this coming after bryson involvement of two hit and run over the weekend. bryson suffered a seizure and can't recall all of the details involving his car accident while visiting los angeles. in a memorandum to dr. flank. i notified president obama this evening, i am taking a medical leave of absence and focus my tages on the health issues that arose over the weekend. during the period of my illness, i will not perform the duties and functions of my operation. my first assistant, you will act in my stead in the duration of my absence. the president is secretary about secretary bryson. president obama's thoughts with him during this time. >> obviously concerned about the incident and secretary bryson's health-related issues

that played a role in the incident andy woor still gathering information about it. >> in the meantime the white house and commerce department are trying to get all of the facts in the accident and what will go on in secretary bryson's issue. he could face one according to police. he could face a hit and run change. we'll continue to follow the developments as they occur. >> kellie wright, thank you for the update . developing story. late in the night swat teams fired tear gas and literally tore a home apart in alabama. they believed that the man accused of killing three people was inside. after several hours officers came up empty. they have arrested two people accused of hindering in the search. police say they will resume their search this morning.

betwist what is happening with the secretary of a cabinet in the california area. leak gate and unemployment and a coup elf people you see on the channel a lot made a great observation. the white house denies that the leaks came from them, and yet they brought up a great point. david sanger interviewed former advisors to the current white house. where are the denials and please don't write this? one of the things that is missing in this case that we have saw repeatedly in the bush years when national security secrets were disclosed is indications that the administration pleaded with the publications not to run the stuff. >> let me say something about the president. the new york times, he could

call them up. they call fox all of the time. they could have called up as president kennedy said do not do jay carny could have called them. is there any evident. of course they do. and it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck. >> first indication that they were instrumental and didn't want the stories. they were sourced. people from the administration were sourced in the arcticles with their own names. i am not sure it meshes if they call dump the story when they had already begin the interviews. three dozen people from the white house were on record. some listed as advisors, senior administration and what not, the reason they didn't make the phone call, the white house wanted the story out there. and we had michael goodwin on the program he wouldn't be

surprised if the president of the united states talked to the reporters. >> to be totally candid a sunday story from david sanger. they were ask to keep information about the stuxnet virus out. >>ud would think that the advisors to the president would keep him insulated and not speaking to reporters. and donald rums feld will be on the broadcast. we have a lot of questions for him about this issue and the tsa. he had a pat down recently. he will have thoughts on where they should go forward. >> in the school in coney island. a kindergarten case. they would sing lee greenwood's song "god bless the usa". apparently after they sang it they got a standing ovation.

the principal felt there was culture insensitivity and the words of the song were too old for five and six year olds to understand. >> the school is ps 90 and principal's name is greta hawkins. "god bless the usa" still out. justin bieber baby, baby now out. so appropriate. >> and it is derogatory to girls and so much less offensive than "god bless the usa". >> i didn't know there was more than baby, baby in the lyrics. it is a pretty good song. >> the announcement came from mayor bloomburg who wanted to ban large sugary drinks and then announced that the school would ban sport sugary singers like justin bieber in the event.

there seems to be a disconnect. at this school every morning they sing "america the beautiful", every morning they sing that and plus, they do the pledge of allegiance as well the principal is a jehovah witness and doesn't stand to the flag of any nation. june 12th is a ceremony and queens councilman said call on my facebook page. we are protesting to rally against it now. yesterday, sadly, i was going back and forth between my radio show and you and the view. and tell us what happened in the same story. >> we debated on the view whether or not it was a good idea. "god bless the usa" being banned. really? >> the people there think it is cultural sensitive. it is offensive not to sing it. isn't it america.

come on. apparently the pledge of allegiance and sing "america the beautiful" for commencement and it was traditional and they got a standing ovation because they waved american flags and many of the schools are immigrants. >> five years old. >> but how. wait, wait . >> the pledge of allegiance and "america the beautiful" and this. >> they do it only at commencement. >> no, they do the pledge of allegance. >> and there are so many objects. >> let me bring. >> how could she be fighting on you this? barbara walters read the words of the lee greenwood lyrics and indicated they were too adult for kindergarteners. in this day and age kids are exposed to a heck of a lot more than a lee greenwood

tune. >> i remember watching brin brian's song. >> and i am watching him in slow mo. >> and now barbara walters to talk it out with. >> good thing you wear brian picalo. >> good news, justin bieber is out . the bad news is lee greenwood. >> and i didn't have to kiss joy bejah. >> that is good news. >> coming up on "fox and friends", it is not illegal to shoot a cop? this protect the people or go too far? we report and you decide. >> and the left, underdogs and party of the people and our next guests said hardly. he should know he was born in the left wing of politics and his information is stunning. we'll explain coming up.

affiliates ever ask hard question. to his shock. wdbj in western virginia had one economy where the president thought about it and didn't like it and gave his answer and it involving spinning. >> mr. president. last time you visited the area, one of the things you told us f. they voted you in office you would think about them every day. unemployment is over 15 percent. why should they rey elect you and give you another four years. >> obviously it is a huge challenge since i was last in the region. we have gone through the worst financial crisis since the great depression and everybody has been impacted by you know, the economic crisis that followed. the good news is, that we are starting to see progress. for example, one of the things that i talked about in that region was the possibility of

us really doubling down on clean energy and winds and solar and a huge opportunity for rural communitis and double our invest clean energy. >> he didn't answer the question. look unemployment is so high here, what happened to the campaign. the great energy thing starting to pan out and green energy is something we will continue to push not only in southern virginia but all over the country. and so those facts and figures in martinville. unemployment is 15.7 . national is.2 and people are struggling in that region and interesting to hear the reaction to the president's response and whether or not that is good enough to vote them in. maybe clean energy is the way to go. >> circle that on the map big-time.

not only electorally. he has to oner if tim cane is going to beat joe jalon. they are one point away. >> why di you go to wisconsin? >> you have to understand how busy i am, >> really. you were fund raising in new york and flew to los angeles and then you golfed all day. >> and right. and giving endorsements. and i think it is yourr definition of in or busy. >> he's busy? >> and so is our next guest. getting hot in the sunshine state. florida and the united states locked in a struggle because of the florida trying to make sure no illegal voters are voting. >> anding us from miami is florida governor rick scott.

rickwhy do you have a problem with the federal government on this. >> it is a no brainer. we don't want nonu.s. citizens voting. before the debate is over. we found 100 noncitizens on our voters roles . 50 voted in a recent election. i want to make sure that florida voters that have a right to vote are not deluded by nonu.s. citizens. i asked for the database which we are entitled to from homeland security to make sure nonu.s. citizens are not on the voters rolls and they haven't given it to us for nine months and now justice department saying we are doing something wrong. >> we want to make sure our voters vote but nonu.s. citizens don't. >> that cancelled out a vote of a legal citizen and i can understand that. but governor, why is the federal government standing

against you and saying florida you are wrong? what is the mot? >> i don't know. this is not a partisan. this is a republican, democrat and protecting the right of u.s. citizens and not diluting their votes. when nonu.s. citizen register to rote it is illegal and a crime. and shouldn't be happening here. and we are focused on jobs and fix our voters rolls and they are trying to stop us. it doesn't make sense. >> are we spending taxpayer dollars for all of the lawsuits. >> absolutely . what is so frustrating. we are sitting here trying to watch how we pay down our debt and do the right things for the citizen of our state. the federal government said you can't do that and we'll sue you. it doesn't make sense. >> you are factored in as the governor of the state to

balance the books. you will say what do you have against the three groups. how much money is there and what is the reality? >> yeah, you know, here's the way i ran on campaign to get the state back to work. how do you do that? reduce tax and regulation and treat businesses like you want them in our state. our unemployment rate is going down faster. we reduced regulation and do all of the things the federal government should be doing but not doing. at the federal level we have the highest corporate tax rate and more regution and they are killing american jobs. these jobs are moving over seas. i want them in florida . we are doing the right thing. the federal government has to change their action. >> i understand you are going to have hearings on the stand your ground law. a task force is opening up

hearings not far from where the trayvon martin. there is a poll out that shows floridians do support the stand your ground law? how do you feel about it? >> i am a supporter of the second amendment. it is a tragedy what happened to trayvon martin. losing your 17 year old son is horrible. i brought in a new state attorney who makesure should justice will prevail and have due process for george zimmerman. i do every day talk to citizens and get their view of how things are happen get data and use the data and allow the citizens to come in and talk and go around the states and listen. if we need to change we'll change it. i believe in second amendment and stand your ground law. we should look at these things. governor rick scott thank you so much. any time line on the lawsuits.

when will we get rezution for this before the november election? >> i hope so. elections sometimes are close. we don't want what is happening here. we don't want nonu.s. citizens on the rolls and i will get it done as quickly as i can. >> wall street journal said your land is bought up by venezuela and brazil. is that concerning. >> it is a big opportunity. i have done five trade mission and brazil is a big trading partner . 3000 brazilians that live here and investing in the state and it is outstanding. >> governor of the great state of florida rick scott. thank you very much. >> thank you. a dozen of minutes after the hour. and how would you like a pension of $100,000 a year. we have startling statistics of where and >> is there a leak in the white house?

urge holder to comply with the house subpoena. that means identifying who at main justice authorized this scheme and who tried to cover it up. that is the substance for the politics. democrats say this is a republican witch hunt designed to inflict maximum damage on the president. the subpoena demands communication between 15 top doj officials, as well as the justice department and the white house. the contempt effort is definitely major escalation. some believe it's a negotiating tactic, a strategy to get doj's attention saying yes, the house is serious. many believe the white house neither did she the white house nor the gop want to go to the mat on this. dangerous politically. the attorney general has a week to comply, but again, today many questions on the hill. back to you. >> brian: good job. thanks. we'll find out how this goes and how far it goes. time to bring in laura ingraham to react to that story. how far do you think the showers going to go with this contempt charge?

>> i think they will vote to hold him in contempt and this story, as you've been covering it and it was originally broken by cbsn by sheryl atkinson. in february of 2011 forward are the documents that the house has been trying to get their hands on. those are the documents, thousands of them apparently, that have not been turned over yet. they have turned over quite a bit of material. but it's that time frame after the story was broken that we want to see what exactly happened at the justice department? was there some attempt to cover up? what really happened in fast and furious and why the foot dragging? as you know, eric holder last week was shown one of the e-mail s by jason chafif that said fast and furious. he said no, that's not really fast and furious. jason said, well, it actually says fast and furious on the e-mail. so how do you have basically

plausible denyability here. this will be interesting. >> steve: the house wants over 100,000 documents that he still has somewhere in a closet at the department of justice. laura, you're an expert at the law because you're a lawyer, wouldn't it be easy just for the attorney general to claim privilege and say, look, there is some stuff in will i can't release. and then he wouldn't have this headache. >> yeah. he could have made a klim of privilege, but that's a very broad claim to claim that all the documents past february of 2011 are somehow privileged. once he started off down the roofed releasing some of these e-mail, the internal deliberations were on the claim of executive privilege, i don't know. but i do know that now that they've reloosed some of these documents, it begs the question, what happened after february of 2011?

what are you afraid of revealing to the public? if you're not worried about it, then say that. but if it were my justice department, if i were attorney general, i'd love to be, by the way -- if i were attorney general and this happened, heads, first of all, would have already rolled. and it would have been this is an outrage. we're going to get to the bottom of this, and without compromising executive deliberations, you have to have justice for the family of brian terry. thousands of guns walked across the border. this has been a bizarre story from the very beginning. when this first broke and i first had sheryl on my radio show, it all seemed very odd to me, the entire trajectory of this needs to be fully vetted for the public to see. >> gretchen: let's look at a new poll because some people will find this interesting that a third of all union members now support mitt romney. what are we to make of that? >> maybe in the end, union

members understand that the more that business is demonized in the united states, the more we hear politicians like the president saying, well, there will be time for them to make profits. now is not the time, maybe more of those folks believe that the old political allegiances that our fathers and maybe grandfather high school to the democrats hasn't really delivered that type of economic growth that benefits everybody. union members and nonunion members. i think a little bit of economic reality is setting in for people across the old demographic lines and across union households. i think that's a good thing for everybody. >> brian: i want to bring to you new york in brooklyn where a jehovah's witness principal, i believe her religion play has role in this, decided "god bless the usa" would not be a song the five-year-olds in their moving up ceremony could sing so she stopped it. she said, i'll put in justin bieber singing "baby, baby," which is our anthem and has no role in this story.

gretchen debated this on "the view." let's look and let's comment. >> the principal there thinks this is culturally insensitive. i say it's offensive to not sing it anymore. isn't this america? come on. [ applause ] apparently they sing "america the beautiful." this was just for commencement time and it was traditional and they said they got a standing ovation every time the kids did it because they waved american flags. many of the kids who go to the school are immigrants. >> and you can teach your children pride. at five years old. >> the pledge of allegiance, then america the beautiful, then this? >> they only did the song at commence commencement. >> steve: apparently the nature of new york was watching that because right afterwards, he came out and he said, you know what, we're not going to have

the kids sing bieber, but we're not going to have the lee greenwood song played either. >> i'm trying to figure this out. we're banning certain size sodas and lee greenwood? first of all, gretchen, did you get any type of battle pay for going into "the view"? i was trying to hear you over the din of the ladies, oh, my goodness, of that hard to understand. >> gretchen: you got to speak up or don't get a word in. >> i'm glad you didn't make any assad jokes with barbara. glad that didn't happen. i think this is the kind of thing that drives people of both political parties really nuts. maybe we could have done god bless jehovah. would this have made the principal happy? you guya great feature on this yesterday when you had that little student on singing, that was great. we loved it. but look, the bottom line is this principal represents the angry left in the united states,

really, because she was out there saying a short time ago that, well, it used to be the principals at this school system were all white and jewish and this is -- basically there is a new game in town and there are a lot more like me coming, or something vaguely -- >> gretchen: she's under investigation for saying that, actually. >> yeah, anti-semitic. if that's true, that certain israeli a horrible thing to say. so that's who this woman is. but i think it raises a larger question of patriotism in schools. we used to teach patriotism. flag day actual lea machine something. now flag day is bring in the flag, flag of your home country, and -- >> gretchen: and the american flag is offensive to americans. i don't get it. that was my point yesterday. patriotism has nothing to do with being a democrat or independent or republican. >> multi culturallism has been a very interesting experiment. it does multi culturallism ask patriotism work together?

i think p a lot of instances, the answer is an emphatic no, sadly. >> brian: sadly justin bieber to be dragged into the middle of it. >> gretchen: he's not even american! he's canadian! >> gretchen, it could have been a lot worse. it could have been "girlfriend," the song they song. >> gretchen: god bless you, too, laura. >> thank you. >> steve: 13 minutes after the top of the hour. remember this encouraging commence i want speech -- commencement speech. >> none of you is special. you're not special. >> steve: oh, great. the teacher who told the kids they're not special, explaining why he said it. >> gretchen: it was fantastic. then, so your dog bites your neighbor? don't worry about it if you're a teacher. the taxpayer also pick up your legal bills? the disturbing details, millions of dollars, next [ male announcer ] at scottrade,

>> gretchen: philadelphia schools are in trouble. the district facing a massive budget deficit and layoffs for teachers. but they still have money to spend apparently on free legal services for union members. kyle olson is the founder of eag news.org and he's my guest. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so explain this situation. it's my understanding in the year 2010 to 2011 that $2.6 million of philadelphia's taxpayer money went into the philadelphia federation of teachers legal services fund. what's that? >> that's right. what we as an organization have been doing is looking at teachers union contracts around the country and putting dollar figures on the different provisions. so in philadelphia, they have what is called the legal services fund and $155 per

member goes into this fund each year and then teachers union members, 16,000 of them, can tap into this fund for personal legal services. and first when we read this, we thought maybe it just has to do with if you're accused of doing something to a student or something work related. but it has nothing to do with that. it's legal services such as preparing a will, purchasing a home, if your dog bites your neighbor, as you said, and so taxpayers are footing the bill for teachers for these types of services. >> gretchen: why? >> because it was negotiated in the contract. and it's a perfect example of how collective bargaining has bankrupted and corrupted the school system and scoot walker -- scott walker was attempting and did fix this in wisconsin, but what he did needs to sweep across the country so schools can finally get these sort of provisions under control and put the focus and spending on student needs. >> gretchen: i bet the people in

philadelphia have no idea that this is going on. so hats off to you for laying the groundwork for this. but here is what i'm upset about: the district announced 3800 layoff, including 2200 teachers at thend of the school year, that same year that they were $1.1 billion shortfall. that's what they're forecasted to have in 2017. the layoffs in the same year of which they're collecting $2.6 million for this kind of legal advice. i don't get it. >> it's insane. and it's not sustainable. and in fact, the district, the local media have all said the district is on the brink of insolvenessy, yet these type of provisions continue. so it's about time school districts like philadelphia and chicago, many other around the country get serious about these types of provisions because they're on an unsustainable course and it's only going to get worse until they tackle these kind of provisions in these contracts. >> gretchen: the school district

of philadelphia did not respond to our request for comment. so we can't bring you the other side of this story right now. but kyle olson -- >> unfortunate. >> gretchen: yeah, it is. founder and editor of education in action news. that's your organization. we'll see you next week. >> great, thank you. >> gretchen: what some people will do to bilk the system, that's next on the rundown of the the woman who faked having triplets to get extra food stamps? then, who can forget this scene from glass? >> you know i love south fork. if there was any other way, i wouldn't be leaving. >> gretchen: linda gray up next.

he hit a second car about five minutes later and police found him unconscious, slumped over the wheel after that incident. none of the occupants of either car he hit was seriously hurt. a spokeswoman says he suffered a seizure at some point during the sequence of events, but it's unclear if it was before the first crash or as a result of one of them. the white house was at a loss to explain it. >> this circumstance is pretty unique in that secretary bryson was alone, was not with a security detail, was on private time, which is common for certain members of the cabinet and resulted in him both having a seizure and ending up in the hospital. >> aides say bryson himself has a limited recollection of events and he has no history of seizures. he is 68. he took over commerce about eight months ago after gary lock was named ambassador to china. police say bryson would have been arrested if he hadn't been taken to the hospital. he has been charged with felony hit and run, but are -- or

righted -- cited, but not charged. but the sheriff's office says it will be up to a district attorney to determine whether charges are filed. steve. >> steve: what a story. wendell goler, thank you very much. >> gretchen: other headlines for your tuesday, a startling new report indicates executive examines directors at jp morgan chase knew about risky trading practices two years before the bank lost over $2 billion. according to the "wall street journal," current and form members of its chief investment office talked about reining in the traders way back in 2010. ceo jamie diamond admitted he was wrong by dismissing concerns just this past april. he test before the banking committee tomorrow. >> brian: government worker busted using her job to get extra food stamps. ebony martin created a phony state file for her boyfriend. in it, she made up names, social security numbers of triplets so he could get more money. in less than a year, they collected $22,000. martin, who was sentenced to 30 days in jail, has been placed on administrative leave, but expected to be fired. her boyfriend still on the run.

that obamacare is having any impact on small business. i'd acquaint him with a survey down by the u.s. chamber of commerce that asked small businesses how obamacare is affecting them. 75%, three quarters of them said it was less likely for them to hire people because of obamacare. another is the comment that the private sector is doing fine at a time when you've seen growth of our economy below 2% for the first quarter and you have about 15% of americans out of work or stopped look for work or underemployed. the president is really out of touch with what's happening across america. >> brian: he says you're out of touch. he says you want to cut firefighters and teachers, that you don't understand what's going on in these communities. what do you say to that, governor? >> that's a very strange accusation. of course, teachers and firemen and policemen are hired at the local level and also by states. the federal government doesn't pay for teachers, firefighters or policemen.

so obviously that's completely absurd. he's got a new idea, though, and that is to have another stimulus and to have the federal government send money to try and bail out cities and states. it didn't work the first time. it certainly wouldn't work the second time. >> steve: governor, i wanted to ask but something, it was a jaw dropping statistic that was flashed across the country yesterday. the federal reserve has figured out that over the last three years, the net worth of the average american family has fallen 40% over three years. wiped out two decades worth of americans' wealth. when you saw that number, that american debt, or rather american wealth down 40% in three years, what did you think? >> well, i knew that that's why the american people are having such a hard time. that's why the idea of selecting as a campaign slogan, forward, is so absurd.

the american people are facing really tough circumstances. they're look at how they're going to pay for retirement. i was with a couple in wisconsin. they had a couple of duplexes, they were relying upon to sell for their retirement. the values have collapsed. they wonder what they're going to do. with a barber who couldn't retire because even though he's in his 70s because of the loss of the net worth that he had. people are having hard times in this country and the president needs to go out and talk to people. not just do fund-raisers, go tout without and talk to people in the country and find out what's happening. >> gretchen: it's interesting because it appears that they're going to continue the attacks on you and your bain capital experience, even though many high profile democrats came out and said that they didn't agree with those tactics. it seems like the super pacs, pro-obama super pacs will continue along this path. is this beneficial for you or is it a negative? >> well, i think people understand that we have a free enterprise system in america and that the right course for america is to encourage free enterprise, small business, big

business. we want people to hire. the president has the most antibusiness, anti-investment, anti-jobs administration i think i've ever seen. and the people in this country want to see people who have private sector experience who know what it takes to get the private sector hiring again. obamacare is one of the worst offenders in making it difficult for small businesses to go to back to the business of hiring people and expanding. so i think people recognize the president may be well meaning, but he's just out of touch with what's happening across the country and doesn't understand how free enterprise and private small businesses are able to grow. >> brian: you got a pig event and -- big event and be on the bus tour. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: up next on this show, the main stream media keep trying to ignore fast and furious. that's about to change for good. the last thing the white house wants. peter johnson, jr. will unwind this. >> steve: good luck

>> good morning from washington, d.c. this morning, where eric holder is expected to get grilled by the senate intel committee at 10:00 a.m. eastern this morning on the fast and furious issue. so is the march toward contempt charges inevitable at this point? a voter in virginia puts a simple question to the president. why should i vote for you? the answer, lots of people talking this morning. bob and andrea will weigh in on that, coming up here in "america's newsroom" today from washington. >> brian: we've been telling you, you just heard the promo, eric holder will testify on capitol hill today in relation to operation fast and furious. so how does the white house feel about this? joining us now with the reaction, fox news legal analyst

peter johnson, jr. are they worried, peter? >> sure they're worried because this is an election year and the main stream media has said, you don't need to know about fast and furious, this gun walking operation that went wrong and which the federal government didn't tell you everything about. if there is a contempt proceeding, then the entire world has to cover it. it doesn't happen much. we saw it with the attorney general reno. we've seen it with secretary water back in the '80s. secretary of state kissinger even and other officials. so does this go all the way? if it goes all the way t goes to the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., and then mr. holder would be subject to a year in jail and $100,000 fine. no one anticipates that happening and probably in the end, these documents will, in fact, come forward, but it's an opportunity to talk about an important public issue. >> brian: i'll tell you what, if you believe that the documents will eventually go forward, why not do it now and avoid -- >> absolutely. i think in that sense, it's bad

lawyering. it's better to say yeah, we've given 7500 documents. we haven't given the documents that you want, we're not asserting executive privilege that somehow they're protected documents. give the documents up. let the chips fall where they may. let people make their own impressions about what the feds knew and didn't know and whether they told congress the truth. >> brian: your prediction, will it get out of committee, do you believe this will ever go to a house vote? we're five months from an election. >> it may get out of committee. the committee may, in fact, vote a contempt citation and make kind of be reported to the full house. whether there is a full house vote another question. i anticipate the documents will be discoursed because they should under the law. >> brian: always great to see you. it will be a big week for fast and furious. back in two minutes our cloud is not soft and fluffy.
