"fox & friends" starts right now. bye. >> good morning. it is tuesday, june 25. i'm dana perino in for gretchen carlson. the i.r.s. finishes its investigation of itself and concluded it did nothing wrong but we found out the targeting is wider than we thought. we'll bring you the details. >>steve: the n.s.a. leaker still apparently in russia so what now? what the white house is doing behind the scenes to try to get him back on u.s. soil. >> why america may have lost its international credibility. >>brian: the lawyer of the nfl player in the middle of a murder investigation breaks his silence as the troubles for his client keep piling up.
3:01 am
>> he shot my client in the hand and in the face. the bullet went into his face, shattered several facial bones and blasted his right eyeball right out of his head. >> new details on accusations aaron hernandez left another man for dead just a few months ago. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >>steve: live from studio e on this already hot tuesday. look who's here. >> thank you. i notice yesterday you had carol alt and i thought today you would be downsizing. she's so tall and beautiful. >>steve: you sent me an e-mail, can you get a phone book. do we have a large phone book for her? >> i'm almost 6'1".
3:02 am
i was looking up. >> if greg was here, he would be this tall and it would even out. >>steve: greg, come over and join the show. >> it's great to be back on "fox & friends." mornings are my speed. late nights in new york are not for me. 5 p.m. i can do. around 7 p.m. i start going down. >> you're model lovely and analyst smart. great to see you. >>steve: we've got a busy three hours. >> heather nauert is here with headlines. >> good morning. we've had a lot of breaking news overnight. late last night there was a camping trip and it turned into a nightmare for dozens of boy scouts. 23 of them were shocked and burned when lightning hit their camp site. this happened in gilmonton, new hampshire. six of the scouts were given cardiac monitors because the burns were in their chest area. we've got positive news on that front. their injuries are not considered life threat being.
3:03 am
>> while you were sleeping members of the that believe launching an attack in the presidential palace in afghanistan. take a look here. this brand-new video coming in overnight, and it shows that the black smoke rose over kabul after nearly a dozen explosions. a gun battle waeupbled for 45 -- waged for 45 minutes near the u.s. embassy. this happened as reporters gathered for a news conference with hamid karzai. brand-new details in the aaron hernandez murder investigation. an attorney for a man who says hernandez shot him speaking out. listen. >> hernandez and his buddies left mr. bradley for dead. in circumstances similar to what we're hearing about in massachusetts, they left him shot and wounded in an industrial park down in the riviera beach of florida. my client was afraid, and so the reports are true.
3:04 am
he didn't give up hernandez because he was scared. >> the stunning interview coming hours after police returned to the area near hernandez's home. the blackhawks are stanley cup champions again thanks to a remarkable finish. [screaming and cheering] >> wow! look at that. chicago scoring two goals within 17 seconds late in the third period against the bruins. the blackhawks win game 6, 3-2 and also the cup. they were 76 seconds away from a game seven. it is their second title in four years. congratulations. also the champs arriving back home. new video just in to "fox & friends" the blackhawks touching down moments ago in chicago. there is a victory parade set for friday. those are your headlines. >> that's nice for chicago.
3:05 am
>>steve: absolutely. meanwhile, this is going to be a pick-me-up for you. you know that i.r.s. scandal where supposedly the screeners said they targeted groups of tea party organizations and things like that. well, this is the good part. the i.r.s., under the tutelage of danny werfel, the acting commissioner, he says up until about a month ago apparently in addition to targeting conservatives, apparently they were also using terms on their screener list like progressive, occupy and israel. clearly what the commissioner is trying to point out is, see, it wasn't just the conservatives who were targeted. it was also the people on the left. however, we haven't actually heard from any of the people on the left who said, hey, we were targeted. >> maybe what we'd hear from the left is they were signed off right away. it's called bolo -- be on the lookout --. >> it is a police term. be on the lookout.
3:06 am
according to at least one report, the tea party groups were sent to a group 7822. >>steve: operator 7822. >> for special attention. there may have been occupy, progressives and even israel denominated as a "be on the lookout." it appears the tea party and constitutionalist groups were treated a different way. >> i'd like to see the numbers on that. danny we're -- danny werfel took a job, not the greatest job you can imagine getting -- heading the i.r.s. in the middle of a scandal -- trying to figure this out. i'm concerned if america doesn't get an independent view of this i don't know if they are going to accept the i.r.s.'s word. for example, if there were occupy numbers, how many of those groups were looking for 501-c status? how many were denied? were they ever asked for their book clubs or do they
3:07 am
not read? >> you're right. that becomes an issue for a lot of americans. they say who is going to investigate the investigators? how do we trust what is going on? what is truly an independent investigation? when they say we looked at it. it was okay. it was kind of bad. it was immoral. it wasn't illegal. we'll do an investigation but things are okay now. >> he also said heads have rolled over there but there was no wrongdoing. if they were fired without cause? what's the cause? i think it's very confusing for people that work within the i.r.s. too. >>steve: we haven't heard any names. we know lois lerner is on vacation right now. she doesn't have to talk to anybody. >> with internet access too, i read. >>steve: unlike the guy sitting somewhere in russia. any way, it looks as if some liberal groups were part of the screening process but ultimately they were not screened the same way as conservative groups. meanwhile let's talk about edward snowden. he does appear to still be stuck in russia.
3:08 am
this is interesting. he told apparently the south china morning post, the newspaper over there, that he took that job with booz allen, the security contractor that paid $120,000 a year, even though he had been working for the n.s.a. for $200,000 a year, he took it specifically so he would have access to the computers that would give him the lists of all the computers around the globe. it looks like he took that particular job just so that he could get the thumb drive to spill all the beans. >> would he be under additional charges if the intent -- if it wasn't just a whistle-blower that he decided oh, my gosh, i saw something and i have to say something, but that he actually willfully wanted to get something, does the law change? >> the law's the same. you go to the right point. intent. when he says to this newspaper that i intentionally did this, it was my plan to do this, that perhaps i was outraged
3:09 am
by the policy i was aware of to begin with and i wanted to get evidence of it, that's huge. that's absolutely huge in terms of pursuing conviction in this case. what it does, it changes the dynamic big time. a lot of people say i think he's a patriot, a constitutionalist, i think he's speaking up to the rights of privacy in america. when we see this globe trotting trip to russia, china, all our enemies, and then this new revelation that somehow he infiltrated the n.s.a. on purpose. >>steve: maybe he had seen so much with the n.s.a. he thought if i'm going to be a whistle-blower, i've got to get the master key. to do that, i've got to do that. clearly he did have a plan. right now the united states plan is, since he appears to be in russia, we behind the scenes -- back channel as they say in state department terms -- were telling russia you've got to give him back to us. apparently they've already talked to the countries of china and they talked to hong kong and they said you've got to give him up
3:10 am
to us. but at this point it looks like mr. putin holds all the cards. >> they said on the application for the extradition when the united states filled out the paper work, the chinese said unfortunately we're missing a form or you forgot to check a box. therefore, what could we do? that sound a little suspicious to me. i think the white house yesterday through jay carney said this is changing and is a step back. >> secretary of state john kerry, even former secretary of state hillary clinton have been critical of russia and china saying there is going to be retaliation. >> what kind of retaliation? that's the thing. >>steve: go to your room! >> i'm sure putin is shaking in his boots. i have a feeling that putin might hold on to him long enough, just long enough so he can get all the p.r. he needs for his internal audience in russia and other places throughout the world where he is exerting influence and then he'll give him back to obama and exert some sort of price.
3:11 am
unfortunately the price we are paying, it feels like, is our pride. >>steve: as was depicted at that summit where those two, they look like they were just told eat your peas. >> frosty. >>steve: it was chilly. clearly mr. putin has the upper hand. mr. graham was on with gretchen last night and said the reason we're in this sad state of affairs is even though once we were mighty, we have fallen. >> this is exhibit a of how far we've fallen as a nation in the eyes of the world. our friends aren't sure about us and our enemies no longer fear us. it seems nobody respects us. hillary clinton and barack obama came into office and were going to clean up the world after bush. bush was a big ogre that made the world a bad place. obama was going to give speeches and hillary would reset with the russians. >> we have. who would you pick in a stare-down contest between
3:12 am
putin and obama? our enemies have absolutely no respect for us. if you wanted to understand how relationships are between russia, the united states and china, snowden tells you all you need to know. they have failed in securing our national security, in securing us as a nation. they have failed to earn respect. >>steve: what they probably will do is russia will hold on to him for a little while. i read in one of the columns today they're going to let the united states stew in their own juices. >> meanwhile reporters are getting on every flight out of russia in the off chance snowden will be on it. i wouldn't want to be one of those reporters. they said there was no food, no alcohol from the flight from moscow to cuba. that's a long way to go. >>steve: no alcohol for reporters, that would be torture. it is 12 minutes after the top of the hour. thanks for joining us on this tuesday. getting ready for another wild ride on wall street and the president isn't helping any. >> booze and drugs didn't

>>dana: to a fox business alert. it's been a roller coaster ride on wallstreet.
3:17 am
markets closing down with the dow taking a nose dive ending the day losing 140 points. now analysts say the trend could continue over fears the fed could scale back its stimulus program. what could we expect to happen? joining us now, here we are together, varney and perino with no hannity. tell us what's going on. >> when that opening bell rings on wall street, the dow jones average will go up about 70 points, not much of a come-back after the huge losses of last week. beyond that, i don't know what is going to happen. nobody knows. there is a period of high anxiety because interest rates have gone straight up. that's bad for just about everybody. >>dana: it wasn't just everybody. the past five sessions we have seen this. why is that happening? >> ben bernanke says he might not be printing so much money in the future. plus china has problems with its banks. it doesn't know whether to bail them out or not. that creates anxiety arbd
3:18 am
arbd -- around the world. you add up those factors and you see a down side to your 401(k). >> what are world bankers? what are the people who are responsible, what are they doing to try to get a handle on the situation? can they? >> no. around the world central banks have been printing money, by one estimate, $15 trillion has been printed in the last couple of years. that process looks like it's come to an end. ben bernanke says might not be printing much more. the chinese say might not be printing much more. so what you've got is a worldwide squeeze on the amount of money going out there, so stock prices fall and interest rates rise. >>dana: that doesn't help job creation? >> it does not. >>dana: in your opinion when president obama gives a speech today at georgetown university on global climate change, in the fifth year of his presidency, didn't talk about it in his campaign, they are describing this as a big, major speech. how's that going to help jobs? >> i think he's going to kill the coal industry
3:19 am
today. he's going to be speaking at an elite university about 100 miles he's going to be putting coal miners out of work. what this is going to do, he's going to impose restrictions on carbon emissions from existing power plants. that will hurt the coal industry big-time. it will raise the cost of electricity over the longer term and it will cut the number of jobs available in the mining industry. >>dana: part of the reason is the technology doesn't yet exist to do that type of emissions reduction on its own. so what choices would business have? send that money, those jobs and the emissions overseas and you don't solve the global problem? >> what the president should be doing is urging a conversion to natural gas. he should be urging us to frack, get the natural gas we've got and use that to create electricity. but that's not what he's going to do. he's going to suppress coal. beat up on one particular industry. >>dana: are these two issues going to come up on
3:20 am
your show? >> yes. we'll be delving deep into this. specifically, he delivers this speech at an elite university where he's guaranteed to get a nice reception. meanwhile snowden is playing havoc with us, we're being laughed at around the world. we're going to cover that. >>dana: varney 9:20. >> 9:15. >>dana: about time they gave you those five extra minutes. millions of taxpayer dollars being spent on dead people. details ahead. then take a look at this. this happened in our streets. the head of one of the country's biggest unions says riots in the streets are a great way to get what you really want. really? ♪ ♪ so...

3:26 am
leader talking about what's going on down in brazil could happen here unless -- and this is the threat part -- unless we increase spending on transit. >> what he's talking about is public employee, government employee unions. we all know the union movement in the private sector is going down big-time. when you keep pressing these companies with demands, you lose your job. but with government, you keep pressing and make outrageous demands, and who pays for it? the taxpayers. there's nobody to represent the poor taxpayer. >>steve: you know, the difference, i would like to think is, here in the united states it doesn't devolve into what's going on in brazil over union stuff. >> they want to take what's going on in brazil and move it to the united states. they know, the union bosses know that the public gets really scared when any type of violence like this occurs. and there was a case in

week 40 years after he started the company. in a letter he said that firing, it was made clear that the board was unwilling to address his concerns about the company's direction. from show business -- from politics to show business. former senator republican presidential candidate rick santorum has been named the c.e.o. of a christian movie company. more on that as we get it. peter? >>peter: the international manhunt for edward snowden continues while the white house works to get him back to the united states. >> what we know is that we're following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure that rule of law is observed. beyond that, i'll refer to the justice department that has been actively involved in this. >>peter: at what lengths can america go in order to get him back here? >>steve: fox news senior judicial analyst andrew
3:46 am
napolitano joins us. it does seems russia might be going we've got him and poking their finger in our eye. >> it seems as though it is an opportunity for putin to do what he likes to do which is to poke his finger in people's eye. as peter mentioned, there is almost no limit to which it can go. the supreme court, as odious as this sounds says the government could kidnap him. if the defendant shows up in handcuffs, and says judge, two days ago i was in moscow, they kidnapped me, drugged me, put me on a plane and brought me. the judge would say it is no concern of ours how you got here. here are the charges. that is repellent but it could happen. >>peter: as you always say, is that constitutional? >> the supreme court has said it is constitutional. the government doesn't like to admit. only a few years ago u.s. agents were convicted in italy for arresting someone off the streets of milan and delivering him against his will to cairo.
3:47 am
they weren't present but he was convicted. that convict was upheld by the italian court. i don't know if the president will go to those lengths. that is decision that can only be made at the highest levels but he has the authority to do it. if he ends up in ecuador tomorrow or if he's there now, there is very little the government can do but wait until the government in ecuador changes, as happens periodically, in countries the attitude changes. >>dana: russia said this morning snowden hasn't crossed into russia. that could be he's in the international space in the airport. >> he could be in the international space in the airport. people are saying he's spilling all the beans to the russians. we don't know that. we know what he told us about what happened here has evoked great controversy from he's a traitor to he's a hero. from we don't like what he said, but we ought to have a debate on it. to even the great ray kelly, new york city police commissioner, saying spying in the country, people should know about it. where it goes from there, we don't know.
3:48 am
espionage is a difficult charge for the government to prove because in order to prove there's been harm by what he said, it has to demonstrate to a jury what it was doing. it may reveal more secrets to a jury in a trial than he did. >>steve: a catch 22. judge, fantastic. plenty to talk about. >>dana: glad that we have you. >> glad we have you early in the morning. >>steve: we're surrounded by lawyers today. an explosive first day in the george zimmerman murder trial. both lawyers grabbing headlines. we are live at the courthouse. >>peter: he's one of the deadliest american soldier of all time and he's finally telling his story on the curvy couch next.

3:53 am
longevity and what is the secret to your commitment to this country? >> i've just all been lucky, i guess. i guess it's better to be lucky than good. i grew up where i always wanted to be sergeant rock, sergeant fury from the comic books. i believe in the country and what it stands for. >> peter: "carnivore" was the name that seley was part of and you were part of for a long, long time. in iraq and fields of war and you've got 100 and something sniper kills on top of being the deadliest soldier in our history. tell me about your camaraderie, tell me about your brotherhood with the troops that you worked with. >> well, this book, i really didn't want to write this book. i finally put it out there because i saw from on point where it was out there for public domain and all these
3:54 am
other writers kept using it. charlie horse, crazy horse unit that i went in, they deserve the credit for what went on over there and as far as the battle and confirmed kills. the confirmed kills aren't as if i went out there and counted bodies to go through this. a lot of them are attributed from the book "on point" president other ones are when i did battlefield assessment to give my leader an assessment. other troopers that did as much as i did or even more out there with it. >> peter: what should people understand about our fighting men and women in this country? what do they misunderstand about them? what should they really know? >> they should really know there is nobody out there doing this for a paycheck. everybody is doing it for love of country and love of their fellow soldier. and they're putting their entire life on hold and their life at risk every day so people can enjoy the freedoms that they have. >> peter: you say at one point in your book basically that you weren't doing because you liked
3:55 am
doing it. you wanted to help bring americans alive and pursue freedom for other people in the world. do people understand that, you think? >> i don't think people really understand -- we go to war with someone else, they don't understand what that country was like and everything else. america has been very fortunate as far as how our civilians act and everything else and we don't have the same culture that these other countries do. all we can really do when we go to these other countries and give them a fighting chance for democracy. we can't make them change, but we can give them the ability to do that. >> peter: you contracted a blood cancer probably because of the ammunition that you were using as a soldier in the armed forces and ten years ago, so you beat it. now it's come back. what lessons in the past will help you defeat the cancer again and bring inspiration even more to americans as you fight another fight? >> i think the way that i look at it is it is what it is.

4:02 am
burned when lightning hit their camp site in gilmanton, new hampshire. they were huddled under a tarp when a storm moved in. six of the scouts were given cardiac monitors last night because of burns in the chest area. we did get some positive news. their injuries are not considered life-threatening. also, members of the taliban launching an attack on the presidential palace in afghanistan. this brand-new video coming in a short while ago. it shows the black smoke rising over kabul after nearly a dozen explosions. a gun battle waging for 45 minutes right near the u.s. embassy. this happened as reporters were gathering for a news conference with afghan president karzai. it is crunch time for lawmakers in the state of texas who are trying to pass a tough new abortion bill. the state senate is expected to vote on the measure today. that bans abortions after 20 weeks and stricts the procedures to surgical centers.
4:03 am
it overwhelmingly passed the house on monday. the senate has to vote before midnight tonight. senate democrats plan to filibuster in order to stop that vote. we'll keep you posted. james gandolfini's sudden death cause ago feud within his sopranos family. a new report out in this morning's new york post claims the cast is furious at this actor. he played vito on the show. they're mad that he's done a series of glowing interviews about gandolfini when they weren't even close friends and apparently they hadn't even talked in years. some feel he's using gandolfini's death to get his own name out there. those are your headlines. back to the three of you. >> steve: his name is out there now. it's not in a good way. thank you. >> dana: another bombshell overnight in the irs scandal. it turns out they abused the left and involved even more groups. but an internal irs investigation found out that the
4:04 am
agency did nothing wrong. kelly wright live in washington. kelly? >> good morning to you, peter and steve. good to see you as well. a new report i'm holding is called "charting a path forward." it's about 86 pages long. i'm august the abbreviated version. it says the irs not only improperly targeted conservative, but included religious and liberal groups. daniel werfel speaking to reporters on a conference call says he discovered employees used wide ranging and improper terms while screening groups that applied for tax exempt status. he did not explain what those terms were, but suspended the use of them immediately. >> while fact gathering is still underway, we have not found evidence of intentional wrongdoing by anyone in the irs or involved in these matters by anyone outside the irs. furthermore, there is no current evidence of the use of inappropriate screeners or other types of criteria in other irs
4:05 am
operations. >> you may recall that during the month of may, the treasury department suspected general testified before congress that irs employees targeted conservative groups that had tea party or patriot in its name. that sparked numerous protests around the country from conservative groups who believed they had been unfairly targeted, particularly during the height of president obama running for reelection. some republicans are not satisfied with this new irs report. >> republicans, democrats, independents should be very worried about an agency that powerful in government looking after your political beliefs. that is very worrisome. >> congressman phil roe tells fox that he believes heads need to roll at the irs. democrats are also unhappy with the new irs document as well. they want to know why they were not told that progressive groups were also targeted. back to you. >> steve: all right.
4:06 am
thank you very much. peter, so the irs says we had people from both sides of the political spectrum targeted and yet there is no evidence that they did. >> peter: they're targeting and then there is targeting. there is the be on the lookout for conservative groups, be on the lookout for progressive. all three seem to be enemies of the white house. occupy was no friend of the white house. but it becomes what did they do once it was on the list? and there is at least one report that says that there was a higher level of scrutiny even though there was progressives on the list, the tea party people really got a hard looking at and asked a lot of stupid intrusive questions. so it's going on with both. we don't have evidence of that. >> dana: there is a lot of evidence when it comes to the conservatives. you had specific groups come out and say here are questions we were asked and the length of time it took. i'm willing to take a look, if there are progressive groups, if it was equal opportunity misbehavior at the irs, i'd take
4:07 am
a look at it. >> peter: mr. werfel says, we haven't finished our investigation, but there doesn't appear to be anything wrong. >> steve: don't you think we would have heard from some groups on thes left had they been targeted before? >> dana: there is targeting and then there is harassment. even if they were on the be on the look outlist, what sort of harassment did they have? i don't understand why they couldn't have done an independent investigation because the irs -- i think danny werfel is a good -- he's trying to do his best job, but i don't think people will truly trust the irs to investigate itself. i just don't. >> peter: we need that. >> steve: we do. meanwhile, let's talk about this, a lot of people don't trust the nsa now that we found that the super spy agency is spying on all of us. the leaker, edward snowden, appears to be stuck in russia, behind the scenes the united states is threatening russia. state department has contacted
4:08 am
ecuador and iceland. what's interesting is now we're starting to learn details about what he was doing in hong kong. a fellow named albert ho, an attorney in hong kong, apparently met mr. snowden last tuesday, got into a car, snowden was wearing sunglasses and a hat. they didn't talk until they got into an apartment, small house, and then snowden was whispering and would not talk out loud until everybody put their cell phones in the refrigerator. and then at that point, this attorney says that he was very smart and analytical, but he did not anticipate the complications that would be involved in going to hong kong. he did not think this all through. then extraordinarily, apparently on friday night, a shadowy emissary, and that person is not named, reaches out to his legal team and says, if you leave now, leave hong kong now, you won't be stopped. here is his attorney from hong
4:09 am
kong, mr. albert ho. >> then he will be given free passage. okay? and interrupted. to any other place of his choice. >> steve: apparently hong kong didn't want a long and messy extradition. >> peter: he became a hot potato. the russians, they can have -- it appears mr. snowden doesn't like being spied on, putting the cell phones in the refrigerator. he doesn't want to be spied on. >> dana: you can imagine hong kong said, we don't need this problem. >> peter: no. >> dana: plus hong kong got the pr for its people and china's people using it against the united states to say, look, this guy, he was worried about how we would be treated in the united states and he chose us and he came here and then we protected him and we gave him what he needed and we didn't have anything to do with the bad paperwork or passport revoked.
4:10 am
>> peter: in the "new york times" yesterday, it said he downloaded four computers and given to the chinese. likely? >> dana: i think so. what do i know? >> peter: you know. >> steve: nobody knows exactly where he is. >> peter: a lot of experience. >> steve: ten minutes after the hour. we've got a fox news alert. day two of the george zimmerman trial gets underway. we're expected to see prosecutors fight to present new evidence. >> peter: we've already seen fireworks from both sides. live is wofl reporter melissa, outside the courthouse in sanford, florida. good morning, melissa. >> good morning. i like that term fireworks. that's appropriate. some very memorable moments in court yesterday. of course, much of the morning spent on opening statements. i think the strategies for each party was completely different. first you had the prosecution coming in. they were firey, they were fast. they opened up with cuss words,
4:11 am
took everybody back for a second. and they were very quick in their opening statement. then the defense, it was the complete opposite. they were slow. they were methodical. they used visuals and diagrams. at one point they made a joke and it just didn't go over very well. listen to the highlighting moments from both sides, see if you can tell the different strategyies. >> (bleep) punk. these (bleep). they always get away. those were the words in that man's chest. knock knock. who's there? george zimmerman. george who? all right, good. you're on the jury. >> and defense attorney don west did apologize for that joke later on. now, court ended early yesterday. it will start at 8:30 this morning because they have to have a special hearing regarding some 911 tapes placed months before this actually took place.
4:12 am
we'll have that hearing before witnesses take the stand. so 8:30 this morning court continues and we will update you every step of the way. back to you. >> steve: thank you very much. >> dana: coming up, voters are headed to the polls in massachusetts today. they're going to elect a new u.s. senator in this race could signal things to come on a much bigger scale. senator scott brown knows a thing or two about this. he's here live with us next. >> peter: and wife is written all over her face. that's right. scientists say kate upton is marriage material. so do you have the face of a wife, too? >> steve: that's wife material. ♪ ♪

>> steve: today gabriel gomez hopes to win the special election for the open senate seat in massachusetts. he's drawing comparisons to the state's former republican senator, scott brown. remember that story? gomez is known as a political outsider. brown was seen as an independent. they both served in the military and their opponents are part of the quote, political establishment. brown beat out the state's attorney general three years ago to take over the seat held by the late ted kennedy. gomez is taking on 20-term u.s. congressman ed marky. so could mr. gomez be the next scott brown?
4:17 am
let's talk to scott brown who joins us live now from boston. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> steve: i know you were out campaigning for mr. gomez yesterday. how is it going? >> listen, he's a nice guy, hard worker, great family, independent as you know, newcomer, neofight and up against a political machine. so i'm hopeful he'll do well. there seems to be within his circle of supporters a tremendous amount of energy. but outside in massachusetts, i don't see a whole lot of energy. it's going to be i think an unusually low turnout and strictly a numbers game. it comes down to whether you can actually get more than they have. it's pretty simple. 50% plus one. >> steve: it's a math problem. you're exactly right. to give people context, could he be the next scott brown? when you were running for kennedy's seat, the dynamic in the country was different because the whole country was talking about obamacare. and would scott brown potentially be the one final vote against it that stops it.
4:18 am
>> well, actually i was able to do just that, as you know. they went through -- turned themselves into pretzels to do something through reconciliation and do political problemitary maneuvers. you see the entire mess now. yes, there is not that same type of energy out there. there is not an issue. there are issues that i think could have been capitalized on more. obviously that benghazi and irs, fast and furious, a.p., you have a whole host of the debt and the deficit and the economy. you have a whole host of issues, but they've chosen a different strategy. we'll see if it works. >> steve: indeed. the democrats certainly are worried about it. they're pulling out all the stops. they're bringing in the big guns. >> yeah. this is dirty politics 101. you have somebody who has been there for 37 years back when gerald ford and when they had 8 tracks, if people remember what those are, who really -- he's never here unless he wants to cut a ribbon or something.
4:19 am
he has a house in chevy chase that is his legal residence and bottom line, he's never here. so you have a choice. you're going to vote for somebody who is going to walk down the aisle as you've seen, excuse me, harry, how do you want me to vote, up or down, and be that rubber stamp, or somebody to go down there and be an independent voter and thinker and do what's best for the people of massachusetts without any beholden to anybody. >> steve: why didn't you jump in. >> i needed a break. i've been campaigning for almost 15 years between assessor selectman, state senate, u.s. senate. the thought of running again, raising another 30 to $50 million and then the next day running again and raising another 50 to $70 million, you know, it doesn't compare to the big contract i got with fox. so what can i say?

it? well, on-line sleuths think they figured it out. they say that's not his arm hanging out of the bus. it's really a metal pole and his arm is tucked into his chest as he hangs on. they say you can tell because you never see his fingers move. also known as seeing dynamo levitate off the ground. they've only seen him once when he's in the air. that's interesting. >> peter: that's fun. >> dana: this is a very curious thing. >> steve: meanwhile, let's talk about aaron hernandez. he the new england patriot who is in a bunch of trouble. keep in mind, it was last week that it was revealed that when the cops wanted his cell tone and home security system, he destroyed both. on the day they found a dead guy not far from his house, he called the maids to clean things up. there is even more in there, peter. >> peter: he's still not arrested. but police are searching the
4:34 am
woods near his home and an attorney for the man who says he was shot by hernandez speaks out about an earlier shooting. let's watch that. >> he came and visited him if the hospital. he was in pretty bad shape at the time. and he was scared. hernandez and his buddies had left mr. bradley for dead. the reports are true. he didn't give up hernandez 'cause he was scared. my client was working sort of as a personal assistant for mr. hernandez and working with him and they were partying and they were at a strip club, again, similar circumstances to what happened up in massachusetts, from what i understand. they got into an altercation. they were in the car driving on their way from the miami area to palm beach and at some point, they all got out of the car and in a remote area and that's where the shooting took place. >> steve: so that explains why -- it was not until the one guy, the latest guy wound up
4:35 am
dead that we heard about it, hey, wait a minute. there was another case where it didn't sound like they had gone to the police. but there his attorney -- >> peter: talk about peeling the onion back. >> dana: in your opinion what, would they be waiting for? >> peter: they may not have the evidence yet. i think they're looking at forensic evidence. they've been to the house. there may be other witnesses coming forward. when people want to bring a murder case, they want it to be brought in an appropriate way and not arrest someone either if they didn't do it or don't have the evidence to show it. obviously people are innocent until proven guilty. but he's apparently in a world of pain. >> steve: yeah. and yesterday they did do a search of the road that led up to his house. they even had a massachusetts state trooper out in a skin diving suit to go through some water. >> peter: we've seen this pattern in other cases. there is usually some outcome. we'll be watching. >> dana: now on to the other stories making headlines.
4:36 am
heather nauert. >> good morning to you. it's now 35 minutes after the hour. and she is already under fire for soliciting nonprofit groups to promote obamacare. but that is not stopping tsa lean sebelius from asking the nfl for help. the health and human services secretary announced she is in talks with the nfl to promote obamacare. the agency apparently wants to target young men and they're also reportedly in talks with the nba. both are not for profit groups. we'll keep you posted. listen to this one. a mother beaten inside her own home and her daughter forced to watch the entire thing. we're not showing you the entire video because it is simply too disturbing to watch. the mom was watching television with her three-year-old daughter in million born, new jersey p weather this guy broke in, punched her, kicked her and threw her down the basement stairs. he then took off with the mom's jewelry. the woman is being treated for concussion and injuries to her face. that little girl fortunately not
4:37 am
harmed. police hope the nanny cam footage will help them catch the suspect. this story is for the birds, literally. it's hard to imagine, a couple in new jersey now being dragged to court today over their bird feeder, of all things. yep. that's true. neighbors of alfred and annette rockefeller don't like the bird feeder because they say it's attracting animals other than birds, including ducks and deer. we all know deer are a bit of a pain in the neck. city officials questioning the feeder, they say, because it's in the shape of a wreath and it contains peanuts. alfred is disabled and he says that feeding the birds is one of his only joys. the rockefellers face a fine of up to $500. is that the dopeyest story of the day or what? listen to this, kate upton, does she have the face of a wife? a new study says nope, not at all. researchers say that men are looking for certain facial features in a wife, like high cheek bones and a square jaw.
4:38 am
women with fuller cheeks, not so much. they're more likely to be rated as a fling. the theory behind this is women with a higher cheek bones and square joan -- square jaw are seen as prettier? what guy wouldn't want that? look at that right there. >> dana: i think that's a fake study just so we could put kate upton on tv. >> peter: the study no sense. you should always put kate upton on. >> dana: that's true. any chance you get. >> steve: all right. thank you very much with that vavava voom. maria molina looks at the day ahead. >> we have weather to talk about. we have a threat for severe storms across parts of new england and also across sections of the midwest. one of the reasons why we're look at that risk for severe weather is how hot it's going to be. temperatures widespread into the 90s, expected this afternoon across parts of the plains.
4:39 am
98 degrees for your high temperature in the city of dallas. take a look at the northeast. also pretty hot out here. new york city, 92 is the anticipated high temperature. you factor in humidity, and it will feel hotter. that's why we have a heat advisory currently in effect for the new york city area. again, a threat for severe storms, parts of new england, the midwest and up into parts of north dakota, damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes being concerned. we've had a number of storms through the midwest over the last couple of days. the ground already saturated. we're expecting heavy rain from the storms and we do have a flood threat out there. that's head back inside to steve, dana and peter. >> steve: thank you very much. let's talk about what one new york city restaurant called sushi yasuda. it's one of the best in town. what they've decided is they're going to stop asking people to leave tips for the waiters and waitresses because they just think that at the end of the meal, people get out their
4:40 am
calculators and trying it figure it out. what they're going to do is pay the waiters and waitresses more so they don't depend on tips. >> dana: i guess you saw the movie "reservoir dog"? >> peter: yeah. great movie. >> dana: check this out. >> come on. throw in a buck. >> huh-uh. i don't tip. >> you don't tip? >> no, i don't believe in it. >> you don't believe in tipping? >> you know what these chicks make? they make (bleep). >> don't give me that. if she don't make enough money, she can quit. >> i don't tip because society says i have to. >> all right. i'll tip if somebody really deserves it, but if they put forth the effort, i'll give something extra. this tipping automatically is for the birds. >> steve: if you're a waiter or waitress, you hate that guy. >> peter: i don't -- i don't believe it. i'm sure they're honest folks at this restaurant, but i don't think it works out. >> dana: i don't think it works out well for the worker. >> peter: it doesn't. >> dana: when i was waiting tables, you had to work for it and then you worked harder so
4:41 am
you could get good tips. sometimes it doesn't work. sometimes you'll get a jerk like that who won't leave a good tip. >> peter: or place where is there is a service charge. who is getting the service charge? the owner? what about the hat check, coat check, the owner? i don't like it. >> steve: but i like the idea of not having to -- okay, i got to pay attention. was that a 15% waiter or 20%? it would be great if restaurants were able -- i understand they've got to pass the price along to us, but it would be great if they were able to pay the waiters and waitresses enough so you wouldn't have to hassle with that at the end. the owner of this particular place says, we're from japan, they don't do that in japan and everybody has a much more relaxed dining experience. >> dana: i'm for individual achievement. not this socialism -- >> steve: socialism. >> dana: that you're promoting here. >> steve: go to home depot, right? and you buy a wheelbarrow, but the guy in the orange apron helps you out. >> dana: he gets paid hourly.
4:42 am
>> steve: exactly! >> dana: they get paid less than minimum wage. they'll never get paid enough. >> peter: enough talk about this socialism promotion, steve. come on now. >> steve: oh, boy. >> dana: we'd love to hear what you think. e-mail us at the e-mail. >> steve: turning to the socialist now? >> dana: asking for help with an e-mail address? coming up next, cheryl casone is here with five companies hiring this week, including one with over 2,000 openings. >> steve: that's great. >> peter: and he was just three years old when doctors discovered he had a rare advanced kind of cancer. doctors have no idea how he beat the odds, but the boy does. he says he was saved by angels. you will meet him coming up on "fox & friends" hey, it's michelle bernstein.

he wasn't expected to make it through the weekend, much less the year. now more than six years later, carson higgins is cancer free and says it has everything to do with the angels who watched over him during that difficult time. carson and his mother, debbie, join us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> peter: debbie, you're an incredible mother and the help of the lord and it came together. carson was diagnosed at age three with something called neuroblastoma and it was throughout his body and he was in stage 4 and he was going to die. tell us what happened. >> when he was diagnosed, they basically sent us home for the weekend and said just be with him and gave us very little hope. he was covered head to toe with cancer, his lymph nodes. it's a deadly cancer. we weren't given a lot of hope. >> peter: just a couple of weeks before he was diagnosed, carson talked about seeing something or
4:55 am
feeling something. what did he describe to you and what did he describe throughout his illness and treatment at saint jude's for more than a year? >> we were sitting on the floor and he'd start looking up and i kept asking, carson, what are you looking up? and he would say it's angels and he would describe them and talk about them. then when we were at saint jude's children research hospital, throughout his treatment he would say my angels told me i need to walk or eat. he talked about them throughout his treatment. >> peter: what do you think that did in terms of him being cured? i say he's cured because i told carson, i said, about 30 years ago, i had cancer just like you and i beat it and he's beat it already. tell me. >> you know, it gave him a peace and it gave us a peace. whenever he would have stands, he would say, mom, don't worry about it, you know. i'm good. >> peter: carson, what do you think about having angels on your shoulder and bringing you through such a difficult thing with your mom and your family? what does that mean to you?
4:56 am
>> well, now that i'm cancer free, it really did help me quite a lot. >> peter: it did help you quite a lot. and do you think about the angels or pray to the angels today, based on what they did for you so many years ago? >> yes. >> peter: what do you say to the angels? >> well, i don't really pray to the angels. >> peter: you pray to the lord? >> i pray. >> peter: we pray with you. what an inspiration you are. what a great family. god bless you. >> the neat thing is carson woke me up and said, jesus visited him and he had really big healing hands and he held them and he said that he was healed. >> peter: healing hands. thank god for you. >> yeah. >> peter: thank you so much. good to see you. >> thank you. >> peter: the administration talking tough, demeaning russia, turn over edward snowden. is russia even listening or have we become a laughing stock in the world? laura ingraham here in the studio today. the doctor fed up with obamacare. he stopped taking insurance all

"fox & friends" starts right now
5:01 am
>> steve: welcome to hour three of "fox & friends" today. earlier i tweeted, because dana perino is big on twitter at dana perino. >> dana: huge on twitter. >> steve: i said, at dana perino, is such a diva hosting "fox & friends," demanding a mimosa and someone tweeted back, phone book? what's a phone book? >> dana: yeah. i actually still kind of need one. i was on a flight where my feet didn't reach the floor of the plane. >> steveof the airplane? you need a booster seat? >> dana: or you need like a foot rest. i can't sit back. but i'm here. i'm here and i'm glad to be here. >> peter: i need a foot massage. >> dana: okay. we'll call bob beckel and see if he can talk to you.
5:02 am
he's upstairs. >> steve: i don't want to see bob beckel rub peter's feet. >> peter: i don't either. >> steve: laura ingraham in just about a minute. but heather nauert, please. >> oh, boy. those are some thoughts. let's get to your headlines now. late last night, a camping trip turned into a nightmare for nearly two dozen boy scouts. 23 of them were shocked and burned when lightning hit their camping site. this happened in gilmanton, new hampshire. 9 group was huddled under a tarp when a storm moved in. six of the scouts were then given cardiac monitors later because they suffered burns to the chest area. luckily their injuries are not life-threatening. it is decision day in the state of massachusetts. voters there are deciding between democratic congressman ed marky and republican gabriel gomez to fill secretary of state john kerry's former senate seat. some say gomez, a former navy seal, could be the next scott brown. the former senator was on "fox & friends" a while ago and said that the stakes couldn't be
5:03 am
higher. >> you have a choice. you're going to vote for somebody who is going to walk down the aisle, excuse me, harry, how do you want me to vote? up or down, and be that rubber stamp? or do you want somebody who will be somebody who will be an independent voter and thinker and try to do what's best for the people of massachusetts without any behold -- beholden to anybody. >> there are currently 52 democrat, 46 republicans and two independents in the senate. while you were sleeping, members of the taliban launching an attack on the presidential palace in afghanistan. look at this video. brand-new video coming in a short while ago and it shows the black smoke rising over kabul after nearly a dozen explosions go off. a gun battle waged for 45 minutes and this was right near the u.s. embassy. it happened as reporters gathered for a news conference with afghan president hamid karzai. jimmy kimmel returning from the weekend with a black eye? look at this right here. the funny man explaining that a
5:04 am
shiner, well, he explained it with a reenactment. look. >> we we want to lunch -- we went to lunch and were supposed to pick something up, but decided -- [ laughter ] that's me in the shorts. we walked to the restaurant and the waitress came and took our order and then my plan was to go back to the car to put money in the meter. so i ran over to the car. [ laughter ] i was going to open the door to get some quarters out of the coin thing to feed the meter, but instead, i got a little distracted. instead i hit myself in the eye with the corner of the door. >> he walked away with 11 stitches. you guys go to lunch like that, don't you? >> steve: topless? >> dana: yeah. my black eye story is much more entertaining than that. that's a true story. >> peter: oh, yeah? >> dana: i'm the only one ho got
5:05 am
hurt in that thing. >> steve: thank you very much, heather. laura ingraham joins us. today she's live on the curvy couch. >> that's my black eye is just when i rub my eye after all this make-up. then it's like, you look like alice cooper! cool! >> steve: and school is out. >> school is out for summer. name that tune in three beats. >> steve: let's talk about the nsa leaker, edward snowden now. >> where is waldo? >> steve: we think he is in moscow, but apparently, according to the south china morning post, he specifically took the job at booze allen hamilton. it was less money than he was making before. he decided he was going to make 120,000 because in that particular job at booze allen, he would have the master key. he can see all the machines all over the world. >> how disturbing is it that so much of our sensitive national security information is being contracted out? but i think of all the revelations and a lot of these are quite startling, that, i think, hasn't gotten enough attention.
5:06 am
80% of these positions are filled by contract workers? i remember when i was graduating from college eons ago, booze allen, a good firm, but kind of a third or fourth tier. it was like boston consulting, mckinsey and you're going to work for booze allen? oh it was never considered the top, top firm. when i heard that, i thought that's weird.ey responsible forl this? >> dana: what would have -- does anybody ask, why would you leave the nsa where you have -- >> it's an odd trajectory. >> dana: i think the private sector has a loft answer to go do as well. in the meantime, do you think that snowden is in russia? >> i would gather given what happened last week with putin and obama, probably yes. when you looked at that body language on the couch, that body language sitting in the two seats at the g8, it was so revealing. putin was just kind of looking right through the president. it's horrible to seem you don't want to see our president
5:07 am
looking like he's kind of disappearing in the chair. but he didn't look like he had a lot of respect for him. i know a lot about russia. they don't current israeli a -- current israeli a lot of respect. >> peter: hillary clinton came out, china. does it mean anything? we're going to retaliate? how are we going to retaliate? >> exactly. last time we checked, we were indicating we wanted to unilaterally kind of decrease our nuclear arsenal with russia. so the russians, if we know nothing else about the russians, they look down on weakness. if you're strong, even if they can't stand you, they have a begrudging respect for you. right now america looks like she's pulling back around the world and that she's hesitant. she doesn't move as she says she's going to move. they look down on that. and so it would not surprise me at all. >> dana: this is a lot more than just about snowden. >> it's about our relationship with russia and given this immigration fight we're in, we're missing big stories. not we, but the public is so focused on immigration, it's sad that we're dividing the country
5:08 am
on that because russia and china, two pivotal points in the world, we are making critical mistakes in our country. >> steve: clearly it's affecting our standing in the world. we're supposed to be the only super power. >> ecuador doesn't care about us anymore. >> steve: if you're putin, just imagine, you're putin for a moment, what do you do? >> i'm putin and, well, what's going to happen to me? look, i get to increase my popularity at home, which frankly has had problems. so he looks like the big man. >> steve: i've got the american. >> and he's a shot man's complex. he's a short little guy, always taking his shirt off. so he looks like a big man to his countrymen and it's a lot about what's playing out in russia today. it's a win-win for him. he looks like i'm the bear in the woods again. the bear is growling and uncle sam is kind of -- >> dana: he's actually very small minded and cold hearted. >> look what did he with the
5:09 am
russian adoptions. he didn't care at the moment. i'm still hoping to turn that around. >> steve: given the fact that all this stuff is percolating and all these scandals, so what's our president talking about today? global warming. >> again, there is a great piece sunday in the "new york times" about the missed priorities. this administration has a set of priorities that might be interesting if you're at like a thursday night seminar at harvard. global warming, we're going to get rid of all the cars. but in the end, the american people want jobs and they want to know their kids will be able to go to college and maybe pay off their loans and they want a better life for their kids. >> peter: people say when he went to germany, what is he giving a speech about? there is a lot of things he can talk about. what the heck is he talking about? >> the real speech, there was a glare with the teleprompter. he made that up. the real speech was skewed by the sun. >> dana: one of the things being missed in the whole discussion that he's giving the speech today is that if you believe climate change is a global problem, then you need the cooperation of two big super powers. >> bingo. >> dana: china and russia. >> great connection.
5:10 am
>> dana: given the cooperation or lack thereof, that we've had in the last week in trying to catch a traitorous spy, i don't think they're going to help us on the emissions frontier. so i think this is another check the box exercise. >> russia, i've been there in seven times in the last couple years, and so -- it was really bad. moscow, especially in the summer, you feel it. >> dana: those type of emissions are something we can do. but the carbon is not -- >> we could be celebrating this huge advancement in technology in deep water drilling and all this stuff. >> dana: that would be a great speech for him to give. >> and all the stuff that's happening across this country. it's amazing! instead we want to put another damper on the energy sector and again, american jobs will be hurt. >> peter: we're talking about immigration before. you talk about dividing the country. what should we be doing on this issue? >> in my view, john boehner should look at what just happened in the senate with all
5:11 am
of these little things that we're find not guilty this bill now, the bill that swamped the last bill, 1190 pages. we find we have give aways for hollywood, give aways for youth unemployment to satisfy bernie sanders. we have the salmon sweetener in alaska for lisa murkowski. this bill is filled with so many little -- what should be poison pills, john boehner, if i'm john boehner, i look at this and say, we do have border priorities. we're going to act on those. we're done with what just happened in the senate. it's an insult to the middle class of this country, african-american, latino americans, hard working americans across this country. >> peter: that should be dead on arrival? >> it should be doa and he should give a speech about how it was polluted and how the middle class could be served by the conservative agenda. he would be a winner across the board if he did that. he has to take their talking points and turn them on their head. >> steve: you talked about some of the sweeteners. one of them is -- you're going to drop your jaw. >> that's why we had to vote on the bill. we can't find out any of this
5:12 am
stuff. >> steve: remember this lady right here with the obama phone. >> everybody in cleveland that's minority got obama phone! keep obama president, you know! he gave us a phone! going to give more. >> steve: so now there is a provision in the immigration bill that could be used to give free cars, motorcycles, scooters or other vehicles to young people. >> peter: that's excellent, isn't it? >> steve: ladies and gentlemen, this can be your new car. >> i want to know, are segueway scooters part of the deal? >> dana: is there any rationale why that's in there? >> it's bernie sanders. he said he would not support this. so they needed to satisfy bernie sanders. remember last thursday when it was 10:30 at night and still didn't have the text of the bill? i'm like, they're behind closed doors. it's like going, what do we have to give sanders? what do we have to give dean heller in las vegas? give him the casino kickback. guys, everyone watching this right now, this immigration bill
5:13 am
does not do what it says it does and one thing that we know that the middle class needs are jobs. this is going to lower wages and increase unemployment, at least for the next 12 years. then we're going to find all these lovelies in it. obama phones, obama cars, whatever we want to call them, this is the way the process works in washington. it's astoundingly bad. >> steve: and everybody is in a big hurry. >> why are we in a big hurry? we've been having this situation for 30 years. we found out, by the way, that they do not want to have town halls in august. they're freaking out about the town halls. >> peter: you got america fired thumb morning. >> sorry. i have got to get ready for my radio show. >> steve: and you've been filling in for bill o'reilly. >> yes, all week. we'll have a lot of fun. we have a good show tonight. >> steve: thank you very much. >> great to see you. >> dana: coming up, a doctor so fed up with obamacare, he's no longer accepting insurance. guess what? his patients are paying less. he's going to join us next. >> peter: booze and drugs didn't

5:18 am
affordable prices. will the pay as you go method end up saving you money? dr. michael champy is no longer accepting insurance at his practice in portland, maine, and he joins us today from boston. good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: why did you decide to stop taking insurance? >> there was several reasons. one of them is economic and that i run a small business and the revenues, we've been squeezed by big insurance companies and the government for many, many years to the point where a lot of private practices are either going out of business or having to join big hospital groups. so we really needed to do something in order to stay afloat because we really want to take care of patients. that's really our main priority. and so we need to do something different and the present system, we're not doing well in and what's coming with obamacare, we'd see things getting a lot worse.
5:19 am
>> steve: let's take a look at the cost difference before and after. let's say somebody comes in for a brief visit. before it would cost them $95. now it's $50. with the savings of 42% and right down the list, people will save a lot of money. cortisone injection was 125. now it is $50 for a savings of 60%. what's the reaction from your patients? >> it's been a mixed reaction. folks that have very strict hmo's that i need to be contracted with their insurance company in order to get visits paid for and folks that have medicare who can't get reimbursed for my services, it's costing them a bit more money because they're paying for both the insurance and my visit. but folks that don't have insurance or have high deductibles, which is more and more common, they're thrilled because they're on the hook for the full price until they hit
5:20 am
their deductible and most people don't even get there. they're saving real money. >> steve: and they're seeing you. they're not seeing a nurse practitioner. they're seeing you, the actual doctor. i know you told one of our producers, you're working not for obamacare, but you're working for the people you serve. >> that's it. what we really wanted to do was not have the government and not have big insurance companies in the middle of the doctor-patient relationship and by me working directly for patients, that's how we do that. >> steve: great. it's a beautiful thing. we're going to check back with you in a couple of months. maybe six months or so to see how it's going because i know some of your colleagues said, well, we'd consider it if you're still in business in a year. so we're going to follow you up. dr. michael ciampi joining us from newton, massachusetts. thank you. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. meanwhile, 20 minutes after the 20769 hour. paula deen got dumped by another company.

5:41 am
temperatures throughout the northeast, parts of the plains and into the southeast. it is really feeling like summer out there for a lot of you, even right here in new york city. i have to say it does not feel too bad, at least in the shade. but we are going to be climbing into the low 90s. we're under a heat advisory in the new york city area. because of the heat, many areas across parts of the northeast or coast are looking at air quality concerns. keep that in mind. 93 will be the high in kansas city. 102 in el paso in texas. because of the hot temperatures, we do have also humidity in place. we have a concern for severe weather across parts of the midwest. also into sections of new england, damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes will be the main concern. please heed warnings if they are issued for you in cities like chicago, minneapolis, or bismarck, north dakota. let's head back inside to steve, dana and peter. >> steve: ma mow, who has -- maria molina who has trophies for science and calculus, way to

>> it's time for your news by the numbers. first, $31.6 million. that's the amount that medicare paid for for prescriptions written by those who aren't even allowed to prescribe them, people like art therapists. how bizarre is that? next, $31 million. that's the amount of benefits taxpayers paid out to dead people? the social security administration sending checks to more than 1500 people who are no longer alive. and finally, 0. that's how much the group big brothers, big sisters will get from the department of justice. their funding has been frozen because $19 million of taxpayer money not accounted for. dana? >> dana: do you remember lois lerner, the irs boss who pled
5:47 am
the fifth instead of telling the truth? >> i've been advised by my counsel to assert my constitutional right not to testify or answer questions related to the subject matter of this hearing. >> dana: joining us now is a man who wants to fire any federal employee who does the same. welcome alabama congressman mo brooks. you have an idea, a proposal that would prevent a federal employee from being allowed to plead the fifth, that they would get fired instead. tell us about that. >> they can still plead the fifth amendment and receive protection from any kind of criminal investigation or prosecution. that's what the fifth amendment is for. but we're talking about a somewhat different setting. congress has oversight responsibilities. our job is to figure out what's gone wrong with whoever happens to be in power, whatever administration there may be and find out the truth and then having that knowledge in hand, be able to promote policies that will correct it so it doesn't happen again. we need the cooperation of federal government employees who
5:48 am
often are on the front lines of whatever scandals are involved. we expect, as part of our oversight responsibility, for those federal employees to testify. if they don't, if they plead the fifth amendment, they ought to be terminated and that's what this legislation does. >> dana: what sort of reaction have you gotten from colleagues on this, because the lois lerner example is the one that is most recent in people's memory. but this has happened before. do they think there is enough of a pattern that this kind of a bill is necessary? >> i believe that it will pass the house of representatives if the house leadership decides to let it come up for a vote. i can't speak for what might happen by way of example, the united states senate with senator harry reid. it doesn't make any difference whether it's a republican or democrat administration. whoever is in power in the white house, congress still has oversight responsibilities. the american people still have a right to know. i'm cautiously optimistic we'll be able to muster up the votes if we can have a house floor vote. >> dana: yesterday danny werfel
5:49 am
said that the targeting of groups was much broader and lasted a lot longer. one of the things that they said is that the word progressive and occupy and certain religious groups were targeted as well. have you seen any evidence of that and do you think that they're going to be able to sweep this under the rug without providing some? >> certainly the irs is trying to sweep it underneath the rug, much as occurred with the fast and furious gun running scandal of this administration, or the benghazi cover-up. those kinds of things d stonewalling, blockading the truth. that happens on a regular basis with any administration. so i would hope that we would be able to get behind in a bipartisan fashion for future administrations. >> dana: congressman, thank you so much from getting up this morning and joining us. >> thank you. >> dana: all right. coming up the five things you have laying around the house that you should not throw away no matter how much their husband begs you to. the reason? you can sell them later for a whole lot more money. first, let's check in with
