8:01 am
always attempted to exert their influences on other branches but the president in my opinion has gone too far. >> this is purely political exercise that we have before us. jurisdiction of the rules committee includes this resolution and we will be the only committee to hold hearings and to mark up this resolution. that gives us a special responsibility weigh these issues carefully. the lawsuit is preposterous. it's a political exercise and if history is our guide we will have little chance of surviving in the courts. jon: chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with more on that. mike. >> reporter: jon, good morning. if you are convinced president obama has overstepped his authority, one option congress is taking him to court. so right now the house rules committee is meeting to authorize the house to sue president obama, making the case that postponing the employer
8:02 am
mandate of obamacare was in effect creating his own law which is beyond presidential power. the rules committee chairman insist this is is not a political issue and should not pit republicans against democrats. >> the testimony that we hear today will look deeply into the crux much our constitutional system and the rule of law. any person interested in our constitution and, what i believe is our brilliant system of separation of powers should be worried about what is currently happening in this country, and that is why we are here. >> reporter: the president joked the house is going so sue him for doing his job. he notes other presidents have used executive orders more than he has so far. republicans acknowledge he can do some executive actions but rewriting obamacare goes too far. a short time ago top house democrats blasted their gop colleagues. >> we do not need on that same day another republican lawsuit to advance their partisan aims.
8:03 am
we need solutions to protect the middle class's pocketbook. >> they have wasted taxpayers time and money with costly government shutdowns and frivolous lawsuits. it is time for a change. >> reporter: as part of the house rules committee hearing they're hearing from legal experts and their advice has been they should not sue with a laundry list of grievances against president obama. that is why house lawmakers are considering a targeted action going after his executive actions related to the health care law. jon? jon: mike emanuel. thank you. jenna: new investigation into the cdc finding even more dangerous safety lapses at its labs. the new probe coming after dozens of scientists were exposed to anthrax last month at a lab in atlanta. now we're learning about the mishandling of other diseases across the country. this has the cdc's director in the hot seat this morning on capitol hill. >> cdc had ample warnings and should have been focused on the
8:04 am
problems in their containment labs long before the june anthrax release. i just don't understand why they didn't heed those warnings. dr. freeden has indicated that he was as surprised as anybody bit scope of the problems. the fact, that, dr. frieden you were so surprised is a problem in of itself. jenna: steve centanni in washington with the very latest on this story. steve? >> reporter: serious problems at cdc the head of that agency saying he will impose a moratorium on shipment of all kind of substances like anthrax until they can get to the bottom of this. in an incident last month at the cdc lab that handles bioterrorism agents dozens of workers were potentially exposed to anthrax when samples were sent to another lab without being sterilized first. nobody got sick but it was very dangerous. there was internal investigation. then a usda investigation and now capitol hill, congress is looking into it. the chairman of the committee in today' hearing. listen. >> what we have here is a
8:05 am
pattern of reoccurring issues of complacency and a lax cult of safety. this is not sound science and this will not be tolerated. these practices put the health of the american public at risk. it is sloppy and it is unexcusable. >> reporter: now the cdc director was in the hot seat today and acknowledged there are serious problems he is trying to address. listen. >> what we're seeing is a pattern that we missed and the pattern is an insufficient culture of safety. we're now implementing every step we can to make sure that the problems are addressed comprehensively in order to protect our own workforce and strengthen the culture of safety and continue our work protecting americans. >> reporter: the cdc also discovered vials of smallpox in national institute of health facility outside of washington and in march, workers at a high security lab accidentally sent samples of the dangerous bird flu to outside facilities.
8:06 am
an incident went unreported to senior cdc officials for weeks. so that hearing underway on capitol hill to find out how all of this could have happened, jenna. jenna: sound like a good question to find the answer to. steve, thank you very much. jon? jon: we're learning more about where republicans plan to put their money in the battle for control of the u.s. senate. so far eight state senate races which national republicans are pouring in lots of bucks. alaska, arkansas, montana, colodo, iowa, west virginia, north carolina and louisiana. south dakota also seen as a potential pickup. karl rove, one of the top republican strategists in the country. the rove-backed american crossroads super pac is focused so far on six states. are they looking to expand the map? what are his predictions? let's ask the man himself, karl rove is with us, fox news contributor and former white house deputy chief of staff. amer of the big super pacs. you're spending money in which states? >> well right now we have placed
8:07 am
buys in six states. i think we've been spending money in seven. but, part of the what we're doing here is we're locking in time. for example our big except expenditure in fall after labor day is alaska, we had to do that to lock in time. we bought $5.1 million worth of tv advertising. in other states there is not as much competition with tv times so we'll place our buy as little bit later. jon: the, let's talk about, take a look at the "real clear politics" map of states that the gallup organization and "real clear politics" think might be potential republican pickups. >> yeah. jon: do you agree with that map? >> think about it this way. think about three, four, four three. there are three states, montana, south dakota, and west virginia, that were won by mitt romney where the democrat incumbent senator has retired. those three are likely to be republican pickups. the republicans lead in those three states in "real clear politics" average by double
8:08 am
digits. there are four states that are, were won by mitt romney, alaska, arkansas, louisiana and north carolina, where the democratic incumbent is running for re-election. those will all be dogfights right to the end. there are other states that were won by president obama, colorado, iowa. today there is a new poll out in iowa showing republican joanie earns is ahead of democrat. two other states, michigan and new hampshire, where the republicans are highly competitive. there are three states with very good republican candidates that could develop late, minnesota, virginia and oregon. we have 14 seats, democratic seats in play. at most we have two republican seats, kentucky and georgia. jon: what are your predictions? how many seats do you think republicans might pick up? >> i think too early to say. i think republicans very likely to take the montana, south dakota, west virginia treo. they're likely in the four red state with democrat incumbents and take them or four. something else good will happen in iowa, colorado, michigan or new hampshire or multiple
8:09 am
states. there could be a real surprise from last three. i think republicans likely are to end up with 51 or 52. but this is going to be a dog fight right to the end. democrats spent a lot of money. taken a page out of obama playbook and trying to irradiate republican candidates to disqualify them in voters mind by labor day. jon: a lot of it, much depend on the viability of the candidates. >> right. jon: you saw last time around that some republican candidates shot themselves in the foot and ended up not winning states that should have easily gone gop. is that going to happen this time around? >> i don't think so because the quality of republican candidates is really much better now. we have a couple of primaries left to go. alaska, kansas, tennessee. thus far republicans fielded superb candidates and candidates who were sort of todd aiken-like have fallen by the wayside. jon: we mentioned earlier you run crossroads gps, the super pac. article in the washington examine are says republicans are
8:10 am
falling behind in that kind of big dollar fund-raising. here's part of what david drucker, the author of that article says. he says, this election cycle two new challenges chilled gop super pac efforts to raise cash from wealthy individuals and corporate donors. anxiety they could get slapped with an irs audit and unease donate could lead to public demonization. demonization like harry reid is doing with the koch brothers virtually every day in the well of the senate. >> this worked well for them in 2012 when they picked out five donors to mitt romney and went out to demonize them this is becoming a standard tactic of the left. i sense it in my work with crossroads. i sense it from some donors they're worried about it, but most of them it is irritating them. you need to look, david i hope it is premature in this observation. one thing that the democrats do have is they have got harry reid out there beating people up for major gifts to their pacs.
8:11 am
mitch mccon them on other hand is preoccupied with his own re-election as he should be. democrats have super pac donors, come from wealthy personal industry trial lawyers or unions. they have significant amount of mom niched those sources are easy for democrats to tap and ready to generously contribute to their efforts. jon: if it is all true, if there is modicum of truth to the notion that people are afraid to give money to political cause because they are afraid to get audetted by the irs we have reach ad pretty good point. >> when you have the president go out in towson, maryland and depict republican supergroups and pac as enemies of democracy, this starts from top down. a lot of people heard these things, known what risk, nonetheless step forward to help because i care deeply about my country. jon: that will be an interesting battle this fall. karl rove. >> every single day of 111 days left in the election. jon: you will be a tired guy.
8:12 am
thank you. jenna: another big story we're watching today is of immigration. with the flood of illegal immigrant children coming across our border often unaccompanied there is reports out in los angeles, one agency is placing ads in local newspapers looking for foster families to take in the children and promising $6,000 a month or more in reimbursements for that service. the ad claims that in as little as 45 days you can become a certified foster care provider. that agency is now responding to those reports saying this. in relation to the amount of pay being mentioned, to clarify, a qualified foster parent is paid out differently based on state you live in. it's a state that typically sets total dollar amount per chide and dependent on the child's age that eligible and qualified foster parent can receive per month. we're merely following standards in the state of california. that is one headline out of california today as big question remains what exactly will happen to these women and children who

8:33 am
the statement began by saying "harris is living every parents nightmare. the child as she bore loved every moment of his life has died, and added dealing with her grief has become more difficult as the days go on on however in large part because of the constant speculation and innuendo in the media. she has not been charged in her son's death but the speculation as the lawyers called it has been fueled in part by police officers appearing to be surprised by the mother's reaction when told of cooper's death. listen. >> she didn't show any emotion with a notified her of cooper's death, she made a statement it was her worst nightmare. >> after being told he was to see is going to just to see her son or anything like that? >> no.

published of less than 100,000 people. some of the people may be comi coming. supervisor, tell the viewers little bit about how you first found out your town may be a town that is used to bring illegal immigrants to a place to be house? >> sunday afternoon i received several calls from local reporters asking what i knew about it. i had no knowledge of the attempt. i contacted the business owner in question, he definitely confirmed that past friday members of homeland security and the border patrol had toward the building with the attempt of using to house these individuals and looking to be able to turn the building around in 72 hours. the building is totally inappropriate. a portion of a much larger
8:36 am
facility. it is in the middle of easter business park, 550-acre park in rochester. it is not a build in the stands all by itself, it is surrounded by industrial buildings. walls about 40 feet high with windows at the top so when you are standing in the building you cannot see outside. two bathrooms, no kitchen facilities whatsoever. it certainly did not meet the requirements of housing as far as smoke detectors, safe exits and what you'd expect for bear people would be living. jon: what was the government looking to do? >> they wanted to bring hundreds of individuals and they would stay there until the government was able to locate their parents wherever they may reside return the children. a question that because any parent would send their child across the river and said see you later, you are on your own, i don't know how easy it would be to find the parents later on.
8:37 am
jenna: they asked what his next for some of these kids. did you make contact with them? >> they noticed they have contacted me. no live within our community, yet have not contacted me. residents sent me many e-mails. we know the immunizations of these individuals, what is their history, lot of valid concerns no answers to any questions. jenna: was poked with a vice mayor don doing with a very simr situation the potential this could happen. he was told it would be between 14-17 and all of them would be male. did you get any more information or to the business owner learn any more specifics of who it would be? >> not at all. the only contact is our local representative.

8:39 am
the best we can. jenna: the potential buildings don't seem to be looked at any more for this vessel mentioned, said the question of where else in the community they could be looking so we will check in with you, appreciate the time. thank you so much. >> thank you. jenna: a lot of concerns, just spoke to supervisor in new york. in dallas as a judge who wants the children here illegally to come to his county. prepared to bring them in and we will talk to him during the 1:00 p.m. hour of "happening now." jon: a subway derailment turns into a criminal investigation. investigators found the cause for this deadly crash. who could be facing charges. plus the internet turning into big brother? the major changes that could happen over the next decade and

8:45 am
into a tool of big brother? a new study says by 2025, 11 years from now, everything we read, watch and buy online will be controlled by the government and big business. 1400 experts find the main threat facing the web all the possible restrictions on what we do online. is it real? a cyber security our list, were you one of the 1400 experts they surveyed? >> i'm pretty sure that i read through the whole report in preparing for this, it is eerie how much what they thought i felt they were reading my mind because we have talked for years about this. i have a lot of the same concerns these folks do. jon: they will be controlling what we read and what we do on the internet, that is the conclusion.
8:46 am
>> by the scary things is imagine the regeneration of people growing up in china for example, never know about the square. can they remove information about the holocaust? there are serious issues around history and the ground troops that, an you allow people to control the thoughts and actions of people and effect converse with facebook and some of this e prevents they did online is kind of a slippery slope. that is when we get into controlling people. we eliminated subliminal advertising movies. people may not even know what is happening to them. jon: let's just do a quick summary, facebook did a little research project to see they could influence people's moods for sending out happy headlines to one group of users and negative headlines to the other bunch of users and apparently is kind. >> it did. some information wondering if
8:47 am
people wonder if they worked with the defense department on this, collaboration or collusion between the private sector, can we control the population, can we get people to act a certain way, do certain things. it will get to the point where our connectivity will be so ubiquitous we will not even know it is happening but we don't think about the power grid or the water supply, to become so commonplace that will forget about the privacy and implications that go with having our entire life online. jon: the government wouldn't need to read your mind or get a warrant to search your mail because they would know everything you are about just by filtering what you do on the internet. >> a lot of government agencies go through private companies to get information or otherwise prohibited from collecting so they get access this information so the role of data brokers and your privacy becomes extremely
8:48 am
key for how much the government knows about you how much can a project they will know about you to determine your actions. how will you respond. jon: is there a way we it had users can prevent this kind of thing from coming true? >> they used to be the definition of perfect security intelligence committee with a computer not correcte connectedd on. people have to make a decision of how connected w they want t be. you make a trade like to give up privacy for certain applications, certain conveniences, we have to be better about understanding what is the impact when i say okay and click to accept. people miss it has to be some bright minds that so you cannot do this as long as those lines are blurred, people will never really know exactly what is happening with their information and that is what is happening, you don't know something. jon: flea predictions of 1984 could be coming true.

8:54 am
>> that is right. that case in atlanta's getting a closer look but even if investigators determine the heroin overdose was an accident, prosecutors will use it to show they had a consciousness regard for human life, cannot say she did not think this would happen because it happened before and she knew very quickly using heroin could be deadly. press fears will to argue she should have called 911 when the 51-year-old google executive and father of five laid dying on his yacht last november after night of partying. they have onboard surveillance tapes that show mixing and injecting with heroin and then stepping over his body cleaning up the scene and fishing a glass of wine before closing the blinds and taking off. this is not a cut and dry case. this is a defensible to the victim on trial.
8:55 am
>> his lifestyle, his interaction with this person's prayer direction with prostitutes prostitutes and drugs because that is a huge part of this case. they will tear down this image of this father of five good husband and say he got exactly what he wanted, just went too far. he wanted an adventure, it was an adventure he never came back from. >> toxicology evidence will be critical in this case. she injected herself last night with the same batch of hair when and she walked away. the defense will want to look at the health and what else was in his system that may have led to the death. keep in mind alex is accused of also transporting drugs and tampering with evidence, serious charges that could send her away for a long time even if she beats the manslaughter charge. jenna: claudia, thank you. jon: a quick look at brand-new stories we're working to bring you in the next hour.
