the fife and drum guys are general ray's backup band? >>brian: possibly. you know what was a good move? not bringing the band to the battle field back in the day. let's play music and kill each other. now we just kill each other. >>gretchen: times have changed. it's time for headlines and we need to start with a fox news alert. overnight, nascar driver jason leffler has died after a dirt car crash in new jersey last night. his car flipped several times on the dirt oval track before hitting a wall. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. nascar says nascar extends its thoughts prayers and deepest sympathies to level level. he was a fierce kpet -- deepest sympathies to jason leffler. he won twice in a nationwide series and once in the camping world truck series. he leaves behind a five-year-old son.

>> the massive storm that pounded the midwest with twisters heading east at this hour. it is expected to turn into a rare derecho, an extremely powerful thunderstorm with winds up to 100 miles per hour. at least two businesses and a home were destroyed last night. this was in iowa, about 70 miles north of des moines. check out this incredible picture. this is chicago. you can see lightning striking the willis tower. overwhelmed with emotions, those words coming from sarah sarah murnaghan's mother. this morning the ten-year-old has a new set of lungs. she underwent a successful doublant. she has cystic fibrosis, was in desperate need of lung and she was two years to young to get on the adult organ list. after taking their fight to capitol hill the family learned late tuesday that new longs were on the way. >> you got something you want to announce on the show right now?

bruce springsteen's thunder road. those are your headlines. >>steve: edward snowden is on the run supposedly somewhere in hong kong. yesterday he did an interview with the south china morning post. >>brian: all he had to do was ask. >>steve: he wants to get the word out to the people in hong kong and china, i want to stay here because i want you to protect me as i fight the united states because, he says, i'm here not to hide from justice. i'm here to reveal criminality. so that suggests, although we don't know what future scoops he's going to give to glenn greenwald and company, but apparently he's got criminal activity that the united states government has engaged in. >>gretchen: i think other people are going to have other opinions about him because he's also releasing information now about the fact that the united states has been hacking into chinese institutions which many people would align with being a traitor instead of being a hero. he's saying that up to, let's see, there were

60,000 -- he's talking about chinese. this will be difficult for the united states to continue in their relationship with whatever that is, with china because of course the united states has been calling on china to stop hacking into the united states. >>steve: he's probably saying, look, we say, the united states says we don't do what we're actually doing. and china, don't extradite me because the united states has been hacking into your computers. >>brian: this high school dropout who had a job that was actually $122,000 says he's not a traitor. now we're supposed to believe his claims we've been hacking into chinese computers since 2009. that would endear him to the chinese government. that would possibly get him more days in hong kong and save him from extradition. although i wouldn't know this but people who worked in hong kong, have dealing with hong kong from the u.s. state department level

where people usually go to to affect our foreign policy say we have an incredible history of cooperation with the hong kong government. so his thoughts about going there, they believe, was a huge mistake if he looks to avoid extradition. we're still looking to find out how much damage he actually did. what we saw yesterday is some denials on the part of the n.s.a. that he had access like he claims. >>gretchen: senator susan collins, republican from maine, asked the head of the n.s.a. whether or not edward snowden is telling the truth when he said that, number one, he could be acting alone. but number two, he could have access to all the information he claims to have access to. alexander said i know of no way to do what he claims to have done. remember he said everything was at his finger tips. folks, this is why this story was not all there in the first day. that's why some people questioned whether or not he was really a hero, because it appears now that there's going to be more and more information coming out that maybe he didn't act alone and maybe he's not exactly completely

telling the truth. >>brian: you have another facet to him that is interesting too. either he's full of it or he isn't, and that's probably why the government was aggressively looking for him when he claimed he had epilepsy. >>steve: we have heard how could he possibly have had access to all these secrets where he could tap into the president's phone. keep in mind he was the systems administrator with this particular booze allen, and he had top secret clearance. about a month into his job at booz allen he said i don't feel good. i'm going to have to take time off. i've got epilepsy. he took time off and booz allen called him back and said when are you coming back and he said i'm going to need more time and then he disappeared. if he was a low-level guy, why was booz allen looking for him all over the place and then they alerted the united states government this guy is missing. >>brian: if you want someone to talk about this program in a forceful, direct way, you found him in my estimation in general allen yesterday -frpl he

came forward and talked about as much as he could without cutting the program at its knees. as said, it is clear the program as we know it, whether you like it, love it or hate it, has been compromised. listen. >> it's dozens of terrorist events that these have helped prevent. >> great harm has already been done by opening this up. and the consequence, i believe, is our security is jeopardized. >> there is no doubt in my mind that we will lose capabilities as a result of this and that not only the united states but those allies that we have helped will no longer be as safe as they were two weeks ago. >> if we tell the terrorists every way we're going to track them, they will get through and americans will die. >>gretchen: that was my question yesterday. is it so tough to try to figure out is it liberty or safety? after listening to that testimony, it emboldened

the feelings i had yesterday. this guy can't be a hero in my mind especially with more information coming out. the next time a terrorist attack happens on our soil, are we going to say that's because we jeopardized this program that was in place that had thwarted, as he testified yesterday, dozens of terrorist attacks? >>steve: love him or hate him, he has forced this debate in the country about our national surveillance. >>gretchen: and security. >>steve: absolutely. no doubt the government is trying to do everything they can to keep us secure, but are they actually exceeding the law. who gave the n.s.a. and the administration the authority to go this far over the line? according to james sensenbrenner, who is one of the guys who wrote the patriot act, he says that the n.s.a. has gone way past it. in fact, in particular, section 215 was drafted specifically to prevent data mining on the scale that we're seeing. and yet, that is what they're using the n.s.a. as for rationalization to

listen to everything. >>brian: they say it's amazing. the technology has pushed this program forward. five years ago we couldn't have dreamed of having the capacity to store anything let alone find things. the more data we give in, the better we get out. people say why are you using all this stuff? yet the people that work with the data say i can't believe how valuable this is. the question is, you look at general alexander, for me, i feel great. there is a guy in charge, will do anything to keep us safe. when you watch politicians being unable to find the truth or saying i didn't know or this program is beyond the stoep, that's when you say to yourself, who is in charge here? am i comfortable with that guy? >>steve: do you trust him? how much confidence do you have in the federal government? 5% say a great deal. 32% say a fair amount. not that much or not that will, 41%. 53% say you don't have faith in the federal government. a lot of people are saying we should probably stop

assuming everything the government does is legal. >>gretchen: i think benghazi is different from the government situation. they are different in the way they were targeted. we have another poll that shows those particular scandals. >>brian: put that poll up. that shows what you want us to pursue. >>gretchen: this isn't the one. >>steve: is this particular administration more transparent or less than previous administrations? right now about 40 partly cloudy of you say -- about 40% of you say same he is. 30% say less transparent and about a quarter of you say more transparent. >>gretchen: congress should continue to investigate? 78% i.r.s., 76% d.o.j. >>brian: where was the president yesterday? out in florida raising money. an interesting way to

handle a multitude of challenges, decisions and problems. he goes out, rolls up his sleeves and starts raising money. >>steve: he is the one guy we need to hear from. we need to hear why the government has expanded this program to the level they have, where they got the authority and whether it is legal. a busy morning here on "fox & friends." >>gretchen: coming up on the show, one proposal to solve the housing crisis. let the feds seize underwater homes. is that the answer? stuart varney says not so fast. he is on deck. >>brian: now fathers to be can feel their babies move right along with mom. >>steve: that's a little weird. happy birthday, u.s. army. 238 tomorrow. ♪ ♪ ♪

>>gretchen: nearly ten million homes across the united states are currently under water. but one scholar at the new york federal reserve says he has a solution to ease homeowners' debt using eminent domain to buy and restructure those mortgages. but is this the best way to help struggling homeowners? let's ask stuart varney. he's here to weigh in. i'm interested to hear your take on this, mr. varney.

>> let's do role playing. i'm the government. you are a homeowner. your mortgage is bigger than the value of your home, so i being the all-encompassing good-guy government, i say i'm taking your mortgage. >>gretchen: how dare you? >> no. you like this. i am seizing your mortgage. and i'm cutting the size of it. was it $100,000? we will make that $50,000. thank you very much. and i will then sell that new mortgage on the government, i'll sell that new mortgage to private investors. you get to stay in the home. you get to pay far less per month. you are a winner. and because you're a winner, you will vote for me. you will vote for me, the government politician. everybody wins except the people who own that mortgage right now. they are big losers. and probably the federal taxpayer who is going to have to subsidize this cut in the value of your mortgage. >>brian: i could see the taxpayer, but if the government buys your home, isn't the bank relieved

about that because the bank wasn't going to get their money any way. a lot of people walk away. >> but they will pay far less than the actual mortgage, the current mortgage is worth. the holder of that mortgage, whoever it is -- maybe it's the bank, maybe a private institution -- they lose big time. but the people who buy the new mortgage, they stand to make a lot of profit. what we're talking about here is the expression of government power. it is a proposal to use real government power to seize private property for private gain using government power. >>steve: you say that this would happen through eminent domain. historically a town might seize a parcel of land to build a road or something like that. they can't do this. >> what? >>steve: this sounds completely off the chart. >> i don't think it's completely off the chart. it is a proposal that's been made in california, chicago, and now in a paper by an academic to the new york fed. it is a proposal. >>steve: what are the odds of it happening? >> i think it's slim and

none, but it's not out of the question. >>gretchen: it depends on if the homeowner has said they're going to walk away from the deal? >> no. they're in the house, in trouble, under water. i'm the government. i'll take that mortgage and make you whole. stay right there, young lady. >>gretchen: you're a good politician. >>steve: he can't be president. he was born elsewhere. unless we change the rules. he's got the top job at fox business every morning at 9:20. we'll be watching. >>brian: unlike us, he needs a show after him. a little ego there.

falls out. nothing you can do by cutting your hair. >>brian: that transfers to the beard as well? >> absolutely. >>brian: the second question: drinking some coffee will sober you up if you had too many? dads say that. are they right? >> have a cup of coffee. doesn't work. it takes an hour to get rid of every drink of alcohol that you drink. you can take a little caffeine. it may stimulate you but it doesn't get rid of that alcohol. having water helps a lot because you get dehigh tkraoeuted when you drink too much. pwraoeup -- pwraoeup keep >>brian: keep cracking your knuckle and you'll get arthritis? >> you don't get arthritis from doing that. >>brian: how about this? tooth paste will cure that love bite? what are we talking about?

choice but to comply. the government doesn't like this. the government doesn't like having to go to the place where the records are kept. and the obama administration -- this is really over the top -- has proposed legislation that will put twitter, at&t, verizon, google, microsoft computers in f.b.i. offices so when the government gets one of these warrants, the federal agent can go to the google computer and get it. i can't imagine that legislation will pass in this environment. but the obama administration has proposed it. >>gretchen: i can imagine that these companies when they started never knew that they were going to be involved in all of this government activity on top of everything else. it's amazing transformation. >> i think you're probably right. >>gretchen: thanks so much for breaking it down. have a good weekend. pay one price and fly all you want. the deal that's not too good to be true. i've got to hear that one. coming up next, anna is going monster truck jamming; right, anna?

♪ dfw. >> gretchen: why is the drum corp. out here? it's the army's birthday tomorrow. of course, this is a way in which we honor the historical perspective of when it all began and how we are today with regard to our military service. we have a beautiful cake here that we'll be cutting up in just a couple of minutes. >> brian: first general washington, july 2, 1775, and the secretary of the army here today, general ordierno. >> steve: we've got a busy two hours straight ahead and we start with headlines.

>> gretchen: breaking news overnight. a racer died. his car flipped several times on the dirt track before hitting a wall. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. in a statement, nascar said they extend their thoughts and everyone suffer thees to the family. he was a fierce competitor and he will be missed. the 37-year-old driver made 423 nascar races. he leaves behind a five-year-old son. robert muller will face tough questions on the hill today. a house committee wants to know about the boston bombing, the nsa leaks and what happened in benghazi. it's coming on the heels of testimony about the terrorist attack. dempsey now disputing what gregory hicks told a house panel last month. he says troops were never told to stand down that night.

ambassador chris stevens and three other americans were killed. >> a stand down means don't do anything. they were told to -- that the mission they were asked to perform was not in benghazi, but was at tripoli airport. >> brian: when did they go there? nine hours later. >> gretchen: this comes as a new poll finds half of voters, 56%, think president obama didn't order troops to benghazi because he didn't want to risk something that would cost him the election. a happy outcome for a young girl that's been fighting for her life. sarah murnaghan has a new set of lungs. she he underwent a double lung transplant yesterday. we've been telling you about her battle. she was in desperate need of the lungs, but two years too young to get on the adult organ list. after taking their fight to capitol hill and the courts, they learned late tuesday that the new lungs were on the way. >> they were able to resize the adult lungs without any issue. it was a perfect fit for sarah

and the surgery is done and she's heading to recovery. we expect her to be doing some things within the next couple of days. >> gretchen: sarah should be able to go home in the next few weeks. surf is up. check out this video of chase riding his first wave. what a time to do it. the water calm, the weather beautiful. chase's dad took the incredible video. he rode alongside and lifted his boy up when the perfect wave passed by. at the moment, heal cherish it forever, especially with father's day coming up. let's talk about the nsa whistle blower. more questions about who he is exactly and maybe did he have some help and what were his true intentions? he's now given an interview to the south china morning post, not exactly sure why. he doesn't call himself a hero or traitor. he says he's an american. he also is revealing that the united states has been hacking into chinese institutions for

many years and around the world, as many as 61,000 of them. this is interesting because now he could be really considered a traitor for giving up that information about what the united states is doing. by the way, the u.s. has been calling on china to clamp down on hackers, so there is going to be a little conflict of interest. >> steve: i think the reason he has revealed that hey, china, the united states has been hacking into you for years. we say we don't do that, and we have accused you, china of doing it. but we do it as well. the reason he brings that up is because according to him, the united states is using bullying diplomatic techniques to try to get him extradited back. the united states would like him to face future criminal charges in this country, but he wants to fight it over there in hong kong. he says he is in constant fear for his safety and his family. he says he's not here to hide from justice, but to expose criminality, which is a preview of something really juicy. >> brian: yeah.

he's not a hero or traitor. he's an american. the interesting way to set foreign policy, he's a high school dropout, low level position within a private organization hired by the government. he feels as though our foreign policy isn't up to his standards. so he goes over to hong kong to try to right things. now he's going to do things to right the ship by telling china that we're hacking into their computers like we claim they are to us. when people who know this say there is nothing at all like this going on, the hacking is not at all equal to what china has been doing to us, including stealing some of our latest military technology. that's why they have that summit. keep in mind he gives an interview to cnn, to the reporter and they say he's been there since may 20. why did he give the interview after 2 1/2 weeks? he said, well, he wanted to do it on the eve of the summit or whenever they called it, to get to know you session in cal a. he's trying to affect foreign policy. he's got an inflated opinion on his impact on the world and his role in that world.

>> steve: it worked. >> brian: it worked in one respect. the more you find out about this guy, the more embarrassed i believe you will be to call him a hero. >> gretchen: i totally agree with you, brian. i feel horrible today about the fact that we may have compromised how we fight terrorism in this nation. if you listen to the nsa chief testifying yesterday, yeah, the program has been severely compromised. here is general keith alexander. >> it's dozens of terrorist events that these have helped prevent. great harm has already been done by opening this up and the consequence, i believe, is our security is jeopardized. there is no doubt in my mind that we will lose capabilities as a result of this and that not only the united states, but those allies that we have helped will no longer be as safe as they were two weeks ago. if we tell the terrorists every way we're going to track them,

they will get through and americans will die. >> gretchen: there is also questions about how he was able to get his fingertips on all of this information that he claims to have and more to come because senator susan collins yesterday of maine asked alexander about the bold claim that he could just get right to it, that there was millions of people who could get right to it. alexander said, i know of no way to do that. so is he lying, or did he have help from other people? >> steve: listen, love him or hate him, this guy has gotten the united states essentially a wake-up call. hey, did you know your government is doing this? there are a lot of people in the government and observers who feel that the patriot act started out as one thing and now it has gotten so big, they're actual will he in violation of the law. the judge feels this program is unconstitutional. congressman from kansas was on hannity last night and he made it very clear, why are we

trusting the government? here he is. >> this administration certainly willing to lie to congress, as mr. clapper apparently did in march, willing to mislead and cover up what's going on of the there is plenty of classified information here. but the member of congress, there is plenty of things that they told us yesterday that were brand-new to us. there is real issue is a probable cause. why do you have to collect up a billion phone records every day to go after that proverbial find the needle in the hay stack? those are real questions of dist trust 'cause who can you trust in this administration with irs, benghazi, now this scandal? >> brian: what do you think of him? i mean, i looked at the irs clowns and they were smug and con descending and had no interest in being honest. general alexander yesterday, i saw an honest guy doing the best he could not to compromise. >> gretchen: now it's all been blown up. so how much trust and confidence do you have in the federal

government? a great deal, only 5%. fair amount, 32%. the majority say they really don't have that much trust in the federal government or none at all. >> steve: yeah. the question is, how much of what we are learning about the programs will be revealed that they're in violation of the law? the senator who wrote the patriot act said they should go ahead and amend it. meanwhile, back in 2008, shia will he buff was on jay leno. he was told by an f.b.i. consultant, some of the capabilities, some of the ways that the government, big brother, is watching us. >> i remember we had an f.b.i. consultant on the pick telling me that they can use your adt security box microphone to get your stuff that's going on in your house, or onstar, they can shut your car down. one in five phone calls you make are record and logged.

i laughed at him and he played back a phone conversation i had two years earlier prior, the f.b.i. consultant. it was one of those phone calls, like what are you wearing type of things. >> really. >> steve: there he is back in 2008 saying that the f.b.i. said that one in five phone calls is being recorded. i wouldn't be surprised if they're recording all the phone calls and they simply don't open them up until they need to. >> gretchen: possibly. >> steve: we've heard different ways. >> gretchen: that would have been starting way back in the 2000s, too. >> steve: that would be in violation of the constitution with the fourth amendment, very, very clearly. if the adt thing he was just talking about where the home alarm system, they could literally see inside your house, how could that possibly be legal? >> brian: the rock also found out bin laden was killed. he tweeted it out really before the president announced it. so something about hollywood getting real information from real agents. >> steve: it sounds realistic. >> brian: one thing real quick, five years ago, they say it would have been unimaginable for

the government agency to be able to record things like this. they say today a new set of technology make it relatively affordable and manageable to do this expansesive program. so five ars ago, they weren't even thinking about it. not because they were more or less honest, we have the technology. >> steve: sure with the technology today as well, if you have a cell phone and somebody knows your number, they know where you are wherever you go when you've got the cell phone in your pocket. >> brian: right. >> gretchen: all right. we'll continue to debate this throughout the show. the jet pack, that's so 2012. we're about to show brian the latest and greatest way to get around to put the jet pack to shame. >> brian: look who is here, the army's birthday, chief of staff ray ordierno's secretary. how our military is still going strong and growing. hey, general both maxwell and ted

have hail damage to their cars. ted is trying to get a hold of his insurance agent. maxwell is not. he's on geico.com setting up an appointment with an adjuster. ted is now on hold with his insurance company. maxwell is not and just confirmed a 5:30 time for tuesday. ted, is still waiting. yes! maxwell is out and about... with ted's now ex-girlfriend. wheeeee! whoo! later ted! online claims appointments. just a click away on geico.com.

joining us is general ray ordierno, chief of staff. i had it wrong on the tease. first off, the nsa has a bit of -- has it been of benefit to you in the field? >> of course. when i was in iraq and in afghanistan, the work that they do is immeasureable in getting us intelligence in helping us do the things we need to do to get after our enemies. >> brian: i was amazed to find out that five years ago, we couldn't dream about having the technical ability we have today in terms of storage and access. did you see it grow when you were in the field? >> oh, yeah, sure. this capacity has continued to grow. it's an important investment. so we try to use anything possible to help our soldiers that are on the ground. >> brian: in what way do you think you get to see the tactics of the enemy by putting enough information -- >> so it's never one thing. it's two or three different kinds of information, whether it's human information, whether it's information garnered by many other kind of intelligence

collection, include what nsa does helps us get after terror cells, which helps us to get after the internal workings of some of these cells that are in afghanistan, in iraq that attacked our soldiers with bomb making material and other things like that. so it's key as we go forward. >> brian: private contractors play a huge role in many different facets of the military, especially the army. we have a private contractor situation where this 29-year-old is not with the government. he ends up in hong kong, talking to the chinese. how do you feel about that? >> i mean, first off, it's concerning that somebody can do this who thinks maybe he's doing the right thing. but is damaging the united states by giving away information. probable willly doesn't understd everything. i don't know what job he had, but my guess is fairly low level. so you don't understand the big picture. in my mind, it's not good. so what this means for us, and

we've all had these problems, it's about making sure we have the systems in place to properly do background checks, to make sure we understand who some of these individuals are. >> brian: that would help. >> i'm sure they did that. >> brian: to a degree. >> yeah. >> brian: 238 years the army. how much do you value the history of the army that brought you here? >> that's what this is about. today is about celebrating 238 years, from the time of the revolution to all of the wars and sacrifices that were made. when i talk to our soldiers, i say we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, those who fought in world war one, world war ii, korea, vietnam. the army is about sacrifice. it's about doing something for your country and that's been going on for many, many years. >> brian: let's celebrate the only way we know how. the american tradition which has been done from generations, with your blessing, being you're trained to use this and the

thought up sooner? you have the drama of music, country music is hot as heck, and you get the mix of music with the drama behind the scenes. >> we said the same thing. how has this not been done before? honestly, it took the right people, the writer, an academy award winning writer from "thelma and louise" and i think when you have them behind the project -- >> brian: you don't have to answer this. why do all the musicians get the girls? do we know this yet? have the scientists been working on this? >> i couldn't answer that. >> brian: and you can't answer it! >> gretchen: you got a woman because you're married and have three children. but you're also a rock star of sorts. you have jonathan jackson and the e nation. tell us about the band. >> yeah. i've been playing music with e nation for probably close to ten years now. my brother, richard lee jackson, is the drummer. we grew up playing music together of the then daniel sweater is the bass player.

it's time -- we're tired of telling you this, take your metamucil. >> brian: he will donate his $250,000 prize to a charity for senior citizens. that was all last night. >> gretchen: great to see that. let's head outside to find out how to barbecue for father's day. steve? >> steve: that's right. thank you very much. "fox & friends," our old buddy george hirsch is here. a lot of people would love to throw a fancy party but think it will cost a lot. you're going to show us how to do for less than 100 bucks. >> you can't buy great entertaining. i have my under $100 for ten people, including wine, sangria, roasted corn, cookies, slice -- we're not talking burgers and dogs. bourbon marinaded steak, and dessert cookies and a goody bag so they can remember tomorrow when they take away a goody bag.

>> steve: all right. let's go through some of the items. talk about a steak. >> this is a great bourbon steak with a nice bourbon marinade. brushetta, gazpacho. >> steve: that costs about ten bucks. >> the steak in most pricey, about $20. the wine, about 20. corn, you can buy a sack of corn today. now they're in season, buy things that are in season. really good for you. jalapeno popcorn as a starter. only a couple dollars. it's very, very inexpensive. >> steve: then the last item? goody bag. >> five dollars for cookies and five dollars for the goody bag. great outdoor grilling, you need a great machine. here i have a kenmore elite. >> steve: what dad wouldn't want that thing? >> exactly. power grilling, 39,000 gq. the best for great searing.

everybody wants to be able to sear great on the grill. >> steve: how much is that. >> the stainless is 649. if you want one of the color options, which also is hot, they're 549. >> steve: i love this right over here. get a shot of these. they look like screwdrivers. they're craftsman and barbecue tools. >> my father was a great craftsman. this is so much fun. that's what cook outdoors is about, the fun. i have to talk this up. this is one of our hometown boys. brooklyn butcher block, made right here in new york. >> steve: beautiful. >> beautiful grain, all craftsman, one of a kind. then to get into the gadget world -- >> steve: this is what i want. if my wife is watching, this is what i want. >> this is the treen tropical depression. you can point to the grill and get the heat. you can get the heat in the back if you want to see the hot spot. or point to the meat if you want to see, what's the internal temperature of my meat? or if you think you're feeling

hot today, steve, check the temperature on that. >> steve: hold on. check my hand. >> we're on celsius. 82. you're doing good. >> steve: it's a little chilly. all great stuff. >> great flavoring with a little bit of smoked bourbon. >> steve: very nice. george, thank you very much for joining us. >> happy father's day. >> steve: all right. i've got a feeling all that food will disappear from the studio crew in about three minutes. gretch, in to you and brian. >> brian: they've been up since 1 a.m so it's time for steak. thanks a lot, guys. 20 minutes before the top of the hour. >> gretchen: that sick little girl in desperate need of a lung transplant, well, she's breathing a sigh of relief this morning, literally. peter johnson, jr. has followed sarah's story closely and he has an update for us next. >> brian: and three times not the charm for this would be burglar. his epic fail caught on camera. k9 aantix ii not only kills fleas and ticks,

it also repels most ticks before they can attach. the leading brand kills, but doesn't repel. a tick tt isn't repeed or killed may attach and make a meal of us. get veterinarian recommended k9 advantix ii!

>> steve: we've got quick headlines for you now. it's a jaws cam. a few buddies come across the surprise of a lifetime. a great white shark swims right up to the boat just off the coast of atlantic city in new jersey. experts say great whites are increasing in the area because of a growing seal population. talk about a burglary gone bad, this crook tried breaking into a gun shop with a stolen

car. the burglar rammed it through the doors three times. when it didn't work, he just left the car at the store and of course it's all caught on camera. gretch, over to you. >> gretchen: thank you very much. a life changing victory fort murnaghan family yesterday. ten-year-old sarah, battling cystic fibrosis, received the double lung transplant that her family had been fighting for. >> we had no other option, no other out. we have very limited time. just this is like just a blessing from god. i feel like just it came at just the last minute and we wouldn't have made it much longer. >> gretchen: fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. has been following the story from the beginning and he joins us now. good morning, peter. >> hi, gretchen. it wouldn't have been a matter of time, yes, that's right. sarah was on the way out. she was going to pass from this

world and thank god speaking to the family yesterday that it happened. so they're delighted. i understand sarah had a pretty decent night last night. so it's all good news and recovery now begins. >> gretchen: so a couple questions because you've been following this story so closely. she was ten. so originally she could not be on the list to get adult donor lung. she went to a judge. she went to capitol hill. the judge said she should be on that list. do you know whether or not the lung she received yesterday were pediatric or adult lung? >> according to sharon, her you want, they are adult lungs and she could have received adult lungs all the time. and she and other children were discriminated against and still are in this country in terms of receiving the organs that they need. i think the lesson of sarah and the murnaghan and rutic family is that a lot of us going forward are going to face this type of travail. when you have advisory boards

like the organ advisory board, when you have independent advisory boards that are created by congress under obamacare to reduce medicare, when you have boards appointed by the secretary of health and human service, when you politicize medicine, girls like sarah, boys like javier may die when they shouldn't die. so that's really the lesson of sarah. the question that we all face as americans going forward, are we going to have to hire lawyers? are we going to have to call people at fox news? are we going to have to stand out in front of hospitals and in front of washington offices and say, please give us the health care that the doctors say we can provide, but you are holding back. that is my fear going forward. so a lot on the left saying, you want to make this about death panels. sarah would have died but for public attention and a pro bono

law firm. so i'm afraid what we're facing as a result of obamacare is new obamacare courts where hundreds of thousands of americans will have to go into court and get the health care that they need. that's my great fear this morning. >> gretchen: all right. we should say that when she went on that adult list, it's not like they passed over other sick adults to give her those lungs. they go to the sickest patient and she was the sickest patient at that time. >> that's exactly the point, gretchen. since she's been the sickest patient fort last 18 months and a lot of children have died on that list waiting because healthier adults got the organs first. this was a hard, hard thing to do. they're an incredible family. they got it done. but we all had inspiration early on when sarah murnaghan gave us this prophetic advice. >> this god is awesome.

>> gretchen: she says i'm not going for easy. i'm just going for possible. now she has a second chance at life. much in thanks to you, peter, for all the work you did. >> all of us have tried hard. >> gretchen: we'll see you tomorrow. thanks so much. >> bye. >> gretchen: coming up, check this out, is canada trying to recruit you? john stossel here with how big government is letting our neighbors to the north steal the american dream? i can hardly wait to hear what he has to say. first on this day in history in 1972 "the candy man" by sammy davis, junior, that was the number one tune. ♪ ♪ makes the world taste good ♪ the candy man makes ♪ everything he makes satisfying and delicious ♪ ♪ talk about your -- look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

>> brian: our chances are your relatives came to the united states to pursue the american dream. just a hunch. john stossel says the american dream may be dead. if we only had bought the book john stossel. is this true? >> it's not dead. it's tougher. there are web sites that let you check, would my parents or ancestors get in now? i found mine would not because it's just much tougher. we have these quotas. even if you're going to start a business, have a special skill, those quotas sell out -- are gone in two days. canada is saying the united states is so tough and complex, start your business in canada. >> steve: they have some billboards up there to get people. >> like silicon valley where tech people really want to go because they have dynamisn and

give birth to new ideas around silicon valley. >> rick: some of the people who started big silicon valley companies and others are immigrants. take a look at the list. you've got apple, or rather the watson family. but google, you got apple, yahoo, mcdonald's, budweiser. >> 60% of the tech companies started by at least partly by an immigrant. >> gretchen: let me have you be more clear about what you're asking for -- >> i hope to try to get more clear. >> gretchen: because it's a little -- we do have so many people coming across the border not using the legality of our system and on the other hand, you're saying that the legality of the system is too tough. >> right. and when the laws are tough, more people break the laws. and if we let more people in legally, allow them to work, then it's easier to find the terrorists who want to kill us. and other countries are saying, we have these quotas and this many siblings. other countries are saying,

canada, for example, you get $75,000 from an angel investor, come on in. these are the people i would think we would want. >> gretchen: what kind of taxes would they pay in canada? 50%. >> brian: put that billboard up, gretchen. we'll get them right back. >> gretchen: i'm just saying, they're more of a socialistic lately. >> their economy is doing pretty well. we're more socialist in some ways now than canada. >> steve: it does look like congress is perhaps on the verge of doing something. the big question is, is it something that's in the greater good? >> and will it be so complex that it won't change much? because when people are living in the shadows, there are more black markets. people don't report crimes to police. >> steve: they don't pay taxes. >> that makes life more dangerous. milton freedman says it's good if they come here illegally and don't collect social security and they don't collect welfare. so there is a trade-off.

>> brian: i'm just glad your great, great, great grandfather stossel came here years ago. >> my father. >> gretchen: your father from germany. >> brian: we have benefited as a country. >> my father started the towel factory. >> brian: he fills up my lint screen. >> gretchen: thanks, we'll be watching you on the "fox business" network. his show is tonight. >> steve: it is. meanwhile, the nsa whistle blower has surfaced and he's spilling more american secrets. they benefit china perhaps. michelle malkin will comment on that in a few minutes. >> brian: sick of sitting in the shelter, he takes matters into his own hands. bye, squeaky. bye, squeaky. >> steve: doesn't have hands. he takes it into his own paws. >> brian: i wish i could read it again. was that live? new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain.

>> brian: there is one thing that's clear in this day and age, there has been times in which the military does not get the respect it deserves. i think wherever you go, i don't care what your stand is in politic, they're getting respect. you wear that uniform, you get the best table, the front seat. >> steve: they're doing a great job. the cake really was done by the c.i.a., c.i.a., of course, referring to -- if you can zoom in a little bit there. >> brian: the culinary institute of america. >> steve: c.i.a. >> brian: they were actually in fallujah for a while in all white jackets. >> gretchen: looks fantastic, ready to eat some of that after the show. we got headlines. this extreme weather alert to tell you. meteorologists are warning of what could be the worst weather day of the year. it could affect as many as 75 million people in 19 states, from iowa to maryland. the storm now heading east, pummeled the midwest last night with twisters and expected to turn into something, a rare

recent nsa leaks and what happened in benghazi. this coming on the heels of explosive testimony about the terrorist attack. general martin dempsey now disputing what former diplomat gregory hicks told the house panel last month. he says u.s. troops were never told to stand down that night. ambassador chris stevens and three other americans were killed. >> they weren't told to stand down. stand down means don't do anything. they were told to -- that the mission they were asked to perform was not in benghazi, but was at tripoli airport. >> brian: what? >> gretchen: this comes as a new fox news poll finds more than half of voters, 56%, think president obama didn't order troops to benghazi because he didn't want to risk something costing him the election. the navy will soon no longer sell messages -- spell messages in all capital letters. officials say all caps messages come across as too harsh. another reason? a switch to mixed case software will save the navy $15 million a year. all caps communication had been a navy staple since the 1800s.

the new messaging system should be ready by 2015. >> brian: it takes two years to do that? >> gretchen: i guess because it's interesting because when you get an e-mail in all caps, it's like somebody screaming at you. >> brian: it doesn't hurt my feelings. how do you feel about that? write us. do you really think the navy should be adjusting? i understand saving money. should we be adjusting from all capital letters because we're more sensitive as a people. >> steve: we're no longer doing morse code. michelle malkin -- i know you do. michelle malkin joins us right now. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> steve: let's talk a little bit about ed card snowden. he told a chinese newspaper that he's neither a traitor nor a hero. i'm an american. he says the bullying united states trying to extradite him. by the way, china, the united states is spying on you. no matter how people feel about him, he's the ultimate whistle blower because he says he's exposing things where the united states government is simply

breaking the law, in his mind. >> in his mind, yeah. i think that's key. i have think that a lot of people are going to regret going on the knee jerk edward snowden cheerleading band wagon as more comes out about him. i know that i'm not alone in reacting to his latest revelation with this response. so what? i don't have a problem with the u.s. spying on foreign governments. in fact, that's what foreign intelligence agencies should be doing. >> steve: that's right. >> it makes you question the agenda of some of these people who are on the chicken little, civil liberties absolutist agenda here. there is more coming out about him. he lied about some basic details in his biography. a lot of my military blogger friends have been looking into some of the claims that he made

about special ops training that he never had, some other details about his job, employment. and we have to be very careful about many blabber mouths who don't think that our u.s. government should do anything at all to combat our enemies. >> gretchen: yeah. this is why from the beginning, it was perilous to come out and take a side, especially calling him a hero, because there were so many unanswered questions. for me personally, i'm just so upset about national security. i worry now about the safety of this country, the safety for our children. and general alexander who runs the nsa, he has the same concerns for all americans. what has been jeopardized? let's listen. >> it's dozens of terrorist events that these have helped prevent. great harm has already been done by opening this up and the consequence, i believe, is our

security is jeopardized. there is no doubt in my mind that we will lose capabilities as a result of this and that not only the united states, but those allies that we have helped will no longer be as safe as they were two weeks ago. if we tell the terrorists every way that we're going to track them, they will get through and americans will die. >> brian: with testimony and comments like that, what did you think? >> well, i agree in general with a lot of what he says. i tried to make the distinction last week and pointed out that during the bush administration, i supported some of these programs that had well defined focused and disciplined definitions of what they were about and what they were trying to achieve. i pointed out last week on this show and on my blog that under the bush administration, some of these initial programs that were introduced after 9-11 have, in fact, deterred other terrorist

plots. i think that's what he was getting at. we can't lose sight of the fact, and again, this is something i tried to make clear and a lot of time nuance is lost in the initial gee-jerk response to some -- knee jerk response to some of these scandals -- that the reason why there is so many questions and anger about the obama administration is because of the totality of corruption involved and the complete lack of credibility that this administration has in both its commitment and its execution of any kind of war on terror on jihad and other national security threats. >> steve: you know what, michelle? you look at the brand-new fox news polls that came out and it shows that apparently it's taken a beating, the administration. the question is, how much trust and confidence do you have in the federal government? only 5% a great deal. 22%, none at all. 41%, not that much. 32%, a fair amount. what's interesting, though, and

edward snowden, what he has done is he's gotten us all talking about what is the government doing behind the scenes to keep us safe? the terrorists knew that we were listening in on their phone calls and -- >> brian: they didn't know how and the extent. >> gretchen: i don't know about that. >> steve: but my point is this: if they're listening to people's conversations here in the united states, or monitoring your e-mail, there is a possibility they're break the law. our own government. and that is very troubling because it's unconstitutional. >> yeah. i think that's what people are trying to sort through now. as i say, i think we need to be very careful about joining hands with a lot of civil liberties absolutists who have tried during the bush administration to undermine every last counterterrorism program. for some of my friends on the right side of the aisle who have joined them, i would remind them that the founding fathers themselves understood the vital

role of intelligence when waging war. george washington was the first intelligence officer and we did the kinds of things that now this edward snowden is blacking about and condemning. >> gretchen: exactly. >> brian: do you want him as secretary of state -- do you want this school dropout deciding what our country should be doing? >> gretchen: it's so upsetting and for me, it's important to stick to your convictions. if you supported the patriot act under president bush, then support it under president obama. >> steve: but it's changed. >> gretchen: the negative is it's become too expansive potentially. now do we find ourselves, michelle? now where do we find ourselves? how are we going to continue to fight terrorism and what other secrets is he going to reveal? >> we always have to stick to first principles. i consider myself a national defense, strong national security conservative, at the same time i believe we should adhere to the constitution and that we need a system of checks and balances. that's what congress is for now. at the same time, i like to be completely consistent about the

fact that when you have blabber mouths that are endangering national security, whether it's under an r or d administration, they should be treated equally. this is why i don't like all of the hanging of someone like peter king who has been consistents on these issues. >> steve: all right, michelle malkin joins us every thursday from colorado springs. thank you very much. >> you bet. take care. >> gretchen: bob massi, he's a lawyer, he told you yesterday how to get into a new home. but how do you stay happy there? that's a loaded question. bob is back with what you need to know live on our set. >> brian: then anna kooiman getting behind the wheel of a monster truck. she's reving her engine right now and getting ready to do some serious destruction. >> steve: she's going to drive over those things? >> brian: yeah, and those people don't even know it. ♪ the great outdoors, and a great deal.

some of us made bad decisions when we bought homes and property. so you look to see what do i have left, so to speak? a lot of people think that you have to have a lot of money to start talking about how do i protect these assets in the future? how do i -- should i get some type of counsel for that and the answer is yes. look at where you are personally now. how much debt do you have left? did you go through a bankruptcy? how you rebuild this. so you have to become very sort of conscious now of where you are and how to rebuild this dream. >> steve: we had another question for you. it was what if i only have a few assets, do i go to the next step? this kind of ties in with what we were talking about last week. do i need will or a trust? >> absolutely. obviously you look to your -- if you have children, if you have minor children, for example, do you have a testamentary trust or will that basically says, god forbid if there is an accident, who is going to raise my children? where does the money go?

how do you educate them and raise them religiously? what do you do? the other thing is, for example, so many people work at different places like this or all over the country. what was -- when was the last time someone advised you on your 401(k). >> steve: we know we have one. they have advice. >> nobody ever knows, what do i do? so a lot of people who went through things, losing their home, they still maintained their retirement. they still had their ira's and 401(k). what's going on with them? should i invest it in a different way? how should i do it? because what happens, people got in this fog, steve, and they got so afraid and so much anxiety that they lost control of their life. you got it back now, guys. you got it back. you got your home, now you rebuild. >> so you need help. and question number three is, how do i find a competent attorney to help? a lot of people know attorneys, but think, i don't want my neighbor, attorney neighbor to know my business, so i'll have

to find somebody. how do i find them? >> number one, if you can trust somebody, it's referrals. always. remember, professional people more than ever before need it. i really say that, nonin a solicitous manner. there is a web site martindale hubbell.com. a legal directory. you can put in the type of lawyer you want, you want to look for somebody that's av rated. that means they've been rated amongst their peers as to their capabilities. that's something where you can look for a real estate expert and state expert, bankrupt, whatever it may be and you'll get into good hands with these people. but remember, a lawyer is very much like a doctor. you got to feel comfortable with them. you got to be able to open up, let it down, and to the casual observer, this is the only time i wear a jacket 'cause i like to make people at ease when they come see me. you got to be at ease.

claustrophobic. i can't move my head. >> that's what we're doing right now. >> we've been doing a lot of stunts, but this feels real. you're a stunt man. you've been in a lot of movies like "spiderman." >> i'm getting make-up in here. >> i'd rather have the smell than make-up in my helmet. you ready to do this? >> okay. >> here we go. you're locked in. have fun. >> all right. that's it, 10,000 pounds. 66-inch tires. 12 feet high. here goes nothing. he put me in drive a little bit too soon. in park right now. moving to drive. i got the go ahead.

coming off the bridge. let's see what this bad boy could do. again, all you guys at home who love muscle cars, 1500 horsepower. if you got a mustang, souped up car at home, they tell me -- i like a big truck. they tell me 3 to 400 horsepower is what a mustang has. quite a bit different. these -- this race is a single elimination to see who goes the fastest. then another going through obstacle courses. this is awesome. essentially going through 50 crushed cars, they're bringing in a bunch of vans and mobile homes and a bunch of -- i'm going to trio turn up my audio -- try to turn up my audio right now. how are you guys doing?

>> brian: you're doing great. you want to run over an ambulance or a van? >> they will not let me even graze any of these things. believe me, i've been asking. >> brian: that middle car is mine. i'm giving you permission. >> gretchen: can diablo do it? >> they're going to have to kill me. they're going to have to kill me! ahhh! >> brian: wait a second. >> steve: what were you thinking? here they come. lady, get out of the el diablo. >> brian: i never told you to do that. i don't know. >> steve: what are you thinking? >> where is my camera guy? i can't get out. where is my camera guy. (sirens). >> gretchen: i hope she's not

having a panic attack. >> brian: there might not be any monster truck show. >> steve: the path of destruction returns to met life stadium in new jersey, second year in a row. check it out. >> brian: we just sent a monty carlo into the fence. good job, anna. >> gretchen: that looks like fun. coming up, a fox news alert. meteorologists are warning of what could be the worst weather day of the year. a gigantic line of thunderstorms could affect as many as 75 million people across 19 states. a live report straight ahead. >> steve: and this dog sitting in the shelter wants out. squeaky the pup pulls a sneaky move coming up. not squeaky from "laverne and shirley." ♪ who let the dogs out ♪

>> steve: all right. a fox business alert. the labor department just releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers. 334,000 first-time unemployment claims were filed last week. that is less than the week before and less than expected. 334,000 got in line this past week. >> brian: yeah. all right. so next week nicole petallides will talk about that. now the rest of the headlines. who needs the nsa whistle blower when we have shia labeouf. he knew about the spy scandal for years. here he is back in 2008 talking to jay leno about what a

consultant on his movie "eagle eye" told him. >> i remember we had an f.b.i. consultant on the picture telling me that they can use your adt security box microphone to get your stuff that's going on in your house or onstar, they can shut your car down. he told me one in five phone calls that you make are recorded and logged. i laughed at him and he played back a phone conversation i had two years prior to joining the picture. >> come on. >> brian: wow. "eagle eye" about a mysterious stranger who listens in on phone calls. >> steve: apparently some of the stuff was pretty accurate. which is shocking. meanwhile, a life changing victory for a ten-year-old girl who has been fighting for her life. we've been telling you about sarah murnaghan. now she has new lungs. she underwent a successful double lung transplant yesterday afternoon. we've been telling you about sarah's battle. she has cystic fibrosis and was in desperate need of a lung. she was number one on the transplant list, but she was two years too young to get on the

adult organ list. she's just ten. you had to be 12. good morning, brian. after taking their fight to capitol hill, a judge ruled in her favor. peter johnson, jr., who has been helping them joined us last hour and he says this is a problem for all kids. >> when you politicize medicine, girls like sarah, boys like javier, may die when they shouldn't die. so that's really the lesson of sarah. >> steve: sarah is recovering and should be able to go home in the next couple of weeks. that is just terrific. >> gretchen: fantastic news. and this dog wants out. watch this. squeaky the pup, sick of sitting in a missouri shelter, so takes matters into her own paws. she opens the door on her own, they couldn't figure out how she kept on getting out of her room. well, now they know. all right. >> brian: a german shepherd used

to hop on my screen door and walk backward with it. i know you don't believe me. we didn't have cell phones. >> gretchen: you did what? >> brian: i had a german shepherd that used to get tired of waiting for us to get in so he taught himself to grab the door and walk backwards with it. >> steve: that's talent. too bad you couldn't parlay that into something. >> brian: we sold him to the circus. >> steve: john cusak from the acting family, he was on twitter and somebody had tweeted, obama, becoming the next nixon. and you know what? john cusak responded this way. well, past in terms of presidential powers. imperial presidency that would make nixon blush to the point that obama becoming the next nixon. >> brian: he's well past nixon.

>> steve: nixon on steroids maybe? >> gretchen: another celebrity getting getting into the fray of politics. what too we have coming up right now? >> brian: this is the point when i sing. >> gretchen: i see archie manning over there. he's coming up. >> steve: we haven't heard from joan cusak. >> brian: father's day is here. archie manning, according to this paperwork, has two sons that are quarterback. according to jack harbaugh, he has two sons that are coaches. >> gretchen: and he has no idea we're talk being him. but you'll be talking about him in just a minute. >> steve: meanwhile, fox news alert. meteorologists are warning of what could be the worst weather day of the year. a big line of powerful thunderstorms could affect as many as 75 million people in 19 states. it's been rolling through the great lake states overnight. wjw reporter alyssa is live in willoughby, ohio. good morning to you. >> good morning. yeah. looks like the worst of the

storm is now behind us. the rain has let up. but there is going to be a lot of clean-up, 25 minutes east of cleveland at the intersection of park and murray avenue. check out this gigantic tree that was uprooted. this shows you just how powerful this storm was that rolled through here last night. fortunately, it fell away from their house and we're told by a neighbor that no one lived here. but neighbors woke up to a very loud boom last night around midnight. they said they lost power for a couple of hours. we saw very strong winds, heavy rain and lightning that just lit up the sky all across northeast ohio. some communities, they saw hail the size of a quarter. we spotted a tree in the city of cleveland on the east side there that literally just toppled onto a vacant home and knocked out power to that neighborhood. fortunately there nobody was hurt. but back here in willoughby, neighbors said they were surprised. they knew this storm was coming,

but they didn't think the damage would be this extensive. good news, though, there are no injuries to report across the area. but you can see just by the debris, this tree, there is certainly going to be a lot of clean-up taking place here in northeast ohio. >> steve: we thank you very much for the live report. now the storms are moving to the east. we're going to get a lot of rain and big storms. >> brian: all right. should illegal immigrants be getting their health care for free? now the immigration impasse and now for our next guest, this is the final straw for him. congressman is here to talk about the immigration bill which will be dominated in washington for the next two weeks. >> gretchen: and there is some of the nfl's most famous dads. what do they want this father's day? we're going to ask coming up next. hello, gentlemen i do a lot of research on angie's list

before i do any projects on my own. at angie's list, you'll find reviews written by people just like you. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

>> steve: quick headlines. chris christie returning to late night last night. he slow jammed the news. >> you got something you want to announce on the show right now? come on, jimmy. >> do you really think i'd come on this show to announce a presidential run? >> say whatever you want, but we all know in 2016 ♪ ♪ baby you were born to run

>> steve: funny stuff. it was his third time on the show. his last appearance he and fallen sang a duet of bruce springstein's "thunder road." a husband sold what he thought was an empty watch box for ten bucks at the garage sale. he quickly found out that his wife's $23,000 engagement ring was inside. he says he's hoping that the person who bought the box returns the ring. good luck, but that's not going to happen. all right, gretchen. >> gretchen: should illegal immigrants be getting free health care? it's a question the gang of eight can't answer. congressman labrador dropping out of the group and he joins me now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: many people would argue illegal immigrants are already getting free health care. so what would be the difference if you agreed to give it to them now? >> the problem is that we're trying to fix the immigration system. i think we have a broken system.

i think we need to do something with the 11 million people that are here. i think we need to doing something about the future slow and we need to do something about border security so we don't have this problem again. one of the biggest magnets to the united states for people coming here illegally is that they're getting free services. i think that's one of the things that we need to fix with this program. we need to make sure that people that are legalized, newly legalized aliens, do not receive public benefits. the american people won't stand for them receiving public benefits. i think that's one of the fights we're having in congress. >> gretchen: you were part of the gang of eight and you walked away as a result of this one specific issue. are we to understand that the remaining members of the gang of eight disagree with you, they were all in agreement that obamacare should be given to illegals? >> no. what they decided to do is punt on the issue. they decided to not address the issue in the legislation. i think not addressing the issue by default leads you to obamacare. but i don't think there was any

agreement that they should receive obamacare. just by the way. it's a group of eight. my mother told me not to join any gangs. >> brian: i agree. i don't like the terminology either. let's move to the nsa discussion because i see that you're quoted all over the place this morning, saying that you have suggested to other members of congress that you believe that members of congress should have more access to classified information. you said this, quote, i hate it when we ask a question and hear, well, that's classified. what do you mean by that and were you in fact and other members of congress invited to look at this nsa program last year, but people didn't show up? >> we were invited to look at some of the information. we actually showed up. i went to numerous classified hearings. but the problem that happens is that when you go to a classified hearing, they just give you very peripheral information. they give you some information about the program. they tell you, for instance, that they're looking at meta data. but you never imagine as an

american and u.s. congressman that they're looking at every phone record of every american. you look at the drafter of the patriot act and he says that when he drafted the patriot act, he never imagined that the u.s. government was going to do what the u.s. government is doing with this information right now. i think it's a little bit misleading when they say they have given you all this information. >> gretchen: i see. and i understand your point. let me ask you this, because there has been a huge debate in the country and i actually think separating our country, unfortunately, of what to call this edward snowden leaker. is he a traitor or a hero, iyou? >> you know, i don't think he's a hero. i don't think anything that anybody should call him a hero. i think he violated the law. i think theyd into to prosecute him. but i think now that we know this information and that it's out in the public, i think it's good we're having this debate. i think it's important for us as members of congress to do that.

>> gretchen: what does it do about national security? we saw the testimony yesterday by the general who said look, we thwarted dozens of attacks because we had this surveillance program and now we're left with basically nothing. >> but every time you ask specifics about those attacks, and that's why i'm asking for a classified briefing and debate, because what happens when you go to the briefings is that they lecture you, but you don't have the opportunity to have a debate about what's happening. every time we asked about this information, what they tell you is that they already knew about these attacks or they knew there was something being plotted. the law allows you to go after somebody who you suspect of committing a crime. so i don't think you need to have this broad search of information of american citizens. >> gretchen: okay. congressman labrador from idaho, great having you as a guest today. thanks so much. >> thank you very much. >> gretchen: coming up, two of the most famous dads in the nfl. so why do archie manning and jack harbaugh -- what do they want for father's day?

we'll get the inside scoop. brian is coming up next. first, let's check in with martha for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> thanks for getting me thinking. we've got brand-new polls that show that americans are indeed quite concerned about the scandals that hit d.c 70% of them want the investigations to go on. senator marco rubio joins us on that this morning. and we'll go back to florida as well for the latest in the george zimmerman trial where there is a big controversy today over one of the jurors. sarah murnaghan is safely out of surgery. what is next for this little girl and the story that we have followed so closely here on "america's newsroom." bill and i will see you at the top of the hour. we look forward to it irs is outl targeting law-abiding citizens playing politics losing their receipts for lavish spending let's end the irs [typewriter] call today: 888-390-3450

>> steve: fox news alert out of philadelphia. officials there are saying the inspector who surveyed a philadelphia building less than a month before it collapsed has committed suicide. police say 50-year-old ronald wagonnenhofer sent a text to his wife before he committed suicide. the building was being demolished when it collapsed on a salvation army store, killing six people on june 5. now over to a trio of coach es. >> brian: with father's day around the corner, who better to talk to than two nfl -- two of the nfl's most famous dads. former new orleans saints quarterback and houston oilers quarterback archie manning is a dad. his kids, eli and payton, very good football players. playing for different teams. they played against each other. then jack harbaugh who burst on the scene to the national audience, but everybody knew about him from years at western ken condition as his sons, jim and john, coach against each

other in the super bowl. who better to talk to about father's day and what it means than you two. first off, archie, for you, this day comes up in june. what does it mean? >> well, it's special. count your blessings that we have three sons and they've all given us a lot of joy. sometimes you think they're still your little boys and everything. they're grown men, they're out there play ago rough game. we have a third son, cooper. but father's day is always special and these guys, they remember it. so it's fun. >> brian: both your sons are out there in the super bowl, the whole world watching and amazed by how close the game was and how tough it was on you. but for coaching, was it hard to be a dad when they were growing up? >> the first thing i had a coach a long time ago at bowling green state university where i played and he gave me the greatest advice anyone could ever get. if you want to be a successful coach, three things were necessary. number three, have a love and passion for the game. number two, work hard.

number one, marry wisely. [ laughter ] i followed his directions exactly the way he got them and come november, jack and i will be married 62 years. she's the rock of the family and she's done the heavy lifting. >> brian: now you're out and about. this is an excellent chance you guys could be shoulder to shoulder in about six months because eli and payton are in games to get to the super bowl and jim and john are coaching two teams to get to the super bowl. how would that be? >> it's great to get to the super bowl, you know. >> brian: you've been there before, twice with paten and twice with eli. >> right. we feel fortunate. i don't want to sound greedy, but they want to go again, both of them do. the harbaugh boys, it's unbelievable what they've done. great guy, but what they've done in the coaching profession, the last year for them to ultimately wind up in the super bowl was something. >> brian: something else. you have a recommendation for a gift this year. you can't go to every game. get direct tv. am i right? >> we've had direct tv for 17, 18 years.

when jim was playing with the bears, we had the sunday ticket and we had direct tv. so we already have our plan. we're in place. so we'll have a chance to watch john every week. >> brian: you can't make a decision every week. you got to watch direct tv. >> sometimes they're playing at the same time. we split the screen. or if i leave elay, going to catch payton's game, i can catch it on my phone. fantasy people like direct tv. i love to watch the red zone. >> brian: that's fantastic. it's exclusive to that. i can't thank you enough for coming in and you'll talk in the break about going grandparents and how great that is. thanks so much. back in three minutes to say something really important. we got the football rolling behind you [ male announcer ] this is george.
