test our resolve. have a great weekend, everybody. spring turns rough this weekend for millions of americans. with more tornados in areas already hard hit by is severe weather in the midwest. and tropical storm ana barrelling towards the mid-atlantic. we're tracking them both in the fox extreme weather center. >> days of these isis inspired gunmen opened fire in texas, we are learn inging mu details about just how many people in america -- islamic extremists and how hard it is for law enforcement to track them down. it's a new phenomenon. unlike al qaeda, isis basically gives leeway. some of those attacks can be small. some can be large or they could

occur anytime or any place. >> and jeb bush speaks to the 2015 graduates at liberty university today. so, what did he tell them about his plans for 2016? meanwhile, just a few hundred miles south, gop heavy hitters are taking to the stage. live look with rick perry. we're going to go live to the south carolina freedom summit. thank you for spending your saturday with us. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. >> nice to have you down from boston as well. nice to be with you at home. across the mid-atlantic, folks are closing hurricane shutters stocking up and getting ready to hunker down. if you think we're early for hurricane season you're right.

it is still tornado season and across the plains from kansas through oklahoma to texas, residents have a watchful eye towards the sky tracking it all is rick wright in the fox extreme weather center. rick what's the biggest risk right now? >> you know, there's a lot going on this weekend to be honest with you. certainly the severe weather. we're on day seven of the tornado threat across the central plains and because we've had multiple days of it, flooding is a major problem. that's a batch of rain that move ed through yesterday and now, we have the new batch that's storting this morning. that new batch might inhibit some of the activity we were expecting to see later this afternoon. we're going to watch it closely, but obviously, the flooding, a major concern for us and everywhere you see this green, that's where we have flash flood watches and warnings going on and this is flash flooding going on around plano just to the north of dallas. we have a lot more rain the to get to over the next couple of days. by tuesday, this bull's eye

stretches from southern parts of missouri down through oklahoma into texas where you see some areas of pink we're going to be looking at over 10 inches of rain. that means major flooding especially when you get into the mills of the ozarks there and even dallas, the dallas area could be looking at significant rain as well as down towards austin. all part of the system across the rockies bringing snow. we're going to have 5 to 10 inches of snow around the denver area by tomorrow afternoon. a lot of snow around the panhandle of nebraska up towards the black hills and that energy pulls out here to the plains and that's where we have the severe weather. one watch in effect but it's later on in the day. if we get clearing and then we have things heat up at the surface, that's when we're going to be seeing the potential for tornados. got to tell you, earlier in the morning, we had a risk here a moderate risk. they have lowered that. this is good news. i think the dynamics are not set up that we're looking at as much oz a tornado threat today as we thought. that said we are still going to

see tornados today, so places across western kansas, panhandle of oklahoma and to the west of oklahoma city, that is is going to be the biggest bull's eye and large and damaging ones. across the atlantic this is ana. it is about a 60 mile an hour sustained wind tropical storm and barely mooufg. it's been moving around 3 miles an hour just drifting off towards the north, but it is so close to the coast that we'll get there and that's likely going to be around 24 hours from now. sometime tomorrow morning making a landfall here probably around the myrtle beach area. all this means is we're going to be see inging maybe h to 15 inches of rain across the area. could see a tornado or two as the storm moves onshore and we're going to be watching a little bit of beach erosion here. think of this like you would a koes coastal storm you get down here in the southeast with all of those impacted. a big day. stay out of the water here. we are not talking about a

massive storm that is going to cause incredible problem, but a storm that is going to have some im impacts for all the people there. >> anything we can read into the fact that ana is come ging a couple of weeks before hurricane season starts? >> not really, to be honest with you. it's a great question. we are don't see hurricane season it starts june 1st, so we're a few weeks early, but this year we are expecting a below average season. because of el nino don't have time to get into it but i think we're going to see a lower than average season. >> busy man this weekend. tracking it all. thanks, rick. >> sure. >> hard to believe he just said the word snow there, but we're watching those tornados that threat in the midwest today and one of the state's hardest hit is oklahoma. a tornado left more than 50 people injured, several homes destroyed this week. will carr in bridge creek, oklahoma. what's the latest?

>> to give you a reference point, we're about 30 miles southwest of oklahoma city and every resident here is keeping a close eye on this storm system moving through this afternoon because they took a hard hit just a couple of days ago. the home behind me got hit by an ef 2 tornado and you can see the impact it took. the garage here on the ground level was hit. it ripped the brick wall off the roof here, partially gutted and all 35 homes were destroyed all across this region. more than 50 people were hurt. one woman was killed. many of these families lost everything. they lost all of their possessions, their clothes, their food. we've also seen and you just heard rick talk about the flooding there's been massive flooding starting wednesday night. they had 9" inches of rain in a couple of hours and we're supposed to see more going into this afternoon, so that's a major concern for people here as well and we stopped by the national weather service in norman yesterday. and we've been getting whereupon

dates updates non-stop. they say western oklahoma could see more tornados today. central oklahoma where we are, there is a slight chance of seeing more tornados but they say that everybody needs to be cautious. take a listen. >> number one, you've got to monitor weather forecasts through the the weekend. second have a plan already established. rehearse it with your family. be ready to put it into action if a warning is issued for your area. >> they say also a good idea to have a weather radio in hand. now, a couple of other things i want to show you behind me, we've seen a lot of homes like this that did not take a hit from the tornado, but they have blue tarps on top because they did get some damage and they're worry ed worried about flooding with the rain we're continuing to expect today and tomorrow and then everybody that we've spoken to who has had some kind of damage are the people who have lost their homes, they've had the same mentality around here.

they say they will pull together. we've asked several. they say they plan to rebuild and pull together and this really exemp fis their attitude on the side of this home we showed you partially destroyed, oklahoma strong with an exclamation mark. so they say they with the help of their community, they're going to pull together rebuild and push forward. >> thank you so much. the spirit of the people always overcoming the weather there. we're hope inging for pretty peaceful day for you there and of course if r that community. thanks, will. >> the fbi now says there are hundreds if not thousands of isis sympathizers in the united states. many communicating with the terror group using encrypted technology that means law enforcement isn't looking for a needle in a hay stack anymore, but now, they have to search for an invisible needle. they are being told to kill kill kill kill. former fbi deputy director joins us now. appreciate you being with us

sir. >> thank you. >> as you look at what happened in garland, texas, clearly, these guys were inspired by isis, yet thankfully, they didn't succeed. they were killed, only being able to wound one security officer. how far are we away from one being able to succeed? >> i think we're very close. if it weren't for the courage of the garland pd and fbi, they would have succeeded there. they got a break. the fbi had some information about these people. they were at least monitoring they weren't surveilling them. the director also came out with statements that more people are going to besurveilled, which is a very labor intensive operation. this is not a bank robbery gang. this is a movement of people dedicated to the philosophy of killing us and imposing surreal lawyers. we have a lot of trouble coming. >> and the fbi director seemed to allude to that. i want to put up the quote from comby.

it's almost as if there is a devil sitting on the shoulder saying kill, kill, kill, kill, all day long. they're recruiting and task inging at the same time. he says this is breaking down the paradigm between inspired and directed. what does that mean? >> well basically, some are directed. al-qaeda directed the attacks on 9/11. they clearly directed them and financed them and implemented them. now, what we have is more of a philosophy. this is like a great tsunami of philosophy that's directed against us so you don't have to be directed you can just be inspired by them. it doesn't take a lot tor a terrorist. it doesn't take a lot of training to go out to a mall and kill people. it's frightening because it doesn't take a lot of preparation. you have some guy that's inspired by this goes and gets a gun, a rifle especially that's a big problem for law enforcement and private security

both. >> in the case we're dealing with in garland texas, simpson, they knew who he was. there is a memo put out in the hours before this attack. how many folks do you think are out there that the fbi doesn't know about? what are the unknown unknowns if you will? >> it's hard to predict that, but i would have to say it's probably into the hundreds maybe thousands of individuals inspired by these. you take a person that's an inadequate personality, he has no connections to anything positive and somebody comes along and says god wants you to kill people and he takes that as a message and if god tells him to do it, sometimes, they ak on that and that's a big problem for us. >> when you go to that, is is there any way to stop these folk folks? is there any type of surveillance, intercepts or at some point, are we just going to have to live with the reality that between social media and the ability to have these encrypted communications this may become a fact of life?

>> the fbi can only investigate what the department of justice allows and the guidelines have been adjusted so it's harder for the fbi to do things. i think you'll see them lighten up, but also a lot has to come from citizens awareness and local police departments. a lot of the fbi's information comes from people private citizens like you and mye who see something or hear somebody say something and they bring it to the attention of law enforcement. we're all in this together. it's not the fbi protecting us our local police. it's us being aware enough that we can help those agencies do their job. >> in the garland case at least the folks who knew mr. simpson said they didn't think he would ever do something like this. danny colson we appreciate your insight. molly will have more coming up on the surveillance in just a couple of minutes. the threats the fbi has to investigate are broad. an fbi sting is captured a former federal employee for

allegedly attempting a cyber attack. then wanted to stel secrets to a former government. charles ek l ston now facing multiple felony charges. the indictment says he was planning the to unleash a virus through dozens of government e-mail accounts two years ago. he was hoping foreign governments would then gain access. the fbi says the computer code was transferred to government computers. the national security agency's controversial phone record collection program is is is under fire again. a federal appeals court declared this week the nsa's program exceeds what congress has allowed. this comes as capitol hill considers whether to continue to end or completely dismantle the program before the provisions expire. thanks so much for being here judge. >> good afternoon.

>> justice, ruling certainly comes at a key time with the rell krant partevant parts of the patriot act. privacy advocates, the aclu, but especially a kind of thought that says the nsaa's record program goes beyond what congress allows but it doesn't halt the program and throws it back in the lap of lawmakers. what's your take? >> well, my take is that this decision isn't going to have any immediate effect. and the court did not order an immediate end to this program. the optimal results from my stapt standpoint in its current form. which would allow it to continue and would clear up the court has somehow authorized in its present form. >> the court acknowledges

there's a national security -- that's what's going on. the metadata can reveal affiliations they can also reveal an individual's social status or whether and when he or show is involved in intimate relationships. that all sounds pretty intrusive. so where do you think the court's legal reasons goes astray here? >> i think it went astray in a number of places. its reason with respect to the program because the only way this information is is is used is if there is a foreign number that the nsa gets as connected to a terrorist location. they can then run that number against the numbers in the united states to find out whether it is either pulled or been pulled by any number. that's the only way that that information is used and there are only about 20 or 22 people who have access to it, so,

there's no day the mining and no content. >> bringing this up to today, we have isis. we have a group radical beyond al-qaeda. a heightened threat level. are you concerned about congress may do what they may alter here in the coming weeks? >> i'm concerned that people who claim to be privacy advocates are going to say that some how this intrudes on people's privacy privacy, when it doesn't, and therefore, persuade congress to abandon the program. that was simply deny us another way of tracking down people like the people who did what they were doing in texas. >> in 2006 president obama signed a reauthorization law sending most of the provisions of the act. here it is. the president has been clear that he believes we should end the section 2015 california metadata by creating an alternative mechanism to preserve the program's essential capabilities without the government holding the bulk

data. we continue to work closely with members of congress to do just that. what are your thoughts here? do you think we'll get somewhere with congress? are you concerned about how far they'll go? what they could alter? what could be left out? >> i think we'll get something from congress. i think altering it in the fashion the president suggested makes it tougher to examine the data. it doesn't protect anybody's privacy. all it does is make the government scurry around to get the data. the people who have custody of it have less in the way of clearance, training than the people at nsa, so it actually makes the information less secure, not more. >> wow. very interesting. former u.s. attorney general under george w. bush thank you so much. thanks for joining us here today. >> good to be with you. and now, of course we want to hear from you. what is the right balance between tracking potential domestic terrorism and protecting every american's

privacy. you can send your tweets we will read your thoughts later on in the show. >> already some good ones come coming. the race for the white house is hitting the south land. you're looking at the south carolina freedom summit in greenville, south carolina. top gop leaders are talking with conservative voters down there. we're going to tell you who is in the palmetto state and what their sells pitch is plus why is jeb bush at liberty university? we'll let you know and we are learning more about the massive justice department investigation into the baltimore death of a young african-american suspect who was in police custody. freddie gray. is the justice department overreaching this time? juan williams weighs in on that and the day after a deadly plane crash on a busy atlanta highway, investigators are telling us more about the three men and one woman who died on board. >> i looked to my right and i

seen a plane coming from -- that way. coming back towards me and some slam on brakes. i got out and looked to my left and the plane was up against the wall burning and i went over to see, could i try to save someone, but it was blazed up so bad.

you're here to buy a car. what would help is simply being able to recognize a fair price. truecar has pricing data on every make and model so all you have to do is search for the car you want

there it is. now you're an expert in less than a minute. this is truecar.

the ntsb says it's going to take about two weeks to reconstruct the plane from fell from the sky and burst into flames in atlanta yesterday. the pilot and three other family members were headed to oxford mississippi to attend a graduation ceremony at ole miss. the plane was slammed into the highway despite all the crash and fires, there were no injuries on the ground. a new justice department investigation will p put the baltimore police force practices under the mike scope. this in the wake of freddie gray's death and police custody this month. molly right here. already, president obama's new

attorney general announced a public civil rights investigation into the baltimore police department in the wake of the death of freddie gray and riots in baltimore. one former deputy attorney general in the civil rights division under george w. bush says this investigation may be warranted, but it shouldn't become a pattern. >> i think there are some risk -- swoop in and help and i don't think that's a healthy attitude to have. >> one legal expert at the conservative heritage foundation warns that this investigation may not be even handed. >> the downside is that they're asking a federal bureaucrats who are hostile to law enforcement, have no experience actually as law enforcement officers and they're not going to get a fair evaluation. of the practices in baltimore. >> but attorney general lynch disagrees. she says the probe will focus on allegations that baltimore police department officers used

excessive force including deadly force. conducted unlawful searches, seize gjereyurs and arrests. >> we will examine pollysys, practices and available data and at the conclusion of our investigation, we will issue a report from our findings. if unconstitutional policies or practices are found, we will seek a court enforceable agreement for those issues. >> near freddie gray's neighborhood. molly? >> thank you. >> the investigation by the justice department raises serious questions about what role the federal government should play in local law enforcement and whether this is about politics or truly about finding justice. let's bring in juan williams fox news political analyst. we just heard from robert dris kole in there. he said this sets a bad precedent.

every time somebody's upset with the president, the feds are going to swoop in. there's nothing that indicates in baltimore there's a need for a federal investigation. they investigated themselves and they charged these guys. >> what you've got though is the mayor asking for this investigation. >> so what you have is a tremendous concern i think nationwide about federal intervention in local affairs. >> you think it's warranted? schools or police. in this case when you have a request from the mayor, yes, it's warranted. if the mayor wants to help she's going to get it and i think it's appropriate for the federal government to offer that help. now, an important point to note you've got a black mayor, a black majority city council, black police chief. >> majority black police department. >> what you have here is a situation where unlike ferguson or cleveland, you have a sense of collaboration and cooperation. that i think sets this one apart.

but you're point is well taken that there is concern about the federal government somehow trying to nationalize the police. >> when you look at what the federal government is going to now investigate in baltimore, has nothing to do with the death of freddie gray. this is pattern practice investigation. why, if you're the mayor, don't you go rather than going up go back down to the police chief level and say, you need to fix your house and this is how we're going to do it. gl because i think they've done that and remember a lot of this in terms of pattern and practice has to do with state law, history. and has to do with the power of the police union in the city of baltimore. and they are trying to shift that whole culture and structure and it goes beyond the city. ik i think that's why the mayor requested that. i think it's a real sign of weakness ont of the city. again, your point that you know why can't they just take care of their own business. >> weakness when it comes to the city.

weakness when it comes to the mayor. this is a mayor who up until two weeks ago was on the fast track to the democratic party. it seems as though she's reeling from this, trying the duck try trying to ask others to investigate. what does this mean? one level after the investigation, she can be the champion of cards, but does this chauffeur they are down problem? >> i don't know. interesting you bring up the political angle because remember senator is retiring and for a time, stephanie rollins blake was one of the people being thought about as a possible replacement. she is an official of the democratic national committee. and the thought was she's very smart, attractive young black politician with quite a high horizon. after that event, i think that horizon has been impinged and again, the story's not written. she's such a young person. for the moment you have to say she took a step back politically in terms of democratic party politics.

>> in terms of just leadership in baltimore, she didn't if anything, larry hogan, the governor, really came out and said shining leader at her. >> hogan came out, threw her under the bus when waiting for her call. a lot of people say it wasn't the republic of baltimore. if he saw a kris kris, he could be more effective. when i talk to mayor, these are democratic mayors up and down the east coast in the aftermath of baltimore and your terrific work there, leyland, i have yet to talk to one mayor and i've talked to half a dozen now, who say she waited too long. why didn't she be very clear with the police that they had to go in and arrest those young people in an aggressive manner to make it plain to -- and criminals that this was not going to be a street party for them to go in and loot stores. gl it was definitely a street party on monday night as we watched it play out.

well, the politics of this will play out long after the streets of baltimore are safe. juan williams we appreciate your insight. molly? >> coming up, nasty weather in the midwest as storm chasers catch multiple tornados forming. we will take there and a surprise on the east coast as a couple of storms spin in the atlantic near north carolina. also another cattle call for the gop presidential contenders. this time it's in the south. carl is live if south carolina home to one of the most important presidential primary elections. >> hi molly. there are a number of republican presidential candidates gathered here in greensville and conservatives from all over the palmetto state to listen to a number of presidential candidates. a lot to talk about religious freedom. we'll have a lot more coming up in just a few minutes. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it. "depreciation" they claim. "how can my car depreciate before

it's first oil change?" you ask. maybe the better question is why do you have that insurance company? with liberty mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

tropical storm ana is is

strengthening. folks on the east coast are quickly preparing. bring you updates in addition to going live to myrtle beach. meanwhile, the central and southern plains are bracing for more strong storms. the national weather service is warning about the risk of severe thunderstorms, flash flooding and possibly tornados today in parts of colorado, kansas oklahoma as well as texas. you can see the watches and warnings on your screen. could get worse as the weather warms up this afternoon. well the wicked weather is not putting a damper on the freedom summit in south carolina. the all important and conservative palmetto state hosting one of its first major forums for the 2016 presidential contenders.

it is in greenville. most of the gop's big names are there and that's where carl cameron is standing by. what are we hearing from these 2016 hopefuls today? >> well there's been a lot of foreign policy talk, a lot of national security and religious freedom. what we're seeing is a case of split screen politicking in the old south. while a lot f f the republican candidates led by scott walker are going to be here giving speeches to a conservative crowd, jeb bush is in virginia where he's at liberty university giving the commencement address and will not be attending today. for mr. bush it's a chance to talk a lot about his freedom and christianity. he's a catholic and makes a big deal about how faith could have an effect on his decisions as president and gives him a chance to court evangelical conservatives here in virginia. in this form there are a number of conservative candidates who

have made references to the need for the republicans to avoid a moderate avoid an establishment type of candidate and to find somebody who will be a true conservative and adhere to rights of principles. we heard from mr. walker and santorum. walker is on his way the israel next week to sofrt build on his foreign policy and rick santorum who has been talking about the threat of islamic radicalism for 20 years. >> you've got a president who drew a line in the sand an allowed people to cross. you've got a president who just in the past year isis the jv quad who calls yemen a success story, who calls iran iran a place we can do business with. if these folks want to bring back a seven century version of islam, my recommendation is let's load out of bombers up and bomb them back to the seventh century. >> very tough stuff from mr. santorum as well as scott walker and both of them just the

beginning of what's going to be a long stream of candidates and other speakers who aren't running for president, but notable republicans and conservatives from around the country. they've been e it rateing the need to focus on conservatives and jeb bush because of his brother and father, the last two republican presidents and some of his policies, is simply too mad moderate. in virginia he gave the commencement and clearly he emphasized foreign policy but he too, made a very very important point about religious liberty. >> where ever there's a child waiting to be born, we say choose life and we say it with love. where ever women and girls in other countries are brutally exploited or treated as possessions without rights and dignity, we christians see that arrogance for what it is. we reject that sin against our brothers and sisters and we defend them.

>> jeb bush leads in the national polls and he is far ahead of the rest of the pack h terms of fund raising, but within the republican party, particularly the conservative base which tends to hold sway in iowa, new hampshire and here in south carolina he has pop larir ty problems, not just because of his name, but his policies. here, at the freedom summit in south carolina it is an emphasis on conservatives and later, we'll be hearing from bobby jindal, ted cruz. after the lunch break, the next speaker will be donald trump and it's going to get loud in greenville south carolina. >> absolutely carl. thanks so much. all these dynamic voices that are getting started. i can't wait to see you on the campaign trail. >> well tomorrow's mother's day, all the candidates are wishing their moms advance mother's day. my mom's in new hampshire. love you, mom, see you real soon. >> thanks so much carl. appreciate your insights.

thanks so much. and next -- here's something else. don't forget to watch tomorrow. chris wallace has an exclusive interview with dr. ben carson who announced this week he is running for president this 2016 so check your local listings for that. in raug 40 inmates, some want ed wanted on terrorism charges are on the loose after a jailbreak that happened north of baghdad. a fight broke out and the guards were overpowered and somehow, the weapons they had were then seized by the terrorists. we go to john following this from our mideast bureau. what happened? >> well this was a bloody situation. at this point, we're hearing that at least 12 guards were killed and as many as 50 other prisoners were killed when this broke out. it happened in the al kalis prison, about 50 miles north of

baghdad in chas called the diyal diyalaens diyalaens. . when the guards tried to get involved and you mentioned, they were overpowered, their weapons taken. and as i said 12 guards were killed. as many as 14 others were badly injured. we know that of the inmate some were being held and convicted on terrorism charges. this is dangerous. -- it does not appear that isis was involved in the planning or the organizing this overall prison riot and the ultimate escape. now, that has been the case in the past. most in particular the prison riot and the escape act in 2013

when 500 inmates escaped from that prison with help from militants from the outside. but this does not appear to be the case in this prison riot and escape forces are on the hunt for those escapees. >> we'll see if they have success rounding them up a second time. john hud di in jerusalem. still ahead, the nfl is debating the future of tom brady after his alleged involvement in the deflate gate controversy. plus, the trial of the boston marathon bomber is almost over. but as vick the times give their last testimony, the prosecution is is fighting to keep a well-known author out of the courtroom. >> it's not something that will ever be over. you know, you'll feel it forever. there will always be something that brings it back to the forefront.

to be coguardians responsible for the decision about the care of the ailing 22-year-old. four months ago, she was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home. her lawyer reports she has opened her eyes since her release from the hospital in march. the trial of tsarnaev the winding down. the lawyers are expected the rest their case this upcoming week but before they do, they

hope to call the famed dead man walking nun. prosecutors want to keep her out of the courtroom. ayman has worked both sides of the case. she joins me now to talk about this. amanda, thank you so much for being with us. >> she has this powerful voice she's developed about advocacy and why do you think that the defense attorneys want to put her up on the stand and why do you think prosecutors are trying to so hard to keep her from testifying? >> that it's going to take a decade or so of appeals before someone can be considered that the death penalty is the right sentence. the prosecutors are arguing it's irrelevant. the fact of the case should

indicate whether it should be a death or life sentence. i think the defendants are realizing they doept have enough factors, so they're going to try to take a different avenue which is bring in the testimony to support that the death penl sy penlsy is is not worth it. >> we've been covering this every day in boston and what i'm seeing in the last couple of weeks, it's their turn presenting these mitigating factors. they've called tsarnaev's old teachers to the stand, his relatives from overseas, talking about this sweet child. we have a number of pictures of him as a child, but is that enough to overcome the fact he put this bomb down behind a row of children at the finish line of the boston marathon? can those two even out in some way and save his life with this jury? >> the problem i think that the defense has is that they don't have enough mitigating factors. the fact remains he killed three

people and injured 260 individuals. he brought mayhem, torture and destruction to the marathon and every person that was there and their families. so the fact is not changed by the testimony of the teacher saying he was a nice child. it's mitigating in the sense they can argue he should be saved. his life is worth saving that he has good attributes but i think the jury is going to be faced with these gruesome pictures and they're going to most likely not find the sentence of death. >> when you talk about these graphic pictures we've seen and also the testimony, the stories that the victims have shared we also have a little clip of audio to let our viewers listen to. i want to warn this is really impactful audio. it's hard to listen to but it's from the scene of the bombing. take a listen.

>> something blue up. somebody happened -- holy [ bleep ]. that's from the scene of the second bombing. that is the bomb that was by dzhokhar tsarnaev. there are all the elements the pictures and the video that are bringing the jurors in a sense to that scene. is it difficult in that sense for the defense to overcome how graphic the crime is and the fact there's a way to bring it to the juries like the prosecutors have? >> it's very difficult for the defense. because for the defense to argue you have to save my client's life they have to argue that the defendant's life is worth saving. that he's going to contribute

one way or another to society, for the benefit of society. so when you show the gruesome pictures and the victim statements that come in about how it destroyed their lives and the fact that this was a planned crime, that he carried out, it is difficult to say just because he was nice when he was a child or did well when he was in school that's enough to save his life. >> all right. >> in all reality it's not. >> amanda i'm sorry we're going to have to wrap you up. but thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. we really appreciate it. we'll be keeping an eye on this trial. thank you. as reached critical mass. that's what a type e* does. with e*trade's investing insights center, you can spot trends before they become trendy. you know, in any job any profession image matters. i want some gray...but not too much. only touch of gray uses oxygen to gently blend away some gray but not all for that perfect salt and pepper look. satisfaction guaranteed. just you and the look you want. just for men touch of gray

...for those breathless moments. hug loud, live loud, polident. ♪ ♪ hello and thanks for joining us for this second hour of america's news headquarters straight from the nation's capital, i'm molly line. >> i'm leland vittert, from tornadoes in the plains to a tropical storm now bearing down on the carolinas as we speak, millions of americans are in the bull's-eye of some dangerous storms. tropical storm ana is just about 24 hours from making landfall in the mid-atlantic on the coast there. jonathan in myrtle beach, residents are already preparing for this storm, right? >> reporter: they are indeed

leland we're in one of the breaks in between the feeder bands where the sun comes out and people return to the beach. it looks like a beautiful day at the beach but it can be deceptive. you can see the heavy surf here and because of the potential for rip currents lifeguards are telling everyone to stay out of the water. local officials are also worried about the potential of beach erosion. now, they're not expecting a whole lot of damage from the wind but just south of us in georgetown county, the local emergency management director said the issue is not so much the storm's strength but its timing. >> our biggest concern is with the storm especially early in the season or not even in the season yet is people don't take these type of situations to heart. normally they wait for that summertime before they start preparing for any type of hurricane or tropical activity. >> reporter: in between the bands of rain people are still heading out to the beach. although most are staying on shore, heeding the warnings about potential for dangerous

rip currents. while the threat of severe weather always cuts down on outdoor activities in myrtle beach and surrounding tourist friendly communities many visitors say they are chasing tropical storm ana in stride. >> we don't pay any attention to the storms on the coast anymore. we've been here many times with hurricanes coming through so, you know our luck is that we always vacation during a storm. >> reporter: the atlantic hurricane season doesn't officially begin until june 1, however, the may tropical storms are not completely unheard of. meteorologists have reported a total of 23 such storms since the year 1851. back to you. >> evidently ana didn't get the message she was supposed to wait until june. jonathan we'll check in you as the storm gets closer. in the meantime don't get a sunburn. molly? >> let's check in with the latest movements on this preseason tropical storm. rick?

>> hey there, molly, i hope that woman doesn't always say that she weathers any of the storms. it's not a good idea. this storm i think people will be fine. this is the storm and it's been kind of in the same spot for the last couple of days. not moving very quickly at all so everybody has plenty of warning and the feeder bands or the outer bands have been moving onshore the last couple of days. it is making a very slow progression towards the northwest and as it does we'll see landfall overnight and tomorrow morning. likely around the myrtle beach area and areas off to the right of it seeing more rain maybe 3 to 5 inches in a few isolated locations. a little bit of coastal erosion and a very dangerous time out on the seas here but we're not going to be watching big flooding. we'll see wends maybe 50 to 60 miles an hour at times. that will cause potentially a few trees and such to go down. a couple other stories we're watching. one is snow. we've got snow that we're dealing with tonight and tomorrow and into monday morning

across parts of the panhandle of nebraska out across the black hills of south dakota and in wyoming and down towards the denver area. some spots will pick up over 2 feet of snow we're in may and talking about over 2 feet of snow so that's not fun. we already have the snow fallingu see on the reedadar picture and that's been driving the severe weather we've been seeing for days on end. today is the seventh day in a row with tornado threats across the plains and it's tornado alley and we've got a couple more days to get through. one severe thunderstorm watch in effect not so much a tornado threat but that will pop up later this afternoon if we get some clearing back behind the rain showers that are moving on through right now. if you get the clearing then you get the instability and the ground heats up and you get the lift that you need for the tornados to take place. earlier today and yesterday we had a moderate risk right here across western oklahoma and kansas. that has been downgraded a little bit so i think what we had thought we might see a major outbreak of tornadoes i think that chance is a little bit

less. we will still, however, i think see a few tornadoes here. folks in western kansas and eastern colorado and parts of oklahoma need to watch this very closely. we could see a tornado or two later on today down across parts of texas. but that's today's threat. tomorrow it scoots off toward the east a little bit. you see parts of iowa nebraska south dakota and minnesota and then stretching down through arkansas and texas and even on monday we're still dealing with this. the northern end scoots a little bit off towards the east but the south still seeing that threat for severe weather across eastern texas and a lot of rain coming molly. we'll see big flooding unfortunately across much of texas and arkansas and into louisiana. >> wow, rick thank you so much. there's so much going on i can't believe we're still talking about snow. thank you very much for bringing all that up. now we're moving to one story of devastation. this is from the lone star state. wise county texas, resident annette picnpaw's home was the only one destroyed by a twister.

she said her gut told her it's time to get out. >> where to start? >> where to start? >> we've been here 20-plus years and never even had to replace a roof from a storm. never. >> and they say they're working to rebuild their livelihood now, but more severe weather is expected to hit the central and the southern plains throughout the weekend. very difficult for folks trying to clean up out there. and america isn't the only place facing severe weather. in the philippines hundreds of people are evacuating as a powerful typhoon comes in from the south pacific. many remember the destruction the last typhoon there caused. officials now fear mud slides volcanos erupted earlier this week. the storm is expected to make landfall tomorrow bringing strock winds and a lot of rain. and forecasters warn of a storm surge that could then swamp some of the coastal communities there. >> a humanitarian catastrophe is building and that they are running out of food. they are running out of

medicine. they're running out of fuel. and clearly it is an important moment. >> at a news conference yesterday in paris, secretary of state john kerry along with saudi arabia's foreign minister urged a stop between the fighting of the shiite rebels and yemen. they announced a cease-fire starting on may 12th. kerry said the u.s. and international aid groups are working to get supplies to civilians in yemen after the cease-fire. that conflict has killed more than 1,000 people mostly civilians since march 19th. above the national mall yesterday two formations of vintage bombers and fighters and cargo planes. the celebration marks 70 years since ve day the day nazi germany surrenderen conditionally to allies. the lumbering planes reminded a powerful reminder how superior

the air strategy is in wartime. our dominance in the air might be coming to a close as other countries develop long-range stealth aircraft and the u.s. lags behind. >> china and russia are two good examples of countries who will be fielding capability in the next three to five years if they stay on track that is better than what we currently have in many areas. >> fox news military analyst retired navy captain and fighter pilot chuck nash joins us as well. from the air force chief of staff, better than we have in many areas in three to five years. that sounds scary. >> well i think he also qualified that by saying if they stay on track. the russians are developing their aircraft that they recently announced they're going to cut it back significantly. and it's an economic factor. strong economies allow for strong militaries. if the economy goes down as the russians are suffering, it's going to affect what they can

do. >> the chinese, though, are still doing pretty well. is this a service chief sounding the alarm bells so he gets more money for more toys, or is the idea of u.s. air superiority really at risk? >> i think right now the air superiority is not at risk. however, what he's doing is projecting into the future. the chinese are sitting on -- >> it takes a long time to develop these kind of programs. >> it does indeed. and what we tend to do because we tend to build ubersystems they cost a lot and then you get into the production and you can't afford to buy them all so you reduce the number and when you reduce the number, what do you do? you also raise the unit cost and it's a self- -- self-fulfilling or defeating prophecy where you get into this spiral of fewer numbers, greater costs yields fewer numbers. >> all of a sudden have one bomber that costs hundreds of millions if not a billion dollars. >> we were supposed to buy a couple hundred b-22s and we bought in the 20s and we have 22 remaining in inventory.

when you buy that few of something that costs so much to develop they get very expensive. >> you brought up the issue of money. the u.s. depending on who you talk to spends roughly $600 billion give or take in billions we're talking about real money here -- >> trillions. >> over half a trillion. the next 13 countries combined spend about that much countries 2 through 15. the rest of the world $349 billion. when we're spending that much money how is it that we are not far and away the best and will be the best for years to come? >> i think -- >> are we not getting our money's worth? >> i think a lot of it is the way we buy. we used to have many many many more companies in the defense industry. but over the years, that has resulted in a tremendous amount of consolidation. >> we're looking at the f-22. something that cost a whole lot of money and many people say hasn't performed in the way it has. also the joint strike fighter very expensive. didn't perform. >> well joint strike fighter right now is the most expensive military program in history.

end to end which is where we are now all the way through to where we retire that airplane the program cost is going to be probably over a trillion dollars. so when you buy something that expensive, it has to last a long time. well if you built something that has to last a long time and it takes you 20 years to field it in the first place, then it's going to be expensive. why? because it has to last a long time. you get into this loop. >> but at some point what was cutting edge 20 years ago is stuff that is obsolete at this point. if you think about it the chinese and the russians have been known to hack into our computer systems and get exactly what we're working on to get ten years of r&d for free. >> you got it. there's one of the big things. people talk about cyber and they're trying to get their arms around what it means, good old plain hacking of breaking into a defense contractor's computers maybe not a frontal assault, maybe they go through a third tier supplier and they go through the third tier

supplier's lawyer's office and you work your way in and the next thing you know you are surking out massive amounts of information for which you pay nothing and the united states paid a great deal in research and development costs. >> unbelievable. and the inability to project force in the united states would be difficult considering how much we rely on our air force around the world. >> indeed. we can't do without it. >> and the navy as well. >> absolutely. >> we appreciate your time. molly? >> still to come a brand-new study finds a new reason why you need to immunize your children against measles. why it may help avoid a whole host of bugs. we'll explain. plus a daunting and deadly decision faced by three air force combat patrollers. a true tale of american heroism. we'll meet one of the amazing men from that mission next. and 70 years later a monumental celebration in our nation's capital and around the

army special forces special tactics airmen air force and army aviation, afghan security forces meeting and beating a numerically superior enemy on their own turf. this this is why our enemies do not choose to take us head-on. men like these will make them pay. >> it is a true story of american heroism. three air force special tactics combat controllers refused to allow their team to be taken hostage in afghanistan last year. the air force awarded the brave men with prestigious valor decorations including the silver

star and air force cross. we have senior air menmen joining us. thank you for joining us and thank you very much for your service. >> thank you for having me. >> i know it can be difficult for soldiers to talk about what happened in war but also because you're humble. but i ask you to share your story with us. you received a silver star. really an incredible decoration but it occurred because of this very difficult battle situation that you found yourself in the helmand province in afghanistan. you had a big team with you, of course but what happened when you touched down? what were you expecting and what really happened? we have a really bit of video which is astounding to see to share with our viewers. airman? >> so upon entering the helmand province or the area we touched down about 02 in the morning. and originally we were sent

there to disrupt enemy insurgents' activities and to limit their activities throughout the rest afghanistan. we decided to clear the bazaar and to try and find some caches which we did. upon finding these caches the special forces team the experts in explosives they destroyed these caches which consisted of drugs, ammunition weapons. and once that was complete we decided to push back to our strong points and our observation points. and pretty much just hold down until either we were attacked or we were going to leave. and between 08 and 09 we begin getting heavy fire from enemy activity -- enemy positions, and that's what started the 48-hour firefight. >> and, airman you were significant outnumbered here. you had did you figure out they

were hoping to take hostages in this battle? >> well they utilize just radios to communicate with each other. and we're able to intercept these communications utilizing the same radios. >> and is that a big concern there? clearly you risk -- you are at risk of death and also of injury. but is it a big concern? you wouldn't want to be taken hostage, of course and how do you avoid that situation? >> well throughout my training throughout the two years, 2 1/2 years of my training we are trained to be stressed -- stressed induced in situations like this. and if not for my training i don't know how i would be able to react to that but my instructors put me through some pretty intense scenarios to avoid situations like that. >> my understanding is you were really exposed to gunfire to the possibility of severe injury and death in this battle and that you did things that saved other

people's lives in this battle situation. what was it that made things a success in the end, that helped to get so many people out of that situation alive? >> i think the biggest -- the biggest reason for success was the team itself. everybody -- when things go wrong, everybody comes together. of course, you always plan for the worst but you can't plan for every factor. and the team coming together and pretty much just having that camaraderie and that brotherhood, i think that was the most important thing that got us through that 48 hours. >> and what was it like? this is a 48-hour battle and we see just this little bit of video of what happened there. but how do you sustain over 48 hours? >> i think you sustain that through intense training. not only just, you know of

course our career we go through intense training such as scenarios like this but every other career field does as well such as the special forces and the navy s.e.a.l.s, they go through training that prepares them for situations like this. >> all right. airman goody goodman for sharing your story. it's so important that we have a chance to hear these stories and to know that this is what's actually happening with all of our soldiers and troops all around the world. and they sacrifice so much. sharing your story. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate it. >> all right. let me talk about a quiet professional you know what they mean. thousands across the world celebrated the 70th anniversary of the end of world war ii on friday in europe. queen elizabeth lit the first of 2,000 beacons in the united kingdom and dozens of world war ii planes flew over washington for nearly an hour to mark

victory in europe or ve day. hundreds of veterans gathered at the world war ii memorial to watch those planes take flight under much safer circumstances and they watched them 70 years ago above the skies in europe. in russia they call ve day simply victory day. and for the past six decades moscow has used massive military parades through red square as a chance to flex their muscles. this year there's a lot of flexing going on and president vladimir putin used his speech not to celebrate the heroes of world war ii but to take a swipe at the united states russia's ally against the nazis. amy kellogg is live in moscow where it's already late saturday night. amy? >> hi leland you can look at this parade a couple of different ways. a lot of people abroad have seen it as a rather deliberate show of military might meant to send a message at a very sensitive

time in geopolitics with the situation in ukraine what it is. but for many here this is a display of decorum and respect for the 26 million soviet citizens who died during world war ii. now planes flew in formation over red square to mark the 70th anniversary of the end here. move 16,000 troops some in new kits and the new tanks were trotted out, the armada which has an automated loading system and an unmanned turret was sort of the top showpiece here. russia is midway through a $700 billion upgrade of its military. president putin, meanwhile, took a less-than-veiled stab at

russia's old allies the u.s. and the west. >> translator: in the past decades basic principles of international cooperation have been increasingly ignored. principles won by mankind after the hardship of war. we have seen attempts to create a unipolar world. we see a military bloc expanding. all this undermines the stability of global development. >> now, this is a day to commemorate the victory over the -- of the allies in the west. it happens a day later than in the west because of the russian time. but most heads of state who showed up were asian, african, arab and latin america. western leaders including president george w. bush were here in moscow for the 60th anniversary. of the end of world war ii in europe but not this time around.

the guest of honor was the chinese leader and, leland frankly, there's been a lot of attention placed on his visit here because a lot of deals have been cut between the chinese leader and russia in the last 24 hours. including a pledge from china to step in with financing for russia filling the voed where sanctions have cut russia of a. leland? >> the russian economy continues to reel not only under sanctions but oil prices they crashed as well. amy kellogg live in moscow. thanks amy. molly? coming up after the break we'll have the latest track and update on the strengthening tropical storm in the atlantic. there are a lot of republicans running for president and several are taking the stage right now at a summit in south carolina a very important primary state. and we'll have a fair and balanced debate about the impact of a crowded field on the republican party. and the candidates themselves who are campaigning hard for the oval office that is all coming

up next. ♪

tropical storm ana is making an early appearance before the official start of hurricane season. it's strengthening and slowing as it gets closer to the carolinas. folks on the east coast are preparing for drenching rains and very strong surf. the national hurricane center says the storm has sustained winds of 60 miles per hour. the current track has it going very near the north and south carolina coasts tomorrow morning. we'll continue to monitor the storm and bring you updates. meanwhile, the great plains are bracing for more strong storms today. the national weather service is warning about the risk of severe thunderstorms, hail and possibly tornadoes in parts of

colorado kansas oklahoma, and texas. you already need two hands to count the number of republicans running for president. by the time summer ends you might just need both feet as well. >> i am announcing that i'm running for president of the united states. >> i am putting myself forward as a candidate for president of the united states of america. >> i announce my candidacy for president of the united states. >> yes, i am running for president. i think i'm the best person for the job. >> i'm ben carson and i'm a candidate for president of the united states. >> i am a candidate for president of the united states of america. >> in case any of us were wondering what they were really doing up there. so are all theses ones good for the republican chances to win the white house in 2016 or does a large primary field make it

harder on the eventual nominee? here for a fair and balanced debate angela mcglown and president of new heights communication christie detzer ladies thank you very much. angela choices are good in the cereal aisle, it's good to have them there, is it good in presidential candidates? >> i think it is. we'll have a diversity of solutions in the debate. there's so many ills in america it's going to take several people to solve the problems that the democratic administration have created. what i'm hopeful is when we do have the debate we don't go after each other and give fire to whomever is the democratic presidential hopeful. >> we can only have one nominee. does it make it easier on the democrats to have the republicans fight amongst each other which inevitably it will? >> it does. it's hard when you are one of 16 candidates it's hard to get your message out. it's hard to scoop up the best talent. >> money. >> and it's hard to scoop up

money. exactly, that's right. we saw something similar in 2008. when i was press secretary for chris dodd. it was such a crowded field that the only people who really got their message out were people with extremely high name recognition already or somebody who catches fire like a barack obama. >> well barack obama caught fire but nobody knew who barack was. they always thought it was going to be hillary that would have been the presidential nominee. but david gaston in l.a. raised his first $1 million. that's when he got access to money. so this is not just a simple equation. i think during the debates, candidates will get their message out. >> talk about the debates, though. >> right. >> you think about the first three primaries. iowa new hampshire, and then south. and at least in two of those, the republicans voting bloc there is pretty socially conservative much more socially conservative than, say, the national spectrum. you have all those candidates who have to fight for that one

bloc. all of a sudden it pushes them much farther to the right. hillary clinton doesn't have that force on her. >> she doesn't have that force -- go ahead. >> you see something really interesting right now. for example, when hillary clinton announced her position on immigration earlier this week, you saw the republican field do something really interesting which is that those who are conservative on immigration felt free to knock her for her position -- >> oh, christie! >> -- but those who have a more nuanced opinion, jeb bush and marco rubio, they actually remained quiet and that's because they were pandering to those who are the most conservative in their party. i think ultimately that's a big problem. >> i can assure you that the republican party is not watching hillary to see what type of policies they need to espouse. she's not that powerful. we don't have the contributions coming from the enemy. we don't have the albatrosses around our neck that's why we have a leg up with 16 people or 20 people it's their god given right to run for office. >> of course it is. yeah. >> as you look at this, though

you can cut this both ways in terms of whether you have to go through benghazi and all these other kinds of issues. clinton doesn't have to fight. now, that's good because she can kind of save her war chest and she's fresh and everything else. on the other hand she's not going to be that experienced at being in the trenches and fighting and having to go through all that. so is that in a way -- does this play to the republicans in the sense of whoever the nominee is going to come out ready for war? >> i agree, actually. i think that it does play to a candidate's favor to have to fight it out. >> to battle harder. >> to battle harder i do. but at this point i would so much rather be hillary clinton than to be one of these many many republican candidates marco rubio, ted cruz any one of them. >> diversity. we have more diversity on the democratic side. we have an african-american and an hispanic and we also have a woman. when you talk about diversity, i think we might get those votes. >> christie? >> um look i think, again choice is a good thing but in this case i would certainly rather be hillary clinton. it will be interesting.

>> sometimes you have too much of a good thing. ladies angela christie thanks so much. molly? >> coming up deflate-gate fallout continues will the nfl suspend tom brady for a few games? at least one newspaper says yes. plus what does the league's report really mean? and this is not something you see every day. where is the running to? and is hans solo far behind? we've got answers next. unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. look at the footwork! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness, itching, swelling burning or stinging, blisters, and pain.

film series seventh movie later this year. there they go running. many runners and spectators as you can tell dressed up as some of the "star wars" characters. they also got to view the recently released trailer for "the force awakens." the question is will they all run that quickly to the movie theater? >> i might be willing to run if i got a sneak peek. i'm not a big runner but if i got the sneak peek i might just do it. >> that would motivate molly. >> exactly. more movie companies are setting up shop in south africa. paul tillsly is in johannesburg with more on that. paul? >> reporter: welcome to jollywood that's what hollywood producers are calling johannesburg south africa because it is the hot spot to shoot movies. the entire city center was shut down for two weeks for the 600 extras taken on along with over 300 local crew some of whom

impressed the u.s. directors so much he took them with when the shoot went to other countries. one of these was helicopter pilot bill olmstead who has been based here for over 40 years. >> there isn't anything in hollywood that isn't available here. the authorities are extremely helpful in assisting with permissions for low-level flying. everything is here. >> reporter: in fact hollywood's movie makers say you can do things here you couldn't possibly do in a u.s. city shut the entire downtown down and close the city hall for two weeks, you're welcome, said the mayor, "iron man" and "the incredible hulk" come on down. as the welcoming invitation comes has hollywood coming back for more. other blockbusters shot here include "district nine" and more to come. >> it's very important to disney whether it be on the movie products but also in retail and television and all the other businesses we're involved in. and, in fact "the avengers" is

only one example of projects going on here. we're starting filming on a feature film in the next month in johannesburg and we're on production in a tv series in cape town. >> reporter: the u.s. ambassador patrick gasper. >> i was on the set and it was one of the most exciting moments of my tenure. i saw six blocks getting blown up during a fight. phenomenal. >> reporter: they confirmed to fox news there are many more movies like this one coming to shoot where they can smash up the city soon. in johannesburg fox news. >> coming to a screen near you. in the wake of the deflate-gate report a new report this one from the new york "daily news" said new england patriots quarterback tom brady could actually now be facing suspension. according to columnist gary myers who cites anonymous sources nfl commissioner roger goodell could announce the suspension as early as next week. earlier this week an nfl investigation said brady likely knew the patriots' employees

were cheating by deflating footballs in the afc championship game against the colts which obviously the patriots went on to win. molly line has been covering this for the past couple weeks. how is this report going down in patriots nation? >> the patriot fans have tom brady's back. for the most part everybody is looking at what happened here and they're looking at this report and the language and the less-than-definitive language more likely than probable all these sort of -- >> if there is a suspension that goes down does the patriots have a second option or not? is there a plan "b"? >> do you know what i don't think patriots even want to think about the plan "b" yet and who knows if this will actually come to pass. we'll find out next week pats fans don't want any suspension. >> there will be riots in the streets of boston. >> i don't know about riots. but new england fans are true true fans. >> lining up behind tom brady. >> absolutely. of course. is that a big surprise?

>> no. no. >> the victory parade rolled through boston less than a few months ago. >> in the tundra. >> yes, absolutely and everybody cheered on tom brady and for the pats. >> there you go. let's see what happens. i like that look. >> i know. i know. coming up a routine vaccine could be protecting you from more than what you thought. what is it? that is next. and we're closely watching tropical storm ana as it bears down on the east coast making landfall tomorrow. we'll give you the latest details on its predicted landfall.

in other words, the death rate or the complication rate of other diseases pulmonary diseases gastrointestinal diseases associated with childhood, the people that got the vaccine, there was also a reduction in those kinds of infections. >> you know this is so interesting because you don't want to have a weakened immune system so if this actually protects you in the years to come could it prevent other sorts of infectious diseases from coming out on the rise in the future? >> well i think what this shows is the following. when you have a major natural disease like the measles, people think the measles is a couple of rashes and low grade fever but in reality, when you get the full-fledged measles disease, your immune system your body is very weakened. not only weakened for days or weeks, weakened perhaps for months perhaps years depending on other factors of your life your size your nutrition.

but it does a number in your body so what happens is now after you have this natural measles disease, you don't have the ability, the effective ability to fight other infections and that's the whole key of the immune system. it's our natural police our natural fbi. so if we beat it up we don't take care of it then you have the potential of getting the secondary problems. that's why vaccinations given at proper times, given in the right, you know the right time frame, you get this natural immunity but also it beefs up in other words, you are giving your fbi, your police department the tools that it needs to fight crime. >> the united states experienced a record number of measles cases in 2014. there were over 600 cases in the midst of this anti-vaccine movement. is this something those folks that aren't vaccinating their children should look at and take another consideration, this is

yet another reason that perhaps they should be vaccinated? >> i think we're turning the corner when it comes to this whole national movement parents saying we don't want any vaccines vaccines are bad. i think we're turning the corner. i hope we do. i think we peaked in 2013 with all the cases and 2014 cases of measles we had in different communities in california and here in the new york area whatsoever also the myth about autism. as of late i think in the last three or four months there was again another definitive study brought forth by the cdc that said look there is no link to autism and vaccination, pay attention, there's no link. so now i think that with the doctors being aware, there's more information being given out to families. i think we are going to turn the corner because indeed vaccines for children are safe and not only are they protective against the disease that you are giving the vaccine for but now it seems that it also boosts your natural

immune system so you might be able to fight other infections. >> dr. manny alvarez, thank you for joining us. so interesting we are still learning about these diseases we have been familiar with like the measles and that there are new things to learn. >> yeah. that's the good news. i hope it continues. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. on the eve of the day we all celebrate the lady who brought us into the world, a special white house proclamation is on its way for mom.

earlier we asked you for your thoughts on this question. what is the right balance between tracking potential domestic terrorism and protecting every american's privacy? we have gotten a lot of responses. we appreciate all of them. one from jeff profile those most likely to be radicalized and follow them not the old grandma boarding a plane. philip suspected terrorists should not enjoy the same right to privacy. this is a war, not a debate. and quote, i would much rather sacrifice some privacy if it helps track crazies out there. the conversation continues on
