and no love in this elevator. beyonce s sister kicking and throw hay makers at rapper jay-z. what caused her to flip out on the hip-hop mogul. i don t know, but i d like to. mornings are better with friends. watch this. hi. this is brookland decker and you are watching fox & friends. she went on from that voiceover to marry andy roddick and lived happily ever after. i wonder if theç connection from toba the audio guy who picks those is the video of beyonce s sister trying it deck her. deck him. we ve got to find out what happens. there is an explosive story caught on tape shows you there s cameras absolutely everywhere. we re on camera right now. good morning. let s talk about timothy geithner s book, the latest former obama acolyte says i m out, don t call me anymore because i m writing a book. he recalls that the white house wanted him to lie, mislead the public before he went on the that sound familiar? to discuss actually social security. so look at this. he s talking about dan pfeiffer s urging him to present the issue that it wasn t the reason for the deficit. he says, quote, i remember during one roosevelt room press session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pfeiffer wanted me to say social security didn t contribute to the deficit. it wasn t a main driver of our future deficits but it did contribute. pfeiffer says the law was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i never heard before. he had to explain that phrase was code for the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. oh man, this is big. a member of the administration admitting in their memoir that comes out today thatç the white house told them to go out and lie. as soon as this headline hit the fan, a close source to timothy geithner says timothy does not believe he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public. really? so you re not supposed to believe the things that he wrote in his book. and quoted. look, he wrote the book. he remembered it so well, he threw in the stuff about the dog whip. anyone who has written the book understands there are many rounds of edits. you look at that a few times before it hits the press. weç watched timothy geithner through the most harrowing times in modern economic history trying to explain himself, his moves and some of the things he had nothing to do with and some of his exact policies. you have to wonder, he s one guy you could always look at and i think to myself someone has him scared to death, even when we were over the crisis, he gives that demeanor of someone who is scary. he s not a politician. right but he always looked like something terrible is about to happen. when it was said i need you to show emotion, he was not comfortable. here is what he quoted in his book. she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was expected to express. i m not very convincing as an angry populist. i m not doingç this i said. instead i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed outrage. what was he talking about? expressing outrage that a lot of officers were getting bonuses in a time of crisis. he said america was furious about the overpaid bankers. stephanie cutter wanted us to show we were on the backside of the backlash but they had no legal authority to confiscate the bonuses paid during the boom. knowing the truth, yet pausing and saying i can t deliver this sort of upset. do you it, buddy. let us review what weç have learned today. tim geithner has written a book. what he has revealed is the white house told him to tell a lie when he went out on the sunday morning chat shows. that sounds exactly what we learned about two and a half weeks ago that susan rice was told to go out there and spread that lie. the administration knew it wasn t a there and say it was a video even though we knew it was an act of terror. charles krauthammer, a doctor, says this administration has a problem. they lie too much. this white house has an arm s length relationship with the truth. you could argue that all administrations do. but here you get the idea that it s less than arm s length. it is actually a clearly manipulative relationship¿ with the truth that it is to be used or abused or inverted in order to, quote, send a message, to send a dog signal. everybody knows that social security is in deficit. the treasury makes it up. and, therefore, it contributes to the deficit. geithner knows that, and, therefore, he wasn t prepared to say an outright lie, an obvious arithmetic lie. timothy geithner comes out and writes his book and now before the book is out 24 hours he is denying what s in it. we haven t gotten to theç point where glenn hubbard, a key romney economic advisor, told him he planned on raising taxes once he got into offices. he said of course i m going to raise taxes. glenn hubbard came back and says i never said that. again, these are quotes. he didn t say i talked to him and then he gave us a paraphrase. he s quoting himself exactly. americans deserve the truth. and ultimately we were promised transparency from the president. this is 2008. i have a track record of transparency. i ll make our government open and transparent. we ll do it in a transparent way. i want transparency. i want accountability. so that the american people can be involved in their own government. let me say it as simply as i can. transparency and the rule of law will be theç touchstones of this presidency. this is the most transparent administration in history. really? that s great to hear him say. unfortunately the facts don t seem to support that, mr. president. let s just take a look at a number of this administration s officials who have misled the public. we start with, of course, susan rice. she appeared on those sunday shows where she said that it was a video even though the administration knew that it was terrorism. hillary clinton as secretary of state referenced the video as the cause behind the benghazi attack. and we know that she spoke to the president at 10:00 that night. james clapper claimed there was noç program to collect information on american citizens; again something that we found out differently there. then the attorney general right here, we have this surveillance, the claim by the republicans. he said he knew nothing about it. the potential prosecution of the press. he didn t know. eric holder. then of course we have the president of the united states saying if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. then later said i probably shouldn t have said that. it s hard to know what s going on. instead of a dog whistle just say things. say i want to tell the democratic base we are not going to touch social security. you don t need a dog whistle. just say that is what we re going to do. experts say of all the entitlements social security is the easiest to fix. we don t fix anything. we don t take care of entitlements and we certainly don t take care of social security. perhaps theyç have a different definition of transparency. you look at all this stuff, i think to this administration the truth is not important. getting reelected was. however, going forward, if i was like bob schieffer or chris wallace and ran a sunday morning talk show, i think i would want to have a lie detector on everybody who sat on the show from this administration. you should be personally offended if someone lies to you? as americans, we expect the truth from our government; right? shocking. if someone told you they remember told to lie and denies they wrote in the book, i don t know where to start with that. that s why i m turning over to heatherç nauert. she tells the truth. good morning, guys. serious news out of west virginia. it happened overnight. we start with a fox news alert. right now rescue teams are searching for two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in west virginia. it is not clear what caused that collapse but we know the last safety review in twitter of in 2013 of the boone county mines had reports concerning the miners safety and health. families are at the mine at this hour awaiting more information. another fox news alert. brand-new evidence of another scandal at yet another v.a. hospital. this time in durham, north carolina. two workers there were just placed on leave for improperly manipulatinh the scheduling data. that s what they re calling it right now. this comes amid troubling allegations that a v.a. hospital in phoenix where 40 veterans died while they remember waiting for similar treatments. another incident was reported last week in wyoming. this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real. and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. there have been a lot of calls to the veterans administration secretary eric shinseki to step down but the white house continuing to stand by him. caught on camera, aç massive explosion blows the front off a house in new hampshire. this blast coming moments after a police officer was shot and killed while he responded to a domestic disturbance call at that house yesterday. police believe that the suspected gunman, 47-year-old michael nolan, may have been killed in that blast. nolan lived in that duplex with his father who was 86 years old. it is not known if he was home at that time. one other person was taken to the hospital with injuries. a bizarre story out of california. the radio legend casey kasem is missing say his children. a judge is ordering an investigation into his disappearance and now appointing the 82-year-old daughter as his temporaryö conservator. my dad was snapped out of the facility. this is a part of a long running court battle between his children and their step mother. they re fighting over access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson s and can apparently no longer speak. it is believed he might be at an indian reservation in washington state. those are your headlines. you read the tabloids, that is a story you read about a lot, the family problems there. that was heather nauert. let me tell you what s coming up straight ahead withç us. a mom taking care of her disabled son being forced to unionize, but she s fighting back. up next, the supreme court decision that could change big labor as we know it. thousands of convicted criminals in this country illegally; now the obama administration is setting them free. why not?

[ crowd cheering ] good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it and do some experiments. so start your day off good with a coffee that s good cup after cup. maxwell house. good to the last drop a case before the u.s. supreme court could have an impact on every employee s union in the nation. pam harrison, illinois mother who cares for her disabled son at home, is fighting to stop the seiu union from squeezing money from her son s social security check. the supreme court must now decide whether forcing families like this one to unionize is legal. fox news contributor mallory factor, the new york times best-selling author and he s got a book out called shadow about government employee union, joins us to weigh in on this. good morning to you. good morning. this is a troubling case because it is about two moms who were forced these are mothers not in unions but their children had disabilities and to take care of them and get federal money these mothers had to unionize. they said that is a load of crap and they sued the government. one of the moms i met, susie watts, she takes care of her daughter who is a quadriplegic. she s had over $5,000 automatically taken out of her medicaid payments by the unions. automatically taken out, and she s been told if she wants to get medicaid payments to help take care of her quadriplegic daughter, she has to pay the seiu, the old union that president obamaç was an organizer for. sure. why is this one of the biggest labor decisions in a long time? if the supreme court rules for the workers and tells the workers that they don t have to pay a union to keep getting government payments, all of a sudden the unions are going to have to work to get people to join them. they re not going to be able to take the money out ought mat khreufplt one of the automatically. one of the things about this particular case where these home health care employees, essentially the mom, is an employee of the government, even though she child, is that it s not the union that dictates exactly how things happen. it s the disabled person. so that makes it different than the regular union situation. what they ve done is they ve come up with this fictional kind of company which pays the person, and it s a government company. and this is how they re able to unionize all these home health care workers. what the unions want to do, what the shadow bosses really want to do is they want to be able to unionize the 21 million health care workers that you re going to have under obamacare, and that will be billions of dollars to the unions, a private organization. sure. the way you ve depicted it, it sounds like it was a dumb rule to start with, but it isúhhnging in the balance by one vote and extraordinarily the one vote is a conservative who normally you would think would not be for this. it appears. we don t know what goes on inside the supreme court, but justice scalia appears to be torn on this one because the fact is that he believes strongly in states rights and he wants to give the states the rights to make these decisions as opposed to have a broad decision. in this case a conservative justice may be the union s best friend. let s see what they do over there on capitol hill at the u.s. supremeç court. mallory factor, always a pleasure to be with you. thank you, sir. thanks for coming up from charles top. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, the devil tried making it to harvard but got the boot instead. a big update on that satanic mass that was supposed to happen last night. it didn t. a football coach s life lessons captures the hearts of america in an oscar-winning movie. you think football builds character. it does not. football reveals character. not only did bill courtney build a team from nothing; he did the same with his business and now it s worth $45 million. he s going to share the secrets you need to know straightç ahead, live from new york city.

the 30,000 foot view is this. we can be inclusive and forward-thinking and open minded without abandoning the core principles that got us here in the first place, and those core principles that built that football team are the same principles that built my family and built my business. and you ve had success all around. let s break it down as best we can and people get the book and find out more. what do you think of hard work? i think we have developed this entitlement mentality in a lot of different places and not just in the entitlement among those disadvantaged among us, but there s an entitlement among the wealthy, an entitlement among the affluent. this entitlement that these kids learn strips them ofç the dignity they get from a hard day s labor. if you don t have money, it s somebody s fault. if you have a lot of money, i don t need to do that? i think they re equally disturbing because of the lesson it teaches our kids and because it takes away the dignity you get from looking in the mirror at the end of the day and saying i earned that. we ve got to get back to teaching the importance of that dignity in our lives. take pride in what you do. search for civility. it s easy to have civility when you re up 20-0 or about to win a championship. when you reç down, how does that confer? how we treat those we opposed says more about us than even our own opinions do. we have to search for a civil attitude so that we can find commonality and come together. frankly, business, sports, society, family but that may be the best for the folks in d.c. you also that s absolutely true, the nation s capital. you say grace appears in a forgiving heart. what do you mean by that? i mean that so much of what keeps us back can be our own anger, our own desire to get back at someone that wronged us. there s difference in a pardon and forgiveness. everybody has to answer for what they ve done. but forgiveness is bestç for the forgiveer because you re allowed to get rid of all that angry feeling you have toward another person. we have to get back to being civil and being forgiving so we can move on and find commonality. because if you hold that grudge, you re wasting your time. you re wasting your energy. it s hurting you worse than the person you re not forgiving. we just scratched the surface of some of the wisdom that led you to a very lucrative career. thanks so much for coming in today. great to see you. thanks. good to see you. straight ahead on this show, no loveç in this elevator. what caused beyonce s sister to flip out on the hip-hop mogul?

no, i cannot. fine. thanks for coming by. let s talk about this. there is another nightmare at the i.r.s. a new report shows the aiming is i spent nearly $100 million on office furniture over the last five years. the i.r.s. is asking for even more of your money for its budget next year. stuart varney, what do you think about that and how is that possible they can be asking for more money by throwing it out on furniture. $100 million for office furniture since 2010 does sound a little obsessive. everybody s already got chairs. maybe taxpayers are a little hard on the furniture when they go to the eurps i.r.s. office but it is more thanç was spent on furniture during the entire eight years of the bush administration. this is another black eye for the i.r.s. this is an agency which gave $2.8 million in bonuses to people who have not paid their own taxes. this is the agency where lois lerner is in contempt of congress. this is an agency that wants another $1 billion to police obamacare. this is the agency which brought in an extra $132 billion, the latest seven months of this year, $1.2 become is what they want extra. theç lack of funding has made it difficult to provide the service taxpayers deserve, a quote. government is not efficient. government does not work efficiently. bureaucrats create bureaucracies which work very inefficiently and spend money. they have a voracious appetite for money and spend it on things like $100 million for office furniture. jack lew said they need $100 million to crack down on conservatives. he didn t say that. i m adding. right now the federal government hats seen so much money come in, they ve got more money than they know what to do with. actually they ll spend it. nobody is talking about that. in the lastç seven months the i.r.s. brought in an extra $132 billion compared to last year. the taxpayer clearly doing their part to get that deficit down. the i.r.s. spending it on stuff like $100 million worth of furniture. there is a link between the two. that is not responsible. certainly why in that harvard poll you saw young people saying they lost faith in government agencies. stuart varney we will be watching you at 11 a.m. probably more on this? i shall check on that. thanks for being with us. still ahead a texas gun dealer under fire for this sign, but he s got a messagehfor his critics and that s coming up next. our military considering the first chaplain who doesn t believe in religion or god. do we really need someone to represent atheists?

(announcer) tidy cats lightweight. all the strength, half the weight. we have got some quick tuesday morning headlines for you right now. caught on camera, a thief in california steals a veterans u.s. army flag from the front of his house. douglas dahl served net vietnam war and desert storm. he says he s hurt and wants the flag back. texas gun dualer under fire dealer under fire for this sign that says i like myç guns like obama likes his voters undocumented. he then said it was a joke. he put the sign up supporting the texas gun policy that does not require firearm registration. elisabeth, over to you. an atheist group is demanding an atheist chaplain in the military. they claim as more atheists ep list they enlist they need somewhere to go for support. is the d.o.d. being politically correct? fox news judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano on that. this isn t the first time this has come down. i think it qç 3.6% of those in the military identify themselves as being atheist. how will this play out? i m not surprised that people are asking for this, but it is surprising that the mr. dodd: is that the department of defense is considering this. they have more things to do than to figure out how to provide a chaplain for an atheist. a chaplain is provided for major and minor religions for people who believe in god and who need religious services because their heart and morality tells them so or the religion to which they belong requires it. atheism isç not a religion. it doesn t fit within any of the definitions for federal statutes or for circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. this is about the 14th amendment then. how does that play in? the atheist group argued a clause in the amendment called the equal protection clause which says the government has to treat similar people in a similar way somehow forces the defense department to provide chaplains for atheists. the 14th amendment regulates states, not the federal government. and the part of the constitution that talks about rights the federal government has to recognize has exceptions in there for the military. understanding, as the framers did, that when you join the military, youç give up certain rights. we ve seen those reins loosened. is this a trend? we ve seen the reins loosened. there are circumstances under which you can have beards. there are circumstances under which you can have long hair. there are circumstances under which you can have tattoos. but the concept of a chaplain for an atheist, if someone needs counsels, it s there. if someone needs a support group, it s there. i don t know what this chaplain would preach since atheists don t believe in god. is this an attempt to remove a chaplain of a religious group that is larger? i think it isç an attempt to make the military seem more soft and cushy. i think in ten years we ll be laughing at this. right now it is just under 4% of those that identify as such. if that grows indeed, will they be forced in a way to have a chaplain? no. the congress would have to change the laws in order for the atheists in the military to force the military to provide them with chaplains. this meeting today is not going to put forth this meeting today is really an effort by the brass of the military, the civilian brass of the military, secretary hagel and his people, to keep the lid on complaints. i don t think theç complaints are loud and i don t think they re going to come long and i don t even think they re serious but i think he wants to nip them in the bud by talking to these people. it doesn t hurt to talk but it would be absurd to have the federal government spend money to have people preach about atheism. interesting perspective. coming up, meet the mayor, brian says. who says this? take your godless ceremony elsewhere. forget everything you ve heard about fatty foods.ç they re actually good for you. the delicious details going to change your life forever coming your way. and the award goes to ceramics house. congratulations. thank you. the success of your small business depends on results. go vests! all organic, and there s tons of info on our website. that s why you rely on the best for your business. and verizon delivers the best devices on the best network. you re all big toes to me. so go ahead, stream and download with confidence on america s largest, most reliable 4glte network. activate any 4glte smartphone and get $100 off. for best results, use verizon. what is this place? where are we? this is where we bring together reliably fast internet and the best in entertainment. we call it the x1 entertainment operating system. it looks like the future! we must have encountered a temporal vortex. further analytics are necessary. beam us up. that s my phone. hey. [ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system. only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. forget everything you heard about fatty foods. can butter, cheese and heavy meats actually be good for you? our next guest says yes and that s why she s here. that s right. she spent near low decades studying the positive effects of fatty foods and details it in the big fat surprise. she joins us now with such great news. so please explain, this is great. we have some comparisons here. why is that good for you? we keep hearing it s not. we ve been living for 50 years with the low fat diet and the problem is that when you reduce fat, you increase carbohydrates. we eat 25% more than we did in the early 1970s. your body needs fat to be healthy. and the main thing we ve been told is that saturated fats are bad for you, that saturated fats and meat and butter and cheese are bad for you. but that all goes back to one scientist in the 1950s who thought fats caused heart disease one scientist? it was one scientist. in the face of the nation s fear of heart disease, he came up with the idea that it was saturated fats that caused heart disease. he got that idea implanted into the american heart association and the rest is history. let s fast forward to today. as people think about what they should eat, should they have the bagel or bacon and eggs? according to the conventional wisdom, you don t want all the cholesterol and fat in the eggs and bacon. right. so this idea became so ingrained that we just feel like it s common sense. how could that possibly be good for you? and the reality is that that contains saturated fat, yes. but the evidence against saturated fat has really dissipated, disappeared, and it is no longer so we choose the egg? you choose the egg. and the bacon? over the bagel? over the bagel, which is empty carbohydrates. brian will kick the bagel out. here you go. you can give it away. what about at lunchtime? if you had the choice between a green salad or egg salad, conventional wisdom says go with the green salad. but you should go with the egg salad even though it s high in cholesterol, the cholesterol in egg does not translate into cholesterol in your blood. that has been known since the 1970s. so it s good for you without the bad effects that everybody thinks it has? it s good for you. eggs also contain a loft nutrients lot of nutrients. so eggs are really nutrient dense and really good food. a lot of people eat the egg white. all the nutrients are in the yoke. they re missing it. the questions are getting hard. carrots, pita versus heavy meats and cheese. this is the most counter enduretive. everyone would choose hummus. bread is high in carbs and carrots and pita. carbohydrates in your blood become glucose, which triggers insulin, which is the king of all hormones in storing fat. zero in that up with. will and also a lot of nutrients. right. down here at this end we ve got butter and steak and sausage spatties versus the low fat yogurt. you say steak wins by a mile. steak and butter. steak is really rich in nutrients. it has good fats, the same is true of butter. what happens with low fat products is when you take the fat out, you have to put something in to replace all the texture they put sugar in. they re putting carbohydratessed based, almost always sugars. a serving of this is like having a snicker s bar worth of sugar. wow. is there a limit to the amount of fats? i m thinking what are the guideline when is having this type of fatty food? leave the butter. take the yogurt. is there a limit in a day? could you have all of this? you could have all of this in a day. the best, most rigorous scientific trials over the last decade show that a higher fat diet is healthier than a low fat diet in terms of your diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, hands down. definitively that s been shown. should you be worried about cholesterol if you re not doing the low fat and suddenly you re eat ago lot of cholesterol? again, the cholesterol in food does not translate into cholesterol in your bloodstream. i like that. good news for everybody out there. so fatten up, america. we showed you how. we re getting a bunch of thank you tweets and e-mails. that s the good news. it s just that you don t have to feel guilty about eating those foods. thank you very much. real pleasure. thank you. coming up straight ahead. another day and another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation s heros. where is the president on this one? didn t he promise to fix that problem? then just call this a royal hoax. who is this guy? we had a bunch of different dairies. one was an actor. one was an athlete and the other one was prince harry. look at that. the single ladies all vying for prince harry s heart. but that s not really prince harry. who is he? that s straight ahead. we re feeding him a steak o clock. first timothy geithner s book and now this. et.splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you re trying to manage your ra, now may be the time to ask about xeljanz xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz is an ra medicine that can enter cells and disrupt jak pathways, thought to play a role in the inflammation that comes with ra. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections andancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don t start xeljanz if youe any kind of infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholestel levels have happened. your doctor hould perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz, and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines y take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. ask if xeljanz is right for you. of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. we cannot let the fans down. don t worry! the united states postal service will get it there on time with priority mail flat rate shipping. our priority has always been saving the day. because our priority. amazing! .is you! the amazing spider-man 2 delivered by the united states postal service. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings?

who is this guy? we had a bunch of different theories. one was an actor, one was an athlete. and the obvious one was that he s prince harry. it s a new dating show and that guy looks like prince harry. but it s not him. these single ladies are in for a royal surprise. oh, boy. that s going to be great because tuesday mornings, always better with friends. this is darius runninger and you re watching fox & friends. elisabeth, when you were playing football, darius rucker co-hosted the show. you remember that? i do remember. he wanted us to join the blowfish and go on the road with him and i said no, we re going to stay here. it was a good move for us to stick around. i think so. he also was a welcome voice on my first day. i love that. he welcomed you to the show. yes. listen, today as we welcome you to the 7:00 o clock eastern time hour of the fox & friends program, we got troubling news to tell you. it sounds like the white house, every chance they get, if they need to, they lie to us. that guy right there, former secretary of the treasurer, tim geithner. says in a new memoir that comes out today that he essentially was told by the white house to go out there on tv on the sunday chat shows sounds familiar and lie. here is a quote, it says i remember one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows. i objected when dan pheiffer, communications director, wanted me to say social security didn t contribute to the deficit. it wasn t a main driver of our future deficits. but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left. phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain what the phrase was. it was code to the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. so there you got dan pheiffer saying okay, tim, go out there and lie on tv. right. a source close to geithner actually said he doesn t believe that he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public, even though he s writing about it in this book on multiple occasions. going to 2009 that he indicates that stephanie cutter, a democratic strategist and in charge of communications messaging, he tells a story there of how she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was supposed to express. i m not very convincing as an angry populous and i thought it would look ridiculous. i m not doing this, i said, and i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed the outrage. there he s referring to americans being furious over the fact that bailouts were that was the president doing the fake outrage. the president said how outraged he was when ce oh,s were getting bonuses after the bailout. everybody is it s unbelievable, he wrote the book and is walking back the quotes in the book that one time he accused mitt romney of saying we re going to raise taxes if elected and he said i never said that. the book has been out a day and everything that s interesting in it, he denies is in it, even though he wrote it. how unbelievable is that? steven hayes weighed in. every administration from every political party engages in spin, but the entire point of spin to a certain extent is to avoid saying something that is outright false. but we ve seen the administration say this, whether it s you can keep your plan, when the white house had studies show people wouldn t be able to keep your plan, whether it was the benghazi talking points saying the white house didn t have any substantive rule, or the obama administration political team didn t have any sub santel role. we know those things were not true and if geithner is right in the way he recall this is in his book, this would be add to do that list. absolutely. when tim geithner writes, i believe that he remembers it that way, the fact that a source close to geithner now is spinning it and they re trying to parce the words, it reminds me of, well, that depends on what your definition of is is. i m surprised that jay carney yesterday, came out and said we didn t tell him to lie. i m surprised he didn t say dude, that s so six years ago. you remember everything because there is quotes around it. what difference does it make anyway? this is not the first book that s come out indicating there is a lack of transparency in this administration. bob gates book indicated the same thing with i believe wording when it came to an opaque administration, their control over messaging. he said in all the administrations he worked in, prior to nixon, he says it s the most controlled centralized messaging that he s administration he s ever been a part of. the editor of the new york times says the same thing. so when we see the geithner information on top of the ben rhodes e-mail that they tried to get susan rice and she willingly went along and lied on sunday chat shows, it s disappointing. meanwhile, are they lying about what s going on at the v.a.? there is more trouble at the v.a., disarray at the v.a. two employees in durham, north carolina, have been placed on administrative leave because apparently they, too, falsified records between the years of 2009 and 2012. they re now audited. phantom appointments that didn t exist, possibly for the same thing, to get incentives, to act as if they re efficient when they re not and the actual veterans are paying the price by not getting care. and trying to look good at the front office here, they re making them wait months and months, possibly leading to the deaths of many. anything over 14 days is required to be put in writing. we re seeing all these falsified records there. when you see jay carney, though, really indicating that the president still has such confidence in general shinseki, who is at the head of the ship here, it makes everyone sort of raise a brow. the president remains confident that secretary shinseki is focused on this matter and he s confident in secretary shinseki s ability to lead the department and take appropriate action based on the findings. okay. so we re going to have to wait til the i.g. comes out. it s a mess right now. we know that. they had two sets of books and it was just to make them all look good. i was looking in the arizona republic newspaper this morning. there is an item that says that in phoenix, i want to say he s 87 years old. 87-year-old vet who is alive to this day, he was waiting for the v.a. to call him back for his hospital appointment, so he called 911. the only reason he s alive is because the locals came and picked him up. the republican congressman from the great state of illinois, he s in the national guard. he was an iraq war vet. he is horrified by the way that the v.a. is treating our american heros. this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. look, not only do people need to be suspended, not only do they need to be fired, we need to talk about who needs to end up in jail over this. that s real outrage there. that should be coming from the white house, should be coming from jay carney when our veteran s who risk their lives come back, only to die in some secret waiting list. no faux rage from convincinger there. we hope to see real solutions moving forward. we need whistle blowers to come forward and talk about what s really going on or else everyone seems to be covering their butts and hope their name doesn t get called. meanwhile, heather nauert, tell us what else is happening. good morning. big news out of west virginia. a lot of folks want to hear about it. fox news alert, right now there are rescue teams searching for at least two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in boon county, west virginia. at this hour, families gathered at the gate of the mining complex as they await information on the miners who work at the brody mine. it s not clear what caused the collapse just yet. the last safety review which took place in 2013 discovered about 250 violations concerning miners health and safety. this happening overnight about 10:30 p.m. eastern time. we ll keep you posted as we get new information in this morning. in the meantime, a rutgers university quarterback arrested and now facing up to 20 years in jail in connection to a brutal bar fight in minnesota. philip nelson has been charged with first degree assault for beaing a 20 yearly in critical condition. surveillance video shows kolstad hitting the quarterback in the back on certified. no word on saturday night. no word on what prommed that. his voice heard on the air for decades. thank you and hello again, everybody. welcome to america s top ten. this morning, casey kasem s children say he s missing. a judge ordering an investigation into the radio legend s disappearance. he also appointed the 82-year-old s daughter as his temporary conservator. jean kasem moved my father to hide him from his family and friends. she referred to jean. that is the stepmother. there is a long-running court battle between his children and their stepmom. they re now fighting for access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson s disease and can no longer speak. the children believe he may be at an indian reservation in washington state. this story is for us. you ever get tired of all the rants and tweets on twitter? there is a new feature that may fix that problem. there is a nitwitter mute button and allows users to silence their friends and others without unfollowing them. the people you know won t know they re silenced. their tweets will vanish from your time line. you can unmute them at any time. those are your headlines. a great feature to have. especially if you do a morning show and people out there in tv land write something appropriate or inappropriate. inappropriate, you can get rid of. yeah. tweet us now if you think you deserve to be muted. did you just mute me? yes, i did. you kept it under 140 lip movements. it was you. here is what s coming up straight ahead. unmute steve. meet the democrat mayor from new jersey who told feds, take your godless ceremony elsewhere. why he refuses to remove prayer from a citizenship ceremony. he joins us live, coming up next. plus, bittersweet news for all of your chocolate and wine lovers out there. truth about the health benefits may be a little sugar coated. back to beer. something to whine about.

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

captain: all the time. except when i sleep. which i would not do here. hotels.com would have mentioned the finger. nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. because what we all really want. .is more. there s a reason it s called an all you can eat buffet. and not a have just a little buffet . that s the idea behind the more everything plan. it s more of everything you want. for less. and now get 100 dollars off any smartphone. like the htc one m8. get more with our best plans on the best network. for best results, use verizon. time for news by the numbers. first, $58 billion. that s how much democratic governors have increased taxes since 2011. 58 billion. republican governors have signed over $36 billion worth of tax cuts during the same time. next, zero. that s the number of years that will be added to your life by eating chocolate and drinking wine. researchers failed to find any evidence that there was an ingredient found in the skin of red grapes and in chocolate is linked to a longer life. and finally, $35 million. that s how much you re going to need to buy the house made famous by al pacino in the movie scar face . 10,000 square foot mansion sits on ten acres in california. not in florida as was where scar face lived. you could call it a royal hoax. oh, my god. is that who i think it is? we re thinking, who is this guy? we had a bunch of theories. one was an actor. up with was an athlete. and the obvious one was that he s prince harry. well, obviously it s fox use they reality show i want to marry harry . the prince is just a look alike. how do we know? he s here and he looks like him. joining us right now. matt hicks. not harry. good morning to you. thanks for having me. how long have people told you, you know, you kind of look like prince harry? mainly the last five or six years. all right. not very long. that s how you got the job on fox? they found you, right? yeah. i had some pictures on a look alike web site and i ve done a few tiny jobs. here. turn this way because here, look at that. i never seen him with a beard. doesn t seem like you need a makeover. you went through training to learn the personal behavior and also other things. not so much personal behavior, but i had to learn his military career, scandals, ex girlfriends, his schooling, his hobbies. when i was dating these girls, i had something to talk about. he s had an interesting life to look up. yeah. he managed to live like a normal person and royalty. right. and the information was pretty public so you had to get it right. i think i might have slipped a few times. so the girls didn t know. were they told okay. it s prince harry? they were brought over and they were told it was anglin bachelor. we have the meeting where your face was revealed, but they never said, ladies and gentlemen, here is prince harry. they just said this. we ll have to save that for another time. we ll find out more later. hopefully if you stick around for a while. so in the beginning, you were wearing the mask and then you revealed your face. you never came out and said, i m prince harry. the producers never said i m prince harry. the girls kind of put it together, right? yeah. they were left to come to their own assumptions. you never own up to it? i never confirm who i am. sure. at the end of this, what does the girl get? you? there you go. fake harry, every week another girl is knocked out of the cast, right? yes. at the end, it s you and this and the final lady. and then is there aside from you, is there cash? i believe there was a prize at the end for the lady. normally a relationship built on a stack of lies would would not be off on the right foot. hi, i m choosing you, now let me tell you who i really am. yeah. and let s go from there. start with an i m sorry. got to be really sorry. is there somebody in there for you that you saw already?

i would not be going inside the prom. i was just going to be escorting my little sister on the senior walk and they said i could not do that because i was also not a student at the school. oh, come on. robert addison says there are no hard feelings for the high school, which he attended as well. school officials blame the incident on an unfortunate miscommunication. such a shame. those are your headlines. let s head over to maria for a check of the weather. good to see you. i want to take a look at a cold front that s moving eastward today across the country and it is bringing areas of rain, from texas up into parts of indiana and also illinois. with this system, we are going to be seeing some areas of heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding across western parts of the gulf of mexico, with some areas potentially seeing more than six inches of rainfall in a very short amount of time over the next several days, so that is a concern for flash flooding. the risk for severe storms also in place, from mississippi into southern parts of the state of ohio. if you live in cincinnati, nashville, hem fix heads up. memphis, heads up. temperature wise, it s below average in terms of high temperatures. look at denver. your high today, just 51. in the 50s in rapid city, minneapolis. ahead of the system, very warm. making it into the 90s this afternoon in parts of north carolina. now let s head over to elisabeth. he is the world s first and most recognizable super hero. just a bit later today, superman hall of heros will be honoring the everyday heros in the name of superman. joining us now david burke, paraolympic gold medalist and matthew reeve who will accept it on behalf of his father, christopher reeve. we are so honored to have you here today. this has to mean so much to each and every one of you. ten inductees at 11:00 o clock, exceptional, just backgrounds that you have, strength and diligence. i want to start with you accepting on behalf of your father. surely the ultimate superman. what would it mean to him?

first of all, it s a great honor to be inducted into this and especially the inaugural one. we got to meet each other last night, very inspirational. it s great to be recognized for doing something that helps other people. i m fortunate, i cook and i have food and i have access to food and trucks and things like that. so to be able to help out in hurricane sandy, which is where i grew up, was a natural. i think helping i get a lot a joy out of being able to help as i do feeding someone in a fine dining restaurant. i think helping people that can t necessarily get food on their own table is a real pleasure for me. it certainly did help a lot of people. i love the idea that this is about inspiring others through what you do in your community and really working to help others. i know your foundation has worked to help those overcome adversity. you have overcome adversity. you ve helped during times of adversity and people can nominate, correct, through father s day. is that right? right. it s an on line gift giving portal where people can nominate someone who they admire for bravery, generosity, what have you, and say thank you to their own personal heros. they create a submission and it s a way to say thank you and appreciation. sure. thank you to all of you and the inductees today later on at 11:00 a.m., we ll get to see the real heros. don t forget to nominate yours. and our hearts are with your family always. love what you ve done. thank you. coming up, same drug, same company. now a dying boy being denied the drug that could save his life. peter johnson, jr. here with the details on that latest fight. lurks no love in this elevator. what caused beyonce s sister to flip out on hip-hop mogul jay-z. no hero award there. first, time for today s trivia question. born on this date in 1950, this musician was signed by motown record label where when he was just 11 years old. who is he?

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

yeah. at the time, i was a serious seahawk fan, so it didn t go well. because your brother-in-law was on the other team. two minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert has breaking news. yeah. we ve been following this story through the night and into the morning. we have an update. moments ago, i got off the phone with the state police and they have confirmed to fox news that two coal miners died after an underground mine collapse in boon county, west virginia. that s in western part of the state. this collapse happening about 10:30 p.m. last night. it s not clear what caused that collapse. the latest safety review in 2013 discovered 250 violations concerning miners safety and health. we can confirm two dead. we ll bring you the latest as we get it. his iconic voice heard on the air for decades and decades. thank you and hello again, everybody. welcome to america s top ten. but this morning, casey kasem s children say he s now missing. a judge now ordering an investigation into the radio legend s disappearance. he also appointed kasem s daughter as his temporary conservator. my dad was snatched out of the facility he was staying at. jean is their stepmother and this is the part of a long-running battle between his children and their stepmom. they re fighting over access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson s disease and we re told can no longer speak. it s believed he might be at an indian reservation in washington state. we ll keep watching that story. hundreds of people could now be at risk after a second case of the deadly mers virus is discovered in the united states. a man visiting florida is now being treated for the respiratory illness. this case and the first one which was identified recently in indiana are connected to saudi arabia. that s where the virus originated. doctors say neither case is considered severe, but they re warning an estimated 500 people who are on flights with these two patients to get checked out. and then there is an atheist group that s demanding an atheist chaplain in the military. the military association of atheists claims more atheists are enlisting in the military, so they need somewhere to go for support. now the department of defense is considering a change. is this political correctness gone too far? judge andrew napolitano weighed in earlier today. atheism is not a religion. it doesn t sit within any of the definitions of federal statutes of circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. the military association of atheists, there is such a group is meeting with the defense department to talk about appointing a president for that position. and those are your headlines. one story we re following is that west virginia mine collapse, we ll keep you posted as we learn more. thanks for doing the work on the phone. meanwhile, your e-mail and tweets have been pouring in. this is what you have to say about that atheist chaplain. timothy writes chaplains in the military are officers and required to possess a theology. what degree would an atheist chaplain be required to have? bill says any member of the military can meet with any chaplain at pretty much any time. the judge is right. this is more time wasting insanity. go back to your seat and don t say a hail mary. and wr jones tweet, what s next? a car dealer who sells bus tickets? thanks for all of your responses. we appreciate it. laura ingraham joins us. you will not have to weigh in on the atheist story. unless you will to. guys, look, it doesn t surprise me at all. christians, faithful christians found themselves in the crosshairs in our military, in our culture. we saw what transpired last night at harvard. at the last minute, of course, power to the faithful, the thing was moved. the heretical was moved off campus. that s the last group that you can attack, demean, denigrate, discriminate against with impunity. i think christians and people of faith are starting to stand up and say no, you won t. we have rights, too. i m glad about that. friends of mine were at the protest last night at harvard. they were sending me photos of the mass that took place in protest to venerate the host and communion. it was 2,000 people. so i think it has a boomerang effect. the faithful come out and say, no, we will stand up for our religious rights. i think people across the country, whether you re jewish or christian or even muslim, you want to stand up for your religious rights, do so. we still have a country that s supposed to respect religious freedom and we need to all remember that and stand up for our rights. amen to that. so listen, laura ingraham, when you write your biography, make sure when you do your book tour you deny most of the quotes in it. that s the kind of stuff that treasury secretary is off to. listen to what he s quoted as saying in his own book. it is authorize the biography. he says, i remember during one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pheiffer wanted me to say social security did not contribute to the deficit, it wasn t a main driver of our future deficit, but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain to me what it hadn t, signaling that we intended to protect social security. a couple of things there, guys. number one, we now know that the left considers its base a bunch of unruly canines, dog whistle blower. they look down at their base, number one. in these biographies, do you recognize a trend here? the author, or the subject of the biography always comes off in the best possible light. tim geithner, well, i objected to this and i thought this was bad. well, if this was actually going on in the white house, i don t deny it was, i think it probably was given what else they said about obamacare and the recovery and so forth. but didn t tim geithner as a public servant have a duty to actually resign at that point or go to the american people and say, you know something? i m being asked to say things that are actually untrue and i m not going to do it because i actually believe in ultimate truths and the truth is social security is a driver of our debt and we re in real trouble when it comes to funding social security. but instead what he does is he stays in office, stays in the cabinet. then he allows this book to be written and he comes out with this book and we re supposed to say oh, tim guy geithner, you re really a stand up guy. i think these people whose salaries we pay have a duty to the people, not to dan pheiffer or the president of the united states. their duty is to the taxpayers who pay their salaries and tim geithner on this issue should have actually come forward and said something at the time. sure. you know what? by that statement, susan rice, who was told just exactly the same way. she was told go out there and say it was the video. he was told go out there and lie on tv. they were both told to lie on tv. by that measure, susan rice should say, laura ingraham has got a good point. would you do it? if someone said to me, i want you to go out there this isn t really true, but we want to tamp down this benghazi deal. yeah, it s going to look bad for us and our base. they re going to get pavlovian on us. i would say you better find someone else to do this dirty work. we have a conscience, right? right. you have to have a conscience to be able to do that. right. this is why americans in both parties have ultimate cynicism when it comes to washington. they don t believe republicans. they don t believe democrats. there are so few people who seem to have honor in our government, on capitol hill, and in the executive branch that it s a rarity when we have someone say i m not going to do this. i don t agree with everything they re saying, but they re actually telling me to say something that is untrue and i can t do that. i think i would stand up and applaud if any individual did that today. while we have you fired up, i want to ask you about immigration and customs enforcement releasing 36,000 convicted criminals awaiting deportation convictions, drunk driving, be a straighted sexual assault, homicide here, your thoughts? the president is set to announce a policy that will relax deportation and clarify deportation rules in the united states. we have people who committed dui and then went on to rape children. you have to google it and you ll see all these examples of why illegal immigration is not a, quote, victimless crime. we hear about the dreamers. dreamers are all valedictorians, okay, fine. what about the people who are 27-year-olds raping three-year-olds after being convicted of a dui? i think republicans and democrats should stand up for the people of this country who are often victims of these crimes. it shows what a great risk it is for the president to do this because if that does happen, we hope it doesn t, you know exactly where all fingers will point. you ll talk about that on your radio show in about 50 minutes from right now all across the country. thank you very much. thanks, guys. coming up, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation s heros. where exactly is the president on this? didn t he promise to fix that problem? then if you oppose common core, you re probably a far right extremist trying to destroy public schools. huh? that s what was said by one group. indiana governor mike pence just got rid of the curriculum and joins us live to weigh in. answer the governor, who is your governor. i like that. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. with soft meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture,it s dental that tastes so good. beneful healthy smile food and snacks. this and this. whip up this. munch on that. and dine out on this. that s 7 days a week. no tracking. no counting. no measuring. and you ll start losing weight right away with our 2 week simple start plan. so jumpstart your summer and join for free. try meetings, do it online or both. weight watchers. because it works. try meetings, do it online or both. tigers, both of you. tigers?

it s just unfortunate. the reality is throughout my public career, like i think most americans, i ve always believed that education is a state and local function and the federal department of education was created by president jimmy carter. while 45 states just a few years back adopted the national standards known as the common core, we ve got millions of americans that have been rising up and being heard, including in indiana and saying look, we want to right our standards and write our curriculum and choose our textbooks in our own state. i m proud of the fact that indiana was the first state in the union to legally withdraw from common core and go through the process of writing our own standards. what is it about common core you don t like? well, at the core of it, if you will, is my objection to the notion that the standards that are written for hoosier kids and hoosier schools were crafted somewhere other than indiana. look, part of the genius of the american experiment is that the states throughout our nation s history have been laboratories of innovation and been able to style policies like we have in indiana that deal with the unique populations and unique challenges. there are some things obviously, kids in first grade need to know certain levels of math and we have a gateway exam for kids to be able to learn to read before they can go on. so there are some things that are, in fact, a minimum standard. but i wanted standards in indiana to be written by hoosiers for hoosiers and to be uncommonly high and we went through the process and accomplished that on our own. good for you. you re the first state to do it. as governor, i want to get your reaction to this, since 2011, governors of states who are democrats have enacted over $58 billion worth of tax increases. meanwhile, as you can see screen right, $36 billion of cuts to taxes by republicans. i think we ve heard that before. it sounds like one party wants to raise your taxes and the other party wants to lower them. it explains why in 29 states led by republican governors, you re seeing the kind of growth that we re seeing. i m proud that indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest. we ve been able to pass balanced budgets, have strong reserves, invest increased funding in roads and schools and education innovation. but since i was elected governor, we ve also passed some $650 million in annual tax relief. and all of that creates an environment where we re seeing real growth in indiana. we got one of the fastest growing labor forces in the country, unemployment is on the downward trend and more hoosiers are going back to work. i think the american people can see a real contrast here between republican-led states and states led by democrat governors that are more inclined than ever it seems to raise taxes and grow government. that s one of the reasons you re in new york city. you re talking to different businesses with relocating to your state, which would be great for your state. when i m in new york, we love to tell new yorkers, if you can make it here, you can make a lot more in indiana. i like that. that s catchy. what about your future? i know you were elected governor in 2013? 2012. took office in 2013. that s exactly right. so what s next for mike pence? are you thinking of another run for governor? are you thinking maybe something in washington, d.c. over on pennsylvania? steve, i have to tell you, having been elected governor of the state that i love is the greatest honor of my life. it s consumed all of our attention and while i ve read recently some people have talked about me and other things, i m going to stay completely focused on the future of the people of indiana because this is an extraordinary time in the life of our state. i just have to tell you. look at indiana where we have balanced budgets, we re a right to work state, we re lowering taxes even while we re investing in infrastructure and education innovation. it s one of the reasons we had the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest, fastest growing work force. that s why he s the governor! he knows the story. indiana is on the move. i ll stay focused on the future of the state of indiana. let my future take care of itself. thank you very much. thank you, steve. good luck to you. it s now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. switching gears, coming up, no tackle football here. 7th graders forced to play flag football over safety concerns. is this just the woosification of america? jerome bettis here live. take him out. no, i m kidding what needs to be done. ! 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. this is the age of taking action. viagra. talk to you doctor. now time for headlines on this tuesday morning. clay aiken is now the democratic congressional candidate for north carolina in his district because his opponent, dead. 71-year-old keith krisco died after a fall inside his house. before his death, the primary battle with aiken was too close to call. and forget the moon. nasa now ready to land people on an asteroid. like that movie. astronauts started training, but the mission won t take place until after the year 2020. let s go outside to the bus stop. as you know, elisabeth, jerome bettis is one of our great friends. he s going to talk about asthma and allergies. first things first. in football, the draft is over. let s talk about the future of the game. talk about head injuries and health. in 7th graders in texas, east texas, the whole school district says this is too rough. i don t want kids getting hurt. no more tackle. they re playing flag. in texas. the state that covets football. you have to understand the concern is that real. i understand that. i grew up playing flag football. i didn t play tackle football until high school. ninth grade. so i understand that you can still have a successful nfl career playing flag football. but more importantly than that, it s the concern i think with parents about their children. children have long-term issues dealing with concussions. the demand for the sport is still there. you have over 100 million people watching the super bowl. something you re familiar with. even though it pained me at the time, i love you and so happy for the steelers now. but you have people wanting to watch the sport and parents who love the sport and kids want to play the sport. but we want to keep them safe. shouldn t we be working on ways to keep them safe, better means of tackling, better methods, so they don t get concussions? lieutenantly. i think that s what s happening now. you see the big push, especially with the nfl, in terms of educating the coaches. teaching the coaches the proper way to show kids how to tackle and teach kids how to tackle and play the game. i think that s the natural progression of how this is going to work. now you have to go back to education because that s the key in this process. educate the parents, the coaches on what they need to do and i think that s how it starts. there is something else you want to educate everyone on and that has to do with saving lives. we re talking about concussions and long-term, but also allergies. you have an allergy. i have a shell fish allergy. it s life-threatening. a lot of people don t understand what anaphylaxis is. it s an allergic reaction. if you have an allergic reaction that is so much that it could be life-threatening. so that s why there is a new device that s available. hold it up. it s an auto injector that has audio and visual cues. when you pull it out of the sleeve, it talks to you. it does. i actually we witnessed our friends using this on one of their kids, saved their life. it s automatic. it tells you what to do. true life saver. it is. you can get more information on their web site. we ve got a new program that is called what s your hey q. trying to educate, get people educated about anaphylaxis. the thing is, in certain passing situations, they pull you out. i want to make it known on our team, you re always in the game. as we talk to steve, could i send you into motion or could elisabeth send knew motion send you into motion? absolutely. jerome bettis will break tackles all the way through broadway. do not try to tackle him. he does not go down easily. brian and elisabeth and jerome, thank you very much. coming up next on our show on this tuesday, no love in this elevator. beyonce s sister attacks her brother-in-law, jay-z. how did that video get out?

seth myers on late night. they all look alike. 27 minutes before the top of the hour. still a lot of show left. that s right. someone who doesn t look like anybody else, heather nauert. thanks. good morning. got news to bring you. we talked about this story out of harvard university the past few days. good defeating evil on the campus of harvard. a student group satanic black mass that was to be planned for last night was canceled after locals became outraged by it. members of the cultural studies club said they wanted to move the mass, but couldn t find a new location. christian students say they were relieved it was called off, but still can t believe the college would allow this in the first place. listen here. as members of the university, i m just ashamed that in an environment that s otherwise committed to intellectual free tom, but also to civility would be allowing such a hateful event to happen. the group claim the mass was a historic satanic reenactment and that it was meant to be educational. beyonce and jay-z all smiles sitting court side at the game last night hours after this explosive video surfaced that is getting a whole lot of attention this morning. take a look at this. it shows beyonce s sister attacking her brother-in-law in an elevator. the video lasts 3 1/2 minutes. take a look at this. kicks and punches and all kinds of stuff. this happened at a party last week in new york city. you can see as her sister punches and kicks jay-z while a body guard tries to hold her back. at the end of the clip, beyonce actually pulls them away from one another. they haven t spoken out about this yet. but the standard hotel where this happened blasted the person who leaked the video saying it s, quote, shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system. and listen to this, is it the biggest discovery since 1492? one explorer is now saying that he has found christopher columbus long lost ship, the santa maria. that ship apparently wrecked in a storm off the coast of haiti more than 500 years ago. researchers say they are confident that a full excavation will prove that it is the explorer s actual ship. pretty neat. and just call her a future obstetrician in training. an eight-year-old girl helps deliver her own baby brother. are you having contractions? yes, very bad. i want you to place the palm of your hand it s coming out. the baby is out. oh, my. crystal snyder went into labor two weeks early. it happens. her daughter heard her screams and called 911. the dispatcher gave the instructions and six minutes later, a healthy baby boy was born. jasmine received a certificate from the hospital nurses for her bravery. how cute is that? look at that little girl. those are your headlines. an eight-year-old. well done. no kidding. see you later. i love that. 24 minutes before the top of the hour on this awfully busy tuesday. we ve dispatched maria molina to the streets of new york city where it was a little breezy earlier. it s a little breezy out here. it s making it feel chillier. we re in the 60s. but you really need that jacket as you head out the door, at least throughout the morning hours due to the wind here across parts of the northeast. i want to take you farther west where we do have a storm system that s moving eastward and early this morning, it s producing areas of rain, from parts of texas, up into illinois and there is a concern for some flash flooding. especially across eastern parts of texas and up into parts of arkansas due to the very heavy rain that s coming down. it s going to continue to come down with several inches of rain expected out there. not only today, but tomorrow. tomorrow, you have the risk for severe weather from parts of mississippi, up into ohio, cincinnati, nashville, memphis, jackson. heads up, you could be seeing that severe weather tomorrow, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. temperature wise, above average across the southeast. then 90s in parts of north carolina. cool hyped that storm system. only 50s for you in parts of colorado and new mexico. now let s head over to brian. thank you very much. infidelity, a french judge ruled using on line dating web sites while matter isn t only cheating, it s grounds for divorce? the case involves a couple married for 18 years. the wife caught flirting on the internet with a man she never met. but the judge granted the breakup saying it was the sole fault of the wife who shared intimate photos of herself with a number of men. is this ruling fair or legal insanity? joining us now, dr. keith ablow and arthur aidala, a legal analyst. again, he says he went to school. we ll go on their judgment. i got diplomas. first off, do you agree with the french on this one? it s even easier in the united states of america. you don t even have to go that far. if one of the persons says it s irreconcilable differences that have been going on, the general rule of thumb is more than six months, that s grounds for divorce. it used to be you had to prove you haven t had sex in over a year, adultery, abuse. now it s just like nope, we haven t gotten along in over six months. if you re flirting on line, are you cheating? absolutely not. who raised you, young man! when did marriage become about only the romance? that s not a monogamy? taking care of kids, being financial partner, best friends. what 18-year married couple is sending naked photos of themselves to each other? hence, none. hence, it can t be part of the marriage. so how can it be grounds for divorce? how about we start the trend that the 15 year wedding anniversary you start sending naked photos to each other? i think that would be helpful. that s your friend, my trend. it s a good trend! there is flirting and then there is flirting. this judge said they were naked pictures. arthur, with your legal background, are naked pictures back and forth, maybe you re proud of your body. okay. it depends. if you re entering a body building contest, then she s proud of it what this judge looked at it, he didn t look at it from a fidelity point of view. a slippery slope. the bottom line is, look, we re not going to seed reality to technology that quickly in dr. ablow s office. and couples if there is to be fault divorce, i think it should be no fault, this is not the fault. okay. thank you. we proved as a society is there is no fault. if you leave your spouse over cheating, you never loved the person. whoa! wow! hold on. don t let that go. if you leave your spouse over cheating it means you never loved them? i wasn t going to let it go. i was going to enhance the conversation. i was not going to leave it there. i can t let it go. this is all i got. one third of divorce litigation is caused by on line affairs. so you re saying that one third of those relationships are based on nothing? in my office, if couples come in and say, i m leaving because she cheated, i say well, good. go. because you never loved her anyhow because if that physical breach is going to make you forget that she gets sick, you re not going to take her to the hospital because you never loved her listen to this, 46% of men consider their relationships to be infidelity. if you have a female client, you re more apt to have somebody who wants out. correct. my mother wanted to know, does dr. keith know about your situation? we have video. what he said is correct. a lot of divorce lawyers ask you before you get divorced, would you give your wife a kidney now if she needed it? you either say i d give her the kidney or i m getting divorced. bottom line is, i ve been married lots of years. infidelity would not crush my marriage because my relationship is made up of more than the physical. do both parties feel that way all right. dr. keith listen, just you two promise never to agree. we hardly ever do. coming up before i get yelled at, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our national heros. where is the president on this? didn t he promise to fix that problem? your e-mails and tweets are pouring in. then she sings the songs we all know and love. country star kellie pickler. she not only is a great singer, a great personality and she just waved to me. it s to me, right?

that is in arlington, virginia. here is a story out of durham, north carolina regarding the v.a. hospital there. we ve been telling you over the last couple of weeks about the scandal that started in phoenix where they had a secret second list because any time you go in to a v.a. hospital, you ve got to get care within 14 days, otherwise there is a problem. well, another thing down there in durham, two employees have been placed on administrative leave because they, too, did this illegal selling thing. only two we know of obviously this thing is getting bigger and bigger. and the big question is, do they need a change at the top or do they need more aggressive management micromanaging down below? a lot of you are weighing in how to fix this and whose head should roll. diane said those responsible for mistreating our vets should be jailed. this behavior is disgraceful. terry on facebook writes, our government releases illegal immigrants accused of crimes ranging from d.u.i to murder, while imprisoning our veterans in a dysfunctional system. good point. famously, the v.a. hospital, people have talked for years about well, there is a lot of red tape and they got some of them lousy customer service. but outright corruption like this? that s shocking. yeah. disheartening to think about our nation s heros going and risking their lives to come home and die waiting on a list? this is the good place. this is supposed to be where we re taking care of them. where is the promise? where is the outrage and where is the accountable and where is the president on this? where is the commander in chief? no kidding. standing behind general shinseki. we ll see what happens. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, our final guest of the day. she is fantastic. one of country music s finest and this morning she is here live. superstar kellie pickler coming up and there, getting a touch up. martha mccallum has been in the chair and is ready to go. all touched up and ready to go. good morning. thanks so much. coming up this morning, a bizarre story out of north carolina where the runoff with clay aiken is over because his primary opponent died. we re going to tell that you story. disturbing news about the dangers of releasing some illegal immigrants. and a scuffle in the elevator that s getting everybody talking about beyonce s sister this morning. what is an atheist chaplain?

there is a lot of reality singing competition shows out there. so i think you just have to find ways to reinvent the show and make it interesting and different than the season before it. it sounds like american idol is going to be cutting back the number of hours that they broadcast. are they? yeah, they are. for one day. they re going to cut it back to 37 hours next year. how does that affect the voting? that s a good question. as you look in and watch idol, is there something you think maybe they should do this and it would pep up the ratings? i don t know. or do you think it s just perfect the way it is? i think like i said, there is always room to kind of reinvent. but keep it like it was. of course, i miss sigh simon. what s this? so crazy. i remember watching that and loving you then. that definitely takes me back for sure. this is a chance of a lifetime. it was. i ve been so blessed. people ask me, what s it like to be on the show like that? for me, i can t complain. it was really the rocket that launched my career. and it enabled me to do what i love, which is be a part of country music. and us be a part of special things and do what i love. i love how you re so humble throughout all your success and so thankful for all that and the people who loved you dearly. i know you have an important message today. your grandma died from lung cancer. she did. she was young. she was 66 years old. she was diagnosed with lung cancer in january of 2002 and she died the very next day. so it was very sudden. there she is. that s actually the last picture that we took together before she died. now you re getting that message out? yes. i was really shocked by that. i think there was 1% of women in america are even aware that lung cancer is the number one cancer killer for women. i had no idea. i was blown away. it s estimated that more than 72,000 women in the u.s. will die from lung cancer this year. terrible statistic. what do you want people to do? we need to get everyone rallied up for lung force at lungforce.org, find out how to get involved and raise awareness. we need to be more educated on how we can prevent this and treat this. longforce.org. it s that simple? your grandma would be really proud. i know she s looking down, smiling. amazing to be part of something like this. obviously near and dear to my heart. so i think it s important. i love to sing, i love the music. but when i m able to be part of something like this that really matters and helps save people s lives a lot of people are listening and a lot of people are going on line right now. thank you. kellie pickler, ladies and gentlemen. fame has not changed you at all. a few tattoos, that s it. that s it. we ll be right back. whatever business you re in, that s the business we re in. with premium service like one of the best on-time delivery records and a low claims ratio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. od. helping the world keep promises. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase i make a lot of purchases for my business. like 60,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards even cash back. and my rewards points won t expire. so you can make owning business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can. it s progressive pain. first you have that, that feeling of numbness. then you get the hot pins. it got to the point where i felt like, almost like lightning bolts, hot strikes into my feet. the pain was, it was. i just couldn t handle it, so my doctor prescribed lyrica. the pain has been reduced and i feel better than i did before.

karl rove strikes back at the university silencing secretary rice. shame on the rutgers faculty. shame on them. my personal offer to rutgers. then an american marine right now sitting in a mexican prison. two tours in afghanistan and this is by far the hardest mainly because it s the fear of the unknown. get ready for jam-packed on-the-record tonight. up first the chairman select committee benghazi representative trey gowdy joins us. good evening soon to be chairman mr. gowdy. how are you? i m doing well. this is a partisan, this is a witch-hunt. how are you going to convince the american people that this is going to be a fair hearing, a fair investigation? well, greta, your viewers auto would still have the same unanswered questions as we have. why our so low on 9/11. why we didn t have any assets moving during the siege itself and why the government can t answer your questions completely and accurately in the aftermath. the jury i m interested in are reasonable minded, fair minded people like your viewers, washington is its own ecosystem. they wouldn t like it if i cured malaria tonight. i mean because i m a republican. so, of course they are going to be critical. that s not the jury. although i would tell adam and some of my other colleagues to at least let us have a hearing before you judge it. i mean, let the committee be constituted and the rules be adopted before you declare it to be a political exercise. that s not too much to ask, is it. you refer to adam, i take it you mean congressman adam schiff and he has said that@,d is, look, republicans hired you and gave you your job in california. the democrats gave me a job. back in the 1990s, at least let the process have a chance to work before you declare it null and void. you know, there have been a number of hearings though. what would make this different a select committee. 10, 1213 hearings by different committees. why is this different? it s been so fragmented greta as you know. i can t even attend the intel committee hearing. i have no idea what they have uncovered. just like they don t come to the ojr, the oversight committee. we need a list of the witnesses that have been talked to and which ones are left to be talked to. we need a list of the documents and by the way i m not interested in redacted documents or an overclassification. i want the documents. so i want all of the evidence and then people can draw different conclusions from those facts in evidence. but you can t draw conclusions if you don t have all the facts. and what this committee is going to do is once and for allly out all the facts and then your jury can draw whatever inferences and conclusions they want to. all right. you mentioned the classified documents. i have had a beef with washington for whoever long i have been here. any time anyone hides anything, republican or democrat the trick is to classify it are you willing to go through the documents and do you have the power and the authority to declassify any documents you think were overclassified that shouldn t be kept secret from the american people? speaker boehner is going to give us whatever power we need to get to the bottom of it. jason chaffets was on another show today showing the discrepancy between two documents that were produced. ostensibly the same document. but this had reactions that that one did not have in it. and that s inexclusive when you live in a free and open society where you are supposed to have access to the truth and the facts. solt speaker is going to give us the tools that we need to be able to answer everyone s questions when the select committee has completed its work. you told me right here that you have evidence that not only are they, meaning the obama administration hiding it but there is an intend to hide it. i can t disclose that evidence yet but i have evidence that there is systemic intention to withhold certain documents from congress. will we see those documents? yeah. well, you know, i can t prove to you what i don t know. i don t know whether the documents have been destroyed. i know, this that there are are witnesses that have the courage to come forward and share with us that there was a systematic effort to keep certain documents take the arb, for instance. does anyone really believe the arb had access to all of the documents and all of the witnesses? i don t know anyone who believes that. so, necessarily, that undercuts whatever findings they may have found. i m telling you this: if a document exists, regardless of classification, we need to have access to it. that does not necessarily mean that it will be public. but, as you noted, there is an overclassification to protect people s reputations and careers. and that is not a legitimate reason to classify a document. just because you are worried that it may hurt feelings or impact your career. you mentioned the arb. that was the state department board that looked at benghazi and according to the information i have, is they looked at an after action report by the military. actually, they didn t look at it a summary was read to them. they didn t see they didn t read the whole thing. they didn t read it themselves. are you going to be able to get to that after action report by the military so we can find out what the military was saying within hours and days of september 11th, 2012? yes, ma am. i m not going to rely on any summaries. greta, you are a very good lawyer. there is a reason you can t just summarize evidence in front of the jury. the jury has a right to hear the question. they can judge the credibility of the witness. the credibility can be impeached. i m not interested in summaries. i m not interested in sin nope cease. i m interested in access to the document and the witness and i will decide whether or not i think the appropriate questions were asked in the past how can i til tell your viewers whether she was aware that the fittlez had been attacked before in benghazi or that the british ambassador had been intact. how can i answer that question if the arb never saw fit to even interview the secretary of state? there is another document that was tweeted today or series of documents. the presidential daily briefings for september 11th, 12, 13th, 14th. i don t know what days but some precedent for the bush administration releasing. those are the briefings from the cia to the present that would tell us what the intelligence community from the cia thought happened on the 10th or on the 11th, 12th, and 13th. will you seek to see those and will you urge a disclosure of those to the people? i want to see every single solitary relevant material document. in fact, i want it see everything for which there can be any argument that it is relevant and then we can judge whether or not it s material. for all i know the intel committee has already seen the document you referenced which is another reason the speaker did what he did because we have been fragmented and what intel knows, oversight and foreign affairs and homeland security would not know. do you have an end point? because one of the things that people always worry about in investigations that they take on a life of their own and doing this for the next 100 years. do you have some sort of mission that this will be finished by a particular date. i guess no matter what everyone s concern will be before mid terms, after mid terms, that will have a political implication. people will say do you have sort of in your mind when you want to have this finished? i think the resolution that the house is going to take up is going to have a date in it. that date has not been shared with me, greta. but you also know if there is a systematic intent to withhold you know, the state department said just this week that they are in the process of complying with subpoenas. well, it s been 20 months. how long does it take to comply with the document request? there is no judge in america that would lou you 20 months to comply with a subpoena. so, part of the answer to your question depends upon how forthcoming and how willing this administration is to provide access to the witnesses, and the documents. but with respect to politics, greta, i would just say this: there are certain things in our culture that have to transcend politics. and i don t mean to sound naive, but the murder of four fellow americans and an attack on a facility that is elm policemennatic of our country should transcend politics. and i know that our fellow citizens can handle the truth, but only if they get access to it. they can draw their own conclusions about politics. who is at fault, who is not at fault. but they can t do it if they don t have access to all the documents and all the witnesses. congressman, thank you, sir. and, of course, there are a few technical glitches with the studio. i don t know if you know it i do hope you will come back again anyway. thank you, sir. yes, ma am, thank you. and republicans and democrats already battling over the benghazi select committee. republican representative peter king slamming democratic representative adam schiff s call for a committee boycott. joining us house majority leader eric cantor. good evening, sir. hey, greta. good evening. what do you think about congressman schiff saying that there should be a boycott, democrats shouldn t participate in this select committee? well, you know, i would hope that democrats, just like republicans, want to get to the bottom of the situation here and get the facts out there. the public has a right to know what else the white house is covering up, what else are they hiding? and i also think that the democrats just like republicans, should want to make sure that a president does not and cannot just ignore the congressional oversight process. and clearly we have an instance here where there was a court order that resulted in the revelation of an email that the white house had been withholding from congressional subpoena. again, i m hopeful and i think that they ultimately will do the right thing and participate in this process. what difference though you have had there have been 14 committee hearings. why does the select committee make this any different? how does the select committee more able to get that particular for instance that email that was the subject of a court order? what makes a select committee any more efficient or able to get that? obviously didn t get it here. than the series of committees? well, first of all, you know, i am proud of the work that has been done thus far. there has been a lot of serious work to try and get to the bottom of this situation. obviously the long standing impact here is about being honest with the public and stopping any kind of deceit or coverup on the part of the white house. ommittee will be able to focus its energies in insuring that the white house is going to be held accountable and that it cannot just ignore congressional oversight. you know, this is a part of our government, part of the checks and balances that we are about. and i know that we are going to embark with chairman gowdy s leadership on a very serious effort to make sure thats this has exposed and long standing to make sure our policy in the middle east and in north africa actually can be one that will stop any future terrorist attack from occurring. the committee is not a done deal. there still has to be a vote; is that correct, from a house to form this committee? right. there will be a vote this week to form this committee going forward and i know that chairman gowdy legislature is going to it do a great job in leading this effort. do you expect the democrats will really refuse a position on that committee? i mean is, that or is that just some saber rattling? you know, i can t see how the american people are going to put up with a refusal to participate in a serious process that wants to get to the bottom of what has clearly been deceitful action. that the white house has not been forthcoming in response to congressional subpoenas. and, just as it has been doing in the area of legislation and policy-making, decided just to ignore congress. and the fact is now, it s all caught up with them and we re going to be now engaged in a process of a select committee that will be focusing on trying to find out what else is the white house hiding? what else have the american people been denied in terms of their right to know? i m a big believer and it takes as long as you have. so i i sort of like to give things a time limit. have you given this investigation a time limit to this doesn t become part of, you know, part of all of our lives forever? i am a big believer in that too, greta. i think that the resolution that will be creating this select committee will stay very clearly with the mission is. and, a time to us to wrap things up with take aways. we want them to realize their right to know and again i would say long term we want to make sure that the policies that the white house has been about in terms of the any terrorist policies can be corrected so that this type of event, where an ambassador is killed and other people serving our country is killed in an embassy setting does not happen again. majority leader, thank you, sir. thank you, greta. where was president obama during the deadly terror attack? here is what former national security council spokesperson tommy vetoer told bret baier. i was in the situation room that night. we didn t know where the ambassador was definitively. was the president in the situation room? no. and the fact that your network at one time reported that he watched video feed of the attack as it was ongoing is part of what i think has been a pattern of inaccurate. where was the president? in the white house. so where was the president? senators john mccain and lindsey graham and kelly ayotte writing directly to president obama demanding an answer to that he question and senator mccain joins us. nice to see you, sir. thank you, greta. may i just say this young man gowdy is right out of the lindsey graham mold. i think he is an excellent dhirm chair this committee he he is a smart young man just like his uncle lindsey graham. he has a big job. have you sent a letter to the white house. demanding to know where president obama was the night of september 11th, 2012. why do you want to he know that? the president of the united states while an ongoing tragedy is taking place our consulate being under attack, you would think that, like the video that we saw of the strike on usama bin laden, that we would see many pictures of the president attentive. all we know is that he was briefed by panetta and dempsey and they left and there was no further communication. could i say, first of all, i think it s important that the democrats join in this. when joe lieberman and i said we ought to have a 9/11 commission, the bush administration didn t want it. when abu abu ghraib happened i condemned it waterboarding i condemned it those were all under the bush administration and for them to say that this is partisan, look, if there is nothing to it, as they are saying there is nothing to it, they should want this committee because then they will prove themselves right. then they would be able to say hey, see, i told you there is nothing wrong with it. they are scared to death. i have never seen anything like after 19 months the emails concerning their priorities and the president s spokesperson saying that it had nothing to do with benghazi. now, that has reached a new point. you are talking about press secretary jay carney? i m talking about jay carney. i knew him for years. i knew him as a pretty straightforward journalist. he has destroyed his own reputation by that statement that what clearly was the talking points, which had saying it had nothing to do with benghazi. that, to me, is an all-time low for a presidential spokesperson. i didn t have any particular interest in where the president was that night. i assumed that he was busy working on this as all presidents are. the fact that they won t tell us has made me enormously suspicious. this guy that they sent, tommy veiter that i had never seen until the other night. so flip about it he is the one in the situation room. didn t remember after all. but since when does 19 months go by and it has to be a court order for information. you know, in return for the confirmation of brennan as cia director. we were all told that everything to do with benghazi would be released. now the question is, is what else don t we know about it? and what s been destroyed? i don t like the fact that everything was requested not provided and then a court order and you know now i m even more suspicious because they didn t provide it when they re supposed to. of course now and now as gowdy just said, what s been redacted? there has got to be a thorough review. i would love to see harry reid say yeah we will make this bi cameral select committee. i think it rises to that level. obviously that won t happen. so it s really too bad. and if democrats refuse to take part in this commission, this committee, and more information comes out, they are the ones that will have egg on their faces pause the american people will rightly conclude that they weren t interested in why four brave americans were murdered. i put on gretawire a list of things at a minimum i must start getting information. i would like to see if i were on the committee. i added one to yours. i will put it on there. that is that why is it that after promising that to families that these culprits, these murderers would be brought to justice? one of them did a cnn interview in a cafe in benghazi. why is that not one person has been brought to justice for this heinous crime of murdering four americans and, by the way, another question is, it takes seven hours to get any of our military to benghazi even an overnight of our jets? i didn ti don t believe that. senator, thank you, sir. thank you, greta. the turf war, cia versus obama s national security counsel. honest mistake sore someone lying. sharyl attkisson next. nigeria girls kidnapped. eric holder ducking. in the latest coming up. i don t want to think about the alternative. i don t even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry, but you worry. what happens when your paychecks stop?

it would seem so. we don t know what s behind it whenever the journalists you see these contradictions that seem unexplained makes you look for more there tommy vieter in his interview with bret last week did change substantive parts of the talking points he acknowledged that in the interview. if you look back to what jay carney had said for over a year as well as to what the former deputy director of the cia mike morell testified to in sworn testimony before congress last month, they both were very explicit and a insisted repeatedly that the only change the white house made was not substantive, it was changing the word consulate to diplomatic post they didn t mention anything fly in the face of the insistences that they have made since september 11th, 2012. what did tommy change and why is it significant? according to his interview that he did with fox last week, he introduced an additional thought about social media warnings of ghoptions, in other demonstrations. it appears as though public narrative from the white house this idea there was a protest to blame rather than preplanned terrorist event. that s significant because part of the questions in the weeks following the attacks, part of the questions were whether this was intentional or not. whether there had been some misunderstanding on this. so tommy vetoer if he is correct in what he said in his interview last week totally contradicted what jay carney told reporters over and over again that there was only that one single change. non-substantive, very specific about it and it totally contradicted at least it appears to me what mike morell told congress both in writing and in his oral testimony last month. why does it matter? i mean, there are going to be some, you know, sometimes our memories are a little bit fuzzy over time. it doesn t even have to be more than an hour we can get confused about what we did even an hour ago. why is an inconsistency of any significance or moment? there have been some inconsistencies we don t know why these exist because we don t have the answers. these are simply reasons to keep digging. for example, mike morell was called to testify last month because of contradictions in what he had previously told congress and adoption that came out subsequently. originally when he was asked to change the talking points, because that was the big question in the early weeks, he remained silent according to senator graham and others that he briefed about it, and, in fact, eventually blamed the fbi and then sort of later the same day had to take that back. now, all this time later, he testified oh, yes, i, in fact, spearheaded all the changes. i made all changes. why wasn t that story offered up immediately closer to the event? surely he knew that. we don t know why. you know what i think is really peculiar is that even today at the white house briefing press secretary jay carney acts like there have been so many hearings, beating a dead horse. we have given everything. yet, if that would true why would a month ago we learned something new mike morell testified at a hearing that s the last time we heard from him. a week agnew emails surfacing pursuant to a court order. things are coming out. so i don t know how they can keep hammering saying that, you know, this is all old. it s very typical, this administration measures its supposed transparency by the numbers of hearings it attends and numbers of pages that it turns over to congress which are usually voluminous highly redacted and not particularly informative. those are two separate issues. they do give a lot of material. they are called for a lot of hearings. are they really answering the questions and oftentimes the answer is no. there is going to be a hearing select committee as you know. so maybe things will change. we ll get all the information. anyway, sheryl, nice to see you. thank you. former secretary of state condoleezza rice the target of college campus protests. now secretary rice responding to this growing controversy at rutgers university. her response plus karl rove is here to talk about it next. and, you know what? i want to talk to you off-the-record. i have a special offer just for rutgers. and i want you to hear it first and, of course, this will be off-the-record. that s coming up. i have low testosterone. there, i said it. how did i know? well, i didn t really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive. but when i started losing energy and became moody. that s when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms. then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that s it. it was a number not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% testosterone gel. the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so.what do men do when a number s too low? turn it up!

former secretary of state condoleezza rice canceling commencement address at rutgers university. some protested seackets rice s speech made accusations iraq war. the faculty council passed a resolution calling on the university to rescind secretary rice s invitation. over the weekend secretary rice posting decision on facebook writing rutgers invitation for me has become a descraction to the university community at this very special time. good evening, karl. good evening, greta. rutgers is fine with snooki giving a speech there, not commencement but they don t want the former secretary of state. your thoughts? well, first of all, hypocritical. and stupid. the statement by the organic chemistry professor and the small group of students who protested condoleezza rice s appearance was factually inaccurate. they accused her of torture and waterboarding which it is not. it has been held that it is not. if it were torture, the obama administration would have an affirmative responsibility to go seek charges against anybody connected with it in fact, if waterboarding is torture, then the president, the current president of the united states and the current and past secretary of defense are guilty of torture because we juan military personnel who are participating in our evasion and escape programs and training so first of all not accurate. second much all, if you are going to be opposed to people who supported the iraq war, then what was rutgers doing inviting hillary clinton to speak on campus? she voted for the iraq war. in fact, she said saddam hussein had wmd as did her husband, bill clinton. they never invited bill clinton to campus? will they never invite john kerry to campus who vote for the iraq war. this is political correctness gone nuts. i m sorry that a small group3ec3 of misguided students and a nutty organic chem professor had their way. i have to say connedy s statement was every word sparkled. what a wonderful way for her to remove herself from this situation and to give the students at rutgers back their commencement. but shame on the little totalitarians to the left and their faculty agent who perpetuated this. i also blame the administration though, karl. they gave some wishy washy response of regret or something. i didn t think the university stood up for this at all. i thought that even those who wanted her to speak, their voice was so quiet. it s so weak. right. and, look, that s fine. that s what is expected of university administrators. i want to issue a challenge though to that chem professor and to his student followers. i want you to show the same heightened sensitivity and the same moral outrage when any other supporter of the iraq war appears on your campus or when anybody else who sat in like nancy pelosi did on those briefings about thetvq enhanced interrogation techniques. i want you to show the same kind of sensitivity as you did here with condoleezza rice. i doubt it will ever be shown. this was politically motivated, politically aimed. ideologically driven and stupid. they didn t have their facts out. i m going to have a few comments to say. you might like my proposal and challenge. you might want to stick around later to hear what i had to say. karl, i want to go to a new poll shows president obama in second slump. according to the latest pew poll, 6 5% of voters want different policies that president obama. only 30% want policies similar to president obama s. karl what does this mean for president obama and more importantly for democratic candidates in 2016? this presents a real challenge to hillary clinton. i suspect she saw it coming. very rarely do we have third terms an devil administration. that is to say very rarely in american politics. we generally a at least in the modern era go 8 years for the republicans. 8 years for the democrats. 8 years for the republicans and so forth. obviously we did have two terms of richard next son succeeded by one term of jimmy carter succeeded by three terms of ronald reagan and george h.w. bush but typically there is this tendency to swing one way and come back the other way. so hillary clinton was going to have this problem right from the get-go. only i suspect it s going to be worse than she thought. look, i remember being in a similar doldrums in 2006. the same poll had the american people 23% wanted to vote for someone similar to george w. bush s policies. 70% wanted somebody with different policies. you saw how it turned out in 2008. hillary clinton is requesting to have difficulty extracting herself from the obama record. particularly when she was such a integral part of what s turning out to be a failed part of the obama record, namely foreign policy. so, going to be a challenge for the democrats in 2016. no ifs, ands and butts, how do you be new when you have what you have got existing the old is not very popular. i suppose she is lucky four years off not part of the recent administration. she also does want the support of the president. she doesn t want to distance herself too much to offend him she is going to need his support should run in 2016. that s the difficulty. there was actually a number hidden below this that s even more difficult for the democrats in my opinion. and that is 43% agreed with the felt that republicans in congress, not exact lay very popular brand would be better for the economy than president obama. 39%. and 18% sort of either i don t know or, you know, neither one of us particularly good. i think if a republican presidential candidate comes out with really good answers on the economy, that seemed to make sense, common sense to the american people, they have got a real advantage to get some gains first as the democrats on this critical issue. the economy generally tends to dominate presidential elections, except in times of national crisis. i suspect by 2016 the economy is going to be, again, the number one issue. okay. let s go off-the-record. since i have given them before from harvard law to georgetown law to even my own high school. pick me. i give the rutgers university commencement speech free. not a dime. obviously rutgers knees someone now that the university s first choice former secretary of state that didn t have to happen. if they had backed her up she would be their speaker. she is gracious and knows this is a big day for the graduates and didn t want to become a distraction. i think rutgers looks really bad. plus, think about this, the missed opportunity for rutgers. had rutgers fiercely stood behind and with secretary rice and insisted she give the speech despite all the critics and criticism, the university would stand out as a champions of free speech. showcasing the value of rigorous debate. even when people passionately disagree. instead, the university looks weak, timid in the face of critics and they sure send a lousy message to the graduates. now, it s just within announced former new jersey governor tom keene will now be the speaker but if that falls through, rutgers, here i am. and you can imagine what my topic will be. hah. that s my off-the-record comment tonight. if you have an important story or issue you think i should take off-the-record go to gretawire.com and tell us about it and will the white house stonewall or cooperate with the new benghazi probe?i that s next. d to do something. d to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoidt where axirons applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or incased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctorbout all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased sk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, common side effects include skin redness headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron. does it end after you ve expanded your business? after your company s gone public? and the capital s been invested? or wn your compan s bought another? is it over after you given back? you never stop achieving. that s why, at barclays, our ambition is to always realize yours. for $175 dollars a month?

from the white house perspective how much do you comply with a new investigation when you have done some compliance with previous ones? some compliance? some complinsz. maybe they should comply. i look at this two ways to look at this. one is let s for a second set aside the president and the national security team what they knew and what they didn t. just for a second. just look at the communications team the folks who are paid to let americans know what their government is doing. there is now beyond a reasonable doubt no doubt whatsoever that they treated this solely as a political matter and not as a foreign policy matter. four dead. well, i don t know it s disgraceful or not. i think so. you can make that judgment. what we do know that is how they treated it it because of it it they let get bad information get out. let some of it stay out there for months and months and months. even more disgraceful. if we don t have a conspiracy, we certainly have incompetence. and if all we all that s gone on on the side of lack of security and issues that led to the deaths is what we already know, if severing already out. then the communications team should be fired for incompetence for creating a situation that looks like there is a conspiracy. i think the incompetence is if you take them at face value, which is that they said at the time this is what they really believed they are incompetent. all the facts were pointing completely different direction. we he have had multiple people testifying, whether it s mike morell or general lovell or all these people who were right there at the time saying no analysts were saying that it was the video. you know. kirsten, i never saw tommy veert the other night. so arrogant and cavalier. he is the guy in the situation room? i m scandalized that he didn t seem to care. i mean he said he did but he would didn t seem to. bret prepped him on on where best information is available a guy in the newspaper quoted as saying this. what does that mean. no doubt that tommy cares. good american that cares about his country and people who serve our country interest. and getting president obama reelected. put politics first though that s where you get sarcastic and dismissive and look like you don t care at all. i have done too many murder cases to feel. to me it s astounding. anyway, i m going to take the last word on that. panel, thank you. a u.s. marine says he just made a wrong turn the marine sergeant landing in a mexican jail. you will hear from him from behind bars next. peace of mind is important when you re running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you ll experience reliable uptime for the network and services you depend on. multi-layered security solutions keep your information safe, and secure. and responsive dedicated support meets your needs, and eases your mind. centurylink. your link to what s next. when you didn t dread when youbedtime becausenner with anticipaof heartburn.itation. when damage to your esophagus caused by acid reflux disease wasn t always on your mind. that s when you knew nexium was the prescription medication for you. because for over a decade nexium has provided many just like you with 24-hour relief from heartburn and helped heal acid-related erosions in the lining of the esophagus. and now the prescription nexium you know can be delivered exium direct. talk to your doctor to see if nexium is right for you. there is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. if you have persistent diarrhea, contact your doctor right away. other serious stomach conditions may exist. avoid if you take clopidogrel. for 24 hour support, automatic refills, and free home delivery, enroll at purplepill.com. it s the nexium you know, now delivered.
u.s. marine veteran held in a mexican jail for more than a month. he tells his story. arrested for bringing guns across the border. he said he never meant to. i told him i had three guns and showed them where they were. i checked out the guns i i didn t mean to be in mexico. it s a mistake for me to be here. can guy back to the border. five minutes later i was surrounded by 20 military officials and police officers with guns watching me. reporter from union tribune in san diego joins us. how did he end up in mexico? i mean, can you accidently end up in mexico like he says? you can, you know. he said that he and his friends decided they wanted to get some good mexican food so they thought they would go down to the border which he shows his lack of knowledge about san diego. because you certainly don t need to go to the border to get good mexican food in san diego. his story is that they drove down there, didn t really know where he was going. he blew past the last exit off the freeway, interstate 5 which goes to the border. the next thing he knew he was at the mexican border. and he couldn t then turn around at that point when he realized i don t want to go to mexico, couldn t make a u-turn there or not? right. well he certainly didn t see anywhere too. customs and border protections say there is a left u-turn at the very end before you get to the border. but it s a five lane interstate. i don t know which lane he was in. but, you know, he didn t see the left turn to turn around. what are we doing to get him back to the united states? what s the american government doing? it s become a congressional cause. two congressman from san diego duncan hunter a marine reservist him and scott peters have written letters to john kerry to try to expedite the situation. he has got a hearing on may 28th. which is apparently the first chance for a dismissal. but, you know, this isn t the first time this has happened. and, often these folk also have to sit in jail for a few months until the mexican legal system gets through the process. jen, thank you very much. and we hope he gets out soon. thank you, jen. thanks. and now to breaking news. more than 200 school girls are being held captive by terrorists in nigeria. jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. jen? well, greta, over the weekend, secretary of state john kerry told reporters that the u.s. would help in the search for the missing 300 or so nigerian girls kidnapped by al qaeda off chute three weeks ago. then we hear today that attorney general eric holder says the fbi will help in whatever way it can in the search. and that he has ordered a review of the group boko haram and we hear from pentagon officials even if they wanted to send air assets, drones or aircraft to help with the search, they would not be able to do so because there are no protocols in place with the nigerian government for the u.s. government to enter nigerian airspace. in other words the nigerians have to ask for u.s. help formally but they haven t done so. today the leader of the terrorist group for the first time claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and for enslaving the girls. i abducted your girls, the leader of the terrorist group said in the new video that was released today. he offered to sell the 13-year-old girls some of these girls, we have been told have been forced to marry their captors. the christian girls were forced to convert to islam according to sources in touch with the group. mothers of the kidnapped girls protested this weekend in nigeria s capitol. they are angry that the president of nigeria good luck jonathan has done very little to find jonathan. in a twist nigeria s president s wife ordered the protesters arrested and expressed doubt about the kidnapping. her husband then publicly demanded that president obama send military help but the pentagon says it has no plans as of now, greta, to send the u.s. military to nigeria to aid the everyone. this is one of the worst stories we have been covering for several days on the record on the record. thinking it couldn t go on it goes on and on and on. 300 girls kidnapped and being held by islamic terrorists and nothing at least so far. what a terrible story. hopefully it will end well soon. thank you, jennifer. and there is more breaking news. a plane crashes into a house. there is new video just. in that s next. nds to stay at r. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it s not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don t take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. to get your client s attention. from brochures to business cards to banners. everything. except your client s attention. thousands of products added every day to staples.com, even bullhorns. how much?

this is a fox news alert. breaking news from colorado. a plane crashing into a house. this terrifying video just. in the small plane was towing an advertising banner when it went down slamming right into the house. amazingly the pilot walked away with only minor injuries and no one was in the house at the time. thanks for being with us tonight. right now though go to gretawire.com and answer this questions: should rutgers university fought harder for secretary of state condoleezza rice. vote in our poll. up next the o reilly factor. good night from washington, d.c. and we will see you where? right here 7:00 p.m. tomorrow. good night. the o reilly factor is on. tonight: i don t think it makes sense for the democrats to participate. as the investigation into a white house benghazi coverup expands, why are democrats refusing to get involved? we ll tell you. there wasn t a conspiracy. they did not turn out to be accurate. well, how did it happen? i think that people made at the time, their best guess at the facts. where did the idea that the video had anything to do with benghazi come from? sparks fly between fox news brit hume and a former democratic congresswoman over benghazi s unanswered questions. brit will join us with reaction.
this country being denied medicaid expansion. my mother raised me to stand up and i won t sit down for anybody. this is politics nation growing hope. where we refuse to have despair. we re growing home from georgia. politics nation with al sharpton. hardball starts rite now. the shame game. let s play hardball. the accusations now from fox to limbaugh to all corners of the planet hate is that the secretary of state is guilty of letting the 200 girls be taken in nigeria. that s right. he said those that grabbed the girls would not have done so if hillary clinton had named him to the foreign terrorist list. guess what? hillary clinton did name that guy to the terrorist list. also two of his top commanders. she did it two years ago after their group attacked and killed 23 united nations workers in nigeria. the sick fact here is that everything that goes wrong in the world that causes horror is now going to be counted by the hate hillary crowd on this country s recent top diplomat. whether it s here in an ungoverned torn libya. she was on watch and should have kept it from happening. this is an absurdly unfair statement. it suggests a world class dereliction on clinton s park wherever anything went wrong anywhere. has any democrat done this to w or cheney or any of that bunch? said every time we faced the hell of an ambush in iraq or a roadside attack it hung on the soldiers of the country s top officers? i must have missed it. by the lethal standards of the hate hillary crowd, the one being road tested with nigerini the attack on new york and washington in september of 2001, the fact that no one saw that one coming should have led to the president, the vice president and the rest of this country s security officialdom to be hung up in chains. with us now is howard fineman. it seems like every day brings, as it does if you read a quality newspaper, bad news somewhere in the world. something happens. crap happens. and now, the automatic machine says hillary did it. they should check a coup of facts. while the organization wasn t named, the three top leaders were. and that was decided upon after a very nuanced decision making how to go after this group. and not to make every u.s.-owned facility an easy fat target for this group to go after. your thoughts? i think this is just the beginning of what the right is going to attempt to do to hillary. they re going to back time and replay backwards every event in the world today and look for the connection. is this six connections of kevin bacon? yes. when she was secretary of state. when you re secretary of state, you deal by definition in grays. you deal in nuance. that s why her book is called hard choices. but when you re trying to explain the detail of a policy, while you were reluctant to allow full-on nigerian army and nigerian regime bh which committed atrocities. when you try to explain the nuance and the grays of your time as secretary of state when you re up against the accusatory culture that she is now in, it s going to be difficult. it s easy compared to explaining or trying to defend everything they re going to throw at her from her time at state. you know what i think fuels this? not so much information. information is scant, even the people who say benghazi all day long don t have a lot of information to give you. the fuel is the anger. yes. the free floating anger the at obama and now being gradually shifted to her. it s so ferocious it will power any attack. steve duecy or rush limb bauer or laura i thingraham, it now s to have weight. hate has weight. if you say something about them, it now somehow seems vaguely material. we seen it since barack obama became the front runner 2008, the hatred that has propelled conservatives and republicans to do everything in their power to go after him. they re going to do it against hillary clinton because simply right now she is front-runner on the democratic side in 2016. it s unfortunate, though, because it gives us a chance to really sit down as a nation and really think about what should our foreign policies been and how has the u.s. dealt with africa as a continent, the big picture. wednesday reporting in the daily beast hillary s state department refused to brand boko haram as terrorists. she was even charged with hypocrisy. here it is. now word is because we did not place them on the terrorist list of officially known terrorist groups it s going to be harder to go after them. and who made sure they were not placed on the terror list? hillary clinton. for hillary clinton now over the last couple of days to talk about how bad they are, given the fact that she could have done something a couple of years ago and did not. and the fact that her big initiative last week was to help women and girls, there s a little hypocrisy going on. rush limbaugh went further, also blaming the president for not personally overriding the state department s decision on boko haram. why just blame hillary? certainly obama could have overrule perd d her. i just think this is pathetic. we have 300 nigerian girls kidnapped by an al qaeda group. now we re on a big push to get them back. an al qaeda group. he snuck that one in. and ingraham cited a previous attack on young boys and asked why the administration was so slow off the mark. this past february, the group burned 59 young boys to death in northeastern nigeria. no loud calls to intervene then. but now suddenly political elites want u.s. action. where was that powerful drum beat for justice against those who slaughtered american citizens in benghazi. the concept, first of all, he did name all three of the top leaders to the terror list two years ago when they re saying when did he do it. this idea that we re responsible for every acre of property on the planet and if something goes wrong, we should be there. that s not a conservative argument. that s not what they believe, is it? we should be involved in the internal politics of a country they once had a president who ran for president and got elected on the idea that we were not into nationwide bilding. do you remember that? that was george w. bush. i just think that it s dem demonolo demonology. there are jilegitimate question you can ask about hillary s tenure as secretary of state. but as you pointed out, they begin at the end. they begin with the demonization by definition, she has to have something extremely wrong. the president has to have done something extremely wrong and they will work their way backwards to that, to whatever facts ultimately they think might prove the case. even throwing stuff out that turns out to be wrong 24 hours later. that they never even apologized for. they re just going to move forward in that fashion. it s a psychological thing, chris. they take comfort in their own fears. it s a form of political cocooning and it s going to go on with this and any other issue they can come up with. as long as hillary is around. are we going to have a select committee on nigeria now? when did the republican party take a keen interest in africa. i was going to say. it was very nice to see all these conservatives beating the battle drum for justice for people who look like me. truth is, bush administration, obama administration has been ignoring the fact that we have islamist extremists creeping up all over africa and it s time, rather than put the blame on hillary clinton or barack obama or quite frankly george bush, it s time we sit down and think are we really so tired about talking about america post 9/11, and are we really so war weary after iraq, afghanistan, iran and all the other conflicts in libya and elsewhere that we are willing to continue to ignore countries like africa. continents like africa. nigeria is the most populous, important country to the united states. wednesday night, just to prove this was all about exploitation and opportunism. newt gingrich who never misses a chance, congressman should hold hearings on why the state department refused to tell the truth about boko haram in nigeria. and the homeland security committee, peter king of new york and patrick meehan of new york asked john kerry asking him to explain decisions made. fair enough. this thing about newt gingrich you ve got to wonder. this is just a proof of opportunity. by the way, the reason newt is tweeting is because he s not on the air. he s not using the old crossfire he doesn t have a bully pulp pulpit. up there with donald trump now it s shameful politics and i would be remiss if i didn t mention the fact that hillary clinton back in beijing jeers ago was one of the first leaders to say women s rights are human rights. we re talk act the abduction of just slightly under 300 young girls in nigeria and we re playing politics with the lives of young women. that s sick on both sides of the aisle. the women s issue is one very important part of the equation. the other not so sub sub text here is religion. it s faith. there was an attack in a catholic church in nigeria. where boko haram killed people. because they re kooth licks. and what the connective tissue here is for the people attacking hillary and barack obama is that somehow they re soft on islamists. they don t say nit quite those words, but that s what they re because obama is a muslim. there you go. for anyone who doesn t really understand that you re making a joke, we should really say that he is not a muslim. people who normally watch fox. i m translating for the clowns in the clown car. that s what this is really about. this is as much about religion as it is about gender. and that s the connection between hillary and barack obama that they re somehow swirning on this thing. they re on the other side. in these words, they throw out it s all about trying to demonize, i think, is so smart. i will argue that the fuel again, as i said a few moments ago, the fuel of every one of the attacks is not information. because there is no real information about it. there s a murkiness about some of these things, like benghazi. it is murkiness what happened that night. but they use that open vacuum of murkiness and fill it with hatred. and hatred says we hate them so much they must be guilty. and that s it. and while they re doing it, we don t know what s happening to these young women in nigeria. i m hopeful we ve got s.e.a.l.s, guys with more guts than they can imagine. they re going to go into the jungle and find them we re the best at that. let s hope the courageous people who fight for this country are going to do the job here if they get a chance. the republican obsession over benghazi, eight investigations apparently weren t enough. they ve chosen the members of the latest committee to investigate this supposed scandal. the democrats haven t picked anyone. plus, how desperate are republicans about 2016? they still can t find someone who hid that center right sweet spot in a far right party. surprising there. and how do you choose sides in a race between birther ted yoho and his republican challenger jake rush. i love these names. who spends his spare time playing a vampire. just ask stephen colbert. finally, kathleen matthews there she is, former top news anchor here in washington is coming on to talk about the spiking global interest in women s issues. from the whorrors of nigeria to the smashing of the glass cheel l ceiling here at home. salmon . but the energy bp produces up here salmon . creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. it s a tie between barbara bush and hillary clinton both at 20%. michelle obama is close behind at 24%. but watch what happens when you break down those numbers among democrats. michelle obama is the narrow winner. republicans picked barbara bush over her daughter-in-law laura bush 45 to 36. and independents are evenly split between barbara bush and hillary clinton. among african-americans, michelle obama is the overwhelming favorite. latinos prefer hillary clinton by 16 points. and among white voter, it s barbara bush leading hillary clinton by 9. laura bush in third, michelle obama in fourth. be on at&t s network for $175 dollars a month?

a level of decency, don t count it, madam chairman. the democrats have to to decide if they re boycott the committee or provide their own members. charles krauthammer wrote today, all that matters is the committee produces new important facts. i agree with him on that, by the way. why do you guys disagree? here we are friday night. who thinks with me, i m tilt the scale here. who thinks with me and elijah cummings it s better to show up, catch them in the contact of buffoonery, call them on their crap or that it is to stand in the sunlight. i think they should participate but play this game under protest. elijah cummings has shown with darrell issa, he got the better of him again and again. they will be putting out every little memo they can find with any sentence or phrase. and i think it s good for the democrats to know this. i think the event, the hearings have already been so politici politicized, the republicans are starting in a bad position. we re doing this under protest. we think this is a circuit. i say boycott. the recent history shows the party that mucks up in washington doesn t really pay a price for mucking up the process in washington. they did in 98. they got confused by these questions. cummings was a good foil to issa on that committee. the democrats can stand right in the hall way outside the hearing room. ready access for reporters, ready to counterpunch. michael dukakidukakis, be thd defend an attack. never hide from it and take it. oh, the people will never fall for this bs. i think hillary clinton, by the way, i know she s not running, but she s suffering right now from not having a war room. a bunch of guys like carville and those guys that pound back, throw it right back. anyw anyway, here s charles krauthammer assuming a sort of referee s role here. he says gowdy needs to keep the hearings clean and strictly fact oriented. questions only. no speech fiing. these hearings are a big political risk for the republicans. they stand to benefit from the major issues. obamacare. the economy, chronic unemployment. from which benghazi hearings can only distract. worse, if botched like previous hearings on the matter, these hearings could backfire against the gop. as did the 1998 clinton impeachment proceedings. so far, there s no evidence the republicans are taking charles advice. my fair fear is they ll come out with something like a memo and say guess what? we got this incredible memo! but it s nothing. i think this is about two things. background nose. some taint of scandal. the other thing is they want to set up a situation where at the end of the day, they re not going to get any real scandal here. i think on both fronts, having a democrat in the room on both fronts will make that even harder to pull off. can hillary clinton avoid this? i don t know. i think she would have to come if a skmit tee of congress asked her to come in. henry waxman subpoenaed condee rice in 2007. heldry would have to go. the idea of self-policing isn t working anymore in politics. here he is, basically defending the use of the killing of those four diplomats overseas on watch for us. their killing is now vary game to raise money with and here he is saying so. here s mitt romney, the gentleman, talking here. i think what the republicans have every right to say and is roept to say, if republicans do not have a majority is there would not be an investigation into benghazi. elect republicans so we can have these kinds of investigations is appropriate. he doesn t know what he s talking about. he s talking about raising money. if we go out and raise money on this horror out there, then it s fine. he s factually wrok. wrong. there have been eight investigations. two were by the senate and the senate is run by democrats. do you remember aft9/11, democrats going out with fundraising e-mails and solicitations saying george bush awill youed terrorists to kill 3,000 americans so give us money so we can investigate? maybe that happened but i certainly don t remember democrats making that sort of argume argume argument. certainly not the leaders of the party, the elder satesmen. it s amazing you can do this these days and not have the referee come out and blow the whistle at you. i think something has changed. the hate against the president, the far right, the fringe right, and has moved over to the scepter right, i agree with that. they hate him. to the point where ingraham and those people on the right, all they have to do is voice that hate, each though i don t think they all share it. some are just doing it professionally. they just have to play that incredible power of hatred to just say, hillary did this, obama did this and that s enough. i ve never seen anything like it. the white way accused of being uppity? we know what this means. i9 s not even code. it s not even code. it s birth of the nation. it s early 20th century talk. i had 50 don serve tifs on my twitter feed telling me there s no racial connotation on the word uppity. it s an adjectives. excuse me, guys, we re americans and have grown up with the good, the bad and the ugly of our country. it s got it all. have a nice weekend, you guys. have a nice mother s day where it s appropriate. by the way, you have to rely on the people who are the mothers. up next, a part-time vampire and full-time republican running for the united states congress makes a mistake of talking to stephen colbert. that s always a mistake, usually. this is hardball the place for politics. with diabetes, it s tough to keep life balanced. i don t always have time to eat like i should. that s why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

[ crowd cheering ] good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it and do some experiments. so start your day off good with a coffee that s good cup after cup. maxwell house. good to the last drop president obama praised walmart s investment and energy efficiency and renewables during a visit to a store in mountain view, california. the visit was part of a broader energy reform push. the white house is criticizing a visit by vladimir putin to crimea which it says will only serve to fuel tensions there. and dick parsons is picked to run the clippers. back to hardball. republicans have become a far right party, but in republican presidential politics, center right is the sweet spot. because then you can win. along the spectrum of potential gop, which includes ted cruz and rand paul, critical center right real estate is up for grabs. mitt romney of all people has shown he doesn t want to be too far away from the arena in case that center right slot needs to be filled because jeb doesn t run and christie is not clean enough to run. in the past few months he s been very visible on the sunday shows. he s endorsed republican candidates in the 2014 cycle and given money to others. and this morning he popped up on morning joe. . pe he tacked very much to the center on the issue of minimum wage. for instance, i part company on the issue of minimum page. i think we ought to raise it. frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay. anyway, he hopes that hillary clinton s term as secretary of state will hurt her in 2016. i think her record there is a very substantial liability for her cam panl in 2016 i think it s going to raise a lot of questions about her capacity to accomplish things of significance. particularly on foreign soil. as gene mccarthy, my hero once said famously, it s easier to run for president than to stop. and based on his frequent tv appearances of late, and political endorsements, it looks like mitt romney wants to stick close to the action. i think you re brilliantly direct krekt. he still looks like he belongs in the hall of the presidents down at disneyworld. but go ahead. your thoughts. another thing that romney did on the morning joe appearance this morning was to say he didn t want to run for president again. he said he doesn t think the united states wants to elect anybody who s already won twice and lost. i think he s probably right. the country clearly has no big clamor for mitt romney. but what he did do was he sort of signaled who he thought would fill that assistanter rice space you like to talk about. he talked about paul ryan, his running mate in 2012. he talked about rob portman, he talked about mike pence, the governor from indiana. he talked about scott walker. he laid out a whole list of people he said would basically match hip in terms of his views. why is he talking? why is he on television? just to promote other people? or is he trying to keep our eye on him? i like kasich, but they re pretty far back on the bench. there isn t anybody sitting on that front step of the republican party right now. i guess he feels like why should he do the proverbial sherm sherman-esque statement and say under no irk ises will i run. but weave already even chris christie implode and jeb dependent get off to a great start either. let me just explain my limited role around here. besides genuinely doing the show is history. and beth is pretty much right, except i know a man who ran for presidency three times and ran on the third time, ronald reagan. he ran in 68 oh, that doesn t count. it doesn t count. you know why it doesn t? because california is out of play for republicans. ronald reagan, he was the governor of california and it was very much a republican state. but he ran three times. there s no doubt mitt romney thinks he would be a terrific president and the only thing 245 cures presidential ambition is em balming fluid. it s not just that he lost twice. all the conservatives and all the republicans basically believe he lost an election that was his to win. he won the first debate. he probably goes to bed thinking if i won two debates, not one, i would be president. the 47%. they blame. republicans exhaust all other possibilities before going for the most obvious one, the center right guy, whether it was romney, whether it was mccain. even george w. bush. they do have a history of doing this after they flirt with all these other guys. and it s certainly there for the taking. there s nobody above 13 or 14 points in the republican polls right now. there s, like, nine candidates within seven points of each other. you look at this all the time. here s my question, the republicans have a make a decision, can they beat hillary? the polls will be close enough to say we can knock her off, we can take her down. or decide we can t beat her, so let s have fun and do what we really believe and run somebody on the right. go for it, which means go to the center, don t pick the person that you love. go to the person you got to live with. i think the one closest right now to the center is hillary. just think about the list of people that you and dana just went through. every single one of them was the center candidate, every single one of them lost. george w. won. we re going back quite a few years there. and the country has changed a lot there. that s only a small part of my life. it may be a big part of yours. but not mine. the bigger problem for republicans in time is structural. democrats have in the last 20 years won 18 state that was produced 248 electoral votes. that is starting with such a huge advantage. and the rest of the states that aren t in that category are states like florida that are moving more and more towards the democratic side. but what about the tendency of the country to rotate the stock? and every eight years they tend to go back and fovrt with some exceptions like people wanted a third term for reagan and dukakis was a bad candidate politically. but there s a tremendous challenge to somebody who tries to hold the white house. for that last 12 years. that means 16 years. it s really hard to sell that one. it is. but what we re missing here is spruns are up against this huge demographic problem. it s very hard for them to thread the needle. it will be even worse in 2020 and 2024 beyond that. they have to thread it just properly. you re not going to get that with a rand paul. by the way, hillary, sherrod brown owning ohio, they win the election. that s my argument. i m not in charge. sherrod brown and hillary wins. up next, who better to talk about mother s day and women s issue around this world than somebody who travels around the world all the time. my wife kathleen. and she s coming here next. the day we rescued riley was a truly amazing day. he was a matted mess in a small cage. so that was our first task, was getting him to wellness. without angie s list, i don t know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. from contractors and doctors to dog sitters and landscapers, you can find it all on angie s list. we found riley at the shelter, and found everything he needed at angie s list. join today at angieslist.com [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. she can print amazing things, right from her computer.

[ barks ] welcome back to hardball. have you noticed the attention to women s issues around the world. there s a focus on women and girls and we ve seen it through the horrors, fk o, in nigeria recently where 276 girls were abducted by a military group that sparked international outrage. we ve seen positive attention in the fight to women for equal pay, a crackdown on sexual abuse and possibly the first woman s president of the united states in hillary clinton. we ve also seen it in business, billionaire coo of facebook, an advocate for women and girls, cheryl sandberg created a movement after releasing her book lean in. from world affairs to government or business, thes facing the world these days are ripe for leadership for women. there s only one woman i can think of to discuss this for me and with me ahead of this mother s day weekend, the mother oof our three children, my wife, kathleen matthews. thank you for joining us. it s on these special occasions that i ask you to come on and you ve agreed. but there is something in the air where centuries have gone by, maybe back to the beginning of time where men dominated the conversation. the conversation, not just the power. and now the conversation is shifting. it clearly has in my lifetime. i think we seen the conversation ebb and flow. i mean, i got into the work force in the 1970s and i remember at that time this was going to be the big movement of women into the work force and towards equality and pay and different things. and i would have imagined i would have seen a lot more ceos that were women by this point in my lifetime. and i think what you see is you see progress and then you see a couple steps backward. but something like the young women who have been kidnapped in nigeria. that s not a women s issue, but i think this is this outrage and this to them it is. what about what about the mothers who have these 300 daughters who are missing and the fathers that are worried about those daughters. i think to see the world cat liez around that, whether it is first lady michelle obama, hillary clinton talking about it, women all over the world. nigeria is a country that has a finance minister who is a woman. it is a country that s trying to move into this century. women s rights are going to have to be at the forefront of that. you ll have to have the women of nigeria feel safe, to feel that they have opportunity. otherwise a country like that, even though it has eclipsed south africa, it won t be a world power until women have rights and feel safe in a country like that. what do you do with a country that s an alley, they re basically subjective to the men. these are tough questions on the foreign policy front. how do we move these countries forward. in saudi arabia, women are trying to drive cars. they don t even have the right to drive cars. they re posting their videos on youtube. they re being educated, but it is a segregated education system and women cannot have jobs alongside men in that economy. how can saudi arabia move into the leading economies of the world and sort of the progress of this century, unless they deal with those issues, which for them they say are religious issues. i think the u.s. finds ourselves often times in really difficult positions in how we deal with these diplomatic issues and we have problems at home. you talk about equal pay. we are talking about it not because it is a positive issue, we are talking about it because studies show there is not necessarily equal pay. on our corporate boards, 16% of the representatives on corporate boards are women. they should be closer to 50%. ceos, it is the same. companies like marriott have women s strategies now, we are trying to make progress in what do you think of lean forward, lean in. let me lean in. what s that mean? lean in is about the fact that i think sheryl sandberg believes women have a role in this, too, that women have to kind of push to take their place. they ve got to be demanding of those opportunities and they ve got to take advantage of those opportunities. i think what she s saying is companies will not flourish unless they have the diversity of men and women. you need that diversity, in age, in gender, in racial representation in order to have a smart business i think, or a smart government. so she s saying companies have to do this. governments have to do it. but women also have to lean in to take those opportunities. and so that s why this dialogue is out there. it is out there because you still see lagging progress, and i think that no company or no country is going to flourish unless they take advantage of the intellectual potential of women, the economic power of women, the countries doing the best are ones where women are leaning in and are out there. what s your reaction to what sven holmes said when you recruit women for top accountant jobs, men immediately say i can fill a couple of those standards and bs my way through a couple more. women want to fit every one of the standards. when are women going to have the ability to say i can do this, even if it doesn t technically mean i can do it. where guys say i can do it. it is kind of a two-way street. this is how girls grow up. you have girls like cheryl sand berg and condi rice saying girls have to embrace being pushy, what is the word, that they have a word for it where girls are seen as being pushy if they say i want to be class president, not class vice president, or secretary. i think it is how you raise your daughters. how do you think we raised our daughter. she will be president someday or something. but she s got to get through, number one, does she want to have a family, if she has a family, how much does she leave the work force for that. what are the things in place to help her raise that family. will she find a husband that will share this load with her. we have been lucky to have a marriage where we both were full time in our careers and had the joy of raising children, which we celebrate on this mother s day coming up, and to be able to sort of pursue careers at the same time, feeling like we had great quality time with our kids. kathleen, i agree with everything you said. because you have been a great partner in all this. i wish i could be as equal to greatness as you are. we will be right back. kathleen matthews, i have words to speak of her when she s gone. back after this. alright, that should just about do it. excuse me, what are you doing? uh, well we are fine tuning these small cells that improve coverage, capacity and quality of the network. it means you ll be able t post from the breakroom. great! did it hurt? when you fell from heaven (awkward laugh) .a little..

[ female announcer ] we eased your back pain, you turned up the fun. tylenol® provides strong pain relief while being gentle on your stomach. but for everything we do, we know you do so much more. tylenol®. let me finish tonight with what kathleen just told us. we have been together 36 years, and i have been fortunate to watch her grow from a local tv producer to a top news anchor in the nation s capital to a highly placed corporate executive. i watched her educate herself as i tried to do to the challenges facing this world, including those challenging women. she has taken particular interest in the horror of hiv and aids in africa, with special focus on transmission of infection from mother to children. she has gotten our own children as they grow older to get involved in this work of caring for african kids born with aids. kathleen has also been a proponent of encouraging the development of micro entrepreneurialism. efforts to help women especially begin small businesses in places like rural africa. i love her big picture look at the world that she s gained over the years as executive vice president of marriott international. she took me on a trip to china as a business trip, gave me a look at that incredible country as it zooms into the 21st century. there s no limit to where kathleen herself is zooming, i am so lucky, don t you think? all the time the best mother of michael, thomas and caroline. i look into the kids faces and they love every ounce of real concern and consistent love that kathleen gives them. she worked with them on the homework mostly and the one that
that is it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes on the record right now. this is a fox news alert. out-of-control nine wildfires raging across southern california. just a short time ago one fire roaring to life and threatening entire neighborhoods. thousands forced to flee their homes. reporter sharon shin is live with the latest. sharon? greta, we actually got out of that neighborhood and we are in a safe area now. we are in an area called harmony grove. you can see right there the sphir smoldering in that person s property. now, this fire right now, this is the area the firefighters were trying to keep the fire out of this morning. harmony grove. earlier this morning we were in san marcos. and we were in that neighborhood where would literally got there. watched the sheriff deputies evacuate all the homes in the area. blaring loud speakers please leave their homes. within, i swear to you, 10 minutes that we saw that fire just come roaring over the ridge and that is what firefighters are dealing with today. this fire is so fast moving fanned by these winds that continue to kick up every now and then and, of course, the heat. the heat is definite factor in this fire fight today. and as you can see, some people are still trying to get their animals out of this harmony grove area which is a lot of horses in some of these homes, greta? sharon, any idea on containment? i mean, when you look at the video from here, it looks awful. it looks dangerous. it looks like it s just going to, you know, take over the entire area. burn everything in sight. but is there any containment? i wish i could give you a better numbers than. this but, no. at this time the last report we had it was at 5% containment. and this, that was the san marcos fire. this co-coast fire right now is at 0 percent containment and it s burned a thousand acres. in total between the two fires that i have been covering today that b. four homes have been destroyed so, of course, our hearts go out to those families. are people cooperating? taking those evacuation orders seriously or are the firefighters having to contend with that problem? no. they are absolutely taking it seriously. a lot of these people, i have spoken with they have had their items packed long before today. they maybe had them packed on tuesday, when these fires were coming through this area knowing that this may be the case. and once they get that knock on the door, they are out. sharon, thank you. and that looks absolutely dangerous and terrifying. thank you, sharon. and in minutes you are going to hear from the fire team on the front lines plus a live report from the neighborhood in the fire s deadly path. right now on the record, a story that is making me angry and it will make you angry her roars at v.a. hospitals. where does the buck stop? would you explain to me after knowing all this information, why you should not resign? also the new york times waging a war on women. on the record investigates tonight. then, give us our dad back. casey kasem found. and why did the radio legend vanish. the administration has done or said that we re not aware of? dang if i know. susan rice scoffing at serious questions. get ready for a jam-packed on the record. and right now veterans affair department eric shin seq.y telling a senate panel is he mad as hell. i thought it was appropriate for him to come before congress. if he doesn t give a better answer, i m not sure how he wouldn t have to do anything but resign. but, greta, whether he resigns or not is important. but if these allegations are true, people should be going to jail. that s just resigning their positions. that s why i asked if the attorney general should get in because the attorney general one who can convene a grand jury and get to the bottom of it to see if there is a crime. absolutely. we have the inspector generate now working on it. that s the slow walk. congress does that for every problem in capitol hill. let s get the inspector general out to do it it these veterans have waited an awful long time, some to their death. if many of these allegations turn out to be true, and there is ample evidence that they probably are i m not drew drawing any firm conclusions just yet, everything i have seen is going to lead us to the attorney general s office of the united states of america. should the american people also be distressed at the committee that has oversight of the general shinseki and the veterans affairs? because we hear about this after the fact. after something catastrophic has happened. oversight to i thought you would be monitoring it as we go along. both veterans affairs committees in the house and senate have been made aware of problems within the v.a. my office has. we have more people who come to us with problems with the v.a. than all the others combined. and i have dedicated staffers that only do those issues. we knew about delays. we knew about problems with scheduling. we knew a number of other things we certainly did not hear up until an allegation that people actually died while awaiting treatment. that s a step further. what is is the explanation for these waiting lists and sort of cooking the books? are they saying that they don t have enough money and they are trying to sort of juggle it in order to provide services? what s the explanation? they were given guidelines that they had to meet. in other words, certain number of days before certain things were done. an appointment, treatment, et cetera. and obviously they were not meeting those criteria. so, we have evidence already of a person who was has been suspended who said, basically, they were cooking the books. in other words, so that they would meet these criteria and time lines that were laid down came from the v.a. here in washington. that s what this was all about. you know, i think of these members, men and women in our military, when we need them, they go. they don t say hold off. wait a little bit. we re going to cook the books. they go. this is the this is what we give them. this is shameful under any circumstances. it is ten times more shameful because it s being done to the men and women who have put their lives on the line for us. so why do does anyone have to wait, americans wait for the attorney general to get on this right now? if the inspector general wants to do a report. can he do one too or she can do one too. but why not demand the attorney general do it right now. get on this. i would like to wait until the house armed services, house veterans affairs committee hearing which is going to be very soon, i think next week that they are going to have that hearing. and then i think we should make a decision. i think it s appropriate to have the hearing here today which, by the way, there was nothing presented today that would successfully rebut the allegations that have been made. then that s even more reason not to wait. even if you have another hearing, there is is not much you can do here in the senate. we don t have quite the muscle that the attorney general has of the united states. that s why i don t get the hearings are informative. he they are interesting. i like to cover them. i find them interesting. but they don t have the muscle that the attorney general has. we are looking at a matter of days here. and in somerespects, it may be more impactful to have general shinseki testify as the head of the v.a., the one who is totally responsible. that may be appropriate. but we are talking about a matter of days here. again, like any of these scandals, afternoon even more so i think there is a lot of layers to this onion. already there are number of allegations all over the country. started as a v.a. scandal and obviously spread. if i were the u.s. attorney in phoenix even though my boss eric holder and you united states senator holding all the hearings. i would open my own investigation and wait for the senate to yell at me and the attorney general to yell at me. that s in his jurisdiction, the u.s. attorney there should be doing something, investigating. one thing about you, yet, have you never minded people yelling at you. i get yelled at a lot. on that note, thank you, senator. thank you. version of the interview will be posted on gretawire. while the v.a. secretary was taking heat on the hill white house under fire. ed henry joins us live. good to see you, greta, you are right. the house majority leader eric cantor put out a blistering statement there is a pattern at the white house when a scandal pops up or allegations of wrongdoing the cabinet secretary takes the heated like kathleen sebelius did on healthcare that now this is happening with eric shinseki. the white house pushed back on that today by telling me put one of the top aides neighbors overseeing the review at the v.a. to show they have some skin in the game and they are going to get on top of this. as you were just saying a moment ago in terms of the president s involvement, and what did he know, look, he has not spoken out publicly on this other than one time last month at a news conference in manila. traveling in asia. do you have any reaction to this outrageous situation in phoenix? that was the beginning of the story. the president to his credit stood up and said, look, we are not going to let this happen. we have put a lot of money, you know, to help veterans, et cetera, et cetera. the problem for him, of course, politically, as you say there may be criminal wrongdoing that others will deal with as commander and chief, when the president stands up and says i m going to make sure there is money there i m going to make sure the veterans are taken care of. if they are not, that puts a lot of pressure on him. this is a lot different than say the benghazi investigation which has become partisan lines drawn out there. easy for the white house to say this is just republicans going after him. in the case of the veterans affairs story here. you have democrats at this hearing today expressing about as much outrage as you just heard from john mccain, greta. you know though, ed, and i know you don t want to argue with me. i think they are all up to their eyeballs in. this they all have a job to monitor. this to make sure that they have got oversight. not after site. democrats, republicans. i don t know what what s worse for the president to say that he didn t know or that he did know and nothing happened and they did nothing? i don t know which is worse. let me ask you a fact question. tomorrow, i assume this is going to be something that s going to be discussed at the press briefing? there is no doubt about it, jay carney is going to get a lot of questions about it, as you said. what did the president know? in fairness, the president doesn t run the phoenix office of v.a. he has a lot of other things to deal with. but, when he he makes these dramatic statements, when jay carney goes to the podium and says our commitment to veterans is strong. they have to make sure they live up to it they know that and that s why this thing has legs right now. indeed. comment off-the-record, nobody in washington ever knows anything about anything. nobody ever has responsibility. he does the hands on running but apparently nobody does. at least not he very well at all. ed, thank you. good to see you, greta. records show the agency has spent almost $500 million on office furniture under the obama administration. that s right. president obama increasing the v.a. budget each year since he took office and 489 million is spent to upgrade conference rooms, buy drapes and buy new furniture. joining us our political panel rick klein, david and washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york. rick, i m sure he didn t increase this budget because he wanted to make sure that the veterans got, you know, got the they got more furniture. i m sure that s not why the president did it it no one minding the shop. looks bad in the context of what we are talking about right now. veterans dying when waiting for the service is. see internal improvements be where the resources are being directed it does not look good for anyone involved. the reason the budget has been going up is because we have more veterans returning from the wars. this is not a surprise. we need more people to stand in line and not get services? we didn t have enough. i m being sarcastic. we have known about this for more than a decade since 9/11 we have had a big increase in the number of men and women who are serving. have more people come back with more issues. that s why the budgets are going up. when the president puts in budget requests. he thinks is he is getting the resources he needs. clearly it s not going the right places. david? i still think it has to do with personnel issues. i know you were talking to ed about if the president directly responsible? i know. but the buck stops some place. the buck stops some place. you know these are huge. he is going to know what s going on in phoenix or north carolina. but, you know, with what just went on with siebe and the healthcare rollout. now you have got this going on in the v.a. with shinseki. there is a question you could ask about personal decisions. is he putting smart people around him in the room to direct these cabinet make sure hands on i think this goes off the outrage scale. san wham new office furniture. v.a. in los angeles spent 108 million. and shoveling. secretary shinseki appears again. in the context of terrible suffering in the v.a. scandal. asking him about this. he is not doing his job. i don t care if it s a tough job. i don t care if it s a big place. don t take the job. i mean, let all these veterans die standing in line and spending all that money on curtains. i mean, it s ridiculous. national security susan rice is talking about benghazi again. this time she seems to brush off a question about whether the select committee will find any new evidence. since you brought up benghazi. [ laughter ] you are too smart for that. [ laughter ] go on. what more is there that the administration has done or said that we are not aware of right now? dang if i know. so is the white house taking the benghazi investigation seriously? it sure doesn t sound like it and of course those women were laugh not guilty room too. remember what former national security spokesperson tommy veiter told bret baier will the talking points controversy. did you also change attacks to demonstrations in the talking points? maybe. i don t really remember. you don t remember? dude, this is like two years ago. we are still talking about the most mundane process. dude, we are talking. we are talking about the process of editing talking points. byron, you have got him saying dude, this is the guy sitting in the situation that night dude two years ago. susan rice saying dang if i know. you have got women in the room laughing. meanwhile we have four dead at benghazi. the susan rice thing was just jaw-dropping. incredibly dismissive. you have to remember this investigation is about a lot more than talking points. even though the talking points are a part of it there are serious questions about the terrible state. terrible lack of preparation. state department and the pentagon for any sort of attack generally in libya and certainly on the anniversary of the september 11th attacks. the members of the committee do not believe they know everything about this. they believe that the state department report kind of built a fire wall around secretary of state hillary clinton. and they want to know more. this kind of dismissive answer from susan rice is not going to sit well with them. it seesmtion so insensitive and dude two years ago and dang if i know. i mean four people are dead. have a little more seriousness and purpose. i would think so i m scandalized by it. it has a lot to do with tone veiter may not remember. he may not know. see from the white house and democrats. toe don t want to legitimize the investigation. it is a fact tens of thousands of records out there. 25,000 documents she said but the problem she has to it compete with is they may have released. we used to do in law all the time. dump everything in the world on the other side. try to drown them. the one email they didn t get was ben rhodes. reasonable to be suspicious and a lot more. the lawyers have not served the white house aides well in this fight by trickling this stuff out. two clips you just said are going to be compiled into a nice tidy 20162016. dude part and susan rice laughing interesting to note. cia director john brennan today was asked in an interview about whether it was, he thought it was a terrorist attack. and he still he was very careful in his wording and said it was an assault. we didn t know. so even today, white house is very careful on how they characterize those events. at least while he is doing that, is he doing it seriously and not making a dang and a dude. anyway, panel, stay with us. straight ahead, casey kasem is found. so where in the world was the famous dj and what is next for him? all the latest coming up? first, we are following breaking news out-of-control wildfires scorching thousands of akers in california. thousands of people forced to run from their homes. a live update from california next. when it comes to good nutrition.i m no expert. that would be my daughter hi dad. she s a dietitian. and back when i wasn t eating right, she got me drinking boost. it s got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

at this point our investigators continue to follow up on several leads. there is nothing at this time though that points to one direction over the other. when you have santa ana winds though, when you have conditions this dry. it doesn t take much for any open flame, any simple spark to quickly ignite into wildfire with the santa ana winds blowing so heavily, those fires quickly grow out-of-control like they have the past couple days. we continue to aggressively fight these fires. not only on the ground with bulldozers. also in the air helicopters and air tankers doing everything they can can to keep this fire away from the more urban areas. the subdivisions that it continues at this hour to threaten. i should have asked you first, any firefighters injured? that should have been my first question to you. unfortunately we have had several minor injuries. it s a good thing at this point they are minor. these are very dangerous conditions for our firefighters to face. these are conditions we would often experience in the late fall months. santa ana winds are nothing new to this region. but to have these type of conditions so early in the year. these dangerous situations. dangerous conditions so early is what is so unprecedented. so at this point there have been several firefighters that have been injured. thank goodness though at this point only minor. sir, thank you very much for joining us. thank you. and we re continuing to monitor this dangerous situation. these wildfires and we will bring you another live report in a few minutes. right now casey kasem, he has been found. the legendary d.j. turning up in washington state hours after his family filed missing persons report. sheriff s department finding kasem. where was he? kit sap county deputy joins us. good evening, sir. good evening, ma am. how did you find him? welfare check for a person who continued out to be mr. casey kasem. adult services in california. adult protective services department state of washington came to our agency. we were provided an address where state adult protective services in california thought mr. casey kasem would be located as the. was this a friend of the family? yes, ma am. these turn out to be a long term family friends. this is a private residence. sheriff deputies responded there 15 minutes of getting this. we made contact with the homeowners, we were introduced to mr. casey kasem and his wife and others who were in the house. we ascertained his health and welfare. once we ve finished we spent 45 minutes there once we were finished we reported back through the chain of command to adult protective services in california dollars did he he want to be back in california. he was alert. he was awake. he was sitting up. he was cogging any isn t a of our presence there and he seemed to understand the situation. his wife, who is his primary caretaker had medications present with her. and she explained what the medications were for and how they were administered. there was no indication whatsoever that he was being held against his will or that he was in any kind of jeopardy. so, once we completed our assessment of the situation. we determined that his welfare was found. he was fine. and our job was done. we cleared the scene and reported back to california. now, the daughter in california is a conservator. is there any indication there is going to be a problem? is she going to come get him or anything like that? this problem sort of been put to rest? as far as we re concerned, we re done. this is a civil matter. internal to those parties who are in concerning his whereabouts, his location and his primary healthcare provider and other issues. but as far as a law enforcement agency is concerned, we went at the request of state of california. we made the welfare check. we reported back and we re done. and it sounds like you did the perfect job. anyway. deputy, thank you, sir. yes, ma am, thank you. geographic. and casey kasem s children saying they are grateful to police finding their daughter. and carrie saying we are one step closing to bringing him home. the new york times executive editor abrahamson latest victim of war on women?

this is a fox news alert. wildfires raging out of control in southern california. threatening entire neighborhoods. will carr live in san marcos, california. hi, greta, firefighters had hoped that the winds would stay calm this afternoon. but the truth is the conditions were ripe for this fire to continue to jump around. there is low humidity. high temperatures, been about 98, 99 degrees this afternoon. and, of course, you had the drought conditions that are here in california. so, around 3:00 eastern this afternoon. the fires started being pushed around by the winds. they picked up and all of a sudden things got out of control. the fire started racing towards homes. more evacuations were issued. hot spots started popping up. in fact, just a short time ago, another fire just started at camp pendleton, a hot spot burning an apartment complex and carlsbad about 35 miles north of downtown, san diego. the biggest threat right now is the cocos fire here in san marcos. it it s about 5% contained. thousands of people evacuated from this area. authorities are trying to figure out what caused that fire and all of the other fires that broke out yesterday. they say that they are looking into the possibility of arson but they are also quick to point out that that is just one thing that they are looking into and that they don t have any facts to actually back that up at this point. and, greta, we can tell that you throughout tonight and into the morning, these firefighters will be on the ground and using air assets doing everything that they can to try to protect these communities, protect these homes and allow all these residents who are evacuated to return home safely. will, those pictures are just unbelievable. looking at those horrible pictures those flames. actually we are going to go to a press conference in california. stand by. there is a press conference right now. nearly $600 million additionally this year from last year. this is going to be a long-season. it s important that we always keep public safety in mind. and do not forget to thank our heroes, the firefighters, cal fire police and first responders, thank you. next supervisor difn jacobs. thank you very much as a native san diego resident, i have never seen the santa ana winds, also called devil winds in the month of may which underscores the fact that of the san diego county region, we have year around fire risk. and a the county of san diego the fire has invested over $285 million in being better prepared for fire protection services. part of that effort is the formation in 2008 of the san diego county fire authority. we contract with cal fire in that earth ever effort, today unlike 2003. paid professionals from cal fire and our reserves we have a total of about 900 boots on the ground so the county fire authority, partnering with cal fire has become a stronger partner in this regional effort to fight fires. my heart goes out to those who have suffered. will any protection on the next day or so. heat and wind terrible weather report for you. well, if there is any good news actually, tomorrow the weather is supposed to be a little bit better. the winds aren t supposed to be bad not supposed to be low humidity in the area. today was supposed to be better than the day before things got pretty crazy this afternoon. obviously they will be keeping a close eye on everything while they continue to try to get some kind of containment on these fires of course stay on top of breaking news for you bring you updates as we have them. there is stunning news at the new york times. executive editor jill abrahamson fired. fired after complaining she was paid less than male predecessor. the new york times denying. that is abrahamson a victim of the war on women? getting a different pay? our political panel is back. byron? there is question about what the pay was and how different it was. jill abrahamson has not spoken publicly. clearly had friends and associates say things to the press that she discovered she was paid less as editor than predecessor and paid less than keller was when she managing editor. the times came out and said no, it s not true, her pay was not substantially less and last year she earned more than keller last we re year. we don t know the facts on this story looks like a lot of controversy in that news organization. i don t know what s behind the scene last book editorial board said they essentially wanted the benghazi investigation shut down they thought it was silly, my paraphrased words secretive one she has covered in decades. tension between her and the ed toward board. also go back and look. there are reports coming out over a year ago that there were tensions within the newsroom about her demeanor, some of her relationships with the top editors and some reporters. she did have a bunch of female reporters come out and say today that she was a role model to them but there is definitely tension in the newsroom. she was going to hire a second managing editor. that would have threatened somebody else s position. she rubbed some people definitely the wrong way details of that that go back. rick, best question of the night. instagram picture jill abrahamson her daughter has put on instagram. shows her new york times tattooed. there it is. are you going to have abc news tattooed on you. permanent ink. i don t think anyone is going to get a tattoo of a news organization after this happened. byron is right. the next thing she says i assume won t be an instagram photo. she thinks she was targeted because of pay iniquities because of pay gap for women. all got our eyes on the new york times see what s going on there. gentlemen, thank you. united states court of appeals declaring parts of wisconsin campaign finance law unconstitutional. that is big news tonight for wisconsin governor scott walker. the wisconsin reporters matt kitell joins us. matt, why is that big news for the governor of the i should say great state of wisconsin? indeed the great state of wisconsin. well, we are seeing a number of things happening here campaign finance laws in the state of wisconsin have been seriously questioned by the circuit, not just questioned but noted as unconstitutional dark money, concepts dogging walker throughout. what we keep seeing here is no sign of illegal campaign finance operations there has been john dough investigation to see if there are any sort of shenanigans by governor walker with this ruling in a civil matter about the wisconsin campaign law. does that somehow help governor walker. unconstitutional are those the very laws that governor walker is being investigated for for allegedly violating? absolutely sources on the ground here and talked to a former federal election commission source who told me today secretive probe going on targeting conservatives for the last three years now. longer if you take a look back at the targeting of scott walker s former aides and assistants when he was the milwaukee county executive director. this really does change the i do mick on the ground. we will see how that plays out in a civil rights lawsuit that s been filed against the prosecutors in that john dough investigation. thank you, matt. and there is growing outrage around the world tonight after sudan sentence as 27-year-old pregnant woman execution. her crime?

this is barbaric. no other way to describe it the crime that she is principally accused of is hypocrisy. that is say leaving islam and refusing to come back in measure we call switching religions freedom of religion. it demonstrates the risk when sharia law is implemented to the fullest extent. this relates directly to boko haram in nigeria where they focused their activities against christian missionary activities which is a central tenet of most christian denominations. this is a mark of the clash of civilizations. and i have been to it sudan and i have blogged many times on gretawire that president breashear of sudan is as evil as can be. bombing children. there is is a picture with reverend franklin graham in south sudan. but bombing children. this is the most evil place and he is the most evil person. and now we see this. well, and he sheltered usama bin laden. and there is clear evidence that sudan has been a base for other international terrorists. so, whether the regime in car tomb is itself a terrorist, i think it clearly is. or whether it is affiliated directly with some of these other terrorist activities, is indicative of this wave of radical islamism that we re seeing all across north after infantry capped at middle east. what a serious problem it is and why the united states and others need to take a more comprehensive view. these are not isolated incidents. what happens in sudan, what happens in libya. what happens in nigeria, this is part of a larger pattern. and so far we haven t heard the president speak to it. ambassador, always nice to he see you, sir. thank you. and a 34-year-old woman pose as a 16-year-old high school sophomore?

she posed as a 16-year-old why? we don t really know why. i think maybe some of us have wondered what it would be like to go back to high school. as an adult. she did just that she has been at a christian school here in long view, texas for almost a full school year. it s even stranger because the high school only or the school only has about 20 students so it s a small community. very tight nit and still able to fool all these people. i spoke with the principal today who said he is still very convinced by her act. more evidence from the police to prove that she is not actually 15 or 16 years old. i also visited the home here in long view where she was staying. she spoke with somebody he worked with at mcdonald s and asked if she could live with her. that s where she has been living for about a year. at this home there were her homework was everywhere. school projects. drawing. it looked just like a regular teenager s room. she did almost get away with this until last week she started talking to a nonprofit organization in dallas. i think she was probably trying to play her games there some of the things she was saying did background checks and realized this stuff wasn t checking out. she told her current guardian tamika who maybe started realizing that this girl charity wasn t who she was. she ended up calling police police. a fake i.d. she was arrested on monday and monday and she is now. for the record, go back to college not high school. thank you. now to former nfl star aaron hernandez former new england patriots tight end now charged with two more murders. fox news correspondent molly line is live in boston. molly?

tonight on crossfire. welcome to crossfire. i am paul begala on the left. i m s.e. cupp on the right. guests with different opinions of hillary clinton. her new book comes out tomorrow and starting a high-profile campaign swing. i minean, promotional tour. she s getting lost in translation. for one, she doesn t speak progressive. just ask one. for another, she doesn t speak millennial which she learned the hard way in 2008. as you clearly see in her interview with abc s diane sawyer, unlike her husband, she hasn t figured out how to speak regular person. we came out of the white house not only dead broke, but in debt. we had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for chelsea s education. you know, it was not easy. we had to make double the money because of obviously taxes and then pay off the debts and get us houses and take care of family members. dead broke. get us houses. plural. as in these houses in two of the most expensive neighborhoods you can find. so the two most recognizable politicians in america for two decades couldn t budget their money the way americans have to? paul, even you have to admit, this one is not going to go over well in our land. we only found the only millionaires in america who the republicans don t like. come on. in fact, she understates when she says dead broke, they were $12 million in debt for legal bills, from ken starr and the right ring machine that tried to drive them into bankruptcy. thank god we live in a country where they can thrive. hillary had an $8 billion book advance before she even left the white house. you can t budget the mortgage on that, come on. worth every penny. in the crossfire, tracy, first, who advises the ready for hillary pac, and tim miller, - co-author of the new perfectly timed anti-clinton e-book cal d cleverly failed choices. i ve known hillary now 23 years. i love her. i want her to run for president. i deeply hope she does. you should also know i advise priorities usa action which is a superpac that helped re-elect president obama and i dearly hope will elect president hilla hillary. now with that disclosure set, mr. miller, first welcome. thank you for coming. thanks for having us, paul. i hear this canard from my friends on the right, particularly your organization. hillary hasn t done anything as secretary of state, not an important accomplishment. let me give you the top ten. the toughest sanctions in our generation on iran. cease-fire. she backed the mission we ll get to this. backed the mission to kill osama bin laden. i go on and on and on. i hope we cover all ten of these then maybe we ll do a special edition to cover ten more. let me start with number 3. which is the cease-fire in gaza. hamas terrorists were bombing israel. shooting rockets into israel. hillary clinton stepped in and negotiated a cease-fire. now, i think, of course, good for america, good for israel, good for peace. more importantly, here s what the prime minister of israel says about my friend, hillary. take a look. i just had the opportunity to work with her to achieve a cease-fire between israel and hamas. hillary clinton is a strong and determined leader. she s both principled and pragmat pragmatic. knows how to get the job done. i m sure that s going to be in your book. i haven t had time to read your e-book yet. the prime minister of israel. tell me you know more about israel s security than prime minister netanyahu. i m certainly not going to do that, paul. i will tell you when it comes to israel, on the campaign trail in 2008, hillary promised she was going to support an undivided jerusalem. then she goes to the state department. what does she do? she tries to support negotiations where she points fingers at israel, say israel is the problem. and says in order to come to a negotiation, we need to not have a undivided jerusalem. also on the iran sanctions which was the top thing on your list, when congress tried to past the toughest iran sanctions that brought iran to the table, that got us to this deal, hillary clinton and the state department were over in the senate talking to your buddy, bob menendez saying don t pass these, these are too harsh, these are too harsh. nonsense. bob menendez she got the russian, chinese, french, to sign on to the sanctions that delivered the nicolas sarkozy said it was toothless. to the table. i think it s a little early to say how those sanctions have worked out yet, but tracy, i m really glad that paul brought up israel because i ve read the chapter in her book on israel and let me tell you, there is a doozy in there. let me just read. she writes of her first visit to israel i got my first glimpse of life under occupation for palestinians who were denied the dignity and self-determination that americans take for granted. now, i m sure i don t have to remind anyone at this table contra chris christie had to apologize for using similar language. is hillary clinton going to apologize to israel for using that same language? i hope chris christie is going to write a book. that s the one i should read. let me first say, you quoted from the book and i think tim spent all weekend reading it. i haven t read it yet. it s not out. the answer i will give you is about a bigger issue when it comes to hillary clinton s diplomatic agenda. and that is the way that she has expanded the notion of diplomacy in the state department to include an incredibly important set of issues which have to do with women and girls. tracy, let me just stop you before you education and health. don t answer my question. let s take for granted that the quote i read is actually in the book. does she owe israel an apology for using the same language that chris christie used then had to apologize to pro-israel voters and pro-israel groups? hillary clinton is going to stand by the words in her book. she is not going to apologize for something she need not apologize for. she believes she will be making that point as she, herself, should. so then you think that she believes the palestinian territory is occupied? she s not going to apologize for that and she asserted that on purpose? i m sure that when we all actually read the book and listen to her give these interviews, her words will stand for themselves. she said it twice in the book. yeah, she said it, but i ll take your word for it that she s unapologetic. i m unapologetically pro-israel and hillary is very, very strong on this. if that s the tree you want to bark up, i wish you luck. let s move on to another hillary accomplishment which is i think strategically very, very important. the pivot to asia. particularly a couple of things, first off, she was the one in the united states, but she was our secretary of state stood up against chinese expansionism in the south china sea. vietnam. old enemy of america. hillary sided with the vietnamese, helped back off the chinese. she in beijing freed the dissident civil rights activist and lawyer chen guan dang. were those bad things or can you at least admit certainly in asia she s helped strengthen america, opening up to burma, checking chinese territorial expansionism, standing for human rights. i think she worked with mitch mcconnell on efforts in burma. i think obviously she tried to at least give lip service and make some progress in the pivot to asia. here s the thing, paul. what are the tangible results she s going to talk about? i mean, you have this list of ten things you ve talked about. first thing on your list is something she opposed. not true. i m not going to let you get away with that. she is the reason we have sanctions on iran. now we re talking rhetorical. she freed that dissident. should we give him back? should we give him back? no, i don t think so. can you say that was a good thing? sure, but this is yes! two do you think voters are going to go to the polls they will go to the polls about the pivot to asia represents her understanding of workers and what the asian economy specifically in china means for the american economy. if that is something she s been unapologetic about and was also forward thinking with the very pivot that professor begala is talking about. but, again, none of these things when you look at the big issues that faced her, the arab spring, when you look at what happened in iran asia s not a big issue? the green movement, syria, russia, libya, overthrowing gadhafi. where are these tangible results that she s going to take to voters? saying i pivoted to asia does not count. we have to take a quick break. we can get through all those specifics, believe me. i have a long list. i want to point something out as a political strategist is this. my republican friends are looking at the prospect of a hillary campaign and have plan a and a plan b. i ll let you know their secret strategy next. first, this question. how long did hillary clinton s first memoir, living history spend on the new york times bestseller list? was it 12 weeks? 34 weeks? or 55 weeks? we ll have the answer when we return. are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world. but systems policed by hp s cyber security team are constantly monitored for threats. outside and in. that s why hp reports and helps neutralize more intrusions than anyone. in the world. if hp security solutions can help keep the world s largest organizations safe, they can keep yours safe, too. make it matter.

let s talk about two of the other questions that happened in that interview. isn t mitch mcconnell you can get to your shots. you have a whole book attacking hillary. isn t it stupid and sexist for mitch mcconnell by the way, again, who s six years older than hillary to be raising these kind of snide comments? i certainly think there are lots more credible way you can attack hillary clinton and if you look at the interview she did with diane sawyer, only seen two clips. one of them, she talked about how she struggled so much to pay the mortgage when getting an $8 million advance and her husband was selling access to himself and the white house to the highest bidder not true. it was driven. $12 million in the camp by ken starr and right wing attack. worth $1 million to $2 million. what is this, russia? we re not allowed to get rich anymore? they haven t developed a widget. they sold themselves. here s another we re going to talk numbers. 40% of the speeches that hillary clinton is giving are for free. it s for charitable causes. she is raising money. she is out there. she can get paid over $1 million for excellent causes. she s a woman of the people. tracy, now, we know you are ready for hillary. that s is true. not vimeveryone in the di democratic party is. a recent poll wants other democrats to run against her. here s what former governor of montana said about her. he said you can t be a candidate that shakes down more money on wall street than anybody since i don t know, woodrow wilson, and be a populist. now, he sounds a lot more like today s democrats than hillary does, to me. is he wrong about her? well, governor schweitzer, it s an interesting line for him to go to and isn t the first line he said something like this. what we re talking about when we look biographically, issues involving the inequality. as secretary of state, the notion of inequality for her was a guiding principle in why we needed to stabilize in certain countries, that growing inequalities are actually a grave danger for societies. this is something that has guided her as first lady, as a senator, as the secretary of state. it s been her principle. so inequality, hillary clinton, go back and look at her words to the new america foundation recently i just think this is going to be a tough sell for her. hillary clinton is going to have the closest ties to wall street out of he candidate in either party. she was getting paid $200,000 per speech by the biggest wall street firm. the idea she s going to be able to tap into this elizabeth warren movement is pretty ridiculous and doesn t help when she s lamenting her $100 million as having trouble putting food on the table. if we re interesting in talking about people who dared to make a living and been successful, it s also worth noting that for her, the charitable events that they re doing is just a part of the story. both bill and hillary clinton have given upwards of 10% of their entire income to charity. a figure that so did mitt romney. that absolutely goes beyond mitt romney bought companies and laid the workers off, took their pensions and health benefits. those workers didn t much like him so they made not talking about here s the problem with the theory. it ain t working. let me show you some polls. okay, you guys have been on this now banging hillary for 20 years and especially the last two. not you personally, but the right. here s where she stands according to the abc news/ washington post poll. 59% approve of the job she has done as secretary of state. 67% say she s a strong leader. look at this. 6 o% say she s honest. if you got her down so if you ve got her down to 59% after only 20 years, you ll get her down to zero in 200 more. you need a new strategy. hillary polls the worst when she s in the middle of a campaign, when there s a partisan fight going on, because she doesn t wear well. she didn t in 2008. who polls better in the middle of the campaign? i was on your website today, and i noticed all the amazing merchandise you guys have for sale. those are water bottles, there s a dog collar, there s a hillary clinton cell phone case. aren t you afraid all this stuff will turn off average american voters, who are concerned that hillary is seen more as a brand and less as an actual problem solver, who s down in the gritty dirt trying to solve the real problems of the american people? the supply and demand issue is a interesting one with ready for hillary. they can t keep the merchandise in stock. there is a clambering by her supporters growing every day. the deficit isn t with her admirers, it s with average americans the idea of hillary as a brand is certainly been an exciting one that people for her supporters, tracy. there s ready for hillary bus that s going to be going around the country that s what i m talking about. that branding of hillary did not turn on enough voters in the democratic primary. i m glad that you re giving me the opportunity to say something that i have said many times. if there was an inevitability about hillary clinton, ready for hillary would not exist and i don t know how much more plainly to make that case, so every time that word comes up, that is going to be my answer. i think this whole notion of my party of inevitability is damaging. jim messina the answer to it is, when you right wingers attack her, it boosts her. this talented woman is being attacked. it s great for hillary. stay here. we want you at home to weigh in. was hillary clinton an effective secretary of state? we ll have the results after the break, also the outrages of the day. i m outraged because of some narrow-minded music fans taking the fun out of rock and roll. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you ll experience reliable uptime for the network and services you depend on. multi-layered security solutions keep your information safe, and secure. and responsive dedicated support meets your needs, and eases your mind. centurylink. your link to what s next. that would be my daughter hi dad. she s a dietitian. and back when i wasn t eating right, she got me drinking boost. it s got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.
