3:00 am
let us keep prayerful silence for some brief moments. >> silence in st. peter's square
3:01 am
as this vast crowd of 500,000 people pray their thanks to god for allowing us to the gift of john paul ii and john xxiii. and we go back for a moment with you together pope francis for reflections during the brief powerful homily. you are the scholar and expert in your greek and latin simple. from a layperson's perspective, one of the things that struck me was the use of that very be, to touch. he uses it three times at the beginning. he uses it as a reference to thomas but then also uses it in reference to john xxiii and pope john paul ii. there's not a fate to touch the wounds of christ, this very tactile approach that france has in the way we see him deal with the sick or disabled people,
3:02 am
unafraid to touch those wounds. [ speaking foreign language ] >> amen. >> we'll come back to that in a moment, if you don't mind. at this point, the celebration, are awaiting the final voice. [ speaking foreign language ] >> this is pope francis praying the regina in a few moments, but before he expresses his gratitude before saying we convene this feast of thanks, he would like to thank all those
3:03 am
present. he thanks the priests from every part of the world. and says he's grateful to the official delegation from so many countries who have come to bring homage to the popes who contributed in indelible ways the to the cause of the development of people and peace. i especially think of the italian authorities, he says, and thank them for their precious collaboration. the pope says he greets with greater sanction the pilgrims from the diocese, may you continue to honor the memory of the two holy popes and thankfully follow their teachings. i'm gritful also, says pope
3:04 am
francis, to all those with such generosity have prepared these memorable days, the archdiocese of rome with cardinal bellini, the armed forces of italy, various organizations and the numerous volunteer associations. thank you, all. also to the pilgrims in st. peter's square and around the city of rome. he also agrees that all of you who join us by radio and television. pope francis thanks the media professionals who through their work have allowed so many people to participate in this celebration. i send a special greeting to the sick and to the aged, those to

>> pope francis just embraced his predecessor there. another embrace, another warm embrace. i can only imagine what they said to each other. >> we'd love to know. >> we both gave you these saints as the church. he heads to the altar now, and according to script, although we are not sure pope francis follows the script very well, he spoke to the greek delegations where they are. normally they would meet him because of the confession, but because of the human number today, it's better he would do this greeting outside. as we mentioned, 93 government delegations. 26 heads of state. and then the full series of heads of governments, parliaments, the queen and king of spain, the members of royalty here, catholics, christians, non-christians, muslim leaders, a large jewish delegation. we forgot to mention that in the beginning. here again, we see this view that extends all the way down to
3:11 am
the bridge of angels passed the second bridge. and jason piatsa, thousands of people just standing for this celebration. you've been doing this for a long time, shawn, a couple years before me. what does this mean to you to see this and to do all this today? >> i was so glad you were with me this morning, father tom, i'm not sure i would have been able to do it on my own because i'm irish, my background, as you know, and the irish, we get moved very quickly and easily. it doesn't take a lot. and to see, to be here, to experience this, having lived through the john paul ii, having done the radio commentary from this very same booth in 1978, covered his funeral, his election and
3:12 am
experienced so much to be here and to hear him proclaimed saint of the catholic church is enormously important to me. >> several friends of mine and several of the young adults who worked with me on the staff center mails throughout the day and through the night last night saying, father tom, we worked with saints, he actually saw him and touched him and helped move him on the moving flplatform th was in toronto. for the cannonization for john paul ii, millions saw him and touched him. how many would have a photograph of him in their house? whether it be the general audience or one of the masses? this is somebody who was well-known. and somebody whose memory is still very, very fresh in people's minds and hearts. >> growing up, saints were on holy cards. >> that's right. >> and there were people who lived hundreds of years ago. you have nothing in common with them.
3:13 am
again, if we just go back to that verb touch, so many people are listening to this broadcast and participated in this mass this morning would have physically touched john paul ii. so yes, that tangible sense of what is it like to touch holiness. >> the mediterranean cultures and the latino cultures are very much a part of my life, and they are very big into touching things, kissing things. the other day i celebrated mass at john xxiii's altar and there was a lineup of people touching that foot, which is -- i don't know how many times they change the foot, but it was worn down. the bronze or whatever material it is, touching and then going to the cross and touching it, kissing it. good friday, you can tell the audience, you have people coming to church, not necessarily by looking at them, but how they reference the cross. there are those that simply bow, but those with hot blood, if you will, warm blood will take that and kiss it and touch it.
3:14 am
and pope francis is a perfect example. all you have to do is watch him as the audience touches him with propensity for the sick. this voice we hear is an interesting young argentinian singer, very famous, and he's singing a poem from john paul ii from hope and peace. and the singer is an ambassador of justice and peace throughout the world. i spoke about him the other day at the press conference, so i can imagine south americans must be over the moon listening to this beautiful voice. >> it's a great festive atmosphere. >> let's listen to it for a moment, then. ♪
3:15 am
♪ ♪ let's just look back over this very beautiful celebration. two new things, two holy things, to pope saints. i believe that there are 80 pope
3:16 am
that is have been canonized in the history of the church, and these two new ones are added to that number. how many saints are there altogether? about 10,000 saints all together. many of them from the early church publicly acclaimed. it was their own moment in their day and age, people acclaimed them because of their lives of holiness. and the first millenium, the cult was of martyrs, the worship was of the martyrs and confessors of the saints. then in the 11th century, the whole new principle started about the roman pontiff as being the only one who can proclaim someone a saint. in other words, it came back as a responsibility to the pope who would study the cases and proclaim the saints. in the 14th century, the holy sea began to authorize a limited cult, if you will, in determined places of servants of god and the blessed. we see a slow development of this process that we now have to
3:17 am
date fully developed before us. >> you're watching "fox and friends" on this sunday morning. it's sunday afternoon in the vatican city. you're watching a historic ceremony this morning, the roman catholics across the world celebrating two new saints this morning. pope francis canonized, pope john xxiii and pope john paul ii. amy is live there with more on the ceremony, good afternoon, amy. >> reporter: hi tucker and clayton. probably the visual highlight of the ceremony was the embrace that pope francis gave to pope ameridas, pope benedict xvi. it is very rare to see him in public, and it was as many people commented, a strong show of unity. it was a very tender moment. and also there's been a lot of talk about unity in this ceremony, generally, even before it took place that two very different popes, one liberal and
3:18 am
one conservative, were canonized at the same time, but you could argue that john xxiii opened up the church with the vatican to counsel and john paul ii brought it to the people. now the formula, the words that were read out today, were standard. pope francis said we declare and define blessed john xxiii and john paul ii be safe and we enroll them among the saints decreeing they are to be such by the whole church. now it's hard to give you a sense of -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> that's a historic event you're watching it live on the screen there. hundreds of thousands of people gathering in vatican city to celebrate the cannonization of two popes by the current pope. we are grateful to have lauren
3:19 am
greene here. >> good morning. amy kellogg is in rome doing a wonderful job and said something about we cannot forget, this is one of the most historic events of all time. i cannot stress that enough. never before will you see this happen again. this will be -- this will go down as the history of the day of four popes. phone francis, pope benedict honoring john paul ii and john xxiii. because the presence of those two popes are there because of the relics, the blood of john paul and i'm not sure what is the relic of john xxiii, but four popes are present. this is something that will never, ever happen again. and because of the length that draws these four popes together. not only was john paul ii a link to vatican ii, but pope benedict was a young theologian. so john paul ii and pope benedict -- >> what is a relic? >> the relic is part of the
3:20 am
actual person. it can be a bone fragment, it can a blood vile, which you saw there up on the altar there, a blood vile of the blood of john paul ii. in fact, john paul ii's shrine in washington, d.c. they also have a vile of his blood. they also have a blood-stain ed blood-stained -- from the attempt on his life. >> this ceremony is bringing two arms of the catholic church together, conservatives and liberals. what is meant by that? >> i don't know if we can pull the liberal/conservative view of catholic church as we can in politics. the catholic church is not a political organization, although for simplicity sake, yes, we can kind of say that we are pulling two branches of the catholic church together because john paul would have been, i guess, considered more of the liberal end or the conservative. and i don't know which it is, because when you look at john
3:21 am
xxiii history, why he bought vatican ii is because he thought the church needed to bend with the times or it would break. that's what he calls the vat kin ii and made changes. john paul ii created the scenario by which he brought it out to the world. and with the help of pope benedict. so these kinds of liberal conservative kind of labels really don't work that much, but what you see is a punctuation mark today because pope francis became a priest pretty much after vatican ii. he represents the generation that will carry vatican ii or the legacy of it into the future. that's why he wanted to bring the two popes together as bookends of the beginning and part of vat kican ii. >> go through the canonization process. is it odd to have this so quickly of pope john paul ii? >> absolutely.
3:22 am
>> usually it is hundreds of years in some cases, right? >> there's like a five-year waiting period for bringing the -- for starting the process. you can't even bring the cause of canonization until five years. pope benedict waived that, so quickly this was a first miracle. that is the case of a french nun cured of parkinson's praying to pope john paul ii. the second miracle happened on the day of his beatification, it was a costa rican woman cured of a brain aneurysm miraculously. so that's the second miracle for john paul ii. in the case of john xxiii, there's really only one verifiable miracle that has been documented. this is the case of a woman who was cured of a gastric ulcer. because john xxiii died of stomach cancer, so there's the same kind of miracle that he cured someone or his intercessry
3:23 am
is attributed to for curing. >> the second miracle for john xxiii is really kind of the controversy that there is no second miracle. pope francis declared him a saint without the second miracle because his whole life was a testament of miracles. so that's why he declared him a saint. >> so what are we watching here? a procession of dignitaries, who are they? >> they are the king and queen of spain, a whole host of dignitaries from catholic countries. of course, you've got spain and i'm sure there are representatives of every country, even if they don't go down as catholic countries, probably some of the dignitaries from southern germany, which would be very catholic. you've also got parts of england, ireland, all of those countries. of course, latin america. the gentleman standing behind pope francis is archbishop
3:24 am
gainsfind. he was the assistant to pope benedict as well and elevated to archbishop. now he's the assistant to pope francis, and so when you see pope francis at a public event, you'll see archbishop gainsfind. if you see pope benedict at an event, which i did in january, archbishop gainsfind is there. he's the go-between. once you know him, you know both popes. >> this ceremony got started at 10:00 local time and lasted two hours there. pope francis is going down and doing what he's doing, shaking every day people's hands. when he became pope, wearing the wooden cross. what sticks out to you in the ceremony today as you've been watching the last couple hours? >> what sticks out to me is how formal it is. pope francis is keeping this warm right now. i don't think we'll see him do any selfies today.
3:25 am
i don't think that's part of the program. but i do think you'll see, what you won't see, and this is part of being there, the thousands upon thousands of pill glgrims have come in to be there in one of the most spiritual events you'll ever encounter. this is such a momentous occasion to know that a saint has been declared in john paul ii. someone that many people here in new york and all over the world can say that i knew him, he blessed me, he touched me, and now he's a saint. that's amazing. >> what happens next after this ceremony and for the process of canonization? it's declared and that's it? >> well, a lot of things will be changed in the catholic churches around the country. one of the main things to happen today, the national shrine was called the blessed john paul ii shrine. now it will be called the saint
3:26 am
john paul iishrine. there will be days on the church calendar attributed to john paul ii as a saint. you have church organizations and events declared in his honor. many more people will pray to him knowing he's a saint in the catholic church. there are a lot of more spiritual things that will happen because he's a saint, but as many people shouted on the day of his death, they felt he was a saint then. the process of canonizing a saint is not that they make him a saint but recognizing god has declared him holy and pious and worthy. santo subidos means that the crowd erupted in unison.
3:27 am
they felt that this man, his life of travel and pilgrimage and charisma and holiness was just so incredible that they have never seen before. think about this, it's a modern saint. this is a saint that he was in central part. he probably touched the hands of police officers and many babies who are probably in their 30s and 40s right now. >> pope john xxiii and pope john paul ii canonized. >> more "fox and friends" as we leave you live from vatican city and we are live in new york. ♪ [ female announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms.

great-grandchildren. she was 99 years old. >> that is amazing. let's check in with rick reichmuth standing by outside with a forecast. >> a big day in weather today. a lot going on across the central plains. we'll show you what's going on. temps as you're making up very warm across the plains and that's part of the problem. 71 in kansas city, 74 in dallas. the heat is in place. across the east, you're fine. you can see a severe thunderstorm watch box across parts of oklahoma. storms will not turn tornadic until later on this afternoon, or at least say midday. and then throughout much of the afternoon we stand a chance to see potentially some very significant tornadoes. you'll also notice how cold it is by the white you're seeing across parts of colorado. very big pocket of cold air bringing some snow in across the higher elevations out across parts of the west. here's where we have the threat for severe weather today. anywhere you see the red, that's the highest threat for
3:37 am
tornadoes. and a couple tornadoes we see today potentially could be large and long-lived. so long-lasting tornadoes. then as we move in towards the day tomorrow, it pulls a little off to the east, at least the southern end of that does. so from vicksburg, mississippi, up to nashville, birmingham, tuscaloosa, tupelo, all the areas looking at the threat of large tornadoes tomorrow. then go into the day on tuesday, we're still dealing with this down across areas of the south. the one thing we'll watch in addition to the severe weather is very heavy rain and potentially widespread flooding. all right, much more on that coming up. anna, sending to you inside. 37 minutes after the hour on this sunday morning. hillary clinton sr. is coming under scrutiny. here's what happened when a department spokesperson was asked to list one achievement from a initiative launched under clinton's watch. >> can you off the top of your head identify one tangible

achievement that was resulted from the last qvr? >> i'm certain that those were here on the effort could point out one. >> but since you have come on board, you have noticed that, have you noticed that you can point back saying, wow, the first qvdr identified this as a problem and dealt with it? >> as you know, i've only been here as concluded. i'm sure there are ranges put into place that i'm not aware of. >> i won't hold my breath. >> so will moments like this come back to haunt hillary clinton? if she does decide to run in 2016? joining us is allison howard, communications director for concerned women for america, which is a public policy women's organization. and chris cofinni, the former chief of staff to west virginia senator joe manchin. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> all right, joe, i'll start with you, when you hear something like this and you also know that polling recently suggests that the fact that hillary clinton is a woman in
3:39 am
politics and her being first lady is one of her biggest credentials, what do you think her biggest achievement was? chris, you can go ahead and take that. >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear that question, i'm sorry. >> what do you think her biggest achievement was? would she simply be another candidate that would be a hollywood celebrity-type candidate like barack obama? >> yeah, i mean, i really don't think that's a concern either amongst democrats or most people watching if she decides to run. listen, i think you can look at it in terms of two ways of her tenure as secretary of state. in terms of the bigger accomplishments to transition the united states out of iraq and afghanistan, both significant things. she was an integral part of going after bin laden, also a significant thing. she helped move our strategic focus more toward asia. if you want to get microdetailed
3:40 am
about it, you can talk about the turkish/romanian accords, but the notion of the significant middle east peace deal under her watch, well, here's the reality, that hasn't happened under any secretary of state's watch. so i think part of this criticism is kind of silly, to be honest. >> allison, when you hear even clinton being asked what her biggest achievement being at a women's conference here in new york city earlier this month said it was passing the baton, what do you make of that? >> well, some would say let's give jen a break here, not many women can talk about her accomplishment as time here m. are saying the first lady and time as a strong woman in a political position is her most important credential. i appreciate our guests coming on and telling a line, but it's
3:41 am
been a few days and this has been well documented and people have failed to bring up some of these positive things we should be associated with hillary. she has a huge problem on benghazi and scandals. i know it's easy to lose track of them here in washington, d.c., but as the head of the tip office dedicated to abolishing sex trafficking worldwide, which she's the head of, we are now having inspector general members come out that in her own security detail, there are security officials engaging in prostitution globally, specifically on our trips to columbia and russia. that's a problem. you can't champion womens' rights and come back as you said to position yourself in a place of authority and not let into account what's going on with your own home under your own nose. >> it's severity when it comes under the jurisdiction of secretary of state there. >> actually, to be honest, i
3:42 am
don't think there's any irony. i don't think you can blame the secretary of state for the terrible decisions and actions of some of her employees, especially considering how large the state department is, but nonetheless, go ahead. >> but some would say that it was swept under the rug and just go-ahead and move on rather than have a significant punishment and public display, chris. >> well, if you want to talk about specifically about benghazi, i think secretary clinton or former secretary clinton has been very directive about the fact she's taken responsibility for what happened there. there are a lot of mistakes. and so i'm not sure -- i'm not sure what else people want her to do, but the reality is when someone takes responsibility for the events that happened on her watch, that is, i think, exactly what you need to do when mistakes happen. so this is kind of, again, a silly criticism that somehow her watch should have been perfect and on top of that should have
3:43 am
achieved middle east peace. she's an incredibly accomplished woman. >> it's a blunder when four americans lose their lives. >> there's no question. >> i apologize, that's all the time we have. we have to leave it there. appreciate your time this morning. >> no problem. 42 minutes after the hour, you think you can tell if someone is lying? you may be looking for the wrong signs. how to be a human lie detector ahead. and a pair of squaders moved into his house and wouldn't leave. and you would not believe just how often this actually happens. it's legal. we'll explain, coming up. my fe end of thday.

there's an $1100 water bill that was left. and apparently was shut off, which is why they didn't have running water in the house. but that is the big picture in florida is this isn't a crime. >> and this is still continuing to happen, right? >> in florida as a whole, yes. >> unbelievable. you go off and serve your country and have to deal with people stealing your house while away and serving your country. what can people do to help out other veterans like this across the country and in florida, specifically? >> specifically in florida, right now we actually were contacted by another family after the publicity started. and we have put them in touch with an attorney who is working to help them. their situation isn't quite as severe, fortunately, but across the nation, i will tell you that the second couple that contacted us even had a property manager. a legal organization, a company that was supposed to represent them and take care of their property. that doesn't necessarily work.
3:51 am
we are now trying to get the law changed to make it a crime in florida. >> hopefully you can do that. lauren, we appreciate you here this morning and keep on in the good fight down there. >> thank you for having us. >> more "fox and friends" in two minutes. cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people. we are volvo of sweden.

3:55 am
american for freedom chapter. john, thank you for joining us this morning. >> it's an honor to be here. >> your shirt saying i love fossil fuels. why do you love fossil fuels? >> i love them for a lot of reasons, they have been in the ground for millions of years. they provide for 80% of energy in this country and now save lives. we now live in the environment cleaner and safer than it's ever been. we live in this great environment where individuals can power their homes, heat their homes, drive their cars and have all these new technologies that really benefit them. and it's all thanks to oil, coal and natural gas. it's wonderful we have these capabilities in this country. >> no energy, no civilization. that seems like a pretty non-commercial position, yet the response you got was outrage, no? >> yeah, i wore the shirt to school on earth day showing my support. and i tweeted pictures and whatnot. actually, tiff shirt right here.
3:56 am
i love fossil fuels from alex epstein at the center for industrial progress. so i wore the shirt and got looks from people and had some comments made, but then later on twitter we had individuals that just were not happy with me. they tweeted things like, i was too rich to care and too white to know, claiming that i was maybe ignorant. and it wasn't a good situation. and then from that a firestorm of negative tweets like filtered in all across social media. so, yeah, it was pretty bad. >> so they went right after your race, of course. so very quickly, your school, i'm sure, is against bullying. all schools are. the latest fad, did they swoop in to protect you? >> they did not. what's interesting is that the lefts, they always claim they are so tolerant and accepting of other views, but when somebody disagrees with them, they don't seem to care that much. they seem to attack and be intolerant. it's interesting how the dynamic
3:57 am
works. >> i'm chuckling because you are learning deep lessons at a young age, good luck. thank you, john, for coming on. >> thank you so much. the owner of the los angeles clippers caught making pretty over-t over-the-top racial remarks, so why was he about to receive an award? we'll tell you, coming up. in front of our house again. it's a free country dad. our house. our spot. those are the rules. ok who wants sweet rolls? i do! me too! are those king's hawaiian rolls?

hey, everybody, good morning. it is sunday morning, the 27th, of april, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. you're looking live at pope francis in vatican city where for the first time two popes elevated to sainthood on the same day. we are live there taking you inside every moment of this historic day for catholics around the world. and they died waiting for care from the country they served. what took so long to blow the whistle? >> good, he's a whistleblower, but i kind of want to put my foot up his backside, because why didn't he say something like
4:01 am
this for the last 15 to 20 years? he's been working for the v.a. for the last 24 years. in a firestorm this morning, after the owner of the los angeles clippers was caught saying this on tape. >> this bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associated with black people. >> a big problem for the civil rights group, the naacp. why? because they were just about to give him a lifetime achievement award, despite a number of lawsuits previously. "fox and friends" begins right now. >> well, good morning, and welcome to "fox and friends." the final sunday in april. anna kooiman. >> the gang is all back together. >> good morning, guys. it's a beautiful spring. we'll get a look at the forecast with rick reichmuth standing by,
4:02 am
but first to vat cap city. >> roman catholics around the world celebrating two new saints this morning. pope francis cannonized pope john xxiii and pope john paul ii in a historic ceremony. amy kellogg is live in rome where it's the afternoon and has the latest. what's going on, amy? >> reporter: i don't think we have as nice of a spring day as you, unfortunately, but there are big events in the vatican with the skies opening up and being windy. but so much has been made about the historic significance with the cannonization of two popes, but it's important to talk about the president and pope francis right now is spinning around st. peter's square in his pope mobile. he was appropriately somber, serious, pious, during the two-hour mass this morning for the canonization, but now he's lit up in a typical way he has when out with people, shaking their hands and interacting with them. that really is what has drawn so
4:03 am
many people out today as well. and there are lots of young people, i think it's important to point out, and one of the cardinals was telling me just the other day that there are so many young people now interested in the church because pope francis is so charismatic. and for them, the double canonization is a great way for them to remember pope john paul ii and john xxiii. many were here for the event and the italian news agencies are saying a quarter million at best are crammed into st. peter's square. there are delegations from all over the world. we have seen arabs and africans and lots of your peeuropeans, l americans out for this special day. pope john paul ii was very beloved by so many people. and he knew so many people because he was pope for 27 years. so there's a lot of excitement
4:04 am
just in the fact that a lot of people today can say that they actually saw up close, they actually met a saint. and here's what cardinal wuehrle had to say about that. >> his message was very simple, god loves you and christ has sent me to tell you that, but it was his smile, it was his outreach to people, and that he would make the time and take the energy to actually go and visit. >> reporter: now a lot of people said, anna, clayton and tucker, that these were separate popes, john xxiii and pope john paul ii who was more conservative. this was a show of unity, but others have said there's a lot of continuity between the two popes because one tried to open up the church and the other took the church out quite literally to the people with his globe
4:05 am
trotting. >> amy kellogg live in rome with a recap of today's historic events. thank you, amy. parts of north carolina cleaning up this morning with more than 200 homes destroyed in the tornado that touched down there on friday. 16 people were hurt. a tornado was also confirmed in pitt county. it will be another dangerous day. we'll check in with rick on the latest on that. >> interesting the tornado in north carolina, it was the first ef-3 tornado. >> what does that mean? >> how strong they are, they are rated on an ef-0 to ef5. ef-5 is the strongest tornado. we have not had any ef-3s so far in the season. this is the longest in the season without fatalities from tornadoes. so we are having a mild tornado season. that is all likely about to change in your day today. warm temperatures again here across parts of the plains. you can see the cold air back
4:06 am
where we see another slow moving system. we have another three to four days of severe weather across the country. you are clear across the east with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until noon. and now i just see a new one popping up above that. i'll find out when that expires. expect to see your morning storms later this afternoon. we start to get the other energy out here across parts of the rockies very slowly moving off across the east. we see a bigger threat for tornadoes. then you see the red from kansas city down to the part of louisiana. the entire state of arkansas could see large and damaging the storms. you need to have a weather radio or an alert on your phone to get a notification while sleeping if a tornado heads your way. tomorrow is farther off to the east in parts of temperature down through alabama and in towards mississippi by the time we get to tuesday. farther off to the southeast, not as big of a tornado threat
4:07 am
by tuesday, but the next two days, certainly the worst we have had so far this year and will likely see a number of tornadoes. some of them could be the large, long-lasting tornadoes that are generally destructive. >> thank you, rick. in other stories making headlines this sunday morning, we'll get to a fox news alert. overnight south korea's prime minister stepping down over that deadly ferry accident. he apologized to the victims' families amid claims that the government just didn't do enough to rescue their loved ones. 15 crew members involved in navigating the ferry have been arrested. meanwhile, the search of the wreckage continues today. 187 people are confirmed dead. 115 are still missing. at least nine people in texas were injured in an explosion at a plywood plant. it happened in the small town of corrigan at the plant. the cause of the explosion is
4:08 am
underway, but preliminary reviews say dust somehow ignited it. and antoinette d'amato has passed away. she is credited with helping her son win the 1980 election. she was also known as mama d'amato. she also had a cookbook to share her culinary secrets. she leaves behind two sons and a daughter. she was 99 years old. well, now to the disturbing story and the cover-up at the department of veterans affairs. and the question as to how long people at the department of veterans affairs knew many were passing away left under the care
4:09 am
of hospitals across the country. >> the president addressed in the speech to veterans that they have had very long wait times at hospitals and for benefits and we'll get to the bottom who have the. no one who serve this is country should have to stand in month-long lines to get the benefits or services he was promised. yet that's not what happened. the v.a. hospitals changed the way they were reporting on someone rather than streamlining the services. >> as we are learning more about this. it is just maddening involving the letting of documents ape having a real list and fake list. the way they were doing is punching in appointment times for veterans on a computer. taking a screen grab, printing that out to have a hard copy, but never hitting save so never actually having an appointment filed through the vet raps, allegedly. so how long did people know
4:10 am
about this at the top? maybe longer than they're saying. take a listen. >> we remove the senior management or director and chief of staff have flow no knowledge of this. as the memo states, ms. heldman knew that when representative miller announced it in congress. >> so why now, that's dr. sam foot there, who was the whistleblower who came forward to talk about this. the question is, why now? that's the question mark would do. >> my first initial is dr. foot, he's great, he's a whistleblower, but i want to put my foot up his backside, why
4:11 am
didn't he say something like this in the last 15 to 20 years. god bless him, but i think it's a little bit late. in my opinion, people are saying, it's the top five people in that administration that are to blame, that's b.s. they broke the first rule of medicine, first do not harm. they have done a lot of harm. 40 people are dead. >> 42 people that we know of. it is not clear how widespread this is. the v.a. was under a -- this is should be the first order of business. not passing out food stamps to those who arrive here but taking caring of your veterans. hopefully this sparks a congressional investigation of the entire system. and i bet it will. >> certainly somebody should be
4:12 am
held accountable. dr. foot was referring to the v.a. hospital. and she has reportedly said she knew nothing about the manipulation of the numbers, but it also happened in spokane, washington, with a number of suicides where veterans were suffering. and those were misrepresented as we well. >> she moves from reigning spokane to sunny phoenix. that's the end of that. let us know your thoughts. >> unbelievable. coming up, the security watchdog caught in land investigations for his friends. could this be what is happening? and george clooney getting

4:17 am
joining us now is the columnist for the national review, tom row michig rogan, good morning to you, tom. >> good morning. >> break this down for those who haven't heard about this. >> essentially, an investigation has come out by congress as reported that mr. redwood did everything he was not supposed to do. he changed reports and decided to consult with senior officials at dhs over a time line for releasing reports. he changed classification levels, which is a very serious -- it's a big mistake. and so his actions really were absolutely what you would expect and demand from someone in such an important role in such an important organization. >> well, it is an important role, absolutely. i mean, this is the person tasked with keeping the agency, which i think is the biggest in the federal government, honest. in one case, there's evidence he sat on information about the
4:18 am
2012 secret service prostitution scandal because he believed that the information came out, and it may hurt president obama in his re-election that year. >> right. and i think this is the big issue, at least for me here, is what this says about the administration. at the moment, for example, we have a senate investigation of the cia, which quite frankly is rewriting history in order to protect democrats and protect the white house from what they see as linkage to what the cia has been doing. and so that's one area where there's a politization of the investigation, but what has come out from the investigation is a situation in which mr. edwards has basically calculated what he has been doing in a way that makes the administration look good or at least protects them from any negative criticism, so
4:19 am
there's this dichotomy. the real problem for a president that came to washington on the basis of change, that he was going to change the narrative. well, what change is this? this is astonishing, really. and when you link to benghazi and link to other situations throughout the president's tenure in office, there's a trend that begins to develop. that does not speak highly to the white house's affinity for truth and for public disclosure in office. >> tom, do you see evidence anywhere else, you know, where this is part of just a bigger problem that the white house is playing politics chicago-style? >> well, i mean, we have the i.r.s. scandal, the a.p. wiretapping, benghazi, the cia situation i just mentioned. then you speak to journalists who work at the white house and the reputation that the white house has for not wanting to
4:20 am
engage quite frankly in an open way. there is a trend there. and again, i think a lot of this, unfortunately, is not going to come out until the president has left office. but then i think, you know, i do not think it will speak well on his record. >> yeah, and there's an awful lot of money. the d.h.s. budget is bigger than the gdp of some countries, so there's a lot at stake here. >> and what are they doing? it's terrorism, that's the big issue. >> it's a big issue. tom, thank you for joining us. so did you know less than half of infant car seats are good enough yet consumer reports best rating? what every parent needs to know to keep their kids safe in the car. and the wolf man robber with this disguise, but this could be his downfall. we have details, stay tuned. ♪ cars are driven by people.

his girlfriend who was spotted wearing a massive ring on her finger. she speaks three languages and specializes in criminal law. one of her clients? wikileaks founder julian assange. you have to wait for the right one to come along. rick reichmuth, what's happening outdoors today? >> today is one of the days that doesn't happen very often and it hasn't happened that much this year. today is one of the days we could see some significant tornadoes and numerous ones at that. this area of red is where we see the highest threat for tornadoes today. it is not at the elevated risk or the highest risk for this today, but later on when they re-evaluate this, we could see this elevated to the highest category. we'll continue to watch that. already this morning, we have severe weather firing across
4:41 am
central and eastern kansas and central oklahoma. these storms not tornadic at this point but potentially big hail with this. so a big day with severe weather, unfortunately, for us. >> thank you, rick. appreciate it. it may be a good day to see films. kevin mccarthy is here with "the other woman" hitting the box office this weekend. >> i'm excited to be in the studio. >> i love the suit. >> i bought this yesterday for this appearance. it's been a long time. >> where would you get a suit like that? >> tom man or top shop. something like that. a british place. >> i think you wore it for kate upton. >> i did wear it for kate upton. i wish i would have, she would have liked it. the movie "the other woman" this past friday is going to make $25 million estimated this weekend. $9 million on friday. it tells the story of three women who team up to take down a villain who is cheating on all three of them, nikolai canister.
4:42 am
and kate upton and cameron diaz team up. all three of these girls need to take down every villain in the history of movies. where would they have the most fun? this is what they had to say. >> i want to see them take down any villain. >> i think i want to be, turn these women into superheroes. >> like the green goblins. or "lord of the rings" we could be -- >> yes! >> you are wiping the drool off. you say the creme industhemistr.
4:43 am
but the problem is, this comedy is way too long. you have to think, how much longer is it going to be? mann and diaz did save the film. kate upton, not so great for her first acting job, in my opinion. >> do you really focus on upton for her actions? >> i know. i gave it a three out of five, which is a "c." don't pay full ticket for it, but if you want a couple laughs, check it out in theaters. >> kevin mccarthy. >> thank you so much. when are we going to talk amazing spider-man? >> you will text until friday. i review the movie next friday, but i'm seeing brian cranston on broadway today. "breaking bad." the best show ever. >> faith under fire. a second grader told not to read the bible in her classroom. a larger attack on christianity in our schools? oh, yes, says the next guest. we are back in a minute. [ woman ] i've always tried to see things from the best angle i could.
4:44 am
it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin
4:45 am
but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

well, thousands of convicted felons could be walking throw from prison thanks to the white house's clemency plan. the administration is calling it a matter of fairness. is it about fairness or is it about the midterm elections? joining us now, former deputy assistant general tom dupree. thank you for joining us this morning. >> good morning. >> the idea is some were sentenced unbiased. sow many people are likely to be let out of prison and what affect are we going to see on america? >> well, there's certainly a large group that potentially would be eligible for early release under the president's plan. the estimates have ranged from the low thousands to tens of thousands or even more. so i think we're talking about a large group that at least would potentially be eligible. and as far as the effect on america, it is anyone's guess,
4:48 am
but it could be very severe. i think the thing worrisome for us following the issue is the justice of department issued six criteria to use to decide which felons are eligible for early release. and some of the cry tier criteria are not eligible. if you have a significant gang tie, but it should say no gang ties. >> there are a lot of people in prison serving super long sentences, costing a lot to keep them in there, but don't you think the crime rate went down as the prison population swelled? so there's a tradeoff and could it move in the other direction if we move a lot of people out? >> there's a tradeoff here. and your point about how some of the sentences are unfair is well taken, but what i would say is, look, if there's unfair nps the system, and i have no doubt in individual cases there's
4:49 am
unfairness, that's not an issue for the president to unilaterally decide on with a wholesale basis. if the president wants to talk about sentencing reform, he needs to go to the democratic process and make it happen that way rather than trying to circumvent congress through executive fiat. >> so the king can't issue clemency broadly. do you think there's a political component here? >> i think there probably is. no secret that the president had difficulty in getting his legislate agreement through congress. for him to send the message to core supporter that is, look, if i am powerless to get my bills to congress, i nonetheless go around the process to take action myself to get this sort of thing done. >> pandering by letting felons out of prison, i hope that's not true, but i suspect you may be right. tom, thank you for coming on this morning. >> thank you. the state department spokesman cannot come up with a single achievement of hillary
4:50 am
clinton during her time as secretary of state. >> i am certain that those who were here at the time who worked hard on that effort -- could point out one. >> it turns out hillary cannot come up with one either. will moments like this haunt that potential presidential candidate were she to run? our political panel weighs in. and then faith under fire. a second grader told not to read the bible at school. our next guest defended that girl's right to worship and she joins us live, next. ♪ cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

welcome back. 53 minutes past the hour. try to rack your brain around this one. students at a texas elementary school are allowed to read "the hunger games" in class but can't read the bible. >> banned, huh? a second grader was told she cannot read her bible during free reading time and that the book should stay at home. the school has since made it clear that the bible is allowed, but is this evidence of a larger attack against christianity in our schools? >> joining us is the president from the liberty institute, kelly shackleford. welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me, clayton. >> first of all, the school has reversed its position, but how did this happen in the first place? how is a teacher to go up to a student randomly tell that person, that's not acceptable reading here. you need to take that book home. >> well, it was a time that they called read to myself time. and this student, this second grade girl, brought as the thing she wanted to read, her bible. she was, as you mentioned, not
4:55 am
only told she couldn't do, that but she was told to never bring her bible to school again. and unfortunately you mentioned the school district admirably, as soon as this was exposed, quickly corrected this and we asked for them to educate the educators there so this didn't happen again. but unfortunately this is a trend we're seeing more of these. i know fox had a case a couple weeks ago with a 5-year-old girl who was actually stopped while she was bowing her head over her meal and saying grace over her meal and told it was not good to pray at school. we are seeing a lot of these incidents. and this is something that shouldn't happen to these children. >> i mean, we've also seen the pledge of allegiance, the words "under god" being taken out or kids not meeting at the flag pole to pray or fellowship of christian athletes coming under fire. what does that say about our society? >> well, this is our first freedom, religious freedom. it's why the founders came here to establish it. and it's really a core and central principle. and right there in the first

amendment at the beginning, it is something we have to pay attention to. and we catalog all these attacks around the country, so we have tried to do a lot of education. one of the things we have is graduation coming up and there are a lot of things at school. we have a school of rights kit where students can no who their rights are. they can go to libertyinstitute.org to know what their freedoms are. if we don't know what the freedoms are, we don't have them. and people begin to do fearful things like this and shut down people's expression without realizing it. >> kelly, well said. education is the key here and everyone should go -- what is the website again? >> libertyinstitute.org. we'll have right on the front where they can get the students bill of rights kit for free. >> wonderful. kelly shackelford, thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up on the show, call it #diplomacy, the obama administration using social

5:01 am
and comedian tim allen taking to twitter to double down on calling california a socialist state, but the twitter responding kindly. "fox and friends" hour three starts right now. >> welcome to "fox and friends." we are happy to see you. counting down the days until actual spring, even though we hit spring, it doesn't feel like it. >> i don't care what the weather is, it's spring. >> it's meteorological spring, we are two meteorological spring. >> wow. okay. across the state, roman catholics are celebrating pope francis as pope john xxiii and
5:02 am
pope john paul ii were brought into sainthood. >> reporter: for many it was quite moving to see pope benedict embrace pope francis. they were speaking to each other in whisper that is specifically saying continuity. pope benedict hasn't seen much in public after stepping down. and he looked relaxed when people greeted him. a great weight off his shoulders. the mass today was two hours long. relics were blessed. one was carried by a woman who believed her brain aneurysm through prayer to john paul ii is one of the miracles attributed to him. it was john xxiii and john paul ii cannonized today. john xxiii the great diplomatic pope who rose from humble
5:03 am
beginnings to become really outstanding in terms of wisdom and people skills. he was rickized as a saint along pope john paul ii who was hoping to bring about the fall of communism by bringing about spiritual report to the solidarity movement. >> that's the impact that john paul had. now where did that come from? that came from his living in the horrors of nazi oppression, and that came from his living and thriving under communist harassment. >> reporter: and in poland people said they feel very blessed today because they have a friend in heaven. anna, clayton, tucker? >> amy kellogg live in rome where it is the afternoon. we appreciate it. rick reichmuth standing by to tell us what is happening beyond the confines of the studio. >> i love that. we'll have tornadoes today.
5:04 am
take a look at. this on the average, we would have 374 tornadoes. this year we have 119. two days ago we had the first ef-3 tornado. we have had no fatalities from tornadoes. generally we have 50 each year. so it's been very quiet, but that's changing. we have very warm air across parts of the plains with these temps today feeling very warm. it's also humid. and we have a big storm that's pulling in from the west. and that's going to change everything. already this morning, some severe weather to be had across parts of kansas in to oklahoma. two severe thunderstorm watch boxes up in effect until noon. but it's this energy that's coming from the west. you can see the snow near parts of colorado. that's the cold air mass colliding with the warm air mass to change wind directions with height and bringing severe weather. later on today, we'll see some potentially very strong tornados, across parts of arkansas and missouri. tomorrow the threat moves just a little farther to the east, but you will notice a moderate risk
5:05 am
across parts of the deep south. so, we have two or three days left of severe weather from this time and hopefully won't see some of the numbers kick up too much, but certainly the threat is there. >> take your weather radios and keep them handy. rick, thank you. we have someso other storie making headlines. south korea's prime minister is stepping down over the deadly ferry accident. chong hong wong apologized to the victims' families saying he didn't do enough to rescue their loved ones. meanwhile, the search of the wreckage continues today. 187 people are confirmed dead. 115 people are still missing. and nine people in texas were injured at an explosion in a plywood plant just north of houston. several of the victims have severe burns. the cause of the explosion is
5:06 am
under investigation but preliminary reports are that dust in the plant somehow ignited. and the connecticut teenager accused of stabbing a classmate to death could be charged as an adult. 16-year-old christopher plaskin stabbed a girl on the day of their prom. authorities are now looking into the invitation to problem was behind the deadly attack. the boy is being held at the medical center undergoing a psychiatric evaluation and could be held there for as long as 16 days before being charged as an adult. he's described as well liked and popular. and last month 72-year-old vietnam veteran melvin morris was awarded the military's highest honor, the medal of honor. this was at a ceremony at the white house where president obama was awarded with the honor. now he's being honored at home in oklahoma. members of congress and the general public in attendance. he dedicated the medals to those
5:07 am
who he served with and gave the ultimate sacrifice. those are your headlines. long-time coming there. thank you, anna. this is both a hilarious story and one with deep political resonance. just the other day, a wire reporter asked a state department spokeswoman, by the way, what were hillary clinton's achievements while she was secretary of state? you have heard all about the thing that is she did, but those claims lack specificity. take a look at the response the a.p. reporter got, what did hillary clinton achieve? >> have you off the top of your head identified one tangible achievement that results from the last year? >> as you know, i have only been here as concluded. i'm sure there were a lot of range of things put into place that i'm not aware of. >> i won't hold my breath. >> she could have said something, anything. it would have been better than that. >> did you live in american then? >> what about hillary clinton,
5:08 am
what would she say if asked the same question? typically, she can't answer the question either, except saying she's passing the baton symbolically. let us know what she said at a women's summit earlier this year in new york. >> when you look at your time as secretary of state, what are you most proud of and what do you feel was unfinished, maybe would love to have another crack at one day? >> well, i really see -- that was good. look, i really see my role as secretary, in fact, leadership in general in a democracy, as a relay race. i mean, you run the best race you can run. you hand off the baton. some of what hasn't been finished may go on to be finished. >> and if you read the rest of the statement or listen to the rest of the statement, it is more fluff talking about the time. and it was a race. basically a care-taker of the office. >> the guy asking the questions, i think, is new york times
5:09 am
columnist tom friedman. >> passing of the baton, every time we watch the olympics, that's what everybody is watching, how you hand off the baton. >> if you drop it, then the race is completely over. but at issue is something that charles krauthammer pointed out. she's already been vetted. democrats are pointing to her as being the eventual nominee in 2016 do. they care? are they going to point to any one particular achievement? >> qualifications don't matter, they nominated barack obama who had nope. obviously it is not relevant except to those who care about logic, but that's not a lot of democratic members. it will be tough to launch a campaign. basically, the justification is that you have a female president. >> and there's recent polling that says just that, that she's a female in politics and was first lady. and also that was her second
5:10 am
biggest credential is dealing with the affair of her husband. just being in the public eye, does that make you a good person to be president? is this another celebrity-type of presidential candidate like we saw on president barack obama? >> i'm not mocking that, the polls indicate whether people want this, but this is in effect for a lot of people. >> when you poll individuals around the world and in this country on which country is hospitable to do business, overwhelmingly, they respond to california as the worst to do business in this country. the amount of taxes are ridiculous, people are moving from arizona, nevada and utah. tim allen, tim the tool time taylor from "the home improvement" show took to twitter and says, how does taxing high-income people help the middle class succeed?
5:11 am
that's how this all unfolded when going to twitter. he got a backlash on it and is doubling down. he went on "the jimmy kimmel" show last night to double-down on the comments. listen. >> i say because there's no hotel rooms, you can sleep anywhere los angeles because we are kind of a socialist state. if you sleep on the street out here, you stay long enough, they start giving you free stuff. >> they do? >> you will get a cell phone, berkenstocks, cargo shorts, and if you stay long enough, you get a free tesla. >> if you don't do anything, eventually you get handouts from the state. >> it is not very often you see the person from hollywood taking a conservative stance. a few years ago we had clint eastwood on saying conservatives are scared in hollywood, even if the belief systems they identify with, they are going to lose their work or not get it. >> people never ask the obvious
5:12 am
question, i grew up there. it was not that way when i went there. it's more split, and why is that? you could say immigration. >> it has turned california into a relikely blue state. that's just a fact. we should be honest about it. >> people took to twitter to respond to tim allen. here's one twitter from lukejcole who says, does tim allen even have an income anymore? >> and this one says, lol, you're a woman. >> that's the one i like with no punctuation and fake acronym, but you're the moron. >> go to twitter and be ironic if you like and use hash tags if
5:13 am
you like. friends@foxnews.com or ffnweekend on twitter. and some are calling it #diplomacy. the obama administration using social media to fight battles with other countries. does it work or make us look strong or is the rest of the world laughing at us? chris wallace is next. then a woman felt so bad for the homeless guy she gave him some food, but he's a famous hollywood actor who didn't have a wait to hear it is true, i guess.

5:16 am
welcome back, everyone, to "fox and friends" this sunday morning. is the obama administration counting on a hash to go to bring on diplomacy?
5:17 am
>> they are working to get the conversation going online when jen stockey tweeted this. the world stands #unitedforukraine. let's hope that the kremlin and mfa russia will live by the premise of hashtag. can anybody see what that means? >> that's a good question. thankfully chris wallace is joining us, the host of "fox news sunday" which air in a little bit. #goodmorning. >> do you think this tweet was something jen stackey dashed off or is the state department using hashtags as a did plomacy tool? >> i don't think henry kissinger would have sent this particular hash tag, but the president is that the president's handling of ukraine has not shown a lot of strength, has not been very resolute. i'm not sure there's anything we can do that can stop putin's
5:18 am
designs on that part of the world, obviously, russia has a lot closer ties and a greater interest in ukraine than the united states and western europe do, but having said that, there's obviously a lot more we can do to try to deter putin. we could have been a lot tougher and a lot more proactive rather than reactive in economic sanctions. and the fact that we're still kind of fumbling around with our alliance and a lot of this obviously is the reluctance of the european union, has not in any way deterred putin or moscow from doing what they are doing in eastern ukraine, which is certainly destabilizing in that part of the world. >> chris, this comes on the heels of the story this week that i found amazing that the united states was spending millions of dollars on the social media campaign setting up basically twitter clones and other parts of the world staging them in an effort to get conversations going in iran and other parts of the world. and then not backing them up, setting them up and just wasting millions of dollars by not
5:19 am
actually supporting them. there's still more in the pipeline from the obama administration. they are still planning more conversation pieces. does that surprise you at all and what the administration is doing to support these conversations other than setting up social networks? >> well, i must say, i haven't followed that particular story in great detail. not that there' with using social media, it's one of the forms of communication we have in the world. you look at the arab spring and the effort of things like facebook and twitter and the impact they have on the resolution inside egypt a few years ago, the top off mubarak, but it is an effective tool for organizing. you obviously have to use it and clearly if you say that they aren't following up on it, that's a problem. >> if you are going to use your 140 characters in hash tags, let's have action behind the words. chris, what is coming up on the show? >> well, we'll be talking first of all about affirmative action. it was a big story this week, a
5:20 am
big supreme court ruling that basically it wasn't on affirmative action, but what it said was that states can ban affirmative action. they have the constitutional right to do that. we'll be talking to two of the key players in this, jennifer grab, an undergraduate, denied a spot at the university of michigan. she said because of racial preferences. she was one of the people pushing the ban. and she'll be debating shanta driver who lobbied unsuccessfully for affirmative action. and we'll have interviews with possible 2016 a candidatesment,6 candidates. we'll talk to mike pence who was elected governor of indiana a couple years ago. he's on the list, a great mentioner, as potential candidate for president in 2016. >> chris wallace, thank you so much. check your local listings for "fox news sunday." great to see you. a historic moment at the

5:26 am
that doesn't mean you're a bad person or bad catholic, but there is, i think, value in waiting because there's context of history, but there's also a precedent and value when the church says, make him a saint now! popes listen to that. that's what happened to pope john paul ii. remember his funeral, make him a saint. why? it was universally recognized this guy was a holy guy. >> you saw the current pope with the last pope. >> that's wild. >> what is the significance of that? has it happened before? >> no, in the last 700 years, there's never been a pope that resigned and never been a pope who resigned because of old age. and deciding, you know, we're going topaz this on to somebody else. that was a tremendous historical act, an act of humility. and because of benedict xvi, we
5:27 am
got pope francis. i think we got that and it's a very good thing. >> also, is this an effort to bring the left wing of the church to the right wing of the church? >> vatican ii was started and that was a big departure, but it was not that john xxiii was politically a leftie and pope john paul was a political conservative, but it does bring people together who loved john xxiii and pope john paul ii. but were these holy men? priests, bishops, men and women are called in the christian faith to holiness. and it is god who makes the saints. and i believe they are up in heaven now, and that's what the whole canonization process has, that the declaration of these men being in heaven by the grace of god. it's a great -- it's great to have spiritual heroes. >> spiritual hall of fame. >> absolutely. we need that. >> father jonathan morris, great

outside our studio this is morning. congratulations. good job, rick! >> there's a small learning curve for you. >> i hung on for another 20 minutes after the event and just mastered that. >> and it is all in the wrists, really, right? >> i knew you could do it. >> it's a really quick trick. so the truth about starting that bike is it was actually like 48 tries or something to start that bike. but then one of the pros got on and it took him like another ten times. so it wasn't just my fault. >> that bike was cold. >> we couldn't even film it. >> they had to go back to get a second vhs to start recording on it. we'll talk about the weather, there's a lot going on today. and there's a lot going on as we move to the evening hours and during the overnight hours. take a look at weather maps temperaturewise as you're waking up, very cool air. certainly for this time of the year, 43 in albuquerque, but then you see the warmth across
5:34 am
the central plain where is the trouble spot will be today. today, a great day out across parts of the southeast because of the rain moving in the next couple of days. and a lot of the areas see four to five inches of water with flooding, but this morning we have big storms firing from oklahoma city up towards wichita. and then a few storms firing around little rock as well severe with strong winds this morning. but that is kind of the precursor to the main event that will start to happen later this afternoon and during the overnight hours. anywhere you see that red, that is, i think, our biggest threat for tornadoes and certainly some very large hail that could be very damaging. but some of the tornadoes as well could be large tornadoes and long-lived tornadoes. those are the ones to cause potentially so much damage. the same threat just moves to the east tomorrow. so where you see the yellow, anybody is going to be seeing strong winds and hail. but the red is a bull's-eye for the strongest tornadoes. so areas of the deep south tomorrow around nashville down to birmingham, tuscaloosa, be on alert. back to you inside. thank you, rick. well, overnight president obama
5:35 am
held a press conference with malaysia's prime minister as questions loomed over the missing airliner. no trace of which has yet been found. >> the president also talking about the tensions between russia and ukraine. >> peter doocy is joining us from washington, d.c. with the all the details. good morning, peter. >> good morning, anna. the big thing right now when it comes to possible new sanctions against russia is just making sure that the united states and the european union are on the same page. that's what president obama said this morning at the press conference in malaysia. and the president said he just thinks the impact of the united front against moscow would be greater than it becoming another russia/u.s. greater conflict. >> oftentimes they are really interested in portraying this through this old cold war prism when in fact that's not the issue here. the issue is respecting basic international norms of sovereignty and territorial integrity. >> so the west is figuring out how to stop things in russia
5:36 am
from boiling over, burnd watter the search for missing flight 370 is now in its seventh week. there's been chatter, also, about how effective the malaysian government has been at finding and sharing important information, but president obama says he thinks he's done a fine job. >> the united states and other partners have found the malaysian government eager for assistance, have been fully forthcoming with us in terms of the information that they have. and this is a joint effort. it's not easy. >> and as the search continues, president obama says the united states will continue to dedicate some resources to the effort. back to you in new york. >> thank you, peter doocy in washington. thank you. other stories making headlines this morning to tell you about, the los angeles clippers owner donald sterling feeling the full court press after these comments surface.
5:37 am
>> it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. >> well, did you hear about this? the nba is now investigating the comment first leaked by tmz. the recording of the 81-year-old billionaire fighting with his girlfriend. sterling was set to receive a lifetime achievement award from the naacp. sterling won today's game against the golden state warriors. she struck a 17-year-old with her car and now is suing his family for emotional trauma? back in 2012, charline simon hit the boy and his friend riding their bikes. the boy was killed and two others were injured. according to the lawsuit, simon is seeking $1.35 million from the families claiming she
5:38 am
sustained great pain and suffering. it also claims the kids were negligent bike riders. his parents say they are shocked and devastated over the suit. and there's a wear werewolf on the loose. the man pointed a gun at the register and demanded all the money. then he fled in a white toyota corolla. remember this photo we showed you of a homeless man in new york city last week? he's not homeless. it's actually actor richard gere. and this woman who thought she was helping somebody out on the left is speaking out and saying the french tourist had just spotted the star. when she found out who he was seeing a top by of the new york post with her picture on it. gere was just filming scenes for his new movie. i wouldn't have recognized him
5:39 am
either. >> i didn't know he was homeless, that is sad. autism now affects 1 in 70 children, and one man with an autistic teenager was inspired to design a clothing line specifically for kids with special needs giving them independence in providing parents with peace of mind. >> here now is the president of independence day clothing, lauren tierney. where did you get the idea to do this? >> the idea didn't come from far. my autistic teenager is not too much of a wandering, but 48% of americans with autism are at risk for wandering every day. that's nearly half of the 4.3 million people out there with autism. >> so with gps tracking devices -- >> that is what i came up with. two years ago i said, kids with autism, they have to have clothes that are sensory smooth and soft. if you put a gps tracker on their wrist or on their ankle or around their neck, it's really a
5:40 am
sensory nightmare. >> that would drive any bonn we ares. >> especially somebody with sensory issues and the high visibility of trackers in those places. a predator could see them, a worst nightmare. >> we'll start with the boy's clothing in the polo shirt and where the tracker would go inside the shirt. >> this looks like a normal, typical shirt. any kid could wear it. except hidden down here is a little hidden compartment. and what i do is i put the tracker right inside this compartment. this is very soft and very smooth. so nobody has to know that it is there. even the autistic person wearing it doesn't feel it. so nobody has to know it's there, and yet parents can check up on them 24/7. the pants also have a place to hide the gps tracker as well. everything we have here is reversible because sometimes kids have trouble eating, staying clean, but also they can put them on themselves. the back is the front and the front is the back.
5:41 am
it is called equally needed. however you put it on, the child puts it on correctly. >> how about the girl's clothing? >> same thing. this is a dress that you can see no matter how you put it on, it is the same in the back as it is in the front. and it's also reversible. so you've got a spill, that's okay, because you have a whole new dress on the inside. it's modeled after lili pulitzer. it is made for teens, tweens and adults. a lot of them dress in baggy t-shirts because it is something they won't mix-up or if it is backwards, nobody notices. so i made a clothing line for them. no matter how you put it on, it's correct. >> where does the tracker go? >> right here in the same exact spot. someplace where she will not notice it and won't be able to see it and won't be able to feel
5:42 am
it. >> tell us the price-point on these? >> bloomingdale's or the macy's price-point. all the clothes are two pieces of clothes because it is reversible. these go for about $50, but more importantly, with every purchase, we give you a free gps tracker. >> nice. >> where can people learn more? >> inddayclothing.com. >> we'll make sure to link it on foxandfriends.com. we'll have more information there for people interested. >> i think i want to take this home. i love it. >> i love the green and black striped shirt. next on the rundown, turns out puppy love is for real. we'll explain next. and harry reid loves to slam the wealthy coq brothers. >> the coq brothers seem to believe in an america where the system is rigged to benefit the wealthy. >> maybe he should look in the mirror. we'll look at the senate majority leader's checkered past. salesperson #1: so, again, throwing in the $1,000
5:43 am
5:44 am
fuel reward card is really what makes it like two deals in one. salesperson #2: actually, getting a great car with 42 highway miles per gallon makes it like two deals in one. salesperson #1: point is there's never been a better time to buy a jetta tdi clean diesel. avo: during the first ever volkswagen tdi clean diesel event, get a great deal on a jetta tdi. it gets 42 highway miles per gallon. and get a $1,000 fuel reward card. it's like two deals in one. volkswagen has the most tdi clean diesel models of any brand. hurry in and get a $1,000 fuel reward card and 0.9% apr for 60 months on tdi models.

nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. because what we all really want... ...is more. there's a reason it's called an "all you can eat" buffet. and not a "have just a little buffet". that's the idea behind the more everything plan. it's more of everything you want, for less. because, c'mon. no one ever takes the second biggest cookie.

5:47 am
>> that's why i have kids. it's another case of hypocrisy from the senate majority leader, harry reid. watch this. >> it's a same that protecting important interests is important to them. >> they believe in a system where the system is rigged to benefit the very wealthy. >> count on reid to play the special interest card, but when it comes to republicans, should they be looking in the mirror? how did harry reid get so rich? that's the question on the table, matthew, thank you for coming on this morning. you may have the answer. this has been bothering me for years. here's a guy in public service his whole life and two years ago he was worth $6 million. where did the money come from? >> well, i guess it came from coming to do good and staying to do well here in washington, d.c. like so many politicians. when you look at harry reid's investment portfolio over the years, he's really got a
5:48 am
multimillion fortune. he has some mine holding, but you take a step back and look at how the reid family uses politics to help out themselves. i mean, it's very true. reid has four sons and one son-in-law that are all lawyers and represent clients who have business before the state of nevada and before the federal government that reid helps influence. >> it is just filthy. we have a couple highlights of how he made his money. 1998, spent $400,000 on a property in la vegas and transferred his interest to a partner to get out of paying taxes, and then wound up getting $1.1 million. how can i get in on something like that? >> right. well, my favorite story in recent weeks was harry reid's granddaughter, he was using campaign funds, about $30,000, to buy what he said was jewelry from his granddaughter that he would then give to campaign supporters. so, right, i mean, harry reid,
5:49 am
not only should he write a book about investment strategy, but write a book about grandparenting because i would love to have him as a grandfather. he's very generous. >> here's another reason i'm going to hire him to manage my meager retirement funds. in 2002 he puts $10,000 into a pension fund controlled by a friend called clara hancock, and then he would benefit her lubrication company. in 2012 his campaign spent $31,000 purchasing gifts from ryan elizabeth's jewelry line owned by reid's granddaughter. we should back up and say that the investment did really well for him, didn't it? >> yeah, no, it did. he made a pretty penny. the reid office and the reid campaign would say that no allegations of illegality have been used against harry reid and he can draw the line between his decades of politics between benefiting from his influence without crossing that line of
5:50 am
illegality. of course, things are bearing down on him now with his senate majority in danger. that's one reason why he's getting such scrutiny about his own fortune when he packs the fortunes of other people trying to influence politics. >> he's the senior lawmaker in the most powerful history in human country. this is the guy who has influence over a massive budget and the suggestion of getting rich from that is troubling, why has there not been a federal investigation into how he got so rich? >> i think it starts with the kind of investigative reporting we have been discussing here. like i said, the reid folks are very careful about not crossing that line. but it's funny, he attacked st. charles and david coq for using money to influence politics. he's taking money from another billionaire, the liberal tom steyer, because he opposes the

well, check this out. 48% of all college graduates are working in jobs that didn't require a four-year degree. it's not that well-paying jobs aren't out there. 600,000 manufacturing jobs go unfilled because employers can't find qualified workers. if welders are making $150,000 a year, is it time for our high
5:55 am
schools to bring back shop class? joining us now is ohio state treasurer josh mandell. i loved shop class. >> i think so. you look throughout my state, ohio, you look throughout the country, shop class has been eliminate ed at a lot of school. unfortunately these young people are being told the only way to be successful is with a four-year college degree. we've ended up with a whole generation of young people, many people who have four-year liberal arts degrees, making $50,000 a year, and they're working at starbucks or somewhere at the mall. >> i think you bring up a great point. a lot of these jobs, too, are recession-proof. right? during the downturn we still need carpenters and plumbers and welders to fix things and keep our economy run, right? keep our communities running? >> absolutely. look here in our state, we've become one of the leading oil
5:56 am
and gas states in the utica and marcellus shale. i was near the west virginia border. dave archer, he told me he's rejecting orders from customers every month because he can't find enough skilled welders. and at the same time he's paying some of his welders over $150,000. think about that. >> there was a front-page story "new york times" in the yesterday about the amount of kids not going to college anymore, not opting to go into college anymore. are we worried by focusing on these types of jobs we're losing our ability in the world to have the high information jobs, the science and technology jobs and we're sort of standing by and watching india take them or china take those jobs? >> i don't think it's mutually exclusive. i think we want more young people to go into hard sciences and engineering and important fields like that. at the same time, we want more young people to go into the welders and pipe fitters. it's this oversaturation of
5:57 am
liberal arts degrees we need to be wary of and push more kids into the skilled trades. >> i agree. josh mandell, appreciate you joining us. >> always good to be on. they died waiting for care from the country they serve. what took so long to blow the witnessle? we're going inside the cover-up at the veterans affairs, when we come back. cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

good morning, everyone. it is sunday, the 27th of april, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. two popes just elevated to sainthood. we are there taking you inside every moment of this historic day. they died waiting for care from the country they served. what took so long for the obama administration to reveal the corruption at the v.a.? >> he's a whistle-blower but i kind of want to put my foot up his backside. why didn't he say something like this in the last 15, 20 years.
6:01 am
>> we're going inside the cover-up at the veterans affairs. >> a firestorm after the owner of the los angeles clipper was caught saying this. >> it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. >> man. a big problem for the civil rights group, the naacp. why? he's up for a lifetime achievement award right now. "fox & friends" hour four starts right now. >> unbelievable. >> good morning. it's "fox & friends." sunday the last sunday in april. we're glad to see you. >> tucker carlson, clayton tore ris, i'm anna kooiman. we are talking things like harry caray, that's where the seventh inning stretch was born and also

the first concession stands. >> did you get to play with the ivy on the brook on the back wall. >> all the ivy was dead while i was there. i got to take batting practice. can't wait till you see. i hit it into the outfield. score! >> in the ivy, they have hidden extra baseballs. no joke. the outfielder went to grab it and another ball fell out. there are balls hidden in the ivy. >> really? >> yes. >> that's coming up in just a few minutes. >> meanwhile, across the world, roman catholics celebrating two new saints this morning. pope francis canonized pope john xxiii and pope john paul ii. amy kellogg is there. >> reporter: one of the popes canonized, john paul ii, was pope for nearly 27 years. he was constantly on the go. in terms of all the people who
6:03 am
flocked to see him over the years, he was in fact the most popular pope in history. it's quite staggering when you think about the people who say they knew or at least met a saint. that's part of the excitement we've seen on st. peters scare. pope francis did this double canonization, many people say, as a show of church unity, recognizing the holiness of two very different men. john xxiii and john paul ii. they were both quite revolutionary in many of the same ways. john paul ii had the second longest papacy in history. john xxiii was meant to be a transitional figure, elected late in life. >> john, in only five years got the whole world to love him, set the world on fire. why john paul ii, that great robust figure in the final years
6:04 am
of his pontificate taught us how to love, forgive, how to suffer and how to die. that's why we canonize these people. they alloweded go eed god's pre invade their very person. >> reporter: this double canonization was history making and also the fact there was a pope emeritus, that is benedict xvi in attendance. he celebrated the mass with pope francis. finally, there was a huge polish contingent. i don't know if you could see some of the banners in the video. they traveled on buses, planes, trains, any way to get here. so many of them that we met on st. peter's square said they know all of poland wanted to be here today but simply couldn't make it. they felt they were representing their country who, of course, remains so very proud of pope john paul ii who was the first nonitalian pope in centuries and with such a massive historical and symbolic figure. back to you.
6:05 am
>> amy kellogg. a beautiful live shot in rome this morning, summing up today's historic events. >> thank you. four minutes after the hour on your sunday. stories making headlines, overnight, south korea's prime minister stepping down over that deadly ferry accident. chong hong-won apologized to the family members. 15 crew members involved in navigating the ferry have been arrested. meanwhile, the search of the wreckage continues today. 187 people are confirmed dead. 115 still missing. shocking and scary news from al qaeda. their chief, ayman al zawahiri called for muslims to kidnap americans. their plan is to then exchange them for jailed jihadists. last week in a recording, al zawahiri said al qaeda is holding strong and expanding.

6:08 am
[ bleep ] instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with, walking with black people. >> bear in mind his girlfriend is black. she's black. he's saying that to a black person. >> what's interesting, sterling -- big democratic donor by the way -- has been accused by the justice department of racism, discrimination. he's a property owner and landlord in l.a. discriminating against black tennants. most striking of all, he's slated as of this hour to receive the naacp of california's lifetime achievement award. if you're wondering why the naacp would choose to give its lifetime achievement award to a guy with a history of accusat n accusations of racism. >> they give you money, they give you an award in exchange. >> this is not going to happen
6:09 am
if alice huffman has anything to say about it. she's a member of the naacp. she's furious about the l.a. bureau of the naacp. she kwrites this -- >> as the investigation is in progress, we urge the l.a. branch of the naacp to withdraw donald sterling from the honoree list. she's urge iing black and latin not to attend the games. >> this is completely corrupt. it's a total payoff deal. i've seen it a million times. where you have an image problem, pay a nonprofit group to help you with your image problem. i think we should call him out right now. you're not a moral arbiter if you're taking money from people in an effort to rehab. >> if you listen to the recording further, he talks about magic johnson and the
6:10 am
girlfriend not bringing him. he's taken to twitter as have several others saying it's unfortunate this would have happened. lebron james saying he would have a tough time if he played for sterling to suit up. you know, it's coming out of the woodwork. >> even the los angeles clippers were about to boycott the -- considered boycotting game four of the playoffs. they decided to not do that after all. snoop dogg and others saying we're never going to go to a los angeles clippers game again. what should the nba do? is there a way to can the owner of the los angeles clippers? let us know what you think. more than 200 homes damaged following friday's tornado in beaufort county. >> it's been a quiet season so far. looks like it could be worse. >> the tornado in north carolina was the first ef-3 tornado we've
6:11 am
had this season, which is late for us to have it, the latest we've ever seen, that large of a tornado forming and that's great news. >> a heavy rain area across parts of the south, in fact, a lot of areas over the next three to four days will see four to six inches of rain. expect to see significant flooding going on across parts of the ohio valley, the mississippi river valley and eventually into parts of the northeast. the tornado threat, the worst is where you see the red bullseye, from kansas city stretching towards arkansas and memphis. that is where we could see large tornadoes, potentially. but a lot of areas will see big-time hail as well. we have very warm temperatures here ahead of this system. you see that cold air back behind there, an upper level disturbance slowly moving across the country. that's why we have so many days that we're seeing this severe weather. today this is where we see the bullseye. tomorrow it moves further off towards the east. crosses the lower mississippi valley here and tomorrow, another potentially dangerous day. some of the tornadoes could be
6:12 am
large and last for a long time. those kinds of tornados that are on the ground for 50, 70 miles. everything in between potentially causing those problems. >> dangerous? >> that's what we're looking at as a potential today and overnight tonight into the day tomorrow. >> that's scary. i assume there are early warning systems for the states, right? >> sometimes tornadoes don't have a huge amount of warning ahead of time. the joplin, missouri didn't have a huge warning. sometimes you get better warning. that's up to individual national weather service offices. everybody in this area needs to be watching and be prepared. >> thank you. they died waiting for care from the country they served. what took so long to blow the whistle? congressman louie gomart is in the building. two nascar drivers have a little road rage with the cameras roling. you'll want to watch this.

6:16 am
some in congress are calling for a probe into the shocking allegations that a v.a. hospital in phoenix put veterans on a secret wait list. and this this led to at least 40 deaths while those veterans waited for the care they earned. is it -- why hasn't washington done more to fix this troubled agency? joining us now for answers, congressman louie gohmert. thank you for joining us. >> always good to be with you. >> what do you make of these allegations and are they the tip of the iceberg. >> i'm afraid they're the tip of the iceberg. allegations arise of wrongdoing or misconduct. this isn't negligence we're talking about.
6:17 am
this is intentional misconduct, putting our nation's veterans on secret lists where they die. we know that that's why socialized medicine doesn't ever fail of its own accord, because they put people on lists and die sooner an they don't get the care they need. we made promises to our veterans. that if you serve and you survive, then you will have this care. and to be treating our nation's veterans like this, it needs more than just a simple investigation. there are potential criminal charges here. there are charges, most states have criminally negligent homicide. when you put somebody you know is about to die unless they have treatment, on a list, then there should be a real criminal responsibility. >> this has been going on for so long. so long. and the president has pledged to fix the v.a., fix the benefit system, fix the hospital. the administration hasn't. is that incompetentence or lack of will? >> actually, before i came this
6:18 am
morning, i looked up -- let's see, he said we will not rest until not one single veteran falls into homelessness. we will not rest before succeeding in generating jobs. i will not rest until we build an economy. i will not rest in our efforts to help people, on and on and on. he won't rest. he's made so many pledges. pledges are not going to do it, he won't rest. people need to be -- >> you're saying he's rested? >> i don't call all these golf outings resting. i know it's a lot of work to play that much golf. another hash tag won't do it, another promise i won't rest won't do it. people need to be held responsible and really, tucker, this is what some of us have feared for the rest of the nation. this is where socialized medicine goes. this is where obamacare is going, people on going on lists, the panel lists things, procedures you get or don't get at what ages.
6:19 am
>> right. >> this is where it all goes. but right now, it's happening to our nation's veterans. we made them promises and any nation that will not honor those, who honored it with their service, is not going to be a nation very long. this has to be investigated. people held responsible. >> right. >> and another hash tag won't do it. >> congress has the oversight rule here. what do you expect to do about it? >> we'll have hearings. but hearings won't be enough. we cannot fire those people. we cannot -- we don't have the executive branch role. >> right. >> i guess we could use it like the president uses our role. they have to be the ones that fire and hold criminally responsible those who may have been involved in criminal negligence. >> they've been reluctant to do that. >> look at benghazi. he wasn't going to rest and hillary clinton wasn't going to rest and they were going to find the people.
6:20 am
