"fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. hey everybody. good morning. it is wednesday, the 30th of april, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. calling it the smoking e-mail. proof this morning on who really told susan rice to say this. >> it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> yeah, but that's not true. and talk about a double standard, one democratic

hold everyone accountable for their words. but who is policing that guy? >> there's [inaudible] clarence thomas. >> unfortunately for him that is not all he had to say. >> there is a reunion in a galaxy far away. the new star wars has its cast and some of the original faces are making a return. >> all right. >> mornings are better with friends.ç >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> welcome aboard, folks. live from studio e live in midtown manhattan where it is raining. but april showers bring may pneumonia. it's freezing out there. 434 -- 43 degrees. >> i heard tulips decided

not to come out of the earth. it is too cold. >> joining us is anna kooiman for elisabeth who has taken the day off. >> that's allowed. we have a live camera with elisabeth. we'll be dipping into her life throughout the day. let's talk about benghazi. judicial watches put in a freedom of information request to find out about memos and e-mails transferred during the time of the benghazi attacks a couple of years ago. it turns out if you ask the right way, if you try hard enough, you eídç up getting those memos and they turn out not redacted. >> the key is you have to sue them. we've done a lot of stories on benghazi but this is the one you've really got to pay attention to. because of this. as it turns out the white house had these documents they turned over to the house oversight committee. >> about 100 pages? >> how would you know because so much stuff was blacked out they were useless. judicial watch sued them under the freedom of information act. they went to court and

wound up with these unredacted things. who told susan rice to go on the sunday talk shows and say it was a video. now we've got these unredacted things from ben rhodes, barack obama's assistant and the deputy national security advisor, one of them entitled prep call for susan rice the day before she was on tv. it said the goal was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. it does not mention, according to sharyl atkissson who has written a blog, does not relate to terrorism. >> the national security council is basically saying the e-mail referring to protests going on around the region in cairo and benghazi, they were talking more about the flavor of theç region. that statement did not

address what fox news asked, which is where did you get this information about protesting sparked by the video, the attacks on benghazi on innocent americans, where did you get this information from? snorkelly ayotte was on with grate at that -- senator kelly ayotte was on with greta last night. >> we asked where the video reference came from. now we know it came from the white house. this is a dynamic where the president in the election was claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, had al qaeda on theç run. the other thing in this e-mail here that is very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al qaeda has been decimated. >> blame it on the video, not on the president's strategies. it reads more like a p.r. strategy than it does trying to get the proper intelligence to the american people. >> remember it was seven weeks before the election,

and at that point the talking point for the administration was bin laden is dead and al qaeda is on the run, we've got them on the heels. what happened there proved that wasn't true. but sharyl attkisson who worked at cbs -- she resigned because she couldn't do what she wanted to do, specifically benghazi. ben rhodes, the president'sç assistant, his brother is president of cbs news. sharyl noted that in her blog. but jason chafits said the government tried to keep the e-mail secret because they initially had it declassified but then they classified, pwhrabgdz it out and sent -- blacked it out, sent it over and there was nothing there. >> i would say too they are

brothers. lindsey graham said this is the smoking gun that points to the whiteç house's efforts to shape the story of what was going on in benghazi. >> asked about whether this call actually happened, we haven't had an answer for that either. the subject line of the e-mail in the 4 p.m. prep call with susan rice and it didn't go out to just one or two people. it went out to a dozen of the president's closest confidantes including white house spokesperson jay carney. >> lindsey graham does say it is the smoking gun. charles krauthammer says it is the smoking document. >> he also went on to say, charles, he does not believe america will pay enough attention. >> because of the mainstream media. >> the main story yesterday has to be what was happening with donald sterling. it was up to the nba commissioner to step up and he did. he banned him for life and will force him to sell the team. then comes out opinions and almost universally people basketball association for

taking the proper steps but not everyone was pushing that. one congressman thompson said we've got to give the players more power and owners more power to oust this guy and have more control over what happens in this league because you need a two-thirds vote to get rid of a guy like donald sterling in this case. meanwhile, you have to wonder if congressman thompson is asking for a double standard when it comes to freedom of speech and saying things that are flatout in my mind offensive. >> he was on nation of islam radio. this is a democrat congresseao great state of mississippi. he says that clarence thomas, the african-american justice on the u.s. supreme court, is an uncle tom. he says mitch commonly is a a -- mitch mcconnell is a racist. he says republicans are antiobamacare because he's black. that is not true. any way, here is the congressman from

mississippi. >> mitch mcconnell will have the audacity to [inaudible] but the commander in chief that i don't care what you come up with, we're going to be against it. now, if that's not a racist statement, i don't know what is. >> there is uncle tom clarence thomas, this man doesn't even like black people. he doesn't likeç being black because every decision where color has something to do with it, he went against it. >> he also said he worked under three presidents, and they were never treated like this. really? george bush's intellect was slapped around every day. the majority leader called him a loser. bill clinton in particular was impeached. you saw the way bill clinton was treated in many respects. forget the way they're look at now. i don't think any of them had an easy time. >> he went on to say this antigovernment attitude is

completely newç just because we have an african-american president. we did reach out to his office and haven't heard back for a comment. >> we've got lots more news to tell you about. once again we turn to heather nauert. >> got news now to bring you at nine minutes after the hour. we break in with breaking news that came in overnight. prison officials try a new drug cocktail to kill an inmate but the execution is botched. the inmate died more than 43 minutes later of a heart attack. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. the man exploded after the first of three injections and then the execution stopped. some witnesses say the convicted murderer then tried to get up and talk. pretty gruesome description there. witnesses say he looked likeç "rambo." >> a guy with a shotgun came in. he shot the guard in the

belly and then he went inside and started shooting. >> police identified the gunman pwho shot up a fedex warehouse in georgia. he is a 19-year-old, a package handler for the company. etches armed with a knife, molotov cocktails and had bullets strapped to his chest. he shot six people before he turned the gun on himself. three are in critical condition. police not releasing a motive yet. amanda knox and her roommate fought over money before knoxç allegedly n knife, her off with a according to italian court documents that were just unsealed in that case. a court informant claimed convicted knox and her former boyfriend of murdering kirchner. knox was first convicted of murder about five years ago but the verdicts were overturned on appeal in 2011. in january a federal appeals court overturned the conviction. knox now in seattle was

regulation. now a liberal blogger is attacking the move saying, quote, this represents an utterly stupid and useless case of corporate welfare. rick perry is engaged in domestic financial terrorism. is rick perry probusiness? he sure is. he's probusiness and anti-american. >> strong words there. but is bringing jobs to your state really financial terrorism? here to weigh in is stuart varney. good morning. >> are you kidding me? >> isç there any validity to that argument? do you think tax breaks to steal business from another state, does this hold water at all? >> sheer nonsense. actually it is sour grapes. toyota goes from california to texas lured by less regulation and much lower taxes. that is not financial terrorism. that is a legitimate inducement to get money and jobs out of a high-tax, high-regulation, big-union state like california and bring them to a go-ahead, low-tax, low-regulation

state like texas. it is sour grapes from the left. >> isn't the whole idea when you're in business like toyota is -- and we should point out the big three were all in california once upon a time. one of them has gone to tennessee, the other now in texas as well. when you're in business, isn't the idea to make as much money as possible? and if your federal and state bureaucracies are charging you high taxes, figure out a way to payç less. in this case it's move to texas. >> it's good business. toyota wanted to build a brand-new headquarters. you can't build anything in california. they regulate you to death. there's rules and regulations for everything. what do they do? they listened to governor rick perry of texas, and went to texas where they can build a whopping great big new headquarters building just like that. >> you know what they're doing is saving the u.s. what concerns me, even though it is allowed, maximize profit if that is your goal for shareholders and make it more desirable for consumers. bow do you think overall weç are chase -- but do you

think overall we are chasing money out of the country and this is a good story because it keeps money in the country? >> nobody is higher with taxes than abu dhabi at 55%. we're keeping $2 trillion of money outside of america. it doesn't come back here because of those high taxes. and we're chasing corporations out like pfizer. pfizer is going to be domiciled overseas because of our high taxes here. it's on the big level, a country level which is exactly the same as the state level within the united states. >> right. and all these energy jobs in texas as well. unemployment rate lower than a lot of others. what can other states learn from governor rick perry? >> low tax, low regulation pulls in the jobs, pulls in the money. high tax, big unions, you're chasing money out of your state.ç that's what you can learn. >> fantastic. >> rick perry wins. >> stuart varney we're going to watch your show today. >> yeah, i'm fired up.

doing good. then what happened? >> we got a call from the postmaster general. will and i used to work in washington, d.c. we put on our suits, go to washington, met with the postmaster and its senior team. we go into this intimidating board room and gave a pitch. we said we're just a few guys trying to help build a great technology product that our customers love. we would love to find a way to work together. a few great linesç ensued. the chief digital innovation officer from the post office said no one is going to want it because digital is a fad. that was a doozy but the next one was better. the postmaster said those aren't our customers. he said our customers are a few hundred volume mailers and the product is junk mail on to the tables of america. >> they feel an allegiance to junk mailers who pay nothing to go into the

postal system. you were astounded by having said that so your goal was to win them over. as ridiculous as those wrepbts -- comments are, win them over. how did that go? >> we like to think of ourselves as occasionally persuasive peoplo but when you encounter the forces of bureaucracy, we don't think the people at the postal service are foolish. the reality is they have tons of incumbent interests like the unions and congress that make it hard for them to make good decisions about their business. we tried everything we could. we had lobbyists and attorneys and a public interest campaign. it just seemed to be walls too tall to surmount. >> the government has two things that startups don't have which is time and money. we operate on a fleeting time frame with very little money. and the postal service, even if we could take five years to convince them, a startup could never operate duringw; that time frame to create a successful company that consumers love. >> you know what i found

amazing is that the post office is on life support. even the biggest advocates of the post office knows it is borrowing loans in order to keep going, keeping people kphroeud. they should be embracing people like you with ideas like yours. >> that was our hope honestly. our passion and real calling is to create a great private business that creates a good or service that delights our customers. and we think when more people like us do that, us and dozens of others, that our society and country will really be on a great path. >> all right. we reached out to the post office, have not heard back. guys, thanks a lot. hopefully you can show stats on how well it was working and make legislators get on your[ @&c @@ side and force the post office into the 21st century. >> we appreciate it. thanks for having us on. >> the creators of outbox. straight ahead, no idea, --

places have been devastated. we find her in athens, alabama tracking this wild weather. maria, good morning. >> good morning. you're right, we're in a different state today in a different city but the scene is the same. more widespread destruction. in this area the national weather service confirming a tornado touchdown with winds up to 140 miles per hour. that would make it anç es-3. that is here in athens, alabama, where we have widespread destruction. we have a home behind me, as you can see, the roof blown off, walls are gone. and inside of it, it's unrecognizable, just debris littered inside that home. down the road in a trailer park, a mother and her son were killed by the same storm system. making matters worse, today we have the threat for flash flooding. when we got here to athens, alabama, last night we had heavy rain and there was a warning in effect that has been lifted here but across eastern alabama, southern

alabama and up to southern new england, you have a number of flash flood watches and several advisories in effect as well. this is a very widespread storm system impacting at least 18 states with those flood advisories. across the florida panhandle in pensacola, anywhereç between 5 to 11 inches have been reported. higher amounts have been possible in localized areas across parts of the florida panhandle. cars have been submerged. we have a number of warnings in effect there as well. at least one person dead in the florida panhandle due to that flooding. all of this flooding is on top of another round yet again of tornadoes. yesterday we had eight reported tornadoes in the state of north carolina where flooding was also a big issue there. take a look at this. >> we had about four and a half feet of water in our driveway. it was ohe hoods of both our cars, probably a good three feet of water in

our house. it turned our freezer over, washer, dryer. >> 135 tornadoes have been reported in our multiday severe weather event. we do expect more severe weather possible today across the eastern third of the country. stay safe. let's head over to you in new york. >> maria molina, thank you very much. the key is about the flooding because down along the panhandle i was reading, some spots are going to end up with 25 inches of rain. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. there she is right over there, the retired cougar cheerleader. >> long ago retired. that was a lot of fun yesterday. from flooding to fishing, listen to this one especially if you like tuna. tuna fish caught off the shoreç of oregon is now known to have elevated levels of radioactive particles in it. it is believed it is from the fukashima disaster. researchers studied 26

there. then they called me down to the principal's office and wanted to give me suspension. >> okay. and then you told them that, look, i left it there by accident; right? what else? >> and i told them it was by accident and i told them like the story that had happened, like that i helped my boyfriend with chores on the farm and iç threw it in my purse that weekend, that last weekend. >> rick, you -- go ahead. >> they only thought i should get a three-day suspension because they knew i was a good kid and never got into trouble. >> then the school board took a look at it, rick, and decided your daughter should be kicked out of school for the rest of the year. you've got a problem with this, don't you? >> i do. to take a good honor student and punish them excessively like this, it does no school for the kid, whether it is my kid or some other kid, it does no for .

whether or not he violated the school weapon policy or not. he ended up only getting a three-day suspension for that. >> he got three days for having what was classified as a weapon and your daughter got kicked out for the rest of the year because as it turns out the school board had a little flexibility when it came to the school board member's child. alyssa, how do you feel about going forward knowing that you made a little mistake, you owned up to it, but now they're killing you? >> yeah. i don't know. i think it's an excessive punishment like it's not just about me now. it's about everyone else who's gotten an excessive punishment too. i don't know, i just want to fight for everyone else too. rick, it does seem commonsense wise, she's been out of school already, said she was sorry. it was a simple mistake. where's the common sense? >> there clearly isn't any.

they boosted him to white house victory in 2008 and 2012. now disappointment leaves many of them disillusioned. new study shows their level of trust in president obama has slid to 32% over the last four years. that's 12% drop. only 14% of millenials trust congress and 20% trust the federal government. how does president obama and the government lose the millenial generation? let's ask three of them who all already hold public office. alex morse, the mayor of holly oak, massachusetts. and two other guests. good morning. >> good morning. >> representative garcia, we'll start with you. you say this talk of hope and change is simply empty rhetoric. why? >> well, as you pointsed out, trust in government elected officials dropped among my littlials and the thing is, it's one thing to distrust your elected officials, but this

generation and the recent decade, we've seen that -- we have reason to expect that our elected officials, particularly our federal officials personified in the president, actively deceiving us, not just distrust. >> mayor, we've got a full screen to show. in 2008, the youth vote, president obama had 66%. 2012, 60% of the youth vote. but come time now, they're having a tough time finding jobs out of school, disheartened about obamacare and having to subsidize the he saiderly. how do you think this will affect the mid terms. are they disillusioned by the democratic party? >> i don't think it's about a party or a person i have really think it's about a process. the same harvard study that was quoted in the national journal article showed that between the first and second term for both president bush and president obama, there were precipitous

drop in perception among millenials. i think what they're reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what's turning many of us off. mayor morris, let me ask you, you're an arresteddents obama supporter what about the other issue of student loans that millenials are facing? how is that going to affects midterms? >> i am a big obama supporter, and we're all about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came in to republican obstructionism in congress and so i think be it stabilizing student interest rates, that's something important to young people. young people wants to get involved not just in politics, but public service. that same article pointed out the volunteerism rate among young people. issues like health care and immigration and gun control, those things need a vote in

congress. president obama can't do it alone. >> the polls also show conservatives millenials are motivated to head to the polls. more "fox & friends" coming up in a few minutes. thank you for your time, everyone go long, look lean, in this season's most important fashion trend, the long shirt. designed to flatter, with playful hemlines and length for everybody. the new long shirt. visit the shirt boutique, only at chico's and chicos.com. thoughtful combinations, artfully prepared. fancy feast elegant medleys. inspired dishes like primavera, florentine and tuscany. fancy feast. a medley of love, served daily.

good morning. it is wednesday, the 30th of april, 2014. aim anna kooiman in for allegation elisabeth. call it the smoking e-mail. proof this morning on who really told susan rice to say this. >> it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> meanwhile, the main stream media may not be talking about benghazi, but tim allen is in prime time. how he worked it into his show. >> you're going to want to see that. plus, george clooney surrendering his title as most eligible bachelor and now we know who is taking his place. who would that be? you're going to have to stick

around because mornings are better with "fox & friends." looks like the rid ther there -- riddler there. >> hi, this is henry winkler, you're watching "fox & friends". >> the riddler is the only bad guy to wear a unitard. >> what's his name? frank gorshen? >> yep. and that was the only thing he did, right? >> perhaps his best known role. >> how do you know the penguin wasn't wearing one? >> i was just informed superman was wearing one. >> super friends usually do. >> what did frank gorshen do. >> he was an impersonator. >> welcome back to short attention span newscast. anna kooiman is with us today. great to have you.

>> great to be here. >> we have a bombshell. we have done stories about benghazi but this is really important because despite what the white house told us over the last year or so, it looks like the white house is who misled the country on those talk points. remember siphon rice went out out susan rice said it was because of the internet video. now we know apparently there was a document from the white house, top advisor to the president who made it clear, let's not call this terrorism. let's divert people over to something else. >> yeah, ben rosen, assistants to the president, deputy national security advisor, he had an e-mail sent out to about a dozen people, including jay carney, but some of the president's closest confidantes, and the subject line said, 4:00 p.m., press call. here were the goals there. one was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader

failure or policy and the other one was essentially to reinforce the president and his administration's strength. so the idea was to try to make this look like it was not a failure of the president's policies, but just, of course, this video. >> so let me get this straight. now you have a direct link between the spinning of the message, the telling of the story and the white house. now this was done because judicial watch sued for it. originally these documents, i understand, were given up, but there were some redacted that makes no sense. but now you have everybody this was cced to. you have in the title saying prep. this is saturday night before the sunday shows. what does this mean? it means their shows are spinning in the message. the c.i.a. said we never said anything about a video. white house, according to sheryl atkissson, she said, can i just get a picture of who was doing anything during the attacks? she can not get a picture from the white house. she's just trying to get a

situation room shot like with the bin laden. out of frustration, what does it mean to the american public? charles krauthammer put it in perspective. >> we now have the smoking document which is the white house saying we're pushing the video because we don't want to blame it on the failure of our policies, which is what anybody who has looked at this assumed all along. before an election, obama saying al-qaeda is dead, gm is alive. he's running the foreign policy issue on which the whole campaign is based, is one that says he killed bin laden, al-qaeda is on the run. so this undermines the whole narrative, therefore, they have to invents the video. the fact that it was redacted when the documents were asked for and only revealed by a court order is telling you this is a classic cover-up of a cover-up and that is a serious offense.

>> see, he just summed it up so perfectly right there. keep in mind, the house oversight committee asked for these particular e-mail and the white house gave them a bunch of them, but they were -- somebody took sharpie you and couldn't read anything and it wasn't until judicial watch sued them that they got the clean copies. because of it originally an unclassified document. >> that they made classified. >> that anybody could read. when they realized, wait a minute, there is some heat here, let's cross it all out. sheryl atkissson who had been at cbs has a big blog post where she details everything. she said chaffetz tried to keep it secret. lindsey graham said this is clearly a smoking gun. he says this shows political manipulation by the white house after attack. they knew it was a terrorist attack and yet they were pushing the video as we know, to get the president relie detectorred.

>> yeah. you see the goal reads more like a pr strategy than getting the correct intelligence to the american people. meanwhile, four innocent americans lost their lives. >> let's change the subject a little bit. tim allen was on the "tonight show" and raised some eyebrows when he talked about the socialist state of california and everyone is like, wow, what is that about? we were talk being that two weeks ago. now in his final episode of his sitcom, he insinuating more unhappiness possibly with the government and its candor. >> he's a conservative and unlike a lot of shows on television, he actually puts that message out there. here is the finale over on abc last friday night from "last man standing," tim allen reminding people. watch. >> what did i do? >> that's the new security system. just punch 62262. it spells obama. >> real funny.

having obama protect us from burglars, can't even keep putin out of crimea. >> someone's got a new benghazi. >> benghazi is not over yet. >> he's a conservative. he doesn't just play one on television. >> yeah. and that's pretty rare in hollywood, right? i remember seeing clint eastwood on hannity saying these folks in hollywood, even if they are conservative, they're closet conservatives for fear of losing work or not being able to find work and being blacklisted there. >> sure. one of the reasons we highlighted that was because generally the way hollywood operates, the message is not conservative. it's all to the political left. that's why what tim allen did stands out. >> it's called integrity, something obama doesn't have with this benghazi thing. for that to be in that is interesting. >> look how more and more outspoken, even seeing him on sitter with getting into some conservative war of words as

well. >> indeed. so it is a very busy morning. about 8 minutes after the top of the hour and heather joins us with a troubling story out of oklahoma. >> it's really a pretty disturbing story. it's an important one that can affect other states. we begin with this coming in. prison officials try a new cocktail to kill an inmate, but the execution is botched and that inmate died more than 43 minutes later. now all executions in the state of oklahoma are on hold. clayton blocket's vein ruptured after the first of three injections and the execution was stopped. some say he tried to get up and talk before he died of a heart developments. i did it. just arrest me. those words coming from 16-year-old christopher plaksin after he stabbed his classmate to death. the 16-year-old has been charged as an adult. authorities in connecticut are still trying to determine if he

did it because she refused to go to the prom with him. he faces 60 years behind bars. a horrible story there. an al-qaeda terrorist backed out of an attack because he was scared? he made this confession while he was testifying in the trial of the hook handed hate preacher. he says he didn't go through with his role in richard reid's shoe bombing plot on a flight back in 2001 because he was too afraid. okay. now that george clooney is headed down the aisle, who is the most eligible bachelor? it is prince harry. the 29-year-old and his girlfriend of two years, have just split. sources say harry pulled the plug on the relationship because he found her to be too needy. the two were introduced by sarah ferguson's youngest daughter. anna, he's free. i know you have somebody in your life. should be a nice wedding there. >> this is why he broke up with her. it was all because he met me at the warrior games in colorado last year. i was just waiting on that.

>> you just can't tell the whole story. these are new briefs. the other thing is we know the strategy that george clooney fell into. playing hard to get. so do not return his calls. >> i think it's odd that harry's girlfriend was too needy. apparently she wanted to be treated like a princess. >> what's wrong with that? >> are you a step princess if you marry the second in command of the royal army? >> i think you're still a princess. >> i got to watch shrek again. >> that's the latest on harry. coming up, more on kerry, secretary of state john kerry, making a major gaffe suggesting our biggest ally could turn into an apartheid state. should the secretary of state quit? the guy who voted against him for the position, senator jim imhoff, he's next. then calling it the wheel of misfortune. the wrong answer that cost a contestants a free vacation.

secretary of state john kerry trying to back pedal after he was caught on tape saying israel risked turning into an apartheid state. >> the israelis are furious at that. but this isn't the first time kerry has stepped in the diplomatic mud, shall we say. should we be surprised? oklahoma senator jim inhofe is a ranking member of the senate

armed services committee and a member of the senate foreign relations committee, one of the three senators who voted against kerry's confirmation as secretary of state. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> what do you think about, first of all, kerry saying this apartheid stuff? he didn't know anybody had a recorder, somebody did. now looks bad. >> i'm not surprised. i'm not surprised at all. we made some comments about his lack of, i felt, allegiance at that time to our best friend in the middle east. keep in mind that in israel, the arabs have full citizens' rights. they have 10% of them of the kinneset has full rights and to associates that with apartheid is outrageous. but again, i'm not surprised. >> surely. one of the things that was said during the confirmation hearing was that if mr. kerry was selected as secretary of state, we were going to have trouble with israel because our president and then mr. kerry as well, not israel's biggest fans.

>> that's right. they associated -- that has to be a relationship there. the reason that he was chosen by our president. that's something we were aware of at that time. it actually came out in the hearing. so everyone was aware of it. and at that time, we also had some people quietly objecting -- the israelis, not any formal group, but they knew what was coming. >> surely. this shouldn't really surprise anybody. i mean, if you look at john kerry's history, there are a number of insulting gaffes. here is one from 2006 where he insults our troops. >> if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. if you don't, you get stuck in iraq. >> yeah, we remember that one. >> at the time that took place, i was actually over there and i will never forget the response that we got from our troops over

there. look, see, this goes back a long time. i can remember way become during the reagan administration when reagan came up with the great idea on f.b.i. knowing some day we would need it and it was kerry who coined the phrase, star wars, you can't hit a bullet with a bullet. so these things have been there for a long time. my objection, i have to say, has been primarily the fact that he's never thought any good ideas come from anywhere except a multi national organization. i'm talking about the new stark treaty that he was able to push through, the law treaty turning over 70% of the surface to the united nations, international criminal court. the whole arms trade treaty. do you remember that? >> sure. >> that means we would have to call the united nations before we could send a patriot missile to israel. this is the problem i've had for a long periods of time. and it hasn't changed. you read the quote there. that was a shocking quote. but listen to this quote and

this is what syrian president assad, after he killed tens of thousands of people. kerry said he is, quote, an essential player in bringing peace and stabilities to the region. then all this stuff on climate change, he said the climate change can now be considered the world's largest weapon of mass destruction. that's pretty scary. >> it's interesting you would talk about assad. so he was for assad before he was against assad, which we've kind of heard that before. now, if people would like more information or read -- >> the web site -- the statement that i made at the time of this confirmation, it's inhofe.senate.gov. you can get a lot more information. >> senator inhofe, thank you very much. >> thank you. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. next up, who do americans wants in congress? more republicans or democrats? we've got the numbers. stick around. we'll explain them all to you.

teleporting these quantum states, actually teleporting a person is a whole different ball of wax. it's something that really, i can't imagine happening not in my lifetime or grandkids' lifetime. >> but somebody is working on it? >> people are working on all sorts of stuff. >> because if you invents it, you get rich. >> tell that to edison. >> he's not available for comment currently. >> good job. editor of scientific america. >> thank you for having me. >> 26 minutes after the hour. coming up, the law is the first of its kind. what will happen to pregnant women who use drugs? >> then the one thing wal-mart did not sell until now. i ys say be thman with the plan

he saw up close and personal when bush was called stupid every day of the week, called loser by the majority loser, it's hard to -- a war monger. bill clinton in particular was impeached. so i don't know, were they treated easily and given a pass? i don't really think so. was nixon given a pass? i think also, he says when states opt out of obamacare, that was racist. >> sure. >> antigovernment sentiment is brand-new because we have an african-american president. >> and republicans, he said, don't like obamacare because the president is black. no, people don't like obamacare because it is more expensive than the old stuff. they got to drive two hours to see a doctor, and a lot of their doctors they didn't get to keep. >> the term racism is a term you shouldn't throw around. >> by the way, we did call the congressman's office, asked him if he would like to come on, we

there is nothing there. you're looking right there at a document that has been released. judicial watch had to go after it because a copy was sent to the house judiciary committee that was so redacted, so blacked out, you couldn't tell anything. now we know right there, according to those documents, that it looks like when asked who exactly told susan rice to go out on the sunday chat shows and say the benghazi was about the video, now we know after mike morell a couple months ago, who was at the c.i.a., said, we didn't give her that information. now we know the information came from the white house. keep in mind, this was seven weeks before president obama's reelection day. and they were doing everything they could to make sure that he looked like he was in control and that osama bin laden was dead and al-qaeda was on the run. that was the mim. >> that was the narrative they were trying to push. ben rhodes sent an e-mail to a dozen people, some of the

president's closest confidantes, jay carney was on the list, and in it, it said prep call, 4:00 p.m. for susan rice. and here is what it said. to underscore this is a goal of what the prep calls a underscore these protests are because of a video and not a broader failure or policy. it was to make it seem like it was nothing that the president was doing wrong in the region. it was all because of this internet video. >> right. think about it. double whammy for the president. he had a military action in libya, would thank would show chaos resulted and show terrorists are acting against and killing americans and he says al-qaeda is on the up and bin laden is done. he also said let's reinforce the president's strength on challenges. this is saturday night, everybody important in the administration is cced on this. senator kelly ayotte, who has been all over it, she said this about what this all means.

>> we always said r did the video reference come from? now we know it came from the white house. the president is claiming he had been a good foreign policy president, that he had al-qaeda on the run. the other thing in this set of e-mail here that's very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al-qaeda has been destroyed. then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al-qaeda has been decimated. >> so that e-mail was from ben rhodes who was the deputy national security advisor and maybe -- if you're going think, if it's not the white house trying to be political, which is it clearly looks like what, could the white house have been doing? maybe they really believe that it was about the video. keep in mind, though, everybody who was talking to them, the people on the ground in libya, the c.i.a., they were all saying it's terrorism. it was an attack. what is curious, though, is

the -- and so that is ben rhodes. ben rhodes' brother is david rhodes, the president of cbs where sheryl atkissson used to work. she quit because she said cbs wouldn't let her do stories like on benghazi. she says that congressman chaffetz told her the government tried to keep this classified. they declassified it initially. yeah, you can look at this. then when they reallied the house oversight committee wanted it, they blacked out so much stuff t didn't make any sense. that's why judicial watch sued them. that's why we now know that it leads back to the white house. >> right. mike morell also involved there, saying, he was the deputy c.i.a. direct, i'll volunteer to go meet with hillary clinton to work out a message here because it looks too good for the c.i.a. because the c.i.a. knew this was dangerous and warned ahead of time and that they didn't wants to look basically too good and make the f.b.i. and administration look too bad. i feel bad for this guy, growingry hicks, who stood up and sounded the alarm and was

the whistle blower and he's paid in his career. >> fox news has continued to cover this and we'll continue to do to. now a look at what else is making news. >> good morning. talk being a story in oklahoma. it could affect other states. executions in the state of oklahoma are now on a hold after a new drug cocktail failed to kill an inmate immediately. he died 43 minutes later. clayton lockett's vein ruptured after the first much three injections that he was supposed to get. some witnesses say that the convicted murderer then tried to get up off the gurney and said man, before he died of a heart attack. this was the first time the state of oklahoma used the drug in an execution. other states, including ohio an( well. tuna fish cough off the shore of oregon has elevated levels of radioactivity. it's believed it's from the

always remind me of darth vader, that noise. >> or a sleep apnea machine. >> right. >> thank you very much. all right. we know that one of the voter blocs that helped get president obama, the president job were the young people, millenials. harvard has a new poll out that shows that while there was a lot of hope and change back in 2008, a lot of the support that the president had has slid because they just don't like how it's all turned out. >> millenials who are 18 to 29, harvard did this study, so it's got to be right. so the trust factor was high at 44. now dropped to 32. also congress went from 14 to 4. the supreme court to 4. and the federal government down 2% from 20. >> james carvelle was on with greta last night and said this is hurting the democratic party -- hitting them where it hurts rather. >> i saw that poll, my day started out about as good as

donald sterling's. wasn't too good. that was one way to ask the question. i think asked another way and it was closer. the poll is not good. i'm not one of these people that says oh, trashed the poll. the poll was not good on a variety of frontses. if i saw -- in an abc, "washington post," generally a highly respected poll. sometimes they can be a little bit off. i'm hoping this is it. i'll wait and see the next one before i get my frustrate razor out. >> one of the things according to this particular harvard study is the millenials say look, mr. obama promised that he was going to change things. washington is a partisan place. i'm gog change all that, he said back in 2008. now fast forward to today, audients do it. and they view him as being part of the system that they promised to change. they're disappointed. >> it's not just the empty rhetoric. it's them graduating from college and not able to find

jobs. or the jobs they're finding, they're way overqualified for. they're upset over obamacare and subsidizing the older, unhealthy people. they're upset about students loans. it goes on and on of the and earlier in the show i talked to some millenial politicians who are already in office. take a listen. >> this generation and the recent decade, we've seen that we actually have reason to expect our elected officials, particularly federal officials personified in the president actively deceiving us. >> i think what millenials are reacting to is the fact that the process is not built for progress. in fact, the gridlock is what's turning many of us off. >> we're about getting things done. i think president obama, when first elected in 2008, immediately came into republican obstructionism. >> okay. either that or the number sticks out is 62% say that elected officials are motivated for selfish reasons.

so a bitterness and a cynicism. >> plus you got to figure that the millenials, they're disappointed with how it all turned out with obama. he's not running next time. so how will it impact whoever his party's standard bearer is? stay tuned. the one bit of good news i saw in this whole thing, the number one entity that the millenials trust, the u.s. military. the u.s. military above the presidency, above the supreme court, above the federal government. >> that was down 7% from where it was. >> the surge was after 9-11. after 9-11, about 60% supported the president. 70% supported the military. and 54% supported the congress. my, how things have slid. >> the polling is also showing that conservative millenials are more motivated to come out to the polls in the midterm elections and word is now that democrats are concerned about losing the senate and now vetting and processing federal judges to try to leave that for

obama's legacy. >> 100% of millenials are concerned about turning 30. >> 30, not that bad. coming up, donald sterling has been fined and banned by the nba. but what are the odds he walks away from the clippers without a fight? peter period of time -- period of time period of time has done some research. >> no i.d.? no problem. you can vote anyway. why a judge thinks that's a way to make things fair? ♪ ♪ [male announcer] ortho crime files. disturbing the pantry. a house, under siege. say helto home defense max. kills bugs inside and prevents new ones for up to a year.

due process, he could bring a courts proceeding. then number two, if the owners vote to expel him and make him sell the team, can he fight that based on antitrust, based again, arbitrary and capricious, based on the contract with the association itself? so there is a lot of questions in spite of what the commissioner has done. >> peters, when he bought it back in 1981, it was for something like $12 million. there are estimates it could be $575 million for now. >> more! more! >> so is it even really an argument for him to say you're making me lose my livelihood? >> absolutely. you can make the legal argument and i think there is a better than 50% chance he will. i think in the end, he will profit from his own despicable conduct. he will receive a price for this team that is more than he ever imagined it would be. but will there be a fight? will there be a negotiation? will he threatsen a lawsuit

against the commissioner? will he threaten a lawsuit against the owners? will he say what you did was denude, decrease the value of this team. the real fair market value of the team. in order to do that to get a higher price going forward. lot of people want to buy this. maybe magic johnson. a lot of people across america. but given what he's done in the past, do we expect a fight? yeah, there is a pretty decents chance that we're going to see a fight on this issue. >> what about the small portion of the people -- no doubt the comments were tough listening to these tapes. >> horrible. >> but he is tried in the court of public opinion. people are saying it's a rush to judgment. what's the argument on that? >> in terms of statements that we know about, i can't see that there is a rush to judgment. they're despicable, odious, wrong. they're foul, unamerican. it's not what any of us stand for in this country. but at the same time in terms of the property right, that's a totally different question.

this is unchartered territory in and lose money as a result based on private statements? that's a different legal issue. he's entitled to due process on that particular issue. there is no doubt. i see a fight coming. >> and there have been calls for people to boycott the clippers because of these comments. now there are calls for people to come and support the players instead. >> the bigger issue is why is there only one african-american owner in the nba? all the nba owners are making themselves feel good now that they've gone after racism. but why 80% of the players are african-american, but why only one majority owner is african-american in the nba? maybe they should look at that as well. >> good question. thanks, peter. >> good to see you. coming up, the united states about to get its butt kicked. the country about to beat us as the number one economy in the world. then who would give back an adopted child? believe it or not, it happened

others like stuart varney says not so fast. steve? >> thank you. she had high hopes of motherhood as she set out to adopt a daughter from russia. but soon thereafter, our next guest discovered her daughter, julia, suffered from rad, reactive attachment disorder. it's a condition that affects thousands of orphans all across the globe due to abeen donement and neglect, among other things. that mom now sharing her story of her family and their ups and downs in the new book "rescuing julia twice." tina joins us live. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you rescued her twice. the first time was? >> eight months old, siberian orphanage. got her on valentine's day, middle of the winters in siberia. and she was a beautiful baby. >> and you rescued her the second time when you realized something is the matters with my child and i got to figure out what it is. >> that's right. that's right. more importantly was we rescued her from herself. we rescued her from a dark

place, a place where she was incapable of bonding and attaching and feeling the benefit of love. >> that's referred to as rad. >> it's a condition that is typically affiliated with children who have been neglected or abused at an early age. it is common among children who have started their lives in orphanages. >> you picked up your daughter in siberia when she was eight months old. >> only eight months old. i had not been schooled in this at all. i had not been prepared for this. and it was confusing because she was such a beautiful baby. she's a beautiful young girl now. however, we had been given all sorts of warnings potentially about physical problems, but physically, she thrived. she was strong. she was powerful. she was healthy. she met milestones. so there was this confusing dichotomy between the physical

vancements and what was happening for her emotionally. it was very confusing for a new mother in her 40s in the first child. >> i'm sure you thought i'm doing something wrong. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly the problem. and possibly most of all, why i've written this book. i was so much in the dark. i was so filled with despair. i was so confused and so convinced that i had made haggai grantsic mistake. >> in particular, you were moved to right this book after you heard about a family about three, four years ago that had a child with the same problem, sent him back to russia. >> 2010, tory hanson, a single woman, she literally returned her 7-year-old child on a plane to moscow by himself with a note attached to his sweatshirt saying this child is psychotic and i can't parent him. and while her experience was very different than mine and while the world viewed her as a monster and she didn't make a great decision, i understood what was behind that. i understood how difficult it was to try to parents a child

who won't accept love. >> sure. how many times with your daughter were you to the points where, i can't take it anymore? something is the matter, either with me or her or us. >> it never occurred to me to return her. >> of course. >> i was deep in despire. i was scared. in those early days, those first couple of years, i would think a we were never going to be a family, that i was never going to truly be this child's mother that when she said mommy, that it would never be authentic. >> you know what's interesting about your story and you're very brave for telling it, is when you see on tv about these celebrities, they adopt these international children, looks so easy. everything turns out great. >> angelina jolie makes it look like it's an idyllic situation. you have a little troop of orphans, internationally adopted children and it all melds perfectly. that is not reality. >> it's great you are making people aware of rad in circumstances. the book is called "rescuing

julia twice." thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> good luck to you. >> thanks. 26 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, should illegal immigrantses be allowed to pay in-state tuition. we'll tell but it. plus, kenny rogers doing something he's never done before. he joins us live coming up. ♪ ♪ what does that first spoonful taste like? ok. honey bunches of oats. ching! mmmm! mmmm! mmmm! wow! it's the oats. honey. yeah. honey bunches of oats. this is a great cereal.

the actor bobs who convince has died. his roles included playing eddie in the movie "who framed roger rabbit." he was nominated for an oscar in 1986 for his role in "mona lisa." he died from pneumonia. he was 71 years old. brian? >> on a different note, the show cannot go on. that's what teachers in new york on long island are tell ago kindergarten class about its end of the year concert. why? school leaders canceled the concert telling parents it will give kids more time to prepare for college. becky is the parents of a kindergartener at that school and can't figure it out. becky, how disappointed was your child? >> to be fair, my child doesn't know one way or another about whether she's having this play. as the parent, i was disappointed because to me, it signals a shift in maybe educational values and

priorities. >> how can you seriously, with a straight face, tell the parent of a kindergartener, we have to put him in a college prep situation? >> that's the thing. the thing is when you read the letter that was sent around, which has been acknowledged to be silly, i think by the administration, the wording of it, if you look at some of the statements in it, like college and career ready, that's a real buzz phrase for the common core. every meeting that go to, you will hear college and career ready. harvard ready. rigor, increased rigor. so it's not just silliness, it's like a speaking point for the common core. >> right. and one of the quotes is it's part of the changing face of education. >> yes. and i'm not sure that that changing face is productive if it takes away creative learning from kids that are five and six years old in kindergarten. >> and obviously the biggest thing can common core is they teach to the test. here is what the school says. our educators believe that the traditional kindergarten performance requires multiple

days away from classroom work for preparation and execution and together with the lost instructional time due to poor weather is not the best use of the limited time we have with our youngest learners. so too many snow days. we got to put more curriculum and less to the theser. >> to me, that says then you're devaluing creative forms of education and only valuing seat work as education. last year they held that play, decades and decades they've held that play. our great educators saw central in it for decades and suddenly now that common core is in place, there is no more value in it? >> i sense that teachers -- my informal poll is teachers agree with you. they're not loving this. it's more the administrators that are administrating this. >> i don't know whether they're administrating it out of their minds or whether this is like a trickle down situation from albany, that we are so tied and we need the state funding so badly, are we in a situation

where our administrators will take marching orders from al beeny? >> do you have until june for your child to pick a college? >> we've already done early admission. hit first grade and straight to med school. >> what are you thinking? so it's outrageous, but it's important because most people can relate to the story on some way, shape or form because of the changing face of education. becky, thank you for joining us. >> thanks so much. i appreciate it. coming up straight ahead, we're going to say something really profound in j moment. ♪ ♪ ♪ (woman) this place has got really good chocolate shakes.
