reason. >> heather: find out why a local community is up in arms after a one teacher speaks out to his students warning them about a probing questionnaire. our legal panel debates. >> gregg: fox news extreme weather alert. on two stories developing. first southern california where a massive wildfire that broke out last week is now burning dangerously close to two foothill communities north of los angeles and threatening more than one thousand infrastructures. in oklahoma city a search remains for possible victims of heavy flooding following the outbreak of severe tornadoes. live in el reno in oklahoma but first we'll go to dominic live near the angeles national forest, more than a thousand homes could be at risk.

how bad is the damage today? >> i it will you what, these are rapid winds that are making it for fire crews to see who is at risk. in the past few minutes, right behind me, off in the distance you can see new bank of smoke that has come in. it's very thick and heading in the direction of lancaster. it looks like it broke out elizabeth lake road just on the edge of lake liz bets the community here and lake hughes. one of the most difficult things i see fire crews, because the wind turns back on itself. they keep getting caught up in that. thousand homes but in green valley they have are under risk. in a couple hours, they are not sure how many homes have to be evacuated. still mandatory evacuations right here where we are at lake hoots and elizabeth. we have had planes coming

invade sweeping up water and fleet of helicopters come in with buckets to put them down slowly. they are expecting heavy winds to pick up about two hours from now, i have to say the breeze has picked up. we were speaking to a fire crew a couple minutes ago, look, this breeze, it's strong enough to flare-up yet again. it will be incredible with the powerhouse wildfire that seems to be going to a large area of southern california. >> gregg: dominic, we'll check back with you. >> heather: over to central oklahoma where a massive recovery effort is under way after a swarm of deadly tornadoes ravaged the area friday night. will is live in el reno, one of the hardest hit areas? >> that is right. i'm sitting right in front of the local stockyard and this took a direct hit. this is where a restaurant

was in the back of stockyard and there is not much left. there is pieces of this restaurant all over the place. one thing i wanted to show you a glass counter. it's still standing. it has pieces of pie and cake and hot sauce on the problem. amazing part of this, further in, is the staircase. this is where 7 employees actually hid underneath when the tornado hit the building all managed to escaped and nobody was hurt. we just spoke with the owner of the restaurant. here is what he told us. >> you can look at it as being evil, truly god blessed us because none were hurt. what goes through my mind first, everybody was good. everybody was safe and not a scratch on them. >> reporter: now, there is more than the physical damage here. the owner tells me he has ten employees who now don't

have a job for the foreseeable future and also tells me he didn't have insurance, but he is waiting to hear how much help they will get from the state and federal levels. no matter what happens they will rebuild. >> heather: you hear the emotion in his voice. thank you very much. >> gregg: very serious situation in both oklahoma and california, will these areas see any relief at all? let's turn for some answers to meteorologist jan igs dean in extreme weather center. >> let's talk about the storms, storms that brought tornadoes up to missouri and illinois. that is on the move. we have a frontal boundary boundary for severe storms today. i don't think we're going to see large tornadoes but isolated. we have a severe thunderstorm watch in parts of the northeast new england and within this watch we are seeing some

rotation. the possibility for some tornadoes, as well. right now, severe thunderstorm warnings all up and down new england and through portions of upstate new york and pennsylvania. we will keep an eye on this. certainly we could see winds in excess of 70 miles an hour and very large hail. severe threat is widespread across the mideast and north atlantic. we'll keep an eye to the sky and local fox news weather. let's take a look severe threat across portions of new mexico and texas. heading into tuesday, a low moving out of the rockies and potential of storms in explain. look at wednesday's threat. unfortunately for areas ravaged by tornadoes within the last couple of weeks, ef-5 for parts of moore, oklahoma and ef-3 for that battered area of el reno. look what we're dealing with. couple of days of quiet

weather then, tuesday, wednesday and thursday, that is where we're seeing for stronger severe storms. on the flip side, wildfire danger across california and new mexico. potential for some showers to get in here but with the winds that could actually prompt more wildfire danger to spread. looking at the powerhouse fire where we have dominic, we have very warm temperatures. temperatures will cool slightly, but we're still dealing with erratic winds and and it's going to remain dry. unfortunately our conditions one be too good for firefighters in the next couple of days. >> gregg: janice dean. a tragic story to tell you about. >> three veteran storm chasers were among those killed by the deadly tornado. seen here in episode of discovery series storm chasers back in 2009, killed along with his son paul and long time partner

carl young. they traveled the nation in search of bad weather. that he died during what he loved -- back to janice dean. you always wonder about the reasonable and unreasonable risks? >> i was watching the footage coming in friday, are we going to have video on delay like car chasers. chasers are getting too close, not to take away from the storm researchers that have lost their lives. these are veterans that do the thing for tornado research. we can only rely need trained weather spotters on the ground, but i feel there are too many storm chasers maybe in it for the wrong reasons to get too close to the video on the roads. in el reno this was an erratic storm.

we can't outrun mother nature. it was rain wrapped. a lot of folks didn't have a chance unfortunately. it wasn't a matter of if, but it was matter of when. unfortunately these folks, their lives were taken. >> gregg: being in a car to be in the wrong place to be. >> it really is. they are sitting ducks. >> gregg: janice, thanks very much. >> heather: growing calls for eric holder to either step down for be fired as the scandal over the government spying on the media. at issue, accusations that the top law enforcement officer may have lied to congress when he testified under oath. national correspondent steve sunday tan any is live in washington. what the next step for republicans on capitol hill? >> they say they are going to investigate to find out if holder lied on congress. on may 15, he testified that he played no parted in any potential criminal

probe of reporters, but the justice department says he signed off on that investigation of fox reporter james rosen. here is this. >> well, i think we ought to subpoena the attorney general to come back and answer those questions specifically. this is congress fulfilling it's constitutional obligations and provide oversight over the executive branch of government. >> and they have demanded answers have not received a reply. >> heather: this is not good news for president obama? >> no, he has his hands full with the benghazi and irs scandal and now he has to decide what to do with the attorney general. it's serious if he faces perjury charges. democrats say there is no evidence that at this point that any perjury was committed. >> listen, yes, as i said i haven't seen a single accusation that prevents him from doing his job.

>> i don't think there is perjury. there has been no prosecution or attempted prosecution of any journalists. there can't be perjury. >> democrats also say democrats also say republicans are trying to divert attention away from serious issues like jobs and economy. >> heather: thank you. what is members in the investigation and will eric holder keep his job? we'll have a fair and balanced debate on that a little later in the show. plus, fox news sunday takes up the future of eric holder. chris wallace is doing dpourn an interview. that is at 6:00 p.m. eastern time right here on fox. >> gregg: a fox news alert from middle east. rockets and mortar rounds from syria slamming hezbollah strongholds in lebanon. it is the largest cross border strike since syrian rebels threatened to retal

nowhere. russia blocking a u.n. resolution calling an end to the violence. russia and u.s. is moving ahead a conference in june aimed at launching wider peace talks but they are threatening to boycott those talks. they are unlikely to succeed, there is hope talks will produce something in the long term. u.s. officials are saying we have to continue to push with talks because any type of u.s. military intervention seems very unlikely. >> gregg: conner, thanks. >> heather: coming up, we'll have a unique look at illegal immigration, new study shows who is crossing border and how it is affecting american workers. >> gregg: actress angelina jolie making her first public appearance after announcing she underwent a double mastectomy. >> and brand-new pictures from the murder kidnapping that happened in january, first look inside the

it is nearly all men who make up illegal border crossings, half of them already have jobs lined up giving us a true sense of the competition that american workers are finding in those areas. brenda buttner is joining us anchor of "bulls and bears" right here on the fox news channel. last year, 356,000 people made it across our border successfully, but the survey found that is only half of those who attempted to do it. so in other words, we're saying 50,000 made it through as undocumented workers. that is border security 50% failure rate. so when janet napolitano, border security is really effective, the facts would belie that? >> we have could to keep in mind back in 1999 more than a million beam were detained. so there is decrease

minimum wage down. >> gregg: are they taking jobs away? >> that is the real question. i mean in an economy like this where we're having trouble and there is such high unemployment, people are willing to work at jobs they may not be willing to in more boom ties times. >> they are not taking away too many skilled jobs? >> there is a big debate go b that, bringing in more skilled laborers, immigrants. >> do they use social programs like hospitals and schools that take taxpayer money and that is therefore another implication on our economy? >> most of them don't have insurance. if they get sick they will go to the emergency room and eventually the government pays for that. schools are paid for by taxpayers but they tend to petraeus roll taxes and don't use the social

security or medicaid because they are not eligible. they are putting in more money than they actually take out. >> gregg: do they benefit the economy because generally they spend everything they make? >> yes, but they send a lot of money home. if their family is here, yes, they are spending. >> gregg: brenda, good to see you. catch her on "bulls and bears" every sunday 10:00 a.m. right here. >> heather: gregg, take a look at this. first look inside the bunker in alabama where a five-year-old boy was held captive for six days. you remember this happened back in january. here is the kidnapper he was jimmy he dykes he was shot dead when f.b.i. agents stormed the bunker that was filled with weapons. now it shows the room. it was eight by six feet. slightly bigger an parking space to give you what it is.

intelligence believe that they were closing tracking the suspects may have led to a different outcome preventing the carnage of april 15th. >> had we the level sharing and cooperation that is taking place right now, if we had that, back at that period of time the bombing may have been averted. it underscores the importance of this information sharing and underscores how important for us to cooperate. >> reporter: congressman and republican representative from california said at a news conference, said in moscow that nothing specific could have helped to stop the attack but the whole situation would have been different with a much higher level of cooperation. >> yes, it could have been averted, not just by one mistake made by the united states or one mistake made over here in russia, but instead by making sure that both countries were working together at a much higher level. >> reporter: in 2011,

russian intelligence officials reached out to the f.b.i. and c.i.a. to warn them about tsarnaev believing he was radicalized and was ready to join radical militants. >> heather: the heat is on eric holder. republicans in congress now investigating whether he committed perjury when he testified under oath two weeks ago and said that he had nothing to do with the potential prosecution of fox news reporter james rosen. this is even though it's been revealed that mr. holder approved of a search warrant to seize email and phone records. the justice department said he did not lie, but today on fox news sunday, the chairman of the house judiciary committee saying there is a discrepancy he needs to explain? >> these are more troublesome when the department issues a statement because mr. rosen was not prosecuted,

therefore the attorney general was telling the truth. quite frankly he referred in his testimony to potential prosecution and then he went on to say that he had never even heard of such a thing. >> heather: a political consultant and former advisor to hillary clinton and deneen borelli and direct of out reach and office of backlash join us. thank you for joining us. first of all, let's begin on may 15th, speaking before the house committee, he told the committee he was not involved in potential prosecution of a member of at press under the espionage act for disclosing classified information. these are exact words. he said, quote with regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of materials, that is not something that i have been involved in, heard of or

would think would be a wise policy. richard, did he tell the truth or did he lie? >> further back, heather and key facts. first, the state department had information that he disclosed that was classified regarding u.s. intelligence officials penetrating the north korean leadership, it was illegal to leak that. james rosen is not disputing the fact he got information from mr. kim and published that. everybody is up in arms and he aided, mr. kim didn't put it out in public domain. james rosen did. he was aiding the leak which itself was illegal. >> heather: you are not answering the question. >> i am. the policy of doj was never to have one and every first year law student that a

prosecution begins when a prosecutor seeks to bring criminal charges against the defendant. that simply did not happen here. putting somebody's name and accusing them of an aider and abettor in a warrant does rise to the level. >> heather: i wanted you to respond to this. let me go into what richard is saying. there we do know the attorney general had personally signed off on the search warrant and the search warrant, the f.b.i. called him a criminal co-conspirator and suggested there was probable cause. i'm not an attorney but probable cause not signal potential prosecution? >> why else would they have issued the search warrant or a request for the search warrant, excuse me? eric holder is chief law enforcer of america. first he said i didn't know

anything. then we find out he signed off on a search warrant affidavit. i find his conduct and character an absolute disgrace. american people deserve more. we need answers, he should be held accountable to for that he did. >> heather: is this getting to the it in picking of wordings and what means what and definition of words? >> it certainly does not warrant an investigation. eric holder would stipulate that he remembered when he signed that warrant, but what he would say -- this is matter of law -- any first year law student would tell you a prosecution is when a prosecutor seeks to bring criminal charges. just using any kind of word that sounds like a prosecution isn't it. pursuing criminal charges, it is not nitpicking. that is what the law is about. there may be legitimate scandals and everybody

should take a deep breath but this isn't one of them. >> heather: he finds the attorney general's statement troubling. he took a step further speaking to shannon bream. >> he has got a deadline set by you and congressman until wednesday. if he does not answer, what is the next step for the attorney general? >> well, i think we ought to subpoena the attorney general to come back and answer those questions specifically. this is congress fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide oversight over the executive branch of government. >> heather: this means holder does not meet wednesday's deadline, do you agree or disagree. congress is doing their job? >> they should investigate this and make him accountable. holder was not cooperative with congress under fast and furious. he is the first sitting cabinet member that was

under censure by what he did by not providing documents in fast and furious. he is not going to cooperate now. he lied to america. he should be held accountable, but this is what the obama administration has been doing, it's an activist government administration and it's the department of justice. >> heather: richard, you spoke first. >> prosecution will back me up. it's not this. >> heather: thank you very much. >> gregg: school district is coming down incredibly hard on a teacher who informs students they really didn't have to answer a survey designed by school administrators. here a heads-up. you may be outraged over the questions they were asked and many are angry it was the teacher that got punished. we'll be right back with that. when it came to ur plants, we were so confused.

his actions. and joining us is our panel both defense attorneys. robert these are incredibly intrusive questions that bear almost no relevance to education. so in terms of self-incrimination, did the teacher get it right? >> absolutely. his gut reaction when he picked the survey out of his mailbox, wait a second, they are asking questions of illegal activity of my students. his reaction to tell them, you have a right social studies lesson, you have a right not to incriminate himself. >> gregg: he just taught his students bill of rights. you think he is wrong? >> there is no incrimination. just because you check a box and done drugs in the past, there is no time, place of you on kurns. >> gregg: what if you go further and you confess in a moment, i don't know morality, i'm running a meth lab or i'm peddling

coke, you could be prosecuted? >> in that scenario. it said to check a box whether or not. >> gregg: a pen and a pencil and write in the lines and elaborate? >> what was being asked in that survey was not a fifth amendment issue. therefore the teacher got it wrong, therefore the school board had a right to discipline the teacher by doing something that contrary to school policy. >> gregg: the superintendent said the fifth amendment doesn't reply here because responses are protected by student privacy rules. that is nonsense. >> during the course of investigation, we have a very large drug problem in this school. law enforcement gets involved, all they is a subpoena. police department can get their hands on those documents, a lot easier than the school wants to make you believe. >> privacy is nonsense but

my argument there is no fifth amendment because you are not incriminating yourself. >> gregg: wait a minute. under age drug use is according to the superintendent not a punishable offense, he is incorrect? >> incorrect but there is no time, place or occurrence. i did drugs on such and such a date and such and such place. >> you have to understand, they haven't told the students what their overall goal for the surveys are. these students are checking off a box and i'm going to be be honest. the school now knows, little tom jones has done drugs and giving it to other students. is it being sold in our hallways. they don't know what they are going to do with this information. >> gregg: its societal purpose. >> does this public school have in asking such intrusive questions. i'm a parent of two teenagers. they go to public schools.

i would downright angry if they asked my daughters. >> you could advise your daughters not to answer the survivors. we have a drug and alcohol epidemic in society. they are trying to get involved and discourage it. >> gregg: is this within the purview of parents and not schools? >> absolutely. they need to work together. parents, schools, there always be the parents and they are start and schools to maintain, look forewarning signs. resources they have in the schools to help identify the students that need help. >> gregg: and 4,000 people have signed a petition, it looks like to me the school board and superintendent may be at risk and not the teacher. >> my argument is not they right decision, my argument is they had the right to make the decision. >> gregg: what about f other teachers were doing the same thing?

>> welcome back, a terror magazine now speaking to capitalized on recent international attacks. at new issue of "inspire "magazine, they praise the suspects, praises the suspects, behind the deadly attacks in boston and london. it echoes the nypd commissioner who expressed concern during a speech at a conference of police chiefs last week.

part of the speech reads and i quote, "the crude attack al-qaeda has encouraged followers to carry out are realized. they are capable of doing tremendous damage." joining us is the former deputy assistant secretary of defense and fox news national security analyst, always enjoy having you. k.t., is this the new face of terrorism and how would you describe it? >> guest: it is the new face. what happened with al-qaeda, they got smart and realized that they were not going to be able to do the bin laden big attacks like the twin towers. what they did, they targeted american, english-speaking young muslim males and created online magazine called "inspire" magazine described as a martha stewart living for jihad wannabes about their lifestyle and a famous article "how to build a bomb in your mom's

kitchen." it has recipes for how to go to home depot and get the explosive devices off the shelves. that is what boston marathon bombings followed. the fascinating thing is it is hard to see these guys coming. why? it is not a big jihadist operation like bin laden with people and money crossing borders. they carry american citizenship or visas. >> heather: isn't that part of the point? >> guest: exactly. and to do this alone. we have gotten good, the f.b.i., at sting operations so you can infiltrate bigger operations but these attacks, how to build a bomb in the kitchen of my mom, the london meat cleaver guy, those are individuals maybe they are doing it with a brother or relative but they are not big operations. >> heather: how do we counter it? >> guest: it is hard. what struck me looking at the

videos, those guys were so casual when they were taking that bomb at the foot of a child knowing that child would be dead in ten minutes. how did they get to be so casual because it is lick a science experiment. how do you infiltrate that? the only way is to close the websites down account website that had this "inspire" magazine i tried to get on it and it has been shut down and it was shut down yesterday. the only way we do it is to monitor the people who go to the websites and, unfortunately, it will be hard. probably there will be more of these. >> heather: the magazines, the last one with the bomb building recipe including the one with the pressure cooking being mentioned, the the latest edition is targeting americans. that makes it a little bit different. >> guest: the latest says that the boston marathon bombings were our guys, they used our

somerset county, maine, so if you live if this area, stay alert. temperatures behind the front are really cooler-than-average temperatures and ahead of it we have the warm air mass that is one of the main ingredients we need for the severe weather which will continue in the northeast and for parts of the southwest, as well. millions of people live here across the northeast so this is going to be a concern through the evening and into the overnight, and into tomorrow, as well, for the rush hour, looking at front which is on the move and by midday it should be out of there but if i could point your attention to the moisture that we will get out of not only the front but tropical moisture working its way into florida we are watching this feature in the yucatan that could develop in the next couple of days. it could be our first named storm, andrea. back to you.

>> gregg: with the potential to grow bigger than a storm? >> we think maybe a depression and possibly a storm. we do not think it will be a hurricane. but hurricane season started yesterday. >> gregg: we are busy enough with tornadoes. we are tracking yet another severe weather situation out of southern california, a wildfire threatening hundreds of homes near the national forest and it has exploded in size destroying an area of nearly 40 square miles erupt on thursday night with only0 percent containment. firefighters say that is because the areas' winds and the triple digit temperatures make the effort that were more difficult. >> heather: a growing fallout in the justice department scandal over spying on the media and the spotlight this time is shining a harsh glare on attorney general holder. lawmakers are investigating whether he lied unoath during the testimony two weeks ago.

some now call for him to either resign or be fired. national correspondent is live in washington. steve? >> pressure clearly is mounting on attorney general holder to explain why he told congress one thing or apparently told congress one thing but did something different. may 15, he testified in congress that he played no part in any potential criminal probe of any reporters. the justice department says he did sign off on that investigation of fox reporter james rosen. some say the attorney general committed perjury and they are demanding he explain himself. >> is it fair to say you are investigating attorney general holder for possible perjury? >> guest: we certainly are very concerned about that. that was the purpose of sending the letter. yes, it is fair to say we are investigating the conflict in his remarks. those remarks were made unoath. we also think it is very important the attorney general

be afforded the opportunity to respond. >> they asked for answers from holder but no lawmaker have received a rely this make it more difficult for president obama to focus on his agenda while he is defending himself on a variety of issues including the investigation of journalists. democrats say it is politically motivated and insist there is no evidence of purgery by holder. >> i don't think there is perjury, there has been no process or attempted prosecution of a journalist so there cannot be perjury. the warrant is a tool to get information. i don't think that the too contradict each other. >>reporter: the white house has said holder's testimony was truthful but there are many questions still remaining. >> heather: the i.r.s. and all of its recent troubles the be the subject of three hearings this week in congress.

the embattled tax agency turning over this video to congressional lawmakers on friday featuring a dozen of its employees, yes, line dancing, on stage. that video was produced for a training conference back in 2010. the cost in $1,600 for line dancing. there are two more of the videos that the i.r.s. also turned over, altogether, all of the films cost taxpayers a whopping $60,000. on top of this a house committee says a soon-to-be released treasury department report will find that i.r.s. spent $50 million to hold 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012. congressman reacting to this. >> the culture of the i.r.s. during this period was one that did not particularly care about whether they spent well, the taxpayers' money.

that included what they paid for hotel rooms and many of the perks they showered on themselves. our goal is to create just on what the i.r.s. is doing with personal and better responsibility when orders come down as they appear to that were wrong to do things that should not have been done. an inspector general will release the report any day now and the house committee will take up the issue in a hearing this week. what do you think? >> gregg: it is a party culture at the i.r.s. i am sure there is a connection between that and targeting conservatives. >> heather: does the line video include a dance instructor? greek greg they weren't very good. they were kind of bad. >> heather: a little. the white house is trying to defend itself from multiple scandals including the i.r.s. and what is the political impact of the continuing controversy?

we will have political insiders in the house to break it down later in the show. >> gregg: new questions in the investigation into the boston marathon bombings after u.s. lawmakers looking into the dead pleasure attack say that russian officials believe if the united states had, indeed, acted on their warnings about tamerlan tsarnaev, the attack could have been prevented. polly? >> after traveling to russia and meeting with top intelligence officials, the law mays say based on russian intelligence, better communication could have prevented the boston marathon bombings. a republican representative said in a news conference this morning in now that nothing specific could have helped to stop the carnage of april 15 but the whole situation would have been different with a much higher level of cooperation. the counterparts in the united states and russia should work more closely in the future in the face of security threats that both countries face.

>> the fact is, we face the same major challenges. both of our countries. radical islam is at our throat in the united states and is at the throat of the russian people. >> a democrat from massachusetts held a press conference at logan airport yesterday revealing that russian intelligence officials believed that the now deceased tamerlan tsarnaev should have been much more closely tracked. russian authorities also reveal that a 27-year-old friend of tamerlan tsarnaev who was shot and killed by an f.b.i. agent under questioning in florida was mentioned, in intelligence exchanges, between the united states and russia, along with other russian nationals nearly a week after the bombing. the lawmakers who met with officials say they have offered a surprising 12 of cooperation and have so far shared more specific information than the

united states counterparts. >> gregg: thank you from our newsroom. >> heather: coming up, starbucks giving a message to smokeers: don't even take your smoking outside. there are new rules on smoking at the giant coffee chain. >> gregg: president obama has scandals on all sides. >> heather: the hangover from the great recession and americans are still feeling the pain in the bottom line with staggering information coming up.

and your home. home prices plummeted and that makes you feel much less wealthy. until the housing market starts to rebound it will be difficult to build it back. >> heather: so we are not in recovery until that happens. >> we are in recovery the economy is growing at a slow pace, it is a soft economy. >> heather: so that is why less than half of the wealth has been reaccumulated. >> securities are not spending enough. last month consumer spending declined for the first time in a year. what happens, the wealth effect, how wealthy you feel based on your home and your retirement plan and all of that, is much more powerful on the way down than it is on the way up. if home prices start to rise you don't spend as much as the decrease when houses were going

down. that is another thing, consumers don't feel as confident as they would. if they don't they will not spend, that is the way you get the economy moving. >> heather: some who have been able to re-establish wealth, those that have been in the stock market but that only affects wealthier families? >> in your 401(k)'s which a lot of people have seen, they have eastbound a huge benefit, the s&p is up 14 percent this year alone, the fastest five-month to a start since 1997 during the internet bubble, so stocks primarily are the way that people are starting to feel more wealthy. home prices are coming up, and that is something that is a positive. the problem is, if we see we have a big jobs number coming out on friday, and "wall street journal" will watch that. >> heather: give always prediction. >> the real news is, if it is soft, if it is not that good,

that is good news to the market. if it is good the market will not like it. that is because the federal reserve is watching the jobs market and it will stop the big bond-buying binge when the unemployment falls to a certain percentage. wall street is right new rooting for the economy not to do so well which is, you know, a crazy way to think. >> heather: that will not make a lot of sense to people sitting at home. >> absolutely. long-term the economy has to do well and the stock market usually is a leading indicator of what happens to the economy. if the stock market is going under the economy will rebuild. >> heather: what can be done for the average person sitting at home, middle income earner, they want to really start rebuilding their wealth at a quicker pace? >> housing prices are coming up and most the people are saveers and interest rates have been historic lows. if the fed does stop the

bond-buying binge interest rates will go up so cd's and savings account will go up were as well. >> heather: we need the housing numbers to continue to rise. >> absolutely. >> heather: hopefully that trend will continue. >> i expect it to continue. >> heather: thank you. you can catch brenda every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news. >> gregg: and winning the lottery! that will help you regain your wealth. >> heather: you have to by a ticket, you know. >> gregg: there is no money to boy the ticket, i have teenagers. >> heather: you are the a.t.m. >> high school students learning about construction from the ground up building a three bedroom home in western oregon

want to stay but they are getting more concerned. >> heather: thank you, dominic . >> gregg: you could say the white house is awash in scandals including the i.r.s. targeting of conservative groups and the justice department spying on journalists and, of course, the upfloor oft beach gaza terror attacks. all of this could dominate the second term and consume his presidency? we will bring in our political insiders. john leboutillier, former republican congressman for new york. doug schoen is a fox news contributor and former pollster for bill clinton. pat caddell joins us from a remote camera, a former pollster for president jimmy carter. gentleman, good to have you back here. what struck me is that president obama's approval ratings have tanked. he now is underwater. his disapproval rating now exceeds the approval and in one

month he has lost seven points, a seven-point swing. >> this is serious. the president has taken whatever comfort you can take from the fact that he has not suffered, the approval has been between 47 percent and 48 percent and 50 percent but what the white house is trying to argue is the scandals involved other people, not the president, other armies, not him. given as you suggested correctly the mushrooming of the scandals, the president now is very, very worried. the numbers reflect that. >> gregg: pat, in all three scandals, the vast majority of people who were likely intimately involved behind-the-scenes have fought been interviewed yet so is this thing going to really spread? >> yes, it is going to spread a lot. you are right, no one in the white house involved have been questioned. look, the real challenge for the

opposition, the republicans, will be whether they can mount a strategic narrative. washington is wrong when it says all the wise guys say people don't care. they do care. they are following it. but they need it explained. that is what is missing. >> what about republicans? >>guest: following on what pat just said, we have new polls showing for the first time since election day republicans are leading on every issue over the democrats. that is the scandal drive down the democrats not just driving obama down but driving republicans up a bit. i agree with pat, that now is the time for the republicans to frame the three scandals into a narrative. i know what it is: the obama administration uses government power to go after people who disagree with it, whether they are reporters, conservatives, whatever, they will do anything to discredit their enemies. that is an ugly reality. >> gregg: the i.r.s. scandal

angers members more than anything else because they already fear the i.r.s. but look at this poll, a new fox news poll, more than two-thirds feel that government is threatening basic civil liberties and out of control. is this the scandal that has the most legs? could this turn into something that consumes the obama administration? >> yes is the direct answer. a couple of reasons. as you suggest, most people say, well they did it to conservative groups, the tea party, they can do it to us and how extensive is it? that is point one. point two, though, people think their ordinary day-to-day life could be impacted by the scandals in the way that rampant i.r.s. corruption could. bottom line, it could hurt and continue to hurt the president. >> gregg: it is not just the tea party groups but we hear from a whole host of other conservative groups, even

religious group whose dared to challenge the president and his policies. is this going to embold were more people to come forward? >> sure. they are already coming forward. it is big government is a threat. big government is at its worse. this ties to real people's ties and goes directly to obamacare and should they endorse it and why do they? the question about overregulation goes right to jobs and how they are targeting job creators. that is what really is important. >> gregg: it appears some of the folks at the i.r.s. have ultimate step contempt for congress. here is now the foam -- former i.r.s. commission. >> there could be many reasons you would be at the white house.

what would be some of the ropes you would be at the white house? >> easter egg roll with my kids. grigg greg that is insulting and indifferent response. >> he has been to the white house according to the visitor log, 158 visits to the white house. under bush, eight years, one visit. congress needs to find out why are you going all the time to the white house, what is being discussed. going along with that is something that pat and doug and i have been fixated on, the workers union head of the i.r.s. had a meeting with the president on march 31, 2010, according to the white house visitors log and the next day they began the campaign in the i.r.s. against the tea party groups. what went on when the president met with this woman in >>

gregg: pat? >> it is all right for my children to believe in 9 tooth fairy, he met 3 1/2 times more than hillary clinton with president obama and 3 1/2 types more than geithner and 2 1/2 times more than john mitchell and holder. what was he doing in who did he see? the chief staff, who was he meeting with? you have to be a fool to believe a head of an agency that is separate is meeting in the white house and not doing politics. >> gregg: most machines think it is not just the i.r.s. that is coming after them, they think other government agencies targeting conservative groups. look at that. >> given what we have learned how expansive the i.r.s. investigations or targeting has been, the men membership --

american people are not wrong. they are fear will of government. what they want to know, what can you do to change things? >> gregg: this could speak volumes in this hole how americans are feeling about everything going on, the direction of the united states, wrong transaction, 30 percent. john, wrong direction, 61 percent? right track only 30 percent. >> we have a sluggish economic recovery, at best. the mood is still sour and tentative which feeds into their cynicism about the scandals. when the economy is doing great, like bill clinton had, when the lewinsky thing happened he survived in part because the economy was so good. >> gregg: should a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the i.r.s. with machines speaking resoundingly about that but people on capitol hill are not listening.

look at this latest poll, a huge amount of americans, 76 percent, say, yes, appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the i.r.s. you know that holder is already launching a criminal investigation but he is so close to the president he is arguably bias. back with our political insiders , john leboutillier, doug schoen, and pat caddell. how do they feel on capitol hill about this? dow jones industrial average -- doug: on capitol hill they see an attorney general wounded, they smell blood and do not want to give up their power. the republicans do not want a special prosecutor. the democrats from the other perspective saw what happened with whitewater and bill clinton. you have a disconnect. it is between the american people wanting something and people on capitol hill for their own reasons rejecting it. >> gregg: a congressional

committee does not have prosecution powers or the power to grant immunity or have the power to fine and dig up all the criminal evidence and threat of indocument. so, isn't a congressional committee by compare -- comparison, impotent? >> not necessarily. in watergate we had the hearing going on, the select committee on watergate, at the same time the special prosecutor appointed by the judge was in operation. so, all that was happening simultaneously. you can work this out. you need to do both. the public needs to know what is happening and who was doing it. >> the other dirty secret, congress people do not want to give up their tv time. having the hearings, they get on there, i learned they call them "hearings" because we have to "hear" the congress people expound.

>> gregg: they give long speeches instead. there is never a question. >> the other bad thing about a special prosecutor if one is appointed and there is no law to govern that, but if they had a special prosecutor, all that information, the subpoenaed witnesses, everything, goes into a black hole and it would run past the 2014 mid-term election and they don't want that. >> gregg: now, holder. can he hold on? should holder resign? 42 percent say he should. 24 percent disagree. and 34 percent say, who? what? his job performance, disapproval far exceeds the approval rating. can he hold on? >> in the short-term. gregg, he is getting to be a millstone around the neck of the white house. the president doesn't want to fire him, they are close personally, and holder carried his water but it would not be

bad if holder decided it was best to move back to the private sector. the white house new is determining whether it is worth sending the signals out that hold are may want to consider that. >> gregg: pat, how is benghazi impacting hillary clinton in look at this poll. a last folks are blaming her for not being there to accept the late night phone call she promised if elected president. and 15 point swing in her favorability rating. they have taken a nose dive. what do you make of that? >> she is being hurt. remember, we have only skimmed the surface of benghazi much the major questions, and this is why the select committees are so important, whether you have a special prosecutor in the i.r.s. case. we don't know, for instance, we have fought heard from any of the evacuees. we do not know what the president did that night. we also do not know most

importantly who -- where did the fantasy video talking points, who provided them that the president and hillary clinton used for two weeks. the damage is done on all of these. >> gregg: thank you, guys, political insiders, you can catch them every monday at 10:30 a.m. eastern. they will be back here, of course, next sunday, and you can follow them on twitter. and i hok i would ever quit.

without calories which increases the risk for diabetes which, obviously, we would like to avoid. >> heather: and the element that is in artificial sweeters, so which is better sugar or the artificial sweetner? which is better? >> guest: for every can of soda there are eight teaspoons of sugar which are 130 calories so if you want carbonation with your pizza and you have three or four cans of soda it is 300 or 400 calories and that can cause diabetes packing on the weight. >> gregg: i look at the labels, they tell you everything from sodium which is important to pay attention to, to the calories themselves, right. that is key. what about high sodium?

but it seemed like the soda had a lot. >> guest: you should only have two teaspoons of sodium, not very much. we have to look at that. >> heather: we talking about sodas but there is sugar in fruit juice, as well, right? and it is naturally occurring sugar. what about that? >> guest: everything in moderation. do not overdo anything. the study is saying when artificial sweetners are taken and sugars taken after, for example, you have your coffee with your splenda and then a muffin, you have higher blood sure and higher insulin. >> gregg: high truck -- frucose corn syrup? >> guest: get rid of it. >> heather: when you talk diabetes and the risk it comes to life-style choice.

>> guest: it is not what you eat but if you do not exercise and genes are involved, so a number of things. this is just one aspect you might be able to reduce. i am not willing to get rid of my artificial sweetner at this time. >> heather: is there one that is better than another? >> guest: that is controversial. >> gregg: and exercise is key? >> guest: absolutely. exercise. >> gregg: just got off the machines before work. >> heather: we figured out we like, i don't drink a lot of soda, i do water, primarily, but we have a favorite soda, black cherry. love it. like drinking dessert. >> gregg: doctor, thank you. now a look at the radar system we are following a storm system that is down in the gulf of mexico area and this may not help into a hurricane the last time we talked to janice dean
