duke, patti ann? >> i will have to say duke because i have no horse in this race and you do? bill: apparently i owe people money. tantaros some money and martha some money too. that will happen manana. have a great day. "happening now" starts right now. jenna: certainly a good day for basketball. we'll have some of that on the show. meantime, "rolling stone" officially attract retracting its article on an alleged gang rape on the university of virginia campus. i hope you're having a great day. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. the columbia journalism school in a scathing review that the magazine failed to engage in basic or routine journalistic practices. it spark ad nationwide outrage and crackdown on fraternity activities at uva. "rolling stone" apologizing to

everyone criticized. the magazine says the writer, is a berna erredly, will not be fired, sabrina erdley. shannon? >> reporter: they reached out to columbia's graduate school of journalism to conduct in depth investigation into what happened. results were highly critical. here is portion. quote, the failure encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking. 9 magazine set aside rationalized essential practices reporting that if pursued would likely have led the magazine's editors to reconsider publishing jackie's narrative so prominently if at all. for now it does not appear anyone at "rolling stone" is going to be fired over this. the stunning article led to suspension of fraternity and sorority activities on uva campus and put school and officials on the defensive against serious allegations and launched fume russ allegations. both rolling sown and author

apologized. in the case of jack sy and her account of traumatic rape i did not go far enough to verify her story. i allowed my concern for jackie's well-being, my fear of retraumatizing her around my confidence in her credibility to take the place of more questioning and more facts. uva's president lashed out at "rolling stone" saying the story did nothing to combat sexual violence and damaged serious efforts to address the issue. irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the reputation of many innocent individuals and the university of virginia. though it appears at this point no one at "rolling stone" will lose their job as a result of columbia's investigation the magazine's managing editor is committed to a series of quote recommendations spelled out in that report. jon? jon: shannon bream. shannon, thank you. coming up later this hour our media panel will break down the controversy surrounding this "rolling stone" article and the journalistic failures the magazine now admits.

jenna: in other big news the president is trying to defend his nuclear deal with iran. in a interview with the "new york times" he addresses a top criticism, that the agreement leaves israel, our closest middle east ally, vulnerable. the president insissing that america has israel's back. >> i have to respect the fears that the israeli people have. and i understand the prime minister netanyahu is expressing the deep rooted concerns that a lot of the israeli population feel about this. what i can say, number one this is our best bet by far to make sure iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. and number two what we will be doing even as we enter into this deal is sending a very clear message to the iranians and to the entire region if anybody messes with israel, america will be there. jenna: very busy at the white house defending this deal in part. kevin corke is live with more for us now. kevin. >> reporter: jenna, good day to

you and that's a great question, people wonder. at what cost to israel? that is the question on the minds of many in the international community as it relates to more details coming out about a proposed framework on an arms deal with iran. the president in the interview as you pointed out with tom friedman of "the times" remained very forceful with his contention no matter what is a part of the deal the safety of the israeli people will not change. >> not as if in all these conversations i'm leaving all of my, you know, rifles, you know at the door. we're walking into these negotiations and everybody knows that we've got the most firepower and we're not relinquishing our capacity to defend ourselves or our allies. >> reporter: friedman went on to call it, the obama doctrine which is a sort of idea that you can sort of break free from lond-standing american policies towards former bad actors if you will or former adversaries like

burma or cuba or in this case, iran. but there is another question being asked here in washington and that is, what role if any should congress have to play in a particular circumstance like the one involving iran? a lot of people feel like no matter what happens, congress should have a say including tennessee's bob corker. >> making sure that all of the answers, the questions are answered is an appropriate thing for us to do. that doesn't mean there won't be a deal. we just set in place a process to insure if there's a deal, it is a deal that will stand the test of time. >> reporter: corker of course, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. he also added that he wanted to make sure there was a component in any framework that would allow the iaea, that is the international atomic energy agency to be able at a minimum to conduct more inspections. that is something that has been very difficult to do on a consistent basis as it relates to the iranian regime right now. jenna? jenna: as the president mentioned senator corker is

someone he could potentially work with if congress is involved. we'll see what happens over next several weeks. big ifs. >> reporter: you got it. jon: new details on two teenagers arrested in antiterror sweeps in england. british police say a 16-year-old girl was arrested in manchester and 14-year-old boy taken into custody just outside of the city. both accused of plotting terror attacks. kitty logan is live from london with the latest. kitty? >> reporter: yes jon. police haven't released too much more information as is standard practice in these cases particularly given the fact that the two are so young. they released a statement on sunday confirming two teenagers were arrested on suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism. we don't know what that act of terrorism might be. police said they gathered a certain amount of evidence from electronic devices which led them to issue an arrest warrant. now the two teenagers were arrested in the north of the country, north of england in

separate home addresses in manchester and the county of lange can sheer. the 14-year-old boy was arrested in lancashier and the girl was arrested in manchester. both on suspect of planning attack of terrorism. both were bailed on maybe on may 28th. there were a number of arrests in the u.k. six people were detained in the port of dover on syria related offenses. we don't know too much more what they were up to. police are still questioning those people today on monday. we understand they have conduct ad number of searches in properties in the city of birmingham, which is where a number of those suspects are believed to live. jon there are huge concerns here in the u.k. because of the number of people who are believed who have gone out to syria to fight for the islamic state. as many as 600 people.

the fear is when they may do returned to the u.k. radicalized and the threat level was raised to the second highest level last year. police crack down on anyone they might think are connected to syria, jon. jon: because they are so young will police ever release more information what they are accused of here, kitty? >> reporter: obviously the age is a factor. it does protect these two young people under the u.k. legal system. but of course, any terror suspect would not be spoken about, police would not discuss the case while the while charges have not yet been pressed or brought to court. police are tight-lipped on these cases. this is very unusual case because the two are young and underanchored together u.k. legal system. they will be afforded special protection as well, jon. jon: kitty logan live from london. thank you. >> story to watch there. meanwhile back here at home the presidential field is set to get a little bit bigger tomorrow when kentucky senator rand paul is expected to announce he is

officially a candidate for the republican nomination, taking off a tour through the early primary states. mike emanuel is live in washington with more. mike? >> hi, jenna kentucky senator rand paul and his team will say a different kind of republican will take on washington. in a video for his campaign launch there is call for new way, a new set of ideas and a new leader you can trust. >> above all it is time for a new president. [cheers and applause] [shouting] >> reporter: with so much discussion about president obama's nuclear framework with iran potential 2016 candidate south carolina senator lindsey graham says this administration won't get a good deal. graham continues taking swipes like this one at senator rand paul. >> the best deal i think comes with a new president. hillary clinton would do better.

i think everybody on our side except maybe rand paul could do better. >> reporter: today potential 2016 republican candidates former governor rick perry, dr. ben carson and carly fiorina are out doing events. perry is in the first southern primary state, charleston south carolina. speaking next hour at the ilitary college, the citadel, dr. carson will seek in an hour, first primary state in new hampshire about affordable health care and former hewlett-packard ceo fiorina will speak in washington at a smart women, smart power event at think tank csis. speaking of women on democratic side there is anticipation when hillary clinton will announce she is running. clinton is reportedly expected to launch in the next two weeks. on the gop side rand paul gets started tomorrow in louisville. jenna. jenna: we need a org charts to make sure where everybody is and what they're saying. >> reporter: lots of states, lots of faces. jenna: we're thinking about running.

we'll see about rand paul. tomorrow could be his week and wee see is running next. thank you mike. jon: we'll talk about hillary clinton's ambitions later on with bret baier. the search for a missing college student who vanished on a spring break visit home. the latest on the search and why her father was recently arrested. also former secretary of state hillary clinton, she might formally announce her presidential run in next couple days. bret baier standing by on what is next for mrs. clinton and any democrats who could end up challenging her. also senator rand paul as we told you also expected to announce that he is running tomorrow. would you consider voting for rand paul for president? our live chat up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. click on "america's asking" to join the conversation. hey, how's the college visit? you remembered. it's good. does it make the short list? you remembered that too. yea, i'm afraid so.

knowing our clients personally is what we do. it's okay. this is what we've been planning for. thanks, bye. and with over 13,000 financial advisors we do it a lot. it's why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way.

jenna: right now a look at some crime stories we're following. defense attorneys begin case in aaron hernandez murder trial. the former new england patriots

player is accuse killing odin lloyd back in are 2013. jurors could deliberate the case early as this week. they're searching for 18-year-old college student who disappeared march 2nd on spring break home. police search ad pond where angelica hut sell was last seen. he broke into a home and was going on a tip his daughter was last seen there. the family is voicing frustration that the police are not doing enough to search for her. a judge will determine whether craig steven hicks will face the death penalty. police say the attack was motivated by a parking dispute but the victim's family claims they were killed because they were muslims. jon: former secretary of state hillary clinton could be days away from making her second run for the white house official. her team has been quietly adding staff. now the early pieces of her strategy are coming into focus

with reports that clinton advisors want to erase the mistakes of her 2008 campaign and try to portray her in a more down-to-earth way. let's check in with bret baier. he anchors "special report" every night, 6:00 eastern right here on the fox news channel. bret it is my understanding that her advisors plan to reintroduce hillary clinton to the american people. is there anyone in america who doesn't already know hillary clinton? >> jon, she does have about 100% name recognition in most polls and everybody has an opinion one side or another about hillary clinton, what this campaign it appears is going to try to do is reintroduce her to some of the early parts of her life, her career her life as a mother and, to put a relatable softer, pitch on hillary clinton, not the big events, the big speeches that we saw in 2008, but perhaps, more

intimate gatherings according to senior aides with the clinton camp by the way they're not getting paid. almost all of it is volunteer. in coming days that will change and apparently getting a check. jon: when she started in 2008 took it twitter and i'm in. there was a lot of i did this and i did that. aides said that is off putting, what do you americans want, not the fact that it is i hillary clinton who is running this time around? >> it will be really interesting to see how this develops, how does hillary clinton, the candidate evolve from the candidate we saw in in 2008? the moment where things turned around for her back then, happened in a coffee shop in new hampshire. you may remember where she teared up about how tough some of this was being on the

campaign trail. that made her identifiable at least in that instance according to the polls. and she ended up pulling out a victory there. it is interesting to see how this campaign is talking about reintroducing her in a softer pitch, than most people perhaps see hillary clinton. jon: i'm kind of puzzled though. i mean we had the story a week or so ago about hillary clinton operatives who had written that letter to a number of reporters saying we'll be looking for sexist what they thought were sexist words in their coverage of the hillary clinton campaign. and at the same time supposedly the campaign aides are saying, you can't emphasize the fact that if elected, you would be the first woman president in this nation's history. >> well, i think that is going to be interesting to watch, how much that is a part of the campaign. how much breaking that glass ceiling becomes part of the

pitch. i would expect that it is going to be pretty significant but there will have to be other parts of why she is running for president. jon, i mean it is not just a legacy thing. it is not just breaking the glass ceiling thing. there will have to be substance behind those policies and how she will differ from president obama in certain ways and embrace him in other ways. i mean, that will be the truck thing as we get ready to listen to this launch, just days from now. it has to, by the way happen within about two weeks since she already signed a lease for an office space in brooklyn. the fec says you have 15 days once that starts. jon: she republicans obviously are going to try to portray this as the third obama term in their battles against hillary clinton. how does she try to step away from that? >> well, i think she is going to distance herself from a few things and perhaps early on suggest that she would do things

differently in regards to, for example obamacare some fixes maybe that she could propose. i think the toughest part for her will be on foreign policy in that she was secretary of state and, you know how it is portrayed the foreign policy of barack obama will be a big part of it. i bet rand paul will mention the obama-clinton foreign policy numerous times in his speech tomorrow. jon: it is also my understanding that there is another former president she will try to sort of distance herself from. hillary clinton will not be a visible force at least in the early

jenna: california facing enormous drought. emergency measures are sparking criticism. were a person spigot is closed for some and open nor others.

wow. sweet new subaru, huh mitch? yep. you're selling the mitchmobile!? man, we had a lot of good times in this baby. what's your dad want for it? ..like a hundred and fifty grand, two hundred if they want that tape deck. you're not going to tell your dad about the time my hamster had babies in the backseat, are you?! that's just normal wear and tear, dude. (vo) subaru has the highest resale value of any brand... ...according to kelley blue book ...and mitch. love. it's what makes a subaru a subaru.

jon: right now concerns growing for a new designer drug hitting streets. it is called flaca, it contains the same compounds found in many bath salts. it sometimes goes by the name of $5 insanity because it can trigger paranoia and

hallucinations. it is popular with people in north carolina florida, and ohio. flaaka is highly addictive. it can be smoked, injected or used in e-cigarettes. jenna: jerry brown taking flack over water restrictions some say don't go far enough. city and towns have to reduce water use by 25%. most people use between 80-100 gallons a day. getting rid of 0 billion quick showers. it's like doing away with 500 billion toothbrushings.

ryan yates is the director. a lot of cite sip that farmers aren't getting tough enough restrictions. respond to that. it seems to be the pervasive theme coming out of the news. it's not tough enough on farmers. what do you say to that? >> we are witnessing a severe and historic drought. and the impact that are being felt locally are quite tremendous. as governor brown says in his executive order we have to do things differently. and we can be sure farmers are going to be willing to do their best to conserve water supplies for the future. jenna: the "new york times" is mapping out some of the criticism of farmers saying they are drilling too many wells too

deep. they are choosing the wrong crops that take a lot of water. like almonds'. what do you say you shouldn't be drilling so much or drilling so deep. >> drilling is part of agriculture. the reason we are seeing increased. you'ving is because of the drought. when you see snow pack levels we are seeing them at 5% of normal. when the surface water supply is diminished as we have been seeing in the last couple years of drought the dependence on water supplies increased. as we have seen the declined in supplies we have seen agriculture continue dependence on subsurface pumping.

jenna: there will be critics about whatever restrictions are put out there. but so far the american public hasn't felt the effects. do you anticipate a change in that? it hasn't impacted produce production the last several years. but is this year going to be different? should americans anticipate higher prices? >> there are a number of factors that impact the markets and commodity pricing. we saw 400,000 acres of land go fallow. and this year is likely to be no different. as we continue to see the effects increased fallowing of acreage, there could be an impact. when you look at california, california is the breadbasket of the country when it comes to

agricultural production with $45 billion in receipts annually. jenna: do you think farmers are being treated unfairly? >> i think all of us have to play our part in municipal water. >> when it comes to conservation we have seen efficiencies used in the industry to provide a food supply for a growing population. jenna: this is a story we are watching obviously because of the nationwide impact. we appreciate your thoughts. jon: the fate of dzhokhar tsarnaev could soon in the hands of the jury. and love report from the courthouse next. >> a new report claims "rolling stone" failed at every level to verify a story it published about an alleged gang rape at the university of virginia.

rights in states in the union. jenna: prosecutors are pushing for the death penalty for dzhokhar tsarnaev in the boston marathon bombing. his defense team says he was heavily influenced by his older brother. >> reporter: we are getting word the jury reentered the courtroom and closing arguments are just beginning. the prosecution just said the defendant brought terrorism to backyards and main streets. streets. he's talk about dzhokhar tsarnaev the boston marathon bomber in this case. his closing arguments similar to offing arguments they laid out a time line, what happened day to day from the moment those twin bombs went off in boston until dzhokhar tsarnaev was brought tennessee custody on

april 19. something a little unusual happened prior to the closing arguments. the judge gave rather lengthy jury instructions. while this case may seem fairly straightforward. the defense did say openly in court it was him acknowledging participation during the course of the week. the judge going through three conspiracy charges 27 counts of substantive actions. laying out a variety of horrific acts claiming four lives and injuring hundreds of people. conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and the defendant knowingly in10ed to joint agreement -- knowingly

intended to join in the agreement. remember the ru gerks r is alleged to have been used in the killing of officer sean collier. one of the counts in particular is that the defendant knowingly delivered an explosive with intent to cause death and major destruction and economic loss. also many of the charges are about aiding and abetting. that dzhokhar tsarnaev worked with his his older brother tamerlan in the course of committing these criminal act. the closing arguments will be going on likely more than an hour on the part of the prosecution. then we are expecting to hear from the judge yet again. he said he will have a few more words after the closing arguments are complete.

john: "rolling stone" magazine officially is retracting an explosive article in november. detailing an alleged gang rape at a frat house party on the campus of the university of virginia. it was written last fall by sabrina rubin erdely. she is now apologizing but she'll keep her job with the magazine. a review by the columbia school of journalism says that magazine failed to verify claims of the woman called jackie. alan colmes i want to start by reading one of the most condemning paragraphs in this columbia report. it says "rolling stone'" main

repudiation is a story of journalistic failure that was avoidable. it failed fact checking and essential practices of reporting that if pursued would have led the magazine's editors to rethink publishing jackie's narrative. nobody is getting fired alan, appropriate? >> at first i thought they should fire the editors and anybody involved tonight. but then i was reading what steve coll said. he said there were no line to colleagues and i would think it's ground for automatic firing or serious sanctions. those are his word. i can understand leonard saying i'm going to support my staff.

delays certain amount of loyalty. sometimes you get a second chance in life. i understand the knee jerk she should be fired. i think erdely would have a hard time finding another job somewhere. jon: starbucks. >> i think they will get a lot of criticism. jon: part of the criticism is this woman sabrina erdely went looking for the place where she could write the perfect story about rape on campus. she found it and didn't want to question her course because she was so committed to this story. >> the report says it was every element in the system itself. the fact checkers and editors are meant to question a writer. people call you and say what about this. give us this research.

where are you coming from on this? none of that happened. so necessity fired hoarve was responsible there would be no magazine. but what you have got is not just one episode. you don't have -- this is not -- i wrote about group thinking extensively in my first book 14 years ago. this is something that becomes cultural. one of the elements is you believe you have sole possession of the truth. when you have that, there is no reason to question yourself or question your reporters especially when the end justifies the means. the question now is not who are you going to fire but holes can you trust. i think rolling stone and all of legacy media has this problem. jon: the from temperatures president said it completely tarnished our reputation and destroyed a semester of our

lives. as radon van -- as ray donovan said, where do they go to get back their good name? >> i think "rolling stone" and the author and editors are being punished by this public exposure. certainly can we now believe anything said in "rolling stone"? you can see you the legacy media. >> this is a lib central narrative. there is political and cultural lies that have been perpetrated ranging from "hand up, don't shoot," that were fake. the notion of the benghazi arguments being fake. dan rather and george w. bush's military record end up being fake. you have this notion that of what it is because we have sole

possession of the truth whatever we have to do to moist is appropriate. they are make excuses. she is saying it's because i cared too much. no it's because she had an agenda. >> benghazi no scandal. the irs no scandal. >> we are doing opinion here. we can do this. even on fox, our fights here are more than what would have happened in the editorial room at "rolling stone." this is the challenge about the detail. jon: i want to read one last conclusion from this report that i think bears considering here. erdely and her editors hoped their investigation would sound an alarm about campus sexual assault. instead the magazine temperatures failure may have spread the idea that's women

invent rape allegations. we have to leave it there. jenna: a new strategy for gun control advocates. who they are focusing campaigns on now. why some say the jobs report is showing vulnerabilities overall.

jon: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered." >> after four people in the u.s. were accused of plotting terrorist attacks. homeland security's jeh johnsoneds of americans were recruit and now they have returned home. weren't things simpler but had responsibilities in the adult classes that let you go back to preschool. >> all that plus our hashtag one

lucky guy. jenna: wall street is trading higher today after what was described as a disappointing jobs numbers friday. there were concerns about the economy overall. want it means for us moving ahead into this year. what do you think about this? we didn't have much of a reaction. markets were closed. you look deep in those numbers there are troubling signs. >> it was a weak number in job

creation. wages were essentially flat. people were dropping out of the workforce. so i will say this. inch in this stage of this recovery this shows us that there is a good chance, i would say 50-50. we can't be guaranteed. if you look at the numbers we may be heading back towards a recession. all the indicators, particularly the job creation numbers are slowing. i think that's the problem both hillary clinton has and the problem president obama has. hillary clinton is likely to inherit an economy that's slow growing or possible boy in a recession. economic expansion even the crummy one we have now generally last 7 years. that 7-year cycle is about over. why is the market up on this? the market loves the lousy economic numbers because it's addicted to low interest rates.

if you keep rates low that will keep the market up. why is that? when rates are low where else will you put your money. you have got to keep tonight stock. that's the theory. a lot of people think this market is in a bubbleland. it's a bubble until it pops. jenna: the jobs numbers 126,000. i know you are not an economist. but when you hear someone say 50-50 it makes you feel nervous about a recession. is there anything we should do beyond feeling nervous and worried? >> the problem this economy people with disposable income who make a decent amount of money, they can make a lot of

money in this economy. you can borrow cheaply and put your money in the markets. it's the average guy and gal they don't have disposable income. they are living on wages if you look at the numbers they have been flat for many years now. if you take into account inflation were they are getting lower and probably getting lower. businesses in the u.s., it's cost associated with this. >> there are those who say it's just the weather. >> it's climate change. because we had a cold winter. think how absurd that is. this is a huge economy. we have parts of the u.s. which are sunny and warm like california when new york was cold and snowy. it's a lame excuse. i'm sure there is some impact with the weather. but you can't explain this lousy

of a number in context. jenna: i want to hear what you have to say what we should be doing differently. we'll see you after the commercial break.

jenna: you were mentioning politics and how it's involved when we are talking about the economy. with you giving us a 50-50 chance the economy could be sliding bang to a recession. so many are focused on foreign policy but it could bring us back to domestic. you do have rand paul. we expect him to announce he's running for president. he's advocating flat tax. talk to us about that philosophy

versus what we have right now. and another philosophy about getting the economy back up in gear. >> i will say this. if hillary clinton is worried about one thing. this is what democratic party operatives who work on wall street tell me. she is worried about the economy. you have a president who doesn't care as much about improving the economy as he is expanding the welfare state. the republicans come aught with a lot of different theories. they are all for less taxes and bringing down race to some extent. i think rand paul is the most radical in terms of tax reform. i think something along the lines of simpson-bowles. something like that could be implemented where you have closing of loopholes lowering

of various rates. jenna: we heard about tax reform for so many years. one of the problems here that you have wickedly divided government. if the republicans keep the senate and a republic dmant white house you will have tax reform. that's going to happen. that's a key plank for every one of the republican presidential candidate. i think rand paul is advocating a flat tax. jenna: we have got to go. charlie, great to see you. thank you for the time. you have got to watch fox business because of what's going on with the economy. jon: some brand-new stories we

bringing you in the next hour of happen *. "happening now."

jon: we are off to work on our second hour of "happening now." we'll see you in an hour. >> a news conference has begun on ways being called a journalistic failure that forced "rolling stone" to retract a story bean alleged gang rape at the university of virginia. this is "outnumbered." also with us is dab and geoghan mcdowell. and you are
