disinvestment from south africa of the investment that had been made in the history by the united states. we are pleased to be working with you you today with a common goal of expanding relations between our two countries. we are, in essence, shifting from disinvestment to reinvestment. in the era of freedom and democracy. mr. president, you are visiting africa at the right time. africa is rising. it is the second fastest growing region after asia and has become a market for

investment. that's the united states strategy -- africa. that you launched last year is well-timed to take advantage of this growing market. we already see immense value in our strategic partnerships, such as -- and look forward to strengthening the u.s./africa partnership. we're pleased to which the growing bilateral trade and investment that 600 u.s. companies in south africa, which have created in excess of 150,000 jobs. the u.s. is also a major

export market for south african product. south africa -- is biggest market in africa. accounting for more than 7 billion u.s. dollars next ports. the need for the extension of the african clothes and opportunity act which expires in 2015, our mutual trade has reached the levels preceding the session largely due to the act. arising out of this visit, we would like to see increased investment in the south african economy for

mutual benefit. we have placed on the table bankable projects which range from -- development to skilled development for the use and also across a number of sectors like information and communication technologies, agriculture and the green economy. obtaining these investments should be the drive for regional integration, industrialization and ization of supply and manufacture. mr. president, youth development is a key area for south africa given that a third of our population is under the age of 15.

this is a key feature of national development plan. therefore we welcome the education school capacity and innovation program, as well as investment in family education and teacher training. it is also our wish to extend cooperation on vocational training to develop further education and training colleges. we acknowledge the ongoing cooperation in the area of defense and under the auspices of the south africa u.s. defense committee and obtaining of the services in crime fighting we have loaded the

successful health corporation under the u.s. president's plan for aide relief family to address h.i.v. and aids and other infectious diseases which has contributed to the successes and increase in life expectancy. on promoting the african agenda, we reaffirm our common commitment to strengthening democratic governance and advancing the protection of human rights on the continent. we would like to cooperate with the u.s. in enhancing peace-building and post conflict reconstruction and development corporation. under the umbrella of the

united nations and the african union. we are concerned about the mushrooming of rebel movement in some countries in the continent at the time when the au is -- policy of zero tolerance to people who come unconstitutional means. this is is a threat hard won peace to many countries in the continent mr. president, we're incouraged by the sanctions on zimbabwe by the u.s. government and add further steps in this regard as it

will strengthen the economy of zimbabwe. we are hopeful that the african union, with the support of the international community will find solutions to the challenges we face in democratic congo. and republic and somalia. solutions that africa -- that are african led will be able to yield -- problems in the sahara region arise primarily from the manner in which the u.n. secretary council handled the libyan situation. they there are lessons to be learned in the episode. we have talked about this in our meeting the

president. mr. president, south africa remains concerned at the lack of progress in the middle east peace process. we unequivocallably support the palestinian for understood and believe in the principle of a two state solution. we have noted your latest attempts to revive the stalled negotiations and you have our support in that this regard. at the same time, we are of the view that the lasting peace in the middle east would not be possible without addressing the other ongoing conflict in the region which are a source of much -- and instability.

we are encouraged by the positive steps you have taken, mr. president, to long standing restrictions on cuba. i further urge you, mr. president, in light of the economic and financial challenges in the u.s. and in the eurozone tone courage our additional supporters. not to abandon their pledges to africa. let me also add that the reform of the united nations security council is long overdue and remains the high priority to south africa, the african continent and the developing world as a whole. finally, mr. president, i wish to reiterate south

africa's commitment to the relationship with the u.s.a. i'm happy that you will visit robin island during your visit which was home to many freedom fighters in our country for decades. i wish you plenty and productive stay in south africa for the remainder of your visit we are truly honored to host you, mr. president and i thank you. i now invite you, mr. president, to address. you have the floor. >> thank you so much, mr. president, for your generous words and your kind welcome. it is wonderful to be back in south africa. as you mentioned, i had the pleasure of visiting south africa before when i was a

u.s. senator. michelle and our daughters were here just two years ago and we're now thrilled to be back as a family. and i know that the press corps by the way is happy to be here because this is much more elegant than the white house pressroom. [ laughter ] it's a big improvement. i have to begin, of course, by saying that our thoughts and those of americans and people all around the world are with nelson mandela and his family and all of south africans. the struggle here against apartheid for freedom, the moral courage this country's historic transition to a free and democratic nation has been a personal inspiration to me. it has been an inspiration to the world and it continues to be.

in so many regions that are divided by con flick, sectarian disputes. religious or ethnic wars to see what happened in south africa, the power of principle and people standing up for what's right, i think, continues to shine as a beacon. so the outpouring of love that we have seen in recent days shows that the triumph of nelson mandela and this nation speaks to something very deep in the human spirit. the yearning for justice and dignity that transcends boundaries of race and class and faith and country. that's what nelson mandela represents. that's what south africa at its best can represent to the world, and that's what brings me back here on what

will be a two day trip in which i have opportunity to meet with a whole range of leaders here in south africa the president and i have enjoyed our company quite a bit in the g-20 and in various multilateral forms. usually, unfortunately when we are meeting, there is some crisis going on around the world. we had a more leisurely conversation today. we both agree that the stated bilateral relations between the united states and south africa are extraordinarily strong. as one of the bricks south africa's growth reflects the realities of a global economy. we welcome that we don't simply recognize it that's one of the reasons why i

institutionalized the g-20 because it reflects the reality of today's world and today's economy and the need for this continent to be represented in any discussions about the direction of the world economy. so, the united states views south africa as a critical partner. and mr. president, i very much appreciate our personal friendship and partnership. as you have noted, africa is on the rise and south africa is always at the forefront of friends in africa. i see south africa as critical as one of my top priorities on this trip. that is to promote trade and investment that helps unleash economic growth here in africa and ultimately will benefit the united states of america. we export more products to south africa than any other nation. here in africa hundreds of

companies as you noted operated here in south africa. south african companies are investing back in the united states like cetsel millions of dollars of investment in u.s. energy. including my home state of illinois. as the largest economy in the region, growth here can drive growth all south africa. i wanted our countries to be doing more business together. one of the things that i have said to our press corps during this trip is that all too often attention is only paid to africa when there is a crisis. but, in fact, six of the 10 largest economies in the world or six of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world are in africa. there is enormous progress being made and enormous potential to be made. but on or aboutously we have a lot more work to do. i think we can do it together. today almost all of all of south africa's exports to the united states, 98%

already enter our markets duty free. i told president zoom that i want to remore trade and more jobs. i have got to show american companies that are operating on a level playing field when they invest or trying to export into south africa. we're going to make sure that our trade negotiators have a serious conversation about how we get a win-win formula that delivers jobs and opportunity for people here in south africa and also in the united states our commitment to progress and human dignity extends to our shared efforts to combat h.i.v./aids. since i took office, we have continued the good work of pep far and we have built on it so here in south africa we are delivering anti-retroviral treatments to 1.6 million

people, which along with our prevention efforts is helping to save millions of lives. i want to commend south africa for its standing leadership on their. within a few years, south africa will become the first country in south africa to manage h.i.v. care and treatment program and the united states will increasingly focus on prevention and strengthening public health systems. this is an example of how how rather than a one-way street of aid to africa. this is a partnership of equals working together to solve common challenges. that's what we need to see in all areas of endeavor. we're working together to advance the dignity of all of our citizens. since opportunities for women and girls means greater prosperity for everybody, i'm hopeful that we will be able to welcome

south africa to our future partnership. make sure every company is committed to developing for women and for girls. some people know that my mother was involved in international development. she taught me when i was very young, you can measure how well a country does by how well it treats its women. if it's educating its women and giving them opportunity that country does well. if not that country does not advance. i believe that so, i also want to commend your parliament for passing a landmark law to combat the modern slavery that is human trafficking. something that is still a crisis around the world. this afternoon i will be in swedo to announce a major expansion to invest in young africans that will shape this country and continent for decades to

many cop. regionally i want to thank south africa from promoting peace between sudan and south sudan tone couraging economic cooperation across the continent. as the president mentioned, we discussed the situation in taksim back way assume back way. zimbabwe. we also discussed the congo where i have assigned a new envoy to the region. russ feingold a former senator and chairman of the africa committee he is going to lead our efforts in support of the framework for peace. and the united states and south africa agree that all nations should implement the commitments under that framework quickly to bring the tragedy of the con go

to an end. finally as president zuma mentioned we discussed a range of global challenges. our governments don't agree on every issue. no two countries do. we have seen the progress we can make together on nuclear security, on climate change, given south africa's history and given what it represents to the world and given the interest we share as democracies that believe in constitutions and rule of law and human rights and the dignities of all people, i believe that we can stand soldier to soldier -- shoulder to shoulder for issues of security and justice. and human rights i believe when the united states and south africa stand together on an issue in multilateral forum it's hard to resist. to so president zoom marks i want to thank you for welcoming me here today. i want to thank you for the work that we have done together.

it is a great joy for me to be visiting and spending time here in south africa. i have had occasion to visit robin island myself but for me to be able to bring my daughters there and teach them the history of that place and this country and help them to understand not only how those lessons apply to their own lives but also to their responsibilities in the future as citizens of the world. that's a great privilege and a great honor. so i thank you and to it all the people of south africa, there is enormous affection and admiration for you in the united states. and i hope that i adequately expressed that during my visit. >> thank you very much. we will now take questions.

>> one question to both presidents. maybe starting with president obama. you have come to africa, to south africa of course to boost and strengthen trade. so, perhaps, someone saying well, the united states is somehow threatened because there are other players who are coming to africa, especially china. china is not only coming here in waves but also indeed. so perhaps president obama threatened -- is in danger and the other quick question president obama, south africa -- come will the united states support it, u.n. to president zuma. you as the voice indicated

south africa -- we have seen some pockets of rebels as you indicated in congo and maly and elsewhere. what other stance have you -- america is one of the advanced countries that can help in many areas. thank you. >> well, first of all, i'm here in africa because i think the united states needs to engage in a continent full of promise and possibility. i think it's good for the united states regardless of what others do: i actually welcome the attention that africa is receiving from countries like china and brazil and india and

turkey. because, number one, the more interest they show in africa, the more tools we have and mechanisms we have to further incorporate africa into the global economy which had the potential of creating jobs and businesses and opportunity. so i don't feel threatened by it i think it's a good thing. now, i do think it's important for africans to make sure that these interactions are good for africa. because -- let me just take the example of natural resources. i think there has been a long history of extracting resources from africa. you take raw materials, you send them to some place elsewhere they get used, processed, sometimes sold back to africa. the profits stay there, the jobs stay there, and not much stays in africa. and there is a long history

of that. well, the truth is, the united states at this point on issues of energy, for example, frankly, we don't need energy from africa. because of advances that have been made, we're seeing oil production and natural gas production as well as clean energy production all growing at a rapid rate in the united states. so, our primary interest when it comes to working with africa on energy issues has to do with how do we power africa so that it can be an effective market creating jobs and opportunity in africa but then we also then have somebody to trade with with and sell ipods to and airplanes all kinds of good stuff. [ laughter ]

so, when we look at what other countries are doing in africa, i think our only -- our only advice is to make sure it's a good deal for africa. somebody says they want to come build something here, are they hiring african workers? somebody says that they want to help i develop your natural resources? how much of the money is staying in africa? if they say that they are very interested in a certain industry, is the manufacturing and value added done in africa? are they tolerating corruption that's not beflting the people but just benefiting a few at

the top in their interactions with african countries? those are the questions africa should be asking. and hopefully one of the things that we can do is in our interactions, as a country that doesn't is v. a colonial history here. a as a country that has made large investments in development on issues like h.i.v., aids, hopefully we can garner some trust when people ask us, you know, what are the kinds of development strategies that are going to be sustaining over the long term? but, as i said, i want everybody playing in africa. the more the merrier. that is good. that gives africans leverage which i think is useful. but, again, ask those questions. don't just assume that folks come here and they

are automatically benefiting africans. and that includes the united states, you know. ask questions in terms of what we do. with respect to the united nations, president zuma and i discussed the fact that just as i wanted to institutionalize the g-20 because it's more reflective of the world, i think the united nations structure which was created post world war ii is going to have to be updated. how we do that, in what fashion is complicated. it's difficult. and it involves all kinds of politics. i will say this, that that an expansion of, let's say the security council, that in which the continent of africa had no

representation would be up. but how that moves forward is something that i think will involve a lot of negotiations and a lot of discussions. and the one thing that i shared with president zuma is everybody wants a seat at the table, but when it comes time to step up and show responsibility, sometimes people want to be free riders. they love sitting around the table deciding what to toexcept when it comes bearing the burdens, bearing the costs and sometimes sharing the blame for difficult decisions that have to be made then suddenly, well, i'm neutral. i'm not alive. don't ask me to -- i'm not referring to south africa particularly. i'm just saying countries

generally like the idea of being part of -- one of the things the united states has done and obviously we are not perfect, but us coming to the table comes by virtue of the fact that we bear a lot of responsibility. if there is a crisis in the world, people ask us what are you doing about it? they ask why haven't you intervened militarily you are letting people die. if you intervene militarily they ask why did you intervene militarily? they ask us to foot the bill. the expectation is why aren't you footing the bill? if there is poverty or crisis or humanitarian disaster, the natural expectation immediately is what's the united states doing? now, we shoulder that burden gladly. we think that's part of our

responsibility. we have been incredibly blessed. but, the simple point i make and i say this everywhere i go is with rights come responsibilities. and burdens, and it's not always comfortable and you can't always make everybody happy. it's like being president of a country. [ laughter ] thank you. >> thank you very much. effectively the question of africa and its history and the development globally, i think they should be taken what they are without assumptions. today we are talking about the globalized world. if the world is global blizzing. why should there be a question about africa that africa must remain some way

i think since the end of the cold war the world is working together. there is no country that is isolated. china has a lot of relations with uk, u.s.a., africa is a region why singled out for some views so to speak. i don't think in my understandable. why is it fair to africa. told who africa can have relations with or this one or that one. i don't think that talks to our acceptance of globalization. we are globalizing. africa must be part of globalization. to say we aren't globalizing relations with

certain regions and not other regions. if we have relations with other regions, question. now, do i think countries that come to interact with africa should be questioned why are you doing it? i think it is in the nature of globalization that, in fact, africa is saying it can no longer be bypassed by events that change the world. we're part of it. that's why we relate to the bigger economies. we want the relationship that president obama say that benefits both because historical. the kind of relation what's with other regions were one-sided. president is saying that we want localization be teen into account. whoever is trying to make relations with us.

benefits our resources so that they benefit us. we ourselves as another kind of area, we have said we needed to do trade among ourselves. intertrade in the continent of africa. we are putting our five economy regions together so that we work as a continent together. we are having massive program in terms of the infrastructure to i understand great what you are talking about. to create that necessary platform. so whoever comes and invest, we don't ask are you an american? are you a chinese? no we enter into the relationship that must benefit both. and i'm happy that the united states shares that view as well. so, that is how these interactions are interpreted. as far as the african continent is concerned. speaking with one voice. we are not speaking as one voice as a continent. that's why we look at those

who try to one country that this side and the other. that's why the relations we have with other regions we try to do them as a unit, as entity as a nation rather than as individual country. that is what is happening. coming here because of other reasons that we don't know. we take them genuinely that they are establishing relations that must benefit us, who must also appreciate the history of the continent where we come from. why we are lagging behind. what could do to help news terms of the relationships that we have to move forward as well. with regard to the issue of the united nations security council, i, again agree with the president that the institution was done in the mid 40s. when many countries did not exist.

they did not participate in observing rules and regulations. things have changed. the world is different today. we can't continue with those kind of conditions. it does not reflect what is happening today. that's why we believe each and every region must be represented at all levels. so that can be part of decision-making in this international important body. the process is important that it is looked at but also should be realistic because, again, why we say we need that as a president we saying we don't want people that are justing going to come and sit there and enjoy status. countries must be looked at or regions. why should countries be members of this important body that take final decision? do they have a contribution to make? watch is it that is going to be used as a criteria country, let alone the

regions as to why this particular country must be a member? those are matters i think those were in the national -- u.n. security council or u.n. security council, rather. they must begin to discuss those matters. what is it that you are going to say are important criteria to say this country can come so that we help the process? if the countries are not talking about it, you then allow the process to stay there and people saying also some things. if in the smallest country right to say something but then expecting to be there and they may have no contribution to make. i'm not saying other countries can't. they can. but we are talking about an institution that takes very decisive decisions about the life of the globe. i am just saying, i would be happy if this matter is pushed quicker so that final decisions are taken. on question regarding

whether we discussed what the united states could do to help africa in the processes that it is trying to help itself, economically, security situation, et cetera, we discussed that and we have agreed and i'm very happy, the agreement is very clear that africa has said we need the african-led kind of processes, and that other should help support the process and we are at one with president obama on that one and absolutely correct so that we should be supported we are looking at very specific thing, new trend of in the continent. we need to do want to nip it in the bud. ask countries to volunteer

who could be part of if by force ask act immediately to deal with it and would want big countries like the united states to support us in those kind of friction. i think we are in agreement with our talk. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> >> from the associated press, julie pace. >> thank you, mr. president. i wanted to first see if you could comment on the situation in egypt and the u.s. concern about protests there and also, politics in kenya appear to have affected your ability to travel there despite your family ties. can you reflect personally on not being able to go to the country where your father was born and what does the situation in kenya and in places like zimbabwe say about the difficulties of fulfilling nelson mandela's vision for on the continent. president zuma given your country's high unemployment

and challenges is the anc in current form living up to mandela's legacy. thank you? >> on egypt. obviously we are all looking at the situation there with concern. the -- it has been challenging given that there is not a tradition of democracy in egypt. and the egyptian people have been finding their way. our most immediate concern with respect to protests this weekend have to do with our embassies and consulates. we have been' in direct contact with the egyptian government and we have done a whole range of planning to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep our ambassadors and con solutes protected. and and diplomats and personnel there safe. more broadly.

what we have said publicly and what we have said privately is that we support peaceful process, peaceful protests and peaceful methods of bringing about change in egypt. i think every party has to denounce violence why would like to see the opposition and president morsey engaged in a proper constructive conversation about how they move their country forward because nobody is benefiting from the current stalemate that exists there. and, you know, we do not take sides in terms of who should be elected by the egyptian people. we do take sides in terms of observing a process for democracy and rule of law

and that all the players there engage in the necessary tough compromises so that they can start focusing on the things that probably matter most to the ordinary egyptian, which is jobs, energy costs, food costs, housing, schooling for their kids, creating economic opportunity, and egypt i think for the last year and a half two years has had great difficulty focusing on those vital issues. so, again, top priority, making sure that our embassies and consulates are prepared for this wave of protests. number two, we are supportive of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly inside of egypt. but we would urge all parties to make sure that they are not engaging in violence and that police and military are showing appropriate restraint and, number three, how do we make sure that we get this

political process back on track? and that's a difficult and challenging situation. but egypt is the largest country in the arab world and i think the entire region is concerned that if egypt continues with this constant instability, that that has adverse effects more broadly. your second question, kenya. you know, there had just been an election in kenya that thankfully, did not see the same kind of violence as the previous election. a newly installed president but let's be honest a situation in which this new government was still working out issues with the international community in part daghtsd back to the previous election. and the timing was not

right for me as the president of the united states to be visiting kenya when those issues are still being worked on and hopefully at some point resolved. we believe kenya needs to abide by various international commitments that it's made. having said that kenya can is one of our oldest partners in the country we have outstanding bilateral relations. people-to-people contacts remain extraordinarily strong. we work with them on all sorts of issues. economic, security, youth exchanges, you name it it and that will continue. my personal ties to the people of kenya, you know, by definition are going to be strong. land stay strong. i have been to kenya multiple times in the past

and i suspect i will be to kenya multiple times in the future and will continue to be deeply concerned with the progress that's made in that country. i think it has enormous potential. kenya is like south africa. there is a country blessed with incredible resources incredible beauty. brilliant people there have been times in the past where government held back progress and sometimes ethnic conflict held back progress. and obviously prior to that, colonialism and racism sometimes held back progress but the future for kenya like the future of the continent is potentially bright and the united states wants to be a partner in that process. did you have a third question for me? >> were [inaudible] kenya zimbabwe. >> absolutely.

look, nelson mandela showed what is possible and the people of south africa have shown what's possible when a priority is placed on constitutions and rule of law and respect for human dignity and that all people are treated equally. and that we will rise above our parochial concerns. and what nelson mandela also stood for is the recognition inned that the well being of a country is more important than the interest of any one person. the reason that george washington is our most admired president is because after two terms he said enough, i'm going back to being a citizen.

and if you look at u.s. history, there was no rule at the time in the constitution, there was no term limits and he was so popular, he could have easily been president of the united states for life. he said i'm a citizen. i have served my time. i have engaged my service and then it's time for the next person beast because that's what a democracy is about. nelson mandela similarly i think was able to recognize despite how reveereds he was part of this transition process was to able to recognize bigger than just one person. even one of the greatest people in history. what an incredible lesson that is so i think for the entire continent, for every leader not just in africa. for every leader around the world to think about those

principles, that governs for the people have to be based on constitutions and rules in which every -- every person is treated equally and nobody is above the law, and this we as leaders, you know, we occupy these spaces temporarily. we don't get to so diluted that we start thinking that the fate of our country depends on how long we stay in office when you have that as a foundation and you start building in transparency and accountability and good governance and delivering services for people then you have a recipe for dises success. the economy starts booming and the private sector effective.

my hope would be that every country in the -- around the world but certainly in africa can benefit from those lessons. if you look at zimbabwe, it used to be -- >> alisyn: good morning, everyone. been listening to a joit joint press conference with president obama and president zuma of south africa. they are appearing in prey prey tore i can't south africa. -- pretoria, south africa. we will keep an ear out and more news. >> overshadowing the whole press conference is the legacy of nelson mandela and what will happen after nelson mandela. much more of "fox & friends" in just two minutes. we'll be right back. ♪

confused about the affordable care act and obama care and what it really is going to mean to them personally or to their family or their business. they are confused. those people who do think they understand what it means aren't sold on it and they are worried about the future. here are the latest fox news polls taken here, 39% now want to repeal obama care entirely. 19% say they want repeal just parts of it exact same amount 19% say they want to leave it as is and 17% say they want to expand it. >> tucker: here is what i thought was the most interest of all the polls. how does obama care make you feel about your healthcare in the future? so, in july of 2012, a year ago, 51 percent said they were worried while he thinking about obama care. now that number is 66%. >> clayton: so much so the white house is taking on celebrities to go out there advertising campaign. we have heard about this story bringing in celebrities to try to get pr campaign around it we know small business groups

to enforce. judicial branch allow it to do so on grounds that the executive branch did not defend the laws in court. the legislative branch would have very limited power because they turned it all over to the president and the people would feel like they had no representation. the president told us he was going to fundamentally transform america and i think that is exactly what he is doing. >> clayton: certainly on the heels of the nsa scandals. four programs out there monitoring every email communication of every american in some big data log. >> tucker: and your financial transactions. >> clayton: what does tyranny look like? >> tucker: it looks like that. >> clayton: find us on ff weekend. rick reichmuth has been standing by patiently all morning. >> alisyn: patiently? >> clayton: patiently. >> tucker: good morning, rick. >> talk about how hot it is. >> clayton: phoenix is like on fire. >> 118 in phoenix.

>> yes, she has a fifth amendment right to remain silent. she sat there and could have said nothing. we had a witness this week who did that we had a witness this week who said nothing. she didn't. >> the records will show from the very beginning when she was summoned to this committee she resisted and she invoked her fifth amendment right. she came here under subpoena, a partisan issued subpoena, i might add, not supported by our side. against her will. and she made a statement and then refused to answer any questions and was dismissed by the chairman properly so. >> tucker: members of a house committee hashed it out whether irs official lois lerner waived her fifth amendment right to remain silent during a hearing. even though there was a disagreement a majority of members thought she had, in fact, waived that right. here to weigh in now is congressman louie gohmert of texas. we are always honored to have you. >> always love being here. thank you.

>> so did she? >> it sure sounded like it to me now as a judge handling all kinds of felony cases, i would advise people you have the right to remain silent, but, if you waive that right. if you begin to testify at all, you have waived that right, you cannot claim the fifth amendment at that point. and at that point, if you decide not to answer questions, i will put you in jail until you finish answering questions. it's that serious. you don't start talking unless you intend to waive your fifth amendment right. >> tucker: lois lerner showed up and said i'm going to tell my i side of the story which i did nothing wrong. >> she said all the exculpatory things. yes, i did nothing wrong. i'm totally innocent. everything i did was proper and now i'm taking the fifth. oh, no you are not. you just testified before this committee. did you nothing wrong. now you will answer questions. >> tucker: the committee

allowed her to do that i watched it. >> of course. i would allow people to do that as a judge. but they are not in a criminal setting they are under no legal obligation to read her rights. no obligation to cut her off. when she starts saying did i nothing wrong, i'm totally innocent, i believe she has waived it. i believe that trey, i believe the committee is right. you had a good example on wednesday, our friend mr. roseman, the deputy irs director who was throwing the biggest contract in u.s. history to gee crony capitalism comes to mind. to his good buddy tat had the military disability because he turned his ankle in a prep school getting ready to go to military school. and as a result he is going to get a 500-million-dollar contract. well, roseman came in, he didn't say i'm not guilty, i didn't do anything wrong.

he knew better than that he had a better lawyer. so he came in and said i'm taking the fifth. i'm not talking. that's how you do that. >> tucker: is there a chance that lois lerner will be hauled back before the committee? >> oh, yeah. now that they have said she waived her fifth amendment right, the next step is to subpoena her, to have her come back and then at that point, if she refuses, not a criminal court, then they will have to find her in contempt. there will be a vote on whether or not she is in contempt. and then if she is, then it goes to the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia. and gee, aren't they always helpful to us in. >> not always. i want to get your reaction because i can't resist. these are some items purchased with irs credit cards. >> isn't that unbelievable? >> tucker: put this up on the screen. nerf footballs. thomas the tank engine rubber wrist bands. the world's largest cross word puzzle. stove top hats.

purgatory personally. getting his just deserts. >> you don't want to be there more than an hour. >> alisyn: particularly hellish. some people have said the president should pick up the phone and call putin directly. but the president's point is there we have an extradition respect generally historically speaking and it should happen. there is protocol that should happen without the president's having to get involved in that level. if you were president, would you pick up the phone and call putin and beg for snowden back. >> no. the big mistake. allen dershowitz made this very clear a week before the charges were filed if the government is smarted they won't charge him with espionage. charge him with simple theft. no basis for him to deny the extradition. of course now we know. the government isn't smart. what do they charge him with? espionage. now it becomes an international asylum and political issue. they are not necessarily going to get him back. i thought it was interesting the president said i'm not going to scramble for 29-year-old acting like dismissive, no

big deal. two weeks ago the biggest security leak in the world. >> exactly, by the way. considering the many phone calls he has made for lesser causes, calling sandra fluke after limbaugh was mean to her. calling collins balls is he gay? great. calling michael vick's new boss on congratulating him on hiring a dog torturing creep? come on. >> he has a habit of calling people while they are on nbc doing live interviews as he did some the prop 8, you know, plaintiffs. it's interesting. i keep my phone with me at all times just in case she should ever want to spread the love around and give me a call. >> clayton: back to your point sort of down playing. let's listen to the president's -- if you missed it this past week. here is the president talking about edward snowden and not scrambling the jets because he said something interesting here. listen. >> i have not called president personally or president putin personally. and the reason is because, number one, i shouldn't

have to. >> i shouldn't have to but then he goes on to say i'm not going to scramble jess for some hacker. is he down playing it? i thought it was a breach of national security? >> it can't be both. can't be the greatest security leak we have ever had. this guy has released massive secrets and turn around and say it's not that big of deal. he a 29-year-old hacker and i'm not going to scramble a jet for him. this the fact remains this is an administration that's lost the respect of the rest of the world and he came into office with all the expectation that when he, just smiled at the cram are camera, the rest of the world will say that's wonderful we will do exactly what you would like for us to do. >> alisyn: what should we do with edward snowden now in limbo what's the answer. >> the has been is to first be honest with the american people what secrets are being kept about it bigger issue, edward snowden is not the issue. everybody is talking about edward snowden. he is not the issue. the issue is our government. and what are they keeping records of? how much information are

they you and you and you and maybe even me. >> clayton: learned friday four new programs at the nsa. not just the prism program that we talked so much about. other programs of spying. we learned this week that they were recording every email exchange of every american. any skype call that any american made to a loved one overseas that says to me that maybe even they were recording skype calls of soldiers talking to their kids back home. >> tucker: we know they were in fact doing just that everything. >> wait until these records start getting subpoenaed in divorce proceedings the. wait until somebody finds a way to legally demand that these records are either part of a criminal investigation or worse a civil action and then you are going to see all kinds of people screaming over it. >> tucker: speaking of divorce proceedings, the most interesting story i have read today in the daily mail and it concerns something i think a lot of men do. you are in an argument with your spouse. >> not that i ever have one. edneedless to say. the rest of us do.

if we don't understand that. we are kidding ourselves. >> clayton: pulling out of afghanistan now. we should have met with the taliban 10 years ago. real little? we should have met with the taliban 10 years ago? but, if they are going to have some regional sharing in afghanistan, wouldn't it behoove us to have some sort of dialogue? that is their argument. >> alisyn: and know your enemy. >> know your enemy is fine. you can know your enemy without bringing over the hershey bars and gram crackers and say let's make s'mores. this is ridiculous. american soldiers coming back in body bags because of radical islam. 14 dead people at fort hood because of radical islam. dead soldier in little rock. 3,000 people killed in new york on 9/11. how many times do we have to get it that there is a movement in this world. it is a global movement, and the intention is to i understand the lives of all of house are infidels. it's pretty simple, really. >> tucker: it that would include you. >> it would include you. >> tucker: governor

thanks for having me on. >> we were have a bit of a discussion last week on the show. >> i saw that. >> clayton: the argument is, what, men are simply giving up hope on marriage because they are beaten counsel? >> no, i don't think they are giving up hope on marriage. what they're doing look at cost eboard. the penalties for marriage are so high and rewards are so low. there is legal cost of marriage. so many men just saying it's not worth it to me. i'm going to be stuck paying the alimony and stuck paying the child support. it's not just legal reasons. it's also psychological ones where men feel that basically they don't really have rights in marriage. women hold all the cards now reproduction and men don't. >> that's all true. i agree with that completely. it doesn't doesn't absolve men of the responsibility about stop complaining how the cards are against them and man up. you don't become a man until you assume responsibility. >> what man would take such a raw deal. i don't consider that a man. >> tucker: not a raw deal. you derive deep

so easily. look. this is what's going on right now. they're investigating. this is just an investigation whether the first person who was killed was killed because he knew about another homicide that hernandez may have been involved in. again, this is just the investigation. there's been no charges, to be clear. this homicide or this individual that night angered aaron hernandez. >> you mean odin lloyd. >> odin lloyd. he was talking to another group of individuals and he got furious that he was talking to -- >> it wasn't that night, clayton. that's the crazy part. it was the night before when they were in a nightclub and it was a conversation and lloyd was talking to a group of individuals and it was next day or the day afghanistan. >> two days later. so it was not a crime of passion. premeditated. i've been paying attention. >> but that conversation could have been discussing a previous homicide, that's why he was so angry. >> that's what's being

investigated. also being investigated his affiliation with a real gang, the crypts and the blood. his affiliation with that. apparently he's got tattoos that indicate maybe he may be a member of one of these gangs which is just, you know, a whole other level. >> bring us up to date on the zimmerman trial. you had a prosecution witness, a witness for the prosecution this week called on the stand and forced to admit that she didn't write the letter. >> if i may, i want to move back one day before that to opening statements. the prosecutor stood up and gave as professional and as excellent an opening statement as you could imagine in this type of environmental with the amount of pressure and everything, the media scrutiny. the defense missed an opportunity. they have so much ammunition.

the prosecution stood up there and won them other and the defense went on for two hours and 40 minutes. the average attention span of a jury is 12 minutes. when you get into the two hour and 40 minute zone, that's where you mess up. she wasn't prepared well enough. she wasn't prepared as well -- >> the witness. >> the witness was not as well prepared as i would have like her to have been prepared. with the witnesses, she may have said, look, i'll come to the trial, but i'm not going to come to your office or get involved with law enforcement. you bring me to court and put me on the stand and i'll say what i say. we don't know if they didn't have time to talk with her. this woman doesn't speak publicly for a living. she's on the stand speaking publicly probably for the first time in her life. that's not something that comes

naturally. you know what i used to do, clayton? >> i used to take the witness into the empty courtroom and have them practice sitting there. did you see her answers? she was so introverted and then she wasn't prepped properly on how to answer the defense. you can't be all nice and answering with the prosecutor and then you're rolling your eyes. you're snubbing your nose at the system which then hurts her credibility. >> thank you, arthur. we should mention our own greta van susteren will be live from the courtroom monday and tuesday. you do not want to miss that. >> thank you. this is a real case and it's going to be fascinating to watch. >> it already is. we have a fox news alert for you right now. a convoy of nato troops has been attacked in western afghanistan by a suicide bomber. two civilians were killed and five more wounded.

minute ago. here's what he said. >> it was lois lerner herself at the phony staged meeting. they finally admitted what a lot of people had been suggesting. now she goes and says i didn't do anything wrong. you said you did. now you can't say you did. >> congressman tray echoed those statements when he said she made nine separate assertion. before making fifth she had nine separate assertions and lack of wrongdoing and that's not the technical definition of pleading the fifth. >> still the irs is denying having done any wrongdoing as has lois. it shows the irs targeted 290

different tea party groups and only six progressive groups, so we know those were the ones that were targeted. >> yeah. this is not a bipartisan deal. the president's political opponents got shafted and his political allies were helped. there was not a single tea party-related group to get tax exempt status over two years. case closed. coming up on the show, do you think school is there to help your student for the future? think again. it's helping your student to prepare for obama care. that's coming up. she's one of the hottest models around and brooklyn decker is honoring our troops. she's live. >> it's like looking in the mirror. >> alisyn, how did we get that video of you? >> i don't know. it's just what i do on the beach. every parent wants the safest and healthiest products

columnist. as i understand it the state of california has received money. have i miss underthstood this? >> no. you hit it right on the head. here's the thing. he's off doing photo ons in africa but there's only 94 days until this train wreck. they're trying to get people to sell obama care, so the california exchange got $37 million taxpayer dollars to spendo get people to buy into obama care. they give a million of it to the l.a. school district. this is taxpayer money that's going to go to teachers who are already being paid. instead of teaching english they're going to teach the kids how to sell obama care to

family, friends, and neighbors. it's a pilot program and if it works, they say they're going to use it to train kids to indoctrinate them for other government messages. >> this is kem ma ryu stuff. this is creepy. are people up in arms about this or do people even notice? >> nope. >> they didn't notice. >> it didn't get much press coverage. it's like asking a fish what water tastes like. it goes down here. it's pretty dangerous. indo indoctrination is suspect. when i was a kid it was anti-communism and sex education and as a young man i recall being more interested in one program than the other but they were very controversial and now we have this one. to me it's absolutely stunning that nobody says is this the

can be it. what do you think? >> i think you're comparing southern hospitality to yankee ingenuity. after hurricane sandy we certainly helped each other out but we certainly don't want to get into other's business because we want to assume you can take care of yourself unless you need help. we're very self-reliant and we're in a hurry. there's a lot of people around here. >> here's another thing to weigh in on. not caring is not something women do especially when it comes to our hair. is there something to southern women take care of themselves physically or their appearance? >> no, i don't think as a rule that's true at all. but i do know in the south we still have sunday clothes, clothes we consider dressier or church cloekthes in particular. but we have a lot of peer

pressure. i have a friend whose aunt spent her entire life planning her funeral and she my friend the other day, put me in the pink dress for visitation, the red dress for the burial and she said no one changes dresses. she said i do because everyone who knows me knows i would not be out in the same dress two days in a row. >> she's doing an outfit change. that is fantastic. >> exactly. >> do you have a response to the appearance question? >> again, we're in a hurry. i came through the lincoln tunnel and someone with a virginia license plate got yelled at for not going fast enough. we don't have time for all of that. >> is that's why you see us with our hair in a ponytail. we don't have time. that's an excellent point. jen singer, ronda rich, thank you so much for the fun debate. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> have a great day.

>> you too. throw everything you know about marriage out the window. saying "yes, diear, you're righ" is so wrong. and brook lip decker, the hottest model is going to join us live. she's honoring the troops. hi, i'm terry and i have diabetic nerve pain. i worked a patrol unit for 17 years in the city of baltimore. when i first started experiencing the pain, it's, it's hard to describe because you have a numbness... but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. when i went back to my healthcare professional... that's when she suggested the lyrica. once i started taking the lyrica, the pain started subsiding. [ male announcer ] it's known that diabetes damages rves. lyrica is fda approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone.

hey, coming up in just a moment. what's the one thing you should never say to your wife or spouse in a fight. we will tell you. >> i've never seen you guys so excited that brooklyn decker is coming up. >> usually when she's here we're not excited? >> let me tell you what's happening. a man who is wanted for a home invasion in new jersey. he was caught on nanny cam. he was found hiding out. police say he beat the young mom while her 3-year-old daughter watched. >> we're all ecstatic that they got the guy. it's a heinous crime and he needs to be punished, the first step is to catch him and they caught him. >> the neighborhood is starting a watch group to prevent future

fraud. they say they had a tradition of kneeling in prayer after the a big game but that is tradition no more. they're prevented from doing it because a patient complained to aclu that there is no separation of church and state when this happens. >> and special recognition to a north carolina boy who battled cancer and won. >> it's my honor to swear in mr. rivers malcolm as an honorary north carolina highway patrol. >> what are you going to do? ride and get hand cuffs? what are you doing? >> i'm doing all of that. >> in 2010 doctors found cancer in river malcolm's kidneys. he underwent stem cell surgery and he's now cancer-free. some bosses say providing alcohol at work not only keeps the workers happier but keeps them in the office longer. instead of rushing out for a

beer, they stay on the job, get more done. they also say having booze at work helps workers socialize and bond. >> tom says it's a great idea. i know i'd be more mode vated to stat at work longer and get more done. >> amy disagrees. it's ineverybodiably people will take it too far. and there's nothing less productive than a drunk employee but possibly more amusing. >> just for the comedic effect. >> that's why we keep rick around. >> you know it's up there on the shelf. >> it's like a tgi friday or something. >> you're right. give me some wings. let's talk about the weather, guys. so much across the weekend. this picture was sent in to me from tucson, arizona. a spectacular shot of the super moon across the desert. see this cactus? thank you, paul, for sending that in.

good call. men, does this happen to you? >> make sure you call me right when you get to the hotel not like the conference in phoenix where i had to wait for two hours. >> i was a keynote speaker. i was late. i had to get to the podium. >> and? >> you're right. i'm sorry. >> turns out there's a reason he got treat thad way. >> research. >> yeah, research, research, research. arizona state has found out when a woman is fired up and mad at the man, the worst thing you can do to resolve the conflict is to say, yes, dear, okay, dear. 68% of the men say they can do that. it's wrong. do you know why? >> it's condescend. >> women know it's not true. >> if i say yes, dear, that's

better than, yes, deerks i get it. of course that's going to elevate the conversation. >> think you should ban the phrase. we know it's condescending. you haven't really heard us. take a page from my husband. he repeats back what i said. i go, yes, yes, you understand me. thank you. >>ic lure your life experience but i'd really like to get the experience of one of the most beautiful women in the world and the "sports illustrated" swimsuit. and she's married to a tennis great andy roddick. >> how do you end an gaumt and try to get out of conflict. >> it depends. usually if he wants to be in my good graces, you know, you are right, i was wrong. it's definitely not yes, dear. it's so patronizing.

don't say yes, dear. >> yes, dear, you were right, and i was wrong. >> and it has to be genuine. >> does your repeating back the complaint to you work? >> say what? >> would repeating back your complaint to you if you say stop doing this and he says, you're right. i was doing this. i was wrong to do that, would that be effective? >> that would probably be effective for a little while. yeah, i agree with you. i think that would work. it's not yes, dear. come on. >> that's the worst. >> so brooklyn, tell us what you're doing with the uso. >> so we're here at national field in d.c. with lowe's kicking off the fourth of july holiday and honoring our troops with a grill of honor, which is basically a big giant cook-off between all the military brap. s and they're competing for a $100,000 donation from lowe's to the ufo. >> that sounds like a lot of

fun. there's going to be a lot of grilled meat. what do you look for in a good grill master so men out there know how to win over brooke? >> this is a good test for me. i live in austin so i'm a barbecue expert. i'm looking for the texture and seasoning. >> you don't want to go overseasoning. >> exactly. >> now, the regions of barbecue, some like it with the vinegar, some regions of the south like -- >> dry rub. >> where do you stand on that. >> oh, no. did we just lose her? >> i grew up in north carolina. it's a vinegar and mustard base. and i grew up in texas. growing up, i have to go with north carolina. i think they're the best. >> very true. >> we probably shouldn't take sides but in this case i'm going to reveal i complete with you

parents, bad news for college kids waking up this morning. interest rates on their student stafford loans are set to double on monday. the u.s. senate left town without fixing this problem and now rates will go from 3.4% to 6.8% on july 1st. they knew this was coming. caroline may joins us. great to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me on. >> congress knew this was

coming. they've been in battle over immigration and others. they knew that leaving for july 4th recess that these interest rates would double. any sign of they're actually going to come back from recess and try to fix this retroactively or is this done? >> on july 10th, they're actually going to be looking for it. democrats want to expend it for another year or two. but republicans and actually the president in his budget laid out that they want to tie those two treasury -- to the treasury, and that way it would sort of flex yat with the market rather than be held artificially low. >> and college students are really getting brunt of a lot of problems lately too. the rising cost of tuition, these interest rates going up, the inability for them to ever have to deal or file for bankruptcy. that loan gets saddled with them even if they file for bankruptcy. >> yeah. that is one thing. outside of the interest rates going up, the cost of tuition

has skyrocketed in the last few decades. so when students are looking at enrolling in the college, they need to consider the cost benefit analysis. is their major going to be able to get them a job after college to pay back the loans? >> some 50% of college graduates -- this was in "the wall street journal" the other day -- are in a job that doesn't require a degree. students need to know what they're going to enroll in. >> there is one option. working for the federal government. >> you sign up and work for the federal government, they'll try to help you pay off your student loans. and then i know some players see a lack of degree as resume enhancers. i know at least one. federal government will help you pay off your loans.
