>> thank you for having me on. have a great weekend. >> you too. >> truly an inspiration and of course we do remember the courage and sacrifice of our veterans on this memorial day weekend. that's going to do it for me. make it a great day, everybody. thanks for watching. >> we now learn how high up this scandal actually goes. hello, everyone. i'm kelly wright. >> i'm jamie colby. there is a brand new doj report and the attorney general himself fox news has learned, eric holder, personally signed off on the search warrant that allowed the government to essentially spy on fox news reporter james rosen. >> reporter: right now we know the just department says it's true. attorney general eric holder's

signature is on the documents behind the agency's investigation into our own james rosen, something we didn't know before. >> with regard to potential prosecution for the press for disclosure of the material, that's not something that i've ever been involved in and heard of or would think would be a wise policy. in fact, my view is quite the opposite. >> reporter: rosen's whereabouts in federal buildings and his parents' phone and fox news lines all monitored. the white house ordering a review of the department's guidelines on the issue by the attorney general himself. >> a free press is also essential for our democracy. that's who we are. i'm troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable. >> the attorney general is going to investigate the attorney general and then sign off on the end of it that he's satisfied

with the results of the review of his own behavior? that doesn't make such sense to anybody. >> while acknowledging holder's involvement, the doj defends its decision. officials say it was all part of an ongoing investigation the department followed all applicable laws, regulations and policies. jamie, back to you. >> all right. the story still developing today. thank you. kelly? >> it is developing today as the justice department says it plans to "review" the controversial way it handles investigations involving journalists. some critics are now asking whether this is all just for show. sally is a fox news contributor and tony is president of talk radio news service, a fox news contributor as well and former press aid to republican vice president nominee joe kent. as we look at this, the attorney general is saying that he did in fact or we're getting this from the justice department sign off on the search warrant to obtain

personal e-mails of a fox news reporter. so now the attorney general is going to investigate himself to review the department guidelines. what do you say about that? >> look, this is troubling first of all. the fact of the matter is that in a climate where there have been a lot of blown out of proportion manufactured scandals to try to pin something on the white house, we should all stop and notice when there's an actual real problem here and want to get to the bottom of it. now, you know, i don't think that this rises to the level of we need an independent prosecutor or something outside of the justice department because we just need facts. the american people need to know the facts and know that in the balance between security and press freedom, a line wasn't crossed. and it would seem very obvious to anyone that the people who were involved in making that decision should not be involved in deciding whether it was a correct and fair decision or not. at the very least. >> all right. you're talking about a line being crossed. let's quickly review the issue.

we're talking about three 2010 search warrants focusing on former state department arms expert that was indicted in 2010 for allegedly disclosing national defense information to fox news reporter james rosen. the justice department calling him a possible co-conspirator. tony, what do you say about this? >> that's the essential difference between what the department of justice did in the case of james rosen and fox news and the ap which was very struggling where they seized phone records and really delved into and crossed the line by making an affidavit in which they list james rosen as a co-conspirator under the espionage statute.

it's a partial game changer. the pentagon, the more we learn. we now know this went up to eric holder. i would have agreed with sally a week ago. the justice department on its own could investigate this. you didn't need a special prosecutor or independent investigation but nbc broke the story. >> i hear you there. weigh in. >> look, this co-conspirator allegation is in fact the big game changer here and what makes this so disconcerting in suggesting that a member of the press by doing their part in reporting -- look, a leak is a leak. if there is a leak within the administration, that is in fact a criminal act if certain conditions are met. to say that a reporter if they are reporting on gang activity or they are reporting on, you know, any kind of illegal activity that they themselves

are implicit or implicated in that illegal activity is so corrosive of press freedom it's really troubling and disconcerting. no question we need to get to the bottom of this. >> i hear you loud and clear. in response to all of this, president obama said he was troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accou accountable. the president adding to this to what he had to say about journalists. >> journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs. our focus must be on those that break the law. >> my question to you is what should the president be doing right now with attorney general eric holder. you talk about nine lives. are they over and should the president take further action other than just a 45-day review? >> the 45-day review is almost insulting to every single reporter in america who actually understands the severity of this story. that to me is an effort to deflect this into the doldrums

of the summer into july where people they hope may not be as ade attentive to this issue. they need a swift, independent investigation because the attorney general himself is now implicated in this activity and in this behavior. he cannot impartially investigate himself. that's a big part of this. if the president really wants to be true to his words where he doesn't want a chilly effect, he has to show the administration will take swift action and not do what we do in investigation where the bureaucrats in trouble are the ones investigating themselves. >> i think that's right. we want to be careful like we don't make assumptions based on what rosen has done and we don't make assumptions about what the department of justice has done here. we need to know the facts. we shouldn't jump to conclusions about anyone involved until we know what happened. >> let us not forget the freedom of speech and the freedom to fair press and keeping checks and balances on government.

thank you very much both of you. >> enjoy your memorial day weekend. >> same to you all. overseas new developments in the brutal hacking death of a british soldier. counterterrorism police in london have arrested an acquaintance of one of the two men suspected in that savage murder on wednesday. the victim in the slaying 25-year-old lee rigby is a veteran of the afghan war. witnesses say the men used a car to run him over and then attacked him. the pair telling bystanders they were acting in revenge for british wars in muslim countries. there's new information on that bridge collapse in washington state that sent two cars and drivers plunging into a river. officials are looking for a temporary bridge to replace a crippled span on a key corridor between washington and canada and initial investigations shows the bridge collapsed injured three people when a

tractor-trailer hit one of the bridges overhead tresses. >> they are facing a long road in moore, oklahoma. the town is just beginning to recover from this week's deadly tornado. but donations and volunteers are all pouring in from all over our country. another form of help could be coming soon for property owners that suffered huge losses. the oklahoma legislature passing a bill to provide tax breaks to those victims and meanwhile there are incredible survival stories continuing to emerge. listen to this. this is a survivor who describes being trapped under a mound of debris. >> the car was stuck over us and landed in the backyard upside down and we were sucked out of the closet and pushed back where that white door is and buried

under that. that was a big pile like this. it's a miracle we were alive. >> s >> reporter: this is 1324 ridgeway drive, which is just a few blocks away from plaza towers. it's owned by the woman that lived here with eight children. she heard about the tornado heading away and jumped in the car and ran off knowing that two of the youngest kids were gone. here and could see devastation to her house. it appears to be mostly still standing but they have not determined whether the damage that has been inflicted on the building means it will have to be demolished. we came with her as she walked back inside and was breath taken by the amount of damage inside. i asked how does he had take her

life and family forward from this situation. >> if i could scrape my home is where mom is off because that's me and my children. that's all of my children. if i could scrape it off and take it with me, it doesn't matter where i go. >> reporter: her younger son is in the fifth grade and he was inside the school as it was torn apart. he described to me how he saw trees and dirt and metal spiraling above him into the air and he knew in that moment that not just his school was being damaged but his home as well. this is what he told us. >> all my pictures and everything was in there and my clothes and my blankets and everything. everything was lost and it's all torn up and this was all in the house we lived in i thought i would live in here until i grown up. >> reporter: jaden lost school mates. several had died. he knew the sister of one of

them very, very well. he recorded a special message to his friends with fox news camera here and hopefully we'll post it on the website soon in which he said i hope you guys live forever. he gave the camera crew a big hug and thanked us for being here. he was concerned about what happened in the community here. you could see how other homes really haven't fared as well as they did. just tragic story after tragic story. one family here trying to piece their life back together not knowing at all what happens next on a day-to-day basis. back to you. >> that tells the story. if you can't go to moore, do what you can. our whole country should pitch in. thank you. it is a cold and dreary memorial day weekend for the northeast and there's a risk of severe storms in the high plains for the mississippi valley. meteorologist janice dean is very capable of giving you the holiday forecast and joins us

now in the fox weather center with more. >> hi. we're watching a coastal low bringing wet weather and very chilly weather to the northeast throughout today and into sunday as well as even holiday monday. in some cases we're going to see higher elevation snow. 6 to 12 inches perhaps across the white and green mountains. memorial day weekend, if you can believe it. the other story we're watching is potential for strong to severe storms across the central u.s. we're not looking for a severe weather outbreak but we could see the potential for hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes. not only today but through sunday as well as into holiday monday. a quick look at your memorial day forecast on monday. we'll continue to watch the potential for showers and thunderstorms over the high plains and across the missouri and mississippi river valley. otherwise, both coasts look pretty good. warming up here in the northeast. very nice conditions across the southeast and the gulf coast region. warm for the southwest. phoenix, 96. we're still going to see

unsettled weather unfortunately for the northwest throughout the weekend. have yourself a great memorial day weekend. >> we thank janice for putting up that american flag on this great weekend. back to the top story about the irs. there's a new report that shows the irs unit that is under fire for handling of conservative groups has a long history of targeting other groups with extra scrutiny. what can be done to prevent it from happening again? we're going to ask florida congressman who joins us live. >> plus former president bush inviting wounded warriors to his texas range for a tough but meaningful challenge. >> i don't miss much about being president. i miss saluting those who have worn the uniform. so...how'd it go? well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning

welcome back. former president george w. bush getting back on his bike today for the thisrd day of his ride with wounded warriors. it's taking place on his private ranch in central texas with 14 wounded veterans. the third year mr. bush is hosting the event and fox news medical aid is live in crawford there. the event has wrapped. tell us how it went and what it

accomplished. >> it's every now. the last part of the ride was perhaps the hardest because it's muddy on the rarchl. you can see the mud on my shirt. they rode up the hardest part of the end and it's called the rim which is all rocks and president bush said you can make this or go the low road. he took the high road himself and those who could followed. 15 warriors. he also has a memorial day message former president bush does for america. let's hear it. >> there's a lot of americans who respect you and appreciate your service and care for you a lot. i'm one. we've got great trails out here. they're pretty tough. to know that in this case men who had their legs blown off or had serious injuries are able to ride those trails is really i

inspiring. >> reporter: i want to bring in an active military member who was injured in 2007. honor to have you on and to ride with you today. tell us about how you were wounded. >> i was wounded in iraq july 27th, 2007. we were conducting operations and were in a firefight with insurgents and i lost my right leg. >> you don't consider yourself disabled. president bush talked about courage rather than pity. how do you view yourself as not being disabled? >> since my injury, i make sure i am not defined by my injury but defined by what i still can do. for all of the warriors that were represented here at this event, that's something that i think something like this characterizes that although we're injured and there's a small event that happened in our lives, it's certainly not who we

are or who we want to be defined as. >> honor to meet you. back to you in new york. >> thank you, doctor. kelly? helen keller once said although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it. dr. rollins is a surgeon who understands that and seeks to help patients overcome their patients but on his path to becoming a noted spine surgeon, he had overcome some challenges himself in pursuit of living his life "beyond the dream." >> my youngest patients as i said earlier is 12 months up to 86. >> reporter: dr. bernard rollins is a spine surgeon. he moved to america from ghana in pursuit of the american dream devoted to a life of education and study, he earned a degree at columbia university and then after attending med school at

cornell, he became a successful orthopedic surgeon. >> it provided almost immediate gratification in being able to have someone have a problem that you could correct and/or fix and they can go back to living their lives in the fullest way that they can. >> reporter: evidence of that are in pictures of some of the toughest cases. this 14-year-old girl was born with sko with a deformity of the spine. rollins designed this implant to correct the condition giving her a normal life. >> what we do is insert these screws and rods in cases in which patients have a spinal deformity for example or unstable spine so lock the spine in place that will then allow the spinal bone to heal and become solid.

>> reporter: the path in medicine is unique. he and his siblings are the product of a tender love story shared between his father, a white englishman who fell in love and married an african from ghana. the relationship was often challenged. >> my father was white and my mother was black. >> reporter: true love prevails in the light of racism. he attended boarding school in the u.k. and excelled in academics and boxing and was destined for the olympics but in the face of his father's death, he returned to ghana to finish school. he was then encouraged to apply for college in america, a land of opportunity. >> this country allows people who are willing to work hard, achieve anything they would like

to achieve, by hard work. >> reporter: and the fruits of his labor are producing a wonderful life. he enjoys sharing his life with his wife, debbie. they have daughter in premed at harvard and a son attending colgate. debbie says her husband is committed to helping and mentoring young medical students and his patients to fulfill their dreams. >> i think he's contributed an idea of a person of an unselfish doctor always giving, always looking to help others, children especially. >> reporter: he keeps reaching through higher goals through experiences that give him a greater understanding of just how precious life is and what a gift he's been given to live beyond the dream. >> i have to thank dr. bernie who loves to live his life beyond the dream but also shows

us that the american dream is still capable and alive and well. >> beautiful story. thank you so much. i want to ask you to stick around because we're going to tell you about a possible medical breakthrough. coming up, how a popular vitamin used to boost your metabolism could help in the fight against alzheimer's. president obama reaffirming his commitment to shut down the u.s. military prison at guantanamo bay but is now the time for administration to start scaling back the country's efforts on the war on terror. >> there's more controversy over the irs' targeting of conservative groups after the leader is placed on administrative leave after refusing to step down. >> after careful consideration i decided to follow my counsel's device and not testify or answer any of the questions today. ♪

bottom of the hour right now. seven people were injured in a fiery train collision in missouri. one locomotive hitting another taking out a nearby overpass and there's no word on what led to the confusion on the track. plans under way to temporarily replace the bridge that collapsed this week in washington state. a truck accident may have contributed to that collapse, which injured three people but investigators are still determining an official cause. the justice department now acknowledging that attorney general eric holder's roll in obtaining personal e-mails of fox news reporter james rosen but the document used to seize them was legal. we are tracking new development in another controversy currently dogging the white house over the irs targeting of conservative political groups as we learned

the woman at the center of the agency scandal is placed on paid leave after refusing to step down. molly is live in washington with more details. >> reporter: republican and democratic sources confirm to fox the new head of the irs asked lois lerner to resign and they said no and she's on administrative leave with pay. republicans are crying foul. >> this is the way the federal government works. people don't get fired from their jobs for doing wrong things. they have to go through a process. a judicial process which is wrong. in the private sector when somebody does something wrong, they are separated from their job. maybe give her a severance to get her out the door but she ought to be out the door looking for another job. >> lerner pled the fifth this week after telling lawmakers she hadn't done anything wrong and hadn't broken any laws or irs

rules. republicans say since she did make a statement, they should be able to question her. democrats say she has the right to take the fifth. >> she was acting on advice of counsel. i would have loved to have heard what she had to say. i think her insight, the information she has, might have been helpful to us in just learning all the facts, whatever they may be. again, in our country, we have something called the constitution. we have to adhere to that constitution. >> also bubbling up in this scandal, the american center for law and justice says lerner allowed the targeting to continue longer than she's claimed publicly. the aclj released a letter sent to a tea party client signed by lerner or march 16th, 2012 but lerner said she put a stop to

targeting letters in summer of 2011. >> lois lerner got up and you have people like jay carney taking her word for it saying we stopped this. the ig report said the irs officials told him they stopped it except for he found they didn't. it wasn't handled yet. not only that but lois lerner was endorsing. >> reporter: they are planning to file a lawsuit against the irs on behalf of their tea party clients next week. >> thank you. though lois lerner denies wrongdoing, gets up and leaves the hearing and the question is what does she know and how critical is her testimony to getting answers. let's ask john mica. congressman, welcome. >> good to be with you. >> i want to take a step back before i ask you those questions and there was a bipartisan report that was issued on may 14th that found that these

conservative groups were being targeted. why was that report initially done and did you expect to get the findings you did? >> well, there was several reports done. first of all, our committee government reform and oversight has been trying to get information for several years now on the targeting. as you know the inspector general produced an audit that was the report. it wasn't an investigation but an audit of the matter which was released. of course lerner and company and that we learn the white house was involved in great choreography of their rollout trying to temper the media and also the public when this is going to be released a little bit later. just as she did before our committee the other day, she had that all planned and plotted. that was another one her performance choreography she helped concoct. >> she says on the basis of what

her attorneys advised her, the thing is she gave an opening statement where she denied she knew anything or did anything. if you were the chairman of that committee, would you have let her leave the room. >> well, first of all, chairman issa is handling this in a proper manner. he did excuse her at that point. she did try to thwart the process by giving the statement which the media covered that very broadly. her claim of innocence and then taking the fifth. what we did though in consultation with counsel is we did not adjourn that hearing. that hearing is still open. chairman issa recessed it. she can be called back. we want to make certain that this investigation is handled absolutely fairly and properly. she is entitled to her rights. we're entitled because we're responsible for the taxpayers

and the voters to get it right and go after people who abuse the system, targeted groups and cause people to lose their great faith in their government. >> those taxpayers are the ones that are paying her salary even though she's on administrative leave. back to that in a second. you didn't adjourn that meeting. if you did get her back on the stand, what do you think she knows or not the stand but to address the congress? what do you think she knows and how critical do you think those details are to actually figuring out what the heck happened and why and who instructed the irs to do this? >> well, here's what's going on behind the scenes. we have our investigators interviewing some of the people who were sent into cincinnati who also reported back to her and to others and some of them have been forthcoming. they're not taking the fifth. we will sort through who knew what and we want to get back to

who started the targeting and then you also pointed out a few minutes ago the fact that she claimed that the targeting had stopped and she went in and we know that she went in. there was a brief hesitation and then we find some of their oppressive actions even increased after that. so there was a concerted effort to deceive congress and also go in and further target worse than they started out with targeting just tea party groups. >> quickly, i want to just ask if you have offered any of those that cooperated immunity? >> not yet. again, we're so early in this investigation. as you can see they're trying to do everything they can to thwart the investigation to deny us information and also put a lot of lipstick on a political pig that we're trying to wrestle. >> congressman, before i let you go, the taxpayers continue to

pay 170k plus benefits. she's not working. she's not talking. and my question is what is your message to them? if congress has lost faith in the irs, in her services, and in what happens, what is your message to the american people? how should they feel? >> again, congress has to -- you may recall the guy in the hot tub that blew us off and he was a high level. she's a career bureaucrat. they have great protection. i think we've got to go in and protect the taxpayer offering legislation. we may modify it and go back again and try to make certain. people who are employees such as she is even civil servant when they take the fifth, they are cut out. their pay stops. >> may not happen in the federal government. there is case law to suggest if you give that opening statement

or you deny culpability, you can't then claim the fifth. please come back. >> thank you. good to be with you. have a great memorial day weekend. >> thank you. we all remember our troops and their families. we always do. thank you. kelly? president obama renewing his vow now to close the u.s. prison at guantanamo bay. it's been years since he first promised to shut it down. a look at what we can expect this time around and what it could mean for our safety right here at home if it does close. >> the administration never came up with a cohesive plan to close guantanamo bay. that's why it is still open today.

welcome back. president obama facing sharp criticism for his new stance on counterterrorism. the president renewing his push to close a controversial u.s. military prison at guantanamo bay, cuba.

six years after he first vowed to shut it down. one big concern ensuring detainees transferred overseas don't return to the u.s. to launch terrorists attacks here in the future. joining us now, director of the margaret thatcher center for freedom at the heritage foundation. thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> my pleasure. >> what do you say about this on the surface? >> i think it's another sort of publicity stunt by president obama with regard to guantanamo. let's not forget the vast majority of americans are against closing down the guantanamo facility. a new fox news poll this week released showed the 63% of americans want to keep guantanamo open and only 28% of americans want to close it. congress is firmly opposed to the closure of guantanamo and guantanamo has led to the very successful collection of vitally important intelligence information over the course of the last few years closing down

guantanamo does nothing whatsoever to advance u.s. national security. and president obama really sending the wrong signal on guantanamo here. >> the president also said in his speech that he would consider sending some of the detainee such as those from yemen back to yemen and a lot of people have found that to be quite alarming since yemen is the base of al qaeda on the arabian peninsula. what are concerns about doing something like that? >> a suggestion by the white house to send 89 detainees back to yemen. yemen is the heart these days of al qaeda in the ararian peninsula. it is at the heart of a vast al qaeda network across the world stage sending back these individuals to yemen would only allow some of them to return to fighting for al qaeda itself. let's not forget that the director of national

intelligence recently announced that 29.9% of guantanamo detainees released over the last few years have gone back to join al qaeda. they undermine national security and it does nothing to involve national security. >> he wants to say he would repeal that 2001 law that we're all aware of. it's known as authorization for use of military force. senator john mccain took harsh exception to that saying the president is assuming that al qaeda is on the run. he wanted to say that mindset he finds to be incredible. do you find that incredible? >> it is staggering frankly. president obama comes across as a combination of chamberlain and jimmy carter. he might as well ha waveded edd

white flag in the air. it's not going to protect the united states. it's a global war. >> i want to weigh in to that point. the president says he wants to fight terrorism without keeping the country on this perpetual wartime footing he describes it as being. when you look at boston and you look at the recent attack in london, isn't the terrorist threat itself perpetual and shouldn't we be striving to be prepared? >> the terrorist threat is very much out there and this week fox news poll actually showed a clear majority of americans think the terror threat is greater than in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. americans don't feel safer. the al qaeda network is still very powerful across the world. we are engaged in a long-term war against islamist terrorism.

and president obama consistsentconsistsent ly refuses to identify the nature of the terrorist that we're fighting and we'll have to fight this conflict for many, many decades to come. the idea that this conflict is actually winding down is completely misleading. the white house is sending the wrong signal to our enemies. >> you are the director of the margaret thatcher center for freedom at the heritage foundation. enjoy your memorial day weekend. >> thank you. when we come back, we'll switch gears a little bit but it's so important. there's a certain vitamin that could help in the fight against alzheimer's disease. very exciting new research we'll tell you about next. alzheimer'

amino acid in your blood. when lower they found it seriously protected people and decreased the cognitive impairment in people who had tsarnaev disea alzheimer's disease. >> it's always important to discuss this with your doctor depending on your other health issues. but multiple vitamins have the b. there are separate b supplementation but it's good to have a separate supplement mentation. >> should you be tested to see what b vitamins you're deficient in. >> it's probably a good idea to have a nutritionist to evaluate your diet. many of us in a fast paced lifestyle don't eat properly. it's better to get it in the natural form, healthy choices. >> kelly and i will tell you we have no problem eating it if we can do it instead of taking it. >> a lot of people just shocked at b 12 is that an appropriate measure. >> usually they get shots of b 12 because it's important for preventing anemia. before you start going in to see

somebody and getting injections it is good to get a full evaluation, they can check levels of certain vitamins and let you know what you need to be supplemented in. after all we want to protect our noggin and i brought a friendly friend of mine here that i use at work all the time. >> that is healthy. >> it is a healthy brain a little squishy. prevent it from shrinking and they found this level of homosisteen can shrink certain areas of the brain that contribute to alzheimer's disease. it's preliminary research but exciting because if we can solve some of these issues with proper diet mother nature is really on the right track. >> this sounds like an easy one to follow. next time can you bring one of the brains in a jar so we can see it really looks like. >> i can't tell you whose it is. >> we know about hippa and all those. >> good advice from the doctor. >> thanks so much for having me. stop smoking, lower your blood pressure, keep your sugar under control. >> and exercise. >> and exercise obviously. >> thank you, doctor. great to have you here today. that's going to do it for us.
