maria: welcome back. time to tell you market is down it 6. -- 2 of. that will do it for "opening bell." tom sullivan in for stuart. >> good morning to you. i'm tom sullivan in here for stuart this morning. here is the big story. bombshell report on clinton foundation, cash flowed into it as russia scooped up a big uranium company. 10 of millions of dollars went from people involved in the foundation, all while hillary was secretary of state. she had to approve the deal. latest polls show the tide may be turning. will voters really buy this so-called recovery? talk about a flight from hell? passengers mysteriously started passing out. pilots conducted a drastic

nosedive to lower altitude. wait until you hear what the passengers had to say about the plane that landed safely. "varney & company" is about to begin. >> what families are strong americans are strong. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> what difference at this point does it make? tom: more from hillary in a minute. check the big board. 3m strong dollar is cutting into sales. company cut its profit forecast for the year. caterpillar is winner after the opinion reported higher profits and sales that raised it outlook. gas up overnight up to $2.49. price of regular is up for the past nine days. breaking news this morning. we have two hostages, one american, one italian killed in a u.s. drone strike against

al qaeda targets in pakistan in january. warren weinstein, an american contractor working in pakistan was kidnapped by al qaeda back in 2011. the italian hostage aid worker, giovanni lo porto had been held hostage since 2012. president obama made the announcement last hour. >> as president and as commander-in-chief i take full responsibility for all our counterterrorism operations including the one that inadvertently took the lives of warren and gee ayvani. -- giovanni. i profoundly regret what happened. on behalf of the united states government i offer our deepest apologies to the families. tom: more on this later this hour, judge napolitano. he is a large critic of the use of drones. we'll talk about that to him. now to hillary and the bombshell. russia buy as major uranium mining company from canada. the money flowed from russians

and canadians into the clinton foundation. it was tens of millions of dollars. all of this while hillary was secretary of state. she even had to approve the deal. monica crowley, "washington times" online opinion editor is here. and, gee, monica, it smells to high heaven. >> here we go again, tom, right? i always said the worst and most problematic scandals for any candidate are the ones that reinforce preexisting negative notions about that person. so what this does, the clinton cash, the private email, the private server, what they do reinforce in voters minds what we already know and suspect hillary and frankly bill clinton, which is that they are corrupt. that they are greedy. that they are grab biand they are serial liars, all with something to hide. that is what you get out of this story. this pay to play, this corruption. look these are allegations. we have to see how they pan out but the impression now in most voters minds is, look, we've had

clinton fatigue for the last 20 years. we were willing to give hillary the benefit of the doubt going into this race because she was so dominant but now with these scandals we've reached a tipping point tom, where more voters than not are saying you know what? i think enough already. tom: a lot of people are shocked because of the fact that the "new york times" is writing about a lot of this. i look at it, and go, is this "the new york times" trying to get all the dirt out of the way a year-and-a-half before the election? >> that could be but i have a little different theory on this. "the new york times," "washington post," some others doing the reporting on the:town foundation, the clinton global initiative and this corrupt dirty money coming in from foreign sources. i think they're doing this not because they want to see republican elected. they're not suddenly in love with ted cruz. what they are trying to do is i think weaken hillary, if not outright destroy her to get a more radically left candidate like elizabeth warren or bill de blasio in new york, to

enter the race at least give her run for the money, if not the nominee. tom: maybe so. one you did not mention, you're following, gee wouldn't it be nice to have a governor again. martin o'malley a lot of people really didn't know about him. a lot of people didn't know about senator obama. martin o'malley is big far lefty as well. >> he is a progressive and governor and mayor of baltimore. for anybody who watched hbo series "wire." the character of the mayor of baltimore is a based on martin o'malley. he is a ruthless, tough, political shrewd operator. not to be underestimated. tom: no that is why i brought him up. i think you're right there is a chance there. the other part about all of this is simply is, i will do with all of our guests. i can say something bad about my mother and you can't. so the democrats will rally around hillary if the republicans beat up on her.

>> this is why i think she should back off. you never interrupt your opponent when your opponent is in the process of destroying herself. i know last week in new hampshire you had a cattle call of republican candidates and were piling on her. my advice, back off. there is plenty of time to attack hillary and her corruption and her record. for now, let herself, let it be hillary versus hillary and let "new york times" and "washington post" destroy her. tom: what is the line, give them rope something like that? anyway, check out the online latest "fox news poll" on the economy. look at this. just 45% of voters approve of how president obama's handling the economy. let's bring in lenore hawkins with mayor taos financial i'm sorry in san diego. lenore, 2016, it is going to be the economy always is what people vote on. they vote their pocketbooks. so, it is a long ways off. what do you think economy is

going to be a year from now because that is going to be important? >> absolutely. we keep hearing all this talk about how the unemployment rate has improved. unemployment is not very useful number. what actually happens over the past 15 years, the number of people with jobs has gone down by 4%. meanwhile the number of people in the country has gone up by 14%. now if we look how many people are working, versus how many people are receiving government benefits, it is even worse. for everyone person for every one hundred people working, you have 103 people receiving benefits. but of those 100 that are working, some are government employees. so they're actually getting paid by tax dollars. if we look at people in the private sector, that, for every one hundred people working in the private sector you have 140 people receiving benefits. obviously we can't continue on that way. tom: here's the problem, lenore. i know stuart has talked about

it a lot, so have i is that the participation rate, all of these numbers that you talked about they're not good. but people -- >> they're terrible. tom: people only listen to the headline. they don't delve into financial news like you and i. they only hear headline, unemployment rate is down. isn't this great. but i also still firmly believe, people know, they have intrinsic sense how the economy is going. >> well, if you look at household income levels, they have been relatively stagnant for the past 15 years. for all this talk about yea, home prices going up unless not so excited about home prices going up, when people are not making more money. how is it a good thing that home prices are becoming more and more expensive if i don't have more money to buy that home with? tom: well, people have the sense too. they know if their neighbors, if their relatives can afford that home. have a job, are worried about

their job. seems like things are improving. a long way off before the election. >> quality of jobs is not very good. yes, people are getting jobs but, you look at that is where the income comes from. you look at somebody who had $150,000 job, if they're working as a barista, they're not unemployed but that isn't exactly a good job. tom: the quality is what people know b. lenore hawkins, thank you very much. appreciate you coming on. >> thanks, tom. tom: now i'm really glad i want on this skywest flight yesterday. lauren has the story in case you missed it. lauren. >> me too. glad i wasn't on this one, because passengers tom, passed out on the plane. one lost consciousness. and skywest flight made an emergency landing this happened yesterday in buffalo, new york. you have to imagine how scary it was for passengers. when the pilot made a command decision landing plane, nosediving 28,000 feet in just minutes, all passengers are okay. this is how they described the descent yesterday.

>> seems like there was some emergency that was happening that wasn't just for medical. they said there is a loss of cabin pressure. at that point they asked us to tighten our seatbelts and we basically nosedived until we leveled out at 10,000 feet. >> you could feel like king kong picked up the plane and shook it. >> we jumped out of our seats. we had the seatbelt on, the bump was a roller-coaster ride. tom: just. >> just to be clear here, southwest says there was no pressure problem or problem with the door. that was earlier reported. i love roller coasters. just don't want to do one on a plane you're a pilot. tom: if there was loss of pressurization, they did exactly what they are supposed to do and do emergency december sent. >> is that what it is like? >> do you lining to breathe or take roller coaster ride. i will take the breathing. the story has been reported five or six different ways. i can't fick out what really

happened. >> that was confusion yesterday and today. like i said, no pressure problem on the plane. no issue with the door. a passenger got very sick and they made the landing. for some passengers passing out maybe they got nervous, but no mechanical failure or anything like that with the jet. i know it was confusing. tom: really is. there was question about was a door fell off or door open? was there passengers went unconscious before they took the dive. i don't know. lauren simonetti, thank you. >> thanks, tom. tom: by the way that was skywest on that. meantime up next, another failure at the secret service took them an entire year to fix an alarm at former president george h.w. bush's house. are these people who protecting our leaders, can we trust hem them to protect our leaders? ♪

tom: let's check the big board. stocks bounced back, but still down, perhaps reacting to this morning's disappointing new home and jobs numbers. down just four. still above 18,000. facebook shares, this company is spending a lot of money and that is weighing on its profits. shares are down but they're still getting lots of traction as far as customers going to facebook. look at hershey, profits fall on higher costs and weaker china sales. they have got another dollar problem also with hershey company. time is money. here are three other stories we have for you today. shopping at ikea for a lot of people not so fun. er to get about -- forget about putting furniture together. i have a question for you.

could it put your relationship with your significant other at risk? monica is laughing. >> yes. tom: we'll talk about it next hour. later actor robert downey, jr. the "iron man," maybe the armor isn't so thick after all. we'll tell you why he stormed out of an interview. also at noon hour, the biggest money boxing match manny pacquiao, versus floyd mayweather. is boxing back. we'll have more on that. more trouble from the secret service. new report from the homeland security department finds the agency took over a year to replace a security alarm at president george h.w. bush's home. the latest in a long series of failures for the agency tasked with protecting our presidents. a former secret service agent is here. dan, you expect the incompetence from the government bureaucrat, the secret service my gosh what a proud institution. seems like their name is getting tarnished one after the other. you have to be disappointed?

>> i am disappointed. they have been taking a beating, no question about it. i think the new director joe clancy, who i personally worked for. i think he is the right guy right now. he was, i used to call him a-b. he was all business. he knew what needed to be done. i think we i will clean this up. we can't view this outside of bigger picture in the maze of government inefficiency and growing bureaucracy. i'm not surprised by this story, having getting something done through procurement, getting a new alarm, it was nightmare in the secret service and everywhere else in the government. tom: before we introduced you i talked about the fact this report came from homeland security. i have heard from other agents see if you confirm this is that a lot of agents say we should be back in the treasury department, not open land security, big behemoth agency. is that a big deal to you? >> i happen to agree with that personally. i said that on this network multiple times. when we were in the department

of treasury we were a big fish in a very small pond. the budget was actually i think right now it is about 1 1/2 billion for the secret service. the budget back then think about this tom, was about 900 million. so you're talking about a 5 600 million-dollar difference. in my opinion the job got done much more efficiently. whenever you needed anything from new computers to security enhancements video cameras things were done more efficiently. when you suffocate them on top of a dhs bureaucracy, of course they will take a long time to get done. ironically i don't think this was he is credit service failure. the agents at bush residence said, hey the alarm doesn't work this is government failure. not them putting lipstick on this. tom: i understand that. you say we need a new alarm and finance system will get around to it. >> yeah. tom: at the same time. i know you like clancy. he seems like he knows what he

is doing. he knows where the bodies are, but he is also friends with these people that keep making mistakes and, because of civil service and government protection, i don't know what else it is nobody has been fired. >> well tom, he did let i think it was eight people go at the assistant director. i think -- tom: did they go or were they transferred? >> one was transferred and from what i heard the others were basically, shown the door and said, find something else to do. and, listen, your point is valid. i get it. there are, when you pick an insider, there will be loyalties there impossible to get past. you're absolutely right. but clancy did let go one individual who i know was a very close personal friend and even a bit after mentor to him. he came in had to kind of show the door as well. that couldn't have been comfortable. if you were going to pick an insider he is only guy you could have picked. he has a great reputation amongst the working agents.

tom: well, it is frustrating because i have great respect, i think most of us do, for the secret service. it is just simple things like the fence at the white house? i mean how hard is it to come up with a better security around the white house? >> yeah. tom: $8 million for a white house training house? you know things like that, i just pull my hair out. i go why don't they train in the real white house when the president and his family are not there? >> i ironically, tom you're doing public service here covering this story. i personally know people in the secret service feel like the media coverage is helping them clean up the agency and bureaucracy. so this is a good thing. you're bringing up lot of valid points. nobody will apologize for the white house finance disaster fence jumper, no one. there is no putting lipstick on this pig at all. this one, again i think this was more of a bureaucracy problem rather than a security problem. tom: i'm sure. >> i'm glad you're highlighting.

tom: i'm sure. dan, always great to talk to you the appreciate you coming on. >> thanks, tom. tom: you bet. meantime the irs, another one of our agencies we don't like as much, they're hung up on eight million people. they hung up on them. calling to get help on taxes. guess what the irs did? they still paid bonuses to irs workers. >> simple matter of not having enough people to answer the phones and provide services at our walk-in sites. as a result of the cuts in our budget. on bad days fewer than 40% of the calls are able to reach a live assistant. that was often after a 30-minute wait or longer.

just because i'm away from my desk doesn't mean i'm not working. comcast business understands that. their wifi isn't just fast near the router. it's fast in the break room. fast in the conference room. fast in tom's office. fast in other tom's office. fast in the foyer [pronounced foy-yer] or is it foyer [pronounced foy-yay]? fast in the hallway. i feel like i've been here before. switch now and get the fastest wifi everywhere. comcast business. built for business.

tom: here is a big name that you know. strong sales growth at domino's pizza. shares hitting brand new high, is $10 earlier. -- $110. shares up more than 30% compared to this time last year. good stock to put in your pocket. they're not picking up the phone at the irs. the commissioner is asking for more funding for customer service but don't you worry the irs will still pay bonuses. monica, i can't believe this story. they, he is crying for money but he pays bonuses? >> by the way i love that they refer to us taxpayers as customers like customer service for the taxpayer. tom: yeah. >> this is total coercion by

government. you must pay your taxes or we will put you in jail. tom: irs stands for, i'm really sorry. >> they're no so sorry. i'm really sorry that i owe so much taxes. this is another story of a very corrupt irs. we know about targeting scandal of conservative and religious groups under this administration. they're whining they don't have resources to enforce all the tax laws. of course, what else tom? they need more money in order to do that. the fact that they took their so-called limited resources and channeled it into bonuses because after all they really deserve them and union activity, well the taxpayers are going look, i have obamacare i have to worry about. all these other tax related things. there is nobody there to help me. tom: this is creating in my view, a war that is building between the taxpayer and government employees and irs is at the forefront of this. but, the concept of bonuses to government employees, i don't understand, unless you have some

budget number that i will give bonus if you reduce your spending. >> right. tom: that is what i'm for regarding government bonus. >> that is only incentive i want to see for bonuses. government across the board the problem with it there is no profit motive. so the only motive for government is either stay as entrenched bureaucracy or if you're elected to get reelected which means spend ever more money. there is no incentive like private business has to streamline operations and get rid of dead wait. that is the problem with government. tom: they won't do it. would i love to have them we give you a bonus if you reduce your spending. >> would be nice. tom: yeah. up next more on hillary clinton and conflict of interest. her foundation tied to russian money and uranium. think it will hurt her in 2016? >> when families are strong, america is strong. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman.

>> what difference at this point does it make? new york state is reinventing how we do business by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to grow at ny.gov/business

getting all the dirt out right now and she will be a saint next year? >> this is what carly fiorina says that is so important and why the messenger is so important. carly fiorina is a very accomplished and talented woman. i do not think she will be the nominee or vice-presidential nominee but here is a service she will provide to this republican field. she can attack hillary clinton way is the male candidates can't or won't 2. remember wreck running against her for the senate in new york? hit with taxes and charges because he simply tried to give her a piece of paper. a lot of male candidates won't want to take her on on these issues, she is not in any way shackled by those concerns she can go right at her. she has been fearless about doing it raising these issues and she will do a lot of a political blocking for the male candidates so they will be able to go forward and make the same attacks. >> carly fiorina call will suddenly she makes her points quickly, easily, almost what you

need to do in politics is bumper sticker level get right down to focusing on whatever the problem is. >> carly fiorina is a lot smarter than bumper sticker. she is able to make the case effectively. tom: being able to communicate in a way that people will listen to her. let's bring in senator john hogan, republican from north dakota. senator what is your reaction to the latest scandal about the uranium company russia has control over that hillary had to approve and all the donations? >> it is a concern because it is uranium and you are talking about russia buying this, and we are concerned about iran getting a nuclear bomb so this is the concern and we will see what transpired here and also there is going to have to be

disclosure on the part of the clinton foundation and i understand there are already mandates amending some of their returns. >> what is the buzz around the republican water cooler? like monica crowley was talking about is easy to look like the republicans are going to beat on her, and cause democrats not to hold their nose but circle the wagons. >> we have to take a very straightforward approach and say this is about disclosure, dealing with foreign governments, whether any role as secretary of state for as president but that is an e issue for the american people in the campaign. it is about approaching in a straightforward way. tom: lots of debate over the trans pacific partnership trade deal. what is your take on this trade deal?

yes or no? >> i think it will be good. it is about expanding trade growing our economy creating more jobs and opportunity but congress is moving on these important issues including things like trade to do just that get the economy growing and get people back to work. >> this is something again that is the right versus left you got the unions are absolutely opposed to this, they have been opposed to all the way back to nafta as far as trade deals go, president clinton signed nafta and they have been met at him ever since. will this be between democrats and republicans? >> we will try to hit the right balance, you saw the senate finance committee passed tpa and that included senator hatch and senator wide coming together on a compromise which we have to do, and it is good for the country and good for job creation.

tom: when it goes to the floor what do you expect? >> it will be challenging but the votes will be there to pass it. it will pass the house and as you see the president has said he supports it and will sign it. we are going to get a trade deal after all these years. >> is it because harry reid is no longer running the ship in the senate? >> we said at the outset my bill was the first in the senate the keystone pipeline we said we are going to go back to regular order and have an open amendment process and we will work to pass legislation in a bipartisan way and that is where we are doing. tom: is working. >> keep your fingers crossed. tom: thank you so much appreciate you coming on board today. the proposed comcast time warner merger in jeopardy? adam shapiro is here with the latest. adam: we have a former sec commissioner say on friday that

this thing if it went to a hearing would be dead and that is happening. plan b may already be in the works that contest if the proposed merger finally dies. according to wall street journal they are citing people familiar with the company. late wednesday federal communications commission staff barack obama recommending the agencies and the proposed merger between comcast and time warner to lead ministry of law judge for hearing pleas that former commissioner i mentioned said the kind of hearing is designed to kill a merger since those hearings can be long and drawn-out processes. at&t dropped its $39 billion deal with t mobile in 2011 when the fcc recommended a hearing and the justice department was drowning antitrust lawsuits misrepresented to us from time warner cable and comcast met with the justice department and fcc wednesday. comcast declined to comment beneath a written statement saying the company does not believe it is appropriate to share content of those meetings publicly. time warner told us we are not

commenting. $45 million on the table with this deal. tom: we know the fcc is three republicans, three democrats three democrats, two republicans is very political so what is the politics here? andreas lubitz adam: the issue is 57% of the broadband market would be controlled by this company and people opposed to that like content producers such as espn, fox a lot of companies waiting with the fcc saying this could be dangerous, we would have one company controlling 57% of the broadband deliveries. tom: the chairman of comcast is with the president, just saying. adam: how much did comcast donate to the obama administration reelection campaign? what happens to al sharpton if the deal doesn't go through? there were some allegations that he got the show at ennis nbc as part of a deal with comcast to

push all of this. tom: it will be interesting to see if it is dead or if it comes up with another life. thank you very much. the postal worker who led his gyrocopter on capitol hill congressman jason chase its says he should have been blown out of the air. what does judge andrew napolitano think of that? >> this is not good, people.

>> lighthouse is a drone strike launched in january against august in pakistan and adjourn until then american and italian hostage, judge andrew napolitano is here. good to see you. i know how you feel about this this we talked about this

american citizens being droned without their constitutional rights but it is war for have been's a, things happen. judge napolitano: no. we haven't declared war on pakistan. the federal statutes particularly the war powers resolution requires congressional approval to use the military. the president thinks he can get around that by putting military equipment in the hands of the cia. course never looked at this. when you look at this after he leaves office they will find all of this was unconstitutional. a italian citizen and the american citizen are the cause of action against the united states government for they're killing. american government has no business being there. sending the military or cia has no business telling people their under the law. unless and until congress declares war on pakistan the reason this happened without the president's authorization is

because the president told the prime minister of pakistan that he would stop sending drones to pakistan and apparently this slipped through the cracks. whitehouse is saying this particular drone was not authorized by the president. this is urgent legal territory which the courts have never really construed. i am painting a picture of fidelity to the constitution. the president if he were to address this would paint a picture of i want to keep you safe so i need the power to kill the bad guys no matter where they are. tom: to your point that the families of the people would diet would have a cause of action against the united states is there anybody else at the start the process to either make congress declare war which sounds like in your comments that that would solve all of this. is there somebody in congress or judiciary branch, you can't do

this anymore. judge napolitano: courts have no authority unless and until someone brings a proper case to them the injured party aside from these people that i did is the congress. the president, by the subterfuge of using the cia in civilian garb to fire military weapons. in virginia where the computer is engaged. the physical drone is not in virginia but the decision to dispatch it begins in virginia. and the congress the president has ceased it himself. congress could reserve this with two thirds of each house, and the fortitude to do this. tom: congressman jason chase says we should have shot down that postal worker, the guy who

pirated the gyrocopter into d.c. listen to what the congressman had to say. >> he should have been blown out of the air and very well could have been. >> should have been blown out of the year. >> if you're going to do that if it was up to me i would have taken care of the problem. tom: the flight restriction is you could be shot down if you go into it. judge napolitano: we all know congressman chavis because he has been on with all of us at fox and the number of years and is a nice guy that this is an example why he is in a legislative branch and not the executive branch. you don't use the most force possible. you use the least force necessary in order to stop a threat. in this case it was a natural force called gravity. this guy wasn't a threat to anybody but himself and the military authorities and civilian police authorities in d.c. happen to be today took a

look at him realize there were no weapons, he was running out of fuel flying very close to the ground, wasn't -- was on an art to land, there was no reason to assist gravity in bringing him down and deal with the messy aftermath of killing this guy who engage in a very extreme way of presenting a political view with which the president agrees by the way. i am glad the congressman is in congress and not the fbi or the military. tom: judge andrew napolitano good to see. back to your money gas up overnight, $2.49. let's bring in larry 11 in chicago, gas prices go up, we get designer gas in california, all this stuff will we see gas prices go up to $4 again? >> let's hope it is not $4 but certainly in 2015, oil prices are only 50% back from where they were in 2014 that you are

right, they are moving higher we're getting into what will be the summer driving season and that will probably artificially move gas prices higher and it gets more traders start buying gas contract but one thing to keep in mind, the unintended consequence because gas has come down it is of the last few days has come down so much, as you thes and trucks and cars are bought more than electric vehicles and has an unintended consequence that might be good for that industry but gas prices -- tom: the cure for high gas prices is high gas prices. with low gas prices their back driving again. driving prices -- >> it really, people people look at these things and causes them to have habits and certainly that is something to watch something people behind me pay attention to quite a bit. tom: let's hope it doesn't get

too hi, thanks for coming on. speaking of gas prices more and more people are trading in their hybrid cards for you guessed it as you thes. the reasons why coming up next. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day.

tom: we have new auto numbers for you 22% of people who own electric cars have traded in their cars, their vehicles for suvs. so are they unhappy with these hybrids? are the batteries giving them a tough time? >> pretty good consumer people would like to get electric cars and hybrids but they are still expensive. we were really scared, that 6 of gas would be a persistent threat. this is more expensive than

regular cars and you can get an suv toyota prius cost as much as a toyota ford. you pay $700 on fuel if you by the prius. and something more functional, people move into that. essential for gas prices the hybrids are concerned there are no tax incentives on some. law places the way they're hov access as well. electric cars have that now but it is more than the jump to a hybrid. there's a core market for hybrid, but they're scared into them. tom: we don't know. they can stay low forever. this is a consequence of people going to suvs, or people figured out a little bit less gas mileage isn't really hitting their budget that much. >> if you want the car you want

your going to get it. people are willing to pay that. and gas prices and car sales, once the gas prices get cheap people -- that will save them incredible amounts of money. small car sales are down come at least flat this year, and they just explode. tom: i look at these numbers and the suvs and pickup trucks are the ones that americans are buying. >> the other factor is, at 20% they were 5 years ago. tom: thank you. appreciate your comments too. much more on the bombshell development involving hillary clinton and her foundation. did henry will join us as we kick off a brand new hour of varney two minutes from now.

tom: is a bit two hostages, one american, one italian killed in a drone strike against al qaeda targets in pakistan in january. warren weinstein and an american contractor in pakistan kidnapped by al qaeda in 2011. the italian hostage, g of money --giovanni lo porto. judge andrew napolitano have a lot to say about this. >> government has no business being there unless the cia had no business killing people under the law. not talking about politics but the law. unless and until congress declares war on pakistan and hasn't done it. the reason this happened without the president's authorization is the president told the prime minister of pakistan that he would stop spending drones to pakistan and apparently this one

slipped through the cracks. tom: ed henry is here. what is your reaction to this? >> on the positive side for this is a tragedy and he face the music today in the white house briefing room, this is a mistake, it is tragic and he takes responsibility as commander-in-chief but judge andrew napolitano said some things the-to the tracks in terms of responsibility here that this drone strike apparently wasn't supposed to happen, did happen and also took out an american and italian, innocent civilians. obviously terrorists were targeted, the president faced criticism for not being tough enough on the terrorists. here is a case where he is trying to going into mistake is made. the broader point is this is the consequence when you meet with the drone war instead of ground troops. the president has said all-around world are not putting u.s. ground troops because of what happened in the bush administration. that has been debated for years now. these drones strikes, he has taken out a lot of terrorists

and has also got usama bin laden but on the other hand innocent civilians get taken out sometimes. this is not perfect. >> what about item to authorize this? >> it was the pentagon and judge andrew napolitano put his finger on it does something slipped through the cracks. if you go back to year-and-a-half ago the yacht new york times along out tate, pages and pages they spent months investigating and there was a secret kill list and the president was the ultimate arbiter and he wrestled with the ethics of this to his credit but still move forward. if he is the ultimate arbiter and the pentagon did something went wrong. tom: we have bombshell new developments involving hillary clinton and her foundation. go to d.c. for the details. >> the new york times reports today that while hillary clinton was the country's top diplomat the state department and other government agencies approved the deal but gave the russian government control law and one fifth of all uranium production

capacity in the united states. at the same time the chairman of the companies and sold the iranian production interest to the russians used his family foundation to make contributions to the clinton foundation that totaled $2.35 million. in 2010 senator john nobotasrasso sounded the alarm. let's put that on the screen. he said, quote as you know russia has a disturbing record of supporting nuclear programs in countries that are openly hostile for the united states. and great odds with national security. back in 2010. the washington post took a broader look at bill clinton's cash intake from the clinton foundation, the former president paid $26 million in speaking fees by groups that were also major donors to the family's

donation. tom: it is hard to deal with, that is not the only problem for hillary. reuters is reporting her foundation will be filed tax returns due to over and underreporting millions of dollars in donations. liz macdonald is on this and going back and refiling. liz: possibly in six years in 2010, in 2012 there was zero donations reported in preceding years, foreign governments gave tens of millions of dollars to the foundation and they are finding it was false wrong and they should have said yes and we should have gone the influx from foreign governments. tom: not just a question about ethics and morals and everything else but the clinton foundation has that accountants. liz: they didn't break out the

names of foreign governments or their donors in these tax returns for the non-profit and undercut hillary clinton police now say in what peter schweitzer has been reporting, absurd conspiracy theory is you have to refile, it is extremely unusual to have to refile five years worth of tax returns for your foundation. a lot of pros of not seen that at all. again and again where is the tipping point in all of this when the public says something is going wrong here? this is before peter schweitzer's book comes out. tom: nothing passes the smell test. that is the problem with all this. the irs has a statute of limitations that unless there's fraud or unless there is 25% or more of an air which is why there is a supply is it is a three year deal going back means the error was bigger than 25% or there was fraud involved.

liz: we know the clinton foundation has a lot of people on the campaign. should the irs, this is by the way an internal audit not yet an irs audit. the irs take a look at this non-profit? should the federal election commission look at this nonprofit? those are the issues as well. tom: the law was lerner group's not only knows what operates. liz: it is the dodge city of tax policy. tom: stocks bounced back after disappointing economic numbers we are up 42, a little bit of a gain, not much, it has the plus sign in front of the. we get the nasdaq, this is trading above its all-time record close. that was in 2000 so we are back above 5044 which we will see if we can stay there for the

trading day, disappointing sales and new homes hitting home builder stocks, pulte, taylor, all of those higher profits at dunkin donuts as the company raised its forecast big winner for duncan doughnuts, 8% increase, gas up over night, now at $2.49 is the national average of regular gas. let's stay on politics and switch to iran because president obama is committed to an iran nuclear deal, he wants that deal. wall street journal's dan henninger goes further and says the democrats don't iran. what do you mean by that? >> they politically unknown iran. >> we had a compromise bill in the senate introduced by senator bob corker. democrats at the white house's insistence so watered it down that so embraced president obama's iran framework that up to that point the democratic

senators we had some problems with iran, remember all that? no longer. they wrapped their arms around a nuclear deal land rather arms around barack obama and i am arguing they novel leone that deal landed implications but everything else iran is doing in the middle east end if it hits the fan overs air with iran at the center of it i think the democrats are going to suffer the same sort of the jimmy carter did with the iranian hostage crisis in 1980. amazing they are back in the same spot. tom: i thought the polling was the american public by and large margin doesn't like this, doesn't like our nuclear deal with iran. >> it is like obamacare. democrats embraced that, passing the bill to find out to read what was in it and they're doing the same thing with the iran deal putting all their trust in the president to take into a place that they don't understand. we as the opinion leaders got

this letter on april 13th from dianne feinstein saying i strongly urge you to support the framework and negotiations and strive to. together. dianne feinstein has always been one of the levelheaded people from the intelligence committee in the senate but if she has gone to the white house with that then whatever comes next with iran either because of the nuclear deal or what they're doing in yemen war in iraq is going to come back. liz: five major democrats including tim kane and chuck schumer raised enough questions of substance about the deal. do we even know what will be in the deal? obamacare, let's pass it to see what is in it is that the issue with this deal? >> yes, i think it is. obviously a work in progress. i don't think there's a test the iranians have said so. the thing they build it around the idea that if something goes wrong with iran they can impose what they call quote snapback

provisions. snapped back sanctions is a phrase with no meaning. there is no such thing as snapback sanctions. liz: couldn't china and russia just say forget it? we won't put those sanctions back in place? >> absolutely. i think hillary clinton and democratic candidates in 2016 are going have iran looming over ritter shoulder for the next 19 months especially if they have eaten their words and pretend they never said anything. phil: tom: dan henninger kimono nice to see. we have the line of the rest of the hour. is the biggest money fight in boxing history many pacchio versus floyd may weather? is boxing bag? report later this hour. shopping at ikea, harrowing experience for some but could it put your relationship with your significant other at risk? we will discuss it but next on

leader than a follower. if the president wants to step up and do trade agreements i think we should be helping to have that done. trade is bigger across the united states and this program could increase the business we do by $77 billion. we are talking 500,000 new job opportunities for americans. in south dakota it is the $3.4 billion activity right now. we have 124,000 people will line on trade. i want to see more trade. we can compete with anybody in the world but we have got have an opportunity and a fair trade agreement. that is the reason congress will allow the president to do the best pecan but not just this president but the next president as well. this is a six year deal. tom: lot of economists will agree with you on that point. i know the unions don't like it but it does create more jobs here even though we are shipping some to other parts of the

and went in there. that is when everything went kind of downhill for him. tom: what was it, what was the autopsy? was embolism of some kind? >> yes, it was an embolism to the lung. tom: those, are hard to, sometimes to predict. young people can get them. we hear about the fact that sometimes flying you, long flights that there is a danger of that, with some people. so, without any, without any warning, what is the problem though that happened with southwest and why are you suing them? >> you know the flight attendants when my husband went into the restroom at final descent, he, started moaning and groaning and yelling pause, in pain. and there was no verbal communication. the flight attendants at that time, never assessed my husband. they called the pilots, and, told the pilots that we had an

unruly passenger on the flight. and, then the, then, the pilot, at that time called the ground to call for sheriffs, to meet the aircraft. and then flight attendants, did finally get up to peek on my husband, and he was hunched over. they could see the top of his head, according to police reports and he was crying and whimpering. and, and, clearly he was in distress. and, the flight attendants did nothing. they went back to their seats. tom: what make this is also unique is that you work as a flight attendant. >> correct. tom: what is the procedure? what are you supposed to do? >> first of all a flight attendant southwest airlines, safety is our number one for our passengers and -- tom: how would you know that the person's unruly versus having a medical problem? what is -- >> well he was, clearly when somebody is moaning groaning

crying, there is never any verbal communication. usually, there is verbal communication to, for us to be able to identify, if he is unruly passenger. but the signs that my husband was giving, clearly he was a passenger that was in distress and needed help. and he did not get that. >> here is what southwest had to say. they have given us a statement that says, according to our crew reports appears to be unfortunate medical event that we believe our flight attendants handled appropriately and professionally. what is your response to their statement? >> first of all they never even said it was a medical event. they categorized it as unruly passenger. they even deplaned the aircraft before checking on my husband. he was without oxygen for 33 minutes. they left him in the bathroom, without even checking on him. then deplaned 150 passengers.

the sheriff, not southwest the sheriffs are the one that called 911 to get paramedics did to come. and it took 30 minutes for the paramedics to get to the plane. and that is why my husband was without oxygen for 33 minutes. maybe even longer. >> all right. >> because he went silent in the lavatory from what the flight attendants said in the police report. tom: kelly we wishing you well. we thank you for coming on and explaining your side of this story as well. >> thank you so much for having me. tom: you bet. >> thank you. tom: we have trial attorney mark lanier is here. what is your assessment of this? >> well i think southwest airlines got some real exposure. it's a tough world we live in post-9/11 with airplanes especially and there is a degree to which the flight attendants have discretion but this is what a jury system is for. someone needs to hear all of these facts, a neutral true neutrals to need to hear all the

out whether the flight attendants crossed the line. >> does it help her case she is southwest flight attend r attendant? >> is it. >> in some way it helps. and some ways it hurts. i would show the jury she is not doing this cavalierly. she is aware flight attendants have to make the call. with are is the evidence that the gentleman was up really? >> what is the law to say if pilots or attendants supposed to do someone is in distress as this gentleman was? >> their duty is respond in reasonably prudent flight attendant did. that is the standard but nobody stashes that. is he unruly? is he fighting? he is yelling? is he drunk, brandishing something as a weapon. that is one set of circumstance. ultimately america this is why you it is good you have juries. tom: by the way we should mention to the audience that richard, the husband was on this program on this network a

number of times in his capacity as a financial analyst. i, pulmonary embolisms though, i don't know, the outcome would have changed even if they did try and help him? >> yeah. 33 minutes without oxygen, that is a tough thing. tom: i mean, how are they going to fix pulmonary embolism in an airplane? >> i believe you know, you're going to have some medical technicians who will testify to this and doctors. tom: yeah. >> but i believe you can force oxygen into the system through cpr. >> frequent occurrence on airplanes. shouldn't airlines be accustomed to that? >> yeah. tom: you hear about that. breaking loose and so forth. we have the nfl one billion dollars. the players are saying that is not enough. others are looking at this going you knew what you were getting into. what is your take? >> you know, i think that the settlement now is fair. it was originally 750 million. the judge made them tweak it up a little bit and take a cap off.

the allegations, we had a chance to be involved in those cases. the allegations is not just you knew what you were getting into but really the players didn't because the players were under the understanding, once you get a concussion, doctor says you're okay you can to back in. tom: this reminds me of people who smoked in 1955 now have cancer. i didn't know it was dangerous. but the new ones still are suing. is this, what about a kid who has got a career, starts in the nfl this next season, is he going to be -- >> no excuses for him. absolutely no excuses because everybody knows. tom: all right. last question, michael brown's family, filing a lawsuit against the city of ferguson. boy, you've got doj. you have all the autopsies. every kind of investigation possible on this it came undo to where michael brown did not do hands up, don't shoot. do they have a case? >> i think they have got a case. they have got a case because the city of ferguson has documented history of racial profiling of

racial abuse. the city manager had to back down. the, the whole structure of government is messed up. tom: yeah, but they're going to say he attacked police officer. >> and the nice part about this, see i'm a believer in the jury system. the nice part about this you've got fair judges in st. louis county, missouri. i know them personally. they're outstanding judges. they will 'em panel a fair jury. let the jury hear all the data. tom: that will be tricky part to, find impartial jury in that area. >> exactly. exactly. tom: mark, great. after the break "new york times," "new york times" is questioning money that was flowing into hillary clinton's foundation. brent bozell media critic is up next. two more episodes of "strange inheritance" with jamie colby, 9:00 eastern time. take a look. >> a century old amusement park that could be loss forever. >> we're dying on the vine down here. >> our time is over.
