"fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ ♪ >> clayton: he looked like he had skills too. must be hard to play basketball with the mask on too. >> mike: the web being shot out. >> clayton: that's what my son walks around the house doing i'm shooting my web at you, daddy. shot a better audience this morning. welcome in to "fox & friends" this morning. nice to he see you mike. >> mike: good to see you, clayton. >> clayton: we start off with a lot of news. we are following the trifecta of scandals out of washington this week. the latest los lerner the disgraced irs head who tried to plead the fifth this week. we are now learning more about exactly -- she is on administrative leave apparently. >> mike: i would like to be
3:02 am
put on administrative leave right now if you don't mind. >> clayton: because you will still get paid? >> mike: oh my goodness. i had no idea her post paid $177,000. >> clayton: right. >> mike: per year. close to $4,000 a week. what's the average person in america make? an an about 50 grand. almost like a professional athlete and more than a senator i understand which is kind of crazy. you know, folks at home, if you haven't been following, this you know, as closely as we have been, lois lerner is disgraced irs official in the crosshairs at this scandal for allegedly targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny as they are applying for tax exempt status. >> mike: her job was exempt status who kept it or not. >> clayton: she tried to plead the fifth this week in front of congress. placed on administrative leave. third official to be placed on administrative leave. i always find these administrative leaves fascinating.
3:03 am
it's almost like in school when they are like, hey, you get to go home for three days, you don't have to go to class at all. >> mike: get your full paycheck though. >> clayton: get to go home and be in class you are not expelled. >> mike: gets to defend herself. pleading the fifth and not right way. i didn't do anything wrong and now i'm going to plead the fifth. let's say she has to defend herself, wouldn't would he be in charge of paying for her attorney fee the general public? >> clayton: we now have to pay for her attorney fees in all of this. >> mike: what's the going rated for a d.c. attorney? >> clayton: i happen to know this. >> thanks to our brain room. >> clayton: sued many, many times. if she is going to be represented by william taylor iii of the firm zucker man spader. average rate is $662 an hour. we got in the wrong bracket. that's the average rate. could go up to as high as $2,000 an hour. how long are we going to be paying her paycheck and
3:04 am
letting her sit here after refusing to step down and, you know, memorial weekend she is having a good time flipping burgers with the family. >> clayton: on average, d.c. lawyers billed about 1743 hours a year. in 2012 thats what the average amount of billing. representing her for about a year 1743 hours potential retainer up to $200,000. taxpayers on the hook for taking care of her legal fees also paying her salary while she is on administrative leave. >> mike: let's remind everybody that moment where she said i didn't do anything wrong and then pleaded the fifth. >> because i'm asserting my right not to testify, i know that some people will assume that i've done something wrong, i have not. one of the basic functions of the fifth amendment is to protect innocent individuals and that is the protection i am invoking today. >> she just testified. she just waived her fifth amendment right to privilege. you don't get to tell your side of the story and then not be subjected to
3:05 am
cross-examination. that's not the way it works. she waived her right to fifth amendment privilege by issuing an opening statement, she ought to stand here and answer our questions. >> mike: i was thinking the same thing when i was watching that i'm glad somebody brought it up before she left. trey gowdy did it anna: she may not be able to keep her mouth shut for too long. if darrell issa calls her back. our judge napolitano says if she refuses to answer questions she can be locked up for it. >> mike: you can't plead the fifth again? >> clayton: if you have an opening statement. that was the crux of it. you have this opening statement and then you attempt to then going into saying pleading the fifth. >> mike: you think that i'm guilty of something that i'm not telling the truth. >> clayton: anyone that says that first, you know, that's where stephan hayes says look, the problem is telling the truth, if you have to come out and say that you are worried about me telling the truth, you are probably not telling the truth.
3:06 am
>> anna: no one really said you are not telling the truth. >> i'm shocked that lois lerner said something that wasn't true. look, this is a pattern from her. she has done this repeatedly. she said things that are demonstrably false. the "the washington post" when they annualized her vary yus statements gave her not only a pinocchio or four pinocchios but a bushel of pinocchios because she hear a serial liar, i think. this is a huge problem for her. while she said in her testimony in congress that the fifth amendment exists so that innocent people can protect themselves, i think that's not in fact why she used it this time. >> we'll have much more on the irs scandal with a couple of guests on the show this morning as that unfolds. >> anna: 6 minutes after the top of the hour. get to the headlines. days after tornado devastated parts of oklahoma. we are now hearing desperate calls for help moments after the storm passed. >> we have a day care full of babies. we need help bad.
3:07 am
>> okay. we need help bad. we have a day care that just got cremated. >> anna: screams and crying can be heard. rubble. others describe entire neighborhoods wiped out. ef-5 tornado cut a 17-mile path killing 24 people. frightening moments after two british men threatened to blow up a packed plane mid flight. both are now under arrest. british fighter jets intercepted the pakistan international airlines yesterday diverting it to an airport outside london. the two men later said they were joking but authorities aren't laughing. the incident is being treated as a criminal offense. officials say it doesn't appear to be terror-related. well, it disappeared into a big puff of dust, and this morning we are getting a first look at that exact moment a bridge collapsed in washington state it was all caught on a surveillance camera at a nearby car dealership. two cars plunged from
3:08 am
50 feet up in the air after a portion of the bridge fell into the river there thursday night. miraculously no one was seriously hurt. an oversized freight truck hit part of the bridge causing that collapse. we are also getting the very first photos of that truck. check out the top left-hand corner and the small amount of damage that brought down the buyer section of that bridge. carrying oversized load but approved to run that route. blast off. >> r 27 main engine. we have lift al-jaafari delta 4 rocket carrying wjs 5 for the united states air force. >> anna: launched into space. fifth space craft to be sent into space. the satellite will track 22 earth's rotation above the equator. expected to take several months to settle into its proper orbit. those are your headlines.

3:14 am
be the lack of president obama's management skills. tips for the president and his cabinet and staff is peter morici. university of maryland. peter, good to see you. >> nice to be with you. >> mike: let's go right to the tips here too. i always hear you talk about employee bench marks. if you have got to make a ruling, let's say at the irs, don't you need to have a set amount of time to get it done? >> absolutely. for example, these nonprofit c 4 applications should be average time to approval say 60 days and maximum time. if they don't uncover a smoking gun of malpractice of some kind, then it's 90 days or automatic approval. and in turn these performance requirements must be frequently audited say quarterly and annually by the agency head if they are not met he should be responsible for bringing them met. which brings us to the next point. >> mike: accountability?
3:15 am
>> absolutely it is absolutely a national scandal that shulman sat there before the congress and say he did not know what was going on. i have been a senior civil servant at the highest level and my political appointees knew what was going on in my shoop and i was accountable to them for hitting the deadlines and for the quality of the work and i understood that very clearly. and i transferred that down to my senior managers and in turn their branch managers. that is absolutely lacking in this administration because, after all, this president just doesn't seem to care. >> mike: well, wouldn't any business person know this. >> absolutely. this is what we call control systems. if there is a problem with the ford focus, the windshield wiretap motors are breaking down too feecketly and being called back for servicing or something like that, they have clear systems for dealing with that you know, no matter what business you are in, you have a control -- you have control mechanisms so that you have ways of correcting
3:16 am
problems. we're not talking about penalizing managers, we're talking about giving them help. >> mike: you talk about maybe the president, a the lo of companies have too many meetings, you know. you go from one meeting or the next or meet about the meeting. but you think maybe he and the cabinet should get together more often? >> absolutely. like if you take the ford motor company which i'm familiar, when the chief operating officer as well as the chief executive, he would have regular meetings with people like mark fields, president of north america. and so on and so forth. and they would bring binders n which he they would talk about their various projects, their platforms. and they would be red, yellow, green and where there were problems he would then offer some help. ideas to help. in turn his treasury secretary should be meeting with the irs director. the important thing here is that when we had this problem at the irs and these problems were welling up and they became aware of it, shulman should have been aware. the treasury secretary should have been aware and the president should have been aware then they could
3:17 am
talk to senior members of congress privately like they do with security issues, say, you know, there is a problem here. we want to bring you into the process and we want to show you what we are doing to fix it. we are committed to getting it fixed. instead it's the blind eye the smile and grin. apparently he liked this going on. >> mike: you can always say i didn't know that was happening. but,. >> that's what he has done. >> mike: yeah, is it too late to fix it? if it's not your mind set, can you fix it. >> the irs needs a real cleaning up. like the distinction between ford and general motors. ford has made so many more strides because it simply took culture on right at the beginning we have to fix the culture. mark fields did that over at general motors it's always been it's good enough and if we get a loan or bailout and we muddle through this and we don't have to be quite as good as the japanese. there is a distinction. that's the kind of mind set that exists at the irs. when you ask general motors a question, they stonewall
3:18 am
you. you ask the irs a question they stonewall you like the post office. >> mike: by cleaning house. if you have lost confidence of your employees change things at the top. does that help? >> yes. there is a misnorm here, a mistake here. can you fire ses employees, the senior managers. they can be removed. you may have to make them civil servants again they may not like that processing forms. can you change the senior managers. if you reach down far enough, people will get the message because other people, young people coming up, who want to become senior managers they will see that the rules of the game have changed. but right now it's a punish compliance and control mentality at the irs. it's a very bad culture. frightening taxpayers and it just doesn't have to be. >> mike: thank you so much. i appreciate all that energy you have this early in the morning, too thank you. drivers on this bridge had only seconds to he is same that you are about to see. so, would you know how to get out alive? get out of your car if it

3:48 am
americans, again, to get out there and learn these stories and share them with your children and share them with your family and friends and neighbors. learn the stories of these men and women who demonstrated tremendous character and leadership. for us, it's about doing things in tangible ways to honor our fallen service members. >> anna: you have an idea of putting a name with a face by learning a specific story from one of these fallen heros. how do you suggest that people do that on this memorial day? >> i think one of the easiest ways to do it is to go to our web site, travis mannion.org a fallen hero's page. click on faces of different fallen heros and it has their biography and learn about the tremendous sacrifices they made and learn about the things they did when they were young and the way they led their lives leading up to military service. >> clayton: tell us about travis, your brother the

foundation of course was named after and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, tell us about him on this memorial day. >> well, my brother was my best friend and set the example in everything that he did. but my brother is just one of many young men and women who gave their lives. and they represent what is so great about this country. >> clayton: some stories, i imagine, emerged because of the foundation. can you give us some examples of some of the stories that you have been been able to -- maybe some family members coming together sharing stories across the country. what has the foundation been able to do? >> one of the latest things we just did recently is that we flew five families down to guatemala. all of them had lost either their son or daughter in service to this country. and we sent them to guatemala where they built a house for a homeless family. so, instead of putting them in a room and asking them to speak about their grief

4:04 am
congress about what she knew irs and tax exempt status of these conservative groups. well, we now know she has been placed on administrative leave, right? you probably heard this term. >> mike: that's better than a vacation. >> clayton: she is not getting a vacation and not fired she is on administrative leave. >> mike: how much does she make? >> clayton: here is the thing she is going to make money on administrative leave she doesn't have torque would and she is getting paid this look at the screen. >> $177,000. that's $3,400 per week while she's on leave. hanging out with the family memorial day. this is after she refused to resign, folks. the average household income in the united states is about 50 grand. so if you look at this over say a four year period, that's about what 200 grand that an average family would have. we would have given her close to $750,000, it's insane intl. >> mike: people watching her take the fifth going i'm making about well, most of us, a lot of people watching the show right now
4:05 am
making a lot less than that $50,000 per year. that's average. so, if she has to defend herself, she is going to have to hire some attorneys. i was thinking wait a second, that won't be coming out of her pocket, that will be coming out of our pockets, right? clay clarify of course. this william taylor the iii. the firm zuckerman, spaeder, $662 an hour could be higher. >> could be up to $2,000 an hour, right. >> clayton: top retainer is 100,000, to $200,000 for retainer fee for the year. build an average of 1743 hours for the year. taxpayers on the hook to pay her legal fees to defend herself against allegations that she knew and was targeting and looking at the tax exempt status, holding up the application process, tax exempt status applications for conservative groups, fast tracking groups that
4:06 am
were progressive, had progressive in their title or were friends of the president's re-election campaign. >> anna: let's hear from peter morici about firing these types of employees. we heard from him earlier in the show. >> fire the ses employees senior managers you may have to make them civil servants again and they may not like that processing forms. change the senior managers. if you reach down far enough, people will get the message. >> clayton: more on the irs scandal. another scandal unfolding this week. >> anna: a scandal everywhere, a scandal, scandal. >> clayton: attorney general eric holder this morning his fingerprints appear to be all over the details of the fbi warrant that led, of course, to the doj looking into fox news. and fox news reporter james rosen specifically. in 2010, we know that he discussed with his staffenned approved the warrant that the fbi then went after james rosen for information, of course,
4:07 am
related to that story on the leaks. >> mike: i thought eric holder said that he didn't -- he wasn't involved. >> anna: he recused himself from the ap story. we just reported it yesterday that he had signed off on it it now he can't say i signed off on it and maybe i didn't read it or something like that. he actually discussed it as well. make mike that's not what he said in front of the cameras the other day. >> clayton: then on may 15th he. he came out and said with regard to the potential prosecution of the press, i have no memory of this. and i was not involved in it. so, we now know he did sign off in 2010 on this. and in 2013 he denies that he had any involvement. charles krauthammer says this is consistent with this administration. listen. >> holder defense i signed it but i didn't read it isn't available anymore. he discussed it. so either is a case of perjury or it's a case of
4:08 am
unpreparedness mistakes, not remembering or incompetence. this is always the case with holder. the most benign explanation is incompetence and it's again and again and then you get -- see the reason why i think his days have to be numbered is the president is involved. he expresses full confidence in him and puts him in charge of the investigation. this is entirely untenable. it's all about him now and the president is going to own this if he continues along this line expresses his confidence and allows holder to investigate holder. i don't think that's sustainable. >> clayton: i saw a tweet from ann coulter boy attorney general eric holder is going to be mad when attorney general eric holder appoints a special prosecutor to investigate himself. probably not going to happen. >> mike: what's making everybody a little queazy. man if you don't agree with the government they might look at the taxes if you are a reporter and don't agree with everything the government is doing mike
4:09 am
look into emails and listen into your parent's phone calls it makes you uneasy clay invasion of the press. >> anna: what about the all the other sources we have gone through. wasn't just james rosen emails that was hacked into, phone lines from fox news channel and all of that how is this going to be effecting us even the associated press and everybody else for that matter in trying to get information. we are just doing our jobs. were. >> clayton: whether you have a leak at the center of this. the administration leaks information. if a reporter gets information, reports on a leak, why would this particular story investigated so vigorously? i mean, does this mean that we then can't report on leaks anymore, that the freedom of the press in this country is now under watch by the governments a result of this? ron kessler, the author of the secrets of the fbi talks more about this particular issue. take a listen. >> so far as i can see, the actions he has taken have
4:10 am
been justified when it comes to a leak such as the a.p. leak where sources were compromised. but, on the other hand, with the james rosen leak, it was not a serious compromise. it didn't compromise future assets or information, and so you do have to wonder whether there was some effort, perhaps at a lower level to target fox because clearly stands out as being in contrast to other leak investigations which were about much more serious compromises. >> mike: it just looks like an excuse to investigate a news organization, specifically this one, fox. >> clayton: right. and in an age when this type of material is so readily available, electronic communication. we don't know. we have heard of the fbi setting up fake cell towers next to people they have been investigating so that anyone within that particular area who was making a phone call first hit this fbi cell tower
4:11 am
then gets redirected to the actual cell tower. that means that, yes, the person they are looking for may be caught up in this, but innocent americans also their voice mail conversations, their discussions over the phone and through the airwaves being listened to by the fbi? >> mike: what did they learn actually that north korea sometimes when they are pressed by other nations might do a weapons test? that's what they always do. any time they are pressed by any country test a weapon. >> anna: bottom line from all of this is that the link is starting to get pretty tight between the white house and all of these sandals. everybody is pushing the blame to somebody else and pointing fingers and you know i recute myself from this and, you know, at some point we are going to get to the bottom of this. it's not looking good for the president. >> clayton: a lot of questions. how high up does this go? we know the attorney general had particular questions about this fbi warrant. wasn't a mid level employee. eric holder. some of our guests is he
4:12 am
done? is eric holder, he has been embattled from day one in this administration. is he done? we will talk more about that. >> mike: how do you make scandals go away sometimes you make people go away sometimes. >> anna: heads will roll. >> mike: turmoil in the middle east rising. president obama wants to lift the war on terror. is this the right time? >> anna: price hit a record highway are you paying so much and what should do you to save a buck? >> clayton: chicken. you hurt my feelings, todd. i did? when visa signature asked everybody what upgraded experiences really mattered... you suggested luxury car service instd of "strength training with patrick willis." come on todd! flap them chicken wings.

4:17 am
consider doing this? >> no, certainly not. and i think even obama knows that. but that speech to the national defense university was a political speech. his comments on the war on terrorism overall were naive and juvenile. but he was playing to his base. so the idea -- look, and we have already tied this administration has tied one hand behind other backs when we are fighting terror by insisting it's a criminal offense of aggravated i have a walk withing and trying them in criminal courts where obviously this is a war of a new kind. now the proposal to revoke or repeal the use of military force in a broad range of circumstances would tie the other hand behind our national back. and so it's just absolutely ridiculous and obama lewd credit claim that al qaeda is on the ropes and that we won. mission is nutty, al qaeda
4:18 am
is more powerful and widespread today than when he took office and, frankly cece a much more volatile situation in the middle east. why we don't want to get involved in every war or every conflict. we need to be able to respond a jillly because agilely. >> >> clayton: move toward isolationism. should we just stay out of middle east and after all make the point that countries like iraq and syria have their bound dries drawn by britain. other countries invented out of europe. should america be involved in the middle east at all at this point? >> well, we have no choice but to be involved the point is to recognize our limitations, clayton, we cannot determine the future of the middle east. we can only play at the margins we can play intelligently at the
4:19 am
margins to security our own national interest and protect our own citizens and allies. oyou are huber russ imagine that we can change the face of this broken civilization, this broken collapsing failed civilization is nonsense as you just pointed out. among other things seeing the collapse of an artificial order designed by europeans 90 years ago, the borders don't work, the social values don't work, despite all the oil money the economies don't work. the universities don't work. the schools. i mean, this is a society in a downward death spiral and we don't want to ride the same train. >> anna: it appears too that some of our diplomats think that we can just all live in one in harmony and just use words to speak and make nice. does that make us seem weak though? >> diplomats deal in words, our negotiating style hasn't been very successful
4:20 am
in iran or elsewhere in the middle east. and to give you a concrete example of where we could get in trouble next, i am not an isolationist. there are times we have to get involved. we have to do it judiciously and intelligently. look at syria today. we are suddenly getting these cries belatedly too late in the game to intervene on the side of the insurgents. the insurgents two years ago we could have made a positive difference. now if we intervene against the assad regime we are frankly going to end up supporting al qaeda olt related terrorists across the board. we did that in afghanistan in the 1980, didn't turn out real well. we need to be more intelligent. >> anna: thank you so much for your time today. we have to leave it there. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up on the show country's bravest the fight doesn't end when they leave the front lines, when they get home they face an entirely different battle. what do they need from you, the wife of a soldier up next with that. >> then they got millions in stimulus cash to fix

4:26 am
different being a military guy being in a military family." who did you write the book for. >> i wrote the book for the person i used to be. i grew up in a very nonmilitary family. some of my first memories of my parents pushing me in stroller in antiwar rallies of the vietnam era. i didn't know anybody in the military and i had stereotypes? >> mike: what was your perception. >> i thought the service member was a robot following orders and the mom was a stepford right. dutifully raising the kids. when i married into the military and got to know this wonderful community of military spuses i saw that the picture i had in my head was totally wrong. >> mike: that's interesting you wrote a book that maybe you should read? >> i wrote the book that i needed to read. exactly. yes. >> anna: you say that over his 22-year career he has been deployed a bunch of time. >> right. >> anna: sounds like you lost count and noticing it even more once you had kids. >> exactly. >> anna: what are some of the challenges that you have dealt with. >> i think after you have had kids and kids are
4:27 am
dealing with a parent who is deployed, you are really very focused in on your child's needs. i was really worried about how the kids were processing my husband's absence. i tried to focus on making them comfortable. and walking the line between showing them that he is a hero and making them feel safe and secure because he is he going to come home. >> anna: making them feel patriotic and yourself as well. how has it transformed your spirit for america. >> like a giants civics lesson for me. as i said before i wrote the book, i didn't know anything about the military or how our government wrkd or why people even signed up to be in the military. so for me i have learned a lot about america, about how the military and the government function and why people serve. >> clayton: you know, when you are are not in a irlt in family, i don't know my nieces say other people just don't understand what we're going through. kind of a lonely feeling for them. how can we help military families?
4:28 am
>> well, i think that one of the things that i didn't know that i learned through all of this is that every military family is unique. but they are as diverse as the rest of america. everyone has different needs. i think the bottom line that what everyone has said to me that i have appreciated is thank you. >> mike: thank you? >> anna: we want to thank you by bringing the kids. in your kids are here. >> mike: ethan get on in here. get over by your momma. it's tough, do they understand deployment when daddy goes off to be a navy aviator? >> they don't understand deployment. i think that's my job as a mom and that's my job as a military spouse to help them figure it out and to show them why it's important for him to be away even though it hurts so much. >> anna: alisyn, thank you so much. you guys look great there on camera. they can see themselves at the bottom. the book is "standing by, the making of a military family in the time of war." happy memorial day weekend

[ 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?
4:47 am
>> clayton: welcome back. we all know the story of watergate. it's been 40 years since president nixon left the office in disgrace in the watergate scandal. he also had a president impact. historian author of the book "presidential leadership 15 that changed the nation." good morning to see you this morning. >> good morning, clayton. >> interesting when we think of clayton's legacy. there are a lot of things that he has left us with this day in 2013. walk us through some of those things. >> sure. yeah. i mean, of course we remember nixon as the first and only president to resign in office.
4:48 am
but, i think taking that narrow approach overlooked some of the good accomplishments, first and foremost in my mind is normalizing relations with china. it's been 40 years now we forget. we had no relationship with china prior to nixon going over there. it was important because nixon understood before anybody else that it was china and not russia that was going to be our economic and political rival for the next 100 years. he was very pressure yant in that he understood having a relationship with china long term would help us deposition russia and create economic ties. he knew some day there would be an economic power long before anybody else realized. i think were it not for nixon it might be years and years before we had a relationship with china. >> clayton: he also interestingly created the environmental protection agency, of course. and there are many -- i think may be democrats think hey that was something that we dsm that was something that the democrats did, maybe add some more regulation, try to clean up the water ways in this country and airways in this country from all
4:49 am
the pollution. it was actually a republican president in richard nixon that did that. >> one could argue amazingly that had the most progressive environmental record of any president really in the last 50 years. it's almost hard to believe if you look at it he created the e.p.a. he also passed a clean water and clean air act in the marine protection act. now, that's not to say he was a committed environmentalist. he understood, again, it was important for domestic policy to be progressive in knows -- that's areas. that's something he often gets overlooked for. no one considers him a great environmentalist. he had a forward looking view on the environment. >> vietnam war. thursday, vietnam veterans and p.o.w.s reunited for a three day celebration at the richard nixon presidential library. of course, he famously ending the war in vietnam. >> yeah. i mean, vietnam is a mixed legacy, obviously he inherited that from linden

4:55 am
penalty phase is a dumb idea. the only idea that should happen here is the prosecutor should take the death penalty off the table and let the judge decide. >> just throw us the whole state's criminal justice system under the bus. it's a dumb idea. >> dying on this unique idea. arizona dozen differently than issue else. should be brought into the district attorney's office and they should be asked what do you want to do? do you want to relive this whole thing with jody or go in and say we will take death penalty offer the table, put her in jail, life without parole, it's judge joe-arpaio. >> the sheriff. >> let her have a miserable existence for the rest of her life. >> mike: hold up? >> the jury got to see her and hear her for 18 solid

>> clayton: welcome in to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. talk about it. i don't know. it's hard to digest but cell phones causing your three day weekend, ruin your three day weekend? >> mike: what do you mean? >> clayton: because we are plugged in all the time. >> mike: don't have time off because your phone is with you. >> clayton: checking in. can we relax a little bit? >> mike: establish try to get this done, clayton instead of just talking about it let's start a drive everybody turns their phones off for three days. >> clayton: can they do that? >> mike: that will never happen and i'm the worse. >> anna: we all are. we probably get 1,000 emails every day. >> clayton: before you shut off your phone send us a tweet at pf weekend. tell us what you are going to do this memorial day weekend. >> anna: hopefully everybody barbecues and flag cake.
5:02 am
cell phone for lint but maybe this weekend. >> clayton: i someone who wants to unplug phone this weekend is eric holder. put on the hot seat, we now know details this morning about eric holder, attorney general eric holder who recently about a week ago he didn't know anything about didn't know anything about the james rosen, excellent reporter he we now know his prints are all over it, going back to 2010, did he in fact have discussions with and approve the fbi warrant that then ended up looking into it. >> mike: that goes against what we heard him say in front of congress is that, no, i didn't know much -- let's let you listen to him. >> with regard to the potential prosecution of the press for disclosure material that is not something i have ever been involved and heard of or would think would be a wise policy. in fact, my view is quite the opposite.
5:03 am
>> anna: unbelievable. sounds like he -- seems like he is being honest. check this out. all these numbers over here he must have forgotten how many ever times. it's not just one number, can't even count how many that is and, of course, all the emails of james rosen, even his personal email account. even emails business had parents. >> mike: phone numbers to fox business network, fox news washington bureau. rosenens own cell phone. rosen's parents' home phone. the white house state department. that wasn't discussed? yes indeed it was discussed. >> and signing off on this fbi warrant. so this discussion that did take place within his office, the question this morning is how long can the attorney general eric holder, he has been embattled from day one in this administration. how long can he continue, charles krauthammer says this is consistent with the administration's philosophy. so whether or not the administration is going to pull the trigger and say you are done, seems unlikely, but listen to krauthammer. >> holder defense, i signed it but i didn't read it
5:04 am
isn't available anymore. he discussed it. so, either this is a case of perjury. or it's a case of unpreparedness, mistakes, not remembering or incompetence. this is always the case with holder. the most benign explanation, again and again. and then see, the reason why his days have to be numberside because the president is now involved. he expresses full confidence in him and puts him in charge of the investigation. this is entirely untenable. it's all about him now. and the president is going to own this. if he continues along this line expresses his confidence and allows holder to investigate holder. i don't think that's sustainable. >> mike: did did you hear what he said there the attorney general would have to investigate himself. >> a.b. coulter tweeting this morning. she said gentleman wait to see eric holder's face when he has appoint eric holder to investigate himself. the idea that he would be
5:05 am
investigating himself in this. that's the point here. >> anna: ultimately what do you think the president is going to do? he is trying to keep this thing as far as away from him as he can. this thing has come out attorney general eric holder and he has stood behind him so strongly recently. you wonder if his days indeed are numbered. >> clayton: why is his leak so important anyway for the doj to be investigating? if you look at whether or not there was a small scale discussion of what north korea might do with the weapons test. they always do a weapons test. when south korea shows some strength, they fire off a weapon. when they -- when iran wants to do something or we have some resolve against iran they fire off a weapon to. >> mike: that's about all they really found out in their investigation. it just seems like they are targeting a news organization that being fox news. >> clayton: ron kessler the author of the secrets of the fbi has more thoughts on james rosen in this story. listen. >> so far as i can see, the
5:06 am
actions he has taken have been justified when it comes to a leak such as the a.p. leak where sources were compromised. but, on the other hand, with the james rosen leak, it was not a serious compromise, it didn't compromise future assets or information. so you do have to wonder whether there was some effort, perhaps at a lower level to target fox because clearly stands out as being in contrast to other leak investigations which were about much more serious compromises. >> seems like the a.p. so much more justified. >> it seems like they are punishing fox news channel for putting out the news and pushing a narrative at times, you know, showing both sides of the story which the left-wing media is not doing, that isn't necessarily making the president look like he is all roses all the time. so, you know, this comes
5:07 am
down to an issue of the freedom of the press and, you know, this could go down in the history books lay clay telling the truth. when you have an administration and government not telling the truth, it's incumbent upon the press. you think about the watergate scandal. if you cannot report leaks, that's what the tore is so, what, we are not ever going to report leaks ever again. can't report information that comes from leaks? what are you saying there? going to have the the government take over the press then in these particular parts of stories cannot be told and the american cannot learn this information. >> we have been punished in the past by not being invited to certain press conferences as well. >> mike: wouldn't the truth be refreshing? who do you believe anymore at all? come on. >> clayton: well, anyway. >> anna: working on getting to the bottom of it. >> clayton: more on this coming up. i want to be clear on ann coulter's tweet which i mangled. she said i would hate to be eric holder when he feels out he is about to feel the
5:08 am
full force of the investigation of the u.s. attorney general. the u.s. attorney general, of course being eric holder. >> anna: now on to your headlines seven minutes after the hour this saturday morning. days after a massive tornado devastated parts of oklahoma we are now hearing those desperate calls for help made moments after the storm passed. day care full of babies. screams and crying can heard in the background. some called for help to be freed from the rubble. while others described entire neighborhoods being wiped out. ef a tornado cut a 17-mile path killing two dozen people. and we're learning new details this morning about the boston bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev's twip trip to a volatile region of russia last year. investigators say tsarnaev went to dagestan to join the militant group but for some reason never did. there is still no evidence that the tsarnaevs were
5:09 am
affiliated with any terror organization when they set off the bombs at the boston marathon. they also have not found a manifesto explaining their reasons for that attack. disappeared into a big puff of dust and this morning we are getting a look at the exact moment a bridge collapsed in washington state. it was all caught under surveillance camera at a nearby car dealership. two cars plunging 50 feet after a portion of the bridge fell into the a river there thursday night. miraculously, no one was seriously hurt. an oversized freight truck hit part of the bridge causing that collapse we're told. also getting the very first photos of that truck. check out the top left-hand corner and the small amount of damage that brought down the entire section of the bridge. tiny. the truck was carrying an oversized load but was approved to drive on that route. well, a group of veterans in illinois getting a surprise visit from a music super star. >> country music super star tim mcgraw.

5:18 am
have not provided false information to in this or any other congressional committee. >> mike: if that's true why did lois lerner invoke her fifth amendment rights then and refuse to testify when she was in front of congress. perhaps because the scandal showing the irs targeted tea party groups traces straight back to her. letters sent to those groups have her signature right there at the bottom. sekulow is representing more than 20 tea party groups who are suing the irs and he is, of course, with the american center for law and justice. jordan, good to see you. what does that signature say to you? >> we have these letters. we represent 27 clients. this one 15 different clients, 15 different letters from lois lerner, coming out of that cincinnati office, but you see she blamed that first when she did that planted question and yet she is putting cover letters with their invasive questionnaires saying by the way you have got 60 days or else we are throwing out your application and these were the same kind of questions that she said she found out about in june of 2011,
5:19 am
mike. and then' put a stop to it.buto out until march of 2012. we still got clients getting letters from the irs as late as may 6th, with more questionnaires asking for membership lists, donor information, facebook page info, social media, the list goes on. >> mike: right, but a lot of the tea party groups that wanted this exempt status did get it. >> well, we have got out of the 27 clients we have, 15 got status eventually. unfortunately, some of those were as late as a couple months ago, mike. they missed two election cycles. so they founded an organization again i think this is very important to point out. they are actually putting themselves forward voluntarily smightd themselves to government oversight. these aren't rogue people. they are saying here irs here i am. here is my information. track me, i will file my forms every year. i will give you the
5:20 am
information you are supposed to have. they weren't running away from the government or hiding and effectively even by not answering their application delay, delay, delay for years. it made them ineffective. it cut down we still have 10 who have not been approved and -- you know, people out there saying maybe these groups deserve more scrutiny give them an answer "yes" or "no." >> mike: stopped a year ago. >> right. this is what those letters go to. lois lerner got up at the aba and you have got people like jay carney taking her word for it we guess and saying we stopped. this the ig's report said that the irs officials told him they stopped it except for he found that they didn't. it wasn't handled yet. not only that but lois lerner was endorsing it. >> mike: jordan, thank you. we will keep on it as you know. >> thank you. >> mike: college grads, not just leaving school with a degree but also a mound of debt. so how are they supposed to pay that back? should they move back in

5:45 am
>> anna: 15 minutes before the hour on your saturday. great to be with you i'm anna kooiman. president obama making a pitch to end the war on tear specifically al qaeda. >> the amf is nearly 12 years old. the afghan war is coming to an end. al qaeda is a shell of its formerself. they did not direct the attacks in benghazi or boston. they have not carried out a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11. >> anna: considering all those terror attacks considering this week's attack in london should we really be winding down this fight? frank gaffney is the president of the center for security policy. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> anna: how do you feel like the president's speech was ill-advised and coming in inappropriate time? >> you know, memorial day is an opportunity for us to
5:46 am
reflect on one central reality through the history. one side can't end a war except through winning it or surrendering it. what the president laid out was a ruling out of winning and embrace though he may not have said so much surrendering. the trouble here is that we're not clear about who it is we're signaling a willingness to surrender too. we have been calling them terrorists for years. i don't think that's appropriate. we have been calling them violent extremists under this administration. euphemisms that seal. hillary clinton on her way out the door said what we are facing now is global jihad and indeed that's what i think in each of those various scenes that you just showed we are dealing with here and certainly elsewhere is the folks who believe that it
5:47 am
is their god's will they will impose doctrine of sharia on all of us. muslims who don't want to be under that and us as well and they're willing to use violent means to do it. >> anna: you are not the only one who feels this way. we have a new fox news poll out and asks the get are islamic terrorists more or less of a threat today than after 9/11? check this out. 56% of the american people or registered voters there say, you know, more. 28% say less. and 12% say the same. now, in this speech that the president gave, he did not mention the word london one time that had just happened. david cammeron coming out and calling it terror. justed in the shear languaging, how important is it that we grab this thing by the horns and call it what it is? , 5,000 years ago chinese strategist says you can't
5:48 am
defeat an enemy. we don't know. we have been testing that proposition. it's been every bit as true today as it was then. here is the rub. the folks who we are now signaling a willingness to accommodate are only emboldened by it it in fact their doctrine this sharia notion as you can find in this document secure freedom.org it's a thin little of what the muslim brotherhood not al qaeda but other islamists under their banner are saying and it is that they will destroy us from within if possible by our own hands. we he have got to be clear that's what we are up against. >> when our enemy is not scared to die themselves for the causer that believing, in i mean, it's certainly a scary thing. i want to get your thoughts on, this frank. do you kind of think this is a bit of the obama administration saying hey, look at the shiny thing over here, check this out because the last couple weeks have been very difficult for the white house with all these scandals. >> look, i don't think they are beyond manipulating us
5:49 am
and what is more worrying is not so much that they want us to sort of be tee flected from. so problems of our time is they are not even articulating correctly the central problem of our time threat today's totalitarian ideology that seeks our destruction ronald reagan warns every generation faces this kind of threat. if we signal to this particular set of characters these jihadists these sharia willing to submit from them. they must move from the phrase of violent one we will get more of this if we persist in this willful violence that i think this administration has engaged in all too much of it. >> anna: difficult thing to deal with like the boston marathon in london one of the safest countries on the planet. thanks so much for your time today. happy memorial day weekend
5:50 am
to you. >> thank you, anna. >> anna: coming up on "fox & friends," we showed you brand new video of the bridge collapsing it was all caused by this truck. turns out the government knew the bridge was bad so why didn't they fix it? plus, want to keep the cost of flying down? learn to plus, want to keep the cost of flying down? learn to pack like a pro. we're going to show you how, coming up next.

almost $4 billion in bag fees? >> i can believe that. you can avoid the extra cost and the extra stress by packing like a pro. editor-at-large with shape magazine is here. welcome back. >> thank you for having me. >> the baggage fees, it's $25 here, $25 back. we can save 50 bucks if we pack like a pro like you. >> exactly. make sure you have a great suitcase this. one is from sampson night. it's room i and lightweight. the key is something that will fit all your stuff. >> what do you put in first? >> the first thing is you want to take accessories, necklaces or earrings. so you wear the expensive stuff like your watch and your necklaces and buy these little baggies, you can get them at michaels. you put your necklaces right in here. you'll notice that you want to keep the clasp out so it doesn't tangle. you put these in your actual purse.
5:55 am
>> mike, all of your necklaces, keep in little baggies. >> the items, i will circle my bed for hours trying to figure out how to pack. you start by putting the bulky things on the bottom. i would think on the top. >> bulky goes on the bottom, this means your blow drier, your shoes. for your shoes, make sure that you put them in a little bag like this. the best way to save space is toe to heel when you put it into the bag. >> i keep mine in uglybags. because mine end up covered in mud from a natural disaster. >> you can take your socks and undergarments and stuff them in nooks and crevice. >> mike said shove the socks in your shoes. >> is that right? >> i always do that as wul. >> ba harr, i am a roller. i roll the clothes and lay them in. >> you are a pro. that is one of our tips is to take anything that's not going
5:56 am
to get wrinkled and roll it up. >> will this get wrinkled? >> you don't want to roll that up. >> you roll it up, stuff it in there. anything that's made from cotton can be rolled up. >> i'm going to see what you're doing here. >> perfect. >> lay it in. >> stuff that can get wrinkled, you can get a really great folding board like this one from eagle creek. >> it's so small. >> it comes with this paper device and you fold it as so. if you have more time, you'll fold it nicely. but the idea is, it's not going to wrinkle, it gets nice and compressed. you put that in there like so. you obviously take more time when you do it. >> remember the 311 rules. >> remember, if you're going to check your bag, you can bring a quart-sized bag and everything needs to be three ounces or less. there's a great way to get these
5:57 am
disposable bottles and stuff. you can put your -- >> you don't have to worry about. >> if you like pantene pro v and you don't like what's in the hotel, there you go. >> put this on the outside for carry-on. >> thank you. have fun. the look of success for new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain. here we go. honey cornflakes and chunks of greek yogurt. ing both the yogurt and the honey at the same time. i'm like digging this yogurt thing. i feel healthy. new honey bunches of oats greek.
6:00 am
you're looking good on your memorial weekend. it is saturday, the 25th of may. i'm anna coy man in for alisyn camerota. she's still cashing in. how much lois lerner is banking. you'll be stuck paying for her lawyer too. >> we have brand new surveillance video catching the exact moment. out near seattle sends cars and people into the water. a nick by this truck really took that down? seriously? turns out the government knew this bridge was so bad, why didn't they fix it?
6:01 am
>> what would you do if this guy showed up to your basketball game? that's spider man by the way on the court. he just popped in. they didn't know he was coming. wait until you hear who is actually inside that costume. >> spud web. >> that one really got you. >> "fox and friends" hour four starts right now. >> it's actually the web part. hi everybody. >> welcome to "fox and friends" on this saturday morning. we hope you're enjoying a nice long weekend away from work. that's mike jerrick from philadelphia and anna. >> i've been holding it in for three hours. that is one of the best dresses ever. >> thank you very much. >> ever. >> my kentucky derby dress. >> you can only go three hours before letting that out? >> it's blue, red, white and
6:02 am
blue. >> i'm here for america this morning. let's get you to the headlines and what's going on in washington because we're learning more about this scandal. obviously, the white house dealing with scandals this week. theer probably looking forward to a long three-day weekend. lois lerner is probably looking forward to a long weekend. the rest of the week because she's now on paid administrative leave. of course, you remember she's the disgraced irs official who tried to plead the fifth during that hearing this week. >> clayton, do you have the power to put me on administrative leave? i want this. >> you still get paid. i had no idea. we looked this up, how much her salary is. it's pretty good. >> it's a lot. in 2013, her salary, $177,000. what does that mean she's taking home every week while she's on vacation? $3400. >> so when you look at the average household income right now, our viewers this morning out there working very, very hard. this is the average u.s. income, $50,000. you're working very hard.
6:03 am
she's getting paid by the taxpayers to be at home on administrative leave. i think the third -- the third irs agent now to be put on administrative leave as a result of all of this. >> no one has been fired. >> we haven't figured out who put them up to this plot of targeting conservatives for more scrutiny for getting tax exemptions. >> exactly. >> she has to defend herself undoubtedly. so that means attorneys. it got us to thinking. if she has attorney's fees, wouldn't we be paying that as taxpayers? >> of course. that's how it works. if you wonder where the money comes from, it's coming from the taxpayers. william taylor, iii. the firm of zuckerman spader. the average billing rates is $662 per hour in washington, d.c. it can go as high as $2,000 an hour. should have been a lawyer. >> yeah. so anyway, it's all adding up to
6:04 am
these huge numbers. on the other hand, these conservative groups who have been targeted and are struggling through this, they're hiring their own attorneys and pay their own attorney's fees and she's getting away scot-free this way. a lot of people are saying that she actually kind of waived her fifth amendment right by remaining silent by saying i'm innocent, i'm innocent, i'm innocent and that kind of -- she then should be subject to cross-examination essentially. >> what's odd, too, i was watching that live, and she's -- you know she's going to plead the fifth. she's told everybody she was going to plead the fifth. we knew that 24 hours before. >> and then she started talking. >> the first thing she said is i'm not guilty of any wrongdoing. i've never heard that before when somebody is about to plead the fifth. remember that day? >> because i'm asserting my right not to testify, i know that some people will assume that i've done something wrong. i have not. one of the basic functions of the fifth amendment is to
6:05 am
protect innocent individuals and that is the protection i'm invoking today. >> she just testified, she just waived her fifth amendment right to privilege. you don't get to tell your side of the story and not be subjected to cross-examination. that's not the way it works. she waived her right to fifth amendment privilege by issuing an opening statement. she ought to stand here and answer our questions. >> then it's on the record as representative trey gowdy is saying. you have actual testimony under oath on the record. then she goes and invokes the fifth. steve hayes on special report this week. basically he says it's her problem with telling the truth. take a listen. >> i have to say, i'm shocked that lois lerner said something that wasn't true. look, this is a pattern from her. she's done this repeatedly. she's said things that are false, the "washington post" when they analyzed her various statements gave her not only a pinocchios but a bushel of pinocchios because she's been a
6:06 am
serial liar i think. this is a huge probable almost foreher. while she said that the fifth amendment exists so innocent people can protect themselves, i think that's not in fact why she used it this time. >> more on that coming up. plus, another scandal. can we jump from scandal to scandal this week? attorney general eric holder on the hot seat this weekend and probably looking forward to a long weekend as well, as it relates to the investigation by the department of justice into fox newschannel among other press organizations. we now know that his fingerprints are really all over the order given to basically investigate james rosen. excellent fox news reporter here in washington. one of our top reporters here. he actually signed off on, gave the information to the fbi, allowed the warrant to go forward to look at his cell phone records, his parents' cell phone. here's a laundry list of the things they were able to look at. the washington bureau, the phone in washington, his cell phone,
6:07 am
rosen's parents' home phone, the white house and the state department phone records. all seized by the department of justice as a result of this. >> if you'll remember, on the 15th of may, eric holder saying this is nothing i would ever do. take a listen. >> with regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that had i've ever been involved in, heard of or would think would be a wise policy. in fact, my view is quite the opposite. >> so this is, of course, relating to james rosen's reporting on a leak. so does that mean that the press can't report on leaks anymore? >> but he took an oath there, didn't he? >> eric holder? >> yeah. >> in front of congress. he's there. did he lie? how much longer can the attorney -- he's been embattled since day one, this attorney general. how much further can he continue in his role as attorney general? >> it's not something that you forget about. >> right. charles is talking about this saying you know what, his days may be numbered.
6:08 am
>> i signed it, but i didn't read it isn't available anymore. he discussed it. so either it's a case of perjury or unpreparedness, mistakes, not remembering or incompetence. this is always the case withholder, the most benign explanation is incompetence. it's again and again. the reason why i think his days have to be numbered is because the president is now involved. he expresses full confidence in him and puts him in charge of the investigation. this is entirely untenable. it's all about him now and the president is going to own this if he continues along this line. expresses his confidence and allows holder to investigate holder. i don't think that's sustainable. >> can he appoint -- >> investigate himself? >> yeah, investigate himself. that's essentially what you have to do. to krauthammer's point. >> we continue to watch the story here at fox newschannel.
6:09 am
other news headlines. eight minutes after the hour. newly released 911 tapes with oklahoma a after a massive tornado ripped apart the town. >> people down. we're stuck in the rubble. my leg is -- >> yes, ma'am, we've got a call. we're getting them out there as soon as we can. >> please -- a tornado just hit us. we're trapped in the closet. there's stuff on top of us. >> trapped in a closet? >> yes. >> are you injured? >> no. we can't breathe. >> screams can be heard in the background. others describe entire neighborhoods wiped out. the ef-5 tornado cut a 17-mile path killing 24 people. frightening moments in after two british men threatened to blow up a packed plane mid-flight. both are now under arrest. british fighter jets intercepted the pakistan international airline flight yesterday. divert tg to an airport outside

that split second and it was like something out of a movie, you know. >> sure was. you know, when the main link connecting seattle and vancouver, british columbia collapsed on thursday, the biggest question is what went wrong here? >> turns out, the bridge was too old. built in 1955. was recently rated as functionally obsolete by the government. >> on thursday, all it took was the corner of this truck hitting bridge and it collapsed. barely any damage to the truck at all. they knew the -- the government knew it was bad. why didn't they fix it. >> we're joined by a scholar at american enterprise institute. rick. snooi rick. >> should that truck have been on the road in the first place? why did the whole bridge collapse? >> well, i don't think the truck should have been on bridge in the first place. i'm afraid this may have been a managerial error in terms of the
6:17 am
way the bridge was operated. there should have been some sort of a steel overhead gantry that prevented trucks of this height from getting on the bridge along with warning signs prior to the approaches to the bridge. the bridge had a maximum clearance of 14.6 feet. >> the main problem is the bridge is old. built in 1955. the government says it's obsolete. >> well, according to the american society of civil engineers, which just a few months ago put out a report on america's infrastructure actually one in nine american bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. the average age of bridges in the united states is 42 years. >> who is to blame here? during the bailout, didn't we have money for fixing the infrastructure in the country and roads and bridges? president obama talks about it all the time. is it the role of government to fix this or have they simply bungled it and mismanaged it for
6:18 am
years? >> well, no, i think the state and local department of transportation officials work very hard with the resources that they have to try to keep our bridges as best that they can. i'm assuming you're referring to the stimulus, $787 billion. i recall about 3% of that only ended up going to infrastructure projects. a lot of that was for a little bit of deferred maintenance, which is considered relatively minor, like replacing a guardrail, things like that. but really, as president obama noted, there really aren't any shovel-ready infrastructure projects that are all ready to go but lack funding. >> i bet you could fix these bridges faster if you got the private sector involved. a little bit of private sector, a little bit of public. >> absolutely. absolutely. yes, the public/private partnership is what i think is really an important part of the solution for this type of thing. now we have the technology to toll people directly as they go
6:19 am
over the bridge. that creates a revenue stream that you can use to renovate the bridge and to get a private global infrastructure management company to actually make the improvements and to manage the bridge. >> rick, nice job. thanks for being with us. >> thank, rick. i'm functionally obsolete. >> did they fix that bridge in philly? >> they did. i finally believe it's fixed. it was bad. >> thing crumbling, chunks of concrete falling off. coming up, interest rates are low and houses are selling. our next guest says don't be fooled. we could be on track to repeating the 2004 crisis. plus, what would you do if this guy showed up at your basketball court? it is a superhero surprise on the court. and wait until you hear who is inside that suit. why are twice as many people choosing verizon

i was thinking -- 23 minutes after the hour now and we're seeing low interest rates. home sales in the double digits. that's not necessarily good news. isn't this what we saw in 2004 for example? good morning, thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> you're telling me places in california and in las vegas, sometimes you're seeing increases of 20% a month? >> 20% a month, florida, arizona, southern california, in a month. incomes aren't going up that much. >> sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? >> the new housing recovery is built on shaky ground, unfortunately. we have unprecedented long-term, short priced interest rates. we have very low inventory and buyers that want to get in on the action before interest rates go up. >> at the same time, we're hearing that homeowners are actually doing a little bit better. but one in five are still underwater? >> one in five are still underwater. a lot of them want to hold on to
6:25 am
their home until it breaks even again. that's contributing more to the problem. because it's lower inventory and creating bidding wars in a lot of areas in the country that are really causing trouble for people who want to get into the market. >> how much of this are investors trying to find something and flip it for more and how much are people wanting to be in the home? >> flippers are coming back into the market. i have leagues holding homes between 10 and 30 days and coming back in vast numbers and buying hundreds of homes at a time. about one in five homes is investor purchase. in some areas, that's actually about 50%. we saw that in vegas and florida in 2005. >> well we're also seeing that builders are starting to hire more as well. a pace of 30,000 a month over the last five months. that sounds great. but are we going to see something burst. then these people lose their jobs again? >> that's potentially an issue. builders have raised the price on new homes. they're citing the cost went up.
