>> we have video of steve changing into his skirt pretty much for the first time on this show. >> gimme that thing! whoa! >> family show. have a terrific weekend, of course. we'll see you back here on the couch. i'll be wearing pants monday. >> stay within yourself. coming. after nearly six years the victims of the fort hood shooting finally getting the recognition they deserve. welcome to "america's newsroom." martha: it was november 5 2009 when major nidal hasan opened fire at fort hood on that awful morning. shouting allahu akbar. the obama administration called that a simple case of workplace violence not an acts of terrorism which would give the

victims the medals and all the care and benefits that would come with that. this is was sean manning told us. >> you were shot six times. how did you get out of there? >> i was fortunate that it was able to stand and run or stand and get out. always was going out the door, i saw some of my soldiers on the ground. and i knew i couldn't do anything about it, drag them out or anything like that without getting hit again. that's something that stuck in my mind, too. >> reporter: we are just about an hour away from what is expected to be one powerful day at fort hood. it's a day filled with mixed emotions because once again it reopens the wounds of that terrible november day when so

many were hurt and so many lost their lives. but it's also joyous in that this is something the victims and their families and lawmakers have bern fighting for. today their dreams become reamized. 47d realized. 47 medals will be award. purple hearts and defense of freedom medals which is the civilian equivalent of a purple heart. it was not just soldiered killed here. congress did have to pass a new law changing the criteria of what it took to receive a purple heart and the victims of this tragedy are now forever grateful. >> the good thing is we had people doing the right thing. but that's because those people in congress -- that's because we stood up for something that we believed in and we stood if you

for what was right. >> reporter: a long list of dignitaries are expected to attend this he strength including the governor of texas senators cruz and cornen. we'll be carrying portions of it right here in "america's newsroom." martha: it has beening a long road to this moment it was 2000 when major nidal hasan injured over 30 on that day. the watching refused to characterize the incidents as terrorism. instead they labeled it as workplace violence. he was convict of 13 counts of murder. the obama administration acknowledged that those killed

or injured in that i -- in that attack were victims of terrorism. sean manning has two bullets in his body. he says the government refuses to give him the benefits that come with a combat-related injury. we'll dpeect congressmen who put into motion what happened today. we'll have it for you live, that's 10:00 a.m. eastern time coming up in the next hour. why would you characterize this workplace violence when you had so many victims huddled in that workplace that day knowing nidal hasan was yelling allahu akbar.

martha: storm chasers catching the destruction on camera as a twister tosses a truck over like a matchbox car watch this. >> oh, my god this is violent. >> oh, my gosh! >> there goes cars. i saw headlights go flying. keep going. go slow. we need to see if everybody is all right. we need to go. he's over, he's over. go! go! go! martha: survivors rescued from a restaurant basement. mike tobin is on the scene 70 miles outside of chicago. what's the situation this morning.

>> reporter: we are just getting look at all the destruction that that the sun has come up. this gas station had some retail converted in the bottom. i'm always amazed by what doesn't get destroyed. into the kitchen you can see the bottled still standing on the kitchen shelf despite the fierce wind that ripped everything apart. you can see the markings on the vehicles. that's an indication those vehicles have been searched. there were no victims found inside. you can see the green markings on the side. someone found a pet on the second floor. that indicates there is a live monday inside that facility. across the street you can see some of the rescue crew directing traffic with the first responders showing up along the scene. across that field you can see all of the trees that have been

damaged. the insulation hanging in the branches. another vehicle that had been turned over by the force of the storm. as we look toward ways really the center of town, that's the center of this small farming community of 200 people. everyone knows everyone. that's where the 67-year-old woman was killed. she was a mother and grandmother. they know her kids and grand kids. this is where you have the rescuers gig one more search house to house. martha: what a path of destruction that ripped through that town. there was a zoo that was hit as well. what can you tell us about that. >> that's the belvedere zoo.

a couple animals were killed in the force of this storm martha. bill: tornadoes spotted. that is a big storm. all of it part after severe weather pattern expected to affect millions. west virginia, kentucky and tennessee. the warnings went out early. it seems like we get better with the technology every year. hopefully that's the case. in the meantime another day and more receipt rick from the u.n. iran slamming the u.s. and accuse them of lying about the details of a nuclear agreement. >> the other party who is stubborn treacherous and hard to deal with and is known to be

after trickery, after haggling after stack others in the back. bill: leland vittert in washington. these are the folks we are dealing with. what is the motivation of comments like that at this time. >> reporter: the next call being the deal that need to be made over the next couple months. clearly the iranian leadership is a lot more interested in lashing out at the united states rather than trying to sell a possible deal to its people. it appears what the iranians say the deal is and what the administration does are two different things. especially when it comes to sanctions. remember the administration's fact sheet that they put out last week said both side agreed to a gradual lifting of sanctions. president rouhani said they would not sign a deal unless all sanctions were lifted at once.

in gentleman maka yesterday president obama seems more demure than the tough rhetoric coming from tehran. >> reporter: the next two months of negotiations will be critical for making sure we are memorial eyeing an agreement that gives us confidence and gives the world confidence that iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: there are big continues in style as well. take for example some of the ayatollah's tweet saying among other things, hour after the talks americans you have ad a fact sheet that most of it was contrary to what was agreed. they always deceive and breach promises. the state department responded yesterday rather cooley saying they won't negotiate in public.

martha: it look like the white house is taking aim at benjamin netanyahu's speech at the u.n., tweeting out a bomb graphic that was similar to the one we saw. plus there is this. >> our charge is that he was planning to commit violent acts with isil and aid them as a terrorist organization. bill: what we are learning about this wisconsin man charged with attempting to join isis and now being held without bond. martha: we are awaiting the purple heart ceremony. two congressmen who played a large role in making this event become a reality. join us next. >> the first shot hit me right here in the left chest. it missed my heart by a county sent

meter -- by acentimeter or two. know your financial plan won't keep you up at night. know you have insights from professional investment strategists to help set your mind at ease. know that planning for retirement can be the least of your worries. with the guidance of a pnc investments financial advisor, know you can get help staying on track for the future you've always wanted.

martha: this friday the president is in panama for the summit meeting. there is a lot of attention around the meeting that will happen with raoul castro. we'll be watching all the developments. a very big story.

bill: one of the victims of the fort hood shooting says he's still being rejected for benefits even though he was shot six times. apparently there are no benefits that come along with the purple heart. >> i think it's almost unheard of for someone to receive the purple heart and not have their injuries classified as combat related. the fact that you have an al qaeda-inspired attack and have it be work related is unheard of. bill: maybe you can help us understand. why was this workplace violence for almost six years?

>> as soon as this event happened i started work on the benefits and getting the purple heart for these victims. the statement of the white house that it was workplace violence, it stopped the whole procedure. they wanted to make sure nobody said a terrorist act happened on american soil. that jammed the proceedings. so it's been a five-year fight. but we fought it out and we won. congressman williams? with that victory in quotes what is today about? >>' the new beginning for these families and these victims. it gives an opportunity to remind our soldiers everywhere across the world that america doesove them and appreciates what they have done.

right now the issue is they are going to receive the benefits, the purple hearts they so deserve. i know congressman carter and i could not more pleased with what is going to happen in about an hour. bill: will sean manning get the benefits he thinks he rightly deserves? >> i believe he rightly deserves this. we fought this administration on a lot of issues on this and if we have to do it again we'll do it again. bill: do you think it was political correctness as well as your colleague does? >> i think there is no question it's political correctness. i don't think president obama wanted a terrorist act during his administration and he played politics with it. congressman carter, what does

today mean for you? >> first off on this issue of benefits we have been assured that every purple heart has benefited the taxpayer, too. in the bill i draft it said purple heart and benefits. in the defense authorization act they put the language purple heart. we asked the question, we were assured the benefits would go with the purpose heart as it's been with all purple hearts. if they are changing the rules again we are going back to fight. this is what we were assured as we went forward. so i feel confident we'll win this fight. bill: john carter, roger williams from texas. we'll see you 40 minutes from now. martha: a school bus packed with kid loses control on a highway.

update on the student and how this happened. bill: a community reeling after the death of a beloved student athlete. what we are learning about her mysterious illness today. >> we have been talking to each other and have been able to cry with each other and laugh with each other.

bill: we are getting dash cam video from a school bus as it crashes on an oklahoma highway. watch this. [screaming] bill: those student were on their way home from school in

tulsa. the driver losing control on a wet highway before the bus leaves the road. one child broke a leg but will be okay. martha: a community is in mourning today and in shock after a student athlete suddenly dies from a mysterious illness. her name was madison small she was a member of the varsity softball team. her team said she wore a pink bow for each game and they plan to keep that tradition alive. >> we have her number embroidered in pink on our jerseys. martha: dr. kevin campbell is a practicing doctor and professor of medicine. it was very sudden. came out of nowhere. she was playi ball with her dad one night and gone the next

day. >> when we seed sudden death in a young person we think a couple things like an infectious illness like meningitis. another would be if she had some sort of catastrophic he excellent her brain such as a bleeding episode. but as a physician those are the first couple things that come to mind. martha: they said they are not worried about contagious disease because they were coming to of a week of spring break. but you say you are still concerned about that possibility. >> certainly if meningitis was a possibility, anyone exposed to her directly could be contagious and i would want them treated by antibiotics. martha: we don't know it's meningitis. we are talking about possibilities because we are waiting for the results of what happened to her.

if it were meningitis, how does it spread. >> it spreads through droplets in the air sharing of glasses of water. it's so highly contagious when you see outbreaks of meningitis, all the kids get treated. if i were a parents of a kid who had been near her i would took you my pediatrician. we just don't know enough. you also talk about intercranial bleeding or stroke or cardiac arrest. all of that is so unlikely in a person of her age but it could happen. >> with stroke we could see something sort of like an aneurysm that ruptured and bleeding in the brain. and it may fit with her program where she felt unwell and woke up with a terrible headache. cardiac arrest is rare in young athletes.

her children cal picture doesn't fit with that. autopsy is going to be very, very revealing. martha: a beautiful girl and it's going to be a difficult time for her family and friends. bill: there are new reports that hillary clinton will have a big announcement this weekend. but new polling shows she could be losing ground in some of the key swing states. what does that mean on the verge of her campaign. martha: they say a picture is worth a thousand words. what words would you couple with for what happened with joe biden and at pacifier?

enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever bruising, bleeding, or paleness. enbrel helped relieve my joint pain. but the best part of every journey... dad!!! ...is coming home. ask if enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists, can help you stop joint damage. martha: it's morning in fairdale illinois and they are getting a look at some of the damage. you can see how this thing

ripped through this entire small community. look at that. one house stand on the left-hand side. we always see that crazy path with these tornadoes that leaves so much destruction but a home here and there still standing. but a devastating blow for this community. we'll show you these pictures as they come in. we know one life was lost last new england that storm. bill: we now know what happened before the deadly police-involved shooting in south carolina. we have newly released dash cam video from michael slager's car pulling michael scott over. scott will make a run for it 30 seconds later. officer slager later shooting and killing scott. now charged with murder and fired from his job. john roberts with us.

what does the dash cam add to this? >> reporter: it gives us an indication of what happened in the early moments of this confrontation. while police will tell you there is no such thing as a routine traffic stop. officer slaying were pulled over walter scott for having a burned out brake light. the two cars pull into a park lot. sharing asks him for his license, registration and understand card. scott says he's buying the car from a neighbor monday. he don't yet have the paperwork. while sharing is running his driver's license scott tries to get out of the car to say something to sharing. slager yells at him to get back inside the vehicle. but then scott decide to bolt

from the car. slager calls in to stay's in hot pursuit on foot. then he yells tears taser taser. you hear a clicking sound which might be the taser being activated. there is a further scuffle then silence. the one thing we don't see or hear from the dash cam video are the eight shots five of which hit scott and killed him. why did scott decide to run from this traffic stop? his family says he was delinquent on child support and didn't want to go to court. it's not clear if there was an active bench warrant and whether he would have gone to jail as a result of this traffic stop. bill: how is the community reacting to this? >> reporter: they are very upset. but in north charleston they are

willing to allow the wheels of justice to turn. however, last night at the first city council meeting one of the protest leaders went before the council to ask them to create a citizen's review board to oversee the police. >> it's awesome the city is convicted him of murder because he murder someone in cold blood. that's a cause for joy. but how do we make sure it doesn't happen again. >> reporter: officer slager isn't a convicted murder. he's only charged with murder. later he wouldn't tell me if there would be consequences if they didn't respond to that request. he said he's just trying to hurry things along. martha: hillary clinton is expected to announce her presidential run this weekend. feels like a long time coming.

new polling shows she has had a tough time in the february to april period, she tumbled against a lot of her potential opponents. including senator rand paul of kentucky. these are some swing states. you have rand paul ahead of her in colorado, ahead in iowa and she is ahead of him by points in virginia. there are a lot of polls out there today. david goodfriend, he's the past secretary for president bill clinton. so when you look at these numbers, david a lot of things the mix here. the e-mail situation that i don't know what else you could point to as something that has damaged her because that's what the big story has been. what say you? >> you will be surprised to know

i see things a little bit differently than that. i think you had republican candidate launching with great fanfare their campaigns touring the swing states and hillary clinton hasn't laced up yet. so it's a little bit early to declare victory. but let's take a closer look at those numbers. hillary clinton lead every single republican in every single swing state sometimes by 10 points with chi exceptions. rand paul by 1 point that's well within the margin of error in iowa. and he lead within 3 point in colorado. these are not numbers that should start republicans cheering. she is going to launch back a massive campaign of her own. martha: if they weren't getting a pop out of all this fanfare

you would have to take a look. listen to this from charles kraut hammer talking about first-time senator running. >> the unfortunate characteristic the three of them share is they are all first-term senator. and we have an unfortunate experience with the current president who is the same. i think that works against all of them. i don't think it's fate albie any means. but you have a little bit of an advantage if you are a former governor or current martha: cruz, paul and rubio first-term senators. what do you think? is that a big hurdle? >> you would think that would be the cases specially after we have had two terms of a failed presidency. clearly he was not prepared for the job. some of us might think he had the wrong policies as well.

i don't think that's necessarily going to hamper rubio cruz or rand paul. i was shocked to find 58 per of people in "the washington post" poll still want hope and change. that's why i think hillary clinton has a problem and jeb bush might have a problem. let many add one other state. pa. a state that republicans have not won since 1998. rand paul is up by 1 point. the problem is note hillary getting less media. in all these polls the republicans' numbers from rand paul on down have remained flat. martha: honest and trustworthy number are not good. 56 per in colorado say she is not honest and trustworthy. but when she announces when she

starts to get out there you would expect the numbers to increase. this one takes a look at jeb bush and hillary clinton. favorable, unfavorable numbers. ways interesting to me is the haven't heard enough category on the bottom of this. you have got a quarter of the voters saying i don't know enough about jeb bush at this point. now look at the same comparison for hillary clinton here. everybody has heard enough. 6% 5%, 4 per se it's per -- 4% say i don't know hillary. >> i think it's unusual in modern politics to enter a race with near 100% name recognition. there is not a lot that can be done to change people's existing perceptions of her. but people looking for a mammoth

change or looking for competency and responsibility and someone who they believe can relate to their problems? that's at the top of the list for most voters right now. job security, income growth. on those measures she'll do very well. >> david and tony, we'll do it again. thanks very much, gentlemen. bill: we could be watching the start of america's next great golfer from the masters. jordan spieth, that's an unbelievable shot to watch.

the deal with iran. i think it's been a --'s been a terrible salesman. they are deteriorating the relationship between the united states and israel to a very slow points. the president keeps saying there will not be -- iran will not achieve nuclear weapons under my watch. mr. president this is not your watch. this is about the iranian clock which is racing toward the nuclear device and this is not about your watch. this is about the life our children and our grandchildren as well as your grandchildren. so if you don't care what happens in 20 months when you leave the white house we do. the words this will not happen under my watch echo the word of neville chamberlain the prime minister of england who came

back from munich saying there will be peace in our time and ended up bringing the worst war world war ii. i think the way the president is trying to appease iran is similar. bill: why do you think this relationship has gone the so rotten? >> first of all i believe there isn't much love lost between the president and the prime minister. i'll be the first to admit both side share the blame. the prime minister made some mistakes. the president has made mistakes. but their biggest mistake toys realize politics, foreign policy world affairs and world security are not about love and romance. they are about doing the right thing and working together to make this world safer. that's why i'm disappointed by the happy behavior and the

accusations by the white house. i think the president and the prime minister should rise above their differences get together, realize that they are facing one of the world's greatest and most dangerous challenges in the most volatile period we can remember for years and work together to assure that the terrorist fundamentalist regime in iran will not acquire nuclear weapons. if they do this will be a world neither you or our children or obama will want to live in. bill: the army commander in iran said this. it's a pity the arrogance has plagued the arab world through deception. that was picked up on the official iranian twitter feed that said iran's tomorrow commander should fight israel, not each other. it appears there will be a deal some kind.

martha: well a day of honor today at fort hood. a ceremony awards the purple heart to the victims of the deadly 2009 attack. that ceremony we understand is about to get underway now. the recognition coming finally more than five years later . after the obama administration classified this as incident of workplace violence and then changed their minds under heavy pressure as a terrorist attack which it clearly was. welcome everybody to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. members of congress from texas stepped in making victims

eligible for purple heart or civilian equivalent which is called the defense of freedom medal. for the long-suffering victims and families it is about time. martha: captain chuck nash fox news military analyst. captain, good morning to you. a very significant day for these people. they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve. your thoughts as we watch them assemble this morning? >> this is a very sad affair because it never should have happened. go all the way back to how the army first-hand he willed this when major hasan had cakics. when he final i acts out and goes into that soldier readiness center, take as seat at a table bows his head and comes up, yells, "allahu akbar!," starts shooting he fires 214 rounds in

ten minutes. the whole time is is screaming "allahu akbar!." he has been in touch with anwar al-awlaki. the fbi and nsa knew that. didn't tell the army. all of this comes down. then the administration in 2009, anxious to not have a terrorist attack on their watch oh, it was workplace violence. this is a very sad affair. these people deserve the benefits attendant with that medal. that was clearly the intent of congress. that is the key here. what was the intent of congress in the legislation that provided the purple heart. martha: talk to us about the purple heart itself campaign. in terms of meaning what it says to those that wear it and others sees others that wear it? >> the purple heart is awarded if you get physical injury in combat while actively serving.

it doesn't mean you have to be overseas. you could be where these folks were in a stateside facility. terrorism has come here like in 9/11. once that was considered an act of terrorism then the perpetrator was terrorist. and anybody that received physical wounds, when i say physical wounds, a concussion where you exhibit no physical wound, still counts. yet posttraumatic stress disorder does not count, nor does shell shock or anything where you would classify a psychological injury. martha: yeah. you know, you talk about the army and the mistakes that you say they made early on and they didn't identify him for what he was sooner. clearly they must have been in so much shock when that happened and also the realization they did not pay attention to the signs that were so clearly there. it was a very, very difficult

moment for them. what do you think about that? and has anything changed would it be different today do you think? >> one can only hope, martha. i don't know. the problem that we're dealing with here all the way up to the upper reaches, in fact up to the commander-in-chief himself we're refusing to identify the enemy. how much delusion and willful disregard is going on throughout the entire system when you stripped out any mention of islamic radicalism, when to the point that the islamic state has nothing to do with islam. well, major hasan clearly identified himself acting that way and anwar al-awlaki who he was in communication with, was one of the principle and recruiters and planners of terrorism. martha: we took out subsequently. we knew he was a threat. this man was in touch with him. >> yes. martha: if there are no lessons learned here then this is truly tragic day. i hope will be a positive day as

we go forward here. captain nash, thank you very much. good to have you here. >> martha, congress clearly intended for these people to be made whole. for the army to disregard that and stack angels on the head of a pin wondering what the definition of is, is, in the language should have gone back to the congress for clarification of their intent. martha: understood. captain nash, thank you very much. >> yes ma'am. bill: we'll take you back there live as event get underway in texas. meantime they're picking up the pieces in illinois after severe storms spawned at least two deadly tornadoes there. >> [bleep]. he is over it.

of them. >> we pulled in here and ran side. got a couple of pictures of the tornado across the street from us. the owner said get if the basement. we went down in the basement. 12 of us in the basement until they got us opened up to come out. bill: now we have aerial pictures with daylight. we're getting brand new pictures of the devastation. in the town of fairdale near the wisconsin border. a 67-year-old woman found dead in the rubble of her home. eight others injured there. authorities say every building in the tiny town has been either damaged or destroyed. that is where meteorologist maria molina is live this morning. maria what does it look like to you as you see that? >> hi, bill, what a scene out here. i want to show you some of the devastation we are observing as the sun has risen. a lot of debris thrown everywhere. you have crews that are starting to work on cutting down some branches and also some power lines, getting them out of the way.

we have a power line down here, our cameraman standing right next to it. we also have a car that was flipped, tossed by the massive tornado that went through the town. you can see it back there. when appears to be insulation from a home thrown just all across this area. this is just, it gives you an idea how powerful this storm really was and this tornado came through the area. it was a large wedge tornado. they develop very rapidly and started rotating producing tornadoes. why it is important that people take the warnings very seriously and heed them. we do have a risk for more severe storms today. doesn't appear as the tornado risk was high as yesterday across parts of illinois. we had multiple reports of tornadoes and reports of severe weather as well. this really was a very powerful large storm system. the risk for severe with today stretches across parts of texas and parts of the mid-atlantic and the southeast coast

including parts of the gulf coast. another widespread area looking potentially at bad weather and high winds primary concern but tornadoes can not be ruled out, bill. bill: good to have you out there. do you think our ability at warning is that much better a year later? >> i think, you know, i think it these warnings are issued and unfortunately they can't be issued that far in advance. these storms really don't develop. but forecasters are doing a great job of kind of highlighting areas where environment is favorable for these storms to pop up and start to rotate and produce these tornadoes. that risk was stated already several days in advance across parts of northern illinois, eastern iowa and across missouri of the storms did fire up. bill, it is really tough. if you think about it what forecasters are trying to do, try to tell people where a storm is going to go. sometimes that storm hasn't even formed yet. it is really a tough thing do. but tornado warnings very

critical and important. you have got to heed them. bill: thank you. maria molina there in northern illinois. martha: so the republican presidential hopefuls are visiting the nra convention today in nashville, tennessee. the high-profile event gives them a chance to show support for the second amendment and to rally their base. chief political correspondent carl cameron joins us live from nashville. what is going on there today, carl? >> reporter: one of the things going on obviously here the national rifle association is not at all inthese as tick about the prospects after hillary clinton presidency. we can expect all the republican presidential field to talk about second amendment rights and aspirations for the white house to talk about why hillary clinton shouldn't be here. a number of republican candidates. starts 2:00 local time. 3:00 eastern. it will go throughout the afternoon. they will talk about their belief the second amendment should be upheld and democrats pose a threat to that there are couple potential candidates will not be here.

ran paul one of the declared candidates, is campaigning in iowa and did not seek of invitation from national rifle association. there is rift between the nra and national association of gun rights. all of the republican field have a grades from the nra. next year's convention will be in louisville. they expect rand paul will be attending next year. one of the candidates does not have a rating, that is governor chris christie governor of new jersey. new jersey has gun rights and allowing them to become law he has a c rating from the national rifle association. by and large this is crowd very enthuse as exly inclined to support all of the republican candidates, except hillary clinton the democrat who will be in the race by the end of this coming weekend. martha. martha: we'll hear from you when that gets underway. thanks, carl. bill: sunday sunday, right? while victims much fort hood get their purple hearts there is another battle ahead. >> i happened to be the first one that went through the

reevaluation process. the first one to get the response back but, i'm going to be the first one of many, unless the army fixes this. bill: there is loophole apparently in the law said to deny one of the victim's medical benefits. we'll look at that. martha: hard to believe. iran's supreme leader accusing the white house lying what is in the framework nuclear plan. is this whole thing about to fall apart? bill: newly-released dash-cam video showing moments before the deadly police shooting in south carolina. does this answer any of the questions still outstanding? the mother of the officer accused of murder, now fired, is speaking out. >> i just have to take one day at a time. what will happen will happen. and that's the way it will be.

that way more than five years until members of the texas delegation stepped in and had that rule, that act changed. we'll get you back to fort hood texas. significant day for those families and those victims as we roll on. 16 minutes after the hour. martha: authorities in south carolina releasing dash-cam footage now of the minutes before an officer shoots and kills an unarmed man. it started as a traffic stop that went horribly wrong. here you see the north charleston police officer michael slager, as he walks up to the car to get walter scott's license. he goes back to his cruiser. shortly after that, there is missing video, you saw from the cut in the middle. mr. scott jumped out of his car and started to run across that green area. that is when officer slager chased him down, which we know from the video and killed him shooting him in the back, eight times, according to these charges that have been brought against him.

incredibly sad story on both sides of the image you see on the screen right now. when the cell phone video began that is when we saw slager shooting mr. scott who you see on left-hand side of this. slager now faces murder charges that were leveled immediately by the prosecutor in north charleston. slager's mother is now speaking out saying that she is praying for the scott family. >> i just have to let it be and hope god takes care of everybody involved. not only my family but the scott family. because i know they're graving just like i'm grieving. so, i want them to know that. martha: broken hearts all around in this awful, awful story. let me bring in our panel now. lars larsen is a syndicated radio host on a alpha media networks. leslie mark shall marshal,

indsyndicated radio host and fox news contributor. welcome to you both. this is a terrible story. if there is anything remotely good about this the outpouring that has come from both of these families in terms of the civilized way this has been handled. >> yep. martha: let me play a sound from anthony scott who is walter scott's brother. listen to what he says about this. >> i want to change the cops, not unrest but change the cops. i think this key video not about the money. it is about the change. so that nobody else can go through this same thing. martha: leslie, with this new evidence, the new video, and these folks speaking out, what is your take on this story now? >> well i think that what police are finding, and let me be clear, the overwhelming majority of the police are good and enforce the law. there are people out there especially in the

african-american community who fear based on incidents like this, that there are officers who take the law into their own hands. they say it takes a village. we have a village of cell phones. millions of people, until we have every police officer with body cams. these videos tell a story. everyone including this officer is innoncent until proven guilty even a man running from a police officer getting out of the car. but i think what is happening more and more, people are saying see, some of these incidents are taking place. these pictures, these videos explain our side of the story. with the more conciliatory tone of this situation i'm hopeful that we're moving in the right direction, but i think to bridge that gap between lack of trust and that overreach in law enforcement authority by the very few in the minority in police we have long way to go. martha: thank goodness for the video as leslie says. thank goodness for the video, it tells a story lars, in a big way. >> well -- martha: the police officer called in and said he tried to

steal my taser. we don't see any evidence of that on this video. >> nope. martha: in this case, this is why they brought murder wharges against him right away. >> i hate to rain on leslie's parade. i have a great deal of sympathy for mr. scott and his family and his friends but the officer was charged with murder. and one of the important details that has emerged today that the investigators charged him with murder monday afternoon. the shooting happened saturday. the video only emerged on sunday night and came into the hands of police. martha: think that was because of witnesses on the scene as well. >> well, correct. but here is the thing conclusion that is being drawn. that charges are only being brought because of video. the fact is, the investigators said they charged the officer with murder on monday afternoon because they already knew there was something wrong with this shooting. from the way i look at it, i believe the officer committed murder. i think he is going to be found guilty. he does have a right to his day in court but drawing the conclusion is only this video that made the case is simply not

borne up by the facts. i would like to see every cop in america with video on them, mostly, because it settles a lot of these situations. martha: yeah. >> it will show people who assaulted officers have done that. it will show when officers do across the line and break the law as this officer appears to have. martha: we like to be in a place where it is irrelevant the color of skin of either party because we know there are many black police officers who have been killed in the line of duty and a police officer and a person they're pursuing. in this case it ended horribly, horribly wrong. and we will continue to follow it. thank you very much, leslie. >> you bet. martha: lars thanks for being here. bill: we get ready for hillary clinton. the former first lady officially ready to announce what we thought for a long time, she is running for the white house again but is another democrat already hitting the ground running? ed henry is on the ground with that. he is in iowa today. we'll talk with ed on that.

you will see, not just here at the summit of the americas but also you're going to see this conversation, this dialogue, if you will, bill, continue because the president said very clearly and repeatedly he feels if it hasn't worked in the past, it is time to try something new. that is part of the idea behind re-establishing diplomatic relations with cuba. >> when something doesn't work for 50 years. you don't just keep on doing it. you try something new. [applause] and when he are as committed as ever to supporting human rights and political freedom in cuba and around the world. but i believe that engagement is a more powerful force than isolation and the changes we are making can help improve the lives of the cuban people. >> reporter: and that is the idea. does engagement work in a way isolationism doesn't work? only time will really tell. we've seen some examples where that hasn't necessarily worked out terribly well. we're not certain how this will

play out but the president seems willing, bill, to give it a shot. bill: you have possibility that cuba could be taken off the terror lift. if that is the case, what changes for americans? >> reporter: bill, i lost you there for just a second but i can tell this, meetings are on going. let me point out that the state department has been very active as well. marie harf tweeting that the state department, elite of the state department, secretary of state john kerry meeting with his counterpart in cuba. part of this notion if they somehow get it together diplomatically, re-establishing ties they can move forward in ways they simply haven't seen. we'll have much more later on fox news. bill: kevin corke traveling in panama today. 27 past. martha: fort hood victims finally getting official recognition as victims of terrorism. a ceremony, this is a live shot from fort hood, texas today where they will receive purple

bill: moments ago, sean manning was just given his purple heart. that is something this young man has wanted for nearly five 1/2 years. we could hear a little bit of the audio a moment ago during the commercial break. it is only a buzz coming through right now. fort hood texas this is the moment so many have been waiting for. the medals go to 13 people not there today because they were killed on that day. 32 others injured, when nidal

hasan, an army major about to deploy to afghanistan opened fire inside of the medical processing station november 5th, 2009.ely what i'm hearing right now is the army's not ready or willing to do that yet. i mean we're hoping they change their mind obviously. i mean, i think it is almost unheard of for someone to receive the purple heart and not have their injuries not classified as combat related. bill: that was sean manning from earlier today, explaining he does not get the benefits he expected. fox news legal analyst, peter johnson jr., is here with us this morning. >> nice to see you. bill: could the pentagon have sorted this out through the department of defense, could the commander-in-chief done something about this. >> yes the commander-in-chief before and today could issue a presidential order, a presidential directive, a presidential proclamation saying the intent of congress was clear and that the dozens of people

affected by the fort hood massacre are entitled to the benefits they are accorded under military law and the defense authorization act. in my view, i looked at legislation. i looked at the memorandum sent to sean manning which in my mind is an outrage and absolute injustice and the president could remedy it today. the folks who were murdered the folks who were injured and maimed forever their survivors should not be penalized by a political decision that refuses to recognize the potency of islamic terrorism, or that we had a terror attack at a military base that probably could have been prevented based on the conduct of the fbi and the executive branch. bill: two other issues. you mentioned the law. this is what it says in part. nowhere in the act does it offer combat benefits for servicemembers permanently disabled in attacks inspired or motivated by foreign terrorist

organizations. that is how it relates to sean manning. it continues. the board has no authority to award designation to soldiers disabled during the fort hood attack. he will continue to fight that. >> he is. there will be a hearing and probably go to court. it shouldn't have to. as sean manning goes all of the other folks similarly situated will be heard. in this is not within the spirit or the intent. we'll hear from the senators and the congressman on the scene there today. i'm sure you will ask the question, what was the intent of this law? for the white house and the pentagon to say, that we will give you the purple heart emblazenned with george washington's image. it goes back to george washington the purple heart, but we will not give you the money for the damages that you suffered or for the personal injury or for the shortening of a leg or for the psychological disability. two people have died by suicide of the group that were affected on that day since then?

where is the white house on this? how can this be allowed to stand? bill: legally you raised the right question, what was the intent. now as you look back at this event, almost six years later and the phrase of workplace violence that was assigned for five 1/2 years. >> yeah. bill: you're six years into the administration does the phrase take on some different meaning or interpretation or understanding how the administration looks at events like these at home or abroad? >> sure. you can we can decipher what the white house's intent was allegedly at some point in the past. they're worried about the arab spring. they were worried about not inflaming the arab community. they would never dare utter the words that we have uttered this morning but now not only have people died as a result of it, is there a tangible economic effect, these solers and their families are being punished by a

political determination. i believe the intent of the legislation is clear. if you get the purple heart. you're entitled to the survivor benefits, and the personal injury benefits then you get those. to say that sean manning and everyone else, you can't have those, and you will have another hearing, the hearing really is to what we stand for in america. that is the hearing that is boeing to be held in this country. if the president can't put pen to paper today and he can for illegal immigration and whole host of other issues what are the soldiers fighting for. bill: nidal hasan later confirmed he had contact with anwar al-awlaki, born in america. convicted and killed sentenced to die in august of 2013. currently on death row in for the leavenworth, kansas. his case is working its way through the automatic appeals process. >> bill, i can't help but think they're being punished. >> they're suing the federal

government for a billion dollars based on the federal government did for failing to prevent this attack. is this bundled? are they being held hostage to their lawsuit? i hope not. that is not the america that we understand. bill: thank you peter johnson, jr., in studio as we watch events in fort hood. thank you. martha: back to 2016 news we go. and the waiting game is finally over, fox news is just confirming that hillary clinton will launch her presidential campaign and it will start this weekend. she will then head directly to iowa, according to the reports, but she will not be alone in the hawkeye state. former maryland governor martin o'malley potential challenger is already there and making his presence felt there. white house correspondent ed henry live for us in des moines. you just confirmed the hillary clinton news for us. what do we know? >> reporter: we're hearing from democratic sources they have been told to prepare for hillary

clinton officially announcing sunday afternoon. there is a lot of different times floating around but at some point likely on sunday afternoon. she will go on social media have some sort of video, introducing, reintroducing i should say herself to voters. rather quickly we'll get dates in iowa here on the ground dealing with voters one-on-one. going to the media i will fight for every vote. why does she need to do that, mart that? remember she was inevitable democratic nominee in 2007 and 2008. she didn't come in second but she came in third in iowa behind barack obama and john edwards. they know despite inevitability factor she has a lot of work to do. another nugget i've been told by democratic sources the candidate has been behind closed doors on policy meetings, isis, iran nuclear deal, health care. she wants to bone up. she has been off the campaign trail for a long time. they know she has to get ready

martha. martha: she has to get ready. the inevitability question looks less clear than the polls we're seeing this morning. what about governor o'malley how serious of a potential contender could he be? >> reporter: he could be very serious. i will talk to him in couple hours. we'll have the sound on fox in the afternoon. you have jim webb former virginia senator. he has been in iowa the last 24 hours on the ground as well. why do they have hope? when you talk to their advisors, they tell me look, this new quinnepiac university poll yesterday saying 49% of voters here in iowa do not believe hillary clinton is honest and trustworthy. that is very difficult for a candidate to beat no matter how inevitable you may be. bottom line i was at a bar with martin o'malley. he likes to play the guitar and sing irish music. what do you think about him? who o'malley. i'm here because it is thursday night. this is my bar on thursday night. why are you here, she said? who is o'malley?

we sit here spend all time focusing on candidates. a lot of voters don't know them yet. in fairness to o'malley he is introducing himself. it reminds us hillary clinton is far far ahead of these folks despite any weaknesses she has. she has way more than anybody. martha: needs to buy everybody in the bar a pint, getting his name more well-known. ed, thank you very much. bill: ed henry, i was in a bar last night. yes you were. martha: you don't need to share that. bill: i was in des moines that night when barack obama beat her. the moment in that hotel when they realized they had finished third hillary clinton, husband bill, terry mcauliffe core of their team. martha: huge. bill: immediately went into hibernation trying to figure out what to do. you saw what happened after that straight into new hampshire when she won. martha: and tears that follow. we remember it well. bill: that's right. 20 minutes before the hour. iran's supreme leader blasting the nuclear deal. what he is saying as the senate

gets ready to take action. republican senator mike lee is our guest next to answer it live. martha: a plan to shore up colorado's budget with marijuana sales going up in smoke. why legalized pot is not exactly helping the bottom line. go figure. ♪

bill: the plan to save colorado's budget by way of marijuana revenue not happening. only $69 million raised. they expected twice that amount. because of quirk in the state constitution they may have to refund the money. however colorado lawmakers pushing a measure to allow the state to keep the pot tax money as a budget boost. martha: well, iran is throwing more cold water on this nuclear deal. ayatollah khamenei accusing the obama administration of quote lying exactly what the terms of the framework agreement really

are. he also said that the united states has devilish intentions in this whole deal. the harsh rhetoric comes as the senate is preparing to vote on legislation that will push back against any deal. mike lee is the author of the new book, our lost constitution, and he joins us now. of course the republican senator from utah. good to have you here today. >> thank you, martha. martha: here is a phrase i thought i would never utter on television. here is the latest tweet from the ayatollah. okay? let's take a look at it. here is what he says. hours after the hashtag talks americans offer ad fact sheet most of it was contrary to what we agreed. they always deceive and breach their promises he says. he went on to say in a public speech, on national day of nuclear technology in tehran, that there will be absolutely no inspections that will be allowed in this deal and that there is no deal unless we immediately lift all the sanctions. what do you say senator?

>> well this adds to the concern that i have about these negotiations about the condition of the purported deal and whether or not there is a deal at all. i'm often asked whether i support this deal. and my response is frequently i don't know whether i support it, because i don't know what it is. martha: yeah. >> in fact at this point i'm uncertain whether there is an it at all. >> so we also hear people chiming in don't listen to exactly what the ayatollah khamenei, the supreme leader says because this is the way they bargain this is the way they negotiate, to sort of throw out something that is untenable. then we'll get back to the table because it is just a framework and the final deal will look much different. what do you think about that argument? >> well it is one thing to talk about a framework deal about a set of principles that they want to try to@taken, to build into an agreement. it is another thing to have an actual agreement. one of the concerns that i've had all along with this, with

the framework that has been outlined by the white house is that i don't understand why we would be willing, as a country to lift sanctions against the iranians, absent, any kind of a achievement of the milestones. in other words if they're going to comply with the agreement, perhaps lifting of sanctions ought to be offered after compliance has been achieved by iran, rather than before. that is a concern. martha: i mean it is so preposterous when you look at this. would it be unreasonable for us to enter into an agreement and say gee, we would like your leader to stop saying death to america and leading people in death to america chants and maybe we'll lift sanctions? it is not even discussed, things along those terms. that is outrageous. >> it would not be enruinable on our part and one could argue that it is unreasonable not to demand that and that they stop about talking about wiping our most important ally in the middle easast off the map. these are of grave concern to

me. i know they're of grave concern to many of my colleagues and people across america. martha: how do these grave concerns translate in terms of legislation? how close are republican senators to having a deal that could actually push back if this is passed if this agreement is passed? >> i think we're getting closer around closer to where we might see passage of something like the corker-menendez bill. it is difficult to say exactly what form that will take at the end of the day. members of the senate are growing more and more frustrated every day with the state of these discussions. and they're also growing more and more concerned with the ramifications that could follow from a deal, if a deal is in fact achieved along these lines. one that doesn't require iran to do anything, as a condition precedent for having any sanctions lifted. martha: remains to be seen if the senate has the 67 votes it would take to override. do you think they do? >> i think it is entirely

possible. and it is a moving target at this point. so it is difficult to say. i think we're very, very close to where we could have 67 votes to override something along these lines. martha: we'll see. >> and, whether or not we get over the 67-vote threshold will depend on details we don't yet have access to. it is important for to us remember that congress does have a role to play here both in the legislation, legislative framework that allows the president to have discretion in lifting sanctions. and we also ave to remember the constitutional requirement that if what he negotiates is tantamount to a treaty a treaty has to be ratified by 2/3 of senate. martha: senator mike lee from utah. good to have you here, sir. >> thank you. bill: special delivery out of amazon that is out of this world. wait until you hear from the company's founder around what he is up to next. ♪

bill: so the amazon founder jeff bezos says that his space company, blue origin, is set to begin unmanned test flights a bit later in the year. at first it is designed to fly 62 miles above the earth's surface. that is significant. we have senior advisor for space programs at intrepid museum and professor of columbia engineering school here in new york. nice to see you pal. how are you. >> hi, bill. bill: branson is in on it. elon musk is in on it. i want to know whether or not it is becoming easier with all these guys? >> i think it is becoming more hopeful. this is not an easy thing to do. i think it is hopeful where nasa led the way, the government led the way putting people into
