i m not familiar with that part of the story. thank you for joining us today. we ve got a very, very busy day. it s just like monday all over again because of the weather. thanks for being with us this morning. an extreme weather alert. a second wave of killer storms taking aim in the south. we ve got to get out! let s go! at least 11 deaths reported across !51ñ mississippi, tennessee this morning. homes ripped to shreds leaving countless people homeless. the account of the devastation is staggering. maria molina is live on the ground in tupelo, mississippi. maria, tell us what you see there. reporter: good to hear from you. 11 people were killed overnight in alabama, tennessee and mississippi. that brings the total from the past two days of this multiday severe weather outbreak to 28. 28 people killed by these killer storms. here in tupelo, the damage is extensive. as you can see behind me, what used to be a gas station almost unrecognizable. just a pile of rubble and twisted metal. across tupelo we ve seen car windows smashed, a lot of power lines down. we ve also seen roofs torn off buildings. when weç arrived last night at about 11 p.m. we could smell the strong smell of a gas leak. we spoke to the mayor about that. take a listen. the gas lines are the major concern of the storm damage that has released natural gas lines through the neighborhood. crews have been working nonstop all night long. they have made progress. i don t know that they re 100% completed but they re making progress. the governor of mississippi, phil bryant, arrives at 9 a plt to survey the damage. otherç areas hit hard across mississippi is louisville, mississippi. look at the incredible video storm chasers captured of that tornado. a big tornado! right there. there it is! athens, alabama, roofs torn off buildings there. today the storm system continues to move eastward and we have a risk for severe weather stretching across parts of the southeast up into the midwest. this is a very widespread area and the national weather service issuing a moderate risk again today. we could see more tornadoes that stay on the ground for a longer paoefrd period of time.ç violent storms right here in mississippi and alabama for the second day in a row here. this is the third day of our multiday severe weather outbreak. please stay safe out there. let s head over to you in new york. maria molina live in tupelo, mississippi, where she reported 11 killed overnight in twisters. we continue to focus on what s happening with the weather, and that s the continuing story. we re going to have a next chapter in the saga revolving around the los angeles clippers and their owner and the 81-year-old s controversial comments that leads one to believe that he has a problem with theç african-american race. we also know as we mentioned yesterday, not only is there this one-hour tape out there, there could be a hundred separate tapes of donald sterling, the owner of the clippers, talk nag way which will make him look according to reports even worse than the tapes released already by tmz sports. today at 2:00 eastern time it will be announced. what shall happen to the owner of the clippers after those remarks. people all across the country are waiting. and afterwards they ll take action, whether it s the players deciding not to play or sponsors deciding not to take part. whether it s the fans deciding to stay home. the clippers have 57 wins. most successful season. ever, going into the playoffs with a tie right now, set to play again. decisionç about to made. who is the enemy? the racist comments by their owner as proven by the tapes allegedly out there. everyone s sponsors are backing out. state farm, virgin america said they are supporting the team but not. car max out, doesn t align with their values in terms of what they heard. this is what metaworld peace had to say. you can go into somebody s pockets, you can do all those types of things but in reality do those things hurt? hate versus hate, did it ever help in america? no. iç say he needs to go get help. let him be, go get help and become unracist. he needs help according to the former ron artest known as metta world peace. yesterday we were talking about if it is his voice on those tapes he would be in trouble. apparently attorneys for the nba went over to the girlfriend s attorney s office yesterday, listened to the 15 minutes that have been released so far out of that first hour and said pretty much, yes, that s him. however, the big question is how hard are they going to come down on him? mark cuban, who knows a thing or two about owning a team, said this. there s no excuse for anybody to support racism. there is no place for it in our league. but, you know, it s a very, very, very slippery slope. you know, ifç it s about racism and we re ready to kick people out of the league, okay. then what about homophobia? what about somebody who doesn t like a particular religion? what about somebody who s antisemitic. let us know what you think about that. is it a slippery slope or a path to more acceptance? speaking of a slippery slope our secretary of disaster i mean secretary of state, john kerry, really angered a lot of people when he said behind closed doors to a room fullç of influential world leaders, he said israel is at risk of becoming an apartheid state. we ve got a little clip of it. it s kind of hard to hear but that s what he said. listen. i heard [inaudible] apartheid states [inaudible] a state that destroys he said those remarks and it began to resonate written by the press in israel. now the word has gotten out. you ll hear his reaction. when there was backlash he pointed to the partisan reaction to his comments. how do you explain this tweet from barbara boxer, who is a democrat? israel is the only democracy in the middle east and anyç linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. this backlash is bipartisan. aligning with the time when they spent the weekend and a day remembering the holocaust, it seemed to jab a knife into the heart of those in israel. this is rush limbaugh. who again are the anti seplites? not these guys. these are the tolerant oées, the democrats, john kerry, the leftists. a dangerously absurd thing to be saying. the people that think something like that is going to inspire and fuel and give impetus to? you re talking about painting a target. supposedly israel is our ally. it doesn t look like that from sitting here anymore. it certainly doesn t look like israel is our ally with this bunch. let s get this straight. there would be a piece process continuing if hamas and the palestinian authority didn t combine, and hamas s sole reason for existence is to wipe out israel. they re not talking about recognizing that country. not one person would be criticizing this administration, i don t think, in a time in the middle east where egypt is about to explode again, syria hasç 170,000 dead. there was no call to jam down the throats of both sides this peace agreement that he dreamed up. john kerry stepped in, if he had a do-over he probably wouldn t say it again because barack obama himself in the past has said apart not apply to israel. he did in 2008, i believe. ten minutes after the top of the hour. we ve got a busy day news wise as well. exhibit a. a lot going on. anyone here afraid to fly? if you are, you may not want to watch this story. new overnight, could you imagine looking out your rá yeah, some sparks flying and some flames from this small plane that had just taken off from an airport in australia with 97 people on board. airport officials say it was an engine fire that started shortly after takeoff. the pilot immediately turned that plane around and was able to land it safely. fortunately no one was hurt. the cause of that fire under investigation. the search is on for a father and his two young children who are missing in a national park, and the search is growing more desperate by the hour. j.r. kimbler son and his son and daughter went missing while they were on a hike. they were last heard from on saturday. kimbler texted a friend the main concern is they do not have food or water. wishing them the best. the terror mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center also set his sights on london. fattad who is testifying in another trial said khalid sheikh muhammad pulled out an almanac and krofd out crossed out the twin towersç and started looking for another target. there is a blimp that broke free during a hockey tournament in new brunswick, canada. pilots flying in the area were warned to keep an eye out for it as it can reach about 5,000 feet. now authorities say they have lost track of that blimp. those are your headlines. it s hard to miss. it s a blimp. we have over two and a half hours left to go. straight ahead, media matters, that group has been trying to take down fox news. i don t think it s been successful. it has always been for big labor so why is it against their own workers joining a union?

we re seeing such heartbreak and devastation. reporter:ç absolutely, heartbreak and devastation and now the death toll rising to a total of 28 people killed by a multiday severe weather outbreak. when we arrived here in tupelo, mississippi, last night we could smell the strong smell of a gas leak as well. we spoke to the mayor about 30 minutes ago about that. he said crews have been working all night and making progress on repairing those lines. they have a very difficult task ahead of them due to how extensive the damage is here. behind me you can see what used to be a gas station reduced to a pile of twisted metal and rubble. across the city of tupelo we ve also seen carç windows shattered, cars tossed, roofs blown off buildings and power lines down. one survivor in tupelo who was driving to work when the tornado hit described how powerful the wind was. take a listen. everything was flying. the roofs, metal, woods, everything was like wide. reporter: people are starting to dig through the rubble in tupelo that was once their home. in pearl, mississippi, another hard-hit area by these storms, mobile homes were tossed and destroyed. in kimberly, alabama, a firehouse was blown apart by strong winds. the storm system is a very slow mover. we expect more strong storms today stretching from parts of mississippi includingç right here in tupelo, mississippi, and that stretches farther north into the midwest. the storm prediction center issued a moderate risk. this is an issue for the third day in a row from the storm system that includes parts of mississippi and alabama. those are areas that could see some of those long track tornadoes, meaning tornadoes that stay on the ground for a long period of time. we have all the conditions ripe for severe weather. very humid air mass here. we have very warm temperatures ahead of the storm and a lot of wind sheer. that means these thunderstorms that fire up later this afternoon into this evening could start to rotate and unfortunately produce mosu tornadoes. again, anywhere from parts of the southeast up into the midwest. please when the warnings get issued, seek shelter. do that fast. maria molina live in tupelo, mississippi. they have had days advance notice. keep in mind, they knew this was going to be moving through that area last night and yet 11 people were in the wrong place unfortunately when the tornadoes came through their areas last night. it looks like it could be another rough one today. like maria says, keep an eye on your phone because you can get emergency alerts on your phone. or stay near your television. heather nauert is standing right by the couch with other news. the feds are starting to look for new contractors to run obamacare s website. could a small business run healthcare.gov better than a big government contractor? the administration begins aç wide-ranging search for companies to run the on-line exchange program. the feds say they are particularly interested in hiring small businesses owned by women or disabled veterans. of course this would be a stark contrast to c.g.i. federal, that s the company blamed for the botched obamacare rollout. a new contractor would take over when the current contract expires next year. we ll keep you posted. dozens of students at rutgers university occupy the president s office and are protesting the school s decision to invite condoleezza rice to speak at graduation.ç rutgers is paying her $35,000 for the appearance but some say they are outraged because of her role in the iraq war. so far the university says rice is still invited. you may remember this. two years ago the school paid $32,000 for snooki to offer students these choice words: study hard but party harder. a crazy carjacker caught on video trying to break into a new york city cab as it speeds down the highway. the man clinging on for dear life. finally at a red light he hopped off where he stole another car. the suspect has since been arrested. nice police work there. hackers here s a scary story every new parent wants to hear. hackers can pretty much hear and see just about everything you do by hacking into your child s babyç monitor. this happened to an ohio family. they say they heard the voice of a screaming man who woke them up in the middle of the night. they heard this on the baby monitor that was controlled through their stpafr. through their smart phone. i heard a voice start skraoepg screaming at my daughter. wake up, baby, wake up baby. just screaming at her. you kind of do feel violated in a way. when the man started screaming swear words, the manç unplugged the monitor. again, story every new parent wants to hear because video baby monitors that are remotely controlled are so popular right now. talking about popular, let s go to brian. thank you very much, heather. the exact opposite thing was in the prompter. let me tell you what s going on in sports. with donald sterling dominating the nba headlines it is easy to forget we re in the middle of the playoffs and a great first round. atlanta hawks squared off against indiana pacers. hawks win 107-97. atlanta on the cusp, up three games to 2. dallas mavericks taking on the spurs. in the spurs, tony parkers, game winning 3. spurs tie up that three games a piece.ç miami heat four games to none. wouldn t have happened if michael jordan played instead of owned. lebron james 31 points in the victory. what s the quickest tapout you ve seen in the m.m.a.? try this. it s over. right before it began, the crowd understandablyç upset. callister said he tapped out, the quickest in history. two softball players at florida southern college helped an opposing player around the bases after she tripped and blew out her knee. the injured player s home run may not have counted if she did not round the bases. luckily good sportsmanship prevailed. elisabeth is against this. she said that is not the way you do things in sports. on the radio between nine and noon, jennifer griffin, all live nine to noon on fox news radio. you ve never done that in softball?

say it ain t so. in headlines, free carry-on bags appear to be a thing of the past. frontier airlines will now charge passengers an extra fee to put carry-on bags in the overhead bin. frontier says in exchange for the new fees they re going to be lowering their base fare by an average of 12%. but the overhead bin fee could range from 20 to 50 smackers. not so good. the ceiling collapsing inside a mall in poland, the mall appears to be closed at the time and nobody was around as the roof comes crashing down. look at that right there. investigators believe it fell because of the deteriorating structure. i think they got that part right. brian? has the republican party lost touch with america s working class? and how did it happen, if so? former pennsylvania senator and former presidential candidate rick santorum said yes. he wrote a book called blue collar conservatives, recommitting to an america that works. he gave the g.o.p. a wakeup calling urging the party to reconnect with middle-class america. joining us now is senator rick santorum. why is this the right message for you now? if you look at what would happen in the last few elections, we are losing elections because middle-income americans feel like republicans don t care about them. so they re not turning out to vote. an estimated six million folks who were going to vote for obama, squarely in the middle of america income wise stayed home instead of voting for republicans because we re talking about tax cuts for high income individuals, balancing the budget and cutting government programs, all of which are things that i support. but what if you re in middle income america? where are you talking about me? no one is talking about the 70% of america that don t graduate from college, folks looking for jobs. we need to have an agenda for them. this book lays out an agenda, policies of how we can make lives for average americans better. how much is the perception we give people that decide not to go to college or not to finish college and go learn a skill or trade a bad feeling in our society? that s the otherç thing. we should celebrate all work. the obama administration through obamacare and a bunch of other welfare programs subsidizes people for not working or discouraging people in obamacare s case from working. we need to say work is a positive thing no matter what work you do. the earned income credit is one thing i talk about in the book but there are lots of suggestions of policies that can move us in the right direction of rewarding work, encouraging people no matter what the work is, that it is a positive thing for them. republicans who end up being labeled as a party of white rich guys will not be successful and it is not accurate? i the last convention. i spoke on tuesday night and they had placards saying we built that. one after another remember when obama said you didn t build that? we had one after another come out, small business person saying i built this. but we didn t have workers come out and say i m here because this person standing next to me did build a great job, great employment place for me to work and employer put their arm around the person and say we re a great team. or i worked 9 to 5 for you who put up the capital. we need to be unified. the other side, they re going to divide all the time. we need to unify. senator, you had almost no momentum going in your pickup truck, traveling around. no one took you serious. then you came up on the scene, you almost took the nomination. you have the foundation to run for president again. you re aheadç of where you were four years ago. what are the chances of you getting back in this this? we have patriot voices, 700 leaders signed up, almost 400 chapters, about 150,000 people we communicate with daily. we ve got a strong organization out there. they re excited for this message. the reason we did as well as we did is because we did talk about this message of lower-income folks and middle america having opportunities to rise. you have a lot of santorums to feed. you became a movke mogul? we re excited we re going to be launching a new initiative this week to do a first run of our movies through the churches instead of going directly to theaters, we re going to run because our movies are faith based, our theaters are going to be churches instead of the movie theaters off the cuff. the big question is will you sell raisinets? the churches would have to sell them. we are not going to be the raisinets the idea of putting chocolate around our raisinets. rick santorum, congratulations. the blue collar conservatives: recommitting to an america that works. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. she refused to answerç questions surrounding the i.r.s. tea party scandal. now lois lerner s attorney wants another chance to address the house. we ll tell you why. the clippers owner, comments he made in private now made public. what if this happens to you?

the white jews, there s white jews and blacks. do you understand? are the white jews less than the white jews? 150%. what are your rights when it comes to something you say in private as that was? here to weigh in, fox news legal senior judicial analyst andrew napolitano. judge, what do you think? it is a very complex case. we start with a couple of basics. this was recorded in his home, in theç privacy of his own home. this was done in california. california requires bilateral consent. not only the person recording, but the person speaking. it was an illegal recording, couldn t be used in a court of law against him. that is one side of this. the other side of this is when he bought the l.a. clippers he signed the standard nba owners agreement which requires that he comport his private behavior consistent with the best interest of the team and the nba. so this behavior, although it s extremely private and although the recording was illegally done, is hardly in the best interest of the nba or the clippers. and so he can be punished for it in a way that the government couldn t punish us, the nba can punish him. i think the punishment will be severe because the outcry has been severe. how about how they got the tapes? does that matter? if he doesn t know he wasç taped, would that matter? that would matter in a court of law if these tapes would become part of litigation. if he were to sue the person who taped him, whoever it was, i don t think that matters to the nba. the nba s agreement is secret. i tried to see it. they won t let me. but i have a general idea of what s on it from seeing similar agreements with other professional entities that don t keep them secret. more developing on that. the supreme court set to side on whether or not a cell phone can be takenç upon stopping somebody. searching without a warrant. whenever i m with brian i say brian keep your cell phone with you and the battery with you because i want president obama and the n.s.a. to hear everything we have to say. kidding about that. these guys were drug dealers and the police took their cell phones and accessed them, got in, got the pin number or the password and extracted all kinds of information. on the basis of that information prosecuted them for another charge for which they were arrested. the other charge is serious. murder. convicted of murder. now the supreme court has to decide, when the police stop you for jaywalking or bank robbery and you have a cell phone on you can they take it without a warrant? you ve got to explain to a judge why you think there is evidence of a crime in there. you can t go on a fishing expedition. what if it is time sensitive? the police would know if it s time sensitive because here they were search for whatever they managed to find. thanks, judge. still ahead, secretary of state john kerry warning israel that they could become an apartheid state. his comments are spas[ing bipartisan outrage. should he resign? we report. we report. you decide. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had 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. 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?

this age-old debate that raged on in our control room for years may have been put to rest. we ll explain that straight ahead. thank you for joining us on this tuesday morning cause mornings are better with friends. we re boys 2 men, you re watching fox & friends. we have people in the control room, one producer thinks it is a sport. the other person thinks that s laughable. it s. that s a great debate. they shall remain nameless. unless we decide to name them. good luck on that. first things, we got to get serious. for the last 48 hours, we ve been covering the extreme weather down south and the midwest. it s impacting a loft you watching right now. a second round slammed the south last night, leaving at least 11 people dead this morning. big, big tornado right there! there it is! this as we see incredible new images of devastation. this showing a woman in mississippi hugging her dog after she found it alive near her destroyed home. maria molina has been live on the ground. she s in mississippi. what are you seeing is there? this is so heart breaking. it is so heart break. the sun is starting to rise and we re starting to gets some of the first glimpse of the damage here. it s so extensive and heart break. storm chasers captured the tornado on video and had a very close call with it. oh, god. please, make it pass. please, make it pass. that tornado hit here in tupelo leaving behind extensive damage as you can see. what used to be a gas station reduce to a pile of rubble and twisted metal. we have seen flipped cars, buildings severely damaged, if not completely destroyed. and there are survivors who were work at the time that the tornado hit and had the roof blown off their building. ripped the roof off the buildings over there. we all jumped in the pit. glass flying all around in the pit. to see trees twisted like it is now, i ve never seen anything like that. the governor of mississippi is visiting the area today. other areas hit athens, alabama of the another hard hit state. very severe damage there with homes torn apart. the threat today including yet again alabama and mississippi. the storm prediction center issued a moderate risk there, meaning we could see more of at least violent storms that could produce tornadoes that stay on the ground and cause this teach damage. there is a very widespread area that could see these strong to severe storms today stretching from parts of southeast up into the midwest. have a we to get those warnings today. a tornado warning means there could be a tornado on the ground. and when those are issued, that s when you need to seek shelter. thank you very much. leetle talk about the storm in the nba. sounds like later today in a press conference here in new york city, the nba is going to say what they want to do to donald sterling. apparently yesterday a couple of nba attorneys did authenticate it is his voice on the 15-minutes of the tape that has been released. so all across america, people are talk about is that really is that something i should lose a team for? should he be fined? what are they going to do? meta world peace said the guy has a problem, but he needs help. watch. i mean, you can go in somebody s pockets. you can do all those teach things, but? reality, do those things help? hate versus hate doesn t help. i say he foods to get help. let him get help and become unracist. when he was ron artest, he had that problem and we discussed it live, running into the stands, protecting and beating up on a few fans. he s calmed down a bit. on top of that, one of the things he he won a world kilpatrick with the lakers, he thanked the psychiatrist. sponsors around waiting, car max, mercedes benz have said we re out as long as he is big. the players themselves, jerseys inside out as we saw. the coach rivers is saying, he s not sure if he s coming back. he wouldn t even take a call from donald sterling yesterday. he said no, we re going to let the players do their thing. many wondering if he will lose the team. will sterling maintain ownership? mark cuben said this could be a slippery slope. there is no excuse for anybody to support racism, there is no place for it in our league. but it s a very, very, very slimmery slope. if it s about racism and we re ready to kick people out of the league, okay, then what about homophobia? what about somebody who doesn t like a particular religion? what about somebody who is anti-semitic? mark jackson, the coach of the warriors, says he thinks fans should stay home. maybe he s looking out for his warriors. rivers says north texas we need your sore. perhaps wear your jersey inside out if you support that. meanwhile, he didn t know that he would be widely quoted, but he is our secretary of state. he was at an event behind closed doors with a bunch of world leaders and he used apartheid state, that expression, to describe israel and now the world is horrified fort most part action excepts john kerry who said this. when people think of apartheid, they think of apartheid, black versus white thing. he s suggesting unless they come up with a peace agreements between israel and the palestinians, they ll have that problem. there has been an outpouring of anger toward these stupid comments that mr. kerry made. eric cantor said that the word routinely being dismissed as owe penssive and inaccurate offensive and inaccurate. senator year said we can t have politics rage over this. senator boxer tweeted this. israel is the only democracy in the middle east and any linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. he tried to claire guy when he realized there was a fire storm of the did he it in way which i found odd. he lashed out against partisan political attacks again him, but acknowledged his comments last week to a closed international forum could have been misinterpreted. if that was my apology, my mom would say try again. if he s talk about partisan attack, clearly, to barbara boxer. right. clearly conservative. or maybe thele fact that a number of conservatives said those kind of comments, he s got to go. sad lyrics it is my belief that secretary kerry has proven himself unsuitable for the position he holds and therefore, before any further harm is done to our national security interest and to our critical aligns with the nation of israel, that john kerry should offer president obama his resignation and the president should accept it. i think is a resigning type statement. this is an injury to an ally that will echo because it will be repeated and people will say, i m not saying this. it s the secretary of state of the united states. it is untrue. it s truly something that the man at the very least, an immediate apology. yeah. he needs to go back to saying brilliant things that climate change is causing problems. for the most part, it s been relatively quiet in the area. let us know what you think about those comments and is it enough to cause secretary year to resign? ten minutes after the hour, and heather joins us for overnight developments. good morning. could you imagine this? look out your airplane window and then seeing fire spewing from the engine? look at this. steve, you re right. that s not good. that plane had taken off from the airport in australia with 97 people on board. it start in the engine shortly after takeoff. the file immediately turned that plane around and land safely. no one was hurt. but the cause of that fire is under investigation. the search for a father and his two young missing children in a 27,000 aircraft national park is now growing more desperate. he and his ten-year-old son and six-year-old daughter, you can see them there, went missing in a south carolina park just days ago while they were on a hike east of columbia. they were last heard from on saturday when he texted a friend saying they were lost. the main concern from rescuers now is that he and his children don t have any food or water. the terrain they re searching is described as difficult, with a loft downed trees and swampy water. wishing them the very best. we ll keep you posted. this swimmer gets an escort from dolphins. adam walker was a record-break open water swim, in the middle of a swim often the coast new zealand when a pod of dolphins appeared. ten joined him for an hour of his it s a-hour journey. some people thought that the dolphins were scaring off a shark. he said his swimming with the dolphins was a dream come view for him. those are your headlines: what would you rather have, a dolphin or mermaid? it sounds like the choice is dolphins or sharks. so true. be kind of fun. thank you very much. if you have a better mermaid movie, let us know. it looked perfectly reasonable. you started look hard. i really did. instead of christian mingle, a loft people should go diving. there go. brian, you re fired. coming up, what is causing islamic extremism? if you ask nbc it s president bush. it s his fault, along with tony blair. isn t the legacy of your leadership and that of president bush in part responsible for the reality today? really, david gregory?

now, ladies and gentlemen, time for news by the numbers. first, 30%. that s how many breast cancer survivors are out of work four years after treatment, according to a study. researchers say the long-term effects need to be considered when look at treatment option. next, 600 bucks. that s how much you re going to spend on a wedding by just being a guest. a new survey found wedding spending is up by 75% in the last two years. the 600 bucks includes travel, as well as clothes, accessories and probably cocktails. finally, three years. that s how long william and kate have been married. the royals are celebrating their third anniversary today. the palace is keeping quiet on what the two love birds have planned. they usually opt for something low key. all right. congratulations. that s very nice. whether it s tweeting at the dinner table, snapping selfies or tuning out family time to finish game with words with friends, teen-agers spend more time than ever on social media. you know it. what exactly are they doing there? what should parents be doing? what don t they understand and get? here with some insight is author dana boyd. thank you for joining us today. a lot of parents, when you see at least numbers, 94% of the teens are on facebook. 26% are on twitter. 11% of them are on instagram. so when you know that the vast majority of them are on-line, parents think, i got to northern this. i monitor this. you say? i say back off and the reason i say become off is that what young people are trying to find is a police of their own. over 30 years, we ve done tremendous disservice to young people s freedom. today s teen-agers have no right to roam of the the whole culture of get on your bike and be home by dark is gone. you re not just saying there, you spent years, about eight years studying teen-agers spending time with them. but i guess the concern as a mom, i want to let my kid go anywhere anymore, it s not that world. why wouldn t i check in and monitor their freedom? i don t see it as though i m infringing on their personal space. i need to know they re safe. parts of it is you want to help your child transition to adulthood and that can be rocky. so what that process looks like is to slowly give them freedom and back off when they vital new some particular wait a minute way. it s a process. with colleges, jobs, people are look at their behavior on-line. what do you say? that s true. part of it is helping your child think creditly about what they re going to encounters. in the work force, at college, et cetera. but let them be making the decisions. that s part of it. they need to learn to make decision because whether they re out of your household, they don t have you to turn to. so don t punish them or critique them, understand what s going on? it s a process. sometimes you ll is to critique and punish. that s so the overbearing approach to all of it, then you don t have them learning what they have to to become an independence adult. there was an article that we discussed and found yesterday saying that teens can t decipher between reality and what s going on on-line. you say? i find that so confusion. the best i could find is that the folks were look at cyber bullying. young people don t distinguish between siren bullying and bullying. they think of bullying wholisticcally, whether it s their friends or on-line. i think it s a serious issue. i think we need to concern ourselves with it. but it doesn t mean they can t tell virtual reality from reality. i go by you are what you tweet. that s when i say. thank you. thank you. coming up, hello, texas. governor rick perry s pitch to come to the lone star state is work with a major auto company of the he s going to tell you. and we re going to tell you who is headed south. they shake pom poms and dance to music all to support a team. should cheerleading be a sport? this age-old debate may have just been put to rest. o i ve got a to-do list and five acres of fresh air. top three tools hammer, screwdriver, front loader. happiness is a drive-over mower deck. a john deere dealer can teach tractors to anybody.

you re in her way. i m just trying out different types of transportation today. thank you. just like in the little orange car, go straight. okay. meanwhile, we ve got a live shot with laura ingraham coming up. but right now heather joins us with the news. good morning. got serious news. coming out of georgia, at least six people are hurt after a gunman opened fire at a fed-ex facilities in kennesaw, georgia. we understand that the shooter is still on the loose. this happened around 5:45 a.m. eastern time near cobb county airports, just northwest of atlanta. officials say the injuries as of now range from serious to minor. right now we understand that there are dozens of police on the scene and they are hunting for an active shooter right now. fed-ex, a short while ago issues released this statement, saying issues quote, fed-ex is aware of the situation. our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our team members. first responders and others affected. we ll keep you updated on there story as it develops. as of now, six people have been shot so far and someone is still on the loose, a shooter on the loose. another fox news alert. a second wave of killer storms taking aim at the south. let s go! look at that. the death toll after two days of tornadoes, rising to at least 28 people. you can see the homes ripped to shreds, leaving countless people homeless today. the extent of the devastation is staggering. the family from arkansas hit by a twister for the second time in three years. the family is okay, but their home completely destroyed. the roof is gone, the windows are blown out. the only thing that wasn t touched we hear this time and time again was the cross on the fronts door of their home. we know god was with us. god was taking care of us and he s still with us. indeed. more tornadoes and severe storms are expected through the south again today. we ll keep you posted on that. also new overnight, could you imagine look out your airplane window and seeing a fire spewing from the engine? look at this. pretty scary. that plane had just taken often from the airport in australia with 97 people on board. airport officials say that the fire started in that engine shortly after takeoff. the pilot immediately turned that plane around and was able to land safely. no one was hurt. the cause of that fire is under investigation. a college graduate in michigan tries to celebrate getting his diploma, but he fails pretty miserably. take a look. tried to do a back flip, but ouch. he was a university from davenport graduate. he fell a little short right there. he landed face down in a large crowd of family and friends. cheerleading is a sport. that s for sure. his ego was hurt, but he wasn t hurt too badly. those are your headlines. i don t think that guy could actually make the cheerleading squad. a for efforts. just a fist pump next time. get an air horn. or stick the landing. laura ingraham joins us right now from our nation s capitol. how did you like our open to this hour of the program on the carriage? i m going to get to that. i think he s exempli tying what the job market looks like. fall right on your head. as you graduate. but you guys, next time could you please ride into the actual studio while connected to your ifb? okay? that would make it a you got to get the silksen for the kentucky derby. you need to be on a real racehorse. i love the horse and carriage. de blasio, take that. he took a lot of in a. a lot of those campaign funds. yeah, he s against them. of course. horse with no name. there you go. we re glad you re with us. now we want to hear what you think of john kerry, the disaster that is right now. we heard warning that israel could be apartheid state if they don t enter peace talks. should he resign? he s kind of apologized. he s done the walk back. as soon as it came out of my mouth, i regretted make the comments. we have to remember this comments doesn t exist in a vacuum. especially at the beginning of the administration. there was a loft concern from jewish americans and awful us to support israel that the president really wasn t as i think continuing the relationship with israel as it had been continued and conducted for years. so there was a loft concern, a lot of push back on the settlements, et cetera. so there was a lot of concern early on. so this kind of confirms what a lot of us believe about the president s approach to israel and the middle east peace. it s always israel s fault. and to say that apartheid he said he misspoke. i don t want to make too much of it. but the word is very charged. like the word holocaust. apartheid means economic and social and political disenfranchisement and discrimination institutionalized discrimination. this is our only ally that s a real democracy in the middle east. he knows that. he s going to have to do is he going to resign. he s not going to resign, i don t believe, over one comment. i think the policies are the real problem. and i don t think to brand israel an apartheid state has been very helpful, but he s going to be cleaning this up for some time. i think you re right, because people in his own party are steamed. boxer. yes. senator barbara boxer was on the twitter machine. she says israel is the only democracy in the middle east and any linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. bad politics. yeah. plus, jewish leaders are fuming. yeah. again. the left rushes to demonize people who are either republican or conservatives who misspeak. i don t want to do what they do. i m more concerned about the fact that we have a foreign policy that is essentially nonexistents today. we ve accomplished nothing really in terms of foreign policy. america is weaker. everybody knows it. china is only the move. russia is on the move. and the middle east, all these dreams that we had of an arab spring turned out to crush religious minorities, crush christians, still have the textbooks in muslim countries that say jews are pigs and are defiling the world. so that s all continuing under the obama administration. so we re weaker and that s my real concern. one comment, it s a stupid and horrible comment, but the policies are the problem. i think it s so true because you can t debate a policy if there is no one to debate. we ve taken our hands off the wheel. what do you think, mom? right. that goes right to hillary, too. let s talk about domestic politics and a woman that a lot of people are saying is a liberal s liberal. the senator out of massachusetts, senator elizabeth warren. her book has become a best seller because she s taken on the rich, on the capitalism. she says it s rigged. she says it and said it also on the daley show. that s what s fundamentally changed. it s tough out there. it really is a rigged game and it s set up now over and over. it s probably always been. well, snot not like this. it s set up over and over that the rich get richer and the powerful get more powerful. they ve got all the advantages of concentrated money and concentrated power. wait a minute. she lives in a mansion. she was paid $350,000 to teach one class at harvard. and i believe she s worth north of $10 million. she s a 1%er. yeah. nothing is ever rigged at harvard, right? nothing rigged. it s so easy for a conservative professor to make their way at harvard or conservative students for that matter. they re never discriminated you know something? warren is for the whole equal pay mess. women, equal pay, 70 cents per dollar. she s all for policies attend up hurting the middle class. she s against the keystone pipeline. she believes that the minimum wage should be $22. that s what she said would be equitable. that would be fair in the currents market. so she talks good game and i think a lot of people do believe that money is concentrated in fewer hands today. that s true. fewer banks as well. no doubt about that. there is a populist pitch to be made, but her ideas actually run counter to helping the middle class. she s also for immigration amnesty, which i think, you know my position on this, it will hurt the middle class, hurt black american, hurt single mothers because it will depress wages in the united states to legalize millions upon millions of people who are already here. so i understand the moral case for that. i get it. but it s not going to help the middle class. that s farce. so she s got to change her policies to have any credibility on boo hoa the middle class. speak of stupid. we re going to move the party over to dartmouth college. you know it well. they can t use the word fiesta because it s racist. one of the students filed a complaints there. the editor of the dartmouth review was here with us and this is what he had to say. people were horrified that the reaction from the administration was such that the sensitivity of one group outweighed what was a charitable events put o on by the students body. our concern that the rule of law on dartmouth campus seems to be eroding slowly. the group with the ripest self-esteem gets a pass on these issues. there is no sense of bringing people to the table. it s always if you re offended, the most sensitive, you prevail. you say? i was editor of the dartmouth review a while ago. i was the first woman of the editor review. look, now one person, one young woman said she was offended by the word fiesta and the fact that they served, i don t know, mexican-themed food, that was so offensive to her that she i guess she wrote a letter, made her views known and the fraternity president and the sorority president, oh, of course we re going to cancel. so there is a couple of things going on here. one person can be offended and shut down a charity event. okay? that tells you all you need to know about free speech, free thought, and frankly, a great charity work at dartmouth college of the there is no meaning to the word liberal education if that is the basis for canceling a wonderful event that s been going on for three years. it s my alma mater. i love dartmouth, but the president set this up a couple weeks ago. the president of dartmouth allowed all these kids to take over his office and then a couple of days later, he s like, well, whatever it is you want, we ll basically give in to your views. yeah. that s where we are. thank you for joining us this morning and straightening us out. see you next week. coming up, can the nba team donald sterling s team, that is, can they take that team away from him and can someone go to jail?

there is something called due process in this country. under the league rules, usually if there are financial problems or improprieties or the is insolvency, it could happen of the i don t believe it will happen. i believe we ll see a fine of the we ll see a penalties. some form of suspension today with regard to his activity. of course, he could always decide to appeal that. yes. is donald sterling actually accused of a crime? that s really important. he s not accused of a crime. but he s been treated in some quarters as if he did commit a crime because the statements are so against what we sedan for in this country. but he s not accused of a crime. there is no violation of state or federal law. he s not subject to this points that we re aware of, to any kind of federal or state inquiry, civilly or criminally in termination of his conduct. could i as a player sue him? could i say, i m offended by what you did? that s going to happen. we re going to see a flurry of racial discrimination claims against him and perhaps against other owners. is the tape legal? the tape, if it was made in the state of california and there wasn t the permission of both parties, is illegal. if those facts are true and the person who made it, if the person did not have the permission of all parties on that tape, could be prosecuted in the state of california. it s a two-party consents state, meaning all parties must consents to such a taping. you know what i get from this?

thank you. it is an iconic american ride here in new york city. but if the liberal mayor has his way, horse and carriages may soon be gone. so how far will he go to get rid of them? it might be too far. new reports now say the f.b.i. is investigating the group behind the ban for extortion against de blasio addressic opponents. allegedly they told christine quinn if she didn t support the ban, they d make sure she never got elected. and then they spent a lot of money in anti-quinn ads. so how would shady politics affect the agenda of the horses and the carriage drivers? let s talk to them now. we ve got steven malone and his horse up fronts is tyson and paul mcdade and his horse behind us, here amid the streets of new york city. good morning to beth of you. good morning. first of all, let s get started. this is the first time you ve ever been in the back seat of a cab, right? yes, it is. the last time with two men. and during your years, how many people have guiltien engaged in the back of your cab? over the years, hundreds and hundreds of people. thousands. thousands? thousand. this is one of those iconic new york things, when you come to new york city, you got to go to central park. mayor de blasio has been funded in part by an anti-carriage crowd. why? it s our belief they all want real estate involved on the lower west side of many times where two of our stables reside. it s currentsly in the hudson yards project. and it s very valuable real estate and we re here to say to the american public that they re not for sale. sure. paul, the other side, the antes carriage people say it s lousy on the horse. they don t like doing it. let s replace them with $175,000 electric cars. makes no sense. people are coming for the horse and carriage rides. central park and other groups worked for years and years to rid the park of carriage. people are coming for the horse and carriage ride. that s what they want too see n sure. central park wouldn t allow them to start w. steven, tell us about your personal story, biography of you driving a cab. i started since i was a kid. my dad start here action he came from ireland in 1964, started shoeing horses for one of the local stables and my mom and dad eloped leer from ireland, got married on 13 carriages. he started driving a carriage bus the guy had an extra carriage of the they gave my dad to earn extra pay. that impacted your family for generations. so if de blasio gets his way after taking that campaign money and gets rid of the cabs, the horse drawn carriages what, will it do to you? as a 44-year-old man, i don t know what to do. i m in the prime years my life, but this is all i ve ever done. i was bred to drive it. yeah. we ve been reading about this story in new york city. it s a big local story. it sounds like dirty politics. one guy took a bunch of money from one outfit. in the past, he was for the carriages, before he was against them. he had carriage rides before himself and his wife have been in the carriages. really? yep. and this is actually only really happened in the last couple of years that he s taken this position, since a big bagger, new york class. he s the money man. eats guy with the money. he s the guy with the real estate. he s the guy that wants real estate and wants these two stables specifically at the hudson yards. so he s a big player in this. different people fall in behind him. it looks like dirty politics. well, yeah, definitely. it doesn t smell right, you know what i mean? i understand it completely. all of a sudden we re going okay and then got a flu mayor, boom a new mayor, bottom. it changed out of nowhere. if you would like to help these carriage drivers and horse go to savenyccarriagehorse.com. thank you very much. thank you very much. we ve been sitting here for the last five minutes, we re lucky the horse didn t take off. there is nobody keepings from keeping us from going on. we ve asked him to stay kwai kwai quiet. coming up, she had a pocket knife in her purse when she went to school. now she s been expelled, has zero tolerance gone too far. they shake pom poms and dance to music, all to support a team. should cheerleading be a sport?

sugar, but it didn t get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and it comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn t giving you the control you need. ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it s covered by most health plans. an extreme weather alert. another deadly round of twisters barreling through the south. the death toll rising to 28 people after two days of tornadoes. our own maria molina is live on the ground in tupelo, mississippi. another day of death and destruction, unfortunately. yeah, that s right. more tornadoes impacts another series of states over the overnight hours and earlier in the afternoon hours yesterday. we know that tornadoes touched down in places like mississippi, alabama, and also across the state of tennessee. here the damage is extensive. behind me we have what used to be a strip mall with the roof blown offment there is debris inside of it. we ve seen furniture outside of park lots, metsal scrappings on park lots as well, thrown around. and cars tossed and flipped and windows shattered as well. and also car wind shields shattered. we did speak to someone who survived a tornado. he was in his car when the tornado hit and that car was pushed to the side. his wife and children were at the

overnight and have been make progress on that. other areas that were impacted hard by tornadoes, louisville, mississippi. that county, three people were killed, extensive damage there as well. the threat for more severe weather extending from parts of the southeast up into parts of the midwest. there is a moderate risk issued by the storm prediction center, including parts of eastern mississippi. also parts alabama and that means that the tornadoes that stay on the ground and cause this type of damage are possible yet again today. let s head over to new york. all right. maria

right. for her to score once injured. i love that story. by the way, coming up in 20 minutes, mark levolitch will be our guest. i got to talk about something else. cheerleading, i ve never done it. many have. now the big debate, should it be a sport? right. 34 states so far have acknowledged it is, including the district of columbia, recognized it as a sport. new york set to decide on that today. board of rejudgments is going to say yes or no. it s not a sport. they re going to say yes, it is, because apparently state officials have already recommended it. this has set off, in the history of our station issue for years we have done battle behind the scenes, is it or is it not a sport? dean cain, who is definitely a support of this program we d in on whether or not it s a sport and he said this definitely should happen asap. look at that. support for cheerleading being a sport. this is due to the evolution of the sport and the difficulty of it. the old-fashioned cheerleading was give me an a, give me a c. there is no i in team. what were you spelling? i m not sure. it was a team that never won. but those are just people who showed up and do cheers. but cheerleading is misnamed based on what they re doing today. here is the definition of a sport and tell me if it fits this. sport, an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. right. you got a dwelled medal for stick ago landing. they re tossing people up, the injuries are severe. they have to train long hours to do what they do. i say yes if should be a sport. so that is the definition. what do you think? norris has written in on facebook. last time i checked, they don t have sporting events at sporting event. that s good one. good point. general gee on facebook says there is a huge difference between side line cheering at game and a competitive cheer team. i agree with that. my 17-year-old daughter is a competitive cheerleader who anyone who says is not a sport has never watched. i would say this, the problem is the name. there is cheerleading, which is look, we re winning. we re really winning. and there is the competition that you see on espn and fox sports 1. that s why you should rename it. it should be synchronized acrobatics. there is cheerleading on the side, but synchronized ac about thetics. i wouldn t say synchronized because then everybody has to dot same thing. but they have to do it in a we of you know what? name the sport. joe, your daughter does cheerleading. she does. it s a competition cheer. so you believe it is a sport? it is a sport. okay. my daughter is catching the girls who are flipping in the air. these girls, they work very hard. they get concussion, sprained fingers, ages, the whole nine of the i saw a girl do a flip and get a face plant and get a broken nose. what would be a good flame name? it s competitive cheer. they work very hard. it is a sport. in

there s [inaudible] clarence thomas. unfortunately for him that is not all he had to say. there is a reunion in a galaxy far away. the new star wars has its cast and some of the original faces are making a return. all right. mornings are better with friends.ç it s time for fox & friends. welcome aboard, folks. live from studio e live in midtown manhattan where it is raining. but april showers bring may pneumonia. it s freezing out there. 434 43 degrees. i heard tulips decided not to come out of the earth. it is too cold. joining us is anna kooiman for elisabeth who has taken the day off. that s allowed. we have a live camera with elisabeth. we ll be dipping into her life throughout the day. let s talk about benghazi. judicial watches put in a freedom of information request to find out about memos and e-mails transferred during the time of the benghazi attacks a couple of years ago. it turns out if you ask the right way, if you try hard enough, you eídç up getting those memos and they turn out not redacted. the key is you have to sue them. we ve done a lot of stories on benghazi but this is the one you ve really got to pay attention to. because of this. as it turns out the white house had these documents they turned over to the house oversight committee. about 100 pages? how would you know because so much stuff was blacked out they were useless. judicial watch sued them under the freedom of information act. they went to court and wound up with these unredacted things. who told susan rice to go on the sunday talk shows and say it was a video. now we ve got these unredacted things from ben rhodes, barack obama s assistant and the deputy national security advisor, one of them entitled prep call for susan rice the day before she was on tv. it said the goal was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. it does not mention, according to sharyl atkissson who has written a blog, does not relate to terrorism. the national security council is basically saying the e-mail referring to protests going on around the region in cairo and benghazi, they were talking more about the flavor of theç region. that statement did not address what fox news asked, which is where did you get this information about protesting sparked by the video, the attacks on benghazi on innocent americans, where did you get this information from? snorkelly ayotte was on with grate at that senator kelly ayotte was on with greta last night. we asked where the video reference came from. now we know it came from the white house. this is a dynamic where the president in the election was claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, had al qaeda on theç run. the other thing in this e-mail here that is very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al qaeda has been decimated. blame it on the video, not on the president s strategies. it reads more like a p.r. strategy than it does trying to get the proper intelligence to the american people. remember it was seven weeks before the election, and at that point the talking point for the administration was bin laden is dead and al qaeda is on the run, we ve got them on the heels. what happened there proved that wasn t true. but sharyl attkisson who worked at cbs she resigned because she couldn t do what she wanted to do, specifically benghazi. ben rhodes, the president sç assistant, his brother is president of cbs news. sharyl noted that in her blog. but jason chafits said the government tried to keep the e-mail secret because they initially had it declassified but then they classified, pwhrabgdz it out and sent blacked it out, sent it over and there was nothing there. i would say too they are brothers. lindsey graham said this is the smoking gun that points to the whiteç house s efforts to shape the story of what was going on in benghazi. asked about whether this call actually happened, we haven t had an answer for that either. the subject line of the e-mail in the 4 p.m. prep call with susan rice and it didn t go out to just one or two people. it went out to a dozen of the president s closest confidantes including white house spokesperson jay carney. lindsey graham does say it is the smoking gun. charles krauthammer says it is the smoking document. he also went on to say, charles, he does not believe america will pay enough attention. because of the mainstream media. the main story yesterday has to be what was happening with donald sterling. it was up to the nba commissioner to step up and he did. he banned him for life and will force him to sell the team. then comes out opinions and almost universally people basketball association for taking the proper steps but not everyone was pushing that. one congressman thompson said we ve got to give the players more power and owners more power to oust this guy and have more control over what happens in this league because you need a two-thirds vote to get rid of a guy like donald sterling in this case. meanwhile, you have to wonder if congressman thompson is asking for a double standard when it comes to freedom of speech and saying things that are flatout in my mind offensive. he was on nation of islam radio. this is a democrat congresseao great state of mississippi. he says that clarence thomas, the african-american justice on the u.s. supreme court, is an uncle tom. he says mitch commonly is a a mitch mcconnell is a racist. he says republicans are antiobamacare because he s black. that is not true. any way, here is the congressman from mississippi. mitch mcconnell will have the audacity to [inaudible] but the commander in chief that i don t care what you come up with, we re going to be against it. now, if that s not a racist statement, i don t know what is. there is uncle tom clarence thomas, this man doesn t even like black people. he doesn t likeç being black because every decision where color has something to do with it, he went against it. he also said he worked under three presidents, and they were never treated like this. really? george bush s intellect was slapped around every day. the majority leader called him a loser. bill clinton in particular was impeached. you saw the way bill clinton was treated in many respects. forget the way they re look at now. i don t think any of them had an easy time. he went on to say this antigovernment attitude is completely newç just because we have an african-american president. we did reach out to his office and haven t heard back for a comment. we ve got lots more news to tell you about. once again we turn to heather nauert. got news now to bring you at nine minutes after the hour. we break in with breaking news that came in overnight. prison officials try a new drug cocktail to kill an inmate but the execution is botched. the inmate died more than 43 minutes later of a heart attack. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. the man exploded after the first of three injections and then the execution stopped. some witnesses say the convicted murderer then tried to get up and talk. pretty gruesome description there. witnesses say he looked likeç rambo. a guy with a shotgun came in. he shot the guard in the belly and then he went inside and started shooting. police identified the gunman pwho shot up a fedex warehouse in georgia. he is a 19-year-old, a package handler for the company. etches armed with a knife, molotov cocktails and had bullets strapped to his chest. he shot six people before he turned the gun on himself. three are in critical condition. police not releasing a motive yet. amanda knox and her roommate fought over money before knoxç allegedly n knife, her off with a according to italian court documents that were just unsealed in that case. a court informant claimed convicted knox and her former boyfriend of murdering kirchner. knox was first convicted of murder about five years ago but the verdicts were overturned on appeal in 2011. in january a federal appeals court overturned the conviction. knox now in seattle was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in prison. it is an all-star reunion in a galaxy far away. star wars episode 7 had its cast and there are plenty of familiar faces. harrison ford is back along with mark hamill, and then there is newcomers to the task. oscar isaac, best known for his role inç inside lou ellen days. adam driver, we hear he llen he ll be playing a villain. the highly anticipated sequel hits december 2015. those are your headlines. maybe brian would actually like a movie. i saw one of them, didn t get through it, never saw the rest. probably fighting words for a lot of our viewers. you didn t like gravity either?

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

you got sports? i got to tell you what s happening in the world of sports. the clippers owner donald sterling banned in the afternoon. how would the team play at night? they were greeted with a standing ovation. chris paul said he almost was brought to tears. the clippers played extremely well. they beat the golden state warriorsç 113-103. they take a three game lead in the series. elsewhere, an unbelievable first round, thunder and grizzlies in overtime for the fourth straight game. grizzlies win 100-99, talk about upset, that is exactly what the wizards pulled off. they knocked the chicago bulls out of the playoffs, 75-69. wizards win game five. they advance to the next round. in nascar, we showed you about the fight over the weekend. nascar slapping stiff fines on drivers marcus ambrose and casey meirs for fighting. there s a punch, a swing skh-pl this is not ultimate fighting on fox. this is nascar on fox. ç amprose and mears were fined. mears said we re a couple of guys and passionate about what we do but we re on probation until may 28. can you run a five minute mile?

where a truck slams right into the belly of a plane on the tarmac. we re going to see it inç a little while. you watch. not yet. jeff. hey, scott! this is no time for lollygaggin , lad. the chickweed and the dandelions are wreakin mad havoc! now s the time to send in the scotts turf builder weed & feed, man! it kills weeds while it feeds and strengthens your grass. feed your lawn. feed it!

my boyfriend lives on a farm and i help him with chores. the only reason i got the knife was to help him with chores and i only used it a few times because he has like a lot of knives. that s the only reason i even had it in there because i forgot i threw it in my purse. you had probably had the knife a number of times, but you forgot to take it out of your purse when you went to schoolç that day; right? yes. how did they find it? on tuesday, april 15, they had a dog search and they smelled perfume in my locker and like tanning lotion and they found it in there. then they called me down to the principal s office and wanted to give me suspension. okay. and then you told them that, look, i left it there by accident; right? what else? and i told them it was by accident and i told them like the story that had happened, like that i helped my boyfriend with chores on the farm and iç threw it in my purse that weekend, that last weekend. rick, you go ahead. they only thought i should get a three-day suspension because they knew i was a good kid and never got into trouble. then the school board took a look at it, rick, and decided your daughter should be kicked out of school for the rest of the year. you ve got a problem with this, don t you? i do. to take a good honor student and punish them excessively like this, it does no school for the kid, whether it is my kid or some other kid, it does no for . it just teaches bad things. you know, the zero-tolerance policies are clearly not working and this is a clear-cut case of that. sure. from the picture we re looking at it looks like the blade might beç two, less than three inches long? right. what s interesting about this and you did talk about this, rick, because you have hired an attorney. you want your daughter to go back to school. she needs to get into a college and you don t want this as a black mark on her record. but tell us about one of the kids of one of the school board members who also took to school something classified as a weapon. there was a student that had a lighter that he actually forgot in a bag inside his locker, which is the same situation that whether his parent is a school board member or not should be no different than whether or not he violated the school weapon policy or not. he ended up only getting a three-day suspension for that. he got three days for having what was classified as a weapon and your daughter got kicked out for the rest of the year because as it turns out the school board had a little flexibility when it came to the school board member s child. alyssa, how do you feel about going forward knowing that you made a little mistake, you owned up to it, but now they re killing you? yeah. i don t know. i think it s an excessive punishment like it s not just about me now. it s about everyone else who s gotten an excessive punishment too. i don t know, i just want to fight for everyone else too. rick, it does seem commonsense wise, she s been out of school already, said she was sorry. it was a simple mistake. where s the common sense? there clearly isn t any. for alyssa to make good choices throughout her life and then to make one simple mistake, which it s not really even a mistake. she clearly just forgot that the knife was in her purse, and the whole reason she had it in her purse that day was because she was going to she was trying to get ready for[ @&c @@ prom. that s why she had right. now being she s expelled, she can t even go to prom. keep us posted on what happened out there. rick and alyssa drescher join us today. what do you think about that? we ve got a debate on facebook. you check it out and weigh in as well. hash tag free my sister. coming up, you could be on this rocket space and the travel is going to be cheap or you could be driven around by robots. these are some of the things coming up in the next decade. why the millenials no longer standing by the president they voted for. why?

[ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system. only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. they boosted him to white house victory in 2008 and 2012. now disappointment leaves many of them disillusioned. new study shows their level of trust in president obama has slid to 32% over the last four years. that s 12% drop. only 14% of millenials trust congress and 20% trust the federal government. how does president obama and the government lose the millenial generation? let s ask three of them who all already hold public office. alex morse, the mayor of holly oak, massachusetts. and two other guests. good morning. good morning. representative garcia, we ll start with you. you say this talk of hope and change is simply empty rhetoric. why? well, as you pointsed out, trust in government elected officials dropped among my littlials and the thing is, it s one thing to distrust your elected officials, but this generation and the recent decade, we ve seen that we have reason to expect that our elected officials, particularly our federal officials personified in the president, actively deceiving us, not just distrust. mayor, we ve got a full screen to show. in 2008, the youth vote, president obama had 66%. 2012, 60% of the youth vote. but come time now, they re having a tough time finding jobs out of school, disheartened about obamacare and having to subsidize the he saiderly. how do you think this will affect the mid terms. are they disillusioned by the democratic party? i don t think it s about a party or a person i have really think it s about a process. the same harvard study that was quoted in the national journal article showed that between the first and second term for both president bush and president obama, there were precipitous drop in perception among millenials. i think what they re reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what s turning many of us off. mayor morris, let me ask you, you re an arresteddents obama supporter what about the other issue of student loans that millenials are facing? how is that going to affects midterms? i am a big obama supporter, and we re all about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came in to republican obstructionism in congress and so i think be it stabilizing student interest rates, that s something important to young people. young people wants to get involved not just in politics, but public service. that same article pointed out the volunteerism rate among young people. issues like health care and immigration and gun control, those things need a vote in congress. president obama can t do it alone. the polls also show conservatives millenials are motivated to head to the polls. more fox & friends coming up in a few minutes. thank you for your time, everyone go long, look lean, in this season s most important fashion trend, the long shirt. designed to flatter, with playful hemlines and length for everybody. the new long shirt. visit the shirt boutique, only at chico s and chicos.com. thoughtful combinations, artfully prepared. fancy feast elegant medleys. inspired dishes like primavera, florentine and tuscany. fancy feast. a medley of love, served daily.

you re going to have to stick around because mornings are better with fox & friends. looks like the rid ther there riddler there. hi, this is henry winkler, you re watching fox & friends . the riddler is the only bad guy to wear a unitard. what s his name? frank gorshen? yep. and that was the only thing he did, right? perhaps his best known role. how do you know the penguin wasn t wearing one? i was just informed superman was wearing one. super friends usually do. what did frank gorshen do. he was an impersonator. welcome back to short attention span newscast. anna kooiman is with us today. great to have you. great to be here. we have a bombshell. we have done stories about benghazi but this is really important because despite what the white house told us over the last year or so, it looks like the white house is who misled the country on those talk points. remember siphon rice went out out susan rice said it was because of the internet video. now we know apparently there was a document from the white house, top advisor to the president who made it clear, let s not call this terrorism. let s divert people over to something else. yeah, ben rosen, assistants to the president, deputy national security advisor, he had an e-mail sent out to about a dozen people, including jay carney, but some of the president s closest confidantes, and the subject line said, 4:00 p.m., press call. here were the goals there. one was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure or policy and the other one was essentially to reinforce the president and his administration s strength. so the idea was to try to make this look like it was not a failure of the president s policies, but just, of course, this video. so let me get this straight. now you have a direct link between the spinning of the message, the telling of the story and the white house. now this was done because judicial watch sued for it. originally these documents, i understand, were given up, but there were some redacted that makes no sense. but now you have everybody this was cced to. you have in the title saying prep. this is saturday night before the sunday shows. what does this mean? it means their shows are spinning in the message. the c.i.a. said we never said anything about a video. white house, according to sheryl atkissson, she said, can i just get a picture of who was doing anything during the attacks? she can not get a picture from the white house. she s just trying to get a situation room shot like with the bin laden. out of frustration, what does it mean to the american public? charles krauthammer put it in perspective. we now have the smoking document which is the white house saying we re pushing the video because we don t want to blame it on the failure of our policies, which is what anybody who has looked at this assumed all along. before an election, obama saying al-qaeda is dead, gm is alive. he s running the foreign policy issue on which the whole campaign is based, is one that says he killed bin laden, al-qaeda is on the run. so this undermines the whole narrative, therefore, they have to invents the video. the fact that it was redacted when the documents were asked for and only revealed by a court order is telling you this is a classic cover-up of a cover-up and that is a serious offense. see, he just summed it up so perfectly right there. keep in mind, the house oversight committee asked for these particular e-mail and the white house gave them a bunch of them, but they were somebody took sharpie you and couldn t read anything and it wasn t until judicial watch sued them that they got the clean copies. because of it originally an unclassified document. that they made classified. that anybody could read. when they realized, wait a minute, there is some heat here, let s cross it all out. sheryl atkissson who had been at cbs has a big blog post where she details everything. she said chaffetz tried to keep it secret. lindsey graham said this is clearly a smoking gun. he says this shows political manipulation by the white house after attack. they knew it was a terrorist attack and yet they were pushing the video as we know, to get the president relie detectorred. yeah. you see the goal reads more like a pr strategy than getting the correct intelligence to the american people. meanwhile, four innocent americans lost their lives. let s change the subject a little bit. tim allen was on the tonight show and raised some eyebrows when he talked about the socialist state of california and everyone is like, wow, what is that about? we were talk being that two weeks ago. now in his final episode of his sitcom, he insinuating more unhappiness possibly with the government and its candor. he s a conservative and unlike a lot of shows on television, he actually puts that message out there. here is the finale over on abc last friday night from last man standing, tim allen reminding people. watch. what did i do? that s the new security system. just punch 62262. it spells obama. real funny. having obama protect us from burglars, can t even keep putin out of crimea. someone s got a new benghazi. benghazi is not over yet. he s a conservative. he doesn t just play one on television. yeah. and that s pretty rare in hollywood, right? i remember seeing clint eastwood on hannity saying these folks in hollywood, even if they are conservative, they re closet conservatives for fear of losing work or not being able to find work and being blacklisted there. sure. one of the reasons we highlighted that was because generally the way hollywood operates, the message is not conservative. it s all to the political left. that s why what tim allen did stands out. it s called integrity, something obama doesn t have with this benghazi thing. for that to be in that is interesting. look how more and more outspoken, even seeing him on sitter with getting into some conservative war of words as well. indeed. so it is a very busy morning. about 8 minutes after the top of the hour and heather joins us with a troubling story out of oklahoma. it s really a pretty disturbing story. it s an important one that can affect other states. we begin with this coming in. prison officials try a new cocktail to kill an inmate, but the execution is botched and that inmate died more than 43 minutes later. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. clayton blocket s vein ruptured after the first of three injections and the execution was stopped. some say he tried to get up and talk before he died of a heart developments. i did it. just arrest me. those words coming from 16-year-old christopher plaksin after he stabbed his classmate to death. the 16-year-old has been charged as an adult. authorities in connecticut are still trying to determine if he did it because she refused to go to the prom with him. he faces 60 years behind bars. a horrible story there. an al-qaeda terrorist backed out of an attack because he was scared? he made this confession while he was testifying in the trial of the hook handed hate preacher. he says he didn t go through with his role in richard reid s shoe bombing plot on a flight back in 2001 because he was too afraid. okay. now that george clooney is headed down the aisle, who is the most eligible bachelor? it is prince harry. the 29-year-old and his girlfriend of two years, have just split. sources say harry pulled the plug on the relationship because he found her to be too needy. the two were introduced by sarah ferguson s youngest daughter. anna, he s free. i know you have somebody in your life. should be a nice wedding there. this is why he broke up with her. it was all because he met me at the warrior games in colorado last year. i was just waiting on that. you just can t tell the whole story. these are new briefs. the other thing is we know the strategy that george clooney fell into. playing hard to get. so do not return his calls. i think it s odd that harry s girlfriend was too needy. apparently she wanted to be treated like a princess. what s wrong with that? are you a step princess if you marry the second in command of the royal army? i think you re still a princess. i got to watch shrek again. that s the latest on harry. coming up, more on kerry, secretary of state john kerry, making a major gaffe suggesting our biggest ally could turn into an apartheid state. should the secretary of state quit? the guy who voted against him for the position, senator jim imhoff, he s next. then calling it the wheel of misfortune. the wrong answer that cost a contestants a free vacation. when la quinta.com sends sales rep steve hatfield the ready for you alert, the second his room is ready. you know what he brings? any questions? can i get an a, steve? yes! three a s! he brings his a-game! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com!
secretary of state john kerry trying to back pedal after he was caught on tape saying israel risked turning into an apartheid state. the israelis are furious at that. but this isn t the first time kerry has stepped in the diplomatic mud, shall we say. should we be surprised? oklahoma senator jim inhofe is a ranking member of the senate armed services committee and a member of the senate foreign relations committee, one of the three senators who voted against kerry s confirmation as secretary of state. good morning to you. good morning, steve. what do you think about, first of all, kerry saying this apartheid stuff? he didn t know anybody had a recorder, somebody did. now looks bad. i m not surprised. i m not surprised at all. we made some comments about his lack of, i felt, allegiance at that time to our best friend in the middle east. keep in mind that in israel, the arabs have full citizens rights. they have 10% of them of the kinneset has full rights and to associates that with apartheid is outrageous. but again, i m not surprised. surely. one of the things that was said during the confirmation hearing was that if mr. kerry was selected as secretary of state, we were going to have trouble with israel because our president and then mr. kerry as well, not israel s biggest fans. that s right. they associated that has to be a relationship there. the reason that he was chosen by our president. that s something we were aware of at that time. it actually came out in the hearing. so everyone was aware of it. and at that time, we also had some people quietly objecting the israelis, not any formal group, but they knew what was coming. surely. this shouldn t really surprise anybody. i mean, if you look at john kerry s history, there are a number of insulting gaffes. here is one from 2006 where he insults our troops. if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. if you don t, you get stuck in iraq. yeah, we remember that one. at the time that took place, i was actually over there and i will never forget the response that we got from our troops over there. look, see, this goes back a long time. i can remember way become during the reagan administration when reagan came up with the great idea on f.b.i. knowing some day we would need it and it was kerry who coined the phrase, star wars, you can t hit a bullet with a bullet. so these things have been there for a long time. my objection, i have to say, has been primarily the fact that he s never thought any good ideas come from anywhere except a multi national organization. i m talking about the new stark treaty that he was able to push through, the law treaty turning over 70% of the surface to the united nations, international criminal court. the whole arms trade treaty. do you remember that? sure. that means we would have to call the united nations before we could send a patriot missile to israel. this is the problem i ve had for a long periods of time. and it hasn t changed. you read the quote there. that was a shocking quote. but listen to this quote and this is what syrian president assad, after he killed tens of thousands of people. kerry said he is, quote, an essential player in bringing peace and stabilities to the region. then all this stuff on climate change, he said the climate change can now be considered the world s largest weapon of mass destruction. that s pretty scary. it s interesting you would talk about assad. so he was for assad before he was against assad, which we ve kind of heard that before. now, if people would like more information or read the web site the statement that i made at the time of this confirmation, it s inhofe.senate.gov. you can get a lot more information. senator inhofe, thank you very much. thank you. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. next up, who do americans wants in congress? more republicans or democrats? we ve got the numbers. stick around. we ll explain them all to you. and will life ever be like the jetsons? well, yes. in fact, it s going to be better. a look at the breakthroughs coming in the next ten years for that boy, elroy. woman: this is not exactly what i expected. man: definitely more murdery than the reviews said. captain obvious: this is a creepy room. man: oh hey, captain obvious. captain obvious: you should have used hotels.com. their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there. instead of people who lie on the internet. son: look, a finger. captain: that s unsettling. man: you think? captain: all the time. except when i sleep. which i would not do here. hotels.com would have mentioned the finger. natural energy from tea packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it s what you need for that extra boost! oh and did we mention it s only 50 calories?

talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long- term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. this is the age of taking action. viagra. talk to you doctor. (vo) oh. my. tongue. finally. (announcer) all-new friskies saucesations. a taste experience like no other. in cheesy, creamy, homestyle, or garden sauce. friskies. feed the senses. now your news by the numbers. $121 million that s the latest price tag for repairing and updating an obamacare web site. is that all? yep. 45%. favorability rating for democratic minnesota senator al franken. new poll against four republican challengers, not quite 50. 53%. that s how the percentage of that s how the percentage of voters who would rather see the republicans in control of congress as a counters balance to president obama s policies. that gave james carvelle heart burn. meet george jetson his boy elroy daughter judy y sang along to the theme song? will life ever be like the jetsons? you never know. in the past ten years, americans developed facebook, twitter and the iphone. so what do the next ten years hold? michael moyer is an editor. you say by 2016, we ll have new genes to carry disease. they ll replace the bad with the good? exactly. if you have a defective gene, this may be causing leukemia. they ve cured a little boy who had blindness. they ll put in a new gene into a virus, send it into your body. this kind of gene therapy they hope will cure these terrible diseases. that s good cause that s just two years away. that s great news. now, four years away, in 2018, you say we re going to discover moorers-like planets? we just started discovering them. about two weeks ago we found one in the habitable zone, which means that liquid water and maybe life can exist. they re launching a new satellite in 2018 that s designed explicitly to find earth-like planets. do they have football? we don t know yet. they might have water, but might have football. that will be fantastic. what about ways to get into space? we just had the launch of this great new rocket up to the international space station by this company called space x. what s amazing about this rocket is that the booster part that usually goes up and splashes into the ocean, falls to the bottom, never to be seen again, they were able to redirect that, recontrol that booster and land it. they landed it in the ocean because in case anything went wrong, they didn t want to hurt anyone. but the plan is to have that booster come and literally fly back down and land right next to the launch pad so they can reuse it again. it will be cheaper for to us do it and more economical. they say it may be even 1% of the cost of going to space. that s amazing. ten years from now, robot transportation. how does this benefit us and what is it? well, you look around and you see google self-driving car, the military is working on technology to have short hop self-driving airplanes that will take troops or take equipment from a to b. this sort of technology will go in and get into everyday stuff that we use, our cars to help us avoid accidents. maybe even short hop flights for commuters. this all sounds like buck rogers stuff to some. but some of the things you say won t happen any time soon, unfortunately, no time travel despite what we saw on star trek. right. i m sorry to say, time travel into the past is one of these things that might just violate the laws of physics. and no teleporters either. you hear about teleportation. what they re doing is teleporting these quantum states, actually teleporting a person is a whole different ball of wax. it s something that really, i can t imagine happening not in my lifetime or grandkids lifetime. but somebody is working on it? people are working on all sorts of stuff. because if you invents it, you get rich. tell that to edison. he s not available for comment currently. good job. editor of scientific america. thank you for having me. 26 minutes after the hour. coming up, the law is the first of its kind. what will happen to pregnant women who use drugs?

this is happening in new fund land. it s bluewhale and it washed up. gasses inside have been building up ever since. the town simply doesn t have the resources to remove the 82-foot whale. they re telling people to stay back. pretty gross. yeah. it s a little gross. it is the one thing that wal-mart didn t sell until now. that s car insurance. the retail giant is now teaming up with auto insurance.com to help customers compare plans. they re offering car insurance in eight states. the company offering a the insurance inside some wal-mart stores and on line through the wal-mart web site. the company plans to eventually offer insurance to the entire country. big wigs are all participating. a lot of the companies do health insurance, now adding car insurance to the mix. this wheel of fortune contestants could use a drink after this big slip up. listen to this. i d like to solve the puzzle. losing my shore excursion. no. isn t that when you re supposed to do? well, problem is she was wrong. book my shore excursion is what she months to say. you want to have her on, brian? we have to have her on. that s good idea. now that donald sterling is facing a lifetime ban and banned from the game for now and fined $2.5 million, it was time to get back to basketball. you can imagine the emotion in los angeles as the clippers came out for game five. the crowd gave them the standing ovation. a lot of people holding signs, ripping materialing and a lot of the sponsor high school their signs covered up because he technically still owns the team. they used it as motivation when the game started. the warriors never a shot. they lead the best of seven three games to two. thunder and grizzlies. this might be the best series of them all. grizzlies heading into overtime against oklahoma. grizzlies won by one. they take a three games to two lead. now you talk about a series that s over, let s talk about the washington wizards. they won the series four games to one. they banged up the bulls. they advance to the next round. remember this fight in nascar? now they re slapping fines on ambrose and mears for beating each other up. remember this at richmond. there is some actual shoving going on. there is a punch! a swing! is this thank is not ultimate fighting on fox. this is nascar on fox. because ultimate fighting is don t wants to you pack up like that. ambrose and mears were docked 25 and $15,000 respectively for trading blows following saturday night s race. mears told fox sports, we re couple of guys and passionate about what weigh do and will be on probation until may 28th. what about when fights turn up in the stands in hockey? all right. rangers and flyers brawling it out during the game. rangers fans started taunting them. the flyers fans don t think that s good. they started punching back. no one was laughing. they ll both play game 7 cause the flyers won. that s a quick look at what s happening in sports. people angry in this world. they are. although that video was disturbing issues the one guy beating up the other guy needed to pull up his pants. might have been some plumbers. could have been. brian just detailed how donald sterling, lifetime ban in the nba, also fined $2.5 million. ice going to get squeezed and have to sell the team. we think. they think. exactly. although he could put up a fight. what s interesting is there are a number of democrat congressmen who say that the league needs to go further and in fact, there are a couple of members of the congressional black caucus including congressman benny thompson who is a electricity from mississippi democrat from mississippi. he says the league s response was good, but they should have the power to go further. he wants the league to hold people more accountable. what s interesting is who is holding the congressman accountable for some of the crazy things he said on nation of islam radio. listen to this. this man doesn t even like black people. he doesn t like being black because every decision where color had something to do with it, he witness against it. how offensive is that? justice thomas? can you imagine? he doesn t even like being black? that s a congressman. yeah! that s absolutely insane. calling him an uncle tom and calling mitch mcconnell racist. very often the democrats who say it s the republicans who are racist, but, listen to these comments. this is jaw dropping. he also said that president obama has been treated a lot worse than bush and clinton that he saw up close and personal when bush was called stupid every day of the week, called loser by the majority loser, it s hard to a war monger. bill clinton in particular was impeached. so i don t know, were they treated easily and given a pass? i don t really think so. was nixon given a pass? i think also, he says when states opt out of obamacare, that was racist. sure. antigovernment sentiment is brand-new because we have an african-american president. and republicans, he said, don t like obamacare because the president is black. no, people don t like obamacare because it is more expensive than the old stuff. they got to drive two hours to see a doctor, and a lot of their doctors they didn t get to keep. the term racism is a term you shouldn t throw around. by the way, we did call the congressman s office, asked him if he would like to come on, we vaunts heard from him. coming up, this fiance is pretty steamed. set the date! set the date! when your fiance won t set the date, is that normal or nuts?

well, okay. so more than four years. you re nuts! so the engagement is stretching on and on. it s not normal to say you want to get married and to be with somebody who says, i m not getting married. i won t even set the date. so the bottom line is, what has made you addicted, if you will, to lobbying for commitment from somebody who doesn t want to commit to you? so you got to move on and get married, unless you re using this young lady as a way to not get married and blaming it on her. which we re going to need a deep session with her. let s move on to number two. my mother gets up early every day to watch casa blanca. she has it record on tv, blu-ray and dvd. normal or nuts?

yes, i do. you liked it, don t lie. i had to go see dr. keith ablow in boston to get over it. she s a tv legend. right. but it was a fake kiss. it was a fake tv kiss. so they say. anna kooiman in today for elisabeth hasselbeck who is taking the day off. she ll be back on friday. in the meantime, we ve got a big story. we have told you how many times have you heard why is fox pushing this benghazi story? there is nothing there. you re looking right there at a document that has been released. judicial watch had to go after it because a copy was sent to the house judiciary committee that was so redacted, so blacked out, you couldn t tell anything. now we know right there, according to those documents, that it looks like when asked who exactly told susan rice to go out on the sunday chat shows and say the benghazi was about the video, now we know after mike morell a couple months ago, who was at the c.i.a., said, we didn t give her that information. now we know the information came from the white house. keep in mind, this was seven weeks before president obama s reelection day. and they were doing everything they could to make sure that he looked like he was in control and that osama bin laden was dead and al-qaeda was on the run. that was the mim. that was the narrative they were trying to push. ben rhodes sent an e-mail to a dozen people, some of the president s closest confidantes, jay carney was on the list, and in it, it said prep call, 4:00 p.m. for susan rice. and here is what it said. to underscore this is a goal of what the prep calls a underscore these protests are because of a video and not a broader failure or policy. it was to make it seem like it was nothing that the president was doing wrong in the region. it was all because of this internet video. right. think about it. double whammy for the president. he had a military action in libya, would thank would show chaos resulted and show terrorists are acting against and killing americans and he says al-qaeda is on the up and bin laden is done. he also said let s reinforce the president s strength on challenges. this is saturday night, everybody important in the administration is cced on this. senator kelly ayotte, who has been all over it, she said this about what this all means. we always said r did the video reference come from? now we know it came from the white house. the president is claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, that he had al-qaeda on the run. the other thing in this set of e-mail here that s very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al-qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al-qaeda has been decimated. so that e-mail was from ben rhodes who was the deputy national security advisor and maybe if you re going think, if it s not the white house trying to be political, which is it clearly looks like what, could the white house have been doing? maybe they really believe that it was about the video. keep in mind, though, everybody who was talking to them, the people on the ground in libya, the c.i.a., they were all saying it s terrorism. it was an attack. what is curious, though, is the and so that is ben rhodes. ben rhodes brother is david rhodes, the president of cbs where sheryl atkissson used to work. she quit because she said cbs wouldn t let her do stories like on benghazi. she says that congressman chaffetz told her the government tried to keep this classified. they declassified it initially. yeah, you can look at this. then when they reallied the house oversight committee wanted it, they blacked out so much stuff t didn t make any sense. that s why judicial watch sued them. that s why we now know that it leads back to the white house. right. mike morell also involved there, saying, he was the deputy c.i.a. direct, i ll volunteer to go meet with hillary clinton to work out a message here because it looks too good for the c.i.a. because the c.i.a. knew this was dangerous and warned ahead of time and that they didn t wants to look basically too good and make the f.b.i. and administration look too bad. i feel bad for this guy, growingry hicks, who stood up and sounded the alarm and was the whistle blower and he s paid in his career. fox news has continued to cover this and we ll continue to do to. now a look at what else is making news. good morning. talk being a story in oklahoma. it could affect other states. executions in the state of oklahoma are now on a hold after a new drug cocktail failed to kill an inmate immediately. he died 43 minutes later. clayton lockett s vein ruptured after the first much three injections that he was supposed to get. some witnesses say that the convicted murderer then tried to get up off the gurney and said man, before he died of a heart attack. this was the first time the state of oklahoma used the drug in an execution. other states, including ohio an( well. tuna fish cough off the shore of oregon has elevated levels of radioactivity. it s believed it s from the fukushima nuclear disaster. researchers studied 26 specific alba cor and found a slight increase in levels. they say it has to eat 700,000 pounds of that fish with the highest radiation amount in order for it to affect you. brian, listen to this. all star reunion in a galaxy far away. star wars episode 7 is back. carey fisher is princess leah. a few newcomers, oscar isaac, this guy, phone for his role in inside lieu he willen davis. the whole group already getting together for their script reading. the sequel is set for release next december, 2015. those are your headlines. you ever go scuba diving? always remind me of darth vader, that noise. or a sleep apnea machine. right. thank you very much. all right. we know that one of the voter blocs that helped get president obama, the president job were the young people, millenials. harvard has a new poll out that shows that while there was a lot of hope and change back in 2008, a lot of the support that the president had has slid because they just don t like how it s all turned out. millenials who are 18 to 29, harvard did this study, so it s got to be right. so the trust factor was high at 44. now dropped to 32. also congress went from 14 to 4. the supreme court to 4. and the federal government down 2% from 20. james carvelle was on with greta last night and said this is hurting the democratic party hitting them where it hurts rather. i saw that poll, my day started out about as good as donald sterling s. wasn t too good. that was one way to ask the question. i think asked another way and it was closer. the poll is not good. i m not one of these people that says oh, trashed the poll. the poll was not good on a variety of frontses. if i saw in an abc, washington post, generally a highly respected poll. sometimes they can be a little bit off. i m hoping this is it. i ll wait and see the next one before i get my frustrate razor out. one of the things according to this particular harvard study is the millenials say look, mr. obama promised that he was going to change things. washington is a partisan place. i m gog change all that, he said back in 2008. now fast forward to today, audients do it. and they view him as being part of the system that they promised to change. they re disappointed. it s not just the empty rhetoric. it s them graduating from college and not able to find jobs. or the jobs they re finding, they re way overqualified for. they re upset over obamacare and subsidizing the older, unhealthy people. they re upset about students loans. it goes on and on of the and earlier in the show i talked to some millenial politicians who are already in office. take a listen. this generation and the recent decade, we ve seen that we actually have reason to expect our elected officials, particularly federal officials personified in the president actively deceiving us. i think what millenials are reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what s turning many of us off. we re about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came into republican obstructionism. okay. either that or the number sticks out is 62% say that elected officials are motivated for selfish reasons. so a bitterness and a cynicism. plus you got to figure that the millenials, they re disappointed with how it all turned out with obama. he s not running next time. so how will it impact whoever his party s standard bearer is? stay tuned. the one bit of good news i saw in this whole thing, the number one entity that the millenials trust, the u.s. military. the u.s. military above the presidency, above the supreme court, above the federal government. that was down 7% from where it was. the surge was after 9-11. after 9-11, about 60% supported the president. 70% supported the military. and 54% supported the congress. my, how things have slid. the polling is also showing that conservative millenials are more motivated to come out to the polls in the midterm elections and word is now that democrats are concerned about losing the senate and now vetting and processing federal judges to try to leave that for obama s legacy. 100% of millenials are concerned about turning 30. 30, not that bad. coming up, donald sterling has been fined and banned by the nba. but what are the odds he walks away from the clippers without a fight? peter period of time period of time period of time has done some research. no i.d.? no problem. you can vote anyway. why a judge thinks that s a way to make things fair? [male announcer] ortho crime files. disturbing the pantry. a house, under siege. say helto home defense max. kills bugs inside and prevents new ones for up to a year. ortho home defense max. get order. get ortho®. 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. that s why i got a new windows 2 in 1. it has exactly what i need for half of what i thought i d pay. and i don t need to be online for it to work. it runs office, so i can do schedules and budgets and even menu changes. but it s fun, too with touch, and tons of great apps for stuff like music, cause a good playlist is good for business. i need the boss s signature for this. i m the boss. honestly i wanna see you be brave i am banning mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba. as for mr. sterling s ownership interest in the clippers, i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that happens. nba commissioner adam silver sealing the fate of donald sterling for his racist remarks. but will he walk away from the clippers without a fight or give a full court press? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins me now. good morning. i don t think the fate is sealed. i think there will be a full court press. he s fought before. given his twisted statements that we all know about around the world now, do we assume that there is any sanity or common sense, do we assume he s going to step away and say, okay. no mas. i m done. i ll walk away. that becomes the question. so there is two questions. will he fight the ban and the fine? there is something called arbitrary and capricious in the law. if he says you didn t give me due process, he could bring a courts proceeding. then number two, if the owners vote to expel him and make him sell the team, can he fight that based on antitrust, based again, arbitrary and capricious, based on the contract with the association itself? so there is a lot of questions in spite of what the commissioner has done. peters, when he bought it back in 1981, it was for something like $12 million. there are estimates it could be $575 million for now. more! more! so is it even really an argument for him to say you re making me lose my livelihood? absolutely. you can make the legal argument and i think there is a better than 50% chance he will. i think in the end, he will profit from his own despicable conduct. he will receive a price for this team that is more than he ever imagined it would be. but will there be a fight? will there be a negotiation? will he threatsen a lawsuit against the commissioner? will he threaten a lawsuit against the owners? will he say what you did was denude, decrease the value of this team. the real fair market value of the team. in order to do that to get a higher price going forward. lot of people want to buy this. maybe magic johnson. a lot of people across america. but given what he s done in the past, do we expect a fight? yeah, there is a pretty decents chance that we re going to see a fight on this issue. what about the small portion of the people no doubt the comments were tough listening to these tapes. horrible. but he is tried in the court of public opinion. people are saying it s a rush to judgment. what s the argument on that? in terms of statements that we know about, i can t see that there is a rush to judgment. they re despicable, odious, wrong. they re foul, unamerican. it s not what any of us stand for in this country. but at the same time in terms of the property right, that s a totally different question. this is unchartered territory in and lose money as a result based on private statements? that s a different legal issue. he s entitled to due process on that particular issue. there is no doubt. i see a fight coming. and there have been calls for people to boycott the clippers because of these comments. now there are calls for people to come and support the players instead. the bigger issue is why is there only one african-american owner in the nba? all the nba owners are making themselves feel good now that they ve gone after racism. but why 80% of the players are african-american, but why only one majority owner is african-american in the nba? maybe they should look at that as well. good question. thanks, peter. good to see you. coming up, the united states about to get its butt kicked. the country about to beat us as the number one economy in the world. then who would give back an adopted child?

thank you. she had high hopes of motherhood as she set out to adopt a daughter from russia. but soon thereafter, our next guest discovered her daughter, julia, suffered from rad, reactive attachment disorder. it s a condition that affects thousands of orphans all across the globe due to abeen donement and neglect, among other things. that mom now sharing her story of her family and their ups and downs in the new book rescuing julia twice. tina joins us live. good morning to you. good morning. you rescued her twice. the first time was? eight months old, siberian orphanage. got her on valentine s day, middle of the winters in siberia. and she was a beautiful baby. and you rescued her the second time when you realized something is the matters with my child and i got to figure out what it is. that s right. that s right. more importantly was we rescued her from herself. we rescued her from a dark place, a place where she was incapable of bonding and attaching and feeling the benefit of love. that s referred to as rad. it s a condition that is typically affiliated with children who have been neglected or abused at an early age. it is common among children who have started their lives in orphanages. you picked up your daughter in siberia when she was eight months old. only eight months old. i had not been schooled in this at all. i had not been prepared for this. and it was confusing because she was such a beautiful baby. she s a beautiful young girl now. however, we had been given all sorts of warnings potentially about physical problems, but physically, she thrived. she was strong. she was powerful. she was healthy. she met milestones. so there was this confusing dichotomy between the physical vancements and what was happening for her emotionally. it was very confusing for a new mother in her 40s in the first child. i m sure you thought i m doing something wrong. that s exactly right. that s exactly the problem. and possibly most of all, why i ve written this book. i was so much in the dark. i was so filled with despair. i was so confused and so convinced that i had made haggai grantsic mistake. in particular, you were moved to right this book after you heard about a family about three, four years ago that had a child with the same problem, sent him back to russia. 2010, tory hanson, a single woman, she literally returned her 7-year-old child on a plane to moscow by himself with a note attached to his sweatshirt saying this child is psychotic and i can t parent him. and while her experience was very different than mine and while the world viewed her as a monster and she didn t make a great decision, i understood what was behind that. i understood how difficult it was to try to parents a child who won t accept love. sure. how many times with your daughter were you to the points where, i can t take it anymore? something is the matter, either with me or her or us. it never occurred to me to return her. of course. i was deep in despire. i was scared. in those early days, those first couple of years, i would think a we were never going to be a family, that i was never going to truly be this child s mother that when she said mommy, that it would never be authentic. you know what s interesting about your story and you re very brave for telling it, is when you see on tv about these celebrities, they adopt these international children, looks so easy. everything turns out great. angelina jolie makes it look like it s an idyllic situation. you have a little troop of orphans, internationally adopted children and it all melds perfectly. that is not reality. it s great you are making people aware of rad in circumstances. the book is called rescuing julia twice. thank you very much. thank you very much. good luck to you. thanks. 26 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, should illegal immigrantses be allowed to pay in-state tuition. we ll tell but it. plus, kenny rogers doing something he s never done before. he joins us live coming up. what does that first spoonful taste like?

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

dan o connor and state senator troy balderson are neck in in this case neck in a district donald trump won by 11 points. a district that has been red since 1939. aside from a two-year blip in the 80s. now it is a district that could easily turn blue. not just women, i think men are as well a little confused what s going on in the republican party and everybody is kind of looking to support the best candidate rather than be more a partisan issue. do you normally vote for republicans or democrats? i tend to be a conservative testimony i wou democrat i would say. was it something about o connor. it is more about sending a message. i mean, the republicans have to wake up. if they are not going to be a Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. majority in the house, voters in michigan and kansas and washington state are also headed to the polls. is this a consequence of democrats have the momentum and energy? are they drawn to the party s ir resistible messaging or about the republican party, a party with a president who dominates the daily discourse and shames republican morals. a part in the tlauls of an existent shal crisis, the grand oel party or party of trump? the big question we re asking, is another gop election loss enough for the gop to change its strategy? joining me, msnbc capitol hill correspondent dare ron hak in columbus ohio and rick sherman. good to see you out of the capitol, number one. you ve been talking to folks for the past day. what sort of things have you been hearing beyond what we just played a moment ago? changes in november. how much of this is about the democrats message or is it more about as we suggested in the lead-in the open to this show that this is about a republican party that is in the middle fl an existential crisis, except for the identity of the man in the oval office? it s not about democrats as a national party they are messaging. you see a huge difference obviously from alexandria cortez talking about abolish s i.c.e. and danny o connor, two different candidates. it s not even about the president in some ways because the president is actually above water in this district, 48% in most polls, anywhere between 48 and 51% of voters here like approve of the job the president is doing. i think this is about a massive influx of cash. republicans have spent $4 million in this district, which is an unheard of sum that congressional leadership fund it s coming. about frank o connor. to represent the 12th congress at district. it s a big day and we worked hard to get here. reporters are we trying to get him to comment on something he said, he don t want someone from franklin county representing us. franklin county is the most populist county in the state. it s responsible for 30% of the votes that are going to get cast and by the way, it s the more democratic, more moderate columbus and it s nearest end suburb. what you saw there is balderson intentionally or not last night saying hey, i m the guy who s going to be the representative for all of the these more rural places, not necessarily the candidate of the city folk if you will. it s one of those things where you sort you said the quiet the mini me to donald trump. and so i talked to one of consultants yesterday and said doesn t matter how much money you spend anymore. once people decide they are not going to vote because of trump, it s over. i think this very republican district, we re still still a competitive seat but o connor has proven that candidate quality matter and if you re trying to be a reapplicant of trump, you re going to put yourself in a state of vulnerability and if you re a guy like o connor or lam they have communicated in the district and haven t hustled. balderson doesn t seem like he has a lot of hustle. he seems to be dodging the press. not a happy warrior. usually the press gets your message out exactly. how it works typical. do you think if the democrats are not able to take this seat, this is going to be something of a deflator? certainly not, the fact we re looking at the dead heat in our plus 7 district i think is making everybody on the other side incredibly nervous and empowering those on our site. if it comes anywhere near as close as polling suggests, that s definitely a loss for the gop even if we wind up for balderson. i agree with everything rick said about the particulars of the race but i do think there is something larger happening across the country in terms of progressive enthusiasm and turnout. we have seen democratic turnout rise 84% by what it was in 2014. i think what is happening, democrats realized across the country we have been falling down on voting when it wasn t a presidential the republicans have just been eating our luncheon this. we were vaguely aware of it but we weren t actually doing anything about it. once donald trump got elected and we saw how bad things could get, i think that changed. so since his election, in every special election that we ve had in 2017 and 2018, we have seen republican performance drop and democratic performance rise as electronomically. this could be more than just a backlash to trump this year. this could be a party realizing what it needs to do to elect the people it wants to be represented by. donald trump has endorsed balderson. he s trying to get him to lift up in the race any other races that are the primaries happening today, he s endorsed people like chris kobach running in kentucky. kansas. kansas, excuse me. k state. in kansas and so far the people that he s endorsed have tended to be the more controversial choice. and endorsing somebody like chris kobach leading the charge on the voter fraud investigation when there s no real no such thing as voter fraud the way he was describing it. right. how does that help the republican party? he wants anyone who is running to owe him. trump looks at himself as a medieval lord and these guys are his vessels, he s going to say i put you in here and selected you. you re not part of anything else. you re part of me. you know, set aside that s completely departure from our constitutional principles and history, but defined by trump at all points if kobach gets the nomination and has a rage tweet on toilet, kansas is a horrible hell hole and i hate them, chris kobach is screwed. he s not mindful of political party leader. it s all impulse and all what s there in the moment and all whatever comes out of his itchy twitter finger any given second. you wrote a book and the fate that has befallen them, mike flynn, et cetera, et cetera, paul manafort, rick gates. this is not quite the narrative of your book. if donald trump is putting his blessing on these candidates that are not going on to win and say the republicans don t win in a special election, do you think that s going to be a turning point for the republican party to start to change their strategy? i don t think this special will change the strategy. these guys are way locked in and the ones that secretly don t love trump, they are terrified of him tweeting or getting angry at them. the ones who do love trump, they ll ride in pony until it falls over dead. if there s a significant democratic sweep in november, there will be a lot of folks who make get to an understanding that the endorsement in the primary was great and incredibly helpful and desisive but in the general it s poison. i think we may be getting there and seeing democrats when they get activated by trump will crawl over broken glass to vote against his people. i think we re we ll see the test case tonight. it s still a very republican district though. in terms of enthusiasm, where are you looking most for democratic enthusiasm? is it women? black women specifically? i mean, honestly black women are the people we count on to pull us over the finish liner election. i have no doubt they ll turn out in massive numbers this year because they were part of the constituency that didn t need trump getting elected to get the memo they have to turn out even when the president is not on the line. i m looking at college educated white women who have been a reliable voting bloc since time in memorial and seem to be softening probably because the president is a huge mass saj in any event. they seem to be not as into that as they were when the republican vanguard was a mitt romney. i m interested to see do we start to get them? do they start to come over to the democratic side? if that happens, then republicans and trump are really left with white men. and specific segments of white men. the base is getting smaller and smaller for them. if they lose white college educated women, it s hard to get a majority in this country anymore. i want to read one portion from rick s book, everything we never warned you, massive downstream election losses is coming and alienating african-americans and hispanics beyond redemption, check. raising young voters fleeing the gop in droves. check. juvenile complaints and ego bruises taking center stage while the world burns. check. blistering pig ignorance about the economy and world. check, shredding the last credibility is a party that cares about debt, deficits and fiscal probity. check. rick wilsowilson, good luck wit vote. that is a damning portrait of the republican party. we appreciate you coming. guys it has been a pleasure as always. a wild day in the paul man that fort trial. the judge in the case accuses of prosecutor of prying next. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. so he took aleve this morning. hey dad. if he d taken tylenol, he d be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can t do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain, for up to 12 hours of pain relief with just one pill. ahoy! gotcha! nooooo. noooooo. quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent. bounty, the quicker picker upper. with a $500,000 life insurance policy. how much do you think it cost him?

well, i mean, that s just another mode i think there are two big things we re hearing out of the courthouse, the one you re bringing up now. this case says prosecutors who put this on and often times say it s about greed, he wanted more and more money and that s why he didn t pay taxes. now we re hearing he was in financial zdistress this gives another mode. when jurors hear this, not only do they have the more common, the greed aspect of a case like this but now they see the unnerving need that he had and that could be telling and very persuasive to a jury. seth, you tell me if i m skipping ahead here. could this be laying groundwork for how this ties into the russia probe and broader question of conspiracy, collusion and coordination. manafort needed money. is this mueller s trying to paint this portrait of get into the public record of manafort as a man desperate which is why it s a weird an open question and weird it s just weird that manafort went to work for donald trump under all of these financial issues and wasn t getting paid. well, i think the main purpose of this trial from the overarching mueller investigation is to get paul nan manafort to flip. this background, as a former federal prosecutor, did it for 13 years, conspiracies don t just fall out of the sky in the middle of march of 2016 or june of 2016. there s a history there are relationships and business relationships and there are reasons why the russians felt reaching out to paul manafort and these facts, the decade or so of interactions and business transactions with russian backed yugoslavians or others, can be how the formation of a conspiracy comes together and prosecutors use that in the wider case to build the record and show jurors how this all came to be. it wasn t something that just dropped out of the sky in 2016. one other point i want to make, there seems to be some drama with judge ellis and the prosecution, at one point the judge looked at greg andress, a member of the prosecutorial team, i understand how frustrated you are and in fact there s tears in your eyes right now. and saying he wasn t crying and the judge looks back at him and says, well we have not seen any of that behavior from judge ellis today. i wonder if it had to do with the media coverage of this tension from yesterday. up until today, there had been a lot of grumbling from people close to the prosecution that ellis wasn t being fair. he was really holding their feet to the fire trying to get them to rush through their case they felt, not letting him allow evidence. today we haven t heard a peep. i want to let you know i ve been told that the prosecution has finished their questioning of gates and cross-examination will be happening this afternoon. also, a reference to donald trump, not being mentioned at the trial. there was a note in a manafort document that talked about season tickets to the yankees and this is from 2013 and the note said going to trump next week. that wasn t mentioned and put up on the screen. we all read it. wanted to let people know that happened. no doubt judge elis will be happy that the trial is moving on that the defense will get a chance to cross-examination today. ken dilanian, thanks very much. coming up did don jr. commit a crime? when i touch you like this it s so hard to believe but it s all coming back me. baby, baby, baby. all you can eat is back, baby. applebee s. this is just another d distraction when again after two years of you know, nonstop investigation, with everyone in the media, everyone in the fbi, everyone in this whoever the whole world is looking at this and yet to produce anything that even remotely resembles what they ve been talking about. and yet every other day, oh, my god, we ve got it now. nouz the we got the needle in the haystack, i ve been hearing this for two years. the president s son says all of the talk about the trump tower meeting is just a distraction. over the weekend the president publicly confirmed that the purpose of the meeting was to get information on an opponent. trump insisted though it was totally legal and done all the time in politics. but is it? a piece in the new york times explores potential legal pitfalls for don jr. joining me now, the author of that piece and new york times washington correspondent charlie savidge, known as nbc contributor and white house reporter jonathan la mere, also an msnbc political analyst. charlie, you talk about a lot of potentialities and ways don jr. could run afoul of the law. depending on how the grand jury interprets the facts for the special count, robert s. mueller iii gathered about the two trump towers meeting it could find the foreigners elected the federal complain election act and don jr. conspired in that offense. what do you think he s most at risk for, charlie? well, there s a variety of different laws that ban foreign assistance to campaigns. not just the provision of that assistance but even promises to provide such assistance or requests to provide such assistance even if it never actually materialized. some of those laws under the federal election campaign act have never actually been used to prosecute someone. so the one that i think is most interesting is a related one called conspiracy to defraud the united states which means to prevent the government from carrying out one of its legally assigned duties and we ve already seen this surface in the mueller investigation when special counsel mueller obtained the grand jury indictment of 12 russians and three russian organizations in february for the covert campaign to manipulate american social media, to help the trump campaign in 2016, the first charge he brought against them was conspiracy to defraud the united states specifically to prevent the federal election commission from carrying out his duty to keep americans informed about money and campaigns and who is supporting what candidates and prevent foreign assistance to domestic political campaigns. since that charge has already surfaced in this very context, i think if i were on donald trump jr. s legal team, that s the one i would be most concerned about. as well as a related charge potentially of lying to congress when he told the senate judiciary committee last september that he was unaware of any other foreign government offering to help the trump campaign when we know he was talking to people representing saudi arabia and united arab emirates and their desires to help the trump campaign. i do also believe that conspiracy to defraud the united states was one of the superse superseding indictments for paul manafort as well. it could have come up twice. the president and don jr. have said this is all political opposition research. john, that s their defense, everybody does this. this is nothing new. also, nothing came of it. right. they are shifting the definition of what collusion is. we keep hearing president say over and over again no collusion. that s not actually the crime. there s conspiracy and all of the others you just listed there. what we re seeing here is that a pretty concerted effort to change the talking point from the president himself to his allies and rudy giuliani, et cetera, where they are saying, look, maybe there was this meeting but nothing came of it. no information was delivered and therefore nothing was really wrong or illegal. and that of course is sort of treacherous legal ground. this is a concern for this white house and people close to the president. we have heard now for over a week that the president despite his public denial on twitter the other day is brooding over this, stewing over the possibility that his son could be in real legal jeopardy, even if he didn t know he was breaking the law, he still may have. watching manafort trial, which is like on cable all the time and it s from a visible reminder of robert mueller. even though it isn t about russia, it s connected to mueller and trump has told people around him he feels like the next person he sees go on trial might be his son. there s great concern there and we ve seen that manifest itself in these very tweets from the president in recent days. the president will often quote people on fox to develop his own arguments and repeat what they say. andrew nepal tan no is often one of those people but just today he was not one of those who were parrotting the president s line on the trump tower meeting. listen to this. if there was an agreement to receive dirt on hillary from the russians even if the dirt never came, if those who agreed, at least one of them took some step in furtherance of the agreement, there is a potential crime for conspiracy. but it doesn t appear that the president was among them. charlie, do federal prosecutors and from your understanding of this piece you just wrote, does he have does he have a point? what andrew nepal tan no was describing was the classic crime of conspiracy, when two or more people agree to commit some other crime and take minor step toward that, that that point they already committed the crime of conspiracy, even if they never fulfill their plan to carry out some other crime, like you and i agree to rob a bank and look at the bank to look at the security around it and never rob the bank, we ve we re already guilty of that crime of conspiracy. that s what andrew is getting at when he was saying that it doesn t matter if no information was received because the crime of conspiracy at that point would already have been completed. or if you break into the bank and there s month money there, that could be something along those lines as well. and i would point to don jr. and that e-mail exchange with rob goldstone where he says that a woman from the russian government has dirt on hillary clinton. don jr. s response in black and white in writing, was if it s what you say it is, i love it. jonathan lemir, charlie savage, thank you very much. louis charles an immigrant from haiti, came to the u.s. on a fake passport in 1999, that offense was waived in 2011 and he was issued a green card. by all accounts he has been a model citizen, working long hours as a nursing assistant, carrying full-time for his adult daughter with severe disanlt. charles might get deported and he s not the only one. a new trump administration policy is now targeting the more than 20 million legal immigrants currently living in the united states. and nbc news national security reporter julia anzly joins us now. charles has a green card. how can he be deported if he has a green card? katy, i m so glad we re drilling in on house is charl story. he was a sympathetic character and the reason he could be deported even though he s a green carder two reasons, mainly, he wanted to become a u.s. citizen and last fall he was denied that right. he thought that this would be a smooth thing. told me i thought everything in the country was fair and square, unlike where i come from in haiti. i thought since i have the green card i ve been a model citizen, naturalization would be no problem. instead he was denied that because he had entered the country with a fake passport in 1989. despite the fact that had been waived. dhs is going back and readds jut indicating some of the decisions made under prior administrations. he could also be deported and not get his citizenship status because his daughter is disabled and as we reported in this story, there is a forthcoming policy change from the white house that would label anyone, any immigrant who has been using public assistance, even those here legally like louis charlgs fr charles from getting citizenship sore advancing status in any way. they are including obamacare in that, is that questionable because is obamacare considered public assistance? it s federally mandated that you have that insurance. it s true. this is for people who are using the health marketplace exchange. and it does seem like a stretch but this law is very broad. this is a law from the 1800s that said the united states shouldn t have to take any immigrants who are likely to become a public charge. so really they are able to redefine that in a lot of ways. previously immigrants who are on cash assistance like social security, they did have a hard time becoming citizens. so that is not changing and already been the case. now they are expanding it to a place where even people who are using the marketplace through the obamacare exchanges, that would now be looked at like a social safety net. 20 million legal immigrants at risk. that s right. great exclusive reporting. come on with any new details you get. will do. thanks, katy. president trump has been pretty consistent about his plan, build a big beautiful wall along the southern border of the united states. but a new report from the government accountability office indicates things may not go as smoothly as the president hopes. quote, by proceeding without key information, dhs faces an increased risk that the border wall system program will cost more than projected, take longer than planned or not fully perform as expected. i m joined now by nbc news white house correspondent jeff bennett. i heard on the campaign trail over and over and over again, donald trump saying how good he was at getting projects in ahead of schedule and under budget. reporter: yeah. look, katy, this is pretty damaging for president trump s most coveted construction project the long promised southern border wall. you have a watchlog report saying the wall would blow through the budget and miss key deadlines and may not work as planned. all tolled the dhs would probably waste billions of dollars. that s assessment from the gao. all because the department hasn t fully completed a cost and construction analysis. so here s what we know. we know u.s. customs and border protection tested eight prototypes. president trump visited them back in march. said each design would work better than existing fencing. but the thing to know about this report, you have the government accountability office saying that dhs agrees with its recommendations, agrees with its assessment that there needs to be tougher scrutiny. that said, i got the statement from dhs late last night and read part of it to you, after years of investment in a border wall system, we experienced a roughly 90% reduction in apprehensions in san diego and yuma sectors and americans deserve a secure border that keeps america safe and this administration is doing so by constructing the first border wall in a decade. you see there a statement that talks about how border walls can be effective but really nothing that addresses the specific points brought up by the gao. this report gives the president s critics more ammow when they say it is an infrastructure project that is frivolous and wasteful. thanks very much. freedom of expression versus the free market. tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you to get your windshield fixed. teacher: let s turn in your science papers. tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. student: i did mine on volcanoes. teacher: you did?! oh, i can t wait to read it. tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage. she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we d be there. teacher: you must be pascal. tech: yes ma am. tech vo: saving her time.

that had not come up at the trial. how does the jury not know paul manafort was a trump chairman? we weren t privy to the questioning of jurors but the idea is they aren t supposed to have preconceived notions. they know now and steven caulk, the chicago banker, paul manafort is accused of defrauding his bank. there s a question why he was recommending this guy for a job who had loaned him $16 million. that was not part of his testimony but it s in court documents and it may come up at a later point in the trial. very interesting. ken dilanyan. thanks very much. content from spreader and alex jones who argued 9/11 was an inside job has been removed from a number of prominent outlets including facebook, i tunes and spotify and youtube. accused of jones of violating hate speech and a fraud. few reasonable people would be upset to see him go. but in an age where extremism and outlandish conspiracy theories flourish online, some prominent voices are wondering where to draw the line between free expression and censorship. with me now, will sumert, tech and internet reporter for the daily beast. will, this goes beyond alex jones being somebody that s banned. this is about there s qanon theorists who are calling hollywood celebrities pedophiles. there s pizzagate, there s white nationalism, extremism, all of that stuff. why does it behoove a social media company or what are the pitfalls for a social media company to decide to draw the line? sure. i mean, this is clearly an issue that facebook and apple and youtube have dealt with for a long time. and, you know, eventually, once apple made its move on monday, facebook and youtube decided to follow suit. they have been previously very reluctant to take action against alex jones and info wars. on one hand, i think these platforms are very reluctant to seem like they re biased against people on the right, or conservatives, even someone like alex jones. on the other hand, you have someone who s using these platforms to promote harassment and harassment campaigns against families, as sandy hook victims, naming the wrong shooter in parkland. stuff like that. and so then, it becomes an issue for the platforms, less about politics, and about harassment, hate speech, and potentially the promotion of violence. david was arguing that what they should have done is just not use hate speech, as a reason to ban alex jones, david french, the conservative columnist, but rather, that he was afoul of the law, more specifically. he wanted to argue he thought that they should argue that he is being charged with libel as opposed to something as wiggly as hate speech, which can be defined in all sorts of way. libel and slander are more serious, for sure. and they re more so legal definition. yeah, you can put your finger on it. there s a twitter account that i m sure that you treasure that came to prominence in the 2016 campaign called the sweet meat your of death, where the whole concept was like, you know, this election is so terrible, there will be the sweet release of the media coming down and blowing us all up. it was banned for 12 hours today, because the new twitter rules are like, i don t know, you re propagating, you know, hate speech and violence against people for the sweet meteor of death. so you know hate speech, what is it? it doesn t really have a firm legal definition. it kind of doesn t even really exist in our legal community right now. i think what you see, and of course, all of these social media platforms have the right legal right to absolutely ban the loathsome toad that is alex jones, there s no question about that. the question for me more is, what is our culture of free speech right now? we have great constitutional protections for free speech, but if the culture for free speech is sick, which i think it is right now, i just think it is, then constitutionally, 10 years, 20 years down the road, we might be in a rough place. hold on, facebook, youtube, spoti spotify, et cetera, are not the government. they re private companies. democratic senator chris murphy tweeted as much. and don jr. took his tweet and accused him of a censorship campaign. it s really all about purging conservative media. and i want to push back on that a little bit. this idea that it s conservative media. this effort to lump alex jones in, with conservative media. alex jones is not a conservative. alex jones is a liar. alex jones is a conspiracy spreader. he s not someone saying that i believe that the tax policy that president obama put in place wasn t a good policy. it s not somebody saying, i want smaller government. right, but when you have these platforms now going off and being hypersensitive, under political pressure, social pressure, journalistic pressure to go after the bad guys, they are going to make some mistakes. and scott horton, a good journalist and anti-war guy, he was banned for twitter from a day, i think it was, recently, as part of this kind of net. i think that s the broader point that people are making. and i think the thing that we should all think about is, are we going on twitter and spending our time trying to de-platform somebody from one of these things? trying to get them un-hired from the new york times or msnbc or anywhere else like that? that s not a healthy culture. but msnbc can fire me any day. it s a private company. they re under no obligation to keep me employed. i totally agree with that. and it s my platform, i might very well kick off alex jones. but it s the rest of us that i m kind of more worried about right now than facebook and the rest of them. are we going first to the ban hammer? broader culture of intolerance for dissent vugiews. yes, when you disagree with someone s rhetoric, are you trying to get them fired. thank you both very much. ever wonder what mike pence is thinking when he stares adoringly at president trump like that right there?

‘for this that paved the way for this employment case. she wanted to sue british cycling for wrongful dismissal and sexual discrimination, but first, she had to prove that she was an employee. she

today, that appeal was dismissed with the judge said that the tribunal had not in its approach to the status of her employment or otherwise, she wasn t an employee. have we had any reaction from her

win according to coach phil simmons. joe wilson has more. doing here for the west indies as they put it is like going home. but as $0 they put it is like going home. but as so they spend the best parts of the month before the first test match, living together and preparing together. and how useful that was for their coach. that may have been the biggest influence on the performance. i think that we have been here for that period of time, we have had quality bowling and you can t put a price on that. on southampton on sunday, playing a match winning in his refusal to be tempted into doing anything rash, even though ben stokes was in his earfrom even though ben stokes was in his ear from the first ball. nothing bad, part of the game. but it shows how competitive the first match was and maybe it was a game that england we re and maybe it was a game that england were not quite prepared for themselves. is the first game for a lot of us, thatis is the first game for a lot of us, that is no excuse but i think there was some rust in there. i think there is certainly after the game, we are obviously very keen to turn around there. england s coach was a note and done, but as an ignition, a sweaty player and in the absence of saliva in these test matches, they had thejob of saliva in these test matches, they had the job of having to shine the ball on his trousers. so much so, that he

decision. that angry reaction coming in from the chinese ambassador. wearing face coverings in shops in england will be compulsory from the end of next week, after mixed messaging from the government over the weekend. the new rule comes in on 2a july, and will apply to shops and supermarkets. children under the age of 11, and those with certain disabilities, will be exempt, as is the case on public transport. those who do not wear a covering could be fined up to £100. the move brings england into line with scotland, germany, spain and italy. let s hear now from the health secretary matt hancock announcing the decision in the house of commons a little earlier. in recent weeks, we have reopened retail and want to give people more confidence to shop safely and enhance protection for those who worked in shops. both of these can be done by the use of face coverings. sadly, cells and systems, cashiers and security guards have suffered disproportionately in this crisis. the death rate of sales in retail assistance the 75% higher among men and 65% higher among women than in the general population. as restore shopping, we must keep our shopkeepers safe. there s also evidence that it increases confidence in people to shop. they said that with other social distancing measures, face coverings can make shoppers view even more confident about returning to the high street and that the chair of the federation of small businesses and separate small firms know that managerface and separate small firms know that manager face coverings have a part to play in the nations recovery both physically and financially and that he is sure that this will be welcomed. we come to the decision in the face coverings should be mandatory in shops and supermarkets. much confusion of her face covering leads to the different types of studies, according to paul, a professor of medicine at the university of east anglia he he also advises the world health organisation of the use of facemasks. we spoke to him earlier. to come up with different conclusions. the gold standard is the randomised trial, controlled trials and they have found no value and other types of case control studies where you look at people who are sick and see whether or not they we re are sick and see whether or not they were wearing face masks before, tend to suggest that facemasks and face coverings, they may be subject to people who were facemasks or other things to reduce the risk. if they do not work is because people have not been using them as effectively as they could ve been and that is why i think that if we are going that this law, it does need to be made clear how they should be worn, what type of facemasks people wear and in the world health organisation, they recommended to relay her face mask in the material they use should not have to lose a weave, at least in one of the layers and they should be able to absorb a certain amount of waters so the facemask does not lose its value because it would be moving it around a lot and it can get contaminated on your hands and potentially spread the infection. now it s time for a look at the weather. cloud aplenty across the atlantic and many of our western coast look like this as you can see a little earlier. eastern scotland did not fa re earlier. eastern scotland did not fare quite so badly and had some sunshine around here. but pushing its way eastwards introducing a much moister air, a lot of humidity that will be quite murky across the hills and drown the coasts and overnight, they ll some overnight in northern ireland and was in scotland as and northern england in the south west england by the end of the night. overnight lows around 11 to 13 degrees. as an end of day time, we are degrees. as an end of day time, we a re really degrees. as an end of day time, we are really up against a lot of cloud and deliberateness across eastern counties of england for the front will continue to push eastward so i think it s not much rain to the south but what a spell across northern england and parts of the midlands, but generally it s the tale of a solid blanket of child holding temperatures below average in many places past 20 and alternating high and the south of england. a better chance of some brightness, particularly in the southeast and that is in effect that we see from our top temperatures during the east preps 2a degrees in the west with the cloud and brother front approaching just at 16. looking at the high teens to the low 20s, this front pushing it will sync its way southwards and friday will bea dry its way southwards and friday will be a dry day with some sunshine as the day pans out, scotland and northern ireland was in prison cloud and some rain arriving and then to the north of that brother front, it isa the north of that brother front, it is a court whether fronts of cooler air starting to is a court whether fronts of cooler airstarting to sink is a court whether fronts of cooler air starting to sink its way southwards. out quickly that with the front makes it is subject to some question as to look towards her weekend weather. slow moving to the south, we made to see a warmer spot for a time across southern england, but it does look as though we go to the weekend on into next week that we will basically pick up that warmth in westerly feet of air, so temperatures are probably going to bea temperatures are probably going to be a little bit, but not too u nsettled be a little bit, but not too unsettled on the way. this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for
