"fox & friends" begibb begins rt now. ♪ good morning, everybody. thanks so much for joining us bright and early. great to have tucker carlson back with us. >> why, thank you, ali. had a birthday. my daughter turned 14. happy birthday. i stayed home for that. you can't miss a 14-year-old girl's birthday party. >> you hear about it years later in therapy. >> if she wants you there, you can't miss it. i didn't have interest in my parents being present for that one. >> she faked it, anyway. the deadly tornado that struck near oklahoma city now claiming the lives of nine people. one victim, a 4-year-old boy, was swept away by flood waters

as his family took shelter in a drainage ditch. a total of 5 tornadoes touched down including a powerful ef-3. mike tobin joins us live in union city with more on the devastation which we can see behind you, mike. what does it look like? >> reporter: it looks very side when you see all of the homes that were destroyed and realize those were people's lives and all of their belongings. sadly, you mentioned that the death toll numbers went up. that's because that was predictable because once the sunlight came under, the certainly crews got out and started to look for the victims. indeed, they found more. you mentioned they weren't killed only by the force of the tornadoes but you had at a 4-year-old boy who was swept up in the rising flood waters. here in union city people are able to get out and look at their damaged homes. we have harrowing tales of survival and sad tales of people looking through the belongings of what once were their homes. >> i lost a son 20 some years

ago, so i found all of his stuff. my mother's stuff, my father's s stuff, you know, those things that nobody can replace. > >> reporter: a significant factor in this series of storms is the number of people who elected not to shelter in place but tried to outrun the storms. they got in their cars and ended up in gridlock on that section along i-40. they were stuck in traffic with the tornadoes bearing down. authorities say seven of the people who were kill were killed in their cars including a mother and child who were pulled out of their car by the force of the storm. an issue still to be contended with today is the flood water. you have a number of rivers up over their banks. there's a lot of standing water over the roads. that's because the ground here was so saturated already because of the previous storms and this particular storm system had thunderstorm on top of

thunderstorm and dumped just a tremendous amount of water. the national weather service has confirmed it was five tornadoes that touched down in this area, and you mentioned the strength was ef-3. now, the strongest of -- not the strongest of tornadoes, but still a tornado with a tremendous amount of power. >> mike tobin on the ground in oklahoma this morning. thanks, mike. now, over to that same severe weather pattern that was moving through that part of the country heading to the east coast. rick warned us about it yesterday from washington, dc to maine. what will we see here on the east coast? >> we'll see the same storm and certainly not nearly as strong of a storm as what we saw go through the oklahoma city area. this is a look at the radar curinduring the storm. as mike was saying, five tornadoes. within this cell, there were about five different tornadoes that were spawned within it. that's what became such a difficult thing. we knew once daylight came up, they would be able to survey the different areas. at the time with the heavy rain and multiple tornadoes falling

from that one cell, that's what was such chaos during that evening hours. storm now has pulled off towards the east and moved down toward the south. there's pretty heavy rain across areas of texas moving through louisiana, mississippi, alabama. that storm will move to the south and the east. these are not anything severe right now. it's another warm day. it's hot and humid all across much of the eastern seaboard and that today again will interact with the cold front moving in. that's where we'll see the severe weather. the biggest threat is damaging winds. as the front moves through, we could see an isolated tornado or two pop up. not any big destructive tornadoes. i don't think that's the case at all, but we'll see the chance of that. everybody this afternoon needs to certainly be alert to what's going on across the eastern seaboard. one other little area down to the south again, a little bit of a chance of some severe weather. we could see a tornado across parts of eastern new mexico and around the el paso area and just to the west of the big bend of texas. so that's the big story for

today, guys. >> rick, i have a question. >> yeah, go ahead. >> i have an outdoor barbecue planned for this afternoon. what time is this happening? >> where is this outdoor barbecue? >> my back yard. >> move it up a little bit earlier. can you do that? >> i'm going to go and e-mail now. >> glad i could help. at this point, ali's inviting everybody over to the barbecue. >> everyone who is watching as well. give her your address. >> thanks, rick. >> you bet. we kick off with some headlines. this has developed over night. we've learned that iraq has thwarted a disturbing plot to carry out poisonous gas attacks within our country or i'm sorry, their country and the united states. the plan was to use toy planes to release the gases. we're told that five men admitted manufacturing mustard and sarin gas, and that they received help from an al-qaeda-linked group. the men also planned to target

cities in europe and iraq. we'll bring more when he we have that. a second suspect now facing murder charges in the brutal murder of a british soldier. the soldier was shot by police after the apparent islamic extreme attack. he was released and charged and is set to face a judge tomorrow. another suspect already appeared in court last week. lee rigby was off duty when he was run over and hacked to death on the streets of london in may. it is round two in the family feud over ricin-laced letters sent to president obama and new york city michael bloomberg. we told you yesterday daniel richardson, the man police questioned in texas, said his wife is setting him up because they're going through a divorce. the new york post reports the woman said they were not going through a divorce, but she sure wants one now. guess his son claims his mom was

how extensive the lavish spending and ridiculous waste at the irs was, upwards of $49 million on 220 conferences over the course of a number of years. i didn't realize it was that bad. i thought it was a conference here, a conference there, and a few thousand dollars spent on things like this? gilligan's island team building video. watch this. >> it's critical for their continued success in the field assistance tax. they've got to board for cpe. wonder what the we will wear. do you think formal attire will be appropriate? >> that will be lovely. >> mrs. howell, hold on, we need to know all about this? >> mary ann, we're going to share our experiences with all field assistance employees during cpe. >> i remember cpe. it was so much fun. >> oh, my gosh.

>> tucker, what's happening here? >> watching that, it's difficult to remember that this is an agency with guns. this is a law enforcement agency that can destroy your life and destroys the lives of many people. this is the irs. >> by the way, it's not just the irs. this happens throughout government, these team-building exercises, these conferences that take place. fort lauderdale, los angeles, all of thumb stuffed with these conference -- them stuffed with these conferences every month. >> this their defense, they say they're aware of the waste, stream lined this, cut back, travel slashed up to 80%. >> of course. that's what the new acting commissioner has to say now that all of this has come to light and more of this is coming to light, as clayton says, as they show all the grotesque waste. >> they brought sand in for that. did you see that? they brought in sand and sea shells. >> this is absurd. they also had to spend $1600 which, by the way, is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions they've been spending on these conferences but to

to write a check for three or four thousands and mail it off. that's an enormous amount of savings and work they have to worry about sending off to the irs. in one afternoon, they're spending a quarter of that on some cheese tray down at some hotel. >> if you can't send your kids to summer camp this summer because you can't afford it, remember the irs and their team building exercises. you paid for that. >> makes me so mad. >> mill jobons and > >> millions and millions. here's the "star trek" video. look at the production value of creating a "star trek" set. they have a nicer set than we do. they do. >> now you you're just jealous. again, t $49 million spent on these conferences over the past -- over the space of three years. they say that now the culture there will change but only because this has now come to light and become public. >> let us know he what you think about that.

it up likes he has in the past to distract from a bigger issue like the irs scandal. >> doug shulman that was running the irs during the time the president's enemies were feeling their hot breath on his necks, he visited the white house 157 times in the first term compared to 43 times for the secretary of state, hillary clinton. the president has not been pressed on this question so far by reporters. why? >> you know, i'm not really sure. i think there's been some discrepancy in terms of how many times douglas shulman visited the white house. what's so confusing about all of this, when he was asked about it at the hearing on the irs, he didn't give a straight answer. he said it was because of the easter egg roll and listed other things. it doesn't really make sense when he was asked why he didn't say i didn't visit that many times or it was because of these things. what we know is neither douglas shulman or the president or the administration has been forth coming on the issue with the irs. regardless of how many times shulman visited the white house, i mean, they haven't been

forthcoming and haven't given the public answers that they want to know. we haven't seen a lot with reporters going at them and questioning this. i don't know if maybe when congress was back in session this week if we can expect to see a little more of that. certainly i think we need to. i think it's something that the public wants to hear. >> the white house excuse so far is we don't keep accurate records of who comes and goes from the white house, so we don't really know. unbelievable. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. no one can forget bill clinton's rally to get president obama reelected, but did it involve a secret deal to put hillary clinton on deck for 2016? details on that coming up. who would have thought the more questions you ask of your doctor, the more that doctor might charge? he's here to explain the question that you ought to be asking of your physicians. i see you have allstate claim free rewards, for every year you don't have a claim, you'll get money off your home insurance policy. put it towards...

patients are often urged to question their doctors' decisions, but according to a new study, being involved with your own health care may actually end up costing you more. so what questions should you be asking your doctor without the risk of a higher bill? we're going to explain. great to see you, dr. cheatham as always. this study makes no sense. this is out of the university of chicago. how can the more we're involved with our own health care, the more pro active we are, it costs us more and we spend more time in the hospital. >> well, actually, alisyn, to me it's not a huge surprise, this study. i mean, in this study they were looking at internal medicine patients. they looked at 22,000 patients. it was a survey in chicago, so this may not necessarily be representative to all medical specialties in all states. interestingly, when patients do ask about the their care and the proactive, we may end up doing more tests. the patients may want those tests before discharge.

although there's an increased cost, the cost in this particular study was about $900 extra. >> alisyn: right. that is what probably is happening is that we think we need more tests, but you have some questions here that we should be asking our doctors that can save us money and time. the first one is do i really need this test? >> well, i think this is a good question to ask anyway irrespective of the cost issue because some tests, particularly radiation tests, cat scans, x-rays, there's a risk we have to weigh the risk-benefit. do you really need to have that x-ray? do you really need to have that cat scan? is there a better test like ultrasound, for example. >> alisyn: that's great. sometimes doctors do go overboard with the tests as we know. the next question, how many surgeries do you perform each year? we should be asking our doctors this. >> i think so. i'm a insuringon and patients -- i'm a surgeon and patients ask that question all the time. it makes sense yo they want to w how many procedures you've done. the more you've done, the better the outcome. >> alisyn: practice makes

perfect. the last question you say is if i get sick, who will see me if i'm kept overnight in the hospital? why should you ask this? >> i think you want to know. a lot of patients have procedures that are done as a day case procedure. they go home the same day. you want to know if there's a problem, who's going to take care of you? who do i call? who is on call? do i call the doctor looking after me, do you call them directly? sometimes the doctors give their contact numbers. do you just go to the emergency room or do you call a number for that particular specialty. you want to know that there's good continuity of care in the doctors that are going to look after you if you have a problem. >> alisyn: sometimes things do happen. dr. cheetham, thank you. don't mess with this vet. how he used his cane to send a would-be burglar running for his life. clayton has gadgets for your favorite graduate that could guarantee their cell phone battery never dies again. you don't want to miss this.

say, and the big story here is that only 20 20% buy the line tt it was done by low level employees. two out of three say the decision to target conservative groups came from washington. that includes 26% who say it came from irs headquarters, and 39% who believe it was someone at the white house. this is the one that is connecting with voters and right now it is the most politically active story out there. >> alisyn: you asked about another scandal that affects a lot of us here at fox news. you asked about the department of justice's secret espn to on the phone records and e-mails of fox news reporter james rosen, and this one, the respondents seem to be all over the map. what did you find? >> well, 29% do approve of the justice department. 55% disapprove. what's really significant here is we asked a similar question about the targeting of ap reporters, and there was no difference. it's not a question of liberals saying oh, yeah, you should go after fox news. conservatives say no, you should leave them alone. most people disapprove of both.

however, a plurality of democrats approve the targeting of james rosen and of the associated press reporters, republicans and unaffiliated voters strongly disagree with that. >> clayton: wow, that's shocking. eric holder, the attorney general, should he resign? >> 42% say he should resign. one out of three are not sure. eric holder has long been unpopular. right now only 25% of voters have a favorable opinion of him, but for all the people who are thinking well, this 42% number is all because of that press, the war on journalism, it's not true. the numbers are about the same as they were a year ago. >> alisyn: your last question was about benghazi and whether or not people believed the white house's explanation of what happened there. what did you find? >> well, the majority of people believe it's a major scandal, and only one out of three believe the white house has done a good job of explaining things. it's not connecting much with voters yet.

in the military, you could even cut parts of the joint strike fighter program, but the last program we should be doing, as i seal i know how crucial it is to make sure that men and women who come back get proper care. if you ran a company like this -- go ahead. >> tucker: if you were the president standing back basically making the case he can do nothing about this, wouldn't you stand up and say no, i'm sorry? take the money somewhere else. i'm issuing an executive order. this guy clearly has no problems using his political power to do what he wants. why not in this case say unacceptable? you are not cutting staff from walter reed of all places. >> i think he actually has the option to do that, and i think, you know, you go down there and visit wal walter reed and realie how critical the institution it. they're not in one piece. they need care that will be required at walter reed. you're starting to furlough people. i read that they're going to start to furlough one day a week in the next 11 weeks. that's going to have a

maybe an isolated smaller tornado today as well. waking up right now, 74 degrees in new york city, and 54 in caribou, maine. warm and sticky across the east coast. that will aid in some of the severe weather we see. this is what is the front right now. it's brought heavy rain overnight across parts of arkansas spanning into louisiana, southern mississippi now, and parts of alabama. this will continue to slowly drift off toward the south and the east. you'll notice this right here is the front moving off towards the east, and we'll see some of those storms maybe get severe status later on this afternoon. right here you see from maine all the way down throughout parts of the central appalachians, maybe towards the far north georgia mountains maybe later on this afternoon. mostly again it's a strong wind event. out across areas of the high plains, southern high plains, also going to be watching the threat for some severe weather. it's ahead of the next storm in. tomorrow and tuesday we start to see another system that begins to develop across parts of the plains. i don't think at this point it's

as strong as this last one, but there's a chance for more tornadoes. could see a couple large tornadoes across parts of oklahoma and in towards kansas again. something to keep preparing for. today's highs across the country shaping up like this. it's warm out across the east. it's warm and sticky. out across the west, 109 in phoenix. we've also been talking about those fires across southern california, guys. today conditions improve. instead of an offshore flow that's a very dry flow, we start to see the winds come off the water. that increases the moisture con content in the air. that helps firefighters in the next few days. >> alisyn: thanks so much, rick. >> tucker: thank you, rick. >> alisyn: looking at other headlines. a fox news alert now. while you were sleeping, iraq has apparently thwarted a plot to have poisonous gas in the u.s. the plan was to use, listen to this, toy planes to release the gas. five men admitted manufacturing

mustard and sarin gas and they received help from an al-qaeda linked group. we first told you last week about senator john mccain's surprise visit to syria. now some are claiming that two of the rebels he met with had terrorist ties to al-qaeda. >> i think a problem for the obama administration and the west as a whole is that terrorists including al-qaeda are very prominent in the opposition. senator mccain was actually photographed with two al-qaeda affiliate leaders on his recent visit. >> alisyn: but in a statement released late last night, a spokesman for mccain said, quote, this is just so false and outrageous, it's hard to fathom. the senator never met with or took a picture with anyone from al-qaeda. that's just outrageous. that's actually never even been alleged. a democratic congressman from florida in damage control mode. freshman congressman jeff garcia's chief of staff and other staffers are now under investigation for allegedly

exercises. >> clayton: this is outrageous. think about families scrounging together to send money to the irs. they're not sure how they'll be able to pay for schooling or food on the table for the summer or the later part of the year, and to think they're spending $49 million, cheese trays and large buffets and expensive vacations. >> tucker: in vegas. >> alisyn: it's more than just food that they're squandering your money on. they're also doing absurd videos like this one. >> it's critical for their continued success in the field assistance tax. they've got to board for cpe. >> wonder what we will wear. do you think formal attire will be appropriate? >> yes. that would be lovely. >> mrs. howell, hold on. we need to know all about this. what's it all about? >> mary ann, we're going to share our experiences with all field assistance employees

during cpe. >> i remember cpe. it was so much fun. >> alisyn: it would be funny he if it weren't so sickening. $49 million over just three years. >> tucker: that's not all, ali. they did a gilligan island's ripoff and "star trek" rip off for team building. this is important. they learned how to line dance, learning the cupid shuffle. take a look at this at a conference. >> will their success be doomed by this continued a absence. ♪ >> alisyn: they finally got it. yea, the narrator say. if it looks well shot, it is. they spent $1600 producing this video at the conference. i mean, just again the reckless spending, the complete cavalier

nature of not realizing that this is your money while they go to these conferences, you know. you can put everything under the cloak of team building. it's important when you work together. you can also do what we do. go out to lunch. pay for it by yourself. >> tucker: do a good job. this is not just the irs this is happening at. every federal agency has conferences like this. they're wasting your money. why are they getting away with it? because no one can be fired. you're more likely to die as a federal employee than be fired. if you're in an office where no one can be fired, you can do whatever you want. you can snoop on your political enemies and waste money on vegas conferences. >> meanwhile, pat buchanan said he's not surprised by this. he's shocked by the white house. he can't believe heads aren't rolling in all of this. listen to pat buchanan. >> he found out about the irs scandal the same day you and i did. he knew nothing about what was going on with james rosen at the justice department or the ap at the justice department.

in benghazi, he did not know about the security problem. he had nothing to do with the talking points. i mean, the president seems to be clueless about all of these things. i mean, i worked for three presidents, and i think that heads would roll. i mean, i can see what would happen if i hadn't told the chief of staff something i had known, picked up like that that had to go right in? you'd be in real trouble. why in the blazes didn't you tell us this? >> clayton: the argument that it did not make it all the way up the chain? if that's the case, it's incompetence. >> alisyn: not only that, so many articles have come out in the past that the president appears to be a bystander of his administration. is he really that disconnected or are they protecting him? >> clayton: they keep falling back on this. this week the daily call reported that as you may have read that the acting irs chief, doug shulman, went to the white house 1 57 times during the

first administration. >> tucker: the white house defense against this amazing and shocking fact is that actually, the white house logs are so inaccurate that we don't really know. >> alisyn: comforting. >> tucker: we're just not keeping track. >> clayton: if it's digital, you can't do a search for douglas shulman in the log roll and find out if his name pops up? >> tucker: in the same breath they say we're totally trans transparent. by the way, we can't tell you how much times they actually came. >> alisyn: the biggest problem is the president promised this would be the most transparent administration in history, and so when these scandals pop up, in a is what is so disappointing to democrats as well that oh, right, it's once again big, bloatd bureaucracy and its not transparent. >> tucker: the public has a right to know who is meeting with your lawmakers, you have a

right to know where your money is going, and you have a right to find out who is responsible for targeting the president's political enemies. >> clayton: you have the right to believe your commander-in-chief is where the buck stops, sort of harry truman. the buck stops here with me. anyway, we've been telling you about these scandals. of course, the irs scandal continues to go. now several florida conservative groups claim they were targeted as well. the attorney general is here to explain about it. >> alisyn: she caught him cheating, so she sent him on a scavenger hunt for his stuff. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

joining us now with new information is florida's attorney general, pa pam p. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, guys. >> there are many, many instances popping up around the country, also in florida. tell us what you know. >> in florida i was traveling throughout the state just meeting with various business groups and a gentleman walked up to me and this is a very, very bright man, had a huge corporation, and he handed me a pafnlgt i could not believe it. he also happens to be head of the local tea party in his county. >> what was in the pact? it took him over two years attempting to get his status for the tea party, and he kept contacting, i think, over 18 months he was contacting the irs, couldn't get a response, couldn't get a response. finally when they did, they gave him two weeks to respond, asking him all sorts of questions such as what's discussed at your meetings? all kinds of personal questions that shouldn't have been asked. he documented it well, and he said the agent told him listen,

this isn't me. this comes from above. >> clayton: meanwhile, the president's half brother had a fake charity get irs tax exemption in 30 days. >> isn't that interesting. >> tucker: the saddest part is guys like the person you described probably complained about it and no one believed him until now. >> until now. that's right. when he handed me this packet, tucker, i could not believe it. >> clayton: what recourse do the groups have now that they've publicly admitted. a class action lawsuit in the state of florida? what can you do to help him? >> what we're doing is we're asking anyone in florida what group do you belong to? it doesn't matter if you're a conservative or a liberal group. i doubt liberal groups have been targeted. if you've been targeted by the irs, we want you to contact us, so we can get a listing of everyone who's been targeted and do everything we can to help them. i have a feeling everything will run smoothly now that this has

come up. now the irs, we all report to the irs. >> yes. that's for sure. >> they're a neutral agency. >> tucker: why has no one been fired over this? >> it's ridiculous. >> tucker: how can it be better if the people responsible are working? >> they'll be held accountable. this is an agency, of course, that they're supposed to be impartial and you know, they act with such impugnity that they have to be held accountable, and in the court of public opinion, they certainly will. i think people absolutely have to be fired. we have to get to the top of this because we all again report to the irs and we have to be able to trust them. >> tucker: i like when you say get to the top of this. we know where the bottom is. we have to figure out how high this goes. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up on the show, a story we've been following closely. a little girl will die within weeks without a lung transplant. red tape is standing in the way

4-year-old boy. he was swept away by flood waters as his family took shelter in a drainage ditch. mike tobin is standing by live. what do you see, mike? >> reporter: well, i'll tell you. the oklahoma city police say they are still looking for a number of people, a man and three children who have been missing since those tornadoes ravaged this area. here in union city, what we can see, a lot of the random selection of the tornadoes. you have a house like the one behind me here that was wrecked almost to the ground. next door, and on the other side, are homes that are largely standing still intact. always very random. particularly with the tornadoes that aren't of the higher category. the people who live here were able to get out in the sunlight yesterday and see what the tornadoes left behind. >> i ca can rebuild. i, you know, am in shock. i knew that, you know, things

were not going to be the same, but i can rebuild. i mean, this is material, you know. i have my husband. i have my son. those are the important things. >> reporter: a surprising number of casualties were people who did not heed the warnings about sheltering in place. they got in their cars and tried to outrun the storm. a lot of people got stacked up on i-40 and found themselves in gridlock, sitting ducks as the tornado bored down on them. the authorities out here say seven of the people killed were people who are likely to get in their cars, including a mother and her young child. the national weather service confirms, as you mention, five tornadoes struck this area, varying strength. the strongest of them was an ef-3, a very powerful tornado, but still not the most powerful on the enhanced fujita scale. back to you. >> alisyn: mike, i don't know if you heard this from talking to people out there, but what we

heard yesterday in interviewing a lot of people from the area is that some of the local stations had told people try to get to the south if you can. get out. they thought it was going to be so big, they actually instructed people to try to get in their cars and get away if they could. >> reporter: well, it's all very interesting, what you're hearing from the authorities now as far as the people who didn't shelter, didn't get down in their basements or storm cellars or crawl spaces or whatever they had. they should have known better, particularly people living in tornado alley. when you get the bigger tornadoes at the ef-4s and 5s which you see from the structures left behind, it looks like a home that wasn't built yet. all that's left is the foundation. you see very clearly the only people who had a chance to survive are the people who got below ground. the people who are experienced with tornadoes and have seen this kind of destruction in the past know the car is no place to be when the car is coming. your only chance is one of those shelters. that's why you have authorities say people who live out here should have known better.

>> alisyn: we were stunned to hear how many people who don't have storm shelters. obviously they're trying to get the money to build them. mike tobin, thank you. we'll check in with you. >> clayton: rick reichmuth tweeting out information about where to find storm shelters. >> especially after last week's moore tornado. a lot of people trying to get storm shelters. they generally run around 3,000 bucks. people want to get those, but there's a backlog from what i'm hearing for people to get that. a few people have tweeted me information. i've tweeted some of that information about some places where people can try to find them. an ef-3 tornado was a very powerful tornado. it's not as big as an ef-5 that hit moore, but to put it in perspective, we have 50ef-tornadoes in the last 60 years in the country. you don't see those all that often. you have three tornadoes, an incredibly powerful tornado that can obviously cause a lot of loss of life. five tornadoes in that area. there is some more severe weather headed there by the time we get to tuesday. at this point it doesn't look

like it will be as strong of a system, but one to be careful of nonetheless. we'll show you what's going on. that same storm system now pulling towards the northeast. you'll see a threat mostly for strong winds today. some of these storms move through with the cold front. it's very hot and steamy ahead of the storm. that will change behind it. it's going to finally cool down, the steamy conditions. the first heat wave across the mid atlantic this week, that will be gone by the time we get to tomorrow. today, another warm one. the showers moving through to the southeast. you see a lot of rain there across the central gulf. once that front moves through, it dries out. we'll see more sunshine and humidity levels will drop off quite a bit. towards the northern plains, also dry. in fact, temps cooler, only getting to six 9 today and 64 in columbia, mo where they've seen so much rain from all of these storms. out across the southwest, it's just hot. temperatures at 107 again today in tucson. probably today, maybe the hottest day we've seen this week, and another day of high fire danger, at least warmer

conditions and drier conditions in southern california. tomorrow, we start to see things moisten up a little bit. we'll see more moisture move in towards the area. that's good news for them. send it back to you inside. >> thanks, rick. >> clayton: we begin with this developing story overnight. racing to contain a raging brush fire. it's 60 miles north of los angeles. nearly a thousand people in the area have been told to leave their homes. the fire broke out last week at a nearby hydroelectric plant. so far it's charred more than 5,000 acre. in new mexico, two wildfires forced 200 families to evacuate their homes near santa fe. hundreds of firefighters still battling that fire this morning. >> clayton: this morning more than 292,000 people have signed a petition to help 10-year-old sarah. she has end stage cystic fibrosis, and she's been on the

lung transplant list for the last year and a half. because she's under 12, she will only qualify after all adults on that list have been considered first. health and human services secretary has ordered a review of the policy. for now, sarah's family says it does little for the little girl who has at this point just weeks to live. >> we are down to, you know, sort of a desperate situation. there's not much left. what we have learned is that any person, any individual who is choosing to donate their loved ones lungs can insist they go to sarah. we think that's the only way sarah will be saved. >> tucker: the family is waiting this morning. you can sign the position at change.org. you think low gas prices would be a good thing, but not in wisconsin, apparently. state officials launching an investigation after prices plunged by almost 50 cents a gallon to 3.39. this happened in the town of,

the editor at large from shape magazine. a lot of people get sick from summer picnics because you leave products outside. >> it's hot. >> alisyn: what do we need to know about being safe at a picnic? >> the most important thing is to bring two coolers, one for the beverages and one for the food. hey want to drink throughout the day and they open up the coolers. keep your meat and your poll tree and your -- piewl tre pould your other products in one. >> alisyn: let's talk about how to be safe at a barbecue. it sits out a long time. some of it is hot, some of it is is cold. >> if you're dealing with raw food, use two different types of cutting boards. also, your thermometer is your best friend. you need to remember that poultry needs to be cooked at

165, ground beef, 160, and then your steaks and stuff, 145. always use a thermometer. >> is mayonnaise really dangerous to be left out? how many hours can you go before it's not okay. >> get a little product on your plate and put it back into the cooler. better to be safe than sorry. >> in terms of the cutting boards, you designate one for vegetables and fruits and one for meat. >> exactly. >> can you do all your meat on one. >> no. >> i say at a picnic just do chicken or beef. that sounds like a lot of cutting boards. >> alisyn: let's talk about the day at the beach. >> at the beach, the most important thing to remember, you should always be washing your hands. we don't have access to soap, so always bring wipes to the beach before you eat. also, remember it's important to stay hydrated. sip a little water for 15 minutes. if you don't like water, bring fruits and veggies that have tons of water, melons,

cantaloupe. > >> alisyn: that's a great reminder. i really don't like water. if you put some cold berries or something in it to jazz it up. >> make sure you're not dehydrated. you can get sick. you can get sun burn, so always, always drink tons of water, and your snacks, don't deal with a cooler. bring things that are prepackaged. >> easy stuff at the beach. like it. clayton and tucker, we'll see you inside. thanks. >> tucker: ali, you don't like water? >> alisyn: no. it's boring and dull. >> tucker: you also hate the sunlight and air? >> alisyn: no. i like sunlight. >> tucker: conservative commencement speakers need not apply. wait until you hear the staggering bias at colleges and universities. >> clayton: super nanny is here. you won't believe the advice she's giving to make you a better parent. ♪ what do you think?

>> good morning, tucker. >> tucker: these numbers are unbelievable. you say in the last two years there's not been a single conservative speaker at an ivy league school or any top college above the mason-dixon line. can that be true? >> or even outside of his own state except for jon huntsman. the fact is if you're a currently-elected republican official, then all of them combined have the same number of speeches as cory booker, the mayor of newark, and the odds of getting invited to spoke outside of your home state is the same as the odds of speaking at a romulen convention. >> tucker: all of this talk of diversity is a to total lie. if you're not liberal, you're not welcome. >> but the worst part for me is there have been a couple of cases where conservatives have been invited to speak and then they've been shouted down and ridiculed and abused so much they've been forced to withdraw. ben carson and bob zellek who have been critical of president

obama, and that's enough to get them shouted down. we're in a world where you can have hate speech on college campuses as long as it's targeted at conservatives. >> tucker: if you think of the hundreds of billions of dollars that go to support these, in many cases, private colleges and universities, our tax dollars are paying for this nonsense. why doesn't somebody put his foot down in the congress and say we're going to suspend any grants to these schools until you start getting some real diversity? >> that's a great idea. another good idea for the governors is they control their state universities. they should start to insist there's more political balance, but the fact is it seems like they're unable to make any traction for whatever reason. maybe it's tenure or what, but the fact is that they're not going after these universities at all. they're letting them teach people to be liberal, teach people to vote democrat and shun conservatives. >> tucker: it's actually unbelievable once you get the numbers. you brought them to us. we're grateful for that. thanks, kevin. super nanny is back. but this time joe frost is out

i don't think there is anything wrong with off the record sessions. a lost president do it. george w. bush, they would invite ang kergs and the president would give his, anchors in and the president would talk about various issues. the difference here this is scandal. eric holder is right at the center of the scandal. the idea that self-respecting reporters would go and meet with him and not be able to quote what his answers were, on the discrepancy between his testimony and his actions, i can understand why fox news and lots of other news organizations said we are not going to participate. >> tucker: who do you 0 the show today? >> we are going to be talking to the house of judiciary and talking to chris van hollond about the scamp and reince priebus

mind all the time. >> one of the billing sources of stress and the research shows that women's stress level is twice as high as men's in the workplace. stress hormone is not a good thing all the time. so we want to change this. so if you step on somebody's foot, stress hormone goes up and goes down. if somebody steps on your foot and you feel it is intentional and they did this to me, your stress hormone goes up higher and lasts for days. if we can understand men don't mean a lot of this behavior. recently when the guy said on tv that men have always been dominant. that word has too much baggage with it. you can't use that word. all the women said what about men is dominant. who should be dominant? word have potency and part of what we're learning here without being it politically incorrect. there is sensitivity and a

little more awareness to make the experience of the workplace a much more positive experience for men and women. because the workplace was designed by men for men and it is good for men but not necessarily good for women the way it's been designed. it's not against women, but it didn't include women in the creation. >> alisyn: got it. john gray, the author and the book is "work with me." thanks so much for joining us. >> i think you held ali a lot. >> alisyn: he said a lot. check it out online. megyn kelly had an interesting exchange. >> tucker: was bill clinton's backing of obama a secret deal for hillary clinton on deck for 2016. a political bombshell. >> clayton: watch out world, b.j. kitty. this cat scratcher looks cool but is it worth the money?

revelation, revelation of what god's will is for us and how we should behave. so the atheist group, american atheists had have decided they want a monument. the sad thing in my opinion, rather than respecting different people's opinions, this is what could call not an atheist monument but a christian pro test monument. so protesting the fact that the ten commandments are there. i don't find it respectful. i think it is disrespectful. >> the american atheists writes about this. while separation of religion and government are primary motivation, equal access works for us. we are thrilled to place what we believe is the atheist sponsored monument in the history of the united states. >> what they do on this atheist bench, they put the ten commandments and the old testament punishment for anyone who breaks these. they are making fun of the ten commandments.

that is one thing. secondly, you need to look at local communities what is the precedent has been to religious monuments and symbols on federal property. it's always been that when a group of people, local people want their religious symbol to be present in order to be a reminder of the source of law, then that is respected. for example, in local or federal state or city property, a crush at christmastime. they say, as long as you allow a menorah. it's respectful of the local community but this is protest. >> alisyn: and on some level they are forcing it to take it down, the cross or ten commandments. this one we're going to put our own message on it? >> i'm glad they stood up
