the not so smooth criminal arrived at the san francisco court in a stolen car and was promptly arrested by police once again. >> we appreciate you joining us today. thank you so much. >> have a great day. "fox & friends" starts now. >> bye. good morning everyone. it is thursday, theç first of may, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. torrential rains soaking the country. one sink hole the size of a city block and more water on the day. we have tips you need to survive a flash flood. >> tension in the white house has the administration scrambeling e-mails linking the white house to a benghazi coverup. >> why did it take a court case for you to release this? >> i can say this again and again, this document was not about tkpwepbgz. >> not about benghazi?

>> then why was the e-mail titled benghazi, mr. carney. >> russiaç pushing back on sanctions saying that bear on a trampoline is now your own only ticket to space. wow. >> shepherd must be happy. >> mornings, according to everyone we talk to, are better with friends. >> welcome back to "fox & friends." >> gabe kaplan. i will miss those guys. >> what did they say? put a rubber hose up your nose?ç mr. carter! >> funny what people remember. >> that's horseshack. he passed away. >> anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. she'll be back tomorrow.

>> there was epstein, washington and barberino. >> you tune to a news channel for the news, and for that we turn to heather nauert. >> we've got breaking news from the south. parts of it we're talking about could be weather related. we begin with a fox news alert. there was a gas explosion and it hit a florida jail leaving two inmates dead this morning. more than 100 prisoners and corrections officers have been hurt. this happened in pensacola, florida. the explosion inside the jail central booking area caused part of it to collapse. no word on what causedç the blast but that area has been hit with heavy flooding. we'll keep you posted. millions of folks across the east coast are in the grip of a storm that just won't quit. relentless rain in pensacola, florida, causing this road to collapse, swallowing a truck.

the driver inside that truck managed to make it out believe. mobile, alabama, an elderly woman was one of those who had to be rescued. fire fighters carried her to safety after her car was stranded on a flooded street. a little girl in a kayak in her family livingç room. her family was trapped in their home in two feet of water. the only way to try to keep that little girl dry. >> in a botched execution of an oklahoma inmate, sparking a lot of outrage this morning and now calls for moratoriums on legal injections. witnesses at the execution report a grizzly scene after one of his veins ruptured when he was injected with an experimental cocktail of lethal drugs. >> he was trying to move his head up from the gurney, trying to move his shoulders from the gurney and moving his legs. this is when they closed the curtain because it became very clear that

whatever was happening was too dramatic for the media to see. >> the guy died 45 minutes later of a heart attack. a boat washed ashore in washington state and it could be from that deadly trenami two years ago. boat was covered in vegetation and shells. police say there are some sort of asian symbols on the hull of the boat leading to speculation it was from the tsunami. those are your headlines. i'll be back with more later. >> heather, thank you very much. brian, let's talk little bit about benghazi. at fox, we've been telling you this is a story we personally have talked to people who were there. we have heard stories about what's gone on. now it has started"uz hit the fan. with that e-mail that was released by the white house to judicial watch after they sued them, we now know that the white house had a conspiracy where essentially what they were trying to do was change the

story. let's blame that video; right, on what happened over in libya, in benghazi on that night where four brave americans died. well, now we know that there was a coverup as well because they had redacted, they crossed out all the stuff. then finally we got to see it. yesterday the white house press corps had it up to here. they realized they had been lied to for over a year and it even came down to where jay carney, who apparently is not paid enough because he tries to do a good job for the administration, he said that the benghazi memo that they prepared for susan rice before she went out on the sundayç shows, it wasn't about benghazi, even though at the top of it it said "benghazi." here's jonathan carl. >> you knew full well what susan rice primarily was going to be asked about was the attack, terrorist attack on a u.s. consolate. ambassador rice went on those shows and said the

attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over an internet video. we now know that was not true. >> i would point you to what mike morrell said repeatedly in testimony about the?x(áqpáion of the talking points. >> morrell said last month, when he heard that he said that is not something our analysts said. it came from the white house; right? >> you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> the topic was a prep call, prep with susan, meaning susan rice. it was sent at 4:00 saturday for sunday appearances. what i think is so exasperating, they rolled it in delayed on our channel, i think what is exasperating is you're trying to write a story, trying to follow through and you're trying to wonder if the guy talking to you

and explaining it has read into the reality of it. but you've got to go with what he says. jay carney was on that e-mail when itç seems ben rhodes whose goal was to take this incident that blew up and try to find a way to spin it in which the administration doesn't look back and makes it look like they're tough on terror. bin laden is dead and al qaeda is on the run. you can't say that and beat mitt romney if that is not true. if the truth came out about tkpwepbgz on september 14 -- about benghazi on september 14 that in fact would not have been true. how different would that debate have been if they had been able to look at the situation and sayç guys -- >> you mean how would the debate have been if the white house told the truth? >> it looks like they did know the truth and was trying to spin it behind the scenes. >> the mainstream media didn't cover it in prime time, newspapers didn't cover it on the front page,

although we did see it in "usa today" but it does appear the mainstream media is having a hard time covering it anymore. are they trying to protect hillary clinton in the next general election? is that it? or do they think this is a fox story that is tired and the american people are sick of hearing it. it proves fnc has been right all along and we should have been covering it. lindsey graham said last night this certainly is a smoking gun. >> this is proof positive that right after the attack, three days after the attack,ç they did not give a damn about the intelligence. they wanted to create a political narrative to protect the president and i think most americans find that offensive and i'm not going to stop until somebody is held accountable for allowing it to be a death trap, somebody be fired for not coming to the aid of these people for at least nine and a half hours and somebody be fired for not protecting the american people. and i don't believe ben rhodes did this by himself.

somebody in the white house higher up than this concocted this story because they were worried about the reelection. when susan rice said i have no regrets, i gave the american people theç best evidence available, that is a bald-faced lie. >> i'd like to see jay carney wired up to a lie detector. i'm kidding. jay carney said that particular prep memo was not about benghazi. yet the top line says benghazi. the other part, lindsey graham spoke about this last night, in it it says this, quote, the investigation is ongoing and the u.s. government is working with libyan authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the death of u.s. citizens. jay carney had been suggesting that was about the unrest at all the other embassies on 9/11 because of the video. but this particular thing that was circulated by ben rhodes and he's probably just the messenger, carney

suggesting it was general unrest. and yetç specifically in the document it talked about americans who died, only died i. jay carney, if he, if it wasn't about benghazi, it sure looks like it. >> if it was ed henry, he would have taken a shot at fox. instead it was jonathan carl. you saw jay carney's wheels spinning thinking, rather than answering the question, he paused and said i have no answer to your question. >> there were four other guys that asked questions about it. let's go toç gentleman's quarterly magazine. they are the ones who generally tell you how to get rid of that pimple real fast. >> also pull out the cologne and rub it on yourself and prepare tend you bought the bottle. >> yesterday they were talking about who should buy the l.a. clippers. they talked a little bit about donald sterling.

what they wound up doing was they said essentially, they insinuated that if you are a conservative you are a racist. >> this tweet went out and said good luck to donald sterling with whatever show he ends up hosting on fox news probably. how does that make us feel as fox news employees? are you kidding me? how does it make you feel as a fox news channel viewer? what do you think about this? e-mail us at fox news.com. does that mean if you're a conservative, you're a racist? >> it's interesting. in whatever blog we saw fellow, or gal wrote this, g.q. magazine you continue to insult half of your readers who are conservatives by assuming they are racists. hash tag unprofessional. >> here's another. i'm glad i no longer get you. >> g.q., maybe you ought to

♪ (vo) oh. my. tongue. finally. (announcer) all-new friskies saucesations.

a taste experience like no other. in cheesy, creamy, homestyle, or garden sauce. friskies. feed the senses. the city of detroit is in turmoil as it faces one of the worst financial problems in our history as a country. after filingç for bankruptcy last summer, the city is

now more than $18 billion in debt. and last year the budget deficit hit $380 million. but they're not alone. outside of detroit ten other american cities have filed for bankruptcy since 2008. so is this trend sure to continue? and what can other cities do to avoid these fiscal pitfalls? here with us now to weigh in is the author of a brand-new book "so much to do." richard ravage.ç richard, good morning to you. >> pleased to be here. >> we see this all across the country. it's not just detroit. it's a lot of towns and states that borrow way more money than they could possibly pay back. >> that unfortunately is the case. the reason new york city almost went bankrupt in 1975 is for the previous seven or eight years it borrowed to cover its deficits, just as it is perfectly okay to borrow to buy a home.

but it doesn't work if you have to keep borrowing to pay for your dinner. that's what got new york into trouble and that's what's getting a lot of other cities into trouble. but the fundamental underlying reason for it is that there's an enormous fiscal squeeze. retirement expenditures and health care expenditures are rising a lot faster than revenues. and federal budget cuts add states face. >> in the last year or so there have been some cities, including detroit -- and i know you can't specifically talk about the detroit situation because you're helping them out. but there have been other states that have suggested we need to turn to the federal government. and they need to bail us out. back in 1975 essentially new york city got kind of a federal bailout. we -- we, the federal government -- lent new york city a whole bunch of dough to dig themselves out of the hole. what about going forward now? you've got to figure in the back of some people's mind, like california, illinois,

they're all thinking if things get reallyç bad, we can turn to the feds. >> the feds have turned down california at a point a couple of years ago when they were in the most serious shape. i don't think that's forthcoming. what happened in new york in 1975 was the crisis started in may, at least that's when it became visible. the state of new york stepped forth, did a lot of things to help the city of new york, took over a lot of functions, paid a lot of costs. we had a governor who was brilliant politically and brilliant financially. and as a consequence, even though jerry ford in october said what the daily news characterized as ford to city: drop dead. a very famous line which sort of rattled the white; @&c@ house. and a month later gerry ford agreed to a loan.

and that was a loan that never cost the federal government a dime. they charged 100 basis points more than their cost of money and they were paid back immediately. spaeup -- >> that's good. of course the country is in much different financial straits. we have a debt of trillions. check out his book "so much to bear." coming up, a story we've been following. dozens of veteransç died waiting for care at a v.a. hospital. captain pete hegseth is here to talk about denying those deadly secrets. he got a d in biology. his parents say it's the school's fault. now they're suing the school. what? that story is coming up. ♪ ♪

answers, but the hospital director denies knowing anything saying no secret waiting list has been identified internally. we still have not seen the list of the 40 deaths. we have not seen these documents. veterans groups now demanding action. and here to explain is c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america and fox news contributor pete hegseth. good morning, pete. is this just another scandal similar to nose in the obama administration where you investigate yourself and then you of course don't find anything? or are you buying the argument there? >> the good old internal investigation. they dusted that one off again. that is exactly what this is. the folks that have identified this have multiple sources. we've seen e-mails between the directors and others referring to this second list. there is a real investigation,ç i.g. investigation, g.a.o. found similar problems. this is going to come to light. when it does, i don't know if it is going to be exactly 40 veterans that died waiting on a secret list but there are going to

be names and it is going to be specific and it will be clear. if we waited for o.j. simpson to cough up the old bloody glove we would have waited forever. this is their example. they are going to block as long as they can and hope we stop paying attention. >> allegations are quite startling involves screen grabs, printing those out, sending that information to washington, the paper copy, shredding documents, not ever hittingç save so appointments were never made. those are the allegations. the physician there, who is retired now, is saying i'm standing by what i said the first go round. so what are we going to see from sharon helman? should she lose her job to this? this is not the first time she's been under fire. >> she should lose her job from it. we've seen fleeing the scene not wanting to talk to reporters. when she did she said there is not an internal investigation. she doesn't want to talk about it. she should be fired. the v.a. secretary should

be fired. the problem is within this administration no one is held accountable. even if sharon helman was to be fired they would knee two performance reviews and even then they could probably only demote her. the problem at v.a. is no accountability because no ->> are they banking on groups like yours backing down? >> if they are counting on groups like ours backing down they are counting on the wrong thing. there is legislation in the house of representatives called the v.a. management accountability act which would empower the v.a. secretary to fire poor performers like sharon helman. this is not the first facility that she has been at the helm of where there was a coverup. they covered up the number of suicides in spokane, washington. without legislation where you can fire badç apples, poster children like sharon

if that campaign was intended for and sent by mr. rhodes, if that e-mail was intended for and sent by mr. rhodes, that is a felony, a violation of what's called the hatch act which is a federal statute that prohibits all federal employees except two from engaging in politics on the job. those two are the president and vice president. not anybody who works for them. that would be determined by a special counsel. the justice department will never dig deep enough on one of its own for that. >> if you have to appoint a special prosecutor, is that going to happen with theç valerie plame situation when president bush's attorney general said i can't do the investigation. and president bush said this weird thing. he told everybody to cooperate, and they did. now you have a situation, a very similar situation, different incident. how do we get to the bottom of this? >> if attorney general holder will not appoint a special prosecutor, you're not going to like the answer to this. i don't like the answer and people watching this are not going to like the answer, i think.

if the attorney general won't do so and the president won't order him, there is no way to compel him. >> what could the house do? >> the house of representatives could stop having politicians ask questions of the people that know about this and hire a serious trial lawyer with great cross-examination experience. i'll suggest a name. mike chertoff. michael chertoff, former secretary of homeland security, former special advisor, form federalç judge, one of the greatest prosecutors in our era, he knows how to ask questions. believe me, brian, hillary clinton is not going to be able to make speeches when mike chertoff is cross-examining her. >> will he have subpoena power to make people come? >> yes. he won't have the power to indict, which a special prosecutor would. but they would have the power to expose, to compel answers. and believe me mike chertoff, there are others, he's the best known, knows how to ask questions. >> are we overstating what has come down the pike and been exposed or do you think this is a major move

point in the benghazi case and i was disappointed at jay carney's efforts to hide that yesterday. >> right and he was c.c.'d on that memo. judge, thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, look at this one. one of these people is faking how they feel. who do you think it is? we'll show you how to spot a liar. he dishes out love to anyone trying to make money in the straupt business. business. -- in the restaurant business. >> you guys are wimping out. >> john tapper is here now taking on a brand-new challenge. he'll tell you about it.

at documents we've been asking for that you had to be sued to cough up. >> yeah. they're pressing jay carney on this who was copied on the e-mail, along with david plouffe , and about a dozen of president obama's closest confidantes. so yesterday even the mainstream media, jonathon karl pressing him pretty hard. listen. >> you knew full well it was susan rice primarily was going to be asked about that attack, terrorist attack on a u.s. consulate in benghazi. she witness on the shows and she said that the attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over internet video. we now know that was not true -- >> i would point you to what mike morell has said repeatedly in testimony about the creation of these talking points. >> just last month, when he heard that, he said that's not something our analyst said. now he said it came from the

white house. right? >> john, no. you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> okay. so there is jay carney talking points memo was not about benghazi. good try, jay, because up at the top of it, it says the topic, benghazi. jonathon karl was not the only person from the mainstream media who asked really hard questions. like we said, for over a year, those people have been lied to, the reporters and whatnot. keep in mind, last year the white house released what they said was a complete set of the documents. and then it turns out there was this. because so many things had been redacted, had been crossed out. so it looks like there was a cover-up because something was unclassified, then they unclassified it. sounds like the white house

lawyer who did that. then it was all about ultimately a conspiracy to change the topic, blame the video, not the fact that it was terrorism as well. you know, here at fox, some of our critics have said, why are you covering that? there is no there there. this proves there is some there there. lindsey graham has been criticized as well. and he responded to that last night on "special report". >> my response is that if i am doing something wrong for political reasons, i should have egg on my face and i should be punished by the people in south carolina. if what he is saying is a bold faced lie and that i'm correct that this administration hid the truth from the american people about a coordinated terrorist attack 'cause they were more worried about the president's reelection than telling the truth to the american people about why four people died, they need to be held accountable. when i wanted to get to the bottom of gitmo, i was a hero. when i challenged the torture policies of the bush administration 'cause i had been

a military lawyer, i was doing the country a service. you've got americans in harm's way as i speak tonight. many of them in uniform and throughout the foreign service feel like they've been let down by their government and the colleagues that serve their country that their death has been dishonored and what happened was distorted for political reasons. if for no other reason, somebody needs to be held accountable about lying for those who died. >> and why they were never rescued and why no one has ever been brought to justice. can you imagine there is some other communication that reveals why rescue operations were never put into play. >> this story is largely been called something that fox news channel covers, just a fox story. and there are a couple different schools of thought on why the mainstream media hasn't been covering it. have they not been covering it because they don't think it's a story anymore, that there is no scandal there? are they not covering it because the american people aren't interested in it? or are they doing it because

they are trying to protect the president or trying to protect hillary clinton should she try to run, which all indications are she will? so are we going to start to see more of this or is this going to continue to be something that we have to press here at fox news channel? >> i think a lot of the mainstream media has to pick up the ball and they did yesterday. let's see if they follow through, if their bosses let them cover the story. meanwhile, speaking of bald face lies, it sounds like the university of california-san diego has figured out some sort of technology or something like that to tell whether or not somebody is in pain and ultimately lying. >> right. so this is a. >> thing to do at work, if your co-worker is trying to say no, i wasn't the one who broke the printser. or if your kid is saying, i'm hurt or i'm sick, i can't go to school and they're grimacing in pain. take a look at this. >> i got to pick out who is lying? >> the guy on the left or right

is really not feeling well. >> one of them is faking it. >> one guy is laughing. >> one guy is kind of gritting his teeth. i'm going to go with the guy on the right. >> what's the question? >> who is faking it? >> well, according to the study, the one who is really in pain is this guy. researchers say notice how his mouth is tight and raised. this guy -- >> that was real. i was right! the guy on the right was faking it. >> when someone is faking their pain, they open their mouth at regular intervals. so next time there is like a foul in basketball or something and the player goes oh, oh, now we know. >> there was a problem with people taking diets in soccer. >> i think the nba has other problems -- >> i'm not sure. >> it has to do with open mouths. >> the results in the study are showing 50% of humans are able

diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions.

taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. we've got a fox news alert. a gas explosion rocked a florida jail leaving two dead and injured more than 100. massive flooding in the area. as of now, the cause is unknown. jonathan serrie is live on the scene. tell us what's going on there.

>> reporter: yeah. absolutely. the atf in florida fire marshal are on scene to determine the cause of this explosion. if you look at the building behind me, the county jail, you can see visible damage there from the massive explosion that central time. again, the cause unknown. however, based on the preliminary investigation, local officials believe that it may be related to extensive flooding in this area. there was water on the ground floor of the jail here from a massive storm system that came through here earlier in the week, dumping heavy amounts of water in this part of florida. two inmates are dead. officials say 100 to 150 other inmates were injured, or 100 to 150 others were injured. that includes both inmates and corrections officers. at the time there were a total of 600 inmates inside the building. about 400 men, 200 women. those who were injured were

brought to area hospitals. knows who were not injured have been brought to other detention facilities. authorities went into the building and swept it three times so they believe that all of the inmates and all of the staff are accounted for. but now the question is what caused this explosion in the central booking facility of the county jail. again, the atf and florida fire marshal investigating that at this hour. back to you. >> i bet they are. jonathan with the very latest, thank you. >> a lot of breaking news this morning. incredible new images out of pensacola, florida. nearly two feet of rain turning this roadway into a river, washing away cars and stranding drivers. >> the same storm pounding baltimore, maryland r -- where a sink hole the size of a city block opened up. ten in all cars wound up on a freight line. thankfully, nobody hurt because nobody was inside any of the vehicles. >> get this, more rain on the way. maria molina here right now, who

is following these storm, is finally back in new york city. great job. tell us what's happening now. >> we expect several more inches of rain across parts of northern florida, georgia, and parts of alabama. these are areas that were hit hard by flooding. i want to mention that the same storm system that produced the flooding along parts of the gulf coast is the one responsible for the tornado outbreak earlier this week and also over the weekend and that tornado that moved through mayflower, arkansas, has been confirmed as an ef-4, with winds close to 200 miles per hour. so that's why those images that we saw out of that area just so did he have stating and heart breaking. we expect more rain across parts of florida today with the storm system slowly winding down. take a look at some of these rain totals. we have seen more than 18 inches of rain across parts of alabama and also in florida with more rain expected today. we could be seeing that flood threat aggravated because the ground is saturated and farther off toward the north across the northeast, by the way, we saw some rainfall records being set

in la guardia. over five inches of rain. we expect some storms with the storm system as well, thunderstorms that could produce some isolated severe weather out there along parts of the east coast. keep that in mind. of course, we also wants to point out, with the flood threat in place, what happens if you're caught in your car during a flash flood and you're forced to break a window? some of the tips that are recommended for people is that you break side windows, not the fronts and rear window. that's because it has smaller surface area so that could really help you possibly save your life if you are caught in that. and we've seen these images out of florida, the florida panhandle of cars being swept away by flash flood. try to break a side window and not the fronts or rear. let's head back inside. >> thank you. ♪ ♪

spin this whole thing that it's not a policy failure, that it's all -- >> the video. >> sparked by this video. the mainstream media is catching on and starting to realize that where there is smoke there is often fire. jonathon karl pressing jay carney yesterday. >> you knew full well what susan rice was primarily going to be asked about was about that attack. terrorist attack on a u.s. consulate in benghazi. she witness on the shows -- went on the shows and said the attack in benghazi was rooted in protests over internet video. we now know that was not true. >> john, i would point you to what mike morell has said repeatedly in testimony about the creation of the talking points. >> just last months, when he heard that, he said that's not something that our analysts would say. that came from the white house. right? >> john, no. you're wrong. if you look at that document, that document that we're talking

about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> right. so he's saying that what was going on in the muslim world was about the video. unfortunately for him, as anna said, up at the top it said benghazi. so for him to say it wasn't about benghazi, also at one point in the document it says how we're going to work with the libyan authorities to bring justice to those responsible for the deaths of u.s. citizens. okay. the only time that people died in libya, the americans, were with benghazi. look, it's becoming very, very clear, the white house said last year, we've released a complete set of documents. they didn't do that. there was a cover-up, there were things that were unclassified, then classified by the white house lawyers so we couldn't see them. then now that we see them, it looks like there was a conspiracy to convince the american public seven weeks before an election that it was all about the video. it wasn't about the state department not giving the security they needed.

lindsey graham last night on "special report," as passionate as i have ever seen the senator from south carolina, he says clearly when you look at it, a lot of this had to do with actually 100% of it, had to do with getsing barak obama relie elected. >> my response is if i'm doing something wrong for political reasons, i should have egg on my face and i should be punished by the people of south carolina. if what he is saying is a bold faced lie and that i'm correct this administration hid the truth from the american people about a coordinated terrorist attack 'cause they were more worried about the president's reelection than telling the truth to the american people about why four people died, they need to be held accountable. when i wanted to get to the bottom of gitmo, i was a hero. when i challenged the torture policies of the bush administration 'cause i had been a military lawyer, i was doing the country a service. you got americans in harm's way as i speak tonight, many of them in uniform and throughout the

they2*qq' let down by their government and the colleagues that serve their country that their death has been dishonored and what happened was distorted for political reasons. if for no other reason, somebody needs to be held accountable about lying about how those who died. >> congressman chaffetz, senator graham, chaffetz is coming up later, have led the way on this. everyone is ridiculing them saying they're spitting in the wind. there is no there there. the president said there is no talking points. what are you talking about? and now it turns outs there were talking points, there were e-mails and they were withholding them and i think that more than just fox is angry. that's what i saw yesterday. meanwhile, two years ago, at that time there were attacks in the area, there were protests throughout other capitals throughout the middle east and north africa, at which time the president thought it would be a good idea to get on line, puts the tape together, leaning with the secretary of state, and have a message to the people of pakistan.

don't go crazy. we apologize. here is a little video to show you that that bad movie that's out that ridicules islam has nothing to do with america thinks. it costs us $70,000. now that we know that they don't think that, the riots were because of that. think about what we could have done with that money. >> yeah. $70,000 for this video that was the alleged cover-up of the alleged cover-up, this is how far they were going to do this. not only to protect president obama, but to protect then secretary of state. >> because they were doubling down. they had put that out. yeah, it's all about the video. so what do they do? they -- >> put the guy in jail. >> they hired alt those -- all those television stations. hillary clinton said the u.s. has absolutely nothing to do with this video. excepts use it as an excuse. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about gq, gentlemen's quartersly magazine. curious, apparently they don't like fox and apparently they

don't like conservatives and apparently what they did with one of their columns talking about the guy who soon used to own the l.a. clippers, what they have said is if you are a conservative, you're a racist. >> here is what a tweet said. it said good luck to donald sterling with whatever show he ends up hosting on fox news probably. >> right. that's pretty insulting i would think to not only us, but to you. mickey tweet this, gq magazine, i'm canceling my subscription and his web address at "fox & friends." >> sally says gq has a low i.q. >> and here is a viewer e-mail. g.q. magazine recruited my friend out of high school to model and turned him into a life long drug addict. wow. those are some strong words. really, maybe gq ought to stick to the colorful socks and the pocket squares and hair gel. >> how brilliant is gq?

necessarily to get what they want. so the lenders are crying and what they're doing is they're adapting and they're modifying and they're enticing the homeowner. they're enticing the consumer and buying cars to get back in the game and they're making it easier for them to do it. so once again, we have to be careful as prospective homeowners and consumers to exact plea what they're doing and saying. >> that's a good question. in fact, we've got a graphic to that points. what are the lenders doing now to get the consumer and the homeowner back in the arena to get money from them? >> auto financing, they're doing subprime loans. >> sub prime? are you kidding? >> no. auto financing they're doing. they're basically charging at some points 15, 20% on this money. you have wells fargo and other lenders that are lowering the fico scores down to 600 on fha loans. look, they understand, steve,

the emotion -- i talked about this before and unfortunately, human nature never changes. they want to own. so what do they do? they throw it out there again to the homeowner, prospective homeowner, the consumer saying we're going to make it easier for you to get into it. i want to be clear on something, even though fico scores have been lowered by some of the lenders, they still are requiring, steve, a high percentage, 15, 20% money down if you're going to buy a home. so they're wanting more money down in some cases. but what's important for our just understand what -- when you borrow money, alt they're doing is throwing money at you. what is it costing you? and can you meet the obligation? don't fall back and say it's so enticing, the emotional buy, steve, the opportunity to make money, six, seven years, investment properties in america is what got us, many of us, in a position where we lost so much.

>> and bob, what you're suggesting is what the banks are doing is giving noun people who can't pay it -- money to people who can't pay it back again and that led to a big bubble and where we are today. >> there is a risk. look, if you and i as a responsible citizen, you have to look at the way the economy is in our country, the way unemployment is still is in our country, can you really meet this payment if you hit a bump in the road? if you hit a bump in the road, guys, then you have to look -- i don't buy unless i know if something goes wrong, i can survive. we have to live that way anymore. if you don't and you miss a payment, you do this, the same domino effect is going to happen again. credit gets hit, bankruptcy gets hit, foreclosure happens, repo something of cars, we got back into the same jackpot we did several years ago. >> we got to look out for ourselves because nobody is look out for us. >> we cannot blame anybody anymore. we're more informed than ever

some stories make headlines in the medical world. a brand-new report shedding light on a connection between manicures and cancer. researchers visited 16 different salons in the united states and looked at those u.v. lights used for gel manicures. you know them, steve. they found it could take as many as 24 visits to some salons to reach the point where the light triggers cancer-causing dna damage. take that, marcus allen. and here is another reason to make broccoli parts of your diets. getting enough fiber may be a life saver for people who have had a heart attack. researchers at harvard say extra fiber increased long-term survival rates by 25%. so what would washington be like if our politicians and communication directsors acted like this? >> that was the planet. >> we can do this.

>> you're a did you go person, right? what kind of dog do you have? >> i have a real dog. >> an open secret in washington. >> do you know who is playing golf with? >> who. >> no, no. who? >> you don't know and you want me to find out. >> yeah. >> so funny. how close is the show "veep" mirror what really happens. matt walsh is an actor on the show, good morning. >> you ready for year three? >> yeah. i don't have to do anything. we made it. >> fictional character. it seems awfully real to me. >> according to people in dc, the show is fairly accurate to the way things happen behind the scenes. >> you work for the vice president. >> i'm the communications director for the fictional vice presidents. >> are you suggesting that this is what it's like working for joe biden? >> no. i think it's more about truthfully the humanity, like you're pushing ideals through a system. so it's human people trying to do their best and inevitably they're flawed human beings.

that's my take on it. >> good way to put it. >> americans have a fascination with what happens in politics and washington, d.c we've seen it. but this is funny. how does it keep viewers' attention? why is it season three and hopefully more for you? >> season three, she's running for president. like "west wing" was aspirational and" house of cards" is like conspiracy. i think our show goes for the joke, but it's also a little more realistic. this year the stakes are high because she's bringing in all these consultantses and we're all worried about our jobs. she wants the office so bad, she'll fire anybody. so we're all terrified of losing our position. >> does it scare you that people come up to you and see what it's really like and you have a vice president that's somewhat not ready for the job, so she's going to become president? does that scare you? >> yeah, it's a little disamonthsing when people say your show tackles what's wrong admire -- like i would never be a politician.

i think that's the worst job in the world. >> what would happen if selena myer became president? >> terrible things. nuclear holocaust, budget crisis. >> it's 'cause she's just not up for the job. >> she's not -- she has created that character, would not be a good president. no. >> i love the behind the scenes story. you're on hbo, so you can do some ad libbing there. >> there is some filthy talking. >> there is definitely filthy talk on cam remarks off camera. >> we know elaine benes is funny. so what is it like behind the scenes, when off gel together? >> it's great. we do a lot of improv, so there is great chemistry and we all hang out after the show because we spend a lot of time on the show insulting each other. so it's important to sort of mend that friendship after the show and have a drink and play cards and stuff. >> it is hilarious. my wife and i love the episodes

and my kids are all hooked on it. it airs sunday at 10:30 p.m. eastern time on hbo for the fresh ones. >> or get your friends hbo go number. >> i use kilmeade. >> thank you for saying that. >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> matt, thank you very much. straight ahead. >> who is that cry baby? it's throw back thursday and we're sharing our baby pictures next. >> i had a lot on my mind. >> devastating floods sweeping the country. up next, maria will be showing us how to survive a flash flood. check her out. ♪ ♪

thunderstorms possible on parts of the east coast with an isolatessed risk for severe weather. keep that in mind out there. this is the same storm that is responsible for the tornadoes that were produced across so many states over the last several days. i want to mention in mayflower, arkansas, that tornado was confirmed as an ef-4 with winds close to 200 miles per hour and we've seen so many images of flood waters sweeping away cars. we want to give you some tips here because if the unthinkable does happen and you are caught in your car during a flash flood and you're forced to break a window, you want to try to make sure you strike in the center of the window with as much force as possible. that's where it would be easier to break it and also try to break the window where the water is flowing away from the car. not towards the car because then you're looking at the water rushing into your car and also remember if you broke it, there is glass there as well. so that would be another big issue. let's head back inside. >> we should also point out when you just broke that, in that video, you cut up your hand

pretty hard. >> yeah. i used a window breaker. i don't think i could have broken it with my hand by itself. that window hammer really helps people break those windows much easier. so that's something also. throw in your car, keep it in there. >> you were really brave in that segment. thanks. let's turn to heather nauert who joins us now with the very latest on toronto's crack smoking mayor. >> we haven't heard about him as much lately. but we do talk about him when new video emerges. the crack smoking mayor, rob ford, back on crack again. a new video surfaced, reportedly showing him smoking crack in his sister's basement. he's announced he's taking a break and headed to rehab. his lawyer says he's fine low ready to deal with his real drug problem. he has a heisman trophy and national championship and now a rap sheet? a florida state star jameis winston, walked out of a publix

we've been talking about it all week. new e-mails blasting a hole in the white house's steer that then ambassador susan rice was just repeating the latest intel when appears on all those sunday shows in the aftermath of the benghazi attacks on 9-11-2012. one e-mail from a former aide outlined the prep work saying, quote, the goal is to underscore

that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure or policy. why weren't these e-mails given to congress when they asked for them last august? joining us now is a member of the house oversight and reform committee who asked for those e-mails, did not get those e-mails, congressman jason chaffetz. congressman, a lot of people watching this say, what's changed? what's changed for you now? >> we have a whole nother set of documents. the oversight committee has roughly 3200 new documents that we've gotten in the last 30 days. despite the white house saying this is a phony scandal. it was done a long time ago. what difference does it make, you ever the white house press secretary in an embarrassing moments, tried to say that the ben rhodes e-mail had nothing to do with benghazi. that's absolutely laughable. today we're going to hear from a general, air force general who was there in germany as this was going down in the room. we're going to hear from him, what was happening in that room? were the facts as we knew them? and the white house just can't

keep saying we were dealing with the best intelligence we had. oh, yeah? what was that intelligence? what did the military think was going down? >> so we had talking points ahod mike morell said i had no idea where that word tape came from. but you also have him dealing with offering a his services to help work something outs with the state department. that's also in these documents. >> he said that he was worried it would be embarrassing to the state department. that doesn't sound like somebody who is trying to get out the truth about what's going on in benghazi. you would the station chief himself say it had nothing to do with a video and that that led to some sort of mob that got out of control. >> one thing, you guys got to help gregory hicks 'cause his career is all screwed up because believe. but today, you're going to talk to general lovely -- lovell. what is he going to say about these giocoso have been saved or

at least helped? >> we got to hear it from his own lips. but i think generally what happened is they were waiting for hillary clinton and the state department to offer some direction. they were there in a support mission to the state didn't. what did hillary clinton direct? what did she wants? what was her communication with the president? ends up hillary clinton didn't even speak with the president that night. so you have air force -- the pentagon and resources, they tried to come up with this lame story that they couldn't have gotten there in time. i'm worried that they didn't even trio get there. that's what i want to ask the general this morning. >> is it time for the speaker of the house to commission a select committee and get a real prosecutor asking questions consistently with follow-ups and start making some progress on this? >> i think we have been making progress, but it's getting increasingly difficult to deny the fact that we have a major, major scandal. we have lies that are perpetuated by this white house. i don't know how over the course of time we continue to resist the idea of creating a select

committee, if we're going to be stove piped. the reality is we're issuing subpoenas that are going out there. but they have got to comply with those. when the white house and the state department don't comply with subpoenas, we got a major, major problem in this country. >> you know what? they're not. judicial watch is having a court order to make them do it is the only thing that do. it makes me wonder if anything is going to change. anyone who passes away, talking points is not going to happen and there is no there there, i think they have a hard case to prove. congressman, you've been there, been to libya, done the research. i look forward to the hearings today. thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. coming up next, "fox & friends" will wrap things up and say something that might change your life. ♪ ♪
