next week, lone star. michael, you going to stay for the after the show show? >> i'm going to stick around. once again, the amazing amanda brown [ cheers and applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, amanda brown. bill: good morning, everybody. we have brand-new developments on the irs scandal. lois lerner who refused to testify on the irs scandal is on paid leave because she refused to resign. martha: i'm martha maccallum. senator chuck grassley said the irs commissioner demanded her resignation and she said no she would not do that.

barney and company, morning to you. paid leave, sounds like a good summer. >> reporter: 172,000 dollars per year, that was her income in 2009 and 2010. senators levin and mccain said fire miss lerner. the new head of the irs said would you please resign. miss lerner said no, i have done nothing wrong. so the new head of the irs said you are on administrative leave. since you have not been convicted of anything you get paid while you are on leave. bill: how long does it last? >> reporter: that's a legal question. if miss lerner is forced to go back and testify again and if

she refuses to answer questions she could be held in contempt of congress. does the many stop at that point? that's a legal question. we are not sure about that. anyway you slice it this money keeps on coming. bill: she has protection. how does that work? >> it's obviously a different situation from working in the private sector. for most private sector employees you refuse to answer questions from your boss and you are asked to clear off the desk and get out of there. in government it is very different, unless you are convicted of something you get paid. bill: she could come back again and answer questions.

>> reporter: that is the question. did she abdicate her fifth amendment rights or did she not. darrell issa is looking into that. bill: see you at 9:20. have a terrific weekend. martha: there is more action in a scandal plaguing washington. president obama is ordering a review of the justice department snooping into the media including fox news james rosen. but the only problem is he asked the justice department to essentially investigate itself. the doj seized the records of many reporters including fox news employees. bill: fox news confirming the aj eric holder signed off on that warrant james rosen and he named

reasons as a possible coconspirator. he's accused of leaking information on north korea that goes back a couple years. here is what he said. >> i am not sure how many of those cases i have signed off on. i take them very seriously. i have refused to sign a few. pushed a few back for modifications. bill: the attorney general refused to review. martha: president obama nominated former state department spokesperson victoria nuland, she'll be put up for the post of the assistant secretary of state of european and eurasian affairs. the promotion will require

senate approval. so her actions in the aftermath of benghazi will likely come under scrutiny when she sits before that panel. interesting move. bill: this is one of the topics rand paul took on sorting through the scandals, piling up in washington. >> we have an old mcdonald's farm of scandals. here a scan today, there a scandal. he's putting off the ultimate reckoning. hes saying in 30 days we'll do this, in 90 days we'll do this. the irs scandal has been going on over a year. the report is out there, i think they know who is responsible. but he's not getting anybody. nobody is being fired or removed from office. it's a bit of misdirection. bill: he went on to say the

president may be in danger of losing the country ... martha: that's why people are interested in the appoint of an independent prosecutor. it might be something appeal together white house in some respects because it moves it off their plate. they can say we can't comment on that, we appointed a special prosecutor. >> bill: if you are a reporter and ask a question they can say hey, we can't go there, that's an investigation. martha: this fox news alert this morning, and this horror on the highway. did you see these pictures this morning? that bridge submerged. it happened in washington state. cars were plunging into the river. the bridge is 55 miles from seattle. it's near mount ever northern.

remarkably and faithfully in this case everybody is okay. one survivor said the roadway disappeared in front of his eyes. he hit the brakes but not in time. he went off that bridge with his wife and moments ago authorities say they know what caused the collapse. david lee miller joins us on that. >> reporter: as bad as this was. it could have been a great deal worse and it bears repeating. no one was killed. but yes, it was terrifying for drivers as the bridge along the i-5 corridors collapsed. one driver, a navy sailor described seeing the bridge disappear into a puff of dust. he saw the water holding and you slide on as tight as you can. you popped it back into place and then he helped his wife who appeared to be in shock.

>> when this call initially came in some of the deputy boot operators were on duty. they are. >> reporter: a witness on the shoreline who watched the collapse described the whole thing as surreal. that bridge span that gave way to 50 feet above the water. just a few moments ago i spoke to our reporter on the scene dan springer. martha: it sounds like we are learning more about what prompted this. >> reporter: we learned a short time ago the head of the washington state patrol says the cause of the collapse with us an oversized truck that hit an overhead span. that truck made it off the bridge and that driver stayed at the scene cooperating with investigators. that bridge which was built in

1955 was listed as functionally obsolete. it has what they call a sufficiency rating of 57.4 out of 100. the am bridge in state has a rating of 80. this is going to be a problem for drivers not just for the memorial day weekend but for the foreseeable future. this bridge is on a major artery that links the canadian border with seattle. it's expected to lead to major delays. people are lucky to be alive. martha: they sure are. and it raises questions about bridges built at that time in the country. fit was built in 1955. 77,000 vehicles use the iron framework bridge every day it was classified as functionally obsolete. which doesn't mean they classified it as dangerous, they are saying we don't build

bridges like that anymore. we have new ways of doing it. bill: it what is a much different scene the last time this happened. the last deadly bridge collapse happened in minneapolis, august 2007. dozens of cars and bus and 8 lanes of traffic. 13 were killed. 145 were injured. it took a year to rebuild that bridge in minneapolis. 10 minutes past the hour. i have got to breaking news. we are just getting reports off the wires that british fighter jets escorted a passenger jet believed to be from pakistan airlines over british air space and leading it to an airport to escort it to land. again it's very early right now. we are getting details on this just now. a bit more on that right after the break here. martha: the white house asking to get rid of a key law put into

effect after september 11 to keep us safe as president obama effectively says the global war and terror, the way we have been doing it, is over. we'll talk to mayor rudy giuliani who led america through the worst attack in america. bill: how makers want to talk to a dozen people about the benghazi attack as the speaker of the house suggests the obama administration has real problems on this and other. >> the administration hasn't been up front with the american people on benghazi and suggesting the reporters are criminals for doing their job. when can't get a straight answer on the irs. with wear seeing from the administration arrogance of power. when americans can't count on truth from their government we have a big problem. come here, boy.

[ female announcer ] from meeting customer needs... to meeting patient needs... ♪ to wireless is mitless.s... martha: we have breaking news coming out of the united kingdom where fighter jets are escorting a passenger plane coming from

pakistan. it was headed to manchester. buff it was diverted just outside of metropolitan london. 2997 passengers are onboard that plane. we are look for more information when we get it. bill: president obama pushing to end the war on terror for good. calling for a resolution absolutely critical in the days after 9/11. now the president says it does more harm than good. >> it's nearly 12 years old. the afghan war is coming to an end. al qaeda is a shelf itself. they have not carried out a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11. bill: snare giuliani, a former prosecutor. he said a lot in this speech. this war like all wars must end.

>> the war end when the enemy stops trying to kill you. that would be likening the second world war without the nazis and germans defeated. the president can say all he wants, there is no war on terror. he's become irrelevant. because the terrorists are conduct tag war against us. how are we going to respond to it? are we going to respond by putting a head in the sand the way this administration has done? i think those signals by the president help create an atmosphere where if there wasn't an investigation there should have been. i think the bureaucracy is afraid to identify people as islamic terrorists. bill: cameron came out and

called it muslim terrorists caringy out the murder in daylight. >> the guy yells als allah akba. anand announces it's terrorism. this is like 10 serial killings and police refuse to recognize the connection between the 10 killings. they are never going to catch the killer. these are not random acts of terror. the guys in london were motivated by the same thing as the guys in boston. they were motivated by extremist lit amic thinking. if you don't see it that way --

not on is it hard to fight. you send confusing signals to bureaucracies. president obama has sent horrible signals. i haven't seen a president send signals like anything since i don't know who. bill: whether it's the irs scandal, whether it's the ap and our colleague james reasons. when you look at that, what is most offensive? what sticks? >> four people died in benghazi. i don't believe they had to die. i think the government fit had reacted to the request for security beforehand and not have political expediency trump security those people would be alive. i think it's outrageous that we didn't immediately send assets there. whether they could have gotten

there in time or not. i think the lying they have done since then is totally outrageous. the media is -- i don't know. the "new york times" put lois lerner's invocation of the fifth amendment on the business section and criticized the irs for not going after apple. bill: you have the james rosen story and a 100-law year on the books. john boehner made the comment yesterday, the lights are on at the white house, no one is home. republicans are starting to make the case that no one is home and no one is responsible. the president is now in favor of a shield law. but who -- what is the shield law for.

to protect against him. it's like pass a law so i don't do it. the reason we need the shield law was his justice department was totally outrageous. we don't need a shield law if we have a president we can trust. we don't need a shield law if we don't have an attorney general who decide he would lie to allege rosen was a flight risk it's a flatout false statement. who is going to investigate. eric holder is going to investigate eric holder. is he going to say, mr. holder did you authorize that going to the other side of the table, yes, i did, i authorized it. martha: definite le more on that to come. in the meantime picking through the massive destruction from the tornado in oklahoma. survivors continue to pick through the rubble.

bill: there are more arrests in london in this brutal daylight terror attack on a british soldier in broad daylight raising questions on whether this is part of a wider plot. >> this country will be absolutely resolute in its stand against extremism and terror. we'll never give in to terror or tear frism any of its -- or terrorism in any of its forms.

bill in the u.k. fighter jets escorted a passenger plane from pakistan. pakistani air lines, we don't

know what happened onboard. we don't know whether it's been resolved. police and partners are responding. so that's what we have. when you get more, you will hear it here. martha: oklahoma, students and teachers reunited after the ef-5 tornado that ripped through their school a couple days ago. it ripped a path of destruction 20 miles long. senior national correspondent john roberts is live as he has been throughout for more. all of this happened just as students and teachers were wrapping up the school year and getting ready for summer. >> reporter: as we visit another of these destroyed neighborhoods, it's a tragic irony that school would have been out. there would have never been any of those students in any of

those schools if the tornado had hit a day earlier. we saw teachers and some student trying to salvage whatever they could out of the school before they demolished it. we met one tenacious teacher. she and her husband and three kid were inside that school when the tornado came blasting through. she was actually trapped underneath a wall with her husband and youngest daughter. her husband managed to crawl his way out and lift up some of the debris so she could get out. she was back at that school for the first time and here is what she told me about being back. >> i think it's incredible walking through there. it's incredible that we all made it out alive. we walked through there and it seems impossible. there is cars in the classrooms. i don't know how we made it out

alive. bill: you can see she had a bad bruise on her face with a cinder block wall came down on her. two of her daughters came out well on this. one daughter has a problem with her ankle but she seems to be on the mend. martha: you have got to walk in the schools yourself. bill: i was taken into the bowels of the building and shown where he ran to. he was told that the second grade was trapped in a collapsed classroom. he jumped into that pit of all the collapsed cinder block walls. he found 18 student and two teachers. they got the student out and one of the teachers out. one of the teachers said i'm stuck. he picked up the story from

there. >> i said i'll get out of here, she said i'm stuck. there is something in my leg. when i looked, there was a table leg through her right calf. not only was she impaled but the table leg was screwed to the table. >> reporter: he managed to pastor a pocket knife and she uncrews the leg from the table. they got her to the hospital and she is doing ok. there are 7 children died and two of them 9 and 8 years old will be laid to rest today. martha: incredible stories. thank you, john. bill: breaking news out of england. a passenger jet escorted by two

fighter jets. we'll take you live to london. martha: a commuter bridge collapses on an interstate sending cars plunging into the frigid water below. we have the latest live on the scene when we come back. the lat. the lat. so you can spend less time doing paperwork. and more time doing paperwork. ink from chase. so you can.

bill: breaking news. fighter jets escorting a

passenger plane in london. >> reporter: the plane has land at stanstad airport it was a pakistan airline from lahore, pakistan. we don't know if the pilot has been able to communicate with security personnel. two typhoon air force planes were scrambled as soon as something was deemed to be amiss. we don't know what the problem is. it could be something quite minor or something quite serious. it's not as uncommon as you might think for these air force planes to be scrambled to escort passenger planes that potentially are in some sort of distress through british air space. that plane that was originating from lahore. and an investigation is ongoing right now.

bill: the pilots sent out an alert from the plane? >> reporter: pennsylvania what we understand a web site that tracks airlines said the pilot put out an emergency signal. we understand sometime about an hour ago. again it is not clear what that emergency signal was about. is there a potential hostage situation on board, is there something technical? we are waiting to get those details and hopefully we'll have some soon. bill are when you get them compton back. martha: the transportation department is investigating after a bridge collapsed. three victims are recovering. they are said to be okay. the bridge located on interstate a, 55 north of seattle the near the canadian bored.

it's near mount vernon if you know the area. travis, i get you guys are busy with this one this morning. >> reporter: this is a busy thing. this section of i5 carries 70,000 vehicles per day. and any time we have an incident of this magnitude, it's pretty darn bad as you can see from the photos. martha: the word is a truck hit something. what do you know about how this started? >> we have reports from the state patrol, essentially linking a overheight, oversized mode striking sections of the bridge, and the system that collapsed of the structure. >> what was in front of it fell? is that your understanding? >> the back of it fell. the driver did make it across the bridge. we are working with the washington state patrol to further investigate how this

happened. right now as far as the department of transportation goes, we are in triage mode and investigation mode. we are making sure we have traffic rerouted. the other rural areas will not be able to handle the amount of traffic i5 would. if you are traveling from this area try not to. it's going to be a tough memorial day weekend. martha: what about the fact it was built in 1955 and was categorized as functionally obsolete. but not dangerous. what does that mean? >> reporter: we inspect all of our bridges in washington state every two years. we are not going to let the public drive open an unsafe roadway. in this case that rating -- it was hit by a truck by caused it to collapse. without going too far into the

technical labeling. we inspect it. struck by an overhead load and caused the chance. martha: you are saying this truck that was too heavy to be on the bridge. it made it to the other side but it weakened the structure and what was behind it fell? >> it wasn't too heavy it was too tall. we had the truck smash birders it was not -- smash girders. it wasn't too heavy, it was too tall. it caused a section of the bridge to collapse. we'll work with the ntsb as well as the washington state patrol and other local authorities. we'll give this a full investigation. let's look at what caused it right now. martha: thank god those three people are okay.

hypothermia. but they are going to be okay. >> we got lucky on this one. good to talk to you. good luck with all of that. bill: fox news confirms eric holder approved the seize you're of james rozen's and fox's e-mails. martha: who ordered the military to stand down the night of the benghazi military attacks. lawmakers want to hear from a dozen state department officials. >> what happened with those personnel, they remained in tripoli with us. the medic went with the nurse to the hospital, and learned his skills to the treatment and care of our wound. >> how did the personnel react

to being told to stand down? >> they were furious. i'm so glad you called. thank you. we're not in london, are we? no. why? apparently my debit card is. what? i know. don't worry, we have cancelled your old card. great. thank you. in addition to us monitoring your accounts for unusual activity, you could also set up free account alerts. okay.

martha: aftershocks are still rattling. aftershocks are still rattling northern california after a 5.7 magnitude quake hit last night. it could be felt up to 145 miles away in sacramento. some people describing rattled

nerves, but thankfully no serious damage. >> i felt the table move, thin looked at the wall, i heard the walls creek. i thought somebody hit our house with their car. >> i felt the couch go from side to side. i thought it was a car driving by. it it wasn't shake together point to where it was noticeable. martha: they are waiting for the aftershocks which are sometimes felt after this. so we'll keep an eye on that. bill: the benghazi investigation is getting wider. lawmakers want to interview 13 state department officials including senior advisers to secretary of state hillary clinton. john bolton, a fox news contributor to, welcome back to our program. what do you make of this? >> i think it's a sign of the

seriousness of chairman darrell issa's investigation. people say where is the smoking gun and where is the revelation in front of the tv cameras about what happened in benghazi. i think the way we find out what went wrong before, during and after the attack is the long, slow slog off the tv cameras of interviews of people like these 13 individuals and a review of hundreds of thousands of document. that's how the facts will come out. bill: if you thought benghazi was fading, this would suggest the opposite. it's not going to fade away. this was a catastrophe for the united states. in his speech yesterday, the:president of the use the still doesn't understand what a blow we suffered. so i think this investigation by

chairman i issa and others is critical for our own safety's sake. bill: a poll came out yesterday that i think is reflective how this story continues to percolate. 62% believe the president could have done more to help the americans that night in benghazi. >> it's a compelling argument that the people of the united states actually expect the president to do something to defend them and their fellow citizens around the world. that's why again i think the president's speech was a further retreat from the war on terror. he couldn't acknowledge the attack on benghazi on september 11. it was an act of international terrorism. he didn't want to acknowledge it with respect to the boston marathon bombing. he always thought it was a matter of law enforcement.

i think -- bill: he mentioned benghazi an mentioned boston in that speech. we have already seen that the justice department and others have identified 18 people associated with benghazi attack. but we have not moved against them because we don't have enough evidence to prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in an american courtroom. they are never going to get to an american courtroom and we shouldn't wait for that. this is a fundamental conceptual idea. bill: the president said they meaning al qaeda did not direct attacks in boston and did not carry out the attacked in 9/11. when john kerry campaigned for president, that was his strategy, to turn it into a police act instead a military act.

>> you define al qaeda as a small band trapped in waziristan. but it's bad for national security. bill: victoria nuland has been recommended for a promotion. >> she is very qualified. there is no suggestion she has done anything wrong with respect to benghazi. but she is also an eyewitness on a day-to-day basis for the last two years. there are a lot of interviews she will have to go through, that's the way the game is played in washington and it's an excellent opportunity for people to learn more about benghazi. i think she was doing what her political masters wanted. that's what foreign officers do.

who told her the talking points were unacceptable. she used the phrase her building management. was that secretary of state clinton? was that secretary of state clinton's chief of staff? that's does mean nuland has doing anything wrong. but the questions she alone can answer are pertinent to this investigation. you have known her for years and she is qualified. >> i would vote to confirm her but i would have a long interview with her. martha: house speaker boehner slamming the white house. he says the lights are on but nobody is home. we'll have a fair and bammed debate. tell me what you think. send me a tweet at martha maccallum. bill: after the penalty phase of this high-profile murder trial end with a hung jury we'll have the latest with a live report and how she reacted.

it's amazie people are when you tell them they could save a lot of money on their car insurance by switching to geico...they may even make you their best man. may i have the rings please? ah, helzberg diamonds. nice choice, mate. ...and now in the presence of these guests we join this loving couple. oh dear... geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

martha: the jury in the jodi arias case is unable to reach a unanimous decision whether she should get life or the death penalty for killing her former boyfriend. so for now jodi arias stays in jail. >> she'll go back to the same cell she was in last night. this will be a two-month delay in going to perryville and going to that cell. she is still going to go to the same cell. whether she gets life or death she'll still get there.

it will just be two months later. she'll not allowed to give interviews, it's surprising she had so much freedom to give them earlier. i guess that will be welcome news for travis alexander's family who was disgusted by that. >> reporter: when you watch those interviews you get frustrated by the way she manipulates words. she seems very calm for the most part. but the sheriff says she'll no longer be allowed to talk to the media. this jury deliberated over 3 days. at the end of the process three female jurors are crying and looked over at travis alexander's family and mouthed the words "i am sorry." they had three questions. the judge sent them back in and said keep trying. but in the end this is what happened.

>> we the jury duly impaneled and sworn in the above entitled action unanimously find having considered all the facts and circumstances that the defendant should be sentenced -- no unanimous agreement. signed foreperson. >> it happened five times before in the history of arizona where a jury could be reseated to go over this whole process again. martha: i guess they were moved by her offer to donate her hair to locks of love and start a book group in prison. >> reporter: there is a lot of sarcasm you can bring in. originally jurors say they won't speak. but you know how things go. we have heard from the jury foreman who said that a couple things. he said her testimony did not help her at all.

she was on the stand for 18 years. he said she was not a good witness, she contradicted her own stories. he said he believed she what is mentally and verbally abused by the victim in this case. but a lot of testimony showed they mentally and verbally abused each other. he didn't mention physical abuse. what will happen is the prosecutor has to decide, the d.a.'s office, will they seat another jury? they will just hear the argument for life or death. this could be a cliff notes version of the opening statement. while jodi arias will not be speaking to media she could speak to jurors if this goes forward and the prosecutor and d.a. say no we are not going for the death penalty. martha: what a story. adam, thank you very much. bill: now we know the attorney

general signed off on the investigation of james reasons and we hear the justice department will investigate the justice department. how is that going to work? martha martha: there have been more arrests made in this week's london terror attack. there is a sign there could be a larger plot. we hear directly from the victim's family. bill: this memorial weekend you will see the president later today. graduation there. so...how'd it go? well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. you've mastered monkey-style kung fu? no. priceline is different now. you don't even have to bid. master hahn taught you all that? oh, and he says to say (translated from cantonese)

"you still owe him five bucks." your accent needs a little work.

martha: we want to get you up to speed on this breaking news. there was a plane that took off out of lahore, pakistan. it was designated to go to manchester airport. then they went to stansted, in london. now we are threrng arrested two men after they scrambled typhoon jets to bring this jet in safely. now the investigation begins and two arrests of two men on that plane this case. we'll get you more on it as it comes in. in the meantime we have this alert for you as well. did eric holder personally sign off on the investigation into fox news? that is a big question this morning. as the president calls on the justice department to

investigate itself. we are also getting lot of attention. we start a brand-new hour of america's newsroom. i'm martha maccallum. bill: imbill hemmer. there are many new questions on the involvement of the attorney general. the president saying he's troubles by the leak investigations. >> i raised these issues with the attorney general who slayers my concerns so he agreed to review existing department of justice guidelines governing investigation that involve reporters. and he will convene a group of media organizations to hear their concerns as part of that review. bill: doug mcelway leads our coverage on this. do we know that the attorney general signed off on this search warrant. >> reporter: that would normally be the process. the guidelines are clear on subpoenas members of the media. the attorney general's

authorization is normally required for the issuance of any subpoena to a member of the news media tore or for the telephone records of a member of the news media. in the case of the doj obtaining the telephone records of the associated press eric holder said he recused himself. in an interviewn with npr in may he was less specific on whether he signed off on the search warrants for james reasons. >> i'm not sure how many of those cases i have signed off on. i take them very seriously. i know i have refused to sign a few, pushed a few back for modifications. >> reporter: if the nbc report is true it puts the administration in a very peculiar place. the president asked his attorney general for a review meaning the attorney general will have to review the attorney general. bill: the u.s. attorney who sought the search warrant against james rosen our come eeg

is defending his decision. what is he saying? >> the u.s. attorney put out a statement earlier this week and in it he said we did not wiretap the foafns an, we did not wirete phones of any reporter or any reporter's parents. but that statement omitted the fact that e-mails from rosen's personal gmail account were obtained as were details from his cell phone and parents phone indicate hog they called, what calls were received as well as time and duration of the calls. yesterday fox news chairman roger an ace chimed in messaging all employees, the administration's attempt to intimidate fox news and its employees will not stand the test of law, the test of decency or the test of time.

they will not frighten us away from the truth. martha: president obama says he is extremely concerned about the targeting of journalists. >> i'm troubled by the possibility that leak investigation by chill the investigative journalism that hold government accountable. martha: the president says he's worried about that. a lot of people with asking questions. chris wallace joins us. it's an actions versus words question from the administration to some extent. >> reporter: let me begin with the question of whether eric holder signed off. i don't know. the on report we have is nbc news who has good sources at the justice department. they say he did sign off. in the ap case he was in fact one of the subjects of investigation. he was interviewed by the fbi as

to whether or not he leaked some of the information in the ap story. there was never any suggestion he was interviewed for a target of that investigation. so there would seem to be no logical reason why he wouldn't have signed off in the james rosen case. there was no reason why he would have recused himself. it's more than likely he did get involved and that raises the question as to the president now giving him this order to review the justice department guidelines to meet with media groups and report back by mid july and it does seem to be a case of eric holder will investigate what eric holder did. martha: what comes next. what avenue would there be to stay that doesn't wash? >> reporter: the media, that's one of the reasons it's so important there be no efforts to prevent us from doing what we do. so that's what we are doing right now in expressing concerns

about that. obviously i think there will be some people in congress talking about it on fox news sunday, this whole question on if they are going to be investigating reporters and getting their phone records and getting their e-mails and perhaps their parents' phone records. you know, i suspect you are going to see other people putting pressure on the administration not only not to do it, but also if you are going to have an investigation should it be an independent group that investigates it. i don't know this rises to the level of a special prosecutor. in this case they had an affidavit. they went to a judge and got approval. i'm not sure it many illegal. but it raises questions about propriety. martha: it's possible eric holder may say he did sign off on this. but the question of the criminal charges that are part of this as well. the aider, abettor and coconspirator which has raised

eye browse and whether he knew -- raised eyebrows. it's a big question, isn't it? >> reporter: absolutely. no reporter has been charged with a crime for receiving information for doing his job. we -- you can argue whether should or shouldn't. but the fact is reporter don't take an oath, are not bound by these laws as the people who get the classified information inside the government. in fairness, i don't know there was ever any indication they were going to criminally charge james rosen. there was a lot of inflammatory language in the justice department document about aider, abettor, abaco conspirator, flight risk which was nonsense. but that was an effort to get the search warrant from the judge. it was inflammatory but i don't think james rosen was the subject of a criminal investigation. martha: i know you will be talking about the irs story.

we learned lois lerner is on paid leave. do you think it's likely that congress will w hard to bring her back to -- do you think it's likely congress will work hard to bring her back to the table again? >> reporter: there is no question they will bring her back. darrell issa said he made a mistake when he dismissed her. he believes when she made her statement that she is not guilty of a crime, she waived her amendment rights. many people say that general statement i did nothing wrong waive an amendment right. ultimately this will go to a judge. lois lerner will come back. she'll be asked theions, she'll refuse to answer. she'll be held in contempt and they will go to a judge. so this will take some time. martha: if that happens she would not be allowed to accept that paid leave.

statement to the media. >> he said to his mum, good night, mum, i hope you had a fantastic day today because you are the most fantastic one in a million mum anyone would wish for. thank you for supporting me all these years, you are not just my mum, you are my best friend. good night, i love you. bill: gregg, hello to you. what is the latest on the latest arrest in this investigation? >> reporter: we are tracking what the police are calling a fast-moving investigation as new amateur video, graphic stuffy merges of the terror attack. one we saw this morning, the suspected killer is standing with bloodied hand and a cleaver and knife in his hand after allegedly hacking to death that british soldier. more house searches were conducted by authorities today. the two people arrested yesterday are accused of

helping, conspiring to murder that soldier. a second attacker identified as well as the first. he's british of nigerian descent and a convert to radical islam. this amid new reports about questions about how fast they responded. about 20 minutes. and how long they were tracking these two. one report says they were on the radar, security services for eight years. authority didn't move because they didn't act. but they acted wednesday. bill: when just heard from the father. an emotional press conference with the family of that murdered soldier. what did they say? >> reporter: the soldier identified as 25-year-old lee

rigby. a come a veteran of come -- a veteran of combat in afghanistan. and a father and husband. listen to his wife rebecca. >> i just want to say i love lee, and i always will. i'm proud to be his wife. he was a devoted far it and we'll both miss him terrible. >> reporter: you might not have gone the every word of that but you got 100% of the emotion. we saw it yesterday. we saw residents bringing flowers and expressing their sorrow for what happened on the

streets. martha: survivors are speak out after a horrifying ordeal as the cars plunged into the river when this bridge collapsed. bill: also a runway reopening after an emergency landing at an airport. what happened and where this happened. martha: the top republican in the house slamming the president for multiple scandals that beset the white house. john boehner says the lights are on but nobody is home. >> the irs violated the rights of americans for two years. the treasury department knew about this last year. the white house was made aware of it last month, yet no one thought that they should tell the president. inconceivable to me. all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts,

snoop house speaker poepb bone

wondering who is in charge of the white house suggesting the recent scandals in washington show that president obama's presidency is shrinking.

>> drip, drip, drip. every day there is something new. we don't know how deep this extends within the administration, and that's why our committees are going to continue to investigate this. but what is most troubling in this white house is that the lights are on, but there doesn't seem to be anybody at home. bill: we thought this would be a good time to talk to juan williams and mary katherine ham. fox news political analyst and editor, and fox news contribut contributor: tkreufp, drip drip, drip, drip, this seems like a prime target for republicans now. >> you have flee scandals and they bring more information forward. not only indignation from the right but steven smith and elijah cummings had plenty of choice words for the i.r.s. officials. i think those tend to continue

to resonate when you get folks on the other side apg reabou angry about them. obama's argument that he doesn't sort of know what is going on i don't think is a particularly great defense. people are going to look at that and go, hey, why not? bill: hence the reason why the lights are on and no one is home. which drip do you want to begin with, juan? >> well it seems to me what we're hearing from john boehner is a little bit of dancing on a few bad weeks of the president and he's trying to drive it. he sees an opportunity here for republicans. so far, bill the polls don't know that the american people agree. i mean, the president's approval ratings have stayed pretty high. they haven't moved on the basis of those polls. i think that more and more americans think that his legislative agenda is stalled, and in the recent fox poll i think it was close to half said he looks like a lame duck more and more. boehner wanted that to happen and didn't want him reelected and wants to have him as a

as -- bill: you're not going to hang our hat on poll numbers. >> if those scandals had traction i think you would have seen something already and you haven't. the closes is the i.r.s. scandal. it's democrats and republicans who are concerned about any abuse of i.r.s. power. bill: to that point this is also what boehner says, an arrogance of power when an americans can't count on semblance of truth and honesty from their government, we've got a big problem. >> that is the thing it's more than a couple of bad weeks for obama politically, it's about for two years whether the government used e this naked abuse of mythical power. mit power. that is a huge problem for the people victimized. i think it's early to look at polls and say it has or has not made a difference. one of the problems for him is that his philosophy of an ever larger government that is ever

more activist and frankly he's the guy who makes it work well, that was his pitch on the campaign trail, he promised to be the opposite of the guy he's being right now, i think that endangers his philosophy because the pitch does not sound like, hey, let's make a giant government that does everything for you and then, i'm not going to know what is going on. to me that undercuts everything he stood for. bill: what do you think about that, juan? an interesting point. >> 4 i don't get it. to me if you had a president that had his finger in every pot i think that would feed concern over intrusive big government that is far too possessive and interfering with all of our rights. >> hold on. bill: the president is saying he doesn't know anything about any i.r.s. investigation. bill: every time you go before a camera and say, i didn't know about it -- >> it's not every time. yesterday he took responsibility for drone attacks that have kept the united states safe. i think he went before the

cameras and said honestly and appropriately that he didn't know about this i.r.s. misconduct or the i inspector general's report until all of us knew. i don't think they wanted the president involved in the business of the i.r.s. bill: we have breaking news. i'm sorry, mk. >> he says the pot is too big to find the stove, he doesn't know where the stove is. bill: we'll look for that stove. we have breaking news east of london. martha: there is a look at the plane, a pia, pakistan airlines plane on the ground at an airport outside of london. it was headed for manchester but rerouted when this was some kind of incident aboard the plane. we know that two men on the plane have been arrested. there are also some reports that there was smoke coming, sky news has reported that witnesses say they saw smoke coming out of one of the sides of the plane. there is word out there that they don't believe this is a terrorist incident. there is a lot of stuff out there, that is what of kind of

is being reportedwadithe moment. we'll get you the latest information as we have it.

bill: a major scare after a train derails forcing two nearby schools to evacuate. the train veering off the track in bear creek, alabama the northwestern part of the state, 21 train cars flipping over and six of them containing wood chips and mineral oil and cotton seed. no reports of injuries. what a scene it was. martha: a special memorial day weekend for some of our nation's war heroes. former president president bush invited wounded warriors from the war on terror to his ranch this texas for a bike ride. marc siegl is a fox news contributor.

dr. siegel, day two of the ride, how are you holding up? >> good morning from the prairie chapel ranch outside crawford, texas, bush's ranch. 15 special wounded warriors were invited here by the president for their ability to overcome immense challenges and over 70 support staff including physicians, paramedics, volunteers are riding with them on these wonderful trails on the ranch this morning, and we rode yesterday, we are riding today. the theme here is spiritual healing and courage and the ability to overcome. and president bush also reached out to the people of oklahoma with a similar message. >> my heart goes out to you. i know exactly what our president must feel when he goes to oklahoma, for example, and sees the utmost devastation, people's lives changed in an instant. the amazing thing about america though is that these communities will rally around their friend. right up the road here in west, lives were lost, the community

wasd and yet people are bound together here from all these little communities to help that community recover. >> reporter: martha the key here is no pity. president bush said that himself at a dinner. no pity, mutual helping each other, courage, responding to the fallen as we memorialize them today and this weekend and also working together to overcome, martha. martha: it looks like so much fun everybody is having out there. it's a great cause and a beautiful place to be doing this. and these veterans must obviously it has special meaning for them that they are making this ride on memorial day h. >> reporter: martha, let me tell you something, they say that president bush has a special quality, he's like one of them. he serves them, he hosts them, they eat food with them here, he hangs out with them. he is their buddy, they are on the trail with him. they gather strength from that and from each other. we heard from a veteran on that. let's hear what he had to say.

>> a soldier named dennis miller was killed november 10th 2004, a wonderful young man within arm's reach of me when he was actually killed and i was wounded in that incident as well. memorial day is very special, a great day to honor our fallen heroes, and because i know so many of them it just has a special meaning. >> reporter: martha, i can't say it any better than that. they are inspired by each other, this is an inspiring day. they are up on these really difficult trails. when they fall down they pick each other up, that's how to get back to the new normal, martha. martha: what an inspiring event that is. and so great of you to bring it to us. dr. siegel, thank you so much. bill: as far as we can tell he's keeping up with the pack, right, siegel? martha: the president is always in the lead, it's his place, he knows the trails well. bill: maybe ao siege could invite us. martha: that would be fun.

bill: underway right now president obama delivering the commencement address at the u.s. naval academy at a nap lust marylanindianapolis there. check the president's remarks streaming live right now foxnews.com online. martha: let's get you back to one of our top stories today. a road block has been set up in washington state after an i5 bridge collapsed into a river about 60 miles north of seattle this happened. look at this picture. cars went into the river. three people are in the hospital, but everybody is okay. it's expected to cause of course a maimer disruption in trade and tories him between seattle and canada, it's a major route. dan springer is live in mount vernon, washington. how did these people survive this 25-foot drop from the bridge? >> yeah, probably more like 50 feet, martha. when you see the mass of twisted metal and the concrete behind me

it really is a he request, how did they survive, well a lot of luck. the time of day,7:00, rush-hour was over. the cars plunged about 50 feet down this -- into the river but they stayed up pretty much out of the water because they landed on the concrete, that is about 15 feet of water but they didn't get all the way down in the water because of that concrete. now the guy who actually was in the pickup truck, that silver pickup truck he pulled his wife out through the passenger side and they got up on top of the hood of that truck and waited for about an hour for rescuers to pull them out. dan sleigh and his wife. she is in the hospital. he is fine and out of the hospital. this is what he said before he went in the water. >> my foot had pushed to the floor as far as possible but forward momentum carried me through and you hold on for dear life at that point, no screaming, no yelling, you just go with it.

>> reporter: and what he saw was an 18 wheeler, a semi truck hit the bridge. that caused a 65-foot wide and 165 section of that bridge to plunge into the water. this bridge was built in 1955. it was said to be structurally obsolete in a study, but it was also -- it passed inspection in november. the ntsb will come out here today and start investigating. martha. martha: thank you very much, dan, unbelievable. bill: there are growing concerns about the competency of the i.r.s. with the scandal there and its ability to oversee what will be a throw in the healthcare law. over the next several months the i.r.s. will take over as the chief enforcer having a role in 47 proceed investigates -gs of the law that includes determining whose insurance meets the law's requirements and who qualifies for a tax credit, among other things. wyoming republican senator john pw barrasso has a problem with this. pwh-fp ochairman of the public

policy committee. good morning to you. >> igood morning. bill: frankly a lot of us don't know what the i.r.s. will have in our healthcare. how will it change do you believe? >> when we see this extremely troubling scandal going on with the i.r.s. right now most people don't realize that the healthcare law actually hires thousands and thousands of morris r-r agentmore i.r.s. agents to inspect and examine us and doesn't provide enough doctors and nurses to take care of us. this is one of the problems with the healthcare law and it will come due this year as people start filling out their tax returns and look to the fact that everybody in the country is going to have to report to the i.r.s. what kind of health insurance they have. and for people who are trying, bill to buy insurance through the exchanges, when they send off the information you think it would go to have to do with health,ette goes to homeland security, social security, credit rating agencies and the internal revenue service. everybody has to apply through

them. bill: regardless of what happens with this i.r.s. scandal, no matter how that turns out this is the law. >> this is the law. bill: now we have to understand the law. how will it effect us? >> well i think it's going to be very troubling for americans when they try -- this they try to buy insurance through the exchanges to see all of the information, private information they are going to have to turn over to the government, specifically related to the health insurance, and this -- i'm a doctor, i look at this and say, why are we having the i.r.s. coming betweena patient and their doctor? nothing should be coming between a patient and their doctor, not an insurance company bureaucrat, not a government bureaucrat, certainly not the i.r.s. bill: there is a budget increase of $440 million. >> they want 2,000 morris r-r agent2,000 more 2,000 more i.r.s. agents this year. bill: i'm reading from the report you filed. americans will be required to report their health insurance information on their tax forms every year. why is that necessary?

>> well because president obama in democratically controlled congress forced through down the throats of the american people a healthcare law that they were saying, no, we don't want this. we want healthcare that is actually going to let us choose -- get the care we need from a doctor, we want it at lower costs. the president made a lot of promises, and it seems that they've been broken -p. of what we're fiending is people can't keep the coverage they had if they liked it. the president promised that they could. the president promised that insurance rates would go down. we are seeing them going up. he said they'd be down $2,500 per family in the first term of his administration. the people -- the american people feel they've been deceived by this president, and now what we're seeing is an administration that is either incompetent or dishonest in terms of what we're seeing coming out with the i.r.s. bill: money more question. so we have to report our health information to the i.r.s. what does the i.r.s. do with that information?

>> well if they are not happy with the results they are going to fine you. or you can call it a tax. if you're expecting a rebate and the i.r.s. feels you haven't done an adequate job of provide being this government mandated insurance they can withhold from your tax rebate a fine or a penalty. and in the early years it may not be as much, but as the years go by that fine, that penalty, that tax continues to increase so people will see a smaller rebate, or refund if they have not in fact given the kind of insurance information that the i.r.s. and president obama demands for the american people to have. bill: it will change a lot of things. you can read your article at the washington times online. thank you for s so coming in senator. we'll see how this affects everybody as we move forward. a lot of folks are getting educated about it now. but it will be a different deal in 2014. thank you john barrasso. >> thank you, bill. bill: you bet. martha: coming up part two of the series we started yesterday,

just college, right? so anything goes pretty much, right? not so fast say some. how the hookup culture may impact your life and your future. the i'm so glad you called. thank you. we're not in london, are we? no. why? apparently my debit card is. what? i know. don't worry, we have cancelled your old card. great. thank you. in addition to us monitoring your accounts for unusual activity, you could also set up free account alerts. okay. [ female announcer ] at wells fargo we're working around the clock to help protect your money and financial information. here's your temporary card. welcome back. how was london? [ female announcer ] when people talk, great things happen.

bill: we've been watching this since we came on the air two hours ago, a plane being diverted and escorted to the ground by british fighter jets. this is a pakistani airline. somewhere over the uk it was diverted and forced to land east of london. we don't know why. all we do know is that two arrests have been made, and that plane has been quarantined off the runway there. we are not even sure if the passengers are still on board or not. we are looking for answers through our folks in london. when we get them you will hear them first here on america's newsroom. martha: all right. part two now of our series on what is known as the hookup culture and college campuses, sex with no attachments, which some psychologists say has largely replaced dating on a lot of campuses. while that might sound great to some, psychologists say that hooking up can be not quite as carefree as it sounds. we got together a group of college students here in our studios to talk to them.

they spoke bluntly and bravely about the routine of having sex first and then maybe getting to know each other some time after. what they said was very revealing. watch. >> do you like this kind of lifestyle? wish it was different if 4 >> i'm not happy about it. i just feel as though people are in it just for the sex, and nobody is really taking the time to get to know each other any more. i feel like that is pretty much dead. martha: so is the idea that that is not happening, that dating is dead as kiana said is that true or not true? >> i agree that you might perceive it as dead. i don't think that is necessarily bad. i think sometimes we put it on a hierarchy of, oh, sex has to mean something to you, when if it doesn't, and you're just -- you just want to have sex that is okay. martha: does anybody feel like they would like morr moreno romance, they would like to be courted? you're like, yes, i would, go

ahead. >> i think the romance is still there. but it's dying out right now. >> it's like, hey let's gore for a coffee date. if we hookup we hookup. martha: how do you feel the next day after this happens and you see that person on campus? are you supposed to not -- you're supposed to just be cool about it and pretend like you don't really know each other? >> if you run into someone that you did sleep with the night before you're able to talk to them as though you're still friend. there can be that romantic level to it but we are in a sense sexually liberated. >> we have this window into our lifestyles, we have all of this like new media ways for people to look at and see kind of what we're doing. >> what would you say to your daughter? if she is going to college about all of this. how would you advice her? >> i want to tell her -- i'm a christian and the bible says that women are worth more than rubies. martha: how many people feel happy with the way things are on campus today? raise your hand if you're like,

you're completely fine with it, or -- okay. and how many, you know, think they are not happy with it, feel empty afterwards, feel like there is something missing sth. >> back t missing? >> there are preconceived ideas like the notebook, a walk to remember, you watch that and you're like, oh, my god i want that. martha: raise your hands if you hope to at some point fall madly in love and get married and have a life-long marriage. >> i don't know about the marriage part. the love part, though. martha: that's fine. when you meet that person are you going to want to know, like what their college life was like, and will it matter to you? >> i think that whoever i'm with has had the right to have sex with whoever they wanted to before me. if you're getting with a lot of different people it tends to drive me away, personally, and i feel like a lot of the other people as well. >> i don't want to know if it's a high number. i'm not interested as long as

they are really dedicated in me and not a cheater or anything. that's really all that matters. martha: my next guest is a mom and a princeton alum. she wrote a controversial piece in ph-r to urge women to find their husbands while they were on campus. she cites the cornerstone of our newt and happiness will be linked to the man that you maryanne you will never again have this concentration of men who are worthy of you than the ones you meet on campus. susan patton joins me now. that has a lot of women saying, what i have to find my husband while on campus? that seems to be a long way away from that compared to these girls. >> it's not a long ways from that. it would be wise for young women on college campuses to think about fulfilling their dreams, their personal happiness in the same way they looking to fulfill their professional happiness. it's tragic that hookup sex has become the default relationship

pattern. it feels like it's a dreadful alternative that's been crafted out of the ashes of the cherished institutions of of the women's movement. martha: they are so focused on their resume and work they say i don't have time for a relationship right now, that is not a priority for me. has feminism which had so many great qualities and empowered so many woman, but these young women do not seem empowered at this point? at all. it can't possibly be good for them. hooking up and casual sex can't be good for a woman's heart, head, soul or body. and we need to remind these young women that they deserve better than this. they should holdout for better than this. and this is not even to have a conversation about cows and free milk, i'm not even saying that. martha: i love the analogy. >> are we all know that a pal louisiana gee. even taking the issue of relative morality of sass you'll sex out of the equation we need to remind young women there is

something better, that dating and courtship and marriage and motherhood, these are all wonderful things. martha: valuable as well. >> valuable and wonderful and they should absolutely think about these in a very positive manner and not at all feel like social tkaoef deviants for saying i want to get married. i i want a lot more than casual sex. martha: you have a lot of people thinking. thank you very much. bill: an important message too. very interesting. thank you, martha. jon scott standing by. hospitals rolls your way. how are you doing? happy friday. jon: happy friday to you before a long weekend, bill. a trio of scandels bee develop link the white house right now. karl rove will be along to give us his take. eric holder was he involved at the highest levels of this journalism scandal that seems to be embroiling the justice department? we'll talk with our news watch panel about that. one second you're driving along, the next second you're in a river. we'll talk with a local state

bill: there is anticipate emotional reunion taking place at the richard nixon library. hundreds of people from the vietnam war joined together. yorba linda, california. william la jeunesse is there. hello. >> reporter: bill, many people remember richard nixon for watergate and the things he did wrong. for american prisoners of war in north vietnam nixon was a hero who kept his word, ended the war and brought them home and held a large dinner in their honor. it was the largest every held at the white house, 1300pow as much

and their families h. bob hope, jimmy stewart, john wayne entertained. and they sang god bless america led by the man who wrote it irving berlin. >> the american people wanted to have something good out of vietnam and we were something good. we were something that they could look at and say, these guys went through it. >> reporter: this was the scene yesterday as the pow's arrived from all corns of the u.s. greeted by a grateful nation, a marine band and a red carpet. an emotional reunion with friends and yet a remembrance of those missing in action and did not make it home. >> it's not what i experienced, but what did i bring from the experience? part of it is, love of our country, appreciate the freedoms we have, realize the sacrifices that it takes. >> reporter: this is a mock up

of the east room, this is where the dinner will be held, a very special evening for these guys, bill and no one is more deserving than those who sacrificed so much. bill: indeed. thank you for that. william la jeunesse, yorba linda at the mix on library. martha: a lot of questions about lois learner's paid administrative leave from the i.r.s. karl rove will join us for that coming up. we'll be right back. vo: traveling you definitely end up meeting a lot more people but
