hey, everybody. good morning, it is sunday, may 25th, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. it's the work of a madman. chilling surveillance video as people run and duck for cover from a revenge-driven shooter. and this morning we are learning more about what led up to the rampage and how it could have been prevented. then moving to take the v.a. out of the government's hands, veterans health care just expanded to private hospitals. and as our nation's heroes wait, there are 14 bills to clean up the system collecting dust on harry reid's desk. so what's the hold up?

and sorry kids, no playing outside. that's the order from one apartment complex. it's all for safety, but shouldn't we let kids be kids and not have to play inside? "fox and friends" begins right now. and let's get right to that fox news alert. we are learning more today about the deadly shooting rampage near the university of california santa barbara. the gunman identified as 22-year-old elliot rodger laying out his disturbing plans talking about slaughtering sorority girls that have denied him in the past. that video has since been taken down. and he wrote a 144-page manifesto detailing his world. in it he writes my ork trags of the day of retribution is my

attempt to do everything, in my power, to destroy everything i cannot have. the friday night violence started at his apartment where he stabbed and kill lead to men. then he got in his bmw and drove to a sorority house. when they wouldn't let him in, he turned his gun on two women outside. from there, he drove to a deli, the terrifying moments caught on camera as he fired off shots. the people inside ducking for cover. this is where the sixth person was killed. after several shoot-outs with officers, rodgers was found dead in his car along with 400 extra rounds of ammunition. he killed himself. the sheriff recalled three run-ins with the teenager, the latest just a few weeks ago when the family was concerned about the youtube videos he had posted. >> he expressed to the deputies he was having difficulties with his social life and probably wouldn't be returning to school in the next year. the deputies discussed options with him in terms of support,

offered resources to him and ultimately cleared that call without further action. >> out of the six people killed, three have been identified. 20-year-old christopher michael martinez, 22-year-old katherine cooper and 19-year-old veranice white. 13 others also hurt. >> so many questions in this issue. what can we learn from the gunman's writings and videos he posted online? >> and how did the doctors and police miss the signs? we'll ask psychiatrist dr. keith ablow. thank you for getting up with us this morning. >> not a problem. >> when you think that the cops have visited him three times and found him to be a perfectly kind and good guy, what kind of signs or what does that say to you? how did they miss this? >> well, listen, if you listen to the press conference that sheriff brown made yesterday, there seems to be a big disconnect. the family issued a statement saying they informed police

there were videos of their son in which he talked about suicide and killing other people. the sheriff describes it as having conducted a wellness check. well, look, whatever they title it, they title it, but the bottom line is if you know that there were videos posted and you allow someone to explain that away without bringing the person to a psychiatrist, which you're empowered to do by law, that seems like it needs much more examination. that could be a fatal, terrible flaw in this case. >> some of the reports have talked about multiple personalities and that would be an easy way for him to just dispel these people coming to his house for a wellness check. they come to your house, we have all seen movies, where you put on the happy face when the police and others are there but then when they leave you go back to the dark world. >> people might wonder if he

shows a severe personality disorder. and some people with horrible personality disorders which can have features of extreme narcissism, self-love and paranoia are incredibly manipulative. here's the thing, if he had posted videos that promised violence being visited, murderous violence on other people and his parents are decent enough to call the cops and say, look, you've got to check in on my son. they don't mean check if he's okay, like did he eat enough, they mean get him to a hospital. >> right. we want to show you another piece of elliott rodgers' man f fess /* manifesto. he said, i will punish everyone and it will be beautiful,

finally, at long last i can show the world my true words. and dr. ablow, he talks about wanting to show everyone he was the alpha male after lamenting he was a 22-year-old virgin. what do you take away from this? >> he believes somehow he's destined to right all the wrongs of humanity. this is incredible grandiosity. he's the chief warrior, that he's irresistible. this is where grandiosity of malignant narcissism will only medicine and psychotherapy will refine where someone inside feels minuscule but expressing

unbelievable grandiosity that he's going to change the whole world. >> and he's in a good area, too, santa barbara, driving a bmw. yet he writes this in his manifesto saying he was cast out because the females of the species were incapable of seeing the value in me. >> right. well, unfortunately or fortunately, however you see it, when someone is this disordered, people can often sense it. and it wouldn't be surprising, would it, if someone like this as obviously disordered as he was, wasn't able to coerce someone into a relationship because they probably resonate with the fact that, boy, this is somebody who is only interested in himself, who has thoughts that are outside beyond anything they have experienced. and it doesn't very much lend itself to getting a date. also, i would say this, his manifesto, not just what he says but the way he says it,

indicates how interested in fame he is and how capable he is with a camera. his address to the camera is something that most people can't do without years of training. he's looking away, he's laughing at times, for drama, and i think that's another thing, he's looking for his legacy. >> dr. ablow, there's no doubt that he was a sick individual reading this 144-page manifesto, but how does somebody get that way? is it completely chemical or does this come from a terrible experience he had when he was younger? >> no doubt in that manifesto there are clues to very painful life experiences. it doesn't have to be that he saw somebody die or that he was abused horribly, it can be a mountain of slights or perceived slights. so, yes, you can be born with vulnerabilities to these kinds of disorders, but i believe there will be events that perhaps his family shares with us, perhaps in the manifesto

they are revealed, it made hem feel vanishly small, insignificant, as if he had no worth and he built up this incredible shell of grandiosity to expend against that. >> dr. keith ablow, appreciate you getting up early with us and your expert analysis. thank you. >> pleasure. we have other news around the world, pope francis is continuing his tour of the middle east. the pontiff touched down in the western city of bethlehem by helicopter a few hours ago. joining us is collin powell in bethlehem, what's the reception been like this morning? >> reporter: well, good morning and hello from bethlehem. pope francis wrapping up mass a few minutes ago and now is in the church of the nativity, the historical site where jesus of nazareth was born 2,000 years ago. a huge crowd hire, some 10,000 or so here to welcome the pontiff. religious insiders describe this trip to jerusalem, bethlehem and jordan as a religious

pilgrimage, but it didn't take long for pope francis to dive into middle east politics today meeting with mahmoud abbas and the head of the palestinian authority. the situation here in palestine is unacceptable he said. and he stopped at the israeli barrier and stop there had to pray. he said it was deeply moving. later today he moves to jerusalem to meet with bartholamew i where he believes jesus was crucified and a very historic meeting of the two religious leaders. back to you. >> conner, thank you so much. happening right now, ukrainians are going to the polls to vote for a new president following months after ousting president yanukovych.

in eastern ukraine, half of the 34 polling stations have already been shut down by armed men. and finally, a little bit of good news for you for our heroes. the white house announcing it will allow more veterans to get health care outside veterans affairs facilities despite recent revelations that there are secret lists and backlogs. the new plan will be released later this week. and kurt busch is pulling double duty today. the nascar driver is attempting to become the second person to complete the indy 500 in coca-cola's 600 in a single day. that includes an airplane ride from indiana to north carolina. busch says he'll be loading up on carbs for his combined 1100 miles of racing today. >> i love that story. >> how will the weather be down there, first of all, in indianapolis? >> wow, indianapolis, there will be a chance of a shower there.

and the same with north carolina. spotty showers. it's that time of year with spotty showers. we'll look at the weather maps, here's what's going on. here's your temps waking up this morning. warming up for everyone. all across the eastern part of the country we'll warm up, but there's kind of a stationary front to cut right across parts of the carolinas and up to the ohio valley, parts of indiana where we'll see spotty thunderstorms in the afternoon. same thing happens across the northeast, but better than the last two days. and this area across the southern plains, a big rain. i tell you what, such beneficial rain across texas and oklahoma. but it's a slow-moving system. look over the next couple of days how slowly the system moves with the threat for severe weather, but the best part is some really kind of big downpowers over the next few days with four to five more inches of rain. that's going to help with the drought right there. >> we had a flash flood warning in our area last night. it was raining like crazy. flash flood, flash flood. thank you. coming up on the show, the v.a. hospital scandal continues to explode, so why are house

v.a. reform bills just collecting dust on harry reid's desk right now over in the senate? congressman john culverson sponsored some of the bills and he's joining us right. harry reid is on vacation right now. and an emergency landing with a twist. what sent this plane topsy-turvy and how the pilot escaped. ♪ if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation

hey, everybody. new this morning, the obama administration will allow more veterans to get health care outside of veterans health care facilities after long revelations of long lines and secret lists and hidden backlogs. >> shouldn't this have happened from the beginning? meantime, as they wait for care, they are waiting on congress. 14 bills passed meant to reform

the v.a. have been passed through the house right now, but they are sitting on harry reid's desk collecting dust right now. >> that includes this one right here, it is just three pages long. one, two, three. and democrats say they need more time to review this one. really? >> joining us is the congressman who sponsored several of the bills collecting dust on harry reid's desk. texas congressman john culverson. nice to see you, congressman, welcome back to the show. >> good morning, good to be with you. >> how many bills are out there right now, 14 that you passed that are just sitting through? what is your response from the senate in we want to make sure we do our due diligence in reading the three-page bills sitting here. >> very disappointing. bernie sanders stands up and blocks on behalf of harry reid a piece of legislation that makes it easier to fire employees at the v.a. hospital. simple, common sense reforms based on our core principles as

spring market conservatives in the house and every single one of them is dieing in the senate. it's unacceptable and i'm glad you're bringing attention to it this morning. >> there's a new piece to this this morning that you say is long overdue? >> absolutely. as a fiscal conservative and my colleagues are in the house, it's common sense. if a service can be found in the yellow pages, we believe it aught to be much as possible. certainly when it comes to our veterans. remember approaching memorial day, our men and women in the uniform fighting the war on terror are all volunteers and are less than one half of 1% of the nation that step forward in service to protect us. they deserve our very best and need immediate access to medical care. and we need to do everything in our power to clear the logjams to get them to the v.a. hospitals as soon as they need it. >> we have colonel ralph peters that was on the show yesterday.

he said eric shinseki should stay because it's not his fault. it's congress's fault to get answers, the oversight. they have received $150 billion at the v.a. why does congress and the oversight capacity push the v.a. to do more? >> we have done that in the house. i'm chairman of the v.a. military construction appropriations committee and i found the fastest way to get the bureaucracy to move is to restrict their access to money until they get the job done. so when it comes to, for example, electronic medical record to be read by the v.a. when someone leaves the services, we fence off their money and say you don't get access to the rest of the mown until you get a electronic seamless medical record that can be read by the v.a. immediately. and we are approaching that in the house in the same way on all these issues doing everything we can through the appropriations process and the bills you mentioned, the dozens pieces of

common sense legislation to make the v.a. responsible and move rapidly. these have all passed the house but we are waiting on harry reid to focus on protecting the veterans. >> congressman, how do you make the decisions when the decisions you are going to be making are based on false information? >> we are, in fact, in the house -- for myself, i've already been out to v.a. facilities in the houston area. we're investigating this on our own behalf. we've got staff helping us, but we have also added money to the inspector general's office. over $2 million to hire additional investigators to get to the bottom of it. we need to make sure the v.a. secretary has the authority to hire and fire people in the same way the general shinseki did in the army. >> congressman john culverson, thank you for joining us. have a good memorial day weekend. coming up on the show, sorry kids, no playing outside anymore. that's the order from one apartment complex they say is for safety, but shouldn't we let

kids be kids? and it's official, kim and kanye are married. but one member of the family was not there. it's a family feud. which one was it? ♪ cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

out and the county representative who spoke about the a.r. reading program, there's no miscommunication there. but it is sad they won't accept responsibility for doing something wrong. >> what do you want to see happen to the teach her? >> well, that would be between her and her employer. we don't want to get involved in that, but we certainly don't want that to happen in the future. >> jeremy, has anything happened to this teacher. is she going to be fired? >> as far as we know, students are allowed to read bibles in their classroom. and for teachers and others across the country, this is not the first time this has happened. we are seeing more and more of this happening. students need to know their rights at school, and so do parents. we have good parents like paul and giovanni here welcome to

stand up for their constitutional rights. understand what your rights are and assert them even if there's whole food. and being willing to assert the first member of freedom to guarantee them. >> giovanni what do your friends they. >> most of my friends were behind me saying, gio, you are flat out right. you are doing a good job. they are supporting me. >> thank you for standing up for your constitutional right to sit in class and read a bible if you want to. jeremy, keep us up-to-date on this case and more across the country. this is a continuing problem. have a great memorial day weekend to all of you. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. you guys, too. >> thank you. coming up here on the show, a community rallying around a marine locked up in mexico after a simple mistake. now we are hearing from andrew's

we begin a fox news alert. it is being called the work of a madman. chilling surveillance video as people duck and run for cover from a revenge-driven shooter. this morning we are learning more about what led up to the rampage and how it could have been prevented. and one of america's heroes has been locked up for two months now, but is the obama administration any closer to setting him free? we'll hear from his dad for the first time with the entire family joining us live. and how can terminal cancer vanish without any medical explanation at all? it did for her and a thousand cancer patients. that patient and doctor are here to explain their story. "fox and friends" hour two starts right now. we want to get right to the fox news alert. it was the work of a mad man is what investigators are saying

about the deadly revenge-fueled shooting that took place by the gunman. >> the gunman is identified as 22-year-old elliott rodger. we are learning more about this disturbed man this morning. >> we are joined now with the latest from domenick. what have you learned about these victims? >> well, they are continuing to learn more about the investigation in terms of following up on the originen of the guns. they were all legally registered because he was under therapy and looking to over pass this, but it is 4:00 a.m. in the community here, but saturday night was not the wild night that we see anymore. there was a vigil with at least a thousand people parading

through the student enclave here. quite an incredible scene. slightly more somber than you would expect. people are absorbing the information from the sheriff's briefing. one of the things that was one of the three run-ins with police including one from four weeks ago. of course, they are also talking about the moments during the attack including how the rampage came to a dramatic end when rodger's vehicle crashed into another. and the police actually pulled him out of his vehicle after that gun battle. >> the suspect's vehicle then collided with several parked cars and came to a stop. responding deputies immediately removed the suspect from the car and he was obviously dead.

>> it is not clear whether that gunshot was self-inflicted or not. surveillance here from the deli. to the left of the spree, you can see the glass shatter there as shocks are fired in the direction of people. that's making an expense to say that it will be quite a few days to determine what's happening here. >> great job reporting on this. we were watch iing fox news ales

here. it turns out he was outside of the convenient store firing shots as people were paying for their items. >> one of his biggest hang ups is that people weren't paying attention to him. when all this began happening, students were out there celebrating the holiday weekend, the long weekend. and there were bullets spraying everywhere. they thought they were fireworks going on and people picking up shell casings. much more on this story as we continue here's on fox news. >> and other headlines to tell you about. pope francis continues his tour of the middle east today. in jordan, he expressed the need for syrian conflict and met with the company's refugees. pal still ans hopes this give the boost of support following the breakdown of peace talks. and ukrainians are going to the polls to vote in a new

president after months of unrest following the ousting of viktor yanukovych. they look to disrupt the vote in eastern ukraine where half of the polling stations have been shut down by armed men. this new overnight, two vanish men are returning. three people were also shot dead at a you dish museum in russells, brelgium. an israeli couple was among the three dead there. and remember that lucky pizza delivery guy who helped ellen hand out slices at the oscars? he's turning his moment in the spotlight into a full-fledged

pizza restaurant in los angeles. the ingredients are straight from italy. who knows, maybe one of his a-list friends will stop by. >> our south carolina girl, sorry, north carolina pizza? >> what does that mean? the kind of fancy with the oregano. >> it is not just mushroom and pepperoni. >> it is big like bruschetta. we'll take a look at the weather maps and here's tomorrow's forecast. look at the temperatures, 86 in minneapolis. 86 in chicago. you'll see spotty thunderstorms, but it won't be an all-day rainout. rain across the eastern seaboard and very cool. today we are starting off clear across the eastern seaboard with showers popping up into parts of

the northeast. the same someone we have had spotty thunderstorms, but the bigge biggest, most incredible drought will continue the next few days. on tuesday the system begins to move off. take a look at the temperatures, really warming up across the mississippi valley monday into tuesday. and by wednesday we'll see this pull down across parts of the great lakes. we'll turn our attention back to the v.a. this morning because it looks like the administration and eric shinseki are making moves to help get out of the backlog that our veterans are facing right now. and push some of these veterans into private hospital situations. look, we can't handle it right now, but we will turn over our backlog of masht papers.

the democrats are saying the wait is too long and you have to do something. yesterday they released a statement from the veterans affairs committee saying vha developed a coordinated system-wide initiative to accelerate care to veterans. each of our facilities is either enhancing their clinic capacity to help veterans get care sooner or where we cannot increase capacity, increasing the care to we acquire in the community through non-v.a. care. >> and these bills have been collecting dust on senator harry reid's desk. they are waiting until after recess to take this up for a vote. >> that bill would allow them to fire employees who are doing a poor job. that bill had the resolution in

ortder to fire people that aren't doing their job. what is wrong that? >> reporter: some independents don't believe we need standards. the reason we are taking our time with that particular bill is we don't want republican administrations to come in to clean house at the v.a. every four years. and then democrats come in and clean house because they would have the right under this bill to fire everybody. >> as far as this goes. he remembers morning and the author of these bills from texas, a term to privatetize something that's been a long-time coming. >> as a fiscal conservative and as my colleagues in the house are, it is just common sense if a service can be found in the yellow pages, we believe it aught to be privatetized as much as possible, certainly when it comes to our veterans. remember approaching memorial day, our men and women in uniform fighting the war on terror are all volunteers and less than one half of the 1% in

the nation that stepped forward to protect us. they deserve our very best with immediate access to medical care. and we need to do everything in our power to clear those logjams and get them into the v.a. hospitals as soon as they need it. >> this speaks to something big we are obamacare. on a very small scale we have the veterans administration to handle popsicles, but now we think of taking care of our veterans. now you add millions and millions of people onto this kind of system and this is the kind of health care. >> hundreds of millions. >> and a new fox poll overnight on obamacare, remember, the same organization is running veterans affairs as obamacare. 43% right now oppose obamacare right now. that's a big drop. and one in three people according to a new report still when they go to the website can't log in and get the care that they are trying to sign up for. what a mess. so when all these things are

going wrong at home, this is a fried an and trued. when things are going poorly at home, turn to foreign policy. that's exactly what president obama said this week with a big foreign policy speech this coming week. >> yeah, he's going to give a commencement address at west point on wednesday. and he's going to be talking about foreign policy and anything new? not really. he's been criticized for being an isolationist and reportedly is going to be say iing that its an international list, whatever that is. and he's going to be addressing syria, russia and nuclear negotiations. >> and in ukraine, which is kind of a-month-old now, now he's doing these big policies. a month ago when the v.a.

scandal was breaking, he was talking about climate change. we were a month behind on everything here. so maybe in a month he'll begin to address the v.a. >> it was one of his stronger suits, though. when you looked at polls over time, president obama on foreign policy was one of his stronger suits. but look at the news poll, 39% of approval rating right now for president obama. 11% just don't know. >> compare it to six years ago 52% say weaker, less powerful. 29% the same as before. >> go to our facebook page for more on this. coming up, a u.s. marine sergeant is stuck in a mexican jail over a simple mistake. this morning his father speaks to us for the first time. his family is joining us live, next. and you may not see a catch

16 minutes after the hour on this memorial day weekend, a marine sergeant is stuck in a mexican jail. andrew tamarissi has been there two months after making a wrong turn and crossing the border with three guns he legally owned here in the u.s. andrew's mother jill is here and long with his father, paul, an

sister andrea in their first tv interview all together. good morning and thank you for joining us. >> good morning! >> jill, i'm going to start with you. i hear that your son is going to get his day in court next week. why is it taking almost two months after he had been, you know, bound to a bed in four-point constraints for over a month? >> i'm outraged. i don't understand why his case wasn't extradited immediately. and to be 60 days out from the actual event and for the border officials to woefully delay their statements 60 days out, i'm outraged. >> paul, this is the first time you have spoken out about this. why do you think this is taking so long for secretary of state john kerry to simply go to mexico and raise the issue is all that we've heard. what else do you want them to do? >> i think that they really should push the process through and make this happen soon

because as you said, it's been 60 days. and it's been too long for a mistake that is wrong and to pay the price for it. >> they are trying to get andrew released. you need 100 signatures to get the president address this, 100,000 signatures. you are asking america to join the fight. what would you like? >> america, please bring my brother home. we served our country with two tours in afghanistan. we want him home to get treatment for ptsd and to be here with our family. we need 5,000 more signatures every single day this week until the end of the month. >> jill, i know your interaction has been limited. when was the last time you were able to speak to your son?

>> just yesterday. remarkably he's able to make collect calls home. so we spoke to him yesterday all the family did. >> and how is he doing? what did he tell you? >> he's trying to keep his spirits up. he's cautiously optimistic. we explain every day the championing efforts of our legislative team marched on by congress representative duncan hunter. and he's hopeful if secretary of state did raise the issue while he was in mexico, so he's holding on to every little iota of hope. >> we thank him for serving for our freedoms serving two tours are. the conditions he's dealing with right now, how do they compare to his time overseas? >> he's hungry, for one. he's given water and bread every day, so he misses food.

>> jill, this is your opportunity as well, if the president of the united states is listening right now, what would you like to say? >> i would say that my son served his country honorably in the marine corps and is still a reservist until 2016. please help bring sergeant tahmooressi home so he can continue to serve his country. >> we hope so. thank you for your time. >> thank you. we are following a fox news alert on the violent rampage ending six innocent lives in california. new details on the victims, the shooter and the shocking message he left behind. and how can terminal cancer totally vanish without any medical explanation at all? well, it did for this woman. you're going to hear more from her and how on earth a thousand other cancer patients experienced the same thing. we'll hear this woman's story, coming up. i bought a car, over and tells you, and you're like. a good deal or not. looking at truecar.com. there's no buyer's remorse.

welcome back. a fox news alert for you. could the revenge-fueled rampage near the university of california-santa barbara be prevented? the gunman is 22-year-old elliott rodger. a troubled man with aspergers and just weeks before killing six people and injuring 13 others throughout the isla vista community, santa barbara deputies made a welfare check on him. his family was concerned about youtube videos he made talking about suicide and killing people. but after talking to him, deputies found him to be clear to make a phone call. how would you feel if you

were told you had terminal cancer and it radically disappeared? our next guest says it is no act. joining us is the author of "radical remission." i want to start with you, years ago you went through all kinds of treatment. treatment everyone said you need to go through, chemo, surgery, tell me about your experience. >> three surgeries, 44 radiation treatments over two-and-a-half years of chemotherapy. seven different drugs. and nothing worked. nada. i was at the end of all that and now we were going into different experimental things and i just had to find a different method and another way to save my life and how to -- dr. turner documents all the strategies that i used by people around the world use. >> you were a single mother.

you had a young child. >> going through a divorce. helping and caring for six family members. i mean, life was so stressful. and i just said, i cannot live this drama. i have to rewrite this story. and so anything anybody would come to me with, i would try. if someone said, do a hula dance and learn foreign languages. i literally did everything, but there were several things that just really turned it around for me. >> tell me how that start happened, how you turned it around? >> sure. i think the key for me was i had read an excerpt from norman cousins book "anatomy of an illness" that talks about laughter, humor, joy, happiness. when you're fighting something terminal or acute, right away i just started to employ comedy and joy into my life and use that as a major strategy to get through all that bad news. all that bad treatment.

and because my spirit was so strong, every day i get bad news or there was an alternative treatment to try or new surgery or new radiation or chemotherapy, i was fortified with such a good attitude and always hopeful that at any minute my radical emission could arrive. >> which did happen. doctor, i want to turn to you, the idea of radical emission, it is not something we hear about, but we hear about radiation, chemo and therapy seeming to be the only options we have. but tell me what research was done and what you have found about radical emission? >> radical emission is when someone heals from cancer without western medicine or after western medicine has done all it can, like in saranne's case. >> you studied a thousand people and tell us about the common threads that came through the people with radical emission. >> no one was studying them or looking for common threads. when i studied the people the last ten years there, were

common threads now to study. those were things like radical change in diet, moving toward fruits and vegetables and away from meats, wheats, fruits and dairy. taking dietary supplements. by the way, she did all nine of these things. and the others were emotional shifts, like increasing positive emotions as much as you can, but not all the time, but a little bit every day. the list goes on and on. >> saranne, what message do you have for people fighting this near the end of the road? >> i see it happen all the time, it can happen now, it can happen now, it can happen now. i watch miracles happen every day and you don't know what strategy is going to help your own immune system kick the -- out of your own cancer. you have to enjoy this as your

focal point and every minute know whatever spiritual source you believe in, that with that power you can literally redirect your body. >> it can happen now. that's a good message for everything in your life. dr. turner, thank you, your book "radical emission." congratulations, we are happy you are doing well. kids on the school bus caught on tape. why these kids are now in big trouble. and he's one of the famous bald eagles in history traveling the country as a symbol of our freedom. challenger spreads his wings for us ahead. good job! still runnng in the morning? yeah. getting your vegebles every day? when i can.

when he was here in mass in nativity square here in bethlehem, he invited the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas and the president of israel to come and pray for peace. it's a message that is a shot at benjamin netanyahu. he's delivering a message of peace to the palestinian and israeli territories. it's a message many people are ready to hear, but it will cause wave there is in israel when he heads there tonight. >> it is interesting to see this trip happening. so far no big security issues. >> yep. especially not being in the bullet-proof pontiff mobile there. now to other stories making headline this is sunday morning. a big win for to points of common core. oklahoma lawmakers voting overwhelmingly to repeal the math and education standards. that bill is now headed to governor mary fallon's desk for her signature. if she approves it, standards

carefully. >> one of them is actually graduating like you just said. that probably would be a good one if you're going to be in debt and not have the degree to show at the end of the day. we'll show you the degrees worth it. some of the majors making you money and can help you get out of debt more quickly. tell us about those. >> so majors in science, technology, engineering and math called s.t.e.m. majors produce more than liberal arts or social science majors because those kinds of skills are in much more demand across the country and the world. a lot of times we have seen this stereotypical english major starbucks barista and it's a sad stereotype but it's because the marketplace doesn't place as great of value on the skills that they have. >> okay. so english majors, maybe not -- i'm going to land you the big cost paying job, so we'll look at the advanced degrees to avoid, art majors, that sort of

thing? >> art history is near the bottom. philosophy, religious studies, i don't want to knock these things because they have a lot of value in and of themselves. my co-author and i both have a graduate degree in the liberal arts, so it's okay to study these things for their own purpose, but i think people need to be careful and figure out what the average return on investment is for these kinds of degrees. >> what's a college diploma worth these days? >> we heard that you earn a million more over your lifetime over a high school graduate. it may not be quite that much, but there's no doubt in my mind if you have a bachelor's degree on average you'll earn probably at least half a million more over the course of your life. but again, we have to dising

disaggragate that. >> the earning potential is double what you would have gotten for your same bang for your buck in 1965 or am i reading that wrong? >> it absolutely can be, but it is very dependent on the kind of things you major in and where you go to school. i mean, if off credential from the ivies or stanford or the great public schools like ucla or university of michigan or texas, your odds are a lot better of getting a good job and earning a good salary. >> what did you make of the google stories a few weeks ago, where it came out they are not looking at your college degree want higher. she's able to be a team leader and work through problems. they don't care if you have a college degree. what do you make of that? >> google's 16% of their workforce that is no college degree. they are hiring those who tinkered in their basement and have the skills the company wants. and they are evaluating you pretty closely in terms of

leadership, writing skills and things like that. so it goes show a college degree is not necessarily worth it on the outside. >> david, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. another scandal at home, the v.a. in disarray. now the president decides it's the perfect time to talk foreign policy. is that a good idea? we'll report, you decide. and sunscreen lasts longer and works better. banned in the to explain why americans are getting burned. dr. seagle has the best job of the morning. ♪

hey, everybody. memorial day weekend has arrived. and we're talking about sunscreen today. >> did you know the european sunscreens are more effective but not available in the u.s.? why is this? >> joining us is mark seagle from the fox news medical a-team. good morning. >> it's a good time to talk about this with over 3 million cases of skin cancer in the united states every year, the number one cancer. and we know it is proven recently sunscreen is effective at protecting us against that, but europe has the best sunscreens. eight essential ingredient that is are not in sunscreens here that protect us against uva light, which is against aging, aid spots, age spots and

wrinkles to cause skin care. >> is that because the fda is afraid of the products everywhere except for here are worried about the side effects of the problem. what's the problem? >> i have been researching that every week. the fda did not say that and i spoke to the president of the melanoma and the european sunscreen. >> what is available in other countries are a more expansive array of products for consumers that provide both uva and uvb protection that are presented in different formulation that last longer on the skin. that penetrate in a way that's going to make them more effective. there have been a number of innovations in the science of sunscreen in the last ten years. and those products are not available here in the u.s. >> ultimately, what does this

look like. have you heard of the fda on this? they said it takes a long time. quote, the fda remains committed to allow sunscreens coin tainting additional ingredients to be made available to consumers if there is enough data to show they are generally recognized as safe and effective for use in over-the-counter sunscreens. i think it should be available here. >> so conspiracy theorists might say, hey, this is business big having a strongle-hold on the fda. they want to make sure they can get these products. >> this is no innovation, we want to get this out to the market. and maybe they are competing with those that have a stranglehold on the market.

>> thank you for that information. >> use your sunscreen every two hours because it wears off. what we have in the u.s. works but it wears off. >> clayton, thank you very much. back inside to you. >> so every two hours, not every two years like i've done. that's a mistake. >> stop spraying her down, doc. >> here we go. coming up on the show, president obama said to answer his critics about his foreign policy decision, but will his words be enough? chris wallace weighs in next hour. and a college student gets the graduation gift of a lifetime that almost didn't happen. her father, army captain, finally home. you have to join us in the studio, straight ahead. ♪ i bought a car, over and tells you, and you're like. a good deal or not. looking at truecar.com. there's no buyer's remorse.

alright, russell you are good to go! alright, fellas. alright, russ. back to work! hello, everyone. good morning, it is sunday, the 25th of may, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. we begin with a fox news alert. it's being called the work of a madman. chilling surveillance video as people duck and run for cover from a revenge-driven shooter. and this morning we are learning more about what led to the rampage and how it could have been prevented. and another scandal here at home. the v.a. in disarray. and now the president decides it's the perfect time to talk foreign policy. is that a good idea? we report, you decide. then the graduation gift of a lifetime. >> congratulations, young lady.

>> that army dad traveled all the way from afghanistan to surprise his daughter on graduation day. they both join us live this hour. "fox and friends" hour three starts right now. let's get right to this fox news alert. it was an elaborate plan to kill as many people as possible. this morning we are learning more about the deadly revenge-fueled shooting near the university of california-santa barbara that claimed the lives of seven people including the gunman. >> horrible. and the shooter has been identified this morning as 22-year-old elliott rodger. he's the son of a hollywood movie director. rodger laying out his plans in a disturbing youtube video where he talked about slaughtering sorority girls and wrote a 140-page manifesto entitled "my twisted world" that detailed his

life from birth up to friday's deadly plot. >> we are joined live from the isla vista community. domenick, people have had time to pour over the 141 pages and had more time to notify people's families. what is it you are learning there? >> reporter: we expect the authorities to name additional victims, three of those were named yesterday. those three victims were actually remembers at a very moving vigil that took place last night. at least a thousand people walked in a very slow, solemn procession around the neighborhood here. it was extraordinarily moving. remembering katherine cooper, age 22. chris fer ross martinez who was 20. and veronika weiss, 19. we expect more details to come out about the shooter.

we have been hearing precisely the therapy rodger was going through. take a listen to this. >> the child was diagnosed at an earlier age of being a highly functional s functional asperger's syndrome child. >> we are beginning to hear what his problems were. building up to this, there were a number of videos in which he would rage and give his cold, brutal plans of attacking particularly females. the very last one that rodger posted just two hours before he went on his rampage has since been taken down. and perhaps one of the reasons for that is that he doesn't actually get the credit that he so much very wanted from how the way he was expressing just how his day of retribution was going to roll out. i think people here, it will be a very slow morning, which is not unusual for student open

claef enclave after last night, but you can see how shaken the community is here. people are still asking people who knew him, what is actually quite strange is that we have not heard from anybody at all who personally knew him or personally had any interaction with him. and from the way he described and felt isolated and lonely as cause of the resentment, that is not much of a surprise. >> it is interesting we have not heard from anybody. and his three roommates he killed. >> exactly. thank you so much, dominic, doing a great job in california. one of the big questions is whether or not the police then went into the wellness check-ups on him and the psychiatrist had meetings with them. why did they give him a pass after meeting with him three different times after concern from the family from sitting down to discuss the issues? he was talking about suicide and hurting other people. >> and he seemed like a kind and wonderful man. >> right. >> those are the words they used after meeting with him. >> but a menial disorder of some

sort to put on a different mask at different times, maybe he could appear to be right there. he looks like a normal kid, doesn't he? he will inflict this type of serious injury on this many people causing as much carnage as possible. and he writes in the 141-page manifesto that he was concerned when the police came to his home, that they may find him out. and he thought for a moment it may all be over. >> had they entered his bedroom, they would have discovered the entire plot he had been planning would have fallen apart. >> all typed out. as dr. ablow talked about, a severe personality disorder. we'll learn more about him this morning. also we are learning more about the veterans affairs situation and whether or not secretary shinseki will be asked to step down. that has not happened yet. somehow over the past few hours the veterans affairs have announced they will be privatizing the care to get rid of the backlog inundating the

v.a. handing it over to private hospitals. the administration is listening to democratic critics. you need to get rid of the backlog and open up the flood gate to hand over the care to private hospitals. >> this just came out yesterday. and the v.a. issued a statement to say the vha developed a coordinated system-wide initiative to accelerate care to veterans. each of our facilities is either enhancing their clinic capacity to help veterans get care sooner. >> it seems like this could have been happening all along. >> for years they could have been doing this. >> it seems for years there's been problem in the v.a. system. >> and the doctor backlog. they have received $150 billion in funding yet they have not hired more doctors to handle the 50% increase in the number of cases they had to take on after the wars in afghanistan and iraq. and we spoke to congressman john culverson on the show earlier this morning, he's one of the authors of a number of the bills

sitting on senator harry reid's desk. 14 different bills sitting there while they are home on memorial day weekend break. take a listen. >> as a free market fiscal conservative, as my colleagues in the house are, it's just common sense. if a service can be found in the yellow pages, believe it aught to be privateized as much as possible. certainly when it comes to our veterans, remember, as we approach memorial day, our men and women in uniform fighting the war on terror are all volunteers. they are less than one-half of the 1% of the nation that stepped forward to serve us and protect us. they deserve our very best and need immediate access to medical care. and we need to do everything in our power to clear the logjams to get them to the v.a. hospitals as soon as they need it. >> this is super interesting that now we are taking people from the private v.a. system mes we launch obamacare. the v.a. system does such a great amount of work for a certain number of people.

and now we are adding millions of people onto the health care system. and that may wake people up to say this is not a good thing. >> if you take a look at a new poll out about obamacare and the popularity or lackthereof, this is public opinion. 43% of people oppose it. 28% support it. part of that is because a large portion of the american population is eligible for this. can't log in or sign up. >> same people running the obamacare right now. same people running veterans affairs and nothing has changed. that's your impression of it in a fox news poll. >> meanwhile, this is happening with all the other issues here at home. the president taking this opportunity to talk about foreign policy over the weekend. this is what presidents do. when things go back a at home, turn to foreign policy because that used to be a silver lining for president obama. his poll numbers reflected that. but now the latest poll is not reflecting that.

more americans disapprove of the president's handling of foreign policy than approve of it. 39%, that's a huge drop of where the president was on foreign policy. >> it will start on wednesday. he's giving the commencement address at west point. then to europe to try to shore up some support for his policy. we'll see, he has not had a chance to look at this again. >> he said, no, i'm an internationalist, but he's said to be addressing ukraine, russia annexing crimea, nuclear negotiations with iran and also issues with china. so we'll see what happens on wednesday and continue to monitor that. but if you look at his foreign policy approval ratings now compared to six years ago, it's staggering. much more on that throughout the show this morning, but first, some headlines.

pope francis is in jordan and is looking into a bethlehem. he's even been making political statements today saying the israeli/palestinian stalemate is, quote, unacceptable. and two jewish men were attacked outside a synagogue in paris hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. the attackers took off on foot and bike and are still on the run. this attack happening just hours after a deadly shooting at the brussels jewish museum in belgium. the suspect there is also still on the loose. check out this small plane making an emergency landing in california after experiencing mid-flight problems. the terrain that the plane ended up landing on was so rough the plane completely flipped over. the pilot and passenger suffered minor injuries. kurt busch is pulling double

duty today. the nascar driver is attempting to become the only second person to complete the indy 500 and the coca-cola 600 in just a single day. that includes the airplane ride from indiana to north carolina, which he'll be loadinging up his car for his 1100 miles of racing today. that's hard core. you hope you don't have to use the bathroom, ever. >> that's going to be a long day for him. well, as you are heading out this weekend for your memorial day, we'll look at your weather to show you what's going on. this is tomorrow's forecast. if you're off for your monday, we'll see some rain. scattered showers and thunderstorms across the central part of the country up from minneapolis down to houston. not a washout for anybody today, but we'll see scattered showers. you'll also notice temps warm up across areas of the east. the northeast has been cool. we have been dealing with afternoon thunderstorms. for the most part, that's gone, but we can't rule out one more day of a pop-up thunderstorm.

the bigger story is out across parts of west texas. it's been the story for years with the drought going on there. and now we have this slow-moving storm that each day for the next three days is springing us the threat for severe weather and the threat for another three to five inches. and it is not great news but might cause localized flooding. that will clear up the problems for the farmers and ranchers. by the time we get to the east on wednesday, we are getting warm. we see thunderstorms a lot and the 100-degree readings and the 90s and the 80s. >> a good warm spread. >> i don't know what that means? >> like country crock on an english muffin. president obama speaks and chris wallace will be here to

decipher it all.

welcome back. first, the president waited a month to address the v.a. scandal and then said democrats blocked a bill designed to make it easier to hold those responsible accountable. >> now the department of veteran affairs claims they are redoubling efforts to help veterans by offering private care. >> so what took so long? here is the host of "fox news sunday," chris wallace. good morning to you, chris. what did take so long? >> well, it's a good question, anna, and i don't know i have a good answer for it. the president when he came out finally after several weeks of not talking about the scandal, this week talked about waiting

for new studies, but that doesn't answer the question. if there was any indication that some veterans needed care and hasn't gotten it, and the v.a. has done this in the past that can easily do what they decided to do this weekend, which is to say we'll make it available for any veteran who has been seeking care and unable to get it because of these long backlogs for weeks and months, that they can go to a private doctor, private hospital and we'll pick up the tab. they have done it in the past and should have done it some years ago, too. >> i want to talk to you about secretary shinseki, the chorus gets louder in washington and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and not take a breath to say, we have to fire this guy. then you start to hear more maybe measures responses. we heard from colonel peters yesterday and general casey on our show yesterday saying, wait a second. congress should be the one held accountable here. if there's one guy that can see

us through the mess it is him. so you have your ear to the congressmen down in white house. is he clearly gone? >> one, if the president had wanted him gone, he would have announced it this week because i wond say he has the most secure position if the world. but maybe like kathleen sebelius, eventually within weeks or months he'll be gone, but there's a lot of respect for shinseki as a wounded veteran and general. there's a lot of regard for him. i think there's some pushback. people like john mccain has been critical of this president. he doesn't think shinseki should go. we'll be talking at the top of the hour about this with the head of the group. the iraq and veterans of

america. we'll ask him if the veterans coming back are mo rock kan afghanistan. the two recent were. whether they have trouble over shinseki. >> how does this scandal impact the presidency and how long will it last? does it have legs to have long-term effects on the president and his legacy, potential in this? >> well, i have a mixed answer on that. look, the problem is with the v.a. and did not begin with barack obama. he campaigned for the president saying he was going to criticize him for the fact that he has not fixed it, but the fact he has done that has not yet been invented. but one of the concerns in a funny way is because this is so non-political. it doesn't matter whether you

are conservative or liberal, we all feel the veterans deserve the best we can give them. and the idea of particularly these veterans from iraq and afghanistan who may have been grievously injured defending the country, them not getting medicare is unacceptable. and that's the reason the democrats seek election. the midterms are also approved about this. voting is underway in the ukraine right now and vladimir due tin is going to accept how the ukrainian people vote and work with whomever they pick as their new leader. what else are you going to focus on the show today. i imagine that will be a big part of it. >>. >> obviously, they have the latest on the rampage in santa barbara, california. and also we talked to getting a live report from ukraine and talked to senator kelly ayotte leading a international monitoring group to see whether in eastern ukraine the pro-russian separatists have

been able to disrupt it. >> chris wallace. check your local listings for "fox news sunday." appreciate it. the graduation gift of a lifetime. you won't believe this, a surprise from a soldier to his daughter that is great. there they are. life reimagined gives you tools and support to get the career you'll love. find more real possibilities at aarp.org/possibilities

smoking with chantix. for 33 years i chose to keep smoking... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.

use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

hey, everybody. 24 minutes after the hour on your sunday morning. columbia student ruby robinson was preparing to celebrate her college graduation without her father as he fights for our country in afghanistan. as she walks across the stage to receive her diploma, this was the last thing she expected. watch. >> congratulations, young lady.

[ cheers and applause ] >> i love you so much. >> so much emotion. you are going to make me cry. army captain keith robinson and his daughter ruby join us now. you decided to match, too. you look great. thank you for being with us. ruby, when you saw your father, i mean, you were prepared to spend this big milestone in your life without him, and what was going through your mind when you see him? >> i was completely shocked. i didn't expect him to be there at all. and i basically, when you are going across the stage, you don't want to trip or anything, so when i saw him, i was just shocked and i didn't understand what was going on at first. so it was definitely a great surprise. >> you must be pretty tight. you didn't think you were going to be able to come at first either, but your higher up signed off for it. you got two weeks together. what are the two weeks going to be like? >> well, first it was very emotional. i mean, i just didn't want to let her go when i first hugged

her, but there's so much to do in two weeks. we spent a week here in new york and it's been lovely time. but now we've got to go back to denver and i have a lot of stuff to do before next sunday. >> what are you going the to do together in denver? >> going to the outlets and shopping is what we usually do and then the movies. >> i come back and you are already asking for my credit card, huh? >> basically. >> ruby, you are going to be working for amazon in irvine, california. are you hoping that along the way you get to see your dad? how long is it before you get to see him again? >> i think he'll be there a month or two before i get back to california. so i will have to move in to my apartment and stuff without him, but i know he'll be there as soon as he can. >> yeah. on memorial day, obviously, our attention is toward our servicemen and women, but very often we don't understand the plight that families go through if we don't experience it ourselves. how difficult has it been to be away from your family?

>> it's always hard, so i'm a reservist. you have your civilian life and have to turn around and put on your full-time active duty and go away. this was my fifth deployment. she was 5 years old when up went away the first time, so you're stepping in and out of their lives for a significant period of time. and that's when your wife really has to step up and be that backbone, she becomes the mother and father, everything while i'm away. so all the service members know that we have to take our hats off to our significant others that we leave behind. >> yeah, the spouse has to step up and the kids have to be understanding. has it been hard to be understanding about why your dad is not here? >> i think when you are younger it is more difficult, but as you get older, i have a younger sister, so i always try to be strong for her. and that makes it less difficult, i guess. yeah. >> and really, just hats off to you. how do you feel like the military has strengthened your family? is there any way you feel like it has made your bond tighter for the time you have with one

another? >> we really are a close-knit family anyway. we are really supportive of one another. but the military has always been there. army one source, the family readiness, well, when you leave and go away, there's always a support group in the rear. and there's a rare detachment, if somebody came up, i can make a phone call and somebody can be there at the door to support the family. >> and technology has made it easier to communicate as well. how often do you guys talk to each other? >> usually he'll see us on skype and he'll call. >> i'm laughing. we have had some pretty hilarious skypes going back and forth. she's really entertaining. >> ruby robinson and captain keith robinson, thank you so much to both of you for your time today and for your service. >> thank you for having us. >> appreciate it. 28 minutes after the hour. honoring our nation's heroes through film. >> i'm not sure what part of it

32 minutes past the hour. he was mentally disturbed. that's what police are saying about the 22-year-old man who killed six people and hurt 13 others. elliott rodger is his name. he talked about his plan to kill as many people as possible in a youtube video posted hours before the shooting remain page. the video has been pulled down. he also wrote a 141-page manifesto entitled "my twisted world." in it he details his life and his plan for revenge on sorority girls. the rodger family attorney says he was diagnosed with aspergers and had been seeing a therapist. he was bullied all throughout his life. he then killed three men at his apartment and gunned down two

women outside a sorority house when they would not let him in the door in the isla vista community. then he drove to a deli. he was out in the parking lot at the time and bullets were flying through, you can see them shatter refrigerator doors on the left-side of the screen. people are diving for cover. terrifying moments as people dive for cover. one person killed at the deli. three of the six killed have been identified. 20-year-old christopher michael martinez. 22-year-old katherine cooper. and 19-year-old veronika weiss. we will continue to follow this on fox news channel throughout the morning. rick? crews in washington, d.c. to honor our veterans. peter doocy is live on the national mall in washington where we are a few hour ace way

from the start of this ride. peter? >> reporter: rick, the inspiration behind this ride was to get a bunch of people together in washington, d.c. to show support for america's prisoners of war. this is now the 27th year of rolling thunder. tens of thousands of bikers will be here today riding. beautiful machines like you see right behind me. and many of the folks we talked to say that the ride has taken on a new meaning this year with everything going on at the v.a. hospitals across the country with revelations of veterans being treated badly. they say this year's ride will be all about making sure the veterans stick together. listen to what one man told us here riding for his son. >> i would hope that we can show the same support to him in 50 years that we have shown to the veterans now. coming from the vietnam era, that was a forgotten time. when they came back, they were like, do what you want. there's not a lot of support. therefore, we should be giving them support to the veterans

coming back. >> reporter: so right now in the parking lot at the pentagon, tens of thousands of bikers from across the country are all revving up. in a few hours, they are going to take off for a very slow ride through arlington, virginia. they are going to come across the memorial bridge right by the lincoln memorial where we are. and they will finish up near the mall where everybody is going to be for a ceremony early this afternoon. we will be here. it will be very loud. so stay tuned. >> peter, looks like an awesome time. i apologize, my mike was off. in case you were wondering what was going on. a quick programming note to tell you about. 70 years after the great allied victory, greta van sesteran has more on d-day coming up tonight

at 10:00 p.m. and the film festival is being held this weekend in washington, d.c. >> and with real stories of true mere heroes, take a look. >> i have a good life map now. i'm really doing well. >> people call me a hero, but i'm not sure what part of it makes me a hero. i just had a normal day at work that turned ugly. >> fox news contributor kevin mccarthy attended the festival this weekend and is joining us live from washington. kevin, this was a powerful weekend, wouldn't you agree? >> yeah, inspiring is another word that came to mind. an incredible film festival that started on monday with an incredible civil war film. and now it premiered all throughout the week. tonight is the least day for the

festival. you can still get tickets. they are celebrating women in the military with a film called "fort bliss." you can still buy tickets this evening. the movie trailer you saw was an incredible movie from "soldier story." travis is aretired army sergeant who was one of just five quadruple amputees in the war in iraq and afghanistan to survive their injuries. gary sunisse was there to be with travis, and i had to chance to sit down with both of them. i sat down with a lot of actors throughout my career, but this was the most nervous i have been for an interview in my entire life sitting across from two incredible american heroes. now travis couldn't have been more happy. he was the most energetic, happy guy i have met in my life. and i was having fun with the

guy. he was an incredible person to talk to. one of the things i found fascinating in the clip is he doesn't determine himself to be a hero. it was a normal day at work that went bad. and i spoke to him about that line. check this out. >> i signed up for it. i was going overseas, these guys are on patrol every day, so i did nothing above and beyond than what they do every day. and i just ended up having no arms and legs on the ground. >> when you look at him at the hospital and how he was powering through and setting an example for every service member in there wounded and everything, it is pretty inspirational. he's a motivational guy. >> and travis was one of five quadruple amputees that came back from the wars in iran afghanistan. what kind of wounds did you see or did he overcome it all with his demean her? >> that's the great part of the story. he's such a happy guy.

because of his wife and daughter, i spoke to them at the premier, they are beautiful and wonderful to meet. that kept him going. he said if i gave up on life, i would have given up on my family. i thought that was a brilliant idea. and the concept of this documentary, they actually reenacted the exact moment that happened to travis. travis reenacted it with his fellow soldiers. and travis said it was harder for his fellow soldiers to reenact it than it was for him. check it out. >> i had to convince the guys. for me, i kind of knew, look, i already know any of this, but it was kind of -- they did it for me out of respect for me. and love for me, i guess. because they were there, they lived through it. and they had to see everything. for me, i remember everything but i'm okay. i told the producer or the filmmaker and said, john, they are going to do it three times. we do training so much in the military that it looked like another training day. and it turned out really well. i said, a couple more, no, they

are done. and the guys said if they had me in the overseas uniform, they probably wouldn't have been able to go through the whole thing. so taking them back to the whole day was a lot harder. >> this is seriously an incredible film. request the screening for it at travisthemovie.com. travis will skype in and talk to you on the night you host it. he's an incredible person. and mr. gary sunisse, what an incredible person. and gary is building a smarthouse for travis in maine for his family. just an incredible person. very cool for that. travisthemovie.com. tickets for tonight's event are celebrating men in the military. >> thank you for sharing. kevin, great to see you. coming up on the show, sorry, kids. no playing outside anymore. that's the order from one apartment complex. they say it's for safety, but should we let xwids kids? and they don't call us the

helicopter this morning kicking off the second day of his mobile east tour. we are joined by coner powell in bethlehem, what has been the reaction of the the pope there and coming in by helicopter also? >> reporter: well, clayton, pope francis arrived here earlier today and gave way to everything landing and meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. and calling the situation here in palestine unacceptable. open he then took a trip to the security barrier between israel and bethlehem and put his head against that wall and basically prayed there for a few minutes. it was very symbolic, one many palestinians were pleased to see. and he came here in front of 10,000 people or so. during that mass, pope francis invited the israeli president and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas to the vatican to meet and pray for peace.

given the peace negotiations that just collapsed a month ago, it's a very significant offer. it's unknown what will come out of it, but any sort of manner is a big step forward. later in an hour pope francis will go to jerusalem to meet with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and he'll meet with the med of the eastern orthodox church in a historic meeting between the two christian leaders. it is a big and eventful trip on day two of the trip to the holy land. >> coner powell, where it is afternoon in bethlehem right now. thank you. over to rick. all right, are you looking to make more money or to get out of debt? one of the keys to financial success may be found in the bible and not on wall street. sean heiman is the author of "the six keys to financial success." sean, welcome this morning. it's an interesting thing. i don't think think of the bible

as a place to talk about wealth and getting money, but you say that's exactly what it is. >> exactly. the bible talks about money than anything else, there's a lot in there. >> you say there's an example in proverbs 6 verses 6-8. >> the bible says there's no commander, no ruler. yet in the summer they store up provisions for the winter to come. so that tells us that even though nobody makes it, in the good times, we should save up some of our money for the recessions that could come. so it tells us to kick some money back so we will be able to perceive the bad times to come. >> which makes perfect sense as well. also you say it talks about debt reduction.

proverbs 6, chapter 22 verse 7, you say debt is discussed in this verse. >> with each paycheck, we decide really whether we are going to be richer or we are going to be enslaved, be poorer. so a lot of times people think they just have one we have many bosses named mastercard and visa and so forth. people don't believe sometime they have the bosses and quit making their payments and they call you up to introduce themselves and take what you have away. so the thought there is to take part of your paycheck and make sure you're paying down your debt so that you are really freeing yourself from the bonds of enslavement and making yourself richer than the enslaved. >> it makes sense. and how you say investing, matthew 25 verses 14 to 29, the parable of the talents. how does this teach us about investing? >> the parable of the talents was a guy going on a journey to

bring hisser is va er iser i se today. two to one, one to another and another. and each according to their ability. we need to increase our ability, skill level, increase what we do in work, increase our ability to steward better, and god will give us more. the one that had five and two talents, doubled then. and then there was the wicked and lazy servant. a lot of people bury talents under the ground. they should invest it. >> you're the author of six keys to financial success. you can get the book and get the ideas. thank you. >> thank you. democrats are outraged over the v.a. scandal. colonel allen west weighs in. and a two-page spread to teenage

now listen to this story, a high school in arizona dedicating two pages of the yearbook to students who have children, leaving some parents outraged saying it sends the wrong message. some say it's the new norm. and we have alexis johnson here, and dr. charles williams. nice to see both of you this morning. start with you, parents saying this is outrageous and glamorizing teen pregnancy. what do you say? >> i say i think not. i think if parents should be outraged in arizona, it's because nationally, teen

pregnancy is on the decline, and in arizona, it's increasing. in large part because there's an abstinenc abstinence-only tex education policy. we have seen teen pregnancies going down in non-abstinenceble-only education. there's no dpla mower, and we have seen that across the board. >> doctor, what do you say? >> no offense to my colleague, but she's avoiding the issue. whether or not we have the appropriate plans in place to prevent teen pregnancy is separate from glamorizing and glorifying it. we have reality tv shows. don't tar and feather kids and castigate and ostracize them, but we have to send a clear message that it's not a good thing for a teen to be pregnant. when girls are pregnant, one-third drop out of high school. young fathers tend not to stick around. it's not a good thing if you

talk to those who are older and being pregnant at a young age, it was difficult, it was a challenge. we don't want teens getting pregnant. >> i agree. it's difficult at 40. >> right. >> but i think that we have one in four students not getting access to -- to contraception or understanding the basics of contraception because they're being preached abstinence only. not everybody can two to the youth pastor or parents. unfortunately. but if we don't have the right policies, we're not glamorizing, we need to take responsibility. >> unfortunately we're out of time. we could spend an hour, but a lot of breaking news this morning. thanks so much for joini ing us. >> thank you.

prison. brand new information from the mother and pastor helping to keep our faith alive. we start right now. ♪ >> i love bands too. right? the u.s. navy band performing" stars and stripes" right now. we know how to handle a patriotic holiday on "fox & friends." >> i was out there, it's a cool, breezy manhattan morning. and we have this incredible story. ron white, he's a veteran, he brought this portable wall with him, a memory wall. the veterans names. he can write all these names from memory those who have been killed in afghanistan.

he not only knows the names and the order in which they were killed, he knows the rank and the class. all from memory. he's been out there all morning writing down the names of our veterans. >> he started at 2:30 morning. >> what a great way to honor the veterans who died in afghanistan. >> what a skill there too. and a fox news alert. police are expected to release more information on the people killed in a revenge-fueled shooting spree at the university of california santa campus. 22-year-old elliott roger. son of a movie director. he wanted to kill as many people as possible. detailing the plan in a youtube video and a 141-page manifesto. but this isn't the first time there have been problems. the sheriff's office had three run ins with the disturbed teenager. the latest, three weeks ago, the family was concerned about youtube videos. after talking with deputies, he

was cleared. three of the people have been identified, 20-year-old christopher michael martinez, 23-year-old katherine cooper, and 19-year-old veronica weiss. >> they encountered him three times when did they miss? >> let's ask rod. you have had a day to sit on this information, what are your thoughts at this point? >> i can tell you and the viewers that the police responded back on april 30th as a result of a telephone call that they received from family members of mr. rogers. and the family members, according to published reports, they wanted a wellness check conducted on mr. rogers. what does that mean when the police conduct a wellness check? i'll tell you real quick, they are going to go out there -- if mr. rogers is outside of the home, talking to him, looking for signs he may have weapons or something like that. not looking inside the

apartment. if they're satisfied that he doesn't present any immediate threat, the police are going to leave. that's what they did in this case. they made an assessment based on what they saw at that time. they had no right, this is important to understand, i know this is going to come out, they had no right to search the home. that's why they didn't search. >> why go bark thrck three time? were the parents not satisfied in the first go round? or the police not satisfied? why three? >> the last time, april 30th, it was a result of a wellness check. the other previous two times he had encounters with his roomm e roommate. a couple of arguments with a couple of folks. not the past month or two months, that was over a year ago. it's not like the visits were in succession. however, the last time they went out there with the parents and friends of this guy rogers apparently noticed that he was

acting very strange. he had posted some youtube videos talking about the destruction and killing. the question that a lot of people have right now, isn't that enough to take this guy into custody for mental evaluation? the answer is no. the police can't make a medical decision. that's what that would have been. if they had taken him on april 30th based on the video on youtube, they would have been out of line. they don't have the authority. it's up to the family members to get a pro bait warrant, and that's the only reason the police can go and in and take him in. >> one of the run ins the police had is because he did a citizens arrest over candles that were valued at $20. a bizarre turn of events. i want to share a piece of his 141-page manifesto. if they had demanded to search

my room, that would have ended everything. for a few horrible seconds i thought it was all over. you said this wellness check wasn't enough to take him into custody involuntarily. but in virginia with the politician there and the son, these issues of mental illness leading to something so terrible. does something need to change so they can be brought into custody involuntarily? >> that's going to be the question of the week. the thing is, so important to understand, and law enforcement officers, and i have been on several cases like this, go out and evaluate a person for their mention state and capabilities, and we leave the scene because there's nothing that shows us at that moment that this person is a threat to themselves or others. >> what are they going to do now? what are police looking for now? they said the manifesto was dropped off on behalf of him. are there accomplices? what are police combing through?

>> they are looking at who was that person or people that dropped it off. the other thing that's so important in this case, what were the other warning signs that could have been potentially missed. mr. rogers had mental issues from 6 years old. did we miss the warning signs, and could this situation could have been prevented, if somebody had taken action. he was under the care of a mental health physician somewhere. that's all i read on one of the online articles. that's going to be evaluated and they're going to look at that as well. >> and another piece from the manifesto and get your reaction to this. it says" i was cast out because the females of the human species were incapable of seeing the value in me." >> what do you take from this? >> he has serious, significant

mental health issues. not just a problem with women. i have been reading the manifesto, he had a lot of other problems. not just with women. earlier, even back when he was 6 years old, he was refused admittance on a ride at an amusement park for not being tall enough. he talk s about that. he had a lot of issues, and people missed the warning signs. >> another serious case here, rod, of mental illness. we remember adam lanza and the horror in connecticut. now another story of mental illness here. more trouble. rod wheeler, excellent job and amazing perspective on all of this. thanks. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. and other stories making headlines we to want tell you about. pope francis departing beth he ham. he's on a helicopter and on his way to tel aviv.

allow more veterans to get help outside of the facilities to help cut down on the wait times. still playing outside. that's what they are telling children. property managers at the park apartments said that all areas were off-limits for kids. but parents are saying that leaves nowhere for their kids to play. the complex has an area for dogs, but not for children. the apartment manager says the measures are for safety. >> well, it rain there is non-stop. maybe that's it. they don't want the kids to get wet in portland, oregon. >> slip on the playground equipment. >> how is the weather? >> we have problems out there. show you tomorrow. this is your forecast. you'll notice the bawarm temperatures. 86 in minneapolis, and are the center part of the country, storms. a big warmup across the eastern part of the country and across the west. we will again today see spotty

thunderstorms around the northeast. this pesky disturbance brings thunderstorms. but better than yesterday. and tomorrow's a great day. meanwhile, the central part of the country, all the action. and means severe weather. you can see from the south of oklahoma to around loredo today. tomorrow, barely moving to the east. by tuesday, this shifts farther to the east, finally. kind of along the i-35 corridor, and we will see the heavy rainfall there. up to 4 to 6 inches in that spot. texas needs the rain. great news. next few days, there is your monday, memorial day temperatures. and tuesday, if you have to go back to work, i guess, most people have to, there you go, there's your temps. >> so no more snow in denver. didn't they get a blizzard last week? >> we do a family reunion in colorado every year. we went into the mountains and woke up to 4 inches of snow in

late june. >> you only packed shorts and flip-flops. >> exactly. the details around the benghazi attack are not clear. and you want to hear this here, joining us live next. >> remember this, the famous o.j. simpson white bronco chase during an nba game. next up, the trial of the century. geraldo rivera was there. he didn't miss a second. a look back live coming up.

14 bills meant to reform the v.a. passed the house, stalled in the senate. senate democrats need more time to review a three-page document. and we have allen west. colonel, nice to see you this morning as always. >> always a pleasure. how are you doing? >> doing well. earlier on the weekend, in fact yesterday, we had lieutenant colonel ralph peters on the show and general casey, supporting secretary shinseki. saying that fault should be on congress for their oversight and lack of accountability at the hands of v.a. what do you say about that and will shinseki be the fall guy of this? >> i have to disagree with them both. i don't think he's a fall guy. he is in charge of the veterans' administration. and he should have a better finger on the pulse of what is happening there. you could have come in, and as a former military officer, he

knows that if you have a unit in bad shape, it is uncouple bent upon you as a commander to get them in better shape. that's not happened with the veterans administration hospital. and look at president obama, after the speech, he took off and went to cooperstown to talk about tourism. he should have visited veterans administration hospitals and outpatient clinics. and they should have discussed toward moving toward a regional centers of excellence. look at five different v.a. centers and outpatient clinics to start new and better practices and procedures to make sure our veterans are taken care of. >> that's certainly one possible great concept and idea for this. switch gears a little bit. you were on an airplane and met somebody who you say gave you some new information about benghazi. tell me about that. >> well, you know, i do sit on the citizens commission on benghazi and i have been in depth at looking what has

happened there. but this individual had been admonished to get in contact with me from one of the people on the ground there. we had a good two-hour discussion. it's per pleksiplexing that our ambassador in the consulate was under protection of the martyrs of the 17th february brigade, a radical islamist group there. i understand the timing was very close to the consulate. and the most important question is, who told the people at the cia annex who wanted to respond, it was not because the anti-islamic video. and thank god you had two former navy s.e.a.l.s who disobobeyed that order from the chief of the branch and the base and they did respond and lost their lives. but they saved some 30-odd americans we have e yet to hear from. >> what's the response to the

piece you wrote, making waves? what's been the response from congress, the president? have you heard anything? >> i doubt the president is going to call me. i think he's busy with fundraisers and visiting the baseball hall of fame. but once again, the questions that have to be answered, number one, why would there be some type of false narrative created about an anti-islamic video. who was the person that the chief of base at the cia annex in benghazi that told those who wanted to respond to stand down. and obviously the islamists predicted and they knew about the cia ann annex because they set up a blockade to keep help from the consulate in benghazi. we don't have to have individual private citizens like judicial watch get the e-mail unredacted. we can get the people in the administration and in congress to get to the bottom of this.

>> what is the message you have for our troop on this memorial day? >> i hope we can move away from saying memorial day to saying honor memorial day. this is the day we remember those men and women who gave the last full measure of devotion from lexington and concord to the mountain passes of afghanistan to make sure the great hope of this earth, the constitutional republic that we call america will be a beacon of freedom. >> honor memorial day. instead of mattress commercials to get a discounted mattress this weekend. colonel, great to see you. and honor memorial day. >> thank you so much, memorial day. and coming up. look at this, a motorcycle driver runs right into a car and look what happens next. and he's a veteran that's memized the names of every service member who died in afghanistan. and he's writing them all on

getting shot at and eating bad food. that kind of thing. so i wanted to do something -- and actually the background on that painting is a actually a letter that a soldier had written home. it's an unfinished painting. >> that's the handwriting, the letter. what does it say? >> it's a guy writing home. a guy from georgia writing home to his parents about the food that he misses. and then he ends up, of course, never coming home. because if they ever put a letter from a guy in iwo jima, you know he never made it home. because they want you to feel really bad. and you do. but then -- and just to give people the idea of the stuff i do. which you guys see every day. that's what the big picture -- >> we have them in the green rooms and hallways. >> it's subtle brainwashing. >> where can your viewers go if

meat? we have grill experts to help you cook the best barbecue possible. joining us is stu leonard jr., and michael. that's you. >> thank you. >> there we go. so you say one of the big things is know the source of your meat. go to safeway or publix, can they know where they're getting it? >> the big word is local. we started as a family business in connecticut. my grandfather was a dairyman. we have been getting local stuff. what we brought today, we have a real nice corn, you know, which is not local yet, but we know the farm. we have been down to belgrade, florida, where you get the corn. it's so sweet you don't need butter on it. and then you come to the -- there's a tomahawk steak right here, that's a knockout. >> not on the skillet, thg gril. >> some people like these for

the holiday. and that's from out in montana. and my sister makes these rolls right in the bakery right at the store. so i would say to everybody, if you want, you can come out and check out my sister's buns. >> there you go. that's a nice tip. you say trim the fat on your meat. >> yes. >> tell me about that. >> today, obviously anything extra on the beef you want to trim off. so, really, when you're looking at a piece of beef, any white, trim as close as we can at the butcher shops, don't want a lot of white. >> but there's difference on the fat outside and white on the inside. because we used to think you don't want to have any fat in your meat, but you want that fat because it makes it more tender. >> this is a ribeye steak, which has the richest marbling. and ask a rancher from kansas, texas, wyoming, that's the best

cut, the ribeye steak. because of that, it has the marbling inside, it gives it the flavor. >> do you subscribe to the rule of only flip it once? >> well, you know, it depends on what my wife likes. >> okay. >> usually i do. i flip it once. michael, what do you think? >> you know, when you're working with a thick cut of meat like that, and the grill is really going good, i recommend you flip it as much as you need to, otherwise a thick crust. >> that's con metro verbal. you heard it here. >> check the burgers out here. >> don't you worry, i'm checking that burger out. >> we're going to have you eat that one. >> thank you so much. >> he was worried that you wouldn't take a bite of it? >> i know. he clearly hasn't watched the show. >> that's a fear put to rest. >> pays producers to get to do this. coming up. remember this?

we have been telling you all morning long about the revenge-fueled rampage where suspected gunman 22-year-old elliott rodger shot ten people and killed three more people and injured 13. >> we are learning about the mental state and motives. and we have senior correspondent geraldo. we were going to talk about o.j. initially, but this tragedy, what do you make of it? >> it's just an awful thing to happen, a horrible event to happen on memorial day weekend of all times. not that any time is more appropriate, rick. it's just that you have such enormous frustration. here's the obviously deeply-troubled young man who's proclivity toward violence or at least his violent ranting and, you know, going on about it on

the internet were well-known not only to colleagues on this -- this website they used, pickupart, pau88, he exchanged the violent frustration at how he had been unable to integrate socially into any community. how he's a virgin at the age of 22. how he managed to get three handguns, and they say he got them legally. and why not more forceful action. and the parents, i hate to come back, go up and visit the son if they were troubled. >> asked the police to do the wellness checks. we spoke to rod wheeler and he was explaining about the wellness checks. he was really scared. one of the reactions he had to would be of the police visits was, quote, if they had demanded to search my room. that would have ended anything. they would have found the guns and the manifesto. and questions this morning to

who took the manifesto and dropped it off for him at a local television station. >> as i understood it, that was one of the people on the pickup artist hate website that he was communicating with. they, i don't know, maybe it was a sadistic thing to do, maybe it was after the fact and someone was feeling guilty that they didn't notify the authorities. but i think it was done electronical electronically, i may be wrong about that. but suffice it to say, i don't think he had con spir a ors in this horrible mass murder, but i think there were enough red flags that, you know, it is easy in hindsight -- i put myself as the parent of five, many of them in -- in school and away. if i got that kind of alarming news, would i be calling the cops or flying myself to eyeball it myself? because the parent doesn't need a search warrant to look into their child's -- their child's

apartment. but i really think that in this case, you're so horrified, my god. these sorority girls, his room mates. how did he stab three of the room mates without one or the other coming to assistance. it's macabre, and there's violence and frustration. you don't where it goes after this. what's the bottom line? i don't know the lesson. it's difficult. >> disturbing to sort through this 140-page manifesto and wants to cause as much carnage as possible. and now switch topics, the trial of the century. 20 years since o.j. simpson went to trial and many believe got away with murder. your thoughts. >> i have no doubt that o.j. simps simpson, one of the most renowned football players of all time got away with double homicide that june day in brentwood, california. almost took nicole brown simpson's head off with his

knife. he butchered a 25-year-old there by chance. and the worst thing is, there was such an incredible mountain of evidence, and yet simpson's dream team, the legal team. that's why people are so bitter toward lawyers, they exploited the racial division. they understood that a black jury would be suspicion of the l.a.p.d. the simpson homicides were a couple years after the rodney king riots. they exploited that, and that's what my special will demonstrate conclusively. >> one clip, the frustration and bitterness that exists. here's furman, we all remember this. take a listen. >> are you bitter? >> i am bitter as the day is long. i had 20 years taken from me. and i thought for a long time,

okay, we'll get through this, i'll take my lumps, you know, i'll bear burden. and then people will move on. but here we are 20 years later. and i, you know, the the day i that will be the it won't be i anything about anything before that came before or after. >> accused of planting the evidence. his life really un -- simpson ironically in jail to the unrelated robbery in jail. >> what time is the special? >> 9:00 tonight.

your son will get his day in court. are you relieved or angry? >> bittersweet. angry that's 60 days out but relieved. andrew is relieved that he can finally tell the judge what happened that night when he accidentally entered mexico. >> we have seen u.s. military members coming forward and admitting that they made the same mistake. a little u-turn sign that is difficult to see. there it is. you missed that. you accidentally go across the border. you guys are gathering at the church. what did andrew tell you about wanting to go deeper into his faith and what will you do at the church? >> as soon as he started attending the church, we hit it off. he started attending our midweek service. he wanted to be baptized in july
