assigned to the case? >> i have to get back to you. >> can you tell me who the lead investigator is? >> off the top of my head, no. >> the most important issue in front of the country and you don't know who is heading up the case. >>steve: is he clueless or is it a strategy of ignorance? we're going to report and you will decide about the f.b.i. >>brian: saying sorry is the hardest part, at least for our nation's politicians. they just got a lesson in apologies. they were given a class on how to apologize and the details are even better. i'm sorry for anything i do in the future. did i do wrong? "fox & friends" starts now; i know that. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >>gretchen: if you're singing along, why not? it's foreigner. can you believe they're going to be here today? it is an exciting day at "fox & friends." and it looks like the rain has maybe stopped for the moment. people can come out here and not be rain soaked and enjoy some famous dave's barbecue. >>brian: i feel so bad people were working out in the pouring rain. foreigner will b6(;,d here, even though they have been here often, it does feel like the first time. >>gretchen: is it cold as ice? >>brian: i'm willing to sacrifice. >>steve: stop it! so hot-blooded. >>gretchen: i think they have the most top-ten songs. i've got to go back and look at my facts. you know a lot of their songs. we're going to talk to them at 7:30 and they are going

to perform. >>steve: do you know why they call them foreigner? >>brian: they snuck in illegally? >>steve: no. they wound up getting talent from both sides of the atlantic and they said let's call ourselves foreigner and it worked. >>brian: i'm glad for america they didn't up. >>steve: fox news alert from florida. a night of fun turned into a nightmare. dozens of people at a sports bar plunged into the water when the deck they were standing on gave way. heather has breaking details. >> look at that video and how frightening that must have been for people there. witnesses describing the scene last night as pure pandemonium. one minute they're watching the san antonio-spurs basketball game and the next people started disappearing as the floor beneath them drops into biscayne bay. >> first you heard a crack. then it was within seconds that the whole deck collapsed into the water.

>> my concern was i don't know how deep that water is. so we were able to get out right away with no harm, but there were people that the tables toppled on top of each other. and of course panic set in so everybody got scared. >> emergency crews sent racing to the scene. helicopters shining spotlights from above as the divers searched in the water beneath the crumpled deck. 24 people were hurt and two seriously injured. police say 100 people were on deck at the time at shucker's bar and grill. dwayne wade said after the game his thoughts were with the victims. listen to them. >> i want to share our concerns as an organization for all that were injured tonight at shucker's restaurant. >> at this hour everyone has been accounted for and now an investigation is underway. we'll keep looking into this and bringing you the latest. steve, gretchen, brian?

detached thinking about his vacation rather than what he should be doing and had been doing, i thought for seven and a half years, a good job. >>steve: maybe he was thinking this is the last time i'm going to have to testify in front of the house judiciary committee. this is going to be a slam-dunk. it's not going to be too hard. unfortunately they wanted to know about all sorts of stuff. they wanted to know about the boston bombing. they wanted to know about benghazi. they wanted to know about the i.r.s. jim jordan, a republican from ohio, had a lot of really pertinent questions for the top law man in america who should know the answers but sure looked a lot like sergeant schultz. >> can you tell me how many agent investigators you've assigned to the case? >> i have to get back to you. >> can you tell me who the lead investigator is? >> off the top of my head, no. >> this is the most important issue in the country and you don't know who is heading up the case? >> at this juncture, no? >> you don't know who is

leading the case? >> i do not know -- >> do you know if you talked to any of the victims? have you talked to any of the groups who were targeted by their government? have you talked to any of the tea party folks since may 2013? >> you're asking questions about details of the investigation. i'd be happy to take -- >> that is not a detail about the investigation. that took player prior to -- that took place prior to when the investigation started. >> may i finish? >> i'm asking basic questions like who is heading it up. and you can't answer. this is the biggest story in the country and you can't tell me who the lead investigator is? >>steve: i know nothing. >>gretchen: you would think somebody on his staff at some point would pass him the note and say here's the name of the lead investigator. but it does come to mind today that quite possibly people are not going to give that much more information in these hearings after what we've seen happen to james clapper. when he said whatever he said in march about whether or not the united states is spying on all of us, maybe

now the new way of doing these hearings is you're just not going to give a lot of information out because you don't want to be hammered the next day for saying stuff. >>brian: i think we're seeing that we're not going to get information on this, but it's disrespect to the questioners. it's disrespect to in this case the house judiciary committee, disrespect of the two heads, the former heads of the i.r.s. and the future head of the i.r.s. robert mueller, he almost chose not to be prepared for this. and no one has ever questioned his competence as far as i know. the question -- i think maybe not only did he not know. maybe there isn't one. maybe there is not an investigation into this. >>steve: i think you might have hit the nail on the head, brian. while mr. mueller there, who is under oath, didn't know the name of the lead investigator or about the investigation, daily caller talked to lawyers representing the tea party groups. the f.b.i. has not contacted a single tea party group regarding the investigation according to jay sekulow and clida

mitchell. the daily caller called the f.b.i. press office and asked for kph-pbt on that and they -- and asked for comment on that and they transferred them to a phone line that nobody picked up and eventually disconnected. >>brian: you want good news? when it came to benghazi, we finally got answers. robert mueller on top of this. let's listen. >> the closer you get to a crime scene, the better you're going to be able to investigate it and process it? >> absolutely. >> the bureau did not get to the crime scene at benghazi for how long? >> two weeks. >> why did the bureau not get to the crime scene in benghazi for two weeks? >> there were a number of factors. the first one relates to the state of security in benghazi. there was no security. >> if benghazi was not safe enough for the premier law enforcement agency in the world to go, how is it safe enough for us to send diplomats? >>gretchen: that's a great question because a lot of people were wondering why chris stevens was allowed to be there with so little security.

the ambassador i'm talking about. >>steve: it does look as if because the president of libya was on that chat show just before susan rice was blaming it on a video and he had already said it was al qaeda, apparently the libyan government actually keft the f.b.i. from doing it. so when mr. mueller was talking about a a a a a number of reasons, that's one of them. >>brian: a cnn reporter and other reporters there finding his journal. it wasn't the safest thing. the other thing is our military. if you say you need someone , i think they would have gotten it. i would think you could have scrambled enough people there to provide security for the area. just a hunch. the detached, disinterested portion of this investigation and the testimony yesterday did not elude rudy giuliani who was on with sean hannity last night. >> seems terribly

disengaged. i was the third ranking official in the justice department during the reagan administration for some very serious and very sensitive investigations. if you asked me who the lead investigator was, i had met with that guy probably about 20 times, so it would have been on the tip of my tongue. i don't get it. you have this i.r.s. scandal going on, outrageous violation of people's rights, the f.b.i. director has to be on top of that. the f.b.i. has to be knowing that's going on. you've got benghazi. i don't understand how they didn't get in there for two weeks. i've never heard of law enforcement officials not going to a crime scene because it's too dangerous. that's what law enforcement officials do. >>gretchen: the biggest thing is nine months later there are still no arrests. isn't that what we're supposed to be finding out here? not only exactly what happened that night but also who did it? and will they be held accountable? there are four americans whose families i'm sure will never get their loved ones back, but might want some answers. >>steve: i get why the

administration and the higher ups are trying to insulate the president, keep him in the dark so when they ask him a question, "i don't know for sure." but the guy who is running the investigation, ultimately mueller, it is a puzzling situation. why do you think he didn't have good answers? e-mail us, friends at fox news.com. >>brian: the oil business in the united states is booming. so why are you still paying nearly $4 a gallon for gas? stuart varney knows. he'll be with us shortly. i recognize the walk. >>gretchen: why isn't there any more outrage about that? a jet crashing right inside of a hanger. the story straight ahead.

[ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. >>brian: the oil industry is booming. the u.s. recording its largest increase in history with production totaling 8.9 million barrels a day last year. that's a lot of caps on those barrels. >>gretchen: you might be asking why are gas prices still so high across the country with the national average sitting at over $3.60 a gallon. is there any way to fix this? you know that -- i don't understand why there's more outrage about this? spoil i agree entirely. oil production in the united states of america, we are going after what is ours. it's ballooning. not maximizing, not yet. but we're right in the middle of this revolution.

but getting what is ours. but here's the problem: once you've got it out the ground, you can't refine it in the right numbers. we haven't built a new refinery in 30 years. you can't build a pipeline in america so you can't transport it to the markets where you need it. you've got this energy revolution but we don't have the infrastructure which brings it to market and gets prices down. just imagine for a second -- just imagine -- if we went gung ho and tpra*bgd where we could, got -- and fracked where we could, got it to market, what do you think would happen to gas prices? they would go down. you're talking a long time frame. but in the absence of building that infrastructure and getting that stuff, which is ours, to our markets, you've got high gas prices. >>brian: i have a question, but it's gretchen's turn. >>gretchen: thank you, brian. you're so polite today. you know what the critics will say to you, that there are other outside

influences that factor into the price of gas. >> i'll tell you what the critics are saying. you must not exploit fossil fuels. global warming. look, last year our production of natural gas went straight up and we used natural gas in our power plants instead of coal. and guess what? america's emissions went down over 3%, best performance in the world. >>brian: with all the alleged influence the olympics -- the oil companies have, how come they are not using that influence running ads about the need to build refineries? >> they are running those ads. >>brian: something that will get people's attention. get my attention about something in your personal life that happened. breaking news. is it true? >>gretchen: tell us what happened last night at your house. >>brian: is it true your daughter had a prom? >> that is my daughter angie and that is her date matt. i had 22 teenagers stay

over in my house last night post-angie's prom. >>gretchen: they slept overnight? >> yes, they did. why are you so surprised? >>gretchen: i had a sleepover with ten-year olds and there were only six of them. >>brian: the good news is they weren't sleeping. >> i'm not yawning too much. >>gretchen: beautiful picture. >> thank you. >>gretchen: happy father's day. >>brian: watch him on varney and company. >>gretchen: days after anything -- days after angelina jolie had a mastectomy a ruling by the court that will affect hundreds of thousands. >>brian: happy flag day old glory. >> we are trailing betsy >> we are trailing betsy ross at a factory in ohio. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios

>> what do i do here? hit the go pedal. the 50 stars began in 1960 after hawaii became our 50th state. can you get that? i think you're better than that than me. tell me about our history at annin. most people's memory, raising the flag on september 11, what else? >> 9/11 was a very busy time for flagmakers. we were very, very busy. i think that picture of them raising the annin flag that day is probably one that will last for many years. in 1945 we raised the flag in iwo jima. >> on the moon from apollo 11. >> 1969 we raised the flag on the moon. it's up there flying. >> also all the presidential inaugurations.

rick, thank you so much. we're going to have more from annin flag factory coming up later in the show. happy flag day, everybody. feeling very patriotic this morning. >>steve: that is a good excuse to go out and put up a flag. if you've got one in the garage, today is a good day to fly it. >>brian: it used to be easier before we got those 50 states. >>steve: you still have the 48? >>brian: i still have the 13. >>gretchen: more from the flag factory later on. the white house kweurpblg -- confirming the syrian president is killing its own people and the u.s. will get involved. >>brian: his microphone cut off while giving his graduation speech because he was talking about constitutional rights. but this morning he has a lot to say. we will not cut his mic. stick around. ♪ ♪ ♪ new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain.

own people murdering more than 100, president says that red line we have all been talking about has been crossed. the u.s. is getting involved. certainly a different tune than we heard months ago. listen. >> we have been very clear to the assad regime but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is we start seeing a bunch of chemical weapons moving around or utilized, that would change my calculus. >> any further action, according to officials, will be done on the administration's own time line. republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham, while pleased with the latest news, do say there's still more that need to be done such as enforcing a no-fly zone and supplying more weaponry. >> i applaud the

president's decision and i appreciate it. but the president of the united states had better understand that just supplying weapons is not going to change the equation on the ground of the balance of power. >> the "wall street journal" is reporting military plans do include plans for a no-fly zone. the administration has not independently confirmed this with fox news. >>steve: thank you very much. >>brian: they say out of the 93,000 dead, 1,700 are kids under ten. so they are just murdering people. this isn't army against rebels. these are innocent people being just -- >>steve: who are the rebels? >>gretchen: now it is up for huge debate because there was no action and a lot of those rebels are members of al qaeda. the suspects at gitmo have more luxuries than many americans, like a brand-new $750,000 soccer field. we've shown you that before. now one lawmaker is saying enough is enough. >> these are people that

are being detained as enemies of america. they don't have the same constitutional rights that american citizens have and the due process that we have under our constitution. these are people that in most cases have taken an oath to the demise of the united states. they're being treated rather humanely. they're being given probably better accommodations than they are used to at home. >>gretchen: ross proposed the amendment in this year's defense authorization bill. >>brian: angelina jolie announced she had a double phafbgt and then a -- mastectomy and then a landmark decision from the court about gene patents. the court's ruling could have paved the way for cheaper testing but some disagree. given the high stakes here the court's decision could either result in sky-high prices for potentially lifesaving medical treatments or decimate incentives for research says the professor of the university of buffalo law

few years and started the fox cable news network. he is one of my two closest friends in the media executive world. after he left other people came in. one day i had -- forgive me but to make the point i have to say it this way. it was the highest rated show on the network. my guest was robert kennedy jr. and he was talking about general electric polluting the hudson river, river keepers and how they were the biggest polluter of the hudson. i said isn't it wonderful that you can come on a network owned by general electric and you can say these things and the next day i was fired. a week later because of phone calls and mail, they brought me back and they eased me out a year and a half. it was jack welch who was running g.e. it was true and they paid millions in fines. and i wasn't even saying it. be careful. don't tell the truth. don't say anything negative about fox. no matter what you might now. >>steve: we try to have

acknowledging it. reports are now that the u.s. is about to arm syrian rebels as we learn chemical weapons have been used. chemical weapons have been used, called sarin gas. the sarin gas killed about 150 people in small doses. absolute ea break from -- a break from the rules of law. i get it. however, there is at least 93,000 people have been slaughtered. about half of which are innocent people. as i mentioned earlier, 1700-plus are under the ages of ten. these are just recorded deaths. now that line has been crossed even though we said it last august, it was crossed earlier. finally the french said look, i have proof for you. we are acknowledging it. now it's time to make a decision. the rebels, to blanketly arm the rebels would be arming the rebels. we go and say here is what we need, if we go more, we lose them more. >> gretchen: we've been knowing about the situation in syria for

going on years now, years plural. it just looks like instead of leading as the united states used to do, that it's a follower now. france is telling us? france is telling us that they're using chemical weapons against their own people? we reported on this -- >> brian: israel, too. >> gretchen: it used to be in the olden days that the united states actually got that information first and then acted to do something about it. >> steve: you know with a it could be, though? tuesday night bill clinton was at an event closed to the press where he was bad mouthing the president on how the president has handled what's going on in syria. president clinton said president obama was lame for sitting on the side lines and referred to him as a woos. two days later, suddenly this comes out. coincidence? i don't know. does it have something to do with hillary running for president? maybe rudy doesn't like the way this president has handled it. >> this is a situation of while obama is fiddling, syria is

burning for the last year and a half, two years. so there is a vacuum left. the vacuum has been filled by the al-qaeda affiliate in that part of the world. so now if you arm them, their leader announced their next target is the united states of america. we'll be putting arms in training into a group. of course we should overthrow assad. we also got to be careful that we don't create an even bigger enemy of the united states. >> brian: that's absolutely what the risk is. but the answer for the administration was to just sit on the side line and train selected fighters in jordan. there is tremendous risk there, i get it. but the longer we wait, the harder this was. if senator mccain at 74 years old could find his way by escort ed right into the heart of this and eyeball these guys and talk to them, you got to think

the c.i.a. and special forces, retired or private contractors, could be able to do the same. >> gretchen: it shows there seems to be a different foreign policy depending on which nation you're dealing with. with libya, the united states, although they said it was nato, acted right away. and went in there and helped the rebels, et cetera. and now you have the serious situation that's just sort of lingered and is probably worse than the libya situation. and you do nothing. so it seems to be sort of this smattering, not connected foreign policy. >> steve: let's talk a little bit about this. edward snowden, the self-proclaimed whistle blower who now we presume still in hong kong, the global times, which is a popular chinese newspaper, says hey, let's not let this guy go home. let's milk him for information because china needs to know all about the hacking that the united states does that will improve our position with negotiations with the united states of america. last night on the channel, mark

dade, a national security attorney, who defended a number of whistle blowers, told bill o'reilly, look, if he wanted to blow the whistle, this guy did it all wrong. >> i have for 20 years been representing national security whistle blowers and those who are working covertly inside the intelligence community, c.i.a., dia, nsa, you name it. we follow the law. there are mechanisms and methods for which these individuals, when they have concerns of wrong doer or misconduct of the u.s. government that they can take. there is numerous steps they can take. i take my clients through each of those steps. leaking to the media is the last resort. there is a system in place that one has to follow before one decides to be a law breaker and more important, more importantly, that an individual does not make a determination for you, for me as to what's in the best national security interest of the united states. >> i agree with that. >> brian: he said this guy was a hero, i told you. this guy is a clown, he is as

bad as manning, as bad as it gets. he's a self-important jerk who went out and stole secrets. he didn't have access to. took a thumb drive that was illegal and found himself in hong kong and chairman rogers says he's not sure that it was planned ahead of time to see if he was compromised by the chinese government already. and he's already playing international politics 'cause china says, wait a second. this guy now shows that you've been looking at our stuff, surveilling the internet since 2009? i don't think i'm really going to pay attention to -- >> gretchen: when china is saying they want to keep the guy to get more information, he's probably not a hero to the united states. probably a traitor to china. and we brought up bradley manning on the very first day here and i think i asked the question, what was the difference between manning and snowden? that remains to be seen. >> steve: he is a whistle blower. he feels that he is blowing the whistle. >> brian: he's a clown. >> steve: that's your opinion. here is the thing. he felt so strongly, i'm going

to blow the whistle blower on it, brian, a lot of people would like us to focus -- for instance. >> gretchen: he's endangered an entire nation. >> steve: you made the point. here is the thing, that, when you focus on snowden, it distracts from the larger issue. did our government break the law? very clear action and i said it on the first day, he broke the rules and broke the law. but is our government stretching the patriot act so far that they're breaking the law? a lot of people say yes. >> gretchen: those are two separate issues. >> brian: do not laud his behavior because there will be a string of it if you make him a hero. more and more people who sign disclosure agreements and get top secret intelligence access will think that's the waiting to and it's not the way to go. >> steve: he did it wrong. >> gretchen: let us know what you think about this very, very controversial topic. he is the head of the f.b.i. investigating the irs scandal. what does he know? not that much. >> how many agents investigators

you've assigned to the case? >> maybe able to do that, but i'll have to get back to you. >> gretchen: is he really that clueless or is this some sort of a strategy and a choice. take up to 6 tylenol in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. all aboard. ♪ mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

literally out of control. joining me to weigh in is conservative radio talk show host dana. good morning. >> good morning. good to see you. >> gretchen: was that the main message of the tea party when all these groups started coming about throughout the country? >> absolutely. i think that the further solidifies the point that it doesn't matter what political persuasion you are. everyone can recognize big government and when government is so large that it can't even hold itself accountable, that's kind of a problem. and the tea party really began the germination of this while bush was still in office. we had a democrat congress. we had a republican president. we had spending that was out of control and that's when really the seeds were initially planted for this. then of course, this all began expanding even further in 2008. but everything lately has been making a really good case for our point here. >> gretchen: yeah. that's really interesting to point out when it actually started the genesis of it. let's listen yesterday to some of the testimony by the f.b.i. director, muller. he seem to not have a lot of

answers and i'm really interested in why you think that is. let's listen. >> may be able to do that, but i'll have to get back to you. >> can you tell me who the lead investigator is? >> off the top of my head, no. >> the most important issue and you don't know who is heading up the case? >> gretchen: that was about the irs situation. any investigation into the targeting of tea party groups. what do you make of muller's testimony that he didn't seem to know a lot about it? >> this is just the ongoing culture of ignorance that we see from this administration. lois lerner pled the fifth. doug shulman didn't know anything, but his wife certainly did, at least so she demonstrated on twitter. and then here you have the f.b.i. director who, according to a number of tea party groups just a few days ago, we don't even know if they're actually investigating anything, if they started. they never said they were going to start investigating because none of these groups have even yet been contacted. so he should have been told look, you come back tomorrow

with answers or we're going to hold new contempt. it's inexcusable that he has no answers for this. >> gretchen: it's interesting because we don't seem to have any answers on a lot of these big scandals, benghazi. the president says he'll get to the bottom of it, but we haven't heard the results yet. i want to get this poll in. 64% of americans now say the government is too big compared to 56% back in just march of 2009. what do you make of it? >> it's growing. we have over 450 some odd government agencies now. you have to think of the hundreds of sub agencies we have under each of these governments. this is the second time that david axelrod and this administration have come out saying the government is so big, we just have no idea what to do. well, the government, yeah, 456 agencies, but the president has a team of advisors that are supposed to keep him up to date about this. so far the media has been doing the job of his advisors. government is way too big. they're making our case for us better than we ever could. >> gretchen: i got to leave it

hearing over that clip is so well married to the action, the action is absolutely brilliant. it is a visual, as epic masterpiece when it comes to action. he builds such an emotional core. henry cavill, is a have you verbal. but when it comes time to be superman, he's ready to go. this movie transcends the super hero genre, much like "the dark knight" did. it leaves that realm and becomes a movie that anybody can relate to. i absolutely loved the film. i think it's brilliant action film. i want to say the 3d, it was not shot in 3d. skip that. the 3d dimmed the film. i recommend it in imax because of the sound quality. there is no post credit sequence. i'm giving it 4 1/2 out of five. >> gretchen: what do you mean post credit sequence? >> usually the end of certain movies, they'll give you a post credit sequence in the marvel and adventure type movies, like a tease. they didn't give it this time.

>> there is a chance for some drizzle. but it's okay. >> brian: if we had a retractible roof, she would close it. and maria has got a lot of fans. now to the other stories that i think you care about. the suspects at gitmo have more luxuries than many americans, like a new soccer field. one law maker saying enough is enough. >> these are people that are being detained as enemies of america. they don't have the same constitutional rights that american citizens have and the due process that we have under our constitution. these are people that in most cases have taken an oath to the demise of the united states. they're being treated rather humanely. they're being given probably better accommodations than they're used to at home. >> brian: ross proposed the amendment in the defense authorization bill. >> steve: meanwhile, angelina jolie underwent a double mastectomy because she carried that defective gene that increases the chance that a woman would get cancer.

hundreds of thousands of people carry that gene. before today, only one company owned the patent to the gene. now a landmark court ruling by the supreme court will allow other researchers to develop similar ones. this should bring down the cost of more testing. but some experts say it could decimate the incentive for game changing research. >> get really buffed up, you could grate cheese on those abs. >> yeah, but can he do this? [ laughter ] >> steve: where did it go? >> brian: a brand-new study from the university of california, and i salute the people there because they're studying things that matter. they say beer bellies are a total mess. the study says beer doesn't target the gut. i would like to be chosen for that study to see if my belly is

chosen. >> steve: maybe because you're consuming those calories while you're really not doing anything other than sitting there. sometimes you go three, four, five -- >> brian: you're saying it's the combination not solely. it's the lifestyle, not the alcohol? >> steve: it would be like as if i just sat here all day and ate the cake. >> brian: right. and you want your cake and you want to eat it too. that's why you're eating it now. now what i would like to do is go outside where gretchen is poised to interview possibly one of the most famous bands in the world. >> gretchen: i got the best job of the entire day. look who i'm with! i'm with kelly and mick jones and they make up foreigner, at least they make up two of the members of foreigner. mick, i understand that you had a big honor last night. tell bus it. >> it was a big honor. i was inducted into the song writers hall of fame.

psa at grammy.com and if they win, their high school wins a $10,000 grant to help their school music and arts program. so they should go to that. or check it out at grammyin theschools.com. it's a really great thing. music money is going away in schools and we're trying to raise awareness about the importance of that. >> gretchen: what a great idea and a great program. thanks so much. i understand there may be a broadway show in the making? >> well, i've been thinking about it for a long time. there are enough jukebox musicals out there. we have a little song that might work well with that. >> gretchen: stay tuned for that. in the meantime, we're going to hand over this beautiful plaque that we had made for you. [ applause ] it's a gold album for all of the hits that you had, mick.

home front in 08. tell us why you joined and what it's about. >> operation home front focuses on emergency financial assistance for military families. it's mostly going to cover everyday kinds of needs. rent, utilities, and even food. and i learned about all of the great things that operation home front does for our military families and i knew i had to be part of doing it every single day. >> brian: in other words, of unifying the family and getting they will together. >> while the service members are away and in harm's way, we can help take care of the families back home so they don't have to worry about it. >> brian: how did you find out about it? >> my boss back in destin, he sent me a link for it saying they were doing this program for father's day and i started from there. >> brian: so you've been in afghanistan how many times? >> four times. >> brian: you're just 27 years old. >> yes, sir. >> brian: so you joined the army why? >> joined the army to get my career started, get my life going. i needed a change. needed to jump start everything. get on to a good career path. >> brian: you wrote a letter to be part of this program.

correct? >> yes, sir. >> brian: let's take a look at the letter. a portion of it. actually you want to read the letter? >> yes. the combination of being in the army and being stationed halfway across the country is very challenging. last year i missed some of the first steps of my son's life as well as been deployed. i'm deploying again in the future and i know i'll have little time to spend with my little man. nothing can make this dad happier than getting personal time with this little dude. >> brian: you saw that letter and? >> we were touched and thinking of so many other families and were able to send 300 home for father's day this year. >> brian: now, what is your son's name? >> joey. >> brian: how great would it be if joey was here? >> it would be incredible. >> brian: why don't we bring joey out and see if we could get a look at joey and see in person how great it would be to spend father's day friday with joey and sheldon. joey is three years old and not

you? >> this is what it's all about. we see so many military families that volunteer to serve their country and do so proudly. the challenges are immense when they can't be there in person to have these kind of real moments. and so for us, this is why i am so privileged to lead a group of people dedicated to our military family. >> brian: wow. now you have no problem keeping them busy in new york city. >> not at all. >> brian: great to see him. what a great looking kid. thanks for coming out. thank you for writing that letter and it's a great program you're with. nice to see you, joey. can you say hi? you can do that letter. >> yea! >> brian: i'm sure in the break i'm going to get a high five. thanks so much for coming in. have a great time. home prices, meanwhile, as we change gears, may be on the rise. you can still get a deal like this one. a four bedroom house for less than $200,000. more like it coming your way. first on this day in 1975, "sister golden hair" by america

away with no harm. but there were people that, the tables toppled on top of each other and panic set in. so everybody kind of got scared. >> gretchen: 24 people hurt. two seriously. an investigation into the cause underway. another developing story for you. the white house finally confirming syrian president assad is killing his own people with chemical weapons. the "wall street journal" reported the obama administration will start to send arms to the rebels. senator john mccain, one of the lawmakers who says that might not be enough. >> every bone in my body knows that simply providing weapons will not change the equation and we must change the battlefield equation. otherwise you are going to see a regional conflict, the consequences of which we will be paying for a long, long time. >> gretchen: there are also reportedly plans for some sort of a no fly zone. while you were sleeping, the british government banning nsa leaker edward snowden from flying to the u.k.

committee gets to answer them and he's the man who should be able to provide the answers on the irs situation and update us on the investigation. >> steve: sure, because we've got a lot of questions. let's face it. we heard that there was targeting of tea party groups and whatnot. was it out of cincinnati? no, now we're hearing it's out of washington, d.c there are a lot of questions still unanswered. we understand there is an investigation by the f.b.i so yesterday was the chance for jim jordan, republican from ohio, to get some answers. he had great questions, but the director of the f.b.i. really didn't come loaded with any answers that satisfied mr. jordan. listen to this 56-second exchange. >> the agents, investigators you've assigned to the case. >> may be able to do that, but i'll have to get back to you. >> can you tell me who the lead investigator is. >> off the top of my head no. >> you don't know who is heading up the case to, who the lead investigator is? >> at this juncture, no. >> so you don't know who is

leading the case? >> i don't know who is leading. >> do you know if you've talked to any of the victims? have you talked to any of the groups targeted by their go of the? have you met with any of the tea party focus since may 13? >> i don't know what the status of the interviews are by the team that's on it. you're asking questions about details of the information. >> that's not a detail. that took place prior to the investigation! i'm asking basic questions about the investigation, like with is heading it up. you can't tell me that. you've had a month now to investigate. this has been the biggest story in the country and you can't even tell me who the lead investigator is? >> gretchen: we don't really know if it was a strategy of ignorance of some sort or was it a strategy of let's not really give that many answers 'cause we've seen what's happened in the past when you start to open up. or maybe he doesn't know. you would think ha if he didn't know, somebody could pass him a little note to say here is the name of the lead investigator. the most frustrating thing for the american public is not knowing these answers. if the people in charge are not

going to provide the answers, who is going to provide the answers to all of these lingering questions to up to four scandals right now? >> brian: this is why ray kelly was saying he gets very -- will say he gets frustrated with the f.b.i. and that's why they do their own investigating and put their own agents around the world because they don't seem to be getting the answers from the f.b.i. that he needs to on a timely basis. the communication between what was happening in boston and new york and other major cities wasn't taking place. so if you're responsible for the health and welfare action a lot of times these guys take it into their own hands. >> steve: and speak of the tea party, it turns out while the guy who runs the f.b.i., the director doesn't know about the investigation at the f.b.i., turns out a couple of lawyers who represent a number of the tea party organizations, jay sekulow and cleta mitchell were contacted by the daily caller and they said, hey, what has the f.b.i. asked you about so far during this investigation?

they go, we haven't been contacted by the f.b.i. yet. so why exactly are they slow walking the news over at the f.b.i.? good question. >> gretchen: with benghazi, remember the f.b.i. couldn't get it on the ground there for two weeks for a variety of reasons. could it be because they were so upset in libya, the leader was, because he had been embarrassed by calling it a terrorist attack and the united states was not calling it a terrorist attack. whatever the case is, there have been no arrests made with regard to who killed those four americans and here were more questions now for the f.b.i. director muller yesterday with regard to benghazi. >> the quicker you get to a crime scene, the better you're going to be able to investigate it and process it, right? >> absolutely. >> and the bureau did not get to the crime scene at benghazi for how long? >> two weeks. >> and why did the bureau not get to the crime scene in benghazi for two weeks? >> there were a number of factors. the first one relates to the

state of security in benghazi. there was no security. >> if benghazi was not safe enough for the premiere law enforcement agency in the world to go, how was it safe enough for us to send diplomats? >> steve: great question. maybe the administration knows the answers and doesn't want them out in public. >> brian: that wouldn't affect robert muller. i wouldn't think, because he's independent. but i would say this, the other questions, i don't think he has any idea about. i don't think he was covering up. i think he has no idea and seems to be no interest in the irs investigation. >> steve: that shows the priorities. >> brian: yeah. doesn't seem to have any interest in benghazi. and the crazy thing is, we actually heard them talking, we got the intercepts, maybe through the nsa. we know exactly where they were located for weeks, for months. they're now disbursed and gone. they are still walking around. it's been months and there is not one person, except a blurry overhead shot of two guys of interest. >> steve: that's what muller said yesterday.

well, we had some suspects and got some video. >> brian: right. >> steve: and? >> brian: here is rudy guiliani. he's disturbed by this. >> seems terribly disengaged. i mean, i was at the highest level of the justice department during the reagan administration for some very serious and very sensitive investigations. if you asked me who the lead investigator was, well, i have met with that guy probably about 20 times, so it would have been right on the tip of my tongue. i don't get it. you have this irs scandal going on, outrageous violation of people's rights. the director has to be on top of that. the f.b.i. director has to be knowing that's going on. you've got benghazi. i don't understand how they didn't get in there for two weeks. i've never heard of law enforcement officials not going to a crime scene because it's too dangerous. i mean, that's what law enforcement officials do. >> brian: he we want in great detail on how our system has already been compromised by what that 29-year-old exposed to

china and he does think he downloaded additional information that shows that it did get worse and the stuff that he has, he was not supposed to have access to nonresponsive they would know what -- >> gretchen: they would know what he downloaded by now. >> brian: they do know. >> gretchen: according to snowden, there will be more to come with that guardian newspaper. >> steve: maybe mr. muller will amend the record. maybe he'll send over the answers today. he just didn't want to be on camera answering the hard stuff nonresponsive coming up, it's called the affordable health care act. turns out the average american can't afford it. peter johnson, jr. will break down the numbers coming up next. >> brian: and you're supposed to open up the hangar before you park the plane, at least that's the way it says on the directions. we'll tell you what went wrong. ♪ help me if you can i'm feeling down ♪ ♪ and i do appreciate you being round ♪ ♪ help me get my feet back on the ground ♪ here's

>> steve: get this, obamacare causing major concerns on capitol hill and beyond because a change in subsidies could force congressional staffers and elected officials into early retirement. obamacare would because health care costs are getting worse for average americans. we've got peter johnson, jr. to break down the numbers. >> yeah. as my young daughter would say, about subsidies for congressional employees, wawa. please. come on. they shoved this down our throats, now they're saying,

we're going to have brain drain in congress. so smart, why did they recommend obamacare? so they're saying, americans, you get hurt if you're a restaurant, retail worker. someone making $21,000 a year. let's show the full screen. we can charge you as a company up to almost 10% of your income. so you can pay $2,000 in premiums on a $20,000 income. $4,000 in premiums on a $42,000 income. plus, 3,000 or 5,000-dollar deductible. are they kidding? so congress has the lowest rated percentage in history. the white house is saying, oh, no, we got to protect congress. we got to change this. we're figuring out a way to change the law. change the law? what about the hundreds of thousands and millions of americans who are not going to get the subsidyies, who once their corporation says, i'm offering a you this health insurance, it's overly expensive because the obama administration made it overly expensive, but

you can't get a subsidy like all the other people who aren't working. so you're working. you can't get health insurance. maybe you should go bankrupt. but at the same time, congress says, oh, no. we're going to work this out. these staff members are in terrible straits. something will happen to our country if we let these people -- so they're talking about in washington, d.c. today, quietly, they're saying, let's subsidize congress. >> steve: there is a double standard! for them there are rules. >> double standards? please. >> steve: double cross. >> keep talking about it. >> steve: peter johnson, jr., thank you. >> no subsidies for congress. >> steve: hear, hear. have a good weekend. >> steve: and happy father's day. >> and to you. great father's day. >> steve: thank you very much. meanwhile, he's a super bowl winner who respectfully decided not to go to the white house and now he's being attacked. you will hear from him coming up. and we're celebrating flag day with our own anna kooiman at the big flag factory.

>> steve: fox news alert. >> brian: nearly 100 people trying to watch the miami heat game, they get tossed in the water when the deck at the bar collapsed. that's the aftermath. brand-new video of the aftermath. now just in to "fox & friends," we see the full extent of the damage.

heather inaugurate here with the developing details. >> we've been watching this all through the night. witnesses describing the scene last night, this happened about 9:45 -- as pure pandemonium. one minute fans watching the miami heat-san antonio spurs basketball game. the very next, they heard some sort of an explosion that's been reported and then screams as the floor beneath all the patrons there just dropped right into biscayne bay. new video coming in showing the moments after it happened. look at this. those who were not injured turned into first responders. within seconds, they started pulling people out from underneath that crumpled deck. this happening at shucker's bar and grill in miami. 24 people have been hurt. two have seriously been hurt. and many people say they're still trying to get over the shock of it. >> freaking hand, i think something is wrong. i don't know.

>> it's very sad and very unfortunate and i just want to say thank you for all the resources that came out here immediately within minutes. >> last night then after the game and after all this happened, heat player duane wade said that his thoughts were with the victims last night. >> i want to share our concerns as an organization, for all that was injured tonight at shucker's restaurant. >> the good news coming out of this is that at this hour, everyone has been accounted for and an investigation into the cause of that is now underway. so we'll keep watching that and let you know what we find out. >> gretchen: thank you very much. thanks for that update. >> steve: amazing nobody drowned. >> gretchen: amazing that not more people were seriously hurt. now the other stories making headlines. the suspects at gitmo have more luxuries than most americans like a new soccer field we've told you about before. now one law maker says that that is enough. enough is enough.

>> these are people that are being detained as enemies of america. they don't have the same constitutional rights that american citizens have and the due process that we have under our constitution. these are people that in most cases have taken an oath to the demise of the united states. they're being treated rather humanely. they're being given better accommodations than they're used to at home. >> gretchen: ross proposed it in the defense authorization bill. >> steve: take a look at this. an airplane undergoing an engine test jumped over a device holding its wheel in place and plowed right into a hangar. happened at chino airport in california. the three mechanics on board and workers on the ground were not hurt. they're going to have to fix the hangar. >> brian: retired raven matt burke putting faith before football. he quietly turned down an invitation to visit with his team. they won the super bowl, they go. he says it would have gone against his beliefs as a

pro-life catholic. >> when you're the president and you're the first president to address planned parenthood, you can't acknowledge god and say god bless planned parenthood. 330,000 lives ended last year at planned parenthood and i just -- being pro choice is one thing. but bringing god into it, that's just too much for me to handle. >> brian: he wanted to go public with his decision, but some reporters noticed he was not there with his team, so they asked why. he said he wanted to tell the truth. not draw attention to himself. he was on with sean last night. >> gretchen: do you remember this? hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars going to study shrimp on a treadmill. government waste could get worse. staffers took a class on learning when to say i'm sorry and when to say i messed up. the class tried to show forgiving people are happier and calmer. next week there is a class on financial planning. no comment from the senate

sergeant at arms on how much the classes will cost. >> steve: you know what? rather than senate, maybe the irs should take that class and then after they learn how to say they're sorry, they should probably call the tea party groups that they spied on. >> brian: president started off saying he's sorry when he nominated tom daschle. we have not heard that since. sports has a lot to do with weather. mother nature reeking havoc on the u.s. open. delayed twice during rain delays. players hate that. through 13 holes, luke donnel leads the pack, one stroke ahead of phil mickleson. got off to a great start. tiger woods did not on many accounts. two over, but through ten, he's got to finish up. he seemed to hurt his wrist early yesterday. the last time he did that was the first time he played in the u.s. open. now in the hamptons, heard his wrist, had to bail out. the nsa is restricting what you can bring to stadiums. all large purses are band, coolers, backpacks this coming

season. only small clutch bags about the size of your hand and clear plastic will be allowed. why the strict policy change? league officials say the bag ban will provide a safer environment for the fans. >> steve: also bring a lot of money 'cause everything out there is very expensive. meanwhile, we've got an extreme weather alert. the clean-up continues today after deadly storms tore through the mid-atlantic thursday. you're looking at montgomery county, maryland near washington, d.c at least three tornadoes were reported there in maryland. maria molina is outside where it is dry in anticipation of foreigner, which kicks off in about, what, 15 minutes. >> as soon as i stop talking giving the weather report and we have the commercial break. you can see so many people out here. thankfully the weather is keeping us dry. we had a couple of light showers and drizzle throughout the

morning hours. but again, much, much better right now staying dry. everyone, head out if you're not here just yet. 48th and 6th avenue. we did get a lot of rain over parts of the midwest into the northeast, three, four, even locally higher amounts of rainfall were reported. that's why we were talking about flooding being a huge concern. the rain coming to an end in boston. it's going to be drier and much nicer as we head into tomorrow. a brand-new storm system that we are tracking, we want to talk about from minnesota through parts of kansas where we could be looking at severe weather. temperatures south of the system, very hot. well into the 90s. 97 degrees will be the high temperature in the city of dallas. much cooler here in new york city. low 70s expected later on today. back inside. steve, gretchen and brian. brian, by the way, you didn't mention that the heat won in the last sports update. >> brian: off to a slow start and great finish. it's tied at two games apiece. >> that's right. and i'm very confident that we'll pull through and bring home the gold. >> steve: she's from miami. that explains her point of view.

thank you. >> gretchen: new warning on prozac, what just happened in a study that has scientists very concerned. >> steve: we're celebrating flag day and the men and women who protect it and what they stand for. how you can celebrate army week coming up next. >> brian: that's general john campbell, vice chief of staff, u.s. army. >> steve: not far from him right now outside is ali with a preview of what happens. good morning. what's happening this weekend? >> we have a great show coming up this weekend. what if the key to lasting love was a nasal spray? doctors believe they may just have found a wonder love drug. we'll explain that. then of course, every bride is nervous on her wedding day. but look at this one. she was not expecting the attack of star wars. that is an awesome wedding picture. it's gone viral. we're going to have those happy newlyweds with us when they join us live. first, it is the summer concert series and foreigner is here. you guys ready for more foreigner?
