>> jamie: thanks for being with us. >> eric: have a great sunday. >> jamie: take care, everybody. >> as the nation wonders which scandals the obama administration thinks are phony, treasury secretary jack lew bears up one, saying that targeting people with bad judgment, but not political revenge. we will ask a senator if he agrees. the republican party at odds over what do do br immigration reform. we will talk to the members about bipartisan members who say they have a solution. highway horror, a bus carrying a church group crashes on an indiana interstate, killing the pastor and his pregnant wife and injuring dozens and we talk live about the investigation of accessing a controversial record and whether he will run for

office again. i'm shannon bream. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capitol starts right now. >> there is no evidence of any political decision making who was involved in any of those decisions. i think the attempt to try to keep finding that evidence is creating the kind of cerns of a phony scalpeddal... >> the white house has taken a lot of heat for insisting that washington is being distracted by phony scandal, leaving many americans wondering which scandals are the phony ones. insisting that politics was not involved in the irs targeting certain groups. >> reporter: for those republican who is are investigating what the president terms phony scandals, it harkens back to the queen from shakespeare's hamlet, the lady

doth protest too much. the investigations, especially of the irs are getting uncomfortable i close to the white house, despite views to the contrary. >> it is not acceptable to have the screening from the left or right -- liberal or conservative -- where you are targeted for your views. there is no political official who condoned it or authorized it. >> reporter: that will to senator mike lee who says that republicans will not let up. >> look. we know how this works. when you put this much discretion and discretionary power in the handings of the few tmay be abused for partisan political purposes. that happened here. >> reporter: earlier this week, jim jordan gave us this interpretation of how the house oversight committee investigation of the irs is going. >> we don't have any evidence directly yet, but we continue to do dispositions, do the interviews and keep working up the hane of command.

now we know it's in the chief counsel's office. the irs chief counsel is one of two political appointees to the irs and a long-time contributor, despite the promise of not hiring lobbyists, that's what wilkins was and one of his clients of the swiss bankers association, another outfit that the president regularly criticized, wilkins was a regular visitor to the white house complex as chief counsel for the irs. republicans feel that their investigation of the irs for one is getting hotir, not colder. >> doug, thank you very much. we love hearing from you at home about all of our stories. we. to know your thoughts on the president's comments. are these scandals political stunts or legitimate issues. tweet us your answers and woo will read more of thel, later on thisn this hour. a bus with teenagers traveling back from a church camp, six

hours away was a mile from home and never made it. instead, the buss went flying off an indianapolis retaining wall, killing three people and jrtion twikts more. among the dead are the youth pastor and has pregnant wife. their one-year-old son was taken to the hospital. he is with relatives. the driver says the bus's brakes failed. police believe a 3w*d they recovered is a bride-to-be set to marry in two wykes. the woman, her fiancee and four friends were in a speed boat that slammed into a barge. her fiance called 911 despite being disoriented and injured. the church for the best man has just resumed. the boat driver has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and assault. he may have been drunk. all survivors remain in the hospital. a weekend of violence in egypt.

it is much calm dmer cairo, a stark difference from the scene yesterday. still crowded but no reports of violence today, unlike university when egyptian authorities unleashed an attack on pro-morsi supporters. 72 people were killed in the clashes. it was the deadliest outbreak of violence since the military ousted morsi last month and the interim president has given the prime minister the power for the military to arrest civilians. washington keeping a very close eye. joining us is senator ben cardin. senator, thank you for joining us. >> it's a pleasure to be with you. >> shannon: what role do we as the u.s. or don't we play as this continues to fill the streets of cairo and lives are being lost? >> first of all, egypt's very, very important to the united states. it is going through a transition. i think what secretary kerry said yesterday is particularly important.

it is the responsibility of those in charge to protect those who are peacefully demonstrating and that they need to exercise restraint, that we have now been two years, where the people of egypt want a government that will be responsive to their needs. we understand that -- the morsi government did not accomplish that. we now have to work towards peace in that region and let the system go forward and hopefully have open elections, have constitutional reform, so the rights of all egyptians are protected, that they honor their commitment with israel and help us against extremists. that's what we have in common. we hope to be helpful in bringing that about. >> shannon: the u.s. provides $1.3 billion in military aid, $250 million in economic assistance to egypt. there are a lot of questions about the decision not to send f-16s over to egypt. a lot of people see that as

potentially taking sides. we have obviously sent many f-16s over while muhammad morsi was in charge in egypt. but for now, the u.s. government's saying we have a lot of things to consider, we are not going to continue to send them. do you think it's the right or wrong decision at this point? >> the united states needs to stay engaged. there is no quithat ejust a minute is glg through a transition. we want to give the egyptians a chance to get this right. on the other hand, providing specific weapons, it is ob clear hathey would use them for. continuing the aid, i think we need to do that during this transition period. our expectations are rather clear. we expect that the egyptian leadership will respect the right of its citizens and proactiv its safety and we expect that they will honor their international commitments and work with us against extremists. i think the united states needs to be patient and allow the egyptians to move forward,

hopefully with free elections and constitutional reform. >> shannon: do you think it's important that the u.s. weigh in on whether or not thftion a military coup which would block us from sending aid while the military is running the country there. we have played a very delicate balancing act on the uses of that word, in fact, not using that word. do you think the u.s. has to commit? >> i think what the united states needs to do is what is in our best interest and that is to stay engaged with egypt. we have a very large fotprint in egypt. it's the largest arab country in the world. it has a critically important to the stability of the region. so the united states needs to stay engaged. that means, at this point, we need to continue our relationship with egypt, make it clear our expectations, as far as respecting the rights of its citizens and learn honoring international commitments. but i think it would be wrong foritous take a dramatic change in our position towards egypt.

>> shannon: how much do you think is happening in egypt impacts what will happen in israel and that region? >> very much so. the u.s. participation with assistance to egypt came about after the egyptian/israeli peace agreement. the popularity of that agreement in egypt, we don't want to test, as far as what the egyptians might do. we think it's critically important that that relationship remain. at the same time we are concerned about what is happening in egypt, in regards to the region, we have syria and we have the refugees in... jordan and the impact on jordan. we have lebanon. so this is a region in which we need to try to preserve as mitch stability as possible and the egyptian/israeli peace agreement is very important to u.s. interest. >> shannon: before i let you go, i want to ask you if you have any comment on the white house

decision determining the "phony scandals," targeting particular groups. saying it may have been bad judgment but it wasn't political revenge. do you think that all the scandals that the white house may be referring to are phony? or are some of them legit. >> when you take a look, particularly at the irs problems, there has been no evidence of political swrflment. the irs inappropriately targeted groups by the sounding of them their name. many were from the right, some were from the left side. both were wrong. we have made that very clear. we havic havic to make sure that doesn't happen again. but to bring this into the white house politics, i think, is wrong. what is most important for congress to do is to get moving on the economy and get in an agreement on the budget to help the economy grow.

>> shannon: we can all agree on those issues. >> thank you. >> shannon: vatican says that 3 million people packed into the white sands of copa cabana beach to hear the pontiff's last mass in the world youth festival. he emphasized that the catholic church must shake out the status quo and get out into the streets and reach out. back in 2010, there were rumors of major financial issues by an unponent. was christine odonald also targeted by the irs? and will she run again? we will ask her. a bipartisan group of house members says it has solution yous. we will talk to a couple of congressmen about what they want to see on any plan. a conservative group with a new

two companies that he hangs his hat on for his business background. we go and talk to the real people behind the cutches, the forler employees and really shed a new light on the candidate. i hope people can go to fast terry.com and watch. >> shannon: we invited the campaign, for mr. mcauliffe to come. they declined to, peer. they said it is want surprising that this group, after donating more than dwlon00,000 to you to cuccinelli's campaign that this is a smear campaign. >> he's a professional politician am that's what these guys do. we didn't purt our own editorial content here. you watch the film eye urge

possible moment. no one can prick ask they can't take the risk of making a mistake. they should get back after their time off in august and finish their work and get it done so there is no uncertainty about america's ability to pay its bills. >> we all know that the government's going to get funded. the only question is whether it gets funded with obamacare or without it. >> shannon: there is another showdown between the white house and congress over raising the debt limit. it's coming. i sat down with chris wallace for a preview of the show, talking budget battles and the economy with treasury secretary jack lew. the president gave another economic speech this week. you had the treasury secretary to talk about it. >> interestingly, he was downplaying the deficit because i said, you know, you calling for more government spending. he said, we are doing really well on the deficit. i am not sure about the $17

trillion people in debt that the people will think that. he says the key is to boost the economy -- if it sounds familiar, it's because ofr it is -- more government spend something higher taxes on the wealthy to boost the middle class through spending on the infrastructure, education, clean energy, manufacturing. >> shannon: there is a debate in the republican party about tackling the deficit and the spending. you know, it has to do with trying -- once again -- to repeal obamacare. >> we had mike lee, darling of the tea party, senator from utah on, he is leading the charge. he is saying, we are going to run out of money, no funding of the government for next year unless we defund obamacare -- it has gotten some support from a dozen of his colleagues in the senate. but he's taking fire, not only from democrats, but from republicans. five senator who is had signed on have dropped out and one of his colleagues, richard burrr

says it's the dumbest idea. ul never stop obamacare. if you shut down the government, it will be a political land mine that will hurt republicans in 2014. lee stands firm. he says fwe are against obamacare, we have to do everything we can to stop it. here's an opportunity to take all the discretionary funning. >> >> shannon: he doesn't seem to be feeling the heat -- he may be feeling it, but he seems positive. a wonderful panel. thank you, always, for the panel. you can catch the interviews with jack lew and mike lee right here at 2:00 and 6:00 eastern, after america's news headquarters. we have been asking for your thoughts on the white house scandals, do you feel like they are stunts or legitimate issue?

>> there are multiple plans in play, but none will be put before toa vote before the augustr recess. the latino jewish congressional caucus has its own ideas about any immigration plan. joining us now are two members of this group. welcome, both. >> great to be here. >> thank you. >> congressman, let's talk about what the american people think about this immigration debate. our recent poling shows that whether they believe tell happen this year, 38% say likely, but 58% say it's not going to happen. >> people say it's not going to

happen because they lock at congress, it seems dysfunctional and people are pessimistic. but i think that fundamental immigration reform will happen. i think that both parties will conclude that it should happen. we are working together to try to make it happen. i think it will happen. it may not be the program that everybody would like. i think there is enough compromise in the mainstream that we can have a comprehensive immigration reform bill. >> you are working across the aisle and we have a congressman joining us. tell us about the keys in this plan and what you think the viability, the reality is of getting some of them passed? >> i am very proud of this latino/jewish coalition because both of our populations have been immigrants. we have left our homelands to seek better opportunities here in the united states and freedom and democracy. some left many years ago.

and some in my community left as recently as today. what we have is -- we share common goals toward immigration reform. why do we have those goals? at the same time, we face discrimination, both lateeno lad jewish communities here in this wonderful country. and at the same time, we try to assimilate, become part of the american society, while tai., maintaining our cult and you are our roots. that's what we want to do with this immigration reform is bring commonsense thoughts into this process so that yes, we secure our borders. but at the same time, ibt great immigrants into american society and if we talk more about the integration aspect of immigration reform, people will feel more comfortable because they will think, this is not go to be a stand-alone group, this is part of our american fabric

and society and so this coalition can bring our nation together in favor of immigration reform. >> shannon: she mentioned border reform and security. that's at the top of the list for a lot of folks. another poling result girequiring new border security first, before changing immigration policy. 69% we surveyed said, that's the key, bortder security first. 20% oppose that. how this is border enforcement and how would you enforcement? >> it has to come simultaneously. i agree with everything my colleague just said. you need to make sure that there is a stiffened because people think that's what should happen. we got into trouble because we didn't have adequate border control. but on the other hand, we do have 11 million undo you meaned people who are here, they are here to stay. they are not going back. it is foolish to being that they can go back or will go back.

we need to find a way to make shem americans. and i think the talk -- president bill in the senate was a good compromise. it may not satisfy everybody to each degree, but you need to have a strengthening control at border and making sure that we control our borders. we have to control our borders. at the same time, we have to give these people a path to citizenship. it is silly to have them live on the margin, they work, they pay taxes, they do jobs that many people don't want to do. i think what we need is comprehensive reform. now, whether the house divide its into five or six bills, it doesn't matter, as long as the end product is the same, i think it would be a lost opportunity to not do immigration reform. let me say, the bill that the senate passed is a bill that would take 11, 12, 13 years for people who are undocumented to

become citizens. i think that's a pretty stiff penalty. i don't really think that's an amnesty. they would have to work their way towards citizenship, they would learn english, pay a fine. at the same time, we are strengthening the borders, so i think it's a win for everybody. >> shannon: congressman, i want to ask to you respond to critics who say that these plans are rewarding people whose first action on u.s. soil is coming here illegally and committing a crime. >> i don't think so. the bill calls for heavy penalties. it calls for them to be good citizens, to learn english, to know civic education and to get in the back of the line of all the people who have broken no laws and have come here and been waiting their turn at bat. so this doesn't reward bad behavior. not at all. in fact some of the more vocal pro-immigrant groups don't like this aspect of the bill that we are discussing because they think 15 years to wait for

citizenship -- that's far too long. so they are going to be lobbying for a far more moderate bill. that's want going to happen. i think this is a good, balanced approach. the house will take up a piece-meal approach, paul ryan says he thinks we may have it by october. i think coalitions is what we need to do. noose what the latino-jewish coalition is about. we need to build coalitions between the democrats and the republicans and get the economy going. imbrants are a big part of that, by paying the fees and the fines and that will be good for the economy. >> shannon: -- >> pay taxes. >> shannon: congressmen, thank you both very much. we will keep an eye on your progress. >> thank you. >> shannon: all right. heavy rains caused flashflooding in parts of the south. and according to first responders, racing to help people stuck in the fast-moving waters. we will show you more after the

break. another target, potentially the irs, christine o'donnell is here live. she was allegedly targeted and the records about the snooping -- they're gone. we will get her reaction, next. i gotta go deposit a check, transfer some money. so it's your uncle's turn. what? wait, wait, wait... no, no, no, wait, wait.

scandal may have had a direct impact on a very popular senate election. christine o'donnell says she was targeted. she says a delaware government official illegally got her private tax records and a problem with a lien on her home was circulated. good afternoon to you. it's been a couple of years since a lot of folks have seen you on the front pages but you are back because of what we are learning. chuck grassley has gotten involved. he said that permission was given by someone to access your records. but now the records about the accessing are no longer. your reaction. >> right, right. well, every explanation that the irs or the delaware official who is illegally accessed my records, their explanations raise more questions because what i was told is that they accessed my records on march 9, which is the day that i

announced by u.s. senate campaign -- march 9, 2010. it was the same day that an erroneous tax lien was filed on my records and then the delaware officials say, no, it was march 20, but we can't prove that because they were destroyed-- the records were destroyed. here's the thing, whether it was march 9 or march 20, there is a lot of fishy circumstances. let me put in context what a breach of privacy it is to access somebody someone's tax records. the fbi, with all of their access to everybody's privacy, the fbi can't legally look into your tax records. yet some random delaware employee can -- on a saturday afternoon, no less? again, there are too many questionable circumstances. the irs has said that that tax lean was a so-called computer error. then have you my former democratic opponent with this

erroneous tax lien with new castle county, while he was running the county. and recently, he said that he sees nereason to continue this investigation. well, at the very least, he can question his former staff to find out where the error was made. if it real was a so-called error that they filed this lien with new castle county, it was done by his staff. let's get some answers. >> shannon: all right. initially, the department of justice declined to pursue an investigation. the treasury department oversees taxing administration is opening an investigation. but it sounds like you are saying that i a lot of this appears to be potentially, the use of the irs as a political tool in the midst of a political campaign. >> absolutely. there are too many random

coincidences. either the departments are completely inept or it's coordinated chaos. i think by peal people like senator kuntz, my former opponent, demanning transparency and questioning his staff will help it and with the inspector general, continuing this investigation and with the delaware department of revenue, would turn over their records rs and show what they have, will help to answer the questions. keep in mind, this isn't just me. we found out from the treasury inspector general's office that there have been at least other incidents where candidates or political donors have had their tax records inappropriately accessed around that same time. this is very alarming. and the reason it should alarm anybody, regardless of your political belief is in order to get our country back on track, we need everyday americans

stepping up and running for office. when people think that the irs could be used as a political weapon against them, it's very intimidating and so this whole investigation is about restoring fairness to the political process. i am grateful that that -- that senator grassley sees that and is not letting these questionable circumstances go without a decent explanation. >> shannon: all right. we have to go. but i have to ask you -- any plans to run again? and for what? >> well, tipts, this investigation is -- at this point, this investigation is consuming a lotted of my time. i think i can do as much if not more good by following this investigation through. >> shannon: thank you very much. you have heard of lay away at department stores, but what if you could use leiaway for a next vacation. it's not a dream. we'll tell but it right after the break.

channels and congested channels. >> you've got 90% of the world's cargo going across the seas, imagine shutting down a port. imagine running a ship aground. these are the kinds of implications we're worried about. >> reporter: what's more, the gps on this superyacht is similar to that of a commercial arieler. a ship or aircraft could be slowly shifted on to a disastrous path with no one the wiser until it's too late. >> the reason in the beginning for them wanting to do this is to censure that people navigated on the high seas know that this kind of attack is possible. >> reporter: what's being done to protect against it? after fox news reported on another report last year, the faa, cia and pentagon all took notice. but the department of homeland security according to humphries

is fumbling around in the dark. mike mccall is frustrated at the lack of action. >> this is a serious issue, and i think you're right that the cia and military understand and they're looking at. and i believe that the department of homeland security as jurisdiction over this and they're doing nothing to respond to this. >> a draft report is expected at the end of august and depending on what it says, could prompt congressional hearing. john roberts, fox news. the obama administration has said it more than once, republicans are using phony scandals to make the focus off the nation's economic problems. what scandals are they talking about? we now know the irs is one for sure. it is a texas-sized showdown

between attorney general eric holder and the lone star state over voting laws. a fair and balanced debate on that. and a holocaust memorial shouldn't be allowed on government property. all of that and regulation nation, new trucking regulations that could end up costing us all more at the store. li washington is watching a violent weekend in egypt. the country's interim president has just given the prime minister the power -- the streets of cairo are crowded today but so far no reports of violence, unlike yesterday where 72 people died. >> reporter: tensions continue

to mount in egypt as does the death toll. at least 70 people have been killed. hundreds were also injured. this all comes when the egyptian military opened fire on people, demonstrations, by people in support of mohammed morsi. a power that potentially signals a massive crackdown on the muslim brother hood could be coming. one government official said -- the muslim brotherhood continues to -- the military restores him to power. that power is very unlikely to happen. the growing violence is dividing the pro military transitional government with several members of the coalition voicing concerns about the violent clashes. the secretary of state john kerry today called for restraint

and also for the military to respect the right of peaceful assembly. that so far has been ignored and judging by the reports of what we have been hearing coming out of egypt. things are getting worse there, not better. following this weekend of deadly violence, word now that egypt's military is getting the okay or could have the prime minister, get the okay to arrest civilians. what is that going to mean for an already volatile situation. general jack king joins us now. what do you make of that directive, that the military is going to be able to arrest civilians? how does that change the calculus? >> that's going to make it significant because i believe what the military has decided and it's a strategic decision

for them that the muslim brotherhood is not going to be part -- the demonstration on friday from getting the people's support and then the violence that took place on saturday, many of the people killed were head shots which probably means the use of snipers and spotters to take down demonstration leaders. now to also go into the streets and make wholesale arrests. i think that is a pattern that's being played out and the military is really putting their foot down. >> okay, you mentioned the charges now against morsi, his supporters still continue to turn out in the streets. is that going to foment, though, more unrest, as the military is saying, listen, we're trying to be peaceful here, that's according to the military, we need to clear the streets, we need these sit ins to stop. do you see that at all on the horizon? >> i don't think so. i think the muslim brotherhood is seizing this opportunity, they know they have world

attention, they want to change world opinion. they know they did not have a favorable government in egypt. they sort of for fitted the opportunity they had in my own mind. but they're going to use this as an opportunity even if it means bloodshed for them. >> what do you see being the end result here? do you think the military is able to quell things? it seemed to be a pretty broad spectrum when this opposition to morsi initially ignited in the streets. will the military be able to find peace there? >> that's a tough question, i do think we're turning a page here in terms of increased violence. i don't know if the military is sophisticated enough to separate the extreme muslim leaders from the rest of the islamic leaders so they can participate in the process. i would hope they could and could do that, but i don't think they have the capacity to do it.

>> what do you think about trying not to turn this into a coup, but not to seconds those f-16s which were part of a previously negotiated deal? >> after mthe administration isg very much involved in this. dialoguing with the interim government, with the military on a regular basis and trying to help them develop a path forward, that's good news, and i think we're starting this aid which they're currently doing to sort of get their attention a little bit by holding back on the f-16s. i think congress should relook the whole egyptian aid business and maybe establish some conditions for this aid as we go forward. >> general jack keane, always good to see you. >> good seeing you, shannon. over the past couple of years in particular, washington has taken its quite off teye of.

shift focus from what needs to be done. >> the administration is not letting it go, once again blasting critics who the president says are distracting americans with phony scandals. exactly which scandals is he talking about? the white house isn't saying, but this morning press secretary jack lew seemed to confirm that it's the targ. >> we have to look at the facts, there's been a lot of investigations, there's been a lot of hearings, ig, the justice department, its unlikely that any decision maker was vod in any of those decisions. >> we have been asking you if you think the quote phony scandals are political stunts as the administration says or legitimate issues? we have gotten a ton of feedback. here are some of your twitter responses. sally asks, i wonder if the four

killed in benghazi would call that phony. keep your answers coming, to @knhq. the reporter who broke the story about the national security administration program said that even low level americans can access -- it comes as a fox news poll shows americans are just about evenly split on whether the programs can help or hurt. can our government ball -- senator, thank you so much for coming in. i know that you have said in the past as we are learning more about the nsa capabilities, that there are members on both sides of the aisle you who think have been using this for political advantage, or at least putting out information that you think is not accurate about the program? >> i think it's a lot of

mischaracterization and misinterpretation of what's happening and what's not happening. i think that the american people, particularly with this trust deficit of anything that's coming out of washington. i don't think the president's going to feel very good about using that phrase in the future. it works in the campaign trail, but not as a political characterization. but this falls under a different category, but the people need to know, to trust their government that they're trying to provide for their security, but balancing that with protections of privacy. we can't let one go in an effort to shore up another one. that we have to find that balance. those of us in the intelligence committee, the administration, the courts, members of congress, all need to look at this, know what it is, know what it isn't. educate the american people as to what we're doing and try to restore that trust that we're

truly looking out for their safety and not listening to their telephone calls. >> we want a larger number, 41% that these programs were more likely to hurt americans than the 4 41% who said they would hp catch terrorists. as you say, that these programs are necessary? >> i'm not visurprised by those results, given benghazi, given irs, and the phony scandals coming out of washington. i think people have lost trust in their government. i think we need to replace that by transparency in what we're doing. but the problem is a lot of this is classified americans. the terrorists are listening and they're finding work arounds for that. it compromises what we we're trying to do. but if people take the time to

learn exactly what it is and what it isn't. let me give you a personal example. this has been released. zozi was a known terrorist in pakistan. we knew what his phone number was. when it was matched against this database of phone numbers, we found out he was talking, terrorist in pakistan was talking to zozi who was then in colorado. we're saying wait a minute, there's something wrong here, what's the guy in colorado doing talking to a known terrorist in pakistan. we took that information to the court, the court said, yeah, go ahead and investigate that. the fbi did, they arrest people. zozi pleaded guilty. this was the new york subway bombing. so that's just one example of the more than 50 of which we have been able to intercept or use this information, this technique. at the same time, there's a lot of misinformation out there about what this is. we have a responsibility, i think members of congress,

media, others, the president and others, the president has stepped out and said the right thing on all this, to inform the american public that we can protect their security interests, we can protect their privacy, they're not incompatible. after all we don't want to move back before we were on 9/11 in terms of undermining our security. >> i want to talk about the vote over the house. it was 271-205. that's a pretty tight margin. >> it is. >> on an amendment that would have blocked funding for nsa surveillance that was specifically limited to persons of interest. that would reason a big development had that passed. now of course it wouldn't just go through the house, it would have to go further than that. what's your reaction to that vote? >> according to the intelligence

community, it would have compromised the program to the point where it might not have been able to go forward. we need that instantaneous understanding of something that links us up with a known terrorist. we can't go through a whole lot of process, but we do go to a special court to do that. the amendment that was proposed, really this ought to be debated in the context of the patriot act. you can't just throw an amendment out there at a time of where there is a trust deficit, where people don't trust washington. again, i'm not surprised by that vote. but, again, to me, it tells me that we have to have this responsibility of letting the american people know that we're looking out for their interests, we have multiple layers of oversight. i'm on the intelligence committee and the senate, i will not compromise in terms of people's privacy and rights to privacy. at the same time, i want to make sure that we follow the law and the administration and the security agencies are doing that in using a technology that helps us identify terrorists in time

to stop their attacks. >> and as you said, we all have a responsibility to know the truth, what's fact or fiction about these programs. senator, thank you for coming in. eric holder targets texas for voter id laws and others. but is this about civil rights or is it a political ploy. it's a fair and balanced debate. it's a feisty one, you won't want to mis-hit. and we're talking to young cancer patients who are reaching out online and trying to reach out to others as well. life bala. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

mo mostly southern states, eric holder did the opposite. he announced that the justice department is targeting texas trying to force the state to get federal approval for any change in its voting laws over the next decade. holder spoke at the national urban league convention in philadelphia. >> it's the role of the justice department to monitor jurisdictions around the country for changing that may hamper these voting rights. >> just hours after the supreme court ruling, texas became the first state to react, by immediately implementing its new voter id law. but holder cited another court decision that found that congressional redistricting plan redistricted against latino vot voters. >> this is what the court said, the parties provided more evidence of discriminatory intent than we have space or need to address here. this is a federal court that said that. >> reporter: in texas reaction

was sharp. republican governor rick perry branded holder's move as an end run around the supreme court. he said once again the obama administration is zmen straiting utter contempt for our country's system of checks and balances. and john cornyn accused the white house of bullying his state. >> part of the long-term strategy of this administration is to try to turn texas blue. so they're engaging in this kind of bogus political activity to try to raise concerns with regard to things like minority voting that simply aren't supported by the evidence. and i think this is to create a false impression that somehow mine north rights are not being protected, which they are. >> reporter: ted cruz was also critical accusing ted holder of politicizing the justice department saying holder's

refusal to accept the judgment of the u.s. supreme court court regarding prescleerns continues the department's long standing pattern of refusing to follow the law. promising legal action saying this is the same justice department that criminaliz criminalizes ---for his part holder promises even more actions on other issues in other states. as a follow-up to eric's record, there's plenty of backlash for the department's decision to go after texas. so is the move about protecting civil rights? is it politics or is it in some way both? radio show host mark r radio they're not getting rid of the voting rights act, but

they're taking away -- all of the states and municipalities are in trouble and said to congress rewrite the formula. eric holder is not waiting for that. >> the formula is decades old, eric holder is going under section 3. if you're deliberatelily racist, if you're deliberately using race conscious elements to restrict people from voting. it's 2.3 million people they're throwing off the voter roll, between 5% and 18%. >> there's a reason the state doesn't believe they belong there. >> these are people like people born by mid wives that don't have birth certificates, these are students with student id. these are people that can't travel the 250 miles they have to drive to get an id. they can't afford to pay the pole tax, you have to have a birth certificate.

$24, even though the constitution of the united states decided you can't have a poll tax. texas is trying to bring back jim crow. even though the state is majority nonwhite, they have to let them vote too. >> it will take about an hour to untangle the training wreck of absurdities contained that opening statement. the supreme court has thrown it to congress to redraw the map. they haven't thrown out the formula, they have said congress needs to address it because it was nearly a half a century ago, it was 48 years ago. join us here in the 21st century where it's not 1965 anymore, first of all. secondly, this whole driver's license thing is ridiculous. i had to show a driver's license to pick up my dry-cleaning yesterday, you had to show a driver's license to get into this building today. homeless people have driver's licenses, to say that that's outright racism is ridiculous. >> 5% of texans don't have a driver's license. >> 5%, are they under 16 in.

>> people vote, why not give everyone a voter id. >> every state that requires it has done that as a matter of fact. and secondly, jim crow is a democrat project, thank you very much. everyone standing in the schoolhouse doors all democrats. >> another phony -- when he gave up racism and moved forward. robert byrd didn't, other than. of course we let people vote. i grow up in chicago where democrats have been stealing elections quite proudly and bragging about it for generations. joe kennedy, father of the kennedy clan, famously said in west virginia w, hey, i'm not paying for a landslide here. an obama volter and an active democrat was just thrown in jail in ohio for voting repeatedly in

multiple elections. voter fraud is very real. the only people who want to preserve laws as they are want -- >> do you know how many cases in texas since 2000 involved voter impersonation fraud? the federal courts have found zero. even attorney general. >> gentlemen. okay, having talked to the texas attorney general, greg abbott who's now running for governor there, he says they've handled hundreds of cases. >> here's what he said, he said there were 57 cases of voter fraud throughout the state. that includes absentee voting fraud, that includes registration fraud. there were two cases according to greg abbott of in person voting fraud. the voter id doesn't prevent someone from falselyly voting b absentee ballot. >> the supreme court under the

opinion written by justice john paul stevens, not a right wing nut job by any stretch of the imagination said it's okay to have volter id. >> you can have voter id. but what you kncan't do is prevt people from getting a voter id. you can't use a student id, you can't use a government id. if you work for the state capitol, you -- >> you don't have to have a citizen to have a state id to wok in the capitol. you have to be a citizen to vote. >> there were a number of democratic amendments in this bill. they said if you have to travel 250 niles to vote, you should get a travel reimbursement. >> where does that bureaucracy come from? >> it's right here in the constitution. >> you're very emotional. >> i am. . >> how about the second

amendment. >> a gun license, that lets you vote in texas. >> not a concealed gun license. >> but not a student id and not a government id. >> you have to show an id to buy a gun. you wouldn't be in favor of people buying guns without an id. that's a constitutional right and it requires id. >> having had zero resolution, we're going to leave it right there. we thank you both, we're glad that the constitution is making an appearance here. some say it is a war on religion. we're going to talk to a group that is fighting for a holocaust museum and we'll hear the arguments against it, next.

an atheist group freedom from religion says it's going to sue because the star of david on the memorial violates the u.s. constitution. the u.s. center for law disagrees. you know i've talked with atheist groups saying that the star of david is a religious symbol. >> we say, one, that that starts, the holocaust denialism, the idea that it wasn't about jews, that's number one. yes, there were other people killed. which this memorial inscribes it it goes through the whole litany of people who were caught up and the enemies of the nazis. so there were other people that were in the concentration camps, yes, but the final goal was getting rid of u jews. some people were taken down to the level, well, now we're going to treat you like a jew because

you opposed us or you're different too so you're going to be thrown into this group. the star of david, the way they're so wrong on this, to say that it's just a religious symbol, when it was a symbol that you were forced to wear t jews were forced to wear, so they were labeled so it was easier for nazis to put them in the trains and send them off to places like auschwitz. >> we know that there's been a lot of conversation and a lot of, you know, consulting going into the memorial before this came together. this is the final project that was produced. there was one person who reportedly left the commission deciding on this because that person didn't agree with the inclusion of the star of david? >> the chairman of the capitol review board, most states have this to keep all of their memorials at that capitals pretty much basically. the chair has been opposed to this and he agrees with freedom from religion foundation, that's

an endorsement of judaism. sit back for a second and they ohio is now endorsing, is now a jewish state? no, and that's what the supreme court uses -- to say that well the holocaust was from the atheist groups doesn't belong to jews, think about that statement, there would not be a holocaust without the targeting of the jews. other people were killed, this memorial acknowledges that. i think the atheists may have gone a little bit too far which is why their backing off from their threat. >> the supreme court looked at this and they were looking at specifically crosses on war mem mourls. basically, symbols can have a lot of different meanings and it doesn't mean if you include a cross in a memorial to vet that you're not necessarily endorsing the christian faith and you don't have to scrub the public square of any minor implication

of religion. >> the statue of jesus in montana, a world war ii memorial. >> and that was gee discuss. >> that was jesus, this is a star of david. >> the difference between the aclu and these groups, is a hatred. they have on their website freedom from religion, they ask people to put on giddeon's bibles and hotels. >> okay, and on that note, jordan, thank you very much. we'll keep an eye on this ohio plan and as it plays out, let us know. the obama administration claims that it is not targeting the coal industry, but some say it's not true. is the agency trying to bring the industry to its news by

thomas, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> let's talk about these regulations, they're limiting the workweek that you can work, taking off 12 hours that you would have been able to work before, it has rest periods, naps, all kinds of things in there. the administration says it's about making you safer, so what's the problem? >> well, you know, we have been under regulations that they put on us for approximately nine years now. and the regulations that they proposed and enacted nine years ago has made the trucking industry so much safer than it ever was before. our accident frequency, our fatality rate, everything across the board has been declining year after year, ever since they already put those regulations in place. and just to add these new regulations is really, it's kind of fixing a problem that wasn't really there in the first place. we have been getting safer every year, and i know myself as a driver, i plan to get safer every year going forward. >> i want to read a quote that

comes from the federal motor carrier safety administrator, she says that they developed a rule based on the latest sleep science and sought input from all trucking companies. i know for a lot of truckers that we talk to about this, they say flexibility is an issue. you can't always control what weather you're going to hit and those things. how will this impact your ability to do your job? >> well, what it does is -- you know, as a driver and just like any other individual out there, we know our bodies better than anybody. we know when we're getting tired or fatigued, either one. it's important for us to have the flexibility to say i'm tired. i need to take a break. with these new rules, they're coming forward saying you have to take a break at this time in your day. for a lot of drivers it's just not possible. the trucking industry is so diverse in our operations and the different trucking companies and aspects of the whole situation. we're all different.

and quite honestly, the new rules they've put in place, they try to do a one size fits all rule which is hard to do with the different variations we have out there. i applaud them. i think they do a great job trying to come up with rules to make the industry safer and all the roads in america safer. it's just that this particular rule that they came out with, i have a real hard time seeing it working out the way that they're saying it's going to. >> one estimate is this is going to cost businesses $11,000 per offense. if they get caught for each offense. and just complying with this, a lot of businesses say it's going to take more rigs, more drivers to transport the same load you would transport before the regulation. who's going to pay all those extra costs? >> well, you know, essentially it's going to come down to consumers. it's coming down to all americans. any time you have a loss in the trucking community, the shippers

and receivers will be charged more. it will take more drivers and more trucks. and if they get charged more, they're going to pass their costs along to the price of goods on the store shelves. the taxpayers are the ones that will foot the bill on this in the long run. and for a rule that wasn't necessary like i said, we've been getting safer every year without this rule. >> thomas miller, driver extraordinary. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very for having me. the obama administration says it is not launching a war on coal. but regulations are threatening to bring it to its knees. fact or fiction. >> reporter: the next time you turn on a light, think of john tote or others working today to dig the coal that fuels 40% of the electricity for the most productive nation man kind has ever known. >> my son makes his living by

doing subcontracting work in the coal industry. and i have a couple grandchildren. one or two going to west virginia university right now. to get a minor in engineering degree. >> reporter: but the warning signs are ominous. now sits idle as do 130 others or 1/6 of the total of other coal plants in the u.s. the obama administration has rejected the accusation. but it presses ahead with more carbon regulations. >> i'm directing the environmental protection agency to support an end to the limitless dumping from our power plants and create new pollution standards for both new and existing power plants. >> reporter: that latest proposal provoked to accuse the president in this monday letter of quote, circumventing the will of congress which has repeatedly voted gents carbon regulations. west virginia bears the effects

of epa's enforcement, unemployment, struggling businesses, and a lower tax base. >> the plants are assessed a fee or they're taxed on the value of the plant. >> don't put money down on houses or anything because the regulations coming in could be a big factor in our community. >> it's going to stop our coal mines in west virginia, we're going to end up like a ghost town. >> reporter: even here in the heart of coal town, opinions are changing. >> i believe the epa needs more enforcement. we're producing more coal than we ever have >> reporter: u.s. coal exports have doubled to 120 million tons today. regulations forced the retirement of domestic plants, but exports are fueling our competitors like china which often burn without pollution requirements required here. one of the reasons that coal

exports continue to thrive is that terminals are controlled by the army corps of engineers and not by the epa. putting tremendous pressure on the obama administration to change that. >> all right. great report. thank you. we asked and boy, did you answer. your tweets weighing in next. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

washington. thanks for watching fox news where we remain proud and fearless. i'm chris wallace. the president tries to change the subject back to the economy. >> an endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals can't get in the way of what we need to do. >> that's assuming there is any sizzle left after you've reheated this so many times. >> we'll talk with jack lew about the president's plan to help the middle class. and we'll discuss the budget battles ahead with republican senator mike lee. plus anthony weiner admits old habits are tough to break. >> i have said that other texts
