"fox & friends" starts right now. have a great weekend. >>gretchen: good morning. it is friday -- may 24. i'm anna kooiman. a commuter bridge plunges sending cars plunging below. there were warnings about the safety of this bridge. >>steve: first she pled the fifth kind of. then she refused to resign. now she's on leave. but get this. you are still paying lois's salary. we're going to tell you how much in a minute. >>brian: promoted for playing politics, this

woman gets a new job in the state department. victoria nuland. we'll examine. "fox & friends" soon with michael bolton starts now. ♪ ♪ >>steve: hi everybody. today is officially the start of summer here on "fox & friends." because today we're kicking off the summer concert series. we've got michael bolton. he's going to take that stage live about three hours from now. if you're in midtown manhattan, be here in the 8:00 hour. you'll see him. you'll have famous dave's. it will be a great kickoff. >> love is a wonderful thing. when a man loves a woman. new hits as well. >>brian: if you have a phrase that needs further definition, for example, i needed this defined: how can we be lovers if we can't be friends? >>steve: why are you looking at me?

>>brian: that is an example of a phrase. >>steve: you want people to define what's he singing about? >>brian: right. we'll talk to him at 7:30 eastern time and then watch him sing. this will be exciting. >>steve: i'm playing susaphone. ♪ when a man loves a woman ♪ we've got a busy day. anna is joining us. >> good morning. >>brian: cars go plunging from 50 feet high into the water after a bridge collapses in washington state. this morning we're learning there were warning signs that could have been missed. >> our reporter is following the breaking developments for us. good morning, heather. >> a short time ago we learned three people who were pulled to safety from their cars are luckily all in stable condition this morning. no deaths have been reported thank goodness. you can see the vehicles right here, and they were tossed into a river in washington state.

this collapse happening about 7:00 p.m. last night in mount vernon. that is about an hour north of seattle. a survivor says he and his wife were driving across that bridge when the bridge just disappeared right in front of them in a big puff of dust. a portion of that four-lane bridge apparently giving way in both directions. listen to this. >> we were very fortunate that when this call initially came in some of the deputy boat operators were on duty and were within minutes of being able to launch a boat and be out there and try to rescue the people that were in need of help. >> how lucky they were. no one was killed in that and authorities are now talking to a commercial truck driver whose rig they believe actually hit the bridge and caused the collapse. listen. >> we do have the drubbing drubbing -- truck driver who remained at the scene. we had initial conversations with him to get an indication as to what occurred. that will be ongoing in terms of the investigation.

>> we are also learning this morning that the design of that bridge is apparently outdated. it was built in 1955, according to federal records. its sufficiency rating is well below the statewide average rating. that bridge served as the main route between seattle and canada and now access has been cut off and that could impact traffic for some time ahead. all of this just ahead of memorial day weekend. you may remember that last major interstate bridge collapse happened in minnesota back in 2007, and that resulted in 13 deaths. about 150 injuries at the time. so this could have been a whole lot worse. we'll bring in more as we get it. >>steve: in other news, you know lois lerner, the woman who ran that unit in cincinnati at the heart of the targeting of conservatives scandal at the i.r.s. if you ask me about lois lerner, i take the fifth. here's the thing apparently she was asked by somebody at the i.r.s., lois, you're

going to have to resign. she said i'm not going to quit. instead what they have done is they have put her on administrative leave, and she's getting paid. and she's getting paid a lot. >> should we be paying this woman's salary indefinitely. in 2009179,000 plus bonus. 2010, the same thing. in 2011, 177 thousand dollars. same in 2012. when you put bonuses in there, lerner was paid a total of $741,000 almost for the four-year period. >>brian: she stood up and took the fifth after declaring her innocence. we know if you take the fifth, i know theoretically you're innocent. but if you have nothing to hide, you should be talking. she takes the fifth, makes this to the administration more embarrassing than it already is if that could be possible. i think after the press secretary jay carney had a chance to get questions from the very ticked off

press who were wondering i thought people would be held accountable, she says no. what kind of world is this when you can say no when people ask you to resign because you're doing a poor and corrupt job and she says no i'll take the leave with pay. she gets a memorial day where she wears a smock and cooks for the entire neighborhood while still getting paid on tuesday. >>steve: she is getting paid right now $177,000. remember, she doesn't run the i.r.s. she's not even a really high-ranking officer. she is an official at the i.r.s. in charge of that unit. but she makes $177,000. that is more than a u.s. senator or more than a u.s. congressman. they make $174,000. she's making $3,000 more plus bonuses. rand paul says she's still here? what? listen. >> i would have suspended her without pay. the other thing is we have to watch closely because what they tend to do is

they transfer people around and change their titles. with benghazi, no one was punished for the fact that for six months they begged for security and it was denied by hillary clinton and the state department. she says i know nothing. i'm in charge around here but that decision wasn't made by me. the same with the president. i know nothing. i'm in charge of the country but i don't know anything about that. attorney general holder has sort of same opinion. i'm in charge around here but i think i recused myself from that decision. i wasn't involved. we have all of these people, nobody wants to take responsibility. and when they say someone was reassigned or fired, we find out they're still in their position at the state department. >>brian: one thing consistent: nobody ever takes responsibility for anything. it is never your fault, the person in charge didn't know about it. it just seems to be okay. when you have congress men and women totally exasperated by people supposed to be in charge not taking responsibility for things they know went

wrong, it is not the way things are supposed to work. >> pointing fingers. where's the accountability in this? really to rand paul's point being promoted for politics, state department official victoria nuland, she is the one who changed the benghazi talking points, or one of the ones who did that, she is getting nominated for assistant secretary of state. where's the accountability on this one? >>brian: i don't blame her at all. she seemed to be the mouthpiece of higher ups who said hey, c.i.a. -- >>steve: we don't know exactly what her -- we know that she asked the white house and the c.i.a., go back and whitewash the talking points. there she is back when she had that job. we don't know exactly what her capacity was -- >>brian: in the e-mails she indicates higher up in the state department would like this changed. it doesn't say i, victoria nuland, want this changed. for example, when people get mad at jay carney, if you don't like the way he's spinning it, he's not setting the spoil.

>>steve: as we continue the scandal palooza at the white house, you know james rosen, investigated by the white house, also u.s. attorney general came up with crazy trumped up charges and tried to get a judge to sign -- and he did. also he was essentially a coconspirator in violation of the espionage act. who ultimately signed off on the search warrant of james rosen? the answer is eric holder, the attorney general for the united states. and what's delicious about this and troubling at the same time is that you know yesterday the president of the united states ordered a 45-day review of the leak investigation. and who did he put in charge of it? eric holder. in other words, eric holder will be investigating eric holder. here's the thing -- pwroeupb he has a habit of recusing himself without telling anybody -plt maybe

he'll recuse himself from the department of justice investigation because he realizes he's the one who ordered the investigation. >> and recuse himself from the phone records, and this previously had none been reported about him signing off on james rosen. >>brian: the president's speech yesterday was i think 50 minutes of self-therapy. let me tell you why i did something. >>steve: the president was talking about how the war is over. too bad the other side doesn't know that. this is a look at all of the phone records that were seized and the phone detail asked for by the department of justice. >> james rosen just doing his job. i'm proud to work at tpobs news at this hour in his -- to work at fox news at this hour in history. it's a first amendment issue. james rosen was just doing his job, and he is a very good reporter. >>brian: james rosen will be on the radio a little bit later. >>steve: good plug.

also stkaeufd -- david zurwhich at the baltimore sun writes team obama picked the wrong guy to treat as a criminal for doing his job as a journalist. james rosen is the best journalist i have ever met. >> 11 minutes after the hour. this morning we are learning a whole lot more about one of the two men who murdered aldly a british -- allegedly a british sold on the streets of london. authorities say the man reported to be michael adebolajo has ties to a radical terrorist group and converted to islam in 2003. police made two more arrests and are searching homes in an expanded investigation. police are bracing for copycat attacks sending more t,000 officers to trouble spots. the british soldier killed lee rigby leaves behind a

two-year-old son. he joined the army in 2006 and served in afghanistan. the brave cub scout leader who confronted one of the terrorists head on says she was not even scared. >> [inaudible] >> she says the attacker told her he wanted to start a war in london and she told him you're going to lose. this morning more about the massive twister that tore there oklahoma this week, destroying 12,000 homes, meantime there are incredible stories still coming out of more like this one. sandra adams reunited with the guardsman who helped save her life. she wanted to give him back his jacket. he gave it to her during her rescue. [laughing] >> and he kind of laughed it off. >> it was a nice feeling to know we've got such good

people out here in oklahoma. >> adams is expected to make a full recovery. >>brian: anna, you were there. pretty devastating? >> i've never seen anything like it. 1.3 miles wide and it was so massive. >>steve: 13 after the top of the hour. anthony weiner wants to be mayor of new york. if you remember what the city of new york looks like, a big weiner blunder. >> go green and get a government green light while conservative groups get mixed up in red tape. the i.r.s. may not be the only agency with conservatives in their cross hairs. stuart varney with the stuart varney with the details. ♪ even superheroes need superheroes,

>>brian: let's hope one day we don't need that banner. while the i.r.s. scandal continues to grow, reports suggesting they are not the only industry intimidating conservative groups. requests for freedom of information documents frequently delayed and denied to conservative groups, and now stuart varney says that is just the start of it. you mean it's bigger than the i.r.s.? >> yes, it is bigger than the i.r.s. there is the suspicion here the machinery of government has been used to suppress

conservatives. the election in fact was not a level playing field. there was a tilt and it was orchestrated by government bureaucrats. you just mentioned the e.p.a., environmental protection agency. almost always when liberal groups apply for a waiver of document fees, they were granted that waiver. conservative groups had to pay. that's a form of financial pressure on conservative groups. you've got disaster relief funds. four states, red states run by republican governors, denied disaster relief funds. then you've got the i.r.s. it's not just a tax-exempt office. conservative supporters, supporters of conservative groups were audited as republican donors audited. there is a consistent pattern here. so republicans, conservatives, they're looking back over the last four years and saying there is a pattern. there is a pattern of going after conservatives which affected the election. the government bureaucracy

was used as a hammer in a way in which it is not supposed to be used. >>brian: it is hard to argue with the examples you put forward because you have living breathing people who have proof of it. we still don't know who is the conductor of this orchestration. >> we don't. that is what congress is trying to find out with all these investigations and hearing. how far up the food chain does it go. whether or not you establish a connection between the campaign and these events or the white house and these events, i don't think that's the story. the story is was government used to hammer the president's political opponents. these examples suggest it was. where the order came from, that's an entirely different story. but if the government was used in that way, that is wrong, flatout wrong. >>brian: one more thing. out of nowhere last spring after mitt romney gets the nomination, we hear we need his taxes released. harry reid makes the speech, i have proof he

hasn't paid taxes in ten years. how would a nevada senator who never met mitt romney know what he paid in taxes or not paid? >> senator reid said governor romney had not paid any taxes, but he said that on the senate floor, which gives him protection from any suit to say that he was lying. >>brian: you might defect back to the u.k. if this keeps happening. what is coming up on varney and company at 9:20? >> you are. >>brian: i'm going to simulcast with you? >> you are going to be the star of varney and company. >>brian: i should be on that promo. okay, mr. torso promo, thank you very much, varney. middle schoolers caught hacking into their teachers computers. the f.b.i. is hauling them away in handcuffs. former president george former president george bush on his bike ride. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios

tornado victims in oklahoma. >> ours is a nation that refuses to accept the defeat of nature, the devastation of nature. so i know in oklahoma people are going to be pulling for their neighbors and that city will recover faster than the people now who live there can imagine. >>brian: fox's doctor marc siegel is in texas for the event. joining us to share more of the exclusive interview with the former president of the united states. >>anna: lookin' good. >> thank you. today is day two of the wounded warrior ride. yesterday we rode on president bush's ranch through the twists, turns, rock formations. it was really difficult. my year of training i think helped me but the wounded warriors were an inspiration. they work together as one. president bush inspires them by being one of them. he actually spent over an

hour, hours meeting with them afterwards just being one of them. joking, feeding them lunch, being a host. he's truly one of them. let's have a look. >> during my presidency and post presidency, i've tried to let the families of our troops and the troops know how much i admire them and respect them. one way to send that signal is to invite them here to our ranch and ride mountain bikes with them. so we've got a handful of wounded vets with us here. but it's really a signal to all the vets that laura and i love them and respect them. >> actually the 15 wounded warriors who rode yesterday -- amputees, post traumatic stress order, traumatic brain injury -- they consider president bush a fellow soldier and still consider him the commander in chief. let's watch. >> he's the one that i served most under. it was great to be able to

shake his hand and just express gratitude for being the great commander in chief that he was. >> it's always nice to be able to talk to people that are in the same time frame and looking for answers for what ails them. i mean, there's that, plus combat is another bond. it doesn't matter branch of service. we're all brothers in arms. >> guys, i have with me pack jackson -- pam jackson, president bush's personal bike mechanic and probably the reason i'm still alive here. she has my bicycle with her and has been working with president bush for over three years. good morning, pam. >> good morning, sir. >> good to see you, today. you're an inspiration yourself. >> thank you. >>steve: marc, good job on the first of the three legs of the bike ride. how exhausted and pooped are you today? >> it's tiring, but you get

over that quickly, steve, because of the feeling you have. president bush said last night at this dinner, these guys are not showing any self-pity. that's the most amazing thing. they're getting back to life, getting back to the new normal. mountain biking itself is a metaphor for life because you fall down, you pick yourself back up, you go on, you go up hills, you think you're never going to make it to the top. you get to the top. you crest the hill and you feel great. those guys, you don't feel the pain when you're with them. we interviewed an amputee yesterday who said i don't consider myself disabled. steve. >>steve: marc siegel down near crawford, texas. they're going to be riding today and tomorrow as well. thank you for getting up early with us. thank you, sir. >> day two today, over 30 miles today. some of it is going to be riding down to the prairie chapel church. it is going to be an inspiring day today. >>steve: take two advil at the end of the day.

routines you know it's serious. >>steve: once it's in the mainstream media, then everybody is talking about it. that's what happened to the george bush administration. that's what brian and i were talking about on his radio show yesterday. so far it's been very selective in the coverage. maybe now it's going to change. >>brian: for your headlines. for the first time since her affair with the former c.i.a. director david petraeus, paul la broadwell speaking out. she says i have remorse for what this has caused. broadwell said she turned to faith and volunteering to get her through it and despite the affair thanked her husband for staying by her side. >>anna: students arrested at school for a high-tech cheating scheme. police in arizona say three

with these showers and storms over the next couple of days. a little unsettled to kick off the holiday weekend. we're talking about relatively cool temperatures. new york city tomorrow, you won't make it out of the low 50's. keep that in mind if you're headed to the beaches, across new jersey. monday much better. returning to sunshine and more pleasant temperatures. into the 70's. look at the radar. we have showers and storms across parts of texas, just to the west of the city of austin, new york city showers rolling on through the area. also into parts of new england. it is going to be so cool out here that parts of new england, some of the high elevations, get this, could actually pick up a little bit of snow. that's what is going to be going on across parts of new england. a little unsettled for memorial day weekend. don't let it put a damper on the weekend. have fun. grab an umbrella. >>steve: maria molina outside. roughly 50 million americans do not have

health insurance, and obamacare was intended to remedy that. that's what the president said. but what happens when employers can't afford to insure their employees? the result? more hours cut. workers earning less money. and the bottom line in some cases employees being laid off. our next guests are stuck between a rock and hard place. with us is andrew hemmingway and alan farp, c.e.o. of the restaurant chain lion and rose, which i believe is an irish pub. good morning to both of you. andrew, when obamacare went through, and as we get closer to the complete implementation, you sat down with your accountant and you guys figured what with regard to how many employees you can have on staff? >> this is one of the great questions. when we sat down and started talking even several months ago when obamacare was passed, there was very little guidelines given from the administration on exactly

how this bill was going to be implemented. and even today there's still lots of questions. i read this week that they're writing over 400 new pages a day of implementation guidelines. even today, even talking to my accountant in the last couple of days we've said we have no idea how all of this is going to be implemented. in my business we used a lot of subcontractors and there's a lot of questions about what do these subcontractors count as? are they going to be included? >>steve: your company, allen, went through the same thing. you had to take full-time employees and do what to their hours? >> we had to cut a lot of our employees. all the hourly employees from 40 to 28 hours a week. with the news lately, the scandals, obamacare has taken a back seat recently but this thing is headed for us like a train. and we, the american people, are on the tracks.

in 2014 this employer penalty is going to kick in. at least it will unless there's enough states that stand up and are able to stymie the progress. but if it does kick in, in 2014 i believe you will see thousands of businesses close the doors because they can't afford to provide the government-mandated level of health care. and th-pb they can't a -- and then they can't afford to pay the penalties if they don't. if thousands of businesses close, you lose thousands of jobs, it shrinks the tax base. i believe that could plunge us into a great depression. >>steve: into a depression, i hope you're wrong. >> obamacare could be the trigger. >>steve: it could be the trigger. andrew, when you look at your business, this is the last thing you need right now, isn't it? >> of course. it really is challenging just to make a profit in good times. running a business is a difficult thing. and then to have your government constantly

working against you, you know, honestly, i told the producer i was a little nervous about coming on the show talking against obamacare in light of what the i.r.s. has been doing. you know, knowing that potentially putting my name and company's name out there, am i opening myself up to scrutiny? i don't know. those things compile and every single day we're learning new things about how our government is literally working against us trying to, for all intents and purposes put us out of business. it's disheartening. >>steve: alan, i'll give you the final word. >> i'm so concerned about the consequences of this that we've actually joined other employers and individuals and filed a suit against the government over this. the reason i did this was to fight for my employees and their right to work a full-time 40-hour week should they choose to do so and the right of our businesses to continue to keep doors open and the right of other business

owners and employees to have the same right. >>steve: we thank you both for telling us how obamacare is impacting your business. in the meantime, 17 minutes before the top of the hour. two people dead, several sent to the hospital but doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. that mystery just solved. a big update coming up. the best sun screen for all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so you can spend less time doing paperwork.

the army doctor on trial for the rampage at ft. hood still collecting a military check while victims try to get what they need for help. a letter asking to reclassify the attack by major hassan, a flat out denial. they claim there is no decision to classify this shooting at work place violence and no benefit has been denied to any of the victims. >> it's false that the benefits haven't gotten to the victims. i have had them in my office, their loved ones, talk to people on the phone constantly. they need help. they need to be able to get the

accolades and health care they deserve. they are not getting it. it was not a terrorist attack in the eyes of our government. we have really let them down. but a couple of colleagues and myself, bipartisan, i should say, have been trying to get the department of the army and department of defense to reclassify this. so far we haven't gotten there. this effort is not something that we can just sweep under the rug and hope it goes away. i served at ft. hood. i know the type of people these are. they are great americans. we're not serving them at this point. >> there are not a lot of rich people. here is the army's response to you directly. at this point the individuals wounded or killed in the tragic incident do not qualify for the award or the purple heart because the award criteria has not been met. please be assured based on new, relevant evidence the army is

willing to reconsider this decision at a later time. your reaction? >> there is a small silver lining there. basically they are saying the elements have not been met because they don't consider it combat-related or terrorist even though the guy was screaming anwar -- or, akbar. he was radicalized by anwar al-awlaki who we killed because he was an al qaeda leader but that somehow doesn't meet the standard. there is a silver lining that says at this time if new evidence comes into play and what i'm hoping when i meet with the general who wrote the response, and he agreed to meet with me, he says during the trial if those elements do come out that he was radicalized and it was jihad as the president said yesterday. then they might consider reclassifying it. we are going to stay on this. i don't think this is over by any means. >> the president mentioned that yesterday in relation to boston

which was clearly terrorist activity, clearly with an agenda. i think the president might have helped your case a lot in writing his speech yesterday at the national center of defense. we thought the same thing. when he put ft. hood in the same breath as boston, used the words extremism and jihad in the same sentence he was basically making our case for us. it's what any american would think when you live in this country today and you are faced with the threats that we are faced with and the people we are faced with. doesn't matter if it happens in kabul, iraq or at ft. hood. >> or boston. >> if the motivation is the same then the victims should be treated the same e. >> sadly, this won't be the last time we have to deal with this. thank you so much. you're doing a great thing. >> thanks, brian. >> straight ahead, the woman at the center of the scandal to

of life, it's important to understand what press and reportage means to the future and the stability of this country. we have seen a pattern where the obama administration, through the attorney general, has served to chill the press. i will say one more thing. >> all right. >> to say james rosen, a great reporter and a person of integrity is guilty as the justice department did of violations of the espionage act under which people have been executed in the past that's absolutely incredible. >> it is incredible, the fact that when the story first came out, okay, there is an fbi guy, the u.s. attorney e, and they talked a judge into signing this thing. they talked about espionage, coconspirators and making rosen out to be a criminal. then you have the attorney general signing off on the search warrant. wait a minute. doesn't the attorney general work for the president? isn't the president calling the shots?

for the president to say journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their job but his guy is doing that, it seems incredible. >> it has to be evaluated based on the history. the fox news chairman talked about it in a statement to the people at fox news that there is an era of intimidation going on. we saw it in the mccarthy era when people were afraid, when the press were afraid. when the press became poodles for the people running the country. fox news is not a collection of poodles. fox news understands when they are free the country can be free. the government's enemies need to be free no matter what happens. >> amen. >> unfortunately, fox and press organizations have been declared enemies of the state. we have to get back on track. if the president can do it, that's wonderful. we'll watch for that meeting between the a.p., fox, the times

and the white house to see where the constitution stands. >> we'll see if the president meant what he said yesterday. >> let's see. >> peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. >> have a good memorial day, everyone. >> you as well. meanwhile it's one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. >> how did you not know this was from chow? >> i thought it was ciao like good-bye. >> okay.

another cast, who would they have fun with? >> that's a great question. iron man and his team could be fun. >> you produce. >> you direct. >> we'll do another one. >> that's the smartest question we have had over the past i don't know, two days. >> i'd like to get into lord of the rings and interact with the hobbits. >> yes! >> throw in some "star wars." i want to hang out with r2d2. >> to go head to head with the ocean's 11 crew. all these young cats and the old school gangsters. >> lincoln. >> "jurassic park." see how fast and furious we are then? >> 3.5 out of 5. it's a solid entry.

14 military members who were seriously wounded in iraq and afghanistan are taking part. our own dr. mark siegel was there and talked to bush about what the ride means to him. >> during my presidency and in the post presidency, i have tried to let the families of our troops and the troops know how much i admire and respect them. one way to send the signal is to invite them here to our ranch. we have a handful of wounded vets with us here. but it's really a signal to all the vets that laura and i love and respect them. >> the ride finishes up on sunday. 100 kilometers is a long way. >> geraldo rivera joins us live. >> hi. >> let's start by talking about the guy -- >> nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> good morning. >> did you get a haircut? >> yes, i did. >> he got them all cut. >> sorry about steve jumping

right into the topic. you start talking when you're ready. >> so dr. siegel with president bush and i thought of you teeing off with the president in the tournament golf tournament and the pressure of hitting the ball on the first tee with the cameras. people don't give you credit for your coolness under pressure. >> thank you very much. that's what it said on the prompter. >> would you like to ask me a question? >> i like that topic. let's talk about me. >> we thought about this topic, perfect for you. what happened in london has to be put in perspective. imagine being a soldier and finding yourself at the other end of a machete while you walk down a block in the middle of your city. >> it was disgusting. the most incredibly graphic, grotesque violence. the hatred these men obviously felt for this poor g.i., this british soldier who served in afghanistan in 2000. to run him down.

you know, what was bad enough. then to take out cleavers and chop him up and behead him and then brag about it to passers-by. to wait for the authorities to come as if they wanted to commit suicide by cop. this is the future, brian. this is exactly the jihad we have to worry about. it's not al qaeda in afghanistan or the tribal territories. it is the nadal hassans, anwar al-awlakis. the people grown here, grown and nurtured here. radical sized over the internet or in mosques committing hideous crimes in the name of allah. they are deranged by zealotry. this is virtually unstoppable. the members of the congregation have to see and say something. this is the danger. >> this is a new battlefield for us. the war on terror is so different. how do we e prevent this from happening here?

are we being too soft by not calling it terror? >> that's an interesting point. re hetorical flourish aside. in new york we see something, we say something. you think of the suspicious package or the knapsack abandoned. it applied to abberant behavior. we all know our children go through a rough patch in their teenager years. you work it through, watch them, observe them. if someone is taking a left turn into this kind of violence, this kind of -- really this raw savage butchery, you can tell when someone has gone off the deep end. parents know first, the friends know. you've really got to say something. the fact that both of these fellows were on the radar in terms of british intelligence, i really do believe, is it mi-6? they have to look at their own.

in terms of relative population there are more muslims in the united kingdom than in the united states. we have a population of 330 million. their population is smaller, 60, 70 million. they have a problem in dealing with the radicalization of young people. they really -- as onerous as it may be, they have to really enhance their own domestic security. they have to have sources within the community. i really believe that every major mosque, particularly where the preacher is someone who has a history of radicalized sermons has to really be plugged in, in a sense. look at the surveillance we have here against reporters, as besign as you could get. people doing their job. we have justice department and the fbi probing them, following them, sniffing down -- >> eric holder signed off on it. >> it is deeply distressing. it is the evidence of overkill. that's the kind of asset and those kinds of fbi probers of

james rosen should be probing the butcherers and the tsarnaevs, asans and al-awlakis. >> were you shocked by it? >> the u.s.? >> james rosen. were you stunned? >> i have been, as you know from sitting on the couch every friday, generally very supportive of the president of the united states. up to the and including his impassioned statement again to close guantanamo and his defense of drone strikes. i'm with the president generally speaking in these areas. i was deeply disappointed by this. this seems the most excessive. if this was a conservative republican administration and they were guilty of what i call rosengate here where they take our james rosen who is just doing his job. that's what we do. we talk to sources. you know, come on. have a cup of coffee. whatever. please, you play to my ego and vanity every morning. >> do i. you always press charges.

>> i constantly ask that you be surveilled. joking aside, this is something that truly deserves an independent arbiter. i would love to see our boss sit nose to nose with eric holder to let him know what he thinks of this un-american, probably unconstitutional and even barely legal, certainly distasteful and counter productive tactic of harassing and terrorizing journalists. who will return our calls in d.c. anymore? it is an attempt to criminalize the journalism profession in a sense that it will make everyone fearful of pursuing leads, doing stories except those stories that the administration deems acceptable. it's deeply disturbing. >> all right. watch gerald dlooo this weekend listen to him on the radio. >> i'm actually off this

weekend. my nephew is getting married. >> do you approve of the woman? >> i do actually. we'll be driving with my grandma. wonder how many pit stops we'll make? >> have a great weekend. >> enjoy it. >> all right. straight ahead, hey, kids, i'm taking you home because school got cancelled. >> we are bringing you back home. apparently you get another day -- [ screaming ] >> the kids are so excited. too bad the bus driver is pulling their leg. he was just kidding. the reaction is hilarious. you are such a lawyer. find out what the kids do when they find out they were punked. >> and a special prosecutor may be needed for answers to the irs scandal. our next guest says this could help the white house. don't go anywhere.

she had nothing to do with targeting the conservatives. but lois lerner signed cover letters informing groups applying for tax exempt status they weren't eligible.

now some are calling for a special prosecutor or counsel to in fa investigate the irs tactics. could it be to the benefit of the white house? let's talk to robert ray who, as you know as independent counsel joins us live. >> good morning. >> there are actually benefitses to the white house if an independent counsel were appointed. >> sure. you have a huge public outcry. hard to know whether that will continue into next week after the holiday weekend. if it does, it sbeinterferes wi the president's agenda. it calls for appointing a special counsel. >> like what. >> it allows for the president to move on. time for an independent person to conduct an investigation. it allows the white house to say we can't comment further because there is an ongoing investigation. >> some have suggested, look, one of the reasons, you know, the networks led with the president talking about drones. yesterday it was to divert attention from the fact that lernor promised to tell the

truth and took the 5th. that's embarrassing for the white house. you figure jag carney would love to say, i would love to answer your questions about the irs controversy -- not scandal. but i can't. independent counsel is looking into it. >> when a witness takes the 5th amendment and that's a government official it spells trouble. the question is whether or not the ordinary processes of the department of justice are capable of doing this. they are clearly capable from the standpoint that they are professional. but if republicans continue to contend then, the public agrees that really they are not in the best position to do a credible, independent investigation. inevitably we may get to the point where a special counsel is necessary. >> plus, it could take two years. by then people have forgotten about it. we are talking about hillary clinton, chris christie and everybody else. that's something else. what's the down side to a special counsel for the white house? >> there are significant down sides. the most readily apparent is you lose control over the

investigation. it will be an independent person. that person will, guess what, be independent and will take the investigation where the facts take the investigation. >> if somebody is lying it could hit the fan. >> there could be perjury, prosecutions, underlying criminal conduct. we are only ten days into the inquiry. hard to know where it goes. >> robert ray, independent counsel on whitewater, thank you very much. have a good holiday weekend. >> you, too. >> thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. before you head out for memorial day you will want to hear this. the best sunscreen for those women just revealed. you will be surprised. it's not expensive. want a great vacation home? how about this view for under $200,000. our guest has plenty of them. first we'll hit a high note with our all american summer concert series. michael bolton here live coming up. new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain.

ability to have that sort of outdoor party space like that. >> plenty of space for rocking chairs on the gorgeous porch, too. a waterfront cabin in texas. $199,000. how about this one? >> another one. this is a one bedroom, one and a half baths, 1300 square feet. this is beautiful waterfront cabin with its own dock. it's got a wonderful sort of party deck out there by your waterfront which is fantastic. the house itself has vaulted ceilings. it's got a beautiful stone fireplace and it's really a great opportunity to have a vacation home. your mortgage payment including taxes and insurance is about $845 on this a month. that's a very good deal. >> certainly. you can see the kids outside making a big firepit. >> oh, yeah. >> house number three is a beach house in tampa, florida, for $170,000. >> if you like the beach, tampa

is great. this is three bedrooms, three and a half baths. this is not only in tampa where you are near the beach. it's on water front. the house has a beautiful great entry. big family room. cathedral ceilings, a chef's kitchen, french doors and a wonderful lanai with the beautiful water view. plus you are near tampa beach. >> a great investment for families to make memories. thank you very much for your time. good stuff. >> my pleasure. >> 27 minutes after the hour. the woman at the center of a scandal that helped to bring down general david petraeus breaking her silence. what paula broadwell is saying. plus, meet the family sending all ten e of their home schooled children to college by the age of 12. and michael bolton is here singing live. to catch the entire performance go to foxandfriends.com/concert.

i guess time magazine found a picture of president obama at his high school prom back in 1979. show the picture. i love the picture. look at that. that was back in 1979. let me tell you how long ago that was. back then obama had to ask a girl for her phone number. he couldn't illegally obtain it through the justice department. you had to ask. >> timely as today's headlines. >> michael bolton is coming up. and a bunch of kids who were in college as early as 12. the magic behind the mastery. >> how did they do it? speaking of the headlines, the irs official at the center of the targeting scandal refuses to resign. she's been placed on administrative leave and she's getting paid. this as we learn she may have been more involved in conservative targeting scandal

than first thought. a series of cover letters published by the national review online show her signature is on dozens of cover letters sent to conservative organizations currently represented by the american center for law and justice. including this one sent to the ohio liberty council on march 16th, i believe, of last year. the examiner claims lerner made a substantial living at the irs. according to data they received through the freedom of information act she earned more than $740,000 over four years when you count her bonuses. wow. >> since the first time since her affair with general david petraeus, paula broad well says, quote, i have remorse for the harm that this has caused, the sadness it has caused my family and other families. despite the affair, she thanked her husband for staying by her side. >> meanwhile coming up on a big

you are about to meet a special family. kip and mona lisa harding wrote the book "college by 12." they have ten kids, home schooled and they are all professional, way ahead of the curve. one of the reasons america is the best country on earth. a round of applause as we get ready for michael bolton. [ applause ] >> first of all, you decided to home school your kids. why? >> we felt it was our responsibility. that's a big choice. we wanted to be totally in control, make sure they had the right upbringing and they accelerated. >> i would say so. kip, what's the curriculum? can we borrow it as a country? >> yeah. go to kickstartercollegeby12.com. we are creating software to help families home school and get accelerated if they are in public or private school. the key now is just to love the kid, be around them as much as you can. be the influence for your kids. the more you're there, no one

can replace you -- the father or mother or however your family is arranged. people really need to ebb take charge of their kids and love them to death. >> let's meet some of the kids but first in terms of the format you are not going to the typical home school textbooks. >> no, no. we introduce high school subjects at 8, 9, 10. let them take the a.c.t. or s.a.t. at 10 and 11. letting them go to a college campus part time by 11 or 12 to get their feet wet. >> who's this? >> thunder. >> thunder is a doctor. he went to school. he's taking patients after michael bolton is done. nice to you're heath. >> yes. >> when did you graduate high school? >> i was 10. >> then you went to -- >> huntington college. >> now you are -- >> now i just graduated from troy university with a master's in computers science. >> how old? >> 17. >> did you feel, what am i doing

on campus with all these young adults? >> it's normal for me. my three older sisters did the same thing. >> you are? >> serena. >> when did you graduate? >> 12. >> he beat my record. >> congratulations. that's an interesting rivalry. so you go to college. where did you go? >> huntington college as well. >> what are you doing now? >> i just graduated from medical school last weekend in georgia, from georgia pcom. >> wow. through medical school already. you want to be -- >> a physician in the military. i'm in the navy as well. >> kip, you were in the military? >> retired air force. >> could you tell me what you do and as you talk to your friends what are you doing that they are not doing? >> what am i doing? >> in school, home. taking math 9, english, geometry. >> we did all those things but at our own pace. rather than a class of 30 we

were a class of 3. we did it at our own pace and just accelerated. it was a great experience. there are a lot of us. we had lots of social activit s activities, fun things. >> it was like the old school days where the parents are teachers. >> what's your name? >> katrina. >> what grade? >> 9th or 10th. >> how old are you? >> 10. >> so you'll graduate in two years you hope? >> yes, probably. >> for people watching at home, how do you explain what you do that they are not doing in school when you talk to friends? >> i guess i'm staying at home instead of going to school. and i'm doing it faster. >> you're doing it faster. no lunch period. you don't have to bring your sneakers for gym. what's your name? >> seth. >> how old? >> 12. >> you're about to graduate? >> i have started at faulkner university. i have been there for three
