8:00 am
>> next week, viagra. >> wash your hands. a lot of reaction to the age groups, what you should get checked at what age. that's going to be on foxnews.com and i will tweet it and on facebook. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. happy fathers day, to all the dads at home as well. snoop we begin a new hash with a fox news alert. top u.s. intelligence officials are crediting the controversial nsa surveillance program with saving lives and stopping more terror attacks than they first claimed, ax tacks that were potentially being plotted here -- at home -- and around the globe. good morning and happy fathers day. i'm eric shawn. i'm heather childers, in for jamie colby. the details are classified, but we may be learning more as early as tomorrow and lawmakers from
8:01 am
both sides of the aisle are responding to the latest claims. steve centanni is live in washington with more. steve. >> reporter: former vice-president dick cheney, one of the architects of our current security arrangement said that nsa leaker eric snowden is a traitor and that president obama is wrong when he says the war on terrorism is winding down. >> first of all, he's wrong. it is not winding down. if you look at part of the world that is available as safe harbor sanctuary for terrorists and botched ooh tacks against the united states, it runs across north africa. all the places that the muslim brotherhood has come to power. the threat's bigger than ever. and we have the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. >> reporter: intelligence community briefed congress on the justification for the surveillance programs and claimed that dozens of terrorist
8:02 am
attacks were prisoned, though few details were given. cheney supports the program and the need for secrecy, but many on both sides of the aisle think our civil liberties are in danger of compromise. >> i think weie the american people to have a full debate in the open about the extent of this these programs. have you a law interpreted secretly by a secret court that issued secret orders to generate a secret program. i just don't think this is an american approach to a world in which we have great threats. >> reporter: intelligence officials say more information may be declassified soon, back to you. >> steve centanni live from washington. thank you. for more on this and whether the release of this classified information could in fact do more harm than good, we will speak with congressman peter king, a member of the homeland security committee, 30 minutes from now, so stay tuned for that. >> another fox news alert to
8:03 am
tell you about, breaking news, dealing with north cray. the white house announced it will meet tuesday with officials from south korea and japan to discuss north korea's new offer to hold nuclear talks. you know,ar starving its citizens, throwing countless pipe into work camps, exploding three nuclear devices and firing missiles in violation of international accords, the president wants to talk. the white house has said they must first abide by the united nations security council resolutions and international accords. what is up with them? a former senior adviser to the state department and author of the book, smart power, between diplomacy and war. christian, good morning. why this offer? and why this sunday morning? >> well, eric, it is not uncommon for north korea to offer talks, especially after a cycle of delinq rent conduct
8:04 am
aimed at japan and south korea and belligerent words. here in the united states, you know, the white highways -- white house says that they have to comply, but we have let the chinese ignore all of those. probably north korea thinks that john kerry wants to re-start talks and there are akinori iwamuras -- there are murmurs of that. >> eric: what would the talks achieve? >> nothing. we don't have a strategy. talks are not a strategy. they may be a feature. but talks, whether they are bilateral between the u.s. and north korea or multi-party talks were the big thing in the last decade. north korea's terrific at using those to extract goodies from us and from south korea in particular. again, there is really not a lot
8:05 am
of clarity on where the united states wants to go [overlapping dialogue] >> eric: is this more of that same behavior, what they have always done? >> that's right. that's their thing. so we go running around saying we are not going to recognize north korea as a nuclear weapons power. we can say the sun doesn't rise in the east, yet, there it is every morning. we ought to focus on making trouble through non-violent means, rather than talking them out of their nuclear arsenal snowe are not going to talk them out of their nuclear arsenal. remember in the 90s isn't clinton administration made that deal -- we will give them food and fuel and they will stop all missile and nuclear programs and they lied. they didn't abide by it. so why trust anything they say? >> you shouldn't. the same people involved in the six-party talk who is misled president bush, saying that china was leaning on north korea and north korea was complying, the same characters in washington, unfortunately, are
8:06 am
at it again. north korea's in a better position than it was in the last decade because of dramatically increased trade with china. china will tell us they issue pressuring to change. a lot of bridges, literally being built across the river. so north korea's, unfortunately na better position than before. >> eric: if i'my, they talk about the talks on tuesday, sitting down with japan and south korea. do you think anything will ever come of this? do you see any hainch in the behavior? or is this their modeus operandi as it has for decades? >> north korea has been rewarded for its behavior. it's saying to south korea, killing a number of sailors in recent years, shelled south korea, paid no price for that. so it knows it can act out approximate trade with its wong ally, economic and political ally, until we start, you know, recognizing the rights of the
8:07 am
north korean people and encouraging them in their pursuit of their rights, make trouble, you know, wage nonviolent warfare against this government as we did against other communist governments in the cold war, that would be a game changer. until then, these talks are not going to lead anywhere. >> eric: maybe depis rodman achieves more over there. christian, thanks so much. we will see what happens when the talks start with our allies over the next 48 hours and if anything can are be achieved. >> a new round of demonstrations in turkey follows a night of violence. officers fires water cannons on protesters today, after they defied government warnings against new sit-ins in istanbul. last night, police cleared protesters out of a park, driving demonstrators into the city streets. the protesters set up barricades and took cover in the lobby of a luxury hotel. in the capitol, police used
8:08 am
force to disperse a memorial for a protester killed in a previous demonstration. >> eric: it has been a deadly day across iraq. nearly a dozen bomb attacks have occurred. shootings have killed at least 32 people so far and injured dozens of others. these attacks have hit half a dozen cities and towns and appear to have been coordinated because of that number. most of the car bomb, they said, targeted shiite muslims. but so far there has been no claim of specific responsibility. another story, a terrifying plane trip for passengers from egypt to new york city. their flight, which was bound for jfk was forced to land in britain. there you see it on the ground in the egypt airplane on the ground. a passenger on board that flight found a threatening letter in the bathroom. authorities say that letter said, quote, i'll set this plane on fire. fighter jets have escortedñi the
8:09 am
plane to glasgow for hours. there was an extensive search of the plane, it was allowed to continue to new york, after authorities found nothing suspicious, but passengers were certainly frightened. >> it was really scary. it was really scary to be sitting on the plane and the flight crew told us that there was a night that was found in the bathroom with a pen that was -- a bomb threat. to be sitting on a plane for four hours. >> eric: security officials are, of course, looking into exactly what happened. and who may have put the note on the plane. >> thank you. attorney general eric holder, under fire over questionable testimony before congress. some lawmakers say that there are discrepancies between his testimony and his decision to authorize a search warrant for the emails of fox news reporter james rosen's emails. now in the latest fox news poll, 52% of americans said they believe attorney general holder
8:10 am
should resign. joining us now is former jeb bush spokesman justin safiand the president of new heights communications and a former spokesperson for howard dean. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> just to let everyone know at home, in case they haven't heard, the attorney general said under oath that he knew nothing of -- and this is a quote-- the potential prosecution of the press, days later. it emerged that holder was involved in his department's successful effort to obtain fox news reporter james rosen's personal emails. the justice department sought access to the documents, arguing that rosen was a likely criminal co-conspirator in a leak case. i will start with you, christy. did the attorney general lie? should he resign? >> well, i think the question of whether he should resign will come down on partisan lines. the problem with the administration, heather, is that up until now, this has been
8:11 am
mostly a partisan issue and that's slightly changing. up until now, if you think it's a good thing that eshic holder -- if you think of him as a historical figure, the first african-american attorney general, if you like that he has gone after voter suppression tactics and if you support the president, you probably support eric holder. if you don't like president obama, you probably don't like iric hoilder. that has been changing of late. have you seen over the nsa spying issue, a number of democrats and liberal media publications like the huffington post and others calling for his resignation. so there is a an alliance between the liberals and the conservatives and that's a problem for the administration. >> justin, how much of a political liability is the attorney general for the obama administration? >> he's a big liability. when have you 52% of the american people in the poll that
8:12 am
you just showed that says he had resign, at some point, the american people are going to ask, why is president obama letting him stay in office? especially when the questions keep coming up over and over and one over again about whether he has been transparent with the representatives in congress. that's a big like the because the president has prided himself on wanting to have the most transparent administration. and yet, at this point, with all the questions raised about benghazi and the a.p. access to reporters and what they did with james rosent and testimony to congress is starting to look like the least transparent administration. >> justin, i have to ask you the question that you just said yourself, why does he still have his job? >> well, i think, look, it's always difficult when have you to let go or tell someone in the administration, they have to risign. but the new york times reportedded that they believe that they have information that eric holder has two protectors in the white house, one is the senior adviser, valerie jaret
8:13 am
and as well as eric holder's wife has become very good friends with the first lady, michelle obottom a. at some point, the personal relationships have to give way to the best interest of the country and what is in the best interest of the president. if i were advising the president, i would ask the president to seriously consider asking eric holder to leave -- he's too much baggage, it isn't worth. >> it what about the g.o.p. in and the political implications? >> there is a danger for republicans over-playing the hand here. the public is not stupid. neither is the president. they know that the republicans did not just start hating eric holder yesterday or with the recent issues. this goes back years. you can look alta year ago and see jon corzine asking for his resignation there. the republicans have treated with disrespect, calling him incompetent, questioning his
8:14 am
intelligence. he's a columbia law grad. he's obviously quite intelligent. the danger for republicans is overplaying the hands and making it look like a witch-hunt and not about the recent issues at hand. >> justin, you get the last word. >> this is not a partisan issue, this is an american issue. eric holder is the top law enforcement officer in the administration. the republicans and democrats should expect the highest level of ethics and transparency. if they don't get that, the republicans and democrats should demand that he go. >> we will see if we get some answer this is week. >> great to be here. >> thanks, heather. >> >> eric: heather, coming up, he was held in iran, an iconic american hostage. but did you know that by law, they can't squeeze the iranians for a nickel. here next, bare rosen and his wife on a fathers day push by the victims' families to make iran pay up. justice for the hostages.
8:15 am

8:18 am
>> eric: with a new president-elect in iran, some of the nation's victims are speaking out in a decades-long effort to get justice. the children and spouses of the 52 americans held hostage there
8:19 am
in 1979 are sending a powerful fathers day message today to a group of u.s. senators. they want to hold iran accountable for the attack and standoff that lasted 444 days and forever changed u.s./iranian lessons. it was depicted in a movie, "argo." but there was a treaty signed by president carter that prevents the former hostages from collecting any damages from iran. a new senate bill could offer hope with this. here in the studio is one of those host arjs barry rosen, a press attache' if that siege. barry, so good to see you. barbara, happy fathers day. have you grandchildren now. it's great to see nuperson. it's astounding. under the algiers accord, as you know, companies got billions of dollars from tehran in this
8:20 am
deal, but you guys got didley squat. you can't sue at all. why did this happen? >> the accords were made, i think because president carter knew or perceived the fact that there was no other way to get us out but by agreeing to iran's statement that american hostages were not going to be compensated. once that happened, we were never permitted to litigate anything in the court. for many years, state and justice always supported iran in the courts against us. >> eric: do they have a legal point or do you think look -- i mean, iran is violating u.d -- u.n. security council sanks. >> according to accords, they weren't supposed to be violating anything and it could have been abrogated. but the administration wanted to make sure that the treaty powers were never touched. so the state department and justice were always opposed to
8:21 am
us. >> eric: can't they do something about this and say, look, tehran, have you not -- you have not abided by international accords and we are scraping this and we are going to sue. >> we would have hoped. but it never did. the accords have been obrogated so many times. but that's water under the bridge. we have been told over and over again. we have been through this -- for the past 17 years now, trying to get some measure of justice. it hopefully, this is a new way of approaching the problem. this new law, justice for americans held hostage in iran is a unique piece of legislation. it doesn't have the taxpayer pay a dime. actually, we are taking a surcharge on all iranian sanctions against iran. so with that money, we will be
8:22 am
able to get compensated and it will not hurt the american public at all. >> eric: the bill isn'tr in the senate is -- just to explain -- 30% penalties for companies that break the sanks and that means that there could potentially be some justice. >> an interesting story. when barry first came home, we were invited to a dinner -- i think it had to do with the -- soviet jewelry. it was a new york real estate tycoon who slapped barry on the back and said, i got everything i ever invested out of iran, what did you get? you know what -- what did we get? we have gotten 444 days of pain and suffering by the hostages, by the family, by the children, by the mothers, by the extended families. and 30-odd years now of further suffering because the stories -- if you knew -- just a part of
8:23 am
the stories of what the families have gone through -- we-- the both of us have been lucky. we went through some really hard times over the years. you know, especially had he first came home. but we are together, we raised our children, we have grandchildren and we celebrate them. but there are so many families, so many families that everything fell apart for. the children -- don't have any relationship with the parent, with the father that they loved and wanted to come home. where issue they? who has been there to help? who has been there to give some kind of mental health help for what we have all gone through. >> eric: you are living through this every day. a lot of us saw argo and that reminded us what happened. barry, does it haunt you, every day? do you live with it every day? have you put it whined you? >> no. i can't put it behind me. it's with me fll i pass away, i think.
8:24 am
it's taken a lot out of me. it's taken a lot of -- who i am out of me. but i try very hard. day in and day out to sort of focus on what is going on. the captivity really changed my whole life and my life will be changed ever since. the things i used to dream and hope for when i was in captivity, just a gentle thing of seeing my children once again, seeing my wife again, taking these little trips together. it never happened that way. and i always felt that i needed some assistance, both through they werey and otherwise, to make it. since hia solid family, i was very, very lucky. but our children were deeply affected by it all, very, very much so. >> when he came home, the children would not go out with him. if you had a father who disappeared for 444 days, you haven't seen him.
8:25 am
now he wants to take you out, are you going to go with him? no. the kids absolutely refused. it was the two children and me and barry was the -- interloper. he didn't fit into what was our family anymore. and that was so sad. you know, decisions that we well to make. he wanted to have a career in the foreign service. i said, absolutely not. you want to go, you go yourself, i am not taking the kids out of the country. they were 2 and 4 at the time. you know, things got really -- really difficult between us. >> eric: it is your personal story. i am so glad you came in today. god bless you both. your families and what you have gone through. the senate bill, a bipartisan bill, for this bill. so, i know america's pulling for you. god bless and you thank you so much. >> eric: absolutely. happy fathers day. >> coming up, american edward
8:26 am
snowden, hiding hiding in hong g after leaking details of a vast undercover operation by the nsa. now there are turnover concerns that he may divulge more information that hurts the u.s., congressman peter king is next. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.
8:27 am
8:28 am
8:29 am
8:30 am
>> welcome back. top u.s. intelligence officials crediting the nsaee data mining program with stopping 20 terror plots in the u.s. and around the world. but now, after a flood of leaks about the program, do potential terrorists know too much? did is it ooh does it put the u.s. at risk? congressman peter king is a member of the homeland security committee and subcommittee on counter terrorism and intelligence. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you, heather. congressman king, the bottom line, is our security now at
8:31 am
risk as a result of these leaks? >> i strongly believe that it is. i was in classified meeting with general alexander and other intelligence community officials. clearly, this has put us at risk tgives the details to the enemy which they didn't have before t. will make others more reluctant to cooperate with us. and also, our allies who had hoped that this would remain secret, could be less likely to cooperate with us as well. so also, we don't know what else is he -- he is giving to the chinese, are -- now that snowden is in china. he says he has information on all cia operatives, it's like he is holding a gun to our head. so i am very concerned. >> i want to ask you more about him specifically. we have vice-president dick chaino "fox news sunday" today. he says that snowden is a traitor. he wonders whether high is a
8:32 am
chinese spy. he believes he may have had help. what charges do you believe the circumstances are surrounding snowden? >> first of all, i do consider lim a traitor. now, legally, that's difficult to prove. there are standards of proof. but morally, i consider him a traitor. as far as laws he's violated, i believe he could have violated the spean spean -- espionage act. there are felonies he has committed. i think it's really wrong with the media and the politics, calling him a hero. he has put american lives at risk. also, you know, vice-president chiney was talking about his relationship with china. i know that chairman mike rogers of the intelligence committee has raised issues about certain connections that snowden has had with china, why he went there, what dealings he had, so that is really a very open
8:33 am
investigation, as far as i'm concerned as far as why he went to china and why he planned this. even if it's just by happenstance, he is giving informs, that's added felonies, to make clearly a series of felonies. >> what about this glen greenwald, who wrote the article in "the guardian"? >> i think first of all, people who call themselves journalists shouldn't have a blanket immunity. if during world war ii, journalists, under the freedom of the press, released information regarding the code-breaking with the japanese or the germans, that -- i don't see how that could have been tolerated f. journalist his found out, after the raid to -- kill osama bin laden or seize osama bin laden, if they had disclosed that as the helicopters were going over
8:34 am
pakistan. there need to be limits -- we need to have an intelligent debate and not say that reporters have an absolute right to publish anything that has been given to them. with the pentagon papers, for instance, the justice saying he would vote to affirm the conviction of someone for releasing classified information. i don't believe it's an absolute right. i think it should be very, very seldom looked at. but if have you serious, serious violations of national security, i don't think the reporters should happening they have nothing to be concerned about. >> congressman peter king, thank you for joining us, along with the questions that people have that will continue to develop on this story. thank you. >> heather, thank you. >> eric: it turns out that edward snowden is only the late nest a long list ever intelligence agents or official who is have revealed government secrets n. a long career, liz trotta has met some of the others. now for a look beyond the news,
8:35 am
here's the commentary. >> america's latest straighter joins a colorful tradition of spy who is have turned on their country. before edward snowden, aldrich ames, robert hanson and john walker jr., all work in the service of america before the rot set in. all remain in prison. one notorious spy who avoided incarceration became a toast of the left in the 1970s and remain in the cold for most of his adult life. a man without a country, after the u.s. revoked his passport. later, cuba became his substitute him. his weakness for women and spirits led him into the clutches of the soviet spy apparatus in latin america, encouraged by the eager sponsors, he wrote a sensational book about his adventure, entitled, inside the company, a
8:36 am
cia diary. in it, he appended names of 250 agents, working for the cia, across the world. much later, soviet defectors would reveal that the kgb had helped him with the book, operationally and financially. many of the intelligence community blamed him for the assassination of cia station chief richard welch by greek terrorists, the very year his book came out. he always insisted that selling out his country constituted a matter of conscience. he despised the u.s. support of military regimes in south america, especially when it included torture. that, he maintained, fueled the engine of his treachery. he said often, quote, the more they did these dirty things, the more they made my realize what i was doing was important. there it was -- self fulfillment at its most grotesque.
8:37 am
now in edward snowden, the young nsa technician, playing peekaboo with the world in hong kong, dishing out american secrets, the refrain is similar -- quote, i can't in good conscience allow the u.s. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world. although detain -- details of this newly minted traitor are scarce, in some ways, he seems cut from the same gray clothe. in 1975, i met with agee at his flat on the english coast. he was living with a brazilian girlfriend, whom he introducedda as a product of american-sponsored torture. short in stature, wearing jeans, he appeared pleasantly cautious, beneath a wall poster, featuring the sainted guerrilla, che
8:38 am
navara. what a disappointment for someone expecting a tweed-jacketed, craggy-faced spy, with a demeanor carrying the weight of dark exploits. we met several times after the interview before he began his long run of deportation. he wrote more books, exposing names of active 2,000 cia agents across the world. years past, he became a forgotten man, a relic of the 60s. he fittingly died inia vanna in 2008. superficially, their backgrounds differ -- agee, a graduate of neat note and an expert on latin america. snowden, a high school dropout, interested only in internet technology. agee with a passion about his
8:39 am
beliefs. snowden a robtd. agee, a cia agent a dozen years. snowden, holding a top security clearance with a modicum of experience. common to both men and to all spies, really, is the mess -- mess yannick conviction that they are doing the world a fair favor, that they know what is good for you because in their tangled web, they are -- after all -- smarter. edward snowden is now facing his destiny. >> eric: election fraud hit the 2008 presidential election in the indiana primary. and tomorrow in court in south bend, the four election officials and operatives who were convicted or pled guilty will be sentenced. what they did, what they face and the basis of our democracy was betrayed according to officials.
8:40 am

to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for him, he's agreed to give it up. that's today? [ male announcer ] we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. i was okay, but after lunch my knee started to hurt again. and now i've got to take more pills. ♪ yup. another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? ♪ for my pain, i want my aleve. ♪ [ male announcer ] look for the easy-open red arthritis cap. folks have suffered from frequent heartburn but now, thanks to treating with prilosec otc, we don't have to suffer like they used to.

8:44 am
>> now to the voter fraud that touched the race for the highest office in the land. four in theic officials and party operatives will be sentenced in an election fraud case from the 2008 election. prosecutors say the presidential petitions that put president obama and hillary clinton on the indiana primary ballot were faked. former county chairman butch morgan on the upper left and the board of elections worker on the right, they were convicted in april of felony forgery and conspiracy counts in the election scheme. and two others had previously pled guilty in this case and they testified against the other two. in fact, so many signatures of unsuspecting voters were said to be forged, the prosecutor said hundreds -- that they think that
8:45 am
in the ooh 'bama may want have qualified to run. but the obama petitions were never questioned. it turns out, if the clinton campaign had challenged the signatures during the race, prosecutors have said that the president probably would not have had the number to get on the ballot. voters we met said that they were shocked that their names were used. is that your signature? >> that is not my signature. >> eric: did you sign this petition for bam? >> no. >> i know sign for barack obama. >> eric: someone forged this. >> that's correct. that's not my signature. i didn't sign for bamg bam. >> eric: how could this happen? we have the executive director of the republican party. good to see you this morning. >> good to see you? >> this case -- it's just unbelievable. it hasn't gotten a lot of national attention t. affected a race for the white house. one of the defendants could get
8:46 am
75 years in prison. he won't get that. but what is your reaction to what happened? and to what could happen tomorrow? >> i would like to say we are surprised. but in actuality, we weren't. this is just a symptom of a broader culture of corruption that -- democrats in indian indiana and especially st. joseph county have cultivated for decades now. st. josieve county is only 90 minutes from chicago. this is chicago politics at its worst-- republicans have been affected, too. charlie white, the republican secretary of state was convicted in a registering at his ex- ex-wife's house t. affects both. but why does this stuff happen? you are talking about a race for the white house, where the testimony showed they sat in a room and made this stuff up. >> definitely. it's just arrogance, eric, in all honesty.
8:47 am
i think that people get a sense of power and they think they can get away with something. you know, that's the sort of thing that makes people lose faith in our political process. >> eric: what is really troubling this, wopt -- went on for years. lucas burkett, the young man who was involved, he had second thoughts, he came forward, it was made public. and a political newsletter and the south bend tribune newspaper. but if he hadn't come out and squealed, it would have sailed right through and never been caught. >> right. i think there are a lot of cases like this. that do go unnoticed. we have known in st. joe county and other places in indiana that these types of things are going on. this is just a case where we were able to prove it. this is not an isolated incident n. indiana, a love cases have been coming out, stemming from the election. there is one in jennings
8:48 am
countedy, indiana where a former staffer for joe donnelly was convicted for voting on other people's absentee ballots. so it's a systemics problem. if you say that voter fraud is not an issue, that it's a myth. they haven't met anyone inside the democratic party in indiana. >> eric: let me point out, that it did hit the republican party. john groden gave us a statement that said, in part, they are cleaning this up. he said this...
8:49 am
