"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >>gretchen: good morning everybody. hope you're going to have a great thursday. let's get to that fox news alert. michael jackson's teen daughter paris alive recovering in the hospital after a possible suicide attempt. >> good morning. this is a serious suicide attempt and not just a cry for help. paris jackson, the daughter of the late pop star michael jackson, is recovering in the hospital this morning after trying to take her own life. listen. >> overdose. >> tmz is reporting the

teenager called a suicide hot line and then left a note behind before overdosing on motrin pills and apparently cutting herself with a meat cleaver. just 24 hours before she posted this makeup tutorial video on youtube. >> i'm going to be experimenting with makeup. those who know me are pretty familiar with me and my eye makeup. >> hours before she tweeted the lyrics to a beatles song "yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away." there is a motive. apparently upset about not being allowed to go to a marilyn manson concert. sources say she is nervous about testifying in the legal show down over her father's death. her family has pretty much stayed silent over this releasing one statement saying -- quote -- "being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. it is difficult when you

lose the person closest to you. paris is fine and getting appropriate medical attention. please respect her privacy and the family's privacy." this all happening a week before the fourth anniversary of her fathering's death on june 25. sad news to bring you this morning. >>gretchen: heather, thanks so much. other breaking news in philadelphia where crews are frantically searching a flat building. six people have died but overnight a miracle. fire fighters did pull a woman out alive. the 61-year-old alert and talking after being trapped for 13 hours. >> this is still an active search and rescue site. our forces have been diligent. they are determined. and if anyone else is in that building, they will find them. >> moments ago we learned the contractor and crane operator hired to demolish the building have criminal records. the contractor pleaded guilty to theft and insurance fraud. he also owes thousands in

nashville. >> video of the year, carrie underwood. [applause] ♪ ♪ >>gretchen: carrie underwood taking home the top honor video of the year. she performed an emotional tribute to the tornado victims in oklahoma. ♪ ♪ >>gretchen: miranda lambert tied florida-georgia line with the most trophies. she won female video of the year and performance of the year. >>brian: how do you separate the award shows? >>gretchen: i was confused as i was reading the awards. so many of them. >>steve: we've been telling you about this i.r.s. scandal. you know how they have been targeting the tea party.

well, until now we haven't known exactly who was involved. and in the beginning we heard from steve miller, who once upon a time was the director. we heard from lois lerner. this is low-level people. not true. now we're learning congressional investigators have talked to two people in the cincinnati office, and they have fingered a lawyer in washington, d.c. who has been giving them instructions. a fellow by the name of carter hull. >>gretchen: essentially we knew these people might talk. apparently they are upset with the fact thatre called rogs and that it was just all up to them to do this on their own. so one of those employees -- elizabeth hofacre -- here is part of her quote. i was essentially a front person because i had no autonomy to act without carter hull's influence or input. thus far carter hull has

had no comment. >>brian: carter hull was part of the rules protection for companies. i think it's important to know these underlings have feelings and pride in their work because the "wall street journal" exclusively got a look at these transcripts at which time the employee went on to say they were outraged. they were furious. it looked like lois lerner was putting it all on us. that is why they are coming out saying it came from washington. not necessarily the white house. came from washington. >>steve: what was carter hull, this washington, d.c.-based i.r.s. attorney doing? apparently after elizabeth hofacre got the request to investigate tea party organizations, she wanted to know what to ask them. carter hull started suggesting questions.

ask them this, ask them that and send them to me in washington, d.c. so i can share them. she thought it was ridiculous, overmanaging was overboard, asking for a transfer and got out of that department. there was one other fellow also in cincinnati involved. he was told by a local manager there in cincinnati, washington wants you to get some names of some tea party organizations. he started searching just the term tea party. after he got a couple. they said we want more. then he expanded it to include patriot and 912 until they got 40 cases. then he sent them to washington. >>brian: today they're going to focus on extravagant conventions, money they wasted, paid for out of our money. that should be interesting because two people were suspended for taking thousands of dollars of free food. >>gretchen: i think it's

emblematic of the fact that it's drip, drip with the story. a lot of people never believed it was just two rogue employees in cincinnati. it will be interesting to see if carter hull is going to eventually talk, because was it his whole idea? >>steve: one other thing about the i.r.s. thing and the big conferences we were talking about. apparently the i.r.s. can't find receipts that they need for some of the conferences, including the $4 million job. how funny is that? >>brian: it will be good because when they look to our returns they will be a lot more flexible and understanding. >>steve: i wonder if the i.r.s. keeps their receipts in a big shoe box like we do? >>gretchen: the national security administration doesn't have to look at receipts because they are going to look at your phone records instead. >>brian: just for verizon customers, and there is not many. 89 million -- >>gretchen: 121 million

in the first millions in earnings. >>brian: the n.s.a. has been looking at these calls. not the content but just the calls being made through a dynamic, sophisticated process. they have been collected. this is a major scoop for "the guardian" newspaper. they are looking at it now, bringing it forward. on a daily basis they have been tasked with getting these phone numbers and sending them in. >>gretchen: they have to go to the fisa court usually to be able to get the authority to be able to do this. usually there has to be some reasoning behind it. according to this report this would be the first time the court didn't specify which type of phone customers' records were being tracked and why. it would be both parties' phone numbers. and some of it was international. some of it was domestic. then it would also be -- we just -- the time but not the content of actually what you were discussing. >>brian: what's the point? associated press trying to verify, we're trying to

verify "the guardian" found this. what is the objective of getting these numbers and skhrebgting these numbers -- and collecting these numbers? are they terrorist calls? is there reason to be suspicious? or is this abuse of the patriot act? >>steve: it is probably an abuse of section 215 of the patriot act. >>brian: which reads? >>steve: it said you can go after people based on individual investigation. if somebody is looking at, we're going to follow this guy over this, you can go ahead and get the records. however, and people in washington, d.c., when they wake up this morning and read the paper and see this has been going on, they are going to be saying wait, this is a gigantic overreach by the federal government to do that because essentially big brother is spying on all of us. you have been rosened out there. >>brian: who are the people telling the i.r.s. to do this? who are the people telling the n.s.a. to do that? we don't know. >>gretchen: we're going to have all this to discuss and so much more throughout

the day. in the meantime the woman who led the american people about what happened in benghazi now is the president's top advisor on president's security. how that sitting with the forces? >>brian: the most anticipated event in any beauty pageant, but can you say goodbye to the bikini because they offend muslims? let's forget about that. listen to music. ♪

>>steve: she has been accused of embarrassing this nation and lying to americans about what happened when four of our heroes were murdered in benghazi on september 11 of last year, but the president just put susan rice in charge of our nation's security. >> i'm deeply grateful for your enduring confidence in

me. as you've outlined, we have vital opportunities to seize and ongoing challenges to confront. >>steve: so there she is, susan rice, our new national security advisor. former navy seal scott taylor joins us from virginia beach. scott, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >>steve: "the new york times" says this is -- quote -- "a defiant selection." i know you don't like it. why? >> well, let's face it. it is a slap in the face to the republicans, but really it's a slap in the face to the american people. on day one susan rice stepped into office with a lack of credibility for the media, for the international community and amongst the american people and their confidence. i can tell you right now in virginia we have over 800,000 vets and it is a slap in the face to veterans across america to have susan rice put in this

position. >>steve: she famously within the on the five sunday shows and essentially lied to the world about what happened in benghazi. she said it's all about that videotape. had she gone up for secretary of state which john kerry got, she would have had senate kweurgs. she is not going to wind up with confirmation here. instead she gets to sail into this new job without anybody asking her what happened that night. >> absolutely. i'm glad you used that word. you hear folks on these shows and they don't want to use the word "lie." it was a lie. one, she was complicit in that lie or two she was incompetent. and if she was incompetent, why are we giving her a promotion. the fact that th president has taken her out of any potential for senate kweurlgs -- confirmation, you've taken the people out of the process too. now the president circumvented that and that

is a detriment to the american people. >>steve: when she dropped out of the con firmation process for secretary of state she said -- quote -- "i didn't want to see a process that was very disruptive." as a former military guy, you say getting her promoted to this job reduces soldiers' confidence in our leadership. how so? >> because, of course, you had this coverup after benghazi and a standdown and you were not allowed to have troops go in at a time of need. that goes against theeth those -- ethos of any military soldier. to have susan rice go on the talk shows and say it was based on a video when in fact they didn't allow the military cross-border authority to go in and help those in need, it is a wrong choice for america.

>>steve: we're not talking about an under secretary deputy at the usda or anything like this. this is the top national security person in the government who's got the president's ear. >> absolutely. and again, either, one, she was complicit in the lies or, two, she was incompetent. either way should disqualify her from this position. >>steve: scott taylor, former navy seal joins us today from beautiful virginia beach, virginia. thanks for your point of view. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. a major breakthrough in a story we've been following. one judge making an historic decision that might have just saved a ten-year-old from dying.

siegel. big break in the case. what should we take from it? >> first problem is kathleen sebelius is not a physician and she has been saying that from the beginning. i'm not qualified to say who should get a transplant and who shun. she -- and who shouldn't. she has the ability to approve this or create a pilot trial where children like sarah can be in this. i think it is amazing and wonderful the judge has come out like this. the technology is changing. the technology is different than it was a few years ago when this policy came into place. children can now get part of adult lungs. not entire lungs. we have the ability to do those kind of transplants. that makes it more important that children ben they're younger. statistics show they actually will do better than adolescents who have raeupbling hormones -- who have raging hormones to deal with. cystic fibrosis also is

very, very deadly. and it looks like without this transplant she's not going to live more than a couple weeks. >>gretchen: is this a case of bureaucracy following very far behind technology? if it's so apparent that technology has come up to speed and kids can survive with adult lungs, why are the bureaucrats seem to be holding back? >> you've said why. that was extremely well said. i think they are holding back because they have some rule to hide behind. that is what makes them bureaucrats. if you talk experts in lung transplants off the record, they would tell you this should happen. to use as an argument there are other children with this problem, how are you going to choose who should go first? that is the problem with the list to begin with. they should be on the list. one thing i want to point out about cystic fibrosis because there is only 100 to 200 transplants a year

of c.f., it is a very, very difficult disease and there are other organs involved including the pancreas and live and she is still going to have problems with this. but without this there is nothing. >>brian: is sarah going to live because she got publicitybhgbn$$s

press. in essence, saying the reporter is doing his or her job and a very important job is somehow branded a criminal, i am not comfortable with that. >> you branded him criminal. you wrote up the request to be judged. is he in front of us having bipolar disorder that can be diagnosed. >> was that the question, the follow-up question after he said that? >> he said he is going to change his own behavior. >> it is a little too late. it is hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube. this is indicative of -- >> at my house, we have gone to the pump. it makes it impossible. we are a pump house. >> i bet you are. meanwhile, when you look at this scandal and all the scandals that we are talking about and you realize, wait a minute, we were promised a really transparent administration, we didn't get it. just to kind of flashback, here is the president back in 2009. >> the way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable.

the way to make government accountable is to make it transparent so that the american people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they are being made and whether their interests are being well-served. let me say it as simply as i can, transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency. >> some people would say it has been totally the opposite when you are looking into the irs situation, the one we just discussed with the attorney general. the epa may be involved in targeting some conservative groups. the president said he was going to change washington. it was going to be run like never before. some people are saying, yeah, but not in the way they expected. >> the polls show people trust him but they are losing faith in his administration. it doesn't stick on the president. it sticks on the people he put in place. >> here is a problem for the president in the polls, brand new wall street journal poll. shows he has a 48% approval rating. but here is the bad sign, with independents, it is only 28. the number is going down.

things at my age let's get back to susan rice. does this appointment to the nsa chief take her out from ever having to testify about benghazi and what she knew? >> well, no. it takes her out from having to testify about conversations she has with the president in the white house going forward. those would be conversations classically protected by executive privilege. the president is talking about a national security issue with his national security adviser. she cannot be compelled to testify about that. they do not insulate her from having to testify about what happened in the past. she could still be summoned before the house or summit, put under oath and compelled to say, who gave you those talking points, how is it that you gave this false story to chris wallace on fox news sunday and four other talk shows. >> why hasn't she been called? >> that's a good question. it is probably a political question. why the house of representatives, in which the republicans have subpoena power

and about which they have been in my view quite justly and properly animated over this, have not called her. she is either a dope or a dupe. it appears in this instance that she was a dupe, that she did not know the truth, that someone told her what to say and she said it anyway. do we want a person like that as the president's chief national security adviser who talks to him every day? >> you took the question right out of my mouth. if she was duped on this and she was called an expert on foreign policy and national security yesterday by the people supporting her, if she is such an expert, would she not have known she was being duped? >> you know, only she will know the answer to that. there is no question but that she is an expert on international affairs and national security. her adult life has been devoted to it. is her loyalty to the president and his political cause going to blind her independent judgment as it apparently did when she

went on those five talk shows and substantially and materially misrepresented to the nation what happened. >> what about tom donealyn. he is the gentleman leaving the nsa post. can he be brought back to testify about benghazi? >> i would think the president will invoke executive privilege. when he spoke as the national security adviser, that's classically speech that cannot be inquired about. national security is the subject matter and nobody else is there. >> very interesting. all right. judge, have a fantastic day. lots of cake and ice-cream when you come back. >> i'll be up there in a few hours. thank you so much. coming up on the show, the irs owes billions in back payments to the state of virginia. billions. is it any coincidence the state is run by a republican suing over obama care? could there be a connection? 20 baseball players about to be banned for steroid use. a perspective you won't hear

customers. it was granted in a top secret court order from the court known as the fisa court. it calls for verizon to give up information on calls made in the u.s. and between the u.s. and other countries on an ongoing daily basis. they weren't listening to the calls, but recording who you were calling. >> steve: call detail. >> gretchen: another fox news alert. philadelphia searchers are looking for survivors buried under a collapsed building. six people died. but overnight, a miracle. firefighters did pull a woman out alive. the 61-year-old alert and talking after being trapped for 13 hours. >> this is still an active search and rescue site. our forces have been diligent. they are determined and if anyone else is in that building, they will find them. >> gretchen: moments ago, we learned the contractor, crane operator as well hired to demolish that building, have criminal records. they pleaded guilty to theft and insurance fraud and owes unpaid

business taxes. a horrible story. this couple seen here, they hosted a self-help radio show in new york city. they're dead this morning. they took their own lives. lynn rosen and husband john, they hosted a show called "the pursuit of happiness." they left behind suicide notes details rosen's battle with bipolar disorder. a rhode island reporter covering the news becomes the story herself. >> 16-year-old turned himself in. you going to throw rocks? >> gretchen: that's exactly what this mother of a shooting victim did. she then grabbed a about the and began waving it as they turned to leave, the woman told her two pit bulls to attack them. the dogs were chasing the other reporter down the street, biting her. the cameraman was also injured. the woman has been charged with assault. those are your headlines. >> steve: oh, boy. meanwhile, michael jackson's teenage daughter, paris, still

in a hospital this morning after being rushed to the hospital in an attempt tarpley to commit suicide -- apparently to commit suicide. >> overdose, sheriff's responding. >> brian: paris jackson scheduled to testify this month in her father's wrongful death lawsuit. according to published reports, the pressure was just too much. human behavior expert joins us now. we're on the outside right now, but when you look at this situation, it's not too hard to see that this is a tremendous amount of stress this 15-year-old was under. >> yeah. this is not surprising at all because first thing is she's 15. so she goes through the typical teenage things that every teen-ager goes through. second, she lost her father. and third, most importantly, think of the trauma that she experienced witnessing her father dying. that's going to be a powerful memory that's going to stay with her. she's very alone. >> steve: sure. patrick, according to tmz, the

cops in l.a. are regarding it as a suicide attempt, but don't believe she was actually trying to kill herself. think say she was trying to get attention. and the reason they say that is she cut herself with a meat cleaver, but she also ate a bunch of motrin. who takes that to kill themselves? >> well, she may not have been thinking about the consequence, but obviously there is a cry for help. that's not unusual because what she needs most of all or above all is a really good support system. there was also reports she feels unloved. of course she does because there's a lot of fighting within the family. this is a really tough time for any teen-ager and she needs to have a really strong support system around her. >> brian: evidently she want to do get back in touch with her mom and the jackson family was against that. >> yeah. there has been fighting within the family and what happens is the family, instead of putting her first, think about themselves. you have to think about what's best for the child and what she needs. this is a 15-year-old girl who

lost her father, is trying to find a new parent, a new one by establishing relationship with her biological mother. the best thing everyone could do around her is support her and stop thinking about jealousy or insecurity and to give her what she needs, which is grounding, foundation, and most of all, a really strong routine. >> gretchen: many people thought maybe she was going to get that because obviously her upbringing quite possibly with michael jackson was not completely as most kids grow up. but this -- >> well, yeah, you raised a great point because raised growing up, she had to wear masks, she and her brothers, because michael jackson didn't want everyone to know what they actually looked like. so he wanted to keep them anonymous. now she's also entering the entertainment world. so she's got a lot of challenges. >> steve: sure. >> gretchen: certainly wasn't deemed normal by any stretch of the imagination. thank you so much for your analysis this morning. appreciate it. >> i've lost the audio. >> brian: we'll take that.

>> steve: perfect timing then. >> gretchen: let's tell you about susan rice because yesterday during this broadcast, it was revealed president obama was going to appoint her to be a new security national advisor. does she have the experience, is the question? tom donilon says he was going to leave the post, no doubt probably forced out, after being with the administration since the beginning. ed henry here at fox questioned jay carney, the president's spokesperson yesterday, about whether or not susan rice, in fact, does have the right experience, is she the exact right person for this job? >> you described her as one of the most qualified, experienced foreign policy experts in america. if that's the case, how did she get the information on benghazi so wrong five days after the attack? >> ed, i have welcomed the opportunity to correct the record, especially for some news outlets who persist in misrepresenting the facts. you have seen the so-called talking points. you have seen the testimony of the deputy director of the

c.i.a. you have seen the documents themselves that demonstrate that the central contested point that ambassador rice made on those sunday shows was drafted in the first instance and in every instance thereafter. >> why do various intelligence officials say, various testimony elsewhere, that they almost immediately knew that this was terror and if she's so experienced in these matters, why wouldn't she see that as they saw it? >> you're suggesting a senior member of the national security team should actually disagree with the assessments of the intelligence community provided by the c.i.a. -- because somebody on fox news said something -- >> at one point general petraeus said -- facts were changed so much, the c.i.a. director didn't think they were worth anything. >> brian: that was the key point. at the end of the day, general petraeus said why do we even bother putting these out? a lot of people saying ambassador rice has so many contacts, she could are found out in two seconds by talking to

her contemporary or counterpart in libya saying, listen, what is the real deal on the ground and the fact is, the president of libya came out and contradicted her on two of those shows, i believe, right after. >> gretchen: immediately he came up. >> brian: fuelly the same show. >> steve: he was on just the segment before. it is extraordinary. we heard from the e-mails that were released by the white house a couple of weeks ago that she was not -- susan rice was not involved in changing the talking points. it was hillary clinton's state department and it was the white house. susan rice simply having had the intel briefings, went out and told the lie. but as it turns out, she's not the only controversial new member of the president's national security team. once upon a time, remember in the beginning it was going to be a team of rivals? well, now it's a team of favors. so let's start with susan rice. she served as the assistant secretary of state under clinton, former senior policy advisor to kerry edwards and she

lied on television about what happened in benghazi. and for doing that, the president gave her this new job where she does not require senate approval and so she will not be asked under oath about what happened that night. >> gretchen: samantha powers is going to be taking -- this is rice's former job of u.n. ambassador. former pom advisor to the obama campaign. she was forced off the obama campaign, though, for calling hillary clinton a monster several years ago in an interview. national security council staff member, but she's now going to be taking over that former post of susan rice. >> brian: the other thing i find very disturbing, because i think as an american, you're pro-israel, she's talked about in 2002 on the record sound bites, forcing peace on the israelis, throwing money at the palestine, even if it, quote, alien ats rich jews.

>> steve: sure. she also took one for the team. she was out there campaigning not the president and senator obama turned president, but she called hillary a monster. she was barred from the campaign and now little pay back, she gets a job like former massachusetts senator john kerry who got the secretary of state job rather than susan rice who probably really wanted it. he was passed up during the first term for secretary of state, served as president obama's debate foil during the election, and one other note about samantha power, she is married to the man who we have detailed on this program before, one of president obama's czars, one of the many czars and a pal from law school. >> gretchen: i think one of the overarching questions over the last weeks is how will the media continue to follow these situations that we've been discussing on this show and throughout the day on fox? will they continue to ask the tough questions? last night rudy guiliani was on the hannity program and he had

this analysis. >> this is a guy that has had a press corps that bows down to him. that's how he became president. they were willing to push hillary clinton aside. not even look at lack of qualifications, things that other presidents get examined for, they basically ignored. he developed very bad habits. they believe they can get away with this. they can have a high level official take the fifth amendment. nothing is going to happen of the that's usually like a catastrophe. attorney general can tell congress, i gave a misleading, possibly false answer. i don't have to give you an explanation. they can appoint someone as national security advisor who gave an explanation on television. that's a disgrace. this is not just putting a finger in the eyes of republicans and conservatives. how about totally disrespectful to the people who lost lives there and their families. >> brian: the counter is this, donald rumsfeld and condoleeza rice were knocking heads all the time, colin powell and donald

rumsfeld and cheney were locking horns each time of the does it make for a better government when you're in from the same party, but don't agree on anything? as a president, i'd be better served when my two people that i respect so much are locking heads. this way i can come out with an argument where people aren't trying to please me. they're trying to serve the country. >> gretchen: you're getting all points of view which is important if you're the leader instead of yes people. >> steve: unfortunately now, this is the second term, we're stuck with b teamers and let's see what happens. >> gretchen: harsh. okay. have you checked your 401(k) this morning? you may be nervous after yesterday's surprise slide. charles gasparino says the other shoe might be about to drop. >> steve: he's watching himself on tv. >> brian: then, can your car do this? it sounds like a crash, and stops on its own of the the latest technology with car czar doug brownly.

>> gretchen: 17 minutes after the top of the hour. investors on edge after yesterday's surprise slide in the markets. the dow, nasdaq and s & p hitting their lowest level in a month. what does it mean for you and if

you have money in those markets, your 401(k), for example? let's ask "fox business" network's charles gasparino. >> i don't know anything. >> gretchen: you were chuckling 'cause i asked the $25 million question, which is why? >> listen, this just shows how little confidence the markets had in the real economy. it's all about ben bernanke printing money. we have a pretty interesting chart here that shows how the dow basically tracks the printing of money. printing of money is buying assets off the balance sheets of the banks. you confuse the banks with capital. look at that. dow correlates perfectly with that. the thinking in the market is the minute ben bernanke says enough, which he's starting to say. this economy will now reflect the economy. and guess what? no matter how good the president has touted unemployment, it's still in the minds of the market, pretty bad. who knows what it's going to be going forward with obamacare, higher taxes. this is still a problematic economy. now, the other thing is some people say the fed is hinting it

might cut back. but because the economy is so bad, it won't really cut back. >> gretchen: what did he say to give that hint? i know everyone is -- >> you want his exact words? along the lines of something like, at some point we're going to have to stop. >> gretchen: then suddenly -- >> the market says, oh, oh, you never know. could be tomorrow. >> gretchen: let me ask your expert opinion. should he continue printing money? >> if he does continue printing money, the market will go tohe d he has to cut back because here is the thing. all do you is print money and the economy just is based on sort of paper profits so to speak, that causes massive dislocations. we already have a bubble in the bond market. average people have put their money in the bond market to such an extent that that at some point is going to have to reverse because of low interest rates. so i'm just saying, he knows that when you print money, you create bubbles and economic dislocations. so he knows he's got to stop at some point. then the markets will reflect the economy, which i don't think is that good.

>> gretchen: and everyone watches his every word. >> every word. >> gretchen: also something -- >> and weighs his every word. >> gretchen: as we are this morning. charles, thanks so much. we'll check you out on the "fox business" network. coming up, the irs owes billions in back payments to the state of virginia. is it a coincidence then the state is run by a republican suing over obamacare? could there be a connection? his dad is a music legend, the son of johnny cash with a big announcement about his father. ♪ oh, but the fire went wild ♪ i fell in to a burning ring of fire ♪ g will it? no, not at all. how many of these can we do on our budget? more than you think. that didn't take very long, did it? summer's here, so are the savings. that's nice. post it. already did.

inside. so that is the update right now of the six dead, 14 pulled out of here alive. no new updates since just before midnight. and not lost on anybody here is the fact that all the fire department personnel, all the police officers, even all the people on the street here know that in every disaster around this country, it is the salvation army that is always there with the hot cup of coffee, the cold glass of water, and all that comfort for disaster victims and now it is the salvation army that is the disaster victim itself here. >> steve: all right. steve live in philly, six killed, 13 injured. demolition gone horribly wrong. thank you. >> gretchen: the rest of your headlines. the irs owes a whole lot of money to the state of virginia. state attorney general says the irs is blocking the release of $125 million from the medicaid fraud settlement. so is it any coincidence, he's a

cognizant that he was there. could you describe that? >> oh, yeah. my father had a humility about his spirit, i think. and just as much as anything. it wasn't a boistrum, prideful energy. and yes, he had a magic about him and a mystery. he had a kindness. he had a darkness and a light all at the same time. that spirit endures in so many ways. to those who knew him, he was a very gentle man. he was not as dark of a character as we may think of as the man in black being. >> steve: that's right. in fact, we had the honor of interviewing your father right here on "fox & friends" back a number of years ago. today is d-day. we should point out that your father was in the air force for a period of time and after he left the air force -- >> high speed morse code interceptor. >> steve: is that right? >> yeah. he intercepted high speed morse code. >> steve: adequate good ear. >> stationed in germany. yeah. he had a great ear. it lasted through his life.

the postage stamp is a great blessing. >> brian: i understand you'll have a concert and doing a movement to preserve his boyhood home? >> yes. the concert actually, in celebration of the postage stamp occurred yesterday in nashville. had great friends there, from everybody from larry gatlin, to jamie johnson, marty stuart, my sister. it was a celebration of his life. yes, we're work on preserving dad's childhood home in arkansas and the family is, along with arkansas state university. it's a really great blessing. hopefully it will bring life and spirit back to that community. >> steve: i know it's a great honor for a family and great to have you here as well. john carter cash, joining us from nashville talking about the johnny cash stamp. thank you. >> yeah, thanks for having me. for more about what i do, go to

calls. it's called the my key system from ford and by the way, on this escape, this is one where you put your foot underneath the bumper and like that, the tailgate goes up and down. how cool is that? >> steve: let's go to honda. >> not all small cars are created equally. certainly none are as safe as this. this is the honda civic, it's got a top pick from a national rating service. one of the reasons is they used an ace body structure. look at this video because what happens in this car is that incredible crash. they take the energy and wrap it around the occupant and throw it to the back of the car to keep the driver safe. again, just 'cause it's small doesn't mean that it needs to be dangerous. honda accomplishing that. 90% of all hondas, by the way, built here in the u.s. how about a buick? you want to talk about safe, this car is absolutely cool. it's got a size blind system which means it will alert you, if someone will get in your blind spot up to 14 car lengths

away. so if a guy is speeding, the car will detect that and give an audio warning and check this out, it will vibrate the seat to let you know somebody is in your blind spot. that's from buick. it will be part of their safety sweep system. let's talk about volvo. of course known for safety. now putting a camera right here in the windshield and they're putting a radar right here in the front grill. why? because to help pedestrian and bicyclist avoidance system. if the car sees somebody on a bike or a pedestrian, the car will detect it and slow the car down and bring it to a stop! you don't even control it! the car will avoid hitting it. just how cool is that? as i toss back, hyundai is a new program out. the car will call for help if you need it. if the air bags go out and it's free for three years. we're in southern california. back to you. >> steve: that's fantastic. so doug, will you be there in southern california tomorrow on your birthday?

[ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] >> come on. >> steve: that's right. >> it is my birthday, yes. could that be true, steve? oh, my goodness gracious. thank you. that's very sweet. thank you. >> steve: doug, just be careful with the cake because when you blow out the candles, an air bag goes off. >> somebody gets called, i'm sure, like my doctor. thank you. thank you guys. you're very kind. >> steve: he's the best in the business. car czar, very nicely done and happy birthday to you. it's now ten minutes before the top of the hour. did you know the united states is fighting more than just the war on terror, as they used to call it? john stossel says the government is waging war on everything, including you, brian kilmeade. but first this day in history back in 1944, d-day, 155,000 american, british, french and canadian troops began landing on

the shores of normandy and france, which was under german occupation. d-day, 1944 today. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

♪ ♪ what is it good for ♪ absolutely nothing say it again ♪ >> brian: all right. the president pushing forward with his plan to end the united states war on terror. kinda. >> gretchen: john stossel says the government has plenty more wars on deck. we do. the american people aren't going to like that. >> well, they're already happening. you like some, the war on drugs. i like the war on pollution. but we also have the war on business when they hauled apple in there to yell at them for

doing what they all do and what congress caused with its insane tax code. and even the war on terror, we spent 44% of what the whole world spends on military. so other countries free load off of us. >> brian: why is it, john, that we always seem to be -- our government seems to be at war with something all the time? where is the friction coming from? >> if you're in power, you declare war and then you get resources. we're talking on fox about eric holder stay, who will be the head of the irs maybe. but government now employs 22 million people. so it doesn't matter who the new head of the irs will be. there still will be thousands of people in government. people are people. some will be evil and some will torture you in some way. so as long as it's this big and there's a war against food in new york and we have -- >> gretchen: you're scaring us with all this. >> good. >> gretchen: tell us about the food. >> well, we make fun of the

little stuff like bloomberg banning certain size drinks, but then the new big one will be genetically modified yorkenisms. did you want some people want to modify the genes of foods like this? you truth is, you think this is natural? selective breeding made this what it is. this used to be one 25th the size. genetic manipulations, even better, 'cause they could be precise about it. but the silly hayes stairics -- hysterics. >> brian: has that always been the case or do you think this is something new we're experiencing today? if we did the john stossel interview, 1961 in black and white and all smoking, would we be having the same thing? >> it began then, but if we go back to 1891, then government was the right size. >> gretchen: one thing is for sure, in 1961, you would have

still taken your bike to work. >> yeah. i choose to ride my bike. not to please the government's war on pollution. >> gretchen: if we want to check out more about the war -- is it the war with americans? >> it's the war on americans. >> gretchen: okay. get the right prepare position in there. -- prepareposition there. we'll check out your show on the "fox business" network. >> brian: what's your prop budget? >> it was expensive. >> brian: we used to have mini corns with the pilgrims and indians. they were this big. straight ahead, thanks, john. remember this fat cat? the union boss caught snoozing on the job? it turns out he's going to have a whole lot more time to sleep. he's got a new fitness video out. >> gretchen: oh, my gosh. breaking news overnight. the nsa collecting phone records of millions of americans. michelle malkin here with the details

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. today is june 6. i hope you're gonna have a fantastic day. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time with us. while you were sleeping, top secret information leaked from the nsa and what it shows is stunning. the spy agency has been secretly tracking phone records from millions of everyday americans for months. >> steve: meanwhile, who in the irs gave the orders to target these tea party groups? we now know a name. the first name has surfaced. we've got it for you this morning. >> brian: listen to this, michael jackson's daughter still alive this morning after a suicide attempt. >> overdose. >> brian: brand-new information this morning on what happened

and why. "fox & friends" final hour as far as we know, starts now. >> gretchen: it's going to the dogs here today because we're going to have some dogs. look at those little obstacle courses being set up for some purina pups out there later on today at the end of our show. >> steve: it's the incredible dog challenge and doggy obstacle course. they've been coming by "fox & friends," purina a for many, many years. you can see one of the dogs going through the paces. >> brian: no dog has ever completed one of these alive. they all -- none survived. >> steve: there is a treat at the end. >> brian: history has been made. >> steve: this is the canine version of battle of the super stars. >> brian: right. with robert conrad. those were fantastic. >> steve: o. j. simpson simpson was in those. >> brian: i didn't focus on him.

>> steve: you were focusing on robert conrad? >> gretchen: are you having a conversation? >> brian: do you remember "battle of the network stars"? >> gretchen: yes, i do. >> brian: that was pure sports. >> gretchen: now we got to do news. fox news alert, michael jackson's daughter still alive this morning after she tried to kill herself. now the breaking details on how paris is doing this morning. >> good morning to you. the very sad story to tell you about. she is still in the hospital this morning. 15-year-old paris jackson, she's the daughter of the late pop star michael jackson, recovering in the hospital after trying to take her own life. listen to the call that went in as an emergency crew was dispatched to her home. >> she overdosed. >> tmz is reporting this morning that the teen-ager apparently called a suicide hot line and then left a note before overdosing on motrin and cutting herself with a meat cleaver. cops in los angeles say they

believe her intent was not to kill herself and say it was a cry for help. she reportedly was unconscious when emt's arrived and did not argue or put up any sort of struggle with them when she was placed on a stretcher. a short while ago on "fox & friends," human behavior expert weighed in. listen to this. >> she may not have been thinking about the consequences, but obviously there is a cry out for help. that's not unusual because what she needs most of all, there was a report she feels unloved. of course she does because there is a lot of fighting within the family. this is a really tough time for any teen-ager and she needs to have a really strong support system around her. >> tough time for any teen-ager, let alone her because of her father's death certainly. 24 hours before the incident, she posted this make-up tutorial on youtube. take a look. >> i'm going to be experimenting with make-up. to those who know me, are pretty familiar with me. my eye make-up.

>> she also tweeted the lyrics to a beatles song last evening, saying yesterday, all my troubles seemed to far away. now it looks as though they're here to stay. there are new reports out today revealing that she was apparently upset about not being allowed to go to a maralyn manson concert. they say she's nervous about testifying in the legal showdown about her father's death. her family has stayed silent, but said, quote, being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. it's especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. paris is physically fine and getting appropriate medical attention. please respect her privacy and her family's privacy. this all coming just weeks before the fourth anniversary of her father's death. that was on june 25. we'll keep you posted on any developments. >> gretchen: thanks very much. >> steve: wouldn't it be crazy if this was all about not being allowed by the jackson family to go to that marilyn manson concert? >> gretchen: i doubt it.

>> brian: steve, you had a suggestion. >> gretchen: no. >> brian: you want to share it? >> steve: probably not. >> gretchen: no. i have a feeling she's had a little bit of an unusual upbringing and just more -- >> brian: we've seen some of it. >> steve: when your brother's name is blanket. >> gretchen: and forced to wear a mask, there could be a few problems along the way. another fox news alert now. this from philadelphia where searchers are searching for people buried under a collapsed building. they've been searching since early yesterday. so far six people died. overnight a miracle, firefighters pulled a woman out alive. the 61-year-old alert and talking after being trapped for 13 hours. >> an active search and rescue site. our forces have been diligent. they are determined and if anyone else is in that building, they will find them. >> gretchen: the collapsed building, the former home of the local salvation army. we used the company hired to demolish the building have criminal records. the contractor pleaded guilty to theft and insurance fraud and

also owes thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. a couple who hosted a self-help radio show dead this morning. they took their own lives. lynn rosen and her husband, john lidding hosted a show called "the pursuit of happiness" in new york city. they left behind suicide notes details the battle with bipolar disorder. new developments in the irs scandal timberwolf irs employees being put on leave for accepting $1,100 in free food and gifts at a party in 2010. that's why we're showing you this video, because it was the same party where the line dancing was filmed. a congressional source says the workers were on a team tasked with enforcing the obamacare overhaul. today lawmakers holding a hearing to find out why the irs, just why did they spend $50 million on conferences? >> steve: because they could. >> brian: yeah. you got the epa as well, has their man caves in the basement and huge gyms. >> steve: government. >> brian: it's amazing. >> steve: running amuck.

>> brian: and reading a paper during this time? the country is out of money, the people are out of work and they're line dancing with sprained ankles. >> steve: happy days at the irs, until now. >> gretchen: all right. and i'll finish out the headlines. >> brian: oh, i thought you were done. >> gretchen: no, it's okay. that's what you call the gallery. >> brian: we should get that sponsored. >> steve: we're just talking. >> gretchen: country queen miranda lambert and carrie underwood dominating the cmt music awards last night in nashville. check it out. >> and the award goes to, for video of the year, carrie underwood. >> gretchen: wow. fantastic. carrie underwood taking home the top honor, video of the year. during the show, she performed a tribute to the tornado victims in moore, oklahoma. ♪ i'll see you again whoa this is not where it ends ♪

i'll carry you with me oh ♪ 'til i see you again ♪ >> gretchen: mayor randa lamb -- miranda lambert won two awards as well. and now that is your headlines and on to more talk. >> steve: let's talk a little bit with michelle malkin who joins us every thursday at this time from colorado springs. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> steve: so many scandals to choose from. let's focus in on the irs. we wonder who exactly -- we heard it was low level people at the cincinnati office. well, now -- >> brian: the low level people are talking. >> steve: 'cause they are angry that lois lerner threw them under the bus. now we understand that apparently a woman by the name of elizabeth hoff a ker was asked to look for some groups, she wanted to know what to ask them and so she turned to a fellow in washington, d.c., an irs lawyer named carter hall and

he is the first person we know of who was overseeing the targeting of conservative groups. >> right. i don't think they're doing the line dance back there at irs headquarters, probably more like the dc shake 'cause oh, oh, lois, looks like the rogue employees in cincinnati are going even more rogue by singing and naming carter hall. the question now is, who was carter hall's boss at the eo office? what links, if any, were there between the lawyers at the irs headquarters and the e.o. department and lawyers in the white house? >> brian: let's give think quote i was essentially a front person because i had no autonomy and no authority to act on applications without carter hall's influence or input. as we work our way up the ladder, i keep going back to the sunday shows when axelrod and plo uffe said no one would be

this dumb or this stupid to do something like this politically. >> steve: in the administration. >> brian: saying, you know how smart we are. we wouldn't be this clumsy or dumb to do this. where is this heading, though, michelle? >> up and up and up and up, up to the top of the trash heap, of course. and i think what's eerie but not surprising is the same refrain that these top democratic operatives and tools are singing is the same refrain we heard during the clinton era. i recall, because it was such a definitive moment for the corrupt clinton administration that mike mccurry said the same thing. we're not that stupid! we wouldn't do anything like that! i think what it is is arrogance and hubris and thinking the rank and file employees that are being thrown under the bus here were just going to sit back and take it. >> gretchen: yeah. or that enough time would pass by and the media would lose interest in the story ostensibly. let's move on to another huge

story that was breaking overnight. the nsa secretly collecting the phone records of millions of americans. we're not exactly sure why it's only verizon. but apparently they went to the foreign international court where you need to go to get these types of subpoenas. both parties' phone numbers were given, location data, call duration. not the actual content of the phone calls. should americans be fearful of this this morning? >> yes. and i would urge everyone to go to my web site at michellemalkin.com because i spent a lot of time last night. this is a topic i've been reporting on for years. and i defended the nsa program under the bush administration. it started out as something called a special collections program. i think the genesis and the history of how it began is important and what it's evolved into and morphed into under the obama administration 'cause these are two very different

programs rooted in two very different agendas, i believe. remember that during the bush years, he was very committed to the war on terror and in the years when all of the left wing civil rights absolutists were going bananas once these leaks came out about what he was doing, they pretty much treated him as if he was an international human rights criminal for doing it. but it was very much more circum scribe and he was committed to doing this with the goal of stopping and preventing future terrorist attacks. >> brian: do you understand the goal here? i don't get the goal here. >> no. >> brian: how could you handle 121 million customers? >> gretchen: why only verizon? >> we don't know. >> steve: it's probable lea all the companies. >> yeah. we don't know that it's just verizon. what we know is that somebody leaked this top secret classified information about verizon. i'm not going to jump on the nsa bashing band wagon right away. but what i want to emphasize

here is that under what the obama administration has done is massively more expansive than what bush did because bush was concerned with overseas phone calls originating from america to remote places in afghanistan. in fact, under his program, they actually uncovered a terrorist plot. the question here with the obama administration is if he has declared the war on terror over, what the heck is he doing with it? >> gretchen: i was just going to say that, if there is no war on terror -- >> brian: i was very shocked to find out a news report this morning that the nsa was monitoring 121 million customers phone calls. >> i heard about it on talk news! that's right. that and the blame bush card, of course. >> steve: we're all being rosened, as it turns out. michelle malkin joining us from colorado springs. thank you very much. always lively when you drop by. thank you. >> brian: she was with caravel last night. >> gretchen: it's a fact of life. we all get old.

how can you protect your home and your assets? and do you need power of attorney? fox news legal analyst bob massi next. how did being old factor intoth this hat can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

>> gretchen: welcome back. illness and aging part of life, of course. but there are plenty of ways to protect yourself personally and financially if you're ever unable to care for yourself. it's called a power of attorney. how do you set it up and how many types are there?

good thing we have fox news legal analyst, bob massi here today to break it all down. i want to start with, you really don't have to be old to set this stuff up. my husband and i have had this set up for years because you never know when something might happen to you. >> there are several type we'll talk about today. but one thing i want our viewers to understand, the power of attorney in general, gretchen, is something that's very abused and people don't understand you're giving a third party really power over you for many reasons. the first thing is what's a general power in that's basically where you're saying to somebody, you have the right to make certain things. you can sign bank accounts. you can sign papers. you can do certain things. depending upon the language in the power of attorney, the general power. a special power of attorney, for example, is this, like next week i'm coming to visit you in new york city. so let's assume that i want to do a closing on a house in las vegas. i could give you, gretchen, for example, a special power of attorney to have the right to sign the papers to close on a

piece of property. but the most important thing about those two things is always make sure you put an expiration date. don't let them go on forever. put a deadline on when they should expire. >> gretchen: okay. what is a durable power of attorney for health care? getting a little more complicated now. >> huge decision here. this is what you're saying. of course, among spouses, usually it's one another. you're saying to somebody, if i become incapable of making medical decisions for myself because a doctor has said the person can't make decisions, you are delegating that authority, saying to that physician, this person i have designated to make medical decisions for me, major medical decisions. now, the issue becomes what if you're not married? who is it you're going to delegate that to? very important decision. more importantly, gretchen, let that person know that you are delegating that authority. some people don't want that

decision. very important thing. >> gretchen: you can also put in things whether or not you want to be resuscitated and if you're brain dead. >> exactly. >> gretchen: number three, who prepares the documents when setting up a power of attorney? >> please don't go to an office supply store. please, and get this done. honest to god, i don't get it. seek a professional. it's not expensive to do. get some advice. get it done the right way, but don't run to an office supply store and do it yourself. too many legal consequences, or on-line. >> gretchen: we're look forward to mr. las vegas making his way to new york next week. >> yeah, it will be fun. thank you. >> gretchen: see you then. remember this union boss caught snoozing on the job? turns out he's going to have a whole lot more time to sleep. then have you seen the show "graceland"? it takes you inside the lives of undercover agents like the f.b.i we've got one of the stars coming up live next. hi, daniel. how can you get back pain relief that lasts up to 16 hours?

night. his challenger beating him 371 votes to 165. mr. kilmeade? >> i have a baby in my hands, i'm running for the door. >> brian: you remember him as the fireman and ladies' man who moved up the ranks to become a lieutenant on the show "rescue." dennis leery was there. now daniel is play ago head strong f.b.i. guy living among a group of undercover government agents in a beach house dubbed graceland, for example. >> hello. >> i'm sorry, paul. were you sleeping? >> should i come back later? >> you know, boss, that will be swell. >> no, no, no. >> time to rise and shine. >> brian: that's where we found him this morning of the we just got him up. he was positived to be on last hour. daniel is here with us.

welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> brian: i came out to watch you guys shoot a few years ago and i never saw a group of guys have more fun on the set. >> we had a blast. >> brian: was it like that, a family attitude? >> it really was. as soon as we got together, the cast gelled immediately. it certainly made the long shooting hours go faster. >> brian: you get this f.b.i. agent. what did you do to prepare for this? did you go arrest people? >> we didn't want to go -- we did want to go on ride alongs, but that wasn't part of what they offered us. we got to talk to the guy who was the head of the actual operational safe house that housed these agents from these different intelligence agencies. so he was a great source of research for us. we got to ask lots of questions. >> brian: so you have a mysterious event happening. you play the role of paul brig. now you're coming back and training people. tell us what the mysterious event is and blow the whole season. >> yeah, give the spoilers now. you set it up pretty well.

my co-star, aaron, in the pilot episode, you're introduced to him graduating from quantico and he thinks he's going to be a company man in dc, but he gets surprisingly reassigned out to this southern california beach house to train under my character, paul brigs and drama ensues over the course of the season. >> brian: there is surfing and beach. there is drama. >> there is. there is abs and bikinis. >> brian: the truth is, you do not surf. >> i do not. i didn't even pick it up during the course of shooting. most of the people that i know who try to do something like surfing or roller blader after the age much 30, always come back in a cast or sling. i'm like, i'm good. >> brian: i could pretend i did that. tell me, why graceland? where does the name come from? >> the drug lord that the house was seized from was a huge elvis fan. when the agents moved in, there was elvis memorabilia all over the place. the name serves as a double -- kind -- 'cause it's the only

place where the people who live lives can have some grace, some peace. so it's a sanctuary. >> brian: you're getting better and better, bigger and bigger. i'm going to ask you, do you do this for the fame? would you be an actor if it didn't pay much and there was no fame and glory involved? >> it is my genuine passion. the culture of celebrity, which is built around what we do, i mean, it's all well and good, but i would do it for a school teacher's salary. they should make what actors and athletes make. >> brian: because i believe that i only do this for the money. if they -- >> i'm not hating. i'm not hating. no judgment, man, no judgment. >> brian: okay. i'm only kidding. thanks so much. congratulations on "graceland." it premieres tonight 10:00 o'clock on usa. one hour less central time. good job. congratulations on the role. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. susan rice, who critic says lied about the benghazi attack got a big promotion. but it comes with an unexpected

>> gretchen: fox business alert for you. labor department releasing jobless numbers. 346,000 first-time unemployment claims were filed last week. that's less than the week before and a slight bit more than expected. >> brian: this story creating some controversy this morning. a 19-year-old broke both feet jumping off a roof in a dare. she missed the pool and now her mom wants you to pay for her daughter's medical bills. carey is in arizona. she's under fire after posting the video of the accident on-line. she's trying to raise $4,200 on-line. many commenters say they would not contribute a dime. we'll follow it. >> steve: meanwhile, follow this, no bikinis allowed going forward. the miss world pageant getting rid of the bikini part of the program. why? so muslims won't be offended. that's right. one group changing the entire world pageant for everybody

else. pageant being held in indonesia where a majority of locals are muslim. contestants also swap their two piece suits for more conservative outfits like sarongs. >> gretchen: sunday brunch more like happy hour for some babies. one couple say their three daughters were served champagne mimosas instead of orange juice at a restaurant in rochester, new york. they realized something was up when their 7-year-old said the juice tasted funny. the girls slept it off. it did appear hungover the next day. the restaurant apologized for the mix-up. >> brian: that's not going to cut it. let's talk about sports. major league baseball questioning 20 players abused of buying performance-enhancing drugs. alex rodriguez, former mvp, ryan brawn. reports suggesting the league is looking to suspend players allegedly involved. 100 games in some cases. the clinic owner has decided to

testify against a-rod after he refused to give him the cash he said he deserved. former pitching phenom joined us to talk about his new memoir. he came into the league in 1984. he had great promise. but drug and alcohol abuse stopped him from achieving his sustained success. gooden says he could not have shed the demons until he forgave himself. >> i used to beat myself up about expectations, other people's expectations for hall of fame, 300 wins, i decided to change my thoughts and give myself credit for the things i did do. >> brian: gooden's book is in stores right now. he credits dr. drew for getting him cured. check out this minor league meltdown. this guy manages the buffalo bisons and gets thrown out after fighting with the umps over the call. how does he take the ejection? he sits down on the field, refusing to get up. then he throws his helmet at one

of the umpires. what a great lesson for those would be future major leaguers. >> steve: just watch me, kids. >> brian: right. later he held his breath. >> gretchen: the government came under fire last month when we learned the department of justice had phone records belonging to journalists doing their jobses. if that isn't enough, new reports this morning reveal the national security agency has been secretly collecting the phone records of millions of everyday americans. joining us now, senator lindsey graham with his thoughts. what do you make of this, senator? is this a big deal for americans, millions and millions and millions of americans whose phone records were apparently given over to the government? should we all be concerned? >> i think we should be concerned about terrorists trying to infiltrate our country and attack us and trying to coordinate activities from overseas from within the country. you can't track people's phone calls. you have to have a reasonable belief that people you're monitoring in terms of

monitoring conversations are one of the persons involved in terrorism. so you're trying to data mine and find out these numbers that we know are in the hands of bad guys, who they're calling. once you find a match, you can monitor. but you just can't monitor people's phone calls. >> gretchen: does it seem unusual to you that this administration says they don't believe in the war on terror? >> yeah. it seems a bit unusual the war is over burks we're still trying to track the enemy. the president's speech was tone deaf. we're very much under threat. radical islam is on the rise throughout the region. home grown terrorism is one of my biggest concerns. it's happening in our own backyard. i'm glad the nsa is trying to find out what terrorists are up to, overseas and inside the country. >> steve: senator, i don't know about you, but i've got verizon. that means -- >> i do, too. >> steve: you and i and a lot of us here in the studio have been tracked by the nsa following all of our phone detail. apparently the program will expire on june 19 unless it's

renewed. why do you think somebody somewhere is leaking this to this u.k. newspaper so that we would know about it right now? >> that's a good question, but i'm a verizon customer. i don't mind verizon turning over records to the government if the government is going to make sure that they try to match up a known terrorist phone with somebody in the united states. i don't think you're talking to terrorists. i know you're not. i know i'm not. so we don't have anything to worry about. i'm glad the activity is going on, but it is limited to tracking people who are suspected to be terrorists and who they may be talking to. >> brian: are you sure? >> yes. >> brian: that's what is supposed to be. are you sure they're still doing that? >> yes, i'm sure that's what they're doing. >> brian: this is not new to you? >> gretchen: it's not the 100 million customers that the original report said. >> i'm sure we should be doing this. >> brian: okay, good. so you're not alarmed? >> no. >> brian: susan rice, national

security advisor to the president now, replacing tom donilon. your reaction? >> well, greg hicks, who told the system this was a terrorist attack and named the terrorist organization was demoted. the person who got on tv four, five days later and told the american people there was no coordinated terrorist attack. this was the result of a spontaneous riot caused by a hateful video, a complete misleading, untrue story, gets promoted. that's all you need to know about this administration. professional people doing their job, who do not tow the party line get demoted. people who tell the political story that the white house would like gets promoted. she's now the national security advisor. i will work with her where i can. but the world is falling apart. israel is surrounded by radical islamists. i don't know why he chose her, but her credibility is low with me and others. but we will work with her. >> gretchen: senator, let me ask you this because the judge earlier on the show, judge napolitano, said this appointment would not preclude

her from still having to testify about -- >> he's right. >> gretchen: so what happened that week before she gave the talking points on benghazi. let me ask you this: why has she not been called to come under oath to say to the american public who told her to give those talking points? >> this is a great question. we have subpoena power in the house. three things i want to know: why haven't we heard from any survivors? i've destroyed a small forest writing letters to the administration. please make the survivors of benghazi available so we can hear from them what really happened. they refused to do that. we don't know who was in the meeting on saturday before her sunday tv appearance that took the talking points that were very accurate and turned out to be a bunch of garbage. who was in that meeting? why did they decide what they did? let susan rice answers questions. why did you say the embassy consulate was substantially and strongly secured? why did you say al-qaeda was decimated? that's not part of anybody's talking points.

why has she not been called to answer for the misleading information she gave to the american people? finally, where was the president at during the night of the attack? why did he for two weeks write this off as a spontaneous video when there is no evidence to suggest that? benghazi is just beginning for me. it's not close to beginning over. >> steve: sure. she will -- susan rice will be the president's top advisor on national security issues. are you confident she's up to the job? >> she's got a good background in national security, but after benghazi, can i trust her? can you trust her? she's got to establish -- why would you pick somebody who is clearly in the eyes of many of us here, took a national security event and made it a political event seven weeks before the election? she was an empty vessel. they poured misinformation through. she needs to be held accountable for what she did. but it is the president's pick. we are at war. and israel is under the gun and we're under the gun. so yes, i will work with her. but we live if a world where to

do a job like greg hicks and tell the truth you get demoted and go on tv on five different shows and tell a story that's politically beneficial, not remotely connected to the facts, you know, you get promoted. one guy gets demoted. the other guy gets promoted. >> steve: lindsey graham, senator, and verizon customer, thank you for joining us. >> i'm not talking to terrorists either. >> steve: let's keep it that way. thank you. >> gretchen: major breakthrough in a story we've been following. a judge making a historic decision that may save the life of a ten-year-old little girl desperate for a lung transplant. her family's reaction coming up next. >> brian: and canines cutting loose. we've got some amazing dogs in our plaza. how amazing? this dog we just found as a stray and then suddenly trained him and look what he's able to do.

followed this story and done more on this family here join us with new developments. >> not good news. sad news this morning. we've been in touch with sharon rudding, sarah's aunt. she reports that they are looking forward to an intubation of sarah this morning, meaning where an airway would be inserted and she would breathe mechanically. unfortunately, there is a problem between the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange and it's making her totally impossible to breathe. we need prayers on this sad morning. wonderful development and hope for the family yesterday. a judge, federal district judge in philadelphia, based on a motion made by the family, said back off, katherine sebelius. put this young girl, sarah, ten years old, on the adult list to give her a fair opportunity to get the lung she needs to help her in her fight against cystic

fibrosis. >> steve: we should point out, this has not been about politics. someone says, that's about politics. it's not. it's about getting a child something that they need to stay alive. >> it's about fairness. it's about medicine. it's about the constitution. it's about the equal protection, the law. in this country, in 2011, the death rate for children waiting for transplants in america was 62%. for adults, it was the reverse of that number. 26%. so is that fair? should children die at a higher percentage than the adults? sarah's family is saying don't take sarah first. just take her in the proper line that she belongs and let her be scored in the same way based on her need, her sickness, her surviveability, all the parameters that adults have in the same way. and they're saying, this is not the america that we know that children go to the end of the line. they're saying, we need substantial fairness not only for sarah, but for all the

children who died over the past 18 months that sarah was waiting as well. there are other sarahs across america who have been put down by the system that we put in place and the federal government can't explain it. we need prayers and action on this day. we need to speak out as americans and we need to hold hands and hope for all good things for sarah and these children because we're not doing justice for them in this country. >> steve: let's hope and pray that a lung becomes available to her family as quickly as family. >> we will and keep everybody up to date. >> steve: peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: coming up, some of the most athletic pooches in the country are on the plaza about to face off. but first, somebody who saw them as he walked into the studio about two minutes ago, get ready for his show, is bill hemmer. >> they're good, too. >> steve: they are. >> they're good. they've got an advantage. they've got four legs. >> steve: they do. >> good morning to you. terrific show this morning. another day, another hearing about the irs. today the bosses are called onto
