cuter? you make the call at home. all right. there you go. all right. have a wonderful weekend. make sure you check out the weekend show. martha: thank you so much you guys. there are stunning new warnings about the isis threat to our homeland the fbi is now saying quote, there may be thousands of people across the united states under the influence one way or the other of this terrorist group. good morning, everybody, i'm martha maccallum i'm here this morning in "america's newsroom." >> i'm gregg jarrett in for bill hemmer. james comey says they use social media in indirect way to directly target disturbed people to launch attacks in the u.s. martha: the syron song sits in the pockets of mobile phones of people followers on twitter. it is like the devil sitting on

their shoulder, saying kill, kill kill. leland vittert at the white house. very dramatic from director comey, leland. how many people are they talking about here do they think? >> reporter: sobering martha hundreds if not thousands of people in the united states americans being self-radicalized by isis, using twitter social media, online videos, those kinds of things. bottom line from the fbi, they are having a harder and harder time tracking these people and making sure they do not commit violent act themselves or trying to arrest them before. quote, from the fbi director in a way the old paradigm between inspired and directed breaks down here. the fbi director pointing to a new way of isis communicating. first by connecting with people on social media, sophisticated videos, those kind of things. then switching to encrypted communications. to take the analogy out, if before they were looking for needles in haystacks trying to find folks in the united states,

ready to commit attacks inspired by isis, the needles have become now invisible. they're also pointing to new tactics by isis. madison avenue techniques, if you will, using their best-looking fighters to try to appeal directly to women they want help from and those kinds of things. it is making it harder and harder for the fbi to combat isis's propaganda martha. martha: very slick organization in some ways. the fbi is real v. vealing a little bit what they view about the texas attacks and how the dots were attempted to be connected right? >> reporter: exactly. in this case the fbi had intelligence hours before elton simpson attack that the cartoon contest he was headed to garr lant texas. they alerted the local police department about the situation. local police dodged the question about what they knew when. there were people on the ground at the event had not gotten the word to be on the lookout for

simpson. law enforcement obviously should look out for more folks. coming from the fbi director quote, i know there are other elton simpsons out there. the question is, does the fbi know who the people are. can they track them and get ahead of them before they attack. martha: that is goes to the other questions. leland, thank you. >> fox news alert. new reports now that the department of justice will launch a federal probe into the baltimore police department and the death of freddie gray. we're just getting word now that the attorney general, the new one, loretta lynch, will hold a news conference 10 a.m. eastern. six officers of course indicted by the states attorney on various charges including murder. baltimore's mayor requested a justice department investigation on wednesday. of course the incident led to rioting and looting followed by mostly peaceful protests in the city. now it appears the new head of the justice department loretta

lynch, will make this one of her first pieces of business. we'll bring you her comments live 10:00 a.m. eastern when it begins. martha: as many as 30,000 police officers are expected in long island today for the funeral of nypd officer brian moore. the 25-year-old died on monday, two days after he was shot in the head on patrol. governor andrew cuomo is expected to be among those today. he also attended the wake yesterday. he called the tragedy an awful reminder of the sacrifice that is made by so many men and women in law enforcement. >> new england patriots quarterback tom brady is speaking out about "deflategate." at a previously scheduled appearance last night brady responded for the very first time to the independent report revealing he had at least general knowledge that the patriots used deflated balls. he spoke in front of a very

friendly home crowd at an event in massachusetts but fox news contributor jim gray was the moderator of that event and had asked about what he called, the elephant in the room. >> tom you're in the news here. and the ted wells report was just released. [booing] what is your reaction, tom to the ted wells report? >> i don't have really any reaction. our owner commented on it yesterday. it has only been 30 hours. so i haven't had much time to digest it fully. but when i do i will let you know what i feel about it. >> that is lawyered answered. maybe he lawyered up. poll lie line in is boston. jim gray was booed after he asked the question. i don't know if they were booing him or the report. what did brady say in response.

>> reporter: tom brady lighthearted as he had the exchange with jim gray before a very, very friendly crowd. i'm not sure what he could have said to get the crowd upset with him. he was speaking with sportscaster gray with previously scheduled appearance at salem university. arriving in style by helicopter. the interview interrupted periodically with cheers or boos from the boisterous student group. despite the report that asserts more probable than not brady was generally aware of inappropriate activities about the release of air from the game balls. as you showed brady dodging some of the questions putting off answers about the ongoing process. here is one he was pretty happy to offer clarification on. >> has this, however detracked from your joy of winning the super bowl? >> absolutely not. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: and we are just off of boylston street here in boston. this is are with the big parade,

victory parade for the super bowl win happened, where mvp of the game, tom brady came through with all of his teammates. big cheers then. he has still a lot of support here in new england. greg? >> he does. a lot of questions to answer, pretty evasive. should be a politician. when will we hear from roger goodell the commish from the nfl or any potential consequences for brady? >> yeah, we haven't gotten any further clarification when exactly we'll know what sort of punishment tom brady or perhaps some of these equipment managers could face down the road, whether a game suspension or possible fine. we're still waiting to hear. no clarification when that would come down. certainly patriots fans are interested to find that out as well. >> absolutely. molly line. martha: we'll see how long it takes. that is part of this. is this independent report that names the new england patriots equipment worker jim mcnally

as actually the man who inflated the footballs revealed after series of telling text messages n one of them he sort of said he really didn't like tom brady all that much you could say. there is the "new york post." meet the deflator. mcnally outside of his house. he told reporters to get off of his property. he wasn't going to talk to him. they could sit there all day. the plot thickens. the we'll talk to jim gray coming up. >> sounds like brady hasn't been forthcoming with his own texts or emails. i guess he is sort of pulling a hillary in that regard. but he didn't delete them at least. martha: he did not turn over the text messages which obviously is another part of the story. we'll talk to joe theismann and jim gray. >> will you take it easy on them the way you took it easy with brian? did you see her yesterday with brian kilmeade? martha: we're trying to lay it all out there. i just want to know he getting the same treatment that anybody else would get in that situation. we'll show a little bit what tom brady had to say about people

feel about him personally. what impact that may or may not have on all this. i can tell there are eyes rolling in the control room as i say this. that is what we are going to talk about. >> maybe he is not so tom terrific. martha: brand new jobs numbers came out as well. employers added 223,000 jobs in april. decent gains. three month average is 191,000, which is far cry from last year's average cooling off a bit. the unemployment rate is down to 5.4%. that the lowest number since 2008 which was six months into the recession. analysts say you have to look at this very closely because in terms of people that dropped out of the labor force and the low labor force participation rate, here is what the number looks like to them. 10.8%. fox business network's stuart varney will join us later this hour. he will shed some light on what he thinks all this means. >> the court of appeals ruling that the nsa data collection of your telephone records is not

legal. so we'll be talking with a former attorney general michael mukasey, why a ruling took this long and what it would take to make the spying program legit. martha: plus more twisters turning up yesterday as a series of strong storms passed through the midwest. we'll check the damage, tell you what is going on for the weekend. >> and the debate is raging over terrorism and free speech. was the draw the prophet contest down in texas that the two gunmen tried to attack a useless provocation or a reminder not to take our rights for granted? our political panel is here to debate it. >> you are enforcing sharia law. >> how are we doing that. >> by making me the bad guy. >> oh, my god. >> it was not just a contest. you are not even informed. excuse me, sir. >> you are hurting our cause what you're doing.

gregg: fox news extreme weather alert now. tornadoes over north texas. this twister touching down near the city of denton. that is about 40 miles northwest of dallas. storm chasers spotting several others in the area yesterday. minor damage and one minor injury reported. the storm though, coming on heels of a rash of tornadoes in the plains states earlier this weeks. forecasters are warning more twisters are possible this week.

martha: new questions how the federal ruling against the national security agency's data collection program will affect the former government contractor edward snowden, who leaked thousands of confidential documents and got the ball rolling in a lot of ways. he is very proud of that senator rand paul says the case is complicated. while the nsa leaker broke the law, his information did uncover the truth he says, behind this program. here is senator paul. >> it will have to be some sort of punishment but i think it could be negotiated because he did it to, he did it to reveal something that the government was not telling the truth about in which the courts are now saying was illegal. i think it definitely gives some justification to it. but the other side of the coin is you really can't have people who have privileged information just decide when they're going to reveal it. martha: michael mukasey served as u.s. attorney general under president george w. bush. he joins us now. good to have you back on the

program, judge, welcome. >> thanks. martha: what is your reaction to what the senator says about snowed en. >> he has been all wet on snowden for a long time. this decision doesn't change it. snowden's disclosures were probably the the biggest betrayal of u.s. national security in the last 20, 25 years. he has done enormous damage and, what he disclosed was something that was confidential. it was known to congress. they passed that statute over and over again. they knew precisely what they were doing. and, rand paul suggesting suggesting that somehow snowden is hero is wildly misplaced. >> we listed to fbi director comey talking about the fact there may be thousands perhaps of people who are isis sim shiesers in this -- sympathizers in this country and vulnerable to be tapped by isis through many forms of social media and turned against this country. is this the time to be curtailing our ability to capture information that may be useful in an investigation? >> of course as you point out

this is precisely the wrong time for that, even the french, are tightening their security and are engaging in much more aggressive intelligence gathering than we are. martha: you know, when you look at this picture, and this is all falls under the patriot act which will be up for reauthorization by congress. that is one of the other reasons this is so much in the forefront right now. but was in your opinion was people privacy violated by the program which basically gathers met at that date with numbers on both sideses of a phone call with no names and no content attached correct. >> correct. the data is not mined or analyzed. only time it is looked at and there are 20, 22 people who have ability to access it under limited conditions. the limited condition they get suspicious number overseas. they look at the data to see whether that number has been called or called by any number in the united states. that is what it is used for. that is all it is used for. martha: what about the flip side

of this argument, the if bi is doing their work. local law enforcement is doing their work. if they need access to a phone caller or numbers on either side of a phone call they can get a warrant and get that information from the phone companies themselves? >> takes time to get a warrant. the point is, what is the point of sending them scurrying around to the phone companies which store things in different places under different circumstances when the government can put it all in one place? martha: i'm not sure, whether that data has been mined to our advantage. you know when you look what happened in the boston marathon case some people look at this say, huge facility out in utah. storing a tremendous amount of data and not really useful to us because we're not being smart about the way the data is being usinged. sort of a cya in effect. >> no, the fact there may be one case or another case where people have gotten through the cracks doesn't mean that the data hasn't been used repeatedly to our advantage. we don't talk about the wins. and the fact is, that --

martha: why don't we is my question? that may seem like a silly question but why don't we? we have seen cases where when good work by the fbi has taken place, you know they march the guys out, the women out. here's what we did. it was incredibly productive program because they do want to say, when opportunities this is how we're getting things right. these are the vehicles we are using. makes me wonder whether they are using it intelligently. >> this is not about winning a game with a shot at the buzzer. it is incremental things. you take down people. you may interrupt a plot. you may find out about a plot down the road. you may can't talk about that all thetime. if you do disclose it you disclose means and methods of intelligence gathering. martha: what about the judicial side? >> it may get reviewed by supreme court if the justice department asks me.

they won't of the take it to the supreme court if they have time to do it. the statute as you point out in your intro will lapse in three weeks. so it will be reauthorized or not. that is going to be up for grabs in three weeks. martha: i want to ask you about a different topic for a moment because we understand at 10:00 a.m. eastern loretta lynch, the new attorney general will jump in front of the cameras to announce a investigation. it is expected she will be announcing that the department of justice will look into police department activities in baltimore. your thoughts on that? >> baltimore is majority-minority city as far as government is concerned. it has well-integrated police department. and i think it is a mistake to use every time there is a confrontation between the police and and african-american man and woman as occasion for investigating a police department. martha: thank you very much. judge, always good to have you with us. see you next time. gregg? gregg: and a routine flight turns terrifying. passengers snapping photographs

of the smoke-filled cabin as the pilot makes an emergency landing. the latest on what went wrong. >> i was so scared. i started to scream, dropping tears. it was obnoxious.

martha: president obama hitting a milestone that few presidents ever do. set to travel to south dakota today to deliver a commencement address. with that event he will have visited all 50 states in the nation during his presidency. the only other presidents who have done that richard nixon george h.w. bush and bill clinton. well-traveled. gregg: exclusive club. british prime minister david cameron defies pre-election polls defeating the challenger ed milibrand in an election that had been billed as the tightest

race in decades. cameron's conservative party on track for a slim majority in the parliament. fox business network's stu varney joins us now. stu, i've been watching all the news networks and newspapers. a lot of interest in this. why should americans care? >> that is the question i'm asked all the time. there is a very good answer for it. the election results in britain were a defeat for the left and a victory for the right. the same debate, the same economic debate, is taking place here in america. and the election results over there are a pointer for voter preference, i think over here. now let's look at britain for one second. the left, ed miliband leader of the socialist labour party, taxing rich, raising spending, he lost, he lost big time. he employed david axelrod president obama's political advisor, as an advisor to him. david cameron his policies

were free lower taxes, welfare reform. and he has created economic growth in britain better than america. he won. he won hands down. if you translate that into america, you have exactly the same debate and maybe just maybe, gregg a similar result down the road in 2016. gregg: hmmm. so big government versus small government. >> that's right. gregg: look, with russian aggression growing and the increasing nuclear threat of iran not to mention isis rampaging in the middle east, you know, we need a strong ally and great britain has always been one for us. so this is sort of a vote of community in that regard as well isn't it? >> that is correct many, yes. we need strong leadership from britain. very much part of nato. we've got that strong leadership for the next five years in david cameron. now, gregg if i may i will give you one statistic which is really very telling.

as you know been a hour ago we received the latest u.s. jobs report and that report says we've got at 62.8% labor participation rate. that is a near generational low 62.8%. in britain that same percentage that same labor force participation rate is 74%. gregg: wow. >> under free market policies, they have got 74% labor participation rate. under our policies of all government, all the time, we're down to 62. there is a difference. gregg: thanks for the stats. stu varney, always great to see you. >> thanks, gregg. martha: some trouble in the skies as passengers witness smoke filling the flight's cabin. can you imagine how scary this would be? what the pilot says was actually happening. gregg: and a new warning about a dangerous weapon being used by isis a weapon we may not have much of a defense against. >> isis is being have a lot of

success and creativity in using social media capturing the imagination of young americans. they are they're black they're asian, they're middle earn, they're all across america. some are coming from poverty. others recruited are very well off. 1/5 of them are women. we're seeing a threat all across america.

thanks for calling angie's list. how may i help you? i heard i could call angie's list if i needed work done around my house at a fair price. you heard right, just tell us what you need done and we'll find a top rated provider to take care of it. so i could get a faulty light switch

fixed? yup! or have a guy refinish my floors? absolutely! or send someone out to groom my pookie? pookie's what you call your? my dog. yes, we can do that. real help from real people. come see what the new angie's list can do for you. martha: we expect to have breaking news in 29 minutes from now. loretta lynch is expected to step in front of the cameras to announce a new civil rights enforcement action. it is believed to be an investigation into how the baltimore police department procedures are handled. the city asked for a probe of its police force the may did on wednesday. after six officers were indicted on various charges following the death of freddie gray who suffered a broken back while in police custody. we'll take you there live as soon as she gets there. gregg: a dire warning coming from the head of the federal bureau of investigation.

james comey saying isis actively recruiting hundreds if not thousands of potential new followers in this country. the fbi director says the terrorist army is growing increasingly sophisticated using social media to appeal to quote, disturbed people. bill gavin joins us, former assistant director of the fbi. bill great to see you. the words by director comey were very interesting. he said, terrorists are using the siren song of twitter to send the message, if you can not travel kill where you are. almost as if there is a devil sitting on their should saying kill, kill kill. what do you think of that? >> gregg there is a brand new paradigm with social media with the recruitment techniques of isis right now. in the past they have, they have gone to websites that are their own to entice people to either

go to syria to train or go someplace else. right now they're using the social websites, social media, to entice these people to either go away and learn how to fight, or to attack people within this country. the other side of the coin is, what they do with these websites on the social media websites, they move people over to a covert website a website that is encrypted. gregg: right. >> what happens when they do that, they fall off the grid for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. they go to the dark and it is very difficult to follow them. finding them to begin with is sort of like looking for a needle disguised as a piece of hay in the haystack. it is very, very difficult. gregg: well, you know counterterrorism officials are admitting openly what you're saying here and that is, with all the encryption involved and other devices it is very difficult for them to track them. how do we combat this?

>> there are a number of things that we have to do. we really have to be able to get into those encrypted sites as well. because, they're not only instructing these people they're not tutorials anymore for would-be terrorists. they are now directional. they're telling these people what to do within our own country to kill people. we need to get to the bottom of that. i tell you what, gregg, another thing that is very disturbing to me with the new phones and everything, they're not giving us in i back door to get into the encryption on some of the new phones. that is very disturbing because when this event occurs, and it will occur, when it occurs everybody is going to want to know why didn't you know and do something about it? well there are only some resources, so many things we can do. when the efforts that we're capable of doing are blocked, it become as real paralysis for doing the right thing. gregg: you just used the word

blocked. of course yesterday a court of apples federal court of appeals ruled data collection by the nsa is illegal. bill when it comes to gathering valuable intel in detecting terrorists threat are we being handicapped and stymied by, not just the courts but politicians? >> yes, we are being stymied, gregg. it is such a delicate balance at all times between libertarian and civil libertarians and the right thing and the wrong thing. you really don't want to spy on americans all the time but for the love of god we've got to remember we're in a battle it is a war a electronic war with isis. they're very sophisticated. we tend to look at them as a bunch of barbarians in many ways they are but when it comes to the recruiting techniques they're very sophisticated. they have things that appeal to the people who would want to do what they do and that is kill, wound, mutilate and abuse women,

everything they do. this is very difficult set of circumstances right now. gregg: as mr. comey said they attract the disturbed people. there are plenty of those out there prone to violence as well. bill gavin, always good to see you, sir, thank you. >> thanks, gregg. it is my pleasure. martha: so new york city bound flight forced to make an emergency landing in south carolina after smoke started streaming into the cabin. a passenger tweeted out these images because that what happens now in every crisis but this looks pretty scary. you can only imagine, must have been extremely tense in that cabin as this was happening. phil keating joins us live. he is in miami for us this morning. phil, what happened here? >> well, as you can imagine everybody started getting very scared up in the sky. the plane itself took off from fort lauderdale without any issues. for an hour or so into the flight, no problems at all. then suddenly everything changed. the new york-bound passengers took out their cell phones cameras recording what they were seeing.

that's when even unlikely passengers begin to pray. >> i started noticing at a certain point a mist coming through. then i realized mist coming through the cabin was smoke. i could smell the smoke. then i looked back toward the rear of the plane it was dark. and people were coughing. some people were crying. i'm not religious but i clenched my fifth and i said, okay, god i'm with you now. get us down please. and i promised to be a good boy. >> reporter: a good boy today, that's for sure. delta air lines said issue was oil leak in two of its engines. the boeing md-88 landed safely in charleston. they provided all 89 passengers with free snacks and drinks while waiting for replacement plane. i hope some. drinks had stiffness to them. by late last night everybody safely landed in laguardia, happy to be alive. martha: so relieved i'm sure. thank goodness.

what a scary thing. phil, thank you. gregg: today we mark 70 years since the end of world war ii in europe. >> we may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing. today is victory in europe day. gregg: we're going to head to washington, d.c. to see today's ve day ceremonies. and take a look back at the many sacrifices made by those brave men and women of the greatest generation. martha: looking forward to that that's coming up. plus was the texas draw the muhammad event meant to provoke extremists or free speech? a big battle over this. our political panel weighs in on what pamela geller was thinking when she set up the contest and was she right? >> someone who was following someone -- >> you are starting sharia. >> you just go over people. i think you are a about

self-promotion, pam geller. you're not about the real cause of free speech.

i've got a to-do list and five acres of fresh air. top three tools: hammer, screwdriver, front loader. happiness is a drive-over mower deck. a john deere dealer can teach tractors to anybody. in the right hands, an imatch quick-hitch could probably cure most of the world's problems. that's how we run, and nothing runs like a deere. see your john deere dealer for great green tag savings on the one family sub-compact tractors.

martha: some tough questions for the woman who set up draw the prophet contest in texas that ended with security guard wounded and two ice significance linked attackers dead. pamela geller is arguing that the it was about free speech and not designed to incite violence. >> what i find galling my motives have continually questioned by media, not jihadist motives. what is her motive. what is her motive? look at my work, 10 years after 9/11 i've been opposing sharia and jihad. media that have created these myths about me. but i ask you why haven't the media addressed motives behind. >> hang on. hang on. >> i have yet to meet an american -- >> let me jump in here. >> one question. why hasn't media addressed

motive behind jihadist. martha: i don't know that they haven't. let's talk about this bring in our political panel. juan williams, and mary catherine ham of hotair.com i say it twice. >> wee appreciate it. >> welcome to you both. good to see you here this morning. if you look online seeing exchange you had with pamela geller everywhere. we want to have you on talk a little bit more about this first question to you do you think that she has a right to do what she does? >> of course. and i think we all do. i think americans believe in free speech. almost like a civic religion, if you will martha, but the point is, that she engaged in behavior that was, i think almost reckless. i think it was provocative. i think she knows it was provocative. and you know, had some terrible consequences in terms of the injury to the security guard who was shot and death of two people. i think she knows this. martha: all right. so the comeback to that, mary catherine it is american

tradition to provoke. that that is what is allowed in this country. that is unwith things that makes this country so great. and, you know that, i think goes -- here is my issue with this i think everyone agrees on the fact she has the right to said. >> right. martha: people keep coming back how can you take away her right? she says she has been restricted in her speech. my goodness if she has been restricted in her speech, she has been on every program possible. she has had plenty of time to have her freedom of speech has she not, mary catherine. >> yeah, of course. i don't think she has not had access to free speech but i think she is right to say why is all the focus on me and my motives. at some point someone comes to murder you because you drew a cartoon, is not reasonable standard in a free country for murder. martha: absolutely not. >> then, at that point we have to say, i don't really care what you think about pam geller or her motives. you stick up for the person. i don't care whether you think "innocence of muslims" was a good documentary. at some point it is immaterial.

people are using it as a reason to kill people. in this country we stand up for free speech an stand up for prespeech that offends people. stand up for free speech we don't personally like. if we don't stand up things just the free speech you like is free speech and that ain't free. martha: i hear you. but juan, i think the question becomes what is wise? how do we end this problem? how do we eradicate isis from the country? we hear there are 1000 plus, perhaps people who have this motivation in this country, we saw what happened at that texas conference. how do we stop it? is this best way? >> no, i think what pam geller is doing is provoking people unnecessarily. you know, again yes, she has the right to say what wans to say, but she has made this into i think a self-promotional crusade. she told you, martha, earlier this week, she considers herself to be rosa parks of free speech. give me a break. reality is here, what she is doing is trying, i think it

is, i said last night on sean hannity's show, like pyromaniac oh yeah, i set the fire to see if the fire department's response time was adequate. that is not sensible. that is not wise is the way you put it, martha. she is doing something that i think is offensive to billions of muslims. but, more importantly it has no context. not like the political cartoonist in seattle, who was a political cartoonist to draw character of muhammad. >> now in hiding. >> not like salman rushdie writing literature. not like thigh owe van gogh making documentary about bad treatment of muslim women. martha: she says she right in that category with those people. you have to ask the question is she in that category? or more like the artist who puts the crucifix in the urine or preacher who says he will burn the koran. >> who we stick up for. mary catherine? >> yeah, so here's the thing. molly norris, who is the woman out in seattle, i believe that

is her name, she is in hiding now forever because she held everybody draw muhammad day as a political statement. i do think that is similar level. here is the thing. if people like "charlie hebdo" and pam geller, poor cartoonist draw a line in the sand where jihadists say they're not allowed to go. that is what they do. they're the one who is stand up to say this is where you guys want to murder me. i'm stepping there. if you don't step there somebody doesn't step there, if a lot of people doesn't step there of course the people come under fire. it is admirable to say this is free speech we're allowed to do it because it is drawing a cartoon. in that country if we give that up it's a problem. by the way self-promotion -- martha: critics you don't want to say you don't want her to have free speech. that is the not discussion. what bill o'reilly said this week i think he makes a very good point we're trying to get egypt on board jordan on board. we need muslim world. >> yes. martha: majority of people attacked by isis and al qaeda linked groups are muslims.

that is who is being killed more than anyone, more than christians more than jews. so we're going to trample what all of those people think and what they believe in order to make this point? >> we just shut up because people will murder us. that is not an option. >> no, no. to mary catherine's point when you see "charlie hebdo" engage behavior, push the line. they're a satirical magazine, we understand what they do. molly norris was political cartoon. >> only certain people are allowed to have free speech then. >> no, no. what you see pam feller engaged in is an tick behavior, mary catherine. just doing it to do it. there is no purpose to it. like gratuitous. >> one more thing juan. i can be gratuitous, right? i think self-promotion part doesn't matter. if i do a bikini photo shoot on goreouts world war ii bombers in

ve day in washington, some 7th century neanderthal doesn't think i have a right. it would be self-promotion. i don't deserve to be murdered, or cained. this is america we do stuff like that. martha: there is room for civility and respect and understanding where people are coming from. that is not -- >> not murderer something -- martha: absolutely not absolutely not. thank you very much. to you both. it's a subject of good conversation. i'm glad to have you both here. >> enjoyed it. >> have a great weekend. martha: you too juan. gregg: the world is marking 70 years since victory in europe. >> this is a solemn but glorious hour. i wish franklin d. roosevelt had lived to see this day. gregg: president truman. this is what ve day looked like back in 1945. that triumphant moment coming at cost of more than 400,000 american lives. coming up, we're going to show you what the united states is doing today to honor the

greatest generation.

were still at war over here. >> reporter: many of the veterans talk about how they know that their time to visit this memorial and to celebrate milestones like this is quickly running out. so that make's today's gathering of several hundred world war ii veterans even more special. there will be 15 formations today flying using 56 aircraft. each one represents an important moment for the united states during world war ii. for example, the story of scrambled jets at pearl harbor will be told with p-40 war hawks. battle of midky as pby catalina and douglas dauntless pass by and doolittle raid will be represented by north american b-25 mitchells. a handful of other battles will be remembered as well. these planes will fly just 1000 feet off the ground. you won't see any 737 or md-80s flying by about an hour the closest big airport, reagan national, has cut off all

verges you are looking at a live shot waiting for loretta lynch who is going to make a report and the news is they will launch a federal investigation into the baltimore police department. brand new hour of america's newsroom. i am martha maccallum. >> with baltimore's police department under fire after the death of freddie gray that sparked destructive riots and looting. they are expected to examine police practices looking for patterns of excessive force. rich edson is here.

what precisely is it federal government going to be examineing here? >> that you will launch a full-scale civil rights investigation into the baltimore police department and the officer's use of force. this is according to the baltimore sun. the mayor of baltimore asked the justice department to investigate their police department. lynch visited baltimore officials, police officers and community loaders on wednesday afternoon. the white house said they played no role in this leaving it up to the attorney generalment >> she was a federal prosecutor and has a very good understanding of the stay the law enforcement enterprises should conduct themselves. >> reporter: the investigation will look into possible patterns of discrimination and could lead to court monitoring of the baltimore police department.

>> this is on top of other investigations in baltimore? >> reporter: right the justice department is looking into if they violated freddie gray's civil rights. baltimore police department and local prosecutors are also looking into that case. it is those investigations and the state attorney's decision that produced charges for the six baltimore office in gray's death. >> let's bring in bret baier. the attorney general is expected to announce this investigation and your thoughts on the impact of this. >> you know it is interesting to have this mayor call for this investigation and the new attorney general in this new role launch this probe. there is not a sense that you know there are people who have been charged/indicted here who

are african-americans because of freddie gray's situation and death in police custody. as far as the racial aspect it will be interesting to see and hear what the new attorney general says about this and in particular baltimore. whether this is a civil rights issue, i think the bar to get to a civil rights violation in a police department is pretty high. it is just an interesting move to see the justice department move in this way this fast. >> we have heard the state attorney in baltimore coming forward with the charges against these six officers who you point out three are african-american and three are white in this case. but we have not heard the other side of the story yet. and in any judgment of any case we have to hear both sides of the story. so it is interesting the department of justice is taking action before we heard even that. >> well just to look back at

ferguson and the federal involvement there and the thought about the probe there and what did not happen. and that department of justice report that got to the point that said what did not happen. there were many things that happened in that police department and maybe that is what this investigation is looking at when it comes to baltimore. it seems like apples and oranges as far as cases. >> we remember the hands up don't shoot in ferguson that was spoken as if it were fact. and eric holder went down there and that turned out to not be the case and i think that is important. the department of justice has been proactive in these cases in a way some people have been critical of. but every one of these investigations has to be pushed in a separate way based on the circumstances of what happened that day in that moment with the officers. it will be interesting to see

what lynch says and whether or not she sticks the the specifics of the ace or broaden it out to retrain officers. >> the mayor's calls was much more broad, a broad look at the department not specifically freddie gray's case. that case is going forward on its own. we will see how specifically she gets into that case. how broad this investigation will be when she steps out on the floor. >> everyone is going to watch her presentation tone, and approach to this because she is new. we will take you live once she steps in front of the microphone. thank you, bret we will see you later. one of new york city's

finest is about to be laid to rest. the funeral of officer brian moore is today. the 25-year-old died after being shot in the head on patrol last weekend. he is the third nypd officer to be killed in the last month. julie is live on this. what is it like? >> reporter: driving in this morning was miles of sadness with blue ribbons and signs saying blue lives matter fixed with american flags as tens of thousands of police officers prepare to gather today amongst one of the toughest cities in the country men and women in blue will gather to try together today. let's look at some of the video we have to show you. i have never seen anything like this kind of presence when a

police officer dies in a new york city area and the tens of thousands flown in by jet blue 30,000 in fact were ushered in to attend the wake and funeral today. police departments all over the country who like brian moore fight every day. at 25 with five years on the force, a son, nephew and cousin of police officers prior earned medals for a 150 arrest. the governor yesterday at the wake told moore's family and his father in particularly your son must have loved you and followed you into the business. brian moore was pronounced dead on sunday two days after being shot in the head by a career criminal. the attempted murder charge on the suspect whose name i will

not utter today, has been upgraded to first degree murder. >> there has been tension between the mayor and the police department. how is he going to be perceived? >> he was at the wake yesterday and like other times they don't expect to turn their back on him. today is about brian. his loved ones his family and colleagues who loved him and said he was born into life as a cop and died to protect and serve. back to you. >> such a sad story. julie julie julie, thank you. we are going to take you back to washington as we await the justice department news conference that is about to get underway. we were given a two minutes warning a couple minutes ago.

loretta lynch is going to talk about how they will approach the investigation into the baltimore police department the practices there, and also the freddie gray case individually where six officers have been charged from second-degree murder to violation of duty all the way down the line. so it is interesting lynch, new to the job as ag wants to speak out on this before the other side has been heard. >> i was struck by your interview with the former attorney general of the united states who said it might be a mistake to overreact. well, here she is let's listen. good morning, everyone. thank you all for being here. i am joined by the head of the department of civil rights division and director ron davis of the community oriented police

service office for cops. over the past few days and weeks we have watched as baltimore struggled with issues that face our cities across our country. we saw the tragic loss of a man's life and a peaceful protest to express the concern of the community we have seen brave officers upholding the right to peaceful protest and sustaining injuries themselves and watched it through the issue of police community relations. when i travelled to baltimore earlier this week i had an opportunity to see the significant work the city and police department had done with the cops' office over the last six months through a reform process. but despite the progress being made it was clear that recent events including the tragic

death of mr. freddie gray gave rise to erosion of public trust. in order to help i have been asked to augment our approach to the situation with a court enforcement model. i spent the last few days with my team to consider which of the justice department's tools nets current needs of the baltimore police department and the broader baltimore community. today the department of justice is opening an investigation into whether the baltimore police department has engaged in a pattern or practice of violation of the constitution or federal law. this investigation will be begin immediately and will focus on allegations that baltimore police department officers use excessive force including deadly force, conduct unlawful searches, seizures, and arrest and engage in discrimination in policing. the cop's office will continue to work with the baltimore police department and the reform

process will convert to the provision of technical assistance to the baltimore police department. some may ask how this is differing from the current work with the baltimore police department and the answer is rather than examining whether the police department violated good policy we will examine if they violated the constitution and the community's civil rights. this approach has been welcomed by the paternal order of police in baltimore and i want to thank them for their partnership going forward. conducting the investigation and the police experts who assist them will engage with community members and law enforcement we will examine policies practices and available data, at the conclusion of the investigation, we will issue a report of our findings. if unconstitutional policy or practices were found we will seek a court enforceable agreement to address those

issues. we will continue to move forward to improve policing in baltimore even as the pattern of practice of investigation is underway. our goal is to work with the community public officials, and law enforcement alike to create a stronger better baltimore. the department of justice civil rights division has conducted dozens of these pattern of practice investigations today and we have seen from your work across the country that communities that went through this process are experiencing improved policing practices and increase trust between the police and community. in fact, i encourage other cities to study our past recommendations and see if they can be applied in their communities. this process is meant to insure officers are being provided with the tools they need including training, policy guiding, to

partner with civilians and stregthen public safety. for many people, the tragic death of freddie gray, and the violence that occurred, has come to personify baltimore. but i meant to people in the days following the unrest to pick up trash and clear away debris. and they are baltimore. i visited with elected officials who were determined to help the neighbors they love come back united. they are baltimore. i visited youth leaders who believe there are broughtighter days ahead and they are baltimore, too. and i visited law enforcement officers who worked 16 days without a break, and they were focused not on themselves or their own safety but protecting the community and they too are

baltimore. we know reform isn't easy. the challenges baltimore face didn't arise in a day and change will not come overnight. it will take time and sustained effort. but the people i met in baltimore from the protesters to the public officials to the officers including one who was injured amid the violence were all saying the same thing: i love my city and i want to make it better. that is why i am optimistic and hopeful about the days and weeks to come and i am confidant as the result of this investigation and the hard work ahead, and make no mistake, it is hard work all members of the baltimore community, residents and law enforcement alike will be able to create a stronger safer more united city together. thank you for your time and attention and i would like to open it up for a few questions. >> apart of the request coming

from the city what are you seen or heard from the residents of baltimore that lead you to believe the ongoing justice review needed to be augmented? are the problems deeper than you initially understood? talk about why the justice department believes this initial investigation wasn't sufficient. >> we believe in the collaborative reform process and it has helped numerous police departments across the country. but for it to be effective we need that three part base of support. the police engagement, elected official engagement, and community engagement and the ability to have faith in the process. obviously you have seen events change in baltimore and become more intense over a short period of time. was clear to a number of people looking at the situation that the communities frayed trust was

even worse and in effect been severed in terms of the relationship with the police department. we felt that was one factor in dealing with we would literally bow able to use reform to make the changes we need. also as we look more to issues facing the police department in terms of the needs they have and issues the residents were raising, they were more serious and more intense than when we began the collaborative review process. we felt the best thing was to induct an investigation to see if the issues rose to the level of federal civil rights violation if so have the best model to address them which is a court enforceable agreement. >> yesterday the reference to fracttured trust in police around the country not only baltimore and i wonder from

your standpoint how serious that fracture is around the united states. >> we have had a number of situations highlight this in cities ranging from all sizes and issues from being people harmed or deaths in custody. i know we see it when it occurs. but i think that the issue goes beyond just the interaction between the police and the community. because we are talking about generations not only of mistrust, but communities that feel very separated from government overall. and so you are talking about situations where there is a flash point occurrence that brings together years of frustration. and haz what you saw in baltimore when there was that night of violence and you see it in other cities around the country. you cannot look at a city and predict what is going to happen and analyze it. we are not looking to do that.

we hope our work through collaborative reform and past investigation, other cities can look at their own environment and decide what issues they see and whether or not some of the work that has been done in the past can be brought to bear and help them as well. and the gentlemen right behind you. >> will the department release the findings? >> this is loretta lynch, the attorney general, will indeed and announce a civil rights investigation into the legality of baltimore's police department use of force and whether there are quote systemic violations and discrimination. and she used the words a frayed trust she believes exist between the community and police in baltimore and hopes the model used will help other parts of the country. even though there is an ongoing

program supposed to help in baltimore she said it is clear more is needed and they will do a further investigation into what is going on in order to determine what perhaps the department of justice can do through the investigation to mend the frayed trust issues as she talked about in there. >> we will have more on this coming up and tom brady having to answer tough questions on deflate-game. >> there is a process going forth still right now. i am involved in that process. whenever it happens it happens and i will want to be there and comfortable in how i feel about th make. >> we will talk to jim gray the man posing the questions. and former nfl quarterback and champion joe fiesman will be here to weigh in as well.

your buddy ron is always full of advice. usually bad. so when ron said you'd never afford a john deere tractor you knew better. the e series. legendary quality. unexpected low price.

patriots' quarterback tom brady deflecting questions from our own jim gray that claims the patriots likely knew about the deflating. brady getting the home court advantage laughing off to some extent the questions levelled ad him during a pre-scheduled event taking place at a college in massachusetts. here is a little bit of the exchange: >> what is your reaction tom to the ted well's report? >> see i cannot usually say those things. i don't have any reeaction. our owner commented and it has

been 30 hours so i haven't had much time to digest it. but when i do i will let you know how i feel about it and everyone else. >> are you that slow of a reader? >> my athletic career is better than my academic career. i am used to x's and o's. >> let's bring in jim gray and i will be joined by former super bowl quarterback joe theismann. but first, jim timely event you booked last night but what did you think about his response? >> it was booked four months ago and at the time it was booked this wasn't on the table. he didn't want to get into it. he wants to be measured until

they say the punishment or what the commissioner says. that should some shortly and he will be able to respond better. he didn't want to for the time being. he answered some of the things such as this not being a tainted season and it hasn't taken away the joy of the super bowl. >> i guess time will tell when it comes to that. i am curious what you this can about the text messages. they are damming going back and forth between two of the equipment handlers. one calling themselves the deflater and talking about tom wants this and that. that is strong stuff jim. >> yeah, it doesn't look good. but it is also in context to a game where the balls were overinflated and brady feeling those balls were like cement and how did they get from where they were supposed to be to that

overinflated. you have to put it in the contextf of what it is. there is nothing in the texts that says deflate the balls from the guidelines. maybe to 12.5. but there is a lot of room in here, and tom brady's people, his agent and owner feel the report is flawed and not accurate. >> troublesome when you have a guy calling himself the deflater. in terms of the punishment is it suspension or fine? what do you expect? >> i don't know what to do expect. if you look at what has gone on for the browns texting and the falcons with crowd noise it looks like there is a heavy hammer and the commissioner changed his tune since making the wrong decision on ray rice initially and going through that

fallout. it is hard to see, you know just exactly what he will do on this and where this will fall out. i would suspect that there will probably be a substantial fine possibly a draft pick and maybe some sort of suspension for those folks. i don't know but i would guess. >> thank you first of all. i want to bring in joe theismann now. joe, thank you for being with us. what do you think, joe? >> jim did a great job trying to get answers from tom last night. he said what he was going to respond until all of the details are in. and i thought jim made another great point. if you look at the texts you see run of the references is the ball inflated to 16.

12.5-13.5 is the limit and it well exceeded. and the fact someone has the name deflator you are going to take air out or in based on what the quarterback wants. that is our tool of trade. so the feeling of the ball is very important to quarterbacks. if you have 12 footballs not everyone is inflated to the same pressure or psi. so i think it is a confused situation. what bothers me with the wells' report and the punishment is when they make the statement that brady was generally aware of the inappropriate behavior. that doesn't tell me that tom knew what was going on, tom instructed someone to do something, and that is where the reading into the text creates a very distorted view of what

might have taken place. >> i remember you saying when this came out you went out to a field and deflated the ball to the level this ball was at according to the judgment of those who tested it and you felt absolutely no difference in the ball. when you talk about what the saints got in trouble for, deliberately attacking players to hamper them to play at all and on the spectrum of this how serious do you think this is and if we asked for it to be at a lower speck, how bad do you think that is for the game? >> i would address the second part first. i don't like to talk about what tom might have done. i think it is damaging to the national football league because this is the competitive edge and the integrity of the game here is at stake. it isn't just a football team.

it is the world champion. the world champion quarterback. an organization that has been standing out for a decade in their ability to play the game and be a team people love to hate because they are successful. tom has what is perceived as everything in the world. people don't like you when you have that. the jets, miami dolphins, buffalo bill fans are elated with what is going on. i think the national football league is is a position where something has to happen. it is to a point where the league has to step in and say we are not going to tolerate this and you look at the history. >> we are going to get cut off. joe theismann, thank you much. hope you come back to talk more about this. >> the attorney general announcing a justice investigation into the baltimore

police department and taking questions about the threat of isis and we will play what she had in a moment. stick around for that.

let's take you back and play some of the questions lynch took about the growing threat from isis on our homeland after the attack on the texas museum. reporters asked how locals will be kept in the loop when there is a threat targeting a local event. >> when information is determined to generate a threat to any police department we provide them with as much information as we can. in this situation there was an individual who was under scrutiny before but not active in the past. so the information provided because more limited than the garland police would have liked or hoped to see but all efforts were made to provide them with information and they were

helpful in the results of the case and the results of the shooting that occurred. >> so next lynch took another question on what her department will do to combat the unprecedented threat of isis using social media to recruit people here in the united states. >> we are using all of the tools available to determine how social media is being used but as always we have to balance that with every individual's right to free speech and privacy rights. those are important concerns. we have to balance that with making sure what we do doesn't interfere with the free flow of all law uh biding individuals. this isn't a new issue. we have seen social media being used in a number of cases. it is an expansion of how the internet has been used for

several years in recruitment and radicalization of young people to join terrorist groups. >> we will hear more about privacy issues and tracking these people online to figure out what they are doing and trying to stop them before they do it. interesting comments there from the new attorney general loretta lynch just moments ago. well today is the 70th anniversary of the allied victory over nazi germany. it is a ceremony underway at the world war ii memorial with the news reel pictures honoring hundreds of thousands of the fallen who helped bring about victory in europe and preserve freedom in the western world. let's turn to general tom the u.s. air force retired and fox news military analyst. it is always a pleasure to speak with you general. talk about the importance of

today's event aespecially in the context of the heroism, sacrifice and bravery of so many. >> well it was probably the most important event in the 20th century greg. that and the fall of japan with those be and bj days. it had such a huge impact on the rest hof the century and of course up to today the impact is still felt. the democracy that flourished throughout the world with countries like germany and japan are now strong democratic societies who had such a huge influence on the world economically and politically and that was all done in that time frame from the start of world war ii on december 7th till to end on may 8th which is the 70th

anniversary today. it had a huge impact and follow-up. marshal plan the cold war, all of that transpired but we didn't have war in europe since that time frame. very remarkable. >> the allied victory changed the course of world history. we shutter to think what might have been had it turned out otherwise. this is such an important event today because it is 70 years since 1945 and yet the president of the united states is not there. does that bother you? >> it does seem strange or odd that on this important anniversary that the president would not be there or if he was about there the vice president or the secretary of defense. i have nothing against former ambassador rice but i am not sure with her background and

benghazi and the things, that this is the appropriate way to honor the veterans and there is going to be 300 plus veterans down there. i spoke at a veterans event for the honor flight veterans coming in from colorado world war ii korea and vietnam and it is important how the leadership and country and administration represents them for what they gave which was many lives in this case. over 400,000. i would be interested to see what the white house says about that. >> thank you for being with us on this special day. appreciate your thoughts >> thanks greg. >> we are getting breaking news from jennifer griffin reporting from the pentagon saying there is a new alert being extended on

we have breaking news about unspecified isis threats coming from the pentagon. jennifer griffin is live with more. >> we can confirm the head of u.s. northern command has issued an alert ordering all instillations military instillations, to raise their force protection level to bravo. that is an elevated force protection level but i am told from dod officials it is based on a general threat not a specific threat. it was a measure taken out of prudence according to the head of north-com admiral.

we are seeing this in light of the announcement by the fbi yesterday there are concerns about isis threats here in the united states. so this is a prudent measure taken by the dod, raising force protection levels to the broader level meaning there is more identification. >> it is almost like an acceptance that we are living in a heightened state of threat. >> absolutely. >> you were travelling with the air force chief, jennifer. what did you learn? >> it is ironic today is the 70th anniversary of the end of world war ii and incredible how air warfare has changed after flying over germany not knowing if they would come back. we spent two days at base in southern virginia home to the f-22 fighter wing and we learned

the planes have been involved in almost every mission over syria since the air campaign began in october. but the head of the air force explained to me how u.s. air superiority is slipping and russia and china are developing better fighter jets than the united states. >> by eight to ten years from you we could be facing as many as 50 countries who use russian and chinese fighters today. >> reporter: our allies usually buy our war planes and we are seeing them shopping elsewhere already. >> huge change in the way things are going. thank you jennifer.

let's go to washington, d.c. with the world war ii memorial is the scene were the 70th anniversary for victory over europe in world war ii. though the president of the united states is not there his national security advisor, susan rice rice is. les listen. >> the resistant movement in every european count rery and in the east. the people in russian and all of the former soviet states who endured the heaviest lost of the war. but we can celebrate their legacy. a legacy that could not be pictured in 1945 with the trauma of war so fresh. not just the europe that has known seven decades of peace and growing prosperity but the way

the seed of democracy has flourished around the world. the lasting bombs that unite europe and the united states the international institutions that have underwritten peaceful development, the continuing reaffirmation of those basic principles that formed our alliance that all men, and all women, of all land, should be able to live free from fear and want. when american and soviet troops met in germany in april of 1945 they met not only as victors in war but as witnesses to some of history's most unconsciousable crimes.

soldiers were sickened by the horrors. as one world we proclaimed never again and that legacy continues to drive us to stand against atrocities and acts of mass inhumanity. on the home front, the war helped unleash movements toward greater quality for all people. women stepped in factories to keep america's industries pumping and joined auxilary services. platoons of white and black gi's fought side by side and black service men, like my father, came back here to demand justice in their own lands. we honor all of those brave men and women. those who fell and those who

survive including the proud veterans of these who are here with us today. [applause] [applause] >> we owe each of you an unpayable debt and on behalf president obama let me reaffirm the gratitude of our generation. we will continue to tell the story to children who are untouched by war so they understand as this memorial reminds us, the price of freedom. we will continue to mark the anniversary of memory never

fades into complacency against the evils in the world. we will carry on toward a world of greater rights and opportunity so all men and women can live their lives with the basic human dignity that your generation fought for. one mission was to fill the 1945, the cause of defending freedom is never finished. as president truman put it we must work to bind up the wound of a suffering world, to build an abiding peace a peace rooted injustice and in law. that is the pledge we make again today and every day. and no matter how difficult the challenges that lie ahead or what obstacles arise, we will

never abandon this struggle. all that has changed during the last 70 years, one thing never will. the united states of america will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of the world on the side of liberty and justice for all. thank you very much. >> comments by susan rice the national security advisor to the president at the world war ii memorial marking 70 years over the unofficial end of world war ii. it is a beautiful day and we will watch the moving ceremonies throughout the course of today. greg? the attorney general loretta lynch just announcing the department of justice will investigate police practices in baltimore and baltimore's mayor

requested the review coming a week after six police officers were charged in connection with the death of freddie gray. kevin jackson executive director of the black spear and jessica urlis is here as well. good to see you both. kevin, the attorney general spent a great deal of time talking about the needed reform in baltimore. isn't that pre-judging the guilt of the police department for everything from excessive force to racism? >> absolutely, greg. and not only that the 370% of the violent crime -- 370% above the national crime average she should be looking at the police force as to why they are not being effective and part of that discussion should be the idea that since 1947 democrats have been in control of that city.

the mayor is a democrat 15 city council members are democrats, kathy pew served 30 years elijah cummings is there too. they should bleaking at the policies that led to this -- looking. >> lynch's predecessor was on our air and he said he suspected it may be a mistake to launch this kind of an investigation as a pre-text based on one incident. might he have a point? >> well this isn't based on one incident solely. >> it would not have happened had freddie gray not died. >> well no they already were

working on what they call a collaborative reform with the doj. the city of baltimore has been. >> that is different than a full on investigation. >> of course -- but it has to do it -- the reason they went into it is because they have had ongoing problem. they brought in the current police chief from california in 2012. the have been continuing issues with the police department. the police union is happy about this because they believe there are systemic problems within the system of the baltimore police department. there was a tragic issue, a horrible situation in this man's death with freddie gray and now it is being escalated to a situation where since they can't clean up their own mess they need to have people coming in. >> kevin you disagree. >> the mess it belongs to is the mayor who is calling in the troops. if you look at the problems connecting this go become to

ferguson. here is what they will not do. they will not look at the e-mails and look for racism. they will not talk about firing the police chief. that will not go picket at the mayor's house like they did in ferguson because it doesn't fit the narrative. this is a federalization of the police. there are 34 doj investigations around racial profiling and supposedly harsh police tactics. baltimore's crime rate is 370% above the national average. why are they not looking into why the police isn't doing a better job? >> i am up against a hard break because of the breaking news this hour. we invite you both back to talk about this more. we got word the pentagon is raising the level of security to
