then to the state of ohio, house speaker john boehner defeating two tea party challengers in his bid for a 13th charm in congress. the u.s. is now joining the manhunt for the leader of a nigerian terror group behind the kidnapping of more than 270 young girls. the u.s. is sending military intelligence and law enforcement support to nigeria to assist in the hunting down of theç leader of boko haram and to help free the girls. this as we just learned that eight more girls have been kidnapped. last year the state department offered a $7 million reward for the warlords who have plans to sell those girls into slavery. an investigation is underway at this hour to try to figure out who is threatening republican congressman trey gowdy from south carolina.

gowdy got e-mails after being tapped to lead a select committee to investigate an attack on benghazi. the e-mails threatened to hurt him if he goes forwardç with those hearings. those hearings certainly are going forward this morning. fox news just confirming that the 12-member panel will include seven republicans and five democrats. we'll keep watching this story carefully. oklahoma city thunder superstar kevin durant is now the nba's most valuable player. listen to this moving acceptance speech and his real shout out to his mom. >> you made us believe. you kept us off the streets, put clothes on our back, food on the table. when you didn't eat, you made sure we ate. you went to sleep hungry. you sacrificed for us. you're the real mvp.

speech. those are your headlines. a perfect prelude to mother's day this sunday. don't forget. >> that's this sunday? i mean that's this sunday! >> of course you knew that. >> of course i knew it. thank you very much, heather. tomorrow "vanity fair" officially is going to be publishing, after ten years she's broken her silence. monica lewinsky. it will be on "vanity fair's" website tomorrow. "the new york post" has some ofç the excerpts. she writes it is time to burn the beret and burn the blue dress. >> in a preview she talks about being suicidal at times and wanting to reach out to somebody going through something of a similar fashion. she says this about how hillary called her a

narcissistic loony tune. "yes, i get it hillary clinton wanted it on record that she was lashing out at her husband's mistress. she may have blamed her husband for being inappropriate but i find her impulse to lash out at me troubling." >> she thinks it's all about timing. she'sç saying it's a lot about timing, let's clear the decks to get ready for 2016. >> take a listen to this great debate. >> i don't think this is actually relevant as we go forward into 2016 because it has no bearing on the ability of hillary clinton to be a national leader and whether she can lead our nation. >> any time monica lewinsky is in the news, it does not help either of the clintons. it brings back all sorts of bad memories, you know, certainly of the president's bad behavior. >> i really wonder if this

isn't an effort on the clintons' part to get that story out ofç the way. would "vanity fair" publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in"vanity fair"? >> i haven't seen the whole article but from the excerpt i see, i don't think hillary looks great. she might be saying i've got to say something because i think i've turned a corner of my life. >> she is saying get it out now and america will chew on it for two years and by the time the campaign rolls around, yeah, we've already talked about that. what's curious is she's quite adamant, monica lewinsky stresses this was her, having sex with the president, was consensual. not like he forced her on it. she makes it very clear it was consensual. she says the only time sheç was abused was by his

cronies, the people who scapegoated her. >> she does mention she does feel taken advantage of. so if this is indeed on the part of the clintons to get this out of the way, this could be the second time she has been used by the clintons in the white house. let us know what you think about this. who does it help? does it help monica? does it help hillary? does it not help either one? let us know on facebook. >> you should call barbara walters. she got the interview. >> i called her thisç morning. barbara, i know you're up. i spent a lot of time with her, so i'd be curious. >> coming up straight ahead. >> a new rule banning parents from spanking their children in certain areas when they misbehave. we'll tell you where that is. there is a new rule on the books. we're going to explain. >> protesters refuse to let condoleezza rice speak at rutgers university, but something big just came out of that. it's big.

people know we would love to have condoleezza rice. she's welcome at texas tech and the love of texas. this is a great role model for students. she grew up in the segregated south. she overcame a lot of things. she became provost at stanford, became secretary of state. i think she would be an excellent speaker. >> when you're looking at criteria of a speaker, you look for accomplishment. you don't necessarily need to agree with her policies? >> don't have to agree with their policies or their ideas. we want someone that's been highly successful in some area, and we've had all kinds of speakers. president obama's secretary of the navy, governor ray mabus did an outstanding job. we've had former secretary of state james baker. we've had scott pelly, one%of ym angle, one of our distinguished alums. he's with fox news.

and ed whitaker, c.e.o. of at&t. >> does it disturb you when a group of students seemingly led by professors organize a push-back. what does it say about the university system? >> it's not good. here's what's happened. on the left, a lot of people are for free speech as long as they agree with it. they're notd3uju free speech -- they want to stifle it if they don't agree with it. we're in the idea of business. any time you try to stifle free speech, you're going against the liberty and justice and freedom that this kupt was built on -- this country was built on. >> aren't they exercising free speech by speaking out against her experience? >> there are ways they can do that. they can petition the administration and ask someone be allowed to speak at the next commencement that has ideas that are different from condoleezza rice. they could do that. they could show up in front

of the building with placards. there are ways that one can do that. but you shouldn't be in a situation where they try to stifle it to keep them away or they threaten to make so much noise and yell that no one can hear the speaker. >> i want toç you hear condoleezza rice, what she posted on facebook. commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for graduates and their families. rutgers invitation for me to speak has become a distraction for the university at a special time. it is not because of the push back she has decideed to speak. it is because of this. universities have become so liberal they stifle people that don't necessarily agree with them. and a professor is so great,ç kids will start agreeing with that to get

long. >> you've got to look at free speech any time something comes up. the key is there are those on the left that want to stifle free speech and they want to stop free speech for the people they disagree with. we're in the idea business. if there is anyone that should be in the idea business, it's universities. we should be stressing that we want all people of all persuasions to be able to speak out. and i think it's just -- it's bad. it's happened throughout the country. and some places a person would get up to speak and the students would yell them down so they couldn't speak. there's a lack of civility in that and there's also an element in that that's against free speech of thoseç that they disagree with. >> not at texas tech and that's why you're here this morning. chancellor, condoleezza rice's office got your letter. they thank you and they'll consider it. thanks for talking about it today on this very special

principal, talked to the principal, i believe in april, is that right, and got a letter that said he can read it during free time? >> i had spoke to them numerous times. in march they told him to put it away a coupleç of times, and he came home and said dad, they're telling me to put away my bible and i told him they can't do that. >> a couple of days ago, giovani, your teacher says you've got to put that away and you don't. then what did you ask her to do? >> i asked her to call my father. >> and she called your dad and said that you couldn't -- that -- go ahead. why do you think she said you had to put your bible away? >> because she didn't want me reading it. >> paul, why is it that teacher didn't want your son reading his bible during free reading time? >> that, i can't answer. it seemed they were very hostile about the whole

thing. i found that the voice message kind of speaks for itself.j4(p&c@ >> well, it does. i understand none of the other students were queried what they were reading at the time. so let's bring in the attorney right now, jeremy dice. jeremy, what's going on here? why do you think the school's got a problem with the bible? >> it's a hard question to answer. but what we do know is that students across america are permitted to read their bible while they're at school especially during free time in free reading periods like this. the bible is not contra band and shouldn't be treated as such. for a teacher to single out a student during free reading time is an egregious violatiof nf the constitution. >> absolutely. we've got a statement from the school board. they say broward county public schools respects and upholds the rights of students to bring personal religious materials to school, including the bible, and to read these before school, after school or during any free reading time during the school day. giovani, one of the things

is, i read in the local news stories down there in florida that apparently the school said that that was not a free reading time. you were supposed to be reading some other assigned book. is that right? >> no. that's not right at all. >> it was definitely free reading. paul, you had received word that during free reading time it would be okay for your son to read his bible? >> yes, i have received that. >> okay. so what do you want from the school? >> right now all we want is a written apology. if you made a mistake, be diligent enoughç to admit it, and everybody can move on and just allow my son and all the children in the entire school district to have that freedom to read their bible if they choose to do so during free reading time. >> jeremy, that's fair; right? >> i would think so. for the largest school district in the united states to be able to walk across the street and say we're sorry our teacher tried to remove the bible during a free reading period, i don't think that's a tall order to ask.

students in america are permitted to read their bible while they're at school. >> giovani is no longer in that teacher's classroom. he has been moved toç another one as he concludes the year. >> giovani, paul, jeremy, thank you for joining us. what do you think about that? why did that particular teacher crack down on that particular book, the bible? go ahead and send us an e-mail, friends@foxnews.com. you can facebook us or tweet us. next up on the rundown, he oversaw the agency accused of leaving our veterans to die on a secret waiting list. should the head of the v.a. step down? not so fast. the white house has a different idea. they want to keep him. parents, how do you punish your children when they're misbehaving? now there is a school on the books in at least one place that says you don't get to decide. first happy birthday to lone survivor actor alexander. he is 22.

children's mercy hospital.ç a policy that says you cannot use any sort of spanking. if they see it happening, they will bring in a representative from child services to deal with it, giving alternatives such as bubbles and coloring to make the situation simmer. >> it's not even a ban on spanking. it's a ban on any sort of, let's see, hitting of any kind. and the goal of the hospital is if they see something escalating they're going to try to defuse it because they don't want it to lead anything else. if a staff member sees something escalating, get the kid a coloring book or bubbles. if somebody gives their kid a spafrpg or something like -- a spank or something like that, sounds like they're going to call in a social worker. a lot of people say we're not spankers. there are a lot of people in this world who discipline theirç children with a spank. >> they don't define it as hitting. here they blend the two

together. they say no hitting. they're bringing them in together in terms of discipline. on one hand, anybody who has had a kid in the hospital understands it is a stressful time. it is the point where you feel the least amount of control over a situation. for one more access to the ability to control a situation in your family is hard for those parents out there right now and have that taken away. but if things are escalated, it could get tense in a hospital. >> so this kansas city,ç missouri, mercy hospital says we looked at these studies and it said you basically raise bullies if you start spanking kids. are they taking the parent out of parenting? are they going to a place they don't belong? or is this hospital doing something that is necessary on behalf of what they think for the child? >> are they trying to create peace or trying to take your rights away? >> sure. some families do spank. if you've got somebody in the hospital and suddenly you've got to deal with the social worker because you

gave your kid a whack on the butt, that doesn't make it any easier. >> they say if it leaves a mark. they're not going to decide if it's over the line unless it leaves a mark. >> they're going to be looking at this. is it a distraction to the overall health and well-being to kids in the hospital? let us know what you think. facebook or twitter. >> it is 24 minutes before the top of theç hour. heather nauert. >> speaking of spanking, there may be a little bit of a political spanking in washington. the house of representatives now inching closer to charging former i.r.s. official lois lerner with contempt. there is a meeting to be held today to consider that as well as a g.o.p. request for a special prosecutor to investigate the targeting scandal. >> the way this looks, you know, it looks so political, a political process, pure and simple, aimed at trying to appeal toç the political base.

god bless planned parenthood and my wife and i are very involved in the pro-life movement. my kids know that we're involved in the pro-life movement. they know what it means. they know what the president standsç for. so i didn't want to confuse my kids. i wanted to send them the right message. >> a strong message indeed there. talk about the seven choices. that being the first step there. what are some others people can take away from this today in the book? >> i think if a person understands his or her identity, the next question is what is your purpose? this has to do with passion, whether it's at work or your vocation. the next person is what kind of person do you want to be? a person of character establishes depend ability. to become a trustworthy person we need to ask what kind of a person do i want to be? it progress s from there. >> coaches, c.e.o.'s, this is reaching a broad audience. one high school golf coach

the terrorist group behind the kidnapping of more than 270 girls there. the u.s. is sending military intelligence and law enforcement support to nigeria to help with the hunt for the leader in an attempt to free the girls. this as we learn eight more girls have been kidnapped in the last 24 hours. the warlord says he plans to sell those girls into slavery. we'll keep you posted. condoleeza rice getting an offer this morning to speak at texas tech university after she turned down rutgers invitation amid all those protests there. the chancellor of that school joined us earlier on the show. he said it shouldn't be about politics, but about the person's credentials. listen to this. >> we're in the idea business. if there is anyone that should be in the idea business, it's universities. we should be stressing that we want all people of all persuasions to be able to speak out. >> rice is said to be considering that offer. we'll let you know what happens.

listen to this one, every parent needs to hear this. a father shows up at a school board meeting to express his concerns with a risque novel that's required reading for his 14-year-old daughter and here is what happened. >> what are you charging me with? >> disorderly conduct. >> disorderly conduct. >> taken away in handcuffs. here is what happened. he went over the two minutes of that allowed for him to address the school board in new hampshire and so he was arrested and taken away. the center of the controversy is a book called "19 minutes." it's by jody picall. there is a love scene in it that is too graphic for ninth graders. listen. >> it reads like a transcript for a triple x porno movie. we had no notice about it. >> school officials say they are standing by that book. they say it's been part of the curriculum since 2007.

they'll update their policies, but listen to this one, instead of being able to opt out of controversial material, including this one, parents have to be forced to sign off on them. so it's still part of required reading. nothing changed there. >> i got to send something home to the parents. >> you're hearing from people on this, right? >> yeah. a lot of you are weighing in. wayne tweeted us this, he says his fry dom of speech was violated. very sad that parents aren't allowed to voice their concerns about improper books. >> that's right. susan tweeting this: they allotted him two minutes? he could have expressed his outrage in that time. no infringement on free speech. >> sean says, officer, how about arresting the teacher who hands this out and teaches it? check out how helpful to the students. >> yep. keep e-mailing us regarding it. you can fake book us or you could tweet us as well. meanwhile, today you're going to discover that monica lewinsky is back. she's written an article in

vanity fair. the whole thing comes out tomorrow. we do have some excerpts, which it's curious, she makes it very, very clear that the times she had sex with then president of the united states, bill clinton, it was consentual. it was between consenting adults. he didn't force himself on her. didn't abuse her. the only people who abused her were his cronies, it sounds like, when she was made the scapegoat and was all to protect the clintons. >> right. that way she felt taken advantage of and also suicidal. she reveals during the height of the scandal, actually prompting her to write and actually get some word out here in the vanity fair article and help others who may be feeling like a victim going through something like this. >> i really feel bad for her. she points out to what happens at rutgers with the 18-year-old who felt humiliation. she said she felt same to that in the same fashion as she turns 40. shear an excerpts from the article which has not been fully released yet. she said my first thought as i

was getting up to spied, that's the worst thing she said about me, i should be lucky. yes, i get it. hillary clinton wanted it on the record that she was lashing out at her husband's mistress. she may have faulted her husband for being inappropriate, but i find her impulse to blame the woman and herself troubleing. >> and things that we know from her then friend in the 1990s said hillary referred to monica lewinsky as that narcistic looney toon. what's curious is why is vanity fair publishing this right now? we've got one theory from lynn cheney, you're about to hear, and also we've got a republican strategist and a democratic strategist because the timing is curious, don't you think? we haven't heard of monica lewinsky out of the blue 'til now. why? listen to this. >> i don't think this is actually relevant as we go

forward into 2016 because it really has no bearing on the abilities of hillary clinton to be a national leader and whether she can lead our nation. >> any time monica lewinsky is in the news, it does not help either of the clintons. it brings back all sorts of bad memories, certainly of the president's bad behavior. >> i really wonder if this isn't an effort on the clintons' part to get that story out of the way. would vanity fair publish anything about monica lewinsky that hillary clinton didn't want in vanity fair? >> probably not. my question is, is vanity fair going to do something with broderick or gennifer flowers or paula jones? if they're doing, so to speak, monica lewinsky -- if you google mistresses of bill clinton, there is a shocking number of people who come up. >> the timing of this is certainly coming under question. we're going to have the opportunity to talk with lynn cheney in a bit here on the show.

we asked you what you thought in the meantime and barbara is saying this: monica may be the only honest person in a sad situation. we know the clintons aren't truthful. >> theresa posted on facebook, hillary stayed with bill for her own agenda to once again occupy the white house. >> and ralph's up and he says what difference does it make? you're funny. >> mark saying it's all good until a republican does it, then all hell breaks loose. >> yeah, there is a little bit of a double standard. continue to e-mail us, tweet us and facebook us. >> she was over -- wasn't she at oxford? she got a degree at oxford in london. >> she did. but she said she had a difficult time finding jobs after. moments of being stressed. >> she says it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. >> okay. >> none of this would have happened if that blue dress disappeared, or she had gone to the cleaners. >> 7:11. >> you're right.

he is being tapped to lead an investigation into the benghazi attacks. congressman trey gowdy in south carolina getting death threats. that's just the start? joining us is congressman devon nunez and members of the house select committee on intelligence who joins us from d.c good morning to you. >> great to be back on with you. >> it's great to have you. a couple of days ago, democrats were saying, no, no, no. nobody should show up. suddenly yesterday, nancy pelosi said, well, we'll show up if it can be half and half. which is funny because when she was running things, it was nine democrats versus six republicans. what sort of recipe are you guys looking at? >> it's going to be seven republicans and five democrats, steve. the point that you make is right. this congress has a long history of these investigative committees. we attempted to do it through the existing structure with the four committees of jurisdiction, but as you know, we've been stonewalled by the administration, so much so that the legislative branch of our government was unable to get the e-mails that you guys in the

press were able to get. that's totally unacceptable and i think it broke basically john boehner did the right thing by coming out strongly and putting one of our great new members of congress, trey gowdy, who will do a great job as chairman. >> as we look in, you're in the thick of things in washington, d.c., it does look like stonewalling, in addition to the fact they would send you guys documents that were completely blank because they had been completely redacted where you couldn't even tell where it was about, which is kind of nuts. they've also made it impossible for to you talk to the people who were there. it sounds like -- from what we've heard some of you guys talk about -- these guys have been threatened with their jobs. if you say anything, there goes your pension. we might sue you. will witnesses be able to testify in fronts of your committee? >> yeah. i think that's the important point, too, is we're going to have good witnesses like greg hicks, who was the number one man, after ambassador stevens

was murdered in cold blood by al-qaeda terrorists, greg hicks was the man in charge. greg hicks has been put out to pasture by this administration. he's been said that he's not a credible witness. but i think what we're going to find through this investigation is that guys like greg hicks, who were on the ground, the station chief that was there in libya working for the c.i.a., all of those people are going to be extremely credible. if we can ever get the rest of the e-mails out of the administration, we're going to find out -- we're going to get to the bottom of what really happened in benghazi and who made up these most ridiculous stories. >> the white house goes well, we had you, congress, you've had a bunch of investigations, plus there was that arb, accountability review board, they looked at things. but the arb talked to greg hicks, to your point, and he told them that the reason chris stevens was in benghazi was because hillary clinton personally asked him to see whether or not they could establish a permanent post there. that's what he told the arb.

but the arb, when they finally released the report, it said chris stevens wound up in benghazi independently, which is crazy. that's a flat out lie! >> yeah. we haven't gotten to the bottom yet of what was chris stevens actually doing there. he did meet with people that day. i think that's something that the committee should look into, who exactly did he meet with. i think the committee should trio meet with those folks, or at least have investigators meet with those folks. there is still a lot of information out here. i don't blame anyone but the white house. the american people should blame no one but the white house. they had an opportunity and they have a responsibility as leaders in this country to provide the legislative branch of government all of the documentation when the legislative branch asks. they did not do it and they get what they deserve on this. >> well, to a lot of people, it looks like there was a conspiracy and a cover-up and a lot of people would like the answers and it's up to you guys now. all right.

achieved all those goals, my wife, my family, my career was back to where i wanted it to be. it just felt like time to write this book. >> what was the toughest part to write about? >> the toughest part to write about was the accident and my recovery from that accident. i suffered a lot more catastrophic injuries than i had ever really talked about. >> you were in the hospital for three months? >> three months i was in the hospital. i suffered three skull fractures in the accident. skull fractures, 7, 8, 9 in my lifetime and class 3 concussion. i could barely talk when i was in the hospital. my cognitive thought capabilities had been lost completely. i couldn't remember anything. so i had to relearn how to speak and how to think and how to memorize things. they had to take my eyeball out and rebuild part of my skull here. this whole side of my face wouldn't work for a long time.

the calls of the nigerian people to bring back our girls has been heard around the world. now the united states has said it will sean team of u.s. military and law enforcement to the region to assist with negotiations. but who is this terror group? what is it that they believe in exactly? joining us is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> 300 young women held captive by these folks. it's important to understand who this terrorist organization is. in 2013, the united states declared it a terror organization. its leader, they espouse hatred for everything modern, secular and western. they especially oppose education for women. so they've become known for these attacks on schools, including burning schools, holding people hostage, suicide bombs, and attacks. >> this is their leader that is pictured right there. >> yeah. and he suspect out a series of videos saying that allah ordered him to do this.

that's interesting because they do have ties to al-qaeda, the terrorist organization we know so well. they've received training from al-qaeda and shakal declared his allegiance to al-qaeda in the past. there is no firm evidence that they intend to take their efforts beyond the four countries in africa that they've been involved with. >> who are their targets that we know of? >> their targets are schools, government officials, christians, christian churches, nigerian security and police forces. they're known most famously for december 2011 bombing of a cathedral in nigeria. in fact, last year i met a nigerian bishop who told me that priests were so terrified in that country that they needed to change christmas midnight mass to early in the afternoon to 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon because they were afraid that the parishioners would be kidnapped and murdered in the middle of the night on christmas

morning. and it's taken a terrible, terrible toll. 1500 people have died this year alone. thousands have died in the last few years. now america and the world, including great britain, are saying, we need to get involved in this. the hashtag has taken hold and foreign policy is following this saying, what can we do to save these children? it's an absolute heart break. >> the president spoke out as well. he actually called it, quote, heart breaking and outrageous. so what exactly precisely can be done? >> it's interesting. in some ways it's ignored this situation in nigeria for a while. there's a $7 million bounty on the leader's head. now the white house is sending a team of military officials, negotiators, intelligence officials and law enforcement personnel to see what they can do to bring these children back, to return them to their parents. can you imagine at any school in america to have almost 300

children snatched and then parents literally chasing these terrorists with bows and arrows against their ak 47s? they're afraid of reprisals. they don't want their names out there. unfortunately, the nigerian government has been absolutely powerless in reapproximatelying this kind of attack -- repelling this kind of attack. they've been known -- they've not repelled these attacks and they continue. in fact, eight other children abducted yesterday. and bombings continue. >> heart breaking to hear that. glad at least something is being done in this area. peter johnson, jr., we thank you for always keeping us up to date. >> america again the policemen of the world. >> we will follow this story for you. prayers for them. coming up, his career didn't end when he walked away from baseball. nolan ryan now cooking up a storm. his simple recipe for burgs that won't strike out. in 1975, "he don't like you like

states, it was consentual. he didn't force himself on me. the only time i was abused was by his cronies who tried to scapegoat me. >> you know, when i first came to fox, bill o'reilly said that fox audience would never accept me because i was bill clinton's prime defender during my cnbc days. i have a source, the reason i could report with great accuracy about what was happening is that the president's best friend, whom i have sworn never to name, would call me on a nightly basis with the story du jour. >> how many does he have? >> well, if you sort through, you could probably figure it out. there was an amazing shift within the dynamic of the pro-clinton forces during the arc of the story. monica lewinsky is absolutely right, as i recall, as the story was evolving right before my

very eyes there, that there was a lot of she's nut job, she's a loose cannon. she's a crazy -- >> it's her faults. >> basically she came on to him. she pursued him. then if you'll recall, i was the one who broke the story that the stain on the blue dress was indeed president clinton's dna. so i was able to report that. the story changed dramatically as that revelation was reported to me and i passed it on to the american people. then it was much more about all men lie about having affairs, oral sex is not real sex. then the story became not monica. monica was now in every way affirmed. now became the minimummization of what the offense was. >> why do you think she's coming out? >> that's good question. i don't necessarily agree with lynn cheney. great to see her again in the

green room. i don't necessarily agree that hillary clinton is behind the timing of this. put yourself in monica lewinsky's shoes. i don't know where the hell she has been for these many years. >> why bother? why do it now? >> you know, let's take her at her word. the 18-year-old rutgers student who jumped off the bridge in front of my house, that she was motivated because she similarly -- >> felt humiliation he felt. >> and she wants to do self-destroy as he did. >> will it play in 2016 for hillary? will this matter that she's coming out now? >> i think it meters who the republican nominee is. i think a senator rand paul has made very clear, elisabeth, that he considers the president's character and the actions of his spouse during this traumatic period in american history to be relevant to the 2016 election as it refers to the clark of the family -- character of the family. if it's rand paul, that's one

thing. if it's jeb bush or mitt romney again -- >> i actually see a woman that's turning 40 that wants to make sense out of what happened to her. >> i think that's very profound. you just turned 50. i 70. >> can i throw a curve ball in here? could women, could the clintons or hillary clinton maybe assume that there would be a bunch of women who feel like she does and maybe this would relate to them? could this bode well for her if she was on the ticket? >> well, all i know is that she got tremendous support from the women's movement and monica lewinsky points out with great bitterness, if you read even the excerptses, the limited excerpts, how feminists deserted her and blamed it all on her, the intern, after all, and the suffering spouse. >> why were they ever defending her? >> why weren't they? that's an excellent question.

i think the woman's movement really has to assess its own performance during that trauma. >> we're going to listen to you on the radio? >> i'm going to radio right now. i got my radio voice on now. >> we're going to be talking to lynn cheney. her take on it. she's coming up in a couple of minutes. geraldo, thanks very much for dropping by. >> didn't expect so. >> thank you very much. >> 52 minutes now. >> right. >> keep the cameras away from the man. heather, what's in the headlines? >> let's start with political news. while you were sleeping, there have been major political developments that will affect the midterm election. let's start in north carolina. republican tom tillis winning the gop senate nomination. he will now face democratic senator kay hagin in november. also north carolina, the congressional primary race between two democrats, clay aiken and keith chrisco is still considered too close to call. we'll let you know what happens

>> i don't blame anyone but the white house. the american people should blame no one but the white house. they had an opportunity and they have a responsibility as leaders in this country to provide the legislative branch of government all of the documentation when the legislative branch asks. they did not do it and they get what they deserve on this. >> today we expect to learn more about who will be on that committee. a fifth grader in florida says he was simply humiliated by his teacher. he was reading the bible during free time at school, but listen to this voice mail that his teacher left for his parents. >> i noticed that he has books, a religious book in the classroom. he's not permitsed to read those books in my classroom. >> those books. 12-year-old boy says his bible is one of his favorite books. he and his father joined us, along with their attorney, emergency roomier on "fox & friends." listen to what they had to say. >> all we want is a written

apology. if you made a mistake, be diligent enough to admit it and everybody can move on and just allow my son and all the children in the entire school district to have that freedom to read their bible if they choose to do so. >> the broward county public school district says it upholds the right of students to bring religious materials to school. what do you think about that? those are your headlines. back to you. >> thank you very much. i'm looking in the e-mail box. many happy birthdays. >> very nice. i appreciate it. it was great to see geraldo again. >> great, with clothes on. 11 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, rutgers university paid $30,000 to bring in snooki from "jersey shore." but let a speech by condoleeza rice slip away because of a few protesters from faculty and students. now the former secretary of state has a new offer. >> and she refuses to talk. now democrats say enough is enough when it comes to questioning lois lerner. >> maybe we can get ken starr starr to come out of retirement.

to war for the first time under the constitution. so all of that, plus a really interesting life story. there is one story that occurred to me when you asked me about monica lewinsky. dolly madison was the subject of whispering campaigns. she was just a little too attractive. >> really? >> yeah. >> attracted for him? >> no. but too attractive to not attract this kind of notice. and she at one point was said to be having an affair with x. and y, a friend of the madisons, stood up and defended her in an embarrassing way. so madison, went to x's house, the person rumored to be having an affair with dolly. personally invitessed him to dinner. it was a very clever move because what it said to everyone is the secretary of state had gone over there, invited the fellow to dinner. he came to dinner on f street. he wasn't having an affair with dolly madison. i think it's useful and you know this. even when you're looking at past

times, to always be aware that there is another scenario playing out. >> the past is prolog. >> it seems like those -- what would he say today about the president's role? >> well, he'd be appalled by the scope and reach of the federal government. but i think he would also be very troubled that the president seems to decide for himself what the law should be. we won't enforce immigration laws even though they are on the books. they've been passed by the congress. we'll delay mandates and requirements under the affordable care act, even though that's no prerogative of the president. so i think he would be troubled at the constitution having become not the rule of law, but the rule of -- >> it's also important in your book, you chronicle anybody who thinks america is in hard times and never been so bad, how about a president standing, sitting by himself in a horse in the
