral college, is to disqualify her. that's where the energy is now. >> is karl rove more wary of hillary clinton or more leery of the existing republican field? >> he would like a horse to get on. until they have a horse, there's a one-word job description for the party right now, who can beat her?
they don't have anybody gung-ho who can beat her, to try to start enough noise who can beat or damage her. >> the tea party got a much-needed primary victory last night, some are saying. the nebraska former bush official, ben sasse captured more than half of the votes. he's scored endorsements from sarah palin and ted cruz and outside groups including club for growth. they spent millions on sasse. when he called out senator minority leader mitch mcconnell to show some, quote, actual leadership on obamacare but yesterday he down played that rift and told chuck todd he would absolutely support mitch mcconnell as leader. and pete rickets, businessman who won the primary in nebraska
had the backing of ted cruz, who campaigned out there for him. so ricketts has to be the favorite for that state. a lot of tea party got behind him and establishment got behind him as well. he was a unifying candidate, wasn't he? >> but he is an outsider. mcconnell is someone who will come to washington like senator johnson of wisconsin or mike lee from utah, he's not going to come and play nice. i don't think he'll be as far outside the mainstream of the party in terms of attitude as ted cruz. he'll be a senator and peter ricketts will be senator most
likely. >> and magic johnson was first dragged into this controversy after sterling confronted his then mistress over a photograph. stiviano posted the image of magic johnson on it instagram. sterling told her not to bring magic or any other african-american to clippers game during that original racist rant and then sterling went after magic johnson again, this time, believe it or not, for having hiv. >> what has he done? can you tell me, big magic johnson. what has he done? >> well, he's a business person, he -- >> he's got aids. did he do any business? did he help anybody in south l.a. >> i think he has hiv, he doesn't actually have full-blown aids. >> what kind of guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl and then he catches hiv. is that somebody we want to
respect and tell our kids about? i think he should be ashamed of himself, he should go into the background. but what does he do for the black people? he doesn't do anything. >> here's a man who we would think would be educated and a man who would -- is smart enough to build this type of wealth and own a team, to have an incredible platform to change the world but he's doing it in a negative way. he's reaching. he's reaching. he's trying to find something he can grab on to to help him save his team and it's not going to happen. am i upset? of course. but at the same time i'm a god fearing man, i'm going to pray for him and hope that things work out for him. the problem is he's living in the stone ages. he can't make those comments about african-americans or latinos. he just can't do it. >> joy reid, why don't you tell us what donald sterling is thinking when he goes on tv and
says that? >> the only thing i can think of between that and what he said to v. stiviano on the phone, here's a man who has a desenep sense o inadequacy, just his girl friend being a picture in magic johnson -- >> what kind of fool would say that? he has to know, does he not? we all know what magic johnson has done in communities and cities over the past 20 years. the investment, the financial investments, the risk he has taken to help the disadvantaged, he's done so much. forget the ignorance about aids or hiv, the more ignorant statement has to do with the fact that magic has been doing exactly what he said blacks should do. it's insanity. >> he's a deeply ignorant man who obviously knows very little
about magic johnson other than the way he makes him feel. this is magic johnson -- in the 1980s the idea of hiv/aids terrified people. magic johnson probably more than any other single person has humanized the issue of hiv, has made people understand it in the real sense. it is considered heroic in the african-americ african-american community both for the way he has contributed to the community and -- >> why doesn't magic johnson age? magic looks like he did 25 years ago. >> he's magic. >> that's right. he's magic for a reason. >> you have lebron coming out and saying he will not play basketball next year if this creep is still running the clippers or has anything to do
with the clippers. >> i'm not that familiar with the nba board of governor rules and apparently if the majority of owners is against sterling returner so he will be done. the larger issue, joy alluded to it, do you remember the day the news broke that magic johnson and hiv? >> of course i do. >> at that stage of the hiv crisis, he provided -- >> it's impossible for people too young to remember but there was such a panic. i remember americans going to restaurants and feverishly wiping down their silverware when they got to restaurants because they were afraid they were going to get, posed to the hiv virus. magic put a loving face on the epidemic.
we all thought, oh, my god, in two, three years magic is going to be dead? >> that's right. >> no, that was a turning point in that battle that we owe an awful lot to magic for as you were saying, joy. >> arthur ashe and magic johnson are the two people who did more to end the panic for hiv/aids than anyone else. the federal government refused to use the word aids, people fighting for basic drug care. people thought he would die almost immediately. his survival in and of itself but also his really just incredibly dignified champion of just living with hiv, besides the fact that he was just an ignorant fool who should be out of the nba, that is stupid. >> magic of '91, that's the on thing people would be thinking
about now. now that's way down on the list. people don't even think about it. talking about living with hiv and making a big difference in american society, the guy did it. joy, thank you for being with us. do you know what your show is going snto be? >> we're going to be talking about this and we're going to be talking about the nigerian girls. this is a very personal issue to me and we're going to stay on that story until we see a resolution. >> that's great. can't wait to watch that. >> are you following my advice? >> my staff can hear this, by the way. >> i told her to stay at home, relax. >> i've done it a couple of times. >> pixar has swimming pools and volleyball courts. you got to be in the right mindset. do not come in here for your meeting. i'm talking to the staff. >> don't watch this, just this

fell by 25% and it took a decade to get back to some measure of security for people. that's because we allowed as a country a financial panic to escalate and bring the system to collapse. and why does that happen? it's because the light's going out. it's like the power grid not functioning. if the economy can't get oxygen, just to mix some more metaphors, companies can borrow, then businesses fire people on a brutal scale and that produces those set of conditions. panic leads to crash. that's why those things are so damaging. and they have massive innocent victims in that context. >> how close were we? >> we were right at the edge. >> paulsen wrote he thought we were three days away from the atms not working. people were talking about burying gold in their back ya s yards. >> they cut out the part where
they explain that's exactly what mika is still doing, burying gold in her back yard, west chester, south of france, all over the place. >> that of course was tim geithner earlier. mike barnicle did not have a lot of nice things to say about elizabeth warren. >> i don't think he likes elizabeth warren. >> i don't know that he doesn't like her. but i think he clearly felt abused by her in the settle of setting her up for questioning, youtube moments rather than -- >> oh, i think he doesn't like her. >> okay. we're going to talk about that and much more. we're going to ask why too big to fail has got i don't know even bigger. brian sullivan is trying to recover from yesterday. larry kudlow, miles neddal, a cast of thousands will be with us when we return on "morning joe."

can we just stop saying "the republican party." as someone who grew up in a conservative household, i don't recognize the republican party of even my youth. i don't like what i see. i don't like the far right, i don't like the extremism. they've pushed me away. as somebody who is pretty much not religious, right, pro same-sex marriage, pro legalization of marijuana for the most part, okay, what party is this? what party am i supposed to be in when i'm a fiscal conservative who believes that small government can often be better. there are times for larger government. so we keep saying "the republican party" and i love you guys and i love the show and i come on all the time but i don't know who the republican party is anymore. i don't know in the republican party knows -- it's not a party i can get on board with because
i don't like the small minded attitude, a lot of the right-wing stuff that comes out. >> well, come on down, come on down. >> give this guy a cup of decaf. >> a ticket to new hampshire. >> that was brian sullivan on our show yesterday. brian is back today. lexapro is doing a remarkable thing in his life for the past 24 hours, along with larry kudlow and miles nadal. brian sullivan, i hear not just republicans but a lot of conservative republicans that oppose obamacare, that oppose higher taxes, that oppose more regulations, that are larry kudlow and joe scarborough conservatives who say you know what, just keep the crazy at home, we want to actually win elections and change america for the better. so i don't know that you're -- i mean, i'm hearing this from the
most conservative, ideological people out there, which is just stop winning election. >> by the way, i want to thank everybody for the support. that was obviously unexpected and a little bit out of character. i appreciate everybody writing in. >> you didn't just win the academy award. >> it's like baseball. if the pirates bat .320 as a team but every team bats better and they keep losing, does l thr batting average really matter? the republicans have lost five out of six of the last popular elections? >> we've last five out of six elections. larry kudlow, people are doing some really, really stupid things. harry reid should be going to boxing matches in nevada in his
pajama and flip-flops. he should have been beaten. >> keep your eyes open. he's on the ropes. >> i think this is a year where the big tent philosophy is going to work pretty nicely. >> it worked last night in nebraska. tea party support. >> the republicans are going to have the upper hand on economic growth and obamacare. tease are very important issues. with all respect to brian, i am not in favor of legalizing pot, i never will be in favor, i don't think the republican party should be in favor of legalizing pot, but if a state wants to do it, let the state do, it don't get in the way. i would say the same thing regarding certain key social issues. if certain states want gay marriage, that's up to the state. >> but the national party, let's focus on getting america back to work, right? >> and you're going to see that,
is going to be the big theme. this is the worst economic recovery since world war ii, the job situation still remains very difficult and, frankly, obamacare is not only bad for the economy, it's going to be bad for health care and health care costs. my advice to the gop, big tent is number one and, two, keep your eye on the balls that really matter. >> steve rattner, every time on the house floor we started getting to social issues, the republican party would split, work, jobs, taxes, regulation, getting people back to work, we'd be united. this economy, a lot of unrest in the economy. unemployment numbers are going down. last quarter that we flatlined, maybe because of weather. but you have a great chart here talking about how we've got two americas. we've got the america on wall street that's setting records every day and we've got the america on main street that's been losing real wages since
1973. >> it's true. the stock market has been hitting new highs pretty much every day. it's up 32% last year, 3% this year. >> is there a bubble? >> is there a bubble? i'm sure people on this panel have an opinion about it. looking at the price-to-earnings ratio, how expensive is the stock market in this goes back to 1910 and uses a measure developed by robert shiller, an economist. and it's not as high as it was in 1929 and it's not as high as it was in 2000 and not quite as high as it was in 2007 but other than that, it is higher than it's been. does it mean the stock market can keep going up some more because of these irrational bits of exuberance? sure, it can. >> but your chart doesn't end
we're in a bubble now? >> it suggests stocks are on the expensive end but not in the bubble we've had before. >> explain what happened to internet stocks. >> look what's happened. twitter down 47%, groupon down 46%. some of that are questions that have questionable business models. i don't think many think groupon is the greatest business in the world, twitter when it went public, the valuation was crazy. the whole market is sort of rotating at the moment away from internet stocks. >> can i make one point? steve is right as far as this chart goes. this is a ten-year average of price-to-earnings multiples. now, bob shiller is a smart guy. i'm not here to put him down, this is not necessarily the best way to measure it. look at last year or this year
or a year ahead,or really around 15 times earnings and that's not bad. my advice, sometimes kudlow is right, sometimes kudlow is wrong, i wouldn't jump out of the market right now. >> housing and consumer spending. >> housing is stable temperature it -- stable. larry said trade at about 16 times earnings currently. and on that basis the s&p 500 could be 1950, 1975 next year. s&p earnings are supposed to be 117 this year, gross 6%. if you believe what lee cooperman says, which is stocks are the best house in a good neighborhood currently, they're fair live priced. they're not cheap in relation to what they've been historically
and they're not over live expensive. >> so why is main street still suffering and why is wall street doing so well? >> when you look at the unemployment rate that has declin declined, it's mostly because people have left the workforce. there's only about 150,000 job being created monthly. >> the answer is simple. why has main street suffered and wall street done so well? because wages have not increased, and what hasn't gone into wages has gone into corporate profits. workers are simply not sharing in this prosperity. >> the wage point is exactly right. it's exactly right. and i think that's because of the slow growth in the economy and i think that's because of poor economic policies. but i want to make a point, wall street versus main street. no, won't buy it. 50% of the households in this country own stocks. when you talk about main street, union people, cops, fire,
teachers are all in pension funds and the pension funds are doing very well because the stock market has done very well. in queens your cop is making $120,000 a year, your school teach ser making $120,000 a year, they're putting some money into pension funds and that money is being matched and then some. those pension funds have gone up a lot since the bottom in 2009. >> teachers make $120,000 a year? >> how much? >> did you say they make $120,000 a year? >> in this city? absolutely. look at the recent de blasio settlement, it's going to be more than that. >> how much is the market in unrest in ukraine and overseas? >> they don't seem worried at all. the bond yield has gone down. but to steven's point, the stock market continues to go up. perhaps we are the cleanest dirty shirt in a bag of laundry. do i want to push back a little on what steven said, incomes
have not gone up, that is well founded, well known, accurate. but let's not forget corporations have paid out this huge gain in money to health care over the last 20 years. any corporation will say we have given our employees a raise, it just hasn't been in their paycheck, it's been in benefits. if the president's health care plan works and does as advertised, if we can bend that down, corporations will then transfer some of those savings to workers' actual paychecks. >> that's a fair point. but the balance of the evidence is workers have not had much pay increase. to larry's point, sure. >> has some direct interest in the stock but the vast preponderance of the gains in this stock rally have gone to the famous 1%. >> i just don't think the evidence supports that. i'm not making this stuff up. half of the households in this
country either directly or indirectly through pension funds or 401(k)s and what have you own shares. >> the most important issue is about job creation. if the republican party focusses on that single issue about job creation throughout the entire economy, especially in small business, that is the critical issue. way to stimulate the economy and benefit main street is through job creation. >> and that's the gop message inside the big tent. if they stick to their knitting on that, they're going to do very well. >> all they need is a policy now. >> we'll find it. at least we have focus. that's what we need. thinking like a child, thinking like a freak. >> larry kudlow, good to have you all here. and harry reid on the koch brothers when we come back.

>> he recalls that the white house wanted him to lie, mislead the public before he went on the that sound familiar? to discuss actually social security. so look at this. he's talking about dan pfeiffer's urging him to present the issue that it wasn't the reason for the deficit. he says, quote, i remember during one roosevelt room press session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pfeiffer wanted me to say social security didn't contribute to the deficit. it wasn't a main driver of our future deficits but it did contribute. pfeiffer says the law was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i never heard before. he had to explain that phrase was code for the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. >> oh man, this is big. a member of the administration admitting in their memoir that comes out today thatç the white house told them to go out and lie. as soon as this headline hit the fan, a close source to timothy geithner says timothy does not believe he
was encouraged to go out and mislead the public. really? so you're not supposed to believe the things that he wrote in his book. >> and quoted. >> look, he wrote the book. he remembered it so well, he threw in the stuff about the dog whip. >> anyone who has written the book understands there are many rounds of edits. you look at that a few times before it hits the press. >> weç watched timothy geithner through the most harrowing times in modern economic history trying to explain himself, his moves and some of the things he had nothing to do with and some of his exact policies. you have to wonder, he's one guy you could always look at and i think to myself someone has him scared to death, even when we were over the crisis, he gives that demeanor of someone who is scary. >> he's not a politician. >> right but he always looked like something terrible is about to happen. when it was said i need you
to show emotion, he was not comfortable. here is what he quoted in his book. she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was expected to express. i'm not very convincing as an angry populist. i'm not doingç this i said. instead i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed outrage. what was he talking about? expressing outrage that a lot of officers were getting bonuses in a time of crisis. >> he said america was furious about the overpaid bankers. stephanie cutter wanted us to show we were on the backside of the backlash but they had no legal authority to confiscate the bonuses paid during the boom. knowing the truth, yet pausing and saying i can't deliver this sort of upset. do you it, buddy. >> let us review what weç have learned today. tim geithner has written a book. what he has revealed is the white house told him to tell a lie when he went out
on the sunday morning chat shows. that sounds exactly what we learned about two and a half weeks ago that susan rice was told to go out there and spread that lie. the administration knew it wasn't a there and say it was a video even though we knew it was an act of terror. charles krauthammer, a doctor, says this administration has a problem. they lie too much. >> this white house has an arm's length relationship with the truth. you could argue that all administrations do. but here you get the idea that it's less than arm's length. it is actually a clearly manipulative relationship¿ with the truth that it is to be used or abused or inverted in order to, quote, send a message, to send a dog signal. everybody knows that social security is in deficit. the treasury makes it up. and, therefore, it contributes to the deficit. geithner knows that, and, therefore, he wasn't prepared to say an outright
lie, an obvious arithmetic lie. >> timothy geithner comes out and writes his book and now before the book is out 24 hours he is denying what's in it. we haven't gotten to theç point where glenn hubbard, a key romney economic advisor, told him he planned on raising taxes once he got into offices. he said of course i'm going to raise taxes. glenn hubbard came back and says i never said that. again, these are quotes. he didn't say i talked to him and then -- he gave us a paraphrase. he's quoting himself exactly. >> americans deserve the truth. and ultimately we were promised transparency from the president. this is 2008. >> i have a track record of transparency. i'll make our government open and transparent. we'll do it in a transparent way. i want transparency. i want accountability. so that the american people can be involved in their own government. let me say it as simply as i can.
transparency and the rule of law will be theç touchstones of this presidency. this is the most transparent administration in history. >> really? >> that's great to hear him say. unfortunately the facts don't seem to support that, mr. president. let's just take a look at a number of this administration's officials who have misled the public. we start with, of course, susan rice. she appeared on those sunday shows where she said that it was a video even though the administration knew that it was terrorism. hillary clinton as secretary of state referenced the video as the cause behind the benghazi attack. and we know that she spoke to the president at 10:00 that night. >> james clapper claimed there was noç program to collect information on american citizens; again something that we found out differently there. then the attorney general right here, we have this surveillance, the claim by the republicans. he said he knew nothing about it. the potential prosecution of the press. he didn't know. eric holder. >> then of course we have the president of the united states saying if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.
then later said i probably shouldn't have said that. it's hard to know what's going on. instead of a dog whistle just say things. say i want to tell the democratic base we are not going to touch social security. you don't need a dog whistle. just say that is what we're going to do. experts say of all the entitlements social security is the easiest to fix. we don't fix anything. we don't take care of entitlements and we certainly don't take care of social security. >> perhaps theyç have a different definition of transparency. >> you look at all this stuff, i think to this administration the truth is not important. getting reelected was. however, going forward, if i was like bob schieffer or chris wallace and ran a sunday morning talk show, i think i would want to have a lie detector on everybody who sat on the show from this administration. >> you should be personally offended if someone lies to you? >> as americans, we expect the truth from our government; right? shocking. >> if someone told you they remember told to lie and denies they wrote in the
book, i don't know where to start with that. that's why i'm turning over to heatherç nauert. >> she tells the truth. >> good morning, guys. serious news out of west virginia. it happened overnight. we start with a fox news alert. right now rescue teams are searching for two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in west virginia. it is not clear what caused that collapse but we know the last safety review in twitter of -- in 2013 of the boone county mines had reports concerning the miners safety and health. families are at the mine at this hour awaiting more information. another fox news alert. brand-new evidence of another scandal at yet another v.a. hospital. this time in durham, north carolina. two workers there were just placed on leave for improperly manipulatinh the scheduling data. that's what they're calling it right now. this comes amid troubling allegations that a v.a. hospital in phoenix where 40 veterans died while they
remember waiting for similar treatments. another incident was reported last week in wyoming. >> this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real. and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. >> there have been a lot of calls to the veterans administration secretary eric shinseki to step down but the white house continuing to stand by him. >> caught on camera, aç massive explosion blows the front off a house in new hampshire. this blast coming moments after a police officer was shot and killed while he responded to a domestic disturbance call at that house yesterday. police believe that the suspected gunman, 47-year-old michael nolan, may have been killed in that blast. nolan lived in that duplex with his father who was 86 years old. it is not known if he was home at that time. one other person was taken to the hospital with injuries. a bizarre story out of california. the radio legend casey

to have under obamacare, and that will be billions of dollars to the unions, a private organization. >> sure. the way you've depicted it, it sounds like it was a dumb rule to start with, but it isúhhnging in the balance by one vote and extraordinarily the one vote is a conservative who normally you would think would not be for this. >> it appears. we don't know what goes on inside the supreme court, but justice scalia appears to be torn on this one because the fact is that he believes strongly in states rights and he wants to give the states the rights to make these decisions as opposed to have a broad decision. in this case a conservative justice may be the union's best friend. >> let's see what they do over there on capitol hill at the u.s. supremeç court. mallory factor, always a pleasure to be with you. thank you, sir. thanks for coming up from charles top. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, the devil tried making it to harvard but

welcome back. time for quick headlines for you. the sudden death of a north carolina democratic candidate rocking the community there. keith crisco, a congressional candidate died after a fall inside his home. the 71-year-old had been locked up in a too close to call primary battle with former american idol star clay aiken. this is the biggest discovery since 1492. one exploreer he found christopher columbus's long lost ship the santa maria. the ship wrecked more than 500 years ago off the coast of haiti. brian was just talking about that. you're a prophet. >> meanwhile, leading a team to success on and off the football field is about more thanç x's and o's. >> you're down 20-0. you come back from that, now you're talking about something. >> 1:03 to go. >> you think football builds character. it does not.
>> he's going to throw it. he holds it. >> football reveals character. >> joining us is the man behind that oscar winning documentary "undefeated" author of the book called"against the grain: a coach's wisdom on character, faith, family and love," bill courtney. how have you taken what you've done on the footbpl field to a different school and how did it help you build your business? >> the 30,000 foot view is this. we can be inclusive and forward-thinking and open minded without abandoning the core principles that got us here in the first place, and those core principles that built that football team are the same principles that built my family and built my business. >> and you've had success all around. let's break it down as best we can and people get the book and find out more. what do you think of hard work? >> i think we have developed this entitlement mentality in a lot of different places and not just in the entitlement
among those disadvantaged among us, but there's an entitlement among the wealthy, an entitlement among the affluent. this entitlement that these kids learn strips them ofç the dignity they get from a hard day's labor. >> if you don't have money, it's somebody's fault. if you have a lot of money, i don't need to do that? >> i think they're equally disturbing because of the lesson it teaches our kids and because it takes away the dignity you get from looking in the mirror at the end of the day and saying i earned that. we've got to get back to teaching the importance of that dignity in our lives. >> take pride in what you do. search for civility. it's easy to have civility when you're up 20-0 or about to win a championship. when you'reç down, how does that confer? >> how we treat those we opposed says more about us than even our own opinions do. we have to search for a civil attitude so that we can find commonality and
come together. frankly, business, sports, society, family but that may be the best for the folks in d.c. >> you also -- that's absolutely true, the nation's capital. you say grace appears in a forgiving heart. what do you mean by that? >> i mean that so much of what keeps us back can be our own anger, our own desire to get back at someone that wronged us. there's difference in a pardon and forgiveness. everybody has to answer for what they've done. but forgiveness is bestç for the forgiveer because you're allowed to get rid of all that angry feeling you have toward another person. we have to get back to being civil and being forgiving so we can move on and find commonality. >> because if you hold that grudge, you're wasting your time. you're wasting your energy. >> it's hurting you worse than the person you're not forgiving. >> we just scratched the
surface of some of the wisdom that led you to a very lucrative career. thanks so much for coming in today. great to see you. >> thanks. good to see you. >> straight ahead on this show, no loveç in this elevator. what caused beyonce's sister to flip out on the hip-hop mogul? we got that story. the i.r.s. says they need more money for taxpayers. maybe it's because they just spent $100 million on new furniture. stuart varney fuming about this one. sure he has $100 million in his office but he's doing varney. first happy birthday to darius rucker. he used to have blow fish with him. now he turns 48 all alone. ♪ ♪ what does that first spoonful taste like? ♪

offenders set free while waiting to be deported. the center for immigration studies looked at this and say the convicts were released last year and it slams the obama administration for freeing thousands of convicted criminals, some who were waiting the outcome of their cases. the immigration group says more than 36,000 convicted criminal aliens were turned loose in 2013. yesterday we told but this story and here's an update for you. good wins over evil on the campus of harvard university. a student group planned satanic mass was canceled followingç outrage from religious and educational leaders. members from the cultural studies club claimed they wanted to move the mass but couldn't find a new location. christian students say they're glad it was called off and still can't believe the college would allow this in the first place. listen. >> i'm just ashamed that in an environment that's otherwise committed to intellectual freedom but also to civility would be
allowing such a hateful event to happen. >> the group claims that the mass was a historic reenactment and that it was meant to be educational. okay. beyonce and jay z all smiles sitting court side tenets game last night -- at the nets game last night hours after video wasç released showing solange attacking jay z in an he elevator. you can see her as she punches and kicks jay z as a bodyguard tries to hold her back from him. at the end of the clip beyonce pulls her away. this went on for three and a half minutes. the celebrities haven't spoken out yet but the standard hotel where this happened blasted the person who released this video saying they're shocked and disappointed. it is a clear breach of our security system. there were a lot of fists flying in that elevator. somebody very upset about something. >> stuart, can you tell us what happened with thatç
video? >> no, i cannot. >> fine. thanks for coming by. >> let's talk about this. there is another nightmare at the i.r.s. a new report shows the aiming is i spent nearly $100 million on office furniture over the last five years. >> the i.r.s. is asking for even more of your money for its budget next year. stuart varney, what do you think about that and how is that possible they can be asking for more money by throwing it out on furniture. >> $100 million for office furniture since 2010 does sound a little obsessive. >> everybody's already got chairs. >> maybe taxpayers are a little hard on the furniture when they go to the eurps -- i.r.s. office but it is more thanç was spent on furniture during the entire eight years of the bush administration. this is another black eye for the i.r.s. this is an agency which gave $2.8 million in bonuses to people who have not paid their own taxes. this is the agency where
lois lerner is in contempt of congress. this is an agency that wants another $1 billion to police obamacare. this is the agency which brought in an extra $132 billion, the latest seven months of this year, $1.2 become is what they want extra. >> theç lack of funding has made it difficult to provide the service taxpayers deserve, a quote. >> government is not efficient. government does not work efficiently. bureaucrats create bureaucracies which work very inefficiently and spend money. they have a voracious appetite for money and spend it on things like $100 million for office furniture. >> jack lew said they need $100 million to crack down on conservatives. he didn't say that. i'm adding.
right now the federal government hats seen so much money come in, they've got more money than they know what to do with. actually they'll spend it. nobody is talking about that. >> in the lastç seven months the i.r.s. brought in an extra $132 billion compared to last year. the taxpayer clearly doing their part to get that deficit down. the i.r.s. spending it on stuff like $100 million worth of furniture. there is a link between the two. >> that is not responsible. certainly why in that harvard poll you saw young people saying they lost faith in government agencies. stuart varney we will be watching you at 11 a.m. probably more on this? >> i shall check on that. >> thanks for being with us. >> still ahead a texas gun dealer under fire for this sign, but he's got a messagehfor his critics and that's coming up next. >> our military considering the first chaplain who doesn't believe in religion or god. do we really need someone to represent atheists? judge napolitano surely is

department of defense is considering this. they have more things to do than to figure out how to provide a chaplain for an atheist. a chaplain is provided for major and minor religions for people who believe in god and who need religious services because their heart and morality tells them so or the religion to which they belong requires it. atheism isç not a religion. it doesn't fit within any of the definitions for federal statutes or for circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. >> this is about the 14th amendment then. how does that play in? >> the atheist group argued a clause in the amendment called the equal protection clause which says the government has to treat similar people in a similar way somehow forces the defense department to provide chaplains for atheists. the 14th amendment regulates states, not the federal government.
and the part of the constitution that talks about rights the federal government has to recognize has exceptions in there for the military. understanding, as the framers did, that when you join the military, youç give up certain rights. >> we've seen those reins loosened. is this a trend? >> we've seen the reins loosened. there are circumstances under which you can have beards. there are circumstances under which you can have long hair. there are circumstances under which you can have tattoos. but the concept of a chaplain for an atheist, if someone needs counsels, it's there. if someone needs a support group, it's there. i don't know what this chaplain would preach since atheists don't believe in god. >> is this an attempt to remove a chaplain of a religious group that is larger? >> i think it isç an attempt to make the military seem more soft and cushy. i think in ten years we'll be laughing at this.
>> right now it is just under 4% of those that identify as such. if that grows indeed, will they be forced in a way to have a chaplain? >> no. the congress would have to change the laws in order for the atheists in the military to force the military to provide them with chaplains. >> this meeting today is not going to put forth -- >> this meeting today is really an effort by the brass of the military, the civilian brass of the military, secretary hagel and his people, to keep the lid on complaints. i don't think theç complaints are loud and i don't think they're going to come long and i don't even think they're serious but i think he wants to nip them in the bud by talking to these people. it doesn't hurt to talk but it would be absurd to have the federal government spend money to have people preach about atheism. >> interesting perspective. coming up, meet the mayor, brian says.

forget everything you heard about fatty foods. can butter, cheese and heavy meats actually be good for you? our next guest says yes and that's why she's here. >> that's right. she spent near low decades studying the positive effects of
fatty foods and details it in "the big fat surprise." she joins us now with such great news. so please explain, this is great. we have some comparisons here. why is that good for you? we keep hearing it's not. >> we've been living for 50 years with the low fat diet and the problem is that when you reduce fat, you increase carbohydrates. we eat 25% more than we did in the early 1970s. your body needs fat to be healthy. and the main thing we've been told is that saturated fats are bad for you, that saturated fats and meat and butter and cheese are bad for you. but that all goes back to one scientist in the 1950s who thought fats caused heart disease -- >> one scientist? >> it was one scientist. in the face of the nation's fear of heart disease, he came up with the idea that it was saturated fats that caused heart disease. he got that idea implanted into
the american heart association and the rest is history. >> let's fast forward to today. as people think about what they should eat, should they have the bagel or bacon and eggs? according to the conventional wisdom, you don't want all the cholesterol and fat in the eggs and bacon. >> right. so this idea became so ingrained that we just feel like it's common sense. how could that possibly be good for you? and the reality is that that contains saturated fat, yes. but the evidence against saturated fat has really dissipated, disappeared, and it is no longer -- >> so we choose the egg? >> you choose the egg. >> and the bacon? >> over the bagel? >> over the bagel, which is empty carbohydrates. >> brian will kick the bagel out. >> here you go. >> you can give it away. >> what about at lunchtime? if you had the choice between a green salad or egg salad, conventional wisdom says go with the green salad. >> but you should go with the egg salad even though it's high in cholesterol, the cholesterol in egg does not translate into cholesterol in your blood.
that has been known since the 1970s. >> so it's good for you without the bad effects that everybody thinks it has? >> it's good for you. eggs also contain a loft nutrients -- lot of nutrients. so eggs are really nutrient dense and really good food. >> a lot of people eat the egg white. >> all the nutrients are in the yoke. they're missing it. >> the questions are getting hard. carrots, pita versus heavy meats and cheese. >> this is the most counter enduretive. everyone would choose hummus. bread is high in carbs and carrots and pita. carbohydrates in your blood become glucose, which triggers insulin, which is the king of all hormones in storing fat. zero in that up with. will and also a lot of nutrients. >> right.
down here at this end we've got butter and steak and sausage spatties versus the low fat yogurt. you say steak wins by a mile. steak and butter. >> steak is really rich in nutrients. it has good fats, the same is true of butter. what happens with low fat products is when you take the fat out, you have to put something in to replace all the texture -- >> they put sugar in. >> they're putting carbohydratessed based, almost always sugars. a serving of this is like having a snicker's bar worth of sugar. >> wow. >> is there a limit to the amount of fats? i'm thinking what are the guideline when is having this type of fatty food? >> leave the butter. take the yogurt. >> is there a limit in a day? could you have all of this? >> you could have all of this in a day. the best, most rigorous scientific trials over the last decade show that a higher fat diet is healthier than a low fat diet in terms of your diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, hands down.
definitively that's been shown. >> should you be worried about cholesterol if you're not doing the low fat and suddenly you're eat ago lot of cholesterol? >> again, the cholesterol in food does not translate into cholesterol in your bloodstream. >> i like that. >> good news for everybody out there. >> so fatten up, america. we showed you how. >> we're getting a bunch of thank you tweets and e-mails. >> that's the good news. it's just that you don't have to feel guilty about eating those foods. >> thank you very much. real pleasure. >> thank you. >> coming up straight ahead. >> another day and another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation's heros. where is the president on this one? didn't he promise to fix that problem? >> then just call this a royal hoax. >> who is this guy? >> we had a bunch of different dairies. >> one was an actor. one was an athlete and the other one was prince harry.

need to, they lie to us. that guy right there, former secretary of the treasurer, tim geithner. says in a new memoir that comes out today that he essentially was told by the white house to go out there on tv on the sunday chat shows -- sounds familiar -- and lie. here is a quote, it says i remember one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows. i objected when dan pheiffer, communications director, wanted me to say social security didn't contribute to the deficit. it wasn't a main driver of our future deficits. but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left. phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain what the phrase was. it was code to the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. so there you got dan pheiffer saying okay, tim, go out there and lie on tv. >> right. a source close to geithner actually said he doesn't believe that he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public, even though he's writing about it in this book on multiple occasions.
going to 2009 that he indicates that stephanie cutter, a democratic strategist and in charge of communications messaging, he tells a story there of how she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was supposed to express. i'm not very convincing as an angry populous and i thought it would look ridiculous. i'm not doing this, i said, and i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed the outrage. there he's referring to americans being furious over the fact that bailouts were -- >> that was the president doing the fake outrage. >> the president said how outraged he was when ce oh,s were getting bonuses after the bailout. everybody is -- it's unbelievable, he wrote the book and is walking back the quotes in the book that one time he
accused mitt romney of saying we're going to raise taxes if elected and he said i never said that. the book has been out a day and everything that's interesting in it, he denies is in it, even though he wrote it. how unbelievable is that? steven hayes weighed in. >> every administration from every political party engages in spin, but the entire point of spin to a certain extent is to avoid saying something that is outright false. but we've seen the administration say this, whether it's you can keep your plan, when the white house had studies show people wouldn't be able to keep your plan, whether it was the benghazi talking points saying the white house didn't have any substantive rule, or the obama administration political team didn't have any sub santel role. we know those things were not true and if geithner is right in the way he recall this is in his book, this would be add to do that list. >> absolutely. when tim geithner writes, i believe that he remembers it that way, the fact that a source close to geithner now is
spinning it and they're trying to parce the words, it reminds me of, well, that depends on what your definition of is is. i'm surprised that jay carney yesterday, came out and said we didn't tell him to lie. i'm surprised he didn't say dude, that's so six years ago. >> you remember everything because there is quotes around it. >> what difference does it make anyway? this is not the first book that's come out indicating there is a lack of transparency in this administration. bob gates' book indicated the same thing with i believe wording when it came to an opaque administration, their control over messaging. >> he said -- in all the administrations he worked in, prior to nixon, he says it's the most controlled centralized messaging that he's -- administration he's ever been a part of. >> the editor of the "new york times" says the same thing. so when we see the geithner information on top of the ben rhodes e-mail that they tried to get susan rice and she willingly
went along and lied on sunday chat shows, it's disappointing. meanwhile, are they lying about what's going on at the v.a.? there is more trouble at the v.a., disarray at the v.a. two employees in durham, north carolina, have been placed on administrative leave because apparently they, too, falsified records between the years of 2009 and 2012. they're now audited. >> phantom appointments that didn't exist, possibly for the same thing, to get incentives, to act as if they're efficient when they're not and the actual veterans are paying the price by not getting care. >> and trying to look good at the front office here, they're making them wait months and months, possibly leading to the deaths of many. anything over 14 days is required to be put in writing. we're seeing all these falsified records there. when you see jay carney, though, really indicating that the president still has such confidence in general shinseki, who is at the head of the ship
here, it makes everyone sort of raise a brow. >> the president remains confident that secretary shinseki is focused on this matter and he's confident in secretary shinseki's ability to lead the department and take appropriate action based on the findings. >> okay. so we're going to have to wait 'til the i.g. comes out. it's a mess right now. we know that. they had two sets of books and it was just to make them all look good. i was looking in the arizona republic newspaper this morning. there is an item that says that in phoenix, i want to say he's 87 years old. 87-year-old vet who is alive to this day, he was waiting for the v.a. to call him back for his hospital appointment, so he called 911. the only reason he's alive is because the locals came and picked him up. the republican congressman from the great state of illinois, he's in the national guard. he was an iraq war vet. he is horrified by the way that the v.a. is treating our american heros.
>> this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. look, not only do people need to be suspended, not only do they need to be fired, we need to talk about who needs to end up in jail over this. >> that's real outrage there. that should be coming from the white house, should be coming from jay carney when our veteran s who risk their lives come back, only to die in some secret waiting list. no faux rage from convincinger there. we hope to see real solutions moving forward. >> we need whistle blowers to come forward and talk about what's really going on or else everyone seems to be covering their butts and hope their name doesn't get called. meanwhile, heather nauert, tell us what else is happening. >> good morning. big news out of west virginia. a lot of folks want to hear about it. fox news alert, right now there are rescue teams searching for at least two trapped miners after an underground coal mine

citizenship shoney becoming a battle ground over religious freedom. >> the democratic mayor of new jersey pulling the plug on the federal naturalization function when the government told the city they couldn't allow an opening prayer at the event, even though it's been a town tradition since it was founded. >> that's right. the mayor joining us this morning. so this is actually a strong stand that you took here when you were asked six months ago. what happened? >> about six months ago, the federal government, immigration
naturalization services asked if we would host a swearing in ceremony and we were thrilled. this is a densely populated community, but a melting pot. we have a lot of new immigrants, always have. we thought it would be a nice opportunity to really host this swearing in and highlight the diversity in the town. >> sure. and things were going along great until? >> things were going fantastic. we had exchanged the agenda and the program. all of a sudden this past tuesday, we get a call and e-mail from immigration. they said you have to remove prayer and the moment of silence from the agenda. they said it cannot be part of any federal program. >> did you think we were joking? >> yeah, there was some communication back and forth. i said this doesn't make sense, especially in light of the recent supreme court ruling. we shot back, no, it's going to be part of it. they said it cannot be on the agenda and part of the program. i said take your ceremony somewhere else. >> and they did? >> and they did. carteret is a very diverse community. lots of brick and mortar
religions. we've always respected one another and respected everyone's faith. >> and in the town square, you got a christmas tree. >> we do. >> there is a public menorah. >> we do a menorah lighting in front of city hall and a christmas tree lighting at our main park. >> you open ceremonies with a prayer. >> we certainly do. from our veterans day services, memorial day services, any public event, even our council meetings open up with a moment of silent prayer. >> so this is important to you. it's important to carteret. why? >> it's certainly important to our community because it's faith based community. it's infringement upon our first amendment rights to have a prayer. >> did you have any interaction with the immigrants, new immigrants? >> we did not. i'm told from the feds there would have been a few from carteret. >> what was the general reaction? >> the reaction from the feds was that they would simply move the meeting if we wouldn't allow it to be hosted. the residents overwhelmingly support the idea of letting them go somewhere else. this is a god fearing community. >> so they moved it to the
federal building in newark, 20 miles or so away. wasn't int. it's clear what they missed. they didn't start with the prayer as you would have liked. why do you think they do this? >> we raised that and they took the position that even in light of the supreme court decision, that it doesn't apply to federal agencies. they said they don't want to offend anybody. i don't understand. if you didn't want to participate in the prayer, you can sit there quietly or stand quietly. >> i don't get that. the house of representatives opens with a chaplain reading a prayer. >> ironically, the oath that they take to become a citizen acknowledges god and they recite the pledge of allegiance. >> what about critics who say you lost out on an opportunity here? what do you say? >> that's find. we're happy to have them go somewhere else. >> thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> good for you. 18 minutes after the hour. up next on this show, a marine back from afghanistan for two weeks to escort his little sister to the prom. the school says no way.

while lashing out at the other driver. and the video everyone is talking about. beyonce's sister punching and kicking brother-in-law jay-z in an elevator as a body guard holds her back. the celebrities have not responded. the standard hotel in new york city blasted whoever leaked that video, saying, quote, shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system. timoney geithner denied that quote. steve? >> all right. same drug, same company, now a different dying boy being denied the compassionate use that could save his life. fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. has this story. >> i think all americans need to hear this this morning. 21 month old boy with leukemia at john hopkins center is the latest child begging for a life saving drug from the same company which refused to provide it in the past. you may remember the drug company from the case of josh hearty covered here on fox which repeatedly refused to provide
that dying boy with a drug and that's been shown to treat the virus which can be deadly. the company received $70 million in federal money to develop the drug. they finally relented and gave josh the drug under a new pilot program. josh is out of the hospital today and his mother says he's growing stronger every day. the company's stock rose after the controversy, and said a compassionate use company to help people who can benefit from the drug was too expensive. now they initially refused to provide again compassionate use or a spot in the national trial to baby judson of lockwood, new york, who is suffering from the virus and is currently on a ventilator at johns hopkins. tammy shepherd's grandmother spoke to me from the icu last night and told me the baby has been battling leukemia since he was six months old. he said he's touch and go.
this drug is his only hope and said a team of doctors and nurses were rushing to his bedside as we spoke. judson's family originally told he could not receive treatment at johns hopkins because it was not part of the trial. now after our calls to the company, they may be changing their mind. about an hour ago, i just received this statement from the company. there are currently ten clinical sites partnering in the trial across the u.s. all of which have agreed to accept pediatric and adult patients transferred to these locations. from our ongoing communications with this young patient's physicians and administrators at johns hopkins over the last several days, we believe he may be eligible to participate in the trial. we submitted an additional list of questions last night which the company has so far refused to answer. >> that's quite a story. so for folks watching, we had this other case, josh hardy, a while back and you helped him
get the drugs that saved his life through that company. >> same company and same drug. >> and the same circumstances. compassionate use. so now suddenly after you called, they go, oh, maybe we could -- it seems to me that there ought to be a better system other than the threat of dragging a company on to television to these people the drugs they need. >> i think that's why we're talk being it. this is an inherently unfair process. one at the drug company level. two at the f.d.a. people should not be having to call me at 8:00 o'clock at night to say, my grandson is dying and this drug company will not act. and they've done this same routine in the very, very past. there is an inherent instability, a confusion, a lack of reliability in terms of getting the drugs that we need. this one particular company, they decided, we don't want to spend money on a compassionate use program. and after days of discussion
here on fox and on social media, they said oh, we're going to set up a pilot program. but they would not let this boy and they still have not let this boy, judson, from lockwood, new york, 21 months old, dying of leukemia and this virus into this program. they say we may let him into this program after we called last night. people should not have to be put to those kind of steps to call up legal correspondents on television to get their children the medications that are available and should be available under compassionate use. >> it's crazy that they would -- this boy is adorable. >> he is. >> it's crazy that the company would say, we don't have the money for those programs. they have $70 million worth of federal dollars, right? >> they got $70 million. do they have a corporate obligation? no. do they have a moral obligation as an american company? yes. if you're interested in this issue, you can go to www.foxandfriends.com, the family asked we put up a petition asking the company to
provide the life saving drug for this little boy, judson. this is an incredible story. we're going to talk more about the f.d.a. and companies like this and how and why you should get the drugs that you and your family need. >> i'm glad you brought this to our attention. peter johnson, jr., america's lawyer. >> thank you. straight ahead, are you a recent college graduate or about to get your degree? good news, more than half the employers want to hire you. cheryl casone with the companies you need to apply to. she's already got a job, by the way. but first on this date in 1607, jamestown, virginia verge was settled as colony of england. in 1999, rickey martin had this song that we were all living to.

good morning. it's tuesday, may 13. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. breaking at this hour, a mine collapse in west virginia turning deadly. we have the developing details on that straight ahead. then the white house told him to go out and lie on tv. that's a claim in timothy geithner's new memoir. now the former treasury secretary says he doesn't even believe his own book. great. laura ingraham is going to help us dissect the web of lies. >> that could hurt sales. he's got one of the most famous voices in america. >> thank you and hello again, everybody. welcome to america's top ten. >> this morning casey kasem is nowhere to be found. the latest in the search for the ailing radio star.
according to most reports, tuesdays and every day are better with friends. >> this is tommy lasorda. you are watching "fox & friends." >> wow. what a show. >> thanks, tommy. long time friend of the program. doing a little voiceover work for us. >> right. he gets paid well for that. handsomely. he insists on it. >> it's the dirty little secret. every time we have someone famous, we say before you go, would you mind saying it? and we have a million of those. >> you both are recognizing them off the bat than i am. >> the part where he said, i'm tommy lasorda -- >> that should have clued me right in. >> right. you will have to jerome bettis. >> no, i'm not. >> i just saw him in the green room and governor pence. laura ingraham in just a second. >> but not quiet.
you know what's crazy about jerome -- >> the last time we met, 'cause my husband gets to spend some time with him at work. we met at the super bowl with the steelers. >> oh, yeah. he was actually playing? >> yeah. at the time, i was a serious seahawk fan, so it didn't go well. >> because your brother-in-law was on the other team. >> two minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert has breaking news. >> yeah. we've been following this story through the night and into the morning. we have an update. moments ago, i got off the phone with the state police and they have confirmed to fox news that two coal miners died after an underground mine collapse in boon county, west virginia. that's in western part of the state. this collapse happening about 10:30 p.m. last night. it's not clear what caused that collapse. the latest safety review in 2013 discovered 250 violations concerning miners' safety and
health. we can confirm two dead. we'll bring you the latest as we get it. his iconic voice heard on the air for decades and decades. >> thank you and hello again, everybody. welcome to america's top ten. >> but this morning, casey kasem's children say he's now missing. a judge now ordering an investigation into the radio legend's disappearance. he also appointed kasem's daughter as his temporary conservator. >> my dad was snatched out of the facility he was staying at. >> jean is their stepmother and this is the part of a long-running battle between his children and their stepmom. they're fighting over access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson's disease and we're told can no longer speak. it's believed he might be at an indian reservation in washington state. we'll keep watching that story. hundreds of people could now be at risk after a second case of the deadly mers virus is discovered in the united states. a man visiting florida is now
being treated for the respiratory illness. this case and the first one which was identified recently in indiana are connected to saudi arabia. that's where the virus originated. doctors say neither case is considered severe, but they're warning an estimated 500 people who are on flights with these two patients to get checked out. and then there is an atheist group that's demanding an atheist chaplain in the military. the military association of atheists claims more atheists are enlisting in the military, so they need somewhere to go for support. now the department of defense is considering a change. is this political correctness gone too far? judge andrew napolitano weighed in earlier today. >> atheism is not a religion. it doesn't sit within any of the definitions of federal statutes of circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. >> the military association of atheists, there is such a
group -- is meeting with the defense department to talk about appointing a president for that position. and those are your headlines. one story we're following is that west virginia mine collapse, we'll keep you posted as we learn more. >> thanks for doing the work on the phone. meanwhile, your e-mail and tweets have been pouring in. this is what you have to say about that atheist chaplain. timothy writes chaplains in the military are officers and required to possess a theology. what degree would an atheist chaplain be required to have? >> bill says any member of the military can meet with any chaplain at pretty much any time. the judge is right. this is more time wasting insanity. >> go back to your seat and don't say a hail mary. and wr jones tweet, what's next? a car dealer who sells bus tickets? thanks for all of your responses. we appreciate it.
laura ingraham joins us. you will not have to weigh in on the atheist story. >> unless you will to. >> guys, look, it doesn't surprise me at all. christians, faithful christians found themselves in the crosshairs in our military, in our culture. we saw what transpired last night at harvard. at the last minute, of course, power to the faithful, the thing was moved. the heretical was moved off campus. that's the last group that you can attack, demean, denigrate, discriminate against with impunity. i think christians and people of faith are starting to stand up and say no, you won't. we have rights, too. i'm glad about that. friends of mine were at the protest last night at harvard. they were sending me photos of the mass that took place in protest to venerate the host and communion. it was 2,000 people. so i think it has a boomerang effect. the faithful come out and say,
no, we will stand up for our religious rights. i think people across the country, whether you're jewish or christian or even muslim, you want to stand up for your religious rights, do so. we still have a country that's supposed to respect religious freedom and we need to all remember that and stand up for our rights. >> amen to that. >> so listen, laura ingraham, when you write your biography, make sure when you do your book tour you deny most of the quotes in it. that's the kind of stuff that treasury secretary is off to. listen to what he's quoted as saying in his own book. it is authorize the biography. he says, i remember during one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pheiffer wanted me to say social security did not contribute to the deficit, it wasn't a main driver of our future deficit, but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain to me what it hadn't, signaling that we intended to protect social security. >> a couple of things there, guys. number one, we now know that the
left considers its base a bunch of unruly canines, dog whistle blower. they look down at their base, number one. in these biographies, do you recognize a trend here? the author, or the subject of the biography always comes off in the best possible light. tim geithner, well, i objected to this and i thought this was bad. well, if this was actually going on in the white house, i don't deny it was, i think it probably was given what else they said about obamacare and the recovery and so forth. but didn't tim geithner as a public servant have a duty to actually resign at that point or go to the american people and say, you know something? i'm being asked to say things that are actually untrue and i'm not going to do it because i actually believe in ultimate truths and the truth is social security is a driver of our debt and we're in real trouble when it comes to funding social security. but instead what he does is he
stays in office, stays in the cabinet. then he allows this book to be written and he comes out with this book and we're supposed to say oh, tim guy geithner, you're really a stand up guy. i think these people whose salaries we pay have a duty to the people, not to dan pheiffer or the president of the united states. their duty is to the taxpayers who pay their salaries and tim geithner on this issue should have actually come forward and said something at the time. >> sure. you know what? by that statement, susan rice, who was told just exactly the same way. she was told go out there and say it was the video. he was told go out there and lie on tv. they were both told to lie on tv. by that measure, susan rice should say, laura ingraham has got a good point. >> would you do it? if someone said to me, i want you to go out there -- this isn't really true, but we want to tamp down this benghazi deal. yeah, it's going to look bad for us and our base. they're going to get pavlovian
on us. i would say you better find someone else to do this dirty work. >> we have a conscience, right? >> right. >> you have to have a conscience to be able to do that. >> right. this is why americans in both parties have ultimate cynicism when it comes to washington. they don't believe republicans. they don't believe democrats. there are so few people who seem to have honor in our government, on capitol hill, and in the executive branch that it's a rarity when we have someone say i'm not going to do this. i don't agree with everything they're saying, but they're actually telling me to say something that is untrue and i can't do that. i think i would stand up and applaud if any individual did that today. >> while we have you fired up, i want to ask you about immigration and customs enforcement releasing 36,000 convicted criminals awaiting deportation convictions, drunk driving, be a straighted sexual assault, homicide here, your thoughts? >> the president is set to
announce a policy that will relax deportation and clarify deportation rules in the united states. we have people who committed dui and then went on to rape children. you have to google it and you'll see all these examples of why illegal immigration is not a, quote, victimless crime. we hear about the dreamers. dreamers are all valedictorians, okay, fine. what about the people who are 27-year-olds raping three-year-olds after being convicted of a dui? i think republicans and democrats should stand up for the people of this country who are often victims of these crimes. >> it shows what a great risk it is for the president to do this because if that does happen, we hope it doesn't, you know exactly where all fingers will point. >> you'll talk about that on your radio show in about 50 minutes from right now all across the country. thank you very much. >> thanks, guys. coming up, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation's heros. where exactly is the president
on this? didn't he promise to fix that problem? then if you oppose common core, you're probably a far right extremist trying to destroy public schools. huh? that's what was said by one group. indiana governor mike pence just got rid of the curriculum and joins us live to weigh in. answer the governor, who is your governor. >> i like that. ♪ ♪ help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. with soft meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture,it's dental that tastes so good. beneful healthy smile food and snacks.

right. well, they're wrong. the state of indiana was the first state to drop the common core and joining us right now is the man who made that happen. the governor of the great state of indiana, mike pence, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what do you think about that criticism? >> it's just unfortunate. the reality is throughout my public career, like i think most americans, i've always believed that education is a state and local function and the federal department of education was created by president jimmy carter. while 45 states just a few years back adopted the national standards known as the common core, we've got millions of americans that have been rising up and being heard, including in indiana and saying look, we want to right our standards and write our curriculum and choose our textbooks in our own state. i'm proud of the fact that indiana was the first state in the union to legally withdraw from common core and go through the process of writing our own standards. >> what is it about common core you don't like?
>> well, at the core of it, if you will, is my objection to the notion that the standards that are written for hoosier kids and hoosier schools were crafted somewhere other than indiana. look, part of the genius of the american experiment is that the states throughout our nation's history have been laboratories of innovation and been able to style policies like we have in indiana that deal with the unique populations and unique challenges. there are some things obviously, kids in first grade need to know certain levels of math and we have a gateway exam for kids to be able to learn to read before they can go on. so there are some things that are, in fact, a minimum standard. but i wanted standards in indiana to be written by hoosiers for hoosiers and to be uncommonly high and we went through the process and accomplished that on our own.
>> good for you. you're the first state to do it. as governor, i want to get your reaction to this, since 2011, governors of states who are democrats have enacted over $58 billion worth of tax increases. meanwhile, as you can see screen right, $36 billion of cuts to taxes by republicans. >> i think we've heard that before. >> it sounds like one party wants to raise your taxes and the other party wants to lower them. >> it explains why in 29 states led by republican governors, you're seeing the kind of growth that we're seeing. i'm proud that indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest. we've been able to pass balanced budgets, have strong reserves, invest increased funding in roads and schools and education innovation. but since i was elected governor, we've also passed some $650 million in annual tax relief. and all of that creates an environment where we're seeing
real growth in indiana. we got one of the fastest growing labor forces in the country, unemployment is on the downward trend and more hoosiers are going back to work. i think the american people can see a real contrast here between republican-led states and states led by democrat governors that are more inclined than ever it seems to raise taxes and grow government. >> that's one of the reasons you're in new york city. you're talking to different businesses with relocating to your state, which would be great for your state. >> when i'm in new york, we love to tell new yorkers, if you can make it here, you can make a lot more in indiana. >> i like that. that's catchy. what about your future? i know you were elected governor in 2013? >> 2012. took office in 2013. >> that's exactly right. so what's next for mike pence? are you thinking of another run for governor? are you thinking maybe something in washington, d.c. over on pennsylvania? >> steve, i have to tell you,
having been elected governor of the state that i love is the greatest honor of my life. it's consumed all of our attention and while i've read recently some people have talked about me and other things, i'm going to stay completely focused on the future of the people of indiana because this is an extraordinary time in the life of our state. i just have to tell you. look at indiana where we have balanced budgets, we're a right to work state, we're lowering taxes even while we're investing in infrastructure and education innovation. it's one of the reasons we had the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest, fastest growing work force. >> that's why he's the governor! he knows the story. >> indiana is on the move. i'll stay focused on the future of the state of indiana. let my future take care of itself. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> good luck to you. it's now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. switching gears, coming up, no tackle football here. 7th graders forced to play flag football over safety concerns. is this just the woosification

let's go outside to the bus stop. >> as you know, elisabeth, jerome bettis is one of our great friends. he's going to talk about asthma and allergies. first things first. in football, the draft is over. let's talk about the future of the game. talk about head injuries and health. in 7th graders in texas, east texas, the whole school district says this is too rough. i don't want kids getting hurt. no more tackle. they're playing flag. >> in texas. >> the state that covets football. you have to understand the concern is that real. i understand that. i grew up playing flag football. i didn't play tackle football until high school. ninth grade. so i understand that you can still have a successful nfl career playing flag football. but more importantly than that, it's the concern i think with parents about their children.
children have long-term issues dealing with concussions. >> the demand for the sport is still there. you have over 100 million people watching the super bowl. something you're familiar with. even though it pained me at the time, i love you and so happy for the steelers now. but you have people wanting to watch the sport and parents who love the sport and kids want to play the sport. but we want to keep them safe. shouldn't we be working on ways to keep them safe, better means of tackling, better methods, so they don't get concussions? >> lieutenantly. i think that's what's happening now. you see the big push, especially with the nfl, in terms of educating the coaches. teaching the coaches the proper way to show kids how to tackle and teach kids how to tackle and play the game. i think that's the natural progression of how this is going to work. now you have to go back to education because that's the key in this process. educate the parents, the coaches on what they need to do and i think that's how it starts. >> there is something else you want to educate everyone on and that has to do with saving
lives. we're talking about concussions and long-term, but also allergies. you have an allergy. >> i have a shell fish allergy. it's life-threatening. a lot of people don't understand what anaphylaxis is. it's an allergic reaction. if you have an allergic reaction that is so much that it could be life-threatening. so that's why there is a new device that's available. >> hold it up. >> it's an auto injector that has audio and visual cues. when you pull it out of the sleeve, it talks to you. >> it does. i actually -- we witnessed our friends using this on one of their kids, saved their life. it's automatic. it tells you what to do. true life saver. >> it is. you can get more information on their web site. we've got a new program that is called what's your hey q. trying to educate, get people
educated about anaphylaxis. >> the thing is, in certain passing situations, they pull you out. i want to make it known on our team, you're always in the game. as we talk to steve, could i send you into motion or could elisabeth send knew motion -- send you into motion? >> absolutely. >> jerome bettis will break tackles all the way through broadway. do not try to tackle him. he does not go down easily. >> brian and elisabeth and jerome, thank you very much. coming up next on our show on this tuesday, no love in this elevator. beyonce's sister attacks her brother-in-law, jay-z. how did that video get out? who took the picture of the picture? now the hotel is responding. smack down. and is on line flirting

club said they wanted to move the mass, but couldn't find a new location. christian students say they were relieved it was called off, but still can't believe the college would allow this in the first place. listen here. >> as members of the university, i'm just ashamed that in an environment that's otherwise committed to intellectual free tom, but also to civility would be allowing such a hateful event to happen. >> the group claim the mass was a historic satanic reenactment and that it was meant to be educational. beyonce and jay-z all smiles sitting court side at the game last night hours after this explosive video surfaced that is getting a whole lot of attention this morning. take a look at this. it shows beyonce's sister attacking her brother-in-law in an elevator. the video lasts 3 1/2 minutes. take a look at this. kicks and punches and all kinds of stuff. this happened at a party last week in new york city. you can see as her sister punches and kicks jay-z while a
body guard tries to hold her back. at the end of the clip, beyonce actually pulls them away from one another. they haven't spoken out about this yet. but the standard hotel where this happened blasted the person who leaked the video saying it's, quote, shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system. and listen to this, is it the biggest discovery since 1492? one explorer is now saying that he has found christopher columbus' long lost ship, the santa maria. that ship apparently wrecked in a storm off the coast of haiti more than 500 years ago. researchers say they are confident that a full excavation will prove that it is the explorer's actual ship. pretty neat. and just call her a future obstetrician in training. an eight-year-old girl helps deliver her own baby brother. >> are you having contractions?
>> yes, very bad. >> i want you to place the palm of your hand -- >> it's coming out. the baby is out. >> oh, my. crystal snyder went into labor two weeks early. it happens. her daughter heard her screams and called 911. the dispatcher gave the instructions and six minutes later, a healthy baby boy was born. jasmine received a certificate from the hospital nurses for her bravery. how cute is that? look at that little girl. those are your headlines. an eight-year-old. well done. >> no kidding. >> see you later. >> i love that. 24 minutes before the top of the hour on this awfully busy tuesday. we've dispatched maria molina to the streets of new york city where it was a little breezy earlier. >> it's a little breezy out here. it's making it feel chillier. we're in the 60s. but you really need that jacket as you head out the door, at least throughout the morning hours due to the wind here across parts of the northeast. i want to take you farther west where we do have a storm system that's moving eastward and early this morning, it's producing areas of rain, from parts of
texas, up into illinois and there is a concern for some flash flooding. especially across eastern parts of texas and up into parts of arkansas due to the very heavy rain that's coming down. it's going to continue to come down with several inches of rain expected out there. not only today, but tomorrow. tomorrow, you have the risk for severe weather from parts of mississippi, up into ohio, cincinnati, nashville, memphis, jackson. heads up, you could be seeing that severe weather tomorrow, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. temperature wise, above average across the southeast. then 90s in parts of north carolina. cool hyped that storm system. only 50s for you in parts of colorado and new mexico. now let's head over to brian. >> thank you very much. infidelity, a french judge ruled using on line dating web sites while matter isn't only cheating, it's grounds for divorce? the case involves a couple married for 18 years. the wife caught flirting on the internet with a man she never met. but the judge granted the
breakup saying it was the sole fault of the wife who shared intimate photos of herself with a number of men. is this ruling fair or legal insanity? joining us now, dr. keith ablow and arthur aidala, a legal analyst. again, he says he went to school. we'll go on their judgment. >> i got diplomas. >> first off, do you agree with the french on this one? >> it's even easier in the united states of america. you don't even have to go that far. if one of the persons says it's irreconcilable differences that have been going on, the general rule of thumb is more than six months, that's grounds for divorce. it used to be you had to prove you haven't had sex in over a year, adultery, abuse. now it's just like nope, we haven't gotten along in over six months. >> if you're flirting on line, are you cheating? >> absolutely not. >> who raised you, young man! >> when did marriage become about only the romance? that's not a --
>> monogamy? >> taking care of kids, being financial partner, best friends. what 18-year married couple is sending naked photos of themselves to each other? hence, none. hence, it can't be part of the marriage. so how can it be grounds for divorce? >> how about we start the trend that the 15 year wedding anniversary you start sending naked photos to each other? i think that would be helpful. >> that's your friend, my trend. >> it's a good trend! >> there is flirting and then there is flirting. >> this judge said they were naked pictures. >> arthur, with your legal background, are naked pictures back and forth, maybe you're proud of your body. >> okay. it depends. if you're entering a body building contest, then she's proud of it -- what this judge looked at it, he didn't look at it from a fidelity point of view. >> a slippery slope. the bottom line is, look, we're not going to seed reality to technology that quickly in dr. ablow's office.
and couples -- if there is to be fault divorce, i think it should be no fault, this is not the fault. >> okay. thank you. we proved as a society is there is no fault. >> if you leave your spouse over cheating, you never loved the person. >> whoa! wow! hold on. don't let that go. if you leave your spouse over cheating it means you never loved them? >> i wasn't going to let it go. i was going to enhance the conversation. i was not going to leave it there. i can't let it go. this is all i got. one third of divorce litigation is caused by on line affairs. so you're saying that one third of those relationships are based on nothing? >> in my office, if couples come in and say, i'm leaving because she cheated, i say well, good. go. because you never loved her anyhow because if that physical breach is going to make you forget that she gets sick, you're not going to take her to the hospital because you never loved her --
>> listen to this, 46% of men consider their relationships to be infidelity. if you have a female client, you're more apt to have somebody who wants out. >> correct. >> my mother wanted to know, does dr. keith know about your situation? >> we have video. >> what he said is correct. a lot of divorce lawyers ask you before you get divorced, would you give your wife a kidney now if she needed it? you either say i'd give her the kidney or i'm getting divorced. >> bottom line is, i've been married lots of years. infidelity would not crush my marriage because my relationship is made up of more than the physical. >> do both parties feel that way
>> all right. dr. keith -- listen, just you two promise never to agree. >> we hardly ever do. coming up before i get yelled at, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our national heros. where is the president on this? didn't he promise to fix that problem? your e-mails and tweets are pouring in. then she sings the songs we all know and love. country star kellie pickler. she not only is a great singer, a great personality and she just waved to me. it's to me, right? ♪ ♪

well, another thing down there in durham, two employees have been placed on administrative leave because they, too, did this illegal selling thing. only two we know of obviously this thing is getting bigger and bigger. >> and the big question is, do they need a change at the top or do they need more aggressive management micromanaging down below? a lot of you are weighing in how to fix this and whose head should roll. >> diane said those responsible for mistreating our vets should be jailed. this behavior is disgraceful. >> terry on facebook writes, our government releases illegal immigrants accused of crimes ranging from d.u.i to murder, while imprisoning our veterans in a dysfunctional system. good point. famously, the v.a. hospital, people have talked for years about well, there is a lot of red tape and they got -- some of them lousy customer service. but outright corruption like this? that's shocking. >> yeah.

who in my opinion seems way out of his depth. i think that was proven yesterday. he said i'm going to continue, the president wants me there. >> this may be something where he is in over his head. >> people at the v.a. have known for years, they have had internal reviews in the past. they have known for years this is a problem. how many american heroes died waiting for treatment? we heard a lot of republicans yesterday, we heard a lot of democrats all outraged. let's start with the republican, he is from nevada, dean heller, asked point-blank, general shinseki, why shouldn't your head roll. >> would you explain to me after all this information why you should not resign? >> i tell you, senator, i came here to make things better for veterans. that was my appointment by the president. every day i start out with the intent and in fact provide as much care and benefits for the people i
went to war with and the people i spent a good portion of my life doing. this is not a job. i'm here to accomplish a mission that i think they critically deserve and need. >> but it's not happening. it's not happening. so you would think that maybe he thought he should probably get out of there. this is going to be so interesting for me. it's going to be the first time that i can remember over the last six years that democrats and republicans are going to legitimately pursue an investigation on the same page. and if they both do that, let's see if they actually get answers. >> i think you and charles krauthammer on the same page with that one. williams said we should keep an eye out for real rage or faux rage. it would be unbelievable to think anybody wouldn't want to side on this side of the line to protect our veterans. the v.a. shouldn't be a death sentence for those who have laid down their life and been willing to sacrifice at all for us.
this is juan williams saying take a good look. >> what democrats are doing is making sure it's clear to the american public that they are outraged by this, they are supportive to our military. shinseki himself, i think, has the credentials as a four-star general, former war hero. i think that is their efforts to prevent any kind of political damage going forward. >> it would be hard for either political party to support what is going on. you were talking about not only a coverup -- they have known for years about these fake lists -- document destruction, corruption and ultimately death. we heard about the 40 deaths in arizona, but apparently there is another report, 23 vets died waiting for simple cancer screenings. this goes back four years, 13 stilts in nine different states -- 13 facilities in nine different states.
it is across the country. and for people who say it's not a big scandal, you just aren't paying attention. not only is it a big substantial, it is at the very heart of what we're supposed to provide for our veterans. >> the ranks of veterans waiting for more than a year for their benefits was at 11,000 in 2009. thought that was bad? it is now up to 245,000 waiting for benefits as of december of 2013. >> by the v.a.'s own admission, it is less than 42% of the veterans who fit in that under 14-day waiting period to get treated to maintain health but be treated for something that ultimately could kill them. most americans in this fox news poll think this administration's skapblgs skapblgs -- scandals are a big deal. 37% of those polled think the president's handling of benghazi is a serious matter. >> when you look at the
n.s.a. scandal, 53% of you think it is a serious matter. 52% for benghazi and the i.r.s. scandal is 44%. i think it is curious, we've heard from eric holder and he said the department of justice not ready to get involved. we're just going to monitor the situation. >> why? >> because they're investigating it at the v.a. let's think, department of justice, they investigated themselves regarding the, looking into reporters' background. the n.s.a., they're taking care of that. the i.r.s., they've got that handled as well; no criminality. this looks like, it could be, did it not touch so many americans lives, this could be another one of those stonewalling things. but in this case a lot of americans die. >> people are dying in the meantime. there is no time to go through a full investigation and delay while these veterans are dying. this is a death sentence right now. something has got to be done. john mccain actually
calling for jail for those that were involved and knowingly allowed this all to happen. >> he's right. it is nine minutes after the hour on this friday. we've got breaking news. now let's turn to heather nauert who's got some shoes on. >> good morning. we talked a lot about the winter and droughts in california affecting the wildfire season right now. this is a fox news alert. overnight two teenagers arrested on suspicion of trying to start a fire in southern california. this as multiple wildfires are raging and tens of thousands of people are forced to be on the move this morning. they are trying to escape the flames that have ravaged more than 10,000 acres so far and may have killed at least one person. the exact cause of the wildfires remains unclear at this time but officials are not ruling out arson. listen to this one coming in from overseas. a pregnant woman sentenced to death by a sudanese court because she is christian. she has been convicted of apostasy or the disaffiliation from a

>> joining us is fox news contributor and the c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america, captain pete hegseth. good morning, captain. >> good morning. >> why should he get fired? >> because he failed at his job. he's been there for six years. the department is failing veterans. we're seeing folks dying on secret lists. he wants to stand there and call it a good system and then he stands there and says these are isolated incidents when facts that were presented before him and he's even shown this is a widespread problem, an infected v.a. system that he has been aware of and only once the media shines of light of scrutiny on the department do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then he's doing it only because the i.g. is recommending it. this is not a guy leading the department now. >> you've got inspector generals at the v.a. inspecting themselves. they have known since 2010 about these gaming strategies. it is systemic. it obviously has come from the top. one of the problems at the
v.a. is if you hit your number as a manager, you get a bonus. it looks like people cooked the books to hit their numbers, and people died. >> absolutely. and what's different than private industry is the veterans don't get a choice in the scenario. they're going to that hospital no matter what. those administrators are taking that fixed volume of veterans, fudging the numbers, cooking the books to make the numbers look good for their administrators to get a big bonus. washington thinks the veterans are waiting two weeks. that veteran is waiting; months not getting the preventive care and so we've got guys dying while waiting on secret lists. >> to the best of our knowledge the secret lists are not being used now. do we have any indication that the waiting times are less? >> no. the problem is even getting rid of shinseki if he's fired doesn't change a culture mired in bureaucracy, that's mired in process. it doesn't incentivize clerks or technicians or others to work faster, to
be more efficient. that is the problem with the system. >> how do we fix it right now? >> congress has to provide an oversight function and start holding people accountable. there is going to be a vote on the house floor next week, v.a. management accountability act that would give any leader the ability to fire bad managers. the onus will be on the senate and the president. let's see if harry reid and president obama are going to put their money where their mouth is and start to st up for veterans. there is going to be a vote and a bill where they can do just that and we'll see, because there is a lot of rhetoric but there hasn't been a lot of action. this reform is a real bite. >> extraordinarily we have not heard from the commander in chief since he was traveling abroad. >> nothing. >> nothing. that speaks volumes. pete hegseth, thank you for joining us today. >> you got it. >> 20 minutes after the top. this heisman winner says he forgot to pay but what does the video show? does it show him stealing crab legs? stay tuned.

>> some stories making headlines overseas on this friday. [shouting] >> that dramatic video where they're cheering is from syria. it shows the exact moment syrian rebels blow up an army base with 60 tons of explosives with a tunnel bomb. rebel commanders spent months digging a 2,800 foot
tunnel under the base. over to india, the opposition party is headed for an election landslide. if results stand it would be the first time a single party has won an outright majority in that country since 1984. in resolution a rocket carrying a communications satellite broke apart nine minutes after that launch. >> a touching display of true sportsmanship and team work by teenage twin sisters at an illinois track meet. halfway through the track chloe gruenke felt something sharp -- pop and a sharp pain and fell to the ground. >> chloe's sister who was behind her in the race decided to pick her up when she couldn't finish and carry her across her back all the way across the finish line. the twins came in last but who cares.
for spectators who saw the special moment the girls came away winners. joining us now are the inspiring duo, sisters chloe and claire tkpwraoupb tkpwraoupb -- chloe and claire gruenke. how are you feeling now? >> surprised at the way everything is happening. >> is your leg okay? >> it's better now. >> you had an exhausting day. what happened to you? >> i did well in my first lap. when i came around to the second, my leg started to hurt and i fell to the ground from pain. i couldn't get back up. then claire came right behind me and said come on, chloe, you have to finish this. she stood up and motioned me to get on her back and i got on her back. she was jogging at first. i said claire, we're not going to be able to finish if you jog. i told her to walk and we
walked the rest. on the last 100, she was walking and she sat me down right before the finish line and kept pushing me to go first. i didn't want to go first. i wanted her to finish with me. we finished at the same time. >> i watched this with my daughter and she was so moved. this is a great message for many. the crowd, i hear, went wild. in a society where everyone is pressured to win, you chose to not let your sister stay behind. what were you thinking? why did you do this? >> it just came like natural to me like i have to help her. i have to have her finish at least. it doesn't matter if she doesn't win as long as she finishes it. >> what was your parents' reaction? claire? >> they were in tears, both of them. >> and your coaches? >> they were also in tears. >> here's the big question.
chloe, if claire fell, would you carry her? >> i probably would. i would help her get up, ask her if she needed it and then i'd help her. >> great. what's the next race for you all? >> well, next year in high school. >> you're going into what grade? >> ninth. we're going into ninth, yeah. >> i have a feeling any team, any coach would be more than proud to have you representing them. well done, girls. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> claire and chloe, thanks so much. we'll follow you. eat plenty of liquids and please stretch before you run. >> i'm going to carry brian in our spartan today to honor you. >> i don't know if you're allowed to stay home but we're actually doing a spartan race later and if elisabeth goes down, she's going to stay down. i'm not going to do the chair and chloe method.

tomorrow, by the way, is barbara walters' last day hosting "the view." after 53 years in broadcasting barbara is retiring and this morning they had a special show to send her off. they brought back all 11 kurpt and former -- current and former cohosts of "the view." there were no survivors. >> actually we have the one who was on "survivor." >> that's right. that is almost true. it was a special day. we got to pay tribute to barbara and all she's done for us. then look who i ran into in the hall. >> hillary rodham clinton. >> that is hillary clinton. >> how did that go? >> i said hi, do you take selfies? she said at this point what difference does it make? she said of course. we took the selfie and we talked a little bit about family. she's expecting a grand baby. i almost asked her about
benghazi and i thought not the place. then i said why don't you come -- she has a book coming out -- i said why don't you visit with us on "fox & friends," to which her assistant said okay. then she said okay. and i thought that was a yes. so i think maybe she'll come. i think it would be a great conversation to have. >> when you were on"the view" when she was running for the nomination she was on about five times. >> at the end of the race, ed rendell told us nobody was fair in the mainstream media to hillary clinton than fox news. >> i remember watching it thinking the same thing. i think it would be a fantastic opportunity to have a great conversation and reach a broad audience. >> and we sell a lot of books. if you have a book out, that's what you want to do. >> i'm banking on her keeping that "okay" word.
>> maybe we should put up the selfie every day until she returns. selfie day one. selfie day two. >> in a moment we're going to find out what the spartan race is all about. i'll go out on the veranda. >> the producers have done a great job. heather nauert, you saw as well, one of us is going to wind up going home today -- >> dead. >> from the hospital. it's so dangerous. that's the easy part. it's the big wall and it's the thing you've got to climb. it's that thing down at the end. it's that -- remember gym class when you used to have to climb up the ropes? >> yes. >> i never did that. i'm tkpwog do it -- i'm going to do it today. >> guys, we talk about we all have trouble sleeping from time to time. that brings us to this first story, a wake up call for anybody who uses a sleeping pill called lunesta. the f.d.a. lowering the dose of that popular drug.
the reason? the pill you take at night could make it dangerous for you to drive to work the next morning. there is new data showing people might not be alert enough to drive to work even if they feel totally awake. the f.d.a. starting to cut that dose in half. there is new surveillance video out there. it captures the moment the heisman trophy winner jameis winston shoplifted crab legs from a store in florida. the video shows picking up the crab legs, walking around the store and then walked out the door. he says he forgot to pay for it. he wasn't charged but was suspended for three games and had to do 20 hours of community service. an attempt to reach out to women voters has some calling for a california assembly candidate sexist. a sacramento democrat sending out campaign pot holders addressed only to
women. he claims it was to appeal to female voters. >> i use them when i'm at home. i don't want to burn myself. >> well, that makes sense? send me a potholder. the pot holders came with a letter slamming fong's g.o.p. running mate. the girl scouts in one georgia city, they may soon actually need a permit if they want to sell cookies door to door. yeah, that is right, steve. the city council in the town of snellville, georgia, proposing a measure that would require them to apply for a permit and submit to a background check. the city council said too many homeowners have complained about those pesky door to door solicitors. and those are your headlines. i'd love to hear what our viewers have to think about that. it is actually the parents who need the background check. >> be prepared.
let's go out to the streets of new york city. maria molina i think is going to be competing against me in that crazy race where somebody is going to not do well. >> and i will win, of course. >> i'll let you. >> have you seen some of these obstacle courses. they're 14 feet high. that is going to go great coming up later on this morning. you need to tune in and watch. the weather conditions a bit of an obstacle across parts of the northeast. we have a chance to see rain here in new york city and surrounding areas of the northeast and there is the potential for flooding. as much as three to even five inches of rain are forecast throughout the day today. keep a heads up because there is going to be the threat for flooding across the northeast. temperature-wise, it is very cool. a little bit unusually cool across parts of the great lakes. chicago currently 40 degrees. even for may, that's cool for you. 40 in kansas city. minneapolis you're in the 40's as well.
farther west across parts of the southern california, we've been talking about wildfires. unfortunately we still expect an elevated fire danger today with red flag warnings in effect and temperatures in the 90's in l.a. and triple digits in phoenix. let's head over to brian. >> we have the founder of the spartan race and the author of "spartan up." you see it in the background. what is it? joe, where did this all start? >> four years ago in vermont we said we wanted to find high functioning people, people willing to get off the couch and get it done. we started, we thought 50 people would show up, it is a one million people movement globally. >> you believe human beings are meant to get off the couch and doing this at a regular basis, hunting for food, finding shelter,
digging holes. >> you should only want water, food and shelter. right now we have an abundance of stuff in america and it is making us soft. >> in the book you talk about your charity aspect. >> challenge athlete foundation, if anybody needs a wheelchair, we get behind them. >> come over here a second. we have this wall. the object is to push up right . >> you're going to use some triceps. we're going to flip a tire here. you want to lift the right way. we've got a rope climb here. you're going to use upper body strength, hit the bell at the top. watch some of these guys and girls kicking it with their feet. >> here's the thing. we haven't climbed ropes since maybe fourth grade. i wasn't too good at it then. >> you're going to get better at it. you're going to need a bigger suit. >> over here, the -- >> we call this the
hercules hoist. you're going to want to grab this and then squat down. pink is for girls. >> steve and elisabeth, there are about six different things to do here. you saw how fit these guys are. do you have any preconceived thoughts about how well you're going to do? steve and elisabeth? >> just looking at that rope gave me a cold sweat flashing back to wakefield junior high school, wakefield, kansas, where we had that rope. i never made it to the top. >> neither did i. my gym teacher said you can do it. >> but we're going to do it! and we're glad he set it up. brian, joe, thank you very much. >> start stretching. in the meantime this video outraged so many of you today. a teacher gets to keep her job after picking up this child by his face. that boy and his parents are going to join us coming

welcome back. a major medical breakthrough in the fight against cancer. doctors found a way to use viruses to attack and kill cancer cells. >> they injected one woman with the measles virus, another woman with the polio virus and know both of them are cancer-free. does this mean potentially that a single shot cancer cure is around the corner? joining us on the couch is dr. manny alvarez with the medical a team. who thought up this? >> this is research that's been happening in animal modeled for about a decade
or so where, you know, we know viruses when they get inside any living organism, they kill cells. this is how viruses live in our body. in animal models, we know if you expose the animal to let's say the measles virus it goes directly to cancer cells. why cancer cells? cancer cells tend to divide very quickly. that is the perfect incubator a virus needs. in this particular case they did a human trial. >> do you think moving forward that chemotherapy can wipe out your body overall to fight against diseases, sickness outside of the cancer you're dealing with. is this something that will have to be, if it goes forward, injected early enough before someone goes through chemotherapy treatment? >> well, let me try to explain a little bit. i think this is going to be a norm of potential treatment for some people. you're still going to have the surgical arm, still have the chemotherapy, radiation. but in this particular instance, there's a couple of things that need to
happen. first, you can't have immunity towards the virus. if you have immunity towards the measles virus, it may not work. as soon as the measles virus gets inside your body, you're going to kill it. it will never get to target. that is one of the pitfalls. this is only one human, especially for the myeloma and the other was glioma of the head where the virus was injected directly into the tumor. there are some side effects, potential side effects that can mess up your whole immune system because you get exposed to millions of viruses all at once. this is not a little shot. this is a big-time shot. >> you're right. i was going to ask you about that. it's not just the regular injection. it was, with the measles it was ten million times the regular dose. >> sounds risky. >> it's risky. i read the article that was published -- >> the woman didn't know it was a ten million dose shot
until after it happened. >> within minutes she was vomiting, she felt ill, had a temperature of 105. you see the body's reaction wheb -- when you get exposed to it. thankfully she is now cancer free. >> that is remarkable. >> thank you, dr. manny. >> have a good weekend. >> i'm going to go out there. >> you're going to climb the wall? on doctor's orders, dr. manny from the medical a team. >> good for your health. thank you. coming up, this video outraged so many of us yesterday. a teacher gets to keep her job after picking up that boy -- he's six -- by his face. that boy and his parents join us next. >> are you racist if you like this commercial? well, maybe. we're going to explain the argument one school has for that. >> guess what today is? >> it's hump day.

can. so we're just trying to get him back to his normal life the best way we can. >> so let's go back a little bit, this is not a video that was shown to you when you first heard there was an incident at school. the superintendent down played as far as i read, and then you had to go and find the video on your own. why? >> actually they never said anything to us about a video until later on. basically we got the video with basically a school-type discovery pack is what we got on tuesday and found out about a video. we had absolutely no idea about that. we were told that basically there was an altercation with him and a teacher. she had grabbed him and pushed him up against a wall and was yelling at him. that's all we were told. we obviously were mad about the situation of a teacher putting their hands on him, but to see a whole video is a whole different thing. when you read the statements, it's insane that they allowed this teach tore come back after a ten-day suspension.
>> not only that, the ten-day suspension is what she's facing right now after an assault as it seems right there in the hallway against your son. but now, as i understand it, did ian remain in the classroom for two days with her until you found out about this video? >> he finished the day out with her on wednesday and he was with her on thursday and then they decided on friday they were going to move him for a different class. they put him into a different class and immediately iam came home the next day, said i have a new teacher, i like her. he said, i made new friends today. he was back to being happy about school again for a little while, you know. >> do you believe that ten days is what this teacher should get, ten-day suspension? and is ian back in school? will he finish the year out? >> no, since we got the video we pulled him from school because obviously with all the media coverage going on, we wanted to try to shelter him a little bit from staff questioning him and everything else. we pulled him and my oldest son
out of school for -- the school year is over this week anyway. there wasn't anything detrimental to his education. but with the actual ten days, i mean, you're supposed to have a zero tolerance for bullying, but yet this is a teach obviously bully -- teacher obviously bullying a child and you're going to give her a slap on the wrist because she's been there for 14 years? come on, if i did that to her, i'd be in jail. why is it okay for her to do it to a six-year-old child? >> great questions there. ian, you're a good guy. school will be good to you from now on. when you get back there, have fun. we want to thank you all for being with us. we'll stay on this. coming up, more trouble with school much now it's not okay to call your professor miss or mister? turns out that's sexist, too,

now you're doing it. >> are you afraid of me? >> that was the story. >> that is my fear, that she will be carrying me. on a serious note, yesterday was dominated by the veterans administration hearings led by generic shinseki. he had to explain himself why the v.a. system is falling apart, why, when you're supposed to get treatment within 14 days, on average, it's taking 245 days. in some cases, so little treatment was given that people died. now we're finding out it's even more widespread than we thought. >> they risked their lives daily to fight for our freedom. yet come home to sit on waiting lists where they then die waiting for health care here. truly unfortunate, making a ton of people feel outraged on both sides of the aisle. but shinseki says he's not going to step down from the job.
six years has not done enough. >> he says he's mad as hell. what's extraordinary is there have been reports in his office since 2010 that reported these gaming strategies where they had these different ways to game the system so it looked like the wait times were pretty short and that way they could boast hey, we're doing things. >> they got incentives and bonuses. >> i was about to say that. you're absolutely right. they would get bonuses to hit their number. so in other words, they were cooking the books in some cases, as we've already heard. pete hegseth, a regular on this program, he's had it up to here with this, says shinseki has got to go. >> he should get fired because he failed at his job, because he's been there for six years. the department is failing veterans. we're seeing folk dying on secret lists. he wants to stand there and call it a good system. and then he stands there and says these are just isolated incidents when facts presented before him have shown this is a
widespread problem, infected v.a. system that he has been aware of and only wants the media -- once the media shines the light of scrutiny do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then he's doing because the i.g. recommends it. this is not a guy leading a department right now. >> not general like. by the way, we know his track record is unbelievable. what he's already done for the country in uniform. however, just because you're a great general doesn't mean you're great ceo. clearly there is a problem with the system. let's get your responses. pam says people that don't do their job get fired where i work and a manager would get fired if the people they manage were not doing their job or caused harm to others. she's intimating he should go. >> steve, not doocy, said this on facebook. he is just a figurehead. it was not him that made the death list. go after the person that led them involved. >> we know the 40 people involved supposedly in arizona, at the phoenix facility. there is another report that 23
vets died waiting for cancer screenings. okay. the death toll is up to 60. so will the top law enforcement man in our country investigate? eric holder says at this point no. here is charles krauthammer weighing in last night on "special report". >> he's the chief law enforcement officer of the united states and he's waiting to hear what the media will tell him about what's been happening inside the government in the one system in the u.s. that is the most entirely government run? i think this is just stupid politics. i can understand stonewalling on benghazi and the irs and all the other stuff. but this is the v.a. this is a big mistake on his part. >> yesterday jake tapper on cnn had dennis mcdonough, the chief of staff from the white house, on and he said essentially, how many dead vets do we need before heads start to roll? and mcdonough just gave him some excuses. >> how many more days until the commander in chief steps in?
>> dennis mcdonough tells him how mad he is. >> everybody is mad but nobody is doing anything. >> heather nauert. >> she's not mad. >> she's working hard here like the rest of us and will bring us some head lines. >> we've got big news coming out of california. it is wildfire season. that gets us to our fox news alert. overnight, two teen-agers arrested on the suspicion of trying to start a fire at a park in southern california. this is multiple wildfires rage across that state and tens of thousands of people in the san diego area are now on the move. they are trying to escape the flames that have so far ravaged more than 10,000 acres and killed at least one person. we'll watch this story throughout the morning. casey kasem not in danger. he was just on vacation? the 82-year-old was in good shape apparently when they found him at a friend's house in seattle with his wife. his daughter still has really serious concerns about her dad's well-being. he suffers from dementia and can no longer speak. she's been battling her stepmom
in court for the right to see her father. also new overnight, a russian space launch not going exactly as planned. just nine minutes after this rocket launched, it veered off path and caused an emergency shut down. the rocket was carrying communication satellite and it broke apart and then burned up in the atmosphere. and talk about a rude awakening, take a lows look at this video. that's a bear as he pokes his head in the front door while this homeowner sleeps on the couch. this happened in california. the guy jumped to his feet, shoed away the bear by making loud noises. that frightening encounter happened two years ago, but it was just uploaded, the video, to youtube. can you imagine that? something wakes you up? not your teen-ager, but a bear. >> that's very scary. >> thank you, boo boo. >> thanks, heather. the pc police are working overtime today. two stories to tell you about.
we'll start with this one. do you like this commercial? >> guess what day it is. huh? anybody? julie, guess what day it is. come on, i know you can hear me. mike, mike, mike, mike. what day is it, mike? leslie, guess what today is. >> it's hump day. >> woo woo! >> a lot -- that is hilarious. a lot of us refer to wednesday as hump day. turns out we may be racist. at the university of saint thomas in minnesota, which is a catholic school, they were going to celebrate the end of school, which was on a wednesday, with hump day. and so they were going to bring in a camel, like a petting zoo. but a number of the university students felt that that would be racist and make people, students from middle eastern countries feel bad. so the school caved. there would be no hump day celebration because hump referring to hump in the camel is racist. >> right. also owe phonedded were --
offended were sunday, monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday. >> so do you think that's about time we cracked down on hump day? do you feel this is way overdue or not? >> what if you smoke camel cigarettes? >> doesn't that make the middle easterns feel bad? >> i don't know. >> let us know what you think about that. >> what if you smoked them on hump day? >> wait, there is more. >> yeah. so professors are demanding an end to titles like sir and miss because they're sexist. so i couldn't say sir, referring to them in class, this is a big deal here. do you think that's sexist as well? you can see miss but just professor? >> you're talking about professor jennifer coates in london. she says that one of her quotes is, the men on the staff are all in their 20s and they were called sir. she said, sire is what you call the king and sir is a knight. there weren't women knights, but miss is ridiculous.
it doesn't match sir at all. so she wants people to stop referring to people as sir and miss and instead use your title. if off professor title, use that. but if you don't have a professor title, i don't know what you would refer to you as, mrs. hasselbeck. >> just miss. >> right. why don't we just stop talking to each other and make it easy? >> the problem is, we're doing a talk show! >> that's right. i keep forgetting. >> hump day. >> there is no humping op hump day. straight ahead, coming up, who are you calling coward? the democrats tweeting out this picture of a congressional candidate who is also an iraq war veteran. that candidate will respond for the first time next. and it's a video everyone will be talking about today. the ambulance driver who drives and dances. ♪

you're not going to believe this, but democrats revert to go nasty name calling in a new york house race that could potentially pit republican against six-term democratic congressman tim bishop. this comment was posted on its web site about him. did i mention he served in iraq? zeldon refuses to take a stand against his party wreckless budget and and the insults don'd
there. they posted this picture of him as the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. he's here to weigh in to tell us the response. your reaction to being called a coward? >> you have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffs his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. the fact is nancy pelosi, steve israel, tim bishop, they've never served a day and i think when i was sitting at the door on that blackhawk and you do what's so unnatural, jumping out with your parachute, fast forward to today and you have these democratic hacks out of washington who want to change the subject and fling insults and say i'm a coward. it doesn't fit. >> your reaction is put somees y serving. do they even understand that that's your background? they did something very similar to congressman cotton down
south, too. >> yeah. i think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. so they want to attack it because they're so desperate to hold on to power. they're prestige, their perks, they don't want to lose it. they'll do anything to hold a congressional seat. so they'll try to tear down someone who -- for me i spent half my life serving in the military. i love it. i'm proud of it. i don't want to be called a coward. >> you put yourself through law school by joining the rotc. you went to al beeny. you were a jag officer, but also going out on missions because you were in this thing for the last 13 years called war. >> i was with the a second airborne division. i still serve as a major in the army reserve, 2006. deployed to iraq, based tekrit, with an infantry battalion. i was proud to serve with my hero, people willing to lay down everything in protection of our constitution, our freedoms and our liberties. honored to serve and i certainly
don't want to be mischaracterized of who i am and what i'm about. >> tim bishop's area, which he held for six terms now, so he's had that, it's pretty much suffolk county on long island. but your main theme is, hey, if you're a family of four and you're making $80,000, you are not making it in this area. >> between the taxes, the property taxes, the income taxes, energy costs, health care costs, it all adds up. it's very difficult to get by. and for all the issues that are facing us as a community and a nation, we need courage of people in office who are willing to put forth plans to say balance our nation's budget. so the democrats, they refuse to put out a plan. instead they just want to campaign against it and they want to scare seniors. they want to throw low income americans on the street. it's scary what they're saying. >> real quick, do you back paul ryan's plan? >> i think that it's important that we put ourselves on the
path towards fiscal responsibility. i think that there is good things and things that can be improved in it. i look forward to being part of that discussion with him next year to have hopefully a stronger plan to move forward. >> thanks for your service. it's too bad the debate can't be about issues and they got to get into character. but actually it's one of your strong suits. so bring it on i guess could be the message. thanks so much. coming up, new mothers usually get a few months off after having a baby. how about a few years? we're going to tell you who is getting that perk. and some bad news for the brady bunch. ♪ that's the way we all became the brady bunch ♪ >> yep. you're not as smart as this family. meet the brainy bunch. seven kids who went to college by age 12 and three more on the way. they're here to tell us how they did it without alice. ♪ ♪ how did we do it last time? i don't know... i forget.

the movie not playing in competition. there are 18 films here in competition and 20 years ago, it's now the 20th anniversary of "pulp fiction." it won the palm door here in cannes 20 years ago. do y'all remember that one famous scene about the royale with cheese? check this out. >> do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in paris? >> they don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese? >> they have the metrics. they would call it the royale with cheese. >> classic scene. i actually went to a mcdonald's yesterday and ordered a royale with cheese. we have my receipt. we have my hamburger box here. i was so geeking out. that was one of the coolest experiences i've ever had. ordering a royale with cheese in france. >> now i understand your instagram. >> how much was it in euros? i'm trying to figure it out on your bill. >> i think it was like seven
euros for the combo. i got french fries. it wasn't bad at all. i'm here for the festival. it's amazing. i'm seeing "hunter of the dragon." i'm geeking out beyond belief. >> write down all of this. you can expense all of it now that you're on television. >> and skip "godzilla" requesting. >> we got that idea. >> thank you, kevin. >> how many monster movies have we seen in the last ten years where they destroy new york? in other news here, coming up, we're going to tell you something you probably never seen before. geraldo, look at this, riding a bike to work today. stick around for the next hour of "fox & friends." >> where is his helmet? ♪ ♪ good job!

way. >> i know. >> you looked great on "the view" with all of your colleagues. so proud of you there. >> you've got a great story of barbara walters. if you missed me the last half hour, it was me and maria molina in the spartan race. >> she killed you. >> she did. this next part after the tire -- brian, i know you're worried about this, too, and i'm trying to help maria and also trying ogive a guy a that to do it for me, but they wouldn't do it. i did that only through shear determination. i'm 57 years old. >> nice. >> that's the first time i ever did that. >> it must have been the adrenaline. you went up and nailed the bell. >> look at that. >> i was impressed. this is not an easy task. i think it kind of bonds you with the people you run it with. >> it does.

sad news to report this morning. a top army ranger who personally made sure that american pow jessica lynch made it to her rescue chopper in iraq has died after he was shot by a sniper in afghanistan. command sergeant major martin barreras was shot may 6, but he managed to make it back to the united states. doctors say they were sure he would make a full recovery and he was set to head to walter reed for surgery. but he decided he wanted to stay closer to his wife and his children and have his operation performed in texas. but he didn't make it. he had served 22 years in the army 75th ranger regiment, going to iraq and afghanistan many, many times. he's also served five years in the marine corps. he received a bronze star for courage. he now leaves behind his wife, two daughters, and a son. he was 49 years old. our prayers go out to his family this morning. the pc police working overtime today. two stories to tell you about. we'll start here, you like this commercial? you see it all over tv.
>> guess what day it is. huh? anybody? julie, guess what day it is. oh, come on. >> okay. if you like that commercial, you may be racist? the university of saint thomas in minnesota now canceling an event to celebrate the end of the year after some people complained about bringing a humped day camel on campus. they say it could be considered to be racist to middle eastern cultures. it was a wednesday. then this story, a feminist professor demands an end to titles like sir and miss, claiming they're sexist. the woman says she felt demeaned by youngsters calling her miss and she wants the titles banned from schools all together. that's what we teach our kids. call their teacher miss. >> not anymore. you're being insensitive. not in the new world we're in. >> yes, ma'am. >> so silly. >> we got a lot of e-mail from you.
bob from new jersey writing about hump day. the truth is, people who make these claims just get a rush out of making an entire university drop a planned program. they need to feel that power. >> and regarding the professor against sir and miss, richard from georgia says, using sir and ma'am does not make you politically correct or incorrect. it shows you have some respect for other human beings. to your point, heather. >> now let's switch gears. the big story yesterday was the v.a. hospital. very few people have been around more men in uniform than geraldo rivera. you know that general shinseki served admirably in uniform. having said that, do you think he should go from what you've heard so far? >> let me start, and i don't do this characteristically, but i want to start with the white house because i think that this is potentially the most devastating scandal to affect the obama administration and i'll tell you why. >> really? >> because it speaks to competence. if indeed they can prove or -- and i believe they should bring the f.b.i. now to probe this,
possibility of criminal acts, if they can prove the double books and that the books were cooked, if they can prove that the administration of the veterans administration, including the hero general shinseki -- and i told you last week how i hold him in the highest regard and hearing about this master sergeant who passed from the sniper's bullet, these people that serve and are wounded in action and continue to serve, they are deserving of our admiration, our love, our compassion. but if they can prove a systematic failure within the veterans administration, the largest integrated health care system in the country, 6.5 million patients of the system, if they can prove that general shinseki knew or should have known, then i think it really bodes badly for the president in the midterm election year because it will be hammered. you hear now general shinseki being hammered by senators left and right. democrat and republican. i think that there must be an independent criminal probe at
this point. >> does it bother you he hasn't spoken out yet? >> president obama? you know, i think he has -- commander in chief has to get his arms around it and i would, if i were advising him, i would tell him right now to make a very forceful statement, other than i have faith in general shinseki. of course you do. but find out what really happened. >> it sounds like general shinseki has known since 2010. that's with -- they knew about the gaming strategies at the v.a. for the last four years. and he's been at the top of it. we know of the 40 people who died in arizona waiting on the fake list that they shredded. apparently there are at least 25 other people who were waiting for a simple cancer screening and they died. it looks to some like this is criminal and somebody should go to prison. >> two quick points. number one, the only national customer satisfaction survey that we have compares the v.a. system favorably to private
hospitals. in other words, patients in the v.a. like the v.a. system more than private patients like the private hospital system. >> does it look at waiting lists? >> having said that. if indeed we have evidence that this was cooking the books or fraudulently represented the waiting time, then that, i believe, is a crime and i do believe that with all due respect to the inspector general, that general shinseki has now ordered to probe these potential irregularities, i think you need the f.b.i. at this point. if you can have the f.b.i. investigating whether a new york congressman used undocumented workers in the kitchen, you can have the f.b.i. investigating this. >> they're saying eric holder's investigation might take too long and we can't afford to lose more lives in our veterans in the meantime? >> i think you need criminal investigators. i really think you need people to forensically go and study whether or not evidence was destroyed as now is being alleged, if indeed there are two books, if there was knowledge of the fact that they were cook the books, and keeping separate waiting time lists, one to
present in the public and the other as private, whispering this guy is going to -- three months, six months. the v.a. complaint has always been it's not the quality of care. it's the time you wait until you get the care. >> elisabeth had a big day yesterday. >> she was magnificent. i was so proud of her there. like watching our own sister. >> went back to "the view." >> yesterday was special. barbara has done so much for so many in the industry. we just gathered together and i call us ghosting around her, but giving her thanks for inspiring us and giving us advice and we shared all our favorite memories together. it was really special. >> you wound up crossing trails with hillary clinton and you invited her on "fox & friends." >> i did. i first asked if she took selfies. she said yes. i said, you should come to "fox & friends" and we'll talk. >> we specialize in selfies around here. >> look who is talking. >> she gave us a smiling okay. >> a couple of things that were interesting to me. i'll speak about barbara in a second.
but to see how few of the ladies that have been through "the view" share your political philosophy. it's quite extraordinary when you see everyone gathered. there is you and then it's all of the other women. >> welcome to new york. >> quite a disproportionate in terms of political philosophy. >> i think star jones travels along that. >> i've known barbara for over 40 years. i had a crush on her, two quick stories. i was hitting on her, we were both covering the p canal. i said come on, baby. look at me. we were both covering it. it was romantic. she goes like this, i'm busy tonight. she ended up with the panamanian dictator, took him to dinner. i'm trying to get the interview. this little kid sitting outside. there is barbara. >> she got the interview and the dictator. >> she didn't get him in that sense. >> scoop wise. >> yeah. the other one on her 75th birthday, the ladies of "the
view" -- >> were you still hitting on her? >> still hitting on her. in recognition of that, they had me jump out of her birthday cake. >> i remember that. i remember that. >> that was her favorite cake. >> i wasn't topless. i remembered it wrong. i felt topless. i did not have sex with that woman. >> overall, it's another show today, isn't there? >> yeah. today is her time, final day. what a pioneer she's been. role model for so many. aside from the fact the first woman anchor, she's really about such a feisty and wonderful reporter. she practically made peace in the middle east by getting baggen and sadat to sit down with each other. she was barting and arbitrating that momentous occasion. castro, the first time he came out of his shell and talked to people on our side of the --
>> did he come out of a shell or out of a cake like you? >> maybe he really was topless. >> thank you very much for remembering. >> has a great amount of respect and care for everyone on this couch, too. >> that's great. >> today is her last day. geraldo, we'll see you back here next week. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, we give them billions of dollars each year. russia is telling the under the circumstances us, no more rides to the moon. senator bill nelson joins us next to weigh in. you watched steve and maria go through the spartan race together. but guess what, brian is promising he's going to hold nothing back when he faces me. >> who wrote that? i did not say that. i was misquoted on my own show. the prompter turned against me. i did not trash talk. >> go, elisabeth. ♪

can they say america, you can't use the space station and we're not taking you up there anymore? >> the fellow who is saying all this stuff, he was sanctioned because of mr. putin's aggressiveness. they froze his bank account and he doesn't like it. and so he's lashing out. the fact is, we're still going to ride on the russian rockets until we get our own humanly safe rockets ready in about two or three years. and the reason that we will is the russians can't operate the space station without us. >> don't we own it? since when do they own the international space station? they currently have the way of transporting us there. they don't own it. >> that's correct. most of the international space station, which is 15 countries, by the way, most of it is the u.s. for example, the russians get all of their electricity from
u.s. systems. the russians have components on it. the russians were very good in building it with us. this cooperation goes back to the cold war with the soviet union when apollo soyuz and soviet spacecraft rand viewed and docked and they lived together in space in the middle of the cold war. >> rhetoric aside, how is it that we're depending on the russians? we're far ahead of them in our technology and our space exploration. how did we end up without rockets and how close until we get our own? >> here is what happened. at the end of the soviet union, the disintegration, we went in there to keep their rocket scientists from going to iran and north korea and worked out a deal that this incredible engine that they have that we would buy it. it is the main first stage
engine on some of our most important rockets, the atlas 5, that puts up military and commercial space load. so at the end of the day, we're going to have to build a new engine to replace that because they're threatening -- they're not going to sell that engine to us for military. for commercial, they haven't prohibited that. >> listen, we need a major speech about this, get america rallied around this and give new credence to the space program. we have allowed it to wither on the vine and i don't think it's right and i know you agree. especially in florida. senator bill nelson, thanks so much. >> have a great day. >> you, too. coming up straight ahead, a frightening new warning on something millions of americans are using to get a good night's sleep. pay attention to that. then you've seen the video. a dog attacking a little boy. then a cat steps in to save the day. i'm not talking about a cartoon if you're listening on radio. this happened. you'll meet that boy, you'll meet the hero live when we come back and that lovely family.

24 minutes after the top of the hour. we got some headlines for you making headlines overseas. look at that. that dramatic video is from syria. it shows the exact moment syrian rebels blew up an army base with 60-tons of explosives by bombing through an underground tunnel that they dug. in india, change coming to the world's largest democracy. the opposition party heading for a landslide election. voters kicking out the gandhi family. they have been in control for all but ten years since the
country won independence back in 1947. elisabeth hasselbeck, over to you. >> thanks, steve. well, it is safe to say that our next guest is the most popular cat in america. she's the fearless feline who saved a little boy from a vicious dog attack. and it was all caught on camera. four-year-old jeremy was playing outside at his home when a neighbor's dog attacked him and that's what you see here. cat tara sprang into action and chased that dog off, saving him. he joins us this morning with his parents, and tara the hero cat is here. good morning to you all. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> okay. i see one tired little fellow there. >> he certainly is. >> a big week for him. and his protector, tara is right by his side. this is interesting because most people find cats more independent. they sort of get the rep for that. but it seems as though tara has
a serious bond with you guys. >> yeah. she definitely is independent for the most part. but she does have her loving moments when she wants to come in and be loved. that's what kind of made us post the video was the fact we've never seen anything like this before in a cat standing up for someone getting attacked. it was impressive. >> impressive, it was life saving right there. if you could walk us through, erica, you actually were watering plants, i hear, and then you see this dog and hear this dog coming up on jeremy, who is only four years old and sound asleep now, but tell us what happened. what did you see? >> we were just getting off the bus. i was watering some plants before we went inside and he was just kind of enjoying himself on the warm afternoon. the next thing we know, he was just on the ground being pulled
by the dog and before i could even get to him, tara had that dog. >> she jumped in. she literally saved him. you attempted, too. i'm seeing something on jeremy's leg right here. two questions, how severely hurt is he? and are you hurt? and also, is this a dog you're familiar with and has this happened before? the bandage on his leg, is it stitches? >> he has ten stitches. they had to do two stitches on the inside of each wound and then three stitches on the outside. he didn't really enjoy that. he told us the doctor punched him, unfortunately. but he got wrapped up and fixed up. he made sure his little leg was decorated with the cars sticker and he thinks that's pretty neat. that's great. i actually got bit as well.
nothing compared to my son. nice and large bruise, unfortunately. >> i'm sure that's a bruise you're happy to take in an attempt to help your sweet little guy there. but roger, let me ask you this, the dog was a neighbor's dog and i know that he was heard barking before. did you ever expect that this would happen and then what do you want to happen moving forward? >> you know, we really didn't expect it to happen. the dog has been aggressive when he's on the other side of the fence, but not to the point where we have been afraid that something would happen when he was out front, he's usually with his owners. when he was with them, he always acted fairly normally, like you would expect a dog to act. so we didn't really have any tell tale signs that this was imminent. but just watching the video, it seems like the owners weren't there and they were a little bit away from the i want -- incident
when it happened. the dog kind of took to his own and went after my son. it's an unfortunate i want. >> if tara was not there, i mean, it's awful to think of the worst. but things would have turned out differently, do you think? >> definitely. if she hadn't been there, i don't know how i would have gotten the dog off. i'm sure i would have gone in and tried to grab him myself and the dog might have bit me worse than it did. i don't know if i could have gotten him off my son without hurting him worse. >> in an attack like that, seconds matter. >> a hero cat right there, tara who loves your family and we're glad jeremy is resting andg the. we're glad everything is okay, important message to send. take care. >> thank you. we are, too. coming up, the president promised our nation's veterans
this. >> cut those backlog, slash those wait times, deliver your benefits sooner. >> well, another broken promise. this time some of our veterans are paying the ultimate price. so what happens now? chris wallace surely is on that next. and who you calling a coward? democrats tweeting out this picture of republican who is a veteran. he responds for the first time right here on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announc ] your eyes. even at a distance of 10 mis... the length 146 football fields... they can see the light of a single candle. your eyes are amazing. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins with lutein and vitamins a, c, and e

>> of course. >> i come here to visit with you. there is no ulterior motive here. we don't have to mention our show or the exclusive interview with dick and liz cheney or the fact that karl rove will be on to talk about hillary clinton or that we're going to be talk being the v.a. scandal. i don't want to talk about any of that. what do you want to talk about? >> chris wallace, thank you very much. we'll be watching you. >> now listen, chris, you know what it's like to go back with reunions, right? you've been to a high school reunion. >> he knows barbara walters. >> what do you think of elisabeth going back? how do you feel about her emotions? >> do you have a barbara moment you want to share? >> look, i had the great good fortune when i was at abc to work with barbara for a while and elisabeth will agree. she's such a great pro. relentless, tough, fiercely competitive. one of the things 2003 in the business, people who interview people for a living, you're always thinking, even if it's not your interview, how i would have asked them or what i would
have said and you think, boy they didn't do this right. one of the things i always felt watching a barbara walters interview was this she squeezed the sponge dry. when it was over, she had gotten everything out of that person there was to get. a total pro. i think she -- people probably have a few scars from having gone up against her and competed with her, but i don't think anybody leaves thinking that she wasn't just a total professional and a great, great journalist. >> get this, she still is getting the big interviews. through the donald sterling scandal, she still is nailing the big guys. >> so to speak. >> you have to be careful how you say that. >> interviews wise. >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> nailing the big guys. >> you want a do over on nailing the big guy? >> no. chris and i have a certain vocabulary. he knows what i mean. >> he's going to continue. >> she gets the big interview. brian, really. hello, youtube. i'm glad all of you are watching out there. that's another big point about why she was so great, which is the fact that i think people felt that she treated them fairly. she wasn't easy. she always asked the tough questions. but it wasn't about her and gotchas and i think that's up with of the reasons that the big guys were willing to be nailed by her is because of the fact that they knew they'd get a fair hearing. let me ask but fair here, shifting gears, as it relates to the v.a. and the wbr-id "wbr94550" hearing. it seemed to be unusually unpartisan or bipartisan in terms of the grilling of eric shinseki. why do you think that is? well, because there is no partisanship when it comes to the veterans. look, it's very simple. these are people that were willing to risk their lives and defend our country, in many cases, these great men and women were injured in service of our country. to be a little cynical about it,
they're also an enormous voting bloc and so whether you're republican or democrat, there are no two sides to this issue. veterans didn't receive proper treatment, if they were being messed over, god forbid if some of them died because they couldn't even get an appointment. there are no two sides to this issue. there is only one side, which is fix it. >> by the same token, you would think there would be no argument between the two parties if the federal government in the form of the irs is punishing somebody during the political system, where they targeted the tea party, or if four americans are killed in benghazi. you would think that that would also be bipartisan and outrage. yet, it's not. >> no. i mean, i take your point there. obviously there are things that are just right or wrong. i just would say that the veterans and thank god for this, they're kind of above politics. and you're exactly right, most
things aren't above politics, but the vets are. >> chris, i want to check you on that. are people going to be saying how could this happen over the last six years? how could in 2009 the wait be 45 days, and in 2014, the wait is 245 days to get an appointment? >> i was reading something interesting in the paper yesterday. i don't know if it's true. we're going to explore this on fox news sunday. but i have heard that there has been a huge increase in the demand for v.a. medical services in the last couple of years. it's about doubled. i'm not saying that's an excuse for this kind of treatment, but there may be a reason. and apparently the number of v.a. doctors has gone down. so this may not be a simple thing of people were sitting there reading the comic books instead of taking care of veterans. it may be that we need more -- a lot more doctors and need to spend more money, whatever we need to do, do it. whether or not eric shinseki is the right guy to do that, that's
legitimate question. i think it goes way beyond one guy into how the whole system has worked and let's hope that they get it together, although going back to other issues, when you see how much trouble we have with something as easy as a web site, you wonder how good it's going to be or how effective the government is going to be in dealing with hundreds of thousands of people who have really serious health needs. >> absolutely. the great chris wallace, plugging his show. tune in sunday, former vice president dick cheney and his wife, lynn, also karl rove, who had a big week. you've got a lot to chew on. that's why that man nails the big interviews. >> making history there, chris. >> thank you. >> i think we almost got out of this interview with our dignity intact, but no thanks to brian. >> thank you. >> friday, we have two days to write our apologies. hey, heather. >> i've got a story about politics. he is an iraq war veteran and running for congress.
what's so cowardly about republican lee zeldin? , the campaign arm of the house democrats, a comparison so the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. they say he needs to decide where he stands on congressman paul ryan's budget. zeldin hadn't spoken about this until this morning on "fox & friends." listen to this. >> you have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffing his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. i think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. >> by the way, his democratic opponent has not served in the military. if you're one of millions of americans who need help getting toly. the f.d.a. is lowering the recommended dose of the sleeping drug, lunesta. the reason is that the pill that you take at night could make for dangerous driving to work the next day. new data showing that you may

being defiant? we're going to report and you decide. >> call it a new campaign record. one election barely over but rand paul seems ready to run against hillary. you think so? mornings -- i know this for sure -- are better with friends. >> welcome back aboard. live from studio e. brian, she's here and she's in good shape considering she ran the new york city marathon. >> yes. i slept with my medal under my pillow. we'll do the debrief 6:30 this morning. you raised $60,000. a big thank you to all. >> we get to see some of this along the way. >> yes. >> fantastic. >> we'll get your time too at some point? >> that's why she's got the
watch. >> a couple of years ago the president said he got shellacked by the midterms. people said he would have some words. he didn't have big describeer about the loss. he didn't seem to say there would be a shakeup. he said i hear you, america, what happened. but it seemed to go in one ear and out the other. watch this. >> to everyone who voted, i want you to kn you. to the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you too. >> is this just a problem with gridlock in washington and everybody's upset with the town of washington, d.c.? it's not your policies that the american ehecht rat is upset -- the american electorate is upset about? brit hume was on with megyn kelly last night. >> i think more than he think he was trying to call
attention to the fact that less than half the electorate participated and belittle the results as not all that meaningful or important. and to take it a step further, not all that related to him. at least that's how it struck me when i heard him say it. >> i thought it was almost comical sometimes. i thought the questions were probing and direct. the president, the way he went around the answer and maybe each and every time forget the question. when he said i thought the high point, or low point was when he said i'm going to get some legislation i'm not going to sign and do some things that's going to tick you off. either you're going to really like me or really, really like me. he's going to do his own thing. there was a sense of i understand the new landscape but i'm not changing at all. is there another question? that was pretty much the tenor. one thing i thought was interesting, on the republican side there was a bit of pressure. a much different tact from mitch mcconnell. he seemed methodical, didn't seem eebility.
-- didn't seem he ebulli'nt. >> the president said i just want to hear from republicans. republicans are picking a more proactive approach and laying out what they think they'll be doing. >> john boehner and the new -- prospective -- he's probably going to be the majority leader of the senate, mitch mcconnell, they've got an op-ed in the "wall street journal" today. it says essentially the americans have entrusted republicans with control of both the house and the senate so here's how we're going to fix the economy. essentially he's saying -- they're saying let's go obama. here's what they'd like to do. fiction the -- fix the complex tax code that drives jobs overseas. we've talked about that a
lot. the highest rate in the world. they'd like to repeal the unpop har tax on medical devices, part of the affordable care act. >> and install the keystone pipeline which would bring about tens of thousands of jobs. >> these are things he thinks he can get consensus on and do this thing call passing the budget. the president, all he did was talk about was immigration. what the republicans seem to be talking about is some type of tax reform. when the president says essentially i will give you -- i will give you the motivation to do some immigration reform by legitimately threatening you with my own immigration reform if you don't do immigration reform the way i want you to. do you understand? the game is rigged according to the president. >> because essentially what he was saying is you're going to have more of the same. he talked a lot about common ground, but he didn't talk anything about compromise. keep in mind for the last two years the house of representatives has passed
hundreds of bills, and then they take them in, they wheel them in to harry reid's office, they put them on his desk and they just sit here. >> and they die. >> and they die. the message of the mid tems was clear. washington is sitting there and america thinks you're broken. our question of the day is do you think the president got the mental of the midterms? -- got the message of the midterms? is he defiant? is he in denial? you can facebook us, tweet us as well. >> a lot of times when candidates are on the campaign trail people will say is he somebody you would like to have a beer with. president obama yesterday kind of addressed that. listen to this. >> you know actually i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell. i don't know what his preferred drink is, but my interactions with mitch mcconnell, you know, he has always been very
straightforward with me. >> the one time they met face-to-face, i'm sure he was. >> in fact, a reporter during the press conference asked the president, he said how come you've only met with him a couple of times? is it because you don't like a mint julep? a bourbon? >> that is the headlines in "the daily news" today. the president says i would like some kentucky bourbon with mitch. that is kind of a charming thing to say if only at the white house correspondents dinner about a year ago the president didn't say this about having a cocktail with mitch. >> why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell, they ask. really? why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell. >> mitch mcconnell did have fun with it the next day. but let's see if they do little things where they know they can get a consensus like the x.l.
pipeline and maybe start doing real things. the first real thing would be financing the war and getting permission to fight the war or whatever we're doing right now against isis. that will be before november's out. >> meanwhile it's eight minutes after the top of the hour. and heather childers is joining us here in studio e where she has been dispatched to do the news. and we start with shocking news about somebody we listened to for many, many years. heather. >> shocking charges this morning, if you can believe it, of a acdc linked to murder. phil rod accused of hiring a hit man to kill two people in new zealand. he appeared in court. he looked disheveled. no details of the alleged plot are being revealed. we know he is being charged with possession of meth and marijuana. he is now free on bail. he will be back in court at the end of the month. breaking overnight, after going missing, the

you were a tough kid and didn't know the way and after high school kind of figured it out, didn't you? >> yes. i knew what i wanted to be which was an actress. i just worked hard and pursued it. that's what i did. that was my focus. >> it was your focus. and since then, you've become active on social media and things like that. and there are a lot of people who have bad mouthed you over the last couple of years because you, you know, you're biracial and you're supporting republicans, famously mitt romney, and stuff like that. how does that make you feel? >> you know, it just fuels my fire. i feel like race has no place in politics or anything, for that matter, at this stage in our history. we're in 2014. our president is black. it's over. it's time to move on. >> absolutely. and yet the democrats in a number of races played the race card. this was that one down in, i believe, georgia sanctioned by the democrats
state committee down there where they said essentially if you don't vote for michelle nunn we're going to have another ferguson on our hands. do you think the race card backfired on the democrats this time? >> it absolutely backfired. their race card rhetoric no longer stands and it has been shut down completely. so i don't know what they're going to do now. >> you tweeted out after mia love's big win in utah, breaking those racist sexist, #republicans just elected mia love to congress. oh wait. what's your message there? >> the message is they were the most qualified. mia love and tim scott, they were the most qualified and that is why they won, period. that's it. >> absolutely. so to the democrats or the people on the left who said wait a minute, republicans would never vote for a
black person, you say what to them? >> i guess you're wrong. they won. >> let's -- >> victory. >> let's turn that on its head. bill burton, long-term confidante of this president and former white house gierks -- guy says this about how the democrats will have to change. >> it was a tough night. if you have to take any lesson from it it is democrats will never be able to win in midterms if we don't figure out how to talk to white voters. i honestly think that's it. i don't think the message we have has been able to translate to the coalition of voters that helped bring republicans into even more power. >> that's a head scratcher. i haven't heard that one yet. the democrats aren't going to win until they can figure out how to talk to white voters. >> baffling.

can the gop do if he goes that far? we're going to ask that question to judge andrew napolitano. >> do we have a couple of hours? >> so far what -- is it within his power to give an executive order to do something as massive as revolutionizing immigration in this country? >> it is -- regrettably, it is within his power to do so. but we are still a government of laws. we are still a constitutional republic. he has taken an oath to uphold the law. if he tells the department of homeland security how to process people when they want to come in the country, he can do that. he runs the executive branch. but if he tells homeland security and border patrol look the other way when illegals come in, that is violating his oath because it's a failure to enforce the law and he took an oath to uphold the law. so if the practical effect of his executive order is the opposite of what the law requires, i hate to say this, republicans don't want to do this and i understand why, he's
a candidate for impeachment. >> what about the dream act when he said if you were brought here as a child, you can stay here and don't fear deportation? >> it's not the dream act. it's the dream executive order. he basically said there are 15 laws here. i'm only going to enforce two. you can break the other 13 and i won't go after you. so if the president decides, oh, there are 12 million illegals here? i'm going to stop deportation and send a signal to the people south of the border, come on in, we'll let you in and once you're here i won't deport you, he will be violating the law. he will be break his oath. he'll be putting a tremendous pressure on the social systems in the united states and there is nothing the congress can do about it during his presidency unless they want to kick him out. >> let's look at the number of executive orders. bush 41 had 166. bill clinton, 364. 43 had 291. this president, 184. >> sometimes executive orders are good, brian, because look, there is 3 million employees in executive department of the
government. if the president issues an executive order, he's basically saying to a class of them, here is how i want you to enforce the law. if that's consistent with the law, it's good. but if it's not consistent with the law f. it says, for example, to border patrol, look the other way, that's wrong. that's unlawful. it's then back into congress' hands to do something about it. >> right now the president said yesterday, if you don't get me a bill, i'm going to do this thing, you're saying republicans can do what? >> impeach him. i'm not suggesting they should. i'm aware of the political consequences of that. i recall what happened last time. but that is their only remedy under the constitution. now, they could deny him the funds with which could do what he wants, but they can't do it yet because the budget is a year ahead of time. so he already has those. look, just so people don't misunderstand this, he can't make them legal forever. he can only make them legal during his presidency. >> once he leaves, it's up to the new president to decide if they want to keep it there. judge andrew napolitano, we got to get some answers to this

decided not to come out to the ballot boxes? doesn't make sense. >> friday he'll have a big meeting and meet with leadership. he has a lot to do in his lame duck session. the most interesting thing is he has no idea what the republicans want. he can't wait to hear. listen. >> to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you. to the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you, too. >> that makes perfect sense. the election didn't count because the majority of americans didn't vote. actually that's not how it works, mr. president. we have elections and whoever shows up to vote, that's what counts. brit hume thought it was kind of amazing as well. here he is with megyn kelly last night. >> i think more than anything he was trying to call attention to the fact that it was a less than half of the electorate participated and thereby to belittle these results is not all that meaningful or important and to take it a step further, not all that related to him. at least that's how it struck me when i heard him say it.
>> come on, you want to hear what republicans want? how about a few hundred examples that you have from the house, these bills that got through and never got up for a vote in the senate because of harry reid. >> he put them in the shredder. >> i think a lot of democrats are frustrated because as joe manchin said yesterday, i'd like to come out and explain to my constituents how i voted. not why i didn't vote. they really have not done anything for years. so at least it's going to be back to business, back to debating, back to putting something on the president's desk and then seeing if a deal could be struck. here is what you're saying about the president's press conference yesterday. ty says i'm wondering how long before he blames bush. >> well, he's been doing that for years. >> facebook says, this is a great start for moving in the right direction and although i believe he got the message, he will not admit it, nor will he change. >> michael on facebook writes, what i heard yesterday was him still saying i'm going to do it my way. cue the frank sinatra music.

something about the debt. >> 16.2 trillion is where it was two years ago. this week 17.9 trillion. >> the good news is we are getting additional revenue in. but looking at the affordable care act, game on and look ago dodd-frank, those are some things mitch mcconnell went over and he'll talk to the president about it. they already spoke once on the phone. they're going to have a big meeting tomorrow. we'll see if we'll have anything -- if it's anything but photo ops. >> the last line of the op ed in the wall street journal by the speaker and the majority leader says the skeptics say nothing will be accomplished in the next two years as elected servants of the people, we will make it our job to prove the skeptics wrong. well, good luck. other stories make headline, we'll go down to heather childers. good morning. >> good morning. a fox news alert. philadelphia woman whose abduction was caught on camera found alive. overnight she was reunited with her family after sunday's

second term president historically in america is always tough. the president by almost all accounts got a huge message in the house and he lost the senate now. do you believe by his remarks that you just heard that he seems to get the message that things have to change? >> well, i don't know what's in his mind. i have to say that i hope that when he plans to do is to take the message that the american people don't like the course that we're on and there has to be change. he's going to have to work with republicans, not just to do the things that the president wants to do, but to do the things in a bipartisan fashion that need to be done for the american people. >> president bush said we took a thumping. and president clinton. i hear your message. did you hear any of that? >> well, i didn't. but to be fair, let's just watch what happens now. >> the president did mention his remarks that i'm ready to act with the executive action if i don't get legislation that i can sign from congress. what do you say to the possibility of executive action on immigration? >> we can't have a circumstance in which we are going after a
problem as meddlesome, as potentially divisive as immigration by executive action only. this has to go through the people's representatives. that's our system. that's the congress. >> i like to move back to the election on what it means because i know this strikes home for you. the race card was used in georgia by the democratic party. if you don't elect a democrat here, you can expect ferguson to happen. and trayvon martin as well. you can expect that in the streets if north carolina doesn't go a certain way. your reaction to that as a woman that grew up as a young girl in the south? >> the fact is, we're not race blind. of course we still have racial tensions in the country. but the united states of america has made enormous progress in race relations and it is the best place on earth to be a minority. the idea that you would play such a card and try fear mongering among minorities just because you disagree with republicans that they're somehow all racist? i find it appalling and
insulting and as a republican black woman from the south, i would say to them, really? is that really the argument that you're going to make in 2014? >> that's very interesting because senator tim scott said this. >> when i was a high school kid, i heard so often, you're just not black enough. i'm not even sure what that was supposed to mean. but simply said, too many kids today are facing a choice of dumbing down in order to fit in. >> first of all, does it mean that you're not acting black if you speak well and you're interested in things? what are we doing to our kids when we tell them that their ethnic identity has to make them unsuccessful? that, to me, is really a racist thing to say. and i've been asked many times myself. and i say i've been black all my life. you don't have to tell me how to be black. to my mind, the great thing about the united states of america is that you can be of any color, any ethnic group, any
nationality, any religion and you can have dreams and aspirations that are your own and then you can pursue them. that's when this country is about. >> people say, it's historical electing the first african-american. what do you say to people who say hillary clinton is going to run. we all know that. health allowing. i'm going to vote for her because it would be historic, i want to see the first woman. >> i always make my choices on people's policies, on what i think they'll do as president. that's the wisest course. and i just hope everyone will listen to the policy choices that candidates are putting before us. >> i couldn't help when i talked to president bush, it didn't take him long to bring his brother, jeb bush. what can you tell me about the jeb bush you know? >> i am very fond of jeb bush. i believe he's -- he's a friend. he was a terrific governor of florida. i worked with him on some immigration and education issues. it's going to be a good field, i think for the republicans. >> who excites you and intrigues you? >> i'm in a mode to listen and let people debate and let's see
who emerges and comes forward. >> what about you? >> i am a professor at stanford. i'm a happy professor at stanford. that's where i'm staying. i got the chance to be secretary of state. i'm an international relations specialist. it doesn't get better than that. i'll always find ways to serve my country, but these days, it's through work with boys and girls clubs and playing concerts for kids, and picking football teams. >> good to hear from her. we miss her. >> yeah. she's on the world scene and also, when she says picking football teams, she's on the committee that's going to pick the first college playoffs. she's going to be on the group that decides who the best teams are in the country. that with golfing and very involved in international relations. very nice of her to stop by. >> very political, that picking the four teams. >> it's harder than many things. >> speak of condoleeza rice, do you remember this "fox & friends" moment? >> she was a good sport. you know, condoleeza rice, i did

perspective will hurt anyone. >> six months after that interview right here on "fox & friends," 18-year-old sarah blair's wish came true. >> sarah just made history, becoming america's youngest state law maker elected to office in her home state of west virginia. she is 18 years old. as you can see, she won by a large margin and she joins us live this morning from charleston, west virginia. good morning to you. for the folks who are not in west virginia, are unfamiliar with your platform, you won on this, tell us your platform that you ran with your campaign out of your dorm room there at the university. >> i ran a very conservative platform. i am pro-life. i'm pro-second amendment and pro-constitution because those are my uncompromising principles. but most importantly, i wanted to bring jobs to the state of west virginia. i watched too many people my age get their high school and college education here in the state and then leave because they can't find a good paying job. and it's sad that they have to
leave their family and the wonderful state that they love. so it's most important for me to bring jobs here. >> also you're a fiscal conservative. you believe in the voter i.d. and opposed to same sex marriage. for many teen-agers, men or women who are your age, it may just study these issues for their debate class or political science class. what got you so interested in changing america and wanting to run? >> i've always been really interested in the process. my father did serve as a state senator for several years and i chatted him. i had gone to the convenience, i worked as his campaign manager and had was always something i wanted to do, but never planned at such a young age n. my junior year of high school, i attended this program and it brought 300 high school students from around the state of west virginia to our capitol, charleston, and we wrote a bill and presented it on committees, voted for it. we really got to see the
parliamentary procedure. after seeing how capable the students were of creating effective legislation that would be so positive on our state, i decided that i didn't need to wait until i was 40, 50 or 60 to run. >> why not do it now? besides, you're very effective at 18 years old and giving this particular presentation of your platform. let me ask you this: most 18-year-olds, if you watch tv, you would think they are very to the political left, a lot of progressive kids your age. are you the exception to the rule or are there a lot of fiscal conservatives your age at your school? >> there are a lot of conservatives. i think the problem is, i think they're afraid to be open about their views because of the way that they're going to be taken for it, because our generation typically is looked at to tend to be liberals. i think as more conservatives saw that it was okay to stand up for your views and you're not
going to be beat up on social media for it, then i think they will come out. so i hope that being open that it's okay to have the same views as your grandparents, i'm hoping that some more young people will stand up for their beliefs. >> great. >> sarah, we thought your story was so interesting, we had to put you on and our social media and our viewers have been pouring in with questions. this one comes from a viewer your age, scott. he says, have you had any issues or arguments with young liberals and how do you counter them? >> i do. a lot of my friends are and they don't really understand why i'm running and they disagree with my views. but i do believe that everybody has their opinion and i won't try to shove mine down their throat. but at the same time, i use facts to prove to them. our state has had the same population since 1980. we just switched over to having republican rule.
but for 84 years, we had democratic rule. and so when west virginia is ranked 49th and 50th on every positive list, number one or two on every good one, then those are the facts and there is something wrong with the democratic rule we have in our state. when you put it that way, there is not really a lot of room left to argue. >> you make a great argument. she is headed to the statehouse in west virginia. she's going to defer her spring term so that she can be there at the 60-day session. sarah blair, good luck to you and congratulations. >> thank you very much. have a good day. >> all right. 29 minutes after the hour. a company found the perfect picture of a hairy man to use four its ad campaign. it's too bad he's the master mind of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. plus, do you remember this "fox & friends" moment? >> she was a good sport, you know, condoleeza rice, i did the whole thing, the difference between the two, the tale of two

idea is to kind of look at it in the spirit of man, something really tragic happened there and i'm just kind of relating it to me personally. so i think that he's just trying o have a good time with it and not necessarily, you know, talk bad or light of those who lost lives. >> sure. and he was tying the world trade center and then what happened in boston as well. but it's tricky when you're in your business because you got to figure out is it safe to talk about now or am i going to get in trouble? it's hard for you to talk about chris rock 'cause you got a dvd with him. >> i got a movie coming out with chris rock. it's always one of these things, it's running joke where comedians go, is it too soon? >> how do you tell? >> you can tell when people go, you're going to be on the news. >> so it's too soon for that. >> so the cd you have coming out is what? >> top five coming out in theaters in early december, very funny movie. chris rock wrote and directed.

piece of my presidency to go. i'm not going to back off anything. but the issue is who is the adult in the room? who is going to show the american people that they have the capacity to lead and could work together? the republican party doesn't have to step away from what they believe in. but i think they have a great opportunity to show that they are about reconciliation. they are about leadership. they are about bringing people together in a way that works for this country. so if the president will stick to what he said yesterday, that's a wonderful thing in this country because people are sick and tired of the division and the deadlock and they're sick and tired of the democrats blaming republicans for that division and deadlock. that showed in this election. so if he in truth wants to stickie what he said, that would be a great thing for all of us. if he doesn't, then we'll have that partisan deadlock. but the republicans, through mitch mcconnell and john
boehner can step up and be the smart people in washington and say, listen, you can push us, you can trash us, you can make fun of us, you can have your media outlets go after us, but we stand for first principles and the american people and we're going to make it work and we're going to show you that we can make it work in the next presidential, too. >> what the president said yesterday was he said wherever we can find common ground. he didn't say anything about compromising. see, when he ran for president, he said i'm going to go to washington and i'm going to change it and i'm gonna compromise. you know what? he won't use that word. >> he's not going to use that word. and presidents have lost midterm elections in the past. reagan did. eisenhower did, roosevelt did. they went on to do things. hopefully the president will go on to do things with a republican congress. that's what americans want. they don't want division. they don't want deadlock. they want the president to step up. it appears that the republicans are willing to do that, who is the adult in the room? we want them all to be adults.
but sometimes it takes one to remind all the others. so we're looking for mitch mcconnell and john boehner to lead the president by the hand and say, hey, let's do reagan and at this point o'neill all over again. >> thank you, sir. >> good to see you. next up, john stossel says he's got a bone to pick with ann coulter. why? you'll find out. first this day in history back in 1979, the eagles had the number one song in america "heartache tonight." ♪ ♪ your mission? a homemade dinner in thirty minutes. go! your method? new campbell's® soups for easy cooking. helping you cook recipes like speedy sausage rigatoni in just thirty minutes! dinner accomplished. try new campbell's® soups for easy cooking.

good morning. today is thursday, the 6th of november, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. her abduction caught on camera. but this morning that woman has been found alive. >> somebody come get her. told me she loves me and come get her. >> what do police now know about her kidnapper? we are live at her home with the developing details. when you take a look at that map right there, a blue and red states. it's a clear blow to the democrats because there is more red there. but it's not so clear to the president. he says that the people who voted on tuesday are the minority. >> to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you. to the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate i in te process yesterday, i hear you, too. >> so he hears everybody. but it kind of sounds like he's in denial or being defiant. we're going to tell but it and you'll decide. then the marine just freed from a mexican jail now speaking out about the wrong turn that
landed him behind bars for eight months. >> they were very helpful and then it shifted. and then i knew this could be bad. >> wow. greta van susteren helped sergeant tahmoreesi home and is here live with -- with more of her exclusive interview because greta knows that mornings are better with friends. where you going? >> i left something over there. >> this just in, my notes. thank you. >> usually they're lost by this hour. >> thank you very much. >> anna, thank you for joining us on a rainy day here in new york city. >> dry inside and we've got a lot of news going on today. >> president started -- mitch mcconnell started at 2:00 o'clock eastern time. the president came out on time about 2:50 and spoke for over an hour, after a statement, taking questions. even talked to ed henry.
old friends. here is a little of how the president's tone and tenure after speaking out for the first time after losing an additional -- actually expanding the republican advantage in the house and then losing the senate. listen. >> to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you. to the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you, too. >> so what happened on tuesday, it was a landslide, mr. president, for the republicans. doesn't really matter because a third of the country voted and two-thirds of the country didn't. what? well, that's not how things work. brit hume knows that. megyn kelly heard that. listen. >> i think more than anything, he was trying to call attention to the fact that it was less than half of the electorate participated and thereby to belittle these results is not all that meaningful or important and to take it a step further, not all that related to him. at least that's how it struck me
when i heard him say it. >> it was crazy. >> yeah. and he's not really making any apologies. he's not making any staff changes that we know of at the moment. and it appears that the american people are no longer buying the democratic agenda and what the president is selling. but the president appears to be in denial about all of it. >> he says the things that you would think, as you're listening to the tone and his delivery, you think wow, he seems so reasonable. but if you listen to the words and actually read the transcript, he says things like, i'm going to get things on my desk and i'm not going to sign them. and i'm going to sign things that are going to tick you off. how about that for compromise? if you put something on my desk that i like, great. you can meet me halfway on certain things, i'm willing to give here, i heard none of that. the questions were great. the answers were nothing to do with the questions. >> the answers were typical, what we get with this president at these press conferences. yesterday we were expecting him to have a conciliatory tone.
they got whooped, the democrats did. the republican high school a really good night and they've got two years on the clock now. essentially the president said it's either my way or the highway. remember, he got elected back in 2008 by saying, i'm going to change the way washington works. right now it's dysfunctional because john boehner passed the stuff, gives it over to harry reid and harry reid sits on it. nothing goes to the president's desk. now because they control both houses, things will go to the president's desk. this is -- there is a light at the end of the tunnel. something might actually get done, until the president yesterday kind of poopooed it and said let's see what the republicans have in mind. >> it's also interesting that they're going to vote on things. we're going to have something more to report on. people like mike emmanuel will have to go there because there will be stuff to do. right now he goes there and everyone stares at each other. the question is, will mitch mcconnell reverse that nuclear option that harry reid put into place that said you no longer need 60 votes to get someone
nominated fulfilled or other issues. will he go, i think it should have been in place and harry reid shouldn't have done that or now that harry reid left it here, let's see how it feels? >> if you remember during this election cycle leading up to it, the president said my issues, my policies are on the ballot. my name might not be, but my policies are. yet somehow the voter turnout is -- meaning there is no referendum on all of your policies and the people that follow your marching orders. >> my name, my policies, my lanta. essentially i'm sure he's upset about it, but he didn't let on to it. we asked you what you thought. did he get the message? larry on facebook wrote, it's not him getting the message. it's that he doesn't care about the message. >> bonnie says, he got the message, but has already said he has a pen and will use it for his own agenda. >> i nomar cuss seemed happy yesterday. there is a lot of things talk being with the budget. green lighting keystone pipeline. and other things that could be out there. i thought it was interesting
that mitch mcconnell and john boehner somehow found some time to write together and their editorial appeared in the "wall street journal" that revealed their agenda. >> the first thing they're going to get to is fix that complex tax code that drives jobs overseas. so many small businesses have been sitting on cash, worried about what's around the corner and nothing -- not making business decisions. >> democrats and republicans both know that medical device tax is unpopular in the affordable care act. so get rid of it, mr. president. let's go. >> and if you would just approve the keystone xl pipeline, there would be tens of thousands of jobs created. >> he says we're still studying it, but we're almost unstudying it. excess regulation, we're going to see if the epa puts things forward and if the environmental committees in the senate can stop it. also some investigations sure to happen. he also says this, something that you thought would be a natural, pass a budget and address the debt. keep in mind that whole tax reform thing, it's ready to go out of the house.
there is some promising things that democrats are saying about it. very curious to see what happens in the senate and if it ends up on the president's desk. >> people always say that christmas comes earlier every single year. it seems like elections come earlier every year, too. unbelievable, rand paul on the day after the election, he appears to already be looking ahead two years. >> they're off! take a look at his facebook page. he has bestowed the honor of a number of #hillarylosers to people that she traveled around the country and campaigned for, but simply lost. according to mr. paul, the senator, he says tuesday's biggest loser is hillary clinton. keep in mind, the clintons were the secret weapon for a number of senate candidates and as it turns out, those candidates flat out lost. >> one of the things, if hillary does run, which everybody -- >> she's running! >> when she goes to all these states and these hotly contested
races that her candidate lost, they're not going to be heavy hitters the way they would if they're in public office if they're a citizen like you and me. >> right. there she is with al franken, who actually did win. hillary clinton probably the best thing to to happen to her candidacy is have a republican senate and house. this way she could say this is the way i would do it different as opposed to, i'm just like the president and he has 40% approval rating. meanwhile, heather childers is here with other things happening in the world. >> yeah. we have other headlines that we've been following for you. rather shocking charges. the drummer of ac/dc linked to murder? phil rudd accused of hiring a hit man to kill two people in new zealand. he appeared in court looking not even wearing any shoes. no other details about the alleged plot are being revealed. but we do know he's also charged with possession of meth and marijuana. the 60-year-old is now free on bail. breaking news overnight, two years after going missing, the body of the 20th century fox

better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take.

that's never been done before in colorado and perhaps any campaign around the country for republicans. we went into communities, asian community, hispanic communities and made sure that our message was heard. we talked about how when our party is broken, we're going to say it and fix it. so it really was a message as i think you haven't heard before from a republican candidate. >> regarding that, where is the republican party broken? >> i think it's broken a number of areas. energy, we have to talk more about traditional energy, yes. keystone pipeline, yes, but also talk about renewable energy. free market way to move forward. when it comes to reaching out into communities, we can't simply be against immigration reform. we've got to figure out a way to be for immigration reform. these are things that we can move forward on and that's how we won this election. we talked about shaking things up, new generation of leadership. that's what this country wants. >> okay. also i want to get your reaction to the president's press conference yesterday. many pundits have been saying the president doesn't appear to be hearing the american people, although all of his policies
essentially got the thumbs down. what do you think? >> i think there is two ways for the president. he could either agree and help work this country's greatest problems along with the house and the senate. we'll put a number of bills on his desk to do just that.ç if he doesn't, it's going to show the american people that he and his party are refusing to work with us. if he does, then it shows that we are willing to work with people across the aisle in 2016 and that will help us as well for our nominee, whoever he or she is. the fact is, we can make a difference in 2016 and i think there is two paths forward. either the president becomes a president of obstruction or seen as working with the republican party. >> why is it -- it wasn't too long ago when the democratic party had their convention in colorado and many thought it was curtains for the republicans. where did you go that other republicans didn't go and what was it about you that broke through? >> we really talked about an apt mystic message. we talked about lifting people's eyes up to the rocky mountn horizon that this is every
state. the fact for colorado is if you don't put together that vision, if you don't put together that positive idea of how we're going to have brighter day tomorrow, people don't want you there 'cause they can be angry or upset all day long. but they want somebody who is going to be presenting a positive image about what we can do for our country because this is a positive, optimistic state. that's the message we presented. and that's the kind of thing that republicans around the country need to do. put together a positive agenda that is about moving forward instead of just being about opposition. >> people liked your message in colorado. that's why you are the senator-elect. cory gardner going without a tie today. thank you very much. congratulations and good luck. >> thanks for having me. coming up straight ahead, condoleeza rice firing back at democrats who used race in the mid terms. >> i have been black all my life. you don't have to tell me how to be black. >> my exclusive interview with the former secretary of state straight ahead. first, you remember them, mortgage disaster's freddy and

and freddy, there was an announcement that they decided they're going to go back and look at those people who what we called strategically foreclosed. what that means, there are people during the crisis that had the money to make the payments on the house, but saw other people who basically were aligning their homes to go also and now fannie and freddiey and the lenders are going back and finding these people. how they're going to do it, i'm not sure and go after them for the deficiencies, which is very, very crucial in america for those people who rebuilt their credit. >> some of our viewers are waking up going, wait a minute. i might be fitting into that category. how do they fit? >> they will look at -- unfortunately, when we sign all these paper and all -- remember, for our viewers to understand, fannie and freddie, they either own the loans or they guaranteed the loan that you have. so they have looked at it and sort of aging these accounts and they lost a lot of money. they paid a lot of money out.
they're going to go back and pull credit reports because we sign all these different things, believe it or not. we have give them access to a lot of our personal information. and they will go and figure this out over what period of time, i'm not sure. and i'm not really sure what the criteria is going to be. but i will say to you and the reason i want to bring this to the viewers' attention, if they start getting notices from attorneys to collect money, or collection agencies, then this could be the issue that they're going after these people from years ago, which is very frustrating to those people who have started to rebuild their credit. >> so if you go to your mailbox today and you open it up and you pull out one of these notices, what's the next step for you? >> well, look, first of all, don't put your head in the ground. find a lawyer in that area that could look at this stuff. here is what my concern is, look, we know there is consumers years ago that should not have owned three or four homes. there was some consumer responsibility.
there are some consumers that did strategically defaulted and said the heck with everybody else, nobody is helping me, i'm going to let my home go. my concern is that you could see an onslaught of bankruptcies again. you could see an onslaught of those people who have jobs, built their credit up, now all of a sudden they're going after them for this deficiency where they either getued or collection. so my concern is that respond to it. don't look away from it. don't let them pull you back in. be pro-active on it to try to resolve these issues before your credit does get bashed all over again. but it is a concern. it is a concern. >> very often you take our viewers' e-mails and questions. folks, e-mail us. bob, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. 28 minutes after the hour. coming up, it's a fox news exclusive. the marine locked in a mexican jail for eight months speaking out for the first time. >> they were very helpful and then it shifted and then i knew

spot lights on problems. it's a great thing about our jobs. >> he knew you were fighting for him. did he express that gratitude before the interview started? >> when i first met him, he said, could i hug you? so i said sure. so he gave me a big hug. this is a very troubled man. i'm very worried about this one because he expressed to me that he's paranoid, that he's been paranoid in the past. throwing him in solitary confinement in a mexican prison was a really lousy idea. now he's out. he has had access to guns. i'm putting up a big red warning sign to the v.a. help this man. there are thousands and thousands of young men and women who have come back from war. they have seen the unthinkable. they've had buddies die in their arms. and they're young kids. some of them are 18, 19, 20 years old. but this man, he really needs help. two tours in vietnam an ied blew up his vehicle. i'm warning everybody, help this man before there is further problems and help others.

one of the frustrating things about this was when beau bergdahl was sprung, the president said we don't leave a man behind. yet to so many americans, it looked like this guy, sergeant tahmoreesi, abandoned by his own government. we're on cable shows talking about him and it didn't seem like the official federal government was trying to help him out. >> i deeply disappointed with the obama administration on this. the reason he was released is because he has ptsd. it didn't take 2u 14 days to figure that out. just listen to him. but the mexican government waited that long. the united states government waited that long. this is very -- it's the very reason he was released and you figured that out in 15 seconds listening to that video. so i do not understand why this took so long. mexico could have deported him. we deport people all the time. i'm not suggesting it's a good idea to bring guns into mexico. it is not. it's against the law. but sometimes we got to be smart about this stuff. >> all right. greta van susteren, going to be watching you tonight at 7:00 o'clock for more on that

accounts got a huge message in the house and he lost the senate now. do you believe by his remarks that you just heard that he seems to get the message that things have to change? >> i don't know what's in his mind. i have to say that i hope that what he plans to do is to take the message that the american people don't like the course that we're on and there has to be change. he's going to have to work with republicans, not just to do the things that the president wants to do, but to do the things in a bipartisan fashion that need to be done for the american people. >> president bush said we took a thumping and president clinton, i hear your message. did you hear any of that? >> well, i didn't. but to be fair, let's just watch what happens now. >> the president did mention in his remarks that i'm ready to act with the executive action if i don't get legislation that i can sign from congress. what do you say to the possibility of executive action on immigration? >> we can't have a circumstance in which we are going after a problem as meddlesome, as potentially divisive as
immigration by executive action only. this has to go through the people's representatives. that's our system. that's the congress. >> i like to move back to the election on what it means because i know this strikes home for you. the race card was used in georgia by the democratic party. if you don't elect a democrat here, you can expect ferguson to happen. >> i'm appalled. >> and trayvon martin as well. you can expect that in the streets if in north carolina doesn't go a certain way. your reaction to that as a woman that grew up as a young girl in the south? >> the fact is, we're not race till have racial tensions in the country. but the united states of america has made enormous progress in race relations and it is the best place on earth to be a minority. the idea that you would play such a card and try fear mongering among minorities just because you disagree with republicans that they're somehow all racist? i find it appalling. i find it insulting. and as a republican black woman from the south, i would say to
them, really? is that really the argument that you're going to make in 2014? >> that's very interesting because senator tim scott said this. >> when i was a high school kid, i heard so often, you're just not black enough. i'm not even sure what that was supposed to mean. but simply said, too many kids today are facing a choice of dumbing down in order to fit in. >> first of all, does it mean that you're not acting black if you speak well and you're interested in -- what are we doing to our kids when we tell them that their ethnic identity has to make them unsuccessful? that, to me, is really a racist thing to say. and i've been asked many times myself. and i say, look, i've been black all my life. you don't have to tell me how to be black. to my mind, the great thing about the united states of thatf any color, any ethnic group, any nationality, any religion and you can have dreams and aspirations that are your own
and then you can pursue them. that's what this country is about. >> people say, it's historical electing the first african-american. what do you say to people watching us right now who say, hillary clinton is going to run. we all know that. health allowing. i'm going to vote for her because it would be historic. i want to see the first woman. what would you say to that? >> i always make my choices as a voter on people's policies, on what i think they'll do as president. and that's the wisest course and i just hope everyone will listen to the policy choices that candidates are putting before us. >> i couldn't help when i talked to president bush, it didn't take him long to bring up his brother, jeb bush. what could you tell about the jeb bush you know and the chances of him running? >> i am very fond of jeb bush. i believe he's -- he's a friend. he was a terrific governor of florida. i work with him on some immigration and education issues. it's going to be a good field, i think for the republicans. >> who excites you? >> well, i'm in a mode to listen and let people debate and let's see who emerges and comes forward. >> what about you?
>> i am a professor at stanford. i'm a happy professor at stanford. that's where i'm staying. i got the chance to be secretary of state. i'm an international relations specialist. it doesn't get better than that. i'll always find ways to serve my country. but these days it's through work with boys and girls clubs and playing concerts for kids -- and pick football teams. >> she's part of the final four committee who will pick the first ever college football -- final four college football teams. a little later, you'll hear more from the interview, probably on monday on when he talks about international relations, the state of the world and what it is like now that we've moved off center stage and how the rest of the world has responded. you can only imagine. >> she's classy. great interview. >> great job. it is about ten minutes before the top of the hour. straight ahead, your kids are never going to be late to school again. up next, the guy who built that bus and why. >> let's first check in with martha mccallum. she's going to tell us what is coming up on her show in 11
minutes. >> good morning. good to see you. so the wave election leaves mcconnell and boehner very fired up this morning. so how will the president react when the bills on the xl pipeline and health care start landing on his desk? we are going to ask the white house press secretary, josh earnest those questions. and colonel ralph peters is here on the increasing threat from isis. and darrell issa on the fast and furious documents that interestingly were let go on election day. we'll talk about that when bill and i see you at the top of the hour makes thermacare different? two words: it heals. how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you. shyou see this right? it's 80% confidence and 64% knee brace. that's more... shh... i know that's more than 100%. but that's what winners give. now bicycle kick your old 401(k) into an ira.

>> there was epstein, washington and barberino. >> you tune to a news channel for the news, and for that we turn to heather nauert. >> we've got breaking news from the south. parts of it we're talking about could be weather related. we begin with a fox news alert. there was a gas explosion and it hit a florida jail leaving two inmates dead this morning. more than 100 prisoners and corrections officers have been hurt. this happened in pensacola, florida. the explosion inside the jail central booking area caused part of it to collapse. no word on what causedç the blast but that area has been hit with heavy flooding. we'll keep you posted. millions of folks across the east coast are in the grip of a storm that just won't quit. relentless rain in pensacola, florida, causing this road to collapse, swallowing a truck.
the driver inside that truck managed to make it out believe. mobile, alabama, an elderly woman was one of those who had to be rescued. fire fighters carried her to safety after her car was stranded on a flooded street. a little girl in a kayak in her family livingç room. her family was trapped in their home in two feet of water. the only way to try to keep that little girl dry. >> in a botched execution of an oklahoma inmate, sparking a lot of outrage this morning and now calls for moratoriums on legal injections. witnesses at the execution report a grizzly scene after one of his veins ruptured when he was injected with an experimental cocktail of lethal drugs. >> he was trying to move his head up from the gurney, trying to move his shoulders from the gurney and moving his legs. this is when they closed the curtain because it became very clear that
whatever was happening was too dramatic for the media to see. >> the guy died 45 minutes later of a heart attack. a boat washed ashore in washington state and it could be from that deadly trenami two years ago. boat was covered in vegetation and shells. police say there are some sort of asian symbols on the hull of the boat leading to speculation it was from the tsunami. those are your headlines. i'll be back with more later. >> heather, thank you very much. brian, let's talk little bit about benghazi. at fox, we've been telling you this is a story we personally have talked to people who were there. we have heard stories about what's gone on. now it has started"uz hit the fan. with that e-mail that was released by the white house to judicial watch after they sued them, we now know that the white house had a conspiracy where essentially what they were trying to do was change the
story. let's blame that video; right, on what happened over in libya, in benghazi on that night where four brave americans died. well, now we know that there was a coverup as well because they had redacted, they crossed out all the stuff. then finally we got to see it. yesterday the white house press corps had it up to here. they realized they had been lied to for over a year and it even came down to where jay carney, who apparently is not paid enough because he tries to do a good job for the administration, he said that the benghazi memo that they prepared for susan rice before she went out on the sundayç shows, it wasn't about benghazi, even though at the top of it it said "benghazi." here's jonathan carl. >> you knew full well what susan rice primarily was going to be asked about was the attack, terrorist attack on a u.s. consolate. ambassador rice went on those shows and said the
attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over an internet video. we now know that was not true. >> i would point you to what mike morrell said repeatedly in testimony about the?x(áqpáion of the talking points. >> morrell said last month, when he heard that he said that is not something our analysts said. it came from the white house; right? >> you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> the topic was a prep call, prep with susan, meaning susan rice. it was sent at 4:00 saturday for sunday appearances. what i think is so exasperating, they rolled it in delayed on our channel, i think what is exasperating is you're trying to write a story, trying to follow through and you're trying to wonder if the guy talking to you
and explaining it has read into the reality of it. but you've got to go with what he says. jay carney was on that e-mail when itç seems ben rhodes whose goal was to take this incident that blew up and try to find a way to spin it in which the administration doesn't look back and makes it look like they're tough on terror. bin laden is dead and al qaeda is on the run. you can't say that and beat mitt romney if that is not true. if the truth came out about tkpwepbgz on september 14 -- about benghazi on september 14 that in fact would not have been true. how different would that debate have been if they had been able to look at the situation and sayç guys -- >> you mean how would the debate have been if the white house told the truth? >> it looks like they did know the truth and was trying to spin it behind the scenes. >> the mainstream media didn't cover it in prime time, newspapers didn't cover it on the front page,
although we did see it in "usa today" but it does appear the mainstream media is having a hard time covering it anymore. are they trying to protect hillary clinton in the next general election? is that it? or do they think this is a fox story that is tired and the american people are sick of hearing it. it proves fnc has been right all along and we should have been covering it. lindsey graham said last night this certainly is a smoking gun. >> this is proof positive that right after the attack, three days after the attack,ç they did not give a damn about the intelligence. they wanted to create a political narrative to protect the president and i think most americans find that offensive and i'm not going to stop until somebody is held accountable for allowing it to be a death trap, somebody be fired for not coming to the aid of these people for at least nine and a half hours and somebody be fired for not protecting the american people. and i don't believe ben rhodes did this by himself.
somebody in the white house higher up than this concocted this story because they were worried about the reelection. when susan rice said i have no regrets, i gave the american people theç best evidence available, that is a bald-faced lie. >> i'd like to see jay carney wired up to a lie detector. i'm kidding. jay carney said that particular prep memo was not about benghazi. yet the top line says benghazi. the other part, lindsey graham spoke about this last night, in it it says this, quote, the investigation is ongoing and the u.s. government is working with libyan authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the death of u.s. citizens. jay carney had been suggesting that was about the unrest at all the other embassies on 9/11 because of the video. but this particular thing that was circulated by ben rhodes and he's probably just the messenger, carney
suggesting it was general unrest. and yetç specifically in the document it talked about americans who died, only died i. jay carney, if he, if it wasn't about benghazi, it sure looks like it. >> if it was ed henry, he would have taken a shot at fox. instead it was jonathan carl. you saw jay carney's wheels spinning thinking, rather than answering the question, he paused and said i have no answer to your question. >> there were four other guys that asked questions about it. let's go toç gentleman's quarterly magazine. they are the ones who generally tell you how to get rid of that pimple real fast. >> also pull out the cologne and rub it on yourself and prepare tend you bought the bottle. >> yesterday they were talking about who should buy the l.a. clippers. they talked a little bit about donald sterling.
what they wound up doing was they said essentially, they insinuated that if you are a conservative you are a racist. >> this tweet went out and said good luck to donald sterling with whatever show he ends up hosting on fox news probably. how does that make us feel as fox news employees? are you kidding me? how does it make you feel as a fox news channel viewer? what do you think about this? e-mail us at fox news.com. does that mean if you're a conservative, you're a racist? >> it's interesting. in whatever blog we saw fellow, or gal wrote this, g.q. magazine you continue to insult half of your readers who are conservatives by assuming they are racists. hash tag unprofessional. >> here's another. i'm glad i no longer get you. >> g.q., maybe you ought to

a taste experience like no other. in cheesy, creamy, homestyle, or garden sauce. friskies. feed the senses. the city of detroit is in turmoil as it faces one of the worst financial problems in our history as a country. after filingç for bankruptcy last summer, the city is
now more than $18 billion in debt. and last year the budget deficit hit $380 million. but they're not alone. outside of detroit ten other american cities have filed for bankruptcy since 2008. so is this trend sure to continue? and what can other cities do to avoid these fiscal pitfalls? here with us now to weigh in is the author of a brand-new book "so much to do." richard ravage.ç richard, good morning to you. >> pleased to be here. >> we see this all across the country. it's not just detroit. it's a lot of towns and states that borrow way more money than they could possibly pay back. >> that unfortunately is the case. the reason new york city almost went bankrupt in 1975 is for the previous seven or eight years it borrowed to cover its deficits, just as it is perfectly okay to borrow to buy a home.
but it doesn't work if you have to keep borrowing to pay for your dinner. that's what got new york into trouble and that's what's getting a lot of other cities into trouble. but the fundamental underlying reason for it is that there's an enormous fiscal squeeze. retirement expenditures and health care expenditures are rising a lot faster than revenues. and federal budget cuts add states face. >> in the last year or so there have been some cities, including detroit -- and i know you can't specifically talk about the detroit situation because you're helping them out. but there have been other states that have suggested we need to turn to the federal government. and they need to bail us out. back in 1975 essentially new york city got kind of a federal bailout. we -- we, the federal government -- lent new york city a whole bunch of dough to dig themselves out of the hole. what about going forward now? you've got to figure in the back of some people's mind, like california, illinois,
they're all thinking if things get reallyç bad, we can turn to the feds. >> the feds have turned down california at a point a couple of years ago when they were in the most serious shape. i don't think that's forthcoming. what happened in new york in 1975 was the crisis started in may, at least that's when it became visible. the state of new york stepped forth, did a lot of things to help the city of new york, took over a lot of functions, paid a lot of costs. we had a governor who was brilliant politically and brilliant financially. and as a consequence, even though jerry ford in october said what the daily news characterized as ford to city: drop dead. a very famous line which sort of rattled the white; @&c@ house. and a month later gerry ford agreed to a loan.
and that was a loan that never cost the federal government a dime. they charged 100 basis points more than their cost of money and they were paid back immediately. spaeup -- >> that's good. of course the country is in much different financial straits. we have a debt of trillions. check out his book "so much to bear." coming up, a story we've been following. dozens of veteransç died waiting for care at a v.a. hospital. captain pete hegseth is here to talk about denying those deadly secrets. he got a d in biology. his parents say it's the school's fault. now they're suing the school. what? that story is coming up. ♪ ♪

places across florida and georgia and alabama. across parts of the u.s. you could still beç looking at more rain and some of the storms could produce severe weather. the storm is exiting but we have the threat of severe weather. we want to remind everyone what happens if you are caught in your car during a flash flood, an image so common with this storm system we've seen across parts of florida and alabama. they sell window hammers. these window hammers, what they're used for is to break windows of your car so if you happen to get caught in a flash flood this is a tool that could save your life. a window hammer, you canç buy it at many retail stores. that could be a lifesaver across many of these states. make sure to have one of those if you know there is a storm system headed your way that could produce flash flooding or if you live in a flood-prone area. let's head back inside. >> good advice. if you are in a flooded car, you might have to break the window.

joining us is fox news senior judicial analyst andrew napolitano. judge, wh@d is the pweflt way to -- best way to get the facts? >> the answer to both questions you asked, is it time for the justice department to appoint a special counsel and is it time for congress to do more? the answer to both questions is the same. profoundly yes. i'll tell you why. i watched karl rove on o'reilly last night and reread the e-mail and karl said a profound thing. having been there, having worked in the white house, having worked for a president wh build a wall around themselves because the federal law prohibits federal employees except the president and vice president themselves from engaging in politics. hear me out. if the e-mail that ben rhodes sent made its way to the political campaign -- remember, this is at the height of the president's reelection campaign. at this point it looks like mitt romney is at least even with the president soç the president's people are running scared.
if that campaign was intended for and sent by mr. rhodes, if that e-mail was intended for and sent by mr. rhodes, that is a felony, a violation of what's called the hatch act which is a federal statute that prohibits all federal employees except two from engaging in politics on the job. those two are the president and vice president. not anybody who works for them. that would be determined by a special counsel. the justice department will never dig deep enough on one of its own for that. >> if you have to appoint a special prosecutor, is that going to happen with theç valerie plame situation when president bush's attorney general said i can't do the investigation. and president bush said this weird thing. he told everybody to cooperate, and they did. now you have a situation, a very similar situation, different incident. how do we get to the bottom of this? >> if attorney general holder will not appoint a special prosecutor, you're not going to like the answer to this. i don't like the answer and people watching this are not going to like the answer, i think.
if the attorney general won't do so and the president won't order him, there is no way to compel him. >> what could the house do? >> the house of representatives could stop having politicians ask questions of the people that know about this and hire a serious trial lawyer with great cross-examination experience. i'll suggest a name. mike chertoff. michael chertoff, former secretary of homeland security, former special advisor, form federalç judge, one of the greatest prosecutors in our era, he knows how to ask questions. believe me, brian, hillary clinton is not going to be able to make speeches when mike chertoff is cross-examining her. >> will he have subpoena power to make people come? >> yes. he won't have the power to indict, which a special prosecutor would. but they would have the power to expose, to compel answers. and believe me mike chertoff, there are others, he's the best known, knows how to ask questions. >> are we overstating what has come down the pike and been exposed or do you think this is a major move

at documents we've been asking for that you had to be sued to cough up. >> yeah. they're pressing jay carney on this who was copied on the e-mail, along with david plouffe , and about a dozen of president obama's closest confidantes. so yesterday even the mainstream media, jonathon karl pressing him pretty hard. listen. >> you knew full well it was susan rice primarily was going to be asked about that attack, terrorist attack on a u.s. consulate in benghazi. she witness on the shows and she said that the attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over internet video. we now know that was not true -- >> i would point you to what mike morell has said repeatedly in testimony about the creation of these talking points. >> just last month, when he heard that, he said that's not something our analyst said. now he said it came from the
white house. right? >> john, no. you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> okay. so there is jay carney talking points memo was not about benghazi. good try, jay, because up at the top of it, it says the topic, benghazi. jonathon karl was not the only person from the mainstream media who asked really hard questions. like we said, for over a year, those people have been lied to, the reporters and whatnot. keep in mind, last year the white house released what they said was a complete set of the documents. and then it turns out there was this. because so many things had been redacted, had been crossed out. so it looks like there was a cover-up because something was unclassified, then they unclassified it. sounds like the white house
lawyer who did that. then it was all about ultimately a conspiracy to change the topic, blame the video, not the fact that it was terrorism as well. you know, here at fox, some of our critics have said, why are you covering that? there is no there there. this proves there is some there there. lindsey graham has been criticized as well. and he responded to that last night on "special report". >> my response is that if i am doing something wrong for political reasons, i should have egg on my face and i should be punished by the people in south carolina. if what he is saying is a bold faced lie and that i'm correct that this administration hid the truth from the american people about a coordinated terrorist attack 'cause they were more worried about the president's reelection than telling the truth to the american people about why four people died, they need to be held accountable. when i wanted to get to the bottom of gitmo, i was a hero. when i challenged the torture policies of the bush administration 'cause i had been
a military lawyer, i was doing the country a service. you've got americans in harm's way as i speak tonight. many of them in uniform and throughout the foreign service feel like they've been let down by their government and the colleagues that serve their country that their death has been dishonored and what happened was distorted for political reasons. if for no other reason, somebody needs to be held accountable about lying for those who died. >> and why they were never rescued and why no one has ever been brought to justice. can you imagine there is some other communication that reveals why rescue operations were never put into play. >> this story is largely been called something that fox news channel covers, just a fox story. and there are a couple different schools of thought on why the mainstream media hasn't been covering it. have they not been covering it because they don't think it's a story anymore, that there is no scandal there? are they not covering it because the american people aren't interested in it? or are they doing it because
they are trying to protect the president or trying to protect hillary clinton should she try to run, which all indications are she will? so are we going to start to see more of this or is this going to continue to be something that we have to press here at fox news channel? >> i think a lot of the mainstream media has to pick up the ball and they did yesterday. let's see if they follow through, if their bosses let them cover the story. meanwhile, speaking of bald face lies, it sounds like the university of california-san diego has figured out some sort of technology or something like that to tell whether or not somebody is in pain and ultimately lying. >> right. so this is a. >> thing to do at work, if your co-worker is trying to say no, i wasn't the one who broke the printser. or if your kid is saying, i'm hurt or i'm sick, i can't go to school and they're grimacing in pain. take a look at this. >> i got to pick out who is lying? >> the guy on the left or right
is really not feeling well. >> one of them is faking it. >> one guy is laughing. >> one guy is kind of gritting his teeth. i'm going to go with the guy on the right. >> what's the question? >> who is faking it? >> well, according to the study, the one who is really in pain is this guy. researchers say notice how his mouth is tight and raised. this guy -- >> that was real. i was right! the guy on the right was faking it. >> when someone is faking their pain, they open their mouth at regular intervals. so next time there is like a foul in basketball or something and the player goes oh, oh, now we know. >> there was a problem with people taking diets in soccer. >> i think the nba has other problems -- >> i'm not sure. >> it has to do with open mouths. >> the results in the study are showing 50% of humans are able

do. but so does she regarding benghazi and to your points, she's got to explain why she has so whole heartedly embraced the president's policies, which led touts gdp yesterday of .1? >> there is a taints with barak obama right now. not just the business communities. his poll numbers are lousy. i think it was two weeks ago i was saying she has to decide whether she's going to run and she knows her biggest challenge is overcoming the obama economic legacy. the economy could be really -- by the way, economic cycles run in seven years. yes, we've had a lousy recovery, but we still had a recovery. suppose in a year from now, six months, the economy starts going negatively. we had a .1% gdp prints. >> that's as good as it got. >> and she's got to run on that. >> if hillary does not run. some are suggesting elizabeth and wall street loves her.
>> they shouldn't be calling it. they don't like her. >> why not? >> she was for all those massive regulations, that new consumer protection agency she pushed. let's face it, she's maybe to the left of the president. >> and that's hard to do. >> our mayor comrade. charlie does join us on thursday and it's #throwbackthursday. charlie, tell us about five-year-old you there. where are you? >> in my mother's apartment in the bronks. you can tell, there is the couch with the plastic on it. >> are you wearing black socks? >> black socks. i'm channeling my inner elliott spitzer rights there. >> let me get this straight. we're putting a picture of you on television in your underwear? >> you put it on. not me. they asked me for a picture. >> you gave us the picture! >> no, i showed you the picture and you chose to put it on.

diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions.
taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. we've got a fox news alert. a gas explosion rocked a florida jail leaving two dead and injured more than 100. massive flooding in the area. as of now, the cause is unknown. jonathan serrie is live on the scene. tell us what's going on there.
>> reporter: yeah. absolutely. the atf in florida fire marshal are on scene to determine the cause of this explosion. if you look at the building behind me, the county jail, you can see visible damage there from the massive explosion that central time. again, the cause unknown. however, based on the preliminary investigation, local officials believe that it may be related to extensive flooding in this area. there was water on the ground floor of the jail here from a massive storm system that came through here earlier in the week, dumping heavy amounts of water in this part of florida. two inmates are dead. officials say 100 to 150 other inmates were injured, or 100 to 150 others were injured. that includes both inmates and corrections officers. at the time there were a total of 600 inmates inside the building. about 400 men, 200 women. those who were injured were
brought to area hospitals. knows who were not injured have been brought to other detention facilities. authorities went into the building and swept it three times so they believe that all of the inmates and all of the staff are accounted for. but now the question is what caused this explosion in the central booking facility of the county jail. again, the atf and florida fire marshal investigating that at this hour. back to you. >> i bet they are. jonathan with the very latest, thank you. >> a lot of breaking news this morning. incredible new images out of pensacola, florida. nearly two feet of rain turning this roadway into a river, washing away cars and stranding drivers. >> the same storm pounding baltimore, maryland r -- where a sink hole the size of a city block opened up. ten in all cars wound up on a freight line. thankfully, nobody hurt because nobody was inside any of the vehicles. >> get this, more rain on the way. maria molina here right now, who
is following these storm, is finally back in new york city. great job. tell us what's happening now. >> we expect several more inches of rain across parts of northern florida, georgia, and parts of alabama. these are areas that were hit hard by flooding. i want to mention that the same storm system that produced the flooding along parts of the gulf coast is the one responsible for the tornado outbreak earlier this week and also over the weekend and that tornado that moved through mayflower, arkansas, has been confirmed as an ef-4, with winds close to 200 miles per hour. so that's why those images that we saw out of that area just so did he have stating and heart breaking. we expect more rain across parts of florida today with the storm system slowly winding down. take a look at some of these rain totals. we have seen more than 18 inches of rain across parts of alabama and also in florida with more rain expected today. we could be seeing that flood threat aggravated because the ground is saturated and farther off toward the north across the northeast, by the way, we saw some rainfall records being set
in la guardia. over five inches of rain. we expect some storms with the storm system as well, thunderstorms that could produce some isolated severe weather out there along parts of the east coast. keep that in mind. of course, we also wants to point out, with the flood threat in place, what happens if you're caught in your car during a flash flood and you're forced to break a window? some of the tips that are recommended for people is that you break side windows, not the fronts and rear window. that's because it has smaller surface area so that could really help you possibly save your life if you are caught in that. and we've seen these images out of florida, the florida panhandle of cars being swept away by flash flood. try to break a side window and not the fronts or rear. let's head back inside. >> thank you. ♪ ♪

philadelphia this morning. people rescued as the water rose as high as six feet around a bus. then all the way down in florida, because this has been affecting the entire east coast, rerentless rain cause causing a road to collapse. in mobile, alabama, firefighters had to carry this elderly woman to safety. she had become stranded in her car that was in the flood water. check this out. a little girl in a kayak in her living room. the house under two feet of water. boy, so much damage for so many families across the country. today is may day. it's also known as international workers day and here is a look at how the world watches this. tho thousands defy protest bans in istanbul. police using waters cannons and tear gas on the crowd and in cambodia, at least five people hurts.
protesters demanding a higher minimum wage and in bangladesh, garment workers packed the streets demanding the execution of a factory owner whose building collapsed, killing more than 1,000 laborers last year. and another story, could new sanctions on russia over the crisis in ukraine scrub our ride to the space station? a russian official sounding off saying, quote, after analyzing our sanctions against the space industry, i suggests the u.s. deliver its astronauts to the i.s.s. with a trampoline. it's not likely russia will suspend the service. nasa pays them more than $60 million a person to get up to space. and those are your headlines. you know they're talk being may day, when i was a little kid, we always gave flowers to our mom on may day. >> we don't have flowers in america because the winters lasted too long. the flowers are not coming out. >> they are.
>> april showers bring may flowers. >> but not like yesterday. it became cold again. the earth stopped spinning. i don't know what's going on. >> for the guy at scientific america, he's kidding! okay? >> who is heather talking about there? >> the news. >> yeah. >> she was talking about the trampoline. did you want to riff on that? >> yes. for $60 million, we could have taken four trips and built our own rocket. why are we writing checks to them? >> if they need a trampoline, contact jimmy kimmel. >> the big news this morning, we told you yesterday about the smoking gun e-mail, as it's been called. remember the conservative watch group had to sue to get documents about benghazi. apparently in the subject line it does say benghazi and it's basically saying that let's try
spin this whole thing that it's not a policy failure, that it's all -- >> the video. >> sparked by this video. the mainstream media is catching on and starting to realize that where there is smoke there is often fire. jonathon karl pressing jay carney yesterday. >> you knew full well what susan rice was primarily going to be asked about was about that attack. terrorist attack on a u.s. consulate in benghazi. she witness on the shows -- went on the shows and said the attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over internet video. we now know that was not true. >> john, i would point you to what mike morell has said repeatedly in testimony about the creation of the talking points. >> just last months, when he heard that, he said that's not something that our analysts would say. that came from the white house. right? >> john, no. you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking
about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> right. so he's saying that what was going on in the muslim world was about the video. unfortunately for him, as anna said, up at the top it said benghazi. so for him to say it wasn't about benghazi, also at one point in the document it says how we're going to work with the libyan authorities to bring justice to those responsible for the deaths of u.s. citizens. okay. the only time that people died in libya, the americans, were with benghazi. look, it's becoming very, very clear, the white house said last year, we've released a complete set of documents. they didn't do that. there was a cover-up, there were things that were unclassified, then classified by the white house lawyers so we couldn't see them. then now that we see them, it looks like there was a conspiracy to convince the american public seven weeks before an election that it was all about the video. it wasn't about the state department not giving the security they needed.
lindsey graham last night on "special report," as passionate as i have ever seen the senator from south carolina, he says clearly when you look at it, a lot of this had to do with actually 100% of it, had to do with getsing barak obama relie elected. >> my response is if i'm doing something wrong for political reasons, i should have egg on my face and i should be punished by the people of south carolina. if what he is saying is a bold faced lie and that i'm correct this administration hid the truth from the american people about a coordinated terrorist attack 'cause they were more worried about the president's reelection than telling the truth to the american people about why four people died, they need to be held accountable. when i wanted to get to the bottom of gitmo, i was a hero. when i challenged the torture policies of the bush administration 'cause i had been a military lawyer, i was doing the country a service. you got americans in harm's way as i speak tonight, many of them in uniform and throughout the
they2*qq' let down by their government and the colleagues that serve their country that their death has been dishonored and what happened was distorted for political reasons. if for no other reason, somebody needs to be held accountable about lying about how those who died. >> congressman chaffetz, senator graham, chaffetz is coming up later, have led the way on this. everyone is ridiculing them saying they're spitting in the wind. there is no there there. the president said there is no talking points. what are you talking about? and now it turns outs there were talking points, there were e-mails and they were withholding them and i think that more than just fox is angry. that's what i saw yesterday. meanwhile, two years ago, at that time there were attacks in the area, there were protests throughout other capitals throughout the middle east and north africa, at which time the president thought it would be a good idea to get on line, puts the tape together, leaning with the secretary of state, and have a message to the people of pakistan.
don't go crazy. we apologize. here is a little video to show you that that bad movie that's out that ridicules islam has nothing to do with america thinks. it costs us $70,000. now that we know that they don't think that, the riots were because of that. think about what we could have done with that money. >> yeah. $70,000 for this video that was the alleged cover-up of the alleged cover-up, this is how far they were going to do this. not only to protect president obama, but to protect then secretary of state. >> because they were doubling down. they had put that out. yeah, it's all about the video. so what do they do? they -- >> put the guy in jail. >> they hired alt those -- all those television stations. hillary clinton said the u.s. has absolutely nothing to do with this video. excepts use it as an excuse. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about gq, gentlemen's quartersly magazine. curious, apparently they don't like fox and apparently they
don't like conservatives and apparently what they did with one of their columns talking about the guy who soon used to own the l.a. clippers, what they have said is if you are a conservative, you're a racist. >> here is what a tweet said. it said good luck to donald sterling with whatever show he ends up hosting on fox news probably. >> right. that's pretty insulting i would think to not only us, but to you. mickey tweet this, gq magazine, i'm canceling my subscription and his web address at "fox & friends." >> sally says gq has a low i.q. >> and here is a viewer e-mail. g.q. magazine recruited my friend out of high school to model and turned him into a life long drug addict. wow. those are some strong words. really, maybe gq ought to stick to the colorful socks and the pocket squares and hair gel. >> how brilliant is gq?
half the country leans to the right. half to the left. for them to anger half of the country who might buy their stupid magazine, that's just not a good business model. >> whoever is managing their social media account, i wonder how long they're going to have that job. >> i don't know how long i can go with this boycott 'cause i have no idea what to wear on the weekends if i don't have that magazine. >> just wear that. >> okay. >> american scientific or scientific american, he's kidding! he's kidding! >> you guys -- >> coming up on "fox & friends," a warning for anyone who gets manicures. what you need to know about a connection to cancer? >> pay attention, joel. but first, are we about to see another housing crisis? bob massi looks like that. ♪ ♪ fighting constipation by

if you own a home or you're thinking about buying, consider yourself warned because some of america's biggest banks need your business and they may be back to some of the old tricks that got us all in trouble. joining us to explain what this means to you and your money, fox news legal analyst, bob massi. he's out in vegas, baby. governing to you. >> good morning. >> you know, after so many people had to declare -- this is in the form of a question -- in the aftermath of excessive bankruptcy, foreclosures and destroyed credit what, is happening in the world of lending for the consumer and the homeowner? >> the lenders are crying. the lenders are saying we're just not getsing enough business. people don't have the credit
necessarily to get what they want. so the lenders are crying and what they're doing is they're adapting and they're modifying and they're enticing the homeowner. they're enticing the consumer and buying cars to get back in the game and they're making it easier for them to do it. so once again, we have to be careful as prospective homeowners and consumers to exact plea what they're doing and saying. >> that's a good question. in fact, we've got a graphic to that points. what are the lenders doing now to get the consumer and the homeowner back in the arena to get money from them? >> auto financing, they're doing subprime loans. >> sub prime? are you kidding? >> no. auto financing they're doing. they're basically charging at some points 15, 20% on this money. you have wells fargo and other lenders that are lowering the fico scores down to 600 on fha loans. look, they understand, steve,
the emotion -- i talked about this before and unfortunately, human nature never changes. they want to own. so what do they do? they throw it out there again to the homeowner, prospective homeowner, the consumer saying we're going to make it easier for you to get into it. i want to be clear on something, even though fico scores have been lowered by some of the lenders, they still are requiring, steve, a high percentage, 15, 20% money down if you're going to buy a home. so they're wanting more money down in some cases. but what's important for our just understand what -- when you borrow money, alt they're doing is throwing money at you. what is it costing you? and can you meet the obligation? don't fall back and say it's so enticing, the emotional buy, steve, the opportunity to make money, six, seven years, investment properties in america is what got us, many of us, in a position where we lost so much.
>> and bob, what you're suggesting is what the banks are doing is giving noun people who can't pay it -- money to people who can't pay it back again and that led to a big bubble and where we are today. >> there is a risk. look, if you and i as a responsible citizen, you have to look at the way the economy is in our country, the way unemployment is still is in our country, can you really meet this payment if you hit a bump in the road? if you hit a bump in the road, guys, then you have to look -- i don't buy unless i know if something goes wrong, i can survive. we have to live that way anymore. if you don't and you miss a payment, you do this, the same domino effect is going to happen again. credit gets hit, bankruptcy gets hit, foreclosure happens, repo something of cars, we got back into the same jackpot we did several years ago. >> we got to look out for ourselves because nobody is look out for us. >> we cannot blame anybody anymore. we're more informed than ever

some stories make headlines in the medical world. a brand-new report shedding light on a connection between manicures and cancer. researchers visited 16 different salons in the united states and looked at those u.v. lights used for gel manicures. you know them, steve. they found it could take as many as 24 visits to some salons to reach the point where the light triggers cancer-causing dna damage. take that, marcus allen. and here is another reason to make broccoli parts of your diets. getting enough fiber may be a life saver for people who have had a heart attack. researchers at harvard say extra fiber increased long-term survival rates by 25%. so what would washington be like if our politicians and communication directsors acted like this? >> that was the planet. >> we can do this.
>> you're a did you go person, right? what kind of dog do you have? >> i have a real dog. >> an open secret in washington. >> do you know who is playing golf with? >> who. >> no, no. who? >> you don't know and you want me to find out. >> yeah. >> so funny. how close is the show "veep" mirror what really happens. matt walsh is an actor on the show, good morning. >> you ready for year three? >> yeah. i don't have to do anything. we made it. >> fictional character. it seems awfully real to me. >> according to people in dc, the show is fairly accurate to the way things happen behind the scenes. >> you work for the vice president. >> i'm the communications director for the fictional vice presidents. >> are you suggesting that this is what it's like working for joe biden? >> no. i think it's more about truthfully the humanity, like you're pushing ideals through a system. so it's human people trying to do their best and inevitably they're flawed human beings.
that's my take on it. >> good way to put it. >> americans have a fascination with what happens in politics and washington, d.c we've seen it. but this is funny. how does it keep viewers' attention? why is it season three and hopefully more for you? >> season three, she's running for president. like "west wing" was aspirational and" house of cards" is like conspiracy. i think our show goes for the joke, but it's also a little more realistic. this year the stakes are high because she's bringing in all these consultantses and we're all worried about our jobs. she wants the office so bad, she'll fire anybody. so we're all terrified of losing our position. >> does it scare you that people come up to you and see what it's really like and you have a vice president that's somewhat not ready for the job, so she's going to become president? does that scare you? >> yeah, it's a little disamonthsing when people say your show tackles what's wrong admire -- like i would never be a politician.
i think that's the worst job in the world. >> what would happen if selena myer became president? >> terrible things. nuclear holocaust, budget crisis. >> it's 'cause she's just not up for the job. >> she's not -- she has created that character, would not be a good president. no. >> i love the behind the scenes story. you're on hbo, so you can do some ad libbing there. >> there is some filthy talking. >> there is definitely filthy talk on cam remarks off camera. >> we know elaine benes is funny. so what is it like behind the scenes, when off gel together? >> it's great. we do a lot of improv, so there is great chemistry and we all hang out after the show because we spend a lot of time on the show insulting each other. so it's important to sort of mend that friendship after the show and have a drink and play cards and stuff. >> it is hilarious. my wife and i love the episodes

28 minutes now before the top of the hour. >> we want to show you video out of pensacola, florida, taken by a drone. you can see homes and cars submerged by nearly two feet of water and more rain on the way. maria molina is following these storm and joins us. good morning. >> hi. incredible images out of that florida panhandle due to the heavy rain. look at some of the rainfall totals across parts of florida and also alabama. they have just been incredible. well over a foot of rain across some of these areas. it's not just across parts of the gulf coast that we've been seeing flooding, but also the northeast. we have set rainfall records across portions of the northeast. look at parts of maryland picking up over seven inches of rain from this storm system. the rainfall rates were also incredible, pensacola picked up over five inches of rain in one hour. several more inches still expected across the southeast. so there is that threat for flooding that will continue. in the northeast, most of the rainfall accumulations will be generally light. a few showers.
thunderstorms possible on parts of the east coast with an isolatessed risk for severe weather. keep that in mind out there. this is the same storm that is responsible for the tornadoes that were produced across so many states over the last several days. i want to mention in mayflower, arkansas, that tornado was confirmed as an ef-4 with winds close to 200 miles per hour and we've seen so many images of flood waters sweeping away cars. we want to give you some tips here because if the unthinkable does happen and you are caught in your car during a flash flood and you're forced to break a window, you want to try to make sure you strike in the center of the window with as much force as possible. that's where it would be easier to break it and also try to break the window where the water is flowing away from the car. not towards the car because then you're looking at the water rushing into your car and also remember if you broke it, there is glass there as well. so that would be another big issue. let's head back inside. >> we should also point out when you just broke that, in that video, you cut up your hand
pretty hard. >> yeah. i used a window breaker. i don't think i could have broken it with my hand by itself. that window hammer really helps people break those windows much easier. so that's something also. throw in your car, keep it in there. >> you were really brave in that segment. thanks. let's turn to heather nauert who joins us now with the very latest on toronto's crack smoking mayor. >> we haven't heard about him as much lately. but we do talk about him when new video emerges. the crack smoking mayor, rob ford, back on crack again. a new video surfaced, reportedly showing him smoking crack in his sister's basement. he's announced he's taking a break and headed to rehab. his lawyer says he's fine low ready to deal with his real drug problem. he has a heisman trophy and national championship and now a rap sheet? a florida state star jameis winston, walked out of a publix

families, or health and wellness issues like ending the stigma associated with posttraumatic stress. >> guys, as i tell the riders every year, if you see president bush, you're going too fast. you see dr. siegle, you're going too slow. back to you in new york. >> good advice. very nice. >> all right. thank you very much. >> that's such an honor he was watching us at walter reed and back there today. coming up, remember when the president said this about benghazi? >> the whole issue of talking points frankly throughout this process has been a side show. >> okay. brand-new details telling a different story about that side show. so is it finally time for john boehner to call for a special counsel? jason chaffetz has been investigating this and is here next. first we're going to check in with martha mccallum for what's coming up at the top of the hour. good morning. >> good morning. about a half hour from now, congress is going to hear from a new witness in the benghazi case. sources are telling us that this

we've been talking about it all week. new e-mails blasting a hole in the white house's steer that then ambassador susan rice was just repeating the latest intel when appears on all those sunday shows in the aftermath of the benghazi attacks on 9-11-2012. one e-mail from a former aide outlined the prep work saying, quote, the goal is to underscore
that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure or policy. why weren't these e-mails given to congress when they asked for them last august? joining us now is a member of the house oversight and reform committee who asked for those e-mails, did not get those e-mails, congressman jason chaffetz. congressman, a lot of people watching this say, what's changed? what's changed for you now? >> we have a whole nother set of documents. the oversight committee has roughly 3200 new documents that we've gotten in the last 30 days. despite the white house saying this is a phony scandal. it was done a long time ago. what difference does it make, you ever the white house press secretary in an embarrassing moments, tried to say that the ben rhodes e-mail had nothing to do with benghazi. that's absolutely laughable. today we're going to hear from a general, air force general who was there in germany as this was going down in the room. we're going to hear from him, what was happening in that room? were the facts as we knew them? and the white house just can't
keep saying we were dealing with the best intelligence we had. oh, yeah? what was that intelligence? what did the military think was going down? >> so we had talking points ahod mike morell said i had no idea where that word tape came from. but you also have him dealing with offering a his services to help work something outs with the state department. that's also in these documents. >> he said that he was worried it would be embarrassing to the state department. that doesn't sound like somebody who is trying to get out the truth about what's going on in benghazi. you would the station chief himself say it had nothing to do with a video and that that led to some sort of mob that got out of control. >> one thing, you guys got to help gregory hicks 'cause his career is all screwed up because believe. but today, you're going to talk to general lovely -- lovell. what is he going to say about these giocoso have been saved or
at least helped? >> we got to hear it from his own lips. but i think generally what happened is they were waiting for hillary clinton and the state department to offer some direction. they were there in a support mission to the state didn't. what did hillary clinton direct? what did she wants? what was her communication with the president? ends up hillary clinton didn't even speak with the president that night. so you have air force -- the pentagon and resources, they tried to come up with this lame story that they couldn't have gotten there in time. i'm worried that they didn't even trio get there. that's what i want to ask the general this morning. >> is it time for the speaker of the house to commission a select committee and get a real prosecutor asking questions consistently with follow-ups and start making some progress on this? >> i think we have been making progress, but it's getting increasingly difficult to deny the fact that we have a major, major scandal. we have lies that are perpetuated by this white house. i don't know how over the course of time we continue to resist the idea of creating a select
committee, if we're going to be stove piped. the reality is we're issuing subpoenas that are going out there. but they have got to comply with those. when the white house and the state department don't comply with subpoenas, we got a major, major problem in this country. >> you know what? they're not. judicial watch is having a court order to make them do it is the only thing that do. it makes me wonder if anything is going to change. anyone who passes away, talking points is not going to happen and there is no there there, i think they have a hard case to prove. congressman, you've been there, been to libya, done the research. i look forward to the hearings today. thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. coming up next, "fox & friends" will wrap things up and say something that might change your life. ♪ ♪

with the abc news/"washington post" poll. it wasn't great use. plus, did you guys see this, "star wars" -- do we have any "star wars" nerds on the set? >> yes, i'm old school. i wasn't triled with the trilogy but old school "star wars" yes. >> how about they're bringing back harrison ford, mark hamill and carrie fisher. all three in the seventh "star wars" movie. >> this was in a reading yesterday. a script reading yesterday. you can see harrison ford to the right of j.j. abrams. carrie fisher two over at 3:00. mark hamill at about 10:00, 11:00 o'clock on your screen as well. mark, are you a "star wars" nerd? >> i'm looking for jar jar banks. >> no jar jar banks. >> i like it fine. i have no figurines. >> george lucas has been banned,
i think, from this. r 2 did 2 is going there, too. 30 years after the end. of "return of the jedi" 1983. no darth, though, he's gone. >> yeah. >> can they bring him back now? >> no. >> it's "star wars" assisted living. >> no they had that ghost scene at the end. >> flashbacks. >> i think billy madison, too. they yeed a bobby ewing situation. it was all a dream. anyway, mike barnicle, msnbc and "time" senior political analyst, mark hamillton, and the reverend al sharpton in d.c., anchor for news america and co-author of "the confidence
code" ckatty kay, why don't you get us started. >> i'm just worried about that -- >> that's a very bbc look. with the hair on both sides. >> no, let's get a look at news. after promise due process by donald sterling, nba commissioner silver delivered a swift response to the racist remarks. >> the views expressed by mr. sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. that they came from an nba owner only heightens the damage in my personal outrage. accordingly, effective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba. >> okay. so what this means, in practice is, no practice, no games. he cannot be at the clippers facility or weigh in on any personnel decisions. he can have no interaction with
the team he owns ever again. that's on top of a maximum $2.5 million fine. that's pretty nominal considering that his estimated net worth is around $1.9 billion. but the question of how long sterling will own the clippers is also in doubt. >> i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. >> sterling has reportedly told fox news jim gray that the team is not for sale. and he will not be selling the team. with that said, several groups do appear to be interested in purchasing the team with bidding expected to exceed $1 billion. magic johnson, boxer floyd mayweather jr. and david geffen are all said to be among the interested parties. farce the actual team the clippers had to prepare for game five of their playoff series
against the golden state warriors. following commissioner silver's announcement, the team posted this message on their website simply reading "we are one." and last night, the game began without delay. something that almost didn't happen. both the warriors and clippers and possibly the other four teams playing last night were all reportedly going to boycott last night's games if they were unsatisfied with silver's ruling. >> willie geist, the nba moved very quickly. everybody is talking about the hammer dropping on this guy. they really didn't have much of a choice, did they? >> no, adam silver did the right thing. what's to know about him, people say, oh, my gosh, he's only been on the job for three months. he's been at the nba for 23 years. he serve ted right hand of david stern. he knew this league. he did it the right way. he authenticated the tape. he made sure he had all the information. he did pretty much the maximum that he's able to do.
he needs three quarters of the owners to vote. that would be the last piece of the puzzle. >> the guy has 1 but $8 billion, mike barnicle, he doesn't plan to move anywhere. >> donald sterling is a very litigious person. he sueden officer whatever left, business. the nba is probably getting ready to go to course against donald sterling. they will win. they'll force him out before they get to court. >> one of the reasons, al, that it the nba had to do what the nba had to do is because they sat by and let this guy act in about hornet way since the early 1980s. long of the owner of the clippers. everybody knew this guy was, very least, racially insensitive. he'd been sued by elgin baylor. everybody knew the nature of this guy. nba had to move quickly, didn't
they? >> they did. i think they made a very bold and appropriate move. but i think the question that you raise is one that we're faced with now. i haven't been watching because last night, leaders of those and heads of civil rights groups met in the congressional black caucus chair to talk about how do we make sure that there are things put in place in the nba that we make sure these kinds of things doesn't happen again. so as they go through forcing the sale and whatever litigation comes up, what are we going to put in place where a sterling doesn't reoccur? we can't keep going from incident to incident. we must really build in the infrastructure, box of where we are. we're in a time now where you have gays now playing in pro ball. you have all kinds of inclusion. we cannot have a league or any kind of sports where you don't have in-built mechanisms to vet these things out and avoid these
things from happening. >> no doubt about it. we're going to be talking about this throughout the three hours at 8:00. at the top at 8:00, bob costas is going to be here. katty, let's move on to polling. bad news in the form of a abc news/"washington post" poll, now, nbc is out and gives us more ideas on whether the bad numbers on obamacare or the president were outriders or not? >> yeah, it doesn't look good. the brand-new polls from the nbc news and the "wall street journal." overall, 40%. 50% disapprove of how he's handling his job. compare those numbers from the abc news and "washington post" poll, it puts the president deeper under water. 41% to 55%. that's the lowest approval since the start of his presidency.
36% say the law is a good idea. that's up one point from last month. 46%, still, though, say it's a bad idea. the abc news poll has the law upside down. 44% approval, 48% disapproval. on foreign policy, 37% back the president's handling of the situation in ukraine. according to nbc news, that's a six-point drop from last month. by the way, 45% disapprove of his approach. the abc news poll showed similar results, 44% to 36% split. overall, 65% of those polled by nbc news say the country's in the wrong track. while 27% see things moving in the right direction. neither of these polls, joe, looking great for the president.
mark har hall. there's this dissonnence between voters. between "the wall street journal" let's pull back and draw back. and frustration with the president's ukraine policy. it's kind of hard for the white house to square. >> well, it's difficult for any president to be working hard on a foreign policy issue and not having people rallying around him and encouraging him. and that is in the second term, the president would like to be able to show strength because domestically things are frustrated too. there's not a lot of good things to say from the president's point of view. it suggests the midterms are going to be a big problem. and it suggests that he's not going to be able to get a lot done if the numbers stay like this. the things he wants to do, immigration, climate change require a strong president.
>> how connected is -- for people that don't follow it closely, how connect said the president's approval rating to results in the midteller election? >> it's probably the thing that people think is the biggest indicator. if the numbers are as they are now, the water will have a hard time doing well. the danger is that these numbers are artificially high in the sense that the president's big on support. going about as low as he ever gets in any poll since he took office. the problem is a lot of that support comes from places where we weren't seeing contested races. his numbers are lower than the national number in arkansas, north carolina. >> louisiana, alaska. >> and even iowa. and other places. colorado where the battleground senate race, and the governors races are. the white house needs the president to be in a stronger position by november. these numbers suggest he's got a lot of work to do. the more he works on foreign policy, again, david axelrod has made this point, the harder it is for the country to rally and feel better about him because they're just not interested as the journal points out.
>> and we heard a couple weeks ago that obamacare, affordable care act, $8 million is going to cause a big uptick on this. but right now that doesn't seem to be the case. >> we talked about it yesterday with the abc poll that it at 44%. now the nbc poll says 36% think the health care law is a good thing. and democrats were going on to run on it in certain races but still largely unpopular. >> to my eye, the most vulnerable point of this poll, the most dangerous point of this poll, midterm elections or to the presidency itself is the 63% wrong track number. that's it. it's a pretty big number. >> it's been stubbornly high. you'd like to think with were a president with accomplishments it would be lower. but it's stubbornly high. >> no doubt about it, again, we'll see, though, the president
has been to the low to mid-40s. and everybody was preaching doom. read the op-eds in december of 2011. i saved a couple of them. they're pretty funny to read. talking about the disaster that was going to befall barack obama. you're right, there is a base. he's not going to go in the low 30s and 20s like george w. bush. >> or the mid-30s. that 40% of the country love or is with him. >> so, this will turn out to be, at the end of the day, a turnout operation. if the midterms -- the 54s are older and wider and more conservative as they are. in every midterm election there will be problems if the obama administration can turn out what they're able to turn out as far as the turnout operations in '08 and '12, they've got a shot of holding the senate. >> well, what do you do to
stimulate the turnout in younger voters the way they did in '08 and now? >> i don't think they're going to. >> there's another piece of replicating the obama model. you're right, one, turn out operation and get the coalition ascended to turn out. the other is to destroy the republican candidates the way they destroyed mitt romney. >> it's going to be hard to destroy that. like the koch brothers it's not going to work. >> it's not going to work not because of the koch brothers, it's not going to work because these congressmen and senators get a chance to get in front of voters. it gets so hard to nationalize these elections. >> well, the democrats try not to maximize it. it's to cherry pick every individual republican and to to do opposition research and say what can we do to disqualify this person? make them a koch brother ally, whatever it is. that's their hope. and it's their best hope.
because if it is nationalized, if it is a battle of the economy and affordable care act, the democrats will lose. coming up on "morning joe," we've got a lot to talk about. bob costas on his ideas on how the nba can force donald sterth to sell his team. he's going to be at 8:00 eastern. and david axelrod. governor tim pawlenty and dr. brzezinski will be here. also, i want to talk about what happened in oklahoma last night. absolutely horrific. coming up next on the "political playbook" a decision whether to hold vote. and struck in legislative limbo. also news you can't use. but first, bill karins with a check on the forecast, bill? >> joe, i know you have such a great interest in families and friends in the pensacola area. they've never seen a flood like this, joe. there's people down there saying
how horrible this is. and we're talking about, you know, the water records go back at least 60 to 70 years. and the flooding going on right now is worse than any hurricane we've seen. i mean, that's how bad it is. the totals that we've seen are upwards of one to two feet of rain in the pensacola area since last night. and the last 24 hours. mobile has been very bad. they had a lot of water rescues there. look at this image, joe. this is downtown pensacola last night. water on the sidewalks at least two feet deep. as we go throughout the day, these pictures will come in. 10 is closed throughout the region. you cannot travel on it. there are cars stuck for six to eight hours. they literally can't go anywhere. there's a river rung over i-10 to pensacola. again, this is all associated with that same storm system that brought us tornadoes in the last couple of days. we got away with that. here's one of the pictures from rob mcgayen.
24.4 inches of rain for this event. two feet of rain just northwest of downtown pensacola. we did see tornados in eastern north carolina. thankfully, we didn't who's any lives with those. if you're on the east coast from new england to the mid-atlantic, a lot of rain today. a lot of airport delays. but it shoun be too bad as far as tornadoes are concerned. just a few strong storms. i'll continue to give you yip updates from north florida with historic flooding as we go through the morning on "morning joe." we'll be right back.

"the new york times" a top international olympic committee official says the preparations for the 2016 summer olympics in rio are, quote, the worst he has experienced. the comments add to mounting concerns the country's not prepared to host the event without international assistance. it also comes just weeks, of course, before the country is set to host the world cup.
the ioc will send outside experts to monitor progress in brazil. i was down in rio recently, they say it's all going to be fine, on time and budget, willie. >> so, katty, do you believe that? are you going to go down with your family and just kind of hang out in rio and watch the world cup? >> wouldn't it be great to be there for the final in rio? for the world cup? even if it was chaos, it would be great. >> i do not know i'd want to take my 5-year-old. >> different type of chaos. we're in search of a different kind of chaos. yeah, the question is, why brazil hosts the world cup in '14, the olympics in '16, it's clearly not ready. >> certainly on the world cup, some of the stadiums just don't look like they're going to be ready on time. >> and the olympics, the inside word is they say we're going to start on the olympics. let's get through the world cup. well, that leaves you less than two years to get ready for the olympics. it it will be a scramble but it always is with the olympics.
>> it comes as a shock. i think when they were awarded we thought no problem. >> just like russia's putin that went smoothly. and mr. halperin, the play on veep i'm sure you heard that mr. allen. let's talk business. harry reid said democrats are holding talks about a vote to prove the keystone pipeline. is that actually going to happen? >> they're actually going to have a vote. and this is a real surprise. it's a sign of how worried democrats are about the senate. yesterday, i was out at the milken conference in los angeles, did a poll, including a lot of democrats, asking them what they thought the chances were republicans could take every 0 the senate. nate silver said around 60%.
dave leonhart said around 61%. the democrats i talked to said it's more like 60%. they are worried about a republican senate. so you have harry reid saying he might take a vote on approving the keystone pipeline. what's not determined is, will this be something that's binding will this be more a sense of the senate, as they call it. but the key fact, 11 senate democrats have signed a letter to president obama saying they want him to approve it by the end of may. there's a bunch of states where democrats are in danger where a voter for the keystone pipeline would help. >> mark, a manufacturing base of america, a transformation of
this economy when we become the number one producer of oil by 2020 according to "the wall street journal." natural gas just exploding. democrats really could be on the wrong side of history here. i just get the sense, in my gut, that the most ideological wing of his party is going to sit back and fight and scratch and claw. and you see it already, them trying to stop the president from approving keystone. and i think most americans are going to go, jobs? cheaper energy prices? an increase in the manufacturing base? i just -- you know, the ideologues go, keystone is only going to create three jobs and these just outrageous claims. and i don't think americans buy it. i don't think most americans buy it. >> not just most americans but a lot of democrats in congress who are on the far left of the party agree with the things you just
listed. look, there's substantive issues here. it's hard for a weak president to get anything substantive through. they want to do something on energy efficiency. some people want to do keystone. i don't think it will have an effect on the midterms. i don't believe it's the energy package we need to bring about the energy revolution you're talking about. but you're right, the white house to some extent is on the wrong side of this politically. and harry reid is crafting as he always does to get them in a better place. i don't think it's a big deal for the republicans, i really don't. >> reverend sharpton, no approval, no decision, what do you think? >> i think mark is right. i really don't think it is going to be all of that, either way. but i think it's going to be the political football that harry reid has got to play in terms of taking it off the table. so it doesn't appear to be something that is really is not. if it were to pass. it could be used in the
elections. and in a negative way, against the democrats. the environmental concerns and all of that that many have is a question of who can outmessage the other. it's better to take it off the table, and that harry reid can have a vote that really doesn't impact one way or the other. it takes it out of the politics. midterm elections is about turning out your base. polls are good, but it's turning out your base. and i think the more you can avoid things that really have no impact and drive your base up, that's who's going to win the midterm elections. i think democrats will have to say to their voters we won't be able to confirm, cabinet members if some of the cabinet members leave early. if we get a supreme court, we can't confirm people they go and argue what's at stake here if we lose the senate, they could drive out their base. >> mike allen, it's kind of interesting as the reverend was pointing out how the
environmental concerns about the pipeline has been mooted over the past six or seven months in the quake of what joe was playing out, energy and jobs. >> that's right, it's partly because i think people in washington have assumed for a long time, all the signals that came out of the white house during the last campaign was that they eventually would approve this. they've now pushed it back past the election. i was surprised, the new "rolling stone" has a long piece about this saying the president finally gets it on the environment. the president is finally doing real things on climate. the sources in that "rolling stone" article say that they think the president will eventually reject that. this is a definite unknown. a definite mystery, in washington, something we don't often have. but i agree with the reverend. this is about cover. giving the democrats cover. they're trying everything because they're worried. >> mike allen with a look at the "playbook" we'll see you. >> do you think there's going to be a "playbook" reference in the
new "star wars"? >> i would. i got to fill that darth vader void. >> that's how to do it. >> probably a shot of jar jar reading it. >> robby cano returns to yankee stadiums -- boos, boos -- cheers. look at that. >> yeah. and former governor tim pawlenty will join the table. i always look forward to seeing the governor. also ahead, we'll show you what you get when you combine a monkey, plus live tv. >> what happens here now? >> is it a good idea if you provoke monkeys on the morning show? >> no, don't do that. >> can't wait to see how this turns out. be right back. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move.
jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto
if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. for more information and savings options, i tr ied for more information and savings options, depend last weekend. it really made the difference between a morning around the house

head coach doc rivers spoke about the team drama surrounding this game. >> i thought, you know, you could see them get tired a lot. i thought that was from all the emotional, you know, baggage the last four days. you think it's just the players. it was the fans, too. everybody was going through this. it was almost like everybody wanted to exhale tonight. and it was good. >> that's a great coach. and a lot of it around this table know a great man too helped his team weather the last four days. >> an important footnote, the story is well covered and of course, sterling's an idiot. some learned lessons from rim, the grace and care and balance that he reflected and maturity through all of this, doc rivers is a real diplomat for basketball. >> you know that mike barnicle, you spent a lot of time around him. >> the grizzlies playing the thunder in game five. okc down two in the final seconds. >> 15 seconds to play.

3-2 in that series. wizards beat up the bulls. they won that series. 4-1. they'll get the pacers or the hawks. the way it's looking, it's going to be the hawks. the pacers will be dreadful. let's get to hockey. game six against the rangers. phillies, scoring three goals, hat trick. 5-2 over the rangers. they head back to new york for the deciding game. another upsetting game. governor pawlenty's got his eyes on this one. >> if you're going to say minnesota, you can't emphasize the "i" you got to drag your "o." >> forgive he. >> against colorado it's been a great series. i'm hoping for minnesota. patrick wild, the new head coach, has done a great job.
every team has won on the home ice except the last game. >> who's your favorite of the playoff teams? >> the minnesota wild, chicago is looking great. i thought the st. louis blues, chicago's looking good. i got to say boston bruins, even though first half of the year, even they looked wobbly, they've come on strong. if i had to predict, i'd say chicago and boston again. >> willie, packed last night, a lot of people looking for two games. of course, jeter's final game it's going to be huge. cano coming back to new york. seriously, you know, i always go in the subway to go up to see the kids at the orphanage, uptown, i could not get on there because of so many people going to the game. >> was it emotional? >> it was. it was a cleansing, you know for three hours. >> like bronx sardines. grizzly night. is it still april? >> it feels like a minnesota.
former yankee robinson cano left the team in the off-season as many of you know made his return to the bronx last night with the seattle mariners, here's the welcome he received. look at these people. >> here comes robinson cano. robinson cano. >> there's three people there. >> the top of the first. it was raining last night. >> look at these seats in april. >> cano went 1 for 5. >> look at the seats. >> corey hart on the right. >> la, la, la -- >> they won 6-3. sparse turnout, cold, rainy. >> look at that. small market. >> well, there are only 20 million people in the metro. how could they fill that? >> same with the mets. obviously, this market is not big enough to support that. >> that photograph was tweeted
out by colin barnacle, the son of mike barnicle, rubbing it in the face of the yankees. >> 8,000 seat's -- by the way, i agree, going to atlanta, that looks like it looked when bob warner would hit a foul ball or dale murphy down the right field line. and we would zip down, we'd race from home plate, i'm serious, all the way to right field, going after the ball. >> that's how it was being a mets fan in the late '80s. you'd yell to your buddy across the arena, hey, jeff, after the game! >> yeah, that's what it's like being a yankees fan. still ahead on "morning joe," what is next for the clippers now that the nba is looking to force a sale of the team? how hard is donald sterling going to fight this thing. we'll talk to bob costas, neil

read" opinion pages. she sent it to us. katty, mika has picked out a tough maureen dowd op-ed about barack obama. >> yeah, maureen dowd writes in "the new york times" is barry whiffing, stop whining mr. president, and stop whiffing. we understand it's frustrating you're dealing with some really evil guys and some really nutty polls but that being said, you are the american president and the american president should not perpetually use the word "eventually." an an american president should never say as did you monday in manila, you hit singles, you hit doubles, every once in a while, we may be able to hit a home run. once you like to have the stage, mr. president to have the aura of the lone man in the arena, not sharing the spotlight with others.but now when captured alone in the picture, you seem disconnected and adrift what
happen to crushing it and swigging for the fences? what have you gone, babe ruth? >> tim pawlenty, does not seem to be pleased with barack obama leadership right now. >> when you have maureen dowd, you're losing her and you're a democrat, that's not a good sign. the president hasn't been at his high-water mark. he needs to crystallize issues or some issues are going to crystallize him. >> she's obviously talking about ukraine. republicans have been critical of the president. obviously, most people in the republican party don't want to get involved militarily. >> i think with respect to foreign policy, you can't run it by polls. joe, there's dissonance. there's a chunk of the country that wants less engagement. the president has to put the first principle first which is to keep the nation safe and let the polls decide whether that was right. obviously, not going to deploy
the military in the ukraine but dr. brzezinski and others have said, we need to be more aggressive with the sanctions, frankly with the europe mean allies including germany. and we need to dial up the heat. it's the message that gets sent to russia with respect to iran. it's the message with respect to syria. it's the message sent to russia with respect to the nuclear arms negotiation and defense. it has a cascading effect. if you show a bully weakness, and you give them weakness, they'll take it. >> where do you stand in the right year for substantively take that on? >> i'm a supporter of reform, mark, but we're not going to get it done this year. it's going to fill into 2014. unfortunately. republicans should, if you're going to talk the talk of being the working class if we have a minimum wage, it should be reasonably adjusts from time to
time, for all the republicans who talk about we're the blue color and for the workers there should be basic things that they're for, and that's one of them increases in the minimum wage. >> before we go, you heard the conversation, i won't talk about everything you guys discussed. but jeb bush, is jeb going have to trouble getting through? >> well, the classic question can a quote/unquote established candidate get through a an increasingly conservative party. people say, no, it can never happen. in mccain's case a compelling personal story and a gritty performance. in mitt romney case, obviously a man of great talent but tremendous resources and infrastructure. jeb can do that but it's not going to be uncontested in so many runs. >> that last name is going to be tough. >> party has shifted. it's not so much the tea party. it's a libertarian wing that paul represents. you wouldn't have predicted

of espn's "first take" cari champion. thank you so much for being with us. katty, why don't is he go ahead and go to the news and then take it around the table. >> this is getting a lot of attention around the world, joe. after promising due process to donald sterling, nba commissioner adam silver delivered a swift and severe judgment against the owner for his racist remarks. >> the views expressed by mr. sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. that they came from an nba owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage. accordingly, effective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba. >> okay. so what that means is, no practice, no games. he cannot be at the clippers facility or weigh in on any
personnel decisions. he can have no interaction with the team he owns ever again. and that's on top of a maximum $2.5 million fine, pretty nominal really considering his estimated net worth is around $1.9 billion. but the question of how long sterling will own the clippers is now also in doubt. >> i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team. and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. >> so, bill, sterling has said he's not selling the team. >> yeah. >> he doesn't plan to go anywhere. >> right. >> he's got $1.9 billion. and he loves suing people. this could be a bloodbath for the nba. >> guess what, a lot of owners, everybody is going, yeah, wait a minute, what about me? what happens if -- you got some guys in florida who are supporting an anti-gay campaign. i mean, where does this end?
so now you see a lost owners, cuben is starting to back up saying, yeah, the guy has got it go. but on the other hand, this is kind of a slippery slope. you're right. it's one thing to make this announcement. silver did the only thing he could do. you've got the president weighing in. michael jordan, lebron james. if you did anything other than this, you're going to have a moral train wreck. but now this is where the fun begins legally. because if you know sterling at all, he didn't get to be a billionaire by laying down. you know he's going to fight this. >> right. and cari, nba really didn't have much of a choice, given what's happened with this guy around the front office for years now. but at the same time, the nba -- it might be a lot easier to hold that press conference than actually get him out of that position. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. you see, what we're forgetting is, through all of this, donald sterling has been silent.
he said nothing. and if i were a betting person which i am not, i'm sure he's at home with his legal team deciding the next plan of action. and when we do hear from him, i doubt if he will go quietly into the night. he's not known for that, as mentioned earlier. and there's a lot of different things that we haven't even addressed here. could in fact they transfer ownership to his wife? will the league in fact take over? think of the courts. this is something we could have dragged out in courts for years to come. >> you know, walter, the nba commissioner has banned this guy for life from the league. but you can't ban racism for life. and endemic in our culture, no matter how many times you say we're going to have a conversation about race, we never have that conversation. what does this do, this entire flap do, in your mind to that continuing nagging problem in american culture? >> well, it it can be a good learning experience. i think the president said it
well had he talked about, you know, you have to look at the fact we've had these things happen over the years, over the decades, over the century, but now it's outrageous when it happens. we say, this can't stand. i can remember 20, 30 years ago, somebody would get away with saying something like that. so these things help lance the boil of that. but we should also deepen the conversation a little bit and say, all right, what about the racism that's still hanging around. >> i was going to say, this honl happ only happened because -- you know, it was illegally recorded -- >> that's the way it is in this digital age. >> this guy was allowed to discriminate. >> right. >> for 30 years and nothing was ever said. >> but the good thing we've lanced the boil a bit. and when you talk about the other owners and whether or not they're going to force him to sell, the other owners are going to get away with not forcing him to sell, that will really hurt that owner's reputation. >> you make a great point about
where do we go from here. because, you know, we get so hung up in what he said. you've gone to a lot of press boxes. you can make the same statement, you can say what he said, a lot of different ways. i go in a press box every day. baseball press boxes and football, and it looks like 1955 in terms of no black faces. i tell the players when you get a chance walk through your office. go through the sales office and the public relations department. and what you'll find out people say the same thing that donald sterling said, but they are not clumsy about it, they just do it. >> what we aren't addressing, i think this is really smart. i'm sorry to jump in here but i have to say this, the reason why adam silver came in so hard, guys. this is clear. it's not that it's about sterling, if we think that this is the only person in the nba that feels that way, we're kidding ourselves. and so the reason we're calling this the silver hammer is he's
saying this won't be tolerated anymore. and sterling isn't alone. do we actually think about the person who actually called sterling to tell him what was going on in instagram? it could be someone in the organization. it could be someone else in the league. we have to say i know that he's not alone. that this is continuing to happen. so that's why he had to come down so hard on him. this is still something that's really still an issue in our country. we have a huge problem discussing race. it should be something at the forefront, something that we want to talk about without hiding behind it. >> katty. >> i was going to ask cari, he was banned against those remarks. what did you think the way he was talking to his girlfriend. this guy's attitude both to women and african-americans is just horrendous. >> listen, i grew up in los angeles. i'm a huge lakers fan. but i went to clippers games
anybody in sports within that city, knew this man, ran into this man, his reputation with women is just as atrocious as his behavior. he's known as a womanizer. it's almost as if he was jealous. it was jealousy. it was the racism. it was the how dare you present yourself this way, you're supposed to behave this way as a woman in public. it was very controlling. it was awe the things that you don't want to see in a person. and i don't know if you've heard, the young lady has come out and she is not his girlfriend. she was just a good friend of his. in fact, she feels really bad for him and that they were just buddies. >> i don't have a buddy that buys the luxury that she's in. and gives me range rovers. she says it wasn't that type of relationship. back to the tape. very disturbing how he was so controlling in deciding who she could be with. again, it's bizarre.
>> unbelievable. a buddy that buys a bentley. that's a buddy to have. >> or not to have. espn's cari champion, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. katty, let's move to oklahoma. officials in oklahoma are look the at last night's botched lethal injection of clayton lockett. lockett was sentenced to death for watching two accomplishes bury a woman in 1999. >> reporter: lockett was said to be executed using a new experimental cocktail of three drugs. when the president administered the first drug, a sedative to lockett. >> at that time, we began approaching the second and third part it's in protocol. there was some concern at that time that the drugs were not having the effect. >> reporter: courtney francis of
nbc station kfor witnessing the execution with other reporters said president officials declared lockett unconscious at 6:33 p.m. but over the next six minutes, eyewitnesses said lockett still appeared conscious and was struggling. >> one of the things he said was "something's wrong." he said "man" at one point. he kept trying to raise up. >> the 6:39, he's still lifting his shoulders and head off the gurney. grimacing. >> reporter: then eyewitnesses said prison officials closed off their window into the chamber putting lockett's execution on hold. >> it sounds as if the vein stopped working after the first drug was given, so that the paralysis and the medication to stop the heart, they just never worked. >> reporter: prison officials said lockett suffered a massive heart attack and died at 7:06 p.m. lockett's lawyer who initially sued the state for refusing to
release information about the prison drugs said prison officials are to blame. >> they wanted to get it done with as little transparency as possible. this is what they get. >> reporter: in a statement, oklahoma governor mary fallin called for a full review of oklahoma's execution procedures. and ordered the execution of a second inmate charles warner to be delayed 14 day. >> joining from us washington senior political editor and from "the washington post" sam stein. sam, this is going to get people taking a closer look at lethal injections which some people, i think, mistakenly believe are somehow more humane. you read the accounts of this. you read the account of the way that -- you know, the states are now scrounging around drug addicts trying to find the right combination of drugs to execute, suddenly it seems like a very shoddy, haphazard way to do things. and what happened to this guy last night, regardless of the
heinous things he did in his life amounts to -- it looks like from the description, amounts to torture. can amount to torture and is clearly unconstitutional. >> yeah, all of that is true. in fact, there's some states where they're having such trouble getting their hands on these cocktails of drugs that they're actually thinking about going back to firing squads and gas chambers which was another story in the ap last year but the big story is the political back job, the governor of the state, governor fallin, had pushed the supreme court to not have a stay of execution. the spreement court had granted a stay for the defense of these two people who committed heinous crimes said they wanted to know what was in the drugs so they could determine whether it was cruel and unusual punishment. the clerk gave them a stay. and then going to instruct to go ahead anyway. >> i have not over the past couple of weeks read the
oklahoma constitution, but i don't think we've studied that in law school in florida. but can a governor just decide on her own that a supreme court decision is null and void? >> well it's complicated. obviously, there's a constitutional crisis at hand. the state's court of appeals have ruled that the stay shouldn't be allowed to happen. and because a weird quirk in the oklahoma court system, she said the court of appeals have the jurisdiction and not the state supreme court. other way, they were on the brink of a prosecution crisis. and the supreme court basically acquiesced and said go ahead with the execution. in fact, one in oklahoma had threatened to bring articles of impeachment for justice on the court for staying the execution. that's how thirsty for the execution some of these lawmakers were. it turns out they did not have proper information how toed asister the drugs. and only now retroactively is the governor saying yeah, we
need to study what's going on here. listen these guys committed heinous crimes they were convicted and sentenced to death. but the politics had pushed for this to happen but it's coming back to biting them. >> the constitution is a constitution is a constitution. >> exactly. >> walter isaacson, this is not a right/left issue as much as it was, say, 30 years ago. you had people pat robertson starting to move against the death penalty and brought in evangelicals over the past several years. this is a case that's going make people -- willie geist and i were just talking on set. >> we're bending overbackwards trying to do all of these things that are not cruel and unusual. you kind of wonder if gary gilmore had it better. that's an older reference. with the sapphiring squad, whether that's not more humane. >> it does make us reflect on the constitution that says no
crucial or unusual punishment. that's something that changes over time. the definition of what's cruel and unusual changes. this will start a conversation again because clearly lethal injection when the drug companies are not going to supply the drug. you don't know where the drugs are coming from. >> by the way, that's important, walter. that's what's causing these problems. the drug companies are now refusing to supply the drugs. and it is causing people to -- >> so you have a group of legislators or a governor who is hell-bent to get something done like that, and then this happens, it's also a conscious center saying this is more complicates. >> we also have to note that just yesterday or two days ago maybe, a study came out that it's likely that 1 out of every 25 people executed by death penalty are probably innocent. so we're actually executing innocent people. this is a bigger conversation that we need to have about how we treat the people on death row. >> i wonder, bill, if in the state of oklahoma and the legislature they have as much
intensity towards education, as they do seemingly some of them are about improving their capital punishment system? >> yeah, first of all, i'm at the point, i think that what this is going to do is reenergize the opposition. this was -- i mean, i'm conflicted also because i'm thinking of the families. >> sure. >> and revenge and no penalty could be terrible. but when you look at 100 years from now, when you look back on our society, and you look at how we deal with each other, the br brutality and punishment. some of this to me is so sad. i'm not necessarily saturday for the guy what he did, just the human quality of this. and again, i wish i had an answer. i wish i knew how to deal with this. >> well, there's one thing, mark, that's always been in the equation when people talk about
capital punishment. of course, the first thing you think about is the victim or victim's family. but in state after state, the lack of true certainty of punishment, in some states you get the death penalty, or you get life in jail, but life in jail means 25 years. the certainty of punishment, life in jail means life in jail. that might do something to resolve this age old thing. >> the bigger issues that bill raised about the victims and the question of the death penalty being administered fairly, all of that needs to be discussed. the governor has to solve this. mary fallin is a national leader. she's a member of congress. the legislatures have rules. courts have rules. she has to begin to unravel went what wrong technically but restore confidence in the justice system because this so undermines what is already a tough issue in the country. >> sam, really quickly, just so everybody knows the guy that was on death row, the guy that had a heart attack last night and died
shot a 19-year-old woman and buried her alive. again, a heinous crime. that said, it's not as if there weren't heinous crimes when our founding fathers drafted the constitution there is a clause that prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. and in this case, again, when you have this chaotic process, where the drug manufacturers won't even give you the drugs. so you're going out and you're creating these cocktails which in the end didn't put this man under last night. so according to the reports, he suffered agonizing suffocation and pain. and, yes, just like the 19-year-old woman who was buried alive. we understand that. but there's a difference. >> sure. >> i mean -- >> we are the united states of america and we have a constitution. but it's supposed to prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. again, i'm not preaching against the death penalty. i'm saying is this no way to
administer consistently our -- the constitution. >> listen, you can find the way this execution was botched to be utterly grotesque and not feel sympathy. you can still believe in the death penalty. i don't think those two are in contradiction at all. one other thing for fiscal conservatives throughout there was a study that came out, i think in kansas, where executing people actually costs four times more for the state than it does to keep them in prison for life. just because of the legal appeals that constantly have to be made for any execution to flakes. it's cheaper not to execute people than execute someone. >> sam, greatly appreciate it. bill, appreciate you being in here. go penns. -- >> i'll explain that later, yes. sam, actually is staying with us. coming up after the financial
plans of 2008 almost destroyed the u.s. economy, one banker, just one, went to jail. we'll going to tell you who that fall guy was. and the real reason why more haven't been prosecuted. up next, chuck todd is here to break down the brand-new poll numbers showing problems for president obama, obama care and democrats in 2014. and we'll see if there's any more for the president and the democratic poll. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. ♪ no matter what kind of business you own, at&t business experts can help keep it running... seamlessly. so you can get back to what you love. when everyone and everything works together, business just sings.

>> thomas, welcome. >> hi. >> are you going to bring sunshine? >> i wore this tie to force the spring. >> with us from washington, d.c., we got nbc news chief white house correspondent and host of "the daily rundown" chuck todd. chuck, we're going to have katty get to the latest poll. what do you have? >> there's a new poll that's just come in from nbc. but let's start with the overseas numbers. 37% approve of how president obama is handling the situation in ukraine. that's a six-point drop from last month. just 19% of americans want the u.s. to take a more active role in world affairs. nearly half favor less active approach. those numbers have changed significantly from back in 2001, by the way. the poll shows 38% approve of that president's handling of foreign policy. that's the lowest level of his presidency. overall, the president's job
approval rating stands now at 44%. that's a few points better than last month's record low. that could weigh on democrats, though, heading into november's midterms. overall, 63% of those polled said the country is on the wrong track. 27% see things moving in the right direction. and, of course, whoever inherits the white house in 2016, that's going to be a concern for them. so far, hillary clinton is far outpacing two of her owe terrible gop rivals when it comes to favorability. the foresecretary of state is viewed significantly more positively than former governor jeb bush or senator rand paul. >> chuck todd, obama's approval ratings holding pretty steady. affordable care act stuck in the mid-30s. what's it mean? >> it's an important development in the last six months, joe, if you look at it both the president's approval rating and the health care numbers,
basically the approval rating of the health care law are at six-month highs. meaning they're basically back to where they were the week before the website debacle. we were in the field, basically government shutdown, right when before we new the website was a total disaster. >> but it was like 36%? >> that's my point. and it had gotten worse over the last six months. the point of the poll is this, joe. the poll numbers are better, they're still not good, okay? there is slight improvement on the health care law. and that directly related to slight improvement for president obama. because what was amazing in this poll, i don't think i've ever seen this in the history of our poll, the president's rob rating on the economy and rob rating on foreign policy are both lower than this overall job rating. it's unique that the sum is actually greater than the parts. usually one of the two is dragging him down. so in this case, you see that
basically health care is the driver for him now. it got him back to just barely underwater. versus before, i think he was much farther and a much better place. >> chuck, two-part question, one, do democratic strategists think they can do well number with the president's numbers where they are now and what's the strategy to improve the numbers? >> well they still need to get better. if you look inside his numbers, for instance the president's job rating those undecided on the generic ballot are is at 29%. the generic ballot is 45-45. you can argue it's not high enough to improve there. however, when you look at the makeup of the president's job rating and the improvements that were made, they were made in sort of the democratic coalition that democrats need to do well. and in particular, women. the gender gap. what's interesting here, while republicans are stronger, a
little bit stronger, among men than they were in 2010. they are in a much worse place among women than they were in 2010. so you do see this gender gap growing even bigger. and that is a way, potential, at least to not do as badly. that's an important development for democrats as well as these increased gender gaps. >> these are important, obviously, the programs are important to future. and help me assess this. i was talking to a fairly prominent person in american life. a person who i had to call late in the afternoon in november of 2008 to tell him that the exit polls indicated that barack obama would be elected president. and he called me back later that night, election night, crying, he was so happy, with the president. yesterday afternoon, he was telling me how disappoint he has been in the obama presidency of late. what do you think rumbles
beneath the surface of these numbers with that story? >> well, i do think they're going to end up getting better. i mean disdain for the health care law because so much has been said tab. a lot of misinformation, but as millions of people get health care it will go. i see that with louisiana. mary landrieu is now saying i was in favor of health care. likewise, cities in this country, unemployment has gone down to 5%. you're getting cities starting to recover. i think the president's approval rate will go go up. >> there's a level of disappointment. >> there's a disappointment, historically, when you look back and say, okay, we got out of the financial crisis. we have a boon of energy which i think we should exploit more and use against russia, frankly. we've also had a health care thing that's going to end up being good for this country.
historically, it's go to be better off for the polls. >> obviously, we'll know more in the november midterms. and how that pans out. as we look at the numbers and as they play out to who people like for 2016, it looks like hillary clinton is the big leader here and nobody can catch her, at least in this poll. >> i remember the same discussion in. 20 2007. obviously, she's in a good position. liberals, these not the liberal candidate, there's going to be someone who runs to her left. i just don't see it. you talk to a lot of people wary of betting into the race because of her money advantage. to barnacle's question, the reason people are disappointed with the president is because he overpromised and destined to deliver. i think that's obvious. if you look at the numbers with respect to what he's done, especially on health care, things are improving in terms of
the realm of public opinion. if you look at the numbers how people want to keep the minor fixes, that's only 48%. there's 28% that want a full repeal. the numbers are evening out a little. i think the republicans feel that it's nontenable. >> i agree with sam. the people yelling for total repeal of the law are the ones that are going to hit the backlash. you have a may have trend right now which is on economic opportunity. economic equality. whether the pope or anything else. i think republicans and democrats can come together to try to clear that. but if that doesn't happen, i think that's going to be obama's narrative for the next couple years. >> we shall see. chuck todd, before i let you go, "the wall street journal" has a headline americans want to pull back from the world stage poll
says." talk about that. >> you saw katty read that one number, 47% want us to be less active. we gave people a choice of what type of foreign policy that they want from a president. and while they want a president to be strong -- be a little more confrontational, they don't want us to be more involved. i think it actually explains the president's job rating, right? which is the more foreign policy is in the news, the more they just don't like it. so they don't approve of what he's doing in russia, thre38% o there. but ask them overall, they're fine with it, they're fine with the president's own style on foreign policy. i think you've got a little bit of a confused electorate, other than they just don't want to be involved. they just want to retreat. if the government gets involved overseas, they don't want to hear about it. that's the other thing that the president has. they don't want to hear about it. >> after years of war, you can certainly understand. chuck, thank you so much.
we're be checking you out on "the daily rundown." sam, thank you as well. greatly appreciate it. we're going to keep talking about this. davidaxelrod is coming in at 8:00 on the east coast. and we'll get david's reaction, when the president is talking about foreign policy, he's losing. coming up, straight ahead, foreign policy. the ukraine, reaching a new high as pro-russian militants continue their siege, just acting in brutish ways. two of the best in the industry, dr. brzezinski and david ignatius. first, dylan dreyer joins us with the latest on the deadly tornado outbreak next up on "morning joe."

[ male announcer ] introducing xfinity my account. available on any device. the south is recovering from yet another day of wild weather, bill karins from last night from pensacola, florida, about 10:30 last night. i had friends and relatives calling me telling me about how horrible it was there.
a couple ready to get into a bathtub right in the area. as you said the waters, the flooding historic? >> they're saying i haven't seen it like this like ever. like to the 1950s. it's going to be 60 years. we're getting crests on rivers now that we haven't had in many hurricane. this is a live shot from pen pensacola towards the downtown area. this is all around the region the water's starting to recede, too. we're adding up the damage going through the days. there's a 4-year-old girl in a kayak in her living rolf in gulf short, alabama. the water came down so fast. six inches of rain in 45 minutes in pensacola. imagine that six inches of rain in 45 minutes. there's no water in the world that can add up that much rain that fast. it's starting to slowly move out now. even destine got nearly a foot of rain in the last 24 hours.
panama city, flash flooding going. mobile was horrible last night. they had amazing water rescues done by the firefighters. the rain's going up the east coast. the worst of the flooding is by far down by areas of north florida. it's interesting we didn't get the tornadoes yesterday but we did have this horrible flooding. and we're still actually recovering from the tornadoes that we belt with two grace. we want to go to nbc's dylan dreyer in mississippi where everyone is still getting out of the shock stage, aren't they? >> reporter: they certainly are, bill. but get thing is there's a whole different feel to the air in pearl, mississippi. we've lost that humidity indicating that there are no new storms in the forecast today for this area. residents were allowed back in this neighborhood to begin to sift through the rubble and try to pick up some of the pieces of their lives. unfortunately, the same can't be said everywhere. those deadly footing conditions continue as the storms slowly spread east.
and people realize the devastation from these storms and let that settle in. from hell to high water. firefighters had to rescue this man from a fast-moving creek in mobile. as lightning lit up another stormy night in the south with hundred us of reported strikes from the mississippi delta up into georgia. >> it's touching down. it's touching down. >> reporter: more than 130 twisters reported since sunday. from kansas. >> did you see what happened to our house? >> reporter: -- to north carolina. >> we ran into the house. and trying to hurry up and get everybody in the bathroom. >> reporter: but a branch which hit this house came crashing in. the human toll is growing with more than 30 people dead, among them john servati a swimmer at the university of alabama. friends say he died a hero holding up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it
collapsed on him. >> john did great things every day. of the fact that he does that did not surprise me. >> reporter: and did wassom, an iraq war veteran shields his two young daughters. >> he loved his girls, loved his wife. >> reporter: wassom's father found his son's photo in the wreckage. >> man, he was a good boy, guys. i wish you knew him. >> reporter: in pearl, mississippi, angie coleman took us through what's left of her mother's home. >> this is her place. >> reporter: she said her mother usually ignores the warnings. but what made her leave this time? >> she had her grandbabies with her. that's the only reason they left. >> reporter: they got out safely and later found the dog they left behind at a nearby animal shelter. >> i love you. >> reporter: now, since sunday, the biggest concern has been for all of those tornadoes, more than 130 tornadoes as you just
heard. but now the concern is for that flooding. like what we're seeing in the panhandle of florida. these storms are very slow moving, bill, as you know. and now it's the east coast that could see perhaps an isolated tornado but it's more a threat of straight line wind gusts and more flooding as the rain comes down. >> dylan, thanks so much. what a four-day stretch. finish it up with flooding and as you mentioned isolated tornadoes appreciate your work there in pearl, mississippi. joe, you got the gift ost of it. how about this heroic rescue. a firefighter went across the river just in a life jacket and a rope to drag that man across the raging water into safety. that was in the middle of the night in mobile, alabama. >> thank you so much, bill. do appreciate it. coming up next, how only one man took the fall for the worst economic collapse in financial
history. reporter jesse icinger from "the new york times" will explain that straight ahead. and barack obama's poll numbers are hitting lows but is there hope for the embattled president? is this a defining moment for this white house? david axelrod is going to join us and tell it what it mean for control of the senate straight ahead. red and seventy-seven thousand dollars per minute.

times." >> it's a cliche nobody went to prison, it's only one guy. >> how did he hit the lottery ticket? >> well, a lot of dumb luck, you know? what happened was, he was a trait trader and executive at credit suisse. some of his traders lied about the portfolio. and credit suisse walked this in the door in the southern district of cork. the u.s. attorney's office in manhattan. that's basically how they got him. and they didn't get anyone else. so my piece is really about him. but also about why this hasn't -- >> so, answer the question, what a lot of americans wonder, how can it it be, that with all of the criminal behavior going on in wall street, leading up to acce september 15th, 2008, nobody but this poor guy went to jail? >> well, there's sort of many
theories. i don't think it's conspiracy. i think what was was learned incompetence. essentially they had a decade of fiascos and mistakes and adverse rulings. and that took away their skill set to not only -- >> is that the prosecutors? >> we're talking about the department of justice as a whole. they went through a series of fiascos over the decade starting with arthur anderson. >> right. >> and they took bad lessons from that and they pulled back the investigative capabilities. >> how much did the transference of resources or lack of resources, within justice, specifically the fbi after september 11 have to do with seemingly turn a blind eye to wall street? >> i think that's a big deal. the department of justice was undergoing hiring freezes at the very moment when the investigation into the final crisis were gearing up. they have unwound the postal unit which was an expert unit on complex financial investigations. so that's one of it.
but there was a failure of will. they were very worried about losing. and so they could have done more with the resources they had and they didn't. >> katty kay is in washington and has a question. katty? >> think it not conspiracy theories. i was wondering what you thought about elizabeth warren's piece in politico where she points to the close ties in washington and particularly the white house and people on wall street and some kind of suggestion that there's political expediency and that's why they haven't gone after wall street and banks as hard as they might have done? >> i think the bailout was certainly a major mistake because they sought to preserve specific institutions, so that was questionable and had to do with their ties. i think the dog prosecutors had to do with those ties. we saw a major prosecutor just going there now.
you get ten times. they start off money minimum sa you start off with a million dollars as a lawyer and you've been making $100,000 as a prosecutor. you don't really want to piss off the people who are hiring you. >> what type of criminal activities should they have got i don't know? >> what i walk through in my piece is something about leman brothers. it's a classic thing when your bank is teetering, you're going toly about the cash on hand and what they did was systematically tell the market things that turned out to be obviously and identifiably untrue, that
basically said we have liquidity in stuff they actually pledged its collateral. this was the two cfos of lehman brothers. >> they could still be caught? >> no, it's all over. they did not even question in a serious way three offices of the department of justice and they didn't question the liquidity pool disclosures. >> jesse, thank you so much for being with us. we greatly appreciate it. we're going to lock for the article in this weekend's ""new york times" magazine. >> coming up, we'll have bob costas at 8:00 joining us. david axelrod will be here, joy reed and i think we may be able to drag chuck todd back to talk about the president's latest poll numbers. keep it right here on "morning joe."

joy reed, host of "the joy reed response." >> you know they're listening to us. >> and you pick the phone up and say i'll be in. and right, willie? is that how it goes? >> in this house, that is the way it goes. >> exactly. we don't have planning calls. director of thence constitute of politics, david axelrod. also with us, chuck todd. they're going to be crunching some numbers and talk about what it means not on for the president for legislation as we move forward to 2014 but also for the election in november. first, willie, let's go to news. >> after promising due process to donald sterling, nba commissioner adam silver delivered a swift and severe
judgment against the clippers owner for his racist remarks. >> the views expressed by mr. sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. that they came from an nba owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage. accordingly, effective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba. >> so what does that mean exactly? it means no practice, no games? he cannot be at the clippers facility, cannot weigh in on any personal decision, he can have no interaction with the team he owns ever again. that's on top of a maximum $2.5 million fine, which is nominal considering his estimated net worth of almost $2 billion. the question is how long sterling will own the clippers. that's also in doubt.
>> i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. >> so, bob, there will be a vote of the owner, requires three quarters of the owners to vote to oust sterling. >> it will be 29-0 or 29-1 if sterling's interests exercise their vote out of the 30 teams. even if there are some owners that have some misgivings, not because they have any sympathy with sterling, but because they think there's something about the process that disturbs them, they can't run the public relations risk to in any way side with sterling.
sterling would be bound by that decision and the only thing the nba can do is ensure he gets fair market value for the team. does this man that donald sterling, who has the history of being one of the most litigious people in america won't find some way to sue, i wouldn't bet against that. i think he made sure all the ducks were in a row before he made his decision. >> he's only been there three mens or less it and that. i think the only thing he could do, he didn't leave any breathing space, there no
criticism if you think sterling should be out of the league. >> the only criticism i've heard, there are some people concerned with the possibility that sterling's family could retain control of the team and you could have one of these situations where he's whispering in somebody's ear or calling from an unlisted phone. i don't think that will happen. i think they will line up a credible buyer, make sure that person passes muster and is above reproach. >> the nba has done what they had to do. but if there's any soul searching that comes out of this and any time something happens, they go now we're going to have the conversation we should have on race and we never do, the nba has to answer some questions. >> yeah. >> this guy obviously racially insensitive. elgin baylor sues for racial discrimination. this was a very open secret, yet the nba allowed this guy to
continue doing what he was doing until he was taped illegally. what does that say about the nba and david sterling's tenure? >> adam silver yesterday said it. you have a guy that's got this behavior and this is a sanction being taken only for the specific phone call, not accumulated past behavior. i was a little thrown off by all the high fiving, i have to say, yesterday. there is no finality to this while, first of all, he's still profiting from the team, which has just become even more profitable, the more games they win in the playoffs, the longer they stay in, he could walk away with an $700 million, $800 million pay day and his family is still profiting from the team. i wonder if the nba all coale e coalesced to save the season and the profitability of the league. there was one guy who represents
the players who say we need a timeline, a timetable, that's when this will be over, when this guy is no longer associated with the team. >> there are obviously larger issues than just basketball and one franchise here. one of those issues as bob costas and willie and joy just alluded to, there are other owners who knew about this guy, knew his background, the department of justice suing him. the issue is not just among nba onners but in our culture generally, they separate, other, that was donald in business. this is different now. now he's really crossed the line. what he did, discriminating against people in housing, that's just business. >> there's no question the attitudes he displayed on the phone -- the notion that he can discretely run the team by making phone calls, i think this
is a guy who will think twice about making discrete phone calls in the future. >> i don't think he knows what a discrete phone call is. >> i think mark cuban expressed concern about where all of this goes. i don't know what the business practices of all of the owners of the nba are but i think if you start scrutinizing them, you're going to find issues with more than one of them. >> and bob costas, mark cuban said what he did for a reason. there are other owners who might have believes that might be offensive to corporations. >> quite possible. i doubt anyone comes near to donald sterling. i'm not being naive by saying there aren't racist attitudes lurking in the shadows but somebody like sterling is an
outlier. >> how could that happen? >> he bought in in '91, they regret it, they couldn't find a way to oust him without a court -- >> did they ever try before? >> i couldn't say but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't lead him in that direction. i have to say in defense of david stern, no one is perfect but he ran the most progressive sports league in america for 30 years. you walk into the nba offices not five years ago but 25 years ago and up saw african-americans and women in positions of real responsibility, real responsibility. it wasn't just on the court, it wasn't just in the coaching ranks. it's so common place in the nba for general managers, for coaches, for league executives to be african-americans that you get the ideal situation, it's not news when they're hired and not news when they're fired.
>> bob, you know what strikes me? i've been a season ticket holder for the chicago bulls since 1976. when i bought my season ticket, i think it cost $6 each, each seat. we had a very, very class mixed, race-meksed crowd. it struck me when i heard sterling's comments when he said don't bring blacks to the basketball game is we don't have great class and racial mix in the audience. so the truth is the nba has priced itself out. >> yes. there's some of that. there's definitely some of that. >> maybe if he had a more mixed -- maybe if he had a more mixed crowd, he'd have at least to think about what he was saying. that's one of the things that bothers me about the nab be in and i love the nba, is that the average fan, white and black, has been priced out of the arena. >> and at the owner level you
don't have that diversity. and i do think that sports in general has been ahead of the rest of society often in our history in terms of recognizing the need to integrate and also just the experience of people playing together, working together has created more tolerance. but you also had a situation where doc rivers was working for a man that he must have known, must have experienced to have these horrible racial views. you have to wonder a little bit how can you tolerate a league that is predominantly african-american on the court, where you have a black coach working for a man who is demonstrably behaving in racist ways. elgin baylor's credibility i'd put up against his every day and the work environment -- the players may not have been dealing with this guy but the coach experienced it. you wonder why wasn't anything done over time? >> those questions will be asked not on about what happened inside the clippers organization but also within the front office of the nba. like you said, everybody's going
to clean this up, they're going to high five each other and then they'll have to ask how this guy was able to stay in power for 30 years. we have, chuck, the new wall street journal polls coming out, we want to talk about that, the president and the 2016 campaign. you asked the question of president obama on this issue. tell bus about it. >> i gave him the option to comment. i thought what was interesting was he had a lot to say, he wanted to do that. after that press con presence in malaysia, i talked to a few of his aides and he was telling me he was prepping them and he knew everything about sterling's past, he had been following the story very closely and he saw the opportunity as a way to sort of raise the bar a little bit for the nba. he named by name dropping commissioner silver in there, to have him realize that this is the action that needed to be taken and hoped that whatever it
took, you know, to have more public comments, add more weight to the issue, to encourage the decision that the commissioner ended up coming with. so it just was fascinating to find out how much not only that it want his staff prepping him but one of those cases the reverse. that's how closely he had followed the story and how much he knew about sterling's past. >> i think in many ways the last four days have shown the strength of the nba, not just adam silver but magic johnson, charles barkley -- >> and a number of white players, too. >> yes. this in many ways was a good moment for the nba. >> i think and i don't want to be naive here, but this guy is such an outlier, that i think is speaks well for the progress -- still plenty of progress to be made but the progress that has been made.
no one's trying to make excuses for this guy, no one's trying to soft pedal what he did. there is strong, outspoken disapproval from every place on the spectrum, conservative, liberal, moderate, black, white. there may be guys lurking in the shadows like donald sterling but there's no place in mainstream america for these attitudes any longer. his biggest punishment is that he's a pariah. he's 81 years old. i don't know how much longer he'll be around. there aren't many places he can go without people averting their glance for the rest of his life. >> it's a matter of time now for him in the nba. please, as a yankee fan, keep going to fenway. i appreciate it very much. >> actually go, to yankee stadium, they need the fans. >> i went to yankee stadium last night and they lost. >> you were one of the three people there. >> i had to call the game.
there were about 5,000 people shivering. >> a little sparse. >> a little sparse. >> we've been break down the nbc news/wall street journal poll this morning. 21% of voters had a positive view of jeb bsh, 32% negative. and when asked about former first lady barbara bush's comments that there were quote, more than two or three offices that should run for high office in america, 69% agreed with that statement, 25% disagreed. chuck todd, what stood out to you? >> i think what stood out was jeb bush. the last time we measured it, in the last year, his numbers have gotten worse, not better. he's become more prominent over the last two or three monies,
he's been more public, he's gotten more attention, partially because christie has had his on political problems but he's gotten attention as the establishment alternative front-runner. you have to be concerned if you're jeb bush. as you've gotten more attention, your numbers have got i don't know worse, not better. as you've become more public, your numbers have got i don't know worse, not better. he's okay among establishment, pretty much a 2-1 establishment rating. among tea party republicans, he starts with a net negative and then contrasts that to rand paul, who is enormously popular with tea party republicans, which is half the party, has offer 50% positive rating. no other person right now that we've measured has gotten over 50%. these weren't good numbers for
jeb, especially when you consider the more prominent he's got i don't know over the last three months. >> the poll finds the world wants to pull back from the world stage. you've always said that's not a positive for the president. the ukraine numbers, it seems like the americans don't want to be involved in foreign policy but they still expect everything to go wonderfully in foreign policy. so the president has a difficult situation with vladimir putin and suddenly his leadership is called into question. what do you, as a guy who has read far too many polls in your lifetime, how do you have dissect that and what do you tell politicians moving forward what americans expect from their foreign policy? >> i think one of the hangovers from the long war in iraq and
afghanistan is people really have turned inward, that combined with the economic climate has turned inward. the reason rand paul is doing better than jeb bush is he's fundamentally anti-institution -- every institution is polling badly. the military does all right, but they're not doing as well as they used to be. and, secondly, people are turning inward. so we have a country that is more isolationist, anti-institution, people feel they're not getting a fair shake. the other thing i'd say, joe, about the point that chuck was making about jeb bush is jeb bush has two problems. one is the name bush, which is still not a popular name in our politics. the second is that he's an establishment guy but he's a guy who has been ready to take some
stands on common core standards, on immigration, that are completely antithetical to the base of his party. i still think he could be a strong general election candidate, but i'm not sure how he gets through that process without making major, major compromises that would make him a bad general election candidate. it's very, very difficult to -- >> joy? >> the theory of the case for people around jeb bush, at least i talked to and i'm sure you know a lot of the same people was that at a srn point the tea party wing of the party would become unpopular enough that essentially the party would come back to him and if he waited long enough, the bush brand would improve over time. that theory, the problem this that theory is the tea party wing of the party is unpopular in the -- at large, but within the republican party it's still the majority, it's still very
strong. so somebody like a rand paul is in a strong position. >> that is the paradox, the things that would make you a strong general election candidate make you a difficult primary candidate in the republican party. until they solve that problem, they're going to have a hard time winning a national election. >> chuck, be the magellan for us. if jeb bush gets in on those first three or four republican primaries that he would have to endure. >> it starts in iowa. we've already soon the establishment has ebb senssenti lost iowa three, four straight times. what works in iowa is an evangelical populist, mike huckabee won. new hampshire should be better terrain for him but new
hampshire has a libertarian streak so you could see rand paul also doing pretty well there. the one up side for jeb is if hillary is not contested. but then you get down to south carolina and, again, an evangelical populist is what's going to end up being more likely to win down there, not somebody like jeb, particularly if you look at the issues of common core and all this. i think joy brings up the correct point of what's sort of jeb bush's problem because of the popularity of the tea party. now, that said, we may be going through a month, this month is going to be the biggest test the tea party has had in a long time for survival. they could get shellacked this month and not win in any test they're contesting. i don't think the establishment beating them back will somehow
still hurt the tea party movement or at least the position that people agree with inside the party and that's going to be also troublesome for jeb. >> all right, chuck. thank you so much. what do you have planned for "the daily rundown"? >> a will the more on the poll, more on the clippers. i got angus king talking about money. the koch brothers have higher name i.d. among democrats and that they do independents or republicans. they're talking to themselves on the koch brothers. i don't think it's penetrating with persuasion voters. >> that's what i've always said about certain wings of my party. doesn't really do a whole lot of good if you're just preaching to the choir. you got to actually turn around and talk to the congregation. thank you so much, chuck. looking forward to that. joy reid, stick around with us if you can. coming up, in ukraine, pro-russian militants are storming offices and taking over
more government buildings. we're excited to have dr. brzezinski and david ignatius back together. we'll ask them if there's anything president obama a can do to get vladimir putin's attention. but first, bill karins, what's the weather going to be like? >> epic amounts of rainfall in southern alabama and this is from the pensacola area last night. i-10 has been shut down for the last eight to nine hours, people stuck in their cars, can't move, just waiting for the water to recede. there is literally a river running over i-10. weep just got word that they're going to open it quickly. maybe they did already. those pictures from mobile,
that's a man clinging from a tree and the firefighter rescuing him. how harrowing is that? a weather watching outside of downtown pensacola, he had for the entire rainfall event, 24 1/2 inches of rain. no wonder that are dealing with historic event in the pensacola area. the fish river in southern alabama, that one just crested. that's good. a lot of rescues going on there. we could see isolated in virginia, north carolina, south carolina today and of course the northeast is cold and soggy and airport delays, hour maf in laguardia, two hours in philadelphia. those delays will probably build throughout the day. we'll bring you more amazing pictures from the gulf kcoast a

♪ >> leave ukraine in peace and work with us together to create a strong ukraine, a ukraine that is not the pawn pulled at and tugged at between east and west but a ukraine that could be a bring to both. >> that of course secretary of state john kerry in the news this past week for a lot of different reasons. with us to talk about it from washington, former national security adviser for president carter, dr. brzezinski, the author of "strategic vision,
america and global power" and david ignatius, who is just returning from the trip to the middle east. dr. brzezinski, i want to talk to you about the stakes over europe. but first, the peace talks in the middle east have broken down. what's the next step? >> for the united states? >> well, what's the next step for this ongoing process that you dedicated a good bit of your life to, finding peace in the middle east. >> well, if they cannot be resumed, which i assume it will still be attempted to do, we should probably go public on what our view of what a fair settlement ought to be like. i think we have views on the subject. i suspect the views we have would be supported overwhelmingly by the national
security and probably by a majority of the palestinians and we shouldn't let some politicians over there paralyze the process for short, tactical objectives. >> dr. brzezinski, the president's plan to lead from behind with gadhafi seemed to work where you had the air bleed going out in front. it's worked in other areas as well and has drawn a lot of controversy. isn't it yours position that when it comes to middle east peace, the united states still remains the indispensable power, it has to be engaged fully and has to be aggressive and has to lead? >> absolutely. look at the american-israeli relationship? we're close friends, we're financing the country on a huge scale, more than any other nation in the world, we're arming it more than any other nation in the world so i think we have a say. in addition to it, we're important in the region and the region is important to us.
so we clearly have an enormous stake in the outcome. we have tried in good faith to promote negotiations in the par party, they have proven unwilling to be trustworthy. >> david ignatius, you have just returned from iraq and syria in the middle east. obviously another round of bombings in iraq recently, more bloodshed and the syrian crisis continues. what did you find? >> i've basically found that you've got civil wars in both countries. i talked to sunni iraqi military and political leaders who are waging a real campaign now against prime minister maliki in
baghdad. it's reminiscent of the worst days in 2006 and 2007 when the u.s. was trying to keep that civil war from breaking out and had some success. what a tragedy that after stopping the violence, the u.s. and maliki, the prime minister, have allowed it to continue. in syria, you have a brutal, bitter stalemate, those from refugee camps, meeting to talk to me, i have a feeling this is going to be a grinding war with thousands killed every month until the u.s. has a policy. people say we should start
talking to bashar al assad, but i don't think he can unite that country. the u.s. really has no obligation but to be a leader. everybody looks to the u.s. for guidance. >> we have david axelrod in chicago. david? >> dr. brzezinski, i read your piece on the you've crane. i have a question about vladimir putin. one of the paradoxes here is he seems to be gaining political popularity in russia for his actions in ukraine. at what point do economic sanctions shift that, or do they? does he shift the blame for them to the u.s. and does it continue to make him popular in his own country or can we erode his strength at all through economic sanctions that bring the russian economy down? >> i think we can. but only if it did no longer appear as his methods are
successful. after all, he grabbed crimea by force but nothing happened from the international community and the ukraine did not resist. he's not destabilizing ukraine and they don't seem to be very effective in responding to it. as long as that goes on, probably he'll have support from the russians who feel this is somehow or other a national self-assertion. but as soon as the sanctions begin to bite, i think that will begin to change and if we encourage the ukrainians to be firmer, by being willing to help them in republic cystisisting, providing defensive arms because there are indications the russians may want to swipe more territory and occupy the country. and last but not lease, at the same time we should offer the russians the possibility of a compromise. and in the article in the wall street journal to which i think
you refer, i outline a compromise. just if i may make one more point, i think the president by now should really speak to the country. this is a very dangerous international problem, potentially really dangerous. the president needs to begin to focus the country's attention away, say, from the nba to world affairs and in particular to the challenge that putin posing to international instability. >> david ignatius, off of what dr. brzezinski just said and off the fact that you just returned from iraq and syria, what did you find in iraq and syria, what's the level of expectation for the united states' role in the countries you just visited. >> i was on the borders of iraq and syria but was actually in
jordan doing this reporting. what i find is that people look to the united states in these increasingly chaotic situations for leadership and clarity. there really is no other country like the united states. they may hate us, be furious at us, but they still look to us for guidance. >> do you mean weapons? >> there are lots of different places, in dealing with civil war in syria, some program of training and assistance for the syrian opposition seems to make sense to me and a lot of people. i think president obama has decided on that. some additional efforts in iraq, done that through the uniformed military but other ways i think are ahead. in ukraine i'm struck by the way, as dr. brzezinski says, obama is trying to find this
rational path in which the u.s. doesn't take risks beyond what the country is prepared to follow up p through on and putin keeps not responding. i think that putin is digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole in ukraine but i keep waiting for him to realize it and recognize the long-run problems he's creating for russia. >> david ignatius, thank you so much. dr. brzezinski, thank you as well, always great to have you. david, thank you very much as well. joy, what are the president's options? i talked about leading from behind. obviously this president is reacting to 12 years of war, reacting to what americans want, which is less of a role. but you like at ukraine, look at syria, look at iraq. he may have to get out of his comfort zone and get more aggressive. i'm not talking militarily but
diplomatically. >> there are two questions. the american public tends to respond positive to the theatrics of toughness. we like our president to seem like the boss. but at the same time the american people don't want to actually get involved so walking that line is difficult. and this is a president who isn't that excited about doing the theatrics of the presidency. he's more of a mechanic, wants to do the mechanics of it. on the mechanics of it, the president is doing the right thing but the theatrics on it, that's where the question is. >> and theatrics, whether you're talking about fdr, the day after pearl harbor or ronald reagan saying, "mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall," theatrics is important and the president said it, "i don't do theater."
>> when it comes to vladimir putin, this guy is in it for the marathon, he has a six-year term. whoever gets the baton, they've got to deal with vladimir putin. the traction he gets now on president obama's water is part of president obama's legacy. by the time 2016 rolls around, who knows where he'll be. in 2008 he went into georgia, there are still russian forces in georgia. we'll have to wait and see what happens. >> coming up, twitter takes another hit in the markets as the stocks fall 11%. why earning announcements has wall street very worried, especially because they're actually making money. we'll be right back with more "morning joe."

we're trying to get joy off the ledge right now, she invested it all in twitter. sara eisen, what's going on with the stock? >> investors were not impressed, even though sales doubled. it's the number of users that was a little discouraging. people are wondering whether twitter can have the same kind of growth and scale that facebook has, 255 million monthly active users. it was only an increase of 14 million. that was a little disappointing when it comes to growth prospects down the road. also gdp, our nation's economy

massive evacuations is underway. the death toll sitting at 25 is expected to rise. the mers virus is spreading here in america. now a third possible case in the u.s. doctors say it could spread through something as simple as a hand shake. we'll have a report from dr. nancy snyderman in a few minutes. and the va admits 23 people have died because of delayed care. a new information points, though, to a far deeper problem. an ohio paper says delayed treatment is a factor in more than 100 deaths. we'll be looking into that. and it was a packed house for friday's first know your value conference which donny missed in hartford. hundreds of women took part in a wide ranging issues. we're going to show you some of the highlights coming up. >> mea culpa, i was privileged

>> how was the conference? >> it was amazing. we'll have more coming up. you owe me some shoes. let me get to the shoes. first heading into the heat of the election season. according to politico. likely voters around the country would prefer a republican over a democrat by seven points. nine in ten say the health care law would be important in determining their vote. 60% of the voters say the health care debate should not be over. but a number that perhaps could help democrats, 58% say a candidate's stance on the income disparity between men and women will impact their decision in november. we have a story coming up connected to that. these numbers come as some of the toughest races will be decided tomorrow. races playing out across the map from oregon to pennsylvania to
the deep south. despite big money from the senate conservatives fund, tea party candidate matt bevin trails mitch mcconnell. the senate majority leader is on cruise control. but the same poll shows mcconnell trailing democratic likely challenger alison lundergan grimes. david perdue seeming in the lead. but it would take both slashing, spending, and increasing revenue to take down the debt. it's what his opponents have jumped on. >> he never voted in a regular republican primary. he's flip-flopped on issues that are key to republican voters' common core. and now we found out just this week that he seems to be a little bit soft when u it comes to not raises taxes. >> i use the word revenue.
revenue is a code word for taxes in politics, obviously. the point i've been making for over a year is we've got to get the economy going that will increase the tax base and help the crisis. >> voter turnout is expected to be below 20% and at least three other candidates are in striking distance. the winner takes on michelle nunn. then there's mississippi where chris mcdaniel is trying to unseat thad cochran. a blogger has been charged with felony for taking a picture and posting a photo online of cochran's wife who was in nursing home. what? the blogger clayton thomas kelly is a mcdaniel supporter. but what's the point of this? how would that not backfire? >> politics these days has become more and more nonsense. >> mcdaniel has condemn's the blogger's actions.
first of all, we'll be hearing from kasie hunt in the next hour. big conversation on the midterms and what's going on with those primaries. but what do you make of those polls and how it looks it's playing out on the campaign trail? >> start with the politico poll. the important part there is the poll was just in competitive house and senate areas. it's not a national poll. it's where the elections will be decided and republicans have a decisive advantage. and the fact that 90% of people have very passionate feelings about health care shows you that is the singular issue of the campaign and does tilt the republicans' way. which is the reason they have that lead. you have that broader environment. then inside of that, the big story of the campaign has been that the establishment has been able to get better candidates, to get more money in to support those candidates and beat back the most electable candidates in the races. we don't know what's going to happen in georgia. one of the most interesting things you said about the
georgia is less than 20% of voters are going to vote in that primary. there's almost more candidates than there are people that will vote. but it does look like an establishment-backed candidate will win. you come out of those with the candidate republicans want. >> donny? >> obviously your poll shows for health care a robust issue for republicans. but as we get close to the general election and as better and better news comes out for health care, is there a possible misstep waiting in the wings for republicans here? >> that's always a possibility. in durability in health care numbers i see on which people planning on voting do oppose the law work in the republicans' favor. the other thing to keep an eye on is win back the senate, i would look at that poll you're talking about in kentucky where it's really a dead heat for
whether or not mitch mcconnell can -- thought it was going to be down. almost every poll i've seen shows he's up. this is still very much up for grabs. i think health care is going to be the issue which is why every outside group is pouring money into that issue. >> i think they can capitalize on income inequality. are you surprised at the numbers? >> i think alison grimes is a better candidate. >> have we underestimated her? >> the sense of those in the national press are wrong. i've met her. i've wachd her. she has performed at a lel that democrats in that state are proud of. i watched matt bevin, a republican opponent for mcconnell, yesterday on one on the sunday shows. even if he said he wouldn't support grimes, he said he
wouldn't support mitch mcconnell. if we know any kind of division amongst republicans could open a door for her to win narrow in this race. i give her a lot of credit for hanging tough. and obviously hanging well to beat the head bot with the error in news polls. >> whether the president has been completely successful against the republican opposition or not. that is a fair shot. and the issue of equal pay within that, but the income disparity problem that we are seeing in this country. people like elizabeth warren who are heroes on the left and you've also, donny, got companies now stepping up realizing if people aren't going to come around in washington, we're going to do what we have to do. we're going to do what we can do. >> the health care law worked better in kentucky than it did in other states. that could be one of the key factors to the extent the political poll is being decided. >> he opened up kentucky's
health care state exchange. didn't rely on the federal government and they were able to get people in the special statewide program that other states could try to emulate. >> i think his opponent is -- >> she's not running on that. >> portland, oregon, is pulling its money out of one of the biggest corporations. the city will no longer invest in walmart. the city has adopted socially responsible concerns. wages is mentioned in this as well. by 2016 the city will have eliminated $36 million in holdings or about 3% of the city's portfolio. >> it's interesting. particularly with millennials today, corporations behaving the right way has everything to do
with income inequality, so on and so forth. this also goes back to the health care thing and the republican party of no. it's all about populism today. as our nation, as these young people come up, they want income inequality across demographics. they want it across sex. they want companies to behave a certain way. and they want health care for the masses. and i still believe that although on paper this health care argument seems to be juicy for republicans, as we get to november, the issue will backfire. >> i totally agree with you. and the argument against that is you don't want everybody to have health care, really? >> it's all the same blush. it's all about a populist nation. >> the story after story of walmart employees, mcdonald's employees getting food stamps or living below the poverty line.
it's impossible in this country to say i'm against a minimum wage hike. are you serious? >> the one thing we've seen from the issue with minimum wage and so many fast food worker strikes and that's ignited a fire worldwide about what that means for quality paywise. >> and women by the way. >> but we get the video, right? we get the video of the protests and we can see them really relate to what they're trying to say, but donny's point to millennials and how they organize now. it's hash tag protests. it's social media. >> the fact -- two things that concern me about what democrats in the congress and white house have not been able to accomplish, number one is that. number two, makes no sense why they have taxed private equity who are benefitting from the interest. they tax people over a quarter million dollars a higher rate. the thing they haven't done to address one of the great
inequities that could create extra resources for small businesses who say if i raise minimum wage, it hurt this bottom line. the fact we're not producing higher paying jobs is equally as shameful. >> in this morning's "usa today," the front page dominates with the at&t's purchase of directv for $48 billion. it's a huge challenge to cable and stands to reshape content on everything from mobile devices to tvs to tablets. to offer a single bill for cell phone, internet, and tv. that would be nice. it still needs to go through the fec. but if approved, the entertainment giant would serve 26 million people. let's bring in david goust who wrote the story. what is it for the consumer in terms of when this could come to
pass and how it would change their lives? >> the companies say if this does come to pass, it would probably not show up on your bill until next year. what it could mean is the second largest wireless provider in the country would also then become the second largest paid tv provider. that represents part and parcel the big part in the entertainment industry. that is not done. >> my gosh. it's -- i'm trying to think of a bigger deal that -- >> obviously the comcast/time warner deal was in this same vain. the end of the day, we want to watch our "morning joe." so in the past whether it was a cable, now it's a possibly device, whether it's a telephone company. he or she who has content equals ie balls, equals winners. >> when it comes to how many devices you have to have around your house for sure.
but david, what are some of the challenges going through. all these deals sound amazing in the headlines but anything could take it down to an extent. >> regulators are in a bind. they want to compete with wire companies. they want more competition from comcast and very verizon. they're faced with not letting these companies get too big. a couple of major media and technology companies serving the vast majority of more thanes. there are already these pending deals. comcast is trying to acquire time warner cable. sprint has made no secret of its ambition to take over t-mobile. regulators may have to step back and say what does the new landscape look like together before letting one of these go ahead.
>> in every industry, the good news here versus take the pharmaceutical industry where you've got pfizer making a bid to astrazeneca, that's to move the money out of the country. >> as long as that's not hurt by this deal, i think it's something the fcc should look favorably on. >> thank you very much. all right. the u.s. transportation department is ordering gm to pay $35 million for waiting a decade to recall 2.6 million cars over defective ignition switches. that is the maximum penalty allowed. an internal investigation is focusing on how the legal team handled the safety issues. they released a report of words they were told to refuse using. we're shaking our heads. instead of the word problem, employees were to say condition, issue, or matter.
and they were urged to say does not perform to design instead of defect. do you smell coverup? >> other words they weren't allowed to use, "titanic," things like that. >> at least 13 deaths have been linked to the faulty ignition switches. it was the focus of a special documentary last night on cnbc called failure to recall. >> they asked us to investigate further to try to determine exactly what happened knowing we may never know the answer. >> cooper hired an engineer, mark hood, who started testing cobalt ignition switches he bought from junk yards. when he compared older switches to newer ones, he discovered something shocking. >> when he put the replacements through the test protoll kal. he found they were almost three times stronger as far as the difficulty to turn the key.
he said you're not going to believe what i found. i said what, he said they changed the switch. >> cooper and hood realized gm had changed a part quietly. >> the s.e.c. and justice department are resurgeoning. >> the company, this is a terrible thing to say, but it's true. the company we're going after, that company doesn't exist anymore because it dissolved. there's a new gm now. the liabilities don't follow the new company. it's a murky and dicey situation. >> it is a new gm today. >> legally. >> completely. and look. this is a serious problem, but this is a completely different organization. there's a woman running general motors now. theoretically peeking, you couldn't have a different type of management. >> she knows the culture of gm that got them to this point.
the big thing for anyone that has a gm, this is on you to figure out if this car is under this recall and figure it out. because these things have caused deaths. >> bankruptcy? the company, are you going to say it's a new gm now? >> no. don't misunderstand me. where the recourse is. i think this is terrible. and there needs to be a fix to this. these families need to be taken care of. the thing i've not heard that i'll likely hear from gm is this problem has been fiked and going forward you have nothing to worry about. >> i don't know how you trust that at this point if they're telling to mislead people. can you just declare bankruptcy. is there a problem with the bankruptcy laws and just legally be completely of everything but also morally. >> obviously not morally, clearly. >> i feel really sour for the first female president of a car
company. but this is unacceptable. >> also, just before as we were doing that figure on friday for the cnbc report, there was a new gm recall that came out. so they have this litany of problems. again, it is on the people who own the vehicle or people in the market looking for a vehicle to buy. go to their website and figure if the vehicle is under recall. >> "the new york times" has issued a more detailed statement explaining the reasons behind the firing of executive editor jill abramson. equal pay for women is an important issue in our country, one that "the new york times" often covers. but it doesn't help to advance the goal of pay equality to cite the case of a female executive whose compensation was not, in fact, unequal. i decided that jill could no longer remain as executive editor for reasons having nothing to do with pay or
gender. jill is an outstanding journalist and editor but i concluded her management of the newsroom was simply not working out. >> you know, i wasn't here friday. i know you had a lot of this last week. two points. number one, i've had people in the same exact job at different pay scales because maybe their seniority is different. that's number one. we have to be careful. it sounds like a lot of people in "the new york times" says she wasn't doing a great job. there's always a dangerous pay saying i was fired because i was a woman, because i was an african-american, because i was gay. and there's two sides to this sword. if you do a deep dive here, you are going to find out from her subordinates she was not well liked and she was very hard on the furniture. and, you know, it's very easy to rush to, oh, she was fired because of gender. >> i think there's a level of potential reality to what you're saying. it might or might not be true. but it's to be considered.
having said that, the numbers that we're learning in erm thes of who was paid what and what she had to do to get the pay she deserved, that's a story within itself. because it's -- and it might be hers to tell at some point. she's actually speaking at wake forest this week. >> i think today, right? >> is it today? >> i believe so. they said she was tough and abrasive. when guys are tough and abrasive, they get treated differently than women are. hopefully we'll get more, i think it makes "the new york times" look kbrt. but right now they don't look good. >> this is what we talked about at the know your value conference. equal pay, the descriptions used for us in terms of leaders, women. we talked about all of that. take a look. >> could you make a lot of noise? that's pretty good.
great ased advocates for our s s spouses, business partners, bosses, friends, kids. we are so fierce. but when we make the case for our own value, what happens? where do we go? what happens to our personalities? we start to self-deprecate, we depreciate, we apologize. and usually we get less. and it's time for that to stop. isn't it? i think it is. and we can all start by just stopping with saying the "s" word. how many of you today said it several times? i'm sorry i didn't mean to get in the way. i'm sorry, i know this is a bad time. how many have done that? somebody apologized to me walking in the room. i'm sorry. why? you're lying. so don't do it anymore. don't use that word.
>> it's so true. the women over the years who have asked me for a raise are always apologizing. whereas men are like, or i'm out of here. >> then there's the jill story. are we afraid of it? we'll see much more coming up in the show. coming up on "morning joe," third instance of the deadly mers virus has been detected in the u.s. but there's something unique about this case that has doctors extremely concerned. and south korea's president is taking action after the death of 300 people. we'll explain today in morning papers. michael jackson stuns people at the billboard music awards. huh? we'll show you in news you can't use. we'll be right back. ♪

♪ officials are assessing the damage this morning in california following a series of raging wildfires. evacuation orders have been lifted and people are now returning to their neighborhoods. but sadly for dozens of people there was simply nothing left. at least 47 houses completely destroyed. three businesses and an apartment complex are also in ruins. >> we've had maybe five fires since we've built it and they've always used my house as a staging area because it's pretty safe. we had firefighters spend the night here. and this time we didn't see any of that. >> this house was a house that filled a lot of people with joy. my parents always hosted parties. a lot of people have had great memories here. so it's hard to see that change. >> there's nobody here. so we walked in here earlier this morning and it feels like armageddon.

just got through with, any time there's a heat wave with the winds, it'll happen again. also the middle of the country. north texas and oklahoma is in a pretty bad drought too. we have rain in wisconsin through minneapolis and the dakotas. what a fantastic weekend we just finished with. as we go through today, it's going to be gorgeous. the other story that was getting huge headlines over the weekend and these pictures make you open your eyes. the flooding situation, the catastrophe in places around serbia and croatia. they got nailed with three-months' worth of rains in three days. the rivers swelled up. they swallowed cities that were evacuated. a third of bosnia was under water. that's home to a million people. and the other thing, remember the civil war that took place not long ago. there were still huge open
fields that had active mines. and the flooding went over those areas. not only do we have flood water, but now we could have active mines that have been moved by these. they need a lot of help in that area. this is going to be a catastrophe that needs worldwide support. >> thank you. let's take a look now at the morning papers. from our parade of papers, "the los angeles times," the president of south korea is vowing to disband the coast guard over its response to the ferry disaster which left nearly 300 people dead. president park. the deadly mers virus. and for the first time it was transferred from one person to

the demographics, the upset would be kentucky. not georgia shifting. georgia is moving. georgia's going to be a swing state in 2020. but the question is does it -- do democrats have a chance a little bit quicker simply because maybe the republican primary, the eventual nominee gets farther to the right. and michelle nunn, there's a reason she lays down the points of light thing. whoa, i worked with george h.w. bush. we're about two cycles away from georgia being a swing state. >> caskasie hunt, you have an element for us. >> she did work closely with george h.w. bush and used his image in an ad but he's not supporting her. >> reporter: did you have his blessing to use his photo in
your ad? >> i worked for george hw bush in the points of light organization for years. the ad was focused on my history in service and the story of who i am. i think president george h.w. bush will continue to be republican and a leader of that party, but i think that we have a mutual admiration and one that i think will far outlast this political race. >> a spokesman for the former president, quote, we did not give approval for that and in fact the president was disappointed to see that his image had been included in a political ad as it was. as much as he personally likes and appreciates the job she did, he's stronger in his belief that republicans need to retake the senate. he looks forward to welcoming michelle back to points of light after her defeat. >> i have no problem with what
she did. this is part of her resume. >> i get it. i get what she's doing, donny. >> but ethically, i don't think there's anything wrong with it. this is who she is. >> no. but, jim vandehei, chuck todd was talking about how georgia's shifting to a swing. having said that, not so quickly, because as kasie pointed out, she doesn't necessarily sound like a democrat. and sounds like she's equivocating her way to the end. >> that's how you have to run in georgia. you asked a question would it be an upset. i think it would be an upset for a republican to lose in georgia. the fact she was talking about she didn't have a position on health care was the big e topic in american politics over the last five or six years and everybody paid attention to it. so i assume she did have a position at that time. but obviously can't state it because she has to run as a centralist. and i think she knows that once this primary is over and republicans rally around whoever
wins it on the republican side, those numbers are likely to shift and she'll go into this election in somewhat of a deficit. she knows a lot of outside money is coming the republican way. >> harold ford, good morning. having run a race in the south seven or eight years, and i'm confident she will have better success than i did. people says she doesn't sound like a democrat. she sounds like a democrat where she comes from. people want better schools, affordable health care. my question to you, her and alison lundergan grimes, don't they have to run the races they're running as democrats to have any chance of success in these states? >> i separate these two races a little bit because, look. the kentucky race is -- the question's going to be how much of a referendum is it on washington and mitch mcconnell.
obviously alison grimes wants to make it all of a referendum on mcconnell and washington. if she does that, hast that's her path to victory. she actually has more opportunity to win republican voters simply because of this potentially anger at mcconnell that she could tap into. in georgia, you're right. that's been the path to how conservative democrats and house races are there. think john barro who has survived for a long time. this is the tight rope he's walked on these issues. but i thought it was such a -- nothing screamed practiced politician like that answer michelle nunn gave on health care. you just can't -- it just doesn't come across as credible. what's at least more credible, saying, well, i supported it but i don't like this, this, and this. at least there's credibility when you give that answer. when you say well, i was busy doing another job swob ydoing -
>> you can't look back. come on. >> she has to give a better answer. if republicans could get david perdue, that's probably the best. he's very much the atlanta businessman candidate. boy, that's where w-- that's in the mold of saxby chambliss. these center right mainstream republicans. there's one prominent republican that has endorsed her. >> i love these interview. you honestly ask the question. then they hang themselves sometimes with their equivocating. because that answer kind of -- listen. i'd love for her to do well, don't get me wrong. but come on. >> i disagree. i think it's very -- if i were in the senate when the obamacare, affordable care came about, probably not inclined to vote for but maybe i could implement change to that. >> why couldn't you say that? >> i don't have a problem with
her saying don't saddle me with that. i'm looking forward. the real question perhaps kasie asked is how does she fix that. >> she has a pretty good answer for that. she says that among other things you need to put in a more affordable tier of health care. she has an answer on how to fix it. >> do not hide from health care. tie it to income inequality, say it was not done as well as it could be done, but i am for giving millions of more people health care as i am for income equality and go straight all in. >> this is what you're good at. also with us from washington, josh crosshaur. you guys have been calling all these races. but let's go to oregon. how does oregon fit into this picture? >> this is a race where the general election will be more
significant than the primary. republicans have worked to support a moderate republican physician by the name of monica webby. if this map gets big and there's been some polls that there's a possibility that happens, they recruit a credibility candidate in a female physician who's been spending money on very compelling adds. also running for re-election. if there's a big wave, oregon is going to be the place to watch. if monica webby is the republicans' favorite candidate there wins the nomination, it could be one to look keep close attention to for the november elections. >> we have the portland, oregon, news this morning about the city pulling basically no longer investing in walmart which i think plays into some of the politics here and whether or not
health care, a fair shot, income disparity will be the big issues of the midterm elections. then ultimately the presidential elections. and actually fair well for democrats. >> right. on the oregon front, you have a state exchange that didn't work. and that's what makes sort of, i think, what's going on in oregon why republicans are potentially enthusiastic on this. but by the way, that republican primary has gotten nasty. a lot of dr. webby's personal life has become fodder in the last few days. it's really been this ugly thing. this establishment recruit has struggled on the fund raising front. a tea party more conservative challenger has opened up. there's been nasty politics. there's a story out in mississippi from over the weekend that's just disgusting and ugly. what we've seen going on in oregon i think has been a little bit disgusting about dredging up people's personal lives in ways you're just wondering is there
at least some honor code in politics anymore. >> not anymore. >> i think people are also really at this point immune to it all. we've been around the block since bill clinton and the internet has made people a little bit sort of desensitized. >> chuck, you mentioned mississippi where a blogger posted a picture of one of the candidate's wife who's in a nursing home. >> as fed up as americans might be, this is a little bit beyond the pail. this blogger as you say is accused of going into this nursing home where thad cochran's wife is. >> what's the motive? >> the question is, do they -- chris mcdaniel is a tea party candidate who's been waging this campaign whose manager was on the phone before the story broke. the details aren't clear. >> what's the point of doing that? >> the point -- look. there's an obsession by some -- and i think this is what happens when you get fringe candidates on the left and right. they think there's this ends
justify the means aspect and you get crazed supporters. but there's this obsession because senator cochran's wife has been basically a convalescent for over a decade. she's had dementia and been in a home. there's some people in mississippi who don't like thad cochran think this should be plastered all over the state and somehow held against -- a moral judgment should be made against cochran should be by her side. that is sort of getting into people's personal life in ways, that you're like, put yourself in that same situation and ask yourself do you want the public to be part of that process. >> now i see this obscene motive. call me crazy, if somebody has a sick partner, that might create empathy for them. >> jim vandehei, josh kraushaar, kasie hunt, thank you. you're headed where next? >> kentucky. >> it's going to be big.

presentable deaths. joining us about this, bob carey and ryan galucci. thank you for being with us. ryan, if i can start with you. i think the va has always been plagued with problems. is that fair to say? because i wonder if it's truly m misdeeds happening here or an overflow of people who really need care given what this country has been through over the past decade. >> well, there are a couple of major issues at play here. and we think that a lot of this does have to do with the influx of veterans coming into the va health care system and looking for care that they're entitled to. what we've seen around the country is the vfw started polling through our hotline and found in places with high concentration of veterans,
veterans are having trouble getting into the system. >> all right. bob carey, let's just deal with shinseki himself. he runs the place. has he just adopted old problems that ballooned out of control given the fact we've had so many endless wars going on? >> there's no question the pace of the conflict. i was a patient of the va system for eight or nine years after i was out of the vietnam war. i understand the importance of that medical system. and i think shinseki has lost the confidence. he's done a terrific job in many areas, but it is time for the president to replace him. when you lose the confidence of the people coming into that system and i would personally hope the president can identify some iraq or afghan veteran,
you've got to restore confidence. because that confidence is gone. >> so you think shinseki should go. >> i think the president should find somebody else to run the va, yes, i do. and it's -- actually, it's in some ways disconnected. because i don't have the facts. nobody knows exactly what happened in arizona. but this isn't the first incident. in february of 2007, the press broke a story about the warehousing of iraq vets across from walter reed because the computers couldn't talk to each other. seven years later they still don't. you still can't track the discharge of a soldier who leaves the system and goes into the va. >> you were a war hero. you mentioned eight, nine years. what's your experience? if you're going to grade it throughout your time. you have the perspective. >> i would grade it well. saved my life. gave me a chance to put my life back together. it was a great benefit to me. >> the two or three most important things, number one,
restore confidence with a new leader. if you were the leader of the agency, what would you do to fix the problem? >> the reason i would look for somebody who was an iraq or afghan war veteran, you've got to come with the right sense of urgency. these guys have got multiple tours. they've got traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, a higher set of problems associated with the multiple tours. you've got to have the right sense of urgency. you can't come to this thinking i've got all the answers. i think that's part of the problem that shinseki has had. he's created that image with people here. >> ryan, how do you think the secretary should be handling the cases that are right now on deck with these allegations of people dying waiting for care? >> obviously the buck stops with secretary shinseki. we think the problem is accountability across the board.
the organization has some problems. one problem is how long it takes to sanction an employee. but then if there's a vacuum in care, if a doctor quits or somebody leaves, it can take them six months to a year to replace them. what we're calling for is a accountability from top to bottom and an independent view. >> one of the reasons i say somebody with an iraq or african war vet, you also need to have the stature and credibility to say to the american people here's where we're not going to say yes. we have 300 men over the age of 90 that applied to 100% disability because their ptsd keeps them from working. so you need somebody that can say the answer is no. >> thank you so much. ryan galluccii, thank you as well.

so were those who loaned. and refusing to help families in debt, it turns out, wasn't just unfair, it was bad economics. wall street is back, but america isn't. and the double standard is the main reason. i think this president tried. i think the people running for office in the future need to do better. >> the scary thing, there was a kid sentenced on friday insider trading going away for three years. there's not been one prosecution of any banker that pretty much almost brought down the system. not one. no perp walk. nothing. literally, we almost -- the average person does not understand it was almost over. it was armageddon and there has not been one person prosecuted as a result. >> harold, do you think there's a way that democrats can take and run with this even though it has been -- look, this president can be held as well responsible for holding the banks harmless and not helping out the middle

♪ 42 past the hour. here with us now "new york times" magazine contributor and the author of "how children succeed," paul tuck. paul, welcome to the show. your piece in the latest issue of "new york times" magazine asked the question who gets to graduate. and in it you tell the story of vanessa brewer who stumbled through her first year at university of texas. writing, there are thousands of students like vanessa and millions like her around the country. high-achieving students from low-income families who want desperately to earn a four-year degree but who run into trouble along the way. many are derailed before they set foot on a campus tripped up by complicated financial aid
forms or held back by family obligations. some don't know how to choose the right college, so they drift into a mediocre school that produces more dropouts than graduates. many are overwhelmed by expenses and some do what vanessa was on the verge of doing. they get to a good college and encounter a minor obstacle and they freak out. they don't want to ask for help or they don't know how. things spiral and before they know it, they're back at home resentful, demoralized, and in debt. paul, where do we begin with that? also joining the table contributor to msnbc victoria defrancesco soto. welcome back. >> it's an incredible story. because it's almost impossible for a poor kid to go to college, make ends meet, pay for it, and keep it together. >> it's difficult. income is part of it and
finances are part of pipt it goes beyond that as well. it has to do with the sense of connection and belonging that students feel there. and it's also not just a problem for poor kids. it's a problem for middle class kids as well. when you look at the national statistics for who graduates, anyone in the bottom half of the income distribution, only a 25% chance they're going to make it to a degree. it is a situation now in a lot of college campuses where the rich kids are doing well and everyone is struggling. >> the rich kids have the support they need, they don't have a pay for it. they go in there stress free. and they get to actually go to college. what are middle class and lower class kids shouldering beyond the massive dead which is totally completely unfair and the percentage that they're paying on the loans that they're getting are criminal. >> it's huge. and i think what we need to do is find a way to help those kids. we don't want college to continue to be a place that is
just for rich kids. i think that means that institutions need to do a better job of helping those kids making sure they persist. and our bigger institutions and nation as a whole need to take on the issue. >> what do you do other than loan reform? because it isn't fair, obviously. from a kid coming from a stable home whenever they leave for whatever reason is in better position. other than making the loans more affordable, it's an unfair society. i don't know what you do to change it. this is just one slice of an entire life of unfairness. what do you do? how do you solve this? >> i think what the university of texas is showing is if you take, you know, not huge supports but serious supports for kids who right now have a low likelihood of graduating, give them mentors, advisers, a sense of community, give them the right kind of messages instead of messages that exclude them, they perform much better. i think what ut is showing that, you know, some minor supports can make a huge difference. >> so i am a professor at the
university of texas and i'm very proud to be a longhorn and its programs like this that make me even prouder to be one. and i think in your piece when you talk about the need for that community support and that leadership support, you're really hitting the nail on the head. and i wanted you to drill down a little bit about that specifically. what type of community support, just from my experience you have the kids that are first generation college students from the rio grande valley. it's not just that academic support or financial support but the cultural support. you're in a new place. austin is new to you. college ask a new experience. i think when you have that base, that's when you can succeed. and how do we replicate that model? >> i think we underestimate what a big deal that cultural side is. if you're from a family where everybody has gone to college, everybody's gone to college, you are familiar with the ideas. >> even that's stressful. even getting to college for kid
that had every wind push him along is hard. >> you've also been taught to ask for help and you will receive it. vicki, i'm interested just in terms of when you view your students and see these kids that come from different backgrounds, do you say i can't do my night job and i'm never going to make it to class. this feels impossible. i feel like the only one who's in my situation. because that's got to be one of the most isolating feelings a student can feel. >> earlier in the semester, i had a student come to me after-hours in her fast food outfit. she had a break of 20 minutes and ran over to get her paper and help. then had to run back. these students are spread so thin. financially. and then you add onto that that emotional component. a lot of these kids' parents many times don't even speak
gli english. they're helping their parents. not only not getting help from their parents, but they're having to be a support system for their own family members. so there's a deep level of need there that goes beyond just kind of the textbook and financial aspect. >> it's a fascinating story. you think it's college, good. >> done. >> i think what's important at the university of texas is it shows despite all of those obstacles these students are succeed. especially at a place like ut. >> what would be the point of going if you're going to leave strapped with such debt that the rest of your life is plagued by trying to pay for something that you could barely get through because you were working in a fast food place while trying to go to class. yeah. >> i've got to say. those numbers are scary, but when you look at the numbers of that why do you go. if you get that four-year college degree, your whole
future changes. >> it changes. but i'm going to take a leap here and think when you're in the middle of that, chances are if you could choose to perhaps, you know, get out of that type of pressure, you might cave. you might cave. we've got to stop that. paul, thank you so much. what an important article. vicki, thank you as well. i'm very excited for you. another one. >> thank you. >> yes, she is. there's still plenty of football to talk about. i won't know what he's saying. but he'll say it to you. >> football or soccer? >> football. >> it's not football. >> it is football. >> i get confused. >> roger bennett stopping by. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. ♪ here at fidelity, we give you the most free research reports, customizable charts, powerful screening tools, and guaranteed 1-second trades. and at the center of it all

democrats' control of senate is heading into the heat of the election season. according to politico, likely voters around the country would prefer a republican over a democrat by almost 90 points. despite calls from many congress al democrats to move on, 60% of the voters say the health care debate should not be over. but a number that perhaps could help democrats, 58% say a candidate's stance on the income disparity between men and women will impact their decision in november. i really do think it's going to make a difference. we have a walmart story coming up, which is connected to that. these numbers come as some of the toughest primary races will be resolved tomorrow. high profile gubernatorial senate races are playing out across the map. tea party candidate matt bev in
trails mitch mcconnell but the same poll shows mcconnell trailing alison lundergan grimes. perdue said it would take slashing, spending and increasing revenue to bring down the debt. it's a comment his opponents have jumped on. >> he's never voted in a regular republican primary, he's flip flopped on issues key to republican voters, common core, bailouts, repealing dodd-frank, and now we found out just earlier this week that he seems to be a little bit soft when it comes to not raising taxes. >> i use the word revenue and revenue is a code word for tax increase evidently in politics. the point i've been making for over a year is we have to get the economy growing that will
increase the tax base and that will help solve the financial crisis. >> and then there's mississippi where chris mcdaniel is trying to unseat republican thad cochran. a local political blogger has been charged with felony for taking a picture and posting a photo online of cochran's wife, who is in a nursing home. the blogger is reportedly a mcdaniel supporter. what's the point of this? >> politics have become more and more of this nonsense. >> jim, what do you make of this? >> the political poll was just in competitive house and senate areas so it's not a national poll. it's where the election are going to be decided.
republicans have a decisive advantage. the fact that 90% of the people have a very passionate feeling about health care shows that is the singular issue of the campaign and it really does tilt the republicans' way, which is the reason they have that lead. you have that broader environment. and then inside of that, the big story of the campaign has been that the establishment has been able to get better candidates, to get more money in to support those candidates and beat back the most unelect abable candida. in georgia less than 20% of voters are going to vote in that primary. there's almost more candidates than there are people that will vote. we don't really know what the outcome will be. it does look like an established-backed candidate will win. >> johni deutsche. >> is there a head fake going on? as we get close to the general election and as anecdotally
better and better news comes out for health care, is there a possible misstep waiting in the wings for republicans here? >> it's always a possibility. i will say there's been some durability in the health care numbers across almost every poll i've seen over the last few years where most people that are planning on voting do oppose the law, which does work in the republicans' favor, but you don't know if you have four or five months of good news, that certainly could change the climate. i think the other thing to keep an eye on is everyone thinks the conventional wisdom is republicans will win back the senate. i would like at that dead heat on whether mcconnell can win the election. this is still very much up for grabs and i think health care is going to be the issue, which is why almost every outside group is pouring its money into that issue. >> i think they could capitalize
on income inequality. >> let's go to mitch mcconnell. >> i think alison lundergran is a much better candidate. i've watched matt bevin, the republican opponent for mcconnell yesterday on one of the sunday shows. although he said he would not support grimes, he zant he would support mitch mcconnell. any kind of dissension, division amongst republicans could open the door. i give her credit for hanging tough. >> there's a message that has framed everything over the last few years, whether the president has been completely successful against the republican opposition or not and that is a fair shot and that is the issue
of equal pay within that. the income disparity issue we are seeing. you have people like elizabeth warren who are heros on the left and you have companies stepping up now saying if people aren't going to step up in washington, we're going to step up. >> the health care law also worked better in kentucky. that could be withone of the ke factors. the governor there did a better job of implementing than perhaps others. >> because he opened up their own health care exchange, didn't rely on the federal government and they were able to get people to be really a special -- a statewide program that other states could try to emulate them. >> she's not running on that. >> now look at what cities are doing. portland, oregon is pulling its money out of within of the woon
biggest corporations. the city will no longer invest in walmart. they have adopted socially responsible companies, which take into court health, and corrupt corporate governance and wages are mentioned as well. the company will have withdrawn from 3% of the company's portfolio. >> corporations behaving the right way is going to be the price for doing business. this is price of entries for companies doing business in the country today. i'm going to also go back to the health care thing and also the republican party of no. it's all about populism today. as our nation, as these young people come up, they want income equality across demographics, they want it across sex, they want companies to behave a
certain way and they want health care for the masses and i still believe that although on people this health care argument seems to be very, very juicy for republicans ambassador we get to november, it's going to back fire. >> i totally agree with you. and again, the argument against that is you don't want everyone to have health care? really? >> it's minimum wage. it's all the same blush. it's all about the populist nation. >> we hear story after story of walmart employees, mcdonald's employees, anyone who is paid the minimum wage getting food stamps. it's impossible to accept that in this country and be against a minimum wage hike. are you serious? >> the one issue with minimum wage and so many fast food worker strikes and that's ignited a fire worldwide about what that means equality pay wise -- >> less than women, by the way. >> we get the video and we see
the protest and we can relate on what they're trying to say but it's hash tag protests. >> 25% of the voting population. >> it's social media that's driving the force. >> minimum wage should be increased. there are two things that concern me about what democrats and the congress and the white house have not been able to accomplish. it makes no as soon as why they have not tagged private equity and hedge fund managers who are benefiting from the interest. they taxed people earning over a quarter of a million dollars to the higher rate and they could create extra resources to defray what restaurantures who say if i raise my minimum wage, it hurt my bottom line. it's equally shameful. >> headlines in "usa today," the front page dominated with at&t's
purchase of directv for $45 billion. it represents a huge challenge to cable and stands to reshape content on everything from tv to tablets. it still needs to go through the fec but if improved, the entertainment giant would serve 26 million people. let's bring in david ellis who broke the story. what would this man for consumers? >> if it does come to pass, it would probably not show up on your bill until next year. it could mean the second largest wireless provider in the country would also then become the second largest paid tv provider. that represents a radical reshaping in the entire
telecommunications industry that we've been seeing over the last couple of years and that is still not done. >> i'm trying to think of a bigger deal. >> the comcast/time warner deal was in the similar vein. it's constant versus eyeballs. at the end daft, we want to watch our "morning joe." in the past whether it was a cable, a mobile device, at the end of the day he who has or she who has content equals eyeballs and winner. >> david, what are some of the challenges of this actually going through? all these big deals sound amazing in the headlines but anything could take it done to an extent. >> regulators are in a bind. on the one hand they wand wireless companies to compete with wireless companies. they want more competition from comcast and more competition for verizon. on the other hand, they're faced
with not let thegs companies get too big. at a certain point we're going to see just a couple of major media and technologies companies that are serving the vast majority of americans. tease something regulators are going to need to weigh. the other this evening is there are already these pending deals. comcast is trying to acquire time warner cable and do divestitures with charter. sprint has in a maid no secret of their interest to take over t-mobile. so they'll have to step back to say what does this mean before letting any one of these go forward. >> the good news here is the pharmaceutical industry, you have pfizer making a bid against astrazeneca so they can move money out of the country. >> i think the fec should look favorable, as long as there's nobody hurt in the deal.

wound up with these unredacted things. who told susan rice to go on the sunday talk shows and say it was a video. now we've got these unredacted things from ben rhodes, barack obama's assistant and the deputy national security advisor, one of them entitled prep call for susan rice the day before she was on tv. it said the goal was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. it does not mention, according to sharyl atkissson who has written a blog, does not relate to terrorism. >> the national security council is basically saying the e-mail referring to protests going on around the region in cairo and benghazi, they were talking more about the flavor of theç region. that statement did not
address what fox news asked, which is where did you get this information about protesting sparked by the video, the attacks on benghazi on innocent americans, where did you get this information from? snorkelly ayotte was on with grate at that -- senator kelly ayotte was on with greta last night. >> we asked where the video reference came from. now we know it came from the white house. this is a dynamic where the president in the election was claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, had al qaeda on theç run. the other thing in this e-mail here that is very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al qaeda has been decimated. >> blame it on the video, not on the president's strategies. it reads more like a p.r. strategy than it does trying to get the proper intelligence to the american people. >> remember it was seven weeks before the election,
and at that point the talking point for the administration was bin laden is dead and al qaeda is on the run, we've got them on the heels. what happened there proved that wasn't true. but sharyl attkisson who worked at cbs -- she resigned because she couldn't do what she wanted to do, specifically benghazi. ben rhodes, the president'sç assistant, his brother is president of cbs news. sharyl noted that in her blog. but jason chafits said the government tried to keep the e-mail secret because they initially had it declassified but then they classified, pwhrabgdz it out and sent -- blacked it out, sent it over and there was nothing there. >> i would say too they are

taking the proper steps but not everyone was pushing that. one congressman thompson said we've got to give the players more power and owners more power to oust this guy and have more control over what happens in this league because you need a two-thirds vote to get rid of a guy like donald sterling in this case. meanwhile, you have to wonder if congressman thompson is asking for a double standard when it comes to freedom of speech and saying things that are flatout in my mind offensive. >> he was on nation of islam radio. this is a democrat congresseao great state of mississippi. he says that clarence thomas, the african-american justice on the u.s. supreme court, is an uncle tom. he says mitch commonly is a a -- mitch mcconnell is a racist. he says republicans are antiobamacare because he's black. that is not true. any way, here is the congressman from
mississippi. >> mitch mcconnell will have the audacity to [inaudible] but the commander in chief that i don't care what you come up with, we're going to be against it. now, if that's not a racist statement, i don't know what is. >> there is uncle tom clarence thomas, this man doesn't even like black people. he doesn't likeç being black because every decision where color has something to do with it, he went against it. >> he also said he worked under three presidents, and they were never treated like this. really? george bush's intellect was slapped around every day. the majority leader called him a loser. bill clinton in particular was impeached. you saw the way bill clinton was treated in many respects. forget the way they're look at now. i don't think any of them had an easy time. >> he went on to say this antigovernment attitude is
completely newç just because we have an african-american president. we did reach out to his office and haven't heard back for a comment. >> we've got lots more news to tell you about. once again we turn to heather nauert. >> got news now to bring you at nine minutes after the hour. we break in with breaking news that came in overnight. prison officials try a new drug cocktail to kill an inmate but the execution is botched. the inmate died more than 43 minutes later of a heart attack. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. the man exploded after the first of three injections and then the execution stopped. some witnesses say the convicted murderer then tried to get up and talk. pretty gruesome description there. witnesses say he looked likeç "rambo." >> a guy with a shotgun came in. he shot the guard in the
belly and then he went inside and started shooting. >> police identified the gunman pwho shot up a fedex warehouse in georgia. he is a 19-year-old, a package handler for the company. etches armed with a knife, molotov cocktails and had bullets strapped to his chest. he shot six people before he turned the gun on himself. three are in critical condition. police not releasing a motive yet. amanda knox and her roommate fought over money before knoxç allegedly n knife, her off with a according to italian court documents that were just unsealed in that case. a court informant claimed convicted knox and her former boyfriend of murdering kirchner. knox was first convicted of murder about five years ago but the verdicts were overturned on appeal in 2011. in january a federal appeals court overturned the conviction. knox now in seattle was

regulation. now a liberal blogger is attacking the move saying, quote, this represents an utterly stupid and useless case of corporate welfare. rick perry is engaged in domestic financial terrorism. is rick perry probusiness? he sure is. he's probusiness and anti-american. >> strong words there. but is bringing jobs to your state really financial terrorism? here to weigh in is stuart varney. good morning. >> are you kidding me? >> isç there any validity to that argument? do you think tax breaks to steal business from another state, does this hold water at all? >> sheer nonsense. actually it is sour grapes. toyota goes from california to texas lured by less regulation and much lower taxes. that is not financial terrorism. that is a legitimate inducement to get money and jobs out of a high-tax, high-regulation, big-union state like california and bring them to a go-ahead, low-tax, low-regulation
state like texas. it is sour grapes from the left. >> isn't the whole idea when you're in business like toyota is -- and we should point out the big three were all in california once upon a time. one of them has gone to tennessee, the other now in texas as well. when you're in business, isn't the idea to make as much money as possible? and if your federal and state bureaucracies are charging you high taxes, figure out a way to payç less. in this case it's move to texas. >> it's good business. toyota wanted to build a brand-new headquarters. you can't build anything in california. they regulate you to death. there's rules and regulations for everything. what do they do? they listened to governor rick perry of texas, and went to texas where they can build a whopping great big new headquarters building just like that. >> you know what they're doing is saving the u.s. what concerns me, even though it is allowed, maximize profit if that is your goal for shareholders and make it more desirable for consumers. bow do you think overall weç are chase -- but do you
think overall we are chasing money out of the country and this is a good story because it keeps money in the country? >> nobody is higher with taxes than abu dhabi at 55%. we're keeping $2 trillion of money outside of america. it doesn't come back here because of those high taxes. and we're chasing corporations out like pfizer. pfizer is going to be domiciled overseas because of our high taxes here. it's on the big level, a country level which is exactly the same as the state level within the united states. >> right. and all these energy jobs in texas as well. unemployment rate lower than a lot of others. what can other states learn from governor rick perry? >> low tax, low regulation pulls in the jobs, pulls in the money. high tax, big unions, you're chasing money out of your state.ç that's what you can learn. >> fantastic. >> rick perry wins. >> stuart varney we're going to watch your show today. >> yeah, i'm fired up.

doing good. then what happened? >> we got a call from the postmaster general. will and i used to work in washington, d.c. we put on our suits, go to washington, met with the postmaster and its senior team. we go into this intimidating board room and gave a pitch. we said we're just a few guys trying to help build a great technology product that our customers love. we would love to find a way to work together. a few great linesç ensued. the chief digital innovation officer from the post office said no one is going to want it because digital is a fad. that was a doozy but the next one was better. the postmaster said those aren't our customers. he said our customers are a few hundred volume mailers and the product is junk mail on to the tables of america. >> they feel an allegiance to junk mailers who pay nothing to go into the
postal system. you were astounded by having said that so your goal was to win them over. as ridiculous as those wrepbts -- comments are, win them over. how did that go? >> we like to think of ourselves as occasionally persuasive peoplo but when you encounter the forces of bureaucracy, we don't think the people at the postal service are foolish. the reality is they have tons of incumbent interests like the unions and congress that make it hard for them to make good decisions about their business. we tried everything we could. we had lobbyists and attorneys and a public interest campaign. it just seemed to be walls too tall to surmount. >> the government has two things that startups don't have which is time and money. we operate on a fleeting time frame with very little money. and the postal service, even if we could take five years to convince them, a startup could never operate duringw; that time frame to create a successful company that consumers love. >> you know what i found
amazing is that the post office is on life support. even the biggest advocates of the post office knows it is borrowing loans in order to keep going, keeping people kphroeud. they should be embracing people like you with ideas like yours. >> that was our hope honestly. our passion and real calling is to create a great private business that creates a good or service that delights our customers. and we think when more people like us do that, us and dozens of others, that our society and country will really be on a great path. >> all right. we reached out to the post office, have not heard back. guys, thanks a lot. hopefully you can show stats on how well it was working and make legislators get on your[ @&c @@ side and force the post office into the 21st century. >> we appreciate it. thanks for having us on. >> the creators of outbox. straight ahead, no idea, --

places have been devastated. we find her in athens, alabama tracking this wild weather. maria, good morning. >> good morning. you're right, we're in a different state today in a different city but the scene is the same. more widespread destruction. in this area the national weather service confirming a tornado touchdown with winds up to 140 miles per hour. that would make it anç es-3. that is here in athens, alabama, where we have widespread destruction. we have a home behind me, as you can see, the roof blown off, walls are gone. and inside of it, it's unrecognizable, just debris littered inside that home. down the road in a trailer park, a mother and her son were killed by the same storm system. making matters worse, today we have the threat for flash flooding. when we got here to athens, alabama, last night we had heavy rain and there was a warning in effect that has been lifted here but across eastern alabama, southern
alabama and up to southern new england, you have a number of flash flood watches and several advisories in effect as well. this is a very widespread storm system impacting at least 18 states with those flood advisories. across the florida panhandle in pensacola, anywhereç between 5 to 11 inches have been reported. higher amounts have been possible in localized areas across parts of the florida panhandle. cars have been submerged. we have a number of warnings in effect there as well. at least one person dead in the florida panhandle due to that flooding. all of this flooding is on top of another round yet again of tornadoes. yesterday we had eight reported tornadoes in the state of north carolina where flooding was also a big issue there. take a look at this. >> we had about four and a half feet of water in our driveway. it was ohe hoods of both our cars, probably a good three feet of water in
our house. it turned our freezer over, washer, dryer. >> 135 tornadoes have been reported in our multiday severe weather event. we do expect more severe weather possible today across the eastern third of the country. stay safe. let's head over to you in new york. >> maria molina, thank you very much. the key is about the flooding because down along the panhandle i was reading, some spots are going to end up with 25 inches of rain. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. there she is right over there, the retired cougar cheerleader. >> long ago retired. that was a lot of fun yesterday. from flooding to fishing, listen to this one especially if you like tuna. tuna fish caught off the shoreç of oregon is now known to have elevated levels of radioactive particles in it. it is believed it is from the fukashima disaster. researchers studied 26

whether or not he violated the school weapon policy or not. he ended up only getting a three-day suspension for that. >> he got three days for having what was classified as a weapon and your daughter got kicked out for the rest of the year because as it turns out the school board had a little flexibility when it came to the school board member's child. alyssa, how do you feel about going forward knowing that you made a little mistake, you owned up to it, but now they're killing you? >> yeah. i don't know. i think it's an excessive punishment like it's not just about me now. it's about everyone else who's gotten an excessive punishment too. i don't know, i just want to fight for everyone else too. rick, it does seem commonsense wise, she's been out of school already, said she was sorry. it was a simple mistake. where's the common sense? >> there clearly isn't any.

they boosted him to white house victory in 2008 and 2012. now disappointment leaves many of them disillusioned. new study shows their level of trust in president obama has slid to 32% over the last four years. that's 12% drop. only 14% of millenials trust congress and 20% trust the federal government. how does president obama and the government lose the millenial generation? let's ask three of them who all already hold public office. alex morse, the mayor of holly oak, massachusetts. and two other guests. good morning. >> good morning. >> representative garcia, we'll start with you. you say this talk of hope and change is simply empty rhetoric. why? >> well, as you pointsed out, trust in government elected officials dropped among my littlials and the thing is, it's one thing to distrust your elected officials, but this
generation and the recent decade, we've seen that -- we have reason to expect that our elected officials, particularly our federal officials personified in the president, actively deceiving us, not just distrust. >> mayor, we've got a full screen to show. in 2008, the youth vote, president obama had 66%. 2012, 60% of the youth vote. but come time now, they're having a tough time finding jobs out of school, disheartened about obamacare and having to subsidize the he saiderly. how do you think this will affect the mid terms. are they disillusioned by the democratic party? >> i don't think it's about a party or a person i have really think it's about a process. the same harvard study that was quoted in the national journal article showed that between the first and second term for both president bush and president obama, there were precipitous
drop in perception among millenials. i think what they're reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what's turning many of us off. mayor morris, let me ask you, you're an arresteddents obama supporter what about the other issue of student loans that millenials are facing? how is that going to affects midterms? >> i am a big obama supporter, and we're all about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came in to republican obstructionism in congress and so i think be it stabilizing student interest rates, that's something important to young people. young people wants to get involved not just in politics, but public service. that same article pointed out the volunteerism rate among young people. issues like health care and immigration and gun control, those things need a vote in
congress. president obama can't do it alone. >> the polls also show conservatives millenials are motivated to head to the polls. more "fox & friends" coming up in a few minutes. thank you for your time, everyone go long, look lean, in this season's most important fashion trend, the long shirt. designed to flatter, with playful hemlines and length for everybody. the new long shirt. visit the shirt boutique, only at chico's and chicos.com. thoughtful combinations, artfully prepared. fancy feast elegant medleys. inspired dishes like primavera, florentine and tuscany. fancy feast. a medley of love, served daily.

good morning. it is wednesday, the 30th of april, 2014. aim anna kooiman in for allegation elisabeth. call it the smoking e-mail. proof this morning on who really told susan rice to say this. >> it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> meanwhile, the main stream media may not be talking about benghazi, but tim allen is in prime time. how he worked it into his show. >> you're going to want to see that. plus, george clooney surrendering his title as most eligible bachelor and now we know who is taking his place. who would that be? you're going to have to stick
around because mornings are better with "fox & friends." looks like the rid ther there -- riddler there. >> hi, this is henry winkler, you're watching "fox & friends". >> the riddler is the only bad guy to wear a unitard. >> what's his name? frank gorshen? >> yep. and that was the only thing he did, right? >> perhaps his best known role. >> how do you know the penguin wasn't wearing one? >> i was just informed superman was wearing one. >> super friends usually do. >> what did frank gorshen do. >> he was an impersonator. >> welcome back to short attention span newscast. anna kooiman is with us today. great to have you.
>> great to be here. >> we have a bombshell. we have done stories about benghazi but this is really important because despite what the white house told us over the last year or so, it looks like the white house is who misled the country on those talk points. remember siphon rice went out out susan rice said it was because of the internet video. now we know apparently there was a document from the white house, top advisor to the president who made it clear, let's not call this terrorism. let's divert people over to something else. >> yeah, ben rosen, assistants to the president, deputy national security advisor, he had an e-mail sent out to about a dozen people, including jay carney, but some of the president's closest confidantes, and the subject line said, 4:00 p.m., press call. here were the goals there. one was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader
failure or policy and the other one was essentially to reinforce the president and his administration's strength. so the idea was to try to make this look like it was not a failure of the president's policies, but just, of course, this video. >> so let me get this straight. now you have a direct link between the spinning of the message, the telling of the story and the white house. now this was done because judicial watch sued for it. originally these documents, i understand, were given up, but there were some redacted that makes no sense. but now you have everybody this was cced to. you have in the title saying prep. this is saturday night before the sunday shows. what does this mean? it means their shows are spinning in the message. the c.i.a. said we never said anything about a video. white house, according to sheryl atkissson, she said, can i just get a picture of who was doing anything during the attacks? she can not get a picture from the white house. she's just trying to get a
situation room shot like with the bin laden. out of frustration, what does it mean to the american public? charles krauthammer put it in perspective. >> we now have the smoking document which is the white house saying we're pushing the video because we don't want to blame it on the failure of our policies, which is what anybody who has looked at this assumed all along. before an election, obama saying al-qaeda is dead, gm is alive. he's running the foreign policy issue on which the whole campaign is based, is one that says he killed bin laden, al-qaeda is on the run. so this undermines the whole narrative, therefore, they have to invents the video. the fact that it was redacted when the documents were asked for and only revealed by a court order is telling you this is a classic cover-up of a cover-up and that is a serious offense.
>> see, he just summed it up so perfectly right there. keep in mind, the house oversight committee asked for these particular e-mail and the white house gave them a bunch of them, but they were -- somebody took sharpie you and couldn't read anything and it wasn't until judicial watch sued them that they got the clean copies. because of it originally an unclassified document. >> that they made classified. >> that anybody could read. when they realized, wait a minute, there is some heat here, let's cross it all out. sheryl atkissson who had been at cbs has a big blog post where she details everything. she said chaffetz tried to keep it secret. lindsey graham said this is clearly a smoking gun. he says this shows political manipulation by the white house after attack. they knew it was a terrorist attack and yet they were pushing the video as we know, to get the president relie detectorred.
>> yeah. you see the goal reads more like a pr strategy than getting the correct intelligence to the american people. meanwhile, four innocent americans lost their lives. >> let's change the subject a little bit. tim allen was on the "tonight show" and raised some eyebrows when he talked about the socialist state of california and everyone is like, wow, what is that about? we were talk being that two weeks ago. now in his final episode of his sitcom, he insinuating more unhappiness possibly with the government and its candor. >> he's a conservative and unlike a lot of shows on television, he actually puts that message out there. here is the finale over on abc last friday night from "last man standing," tim allen reminding people. watch. >> what did i do? >> that's the new security system. just punch 62262. it spells obama. >> real funny.
having obama protect us from burglars, can't even keep putin out of crimea. >> someone's got a new benghazi. >> benghazi is not over yet. >> he's a conservative. he doesn't just play one on television. >> yeah. and that's pretty rare in hollywood, right? i remember seeing clint eastwood on hannity saying these folks in hollywood, even if they are conservative, they're closet conservatives for fear of losing work or not being able to find work and being blacklisted there. >> sure. one of the reasons we highlighted that was because generally the way hollywood operates, the message is not conservative. it's all to the political left. that's why what tim allen did stands out. >> it's called integrity, something obama doesn't have with this benghazi thing. for that to be in that is interesting. >> look how more and more outspoken, even seeing him on sitter with getting into some conservative war of words as
well. >> indeed. so it is a very busy morning. about 8 minutes after the top of the hour and heather joins us with a troubling story out of oklahoma. >> it's really a pretty disturbing story. it's an important one that can affect other states. we begin with this coming in. prison officials try a new cocktail to kill an inmate, but the execution is botched and that inmate died more than 43 minutes later. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. clayton blocket's vein ruptured after the first of three injections and the execution was stopped. some say he tried to get up and talk before he died of a heart developments. i did it. just arrest me. those words coming from 16-year-old christopher plaksin after he stabbed his classmate to death. the 16-year-old has been charged as an adult. authorities in connecticut are still trying to determine if he
did it because she refused to go to the prom with him. he faces 60 years behind bars. a horrible story there. an al-qaeda terrorist backed out of an attack because he was scared? he made this confession while he was testifying in the trial of the hook handed hate preacher. he says he didn't go through with his role in richard reid's shoe bombing plot on a flight back in 2001 because he was too afraid. okay. now that george clooney is headed down the aisle, who is the most eligible bachelor? it is prince harry. the 29-year-old and his girlfriend of two years, have just split. sources say harry pulled the plug on the relationship because he found her to be too needy. the two were introduced by sarah ferguson's youngest daughter. anna, he's free. i know you have somebody in your life. should be a nice wedding there. >> this is why he broke up with her. it was all because he met me at the warrior games in colorado last year. i was just waiting on that.
>> you just can't tell the whole story. these are new briefs. the other thing is we know the strategy that george clooney fell into. playing hard to get. so do not return his calls. >> i think it's odd that harry's girlfriend was too needy. apparently she wanted to be treated like a princess. >> what's wrong with that? >> are you a step princess if you marry the second in command of the royal army? >> i think you're still a princess. >> i got to watch shrek again. >> that's the latest on harry. coming up, more on kerry, secretary of state john kerry, making a major gaffe suggesting our biggest ally could turn into an apartheid state. should the secretary of state quit? the guy who voted against him for the position, senator jim imhoff, he's next. then calling it the wheel of misfortune. the wrong answer that cost a contestants a free vacation.

secretary of state john kerry trying to back pedal after he was caught on tape saying israel risked turning into an apartheid state. >> the israelis are furious at that. but this isn't the first time kerry has stepped in the diplomatic mud, shall we say. should we be surprised? oklahoma senator jim inhofe is a ranking member of the senate
armed services committee and a member of the senate foreign relations committee, one of the three senators who voted against kerry's confirmation as secretary of state. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> what do you think about, first of all, kerry saying this apartheid stuff? he didn't know anybody had a recorder, somebody did. now looks bad. >> i'm not surprised. i'm not surprised at all. we made some comments about his lack of, i felt, allegiance at that time to our best friend in the middle east. keep in mind that in israel, the arabs have full citizens' rights. they have 10% of them of the kinneset has full rights and to associates that with apartheid is outrageous. but again, i'm not surprised. >> surely. one of the things that was said during the confirmation hearing was that if mr. kerry was selected as secretary of state, we were going to have trouble with israel because our president and then mr. kerry as well, not israel's biggest fans.
>> that's right. they associated -- that has to be a relationship there. the reason that he was chosen by our president. that's something we were aware of at that time. it actually came out in the hearing. so everyone was aware of it. and at that time, we also had some people quietly objecting -- the israelis, not any formal group, but they knew what was coming. >> surely. this shouldn't really surprise anybody. i mean, if you look at john kerry's history, there are a number of insulting gaffes. here is one from 2006 where he insults our troops. >> if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. if you don't, you get stuck in iraq. >> yeah, we remember that one. >> at the time that took place, i was actually over there and i will never forget the response that we got from our troops over
there. look, see, this goes back a long time. i can remember way become during the reagan administration when reagan came up with the great idea on f.b.i. knowing some day we would need it and it was kerry who coined the phrase, star wars, you can't hit a bullet with a bullet. so these things have been there for a long time. my objection, i have to say, has been primarily the fact that he's never thought any good ideas come from anywhere except a multi national organization. i'm talking about the new stark treaty that he was able to push through, the law treaty turning over 70% of the surface to the united nations, international criminal court. the whole arms trade treaty. do you remember that? >> sure. >> that means we would have to call the united nations before we could send a patriot missile to israel. this is the problem i've had for a long periods of time. and it hasn't changed. you read the quote there. that was a shocking quote. but listen to this quote and
this is what syrian president assad, after he killed tens of thousands of people. kerry said he is, quote, an essential player in bringing peace and stabilities to the region. then all this stuff on climate change, he said the climate change can now be considered the world's largest weapon of mass destruction. that's pretty scary. >> it's interesting you would talk about assad. so he was for assad before he was against assad, which we've kind of heard that before. now, if people would like more information or read -- >> the web site -- the statement that i made at the time of this confirmation, it's inhofe.senate.gov. you can get a lot more information. >> senator inhofe, thank you very much. >> thank you. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. next up, who do americans wants in congress? more republicans or democrats? we've got the numbers. stick around. we'll explain them all to you.

back down and land right next to the launch pad so they can reuse it again. >> it will be cheaper for to us do it and more economical. >> they say it may be even 1% of the cost of going to space. >> that's amazing. >> ten years from now, robot transportation. how does this benefit us and what is it? >> well, you look around and you see google self-driving car, the military is working on technology to have short hop self-driving airplanes that will take troops or take equipment from a to b. this sort of technology will go in and get into everyday stuff that we use, our cars to help us avoid accidents. maybe even short hop flights for commuters. >> this all sounds like buck rogers stuff to some. but some of the things you say won't happen any time soon, unfortunately, no time travel despite what we saw on star trek. >> right. i'm sorry to say, time travel into the past is one of these things that might just violate the laws of physics. >> and no teleporters either. >> you hear about teleportation. what they're doing is
teleporting these quantum states, actually teleporting a person is a whole different ball of wax. it's something that really, i can't imagine happening not in my lifetime or grandkids' lifetime. >> but somebody is working on it? >> people are working on all sorts of stuff. >> because if you invents it, you get rich. >> tell that to edison. >> he's not available for comment currently. >> good job. editor of scientific america. >> thank you for having me. >> 26 minutes after the hour. coming up, the law is the first of its kind. what will happen to pregnant women who use drugs? >> then the one thing wal-mart did not sell until now. i ys say be thman with the plan

>> this man doesn't even like black people. he doesn't like being black because every decision where color had something to do with it, he witness against it. >> how offensive is that? justice thomas? can you imagine? he doesn't even like being black? >> that's a congressman. >> yeah! that's absolutely insane. calling him an uncle tom and calling mitch mcconnell racist. very often the democrats who say it's the republicans who are racist, but, listen to these comments. this is jaw dropping. >> he also said that president obama has been treated a lot worse than bush and clinton that

there is nothing there. you're looking right there at a document that has been released. judicial watch had to go after it because a copy was sent to the house judiciary committee that was so redacted, so blacked out, you couldn't tell anything. now we know right there, according to those documents, that it looks like when asked who exactly told susan rice to go out on the sunday chat shows and say the benghazi was about the video, now we know after mike morell a couple months ago, who was at the c.i.a., said, we didn't give her that information. now we know the information came from the white house. keep in mind, this was seven weeks before president obama's reelection day. and they were doing everything they could to make sure that he looked like he was in control and that osama bin laden was dead and al-qaeda was on the run. that was the mim. >> that was the narrative they were trying to push. ben rhodes sent an e-mail to a dozen people, some of the
president's closest confidantes, jay carney was on the list, and in it, it said prep call, 4:00 p.m. for susan rice. and here is what it said. to underscore this is a goal of what the prep calls a underscore these protests are because of a video and not a broader failure or policy. it was to make it seem like it was nothing that the president was doing wrong in the region. it was all because of this internet video. >> right. think about it. double whammy for the president. he had a military action in libya, would thank would show chaos resulted and show terrorists are acting against and killing americans and he says al-qaeda is on the up and bin laden is done. he also said let's reinforce the president's strength on challenges. this is saturday night, everybody important in the administration is cced on this. senator kelly ayotte, who has been all over it, she said this about what this all means.
>> we always said r did the video reference come from? now we know it came from the white house. the president is claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, that he had al-qaeda on the run. the other thing in this set of e-mail here that's very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al-qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al-qaeda has been decimated. >> so that e-mail was from ben rhodes who was the deputy national security advisor and maybe -- if you're going think, if it's not the white house trying to be political, which is it clearly looks like what, could the white house have been doing? maybe they really believe that it was about the video. keep in mind, though, everybody who was talking to them, the people on the ground in libya, the c.i.a., they were all saying it's terrorism. it was an attack. what is curious, though, is
the -- and so that is ben rhodes. ben rhodes' brother is david rhodes, the president of cbs where sheryl atkissson used to work. she quit because she said cbs wouldn't let her do stories like on benghazi. she says that congressman chaffetz told her the government tried to keep this classified. they declassified it initially. yeah, you can look at this. then when they reallied the house oversight committee wanted it, they blacked out so much stuff t didn't make any sense. that's why judicial watch sued them. that's why we now know that it leads back to the white house. >> right. mike morell also involved there, saying, he was the deputy c.i.a. direct, i'll volunteer to go meet with hillary clinton to work out a message here because it looks too good for the c.i.a. because the c.i.a. knew this was dangerous and warned ahead of time and that they didn't wants to look basically too good and make the f.b.i. and administration look too bad. i feel bad for this guy, growingry hicks, who stood up and sounded the alarm and was
the whistle blower and he's paid in his career. >> fox news has continued to cover this and we'll continue to do to. now a look at what else is making news. >> good morning. talk being a story in oklahoma. it could affect other states. executions in the state of oklahoma are now on a hold after a new drug cocktail failed to kill an inmate immediately. he died 43 minutes later. clayton lockett's vein ruptured after the first much three injections that he was supposed to get. some witnesses say that the convicted murderer then tried to get up off the gurney and said man, before he died of a heart attack. this was the first time the state of oklahoma used the drug in an execution. other states, including ohio an( well. tuna fish cough off the shore of oregon has elevated levels of radioactivity. it's believed it's from the

always remind me of darth vader, that noise. >> or a sleep apnea machine. >> right. >> thank you very much. all right. we know that one of the voter blocs that helped get president obama, the president job were the young people, millenials. harvard has a new poll out that shows that while there was a lot of hope and change back in 2008, a lot of the support that the president had has slid because they just don't like how it's all turned out. >> millenials who are 18 to 29, harvard did this study, so it's got to be right. so the trust factor was high at 44. now dropped to 32. also congress went from 14 to 4. the supreme court to 4. and the federal government down 2% from 20. >> james carvelle was on with greta last night and said this is hurting the democratic party -- hitting them where it hurts rather. >> i saw that poll, my day started out about as good as
donald sterling's. wasn't too good. that was one way to ask the question. i think asked another way and it was closer. the poll is not good. i'm not one of these people that says oh, trashed the poll. the poll was not good on a variety of frontses. if i saw -- in an abc, "washington post," generally a highly respected poll. sometimes they can be a little bit off. i'm hoping this is it. i'll wait and see the next one before i get my frustrate razor out. >> one of the things according to this particular harvard study is the millenials say look, mr. obama promised that he was going to change things. washington is a partisan place. i'm gog change all that, he said back in 2008. now fast forward to today, audients do it. and they view him as being part of the system that they promised to change. they're disappointed. >> it's not just the empty rhetoric. it's them graduating from college and not able to find
jobs. or the jobs they're finding, they're way overqualified for. they're upset over obamacare and subsidizing the older, unhealthy people. they're upset about students loans. it goes on and on of the and earlier in the show i talked to some millenial politicians who are already in office. take a listen. >> this generation and the recent decade, we've seen that we actually have reason to expect our elected officials, particularly federal officials personified in the president actively deceiving us. >> i think what millenials are reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what's turning many of us off. >> we're about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came into republican obstructionism. >> okay. either that or the number sticks out is 62% say that elected officials are motivated for selfish reasons.
so a bitterness and a cynicism. >> plus you got to figure that the millenials, they're disappointed with how it all turned out with obama. he's not running next time. so how will it impact whoever his party's standard bearer is? stay tuned. the one bit of good news i saw in this whole thing, the number one entity that the millenials trust, the u.s. military. the u.s. military above the presidency, above the supreme court, above the federal government. >> that was down 7% from where it was. >> the surge was after 9-11. after 9-11, about 60% supported the president. 70% supported the military. and 54% supported the congress. my, how things have slid. >> the polling is also showing that conservative millenials are more motivated to come out to the polls in the midterm elections and word is now that democrats are concerned about losing the senate and now vetting and processing federal judges to try to leave that for
obama's legacy. >> 100% of millenials are concerned about turning 30. >> 30, not that bad. coming up, donald sterling has been fined and banned by the nba. but what are the odds he walks away from the clippers without a fight? peter period of time -- period of time period of time has done some research. >> no i.d.? no problem. you can vote anyway. why a judge thinks that's a way to make things fair? ♪ ♪ [male announcer] ortho crime files. disturbing the pantry. a house, under siege. say helto home defense max. kills bugs inside and prevents new ones for up to a year.

clippers, i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. >> nba commissioner adam silver sealing the fate of donald sterling for his racist remarks. but will he walk away from the clippers without a fight or give a full court press? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins me now. good morning. >> i don't think the fate is sealed. i think there will be a full court press. >> he's fought before. >> given his twisted statements that we all know about around the world now, do we assume that there is any sanity or common sense, do we assume he's going to step away and say, okay. no mas. i'm done. i'll walk away. that becomes the question. so there is two questions. will he fight the ban and the fine? there is something called arbitrary and capricious in the law. if he says you didn't give me
due process, he could bring a courts proceeding. then number two, if the owners vote to expel him and make him sell the team, can he fight that based on antitrust, based again, arbitrary and capricious, based on the contract with the association itself? so there is a lot of questions in spite of what the commissioner has done. >> peters, when he bought it back in 1981, it was for something like $12 million. there are estimates it could be $575 million for now. >> more! more! >> so is it even really an argument for him to say you're making me lose my livelihood? >> absolutely. you can make the legal argument and i think there is a better than 50% chance he will. i think in the end, he will profit from his own despicable conduct. he will receive a price for this team that is more than he ever imagined it would be. but will there be a fight? will there be a negotiation? will he threatsen a lawsuit
against the commissioner? will he threaten a lawsuit against the owners? will he say what you did was denude, decrease the value of this team. the real fair market value of the team. in order to do that to get a higher price going forward. lot of people want to buy this. maybe magic johnson. a lot of people across america. but given what he's done in the past, do we expect a fight? yeah, there is a pretty decents chance that we're going to see a fight on this issue. >> what about the small portion of the people -- no doubt the comments were tough listening to these tapes. >> horrible. >> but he is tried in the court of public opinion. people are saying it's a rush to judgment. what's the argument on that? >> in terms of statements that we know about, i can't see that there is a rush to judgment. they're despicable, odious, wrong. they're foul, unamerican. it's not what any of us stand for in this country. but at the same time in terms of the property right, that's a totally different question.
this is unchartered territory in and lose money as a result based on private statements? that's a different legal issue. he's entitled to due process on that particular issue. there is no doubt. i see a fight coming. >> and there have been calls for people to boycott the clippers because of these comments. now there are calls for people to come and support the players instead. >> the bigger issue is why is there only one african-american owner in the nba? all the nba owners are making themselves feel good now that they've gone after racism. but why 80% of the players are african-american, but why only one majority owner is african-american in the nba? maybe they should look at that as well. >> good question. thanks, peter. >> good to see you. coming up, the united states about to get its butt kicked. the country about to beat us as the number one economy in the world. then who would give back an adopted child? believe it or not, it happened

place, a place where she was incapable of bonding and attaching and feeling the benefit of love. >> that's referred to as rad. >> it's a condition that is typically affiliated with children who have been neglected or abused at an early age. it is common among children who have started their lives in orphanages. >> you picked up your daughter in siberia when she was eight months old. >> only eight months old. i had not been schooled in this at all. i had not been prepared for this. and it was confusing because she was such a beautiful baby. she's a beautiful young girl now. however, we had been given all sorts of warnings potentially about physical problems, but physically, she thrived. she was strong. she was powerful. she was healthy. she met milestones. so there was this confusing dichotomy between the physical
vancements and what was happening for her emotionally. it was very confusing for a new mother in her 40s in the first child. >> i'm sure you thought i'm doing something wrong. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly the problem. and possibly most of all, why i've written this book. i was so much in the dark. i was so filled with despair. i was so confused and so convinced that i had made haggai grantsic mistake. >> in particular, you were moved to right this book after you heard about a family about three, four years ago that had a child with the same problem, sent him back to russia. >> 2010, tory hanson, a single woman, she literally returned her 7-year-old child on a plane to moscow by himself with a note attached to his sweatshirt saying this child is psychotic and i can't parent him. and while her experience was very different than mine and while the world viewed her as a monster and she didn't make a great decision, i understood what was behind that. i understood how difficult it was to try to parents a child

dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic
to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

the actor bobs who convince has died. his roles included playing eddie in the movie "who framed roger rabbit." he was nominated for an oscar in 1986 for his role in "mona lisa." he died from pneumonia. he was 71 years old. brian? >> on a different note, the show cannot go on. that's what teachers in new york on long island are tell ago kindergarten class about its end of the year concert. why? school leaders canceled the concert telling parents it will give kids more time to prepare for college. becky is the parents of a kindergartener at that school and can't figure it out. becky, how disappointed was your child? >> to be fair, my child doesn't know one way or another about whether she's having this play. as the parent, i was disappointed because to me, it signals a shift in maybe educational values and
priorities. >> how can you seriously, with a straight face, tell the parent of a kindergartener, we have to put him in a college prep situation? >> that's the thing. the thing is when you read the letter that was sent around, which has been acknowledged to be silly, i think by the administration, the wording of it, if you look at some of the statements in it, like college and career ready, that's a real buzz phrase for the common core. every meeting that go to, you will hear college and career ready. harvard ready. rigor, increased rigor. so it's not just silliness, it's like a speaking point for the common core. >> right. and one of the quotes is it's part of the changing face of education. >> yes. and i'm not sure that that changing face is productive if it takes away creative learning from kids that are five and six years old in kindergarten. >> and obviously the biggest thing can common core is they teach to the test. here is what the school says. our educators believe that the traditional kindergarten performance requires multiple
days away from classroom work for preparation and execution and together with the lost instructional time due to poor weather is not the best use of the limited time we have with our youngest learners. so too many snow days. we got to put more curriculum and less to the theser. >> to me, that says then you're devaluing creative forms of education and only valuing seat work as education. last year they held that play, decades and decades they've held that play. our great educators saw central in it for decades and suddenly now that common core is in place, there is no more value in it? >> i sense that teachers -- my informal poll is teachers agree with you. they're not loving this. it's more the administrators that are administrating this. >> i don't know whether they're administrating it out of their minds or whether this is like a trickle down situation from albany, that we are so tied and we need the state funding so badly, are we in a situation
where our administrators will take marching orders from al beeny? >> do you have until june for your child to pick a college? >> we've already done early admission. hit first grade and straight to med school. >> what are you thinking? so it's outrageous, but it's important because most people can relate to the story on some way, shape or form because of the changing face of education. becky, thank you for joining us. >> thanks so much. i appreciate it. coming up straight ahead, we're going to say something really profound in j moment. ♪ ♪ ♪ (woman) this place has got really good chocolate shakes.

anything up to now. they have been promising up that these girls have been found but up to this moment i am talking nothing has been done. no single military security personnel have gone to look for these girls as i am talking now. >> that extremist group has been terrorizing nigeria with bombings and gunning down those going toç church. back here at home, in a fewç hours from now the three daredevil base jumpers who were caught on camera parachuting off the new world trade center building will head to court today. they are set to be arraigned on charges of burglary and trespassing, this as we're getting new video of september's death-defying stunt. listen. >> three... two... one. >> crazy; right? the lawyers fortç jumpers
say they want the charges reduced claiming his clients actually did a service by pointing out poor security at the site. what do you think of that? happening today, primary season is revving up. house speaker john boehner faces two tea party opponents in his home state of ohio. he is favored to win but has run television ads in the district for the first time in four years. ohio is one of three states holding primaries today. following last week's tornado, a woman in north alabama discovers a wedding gown lying in a field of debris, and she's now trying to find out who this gown belongs to. it is a size 6 dress and appears to be a little bit older indicating it could be a family keepsake. a local dry khraoeurpbç -- cleaner is offering to make that dress look like new and hoping it will be returned toxe its rightful
owner. >> how about that? >> they probably thought it was gone forever. >> hope they get it back. tweet us if you have any ideas. >> whisk. >> the big news yesterday is there will be a chairman of this benghazi select committee that was announced on friday, thanks to speak boehner saying i've been won over. the facts are out there and we don't have enough of them. i need somebody in charge. with a prosecution background, just in his second term and somebody trey gowdy, the guest at the washington correspondent's dinner of greta van susteren will get the nod. right away there is a problem. he needs to get all the evidence front and center and there is already a major memo not out yet. >> there is passion when it comes to trey gowdy trying to get to the bottom of what happened at benghazi. he sat with greta van
susteren talking about what his goals are. why no rescue of movement once they knew there was an attack? why is the truth so hard to get from this administration? but he said in fact you can't get the truth without the facts. right; steve? >> that's right. >> i want to see every single solitaryç relevant, material document. in fact, i want to see everything for which there can be any argument that it is relevant, and then we can judge whether or not it's material. you can't draw conclusions if you don't have all the facts. what this committee is going to do is once and for all lay out all the facts and then your jury can draw whatever inferences and conclusions they want to. washington is its own ecosystem. they wouldn't like it if i cured malaria tonight because i'm a republican. of course they're going to be critical. that's not the jury. >> that'sç right. there are a lot of fair-minded people who want the answers. there are some partisans.
we heard from jay carney yesterday. the white house is on the defense now. the press briefing yesterday was dominated by questions about benghazi and that's the last thing the white house wants to talk about. they want to talk about global warming and stuff like that. there is a new fox news poll out should congress continue to investigate benghazi until somebody is held accountable. 60% of you say yes. a quarter say absolutely not. meanwhile when it comes to benghazi and the obama administration, is the administration trying to cover up, 61% of you say yes. are they being open and transparent? only about a quarter of you say yes. the key to this whole thing is whether or not the mainstream media are going to cover it going forward. if there are bombshells, it's going to be hard not to cover. >> here's one. there is anç e-mail that gowdy and i think everybody out there should want, i believe, because in the e-mail, according to captain heritage, there is a little subject line where it says essentially fox
news, semi colon, u.s. attack ws terrorism within 24 hours. that is the story we had. we're running with it. you know what that does, subject line is, that is an internal e-mail sent throughout the white house which demonstrates a seven-page strategy how to deal with people like fox news, captain heritage in particular, bret baier, adam housely leading the charge when it comes to this investigation. you would think if you have a counter strategy to that maybe within the counter strategy you might have pathway to the truth. >> it is important to know trey gowdy was originally hired under the clinton administration in south carolina for the a.g.'s office there. he said himself this should transcend politics. we should be demanding the truth as americans, but americans should be demanding the truth because the families of those who were so viciously killed deserve it. bottom line. >> you're right. national review today has a great on-line column that says why benghazi matters. and here's one part of it. it says the white house
misled the american public about a critical piece of national interest, and it continues to practice deceit as the facts of the case are sorted out. that to answer hillary clinton's callous question, is what difference it makes. so stand by. trey gowdy is theç guy. they're going to start releasing the rules on how they're going to do it in the next day or two. >> look for 10 to 20 members being named. i'm curious to see if democrats are going to be in there. are they going to obstruct? are they going to participate? that will decide how this thing will go. >> we're going to shift over to another story. you remember the scarlet knights? their commencement speaker in prior years was snooki. i believe she made $32,000. >> she was eup sraoeuted on campus to give a speech. >> condoleezza rice was actually asked to come and to theç president's credit and many in the school, they supported her being there. but there was a group, sort of an infectious cell, professors and students,

welcome back. amid allegations of deadly delays in medical care for veterans, one of the nation's largest veterans groups now taking the rare step of calling for the resignation of top v.a. officials. yesterday's announcement marks the first time in more than 20 years that the american legion called for leadership change at the v.a. pete hegseth is the c.e.o. of concerned americans for veterans and fox news contributor. his organization called for eric shinseki to resign more than a year ago. good morning, pete. >> good morning, elisabeth. >> your reaction in certainly calling for this is important. >> it is. it's a powerful move. i may lead concerned veterans for america but i'm also a proud legion member of over ten years. yesterday was a proud day to see an organization like that, the single largest veterans organization in america, take a courageousç
stand to say we've worked with this v.a. secretary, we want the v.a. to work but he's failing us and his time is up. since 1941 for a secretary level cabinet member. that was a labor secretary. this is a huge step and i think a game changer for reform at the department of veterans affairs. the white house cannot afford to ignore this. this step, i think, will open doors for others who have been saying it privately to step out with it. >> what will this mean moving forward? obviously you can try to solve the problem by cutting the head off theç snake. but in terms of fixing the issue, what now will occur? >> i think first you have to send a clear example that accountability and leadership matters. that's why the firing of shinseki will be that clear signal after six years a of veterans affairs&uez to deliver. that is only one aspect of it. that is why we're supporting the v. management accountability act.
the legion supports this act which will empower the next v.a. to fire bad managers, those leading hospitals and benefits facilities that have backlogs and wait times and preventible detectives, all the things we have been reading about in the news in phoenix and colorado, all the things your show has highlighted powerfulfully. that v.a. secretary has to be able to hold people accountable. let's start with shinseki, put the tools in the next guy and get busy reforming v.a. >> you haveç an exclusive new message from concerned veterans with america that you want to share with us. it is the first time. take a listen. >> a broken system, a culture of indifference, veterans are waiting and dying because of massive delays at v.a. instead of fixing the veterans from getting adequate care, administrators engage in elaborate coverups. investigateors found v.a. creates two waiting lists
demand accountability. tell harry reid to stand withç our veterans and support accountability at the v.a. >> so i'm asking why harry reid? >> harry reid is going to be the key aspect in accountability. the house of representatives and speaker boehner already indicated they're going to bring:tmnt the v.a. management accountability, this act i'm talking about to the house floor for a vote. we don't know when>ó@kñ but they're supportive of it. the question will be in the u.s. senate, will senator harry reid and his@$hñ colleagues, and republicans stand up for the v.a. management accountability act, senate bill 2013? he's the one with the keys to the kingdom. we've seen other bills die in the senate. as the veterans organization we're going to work with o groups like the legion to put the pressure on. this is the start of that kind of campaign. we're not going to let harry reid get out of our veterans deserve the best. they deserve a vote. it will be the united states senate that matters the most. >> pete hegseth, always great to see you here. ronald reagan dealt with

here is our a team. the pouncen of youth may be running through your veins. a new study revealing young blood, blood from a younger person transfused into you perhaps can improve and reverse the aging process. it works in mice. but can is it do the same in humans? let's talk to dr. david samati. harvard did a study and realized mice in older mice and saw it stopped or reversed the aging process. >> we're opinioning $260 billion every year to look younger, to feel better, to think smarter and to also live longer. so the anti-aging process is becoming so popular, everyone wants it. this study from stanford took the blood from the mice three
months old, which is a 20-year-old person, and put it in 18 month old mice, which is 60-year-old. and found by injecting the blood, within three weeks the nerves are getting better. the connection between the nerves, cognition, the memories. and there are certain proteins in the brain that actually become activated and they can think better. this is a fascinating one. the ones you mentioned from harvard also is another protein. this is gdf 11. they found as get older, you lose those proteins. so there is something here that needs to be translatessed into the human clinical trial. >> i hate to have everybody listen in as i come up with a great idea, but if it's all about this protein in the blood of younger people, forget about the transfusion, 'cause you got to have a needle and stuff. let's just take the protein and put it in a pill and it would do all that same stuff, right? >> and you would be the primary investigator in this exactly the research 'cause that's where they're going. and you're going to be part of
this. this is very smart. they're going to find out exactly which protein is responsible for this and try to do this in clinical trials in human beings and what great thing, if we know what exactly which protein causes this, to make some sort of real vitamin. not the antioxidant and stuff that may or may not work. but take this, and a lot of it, and it can slow down the process of aging. where is it going to play a big role? alzheimer's, dementia. >> sure. of course, we have to point out this is just a couple of studies that have been done in mice. we don't know if it would work in people. but still, maybe. >> yeah. it's a great, cute study that's always going to need to be done in humans. usually what translates in mice may or may not work. i like it. when they took the blood from theñ1&= older mice and put it d mice, nothing happened t. didn't
work. so there is some merit here. they found really interesting proteins that we look forward to bringing this to human trials. >> as man of medicine, if it turns out to work, would you, as a doctor who probably doesn't like the idea of a blood transfusion, do it to reverse the aging process? >> that's an excellent question. you got to find out exactly what it involves, what kind of side effects we have. if it's going to help better memory and make us smarter, i would do it. >> i think you're probably right. >> get involved in the research. >> i'm going to go on line and patent it. >> that's right. >> thank you. coming up, nearly one in four women are now the bread winners. but is that a recipe for disaster? one of the women says it canu+y4 and she's here with the tips every couple needs to know. then george clooney firing back at steve wynn for saying the actor lives in a bubble. clooney's outrageous response next live from new york and

they're going to have aides, five standing committee members. no word yet if democrats are going to totally boycott the thing. i'm not sure they will. i think the main thing trey gowdy tried to get across is i need all the information. you got to be able to give it to us. one thing important to bring up, there is a seven-page memo which the administration is not giving up. they say it's secret. if it's a seven-page strategy how to stop fox news' strategy. we kept asking questions about problems with the benghazi investigation, what was with the video, and because of that, the administration put out a seven-page memo featuring did you know necessary mcdonough and the higher ups about a strategy. so judicial watch said can we see that? basically they said no. these are the types of things we're never going to get to the bottom of this if they don't hand over everything they're supposed to hand over. meanwhile, if jay carney is trying to say this is a fox story, someone should tell everybody at the press briefing yesterday because the first four questions were all about benghazi. there wasn't one ed henry or any
other fox reporter there to interrupt that array. >> one of the things jay carney did talk about yesterday was you know, we've gone through this many, meantime. the arb, accountability review board has looked at this and mistake were made, but -- when you look at the way the arb was handled, they never talked to hillary clinton. >> no. >> how can you not talk to hillary clinton? how can you not have the people who were on the ground that day testify? senators rand paul has that question and posed it last night right here on this channel. >> what were they doing at the c.i.a. annex? there have been reports that weapons were being taken from libya, funneled through turkey and into syria and were we part of that? was the whole story, the whole talking points and saying this was about a movie,s that to obscure the truth of what was going on? we've never known the true because all the people in the
c.i.a. annex were told not to testify and they were sent to various parts of the world to keep them from testifying. >> not only that, not only were think sent off, but a lot of these guys are still working for various government agencies and they were told -- i am told -- that if you talk, you're not going to work for the government anymore. and you got that retirement? don't count on that. don't count on a paycheck. your family will go hungry. plus we might sue you. and you don't want the federal government to sue you. so there is good reason we haven't heard from anybody yet. but this committee will have subpoena power. so it looks like we're -- >> it's going to go through the mid terms this fall. it will an ongoing situation. >> trey gowdy has pursuit and precision on leading the trip to truth, which the american people deserve and the families who lost loved ones deserve. we're going to turn to heather nauert. welcome back. >> good morning. great to be back. the f.b.i. has teams on stand-by
right now to help rescue nearly 300 kidnapped nigerian teen-agers. the islamic streamist group is claiming responsibility fort kidnapping that took place three weeks ago. the leader released a new video threatsenning to sell them as brides and attack more schools in the area. parents of the children are now placing blame on the nigerian government. take a listen to this. >> not doing anything up to now! they have been promising us that these girls would be found! oporto this moment i am talking, nothing has been done. no single security personnel has gone to look for these girl as i am talking now. >> the extremist group has been terrorizeing nigeria with bombings and terrorist attacks on christians attending church. is the irs washington's most powerful weapon against russia? there is a new agency regulation
that goes into effect later this summer and it would hit russian banks with a 30% tax on u.s. investment. that would leave russian foreign investors with a huge u.s. tax bill and could cost russia a lot more than sanctions. russia has been in talks to dodge this before it took over crimea. so we'll watch this story as it develops. here in new york, daredevil base jumpers who parachutessed off the new world trade center building are about to face a judge this morning. the three are being arraigned at 9:30 today on burglary and trespassing charges. this as we're getsing in new video from youtube of that september stunt. look at this. >> three, two, one. >> wow. listen to what the lawyer for these guys are saying. they're saying they want the charges reduced because they claim their clients did a
service by pointing out poor security at the site. what do you think of that argument? those lawyers. look at this2f0v one, a fasn faux pas for katy holmes. she hit the red carpet and wore what looks like kind of came out of a story book. a yellow gown. it was one of fashion's most glamorous events, the met go will and a lot of folks this morning are comparing her dress to this disney princess belle. decide for yourself. what do you think? does she look like the beauty and the beast star? >> yes. >> could be worse. >> you think so? >> beauty and the beast. >> i don't know. she looks pretty, i think. >> you got to look like somebody. >> right. >> compared to a princess. >> right. >> i think i saw somewhere that tom brady was at that event with giselle and he's blond now. a faux hawk going on. >> trendy. >> last week we told but a very
public spat where george clooney sat down for supper with steve wynn, thiolase have i gas -- that las vegas hotel mogul and according to steve wynn, mr. clooney was hitting the sauce, drinking a loves tequila. at one points mr. wynn said he was talking about the affordable care act and said mr. clooney's friend, the president of the united states, was a word that starts with an a. then mr. clooney, screen left, responded an a. it turns out it has gone back and forth between the two of them. steve wynn came out and talked yesterday about the hollywood elite and how they simply live in a bubble. they're different than us. >> artists, actors, people like that, they live in a very strange bubble of their own. they're molly coddled, highly privileged. successful artists like george or barbra streisand or any other really successful performing
artist, they live in a relatively small world running a business gives you a sense of compassion that is defined in different termination than someone who just thinks of themselves as generous who lives in a single environment. we know that real compassion, real benefits to the people, the working people of america will only take place as long as america is healthy and healthy means we can't owe 18 trillion or $20 trillion because that day will cause all the working people in america to suffer. >> okay. that was friday. >> right. then george clooney responded in people magazine and he said don't bubble talk me, bro. quote, i did not intend a private boys school. i worked in tobacco fields and construction sites. i've been broke more of my life than i've been successful and i understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it
is to make ends meet. steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with, end quote. >> yeah. mr. clooney also says they've only met three times, twice for dinner. can you zoom in on that right there? there is tom brady as a blond. there is giselle, tom brady. he's blond now. >> and you. >> andn.fs me. >> that's right. way to be. the bland three right there. so we'll keep you posted on that exchange with clooney. >> in the meantime, here in new york city, it's 7:11. we know exactly what hillary clinton thinks about benghazi. >> the ít is, we had four dead americans. was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some americans.

>> well, our next guest asked hillary clinton that question over a year ago and still thinks we haven't gotten to the bottom of her involvement in the benghazi scandal. republican senator ron johnson joins us right now. good morning, senator. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> did you know when you asked that question that it would be haunting hillary clinton? >> you would not have believed she reacted so testily. i just asked, why didn't you pick up the phone, call the survivors and you would have known immediately that there was no protest, that this really was an attack. but we didn't have to mislead the american public. they didn't have to mislead the american public for weeks after the attack. >> the information hasn't been fed forward to the american people. trey gowdy heading the select committee. will we get the documents needed? >> i hope so and i hope this administration grabs waivers to all the survivors so they can testify without fear of retribution. there are so many questions in
terms of before, what happened before the attack, what happened during the attack and what happened after. before, the dereliction of duty of this administration, the secretary of state, and not only denying requests for additional security, but ramping down security. the small con tingent of armed security guards would have prevented that attack. >> is that what we'll hear if they do get some sort of testimony and interview from hillary clinton? >> we pretty well know that just from cables. but the whole point of during the attack, what was the president doing? what was secretary clinton doing? why didn't -- it was 12 hours before those survivors were air lifted out of benghazi. nobody knew this was going to end in 12 hours. why didn't we send any available asset just as cover? there were people that could have got therein within 12 hours. this administration didn't send anybody. why? who made that decision not to respond, not to provide help? >> you mentioned the officials that were there. they as expressed earlier, that
they had been afraid to come forward. will they be able to do that? >> i certainly hope so. again, i think it's up to the administration to honor its promise of being the most transparent in history. it's been almost two years now. the american people need the truth. the survivors, the families of those dead americans need to know the truth and one question i want to ask, i really want every american, put yourself in the position of secretary of state clinton when she was on the tarmac at andrews air force base, really representing america to offer sincere con dellences. would you as an american offered those sincere condolences or would you have seized on that opportunity to perpetuate, to plant the cover-up, really to cover-up your dereliction of duty. i want americans who may consider voting for her for president consider how she acted that moment which should have been a solemn and sincere moments of condolences.
>> right, there has been dismisssiveness of tone of #throwbackthursday, as we saw with bret baier's interview with tommy vietor. this is a waste of time. why this attitude when it comes to lives so viciously taken of our own? >> yeah. my standpoint is pretty simple answer, is i believe they're trying to cover up their dereliction of duty before. i think they're feeling pretty guilty that they denied that added security that would have saved or certainly prevented the deaths of those four americans. >> senator. >> thanks. >> have a great morning. >> new calls for punishments after veterans are left to die in that phoenix v.a. hospital. top v.a. officials told to step down are not going down without a fight of their own. and nearly one in four women now are the family bread winners. is this a recipe for disaster? one of them says it can be and she's here with the tips every couple needs to know and have. ♪ ♪

i'm in this demographic. the concern is that society is evolving more rapidly than our emotions. in other words, as men and women, we are sometimes hard wired to expect certain roles within our relationships. and so that is what's kind of causing the friction to the point where you point out, divorce, infidelity. i did my own survey of over 1,000 women, split between women who make more and women who make less. when she makes more action she feels more stressed. she can be begin to feel resuspectsful and interviewing men over the lastdmd two years, feel o'clock emask lated is not uncommon. >> you talk about level the playing field, don't precontinued like we're the same. how do you cater to the male brain? nurturing the relationship, men and women have different brain functions. this is biology. this is science. we like to be communicated to differently. when she says that when she's the bread winner and tells me

defend their religious liberty. >> sure. >> something to look forward to there. >> today we were covering a story about a kid during his free period decides to whip out a bible and read that as his choice book and he gets in trouble for it and gets a call home. >> you know with a? normally these are he said, she said cases. but we had the smoking gun. the teacher demanded that the student who was reading his bible during free time walk up to her desk, pick up her phone and call his father. she left a snarky, terse message. >> i think we got the voice mail. let's play it. >> i notice that she has a book, a religious book in the classroom. he's not permitted to read those books in my classroom. >> no sharing in the classroom. >> look, dozens of stories just like this in the book. and i have to say this about this school, this is not the first time this has happened. and one of two things has happened. we got to start calling this like it is. we either have a bunch of religious bigots teaching our kids or a lot of ignorant people
who don't understand the law. one or the other. because the law is very clear. this young man does have the right to read that bible in that classroom. >> sure. the supreme court ruled yesterday that the prayers in open town council meetings do not violate the constitution with a 5-4 decision. >> what if that child was reading a koran? i don't think that teacher would have done a single thing. >> but it was a victory yesterday. >> huge. but the concerning thing is 5-4 decision. that's why elections matter. >> sure. >> the brand-new book is called "godless america." thank you very much. >> thanks a lot. coming up straight ahead, would you rather take a vacation than work? how about making work a vacation? we've got a job for that. cheryl casone getting you hired next. and in 1970, the jackson five had the number one song in america. it was called "abc." i don't know thousand ends. ♪

else. on friday we learned and saturday we reported that it was official. the former secretary of state is going to acquiesce to the 50 protesters, mostly muslim students n a sit-in at rutgers who didn't want her to be the commencement speaker and get an honorarium, which was $35,000. i'm sure she relished the opportunities to address the college. she felt with the controversy, it would take away from the kids and faculty who worked so hard for this day. so she stayed home. unbelievable that she would -- i understand why she would decide that, but it's unbelievable that the secretary of state, who is a championship skater, and concert pianist, a noted provost of stanford, national security advisor, soviet expert during bush 41 administration, would not be sufficient for rutgers. >> right. why would she not feel welcome, even by a small cell of those of this university? credit to the president because he did welcome her. but why not welcome?
where was the continued support for her so she wouldn't have to say this wouldn't be a distraction. this is the first black secretary of state. why not the support from the naacp and the national support of women? where is the continued outcry on their part? was she not black enough or female enough or qualified enough or liberal enough? >> well, according to the students and their knit wit professor, they didn't like the fact that she was involved in the bush administration. karl rove, who was, rips rutgers in this sound bite. >> shame on the little totalitarians of the left and their faculty agent who perpetuated this. this is political correctness gone nuts. i'm sorry that a small group of misguided students and a nutty organic chem professor had their way. this was politically motivated and politically aimed. ideologically driven and stupid. they didn't even have their facts right and hypocritical and
stupid. >> did he say stupid? look, the whole thing about going to college is so you can expand your mind, so you can hear both sides or three sides or 12 sides t. just shows how narrow minded some of the people are. they should just go immediately to msnbc to go to work. >> eric la grande, an outstanding football player there, was paralyzed on the field and work his way back has lauded around the country, especially at rutgers. when condoleeza rice dropped out, he got the call. for with days, he has worked, he put his speech together. he couldn't wait to address as a member of the alumni rutgers, scarlet knights on commencement day. guess what? >> they so no, you're being replaced by somebody else. he spent all that time thinking he would be the commencement speaker. entire low disappointed. so at 8:30, we're going to have him on the phone and he'll explain all of that. >> you're going to wants to hear that. we got other headlines. we start with heather nauert. >> a really dramatic rescue
story to tell but off the coast of florida. 12 miles off the coast. two fishermen pulled to safety after their boat capsized in the atlantic ocean. they were left clinging to the side of the boat throughout the night. coast guard crews finally reaching the guys, bringing them back to shore. the two men apparently grabbed a cooler from the boat, so they had a floating device and some water and snacks while they were stranded. we're told they kept each other awake all night long by cracking jokes. they are doing just fine. apparently they gave their spouses their plans, where they were going and that helped lead the coast guard to them. thank goodness for that. right now the f.b.i. teams are on stand-by to help rescue nearly 300 kidnapped nigerian teen-agers. the islamic extremist group claiming responsibilities for the mass kidnapping there. the group's leader is threatening to sell the girls as young brides. these children have been missing for three weeks now and their parents are outraged. they are blaming the nigerian

congressman trey gowdy. the newly appointed chair of the benghazi select committee saying he wants answers. we know many of you have questions about this special committee. so here to tell us more, fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. we're going to group them into three things. first of all, the question people have, why has congress appointed select committees in the past? >> that's a really good question. go back to the beginning of our republic. george washington had to put up with a congressional investigation into something called st. clair's defeat. when 1,000 u.s. army troops were basically defeated by a group of native american folks here in the united states. there was a big congressional investigation. then iran-contra during the reagan administration. that became a select committee as well. world war ii. the pearl harbor attack became the subject of not one, but eight investigations, including joint congressional investigation. so there is historical
precedents for such a committee. >> also historically, have democrats ever boycotted one of these things? >> most recently the democrats boycotted the katrina select committee in congress based on the katrina disaster. they can boycott it as a matter of law, as a matter of tactics though, i think they'll be perceived by the american people as putting their head in the sand and perhaps insensitive to the deaths of four americans. why wouldn't they want to know the answers and why wouldn't they want to be part of the constitutional congressional oversight of the executive branch here in this particular case? >> sure. what do republicans believe they can learn? >> there is a lot of people who say this is about the midterm elections. this is about politics. well, it is about politics in the sense that it's about the political process. unfortunately, it appears that the white house, by their own statements, by the statement of their press secretary, mr. carney, by the now released
e-mails that were withheld by mr. rhodes that were not put forward to congress but put result of an order, americans are saying, why were you holding stuff back? why are you taking names out? why are you saying it's secret day and not secret and not classified? there is a real concern that a lot of americans have that the truth was not told about benghazi at so many levels. the most important, i think, is that it goes to our confidence in our government. it's not about the republicans taking the congress. i could care less whether republicans take the conger not. i would say it's probably better for the future of our country. but the future of our country is best served when a government is known and expected to tell the truth to its citizenry. so if they haven't told the truth in benghazi and we don't have all the details, where was the president on the night of benghazi?
why wasn't there security? why now do we hear so much about a video when intelligence officials had nothing on their plate? those are legitimate questions for congressional inquiry. so it's a political process, but political. i think it's about the truth and it's about whether our government can sustain itself. >> we just need some answers. >> a lot of answers. >> great questions and answers, peter. >> thanks. see you tomorrow. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. a new poll shows the republican party has a slight advantage. but what happens if republicans team up with progressives and libertarians? former presidential candidate ralph nader says they can actually agree on things and it could be monumental. with brian. the moment a busy highway in and wait 'til you hear where that road leads. ♪

emerging in various stages a left-right alliance to bring the minimum wage up to where it was, inflation adjusted in 1968 for 30 million workers. we see a left-right alliance to revise the patriot act and preserve our civil liberties and stop government dragnet snooping. we see a left-right alliance to crack down on wall street speculation, break up the big banks who are too big to fail because they're risking another crash. and to prosecute the crooks on wall street, we're seeing an increasing left-right alliance to pull back on empire and wars overseas and the bloated military budget. and we're seeing a,-n left-rigt alliance to revise those job-destroying trade agreements. nafta, wto and the emerging pacific trade agreement. that's a pretty good start. >> think about a lot of the issues you just brought up.x5wz bush 41 was trying to get nafta done, bill clinton finished it offment when you tack about
corporate banks, you can't say it's republicans when it was bill clinton that took down stegall. republicans and democrats. and then you have someone like rick santorum, and rand paul talking about a lot of the same things you are. so you have to sometimes look at the cards a couple of times to find out who your guest is and what their point of view is. however, when asked, i was surprised by this in this recent poll that, when asked what candidate they'd vote for, by two to one, americans wants a president-elects to pursue different programs than the obama administration rather than similar ones. this is a president who was just relie detectorred two years ago. -- reelected two years ago. >> this left-right alliance is not really about elections. it's about a democratic society where left-right majorities become vocal, become emerging, become demanding and they make the incumbents, whether they're republicans or democrats, shape up and respond to the majority will of the people.
it's not necessarily just republican, democrat, red state, blue state. it's breaking through the fount necessities of what the american people wants done in this country and not done. as representatives, the politicians, they better put their finger to the wind 'cause i see this coming all over the country. i give 24 areas of convergence against the commercialization of childhood, bypassing, undermining parental authority, selling these young kids junk food, violent programming, that comes in over 85%. just imagine what it would be with tax reform, with these giant corporations going offshore, making billions of dollars in profit in the u.s., paying no federal income tax. that's another left-right alliance. >> there was actually a tax reform plan, left-right,ç simpn bowls that, would have cut into that, got spending under control, many thought. that was totally ignored. maybe it will be different now, a couple years later.

soaring ceilings. also a heated pool and spa. you know with a? this house costs less than most parking spots in manhattan. >> you're right about that. >> for the most part, i'm not going to get something comparable in plano, texas. you found a diamond in the rough there. >> absolutely. this really is a beautiful home for a great price. >> no kidding. michael corbett joining us from the city of angels, thank you very much. good shopping. >> my pleasure. >> i'm betting on all three. what happens if democrats boycott the benghazi investigation? congressman jim jordan joins us next. first bill hemmer joins us with a preview of what happens on the channel in ten minutes. >> i'm moving to plano. >> no kidding. >> pool party this weekend. >> we'll live together, bill. >> morning. the white house says it will get what it wants on global warming regardless of what republicans have to say about that. really? also a couple of interesting elections today. we'll tell what you to watch for in those. the head of the v.a. under
serious fire yet again. another case this time in colorado. should he lose his job? and trey gowdy on what he wants on this benghazi matter. he'll talk to us live when martha and i join new ten minute, top of the hour.
we now know who is in charge of the new select committee on benghazi. but what happens if democrats boycott the benghazi investigation? we're joined by a member of the house oversight committee who has been part of the investigation so far, republican jim jordan from the great state of ohio. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> all right. you've been out in the halls talking to some of your members across the aisle. are democrats going to boycott or do they see some value in being part of this?
>> i certainly hope they don't boycott. again, you got to come back to the facts. four americans were killed. this is an important committee where i think we can most effectively and efficiently get to the truth. so let's hope they don't and let's hope they participate and help us do just that and get to the truth. >> sure. this morning we ran a new fox news poll that shows that 61% of americans feel that the administration is trying to cover up something. so it's in their best interest to come out and come clean. >> sure. i hear that from people all across the state and country when i'm out and about. people wants to know what happened, why we didn't send help. there is lots of important questions, like why was the security -- additional security not provided when there were repeated requests for it before the attacks? 200 security incidents before the attack, yet when they asked for help, they were denied it? the key question which we found
out last week, why this false narrative that the video was the catalyst? all those questions need to be answered. the most effective to deal with that is a select committee. i'm pleased the speaker called for it and i'm very pleased that trey gowdy will be the trailer. >> the white house keeps saying we have had many investigations in the past. we had this accountability review board and it is pretty much exonerated everybody. we didn't do anything wrong. but that was not a real investigation. they didn't have a stenographer. there was no verbatim. it's just kind of what the guy remembered he wrote down. >> steve, sheryl mills, hillary clinton's chief of staff, picked the two people who headed it. they didn't interview hillary clinton. they let them look at the report before it went public. to say that's a definitive statement on what went on in benghazi is as far from the truth as you can be. underscoring why we need this select committee. >> are you hopeful that at the end of this process, we will know what happened? >> of course.
the american people deserve that. the families of these four individuals who were killed, including our ambassador, they deserve it. the american people deserve it and wants it. so let's have this select committee. let's get to the truth. >> that's what we all want. jim jordan joining us from capitol hill, thank you very much. >> thank you. we're going to step aside. more "fox & friends" coming your way in two minutes.
all right. we broke into a discussion group. who wants to talk to the boy from the school where they banned him from reading the bible? who wants to do that tomorrow? he's going to join us live. >> that's right. jason priestly here live. are you normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow is going to answer e-mails. you think that's a good idea? >> i think it's a great idea. >> we're all in agreement.
>> so we got a very busy tomorrow planned. thank you very much for joining us. we're going to do the after the show show right now. so if you log on to our web site, you can watch us live on the internet, unfiltered, baby! to happen then. morning, everybody, fox news alert. the white house set to unveil a dire new warming but with multiple scandals swirling around the administration is it to distract americans? that is one of the questions as we say good morning and welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm bill hemmer. martha: good morning, bill hemmer, good morning. i'm martha maccallum. oklahoma senator jim inhofe said he is not buying it. this is part of the game the president is playing to distract americans from his unchecked regulatory adenda costing middle class jobs and economic opportunity and energy independent he says. bill: republicans will push
