the not so smooth criminal arrived at the san francisco court in a stolen car and was promptly arrested by police once again. >> we appreciate you joining us today. thank you so much. >> have a great day. "fox & friends" starts now. >> bye. good morning everyone. it is thursday, theç first of may, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. torrential rains soaking the country. one sink hole the size of a city block and more water on the day. we have tips you need to survive a flash flood. >> tension in the white house has the administration scrambeling e-mails linking the white house to a benghazi coverup. >> why did it take a court case for you to release this? >> i can say this again and again, this document was not about tkpwepbgz. >> not about benghazi?
>> then why was the e-mail titled benghazi, mr. carney. >> russiaç pushing back on sanctions saying that bear on a trampoline is now your own only ticket to space. wow. >> shepherd must be happy. >> mornings, according to everyone we talk to, are better with friends. >> welcome back to "fox & friends." >> gabe kaplan. i will miss those guys. >> what did they say? put a rubber hose up your nose?ç mr. carter! >> funny what people remember. >> that's horseshack. he passed away. >> anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. she'll be back tomorrow.
>> 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

♪ (vo) oh. my. tongue. finally. (announcer) all-new friskies saucesations.
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. ♪ ♪

answers, but the hospital director denies knowing anything saying no secret waiting list has been identified internally. we still have not seen the list of the 40 deaths. we have not seen these documents. veterans groups now demanding action. and here to explain is c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america and fox news contributor pete hegseth. good morning, pete. is this just another scandal similar to nose in the obama administration where you investigate yourself and then you of course don't find anything? or are you buying the argument there? >> the good old internal investigation. they dusted that one off again. that is exactly what this is. the folks that have identified this have multiple sources. we've seen e-mails between the directors and others referring to this second list. there is a real investigation,ç i.g. investigation, g.a.o. found similar problems. this is going to come to light. when it does, i don't know if it is going to be exactly 40 veterans that died waiting on a secret list but there are going to
be names and it is going to be specific and it will be clear. if we waited for o.j. simpson to cough up the old bloody glove we would have waited forever. this is their example. they are going to block as long as they can and hope we stop paying attention. >> allegations are quite startling involves screen grabs, printing those out, sending that information to washington, the paper copy, shredding documents, not ever hittingç save so appointments were never made. those are the allegations. the physician there, who is retired now, is saying i'm standing by what i said the first go round. so what are we going to see from sharon helman? should she lose her job to this? this is not the first time she's been under fire. >> she should lose her job from it. we've seen fleeing the scene not wanting to talk to reporters. when she did she said there is not an internal investigation. she doesn't want to talk about it. she should be fired. the v.a. secretary should
be fired. the problem is within this administration no one is held accountable. even if sharon helman was to be fired they would knee two performance reviews and even then they could probably only demote her. the problem at v.a. is no accountability because no ->> are they banking on groups like yours backing down? >> if they are counting on groups like ours backing down they are counting on the wrong thing. there is legislation in the house of representatives called the v.a. management accountability act which would empower the v.a. secretary to fire poor performers like sharon helman. this is not the first facility that she has been at the helm of where there was a coverup. they covered up the number of suicides in spokane, washington. without legislation where you can fire badç apples, poster children like sharon

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
point in the benghazi case and i was disappointed at jay carney's efforts to hide that yesterday. >> right and he was c.c.'d on that memo. judge, thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, look at this one. one of these people is faking how they feel. who do you think it is? we'll show you how to spot a liar. he dishes out love to anyone trying to make money in the straupt business. business. -- in the restaurant business. >> you guys are wimping out. >> john tapper is here now taking on a brand-new challenge. he'll tell you about it.

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

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. ♪ ♪

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

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?

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
before. >> if you got questions for bob as several people did and we just asked him about it, visit our web site. scroll down and look for that rebuilding dreams section at the bottom of the page. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, president bush gearing up for his annual wounded warriors ride and dr. mark siegle is with them. we'll check in live. and what really happens behind the scenes in washington. >> talk to me. >> what about? >> anything. doesn't quite matter. >> congress, legislature, words like that? >> yeah. exactly. >> one of the stars from beat, mac walsh -- matt walsh is here live
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
and my kids are all hooked on it. it airs sunday at 10:30 p.m. eastern time on hbo for the fresh ones. >> or get your friends hbo go number. >> i use kilmeade. >> thank you for saying that. >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> matt, thank you very much. straight ahead. >> who is that cry baby? it's throw back thursday and we're sharing our baby pictures next. >> i had a lot on my mind. >> devastating floods sweeping the country. up next, maria will be showing us how to survive a flash flood. check her out. ♪ ♪

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

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. ♪ ♪

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
brothers. lindsey graham said this is the smoking gun that points to the whiteç house's efforts to shape the story of what was going on in benghazi. >> asked about whether this call actually happened, we haven't had an answer for that either. the subject line of the e-mail in the 4 p.m. prep call with susan rice and it didn't go out to just one or two people. it went out to a dozen of the president's closest confidantes including white house spokesperson jay carney. >> lindsey graham does say it is the smoking gun. charles krauthammer says it is the smoking document. >> he also went on to say, charles, he does not believe america will pay enough attention. >> because of the mainstream media. >> the main story yesterday has to be what was happening with donald sterling. it was up to the nba commissioner to step up and he did. he banned him for life and will force him to sell the team. then comes out opinions and almost universally people basketball association for
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.

postal service total net loss in the past years. considering it only earns services from selling stamps and shipping services, you would think the agency would think of ways to save money and keep up with the times; right? according to our next guest the idea was shot down. here with their story, evan bair and will davis. cofounders of outbox. congratulations, outbox is up and running. and is doing great. describe what your service does. >> it enabled our users to check their postal mail from anywhere so you didn't have to go to your mailbox ever again. you could check it from your ipad and iphone. we were trying to bringç the postal service into the 21st century and had a fabulous following in san francisco and texas. >> you were up and running,
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

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
who won't accept love. >> sure. how many times with your daughter were you to the points where, i can't take it anymore? something is the matter, either with me or her or us. >> it never occurred to me to return her. >> of course. >> i was deep in despire. i was scared. in those early days, those first couple of years, i would think a we were never going to be a family, that i was never going to truly be this child's mother that when she said mommy, that it would never be authentic. >> you know what's interesting about your story and you're very brave for telling it, is when you see on tv about these celebrities, they adopt these international children, looks so easy. everything turns out great. >> angelina jolie makes it look like it's an idyllic situation. you have a little troop of orphans, internationally adopted children and it all melds perfectly. that is not reality. >> it's great you are making people aware of rad in circumstances. the book is called "rescuing

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.

we go to the instant replay drafted by the rams. there was a bunch on social media. a tweet: omg! people said what are you tweeting about? is this in reaction to michael sam kissing his boyfriend on tv? he said horrible. it had everybody asking can you not say these things? the dolphins said no, you can't. they asked for an apology shortly there after sending a strong message across the league. demarcusç walker said y'all praise michael sam for being gay but y'all mocked tim tebow for being christian. hash tag, society. >> marcus walker still a sophomore in college.
>> since we were looking at demarcus walker's comments, kph-ft -- some of the commenters said i don't see why he's praised for being gay while tim tebow was rid called -- ridiculed for his faith. double standards? maybe it's more like, well, religion, that's just not cool. how many times have we talked about how in various venues religion and, in particular christianity,ç mocked? >> i will say this. tim tebow, i think in a way he's become a rock star in life. wherever he goes, he will pack stadiums where he goes. i saw him at the washington correspondents dinner. i argued and tiki barber said i was pwropbg but i
argued -- i was wrong but i argued he did so much in college he would be a backup somewhere. if there wasn't so much publicity surrounding him. i think michaelç sam should focus on being the best football player he can be. >> the coach came out and said that was not going to be tolerated on the league certainly on their team after the year they had. when you look at what the nfl is saying, this is a strong message, they are going on the offense. does it offend those with their free speech and their opinions to voice them? will they go after what is said in the huddle on the bottom of a pile? if you have timed mics you will have a lot of comments which will be deemed offensive? there will be messages heard when it comes to social media. >> we're not talking about anything other than the fact that tim tebow mocked

prosecutor. and i'll ask my colleagues to follow suit. but it would be helpful, it would be helpful if our colleagues on the other side of the aisle did not have selective amnesia when it comes to what's appropriate to raise money off of and what is not. >> selective amnesia. you're right. >> that was an intelligent conversation. they actually engaged each other instead of yelling. the criteria democrats want is unreasonable for them to participate. i'm sure it is put out there to be -- hopefully they'll back off it. they want to be able to sign off all subpoenas. let's say the republicans want to see hillaryç clinton. i don't think so. there is no way trey gowdy should give them that. sign off on all witnesses, i think that is unreasonable too. to say we should have access to call our own witnesses, that would be reasonable. any democrat should be able to question any witness. and for the g.o.p. to not selectively release testimony, i think that's totally reasonable demand. absolutely you should not say okay, i like what that
person said. let's show that to the press as opposed to the other person. the last two i think they can deal with. >> trey gowdy is a fair-minded individual saying politics should not be involved when it comes to getting to the truth.ç remember the glass house you live in when it comes to raised funds. remember this? democrats posted this on their video showing the coffins of american soldiers coming from the iraq war and then asking for a button to be pressed. you remember this after the sandy hook shooting. david axle rod urging supporters to click on a link and that linked with donate buttons above the video asking for $15 to $1,000. >> after the boston marathon bombings, the d.n.c. put the image of the be strong on its website to asking for political
information they could use politically as well. what's interesting is just this past thursday theç democrats actually posted a statement blasting the republicans fund-raising off of benghazi but on the democrats' website it had a place where you could contribute. while they say we can't believe that the republicans are doing that, the democrats have done it many, many times in the past and trey gowdy has made it very clear he will not do it. >> i thought he put it very well yesterday when he said flatout i never had a chance to question the secretary of state, never had a chance to question susan rice. we never had everybody because everyone has their own fiefdoms that we're all in our own lane. the oversight committee, special investigative. now it's all going to beç one, everybody together, all the paper work in one pile. then he said i wish we did this a year ago. >> god forbid, heaven forbid your family was one of those who lost the four individuals who died at benghazi. who would you want getting
answers? trey gowdy who really just wants information, let's get to the truth? or somebody covering it up. >> one final note. eleanor khreuft -- clift said stevenson died of smoke inhalation. come on. >> a veteran'sç outraged widow wants to know where is the accountability? she will join us next. >> you might make someone laugh, but do they really mean it? >> he's laughing. good for you. laugh it up. enjoy it. >> turns out there's a certain person who knows when you are faking it. >> laughter? >> yeah.

went in, saw somebody at theç v.a., tried to make a follow-up appointment and what happened? >> it never came. he could never get reassigned a new primary care doctor who would refer him to the specialist. he finally, we gave up and had to take him to the mayo clinic. >> that's right. i understand he had to keep his job working for the postal service because you needed the benefits even though he was entitled benefits at the v.a. hospital but because nobody was going to help him, he had to go elsewhere? >> that is correct. >> at the time, sonia, did you feel such frustration that, wait a minute, this man, you know, he put his life on the line for his nation andç all he wants is for a doctor to call him, and the call never came? how frustrating was that? >> it was very frustrating and very sad because he had to keep working even undergoing chemo and radiation treatments at the
mayo. he had to keep working, sick or well, to keep his health care into effect because he couldn't get the treatment he deserved at the v.a. >> sure. in fact, he died on the waiting list for the v.a. he still was waiting for somebody to call him back? >> correct. >> that's heart breaking. mark, what do you want to do to help this family? >> obviously we're very upset about this situation, and what we want to do is obviously get to the bottom of what happened here. but we don't trust the government toç investigate the government. this needs to be a private investigation. what we'd like to do is try to package as many of these cases as we can together and really investigate them to get to the bottom of what happened here. and if it turns out that things were done wrong at the v.a., which is what it looks like right now, we want to take appropriate action and possibly even bring a class action lawsuit here. >> when you say you want to package as many veterans' claims together, hence the
class action, what have you done? put together a website or how would people get in contact with you? >> people can get in touch with me through my website which is attorneyforfreedom. we're just getting started measured response to this. we need to get to the bottom and find out what happened. >> this would be one of the first lawsuits regarding this. are you pretty sure the v.a. was monkeying around with the way they saw people? >> i wouldn't say that we're pretty sure. there were news reports out there. there are allegations. like i said, we want to be very measured. we want to get the facts, get to the bottom of exactly what happened here. if nothing was done wrong, there won't be a lawsuit. if things were done wrong, we'll take appropriate action. >> sonja, you want to go forward with this? >> yes. i want answers, why it happened, how it happened and how is this going to be affecting other vets in the
future. our veteransç deserve the health care that they fought for in this country. they deserve better. >> indeed. sonja and marc, we thank you both for joining us this morning early. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> it is exactly now 20 minutes after the top of the hour on this monday. next up on the rundown, playing politics with race. a democrat congressman slams senator tim scott for being black and a republican. is that over the line? a fair and balanced debate next. it's one of the most anticipated movies of the season but what do hugh jackman and patrick stewart really think about getting back into their x men roles? they tell us coming up.ç ♪ can you hear it?

"the washington post" if you call progress electing a person with the pigmentation he has who votes against the interests andçaspirations against the black people in south carolina, i guess that's progress. republican clyburn in saying this, shouldn't he be more concerned about tim scott representing all people from south carolina? >> i think he is saying that. if you look at his legislation, one measure that pushed forward voter i.d.'s in south carolina, that is what representative clyburn is referringç to.
>> it doesn't seem to be about race if he's calling race into the equation. >> these comments are offensive. they have no place in the political dialogue. i think what you're seeing is he's throwing the race card in the game when tim scott works for all south carolinas. to say he has to represent only one race of people is wrong. even president obama said he's the president for all americans, not just african-americans and tim scott from south carolina for all south carolinaç, not just blacks from south carolina. >> isn't it oppressing the way someone would govern or represent? >> i think it would put people in boxes. i think the best part of
america is we're a mixing bowl and everyone -- that is a problem we're seeing a lot with some groups that think if you're black you have to think a certain way, you can't be free thinking or have a debate about ideas. >> i mean, richard, isn't he entitled to be able to represent, govern, be a senator the way he believes is best for that state? >> i completely agree with you, elisabeth. i think he has the right to think outside the box and has the right toç be different. but i think senator clyburn, being he's been in congress for so long, he knows the people of south carolina, he has the right to call tim scott's voting record into question. i think that is what he's doing here. >> tim scott has been a public servant for south carolina for the past 20 years. >> clyburn has been a servant for longer than that but that goes beyond the point. he's been in the statehouse, now in the congress. >> this became a matter
more -- beyond i will say, voting. this became a matter of race when he said based on his skin color here, he should be voting a different way. i'm paraphrasing there. but when you bring skinç color, and by his philosophy, a white senator should be governing, representing and voting based on what's best for white people? no? >> that's exactly true. i think that's the problem is that he should be focusing on the ideas and debating ideas, not bringing race into it and saying because he's black, he doesn't represent black people. he should say because of x, y, z. make a point. >> the point he made, it doesn't matter if the member is white, black, asian, purple, yellow, green or orange. what you want is a representative that will stand up for the people of south carolina. when 24% of the children in south carolina are in poverty and your voting record is against that, we have a serious problem. that's exactly what congressman clyburn is
talking about. >>ç gentlemen, we have had a great debate this morning. we're going to have to leave it there and invite you both back any time to continue. thanks for being with us. coming up, terror group boko haram is currently holding almost 300 girls hostage but will the white house social media blitz be enough to make the terrorists surrender? you want to make someone laugh but do they mean it when they do? >> yeah, laugh it up! enjoy your might! >> turns out a certain person knows when you are faking it.ç first happy birthday to rocker steve winwood. ♪ ♪ i am totally blind. ♪ i began losing my sight to an eye disease when i was 10.

and it's amazing. i was going to cancel my 7:00 o'clock with you folks and i said no, we can't do that. it's your highest rated 15 minutes. you'll be angry at me. you guys will never treat me the same. >> give you the cold shoulder. >> i'm doing it in honor of elisabeth. it's 12:00 o'clock here and beautiful. the ocean is crashing up on the shores. it's incredible out here. >> 40 shades of green in ireland. >> very good. >> i'll tell you what, i back up the purchase. i'm half irish and i would say we're happy to have you there. >> thank you. >> we want you to weigh in on this. michael sam on thursday night here in new york city was the first openly gay nfl player drafted. he was number 249. what's interesting, though -- there has been some outcry about how could espn run that video. we're not talking about that regarding him kissing his boyfriend. we're talking about the double standard. because demarcus tweeted out
y'all praise michael sam for being gay, but mocked tim tebow for being a christian. smh, #society. is there a double standard? >> i guess there must be because tim tebow went through hell. they went after him like crazy. i didn't really get to see him much because i was leaving new york, but i was watching as he got -- i think it was great he got chosen and he'll be in the nfl. hopefully he'll make the team and be in the nfl and he'll do well. but i did see his reaction with the birthday cake or the cake. you know. i don't know if everyone thinks that's a wonderful thing. i guess that's fine with me. but it looked pretty out there to me. >> donald trump, let me ask you this. the player that was actually fined from the dolphins for tweeting comments about this, at first it was omg and then quote, horrific on twitter. he was fined and the coach of the dolphins spoke out as well and he's suspended until he goes through some training in regard
to ethical comments on twitter and social media. do you think that's a reasonable reaction to his reaction? >> well, i think it's a pretty tough reaction and frankly, a lot worse things -- we've become so politically correct in this country that the country is going to hell. we can't do anything anymore. people are afraid to talk. they're afraid to express their own thoughts. you know, that's their view. i will tell you, i've heard many people -- i'm not even speak for myself, but i've heard many people that thought the display after he was chosen was inappropriate. and whether or not it was, i don't know. but it was certainly out there a little bit. and i'm very happy that he got chosen. i'm all for it. i think it's great that he got chosen. i hope he does so well. but i thought when he -- when he was really going at it, i mean mean -- i haven't seen anything like that in a while. he was really going at it. yet when tebow did his thing
which people thought was totally fine, he was criticized so badly. i guess you could say there is a double standard. it's sad. >> the president over the weekend -- switching gears -- is in los angeles and giving a speech at an event marking the decades since the holocaust took place, among the celebrities were steven spielberg. he was just talking about how he as president of the united states, he'd like to be able to do something when it comes to the carnage in syria and the kidnapping in nigeria. you think he should do more. why? >> certainly with the kidnappings, it's something you could do and you could do it relatively easily and when you look at what's going on with the girls just snatched up like that, they have no government over there. the country is a total disgrace and sham. certainly it would be great if somebody could go in there, find out where they are and go after them. but that is a terrible thing. syria, he sort of missed his moment. he had a moment where if he wanted to, he could have done that. but he missed his home.
he drew the line in the sand and the line in the sand turned out to be a false line. >> so the hash tag isn't enough for you? >> that was incredible. incredible. we're a different place, we're a different country. we're not respected. i don't want to use the word feared, but we're certainly not feared. we're a much different place than we used to be. but certainly he should be able to go in there easily -- and i'm not a big one for intervention. when i look at what's going on, we should run our own country. but when a thing like that happens, we can do that. we take some of our elites. we can go in there and do that very easily and that's something we should be doing, in my opinion. you have to do something to save those girls. >> let's see what happens. donald trump joining us from ireland where it's seven minutes after noon. is there a pub at the place you bought? >> there is. i'm not a big drinker. a lot of people are drinking now. >> it's ireland! you got to go to the pub! >> i know.
i own it. >> that's better. let them drink and pay you. >> safe travel. >> thank you very much. >> 100% believe this is a moment that you have to have intervention. 276 girls remain in captivity. you've got to go in there. >> the first lady is showing us the hash tag. shouldn't she show her husband? >> these kidnappers don't hang out wondering if they're trending on twitter. >> i don't think they have smart phones. 8 minutes after the top of the hour. we turn now to heather nauert who is joining us with news. but it starts with weather. >> we're talking about weather. it was a crazy weekend of weather this weekend all across the country. spring storms wall lopping the central part of the united states. tornadoes ripping through kansas and nebraska, leaving a trail of torn up buildings and downed trees. then heading to missouri, a small town there slowly picking up the pieces after a powerful ef-2 tornado destroyed nearly everything in its path.
and then colorado and nebraska. i talked to my mom yesterday. she told me about this. plunging temperatures and lots of snow heading that way, causing ice to form and it made for dangerous driving conditions. in other news, today the veterans affairs hospital in phoenix accused of letting veterans die while on a waiting list to get care gets a new leader. steve young, who once headed the salt lake city v.a. will take over after sharon hellman was put on leave. hellman was the one who was in charge at the hospital in phoenix, which has been accused of delaying treatment for up to 40 veterans who later died. veterans groups not happy with that news still. they say that they want the secretary of the v.a., eric shinseki to step down. some are even suggesting a class action lawsuit. that is a really difficultask. the widow of a purple heart recipient who died while waiting for treatment in arizona joined us earlier on "fox & friends." listen to this.
>> yes, i want answers, why it happened, how it happened, and how is this going to affect other vets in the future? it needs to be stopped. our veterans deserve the health care that they fought for this country. they deserve better. >> in the meantime, john boehner is pushing for new legislation to give shinseki more power to fire officials who have been deemed incompetent. we'll keep you posted. the third person killed in the hot air balloon tragedy in virginia has been located. the body of one of the passengers, natalie lewis, was found 25 miles north of richmond, virginia. she was traveling with ginny doyle, both worked together at the university of richmond. the pilot on board has now been identified as daniel kirk, you can see him there. his family says that he had more than 20 years experience ballooning. the hot air balloon crashed on friday night after it hit a power line and caught fire. investigators are still working to find most of that wreckage.
then listen to this. you think they would have learned by now. a michigan teen-ager says he was hungry and embarrassed after he was denied a school lunch due to just five dollars owed on his balance. amanda says her son, dominic, even offered to pay half the bill and pay the rest the next day, but that school said no. >> i was appalled that he was denied lunch and the lunch taken out of his hands over five bucks. >> so amanda took matters into her own hands and paid off every student's outstanding account. it was 19 students all together. they had past due balances that totaled about $200. school officials say dominic should not have been sent home hungry. they literally dumped it in the trash. that poor young man. those are your headlines. we've covered so much of this. you would think the schools wouldn't do this. >> they waste the food. that's awful. >> waste the food and came home hungry. >> speak of kids, you had some with you yesterday on mother's day.
>> i sure did. >> me with my two boys on mother's day. my husband was taking the picture. >> is that a picnic? >> it was a picnic. we went on a beautiful picnic outside. it was gorgeous. 80 degrees in new york. they had their juice and i had my mommy juice. >> mommy, you really like juice. >> that's right. >> wait 'til you kids can drive! >> looking forward to seeing all your pictures, too. >> thank you. dozen minutes after the top of the hour on this monday. did you see this? it took this congressman just two minutes to school democrats on benghazi. tom cotton here next with the tape you have to see. then you've seen him in the shirtless picture riding a horse. now vladimir putin throwing on the pads and hitting the ice. can you guess how many times he scored? here is a clue. no one wanted to stop him.

questions. this is done. we have all these investigations. you still have questions, especially when it comes to saving those in the middle of a fire fight that lasted eight hours. >> great to be on with you. there is still a lot of questions. that's why we need this select committee. we learned two weeks ago that the white house continues to stonewall. they produced new e mails that should have been produced up to 18 months ago. that's why we created this select committee to get to the bottom of this, both what happened before and after the attacks. as a form soldier myself, i particularly want to know what happened during the attacks. why didn't the president send reinforcements from tripoli from our fleet in the mediterranean or even from italy? we know perhaps they might not have reached benghazi in time, but i on several occasions in iraq took my men out as a quick reaction force 'cause you just don't know how long a fire fight is going to last whenever you're sending reinforcements to begin with. >> we have a general said we should have tried. republican mckeon saying yeah, we looked at everything, we
couldn't have done anything. where do you stand? >> well, brian, that's a question in retrospect for where our assets were positioned and whether they should have been positioned in those places. that's why -- one reason we need to have the select committee to ensure our assets are in the right places. the military has been very forth coming over the last 20 months. the military and the pentagon have answered all the questions of congressional committees and produced documents. it's the state department and the white house that have continued to stonewall. that's why the select committee was necessary. >> does it bother you president didn't seemingly did not get to the situation room? >> very troubling, brian. he had a preplanned meeting with the secretary of defense. he had a call that night with prime minister netanyahu of israel about a potential campaign issue. he spoke again with hillary clinton. why was he not in the situation room supervising the execution of his orders? he has stated he ordered this chain of command to provide all necessary resources needed. that's a very vague and general order. he needs to be there asking
questions about where those assets are and are they enroute and getting updates. not just worried about political campaign issues or sitting in the residence. >> right. congressman, you're in a virtual dead heat with the sitting senator prior. what will be the difference down the stretch? >> brian, in arkansas, i think most people are ready to elect a conservative senator who is not just going to be a rubber stamp for the obama agenda, voting with barak obama 93% of the time and casting the decisive vote for obamacare. >> all right. congressman tom cotton, a veteran of the armed forces speaking out about what bothers him about benghazi. thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. straight ahead, if you disagree with common core, you're a right wing extremist. does caring about your child's education make awe bigot? a former school board member weighs in. and think this could ever happen to you? >> i've been carjacked, abducted and now i'm trapped in the back of this trunk. how do i get out? >> wow. retired navy seal helps our own

virtually shot out of a cannon. i guess in a sense it was. and it was so heavy, so big and it had so much momentum behind it, i heard one reporter say that there was a steel, small pipe railing there and that maybe is what stopped it. but that railing was like a tooth pick compared to the size of this boulder. the boulder was as tall, up to to the eave of the roof of the church. i was across the street watching it and i said, well, there goes the church. and the interesting thing is if that boulder had gone just a little bit further and went through the wall of the church, it would have dropped down into our food pantry, which we use to feed thousands of people every month. for me, i mean, the invisible world is a world that exists to me. as a christian, we see the
invisible by faith. to me, it was an angel, if you would, just kind of put his hand on that stone and said, that's far enough. >> divine intervention. i understand you said it was like a catcher catching a baseball. >> yeah. it was. the rock is so big, i had 100,000-pound excavator on site and it could barely roll the rock away from the building. i've got a hydraulic hammer and an excavator now and we're just working on chipping it down to size so we can move it around the site. >> what were they doing? >> blasting company is widening the driveway for some additional parking. >> you didn't know that great big boulder was there, did you? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. it was a surprise to everybody. sometimes we ask for miracles and then sometimes we don't, but
god does them anyway. >> pastor rick, we're so thankful that food pantry is okay and everybody is safe and you joined us this morning on this rock. you'll keep your church. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me and fox, you do a great job. >> thank you very much, pastor. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead on a different note. the devil comes to harvard. a satanic mass planned at the university tonight. wait until you hear how the catholic church is fighting back next. >> governor rick perry offering a incentives such as lower taxes to other states to bring their business to texas now. the "new york times" calling this illegal. stuart varney walking in to discuss. first, the question of the day. born on this day in 1962, this breakfast club actor was married to paula abdul for two years. who is he? be the first to e-mail us with the correct e-mail [ female announcer ] there's a gap out there.

subsidies to attract investment. from a national perspective, this is as dumb as it gets. >> is it a dumb move? stuart varney? >> no. it's a very smart move. it exposes the high tax, oppressive regulation of some states like california. it exposes that and says come on over here. we can do better. we'll spend a little money to get you here, but it's money well spent. it's a smart investment. >> i think he's ironic that the "new york times" is lambasting texas about it because if you live here no income city, you see all these commercials on television about talking to big businesses. hey, wherever you are, come to new york state. we got a whole bunch of breaks for you. >> they don't look at the other side of the coin, which is how some of these high tax, big regulation states are forcing businesses out of the state. case in point is california. they offered $2 million in subsidies to get a chinese electric car company to locate in los angeles. then turn around and slap them with all kinds of regulation,
including $100,000 fine because this chinese electric car company offered their workers one, 20-minute work break instead of two ten-minute work breaks. that's the kind of regulation that tick -- kicks people out of the state. a fine for that? >> why the fear or sort of why make the enemy out of competition when the beneficiary of great competition in business often times is the consumer and those looking for jobs. >> precisely. texas got by investing $40 million in toyota. they got 4,000 jobs, a whopping great big new headquarters building for toyota in the state of texas. that's with they got for their $40 million. i'd call that a smart investment. essentially the left wants you to stay put, stay where you are. hey, you business, you're bad. you stay put. you face that regulation. you pay those taxes and don't you dare move. >> a study was done that says our economy is less entrepreneurial than any point in the last 30 years.
>> heaven forbid you get out there and compete and go to a low tax, low regulation state. which states are doing best? low tax, low regulation. more jobs, more economy. more expansion. >> florida and texas. >> yep. >> ultimately if you're in business, the idea is to make money for your company or your shareholders and that's all they're trying to do. >> radical thing for you to say. >> i'm a capitalist! >> and a lot of companies choose to go move out of the country because our tax overall is too high. >> witness pfizer going to britain. case closed. >> would you ever move back over there? >> it's all my fault. >> we'll be watching stuart varney between 11 and 1:00 o'clock over on fox business. >> thank you very much. >> thanks. coming up, if you don't like common core, you're a right wing extremist. why does caring about your child's education make awe bigot? a parent and former school board member weighs in. >> first on this date in history in 1989, "i'll be there for you"

[ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system. only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. time for the answer to your aflac trivia question. born on this date in 1962, this breakfast club actor was married to paula abdul for two years in the 1990s. the answer, emilio estev. he's 52 today. our winner will get a copy of brian's book "george washington's secret six." meanwhile, common core critics span the entire political spectrum and include parents and teachers as well. but a new southern poverty law center report is labeling those
opposing common core standards as far right extremists. stating, quote, the disininformation campaign is being driven by the likes of fox news, john birch society, tea party factions and the christian right. they're wrong about that. cynthia, a parent and former texas school board member of education says the report is a desperate attempt to marginalize common core critics. she joins us from lynchburg, virginia. they say that those are the ohm critics, when, in fact, it's bipartisan. there are teachers unions in chicago and here in new york state and they hate it, too. >> absolutely. this is a bipartisan outcry of concern, legitimate concerns that are being expressed. when you look at the facts, 35 states in the last legislative session that were promoting some type of legislative effort to
either delay implementation or prevent implementation of common core and the mandatory park assessments. this is not just a fringe little group that is expressing concern. this is a national voice that is being expressed and it's definitely bipartisan. >> sure. it sounds like some of the political talking points that have been circulated on the left where whoever criticizes you, they're an extremist. you're going to hear extremist, koch brothers regarding politics, not common core. what is it in particular you don't like about common core? >> well, the thing about common core is one, it makes me nervous whenever anything is being pushed quickly, just kind of like the statement of we have to pass it before we know what's in it. when you don't know what's in it, when there is a statement that it's being brought up through grassroots and through the association of governors and now in the back end we're finding that most comfortable with it, then when you have 35 states doing
legislation and you add in with those that never wanted to implement it, that leaves only ten states that are not having some kind of pushback from saying, we don't like common core. it's a federal power grab. it's an unconstitutional mandate from the federal government. it invades the privacy of the parents and the teachers and the individual students in it. takes away the states' autonomy over education. and not only that, it's being done in such a way where they're pushing it forward quickly to where it's making it really difficult on the educatorrors. they have excessive assessments being done and it really is a vehicle for viewpoint discrimination when you have viewpoint belief being pushed through the federal government. >> you know what this southern poverty law center is trying to do. they're trying -- they realize there are critics out there, so they're trying to make people, oh, if you're against it, you're a radical, you're an extremist. you're as bad as fox news!
>> then i would claim that title. i just think that what they're doing is very, very helpful to the cause of those dissenters to common core. what i like to call observe observe core because it ex -- obama core because it exposes the desperation taking place. now they're resorting to, instead of any kind of substantive basis to support obama core, they're basically resorting to name calling, marginalization, trying to say that there is not a legitimate concern when there clearly is. i think karen lewis, the president of the chicago teachers union, said it very well as far as agreeing with the parents and educators that this is a federal power grab. >> first time i heard it called obama core. i think that will stick. cynthia, a parent and a former member of the texas school board, thank you very much for joining us live. >> my pleasure. what do you think about that? e-mail us regarding obama core. straight ahead, new developments

good morning. today is monday, may 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. changes taking place today at the v.a. after 40 veterans died waiting to see a doctor. this as their families learn that the problem still has not been fixed. >> our veterans deserve the health care that they fought for this country. they deserve better. >> where is the president on this? critics of the first gay football player fined for speaking out for openly gay player drafted. where was the crackdown when tim tebow was attacked for his faith? does the media have a double standard on tolerance? we're going to report and you will decide. plus, together they can take on anything. these twins born hand in hand.
they beat the odds and give their mom a fantastic mother's day miracle. meanwhile, according to all sources that they have on the ground and in the air, mornings are better with friends. >> hi, this is kathy ireland. you're watching "fox & friends". >> by the way, is she irish? >> why wouldn't she be? she's got ireland in her name. >> right. >> makes sense. there is two irish stories in the news. you have donald trump at his irish resort golf course and kathy ireland on our show. >> just like that, we just put things in the news. of course, today is the post game show for mother's day yesterday. earlier we showed photographs of elisabeth and my family celebrating. now brian, apparently we've located a picture of you and your family. >> that was good. we have great verticals. we had to quit jumping because we had no idea it was that hot.
we do this tradition every year. we'll grab any kids and we'll run to the beach with them. >> actually, that is not your family because we felt so bad that you didn't have a picture, we just paid $60 for a stock photo of a happy family 'cause you forgot! >> i did not know that we were supposed to give pictures of our family for mother's day. >> tonight you want to take pictures of your wife celebrating mother's day with her children so she can remember when she looks back years from now? remember that year? >> if you don't say anything, i could bring that picture home and tell her it was us. >> how about you recreate that and bring it back in? >> why don't i pretend -- why don't i say, i forgot. i have pictures, i just don't have them with me. >> joining us right now is somebody who did not forget. we're talking about bret baier who joins us from our nation's capitol. bret, we've got a photograph from yesterday. your wife with your beautiful boys. >> yes. >> i've got a feeling you probably took the picture. >> i did. the kids cooked breakfast for mom and had a good day.
mom got a massage. it was a nice day. you know what? i knew that wasn't brian 'cause he doesn't have that leap. i don't have the vertical. >> you saw my combine from the '80s. definitely didn't do quite as well. >> your 40-yard dash is okay, right, bret? >> that's right. pretty fast. >> beautiful family pic. >> good morning to you. we're glad you're here. love that picture. want to talk about what's going on at the v.a., phoenix has a new quarterback. we call him steve young stepping in to take over and make some changes here. we have sharon hellman, she was placed on administrative leave. will this be a difference maker as we wait for the affairs secretary there to testify this week? >> it may change the situation on the ground. but the bottom line is they have not had significant changes as of yet, even after this thing came out. you have the v.a. secretary saying that he wants to get to the bottom of it. this is not why he came to
washington. in a couple of interviews he did last week. but you're right, this testimony could be interesting because it's not just phoenix. there are other places around the country now that are reporting similar things. it's something that obviously every state is looking into. >> one of the bad things is it sounds like the secretary, general shinseki, knew about it in december, never did anything 'til it hit the fan. suddenly we've got these stories coming out. earlier in the 6:00 o'clock hour, bret, we had sonia nicastro. her husband, ralph, in 2011, went into the v.a. hospital in phoenix. he had a lump on his neck. and they said yep. you got a lump on your neck, you need to see another doctor. he waited for years until he died. he never was seen there. he wound up using benefits from his job at the postal service to go to the mayo clinic because it had gotten so out of happened, they couldn't fix it. she was on with her attorney
earlier today and she just wants to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else. listen. >> he had to keep work, sick or well, to keep his health care in effect because he cooperate get the treatment he deserved at the v.a. i want answers why it happened, how it happened, and how is this going to be affecting other vets in the future? it needs to be stopped. our veterans deserve the health care that they fought for this country. they deserve better. >> you just wonder what's happening with the first lady and the president on this. >> well, this is just amazingly emotional issue and obviously people across both sides of the aisle believe veterans should get the health care they need and it is explosive issue up on capitol hill. so you will see a hearing when this all comes to head where politicians will really be searching for answers. the president has come out and said he is launching a full investigation and wants to get to the bottom of it as well.
but it is such an emotionally charged issue when you have veterans who are not getting what they need and possibly the allegations here, that they are dying in line. >> bret, do we have any idea how many years this goes back? >> we don't. and we don't know how extensive it is. it may be that this investigation unearths a whole bunch of new info. >> big story over the weekend was about the ukraine and the referendum that vladimir putin may be with a wink and a nod says, i don't think should take place. in another portion of eastern ukraine, they vote. the turn out, according to reports, was large. and was overwhelmingly, two other sections of ukraine want autonomy. where do we stand right now? >> this is not getting recognized by anyone outside of these two regions and this is in eastern ukraine. but the people there on the ground are saying that the turnout was some 89% voting in favor of this referendum to pull
out and have autonomy from the ukrainian government. you're right, vladimir putin said don't go ahead with this referendum. but you wonder, these pro-russian separatist groups are essentially answering to russia and this sends another signal that there is this breakup in ukraine. violence is continuing. this is not a good sign for the may 25 election in ukraine which the u.s. and international allies -- the u.s. allies want to see go forward. if that does not go forward, this is going to get even messier. >> surely. >> you look at it, how do you come down with further sanctions on russia when vladimir putin said, i told them not to do it. so now he's got denyability. he's playing it very coyly. >> yeah. and also he said he was pulling troops back from the border and there is no indication from nato or the u.s. that that happened. >> he was playing hockey yesterday. he scored six goals. what a performance. even gretzky is in awe. get ready for your show coming up soon.
>> okay. just a little ways away. >> you got ten hours. >> just telling you, it sneaks up on you. >> i'll work on you. >> thank you. >> at 6:00 o'clock today. let's turn to heather nauert who has the news. >> hi. we've been following that story very closely about this. images of some of those kidnapped school girls. this is brand-new video that has apparently just been released by the terror group boko haram. it claims to show 100 of the kidnapped girls in this video. it's 27 minutes long. the group's terror leader on this video declares the girls have been converted from christianity to islam. the leader also saying that he will exchange these school girls for boko haram prisoners. this is the first possible sighting since nearly 300 girls were kidnapped last month. security experts in the u.s., u.k. and france are in nigeria providing assistance with that rescue operation.
we will keep you posted on that. wild weather pounding the plains over the weekend. tornadoes leaving a trail of destruction across kansas, nebraska. several twisters ripping roofs off buildings and bringing down power lines. then look at this. this in the state of missouri. clean-up is underway after a powerful ef-2 tornado trampled a small town destroying nearly everything in its path. then out west, a spring storm dropping a foot of snow in colorado, nebraska, making for dangerous driving conditions there. another story right now, caught on camera, it was a dramatic rescue from a cliff in new jersey. two nypd search and rescue helicopters were called in to save a hike who are had slipped on a rock and then stumbled off a trail that overlooked the hudson river near alpine, new jersey. the hiker was left clinging to the side of a 200-foot cliff for five hours until she was finally pulled to safety. she's now being treated for a broken ankle. oh, boy. those are your headlines.
you know that area well. >> when you're driving across the george washington bridge, it's over there. it's just a shear face. >> five hours clinging to a rock. but they got her. >> thank you very much. exactly ten minutes after the top of the hour. democrats continue to call the search for justice in benghazi political. >> the fact is this is a stunt. this is a political stunt. >> oh, really? congressman mike pompeo of kansas is on the select committee. he joins us live to explain why madam pelosi, dead wrong. >> and look out, miley cyrus. we've got new competition. this cat can twerk. ♪ ♪ how did we do it last time? i don't know... i forget.

you just have to assume republicans will continue this because it feeds a political objective of some sort. >> the fact is this is a stunt. this is a political stunt. >> well, democrats are kicking and screaming over the new probe into what happened in benghazi 20 months ago. they said nothing but a ploy to make democrats look bad before the election. but the republicans on that committee say there is something the left is leaving out. congressman mike pompeo is one of the seven republicans sitting on the benghazi select committee. he's also a retired captain who served in the u.s. army. he's a harvard law school graduate. he was a litigator. he's in my home state of kansas and he joins us live from wichita. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. great to be with you from
kansas. >> it's great to have you as well. when you heard jay carney and nancy pelosi say what you're doing is just a stunt, i'm sure you wanted to yell at the tv and say what? >> look, they know better. they know that the speaker has appointed seven serious people. i hope that they will appoint five very serious people. i've seen this in the intelligence committee working in a bipartisan way to get facts. my charge is very clear, to get to the bottom of the facts that surrounded this enormous foreign policy failure and the death of four americans. we're going to go work hard every day to do it. i've got no axes to griped or political favors to pay. we're going to get to the bottom of this. >> was it the ben rhodes e-mail made public just about two weeks ago where it was very clear -- judicial watch wound up with it. you guys in congress didn't get it. it made it very clear that it was coordination with the white house on what susan rice should say on the five morning chat shows on a sunday and it was to push the video, which was a lie.
was that the impetus for finally getting select committee? >> steve, it's the case for a long time. a lot of folks have been calling for a special committee and the speaker was reluctant. we had four committees looking at this, trying to figure out precisely what happened on september 11, 2012. then a series of things culminating in the fact that we now know the president didn't turn over all the documents in response to a congressional subpoena. and that's unacceptable. so we're going to go get all the documents. we're going to get all the witnesses. we're going to find out precisely what happened and share just as much of it as we can with the american people just as quickly as we can. >> it would be great to hear from some of the people because some of the people who we've wanted to hear from for the last 20 months have been -- the stories are that they were told by their bosses whether it's the c.i.a. or state department, if you want to keep your pension, if you want to get paid, if you don't want to get sued, you got to clam up. >> we've got to get to the bottom of those stories as well. we need to make sure that everyone who was involved in
this has the opportunity to speak with us, to share their testimony, their ideas, their thoughts about what really happened that night so we can get that. we need to make sure that this administration doesn't cover up, doesn't deny and doesn't withhold. if we can do those things, we'll get the answers for the american people and then this committee will have done its job. >> you just mentioned cover-up. we did a fox news poll and we asked, is the administration covering up or being open and honest about benghazi? 61% said it's a cover-up. they're trying to cover-up. only a quarter of americans said they're open and transparent. so the people of the united states would like to know whether or not it is a cover-up. >> that's part of our task as well. look, i'm going to keep an open mind. but we know that there were political actors participating in the announcements post event that if they were trying to figure out precisely how to describe it, we know what the intelligence community said. we know they knew almost instantly this was an al-qaeda
attack, with al-shariah being part of it. the evidence is already there and we have to figure out why it is the case that this administration for so long didn't disclose that to the american people and share what was going on there, that this was an al-qaeda attack that killed four americans. >> we don't like the answers. good luck on your journey to try to figure it out. >> thank you. >> thank you. all right. it's now 18 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, you're invited to the dark side. a satanic mass planned at harvard tonight, of course. but wait until you hear how one student is fighting back. he joins us live next. and it doesn't get any closer than this. a church just inches away from destruction -- look at this great big boulder rolling up toward the back, stopped by divine intervention? that's what the pastor says. you'll hear him coming up. ♪ ♪ [ female announcer ] it's simple physics...

mockery of the christian faith and all people of faith. >> how many signatures do you have on the petition to date? >> a couple are flows around, total is around 50,000. >> wow. and then the school said they're not happy with it. they find this disturbing and offensive to those who live at the harvard community. but they really paraphrasing here, they want you guys to be able to do this in a sensitive way. they want people to be sensitive to one another, but they haven't been outright in terms of saying they don't want this taking place. and then the harvard extension culture studies club says this is just about history. it's not about religion. you say? >> i say freedom of speech is what it is. i think this has nothing to do with it in this case. in the university community, freedom of speech has a purpose and that purpose is to get after the truth, to build a civil community, to build friendships across disagreements. this is more obscenity than speech, if anything.
and if this were a reenactment of a kkk rally or some sort of desecration of the koran, i think no one would have trouble seeing that. >> so you believe this is an attack then on catholics or christians there. do you want the school to step up and cancel it before it starts tonight ideally? >> ideally the club that's hosting it would see sense and cancel it. but i would definitely support the university stepping in. again, i don't think it's a question of freedom of expression. i think this is basically an obscenity that offends a huge segment of the community. >> do you think there will be some sort of protest outside of where this is happening in the basement of the building? >> i don't know. on a i'll be -- i'll be in prayer with the catholic community at the local catholic church a few blocks away. that's where there is going to be a big gathering and other parishes and churches all across boston, greater boston area, and even further away will joining together in solidarity.

>> does it look real? >> i thought it did. >> looks like a real cat. just shaky. >> you could have a string on the tail. >> how would you be shaking the -- the cat seems -- i don't know how you would fake that. >> maybe it's brushing something away. looks real to me. >> 29 minutes before the top of the hour on this monday. it is one of the mostnday ums i, opening later today an nearly three years. the washington monument has a new lease on life after sustaining major damage from the earthquake in 2011. remember? >> doug luzader is there live with a sneak peek at that. a great site to see, doug. >> reporter: good morning. yeah. it looks beautiful this morning. especially because you can actually see it now. remember for a long time, this thing was covered in scaffolding and people had to keep a fair distance away because of all of the work that was being done both inside and outside.
for the better part of three years, this is about as close as you could get to the washington monument. a lengthy fence encircled one of the nation's real treasures, keeping everyone at arm's length and then some. >> this is pretty close. >> reporter: a 555 feet high, thank you very much. it's those last few feet that at least initially caused all of the concern back in august of 2011. >> this is a fox news alert. we are just getting reports from our dc bureau that an earthquake was felt in washington, d.c. >> reporter: that earthquake would rattle a part of the country that rarely experiences them. the monument it turns out didn't make it through unscathed. a climbing crew would eventually scale the heights and survey the damage. >> directly above me, this is the large crack op the west elevation. >> the greatest damage was in what we call the point from 500 feet to the top where the sides angle in. >> reporter: the crack was just
the most visible damage. but there were other issues as well. shoring up the monument would be a massive project. it was shrouded in scaffolding for much of the time as architects, historic preservationists and stone may have beens did their work. -- masons did their work. the cost? a staggering $15 million. eventually they fixed 150 cracks. for those long years, just like these folks, you could take in all of the grandeur you wanted, but only from a distance. >> this is the closest i've ever been to it and regardless of how many days i come here, i still see it as a beautiful sight. >> i miss going in. so i'm excited for it. >> reporter: as we come back out live, you see all the people there waiting in line for tickets. the ticket office has just opened. they'll be able to get back inside this afternoon when the thing actually reopens officially to the public. prior to that there is going to be a big ceremony this morning. by the way, we did the math. those cracks cost about $100,000 apiece to fix.
back to you guys. >> it's washington, d.c they've got an unlimited funds, why not a million dollars a crack? >> reporter: don't make that suggestion. they'll spend it. >> that's right. i drove by it yesterday. it was beautiful. >> doug was part of the climbing crew that evaluated the side of the building. he actually said no rope. i'll just do it myself. >> like spiderman. >> have you been in the washington monument? >> many times. >> is it enjoyable? >> yeah. great. >> you never talk about it. >> it was back in the day. >> doug, thank you very much. let's talk football. let's talk football because this sixth round draft pick michael sam made history. >> after becoming the first openly gay player drafted by the nfl, the rams took him on, social media is asking why he's being praised when tebow was being ridiculed for his faith. a lot of people came out with support or coming out against it. they were fines given to players coming out against the idea of the kiss. one player came out of fsu, a
linebacker there, demarcus walker, who tweeted this. he said y'all praised him for being gay, but mocked tim tebow for being a christian. throwing the flag on what seems to be a double standard when it comes to media. >> it does kind of look like a double standard. i don't care if he's gay and the many things that have been said over the last couple of days. but it does look like there is a double standard. it's like remember when tim tebow was out and he was very vocal and visible about his religion? and there was some things that were tweeted about him that were so bad, nobody got fined, like that guy got fined from miami. for instance, here is a tweet from philadelphia eagles guard evan matthias. he said, don't die a virgin. terrorists are waiting up there for you at tim tebow. thinking about you, big guy.
he didn't get in trouble for that. there just does seem to be a double standard. >> sure. especially remember back demarcus' tweet, it was retweeted over 9,000 times as of last night. there were people thinking this same thing. we asked you what you thought. bill e-mailed us and said to know someone's religion or sexual orientation is fine. continual displays of either is not. tebow wouldn't make that -- would make that display that every time. >> in today's world, one says it's great to be gay. wrong to pray. a little don kingish. >> keep the e-mail coming and we will collect them and tweet them out ourselves as well. it's now 24 minutes before the top of the hour. heather nauert joins us live with the very latest on what's going on in afghanistan. >> good morning. breaking news coming in overnight from afghanistan. kabul, militants carry out a deadly attack on a government
building there. the armed group of taliban insurgents storming a justice department building, clashing with security forces and also firing rockets. by the time the fighting ended, seven people, including three insurgents were dead. this marks the beginning of the taliban's annual spring offensive. back here at home, the third person killed in that hot air balloon tragedy in virginia has now been located. the body of one of the passengers, natalie lewis, was found 25 miles north of richmond, virginia. she was traveling with a colleague, ginny doyle, both of them worked together at the university of richmond. the pilot on board has been identified as mike daniel kirk, you can see his picture there. his family said he had more than 20 years experience ballooning. that hot air balloon crashed friday night after it hit a power line and then caught on fire. investigators say they're still working to find most of the wreckage of the we'll keep you posted. she could be paralyzed for the rest of her life, but a massachusetts mom says it was well worth it. she jumped out of a third story building that was burning in
order to save her young son's life. a fire had broken out at her apartment complex in massachusetts. the flames and smoke started spreading so fast that christina grabbed her 19- 18-month-old boy and jumped from a window he was not hurt, but she broke her back. >> she jumped out of a house and said, well, he's all right. so that's it. >> after a sixan hour surgery, doctors say she may not walk again. but her son is okay thanks to his brave mom. is this divine intervention? look at this video here. missed it by one foot. >> that is a boulder right there. this happened outside of a church in boston. there was a demolition nearby and a massive 20-ton boulder started rolling in the direction of the church and came to a stop just a few inches from that
building. unbelievable. the pastor saw the entire thing. he joined us early your on the show to talk about it. listen to this. >> the invisible world is a world that exists to me. as a christian, we see the invisible by faith. to me, it was an angel, if you would, just kind of put his hand on that stone and said, that's far enough. >> wow. if that boulder had crashed the church, it would have taken out a food pantry that feeds thousands of people. amazing. those are your headlines. nba playoffs got everybody excited. game 4 between the pacers and wizards. let's pick it up in the fourth quarter. down by six. george hill, three and the foul. george hit 39 points, 12 rebounds. pacers win 95-92 and lead the best of seven three games to one now. and thunder and clippers.

islamic world. now suddenly it's the beverly hills hotel and the polo lounge. they're protesting that, even though -- for years, the stars have been staying at the fairmont, which is owned by saudis, staying at the four seasons. it's almost half owned by a saudi. how are women's rights doing in saudi arabia right now? my problem essentially is simply this: tell your viewers something, i'm not a republican. i am an independent and on ethical jon stewart middle ground. i am pro-choice. but the notion that the left has created this lie about republican war on women while they are ignoring the brutality, brutal treatment of women, boko haram, obviously. you have women being punished for being raped. you have general mutilation -- genital mutilation. you have stoning to death, but also the slavery, oppression, the lack of freedom and the
american left says nothing about it and let me give you a classic example. yesterday in the "new york times" nicholas christof, he wrote a column about the importance of education for women and every example he cited of deprivation was an islamic country. and yet never in that column does he use the word islam or the word muslim. he seemed to have left contorting itself, not to say boko haram is an islamist organization. that doesn't mean all muslims are bad. but it does mean that if you look honestly at the world, only in the islamic world, ohm in the islamic world are women brutally oppressed and do they suffer the deprivation of rights and the american left says nothing. >> and one exception i know is mavis leno. everybody wants us to pull out
of afghanistan. the day after we leave, the day that government falls, if they're not ready, all those women get out of the schools, all the girls are not going to be allowed to be educated. they all get their burqas on and hide in the back room. the rights dissipate and no one is even saying that. >> yeah. look at obviously our relations with saudi arabia. but there is a fundamental problem that ultimately we can't fix with our military. and that is the sickness within greater middle east. you have a struggle between some muslims fighting valiantly, struggling to modernize their faith, to it, to adhere to the best values of islam, but by refusing to criticize the radical, the crazies, we undercut the moderates and what we've got right now is american left that defends islam and basically hates christianity and judaism. >> i hear the passion. i think you made your point. very well done. thanks so much. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead in our final block, if you eat a
vegetarian diet, you will always be skinny. right? wrong. diet fact and fiction coming your way. first let's check in with a guy who has great abs according to everyone we know. bill hemmer. >> all eight of them. how are you doing? >> real good. >> bombshell from tim geithner. was he told to lie on television? a stunning picture of the young girls held in africa. why have democrats joined the benghazi investigation and will they? and how much for a health care change? keep counting because the numbers are in. they're downright brutal. martha and i will see you on a monday, ten minutes away, top o] the hour why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain. it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease

it's springtime, which means it's crunch time when it comes to shedding the extra pounds. but there is some diet myths that might be sabotaging your weight loss goals. we're going to look into those
with dr. smith, the author of the super shred diet. he'll join us now to debunk some of those big lies that are out there when it comes to losing weight. one of which, we'll start with this one -- if i work out, i can eat whatever i want. >> this has been going on for a long time. theoretically, it's about a calorie equation. if you are consuming 3,000 calories and you can burn 3,000-calories in the gym, then you're good. guess what? in order to do that, you have to work out for eight to ten hours. so who is going to work out for that long in the course of a day? so it is logistically infeesable to work out enough for a bad diet. >> mathematically impossible, which brings us to the other three points. one is if i eat a vegetarian diet, i won't get chubby. >> not true because it's not just about the entree, it's about what you're putting around the meal. if you take a nice salad by itself, extremely healthy. a lot of greens, peppers. but if you add salad dressing that is full fat, you can take a
salad that's 200-calories and make it 8 or 900 calories just by what you add to it. same thing with the veggie burger. people say, i'm not eating beef. it's healthy. >> so it's a veggie burger's friend. >> we're eating french fries and putting on maybe a lot of ketchup or mayo. there are ways as a vegetarian to increase your calorie count and be unhealthy. >> what about carbs? you say what? >> this bothers me the most. carbs are your friend. they are not your enemy. it's all about the right carbs. carbs are the number one source of fuel for the body and the brain. you can't live without carbs. but what are good carbs? avocados are great. beans, legumes, yogurt. >> but you can't put cream cheese on an avocado. >> you can put a dabble to mix it. but these are bad carbs. but to say carbs are no good for you, that's nonsense and i'm glad people are realizing there are good carbs. >> focus on the quality carbs.
we're always worried about not being hydrated enough. you say you can be overhydrated. >> some believe if you drink a lot of water, it will make you healthier. not necessarily. first of all, drinking too much water can be a problem because you dilute your electrolyting, sodium and potassium. that can cause serious problems. the other part is you can overload your system. too much water can -- if you're not eliminating it forly, could lead to you retaining too much water. and the second or third thing, is do not make you healthy necessarily. what if you're still eating bad? eating burgers and fries. they don't offset each other. water is good for you, eight to ten cups a at this is what you need -- a day is what you need. but don't go crazy. >> thank you so much. super shred is his book. check that out. now we know the truth about the diet myths. >> that's right as it is strong and fights pain at the site of inflammation. advil has the strength and speed to help you move past pain.

washington to explain. >> reporter: "the new york post" reported that karl rove did make those suggestions last week at a conference, and rove clarified on the channel he was never claiming clinton had brain damage but he did suggest details are not forthcoming on what medical issues then-secretary of state hillary clinton was dealing with. clinton's team is quick to fight back, oneç spokesperson saying -- quote -- "they are scared of what she has achieved and what she has to offer. time for them to move on to their next decks pratt attack." rove said senator john mccain faced similar questions when he ran in 2008 and it's not an uncommon inquiry for such high-profile candidates. >> i didn't say she had brain damage. she had a serious health episode. this was a serious deal. she's in and out of the office starting on the 7th of december after she returns. she returns on a friday from the czech republic but then it begins an over a month-long period where she
has a serious illness ending up putting her in the hospital. >> jay carney mocked rove during the briefing yesterdav3 >> you're asking the question based on the assertion of a political consultant which is a kind waive putting -- kind way of putting his job. here's what i would say about cognitive capacity, which dr. rove might have been the last person in america on election night to recognize and acknowledge the president had won reelection including the state of ohio, so we'll leave it at that. >> this incident stemming from a fall clinton took back in 2012 after returning from a european trip where she fainted, fell and did suffer a concussion. we have a lot to seeç on this story. >> elizabeth prann, thank you very much. >> she was supposed to testify in the benghazi situation and they said she was not feeling well. then she shows up with the glasses on. i thought it was one of the
most unreported stories. the secretary of state passes out; we don't know why. she comes back and testifies after delay. she wasn't feeling away. karl rove said she was in the hospital for 30 days. not straight. she had to go back and forth for observation. >> i remember working with barbara walters after she suffered a fall in the same season. hillary clinton sent her a letter explaining, saying barbara you know how it goes, throwing a casual comment out there when you fall and hit your head, sort ofç softening a bit primarily to a female audience. this is not something that is unusual to question the president's health. >> absolutely not. >> it is hypocritical for attacking somebody for looking into the records of somebody who may be candidate for president of the united states. >> the way i recall, bill clinton never released his medical records. i think they released a medical summary when he was running because people wanted to try to figure out what was going on with him for a variety of reasons. but there does seem to be
hypocrisy between the right and the left. but you know this. president obama talking about john mccain back in the day when obama was still a senator and how mccain lost his bearings. >> for him to toss out comments like that, i think, gives an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. >> a little hypocrisy checkup there. >> can you imagine if a candidate said my point lost their bearings. >> can you imagine -- let's go back all the way -- it's not thursday yet but we're going to throw back to the 1980's, 1984 i believe it was when it was the second debate between ronald reagan and mondale. brit hume said let's try to understand what it was like for someone to questionç someone's age when they would be president. >> look back at ronald reagan running for reelection in 1984. he loses his debate to
walter mondale and i'll never forget the night richard threlkeld, the question was on the air as to whether reagan was okay. there were questions about his mental acuity at that point which he managed to take care of in the next debate. but all president's health records become public. age sharpens the issue. hillary clinton will be the age ronald reagan wasç when he was running in 1980. >> that's right. essentially i think what we have seen is a preview of perhaps a presidential election. if you pick on hillary for any reason, some will say you're picking on her because of her age, so you're an ageist. if you're picking on her because she's a woman, you're a sexist. >> she knows what it is like to be the target when she ran against obama. i think she is going to get competition.
governor o'malley of maryland is going to go at it. let's see if he starts calling out hillary maybe that she's too old or more of the same. later on the show we're going to have a guest who says maybeç the biggest obstacle that hillary clinton has is that people have obama fatigue. >> fatigue is a real condition. >> very good point. >> there are conditions that should have been investigated, so we're going to shift gears to the v.a. debacle. jeff miller, a representative out of florida, wrote a letter to president obama explaining, daily we are hearing about the inaction of the v.a. and how veterans, 40 reportedly, died waiting on a secret list. this is just getting too awful to wait on. we should have a select committee to investigateç here. and eric holder, though, attorney general, says no, we're not going to do that. we're going to hold the offer on looking into why these veterans are being left to die after serving our nation. >> meanwhile you've got
bernie sanders out there, and he's figured it all out, what's going on with all these people dying, waiting on these secret lists. you know who you can blame? the koch brothers. >> there is right now as we speak a concerted effort to undermine the v.a. so the point is you have government entity itself, social security enormously popular. medicare enormously popular. postal service popular. v.a. popular. what are theç problems? the problems is that all of these are large governmental institutions, and you have folks out there now, koch brothers and others, who want to radically change the nature of society and even make major cuts in all of these institutions or maybe do away with them entirely. >> amazing too, the guy talked about changing major
portions of society. he happens to be a socialist. a lot of people think in his view, we're all on the wrong side of society. but i think it's also important toç understand. this reminds me of, remember when you used to get spelling words and you had to memorize them and to help you do it, you had to use it in a sentence and you couldn't possibly think of a way to use this word on your spelling assignment in a sentence. it is as if he starts the day thinking how do i use the word koch brothers in a sentence? >> then he calls harry reid. >> right. and he says harry, i got my sentence in. >> coming up, he founded the weather underground, but no one complains when he'sç asked to speak. coming up next. >> why did alec baldwin end

the beer league that did this in the ski ball people should zip their lips. aspirin, yoyo, zipper, are names no longer trademarked. they're genericked. and the idea in this case is that the brewski ball people are saying it's ski ball. we call this game ski ball. they can't trademark it. and brewsski ball doesn't confuse anybody, so go away. >> they say nothing going on. >> and nobody is harmed. >> this is what i say. first of all, it says right here, skiball, u.s. patent office. it's not a trademark, but there is a patent on this design and there is a company that actually owns the name. but the reason why he's correct, why all the names, yoyo and things like that are household names is because nobody went and did this and went to court to challenge it.
yoyo never went to court and said this is my did she this is our name. >> what would happen if they did? >> we don't know. so skisexual going to court and -- ski social security ball is going to court saying this is our name. they don't want somebody playing and getting in a wreck and kill somebody. now their good name, all kids love to go and play skiball are ruined. >> so let me ask you this, what's next? beer pong is something for ping-pong. should ping-pong be worried about their name being used -- >> there is no ping-pong name. if that's your example, it's not a good one for ski ball because there is no ping-pong trademark. we play ping-pong, you can call it beer popping, call it anything you want. >> ping-pong is more like football. whereas this is a thing. >> what if it looked completely
different? >> it's not the machine. it's the league that -- these people are not manufacturing a machine that looks like a ski ball machine, but isn't. so there is no confusion and when you got a trademark case, the issue is, are you confusing people? are people going to think hey, the ski ball company is running this league? there is no possible way you could think that. >> what happened between 2005 and now, because they the league founder, he gave the blessing in 2005. >> this is the interesting thing. when we ran an investigation into our company, life is lived chronologically. these guys did nothing to defend their name. then they went in to an agreement with the brews ski ball people. >> it was a handshake agreement. >> a week after they start to reveal confidential information. this is what's in the superintendent all of a sudden they say hey, our trademark, our good name and went to court. >> initially it was a publicity stunt for them to get a name and
it blew out of proportion. >> we're going to see what happens and how it unfolds and how the game unfolds, who is the winner and the loser. we want to thank aardvark amusement for giving us a nice time to play this morning. >> ladies first. >> i came so close. coming up, veterans being cheated when it comes to student loans. they were charged more than anyone. and speak of our military, he hasn't played football in four years, but that's because he was fighting for our freedom. that's about to change. the army ranger headed to the nfl. we're honored to have him here. ♪ ♪ and the award goes to ceramics house. congratulations. thank you. the success of your small business depends on results. go vests!

joshua's parents. >> you might remember the company from the case of josh hardy. it repeatedly denied him the drug as well. eventually that company did reverse course after intense public scrutiny. the 9-11 memorial museum opens up tomorrow, but we have this brand-new video just into "fox & friends" of what it looks like. the museum dedicated to honoring the tragic events of september 11 features more than 20,000 photographs, 500 hours of footage, and thousands of artifacts. >> 25 bucks. >> to get in. >> it should be free. it's five minutes after the top of the hour. >> karl rove kicked off a political fire storm yesterday in a war of words with hillary clinton. so he's getting slammed for people suggesting that he said hillary clinton might have brain damage after a fall she suffered in 2012. but he says his words are being
twisted. >> to sort it all out, we fetched elizabeth prann who explains what's going on. >> karl rove came on the channel this week to clarify what the "new york post" is reporting saying he never claimed former secretary of state hillary clinton had brain damage. listen here. >> she had a serious health episode. i mean, this was a serious deal. she basically is out of action from -- she's in and out of the office starting on the 7th of december after she returns. she returns on a friday from the czech republic. but then begins over a month long period where she's got a serious illness, ending up putting her in the hospital. we don't know what the doctor said about what does she have to be concerned about. >> so you see there that rove says details surrounding her medical issues are not forth coming, especially when it comes to the fall she took in december of 2012 after returning from a trip to europe where she fainted, she fell and suffered a concussion. he we want on to say that senator john mccain faced
similar health questions when he ran back in 2008, that, in fact, it's not an uncommon inquiry for high profile candidates. clinton's team is quick to fight back, one spokesman saying they're scared of what she has achieved and what she has to offerment time for them to move on to their next desperate attack. the white house even chiming in, jay carney took a jab at rove during the press briefing just yesterday. >> you asked the question based on a political consultant, which is a kind way of -- it is medical evaluation. shear what i would say about cognitive capacity, which is dr. rove might have been the last person in america on election night to recognize and acknowledge that the president won reelection, including the state of ohio, so we'll leave it at that. >> clinton has yet to say if she'll even run in 2016. back to you. >> thank you very much. look, it wasn't karl rove, the first to on the national scale
to mention hillary's problems. i think it was two or three months ago, drudge report mentioned is she sick and people were talking behind the scenes about a myriad of intentional health problems for hillary clinton. will she release her medical records? i bet not. think about her husband, bill clinton, when he was running for president. he was asked to repeatedly and to the best of my knowledge, he never did. they did release a general summary about his health. but that was it. >> you want to talk cognitive capacity, which we just saw jay carney refer to, perhaps we need to check on memory because this isn't first time this has been tossed around because of cheap shots. remember when president obama was saying that mccain lost his bears because he was too old. listen to this. >> for him to toss out comments like that, i think it's an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. >> i mean, that's important to bring up. the other thing is, i said this
last hour, it was one of those underreported stories i can remember because we were just waiting to see if she was going to testify for benghazi. all we heard about is she wasn't up to it. somehow she had a virus. then she turns out, well, she hit her head. whoa, did someone hit her head? did she fall? yeah, she hit her head, fell. then comes back with these glasses. they go, it's just going to be temporary. that's how hard she hit her head. i'm thinking to myself, that's huge. if that was in my family, that would be huge news. all of a sudden you're wearing glasses for months, you can't go to work. you're in and out of the hospital for 30 days. so i think ha as a consultant if you're asking karl rove to give his prognosis and he's on stage next to robert gibbs and other experts and ask him to talk about prospects in 2016, i think her health is only natural to bring up, especially her age. it's an issue. >> especially as it relates to benghazi. is she still not okay? still haven't heard anything as it relates to decisions made prior to, during and after. >> i'm sure she'll be subpoenaed, though. brit hume took us way back
here, a little throw back tuesday it was. we're going to bring it to you on wednesday when he said look, this has always been called into question. remember when president reagan was facing mondale in the second debate in 1984? check him out. >> look back at ronald reagan running for reelection in 1984, he loses a debate to walter mondale and i'll never forget the night that richard thrill kill of abc news said on the care, the question was whether reagan was, you know, okay. certainly there were questions about his mental acutity at that point which he managed to take care of in the next debate. but all presidents' health records become public. age raises that and sharpens the issue and hillary clinton will be about the age i guess that ronald reagan was when he was running in 1980. >> surely it will be an issue, her health. and it has been for a while. it's funny how rumors have a way of getting injected into the campaign. remember back in 2008 the suggestion that barak obama was
not born in this country. that actually came from supporters of hillary clinton. of course, here we are years later, people are still talking about that. >> just let's change gears and talk about your house. let's talk about your household perhaps. the author of "good night nanny cam" has come out with a fascinating look at overparenting perhaps in today's society, called a beta parenting where you are pretty much a beta parent is somebody that is laid back, kind of like the 1970s parent or the 1960s parent, or every other parent in america. >> alpha parents are the helicopter parents. they want to do everything for their kids so that the kids go to mit by the time they're seven years old. the beta parents, more like the way we were all raised. >> remember this? there is dvd's and videos out for the baby when it's in the womb, to play certain music. >> we had that. >> you did that? >> sure. >> see, that's an example of
alpha parenting. >> that's why i was doing a story on it. it didn't work, by the way. >> so this is what she said the beta parent said, they don't try to engage their kids every second of the day. sometimes they leave them alone with a crayon, string and cardboard box. they let their parents eat processed cheese. beta parents don't hide pumpkin puree in the pancakes. >> sometimes you let your kids color the flag on a driveway like you did. >> the way she has written this thing -- she wrote this beta parent manifesto in the huffington post, you really want to be a beta parent when you look at it as opposed to an alpha parent. we asked you what you thought. one said let kids be kids. that's how they learn. give guidance when needed, but let them be themselves. >> doug said when i was a kid, my parents were beta. i'd be jumping off the roof onto
the trampoline and then into the pool all day. >> excuse me, i think that's a little bit out of control. do not do that. jerry e-mailed, my older brother and i used to travel by subway from the bronks to brooklyn to watch the dodgers play. we were 11 and seven and it took about two hours each way. i guess we had beta parents. that was the story back then. >> sure. these days that would be regarded as child abuse. anita writes on facebook, building forts in the woods, ice skating on frozen ponds, good lord, how did i ever survive a childhood like that? somehow i remember occasionally going swimming less than a half hour after i ate a meal. >> wow! that is incredible! >> somehow i made it. >> that's akin to joining a gang today. >> being beta may you betta at being a parent? keep them coming. >> i actually think i was definitely too alpha.
>> really? >> yeah. i think katy, my youngest, is benefitting from the fact that maybe i was too alpha with brian and in between -- i canned of lost interest with -- kind of lost interest with the last one. >> it's a perception that a lot of parents have. in the beginning they push as much as they can. >> i remember sitting at the table going what's her name again? >> coming up, america, what's hillary's biggest issue heading into 2016? other next guest says it's not benghazi. we'll talk to doctor, professor, genius larry sabato who predicted nearly every presidential race correctly. the brawl between jay-z and beyonce's sister raising eyebrows. we'll break it down for you. ♪ ♪ you, my friend are a master of diversification.

we all remember hillary clinton's response to the benghazi terrorist attack. remember? >> what difference at this point does it make? it is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again. >> benghazi may not be her only hurdle for a potential white house bid. could it be her health or just general fatigue with the president's policies? dr. larry sabato is the director of the center of politics at the university of virginia, joins us with a look inside his crystal of people are going to be saying we need a change after barak obama. what do you think? will that hurt hillary? >> here are hillary clinton's real challenges, brian. not benghazi, not monica lewinsky. it's the fact that president
obama, at least right now -- has low approval ratings. if those approval ratings continue to be low in 2016, she will be held accountable. people say, well, she ran against barak obama. she has a separate identity. john mccain ran against george w. bush in 2000. didn't help him in 2008. the second factor, brian, is that there is some good research in this field. just a party running for a third consecutive term actually subtracts a point or two from that party's popular vote total. >> why? >> americans are inclined to switch out parties at regular intervals because the truth is, they don't fully trust either one and they want to avoid corruption. >> yeah. bush 41 followed ronald reagan, but did not get a second term. look at this pew poll now. 65% of the country said they would like to see a president who offers different policies and programs from the current president. 30% want to see a president with similar programs and policies.
that's right now in 2014. how much do we care about being the election is in 2016? >> we shouldn't care overly. you're right. polls can change. but americans do get tired of the same direction. i always like to compare it to tv series. not talking about morning shows, of course. talking about comedies, sitcoms and cops and robbers shows. how long do they last? very few go eight seasons. most go two, three, four seasons and people are ready for a change. >> right. except for "cheers." i wish that could have gone on. i got to ask you, when karl rove brought up the health of hillary clinton, do you think that's out of bounds or is that up with tradition for a 68-year-old that did pass out in her last few months in office? >> here is something that most people don't know. hillary clinton, by the time of the election in 2016, is going to be exactly the same age, 69,
that ronald reagan was in 1980 when he was first running for his first elective term as president. so health questions are always legitimate. we never want to go back to the situation that we've had that i studied in 1960 when john f. kennedy had some very serious health problems that were covered up and even denied, lied about. i know of nothing that would prevent hillary clinton from being president. she seems very vigorous to me. but every presidential nominee should have to have a thorough examination and the results of that examination should be revealed to the public. we ought to require that for presidential detainees. >> it does make sense. the kids are graduated and you can take the rest of the summer off. thanks so much. >> this weekend, brian, is graduation. i'm not free yet. >> sorry. after that. straight ahead, veterans being cheated when it comes to student loans. they were charged more than anyone else. this morning we have a huge

4-point -- about five bucks from something he charged in april? >> no, i didn't. it was his last charge was april 15. >> you never got a notice that your son was delinquent, right? >> no, i didn't. >> okay. so he comes home and he tells you that not only was he short, he didn't get the lunch, and not only that, but the lunch person took the lunch out of his hand and threw it in the garbage, right? >> well, he actually called me from the school and told me they weren't allowing him to eat. i asked him what was going on. he said they wouldn't -- he tried paying the $2. they wouldn't accept it. so they took the lunch, threw it in the trash and that's when he called me. >> oh, man. here is what the school says. although we do not encourage the charging of school lunches, the union schools do allow charging many schools across the nation have very strict policies that say if a child does not have the money, they do not eat. we are proud to say we do not
have that policy. i can't imagine they're proud of what that lunch person did. i mean, they threw the lunch in the garbage and then your son went hungry. you're being calm right now. but you were really agitated the day this happened. what did you do first? >> first thing i did is i went to the school to talk to the lunch lady. i asked her, why wasn't he allowed to eat? she just basic -- well, he didn't have enough money. >> right. >> i was to the point i didn't even know what to say. >> sure. so you went back on friday and talked to one of the bosses at the school. what did they say? >> i went back on monday and talked to the vice principal. >> and you said? >> she told me -- i needed to understand that at the end of the year, they're stuck with the bill if parents don't charge, pay the charges. >> sure. and so you decided you were going to make good. fair and square, you did owe, although the school never let
you know ahead of time that you had an outstanding balance. so you wanted to make sure this did not happen to any of the other kids in the school. so what did you try to do? >> well, what i tried to do is give her $250 to not only pay the bill, but distribute the rest of it in the accounts of the 19 kids on the list. she told me they couldn't do that. >> sure. but they wouldn't take 250 bucks, would they? >> no. she took 60. she paid the $53 tab and put the rest on my son's account. >> well, now he can have lunch for the rest of the year. but the damage is done. i know he was humiliated. but you made it very clear that it was not appropriate, although the school doesn't feel like they did anything wrong, which is crazy. >> well, they said they followed within their guidelines. no disciplinary action will be taken. >> yeah, but he was 45 cents short. just give him the piece of pizza. >> i know. i don't understand throwing it
in the trash. >> exactly. >> it's not solving the problem. >> it's crazy. thank you very much. summer is coming. he's not going to have to stand in that lunch line much longer. he's not. bad memory. 29 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, rubio for president. the republican senator said he may still be in for 2016 no matter who else is running. that includes somebody else. jackie kennedy's deepest secrets revealed 14 years of personal letters now made public. the intimate details, including what the first lady feared most about marrying that man, jfk. ♪ ♪ for paul ridley there's no substitute for advil. it's built to be as fast as it is strong and fights pain at the site of inflammation. advil has the strength and speed to help you

>> to whom? that's the question. do they pay it -- first of all, let's get this out of the way. it's not jay-z's video. it's not beyonce's video. when you're in a public hallway, on a public street, when you're in a public elevator, you have no expectation of privacy. so it's not your video. you're basically consenting by being there that you could be videoed in today's day and age. >> known a hotel? >> in a public place, yes. this was in their room, in the bathroom or maybe even a phone booth, some expectation of privacy. >> does that mean they can't sue for this video? >> that is correct. >> but wherever they had access so to that video monitor, that would not be a public place. that could have been a private place. >> here is the real thing, who sold the video? or who got their hands on it? is it the hotel who probably owns the video. it's their video. >> what if it is? >> or is it an employee of the hotel who stole the video? if it was an employee who stole
the video, they may have some big problems. criminal problems and civil problems 'cause it's not their property. >> but if i'm tmz and i write the check to that shady person who did something that's a fireable offense and despicable, do i have to say who i bought it from? am i responsible to say -- >> you guys are the journalists. you're asking me that question? it depends if they say listen, this is our source. i don't think they would reveal. >> what if the people in the hotel, those individuals, be it jay-z or two other people involved in a domestic issue in an elevator, can that video that was wrongly sold, assuming that it was, be used to then prosecute one of them? >> yes. there would be an evidentiary hearing if it ever went that far about its add -- admissiblity.
jay-z could pick up the phone and press charges against her and she would be arrested for assault in the third degree, which it's a no brainer, which is a misdemeanor. all you have to do is cause harm and pain, substantial pain. so it looked like he got a little substantial pain in there. and on the civil side, if he wanted to be a jerk, he could sue her and for his injuries. >> and just for the record, it seems as though the story in the daily news today is solange was mad at him because he was going to rihanna's party after the big event. the undercurrent is he was supposed to help so dlange's career get on track. >> there is one more part. solange brought some of her friends to this party, the met party and they were using jay-z' name to try to get in and he had just found out about it. he said, don't you have your friends using my name to try to get into any parties. that was what started the whole

can, it's given me a little maturity and taught me a lot of things i can possibly use here on the football field. bottom line, obviously a lot of this is going off potential. i haven't been working out as a football player should have for the past couple months, just like everybody else has. but it's great opportunity and i'm very excited to see what happens. >> they've got to be excited to have you come there. this is something you've long wanted since you were 16. but you were playing offense. are you going to switch from defending our nation to defending on the football field in terms of preparation, i know june 17 starts the mini camp there. what does this mean for your transition from the battlefield, just coming back to citizenship? >> obviously right now, i can stop dwelling on this and start hitting the weight room. a lot of that stuff, obviously
the coach also have to decide where they want me weight wise and how to make this transition a little easier. it's a path that not a lot of players have done. i know there was a couple players who play in the nfl. but it's a little bit of a complicated process. so i'm trying to learn day by day and try to make adjustments as i go. >> you're a wide receiver, outstanding wide receiver in college and now looking to be a defensive lineman. you kind of stood out even with the fatigues. i imagine in afghanistan. but amongst these guys, these eagles, you won't. they have a bit of a history there of taking some risk. look at the size of you in that pick. what about the fact that they did a movie about a guy that was just walking on and made it and called "the invincible requesting," now you're coming in off the battlefield trying o make it with the eagles. what is the key for to you adjust to this level of play in a position that you haven't been at before? >> listen to the coaches
obviously and understanding what they want me to do. obvious will he they saw something to make that decision, to move me to defensive end. coaching staff here is unbelievable. i've been very pleased with everything they have to say and listen to their advice and work every day. it's a day by day sort of routine. i improve my technique. i go against the guys here and i try to get better and see where it goes from there. >> we can't wait to follow up with you. we thank you for your great service to this nation and we wish you well in that mini camp. >> thank you so much. >> he won't be like every other rookie. thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, his wife won't throw away any junk mail. she insists on opening it all. is this normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow will examine. >> first this day in history, 1973, sky lab, the united

good morning. it's wednesday, may 14. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. huge developments overnight that will impact the midterm election. we're going to tell you what happened in three big races, one of them will be a showdown for the ages. and just one minute it was staked to the ground. and the next minute it was 50 feet in the air. that is a bouncy house. >> kids are in there. >> three kids inside. so how can that happen? the company that makes the bounce house just spoke out. you'll see it live coming up. then should the health of a presidential hopeful be fair game? not if it's hillary clinton. why the left and some others on the right are hammering karl rove for something that all candidates we thought went
through. we'll examine. first let me tell you this, mornings are better with friends. float our pictures. >> it's time for "fox & friends" >> i cannot tell you how many -- that's a commercial on our air all the time. pinocchio would be a terrible -- what kind of speaker? motivational speaker. >> that's right. >> oh, boy. >> how many times have you been in -- a couple of times we've rented those bouncy houses for our kids' parties. those pictures right there, the first thing they do is pound it in the ground. how does that happen? >> they staked it down. >> i know! how does that happen? heather is off today. we've got ainsley earhart in with the breaking news and we do have some. >> yes, we do. let's give you that break news right now. we're going to start with a fox news alert. big developments overnight that
will affect the midterm elections. tea party favorite ben sass won the republican nomination for an open senate seat in nebraska. in west virginia, seven-term congresswoman shelly moore capito won the republican primary. secretary of state natalie tenet won the democratic nomination. whoever wins the general election will make history because west virginia has never elected a female senator. and former "american idol" runner up clay aiken won north carolina's democratic congressional primary. this just one day after his opponent, the former state commerce secretary, keith krisco died. aiken faces an uphill battle against the republican incumbent, renee ale meres. and one minute it was staked to the earth. the next swept off the ground. a gust of wind lifting that inflatable house with three children inside 50 feet high. a ten-year-old girl was able to escape with scrapes, but two boys that were trapped inside
ages five and six, are now in the hospital. one broke both of his arms after hitting the ground. the other suffered a head injury after falling onto a parked car. >> then he hit his head off the back of my car and then i heard him hit the ground and then i heard screaming. >> little tykes, the manufacturer, released this statement. we're looking into what happened. our thoughts and our prayers are with the children and with their families. we do have a happy update to tell you about to a story that we've been following here on fox. the 21-month-old boy with leukemia who desperately needed the life-saving drugs is finally getting those meds. the company is changing its mind now after first refusing to provide the child medicine to judson shepherd to treat his adeno virus. >> i was very emotional. it's been tough knowing that there is a drug out there and we couldn't get it at first.
it should be easy. i hope the next person doesn't have to wait as long as us in joshua's parents. >> you might remember the company from the case of another young boy, josh hardy. the drug was reapedly denied to him and eventually the company did reverse course after intense public scrutiny. the 9-11 memorial museum opens tomorrow. but we have this brand-new video just in to "fox & friends" of what it looks like. inside you'll see piece of history from that day, including a destroyed fire truck from ground zero and personal items, like a teddy bear. the museum also has more than 20,000 photographs and 500 hours of footage. those are your headlines. back to you. >> you walk into it, it takes you right back to that day. >> sure does. >> thank you. karl rove kicked off a political fire storm in the war of words with hillary clinton. he is getting slammed for suggesting clinton might have had brain damage after a fall
she suffered in 2012. but he says his words have been twisted by the press. >> elizabeth prann will break it down because that's not what he said. >> good morning. let's start from the beginning. new york post reported that republican strategist and fox news contributor karl rove made the suggestions at a private conference last week. not long after he clarified here on the channel. he says he never claimed clinton had brain damage, you about suggest details are not forth coming about her medical issues back in 2012 and early 2013. take a listen. >> she had a serious health episode. this was a serious deal. she's in and out of the office starting on the 7th of december after she returns. she returns on a friday from the czech republic, but then begins over a month long period where she's got a serious illness, ending up putting her in the hospital. we don't know what the doctors said about what does she have to be concerned about. >> hillary clinton's team has not hesitated when responding. one spokesperson said, quote,
they are scared of what she has achieved and what she has to offer. time for them to move on to their next desperate attack. white house spokesman jay carney even took a jab at rove during the briefing yesterday. listen. >> dr. rove might have been the last person in america on election night to recognize and acknowledge that the president won reelection, including the state of ohio. we'll leave it at that. >> he also said senator john mccain faced similar health questions when he ran in 2008 and is not an uncommon inquiry for high profile possible candidates. back to you guys. >> all right. elizabeth prann live in the gray dc bureau today, thank you. >> thank you. karl rove saying it will matter because it has mattered. as elizabeth prann noted, saying we need to take a step back to 2008 when president obama actually kind of took a shot at john mccain, saying he was losing his bearings because he was getting older, in fact. take a listen to this.
>> for him to toss out comments like that, i think it was an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. >> okay. so where is the press attacking then senator obama for suggesting that john mccain was off his rocker? there wasn't any because there is just a double standard when it comes to the left and the right and the mainstream media. >> is it amnesia or hypocrisy? >> i'm not sure. i will say this, karl rove was at an event. now the next thing you know, he's talking about it here, expanding on his comments. what he brought up was something barely reported. the secretary of state in the final days in office disappeared when she was supposed to be testifying. many people thought she's trying to get out of testifying. later they found out she fell, had a blood clot behind her ear, so there was a legitimate health situation here. so was it the fact that it was fatigue or was it after four years of rigorous tension and stress that she was in bad
health? she was worn out by the end. she didn't look like the same person competing for the nomination with barak obama. so i think that was an interesting point to bring up. and the fact that she's going to be that age, is going to be doing this again eight years later, i think health is a legitimate issue. i think when they talked about brain damage and something wrong with her, they're trying to corner karl rove into an explanation of saying you're out of bounds. i know nicole wallace who worked with president bush came out and said i thought that was out of bounds. i actually don't. especially after hearing karl rove explain himself yesterday. >> the biggest statement that was made about it at the time were the glasses she had on that people can use if they have traumatic brain injury, concussion. nothing was truly explained. the most explanation that we're look at them right here, the most explanation that anyone was given, as i recall, was a letter she actually wrote to barbara walters. she read it on air after barbara suffered a serious fall and she said you know how it goes, sort
of aligning their two situations, trying to be more casual about it. but there were not explanations. therefore, there were speculation about the spectacles and questioning going into an election is normal. >> so with all that speculation, it would be nice for us to all know what exactly did happen because when people had asked at the time, you got vague answers but nothing specific. bill clinton when he ran for president, he did not release his medical records. they released a summary of his health, but they didn't go deep enough for many into his personal health history. so don't look for hillary to do it either. the funny thing is as dr. larry sabato told brian about an hour ago, questions about a person's health is always legitimate when you're running for president. here he is. >> hillary clinton, by the time of the election in 2016, is going to be exactly the same age, 69, that ronald reagan was in 1980 when he was first
running for his first elected term as president. of course, health questions are always legitimate. every presidential nominee should have to have a thorough examination and the results of that examination should be revealed to the public. we ought to require that for presidential candidates. >> you like my input during the interview? got, which ha. it was on the cards. >> but it is an issue. people do need to know about the health of the person running for president. karl rove was really reminding hillary as well, look, you really want ten years of this? the road to the presidency is bumpy. two years running, eight years if you're reelected. do you really want that? that also is something that goes into the equation whether or not to run. >> speak of, is senator joe manchin giving up on politics?

after last night's primaries, west virginia is on its way to electing its first female senator. while they campaigned for a shot in the senate, joe manchin says he might be done with politics all together or just changing positions. he joins us now. senator joe manchin known for the man who gives straight
answers and doesn't really care what his party thinks. always great to see you. >> hey, brian. how are you? >> first off, the partisan divide, i know you've been on before ask radio and tv talking about how you want to get this xl pipeline done and you also want a fair shot at clean coal because it means a lot to people of west virginia. right now do you believe you have the votes to get the xl pipeline passed through the senate? >> i do. i believe that we can pass it. the bipartisan fashion, brian. that's the way it should be done. the other thing is when i say clean coal for west virginia, clean coal for america. we still depend on coal. we can do it better. we have done it better. cleaned up the atmosphere and the climate more than in the last two decades than ever before. we can do more if the government will work with us. they need what we have. we want to produce and provide what we have. the partisanship is another story. >> listen, in this issue, you have democrats -- i don't care what they think. if it's about the election, doesn't matter. you have democrats lined up to
get over 60 votes and make the president do this, to get it back to his desk saying this is the sense of the senate. but your majority leader won't do it. when you looked him in the eye and said harry reid, why don't you do it, what does he say? >> i've said harry, i came here to vote. i can take any tough vote. i can explain myself, i can look every west virginiaian in the eye and said this would help our country and state. i can do that. and i'm asking him to open that process up. there is other reasons behind the scene, maybe we don't know about. but him and mitch need to get together and work and move forward as leaders are supposed to do. we're hoping that will happen. >> you're a straight talking guy. when harry reid -- when you ask him why, what does he say? >> basically he says it's a moving target. he makes one deal and they change to another deal. i guess it would be mitch and the majority on the republican side. i'm not in those conversations, so i have to say okay, harry.
sit down and work through it. five bills, five amendments, they're all germane to the bill. that should be something we could vote on. i would hope that we could. let me just say this, i think the keystone pipeline is a very extremely important vote for our country and i think also portman and shaheen's bill is very important for energy importance. if we had to forsake and vote on those bills clean we should do that for the sake of this country. >> i would hope it would get done, but we've been waiting for this for four years now. >> i know. >> let's talk about what's happening with coal. are you like marco rubio very much saying to yourself, i'm not sure about global warming, weather has always been erratic and we should not give up on fossil fuels because maybe the environmentalists are putting pressure on us? >> let me just say this, i believe that 7 billion human beings on mother earth here have affected the environment and we're responsible for that.
with that being said, you got to find the balance. i'm not a denier. on the other hand, i asked my friends from really the far left if they will, are you a denier? are you denying that this country can continue to provide affordable reliable energy without using fossil or coal or any of that? it's going to take all of us working together. so deniers on both sides are wrong. you don't get anything accomplished by just pointing fingers and saying this person is wrong. we can go along. if we go through another polar vortex that we won't through this win and they take off the fossil fuel, reliability of 10,000 megawatts of power, we're going to have people that their life is in danger and many people will die. we shouldn't let that happen. reliability is the name of the game. reliability, affordability, what we can provide in this country to keep us competitive. it's going to take everything. i don't want to be relying on foreign oil anymore. we don't need to be. >> senator, when are you going to decide if you're going to stay in that chamber? you're out in 2016. people are talking about --
>> 2018. >> i'm sorry. i know it's been frustrating for a governor. might you run for governor again? might you run for president? >> brian, here is all i've said. basically i don't want my time here to be nonproductive. and it has been a nonproductive time for me. that's frustrating for me. but yet i'm seeing things differently. i'm prepared to do things, i'm prepared to work across. i will not go and campaign against a sitting colleague. i won't raise money against a sitting colleague, whether democrat or republican, whether they're my dearest friend or maybe not. i'm not going to do that 'cause i think it's disingenuine to look them in the face the next week and say, listen, will you work with me? how can you work with me if i was raising money against you and trying to beat you? i'm not going to do that. i'm putting myself in a position that i can work with anybody coming together. i have said this, i want my time to be productive. i have an awful lot of good, productive quality public service to give. i'm going to wait until the 2014
elections are over. i'll see the lay of the land in washington and west virginia and hopefully i'll see where i can be the most productive and where i can be, that's where i'll go. >> very much up in the air. >> very much. >> with the mine disaster on monday. >> it's horrific. i called both of the families last night. i don't know the details on it. we'll get to that. the safety of our miners is the foremost thing and we'll continue to do everything we can to make our mines as safe as possible. >> that's when you were kind enough to join us for the first time after that mine disaster when you were governor. senator joe manchin, thank you for joining us. >> still joe, that's the most important thing. >> that i know for sure. thanks. straight ahead, brand-new calls for a committee to investigate the scandals at the v.a. hospitals. but eric holder says no thanks? then it's not just a problem for the kennedy family. christopher kennedy battled alcoholism and addiction and he's winning. he has firsthand advice for every kid and every parent out there. he's here with his brand-new

even today. most kids begin this process early on, believe it or not. the issue becomes whether parents and society is paying attention. >> why? >> because at that age, between 13 and 18, you can really make a difference in a kid's life in terms of changing trajectory. >> in terms of statistics, one in four young people that use alcohol or drugs before the age of 18 technically becomes addicted. so when you think about right now the big conversation, legalization of marijuana, will that help or hurt addiction? >> i don't think legalization is a good idea. the two most damaging drugs on the planet to the individual and to society are both legal, nicotine and alcohol. so do we really need another legal drug? and big business is definitely going to take this over in terms of the money that's involved. it's huge amounts of money. >> most people when they're walking through adick and
running to or from drug, alcohol or nicotine, are doing it privately, but it affects everyone. 'cause it affects their whole family. it really affected everybody when you were arrested during a major election time. how did you get through that and what was your rock bottom? >> right. the -- people have to remember is this is a brain illness and also a genetic piece to this. i was 13 when i began this process. so i had the genetics. i also had what -- we know today that trauma, an adolescent who suffers any kind of trauma in their adolescence is much more susceptible to this illness and culturally it was an entirely different situation back then. we know much more today, we're paying attention and there is good science today. kids have a real opportunity to avoid this issue if it's picked up early. >> it can cost them their life. it almost cost you yours.
>> absolutely. >> your rock bottom moment as you describe it is? >> there is a lot of rock bottoms. what we try to do today is elevate the bottom. i hit bottom and bounced along that bottom for six years. addicts have an enormous capability to tolerate the intolerable. but today we're looking to elevate the bottom. we're telling people, you don't have to go there. you don't have to go to the bottom. there is ways out. >> how do you break the cycle and advice for the parents who right knew are looking at these statistics need it? >> i work with great team centers. these people -- treatment centers. they know how to talk to parents. it's important that parents pay attention and don't sweep it under the rug. know your genetic legacy. know where you come from. my kids know their genetic legacy. my kids, if they go down that road, they get talked to and there is boundaries that are set. this is what -- this is really
an issue that has to be dealt with in the home. >> sometimes it's dealt with with shame. how do you address that? >> the science addresses it. this is not a shame-based thing. this is not a moral issue. this is a brain illness. american society of addiction medicine calls this a brain illness. it's not a matter of bad choices or bad behavior. >> i would say the first step here that you discuss would be to check out this book for so many parents and people out there who literally have family members suffer from addiction. this will be a life -- >> what addicts know is this book will show people what addicts know and will help normal folks live an enhanced life. >> christopher kennedy law ford, we thank you for inc. bringing -- bringing us this great book. >> thank you, elisabeth. coming up, brand-new calls for a committee to investigate the scandal at v.a. hospitals. but eric holder says no thanks. is it political cover for another scandal? and it's an olympic sport. but the fencing team at one

this is kind of cool. new research suggests people who are more ambitious will live longer, while people who are less ambitious will live longer with their parents. >> late night with seth myers last night. i'm just shocked that the same background as the "tonight show" in the same city as the "tonight show." two guys who look the same. >> all those shows look exactly the same. >> i have to do a double take every time. >> you do. you may do a double take on this. we have been detailing over the last week or so what's going on with veterans affairs hospitals. first we discovered in phoenix 40 vets sounded like died on a secret waiting list because they never got the care. now it turns out it's all over the country. extraordinarily, now the department of justice has announced no, you know what? we're not going to investigate this, even though it could be criminal. we're going to go ahead and let the v.a. do it first. then if we need to get involved, we'll get involved. >> so you have jeff miller op
one side, wrote a letter to the president saying, hey, this is serious enough. we've got long delays, preventible deaths, botched care when it comes to our veterans. this deserves an independent commission to look into it. then you have eric holder who is saying no, we're just going to monitor it. it's on our radar. no need to jump in. i thought monitoring was for something that actually felt as though it was running smoothly, just in case something is going on. we now know something is going wrong here and our veterans have their lives at risk as they return home under this care system. >> this is the most political justice department that we can remember. having said that, there is nothing political about this. veterans are apolitical. they are wearing these veterans out hoping they would die to keep their percentages die and it continues to grow. every day we come in, there is another state with another problem. the attorney general walks away. so senator bernie sanders starts to speak about it and i'm wondering, what's this socialist who holds caucuses with the
democrats have to say and harry's assignment every day is bring up the koch brothers. >> there is right now as we speak a concerted effort to undermine the v.a. so the point is you have government entity itself, social security, enormously popular. medicare enormously popular. postal service popular. v.a. popular. what are the problems? the problem is that all of these are large governmental institutions and you have folks out there now. koch brothers and others, who want to radically change the nature of society and even make major cuts in all of these institutions, or maybe do away with them entirely. >> way to go, bernie. so he's been able to, in his mind, successfully connect the
koch brothers with what's going on at the v.a. that is one of the dumbest sound bites i've heard in a while. for him to say that they are undermining the v.a., that's wrong. we need to investigate the v.a. there are dozens of people who perhaps have died because the v.a. in the management was doing something that was not up to snuff and now for him to say that, that's just crazy. >> to put them in the victim seat. he's saying the v.a. is the victim, under attack by the koch brothers. go figure. >> he listed everything that's not working. medicare is buried in red ink, social security is buried in red ink. you have the post office, they invented red ink. and now he's pointing to them as institutions that might be popular. but none of them is effective. they all have to be streamlined and reformed. it's not a matter of getting rid of them. nothing is work! >> next time you see story about what's going ton at the v.a., remember, it's the koch brothers, according to senator sanders. >> right. >> let's turn to something that
works quite well, ainsley, she's here. >> thank you. filling in for heather. the pentagon approving a transfer for private bradley manning to get gender treatment. after going to prison convicted of leaking top military documents, manning changed his name to chelsea and requested hormone therapy. the treatment is not possible in a military prison, only in civilian prisons. and new this morning, american astronaut back on earth after a six-month stint on the international space station. but russia says that he might be the last one to go up, at least from america. they're cutting off america's access to the space station. vladimir putin firing back over ukraine sanctions, saying russia will not help the u.s. launch astronauts into space, this despite america paying them $60 million per launch. we just learned

welcome back. time for news by the numbers. $100 million. that's how much student lender sally mae will have to pay to settle claims they charged military members excessive loans. 60 million going straight to service members. 90. that's how many people arrested in a medicare fraud scheme. the suspects include 16 doctors accused of making $260 million worth of false billing. and two. that's how many paper applications obamacare contractors in st. louis are
tasked with processing per month. a whistle blower coming out to say employees are being paid to basically do nothing. that means zero. >> way to go. they just refresh their screen. tom styer pledged to raise $100 million for democratic candidates to push his anti-keystone pipeline climate change agenda. but where did stier make a lot of his money? fossil fuels. here to explain, charles payne is here. he made his money how? >> a large chunk of it from investing in things like coal. in fact, listen, his fund right now is worth about 19 billion. about 10% of that is still invested in energy. they won't say what exactly. don't necessarily have to. coal projects all around the world. indonesia. there has been this build up for coal demand. the tar sands out of canada. pipeline deals. it runs the gamut. so it's so amazing in this golden age of hypocrisy, this
guy climbs rapidly to the top. >> what's that message? just not here? it's okay everywhere else? >> that's an interesting message for all the democrats who is going to back them. maybe they'll tell their friends outside of this country, coal is not good enough for us, but okay for you guys. it's the worst form of hypocrisy because we've had a war on coal in this country that devastated thousands of american families. great paying jobs gone. it's decimated them. coal is the fastest growing form of energy in the world. right now, the fastest form of energy growing in the world. a couple weeks ago, ge wanted to take over a french company that grinds coal because there is never going to be a treaty upon coal. all the stuff we're trying to do to be great global neighbors by crushing people in these great jobs is a farce and it's nuts. >> and for all the lefties who are driving their electric cars, those electric cars are running
on electricity generated by coal. >> absolutely. again, for me it's all the jobs that have been lost. the companies that are going bankrupt. for what? and for this guy to talk about this, i guarantee you, if we could follow him for a 24-hour period between a private jet and the mansions, he probably has a global foot print that sucks up more energy in a day than the average person watching this show in a year. give us a break on this. >> seems so disingenuous, sort of crushing these jobs and then also taking a back seat to the rest of the world when it comes to innovation. >> yeah. listen, the environmentalists, i don't know how they did it. they pulled it off. they have the upper hand with respect to the white house right now. they get their way. listen, this guy wa his money, $100 million this way, he should give that to some of these veterans that we're talking about all day long. there is a lot of other things you can do with that. >> in reality, you have enough votes in the senate to pass the
keystone pipeline, this guy doesn't want to get it done, he has enough money. >> the energy revolution in this country has been a god send and it really is the only thing that's keeping us out of recession right now. >> all right. charles payne, king of payne from fox business, thanks a lot. >> thank you. he seems nice. >> he sure does. coming up, she turned around the failing school system in dc, so it may surprise to you learn michelle rhee supports the common core. she'll join us to defend that. first, we'll check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning. interesting discussion there with charles payne. leaving a lot of opportunity on the table. tea party comeback. we will analyze these election results. we'll see what they tell us in a moment here. breaking news, mining disaster. seems to get worse by the day on this story. and new information on the virus outbreak, what you need to know now. martha and i see you in ten minutes, top of the hour i make a lot of purchases for my business.

creators and supporters say it's an educational initiative designed to level the playing field for students all across the country. but not everybody likes common core. >> i feel like the common core is driving a wedge between parents and their children. >> we don't like common core. it's a federal power grab. it's an unconstitutional mandate from the federal government. >> so what does our next guest think about common core? former dc schools chancer, michelle rhee joins us from san francisco with her take on it. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> we've had a number of parents on who were puzzled by -- a couple weeks ago we had on an engineer father who said that he cooperate even help his son with a problem like this. this is an example of a common core math problem. it was jack used the number line
below to solve 427 minus 316. find his error. and write a letter to jack telling him what he did right and what he should do to fix the mistake. the father threw up his hands and said i can't figure it out. that's one of the common complaints is the math is so hard for the kids. >> look, i don't think that we should be complaining about having higher standards for kids. the bottom line is that the u.s. is falling behind. we are 17th, 21st and 26th in the globe in reading, science and math respectively. 26 out of 34 developed nations is not a place that we want to be if we want our kids to compete in the global economy. so are we going to have to raise our standards? absolutely. >> no doubt we need standards, but there are some who, for instance yesterday we had governor mike pence of indiana. they were the first state to opt out of common core. now i think there are over three dozen states that have said we just don't like the national
standards. we would prefer statewide or local standards. >> i think what people have to remember is this is not a set of national standards that was a federal mandate or anything like this. the common core was actually developed by governors coming together, local states coming together and saying, we want to do something differently. we need higher standards for our kids. and so it was really a locally-driven process. >> but one of the problems is the teachers are having trouble with it. in fact, here in new york state, the teachers union is now against common core. i believe it's illinois, they're against common core in the union as well. that's got a lot of people saying, if the teachers can't even do it, if the big unions are saying no, maybe we ought to start over. >> let's be clear that the vast majority of teachers actually support common core. in fact, by the unions' own admission, 75% of teachers are saying that the common core is a good thing. the reason why union leaders are trying to avoid this is because they don't want accountability
now that the common core is actually being tied to teacher performance, the upleaders are saying wait. we don't want any of this. we shouldn't have a situation where we are allowing the union leaders to shirk responsibility. we have to have them accountable for insuring their kids are getting a great education. >> sure. well put. all right. we do need to do that, but none the less, the common core debate continues. it's great to have your opinion, michelle rhee, thank you very much. >> thanks. more on "fox & friends," about two minutes away. ♪ ♪ ♪ (woman) this place has got really good chocolate shakes.

>> a little scared, but excited. >> actually we have a piece on her galore of the forest. >> does she bring the chain saw everywhere she goes? >> you will see her with it. it's scary. we have an incredible panel to talk about this. ukraine is voicing concern this morning one day after pro-russian militants defied a crest by vladimir putin. the anniversary today nazi germany's surrender to russia. they intend in crimea a victory lap. he was out in moscow's parade this morning. crimean flags were on display. final preps are underway in eastern ukraine for this weekend's vote on independence. despite putin's calls for dialogue between the countries,
there are still strong signs they have a long way to go. oversaw a series of exercises including rocket launches, military vehicles. pro-russian militants are continuing to take over buildings. hundreds of separatists took over government buildings after ukrainian soldiers fled. they're taking over tv stations. joe, it continues. >> it does continue. coky, roberts, obviously it continued irritant for the president of the united states and our allies that care in europe. so what does it mean for the president? what does it mean for this crisis if vladimir putin does take a victory lap and go to a victory parade in crimea? an area that russia basically just annexed. >> it's a continuing problem for the president. and the sense that there's just
total weakness here is pervasive now. that we're not doing anything that's making any difference. that putin is saying don't have this referendum, please. he knows perfectly well they're going to do it and they're going to vote to separate. it's going to be a continuing irritant unless the united states and nato really do get their act together. >> general hayden, i'm getting tired of people saying there's little the president can do. i think there's lots the president can do short of firing a shot. we could actually make our strategic alliance with the poles much tougher, much stronger, and actually send a stronger message by putting more american forces in a place where they want us to be. >> no, i think you're right, joe. we had an understanding with the russians we would not deploy in the new states of nato in
eastern europe, poland, and the baltic states. frankly what russia has done in crimea and the threat in ukraine, i think that agreement is null and void. we should just put nato forces where they should be to be responsive to current threats. we need to teach putin that actions have consequences. you're right. we put 150 paratroopers in each of the baltic states. i think the commitment that we're willing to get serious there would be an important message to putin. >> we took three divisions out of germany over the past five years. it wouldn't be bad for mr. putin to believe that we might put one of those divisions back in poland. and the defense, the missile defense system that we walked away from and insulted our polish allies, maybe we need to
talk about putting that back in there if we're told this is putin flexing his muscles to try to impress the russian people. the consequences of having a lot of american troops, a lot of nato troops in poland will actually undercut it and send a strong message that perhaps this wasn't the best play for him. that actions do have consequences. right now they have no consequences for putin. >> i think you're right, joe. there are things we can do in the whole russian reset. we did an awful lot of things to accommodate russian interest and russian concerns. my personal view, this is hard stuff. my personal view is we overachieved. we don't need to overachieve any longer. our friends in eastern europe wonder where we have gone. now we have an opportunity to go back. and joe, let me give you one other concrete recommendation. we don't have to send american troops to ukraine. lord knows we're not going to do that. what about advisers?
look. the ukrainians, the new government in kiev lacks the ability to govern, to mount military or even police activity. i don't think we should be reluctant to send people there who can revise them on how to handle the current situation. >> we'll touch back in on this. obviously a huge developing story. turning to some politics now. governor chris christie's problems in new jersey are more about budgets than bridges these days. as politico notes today, the republicans' latest challenge centers on the state's economic struggles. that was made clear on sunday with a giant front page headline in "the star-ledger." right now the garden state's unemployment is well above the national average. the real estate market is also in tough shape. the administration is facing a $1 billion budget gap. and the state's credit rating has been downgraded. the numbers threaten to undercut
the governor's national message of an economic miracle in new jersey. john heilemann, might this be the bigger story if he jumps into the fray? >> it's always been a big issue. that the economy in new jersey was not that strong and it would be hard to sell. it was the one thing people looked at beyond the personal issues, behind temperament issues. the one substantive thing people pointed to back then, it's going tor hard to sell a new jersey miracle. there are things they've gotten done over time, that's why governors have a good chance. but if you don't have a record like that, everything else has to be working. if you don't have the economy and your personal image is dented, it's a difficult sell. >> everyone is trying to figure where this is going to go.
>> that's one of the problems with being governor. you're there every day. and affects real people in a state. coky roberts. we remember the massachusetts miracle when he ran for president and it disassembled because of dukakis' campaign was flawed. it was not exactly what he was selling to the country. this, too, in new jersey it looks like. >> it's not miraculous. new jersey has had a lot of trouble recovering from hurricane sandy and that is legit. but chris christie, really, there's no there there. the only thing he's got going for him is he won a lot of voters that most republicans don't win in his re-election bid at a time he was riding high in
response to his response to the hurricane. and no hurricane, no economy, bridgegate, and republicans who don't like northeastern moderates in their view anyway. i don't see anything going for christie. >> donnie, branding chris christie, where is he now? >> his whole talk about getting them done. all of a sudden he's not getting it done. when you put that combination as far as john said with bridgegate and this, it's damaged. >> there's the obamacare issue for the midterms that can be a difficult subject for senate democrats locked in tight re-election battles. perhaps no one faces a tougher challenge than that of kay hagan of north carolina. these are the headlines this morning online. "huffington post," endangered dem comes out swinging at obamacare. and "the washington post,"
vulnerable dem offers a strong case for obamacare. yesterday during the hearing for kathleen sebelius, she offered her support of the affordable care act. >> last year our governor decided against expanding the state's medicaid program. and as a result, about 500,000 people who would have qualified for coverage through medicaid are now not able to do so. >> speaking of the charlotte news and observer, hagan goes further. in the interview she bites off republican interests by asking about the benefits. she explains i voted for it. i think there are common sense fixes that must be made to this bill. but i also talked to people in north carolina who have seen the difference it has made in their lives. joe, we talked about this and
whether or not democrats should equivocate or even push away anything to do with obamacare. she's doubling down. it was one of the things we thought they should do. >> no doubt about it. we've been saying it over the past month, been saying if you voted for obamacare you need to campaign on obamacare. because you're not going to be able to run away from it. donnie deutsche as i saw all the time in politics, nobody stops you if you're going 90 miles an hour forward. you do that plus hammer on the component we've been talking about here that democrats should use against republicans if they voted for the bill and they're stuck in this corner. talk about the medicaid expansion. a lot of americans don't understand why people in their state wouldn't support medicaid expansion that other states are getting. and it seems to me you look at the polling, this is one part of obamacare along with the pre-existing conditions issue, along with more portability, along with allowing your children to stay on until
they're 26 that actually do connect with individual voters. >> absolutely. you know, it's very interesting. all of a sudden republicans have shifted the megaphone from kill obamacare to benghazi. now they double down. exactly what she did. you have the proof this is working. and to me i don't think you can go at it strong enough. like i said, very quiet on the right. >> hey, donnie. don't you agree with me, donnie? you have to personalize it. if you can get jane johnson in raleigh, her younger son had been bumped off of insurance. he needed this treatment. he didn't have it. they'd been kicked off insurance rolls. but after president obama blah blah blah. and then you tell the story, show the personal story. then suddenly it's not about barack obama. it's not about nancy pelosi saying all the things she said
about the bill. it's not all the ugly way the lobbyist got their fingers in the pie. it's about this person in raleigh, north carolina, everybody can urns. suddenly you take it out of washington and bring it to north carolina. it's personalized. that may be more of a winning position. >> voters vote for me. and i'm also going to contrast it back to the benghazi thing which is not me. you may agree, disagree, it may infuriate you. this whether i can pay for my frosted flakes, these are the things that affect me. i think kay hagan is setting the playbook right. >> the fallout is growing in the scandal surrounding the department of veterans affairs. subpoenas have been handed to executives including secretary shinseki. so far shinseki has resisted called by top veterans groups to set aside the department's response has angered congress
and family members of the dead. sally says when her father went to the hospital for urgent care, the staff refused to treat him. and told him to see his primary va doctor instead. here's nbc's jim miklaszewski. >> reporter: sally lost her father-in-law to cancer last november. and she blames his death on the va hospital in phoenix. >> i'm sorry i'm shake, but they were dwik to dismiss my pop. >> reporter: she says when they went to the hospital for urgent care, the staff refused to treat him and told him to see his primary doctor. he waited months but died before he could get an appointment. >> all the people that are a part of this, they should be held accountable. because it's a crime. you know, delayed care is denied care. >> secretary shinseki will testify on capitol hill next week. joe? >> you know, general hayden, when people came up to me and asked me about my time in
congress, they talk about irs must have been horrible to deal with, you know, social security administration would be horrible to deal with. i said no, ironically, despite the fact i had more veterans in my distract than anybody else, i could call the irs and get things done. the va, they didn't care who i was, where i was from. it was the worst bureaucracy and it was always the slow roll. it was bad then. my god. the stories coming out now, absolutely horrific. why can't we take better care of the men and women who take care of us? >> joe, i know eric shinseki a bit. a good and honorable man. he's got to be appalled by the information that's now coming out. but with regard to the veterans administration, you're right. it's a paper-based bureaucracy. and what eric was trying to do was to move it into the digital age which is a good thing. but at the same time, he had this entire new generation of veterans coming out of iraq and
afghanistan that were swelling their rolls. look, if he were ever to turn to me for advice on this crisis, based on my time at cia, get the facts, get them quickly, and get them out. that would be my counsel to him right now. >> cokie roberts, this is -- >> that's awfully good advice for pretty much everything. >> exactly. everything. >> particularly anything that seems to be under investigation. get the facts, get them quickly, and get them out. and with any luck bury your opponents with them. but the va has a legitimate problem which is it's ununderfunded agency with so many veterans coming in. and still veterans from past wars very much to be supported. so we still have, thankfully, world war ii veterans around and their widows and children. and you go on from war after war
after that. korea, vietnam, iraq, afghanistan. and a lot of veterans in this country. obviously we have a huge debt to them. but we're not paying it as a country. it's not just the va not doing it. it's the u.s. that's not doing it. >> cokie, you have lived the largest part of your life in washington, d.c. your family is in washington. your father, your mom. you yourself. it strikes me is there is no other issue so fraught with hypocrisy than what is happening now with the va. it's been going on for decades. it's not just now. it's not just general shinseki and yet the members of congress stand up and applaud the troops, they have their bumper stickers, support the troops. and yet they do very little to straighten out the va in at least a three to four to five-decade long issue. >> it is. and one of the reasons for it, mike, you talk about the number of years i've been here. when i was growing up almost
every member of congress was a veteran. they came in after world war ii in two huge classes of '46 and '48 and they had tremendous understanding of what veterans' lives were like. now hardly anybody in congress has served in the military. and of course we've lost in the last year the world war ii vets are gone. and so it's a completely different attitude. and so as you say, a lot of lip service, but not a lot of cash. >> no, not at all. mika, just reading a tweet here from @jaycaruso and this is a peek into why we're scared of obamacare. there is a real fear when you have the federal government taking over health care and don't think for a second when people see this happening with our most important men and women who defended us, that they're not afraid it could happen to them.
it could happen to their family members. this va scandal exposes a decades of inefficiencies that need to be vixed up. i couldn't agree with the general more. >> there's no question the va needs to be cleaned up. general hayden, thank you much for being on at this early hour. still ahead, mitt romney joins us for an exclusive interview. at 8:00, katie couric is here with her latest on the food industry's secret. and how to find success. bishop t.d. jakes is here. ahead in this hour, first round of the nfl draft. all-time great deion sanders will be here in just a bit. and this weekend, joe and i are going to be participating in a special event with my mother emily brzezinski the sculptor. we will be talking about art and politics and balancing both in the white house years.

all right. let's take a look at the morning papers. "the miami herald." 243 people are in custody in venezuela after authorities raided protest camps overnight in the capital of caracas. cleared out four opposition camps. they confiscated drugs, weapons, and explosives. more than 40 people have died since anti-government protests began in february with calls for president nicolas madiero's resignation. >> "the new york times." south korea ferry ceo arrested. 273 people were killed in the accident. 31 still missing. >> apple is reportedly in talks to purchase beats clinics for $3.2 billion. the company is known for its
popular line of headphones, beats by dre. >> that's the doctor. dr. dre. >> this is the largest acquisition in apple's history. a deal could be announced as early as next week. >> that's interesting. "the seattle time" and snapchat. settling with ftc over concerns. that supposedly disappear in seconds. >> they don't, donnie. >> i know that. the ftc accused the company of misrepresenting its service stating that anything sent could be saved. >> snapchat ought to stop. you can take a picture of snapchat. you can take a picture of a snapchat and aif it forever. >> i do know that. >> then you can post it on facebook. >> you know what? once it's 8:00 at night, i step
away from my device. >> he says he doesn't drunk text. >> >> he means when he's hammered. >> this whole thing is for those with those over 40. >> with us now the chief white house correspondent mike allen is here with the playbook. the rnc is planning a big shakeup when it comes to presidential debates. >> first thing's first, happy friday. mother's day weekend. so this is going to be a huge change. there were 20 republican debates last time, and the party really felt they were out of control. the rnc chairman, reince priebus. when he says this time we're going to vom control over the moderators and the panelists, he says it's one of his biggest applause lines. he says people go wild.
they thought there were too many got ya questions. they're going to make this official today. they're going to make a change for the republican national committee to control the media partners for the debates and how many there are. we figure that means will be half as many debates this time. maybe 10 instead of 20. the way they'll enforce this, if there's any candidates that aren't part of the rnc system, they won't be able to participate in the official ones. so who will this help? this will help the establishment candidates, the people who are already well known. your equivalent to mitt romney. and it will help the broadcast na networks. it will hurt underdogs, your newt gingrich, your rick santorum. the ones who need the oxygen of 20 debates. and hurt the cable networks. >> mike, what do you think of the contrary point of view put
forward by in a store by ron clain that in fact the republicans would end up regretting this. because at lot of debates with unruly process helped mitt romney to rise above less electable candidates. and even though it's a pain in the butt, it helps elect the most stable candidate emerge many the pack. >> there's no question about that. and the thing is people paid attention to these debates. they want to add conservative commentators to the panels. politico is saying the consequence of this is to be easier questions. easier questions is going to be less coverage, less attention. the reason to have 20 debates, to have media partners is they were covered everywhere. it was great for the party. >> i think there's a real chance republicans will look at the end of this and go this is a really
good idea that didn't serve our process that well. >> mike allen, happy friday. thank you so much. >> and happy mother's day weekend, mika. >> thank you. still ahead, nothing can keep these apart. after a turn to the worst. >> how are they fighting over the desk? >> what are we doing with this table? let's put it over here. >> that's coming up in news you can't use. coming up, primetime comes to "morning joe." that's primetime right there. deion sanders. here to help break down the 2014 nfl draft class right here in the studio. we'll be right back. ♪ [male announcer] ortho crime files. gross misconduct... ...disturbing the pantry. a house, under siege. homeowner calls in the big guns. say helto home defense max.

with the draft happening across the streets, the sidewalks were packed with football fans. we sent our writer arthur to get opinions on the draft down there. the only thing was they had to dance the whole time. take a look. >> what is your team strategy going into the draft? >> so the packers always pick the best player available. so this year they'll probably pick defense. >> we need someone like, like
ebron if we want to trade up. >> i think really you should draft offensive line. and if that doesn't work -- >> i think this year they were comfortable with 12 picks. >> if they getted a skilled position player, maybe a quarterback. we haven't drafted one in the first round since like 1985. >> that's adorable. >> i said it. >> this is not the time to say that kind of stuff. >> no, it's not. but would you dance like that. >> not like that. >> i wouldn't dance like that. >> you don't watch games. definitely not. >> i'm sorry. that was pathetic. joining us on set, football hall of famer deion sanders. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> class act. walks in on the set and everyone starts to behave. joe? >> it's unbelievable. hey, deion. it's great to have you here. been a big fan for a long time. you know, there just aren't
enough players who come into a playoff game in a helicopter, baby. >> it was a necessity. >> i remember. that was a highlight. so we had jon gruden on yesterday talking about the possibility of manziel going second, third, fourth. that didn't happen. why down to 22? >> people are afraid of the total package, what he brings on the field as well as the baggage off the field. i don't think consider it baggage. i think manziel is a once in a lifetime player. he's electric and good. it's ironic two other plays that played with him we want in the first round consecutively. >> you know, deion, you were flamboyant, but everybody knew when you played for the braves you were the first one out, last one to leave. same thing with football. aurp hard worker. there's a question about this kid, a question about his character. not that he's done anything terrible, but he may not be the best teammate in the world, may not be a team player and work as hard as you did. >> i don't think that's an
accurate assessment of this kid. he is a winner. i think the people assessing him that way are insecure people. this kid is a tremendously confident player. and i love him. i love all his attributes and i think he makes everyone else better around him. >> it's a quarterback league, isn't it? >> yeah. >> if you don't have a franchise quarterback, you're in the middle forever. >> when you have a franchise quarterback, ironically you find yourselves in the playoffs. those not in the playoffs don't have a quarterback. the problem with johnny manziel, the reason people criticize because top quarterbacks don't have his personality. he's not a peyton manning. he's not a tom brady. he's much more exciting than that. >> not one run back in the first round. this is a very different nfl than i grew up with where if this is a league, literally not one running back. >> most high schools as well as colleges run in the spread offense. there's not a lot of emphasis on the running back.
you feel you can get that guy in the second or third round or catch him on sale in the free agency. >> deion, you were an awesome football play and baseball player. >> thank you. >> wait, wait. he was an amazing football player and pretty good baseball player. >> let's not get crazy. >> that's a great assessment, donny. >> i'd like to see you play as well as him. it always strikes me the baseball draft, you know it happens, it's important. but it's nothing like the show that the football one is. >> it's boring. >> why is that? why is football an event, an extravaganza, and baseball nothing? >> same reason why football game is an extravaganza and baseball game is an eye catcher. they play 162 of them. how can it be a commodity when it's 162 of them? >> but there's only one baseball
draft. there's no college baseball stars, we don't follow them like we do college football stars. is the nfl just better as marketing? they've turned this into a show that attracts a lot of attention for itself. >> the nfl is the flee sexiest initials in the world. when you say nfl, you've made a statement. >> i think about it now. major league baseball is associated with mike barnicle and god knows there's nothing sexy about had him. he's very cute. >> i think mike's very handsome. >> the difference between the two drafts is simple. the nfl owns tv. they own tv. baseball doesn't. baseball is a series of regional sports networks. it's a show. >> but ironically playerwise, baseball is the most attractive. they pay players the most. it's the most lucrative and it's guaranteed money. >> yeah. >> ultimate metaphor for the draft was there's a red carpet.
i mean, that says it a all. >> so this week we've been talking about one athlete who recognized his mother on the stage. and we had wanda pratt on yesterday. we saw an incredible show of emotion from kevin durant in that moment. you had a similar one when you were inducted into the hall of fame. let's take a look. >> there's something inside, momma, that i never told you, that i never could admit. and i'm going to share it with all of you because now we're family. i played for a team called the ft. myers rebels. everybody on that team their family was the chief of police or doctors. me and one of my friends was the only african-american kids that was on that team. and it was a very affluent team and i was ashamed. of my momma. because my momma worked in the
hospital. she cleaned up the hospital. she pushed a cart. and i was ashamed. >> that's hard to watch. that's hard to watch. because it was so true. and you never know what's behind a man and what pushes a man to progress through life, through all the challenges. my whole career people never knew that i was working and playing for my momma. that was it. >> and it's a message that really can resonate with a lot of young people today who want to be just like you. do you take it with you? >> well, the thing about it, your drive has to be bigger than you. if it's all about you, there's something wrong with your dream. your dream has to be bigger than you because we have the propensity to quit on ourselves under severe pressure. it has to be something out there that's bigger than you that keeps you driven. >> i want to know what else drives you and i believe it is a school.
that you've started. a charm school. >> i have a charm school. and i'm an advocate for american federation of school children as well as school choice. i truly believe you should have your choice in what school you deserve to go to. it would be like choosing the beauty salons in your area. or only buy suits that's in your area. but that's what we have when we're talking about schools. and often times in the inner city, schools are failing. we should have the opportunity to choose which school to go to as parents. >> it's really wonderful to have you on right before mother's day after talking about that. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> appreciate your being on the show this morning. >> thank you. >> everybody, deion sanders. deion will be with us this afternoon on mojoe for more on the work he's doing all the

women of the world summit, tina brown. >> hi, mika. >> you have a doozy today in the daily beast. touching on a conversation we had earlier this week. i'm going to go right into it. monica lewinsky by tina brown. monica lewinsky is right about the lack of empathy shown by the feminist lobby who joined the hyena pack casting judgment on her youthful conduct. other women can often be the worst at cutting any lack towards the love interest in a sex scandal. but she is short of empathy towards the woman whose husband she was romping with. she uses the word troubling as hillary said she blamed herself somewhat for bill's straying. now everyone is leaking and tweeting and posting on everyone else is the acknowledged way to get ahead in the 21st century. the digital age has no idea what has been lost to the freedom of
intimacy that has no fear of being recorded. monica's new musings just remind us of how the death of privacy started. and it really did start with that. it exploded across the world. >> it did. the things that shocked us at the time, the absolute violations of privacy, the wholesale dissemination of embarrassing sexual revelations, the no holds barred cast who just leaked and just put it all out there, that's what we live with every day now. as i looked at the horrific cast of the time. all of these grotesques is the truth. we have another one every day whether it's v. stiviano or sidney leathers. these are now the extreme of garbage that flows through our heads. >> having said that, there's two players in this scandal.
both have had very different futures after the moment that this broke. cokie roberts, what do you make of all this? >> well, obviously she's coming back into the news wanting to have some sort of limelight again. and i don't -- she says she wants her life back, but i don't think this is exactly the way to do it. you know, you wonder how much of this is aimed at hillary clinton. and what that's all about. i mean, with any luck it's out of the way. >> cokie, you don't buy that she sort of in a way was touching on what tina's talking about, the end of privacy and how many people including the young man who was caught on a web cam in his college dorm and it spread all over the campus and he ended up committing suicide and she remembered what it felt like to be the butt of a national joke. and that her mother stood by her for weeks and weeks and weeks worried about her equilibrium
because of what she was going through. that doesn't at all be a way why she wants to speak out? >> if you want your privacy, why do you go to "vanity fair" magazine? if you want privacy, you're private. this is the opposite. >> the problem with that cokie is this happened 18 years ago. bill clinton has become more revered by the day and monica lewinsky has been basically the butt of jokes. she's been a punch line her entire life has been reduced to this miserable existence. if she stays in an apartment in l.a. and doesn't say anything, doesn't come back out and try to define, sort of retake control of her name, of her reputation, then this is how she dies 40 years from now, as a joke. as a punch line. i just -- when she was being attacked by these so-called
feminists not only during the scandal but over the past week or two, i just sat there wondering how she stayed quiet as long as she did. >> well, look. i think the vilifying of her was horrendous. and the truth is she was a kid in the white house and regardless of any consensual sex and all of the stuff she's talking about, her boss who was a much more powerful person than anybody but certainly than she took advantage of her in a way that was something that in any workplace in america would get somebody fired. so i think that all of the vilification of her was awful. but i also do think that coming back out into the public is just asking to rehash the whole thing again. and that doesn't get you anywhere. >> i'm not sure what other choice she has. really quick. >> the problem is there's no hiding place now. your reputation.

♪ welcome back to "morning joe." it is nice to see you all at the top of the hour. a nice shot of the white house on this beautiful morning. joe, i think it's fair to say we have a very special guest this hour. kind of an exclusive going on here. >> a very special guest. of course we're talking about governor mitt romney, former governor of massachusetts. and of course in 2012 he was a republican nominee for president. still, governor romney, we showed a picture of mika holding up a mitt sign, mitt 2012. and i'm still trying to figure out what went wrong. well, actually, maybe that's what went wrong. but how are you doing? what are you doing in washington, d.c.? and how's the family? >> the family is great.
we're doing well. and i'm in d.c. part for politics and part for media. i'm back in business trying to do our best to help our economy. >> good. how's our economy doing? >> you know, it just continues to bump along. i saw a statistic that came out of brookings last week which was for the first time in history, more businesses closed their door last year than actually opened doors. and that's a very frightening thing. we're an entrepreneurial nation. growth is all dependent on innovation and entrepreneurship. entrepreneurs decided this a bad time to open a business. and that's a problem. >> jeff knows a thing or two about business and economies. jeff likes to say if the economy's growing at 4%, everything's going to take care of itself. and we can have all the debates we want to have, but the economy will be fine. if we're only growing, stumbling
along at 2%, 2.5%, there's nothing we can do. there's nothing we can cut. there's no government program we can enact that's going to make a big difference in the life of americans. how do we get that 4% growth every year? >> well, what causes growth is innovation. innovation drives higher wages for our workers. productivity is all driven by what happens in the innovation room, if you will. and unfortunately, over the last several years, we made it less and less attractive for people to innovate to begin brand new businesses, to open doors. and our growth has been slow. you ask yourself has anything been done in the last five years that's made it more likely for an entrepreneur to want to start a business? and the answer is no. when the person who leads papa john's pizza said if he was starting today, he wouldn't open doors because of the tax and
burdens placed upon starting a new business. >> governor, i want to look at some of the issues of the day here. democrats, of course, discussing whether or not to participate in another investigation in benghazi. i have no problem with questions being asked and i believe there are some. but i'd like to ask you if you could go on the record because some of your republican counterparts seem uncomfortable with answering the question as to whether or not republicans should be making money, should be fund raising for their political campaigns off the benghazi investigation and disaster in itself. do you think it's wrong to be fund raising off that issue? >> i think what the republicans have every right to say and is appropriate to say is is that if republicans were were not in the congress, there would not be an investigation into benghazi. and i think there are questions that have to be answered that have not yet been answered. the white house has apparently withheld information so congress is going to look into it. there would not be an
investigation of benghazi. there would not be an investigation into the irs. were there not a republican house. and so to say, look, elect republicans so we can have these kind of investigations is appropriate. >> governor romney, it's john heilemann here. i'm going to stick with foreign policy for a second. there's a story a couple days ago of boko haram, the militant group responsible for abducting 200 girls in nigeria. secretary clinton branded that an act of terror this week. the story in the daily beast pointed out when she was secretary of state, she had refused to label that group officially a terrorist organization even though the fbi, justice department, cia wanted to have it happen. i want to ask you a two-part question about that. first to address that specific story. and secondly to ask you a broader question whether you think secretary clinton's time as secretary of state would be an asset or liability for her if she runs for president. >> first of all, we'd like to
hear whether she believes the failure to label boko haram as a terrorist organization was a mistake on her agency's part or it was not and what's the logic for not identifying this group as a terrorist organization. she hasn't done so yet. i think people would like to hear her answer to that. with regards to her career as secretary of state, i think that's going to be an enormous liability for her. because this is, after all, the -- if you will, the essence of her leadership capacity and the four years she served as secretary of state were not good years for the united states of america abroad. she worked hard and she shook a lot of hands and people said, boy, she's been on the airplane a lot. that's a good thing. but if you look around the world, whether in asia, latin-america, the middle east, north africa, this was not a good time for america. as a matter of fact, it's hard to think of a nation that over the past four, five, six years thinks more of america, respects america more today than when the president and secretary clinton
took office. so i think her record there is a very substantial liability for her campaign in 2016. and i think it's going to raise a lot of questions about her capacity to actually accomplish things of significance. particularly on foreign soil. >> governor, i'm not going to ask you to mess up your hair, but i am asking to put an a consultant's cap here. your party seems to have an issue with the changing demographics of this country. and given the changing demographics of this country and your ambitions or past ambitions for the white house, how do you cope with the changing demographics of the country when you have an increasingly conservative bend with regard to issues like immigration, marriage equality, and minimum wage? >> well, different members of my party have different views on those different issues. and for instance as you know a company with many of the
conservatives in my party on the issue of minimum wage. i think we ought to raise it. quite frankly our party is all about more jobs and better pay. and i think communicating that is important to us. i also believe the key for our party is to be able to convince the people who were in the working population particularly in the hispanic community that our party will help them get better jobs and wages. that's what our party's beliefs do. the democratic party has shown that over the past five years of their leadership, income inequality has become worse. and the policies over the past five years have not worked for hispanic families or african-american families. minority families have been the most hard hit during these past five years. so we've got to make sure people hear our message. >> we want to go from domestic policy to foreign policy. i want to put you in a time machine and take you back 19 or 20 months. take a look at this clip. >> governor romney, i'm glad that you recognize that al qaeda is a threat.
because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest threat facing america you said russia. not al qaeda. you said russia. and the 1980s are calling for their policy back. the cold war's been over for 20 years. but governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the policies of the 1980s just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s. >> and governor romney, here we are almost 20 months later, vladimir putin about to take a victory lap in crimea. questions on whether he's going to continue pushing westward toward kiev. 150,000 dead in syria in large part because of vladimir putin. the refugee crisis across the middle east as spilling out from syria in large part because vladimir putin continues to hold that regime up. iran moves closer and closer to a nuclear weapon in large part
because of vladimir putin. it all leads to one question 20 months after the president mocked you. is the world less stable today because president obama miscalculated on putin and russ russia? >> no question on that. >> how does that make you feel looking at that clip seeing that you actually have been proven correct by history and yet you were mocked and ridiculed by the president of the united states on what many say is the biggest issue overseas. >> i don't look back to the debates. i instead look at what's happening in the country and what we need to do to make sure that our interests are promoted around the world. what we've seen over the past five years has been retreat of our interest globally. fewer and fewer nations respect us and bow, if you will, to the
demands of their people. and there's no question that vladimir putin and russia in particular are our geopolitical adversary. doesn't mean they're our enemy and i never called them our threat. the greatest threat is a nuclear iran. but i did say they were a geopolitical foe. and frankly you've seen russia consistently over the past several years line up with the world's worst actors. whether it's with assad or kim jong-un or around the world. this is a nation intent on pushing back against the united states in the interest of freedom. >> governor romney, what is your concern if this continues indefinitely with putin's behavior toward ukraine and the oppression there. and what do you suggest happens right now that you think isn't happening? >> well, the key to leadership is identifying the tomb when you can take action that will make a
difference. and the key with ukraine, for instance, was to identify at the time there was the revolution in the streets and people jumping up and down with demonstrating in various ways to recognize that russia might take an interest in crimea. that was the time for the president of the united states to make sure we and our friends around the world communicated to russia the sanctions that would follow in response. and the president didn't do that. he sat and watched. in syria, for instance, we don't have good options right now because the president sat and watched at the very beginning of the most critical time in syria. you have to take action when action has the potential to really change events. and the president has not done so. and leading from behind, sitting back and observing affairs in the world is not a way for america's foreign policy interests to be carried out. >> governor, i'm coming back to 2016 because i am who i am.
>> obsessive-compulsive. >> correct. your party right now is in an unusual situation in the sense there is no clear front runner for your party's nomination. usually you know by this point in the cycle, the party knows who the front runner is and usually becomes the nominee. i'll ask you to be sure and ask about it here, is there -- are you ready to say for sure that you will not get into the race in 2016 and that we don't have that to look forward to at least as a possibility. >> i'm not running for president in 2016. i'm going to be supporting someone who represents the practical conservatives that i think we need. you know some of my favorites. paul ryan, of course. i love paul. we were a great team together. but chris christie and jeb bush and rob portman. the list is long. scott walker. there are a lot of fellows and hopefully some women as well that are looking at this race and we'll get a chance to see someone new. i think our best prospects of
getting back the white house are with someone who has not run twice before as i have. so i'm going to be a supporting our nominee and looking forward to seeing the race come to fruition. >> i bet your wife feels good about that. >> that's right. >> what women are you looking at in the republican party you think could stand out? >> well, susana martinez, governor of new mexico, obviously has great potential and leadership. and i'm sure there are many that we could think of, mika. i'm not going to go through a full list here. but you've seen a number of women take on increasingly responsible positions in the republican party. frankly our party has women, has minority leaders that i think ought to be looking at the national stage. >> so let's move on and get back to the economy. i want to talk about keystone. yesterday we had the ambassador of the united states from canada to come on. and it sounded like he was reading off republican talking
points when he talked about 44,000 new jobs that would be created. talking about how it was more environmentally safe to have a pipeline than have this oil shipped in other ways. and then at the end, he held up a document and said all he was doing was quoting a state department report talking about why the keystone pipeline made so much sense. how important is it for us to go ahead and move forward with the keystone pipeline? and why is the president of the united states having such a hard time doing that despite what his own administration reports are showing? >> well, the president is, of course, playing to the base. the extreme wing of the democratic party. there are some, if you will, aggressive environmentalists who were not tied into what's right for the environment or the country in my view. but instead what's right for their fund raising efforts. they're jumping up and down.
they'd like to see oil not being used as an energy source in this country. frankly that's not realistic. and as a result the president is doing their bidding. i think it's an enormous mistake. it's a small item compared to the overall economy issues. but frankly it typifies the fact that the president plays politics as opposed to what's doing right for the economy and the american job market certainly having additional energy in this country and holding down energy prices is good for the consumers of america. for people of all classes and it's good for job creators. this is a no brainer. but the president's not willing to do it. because of those extreme groups that are raising money off of stopping the pipeline. >> okay. mitt romney, thank you so much for being on with us this morning. what are your plans for mother's day? >> well, you know, i always get lilacs for my wife on mother's day. i find some place in the
neighborhood where i can cut some lilacs. so i'm going to be looking or going to the grocery store and finding some. >> boy, your neighbors must love you. it's mother's day again, romney's in the back yard. call the cops. >> i just found three things in this interview we have in common. number one, we're both in business with marriott. we're in business together. you must be excited about that. more jobs, better pay. minimum wage. and like you, my father goes into the neighbor's house and cuts down their trees to make his view better in maine. so perfect. thank you very much. >> thanks, mika, joe. >> great to have you on the show. >> thank you so much, governor. really appreciate it. >> good to be with you. it's being billed as the movie food industry doesn't want you to see. how sugar is ruining the lives of an entire generation of children. katie couric is here with her
latest project. up next, senator pat toomey, chuck todd, david gregory and howard dean. and this weekend joe and i will be in a special event with my mom emily brzezinski to discuss art, politics, and balancing both in the white house years. that's saturday in connecticut. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. ♪ to truck guys, the truck is everything. and when you put them in charge of making an unbeatable truck... ... good things happen. this is the ram 1500. the 2014 motor trend truck of the year
and first ever back-to-back champion. guts. glory. ram.
i don't want to ever hear about that again, barnicle. joining us now, senator pat toomey. and in washington chief white house correspondent and political director and host of "daily rundown," chuck todd. and the moderator of "meet the press," david gregory. and here on set, former governor of vermont and former chairman of the democratic national committee, howard dean. and joe, thank god you are on location. because, well, he could flip the table. >> oh, i know. >> we could be a table flipping round table. >> it's happened before, mika. i suspect it's going to happen again. let's go to pat toomey.
senator, we just had mitt romney on. and the governor and former republican candidate for president said he supported raising the minimum wage because republicans are about good jobs and good wages. this past week rick santorum's come on, former pennsylvania senator, he supports raising the minimum wage. former minnesota governor tim pawlenty also supports raising the minimum wage. where do you stand on those issues? >> i disagree with those folks. agree with a large majority of republicans. joe, i think you understand. we want higher wages. we want better jobs, but we also want more jobs. if the government comes along and issues a fiat and picks an arbitrary number and says you have to pay at least that amount, there's some people at the low end of the skill spectrum, maybe it's a teenager that needs the first opportunity. they won't get the job. this isn't just my theory.
the cbo said if we went ahead with the democrat proposed increase, the best estimate is we'd lose half a million jobs in that. >> david gregory? >> senator, i guess a follow-up to that, understanding that you and others may think, look, let's improve our jobs picture before we take a look at the minimum wage. what about the argument that for a lot of the working poor who want to work, who want to provide for their families they're simply not able to make it. if you have real challenges with regard to transportation or for housing that you certainly can't make it on a wage at this particular time. as a conservative do you worry that lower income workers are then draining the resources of government even further because they're frankly not earning what a lot of people would call a livable wage? >> there's no question, david.
we have many very extensive programs to help people cope when their income is, you know, at low levels. and if their income were higher, then they'd spend less in these areas. i don't think they get there by issuing an edict from washington. you just price people out of the workforce. that's much worse for those people and for the federal budget. i think the way you do it is you have a vibrant economy that is demanding ever more workers and putting upward pressure on raises. that's the answer. >> chuck todd, i think it's interesting that we have seen governor romney, rick santorum, also tim pau pawlenty and other republicans starting to come out in support of the minimum wage raise. do you think we may end up at $59 an hour minimum wage increase? >> you and i talked about this all week. i've been surprised that isn't there. i find it intriguing that the three most prominent republicans
supporting the raise of the minimum wage are three guys who sent a lot of time on the campaign trail, thee guys having to campaign in blue states and purple states on that front. senator toomey, let me ask you this. it doesn't sound like you're for a minimum wage, a national mandated minimum wage. would you -- if there hasn't been one -- i mean, where are you on this? >> the question before us is do we increase from the current level? obviously if you don't increase the minimum wage over long periods of time since we generally have inflation and not deflation, then it becomes irrelevant and it's not something that matters. >> we haven't increased it in years. longest period without an increase. >> that's right. and if we do, we're going to put some people out of work. so i guess the question is who are we to make the decision that we're going to give a raise to some people at the expense of destroying the jobs of other people? i don't think that's a good call for government to make. i think instead we ought to be
creating more demand for workers, more jobs. and as i said before the upward pressure on wages. >> so you would get rid of the minimum wage? you wouldn't have -- >> that's an irrelevant discussion. the question before us is do we raise the minimum wage and i think that would do harm. so i'm not going to support that. >> senator toomey, on another issue, we had governor mitt romney on last block and he very carefully and articulately made the case for fund raising off of the benghazi issue. and he said if republicans had questions about this and they want to get elected so they can continue to raise issues, then it is okay. do you think it is okay to raise money off the benghazi probe and the questions surrounding what happened there? >> i don't know, mika. my fund raising, i don't make any reference to benghazi in that. i think we've got to be really careful that that doesn't get politicized. i think the response of the administration was a political response. and that's a real problem.
we still haven't gotten to the bottom of what's happened. that's why i think the house's action this week is constructive. i'd be very careful myself, in fact, not sure it's a good idea to fund raise on the basis of those mistakes of the administration. >> okay. >> and of course trey gowdy agrees with you and he came out forcefully and said it yesterday. he was undercut by the nrcc. i suspect that probably is not going to happen again. let me ask you again about obviously keystone is a critical issue right now. the debate continues to rage. we had canada's ambassador of the united states yesterday talking about all the jobs we'd create in the united states. i want to bring it closer to home though. because you can look at what's happened in pennsylvania over the past several years and look what's not happened in new york state over the last couple years because andrew cuomo refuses to allow innovation in energy in new york state. people aren't getting jobs because of it.
talk about how fracking in pennsylvania makes a difference to working class people there. >> you're absolutely right. there's a fascinating map that's come out by the census bureau and it shows every county in america that's had an increase in median wages every single county fits into one of two counties. it's either washington, d.c. or an energy-producing county. in pennsylvania, natural gas is changing our economy. it's the direct benefits in the areas and they're localized, but those areas in which the drilling is occurring. but it's the availability of incredibly affordable, low cost, clean natural gas. i've been at ground-breaking ceremonies with manufacturers that are bringing work back from china to pennsylvania in part because the advantage we have with low cost natural gas is just transformative. quite frankly, it's working for
us in pennsylvania. >> howard dean, i want to talk to you about this energy issue on a larger scale. democrats obviously have to be very careful. they certainly are concerned about the environment. their base more concerned about the environment than, let's say, the middle of america if you just look at polls. how did democrats balance this moving forward where they want to be part of the energy revolution, they want to help the working class. may be helped like some people in pennsylvania. but also they have to worry about the environment. it seems like actually a pretty fine line they have to tread. >> one of the fastest growing energy installers is solar. i've got an interesting question for senator toomey. you don't want washington interfering in setting a minimum wage, but the republicans in washington don't seem to have any problem giving tax breaks to -- which is our money -- tax breaks to oil companies, tax breaks to wall street. how do you rationalize government intervention to help the largest corporations in the
country and the world at our expense but you won't let people making $8.25 to support their family with a little raise in the minimum wage? >> i'm not sure there's anybody in washington that's been more outspoken than i've been about having a tax code that stops picking winners and losers. we've got a tax code that's a total disaster. some of the worst and most egregious offenses are in the area you just mentioned. huge subsidies for solar energy, wind energy. you wouldn't have windmills if it weren't for taxpayer subsidies. in committee i sit on the finance committee over the tax code, i offered an amendment to wipe out those subsidies. it's not good for our economy. i don't support it. >> governor dean, i was watching you during the intense questioning of senator toomey. i felt badly for you because your head seemed to about explode. but you sat there quietly. >> i did. >> you referenced the tax code and minimum wage.
the pipeline has been discussed. i would like to ask you about financing, potentially financing one of what i think is the greatest issues confronting this country. the rebuilding of america. we just had a rainstorm last week and roads collapsed. >> this is actually something senator toomey and i may have agreement on. i think most of the infrastructure in this country will be -- there are ways to do this. you can build railroads with public financing if you use real estate to do it. i think you've got to be a lot more imaginative. there are ideas on the left and right that could migrate towards the center. if the sponsors would be willing to give on a few things. >> senator toomey, jump in here. can you agree with him on anything here? >> we might find some agreement here. i've got to be careful. >> i promise not to endorse you, senator. >> thank you, thank you.
i would just add one thing. with road construction in particular, it's one example that seems obvious to me. when we create new capacity, it needs to be told. why would you build a new road and not put a toll on it? this is a user fee, a toll is. if it's new capacity that didn't exist before, give people a choice. if they want to ride on that, let them pay a small amount to cover the construction. the technology makes it easier than ever. i think there are ways to be innovative and get the funding we need. >> i want to bring up our political experts now. if we could get john heilemann and chuck todd and david gregory up on the screen. i want to ask them a question. i think it was absolutely fascinating the interview with mitt romney. john heilemann, what i heard mitt romney say in response to your question is not what i've been hearing in new hampshire, not what i've been hearing in south carolina, not what i've
been hearing across america. there are people that believe mitt romney is going to run in 2016. i would have to say one of the top republican strategists over the past 20 years told me yesterday he thinks romney's in. what are you hearing, john? >> well, i think the likelihood mitt romney will run is very, very low. although i joked the ann romney thing with him, i don't think she has the stomach for it. there's no doubt there's a group of supporters of mitt romney who are talking it up in a lot of places. because there's such a vacuum right now in terms of there not really being a front runner in the party that usually has one by now, that talk gets more traction than it would ordinarily. chuck, let me follow on from that. let me ask you a question about the same issue. governor romney mentioned a bunch of names of people he liked. and in order i think he mentioned jeb bush -- paul ryan, chris christie, jeb bush, and
rob portman. none of those four people -- all four of those people may not run for president. what does it say about the state of the republican party that the last nominee's top four picks are all people who night not get into the race. >> that is exactly the point i was going to make, john. i assume romney's not going to do this. everything you hear about his family and from what i've understood in talking to people indicates what you indicate. there's just not the -- he just doesn't have the family support to do this again. but you look at who he mentioned and walker's the only guy he mentioned that may end up running in this list. the other four you could easily picture scenarios where none of the other four end up running. portman is someone who hasn't been making many moves at all. i think it's interesting he inserted him into the list. don't forget mitt romney's description of what he's looking for. right? the practical conservative. an interesting adjective to put in front of conservative there.
i have a feeling that romney is going to be this shadow, sort of the way gore and hillary hovered over the '04 field for awhile. romney may hover over that field for awhile particularly if there isn't a big establishment name sucking up all the oxygen early that you will have these constant rumors. the same way christie sort of hovered over the field for awhile when romney struggled. >> if jeb bush isn't in the race and chris christie isn't in the race, i'm hearing people talk about the fact that romney may be a lot closer. what are you hearing? >> i agree he has the prospect to hover over the race. by staying relevant, by staying critical of the administration. beyond his personal walls he has
the ability to raise money. he's got the name recognition. i think the biggest reason against it is not just his family but he's proven to be flawed as a candidate. not once but twice. i don't think you reinvent yourself politically in a way the party rallies around you or the country rallies around you. i think that's a big problem. i also think the party right now is still hanging back. there are some of these key figures, jeb bush principle among them not feeling any need to commit too early to jumping into the fray with all of that entails. so i think there's a number of figures who want to see how things play out. then they're going to -- then they'll move up. but there's no question about this k this, joe. and you've talked about it a lot. there's a certain amount of waiting for superman, waiting for jeb bush. does he have the stomach for it? that practical conservative idea, the one who can bring it together, right now it feels like jeb bush is the one wearing that hat. people worry whether he really wants it. >> all right. our thanks to senator pat
toomey. thanks for being on the show this morning. chuck todd, we'll watch you on "the daily rundown" -- >> by the way, breaking news here. i think howard dean is planning to go to pennsylvania to endorse pat toomey. >> come on. come to philadelphia, howard. let's do it. >> just tried to flip the table, but it's nailed into the ground. so we're good. >> team toomey 2016. >> chuck, we'll see you at 9:00 a.m. david gregory, howard dean, thank you so much. donny, thanks to you, too, i guess. an exclusive coming up. how swing voters feel about their jobs, families, and the changing american dream. ♪ we're moving our company to new york state. the numbers are impressive. over 400,000 new private sector jobs... making new york state number two in the nation in new private sector job creation...

excitement, vibrancy of our downtown. and cincinnati is on the beginning of a huge wave. and it's really the place p&g, may scy macy's, kroger. if you have the chance to bring your product in investing during the great recession. >> one of the things i find interesting about you is your background. that you go to harvard law school. but harvard divinity school. how do you apply a graduate from harvard divinity school to the day-to-day work of being the mayor of a major city. >> i wanted to ask for forgiveness in advance is my joke. >> that's a good one. 99% of all jokes are true.
>> i certainly believe to whom much is given, much is expected. certainly my faith plays a role in my effort to reduce poverty in the city. while the city is growing bigtime, we have disparities between black and white and white and hispanic. we need to make a difference there. that's been a focus of my administration. >> what sent you to -- what within you sent you to divinity school. >> you know, i blame the jesuits. >> real quick, what'd you think of the bengals pick last night? >> i'm excited. i really am. >> this is a political show, right? don't we talk about politics on this show? >> really quick. >> you've got a governors race coming up. just like the overall national -- >> that's not real quick. >> who wins this race against john kasich? >> the police and firefighters
are still upset about kasich's efforts to undo their collective bargaining. in addition, he cut local government fund which hurt dramatically. the income tax was originally promised for local government, but he cut the local government money but didn't lower the income tax. so we're still paying the tax. so we're still paying the same money to columbus but we're not getting the return. >> the cutest thing i've ever seen, your wife is still taking pictures. sheep has not stopped. >> she's the cutest thing ever. >> you're now on television. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> adorable wife. >> coming up, emily brzezinski can wield an ax and a chain saw like no other mother. that's my mother. don't mess with her. how my mom balanced being an artist and mother of three, a white house wife all at the same time. her story and her incredible body of work coming up in our 8:00 hour. you're watching "morning joe."

welcome back to "morning joe." it's the top of the hour. 8:00 eastern time. joining us on set, host of the daytime talk show "katie" and also, i am not done, boys. >> you never are, are you? >> i know. you getting tired of me, donnie? >> i love katie. i'm so glad she's here. >> try and focus.
she's the producer of a new documentary "fed up." we were talking about it at thrive. you had a great panel on it. first a look at some of the big headlines today. ukraine is bracing for more potential violence today as russia marks a national holiday celebrating victory in world war ii. meanwhile, vladimir putin is visiting the contested region of crimea, a day after overseeing massive military exercises. secretary eric shinseki will testify on capitol hill about the growing issues of veterans affairs. and mitt mutt addressed republican attempts to raise money off the attacks of benghazi. >> i think what the republicans have every right to say is if
republicans were not in the congress, if republicans did not have a majority in the congress, there would not be an investigation into benghazi, and i think there are questions that have to be answered that have not yet been answered. the white house has apparently withheld certain information and so congress is going to look into it, as i think they should. there would not be an investigation into benghazi, there would not be an investigation into the i.r.s. were there not an elect house. to say elect republicans so we can have these kind of investigations is appropriate. >> he's the first republican i've seen say it makes sense. >> and yet trey gowdy has said it's not a good idea to fund raise off of benghazi off of the death of four americans. >> just take a position. >> i suspect you'll see more deference given to trey gowdy
than anybody else. he's going to make sure there isn't a question of impropriety. it's going to be absolutely critical that it doesn't look like there's even a whiff of partisanship. >> well, i'm just fed up, actually -- >> you seem fed up, mika. you're angry. >> i'm angry. the movie, katie couric, we're talking about called "fed up," i take it there was even a controversy over the letters at one point. lori and i were talking online. apparently they were doing advertising and everybody has been jumping and seizing about "fu." >> oh, the posters, yeah. i think that was a very savvy advertising ploy. >> it was. >> anything we can do to get
people talk about this movie and talking about this issue is fine with us. because i think it's related to the obesity epidemic, how it started, how we got here and all the different factors that have intersected to make statistics like this is the first generation of children expected to live shorter life spans than their parents. 1980, zero cases of type two diabetes, 20105, 58,000 cases. in two decades, 95% of americans will be overweight or obese. it's clearly such a critical issue that we have take action and take action pretty soon. >> what you're trying to do with the help of laurie david is look at the diet that our children are eating.
it becomes the way they're eating for the rest of their lives because these substances are addictive. >> they've shown sugar is incredibly addictive. the fact that there are 600,000 products in the grocery store, 80% of them have added sugar and often times we don't even know it, simple things like spaghetti sauce. what happens when you extract the fact it takes, like robert lester said, card board. so they started pumping in the sugar. the safe threshold of sugar is 6 to 9 teaspoons a day and the average american tax in 22 a
day. >> and these products advertised to children have less scrutiny than to adults. >> that's true. advertising and online advertising of junk food to kids increased by 60%. they're inundated. they did a study and showed kids exposed to junk food ads in the course of watching television were given a bowl of goldfish crackers. the ones who watched the food commercials ate 45% more goldfish. all these things are working against us to trigger neuropathways in our brains to make us crave certain foods and it's adding up to this horrible epidemic. >> what do you do about the fact that the cults aadults are doin shopping? >> well, think, mike, they're
trying to do the right thing. all these mixed messages they're getting, my profound hope is that families and adults will be armed with the right information they need so they can make educated choices when they're shopping at the grocery store. i used to get low fat everything. yeah. of course i'm going to get low-fat mayonaiss. but all these things are pumped with so much sugar and ingredients we can't even pronounce. >> the federal government subsidizes the corn industry. all that stuff gets pumped into the food. michelle obama has done a lot of great stuff on eating better and let's move and all that stuff, but the policies haven't changed. we still prop up the corn
industry. don't we have to get to the root of this and stop subsidizing the industry that makes us sick? >> i think we take a close look at the usda. i think they have a real conflict of interest. they're charged with promoting agriculture. we talk about the advent of skim milk and all this fat is taken away from the milk and the dairy farmers are like what do we do with all this fat? and everybody says cheese, let's make more cheese. remember that commercial ♪ cheese, glorious cheese and they were starting to get people to eat more cheese. which is more fat and more calories. so they're promoting agriculture and also establishing dietary guidelines. so they're telling people to eat less cheese but we'll spend more money telling you to eat more
cheese. >> the number of kids, especially at bus stops and in cities eating ring dings at the bus stop. the number of children that go without breakfast that are at the bus stops in the morning. >> there's also real food. we had dr. oz on the show. he says why are you drinking skim milk? your fi your milk needs to be healthy milk. >> i used to put tons of sauce on my pasta. i'm like why do you like this sauce so much? my husband is like sugar.
you're eating sugar. >> the point of this is to know what you're eating and then you'll be able to make better choices for yourself and your family. and understand the role of the government has been complacent if not complicit with the food industry. we're talking about huge money with these food lobbies. every time they try to do something on capitol hill, then all the money from the food lobby comes in and voila, minds are changed all of a sudden. i think we have to get smart and get real about food. >> so you talked to bill clinton about food for the movie? >> yes. >> let's look. >> do you think the government is behind when it comes to helping americans reduce the sugar intake? >> yes, i do. >> why aren't they doing more? >> i can't answer that, particularly since corn has been
turned into fructose and used for a sweetener, which i don't think is a good use for corn. i think america is still insufficiently alert about the damage we are doing to our long-term health due to sugar intake. >> hand he would know. >> he's become a veganvegan. >> he's probably more healthy than he's ever been but after doing damage to his body. >> he's done incredible work, really trying to focus on getting junk feood out of schools. 50% of school districts in the country by 2012 were serving fast food. i talked to a lovely woman
working saying we offer healthy options but out of 300 kids, 25 of them choose healthy food. it affects them academically, it affects their quality of life, if they're destined to a life of obesity and disease. >> and so many schools now have no physical education. >> right, that's true. we do dismantle this mantra of ex exercise, calories in, calories out. we can't exercise out of the epidemic. >> a medium bag of french fries, you have to swim for an hour and 12 minutes. >> a 20 ounce soda would mean
cycling for 20 minutes. >> and i'll go a step further but there is no place for some of these foods at all. they're addictive, the smell of them. you're going to get the 350 kids eating the french fries because they are drawn to them because of the substances in them that are addictive. >> they smell so good. >> you just got to start with the parents. >> and you don't need soda. >> it's interesting. my kids have never seen a juice box and they don't want a juice box. >> they're called convenience food for a reason. and i guess, you know, we all think -- we have to realign our priorities, right? some things are worth taking a little extra time to do. there's also the socioeconomic component. we couldn't deal with everything in a 90-minute documentary.
but i feel like, you know, we all have to make a commitment to say we're going to spend a little more time or a little more thought or focus a little more because we have to do it. it's part of the responsibility of being a parent. >> we're going to die, die younger every generation if we don't. the government and food industry needs to be more honest and make what's healthy. "fed up" is in theaters today. go see it. katie couric, great work once again as always. >> thank you, mika. >> coming up, t.j. jakes, coming um on how to unleash your inborn drive. and later we'll look at the career of a remarkable woman. yes, that woman, emily brzezinski, my mother and her chain saw. how she thrived as a white house wife and raising three children. she's really good with the chain saw. >> now we get it! >> that was literally coming out
of my mouth, i get it now. >> does it make sense now? ? i i'm stuttering right now. how she balanced her life as an artist and being a white house wife. >> how are your chain saw skills? >> she says there's no good chain saw that is blunt. >> verbal chain saw. >> exactly. >> what's the weather? >> let's talk about this wet forecast that continues. areas in new york city, as expected, as soon as it rains the airport delays, laguardia an hour and a half, 30 minutes in philadelphia. that should improve over the next couple hours. also, expect delays in the chicago area. light rain continuing over the region. further to the south the rain goes all the way down into areas
of luouisiana. bottom line is we're kind of in a summertime weather pattern now, getting the daily storms. st. louis, little rock, memphis, dallas to houston. i don't think tornadoes will be a problem. how does the weekend forecast shape up? as i mentioned today, numerous downpours out there, a few severe. into saturday, i don't think too many people will get their day washed out but even up the eastern seaboard to new england. finally, your mother's day forecast, apologies to the colorado and denver area, you have a snowstorm coming on sunday. can you believe it, snow in the middle of may. sorry, mom. in dnc.c. it looks like this, kd of foggy this morning. you're watching "morning joe."

♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ my instincts are calling me to what is organic and natural for me, but my experiences have not prepared me for the opportunity that stands in front of me and so i stand here caught in betwixt and between two opinions. something in me is telling me to go ahead and something in me is telling me to stay back, something in me telling me can i do it, something in me says i better be careful and something in me says break out in the wild and figure it out as you go,
something about me says if you break out of the cage, you're going to die, this is all you know, this is where you came from, this is all you know and i'm stuck between tonight and abuse. >> oh, yeah. that's good. here with us now for our faith on fridays, found are and senior pastor of the potter house, t.d. jakes, the author of "instinct." you write "our instincts are the treasure map for our soul's satisfaction. following our instincts can make the crucial distinction between what we are good at and what we are good for, the fulfillment of our purposeful potential. that about says it all. sometimes we get those things mixed up, don't we? >> we do. we become so engrossed in what we're doing, we forget who we are. we haven't organically produced
who we are authentically from the center being of your core. >> but don't we get it mixed up also in the day-to-day actions of our lives and what we're doing, to make money, to attain material satisfaction. you get caught up in the moment to moment. how do you separate that? >> so many of us are fliensed by what we need to do, we've never gotten what we're designed to do. reacting, mothers, fathers, sons, i need you to be there, jobs, i need you to be there. the most successful people are those who focus and finalize who they are and do what they were created to do and let everyone else adjust to that. >> so instinct. we think about what instinct is, what our gut tell us to do. you think about that as the opposite of rationality. you think is through and analyze it.
do you think that dichotomy exists or is there someplace where instinct and rationality come together? >> after a lot of research, i've come to the conclusion that intelligence loads the gun and instinct pulls the trigger. we want to couple them together. we want the information, the data, the validation of our past temperature are education. ultimately if you are true to your core and instinctive, if you flow in that and invest in that and harness that. fi for instance, with children, we need to put them in an environment of who they are instinctively. >> what do you do with children when growing up that your instinct is somehow thwarted by danger.
for instance, deion sanders was in here earlier. i asked him how old he was, what age he was when he first got used to the sound of gunshots. he said he was 8 years of age. his instinct was to stay away from the people he knew sold drugs or what not and yet there was a danger in staying away from them because they want you, they want to co opt you. what do you tell younger people how to combat those two things. you follow your instinct but there's going to be danger here but you got to learn how to get around it? >> the whole center of my book was centered around the safari that i went on in south africa and what you're talking about is surviving in a jungle. when you look at deion sanders, he used to tell me a story about how he used to run because he was afraid of the cemetery and when he got to the cemetery, he would start running and that's
where his career began. instinctively he was a runner before we even knew who he was. and that same degree of athleticism has brought him before us to recognition. so many people are trying to produce in life what they are not organically and intrinsically endowed with. we're imitators, we're spectators, we're copies. but when you do what is intensely within you, you're profitable. one of the things we must teach our children is to be honest at your core to be who you are, not necessarily to seek the money but seek fulfillment. if you seek fulfilfulfillment, will be successful in life. >> i have two teen-age daughters. it's very hard. i don't deny struggling teaching my daughters everything they
need to know and finding their own way sometimes. i want to ask about yours. she became a mother at a very young age. >> absolutely. >> and sheep has her own book now. she's had certain detours in life. she doing well today. >> absolutely. i don't know how i handled it, i survived it. what you implanted in the early years, it disappears in the teen-age years. >> it does, it does. >> but because it is in there, it comes back to them. i thought, oh, my god, is this ever going to happen? i thought i can't take it anymore. a lot of parents are feeling that way, too. trust what you put in them. even though they deviate from it, they come back to it. >> i need to hear that.
can you say that again? it will come back? >> i've raised five children, they're all grown, my wife and i survived, we're all happy. the bible says something funny, raise up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. didn't say anything about the middle. trust their instincts, put values in them and watch them. we as parents want to control everything. observe. >> they call me a control freak. they do. >> what did you say, accurate? >> your children are good journalists. >> the book is "good instincts, the power to unleash your inner drive." >> thank you.

joining us now, editor and chief of "parade," maggie murphy. it's their mothers issue of course. and they're revealing a new poll here exclusively on "morning
joe," mother knows best. tell us about the poll. >> the poll is walmart mom's research project. republican and democrats. taking the swing voter that john will know well and trying to figure out walmart mom, children under the age of 18 at home and basically shopped at walmart once a month, what are they thinking, how are they doing. right now they're saying 58% still feeling the effects of the recession. >> and they are the ones who spend the money. 35% say not having enough money, making sure their kids get what they need is the top stressor as a parent. and 58% say they're living on the financial edge or making it but worried what the next day will bring. that's our country. >> and here's the thing. the poll itself is a thousand women. we interviewed over 35, we
focused on six in the issue. terrific women, great spirit, great can-do attitude but they are still in the midst of this. they have this country on their backs. >> something a mother is supposed to be is optimistic and they are, for the most part. you have 60% feel somewhat very optimistic about their family's personal economy. 65% feel they are likely to achieve the american dream. >> i like that number. that's in direct contradiction to the last poll we had where 63% believed the country was on the wrong track. and 65% of the moms polled feel they're very likely to achieve the american dream. >> i think they're personally optimistic because when you're down this low, there's nowhere to go but up. that's their sort of bedrock
foundation. >> you hear their stories but these numbers and questions are good. moms with close-knit families. >> go ahead, read it. go in order. >> 19% live with grown children, 22 live with parents, inlaws or another relative, 78% eat dinner together with their kids most nights. >> 38% consider themselves to be better moms than their on mothers. >> i'm in the remaining. >> do you think that's a high number or a low number? >> i think that's -- that was an interesting number. i really -- i don't know. i think a lot of them feel their moms made some mistakes and they're trying to correct those mistakes and i think there may be some tension. but 80% think it's harder to me a mom today than it was then. >> i think that's a really convoluted issue. i think mothers and daughters
and their relationships are so dynamic and intermixed with different, strong feelings. >> don't leave out the sons there, mika. >> it's very hard to judge yourself. >> and women are hard on themselves. >> but we're hard on our mothers. >> we're hard on our mothers. i think the interesting this evening about the entire group, in some ways to mika's points, they understand their value in their family and they understand their need to keep a sun is shining view, even if the world around them is basically giving them every message the other way. >> yeah, you're going to make it. >> you have to do that. >> okay, regrets. >> that's my favorite. >> 33% wish they chose a different spouse. 49% wish they listened more to their parents and 61% -- i think women should listen to this one -- wish they had gotten a higher education degree. >> i'd be interested to know the
first question, if thwished the chosen a different spouse, i wonder if you add the word "occasionally." >> and amy burke talks about having not made some great decisions but she's moving forward and she's going back to school and she's really amazing and she's going to need to learn how to ask for a raise. >> we put a blurb, the know your value conference on may 16th. we're going to have such a great group there, gayle king is the keynote. someone is going to win 10 grand right then and there. >> but not you and i. >> not i. >> the mother's day issue of "parade" is out.

♪ >> emily brzezinski was certainly not like any of the other moms i knew, not even close. >> do you remember us being very embarrassed by you? >> all the time you were embarrassed by me. i think it's very difficult for children to grow up with an artist mother. they really did -- for instance, mark really wanted me in high heels, otherwise i'm not a mother. >> how do you differentiate between playing the role of a wife and a mother and an artist and is there a difference or a priority when it comes to the identity of you as a person? >> well, for me i do what's in front of me, what is most important. i prioritize and usually everything works out just fine. >> really? really? did we ever compete with your
desire to do your art? >> no. >> really? >> somehow things don't get into each other's way. >> what about dad? >> that's a different problem. >> that problem was managing the role of a white house wife since my father sfrd as national security visor under president carter. while he didn't always make it easy, he knew he had married an artist, who had then become an artist and mother and she would never leave who are trees behind. >> she always had other things to do. she persisted and she's been very creative. >> he helps, too. for me he's the common man. i ask him what is coming across in this vision? he tells me.
sometimes i don't like it but i appreciate it. >> my mom may be her toughest critic. >> i can't say i'm proud of my work. i like some of it mother than the others. i like this lazarus. for me this is an appealing figure. >> she's so passionate about her work she spends most of her time across that kitchen from her home in mclean, virginia into that studio for 40 years. >> i was working in large size and it was too awkward for me to work on these big pieces. >> what drives you to work in that studio? >> first of all what drives me is an idea, a dream. and i just love to be in the studio. i law the sawdust and the smells that come from the wood.
it's something which is really very pleasurable. this is a very instinctive process. i don't think too much when i'm cutting. i just go at it. and whatever shape presents itself, i just do what is needed. not much rational thought goes into it. it's exhilarating. yes. actually, when i get going on the work and the work is going well, i do get exhilarated and i enjoy it and it leaves me feeling i guess the word would be a little high. >> while she may consider herself a wife and a mother, it is the artist that brings her to life. >> all the lines and all the striations and the deep cuts were done at the last minute in a very kind of emotional effort. i'm very happy with this sculpture. >> her newest piece entitled
"lament" debuted at the huffington conference. >> it's a very powerful statement. >> i think you like standing under the arches and it frames you. >> that's my ego. >> my mother's sculptures line the landscapes of cities around the world. >> i have to tell you that all my life -- i can't say in the beginning i got this. i can't say when she was like climbing trees on my school property i fully understood the scope of this, but as i've become a wife and a mother myself and i saw how she defied, quite frankly, she defied gravity to bible to find her way
to thrive, i can't be more impressed with any other person on the face of this earth than my mother, emily brzezinski. >> thank you. >> with what are you trying to do to me? my mother's book "the lure of the forest" is out this month and it's beautiful. it's absolutely stunning. this weekend my mother will be involved in a -- an event discussing art and politics. we'll have more information on those events as they get closer. again "the lure of the forest" and alice and skutro, thank you so much. the week in review. we'll be right back.

report," fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes "on the record" right now. tomorrow the israeli ambassador to the u.s. right here on "special report." this is a fox news alert. multiple capitol hill sources confirming that the vote tomorrow to allow john boehner to sue president obama. republicans accusing president obama of abusing his executive power with unilateral decision to delay the obamacare employer mandate. while the planned lawsuit is limited to the president's action on obama care. republican is outraged about the threats using pen and phone to bypass congress to take action on his own. only hours away from the vote. house republicans getting ready to take action. karl rove joins us. good evening, karl. >> good evening. karl, is this something you would advise the house republicans to vote for?
yes this is not the end all be all. constitutional way to try to get clarity on what many feel is improper use of executive power. president obama has unilaterally decided not to impose the so-called employer mandate contained in the affordable care act nor to have the tax that goes along with it i have read the affordable care act. there is no language the president has the latitude to employer mandate and when that tax begins to be collected. yet the president has. why? because he doesn't want it to fall -- it would be enforced now and cause people to lose their coverage and create a great deal of consternation he wants that to happen after the election and not before the election. that's not a good enough reason for the president to violate a law, take a part of the law that was passed by the house and passed by
the senate and that he signed into law and say i'm not going to enforce that law. there is no such privilege to a president under the constitution. the lawsuit as we understand is narrowly written as to obama care. there has been a complaint from the republicans that this is not the president's only time where he has been rather expansive with executive orders, likewise other presidents have done executive orders your boss as well and presidents for decades have. >> right. well, look, this is an executive action that doesn't even take place -- he didn't even issue an executive order. he had the treasury department say they were using authority under the internal revenue service code that gave them authority to help with the transition to changes in rules. they are using that as the authority that they are using not to impose the employer mandate in the affordable care act there is a con stand tension between the executive branch and
legislative branch. in this instance the legislative branch is arguing in the house lawsuit that powers as the legislative body in section 1 article 1 of the constitution. so-called vestment section that those powers to be the legislative body are being valted by the president when he takes a law and blatantly ignores it and implementation of that law enforcement the supreme court has held this year that the president has overstepped its bounds did. so when they claimed that he got to decide when congress was out of session and he could make recess appointments on a 9-odecision they slapped him back. my suspicion is that this is going to be a very seriously heard and very seriously considered case. so clear that the president has taken a unilateral action that is not contemplated in the law. >> let me ask you about the impeachment that we have heard that's been discussed a a little bit by some in the past week turns out it looks like it's a great fundraiser for the
democratic party. >> you have to take your hat off to the cynic in chief who sits in the oval office of the white house. the president of the united states is cynically suggesting a constitutional crisis in order to fatten the bank accounts of democratic fundraising groups and in order to try and energize democratic turnout for the fall elections. the speaker of the house has said we will not -- we will not consider or take up this issue. there is no serious republican leader who stepped forward and said here is the bill of particulars that justifies his extreme action. yet, the president of the united states sends out his press secretary last week to stir the waters and suggest this is real. how cynic kel, how pa theted thick, this man is playing with the american people by suggesting a constitutional crisis where none exists. shame on him and the people in the administration who participate with him. shame on conservatives and republicans who help him along. the president wants nothing more than congressman yoho of florida to step forward
and say we must do it. he wants nothing more than republican and conservative leaders to step forward and say we agree. we ought to try and impeach him. that's what the president's. just like he wanted people to step forward on the birther issue because he knew it undermind the credibility of republicans and conservatives and served his, president obama's purposes. >> karl, as always, thank you, sir. >> thank you, greta. this is a fox news alert. it is escalating. israel bombarding gaza with air strikes hitting hamas control including a power plant and siren wailing across israel as hamas launches response. and with more rocket attacks. fox news correspondent conor powell live in gaza city with the latest. conor? >> well, greta, israeli officials have warned in recent days that they were going to escalate. this comes after failed truce negotiations over the weekend. we have seen both the pace and intensity of israeli air strikes and artillery increase in recent days.
we are hearing many more planes flying overhead and we have seen them target some new spots across gaza, including hamas house owned by senior leader and also this power plant that was hit yesterday as well. what we have seen really across all of gaza is an intensive campaign by the israeli military. now the military is also working on the -- there are a lot of cross border tunnels. the israeli military says they have destroyed about 60% of them. they think they will finish up the ones they have discovered in the next three days or so. the real big question though is what happens next? hamas is announcing today that they will not back down until the blockade is lifted around gaza, that they will not stop fighting. israeli officials have even said that this is the chance, this is the chance to push the fight to essentially go after hamas to finish them once and for all. but in order to do that, israel is going to have to expand its military operation here in gaza from the areas they already control. that raises the possibility
of even more blood shed, a much longer protracted violence conflict here it really does cause problems for both sides, but most of all for the civilians here already more than 1100 civilians have been killed. most of those, greta, women and children. the danger here, of course, is that we're going to see extended violence here. we are already into week four which, for israeli, hamas conflict is very very long. >> conor, thank you. >> and today president obama refusing a chance to defend his secretary of state as secretary john kerry cease-fire talks crumble. >> what do you think about israel's attempt to discredit secretary kerry? >> you can answer that one. did secretary kerry mess this up? and joining us political panel national journal ron fournier, nina easton and "the weekly standard's" john mccormick. ron, the president didn't want to answer that question about secretary kerry. secretary kerry getting hammered in the "the
washington post" op-ed page today. >> that was a damned if you do, damned if you don't question. if the president did defend kerry, he would be undermining our ally israel and he didn't speak up so, therefore, sending kerry out to drive. agree with ignatius dlawm they want to bring the president into it. rushed him into it. can you understand why they want to bring end to this violence. way embolden the hamas and turkey and qatar. it hasn't made the situation any better it might have made it worse. >> nina, it seems like an impossible situation. the president secretary of state have been trying to do this forever. what seems to be profoundly different here and criticism is that secretary kerry by the manner in which he has gone forward, he has now given much more status to hamas. >> yeah, of course though what you don't want to do if you are a top american diplomat, top american officials is to suggest that there is a moral equivalency between israel, which is is a democracy and our ally in
the middle east. and hamas, which is a terrorist group, which uses women and children as human shields for an armaments that they are building up and tunnel system they are building up, specifically to attack israel. so what you don't want to do is go down that path. that's what john kerry did. unfortunately, this past weekend, when he turned to hamas supporters, qatar and turkey, and asked for their input on a cease-fire agreement, and, thereby, pretty much turning his back or was perceived as turning his back on our allies like jordan, like saudi arabia and egypt, which is actually a hamas, you know, enemy and is trying to broker a deal that would disharm hamas. that's where he got in trouble this weekend. he has been derided in the israeli press as everything from inept to betraying israel. so they are already in a very difficult situation when it comes to israel. i'm not surprised the president didn't answer that question today. >> john, can he back out of
this problem? this is an impossible situation dealing with this. but now, unfortunately, this hamas empowerment by giving him more recognition, is there a way to back out of this? >> i don't think can he undo the damage that he has done. i don't think the president has given any indication that he necessarily opposed what john kerry did. this administration has always put ending wars as something more important than winning wars. that's what happened in iraq where they cared more about getting all the troops out rather than securing the gains that were made. preventing a terrorist takeover of the country. happening in afghanistan right now. and the administration also seems to care more about avoir diring war with iran than keeping iran nuclear weapon. care more about ending wars even if it puts news a dangerous pose position. israel came back and said hey, there is no way that peace can actually happen as long as hamas terrorist tunnels are still intact. rocket kachs are well stocked. i don't see any indication that the president opposes this. >> panel, thank you. sorry it's so short. so much to talk tonight. sorry.
post columnist slamming president obama accusing him of abandoning israel. he goes further calling secretary of state john kerry as just noted inept. columnist joins us. good evening, sir. >> good evening. >> let me start first with your head lynn on your column that says obama, meaning president obama is abandoning israel. why do you say that sir? >> i say that because we feel that we would have expected the president of the united states to stand by an ally and not create a situation in which hamas gets a feeling that the united states will somehow rather get them out of trouble. if he would have stood forward, instead of -- he went through the ritual of stating that he understands our need to defend ourselves but then came down very hard on our efforts to defend ourselves and to move into any kind of military activity and now he has been putting enormous pressure on us and calling for unilateral cease-fire. we have accepted a series of unilateral cease-fires.
but this unilateral cease-fire, if it suggests that it's going to be based on no change in the present system is, to my mind a betrayal, i think one has to understand we are not two entities facing one another. the state of israel is a democratic country and we are facing a group of people who are dominating a small area but they are effectively the worst terrorist one can imagine. they are sending thousands of rockets on our civilians, they are sending people in to kill women and children. >> lead me ask you about your comments also about secretary kerry. in your article you say the uninvited presence of kerry. meaning our secretary, who many israelis now regard as unguided missile and has been making off the cuff sarcastic avoid palestinian casualties only encourage hamas to main taint missile attack. almost like you are saying he is on the other side and is he deliberately, the way
i read this is that you think he is deliberately trying to hurt israel. >> well, if he is deliberately doing it or not deliberately doing it, i don't know. is he certainly hurting us because i agree that there is a tremendous human tragedy involved in the casualties. one has to understand that we are defending our own people and it has to be put in the context. a context in which unilateral -- in which it's unique. you have never had a situation where a win-win situation for our enemies is kill as many israelis as possible. if that doesn't work, kill as many of our own and we will use it for propaganda. that into context. it has to be put into context. they are being used as human shields, these people. the command post, the rocket launchers, they are all in the center of civilian activity and why what are we supposed to do? i just wonder what the united states would do if cuba started reigning a couple thousand missiles upon them and sending terrorists into the united states, how they would respond. and if there is way of
responding in which we could respond with less imawcialts, let us know, because i believe that this israeli army has behaved in a manner unprecedented in the history of warfare. no one has taken as many steps as we have taken to try to minimize warfare. we have the fire power if we wanted to, to take the whole country out and we are doing our best to minimize it unfortunately, there are tragedies, and they should be pointed towards hamas, who are responsible. not towards us. >> mr. lieber, thank you very much for joining us, sir. >> my pleasure. let's all go off-the-record for a minute. how weak, at least they could step up and vote. i'm talking about our friends in europe and that midnight vote at the u.n. by its human rights counsel. it was a vote on a heavily unone sided resolution condemning israel in actions against hamas. it said zero about hamas
doing anything wrong whatsoever like using civilians as human shields. only one nation voted against it, we did. the united states and good for us. the united states stepped up and voted against condemning israel. we don't forget our friends what is disturbing is the weak and cowardly members not voting instead abstaining sticking their hands in the sand. nine european countries did that. france, ireland, great britain, germany. these countries didn't have the vote to vote and courage to vote no to condemning israel. they hide. says a lot about our country, don't you think? that's my off-the-record comment tonight. developing now, more than 100 border patrol agents are headed to our southern border. a live report from the crisis zone next. also the deadly ebola virus is spreading to american aid workers in lie beer i don't already stricken. can we stop this deadly virus from reaching the u.s.? the latest is coming up. new controversy from the nfl suspension of ray rice of the ravens, one tv host how

on your show before. that's about 12 hours away here from el paso. some of the border patrol agents will in fact be coming from our sector here. their tour of duty will be about 30 to 45 days here. while that won't be costing taxpayers overtime, it will be costing them per diem. we are talking about staying in hotels down there in the south texas border as well as getting meals paid for. >> where are these border agents coming from? they being pulled off other areas? >> he they are being pulled off of areas like el paso as i mentioned as well as throughout all of their sectors here and again they are not going to be getting any overtime which is the good news, they are going to be getting per diem here. they are going to be doing things just like helping, in fact, the south texas border here their agency operations here because they are being so overwhelmed by the amount of central american immigrants here talking about doing the regular border patrols.
not just people and manpower costing taxpayers money. it's equipment as well such as boats being sent from the del rio valley area. why only have 10 seconds left but reallocation of resources from one area to the other with added expense like the per diem and maybe some equipment movement, right? absolutely correct and about 30 to 45 days. i asked officials if they planned on having more tours of duty here adding additional people to this operation they said it's not sure they are not clear yet all right, josh. thank you. oklahoma governor mary fallon is fed up. she just wrote a letter directly to president obama demanding that he end the secrecy surrounding the detention of immigrant children in states like her own. and governor fallon joins us. good evening, governor. >> hi, greta. governor what's with the secrecy? what isn't the president 'telling you. >> we just want straightforward answer for the governors of our state. we want to know what the
president's end game is and what's he planning on doing? get us the facts and information on secrecy that some of our states were facing. we were told originally that we would have migrant children and youth who would stay in oklahoma about 120 days until october 10th. but we hear through back channels that it could be extended longer than that we have asked where are the children from we're told it's a privacy issue we can't know. we have been asked where are the children going once they leaf oklahoma, we know there has been about 212 teenagers have been released into oklahoma. we don't know where. we don't know if they have been released to legal people or illegal people. we are asking the president to be forth right. give us the information. we have a right to know as citizens of the state of oklahoma. we know it's going to cost us some money in our state even though they say it's not going to cost us some money. i just sent is the president a letter saying tell us what the end game is. tell us what's going on. >> i should add that today
governor pence of indiana sent a similar letter to the white house asking for information. i mean, why aren't you getting the information? i mean, the questions you are asking don't seem to be so -- it's not national security. i mean, why aren't they just giving you these answers? >> i think they just don't want us to know, frankly i think the president's policies on the border security has failed. it appears to me that he is for open border. it appears to me that he is for amnesty and, of course, we know that once these children or youth are released into our state, or into any other state, more than likely they are probably not going to show up for a hearing with immigrant attorneys themselves. and so, you know, we know they are going to be in oklahoma. we just want some answers to some questions because it is going to have impact on our schools. it could have impact upon our healthcare facilities if they show up in our emergency rooms. and we just feel like we have a right to know those questions. >> all right. from what i understand you have -- there are more than 1200 of these children have been held at fort sill in
oklahoma. what's the plan for them? >> well, that's part of what we don't know also. you know, one of the things i did do. and it was right after it first -- the children first placed at fort sill i wept down there about six weeks ago and took my health department director and toured the facilities because we certainly want to make sure that the children are being well taken care of and make sure they are receiving appropriate care and services. we felt very comfortable with that. but the questions that we have is, you know, where are these children from, where are they going? how much is it going to cost the state of oklahoma? and, just give us those answers. you know, i have been told that there have been some children who have come through oklahoma from india. reports through back channels that migrant children are coming from cuba, costa rica. not only coming from those three countries that we originally heard about. but we just don't know who is coming across our border. we know there are some adults that have been coming across our border. so, i also started online petition to to send to the
president basically saying enforce our laws, no amnesty let's get our borders secured, basically. >> governor, thank you. i hope you get your answers soon from the white house. thank you, governor. >> thank you, i appreciate it. >> efforts to fire senate majority leader harry reid a #fire reid campaign is a full fledge protest. you will hear from people who want senate majority leader harry reid fired. that's next.

harry reid who is not letting them come up for a vote. we want them up for a vote. >> one of the rally leaders representative marcia blackburn joins us nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> you are in the house and you are rallying to have the senate majority leader fired. >> absolutely. >> why? >> he needs to go because he will not do his job. there are 356 bills as of tonight that we have passed if the house. 98% of those are with bipartisan votes i don't understand. this so why not put the house bills on the floor and beat the republicans. just have them get beaten down, at least have a vote. he won't even -- he puts a pocket veto on these. won't even let them be considered. >> you are exactly right. he won't bring them up. 356. >> we keep saying why? what is he afraid of? >> you know, why won't he clean off his desk?
why won't he do what other people do when they're getting ready to leave town or be away from their office for a while? clear it off o. put these things on the floor, call the vote. a 5 of them are bills that are authored by democrats. and he will not call the vote. >> why? >> i guess he is trying to protect the president. these are things that he does not want to have passed. greta. we have got energy bills. here is one. keystone pipeline, three page bill. three page bill. >> what i don't understand is that he put the republican house bill on the floor and obviously that one is controversial. but a lot that aren't quite that controversial and he can can win and that's the end of it instead he doesn't get to incident that to. >> exactly right. as if he is trying to protect his members that he is fearful that they don't have the ability to make a decision. that he doesn't want the american people to have their point of view >> what i don't understand is there was last week they appointed some man to a board who investigates international plane crashes. that's a result of flight 17 going down in ukraine. that had been pending, maybe not so long but since may.
well, when they finally brought it up last week, that the plane came down, it was unanimous. i mean, nobody even objected to it. there are are things that he could put on the floor that everybody agrees on. >> right. well, 98% of our bills in the house have bipartisan support. and very few. >> yeah. but you call it bipartisan support if you find one democrat. >> two thirds have been unanimous or two thirds vote. so, look at it like that. we have many bills, suspension gone over on a voice vote. 178 of them. >> so. i that he has great passion about. and then i will see him -- i will watch video on the floor and i'm sure i'm getting selected video where he is complaining about the koch brothers. i have heard that over and over. give it a rest. argue about some the issues. i don't mind if he beats back the republicans. >> you are right. and if he wants to deal with the energy issues, the high prices, well, we have got 16 bills over there waiting on that. looking at taxes, we have seven bills that would rouse the tax burden on hard
working taxpayers. we have got 31 bills that deal with government waste, waste, fraud, and abuse, which is one of my big issues, you know, the list goes on and on. red tape four more bills. >> like the number two senator dick durbin out of illinois he would want the job and people nil know might get frustrated. tell senator harry reid to step aside if he doesn't want to do the job. >> the american people are incredibly frustrated. do you know one of the number one things that we hear when we are out doing town halls is people will talk about the border situation, retirement issues, job security, national security, and they will say tell me what you are going to do about this. and, of course, we in the house have been taking these issues up. and moving them over to the senate. and they are just languishing on harry reid's desk. the thing is about to break because it's got so many bills ton. >> i don't get it. it on the floor and beating back the republicans. i don't see the pocket
people consider it anyway. congressman, nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> see much more from the #fire reid protest including interview with ryan priebus on greta wire.com. dangerous world health crisis ebola. hundreds of dying a miserable death, bleeding from their eyes, so ugly. news ebola striking two aids workers in africa. can ebola be stopped from reaching the u.s.? >> a case of ebola is only a plane ride away from coming to this country. >> it's one of the deadliest diseazs on this planet. >> the centers for disease control is closely monitoring what's become the largest ebola outbreak in history. >> the lancasterest ever. >> there is no cure for it the symptoms can be frustratingly vague, fever and headaches, vomiting, weakness and stomach pain. at the end kidney failure and then hemorrhage and death. >> two americans are fighting for their lives.
>> the spread of a dangerous illness like ebola is no longer someone else's problem. >> and the "wall street journal" jason be bellini joins us. jason, is there a risk that this deadly virus is going to come here? >> hi, greta. is there a risk? , well, there is a risk because now, we have seen at least one person travel out of this infected area in west africa. who to nigeria. one of the real difficulties here is that you can be without symptoms for many weeks, caring this carrying virus. travel abroad and be symptomatic and present a danger. the top doctor we just learned died of this disease. this comes after liberia's top doctor died of this disease as well. >> all right. and there is incubation period of 2 to 21 days. but you are not contagious, as i understand, during that period. it's not until the person begins showing symptoms. so, at least that is a little helpful in identifying the problem or at least trying to contain
it. >> right, it really requires direct contact. one of the reasons why it is spreading so quickly in this part of the world. there is a tradition of family members taking care of those with the disease directly. with that said, the cdc is saying keep an eye out, asking doctors to keep an eye out for americans who travel that part of the world. >> i will tell you i know some people. i know how strict they are and the fact that two of them have it. i know how careful they are shows how contagious this is if the two of them have it because they have the strictest of regiments, thank you. >> thank you. >> deep sadness gripping friends and family and co-workers of two americans just diagnosed with ebola. both measures have been helping to treat other stricken patients in liberia. one is is a doctor for samaritan's purse. the other a missionary. joining us from library beer i can't. the country director for samaritan's purse in monrovia, good evening, sir, can you tell me how your two members of is a mayor tan's
purse, how are they doing? >> good evening, greta. yeah. dr. the other missionary is -- they are doing okay. considering the circumstances that they are facing. the likelihood of death with this very dangerous virus, we always heard 90%. we are hearing now 60% with this strain. is there any improvement in the two who have the symptoms? >> at this point, the -- we snare tan's purse are providing every possible care that we can for them and we keep hoping and praying for improvement at this point we see little improvement and then they go down a little bit. so we just, at this point, they are holding on and we keep praying that they have a full recovery. >> do you see this ebola
spreading? i know that the liberia government is trying to contain it. closed many of the borders. do you have a sense that there is enough tension on this that it might be contained or still so many things that need to be done trying to contain this epidemic? >> this epidemic is unprecedented. it's now the largest ebola outbreak in the history. and i think the government of liberia is doing all they possibly can do. the truth remains that if there is not a very large international response to this, there be many more liberians that will suffer. >> any sort of wish list tonight in terms it of what could be done to contain it? because you are there on the ground. what do we need first? >> at this point, there is just incredible need for
awareness and understanding of the disease. how it is spread. we -- there is desperate need for doctors and nurses. clinicians that have experience in hemorrhageic fever. there is is a need for supplies in order to protect your staff and follow protest the coals to clinically respond just takes a lot of supplies. there is just a number much resources that is needed international response is really what i believe is required at this point. >> ken, thank you, and, of course, snare tans purse.org is the web site where you can learn more about it and be kept up to date on the two samaritan purse people who have ebola. ken, thank you. and will russian president vladimir putin stop at nothing? the u.s. now officially accuse russia of violating a landmark arms control treaty. ambassador john bolton is here next.u'yi

nice to it be with you. >> why are we hearing this now? what's been the big secret where whether they are violating or not violating it? >> i think we have believed for quite some time that they have been violating the treaty, but, you know, it goes against the grain both at the state department and certainly in the obama administration ever to accuse the russians of violating any arms control agreement. because that breaks through this theology that these agreements by and large work. the violations of the imf treaty have been known on the hill for quite some time. i think the administration finally decided they had to fess up to one violation
and, by the way, there is another that they don't mention in the report that they issued today because, otherwise, it would leak and be even more embarrassing to them. but there is no indication that president obama understands the gravity of this violation or for what it means for the larger issue of u.s./russia relations or russia's broader efforts to advance its interests around the world. >> all right. so you talk about -- what does it mean for the broader picture? i mean if they're violating this? >> well, the president was asked today is there a new cold war between the united states and russia? and he said no, this relates to a specific issue we have with them over ukraine. when he proposed additional sanctions. now, these sanctions and the entire obama administration policy on ukraine have not deterred the russians one iota from using military force to try and change borders in europe. they have already annexed the crimea. you add to the it the
violation of the imf treaty and i would add near certain violations of the chemical weapons convention and other treaties. the actions that russia has taken in syria. opens the question whether the syrians adhered fully to their agreement on chemical weapons. iran nuclear weapons. the list goes on and on. it forms a pattern of russian behavior under putin that's very threatening to american interests. >> all right. we only have a short time left. the sanctions they have now been stiffened by the europeans and by us. does that mean anything in recent time? >> basically. no these are marginal increases in the sanction. they have been talked about for weeks. the russians have already tried to mitigate them. i don't think there is any evidence they are gonna slow putin down. in some respects these minimal sanctions are worse than no sanctions at all it reinforces putin's view can he do what he wants in ukraine. >> ambassador, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> and nfl star ray rice from the ravens suspended

probably deserves more than the two game suspension which we both acknowledge. at the same time, we also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation. not that there is real provocation but the elements of provocation. you have got to make sure that you address it because what we have got to do is do what we can to try to prevent the situation from happening in any way. and i don't think that's broached enough. >> well, those comments sparking range across the web, smith's espn coworker tweeting i'm thinking about wearing a mini skirt this weekend i would hate to think what i would be asking for by doing. so even whoopi goldberg giving her view on "the view." >> do not live with this idea that the men have the chivalry thing still with them. don't assume that that is still in place. don't be surprised if you hit a man and he hits you back. you don't you hit somebody,
they hit you pack. don't be surprised. if you make a choice as a woman 4-foot 3 and decide to hit a guy who is 6-foot tall and you are the last thing that he wants to deal with you that day. and he hits you back, you cannot be surprised. let's not hit anyone yesterday smith delivering this apology before his show. >> good morning. on friday, speaking right here on first take on the subject of domestic violence i made what can only amount to the most egregious of my career, i'm truly, truly sorry. particularly the victims of domestic abuse and female family members and loved ones i have disappointed and who know i know better. you all deserved a better profession and quite frankly a better man last friday sitting on this very set in this very chair. my heart filled apologies to each and every single one of you. >> so, what do you think about smith, rice, and the whole mess? tweet your thoughts to hash tag ray rice.

"the new york post" has some ofç the excerpts. she writes it is time to burn the beret and burn the blue dress. >> in a preview she talks about being suicidal at times and wanting to reach out to somebody going through something of a similar fashion. she says this about how hillary called her a
narcissistic loony tune. "yes, i get it hillary clinton wanted it on record that she was lashing out at her husband's mistress. she may have blamed her husband for being inappropriate but i find her impulse to lash out at me troubling." >> she thinks it's all about timing. she'sç saying it's a lot about timing, let's clear the decks to get ready for 2016. >> take a listen to this great debate. >> i don't think this is actually relevant as we go forward into 2016 because it has no bearing on the ability of hillary clinton to be a national leader and whether she can lead our nation. >> any time monica lewinsky is in the news, it does not help either of the clintons. it brings back all sorts of bad memories, you know, certainly of the president's bad behavior. >> i really wonder if this
isn't an effort on the clintons' part to get that story out ofç the way. would "vanity fair" publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in"vanity fair"? >> i haven't seen the whole article but from the excerpt i see, i don't think hillary looks great. she might be saying i've got to say something because i think i've turned a corner of my life. >> she is saying get it out now and america will chew on it for two years and by the time the campaign rolls around, yeah, we've already talked about that. what's curious is she's quite adamant, monica lewinsky stresses this was her, having sex with the president, was consensual. not like he forced her on it. she makes it very clear it was consensual. she says the only time sheç was abused was by his
cronies, the people who scapegoated her. >> she does mention she does feel taken advantage of. so if this is indeed on the part of the clintons to get this out of the way, this could be the second time she has been used by the clintons in the white house. let us know what you think about this. who does it help? does it help monica? does it help hillary? does it not help either one? let us know on facebook. >> you should call barbara walters. she got the interview. >> i called her thisç morning. barbara, i know you're up. i spent a lot of time with her, so i'd be curious. >> coming up straight ahead. >> a new rule banning parents from spanking their children in certain areas when they misbehave. we'll tell you where that is. there is a new rule on the books. we're going to explain. >> protesters refuse to let condoleezza rice speak at rutgers university, but something big just came out of that. it's big.

of the building with placards. there are ways that one can do that. but you shouldn't be in a situation where they try to stifle it to keep them away or they threaten to make so much noise and yell that no one can hear the speaker. >> i want toç you hear condoleezza rice, what she posted on facebook. commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for graduates and their families. rutgers invitation for me to speak has become a distraction for the university at a special time. it is not because of the push back she has decideed to speak. it is because of this. universities have become so liberal they stifle people that don't necessarily agree with them. and a professor is so great,ç kids will start agreeing with that to get
long. >> you've got to look at free speech any time something comes up. the key is there are those on the left that want to stifle free speech and they want to stop free speech for the people they disagree with. we're in the idea business. if there is anyone that should be in the idea business, it's universities. we should be stressing that we want all people of all persuasions to be able to speak out. and i think it's just -- it's bad. it's happened throughout the country. and some places a person would get up to speak and the students would yell them down so they couldn't speak. there's a lack of civility in that and there's also an element in that that's against free speech of thoseç that they disagree with. >> not at texas tech and that's why you're here this morning. chancellor, condoleezza rice's office got your letter. they thank you and they'll consider it. thanks for talking about it today on this very special
time for not only the chancellor, the professor and students in may. kent hance, thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, kids, take a book, any book as long as it's not that bible thing. one kid in serious trouble in his school for reading about religion in class.ñi lawmakers wanting to bring -- let me try that again. she won't talk, but lawmakers want to bring lois lerner back to capitol hill. is this just a waste of your money or can we expect a change of heart? we'll discuss it. ♪ ♪

welcome back. some quick headlines for you. he served no jail time for his crime but now the family of the so-called affluenza team has to pay up, a $3 million settlement with one of his victims families. that teen was left paralyzed after couch crashed his truck while driving drunk. four others were killed. should the stow away teenager be criminally charged. this video shows the moment a 15-year-old climbed out of the wheel well of a 767, shopping down on to the tarmac. no oneç knows how he survived the five-hour flight where temperatures dropped well below 80 degrees. he has been placed with child services.
>> i think that is 80 degrees below zero. a fifth grader admonishes a fifth grader for reading the bible. listen to the message to his parents. >> he has religious books in the classroom. he's not permitted to read those books in my classroom. >> joining us is fifth grader giovani rubeo along with his dad paul. >> i understand,ç paul, in april -- let me back up. giovani, you got the bible as a gift from your church around christmastime? >> yes. >> why did you decide you wanted to read the bible during your free time? >> i love reading the bibl'm ald it. >> apparently the school had given you some trouble in the past. paul, you went in to the
principal, talked to the principal, i believe in april, is that right, and got a letter that said he can read it during free time? >> i had spoke to them numerous times. in march they told him to put it away a coupleç of times, and he came home and said dad, they're telling me to put away my bible and i told him they can't do that. >> a couple of days ago, giovani, your teacher says you've got to put that away and you don't. then what did you ask her to do? >> i asked her to call my father. >> and she called your dad and said that you couldn't -- that -- go ahead. why do you think she said you had to put your bible away? >> because she didn't want me reading it. >> paul, why is it that teacher didn't want your son reading his bible during free reading time? >> that, i can't answer. it seemed they were very hostile about the whole
thing. i found that the voice message kind of speaks for itself.j4(p&c@ >> well, it does. i understand none of the other students were queried what they were reading at the time. so let's bring in the attorney right now, jeremy dice. jeremy, what's going on here? why do you think the school's got a problem with the bible? >> it's a hard question to answer. but what we do know is that students across america are permitted to read their bible while they're at school especially during free time in free reading periods like this. the bible is not contra band and shouldn't be treated as such. for a teacher to single out a student during free reading time is an egregious violatiof nf the constitution. >> absolutely. we've got a statement from the school board. they say broward county public schools respects and upholds the rights of students to bring personal religious materials to school, including the bible, and to read these before school, after school or during any free reading time during the school day. giovani, one of the things
is, i read in the local news stories down there in florida that apparently the school said that that was not a free reading time. you were supposed to be reading some other assigned book. is that right? >> no. that's not right at all. >> it was definitely free reading. paul, you had received word that during free reading time it would be okay for your son to read his bible? >> yes, i have received that. >> okay. so what do you want from the school? >> right now all we want is a written apology. if you made a mistake, be diligent enoughç to admit it, and everybody can move on and just allow my son and all the children in the entire school district to have that freedom to read their bible if they choose to do so during free reading time. >> jeremy, that's fair; right? >> i would think so. for the largest school district in the united states to be able to walk across the street and say we're sorry our teacher tried to remove the bible during a free reading period, i don't think that's a tall order to ask.
students in america are permitted to read their bible while they're at school. >> giovani is no longer in that teacher's classroom. he has been moved toç another one as he concludes the year. >> giovani, paul, jeremy, thank you for joining us. what do you think about that? why did that particular teacher crack down on that particular book, the bible? go ahead and send us an e-mail, friends@foxnews.com. you can facebook us or tweet us. next up on the rundown, he oversaw the agency accused of leaving our veterans to die on a secret waiting list. should the head of the v.a. step down? not so fast. the white house has a different idea. they want to keep him. parents, how do you punish your children when they're misbehaving? now there is a school on the books in at least one place that says you don't get to decide. first happy birthday to lone survivor actor alexander. he is 22.

[laughter] >> it's your shot of the morning. these three hot dogs told to wait for their treat. and then they're finally given the go ahead. the smallest one makes off with everybody's food. >> that's how it goes in my house. >> you know what? i thought in the dog world you don't want to cross a pit bull. i'm like, okay, buddy, i'll let you get about five feet and then i'm coming after you. >> got to be fast. >> to the littleç guy, just another dog. >> that's the mind set? >> somebody else with a flea collar. >> i don't know in the dog world how they punish each other but a lot of people throughout time have decideed to discipline their children by spanking. in kansas city, in one hospital in particular, spanking is no go. the point is they actually have a plan if they catch you spanking and it leaves a mark. >> they have pamphlets and banner. the no-hit zone at
children's mercy hospital.ç a policy that says you cannot use any sort of spanking. if they see it happening, they will bring in a representative from child services to deal with it, giving alternatives such as bubbles and coloring to make the situation simmer. >> it's not even a ban on spanking. it's a ban on any sort of, let's see, hitting of any kind. and the goal of the hospital is if they see something escalating they're going to try to defuse it because they don't want it to lead anything else. if a staff member sees something escalating, get the kid a coloring book or bubbles. if somebody gives their kid a spafrpg or something like -- a spank or something like that, sounds like they're going to call in a social worker. a lot of people say we're not spankers. there are a lot of people in this world who discipline theirç children with a spank. >> they don't define it as hitting. here they blend the two
together. they say no hitting. they're bringing them in together in terms of discipline. on one hand, anybody who has had a kid in the hospital understands it is a stressful time. it is the point where you feel the least amount of control over a situation. for one more access to the ability to control a situation in your family is hard for those parents out there right now and have that taken away. but if things are escalated, it could get tense in a hospital. >> so this kansas city,ç missouri, mercy hospital says we looked at these studies and it said you basically raise bullies if you start spanking kids. are they taking the parent out of parenting? are they going to a place they don't belong? or is this hospital doing something that is necessary on behalf of what they think for the child? >> are they trying to create peace or trying to take your rights away? >> sure. some families do spank. if you've got somebody in the hospital and suddenly you've got to deal with the social worker because you
gave your kid a whack on the butt, that doesn't make it any easier. >> they say if it leaves a mark. they're not going to decide if it's over the line unless it leaves a mark. >> they're going to be looking at this. is it a distraction to the overall health and well-being to kids in the hospital? let us know what you think. facebook or twitter. >> it is 24 minutes before the top of theç hour. heather nauert. >> speaking of spanking, there may be a little bit of a political spanking in washington. the house of representatives now inching closer to charging former i.r.s. official lois lerner with contempt. there is a meeting to be held today to consider that as well as a g.o.p. request for a special prosecutor to investigate the targeting scandal. >> the way this looks, you know, it looks so political, a political process, pure and simple, aimed at trying to appeal toç the political base.
the facts don't seem to matter. >> nobody can find a scarier organization, at least one without guns, than the i.r.s. >> there could be a full house vote today or tomorrow. an emotional moment caught on camera. the mother of a u.s. marine hears her son's words from inside this prison for the very first time in mexico. sergeant andrew tameri s*eu has been locked up in a mexican jail. he says he took a wrong turn while driving and accidentally went over the border. he had three legal guns in his truck. listen to this. >> i'm a pretty good man, good morals. i believe in god and i put my faith in good that he will take care of me. >> that took me by surprise. i hadn't heard that interview. that was the jail house heard that. >> a local san diego newspaper conducted that interview. tahmooressi faces 21 years

month. >> at the end of the day the ranger training and the physical fitness they have out there in the rangers and also in the army means a lot from every soldier. there wasn't a huge transition i had to make. >> he says if the nfl doesn'tç work out he'll head back to afghanistan in september for his fourth tour of duty. what a brave young man. we've got a bunch of nfl draft picks coming in later today. >> we have 15 nfl draft picks. it's been a five-year tradition. >> exciting there. >> thanks, heather. maria is standing by. >> hello everybody. i want to take you first to wyoming because in wyoming, we saw a very rare tornado. the state only sees about ten tornadoes per year. this oneç lasted only about two minutes and hit an undeveloped area. again, very rare especially this early in the year to

listen to this one, every parent needs to hear this. a father shows up at a school board meeting to express his concerns with a risque novel that's required reading for his 14-year-old daughter and here is what happened. >> what are you charging me with? >> disorderly conduct. >> disorderly conduct. >> taken away in handcuffs. here is what happened. he went over the two minutes of that allowed for him to address the school board in new hampshire and so he was arrested and taken away. the center of the controversy is a book called "19 minutes." it's by jody picall. there is a love scene in it that is too graphic for ninth graders. listen. >> it reads like a transcript for a triple x porno movie. we had no notice about it. >> school officials say they are standing by that book. they say it's been part of the curriculum since 2007.
they'll update their policies, but listen to this one, instead of being able to opt out of controversial material, including this one, parents have to be forced to sign off on them. so it's still part of required reading. nothing changed there. >> i got to send something home to the parents. >> you're hearing from people on this, right? >> yeah. a lot of you are weighing in. wayne tweeted us this, he says his fry dom of speech was violated. very sad that parents aren't allowed to voice their concerns about improper books. >> that's right. susan tweeting this: they allotted him two minutes? he could have expressed his outrage in that time. no infringement on free speech. >> sean says, officer, how about arresting the teacher who hands this out and teaches it? check out how helpful to the students. >> yep. keep e-mailing us regarding it. you can fake book us or you could tweet us as well. meanwhile, today you're going to discover that monica lewinsky is back. she's written an article in
vanity fair. the whole thing comes out tomorrow. we do have some excerpts, which it's curious, she makes it very, very clear that the times she had sex with then president of the united states, bill clinton, it was consentual. it was between consenting adults. he didn't force himself on her. didn't abuse her. the only people who abused her were his cronies, it sounds like, when she was made the scapegoat and was all to protect the clintons. >> right. that way she felt taken advantage of and also suicidal. she reveals during the height of the scandal, actually prompting her to write and actually get some word out here in the vanity fair article and help others who may be feeling like a victim going through something like this. >> i really feel bad for her. she points out to what happens at rutgers with the 18-year-old who felt humiliation. she said she felt same to that in the same fashion as she turns 40. shear an excerpts from the article which has not been fully released yet. she said my first thought as i
was getting up to spied, that's the worst thing she said about me, i should be lucky. yes, i get it. hillary clinton wanted it on the record that she was lashing out at her husband's mistress. she may have faulted her husband for being inappropriate, but i find her impulse to blame the woman and herself troubleing. >> and things that we know from her then friend in the 1990s said hillary referred to monica lewinsky as that narcistic looney toon. what's curious is why is vanity fair publishing this right now? we've got one theory from lynn cheney, you're about to hear, and also we've got a republican strategist and a democratic strategist because the timing is curious, don't you think? we haven't heard of monica lewinsky out of the blue 'til now. why? listen to this. >> i don't think this is actually relevant as we go
forward into 2016 because it really has no bearing on the abilities of hillary clinton to be a national leader and whether she can lead our nation. >> any time monica lewinsky is in the news, it does not help either of the clintons. it brings back all sorts of bad memories, certainly of the president's bad behavior. >> i really wonder if this isn't an effort on the clintons' part to get that story out of the way. would vanity fair publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in vanity fair? >> probably not. my question is, is vanity fair going to do something with broderick or gennifer flowers or paula jones? if they're doing, so to speak, monica lewinsky -- if you google mistresses of bill clinton, there is a shocking number of people who come up. >> the timing of this is certainly coming under question. we're going to have the opportunity to talk with lynn cheney in a bit here on the show.
we asked you what you thought in the meantime and barbara is saying this: monica may be the only honest person in a sad situation. we know the clintons aren't truthful. >> theresa posted on facebook, hillary stayed with bill for her own agenda to once again occupy the white house. >> and ralph's up and he says what difference does it make? you're funny. >> mark saying it's all good until a republican does it, then all hell breaks loose. >> yeah, there is a little bit of a double standard. continue to e-mail us, tweet us and facebook us. >> she was over -- wasn't she at oxford? she got a degree at oxford in london. >> she did. but she said she had a difficult time finding jobs after. moments of being stressed. >> she says it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. >> okay. >> none of this would have happened if that blue dress disappeared, or she had gone to the cleaners. >> 7:11. >> you're right.

he is being tapped to lead an investigation into the benghazi attacks. congressman trey gowdy in south carolina getting death threats. that's just the start? joining us is congressman devon nunez and members of the house select committee on intelligence who joins us from d.c good morning to you. >> great to be back on with you. >> it's great to have you. a couple of days ago, democrats were saying, no, no, no. nobody should show up. suddenly yesterday, nancy pelosi said, well, we'll show up if it can be half and half. which is funny because when she was running things, it was nine democrats versus six republicans. what sort of recipe are you guys looking at? >> it's going to be seven republicans and five democrats, steve. the point that you make is right. this congress has a long history of these investigative committees. we attempted to do it through the existing structure with the four committees of jurisdiction, but as you know, we've been stonewalled by the administration, so much so that the legislative branch of our government was unable to get the e-mails that you guys in the
press were able to get. that's totally unacceptable and i think it broke basically john boehner did the right thing by coming out strongly and putting one of our great new members of congress, trey gowdy, who will do a great job as chairman. >> as we look in, you're in the thick of things in washington, d.c., it does look like stonewalling, in addition to the fact they would send you guys documents that were completely blank because they had been completely redacted where you couldn't even tell where it was about, which is kind of nuts. they've also made it impossible for to you talk to the people who were there. it sounds like -- from what we've heard some of you guys talk about -- these guys have been threatened with their jobs. if you say anything, there goes your pension. we might sue you. will witnesses be able to testify in fronts of your committee? >> yeah. i think that's the important point, too, is we're going to have good witnesses like greg hicks, who was the number one man, after ambassador stevens
was murdered in cold blood by al-qaeda terrorists, greg hicks was the man in charge. greg hicks has been put out to pasture by this administration. he's been said that he's not a credible witness. but i think what we're going to find through this investigation is that guys like greg hicks, who were on the ground, the station chief that was there in libya working for the c.i.a., all of those people are going to be extremely credible. if we can ever get the rest of the e-mails out of the administration, we're going to find out -- we're going to get to the bottom of what really happened in benghazi and who made up these most ridiculous stories. >> the white house goes well, we had you, congress, you've had a bunch of investigations, plus there was that arb, accountability review board, they looked at things. but the arb talked to greg hicks, to your point, and he told them that the reason chris stevens was in benghazi was because hillary clinton personally asked him to see whether or not they could establish a permanent post there. that's what he told the arb.
but the arb, when they finally released the report, it said chris stevens wound up in benghazi independently, which is crazy. that's a flat out lie! >> yeah. we haven't gotten to the bottom yet of what was chris stevens actually doing there. he did meet with people that day. i think that's something that the committee should look into, who exactly did he meet with. i think the committee should trio meet with those folks, or at least have investigators meet with those folks. there is still a lot of information out here. i don't blame anyone but the white house. the american people should blame no one but the white house. they had an opportunity and they have a responsibility as leaders in this country to provide the legislative branch of government all of the documentation when the legislative branch asks. they did not do it and they get what they deserve on this. >> well, to a lot of people, it looks like there was a conspiracy and a cover-up and a lot of people would like the answers and it's up to you guys now. all right.

the calls of the nigerian people to bring back our girls has been heard around the world. now the united states has said it will sean team of u.s. military and law enforcement to the region to assist with negotiations. but who is this terror group? what is it that they believe in exactly? joining us is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> 300 young women held captive by these folks. it's important to understand who this terrorist organization is. in 2013, the united states declared it a terror organization. its leader, they espouse hatred for everything modern, secular and western. they especially oppose education for women. so they've become known for these attacks on schools, including burning schools, holding people hostage, suicide bombs, and attacks. >> this is their leader that is pictured right there. >> yeah. and he suspect out a series of videos saying that allah ordered him to do this.
that's interesting because they do have ties to al-qaeda, the terrorist organization we know so well. they've received training from al-qaeda and shakal declared his allegiance to al-qaeda in the past. there is no firm evidence that they intend to take their efforts beyond the four countries in africa that they've been involved with. >> who are their targets that we know of? >> their targets are schools, government officials, christians, christian churches, nigerian security and police forces. they're known most famously for december 2011 bombing of a cathedral in nigeria. in fact, last year i met a nigerian bishop who told me that priests were so terrified in that country that they needed to change christmas midnight mass to early in the afternoon to 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon because they were afraid that the parishioners would be kidnapped and murdered in the middle of the night on christmas
morning. and it's taken a terrible, terrible toll. 1500 people have died this year alone. thousands have died in the last few years. now america and the world, including great britain, are saying, we need to get involved in this. the hashtag has taken hold and foreign policy is following this saying, what can we do to save these children? it's an absolute heart break. >> the president spoke out as well. he actually called it, quote, heart breaking and outrageous. so what exactly precisely can be done? >> it's interesting. in some ways it's ignored this situation in nigeria for a while. there's a $7 million bounty on the leader's head. now the white house is sending a team of military officials, negotiators, intelligence officials and law enforcement personnel to see what they can do to bring these children back, to return them to their parents. can you imagine at any school in america to have almost 300

subscription. >> feel any differently? >> not at all. i actually do not feel 50. it feels surreal, which is crazy when you start at the same job 17 years ago -- >> 17 years. my goodness. >> in 97, when my son called in, he was one. when you think about high school and college, four years each. now you double that. >> brian, we watched you grow up. it's brian's song. >> i'd like to jog in a football uniform! >> you know what? since you're here, geraldo, we want to ask you about the monica lewinsky story. she now is appearing on the covers of -- >> talking about time flying. >> exactly right. she's 40. she writes in vanity fair for the first tile time ever about her affair with bill clinton. among other things, she talks about how when i had sex with the president of the united
states, it was consentual. he didn't force himself on me. the only time i was abused was by his cronies who tried to scapegoat me. >> you know, when i first came to fox, bill o'reilly said that fox audience would never accept me because i was bill clinton's prime defender during my cnbc days. i have a source, the reason i could report with great accuracy about what was happening is that the president's best friend, whom i have sworn never to name, would call me on a nightly basis with the story du jour. >> how many does he have? >> well, if you sort through, you could probably figure it out. there was an amazing shift within the dynamic of the pro-clinton forces during the arc of the story. monica lewinsky is absolutely right, as i recall, as the story was evolving right before my
very eyes there, that there was a lot of she's nut job, she's a loose cannon. she's a crazy -- >> it's her faults. >> basically she came on to him. she pursued him. then if you'll recall, i was the one who broke the story that the stain on the blue dress was indeed president clinton's dna. so i was able to report that. the story changed dramatically as that revelation was reported to me and i passed it on to the american people. then it was much more about all men lie about having affairs, oral sex is not real sex. then the story became not monica. monica was now in every way affirmed. now became the minimummization of what the offense was. >> why do you think she's coming out? >> that's good question. i don't necessarily agree with lynn cheney. great to see her again in the
green room. i don't necessarily agree that hillary clinton is behind the timing of this. put yourself in monica lewinsky's shoes. i don't know where the hell she has been for these many years. >> why bother? why do it now? >> you know, let's take her at her word. the 18-year-old rutgers student who jumped off the bridge in front of my house, that she was motivated because she similarly -- >> felt humiliation he felt. >> and she wants to do self-destroy as he did. >> will it play in 2016 for hillary? will this matter that she's coming out now? >> i think it meters who the republican nominee is. i think a senator rand paul has made very clear, elisabeth, that he considers the president's character and the actions of his spouse during this traumatic period in american history to be relevant to the 2016 election as it refers to the clark of the family -- character of the family. if it's rand paul, that's one
thing. if it's jeb bush or mitt romney again -- >> i actually see a woman that's turning 40 that wants to make sense out of what happened to her. >> i think that's very profound. you just turned 50. i 70. >> can i throw a curve ball in here? could women, could the clintons or hillary clinton maybe assume that there would be a bunch of women who feel like she does and maybe this would relate to them? could this bode well for her if she was on the ticket? >> well, all i know is that she got tremendous support from the women's movement and monica lewinsky points out with great bitterness, if you read even the excerptses, the limited excerpts, how feminists deserted her and blamed it all on her, the intern, after all, and the suffering spouse. >> why were they ever defending her? >> why weren't they? that's an excellent question.
i think the woman's movement really has to assess its own performance during that trauma. >> we're going to listen to you on the radio? >> i'm going to radio right now. i got my radio voice on now. >> we're going to be talking to lynn cheney. her take on it. she's coming up in a couple of minutes. geraldo, thanks very much for dropping by. >> didn't expect so. >> thank you very much. >> 52 minutes now. >> right. >> keep the cameras away from the man. heather, what's in the headlines? >> let's start with political news. while you were sleeping, there have been major political developments that will affect the midterm election. let's start in north carolina. republican tom tillis winning the gop senate nomination. he will now face democratic senator kay hagin in november. also north carolina, the congressional primary race between two democrats, clay aiken and keith chrisco is still considered too close to call. we'll let you know what happens
as we got it. ohio, john boehner defeating two tea party challengers that we told you about yesterday. he won that in his bid for a 13th term in congress. the united states now taking part joining the manhunt for the leader of the nigerian terror group behind the kidnappings of more than 270 young girls. the u.s. is now sending military intelligence and law enforcement support to nigeria in its hunt for the leader of the group. this as we learn eight more girls have been kidnapped within the last 24 hours. the warlord of that group says he plans to sell the girls into slavery. the republican congressman trey gowdy is now receiving death threats after he's been tapped to lead a select committee to investigate the attack in benghazi. the e-mails threaten to hurt him if he goes forward with the hearings. the hearings will go forward. fox news now confirming that the 12-member panel will include seven republicans and five democrats. but will they got any answers?
>> i don't blame anyone but the white house. the american people should blame no one but the white house. they had an opportunity and they have a responsibility as leaders in this country to provide the legislative branch of government all of the documentation when the legislative branch asks. they did not do it and they get what they deserve on this. >> today we expect to learn more about who will be on that committee. a fifth grader in florida says he was simply humiliated by his teacher. he was reading the bible during free time at school, but listen to this voice mail that his teacher left for his parents. >> i noticed that he has books, a religious book in the classroom. he's not permitsed to read those books in my classroom. >> those books. 12-year-old boy says his bible is one of his favorite books. he and his father joined us, along with their attorney, emergency roomier on "fox & friends." listen to what they had to say. >> all we want is a written
apology. if you made a mistake, be diligent enough to admit it and everybody can move on and just allow my son and all the children in the entire school district to have that freedom to read their bible if they choose to do so. >> the broward county public school district says it upholds the right of students to bring religious materials to school. what do you think about that? those are your headlines. back to you. >> thank you very much. i'm looking in the e-mail box. many happy birthdays. >> very nice. i appreciate it. it was great to see geraldo again. >> great, with clothes on. 11 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, rutgers university paid $30,000 to bring in snooki from "jersey shore." but let a speech by condoleeza rice slip away because of a few protesters from faculty and students. now the former secretary of state has a new offer. >> and she refuses to talk. now democrats say enough is enough when it comes to questioning lois lerner. >> maybe we can get ken starr starr to come out of retirement.
maybe he can come out for another investigation and waste taxpayer money. >> should we give hear break or hold her accountable? >> i'll take the fifth. >> i'll let you take the fifth because it's your birthday. >> he's drinking a fifth? ♪ ♪ ♪ you've reached the age where you know how things work. this is the age of knowing what needs to be done. so why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long- term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing.

i want you to listen to me. i'm going to say this again. i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> we remember that. brian? >> yep. she's back. monica lewinsky speaking out in a new interview with vanity fair. some are questioning the timing of the article. why now? >> joining us to weigh in on exactly that is the wife of
former vice president dick cheney, and the author of "james madison." good morning. >> good morning. >> and i want to give brian a birthday present. >> thank you very much. >> especially signed for you. it is signed. congratulations. >> i'm not in your class, especially after i see this. i'm fascinated by the period in which you examined. first i want to get your comment about what broke in the news. you find the timing of this article interesting. >> well, politics -- i've been lucky enough to have a front row seat for quite a while -- it's never what it seems. there is always an explanation below the surface. it's usually more accurate than what you immediately lead to. in this case, i just can't imagine vanity fair running an article that the clintons wouldn't approve of. it seems so timed to inoculate mrs. clinton's campaign against this kind of thing popping up later.
>> sure. put it out now. a couple years in advance, and then by the time people go to vote, they'll be oh, that's old news. vanity fair is going to do this. do you think they're going to do something with paul paula jones or gennifer flowers? >> no. i think that, you know -- i have a great empathy, sympathy for monica lewinsky and i do think she's been suffering. but i'm sure if you were able to sort it all out, vanity fair probably reached out to her and the article came about that way. >> so let's talk about why you're here. not only to see steve and elisabeth on the couch. >> and wish awe happy birthday. >> but talking about james madison. what is underappreciated and what needs to be revisitd about this founding father? >> his accomplishments were such great height and scope and depth, father of the constitution, crucial to the founding of the first government. president when the country went
to war for the first time under the constitution. so all of that, plus a really interesting life story. there is one story that occurred to me when you asked me about monica lewinsky. dolly madison was the subject of whispering campaigns. she was just a little too attractive. >> really? >> yeah. >> attracted for him? >> no. but too attractive to not attract this kind of notice. and she at one point was said to be having an affair with x. and y, a friend of the madisons, stood up and defended her in an embarrassing way. so madison, went to x's house, the person rumored to be having an affair with dolly. personally invitessed him to dinner. it was a very clever move because what it said to everyone is the secretary of state had gone over there, invited the fellow to dinner. he came to dinner on f street. he wasn't having an affair with dolly madison. i think it's useful and you know this. even when you're looking at past
times, to always be aware that there is another scenario playing out. >> the past is prolog. >> it seems like those -- what would he say today about the president's role? >> well, he'd be appalled by the scope and reach of the federal government. but i think he would also be very troubled that the president seems to decide for himself what the law should be. we won't enforce immigration laws even though they are on the books. they've been passed by the congress. we'll delay mandates and requirements under the affordable care act, even though that's no prerogative of the president. so i think he would be troubled at the constitution having become not the rule of law, but the rule of -- >> it's also important in your book, you chronicle anybody who thinks america is in hard times and never been so bad, how about a president standing, sitting by himself in a horse in the
pouring rain while washington burns and he's overlooking it? that's grim in 1812. he was the president then and he brought everybody back. >> dolly goes out and gets all the priceless artwork. before you go, how is your husband, dick cheney? >> he's wonderful. we're so lucky. >> how is liz? >> she's great. i'm hoping she'll run for office again. >> the book is terrific. everything you ever wanted to know about james madison. right there! >> i'll talk to you on radio about it, even more ostensibly. >> you want another copy? >> it's his birthday. >> thank you. coming up on this wednesday, he is oversaw the agency accused of leaving our veterans to die on a secret waiting list reportedly. so should the head of the veterans affairs step down? we have an update on that. and what do you call your in-laws? >> mr. dell dev. >> is it normal or nuts to still

out. >> rice is said to be considering that offer. we'll keep watching that story for you. the house of representatives is now inching closer to charging former irs official lois lerner with contempt charges. there is a meeting to consider that today. >> the way this looks, you know, it looks so political. a political process, pure and simple. aimed at trying to appeal to the red meat, throwing red meat to the political base. the facts don't seem to matter. nobody can find a scarier organization, i think, at least one without guns, than the irs. >> there could be a house vote today or tomorrow. we'll watch that story as well. here is a story that we're hearing a lot from you about. a father shows up at a school board meeting to express his concerns about a very risque novel his daughter was required to read, who is 14. watch what happens at the school board meeting.
>> what are you charging me with? >> disorderly conduct. >> disorderly conduct. >> okay. so what happened here? you see him there, he went over the two minutes that he was allowed to address the school board in new hampshire and he was arrested. the book in question is called "19 minutes." it has what's described as a, well, pretty rough teen sex scene. >> reads like a transcript for a triple x porno movie. we had no notice of it whatsoever. no written notice, nothing. >> okay. so what happens now? school officials say they plan to update their policies. but instead of allowing parents to opt out of their children reading this controversial material, parents will be forced to sign off on them. so basically no real change. the kids still have to read the stuff. >> more on that, let's bring in sean astin. >> he plays a dad in the movie
"moms night out" and in real life you have three children. >> i have try daughters. >> you've done everything. >> everything. >> what about that story, the guy goes past his two minute limit and they arrest him. >> you didn't show what he was like in that room, so i'm not sure about that. but the solution that the school came up with seemed reasonable. >> what would you do if that raiding was forced on your kids? >> i prepare my kid for anything going into it. no matter what they throw at her, i'm there to support her. but i like the idea that parents have to sign off on questionable material. >> how do you feel about, with you, cable, you have young kids, growing up, did you watch anything on line or watch anything you you want? >> we talked a little bit about it. but one thing is the kids are pretty self regulating. if there is something scary, they don't wants to watch it. or political, they don't wants to watch it, or news. that said, my feeling is i'm very liberal about what they watch as long as they know that i'm going to talk to them and we have to communicate for a long time afterward until i'm sure that they put things in the right place. my wife is very protective. she insulates them from a lot of stuff. it's like america. kind of a grab bag.
>> your wife in the movie needs a night out. >> yeah. >> i'm thankful for this because it sort of gets into the complexity and funny moments of moms have. they got to get away and the dads left to watch the kids. how did that go? >> you know what? this story is just kind of an unabashed look at life in america with christian families. sarah drew, who plays the mom, is gorgeous. she's in "gray's annot knee." she's having a moment where she needs support. my character, you got to find something to do. you've got to go out with your friends. and then, of course, me and the other dads get left with the awesome responsibilities of finding some ways to keep our children safe and entertain them. which is challenging. >> absolutely. when people see you on the street, you walked in, i said hi, rudy. but a lot of people say hey, goonies. when are they going to make a sequel? >> the director made some comment about how it was happening. if it is happening, it will be
nice to know about it. >> this is the first you've heard about it? >> yeah. right here. do you have anything else to tell me? >> i'm ready to negotiate your deal. >> how about this? rudy goes pro and we put you on the vikings. >> why the vikings of all teams? this is mother's day weekend. my wife, we're doing whatever we can to figure out how to give my wife, our mom, something beautiful to do. taking your kids and your family to see "moms night out" is a lovely thing to do. it's a sweet, fun, family film. people are saying we wish there was a film that reflects our values. this does. >> we find it everywhere? >> yeah. 1100 screens. it's big. >> it's wide! america, go see this! >> for kids as well? >> dads will like it. >> it's a ready made thing. dads will like this because they'll see, you see what you're like?
moms will see, you don't understand. >> they'll say, that's sean astin, he's great in everything. >> happy birthday. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we'll be watching. coming up. >> a fox news alert. the u.s. jumping into the search for hundreds of kidnapped girls. we are live from the white house with the brand-new details on that. guy fieri is here. find out what he's cooking up and if sean wants a bite. >> delicious. ♪ ♪ starts with back pain... ...and a choice.

>> reporter: we are in. good morning, brian, steve, and allegation. president obama has adequate in media interviews he can only imagine what these parents of the abducted girls are going through. nearly 300 of them taken from their schools, teenage girls taken from their school on april 15 by an islamic extremist group. now that nigeria has agreed to accept help, president obama says the u.s. will do, quote, everything we can. >> we've already sent in a team to nigeria. they've accepted our help, a combination of military, law enforcement, and other agencies who are going in trying to identify where, in fact, these girls might be and to provide them help. >> reporter: haram is the group that says it took the girls and translated, that means, quote, western education is sinful. their leader says allah told him to sell the girls. while the white house says the u.s. has sent military advisors
to nigeria, there is no plan to send combat troops. >> we're not considering at this point military resources. we would urge nigeria to insure that any operation to free the girls would protect civilians and human rights. >> reporter: as far as any f.b.i. resources being sent to nigeria, that's still being sorted out. a senior federal law enforcement source says the elite hostage rescue team has not been sent to nigeria at this point. brian? >> i know the british are helping out as well. hopefully we'll find some answers. thanks a lot. we'll talk to you again. on a much lighter note, guess who is here. guy fieri, one of the most famous faces in grill something here. first let's check in with another famous face, martha mccallum for what's going on on her show at the top of the hour. hemmer pretends like he has pull. but you make all the decisions. >> nicely done. happy birthday. >> thank you. >> we're going to hear from john boehner this morning and we

>> you are warming up, guy. >> this is fine for me. i'm from northern california. i know a little bit of chilly. >> grilling time. what is the number one thing people screw up? pork chops. why? they overcook them. and they don't treat them right the first time. let's talk about the first thing which is called a brine. warm waters, sugar, peppercorn, thyme, chile flake. pour it in. this brine. this is a double cut chop. we're good on the sugar. it's equal parts of salt and sugar. we drop these chops in and what we'll let them do is sit in the brine from two to eight hours. just depends on the thickness. >> plan ahead. >> exactly. when they come out of the brine, what's going to happen is we're going to make a little pocket on the inside of this chop. remember the trick with the banana when you were a kid where you put it inside the banana?
and then unpeel it and it was cut in half? this is the same thing here. we if in with the knife. we cut inside this chop just with a small incision. >> after you take it out of the brine? >> exactly. now we're ready to stuff. now i got peppers and onions. we're going to mix that in right here with some provolone. give it a little stir. >> brian is having a pork chop birthday. >> we do this osmosis. now we grab this mixture of peppers, onions, proscitto. we got this all stuffed. we take it over to the grill. here is the key. let's make sure that when we take it to the girl -- >> it doesn't spill out. >> look at her go. i can just take off now. you got this.
>> this recipe -- here is the idea. we're grilling it on both sides and then what happens, right when we gets done? we'll set it over here, let it rest for a little bit and we're done. >> i know you're the pro. who do we have here? >> you're going to pull me away from this? >> 30 seconds. >> french toast. everybody loves it. the key to great french toast, we have a mixture of eggs and cream and little bit of vanilla and cinnamon. the key is when you get done with the french toast, brown sugar, butter, chopped apple the, calvadose. wait a second. let's do this right. right over the top. top that french toast. we have the recipes. this is inspired by my kids. we have a little whip cream on top. >> go gets his book. >> guy on fire. >> go to his house. he has good food. more "fox & friends" in just a moment. new car!

the fox reporter, rosen. >> well, this morning the fox reporter rosen responds to that stunning admission by our top law officer. >> can't wait to meet that rosen guy. and the husband of a democratic candidate caught red handed. >> those aren't your signs. >> there's no -- >> there's no what. >> there's no name on this sign. >> yes there are. right here. property of the republican party. >> the rest of that tape and the name on those signs straight ahead because mornings are better with friends. unless you're that guy. >> hey, you're watching fox and friends. bam! boom! >> welcome aboard folks live in studio e. it's fox and friends. we got anna with us. >> good morning everybody. >> glad to have you. we have enough enemies in this
world. it's amazing how we're talking about our friends. you would think we would save verbiage like this for our enemies. according to a senior obama administration benjamin netanyahu is chicken blank. you talk about tensions between our best ally maybe on the planet but in the middle east where does that come from? >> it's so extraordinary that that sort of talk goes on at the white house and you have to wonder who exactly said that. the white house couldn't possibly like that unless they feel like that. jen had an exchange at the department of state with a reporter about you are going to apologize aren't you. >> you don't feel a need for an apology because this was said by an anonymous official rather than let's say the vice president saying something about turkey or saudi arabia in which he makes a phone call to apologize for. >> well, obviously every
circumstance is different. i have been clear and the secretary will be clear when he speaks to netanyahu next that that doesn't represent our views. >> she says it would be a waste of time to figure out who said this and to apologize. it doesn't make any sense. the other piece that struck me from the piece by goldberg was the biggest frustration and the biggest person the white house is frustrated with is benjamin netanyahu. it's not kim jong un or vladimir putin. how do they spin it? you spat with the people that you love the most. >> i think that it's very clear to everyone that the united states and israel are key allies. they are, you know, bond together in the middle east and so the frustration i think you're sensing steve is why isn't the administration more angry at the north koreans or the russias et cetera, but it's when you have a close friend or
a husband or lover that you're frustrated with them that you see this kind of out cry. >> i get it and that's fine if you didn't read the last article but they go into detail about all the problems we have with our loved one. he's a small timer that's the pay your of jerusalem that doesn't have the guts to bomb iran even though we begged him not to a couple of years ago. >> the part about that is the juicy part. we talked netanyahu out of taking out iran. he followed our orders and now he's a chicken bleep? clearly the administration knows who said this. in fact, there's a real good possibility that our president said this about mr. netanyahu. >> i mean, come on if my lover called me a chicken you know what, that would be the last time in the barnyard. i'll tell you that right now. but are we showing our true colors about how we feel about benjamin netanyahu in israel.
remember this in 2008. he said i cannot bear netanyahu he's a liar and obama said you're fed up with him but i have to deal with him more often than you. >> there's a lot of ways you can describe benjamin netanyahu but as a guy that's chicken or not aggressive or a coward, did you see what just happened over the last six months. have you seen in the past what he has done? he's cracking down almost too hard. i thought that's why the world was so upset with him. >> they're not going to apologize and the white house does know who said it but what is interesting is if they were upset they would go after the leaker. they would try to figure out who exactly leaked that to the atlantic. we're going to talk a little bit shortly about how eric holder was asked about some regrets but ed henry is also talking about the whole thing of aren't you going to try to get to the bottom of this and he too, not very curious.
look. >> why then are you kind of fluffing off this idea that you kind of don't care who leaked that story -- that not might have but insulted the prime minister of israel. you have gone after reporters again and again in this administration to find out who leaked information to them and when it comes to insulting the prime minister you don't seem to care who leaked it. >> again i don't think that's an accurate reflection of the administration's policy. it's not an accurate reflection of our views. >> hasn't this department gone after all series of reporters. >> no, and they have put in measures to ensure that journalists in this country are able to do their job. >> so you don't seem curious because that's not how we feel however one thing is clear the defense minister came to this country to meet with our secretary of state and he was not able to get an appointment. i guess secretary of state kerry was all booked up. >> one of the reporters they're
talking about are james rosen. turns out holder regrets that subpoena and here's how james rosen responds to all of this. the attorney general's latest comments about my case like his previous remarks scarcely address the relevant facts of his conduct. >> in this case they don't have to go after the reporter because they know who said it to the reporter probably and they probably feel like that anyway. the thing that eric holder did say though i think i could have been a little more careful looking at the language in the filing regarding james rosen and when you take a look at what was in the language the fbi claimed that rosen had perhaps opened the law. he was either an aider or abettor or coconspiritor and they grabbed his e-mail a couple of years after and suddenly people are saying you can't do
that. unfortunately during this administration, not so much. >> we just want journalists to be able to do their jobs. how about when you start going after their parents. remember that? >> james's parents in staten island. >> yeah, they have always been a problem in this country. >> yes eric holder. >> a lot of people have been complaining about his parents. it's good they cracked down on them from the white house. >> it's good he has regrets. >> i don't have regrets tossing it over. >> i have a show down to tell you about taking place in maine this hour. police troopers in front of her house. we're talking about the nurse that treated ebola patients in west africa. she is now thumbing her nose at officials there that want her quarentineed. her civil rights are being violated since she tested negative for the disease. she defied that by stepping outside of her home to speak to officials. state officials are looking to
get a court order to force her to stay inside. >> while you were sleeping the husband of a democratic state senator was wide awake at this hour that he was busted stealing republican campaign signs at 4:00 in the morning. police are releasing an arrest warrant. >> those aren't your signs bud. >> there's no -- >> there's no what. >> there is no name on these signs. >> yes they are. look right here. property of the republican party. >> we got you brother. we got your license plate, your face and everything. >> oh my gosh. what is it high school or something? >> well, long faces a year in prison and a $2300 fine despite his denial. >> it may be just a preview of the presidential election. former florida governor jeb bush taking a swipe at hilary clinton that said that businesses don't create jobs. >> this last week i saw something that was breathtaking,
a former secretary of state that was campaigning in massachusetts where she said that don't let them tell you that businesses create jobs. >> well bush says economic growth creates companies and that leads to more jobs. >> and the giants winning the third world series in just five seasons. >> popped up. sandoval, in foul territory, giants win. >> wow, the final score, 3-2. >> thousands packing the streets after the game. but before it was the opera singer that stole the show. ♪ and the home of the brave

23 of the fortune 500 ceos are women. but for basically a houseware store like the container store having a vast majority of our leadership as women is great. we love men too. we have great men leaders as well. >> i love your store. you have things i've never seen before. it's easy to go in there and go down each and every aisle. one of the interesting things is you are like a lot of other businesses able to pay your employees about double the minimum wage. we have a graphic here and you also do something with your employees. that is you really train them how to be in the store. that way you don't just hire somebody and say put on an apron. they know everything about your business. >> nothing worse than working at a retail store trying to help customers when you aren't well trained or you don't know what the products are about. the only reason a corporation
exists is to maximize the return of the shareholder. and we're like okay the best way to do that is hire great people, train them well, pay them well and they will take better care of your customers than anybody else and if your employees are exstatic and shareholders will be as well. our philosophy is one great person can easily do the business productive of three people and customers and fellow employees and the company all thrive by having great people well trained and well paid and look forward to coming to work in the morning. >> and they'll stick with you when your making nearly double what the national average is. you guys play your employees on average $50,000 as opposed to the national average of less than $24,000. also something interesting is you and your wife work together. you say it works great for you and it's almost like the way people used to work on farms 200 years ago. >> well it's unusual today.

these people is a good idea i'm going to pull the plug on you. >> when you report the news, when you report the reality the people in charge want to shut you down. >> he didn't let up did he? this morning even more fall out. >> oh, boy.

issue. first off for people outside that associate with green berets the movies, what do you do? >> we specialize in unconventional warfare. we go into places behind the scenes and create stability and defense and diplomacy. >> you go to the eye of the storm. so out of the entire army, 1% get to be green berets and it takes two years to train you guys. >> it does. there's 6500 green berets and we're around the world doing the country's business. >> if you have a job that that's intense and rewarding that shows immediate gratification especially fighting for a country how could you possibly match that in the civilian world. when you're home you're just like everybody else. >> you still have the skills. we were all selected for a reason. we're can do.
we're positive thinkers. we can go into situations and sort them out. those are the kind of people that american businesses would love to have. >> i agree with you but do you realize that when you come home? how do we transition you from the face paint world to our world? >> we have a process called the next bridge line. we have green beret and business mentors that take you and repurpose you and make you adapt to the civilian world just like the combat situation. >> so you get google and say get that linked in profile going. get your resume going. start making contacts. this is how you present yourself and this is what you do. living with insurgence might not be what morgan stanley needs. he was honored at the dinner i was privileged to be at. here's what he said about what you guys do. >> when president kennedy helped form the green berets they knew they would be needed.
the values and principles that make you go into harm's way willingly are great american traits. the people in this room particularly the green berets have my greatest respect because they're prepared to risk everything for an idea and that idea is called america. >> what do you think? >> it was a great speech. his wife spoke as well. part of behind the green beret is a great wife and family that supports them as well. we want to participate in america too. we want to come home and be great americans. >> and some of you getting pink slips in battle right now aren't you? >> i think so. the draw down in the military. this lust just to come down to a normal size is effecting everybody and we've had several green beret officers get pink slips in the battlefield. >> it's so unacceptable it's beyond words. how can we get involved?
>> see us at green beret foundation org. and all the money go to support the green berets and their families. >> thank you so much. great to see you in person. coming up straight ahead they're in the country illegally and casting ballots at the polls. crash test dummies are packing on pounds. can you believe it? first happy birthday to ivanka trump. she's 33 and so much smarter than me.

yeah it's all about the photograph. it's your shot of the morning. the president of the united states that hates photo ops, addressing the nation about ebola along side health care workers and doctors still in the incubation period. they could still potentially still present ebola symptoms but i would imagine before they went into that room at the white house they probably all got a temperature check. >> you would hope they had some type of screening. i had somebody tweet me the other day, we're asking who should be in charge of the guidelines? the white house, the military, the governors. i had somebody tweet me that said if they're so comfortable let them spend the night at the white house. i don't think they're going to
be spending the night. >> it was amazing to see him so angry yesterday. we're just careful. if you have a kid and someone just came back within 20 days of dealing with ebola patients. have my 25-year-old give him a hug. no, wait 21 days. you have to be sure. we all just watched this. it's not being fearful. it's just being smart. and we'll talk about this in more detail in 25 minutes but it's democratic governors and mayors. >> look at the state of california. they instituted a 21 day ebola period. you come back from west africa, you have been in contact with people you have so sit in your house 21 days, three weeks. 27 minutes before the top of the hour. >> have other news to bring you right now. you know the rookie cop you told you about attacked by a terrorist swinging a hatchet in new york city, he's now out of the hospital this morning. he faces weeks of physical therapy before he's able to go
back on the beat. he and three other cops were attacked last week by a man with ties to islamic extremist happening at a subway stop in new york city and he was cheered on by so many fellow officers as he got out of the hospital. welcome home. >> well, they are calling it the smoking gun. stunning evidence that illegal immigrants are voting in the state of maryland. four people from frederick county are now suing the state. they want a judge to intervene before tuesday's election. the group says that thousands that stated they were not u.s. citizens tried to get out of jury duty but they went ahead and voted in elections since 2006. >> this is massive voter fraud. ththis is a national story. this is the smoking gun. we have formal documentation never been done before. >> well, republicans says this makes a strong case for a voter i.d. law in that state. he'll push for one in the section session. remember the chaos at the keen
pumpkin festival? >> so if you think that inciting these people is a good idea i'm going to pull the plug on you. >> when you report the news. when you report the reality the people in charge want to shut you down. >> oh, well, that reporter nearly getting shutdown by the festival's organizer as drunken college kids spark the violent riots. police just announcing they have now arrested three more teenagers charging them with reckless conduct. more than 80 were arrested in that all together. >> and this is the shot of a lifetime times four. nice, a senior at ryan college in tennessee making four straight shots in 30 seconds

contact with the public. >> right now a police car is sitting outside her house. so do they have the right, the state, to arrest her if she leaves? let's talk to the judge. judge, the thing about this woman that freaked people out was when she came to newark airport. they did that scanner thing. she had a 101 reading on that device and later tested negative for ebola but was on her radar. >> that's why she was released from a tent in the parking lot in the downtown newark. >> but that's why she was confined to the tent because she had a 101 temperature. >> accept that's an insufficient basis to confine someone under the law. the presumption of liberty. we're all presumed to be free in america. she does not have to prove that she is not contagious. rather the state has to prove that she is contagious. now she may have some
professional obligation consistent with maine haw as a licensed health care professional to comply with professional guidelines but as an american citizen she cannot be confined against her will unless and until a judge decides that, in fact, she is contagious. >> under the 10th amendment don't states have the right to protect the welfare and safety and health of the people. >> yes they do. that's the area of the constitution that says all the powers that the states gave the federal government that's all we gave and the rest we retain. traditionally health, safety, wealth or informal ration is retained by the state. >> but they feel it's within the safety of the state to have her confined. >> that's subject to everything in the constitution that says you're presumed free. the burden is on the state to show it. if they want to test her blood to see if she's carrying the disease. they can do that against her will but they would still have to demonstrate to a judge with
her lawyers there resisting this demonstration that, in fact, she's contagious. she cannot be quarantinedbecausd in africa. she cannot be quarantined because she has a fever or they think or feel she is contagious. >> the way i remember the 10th amendment, all of that stuff, my daughter the law school student sent me a bunch of stuff regarding this. >> wait a minute, you went to your daughter to double check my research. >> no, i wanted to have the counter argument. >> i'm happy to be challenged. >> my daughter told me if the states want to enforce this they can't be oppressive about it.
she is staying in a house so they confine her to that it would be reasonable. >> what would be oppressive and unreasonable is to confine her without any evidence. confine her just on the basis of where she had been. again, the exception to this is if she agreed as a nurse, licensed in maine, to comply with certain maine-generated guidelines for health care workers and if those guidelines say you should self-quarantine they can do that but they have to prove she is in fact contagious. >> this is just going to keep going on and on and on. >> and she's clear. she wants to leave the house today. >> god bless her. >> he is written about the legal fall out of ebola at washington times.com. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> what do you think about the nurse? is she being selfish or just defending her rights? e-mail us and send us a message on facebook or twitter and we'll read them in about ten minutes.

a new breed of terror could pose the biggest threat the united states has ever seen. it's called cyber terror and an attack would wreak havoc on banks, expose classified government information and put american lives in danger. so are we prepared here at home? here to explain is kurt the cyber guy. good morning. >> good to see you. we're not prepared. and i think this country should be very concerned about the level of cyber security and how firm our borders as it relates to -- i think we talk about isis and the fear that they actually have an attack op u.s. soil, set that aside because the bigger threat is a cyber attack from anywhere in the world back on u.s. soil. let me talk about one example
that is already happened. we turned a blind eye to it. but we need o wake up to this. the office of homeland security has a contractor that in august admitted to the fact that they had been hacked. this is the company, the defense contractor that is responsible for vetting every one of the government employees who work for the office of homeland security, especially those officers and border protection, the officers at tsa officers, and 20,000 records of these people, including their home address, their families' names, their past history is out on the open. >> all exposed? >> what do we do? >> we see that and go that's just terrible. but let's do the math here. you're a mexican drug lord making billions of dollars trafficking drugs around the world and your biggest problem has been getting across the border in the southern part of the u.s. across texas. well, what would you pay as a mexican drug lord how many millions of dollars would you pay for access to those agents'
personal details? if i were up with of those agents, i would feel betrayed by the u.s. government at this very moment, especially by this contractor and it's just sloppy and must stop. >> the next idea you have for us is hackers wanting to gain control of banks. is this something that is happening -- >> jpmorgan chase is the big one we talked about so far the last couple of months. they've already spent now $3 billion towards security. then they've learned their lesson so far, but they're not remotely there in terms of sealing up the u.s. financial system. so we've talked about our dangers of hacking into banks. well, imagine the fact that now banks -- here is a type of scenario that's absolutely real. hackers are quiet and they have been inside of systems for not just weeks, but many times months. it gives them a chance to understand the systems so that they can get in and do an attack. now, one group of hackers may say, we're just out for money.
another group could actually have ill intentions for not just the u.s. economy, but the global economy. let me tell you the scenario, 'cause this is very real. a group of hackers right now could do one attack where they simply go in and control the trading of any one bank, moving billions of dollars in a matter of a few minutes before it triggers and it stops it. you've now caused some serious concern. simultaneously, they do what's called a denial of service attack on the bank's web sites and also at the atm level, they can just have those disabled for a certain period of time before the bank can catch up with that. >> that could create like a run on the bank? >> what it can create is let's say we go down to the atm, it's not working, so we go in to the bank and they're like, our systems are down. we trio log on to the web site and that's down. you go, wait a second. where is my money? >> you've got great information there. just go to the cyberguy.com. thanks so much.

or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. transferred money from his before larry instantly bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement.

ebola patients in west africa. >> nurse hickox refuse to go self quarantine and health officials in maine are promising legal action. >> you're not going to believe this. doug luzader has got it and he's why hickox is getting a lot of support from the white house. but not a lot of support elsewhere, doug. >> reporter: good morning. a lot of anger in the public about her response to this. casey hickox says she's being bullied by politician, that there is no scientific reason to keep her quarantined. it looks like she may try to violate that quarantine and launch a legal battle in the process. here is what she's now saying: i'm not willing to stand here, she says, and let my civil rights be violated when it's not science based. state officials, though, may now seek a court order to force her to stay inside her home to run out the clock on ebola's 21-day incubation period. >> we have been trying to work cooperatively with her.
there are concerns about the lack of reliability and the lack of trustworthiness and the information that has been received. >> reporter: while hickox has received a great deal of criticism for her unwillingness to quarantine, president obama has largely agreed with her sentiment, saying returning healthcare workers should not automatically face a quarantine. >> we need to call them what they are, which is american heros. they deserve our gratitude and they deserve to be treated with dignity and with respect. >> but at the same time, there is a discrepancy here because you have the pentagon and this new policy that requires all service members returning from west africa to observe a 21-day quarantine just in case. the white house, meantime, says that the country's new ebola czar, ron klain, a guy we really haven't heard from up to this point, and he's going to the cdc in atlanta today to talk about the nation's response to ebola.
back to you guys. >> thank you very much. the military and also the white house is saying the people in the military, they're not volunteers, so they're going to have to do the quarantine. wait a minute. they are volunteers. we've got a volunteer army for decades. >> we certainly do. when the president said they should be treated like hero, of course they should. they have these huge hearts, amazing healthcare workers going over there. but when they come back, they continue to sacrifice and stay quarantined for three weeks. they've made a big sacrifice. can we extend it a little bit long tore keep the american people safe? >> judge napolitano is here and believe it or not, he thinks she has a case in saying her freedom -- her right to be free has been violated. >> you're presumed free. again, the burden is on the state to show it. look, if they want to test her blood to see if she's carrying this disease, they can do that against her will. but they would still have to demonstrate to a judge with her lawyers there resisting this
demonstration that in fact she's contagious. she can not be quarantined just because she's a nurse and worked in western africa. she can not be quarantined because she has a fever. she can not be quarantined because they think or fore she's contagious. she can only be quarantined against her will if she is contagious. >> the doctor in new york that was running all over t when he landed october 12, he was fine. then he got ebola the next week. i hope she's fine and i hope next week she's fine. but what is wrong with showing us the same compassion and interest that she showed the people of africa? why not be responsible? seven out of ten respondents in this abc poll said she should be restricted to home quarantine for 21 days. our own military says and families want that had to happen. our army did it. so why is that good enough for them? they're not complaining. why is the president going to bat for her?
>> we've had other lawyers on the channel since the story broke saying the opposite of what the judge is saying, that the state has an obligation to keep its residents safe. >> sure. >> a lot of our viewers on facebook are saying some of the same things. >> sherry was typing a while ago and said she, the nurse, has the right to refuse, but has the responsibility to comply. >> an e-mail, laura says, i applaud the compassion she shows for sick people around the world. i firmly believe she should show that same level of concern for her fellow countrymen and stay home for the remaining 21 days. >> john tweets, why is she better than the family in texas that were under mandated quarantine? >> excellent point. and the judge brought this up. doesn't she have a professional obligation? she could be wrong. the test could be wrong. why not just sit there? there are people in maine who are freaking out about this. there are a bunch of people, i was reading the local people up
there -- who said we've given up surgery. we're going to have elective surgery. we're not going to have it because she might have been there. she wasn't there. there is no evidence that there is any ebola up there, but that's one of the reasons why this panic that has set in with some in maine is why the state is saying that if she leaves, we're going to arrest her. >> the president brings up fear. it's not fear, it's being responsible and smart. heather nauert is here and she's going to have more news, including what's going on with gitmo. >> this is quite a story. no surprise here. a fox news alert, former gitmo detainees reportedly back on the battlefield fighting for isis in syria. just moments ago, sources confirming to "fox & friends" that dozens of detainees who were released within the last two to three years may have joined the terror network. sources say of the 620 detainees that have been released from gitmo, 180 of them have returned to the fight all around the

>> caught red handed. let's take you out to chicago. democrat there, apparently what leslie did was, they offered followers on facebook -- she that, is to say -- the opportunity, if you go vote and we don't care who you vote for, we'll give you a gift card either for wall green, starbucks or pot belly, stuff like that. that's vote buying. >> free sandwiches sandwiches a. the board of elections said this is not okay. she's since apologized and said it was well-intentioned. >> still illegal. >> i remember in eighth grade the guy running for president was offering a bazooka gum and he was kicked out. he's not president today. in illinois, something else happened that's kind of interesting, too. they're aware -- see this video now of people actually voting for one candidate and the other candidate gets voted for. they're trying to vote for the republican. watch this. and it pops up the other name.
people have complained about this in the past and now we're witnessing it. >> this one guy said he voted in moline on october 27 and saw the problems on the news, but then shocked it happened to him. some people who watch this on youtube think his fingernail is accidentally touching it. >> both those stories are in the great state of illinois, which the president reminded people about a couple days ago. >> one week from today you get to choose a new governor. and because early voting runs through this friday you don't have to wait until election day. you can vote all week! i mean, you can only vote once. this isn't chicago now. >> that's funny.
>> fantastic. >> also, la raza, the hispanic amnesty group, what they did was on their web site, they linked to a "washington post" story that showed people where you can vote, which of the 50 states you can vote in without an i.d. >> because the courts are struggling with it. evidently you need i.d. to do everything in this country, including to get in this building or to fly on a plane, but the big debate is, are you racist if you demand i.d. from everyone? while that's locked up in the courts, there is directions on where to go to show up without i.d. >> is the "washington post" promoting voter fraud or just doing a public service? >> 20 states don't require i.d. >> they put it out there, but this immigration group tweeted it and then la raza retweeted it and it wasn't just nonpartisan. it had the hash tag to turn out the democrat hash tag.
>> on this thursday, you answered governor mike huckabee's rallying cry. you saw it here. >> send her your sermons. and here is another thought, everybody watching the show ought to send her a bible. >> now houston's mayor with her demand to get pastors sermon, but he's not done. >> that groom's grand gesture is about to go really, really wrong. we promise you'll want to see what happened. >> i do. ♪ ♪ when the game's on the line. okay patrick, let's go base, shark, blitz. the nfl trusts duracell quantum to their game day communication. abort! abort! he's keeping it. duracell quantum. lasts up to 35% longer than the competition.

after much contemplation and discussion, i am directing the city legal department to withdraw the subpoenas issued to the five houston pastors. >> the mayor of houston back off her controversial bid to subpoena pastors sermons. >> tear no coincidence that americans answered a call from governor huckabee to send her their sermons and their bibles. and joining us right now from santa rosa beach down in florida is the governor himself. good morning to you, mike. >> good morning. >> we were talking about this case a week or so ago where because she is trying to defend
houston's equal rights ordinance, she was asking for all the sermons from all the pastors and anything that regarded her as well. there is this little thing, the separation between church and state we hear about all the time and religious liberty and we talked about it and you were furious. >> i was, steve. i'll tell you why, because government has no business demanding of pastors that they cough up their sermons or their correspondence with church members to satisfy some government official who is unhappy and upset because somebody dared challenge the way that she heavy handedly stopped an election. a lot of people don't seem to understand, this is about the mayor overruling the city clerk who had certified the petitions and said there was going to be an election to overturn this transgender ordinance and the mayor just decided, no, we're not going to have an election. i'll just say that those signatures weren't valid. this is an outrage.
it's the kind of thing that ought to scare the daylights out of people all over the country, not just houston. >> part of the equal rights ordinance would have allowed 40-year-old men to share restrooms with a fourth grade girl which didn't make a lot of sense. the pastors stood up for it. you feel like the mayor isn't going far enough. you'd like a personal apology. >> i think she not only needs to issue an apology, but she needs to declare that there will be an election, that the people have a right to vote on it. if they lose the election, that's one thing. but for her to arbitrarily decide that she is going to overrule the city clerk, anna russell, who has been in office for 42 years, and decide that what she certified is not right and the mayor and the city attorney decide arbitrarily that they're going to say there won't be an election? this is really at the very heart of america. we have a right to vote. we have a right to have our views held. i think this mayor is on quicksand, not on solid rock constitutionally. she knows it, but it's not
enough for her to say she's withdrawing the subpoenas. that's just a small part of the outrageous behavior that she has done in trampling over the religious liberty and constitutional rights of really all the citizens of houston. not just these pastors. >> governor, we're out of time. but you've already made a difference. let's see if you get that apology. i wouldn't be surprised if you get it before the day is done. thanks for getting up with us and good luck over the weekend. >> great to be with you. next on our show, cosmo magazine using these guys to get college girls to vote, but only if it's a democratic vote. >> we love women, suffrage and amendment 15. ♪ now we got the power to choose ♪ ♪ know what i mean ♪ your vote is your voice ♪ your vote is your voice ♪ u-s-a ♪ u-s-a why do people count on sunsweet amazin prune juice to stay fit on the inside?

that you put out there. you've been parodying different shows and things in pop culture for quite some time. why did you decide to do this? >> first, it comes from a research-based background. all of these ads are the result of our findings in 2013 which say millenials are tuning out politics as usual. typical political ad that you're going to see, millenials won't pay attention to it. so we knew we'd have to regenerate it, the generation that decided the last presidential election. the generation our party needs o reach if we want to win another national election. we started parodying television shows. we've tested this in several elections and settings and it works. it works by having higher engagement rates than your typical commercial. young people i think find it to be creative and a good way to reach them. we found that in our focus groups when we tested say yes to the dress, which is one of the most popular television shows among this demographic. >> you have to know your audience. as you mention, the support for
democrats from millenials certainly dwindling. we have a poll for that of people who are definitely going to vote. if we can go ahead and show that 18 to 29-year-olds, they say they will definitely be voting next week. they plan to support republicans by a margin of 51-47%. cosmo, on the other hand, they didn't like what you did. but they think it's a great idea to have a bus taking people they hope are voting for democrats with this. watch. >> we love women suffrage ♪ ♪ and amendment 15 ♪ now we got the power to choose ♪ ♪ know what i mean ♪ your vote is your voice ♪ your vote is your voice ♪ u-s-a ♪ u-s-a >> this condescending? how is it not in say yes to the dress is? >> i am still floored by the hypocrisy of all of this. we take a well-researched product, put it out on line to our generation, written by myself and the other female
staffers in our office and cosmo criticizes us for it. but then go ahead and with neustontive messaging behind it, basically parade out half naked males on campus and say that's what's going to drive young women to the polls. it shows how out of touch they are with young voters. i mean, a bunch of half naked males is not going to make north carolina students forget about 18.8% unemployment in their state that's caused by barak obama and kay hagin's policies. it's not going to make them forget about the average $23,000 of student loan debt that they owe as a result of president obama and kay hagin's refusal to pass meaningful higher education reform. >> or where the jobs are going to come from once they graduate. >> absolutely. >> we appreciate your time. thanks so much. >> thank you so much. 28 minutes after the hour. coming up on "fox & friends," this is video of f.b.i. agents tricking their way into a vegas hotel room to bust up an illegal betting ring. but is it legal? plus, she's all grown up and

>> that's the lead story on "red eye" tonight. >> i love it. i have other news to bring you. no word yet if california governor jerry brown will attend the funeral of those deputies who were allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant in california. the suspect had been deported four times, but still managed to get back into the united states. the governor has been very vocal about the rights of illegals. he says he still hasn't decided if he'll personally attend those funerals. this comes as two of the aunts of one of the officers delivers a message to president obama. listen. >> i'm not even sure, i don't even know if i can be kind because i think his words would fall on deaf ears. i don't think i can handle him saying he's sorry. >> memorial services for davis and the other officer killed, deputy danny oliver, will take place next week. it is an unbelievable insult from the department of veterans affairs.

shoulder. instead, he's like i'm going down and i know exactly the cushion i'll use. usually you -- right away? you got to protect the bride. >> i'm going to stick up for the groom and say it was all the tulle under her dress. >> very kissinger like. >> see you later. >> it's now time for weather with maria molina. >> good morning. at least they went down together, right? >> yeah. >> but only one person felt the pain and it was the woman in white. >> hopefully that cushion did work out well for her. let's look at the weather map. we do have some cooler air moving into portion of the great lakes and the northeast. highs widespread in the 50s and 40s. across the plains, not bad. temperatures in the 80s and 70s across texas and parts of oklahoma. as far as rain goes, a very quiet day across parts of the east coast. we have a system move through. those showers are offshore. so we are expecting a lot of sunshine out there. across the pacific northwest,

it's a fun, cool way of teaching kids about how to be safe on halloween. >> where do we start? >> you can go to kidsmart org.com and it's a cool tool kit that you can download that teachers can download to help encourage and empower kids about their safety. >> check first, make sure you're trick or treating with a friend and mom. say no and find help. what scenario is that? >> sorry. >> say no and find help. >> yes. there are four safety rules that this organization or this program is teaching the kids how to be safe. >> how to be kid smart. >> yeah. >> tia, thank you very much for stopping by. >> thank you. coming up on this show in the 20s minutes we have left in this hour, this is video of f.b.i. agents pretending to be

analyst, but good morning. is it legal? that's a huge, huge question and the people who are arrested, part of this international gambleing prostitution ring, says the government broke the law by sneaking in to the caesar's palace villa to get evidence about an illegal gambling ring. what they did was, caesar's palace shut down the internet connection. these folks allegedly said, we need computers. we need equipment. we need one lines, we need the internet. >> if you're in a hotel and ask for that stuff, that's a red flag. >> $25,000 a night villas, so they're entitled to that stuff. so then caesar's palace says gaming commission, hey, f.b.i., we think there is something going on. these people are competing with us at caesar's palace. let's shut this down. so the f.b.i. and the gaming commission go in making believe that they're internet repair people from the hotel and based on that, go get a search warrant. when they got the search warrant, they didn't tell the
judge that they had snuck in there in order to allegedly repair it. they need to repair it because they're the folks that broke it. so the federal government is saying no. we had consent to go in. we had consent to go in because it was a ruse. people are saying this is a violation of the fourth amendment. >> what do you think? >> fell the truth to the judge. they should have said to the judge, this is what happened. this is how we found out. this is what we do. but the problem is, the problem is the federal judge said that's all nice and good, but i'm not giving you a search warrant. that's the problem in america. >> that's when they dressed up -- >> illegal ring, we don't want illegal rings. shut them down. but you can do it under the law. >> here is what one of the defense attorneys said, quote, if this court recognizes this due policity, the government will be free to employ schemes to enter the houses of innocent
people. they will have no -- >> i think they screwed up. i don't think that's the norm of the f.b.i. or gaming commission. unfortunately we're seeing stuff like this around the country. the seattle times ap, there is an issue there with regard to using malware, or spyware. that's where stuff is sent to your computer when you click on. they can find out what your accounts and what you're doing. apparently they did that to catch a bomb threat suspect in the seattle area. so they sent a fake story that showed that person's name in it and they thought they'd click on and use as malware or spyware to find their location. the f.b.i. says this is a closer call and i think i'm for the f.b.i. in this one. they say in certain cases, if there is a threat and here is a bombing suspect, someone who may be bombing schools, we need to find out where this person was and find them. so there is a narrow exception to the law in terms of an urgent
threat. but it's treading the line, too. the press has gone crazy about it and the a.p. has gone crazy. let's look at that one a little bit more. if we can stop a threat, then maybe sometimes, sometimes it's okay to impersonate a reporter. >> so once they got it right, once they got it wrong. >> yeah. close call on the second one. >> peter johnson, jr., traditional analyst. >> legal analyst. i'm not on the bench yet. but i've been on the couch. >> living room. >> thank you. coming up, he made more money for a crime family than anybody since al capone and then suddenly he found god. ex-colombo captain here with his unbelievable story. first on this date in 1964, "baby love" by the supremes, number one. ♪ all do you is treat me bad ♪ break my heart and leave me

bible through the door. it fell on the floor. i heard that thump. when i first saw it i was angry. i was mad at god. you're in that situation and you blame everybody but yourself. eventually i picked it up and spent three years really studying my faith and for me, christianity is rock solid. what's happened in my life afterwards has to indicate that there is something to it because i shouldn't be here. >> as people watch this movie, this "god the father" and watch the news clips from the actual time line of when you were doing really bad things and the reenactments and even animations and all that, how do you think they will translate this for their own lives? if he was able to find jesus and be saved, how can i be? >> that's exactly it. for the past 15 years, i've been telling my story in churches and corporate events and colleges. i work with a lot of these gang bangers. i'm going to a high school when i leave here and speak to the kids. but it's encouragement. if i can come back from the

>> well, is this a sign he's jumping in? bush says economic growth creates companies and that in turn leads to more jobs. new jersey goff chris christie marking the second anniversary much super storm sandy when a war of words erupted with a guy in the crowd. he's holding up that sign that says, finish the job. he accuses christie of not doing enough to help storm victims who are still suffering. the governor then gives this guy a piece of his mind. >> i'll be more than happy to have a debate with you because something like you doesn't know a damn thing about what you're talking about except to show off when the cameras are here. i've been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work! you want to have the conversation later, i'm happy to have it, buddy. but until that time, sit down and shut up! >> there you have it. the guy he's talking to is james keady, a former democratic councilman from new jersey. he brought out a group called finish the job and that's been critical of the pace of rebuilding taking place in new jersey. isn't that refreshing?
whether or not you agree with his politics, it's refresh to go hear from a politician like that. >> you could say refreshing is a good word. unless it's you. can't wait to be in the audience next time. i have a sense he knew who he was. >> i'm sure. >> so i think he knew this guy is trying to make some political hay. >> but then again, he's dealt with people like that before. >> he certainly has. he's called out those hecklers in the past. >> thank you very much. let's talk about this. if you are -- you know jeffrey goldberg wrote an article regarding our relationship between those two men, bb netanyahu and the president of the united states. and according to a top barak obama administration official, there is a quotation and it is this: the thing about bb is he's a chicken something. well, when people heard that, given the fact that israel is one of our closest allies, people were saying, wait. people in the administration can't talk like that about our greatest ally in the middle
east. there is going to be an apology, right? >> well, apparently there is not going to be an apology. general -- jen tsaki says they're not investigating it. take a listen to this exchange with a reporter. >> you don't feel the need for an apology because this was said by an anonymous official rather than let's say the vice president saying something about turkey in which -- or saudi arabia, in which he makes a phone call to apologize for? >> well, obviously every circumstance is different. i think i've been clear and the secretary will be clear when he speaks with the prime minister netanyahu next, that doesn't represent our views. >> he said so much more than just that expletive. they say that he is essentially myopic, netanyahu said to people in the past, i am writing off the obama administration and plans to speak directly to congress from here on in. he's scared to death, like many of us, that we're going to sign a terrible deal with iran to
allow them to keep nukes. juan williams tried to rationalize last night. i give him an a for effort. >> i think ha it's very clear to everyone that the united states and israel are key allies. they are bound together in the middle east. so the frustration i think you're sensing, steve, is why isn't the administration more angry at the north koreans or the russians, et cetera, but it's when you have a close friend or a husband or a lover and you just are frustrated with them that i think you see this kind of outcry. >> okay. if you are married to somebody and calling them a chicken something like that, you got major problems. but the white house insists, and every spokesperson who was asked about this yesterday said look, you know, yeah, that's an accurate quote, but the relationship between the united states and israel has never been better. and it really sounds like it, doesn't it? >> if my lover called me a chicken you know what, that would be their last time in the barn yard.
that is for sure. the other thing that really struck me that i guess didn't make as big a headlines because the words weren't so spicy was that somehow bb is the biggest frustration and it's not kim jong-un and not vladimir putin. with everything we're dealing with right now, come on. >> it looks like they believe we're going to stop protecting them at the united nations because the whole world seems to be against them. this is bad. their secretary of defense came here and our secretary of state wouldn't meet with them. and we've known that they've said very abracesive things about john kerry. he could collect his nobel peace prize and leave us in peace. >> when you think about leaked stories, this is one of the biggest leaks that we've heard out of the white house and given the fact that it is so big, do you remember they went after james rosen, they we want after the a.p. >> rosen had it coming. >> according to the department of justice, maybe not. according to what eric holder said yesterday. but we've gone after the department of justice has -- the
leakers before, but why not after this particular one? that's a great question and that's what ed henry asked the white house yesterday. >> why then are you kind of sloughing off this idea that you kind of don't care who leaked that story that not might have, that insulted the prime minister of israel? you've gone after reporters again and again in this administration to find out who leaked information to them. then when it comes to insulting the prime minister, you don't seem to care who leaked it. >> again, i don't think that is an accurate reflection of the administration's policy and certainly isn't an accurate reflection of our views of the prime minister of israel. in fact, they've actually put in place measures under the leadership of the attorney general to insure that journalists in this country are able to do their job. >> remember the associated press? remember our james rosen? attorney general eric holder was just asked about his biggest regret. and the answer may surprise you. >> i think about the subpoena to
the fox reporter, rosen. >> here is -- >> he regrets that. >> he regrets the language in the subpoena. to remind you what was in that, what they did was the department of justice was investigating leaks regarding some north korea stuff. in the affidavit, they claim that rosen had broken the law either as an aider and abettor or a co-conspirator and even brought up the espionage act. all to rationalize why they went after james rosen's phone data, which now they say, we really shouldn't have done that. >> they're always up to no good, the rosen couple. so they looked into that. so this is as close as it's going to get to an apology, but not far enough. james rosen responded yesterday in a statement. suffice to say for now that the attorney general's latest comments about my case, like this, previous remarks scarcely address the relevant facts of
his conduct and he said nice things about roger ailes and fox news having his back. >> that's james rosen, not eric holder. >> exactly. >> he doesn't say anything nice about fox news. >> let us know what you think about those stories and we'll share some comments. here's is what's coming up, the nurse who treated ebola patients thumbing her nose at officials who want her to stay inside. but the people who live near her are thumbing their noses right back. wait 'til you hear when they're doing next. >> a lot of thumb nosing. and have you seen the new crash test dummy? he actually had abs. the one on the right doesn't. so embarrassed, he's wearing a poncho. why are they packing all the weight on the dummy, dummy? ♪ ♪ fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know certain cartoon characters should never have an energy drink?

risk having her medical license revoked. joining us right now is the founder of that petition, jamie gas d sky. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so you want her to stay in that house or lose her medical license. why? >> for the quarantine time. yes, because we don't want her possibly spreading this disease and endangering the lives of others, not just in our state, but everywhere else. >> she came outside and actually left the house, came out and said i'm healthy. and i'm not going to back down. i'm going to leave the house essentially and i know the state of maine is saying, we're going to go to court to keep you there. what's the reaction been from your neighbors regarding her there? >> i have actually got a lot of support on the web site for the petition. we actually on the actual petition site only asked for 1500 signatures. we exceeded that within 12 hours
time. >> sure. >> we are very afraid of her, just spreading the disease. we just want her to know that she is an rn, she should be knowing these things. >> do you feel like she has a professional obligation since she is a nurse to quarantine herself? >> yes. by not doing this, she is setting an example for other practitioners everywhere to just do what they want. >> right. but jamie, right now she says, i don't have a fever. i don't have any of the symptoms. i'm okay. i can't spread it. >> well, say that to the other soldiers that are being quarantined as well. everybody else is being quarantined for the 21 days. they had no symptoms or anything. they should be able to let go, too. what makes her different? >> you know what? there is a real good possibility she is watching this right now because she's there in that house with nothing else to do other than wanting to get out. what would your message be to her? >> our message would be that us mainors, i don't want her to feel like we don't want her
here, 'cause we do. it's just that we don't want her putting her wants and needs over the health and the safety of everybody else. we just want her to understand that we only want you to do this as a precaution, just to make sure that you're not spreading it and that everybody else is okay. >> all right. so so far your petition has ove. there is another one out there as well. there is a good possibility she's going to leave that house today. >> well, hopefully the governor will listen to our opinions. >> we'll see. all right. jamie, who started an on line petition to keep the nurse in the house in maine, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you. it's 19 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, is this what happens when we give up on our space program? yeah, that's not good. this morning brand-new details as to why that rocket blew up. then what's the big delay with the keystone pipeline?

how their portion of the pipeline has created a lot of jobs and to find out why its northern extension, the part we're talking about, still in limbo. >> the southern leg is done. the northern leg held up many times. who are the bigger players in keystone xl's debate and why is that same economic boost being denied to other states? take a look. >> the pipeline crossroads of the world lies right in america's heartland, cushing, oklahoma. >> oklahoma now has the fourth fastest gdp growth in the nation and the energy sector is a big boost to that. >> part of that boost comes from the partially complete keystone pipeline which began carrying oil 487 miles from kush to go refineries on texas' gulf coast in january. >> the southern leg provided some 4,000 american jobs.
everything from labor and trades, project managers, specialists and consultants. economic shot in the arm. >> with the stand still of the projects, the creation of more than 42,000 additional temporary jobs was installed. so why is the pipeline northern leg, keystone xl, still awaiting presidential approval? >> we've been waiting for six years for our state department to issue a permit and here we are missing out on this great opportunity for job creation, revenue creation, helping our national security or economic security and producing american made energy. >> in an exhaustive environmental study, the state department determined the pipeline would have a minimal impact on carbon emission. many environmentalists still say it's not worth the risk. >> this pipeline would cross 1400 american rivers, streams and lakes. we don't need to be putting our drinking water at risk. we need to be investing in the clean energy economy of tomorrow. >> but there is another kind of green in the equation. billionaire and anti-pipeline advocate, thomas dyer, is the
largest democratic donor of 2014. contributing some $42.9 billion. the super pac producing this 2013 anti-pipeline ad. >> to think that oh, that little old-fashioned. it would be good for the economy. >> but keystone isn't an evenly partisan fight. in fact, 19 democratic congressmen and 16 senators support the construction, as well as democratic governors from missouri and montana. so as witnessed to her state's own pipeline success story, oklahoma's governor is demanding the president's attention. what would you tell him? >> say, mr. president, please allow the state department to approve the keystone pipeline permit and let's get this nation moving. >> so they had thousands of jobs that were created, but many of those were temporary jobs and it has since slowed down since this other portion of the project has houston up. the house voted to approval the pipeline some eight separate
times. the white house says it's waiting for a legal battle in nebraska. >> no, no, they're waiting for the election. >> conveniently. it's been postponed 'til after the mid terms. >> the senate would vote for it, but harry reid won't put it up for a vote. there's a majority in the senate, it will be on the president's desk. coming up, they're in this country illegally and now new proof that they are casting ballots at the polls. the outrageous voting fraud exposed coming up. and charles krauthammer is here and looking into his midterm crystal ball next. ♪ ♪ ññ
next month joe biden is scheduled to make international stops in turkey, ukraine and morocco to discuss foreign policy issues while his advisors are learning how to say we're sorry in all three languages. >> all right. that was a quick look at what jimmy fallon had to say last night. with us right now, charles krauthammer author of "things that matter," sold over a million copies now. outstanding fox news contributor. congratulations on the book. but because of that, we have to use you often, early and often, to talk about what's happening, especially with the mid terms inside a week. if the white house is so unpopular, if the president so unpopular and his policies are on the line and he says everybody that's up in these red states votes with him, why is this even close? why is this too close to call on election day?
>> it shouldn't be close. it should be a run away. it should be obvious right now. there are a lot of knife-edged senate races. the main reason is that the perception is that republicans are the party of no. they've only had control of one house of congress for the last four years. when you only have control of one house, essentially you're a blocking mechanism. and that is the role of the opposition. so it's nothing against the republicans to say that they have been the ones to block i would say the overintrusive liberal agenda of obama. but none the less, it doesn't play well in an election. in 2016, if the gop captures a senate, it can develop an agenda, pass legislation in the house and senate, dare the president to exercise a veto, and then it will have an agenda for the country. >> you don't blame -- you're kind of tough on them a couple days ago. you said essentially you better win this, republicans, you'll never have a better opportunity. just looking at the field. you don't fault them for not
having a hard and fast agenda? >> because in our system, you can have it in a british or canadian parliamentary system where you have a shadow prime minister. you have the opposition with a real agenda. here we've got 20 entrepreneurs who are going to run for president. there is no unity in the opposition. if i ask you, what was the democratic agenda in 2002, in the off year elections, there was none. that's not how it's constructed. an agenda will come from the nominee and it will come from the senate and the house if the gop captures the senate. >> to back up your point, in 2006, it was i don't like what's happening in iraq and then the surge happened and all turned around. >> mid terms are referendum on the incumbent. that's the way it is. >> an important poll, the american people were asked, has this administration been competent and effective in managing the government? 40% say yes. almost 60% say no. let's move on and talk about our international relations. editorial in the "washington
post," relations with turkey have never been worse. now with israel the same exact thing. according to a high ranking senior obama administration official, personally ripping into benjamin netanyahu, calling him chicken [ bleep ], because they said he's too worried about starting a war, only worried about his own political skin, getting real personal about a guy that's just coming off a war the administration didn't want him to fight. what's behind this? >> look, i think there is animosity between the leadership, the president and prime minister, unlike any in the history of israel. it goes back to 1948. this is unique. however, there is an underlying policy issue here. what the israelis are worried about more than anything else is that obama cuts a bad deal with iran. the deadline is in three weeks. no one is sure what's going to happen. but the way that the administration and the western powers had been making one
concession after another in the middle of the negotiations as a way to almost beseech the iranians to go ahead and make a deal, it looks as if if there is a deal, iran will be a threshold nuclear power, meaning it will be three months away, four months away and any time it wants in the future of getting a nuke and that for israel would be an exist essential threat. >> jeffrey goldberg in the atlantic says a lot of things. he goes on to say that the administration official, this anonymous source, high ranking, says netanyahu essentially doesn't have the courage to defy america and bomb two years ago and he missed his opening. is there any doubt that these feelings in your mind are accurate? is it truly the way the administration feels about netanyahu and company? >> there is no doubt that what we saw is an accurate reflection of what they think. that's the reason they won't offer an apology. everybody knows it's how the president thinks about the israeli leadership under likud.
you're not supposed to say it. you're supposed to deny it when it becomes published. but this is the tension between them. this is the worst relations between administrations, israeli and american probably in 50 years. >> you know what i would like? i would like this to leak out about vladimir putin. i would like this to leak out about assad. we have so many enemies in this world, why does it have to leak out about our so-called friends? we actually knew what the pres unfamiliar with the open mic con accept. he's had problems with it in the past. remember when he was sitting with sarkozy. he came out and said, how do you think i feel? you're fed up with him, but i have to deal with him even more often than you do. so the bed was made. >> the larger issue is that obama's relation, american relations with all the major powers are at the lowest ebb -- relations with russia, as you mentioned with turkey, with the
gulf states. saudi arabia refused to see the security council, first time that has ever happened in the history of the u.n. 'cause it was so angry at the united states over the way it negotiated over its head with iran and has been shutting it up. the gulf states are unbelievably upset with us. egypt has been flirting with russia and china 'cause it is so upset with the u.s. the policy of the u.s., no matter if you're a man of the left or right, however you see this, is that it's lowest ebb with the president who promised to improve relations, they are at their low ebb everywhere. this is a measure of his imcompetence. >> just think that the senate and house had a chance to sign off on the nuclear deal. right now the president doesn't plan on doing that. the russia deal in a lame duck session. >> they would reject it in a flash. >> the american people have not turned on the president when it comes to ebola. it's about 50/50 right now. but when it comes to this quarantine with this nurse in maine, what's your take on this? this morning she's essentially
saying you have no right to take away my freedom even though i was treating ebola patients and are still in the gestation period, the 21-day period. what is your take on the way the president is condemning those who condemn her for not going into the quarantine? >> the president is contradicting himself. his own army is going to be quarantining soldiers returning from the region. quarantining them in italy. so how can you on the one hand quarantine your soldiers and then declare that a governor or even a state of maine that wants to quarantine a healthcare worker is doing the wrong thing? it's a complete contradiction and the president has not answered it. >> let's hear what he had to say yesterday as he sat in front of some patients that once had ebola. >> when i hear people talking about american leadership and then are promoting policies that would avoid leadership and have us running in the opposite
direction and hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated. so i put those on notice who think that we should hide from these problems. that's not who we are. that's not who i am. that's not who these folks are. this is america. we do things differently. >> long pause threw me off. he answered that three times. hiding what we're doing? >> quarantine is not hiding. quarantining probably is the most ancient of all practices of all states back to antiquity to protect populations from a contagion. the risk is low, but the fatality of this illness is 70%. when you have a low risk and a high fatality rate, i mean, a house quarantine simply stay
home for three weeks is -- there are four liberal states, including the northeastern states that have already instituted that. it is perfectly rational. >> the democrats are in charge of those states in those cases. do you believe charles krauthammer, that by general odierno saying that without checking with the white house was a step of defiance? >> well, i don't know what the motive was, but he has to look after the welfare of his soldiers. that's what a commander does. in battle and also in the barracks from disease, which is an ancient problem for all armies going way become in history. more soldiers, more armies have been destroyed by disease and contagion than by rival armies. so this is an elementary practice and he did exactly the right thing. >> he's a doctor, psychiatrist, and a commentator. charles krauthammer, thanks so much. we within right to your areas of
expertise. >> except baseball. >> right. by the way the giants were victorious in game 7. >> right. good to see you. >> sorry the nationals weren't in it. he goes to every single game. heather nauert knows that and take away the news. >> hi there. that brings us to politics. they are calling this a smoking gun. there is stunning evidence that illegal immigrants are voting in maryland. four people from frederick county are suing the state. they say they want a judge to intervene before tuesday's election. the group says that thousands who stated that they were not u.s. citizens to get out of jury duty went ahead and then voted in elections since 2006 and that's how officials caught on to it. >> this is massive voter fraud. this is a national story. this is the smoking gun. we have formal documentation, never been done before. >> that republican, pat mcdonough, says it makes a strong case for a voter i.d. law and says he'll push for one in the next legislative session.

that the economy expanded and so that's good news as well. for the month of october, which sort of felt volatile, we've been on a wild ride, it turns out it's been a decent month. the s & p 500 gained a half a percent. it wasn't a losing month. the dow is slightly low. s & p still holding on to gains and have a happy halloween tomorrow. >> thank you very much. don't miss nicole on the "fox business" network. to find it in your area g to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. >> nicole's reality show. coming up on "fox & friends," you make sure your kids are safe on halloween. but how about your pets? stick around for that. >> speak of mr. america, there he is. mr. bill hemmer. >> i'm wearing my mask today, guys. i looked a lot like yesterday. it is scary. a warning for a postelection surprise. this is scary. is your insurance about to skyrocket under obamacare?

friends." >> i don't know about you, but i'm all fox fanned out. >> what do you mean? >> that time at the stadium shaking hands and kissing babies, it was wonderful but i'm exhausted from the weekend. >> the games were wild too. we had a good old time. what a fun weekend. my kids had a blast. they had a blast there with the cousins. >> the kids got a chance to hang out. what we're referring to is saturday and sunday the yankees hosted fox fans weekend with us. we had a chance to get the finest fox fans that we could muster up together to watch the yankees lose two in a row after an extremely hot streak since the all-star break. >> look how much fun it was. this red sox fan actually had fun at a yankees game. that was a blast for us. >> we've got pictures. we'll share them at the bottom of the hour but in the meantime we turn to heather nauert. >> good morning.
baseball and heat, and it is a fox news alert. a day at the beach ending in panic when a rare thunderstorm hits southern california, lightning striking venice beach killing a 20-year-old man and injuring more than a dozen other people. at least two victims were in the water during this lightning strike. witnesses recording as life guards pull one of the victims to shore. beach goers say the storm took them completely by surprise. >> all of a sudden there was a big flash of light, a boom and i felt like someone punched me in the back of the head. >> it sounded like a sonic boom. it literally shook the buildings. >> can you imagine that? that same storm hitting catalina island where a golfer was struck by lightning, expected to be okay. two americans helping to combat the outbreak of ebola in liberia have been infectd with that deadly disease. a volunteer from north carolina is the second
american to come down with that virus. she works at the same hospital where dr. kent brantley from texas also contracted the highly contagious disease. that ebola outbreak has spread to three african countries killing more than 670 people, roughly 62 pk of those infected with that disease. >> while you were sleeping the u.n. calling for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire between gaza and israel. the security council president calling for israel and hamas to accept this peace deal which doesn't mention israel's right to defend itself or asking hamas to stop firing rockets. this follows a weekend of brief lulls in fighting as violence raged on. more than 1,000 people have been killed in the 20-day war so far. do you remember this when three daredevils jumped off the building in manhattan last fall?
that's video of their stupid stunt. now their lawyer is proving he will go the extra mile for his clients literally. the attorney going skydiving with them for case research. he's making a 14,000 foot jump in new jersey saying he hopes it will help their case. the three men are facing several charges including felony dollary. those are your headlines. >> thank you very much. even though today is the first day of the work week, people on capitol hill are already looking towards thursday because that is when their august vacation begins, the summer break officially. you think to yourself, wait a minute, is this really time for them to go on vacation? after all, we've got an invasion on our southern border while both sides have talked about doing something about it, nobody has. >> a lot blame to go around so they say. actually one congressman out of louisiana says i'm
not going anywhere until we fix the problem and to double down on the fact this is the president's fault. >> the president has been awol from the beginning. the president has a lot of time on his schedule to secure fund-raisers but no time to secure the border. he has not taken his job seriously in this regard. the house is willing to lead. the president wants to sit back and play politics. he's flying around the country doing fund-raisers, he doesn't have time to sit down with congress. >> they have a highway trust fund. i don't know if anyone is going to extend it. we would like to find out about the export-import bank. there is money for the border. we'll see where it goes from there. speaking of immigration, let's talk about the illegal immigrants, many of which are children, that have come across our borders. where have they gone? where will they go? turns out according to one governor, they have come to
his state. he had no idea about it. >> we're talking about bill haslem, the republican governor of the great state of tennessee. they were at a governors meeting a couple of months ago and he specifically asked the secretary of health and human services sylvia burwell, if you're going to put any of these illegals in our state, let us know, will you? then he logs on to the h.h.s. website and discovers 760 of the kids have been released somewhere in tennessee, 30,000 all across the country. as it turns out, he didn't get a heads up even though he apparently was promised one. >> he actually went out to slam the president and those that he met with, with the warning that he requested unfulfilled saying this, quote, not only was our state not informed prior to any of the children being brought here, i still have not been contacted, have no information about these individuals or their sponsors other than what was posted on the h.h.s. website and subsequently reported by media.
some of the questions he's looking for answers to are how did the federal government locate these sponsors? what medical screenings were done for the juveniles that have crossed here and been poured into our state? what is the immigration state of the actual sponsors? how long are they going to remain in tennessee? all of this confusion entering chaos as we start a school season here. >> deval patrick had no idea illegals were being poured into massachusetts. we're trying to find out where these kids have gone, i think 30,000 have disappeared into the system. in terms of the actual compassion shown to the children, to the surprise of many, yesterday on fox news sunday chris wallace asked what about the illegals. listen. >> we have 3,141 counties in this country. that would be 20 per coant. the idea that we can't
assimilate these eight-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous. >> what george will is saying, make them americans but spread them around. you know what? i know one mayor of a big town here in the united states who'd love to take 1,000 of the illegals is chicago mayor rahm emanuel. he said over the weekend, go ahead, we will take 100 -- rather, we'll take 1,000 of the illegals and we're going to use the city's legal resources to help them. but, you know, do the kids really want to go to one of the most dangerous, most violent, crazy towns? america? you look at the number of shootings over the last weekend alone, over the weekend there were 23 shootings this weekend alone. 23. when you look at the number of shootings in chicago from mid-june to mid-july, it was 220. so he can say we'll take 1,000 kids, but is it safe in chicago right now? >> not only that but when
you take those that are most susceptible to entering into gang violence, chicago is at the helm of this. they asked for federal agents ten days ago. the federal government said they were going to provide additional efforts to deal with the battle violence going on in chicago adding to a total of 52 alcohol, tobacco and firearm agents that have been added to their situation there. why would you take young kids, teens, put them in a situation where they're susceptible to more gang violence or joining gangs particularly when we have a gang taking advantage of the border crisis right now. ms-13. and adding to the complexity here of this? >> and give them free tattoos as they join domestic gangs. here's the thing about rahm emanuel. if you're in chicago, how outraged are you? it is basically a failed state. then mayor emanuel wants to look magnanimous and compassionate by saying give me 500 or 1,000 kids
that i will prop up. if i'm a parent or single parent trying to meak -- make things work in chicago and i hear you're going to use state funds for this, i'd be outraged. >> i was reading one blog post from a very prominent blogger out there who said we get all these shootings here in this town, mr. president, and you're talking about spending millions and billions of do texas. come on. >> give every kid some kevlar and send them to school. >> or give them a driver. the president of the united states over the weekend while we've got things going on with gaza, the stuff with the ukraine, the president of the united states spent the weekend with tony cornheiser and the host of espn at a congressional country club in washington, d.c. >> why not? i don't know how many rounds of golf it's been. i'm a person who thinks look, you want to golf, that's fine if it helps you
clear your head, if it helps you take action, golf all you want. but it doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to the united states. former secretary of state madeleine albright says the world is a mess. somebody better wake up to it. >> there have been really two huge game changers, and one is putin's behavior vis-a-vis crimea and then now towards ukraine and a completely different kind of behavior by russia. the other is what is happening in the middle, a lot due to the awakening. these are huge game changers. there are an awful lot of things going on that need understanding and explanation. but to put it mildly, the world is a mess. >> she's also being very political. if you watch the whole interview, she said i have no problem with the president not engaged, golfing, going to fund-raisers. he has 81 rounds of golf in
628 since the 2012 election. >> seemingly aloof as those have said. >> looked what happened to libya over the weekend. we had to evacuate our embassy. what happened to that operation? we go in with the arab league and we go into some western allies and we just leave. there was no plan. it's chaos. >> she's right. things are a mess. matt lewis of the daily caller wrote a column in the telegraph overred weekend. he says the president of the united states checked out of his job, phoning it in, sleepwalking through the second term with golf and dinner parties. he's prematurely packing his bags. he's ready for an early departure. while the world is aflame, everything is a mess, to paraphrase what madeleine albright just said, is it time for the president of the united states to pack up the golf bag and put it down and maybe do his job for a couple of days, maybe turn some of this stuff around? or it's the summer.
he should be taking it easy. what do you think? e-mail us. you can also twitter. >> james carville says the president doesn't care about the polls, he's already looking at his place in history which is not good for us. >> maybe take a look at the changing global map that's occurring right now. >> meanwhile, straight ahead, a stroll on the beach turns into a deadly nightmare when a plane slams right into the sand out of nowhere. the latest on this freak accident. >> another home-grown american company forced to do business overseas thanks to insane corporate taxes. but some calling walgreens unpatriotic for their stance. stuart varney is here with more on that.

they're keeping most of their business inside the united states but they're basically renouncing their citizenship and declaring that they're based someplace else just to avoid paying their fair share. >> that's the president's big address over the weekend. here to explain is the host of varney and company, stuart varney. companies leaving the country, what are they thinking? >> the president, i think, is setting up business, setting up the republicans so that in the election in november he can say look at those people, they're taking their money overseas. they're unpatriotic, they're not doing the right thing, not doing their fair share. it is a setup so the president can look very good come the november elections. there are numerous corporations who want to leave america, put their headquarters, a couple of jobs, overseas so they can take advantage of lower tax rates over there compared to the sky-high rates over here. the president wants to put a fence around america, stop anybody leaving. that's what he wants to do. instead of encouraging them
to stay -- >> or going to congress and say lower the corporate taxes. >> he does not negotiate with congress. he doesn't deal with congress. he doesn't have friends on the other side of the aisle with whom he can get together and structure some kind of a deal. but the worst result of all of this is we've got $2.1 trillion of american corporate profits which are going to stay over there because if they come back over here, they lose 35% of the federal government. so he stays there. it doesn't do us any good here. >> let me put up a graphic. let me show you action ladies and gentlemen, where businesses are not putting their money. they're not putting them in the u.a.e. their tax rate is 55%. in the united states we're at 40. japan is 35 with angola and argentina. another graphic with recent big companies that have moved from the united states. bausch & lomb has gone to canada. jim bean has gone to japan. and chiquita banana has
gone to ireland. >> they buy a smaller company in order to move headquarters there. >> instead of admitting it is bad, the president is blaming consistent. >> stay here, pay up, pay your fair share. would you allow, for example, a company in illinois to move to texas to take advantage of lower taxes? of course we do. >> the whole thing, what is the goal of the corporation? to maximum profits and revenue. >> for shareholders. absolutely. >> varney and company 11 to 1. >> thank you. i'll be there. >> coming up, effective immediately, police in d.c. cannot arrest anyone for legally carrying a gun. the ruling that just logged a major win for the second amendment. >> this guy arrested for drunk driving on a lawn mower. ♪ i do a lot oresearch on angie's list

concealed. they have to be allowed to carry handguns. now he wrote, according to police last night, anyone who is a nond.c. resident can legally carry in d.c. and d.c. residents, if you have a registered gun like i do, i can carry. if you don't have a registered gun you can still be arrested on the unregistered gun law. >> you have a gun because, among other reasons, you were the victim of a home invasion but you couldn't have a gun back then. now you can have it going forward. i want to you react, emily, to what the d.c. council chairman put out a statement and said because of the district's unique national security concerns, the right to carry a firearm in public must be more heavily restricted than anyplace else in the nation. four u.s. presidents have been assassinated by gunfire and at least five others have been shot at including ronald reagan who was seriously wounded by mr. hinckley. your reaction? >> i would say we had this

we're perfect. when we see what's happening with this canada situation, algeria situation, malaysian plans what do you think? >> airspaces are not created equal. when i ask when is the last crash of a commercial airline of a commercial aircraft of the united states, it was 2009, that buffalo crash. it's not the same thing when you fly in other countries. africa, for example, much worse. they account for only 3% of the flights and about one-fifth of the air crashes. >> we saw the algeria plane. that was weather-related. weather is bad, you can't control it and sometimes you can't predict it, as we know. if you are a flier and you're about to get on a plane, gukd to flight aware -- you could go tom and gn inside track on the weather? >> that would help you if you want to know what the
weather was yesterday and that will problem help today. most airplanes will take extreme weather. they are built under f.a.a. certification, a very strict standard. >> they can take the heavy rain and absorb the lightning strikes? >> correct. if you're in the united states you know where that heavy rain is. you want to stay away from thunderstorms and that is probably what happened in algeria. you know where they are here in the united states because we have radar every place. not so in these other countries. >> i understand when it comes to turbulence, we can only predict turbulence? >> we have turbulence reports that come out of the national weather service every single day. before any pilot flies, whether a short trip or long one, they look at that because that will impact what the comfort of their passengers are. >> a lot of people get upset the plane is going to be late but they're delaying because of a flight. you're saying if you are a passenger, you can decide the weather doesn't feel right, i don't want to take the risk, i'm not getting on.
that is something we can decide to do, we all can't get our money back? >> that is true. that is up to the carrier whether they give you your money back or not. for the most part with domestic carriers you're going to fly in safe weather in safe conditions. their standards are higher than the f.a.a. makes them do. >> this is what i've lerpd over the last six months, number one, the flight pattern matters, the weather matters. i don't know if it is possible but i'd like to know what my pilots have been up to. you look at the malaysian pilots, is there any way we can do a background check on the pilot we're going to have? >> no simple way of doing that. we know for the most part the airlines do a pretty good job of weeding out bad eggs in their area. when we fly foreign airlines we don't know for sure we're up to the same standards as the united states. >> just to check out your carrier and know if it's domestic the odds are great that you're going to be

a new bill passed by congress now makes it legal for cell phone users to unlock their device, allowing them to be usedden other networks. how will this impact you? tech expert chris the cyber guy joining us live this morning. this is a big difference maker because when a phone is locked, can you explain that? >> good morning. yes. we're talking about you're about to get money back in your wallet. how? in the past, you have bought a phone maybe through a verizon store, at & t store and they would give you the phone with a deal and you have a certain term. at the end of that contract, if you wanted to go to another company, many times the phone could not be used anywhere else, meaning it was locked. now legislation passed on friday by congress and the president expected to sign it, will indeed put an end to all of that. it's absurd as this, imagine we buy a new car. it's ford, chevy, doesn't matter. and a part of buying that car, they say you can only get gas from the mobil station. how absurd and restricted would
that be? >> that's not freedom. >> mobil would realize that and say, let's jack up the price for curt and elisabeth when they come in for gas. >> when it comes to phone, that's what people have been dealing with, no competition in termination of prices and your hands are tied. >> less competition, exactly. and now you're going to have the choice. they can no longer tell you you can get gas at one station. you can get phone service with your cell phone anywhere you want. and when we travel abroad, we'll be able to use our phone with other services there that were restricted, and imagine this, tens of thousands of cell phones that would otherwise end up in the landfills are going to be able to stay alive. your phone, perfectly good, should be able to use another service. instead of us having to throw it out, we're going to be able to keep that. >> a new frontier here. >> mainly freedom of phone and saving money. >> apple is extracting information, has the capacity to
extract information from your phone and we didn't know this? >> we're talking about a forensic analyst who is really good with how the inside of a iphone works. apple has been keeping a secret. they haven't revealed to us, the 600 million iphone users, that, in fact, they have created a back door or a mechanism that circumvents them to get to your personal data. it doesn't mean they're exploiting it or doesn't mean the phone is not secure. it simply means there is something very suspicious here. >> can you opt out of this? >> you can not opt out of it. the only way out of it is to completely erase your phone, making it useless and you're then going to get it again probably when you plug in your phone to a trusted source. you're going to recreate that pairing to a trusted source which would allow access. what does this mean? no, there is no proof yet. but the nsa has used this back door to get your personal information.
but there is actually a process that law enforcement has to follow that apple has provided to them and this potentially could be one of those channels to fulfill a request for the government to look at information on your phone. should they have told us about it? >> i think so. is there more to this? they claim this is simply diagnostic tool mechanisms put in place. it's will for troubleshooting. >> why didn't they let everybody know if it was simply that? >> by the way, it's not just that. it actually has been looked at further and another analyst said no, no. this is not for diagnostics. this is personal data. so apple needs to come clean. >> we're going to stay on this. come back more. thanks. coming up, americans wish they voted for mitt romney. the brand-new poll that shows the state of the country. so now what? donald trump, top of the hour on that. and the gift you should never, ever buy for a wedding.

a day at the beach ends in panic and chaos when a rare thunderstorm hits southern california. lightning striking venice beach. do you know how crowded that is? that lightning killed a 20-year-old man and injured more than a dozen other people. at least two of the victims were in the water during the lightning strike. witnesses recording this as lifeguards pulled one person to show. beach goers say the storm took them completely by surprise. >> all of a sudden there is a big flash of light and a boom and it felt like someone punched me in the back of the head. >> it sounded like a sonic boom. it literally shook the building, shook us. >> that same storm hit catalina island where a golfer was struck by lightning. he's expected to be okay. two americans were helping combat an outbreak of the deadly ebola virus are now infected with the disease. a volunteer from north carolina is the second american to come

but his late adopted mother always said to him that education is the most important thing. the president in the letter also talking about the importance of that. jesse says he hopes to use the money he gets from selling the letter to help him finish his degree at winthrop university. i believe that's in south carolina. those are your headlines. >> thank you very much. by the way, on line you can buy a wi-fi crock pot for $89. >> wow. maybe that's something that donald trump will put in his brand-new washington hotel. >> maybe. >> we could ask him. and i believe it's monday, which means it's donald trump time. welcome, mr. trump. >> good morning. >> let's talk about something that's still festering and that's the problem at our border. what's your take on what mayor rahm emanuel said, give me your illegals. we'll take them. >> there are pockets in chicago that are a cass taas strovey, all of the shootings. there are certain areas of
chicago. it's disgraceful. >> 23 over the weekend alone. >> yeah. it's disgraceful. but chicago is a place i happen to love. i think it's great. and they got a lot of problems. this is not the way that you're going to solve the problem. people are coming into the country. they have disease. they have lots of other situations going on and very interestingly, in many cases, they don't speak english and they don't speak spanish. they have indian dialect. we don't have anybody that can speak that language. it's languages that we don't know in this country and we're not equipped to handle. now we're supposed to educate everybody. this is madness. what's going on in this country is madness. >> it sure is. to add to the violence there, 23 shootings over the weekend, 220 reported in the summer there. we just are wondering how this is going to solve the problem and then we're hearing governors across the country are calling on the president to lead while this is happening, now that's
being dumped into the states. and these governors don't even know it. we just saw governor from tennessee who wrote a letter to the president saying not only was our state not informed prior to any of the children being brought here, says being contacted and has -- ice is being contacted and they have no information other than what's on the web site. he's saying we didn't even know they were here. 760 illegal minors are here now and we had no idea until we went on the web site for hhs? >> it is very sad. they're being spread all over the country. not only don't the governors know, nobody knows they're there. ultimately, you're never going to be able to get them back to where they're from. our country can't handle it. we can't do it. whether it's the problems of infectious diseases, in some cases, very, very infectious diseases. our country can't handle this. we have no country. we have no borders. we have no anything. so something has to take place.
it has to take place fast. they're being spread all over the country and they're never going to be returned. >> you know what? they're not telling anybody for the most part, mr. trump, in the localities because we know the dirty little secret, if you drop 1,000 kids into a state, come september, for example n new jersey, those 1,000 kids will end up going to school. who pays for that? the property owners of the state of new jersey. >> it really does seem like it cannot be this stupid. it just can't be this stupid. it must be a concerted effort to get these kids into the system, add them into the system. later on they'll become citizens and they'll vote democratic. this has to be some kind of a concerted effort by the president to let people come into the country because it's not that tough. somebody asked me, what would i do? i'd call mexico and say if you don't stop this from happening -- mexico is like the highway right into this country. and you can not get into mexico.
you can not become a citizen of mexico. you can not come into the country. but in this case, they're letting them walk right through mexico, right into our doorway and they want them out fast, by the way. get out fast. we have such power over mexico, we don't use it. >> we had a productive meeting with them last week, we heard. >> yeah, right. >> we have a marine there who has been in prison for a long, long time now and no power when it comes to getting his release. >> he's the only one from mexico that cannot get into our country. amazing thing. they're treating him badly. they're beating the hell out of him in prison. they're treating him badly. unlike our traitor, when we gave five killers, five real enemies of the state, bergdahl, unlike him, this guy was a very solid citizen as a soldier. so it's really crazy. but what we do is you stop it by telling mexico, we're not doing business with you anymore. we support mexico. we have so many companies in mexico. we give them tax advantages to
build companies in mexico. look, our country is getting to a point where tear not going to be able to come back. >> you look at our country. madeline albright said yesterday, you look around the world, things are a mess. you got the ukraine, gaza, the southern invasion. perhaps, mr. trump, that is why in a brand-new poll, americans wish essentially they would have elected mitt romney. brand-new poll out, if the election for two years ago were held today, mitt romney would win in a landslide essentially. of course, it's meaningless because they're not really voting for president again in 2014 for 2012. but it is indicative of the trouble that this president is in. >> the president is doing a terrible job. he's a terrible president. the country is going down. we're a laughing stock all over the world. you look at what's happened to the world under our watch. the whole world is exploding. whether it was the fact that we broke up iraq, which was one of the dumbest things ever.
you look at -- you know, whether you like saddam hussein or not, he used to kill terrorists. he would kill terrorists. there were very few of them in iraq. this is now a breeding ground. this is called the harvard of terrorism. go to iraq. you learn all about it. perhaps the fact that that all blew up it showed everyone else they could do the same thing. the world has never, ever been in a position like that. it's a tinderbox. one big tinderbox. the problem we have is weapons are getting more and more dangerous, more and more horrible and we've never had a thing like that before. and a lot of it's the power of the weaponry. >> also giving money to the palestinians to blow themselves up in israel and invading other nations and pretty much a menace of the middle east. but i got to bring something else kind of exciting. next to the white house for you, you broke ground with gold shovels. >> we're doing a fantastic job
giving lots of jobs. we're building at the old post office, which is the best location in washington, d.c., right smack in the middle of pennsylvania avenue, between the white house and congress. we have the most magnificent building in washington. truly one of the great buildings in washington. we're going to turn that into one of the great hotels of the world. we start construction on monday of next week. it's going to be very, very exciting. we had a ground breaking there. everybody was there. it's going to be a very exciting development. again, a lot of jobs are going to be used for building and for operating the hotel and it's going to be truly -- because of the infrastructure, because of what we're doing and we will have all of those things that you mentioned, and more. we'll have things they don't even know about. in that world, things are coming along so quickly, the world of the internet, that you don't even know about them now. including the wi-fi crock pot. >> the funny thing, in two years, 18 months when we open
that, will be obsolete. they'll have something else. >> 2016 is when it's supposed to open. >> it will open 2016. it will open june of 2016. i've always said sometime prior to november, but we should be able to do that -- november being a very important month. >> if you want, we'll supervise the construction. >> i understand. november being maybe the most important month in this country in many, many years, frankly. we are going to need somebody truly great to come in and run this country because we don't have that now. >> donald trump, who will have at least one address in washington, d.c. in 2016, we thank you for joining us live today on this monday. >> thank you very much. it's dozen minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, just days before a five-week recess, congress attempting a last-ditch effort to take action on our southern border. what's the holdup? the democrat who co-sponsored the bill is going to join us live coming up next.

the white house calling out congress for fail to go act on immigration before their five-week recess which begins this week at the end of this week. why isn't there more support for this bipartisan bill that's sitting on capitol hill right now? where is the white house on this crisis? let's ask democratic congressman henry cuellar, co-sponsor of the plan. welcome back. thanks as an american for taking the lead on this. first off, what are some of the things in your plan and then we'll get into why the white house says it doesn't measure up. what's in there? >> first of all, the main thing is we want to have a quicker hearing with all due process, with all legal protection, but instead of waiting two, three, four, five years for a hearing, we want to put this individual before a judge, a judge will make that decision whether that individual stays or goes. they can have an attorney if they want to bring an attorney. >> that's one. change the 2008 law, right, that was meant to stop sexual trafficking, but in turn has
been misinterpreted. you want to change that? >> that's correct. if you think about it, why is it that the smugglers -- they have found a loophole in the 2008 law. this law, what we want to do, do a very surgical change. every protection, all the due process is kept, except we eliminate a loophole in the 2008 that the smugglers have found a way to make millions and millions of dollars every month. >> dan pheiffer comes out and he says, the cornyn-cuellar plan does not meet white house standards of deferring might abrasion while protecting asylum. >> first of all, keep in mind that president obama brought this idea back in june 30 when he sent a letter saying i need money and i need a policy change. secretary johnson has been very, very good. he has said we need the resources and we need the policy
change of 2008. in fact, when i asked him about this proposal, he said, quote, henry, we're on the same page. so when the white house says it doesn't meet the standards, well, we're using the standards they suggested to us, and if they have a better idea, talk to us. >> exactly. exactly. if he wants to get something done. so you need money to speed up the process to get these kids back home where they belong. critics say it could be a dangerous situation. number two, a lot of democrats don't want to change this 2008 law and that's the main problem. >> you know, it's unfortunate. but i think we'll get more democrats. when the vote comes on the floor, we will get democrats. right now the only ones we have are blue dogs that -- some of the blue dogs have signed on. number two, is keep in mind that even hillary clinton has suggested -- she says she's open to the 2008 law 'cause she understands we have to have not only resources, but we have to
change that loophole and take the incentive out that the smugglers have taken advantage of. >> thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, spiderman unhinged. what caused this costume-clad thug to flip out on police in times square? we got to throw out elmo and everybody else. they're all clowns. and the "new york times" going full throttle on legalizing pot. would a move like this make drugs more accessible to our kids? we hear from a former drug czar next on the "new york times"'" controversial article. ♪ she's still the one for you. ♪

but would a move like this put drugs in the hands of more kids? former drug czar john walter joins us now from our dc bureau. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so the "new york times" on the editorial page yesterday said it's time to repeal it. it's essentially been a prohibition. i'm gog read an excerpt. they write, it's been more than 40 years since congress passed the current ban on marijuana. inflicting great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol. the federal government should repeal a ban on marijuana. what do you say? >> pretty stupid. they act like they live on another planet. more people are in treatment for marijuana than all other illegal drugs combined. more kids, as teen-agers, are treated for marijuana than alcoholism. we're not keeping it out of the hands of kids and explode ago substance where we have alcohol and tobacco, which is the single biggest cause of illness and death that's preventible,
adding a third substance -- this is the way they treat environmental toxins. that's not the way they treat things that treat the health of america. all of the science, you covered it at fox, all the science, monthly, is showing more risk at a time when science is telling us one thing, the "new york times" wants to act like it's time to be ruled by cheech and chong. insane. >> it is insane. you're talking about the science. you have been on this program talking about the science. it is proven that pot makes you dumb. >> yeah. steady use, especially as you start as late teens, now can reduce i.q. by eight points, which is not just eight points. if you had normal i.q., you drop by a whole fifth and your capacity to compete. when we want to be competitive, we want to be good to our children, how do we lower their i.q. on a wide scale? to say you're going to keep this out of the hands of kids, look what's going on in denver. disaster. people cannot keep it out of the
hands of kids. it's being marketed to kids, in high potencies. people are scared. we're going to try to help them. but the administration is utterly irresponsible and it's just horrifying to the people who live there. >> regarding the experiment, the legal experiment that's going on out in colorado, during the commercial break we were talking about what's going on out there regarding the legal use of marijuana. you had a jaw-dropping statement regarding kids sending their kids to school are afraid of what? >> well, parents cannot send food or drink with their children. i met with some of the parents in suburban denver because of the concentrates, because of the things that can be put in food, being marketed in fruit juice, brownies, so kids cannot bring any food or drink to school -- a woman i met with, parent, all consumables at school have to be prepared under the supervision of school officials to prevent kids from being poisoned. why would we do this to our children? why to our community?
it doesn't stay contained. 40 states have been recipients by law enforcement cases of colorado-made marijuana. when your neighbor does this, you're doing it. so this is not an experiment. this is a wholesale failure to enforce the law by president obama. >> speaking of presidents, the president of our country met with the president of honduras over the last couple of days and the president of hon occur has came out and said, look, i have a very violent country. that's kind of his fault. but he also said, the united states is responsible for this crisis on your southern border because americans use too many of our drugs. what do you think about that? >> well, this is not cooperation. this is a failure to recognize responsibility, as you point out. this is a country that's riddled with corruption. i hope the new president will step up. the united states asked for extradition of key and bad actors there. they haven't done it. we've asked for the ratification of a treaty to help us with interdiction, they haven't done it. we've tried to provide aid -- i
do blame president obama for not being more aggressive, but you have to engage with a country that wants to help. we did this in colombia. cocaine is down over 50%. honduras needs help, but you have to have hondurans at the front line. >> john walter used to be the drug czar for george w. bush. thank you for joining us today. >> thanks. coming up, a soldier's kids and pregnant wife were kicked to the curb and their house demolished while he were deployed because of a building code violation? is that legal? a judge just ruled. and this burglar tried to make a grand exit, but failed. we'll tell you more about this crazy video as we roll on live from new york city. ♪ ♪

♪ fox news alert. while you were sleeping, the u.n. calling for an unconditional cease fire between israel and hamas. what's not mentioned, israel's right to defend itself or hamas to stop firing rockets. >> john huddy is live along the border with the latest on this call for peace. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning to you. there is no formal cease fire as we know at this point. but what we understand is that israeli military commanders have told the troops, don't shoot unless shot at. basically match calm for calm. and while there has been some artillery fire and rocket
launches at israel, including one that landed in the city we're standing in, which is just north of the gaza border, didn't cause any damage or injuries, it has remained very calm compared to what we've seen over the last 21 days. possibly representative of this, let me show you something. in the distance, you'll see a group of tanks. those tanks last night were over the ridge right on the israel-gaza border firing into an area which has seen an intense amount of fighting and military activity over the course of the last 21 days. those tanks now have been pulled back several hundred yards and remain in a stand still position at this point. yesterday afternoon and evening we did see activity. we saw air strikes, explosions in the distance. we also saw artillery fire. israel remains committed to destroying hamas' infrastructure and network of cross-border
tunnels. israel has stipulated that even with a cease fire, it would continue with this operation which has been a main priority since day one of operation protective edge. we know that president obama did speak with israeli prime minister netanyahu, calling for an immediate cease fire, the u.n. as well. israel has said it would accept an egyptian brokered cease fire to allow more long-term negotiations. right now there has been no agreement on a cease fire. but as i said, it is calm for now along the border, a contrast to what we've seen the past 21 days. back to you. >> you never know when things will change. john huddy, stand by out there for the very latest. the egyptians are blowing up more tunnels they found and they're being rearmed by guess who. north korea, the whole axis of evil still out there. >> we had heard that there was a shortage of building supplies for the palestinians. turns out they were building tunnels. >> right.

streets of new york city. he had reportedly been demanding $5 from tourists who wanted to pose for pictures. the officer told him to stop harassing people and asked for his i.d. and that's when spiderman got angry. he was arrested and hauled off. the cop suffered a minor injury. federal court slamming miami-dade county for demolishing the home of a soldier while he was fighting for our country and his wife was five months pregnant. he was warned about code violation, including exposed wires and a broken roof. but he requested an extension to get those things fixed. then while he was deployed to the middle east, the city claimed that active duty was not a valid excuse. what did they do? they tore down his house. a federal judge recently ruled that that county violated federal law. a trial is set for september to decide how much that soldier is

of a car. thousands now waking up in the dark. maria molina has been doing some storm chasing on the weekend and joins us live from 48th and sixth avenue. >> good morning. that's right. i was in kentucky yesterday. we saw several funnel clouds and some strong storms that later went on to produce some possible tornadoes in parts of tennessee and all of that damage that you just saw on your screen. but today that same storm system is on the move and there is a risk for more severe weather stretching from parts of mississippi into the carolinas and the risk out here today is going to be large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes yet again today. the other concerns are hot temperatures and a lot of humidity. we have a number of heat advisories. it could be as hot as 112 degrees. that storm system responsible, by the way, for more than 350 reports of severe weather stretching from tennessee up into the northeast has produced a big cooldown now across portions of the great lakes. high temperatures well below

we've got some headlines for you. this burglar tried to make a grand exit, but it failed. surveillance video shows the store clerk turned his back as a suspect reaches over the counter and rips out the cash register.

network. to compare to the civil rights movement seems insulting. >> it really is insulting. it's beyond the pale. it insults almost everybody. obviously it would insult anybody involved in a civil rights movement and also the workers because essentially i guess what you're saying to these workers is you were born this way and this position where you can never better yourself, you can never get an education, you can never work otherwise, you can never pool your money and start a business. you are stuck in this because somehow you were born with deficiencies that you'll only have a certain skill set. the minimum skill set. so at the very least, what we can do, because we're so nice and we are the union after all, we'll find a way to at least get you more money because obviously you're stuck because you were born in this situation. >> we're determined to win for our children and ourselves. together we're going to build a better future. we're ready to engage in nonviolent action to make larger corporations hear us. we stand on the shoulders of movements that have transformed
america. >> it's again, extraordinarily insulting and what about the small businesses that are out there? most restaurants fail. most restaurants don't work. they go out of business. they work on very thin margins. most people lose money. they have the proceeds pentecost of a 50% chance of not making it. on top of that, we're getting these ideas now, part-time workers should have certain rights. union workers. these restaurant workers and minimum wage workers, somehow their civil rights are being -- >> trampled on. >> yeah. whatever happened to the country that talked about the maximum? like sky is the limit. we are quibbling over things where it's really about creating divisiveness. it's not economic solution to anything. by the way, it still would be the minimum wage. i think people out there want to think about maximum. >> what do those numbers mean? >> here are the states that increased minimum wage, hawaii, maryland, massachusetts, vermont, connecticut,
washington, d.c. >> well, you're talking $15. most people watching this show, their haul househead median income is the same as 1989. you're talking about doubling the salary for the lowest skill sets out there. you're talking about really encouraging people or enabling people not to better themselves. hey, why should i go to college at night if i'm going to get a raise from 7 to $15? if this becomes a civil rights issue and i can always go and demand more, what we're really talking about, and i say this all the time. there are people in this country trying to create a utopian welfare society. it's very expensive and they've got to attack corporate balance sheets. watch me 6:00 p.m. every night on the "fox business" network. >> he's making money. thank you. >> we got him up early just for us. straight ahead on this show, stressed about what gift to buy for the next wedding? >> that. >> i'll go all day. place settings, candle sticks,

89 house laid out -- the house laid out what we'll do to solve this problem. the president wants to sit back and play politics. he's flying around the country doing fund-raisers. he doesn't have time to come and work with congress. >> the house can pass something, but without the senate, nothing. >> yeah. that's true. i think chris wallace pressed congressman scalise whether they would extend and not take their vacation and he wouldn't get there. the hope is that they can come to some deal on this supplemental and it will be much scaled down money wise. but the main thing is change the language as we've talked about of the 2008 law that would enable them to speed up the deportation process for the central american kids. that could happen this week before the end of the week. you're right, five weeks recess. that's not a bad deal. >> they're going to get a v.a. deal, on paper it seems like it's a bipartisan agreement. they also have to come up with some type of funding on the
highway bill. when it comes to this 2008 bill, it's democrats who don't want to change it. republicans are in to changing that, which is kind of odd this time. >> yeah, it is. especially since the administration at first came out and said they were open to and wanted to see that law changed, the specific law and the wording. so there is this pushback. the thought is that they can get around it. they can get through it before the end of the week. if they don't, the question then will be to congressman scalise and others, are you going to stick around? are you going to wait until it gets resolved? >> george wills said this when it comes to deportation. >> we have 3141 counties in this country. that would be 20 per county. the idea we can't assimilate these eight-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous. >> so that's something you don't hear from many conservatives on television, bret. he is suggesting with these kids, don't deport them. make them americans.
just spread them around. >> yeah. you do hear that from some. brit hume has said something similar. and others. but i guess there are a lot of people, especially along the border towns, that want to know where the line is drawn. they want to know where the end of that is and they also want to know that the line that's established of people who are in line to get citizenship is respected. >> what about governors aren't even prepared to have this happen. they're finding out on line that 760 in the case of tennessee, the governor there found out that there were 760 of these kids dumped there unbeknownst to him. this is the governor there, not only was our state not informed prior to any of the children being brought there, still not been contacted and have no information about these individuals or their sponsors other than what was posted on the hhs web site and subsequently reported in the media. they're being caught offguard. they don't know if the kids had their immunization, if their sponsors have been legal with
paperwork. they have no information and he has 760 kids there. over 30,000 of these children this year alone have been placed into the hands of states from the federal government. what is going to be done? >> this is the most amazing part of this story, that this is not getting more outrage, more coverage. this isn't just republican governors speaking out. there are democratic governors in similar situations finding out that there are kids being transferred to their state and they didn't know about it. and originally when asked about this, the white house press secretary, josh earnest said it was a matter of privacy for those children. >> yeah. >> for the central american kids. >> whoever they are. >> that really was spell binding because -- >> it's not true. >> it's not true and we care about their rights more than the rights of americans. i'm curious to see if the president will wait for vacation and start issuing executive orders addressing it the way he wants. speaking of the president, what did you think of this poll out
when americans were asked, who would they vote for if the vote was today. romney gets 53%. the president, 48. president romney hasn't had to make a decision in two years. president obama has made a few. that has a lot to do with it. that surprise you? >> no. the president's approval rating has taken a dive, as you've seen all these things around the world. you've seen a lot of sound bites about how mitt romney said that russia was the number one geopolitical foe in the wake of the russian ukraine situation. you've seen a lot of looking back. you're right. mitt romney is not making decisions day-to-day. but it's still an interesting poll if you look at all the things that have been said about that race since then. >> hillary beats mitt romney head to head in the same poll. >> yeah. not surprising either. despite a little bump in the road with the book launch has managed to hold up her favorability rating. >> but it does show you the
voter dissatisfaction with our current president. meanwhile, i want you to listen to -- here is hillary clinton talking about george w. bush and how he made her proud to be an american. >> george w. bush is very popular in sub saharan africa. why? because of the president's emergency program for aids relief. whether you agree or disagree with a lot of what else he did and i disagree with a lot of it, i am proud to be an american when i go to sub saharan africa and people say, i want to thank president bush and the united states for helping us fight hiv aids. >> she makes a good point. george bush did a lot regarding hiv aids in africa. but what's going on there? is she, a, proud to be an american because of george bush, or b, trying to distance herself from her former works barak obama? >> i think it's a combination. you have to take her at her word. there were a lot of democrats
who praised the efforts of president bush in africa and what was done there, a lot of people don't even remember. changed the entire perspective of the u.s. in africa. you have bono and others who have spoken out about president bush's efforts throughout that. it often gets overlooked. too, she is on this crusade to say america needs o do a better job around the world of talking about itself and promoting its own values and in essence, criticizing the current administration for not doing that and making the wrong decisions again and again. so it is a subtle dig, but probably warranted praise that she talked about before. >> perhaps a strategic reachout as some describe president obama's methods as retreat from the globe. >> bret, we're going to be watching you ten hours from right now. have a great day. >> we'll see you later. heather nauert is here. you have some headlines. >> good morning. there is wild weather all across
the country. particularly california. a day at the beach ending in panic and chaos when a rare thunderstorm hits southern california. lightning striking venice beach, killing a 20-year-old man and injuring more than a dozen others. at least two victims were in the water during this strike. witnesses recording it as lifeguards pull one person to shore. beach goers say the storm took them completely by surprise. >> it was an incredibly loud flash, like a bomb went off. >> people that were just frightened for their lives. people running. people looking up in the air. really scary. >> that same storm hit catalina island where a golfer was struck by lightning and is expected to be okay. a freak accident on a florida beach leaves a father dead and his daughter in critical condition this morning. a single engine plane was forced to make an emergency landing on a beach in sarasota. that's when 36-year-old man and his nine-year-old daughter who were just out for a walk were
hit by that airplane, stunned witnesses immediately called police. >> nothing you see every day, that's for sure. i was not expecting to come to the beach and see a plane on the ground. they were performing cpr on him. he had blood on his face. it looked like he wasn't breathing at all. >> he was pronounced dead at the scene. his daughter is hanging on for life at the hospital this morning. another woman reportedly suffered a heart attack after she witnessed that incident. the pilot and passenger on board that plane are both uninjured. the ntsb is investigating the cause of that crash. do you remember when those three daredevils jumped off the new world trade center building in manhattan last fall? okay. now their lawyer has a stunt of his own. he's doing this for his clients. he jumped out of a plane with them. the attorney and them going sky
diving for research, making the jump in new jersey, saying he hopes it will help their cause. the suspects face several charges, including felony burglary. and listen to this one, parents and teen-agers, this is exactly why you should never sleep with your cell phone. a texas teen-ager woke up after she smelled something burning. it turns out it was her samsung galaxy s 4. it was on fire and it was underneath her pillow. >> i didn't think much of it. i went back to sleep and then i woke up again, it was more prominent. >> we have a reasonable expectation that the products we buy will be safe. >> the girl's dad says he suspects the phone overheated and that caused the battery to swell and start on fire. a spokesperson for samsung says their products are safe and pointed out that the battery inside that phone was one of those replace ams and not a part of the original unit. by the way, important to read the fine print on these things.
apparently samsung says do not cover these with any bedding or heavy -- >> she had it under her pillow! >> now we know. >> i have never read a warning, ever. >> i know. >> now we know not to do that. >> i'm always using electrical devices in the bathtub. never read the warning. think the invasion of illegals coming into our country just hits border states? think again. the sheriff who has been fighting this for years and is even on a cartel's hit list joins us live next. >> that's a list you don't want to be on. and here is what not to do if you ever encounter a crocodile. don't really know what he was thinking. we'll try to find out. >> ♪

current immigration crisis is a direct result of our country's inability to secure our border. it will only result in another failed immigration plan. please secure the border now. the man who wrote that letter joins us. the sheriff of butler county in ohio, richard k. jones. sheriff, this is not the first letter you wrote. you also wrote to mexico. >> i have wrote a letter to mexico. i wrote a letter to president bush. this has been a problem, it's been ongoing with both parties, republican and democrat. we can't get any resolve. we're a long way from the border. we border canada by water. but we don't have an issue with canada. we have an issue with the people coming from mexico, bringing their kids, bringing the adults, bringing the drugs, and it's actually killing our communities. >> when you wrote that letter to mexico, somehow the drug cartels got word on it and you got alerted by the f.b.i., you're on their hit list. >> i was told by the f.b.i. i was one of three sheriffs 3200 sheriffs in the united

here. if they do pass or fail, it's within a 50 vet or 200 vote radius. >> if you don't get the extra money, but you have the extra kids who are illegal immigrants, illegal alien, then every kid in ohio gets less? >> every kid gets less. imagine being in a school and you have a classroom with 25 or 30 students, then you have an interpreter for each one of these kids that are sitting -- can you imagine the disruption when the teacher, the professor is doing the instruction, the interpreter has to do the interpretation. who pays for that? that comes out of these school systems. i talked to the school people that work in these schools off the record. they said it's a total disruption. it comes out of the money that they don't have and it's killing our system here. >> sheriff, you've been speaking out for a while. hopefully people will begin to listen because we're at a crisis point and from the schools to the gangs, it all comes back on your desk.

lawmakers applauding the miracle of that little girl's life because when butler was pregnant, she and her husband were told abigail would not survive. abigail suffering from potter's syndrome. she had no kidneys. she was told to terminate her pregnancy of the unwilling to do that and after prayers and experimental treatment, abigail was born and now she is thriving and she joins us now with her parents, congresswoman jamie butler and dan butler. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> she's starting to talk, sorry about that. >> we don't mind that here at all. that voice is a miracle voice. you can talk any time you would like. we hear your story and it was such a joy to see the applause there on capitol hill for you, your family and your decision. what did the doctors tell you that day in the ultrasound room? >> they told us that with 100% certainty she would not survive. they said 100% fatal.
no baby has ever survived this. she will die. and it was terrifying 'cause they said it -- she would either miscarry or if we happened to give birth and she made it that far, she would suffocate because of her lack of lung development, because of the lack of kidneys. as you can see, even well-meaning doctors don't always know. only god knows the end. because now we see abigail. see her smile. she's gorgeous. so remarkable is the sight right here. dan, when you hear that from a physician, that this is 100% not going to work out well for you guys, not going to work out well for abigail, she was going to die. when you hear that, you decided to do what? >> well, it took us kind of 24 hours of reeling and regaining our feet, but we decided -- we felt the lord calling us to be parents right away. not to wait 'til she's born, but
to begin fighting for her and advocating for her. so that's what we did. we were really grateful to be put in touch with a doctor who was willing to give her a chance. >> and try something experimental. >> that spermal team, can you -- that experimental treatment, can you explain that? >> it's very basic. it's not a high-tech treatment. it's back of saline water and a needle. >> very long needle. >> it's like a reverse am nio. but basically she would take a needle and put fluid into the womb because that was the problem, without kidney, there is no amniotic fluid. then her lungs won't grow. she put the fluid in once a week and we would watch abigail grow in the ultrasound each week. her feet were originally clubbed. we watched them unclub. her lungs grew and you can see she's happy and healthy. >> she's got a great smile. now is her treatment continuing and how is she today?
she looks great. >> she's great. she's a happy, healthy, growing little baby. one of her doctors said she's a happy baby who happens to not have kidneys. she's on dialysis every night. hopefully when she gets bigger, she'll be able to get a kidney transplant and things will be even better. >> dad said that modestly. dodd volunteered to give her one of his kidneys. we're both a match, but dad wants to be the one to do it. >> wow. >> we're just growing her. >> you've got a good mommy and daddy there. congresswoman dan, we thank you for joining us and sharing the miracle that is abigail rose with us. we love you, abigail. so thankful. >> thank you. >> amazing. still ahead, peyton manning takes a tough hit behind the line of scrimmage from his own kids, you see had here and you've got to see this cute video. next, the big tackle ir is perfe.

gun. we have a lot to discuss because mornings are better with friends. >> hello. apparently you're watching "fox & friends." >> he's not so weird. he knows the number-one cable morning news show in the world. >> he still has a perm so i think that is important at his age. we begin with this fox news alert. this morning f.b.i. investigating a chilling plot to kill house speaker john boehner. peter doocy live in washington. what do we know about this, peter? >> reporter: we know the plot to poison the man second in line for the presidency was dreamed up by the man who pours his drinks. michael r. hoyt told police during questioning that nobody checks the speaker's drinks and he could have slipped something into the speaker's wineglass already if he wanted to but he didn't. he also told an officer he
was going to use his barretta to shoot the speaker. the bartender was recently fired from a country club in wes chester ohio. his bosses say it is because he had a bad attitude and people are complaining but hoyt blamed boehner. quote, hoyt told the officer that he was jesus christ and he was going to kill boehner because boehner was mean to him at the country club and because boehner is responsible for ebola. the complaint is dated october 29. on the 28 the bartender sent a rambling e-mail to boehner's wife. hoyt has a history of mental illness. boehner's office says speaker boehner is aware of the situation and sincerely thanks the f.b.i., capitol political and local authorities in ohio for their efforts. a big driver behind this indictment for boehner's bartender is during his time at the country club this man learned all about where boehner likes to go and what boehner likes to
do, information that authorities worry could be used to his advantage if he wanted to carry out a sinister plot against the speaker. >> peter, you were just talking about how supposedly boehner was mean to the guy at the country club. any idea what he did? >> no, there's no idea. when you read through the indictment -- this is one sentence. it says that he told an officer he was jesus christ and that he was going to kill boehner because boehner was mean and because boehner is responsible for ebola. >> okay. i guess that says it all. peter doocy, thank you. >> thank goodness they have him. >> no kidding. >> here we go again. you don't like taking your shoes off? the u.s. is stepping up airport security should cost us more time again from coast to coast after the paris attacks. al qaeda again goes out of their way to brag about a would-be attack and their new so-called weapons. they put out a video that
essentially says they have an undetectable bomb that has us now checking everybody's bags. >> in the december issue of "inspire" magazine from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, it is so specific, it is so sophisticated, it tells the person how to make the bomb, how to get through security and where to sit on the plane. and they write -- and this is critical because we're going to talk about this in just a moment -- how the white house will not talk about islam regarding terrorism. "inspire" magazine writes the recipe is so easy it's something, quote, every determined muslim can prepare. >> certain foreign airports are looking on and looking at carry-on luggage. >> matt olsen to rememberer director of the national terrorism center says the group is determined to carry out an attack on a
u.s. airplane explaining this alert. >> they think this would be easier to sneak through on one of the smaller airports that don't have the super body scans. a lot of american airports do. let's talk about who is responsible for last wednesday's attack in france. we heard the attackers in the video release yesterday scream out once they got into the street after killing 12 al qaeda, besides saying we have redeemed the prophet, this is the responsibility of representing al qaeda in yemen. we heard one of the kouachi brothers call in to a tv/radio station and say the same thing. this is al qaeda in yemen. now we have more news. >> why still is the white house administration still tongue tied when it comes to terrorism? just say what it is. >> elisabeth all they've got to do -- and the new news this morning is that there is a youtube video out. they have put out a video posted earlier today and made it very clear, and there you can see nari al
ansi say the attack in paris was vengeance, al qaeda organized it, planned it and paid for it. >> josh earnest, the white house press secretary, said it seems a little odd why still at this point you're not referring to this, even though everybody else is including the attackers as being radical islam. why can't you? watch this exchange. it's just unbelievable. >> certainly wouldn't want to be in a position where i'm repeating the justification that they have cited that i think is completely illegitimate that they have invoked islam to try to justify their attacks. i think what i'm trying to do is i'm trying to describe to you what happened and what they did. these are individuals who are terrorists. we have not chosen to use that label because it does not seem to accurately describe what has happened. >> let us review what he just said. he said yes, they are terrorists but there are a lot of people out there who want to kill us.
these particular people used a religion to justify their attack. this should not be surprising. just keep in mind a couple of days ago, i think it was "meet the press," eric holder told chuck todd we are at war with terrorists who commit these heinous acts and who use islam. so this has become the talking point, the boilerplate for this administration. they are terrorists who use a religion. they are not islamic terrorists. they are terrorists. >> and they are individuals, which i think is troubling; right? because you're either offended by what radical islamists do or you're offended by the term radical islamists. which one is it? >> i hope we don't find out in a book years later that the reason nobody put out sunday -- by the way charlie hebdo put out a new magazine. they usually put out 60,000. they now publish in
multiple languages and what are we up to? three million? >> three million sold out. 300 available here in the united states. we believe they are gone as well. i was looking on-line. if you want a copy you can beit on ebay for 500 pounds in great britain. we showed you the cover. it shows the prophet humid and it says "all is forgiven" with a single teardrop. >> which by the way i need an explanation. who is forgiving who? eight minutes after the hour. it is the first time i've seen heather nauert. it is tradition we don't look at you before the show. >> kind of like a bride. i've got some news that is actually somewhat related to what we were just talking about, those attacks in paris. that's the accused boston bomber is asking for a trial delay because of the terror attacks in france. jury selection is now underway in dzhokhar tsarnaev's case but his
lawyers are arguing it should be put on hold for at least a month because of the comparison of the two terror attacks they say could create prejudice. isis now operating in afghanistan at -- and a former gitmo prisoner leading that charge. he was released from gitmo back in 2007. now he's been rallying jihadists to join that violent terror group. news of the former prisoner's recruiting comes as republican senators are trying to slow the gitmo releases. one senator says we need a, quote, time-out. ann curry is leaving nbc after 25 years -- well sort of. there are reports curry has a new kind of development deal with the network and she may still occasionally appear on the air at nbc. curry was forced off the "today" show more than two

school some canned goods. >> you mean for the starving people around the world? >> which is common. >> no. bring in canned goods because if somebody with a gun comes in to a school, as a last resort, we want the kids to throw a tuna can at the guy with a gun. >> we'd love to know what you think about this. about 15 parents showed up to have a meeting about this and there weren't many complaints. they said it would be used as a last resort. they would be stored in the classroom. students wouldn't be carrying them around in the school for fun and wouldn't be using them on one another. this is a last minute defense given to the students to empower them. >> i like that word empower rather than being a victim. i don't know if i can hit a would-be attacker with evaporated milk, if that is going to work to my advantage. >> do you think you could survive a bunch of cans coming at you. >> it would definitely hurt. sounds like a little rascals episode. >> are they going to practice? think about it if you have a tuna can that is kind of
hard to throw but a big peach can -- >> clinged peaches, you can't get that off the ground. >> it sound like we're making this up but this is absolutely true. now there is another alternative and that would be if the staff actually had guns you probably wouldn't need to send the kid to school with a can of sweet peas. >> the teachers are taught to barricade bathroom doors and may be considering a training program there. but they're at least doing something. i don't think it is a bad idea necessarily and they will donate the cans if they're not used at the end of the year. >> if you got hit by a can and it changed your behavior, write us. >> can it work? >> if you are the guy who has intruded into a classroom and some kid just hit you with a can -- >> i think you're going to duck. coming up straight ahead, here's what we say. >> president obama couldn't make it to paris for that antiterror unity rally but
he will have time to deal with another international matter. a meeting of the castros. >> and the washington rumor mills swirling around a potential run for mitt romney. could the third time be a charm for him? we're going to discuss. ♪

the obama campaign did a better job in turning out the voters. i think mitt romney ran a strong campaign and he's a good candidate. >> he didn't get people excited enough to come out and that is what is relatively baffling. i want you to hear rand paul when asked this same question. listen. >> i think even with all his assets he wasn't able to attract a big enough constituency to win and there was every opportunity for him to win last time. i think it's time for fresh blood. >> your reaction? >> i think we're going to have a number of very good conservative candidates to choose from for this nomination. it's going to be the strongest field in recent memory. i'm almost giddy at the thought of having five or six people on that stage, including, if governor romney decides and if governor bush decides and if some of our current governors like chris christie perry, if they run. you can envision every one of them being a very solid leader for this country and i think it's a wonderful
prospect to have. all of them are conservative enough to get the voters out. >> very interesting. we have some of the other hopefuls you mentioned. as we see that, let me bring up one of the names. governor christie gave a state of the state address, very much a national look at where he's going to set up a super pac. is he somebody who is formidable or was he more formidable two years ago? >> i think if you look at governor christie or any of our sitting governors or former governors bush and romney, they've got records of accomplishment in their state and in their nation. they've shown that they can get things done. they can bring people together and make things happen. that stands in sharp contrast to what people talk about, the do-nothing contrast four years of hillary clinton as secretary of state without a clear record of success. i think they have great records to run on, any one of them. >> you're the finance guy on the republican governors association. $100 million already in jeb's coffers. are you worried that there
is not enough money to go around and the best candidate might not emerge because they don't have the contacts? >> a lot is being made of the money race right now and i think money is important but i don't believe money is going to be the determinant on who our nominee is. i think it is going to rest more on who is able to come forth with the most compelling message, who can best demonstrate their track record of executing that compelling message. and i believe that everybody is going to be very, very competitive on financing. i think it is going to be separated by their message, by the quality of the campaign and the quality of their records. >> i agree. it is going to be really exciting. those on the left are also intrigued by what's happening on the right. thanks so much. great to have you this morning. coming up straight ahead, caught on video, the new high-tech way thieves are breaking into cars and the police don't even know about it. how you can protect yourself next. and going viral. this dog loves the park so much, he rides the bus by himself.

video. a man in seattle approaches a minivan, finds it locked and with the flip of his backpack somehow manages to turn on the interior lights and unlocks the car stealing your belongings. >> how did he do that? they think by using a high-tech device police are calling a mystery box. how do you protect yourself from a guy in front of your house using the mystery box? the chief communications officer of the national insurance crime bureau joins us. >> good morning. >> explain this device. what is it exactly? >> there is a variety of things out there on the market probably available on the internet for a few dollars, maybe $100 or so. they may be jamming the frequency or mocking the frequency of the remote fob that you use in your car. >> when you're locking your car, if somebody is nearby and they have a code graber they actually get the code out of the air and turn around and open your car when you're gone?
>> that's one way to do it or there's devices out there that we think today may be able to simulate it. you don't even have to be around. they act similar to the fob. the important thing is they may be able to open the car. we have no evidence they are able to start the car. so they can get in and maybe steal your property if you live it in visible sight but doesn't mean they're going to be able to take the car. >> or hijack the car if somebody is in there and use their keys. >> when i saw that video, i thought to myself i will never leave -- lock my car with a key fob again like at a truck stop or out on the highway because who knows who is sitting over there waiting. >> you're better off to at least lock your car and take your keys out. that is the important thing. one weekend in nashville, 22 car thefts. 10 of them were from people leaving their keys in the car unlocked. >> what can we do? >> it is a cat and mouse game. we've gone from a 1.7 million car thefts in a
year in the 1990's to 700,000 a year now. >> what else can help? >> don't leave your valuables in sight. don't leave your car registration there so they can get your personal information. don't leave your garage door opener in the car. take it with you. park somewhere where it's well let a safe place. if they're going to get it, they're going to get it. these folks are professional and always trying to beat the system. make it as difficult as possible but don't hand it over to them. >> i think in one of my cars there is a thing where you push and a little metal key comes out. if you stick it in the door or lock it that way they can't grab the code? >> there's all kinds of dip systems. all manufacturers use different systems and change them constantly. they say they haven't seen anything that can defeat their systems and we're hoping that's correct. it's scary.

he ended up saving the day. a woman left her cell phone in the car so ogden police decided to call that phone. instead of the carjacker answering the phone the little boy did. the suspect then abandoned the car leaving aden the little boy alone. police told him to hop into the front seat and start honking the horn. >> he honked the horn until there was an officer there and we were close and we got to him. he was scared; that was for sure but he's okay. >> glad he's back with his mommy there. that suspect is still on the run. aden is now safe. and that is another example. we have these stories all the time when little kids get left in cars. you can never leave a child in a car not even for a minute. >> we had to leave maria molina alone because she wanted to work in the elements. >> the weather, where it's 17 degrees right now and it feels much colder. >> the current wind chill out here is currently 6

i was on the next bus after her, and she was at the dog park. >> how did she know where to get off? >> that's her stop. it's only five or six stops down the road but there are some turns before you get there. she knows. she knows her stop. >> she's a dog. >> have you had any complaints at all? you know what? the metro transit the agency, they actually love the dog there, it makes everybody happy. but has anybody complained yet? >> yeah. you know there's always a -- it's a rainbow out there. everybody's not the same. there's always a dog hater. >> there's a cat person over there. >> she brings a smile to most people's day. even when we're on the bus, we're together we're not really together. she kind of rolls solo. she's really independent. she's always 30 40 feet away from me and grabs a seat, grabs a window and watches for the dog park. >> if she's not riding with
you, that kind of says something. she's trying to be as independent as possible. jeff does the bus driver just let her on free or does have to -- does she bring a token? how does that work? >> she has a pass. it's a rapid ride system. everybody has passes and the doors open. there's multiple doors. there's like three doors open. she usually gets on the middle or the back. >> has she ever gotten off anywhere else besides the dog park? >> no. >> that's amazing. >> that's a very smart dog you've got. >> good dog. >> i'm on the bus right behind her when she does jump by herself but it's gotten so i don't have to worry. she's got friends on the bus. she's made some commuter buddies. >> jeff, i didn't know it was a possibility that you could do this. i didn't know it was
allowed. >> any dog with a pass can do it. >> didn't know. >> i didn't know either. it was a fright the first time but it's worked out all right. >> are you going to the park today? >> yeah. >> she is. >> later this morning, you know. >> jeff, has it gotten to the stainl -- stage you feel confident she can get on the bus by herself go the four or five stops go to the dog park, play for a little while and then get back on the bus and come home and you can still be at home watching tv? >> no. no. we haven't come that far yet. >> so when you go to the park, send us some pictures. if you're going to go to the park before our show ends send us pictures because we'd like to see her at the park today. >> yeah she'll be there. >> jeff young and eclipse, the bus-hopping dog out there in seattle. jeff and eclipse, thank you very much. >> good dog eclipse. >> thank you. >> you were good too, jeff.

about 15 minutes till the top of the hour. some quick headlines from the supreme court. the highest court deciding if this man can have a beard while in prison. gregory holt recently converted to islam and want a beard for religious purposes. the arkansas jail says it's against the rules. his case focusing on the right to religious expression in jail. another ruling today expected in the case of a pregnant woman versus the ups. peggy young was placed on unpaid leave after she became pregnant and could no longer lift heavy boxes there. young says that she was discriminated against, but ups says they followed their union agreement and company policy. steve? >> thanks, elisabeth. reverse the ruling that's the outcry from a group of muslims in the state of new jersey who say the new york city police department surveillance program violates their civil rights. but should safety trump privacy? joining us is criminal
defense attorney and former morris county new jersey prosecutor robert bianki. in the past the surveillance program which a lot on the left said you can't do that it's been upheld by the court. and now the court of appeals in philly has taken a lookback at whether or not it is legal. you say what about it? >> law enforcement has to use the rule of common sense when they're doing investigations and they're interdicting in the communities where there could be a problem whether it is a gang case or mob case. no constitutional right are being violated unless they go into the areas of the fourth amendment which is search and seizure wiretaps, things of this nature. >> they're not hanging a wiretap on the wall of the mosque. they're just going in and listening. >> when i was a prosecutor i think this confused people. it may from a policy point
of view not be something that is good because some people who are innocent will feel feel like they're be targeted but that doesn't mean it's unconstitutional. if they have a specific tailored reason for going in there in order to gain actionable intelligence after they get that intelligence and it leads to criminality they can go to the judiciary and get warrants and try to construct a criminal case. >> let's back up to what you said a moment ago. this is essentially the same thing that prosecutors have done, law enforcement has done in the past with the mob. the way they get in the mob is the same way they have infiltrated these communities. >> when you have a serious criminal risk and obviously it is a cost-benefit analysis terrorism is obviously substantial, you don't do that by sitting behind a desk. you have to gather information, run down leads and then of course it needs to be tailored and speck. if there are groups that are not involved in terrorism, if there are groups and individuals that aren't doing anything wrong, they need to be disregarded. it can't be to the level where it becomes
harassment. but what they need to do is get out into the community. you don't do it by waving a magic wand. you've got to get out there. >> here's what the legal director for constitutional rights says, he says this is a blunder abouts suspicionless program where the only criteria is religion. what do you say about that? >> it is not religion. every religious practice has individuals in it that are doing something that is not appropriate. what it is is targeting criminals. if there is a risk that there is a criminal operating within a religious sector or religious group that is where they go. if they're operating in social clubs that's where they go. we know from history and you have to use the rule of common sense that some of the terrorist related activities 9/11 included emanated out of these religious institutions. that is what drove law enforcement to that location. >> if they're not breaking the law you would think they could go in and just listen. >> the italian american
community dealt with this and i was on the front enl of this. some of the legitimate claims these people may have is you may be on a list and you may be doing absolutely nothing wrong. that is why law enforcement tailors itself so that those people that are innocent don't get trapped into this thing where it affects their lives but they need to be there in order to get the bad guys. >> there are a lot of bad guys out there. robert, thank you. coming up on this wednesday, a fox news alert, the u.s. section of the international space station just was evacuated a couple of minutes ago. what we're learning from nasa straight ahead. you're going to want to hear what's going on up in space. you want a well-paying job in health care? cheryl casone with the job fair you can attend in your pajamas. why did i put on clothes? 4

like this hp 15" laptop now only $249.99. office depot & officemax. gear up for great. good morning. it's wednesday, january 14. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, airports across the country on edge this morning ramping up security after terrorists reveal a secret bomb making recipe and even describe how to sneak through the tsa. the chilling details on that ahead. sounds like something out of a james bond movie. the f.b.i. foiling a plot to kilt speaker of the house. how john boehner's bartender wanted to take him out. >> wow. and a young days ask confused matthew mcconaghey in one of his first auditions on tape now revealed. >> today, man, you guys join me.
being alive. >> we're going to take you inside the room from one of his very first auditions on tape. this isn't on tape. it's live from new york. it's "fox & friends." >> what's up? i'm cool j and you're watching "fox & friends." >> my favorite all time feature in the history of my years with "fox & friends" which dates back to 1963 ll cool j. he brome to a party and taught me how to be cool. >> he is a good time. he's fun and a great sport. >> he's aptly named. >> the reason we played that is because today is todd or ll cool j's birthday. he's 46. >> there is a party you're not invited to. >> absolutely. >> we wish him well and thank
you for joining us. we're going to get to that fox news alert. murder by poison? the f.b.i. investigating a chilling plot to kill house speaker john boehner. peter doocy is live in washington with what we know. this is bizarre and dangerous. what else can you tell us? >> reporter: i can tell you wine in westchester ohio, could have killed the speaker of the house that if boehner's bartendser followed through on this plot which he said would have been easy because nobody looks at what he's pouring for the speaker. that bartendser, 44-year-old michael r.hoyt. the reason he wanted boehner dead, he told the officer that he was jesus christ and that he was going to kill boehner because boehner was mean to him at the country club and boehner is responsible for ebola. he was caught because back in october he called 911 where he explained to police that he had been fired from the country club
where he had been working for five-plus years. then he threatened to shoot john boehner who he blamed for his job loss with a baretta 380 automatic. it's worth noting the bosses at the country club say it was a bad attitude and not boehner that got him fired. before his arrest he even e-mailed mrs. boehner saying they needed to talk. but the note was rambling and she was confused. at that spokesman for barren says, quote, he is aware of this situation and sincerely thanks the f.b.i. and capitol police and local authorities in ohio for their efforts. the accused bartendser has a history of mental illness but from being around boehner for years, he knows a lot about what the speaker likes to do and where he likes to go, which is why authorities want him locked up. back to you in new york. >> probably a good idea. thank you very much. meanwhile, we have another fox news alert for you. today the united states is stepping up airport security on the heels of the fact that
inspire magazine, which is a publication of al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula, in their december magazine has given its followers perhaps the most lethal, most sophisticated recipe to cook up a hidden bomb to blow up an airplane ever. tells them exactly how to make the bomb how to get it through the security line like that one there, and where to sit on the plane to blow it up and bring it down. >> these could be especially a problem for smaller airports that don't have that high-tech body images, security devices. that's why baggages being checked with serb care. >> there will be reaction. they're still going through bags at times square. can you imagine that? i'm not going to say what i discovered. >> plus, also, yesterday came out, something that we knew already. if you heard the tape that was released yesterday you saw those brothers after they shot
and killed, 12, wounded 11, say this is al-qaeda in yellen. we are doing this in the name of al-qaeda in yemen. vengeance, yes. then yesterday another tape emerges of a guy saying yeah, these guys trained with us. they do this in reference and redemption and revenge for killing allah al-awlaki and kahan. they were killed a couple years ago by a drone strike. >> that photo you saw the yemeni branch of the al-qaeda, their leader supposedly there, claiming responsibility. >> not just responsibility, but we planned it. we told them when to pull the trigger and we financed it. they gave them $20,000 to pull it off. >> by the way t took a while. these guys were looked at after a while and said, i don't think they're up to anything. we're going to pull back. imagine if we got a chance it listen and talk to and fully interrogate the underwear bomber because he was across the hall from one of the older brothers.
and you can imagine the information we could have gotten if he had not lawyered up hours after. >> there is a new proposal to put that in a time out in terms of the release of prisoners soon to be looked at by the president. but we want to get to greg palkot. charlie hebdo released its first issue since 12 people were killed. the paper selling out in just minutes. greg palkot joining us live from paris. he's had really the best coverage of these horrific events today with this release. what are people there saying? >> reporter: they're saying they want to buy it elisabeth. if you're looking for the hottest item in paris, it's not a fashion outfit, it's this latest edition of this newspaper. the first edition put out since the slaughter at their newspaper offices. that was one week ago today. it's all sold out at the news stand behind us and all across
paris. it features of mohammed muslim leaders have been upset. one called it an act of war. we want to do find out what the people on the street thought. take a listen. >> it looks like a publication, but i'm charlie. >> you are charlie? >> yes, of course. >> i'm not shocked by this. >> you're not? >> no. >> other people could be. >> probably. >> it's just like to remind that it's still possible even if what happened what happened. >> it's still possible to print those? >> yeah. >> reporter: this was put together by the surviving member s of the staff, who showed up by an artist who showed up for a meeting late on wednesday. it's available, you can buy it in the u.s. eventually. we've seen it on ebay. five-dollar paper going for over
$1,000. it's a high price to pay, guys. but people who put together this paper over the years in the name of freedom of expression paid an even higher price. >> i hope they still buy it a month from now and two months from now. in one way, they are losing the pr war if they wanted to bring them to their knees. >> i'm looking now, there is a kip of charlie hebdo the latest one on ebay for $117,000. >> wow. >> okay. i'll wait for it to come down a little. meanwhile, there is so much involved in the story regarding charlie hebdo islamic terrorism although the administration refuses to say it's islamic terrorism. now they say they're terrorists who have used a religion to justify it. the president of the united states, since his first day, talked about closing gitmo. here is the problem with closing gitmo and it goes to yemen. remember, both these brothers went to yemen forearms training. the top recruiter for isis right
now is a guy who was in gitmo, but he was released. he went back over to yemen. he says, quote, it's my duty to spur the muslims to kill the americans. so far he's recruited something like 3,000 people to fight for isis. >> the former taliban commander when they get out, they're like rock stars so people flock to them. they were let out during the bush years. we have to learn from our empties stakes and stop letting them out whether it's uruguay or some small island nation or back to yemen where they go with shovels and make tunnels. >> that's why. senator in new hampshire along with some others are calling for a time out in terms of these released. when you have a 30% reengagement rate, she says it's the wild, wild west. we need to stop it now. >> detainees that are being released by the administration many were designated high risk. that means high risk for reengagement for terrorism.
that's where the focus needs to be. not in the president trying to fulfill a campaign promise. it has to be on protecting the american people and our troops and our allies. >> that's what she's putting forward, would repeal the current law that the administration would transfer and reduce the population at gitmo to 127. >> even if it pass, josh earnest was asked, would the president do this unilaterally. he said we'll consider all our options. he'd do it anyway. >> heather nauert has some headlines and we start in space. >> that's right. a breaking story that we're just getting information about. it is a fox flus alert. evacuation of the u.s. air crew from their section of the international space station. there is apparently been a dangerous ammonia leak on board. right now crews are moving over to the russian section of the space station. they're now sealing off the american section to try to prevent a leak of that ammonia. we'll be following that story and give you the latest as it
develops. overnight, officials say they have found the house language of the doomed air asia flight 8051. these are some photos we are just get not guilty from within underwater camera. you can see the company's slogan painted on the side. now everyone can fly. that's what it reads. part of the wing was also discovered alongside the body of the plane. officials say they have finally downloaded the flight data recorder from one of the black boxes and that will give them clues about what caused the crash. hire at home, extreme weather breaking a water main. it sends water shooting 40 feet into the air and that took down the roof of that gas station. wow. watch as it comes crashing down. the damage total is about $65,000. that happening in tulsa oklahoma. then we're getting some incredible images out of detroit. look at this house. it looks more like an icicle. a pipe burst inside that home and caused water to pour through the walls, leaving it frozen
solid, including the windows there. wow. temperatures in that area have been well below zero. everyone knows that famous line from dazed and confused. remember this. >> about these high school girls, man? >> i get older. they stay the same age. >> it was delivered perfectly by matthew mcconaghey back then. but even oscar winners had to audition at one point. take a look at this. >> i love high school girls. i keep getting older. they stay the same age. >> it was released for the first time. it was his audition tape from "dazed and confused." you can see he breezes through those lines. it was his first ever film. he sure did a great job. and that's he went on to become an oscar winner. >> i would have hired him. >> like a time capsule. >> he's a nice guy. happy for him.
>> still can't figure out interstellar. >> it was a terrible movie. i didn't like it. >> there was a lot of black holes. >> it was about an hour too long. next up huge moves this morning in the race for president in 2016 and potential presidential candidates throwing around slogans. >> there are a lot of folks in washington who argue that the way republicans should win is that we should nominate a candidate from the mushy middle. >> but what words really work on the campaign trail? frank luntz next

this morning brand-new information about potential runs from governor chris christie governor mitt romney, senator hillary clinton, and more. >> some potential presidential candidates already throwing around some slogans. but will they work? we're going to ask fox news contributor just that question frank luntz joins us now. good morning to you. we want to start first with kevin mccarthy. watch. >> i will work every single day to make sure this conference has the courage to lead with the wisdom to listen and will turn this country around. >> certainly a leader for the republican side. what are your thoughts on those words?
>> brilliant. the courage to lead, the wisdom to listen is about the best single statement i've heard from a member of congress in the last 12 months. i'm going to steal that language because that is exactly what the american people are looking for. they want to know that their opinions are reflected in what members of congress do and they want to know that those members of congress are truly paying attention to the constituents that elected them. kevin mccarthy hit it perfectly with that phrase. >> meaningful line. >> ted cruz asked to comment on the candidacy of jeb bush and governor mitt romney. listen. >> there are a lot of folks in washington who argue that the way republicans should win is that we should nominate a candidate from the mushy middle. what i think that people are going to assess is who is standing up and leading? look at the great issues of the day. look at the great challenges whether it is bringing back jobs and growth and economic opportunity, whether it's defending our constitutional liberties or whether it is
restoring america's leadership in the world. >> senator cruz has got that big picture and for republican primary voters, they want to replace the current big picture of barak obama. so cruz has been effective. that language right there articulates the reason why he's so popular among republican primary voters. they don't just want little details. they want to know what your vision is, what your principles are and that's what cruz explains. >> we're going to hop over their political line and take a sound from president obama talking about raising the minimum wage and growing the middle class. watch. >> about three in four americans support raising the minimum wage. that's because we believe that in the wealthiest nation on earth, nobody who works full time should ever have to raise a family in poverty. if everybody does their part, if we all work together, we can make sure that the tide starts lifting all boats again. we can get wages and incomes growing faster. we can make sure the middle class is growing.
>> so he focuses there on the middle class. but what americans are really more focused on is hard working taxpayers. i expect that you're going to hear much of that language in state of the union next tuesday. by the way people who are watching this want to participate in our live fox news state of the union focus group they need to go to luntzglobeal.com. barak obama is too focused on a specific segment of american society. when the public is saying let's focus on all of us. >> right. frank, ten seconds, are you surprised mitt romney is giving it another shot? >> am i surprised? yes. is he credible? absolutely. does he have a lot of questions he's got to answer? certainly does. >> frank luntz, thank you so much. thank you for joining us. >> always great to have you here. up next, airlines making millions off of your baggage. but are they keeping more of your money than they should be? what we just found out you might not like. >> this guy thought he could get away with rob ago helpless old

the answer to the trivia question of the day is jason bateman and our winner is snooki from new york city. congress graduals. you're getting a cop of "george washing(-9 talk about trouble with schools a school in upstate new york racking up a $40 million deficit thanks in part to a program that pays for the teachers' plastic surgery. i'm not kidding. face lifts liposuction maybe both. $5 million worth of that work and the school has to cover them thanks to an outdated union contract. joining me is the chief financial operating officer for buffalo schools, barbara smith. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i noticed and we showed earlier in the program that the union newsletter includes ads
from three, not one, not two but three cosmetic service priors asking for teachers to come back for such procedures such as botox, breast enhancement, body contouring hair transplants. i mean this seems to be conclude conclude tag -- talk about hand in the pocket how upsetting is this? >> it's very upsetting and we've got ways to eliminate the cosmetic surgery rider even though it's expired. >> this is on the moms and dads taxpayers' wallet. they're paying for these surgeries to take place. how much money is being spent on these? >> annually, a little over $5 million. >> that's a whopping amount of money. nearly $5 million here. then when you look at -- i'm just thinking there has got to be a better way for that money to be spent. perhaps it would be on the education of the students there because buffalo students' scores right now just 12.2% of buffalo kids rated proficient or better
in gush. 13.1% of them, only that number rated proficient or better in math. that 5.4 million could be better spent elsewhere perhaps? >> yes. we totally agree with you. we would certainly like to put those dollars toward additional student support, smaller class sizes, extended learning time. >> this is a common sense issue i think for every american out there who knows that the taxpayer shouldn'ting footing the bill for these type of cosmetic surgeries. but what's stopping the change? $5.4 million spent on that. what's the block? >> the block is essentially an outdated union contract that expired in 2004 that continues based upon new york state law. so absent a new agreement or at least the union leadership agreeing to end the rider, the district has to continue the benefits of that plan. >> it seems as though it's a thick relationship here. if you have advertisement in the union publication for such
surgery, a handshake deal perhaps? >> well, i don't know about that. we've offered -- last year we offered every member who had the benefit $500 and a health benefit card to give up the cosmetic surgery rider which still would have saved us $4 million. >> what was the result of that? >> the union leadership did not take it to their members for approval. >> really a shame. barbara smith, we want to thank you for joining us this morning and hope this can be resolved soon for the kids. >> thank you canned and ready. talk about schools. one principal asking parents to arm their kids are nonperrishable food items 'cause throwing cans could stun an intruder with a gun. and bob newark suddenly making huge headlines thanks to his look alike football referee. that ref joins us live to react to all the commotion. we'll see if he throws the flag

we're the oak ridge boys. >> you are watching "fox & friends". that guy has quite a voice. i've noticed some e-mail. they're film ago commercial in front of ou building of the there is a coffee cart right there. they got the movie lights. apparently it has something to do with coffee. >> and winter. if you are traveling today, please take special note because we have a fox news alert because airport security is stepping up from coast to coast. it has a lot to do with the paris attacks and the publication of inspire magazine and the threat of a hidden bomb and a lot of people are focusing on carry on baggage and there are special inspections at this hour. >> that's right. and new video just released on youtube as al-qaeda in yemen reiterating responsibility for the charlie hebdo attack in paris. a terrorist attack there one of the leaders claiming they are behind the funding and motivation. >> yeah. so there you've got inspire
magazine giving people the recipe to put this super potent bomb on an airplane that according to the magazine quote, the recipe is so easy it's something quote, every determined muslim can prepare. however, whatever you do with the white house don't talk about islamic extremists. sure. they are terrorists, but they're not islamic terrorists. why? because that's not accurate. hold your jaw up and listen to josh earnest. >> i certainly wouldn't want to be in a position where i'm repeating the justification that they have cited that think is completely illegitimate. that they have invoked islam to try to justify their attacks. i think what i'm trying to do is describe to you what happened and what they did. these are individuals who are terrorists. we have not chosen to use that label because it doesn't seem to accurately describe what happened. >> really?
times square bomber, same thing. subway bomber, same thing. fort hood, 9-11, what about in spain, what about in britain and paris? >> you know what josh earnest said, he said they are terrorists, but what they did -- sure, they're islamic, but they used islam as an excuse to justify the attack. >> wow. >> reading from the koran. >> reducing and side stepping that. it's like terrorist taboo when it comes to thes who and their administration. a lot happening. we'll move to our other top story. i cannot believe this happened. >> murder by poison of the speaker of the house? well, this morning the f.b.i. investigating a plot to kill the speaker of the house, john boehner. who would do the killing? the bartender with poison or a gun, right peter doocy? >> that's right. this bartender in ohio says nobody watched what went into speaker boehner's wine glass so he says it would be easy to slip something in. the man who allegedly wanted to
kill boehner 44-year-old michael hoyt. his motive, according to court documents, quote, he told the officer that he was jesus christ and that he was going to kill boehner because boehner was mean to him at the country club and because boehner is responsible for ebola. the plan never materialized because hoyt called 911 in october and when police responded, he told them that he was going to shoot the speaker with a baretta 380 automatic because he thinks boehner had him fired from the country club in westchester ohio. that gun was later recovered from his home and the bosses at the country club say it was a bad attitude and not boehner that got him the boot. hoyt has a history of mental illness and prescribed medication two years ago but stopped taking it after six months. now a spokesman for the speaker is out with a statement and say, quote, speaker boehner is aware of the situation and sincerely thanks the f.b.i. capitol police and local authorities in ohio for their efforts.
it's worth pointing out that court documents say boehner told the capitol police and the f.b.i. he knows this bartender, but can't remember any negative interaction. back to you. >> wow. so bizarre. thanks peter. >> although the guy is a complete nitwit because e-mailed him and his wife and said, by the way, i could poison you any time. >> as crazy as the guy who shot eggen and lennon. >> let's talk about 2016. the horse race has more than started. first off governor christie back in the news. he thinks he's going to form some type of president yam pac, leadership pac sometime this month. he knows he can not wait considering all the news about republicans get not guilty and raising money. >> you have mitt romney calling on political allies and operate actives to get some momentum there again. >> he's calling all his guys.

right of jeb bush, that's what governor romney said he'll do, he'll still be to the left of the party. they clearly are different. ted cruz, rand paul jeb bush, as well as mitt romney. >> let us know which one of those names look like a front runner. >> there are a couple of dozen on the right and one or two on the left. >> i know. >> elizabeth warren said yesterday, i absolutely, positively am not running for president. ever. you can print that. >> looks like hillary there. >> i absolutely pledge to toss to heather nauert. if you don't believe me, i'll do it now. heather? >> you're a man of your word. good morning. let's start with a fox news alert. this coming in, a new round of air strikes against isis in syria and also in iraq. u.s. and coalition forces targeting the strongholds with six strikes using bomber and also fighter aircraft and then in iraq, another 12 strikes were carried out using attack and fighter drones. another fox news alert.
the crew on board the international space station is now totally safe following some really scary moments earlier this morning. there was an ammonia leak and it forced american crews to quickly evacuate from their side of the space station and head over to the russian side. fortunately, we are told that everyone is now safe. you may remember crews picking a dangerous space walk back in 2013 to fix an actual ammonia leak. >> while you were sleeping, officials finding the fuselage of air asia flight 8501. these are pictures from an underwater camera. you can see the company slogan painted on the side of the fuselage. now everyone can fly. that's what it says. part of the wing was also discovered alongside the body of that aircraft. we may soon learn more about what caused that crash. officials have downloaded the flight data recorder from one of the black boxes. and then an update to bring you on the amazing story of those two climbers who are trying to do what seems to many

form of self-defense should an attacker get into the school. this is in alabama and is a middle school there. the principal just wants the kids able to defend themselves. >> they say if a bad guy comes in the class, then they'll be able to throw a can of too in a at the person. >> you hit them with chick peas -- >> ouch. >> they also suggest in regular classrooms to use a textbook. this school is taking it one step further. let's have textbooks. let's have cans of cling peaches as well. we asked you if you thought this was a good idea. keep in mind, they would need to resort to canned goods if staff members were armed. taffy on facebook says this, i know it sounds funny, but i believe in fighting back any way i can. this is better than nothing. >> i agree with that. stacy says, i wouldn't want my kid to be that close to a gunman. how about hiring a retired military personnel to protect all our children at school? that is great idea. >> great suggestion there. and faith suggests this, it's called counter measures and
empowers students to take action and keeps them from being sitting ducks in hostile situations. you're comments have been pouring in. we love the fact you're responding. this is a drill and what it was like. you see the kids getting their cans prior to this and throwing them. those are textbooks. that would hurt. imagine cans. the school says if they were not used as self-defense, which we hope they would not have to be used, that they will donate them to a local food pantry. >> and where do you get to volunteer to be the intruder? >> yeah. >> did you volunteer yourself? >> not really. >> what do you think? keep the e-mail coming in. we'll share more later online. his decision to protect his fellow soldiers got him nearly two decades in prison. but what if prosecutors got it all wrong? peter johnson, jr. is here next with the new push for that man's freedom. and a young dazed and confused matthew mcconaghey is in one of his first auditions. people cannot stop watching this. >> hey, man, you got a joint.

my son has been grieving because even though he did what he felt he had to do and he said if he was in the same situation, he would do it again. he chose to protect his troops. >> here on "fox & friends," a heart broken mother of army lieutenant clint lorance says her son was sent to jail for protecting his troops, which was his duty. men approached his platoon on motorcycles and he gave the order to engage. they opened fire. two of the three men were killed. the army said those men did not have ties to terrorist. so the lieutenant went to prison to serve a 20 year sentence. his attorneys are accusing army lawyers of withholding crucial evidence of the men's terror connections. now thousands of people are petitioning the white house to pardon him and even members of congress are calling for a new trial. joining us now, fox news legal
analyst, peter johnson jr. who brought us this story. >> if he and his lawyers are right, this is one of the greatest railroading in the history of an american fighting man. they are now saying in a modification petition to general clark, the commanding officer, that quote, the prosecution arguing and closing that there is no suggestion that the alleged victims were taliban. as it turns out there has good bit suggesting that they were, are associated with terror. this is legal error. the law requires a new trial. that's right. the supreme court precedent that says if you withhold evidence bringing material, that's evidence leading the jury to believe that you're not guilty of the crime, then you get a new trial. what they have done, steve, is expose new evidence that they say the army had, the defense department had and failed to turn over. >> and that's the troubling part. apparently there was evidence and we've got information to put up on the screen -- one man killed was a co-conspirator to a
man serving a 20-year sentence for ied attacks in afghanistan. the man lorance was attempted to engage was ied in kandahar and the guy interviewed was incarcerated in afghanistan and linked to four separate ied events. peter, when we last talked about this, we were looking to help this man get clemency. that didn't happen. what's left? >> what's left is a new petition modification to general clark and if that do not work, go to the court of appeals, military court of appeals. also there is a petition that has gone up now to the white house. they have about 80,000 or so signatures at this point petitioning the president to look at this particular issue. obviously this is not a cut and dry issue. there are some soldiers that say that lieutenant lorance was out of control overzealous and that the decision to fire on these
afghannies was inappropriate and wrong and resulting in this conviction. the lieutenant's lawyers say the jury never heard. the jury was never told that. the jury was never told about the terror ties and what they've done is put together this impressive dossier showing the terror connections that the defense department knew of five of the seven people involved with this incident. >> peter, it's cut and dry. the government withheld evidence that his lawyers say would have exonerated him. >> the lowest low life. the biggest dirt bag in america is entitled to the constitution. why shouldn't a lieutenant who spent ten years fighting for america be entitled to those same protection as soon as we don't know whether he's innocent or guilty. but give this man a fair trial. >> you just mentioned that somewhere in the neighborhood of 80,000 signed up. if you would like to help this
guy, go to white house.gov and sign the petition for mr. lorance. >> thanks so much. >> thank you. see what happens. coming up, jimmy carter says the terrorist attacks in france, israel's fault. you're going to want to hear that. he's straight ahead. michael keaton's words of wisdom gone viral. in a household in which i was raised, the themes were pretty simple. he said hard work, don't quit. be appreciative. be respectful. how do you make sure your kids wind up with mr. mom's attitude? dr. keith able has the advice we all need. ♪ ♪ you just got a big bump in miles. so this is a great opportunity for an upgrade. sound good? great. because you're not you you're a whole airline... and it's not a ticket you're upgrading it's your entire operations,

welcome back. it's time for quick courtroom headlines. nascar star kurt busch claiming his ex-girlfriend is a trained assassin. in court over her request for a restraining order he says she travels the world on covert missions to kill people. the claim is called, absolutely ludicrous. the supreme court determining if this beard can have a beard while in prison. he converted to islam and wants a beard for religious purposes. also expected is a ruling on the case of a pregnant woman versus ups. she was placed on unpaid leave after she became pregnant and could no longer lift heavy boxes steve. meanwhile, a new report reveals some pretty scary numbers showing new government regulations could cost the taxpayers, all of us, nearly $1.9 trillion this year.
>> incredible. so what is it going to mean for the united states economy? >> there is only one person to call. fox news' own you know maria bartiromo. costing atrial? >> it's unbelievable. the fact is these numbers are so extraordinary, this $1.9 trillion number is more than certain gdps of countries around the world. it is such a high number. and as a result of this, you are going to see higher bills. that's the bottom line. i think when you factor in the kind of increases that we're seeing in the cost of regulation, in particular the epa latest regulation has been the most onerus. when i speak to ceos, they say this particular ruling and cost of regulation from the epa is going to mean they will be forced to pass on the price to consumers. so i think what people miss here in terms of increasing and
talking about increasing regulation is the fact that at the end of the day, a company is not going to say, oh well. we're just going to swallow this higher cost and we will just make less money. no. that's not what they're going to do. they are going to go forward and say, okay. this is costing us more. so this will cost our customers more. increasingly ceos are telling me that we will see electricity prices in particular go higher. americans should watch their electricity bills. that's what's going to be the result. higher bills there, but as a result of this epa report. and legislation. >> and speaking of ceos i see behind you, a sign that says jpmorgan. i hear you have an exclusive. >> we are at the jpmorgan health care conference. i have an exclusive interview with jamie dimon. this is an interview which is exclusive and his first interview since surviving throat cancer. he has battled a lot bigger issues than regulation and cost of regulation over the last
year. he's been balloting throat cancer. he said he has a good bill of health. he told me all about the last year and he also talked about the health of the economy with me and the cost of regulation. jpmorgan reported earnings today. they did report a strong quarter. it was below analyst expectations. the reason? they had to take an almost billion dollars charge for legal expense. having said that. he says as he looks across the country, he thinks things are improving and when he speaks with ceos, his customers, he says that they are wanting to expand. not cut back. >> yeah. the government turned their attention on him and it cost the company a lot of money. in fact, we have a cut. you want to listen? >> absolutely. >> you don't normally see companies ever -- i deal with ceos around the world. particularly in the united states where people say i'm going to shrink next year. i don't have any ambition. i'm not going to invest. no they're look for ways to grow expand, do more. >> everybody is looking to grow,
expands, do more. but as we detailed a moment ago there is a lot of regulation. there are a lot of other trap doors for people in business these days. >> there sure are. and that, as well as the issues around the world. weakness in europe and you've got weakness in china. that's going to impact the u.s. all of that we get to that that interview that's running today on the opening bell on the "fox business" network. >> all right. and don't miss on the "fox business" network, you can find it in your area by logging on foxbusiness.com. coming up, have you seen it? the video of terror training camp. watch. >> your land is open to the public. >> oh, no. that's not yemen. it's right here in the united states. if you can believe it. the man who has gone inside of it here next. speaking of the man, the man is going to run the channel here in about 12 minutes. >> on me. my hand on the wheel.
>> then you're going to join me on radio. >> we'll see you later, brian. good morning to all three of you. breaking news from the international space station. what we are learning from nasa at this hour. also al-qaeda claims it ordered the terrorist attacks in paris. and was john boehner the target for murder? martha and i will see you in 12 minute, top of the hour
have you heard of the new dialing procedure

we've been telling you about france's no go zone. hundreds of muslim areas that outsiders and cops don't dare to explore. they chose to give it up. we have them here in the united states too. i bet you did not know that. nearly two dozen enclaves popping up across nine different states. and watch what happens when a stranger or outsider tries to
step inside. >> but your land is open to the public. >> you'll be arrested if you come down here. >> i'm not being nice. >> leave. leave. period. don't say another word. >> joining us now, the man behind that camera. author of "twilight in america". martin moyer joins us now. what was taking place right there? where were you? >> we were in red house virginia. it's an isolated community as most of these compounds are located in. all areas heavily wooded inside of the mountainous areas. and what we wanted to do was challenge their open invitation to actually come on to these compounds and see whether they were peaceful or not. so we brought our cameras and tried to get on and this is how we got treated. >> quickly, this is the whole thing that we're seeing here.
what goes on in these campuses? a lot of people say there are jewish camps in this country jewish camps. why not a muslim camp? >> because these are truly no go zones. unlike the ones in europe, which i visited, you can walk into those no go zones. you can walk in with your cameras. you can talk to people. but in these particular no go zones, you can not get into. they have gates. they have armed guards. they have security forces. and when you go up into them you're specifically told to leave these particular areas. and they're particularly dangerous. >> we're watching now, where are we seeing this footage from? >> this is a video they put out for the people inside of the compounds so that they learn how to do terrorist type training. they teach them how to kidnap people, strangle them. how to kill guards. how to do guerrilla type warfare training. this is what goes on in these isolated no go zones inside the united states. >> in america name some states, name some areas 'cause you also say they're affiliated with a
pakinstani militant group. >> yeah. that pakinstani militant group is run by sheik gilani who most people haven't heard of. that is the man daniel pearl was hoping to interview and was arranging to about view when he was kidnapped and later beheaded. >> name some towns and cities and states. >> we have them in texas, sweeney, texas. in york, south carolina. we have them in commerce, georgia. red house, virginia. upstate new york. california. michigan. they're scattered all around the united states. >> so right knew call an officer and say hey, wait a second. you got an enclave here, this is islamic extremists being trained on our ground, what is the law enforcement's reaction? >> the interesting thing about these camps, they're located in very rural areas of america which have very small police departments. they intentionally set them up in these areas where, for instance, the one in new york, they have a total of four police officers. >> i want you to hear what you say is a recruitment, the sound
of a recruitment video to fill up the camps. listen. >> you are most welcome to join one of the most advanced training camps in islamic -- michigan or in south carolina or pakistan, wherever we are, you can reach us. >> where did you get that? >> actually it took about four years to locate that video. we knew it existed and we had someone inside of the law enforcement department out of colorado who snuck us the tape and finally we were to make it public. >> f.b.i.'s reaction? >> f.b.i.'s reaction is that look, they have the first amendment and their american rights to operate these in united states, regardless of the type of weaponry and guerrilla warfare training. >> it's not okay with they and does not seem to be okay with you. thank you so much. president and cio of christian action network. >> thank you. >> we'll keep looking at this. more "fox & friends" in just a
moment.
