>> [inaudible] if you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. >> there he is talking to his girlfriend. his players now protesting before last night's game. should sterling be forced to give up the team or what? >> a professor goes crazy lashing out at christians preaching on campus. >> i have read the newç testament [bleep] [inaudible] i want you to feel ashamed. >> so much for free speech. by the way, our show is free, and it's better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> i was in kansas city yesterday and barely got

out. there was a great big line of thunderstorms. you could see it rolling cross the plainsç states. they predicted it was coming. there was going to be an outbreak, and there was. >> we begin with an extreme weather alert. thousands waking up to what looks like a war zone after twisters slammed the midwest. you can hear the horrifying screams and sirens in the background. at least 16 people are dead in arkansas. this aerial video right here taken by a drone showing neighborhoods completely flattened. >> it looks like a bomb went off out there. >> maria molina is live on the ground in one of the hardest hit cities. that's mayflower, arkansas. tell us about the extent of the damage from which you can tell because the sun obviously not yet up.ç >> the storm hit just

before sunset so we were able to see some of the damage at that time. behind me you can see what used to be a home just completely destroyed. we have also just seen search and rescue crews back out searching through the rubble. when we arrived it was just a couple of minutes after the tornado hit mayflower, arkansas. we were tracking the storm. we were with storm chasers in the state of arkansas because we knew there was a high risk to see these long track tornadoes in this region. we saw a man being pulled from a car on interstate 40. a lotç damage out there. trailers destroyed, cars flipped like they were toys. homes completely destroyed. power lines down across the entire city. also we saw -- we smelled what was a gas leak. and in a distance we could see some fires burning at that time. people were trapped on interstate 40 and we did speak to a woman. listen to how she describes

her ordeal. >> we just seen a black cloud and we pulled over and then the wind came and broke our window and we flew. we pulled over because everyone else pulled over but we were already in the middle of it. >> there were also many other states impacted, arkansas being one of the hardest hit states. but in oklahoma we had one confirmed fatality and also a reported tornado, possible?xáornadoes as well across the state of nebraska and also western parts of missouri and also in the state of kansas. many reports of damaging winds. the storm system still on the move today and also into tomorrow. we do have today a risk to see severe storms from parts of northern louisiana up into the midwest. the storm prediction center which is a part of the national weather service issued something called a moderate risk, including parts of mississippi, alabama and tennessee. what that means, that ingredients there are favorable to see possibly more of these violent

storms that could produce some of theseç long-track tornadoes. please have a way to get those warnings out there again anywhere from louisiana into the midwest and here in arkansas a tornado watch still in effect this morning. over to you. >> maria molina live in mayflower with the latest. it was a long track. it was on the ground for 80 miles. at certain times it was a half a mile wide gobbling up whatever was in its way. >> you were there over the weekend. you being from the midwest, you understand the reality of it. >> it is something you live with. when i was going to the airport, the guy who was driving me said i hear we're going to have a whopper today. everybody was ready for it but you don't know until it drops out of the sky. >> you can never be fully prepared. >> you never get used to it, particularly in that area of arkansas. they were hit three years ago that devastated everything. >> let me tellç you what else is going on. i did sports radio in los

angeles and the clippers were never the top-five story. in los angeles. now not only has the story about the clippers owner surpassed the president's trip, the ukrainian's possible invasion by the russians, it is the number-one topic in america. it is all about their billionaire owner donald sterling caught on tape by tmz sports. i imagine they paid for it, but they got this track. they put this up. ever since you hear this, ever since these words came out in the public forum there has been outrage and it's so justifiable. listen to a little bit of it. this is the extended version of the conversation he had with his, i assume former girlfriend. >> do you know that you have a team that's black that plays for you. >> [inaudible] i support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. who gives it to them? does someone else give it

to them? do i know that i have -- who makes the game? do i make the game or do they make the game? is there 30 owners that create the -- >> that's where he had asked her to please take pictures of her posing with african-americans. in particular he was incensed he was posing wit magic johnson. i don't know that tmz paid for it, because the girl -- there she is screen right -- vanessa stiviano she's got an ax to grind because donald sterling's wife is suing her for $2 million because she says that girl right there took $2 million worth of community property. he apparently bought fancy cars and a place in new york city. according to tmz, he called her yesterday and said how do we make this all go

away? because apparentlyç we've only heard less than one hour of stuff. apparently there are 100 hours of this stuff. because apparently he asked her to tape him because he would frequently forget what he had said. it looks -- even though she says she didn't do it. it looks like she leaked it to tmz. now everybody is running with it. >> calling personal foul. lots to be decided what the penalty will be. magic johnson, as you mentioned, in that photo seemingly at the heart of the conversation that we heard. the players now are staying disciple lent with protests -- staying silent with protests. magic johnson and charles barkley strong with their response. >> there is no place in our society for it, our league. he put his own team in a tough situation. i believe that once

commissioner silver -- i was going to say stern. silver does his due diligence, gets all the information, gathers the information, he's got to come down hard. he shouldn't own a team anymore. >> we cannot have an nba owner discriminating against a league -- we are a black league, ernie. we are a black league. >> i don't think it has anything to do with it. it could be a white league. it could be an asian league. you can't have an owner whoç has an attitude like this, with beliefs like this. he has a bit of a history and the nba now has probably 24 hours tops to come out with a definitive decision or they might have a whole league revolt. >> the ball went out in silver's court. the union is asking him to make a decision before game 5. >> there's going to be big protests. al sharpton thinks he's necessary. he'll be protesting before game 2 on tuesday. >> the comments are

first off, weigh in, david webb. where do you think we should go from here? >> given that the nba is a private organization, they can do what they want. but we have to crush bigotry wherever it exists. doesn't matter who it comes from. there is a track record that goes back to 2003. there was a $5 million private lawsuit settlement. there was a lawsuit settled by the feds, $2.7 million, where they said it was the biggest settlement in their history. we have a commissioner, go back to the previous commissioner stern, who prosecuted discrimination cases in new jersey in his young years. what we have is money talks. the nba shouldn't put up with this. no one shoul"ç put up with this. >> if they don't come out strong, these players might collectively decide not to play the rest of the series. >> i don't think that's true. but mr. sterling has had an

exceptional record in supporting blacks and black causes. i met mr. sterling in 1983 in san diego where he reached out to the black community through the naacp ironically and curtis mooring to solicit black business. this statement that he made, i think it was a setup. if you listen to the tape, the young ladyç started out by saying i wish i could change the skin -- then she changed it and says the color of my skin. it sounds like a setup. >> how do you have a setup when someone says their own words. it is not someone put a gun to his head. >> that's not true. she continued to goad him and bring up race and make racist issues. >> how do i make you say what i want? >> there is a culture of blacks feel certain ways about latinos, latinos feel certain ways about

groups coming to our campus and this is the first time i've seen such a profound reaction from anyone, both professors and students. this is the first time i've seen a professor speak up against evalue general -- evangelicals. i think it is interesting to note in today's society there is an issue of whether or not we want to offend someone. but i think it is important to note freedom of speech is very important and we have a phenomenal university with phenomenal faculty and staff. however this one incident the professor did not hold u conn's values. >> we have a statement that says weç expect our faculty to act in a way of civil discourse and respect themselves professionally. the professor said this: many have seen a two minute video present #-d as a university professor gone april. it -- gone ape.

uncomfortable? >> i think that is something to look into. i think any student would be intimidated with any individual. i've encountered those evangelicals before and feltç intimidated. when you look up to those individuals, as an adult figure you listen more to what they have to say and kind of believe what they have to say. with the professor comments on darwinism, i think you feel obligated to feel like you need to listen to what they have to say. >> speaking on behalf of your own personal beliefs and the students have been speaking out as well, we want to thank you, mark sergeant uconn. congrats to the women's hoops team. a dangerous situation for police ph a bomb blows up in their faces. exactly what triggered that explosion. look at this. a father kicks his hesitant kid down a half pike. is this tough love or has

i have a better way of clearing up any confusion that activist judges have about the meaning of the second amendment. i would add these seven words at the end of the clause. the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. keep your hands off our gun, damn it. and then goat a big ovation. he's one law enforcement officer doing more than protecting you on the street. he's standing up for all our constitutional rights in milwaukee. sheriff clark joins us live this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning, how are you doing is this. >> i'm doing okay. what fired you up was justice john paul stevens of the supreme court suggested a change to the second amendment. he said he was going to add a couple of words to the second amendment so that it read like this: a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of

the people to keep and bear arms while serving in the militia shall not be infringed. it's that part where he would like to see while serving in the militia. you don't like that at all. >> not at all. that's not how we amend the constitution of the united states. i know that's what activist judges don't understand. i have a lot of respect for john paul stevens and anybody that serves on our nation's highest court. however, there is a process to amend the constitution and he's now citizen john paul stevens and as long as he's going to engage in political hijinks with the constitution, then anybody could coo that and i said i'm entitled to do that, too and my seven words to amend the constitution like his is no less valid than him doing it. that's not how we amend the constitution in the united states. >> after you made those comments, the mayor of milwaukee said that you were grand standing. what's your reaction to that?

>> well, that's typical of mayor tom barrett. his response of the crime and violence that's gone on in the county of milwaukee and in the city of milwaukee was to furlough all 1500 police officers three days each. so we have fewer man hours, if you will, to be spent in patrolling high crime areas. that's what we get from him. the county executive of milwaukee cut my budget nearly 16 million over two years and laid off sheriffs deputies. so basically what those two have communicated to the people of milwaukee county is that you're on your own when it comes to crime and violence. i'm responsible for the protection and i decided to partner with the law-abiding people in milwaukee county, who i trust to go armed with concealed and dangerous weapons. >> and sheriff, that's part of what rankles a number of democrats is you're a democrat. and you're talking about how people would be better able to forget themselves if -- protect themselves if a guy has a gun and another guy has a one

legally. >> first of all, survival is the first law of nature and the right of self-defense is a natural right. i think that public safety and i believe most people would agree it transcends partisanship. there is nothing about one's right in certain situations to defend themselves. so that's what i rely on. i have to see through all of that stuff. i put my hand on the bible and raised my right hand and said i would support the constitution of the united states and the constitution of the state that i reside in and i meant that for everybody in my county. >> keep your hands off of our guns, damn it. sheriff david a. clark, junior, joining us from milwaukee, thank you very much. >> it's my pleasure. >> it's our pleasure. thank you. 4 minutes before the top of the hour. straight ahead, should the nba team owner making racist comments be able to keep his job and the team as well? donald trump going to weigh in on that in a couple of minutes.

good morning. it's monday, april 28. we start with a fox news alert. horror in the heartland. shear devastation as tornadoes take out entire towns, dramatic rescues underway as a new threat bears down on the region. maria molina is live on the ground in one of the hardest hit areas. new racist recordings released from the owner of the l.a. clippers. >> if you want prove you're associating with black people. >> it was a private

conversation, so should he be forced to give up his team because of that? donald trump has something to say about it. >> meanwhile, valerie harper used to play rhoda on tv, sued for getting cancer. why a former co-worker is trying to cash in on her illness. it is disgusting. anyway, thank you for joining us on this monday morning. you're watching "fox & friends". >> i'm eric trump, dad, no matter what you say, you can't fire brian. >> brian, you're fired. >> he did it anyway. >> what the heck? how can he defy his favorite son, eric? it's unbelievable. in a matter of moments, donald trump live. >> got a lot to talk to him about. >> but we begin with an extreme weather alert. thousands waking up to what looks like a war zone after twisters slam the midwest.

>> you can hear the screams and the morning sirens in the background. at least 18 people are dead across three states on this monday morning. >> maria molina is live on the ground in one of the hardest hit city, mayflower, arkansas. we're hearing search cruise started looking for survivors. can you better assess the damage as the sun begins to come up? >> yeah. the sun is starting to come up. we can see that there is more damage now. what appears to be homes, it looks like metal. also mangled in some of the structures. so as the sun continues to rise, we will continue to assess the damage and yes, we did see search and rescue crews out early this morning already searching through the rubble. now we did fly out here to the plains because we knew conditions were ripe this weekend. we arrived here on late friday and through the day on saturday, through the day on sunday, we

looked for some of these storms that could potentially produce severe weather. the storm prediction center issued a high risk for arkansas and we watch on the radar as the storm started to produce some rotation and a tornado came downtown there was some debris we could see on the radar and came to mayflower and the tornado, unfortunately, came through this region as well. take a look at some of these aerial shots as the storm ripped through parts of interstate 40. a lot of damage has been left here across parts of mayflower. the storm also kept moving after this. we arrived here and did see search and rescue efforts already ongoing along interstate 40. people being rescued from their cars. also cars completely wrecked, trailers split. and some people describe the tornado as sounding like a train. take a listen at how one man describes his ordeal. >> i could see it forming across the lake and i come up to to get

my wife and she is looking out the front door and as soon as we got in the basement, it started going crazy. we was praying and thanking the lord to get us through it. >> now, arkansas not the only state hit hard by tornadoes. we have multiple reports of tornadoes across the plains states. one confirmed fatality in oklahoma and another confirmed fatality in the state of iowa. today the severe weather risk continues from louisiana up into parts of the midwest and there is a moderate risk issued across parts of mississippi, alabama, tennessee because more long-track tornadoes are possible as we head into the afternoon hours today and also into the night. let's head back to the studios. >> keep an eye on the sky. maria molina in mayflower, arc a -- arkansas. >> let's bring in donald trump, talk about the news of the day. donald, welcome back.

>> good morning. >> first off, the controversy. do you know donald sterling? have you met him? what's your take on these remarks? let's listen. >> do you know that you have a whole team that's black that plays for you? >> do i know? i support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. who gives it to them? does someone else give it to them? do i know that i have? who makes the game? do i make the game or do they make the game? is there 30 owners that -- >> so there he is. reportedly talking to his girlfriend, even though he's still married to a woman, shelly, talking to his girlfriend about how he should take down pictures where he is depicted on instagram where she's with african-americans. what do you think about all this? >> it's a terrible mess and the new commissioner who i hear is

fantastic guy from my daughter, ivanka, who knows him very well with jarrett, he says they're very good friends with him and say he's a fantastic guy. he'll make the right decision. it's a very tough situation for him. but i guarantee he'll make the right decision based on everything i hear. >> you're used to making tough decisions, important decisions. if you were mr. silver in charge, what would your decision be? >> i don't know that he has much choice. i think he'll probably have to do something where he's expelled from the league in some form. i don't know what the mechanism is to do that and maybe it's a very complicated mechanism, taking away somebody's property and somebody's team of the but i would imagine that they will probably do something that is some form of that. it's terrible. he got set up by a very bad girlfriend, let's face it. she's called the girlfriend from hell. but what he said was terrible, despicable and very strong

action going to be taken. no question about it. >> i'm looking at a lot of our e-mails that say it's a private conversation. clearly she was baiting him. do you fight something like this or do you just try to limit the damage in a situation like that? >> well, i don't know what you do. it's so bad. she was baiting him and she's a terrible human being and he gave horrible answers and disgusting answers and you're right, it's a private conversation, but it became very public. and it's a terrible thing for the league. i guess the commissioner is probably going to have to act very rapidly because this has become -- you have to hand it to tmz. they do get the scoop and harvey levin gets the scoop. this is a very, very sad story. >> according to tmz this morning, donald, it says apparently mr. sterling called his girlfriend and said hey, how do we make this go away. she said talk to my lawyer.

there are at least 100 hours of this guy on tape because apparently he told her, tape me because i'm forgetful and i want to remember what i had to say. that kind of sounds like part of a defense. i'm a little forgetful. i don't know what i'm doing. >> i think he could be out of it. frankly, based on his actions. he could be pretty much out of it in terms of his whole mentality. the whole thing is so crazy and the way she led him along, she should -- he should know if he were there, if he was with it, he would know after one or two of those questions that she was asking that there is something going on here. you look at the way he's being baited, just constantly being baited. i read part of the transcript and it was ridiculous. you sort of pick that up very quickly. so whether he's out of it or not, what he said was despicable and everybody i think agrees with that. i think probably very strong action is going to have to be taken by the commissioner.

>> right. you have the possible precedent when marge shot. told to sell the team. bartilow got in some trouble. maybe they'll give it to his wife. his wife says i don't have anything to do with those comments. maybe she's get not guilty position to own the team. in the big picture, she was about to get an naacp award, yet he's got this track record from baylor suing him with some problems he had with housing in 2005 and 2006 under discrimination lawsuits. is that a situation that they just looked to get the money from a rich person like it? >> you're constantly asked for money by every organization. there is no question about it. and i have it and every person with money has it. you're constantly asked. frankly, if you give money, all of@(háu"den would you like to receive an award? so i wouldn't put too much credence on that, to be honest

totally honest with you. i would say he is on tape and the tape is horrible and i don't think he's got an answer for it. there is really no answer. he seems close to incompetent. maybe that's his answer. he seems close to his answer. how could a guy say -- and how can he be led along by somebody that was so obviously looking to do harm to him? the commissioner will probably take extremely strong action. maybe the strongest action so far of any league ever. but this is really bad stuff. >> that's if the -- thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you very much. ten minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert is poised to give us the rest of the news. >> a remarkable story out of san francisco. two planes collided midair over the weekend in san francisco on their way back from a vintage erica car show. one of the planes crashes into a northern california bay below and the search continues for the pilot this morning.

the other plane was a vintage british fighter plane and that was able to safely land after it flew for 40 minutes to an airport. the other plane spiraled out of control and crashed into the bay. debris has been locatessed and it's presumed to be from the plane. they were on their way home from this air show when the accident happened. u.s. and european allies expected to step up sanctions on russia. president obama says the goal isn't to go after russian president vladimir putin personally, but to talk at the russian economy. >> we are going to be moving forward with an expanded list of individuals and companies that will be affected by sanctions. they remain targeted. we will also focus on some areas of high-tech defense exports to russia. >> the president adding it's unclear if the sanctions will be enough to get russia to back off

on ukraine. the full list of those targeted will be announced later today. broadway playright is suing valerie partnerrer for $2 million because she didn't tell him that she had cancer? the actress signed on to stay in a play. but when the disease spread to her brain, she had to drop out. she was on our show earlier this month talk being when she found out. listen to this. >> when i had this incident while i was rehearsing for a play that i was taking on tour. >> what happened? >> got numb in rehearsal in the studios and my husband thought i was having a stroke. >> harper then had to drop out of the production. she then sued the playright and the producers to get paid for it anyway. they filed a counter suit saying it cost them at least $500,000 to replace her on such short notice. listen to this story, a two-year-old little girl in minnesota is about to have life-saving kidney transplant from a stranger who read about

big shakeup in the immigration policy is in the pipeline. without congressional approval, the administration is weighing limiting the removal of immigrants living in the u.s. illegally. who do not have serious criminal records. listen. >> i am looking for ways to more effectively enforce and administer our immigration laws. i don't understand those who say we are not enforcing the law. we are enforcing the law every day. none of what i can do, however, is a substitute for action by congress. >> here is senator mike lee is among the 22 lawmakers who sent a letter to president obama regarding his immigration policy. he joins us now. welcome to the show. great seeing you. people say he has a deportation

record that's high. pressure on him to get them down. we're talking about changing the types of criteria for deportation. how do you feel about that? >> some of it depends on what his intentions are. if his intentions are to bring about policy changes, policy changes that he can't get through congress, that's a big problem. we have an elected house and an elected senate for a reason. those who make our laws are supposed to be accountable to the people at two-year intervals in the case of the house and six-year intervals in the case of the senate. when the president circumvents this, that causes problems. it throws the whole system off. >> so you're not even concerned about the content about the change he's going to make. the fact he's going to make changes without checking with you guys is disturbing, but not new. we've had six months of executive orders. >> disturbing, but not new and gets more disturbing every time. yeah, i am concerned about the content of it because the content of it will tell us a lot about what his intentions are. if he's trying to just make us

irrelevant, then yeah, we've got a problem. if all he's trying o do is say look, this is how i'm allocating scarce resources, that's something different. >> he's talking about if you came here multiple times, you violated the law, so we're not going to make a real effort to deport you. >> there is a difference between not making somebody a priority and saying to an entire group of people, don't worry about this law because we're going to leave it off the books. that's a problem. also a problem because it tells congress, hey, you don't really need to act here. it makes it less likely we get the kind of legislative reform we need out of congress because they feel like an unnecessary fifth wheel. >> you could argue deportations are down. the numbers don't lie. they dropped by 50,000 within the last year. so after being very high in 2012, not nearly as high in 2013. so the trend started might be coming official. i want to bring to you something else. speaker boehner last week in speaking locally in ohio started mocking republicans who don't want to do immigration reform.

it passed the senate and stopped in the house. he's looking to pressure and maybe get something done in august. you're feeling about that? >> i think the biggest reason why some of his colleagues in the house might feel that way is that they're being told, you've got to pass all of this gang of eight immigration bill, all 1200 pages of it, or you've got to pass nothing. people don't like to be told that because it's not a good way to go. i think most members of his republican conference in the house would be willing and in fact, eager to pass some sort of immigration reform, but it needs to be broken up and taken step by step, one step at a time. >> all right. senator lee, thank you for joining us. always great to see you in stood yet. coming up, curt warner and his wife know all about parenting and then some. the couple teaches us how to survive seven kids and still love each other. they're here next. from trading paint to trading punches, nascar race gets vie will not this morning. oh, yeah, they did race, too.

most parents. i screw things up like most fathers, i guess. >> do you admit that to them? >> oh, yeah. all the time. i usually don't have to admit it. they're usually telling me when i screwed up. but yeah, i think that's part of it is that we don't have it all figured out. but we love them, we make sure we spend time together. they love each other and together we figure out a way to balance it. >> you got great kids. >> that's what do you with your kids. brenda, this is a question for you. now that you're super bowl winning husband is retired, he's around the house all the time. >> all the time. >> how do you make sure at that being around the house all the time doesn't drive you crazy? >> i married up. i married a really good man that i love being with him. he treats me so well that it's phono have him around more to do that more often. >> having me at home, i can do all the work and she can relax now. >> i don't believe it for one second marks rein background here, i know what you're made of.

form and whether weather it will touchdown -- where it will touch down. but we had all the conditions in place. humid conditions, warm temperatures, and we had something called a dry line. some dry air pushing eastward. it's this interaction of different air masses and also wind shear in different levels of the atmosphere that produce these rotating storms that could produce these damaging tornadoes. that's exactly what happened here in mayflower, arkansas. the sun is rising. we're just getting our first glimpse of how extensive and devastating the damage is here in mayflower. we want to show you this dramatic new video because it's not just mayflower that was hit hard by these storms, but also in another town 50 miles to the northeast of little rock, in this new video you can see emergency crews rescuing a woman, her parents and her dog. her parents hid in a closet during the storm system as it moved through. and here in mayflower, we have

seen the destruction out here. we see homes that are completely destroyed, almost unrecognizable. cars that have been flipped, trailers that have been mangled. and when we arrived on interstate 40, we saw people being rescued from their cars. some people were able to seek shelter just in the nick of time. some of them receiving tornado warnings on their cell phones. take a listen at what a man had to say. >> my wife was at work, i had the baby with me. we jumped in the storm cellar on our phone. thank god we had the alert on our phone of the come out 15 minutes later and looked like a war zone. >> other parts seeing tornadoes, possible tornadoes in oklahoma, kansas, missouri, even up into parts of iowa and nebraska. so this was a very widespread event. today we could see more severe weather stretching from louisiana to the midwest and the biggest threat area is across

the senate in that building to republicans and our next guest is predicting some gop gains. how many? let's talk to dr. larry sabato. he's the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia and he joins us now with a look at his world famous crystal ball. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i know it's just april. i know it's early. but let's go ahead and look at what we know so far. in the state of arkansas, there was a poll out that showed mark pryor, he's actually leading representative tom cotton by ten points. but you say when it comes to that particular poll, you're a little suspicious. >> it's an outliar. neither side believes that poll. the arkansas race is very close and the incumbent, mark pryor action ho is a two-termer is well below 50%, which is where you want to be as an incumbent

he's a two-term senator, his father was governor and senator, no one is going to write him off. but cotton, the congressman s a strong republican opponent and president obama is in the low to mid 30s in arkansas, a state that turned sharply republican. >> you say the president's low poll rating attention would impact kentucky where right now it looks like senator mitch mcconnell is neck in neck with allison grimes. >> absolutely. look, april surveys are not worth very much. they are written in sand on the sea shore. they are not carved in granite. and the truth is, again, how do you get a democratic senator elected in a state that is deeply red where president obama's popularity is in the mid 30s? look, senator mcconnell has been around a long time. he was first elected in 1984. he's got a lot of bumps ask scrapes and he's made some gaffes this time of the but boy, he's got the atmospherics of

this 60-year election, this midterm election behind him. >> and you think that mcconnell ultimately will win in kentucky. let's go down to louisiana where senator mary landrieu has gotten a lot of bad publicity because she was marching in lock step with the president regarding obamacare and it's now it's deeply unpopular. how is that going to turn out? >> again, her major problem is barak obama and the fact that he is so unpopular in louisiana. i'll tell you, steve, i've watched mary landrieu since she was first elected in 1996. she has never gotten more than 52% of the vote, but she always wins. remember, this is a race that louisiana naturally has a system unlike anybody else's. they're going to have their first primary in november. we're going to have the real election in december, in december. the public will hate that. you and i are going to love it. but it also means that we're going to have a very different electorate in december and the

senate could be hanging on that one seat. >> or if it's hanging on north carolina, real quickly, the senator kay hagin is a democrat versus tom tellis, a republican, you think that will go which way? >> tom tillis has to win the primary. that's may 6, next tuesday. he's got two strong opponents. if he can get 40%, he can eliminate the opposition, not go to a runoff. he'll be in a much stronger position for november. >> so exit question, how many seats does the republican party pick up in the senate? take your best guess. >> the crystal ball, which you love, steve, right now has republicans picking up between four and eight seats. they need six to take control. it's right on the edge of the fence post. but it's late april. things will change before november. i guarantee you. >> that's right. and as you say, it could be a wave election and you don't see the wave until it's real close to the shore.

you're in for the time of your life. >> that's great. welcome aboard. "fox & friends" for this monday. over the weekend, i had flown out to kansas city to host the biggest fund-raiser for the university of kansas endowment. when i was there, they were talking about how there is going to be a really big storm tomorrow. they were already forecasting exactly when it did start. so this morning as we start the day and you hear about all this destruction, people did have warning. but it was thousands of miles. anywhere across any of this area could happen and last night the worst part did. it did happen, unfortunately. >> that's where we're beginning with the extreme weather alert as the sun comes up. new video of the damage left behind after twisters tear through the midwest. you can see entire neighborhoods destroyed. at least 18 people now are dead across three states. maria molina is live on the ground with one of the hardest hit city, mayflower, arkansas.

it's brighter now, the sun up. but i'm sure a devastating sting. what are you looking at here? >> yeah. we arrived here in mayflower, arkansas, shortly after the tornado tore through. at that time, there were search are rescue efforts going on, people being rescued from their cars because they were trapped there, interstate 40. now the sun is rising and the scene here is just devastating. there is destruction everywhere. one of the sights here that is also incredible is obviously some trees have been brought down, but some of the trees that are still standing have had some of the branches come off and there is metal pieces stuck on these trees. that's just an incredible sight that i've never seen and just gives you an idea on how powerful that tornado was that ripped through this area. some of the structures are unrecognizable. we can't tell whether they were homes or not. we have tractor-trailers behind

any^ have been tossed like toys by this tornado. so we are just seeing how extensive and how widespread the damage was by that tornado that was sent here in mayflower, arkansas. it wasn't just mayflower, arkansas, but center hill, another town to the north of little rock, a few miles away from where we are. a woman, her parents, and her dog were rescued. her parents hid in a closet. take a listen also at how a survivor described the storm when it moved through his area. >> we barely got down there and slammed the basement door and i said it's tearing stuff up. lucky we made it through with the lord, you know. we'll get through this. >> they barely got out alive from that storm. today the storm system on the move f louisiana up into the midwest. you could see more severe storms and it's this region across mississippi, parts of tennessee,

and also alabama where we are watching the potential for more long-track tornadoes and very violent storm systems. it's important to have a way to get those warnings today. as you can see from the images that we brought you, the worst did happen last night here in arkansas as the tornado moved through. over to you. >> all right. maria molina in the town of mayflower in arkansas. we thank you very much. when you live out there, you've got to have either a storm cellar or a basement or you've got to think like we just heard, somebody saved their life by being inside a closet. last case scenario, you hide in the bathtub. strongest thing in the house. >> maria, stay safe. a fox news alert. bret baier joins us. there is breaking news this morning. apparently one of the mayors in east ukraine was shot in the back by unidentified gunmen this morning of the what else do you know? >> this is the mayor of the

second largest city in ukraine, shot in the back. he's in surgery right now in critical condition. this is a situation that is getting more tense as we talk about it each day. today also comes with the u.s. and the e.u. moving forward with additional sanctions against russia. these sanctions are going to be targeted to a number of other people, individuals around vladimir putin. they won't target putin himself as of yet. it also goes ever high-tech exports and defense exports from russia. the question is will it make an impact? is it making an impact? so far there is not evidence that it is as you hear about these shootings and more troops along the border. the administration thinks over time it's going to hit russia where it hurts. >> we see that eight unarmed observers who do this normal process were captured and they want to be exchanged by these russian supporters for other people on their side. so we'll see where that goes.

on top of that, the sanctions could be so tough. as chronicled by the "new york times," the european industries are pressuring the governments not to take severe sanctions because they have all these billions of dollars worth of trade, especially in the energy sector. so germany, spain, italy and france are not doing anything about this because they don't want to be hit in the pocketbook. >> it affects all of these nations video. these countries do business with russia. we talked about many times the natural gas imports to russia that are really affected -- i mean from russia into europe that are really affected. that becomes a problem for initiating these sanctions. there is reporting about a break in the white house of whether to do it unilaterally or wait for everybody to speak in one voice. so far we're waiting for everybody to speak in one voice. >> we also heard the president mention that there was -- seemed limited, but high-tech assistance being sent into the region. what can you tell us about that? >> it's interesting.

they haven't obviously sent any weapons into the region, but there could be some communication devices, some communications equipment that is going to the ukrainians. they are drawing the line there will not be military assistance and lethal weapon assistance to the ukrainians. the president in the philippines in this press conference was asked by ed henry about his foreign policy and about being defensive. >> the obama doctrine. >> yeah. he said listen, we have singles. we hit singles sometimes, baseball analogy. sometimes we hit doubles, but don't make errors. his critics are using another analogy. the football analogy that when a team is ahead and they have prevent defense, oftentimes the other team scores. they're saying that our team isn't ahead, but we are in the defensive stance and so it's interesting to see how it's playing here in washington. >> way to go, bret, because that counted as sports for this half

hour. >> thanks a lot. appreciate it. >> get kilmeade out of there. >> we'll be watching you tonight, 6:00 p.m. eastern time. bret baier will have the news of the day, then talk to three smart people around a panel, two segments and then end with something funny. we've seen the show before. we'll be watching. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> see you. heather nauert is standing by. >> good morning to all. got some news now. there is a frantic search underway after two planes collide in northern california and one of the pilots goes missing. both planes were on their way back from a vintage air and car show. one plane, an old british fighter plane, was carrying a husband and a wife, but it was able to eventual leeland safely 40 miles away. the other plane crashed into the water off san francisco. we'll keep watching as the search goes on. another search is underway off the coast of florida for a

cruise ship passenger who went overboard. this happened 27 miles east of dell ray beach, florida. 30-year-old james miller of charleston, south carolina, reportedly jumped over the railing of a bahamas cruise ship early yesterday morning of the the ship was returning to its home port at the time. air and boat crews are look for him and the f.b.i. is investigating. newly released video shows the moment the captain of the south south korean ferry abandoned ship and left hundreds on board that ship to die. he was one of the very first to get off that ferry as it was sinking. rescuers say other crew members who were pulled to safety did not reveal their identities. all 15 members have been arrested of that crew. divers are still searching again today for 114 people who remain missing. 188 have been confirmed dead. brian, here is a story for you. you may have heard this one. george clooney is engaged. who is the woman?

she's an international lawyer from oxford and she also went to nyu. she speaks three languages and specializes in human rights extradition and crime law. one of her clients is the founder of wikileaks, julian assange. last summer you may remember this one, george clooney said he had no aspirations to be married with kids. so how did she change his mind? apparently she played hard to get with him. she turned him down twice before she ever agreed to go on a date with him. friends say clooney got hooked because she treats him like a normal guy. those are your headlines. >> steve r is the wedding going to be? >> i don't know. you mean in a steve wynn hotel? >> he'd be gambling after what steve wynn and george clooney had to say last week. thank you very much, heather. straight ahead on this monday, a teen-ager accused of murdering his high school crush

christopher plaskin accused of stabbing to death the girl on the day of her prom. could he be charged as an adult and could the school be held responsible? here to discuss is peter johnson, jr. >> this is a tragedy of great proportion. he will be charged as an adult. the arraignment is scheduled today. but he is being held in a psychiatric ward for evaluation and can be held up to 15 days in the state of connecticut. in this kind of murder charge, he will be tried as an adult. >> grossly devastating to this family. to understand this man here, this young man, what did the school know? we keep hearing students say he seemed funny and fine of the but we're finding out more. >> that's critical question. we saw that in the columbine tragedy and disaster and that wound up resulting in a lot of lawsuits being brought against the school district in terms of

what their knowledge was, what they told the other students and their families about the students and their predisposition to violence. we're now finding out based on new reports that christopher suffered from depression, in the eighth grade that he had been involved with cutting himself, that he had received medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and that he had sought the counsel and friendship of his victim who was an incredibly sweet and talented young woman, a class president, musical star, a manager of teams. and he was on various teams, including the football team, but didn't play in the past year. so there is an issue as to the status of the alleged assailant in this case and there is always an issue what did the police know? what did the local school officials know? you pointed out to me earlier that he had visited the school

counselor that week. so we don't know if that was an innocent visit or something more serious. >> if indeed they did know something, if on that wednesday when he met with the counselor the school had information and did not do anything about it, what's the level of culpability? >> it's an interesting one. unfortunately for parents, there is an immunity in most states that attaches to their conduct, meaning they can walk away based upon what they know or didn't know or did or didn't do. and so that will be thrashed out legally. parents in some states also have liability for the conduct of their children based upon what they knew. at this point, it becomes a really horrific issue as to how do we deal with children who might have some mental disease? how do we deal with children that might have the propensity tore violence? on a personal level, the tragedy

and great -- can you imagine being the parents of this beautiful young girl? >> brutal. >> on this monday morning that she was there on a friday and that she is stabbed to death in a hallway at school at 7:00 o'clock on a friday morning. the tragedy is immense and there is so many emotions, i'm sure, that both sets of parents endure on this morning. the legal system will move on. there is no death penalty in the state of connecticut at this time. but he, in fact, will be tried as an adult. was he suffering some mental disease or defect? time will tell. he's got some good lawyers and i'm sure that they'll be putting that up on the table in this case. >> thank you for bringing us some clarity to this otherwise just -- you can't even wrap your head around something so brutal. >> good to see you. next up, so much for cutting costs. billions in perfectly good ame e pentagon? plus, coming up, new hidden

>> what are our alternatives. you're saying if you're shopping, walk past this. don't get it. go to something else. >> i don't want you having it every day. here is what we do. take a little bit of popcorn like this, get a brown paper bag, pour the popcorn in there. then fold over the edge two or three times. you can't staple it. you lay it like that in the microwave. turn it up and let it go. when it stops popping, you'll hear it popping. then it will look like this. >> really? 'cause i use that metal thing. >> i prefer that, too. >> if you have one of these -- >> you should write your name on that. >> then spray a little bit of canola oil after you're done. after a few minutes, you got the exact same product where you haven't had any of the contaminate products and it

costs pennies. it's cheaper and safer. >> what about jiffy pop? >> please. this is what i'm dealing with. >> you got a little baby in the family and what is a baby going to call you? >> they call me pop and my wife lolly. she's like cotton candy. >> you are talking about daphni, your daughter, who once upon a time was the "fox & friends" intern. >> she got her start here. believe it or not, this team educating her. one last thing, i had a big trip to san diego last week. if you google my name, you immediately get spammed with my name. using not just my names but other names. we busted them. >> so you went to san diego? >> it's fascinating to see how the guys ran like rats. i left the business card on the

guy's lambourghini. >> he made a lot of money off of you illegally. >> no, off you, because he's getting people to give them hard earned money to sell them fake products. >> this is dr. oz, the bounty hunter, that's another spinoff series. >> steve that, -- is that done? >> it came off fantastic. >> look at that. just like new. >> we use an air popper at our house. >> that's what i use as well. and i add a little brewer's yeast to it with a little butter. but if you're at work, this paper bag works. >> all right. you got to do your show. >> i'm coming to join you on your radio show. >> that will be great. >> fantastic. meanwhile, 28 minutes after the top of the hour. the fire storm of controversy after the owner of the l.a. clippers was caught saying this.

we have been following an extreme weather alert all morning long. thousands waking up to what is looking like a war zone after killer twisters slammed the midwest. >> you can hear screaming in the background and right there sirens as well. at least 18 people are dead in three states, oklahoma, iowa,

and arkansas and now we're just starting to see the extent of the damage as the sun comes up. mayflower, arkansas, maria molina is right now. we're hearing the death toll is expected to rise as search crews are looking through the rubble. how bad is the damage? >> the damage is just terrible. it goes for as far as our eyes can see. we can see what used to be structures. they're unrecognizable now. what used to be homes, people's belongings now just laying outside of what used to be their homes. we have metal inside of trees. we have tractor-trailers that were flipped upside down and tossed around like toys. we arrived here a few minutes after the tornado hit and it was chaotic at that time. people were being rescued out of that time. it smelled like a gas leak outside and we saw fires in the distance and also have aerial views now of the path of the storm. these are from a drone.

you can also see all of the destruction and devastation that this tornado caused through this region. take a listen at how a survivor described the storm. >> me and my wife were laying there watching tv and the lights flickered and next thing we knew, we heard a bunch of hollering going on outside and walked outside and there were trees down and the houses across the street were gone. >> arkansas being one of the hardest hit states, but oklahoma was also hit hard. one confirmed fatality there and a possible tornado. possible tornadoes also reported across the rest of the plains states, including places like kansas, missouri, nebraska, and even up into iowa. today the storm system continues on the move and anywhere from louisiana up into the midwest, you could be seeing severe weather and the storm prediction center has issued a moderate risk. so we could be seeing some more long-track tornadoes, some of the tornadoes that could stay on the ground for a longer period of time and very violent

storms. so that's what we're loong at. the greatest risk area, including parts of tennessee, mississippi, alabama. you need a way to get those warnings today, especially during the afternoon and evening hours here in mayflower, arkansas. unfortunately, the tornado did touchdown and we also have reports that it touched down in other areas, or possible other tornadoes here across arkansas and national weather service crews will be heading out and surveying the damage and estimating how powerful these storms were in terms of wind speeds. steve, elisabeth, brian? >> allall right. maria molina live in mayflower, thank you very much. right now the early estimates are at least 150 people are waking up this morning, their houses are simply gone. >> wow. it's unbelievable. so that is the top story which we've been covering. on another note, a new story that covers sports and news. we're talking about the owner of the l.a. clippers. of recent years, the clippers turned it around. donald sterling was known as the owner that was comical and how bad he was and how he used to

underspend for the team. the junior partner to the los angeles lakers. now that team emerged as the dominant team as the lake divorce gone by the wayside. a lot of public has flocked to them now running from them after this tape emerged of a conversation that he had with his i assume former girlfriend. if this is indeed donald sterling's voice, he is in a lot of trouble this morning. listen. >> if you want to broadcast it to your associating with black people, you have to and be saying >> that black person was magic johnson. >> exactly. everyone from former players to the president speaking out about this, here is extended comments when donald sterling apparently was also taped with a racist rant. >> do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that

plays for you? >> do i know? i support them and given them food and clothes and cars houses. >> initially the girlfriend's attorney said, i didn't leak the tape. tmz is reporting that apparently mr. sterling contacted the girlfriend -- brian, i think i'm with you probably now former girlfriend -- and he said how do we make this go away? that is the image on instagram that drove him crazy reportedly. there is magic johnson, there is a girlfriend screen right. the woman on screen left is a friend of the girlfriend. what's interesting, keep in mind, this was a private conversation he was havingment she apparently record it, he

asked her to because apparently he was forgetting what he had said. so there are, according to tmz now, at least 100 hours of him talking. so now the league is going to try figure out what to do about this behavior. what's interesting is a couple of former professional basketball players have already weighed in presuming that it was indeed mr. sterling. >> there is no place in our society for it. there is no place in our league. to put his own team in a tough situation. so i believe that once commissioner silver does all his due diligence, get all the information gather the information, we got -- he's got to come down hard. he shouldn't own a team anymore. >> we can not have an nba owner discriminating against a league that -- we're a black league,

ernie. we are a black league. >> i don't know what that has to do with it. you could say baseball is a mostly white league. it doesn't matter. the comments are -- a lot of people are writing saying, what about what charles barkley said? forget that. but bottom line is, i don't know where he's coming from with that because regardless of how many african-americans are in your league. but i would say this, if you got to look what's going to happen to him, someone made comments about hitler, told to sell the team. another one owned the san francisco 49ers, they said you're out. the family can still own the team. i'm wondering if they'll do that with sterling because his wife went out of the way to go to the game in oakland yesterday and gave comments offcamera saying that's not how i feel. our number one priority is this team. >> the team will have tough sedations to make. and the commissioner said to be really under a lot of pressure to make a decision before gave 5. kevin johnson, the players union, asking him really trusting him to ask that sterling no longer attend any of

the playoff games the rest of the season and that the union would like them to partner with them in terms of this investigation. >> we don't know if he's going to lose the team. but we do know he will not be named 2014's naacp man of the year. despite the fact that he has a racial history, they made him man of the year. also something that is not being reported by -- i haven't seen this anywhere else, is this donald sterling has supported and donated to liberal democrats for many, many years. now you know the very latest on what's going on with the clippers and their controversy. >> that's right. many people saying things, the clippers themselves, silent protests, turning their jerseys inside out. now heather nauert has headlines. >> this is a story we've been following throughout the morning. new york congressman michael glenn is under arrest. he was arrested just before 7:00 a.m. this morning and taken to f.b.i. headquarters in new york city. grim, a republican, is facing

federal charges connected to a restaurants business that he was involved with before he was elected to congress in 2011. the charges are expected to be announced at a press conference later this morning at 11:00 o'clock. it's unclear if prosecutors will expand the charges to involve grimm's campaign activities. we'll watch this story. a broadway playright is suing valerie harper for $2 million because she didn't tell him that she had cancer. the actress signed on to star in a play. when the disease spread to her brain, she was forced to drop out. she was on our show earlier this month talking about her reaction when she found out. listen to this. >> then i had this incident while i was rehearsing for a play that i was taking on tour. >> what happened? >> got numb. i was having trouble -- >> while you are on stage? >> no, no. i was in rehearsal and my husband thought i was having a stroke. >> harper had to drop out of the production. she then sued the playright and the producers to get paid.

they filed a countersuit saying it cost them at least $500,000 to replace her on such short notice. look at this video, a baby water buffalo almost becomes a lion's lunch, but mom stepped in just in time. take a look at this. oh, yeah. don't mess with mama. this happened in south africa at a game park. the baby buffalo was roaming around the cars when a hungry lion starts to stalk it. the buffalo's mom ran in to scare off the lion just in time. what to you think of this? tough love or over the line? a florida dad caught on video kicking his young son off a skate ramp. now the department of children and family is looking into it. take a look. poor kid. the dad was apparently trying to teach his son how to ride down a

halfpipe at a skate park in florida. he wouldn't budge. that's when the dad decided to kick him in the back. the boy is heard crying as the dad walks offment fortunately, the boy was not hurt. we are getting in a lot of responses on this. what are you hearing from folks? >> too many to mention. we're overwhelmed by the response. >> some think the dad did him a service helping him out, taking the big leap of the but at the same time, the kid didn't skate down, he fell down. >> i would be afraid to go down there. >> it gives me goose bumps right there looking at that. >> all right. meanwhile, 17 minutes before the top of the hour. here is one of the e mails. pat says that boy will never trust his dad again. the dad proved he can not be trusted with his child's safety. >> strong statement there. mary ann see it is different, saying we should push our kids past their fears within reason, of course. but i don't see a problem here. >> keep them coming. coming up. >> dozens of veterans died waiting for care in a v.a. in a

arizona. congressman has proof it never should have happened and he joins us live next he was a matted mess in a small cage. so that was our first task, was getting him to wellness. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. from contractors and doctors to dog sitters and landscapers, you can find it all on angie's list. we found riley at the shelter, and found everything he needed at angie's list. join today at angieslist.com woman: this is not exactly what i expected. man: definitely more murdery than the reviews said. captain obvious: this is a creepy room. man: oh hey, captain obvious. captain obvious: you should have used hotels.com. their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there. instead of people who lie on the internet. son: look, a finger. captain: that's unsettling. man: you think? captain: all the time. except when i sleep. which i would not do here.

they are our nation's heros and our nation has let them down. reports that a phoenix, arizona veterans affairs health care system let at least ho veterans did -- 40 veterans die by putting them on a secret waiting list, delaying medical care and treatment. some of them never got it. joining us is the congressman who is calling for an investigation by the inspector general and who says this is just the tip of the iceberg. we're talking to the chairman of the house committee on veterans affairs, congressman jeff miller. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> that is a staggering number. 40 american veterans may have died because they were waiting for the v.a. to call them up and they never did. >> it's sad in phoenix, but the facts are there have been 23 deaths that occurred across the country at places like

pittsburgh and memphis, tennessee, and some other v.a. medical centers, columbia, south carolina and augusta, georgia. 23 veterans and of course you come to phoenix and get a number that's approaching 40. we're still digging into it to find out exactly what happened. >> sure. and we need to point out, there are thousands of people who work for the v.a. and they do great work. but at these particular facilities, the one in phoenix in particular, they apparently had two lists. one was a list where people gave their names and some of those people were on the list for close to two years. then there was the official list that they put in the computer where when they were within two weeks, then they put them on to make it look like they were an efficient operation, which is it wasn't. the demands for efficiencies like that must have come from the top, right? >> well, it certain certainly is a management issue and i think what you have here is somebody trying to get a bonus by showing good numbers and, unfortunately,

that hurt our veterans. i've got bill that i filed last year that basically gives the secretary a mandate that says no bonuses for five years to the senior executive level. it's easier to get a bonus in v.a. than it is to get disciplined right now. >> that's a sad indictment. do you trust that the administration will follow through and get to the bottom of this or are you worried of stonewalling as we have seen in other government agencies? >> steve, they have stonewalled us for a long time. we've known about the preventible deaths for about a year. this particular two-list issue arose late last fall. we asked for an inspector general to begin to investigate after we had a hearing a couple weeks ago, i wrote a letter to the inspector general on the 9th, actually, of april and he is now in the process of investigating what's going on. we've heard about this for quite some time. dr. foot, who is one of the whistle blowers, has been trying to run it up the chain for a

long time. >> let's hope they get to the bottom of it. good luck with the investigation, congressman. >> thank you, steve. >> all right. despicable. ten minutes before the top of the hour. media matters founder david brock now admits working with reporters to further their liberal agenda. we're going to hear from him next. first let's check in with bill hem tore hear what's happening on the channel in ten minute. >> how are you doing? happy monday. we have this break news. violent weather ripping across the country. that severe weather is not over yet. a mayor is shot in ukraine as president obama announces more sanctions against moscow. what will republicans do on obamacare? a bit of confusion on this. what's the truth? senator rob portman will answer that. a ten-year-old boy who sang his way to freedom. you'll meet him. mar this and i will see you in ten minutes on a monday packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it's what you need for that extra boost!

welcome back. for years we've been telling you about this organization based down in washington, d.c. called media matters. their intent is to destroy fox news, among other things. clearly they've got a political agenda. what's interesting is it was about a week or two ago, sheryl atkissson who for years worked at cbs said media matters had actually contacted her and helped her produce some of her segments on cbs, which is extraordinary for cbs to be taking the stuff, propaganda, from this way lefty outfit. media matters founder david brock was on cnn yesterday, was asked about whether or not they do indeed work with media outlets. here is what he had to say. >> so you're saying ump a diverse -- you have a diverse

number of donors, but all have the same liberal politics at heart? >> sure. i think their interest is in honest journalism and a fair debate and i think we think and i think our donors believe that the vast majority of cases, if people get accurate information rather than misinformation, that's going to serve the progressive cause, sure. we're open about the fact that we are a liberalthat doesn't mee wrong. >> so they do coordinate and give the information to main stream media outlets and i remember daily caller's story a year or two ago that said they coordinated with the white house. i really think that given the fact that sheryl atkissson has said that she worked with media matters, cbs really should come out and tell us how many stories on cbs's air and nbc and abc did media matters have their political fingerprints on. >> sure. >> that would be fair. >> go through one by one because she said, quote, they did try to

help me produce my stories at some point. >> and keep in mind, also media matters gets tax exempt status to try to run us out of business. >> interesting. >> they say they're a watchdog. they're really an attack dog. just saying. we got a couple more minutes left. we'll be back in two minutes play in it. work in it. go wild in it. do everything but wrinkle in it. the perfect fitting no-iron effortless shirt in 4 styles and 31 colors and prints. visit the shirt boutique, only at chico's and chicos.com.
