9:01 am
claim? lots of tough questions thrown at pfeifer, including where the president was when the benghazi attack was unfolding? we will ask two congressmen about that in our fair and balanced debate. i'm shannon bream, america's news headquarters live from the capitol starts right now. we begin with incredible images of a tornado tearing through the heartland these pictures taken by the iowa state meteorology center, some packing winds of 200 miles per hour have ripped through the country's mid-section and that area is in store for more trouble today. what is the latest? >> reporter: shan obon, this is going to be a three-day event. and the main event starts today, even though we saw the incredible pictures across kansas. the storm is not moving quickly, so all along the heartland, we want people to be alert and listen for watches and warnings. we are setting the stainless

steel for a potential tornado outbreak, one in which we haven't seen this season, if you can believe it. the temperatures are ripe for thunderstorms. upper 70s, 80s in the plains states. a lot of moisture to work with. dew point is the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, the air is juice i, ripe for thunderstorms. this is going to feed the long-track tornadoes, we think we are going to see late this afternoon, into the evening and into the overnight. the severe threat from north texas all the way up to the upper midwest with a focus on this area here, where we think the ingredients are going to come together for tornadoes, large tract, dangerous, potentially deadly tornados and you can see the big cities, millions affected here. joplin, we are almost on the second anniversary of the devastating ef-5 tornado with winds in except of 225 miles per hour. this will continue not only today and into monday and tuesday. 25 million people in the path of

9:04 am
admission that conservative groups were unfairly targeted. >> we are talking about an attitude that the government knows best. the nanny stated is here to tell us all what to do. if we start criticizing, you get targeted. >> reporter: since president obama says he didn't know the irs was targeting groups critical of his administration, his senior adviser, dan pfeifer, doesn't believe this is a real scandal. he said, despite evidence to the contrary, the irs did not single out groups with tea party and patriot in their names because of political motivations. >> look at what the independent inspector general said in their report and to congress. 1; there is no outside influence other than this came directly from the irs. 2; this was not necessarily based based on political motivation. >> reporter: three days from now owednesday morning, we will hear from lois lerner, in charge of exempt organizations of the
9:05 am
irs. she is the one who last week admitted on a conference call that conservative groups were unfairly singled out by the rirks -- by the irs. it will be the first time lawmakers will have the chance to have her explain the policy and how high up the chain of command that the orders came. >> it will be very interesting. >> reporter: it will be great. >> we'll be on it. pfeifer was also on the defensive, concerning the deadly benghazi attack. he refused to say where exactly the president was that night and insisted that ambassador rice is owed an apology. we have more. >> reporter: the month-long controversy over the security support, the reactions and the revised talking points, after the 9/11 terror attack continue. dan pfeifer making the sunday rounds, standing by the independent review board's findings and he passionately says that the idea that the president was not responsive at the benghazi attack is
9:06 am
offensive. >> with due respect, you didn't answer my question. what did the president do that night? >> he was in constantd touch with the national security team and kept up with events. >> was he in the situation room. >> he was kept up to date through the the day -- >> do you not know. >> i do not remember what room the president was in. that's a largely irrelevant fact. >> the republicans, such as republican paul ryan says the american people don't have all the answers and disputes pfeifer's claim that last week white house emails provided real insight. >> we have only seen parts of this story. the point here, chris, is not that this -- this is not a partisan endeavor. this is what is the truth, when scbro why was the truth intentionally distortd? >> darrell ice athe chairman of the house oversight committee, issuing a subpoena to the co-chair of the arb, issa has a number of questions and says that they are unanswered, it
9:07 am
worked in secret, unrecorded and untranscribed interviews with witnesses. republicans remaining focused on getting their hands on more information into what happened that night, such as video surveillance and the gap between the consulate attack and the white house talking points email released just last week. shannon, back to you. >> thank you very much. the obama administration is juggling three major flashpoints, the irs targeting conservative groups. new details about how the administration handled the deadly benghazi attacks, before, during and aft they happened and the seizure of associated press reporter phone records. joining us to talked about the issues, members of congress from both sides of the aisle. trent franks and danny davis. gentlemen, welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> all right. congressman franks, there has been an apology from the irs. the president has expressed outrage and said that americans have a right to be angry. are you satisfied that we know
9:08 am
what there is to know about this scandal? >> well, shannon, i think there is much to be known. but the reality is, there seems to be a trend here that is very disturbing. and it's said a long time ago when government fears its people, you have democracy and freedom. but when people fear their government, tyranny is at the door. my great concern is that there seems to be a general trend in this administration and we need to step back as a people and as a nation and ask ourselves what the purpose of government is. the first purpose is to protect the lives and constitutional rights of americans. and i would suggest to you that this administration has sort of gotten in -- that in reverse. they have taken their eyes off protecting the lives of americans and they, in a sense have become the biggest abroigators of constitutional rights in recent days. so i am very concerned. i hope the facts are the ones
9:09 am
that we -- the things that we focus on and we don't try to carry it in ways that -- do not represent reality. but i -- i will tell you, when people ask me, does this go any higher? i don't know what the president knew and what he didn't know. here's what i do know, this president has sort of expressed an attitude of -- well, i know what's boast. whether it's health care or the -- or the benghazi thing or the irs situation, or the taking the records of a.p. or -- any of those things, it seems like he's saying, listen, government knows best. you just sit there and don't worry about it. i think that's a really dangerous attitude. i think that it foments some of the things that are coming to be manifest. >> congressman davis, i want to give you a chance to respond to that criticism. but do you share the concern of democratic colleagues that regardless of what your political viewpoints, all americans should be worried if the irs is singling people out,
9:10 am
based on any particular political ideology? >> well, i don't think they ought to be that much worried about the irs because peer we now have croyle of the situation. the preel deal, i think the last thing that you could call this government -- or this administration, coming from the white house, is tyrannical: as a matter of fact, what is really clear is that there were not enough management controls in place at the internal revenue service. huhigh-level officials making decisions without vetting the decisions with any superiors. is and so they were off doing things in response to situations that occurred that they never should have been able to do without actually getting clearance in the first plates place.
9:11 am
i think the situation is well understood. you are going to see more training and more direct intersection with superiors. i don't think we will have that. plus, everything that the inspector general has found suggests that... this was not politically motivated in terms of any kind of conspiracy. these were management people who thought they saw some trends developing and were trying to make sure that that they did not make mistakes. and that's exactly what they d. some of them have already been relieved or have already left the agency. others will in all probability be leaving. so i think that it was out of control. but we are going to be in charge of it now. and that's want going to happen again. >> all right, gentlemen, we are almost out of time. i want to have you both quickly answer this question. congressman davis,you alluded to to some of this, who do you
9:12 am
think the d.o.j. should investigate? do you think that's a good enough force of investigation? do you think it should be more broad? keep it tight so we can give congressman franks a chance as well. >> well, i think the inspector general has done an outstanding job, has given us good, solid information. i don't think anybody has really questioned that much what the inspector general has done. and so i think that's a good enough investigation. with what congress itself is going to be doing, we know that there will be investigations in oversight and government reform. we also know that the chairman of this committee is always eager to subpoena records and that kind of things. so i think the investigatory pieces are in place and we will get the information that will tell us the truth. >> okay, congressman franks, are you satisfied? >> i think that danny is correct. we are going in the right direction. but it's important to keep in mind, congress has introduced a bill to -- to say that any
9:13 am
administrative subpoenas like the one that the justice department issued to check these a.p. records, is no longer going to be without judicial review. we need independent accountability. and then hopefully the facts will lead where they will. but it's important, americans make sure woo are protecting our liberties now for this and future generations. >> congressman davis, congressman franks, we appreciate your time. we will keep an eye oz this plays out. thanks you, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> the justice department's sweeping collection of its reporters is illegal. but the obama administration is say that this subpoena was in the interest of national security. the a.p. president and ceooh gary pruett says tell have lingering effects. >> it will hurt journalists. we are seeing an impact. officials that would normally talk to us and people we talk to
9:14 am
in the normal course of news gathering are saying that they are reluctant to talk to us. they fear they will be monitored by the government. we are already seeing it. it is not hypothetical. >> a.p. reporters hel a story about a thwarted terror bombing for five days at the request of the white house. he says the secret subpoena included 20 phone lines, used by at least 100 journalists. it's a tough week for the administration. which scandal do you think will be the toughest for the white house to manage? benghazi, the irs targeting conservative groups or the department of justice/associate press phone records. tweet us with your answers. we will read some later. president obama addressing graduates ofmore house college in atlanta. the alumni are the late dr. martin luther king jr. this is the first time that a sitting

9:16 am
florida, matched all six numbers, bagging the highest powerball jackpot in history. >> get ready, everybody. this is the powerball... >> reporter: the winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with the powerball of 11. and saturday evening's announcement made a trip to the grocery store far more than a mundane cruise down the produce aisle. >> they said somebody wrun from here -- in the store! you know, your heart drops. it's like i came to get milk. i forget what i needed to get. i checked the numbers. i didn't get the win. but to know that somebody won right here, wight at home, it's a real good feeling. >> reporter: no milk, but a cash cow indeed. the jackpotted produced a $590.5 million payday for some lucky person or persons.
9:17 am
i do mean lucky. the chances of winning? 1 in 175.2 million. such long-shot odds didn't deter people across the country who lined up to try their luck. the winning ticket was sold in a publix outside tampa. i call it powerball publix. but no one has come forward yet. nonetheless, once the lucky winner steps forward to collect the cash -- he, she or they will walk away with a lump sum of $282,677,000, after all the, uncle sam has to get his 25%. the world's largest jackpot, by the way, was a $650 megamillions in march of last year, but florida has the juice when it comes to the powerball. the sunshine state has had more powerball winners than any other state, six winners in all, after last night's drawing. shannon? >> i am going to have to make a

9:32 am
by his national security council team. i spoke to chris wallace. >> you had a top advise tort president today. you pushed him about what the president knew and when about benghazi and what was happening with him in real time? >> you know, this has been one of the lingering questions about benghazi -- where was the president? we knew he had one conversation with the defense secretary and the chairman of the joint chiefs, martin dempsey at 4:00, five electric in the afternoon when the word of the attack came down. we knew at 10:00, all eastern time that night, he had one conversation with secretary of state clinton. and nothing else that happened. now, if you. with the osama bin laden raid, we knew tick-tock of everything. the pictured of him in the situation room, all of that. but we don't know what his involvement was as this attack went on, as the ambassador went missing. he demanded that the defense forces -- be deployed as quickly
9:33 am
as possible. of course, none of them were deployed. who told them that? dan pfeifer acted as if that were an absolutely inappropriate question to be asking. >> there is a great back and forth, people won't want to miss and the context and now the irs scandal about targeting conservative groups. in the context of that, you talked about with paul ryan about the issue thought president -- what does he know? and when does he know about the big issues that most americans would expect that a president would know? >> it is interesting. we looked back in time, there are three or fourer five oughted irs, the a.p., fast & furious, there was that flyover of air force one -- and it's kind of a default line for the administration, when there is a messup, they say, you know, the president found out about it when all of us found about it. at a time when the president is pushing activist government as a solution in health care and the economy and energy and a variety of areas, when 1; we have seen the scandals, there are
9:34 am
questions about the intrusiveness and the president doesn't seem ton what is going on -- that raises some questions and some ticklish questions and that's something i talk about with dan pfeifer. >> i thought the panel was exceptionally good today. folks won't want to miss a second of the show. >> thank you. >> thanks, chris. catch the interview with white house senior adviser, dan pfeifer, after our show and chris's one-on-one with paul ryan t. airs at 2:00 and 6:00 on the fox newschannel. >> it's my understanding that one of the requirements before compelling process from a media outlet is to give the outlet notice t. do you know where why that was not done? >> there are exceptions to that rule. i do not know however, with regard to this particular case, where that -- why that was or wasn't done. i don't have a factual bags basis to answer that question. >> news this week that the justice department secretly seized the phone records of associated press reporters.
9:35 am
attorney general eric holder says he doesn't know the details, recusing himself from the case, after being interviewed as a witness. the chairman of the house judiciary committee has tough questions for the attorney general. congressman, thank you for joining us today. >> good to be with you, shannon, and your viewers. >> have you asked some pretty tough questions. the attorney general said there was a lot he didn't know. did you learn anything from this week's hearing? >> we certainly didn't learn anywhere near as much as we need to learn. this is a pretty serious matter when the attorney general of the united states comes before the house judiciary committee and dozens and dozens of questions, the answer is: i don't know. sometimes he points in the direction of somebody else. with regard to the a.p. issue, he recused himself from this, but he doesn't recuse himself in writing. he was asked when he recused himself, he couldn't tell us the answer to that. when he was asked why he recused
9:36 am
himself, the answer seems to be that he had knowledge of the underlying information that was leaked and therefore would be someone that they would question about the leak. but he delegated this to the deputy attorney general, it appears that the deputy attorney general had access to the same information and he was the one, according to the attorney general who authorized this overbroad subpoena without any notice, as rived by the code of federal regulations to the associated press and encompassing 20 reporters over a two-month period of time and as one of my democratic colleagues asked the attorney general, when she asked him to explain why this was done without notice to the a.p., she pointed out, we are talking about records not held by the associated press, but held by the telephone companies and it is not as though the associated press could have suppressed the information, if they were notified in advance that the
9:37 am
justice department wanted this information. >> i have referenced a number that the department of justice, the deputy attorney general james cole who, authorized this and has the answers. have you talked to him? will you talk to him? >> we definitely have a lot of -- and an increasing number of questions for the deputy attorney general. we will be communicating with him, both in terms of asking all of these questions and in terms of the possibility of having him before the committee to answer the questions. we will follow the truth, whether it leads. >> i want to bring up something that a colleague of yours, across the hill on the same side of the aisle, senator jon cornyn said. the gun-walking operation, fast & furious, he said, i think it's past time for him to go. any sense that you have that there will be other calls for the resignation of the attorney general or that he will resign? >> well, there has been a lots
9:38 am
of concern about the tarn generall last year, i signed onto a resolution that called for him to go, as senator cornyn put it. quite frankly, it points down to a lack of accountability. he's the attorney general of the united states, like the questions that your storyerter pointed out with regard to the president, he is supposed to be leading our justice department in taking care of a lot of different issues. whenever he's asked about any failings that occur with any of them, he doesn't know, he wasn't around, he delegated it to somebody else. he doesn't know the details. and that is not the kind of leadership for an organization that is supposed to assure the people of the protection of their civil liberties. we are talking about freedom of the press and the freedom of speech. when you talk about the irs, you are talking about the right of citizens to peaceably assemble and petition their government for redress of their grievances and yet, they are being investigated because they cannot
9:39 am
get a 501c 4 tax-exempt status that other organizations are getting because they are a conservative organization, a tea party organization. we need to have accountability. we will see, the attorney general, the justice department have announced they will investigate the irs matter. but we are not going to leave it to the attorney general or the justice department. we are conducting our investigations in the houses, the ways & means committee, the oversight government reform committee, the judiciary committee, to make sure that the american people hold the mrtionz accountability and get answers to their questions. >> we thank you for your time. a lot of investigations, very busy. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up, news on a case that we have been following for you. a german family came to america, seeking asyl tom home school its children, something that got them into a lot of trouble in their home country. there has been a development. you will hear about it after the
9:40 am

[ grunts ] well, i travel a lot and umm... [ male announcer ] at visa signature, every upgradedxperience comes from listening to our cardholders. visa signature. your idea of what a card should be.
9:44 am
>> a federal appeals courted says a german family who sought asylum here in the u.s. to home school their children must be deported. the german school system was educating their children in ways inconsistent with their faith. the origin judge granted them asylum, but the justice department appealed that decision and now the family's options are running out. michael donnely is here live. our viewers are very interested in this story. this week, you had a development that was not positive, the sixth circuit, of course, saying that this isn't legitimate, despite the original rule that this family can't stay? >> yes, the immigration judge found that the family was being persecuted in germany for home schooling and found that the courts there have said that -- it is not okay to home school. the states can fine parent who
9:45 am
is want to home school their children. they try to take children away from their parent fist they home school their children. so that immigration judge awarded the family asylum. but the justice appealed and shortly after we argued the case in the sixth circuit oapril 23, the court handed down a decision, saying no, they are going to uphold the administration's revocation of the asylum granting. >> we can only guess. but i am so puzzled, any clueases to why when originally the family was granted asylum, the justice department decided to invest the resources and the time to try to get their deported. >> what they said in their briefs was that home schooling ofness a fundamental right and they were not a social group, worthy of protection. that's what they say in the briefs to the immigration appeals. one wonders when you look at the grants of asylum that have been
9:46 am
given to so many people. people in the administration of talking about liberalizing the immigration in this country and here's one family who came here for freedom. they just came here to educate their children according to their convictions. that's all they want. they don't want a handout. they didn't come near economic opportunity. they came for freedom and our country should be standing with them, want against them. >> we should be troaking about the legal options. what if they go home and try to home school their children? >> germany continues to persecute home schoolers. they don't like it. their supreme court has said it's okay to counteract religious or philosophical societies, we call that pluralism fthey are philosoph kate or religiously motivated to teach their children at home, they don't want their children
9:47 am
to be treated differently. they will be fined tens of thousands of dollars, they will be threatened in court to have their children taken away from them. they could be criminally prosecuted. >> we know what is mixture to ask for a full hearing and then to the supreme court. we will continue to track the case. keepus updated. >> we absolutely will do that. thank you so much for your interest in the case. >> thanks for your time. veterans are getting the chance to run their own businesses. it's an industry that has really taken off and it's great news for them. details next. days to work. or faster relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax provides gentle relief overnight unlike miralax and metamucil that can take up to 3 days. for predictable relief try dulcolax.

10:01 am
trust. >> shannon: the obama administration doing damage control on three months. the white house insists the president did not know the irs was targeting conservatives during the presidential election. but, the way the president is handling the issue along with revealations regarding the doj secret sweep of associated press reporters phone lines and the benghazi investigation have some wondering how much impact this could have on the president's second term agenda. i'm shan. we begin with digital politics editor chris stirewald. good to see you today. >> you are in your scandal black. i'm feeling it. >> shannon: i am. somebody we are are seeing a lot of today, dan pfeifer. making the round on the sunday shows. what does that say about how the white house is treeing to respond to the events of this week? >> they are trying to keep it as away from the president out here. we are interested in it and care about it but not raising the red alert. not doing the full monte and
10:02 am
they don't have the treasury secretary out and they are trying to downplay this to say well, it wasn't that bad and in fact it is really the supreme court's fault and the president didn't know anything about it and it is just over here and we will take care of it because they as pfeiffer points out the ramifications are huge and huge not just for the president's agenda but for the application of the first term agenda which is to say his healthcare law. >> shannon: and there has been a lot of discussion about the fact that at one point the person who was heading up the tax exempt organization issue sarah hall ingram is now heading up the enforcement arm of the irs when it comes to the affordability care act which really is the enforcement is the way that the act lives. >> it is the center of his law because it is there the mechanism, the irs is the mechanism by which people will be compelled, forced to purchase health insurance and that is kind of the deal. that is the whole point of this law is to compel people to

purchase insurance even though they don't want to to help insurance companies make more money to cover people that the insurance companies don't want to. there is no specific allegation that this woman had engaged in any wrongdoing but you it talks about how a scandal of this magnitude where you have the political enemies of the president targeted by the least popular least trusted agency in the federal government. when you have that going on you want it to be clean, clean, clean, no whiff, no hint, no nothing of scandal. even if this woman did the wrong thing the politically appropriate thing for the people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons.

the federal government has posted 6,575 newly proposed federal regulations at regulations.gov. some states are overwhelmed by what they say is the federal overreach with the mountain of regulations. viaerre fighting back as a that attorneys general. general. thank you for joining us today. chris. >> thank you shannon. great to be here. >> shannon: we a democratic administration president obama in the white house so it would be the attorney generals that have issue with the policies coming out. accusations that the president overstepped powers whether ekimovesquetive order -- executive orders for federal regulations coming from the agencies. how are the states fighting back? >> well, i'm pleased to report that they are on the beat and
10:20 am
as federal top cops or republican attorney generals on the beat i'm sad to say they are busy. federalism used to be a bipartisan issue and something that republicans and democrats on the state level always agreed on but appears that this president and his party have told their governor yous and ags off the beat and they look more like lap dogs now than top cops. >> shannon: and there are lawsuits across the board on any number of issues. some things we talked about many times in regulation nation the epa for one. >> the epa has taken a what we believe is a limited congressional authority in a number of areas and through their rule making process because they can't get their job killing energy policy through congress they are just doing it in the rule making process. so the last line of defense there are the republican attorney generals and they are doing it as a matter of law and believing this is federal overreach. it does have a positive impact to stop the obama job killinged a minute rules but it is really about enforcing the
10:21 am
constitution for the ags. >> shannon: how you do you respond to those who say it is politics and attorneys generals that want to make the president look bad and we need clean air and drinking water and the epa serves a function. >> they ought to function the way congress instructs them to and not go forth. we drink the same water and breathe the same air as republicans and democrats. we can agree on that. they are prevailing in suit after suit and there has been surprising victories in the area. the courts are validating this. and again federalism used to be something democrats and attorney generals used to agree on. no one wanted federal preemption or overreach. looks like only the republican ags are on the beat. >> shannon: talk about the affordable care act. it has been challenged in multiple ways on multiemplatforms and that continues because as the regulations are promulgated and coming out from the act it is creating a whole new framework
10:22 am
of what people have to do, what they can't do. what they can do. a lot of legal challenges on that front as well. >> certainly. i'm afraid the worst remains to be seen as we move forward with implementation. i believe that the republican attorney general stepped up when the -- it was fairly popular when it first passed and brought the suit right away and worked its way through the court. unfortunately, it was upheld on the individual mandate. but it was upheld on different grounds and there was an important limitation on federal power in the commerce clause in the decision. there was also -- it was finally called what we all knew it was which is a tax. to us we saw an important victor arery when seven justices on the supreme court looked at the medicaid expansion which really isn't an expansion. it was a medicaid transformation. seven justices called it putting a gun to the states heads and forcing them to take the deal. thankfully that was another limitation on federal power and we are seeing it play out in the states. the president at his president conference blamed republican
10:23 am
governors and state legislatures. again, all part of the blame game for standing up for their own budgets and not accepting this federal mandate. >> shannon: it is a tug of war that we will ten to see play out i'm sure for years to come. thank rs for the update. >> thanks for letting me be here. >> shannon: the irs under fire and the other shoe is about to drop. coming up we will talk to an organization that says it plans to slap the agency with a lawsuit over the whole thing. and we do have a winner. the winning power ball ticket has been sold. iwas it you? find out, coming up.

return to their neighborhoods. some of the politically conservative groups that say they were targeted by the irs are fighting back. they are now planning to sue the agency. the national organization for marriage says it will file suit later this month over theft and the leak of confidential tax returns. joining us now the chairman of that group, john eastman. thanks for your time today. >> thank you very much, shannon. >> shannon: i know the story goes back a couple of years well beyond the initial scandal breaking this week. you had trouble with the irs for awhile. tell us about the back story that you got? >> well, the biggest issue is in march of 2012 our principal political the human rights campaign posted a copy of our confidential tax returns on the website and our computer analysts were able to take the pdf document and remove redelaware countyions and we discovered it originated from within the irs itself. it is stamped this is a live
10:30 am
tax return from the internal system official use only. we immediately called for an investigation. they first investigated us to see if anybody on our side had obtained a copy of the irs version and leaked it and then the investigation quit. and we filed a series now of freedom of information act requests trying to get to the bottom of who committed this crime. it is a felony up to five years in prison for somebody in the irs to have done this. >> shannon: and you have filed a number of questions and freedom of information act requests trying to find out who was the person now having determined it did come internally from the irs. what has been the latest response in your push to see who did chit thi commit this c? >> the latest response is down right orwellian. we received a response that said any investigation for violation of the irs rules is itself protected taxpayer return information that they cannot disclose to us the
10:31 am
person who committed this felony against us because that would violate the disclosure rules that he is alleged to have violated. it is really unbelievable. >> shannon: there are a number of investigations going on as news of this continues to leak out. the most recent scandal. here is a bit of what the president had to say this week in reacting to news that the s it did target conservative groups. >> it is inexcusable and americans are right to be angry about it and i am angry about it. i will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency but especially in the irs given the power that it has and the reach that it has in all of our lives. >> shannon: there are are some investigations underway now on this front including one by the department of justice. are you condition vinceed that the president -- convinced that the president will make sure that all of the loops are closed on this and you will get your answers? >> no i'm not. he was advised of this his administration back in april of 2012 and nothing was done until
10:32 am
it became really public and i'm further not convinced because the head of the human rights campaign that illegally published our tax returns that had been illegally disclosed he was at the time serving as a national cochair of the obama for president reelection campaign. so there are very high people involved in this position and i don't expect that we will get any serious investigation and criminal prosecution until a special prosecutor is appointed with full authority to actually look into this and follow the paper trail where it leads. >> shannon: we'll see if that happens. john eastman of the national organization for marriage. thank you. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: all right, just one ticket matches all section numbers in the power ball drawing. coming up a look at where the ticket was sold. plus, proof that dogs really are a man's and i think woman's best friend. the incredible reunion between a marine and his canine. that's ahead. why are twice as many people choosing verizon
