3:02 am
we've got a very, very busy day. it's just like monday all over again because of the weather. >> thanks for being with us this morning. an extreme weather alert. a second wave of killer storms taking aim in the south. >> we've got to get out! >> let's go! >> at least 11 deaths reported across !51ñ mississippi, tennessee this morning. homes ripped to shreds leaving countless people homeless. the account of the devastation is staggering. >> maria molina is live on the ground in tupelo, mississippi. maria, tell us what you see there. >> reporter: good to hear from you. 11 people were killed overnight in alabama, tennessee and mississippi. that brings the total from the past two days of this multiday severe weather outbreak to 28. 28 people killed by these killer storms. here in tupelo, the damage is extensive.
3:03 am
as you can see behind me, what used to be a gas station almost unrecognizable. just a pile of rubble and twisted metal. across tupelo we've seen car windows smashed, a lot of power lines down. we've also seen roofs torn off buildings. when weç arrived last night at about 11 p.m. we could smell the strong smell of a gas leak. we spoke to the mayor about that. take a listen. >> the gas lines are the major concern of the storm damage that has released natural gas lines through the neighborhood. crews have been working nonstop all night long. they have made progress. i don't know that they're 100% completed but they're making progress. >> the governor of mississippi, phil bryant, arrives at 9 a*plt to survey the damage. otherç areas hit hard across mississippi is louisville,
3:04 am
mississippi. look at the incredible video storm chasers captured of that tornado. >> a big tornado! right there. there it is! >> athens, alabama, roofs torn off buildings there. today the storm system continues to move eastward and we have a risk for severe weather stretching across parts of the southeast up into the midwest. this is a very widespread area and the national weather service issuing a moderate risk again today. we could see more tornadoes that stay on the ground for a longer paoefrd -- period of time.ç violent storms right here in mississippi and alabama for the second day in a row here. this is the third day of our multiday severe weather outbreak. please stay safe out there. let's head over to you in new york. >> maria molina live in tupelo, mississippi, where
3:05 am
she reported 11 killed overnight in twisters. >> we continue to focus on what's happening with the weather, and that's the continuing story. we're going to have a next chapter in the saga revolving around the los angeles clippers and their owner and the 81-year-old's controversial comments that leads one to believe that he has a problem with theç african-american race. we also know as we mentioned yesterday, not only is there this one-hour tape out there, there could be a hundred separate tapes of donald sterling, the owner of the clippers, talk nag way which will make him look according to reports even worse than the tapes released already by tmz sports. today at 2:00 eastern time it will be announced. what shall happen to the owner of the clippers after those remarks. people all across the country are waiting. and afterwards they'll take action, whether it's the players deciding not to play or sponsors deciding not to take part.
3:06 am
whether it's the fans deciding to stay home. >> the clippers have 57 wins. >> most successful season. >> ever, going into the playoffs with a tie right now, set to play again. decisionç about to made. who is the enemy? the racist comments by their owner as proven by the tapes allegedly out there. everyone's sponsors are backing out. state farm, virgin america said they are supporting the team but not. car max out, doesn't align with their values in terms of what they heard. this is what metaworld peace had to say. >> you can go into somebody's pockets, you can do all those types of things but in reality do those things hurt? hate versus hate, did it ever help in america? no. iç say he needs to go get help. let him be, go get help and become unracist. >> he needs help according to the former ron artest
3:07 am
known as metta world peace. yesterday we were talking about if it is his voice on those tapes he would be in trouble. apparently attorneys for the nba went over to the girlfriend's attorney's office yesterday, listened to the 15 minutes that have been released so far out of that first hour and said pretty much, yes, that's him. however, the big question is how hard are they going to come down on him? mark cuban, who knows a thing or two about owning a team, said this. >> there's no excuse for anybody to support racism. there is no place for it in our league. but, you know, it's a very, very, very slippery slope. you know, ifç it's about racism and we're ready to kick people out of the league, okay. then what about homophobia? what about somebody who doesn't like a particular religion? what about somebody who's antisemitic.
3:08 am
>> let us know what you think about that. is it a slippery slope or a path to more acceptance? >> speaking of a slippery slope our secretary of disaster -- i mean secretary of state, john kerry, really angered a lot of people when he said behind closed doors to a room fullç of influential world leaders, he said israel is at risk of becoming an apartheid state. we've got a little clip of it. it's kind of hard to hear but that's what he said. listen. >> i heard [inaudible] apartheid states [inaudible] a state that destroys -- >> he said those remarks and it began to resonate written by the press in israel. now the word has gotten out. you'll hear his reaction. when there was backlash he
3:09 am
pointed to the partisan reaction to his comments. how do you explain this tweet from barbara boxer, who is a democrat? israel is the only democracy in the middle east and anyç linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. >> this backlash is bipartisan. aligning with the time when they spent the weekend and a day remembering the holocaust, it seemed to jab a knife into the heart of those in israel. this is rush limbaugh. >> who again are the anti seplites? not these guys. these are the tolerant oées, the democrats, john kerry, the leftists. a dangerously absurd thing to be saying. the people that think something like that is
3:10 am
going to inspire and fuel and give impetus to? you're talking about painting a target. supposedly israel is our ally. it doesn't look like that from sitting here anymore. it certainly doesn't look like israel is our ally with this bunch. >> let's get this straight. there would be a piece process continuing if hamas and the palestinian authority didn't combine, and hamas's sole reason for existence is to wipe out israel. they're not talking about recognizing that country. not one person would be criticizing this administration, i don't think, in a time in the middle east where egypt is about to explode again, syria hasç 170,000 dead. there was no call to jam down the throats of both sides this peace agreement that he dreamed up. >> john kerry stepped in, if he had a do-over he probably wouldn't say it again because barack obama himself in the past has said apart not apply to israel. >> he did in 2008, i

son and daughter went missing while they were on a hike. they were last heard from on saturday. kimbler texted a friend the main concern is they do not have food or water. wishing them the best. >> the terror mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center also set his sights on london. fattad who is testifying in another trial said khalid sheikh muhammad pulled out an almanac and krofd out -- crossed out the twin towersç and started looking for another target. >> there is a blimp that broke free during a hockey tournament in new brunswick, canada. pilots flying in the area

unfortunately another extreme weather alert for you. deadly tornadoes slamming across the south, and this storm chaser had a very close call with one of them. take a look at this. >> oh god! please make it pass! please make it pass! >> wow. amazing. he did make it out okay, but the storm system went on to kill 11 people in alabama, mississippi and tennessee. >> maria molina is live on the ground in tupelo, mississippi. maria, what are you seeing there? we're seeing such heartbreak and devastation. >> reporter:ç absolutely,
3:33 am
heartbreak and devastation and now the death toll rising to a total of 28 people killed by a multiday severe weather outbreak. when we arrived here in tupelo, mississippi, last night we could smell the strong smell of a gas leak as well. we spoke to the mayor about 30 minutes ago about that. he said crews have been working all night and making progress on repairing those lines. they have a very difficult task ahead of them due to how extensive the damage is here. behind me you can see what used to be a gas station reduced to a pile of twisted metal and rubble. across the city of tupelo we've also seen carç windows shattered, cars tossed, roofs blown off buildings and power lines down. one survivor in tupelo who was driving to work when the tornado hit described how powerful the wind was. take a listen. >> everything was flying. the roofs, metal, woods,
3:34 am
everything was like wide. >> reporter: people are starting to dig through the rubble in tupelo that was once their home. in pearl, mississippi, another hard-hit area by these storms, mobile homes were tossed and destroyed. in kimberly, alabama, a firehouse was blown apart by strong winds. the storm system is a very slow mover. we expect more strong storms today stretching from parts of mississippi includingç right here in tupelo, mississippi, and that stretches farther north into the midwest. the storm prediction center issued a moderate risk. this is an issue for the third day in a row from the storm system that includes parts of mississippi and alabama. those are areas that could see some of those long track tornadoes, meaning tornadoes that stay on the ground for a long period of time. we have all the conditions ripe for severe weather. very humid air mass here. we have very warm temperatures ahead of the storm and a lot of wind sheer. that means these

wide-ranging search for companies to run the on-line exchange program. the feds say they are particularly interested in hiring small businesses owned by women or disabled veterans. of course this would be a stark contrast to c.g.i. federal, that's the company blamed for the botched obamacare rollout. a new contractor would take over when the current contract expires next year. we'll keep you posted. dozens of students at rutgers university occupy the president's office and are protesting the school's decision to invite condoleezza rice to speak at graduation.ç rutgers is paying her $35,000 for the appearance but some say they are outraged because of her role in the iraq war. so far the university says rice is still invited. you may remember this. two years ago the school paid $32,000 for snooki to offer students these choice words: study hard but party harder. a crazy carjacker

you can pay the bill, too. but don't worry about that right now. okay. how do i look? ♪ thanks. [ male announcer ] troubleshoot, manage appointments, and bill pay from your phone. introducing the xfinity my account app. it's the world. you go to israel, the blacks are treated like dogs. >> do you have to treat them like that too? >> the white jews, there's
3:54 am
white jews and blacks. do you understand? >> are the white jews less than the white jews? >> 150%. >> what are your rights when it comes to something you say in private as that was? here to weigh in, fox news legal senior judicial analyst andrew napolitano. judge, what do you think? >> it is a very complex case. we start with a couple of basics. this was recorded in his home, in theç privacy of his own home. this was done in california. california requires bilateral consent. not only the person recording, but the person speaking. it was an illegal recording, couldn't be used in a court of law against him. that is one side of this. the other side of this is when he bought the l.a. clippers he signed the standard nba owners agreement which requires that he comport his private behavior consistent with the best interest of the team and the nba. so this behavior, although it's extremely private and although the recording was
3:55 am
illegally done, is hardly in the best interest of the nba or the clippers. and so he can be punished for it in a way that the government couldn't punish us, the nba can punish him. i think the punishment will be severe because the outcry has been severe. >> how about how they got the tapes? does that matter? if he doesn't know he wasç taped, would that matter? >> that would matter in a court of law if these tapes would become part of litigation. if he were to sue the person who taped him, whoever it was, i don't think that matters to the nba. the nba's agreement is secret. i tried to see it. they won't let me. but i have a general idea of what's on it from seeing similar agreements with other professional entities that don't keep them secret. >> more developing on that. the supreme court set to side on whether or not a cell phone can be takenç upon stopping somebody.
3:56 am
>> searching without a warrant. >> whenever i'm with brian i say brian keep your cell phone with you and the battery with you because i want president obama and the n.s.a. to hear everything we have to say. kidding about that. these guys were drug dealers and the police took their cell phones and accessed them, got in, got the pin number or the password and extracted all kinds of information. on the basis of that information prosecuted them for another charge for which they were arrested. the other charge is serious. murder. convicted of murder. now the supreme court has to decide, when the police stop you for jaywalking or bank robbery and you have a cell phone on you can they take it without a warrant? you've got to explain to a judge why you think there is evidence of a crime in there. you can't go on a fishing expedition. >> what if it is time
3:57 am
sensitive? >> the police would know if it's time sensitive because here they were search for whatever they managed to find. >> thanks, judge. still ahead, secretary of state john kerry warning israel that they could become an apartheid state. his comments are spas[ing bipartisan outrage. should he resign? we report. we report. you decide. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18

4:01 am
this age-old debate that raged on in our control room for years may have been put to rest. we'll explain that straight ahead. thank you for joining us on this tuesday morning 'cause mornings are better with friends. >> we're boys 2 men, you're watching "fox & friends." >> we have people in the control room, one producer thinks it is a sport. the other person thinks that's laughable. it's. >> that's a great debate. >> they shall remain nameless. >> unless we decide to name them. >> good luck on that. >> first things, we got to get serious. for the last 48 hours, we've been covering the extreme weather down south and the midwest. >> it's impacting a loft you watching right now. a second round slammed the south last night, leaving at least 11 people dead this morning. >> big, big tornado right there!
4:02 am
there it is! >> this as we see incredible new images of devastation. this showing a woman in mississippi hugging her dog after she found it alive near her destroyed home. >> maria molina has been live on the ground. she's in mississippi. what are you seeing is there? this is so heart breaking. >> it is so heart break. the sun is starting to rise and we're starting to gets some of the first glimpse of the damage here. it's so extensive and heart break. storm chasers captured the tornado on video and had a very close call with it. >> oh, god. please, make it pass. please, make it pass. >> that tornado hit here in
4:03 am
tupelo leaving behind extensive damage as you can see. what used to be a gas station reduce to a pile of rubble and twisted metal. we have seen flipped cars, buildings severely damaged, if not completely destroyed. and there are survivors who were work at the time that the tornado hit and had the roof blown off their building. >> ripped the roof off the buildings over there. we all jumped in the pit. >> glass flying all around in the pit. >> to see trees twisted like it is now, i've never seen anything like that. >> the governor of mississippi is visiting the area today. other areas hit athens, alabama of the another hard hit state. very severe damage there with homes torn apart. the threat today including yet again alabama and mississippi. the storm prediction center
4:04 am
issued a moderate risk there, meaning we could see more of at least violent storms that could produce tornadoes that stay on the ground and cause this teach damage. there is a very widespread area that could see these strong to severe storms today stretching from parts of southeast up into the midwest. have a we to get those warnings today. a tornado warning means there could be a tornado on the ground. and when those are issued, that's when you need to seek shelter. >> thank you very much. leetle talk about the storm in the nba. sounds like later today in a press conference here in new york city, the nba is going to say what they want to do to donald sterling. apparently yesterday a couple of nba attorneys did authenticate it is his voice on the 15-minutes of the tape that has been released. so all across america, people are talk about is that really -- is that something i should lose a team for? should he be fined? what are they going to do? >> meta world peace said the guy
4:05 am
has a problem, but he needs help. watch. >> i mean, you can go in somebody's pockets. you can do all those teach things, but? reality, do those things help? hate versus hate doesn't help. i say he foods to get help. let him get help and become unracist. >> when he was ron artest, he had that problem and we discussed it live, running into the stands, protecting and beating up on a few fans. he's calmed down a bit. on top of that, one of the things he he won a world kilpatrick with the lakers, he thanked the psychiatrist. sponsors around waiting, car max, mercedes benz have said we're out as long as he is big. >> the players themselves, jerseys inside out as we saw.
4:06 am
the coach rivers is saying, he's not sure if he's coming back. >> he wouldn't even take a call from donald sterling yesterday. >> he said no, we're going to let the players do their thing. many wondering if he will lose the team. will sterling maintain ownership? mark cuben said this could be a slippery slope. >> there is no excuse for anybody to support racism, there is no place for it in our league. but it's a very, very, very slimmery slope. if it's about racism and we're ready to kick people out of the league, okay, then what about homophobia? what about somebody who doesn't like a particular religion? what about somebody who is anti-semitic? >> mark jackson, the coach of the warriors, says he thinks fans should stay home. maybe he's looking out for his warriors. >> rivers says north texas we need your sore. >> perhaps wear your jersey inside out if you support that.
4:07 am
>> meanwhile, he didn't know that he would be widely quoted, but he is our secretary of state. he was at an event behind closed doors with a bunch of world leaders and he used apartheid state, that expression, to describe israel and now the world is horrified fort most part action excepts john kerry who said this. >> when people think of apartheid, they think of apartheid, black versus white thing. he's suggesting unless they come up with a peace agreements between israel and the palestinians, they'll have that problem. there has been an outpouring of anger toward these stupid comments that mr. kerry made. >> eric cantor said that the
4:08 am
word routinely being dismissed as owe penssive and inaccurate -- offensive and inaccurate. senator year said we can't have politics rage over this. senator boxer tweeted this. israel is the only democracy in the middle east and any linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. >> he tried to claire guy when he realized there was a fire storm of the did he it in way which i found odd. he lashed out against partisan political attacks again him, but acknowledged his comments last week to a closed international forum could have been misinterpreted. if that was my apology, my mom would say try again. >> if he's talk about partisan attack, clearly, to barbara boxer. >> right. clearly conservative. >> or maybe thele fact that a number of conservatives said
4:09 am
those kind of comments, he's got to go. >> sad lyrics it is my belief that secretary kerry has proven himself unsuitable for the position he holds and therefore, before any further harm is done to our national security interest and to our critical aligns with the nation of israel, that john kerry should offer president obama his resignation and the president should accept it. >> i think is a resigning type statement. this is an injury to an ally that will echo because it will be repeated and people will say, i'm not saying this. it's the secretary of state of the united states. it is untrue. it's truly something that the man at the very least, an immediate apology. >> yeah. he needs to go back to saying
4:10 am
brilliant things that climate change is causing problems. >> for the most part, it's been relatively quiet in the area. >> let us know what you think about those comments and is it enough to cause secretary year to resign? >> ten minutes after the hour, and heather joins us for overnight developments. >> good morning. could you imagine this? look out your airplane window and then seeing fire spewing from the engine? look at this. steve, you're right. that's not good. that plane had taken off from the airport in australia with 97 people on board. it start in the engine shortly after takeoff. the file immediately turned that plane around and land safely. no one was hurt. but the cause of that fire is under investigation. the search for a father and
4:11 am
his two young missing children in a 27,000 aircraft national park is now growing more desperate. he and his ten-year-old son and six-year-old daughter, you can see them there, went missing in a south carolina park just days ago while they were on a hike east of columbia. they were last heard from on saturday when he texted a friend saying they were lost. the main concern from rescuers now is that he and his children don't have any food or water. the terrain they're searching is described as difficult, with a loft downed trees and swampy water. wishing them the very best. we'll keep you posted. this swimmer gets an escort from dolphins. adam walker was a record-break open water swim, in the middle of a swim often the coast new zealand when a pod of dolphins appeared. ten joined him for an hour of his it's a-hour journey. some people thought that the dolphins were scaring off a
4:12 am
shark. he said his swimming with the dolphins was a dream come view for him. those are your headlines: what would you rather have, a dolphin or mermaid? >> it sounds like the choice is dolphins or sharks. >> so true. be kind of fun. >> thank you very much. >> if you have a better mermaid movie, let us know. >> it looked perfectly reasonable. >> you started look hard. >> i really did. instead of christian mingle, a loft people should go diving. >> there go. >> brian, you're fired. >> coming up, what is causing islamic extremism? if you ask nbc it's president bush. it's his fault, along with tony blair. >> isn't the legacy of your leadership and that of president bush in part responsible for the

4:15 am
4:16 am
what's causing islamic extremism? if you ask nbc, it's president bush and tony blair. >> isn't the legacy of your leadership and that of president bush in part responsible for the reality today? did the west fail to deal with the extremism you talk about today appropriately in afghanistan in a sustainable
4:17 am
way. will make a huge era when we end up thinking somehow it's our actions that have caused this. in afghanistan and iraq, you can agree or disagree with either decision. we removed brutal dictatorships, allowed the people a chance to elect their government. >> that's why they're to blame. is that a valid question or just ridiculous? let's ask the former deputies assistance u.s. attorney general under george w. bush, john yu, he just wrote a book the causes of war called "points of adark." your response to david gregory's question which assumes that the last eight -- your eight years were responsible for this. >> that's a terrible mistake. it's like saying firefighters are responsible for fire or during the cold war, it was our faults and not the soviets' faults. if you look at 9-11, the worst thing that could have happened for us and the best thing for slamsic extremists is that they controlled afghanistan.
4:18 am
in the bush administration, we put an end to that. we overthrough the taliban regime and started on a campaign to try the al-qaeda terrorist network. i worry this administration has let its foot off the gas pedal in the war on terrorism and actually allowing al-qaeda to rebound. >> so think about this, somalia, after that tragedy, nothing. after beirut, we've done nothing. after the cole, we did nothing. we fine low take action and it was a question, not a statement, butylene people outs there agree with it. now the bush administration's war morning could bring us to a caused this. no one even has a chance to look -- or google it, you would find out that's not the case. >> before 9-11, there were no aggressive american policies, as you pointed out, responding to all these terrorist attacks. we took a hit, we took a hit, we took a hit. we didn't respond forcefully. and what happened? we were attacked on 9-11 just down the island from here. the us us didn't cause those attacks. those happened despite american
4:19 am
policy. i think now as pointed out, what's going on is that we are withdrawing from iraq and afghanistanment we're allowing extremists to get back into power and restore the networks we spent so much time destroying. >> now the president says i'd rather hit isn'ts and doubles then go out and try for a homerun and make a mistake -- and i'm para phrasing. >> i'm worried putin and next in crimea invading ukraine, with place like china declaring air defense soon which include parts of japan, that this president, he may think he's hitting singles and doubles, but i worry he's watching called third strikes go by. >> is there a manhood problem as this president is perceived in the middle east? >> i don't know if it's manhood, but this president is turning out to pursue a very passive policy. what worries me is that american withdrawal from the world is going to have terrible costs on
4:20 am
the world and on the united states. and that this effort to pull the united states back from its role as securing regional and international security is going to harm the world that the united states built for the last 650 -- 60 years. thanks so much. >> thanks. ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. coming up, she forgot she had a pocketknife in her purse when she witness to school. now she's expelled, zero tolerance gone too far? and texting, tweeting, instagramming. parents don't understand their teens' social media lifement our next guest does and she's here to help you learn about what they are saying. hash tag. ♪ [ male announcer ] v8 v-fusion plus energy. ♪

friends, teen-agers spend more time than ever on social media. you know it. what exactly are they doing there? what should parents be doing? what don't they understand and get? here with some insight is author dana boyd. thank you for joining us today. a lot of parents, when you see at least numbers, 94% of the teens are on facebook. 26% are on twitter. 11% of them are on instagram. so when you know that the vast majority of them are on-line, parents think, i got to northern this. i -- monitor this. you say? >> i say back off and the reason i say become off is that what young people are trying to find is a police of their own. over 30 years, we've done tremendous disservice to young people's freedom. today's teen-agers have no right to roam of the the whole culture of get on your bike and be home by dark is gone. >> you're not just saying there, you spent years, about eight years studying teen-agers spending time with them.
4:26 am
but i guess the concern as a mom, i want to let my kid go anywhere anymore, it's not that world. why wouldn't i check in and monitor their freedom? i don't see it as though i'm infringing on their personal space. i need to know they're safe. >> parts of it is you want to help your child transition to adulthood and that can be rocky. so what that process looks like is to slowly give them freedom and back off when they vital new some particular wait a minute -- way. it's a process. with colleges, jobs, people are look at their behavior on-line. what do you say? >> that's true. part of it is helping your child think creditly about what they're going to encounters. in the work force, at college, et cetera. but let them be making the decisions. that's part of it. they need to learn to make decision because whether they're out of your household, they don't have you to turn to. >> so don't punish them or critique them, understand what's going on? >> it's a process.
4:27 am
sometimes you'll is to critique and punish. that's so the overbearing approach to all of it, then you don't have them learning what they have to to become an independence adult. >> there was an article that we discussed and found yesterday saying that teens can't decipher between reality and what's going on on-line. you say? >> i find that so confusion. the best i could find is that the folks were look at cyber bullying. young people don't distinguish between siren bullying and bullying. they think of bullying wholisticcally, whether it's their friends or on-line. i think it's a serious issue. i think we need to concern ourselves with it. but it doesn't mean they can't tell virtual reality from reality. >> i go by you are what you tweet. that's when i say. thank you. >> thank you. coming up, hello, texas. governor rick perry's pitch to come to the lone star state is work with a major auto company of the he's going to tell you. and we're going to tell you who

5:04 am
pretty scary. that plane had just taken often from the airport in australia with 97 people on board. airport officials say that the fire started in that engine shortly after takeoff. the pilot immediately turned that plane around and was able to land safely. no one was hurt. the cause of that fire is under investigation. a college graduate in michigan tries to celebrate getting his diploma, but he fails pretty miserably. take a look. tried to do a back flip, but ouch. he was a university from davenport graduate. he fell a little short right there. he landed face down in a large crowd of family and friends. >> cheerleading is a sport. >> that's for sure. his ego was hurt, but he wasn't hurt too badly. those are your headlines. >> i don't think that guy could

5:06 am
think of john kerry, the disaster that is right now. we heard warning that israel could be apartheid state if they don't enter peace talks. should he resign? >> he's kind of apologized. he's done the walk back. as soon as it came out of my mouth, i regretted make the comments. we have to remember this comments doesn't exist in a vacuum. especially at the beginning of the administration. there was a loft concern from jewish americans and awful us to support israel that the president really wasn't as -- i think continuing the relationship with israel as it had been continued and conducted for years. so there was a loft concern, a lot of push back on the settlements, et cetera. so there was a lot of concern early on. so this kind of confirms what a lot of us believe about the president's approach to israel and the middle east peace. it's always israel's fault.
5:07 am
and to say that apartheid -- he said he misspoke. i don't want to make too much of it. but the word is very charged. like the word holocaust. apartheid means economic and social and political disenfranchisement and discrimination institutionalized discrimination. this is our only ally that's a real democracy in the middle east. he knows that. he's going to have to do -- is he going to resign. >> he's not going to resign, i don't believe, over one comment. i think the policies are the real problem. and i don't think to brand israel an apartheid state has been very helpful, but he's going to be cleaning this up for some time. >> i think you're right, because people in his own party are steamed. >> boxer. >> yes. senator barbara boxer was on the twitter machine. she says israel is the only democracy in the middle east and any linkage between israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous. >> bad politics. >> yeah. plus, jewish leaders are fuming.
5:08 am
>> yeah. again. the left rushes to demonize people who are either republican or conservatives who misspeak. i don't want to do what they do. i'm more concerned about the fact that we have a foreign policy that is essentially nonexistents today. we've accomplished nothing really in terms of foreign policy. america is weaker. everybody knows it. china is only the move. russia is on the move. and the middle east, all these dreams that we had of an arab spring turned out to crush religious minorities, crush christians, still have the textbooks in muslim countries that say jews are pigs and are defiling the world. so that's all continuing under the obama administration. so we're weaker and that's my real concern. one comment, it's a stupid and horrible comment, but the policies are the problem.
5:09 am
>> i think it's so true because you can't debate a policy if there is no one to debate. we've taken our hands off the wheel. what do you think, mom? >> right. that goes right to hillary, too. >> let's talk about domestic politics and a woman that a lot of people are saying is a liberal's liberal. the senator out of massachusetts, senator elizabeth warren. her book has become a best seller because she's taken on the rich, on the capitalism. she says it's rigged. she says it and said it also on the daley show. >> that's what's fundamentally changed. it's tough out there. it really is a rigged game and it's set up now over and over. >> it's probably always been. >> well, snot -- not like this. it's set up over and over that the rich get richer and the powerful get more powerful. they've got all the advantages of concentrated money and concentrated power. >> wait a minute. she lives in a mansion. she was paid $350,000 to teach one class at harvard. and i believe she's worth north
5:10 am
of $10 million. she's a 1%er. >> yeah. nothing is ever rigged at harvard, right? nothing rigged. it's so easy for a conservative professor to make their way at harvard or conservative students for that matter. they're never discriminated -- you know something? warren is for the whole equal pay mess. women, equal pay, 70 cents per dollar. she's all for policies attend up hurting the middle class. she's against the keystone pipeline. she believes that the minimum wage should be $22. that's what she said would be equitable. that would be fair in the currents market. so she talks good game and i think a lot of people do believe that money is concentrated in fewer hands today. that's true. fewer banks as well. no doubt about that. there is a populist pitch to be made, but her ideas actually run counter to helping the middle class. she's also for immigration
5:11 am
amnesty, which i think, you know my position on this, it will hurt the middle class, hurt black american, hurt single mothers because it will depress wages in the united states to legalize millions upon millions of people who are already here. so i understand the moral case for that. i get it. but it's not going to help the middle class. that's farce. so she's got to change her policies to have any credibility on boo hoa the middle class. >> speak of stupid. >> we're going to move the party over to dartmouth college. you know it well. they can't use the word fiesta because it's racist. one of the students filed a complaints there. the editor of the dartmouth review was here with us and this is what he had to say. >> people were horrified that the reaction from the administration was such that the sensitivity of one group outweighed what was a charitable
5:12 am
events put o on by the students body. >> our concern that the rule of law on dartmouth campus seems to be eroding slowly. the group with the ripest self-esteem gets a pass on these issues. there is no sense of bringing people to the table. it's always if you're offended, the most sensitive, you prevail. >> you say? >> i was editor of the dartmouth review a while ago. i was the first woman of the editor review. look, now one person, one young woman said she was offended by the word fiesta and the fact that they served, i don't know, mexican-themed food, that was so offensive to her that she -- i guess she wrote a letter, made her views known and the fraternity president and the sorority president, oh, of course we're going to cancel. so there is a couple of things going on here. one person can be offended and
5:13 am
shut down a charity event. okay? that tells you all you need to know about free speech, free thought, and frankly, a great charity work at dartmouth college of the there is no meaning to the word liberal education if that is the basis for canceling a wonderful event that's been going on for three years. it's my alma mater. i love dartmouth, but the president set this up a couple weeks ago. the president of dartmouth allowed all these kids to take over his office and then a couple of days later, he's like, well, whatever it is you want, we'll basically give in to your views. >> yeah. >> that's where we are. >> thank you for joining us this morning and straightening us out. >> see you next week. coming up, can the nba team donald sterling's team, that is, can they take that team away from him and can someone go to jail? peter johnson, jr. with the questions you're asking and answers that may surprise you. >> and like a scene straight out of a movie, a wild ride caught on camera. that's no stunts man of the it's

5:18 am
is there 30 owners, that -- >> joining us now, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning. >> he said, let me just answer everybody's questions 'cause we keep asking in the halls. >> we've gotten hundreds of questions here. >> here is one, can the commissioner actually confiscate the clippers, take them from the sterling family and sell it to somebody else? >> there is something called due process in this country. under the league rules, usually if there are financial problems or improprieties or the is insolvency, it could happen of the i don't believe it will happen. i believe we'll see a fine of the we'll see a penalties. some form of suspension today with regard to his activity. >> of course, he could always decide to appeal that. >> yes. >> is donald sterling actually accused of a crime? >> that's really important. he's not accused of a crime. but he's been treated in some quarters as if he did commit a

crime because the statements are so against what we sedan for in this country. but he's not accused of a crime. there is no violation of state or federal law. he's not subject to this points that we're aware of, to any kind of federal or state inquiry, civilly or criminally in termination of his conduct. >> could i as a player sue him? could i say, i'm offended by what you did? >> that's going to happen. we're going to see a flurry of racial discrimination claims against him and perhaps against other owners. >> is the tape legal? >> the tape, if it was made in the state of california and there wasn't the permission of both parties, is illegal. if those facts are true and the person who made it, if the person did not have the permission of all parties on that tape, could be prosecuted in the state of california. it's a two-party consents state, meaning all parties must consents to such a taping. >> you know what i get from
