today to see him for an hour. >>brian: really? i didn't know you live far enough away to get the bus. five million facebook followers. >>steve: about that many twitter followers as well. >>brian: he thought at ten he would be famous and locked up his own name. >>gretchen: i feel like i'm in a tennis match. >>brian: he'll be singing shortly. >>gretchen: glad to know you guys are up to speed with the latest and greatest. we have headlines. the motor city is famous for the wrong reason, making history for the wrong reason. detroit, the largest municipality in american history to file for bankruptcy. a state-appointed emergency manager filed for chapter 9 protection. detroit struggled as businesses declined. the mayor says the city is down but not out. >> as tough as this is, i really didn't want to go in this direction. this is very difficult for

all of us, but if it's going to make the citizens better off, then this is a new start for us. >>gretchen: general motors, of course, a huge employer there, says it has no plans to leave detroit. the man who waited decades to testify against james whitey bulger turned up dead. he is now confirmed to be 59-year-old steven rakes. cops say there were no obvious signs of trauma. rig may have died somewhere else before his body was dumped in the car. another bull skwrer victim says his death no accident. >> it's murder because he's not suicidal. it makes you nervous. you know, i don't want to go back to 1981 again. i don't want to go back and have to keep looking over my shoulder. >>gretchen: police

waiting for a toxicology report before issuing a cause of death. we're going to learn later this morning how a chinese student on board asiana flight 214 actually died. police and fire officials confirmed last week the 16-year-old was hit by a fire truck racing to extinguish the blazing boeing 777 after it crash-landed. it's been unclear though if that is actually what killed her. today the corner's office will have a news conference to announce the cause. there was one other friend killed in the crash. nine people struck by lightning in colorado. the victims were working on a farm when the accident happened. we're told two were taken to the hospital with critical injuries. another four in serious condition. the other three treated at the scene. those of your headlines. >>steve: now our lead story yesterday and today as well. remember the "rolling stone" magazine? they had extraordinarily put the image, a glamorous image of the suspected boston bomber on the cover.

it infuriated many, many people. >>brian: including us, i think it's safe to say. >>steve: there's a fellow who has been with massachusetts state police, sergeant sean murray, a tactical photographer there, he was so upset by it he gave boston magazine hundreds of images that he took the night mr. tsarnaev was captured in the back of that house in boston. >>brian: he said he hoped the images that he showed there, the real boston bomber, not someone puffed for the cover of the "rolling stone" magazine. he's gotten repercussions because he released the photos without permission. >>gretchen: he's been suspended now. he was holed up in the boat we don't know how long on the day they were looking for him. those images, if you can go back to the one where it shows the laser image on his forehead. it shows they had target on him as he's getting out of

the boat. you can see right there. these are the real images. i don't know, guys. i'm in a quandary this morning about how i feel about it. i totally understand where he's coming from. he was there. this is the real scene, how it played out. this guy is not a hero obviously. as maybe described on the front of "the rolling stone." a monster. at the same time is it right for him to do this, probably violate police policy and get himself into difficulty? i think it is an emotional response. >>steve: sergeant murphy is going to have a hearing next week and defend himself why he did it. he told "boston magazine" -- quote -- "the truth is glamorizing the face of terror is not just insulting to those killed in the line of duty, it is also an incentive to those who may be unis it -- who may be unstable to do something to get their face on the cover of rolling stone." >>brian: he's got thaoeft

one day suspended. the sentiment within the boston police department and listen to him talk, he talks about the fact that he had a family member runningthon a few blocks away. he had to run over there because everybody else was pulled to another fire. he saw the carnage himself and knew the reality a few days later that this guy is not the courageous guy being portrayed right now. he's worried about the next big boston event. maybe fenway park will blow up and someone says i want to be like him. >>gretchen: an investigation on capitol hill. carter hall, a life long employee who worked for the i.r.s. recently retired, doing this for i think 48 years looking at these applications, like these tea party applications that came in. he was questioned and basically said i don't know why they wanted me to get an extra look at these applications. eventually he was supposed to be giving them to his boss, the chief counsel, an obama pointed person named

william wilkins. why did he want to take a closer look at these applications? >>brian: usually he was the final guy. he didn't know why in this case it was no longer enough. why was someone looking over his shoulder. >> there's nothing extraordinarily complex about these applications. why did you have to get washington involved and the chief counsel's office to approve pretty innocuous 501-c-4 applications? mr. hull has been doing it for 40 years. he's been doing it since the year i was born. why is he having to send to washington to get permission to approve an application that he's been approving for 48 years? >>steve: on the pages of the "wall street journal," peggy noonan writes this is a political bombshell. we're talking about the i.r.s. chief counsel -- that is one of two political appointees in all of the i.r.s.

william wilkins, did it just spring into his head, i should go ahead and target these people for extra layers of scrutiny? did he get word from somebody else he should do that? did he get word from somebody at the white house? we do not know yet. we know he is a life long democrat who in 2008 helped lead the defense on jeremiah wright's church when he was being investigated by the i.r.s. he did that work, mr. wilkins said, on behalf of the case absolutely free pro bono. >>brian: this guy has an expertise in 501-c-4 and c-3 applications. yet people testified he was out of the loop on this. you have to be skeptical that he was out of the loop on this if this is his area of expertise. there seems to be a problem in when it comes to hold be up applications for

conservative groups. >>gretchen: another fact discussed in detail was what was detrimental to these groups was not they were automatically denied. had they been denied, they would have gone away, but they were put in this purgatory, they were put on hold, which made them have to spend extra money, extra dollars, extra time, get more frustrated. a lot of them quit. then you ask why is that important? it's important because we had an election. could it be that when we were discussing on this couch the tea party doesn't have that much power anymore, it has kind of gone away, could it be that's one of the reasons why some 300 groups were not allowed to establish themselves and therefore the movement kind of petered out. that to me was one of the more crucial points yesterday. >>brian: after awhile when it started becoming a rout when the woman from hofacre, the cincinnati office said i felt bad when i was literally one of

those low-level employees, rogue employees depicted in the report in cincinnati as the one that started this problem -- meanwhile she knows she wasn't the problem. i have an idea. let's yell at the guy that came up with the report, the inspector general, russell george, who has been answering every question. next thing you know he's in the middle of having his integrity being brought on the carpet. at one point he threw up his hand and said excuse me, is this a little bit over the top? >>gretchen: there he is. >> being an inspector general is one of the most difficult jobs in the federal government. you normally are not coming in with good news. you're coming in with bad news. i have to admit i am a little concerned that this type of forum could have a chilling effect on the operations of inspectors general. i have been around for awhile, and so i've seen this before. but not to this extent. we never treated an i.g.

office like this. if it were an allegation of personal wrongdoing on my behalf or my organization's behalf, that's one thing. but to just try to suggest that an audit could have been done differently, you know, this is unprecedented, sir. >> 700,000 people who sent me to this congress did not send me here just to sit and listen. >> folks come and say you know, the i. tkpw-fpl, we should never -- you know, the i.g., don't ask him a question. no, no, no. that's not how it operates. this is our watch. this is it. nobody's trying to attack you or anybody else. just trying to get to the facts. >>steve: of course the democrats would like it to go away. unfortunately for them, mr. george has got a lot of answers that are embarrassing. >>gretchen: he's not even

talking about criminality. >>steve: it can lead to it. >>gretchen: this is not even the real meat and potatoes of what this whole thing could come down to. he was simply laying out the facts as he saw them unfold. this is just the tip of the iceberg many people would argue. >>brian: the same thing with fast and furious. it's the rope a dope strategy democrats have used to say there's nothing there. it's over. now the i.r.s. the same thing. with benghazi the same thing. drag it out and may be the other side feel as though that they're making a mountain out of a mole hill. i think the whole analogy and see if you can follow this. if you can't i'll deny it next hour. i think instead of commenting pwaoeufrpblt game, it -- commenting on the baseball game it's commenting on why play baseball at all. instead of challenging what the i.g. is saying they're challenging whether he can do his job or not. >>steve: one side is unfair. >>gretchen: next hour

heard it come over the radio. the company i worked with was two blocks on the other side of the marathon at another call when the bombs went off. >>brian: you went down there? >> yes. myself and another fire fighter that just finished the marathon ran down to the finish line about 15 minutes after the bombs went off. >>brian: as we watch the video and it looks real to us, you actually lived and breathed it. as you see this 19-year-old get arrested, go on trial, plead not guilty, you thought that was going to be tough. how much tougher has it made things seeing they tkpwhrapl ryed him -- glamorized him on rolling stone magazine? >> a complete insult. sends the message to the youths in this country that that is how you become sensationalized. i don't take exception to the journalist of that article. i'm never going to read it. my issue and i think i speak for a lot of

benefits could be -- outraged their benefits could be cut. they want the president will bail them out. stuart varney is here to weigh in. >> this is a very big deal. other cities might choose together detroit route because federal bankruptcy allows an escape route from unpayable pension obligations. that is the problem across towns and cities across america. they made promises to pay pensions. they cannot keep those promises. they're in severe financial difficulty. the way out is to abrogate those pension contracts, those legally binding decisions, i've got to pay you x, y, z. you can't pay. what's the way out? bankruptcy. >>steve: they have got unfunded pension plans and funded. the funded not any problem. the unfunded is like we'll have the money in the future we hope. those people will probably get raked over the coals. >> look at what happened in

detroit, their city workers, there are 20,000 retirees, they are owed collectively $9 billion into the future. they're not going to get it. they will get a fraction of that. that's where the presidential bailout comes in. it might happen. t-bd happen. >>gretchen: this is the the microcosm of america. this will be happening to big cities. you can't continue to do this, can't continue to fund money you don't have. >> the lesson is you cannot tax to the hilt, provide a lavish welfare system and lavish pension payments to your workers in a shrinking economy. >>gretchen: once you start it is a domino effect? >> that is true. if the president steps in and gives money to these retirees -- >>steve: the president has already said we're not going to let you go bankrupt. >> he he did say that. now he says he's monitoring

the situation. he would have to get a bailout through congress and congress is highly unlikely to provide this money because, gretchen, you are right, you provide money to the retirees in detroit and you're on the hook for retirees all across the country. i don't know how many billions that is but it's a lot. >>brian: this could be good for the president politically. locally they're making tough decisions. he could say what do you want me to do. get mad at your local politician, don't get mad at the president of the united states. >> if he doesn't bail them out, does he alienate a big part of his base? he's already in trouble with the unions over obamacare, in trouble with seniors over obamacare and medicare. >>gretchen: what happens to new contracts? >> new contracts will be different. detroit has reached the end of the line. you cannot go on like this. >>steve: i've got a feeling he'll be talking about this over on varney

sometimes people act like only white people are racists. there are a lot of black people who are racists. i don't like when it gets in the media because i don't think the media has clean hands. >>steve: the department of justice is still determining whether it will press civil rights charges against george zimmerman. >>gretchen: a building comes crashing down on a philadelphia salvation army. a bus surveillance camera captured the mayhem. six people killed and a dozen more injured. investigators say the video is tough to watch. >> shocking and sad. i feel tremendously sad for their families. there is no need in the world to have the fly-by-night three stooges demolition company these guys were. >>gretchen: the incident being called a botched demolition. city officials are in the middle of public hearings investigating that collapse. >>brian: she accidentally locked her keys in a hot

car with a two-year-old inside. police spent 30 minutes telling him how to get out of the car seat and finally coaxed him to open the door. how great is that? >> all right. you did it! what's your name? you got these two officers right here to thank. >> yeah. >>brian: the mom thankful for the officers and that her son was all right. >>steve: that's one of the reasons satellite services like on-star is good. it was a royal flush of rage. caught on camera a losing gambler taking an ax to slot machines. a guy got angry when he lost more than $6,000 in poker. it happened in italy. his bad luck continued because cops tracked him down and arrested him. >>gretchen: that's actually funny. i'm not condoning destroying those machines

>> gretchen: maria and i are outside because we're talking about summer cocktails. in this heat, sounds pretty good. but there are a lot of calories that can be in these drinks. lots of sugar; yeah. we have a couple more versions here that are less. we're going to talk about some of the worst offenders and we have our two guests, contributors at self magazine and co-owners of p and j nutrition. welcome. >> thank you. >> gretchen: so you're going to allow us to still drink alcohol, but not put on the pounds. >> absolutely. >> gretchen: all right. >> so some of the worst offenders are things like strawberry frozen daiquiris, mud slides, which can have up to 800 calories. that's more than you need for a meal. all the drinks we have here today are under 150 calories. we've made them much lighter by adding things like fruit and veggies and natural sweeteners

to add flavor so you don't get the calorie, but all the flavor. >> if you like margaritas, they can run around 250-calories in a restaurant. we have a spicy spice to lemonade. we have maple syrup, which has flavor, so you can use less to sweeten, and a pinch of cayenne which is the kind of spicy surprise kick. that just gets shaken up really simple to make, and served over ice. that will run around 135 calories. you're saving almost 150 calories. >> gretchen: wait a minute. where is the liquor? >> sorry. and an ounce of tequila in there, too. >> gretchen: all right. >> the cayenne actually may be able to boost your metabolism. it's another benefit to this. >> gretchen: it helps you sweat in the heat, too. >> that's right. the hot foods.

>> gretchen: now you have green tea. what are you going to make with this? n this is a shaken green tea cocktail. this is one of my favorites. it gives you some energy. it's like a healthier version of a red bull and vodka. it has caffeine and natural compounds that give you more subdued energy. so we sweeten this a little bit with just a touch of honey. so this is the green tea right here. then we muddle some cucumber into the vodka, so it adds a refreshing flavor. we're going to add that. and then a hint of lime juice. shake it up. you get this one for 135 calories, too. it's really low, refreshing summer cocktail. >> that's a pretty big portion as well. >> definitely. >> what do we have next here? >> a mojito. it's pretty good thing to order if you're going to order things u. it's around 220 to 250 calories. this is 135 calories. what we did is we're going to

muddle some strawberries, fresh strawberries and fresh lime in the bottom of a glass with a little mint. you kind of smush those together to get the flavor out. then we're going to add an ounce of white rum to that. there is your alcohol kick. then on top of that goes a little bit of salt or water, club soda. and then to sweeten this we're using simple syrup, but just a teaspoon of the since we're using berries, you don't need all that sugar. that's a strawberry mojito. >> gretchen: great tips and they look so refreshing in the heat and look pretty. thank you so much. >> thank you for having us. >> gretchen: i think we're going to go back inside to the ac where the guys are hanging out. >> brian: that was the smallest amount of rum i've ever seen in any drink. >> steve: that's what he says. from cocktail party to tea

serious stuff going on. rolling stone cover has a lot of people really angry that the boston bomber, even though he's called a monster, kind of, in fine print, glorified. does he look like a celebrity? turns out now that sergeant sean murphy who was a police officer with boston, he decided, you know what? i don't like this at all and i'm going to release actual photos of that night when they captured him. >> steve: we've shown you a couple of them and there you can see. these are the moments after he was emerging from that boat -- >> brian: where he was hiding. >> steve: he was for a while. there you can see the laser scope framed on his forehead. these are gritty and they are real and they're not glamorous. so that's why this massachusetts state tactical photographer by the name of sergeant sean murphy, been on the force for 25 years, he was so angry with the rolling stone cover, he said this to boston magazine: the

truth is glamorizing the face of terror is not just insulting the family members of those killed, but could be an incentive to those who may be unstable to do something to get their face on the cover of the rolling stone magazine. i hope that the people who see these images will know that this was real. it was as real as it gets. so if you release to them a couple of hundred different photographs, and now he got in trouble because he wasn't authorized to do it. >> brian: he'll be suspended at least one day. he's 100% right. this isn't a theory. if you think about bin laden and al-awlaki, they released tapes on all these guys and women, that's part of the process. so if you all of a sudden say hey, he's the man, go look at him in terms of sean murphy called him fluffed and puffed, you could have a copy cat situation because he we know to a private school, he seemed like a example guy.

>> gretchen: there is something different from stating how you feel about it and releasing -- going against police policy and releasing the photos. that's where i'm not sure where i am on this today because let's take it a step farther. imagine now at the trial of dzhokhar tsarnaev and now they can not maybe use these photos because the defense will bring up hey, they were released, or whatever the case is. i hope that there will not be a legal technicality now that hundreds have been released and now are in trouble for being used as evidence in the case against him. >> steve: it definitely looks as if he went outside of protocol and did release them to boston magazine, but his heart was in the right place. besides, there is another point. why haven't we seen these pictures before? >> brian: i have no idea. >> gretchen: because they're part of the evidence. guys, in any case, they don't release evidence. >> steve: sometimes they do. >> gretchen: this is part of the evidence of when they captured him. i mean, i don't know. i don't see that as that surprising that we haven't seen

these photos. >> brian: because if you're going to try this guy and he's going to plead not guilty, which he did, they're going to be exposed to the opposing counsel. >> steve: more on this later on of the we got headlines for you. >> gretchen: motor city has made history fort wrong reason. detroit now the largest city in american history to file for bankruptcy. the state appointed emergency manager filed for protection. detroit has struggled as the auto industry declined and businesses went elsewhere. the mayor says the city is down, but not out. >> as tough as this is, i really didn't want to go in this direction. this is very difficult for all of us, but if it's going to make the citizens better off, then this is the new start for us. >> gretchen: general motors says it has no plans to leave detroit. huge employer there. nine people struck by lightning in colorado.

more local veterans in the same way. those are your headlines today. >> steve: we know tea party groups were targeted by the irs. just how political did it get? remember christine o'donnel, run not guilty delaware for joe biden's senate seat. she found out the other day she got into politics and the day she did, her records were tapped illegally. and the former 2010 senate candidate joins us right now. good morning to you, christine. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> steve: okay. so you've gotten some cryptic information from people. who tapped into your tax account? >> i found out when a criminal investigator came to visit me in january of this year, was that on the day that i announced my campaign on march 9, 2010, someone working for the delaware government illegally accessed my tax records. now, coincidentally on that same day, the irs filed an erroneous

tax lien with new castle county. they later dismissed it as a computer error, but that tax lien followed my campaign, still ends up on my credit report and all of this happened on the very same day that i announced my campaign in 2010. >> brian: it seems as though senator chuck grassley found out that there is a back door system in which state officials can access americans' private tax records, in this case, it's you. >> absolutely. absolutely. that's what happened in my case. i'm very grateful that senator grassley's investigative team has taken on this case because the treasury department inspector general has decided that this case is closed and the department of -- >> brian: what? >> yeah. this case is closed, there is nothing suspicious. >> steve: somebody broke the law! >> and you know what is even more outrageous is that as the

washington times reported, this has happened at least eight other times. and those eight that the washington times talked about earlier this week, i'm not included in that. then there is this separate investigation of what happened in mine. there is too many coincidences. >> gretchen: who are the other eight? are they politicians? >> i don't know. yeah. from what i understand, they are candidates or donors to political campaigns. >> gretchen: here is the bigger story, is that i remember reporting on this on the show when this happened to you. and it was sort of in a series of oh, well, here is more bad news for christine o'donnel. and i'm wondering if somebody is caught for this, there would be more charges than just tampering with your records. you know, what about defamation? what about other kinds of charges because this was your reputation at stake. >> absolutely. and like i said, even though we had the evidence, the irs just within weeks dismissed this as a

so-called computer error. that tax lien, a copy of that erroneous tax lien was still reported, still held up in front of cameras, used against me from my opponents on both sides of the aisle. >> brian: i want to get your impression, the irs of what you saw yesterday, what's your impression of what we found out? >> there is so many unanswered questions. for example, to me, if someone is abusing their power at the irs and inappropriately accessing the records, the private personal records of political candidates and then using it to damage them, we need answers. i am completely dumb founded as to why the criminal investigators have not only closed my cakes but why eric holder says there is no reason to look any further. but again, i'm so grateful that senator grassley and the members of his committee are saying it's too suspicious not to keep

digging. >> steve: somebody does because you need answers and we all need answers because it could happen to awful us. >> this is about restoring fairness to the political process and that affects all americans regardless of your political beliefs. >> steve: thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> brian: straight ahead, he's been giving advice for 30 years. but the feds just ordered him to stop. can they really regulate that? that man joins us live with the latest on his fight to keep his column. >> gretchen: she's not your average grandma. she's a rocking grandma. her drumming skills turning into an internet sensation this morning. oh, my gosh! go for it, granny! ♪ convennt two bar pack.

>> brian: welcome to regulation nation. the government decides who you can dish advice to is this focus today. that's the story of our next guest. he's a psychologist and his columns appeared over 200 papers across america. the state of kentucky has now ordered him to stop. mr. rosen joins us now, john roseman. dr. roseman, thank you for joining us today. you're writing this column. what is kentucky's problem with it? >> brian, i need to correct you right off the bat. it's one of the beefs that kentucky has is that i'm not dr. roseman. i am licensed in the state of north carolina. i can call myself a psychologist and kentucky is saying i'm not really a psychologist. that's part of the problem. >> brian: what do you mean you're not really a doctor? 'cause you're not licensed in kentucky? >> 'cause i wouldn't meet kentucky licensing standards. i meet north carolina's licensing standards. so they've got a beef at that level. but the other beef is that

they're accusing me, through my column of providing mental health services to the public. and they say that because i don't have a kentucky psychology license, i am unable, therefore, to provide mental health services to the public through kentucky newspapers like "the lexington heard leader which has been carrying my column for 30 years. >> brian: do you believe this is a ruse, that they don't like what you're saying, not your qualifications? >> well, i think that that's part of it because i do go around the country. i'm a public speaker as well and i tell a lot of people that many of the problems that american parents are having with children today, which are very, very different from the parenting bumping in the road that parents experienced 50-plus years ago are largely due to the bad advice that's been coming out of the mental health community concerning children and child rearing for the past 50 years.

>> brian: and you also think maybe you're a constitutional conservative rubs people the wrong way. here is what the kentucky psychological board says in response to your objection to your column being away. that's fascinating that this has turned into the first amendment. we are perfectly happy. he can say anything he wants, as long as he's clear he's not a psychologist in kentucky. >> right. well, the letter that i received from the kentucky attorney general in may made it very, very clear that they had a distinct problem with me expressing or putting forth parenting opinions in my column. the two issues were separated in the complaint. >> brian: i've seen columns that are from mechanics giving you plain advice. i don't know if dear abby was a doctor or not, but they have a problem with john roseman. i find this fascinating and it's overreach which is what you always speak about. correct?

>> well, it is. and it's an example of just arrogance and overreaching by an occupational licensing board. the real issue here, brian, i want to say this, is about the consumer's right to choose whom to seek parenting advice from. they ought to be able to seek that advice from their grandmother, their next-door neighbor, john roseman, whomever they trust. >> brian: got you. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: maybe they choose dr. phil or dr. laura over john roseman. we'll see. thanks so much for joining us this morning. straight ahead, forgot your password like i do every day? no problem. just use your finger. big announcement from apple next. and looking to beat the heat at the movies this weekend?

too, and now you went to bacon? >> steve: i asked for vanilla with brownie and fudge and they didn't make that, so they had the one with bacon, which is fantastic. >> brian: gretchen, you have chosen cookies and cream. >> gretchen: in honor of my kids. let's see. sweet. >> brian: your kids are sweet and a charming nature. >> gretchen: it's certainly not immediate. maybe i'll take the charming. >> steve: very nice. maria molina, do you have a shake out there? >> yes, i do. i found my favorite. chocolate. >> steve: you know what that means? >> what does that mean? >> it means that -- we have it up here. >> i have the research right here. >> steve: flirtatious. >> i also see gullible. >> steve: you were gullible in reading that. >> wait, brian. i have a question. for have vanilla, what does easy

[ cheering ] he's going to be coming up shortly. let's head back inside. >> gretchen: thanks so much. let's do some headlines for friday. the man who wait decades to

testify against would mobster james whitey bulger turns up dead. a body found on a walking trail in massachusetts confirmed to be this man. police say no obvious signs of trauma and rakes may have died somewhere else before his body was dumped in the park. another bulger victim says this death was no accident. >> it's murder because he's not suicidal. until i know what the autopsy is, yeah, it makes you nervous. you know, i don't want to go back to 81 again and go back and live the days i have to keep looking over my shoulder. >> gretchen: police are waiting for a toxicology report before issuing a cause of death. >> brian: new overnight, fresh concerns. republican congressman sending a letter to john kerry, wolf says sources tell him, quote, many if

not all of the survivors of the benghazi attacks possibly including state department employees and/or contractors, have been asked or directed to sign additional nondisclosure agreements. this demanding that kerry confirm whether that's true and if so, who has been asked and why. >> gretchen: schools are going off the menu now to make up the money that they're losing because of new government regulation for healthier school lunches. new report shows upstate new york schools are making hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling junk foods. 16 school districts brought in more than $5 million last year selling snacks like french fries, nachos, doughnut sticks. more regulations go into effect next year. >> brian: have you seen this? a grandmother playing the drums. ♪ >> brian: check it out. even as she spins the sticks, this video was most, but they have no idea who she is or where

had left the pharmaceutical field after several years. you got your mba, you were trying different things. you had a rough time for a while. >> a little bit. but i was trying to reinvents myself. sometimes change brings opportunity and i was very glad to see the segment. >> when you went to apply for the job, i'm assuming you were nervous. i'm sure that there is a lot of applicants that come to the door. what do you tell our viewers about going into the interview process? what do you think helps get the job at the ends of the day? >> just stay positive. the corporate culture at healthway is excellent. they're very -- received me very well, so i had a very positive experience. but just keep moving forward. >> don't give up. >> yeah. >> i know, again, you were frustrated a little bit. vinny, you must get thousands of olympics for just a few jobs. how do you select employees? what stands out to you? why do you hire people like jamie and what can you tell our viewers who are look for a job now that can help them down the line if they're going through the same thing jamie did?

the citizens better off, then this is a new start for us. >> gretchen: general motors says it has no plans to leave the city of detroit. we're going to learn later this morning how a chinese student on board flight 214 actually died. police and fire officials confirmed last week that 16-year-old girl was hit by a fire truck racing to try and put out the fire after that crash landing. but it's been unclear if that's actually what killed her. today the coroner's office will hold a news conference to announce the cause and manner of her death. two other teens traveling in her group were also killed. president obama giving putin the cold shoulder? the president not happy russia is considering to give snowden asylum. russia hosting the go 20 summit. officials say the relations have been strained over a number of issues, including snowden and the conflict in syria.

>> steve: thank you. >> gretchen, always lovely. >> steve: of course. yesterday it was our top story, the rolling stone put this picture of dzhokhar tsarnaev on the cover. >> barely obnoxious. >> steve: now a 25 year vet of the police department has been suspended. they've taken his gun and badge because he released a couple hundred clinch photos to boston magazine because he was so upset that the picture that rolling stone put on the cover glomarrizing this whole events. >> i understand what he did. he violated the department protocol. there is no doubt about it. it was like a civil rights action. he committed a wrong there and now he's going to be punished for it. he did it for the best reasons. he thought that rolling stone did glamorize this mass murderer. >> brian: he isn't saying he shouldn't be punished, he's saying it's worth the risk. >> and he should be punished in some way, but there is no doubt that the rage throughout new england especially is real. it's palpable.

>> brian: do you think it's out of control? couldn't they split the screen with him looking in that glam shot and maybe his mug shot? >> they can have done a lot of things. cvs has refused to sell it. walgreen's, now 7-11 in 2,000 stores refused to sell it. yes, they could. but this is the magazine that, remember, destroyed the career of general stanley mccrystal with their cover story that was a total hatchet job. >> brian: but they put manson on the cover, too. >> they put manson on the cover. it's not beyond precedent. hitler has been on the cover, osama bin laden was the man of the year. so it is not without precedent. it's not that extraordinary. they chose this shot to make him look like a rock star, this jim morrisson look, the doe eyed 19-year-old with the -- it's a bit much and obviously the reaction is an indication that when sometimes you reach for the sensational, reach for the editorial decision that's going

to make big news, you go too far. i think in this case they did. >> gretchen: it makes people so -- what makes people so upset. let's listen to what sergeant sean murphy said. this was his quote. the police officer who released the other photos, the truth is that glamorizing the face of terror is not just insulting to the family members of those killed in the line of duty t could be an incentive to those who may be unstable to do something to get their face on the cover of rolling stone. i hope the people who see this will realize it was real. it was as real as it gets. so these photos released, hundreds of them, but a lot when tsarnaev is coming out of the boat. >> right. with the sniper's red lacer on his forehead. i enjoyed that shot. >> brian: let's talk about trayvon martin. it is an amazing shot, by the way. the justice department decided that trayvon martin, because that was the gun used to kill him, that george zimmerman won't be able to get that gun back. do you have a problem with that? >> that george zimmerman will not -- did i have no problem wih

that. i think i'm getting back the gun was aggravating a tinder box situation. why? why? he got a gun for a dime a dozen. he can get another gun. >> brian: he was going to be the alabama governor for a while, charles barkley wanted to get into politics. but i think that he decided i'll be a basketball commentator instead. i think with this quote today from yesterday that we're going to air, i think he's right on the money on the george zimmerman situation. let's listen. >> well, i agree with the verdict. i feel sorry that young kid got killed. but they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. i feel bad because i don't like when race gets out in the media 'cause i don't think the media has a pure heart as i call it. very few people have a pure heart when it comes to race. racism is wrong in any shape or form. there is a lot of black people racist, too. i think when people talk about race, they say only white people

are racist. there are a lot of black people that are racist. i don't think the media has clean hands. >> i think you're spot on. i think charles barkley is very thoughtful, i think his remarks were concise and really in terms of philosophy, absolutely spot on. factually right on, the nation terribly divided by the racial issue here, blacks reacting one way largely. whites reacting another. charles barkley with the courage to go and call it like it is. i think it's helpful. it will lead to i hope more discussion about the reality that black people and white people have such different impressions of what police do or what courts do in the justice system. i think bravo for charles barkley. a lot smarter commentary than i heard from so-called professionals. >> steve: in boston, there is a sensational murder trial regarding whitey bulger, accused mobster. interestingly enough, there is a guy who was supposed to testify in a couple of days.

he was going to talk about how back in 1984, whitey bulger held a gun to his daughter's head so he would give up his liquor store in boston. suddenly this guy disappears and is found dead. >> he was found at the bottom of the charles river with cement shoes, but it was clearly a suicide. i'm joking. [ laughter ] stephen rakes was forced to give up his liquor store so bulger could launder his ill gotten gains through a legitimate business. he has been campaigning against bulger for all the years, accused of killing 19 people, and that only among several other of his crimes. bulger, since he's been in hiding, stephen rakes has been campaigning against him. he wanted very much to testify against whitey bulger in this sensational trial that's really captivating. if you haven't caught up with it, it's a fascinating -- the whole winter hill gang in south boston, bodies strewn all over the place.

>> steve: it's like a movie. >> like a saga. >> brian: i feel so bad fort guy. >> stephen rakes was told on tuesday that he would not be testifying. so it is possible that the disappointment after a life long campaign against whitey bulger at the 11th hour to now be told you will not be participating in this trial, that he did go and hurt himself. so although under ordinary circumstances if he had damning testimony against this guy, whitey bulger, he would not have been the first witness to disappear. but in this case, it could have been -- >> gretchen: it could be either one, but there are also reports that he was killed somewhere else and his body was dumped. >> well, it would indicate to me that some remnant of the winter hill gang exists and you know, the number one rule in all of these mafia-related or organized crime groups is you just don't talk. maybe he was overeager and someone silenced him.

>> steve: snitches get stitches. >> but in this particular case, it may be profound personal disappointment. >> steve: we'll be watching you this weekend. >> yeah. >> gretchen: coming up, parents suing the little league now for a million bucks because their son got hit with a ball? do they really have a case? peter johnson, jr. coming up next. >> brian: and it wasn't his lucky day. a gambler gets revenge on a machine. how much did he lose? and how much will he have to pay back since we got him on tape? ♪ [ male announcer ] come to the lexus golden opportunity sales event and choose from one of five lexus hybrids that's right for you, including the lexus es and ct hybrids. ♪ this is the pursuit of perfection. it fills you with energy...

with a ball -- >> let's not start that detraction of lawyer bit, brian. some people have a right to sue. let's see the facts. this is a 12-year-old boy in texas city, texas, playing in a little league all-star game. he's a pitcher, gets hit by a line drive by a batter using an alum number bat -- aluminum bat. he suffered a concussion because the bat was illegal. there are licensed bats that the little league says these are okay. there is something called a bat performance factor. they actually test the bats. say a ball is being thrown in a little league at 65 or 75 miles an hour, it should come back off the bat at like no more than 20% at a higher speed. and so team shave bats. they paint bats, and put different bats in that aren't approved. >> brian: but the league says

they inspected them. >> the league says they inspected the bat. however, one parent says that another parent on the opposing team took a bat -- don't know if it's the bat -- and put it in the trunk after the game. there was also some commotion about the bat making a difference sound than aluminum bats usually make. we know in 2012 a lawsuit was settled for 14 1/2 million dollars involving a boy who was brain damaged as a result of an illegal bat in the state of new jersey and the little league and some other folks -- >> brian: is this going to court? >> it will go to court. we're going to see what the facts are. obviously no one believes in frivolous lawsuits. but there is a claim of injury. if the bat was illegal, if the bat wasn't licensed, if the bat had been shaved, then in fact, there is a lawsuit because little league does have an obligation to patrol these things, to police these things. absolutely. >> brian: it might just be the case of an all-star game where

the guy is a really good hitter. >> or a really good pitcher throwing the ball really fast. >> brian: we'll see. >> you and i should get out there and look at these bats. >> brian: one on one baseball over the weekend. 95-degree weather, sounds good. game on. 19 minutes after the hour. have a great weekend. you've seen it happen to celebrities all the time. plastic surgeries gone bad. sorry, joan. so what would you look for for picking a doctor? the plastic surgeon from the doctors is here to tell what you to look for. first, cody simpson performs for us. what makes your family smile?

>> gretchen: thanks very much. more americans than ever asking for cosmetic surgery. 14 million people last year. as the popularity grow, so does the chance for mistakes. botched operation leaving people full of regrets. what should you look for if you do this? this is a certified plastic surgeon. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so you are in the business of doing this. >> i've been doing it 33 years now. >> gretchen: wow. so. >> you want to talk about the nightmares. but typically for most people, it's a good dream. >> gretchen: of course it is. >> plastic surgery is positive. if it wasn't consistents, good predictable results, we wouldn't be doing it. there are some keys the consumer should look for. >> gretchen: my question is why do you think we've seen a surge want to go get these procedures done? >> plastic surgery without question has sort of come out of the closet, so to speak. it's out in the public.

i think people want to hear about it, probably because so many celebrities are open, have clearly had changes done physically that people pick up on and they want to hear more about it. >> gretchen: so let's take a look at the five most common botched procedures when things can maybe go a little bit awry. starting with the face and then we have nose, eyelids, breast enlargement, liposuction. >> what we really have are the most common procedures that we do. so it would stand to reason that we're talking about the five most common things that we do, liposuction, breast enlargement, face lifts, noses, eyelids, those are the cases most like low that something can go awry. the key is going in to prevent the problem before it happens much that's choosing a board certified plastic surgeon and then accredited facility. but most importantly is going to somebody that does that procedure all the time. i'm most known for face lifts

and noses. i do those day in and day out. i do left breast reconstruction, something like that, so i wouldn't the first person to go to for that. >> gretchen: good advice. what are some of the warning signs if something has gone wrong, starting with the bandages could be too tight. what happens then? >> sure. most surgeries we do use some sort of bandage. with a face lift, for example, we keep new a bandage overnight. but if it's too tight t can put pressure on the skin. so for example, if you had severe pain, if you saw the color of the skin changing, that could be a sign that you're constricting the blood supply. you want to loosen that bandage. really beyond the first day, you wouldn't want to have a bandage. >> gretchen: also more swelling or pain on one side. >> exactly. that's a big key with any procedure. for example, a face lift or breast enlargement, if you have more pain on one side than the other, that could be a sign that you're having a build-up in

accumulation of blood or fluid. >> gretchen: also darkening discoloration of the skin. i guess would be the same? >> exactly. if you see something that's turning darker, so-called dusky, that could be a real red flag that the blood supply is compromised and that's probably the single biggest thing you want to look for. >> gretchen: most of the time everything goes just fine? >> yes, it does. >> gretchen: we'll see you on "the doctors." >> we start taping in a couple weeks. >> gretchen: still head, new bombshells in the irs targeting investigation. what we're learning. reverend jeremiah wright could be caught up in this. first, more from cody simpson. ♪

classified information. you think? these new policies part of a pilot test program. why not just make it part of the real program? >> steve: meanwhile, a chilling sight. new video shows the moment a building comes crashing down in philly at the salvation army. a bus surveillance camera captured it. six people were killed and a dozen more injured. investigators say the video is tough to watch. >> i really just feel tremendously sad for their families. there is no need in the world to have the fly by night, three stooges demolition company that these guys were. >> steve: that's right. the incident is being called a botched demolition. city officials are in the middle of public hearing investigating the deadly collapse. >> gretchen: more controversy in this latest incident, the web site going after christian actor crick cameron. >> if god is good and he is a god of love and he is powerful enough to stop evil and pain and

suffering, why doesn't he? >> gretchen: that's the trailer for his new faith-based movie "unstoppable." but facebook blocked fans from posting links. they said the web site was abusive and unsafe. the web site suddenly lifted the ban without saying why after cameron alerted his fans. >> brian: a mother frantic after she accidentsally locks her keys in the hot car with her four-year-old inside. police spent 30 minutes telling the young kid how to get out of his car seat and finally coaxed him to open the door. watch. >> all right! did you it! what's your name? you got these two officers right here to thank. >> brian: the mom thankful for the officers and that her son was all right. good move. >> steve: no kidding. meanwhile, we're in the midst of a heat wave here in the eastern third of the united states.

maria molina outside experiencing it firsthand. >> i am experiencing it firsthand. so is everyone here that's here to see cody simpson. we have been basically looking at those hot temperatures over the last several days across parts of the northeast and even into the midwest. and we did have animals in the chicago zoo trying to stay cool and actually diving into pools and some zoo keepers even giving them giant ice cubes. so you can see the polar bears swimming in the water trying to stay cool. so cute. out there in doing, you can be seeing a heat index temperature at 101 degrees. high temperature, the actual high will be widespread into the 90s. 97 degrees will be the high temperature here in new york city. you factor in the humidity and then you're talking about what it feels like when you head out the door. it's going to feel like 105 degrees in new york city. it's going to feel like 106 in washington, d.c so incredible heat out here. stay safe. drink a lot of water. it can be very dangerous. if you are outdoors for a long period of time, as we head into friday and also into saturday. later in the day, we are going

to be seeing a cold front pushing eastward and it's that system that will finally be written not guilty a bit of a relief to the hot temperatures. here in new york city, we're actually going to be below average with those high temperatures. we're talking low 80s, maybe 82 for the high temperature. very nice coming up monday and tuesday. >> brian: congratulations, when you first started, no one was facing you. little by little, the crowd has turned on cody and started watching you. >> you've been cheering for cody simpson all morning. how about a weather cheer? [ cheering ] >> all right! way to go. >> brian: they love weather. >> steve: sure they do. thank you. >> gretchen: thanks. the irs scandal heated up again yesterday on capitol hill. new bombshells released by the attorneys in the chief counsel office. these were the guys in dc, remember this is supposed to be only rogue people in cincinnati. turns out not the case. this is carter hull. 48 years on the job as an attorney in the irs, retired now.

but he decided to testify, unlike lois lerner. he did not take the fifth. and he actually said that his boss, an obama appointee, mr. wilkins, also was involved in signing off on some of these applications from tea party. >> steve: what's extraordinary is carter hull said he was ready to go ahead and approve some of these applications from tea party groups, but dc simply put -- essentially put everything in a holding pattern, extraordinarily, right through two major election cycles. elizabeth hofacre, in charge of processing the tea party applications, she said she was so frustrated by the micro management from dc, she said it was, quote, like working in lost luggage. so she apply to do transfer out of that department someplace else. >> brian: so the story goes that the irs chief wilkins was out of the loop. but he has a specialty and that was 501 c 3 and 4 applications before he even got the job. one of the cases he worked on

pro bono, which steve, you can translate to mean for free, was for reverend jeremiah wright's problem that he had with the irs. meanwhile, the tempers were flaring yesterday. tray gowdy was on with greta last night. >> being an inspector general is one of the most difficult jobs in the federal government. >> there is nothing extraordinarily complex about these applications. why did you have to get washington involved in the chief counsel's office to approve pretty innocuous, 501 c 4 applications, mr. holesman doing it 48 years, greta. since the year i was born. so why is he having to send to washington to get permission to approve an application that he's been approving for 48 years? >> steve: that really is the bombshell. it's not that -- we knew for a while it wasn't just cincinnati. now we know it's not just washington, d.c it is the chief counsel of the

irs, one of two political appointees from the obama administration at the irs. that is a bombshell. he also -- brian, you were talking about his past -- he defended reverend jeremiah wright's church when the irs was investigating barak obama's involvement with the church for whether or not they were violating 501 c 3 status. >> gretchen: so now it will be interesting to see -- wilkins wasn't there yesterday. so it will be interesting to see if he will be the next to be subpoenaed. >> brian: did i say tempers were flaring? you're not going to believe it. they were yelling at each other. they were yell being a column that darrell issa wrote in usa today and talking about the substance of this column to the point where another congressman said, can we please not stop embarrassing ourselves? you're the leaders of the committees and this whole thing, everybody on the testimony table

laughing at them. >> steve: sure. so it will be curious if there wilkins does get called. i'm sure they've got a lot of questions. did he just think of, let's put a halt on everything, or did he hear from somebody in the white house? >> brian: we just got the -- we did get the answer why lois lerner took the fifth because she's all over this. >> steve: she said things in a couple of different ways and that's not good when you're under oath. >> gretchen: soon coming up on the show, james bond won't be the only one with a license to kill. one town wants to give its residents permission, at least one guy does, to shoot down government drone? details coming up next. >> steve: first, here is clayton with a preview of what happens here this weekend on "fox & friends. >> i was so flattered by all of the girls that came out to see me today. thank you guys, so much.

to shoot down government drone. can they do that? as we look at that crazy animation. philip steele wrote the ordinance for his hometown of tier trail, colorado and joins us today from colorado in denver. good morning to you, phil. >> good morning. >> steve: so you have proposed this ordinance that would do what? >> well, according to the in orderrians, the town could issue drone hunting licenses. they're only good in deer trail, but could be sold nationwide. >> steve: all right. so if you had a drone hunting license, that would mean if you pay the fee and it's modest, you could shoot down a drone and you would wind up with some sort of a bounty. of how much? >> yes. if you bring in a fuselage and one wing, you get $25. >> steve: okay. >> if you bring in a whole intact drone, you get 100. >> steve: all right. so that's the plan. phil, why do you want to shoot down drones?

>> because i want to take a stand against the coming surveillance society that seems to be rushing in on us. >> steve: well, what could a drone over somebody's house out there in colorado watch? >> other than just photographic information, it can pick up communications, cell phone transmissions. it could pick up data from your wireless outer on your broad band. >> steve: let's say there was a predator drone out there and somebody shot down, don't you think somebody -- forget about the $100 bounty. don't you think somebody is going to wind up with a $25 million bill from the department of defense? >> no, because predator drones are much bigger and they fly far higher. the ones we're talking about are small drones, usually the size of rc aircraft or birds. >> steve: and so presumably the

people who would be operating the drones would be who? >> they could be governmental entities. they can be nongovernmental organizations. they can be large corporations that want to gather data for marketing purposes. they can be criminals that want to case neighborhoods. >> steve: okay. you're right. a lot of people do like to spy on people. so it will be interesting. we'll keep track of your fight to get this ordinance passed out there in colorado. phil steele, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. >> steve: meanwhile, we've got a fox news alert down at cape canaveral. a united launch alliance atlas 5 rolls out for urge la at space launch complex 41 with the u.s. navy's mobile user objective system, number two spacecraft. the launch is set for later today, right about now. we're going to keep an eye on it
