melissa: the white house come mening on sunday's deadly attacks in garland, texas, and white house claims it was behind it. here is white house press secretary josh earnest moments ago. >> that involves more than authenticating that the claim published yesterday originated from isil. the analysts want to review whether the claim is accurate and if so, at what level isil may have known or potentially even sanctioned this attempted attack. melissa: also today a grim online warning of more attacks on american soil. the post by itself described jihadist claims credit for sunday's attack in texas and says 71 trained soldiers are waiting out to carry out more just like it. unverified post claims that isis has sleeper cells in 15 states including virginia, maryland illinois, california and

michigan. i'm joined by judy miller of the manhattan institute. also a fox news contributor. todd starnes fox news radio, along with matt welch of "reason" magazine. do you believe these claims? >> yeah i tend to believe them because we've heard similar claims from others. the adl said from the start of the year until now there have been 36 arrests of americans linked to various plots, either at home or abroad. i think that everyone is very worried about the explosion of social media and the impact it is having on wannabe jihadis. melissa: todd, to be clear, they're claiming they're behind these attacks. it doesn't mean they were in on the planning necessarily. but at the very least it is isis inspired. that's scary. >> that's true. and look, we don't know, they may be blowing smoke up their hookah we don't know. the cold reality we know there are 50 cases fbi is looking at.

at least 50 states. we don't know how many cases in the states. we do know there are homegrown elements and looking watching so-called freedom fighters overseas and they're being inspired, these young, these young people, 17 18, 19 20-year-old times. we saw unfortunately what happened in texas. melissa: mat, i want to ask you about this one. isis one more of the major foreign threats. defense secretary ash carter discussed on capitol hill. he is making a case for more military spending. let's bring in blake best of your memory man as well with more details on this one. >> good afternoon, melissa. defense secretary ash carter called for multiyear spending proposal as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff issued a warning to the panel. mart din dempsey cautioned against retreat in spending and policy. this is the most uncertain time he's seen in 40 years wearing a uniform. dempsey pointed to number and differing kinds of threats that popped up all at once. >> we have state issues with state actors and we've got a

large body of non-state actors al qaeda, isil other groups that have aligned themselves. for the first time in my career they're both manifesting themselves simultaneously. this is not a time to be withdrawing from the world. >> now as for carter he was pressed over several foreign policies concerns. the defense secretary said a military option remains on the table for iran, in case it is necessary if nuclear negotiations fall flat. carter also requested $5.3 billion in the fight against isis. about a quarter of that, going to training iraqi and moderate syrian ground forces. melissa? melissa: blake, thank you so much for that. handle with care. this market may be too hot. warning from janet yellen put stocks in the negative territory. the fed chief detailed a risk from too high stock prices at a conference this morning. >> highlight the equity market valuations at this point generally are quite high. they're a potential dangers

there. melissa: oil, also trading near fresh five-month high. eia report showing a larger than expected decline in inventories boosting crude to 62.58 a barrel earlier in the session. defend five days and counting. that is how long hillary clinton managed to dodge the national media since announcing her campaign. to put that in perspective no major presidential candidate has ever gone longer than two days without doing an interview after launching their bid. meanwhile multimillion-dollar donor exxonmobil quietly pulls its support from the clinton foundation after consistently giving since 2009. back to my panel to discuss this one. matt welch, what do you think about exxon getting out? what does that say? they gave between one and five million dollars to the foundation last year. >> it is toxic environment to be involved with the clinton foundation. it will not get any better for the next 12 to 18 months. this is single biggest

investigation area for opposition researchers besides hillary clinton's vast trove of missing emails. people don't want to be near that. those who want to be near that, are those that want foundation to into davos-like elite foundation. that is the purpose. foundation, that is really true. judy, announces, 25 days goes by, avoiding smead media like the plague. maybe that is smart strategy. >> tells me she doesn't have to. bill says, gosh we have to give expensive speeches to pay the bills. melissa: i never knowingly did anything i shouldn't have done. >> never knowingly. so far getting awith it, even though her support is dropping among independents, it is, it has gone up among democrats. melissa: todd, what do you think? >> bill said don't aske, i just work here folks. that is what he said. meant as a joke ha-ha, but really not all that there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. had this been a republican oh, my goodness we would not hear

the end of it. mainstream media at this point they're willing to give hillary clinton a pass. melissa: they are for now but as she continues to avoid everybody, she does risk alienating people who support her. "new york times" is not on her side. >> hillary clinton is not loved by media. conservatives get the wrong. barack obama had special glow. thrill down the leg. we've known hillary for 25 years. there is no new thrill involved with that. i think we've seen "new york times" among other people have done really critical reporting of her. we'll see more as we go on. it is a tough season to be a frontrunner in this political environment. melissa: thanks guys. new developments in the fatal germanwings crash that killed 150 people. french investigators say the copilot who took down the plane practiced descent of earlier flight the same day. i'm joined by greg palkot with more. what are these new findings? >> melissa, those of us who were covering this crash thought we heard it alls but believe it or not another very eerie finding. that is the that the copilot

apparently before it happened rehearsed that crash. remind your viewers what exactly happened. andreas lubitz the copilot we're talking about, on h flight from barcelona to dusseldorf the second leg of a round-trip that day for the crew, he kicked basically the captain out of the cockpit. he locked him out. he set the plane on to 100-foot altitude automatic pilot, sent the plane down crashing it leaving all those dead. now new indications we're getting from french investigators is, on the first leg from dusseldorf to barcelona lubitz tested out five times very briefly that minimum altitude setting. the rehearsal lasted about five minutes when the captain stepped out of the cockpit. and this time lubitz didn't lock the door. finally, melissa also, as the plane was approaching barcelona at the time the plane was already gradually descending, he tested and reset this automatic

pilot so quickly, that no one noticed anything was going on basically a dry run for this terrible accident melissa. melissa: wow. i mean it says a lot about the pilot's state of mind, right? >> yeah. this further fills out the picture. and the picture is, that andreas lubitz, with deliberation, with planning, was a part of this accident. we were in dusseldorf at the time of the crash. we know the police pulled out evidence from his house showing he already had suicidal tendencies. he was studying suicide techniques. he was studying cockpit security. now there could be broader implications not just about cockpit security but broader implications for expected raft of lawsuits from families of the victims. including by the way american victims. the charge being made that parent company of germanwings, lufthansa knew about his mental problems, should have done more. apparently we're learning now,

melissa there was a method to his madness. back to you. melissa: wow really incredible. greg, thank you so much for that report. the nfl finally releasing the report on "deflate-gate." the results don't bode well for quarterback tom brady. oh no! as if we weren't paying enough a dozen states thinking about raising taxes again. are you kidding me? more of your money coming up. ♪

melissa: breaking news right now. the nfl is releasing the official report on "deflate-gate." the league finding it quote, more probable than not that the new england patriots deliberately deflated footballs in the afc championship game against the indianapolis colts. the report goes on to say that quarterback tom brady was quote, generally aware of inappropriate activities. a little different story than what we heard from tom brady back in january. >> i feel like i've always

played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. i believe in fair play. i respect the league. and you know everything that they're doing to try to create very competitive playing field for all the nfl teams. it's, a very competitive league. and you know, every team is, you know, trying to do the best they can to win every week. i believe in fair play. and always believed in that for as long as i'm playing. melissa: here now is dan kaplan, from the sports business journal. i'm so disappointed in this report because it is like well it seems like he probably knew but we can't say that definitely. what an annoying outcome. >> well, you may think it is an annoying outcome but i think it is a little more concrete than many of us were expecting. the patriots put up a good defense. they, brady said nothing to see here. kraft at super bowl said, he will want apologies when the report is in. this accuses two of their personnel of deflating the balls.

all but says brady lied during the interview and directed the two personnel almost assuredly to deflate these balls. this is somewhat damning. melissa: i guess, but i'm not the only one that's disappointed in how vague it is. bob kraft saying to say we're disappointed in it is fonds which do not include incontrovertible or hard evidence of deflation of footballs at afc championship game would be a gross understatement. >> he also said that they did their scientific studies and the report didn't do any scientific studies. there is 100 page addendum to the report filled with scientific studies that they did. i mean look, bob kraft will have to do what he has to do, has to say to defend the brand of the patriots, but you know look i would expect pretty severe punishment coming down from the nfl for this. melissa: is that bottom line, as a result of this report? what kind of punishment? >> that is the monkey in the room right now.

but, i would certainly see game suspensions for brady and pretty hefty fine if not for him, for the franchise. melissa: you think he will get suspended from games as a result of this. >> i do. melissa: do you think he will fight that? because, it looks like, i mean, there sit necessarily any direct evidence. they're saying he probably knew. >> right. well look, unless they're going to have camera on these people at all times the investigator has to, has to work in part from, evidence that is not as direct as you would like. that said i mean if you read through this report i mean the text between these two player personnel, it was pretty clear they were being directed by brady. brady declined to turn over his phone to the investigators. and, remember tom brady was the one in 2006 who insisted that ball inflation deflation, be taken out of the hands of the league, put into the hands of the teams. melissa: dan, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. melissa: ready, set, hike. a dozen states are mulling
