an s.u.v. causing front bumper damage. the ugly. justin bieber booed at the los angeles clippers day celebrating mother's day with his mom. >> wow. thanks for joining us. "fox & friends" starts now. bye. >> good morning. it is monday, may 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. democrats continue to play politics with the benghazi investigation claiming republicans are fund-raising on the tragedy. but trey gowdy sees it differently. >> they raise money on iraq and afghanistan. colleagues on the other side of the aisle did not have selective amnesia when it comes to what's appropriate. >> more on the democrats double standard straight ahead. >> they attacked tim tebow for talking about his faith but praised michael sam for being gay. does the media have two different definitions when talking about tolerance? >> together they can take on anything.
3:01 am
these twins born hand in hand. they beat the odds and give their mother a miracle on mother's day. good job, guys. mornings are better with friends. >> i'm bobbyç bowden. you're watching "fox & friends." >> legendary florida state tkoefp. we'll have florida state in the talking points as we start the show. first, happy mother's day to you. how did it go? >> i love mother's day because you just have to hang out. you don't expect presents. you just relax. the kids draw cards and say fun things. >> are you telling me you don't expect pictures, drawings, cards and love? you don't expect that? low expectations? >> yeah. i'm telling you the best.
3:02 am
they say my mommy blank. how did you guysç do? dawn, kathy have a nice day? >> they did. we'll show a photograph of mrs. doocy with two of her three kids yesterday. >> road trip, i hear? >> big road trip. >> talk about another woman who had a great mother's day, heather nauert. >> i had a fantastic mother's day. the boys were the best and so much fun. i'm with you, elisabeth, amazing holiday. >> i love your photos. >> thank you. i hope you all had a wonderful mother's day. let's start out in arizona where the phoenix veterans affairs hospital is getting a new chief. steve young will shift as over for sharon helman put on leave following reports the hospital had hidden treatment delays that may have led to the death of 40 veterans. this as calls grow for the secretary of the v.a., eric

shinseki to step down. the third person who was killed in that hot air balloon tragedy in virginia has now been located. the body of passenger natalie lewis was found north of richmond. she was following with jenny doyle and both worked together at the university of richmond. the pilot on board was identified as daniel kirk. his family says he had more than 20 years experience. that hot air balloon crashed friday night after it hit a power line and caught fire. investigators say they're still working to find most of the wreckage. hundreds of people forced out of their homes this morningç as wildfire puts an entire town in texas at risk. more than 100 homes have been destroyed. 1,200 homes are now in danger of the fire. look at that right there. all those flames. this in the town of frisch, texas. at this hour the fire is 15% contained. nearly 800 people have been evacuated but many more may have to go as this fire
3:04 am
continues to spread. take a look at this, moms out there. this is the perfect mother's day gift. twin newborn girls were born. they have a rare medical condition but they are breathing on their own this morning. congratulations to that. but the interesting part ofç this story is they were both born holding hands. a portion of their body was formed together but they were holding hands and the babies are expected to be just fine. what a miracle. what a mother's day gift. can you imagine? having a baby is wonderful. >> hand in hand. thanks heather. if nostradamus was working at the nfl draft, the most publicized draft pick would have been tom brady. everybody had a shot at him six times and only the patriots picked him up. however there is somebody who tied tom brady in projected publicity. >> we're talking about if
3:05 am
we go to the instant replay drafted by the rams. there was a bunch on social media. a tweet: omg! people said what are you tweeting about? is this in reaction to michael sam kissing his boyfriend on tv? he said horrible. it had everybody asking can you not say these things? the dolphins said no, you can't. they asked for an apology shortly there after sending a strong message across the league. demarcusç walker said y'all praise michael sam for being gay but y'all mocked tim tebow for being christian. hash tag, society. >> marcus walker still a sophomore in college.
3:06 am
>> since we were looking at demarcus walker's comments, kph-ft -- some of the commenters said i don't see why he's praised for being gay while tim tebow was rid called -- ridiculed for his faith. double standards? maybe it's more like, well, religion, that's just not cool. how many times have we talked about how in various venues religion and, in particular christianity,ç mocked? >> i will say this. tim tebow, i think in a way he's become a rock star in life. wherever he goes, he will pack stadiums where he goes. i saw him at the washington correspondents dinner. i argued and tiki barber said i was pwropbg but i
3:07 am
argued -- i was wrong but i argued he did so much in college he would be a backup somewhere. if there wasn't so much publicity surrounding him. i think michaelç sam should focus on being the best football player he can be. >> the coach came out and said that was not going to be tolerated on the league certainly on their team after the year they had. when you look at what the nfl is saying, this is a strong message, they are going on the offense. does it offend those with their free speech and their opinions to voice them? will they go after what is said in the huddle on the bottom of a pile? if you have timed mics you will have a lot of comments which will be deemed offensive? there will be messages heard when it comes to social media. >> we're not talking about anything other than the fact that tim tebow mocked
3:08 am
and michael sam praised. what do you think about thatç standard? e-mail us. you can send it to friends@foxnews.com or you can tweet us or you can facebook us as well. meanwhile on the sunday shows on fox, the topic was benghazi. trey gowdy assured it wouldn't be a show trial. he talked a little bit about the language he's used in the last week, it's interesting, they had a democrat from california, xavier bezaro on and said if it's not a witch hunt we'll take a part of it. but democrats in the past said we cannot believe republicans are trying to raise money off of benghazi to the point, mr. gowdyç said this yesterday to chris wallace. >> they raised money on sandy hook. they raised money on katrina. they raised money on iraq and afghanistan. for me, i will not raise money on benghazi just like i never raised money using crime victims when i was a
3:09 am
prosecutor. and i'll ask my colleagues to follow suit. but it would be helpful, it would be helpful if our colleagues on the other side of the aisle did not have selective amnesia when it comes to what's appropriate to raise money off of and what is not. >> selective amnesia. you're right. >> that was an intelligent conversation. they actually engaged each other instead of yelling. the criteria democrats want is unreasonable for them to participate. i'm sure it is put out there to be -- hopefully they'll back off it. they want to be able to sign off all subpoenas. let's say the republicans want to see hillaryç clinton. i don't think so. there is no way trey gowdy should give them that. sign off on all witnesses, i think that is unreasonable too. to say we should have access to call our own witnesses, that would be reasonable. any democrat should be able to question any witness. and for the g.o.p. to not selectively release testimony, i think that's totally reasonable demand. absolutely you should not say okay, i like what that
3:10 am
person said. let's show that to the press as opposed to the other person. the last two i think they can deal with. >> trey gowdy is a fair-minded individual saying politics should not be involved when it comes to getting to the truth.ç remember the glass house you live in when it comes to raised funds. remember this? democrats posted this on their video showing the coffins of american soldiers coming from the iraq war and then asking for a button to be pressed. you remember this after the sandy hook shooting. david axle rod urging supporters to click on a link and that linked with donate buttons above the video asking for $15 to $1,000. >> after the boston marathon bombings, the d.n.c. put the image of the be strong on its website to asking for political
3:11 am
information they could use politically as well. what's interesting is just this past thursday theç democrats actually posted a statement blasting the republicans fund-raising off of benghazi but on the democrats' website it had a place where you could contribute. while they say we can't believe that the republicans are doing that, the democrats have done it many, many times in the past and trey gowdy has made it very clear he will not do it. >> i thought he put it very well yesterday when he said flatout i never had a chance to question the secretary of state, never had a chance to question susan rice. we never had everybody because everyone has their own fiefdoms that we're all in our own lane. the oversight committee, special investigative. now it's all going to beç one, everybody together, all the paper work in one pile. then he said i wish we did this a year ago. >> god forbid, heaven forbid your family was one of those who lost the four individuals who died at benghazi. who would you want getting
3:12 am
answers? trey gowdy who really just wants information, let's get to the truth? or somebody covering it up. >> one final note. eleanor khreuft -- clift said stevenson died of smoke inhalation. come on. >> a veteran'sç outraged widow wants to know where is the accountability? she will join us next. >> you might make someone laugh, but do they really mean it? >> he's laughing. good for you. laugh it up. enjoy it. >> turns out there's a certain person who knows when you are faking it. >> laughter? >> yeah.

3:17 am
went in, saw somebody at theç v.a., tried to make a follow-up appointment and what happened? >> it never came. he could never get reassigned a new primary care doctor who would refer him to the specialist. he finally, we gave up and had to take him to the mayo clinic. >> that's right. i understand he had to keep his job working for the postal service because you needed the benefits even though he was entitled benefits at the v.a. hospital but because nobody was going to help him, he had to go elsewhere? >> that is correct. >> at the time, sonia, did you feel such frustration that, wait a minute, this man, you know, he put his life on the line for his nation andç all he wants is for a doctor to call him, and the call never came? how frustrating was that? >> it was very frustrating and very sad because he had to keep working even undergoing chemo and radiation treatments at the
3:18 am
mayo. he had to keep working, sick or well, to keep his health care into effect because he couldn't get the treatment he deserved at the v.a. >> sure. in fact, he died on the waiting list for the v.a. he still was waiting for somebody to call him back? >> correct. >> that's heart breaking. mark, what do you want to do to help this family? >> obviously we're very upset about this situation, and what we want to do is obviously get to the bottom of what happened here. but we don't trust the government toç investigate the government. this needs to be a private investigation. what we'd like to do is try to package as many of these cases as we can together and really investigate them to get to the bottom of what happened here. and if it turns out that things were done wrong at the v.a., which is what it looks like right now, we want to take appropriate action and possibly even bring a class action lawsuit here. >> when you say you want to package as many veterans' claims together, hence the
3:19 am
class action, what have you done? put together a website or how would people get in contact with you? >> people can get in touch with me through my website which is attorneyforfreedom. we're just getting started measured response to this. we need to get to the bottom and find out what happened. >> this would be one of the first lawsuits regarding this. are you pretty sure the v.a. was monkeying around with the way they saw people? >> i wouldn't say that we're pretty sure. there were news reports out there. there are allegations. like i said, we want to be very measured. we want to get the facts, get to the bottom of exactly what happened here. if nothing was done wrong, there won't be a lawsuit. if things were done wrong, we'll take appropriate action. >> sonja, you want to go forward with this? >> yes. i want answers, why it happened, how it happened and how is this going to be affecting other vets in the

3:25 am
"the washington post" if you call progress electing a person with the pigmentation he has who votes against the interests andçaspirations against the black people in south carolina, i guess that's progress. republican clyburn in saying this, shouldn't he be more concerned about tim scott representing all people from south carolina? >> i think he is saying that. if you look at his legislation, one measure that pushed forward voter i.d.'s in south carolina, that is what representative clyburn is referringç to.
3:26 am
>> it doesn't seem to be about race if he's calling race into the equation. >> these comments are offensive. they have no place in the political dialogue. i think what you're seeing is he's throwing the race card in the game when tim scott works for all south carolinas. to say he has to represent only one race of people is wrong. even president obama said he's the president for all americans, not just african-americans and tim scott from south carolina for all south carolinaç, not just blacks from south carolina. >> isn't it oppressing the way someone would govern or represent? >> i think it would put people in boxes. i think the best part of
3:27 am
america is we're a mixing bowl and everyone -- that is a problem we're seeing a lot with some groups that think if you're black you have to think a certain way, you can't be free thinking or have a debate about ideas. >> i mean, richard, isn't he entitled to be able to represent, govern, be a senator the way he believes is best for that state? >> i completely agree with you, elisabeth. i think he has the right to think outside the box and has the right toç be different. but i think senator clyburn, being he's been in congress for so long, he knows the people of south carolina, he has the right to call tim scott's voting record into question. i think that is what he's doing here. >> tim scott has been a public servant for south carolina for the past 20 years. >> clyburn has been a servant for longer than that but that goes beyond the point. he's been in the statehouse, now in the congress. >> this became a matter
3:28 am
more -- beyond i will say, voting. this became a matter of race when he said based on his skin color here, he should be voting a different way. i'm paraphrasing there. but when you bring skinç color, and by his philosophy, a white senator should be governing, representing and voting based on what's best for white people? no? >> that's exactly true. i think that's the problem is that he should be focusing on the ideas and debating ideas, not bringing race into it and saying because he's black, he doesn't represent black people. he should say because of x, y, z. make a point. >> the point he made, it doesn't matter if the member is white, black, asian, purple, yellow, green or orange. what you want is a representative that will stand up for the people of south carolina. when 24% of the children in south carolina are in poverty and your voting record is against that, we have a serious problem. that's exactly what congressman clyburn is

world in reducing co2 emissions but not because i have solar panels on my house or because the white house now does. it is because of natural gas. innovation in the natural gas sector has led to an abundance of natural gas production in the u.s. the u.s. is leading the world in reducing co2 emissions because of the natural gas. >> if you believe co2 emissions are causing eraç erattic weather patterns it will effect yesterday. >> in the last ten years sea -- co2 emissions could have gone to zero. if we're serious about climate change, we need to be pursuing end to end, natural gas to nuclear. and the u.s. is doing that and showing the rest of the world how to do it. >> we are going to build a

4:04 am
y'all praise michael sam for being gay, but mocked tim tebow for being a christian. smh, #society. is there a double standard? >> i guess there must be because tim tebow went through hell. they went after him like crazy. i didn't really get to see him much because i was leaving new york, but i was watching as he got -- i think it was great he got chosen and he'll be in the nfl. hopefully he'll make the team and be in the nfl and he'll do well. but i did see his reaction with the birthday cake or the cake. you know. i don't know if everyone thinks that's a wonderful thing. i guess that's fine with me. but it looked pretty out there to me. >> donald trump, let me ask you this. the player that was actually fined from the dolphins for tweeting comments about this, at first it was omg and then quote, horrific on twitter. he was fined and the coach of the dolphins spoke out as well and he's suspended until he goes through some training in regard
4:05 am
to ethical comments on twitter and social media. do you think that's a reasonable reaction to his reaction? >> well, i think it's a pretty tough reaction and frankly, a lot worse things -- we've become so politically correct in this country that the country is going to hell. we can't do anything anymore. people are afraid to talk. they're afraid to express their own thoughts. you know, that's their view. i will tell you, i've heard many people -- i'm not even speak for myself, but i've heard many people that thought the display after he was chosen was inappropriate. and whether or not it was, i don't know. but it was certainly out there a little bit. and i'm very happy that he got chosen. i'm all for it. i think it's great that he got chosen. i hope he does so well. but i thought when he -- when he was really going at it, i mean mean -- i haven't seen anything like that in a while. he was really going at it. yet when tebow did his thing
4:06 am
which people thought was totally fine, he was criticized so badly. i guess you could say there is a double standard. it's sad. >> the president over the weekend -- switching gears -- is in los angeles and giving a speech at an event marking the decades since the holocaust took place, among the celebrities were steven spielberg. he was just talking about how he as president of the united states, he'd like to be able to do something when it comes to the carnage in syria and the kidnapping in nigeria. you think he should do more. why? >> certainly with the kidnappings, it's something you could do and you could do it relatively easily and when you look at what's going on with the girls just snatched up like that, they have no government over there. the country is a total disgrace and sham. certainly it would be great if somebody could go in there, find out where they are and go after them. but that is a terrible thing. syria, he sort of missed his moment. he had a moment where if he wanted to, he could have done that. but he missed his home.
4:07 am
he drew the line in the sand and the line in the sand turned out to be a false line. >> so the hash tag isn't enough for you? >> that was incredible. incredible. we're a different place, we're a different country. we're not respected. i don't want to use the word feared, but we're certainly not feared. we're a much different place than we used to be. but certainly he should be able to go in there easily -- and i'm not a big one for intervention. when i look at what's going on, we should run our own country. but when a thing like that happens, we can do that. we take some of our elites. we can go in there and do that very easily and that's something we should be doing, in my opinion. you have to do something to save those girls. >> let's see what happens. donald trump joining us from ireland where it's seven minutes after noon. is there a pub at the place you bought? >> there is. i'm not a big drinker. a lot of people are drinking now. >> it's ireland! you got to go to the pub! >> i know.

i own it. >> that's better. let them drink and pay you. >> safe travel. >> thank you very much. >> 100% believe this is a moment that you have to have intervention. 276 girls remain in captivity. you've got to go in there. >> the first lady is showing us the hash tag. shouldn't she show her husband? >> these kidnappers don't hang out wondering if they're trending on twitter. >> i don't think they have smart phones. 8 minutes after the top of the hour. we turn now to heather nauert who is joining us with news. but it starts with weather. >> we're talking about weather. it was a crazy weekend of weather this weekend all across the country. spring storms wall lopping the central part of the united states. tornadoes ripping through kansas and nebraska, leaving a trail of torn up buildings and downed trees. then heading to missouri, a small town there slowly picking up the pieces after a powerful ef-2 tornado destroyed nearly everything in its path.
4:09 am
and then colorado and nebraska. i talked to my mom yesterday. she told me about this. plunging temperatures and lots of snow heading that way, causing ice to form and it made for dangerous driving conditions. in other news, today the veterans affairs hospital in phoenix accused of letting veterans die while on a waiting list to get care gets a new leader. steve young, who once headed the salt lake city v.a. will take over after sharon hellman was put on leave. hellman was the one who was in charge at the hospital in phoenix, which has been accused of delaying treatment for up to 40 veterans who later died. veterans groups not happy with that news still. they say that they want the secretary of the v.a., eric shinseki to step down. some are even suggesting a class action lawsuit. that is a really difficultask. the widow of a purple heart recipient who died while waiting for treatment in arizona joined us earlier on "fox & friends." listen to this.
4:10 am
>> yes, i want answers, why it happened, how it happened, and how is this going to affect other vets in the future? it needs to be stopped. our veterans deserve the health care that they fought for this country. they deserve better. >> in the meantime, john boehner is pushing for new legislation to give shinseki more power to fire officials who have been deemed incompetent. we'll keep you posted. the third person killed in the hot air balloon tragedy in virginia has been located. the body of one of the passengers, natalie lewis, was found 25 miles north of richmond, virginia. she was traveling with ginny doyle, both worked together at the university of richmond. the pilot on board has now been identified as daniel kirk, you can see him there. his family says that he had more than 20 years experience ballooning. the hot air balloon crashed on friday night after it hit a power line and caught fire. investigators are still working to find most of that wreckage.

4:12 am
>> i sure did. >> me with my two boys on mother's day. my husband was taking the picture. >> is that a picnic? >> it was a picnic. we went on a beautiful picnic outside. it was gorgeous. 80 degrees in new york. they had their juice and i had my mommy juice. >> mommy, you really like juice. >> that's right. >> wait 'til you kids can drive! >> looking forward to seeing all your pictures, too. >> thank you. dozen minutes after the top of the hour on this monday. did you see this? it took this congressman just two minutes to school democrats on benghazi. tom cotton here next with the tape you have to see. then you've seen him in the shirtless picture riding a horse. now vladimir putin throwing on the pads and hitting the ice. can you guess how many times he scored? here is a clue. no one wanted to stop him.

questions. this is done. we have all these investigations. you still have questions, especially when it comes to saving those in the middle of a fire fight that lasted eight hours. >> great to be on with you. there is still a lot of questions. that's why we need this select committee. we learned two weeks ago that the white house continues to stonewall. they produced new e mails that should have been produced up to 18 months ago. that's why we created this select committee to get to the bottom of this, both what happened before and after the attacks. as a form soldier myself, i particularly want to know what happened during the attacks. why didn't the president send reinforcements from tripoli from our fleet in the mediterranean or even from italy? we know perhaps they might not have reached benghazi in time, but i on several occasions in iraq took my men out as a quick reaction force 'cause you just don't know how long a fire fight is going to last whenever you're sending reinforcements to begin with. >> we have a general said we should have tried. republican mckeon saying yeah, we looked at everything, we
4:18 am
couldn't have done anything. where do you stand? >> well, brian, that's a question in retrospect for where our assets were positioned and whether they should have been positioned in those places. that's why -- one reason we need to have the select committee to ensure our assets are in the right places. the military has been very forth coming over the last 20 months. the military and the pentagon have answered all the questions of congressional committees and produced documents. it's the state department and the white house that have continued to stonewall. that's why the select committee was necessary. >> does it bother you president didn't seemingly did not get to the situation room? >> very troubling, brian. he had a preplanned meeting with the secretary of defense. he had a call that night with prime minister netanyahu of israel about a potential campaign issue. he spoke again with hillary clinton. why was he not in the situation room supervising the execution of his orders? he has stated he ordered this chain of command to provide all necessary resources needed. that's a very vague and general order. he needs to be there asking

one. he called the conversation complicated. we'll keep you posted. the head of the fcc may finally be caving to pressure from critics over u.s. plans to cede control of the internet. we talked about this a whole lot. the chairman tom wheeler will draft up new rules. the original idea would allow broad band providers to strike deals with companies like comcast or at & t and pay them to deliver their content faster. critics say that the plan would have caused u.s. companies to give up control and divide internet into slow and fast lanes. wheeler is going with that idea anyway. but content won't slow down for companies that don't pay. it was a blockbuster film this season, but just how close to reality is the wolf of wall street? >> look what i found in my pocket! look! a year's salary right here! you know what i call them? fun coupons! a fun coupon! >> in an interview with 60 minutes in australia, the real

4:39 am
virtually shot out of a cannon. i guess in a sense it was. and it was so heavy, so big and it had so much momentum behind it, i heard one reporter say that there was a steel, small pipe railing there and that maybe is what stopped it. but that railing was like a tooth pick compared to the size of this boulder. the boulder was as tall, up to to the eave of the roof of the church. i was across the street watching it and i said, well, there goes the church. and the interesting thing is if that boulder had gone just a little bit further and went through the wall of the church, it would have dropped down into our food pantry, which we use to feed thousands of people every month. for me, i mean, the invisible world is a world that exists to me. as a christian, we see the
4:40 am
invisible by faith. to me, it was an angel, if you would, just kind of put his hand on that stone and said, that's far enough. >> divine intervention. i understand you said it was like a catcher catching a baseball. >> yeah. it was. the rock is so big, i had 100,000-pound excavator on site and it could barely roll the rock away from the building. i've got a hydraulic hammer and an excavator now and we're just working on chipping it down to size so we can move it around the site. >> what were they doing? >> blasting company is widening the driveway for some additional parking. >> you didn't know that great big boulder was there, did you? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. it was a surprise to everybody. sometimes we ask for miracles and then sometimes we don't, but

let me tell you what's happening in the world. the mayor of carterette, new jersey says officials stopped their citizenship when they try to start with prayer. this came days after the u.s. supreme court ruled local government meetings can include prayers. town officials ended up moving to the nearby town of newark. and harvard wants to invite you to spend a night with satan. he's with me every day. by holding a black mass. tonight the catholic church is protesting by holding a positive worship service to counter the event. take that, satan. >> amen. governor rick perry convinced toyota to shift thousands of jobs from california to texas with a promise of fewer taxes and regulations. >> now in a new op ed in the "new york times," they're slamming the strategy, saying, quote, each year, state and local governments in the united states spend more than $80 billion on tax breaks and
4:46 am
subsidies to attract investment. from a national perspective, this is as dumb as it gets. >> is it a dumb move? stuart varney? >> no. it's a very smart move. it exposes the high tax, oppressive regulation of some states like california. it exposes that and says come on over here. we can do better. we'll spend a little money to get you here, but it's money well spent. it's a smart investment. >> i think he's ironic that the "new york times" is lambasting texas about it because if you live here no income city, you see all these commercials on television about talking to big businesses. hey, wherever you are, come to new york state. we got a whole bunch of breaks for you. >> they don't look at the other side of the coin, which is how some of these high tax, big regulation states are forcing businesses out of the state. case in point is california. they offered $2 million in subsidies to get a chinese electric car company to locate in los angeles. then turn around and slap them with all kinds of regulation,
4:47 am
including $100,000 fine because this chinese electric car company offered their workers one, 20-minute work break instead of two ten-minute work breaks. that's the kind of regulation that tick -- kicks people out of the state. a fine for that? >> why the fear or sort of why make the enemy out of competition when the beneficiary of great competition in business often times is the consumer and those looking for jobs. >> precisely. texas got by investing $40 million in toyota. they got 4,000 jobs, a whopping great big new headquarters building for toyota in the state of texas. that's with they got for their $40 million. i'd call that a smart investment. essentially the left wants you to stay put, stay where you are. hey, you business, you're bad. you stay put. you face that regulation. you pay those taxes and don't you dare move. >> a study was done that says our economy is less entrepreneurial than any point in the last 30 years.

>> heaven forbid you get out there and compete and go to a low tax, low regulation state. which states are doing best? low tax, low regulation. more jobs, more economy. more expansion. >> florida and texas. >> yep. >> ultimately if you're in business, the idea is to make money for your company or your shareholders and that's all they're trying to do. >> radical thing for you to say. >> i'm a capitalist! >> and a lot of companies choose to go move out of the country because our tax overall is too high. >> witness pfizer going to britain. case closed. >> would you ever move back over there? >> it's all my fault. >> we'll be watching stuart varney between 11 and 1:00 o'clock over on fox business. >> thank you very much. >> thanks. coming up, if you don't like common core, you're a right wing extremist. why does caring about your child's education make awe bigot? a parent and former school board member weighs in. >> first on this date in history in 1989, "i'll be there for you"

4:53 am
opposing common core standards as far right extremists. stating, quote, the disininformation campaign is being driven by the likes of fox news, john birch society, tea party factions and the christian right. they're wrong about that. cynthia, a parent and former texas school board member of education says the report is a desperate attempt to marginalize common core critics. she joins us from lynchburg, virginia. they say that those are the ohm critics, when, in fact, it's bipartisan. there are teachers unions in chicago and here in new york state and they hate it, too. >> absolutely. this is a bipartisan outcry of concern, legitimate concerns that are being expressed. when you look at the facts, 35 states in the last legislative session that were promoting some type of legislative effort to
4:54 am
either delay implementation or prevent implementation of common core and the mandatory park assessments. this is not just a fringe little group that is expressing concern. this is a national voice that is being expressed and it's definitely bipartisan. >> sure. it sounds like some of the political talking points that have been circulated on the left where whoever criticizes you, they're an extremist. you're going to hear extremist, koch brothers regarding politics, not common core. what is it in particular you don't like about common core? >> well, the thing about common core is one, it makes me nervous whenever anything is being pushed quickly, just kind of like the statement of we have to pass it before we know what's in it. when you don't know what's in it, when there is a statement that it's being brought up through grassroots and through the association of governors and now in the back end we're finding that most comfortable with it, then when you have 35 states doing
4:55 am
legislation and you add in with those that never wanted to implement it, that leaves only ten states that are not having some kind of pushback from saying, we don't like common core. it's a federal power grab. it's an unconstitutional mandate from the federal government. it invades the privacy of the parents and the teachers and the individual students in it. takes away the states' autonomy over education. and not only that, it's being done in such a way where they're pushing it forward quickly to where it's making it really difficult on the educatorrors. they have excessive assessments being done and it really is a vehicle for viewpoint discrimination when you have viewpoint belief being pushed through the federal government. >> you know what this southern poverty law center is trying to do. they're trying -- they realize there are critics out there, so they're trying to make people, oh, if you're against it, you're a radical, you're an extremist. you're as bad as fox news!
4:56 am
>> then i would claim that title. i just think that what they're doing is very, very helpful to the cause of those dissenters to common core. what i like to call observe observe core because it ex -- obama core because it exposes the desperation taking place. now they're resorting to, instead of any kind of substantive basis to support obama core, they're basically resorting to name calling, marginalization, trying to say that there is not a legitimate concern when there clearly is. i think karen lewis, the president of the chicago teachers union, said it very well as far as agreeing with the parents and educators that this is a federal power grab. >> first time i heard it called obama core. i think that will stick. cynthia, a parent and a former member of the texas school board, thank you very much for joining us live. >> my pleasure. what do you think about that? e-mail us regarding obama core. straight ahead, new developments

5:04 am
washington. in a couple of interviews he did last week. but you're right, this testimony could be interesting because it's not just phoenix. there are other places around the country now that are reporting similar things. it's something that obviously every state is looking into. >> one of the bad things is it sounds like the secretary, general shinseki, knew about it in december, never did anything 'til it hit the fan. suddenly we've got these stories coming out. earlier in the 6:00 o'clock hour, bret, we had sonia nicastro. her husband, ralph, in 2011, went into the v.a. hospital in phoenix. he had a lump on his neck. and they said yep. you got a lump on your neck, you need to see another doctor. he waited for years until he died. he never was seen there. he wound up using benefits from his job at the postal service to go to the mayo clinic because it had gotten so out of happened, they couldn't fix it. she was on with her attorney
5:05 am
earlier today and she just wants to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else. listen. >> he had to keep work, sick or well, to keep his health care in effect because he cooperate get the treatment he deserved at the v.a. i want answers why it happened, how it happened, and how is this going to be affecting other vets in the future? it needs to be stopped. our veterans deserve the health care that they fought for this country. they deserve better. >> you just wonder what's happening with the first lady and the president on this. >> well, this is just amazingly emotional issue and obviously people across both sides of the aisle believe veterans should get the health care they need and it is explosive issue up on capitol hill. so you will see a hearing when this all comes to head where politicians will really be searching for answers. the president has come out and said he is launching a full investigation and wants to get to the bottom of it as well.
5:06 am
but it is such an emotionally charged issue when you have veterans who are not getting what they need and possibly the allegations here, that they are dying in line. >> bret, do we have any idea how many years this goes back? >> we don't. and we don't know how extensive it is. it may be that this investigation unearths a whole bunch of new info. >> big story over the weekend was about the ukraine and the referendum that vladimir putin may be with a wink and a nod says, i don't think should take place. in another portion of eastern ukraine, they vote. the turn out, according to reports, was large. and was overwhelmingly, two other sections of ukraine want autonomy. where do we stand right now? >> this is not getting recognized by anyone outside of these two regions and this is in eastern ukraine. but the people there on the ground are saying that the turnout was some 89% voting in favor of this referendum to pull
5:07 am
out and have autonomy from the ukrainian government. you're right, vladimir putin said don't go ahead with this referendum. but you wonder, these pro-russian separatist groups are essentially answering to russia and this sends another signal that there is this breakup in ukraine. violence is continuing. this is not a good sign for the may 25 election in ukraine which the u.s. and international allies -- the u.s. allies want to see go forward. if that does not go forward, this is going to get even messier. >> surely. >> you look at it, how do you come down with further sanctions on russia when vladimir putin said, i told them not to do it. so now he's got denyability. he's playing it very coyly. >> yeah. and also he said he was pulling troops back from the border and there is no indication from nato or the u.s. that that happened. >> he was playing hockey yesterday. he scored six goals. what a performance. even gretzky is in awe. get ready for your show coming up soon.

was that the impetus for finally getting select committee? >> steve, it's the case for a long time. a lot of folks have been calling for a special committee and the speaker was reluctant. we had four committees looking at this, trying to figure out precisely what happened on september 11, 2012. then a series of things culminating in the fact that we now know the president didn't turn over all the documents in response to a congressional subpoena. and that's unacceptable. so we're going to go get all the documents. we're going to get all the witnesses. we're going to find out precisely what happened and share just as much of it as we can with the american people just as quickly as we can. >> it would be great to hear from some of the people because some of the people who we've wanted to hear from for the last 20 months have been -- the stories are that they were told by their bosses whether it's the c.i.a. or state department, if you want to keep your pension, if you want to get paid, if you don't want to get sued, you got to clam up. >> we've got to get to the bottom of those stories as well. we need to make sure that everyone who was involved in
5:17 am
this has the opportunity to speak with us, to share their testimony, their ideas, their thoughts about what really happened that night so we can get that. we need to make sure that this administration doesn't cover up, doesn't deny and doesn't withhold. if we can do those things, we'll get the answers for the american people and then this committee will have done its job. >> you just mentioned cover-up. we did a fox news poll and we asked, is the administration covering up or being open and honest about benghazi? 61% said it's a cover-up. they're trying to cover-up. only a quarter of americans said they're open and transparent. so the people of the united states would like to know whether or not it is a cover-up. >> that's part of our task as well. look, i'm going to keep an open mind. but we know that there were political actors participating in the announcements post event that if they were trying to figure out precisely how to describe it, we know what the intelligence community said. we know they knew almost instantly this was an al-qaeda
5:18 am
attack, with al-shariah being part of it. the evidence is already there and we have to figure out why it is the case that this administration for so long didn't disclose that to the american people and share what was going on there, that this was an al-qaeda attack that killed four americans. >> we don't like the answers. good luck on your journey to try to figure it out. >> thank you. >> thank you. all right. it's now 18 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, you're invited to the dark side. a satanic mass planned at harvard tonight, of course. but wait until you hear how one student is fighting back. he joins us live next. and it doesn't get any closer than this. a church just inches away from destruction -- look at this great big boulder rolling up toward the back, stopped by divine intervention? that's what the pastor says. you'll hear him coming up. ♪ ♪ [ female announcer ] it's simple physics...

>> we're glad you did. what a blessing on mother's day. here we are, harvard university's cultural studies club wants to invite you to spend a night with satan. tonight they're hole ago black mass reenactment. the mass set to be an inversion of the traditional catholic mass that use has stolen consecrated piece of communion. this has the catholic community in boston very upset. so why would the university be okay with this happening right on their campus? joining me now is the junior at harvard university and began a petition to oppose the satanic mass that is set to be starting this evening. thanks for being with "fox & friends." this upset you enough to start a petition. why? >> well, i first heard about this mass that was going on earlier this week, saw a flyer on campus. the more we learned about t the more a group of students, myself, a couple other catholics, christians, nonchristians, thought it was something people needed to know about and we want to do try to rally opposition to it because it's really offensive and a
5:24 am
mockery of the christian faith and all people of faith. >> how many signatures do you have on the petition to date? >> a couple are flows around, total is around 50,000. >> wow. and then the school said they're not happy with it. they find this disturbing and offensive to those who live at the harvard community. but they really paraphrasing here, they want you guys to be able to do this in a sensitive way. they want people to be sensitive to one another, but they haven't been outright in terms of saying they don't want this taking place. and then the harvard extension culture studies club says this is just about history. it's not about religion. you say? >> i say freedom of speech is what it is. i think this has nothing to do with it in this case. in the university community, freedom of speech has a purpose and that purpose is to get after the truth, to build a civil community, to build friendships across disagreements. this is more obscenity than speech, if anything.
5:25 am
and if this were a reenactment of a kkk rally or some sort of desecration of the koran, i think no one would have trouble seeing that. >> so you believe this is an attack then on catholics or christians there. do you want the school to step up and cancel it before it starts tonight ideally? >> ideally the club that's hosting it would see sense and cancel it. but i would definitely support the university stepping in. again, i don't think it's a question of freedom of expression. i think this is basically an obscenity that offends a huge segment of the community. >> do you think there will be some sort of protest outside of where this is happening in the basement of the building? >> i don't know. on a i'll be -- i'll be in prayer with the catholic community at the local catholic church a few blocks away. that's where there is going to be a big gathering and other parishes and churches all across boston, greater boston area, and even further away will joining together in solidarity.

5:32 am
for the better part of three years, this is about as close as you could get to the washington monument. a lengthy fence encircled one of the nation's real treasures, keeping everyone at arm's length and then some. >> this is pretty close. >> reporter: a 555 feet high, thank you very much. it's those last few feet that at least initially caused all of the concern back in august of 2011. >> this is a fox news alert. we are just getting reports from our dc bureau that an earthquake was felt in washington, d.c. >> reporter: that earthquake would rattle a part of the country that rarely experiences them. the monument it turns out didn't make it through unscathed. a climbing crew would eventually scale the heights and survey the damage. >> directly above me, this is the large crack op the west elevation. >> the greatest damage was in what we call the point from 500 feet to the top where the sides angle in. >> reporter: the crack was just

5:48 am
american left says nothing about it and let me give you a classic example. yesterday in the "new york times" nicholas christof, he wrote a column about the importance of education for women and every example he cited of deprivation was an islamic country. and yet never in that column does he use the word islam or the word muslim. he seemed to have left contorting itself, not to say boko haram is an islamist organization. that doesn't mean all muslims are bad. but it does mean that if you look honestly at the world, only in the islamic world, ohm in the islamic world are women brutally oppressed and do they suffer the deprivation of rights and the american left says nothing. >> and one exception i know is mavis leno. everybody wants us to pull out
