Super sick . How are you feeling . I heard your wife was mad you missed a big dinner with a friend. How to keep your secrets secret from your coworkers. Mornings are better with friends. Its time for fox friends. Welcome aboard, folks. Brian, welcome back after a couple of days off. Good to be bad. I cannot believe what is going on in the news. I thought there were errors last week with the president using the word crusade and last night two things in television. Thats right. If youre a fake newsman, real good chance youre out of work. Two fake news men. We are glad you are here. Were going to start with this fox news alert for you. Nbc defending Brian Williams for embell lirk he will bell lishing his stories from the field. Williams yanked off the air and without pay. Nbcs top news man surrounded in controversy for the past week now and now the hammer has dropped. The nightly news anchor suspended for six months without pay after falsely claiming for years that he was on a Helicopter Shot down by enemy fire during the iraq invasion. Williams has been embellishing this story since 2003 making it seem more and more perilous with every telling. And he wasnt caught in a lie until a few weeks ago. The story actually started with a terrible moment, a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq. When the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an r. P. G. Iraq war vets calling foul on that story and forcing him to apologize. I want to apologize. I said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by r. P. G. Fire. I was instead in a following aircraft. We all landed after the ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sandstorm in the iraq desert. This was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension our brave military men and women. Nbcs top brass announcing williams suspension. News Division Head debra turner saying this, brian misrepresented events which occurred while covering the iraq war. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in brians position. While some see the suspension as a way to push williams off the air for good foxs howard kurtz says nbc hopes to have him back one day. As strange as it sounds for nbc to be suspending its star without pay and to use words like inexcusable and breach of trust, this is an attempt to save Brian Williams job. Nbc news says that lester holt will continue to fill in for Brian Williams least for now. So what happens in six months . He comes back after lester holt who is solid, does a great job . After six months in exile. Dont know how thats going to work. Do you think everyone deserves a Second Chance . But i think trust is hard to get back. I think theyll investigate a bunch of things. If they find more i think that will determine if he comes back in six months. And if the ratings dont move with lester holt, it is hard to imagine Brian Williams coming back. There is a story that when nbc wanted to move jay leno that man wanted to get the job. Good news for him jon stewart is leaving the daily show in about six months, so maybe he can slide right in there. Later well get to that. He shocked everybody, i think, yesterday. That did not even leak out prior to him telling everyone thats it. Meanwhile, five minutes after the top of the hour. Another fox news alert. Breaking overnight, security concerns in yemen forcing the state department to close the u. S. Embassy there. Officials say yemen is not safe for americans. Reporter closing the u. S. Embassy in yemen is a major blow to president obamas Foreign Policy world view. This was him in september of last year. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years. Now the state Department Says yemens capital is simply too dangerous to operate in. The french and british agree, pulling out their personnel now that an iranian backed militia toppled the government. It comes during a week of awful news for the administration in the fight against isis. Remember isis still hasnt presented evidence to back their claims Kayla Mueller died on their mission but the u. S. Makes clear they are holding isis responsible regardless. We learn more about kaylas life in captivity. One report says intelligence officials often spotted her in the same location as a highlevel isis command leading one person to suggest she was in some type of terrible forced marriage. This comes as the president finally decides to seek congressional authorization for the use of force against isis for the splitting of hairs continues on language. The latest iteration includes a threeyear sunset clause and the prohibition of enduring ground forces. Back to you guys. Thank you. Talk about language, yesterday we told you the story about president obamas interview with vox. He down played the attacks in paris saying it is a bunch of folks who randomly shot at some deli. Randomly. It was all random. They werent going after anybody specific. How about this . His Administration Spokesperson actually got out there and doubled down on the double down of the double down. Were just going to diminish the effect of what happened here. And this is their defense. Watch. The adverb that the president chose was used to indicate that the individuals who were killed in that terrible, tragic insurance accident were killed not because of who they were but because of who they randomly happened to be. They werent killed because they were in a jewish deli . These individuals were not targeted by name. Not by name but by religion, were they not . There were people other than just jews who were in that deli. That de li was a kosher deli. I believe firm the victims specifically i believe if i remember the victims specifically they were not all of one background or one nationality. The Administration Believes this is an antijewish attack . I dont think were going to speak on behalf of french authorities. She was wrong. She said there were people of other background. All People Killed at the super market were jewish. We all know the gunmen, the terrorists islamic terrorists called a French Television station and said he was attacking that store because it was a kosher deli. The world knows it wasnt random. Those people were targeted. And the white house looked embarrassed for coming up with that. When youre embarrassed what do you do . The ageold thing. Go to twitter and apologize for saying the wrong thing over and over again and making the people who question you seem outrageous in their assumptions. Welcome to the land of unforced errors. For example, josh earnest came out after the briefing of ed henry and said our view has not changed. Terror attacks in paris kosher market was motivated by antisemitism. The president didnt intend to suggest otherwise. That would have been fine to say and you wouldnt have had the 20 minutes of sparring. The state department decided to get on twitter and say we have always been clear the attack on the Kosher Grocery store was an attack that took the lives of innocent people. Yesterday on this show we were talking about how outrageous it was that the president said it was random because it clearly wasnt random. Then the white house put together their talking points distributed them throughout the administration. Everybody stuck to them until there was such pushback from the mainstream media, it was like we can hear you, youre making that stuff up. They should just call them spokes tweeters because you wind up getting the real truth from the tweets after they talk. It shows there is no system. There is nobody getting to the president saying youve got to walk back that statement where you said random. Instead they try to explain it all tuesday and then they have to backtrack later on tuesday. There is nobody in the white house to tell the president go with my instincts, not yours. Its how the president feels. Yeah. It was a random thing. Doesnt seem like anyone hes being so careful not to say islamic terrorists. It doesnt exist. If you dont name it, there is no failure. Andy card or leon panetta with clinton would have stopped this and would not have let things go wild all day. It was a mess but they tried to fix it. Will it continue . In the meantime, what happened overnight . A lot of things happened overnight. In san diego, new overnight, a man that Police Believed gunned down a popular sports anchor is in custody. San diegos kyle kraska was shot at least twice while he was backing out of his own driveway. Police say that this man mike montana opened fire and then escaped. There was a standoff with a swat team and then he surrendered at his home. You can see it right there. No word on his motive. That sportscaster kraska is recovering. We are hours away from the Opening Statement in the murder trial of american sniper chris kyle. We know the first to testify against his accused killer Eddie Ray Routh will be kyles widow. Routh faces life in prison without parole. Rouths lawyers claiming he suffered from ptsd when he pulled that trigger but some vets disputing that saying he never saw combat or anything disturbing. Another media shakeup to tell you about this morning. Jon stewart stepping down as the face of the daily show on comedy central. 17 years is the longest i have ever in my life held a job. In my heart i know it is time for someone else to have that opportunity. Stewart says hell stay on until later this year. The timing is causing some to speculate that he could replace Brian Williams at nbc news. Nbc reportedly considered stewart as a potential host for meet the press awhile back. What do you think of that . All you need is 2 and a dream. Tonights Powerball Jackpot is 485 million, the fifthlargest prize in u. S. History. The pot was supposed to be 450 million but so many people ended up buying the tickets so it upped the ante. The chances of winning about 1 in 175 million. Im still going to play it. Why not . Im antilottery antipowerball. I dont care about the totals. Its 1. I dont care. Im so tired of the powerball stories and billionaires going around the world in their balloons. Those are the two things im against. Sing it, brian. Now this coming up. Bibles banned at schools because of a statement handed out by Satanic Groups. Where its happening. Theyre here illegally but now undocumented aliens get a government hot line to call and complain about it. A former Border Patrol chief calls this a slap in the face. Here to react live next.

Visit legalzoom today for the legal help you need to start and run your business. Legalzoom. Legal help is here. Glad youre up. Heres what were talking about. Theyre here illegally. Now undocumented immigrants will have a taxpayerfunded hot line to call and complain about it. In a memo d. H. S. Says, quote, if you believe you or a Family Member were apprehended and processed by a customs and Border Protection officer or Border Patrol agent contrary to the new d. H. S. Enforcement priorities please tell us about your experience. Some consider the hot line a slap in the face to border agents. Here to weigh in is a former National Deputy chief of the u. S. Border patrol. Is this a slap in the face ron . Yes, it is, brian. Its a slap in the face. A couple of phrases that come to my mind immediately when i read the Washington Times article. One is the demonizing of americas law enforcement. And the other is cheap parlor trick. If youll allow me to explain ill start with the cheap parlor trick. This is really a weak attempt by this administration and the white house to redirect the american publics attention away from his tacit Amnesty Program and then villainize law enforcement, which has been going on since the beginning of this administration, sadly. Its a slap in the face to the Border Patrol agents as well as i. C. E. Agents and c. I. S. Employees that will be dealing with the Amnesty Program because there are already 800 numbers out there to make allegations. This one is for people that feel like they may not have been considered fairly for amnesty. In other words, criminals being allowed to call in and talk about their feelings. So what kind of message is that . Its almost like putting a Bumper Sticker on your car that a driver might have that says how am i driving and there is a phone number underneath. You men and women are already risking your lives doing a very dangerous job. So this is pretty much an implied slap in the face. I can understand how you feel that. When you talk to other Border Patrol personnel, do they feel the same way as you . Absolutely. Everyone that i spoke to before coming on has said that they see this as just salt in a wound with the underresourcing they have experienced over the last several years and knowing they are already under thirdparty review by numerous different agencies such as the f. B. I. , office of professional responsibility, office of internal audit the Government Accountability office and the inspector general. To have one more tollfree number inviting criminals to complain. Your job is hard already but between the dream act which put a gray area on everything people brought here by their parent and now this, i dont envy the debriefing you have of everyone you might detain. It would go on forever and it seems like they have more rights than you guys. Thanks so much. 20 minutes after the hour. Straight ahead why is Brian Williams being slammed for embellishing his stories but Hillary Clinton gets a pass. Remember this . I remember landing under sniper fire. It was supposed to be some kind of a greet ceremony at the airport but instead we ran with our heads down to get into the vehicle. We made her secretary of state despite that lie which she admitted to. Is there a double standard . And are you a snug letter letter are you a snuggleer or do you need space when sleeping with your spouse . What the answer says about your relationship and maybe steve and elisabeth will finally open up about theirs. Im louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. Quitting smoking is a challenge and its a lot easier to go into a fight when youve got somebody thats got your back. Having chantix as a partner made it more successful. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some people had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. Chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. When laquinta.

You and others hold a strict nonrecognition policy and a soldier here you see locked up for leaking National Security secrets to wikileaks and now goes by the name Chelsea Manning has a new job. He will write for the guardian american website. Manning began transitioning to a woman while in custody last year. Im going to transition over to steve. Thank you very much. That man right there, nbc anchor Brian Williams, has been suspended for six months without pay for recounting stories that just were not true. He made them up. At the same time Hillary Rodham clinton manages to get away with embellishing the truth. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles
