6:14 am
6:15 am
bill: the prosecutor in baltimore front and center. critic accusing the prosecutor saying her decision had more to do with keeping the city calm. >> a prosecutor shouldn't be listen together crowd. i worry when i hear some in the crowd saying unless there is a conviction we are going to riot again. you can't have justice by crowd. there is a serious problem here and there is a lot police abuses in some city. you don't respond to that by scapegoating individual policemen and overchanging them to make the crowd go away. that's not justice. bill: on friday even before we knew the charges you were on our
6:16 am
channel and you said perhaps they are guilty of negligence, suggesting these six officers. do you stand by that? >> i don't believe any privilege go out with the -- i don't believe any police officer go out with the intent to hurt somebody. did they not buckle him in or respond to his medical request. that's incompetence not criminality. bill: dershowitz says this is a show trial. >> i think he's right. i'm used to a prosecutor dwoating the law not the chants of "no charleston vehicles no peace." i think her inexperience basically made this case flawed. bill: she said we'll pursue
6:17 am
justice by any and all means necessary. that's kind of a typical comment by a prosecutor. >> she should have said we'll pursue the law and we'll make sure justice is served. bill: you mention a change of venue. >> i anticipate that. it's clear her statement and the atmosphere in baltimore will prejudice the citizens against these police. it will be hard to find an impartial jury. bill: on the d.a. in baltimore. do you have any idea why she reacted the way she did? she said that she did not rely on the police report, they did their own investigation. >> my experience in similar
6:18 am
cases, they are done deliberately carefully there is no rush to judgment. the public could have waited for this she could have done it much more deliberate and carefully. i do think there was a rush to judgment. bill: so the announcement wasn't appropriate in your opinion? >> it was not. bill: you are trying to figure out whether you move the trial or not. and in your view, is the prosecutor tainted in this already? >> i think she is. it will probably be a change of venue, i think based on what i know and i certainly don't know all the evidence. they probably will get acquitted and baltimore and baltimore authorities will have to decide how to properly respond to anger in the city. bill: you think an acquittal?
6:19 am
>> i think this is a hard case to prove to prove intent and prove actual conspiracy and malice. i think that's hard to prove. bill: if you do get a guilty plea and go to an appeal will the officers win on appeal, based on what you see? >> i think they will, but i think it's a difficult case to prove. my sense is with a change of venue these police officers will probably be acquitted. bill: we'll talk about dershowitz's theory. martha: bill clinton answered some questions about the big-money speech at the center of the scandal that engulfed the clinton campaign. what the former president has to say and yes says he will
6:20 am
continue to gift speeches base has to quote pay the bills. the f.b.i. is descending on an apartment building that's believed to be the home of the suspects in the dallas shooting.
6:21 am
6:22 am
6:23 am
bill: four people dead including a gunman after a shooting on a bridge in wisconsin. police say they don't believe there is any threat to the community at this time. martha: former president bill clinton firing back after a bombshell book claiming the
6:24 am
donors got some kind of favor or kickback from the clinton foundation. he says he has no regrets in taking millions in cash from foreign donors. >> i give 2% of my revenue off the top to the foundation. hillary gave 17%. i give the speeches to pay my bills. >> reporter: $500,000 for a speech? >> it's most independent i could get. if i had a business relationship with somebody they would have a tarring own the their back from date they did business with me to the end. any kind of disclosure is a
6:25 am
target. it looks bad. people like to hear me speak. if i think there is something wrong i don't take it. >> reporter: she is running for president will you continue to give speeches? >> oh, yeah. i have got to pay our bills. martha: you can slow that down and take every sentence and we could discuss it because it's a fascinating exchange. >> it was a classic bill clinton performance. one the denial of having done anything wrong. the two assertion anything that was done wrong was just a mistake. remember all those foreign donations the clinton foundation did not report as the balm administration required them to
6:26 am
do? it was just a guy in a cubical. there is a direct accusation there is a conspiracy to december cloy the children tons. and the allegation that the clintons are held to a higher standard and he's being unfairly treated. if you go back to the 1990s and his presidency this is a classic bill clinton performance. martha: also, he says i asked hillary about this and she said no one ever tried to influence me by helping you. no one has suggested a shred of evidence to that. she asked if it had in influence at the state department and she said no, and that's suppose to be the end of that. >> we are not hearing from hillary clinton herself who is the candidate. bill clinton is her husband but he's not running for office. with this situation, you have the clintons essentially saying
6:27 am
there is no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing. now if that's the standard, then that's a very different standard than what we see in the normal politics. you can kind of drive a truck through coming as close as you can in this. it's interesting. he's on this tour in africa showing the good work the foundation does. perhaps this tour cause timed to coincide with the release of this book? >> could be. they just happened to have a film crew there too. i don't think the allegation is the clinton foundation doesn't dodd good work. another question is how much of its money does the clinton foundation spend on salary and
6:28 am
travel. when any of us give to a charity we want to look and see they are spending most of their money on their actual mission and not salary and support and travel for the people who run it. that's another big issue with the clinton foundation. martha: byron thank you. bill: new names in the republican presidential:field. including former ceocarly fiorina. martha: not bad work if you can get. floyd may weather mayweather makes $200 million and he's not shy about it.
6:29 am
6:30 am
6:31 am
6:32 am
bill: phoenix arizona searching this apartment where they believe the two suspects were living as roommates before traveling to texas and opening fire. two gunmen started firing outside a museum hosting a contest for the best cartoon drawing of the prophet mohamud. the two suspects are dead. a cop shot in the ankle. i'll bring you new information as soon as we have it here. >> i'm running for president. our founders never intended us to have a professional political class. they believed citizens and lighters she'ded to step forward. the only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who
6:33 am
is leading in the it. i'm car think fiorina and i'm -- i'm carly fiorina and i'm running for president. martha: she immediately targeted hillary clinton. she turned her off with the remote control. but she is not the only candidate to announce this week. dr. ben carson is expected to get in the race. also former arkansas governor mike huckabee is expected to make an announcement by tomorrow. karl rove served as deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush. what did you make of carly fiorina's rollout? >> each one of these candidates will do it in a different way. carly fiorina, the ceo of hewlett-packard did it on the internet. ben carson is going to return to
6:34 am
detroit. and mike huckabee is returning to arkansas. it's his home and its the home of bill clinton. we are off to the races. the size of the republican field has doubled. we'll have three candidates in the race and tomorrow i expect we'll have six. martha: obviously these guys are long-shots and ladies. how do you think they stack up? >> they are long-shots. carly fiorina in the real clear politics average has 1%. ben carson 4.8%. mike huckabee is in 6th place at 8.3% and led earlier in some of the national polls. but they are long shots. carly fiorina said we don't need
6:35 am
people who held public office. the last time the republicans nominated somebody who had not been an elected office holder or commanded the american military in a war was 1940. and you have to go back a long time before you get to somebody who had no elective responsibilities before they became president. on the other hand she proved to be a very adept campaigner. she is energetic. she focused on iowa, north carolina and new hampshire a like. she came with the line that clinton boasts she traveled to all those countries and she said flying is an activity, not an accomplishment. similarly ben carson who is a physician, a newer so surgeon brain surgeon at johns hopkins with a wonderful story took on
6:36 am
president obama over obamacare. an has been a rock star. everybody has gotten a moment and a bump. generally when they announce. but his bump was earlier. he's at 4.8% but he was at 12% in march. but since then he made statements that have drawn people away from him not toward him. martha: wearing and bush have not announced. when do you expect health they will get in if they will. >> they don't need to be better known, and walker leading in the national polls and they don't feel the necessity of getting in early. so my suspicion is we are likely to see them enter the race not in may but maybe even late june
6:37 am
or july. that's one of the advantages of having a big record in a big name or having had a splash earlier in the year before become an official candidate. it gives you a chance to prepare yourself more and educate yourself more and allows you more control over your schedule. once you become a candidate the demands on your time become enormous. and you are fighting hard to execute a plan if you even have a plan. candidate find themselves being drawn by the demand of the moment. and it gets to be tough to execute a preplanned strategy to get you to the nomination. martha: what do you think of chris christy and where he is given the news over the weekend. >> not good news. so far he demonstrated he's not going to be panicked. he has to lay a predicate a
6:38 am
message -- that's one of the things the three candidates needs no focus on. what is the rationale to be a candidate. carly fiorina said we need somebody from the business world and not part of the business class. they have to have a durable reason why they ought to be the candidate. but this is the past chance to lay that out. christy * has been doing that by saying we need to stackle the tough problems. will he sustain a campaign while he's being damaged by people whose actions were not his but whose actions are hurting his chances for the nomination. martha: karl, thanks so much. we'll see you next time. bill: after defeating manny
6:39 am
pacquiao he got a check for $100 million. he could make $100 million more once pay per view sales are tallied up. if you thought was bout was boring saturday. mayweather is saying show me the money. i have got a lot of it right here. martha: what did you think? bill: a little bit of a rope-a-dope. he had a strategy and executed it. pacquiao landed two shots to the face that were effective. but he needed more than that. martha: tom brady made it to the kentucky derby and also to the fight. bill: that's a hang year weekend. martha: new revelations about u.s. intelligence and its
6:40 am
missteps coming out of the arab spring. for those moment when a former deputy director of the cia says the u.s. completely under estimated al qaeda. bill: baltimore police officers facing criminal charges. will any of those charges stick? >> people in the community are hurting because of the destruction that was done. i'm doing it for our city and in their names to bring peace and calm and justice for those community members. cting levemir®. as my diabetes changed it got harder to control my blood sugar. today, i'm asking about levemir®. vo: levemir® is an injectable insulin that can give you blood sugar control for up to 24 hours. and levemir® helps lower your a1c. levemir® lasts 42 days without refrigeration.

6:43 am
martha: we have an ongoing situation in phoenix where f.b.i. agents are searching the apartment where they believe the two suspects were living as roommates before they traveled to texas to open fire on the
6:44 am
museum. on this story breaking news. we'll get you back therely when something happens. bill: what a scene that was. images from the arab spring four years ago. now the cia facing criticism. former cia deputy director mike morell saying the administration misjudged the resurgence of terror groups in the aftermath. general jack keane. good morning to you. i imagine none of what he says surprises you but it comes from someone on the inside.
6:45 am
>> mike morell is dead-on with his conclusion. we know now after bin laden was killed from the document that were seized he wasp more in control of the organization and it was directing its expansion. but he's right. after the arab spring it became an accelerant for the radical islamists. nobody was in the streets protesting for jihad. they were looking for social reform and economic opportunity. bill: miss is what more well write. we thought and told policy makers this outburst of popular revolt would undermine al qaeda by -- damage the group by undermining its mayor tough.
6:46 am
the arab spring turned to winter. how did we get it so wrong? >> i think first of all we were totally imbued what we were doing in pakistan against the al qaeda central leadership. we knew we had some success there. but unknown to us, bin laden was have in charge this organization as it was expanding. and the other thing is. you have to give some credit to the radical islamists. they do take advantage of these situations and here you saw the muslim brotherhood come to power inpower -- in egypt after mubarak was deposed. you saw in libya the radical islamists burned down a consulate. forced the evacuation of the u.s. embassy and now we are witnessing what's take place in
6:47 am
syria with the growth of isis and al qaeda. it's quite extraordinary. no one i believe post 9/11 would have conceptualized that the al qaeda expansion from a regional to a global jihad would be so significant. bill: i know you believe this is the security challenge of our generation. but it's clear in more realms book that our sources dried and they were not as good and perhaps they did not have the insight to anticipate what's happening here. how can you drop the ball this badly. >> reporter: depending on those sources is probably understandable. and mike morell also identifies that we should have had other sources. as he said we should have had a better window and what was taking place. these are all repressive re-regimes that fell early in the arab spring and we were
6:48 am
dependent on the government and media sources. but we missed the well spring of discontent that was as he said it became a tidal wave and impacted all of those governments. we missed it. >> you laid out a wide region where this is growing. there are many experts who believe this is an issue for at least a decade. do you agree? >> i think it's much longer than that. it's a generational issue. compounding the fact that we missed the intelligence what was taking place and you have got to appreciate his forthrightness and admitting that because he was part of it. number two even worse than that we have no strategy to defeat this regional now global jihad that's taken place before our eyes. bill: more well announced the
6:49 am
islamic state announced their intentions to attack us just like al qaeda did. he draws no distinction between these two groups. martha: terror unfolding in the heart of texas. >> get back! ma * two gunmen opened fire outside an event holding a contest on cartoons featuring the prophet muhammed. bill: a sweet princess without a name.

6:52 am
6:53 am
martha: prince william and the duchess of cambridge showing off their baby. she doesn't have a name yet which is not unusual. first all, what did you think over the weekend? >> talk about stage managed perfection. every mother in the world saying how did you do it. she dwoas into labor and 12 years later she comes out with the baby looking like that. martha: let's put up the board of some of the name expected to be the most prominent prospective names. you have charlotte.
6:54 am
>> the baby will probably have three names. i think it would be shocking if they named her diana. that would be a huge legacy for a baby. >> reporter: many people think diana will be in the mix. you can see diana's ring resting on the little girl's chest which was a nice moment. when you look at that whole list of names. alice will be a tribute to prince philip in a way. they did alexander with her brother's name.
6:55 am
i think mary is a dark horse in the mix. >> there was a mary of came tblijt victorian era and queen mary the mother of george vi. we have not seen a mary for a long time. with the tradition of prince george week expect that. martha: william has four names and george has three names. they could go with four names. what do you think? i'll put on the line. what are your three three names? >> charlotte elizabeth diana. are they going go out to and -- to
6:56 am
sandringham where they have a house or will they do it at kensington. bill: i like william george. martha: it's a girl. you lost that opportunity. bill: we have breaking news. texas and phoenix arizona. two suspects shot and killed during a contest draw. the two suspects were apparently roommates in phoenix. we'll take you there live at both locations with what we are learning now.

martha: brand new details on two gunman who launched what is being called an isis-inspired terrorist attack in texas. the fbi is searching an apartment in phoenix where it is believed the men lived as

roommates. fbi dealt one with one of these guys before in previous terrorist investigation. good morning to "america's newsroom," i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. they shot a security officer outside of this event having a competition to draw cartoon of the prophet muhammad. fbi in mean fix with fox phoenix providing assistance searching apartment of one suspect who allegedly tried to join a terror group in africa dating five years ago. police moving quickly to the scene, including nearby businesses. >> we didn't know where the shots was coming on or a crate falling or somebody stomping. it wasn't really loud. it was in the back. we didn't really get full effect if it was out on the floor or something like that. yeah, i continued to work, after i heard it. and, they told us, everybody to
7:01 am
evacuate. bill: catherine herridge is chief intelligence correspondent live in washington. a lot we do not know, catherine. what can we report? >> reporter: bill, investigators are searching a condo tied to one of the suspects shot inside of the exhibition in texas. the suspect was known to the u.s. intelligence community and recently the subject of a fbi counselter terrorism investigation. it was alleged he tried to get to africa which is home of al qaeda affiliate al-shabaab. teams at this hour are searching the apartment to review computer records and they are exploring whether he sent out a series of tweets prior to the attack, one using hashtag, at texas attack n event in garland, texas a competition for drawing the positive fet muhammad was on the radar for islamic extremists more than a week before the shooting took place with twitter accounts calling for attacks on event similar to what we saw earlier this year with
7:02 am
the french satirical magazine "charlie hebdo." it is standard practice for individuals to run the names and databases of known suspects. bill: what are the groups looking at, catherine? >> reporter: they're considering whether the two men had direct ties or inspired by a foreign terrorist group. with analysts drawing attention to a series of tweets by a 25-year-old american jihadi with the al qaeda affiliate in east africa, al-shabaab, as well as a notorious operative of isis. it was sent by a british jihadist based in the syria and reads in part, "allahu akbar!," two of our brothers opened fire at the prophet muhammad exhibition in texas, hashtag texas attack. this account has been disabled. chairman of house homeland security committee, michael mccaul who is also from texas said in that statement, freedom of expression was attacked in garland, texas just like attacked in paris where al qaeda
7:03 am
operatives shot and killed the editors of that french magazine. bill. bill: more later we'll get from you in washington d.c. we'll let you get on the phone now. here is martha. martha: we have a the founder of islamic forum for democracy and good to have you back on the program this morning. obviously an awful situation that unfolded over the weekend. what do you think about what happened and what do you think are the orrery bins of this? >> ultimately these are not lone wolves, these are operatives of isis. what is unique of isis they finally brought together in the radical islamic movement, a islamic state that stands for imposition of theocracy globally their allegiance is to the islamic state. this individual his tweet was giving allegiance to the state. not only isis but all islamic states, martha that breed this ideology of intolerance for criticism her rhett ticks,
7:04 am
et cetera. americans need to learn not whether the group was too provocative. they will shift the needle what provocative based on what achieves their goals of domination in saudi arabia the government says, muslims like me are too provocative. so they get put in jail. there is slippery slope against free speech. if america can not defend the right for her rhett ticks reformers, that criticize the prophet i think i as muslim would be just ashamed. martha: this is live shot of the apartment building where they were looking for the two individuals, i believe they were roommates. races questions of isis inspired people in this country and border issue, present on people's minds when they look at third quarter issue as well. your thoughts? >> it is growing exponentially. this fuel is islamic patriotism, somehow they're working against the west and freedom but against
7:05 am
what they have a common enemy which is assad and iran and regimes they think they will bring something better, when in fact it is worse. because we don't have third alternative strategy for liberty, a third pathway in the middle east, to advance american patriotism to fill hearts of muslims seeking islam mow patriotism we'll see not all 50 states but growing opportunities for radicals to act since they cat emigrate to syria or elsewhere because we're watching them they will do their acts here in texas and god forbid any other state. >> the that's right. thank you, dr. jasser, thank you very much. >> thank you. bill: three more republicans now jumping in the race for president. dr. ben carson holding an official campaign in about 25 minutes from now he will be live in detroit michigan. former arkansas governor mike huckabee expected to announce his candidacy in hope,
7:06 am
arkansas. carly fiorina confirming her plans a little earlier today on "good morning america." >> somehow we've come to this place in our nation's history where we think we need a professional political class. i don't believe that what i will tell you i've been out there across the country. people don't believe that either. they are kind of tired of the political class. bill: brit hume fox news senior political analyst. how are you, brit? >> happy monday. bill: so you as well. fiorina always made it her mission to go after hillary clinton. now the polls right now are barely a blip for her. and, maybe it is ben carson today. maybe it is carly fiorina but seems to be the day of the long shot. how do you see it so far? >> i think that is a correct assessment bill. these candidates getting in now including mike huckabee who has a residue of support from earlier campaigns are still long shots all of them. but in this, in this shapeless race and really ace race that anybody tells you today, that

they have a handle how this is coming together is lying or deluded or both. this is sill a completely wide open field. anybody's guess who could get out ahead of all this, because nobody really has and in this atmosphere who knows who could take off. bill: that's right. >> usually there are money barriers. it is amazing, bill, in this case race, how many candidates seem to be able to raise quite a lot of money. we have a long way to go. we've been talking about, seems like we're talking about this forever. bill: it is good fun. huckabee won eight states in 2008. he announces tomorrow as i mentioned. we have to wonder about his shelf life and his effectiveness now. >> well you do. he is an appealing guy as we all know for his presence here for a time at fox news. he is a smart guy, well-informed well-spoken. claim on the allegiance of the religious right which is,
7:08 am
important element in the republican party. and, who knows. what he might be able to do here in the early going. i think he is a long shot. i think it is still early it is anybody's race. bill: he announces in hope, arkansas. he too is another one that goes directly after of the clintons, bill clinton and hillary clinton. speaking of them, bill clinton gave an interview what appears to first extended comments he gave on clinton foundation story. he is traveling in africa. nbc was there. he is part of what he said trying to take down the foundation he has built up. listen. >> there has been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down. and there is almost no new fact that is known now that wasn't known when she ran for president first time. bill: i know you saw that. >> i did. bill: talks about the money for speeches. says i have to pay the bills. >> i had to chuckle at that. making comment about $500,000 speaking fee.
7:09 am
got to pay the bills. bill: when you're flying g-5, you have to pay some bills right? that is not cheap travel. >> they live well. bill: do you think he advanced today and if so in what way? >> i think what this is further a sign this clinton foundation clinton speeches, clinton money story is not going away. the new story today in the "washington post," details continue to emerge about his relationship with various people. and i think it is a burden on the clintons because there has always been questions about their trustworthiness both of them. i think they persist now and they form a burden. the clintons have a lot of baggage and they don't seem to be shedding any. they seem to be gaining badge ago, something you don't want to be gaining. bill: ron fournier who works for the folks in washington often times, from arkansas, attack the source. keep the money. delete the evidence. in a nutshell that is how he sees the political history of
7:10 am
bill and hillary clinton. >> ron is a excellent reporter. made his way from detroit to little rock where he covered the clintons when bill clinton was governor. he knows them well. he came to washington we were together at the white house during the clinton years. he has been chronicling the clintons as long as i can remember. he gets the clinton. that is pretty astute, succinct operation about how they operate. and, you know, there is certain amount, they get away with this stuff, partly bill clinton got a way with a lot in office because times were so good in america and people didn't want any interruptions. that is why the impeachment backfired in my view. and he is likeable. most charming man i ever met bill clinton. she is less some she is the one on the ticket this time. bill: right on. thank you brit catch you a bit later. ben carson will make the announcement two minutes from detroit. we'll carry that live for you.

six police officers charged with a range of serious crimes. you can see the six officers here on the screen before you. the most serious bunch is second-degree murder and manslaughter. meanwhile we have new polls show 60% of the african-americans believe that the riots stem from long-standing frustration with the police. 27% say that is was an excuse for looting and violence of the numbers are flipped when you ask white americans according to these polls. they say basically 60% was to engage in looting and violence and 32% stems from long-standing frustration with the police. let's bring in a man who is an expert on all of this. milwaukee county sheriff david clark who joins me now. he believes the state attorney's charges have to do with something other than justice. sheriff welcome back to the program. good to have you on today. >> morning, martha. martha: tell me what you think when you hear those numbers we
7:17 am
just reported? >> well, race is a very explosive issue in our society in america. it always has been unfortunately, it always will be. i think the black folks that were polled are basing that on emotion minus the logic. i think the white folks that were polled, basing it on logic minus the emotion. so it is a part of the human conditions they make their assumptions based on experience. i understand that, however. we have come a long way in this country in terms of race relations. they were getting better up until recently. i find it very unfortunate. this thing turned into a cottage industry for some people. there is fame. there is to be had. there is money to be made. and, many people play the race card as if it were some sort of sport. at some point we have to move beyond this we'll not get rid of it. that's not what i'm suggesting but we have to stop viewing everything through the prism of race. when you do you can find that bogeyman of.
7:18 am
racism luring around every country. the fact is that is perception not reality. that is kind of how i view life. martha: friday everybody was stunned with really charge, and how quickly they came from the state attorney, marilyn mosby. i want to play a little bit of her statement from friday and get your reaction to it, sheriff. >> to the youth of this city, i will seek justice on your behalf. this is a moment this is your moment. you're at the forefront of this cause. and as young people, our time is now. >> that's right, yeah! martha: lots of applause all around when she said that it got a lot of attention sheriff. what is your take on what she said there. >> it was a great political statement. but as it relates to the criminal justice system and relates to the rule of law it is shameful. it is nobody's time right now. she represents not the youth of baltimore, not the black youth of baltimore. she represents everybody in the city, county of baltimore, on behalf of the state of maryland.
7:19 am
and i think she took this thing down a political rabbit hole now. she turd this case, which was already highly politically charged but she made it worse. now she has a tiger by the tale tail. she has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they engaged in very serious charges murder, manslaughter, false imprisonment. time will tell. i trust the system of justice. greater legal minds than mine, alan dershowitz said she overcharged this was political. this was done to quell the angry mob. that is why i said these officers are moving are nothing more than now political prisoners who have been offered up to appease the angry mob. as time goes on, i don't think this will fare real well for her. martha: she showed the pictures, three black officers, three white officers. the life of freddie's gray family changed forever that day. these families are going through quite a it about as they await to find out what happens next.

martha: so the seattle police are trying to decide to charge the man for wrongdoing after he was found stuck in basketball hoop following may day protests. the group of officers standing around well, what do we do about this one? he was shirtless and carrying a hammer. they called the fire department and they were able to climb up and cut him down. bill: martha, do you get three points for that? martha: i think he will be charged, decided he did his time in the basketball hoop. bill: i am not coming down. you guys will have to come up here and get me. martha: pretty acrobatic. bill: the core of that man. martha: strong core. good exercise. bill: 24 minutes past. news police in garland, texas are about to start a news conference. we do not have a lot of information as to what happened last night other than this. there was some sort of contest taking place north of dallas in
7:25 am
garland texas where they were competing how to draw the prophet muhammad. the report says a shot was fired from outside. it hit a security officer in the ankle. police then returned fire, security officials returned fire or perhaps both and killed two suspects outside much. those two suspects apparently are from phoenix, arizona where the fbi is investigating the apartment where the two were said to be roommates. katie pavlick, news editor for town hall dot-com. pete hegseth ceo of concerned veterans of america. both fox news contributors. if i have to interrupt you because police are talking. it is early, katie. there is a lot we don't know. what do you want to know? >> i want to know whether moderate groups, so-called moderate islamic groups like council on islamic relations will condemn this act outright. this was an event there was a contest held to draw muhammad. this was an event in protest of
7:26 am
another event held there in january that was anti-free speech. i think it's a pretty easy thing to talk about. do you condemn violence over cartoons or not? and the bottom line here is that there were a lot of people inside of that room exercising their free speech. and thank god there were armed police officers there, unlike in paris, to stop these guys before it got worse. it could have been much, much worse. the bottom line in america, free speech is under attack by islamics, islamists. what are moderate islamic groups going to do to stop it from happening in the future? bill: catherine herridge investigators are considering whether or not they had direct ties or inspired by foreign terrorist gripe. there was something online apparently an account that has since been disabled with apparently ties back to syria. if true, that would, add a whole new wrinkle to what we're watching right now. pete start. >> yeah it would. initial report, indicate over twitter that one of the men
7:27 am
involved tweeted his allegiance to isis and to al-baghdadi before the attack. an indication that, and again we don't have all the information at this point but that there was some sort of a tie back to allegiance motivation bit islamic state and the caliphate. to see it happen in garland, texas, a reminder how strong the gravitational pull is of radical islamists what they believe expanding inevitable caliphate. longer we're unwailing to defeat isis on ground the hatred of islamism of that will happen around the world. first amendment is always provocative speech. shouldn't be provocative to meet and speak and give a particular perspective. the second amendment, second amendment that is what brought this man down and good luck going to texas with that kind of thing. i clam they met the fate they did. bill: series of tweets report by a 25-year-old jihadi with
7:28 am
al qaeda from east africa al-shabaab. that is what is floating around. kate, is this a growing threat a new threat, or is it the same threat. >> i certainly think it es growing. you look what happened last night, i would say that is definitely escalation when it comes to the islamic state or whatever terrorist group these people are tied to is going to do to american citizens exercising their first amendment rights. also you could is a it is new, yes, but could also say cut from the same cloth of islamism. and this anti-free speech idea that it is okay to murder people because you are offended about a cartoon. the bottom line is, we've heard for a long time that we have a homegrown terror problem in this country. we're seeing it escalate with the tactics that isis is using saying don't come over to syria to fight. take it to events in your home country. easier to get to. issue your jihad there. exactly what we saw last night. shouldn't treat it any differently than that.
7:29 am
>> i'm out of time. pete, squeeze in a final thought here. >> this is why what happens on the ground in iraq and syria matters. sooner we crush them the more it is clear the caliphate they have is not legitimate and won't survive 21st century. killing bad guys matter. not a direct correlation in every single way, man until you get to the root cause until you deal with the problem we'll see copycats all over the place. bill: pete, tee thanks. we'll see news conferences out of texas and arizona. here is martha. >> thank you. martha: two more candidates are jumping into the race for president. we're waiting to hear from dr. ben carson. he is about to take the stage to make his announcement official in detroit. shortly after carly fiorina threw her hat into the ring. we'll go live to the ben carson event moments away. bill: these police officers are facing murder and manslaughter in the death of freddie gray, some of them anyway. others face other charges.
7:30 am
does the prosecution have what it takes to make the charges stick. >> let's treat this case the way the constitution requires, all cases against anybody charged with a crime are treated presumption of innocence, due process of law. better 10 guilty go free than one wrongly innocent be convicted.
7:31 am

7:33 am
martha: big day, big week on announcements of gop candidates. retired surgeon ben carson about to announce his bid for republican nomination on the stage in detroit. we'll take you there live as soon as this gets underway. bill: state prosecutor in baltimore moving quickly to announce charges against six police officers shown here in the death of freddie gray but getting a jury conviction for murder or manslaughter could be far more difficult. maryland's governor urging calm and patience. >> well, look this is the very beginning of the process. we don't have a role in the
7:34 am
process but i believe in the justice system. it is going to take a long time to play out. we'll be prepared for whatever we, we want the truth to come out as everybody else does. we'll see what happens when it does. bill: judge andrew napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst with me in studio. good morning to you. you looked at stuff saw what happened on friday. you're trying to figure out what happens next. what about the prosecutor and the charges that were filed? >> i agree with the comments made by sheriff clarke to martha a few minutes ago she sounded like more was part of local community battling other parts of the community rather than the chief law enforcement officer for everybody. that is a political statement. the legal statement she made is this. she probably overcharged one of these cops of the one is charged with second-degree murder which requires proof of intent. i don't think she has that evidence. but prosecutors often overcharge in the hope that a defendant will negotiate down and plead to a lesser offense or a jury will compromise down, and convict to
7:35 am
a lesser offense. the lesser offense being the true offense here, which is probably criminally negligent homicide. treating a human being in your care and custody with such utter disregard for the dangers to his life that he died as a result of the way you treated him. that is the definition of criminally negligent homicide. do i think this is second-degree murder? i do not. do we understand why she charged him for that? yes. bill: we do. >> it's a gamble. bill: you aim high with that gamble? >> yes. sometimes this backfires. george zimmerman was overcharged in the death of trayvon martin. i think the prosecutor was hoping for a lesser, for, conviction of a lesser included some sort of a compromise by the jury. they didn't get it. he walked, even though there was evidence of some criminal wrongdoing on his part. bill: so it is not common to hear prosecutors talk the way she did you said that? >> it is not common to hear
7:36 am
prosecutor whoop and holler the crowds. bill: she said, i hear you. in justice there will be peace. l t's have peace, there will be justice. >> those were political statements. bill: why would she talk like that in her view? >> because she probably has ambition for higher office. she should temper the ambition when she has a dead person on her hands and charged six cops with the death. let the outcome of the case determine what her, where her ambition goes, not her inflammatory words at the time. bill: she also said she did not rely on the police report. she did her own investigation. is that common? >> yes. she has a large investigative staff who probably are more astute at investigating homicides than the police department. it is uncommon that both investigations would go on at the same time without involvement together. ordinarily they work together to conserve resources and to share information. and think do one investigation. she is probably telling us and
7:37 am
the world she didn't trust the police to do their own investigation and that's why she did hers. bill: howard safir used to run the police department in new york city. we spoke to him last hour. he is down in washington. he is somewhat in line with what you're saying here. he says they could be guilty of negligence. do you see that? >> yes. it is called criminally negligent homicide and it is, as the crime is as i described a few minutes ago. such a high degree of disregard for someone's care and safety. remember when police arrest someone they are responsible for his care and safety. that arises to the level of criminal wrongdoing in this case death. bill: do you have a, a good fix on how this goes? and how this turns out? >> i see a change of venue, meaning this will be tried in annapolis or someplace great distance from baltimore. and i don't know how it is going to go. it appears there is enough
7:38 am
evidence to convict for criminally negligent homicide. it also appears far from enough evidence to convict for second-degree murder. that requires element of intent. doesn't appear to be any evidence of intent right here. bill: thank you, judge andrew napolitano. will be with us for a while. >> yes. bill: thank you, sir. as will you. martha: all right. let's go back to detroit now, where you can see sing is continuing. they're waiting for neurosurgeon retired, he is, dr. ben carson. they will do a five minute movie first according to schedule. then he will step on the stage to give his speech. his wife is expected to join him. candy carson will join him as well. we'll take you there as soon as it gets underway.

begins. we're waiting for police to talk in garland, texas, what went down late yesterday when two suspects were shot and killed. a security officer injured, shot in the ankle. in addition to what is happening in garland, the story stretches out to phoenix, arizona. we're watching both cities right now for the latest from fallout from that story. stand by, all on the docket here in "america's newsroom." >> the united states is now otherrerring the navy's fifth fleet to escort ships through the persian gulf for their safety following iran's recent aggression in the straight of hormuz where the uss farragut respond toddies stress calls from a cargo ship intercepted by iranian naval forces. these latest events sound like what happened back in the 1980s. very sharp comparisons what rohn ronald reagan was dealing with iran. we have the matt from the "washington free beacon." >> thanks for having me. martha: this is fascinating parallel. it happens so often in history.
7:43 am
it is so important to have the long view of this iran-united states relationship. tell us what was going on in the '80s? >> that's right. martha, they called it the tanker wars, from 1986 to 1988. the u.s. navy and iranian navy and then the iranian revolutionary guard corps, their navy were all fighting, basically a proxy war in the straight of hormuz and the persian gulf right where the current navaltercations are taking place. there are a few parallels. one when the tanker war was happening united states were negotiating with iran. they were secret and involved controversial arms for hostages deal in the reagan administration. right now we're negotiating over their nuclear program. another parallel, they started exactly the same way with the tanker wars, with iranian incursions on vessels not marked u.s. vessels. then they kind of ratchet up the, they ratchet up the interception and such. then the united states ratcheted
7:44 am
it up. you saw just last week with the fifth fleet as you mentioned moving into position. you have this kind of a building momentum that might end up in a military conflict which was the case in 1980s. martha: yeah. you look what was going on in terms of the sunni-shia battle that was going on in the middle east which we also have underway right now. back then saddam hussein was flexing his muscle and moving his military into iran trying to take over their oil fields. then you have the pushback from the shiite side as well which had a stronger military. it goes on and on. what do you think president obama should learn from what happened last time? >> well, i think one thing it is important to realize is that the iranians did respond when the united states basically started shooting vessels out of the ocean and some other iranian military installations. there hasn't been anything like that so far. those of us who followed the obama administration probably realize, that he is unlikely to
7:45 am
escalate the conflict himself. one thing you get with the obama administration, is they try to separate the nuclear negotiations from other iranian, basically ma left lens and mischief making in the middle east. when you look at the tanker wars, you can't really do that. the iranians approaching the negotiations with obama from a position of strength. then they're using that strength to cause trouble in the persian gulf in yemen in iraq, in syria and so on. martha: yeah. what do you think would be the outcome if we did say, you know, that they had to back off in the persian gulf, they had to keep the waters free hey by the way, ps, how about the four americans released as part of this deal as well? >> right. well i think it is hard to say what the response would be. you saw the other week, remember iranians were sending a vessel to yemen to resupply the rebels there and the united states did send a naval vessel to inter sent it and iranians backed down. i think iranians would respond to a show of strength or force
7:46 am
on the part of the united states. hard to see how exactly that will happen. martha: white house would probably say yes we remember what happened in the 1980s. that's why we're pushing so hard for nuclear negotiation. nothing ended when that confrontation with the reagan administration ensued. >> americans tend to think the iranian government the theocratic government of iran has the same interests as we do basically peaceful and prosperous middle east. they don't. they see the middle east as their playground and they want to further their own radical agenda in that playground. so if you approach them by saying, well we'll have good faith negotiations and we're going to try to isolate these various aspects of the programs and deal with them on their own terms, i think the iranians will play you as negotiator, okay, we'll take whatever we can get, and then more. martha: incredible, the parallels. you wonder how closely they looked at them in the white house. you can always learn a lot from the arc of history in, they go

7:53 am
it's a step forward for the technology. if it, pans out in particular it could really just revolutionize the that. bill: that is most intriguing aspect. how will it transform it? >> when they travel they have to take the fuel with them. if you don't have to pack any of that stuff with you it will be a lot more cheaper and affordable and go further -- bill: did we lose you? i don't think we did. maybe you're at warp speed right now. no, he is there. hey, tar i.q., how long would this take to develop? how many years away from you from realizing this for nasa? >> i think this is really the ground stage right now to test the concept right now. what they have been doing in houston at this eagle works lab to verify the whole idea that idea whole magnetic engine actually works. they tested it in a vacuum which
