"the situation" lands himself in a situation with

the law. yeah, your jersey people, steve. yeah, mornings are still -- believe it or not -- better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends," the number-one morning cable news show in america. >> sure. lump me in with "the jersey shore" people. that show has been off the air for years. >> he basked in the glow of "the jersey shore" for years and now he wants to disassociate yourself. >> who lives in your town? the buttufucos? >> they moved out. they lived six blocks from me. you like most of the baldwins and jersey seinfeld? >> we can't control our neighbors. we're here with elisabeth today. we've got a lot to talk

about including a change in iraq. >> this morning president obama is going to make the case for sending special forces to iraq when he meets with leaders today. this is a magnificent change. originally he said no boots on the ground. now the thought of having them there seems to be entering his mind. he's going to apparently take a consensus. >> he's going to sit down with harry and with man is i and with john and with mitch as well. and what he's going to do is reportedly, according to major garrett at cbs, it isn't a pre-program thing. he's going to try to come to some sort of consensus which is going to be tough because nancy pelosi herself has said boots on the ground? absolutely not. now he's going to say we've got to do it because otherwise you can't order airstrikes with any effectiveness. >> security? that's one of the reasons. number two, find out firsthand what is going on other there. i guess we actually really is no one there. i was hoping it was a wink

and a nod we have no one there. we actually don't have any, which is astounding to me. i know presidents need a break, but the president had a couple of fund-raisers and played golf over the weekend. he had three fund-raisers yesterday and on wednesday gets around to a consensus meeting on a way forward in iraq. this should have been this weekend. this should have been friday. i'm sorry u.c. irvine, i cannot be your commencement speaker. this is an emergency. i'm sorry whoever i'm supposed to golf with out in the desert. i can't do it. i'm president. >> it was said al qaeda was on its heels and dealing with this from behind instead of aggressively in the front. >> he boxed himself in. he said no boots on the ground. now he's going to say okay, maybe boots on the ground. interestingly enough, hillary clinton weighed in on a myriad of topics. >> look at all those cities where isis is, where they traveled and where they're heading. today as we start our show, we understand they're going into a city where the refinery is over in baiji.

they have 75% of that city. a lot of people say how are they going to keep the economy going in that region long term? you have a refinery 75% and you have a way of revenue along with humvees and tanks. >> i've seen another tank where baghdad is surrounded on three sides by the isis forces. it is much more bleak. now it looks like they're going to act but how soon they are going to get there, don't know. >> bret baier and greta van susteren did a fantastic job to sit down with secretary clinton. she went through some things which may help the situation in iraq, one of them separated a bit from what the president has been saying. she actually said mall can i should not be -- maliki should not be in charge there. doing a bad job. here are her comments. >> are we losing all the gains in iraq as well? >> too soon to tell. i think if we can persuade or basically bargain with

al-maliki so he does what we've been trying to get him to do, with an inclusive government -- >> put us in bed with iran? >> i'm not in favor with any formal negotiations with or agreements with iran at this time. if there's going to be a real stand against these extremists who are worse than even being reported publicly in terms of what they're doing and how they behave, then there has to be a different government. and i don't think maliki is the person to lead iraq. >> the problem is he was elected. we did nothing as alawi got more votes, somebody we could do a deal with and then maliki went into iran and said al-sadr, why don't you come over here, bring your people and we can form a government. that is because we did nothing for nine months and the country was in deadlock. two years later we have this mess. the good news is the mostly

shia army we have armed and trained is beginning to so call man up. they are beginning to mount some type of defense around baghdad. at least they are going to stand up for themselves before they give away all the stuff we gave them. >> during the course of the interview there was some sort of, i believe, tone that kind of went over where perhaps looking at 2016 hillary clinton was backing away from some of the things obama has advised throughout the administration so far. she had the if i were president question tossed at her particularly as it relates to khattalah and what is going to happen here, as we look at benghazi and mistakes that were made she went back with really no answers. she didn't remember meeting with panetta. >> mr. khattalah is the fellow who it was announced yesterday the president finally gave the green light, let's go get the guy. that's him right there. he's apparently on the u.s.s. new york at this hour somewhere in the

mediterranean. he's going to be taken to washington, d.c. he's supposedly the ringleader of the benghazi thing. he also has been hiding in plain sight. how many reporters have actually gone out and talked to him? the reporters could have done a citizens arrest and we could have had this done two years ago. >> we were waiting for the go sign. we had this guy lined up. we practiced at fort bragg. they didn't get the go sign i believe until friday. >> that's right. the president gave the go on that and the delta force got in there showing courage and precision getting him after four americans were killed in benghazi. our spwar -- ambassador chris stevens one of them. so many questions swarmed around that and now there is an investigation into the lives that were lost. when you see this being being transported here and wondering is he going to get this trial, she said if i were president, i'd make the call to go get him and i'd give him a trial.

tell me what you think of this. >> if i were president and the f.b.i. and the justice department and our law enforcement came and said we're finally ready, mr. or madam president, to go and capture and detain this terrorist, and we have enough evidence to successfully prosecute him in our courts which have proven very successful at prosecuting terrorists, i would say i'm ready to give the order. >> i like the little madam president part right there. we should point out a lot of republicans say this is exactly the wrong way to do it. he shouldn't be taken to a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. he should be hauled down to gitmo could interrogate him and keep him. but a national security council spokesperson said since day one of the obama administration, not one additional person has been added to gitmo and we're not going to take anybody else down there right now. >> let's talk about the i.r.s. you're not going to believe this. as you know, lois lerner lost all her e-mail. her computer crashed. she tried banging it on the

side and restarting it up. >> right after she said i'm having technical difficulties. >> she can't say that out loud because she took the fifth. for two years we don't have e-mails. the good news is it is not just lois that lost her e-mails. six other high-ranking i.r.s. officials have had their e-mails disappear. what an insult that is to logic and our intelligence for the i.r.s. defense to be i lost my e-mails. it seems as though from cnn to ron fortier on the national journal, even they are beginning to say this is ridiculous. >> the i.r.s. either has the world's worst i.t. department -- it crashed and everything is gone, it is kind of a 2001 problem. that is not a 2011 problem. everything is backed up left and right. they either have the world's worst i.t. department or else there has been data destruction across the board which means if it's caught people will go to prison. darrell issa, who is going

to be on this program this morning, he is now subpoenaing her hard drive, her thumb drives, all the backups. look, under law, you're supposed to make copies of all your e-mails. where are those paper copies? are they in a file somewhere? >> they're in the hard drive. >> or have they been shredded? >> in a special cloud. we're not sure. the american people deserve to know if you are being targeted for your beliefs politically and being denied tax-exempt status based on that. that is an oppressive move if in fact it will be proven when these e-mails do show up. i believe they will. >> the house so far has gotten a little bit of revenge on the i.r.s. they cut their budget 15%. they say stop with all the wasting money. focus on your job at hand. so they got their budget cut. >> no money to target people. >> we are going to throw our change over right now to heather nauert. >> hi, elisabeth.

i'll take that change any day. the first legal induction took place last night since that one that happened a few months ago that was botched. last night georgia executes a georgia inmate after the supreme court refuses to block it. the court denied a last-minute appeal for marcus wellan convicted of the 1989 rape and murder of a teenager in atlanta. his death sentence was carried out by legal injection. one day after rare twin tornadoes ripping through nebraska, it has happened once again and take a look at this incredible new video coming in to fox. >> that is violent. yeah, very violent. holy cow! >> holy cow indeed. this tornado hitting about 45 miles north of pilger, nebraska. 75% of that town has now been demolished. look at those pictures. total devastation. the winds in that community reaching speeds of 200 miles per hour.

benghazi whistle-blower gregory hicks of the u.s. state department. good morning. they had known where he was. we interviewed him. everybody's interviewed him. >> right. you know what this reminds me of? you remember that movie "wag the dog" where right before the election the president is caught having an affair with a younger woman -- imagine that -- and in order to distract people he wages a phony war? well, this is the distraction. this is the wag the dog. you've got the d.a., you've got the i.r.s. but most importantly you have the benghazi special committee. i don't think it's any coincidence that around about the time the benghazi special committee was announced was when the president gave the okay for this to go ahead. this didn't just happen over the weekend. this was several weeks ago in the making. >> this would be after a string of long and bad news, this would be an easy win for the administration? >> it was in the bag. you know, he knew that his indulgence, add --

adulating, adoring press would go along with it. "the washington post" this morning calls it a major victory. it's not victory unless we know what kind of intelligence we got and unless there is a conviction. unfortunately, i'm having to say that because that's the posture that they have put us in. it surprised me, steve, that they put it, this case in the d.c. court. usually, as you well know, they go to northern virginia where the juries are a bit more reliable. but those d.c. juries, you never know how a d.c. jury is going to go because i practice there. they put them there and there's all kinds of procedural issues, like the brady rule. if you're a bank robber and they accused you of being in the bank robbing there and you say i wasn't there, you get to call all the witnesses that were in the

bank. >> victoria, it is curious why they're sending him there. meanwhile last night hillary was asked about her responsibility regarding benghazi and she said this. >> i took responsibility for being at the head of the state department at that time. that doesn't mean that i made every decision, because i obviously did not. and it also means that as a leader, i have a responsibility to try to figure out what happened and then to put into place changes that will prevent anything like that from happening again. >> and you write in the "wall street journal" today that she says she didn't make any real security decisions on benghazi, but that really is her job? >> well, by law, it is her job. there is a 1999 law that says that the secretary of state is required to make certain security decisions about certain embassies, not all 270 as she likes to say, but vulnerable embassies like benghazi.

the state department has a whole lot of security rules but two of them that are applicable here is that everybody is supposed to be housed in the same building and the building is supposed to have a 100-foot set-back from the public. so if it doesn't meet those requirements, the secretary of state personally by law has to make that decision and cannot delegate it to anyone else. and do you know why that law was passed, steve? the 1999, it was right after the 1998 bombings. >> during the administration of william jefferson clinton. who curious is that? -- how curious is that? it is all laid out in your "wall street journal" op-ed. victoria toensing, thank you very much. did you see this? >> winds are going to be with us. whoa. oh my gosh. this is live on air. >> a meteorologist rocked

>> an oklahoma city meteorologist proving the show must go on. >> winds are going to be with us. whoa! oh my gosh! i'm so sorry. this is live on air. that was way bigger than what we just saw earlier. that was well over 4.0 -- >> the 4.3 magnitude earthquake that struck live on earth was one of 20 quakes to hit the state in the past week. >> and there aren't even any major fault lines in the area. only small ones. so what's going on? let's talk to maria molina here to explain the phenomenon. i remember growing up in kansas, there would be random wild earthquakes, tiny little ones. but to have so many in oklahoma right now, what are some of the theories? >> there are several theories going around because no one really knows what's happening underground. no one knows why these earthquakes are happening. but the big concern out here in oklahoma is that there have been so many earthquakes recently and

scientists believe that when there are a lot of small earthquakes that could be a precursor to a very large one and potentially very damaging. so this is a very big concern. the first theory -- and this is the most liveliest one -- is waste water injections from fracking. it is not the actual fracking that could be potentially causing these earthquakes but scientists believes waste water injections could be creating some friction or loosening things underground and that could be creating tension and some of these earthquakes. >> the fracking people say that's not true. >> of course. they're not going to agree with it because they don't want that to be true. another big concern i have with that theory is that's just too simplified. that doesn't really explain a lot that's going on underground. it is a lot more complicated than just these injections. but the big concern why scie be true is the recent spike in earthquakes has correlated with the recent spike in fracking. >> they pump a lot of oil

from under the ground in oklahoma. but it can also be creating a void under there. that's my point. >> that's a good theory. >> you're getting your masters in climate change. the second theory is what? >> underground aquifers, underground lakes that are in place. it doesn't really have so much to do with climate change or anything like that but it's just the belief that water is very heavy. we know that. that's a fact. if a lot of heavy rain comes down and fills up these aquifers, the weight of water is great. that could be creating pressure under ground and potentially start creating some of these smaller earthquakes and then there's the last theory, this liberty lake, the small lake but a lot of earthquakes recently have been centered around it. so people are wondering if maybe the water levels of this lake and all the weight of the water could

be creating the earthquakes. again, nobody knows. >> have those water levels changed within the past week? >> they have been changing. that's one of the theories there. i guess my concern here with the whole water theory is this has been happening already and the earthquakes really weren't happening then. >> maybe there is a fault line they just don't know about. >> maybe. >> first detective will call you. >> thank you very much. coming up on this wednesday morning, dr. oz accused of lying about weight loss. wait until you hear his reaction after washington lawmakers question the doctor's credibility. >> and the crisis in iraq hitting your wallets. stuart varney here walking our direction, according to reports. it will hurt us at the pump, i believe. >> that is not the good news. the good news it is a birthday today. country music star blake shelton is 38 years old. i make a lot of purchases for my business.

happening in iraq. you're close to $4 in new york and illinois and other big-population states. you're already very close to half the country, half the population paying $4 a gallon and it's rising. >> keep in mind when president obama took office i believe it was $1.85 a gallon. >> that is correct. >> nothing has really happened. we haven't slowed down. the barrels haven't stopped. this is all projected impact. >> it's fear of what's going to happen in the future. you've got this oil refinery taken over by the jihaddists. you've got pressure on the iraqi oil fields coming from iran. that means you've got the expectation of a cutoff in supplies, so the expectation that prices will rise some more. so they do. that's what you've got. >> now the president announced, apparently, according to cbs, apparently, the president is thinking about boots on the ground maybe to help protect the oil refineries. >> june, prices ordinarily go down. >> prices go down but not

disproportionately harms blacks by pricing them out of the labor market. >> what do you mean by that? >> to the extent you make it more expensive to hire people, fewer people get hired. the minimum-wage laws are sold as an antipoverty measure but most poor people already make more than the minimum wage and most people who make the minimum wage aren't poor. people who are poor are poor because they don't have a job. not because the job they currently have pays too little. >> but in society people will say you know what? we need affirmative action because too many white people weren't hiring black people. we had to put things like that in there. >> the black unemployment rate and labor participation rate used to be much closer to whites before we started implementing things like minimum-wage laws. it's just not true. at a time when there was much more rampant racism in the world, the 30's, 40's and 50's, black unemployment and white unemployment was quite similar. today it is more than double among blacks. >> it's not unusual for an

employer to say i need a criminal background check. let's look into that. how does that not balance the playing field? >> when you limit the amount of information an employer can have about a prospective hire, the employer is forced to act based on generalities, paint with a very broad brush. if they know most blacks in their neighborhoods are committing most of the crimes and they can't check out a black applicant they are more likely not to hire any blacks at all. if you let them do the background check and find out if this particular black fits that profile they are more likely to hire the black. >> let's talk about the way we do in our society. a lot of people say jason is doing well and he doesn't understand what other african-americans are going through. have you come against racism in your life? >> sure. i think you'd be hard pressed to find a black who hasn't or a jewish person who hasn't experienced antisemitism. there are plenty of biases.

the question is whether these biases prevent economic or social advancement in america. i think it is not true that they do. i think the left uses racism as an all-purpose excuse for bad black behavior in essence. what i think blacks need to do is focus on themselves. only blacks can help blacks succeed. that's the point of the book. to the extent, again, the government interferes with the black self-development that needs to take place, that other groups have had to do in order for them to rise from poverty to prosperity, to the extent that gets interfered with it does more harm than good. >> you talk about soft on crime laws, how that has a boomerang effect. >> black on black crime is most crime. to the extent we have tough on crime laws, you are helping blacks. back in the 1990's we had 2,000 murders a year, 70% or 80% of them were black. a couple of years ago that within the down to 400. or the high 300. those are tens of thousands of black lives that were

saved because of tough on crime policies. now we have a mayor in new york who wants to roll back those policies. that's going to cost black lives. >> a fascinating book and take. jason riley writes about it. it's called "please stop helping us: how liberals make it harder for blacks to succeed." thank you so much. i know you're going to have fiery debates about your book. he's one of the teenagers accused of killing a college baseball player just for the fun of it. how did he just get out of his murder charges? our next guest got kim kardashian to look like this after her baby. this morning she's showing up. the moves we can take with us on vacation without kanye. ♪ ♪

it turns out no one wants to hear him. the voice coach could soon be out of a job. take that. having said all that, mornings are better with friends. >> this is blake shelton, i've been drinking and i'm watching "fox & friends." >> should be drinking. it's his birthday. >> 38 today. >> we usually tell these people what to say. did you tell him? >> would i prompt somebody? probably. >> now that i listen to so much country music, i always just debate how soon 'til they bring up drinking or going out to a club. >> do remember when he did the sounder for us, john won jovi said yeah they remind me of the today show, only they've been up drinking. >> it's like the today show, but they were out drinking the night before. >> thank you very much. >> again, the new jersey guy. always bringing up the jersey

guy. >> thank you very much for joining us. we've got a busy morning. we start with breaking news. >> that's right. president obama will make the case for sending special forces to iraq. he's going to meet with leaders today. he originally said, look, in the face of what's going on, no boots on the ground. we're not going to send any more troops in. now he's going to reassess and try to regain lost intelligence as they are now limited and can't force an air strike. >> aides are acknowledging the president this time will need political backing for anything of substance before he makes a move in iraq. evidently this is not going to be an information center where he tells congressional leaders what he wants. it's going to be a legitimate give and take where they're going to get a consensus for the first time in six years on anything. >> it will be refreshing if he actually does listen to janer and mitch mcconnell and nancy pelosi because nancy pelosi, just like the president said last week, no boots on the ground. that's when she has said.

that's what he has said. now he says boots on the ground. let's see what she says. he says, and the administration does, says they need boots on the ground to guide in the air strikes. the situation right now in the country of iraq is dire. baghdad, some reports are they're surroundhe bad guys. stuart varney was just telling us about how the refinery is 75% controlled by the sunnies. and the problem, many see, is maliki. he has not been inclusive. hillary clinton on this channel last night said number one, she's got a problem with maliki. and number two, when people are talking about dealing with iran, that's nuts. >> are we losing all the gains in iraq as well? >> too soon to tell. i think that if we can persuade

or basically bargain with maliki so he does what we've been trying to get him to do for the last several years, an inclusive government where sunnies feel they have a stake -- >> put us in bed with iran? >> i'm not in favor of any formal negotiations with or agreements with iran at this time. if there is going to be a real stand against these extremists who are worse than even being reported publicly in terms of what they're doing and how they behave, then there has to be a different government and i don't think maliki is the person to lead iraq. >> the iraqi ambassador to the u.s. says a decision has to be made. it should have been made yesterday. he's appealing for americans to help fight extremists. they're looking to make a stand now, reporting for duty. they're using our equipment, the one that hasn't been taken already. how unbelievable is it that you have the sunni extremists, islamic extremist, al-qaeda-like characters driving around in our

humvees using our ammunition and our weapons that we trained iraqis to use, but they dropped the uniforms and ran for their lives? so far we're looking at a president that's gone to four fund-raisers in four days, went golfing for one complete day and spent yesterday stopping traffic to go to three unnecessary fund-raisers so he can raise more money for an election he will never run in. >> right. not to mention in the past, saying things like this, talk being al-qaeda, doesn't make them kobe brian. it's been decimated, another quote. let there be no doubt, the tide of war is receding. all positions that the president has taken, brit hume with megyn kelly and he said this is a reflection of a failed presidency in policies. moving forward he doesn't see it changed. listen. >> i hate to say it because i'm an american. i want a robust recovery. i want add more peaceful world. we don't have it. he's failing. there is not much question about it. things i suppose could turn

around, but it's hard for me to imagine that the same policies, which he seems hesitant to change, are going to bring anything but similar results going forward. so i think we're looking at a failed presidency. >> you know what? when you look at the very latest polls that have come out, when you look at americans who are asked, is america on the right track or the wrong track, by a sizable majority, people feel like things aren't going the right way. so perhaps a lot of people do have the same sentiment as brit hume. >> there is over 60%. >> this just has not worked out so far. >> i'd love to talk about a decision, but he's not making a decision. meanwhile, there is more news to bring your way. fox news alert. captured and now coming to america. the alleged planner is captured during a secret raid. elizabeth prann is live in dc with the details on whether he's been read his miranda rights or not. >> reporter: we know special forces apprehended abu khattala and now the u.s. navy is

bringing him back to u.s. soil, although we don't know exactly when. reports are he is being interrogated along the way. >> united states has taken khattala to a secure location outside libya. he will be brought to the united states stand trial in a court of law. >> reporter: when he arrives, he will appear in court in washington. his captured sparked an ongoing debate. many republican leaders feel he should be sent to gitmo. senator marco rubio is one of them. feds a statement he should immediately be transferred to guantanamo bay for, quote, detention and interrogation. but administration officials say their policy is clear on this issue, there will not be a single person sent to that detention facility. the president instead is focusing on the message of his capture. >> it's important for us to send a message to the world that when americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice.

>> reporter: khattala faces three federal criminal charges, including killing a person during an attack on a federal facility, of course more charges could be added. elisabeth, steve, brian, back to you guys. >> we thank you very much. of course, some are wondering, the timing is so curious about the capture because we knew where he was for a couple of years. >> yep. >> why yesterday? >> why now? >> maybe they needed an easy win. meanwhile, we've got some breaking news from georgia. >> that's right. good morning. overnight, that state execute ago death row inmate, the first execution since that botched lethal injection that occurred nearly two months ago. the supreme court denying a last minute appeal for marcus we willen. he had raped and murdered a 15-year-old girl in atlanta in 1989. he was executed by lethal injection without any complications. radio legend casey kasem passed away this week, but the family feud is far from overment

the only suspect in the benghazi terrorist attack now finally in custody and on his way back to the u.s., many can't help but question the timing. what took so long? the media found this guy months ago. the "new york times," fox news and cnn. joining us with his reaction, former director of the c.i.a. and nsa, general michael hayden of the he's now with a global security risk management advisory firm. so first off, as a guy who used to run the c.i.a., why now issues do you think? >> well, apparently our forces were ready. i'm not privy to the specific

details. i hope it wasn't a political content decision. but we've got this guy and frankly, we just conducted a rendition. this was the movement of this person from country a probably to an american naval vessel without the participation, approval and maybe not even the knowledge of the libyan government. >> so you're saying that we did not ask the libyan government, unlike the day of the benghazi attacks when we were held at bay 'cause we couldn't get permission? >> well, in fact, there is less of a libyan government today than there was then. so i'm not surprised we did not make them privy to the operation. >> how valuable are these 24, 48 hours? >> well, i hope it's not 24, 48 hours. i hope it's as long as we need. look, i know we're not going to send him to guantanamo bay. that's a policy question. i may operationally think that would be a good idea, but it's not going to happen. but in a sense, that might be okay as long as we put distance

between when we captured him and when we give him full up miranda rights. look, this may betray my background, but as far as i'm concerned, this is all about the intelligence. what can we learn from this man? >> you'd like to see him go to gitmo? >> as a first order, i don't see a problem sending him there. but actually, i should be careful here. there may be a legal issue. on what grounds do we send him to gitmo? does he come under the definition of the enemy that we're still using in the authorization for the use of military force? those folks responsible for 9-11 and those who support them. that law, that thread is getting very, very thin now. it's a happy day, we got him. >> hopefully we have the right guy and we get the other guys 'cause it wasn't just one man. in 2008, you said al-qaeda was on the verge of a strategic defeat in iraq. here we are in 2014, can you say the same thing? >> oh, god no. in fact, the situation is

reversed. frankly, brian, i don't think i'd want to claim to undo my statement in 2008. i think it was true then. it's just not true now. lots of things have happened. we've left. we no longer had that powerful kind of terrorism arm there. we no longer have a shaping effect on the actions of al-maliki, the prime minister of iraq and probably most important, you got a raging terrorist sanctuary just west of iraq now in syria. all of that turned the trend line around there, unfortunately. >> how do we get iraq back? >> well, i think the first thing i'd suggest to you, brian, is quit talking about iraq. i don't think that country exists anymore. it's certainly not going to exist in the future. this is a fracturing of several states. iraq, syria and very likely and very unfortunately lebanon all created about 100 years ago. there are now three entities in iraq. kurdistan, which really does want to be a friend to the

united states and we should take advantage of that, a sunni stand that now straddles the old border between syria and iraq, then the remnants of the iraqi state, which i'll call shiastan. i think we need to operate under that principle because there is no way, i believe, that the central iraqi government is getting all that territory back. >> powerful statements. as a former c.i.a. director, if someone asks you to define our enemy, who is our enemy now? >> right now the enemy is isis, that terrorist group that's taken over that state i described for you. those are the ones who will cause harm to our friends and potentially eventually cause harm to the united states. so to a first order, that's the group we need to put a cap on. brian, not unlike the way we capped al-qaeda prime in the afghan-pakistan border area.

>> what would you like to see emerge from the president's meeting with his elected officials today? he wants to try to get a consensus on a way forward in iraq. what would be general hayden's way forward? >> marginal support to the maliki government. not to make it able to regain all that lost territory, but to stabilize the current line so that you mentioned, brian, that oil refinery, that's got to be within their control. so some modest help for them, but we can not turn into an enemy of the sunnies of iraq. secondly, i think we ought to get up close and personal with the kurds and frankly, take their offer to allow a long-term security presence there from which we can shape regional events and again, perhaps keep a cap on isis. >> general michael hayden, powerful statement. great analysis. thanks so much. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, the feds flying illegals from state to state and it's all on

taking or collecting from phones. >> they're sniffing. they're sort of sniffing it out. we're talk being blue tooth on your phone that's constantly on if we use ear pieces or in the car. we're not going to necessarily turn that off at will. so they're counting on the fact that now we have our phones with us when we go to the airport. so lockheed is the technology behind this new technology at the airport. you show up for security and it will notice your phone and it will see how quickly does elisabeth make it to the other side of security so that it can provide actually good service, which is how long will it take for the next person to wait at the airport? >> can you opt out of this? >> no. that's the problem. the only way out of it is to turn off your blue tooth or your phone. how would you even know they're doing this, except for they just announced it? but it's not as though you'll be aware of it at the airport. this is not dangerous right now. but what it does is open the door to something that's like hey, how much more are you going to sniff out of my life and point to something that tells

everybody where i am at every given moment? >> we can't control the nsa, but we can control our smart phones. one of the tips you've got is people should probably consider turning off some alerts. maybe, maybe not the weather alerts 'cause they're handy if there is a flash flood. but turn off your amber alerts because you really don't need to know about it at 2:00 o'clock in the morning. >> here is the instruction. this is so easy. you may not want to turn them all off. last two weekends ago in the middle of the morning, my phone goes blairs and it scares the heck out of me because i don't even know what it is. it's an amber alert for somebody 400 miles away. i can't do anything about that. i feel terrible for them. did i need to be woken up? no. go to settings. go to the notification center on the iphone and scroll down and you'll see when you scroll down on this list, there are two settings. under the heading of government alerts. under that you can turn off the amber alerts or the emergency

alerts. now, the way this works -- it sort of crept up because no one know where is this came from -- is the government now, through fema, is operating this. let's say we're the national weather service and there is a flood in your neighborhood. they go to fema, get the permission to send the message through and hopefully they're targeting your neighborhood and not mine where i may be up in the desert and it's not relevant, so i'm unnecessarily scared. so fact is, do you want all these government messages coming through? some people do. do you want an amber alert 400 miles away? i don't. i turned it off. >> you can also do some other things on the phone. know who is watching on social networks, right, and know where everyone knows where you are. >> you think you've given your permission when you're on facebook or twitter or the other social networks on who can see what on your phone or tablet. this is a free app called my permissions. you download it. it will look through your various social networks, from instagram to facebook. here on mine -- you did your

facebook. >> i just did it. there are 20 entities looking at my twitter. >> right. you have more than me. i have eight on facebook. some of these i've given permission to. i'm completely aware of. but you will be surprised how many are on there that you had no idea can actually access your facebook account and get into the information there. >> before you go, tell us about how we can turn off our location device so that people don't know where we're at. 'cause the phone is a blabber mouth. >> it is. every phone can do this. back to your settings. it's so simple to do this. your phone is broadcasting where you are all of the time. go to settings and underneath that there will be privacy and underneath privacy you will see locations. underneath locations scroll all the way through that and you'll see what has access to your phone. if you tonight's want them to have access, you can turn it right off. and at the very bottom you'll see special services. that is something every time your software updates on your

phone, they magically turn these things back on. >> you have to reset your settings. >> every time you update your phone, look and see how much of your privacy has been changed. >> i want open table to know where i'm at 'cause i need a place to eat. >> he's hungry. good to see you. >> thank you very much. >> we'll put all these on the web site. >> all right. coming up, is bubba getting the boot? why bill clinton could be getting kicked to the curb. >> that's why he's so sad. remember when adam levine tweeted this? dear fox news, don't play our music on your evil channel again. thank you. bad news for adam. turns out apparently nobody wants to hear him. why "the voice" coach could soon be out of a job.

new interview, hillary clinton said that the bible is the most influential book she's ever read. now, some people think she might be pandering to southern christian voters. then hillary said, come on, y'all, little old me? >> jimmy fallon last night -- by the way, my son and all his friends tried to get tickets, so you had to call the first of every month. he could not get through. >> you've got to be 18. >> i told him to lie about his

to get across the border illegally and they take them to the interior part of the country to blend in. here you have the federal government doing that and if they can afford to fly them to phoenix, you think they could afford to fly them back to central america, which is what they should be doing, returning them to the country of origin. >> summed it up pretty well. recent reports found in may alone, ice released 36,000 immigrants into communities for a whole bunch of reasons. four acrobats were injured when their human chandelier plunged 40 feet to the ground. they are now planning to sue ringling brothers & barnum & bailey circus. >> i believe and thank god that saved me, my friend's life is the same god that are going to give our victory. >> they are still in the hospital. look at that right there. they are still recovering from those crippling injuries. they talked about how this accident changed their lives.

e-mails of six other employees with ties to the scandal. how exactly does that happen? one lois lerner e-mail that wasn't deleted provides a theory. it says, quote, sometimes stuff just happens. california congressman darrell issa, chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee, just subpoenaed the agency's commissioner about those missing e-mails. good morning, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> sometimes things just happen. >> you know, i think back to the old black and white series with lucille ball when rickey ricardo would say, lucy, you got some splaining to do. the irs has some explaining to do. they're designed not to be lost. they're not loaded in any ordinary course on people's personal computers where people covered by the federal records act -- in other words, they're part of the national archive system, can simply delete or have a crash or their computer can be stolen.

they're located on servers that are either continuously backed up or backed up at least nightly. we believe these e-mails could be found unless, in fact, the irs and lois lerner have made sure they captain be found. -- can't be found. we expect forensics can find them. we've been told the i.g. has them. he's indicated what he has is the latest computer, not the disk drive that supposedly failed. >> did the commissioner make any mention of this in his original statements that these were lost in february? >> the commissioner knew or should have known that this had already occurred, that they were getting us data through other sources and failed to tell us month after month. it's contemptible and he's going to have some answering to do. but so are people up and down the irs. we're tired of in fact being misled or lied to. in this case the american people clearly were targeted for their belief and their free speech by

a president and an irs who disagreed with a supreme court decision known as citizens united. that's at the core of all this. the e-mails we have, elisabeth, show that in fact, these people were trying to overturn a supreme court decision and target conservative groups because they don't like what conservatives say. that's at the heart of this. if lois lerner is the kingpin, so be it. but if we can't see the connections in her e-mails fully, we won't know all the people that worked with her to target unfairly americans for what they believe, what they say and what they want to associate with. >> right. secretary clinton said yesterday right here on fox news that this should be a real investigation. we should keep this going. but let me ask you this. what if we don't get these e-mails? we don't hear from lois lerner, she's not talking. these e-mails, peculiarly are missing. we can't find them. what if we don't get them, what's next? >> lois lerner broke

regulations. lois lerner broke laws and lois lerner under oath testified she didn't. i consider that perjury. i expect that she will be criminally referred and if not under this attorney general who seems to have no stomach for friends of the president, under the next president, those charges will be brought. >> we want to thank you for being with us. >> thank you. coming up, a bitter legal fight over a teen's medical diagnosis coming to an end. dr. keith ablow on why this should be scaring every parent. but first on this day in 1981, the lockheed f 117 night hawk, the first stealth aircraft made its first flight. sally ride becomes the first woman in space. in 1974, captain and tenille had the number one song in america,

everything. >> while the family nightmare is over, their case should scare parents everywhere. joining us is dr. keith ablow. good morning. >> good morning. >> so this concerned you enough to highlight it for us. what's your main concern here that parents should be aware of? >> sure. my main concern having followed this case for some time, having theired time with the family is that this could happen to anyone. a little background, they brought their daughter to boston's children's hospital because the doctors at new england medical center who had diagnosed her with a physical condition said go there and get a consult. the boston children's doctor said no, this is all in her head. she's not really physically ill. she has psychological problems and you people are probably involved. and they kept her and wouldn't release her when her parents said we don't like that way of handling her case. we're going to take her back to the other doctors. >> in other words, they were simply looking for a second opinion and then as it turns out, the second opinion took

control. >> they weren't even looking for the second opinion. they were looking for a little consultation to help the dorks at new england -- the doctors at new england medical center. and what happens? not only can't they take their daughter home then, they keep her for 15 months in a locked psychiatric unit and then a group home and permanent custody was awarded to the commonwealth. >> how do they have the right to do that, just seems nonexistent. how do you keep a child away from their parents going through something like this and how do you say this doesn't affect her moving forward? >> well, of course it affects her moving forward. she was essentially taken hostage by an institution. when you have an activist set of doctors at a place like boston children's, which by the way, is tremendously activist also in the transgender arena where they tell parents to step aside and follow their children into those procedures, too. so this marginalizing of parents is alive at this boston children's hospital.

and there but for the grace of god go all of us. think of it, fibromyalgia, lyme disease, your kids could be taken, too. >> it's more than just them. >> she's going back to the custody of her parents. keith ablow -- >> where she should be. >> indeed. thank you very much. we'll see you next week. >> take care. the search is on for a missing firefighter who went into the woods to find his dog. what investigators just found. and it looks like the situation has a situation on his hands and i'm not talking about his abs. you have to hear this one 'cause we're going to tell it to you good job!

friends. >> bro? >> this is larry gatlin and you're watching "fox & friends" and if you ain't, why not? >> why not? >> all right. we have one hour left unless something happens. there is so much going on. hillary clinton's big interview on our channel. her book tour continues. and the president might be close to making a decision on iraq. >> that's right. big changes there about to happen. violence is raging in iraq as we know. take a listen. >> this new video of fierce fighting. the militants taking control of iraq's main oil refinery. today president obama will meet with congressional leaders to discuss what needs to be done to stop them. peter doocy live at the white house right now with the latest. good morning, peter. >> reporter: good morning. there is going to be an oval

office meeting this afternoon. president obama will host the top two republicans in congress, speaker bainer and minority leader mitch mcconnell, as well as the top two democrats, minority leader nancy pelosi and senator harry reid. the president's plan is reportedly to pitch these leaders on sending some u.s. special forces troops, about 100, into iraq. that would mean boots on the ground. something the president has said he does not want. but the latest reports this morning are that he thinks we might need a small number of american special forces to get up close and personal with insurgents to help identify targets if the president decides air strikes should be the next step. the president has already told congress that 275 american troops will deploy to iraq to protect american lives and interests and secure the embassy and iraq's prime minister went on tv and told the iraqi people that now that the shock of these militants muscling their way through the country and taking over cities has passed, the iraqi government is now staging

a counter offensive. so here in washington, we wait to see what kind of help they will get from the white house. back to you. >> peter doocy, north lap of the white house. mean whale, it sounds like on friday night, the white house green lighted the delta force to go in and get abu khattala. he was regarded as one of the ring leaders of what happened in benghazi on september 11 almost two years ago. >> although i was there, but i wasn't in charge. i witnessed it and i'd be willing to talk to american officials. not just being interrogated. that was a year and a half ago. >> that's right. it was yesterday that it was announced that we finally went in and got him. and to some, they said now isn't that curious timing? the same day that hillary clinton is showing up on fox news, they are able to announce we got the bad guy. well, as it turns out last night, hillary did sit down with bret baier and greta van susteren and answered a whole bunch of questions, including the administration mantra,

particularly on that first day, that it was all related to the video. and last night hillary clinton had this answer which was very, well, take a listen. >> my own assessment careened from the video had something to do with it, the video had nothing to do with it. it may have affected some people. it didn't affect other people. i think the conclusion to draw, because we were not just monitoring what was happening in benghazi once it began to unfold, but remember, we had a very dangerous assault on our embassy in cairo that same day, which was clearly linked to that video. so i was trying make sense of it. i think that the investigations that have been carried out basically conclude we can't say that everybody was influenced and we can't say everybody wasn't. but what the intelligence community said was spontaneous protests and that is what at the time they thought. >> mike burrell said no way. it didn't have anything to do with the video.

>> what she said is the video may have affected people -- some people then. but that was the day of and the day after. yet the administration continued to push that it was the video thing for weeks in advance of an election. >> to the american people. yes. they recovered e-mails saying the group was conducted by islamic extremists. so telling one set of individuals one thing and telling americans another. indicating you can have both stories going is one thing. but if you're only felling one side that it was a video and the other that it was actually terrorists, you've got some complicated issues to be dealing with then. >> the problem with benghazi, it's just a phony scandal. >> right. that's what segueways to something else called a phony scandal and that's the irs investigation where there is not a smidgen of corruption. that's what the president said. how does the former first lady and secretary of state, how does she view the irs situation where we find out now the lois lerner

lost all her e-mails and so did six other higher ups. >> so those e-mails are going to be important to discovery. we don't know were they set aside with intention, some of that may come up? we spoke with the chairman of the committee investigating this, congressman issa. he said he is going to look for them. if not, they're going to pursue criminal charges perhaps and hillary clinton herself said this investigation should go on. this is bipartisan. this doesn't affect just republicans. >> ron fornay was on "special report" last night and he said this is an insult to our intelligence and goes, this is all the makings of a cover-up. >> so while the president and the administration might say phony scandal, here is hillary clinton, real scandal, phony scandal. >> we don't have it. what she actually said is, i think any time the irs is involved for people it is a real

scandal. you mentioned darrell issa. he was talking about the not so phony scandal. here he is on congress being tired of being lied to. >> we're tired of in fact being misled or lied to. in this case the american people clearly were targeted for their belief and their free speech by a president and an irs who disagreed with a supreme court decision known as citizens united. that's at the core of all this. the e-mails we have, elisabeth, show that in fact, these people were trying to overturn a supreme court decision and target conservative groups because they don't like what conservatives say. >> it's the ramifications of what's going on right now. i think out of all the year and a half of irs investigation, maybe it's two, i think this is the biggest week. the fact that -- this has more people outraged by that ridiculous answer that computers

crashed. i saw everybody, i saw another channel, another one of the news channels also say it's laughable that they expect us to believe that. >> i've heard so many parallels between this and watergate, the main thing that's missing is the mainstream media are not covering it as they did back then. but if it is the deliberate destruction of data, people should go to jail. and why we're not hearing about this on all the other channels, it's flabber ghasting. >> this is about americans being crushed for having an opinion, wanting chain in their government on either side of the aisle and then perhaps as is alleged here, being forced out of the game before an election. >> steve, i'm going to build on what you just said, this is what john king said last night on cnn. he said do you believe in the easter bunny and santa claus? do you believe lois lerner's e-mails went poof? decent people are wake up. >> the lois lerner e-mail regarding the targeting of

conservatives. it's now just the other six people also involved in the targeting of conservatives. it looks like a scandal. none the less, there was a small victory yesterday, republicans in the house of representatives were able to exact about 15% of the request by the administration for the irs going forward. instead the republicans have said okay. we're going to give you the money to do your core duty. collecting taxes. but we're not going to give you enough to target anybody. >> no. no employee conferences, helping implement obamacare. 15% cut. a slap on the wrist. >> try to live on 10 billion. that's what they have left. heather, what's next? >> an update on the firefighter newsing in california since last friday. he disappeared while chasing his dog and camping. now turning up some brand-new clues i want to tell you about. crews in california have now discovered his backpack and they have found his foot prints near a creek.

the ansar al-shariah militia, benghazi native, he spent much of his life importantly in jail by gay da fee and frequently meets with u.s. journalists openly and told fox news that he was present at the attack. he's been taunting america for the last 21 months. >> he sure is. just got clearance from the president on friday. what's the what behind it? what are the charges that he's going to be facing? >> what are the charges? there are three charges that eric holder set out. he says there may be more. number one, killing kill in thee of an attack in a federal facility. two, providing support to terrorists result not guilty death. and three, using or carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, all of those together can bring him the death penalty. >> okay. the when. let's talk about when this trial will take place. >> the initial appearance will be in the district court not known. perhaps washington.

they say it's been successful. hillary clinton has said it's been successful. but a lot of republicans and independents are saying this is an enemy combatant. he should be tried as an enemy combatant and sent to guantanamo bay with other terrorists and there face his final end. >> one more what. what's your instinct on this type of trial that he will be facing? >> my 'n sync is that this is a -- i stink is that this is -- this is a slippery slope. i predict that over the next ten years if this is the way we go, we will try hundreds of terrorists in the united states, giving the miranda warning, giving them every constitutional right afforded in the american courts and it will lead to a situation that is absolutely untenable. a lot of americans are saying today, what's this about? military trial in guantanamo bay or if he's a battlefield combatant, kill him on the battlefield.

>> my thoughts exactly, sir. it takes 15, maybe 20 seconds to recite the pledge of allegiance. i don't think that time frame of something should be written on the order of business. we don't need that on the agenda. we give the opportunity to say it. it's not going to disrupt our business. >> what do you say to people watching, shaving or showering and saying, well, what's the big deal? just say it or don't say it. why does it matter so much to you? >> it matters a lot to me and not only to myself, but many americans and especially at the university of wyoming, especially how i was raised, to love my country and serve my country as i have. it's extremely important to me and i feel like it's a small gesture to them to let me recite the pledge of allegiance before the meeting and to give the opportunity for other senators who want to join to say the pledge. >> you're a guy of action. at 18, you joined iraq and afghanistan. you serve. you're now in the national guard and going to college. they should be very proud that you chose their school. army staff sergeant cory

good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> the word is apparently the white house is considering among the options for iraq were it's a desperate situation, to send in some special forces. i know in the past he had said no boots on the ground. this would be boots on the ground. what do you think? >> they're not combat troops. i think that's a big significant difference there. i think he's weighing air strikes versus this option. i do think what i've said all along and i think the president has come out to say this, they need a regional strategy with their allies to get the sunnies and shiites together against the extremists. maliki has totally blown the situation by failing to include the sunni tribes ever since we left in 2011. the president of the united states failed to negotiate a status of forces agreement which i believe has put us in this very situation that we're in today. we wouldn't have had that had he been able to negotiate that. looking forward to afghanistan, that will be very important.

but having said that, i think action does need to be taken. these extremists, as you have heard, they are very dangerous. al-qaeda itself has renounced them because they are so brutal and so vicious. and they are the biggest threat in my judgment, to the homeland as they operate out of iraq and syria. there is a vacuum created now that's being filled by al-qaeda and now you have iran looking to the south where the shia -- which potentially could be a power grab as well. >> the peril with us doing air strikes going forward is the fact that the bad guys over the last week or so have captured a couple of weapons depots. they've got stinger missiles. they've got humvees. they've got ak 47s. they've got all of our good weapons. >> they have all our stuff. they have half a billion dollars in cash infused into them. they're recruiting. you can imagine how that works for recruiting. they released the prisons that are all basically jihaddists,

bunch of news operations, including fox, have talked to him in open. why do you think they grabbed him now? >> well, first let me say this is very positive development in the benghazi case. i think as with any terrorist you capture, you can get great intelligence. i would say the intelligence gathering far outweighs a criminal prosecution. i would prefer to see him go to guantanamo bay. this war is not over and yet, we're seeing a reversion back to the clinton administration where we're treating terrorists as criminal defendants. the timing is interesting. the indictment, as i understand, was filed in july of last year. why it's taken almost two years to apprehend him when we had cnn interviewing him in a cafe. we had fox news interviewing him. we had the "new york times." he was really out in the open. i don't understand why it took so long to apprehend him. but that's one of those questions that remains unanswered to this point in time. >> to your point, the most

important thing is we finally got him. now he's going to have to face the music. congressman, chairman, thank you very much for joining us live today from washington. >> thank you, steve. it's a dozen minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead, don't just get a job, be the boss. we're checking out the five hottest franchises live right now. there is cheryl casone. first let's check in with martha mccallum with a preview of what happens on the channel in a little bit. >> good morning, steve. in the latest irs twist, now six more people have come under fire because their e-mails have suddenly disappeared, gotten lost in the shuffle. so is there a whole new crime potentially here? jason chaffetz will join us on that. khattala comes to the u.s. to stand trial. for now he's being interrogated on a ship. we'll see where that is going. a nine-year-old basketball player already recruited to college. she joins us in "america's newsroom." bill and i see you at the top of the hour.
