anything up to now. they have been promising up that these girls have been found but up to this moment i am talking nothing has been done. no single military security personnel have gone to look for these girls as i am talking now. >> that extremist group has been terrorizing nigeria with bombings and gunning down those going toç church. back here at home, in a fewç hours from now the three daredevil base jumpers who were caught on camera parachuting off the new world trade center building will head to court today. they are set to be arraigned on charges of burglary and trespassing, this as we're getting new video of september's death-defying stunt. listen. >> three... two... one. >> crazy; right? the lawyers fortç jumpers

say they want the charges reduced claiming his clients actually did a service by pointing out poor security at the site. what do you think of that? happening today, primary season is revving up. house speaker john boehner faces two tea party opponents in his home state of ohio. he is favored to win but has run television ads in the district for the first time in four years. ohio is one of three states holding primaries today. following last week's tornado, a woman in north alabama discovers a wedding gown lying in a field of debris, and she's now trying to find out who this gown belongs to. it is a size 6 dress and appears to be a little bit older indicating it could be a family keepsake. a local dry khraoeurpbç -- cleaner is offering to make that dress look like new and hoping it will be returned toxe its rightful

owner. >> how about that? >> they probably thought it was gone forever. >> hope they get it back. tweet us if you have any ideas. >> whisk. >> the big news yesterday is there will be a chairman of this benghazi select committee that was announced on friday, thanks to speak boehner saying i've been won over. the facts are out there and we don't have enough of them. i need somebody in charge. with a prosecution background, just in his second term and somebody trey gowdy, the guest at the washington correspondent's dinner of greta van susteren will get the nod. right away there is a problem. he needs to get all the evidence front and center and there is already a major memo not out yet. >> there is passion when it comes to trey gowdy trying to get to the bottom of what happened at benghazi. he sat with greta van

susteren talking about what his goals are. why no rescue of movement once they knew there was an attack? why is the truth so hard to get from this administration? but he said in fact you can't get the truth without the facts. right; steve? >> that's right. >> i want to see every single solitaryç relevant, material document. in fact, i want to see everything for which there can be any argument that it is relevant, and then we can judge whether or not it's material. you can't draw conclusions if you don't have all the facts. what this committee is going to do is once and for all lay out all the facts and then your jury can draw whatever inferences and conclusions they want to. washington is its own ecosystem. they wouldn't like it if i cured malaria tonight because i'm a republican. of course they're going to be critical. that's not the jury. >> that'sç right. there are a lot of fair-minded people who want the answers. there are some partisans.

we heard from jay carney yesterday. the white house is on the defense now. the press briefing yesterday was dominated by questions about benghazi and that's the last thing the white house wants to talk about. they want to talk about global warming and stuff like that. there is a new fox news poll out should congress continue to investigate benghazi until somebody is held accountable. 60% of you say yes. a quarter say absolutely not. meanwhile when it comes to benghazi and the obama administration, is the administration trying to cover up, 61% of you say yes. are they being open and transparent? only about a quarter of you say yes. the key to this whole thing is whether or not the mainstream media are going to cover it going forward. if there are bombshells, it's going to be hard not to cover. >> here's one. there is anç e-mail that gowdy and i think everybody out there should want, i believe, because in the e-mail, according to captain heritage, there is a little subject line where it says essentially fox

news, semi colon, u.s. attack ws terrorism within 24 hours. that is the story we had. we're running with it. you know what that does, subject line is, that is an internal e-mail sent throughout the white house which demonstrates a seven-page strategy how to deal with people like fox news, captain heritage in particular, bret baier, adam housely leading the charge when it comes to this investigation. you would think if you have a counter strategy to that maybe within the counter strategy you might have pathway to the truth. >> it is important to know trey gowdy was originally hired under the clinton administration in south carolina for the a.g.'s office there. he said himself this should transcend politics. we should be demanding the truth as americans, but americans should be demanding the truth because the families of those who were so viciously killed deserve it. bottom line. >> you're right. national review today has a great on-line column that says why benghazi matters. and here's one part of it. it says the white house

misled the american public about a critical piece of national interest, and it continues to practice deceit as the facts of the case are sorted out. that to answer hillary clinton's callous question, is what difference it makes. so stand by. trey gowdy is theç guy. they're going to start releasing the rules on how they're going to do it in the next day or two. >> look for 10 to 20 members being named. i'm curious to see if democrats are going to be in there. are they going to obstruct? are they going to participate? that will decide how this thing will go. >> we're going to shift over to another story. you remember the scarlet knights? their commencement speaker in prior years was snooki. i believe she made $32,000. >> she was eup sraoeuted on campus to give a speech. >> condoleezza rice was actually asked to come and to theç president's credit and many in the school, they supported her being there. but there was a group, sort of an infectious cell, professors and students,

who protested the fact that condoleezza rice would actually be there on campus based purely on her politics. >> they just didn't like the fact that she was in the bush administration. and so these members of the intolerant left, they had, i think they had a sit-in. they took over an office, they had protests stuff like that. eventually condi rice, the president of rutgers university didn't ask her to change her mind. condi rice said this is not the time for me to show up. karl rove last night was on. he's worked with condi. he rips rutgers, deservedly so. >> shame on the little totalitarian to the left and their faculty agent who perpetuatedç this. this is political correctness gone nuts. i'm sorry that a small group of misguided students and a nutty organic professor had their way. this was politically motivated, politically aimed, ideologically aimed

and stupid. they didn't even have their facts right. hypocritical and stupid. >> "fox & friends" learned exclusively on saturday, actually friday to the announcement saturday morning, you see the fact that the former secretary of state national security advisor said i don't mind showing up, i don't mind awkward situations but i'mç an academic person at heart and if i am taking the spotlight from kids who worked so hard, from the faculty, that would bother me if i became a sideshow and took the spotlight away. she decideed to step away. as was brought up later by karl rove, i think it is bad news for hillary clinton, bad news for john kerry, bad news for president clinton because anyone who supported the iraq war would not qualify to be speakers at rutgers university. as somebody who has somebody going to college at 17, if he had chosen rutgers, i would absolutely change my mind. the same way i would feel if madeleine albright was told you don't come down because i don't agree with

the bosnia operation. i don't think we should have gotten involved there. >> the whole list of people you suggested, brian, if it applies to her, it applies to them. no, because they're all onç the left. >> then the criteria is wrong. >> where is the outcry? honestly, where is the outcry? she's not black enough? she's not female enough? where are the women? did they make statements consistently. >> she grew up in the segregated south who emerged as secretary of state, i think that should be celebrated. you don't skwrublg the party she's in. i think you judge the person she is. >> not liberal enough. >> how many times have we heard ifç you're protesting barack obama, you don't like him because he's black. you are a racist. is racism at play here? we hope not. we told you the store about rutgers player eric le

grant. he was paralyze. he got the call on friday condi rice is going to be our speaker. you're going to be our commencement speaker and he thought fantastic, until monday when the athletic director called and said we have changed our mind. they decided to go other ways for political reasons. they asked tom kaine, the former republican governor of the great state of new jersey, to stand in instead. >> unbelievable. >> rutgers looks terrible. >> that is not making anything look better. made it worse. >> one of the nation's largest veterans groups demanding the fire the v.a. secretary but our next guest was the first to call for that and thinks more needs to be done. why he thinks harry reid can help. scottie mccrery held at gunpoint. that terrifying scare straight ahead. ♪ ♪

welcome back. amid allegations of deadly delays in medical care for veterans, one of the nation's largest veterans groups now taking the rare step of calling for the resignation of top v.a. officials. yesterday's announcement marks the first time in more than 20 years that the american legion called for leadership change at the v.a. pete hegseth is the c.e.o. of concerned americans for veterans and fox news contributor. his organization called for eric shinseki to resign more than a year ago. good morning, pete. >> good morning, elisabeth. >> your reaction in certainly calling for this is important. >> it is. it's a powerful move. i may lead concerned veterans for america but i'm also a proud legion member of over ten years. yesterday was a proud day to see an organization like that, the single largest veterans organization in america, take a courageousç

stand to say we've worked with this v.a. secretary, we want the v.a. to work but he's failing us and his time is up. since 1941 for a secretary level cabinet member. that was a labor secretary. this is a huge step and i think a game changer for reform at the department of veterans affairs. the white house cannot afford to ignore this. this step, i think, will open doors for others who have been saying it privately to step out with it. >> what will this mean moving forward? obviously you can try to solve the problem by cutting the head off theç snake. but in terms of fixing the issue, what now will occur? >> i think first you have to send a clear example that accountability and leadership matters. that's why the firing of shinseki will be that clear signal after six years a of veterans affairs&uez to deliver. that is only one aspect of it. that is why we're supporting the v. management accountability act.

the legion supports this act which will empower the next v.a. to fire bad managers, those leading hospitals and benefits facilities that have backlogs and wait times and preventible detectives, all the things we have been reading about in the news in phoenix and colorado, all the things your show has highlighted powerfulfully. that v.a. secretary has to be able to hold people accountable. let's start with shinseki, put the tools in the next guy and get busy reforming v.a. >> you haveç an exclusive new message from concerned veterans with america that you want to share with us. it is the first time. take a listen. >> a broken system, a culture of indifference, veterans are waiting and dying because of massive delays at v.a. instead of fixing the veterans from getting adequate care, administrators engage in elaborate coverups. investigateors found v.a. creates two waiting lists

demand accountability. tell harry reid to stand withç our veterans and support accountability at the v.a. >> so i'm asking why harry reid? >> harry reid is going to be the key aspect in accountability. the house of representatives and speaker boehner already indicated they're going to bring:tmnt the v.a. management accountability, this act i'm talking about to the house floor for a vote. we don't know when>ó@kñ but they're supportive of it. the question will be in the u.s. senate, will senator harry reid and his@$hñ colleagues, and republicans stand up for the v.a. management accountability act, senate bill 2013? he's the one with the keys to the kingdom. we've seen other bills die in the senate. as the veterans organization we're going to work with o groups like the legion to put the pressure on. this is the start of that kind of campaign. we're not going to let harry reid get out of our veterans deserve the best. they deserve a vote. it will be the united states senate that matters the most. >> pete hegseth, always great to see you here. ronald reagan dealt with

here is our a team. the pouncen of youth may be running through your veins. a new study revealing young blood, blood from a younger person transfused into you perhaps can improve and reverse the aging process. it works in mice. but can is it do the same in humans? let's talk to dr. david samati. harvard did a study and realized mice in older mice and saw it stopped or reversed the aging process. >> we're opinioning $260 billion every year to look younger, to feel better, to think smarter and to also live longer. so the anti-aging process is becoming so popular, everyone wants it. this study from stanford took the blood from the mice three

months old, which is a 20-year-old person, and put it in 18 month old mice, which is 60-year-old. and found by injecting the blood, within three weeks the nerves are getting better. the connection between the nerves, cognition, the memories. and there are certain proteins in the brain that actually become activated and they can think better. this is a fascinating one. the ones you mentioned from harvard also is another protein. this is gdf 11. they found as get older, you lose those proteins. so there is something here that needs to be translatessed into the human clinical trial. >> i hate to have everybody listen in as i come up with a great idea, but if it's all about this protein in the blood of younger people, forget about the transfusion, 'cause you got to have a needle and stuff. let's just take the protein and put it in a pill and it would do all that same stuff, right? >> and you would be the primary investigator in this exactly the research 'cause that's where they're going. and you're going to be part of

this. this is very smart. they're going to find out exactly which protein is responsible for this and try to do this in clinical trials in human beings and what great thing, if we know what exactly which protein causes this, to make some sort of real vitamin. not the antioxidant and stuff that may or may not work. but take this, and a lot of it, and it can slow down the process of aging. where is it going to play a big role? alzheimer's, dementia. >> sure. of course, we have to point out this is just a couple of studies that have been done in mice. we don't know if it would work in people. but still, maybe. >> yeah. it's a great, cute study that's always going to need to be done in humans. usually what translates in mice may or may not work. i like it. when they took the blood from theñ1&= older mice and put it d mice, nothing happened t. didn't

work. so there is some merit here. they found really interesting proteins that we look forward to bringing this to human trials. >> as man of medicine, if it turns out to work, would you, as a doctor who probably doesn't like the idea of a blood transfusion, do it to reverse the aging process? >> that's an excellent question. you got to find out exactly what it involves, what kind of side effects we have. if it's going to help better memory and make us smarter, i would do it. >> i think you're probably right. >> get involved in the research. >> i'm going to go on line and patent it. >> that's right. >> thank you. coming up, nearly one in four women are now the bread winners. but is that a recipe for disaster? one of the women says it canu+y4 and she's here with the tips every couple needs to know. then george clooney firing back at steve wynn for saying the actor lives in a bubble. clooney's outrageous response next live from new york and

>> that last one is a doozy. why we're now seeing this brand-new video of base jumpers parachuting off the new world trade center in the darkness of night. >> hotel mogul steve wynn speaking out about actors like george clooney? >> artists, actors, people like that, they live in a very strange bubble of their own. >> wow. this morning george clooney is firing back from that bubble. mornings are better with friends. watch this animation. >> this is dorothy hamill and you're watching "fox & friends". thank you, dorothy. >> the hamel camel. i don't know wherever she is, i wonder if in the figure skating world they're talking about benghazi. >> i love her. i triple lutz her. >> yeah. she's short, sassy, and she's

always fun to have around. >> sure. and she's a friend of this program and we love her. let's talk about what they were talking about pretty much through the entire white house briefing yesterday and that is benghazi. the white house is on the defense this morning because the house has now named a chairman for this select committee. it's trey gowdy:g[ of the republican of south carolina. he is a former federala@ prosecutor. if anybody can get to the truth, he's a good leader. >> interestingly enough, he was named under the role of attorney general under work in that office under the clinton administration. bipartisan ties there. but this is what we know about the select committee. the resolution could actually receive a committee hearing wednesday and then hit the house speaker boehner plans to name some democrats to the panel unless they choose to boycott. >> yeah. by the way, there is going to be between ten and 20 people.

they're going to have aides, five standing committee members. no word yet if democrats are going to totally boycott the thing. i'm not sure they will. i think the main thing trey gowdy tried to get across is i need all the information. you got to be able to give it to us. one thing important to bring up, there is a seven-page memo which the administration is not giving up. they say it's secret. if it's a seven-page strategy how to stop fox news' strategy. we kept asking questions about problems with the benghazi investigation, what was with the video, and because of that, the administration put out a seven-page memo featuring did you know necessary mcdonough and the higher ups about a strategy. so judicial watch said can we see that? basically they said no. these are the types of things we're never going to get to the bottom of this if they don't hand over everything they're supposed to hand over. meanwhile, if jay carney is trying to say this is a fox story, someone should tell everybody at the press briefing yesterday because the first four questions were all about benghazi. there wasn't one ed henry or any

other fox reporter there to interrupt that array. >> one of the things jay carney did talk about yesterday was you know, we've gone through this many, meantime. the arb, accountability review board has looked at this and mistake were made, but -- when you look at the way the arb was handled, they never talked to hillary clinton. >> no. >> how can you not talk to hillary clinton? how can you not have the people who were on the ground that day testify? senators rand paul has that question and posed it last night right here on this channel. >> what were they doing at the c.i.a. annex? there have been reports that weapons were being taken from libya, funneled through turkey and into syria and were we part of that? was the whole story, the whole talking points and saying this was about a movie,s that to obscure the truth of what was going on? we've never known the true because all the people in the

c.i.a. annex were told not to testify and they were sent to various parts of the world to keep them from testifying. >> not only that, not only were think sent off, but a lot of these guys are still working for various government agencies and they were told -- i am told -- that if you talk, you're not going to work for the government anymore. and you got that retirement? don't count on that. don't count on a paycheck. your family will go hungry. plus we might sue you. and you don't want the federal government to sue you. so there is good reason we haven't heard from anybody yet. but this committee will have subpoena power. so it looks like we're -- >> it's going to go through the mid terms this fall. it will an ongoing situation. >> trey gowdy has pursuit and precision on leading the trip to truth, which the american people deserve and the families who lost loved ones deserve. we're going to turn to heather nauert. welcome back. >> good morning. great to be back. the f.b.i. has teams on stand-by

right now to help rescue nearly 300 kidnapped nigerian teen-agers. the islamic streamist group is claiming responsibility fort kidnapping that took place three weeks ago. the leader released a new video threatsenning to sell them as brides and attack more schools in the area. parents of the children are now placing blame on the nigerian government. take a listen to this. >> not doing anything up to now! they have been promising us that these girls would be found! oporto this moment i am talking, nothing has been done. no single security personnel has gone to look for these girl as i am talking now. >> the extremist group has been terrorizeing nigeria with bombings and terrorist attacks on christians attending church. is the irs washington's most powerful weapon against russia? there is a new agency regulation

that goes into effect later this summer and it would hit russian banks with a 30% tax on u.s. investment. that would leave russian foreign investors with a huge u.s. tax bill and could cost russia a lot more than sanctions. russia has been in talks to dodge this before it took over crimea. so we'll watch this story as it develops. here in new york, daredevil base jumpers who parachutessed off the new world trade center building are about to face a judge this morning. the three are being arraigned at 9:30 today on burglary and trespassing charges. this as we're getsing in new video from youtube of that september stunt. look at this. >> three, two, one. >> wow. listen to what the lawyer for these guys are saying. they're saying they want the charges reduced because they claim their clients did a

artist, they live in a relatively small world running a business gives you a sense of compassion that is defined in different termination than someone who just thinks of themselves as generous who lives in a single environment. we know that real compassion, real benefits to the people, the working people of america will only take place as long as america is healthy and healthy means we can't owe 18 trillion or $20 trillion because that day will cause all the working people in america to suffer. >> okay. that was friday. >> right. then george clooney responded in people magazine and he said don't bubble talk me, bro. quote, i did not intend a private boys school. i worked in tobacco fields and construction sites. i've been broke more of my life than i've been successful and i understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it

is to make ends meet. steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with, end quote. >> yeah. mr. clooney also says they've only met three times, twice for dinner. can you zoom in on that right there? there is tom brady as a blond. there is giselle, tom brady. he's blond now. >> and you. >> andn.fs me. >> that's right. way to be. the bland three right there. so we'll keep you posted on that exchange with clooney. >> in the meantime, here in new york city, it's 7:11. we know exactly what hillary clinton thinks about benghazi. >> the ít is, we had four dead americans. was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some americans.

what difference at this point does it make? >> well, the senator she was yelling at right there says he now knows why she responded that way. ron johnson is in the studio and is coming up and is going to talk to elisabeth hasselbeck next. and how much would you pay to get just one extra hour of sleep? the study is in. people are willing to shell out big bucks just to nod off for an extra hour. 100 bucks. ♪ ♪ i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant,

terms of before, what happened before the attack, what happened during the attack and what happened after. before, the dereliction of duty of this administration, the secretary of state, and not only denying requests for additional security, but ramping down security. the small con tingent of armed security guards would have prevented that attack. >> is that what we'll hear if they do get some sort of testimony and interview from hillary clinton? >> we pretty well know that just from cables. but the whole point of during the attack, what was the president doing? what was secretary clinton doing? why didn't -- it was 12 hours before those survivors were air lifted out of benghazi. nobody knew this was going to end in 12 hours. why didn't we send any available asset just as cover? there were people that could have got therein within 12 hours. this administration didn't send anybody. why? who made that decision not to respond, not to provide help? >> you mentioned the officials that were there. they as expressed earlier, that

they had been afraid to come forward. will they be able to do that? >> i certainly hope so. again, i think it's up to the administration to honor its promise of being the most transparent in history. it's been almost two years now. the american people need the truth. the survivors, the families of those dead americans need to know the truth and one question i want to ask, i really want every american, put yourself in the position of secretary of state clinton when she was on the tarmac at andrews air force base, really representing america to offer sincere con dellences. would you as an american offered those sincere condolences or would you have seized on that opportunity to perpetuate, to plant the cover-up, really to cover-up your dereliction of duty. i want americans who may consider voting for her for president consider how she acted that moment which should have been a solemn and sincere moments of condolences.

>> right, there has been dismisssiveness of tone of #throwbackthursday, as we saw with bret baier's interview with tommy vietor. this is a waste of time. why this attitude when it comes to lives so viciously taken of our own? >> yeah. my standpoint is pretty simple answer, is i believe they're trying to cover up their dereliction of duty before. i think they're feeling pretty guilty that they denied that added security that would have saved or certainly prevented the deaths of those four americans. >> senator. >> thanks. >> have a great morning. >> new calls for punishments after veterans are left to die in that phoenix v.a. hospital. top v.a. officials told to step down are not going down without a fight of their own. and nearly one in four women now are the family bread winners. is this a recipe for disaster? one of them says it can be and she's here with the tips every couple needs to know and have. ♪ ♪

congressman trey gowdy. the newly appointed chair of the benghazi select committee saying he wants answers. we know many of you have questions about this special committee. so here to tell us more, fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. we're going to group them into three things. first of all, the question people have, why has congress appointed select committees in the past? >> that's a really good question. go back to the beginning of our republic. george washington had to put up with a congressional investigation into something called st. clair's defeat. when 1,000 u.s. army troops were basically defeated by a group of native american folks here in the united states. there was a big congressional investigation. then iran-contra during the reagan administration. that became a select committee as well. world war ii. the pearl harbor attack became the subject of not one, but eight investigations, including joint congressional investigation. so there is historical

precedents for such a committee. >> also historically, have democrats ever boycotted one of these things? >> most recently the democrats boycotted the katrina select committee in congress based on the katrina disaster. they can boycott it as a matter of law, as a matter of tactics though, i think they'll be perceived by the american people as putting their head in the sand and perhaps insensitive to the deaths of four americans. why wouldn't they want to know the answers and why wouldn't they want to be part of the constitutional congressional oversight of the executive branch here in this particular case? >> sure. what do republicans believe they can learn? >> there is a lot of people who say this is about the midterm elections. this is about politics. well, it is about politics in the sense that it's about the political process. unfortunately, it appears that the white house, by their own statements, by the statement of their press secretary, mr. carney, by the now released

e-mails that were withheld by mr. rhodes that were not put forward to congress but put result of an order, americans are saying, why were you holding stuff back? why are you taking names out? why are you saying it's secret day and not secret and not classified? there is a real concern that a lot of americans have that the truth was not told about benghazi at so many levels. the most important, i think, is that it goes to our confidence in our government. it's not about the republicans taking the congress. i could care less whether republicans take the conger not. i would say it's probably better for the future of our country. but the future of our country is best served when a government is known and expected to tell the truth to its citizenry. so if they haven't told the truth in benghazi and we don't have all the details, where was the president on the night of benghazi?

why wasn't there security? why now do we hear so much about a video when intelligence officials had nothing on their plate? those are legitimate questions for congressional inquiry. so it's a political process, but political. i think it's about the truth and it's about whether our government can sustain itself. >> we just need some answers. >> a lot of answers. >> great questions and answers, peter. >> thanks. see you tomorrow. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. a new poll shows the republican party has a slight advantage. but what happens if republicans team up with progressives and libertarians? former presidential candidate ralph nader says they can actually agree on things and it could be monumental. with brian. the moment a busy highway in and wait 'til you hear where that road leads. ♪

got quick headlines for you. a bridge fire gas from bad to worse in california. that roadway collapsing after flames burned for 12 hours, stranding drivers in their cars. a construction worker accidentally started the fire with a blow torch. it looks like it was under construction. the road, which the main route to las vegas, is now shut down. overnight, a tragic turn in the search for the victims of the south korea ferry disaster. the civilian diver died while

searching in the last three unopened rooms for the 40 people who are still missing. all right. brian, over to you. >> all right. the mid terms just months:w awa. recent poll shows republicans so far have the strongest advantage in at least two decades with a four-points lead in a rents poll. they have that slight advantage, but what happens if republicans team up with progressives and libertarians? our next guest is the author of this book called "unstoppable." joining us is former presidential candidate, consumer advocate, ralph nader. how will republicans and democrats finding a common ground now? >> on many issues. recently they pushed over corporate lobbyists the passage of the federal whistle blower act on corporate fraud on the taxpayer. that was a big win for left-right alliance. you can see it in the past whenever they got together, they form an unstoppable majority. going forward, we're seeing

emerging in various stages a left-right alliance to bring the minimum wage up to where it was, inflation adjusted in 1968 for 30 million workers. we see a left-right alliance to revise the patriot act and preserve our civil liberties and stop government dragnet snooping. we see a left-right alliance to crack down on wall street speculation, break up the big banks who are too big to fail because they're risking another crash. and to prosecute the crooks on wall street, we're seeing an increasing left-right alliance to pull back on empire and wars overseas and the bloated military budget. and we're seeing a,-n left-rigt alliance to revise those job-destroying trade agreements. nafta, wto and the emerging pacific trade agreement. that's a pretty good start. >> think about a lot of the issues you just brought up.x5wz bush 41 was trying to get nafta done, bill clinton finished it offment when you tack about

corporate banks, you can't say it's republicans when it was bill clinton that took down stegall. republicans and democrats. and then you have someone like rick santorum, and rand paul talking about a lot of the same things you are. so you have to sometimes look at the cards a couple of times to find out who your guest is and what their point of view is. however, when asked, i was surprised by this in this recent poll that, when asked what candidate they'd vote for, by two to one, americans wants a president-elects to pursue different programs than the obama administration rather than similar ones. this is a president who was just relie detectorred two years ago. -- reelected two years ago. >> this left-right alliance is not really about elections. it's about a democratic society where left-right majorities become vocal, become emerging, become demanding and they make the incumbents, whether they're republicans or democrats, shape up and respond to the majority will of the people.

it's not necessarily just republican, democrat, red state, blue state. it's breaking through the fount necessities of what the american people wants done in this country and not done. as representatives, the politicians, they better put their finger to the wind 'cause i see this coming all over the country. i give 24 areas of convergence against the commercialization of childhood, bypassing, undermining parental authority, selling these young kids junk food, violent programming, that comes in over 85%. just imagine what it would be with tax reform, with these giant corporations going offshore, making billions of dollars in profit in the u.s., paying no federal income tax. that's another left-right alliance. >> there was actually a tax reform plan, left-right,ç simpn bowls that, would have cut into that, got spending under control, many thought. that was totally ignored. maybe it will be different now, a couple years later.

we now know who is in charge of the new select committee on benghazi. but what happens if democrats boycott the benghazi investigation? we're joined by a member of the house oversight committee who has been part of the investigation so far, republican jim jordan from the great state of ohio. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> all right. you've been out in the halls talking to some of your members across the aisle. are democrats going to boycott or do they see some value in being part of this?

>> i certainly hope they don't boycott. again, you got to come back to the facts. four americans were killed. this is an important committee where i think we can most effectively and efficiently get to the truth. so let's hope they don't and let's hope they participate and help us do just that and get to the truth. >> sure. this morning we ran a new fox news poll that shows that 61% of americans feel that the administration is trying to cover up something. so it's in their best interest to come out and come clean. >> sure. i hear that from people all across the state and country when i'm out and about. people wants to know what happened, why we didn't send help. there is lots of important questions, like why was the security -- additional security not provided when there were repeated requests for it before the attacks? 200 security incidents before the attack, yet when they asked for help, they were denied it? the key question which we found

out last week, why this false narrative that the video was the catalyst? all those questions need to be answered. the most effective to deal with that is a select committee. i'm pleased the speaker called for it and i'm very pleased that trey gowdy will be the trailer. >> the white house keeps saying we have had many investigations in the past. we had this accountability review board and it is pretty much exonerated everybody. we didn't do anything wrong. but that was not a real investigation. they didn't have a stenographer. there was no verbatim. it's just kind of what the guy remembered he wrote down. >> steve, sheryl mills, hillary clinton's chief of staff, picked the two people who headed it. they didn't interview hillary clinton. they let them look at the report before it went public. to say that's a definitive statement on what went on in benghazi is as far from the truth as you can be. underscoring why we need this select committee. >> are you hopeful that at the end of this process, we will know what happened? >> of course.

the american people deserve that. the families of these four individuals who were killed, including our ambassador, they deserve it. the american people deserve it and wants it. so let's have this select committee. let's get to the truth. >> that's what we all want. jim jordan joining us from capitol hill, thank you very much. >> thank you. we're going to step aside. more "fox & friends" coming your way in two minutes.

all right. we broke into a discussion group. who wants to talk to the boy from the school where they banned him from reading the bible? who wants to do that tomorrow? he's going to join us live. >> that's right. jason priestly here live. are you normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow is going to answer e-mails. you think that's a good idea? >> i think it's a great idea. >> we're all in agreement.
