>> and new day in iran as the nation selects a president. we will tell you who won the job to succeed ahmadinejab and how the u.s. is reacting. >> but first, progress against the most destructive wildfire in colorado state history. this deadly blaze killing at least two people, burning hundreds of homes to the ground and forcing thousands to evacuate. one evacuee says his neighbors were literally escaping through the flames. >> we kind of hung out. the wind shifted north and the smoke was so bad, it was mandatory to leave. this house was the third to go. they just got right out, the girl got on her horse running through the flames, getting out as quick as they could. they lost everything. >> alicia is live in colorado springs with the latest. hi. >> hi, gregg. in all that destruction, there is some encouraging news in. the crews say they have now

reached 45% containment in this fire that has taken 473 homes so far. it is that number that makes this the most destructive wildfire in the state's history. firefighters say they feel like they have made a good deal of progress since this blaze began on tuesday but still have a long way to go and the weather which has been a huge factor can always change, which is part of the reason they are keeping those evacuation orders in place for some. take a listen here to the sheriff. >> we have had some breaches with people. i'm going to reach out to the community and i'm going to ask folks, please don't sneak in. please don't come through the woods and all the ways you know how to circumvent our blocks. when it is safe and we can open it up, we want to open it up. but there is a process to do that. >> resources have continued to come into colorado for this fight. crews are trying to tie off some lines that they have managed to hold. they're also mopping up areas around homes that they have been

protecting. arson investigators are working in the burn area to figure out exactly where this thing started. officials say they believe someone ignited this. the question now is was it on purpose or was it an accident? some of the mandatory evacuations have been lifted, but tens of thousands of people still remain out of their homes. today authorities acknowledged that people are getting impatient. they're trying the best they can. but a lot of folks want to get in there to see what, if anything, they have left to return to. gregg? >> such a sad story. so many families have lost everything. allall right. we'll check back with you. thanks so much. lots of people paying attention to the weather forecast across the country as a result. strong storms threats across huge parts of the central u.s. large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes could hit the areas. meteorologist janis dean is live for us in the fox severe weather center with the latest. >> we have an extreme weather alert for colorado springs where we could see the potential for

large hail, damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes. just to add insult to injury for those in wildfire danger. severe thunderstorm watch in effect for parts of northeastern colorado, including colorado springs where we have that destructive wildfire burning. the good news is they could get some moisture in the atmosphere, which will help firefighters. the bad news is because it's so dry, a lot of that moisture just could evaporate and we could be left with dry thunderstorms, which could in turn spark more wildfire danger. so severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 9:00 p.m. local time, including colorado springs and denver. we have a severe thunderstorm warning north and east of colorado springs. so again, good news about the moisture. bad news is we could see some thunder and lightning and gusty winds, which could spark more wildfire danger. also across the central u.s., north and east of kansas city, severe thunderstorm warnings here with heavy downpours as well. so your severe threat through this afternoon and this evening

continues for parts of colorado, through the central plains, up towards the great lakes, all of these areas, all of these big cities could see damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes. we will certainly keep you up to date. of course, where we have that large destructive wildfire, those conditions are going to continue to hinder wildfire efforts in some cases throughout the workweek as we are expecting the threat for dry thunderstorms over the workweek and that could mean more wildfire danger. so we'll keep you up to date. back to you, hetter and gregg. >> thank you very much. janis dean reporting for us. the burning glare on the spotlight is squarely now back on the attorney general, eric holder. he's fending off allegations that he misled congress. mr. holder will meet behind closed doors next week with a house judiciary committee looking to clarify earlier testimony on the justice department's surveillance of american journalists, including fox news reporter james rosen.

molly henneberg is live in washington with more on that. hi, molly. >> hi, gregg. attorney general eric holder will meet with lawmakers privately sometime next week and answer questions in writing for the house judiciary committee by the close of business on wednesday. house judiciary committee chairman, bob goodlatte, say they're giving him a second chance to clarify his may testimony on the james rosen leak investigation, specifically why holder appeared to tell lawmakers that he did not approve of that type of investigation. later it was revealed holder signed the search warrant. congressman said in a statement, quote, after learning of the rosen warrant, it was clear his, meaning holder's testimony, deserved further scrutiny. hopefully holder is forthright so we can put an end to his seemingly misleading statements. the search warrant signed by holder allowed investigators to search rosen's e-mail and phone records and review his comings

and goings from the state department. prior to that search warrant becoming public, holder was asked about the rosen leak investigation on may 15 and here is what he said. >> with regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that i've ever been involved with, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy. >> the department of justice followed up that statement by saying rosen was never prosecuted, so holder's statement is accurate. gregg? >> molly henneberg in washington, thanks. and today in washington, social conservatives gathered for a faith and freedom coalition conference. a who's who of republican leaders and among today's speakers, texas governor rick perry, herman cain, and sarah palin. earlier she discussed the recent government controversies. take a listen. >> the problem isn't bureaucrats

trickle. this as a brand-new fox news poll shows about 68% of americans think the irs scandal is at least in some part, directly tied to the white house. let's bring in our political panel, d.d., and mark, democratic strategist who is a former campaign aide to barak obama and john kerry. thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> heather: so we are five weeks out from the agency's first disclosure that it had singled out tea party groups seeking tax exempt status. the irs says they have gathered the equivalent of 64 million pages worth of documents and the gop says this is far from over. dd, what is the fallout from continuing this investigation? >> it's going to be big fallout for the obama administration. i think this is -- there are so many scandals to pick from, but this is by far the worst one because this affects everyone. no one likes the way the irs operates and they're fearful that they may be targeted

because these groups were. that's so unamerican and it is just an unbelievable problem with the government. so yeah. i think this is not going to go away because the constituencies are going to demand it. and if this came from the white house, big, big trouble for the administration. >> heather: mark, what do you think? they say we've just begun. >> i think the key word is if this came from the white house, there will be big trouble. but as you said, heather, this has been going on, this investigation by darrell issa and the house oversight committee for five weeks. and the only news that's really newsworthy here is you have, for example, the most influential conservative, republicans, senator lindsey graham saying there is no link between this and the white house. you have conservative republican working at the irs saying there is no link between this and the white house. so we have the house oversight doing is basically putting up a side show showing the irs overpaid for hotel rooms, or misused credit cards from the government. which are all absolutely something we should investigate. but it's a bigtraction from the real issue which is the

integrity of the irs. so far the reason main stream media hasn't been investigating this that much is because the committee, house oversite committee hasn't presented evidence. >> heather: i want to talk about the integrity word. when robert mueller says he doesn't know who is in charge of the f.b.i. investigation into the irs, how seriously do we take the president when he promises to get to the bottom of this? what does the white house stand to gain or lose by cooperating with congressional investigators? >> there are three different investigations happening here. one is the doj that you mentioned, so he should know who is leading that investigation. but there is the congressional investigation happening as well and the i.g. report. the i.g. report came back and showed that even while there was wrongdoing at the irs, none of that was politically motivated nor necessarily tied to the obama administration. and as i mentioned before, darrell issa's committee hasn't been able to find evidence. >> heather: that depends on who

you listen to in terms of the partial transcripts that have been released, isn't that correct, dd, the partial transcript you listened to -- there is a link and then you listen to the other side and they say there is not. should the full transcripts be released? >> yes, of course. rand paul saying he seems to have inside information that there is some criminality here. if there is no problem, if there is nothing to hide, then why don't we go ahead with the investigation? president obama should be the number one person who wants this. so it will be clear. what's the problem if nothing bad happened? if it didn't come from the white house, let's find out for sure. also, let's remember the line dancing and let's also remember that mr. spock and the klingon and i'm sure they think they're going to do a bang up job, let's make absolute leisure. >> heather: i don't think anybody would disagree with that. mark? >> i agree. in fact, president obama on day one that this came out, he was the first one to say he was going to cooperate and instruct his administration to cooperate fully with congress.

he's shared american's outregion. he used that term in description of these acts of targeting, using search terms to target groups for their tax exempt status. >> nothing is really happening. >> is channeling the president's outrage. nothing is happening because darrell issa and the committee are completely impotent politically and can't figure out what's going on. frankly, i think it's a waste of taxpayer money at this point. >> mark, how can you say this when these people were targeted in all republican groups were targeted. this is the -- americans don't like it. >> heather: i want to mention this, no evidence, but yet it has just been five weeks and congressman jim jordan of ohio, he said it took eight months to get a key figure on the ground in libya to testify. and if you compare that to the investigation going on with the irs, it took that amount of time to get, you know -- was it greg hicks to testify. we still haven't heard from

these unnamed cincinnati workers blamed for all of this. >> they're upset about that that they're getting the blame. they're saying the underlings didn't know what they were doing. are they inept or political targeting? why does the f.b.i. director not know what's going on? how does he not know that? it's fishy. everybody is deflecting. there is something that we don't know. we need to uncover that. >> heather: mark? >> i think that dd said before, i don't know what darrell issa is hiding, why he's not releasing these transcripts publicly. i think he's making these accusations and when you do this, i mean, our unemployment is at 7.5%. we're about to get involved in a civil war in syria. we're at war in afghanistan. all these things are happening. if you're going to start making accusations about the administration while we're at war -- >> it's only been five weeks. >> have some transparency and i don't know what darrell issa is hiding. the president -- >> darrell issa isn't hiding anything. what are you talking about? >> one worker in cincinnati

claims the directive came from washington. so we'll see if the full transcripts are released. >> we need to find out the truth. >> let's be clear, we're talking about the washington office of the irs. not necessarily the white house. let's be very clear with that. >> heather: people polled say they believe the investigation should continue. i guess we're not wrapping it up. thank you both for joining us. tomorrow a can't miss fox news sunday in an exclusive interview, former vice president dick cheney weighs in on the nsa spying controversy, and the other scandals rock the nation's capitol. that is tomorrow on fox news sunday, check local listings for the time and channel in your area. >> gregg: are we really done? >> heather: i think we're done. unless they have something else to say. >> gregg: a possible medical breakthrough against one of the most common and deadliest cancers. doctors unveiling a new drug that they say could help stop the disease in its tracks. >> heather: plus, riot police charging on thousands of protesters with water cannons

we have been interested in estrogen receptor, a major target in breast cancer for years. it's the primary target of most of the therapies out there for breast cancer. we realized in late stage disease that the estrogen receptor remain has target, even though tactical therapies failed. we decided to rather than wait around to discover brand-new drugs, was look at drugs sitting in the drawers for the last ten or 15 years and really made the rather remarkable surprise that a drug, which has haven'tly been approved in europe, has all the characteristics of the drug we really want to treat end stage breast cancer. >> gregg: what is the name of the drug, doctor, and which breast cancer patients would benefit the most from it? >> correct. so the drug is called b. >> adoxifin. developed by pfizer pharmaceuticals for the treatment of osteoporosis. and what we ended up finding was that it would be useful for patients who have failed standard endocrin therapy.

patients who progressed on the standard drugs. in previous -- up to now, what really is being considered is that at the end of this therapy, a woman had to go on to classical chemotherapy. and this type of drug, which actually destroys the estrogen receptor, has been a holy grail and it was sitting this all the time. >> heather: so doctor, what is next for the drug? what happens next in terms of its use? >> yes. so first of all, the drug has been approved for osteoporosis in europe. and that's exciting because near term clinical trials or clinical use of this drug is possible. i do know that the drug is up in front of the f.d.a. for registration for osteoporosis and we're hoping that after this exciting data that we've just recently published, that the manufacturers of the drug will be encouraged to test this in trials of late stage breast cancer. >> gregg: so as i understand it, this osteoporosis drug, not really intended originally for

breast cancer, it attacks the estrogen receptor, which is a critical component that leads to breast cancer. so are there some other drugs that also hit the receptor? >> yeah. so all endocrin therapies, they actually hit the estrogen receptor in different ways. what this drug does, though, is rather than just blocking the action of the estrogen receptor, it totally obliterates the receptor and takes it out of the equation. completely different. there is one drug on the market that is approved that does the same thing. the problem with that is that it's a great drug in theory. but it's pharmaceutical properties have really limited its use. this drug is an orally available drug. not classical therapy. it's another endocrin therapy in the next stage, in the treatment of a chronic disease. >> heather: doctor, just the sound of your voice, you're expressing, you seem very, very hopeful. no doubt breast cancer patients

who are sitting at home watching this are hopeful, too. how can they get involved in some of these trials and what can they do if they want to find out more information? talk to their doctor? >> i assume so. so the issue right now is that the drug is approved in europe for osteoporosis. i expect it will be approved in the united states for osteoporosis. and what we're hoping is that when the pharmaceutical company digests the information from our lab and that other lab they're showing the same thing, that they'll be moved to do clinical trials very quickly in late stage breast cancer. >> gregg: doctor, congratulations at duke. one of the great universities in research facilities as well on this incredible discovery. you're giving a lot of people great hope. thanks for being with us to share the new information. >> appreciate it. and thank you very much for covering the story. thank you. >> heather: great news today. >> gregg: really is. >> heather: we are getting an update on a ten-year-old's recovery after receiving a lung transatlanta this week.

>> gregg: the nsa data mining scandal, well, it has many americans questioning our 4th amendment rights. the secret court that allows this type of surveillance began in 1978. over the years, secret requests for surveillance have certainly gone up, but denials of those requests have stayed extremely low. in fact, almost nonexistent. so how do we make sure the laws meant to protect our society keep up with the technology we use every day? susan estridge joins us, professor of law and political science at the university of southern california-usc, a fox news contributor as well. great to see you. in your column, you write that the chances of a judge saying no to a warrant in this program is about one in 4,000. so i had our brain room pull the record dating back to 1978 and

you're just about right. they almost never deny it. why is that? >> well, i don't blame them. put yourself in their position. you're a judge. you're sitting there. the government comes to you and they say look. we need to wire tap this telephone. we need access to these records because it's a matter of literally national security, potential terrorism. we have probable cause to believe this individual may be associated with other individuals who may be engaged in a plot against the security of americans, your kids, my kids, our families. you're the judge. there is only one answer you can give and that answer is yes. you look what happened in boston when it came out that one of the alleged -- i think we can say, one of the killers there had been on an f.b.i. list earlier in time and people were outraged. why did you let this guy go? i mean, imagine being the judge

who is sitting there who said no to a 9-11 terrorist. you give up. >> gregg: yeah. you wrote a column about this. it's called "privacy matters." people should read it. it's a terrific column. you write about correctly the expectation of privacy under the famous katz versus u.s. case. that was about the content of conversations and people eavesdropping on that. this, however, is on its face, it's data collection, meta data, and under smith versus maryland, 1979, the court said there is no 4th amendment privacy right for phone records held by a third party. in fact, let me quote. we'll put it up on the screen. here is what the court ruled. we doubt that people in general entertain any actual expectation of privacy in the numbers they dial. all telephone users realize they must convey phone numbers to the telephone company since it's through telephone companies switching equipment that their

calls are completed. susan, the same principle applies to the internet because that's handled by third party as well. third party service providers. so would you agree that at least in terms of this data collection, there is no privacy protection here? >> well, there is no privacy protection. the question of whether there is an expectation of privacy i think is very different. i think there is a bit of a generational divide here. i've been talking to people, you're of course, much younger. i've been talking to people my age and a lot of people my age say who thought this was private? then i talked to my kids and they are kind of shocked and horrified and angry because they were brought up, i think to believe this they sign those terms of usage and the company said we respect your privacy, and that somehow when they went on-line and they had conversations, and not to say there was anything wrong or unlawful, but i think a lot of

people have been under the impression that what they say on-line and what they do on-line and what web sites they go to, that that's private. >> gregg: i think that's a mistakeen impression. >> you and i both. >> gregg: you argue in your column that if the nsa program has saved lives, then you're for it. if it hasn't, you're outraged. should the information about its success be as senator feinstein argues, declassified so americans like yourself can judge for themselves? >> well, maybe. but the counterargument is look, this is one of those hard ones. like you, i like to have an opinion. i like to think i know where i stand. but if you do say to me that this data mining program has saved lives of americans, then you can have my internet records. go see what's in it.

the problem with declassifiesing, and this is a debate i also don't know the answer to -- is some people say if we start declassifying too much of this, then the emchassis of the program is going to suffer because after all, if we give a road map of exactly what we're doing, the very people who we're trying to insure don't hurt us are going to get that same road map and just their conduct otherwise. >> gregg: the trouble is, snowden has already given them the road map. >> yeah. he's the one i'm really mad at. i really think -- what really outrages me is that somebody with so little loyalty and so little judgment could have been in that position. but i think at the end of the day, the best i can say to people is it does matter who runs this government. it does matter who runs these companies. we should care about that. >> gregg: susan estridge, as always, many, many thanks. appreciate it. don't forget you can read susan's syndicated column in
