incremental escalation. we need to have game changing action. that is no american boots on the ground. establish a safe zone and to protect it and to supply weapons to the right people in syria who are fighting for obviously the things we believe in. every day that goes by, hezbollah increases their influence and the rallied jihadist flow in to syria and situation becomes more and more ten you on use. >> gregg: conor powell has the latest? >> as tensions continue to mount. israel is in a state of high alert with the assad regime vowing to punish and to respond to these israeli air strikes even hinting that all options may be on the table. second time in 72 hours, israeli jets launched air strikes in syria. today's target was scientific

research center near damascus the stated site they attacked in january. goal of the strikes is to prevent the transfer of sophisticated weapons to hezbollah fighters based in lebanon. with tensions rising, israel is taking precautionary steps to protect it's from retaliation. they have moved two iron dome missile systems to the northern part of the country. iron dome system knocked out hundreds of rockets fired from gaza. >> the syrian government said today the strike represented a declaration of war and syria would respond in the time and matter of its choosing. >> reporter: israeli fears that syria or iran could launch some kind of attack. doing so may be crucial for assad that he is in control. >> gregg: what is the new reaction among citizens there in

israel? >> i was at the border earlier in between the two strikes. for the most part they are cautiously preparing for the worst. israel is a country that is used to these types of threats. they are going about their business. they have all told me they have a lot of faith in the israeli defense forces. right now, it's life until usual until something actually happens. >> gregg: in the meantime, time, egypt one of two arab countries that has a peace treaty with israel. mohammed morsi says, egypt condemns the aggression as violates international principles and laws and would further complicate the situation to threaten the stability in the region. we're also getting new reaction from israel's closest ally the united states. we'll have a live report on that a bit later on in the newscast. >> heather: wednesday shaping up to be a huge day on capitol hill

representative darrell issa says the white house, susan rice continued to say the incident was response to propaganda video. president of libya said the attack had trace of a planned assault. >> challenge we have right now we are being told that this may have been a protested when in fact clearly all evidence we have should have been, no, the ambassador before he was killed believed he was under attack. everyone working in the mission both in benghazi and in tripoli believed it was an attack. the president of libya believed it was premeditated attack. >> two other men who claimed to know what happened will come forward on wednesday. former marine and deputy coordinator in state department, mark thompson as well as security officer based in tripoli eric nordstrom. we have heard from him before. he has testified that congress, he thought the consulate needed more security and the state department told him no.

in addition to the a little wearing the hazmat suits you mentioned there was also a sniffer dog on the scene. one agent was spotted outside the home holding what appeared to be a wrench, the type of wrench that a plumber might use. authorities would not say what they were looking for or what if anything they found. in a brief statement the did tell they were conducting court authorized law enforcement activity. meantime, lawyers for the 19-year-old american accused of lying to investigators to entering the dorm room says their client should be released on bail. in papers filed this weekend, attorneys say that he is not a flight risk. they also say he has never been until now arrested. that he was born and raised in the boston area where he has an extensive family. they also point out that she not charged with having knowledge of

the bombing or helping the suspect. if convicted of lying, he stands to face up to 8 years in federal prison. tomorrow he will appear in court here for an expedited bail hearing. >> gregg: as they are searching the cambridge home of the deceased bomber, where is his widow? >> as best we know his widow, katherine russell remains in the home of her parents in rhode island. she is under a great deal of scrutiny. as we reported there are police cars, local state and federal driving by on a regular basis, also cars parked nearby. authorities keeping very close watch on katherine russell. at this time she has not been charged with doing anything illegal. >> gregg: david, thanks very much. >> heather: a horrific accident in california to tell you about. police say this one was aimed at

pulled over abruptly on a bridge near san francisco as smoke poured out the rear of the vehicle. it became engulfed in flames. four feel passengers and male driver was able to escape but five women were killed in the flames. police are investigating the cause of the accident. >> the spring thaw and heavy rain sparking major flooding across the country. the national weather service is issuing numerous flood warnings for cities along the mississippi river stretching from the upper midwest down toward the gulf coast. events in fargo, north dakota showing that flood reduction, not exactly a science. city spending $2 million on preparations after it indicated red river would spill it's banks. the numbers were off and river never rose as high as expected. for extreme weather, firefighters in southern california getting the upper

hand on the massive wildfire thanks to lower winds and a big drop in the temperatures. so far, the flames have scorched more than 40 square miles and damaged 15 homes. it could have been a lot worse. dominic joining us live from the front lines of the containment effort in newberry park, california. >> reporter: it was a massive fire. we are a the short distance where it started. from the santa monica hills you can make a few wisps have smoke. cal fire saying that very easy how the fire happened. on the roadside here, the dry debris i can show you, dry leaves, paper, trash, dry sticks and mulch which caused an undetermined ignition of trash and of leaves that caused the

spring fire back on thursday. they are concerned that there is so much of this on the roadways of california it could prove to be a record fire season. take a listen. >> that is great discussion point. we have seen a large number of fires. first week of may. they are burning in conditions that normally we don't see until late summer. this is sign of things to come for firefighters across california. >> reporter: indication of that they have had 200 more wildfires this season than they would expect in a normal year. we'll see how it pans out. we've got hot weather coming across the rest of the few weeks not as holt as we saw earlier on when temperatures reached 98 degrees and cool moist air. we had rain short time ago. as they continued to cross the hillside there is a concern that the erratic winds could cause

another fire. several fires going on across the state, one up in northern california that winds could ignite the panther fire that has been raging and that, indeed, will take a lot of fire crews being deployed here. >> gregg: this could be a long and dangerous fire season in southern california and northern california. thanks very much. >> heather: jodi arias resuming tomorrow. jurors now deciding if she brutally murdered her boyfriend or if it was self-defense. >> gregg: plus guns for groceries, how police in one state are taking weapons off the streets in exchange for food. >> and a dramatic turn of events, a soccer referee punched by a teenager during a game has now died. the question is, what kind of charges will the boy now face.

>> he is gone forever. it's not enough. they are not going to bring my daddy back. i just don't want him to get out and do it again. i don't want him to hurt other people. i don't want other families to go through the same thing as we are right now. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] there are hybrids. ♪ then there are turbo hybrids. introducing the first hybrid you'll actually want to drive. that's the power of german engineering. introducing the first hybrid you'll actually want to drive. geico and we could help youo save on boat and motorcycle insurance too. other insurance companies are een with envy. oh, no, no, no...i'm sorry, but this is all wrong? i would never say that. writer: well what would you say?

>>. >> heather: time for a check of the headlines, north korea releasing new information against kenneth mcveigh who was sentenced to 15 years hard labor. he entered the country with a disguised identity. death toll topping 600 in the building kla collapse in bangladesh. and pope francis surprising the crowd in the streets of rome today with a ride in his pope mobile. >> gregg: wall street smashing new records this week, but main street, still struggling with high gasoline prices and unemployment rate that is still way too high. what is holding us back. is there any bright spots on the horizon. joining us is brenda buttner,

anchor of "bulls and bears." for the month of april, 185,000 jobs but when you look at the prior quarter, first quarter of the year it was 206,000 was the average, arguably, that number 165,000 is below the average. is the economy actually cooling? >> that is very good point. also, it's not enough to keep up with the increase in population. bottom line was, wall street cheered it was a little better than expected. one thing about the jobs report there was huge decline in the number of hours worked. that means a lot of employers are cutting back. they are turning full time to part-time workers mainly because of the new healthcare law. >> gregg: because they are trying to get under it so they don't have to comply with the mandates. one columnist pointed out -- i thought it was interesting -- about 15,000 of so-called new

jobs, assuming they exist are really based on government assumptions and not fact. let's put it up on the screen. those assumptions are very outdated and false and they produce this time of year, overly optimistic beliefs. assumption is economy is okay but that has not been the case since 2007. fair pointed? >> it is a fair point. in christmas and in spring employers hire a lot. we're in a new normal. that isn't happening anymore. you can look at the fact that every single month, job numbers are revised. they were revised upward for the first quarter, but who knows how accurate they are. >> gregg: i o the flip side, there is good stats, housing prices? >> absolutely. housing prices are rising in many markets. they finally found their foundation. also, wall street.

the market is way up. s&p 500 which is probably of your 401-k hit the all time high. what it means with housing prices up and stock prices, people feel richer. so they may be more willing to spend. in the end, spending is the main driver of this economy. >> gregg: and consumer confidence is up sharply for the month of april, but look at the economy over the last four years under president obama. we'll put this up to the screen, unemployment is down fractionly. labor participation rate lowest since jimmy carter. food stamps doubled. high gas prices up 90%. g.d.p. growth continues to slump and debt approaching $17 trillion. >> right. there are things under his control such at at the euro zone. the companies that it are having

a problem. they are having trouble with sales. china's growth is dropping, as well. so there are a lot of negatives out there as well. >> gregg: "new york times" which has been a cheerleader of president obama's economic approach did admit the following. jobless rate remains far higher than it typically would be thus far in a recovery? >> yes, absolutely. there is some key groups such as young people, college graduates that are really having a rough time finding work. >> gregg: is the government to blame in some ways for the following reasons? you got huge payroll taxes that are hitting everybody. you got increased income taxes and then front loaded workers social security deductions on the front end? >> small business which is the driver of hiring is not going to hire if there is so much uncertainty out there. there is a fear that taxes are

going to go up as well. >> gregg: brenda, good to see you. we'll see you next hour. catch brenda on "bulls and bears" every saturday morning, 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on fox news channel. >> heather: arizona police they are getting guns off the street with a unique buy-back program. here is what they are doing. guns for gross rigs kicking off in phoenix. people that turn in unloaded handguns rewarded with a hundred dollar grocery gift card. they can remain anonymous. phoenix police say the guns will soon be tagged and analyzed. >> come monday, detectives from gun squad will go through the process of obtaining trace evidence, related to any kind of crime. >> i had th gun, i've had it for 30 years. i was afraid to ever shoot it again because it's dusty. i thought why not trade it in.

>> heather: more than 7800 guns have been traded in. the program will continue throughout the month. >> gregg: search for answers with a really occurred in benghazi libya, will congressional hearings on wednesday provide the answers? our political panel weighs in on that. >> heather: plus the united states keeping the eye on the growing crisis in syria as israel launches another massive air-raid there. latest reaction in a live report next. >> the whole situation is becoming more and and red line that the president had written is apparently written in disappearing ink. goodall ] i thk the most amazing thing is how like us these chimpanzees are.

♪ hi. [ baby fussing ] ♪

♪ ♪ >> heather: time for the top of the news, three self-described

whistleblowers set to testify at a congressional hearing into benghazi attack. darrell issa says they have information that differs what has been presented by administration officials. >> gregg: influx of damp ocean air helping firefighters get control of wildfires that are burning in southern california. >> heather: president obama giving the commencement address at ohio state university. president urging graduates to participate in the political process. break the cynicism regarding the nation's future. >> gregg: back to the top story. new reaction from u.s. officials just hours after israel launches a new round of air strikes on targets in syria. reportedly targeting a shipment of iranian made missiles that were on their way to hezbollah militant group based in lebanon. those attacks unleashed massive explosions in the capital of damascus and raising fears.

steve is standing by live in washington. what is the status of the white house on syria. >> it puts more pressure on the white house. no additions zisz have been made. chuck hagel did say last week the u.s. is considering the possibility of arming the rebels. there is not much appetite to put troops on the ground in syria. the president indicating that is not likely to happen. >> i don't take options off the table as commander in chief. circumstances can change. what i do know is that i cannot see a scenario right now in which american boots on the ground would make any sense. >> reporter: the presidential spokesman said syrian president must go because he is a destabilizing force in the region. >> gregg: what are the president's critics saying about

his syrian policy? >> a variety of things. some say he should have moved more quickly to arm the rebels. some are attacking president for drawing a red line on chemical weapons and failing to act. john mccain is one of those critics and he recommends this course of action in syria. >> we need to have a game changing action. that is no american boots on the ground, establish a safe zone and to protect it and to supply weapons to the right people in syria who are fighting for obviously the things we believe in. >> reporter: and new york republican congressman peter king said today, arming the rebel costs be counterproductive if those weapons fall in the hands of al-qaeda. >> gregg: steve centanni, thanks. >> heather: the investigation into what actually happened on that night of terror in benghazi libya taking center stage on capitol hill. congress holding a highly

anticipated hearing into the assault that will happen on wednesday. today, some republicans are accusing the obama administration of trying to suppress witness accounts of the attack. here is jason chaffetz. >> they are scared to death what the state department is doing to them. look, we are the other branch of government. they are supposed to be able to come to congress and be able to share this type of information. that has not happened because the information is suppressed. >> heather: let's bring out political panel, former senator scott brown and former congressman from pennsylvania joe. do you believe the obama administration has blocked whistleblowers from testifying and if so why or why not? >> i certainly don't know. but the congressman has the right point. in 31 years in the navy i

learned to expect what you suspect. if we have an accident at sea, we have two inspections to hold those accountable but to fix it so it doesn't happen again. i think the administration should be as open as possible with any allegations founded or unfounded and congress should do this hopefully not in a partisan way but what went one wrong. we had the accountability review board. i think congress has the right to do this. i hope it isn't done in a partisan way. >> heather: the accountability review board in question at this point. senator brown, fox news spoke with an attorney representing the whistleblowers. she backed up the allegations. >> i'm not talking generally. i am talking specifically about benghazi, that people have been threatened, not just the state department. people have been threatened at the c.i.a.

it's fright negligent. you are taking career people and making them well aware that their careers will be over. >> heather: of the three witnesses testifying, eric nordstrom, he is a top security officer at the time of the attack. he has previously testified and does not consider himself a whistleblower. there is mark thompson a former marine for operations in the agency's counterterrorism bureau and gregg hicks the number two diplomat in libya behind chris stevens and he became the number one guy. senator brown, eight months since the attacks, why are we just hearing from them if this wasn't the case of fear and intimidation? >> i want to commend them for stepping up and coming forward. i remember when we had our classified briefings and we had people coming in, secretary clinton at that point, it was like pulling teeth.

round and round we went. we have never felt we got the complete and accurate picture of what happened there. that is what is happening now. the house feels the same way. the state department and senator secretary kerry, we encouraged these people comfort. we want a full and fair and open disclosure process that is transparent. with that blessing people would come forward and find out what is happening. congress has the right to know and state department has the affirmative obligation to provide that information immediately. >> heather: i want to get what has been released today. the house oversight committee released a transcript from gregg hicks. in it he says, that from the get-go, everyone in the mission they knew it was a terrorist attack but perhaps even more powerful, take a look at this. this is what he has to say about the administration's response. first susan rice and what she

said are five days after the attacks. do we have sound from ambassador rice? >> that is the best assessment we have today, this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. that what happened initially it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> heather: here is what gregg hicks has to say about that response from the administration. first of all, he says he is asked, did you ever have any indication that there was a protest, a popular protest outside the mission in benghazi. his answer, no. question, ambassador rice did the sunday shows and in advance of that surely you were an integral part of the preparation. is that true? >> no, i was not. i was not in any way of her preparations. so, congressman sestak, i'll ask you, why did not the

administration consult with hicks before putting together those talking points? >> if they did or didn't, i don't know. it seems to me they should have. there are two major point. the first we have had in open press for months there was a human on the scene report initially that there were armed radicals in the crowd. there were heavy weapon systems there. why wasn't that a piece of information that was presented by susan rice? was it her or someone necessarily the administration or overriding reason why they didn't do it. number two, this is what i would like to know. why wasn't our foreign emergency support team called up like when we had our embassies overrun in several other countries. they or the scene 48 hours, the f.b.i. didn't get there for three weeks and special forces as well as the c.i.a. i think these are legitimate questions. i can't tell you what the answer

is, but i know we want the facts and accountability and results. hopefully never again that will happen the loss of four men or women. i do know this. to err is human but doesn't absolve responsibility. >> heather: will we eventually get the answers that we're seeking. dhou i anyone else come forward? >> we should have had the answers soon after it happened. it was like pulling teeth. there are 125 to 150 assailants with mortars, heavy artillery and grenades, rocket propelled grenades. there is a reason why susan rice is not secretary of state now because of her misstatement and falsification when it came to testifying before members of congress. that is not right. we need to find out the answers. i challenge secretary kerry to come out and say we are going to

encourage anybody that has information to come forward before congress and give them the answers they need once and for all as the congressman said so we can learn from those mistakes and hold anybody accountable. >> heather: gregg hicks said the impact of the administration's puble i am herable and a fatal error. -- immeasurable. >> gregg: jodi arias's faith resting squarely with the jury. she admits killing her ex-boyfriend. she says it was self-defense. our legal panel weighs in on the courtroom drama next. the capital one cash rewards card gives you 1% cash back on all purchases, plus a 50% annual bonus. and everyone but her... no. no! no. ...likes 50% more cash. but i don't give up easy... do you want 50% more cash? yes! yes?! ♪ [ male announcer ] the capital one cash rewards card gives you 1% cash back

defense presenting very different scenarios and motives of her ex-boyfriend travis alexander. >> it's not even about whether or not you like jodi arias. nine times out of ten i don't like jodi arias. >> even after stabbing him over and over again, even after slashing thinks throat from ear to ear, then even after taking his gun and shooting him in the face, she will not let him rest in peace. instead of a gun and instead of a knife, she uses lies. >> gregg: let's bring in robert massey and kirsten willis a trial attorney. this thing shortly begun after new year's. it has gone on on and on.

we can agree this went off the rails. >> when i was watching this trial i thought back to the o.j. case, judge ito. no disrespect to him and how the judge lost control of the case. you and i both know that juries at some point whether it's civil or criminal get it. they get it. they understand it and i wasn't in the courtroom but from our eyes right now, i think they are beat ago dead horse. >> gregg: the thing about a prolonged trial, it always benefits the defendant because when jurors, 12 jurors sit in the same room with the accused, especially on the witness stand for god knows how many weeks she was on the stand, they come to know her and whether they like her or not, it's hard to put her to death, isn't it? >> yes, absolutely. there was a lot of discussion in the legal community about whether that was most brilliant

move the defense made or a fatal rer but the reality of the situation is, they need one person to like her enough to either change the game in the guilt phase or petition phase. >> gregg: the judge sherry stevens seems to have lost control long ago. let me talk to you, bob. first-degree murder, planned and premeditated. second degree is without premeditation. manslaughter, because i think the defense is going for manslaughter. here is the jury instruction they got in arizona. defendant acted upon a sudden heated of passion, such act resulted from adequate provocation by the person killed which means conduct or circumstances sufficient to deprive a reasonable person of self-control. she just kind of lost it in a fit of anger. is that possibility here? >> because of the fact that some of the evidence has come out and you and i know, it's going to turn on the facts.

yes, but here is the one you thing i disagree with the defense lawyer. he said to the jury, you don't convict a liar for this crime of premeditation. i respectfully disagree. once you put that defendant on the witness stand, then credibility, lies come into play. from the beginning she said intruders came in. if you take it from there, why would you ever believe this defendant about anything. >> gregg: but she claims her excuse, well i had ptsd and lost my memory. kirsten, the long shot here is self-defense because remember, she claims that in a fit of fury he attacked her and she thought she was going to die and grabbed his gun. here is the self-defense jury instruction, here is what the jurors are looking at. use of physical force in a reasonable person in the

situation would have reasonably believed that immediate, imminent actual danger. actual danger may not be necessary. a long shot but she could walk, couldn't she? >> theoretically, yes. i think it's a long shot. frankly her attorney acknowledges this, in closing they back off, it wasn't self-defense what we have is manslaughter. i think by making that argument and by as bob mentioned before her lack of credibility, they have really sort of painted themselves in a corner as far as the self-defense. >> gregg: we will wait and see. good to see you both. >> heather: still to come. orb showing off his closing speed making a late move to win the kentucky derby and first win at churchill downs. highlights from the 139th running of the kentucky derby. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle --

"wall street journal" jeff foster joins us now. more insight into the latest sports headlines. thanks for joining us. first of all we want to talk about orb. what are his chances to go after the triple crown? >> it's hard. no one has done it since 1978. every horse that wins the first leg, you think they have a shot. a lot of them win the preakness in baltimore. its similar race but then when the belmont stakes come its mile and a half, very few horses have been able to do it. >> heather: what do we know about orb. i was reading and being considered an old school win from horse trainers? >> it's old kentucky money. an old school trainer, they don't really run that many guys. they are not a trainer focused

just on winning the triple crown. it's sort of traditional the way they ran the horse. >> the family that owns the horse he was quoted as saying, take your time, let the horse bring you to the race. i was surprised. one trainer specifically there at the kentucky derby that had five entrants. 26% of the field. >> he had a good shot. very confusing. you would think if you have five different horses, what do you tell which one. it turned out none of them did very well. >> heather: good for orb. moving on, fourth time in five seasons, best basketball player in the world, lebron james, do you agree? >> i don't think there is anyone in the world who doesn't think lebron james is not the best player in the world. question right now, is he the best player ever. not so many players have had four mvps. michael jordan, wilt chamberlain

bill russell, he is the youngest to do it. jordan had only 2 when he was 28. really it's turning into history. at the end of the day, they are going measure who has the most titles and lebron has the one from last year. >> finally we have to bring up this story, on a sad note but the soccer referee was killed by a teenage player during a game. it happened last weekend. >> its terrible story. he got punched in the head by a goaltender after getting a yellow card. he flipped into a coma and passed away. it's an awful story. it's sadly we have seen this happen in other sports. just in december a similar thing happened in manila where a dutch ref was killed after the game. it's horrible.

>> heather: the teen is booked on aggravated assault. what week do to stop this? >> the league in utah where it hatched, they have boosted security. it sounds like there has been sort of similar incidents of violence. this referee's family he has been attacked in the past. more security and off duty police officers will help. >> heather: get the parents involved with these kids. thank you so much. >> gregg: i said this before. especially in pro sporting events, when fights break out is prosecutors have to step up and start charging people with assault and battery otherwise young kids who see them as role models will never get the message. >> heather: that is good point. lead by example. >> gregg: all right. we are expecting new details on the deadly assault in benghazi as a congressional hearing begins this week with state department whistleblowers. our political insiders are here to weigh in.

offer new details into what really what happened. >>heather: the military is identifying three brave americans killed when the military refueling plane crashed in afghanistan. >>gregg: new concerns of the president's health care law as the most vocal supporters are calling it a "train wreck." >>heather: tensions are hitting the boiling point in the middle east after israel launches a new wave of airstrikes on the capital of sear sending pillars of smoke and fire high into the sky. a witness described it as a night turning into day. reports from israel suggest that the target was a shipment of highly accurate iranian built missiles headed for hezbollah in lebanon. israel is not commenting but syria is calling the attack an act of war. reaction is pouring in on the sunday political talk shows. >> we can not have boots on the

ground but potentially some kind of option like airstrikes against some of the weapon sites to protect are rebels are in the card. what happened with israel, israel is also sending a signal to iran, to hezbollah but possibly to us, too, that the situation in the syrian area is getting very very tense. >> the president needs to make it clear what we will do. he has tried to do that with the bright red line which he has not followed through on. >>heather: now the latest from jerusalem. >>reporter: syria's information minister called it a fly grant vie -- violation of international law saying syria will do everything necessary to protect itself. >> for the second time in 72 hours israeli jets launched airstrikes in syria. according to the syrian tv the

target was a scientific research center that israelis attacked in january. the goal is to prevent the transfer of sophisticated weapons from the assad regime to iranian-backed hezbollah fighters. with tensions rising, israel is taking precautionary steps to protect itself from syrian retaliation. in the past 48 hours israel moved two iron dome antimissile systems to the north part of the country. last year it knocked out hundreds of rockets fired from gaza and they hope it will do the same, if needed. the syrian government says the describe represented a declaration of war and syria would respond in a time and matter of its choosing. despite the threat, so far syria has stopped short of declaring any war. still, there are fears that a sort of growing weaker bashar al-assad regime could resort to an attack to prove itself

internationally but tensions are growing that has everyone on alert. hat hat thank you from jerusalem. washington, dc is paying close attention to the israeli airstrikes. we will have more united states reaction later in the hour. >>gregg: key witnesses will appear now this wednesday at a new congressional hearing into the deadly terrorist attack on the united states consulate in benghazi. those self-proclaimed whistle blowers actually may be able to provide a very different version of events than what we have heard especially from the obama administration. now that report from washington, dc. >>reporter: ahead of the attack on wednesday that cost four american lives, we are looking at the testimony of a whistleblower with a transcript of the interview with deputy chief of the mission at the embassy in libya, one of the men scheduled to speak on wednesday at the hearing.

included in the testimony he reports and i quote, "i think everyone in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. i never reported a demonstration. i reported an attack on the consulate." the last report "if you want to say the final report "greg, we are under attack." chris is in reference to christopher stevens the former ambassador to libya who was murdered. a representative says the white house specifically u.n. ambassador rice continued to push the agenda that the incident was in response to propaganda video. the president of libya said the attack has trace of a planned assault. >> the challenge is we are being told this may have been a protest but, in fact, it clearly shows in all the evidence, it should have been, no, the ambassador before he was killed believed he was under attack. everyone working in the mission believed it was an attack. the president of libya believed it was a premeditated attack. >> two other men who claimed to

know what happened will come forward on wednesday a former marine and deputy coordinator in the department for counterterrorism and security for based in tripoli before the attack. we have heard from one of these gentleman before testifying to congress. he thought the consulate needed more security he has testified and the state department told him "no." >>gregg: than you, elizabeth, from washington, dc. >>heather: the pentagon announcing the debts of -- deaths of throw service member killed in a plane crash on friday. the military refueling jet went down in woods 100 miles west of the airbase. the plane was supporting united states military operations in afghanistan. on board were a captain from colorado springs, a captain. from palm detail, california, and technical sergeant. from bakersfield california. investigators are looking into the cause of the crash.

>> extreme weather center with firefighters gaping ground on several wildfires because of the cool and moist air that now is moving into the area. so far the flames have scorched more than 40 square miles and the fires are 60 percent contained. new to the frontlines of the containment area in california. dominic? >>reporter: they expect full containment of the spring fire tomorrow at some point. you are right, about 60 percent is behind me and fire crews are down to the last of the flames and dousing some of the embers because of the winds and the fear is any of the gusts could actually ignite the flames and we could have another fire. the vegetation is green behind me but the field below me was close to the starting point of the blaze and we still have six blazes across the california area. it has been incredible to see.

we have been talking to local leaders and they said how much the concern for the season is given the precedent we have had starting this week. >> concern for firefighters across the state. if the numbers we are seeing this early and how active they are, the type of fires we see is what we normally see in late august, not the first week of august. >> is that because of a dry winter? >> several reasons for this much fire activity. a lot of dead and dying vegetation throughout the state of california. we have not had a wet winter in some areas and there are a varietyies reasons for the cause all causing trouble throughout the state. >> the investigation was the springs fire is not known what caused the fire. it could have been a cigarette or a hot tail pipe, something like that. that was at 101 a short distance from where we are but they

expect similar events to cause fires throughout the season. they urge the president at the beginning of fire awareness week, starting today to take care of the areas around their house and if they see trash or debris near the side of the home, clear that, because it will prevent fires. in northern california we still have a red-flag warning in the area north of san francisco. they are expected to have higher temperatures there the next couple of weeks, and perhaps not as high as southern california at 98 the other day but it will be high combined with intensely high winds so we could see similar scale fires in the north. back to you. >>gregg: thank you, dominic, from southern california. from tinderbox to dry conditions and to flooding predictions that went awry in the upper plains. the national weather service issuing numerous flood warnings along the mississippi river from the upper midwest down toward the gulf coast.

however, events in fargo, north dakota, showing the flood prediction is not a science. this spring the national weather service predicted the red river could go 40' and the state spent $2 million on preparations only to see it top out at 33'. forecasters are looking at piles of data but the forecast was more difficult because it came a month later than usual because of persistent winter and a very long drought. >>heather: new developments in the search for answers in the boston marathon bombings. the f.b.i. again searching the home of deceased bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev. some of the agents, wearing white haz-mat suits as they entered the home in cambridge, massachusetts. david lee is in boston with the latest.

>>reporter: the f.b.i. agents were joined by agents from the bureau of alcohol, fire and tobacco spending six hours in and around the home where tamerlan tsarnaev lived and where he lived with his wife and young daughter. this is the same home where sources say it is very likely that the bombs used at the boston marathon were assembled. police sealed off the street at 8:00 this morning, and in addition to the agents with the haz-mat suits, there was also on the scene a sniffer dog, as well, and an agent was spotted outside the home holding what appeared to be the type of wrench that would be used by a mummer, authorities would not say what they were looking for or what, if anything, they found. the f.b.i. told fox and i quote, "they are conducting court authorized law-enforcement act activity." the lawyers for the 19-year-old

american who has been charged with lying to investigators about entering the dorm room of the suspected bomber, dzhokhar tsarnaev, after the attack took place, are now saying their client should be released on bail. they filed legal papers, and attorneys for robel phillipos say he is not a flight risk. they elaborate and say until now he has never been arrested and was born and raised in the boston area where he has an extensive family. they also say that he is not charged withing have knowledge of the bombing or helping the suspects. if he is convicted of lying to investigators he faces up to eight years behind bars. tomorrow, he will appear in federal court if boston for an expedited bail hearing. >>heather: thank you for the latest from boston tonight. >>gregg: eyes are on wall street tomorrow morning for the opening bell.

>>heather: turning now to wall street. strong job numbers fueling a major surge in stocks on friday. the dow passing the 15000 mark sending millions of american 401(k) accounts soaring. and now we have brenda, anchor of "bulls & bears." >> on friday, employers added 165,000 positions in april,

unemployment rate, the rate at a four-year low at 7.5 percent. this is, in part, what contributed to the rise in stock. >> wall street will go up on anything and is almost good news. the truth is, the jobs report was solid but there was a lot in there that was not so positive. it could not keep up with the population growth if we add this many jobs each month. wall street is on a tear. the bulls are stampeding. you mentioned the dow but the s&p 500 which is the birthday market and it is probably in your 401(k) is up 13 percent so far this year. it is up 140 percent since the birth of the bull mar it. -- bull market. >>heather: it reacts to everything, events, job numbers, events around the world. will it continue? >> there is one thing that is happening that is probably fueling a lot of what is going on.

in part, that is why wall street can shrug shoulders at the fact of record debt and the deficit is horrible and washington, dc has all of this. that is, big ben, head of the fed, signals they will keep on printing money. that will keep the interest rates low, there is nowhere for money to go. can you not go into the bond market so you have to go into stocks. what is probably going to happen, all the people out there who have cash on the sidelines are saying, no, i remember when i lost my 401(k) in the financial meltdown and they will say, wow, 15,000, i don't want to miss out on dow 20000. >>heather: can you just keep printing money in don't you wish we could do that? >> it is the next bubble to burst. you cannot continue to do this because it is going to happen. there is huge impact on allowing us to keep spending as we are. for the near term the instead

saying, we will keep doing that, so wall street thinks, that all we need. >>heather: the effect on the overall economy is someone at home right now who does not invest in stocks? >> if you have money only in savings you are not making anything and that is a problem that is why we will see more cash coming in from the sidelines. if wall street goes up, that enables companies to borrow more which is a good thing. it also -- people feel more rich, they have more money in their 401(k) and they could spend, spending may drive employers to hire month so there is a multiplier affect. >>heather: it is all interconnected and you as a business expert have a cool job connecting all the dots. >> thank you, i love it. >>heather: good to you have back. brenda. you can catch brenda on saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m. eastern

right here on the fox news channel. >>gregg: an amazing story. a father in pennsylvania running the mayor thought...blindfolded for a terrific cause. thousands of runners taking part in the pittsburgh marathon but one will not be seeing the court. mike bruno is wearing a blindfold while running. his seven-year-old is legally blind because of a medical condition which she was born. >> a pound and 14 ounces at work and was in the hospital 114 days before we could bring her home. the eyes are the last to develop, and the retina detached. he and friends are raising money for his little girl and others who are blind and mike, good now. three cheers for you. >>heather: favorite story of the week, by far. coming up the middle east on edge after israel launches blistering airstrikes against syria the latest reaction from

officials with have report up next. >>gregg: another hotspot overseas, front and center, in washington, dc this week as congress begins a new hearing on the benghazi terror attack. our political insiders weigh in on the stakes involved. and do you know your... blood type? a or b positive?? have you eaten today? i had some lebanese food for lunch. i love the lebanese. i... i'm not sure. enough of the formalities... lets get started shall we? jimmy how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? happier than dracula volunteering at a blood drive. we have cookies... get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

>>heather: welcome back at the bottom the hour and time for the top of the news. three state department whistleblowers expected to testify this week at a new congressional hearing on the benghazi terror attack. a limousine burt into flames on a bridge near san francisco killing five female passengers trapped inside. four others are injured. a utah soccer referee punch by a teen player has died. the 17-year-old player was angry after being called for a foul

and he has been charged with assault and will soon face additional charges. >>gregg: president obama facing criticism from all angles completing the first 100 days of his second term. the president getting slammed for his policies on the economy, on benghazi, the on going crisis in syria and those are just a couple. still, look at this, a new rasmussen poll suggests americans are evenly split for approval of his performance right now. we bring in john leboutillier, pat caddell, former pollster for president jimmy carter and doug schoen former president of bill clinton. it is cinco de mayo and they wanted to do shots before the air. wait, wait, not yet. doug, the new job numbers, 165,000.

okay, better than expected but barely enough to keep up with those entering the workforce. >> that is right and unemployment is down largely because there has been substantial dropping out of the economy by discouraged workers and others. bottom line, this is a presidency that is adrift. we talk about how the administration was adrift on issues. nothing makes that point better than syria today where we are not sure what the red line of the game changer is but israel looks to be doing our work now. >>gregg: pat, after four years, this is what we have under president obama: unemployment down slightly, 22 million are under employed, labor participation rate lowest since you were hanging out with jimmy carter. >> that was before so many women worked. >>gregg: gas prices up 90's percent, g.d.p. growth is bad and debt approaching $17

trillion yet the president is at 50 percent. >> he is at 50 percent because everyone made a big deal out of the numbers. but he has been slipping. as doug and john pointed out "new york times" numbers on specific issues is in the low 40's. understand something: everything he talked about like the press conference, he doesn't address the economy. they are solving the g.d.p. by changing the formula so it will look better. like the numbers. it is window dressing. in the unemployment report, do you know despite the increase in jobs, no hours went up? that protect --. >>gregg: here is a soundbite during the news conference. take a listen. >> their base thinks that compromise with me is somehow a betrayal. they are worried about primaries. i understand all that. we are going to try to do everything we can to create a

per mission structure to do what is best for the country but it will take time. >>gregg: what is "permission structure." >> i have never seen a president with such baloney. >> he goes right to blaming the republicans for his own failures. he will pick up the phone, call jason collins, the basketballly, the gay basketball player to congratulate him but he will not pick up the phone to lobby senators. >> he did not call the night of benghazi to find out what was happening with dead americans. >>gregg: well, he was going to las vegas. >> can you imagine lbj or bill clinton in trying to negotiate with congress, making this excuse "i can't get their permission, a permission structure," and i have to figure a way around it. >>gregg: is he blaming in. >> of course.

>> the president's rating on the deficit is 33 percent. as you correctly suggested, there is no agenda on 9 economy, on job creation, on economic growth, and this is about leadership. >> i want to talk about the news convince: 41 percent, 44, 33, and that is approving his handling. what did he do last week? two big things, the first president ever to go to the planned parenthood national convention. he called his basketball player. that is the highlight of the week. here is a hard left social agenda. >> a couple of comments from the "washington post", "it is never a good sign if he feels compelled to assure the public that he still has a pose." or "the president's protect was jammed with half truths and out and outment representation that even mainstream reporters took

to snarking." >> we will discuss the description of the wonderful land of oz of health care, how great but he did the thing, he is the person, his justice department has been to court against the judge on the plan "b" and they want 15-year-old to have the day after birth control but does not mention benghazi. >>gregg: and he is acts like he will pick up the ball and bat and go home. here is the sound bite. >> do you still have the juice to get the rest of agenda through congress? >> if you put it that way maybe i should pack up and go home, golly. >> the idea that the president would make light of a serious question wouldn't talk about the ideas and wouldn't talk about leading the country forward, wouldn't talk about the crisis we are facing with the economy

and immigration and guns, syria, benghazi, the fact that he is talking in that line is just so discourageing. petty. >> absolutely. he ran an empty campaign only on beating romney, not elect me because i will do a, b, c. here we are six months after the election and he has nothing that he cares about other than himself and it is werety and that is why he is adifferent -- a drift. >> what is blowing up on hedge -- on him is benghazi and boston. >> he gets back on this, this is tough stuff and the self-radicalization, the refusal to accept but we go back happee f.b.i. releasing the pictures,

these are blending together and benghazi starting to come apart. the president had a problem on this and we found out this week, and wednesday we will have one set of things from the people who testify at the state department who have gotten numbers. >>gregg: number two american diplomat in libya will testify. he said everyone immediately knew it was a terror attack. i never report add demonstration. i reported an attack on the consequence last. chris, meaning the late afternoon, last report said, greg, we are under attack and then greg hicks watches susan rice on the five sunday talk shows and he says "my jaw hit the floor as i watched this," and never been as embarrassed in my life. >> this is the purest example of the introduction of politics, winning the election at all

cost, into a serious terror attack. the obama administration was just trying to get through the event. just trying to get through november. bottom line this is something that is not resolved. >> we say it is not only not resolved, today on cbs they used the magic word "cover up," with the chairman of the committee. he introduced the piece saying this is a potential cover up and people are saying it could be a cover up. i am saying it was a coverup and it is all about politics and it has explosive -- we have learned al-qaeda was hired to protect our people, and more to the point about the coverup, the talking points. we have copies of the drafts from the intelligence saying to al-qaeda they took it out and this was never any mention of a

video. nothing. >> it cries out for the republican leader, speaker boehner in the house of representatives to name a select committee --. >>gregg: why hasn't he done it? >> maybe because congress has been begging. >> there are five standing committees investigating. >> there are 15 members and i was in dallas yesterday and speaking with some of the republican donors and i said, tell them you will not send them anymore money. the donors should stop the money until he names the committee. >>gregg: jake carney said this about benghazi. >> if someone came forward and they have not told their superior or something, if they were to come forward, is the white house willing to let them definite? >> again, that is the hypothetical but be clear, benghazi happened a long-term ago. >> it was in september. >> this is unbelievable. at the time it was delay, delay, delay, now it is the past, the president himself in the white house video said that has been

discussed before and now it is something that somehow isn't worthy of consideration. >> you worked for bill clinton, and hillary clinton testified but what difference does it make now? they are in hot water. i am telling you, the republicans ought to realize they cannot miss. >> you cannot lie this much and cover up when people are dead without it coming out. it is 200-some days since the president promised these people would be brought to justice. >>gregg: do you think the american public is paying attention? look at the latest polling data, 32 percent, the obama administration's jobs in explaining benghazi, excellence or good job. >> that means two-thirds of the american people, about 68 percent, have either a neutral or more likely a negative opinion. they are paying attention, even though fox is the only network that systematically covers benghazi. you cannotize an ambassador on the anniversary of 9/11 and

cover it up. >> in that poll, the impressive number is that 66 percent of those polled in the poll said they were even following this chosely or very closely. and we -- fox has been the only place, what happens, cnn put the pictures up and --. >>gregg: is the media covering this up to help the president? >> that is all they ever do. >> they can get away with it. at the bottom of this is the same problem which is, it is --. >> a simple point, there still is a terrorism crisis in this country, the obama administration has said we broke al-qaeda and clearly they were wrong. >> in boston --. >> the president said he would self radicalize as if to dismiss it? >> biden went to the funeral of the m.i.t. cop and called them knock off jihadist. >> this effort to -- look, tell

the truth. tom freidman said we cannot continue this. >>gregg: we will talk about obamacare and the president's affordable health care act and he enjoys using the term obamacare losing favor among those who once supported it and why the change of heart. is it really a train wreck?

john leboutillier and pat caddell and doug schoen. glitches and bumps? >> pat pointed out this bill was 1,200 pages -- no, 2,000. talk about a government program. >>gregg: 20,000 regulations. >> the new deal of fdr was 200 pages so this is gigantic and he is trying to minimize what every politician is now realizing, democrat and republican, this thing is going to be not only a train wreck but it could be the political --. >>gregg: the president said for 90 percent of americans this is already happened and the only impact is better, stronger insurance. >> i think that is nonsense. premiums are up. the program itself is innormally complicated. >> millions of losing coverage. >> the health care exchanges are largely a mess.

they are not being implemented and the whole medicaid program with the states, again, up for grabs. bottom line, this is the big issue of the 2014 election, if only the republicans will --. >> one thing in here we have to deal with is the benefits, he promised at the end of his first term that your premiums would go down $2,500. they are up $3,000 on average. this is blowing up. you have baucus saying it is a train wreck, and harry reid. baucus was a principal author. this is the issue that costs the democrats the house of representatives in 2010 and the issue that would have won for the republicans if they had not been abandoned in 2012 and they could take this and every democrat is terrified because people are losing their jobs, a woman said on tv, i cannot work
