insurgents. america has promised more sanctions if the violence isn't stopped in eastern ukraine. russia says they have nothing to do with it. bill: the president spoke to putin by phone. was the tone of that conversation stormy like it is in washington? >> reporter: frank views were exchanges and each one gave a different explanation for what's going on in ukraine and why. the white house put out a statement saying quote the president expressed grave concern about russian government support about the actions of pro russian separatists and he urged putin to use his influence with these armed groups to convince them to depart the buildings they have seized. but the kremlin said putin told president obama he should do all

he can to prevent the use of force and bloodshed in ukraine. and he said reports of russia meddling in ukraine are false. but information seems to back up the president saying you a cranans have made false claims about their security in order to justify a russian invasion. bill: what are the openings if aggression by pro-russian forces continues? >> reporter: here is jay carney at yesterday's briefing here at the white house. >> russia continues to engage in provocative actions in eastern ukraine. the mere presence of the troops in addition to what else they have done inside ukraine creates a threat of destabilization

within ukraine and we'll consider next steps in concert with our european partners. >> reporter: the up s. says a russian warplane made provocative low passes over a u.s. navy destroyer over the weekend. the plane never responded to requests to identify itself. they never heard back. bill: steve centanni from the north lawn. martha: the city and the nation remembering the deadly bombings at the boston marathon one year ago today. you can forget that explosion. on this date last year a pair of explosions rocked the finish of the boston marathon, killing three people and injuring

hundreds more. 260 people injured and 16 losing limbs. but today they are showing they are still boston strong. molly line is live from boston. >> reporter: today's event is invite only. a number of dignitaries are expected to be there. among them vice president joe biden, and the former mayor of boston who was the mayor at the time of the attack. event organizers anticipate there will be 2,500 people there, among them, survives, first responders and doctors who were there saving lives. we had a chance to speak with one of the lifesavers. dr. david king, a trauma surgeon

at massachusetts general hospital. he just finished running the marathon, was not far away when he heard the explosions. king is a former army doctor and has served in iraq and afghanistan. he rushed to work and treated a dozen of the wound. >> even people who weren't there and didn't participate in care and were half a word away are changed because of it. it was such a big event that had the potential really for striking fear in our city but it could have been any city. >> reporter: so many of the hearts and mind of people around the world will be thinking of boston and that mantra boston strong will be in their hearts and mind.

martha: then there will be a moment of silence, correct? >> reporter: a moment of silence at 2:49, the moment lives were claimed at the finish line and there will be a flag raising at the finish line. martha: we'll talk to one of the survivors of the boston bombings. j.p. craven was injured in that explosion. he will talk to us about his experience and how he has now converted that into one of helping other people. a lot of stories like that. bill: a reminder we'll be live in boston monday as racers once again go back to the streets for the 118th running of the boston marathon. even moments after the attack they said we'll be back next year and we'll be back in greater numbers. how do you keep 22.6 miles safe?

heartbreak after a deadly shooting at jewish center in kansas. 14-year-old reit william and his son were gunned down. the mother arriving moments after the shooting took place. >> when i pulled into the parking lot i saw my dad's truck was there and his doors were open an was lying on the ground. my first thought was he had a heart attack. but quickly i realized it wasn't that and i knew my dad was in heaven. i ran around the truck and i saw my son lying there. they were holding him. i did not get a good look at

him. i saw he seemed lifeless. i did not get a good look at him until somebody named mickey grabbed me and pulled me away from the scene. >> reporter: the prosecutors made it clear they will come across from the state and federal level. state charges could come as early as today. the u.s. attorney made it clear they will both route of the grand grand jury and that takes more time. prosecutors may have made statement that put them over the threshold to believe they could move forward with hate crime charges. you have statement that cross made, a lot for prosecutors to work with. bill: as we learn more about glenn frazier cross it seems no one even likes that man.

>> reporter: he was a quiet guy who kept to himself but he has a long history of hate with the kkk. he appeared on television. he posted on the web. he appeared on the radio. neighbors knew of his lean cans and they didn't like it. >> most people knew his beliefs and just avoided him. they didn't come around us and we didn't go around them. >> reporter: even the kkk and aryan brotherhood are denouncing cross. they sent out a statement saying we condemn the actions of glenn miller and support the maximum punishment for his crimes if he's convicted. hour thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by this heinous crime. the fbi was aware of him but

hadn't been watching him lately. martha: tensions with russia on the rights this hour and that prompted a personal phone call from the white house to the kremlin. ambassador john bolton on the showdown there. bill: tough talk from senator harry reid as protesters dig in again on the bundy ranch. martharanch.. >> i saw one of the units had blown out and saw one of the men staggering out of the unit.

being evacuated. >> it felt like somebody started banging on the building, and we walked out and turned the corn and in thed the wall was missing. we saw a lot of people running. >> officials say the blast displaced dozens of people and caused an estimate $50,000 in damage. >> what we and our allies and partners can do is make clear there are costs for this kind of behavior when you violate a sovereign nation's integrity and you make efforts to destabilize a sovereign nation. those actions incur costs. the united states stands with our european friends in imposing those costs. bill: what will those costs be? president obama talking by phone with vladimir putin yesterday.

president obama warning of possible new sanctions if moscow does not help end the violence in ukraine. john bolton former ambassador to the u.n. where are we on this? when jay carney talks about costs, what is he refer to? >> it's utterly rhetoric. the sanctions that were imposed after the russian takeover of crimea. they obviously had no impact on putin's behavior. putin seized this weakness on the part of the united states and europe and it says to him he can continue to act as he is now, raising tensions in eastern ukraine and possibly pro vehicle confrontation to give putin the

context to send it. bill: what does he do now? >> i think he's running. i thought what he wanted to do was get a government kiev that's subjec --that's subservient to . but after crimea i think he believes he can take parts of the ukraine. he's in a win-win situation. bill: let me show you the gee somethingee --let me show you t. this is where the russian forces are moved in these regions all along the eastern border of the ukraine. the russians say they are under military training and exercise. this is what we believe is happening based on the reporting

the past 24 hours. kiev the ukrainian government has sent soldiers into the eastern part of the country with the russian bored. the point being, vladimir putin is saying they are there to protect rugs. the ukrainian government is there to say we there to protect our people. but in this half of the country, the eastern ukraine is where the action will be for some time. what happens there? >> these particular provinces where the takeover of ukrainian building has taken place are largely culturally russian, russian speaking and eastern orthodox and religion. putin has demonstrated by using salami tactics he's able to step ahead. all he hears from obama is if

you do it next time the sanctions will increase. i think putin calculates it's all hot air and if he measure how he approaches this he will get what he wants. there is no indication from the white house or the europeans they are prepared to take strong, meansful financial sanctions against the russian government. bill: i guess the bigger point is when you have situations like this developing it just takes one spark to set it off and it appears we are moving toward that. do you agree with that? >> an unintentional act, an misunderstood communication can start the hostilities. when you get to this point you are at the most dangerous stage before the conflict begins. and i think if it happens in these provinces it kel spread to the southern parts of ukraine where -- which is also

very close culturally to russia. >> reporter: back to the conversation. when the president says they have grave concern the talks were frank and direct, does that tell you much? >> i think putin heard this before. i think he has seen the rhetoric. he heard the president talk the talk, but there isn't any walking the walk that follows. i think the conversation that means more to putin than anything else was the off mike discussion the president had to president medvedev of russia when he said tell vladimir after the election i can be more flexible. i think vladimir putin is calling in his chips on that one. martha: one year ago today two terrorists shook boston to its core with a pair of deadly bombings. the boston marathon bombs and their aftermath as that story

martha: the showdown in the desert is not over. senate majority leader harry reid warning of possible legal action against protesters who showed up to support the nevada rancher. >> if he doesn't have enough moral fiber to see what happened. we the people got together and made something right, i don't think there is any hope for him and he needs to be kicked out of office even if he is the senate majority leader. it doesn't matter. martha: rich lowry is the editor of the national review and fox news contributor. this is cliven bundy, the father, the main rancher in this story. >> it's definitely done for

political reasons. they wanted to show the american people and the world that they have unlimited power. them have taken overstate sovereignty and laws, our public lands. listen. do you think they have taken it over? i don't think so. they might have took over the clark county sheriff but we never took over we the people, the sovereign people of this nation. we are standing. reporter: the main stormy is mr. bundy has been grazing his cat the on what the federal government says are federal lands since the 90s. he says since nevada became a state the state is sovereign and is there is no such thing as federal land. >> i'm in the dreaded position of being nuanced on this. legally he's clearly in the wrong. ' there has been litigation for 20 years.

he doesn't recognize the federal government and the federal government owns this land. his family has been there since 1876 pursuing this way of life before the bureau of land management existed and it's true the federal government trying to squeeze him out of his way of life. martha: he's the last rancher in clark county, nevada. >> that way of life is change. i think the bureau of land management overstepped, particularly from a p.r. perspective. going and seizing these cattle. it's clearly created a problem for them that they recognized. the biggest problem they created is they made this guy a sympathetic character. there are 16,000 other ranchers paying their fees to use this federal land and he's not. he has been getting out of it for 20 years. martha: he started to represent

something. what he's representing across the country is that the federal government has become too much in people's business and he's saying i'm purposing back. i don't want that anymore. judge napolitano said the blms who arrested him should be arrested themselves. >> it's become symbolic because blm overstepped by taking the across they took. by backing off they are doing the right thing. but it's problematic that he's the face of what you are talking about and the politicians coming from across state line to take advantage of this and really foment what is already an ugly situation. martha: when harry reid says it's not over. where are we going next? >> i hope the federal government does not get into another confrontation here. what you don't want is what we had in the 90s where the

federal government got in a confrontation with whackos an ended up killing a lot of people. if you can pursue a solution it will require people getting around the table to work thing out. you don't want guns drawn. >> i think that 15 minutes what harry reid meant. you have to pursue a lawful solution. the guy has been violating the law for 20 years. martha: what do you make of the civil disobedience of this. >> it's in the tradition of civil disobedience. you think laws are unjust you don't honor them. one of the cases sympathizers of bundy are make is the government itself is lawless. the government is pick and

choosing which laws they enforce, why doesn't bundy get to pick and choose what laws he honors. true that there are -- you have a right to protest. what they don't have a right to do is foment violence, that's what is dangerous here and what the politicians and the rhetoric need to back off on. bill: a airlines passenger passenger tried to pry open an exit door. >> reporter: this happened about an hour into the flight. the passengers just settled in when they started to hear screams. i want you to take a look at cell phone video that was shot a short time after the incident and shows airport police

escorting him off the plane. when he made moves to open the exit door the stewardess started screaming. several passengers jumped on him. >> you hear a student is cry for help on a plane an everybody is thinking terrorists. he did not relent the whole time. he was fighting back the whole time. >> reporter: dr. porter says he wasn't making much sense. that his eyes were dilated man this medical opinion he thinks he was on some kind of drugs. >> reporter: what kind of charges could he face? >> they are pretty serious. it's not a good idea to try to open an airplane door in midnight. he could face 20 years behind bars. some of the local affiliates in sacramento are reporting he has

a long criminal history including arrests for disorderly conduct. they are convinced he had bad plans that he wanted to hurt everyone on the plane, potentially kill everyone on the plane so they are glad they stepped in and took him down. bill: will carr in los angeles. thanks. martha: let's get a look at the markets. the big board up 53 points, banks like citigroup beat their first quarter estimate. they closed down yesterday after so selloffs. we'll keep an eye on what's going on on wall street. bill: feels like a yo-yo. the boston bombing one year later. also what he's doing to help others whose lives were changed forever on this day one year ago.

but he recovered and along with the other victims he's raising money to give back to the community eastbound calls home. good morning to you. it's that day on the calendared. calendar. how often have you thought about that possibility when this day arrivals again? what goes through your mind? >> i think about it, you know, from time to time, it's sock that's going to be there for the remainder of my life. but it's not something i dwell on. it's something i have been looking forward to next monday to be able to run. today is the day that i kind of knew was coming. but next monday is the day i was looking forward to and getting out there. bill: i love to hear that answer. up were at the finish line wait fogger your father.

you were knocked unconscious. what do you remember next? >> i was on the ground -- i remember just thinking that i walked into a pole or something was going on. it took me five seconds for me to realize i needed to get out of there. i was bleeding and my head was ringing. so that's just when i ran away from the scene. bill: your shirt was on fire. up were drenched in blood. you had surgery on your head. at least one ear and you had surgery on your nose and you were concerned your hearing might be lost forever. how are you doing today? >> i'm doing great. the recovery process treated me well. someone was certainly look out for me. i know a lot of people weren't as lucky as i am today. but last year, you know, even the day or two after i realized i was very lucky.

even the things that were potentially going to cause me problems were superficial such as my hearing and even those things today have come back. so the day or two after and today i just -- i'm very lucky for the situation that i'm in. bill: i read that your father was a mile from the finish line but was unable to cross it. but he says he ran another mile to the hospital to see you directly. that's how he finished the race by running that additional mile. is your dad running again this year? >> he is. he's running along with my sister and a number of my friend. there is a group of 8 of us running. most of us have boston medical center numbers to raise money for them. but even the ones who don't have numbers are part of that cause helping to raise money. report * whether it's you or so much others from boston.

that's how thee they redirected their lives to give back to the community and the town they love. you are holding a fundraiser? what's that about? >> we had two fundraisers of differing scales, so those are done. but to date we raised about 125,000 with a couple more pledges coming in. we believe there will be $40,000 more coming up to bring our total up to $160,000 to $170,000 towards the $1 million goal for boston medical center that will go toward thairt their emergency center, their capital campaign. bill: how does that make you feel? >> it feels great. there are so many communities i owe a great deal of gratitude for. that one is at the top of my list from the doctors and everybody there. without them i'm not in the position i'm in today.

so to be able to work with the great people will and to be able to give back to the hospital that keeps the city of boston running, a lot of the hospitals get a lot of publicity in boston, and this is one that kind of goes under the radar. to be able to give back to this hospital means a lot to me. it means a lot to my family. bill: cool stuff. do you think of the bombers? do you think of the tsarnaev brothers? >> from time to time. for whatever reason, my personality it doesn't get me worked up. so i will read the articles on the trials that are upcoming and not often, but if it's in the news i'll right. so i do think about it from time to time. it's hard not to when they are popping up everywhere. but it's not something that gets me tense or gets me worked up. it's just something that's there. bill: best of luck this monday.

we'll be up there in boston as well. jp, thank you. martha: inspiring story. here is another story that inspired many people. olympic champion michael phelps making a splash again in the headlines. is there a comeback for him in the making? we'll take a look. >> he was too young retire anyway. severe weather slamming millions. and that dreaded "s" word. that 4-letter word we have seen too much of in 2014. >> it keeps going up hour by hour.

martha: 22-time olympic medalist michael phelps is diving back into the competition. the swimmer announcing he's coming out of retirement. he's getting ready for a race that will hampton end of this month. what does this mean for the 2016 games? you have seen him win all of his olympic medals. of race, that's incredible. when you look back at this, some things fall to the background for most casual viewers. but when i look back at this. 22 olympic gold medals. double the number of mark spitz who was a great hero when i was a kid. each's the most decorated olympian of all time. karl lewis had 9 an was phenomenal in what he did over the course of time.

michael phelps legacy is set. he wants to come back. it won't add to his legacy. he's doing it because he loves it. we have seen the stories, he was a young guy when he retired, probably too young and he was out there having a good time and doing some swimming schools and play something golf. is he in shape? >> he has been working out the past 6 months with his long-time coach in baltimore. now he will do the short races. the 100-meter and 50-meter then he will go on to the immediatelies if he can decide this what is he wants to do and compete again. we have a long way between now and rio. martha: do you find it am not enough, when you have been to his level, to retire. is he coming back because he need that high, he need that

goal again? >> i think it's genuine love and the competition. i don't think anything replaces the competition. once you have been to the moon, what else compares in your life? he has been to the moon 18 times. i think he loves the competition. this is what he does. i remember when he told me he was retiring and i him in london after he completed what he thought was his last race. edsaid the only thing i have done in my life is look down at a black line and quite frankly i'm tired of it. i guess after a couple years he missed it. he's not coming back because he has to prove anything. martha: he's 29 years old. how does that compare to other athletes in his position. is he getting old for the sport? >> yes, but he's michael phelps. martha: the other folk out there, oh, great, michael phelps is coming back. >> you look at that picture,

there is not a single gray hair. 29 is old for swimming but he's a young man. martha: always a pleasure talking to you. martha: didn't know he was retired, huh, martha? the head of the irs work on new rule to the protect groups like the tea party. do they go far enough? martha: the trial of the surviving suspect in the boston marathon bombing. why the case of dzhokhar tsarnaev is not as cut and dried as you might think. i can cross even more places off my travel wish list. this year alone i hit new york... and texas! see, hotwire checks the competition's rates every day... so they can guarantee their low hotel prices. ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e ♪ hotwire.com

>> fox news alert, some new developments in the irs targeting scandal ahead of the irs talking about new rules to protect groups like the irs. will they go far enough? brand-new our starting now of "america's newsroom."

bill: the irs commissioner says his agency plans to issue a new version of the controversial rules that govern what political activities are allowed and not allowed for the so-called social welfare organizations. martha: a cohost of fox and friends weekend. good to see you. >> good morning, martha. thank you. martha: i started looking at it this morning. what caught my attention was this quote, we would likely repurpose a redefined rule and ask for more public comments. that is not government response. repurpose a redefined rule. >> this a man who has spent his life in public service. bureaucratic speak. it means they will change the existing rules, and that is not a surprise at all because they were unattainable. they would have prevented groups

from distributing information to the voters. providing non-profit groups registering voters to vote. that is a clear violation of a number of constitutional rights including freedom of speech. it is also that the the opposite of what the obama administration said they want to achieve. the president the other day giving a long self-righteous speech about how dark forces are preventing people from voting and registering to vote and hear his own administration would have been doing just that. martha: it is also interesting some of the liberal groups have voiced concerns about voter registration as you have pointed out. voter education. it strikes me as perhaps they are concerned now the changes of these rules might affect them because they were disproportionately unaffected by the way things were done in the past. >> right. for about a year they were not affected at all. pretty sketchy sounding groups

for example, the barack h obama foundation got tax-exempt status almost instantly. they are really the beneficiaries of the bias at the irs. some of these groups are thinking ahead and understand what goes around does in fact, round and it will affect them at some point. there are principles here worth defending. the right of people to register, help others register to vote or inform them about elections. the problem with these provisions from my perspective anyway is we are not sure exactly what went on at the irs a year after the scandal came to light. we are not certain extent of it, we are not certain why it happened, where the orders came from. half a dozen investigations of progress and they are not getting answers from the irs. why is that? martha: that raises the question until you iron out what happened, it makes it a little difficult to rewrite the rules until you know what went wrong, right?

>> it is a pretty effective organization. when something happens or something goes wrong they reverse engineer it. let's figure it out so doesn't happen again. that is why air travel is so safe. we look backward to find out why tragedies occurred. it is really unfortunate. bill: speaking of the irs, it is tax day. time to pay the man. uncle sam and it turns out a jump in tax rates kicked in causing big-time sticker shock for some americans. stuart varney with me now. so, i see 20% pay 90% of the taxes? >> you hear it all the time, tax the rich because they can afford it.

maybe surprised wealthier people pay for almost everything. 20%, the top 20% of income earners pay over 90% of all the federal income tax money. 20% pace 90% of the federal income taxes. imagine you're in a room with 100 people, pick out 20 of them and they will be paying for everything for the other 80. i have to tell you, it wasn't always like this. a generation ago the same top 20% of income earners paid 65% of all federal income taxes. today it is 90%, so tax the rich trend proceeds the pace, does it not? bill: you tax people because that is where the money is, but these tax changes occurred at the beginning of 2013, so this is the full tax year, the first

full tax or you had reflect on those changes. bill: it is not just the tax changes that went into effect of january last year. it is all the tax changes that have gone into effect over the past four, five, six years, that's what push the 20% to pay 90% of all federal income taxes. do you think that is fair? do you think it is fair that minority pays for everything for the vast majority? bill: you can make the fair argument when government goes too far one way, there is a boomerang effect that brings all of that back in the other direction. the question is when does that happen? do you see that happening? >> no, not in the near future. the proposal is for an extra trillion dollars over the next 10 years in tax revenue taken primarily from wealthier people.

it is not going to happen, but you still need to have the same 20% of top income earners paying 90% of all federal income taxes. bill: don't you have obamacare taxes popping up? what are they? >> taxes went up a year ago. now they aren't paying the higher taxes. there is an awful lot of people writing the checks today because of those obamacare taxes, which they are now paying. that increases that trend 20% pay 90% of all federal income taxes. bill: they are breaking even, right? >> you are right. bill: stuart varney from the fox business network. martha: utah woman accused of killing six of her newborn babies over 10 years. police say megan huntsman who was a good neighbor has now

admitted to these killings. telling investigators she strangled or suffocated the babies immediately after they were born and hid them in her garage. she's being held on $6 million bail, 1 million for each of the babies she's accused of killing. her next court date has been set for next monday. bill: a massive storm working its way, look at this, you can have thunderstorms and powerful wind and so many are waking up to snow on the ground. the same system with flooding in michigan, dumping 3 inches of snow in chicago and maria molina saw it coming a mile away. hello, maria. maria: what a mess. snow, flooding and even the risk for severe weather yet again today. yesterday close to 50 reported threats of severe weather including damaging wind, hail from texas into mississippi and

even louisiana, today it will be a little bit further off toward the east. southeastern georgia and north carolina with southeastern virginia. this area has a chance to see isolated tornadoes and even hail. as far as it goes across the northeast, it is going to be cold enough that you are going to see the rain in the form of snow, but accumulations will be relatively light, maybe heavier amounts especially in the higher elevations. that one could produce significant snowfall, but the threat for flooding is very real. heavy rain all the way down to florida as well. there are some watches in effect. bill: how often do you see snow in mid april? maria: not very often.

it has a little snow. hopefully you do not put away that coat just yet. bill: a lot of viewers are sending in pictures of the storm from ohio. that is cincinnati. they are buried. what are you seeing at home? we will share some of them with you later in th the show. maria: people forget it is sometimes called in april and may. martha: just be glad you are not in minnesota. attorney general eric holder cleaning up what he meant. he says racism had nothing to do with it, so what was he really talking about? bill: a daring and dramatic rescue.

holly group of hikers got in trouble and how they were able to get out. stay tuned for that. plus this. martha: one year since the boston marathon bombing. key questions on why tamerlan tsarnaev was not stopped when we come back. >> you think about the future for the race and the marathon. what is it for this year and for years to come. keep on running, boston, and they will.

bill: brand-new video of a cliff rescue. northern l.a., firefighters rescuing adult and several kids off the side of the cliff. they were hiking in the area when one of the kids were somehow struck in the head with a rock. we do not have word yet of the updated condition.

martha: as a nation marks one year now since the deadly boston marathon bombing's, many serious questions remain about the radicalization of tamerlan tsarnaev and the possible clues that were missed by the fbi and others. here's a look at what happened before the bomb. reporter: it was back in 2009 in cambridge, massachusetts, when tamerlan tsarnaev had his first run-in with the law. was arrested for domestic assault and battery. the charges were later dropped. this mug shot filed away. two years later the russians sent a foreboding letter to the fbi warning tsarnaev was trouble. >> when the russians are warning us specifically about a terrorist threat and somebody is going to leave the country and radicalize and come back, you need to take that seriously. martha: the fbi joint terrorism task force opened a formal assessment which landed tamerlan

in the first of several federal watch lists. >> they interviewed persons at the college where he was there for a period of time, ultimately interviewed the parents, interviewed tamerlan himself, sent information back to russia on three separate occasions. reporter: the fbi says russian never responded but months later russia send a second warning this time to the cia saying tsarnaev was medicating with radical suggestions. and then they did exactly what the russians warned. the name on four lists, he bought a ticket in 2011 and traveled to where lawmakers say he met with insurgents. after the second warning from russia, something known as a text alert was ramped up by tamerlan tsarnaev. if he were to try to leave his home and travel overseas, it was

mandatory he be stopped at the airport regardless of whether or not they can make a positive identification. he be turned over to the proper authorities immediately. none of this was shared with the boston police. >> before the bombing were you aware based on the russian intelligence that the fbi opened an investigation into tamerlan? >> we were not aware of that. >> would you like to have known about that? >> yes. reporter: one of the reasons tsarnaev was able to travel to russia and back was his name was spelled slightly differently in the database. customs and border patrol did not detain him on either leg of the journey. former cia director admits the system is not perfect. >> when i google his name it says if i spell it incorrectly fixes it and says are you looking for tamerlan tsarnaev? >> shame on us we don't have something as good as google.

reporter: they believe that spelling error was a fatal mistake. >> when he came back, he came back a very different person. when you look at his youtube website and postings, they are very radicalized. all sorts of jihadist material. a situation where if we would coordinate a statement with police, which was not done in this case, and the local police know the streets better than anybody, and maybe could have stop this from happening. >> if you were to design a case study that would be just the prototypical thing, this would be it. anybody working counterterrorism who is not aware of that is just not paying attention. martha: he did not work on the marathon bombing case, but he called the fbi. >> they do the minimum necessary to then be able to say i didn't find anything, so i am done. in most cases it goes into a file and probably turns out

there was something there. unfortunately a certain number of cases it turns out we blew yet another opportunity to stop it. reporter: as the nsa controversy boils over privacy, why isn't anybody monitoring tsarnaev cell phone and activity? >> that is fundamentally what you are saying. >> isn't that what we have been asked to accept now? if we are searching there is an internet we are not supposed to be searching, especially if we have been flagged by russian intelligence twice, two investigations have been done, at that point is it not exactly what we want these organizations to be able to follow up on? >> sure, i guess, until they do, and then it is the accusation reading everybody's e-mail reading over my shoulder while i am on the internet.

reporter: he drew attention at this cambridge mosque twice he lashed out at the sermon for being too western. >> debilitating they know they were investigating one of your members and did the ask do you have anything to add? >> no. the fbi never came to us. >> despite the fact investigation into tamerlan ended 18 months before the blast went off at the finish line, when the video surfaced the two men, the fbi had no idea who they were. information from his past was not utilized. and then this. [explosions] >> somebody out there knows his individuals. friends, neighbors, coworkers or individuals of the suspects. reporter: the fbi declined a request for an interview. >> have to step back and

understand in a country as large and as complex and welcoming as ours with political culture deeply respects free speech and privacy from time to time in the best of circumstances with everyone doing everything right, some bad things are going to happen. that's just the way it is. reporter: and bad things did happen. congressman keating fears if we don't look closely, it will be at our own peril. >> it is a concern for all americans because this could have been anywhere. at any time, at any place. martha: it is not a finger-pointing exercise, but as charles says, it is a case study in domestic radicalization. where we need to be watching along the way and how to connect these dots that have not been connected is essentially since september 11. bill: a great report and it shows so many things either

prior to the bombing or since then. martha: they are working on the police connection and making that stronger. bill: great story, martha. martha: i look forward to more coverage as we move forward this monday at 9:00 a.m. eastern, "america's newsroom" will be live at the boston marathon. thousands of runners redefining the meaning of boston strong and we will be reporting live through all of that, we look forward to that. bill: whereabouts to find out in boston on monday. in the meantime, tax day is here. obamacare is front and center for many of you. who is getting hit the hardest and what it means for all of us going forward. martha: mother nature putting on quite a show for stargazers last night. the blood moon was out in full. bill: yes. ♪

bill: check the calendar, america, it is that day. obamacare is a big day for many americans. who will feel the effects of this law the most? >> the president has often said if you work hard and play by the rules he can do well enough to raise a family, own a home, send the kids to college and put away money for retirement, but it is precisely those in the middle to higher income levels who are living in expensive cities and expensive suburbs who are really sweating bullets today. obamacare has increased or

imposed 20 new taxes totaling $500 billion over the next 10 years. there is a new medicare tax increase for individuals earning over $200,000 for married couples over $250,000. and in net investment tax, 3.8% tax for individuals, states and about 200,000, 250 for joint powers. there is a new 3.8% surtax on net investment income, capital gains are taxed at a top rate of 23.8%. those who designed obamacare say they had really one principle in mind for these kind of taxes. >> the taxes were designed to slow health care cost growth to reduce the federal deficit and pay for spending for things like tax credits for middle-class families so it would make health insurance more affordable to seniors to pay for the prescription drugs and increase the life of the medicare trust fund.

>> it is unclear if any of those goals will actually be met. bill: there are a number of obamacare taxes on businesses as well. how are they doing with that, doug? >> they're facing the taxes relative to the premiums they collect. >> the tax insurance companies when you tax medical devices, when you tax insurance plans to individuals, all of this added to those who provide them, raising the cost of health care. there is nothing in obamacare to drop the cost of insurance. >> so what does the obamacare tax burden for you? if you make under $15,000 come about $59. 50,000-$100,000 it is about $6000.

upward, $38,000 plus. if you would like to know more about how you are impacted, go to foxnews.com, you can kiss the new car goodbye. bill: thank you, doug. in washington. martha: the battle of religion is playing out in schools across the country. why catholics are the latest to complain about common core standards, and what they say they mean to their base. bill: eric holder sparking controversy about a week ago. some say he was suggesting raises a factor how he has been treated in washington. now he says that is not what he was talking about at all. we will play it for you. fair and balanced next. >> what had to deal with that kind of treatment? what president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? ♪

bill: eric holder returning to the backlash caused by comments for him and present obama been treated in washington. here's what he said last week during a speech in your the. >> it had nothing to do with me. what attorney general has ever had to deal with this kind of treatment? what president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? bill: there was a lot of reaction to that comment.

here is what he says to "the huffington post" about it all. i was very careful not to say there was a racial component. what we have seen is kind of a breakdown in civility in washington, d.c. what about that? radio host on sirius xm as well as a fox news contributor. good morning to both of you. some quick answers on this, before the comment from "the huffington post" or to "the huffington post," did you think eric holder was talking about racism? >> clearly in his inference he was talking about racism and using it. bill: no doubt in your mind? >> no doubt in my mind. bill: richard? >> he said pretty clearly take me out of this, take me as a person, take me as a black man, take me out of it. that speaks to what he said in "the huffington post."

bill: are you muddy on this answer? >> i think we are unclear. only eric holder knows. bill: david, what do you think now that we have a more complete picture from last week and again from "the huffington post"? >> a larger narrative of what democrats are trying to paint republicans. nancy pelosi making comments about immigration saying accept it. steve israel saying his colleagues in the answer are racist, or members of the republican party are excited, animated by racism. checking the boxes in the texas speech talking about younger, more unmarried women, voters have this congenital disease in midterm elections we don't vote at the same rate as married and white people.

somebody to run away from along the lines, and then we have to defend the negative. i am on the offense in this. bill: do you see a pattern here? >> not at all. what we heard from attorney eric holder, they need to vote, and we need more stability in washington. we should be able to come to the table and deal with the problems the country faces with immigration, whether it be jobs, tax reforms. bill: here is david referred to this from last week. listen. >> i think it is something to do with the fact they are not ringing up the immigration bill. i have heard them say this will be easy.

bill: the irish. on sunday, not all of them responding to the question about race in the republican party, but a significant republican base has elements that are animated by racism and that is unfortunate. do you see a pattern there? >> elements that have racism, i think we should be fighting forward on how we make sure america works whether you are black, yellow, red, purple, green. all the colors of the rainbow. that is what they are fighting for. >> richard, you have been in the business of deflecting and defending bigoted statements. you are out there with the democrats. let me finish. while you do put it in clear comments, my question is name your colleagues in congress who

are racist, and to nancy pelosi, name the people who say to the irish members if it with you, we get it done. >> here we go, immigration is not about amnesty. bill: i need a last comment, we have breaking news, five seconds. >> immigration is not about racism. we are fighting forward on that. bill: thank you. we have some breaking news. martha: wants to take you to this scene we are watching unfold, california high school that is being evacuated. some video from earlier. we don't know what the situation is. they were evacuated play football field, we don't know the reason of the evacuation at this point. you can see some movement as we look outside on this aerial

shots, but no clear picture of what is causing evacuation to the football field. you can see some students gathered on the left-hand side of the football field. this is in california, alhambra, california. you hope everybody is safe. it could be a number of things that are possibilities. we will keep a close eye on a situation, 7:38 on the ground. a couple of police cars and an ambulance and fire engine at the ready. outside the school. we will look for more information on that, give it to you as soon as we can. bill: back to that in a moment. remember when police cornered dzhokhar tsarnaev in the boat? the evidence prosecutors say they have against the suspect and why the case may not be as cut and dry as you might think. >> there is a person in the

boat! we have a person in the boat trying to poke a hole through the boat! vo: once upon a time there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where castles were houses and valiant knights stood watch for the kingdom was vast and monsters lurked in the deep and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real

avo: all of great britain, all in one place book on expedia before april 30th and save up to thirty percent.

bill: back to southern california, we are seeing these students evacuated from the school out to the football field. we don't know why. there is one report on the ground that suggests a gas leak may be at work, it looks like an otherwise beautiful day in southern california. we are working our sources to find out what the story years and once we can figure that out, we will bring it back to you. there you get a look at the students. the football field and track. back to california in a moment. martha: back to the boston marathon bombing set happened one year ago today and sparked a

frantic, legendary now manhunt and it came to a dramatic conclusion four days after the attack. >> we have the boat surrounded by all corners. martha: unbelievable to see the image under the boat. there he is as he is starting to emerge from the boat. found by the man who lived there. as he saw blood on the side of that boat. a trove of evidence ready to use against dzhokhar tsarnaev, but a lot of questions that still remain. director of the center for terrorism law, and a criminal defense attorney. welcome to both of you. let's get started with you,

jeffrey. to take a look at this case because according to the evidence, it appears they may be able to put the death of the 29-year-old on him because they believed she was killed by the second bomb they believe was placed by him, right? >> that is right. he is responsible for all three murders and the 253 people murdered on the doctrine of conspiracy and the fact he was working hand in hand with his brother, so there won't be a distinction there. there won't be an issue if this person is found guilty or not, that is not the real precedents of this case. martha: it sounds to me they're mobilizing a team to get him out of the death penalty essentially. obviously there is so much evidence against him in this case. >> this case is all about saving his life at every stage of the case they are going to try to humanize him, make the jury

believe he has some redeeming value, some way to save his life. martha: all of this will come out in the trial, he scrawled a message in blood essentially on the inside of the boat that talked about the war in iraq and afghanistan, all of this was to punish people because of that, right, jeffrey? >> and he wrote about radical islamic extremism. that will be brought before the trial. photographs of him again as a colleague indicated, a question about the death penalty and the defense counsel will use every tactic in the boat to delay the case, get the government to make a misstep so they can appeal, hope to get some sort of relief in terms of sentencing. martha: is there mitigation? you both have looked at this case very closely because as you go back to the lives of tamerlan tsarnaev, it appears he is more likely the instigator, it was

his radicalization and perhaps his mother played a role in that as well that led to bringing in his younger brother. >> yes, i can't predict how defense counsel will proceed in this case, but it may well be they had a very normal type of kid who may have had some difficulty adjusting to life in the united states, who was under the thumb of his older brother, who he may have looked up to all of his life, there may be some cultural issues there. you mentioned perhaps some family pressures there. all of which may have led him to the police that he held on that day. so i can't say they're going to use what one might call a brainwashing defense, but they really have to do something to explain how he got from where he was to what he became that day.

martha: maybe you can pick up the other end of that, he is in a prison hospital where he had been recovering from his injuries last year. he is pretty much recovered from those, but are we looking at potentially an insanity defense here? >> they will raise every issue they possibly can, martha, as they did in texas, the defense wants the trial to start in 2015, the judge will start in november. we can expect all these issues, and i expect this individual to use this as a platform to promote radical extremism as we have seen dozens and dozens of cases, similar cases people plotted to engage in these kind of extremist activities across the united states, so it could turn into a circus. martha: think how essential it is he lived to unravel what is happening here, everybody will be watching this so closely to hear how he describes his relationship with his brother and how this all came about.

>> we don't know that we will hear from him. we don't know what his mindset is today, so it may turn into a radical islamist trial. but if he wants, that is probably what is going to get. if he wants to use this trial as a platform for his radicalized views, that he's going to get the death penalty. there is nothing that this team can do, try as they might, to protect him from that. martha: jeffrey and julian, thank you very much for being here. in november the trial will get underway. bill: here now with a preview, jenna lee. jenna: we will continue what he reported on, taking note of an important milestone today, boston marathon terror attack was one year ago. surmise beginning at noon. also, new evidence the g.o.p. taking control of the senate.

we will talk about that, and it is tax day today. a giant ripoff of the u.s. government and have some fun facts for tax day. bill: there are some? jenna: i know, it sounds weird when you say it out loud. but i will deliver, i promise be at bill.bill: all of the techien up. google glass is on sale today. what can a pair of these do for you? until you're sure you do. bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is why i put the hotels.com mobile app on my mobile phone. anyone need a coupon? i don't.

martha: stargazers getting quite a show early this morning the so-called blood moon appearing in all its splendor. a total lunar eclipse. you can see the next on october 8, it will be beautiful in the fall too. bill: apparently it was cloudy. so we saved ourselves a little bit. silicon valley offers plenty of premiums of food and rides to work and yoga classes, now the irs is looking at whether or not this perk should be taxed. fresh off the morning yoga class joining us this morning. this is more than just silicon valley, is it not, adam? >> yoga a big thing in california. and it is more than just silicon valley. they are doing what they could to get the best workers in with perks.

shuttle service, food, it is spreading into other industries as well because companies want to give perks to get people in the door to do the good work. that food is the most impressive thing a lot of the companies are offering. amazing meals, all free. they feed the staff to take outspread and startups reedit >> they win because they are happier, our customers get a higher quality product and shareholders see the momentum in the market. >> th for yoga class is great, n we were in southern california the free shuttle service would be just splendid, wouldn't it? bill: and a few other things. what can the tax man do? >> that is a good question. we contacted the irs, they do not want to comment on it.

we asked for a comment in regards to this but it is well spoken they would potentially go after this. they say they are considering free yoga, free services, free haircuts for example are really fringe benefits which workers should be taxed. changing everything when it comes to it essentially the companies using that to get people in the door. take a listen. >> employers are able to provide food when employees are on call in emergency situations. the question is do tech companies fall into this category? >> if they do fonts that category, they would report the taxable income but giving a larger salary to cover that, so it would be a wash. a lot of ways the silicon valley companies got people in the door, some of the better workers spreading to others around the country as the battle for the worker gets people in the door.

it would be nice to have a cool cafeteria, wouldn't it? bill: and free yoga if you are into that. talk to you later. martha: our coverage continues of the boston marathon bombing's one year later. straight ahead, we will go back to boston as the city begins to remember the victims and on of the survivors. @e@8ñúñ÷@@@0

bill: earlier today we were talking to the folks in the midwest. if you have a picture of the good stuff out there sent it our way. one viewer tweeted back from florida. this is grand haven, michigan, this is the picture they sent. can't wait to get back to florida. martha: everyone is ready for the warm spring weather. we had a taste of it and now we're going back the other way. it is coming around the corner, i promise. bill: eventually. see you tomorrow. jenna: thank you, bill, martha, we start out with a

fox news alert. we're awaiting a memorial for the victims of the boston marathon bombing. vice president joe biden, massachusetts governor deval patrick and other boss tin officials are set to attend. one year ago the bombs went off near the finish line at this iconic american race, killing three people and wounding more than 200 others. an mit officer was killed days later during a shootout with one of the suspects. at today's tribute there will be first-responders. and we saw so much heroism. we'll have the opportunity to celebrate that that memorial will begin in an a hour and we'll bring it to you live. jenna: we start out today with a tense confrontation in the murder trial of oscar pistorius. hello, i hope you're off to a great tuesday. >> i'm eric shawn in for jon scott. jenna: good to have you
