these days. is she going to write a book now? thanks to everyone who responded. don't forget to head to our facebook page to keep this conversation going because we're going to be chatting with you live in a few minutes. >> it went great yesterday. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is tuesday, june 24. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. a late-night hearing on the hill got heated for the chief of the i.r.s. >> i did not say i would provide you e-mails that disappeared. if you have a magical way for me to do that, i'd be happy to do that. >> my time has expired and i've lost my patience with you. >> don't the american people deserve some answers? >> yes, it's going to be good. on day two of john kerry's trip to baghdad, iraq's largest oil refinery falls to the hands of the terrorists. okay, what's the united states going to do now? that's coming up. >>lapd on high alert after

mexican soccer fans flood the sheets shooting off fireworks and destroying cars. and they won. we have the latest on fan demonium. "fox & friends" starts now and mornings are better with you. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> it is a great way to begin your day. and there is a real good chance you ended yesterday watching fox or watching what was going on on capitol hill in a rare late-night meeting. the head of the i.r.s. came to do some explaining. remember about a year ago the i.r.s. admitted we illegally targeted members of the tea party and conservatives. >> there was no fandemonium going on there. darrell issa said we need answers here. the e-mails belonging to lois lerner at the center

of this controversy, who was in charge of determining who was given tax-exempt status prior to an election season. this exchange here said, wait a minute, i asked you for e-mails. -- >> all of them. >> you say fine, i'll give you the e-mails. but now you're telling me you didn't mean all of them. >> you told us that all e-mails would be provided when you discovered that all e-mails would not be provided, you did not come back and inform us. is that correct? >> all the e-mails we have will be provided. i did not say i would provide you e-mails that disappeared. if you have a magical way for me to do that, i'd be happy to know about it. some of them, not all of them but some of them were not available. i never said i would provide you e-mails we didn't have. >> my time has expired and i've lost my patience with you. >> friday was ways and means. last night at 7:00 it was the oversight committee, darrell issa there. today will be back to ways and means led by chairman dave camp.

the theme is correct. john koskinen is dodging and moving, moving around like cassius clay in the late 1960's. he was not in charge when these e-mails were lost, i'll give you that. but he is there not to give answers, in my humble opinion. he is there to survive. he is there to make the republicans look like partisans for losing their patience. it is one of these things when you see the temperature rise in their heads and you say wait a second, were you not compelled to immediately call the f.b.i., alert the white house when you realized that lois lerner, the target of an investigation, who this body held in contempt, had two years of e-mails mostly lost in and a hard drive trashed. you didn't feel compelled? no. by the way, i don't remember who told me and i don't remember when i was told. wait a second, an ongoing investigation, you don't remember when and who and how you were told? this doesn't concern you for a man who claims to have a pristine record, a man of esteemed integrity?

it defies logic. >> right. listen to this exchange. >> this has been a major news story for the last 13 months and you don't remember who came up to you and said hey, boss, we lost lois lerner's e-mail? you don't remember anything about that situation? >> i remember being told in april. >> you don't remember who told you? >> i do not recall. >> something that has been on the front page, you would think it would be significant enough for you to remember how it happened, what the actual date was. >> remember, i'm running an agency with 90,000 people -- >> this has been the biggest issue for your agency in the last year. >> we're in the middle of filing season. >> in the middle of filing season. good excuse. he did blame obamacare. he said for the last couple of years it cost us hundreds of millions of dollars to implement obamacare. so blame obamacare. >> blame the equipment too. blame the commuters. i have news for you, my computer hasn't been swapped out in six years. nothing has crashed on my

computer. >> that sounds like an exchange i have with my four-year-old. give me all the markers because i don't want one writing on the wall. where's the green one that's on the wall? give me that. >> he's saying we had 2,000 computer crashes last year because congress has cut off the money. the money we do have, we have had to direct towards the implementation of the affordable care act. at one point jason chaffitz said you guys backed things up for six months. if lois lerner was so concerned about her hard drive crash and had everybody from i.t. coming over looking at it, and they said we can't fix it. that would have been the point you say to the i.t. people let's back it up from the the tape and they didn't. mr. koskinen was asked why. he said it was costly and

difficult. >> you have a backup tape and it costs too much to use it. think about that. just keep in mind and i know you know this, this agency is the agency that forgives nobody, demands receipts, demands accountability or else they fine you or jail you. from a small business to a large business to a personal business. they have no leeway there. but they're demanding leeway now. >> they don't lose you when it comes to finding information. they have a $1.8 billion budget as recorded for their technical department. >> i was sitting here and i asked you would there be any democrats that stood up and matched the outrage of jim jordan and jason chaffitz and darrell issa because the i.r.s. is a nonpartisan organization that could be targeting the other party the next time. you guys were kind of down on that prospect. >> which democrat stood up and said mr. koskinen, you are wrong? none. >> none.

>> you have the evidence that there is no e-mails from the white house. you have all the treasury e-mails. the basic premise that this was an argument and a conspiracy driven by the white house -- >> no, sir, you're wrong about that. you're repeating a talking point from our colleagues on the other side that we're obsessed with the white house. it was jay carney who perpetuated the myth that it was two rogue agents in ohio. it wasn't any of us. was that accurate? was that first initial line of defense that this is two rogue agents in ohio? was that accurate, commissioner? >> not that i know of. >> that wasn't accurate and that came from the white house. who said there is not a smidgeoon of corruption. who said that? >> my understanding it was the president. >> that is jay carney and the president inserting themselves into the i.r.s. scandal and you want to blame us for bringing the white house into it? >> i haven't blamed anyone. >> you just did, commissioner. you just did.

>> even the congressman from massachusetts i thought was fair. he said do you understand people are out raged? do you understand how this appears? at the very least, he could not suspend his consternation. >> saying if you don't believe you did anything wrong but perhaps something went wrong, you should have someone outside coming in and investigate. >> that's what i would do. if someone made me take over an organization and something like that, two years of e-mails crashed, i'd go don't screw up my reputation. i spent 30 years having a reputation. i'm going to call the f.b.i. it doesn't reflect on me. i want the answers. >> you're going to speak with someone who is a former employer of the son sonasoft company, in charge of archiving those e-mails. >> the person in charge of running the i.r.s., keep in mind he is a major democratic donor. he has donated over $100,000 to democrats and democratic groups through the years. it started back with, i believe, gary hart in

colorado and donated to every presidential campaign on the democrat side since 1980. he's even given money to hillary rodham clinton. so is he partisan? is he protecting the white house? we report, you decide. >> gary hart, by the way, did not win. >> there's some monkey business in that story. >> i don't understand. let's go to heather nauert. >> in the meantime, our 20-year-old interns are saying who is gary hart? news from overseas. john kerry spending his second day in iraq. he is meeting with the kurds and it is a fox news alert. he is hoping to gain some support to reform iraq's shiite led government. he says it is the only way to defeat the sunni insuj is i that is pushing the country in the direction of civil war. in the meantime isis continues to terrorize the region by killing iraqis. isis seized control of a major oil refinery. now it has led to gas

rationing. another fox news alert to bring you. terrorists striking once again in nigeria. the group boko haram reportedly abducted 60 more girls and women and 31 boys in the northeastern part of the country. four villagers were allegedly killed during the attack. the nigerian government has been widely criticized for its slow response to boko haram's abduction, remember that, 300 nigerian girls in april. the majority of those girls are still missing. spoim -- >> while you were sleeping, chaos in the streets of los angeles. rowdy fans of a soccer team seen rocking cars. hundreds blocked traffic setting off fireworks. they were celebrating -- they weren't angry -- celebrating mexico co's 3-1 world cup win over croatia. four people arrested there.

as if being the largest bankrupt city in america isn't bad enough, detroit's city water department now $175 million in debt because customers aren't paying their bills. they can't afford it. >> according to some activists, the best solution involves calling in the u.n. here to discuss is stuart varney himself. >> this is a deliberate attempt to shame america in a very anti-american forum. look, they're cutting off the water. that's not delivering a human right, water to the citizens of america. shame on you, america. that's what they're up to. >> why do they get to this point? it's only a $50 a month, isn't it? >> hold on a second. half of all the water

accounts in detroit are behind on their payments. that is half of 320,000. a lot of people. in april they shut off 44,000 accounts, just shut them off. in april they shut off some more. then the activist groups say you can't do that. you can't shut the water off. you're depriving people of a human right. we're taking you to the united nations. whereupon the detroit water department said we've got to have a new way of doing business here. we're bankrupt. >> why don't the people of detroit blame the democrats in charge of the city because they are the ones who okayed jacking up the prices? in the last ten years the price of water in detroit has doubled. >> yes it has. now the average bill is way above the national average bill for water. but guess what? after the detroit people turned off the water to all these thousands of homes, they found that many of them the very next day paid in full. so they're saying, look, you got into the habit of just not paying your bills. you've got to get out of that habit because we're bankrupt. pay up. >> we're not going to the local officials who end up

having responsibility for these prices here. they're going to the u.n. why? >> they want leverage. they're going to shame america. they're going to the u.n. because that is an anti-american organization. and the u.n. turns around and says that rich country, those americans, they don't allow their citizens free drimpging water. shame -- free drinking water. shame on them americans. this is an attempt to get leverage over the federal government so they'll bail out detroit. >> that is what hugo chavez was doing giving low-cost fuel to massachusetts and certain areas in order to embarrass our government. this blue-planet project, the one who is bringing to the u.n. -- >> they're canadian, by the way. and then they give an interview to al-jazeera saying we're trying to pressure the federal government to do something about this. >> really something. >> good story, isn't it? >> it is a great story. it is a sad story. i'm sure you're going to be talking about it later today over on varney and

your university would take on other iewrts. are -- take on other universities. league of legends rather. you would take on other schools with the right gamers. >> there is the collegiate star league. we would join that. those schools, about 103 universities across the u.s., those are generally played at a level. sometimes the university doesn't even recognize them at the club level. students on campus that are passionate about the game file paper work. we'll be joining that league and hopefully have a competitive advantage by offering scholarships to get the best players. >> i'm guessing, is there recruiting that would go on for this e-sport? you say to your kid if you work hard at hockey or chess, you can get a scholarship, you might get recruited, looked up by a college. will kids be recruited for gaming on-line? >> absolutely. recruiting is somewhat

easier, in fact. you don't have to watch on-line games to see their skill levels. there's a lot of metrics you can use. there is a score system within the game that ranks you up to a certain level. there's actually outside websites that sort of track your level and you can sort of put in your -- it's call thumbing your name. you can track the metrics by using your in-game name. >> what makes you think this is a sport? >> it's not a sport as far as traditional sport. it's an e-sport. there's not cardiovascular requirements to it but there's definitely mental acuity required. there's a lot of strategy. you're within a team, your specific role in the game is really technical. so you're working with that team to get, complete sort of your goal, which is to kill the other team. >> are there equal distribution for the scholarships from male to female players? >> absolutely.

it does tend to skew a little bit toward the male end. there are female gamers that contacted us. it's open to any and all. >> i want to thank you for ruining the lessons i talk to my kids about get off the video game. >> i think we gave ammunition to the other side a little bit. so i'm sorry about that. >> you've vindicated and liberated gamers. robert morris is up to $19,000 in scholarships. if you want to go and play video games, you still have to go to school; right? >> that's right. and study. >> this is very similar to chess, correct? >> absolutely. >> game on. >> game on is right. thank you. >> meanwhile, coming up straight ahead? >> a baby left alone on a car seat on the side of a road. who found it and how did it get there? >> he's proven himself a tough guy in the ring. wait until you hear what this heavyweight champ is

the i.r.s. canceled its longtime relationship with the smeal storage carrier -- with the e-mail storage carrier sonasoft weeks after lois lerner lois lerner's allegedly crashed. is there a chance those e-mails can actually be found? our next guest is a former employee of sonasoft, rick kaler, thanks for being with us. as i understand it, you were working with the company just before all of this happened and are no longer with them. i have a question here. with the recovery program that sonasoft would offer the i.r.s., can you imagine a scenario that all these e-mails could be lost? >> well, first of all, thanks for having me on. there are a number of

different ways which companies protect and store data. with respect to our relationship, sonasoft relationship with the i.r.s., we actually sold them disaster recovery software. we did not manage it. we didn't host it. it is an application we sold them like you would buy microsoft office to put on your p.c. what you do with the power point presentation is up to you. we did that with the i.r.s. we did it with a specific section of the i.r.s. it was a general counsel group, i believe was their term. it has about 3,000 to 3,500 lawyers that were on our software, and it was in two locations. san francisco office and the phoenix office. what that application did was to allow for a secondary server to mirror the information on the primary e-mail server. >> if for example, if lois lerner had an e-mail sent or received, if she has this software that you're

mentioning, this disaster recovery, backup recovery, which sonasoft sold and contracted with the i.r.s. to use, if she has the software, there would be how many copies of those e-mails backed up? >> well, yes, if -- first of all, if she were on that group's servers that we were involved with. and i don't know that she was or wasn't because we don't have any access to that information. we just sold them the application. with respect to whether or not the e-mail, if it were deleted from her, assuming she is on those servers, if she deleted an e-mail in this world, disaster recovery, the e-mail gets removed from the secondary server. that is primarily why we tried to get the i.r.s. to move to e-mail archiving. we were unsuccessful in getting them to do that in 2009, 2010. i don't know why. maybe it is budgetary reasons because at that time funds were a little short apparently. >> they have a $1.8 billion

budget in terms of tech as far as research. the concern here is do you think that these e-mails were lost? do you think we can find these e-mails? >> well, again, without knowing whether or not she was on the application that we provided, i really couldn't say. i do know, i heard yesterday that the c.e.o. for sonasoft is going to be on some fox network program, fox news, later on today, so he may have additional insight to provide. but i wouldn't have any idea about that. >> that gentleman will be with greta later this afternoon. we want to thank you, former vice president of sales at sonasoft answering a lot of our questions. more to come. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, forget protecting our border. agents are now tasked with baby-sitting as tens of thousands of illegal children flood into the united states.

we've got quick headlines. this selfy is literally out of this world. nasa's mars curiousity rover celebrating its first full martian year with this selfy. curiousity already making some

important finds, like an ancient river bed on mars. and is venus williams and tom bergiech like you never seen them before? the tennis stars bearing it all for an espn, the magazine's new body issue. williams said it didn't dawn on her until right when she walked on set that she'd have to do it without clothes. they're pert near naked. they're supposed to be protecting our dangerous. but now due to surge of illegal children entering the country, patrol agents are being used as baby-sitters. our next guest says it puts our national security at risk. here to explain, the vice president of the national border patrol council local 1929, stewart harris. first off, what makes this challenge different than any other challenge that you've seen? >> well, right now this is an influx we've never seen at this

level. we've seen small things like this before, but it's happening at a level we've never seen before and it's chaos. it really is chaos right now. >> 52,000 kids have come across our border this fiscal year. you're looking at some of the photos there. what are you asked to do with these kids? >> we really don't have any choice. we basically have to process these people and release them whether they're unaccompanied minors that have to be turned over to another facility, another organization, or whether they're coming with another parent. it's failed policy that's catching release and that's part of the problem. >> i understand the border patrol union is calling for an immediate turn around for all these kids coming across our borroweds, the only way to stop it. you agree? >> i do agree. >> all right. talking about these kids now, what are they saying when they come here? why are they coming now?

>> well, what our agents are telling me is when they're processing these people, they're telling the agents that they're coming now because they know that they're going to come here and get what they call their permit. they know they're not going to be detained. they know they're not going to go before a judge and they're essentially giving walking papers and told to, at some point, to show up for their court date, which most of these people are not. so they're here and meanwhile, we've got the drug cartels pushing people and things across the border that we don't know about because our agents are tied up with these processing people and feeding them and putting diapers on them. >> you also say because you're doing that and you're understaffed and not allowed to do overtime, you are woefully unprepared for this surge of children radios our border. >> yeah, that's correct. aside from the rio grande valley sector, our agents are being

pulled out of the field. our agents normally work a ten-hour workday, but now because of budget concern, our agents are being told to come in after eight hours, after nine hours, and that's a problem because we're starting to see what's happening in rio grande valley. we're starting to see that in el paso and in tucson. so something has to be done to fix this problem and it's got to be done now or we're in a lot of trouble here. >> we're talking about we have a congressman who wants to give each one of these kids a lawyer. >> well, at this point nothing really surprises me. >> it's just amazing that when we talk to people like you who work the border, you see a at that cass strovey, in washington -- catastrophe, and washington sees nothing but calmness. but this is a catastrophe. stewart harris, thank you for your time and hopefully people are listening. >> thank you for having me on.

lerner admitted that they illegally targeted conservatives and tea party members, then they started an investigation, then next thing you know, oh, we can't find two years worth of her e-mail where she could have been talking to who knows whom. >> and six others. >> and six other people in the irs also had mysterious hard drive crash. so all of their e-mail gone and they were never backed up despite the federal record that it's got to be backed up. so a little suspicious? yeah. >> leading to a lot of questions that americans should have in terms of why americans would be targeted for their political beliefs prior to an election season by a federal agency. trey gowdy had questions, but the commissioner didn't have answers. all he had was democratic talking points. >> you have the evidence that there is no e mails. you have all of the treasury e-mails. so the basic premise that this was an argument driven by the white house -- >> no, sir, you're wrong about that. you're repeating a talking point from our colleagues on the other

side that we're obsessed with the white house. it was jay carney who perpetuated the myth that it was two rogue agents in ohio. it wasn't any of us. was that accurate? was that first initial line of defense that this is just two rogue agents in ohio? was that accurate, commissioner? >> not that i know of. >> all right. so that wasn't accurate. and that came from the white house. who said there is not a smidgen of corruption? who said that, commissioner? >> my understanding is that was the president. >> it was the president. so that's jay carney and the president, both inserting themselves into the irs scandal. and you want to blame us for bringing the white house into it? >> i haven't blamed you at all. >> you just did, commissioner! you just did! >> kind of sounded like it. >> so you had him over there saying hey, i just took over lately. here is the major problem with him yesterday. he didn't seem to have any curiousity when he was informed these e-mails were out. he knew the ongoing investigation. he knew lois lerner took the fifth. he knew there was a lot of

curiousity. instead of saying wait a second, i'm taking this organization, i have this great reputation, i can't risk it for an organization that clearly went off the rails or questioning for, so instead of going to the i.g., instead of going to the f.b.i., instead of even calling up the white house or commenting to the ways and means, which was friday, or the oversight committee, which was yesterday, and the ways and means which is today, instead of going to them, he just kept his mouth shut and announced it to somebody he doesn't remember in april at some time that it seems as though perhaps that a lot of e-mails are missing. and by the way, what kind of i.t. department says oh, your e-mail crashed? let's take a look, let's throw it out. >> some accountability would have been nice to hear, saying even if he says i didn't do anything, to look at it with an objective eye and not blame, say, obamacare. he actually went in there, blamed obamacare, and republicans and congress for saying look, we didn't get money from republicans in congress. the agency that collects money

didn't get enough money from republicans in congress and obamacare is to blame. listen. >> we have a wide range of responsibilities. the i.t. budget has been cut by over $100 million over the last four years. this year's budget for 2014 required $300 million just for the implementation of the affordable care act. congress provided us zero. that meant that $300 million to implement a statutory mandate had to be taken from other i.t. programs. that's been our challenge for the last three or four years. >> and he was complaining as well, we could use ten, 20, $30 million to update. the reason we've got all these computers crashing is because we've got all this old equipment. we need 10 to $30 million. yet when you examine the records, actually the irs paid $90 million worth of bonuses to people at the irs doing a really good job. while people on the republican side were a little incredulous because in the march hearing, he promised he would bring out all

the e-mail, even though in february, he heard there was a problem with lois lerner e-mail, republicans had a problem with it. the democrats for the most part, they love that guy! >> the fact that you would be subjected tonight to the barrage of an innuendo and accusation backed up by nothing for the purpose of political theater is, to me, reckless and disgraceful. >> it's vile enough to look a man in the face and accuse him of perjury without submitting any evidence. >> i don't think i've seen a display of this kind of disrespect in all the time i've been here in congress and it's unfortunate that anybody would have to be subjected to it. >> badgering witnesses is inappropriate and shameful for this committee to conduct itself in that manner.

why you are serving our country at this point in time is beyond me. but thank you on behalf of all of us because you are a sterling example of what we do need in this country in government and that is someone who knows exactly what they're doing. >> what planet is she on? >> what they didn't mention was the fact that he through the years donated $100,000 of his own personal money to democrats running for president, including barak obama and hillary clinton. >> james jordan from ohio, and i thought congressman chaffetz, he brought up the fact there are back up tapes. there were back up tapes of these e-mails. when asked why didn't you go there, that's not what we usually do and it's costly. how much does it cost to listen to a tape? >> if you didn't listen to the tape that you had paid for -- keep in mind, lois lerner went to the i.t. people, fix it. and they go, it's broken, we can't fix it.

so rather than say, let's go to the tape, nothing. if you wanted the stuff off the computer, you'd go to the tape. that's curious. >> right. if you want the truth and you want people to know the truth, you wouldn't hide it. >> that's one of the reasons on a bipartisan basis a recent fox news poll showed the people across all the political demographics want the answer to what was the irs doing with these conservative groups. >> i did notice congressman lynch seemed to have real questions, out of massachusetts. he's also done a good job before. now it's time for heather nauert. >> good morning. from iraq this morning, a fox news alert. secretary of state john kerry is on his second day in iraq. he's meeting with the kurds in the north. james rosen is traveling with asked if the head of isis should be afraid. kerry refuse to go anti-question. this as the u.s. is push to go reform the shiite led government

our next guest says president obama tried to set up hillary clinton to take the fall in benghazi and say it's all part of a bitter rivalry between two of most's powerful political families. >> ed klein is the author of a

new book. i'm not surprised you're coming out with a book like this. i am surprised that it says "blood feud" because without bill clinton, and you could argue without hillary clinton, that you don't see -- does he not get elected. >> that's right. because obama. >> it's the worst feud ever. >> if you recall, obama in august of 2011 had the lowest approval rating of his presidency. and there was a big debate inside the white house about what he should do about it and david plouffe, who was his campaign manager in the white house, argued in favor of reaching out to bill clinton, whereas valerie jarrett, obama's friend, said no way. we don't want bill clinton around here. and he paid off big time at the democratic national convention. >> in the book, it says there is a reaction story that bill clinton has when hillary came to him and said that the president wanted to put out a different narrative than she initially -- >> it's that darn video!

>> yes. and this is what bill clinton said. that story won't hold up, bill said. i know, hillary said. i told the president that. it's an impossible story. they'll say i can't believe the president is claiming it wasn't terrorism. then again, maybe i can. it looks like obama isn't going to allow anyone to say that terrorism has occurred on his watch. >> right. >> that has stopped some people in their tracks. >> that's right. and for good reason. but bill also went on to say then to hillary, let's discuss the question of whether you should resign rather than go along with this cockamamey story which we know is not true. >> how? >> they decided she shouldn't resign because if she did, then the democratic party would never forgive him if she hurt obama's chances. >> now the story is out. >> now the story is out. we're waiting for the blowback from the clintons, which i'm sure is coming. >> how do you defend against

someone who says this isn't true? >> they always say it's not true. but people ask me, how do you get these sources to talk to you? there is a couple of answers. one is they like to boast about their connection to the people at high levels. number two, they want to get their story out. so this story about hillary and bill kind of sheds a little positive light on hillary that she knew it wasn't true, but then again, it also shows that she's ready to lie and lie to the families of the dead people in benghazi in order to protect the president. >> so your sources are impeccable. we were talking a little while ago, it's down to the level where you talked to the household help. >> i did. when the obamas went on vacation in martha's vineyard, later on i spoke to the household help that was there and they told me that the obamas had separate bedrooms, that the president smoked in bed, that he ate

murdoch bed. it's an amazing story. >> something that made news last week, we touched on it a little bit was about hillary clinton's health problems were worst than we had heard, that she had had a blood clot in her brain, but also there were heart valve problems that if people knew about it, it would disqualify her -- or people would give pause before they voted for her. let's talk about bill clinton's health. this is something nobody heard about. >> it's a very important issue because bill's doctors told him his heart condition is progressive, which by the way, brought a smile to bill's face because progressive could also mean liberal. but it was a progressive heart condition that's going to get worse and worse. he's discussed with hillary, according to people who were in the room with them when he did it, what would happen if he died? what should hillary do? what he said is, hillary, you should put on your widow's weeds, dress in black and it would be worth a couple million

votes. >> i can hear him saying that. >> when did the break happen between? >> i think it began in 2008 during the primaries when they called each other all kinds of names. bill was called a racist by the obamas and bill called obama a fairy tale. you remember that? they've never really gotten over that. >> it's crazy stuff. you say your sources are impeccable. >> i've never found a single thing in one of my books that was either sued or called into question. >> ed klein, thank you, sir. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. forget global warming. the u.s. has actually been cooling since the 1930s, but you wouldn't have known that because someone faked the numbers. the shocking new report ahead. and he got his dream job, nfl head coach, after 27 years as an assistant. then the nightmare sidelined

e-mails. the fact that three years ago some of them, not all of them, but some of them were not available, i never said i would provide you e-mails we didn't have. in fact, we are going to provide you 24 how e-mails from the -- >> my time is expired and i lost my patience with you. we now go to the ranking member. >> oh, boy. >> i never said i would provide the e-mails that i didn't i didn't have. let's deconstruct that. let's examine that. i said i was going to give you everything, except the ones that i didn't have. but i didn't tell you that i didn't have some of the e-mails, even though i knew for three months that i didn't have those e-mails. so why are you getting so mad at me? you ever been to the dmv counter and ask a question and then the person says to you, i don't know what you mean. i don't understand that question. what are you saying? that's the face of big government that we're seeing now. and he had the temerity, a yale law school graduate, a person who clerked for a federal

us, the american people putting up with this kind of nonsense. a guy hand picked by the president, major democratic contributor, allegedly coming in there with bonafide of nonpartisanship and excellence in terms of management and time and time again we heard this mantra, i don't know. no, i didn't do that. it shouldn't go to the f.b.i and then even making excuses for lois lerner that somehow she made efforts to retrieve these destroyed e-mails. big fail. big government, big fail. that was the face of it last night. let's see if we can do better today. another hearing today. >> indeed. they're also going to talk to the national archivist to see whether or not they broke the national records law by not keeping them. >> he says he understood that law. let's see whether they kept it or not. >> we'll find out. peter johnson, jr. keeping an eye on the courts in the capitol. >> thank you, sir. changing gears, want to keep your job? don't do this. >> what do you think of the internship so far? >> well, you know, i really

think it's no big deal that a woman who is under investigation and was found in contempt of congress lost two years worth of e-mails in the midst of an investigation. he wasn't alarmed. he held on to that secret for a couple of months. found out in april, in and around april, kind of at the beginning, kind of the end. doesn't remember how he did it. if anyone has a question, they really have a political agenda. that's what i walked away with after seeing that hearing last night. more on it today. >> to his credit, he didn't take the fifth, unlike lois lerner, who apparently has something so awful she can't say in public without incriminating herself. keep in mind, the congress was a little steamed at this fellow. he was called a liar last week up on capitol hill. but keep in mind, he was before congress back in march and said, i would provide all the e-mail. he knew a couple months earlier there was a problem with their e-mail. didn't have it all. that prompted this exchange with the chairman, darrell issa.

>> you told us that all e-mails would be provided when you discovered that all e-mails would not be provided, you did not come back and inform us. is that correct? >> all the e-mails we have will be provided. i did not say i would provide you e-mails that disappeared. if you have a magical way for me to do that, i'd be happy to know about it. some of them, not all of them, were not available. i never said i would provide you e-mails we didn't have. >> my time is expired and i lost my patience with you. >> so not only can they not apparently find these e-mails that were deleted or off the server or the computer crashed, not only did they decide to say it late to those investigating here and taking a look at it through this hearing here, they just -- this guy can't even remember -- the commissioner of the irs in charge of i'm sure having to remember a lot of detail, cannot remember when and who could have possibly told him that these e-mails disappeared. >> this has been a major news story for the last 13 months and you don't remember who came up to you and said, hey, boss, we

lost lois lerner's e-mails? you don't remember anything about that situation? >> i remember being told in april. >> you don't remember who told you? >> i do not recall who told me. >> something that's been on front page for -- you would think has been significant enough. >> remember, i'm running an agency with 90,000 people. >> this has been the biggest issue in fronts of your agency for the last year. >> we're in the middle of filing season. >> here we go. >> well. >> they were busy. >> the middle of filing season. keep in mind, it's about a year ago where lois lerner planted that question out in the audience and revealed that they had illegally targeted conservatives, members of the tea party and stuff like that. there has been the concern -- and it looks kind of shady. it looks like, to many, that the white house may have coordinated with the irs and a number of democrats also, cracked down on the democrats. that would explain why a lot of what the commissioner had to say sounded a lot like what the

white house and democrats were putting out. here once again is trey gowdy and the commissioner. >> you have the evidence that there is no e-mails from the white house. you have all of the treasury e-mails, so the basic premise that this was an actor driven by the white house -- >> no, sir. you're wrong about that. you're wrong about that. you're repeat ago talk point from our colleagues on the other side that we're obsessed with the white house. it was jay carney who perpetuated the myth that it was two rogue agents in ohio. it wasn't any of us. was that accurate? was that first initial line of defense that this is two rogue agents in ohio? was that accurate, commissioner? >> not that i know of. >> all right. so that wasn't accurate and that came from the white house. who said there is not a smidgen of corruption? who said that, commissioner? >> my understanding is that was the president. >> it was the president. so that's jay carney and the president, both inserting themselves into the irs scandal. and you want to blame us for bringing the white house into it? >> i haven't blamed you at all. >> you just did, commissioner.

you just did! >> prosecutor trey gowdy there. >> o'conner, was a counsel for the irs, now white house counsel, originally the white house said we're not making her available even though darrell issa said i need to speak to her. she's going to be available now. >> it's ports because she helped supervise the collection of the documents that the irs was providing to the congressional investigator. >> she has to start answering. >> she does. and the white house said no, she's not coming. then darrell issa subpoenaed her. next thing you know, she's coming. why does all this matter to you and democrats largely yesterday were apologetic to the commissioner, we're sorry you're getting dragged through this. it's those darned republicans. you know what? it's not the darn republicans. it's the darn people of the united states who care. how serious do you consider the irs scandal? 71% of all americans, not just republicans -- all americans say it is serious. 22% say it is not serious. and then the president said there is not a smidgen of corruption. do you believe that? 72% of you say no.

you do not believe the president of the united states. >> the investigation is not done. so it can't possibly be true. he has no idea if it's true. >> this would be a perfect time to have the special investigator. but last night the commissioner said we don't need that now because we're investigating it ourselves. he's the same guy who donated $100,000 to democrats through the years and keep in mind, the person at the department of justice, barbara boxerson, leading the investigation, she, too, gave thousands of dollars to barak obama. >> $5,000 did he give to barak obama in 2012. heather nauert is standing by. we have more headlines to bring you. >> good morning. we're following a story out of iraq. secretary of state john kerry is in his second day of visiting iraq, meeting with the kurds now as the u.s. is pushing to reform iraq's shiite-led government to help prevent a civil war. but just this morning, we are hearing that isis has taken control of iraq's main oil

refinery and that is now leading to gas rationing in that country. james rosen is traveling with the secretary of state and asked him how all of this has happened. listen to this. >> you saw fallujah falling and ramadi. what did you do to prevents mosul from falling? >> nobody expected wholesale desertion. wholesale betrayal in a sense by some leaders who literally either signed up with the guys who came in or walked away from their post and put on their civilian clothes. >> rosen also asked kerry if the head of isis should be afraid. kerry refusing to answer that question, saying he wouldn't discuss intelligence. just moments ago, rebecca brooks, the former editor of rupert murdoch's news at the world tabloid found not guilty of bribing officials in a phone hacking scandal. her deputy one time head of communications for prime minister david cameron was

secretary of state john kerry meeting with iraqi leaders overnight pledging u.s. support against isis foes. first he's stressing a new government must be formed in baghdad. is that even possible by july 1? what steps should the u.s. take to stop the escalation of violence? joining us is paul wolfowitz. ambassador, welcome. first off, your reaction to where iraq is right now? >> well, i think it's -- let me put it this way, we focus on iraq appropriately enough, it's where the worst things are happening right now. but what we're dealing with is a region wide phenomenon of al-qaeda and particularly al-qaeda in syria and iraq. i think the challenge is not to

stop the violence from escalating. the challenge is to defeat al-qaeda in syria and iraq first, but then also to stop the spread of taliban violence into pakistan, the growth of al-qaeda in libya, and we should be saying al-qaeda, when you say sunni and shiite to most americans, their eyes glaze over. if you say al-qaeda, people understand what we're talking about. and that's what these groups are. >> true. they've taken over the sunni area. has the al-qaeda affiliate isis. so i'm seeing like many that if you go and say you're protecting the government, tale becoming all shia government. so we're taking a side. correct? >> that's the challenge. we've had that challenge in other situations where we don't much care for the government, but the enemy is much worse. there are many examples of that in the history of u.s.-korean relations. somehow you have to manage to

take a strong position against al-qaeda in iraq and at the same time, a strong position against shia abuse of the sunnies. to be honest, i think at the moment when secretary kerry goes over there and lectures them on what they need to do with their government, an awful lot of people on both sides say, well, we don't take you seriously. i think the key right now -- and it's a very big challenge. we had a lot more options a year ago, two years ago, particularly before we agreed to pull out of iraq, we had many more options. our option today, none of them are good. but we got to do some things to show seriousness and that doesn't necessarily mean the use of military force. here is an example. the president announced that we're going to leave afghanistan in two years no matter what the condition of afghanistan is. it would make a big difference if he said, i've seen what's happened in iraq. i've seen what's happening in syria. i'm very concerned about the growth of al-qaeda. i am reconsidering this deadline

in afghanistan. >> yeah. we'll talkle that in a secretary. here is netanyahu. he looked at it from israel's perspective on what we should do. here is his take. >> what you're seeing in the middle east today in iraq and in syria is the historic hatred between radical shiites, in this case led by iran, and radical sunnies led by al-qaeda and isis and others. both of these camps are enemies of the united states and when your enemies are fighting each other, don't strengthen either one. we can both. >> you agree? >> the way we can both is by supporting the moderate sunnies and the moderate shia. hearing that statement an echo of we want both sides to lose. but there is a third side and, in fact, look at syria. there are three sides fighting in syria. two of them hate the united states, assad and isis. the only people that are actually fighting isis are the moderate syrians and they get

next to no help from the united states. >> ambassador, first off, right now al male -- there was just an election. nobody has a majority. do we tell him he's got to go? he's absolutely part of the problem. would you insist on it? >> you know, i think we don't do very well when we start picking leaders for other people, particularly coming out of a position where no one really trusts us. i think what we should be saying is there has got to be unity in the iraqi government one way or the other. maliki obviously is an obstacle to that unity, but let that speak for itself. our position should be everyone who wants to see a free iraq, free of al-qaeda should be working together and we should be criticizing people when they don't. >> right. ambassador, the other debate, you can not look at this debate and look at iraq, which is a mess. michael hayden says the iraq as we know it is over. another said iraq is done. as we look at this right now,

when people say, well, we shouldn't have went in to begin with and this is proof, what do you say? >> look, i think frankly i would say let's talk about what we do in the future. not what we did ten years ago or even what we did four years ago when we pulled out. but i think the fact is if saddam hussein were still in power today, even on the issue of wmd, the report that said he had no stockpiles correctly, also said he had plans to restart all those programs once the sanctions were lifted. it's hard for me to think of what it would be like today if saddam were there in power power suing nuclear weapons, putting down his own people. so look, the real point is we have a problem on our hands. it's an al-qaeda problem. this idea that iraq might split up into pieces, it's not a great thing, but i think the key to preventing that all along has not been to try to overcentralize government in baghdad. it has been to decentralize them. the more autonomy, the different

regions of iraq will have, the less people would feel that they're the victims of some majority that's taken power in baghdad. that's the big problem. >> power to the enclaves, i guess, and try to weed out the terrorists. it's a difficult situation. former deputy secretary paul wolfowitz, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. coming up straight ahead, a baby alone in a car seat on the side of the road. who found this kid and how in the world did she get there? then some of the funniest ladies on tv are back with more. >> i've never felt more beautiful and graceful. i feel like i'm walking on air. >> the stars of "hot in cleveland" live here. ♪ ♪

25 minutes before the top of the hour. irs chief john koskinen was in the hot seat on capitol hill last night, grilled over lois lerner's missing e-mails. he was in front of the committee on friday before that. >> but just ended up sticking to the white house's script, so is there any reason to think that we'll ever get to the truth about the irs? with us now is fox news contributor and author of the best seller for eight months running, "things that matter," a fantastic read, charges charles. >> i told you he was here. >> good morning to you. >> good morning. have you guys seen the sequel to the fung if you cat movie? >> the doberman swallows the cat whole. >> now you gave away the ending, so now no one will go. >> there was a lot of ducking and dodging as we tried to listen to a smidgen of truth to come forth in the hearings last night. what do you think -- there seems to be a smugness that they know

they're not going to get caught? >> you know, it's kind of the classical smugness, it's the arrogance you sort of expect from the irs, although it's still stunning after all the cover-up, all the stonewalling, that they would have this attitude. imagine you go in and tell the guy, well, i don't have any receipts. my hard drive crashed. then when they ask you questions, you say, i'm totally innocent, but on advice of my attorney action i take the fifth. you'll end up losing your house, car and cat. here it's not -- if it's not eaten by the dog first. that's what's so amazing about this. it's sort of the arrogance of the response. the least he could say is assuming he's innocent, in other words, assuming the loss of e-mail is innocent, which i don't assume and which i believe probably did not happen. there was no innocence here at all -- but even assuming that,

the least they could do is show some contrition because in the absence of the e-mails, it's going to be hard to get the information that you need. >> i would think so. here is the thing, can you imagine, too, on your same line of thought if i told the irs, my computer is a little old. i'm running a little short of money. so i couldn't really up it, therefore all my records are gone. how would that go over? >> i love nancy pelosi's response to all this. you know, this looks like a major -- from the very beginning, this is a major abuse of power, which we know from the fact that they targeted people on the basis of their political beliefs and their ideology. but the stonewalling with the information and all this is truly astonishing. nancy pelosi's answer was, well, they need new technology. typical liberal answer. corruption in the irs, throw more money at it. >> right. and in fact, last night there koskinen said that because those mean republicans cut back their money, they've had to demote

$300 million to the implementation of obamacare, that's why they've got the old computers from the 1950s. charles, i want to play a sound bite with you. it is the chief of the irs -- keep in mind, he's an attorney. he knows his way around a courtroom -- versus former prosecutor trey gowdy. they're talking about didn't know whether or not lois lerner is a crook, but he, mr. koskinen, is innocent. >> you don't have any idea, commissioner. you don't have any idea whether there is any criminal wrongdoing or not? >> with regard to the production of the evidence, the production of lois lerner e-mails, i have seen no evidence of wrongdoing. what else -- >> if that were, that would be a separate criminal offense. >> what else went on with highways likewise i said in the past -- >> what you're saying is you don't have any idea whether she engaged in criminal wrongdoing. you're just saying that you did not engage in any with respect to the e-mails? so you disagree with the president when he says there is not a smidgen of corruption?

>> there are people who have been making judgments both sides about whether there were -- >> you know what? i'm not one of those. i'm just saying we will never know because you didn't keep the evidence. >> he didn't report the evidence. >> when, for example, he was asked last week about the sudden revelation of the crashes of the six other computers, he said -- he was asked, why didn't you tell us? and his answer was, you didn't ask. as if this is some kind of game with a committee have to imagine every possible 10,000 stonewalling scenarios and ask a question about every one of them. this is clearly a committee that is familying to stonewall and counting on the fact that one, the press is not as interested as it would be if there were a republican in office. remember, article 2 of the impeachment of nixon had to do with the abuse of the irs. and remember also that in that case, the irs resisted. it did not go along with the

political higher ups and pursue political objectives. and so this is a major issue and it's clear that the irs and the administration are playing games in order to stonewall, slowwalk and conceal the evidence. >> is this commissioner doing the white house any political favors? keep in mind, we have learned that over the last 20 or 30 years, he's given over $100,000 to democrats running for president and other various offices. i haven't seen any evidence he's given any money to republicans. but he's a big democrat donor. >> look, he's doing a great political service to his party. he is a party hack. that's what he's doing. but you don't want to have that you would think in this country. the irs ought to be above party and above partisanship. clearly it wasn't in the actions it took against the tea party. and now it continues to be partisan and party line and not acting as a instrument of

national welfare because of the way it is stonewalling these investigations. i think the only way we're ever going to get the real truth, perhaps we will get it under the gowdy commission. i think he will be very careful and subpoena and do a lot of inquiry. but i think in the end, what you might need is a special prosecutor. with this president and this attorney general, you'll never see it. >> in your opinion, would you say that this administration would rather fall on the sword of a cover-up or targeting of americans by a federal agency? >> i think they believe, as they have with benghazi, as they have with every other scandal down the road, has been with the press less interested because they want to protect obama, the chances are if we simply stonewall, slowwalk, we make this thing go on forever, we then put somebody on special report, tommy vitor who said about the benghazi affair to

bret baier, dude, that was like two years ago. so when we're talking about all they're going to do is string it out and call it old news and they've escaped up until now. >> dude, we have a two minute break coming your way. stay right there. >> we're going to do two with dr. charles krauthammer. he'll break down another problem inside the white house. what to do about iraq. don't know if you noticed, but it is a big mess. and fresh off her huge win at the women's u.s. open, miles an hour wie is here to teach us how to putt just like her. i can't wait wondering what that is? that, my friends, is everything. and with the quicksilver card from capital one, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase. not just "everything at the hardware store." not "everything, until you hit your cash back limit." quicksilver can earn you unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you could possibly imagine.

fox news alert. we've been telling you about this, secretary of state john kerry is on his second day in iraq pushing to reform the government. this morning isis took control of iraq's main oil refinery. the army controlling 70% of the province, including all border crossings into syria and jordan as well. we're continuing now with charles krauthammer. we want to play a little sound bite for you regarding mr. kerry over there in iraq right now. james rosen asked him a little bit ago, so what's going on with iraq? is it an intel failure? is it a policy failure? is it both? here is what the secretary said. >> having done what we have done, the united states of

america, to build up several hundred thousand person armed force in iraq and having created the structure that was created but not being permitted by the iraqi government to keep personnel here as you know, as a result we don't have eyes on them. we didn't have eyes in there. that's absolutely correct. we just didn't. but the iraqis didn't even have the sense of what was happening. >> okay. so the country is on fire and he's blaming the iraqis. >> the iraqis, particularly the leadership, maliki, is largely to blame because he turned allies, these are the sunni tribes who joined us against al-qaeda in the surge and defeated al-qaeda. humiliated al-qaeda, and really decimated al-qaeda. what maliki did is he not only ignored them, he turned on them, persecuted them, he stopped paying, for example, the sons of iraq who were the tribesmen who joined us in the fighting.

when kerry says we weren't allowed to keep troops, this is a myth. obama decided in 2011 that he wanted to, quote, end the war as if when america leaves the field, art has ended. he's the one who offered such a terribly small contingent behind that he wasn't able to negotiate anagram. every one of the major parties in iraq wanted a substantial residual american force to continue to arm them, to train them, to mediate as petraeus had done successfully and obama decided no. and that is the root of this collapse. >> all right. things that matter is the name of your book. congratulations on all the success. we love when you get up for us. we truly appreciate it. >> a pleasure. >> thank you. fresh off her big win at the women's u.s. open, michelle wie is going to join us next. good morning to you. >> first let's check in with martha mccallum. she'll tell us what's on her show. >> hello there.
