clintons. there is a feeling inside the clinton camp that this will be a bruising fight. bill: john boehner was asked about her e-mails and this is what he said. >> what's he going to do for america? it's not about personalities. i think the fact that she won't turn over her server, the fact that she ignored the law, those questions are going continue to haunt her until she comes clean. bill: he says she ignored the law when she was secretary of state. >> it's talking about the federal records act. there is over 30,000 e-mails she
6:06 am
deleted. she claims they were of a personal nature. but the benghazi committee is demanding an independent arbiter to look at that server. she is here in new hampshire for the first time officially as a candidate the next few days dealing with the democratic primary which frankly is not much of a primary. no one is nearer in the polls. will the e-mail situation will this new book, will that be more damaging to her than any other democratic rivals. >> martha: 30 christians shown being shot and some being

definition of what they mean and don't mean. the white house has a way of telling us everything depend on the definition of everything, including the definition of "is." we won't know until he send it to congress. bill: pa what is your best guess? is there something there or not? >> he will always be something -- there will always be something. he will send even a bad deal down to congress because he wants to blame congress for doing it. i think it's the highest probability result that the president couples with a bad deal. send it to congress and congress turns it down. bill: we'll see if that's the case and lindsey graham would be right in the end?

symbolic in anyway. it's not declared parts of the caliphate on one hand or central to the future of iraq. the issue is not brick and mortar it's about defeating isil. i would much rather ramadi not fall but it won't be the end of a campaign should it fall. we have got to get it back. martha: many people shook their heads at many parts that statement. in an open letter his mother writes my son and many optsers gave hair lives in a mafdy. you owe an apology. a hadi matsers to us and is very symbolic to us she writes. k.f. mcfarland served in the
6:34 am
reagan administration and she is a fox news analyst. sort of unthinking words on the part of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. strategically and personally. >> she said i was rip-roaring mad. america's leaders our american and civilian leaders took to us war. they took us two wars and they lost those wars and they are continuing to lose those wars. instead apologizing they are saying its many not that important. it's not of strategic value to us. they took our kids to war. not their kids usual live. somebody else's kids. and those kids will pay the price for the rest their lives. they will have life-long injuries mental and physical injuries. they will have to live with that
6:35 am
for the rest of their lives. they will have to live with the empty place at the table. i'm just outraged when our leaders come back to us and say it's not that important. i went through the same thing during vietnam we lost that war and our political and military leaders never after he poll jietsed. the worst thing they blame the military for it. at least we are not doing that now. but we are not taking care of them. martha i think the important thing to say to anybody who says to me my son died in vain. my daughter was sacrificed. maybe we lost vietnam, maybe we lost to iraq, maybe we are going to lose afghanistan. the united states constitution says we have civilian control of the military. at least our men and women in
6:36 am
uniform proudly carried out that sons constitution and that's what you have to say to them. their a krif files was not in vain because it kept this country free. martha: you can't help but wonder -- he's towing the white house line. he's a military leader. he's the commander of the outchiefs of staff. he's the person everybody out there is look to to have direction from. even if you want some say -- even the argument on a very sort of technical level that ramadi doesn't matter. the capital of anbar province that isis is able to get a foothold in that area. how could he possibly argue that ramadi does not matter? >> they are not going to win that battle for ramadi so they
6:37 am
will say it's not important anyway. somebody should just level with the american people. they screwed this up. and what are they continuing to do? they more warrived about spin control and the a krif files of the american people in blood and treasure. i think he should apologize at a minimum. martha: do you think heel until. >> never explain never complain is the man from in washington. -- is the mantra in washington. bill: tim tebow plans to around the nfl. he's expected to sign a one-year deal with the eagles today. tebow was released by the new

england patriots but that was priesh to the 2013 season beginning. tim tebow gets a second chance. a shot at redemption, mccallum. what do you think? i thought he did pretty well last time. he had a chance to learn little bit more. obviously they have an offense in mind. martha: a huge opportunity for him. we hope he makes the best of it. a mayor storm on the 2016 campaign trail. a stunning book with hillary clinton on defense and her republican challengers pouncing. how big of an impact will it have? bill: we'll talk to the woman behind "i wish my typier

martha: islamic militants launching another attack. a bomb planted on a bus carrying u.n. workers. we are told most of the victims in the attack were foreigners. the al qaeda-linked group al-shabaab claiming responsibility. bill: hillary clinton will be forced to respond to a new book that some think will harm her campaign. it claims foreign contributions made her -- made to her
6:43 am
foundation run by her and her husband. we are looking into this issue but the story as dropped last night from the "new york times," the "times" asserts foreign entities that made payments through high speaking fee received favorable commitments from hillary clinton in return. does this matter? if so, how much? >> hillary clinton wants to be a champion of the people, her record is going show maybe she was a champion for foreign governments to make herself rich. the clintons took in $136 million in personal income. a lot of that income came from foreign governments. a lot of those foreign governments also donated to the clinton foundation.
6:44 am
the key question is -- lots politicians have gone to prison for much less. did hillary clinton do political favors as the secretary of state for foreign leaders who donated to her foundation or who paid her husband for speeches during her time as secretary of state. the "new york times" says it's it's based on extensive reporten and documentation. it will poe problem for her campaign despite them saying it's a vast right-wing conspiracy. address what katie said about creating huge headaches and problems for the clinton campaign. >> the more republicans and
6:45 am
others attack hillary clinton the less likely they are to win the white house back. people have to get to know and like you first. that's what hillary clinton is focused on. she is campaigning on the kind of things she cares about. these accusations are being made by republicans who don't have the standing she does and anonymous others. they are more likely to believe hillary clinton on what she has to say about this. they all attacked her rather than presents a positive view herself. hillary clinton is presenting a positive view of what she's going to focus on, middle class families and middle class problems and economic inequality. bill: her campaign will say this is a hit job right?
6:46 am
>> peter's former book was called "throw them all out." it was about those who benefit from wall street. he has take on republicans and democrats. he's not only gone after democrats, he has done work with 60 minute * and a -- 0 minute * -- 60 minutes on a lot of the work. bill: you just heard mary anne said it's a hit job. >> just because something looks unfavable to the clintons doesn't mean it's a hit job. according to the "new york times" there are serious
6:47 am
questions about whether hillary clinton as secretary of state did political favors in return for donations to foreign governments to her own personal income and the foundation. >> if you want to understand how campaigns work and presidential campaigns. look at mitt romney. what happened to him is what would have to happen to hillary clinton for to it work. the facts matter. let's see what the facts are. bill: what's romney to do with this? >> we have to understand when information comes out how it affects the presidential campaign. everyone tries to define their opponents. but it doesn't work early in the campaign. you have to wait and marry it up to what he did with firing people. the 47% video came out and
6:48 am
that's what worked. bill: june of 2014 when then secretary clinton said this about their condition financially when they left the white house. >> you have no reason to remember with but we came out of the white house not only dead broke, but in debt. we had no money when we got there, and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses or chelsea's education. it was not easy. bill has worked really hard and it's been amazing to me. bill: the washington report reports the clintons made $13 million over 11 years. when you look at that comment what happens to the argument of the hardships they have gone through. do they relate or not? >> i don't think they relate at
6:49 am
all. if you look at polling it shows people believe hillary clinton's idea are out of date and they want someone new. you have a lot of democrats and independents saying they want a primary candidate. this is a matter of ethics and legality. americans do care about ethics and integrity. based on the reporting it's not looking like they have a lot of that. bill: 10 seconds mary anne. >> you need to understand how campaigns work. i expect we'll have 18 months of discussion like today. bill: fox news will investigate the allegations in this book. an hour-long special airs this week. we'll follow the money find out where it came from and where it went and how it may or may not

6:54 am
have a friend to play with me. -- i wish my teacher knew i don't have a friend to play with me. what was your reaction to what they wrote? >> some of it was heartbreak by the am not shocking. we have so many kids in our country, 70% of kids in denver schools live in poverty. some of what they wrote was insightful and some was a symptom of what kids experience in skill everywhere. martha: you gave them the opportunities to do it anonymously or they were allowed to stand up in class and read them. most of them did that, right? >> they could share the or keep
6:55 am
it private. and the students also knew of i was going to be taking pictures of them and putting them on twitter. so the kids who wanted to share did. and when they spared with the class, when they shared with their community some struggles they were facing the community stepped up. those students rallied around each other and supported each other. martha: i saw a little girl who said one of the children had no one pono -- to play with, i sit with her every day. one was i wish my teacher knew my reading log isn't signed because my mom is not around a lot. i wish my teacher didn't give us so much homework in math.
6:56 am
>> if you let kids have a voice and decide what they want to tell you they will be honest with you. kids are honest, they are vulnerable. i heard from teachers the world over and from students that they are able to reach out to their teachers and build that sense of community and relationships in that classroom. martha: it's no surprise one of them wrote i wish my teacher knew how much i love school because you are their teacher. i hope i have a fantastic career. they are look lucky to have you as a teacher. bill: we are awaiting a news conference on terror arrests from the f.b.i. there is this.

7:00 am
martha: so we are waiting a news conference on sweeping terror raids in two states. six people arrested in san diego and in minneapolis, for either going to syria or trying to go to join isis. the u.s. attorney's office and the fbi will announce the brand new details coming up. we'll get to that as soon as it gets underway about 30 minutes from now. first isis releasing new video of brutal execution apparently targeting christians again for death simply because of their faith. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom," everyone. i'm marth maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. video appears them beheading one
7:01 am
group and shooting another. the white house announcing violence. the united states condemns in the strongest terms the brutal mass murder of reportedly ethiopian christians by isil-affiliated terrorists in libya. that these terrorists killed these men solely because of their faith lays bare the terrorists, vicious senseless brutality. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with more from that in washington d.c. what are we learning about the tape? 29 minutes in length. what else, catherine. >> reporter: thank you bill good morning. an intelligence source telling fox news the focus is on identity of the executioner who speaks with a north american accent. this appears to be the same voice used in mass executions in february. because his face is covered and. whether the voice is dubbed over or whether a north american is leading executions in libya.
7:02 am
portions of the 29 minute video appeared to be digitally altered drawing attention to these scenes on the beach where the cam mow-clad isis militants appear elongated. there are also anomalies that green screen technology may have been used. lawmakers are sounding the alarm. >> isis is growing and growing idealogically. they're growing in libya. they're growing in afghanistan. terrorism is on the move and we're not, we do not have an effective strategy to stop it right now. >> reporter: while the analysis is ongoing, fox news was told there is really nothing at this point to doubt the tape's authenticity bill. bill: catherine herridge leading the coverage on that today. martha has more. martha: we'll bring in pete hegseth, concerned veterans of america, a veteran himself and of course fox news contributor. good morning. >> good morning. martha: every time they do something like this they have a
7:03 am
strategy, something they want to accomplish. what does this prove on how they're growing in libya? >> both execution scenes took place reportedly in eastern and southern libya. taken together with the individual grow from western libya and sent to iraq and syria to be compiled by their media team it belie as sophistication and coordination between isis central in iraq and syria and libya which we've known to be increasingly a powder keg of chaos, but we weren't quite sure how sophisticated some of the isis elements were there. the coordination video and putting it together the way they have is symbol to demonstrate as they say in the audio of emerges force in libya taking advantage of that chaos. if you want watched, only two or three minutes are the actual execution. it's a 30 minute video about the interaction between islam and christianity. this is 100% a religious holy war. when we don't recognize it that
7:04 am
way we do our service a great disservice. martha: they have been very clear about that let's put up a map to talk about how it effects widening circles of area of influence. this happened in libya as we say, but happened to ethiopians. this makes ethiopia, part of iraq, syria kenya ethiopia circle affected by this. if you look at yemen on the other side of the gulf of aden and red sea this is incredibly strategic point in the middle east and ethiopia does not have a whole lot to come back at them militarily pete. >> no he, they don't. these were migrants. these were christians, christians specifically targeted because of their faith. libya is critical because it allows a transit point from africa, to and from europe to the battlefields just like turkey facilitates a lot of movement into syria. these are important transit

points. this is critical, these were christians killed because they're christians. this is an enemy doing this because of their supposed and complete belief. these are folks we have to remember how different isis is, can not be negotiated with, will not be negotiated with, like other radical islamic groups that became more political in orientation with political ends, isis has a apocalyptic viewpoint that requires them being killed, not negotiated with. so as they expand more and more, it makes the problem more and more difficult about defeating an enemy that is inherently dedicated to that very expansion. martha: you can't help by look back at history pete, when you see this, think about the holocaust and think about the horrors that were revealed after world war ii largely. but this is a slaying, for religious reasons that we are watching thanks to these videos play out in real time. >> you talk about history, that is grounded completely in history. why a lot of the beheaded heads from the video put into the
7:06 am
ocean? it is because they want to mix the ocean with blood of their martyr, usama bin laden who was thrown over the aircraft carrier by americans who thankfully but a pull let -- bullet in his head. they're trying to level the -- video they made. refers back to jesus and biblical time. that is the line of their memory and extent to they view this as a battle between the islamic caliphate and the people of the cross. that is the verbage they use. people. cross christians. if they will not pay a tax, these ethiopians pay a tax, convert to islam they didn't. therefore they were beheaded. which the islamic state believes is proper judgment anyone unwilling to convert to religion of their version of islam. martha: certain centuries certain strains. thank you very much, pete. good to see you. >> thank you, martha. >> this is developing in

7:08 am
the complex st distribution point. here is how the chairman of the joint chiefs described its importance. >> this is part of the iraqi oil infrastructure. once the iraqis have full control of baiji they will have full control over all their i oil infrastructure, both north and side and deny isis the ability to generate revenue through oil. baiji is the target. >> iraqi security forces were aided by coalition airstrikes. over the past nine days the coalition conducted 47 airstrikes in and around baiji according to a coalition statement which clearly made all the difference. from the military perspective iraqis are back in control but there are some isis fighters we're told still believed to be in the complex. bill: we're hearing a about a development in the case after car bombing that took place near the u.s. con so you late in northern iraq. what happened there jennifer?

bill: meet a family that says they are happy no one hurt. lightning struck their home in florida. lightning struck the roof on fire. friday most of the electronics. you see burn marks around light switches and thermostats and smoke detectors there. >> i guess it was about 8:15, i want to say. and, boom. i mean, kaboom! and, so, that is how our sunday morning started. >> i was sleeping when it hit. my wife says i slept through it. bill: typical. you believe that? kaboom! the family is looking for another place to live while repairs are being made. they thank the fire department their neighbors from responding so quickly. martha: race for 2016, sweeping battleground new hampshire this weekend. republican hopefuls flooded leadership summit with one main theme in general, pin it down. the theme for change was
7:15 am
emerging theme they talked about from the candidates on stage who take aim they all did really, at both president obama and hillary clinton. >> we have a president that is has eviscerated our military capabilities and withdrawn america from the world because he believes we are the cause of these problems, not the solution to these problems. >> we want something new. we want new leadership to change the page and to turn around. you know the democratic version of this, i'm pretty sure is hillary clinton having a conversation with a chipolte clerk. >> this is the first president in the post-world war ii era that does not believe that america's presence in the world as a leader and america's power in the world is a force for good. i do. i hope you do as well. [applause] >> i'm starting to worry that when hillary clinton travels there need to be two planes, one for her entourage and one for her baggage. [laughter] martha: paul got a big laugh line out of that one.
7:16 am
brit hume, joins me fox news senior political analyst. good to see you. >> thanks, martha. nice to see. >> new hampshire is obviously a seat of all the action during the course of the weekend. you look back what you saw and heard what is your takeaway? >> almost, i don't know what is the takeaway. in fact i have the greatest sympathy for the reporters who were covering that weekend event because they were trying to find a thread a theme a development news. out of it. and there really wasn't any. nobody did extremely and exceedingly well and wowed the audience more than almost everybody else it seems. nobody made a pratfall. and, you know, this unbelievably unwieldy number of candidates. i read all the stories. all had different threads they tried to weave. the truth is there wasn't much of a thread available. looks like they all held up pretty well. could you say that attacking hillary was a common theme
7:17 am
although not all of them did that all that much. but that is about it, i'm afraid. martha: so when you look at this pool, i mean, you look at polls they're all within points of each other at this point. >> oh, yeah. martha: in terms of jeb bush and the things that he is talking about, some grief from some conservatives what he said about ver the weekend. a president has the right to pick his attorney general. at least she is not eric holder. that ought to make people happy. common core is programmatic for him. he may in some ways the one standing out as most different from the pack. >> that may be so. he departed from current republican orthodoxy as you suggested on common core. he does the same on immigration. i'm not sure that what he said about loretta lynch is really a departure because, she is, the votes are there to confirm her. she will be confirmed. there is some political hard ball being played in the senate has to do with a antihuman
7:18 am
trafficking bill that is ahead of loretta lynch's nomination on the schedule. and democrats are not going along with some old abortion language been voted on and voted postively any number of times. why they're trying to make a stand on that is unclear but that is holding up the nomination. for him to say she deserves a vote seems to me pretty much republican boilerplate although may be a matter of emphasis. he may stand apart from the field. he will not attack his rivals. he says he is not going to. he had a pretty conservative record as republican governor. what stands out in the minds of many conservative activists today. it is not that. his unorthodox stand on other two issues i should mention. martha: play more tape from the weekend this is chris christie. >> if anybody comes up on this stage and wants to talk to you about national defense, wants to talk to you about education research around development tax cuts or anything else involving the federal government, you
7:19 am
should ask them what they are going to do on entitlements. if they're not doing something to fix that problem, we'll not be able to deal with any of the other problems or opportunities that we have in this country. martha: did he put himself back in the running this weekend, brit? >> it is an interesting, he kind of through the long ball on that. entitle programs are terribly important. they are a major problem. they're a massive item within the budget. they're a big cause of the fact that we're borrowing all this money all the time. and, he is stuck his neck out. i'm tempted to say good for him because this is an issue one way or another will have to be addressed. the problem of course is, that you look at a state like florida, where republicans have to win. the place is loaded with people who collect social security and medicare and so on. and, you mentioned those two things as a candidate and people get nervous. even though you exempt all current retirees from your plan
7:20 am
to curb the growth of those entitlement programs. chris christie is talking about raising retirement age. that may be a necessary and good idea, and it may win him some points monk conservatives at least some conservatives but may hurt him with others. that might be the most newsworthy thing that happened all weekend is that chris christie stuck his neck out on entitlements. >> prompting people to think about it and talk about it out there as well. >> right. you bet martha. bill: 20 minutes past the hour. a murder suspect charging a police officer. entire episode captured on video by the officer's body camera. here is part of that. now. >> shoot me. shoot me. >> i will shoot you. back up. back the [bleep] up. >> that officer is a marine who fought in the iraq war. now being praised for his restraint and quote, maturity. we'll show you how this
7:21 am
confrontation ends in a moment. martha: runaway cart runs circles around the police. how it got here and what it took to get that thing under control. this is why we have to keep driving our own cars. that is the problem. ♪ it's more than a network and the cloud. it's reliable uptime. and multi-layered security. it's how you stay connected to each other and to your customers. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions,

bill: police officer in ohio, his terrifying encounter with a double murder suspect is captured on his body camera. you will see 50 seconds of this. the officer, a marine who fought in iraq, now being praised for keeping his cool as the man charged him. repeatedly begging to be shot on sight. watch.
7:25 am
bill: wow. suspect eventually surrendered and was arrested in the end. no shots fired. the judge andrews napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst. the new richmond, ohio, officer, jessie kitter marine from iraq
7:26 am
war. new richmond is east of cincinnati, ohio. >> area you know well, southwestern part of the state. >> you watched this a number of times. >> i'm happy for this young police officer. probably relying on some stressful experiences in the military as well as his training in the police officer did the right thing. i am unhappy this is considered remarkable and praise worthy. this should be standard operating procedure. this should be the outcome all the time. and one of the reasons i suggest to you was the outcome is because he knew that he was wearing a body camera. and he knew there would be no justification for killing that guy, or even shot shoot at him unless he present ad weapon or presented more serious than suicide by cop. bill: i read one report, where the dispatcher may have informed the officer that he wanted to die. as a victim of suicide by cop, is what the phrase is used here. but the value of the camera,
7:27 am
judge, can not be overrated do you believe? >> i do. i do. do you remember, a phenomenon not too long ago when police were arresting people who were standing beside a crime scene, taking pictures of it. the courts threw that out. you can take a picture of police performing their jobs in the public. we've gone 180 degrees from that. we go to the police take the picture. if the police have not taken the picture here, we would have never known if there was lawful basis to shoot him or not. bill: police divisions are buying more cameras. we're now entering a phase in american life, where the dash-cam video perhaps was more common 10 years ago. now, we are going to see this. as a judge and you can be very familiar with law enforcement for most of your adult life. >> yes. bill: how does that change the game now. >> i think it changes radically. i tried maybe, hundreds, maybe
7:28 am
more than a thousand cases where the cop the light was red and defendant said it was green. you go on your gut instinct who is more believable. with the camera you can see the truth. camera at a bad angle you will account for that. but in a case like this we know truthfully and precisely what happened. any testimony to the contrary would not be believed. the camera is extremely helpful. at my end of things, from the judicial end of things figuring out what happened and was there justification for deadly force. >> when you look at incidents like these, it is a reminder about what your rights are as a citizen if you were to be pulled over. >> yes. most people don't know what their rights are because the situation is very intimidating. even i who hold myself out as an expert, knowing what people's rights are can get intimidated
7:29 am
when being pulled over by the police. you do not have to answer any questions. you can get out of your car if you want. you can stay in your car if you want. you have to show them drives license registration, insurance period. bill: good stuff. there might have been a misplay of video. we wanted to show jesse kidder from new richmond, ohio. because of what he did 27-year-old michael wilcox is alive today. >> will get a fair trial instead after wished for execution in the streets. bill: thank you judge. martha, what is next? martha: thanks guys. so we're waiting for this news conference on the six terrorism arrests that happened over the weekend. fbi and federal prosecutors about to announce brand new details on the suspects in these two states allegedly trying to join isis. bill: all right. that is coming up here. also a well-known family name. is that going to be a problem for governor jeb bush? what his brother said about that very question. >> i don't want a coronation on
7:30 am
our side by any stretch of the imagination. >> i don't see any coronation coming my way. come on. what are you seeing that i'm not seeing?
7:31 am
7:32 am
7:33 am
martha: the u.s. attorney's office and the fbi announcing details of a counterterrorism operation over the weekend. very big news today. six people arrested in minnesota and california this time. news conference set to get away in minneapolis. we'll bring that to you as soon as they get started. bill: jeb bush saying he will make up his mind in relatively short order whether or not he will run for the white house. meantime he is wrestling with the shadow of his family trying to play down any talk of a family dynasty. his brother, admitting it could be a liability for him on the trail. quote, easy line to say haven't we had enough bushes. after all my mother said that yes, that is why you won't see me out there end quote.
7:34 am
ed rollins, ronald reagan campaign manager in 1984. joe trippi was howard dean's campaign manager in 2000. both are fox news contributors. it is monday, gentlemen welcome back ed, what do you think about number 43's comments? >> exactly accurate. i think there is a lot of people in the republican party who would like to move on. jeb was an extraordinary governor and extraordinary candidate. he is not getting baton passed easily. he may win it by the end of the day. he has a long ways to go. is there concern that will he have same foreign policy agenda his brother has. his father is a little distant. people say we don't have a dynasty. we want to pass the baton to a new generation. running against hillary clinton is rehash. i think he can still win it. several others can win it too. bill: joe, go on record, what did you think of the comment back and forth? >> i think there are some liabilities obviously.
7:35 am
but i also think look, comes with strength. the donor base he inherits. he built some of it himself. the donor base, supporters, that he disv activists have been there are to the bush family. that helps him in the primary. the other thing people are looking past, yes people perceived have their own perceived notions who jeb bush is because of george bush, both of them. he is different than both of them. he is really is. there is a chance he could surprise people. get them to go, not the guy i thought he was. hillary can't. bill: why is that. >> people have people have preconceder motion of her but they're hers. jeb bush a lot of preconceived notions about him or his brother, they have differences. different tiles. he has got a record of his own. and so, look, i think he is
7:36 am
more -- bill: a long record, right? >> absolutely. i think he is more threatening to me as democrat i worry a lot more about him than -- bill: ed, interesting. what about that? what about the advantages he has? >> he is business establishment candidate. he has a tremendous fund-raising base. already put in play. he has a lot of operatives across the country. he has an extraordinary record. he won excess 55% twice in florida which is critical state for us. my sense is, never underestimate. he is the best politician of all the bushes. the father wasn't a great campaigner. and george w. was not a great campaigner although he won twice. this is likeable, personable guy. a big policy wonk. to a certain extent will grow on people as he goes forward. i say all that. there is a whole lot of republicans in the race don't want him. he will get beat up pretty good. bill: how prevalent do you think
7:37 am
that last thought is, ed? >> i think it is pretty prevalent at this point in time. as time goes on and he emerges, people paint him as moderate. he had some progressive positions. to a certain extent you have to hear what he is about. the problem, you have 19 people on a stage as we had over this last weekend. there are too many. get down to six or seven that matter. he will will be one of three or four finalists in the race. you make your judgment who and what he is. bill: what about that, joe. >> i still think this will come down to jeb bush and somebody else from the rest of this field. until it gets there, and whoever those two are, those two finalists are winnowed down to two, fight it out that is when we'll know. >> agree with him. bill: his brother said you have to work for it. campaign something hard. it is hard for a reason because it's a test how you are under pressure. i like what 43 said about living in the white house. living in museum. it is cold. not your furniture. it is jefferson's turn tough. we'll leave it there. thank you ed and joe.
7:38 am
see you next monday. >> the minneapolis now where we are hearing the beginnings of this news conference announcing arrests over the weekend. let's listen. >> with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to isil. four of the defendants were arrested yesterday in minnesota and will appear this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. in federal court in st. paul. their names are adnan fara. zachariah abdul rahman. two others were arrested in san diego yesterday morning. and will appear later today there in federal court. they are mohammed farah and rahman darud they were in all from minnesota and part of the same conspiracy. the criminal complaint explains charges and many of the facts detailing the conspiracy. with me today is fbi special
7:39 am
agent in charge is rick thornton who will provide information about the operation and the investigation that led to yesterday's arrests. each of those charged in the criminal complaint is presumed innocent. the charges i about to explain are allegations. each of those charged in the criminal complaint participated in a criminal conspiracy over the last 10 months. our offices have dedicated enormous resources during the past year to investigating a large group of friends and relatives who have been meeting with one simple goal in mind. as the complaint makes clear, this group is committed to joining isil by any means possible. the men charged today are part of that group. they have spent a great deal of time over the past year trying to get to syria to fight for isil. they have tried to leave the united states from our airport
7:40 am
here in minnesota from jfk airport in new york by bus by car, and by any means possible. ascribed in the complaint some members of their group have succeeded but many have been stopped by law enforcement and have been unable to travel to syria. the defendants are friends. they met regularly to plan their secretive trips to syria through a variety of means. these six defendants are part of a broader group that includes minnesota tans, some of home are already familiar to all of you. hams is a ahmed, indicted by a federal grand jury in february was part of this group. he along with mohammed fara, mossa and abdul rahman tried to get to syria taking a grain hound bus to jfk airport last november. after being stopped and despite ahmed's indictment, these three
7:41 am
defendants continued to try to get to syria to join isil. abdul yousef, who already pled guilty to conspiring to join isil was also a part of the group as was his friend, abdi nour. yousef was stopped last may to join isil from the minneapolis st. paul airport. nour unfortunately made to syria where today he is active recruiter for isil. based on information in the complaint these defendant along with ahmed, yousef, noor, and others recruited each other. supported each other's efforts to get to syria, helped each other with funding and worked exclusively and extensively to come up with the best travel arrangements. on multiple occasions members of the group were stopped from traveling to syria. their plans were disrupted, and the consequences of their actions were made clear to them. yet they continued.
7:42 am
gulad for example, was stopped multiple times from traveling. but what is remarkable about this case is that nothing stopped these defendants from pursuing their foal. they never -- goal. they never stopped plotting another way to get to syria to join isil. they were not confused young men. they were not easily influenced. these are focused men, who are intent on joining a terrorist organization by any means possible. people often asked who is doing the terror recruiting in minnesota and when will we catch the person responsible? but it is not that simple. in today's case the answer is that this group of friends is recruiting each other. they are engaged in what we describe as mere peer-to-peer recruiting, friend to friend brother to brother but they did
7:43 am
have extra help. they had their friend abdi noor. because he made it to syria last year and knows different routes and has different contacts, noor is defacto foreign fighter recruiter for those in minnesota. as explained in the complaint he is in regular contact with his friends, he advises them and he serves as a source of inspiration for those who want to replicate his success. to be clear, we have a terror recruiting problem in minnesota. and this case, demonstrates how difficult it is to put an end to recruiting here. parents and loved ones should know that there is not one master recruiter organizing in the somali community locally. what this case shows is that the person radicalizing your son your brother your friend, may not be a stranger.
7:44 am
it may be their best friend right here in town. and, your brother, your son your relative, could be talking to abdi noor in syria who is providing inspiration and ideas how to get to syria. i be a applaud the parents and relatives who are trying to keep young men safe from this activity but as this case demonstrates it is difficult to do it on your own. i urge anyone concerned about their young son or brother to seek help in the community. reach out to a trusted friend, a teacher, a professional counselor, a religious leader. ultimately unless we stop it from happening, the planning and screaming that takes place among those committed to joining isil and participating in isil's violent ideology, leads either to fighting for terrorists in syria, or to arrest here in
7:45 am
minnesota. the information we now have peer-to-peer recruiting and the lengths these conspirators would go in order to join isil was made clearer in recent months. one member of the conspiracy decided to change course, one friend in this group decided to leave and to cooperate with the fbi. that cooperating witness agreed to record meetings of the corespond spurtores. some of the information gathered in these conversations is set forth in the complaint. the cooperating witness provides an inside view into the thinking of the conspirators and the depth of their commitment to join isil. these recordings also capture the critical role played by noor in helping the conspirators with their efforts. frustrated by their inability to travel from minnesota from new york and elsewhere, the conspirators discussed obtaining
7:46 am
false passports and flying to syria through mexico. in the past few weeks several of these defendants provided cash and photos of themselves to the cooperating witness to get fake passports so they could leave the united states. i have said many tim to break the cycle of terror recruiting in minnesota. these arrests bring us one step closer. because these six men and yousef and ahmed before them, were prevented from going, they will not be the nextwave of recruiters like noor they can not reach out to more friends and relatives to join their cause. each person we stop from traveling to syria is one less minnesota recruiter for isil and but noor and others are not done. there are more will be subjectedd to peer-to-peer recruiting and
7:47 am
contacted by noor and others overseas. i want to applaud the outstanding and hard work of the dedicated fbi analysts, tax force officers who spent countless hours investigating the members of this conspiracy. they are among the best in the country and minnesota is fortunate to have these agents and officers right here keeping us all safe. i also want to recognize the prosecutors in my office and national security division -- martha: stunning news really about the investigation that led to the arrest of these six people. they were all connected in san diego and in minneapolis. they were able to turn one member of this tight group of friends informant. he considerably helped them. one managed to get away, abdi noor who is in syria for more that want to join isis. let's bring in judge alberto gonzales, author of a
7:48 am
conservative and compassionate approach to immigration reform and former tern joan. joins me now. good to have you with us today. >> good morning. martha: i know you have been listening to the announcement of these arrests. straight off the top, what is your reaction to this case? >> i'm not surprised. let me say this, we always believed the next wave of terrorists would be performed by people in this country trained in this country. what i was surprised by the briefing, the fact that these individuals were so intent going overseas to engage in terrorism. i think obviously many targets are here in this country. so long as they felt comfortably trained they would focus on american targets within our borders particularly after they were stopped the first time. but beyond that there is nothing that surprises me. we've, u.s. authorities have worked, very, very hard to anticipate and to address this kind of threat going forward. martha: i think this brings the count to about 28 americans who have been arrested.
7:49 am
we heard from fbi director james comey several weeks ago. he spoke quite clearly, he said there were investigations in all 50 american states that were going on. what do you think about the work he has done on this? how is it that the tone and the actions different than what we saw in the past? >> well listen, of course, a lot of work was done immediately after 9/11 to set the foundation to protect america from this kind of threat. we anticipated this is way it would evolve and morph. obviously jim was u.s. attorney in the beginning of the bush administration. became deputy attorney general, served with me and now the fbi director. he is clearly aware of this and obviously appreciates the real serious threat that exists. the problem with dealing with folks in this country, if they're american citizens they have certain rights. if they're within our borders they have certain rights. that presents unique challenges for both our law enforcement and
7:50 am
intelligence agencies. martha: indeed it does. interestingly he said some of them tried several times to get out. raises the question why weren't they stopped the first time they were trying to get to syria? >> it may be, once they were stopped the first time, they were subject to even greater scrutiny. very difficult question to answer as to when do you take down a plot? you obviously are going to do it before any lives are lost. before there is any serious property damage. you want to continue as long as you can so you can identify and hopefully will be in the position to capture everyone involved in the conspiracy included the highest ranking individual. could be the fbi felt comfortable they could continue to monitor the folks without serious potential loss of life or damage to property. they felt it was appropriate thing to do to simply let them go and continue monitoring. >> he is encouraging people who know people who are up to these kinds of activities they should turn them in and let them know. they were able to turn an
7:51 am
informant which was obviously very significant in this case. attorney general, alberto gonzales, author of the new book which we're showing on the screen thank you very much for being with us. we hope to see you soon.sh many thanks. >> glad toas be with you. ...if hiring plumbers, carpenters and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog-walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com. no more calling around. no more hassles. and you don't even have to be a member to start shopping today. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. visit angieslist.com today.

bill: it has been five years since the bp oil spill devastated the coast. it leaked several million barrels of crude. bp developed better equipment to stop similar disasters. environmentalists say it is not if you have. casey stiegel is live in port fourchon, louisiana. good morning to you. >> when the horizon oil rig exploded it set off catastrophic chain of events. the well gushed oil for nearly
7:55 am
