grade. >> all right. and thanks dad. when was the prom? >> friday night. >> how did it go? >> perfect. >> did he come home? >> after the show show. >> we'll see you then bill: thank you everybody. fox news alert. hillary clinton said to address controversy surrounding her private email account as the firestorm grows over her time as secretary of state. so, what will she say? when will she say it? i'm bill hemmer. welcome here to "america's newsroom." >> i'm good. good to have you back. i'm martha mack. good morning, everybody. likely presidential candidate is expected to speak publicly from new york, quote, soon on this issue but chairman of the house select committee on benghazi, trey gowdy says all he wants to see from hillary clinton are months of missing e-mails his committee requested but never received. >> i have no interest in email

about bridesmaids dresses or wedding cakes. it is none of my business i don't want them. but public records is all of our business. that subset that deals with benghazi is particularly our committee's business. bill: peter doocy's business is reporting live from washington today. peter good morning. how soon is soon? >> reporter: could be just a few hours, bill. mrs. clinton already has an event on the schedule at the united nation this is afternoon where she is set to talk about women's empowerment. the clinton team is telling our fox colleague john roberts who asked when she will address the email controversy to keep an eye on her around the time of that speech at the u.n. bill. bill: so how are president obama's comments about this causing confusion today? what that's that all about fighter? >> reporter: about the president sending emails to president clinton. white house says he sent messages to private account. the president didn't know anything about the or potential

transparency or conspiracy problems. >> when did you first learn that hillary clinton used a email system outside the u.s. government for official business while she was secretary of state? >> at the same time everybody else learned it through news reports. >> reporter: news reports are also how the president says he learned about the va wait list scandal, irs targeting scandal fas and four yours and subpoena of phone records. lawmakers are zeroing in on clinton e-mails complaining big pieces of the puzzle are being withheld. >> there are gaps in terms of timing. gaps as much as two months. other gaps of several weeks. so yes, i can confirm that. these are gaps at pivotal times when you would expect there would be a great deal, a great deal of activity. >> reporter: there are big questions on capitol hill why some members of clinton's team were able to work at the sate

department, at the same time, in the private sector using accounts on clinton email system. republican senator chuck grassley is investigating. clinton's people is telling the ap they didn't do anything wrong. bill. bill: peter doocy leading coverage in washington. martha. martha: that begs the question how exactly will hillary clinton address this fishindeed that happens today in connection with this u.n. speech that she is going to give? will she fall back on the argument she and her husband made in the past, they are basically always under attack? remember this, from 1998. >> the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write bit and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. martha: remember that? that is long time ago. long time clinton supporter jim carville was on competing network and singing that same tune. we'll show what you car develop said in very heated moment yesterday. our panel will join us to talk

about all of that later in the show. what tone will hillary take when she talks about it? will it be conciliatory, in terms of yes should not have had this server way it was set up, wasn't exactly set up the way it shouldn't have been set up or and bring everything out or are we under attack. >> i will be curious to find out whether or not she takes questions. if that happens, you're never quite sure where it goes. when it happens we'll let you know. martha: opening door and wanting reporters to be there. john roberts was told he should be there at that u.n. meeting just in case she says something. we would expect she will take some questions if that is the backdrop. so we'll see. we'll see. fox news alert for you know as a group of 47 republican senators writes a warning in iran as negotiations continue with the white house over their nuclear program saying any finalized deal that is not signed off on congress could be wiped away with the mere stroke of a pen in the future. their letter, started out with this. quote, it has come to our

attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government you may not fully understand our constitutional system the letters that democrats fuming both on capitol hill and in the white house. kevin corke is live on the north lawn with this morning. the letter simply makes the point that no treaty will stand without the advice and consent of the u.s. senate. so the white house may use some different phraseology in this negotiation in order to perhaps get around that, right kevin? >> reporter: you're right on the money. to say they are steaming here is probably an understatement right? if you saw the press briefing yesterday, josh earnest the press secretary, very forceful in his condemnation of the letter and now even the vice president of the united states is weighing in. joe biden in this very strongly-written letter saying this about the 47 gop lawmakers who wrote to the islamic republic of iran. the letter sent march 9th by 47 republican senators to the islamic republic of iran expressly designed to undercut a

sitting president in the midst of sensitive international negotiations is beneath the dignity of an institution i revere. in that note he referenced the fact that he of course spent 36 years in the senate and that is about as strongly written as you will ever see from joe biden. martha? martha: it sure is. kevin gop law makes are not alone wanting pushback against the white house's drive to get this nuclear arms deal with iran. is there support amongst senate democrats as well? >> reporter: if you were to say broad support, the answer would be no, probably not. they admit on the hill, there are democrats listen we want to look at this as much as you do. we don't agree with the tactic you're taking. if you listen to gop lawmakers they say we will definitely be heard on this. >> we're certainly demanding to see details absolutely. you mentioned there was talk, this is unprecedented. what is unprecedented to have the president and secretary of state saying they're going to

negotiate a nuclear agreement. >> reporter: it may not be complicate prod this perspective, martha. they simply want to have their opportunity to be heard. on the other hand, the white house would argue that listen, while negotiations are ongoing, you should step back and let us complete the process. that is the crux of the disagreement here at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. martha: lots more to come on that today. kevin, thank you. >> reporter: you bet. bill: meanwhile overseas today iraqi forces now say they are making progress in the effort to capture the town of tikrit from isis. thick smoke seen billowing in the distance as iraqi forces take back a key village in their advance towards that town, saddam hussein's hometown. they could be claiming city within days they say of the isis fighters took corollas summer more than a decade after u.s. forces fought for and won tikrit during the iraq war. martha: there are new concerns that the nigerian terror group,

boko haram that they are gaining new power and resources. they are aligning themselves with isis. boko haram's leaders reportedly declared allegiance to the islamic state on social media in quite a long statement made by their leader. illinois congressman adam kinzinger says this shows we must up our game in his opinion with the fight against global islamic radicalism. >> when boko haram joined isis, guess what? boko haram has same target on their back as isis has in syria and iraq. i'm president has to show strong leadership. i'm not holding my breath for it. we have to be doing a lot more because this threat will continue to grow unless we do that. martha: experts say boko haram is teaming up with isis to help with their recruiting as well for a possible escape route in case military offensive afghan governments, chad and niger both watching those are successful. bill: fox news alert.

isis-affiliated terror group taking responsibility for a an attack in the country of egypt. a homicide bomber targeting police barracks in sinai peninsula. one dead, 24 injured. there has been islamist insurgency in that part of the country since the overthrow of president morsi going back to 2013. martha: indeed there has. meanwhile the president of egypt sat down in a ground-breaking discussion with our own bret baier talking about that very terror threat saying the tentacles of isis extend way beyond the middle east. >> we have to admit that terrorism is now a major threat, not only to egypt or even the immediate region but it's a threat to the stability and security of the whole world. martha: very courageous president of egypt who has spoken out in quite a bit in recent months. a fascinating interview. we'll show you more, what general he will sees sy, the the

of egypt has to say. chairman of house homeland security mike mccaul joins us next. that plus this. >> oh, my god! oh, my god! oh! oh! bill: that woman could only watch as that train slammed into a tractor-trailer. on the tracks injuring, dozens. terrifying moments caught on video. we'll let you know how that turned out. plus there is this. >> i'm bleeding here. i'm bleeding here. i'm bleeding here. >> get an ambulance. >> i need an ambulance fast. get me to the hospital. martha: the poor man. the u.s. ambassador brutally slashed by north korean sympathizer, speaking publicly. wait until you hear him now after that attack. >> i feel pretty darn good, all things considered. i mean, it was obviously a scary incident but, i'm walking talking, holding my baby.

you know, hugging my wife. so, i'm, i just feel really good.

martha: we have an update on the u.s. ambassador to south korea slashed in the face in seoul last week. cameras captured moments after that attack. we want to warn you the video is graphic. i'm pleading. >> i'm bleeding here. >> okay. >> i'm bleeding here. >> call the hospital get an ambulance. >> i need an ambulance fast. get me to the hospital.

martha: poor guy, what a shocking event. he was an attacked by an activist as walking through a building, at a breakfast meeting. the activist calling for unification of the koreas. lip period of times is out of the hospital after getting 80 stitches. he says the attack will not change what he calls the open and friendly approach to diplomacy which hopes to maintain. >> the bottom line, is that, this incident has only strengthened our love an affection for this country and our belief in the unbreakable bond that exists between the united states and the republic of korea. martha: stand-up guy. his alleged attacker facing attempted murder charges now. >> we have to admit that terrorism is now a major threat not only to egypt or even the immediate region but it is a threat to the stability and security of the whole world. we have also to admit it is not

only isis that is threatening iraq and syria but there are a lot of other similar terrorist organizations and by the way, they all work under the same umbrella. bill: that was egyptian president el-sisi in a fox news exclusive with bret baier warning about the growing threat posed by isis. this as we get reports that isis joining forces with a terrorist group in africa known as boko haram. texas chairman of the house homeland security committee, michael mccaul. >> good morning, bill. bill: he talked a lot about getting u.s. support. he is dealing with fanatics in his own country. what did you think his overall country about a sunni army on the ground comprised of multiple countries from the middle east and continued urging to get support on behalf of the u.s. government? >> i agree with the president of the egypt, not only with respect to the threat, isis now in 14

different countries with the pledge of allegiance of boko haram to isis that could establish a caliphate now in northern africa. we know they're all spread throughout northern africa. so i think the idea that he is talking about a united arab nations, makes a lot of sense to galvanize a sunni-arab support against isis in the region. but i think that has to be done under american leadership. i think that's what's lacking right now is the american leadership piece to this. bill: let me talk about the plan and leadership in a moment. but you mentioned the map here, okay? this is where boko haram basically operates in the western part of africa. you have affiliations between isis and boko haram that stretch all the way out to the philippines and indonesia. some congressman say, don't exaggerate this relationship. how do we understand or interpret what is happening now between the two? >> well they would say this in terms of connection between boko haram and directed attack on the united states. i would, to some extent i would

agree with that. the problem with that is expansion of isis into northern africa, i think does threaten long term the homeland with respect to external operations. let's not forget who these people are. they kidnapped 300 christian girls, held them hostage. they still are holding them hostage. their name, in of itself means western education is forbidden. they hit the u.n. headquarters in nigeria in 2011 and hit a catholic church killing 70, wounding 150. they're very capable of pulling off terrorist attacks. i think this latest pledge of allegiance to isis now is really expansion of isis now into northern africa. we're seeing more and more of these extremists, more al qaeda affiliates jumping over to isis because they're the game in town now. and that is, to me a real threat, not just to the region but long term to the homeland. bill: so if a fighter can not make his way or her way to syria or iraq, they could go to

nigeria? i mean now they have another outlet based on this relationship. you talked about a strategy and a plan. what is it now? >> i don't think there is one. i think it is a policy of containment. i think you have to cut the head of the snake off where it really exists. that is iraq and syria. until we get serious about dealing with the threat of isis in iraq and syria, this franchise movement, if you will, this global movement, international movement is going to continue until we get serious about getting at its core. we're not doing that right now and we're seeing strength of isis now multiply throughout the region in the middle east and africa. and i think unless we have american leadership, we're not going to stop it. bill: i get that. the commander-in-chief is partly responsible. so too is congress. what can you do to urge him to go forward with a plan? >> we've been very vocal. i think authorized use of military force this will come up. we want the president to have authorized use of military force

to destroy isis wherever they exist. and that would include in nigeria with boko haram now as latest affiliate and i'm concerned that what he proposed to congress is very restrictive timeline, ties the hands of the general as to get the -- generals to get the job done and so not the right approach. we want to see a operation that boldly empowers our military to defeat these guys. bill: mike mccaul, thank you for your time, from austin today. thank you. >> thanks. bill: martha? martha: we're seeing some chilling new video from the boston marathon bombing played in court during the trial of the surviving bombing suspects showing moment of devastation that changed lives of so many people. we're live as court gets back underway today. bill: martha police talking about that miracle rescue, a girl found in a trapped car submergeed in floating in icy

waters for hours. the call they say they heard had them rushing into action. >> when i got on the car the baby was submerged under water. i reached in. pulled her out of the water. i grabbed the baby out of the car seat, i could tell, i could tell there was some life in her. help northern china reduce its reliance on coal fire heating plants and prevent 60 million tons of co2 emissions? when emerson takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved. emerson.

anything like that is happening on our campus. >> i think obviously this has been going on for a while. clearly these people have something against african-americans. i personally feel scared. bill: the school's president says there must be zero tolerance for racism. the school is considering expelling some members seen. >> chilling new video that was played in court shows the tsarnaev brothers during the boston marathon bombings. we warn you this video is disturbing. you can see the men, there they are, white hats, walking through this crowd. tamerlan continues on while dzhokhar tsarnaev stops and drops a backpack, right near the youngest victim, and then it goes off. unbelievable. moments later that second bomb goes off further down the street. that is the spot where tsarnaev was standing, the younger tsarnaev was standing. look at dazed people trying to figure out what has just happened. as they run through the crowd.

molly line has been following all of the developments and that video takes right back to that awful, awful day molly. no doubt does the same for those in court. what is the latest from there today? >> reporter: we're expecting things to kick off with cross-examination of one of the fbi expert this is morning and really every day we're getting new video, new insight into the moments before and after those bombs that went off. one of the new pieces video we've gotten from a grocery store here in massachusetts. prosecutors say, about 20, 25 minutes after the bombs exploded at finish line, dzhokhar tsarnaev, the accused bomber went to a whole foods which is a grocery store chain here, bought milk and returned switched out milk for another jug. casually making his purchase, all caught on surveillance video in moments following the bombing. also presented to jurors a series of twitter messages fbi says two different accounts, both attached to dzhokhar tsarnaev. one a primary account, and one

email sent from that primary account read, ain't no love in the heart of the city. stay safe people. a message from the other account which was created weeks prior to the attack urged followers to listen to specific lectures from anwar al-awlaki, remember the al qaeda leader that was killed in a u.s. drone strike. also reportedly written by tsarnaev prior to the attack this message it is our responsibility my brothers and sisters to ask allah to ease hardships of the oppressed to give victory over the kufr. which is another word for unbelievers. martha: double life in two different twitter accounts. molly line, thank you very much. bill: hillary clinton set to address the email issue for the first time using a private email at a server at her home in new york. our political panel will weigh in to see what she says. >> oh, my god! owe my god!

oh!. martha: heart-stopping a that is the moment that an amtrak train slammed into a tractor-trailer. that woman watched the whole thing play out. quite incredible. people were hurt, dozens of them. witnesses describing the horror. >> oh. >> we see the lights bringing and the arms come down to the railroad tracks. you know, they were trying to move and just couldn't move and it collided. just a ram 1500 ecodiesel that gets the best fuel economy of any half-ton pickup. get more facts at ramtrucks.com

bill: breaking news overseas now. there is shock and sadness in the country of france. a nation in mourning. three national french sports stars, they were olympians, killed along with 10 people in total when two helicopters collided in midair. it happened during filming of reality show. greg palkot has more. how do we know what happened? >> reporter: it was a freak accident cost lives of three high-profile french sporting

figures. monk those killed in this helicopter, crash, 25-year-old swimmer camille mouffa won three olympic medals. including gold. 57-year-old long time sham european sailor. as you noted 10 people died earth two helicopters they were flying in crashed in argentina. they were filming a reality show putting well-known athletes in the middle of know where. the chopper burst into flames when it hit the ground. everybody was killed. two pilots of choppers were argentine. why they actually crashed into each other, that is being investigated, bill. bill: what is the reaction back in france? what are you hearing, greg? >> reporter: you can imagine just like in america, athletes in france are treated with the utmost respect. the french prime minister saying all of france is in mourning.

i have lived in that country. i can tell you i'm sure it is. swimmer muffat was high spirited young lady. she retired from competitive swimming because she wanted to devote more time to private life boxer was heartbroken, won bronze in his olympic boxes effort and was going for gold. as for the sailor, sailors are the top in regard to france. she was doved the fiance of the atlantic. attention paid to to reality shows in france. two years ago somebody died of a heart attack involved another one. bodies of three all those killed are being transported back to france. the eight french people, there is memorial planned for tomorrow. bill: what a tragedy. greg palkot on the story. thank you greg, from london. >> long-time clinton advisor james carville, strongly defending hillary clinton claiming the entire controversy over the personal email thing is

just another quote, right-wing conspiracy. >> it was legal. it wasn't against regulations. colin powell and jeb bush did the same thing but oh, my god. do you remember whitewater? do you remember file gate? do you remember travel-gate. pardon-gate. you remember benghazi. all this is the same cockamamie stuff. "times" get something from right-wing walking points. they have print the story. have to walk it back. the story is not right but says something larger about the clintons. this is never going to end. we lived with this for 20 years. we'll live it with for the rest of the campaign. it is all about nothing. >> hmmm. penny lee cork r worked as communications advise for senate minority leader harry ride. rich lowery, "national review" and fox news contributor. penny, let me start with you. is that line of defense going to

work? >> good news is that mrs. clinton said she will answer the questions directly. there is no better person than mrs. clinton to be able to address what all this hullabaloo is about and we will know. i personally don't believe she has violate ad law. there has been different rules in '09, in '14. we've all been examined. there has been a lot of speculation. i think it is important for her. i think it is great she is finally coming out and addressing these directly and there is no other person to answer the questions. martha: let me ask you another question, penny. do you think when she does speak, and there is strong suggestion it is going to be today related to the u.n. appearance she is making, do you think she should take questions open it up and take questions? >> sure, absolutely. look, you know, she has, there is reasons for why she pursued what she did and systems in which she set up. answer those questions. answer them directly because unfortunately james carville does have a point. without some of the answers

coming out there will be continuing banter not that at this press conference or that this press statement will stop it because republicans almost have like obsession. we have seen that over the past 20 years whether it be a whole array of things that have come forth. so this, one, you know is interesting. it is different and one which she will be addressing. she will be addressing from what we understand today in a forthright manner. >> all right. this story came from the "new york times," rich, and you know, james carville make as reference to them picking up some right-wing talking points. i don't know "the new york times" does that very often. what do you think? >> that is not "the new york times" i know and get on my doorstep every morning. look this is just classic clinton defense. it is like hearing a pearl jam or nirvana song. takes you right back to the 1990s. this was the mo you attack accusers. you say it was old news. say it wasn't technically illegal. say everyone does it. that encapsulates the clinton

defense we've heard so often. carville is right some of these scandals in the '90s were nothing. some were a really big deal. i think any reasonable person can look at the system she set up and conclude the only reason for her setting it up was to keep those emails from the public eye and sure enough, there are all these foia requests over the years from left-wing news outlets, from conservative groups, that went completely unanswered from the state department because she had her own private email account on her own server. that clearly was the purpose of this. martha: i mean, we'll see what she has to say about it today. i think that the tone that she takes in her comments about all of this will be, has to be very carefully decided upon because if she does come out and do what james carville just did you know i think there might be people out there, penny you know what, do we really need to deal with this anymore? hearing reasons and right-wing

conspiracy stuff, whether or not that will work for her with a new audience of voters, penny? >> let's let mrs. clinton speak. for right now all we're going going to do is speculate. what could a tone be what should a tone be, what a tone might be. let police clinton speak. let us let her have the opportunity to make that. >> i do think that is very important point carville inadvertently what will be one of the main anti-hillary themes, which this is a woman who has been in our faces for decades now who represents yesterday in political terms and there is time for something fresh and new. martha: interesting points from you both. get your thoughts on one other quick thing and that is the bob menendez situation. senator menendez is ranking senior democrat on the foreign service committee. he is being investigated for a relationship with a doctor in florida and whether or not i helped that doctor to currie some -- curry some favor with

some controversy he was confronting. a lot of people penny, are wondering if this statement by bob menendez got him sort of renewed attention from an investigation that had been kick around for a bit. here he is. >> the more i hear from the administration and its quotes the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of tehran and it feeds to the iranian narrative of victim ization when they are the ones with original sin. martha: hmmm. very strong statement from senator menendez. i understand that senator reid was also questioned in terms of what if anything he knew about this situation, penny. i know you used to work for senator reid. any comments on that? >> no, i am not privy to the conversations that senator reid engaged with the investigators, nor am i privy to what the department of justice has as their evidence. nor am i privy to the

information of what the timing would be nor is anybody. senator menendez has not made his position on iran silent. he has been a fervor, fervently advocate for the change in the policy or change in the direction against many of what the administration is doing. he has made that known in public. he made that known in private conversations. so i would say this whole, you know, conspiracy theory because he said one quote or, it was curious of the timing i think that the department of justice isn't looking to parse and move on one statement but it is no doubt that this has been ongoing investigation, the investigation has been on going. martha: yes. >> senator menendez's position has not waivered and up front and public. martha: quickly before we have to go, rich, obviously as we've seen in case after case the department of justice is very selective about what they pursue. they have limited time and resources and there is a lot out there. they're choosing to pick this up. >> well the timing of the leak of these supposedly imminent

charges is highly suspicious given how vocal the senator has been. i admire his forthrightness and his leadership on the iranian issue and on human rights and foreign policy generally but unfortunately not that unusual for a major new jersey politician to have an ethical cloud around his head. unfortunately his relationship with this doctor, be frank, it really stinks to high heaven. martha: as a new jersey ann i don't think he matters what state he is from, rich. >> i apologize to all the citizens of new jersey. bill: no offense to pearl jam. can't find a better man. barreling into a to booth. how all this ends right here. oh next. >> senate republicans sent a letter directly to the ayatollah khamenei in iran with a warning about their nuclear program. was sending that letter out of bounds or was it fair? ambassador bolton, we're

interested to see what his take is on this story. he is coming up. >> they need to understand that under our constitution, congress plays a very important role of approving international agreements. any deal not approved by the congress won't be accepted by the congress now or in the future. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters? not just someone.

someone from angie's list. but we're not members. we don't have to be to use their new snapfix feature. angie's list helped me find a highly rated service provider to do the work at a fair price. come see what the new angie's list can do for you.

martha: we're getting confirmation that hillary clinton is expected to address the issue of her email and perhaps more details about the server at her home today in conjunction with a appearance that she is making at the united nations. so that is confirmed. today is the day she will speak out on this email issue. we'll give you more details as we get them. bill: there are 47 republican senator who is have written a letter to the leaders of iran. they warn any nuclear deal without congressional approval could easily be done. freshman arkansas senator tom cotton led the effort to write that letter and explains why

right here. >> many iran experts say that iran's leaders don't understand our constitution. so they need to understand that under our constitution congress plays a very important role of approving international agreements and any deal that is not approved by the congress won't be accepted by the congress now or in the future. we don't know what the final terms of the deal are but we know so far that susan rice, the president's national security advisor, already conceded that iran will have a robust uranium enrichment capability. bill: john bolton former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., fox news contributor live from san francisco today. good morning to you. part after letter cotton helped draft goes like this. the next president could revoke such an agreement with the stroke of a pen and future congresses could modify terms of the agreement at anytime. was this a smart move and why was it done? >> well i think it states the obvious. of course future president can also abrogate a treaty. and the senate's treaty role has

been reduced to nearly insignificance since world war ii. less than 10% of our international agreements today are treaties. what the administration is really concerned about here, that this statement will upset the negotiations with iran and i have to say this is not an argument about protocol, whether tom cotton used the salad fork instead of the dinner fork. the real problem is the administration fears its negotiation posture is so fragile that the whole deal could come apart. the conclusion you ought to draw from that, really if the deal is that fragile, they don't have a deal. bill: mitch mcconnell signed the letter. he is one of the 47. interestingly that senator corker out of tennessee did not head of the senate foreign relations committee. the left is up in arms over this. "new york daily news," front page cover much the newspaper calling republicans traitors. react to that? >> well, that is ridiculous. senators and members of the house opine on foreign policy all the time it is, there is a

long tradition of it in this country. in any event we're arguing about the wrong thing. talk about iran's nuclear weapons program the fact that the deal the administration is very close to signing will essentially legitimatize politically this terrorist-supporting regime. it will legitimatize iran's ability to enrich uranium and get itself involved in other aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle. it will not address weaponnization. it will not address ballistic missile delivery systems this deal is active sure ren term that is what we ought to be talking about. bill: you say regardless whether congress acts or not iran is going nuclear unless? >> i think there are only two outcomes at this point. the most likely iran will get nuclear weapons. i think all of this discussion honestly is fundamentally irrelevant. the real question whether anybody will use military force to break iran's control over the nuclear fuel cycle. obama says all options are on the table. nobody believes that. that is why the spotlight will

be on israel after the march 17 elections. bill: so the letter achieves very little in your opinion. >> none of -- bill: should they sent it? >> i would have signed it if it i had been a senator. it is all basically a sideshow. debate over sanctions is a sideshow and the agreement is a sideshow. whether iran signs it or not they will violate the terms of it before the ink is dry. they are on a path to nuclear weapons. that is the most likely outcome unless somebody uses military force. that is what we ought to focus on and that is the reality. bill: the vice president said this letter in the guise of constitutional lesson ignores two centuries of precedent and undermines ability of any future american president whether democrat or republican to negotiate with other nations on behalf of the united states. he continues. honorable people can disagree over policy but this is no way to make america safer or stronger. what comes of that now then, if anything? >> nothing. as i say, this is like arguing over whether the senators who

signed there letter used right fork or not. there, they're not contesting what the letter itself says. they're worried about the political impact it will have on the leadership in tehran and that goes to the fundamental basis of trust that would haveto exist if anybody really believed iran would give up its nuclear weapons program as a result of this deal. that was never going to happen anyway. if this letter causes the deal to fall through i think we can all say thank goodness. it still won't stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. bill: thank you for your time. we'll see if it has impact on other five countries negotiating at moment in switzerland. john bolton thank you. >> thank you, bill. bill: martha? martha: new twist in a miracle rescue. a little girl trapped in a car for hours. the mysterious call for help that was heard by several on the scene that may have saved her life. >> you don't think you just jump in. you react and do what needs to

be done. >> it is such an impact you're able to save a life and help someone, help someone out. it makes you feel, makings feel great.

martha: dozens of people were hurt in a massive train collision. it was all caught on camera as the train was hit or the train hit rather a flatbed truck. >> oh, my god! oh my god! oh! oh! >> look at that. martha: the train slammed into a tractor-trailer stuck on the tracks in north carolina. it is the third serious crash in less than two months. jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with more on this jonathan, what happened here? what do we know?

>> reporter: transportation officials are still investigating the exact cause of the accident but the initial reports are that this truck involved was hauling an oversized load. it was towing a modular building, and electrical equipment on oversized flatbed trailer. state troopers were assisting that truck make a very sharp and difficult left turn when it got stuck on the tracks. authorities say truck was unable to back up because cars were accumulating behind it, then the train collided with the truck. >> looked out the window and, engine was on the side. >> train jolted forward. it was not going superfast at the time. it jolted forward. >> reporter: there are conflicting reports on number of people injured. according to those reports that the range is anywhere from 55 to 62 people injured in that train accident. martha? martha: we've seen a lot of train crashes lately. is there anything to, any connection in this? >> reporter: yeah, when you look at the statistics there has been

a slight uptick in number of highway rail accidents. look at this graphic here. the, the statistic actually dipped slightly in 2012 but then it went up to 2280 in 2014. between the years of 2011 and 2014 there were a total of 8,422 highway rail accidents. 473 of them involved amtrak passenger trains. then, when you look at at these highway rail accidents, most of them involve automobiles, standard cars tractor-trailer rigs, come in as a distant second martha? martha: wonder if distraction has anything to do with this. jonathan, thank you very much. bill: we are hearing from democratic sources that hillary clinton will address the issue of her private emails and server today. this is as we get new questions about what the white house new amid growing controversy. back on that story, top of the

hour.

martha: we are back and a fox news alert because we're told to expect that hillary clinton will speak today about the use of a private email account when she was secretary of state. it comes amid a political fire storm with the white house stuck in the middle now trying to put the flames out on this whole thing. welcome to a brand new hour of america's news room. >> president obama said he found out in the news like everyone else that his secretary of state used a private email account that left the white house scrambling to put out a brand new fire on this. >> yes, the president was aware of her email address. he was not aware of the fact that this was a personal email server and that this was the email address she was using exclusively for all her

business. the president was not aware of that until that had been more widely reported. martha: the word is out. chief political correspondent for the "washington examiner" and fox news contributor, byron, she'll speak today. what do you make of this? >> what josh says leaves us with a few more questions for the president. he clearly told cbs over the weekend he learned this with everyone else when it was reported in the news and that was clearly not the case. not only did he exchange emails with her, he knew her address. josh says it was only the details he didn't know but i think we've talked about this before the big thing you have to remember is right now, everything we know about this story or at least we think we know is what hillary clinton has told us and today we're going to get our first opportunity to maybe even ask her some questions and find out a little more about what's really going on. martha: in terms of the white house side of this i think the

question was worded exactly right. it was very specific. he said when did you first learn that hillary clinton used an email system outside of the u.s. government for official business while she was secretary of state? you had to have noticed it was not a dot gov address and you were having discussions with her, no doubt at times that were related to her work as secretary of state so kind of how could you not realize that? >> exactly. you have to assume the president and the secretary of state were not exchanging recipes, not only completely personal, that it was u.s. government business so the president did know that. so it's just hard to really accept the president's statement at face value. we'll have to learn more about that and there's also more to learn about what was going on at the state department. remember hillary clinton kept a small circle of intimates in this secret email system. some of them were her aides at the state department. what did they know? what kind of exchanges were between them which was all on

her own private server and has she turned those over to the state department? martha: i'm going through in my mind the possible ways she could come out and sort of approach this. she could say, you know look. i thought they were saving it all. that was my understanding. that everything was being copied and saved. i know that's the procedure. i'm not really involved in that kind of maintenance and house keeping at the state department. that's one way to go. >> we've been through this before with hillary clinton in the past. she's answered investigations and subpoenas quite a lot in her time in washington. i think what you're going to see is that she knew that she was under extra scrutiny. she knew that there were people out to get her in congress and she wanted to have a way in which she could have frank discussions with her aides about issues. it was never her desire to keep anything secret or to go around freedom of information act or the national records act and

that she always intended to hand over everything to the united states government. i think that's what we'll hear. martha: then the question is are you open to a completely open investigation of that server and making sure that we have an outside party who can take a look at it and make sure at no time did you put classified information in a zone where it could have been easily hacked into and all of that. so we'll see. we'll see what she says. we have to go. thank you so much. see you next time. bill: now to the stunning new report revealing the extent of fake social security numbers. inspector general report uncovers at least 6.5 million active social security numbers that belong to people at least 112 years old. happy birthday stuart varney. good morning my friend. 6 1/2 million people born before june of 1901. that's a great life, by the way. what in the world is going on

here? >> republican of wisconsin says that tens of thousands of these old very old social security numbers are actually in use. how can this be? how can you be 112 years old or older and still actively working using your social security number? here's the story, bill. it seems that a lot of employers called in to the social security administration and said look. i have this employee using this social security number. is this legit? and the answer comes back no it's not legit. this person is not 112 years old. illegal immigrants have been using these numbers to work using that number to go to work and report their wages and stuff to social security. that in itself is wrong. but follow it through. if you've got a social security number and you're reporting very low wages on that number you are en tiled -- entitled to the

earned income tax credit. that will be trouble fraud. that appears to be what's going on. bill: how many people are cashing checks? some checks are going out. do we know that? >> ron johnson says it's tens of thousands. a precise number don't have it. bill: so the social security administration has what's called a death master file. that's supposed to keep track of who is alive and who is not and that's the system they rely on. bigger picture, is this how the government operates? >> yes it is. big government is inefficient. bureaucracy is open to fraud. surely a private sector organization would match up old numbers, people 112 years old or older with numbers which are currently being used. and then you could weed out the fraud. government hasn't done that. government, it appears, is very inefficient. that's what happens when you have all government all the time. it's an invitation to fraud and

senator johnson says it's happening to the tune of tens of thousands with these super old social security numbers. who knows how much money is lost. bill: we'll reach to the senator and get his reaction as well. keeps them im mortal and you my friend, are forever young and we'll see you at 11:00 a.m. >> love you, bill:. bill: see you, sue art. martha: so the president of egypt is looking for more help from the united states in the fight against the isis terror army. in an exclusive interview with bret baier, the president pledging the formation of a joint arab fighting force and calling for revolution inside i see ram. very revolutionary ideas indeed. chief white house correspondent is on the conversation. is he critical of president

obama in his discussion with bret? >> not exclusively but when bret baier asked him how he and other arab allies view u.s. leadership right now, he departing from his practice in the interview answered in english and said quote, difficult question. presumably if the president seen here with secretary of state kerry in cairo last october had unqualifiably positive things to say about u.s. leadership mideast right now, he would not have said that was difficult to answer. another aspect is how he described the global threat of terrorism today in terms that echoed those of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his address to congress one week ago. >> we have to also admit it is not only isis that is threatening our area. there are a lot of similar terrorist organizations and they all work under the same

umbrella they all come from the same ideology and work under different names. >> next week secretary kerry heads back to the egyptian resort that frequently holds summits on the egyptian economy. martha: so the egyptian president also called for arab counterterrorism force and he named countries that he thought would and could and should be involved in that. what does the obama administration think of that idea james? >> when the president ordered airstrikes in libya last month because of the beheading of citizens by isis state department scarcely objected. likewise u.s. sat on the sidelines as israeli iraqi troops battled in recent days to reclaim from isis control of the city tikrit, 100 miles north of baghdad. administration would prefer that arab nag nations work within the

organization. here today, his comments could be read as an oblique indictment of president obama's leadership. >> we can also see a map of terrorism is expanded. it is not recesssive and it is not even remaining adversary level. if there is an arab ready force with the support of the united states, we can do a lot and we can face all the challenges that threaten the stability and security. >> egypt is the world's most populous arab nation and the world's oldest civilization but an stimed 40% of the 90 million people there live on less than $2 a day. martha: see if that idea can be turned into action in an arab coalition and a ready force as the president of egypt called it. james thank you very much.

>> thank you. bill: so with the tide turning in one fight against isis, new details in the battle over tikrit and why iran is more involved than the united states. we'll talk to general keene about that plus there's this. >> we are indeed here in america with each and every state. we're here in ohio. we're here in ohio. we're in every state. we're more organized than you think. martha: chilling words from a terror suspect accused of plotting an attack on the u.s. capital. we'll talk to the reporter who got that exclusive interview with christopher cornell from inside his jail cell. bill: and why the perceived front runners have more way to go. >> these elections aren't decided at the beginning. they're decided at the end and after a campaign where voters get to see different candidates, talk about different issues and weigh them along those lines opposed to the first impression.

then you haven't seen this commercial. book now and save during the spring break sale at hotels.com.

bill: a funeral later this afternoon in new york's stant patrick's kacathedral. dozens of people packed into saint pat's yesterday paying respects at a public viewing. eagan died of a heart attack at the age of 82. his body will be laid to rest under the main altar of the cathedral in midtown manhattan.

martha: iraqi forces closing in on tikrit which has been telled by isis. they could be day ways from retaking the city after launching a major offensive with a lot of help from the iranian brigades that are helping them in that fight. retired four star general jack keene is a fox news military analyst. welcome. good to have you hear today. >> good to be here martha. martha: so a lot of people look at this and say, obviously a great thing to reclaim tikrit from isis but is it at too much of a cost if it's led by iranian forces? >> well certainly it is as you suggest. this is a major setback for isis. it's the most significant victory achieved by the iraqi security forces and in this case largely supported by shia militia. we need to take tikrit if we're going to reclaim months you'll eventually so militarily very

significant. politically it solidifies iran's support for iraq and certainly will increase their influence in the long term because they're providing the rockets, artillery, they're providing leadership, the head of the force has been on the ground. their advisers are with the front line units of the shia militia. martha: so if the iranians are that helpful in resecuring tikrit, are they going to just leave and say here's your country, iraq. we pushed isis out for you and you can continue with democracy and vote for your leadership and all of that? >> absolutely no. what iranians always wanted with iraq way back when we were involved with iraq on the ground they want a weak but stable iraq that's aligned with iran and not aligned with the united states. that's what this is all about. what's so frustrating here this is another lost opportunity we have.

the invasion of iraq began in january of 2014 with fa luge a. malaki asked for the united states help. we said no. immediately iranian airplanes began to arrive to include initially some iranian air power. they set up a little operation center east of baghdad. we did not provide help until august of that same year. the request was made in january. martha: the leader in iraq said the same thing. he said i didn't get any help from the united states. i'm turning to iran and why wouldn't i? because we need help pushing these guys out. so does this signal to you that the united states is comfortable with an increasingly powerful iran in not only iraq but also in syria, in lebanon, across the middle east? >> yeah. this is -- what is ironic here

the united states believes that the foreign policy initiative of their administration is to achieve a nuclear weapons deal with the iranians so they will want build a nuclear weapon. the fact of the matter is because that has been their number one objective they have let iran achieve one initiative and one objective after another in the middle east. they now have influence and direct control over lebanon, damascus, syria clearly what we're talking about here baghdad, iraq and yemen. we have done nothing to counter that influence in syria, in yemen and now they're gaining influence in iraq right before our eyes which is very frustrating. i think that's where general dempsey went to the ground there to provide support for them. they can't succeed in months you'll without the u.s. and also long-term interests, the united

states and iraq. martha: tough job. then you have the president of egypt asking for our help with some kind of counter terrorist organization among the sunni states as well. thank you very much. good to have you here as always. see you soon. >> good talking to you. bill: a rare look in isis. former translator for the terrorist group saying what he saw, including what hostages were told before they were killed. martha: and one man left in shock after he says his e-cigarette exploded. >> i was freaking out. i just had an electronic cigarette blow up in my hand. >> where is the e-cigarette itself? >> it's stuck in the wall.

martha: a man smoking an

electronic cigarette in bed got quite a painful and dangerous jolt when it blew up in his face. look at this. who knew? the blast sent shrapnel and a hunk of the e-cigarette flying into the cigarette sparked a fire in his bedroom. the victim said the device made a humming sound and then pulled it away from his mouth just as it exploded. martha: my good n. he suffered a cut on his hands and burn on his face. the firefighters say it happens every once in a while you get an exploding e-cigarette. just another reason to stop smoking. >> is that an e-cigarette or a

firecracker? come on. martha: more to come. >> i'm very dedicated. i guess i'm a muslim islamic state. i'm dedicated. i'm so dedicated i risked my life. that should say a whole lot. bill: from a 20-year-old american from a chilling jailhouse interview that lasted for a long time revealing his plot to kill american leaders. trisha in cincinnati spoke with christopher cornell in that exclusive interview and she's with me now. good morning to you and congratulations on the story and bringing it to us today. i understand he contacted your station. why did he want to talk? >> i don't know. he called here at least three times on wednesday night, wanted to get his story out. the third time our executive producer picked up the phone because it was a collect call from the boone county jail. he said his name so quickly and he said his muslim name not christopher cornell.

we didn't even recognize it and she did speak with him a little bit on the phone asked him who he was. he described himself as the suspected terrorist who wanted to blow up the u.s. capitol and we robin, the executive producer asked for his lawyer's number. we called the lawyer and the ball went rolling there. bill: you talked how long? at least an hour, wasn't it? >> it was an hour. it was three, 20 minute conversations all recorded. bill: how does he defend the actions of isis the mass crucifixions and the beheadings? >> i asked him those pointed questions. i he would behead and he said if he was asked by isis to behead, he would. he has no problem with prisoners being set on fire in cages. he believes that america brought this on ourselves by coming to their land killing their people, raping their women.

all of the atrocities going on in guantanamo bay and those kinds of things. with that he believes he was sent to do this. bill: he went to high school in ohio, correct? >> he did. bill: he's age 20 now and behind bars for who knows how long and his daughter says he's in more trouble now for talking to you. he could be described as a sleeper cell but how much contact does he have with others? >> i asked him that. he has a phone first off. he has a phone. he can call anybody he wants at any time of the day. and he told me he has had multiple conversations over the years with people overseas. he would not give me names. he told me he met with them but he wouldn't tell me if they went to him or he went to them. bill: why september 20 is significant, i don't know. but listen to this. >> i planned on tuesday september 20 in washington,

d.c. would have been a great attack against america. even with my capture repercussions will not stop. bill: what's that all about? >> you know he comes right out and says it's his plan to put bullets in president obama's head, then kill members of the house of representatives and the senate. he also wants to take out the israeli embassy. his whole idea behind -- he was arrested in january in cincinnati at a gun store after he bought two guns and 600 rounds of ammunition. and he told me that it was his intent that day to set off pipe bombs outside the capitol to induce panic have people running outside the building so he could start picking them off with his gun. then he wanted to go to the president and he wanted to put bullets in his head. bill: thank you for sharing that today. he's in a lot of trouble clearly and perhaps more now after talking to you. thanks. fox 19. >> thanks for having me. bill: thank you. martha: back to top story today as everybody waits for hillary clent on to answer questions on

the growing email situation she confronts. now democratic sources say we'll hear from her today in fact. connected with her u.n. appearance this afternoon and we can also tell you in moments whether or not she will be taking questions there. bill: apple a day not good enough apparently. apple's new plan to keep tabs on your health around the clock. digital. @e8ñúñ÷@@@0@ú

bill: here we go now. hillary clinton set to break her silence speaking out later today, we're told. fox news confirmed that democratic sources say she'll address the email system, the private server in her home while she was secretary of state. ed henry reporting that sources telling him she will take questions from reporters. fox news radio host john gibson

has been looking at this. nice to see you. top 'o the morning to you. i guess -- let's back up. what does she say? >> this is suspense. who knows what she says? i think she's had a clue or two about what she's going to be asked about by what democrats have been saying and what reporters have been raising as issues so obviously she has to address the issue of gaps in the email. bill: there are months and months and months missing and that day she traveled to tripoli and you have the picture of her on the airplane and staring at the blackberry. >> and no email that day. she'll be asked about that. ron fornier also raised the question about was there pay to play going on with the clinton

foundation and her term as secretary of state so people are going to be asking about emails that may have gone on between her and some of those countries and companies that were donating to the clinton foundation. bill: that's a big part of follow the money. the emails are not the big deal. the big deal is the clinton foundation. now, she apparently will take questions. that can be dangerous. >> it could be very dangerous. bill: how do you control that? >> she can't. she can't control it. people are going to ask what they're going to ask. they can control it to some extent by cutting it off at some point, although that would look awkward and she's not very good at it as you know. she blurts out things like you know at this point what difference does it make? i think this is a day that's going to be suspenseful. bill: you need a little practice until you build up to a big press conference. she's been in the public eye for 20 plus years but still, you

need to have your answers down. we'll see whether or not she does. what senator feinstein said on sunday morning, she has to address this. it's almost as if perhaps she was listening and said, okay. >> i think senator feinstein was speaking for a lot of democrats who have been hiding the last few days. you've seen pieces, democrats rushing by reporters saying, i haven't looked into it. but now she has got to answer questions and i think that's clearly flushed hillary out of her hiding hole. bill: what did the "wall street journal" poll tell you about her level of support? >> i mean is it a coincidence that today, as the "wall street journal" poll comes out, shows her with 86% support among democrats she decides, okay. today is the day to talk. she must be feeling pretty comfortable that she still has a lock on the democratic nomination for president. bill: and you wonder too, you

take some questions and you think you put a nice bow on this but you don't know where the questions lead you and where the answers lead you. >> if she does have to release these emails what do they say? it's all in there. if they say nothing then this is a nothing verdict. if there are problems, this story goes on. bill: yesterday it's all about nothing. quickly in the polling that i mentioned "wall street journal," when it comes to hillary clinton and jeb bush, this somewhat we found. jeb bush when you think about him as president, is he a new idea or not? 60% say he represents return to the past. with regard to hillary she's at 51%. they have some work to do both of them, as perceived frontrunners. >> yeah. yes. in the primary context hillary still is in good shape. jeb bush has a lot of work to do and he has an uphill struggle because people just think they've seen a lot of bushes for

a long time and he has a problem with common core and immigration issues among conservatives. but it's kind of funny. if jeb bush is a return to the past, why isn't hillary clinton? it seems the public has a different mind. bill: we'll see you in a couple of weeks, maybe see how it all changes today. 2:00 eastern, we believe. >> nice to see you. bill: you bet. john gibson. martha: to this story is just incredible today. the 18-month-old baby who was found in a car upside down in a utah river is said to be making good progress at the hospital. great news for baby lily who spent more than is it -- 12 hours in the car after it crashed. the mother died in the crash or shortly after they think. rescuers found the little girl but four of the officers at the scene are now talking about hearing a woman's voice screaming for help from inside the car only moments before the

baby was spotted in that back seat. >> when we all talked together i said was i the only one hearing things? we all had heard the same thing, a voice saying help us help me. martha: that a story, right? to this day the officers don't know where the voice came from, only that they are all sure they heard it. bill: voice was an angel. martha: could be. to hear the guys who are obviously policemen on the beat out there for a long time saying they heard something like that is quite interesting. bill: 22 minutes before the hour. a former translator for the terrorist group revealing what he saw and what he knows about the executioner, this man known as jihadi john. martha: it's quite stunning. friends and colleagues mourning the death of an experienced pilot and his passenger after his plane crashes in

mississippi. >> he was a good pilot. if he would have had a chance to save that airplane save himself, that he could because he always said he would. and when alan gets all powered up, ya know what happens? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! he's a selling machine! put it there. and there, and there, and there. la quinta inns and suites is ready for you, so you'll be ready for business. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com! la quinta!

bill: a plane going down sunday about an hour before sunset. the experienced pilot teaching his passenger how to fly. the faa and ntsb now investigating what caused that plane to crash. martha: stunning story here. a former isis translator is now speaking out about what he witnessed when he was with the terrorist group. fearing for his life, the man calls himself salay telling sky news about the big boss known as jihadi john. the man identified as muhammad amwazi is the executioner who was seen beheading both

journalists. he tells why he was so calm before their deaths. >> he would say to me say to them, no problem. we only beat you. we don't kill you. we won't -- martha: incredible. walid phares joins us now, author of future jihad, terrorist strategies against the west. go ahead to have you with us today. >> thank you. martha: we're starting to hear

from people who have been associated with this group and it gives us a little more of a picture of what they are truly like and this tactic that they apparently used to sort of soaks -- coax people they gave them arab names and called them by the names to make them feel that they were being protected right? >> yes. of course. this is a deceptive method. you call it tactic, of course. we over the past few months, actually nine months have projected that one of the possibilities why the hostages were so calm some have thought, well they have maybe been given some medicine but that was not the case. this is not just one case with jihadi john although he's the master because of his skills. this has been applied to all hostages who have been decapitated for the video to exist. what's important for them is the projecti video but also the americans. we've looked at you projections

of iraqi and other local indigenous people who have been told to sit down or lay down and then after that they have been executed so this is a method that isis and before that may i say even al qaeda has used. martha: it forces the people to be somewhat compliant and relaxed as they're put through this horrific exercise that leads to their death. i want to play one more sound bite. it's important to understand that there are some out there who might even sympathize with the reasons or the motives behind some terrorist acts and when you hear the way they operate, it is truly chilling and i think it needs to be out there. let's play this.

martha: he thought he would not lose his life and he said, but they all do. and this han -- man quite emotional and taking a big risk about what he's seen fairly close up. >> any individual is urn the threat, a direct threat of being killed in an alien land they would comply psychologically. experts told us they would comply until the last minute because this is the last hope. even if they have a little shred of they're unsure about it but they will comply because they hope they will survive and isis will kill them at the end of the day. martha: what do you think about the latest development of boko haram swearing allegiance to this group? >> this is a piece of trend that we've been talking about that isis is winning the day behind the jihadists from nigeria to

liberia and sinai and soon enough we may see it in afghanistan pakistan and down to any other region in the world where the jihadists are working, what isis is doing. isis is building the dream of osama bin laden. they're not creating another dream. this is happening and as long as it has cities it's fighting. it doesn't matter if they're losing tanks or cars or individual jihadists. for them, as long as it's up it's going to force almost ideologically every single jihady group in the world to rally. martha: about 30 seconds left here but there are some signs people are defecting, some being shot in the process that the group is fraying as "the washington post" suggested the other day. >> yeah. "the washington post" looks at who is leaving but it's not looking at who is coming. the wider part of the jihadists around the world we're talking by the hundreds, no tens of thousands they're leaving by the dozens or the hundreds. martha: thank you very much.

martha: frightening looking accident showing that things are slowing down on a busy freeway in dallas. take a look at this. the wreck left the cab of an 18 wheeler dangling off an overpass with the driver and the passenger stuck inside. it happened on i-35 during the afternoon rush hour. both people managed to climb out with minor injuries and the truck spilled about 100 gallons of diesel fuel. big mess. bill: so apple is rolling out a brand new app that could give the medical industry a hand here frm it would allow up to 700 million iphone user dozen roll in clinical health trials. it's called research kit and it collects all sorts of medical data and the professor of medicine at new york university, remember the fox news medical a-team good morning to you. >> good to see you, bill. bill: what does it measure or what could it measure? >> right now to start with stanford university is involved, cornell university is involved and they're targeting certain

diseases that are all over the place. asthma, heart disease parkinson's breast cancer. so five apps have been developed already and what are they looking at? they're looking at everything from your blop your heart rate your cholesterol your blood sugar and air quality for asthmatics who want to know. look. i need to use my pump. how often? what's the air quality outside? you know diabetics need to know what their weight is all the time and the beauty of this is that you can get information around the clock. and i can reach people that i couldn't reach before. bill: that's an important part here. in the past you had to be contacted by the medical studies but now if you okay the app on your iphone, you could voluntarily sign up correct? you're physically reaching into the community. >> and my patient doesn't have to go to the medical center to get tested all the time. he may not be able to get out of his house. this way i can reach populations who are most at risk and the sickest people and get

information much more sensitive in ways in research studies that i can end up with conclusions that could help them. bill: what do they do with the information? >> well they plug them into studies and that's the best idea. use them to get data points in studies. what i'm worried about is and everyone out there is worried about it and are going to ask me how do we know the government is not getting this information? how do we keep this entirely private? that's always the question when it's something like an iphone that everybody has. next thing that worries me is i still don't want you out there to make your own decisions. there's going to be clinical applications here, too, bill. not just research. i want to know the blood sugars around the clock for all my diabetic patients. i want to know everybody's weight. i want to know your weight now, what little after dinner. i want to see variations but i don't want my patients to say hey, here's what i'm going to do. my sugar is variable. let me change my medication. doctors have to know. bill: 181 this morning.

privacy issues, what are they? could they be significant? >> i think they are significant. any time you use anything that involves the internet, any time that anything involving a smart phone and again it's potentially an issue if this information could be imported somehow by the federal government. bill: i don't see you being all okay with this then. you're not entirely on board, what you're saying now. >> no. i'm hugely okay with this because i think it's a research advance. where my worry is with privacy and with clinical information. in other words, we always have the problem with patients trying to make too much of their own decisions. as a research tool, this is ground breaking. there's so much i don't know someone with parkinson's disease for example. what's their balance like? are they falling? i want to be able to follow that. bill: i got that. i understand that. >> come up with research conclusions we've not had before. bill: people go to web md now and diagnose themselves. >> it's worse. now we're going to make it

easier to do that. i don't want people diagnosing themselves. this has to feed into doctors and researchers. can't be something that's going to enable you to diagnose yourself. bill: point taken. what am i doing for lent? no alcohol, right? >> i'm fine with that. bill: 26 days left not that anybody is counting. martha: you're down counting. i'm counting. we're all waiting for this afternoon. hillary clinton says she will speak about her email controversies after she used private email at a private server at her home. she will address the country this afternoon. we'll be right back. sit? does it make the short list? yeah, i'm afraid so. it's okay. this is what we've been planning for. knowing our clients personally is why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way.
