and only president obama could make that parallel with a straight çface. the world is obviously safer since the end ofbecause there i threat of nuclear exchange. it isç more dangerous and unstable in the last five years of the presidencyç than it has been. when you look, the mistake we made by not loving a force behind in iraq which is the same thing we are about to do inç afghanistan. the black flags of al-qaeda fly over the city of fallujah where the bloodiest battle of the iraq war and we lost 96 marines and 600 wounded and the whole syria and base for al-qaeda. our director of national intelligence said they will be planning attacks on the united states of america. that is a direct result of
10:04 am
a policy. we are not weak, but we are unreliable. when the president of the united states made the statement if they crossed a red line and he established that redline and he made that choice, we would choose to attack assad and he didn't. that reverberated aroundç the globe. >> the president said something today that could potentially be an answer to why he believes we don't need2the military in afghanistan. that is an çannouncement that that is the planned intension. he said the u.s. military action captain be the primary çcompont of our çleadership. just because we have the best hammerç doesn't mean every problem isç -- >> all i can say he sets upç a false, dishonestç intellectu argument, those who disagree the military. to go out and sd

10:08 am
in america's history. >> can you put more legislation through congress to supply the rebels with what you say is needed to change the course there? or is that not a path you are interested in going down anymore? >> in a bill in the senate we provide training and equipment for the rebels. we need to do more than that. this president told lindsay graham and i in the office that he would change the momentum on the battlefield and then he decided not to attack syria which he said he was going to do if they crossed a line. america is not weak but america is unreliable. no one trusts us in the members of the jury midge or$çjapan, an all of these countries are looking atç the options withou american lead areship. >> finishing up unreliableness. q5ujqáary o a 90 dayç review of health car

calling on congress to pass legislation to give them a tool to know what it was collected. and ethig ramirez said the extent of data profiling that they know more about us than our family and friends and on line and political and religious affiliation and income and socio-economic status and more. fcc asked nine data brokers for the details and one of them sent over a statement. we shear the concerns about sensitive data which is why, the reason why a xion collects all data as sensitive and puts special mitigation in place to protect. it the executive director of electronic privacy center said with this practice, the consumers is not the customer,
10:34 am
the consumer is the product. >> or the victim. thank you, peter. controversial murder trial underway this week. a former university of north carolina football player headed to law school when he got into a fight with 30-year-old robert kingstop in a brawl. kington was killed. prosecutor said gab pushed king stop. and defense said it a tragic accident. we bring in the former prosecutor. and so pretty good lead in there and missed the crucial point here, is that ke, nan's girlfriendallies that this guy was messing with his girlfriend and now wife. >> this cuts against his defense.
10:35 am
i think he was angry that this guy was flirting with his wife and grabs him and throws him out of the bar. when you get in a fight, he hit his head on the curb and the fact a car came by and hit him. it is foreseeable someone will die. >> and surprise pie the way, i thought it would be 34r chiffarulous that he defended his woman's honor. >> in this situation, i recognize if you are in a fight and really hitting someone hard and mike tyson hitting a 160 pound man, there is a reasonable expectation of serious harm or death. in this case, we know that he escorted the man harassing his engaged fiance out of the bar, the question comes, n did he push him out in the street. no question he intended to push him in the car.
10:36 am
did he push or stumble in the street. >> we have one description from the defense saying he basically went through the door and pushed the guy out through the door. the bar's owner said they were tusz length and that is how the guy ended up in the street. and although the alleged murderer in this case looked surprised, he ran away after that. >> and first of all, flight is evident consciousness of guilt. we have facts as the government presents him and then the jury will decide if he fought and put him out in the car. >> just because someone runs away. that doesn't mean he is guilty. he's not on a first-degree murder. and there was no intent. each in the second-degree murder charge, that doesn't mean he was
10:37 am
guilty if he runs away. >> it is, too. >> but what a decent people do when a guy is hit by a car they stay there. >> time as passed since the crime. and again, the man on trial made it through law school. and he can't get his bar or test for it because of this crime case against him. and now he's married to this woman and seems to be you know, from all intents and purposes seems to be a good member of society. there is a verdict and we have a jury now. this is not a bench trial. and the jury will decide the facts. if there is a guilty verdict. >> and i don't think on the second-degree murder charge. i think there may be other issues and maybe coming up with a plea. and if he were found guilty on
10:38 am
second-degree murder. that would come in to play. >> and i will come to you first. and this is it a interesting case. we are mentioning that alcohol was a part of this case in north carolina. abuse of another substance is blamed for a car crash. and this substance is not considered an intoxicating compound like alcohol. it is it a cleaning product. in 2012, it was for deliberating using the vapors to get high. she did that while driving and we are showing the surveillance video of the car continuing to roll after she hit the family and she passed out. she pled guilty to reckless homicide and her lawyer kwaurgs that she is not eligible for serious charges because the
10:39 am
substance she was huffing is not illegal. that is a difference of prison five years or 14. and so what do you think about that. >> a argument is because it is cleaner it is not an illegal substance. but beer is a legal substance and intoxicating substance. and the issue is whether or not she was impaired and intoxicated. it is clever but i don't think it will g. it is a bench trial as opposed to a jury trial. the judge should rule whether or not under the statute it would be sufficient to prosout her. if the answer is no, no need to waste three days to have a trial. >> and we have done a few cases, using cough syrup. and that is not under the statute. and we would have to change the
10:40 am
statute to make what she did illegal. maybe it needs to be changed. >> this is a specific statutory argument that the lawyer is trying to put forth. the judge will probably lean toward this. and it may not be technically on the statute yet and it does not mean it is all inclusive and inhibiting way while driving and so that is all inclusive and what should be done in illinois and include the bath and cough syrup. >> and the law makers pass laws and they can do. that if you read the title 21 of the united states code, there is a long list of substances that are covered and they say intoxicating substance, the preassumption it was to be open
10:41 am
to interpretation. they chose not to list it. >> they have a toxicologist coming in and determine the level of toxity. and can someone on the stand then say i anyhow i was getting high, but no one warned me that i would be driving under the influence if i was using the cough syrushg p or bath salts. >> is that an argument? >> no. i understand the testimony she went to walmart or k-mart and began to inhail to get high. >> it is tough. >> it is presented at some point in terms of the knowledge. was she impaired and she plead guilty and we are not discussing. that we are discussing the sentence. that would be liability phase or what she did wrong. >> the little girl died. >> five-year-old dead and
10:42 am
woman's life is ruined. it is a terrible story. >> we'll see what happens with the judge in that case. jon? religion can have a major influence in presidential election. known 76 evafrjelicals helped to make jimmy carter president. why are they generally linked now to conservative. and iran demanding answers from mark zuckerberg after the website started to land people in jail? okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

10:48 am
& professor of darmouth college. the name of the book "redeemer" what did you mean by that. >> i wanted it to be "redeemer president". but in the accepts that i didn't meany carter came along after watergate and redeemed the country from the sins of watergate and a southern baptist sunday school teacher and promising the american people he would never knowingly lie to them. and redeemer in the second sense. after his presidency which was not successful by most measures, he redeemed himself in the eyes of the country and world through humanitarianests. >> he harnessed the votes of evafrjelicals, right? >> he did.
10:49 am
and part of the reason he was able to do so. there was a brief resurgence in the mid to known 70s and that harkens back to evangeliical. and they were working for equal rights for women and voting rights and very much in support of public education known as common schools at the time. as a way for those on the lower rung of society to improve themselves and aspire in the middle-class. it was a resurgence of progressive evangelecan and jimmy carter articulated many of those same thomes and agenda items. >> he articulated some of them as president. this is part of the speech in the national prayer break fast.
10:50 am
the words born again have a special meaning. we recommit our lives as humble children of god and makes us brother and sisters and family bound pie toys. he but the evangelicals came to abandon him and ultimately turn to help elect ronald reagan in 1980, did they not? >> they did. it's a fascinating story and one of the many paradoxes in jimmy carter's life. to be honest, that story is at the heart of the book and the story that i wanted to tell. >> well, it's a fascinating read. "redeemer" is the book. thanks for being with us, randall balmer. mark zuckerberg wanted in an iranian court. why tehran wants to haul the american billionaire before a judge. we'll explain.
10:51 am
10:54 am
right now, an iranian judge is trying to haul facebook ceo mark zuckerberg into court. jonathan hunt is live in the newsroom. jonathan? >> this appears to be another part of the ongoing struggle between the hardline judiciary in iran and the more modern instincts of president hassan rouhani. there seems to be a battle over whether facebook's mark
10:55 am
zuckerberg should be answering allegations that facebook owned apps like instagram and what's app violate individual's prooif di. one judge reportedly said today that was not the case. president rouhani himself was quoted last week as describing the cyberworld as an opportunity and asking, quote, why don't we trust our truth? the iranian president is a user of twitter. he said, quote, let people have peace of mind, stop interfering in their affairs, even with good suspensions and out of compassion. but a lot of hardliners believe social media and the internet in general spread a decadent western culture in iran. as for mr. zuckerberg, he's made no public comment on the alleged court summons.
10:56 am
but it seems highly unlikely he would visit an iranian courtroom. >> jonathan, thank you. moments from you, aaron hernandez is due in court, facing new charges that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. we'll tell you about that. plus, one couple going from rags to riches as their pot of gold hits the auction block.

wouldn't you like to find a pot of gold? >> why not? yeah. >> one of our most popular stories. the california couple after finding gold now gets the payoff. their buried treasure hits the auction block. they chose to amaremain anonymo after discovering a trove of about 1,400 rare coins while walking their dog on their property somewhere in northern california. one of the cains dated back to 1874 selling for about 15,000 bucks.
11:00 am
the whole collection expected to fetch at least $10 million when the remaining coins are sold. >> and do they have to pay taxes on that? >> they do. but it's free money, the government always gets its share. thanks for joining us. >> "the real story" with gretchen starts now. we start with a fox news alert on a major development breaking right now in the veterans affairs scandal. a report just released from the inspect her general investigating now confirming those allegations of neglect inside the v.a., confirming those. the report finding some 1,700 veterans at the phoenix clinic where this all began were kept on that so-called unofficial secret waiting list and that those patients were and still are at risk of being lost in the shuffle. the report says wait time schemes are department-wide and systemic. and that those schemes have been jeopardizing patient safety. and con
