was struck yesterday as i was thinking about this. a number of people on overpasses throwing octobers at cars on route 280 in new jersey which ended up killing a woman. it doesn't take much especially when the car or train was moving so quickly another object to strike it. >> who knows what it could be. they are reporting that they felt like they were possibly shot at oring thrown at them. is this some punk kids throwing rocks. >> more nefarious. >> it actually helps explain what we know already which is that this train was going fast but within the limits. >> right. >> and then within a period before 30 seconds it accelerated wildly and that suggests that maybe the engineer was incapacitated by this attack. >> we know he has a concussion. >> the throttle is not the way it is in your car where you can just ease up on it. there are set notches. so that could explain why it went from just over 70 miles per hour to over 100 miles per hour.
3:06 am

defendant claims to be acting on behalf of all muslims this was not religious crime and certainly does not reflect true muslim beliefs it was political crime designed to coerce the united states. although the defense claimed that the defendant was himself intimidated and coerced by an older brother the evidence did not bear that out o. the defendant was an adult who came to believe an ideology of hate. >> so that's carmen or dches tiz. theology just on muslim. >> how much denial do we have to have and it's sad that the u.s. attorney has to be this theologian as we see this verdict. the jury was much smarter.
3:18 am
the note he wrote when one muslim suffers we all suffer and thus he wrote this note that ultimately this is why yes, terrorism is killing innocence forbidden but this acted will not be forbidden. that showed he had intent and he deserved the death penalty because he wrote that that is clearly an islamist radical part of a global movement and we f. we want to see moderate muslims against islam and movements step up and act we have to recognize that there are various versions of islam. and if we are going to take the mantel of islam away from them. we have to recognize that this guy is part of an islamo global movement. >> dr. jasser, thank you. for our viewers interested in learning more his book is an excellent one. i recommend it. >> thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you tucker i aappreciate it. >> president obama offering this message to our women and women -- men and women in blue. >> we can work harder to

3:24 am
it's not going to hurt him or do you think it will. >> this is honest and candid answer.. he didn't vote on this but yet he gave an account for why he thought it was right decision at the time. contrast to hillary clinton who is forced to account for her vote it looks very authentic on his part to make this claim and to stand by his claim. >> yeah, rather than what we are seeing from hillary clinton ducking and dodging and not answering any questions from the media. >> precisely. jesse, what do you think? this is a staff error criticized forever not coming out quick enough to make that clarification saying look, i just misinterpreted the question? >> i don't think so. i think the real problem here is jeb bush should have known from the get-go that this is going to be the number one issue for him in his campaign. most obvious thing still talked about what's going on with isis in iraq and afghanistan comes up constantly. he should have been better prepared. we also think about the fact he is talking about his own brother and that's not easy. during the clarification he made a really interesting point which was how he felt torn about disavowing
3:25 am
essentially a war that took american lives and what that sounds like to the families of these veterans and those who lost their lives by saying he wouldn't have authorize dollars it. i think that shows a loft sensitivity and emocialt and things that we loved in george bush, actually. i think there might even be some upswing from this and people will get to see what kind of man he is he seems very connected to the issue. >> when you contrast to to hillary clinton and look back at the thing she said to account for her vote she says she regrets her book and proceeds to go at bush i regret the way bush used the authorization of force. she uses him as a scapegoat whereas bush honestly accounts this is what i think, this is what i feel. not blaming anyone. >> we're also talking about people on other sides of the aisle. it's very different for a brother to talk about a brother versus someone running against the brother's brother. >> jesse mentioned this is issue number one and a lot of respects and he should
3:26 am
have had those talking points ready some have said maybe is he a little rusty maybe jeb bush isn't as good as a candidate as some thought. no he just misinterpreted the question. >> he might be slower out of the gate. he also isn't making as large scale fumbles as others who might come out rationally. marco rubio gave a big foreign policy speech. i think jeb bush should do something like that. he should stand up and say clearly and unequivocally how his policy stands and how it is similar. >> thank you very much. that's all the time we have. 26 minutes after the hour. coming up. living on the edge, literally. check out this video. a home about to fall into the river. then one of the president's personal pilots has been keeping a secret for years. that's next. he is here to talk about the strangest thing he has ever seen in the sky and trust us it's out of this world.

one of the family roomer chief aides george stephanopoulos went subsequently into journalism. he now hosts the weekend show on abc news and the morning show on abc news. and he is the chief political correspondent on abc news. now we know he remains close to the clintons. he gave $75,000 of his personal fortune to the clinton foundation. this is a conflict. he did not disclose it in his interviews on the subject of the clintons and even in an interview with peter sweitzer author of the thousand famous book clinton cash. >> this back and forth throughout this entire year, was slamming sweitzer for questionable sources and material. listen to this. >> do you have any evidence that a crime may have been committed? we have done investigative work here at abc news and found no proof of any kind of direct action. there is no evidence at all that hillary clinton got directly involved in this

3:34 am
much about aids in africa that i gave 75 grand to the clinton foundation. if you really cared about aids in africa is that the most effective way to fight it giving to their foundation which spends massive amounts. it's ludicrous. >> that's what karl rove said yesterday on our show if you want to get right directly to the source you would funnel money directly to the source. >> there are a lot of people fighting aids in africa and clinton foundation probably the least effective way to address that problem. no, you are sucking up by giving money to the clinton foundation. >> and possibly gaining even more access. >> exactly. >> here is the other piece of this. let's look at it through a different lens. what if our brett baieror chris wallace donated to jeb bush or scott walker or mike huckabee donated to one of their foundations education whatever it may be. imagine the outcry from democrats on the other side. >> imagine, there is no corollary though because again, stephanopoulos hosts the morning show and the weekend show and he is the face of their political

coverage. i mean, he just basically runs abc news. he is the very top. there has never been anyone in network news as powerful and george stephanopoulos is right now. >> how can he be fair not even just the other g.o.p. contenders but to other potential contenders vying for the spot for the democratic nod against hillary. >> great question. >> we'll talk to peter sweitzer. >> the lecturing. >> he will be on 8:15 this morning the author of "clinton cash." he will be here to respond. don't miss it. >> other stories making headlines. developments in the fatal shooting of two mississippi police officers. the missing gun used to kill benjamin dean and tate found by workers cutting the grass yesterday. seven suspects are facing charges,including two arrested yesterday for obstruction. accused shooter marvin banks faces capital murder charges. this morning the funeral for

knocked holyfield down or was he playing there. >> i think he was probably playing. never looked that good except for anna obviously that's a whole other story. a lot of places are going to get quite a bit of rain including here this morning across the mississippi river valley and into the ohio valley. parts of the northeast where some of those stormed could be severe later on. the bigger story is another big disturbance out across parts of the rockies. cold air. snow across every western state across the last few days. as that energy pulls into the plains we will see destructive tornadoes. all the way down toward the red river valley. places have seen so much rain the last few weeks. more rain and severe weather threat today. tomorrow moves a little bit farther off toward the north and east across the upper great lakes. severe weather could see a tornado or two across that area as well. temperaturewise, all the cold air is across parts of the west and it is warming

4:06 am
watch this. >> do you have any evidence that a crime may have been committed? we have done investigative work here at abc news, found no proof of any kind of direct action. there is no evidence at all that hillary clinton got directly involved in this decision. do you have any evidence that she actually intervened in this issue? >> the democrats have said this is indication of your partisan interest. they say you used to work for president bush as a speech writer. you were funded by the koch brothers. >> as evidence of your par sanship. you used to work for a former president? how does that even come out of his mouth? >> he worked for president bush for a few months. george stephanopoulos worked for the clintons for many beings many years and part of the election process. >> i have been on george stephanopoulos shows many times. i was on good morning america the day after my announcement running for president. i go to bill maher, stephen colbert and jon stewart i go into a lot of arenas i know that the host has a point of view. i don't pretend they are
4:07 am
being a journalist. i think the problem is if george stephanopoulos pretends that he is a journalist. look, one of the things that people say about fox news and they try to make it well fox news is all opinion. i always am very defensive because one thing roger ailes has done at this network is that he always is very careful to separate the thick wall the news division versus the programming division the six and a half years that i did a show on fox, i never pretended to be a journalist. i never pretended to be one on tv. i i was a commentator and strict view. i was required if i had a gust on and it was a politician that i had endorsed i had to always say and in the interest of full disclosure, i have endorsed this candidate in a campaign for him. i never was age to pretend i was doing that objectively. i just think that there has got to be a little bit of integrity in journalism here. >> great point on that, governor. that's what a lot of people
4:08 am
are saying. abc executives are they drawing that thick line like you mentioned? they aren't firing him. it doesn't appear to be repercussions except for this half apology. take a listen. >> i now believe directed personal donations to that foundation was a mistake. even though i knew the work done to help stop the spread of aids and work in poor countries, i have should have gone the extra mile of tieing to avoid a conflict. >> i was just trying to do good. aren't their -- there more effective ways. >> absolutely. i'm glad this happened. the next time some journalist is just hammering me and hitting me about something that i did, you know, whether it was a year ago or 20 years ago i will say let me take the george on that. that's going to be my new answer. why not?
4:09 am
i mean, if we always can say oh yeah, what i should have done. but the point is, if you are going to be a journalist, then you really need to be one. that means objectivity. and we have seen so much a blur between the editorial page and the news page that in so many television entities there is no longer a distinction. i believe that the network every network has a really an obligation to the viewer to say what we're doing here is news. what we are doing over here is editorial. and we separate the two. and, again i want to be very defensive. roger ailes understands that that's how he ran and runs the fox network. so, you know, i'm no longer getting paid by them but six and a half years gave me extraordinary respect and that's why i resent it when people say things about fox that it's not really a news organization. my experience is, yes it is and they would have never allowed what we saw with george stephanopoulos. never would have been allowed. >> this is practical implications for you are
4:10 am
running for president. george stephanopoulos hosted debates at the past. would you appear at a debate he was hosting. >> fortunately to me i don't have to make the decision. ryan priebus they are going to have veto power over the host. not have a host who is actually just in it for the entertainment value. i'm grateful and i spoke to the rnc yesterday in phoenix. one of the things they have done they have recognized that the purpose of republican debattle is not to provide entertainment ventricle europe for the masses. help republicans to pick a candidate to cover their banner. gear the debates in every way towards helping had the republicans of america come to a decision about who they would like to be president. and, frankly i think when they do that, they are going to pick me. that's just the way i kind of see it. i'm looking that way anyhow. >> let's move to hillary clinton now because have there been some reports this week about how much the clintons have earned in speaking fees. of course, a lot of this
4:11 am
coming to light and the clinton foundation donations and suddenly bill clinton getting huge speaking fees right after certain people donate to the clinton foundation. it breaks another $25 million in speaking fees. since january 2014. 5 million. this all comes a year after she said how difficult it is and how hard it was for her when they left the white house. she also slams ceo pay back in april. she said there is something wrong when ceos make 300 times more than the typical worker. there is something wrong when american workers keep getting more productive as they have. and i just saw a few minutes ago, very possible because of education and skills training. but that productivity is not matched in their paychecks. what do you make of that? is that okay? she made that money? good for her. >> good for her that she made money. that's what america is about. i resent it if they make millions and millions. some have estimated
4:12 am
$130 million people have made since leaving office. dead broke. gee, i have got to pay the bills. i'm pretty sure they can pay their bills now. i don't think there is an issue of hey, could you spot me a 20? i got electric bill coming up. i'm not sure i can handle it just be honest and say we have done great. america has been good to us. we want it to be good to everybody else, too. i think it's the pretense of saying we are really really struggling out here. we are only getting half a million per speech and gee it's hard to make it on that. >> governor, i mean, you give speeches. you know what it's about. you give interesting speeches. they give benal speeches. getting 500 grand for saying children are our future. non-notable. they aren't producing anything. they are yapping to other powerful people and getting overpaid no? >> let me be fair. i have been paid for speeches and loved every minute of it. nowhere in that range. i have told a lot of people
4:13 am
hey, i will come and speak for half that any day and expenses if you are going to pay me half a million. again, i don't resent the fact that they commanded. i do think there is a question if the fees are disproportionate and the fees are being paid by people who are then getting favors from the u.s. government. that is an issue. and i think she is going to have to answer for that and a whole lot of other things in her campaign for president. i will tell you what, wherever weather it's george stephanopoulos, she cannot hide from questions. >> it becomes an ethical thing rather than just a monetary thing is you are positioning yourself as the champion for the working class. governor mike huckabee, thank you so much. >> you are not off the hook just yet you have to answer some other questions because we are going to ask you about this your competition this morning jeb bush who had a rough week he doubled down on iraq war comments before walking it back later in the week. will that answer haunt his campaign if he disguise to run? oh by the way is he not a
4:14 am
candidate yet. >> already have 47 million people on food stamps and now getting them is about to get even easier? hello! this little beauty here is top-of-the-line. see, you just pull like this to go left. and like so to go right. where are the brakes? uh, just grab ahold of both and pull straight back. and the "whoa!" is optional. you wouldn't buy a motorcycle without handlebars. no thanks. and you shouldn't ride a motorcycle without geico insurance. roadside assistance, 24 hour service, great rates. geico motorcycle. see how much you could save.

4:17 am
knowing what we know now, what would you have done? i would not have engaged. i would not have gone into iraq. that's not the to say that the world is safer because saddam hussein is gone. it is significantly safer. >> he tried to walk it back this week. will it answer to the question haunt jeb bush's campaign if he decides to run? former arkansas governor mike huckabee joins us to react. do you think the world is quote significantly safer since saddam hussein is gone? do you think that's true? >> i think a lot of people in iraq are safer and probably a lot of the people in the world are safer.
4:18 am
i don't know that the world is safer and not so much because of specifically saddam hussein bugger question is we are not as safe because we didn't understand the role radical islam not just in iraq but around the world. a lot of people have jumped diswreb bush this week. i'm going to cut him some slack. it's a fair question. every question when you are running for president is fair. >> you have to be fair coming up side your head. let's be clear. leadership is not the luxury of making decisions with information that you are going to have 12 years from now. leadership is making decisions with the information that you have. and unless you are marty mcfly and can take a ride in the delorean and go ahead 12 years and come back or unless clarence the angel can take you george bailey into the future and let you see how it's all going to turn out none of us have the luxury of making decisions based on information that everyone is going to be looking at several years later.
4:19 am
>> answer the question what megyn megyn kelly asked and what it boils down to. governor huckabee you are signing your own pledge to the people defending the constitution and pursuing an economic agenda that will benefit all americans. what does this mean and how does it work? >> one of the things that i learned running in 2008. you get about a dozen pledges a day from organizations that say pledge this pledge, this pledge to us. i said, look, i'm going to make a pledge. my pledge is is to the american people in pledge for tax reform i took their language verbatim yeah i'm for that i won't raise taxes. won't support raising taxes. i put that language in and satisfies them. this is my pledge to the american people because i didn't want to get lost in this dozens and dozens of pledges every day. people want to go to it. see on my web site mike

4:47 am
that we had this united states district judge named andrew who had enjoined it. stopped if from happening. that was a temporary injunction tucker. and this language that was slipped into the bill in the wee hours of the morning indicated that this deferred amnesty was a vital program. that was a slap at the one judge who was standing up for the constitution. it could have been judicial notice before the fifth circuit of appeals or the supreme court temporary injunction. i have heard from some so many people in my district and the country they want a career. they fought hard for us. they are getting a pink slip can't stay in and finish

5:02 am
seeing its smashed windshield there on the left. on the right is the photograph of the amtrak train both have windshields smashed by some unknown object. speculation at this point includes a bullet, a rock, or some unknown heavy projectile. >> that's why the fbi has now been called in to examine what caused this crash. >> yeah, and if you take a look at your screen, you see that round circular crack in the windshield. and, you know, it could just be some punk kids throwing rocks that never intended to do something like this. it could be something a whole lot more nefarious. the unfortunate thing is the main conductor the main engineer he is being very cooperative on all accounts from investigators. but he doesn't remember anything after ringing the bell several miles away at a previous station. now hopefully he is just in shock and those memories will come back to him and that could certainly lead to more answers. >> that's consistent with
5:03 am
post traumatic stress disorder having amnesia. we take you through the time line. gets really fascinating. dive into specifics here. 9:05 p.m. a different amtrak train reports, now remember, this is all happening over the radio. the conductors are hearing this information near philadelphia that at 9:05. a separate amtrak train that had nothing to do with this crash was struck by some object. and then 10 after 9:00 the septa train local regional rail was also reportedly hit. you heard the conductor say look we were hit by a rock or something shot at us. >> 20 minutes later the training question the one that derailed outside of philadelphia went off the tracks. shortly before it did one of the amtrak employees on that train a woman says now that she believes she heard the engineer say we have been hit by something if true this would completely change the nature
5:04 am
of this tragedy. first speculation was this was negligence on the part of the engineer. if true this would change this from an accident to the crime. >> one of the reason the fbi has been called in for technical expertise on this. walter from the ntsb had this to say. he is talking about the female co-conductor who may have heard this while in the cafe train. listen. >> the septa engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at. the septa engineer said he had a broken windshield and placed his train into emergency stop. she also believed she heard her engineer say something about his train being struck by something right after she recalled hearing this conversation between her engineer and septa engineer.
5:05 am
she felt rumbling and her train leaned over and her car went over on its side. >> unbelievable. she is back in the cafe car. hears this talk over the radio. the car derails and falls over and crashes. >> initially the train speeds up from 70 miles per hour to over 100 miles per hour. that's still another question left unanswered if it was hit by a rock or some other projectile why did the train speed up? >> i do feel sorry for the engineer who many people blamed ordered to death. that's the news out of boston. a jury there deciding that the marathon bomber, dzhokhar tsarnaev should pay for his crimes with his life. the verdict comes in the third day of deliberations. molly line has reaction for us from boston. molly? >> seven women five men deliberated for more than 14 hours ultimately determining that death appropriate punishment. dzhokhar tsarnaev demeanor

abc news anchor and former clinton campaign operative george stephanopoulos said he had only the best intentions when he donated 75 grand to the clinton foundation. but he didn't bother to disclose that before this interview with our next guest. the author of "clinton cash" the book outlining the ties between the government and foreign governments. >> do you have any evidence that a crime may have been committed? we have done investigative work here at abc news. found no proof of any kind of direct action. there is no evidence at all that hillary clinton got directly involved in this decision. do you have any evidence that she actually intervened in this issue? the democrats have said this is indication of your partisan interest. they say you used to work
5:18 am
for president bush as a speech writer. have you funded by the koch brothers. >> we have done investigative work here at abc news. joining me now the author of "clinton cash." when george stephanopoulos who was, of course, clinton operative in the 1989 2 campaign accused you of being. did the alarms go off. >> yes, it did. the issue for me is not tough questioning. i went on with chris wallace and chris wallace asked tough questions too. the differences in this interview i didn't really have much of a chance to respond. and, of course, he didn't disclose the glaring conflict of interest. not just with these donations, tucker, by the way but we also now know that the campaign manager for the clinton campaign. participating in clinton foundation and clinton global initiative events including as a speaker and
5:19 am
moderator. some of those by the way sponsored by people that i expose in the book. so this goes beyond just the contribution. i mean it's a web of tangling relationships. >> it is. and here is what i found so striking. his apology in which he basically says i'm such a good person. such a compassionate person and got in trouble because of my own virtue. if you really cared about eliminating aids in africa, would you give money to the clinton foundation to do that? >> no. because as i point out in the book, and as the clinton foundation admits, they don't actually do hands on work with people dealing with aids. they will partner with other organizations that are doing on the groundwork, but the clinton foundation itself does not do any of that. and that sort of part of the problem. i talk about in the book the clinton blur where they blur governments and private interest. here you have in a sense the stephanopoulos blur which is he is a journalist who had a pass -- past as operative
5:20 am
for bill clinton. look that's a previous chapter in his life he has gone into journalism. now you have all these intangling relationships occurring right now as he was covering the clinton campaign in 2008. as he has continued to cover the clintons up until now none of it ever disclosed goes beyond donation did. abc news knows about any of this. did they not care? >> bottom line it seems unfair to you. you are on the guy's show. lots of people watch it if you had known he had given 75 grand to the clinton foundation. wouldn't that have been helpful for you? >> it would have been very helpful. tucker i have got to tell you. i was astonished when the washington free beacon broke this story. if a researcher of mine had had come to me three months ago and said we want to research and see whether george stephanopoulos gave to the clinton foundation, i would have said no way. he would never be that reckless to do that i was shocked. >> peter sweitzer.

5:26 am
okay. it's not just about cheating. he concealed information he wouldn't give emails and texts. he said his testimony was not truthful. it's cheating, lighting an concealing. three things that any employee. >> proven yard. >> they are not -- they are not she sure that he was cheating. i think there is a great chance that he knew something was going on. the report said it's more probable than not. which means that even in the criminal defense world, is he not guilty. and the nfl, they are making these rules as they go. and that's the problem that they have are. they don't have a standard. they don't have a precedent for something like this. and now the commissioner wants to hear the case himself. >> okay let's bring up roger goodell is going to preside over this hearing. >> yes. >> would that ever happen in like a philadelphia circuit if a judge has that kind of level of involvement? >> it actually, you know, it actually does. go to the securities industry. the security regulators, preside other proceedings. no different than the nba the major league baseball. they actually take affairs
5:27 am
in own hand. eric is right. there is no standard. who would have thunk deflate-gate. so it's a very funny and unusual circumstance. >> is this penalty does this penalty fit the alleged crime? we hear of other players you know, we saw the video right, in the elevator of ray rice. two game suspension. >> and that's the best thing for tom brady. he has kessler defended peterson ray rice. he has gotten them reinstated. he has the dream team on his side. i think he is going to be, that penalty is going to be wiped away. >> do you think it will be wiped away? >> it won't be wiped away. it will be reduced by one or two games. >> it's like a negotiation you start high. was that the thinking all along. 10 game suspension down to two. >> yeah, because it's all about perception. there is nothing he did. eric is right. he didn't do anything wrong. he didn't pawnch woman. >> in the nfl they have this perception problem and it's bad. they have people knocking women out on the elevators. whipping children. they have to do something to core themselves.

some would call this question degrading to women. others would say it's fair. where do you stand? >> i certainly think that the question was very patronizing and condescending. i wonder when hillary clinton is going to ask hillary clinton if she is really serious about running for president instead of just running for that vice presidential spot. look, carly fiorina is new to the national scene in terms it of politics. she is increasing her poll numbers. she is acting more presidential than hillary clinton by going out and actually answering hundreds of questions in a week while hillary clinton has only answered 8 in a matter of over the course of a month. and so for her to ask this question really is a way for her to try and damage carly fiorina's credibility which she tried to do, of course, with sarah palin during the 2008 campaign. but with carly fiorina it's not going to work because she had a great response by saying would you ask a man that question? and although katie couric said yes i doubt the answer is actually yes. we haven't seen her ask that question to any of the

lawmakers to make it easy for them to be reunited with the dogs they served with overseas. the american humane association has teamed up with the handlers to push an amendment to the national defense authorization act to include language saying military working dogs shall be returned to the u.s. after their tours end, not simply that they may be returned as the law currently states. joining me now is the president and ceo of the american humane association. also joining me is army specialist brent grommet and his dog maddie. it's great to see you. thank you so much for joining us this morning. so tell us the current state of the law and what you would like to see change. >> well the national defense authorization act allows these dogs to be retired overseas. we believe that any veteran, four legged and two legged should be returned to u.s. soil for their retirement. we're asking for changes in the ndaa that says the word may shall be changed to "shall." these dogs shall be returned. >> who would be against that

6:04 am
ntsb since tuesday night. er in thousand investigating the lower left windshield a circular pattern consistent with some sort of flying object that may, may have flown into that windshield minutes before the crash. now this is -- this new revelation is coming on news that on that same night on tuesday, two other trains were also potentially reportedly hit by flying projectiles, including an amtrak southbound train, amtrak 2173, as well as a septa regional train which was forced to pull over and unload 80 of its peengs when it was hit by something, the same night minutes before the crash. the ntsb revealing an assistant conductor in the cafe car of the amtrak 188 train, overheard, she thinks a radio conversation between the engineer and the engineer of that septa train, in which they both acknowledged being hit by some sort of flying projectile. >> she said she heard the
6:05 am
engineer talking to a septa engineer. she recalled that the septa engineer reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at. >> now the ntsb has interviewed brandon bostian, who is the engineer of the amtrak 188 train. he says he cannot recall anything after seeing the curve. he has no recollection of the actual derailment. remember he was con cussed and had a facial slash on his face. his lawyer says he was not on drugs. he was not on alcohol. he was not on his cell phone. again, brandon bostian says he has no recollection of that. the authorities are trying to figure out why the train in the minute before it crashed on the curve, why it accelerated. they don't know if brandon bostian manually did it.
6:06 am
they're trying to figure out why it happened. these are the questions we're looking into. why did the train accelerate and now a new twist. did a flying projectile thrown or shot cause the engineer to be dis distracted and perhaps cause this derailment? we don't know. the fbi has not launcheded a criminal investigation yet. clay, anna tucker? >> thanks, bryan. so many people have pushed blame on the conductor. now it's looking like a crime. >> more interesting is the idea that it could happen to three separate trains all within the same corridor outside of philadelphia. we don't know where on the map all the incidents occurred. but we just got into fox news a photo of the first train at 9:05 p.m. now this is the first of three trains that apparently were hit by something. this is the first amtrak train at 9:05 p.m. that was hit now.
6:07 am
on the second part of your screen, on the left side is the zep septa train hit 15 minutes later. and on the right side is the third amtrak train that was hit by something right on its windshield and as bryan talked about, the engineer has no recollection of it, which is consistent with post-traumatic stress. but earlier you pointed out they confirmed the cell phone was in his bag. he wasn't sufferg from any ill ens. had no drugs or alcohol in his system. >> and he's being very cooperative, too. and hopefully his memory will come back. that's something that often happens, too. when somebody goes through a tragic situation. the way our bodies cope with it is we go through amnesia and sometimes the memories come back. speaking of amnesia, george stephanopoulos forgot he personally donated thousands of dollars to the clinton foundation. why is this significant? well because after he made that
6:08 am
donation the clinton foundation found itself in the news thanks to a book called "clinton cash." and stephanopoulos had the task of interviewing the author of that book on his show, this week a few weeks ago. watch the exchange that took place between the two of them. >> do you have any evidence that a crime may have been committed. >> we've done investigative work here. no proof of any kind of direct action. there's no evidence at all that hillary clinton got directly involved in this decision. no evidence she intervened in this issue. >> the democrats have said this is an indication of your partisan interest. they said you need to work for president bush as a speech writer. >> well, notice peter didn't get much of a chance to answer. >> didn't get a word in. >> it was more a lecture than an interview. >> well he was on our show earlier. tucker did the interview and decided he would step back and allowed him to respond to a few questions. here is peter on that very exchange earlier.
6:09 am
take a listen. >> in this interview i didn't have much of a chance to respond, and of course he didn't disclose the glaring conflict of interest, not with these donations, tucker by the way. but we now know the campaign manager for the clinton campaign was an intern for george stephanopoulos. and he was participating in clinton foundation and clinton global initiative events. some of this sponsored by people i expose in the book. >> i was going to lecture him for daring to question the integrity of the rightful next president of the united states. i lost the talking point hillary sent me. so i had to sit there in silence. >> you asked about the idea that george's apology addressed. he came out on friday. >> it was ludicrous. >> and said he donated money because he wanted to help deforestization and aids in
6:10 am
africa. >> which makes sense. but there are plenty of other ways to give. the bottom line is george stephanopoulos is feeling too conflicted about doing the debate. is he too conflicted to be handling election coverage for abc and leading the way on that, and are abc executives letting him off the hook too easy? geraldo rivera said he was fired for abc for something very similar, only a much smaller amount. a couple hundred bucks he gave to a family friend running for a small mayor race. >> but as george explains his real crime was virtue. when you care that deeply stichls you get kritsometimes you get criticized for it. the same reason you they 300 grand for speeches. you're trying to buy influence and access. >> and just imagine if chris
6:11 am
wallace or brett did something like this and gave a half apology. can you imagine what the left would be doing? would be getting raked over the coals at fox news. >> chris wallace gave a tip at the tip jar at starbucks. which is very courageous of him. >> we told you moments ago about this. the boston bomber sentenced to death. >> ultimately justice has prevailed today. he wanted to go to hell and he's going to get there early. >> but will he actually die or end up living on death row for years? peter johnson jr. next. remember when you were in school and got rewarded with a pizza party? those days are over. instead you can watch "fifty shades of grey." the latest trend in education. we'll tell you where it happened.

ultimately justice has prevailed today. he wanted to go to hell and he's going to get there early. >> going to get there early. wow. victims speaking out after the boston bomber responsible for the death of four people and the injuries of 264 others. 21-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev sentenced to death by lethal injection. >> but could he actually end up living on death row for many many years and is the government embarrassed by this jury's decision? here to explain is the great peter jackson jr. >> good morning, you know, fortunately or unfortunately i predicted in the beginning that he would be executed. i believe he will be executed after several years. there will be an appeal and probably to the u.s. supreme court. but in the end, he will be executed. >> why unfortunately? >> because i don't like to see
6:16 am
anyone die. i think he deserves to die. i think it's a just fair decision the jury has reached. they weighed the aggravating versus the mitigating circumstances. what he did right in his life versus what he did wrong. did he express remorse? well here's a guy who had an opportunity to get up and swear to tell the truth and say, i was wrong. i express remorse. i'm saddened by what i did. i was wrong. he didn't. instead, he gave the finger. and after the verdict, according on the new york post he was pointing as if he was shooting at marshalls in the courtroom. so he's a low life. he's a bad guy. and unfortunately he deserves to die. i hate to say that as a catholic about anyone. but this is the right punishment. >> well people who believe in the death penalty, they say if anybody deserves to die, this is the case for it. but, you know i want to know what the appeals process is going to be looking like. a lot of these family members, they were hoping not to have
6:17 am
lethal injection because -- >> it's extremely painful. but it's not their determination, with all due respect. nor is it the determination of the people who say, oh we're giving him what he wants. we're giving isis what they want. they have a martyr. that's not the task in this this country. the test is what the law is what the congress passed what the president signed. we have a death penalty for terrorism. the issue becomes what is it. >> right. i want to play this sound bite. this is causing a bit of controversy for u.s. attorney karr carmen ortiz who said this. >> it was not a religious crime and it certainly does not reflect true muslim belief. it was a political crime designed to intimidate and to coerce the united states. >> not a religious crime. >> did she read the bloody note in the boat? >> unfortunately we shouldn't mix politics and law. the u.s. code talks about domestic terrorism as a coercive
6:18 am
crime. intended to intimidate to coerce but obviously this is a political and a religious act. jihad, the caliphate is based on bringing those notions together. a political act motivated by a skewed religious belief. everyone goes out of their way to say, well this doesn't reflect on the entire muslim population. and i agree that it doesn't. but that's not what we're talking about. and so to say, well let's be a little bit embarrassed by this. we don't want to offend anyone. we didn't mean to offend anyone. this man committed a despicable crime for which he will be executed. and that's based on american law, not on politics not on feeling, not on emotion, but on raw evidence that people courageously decided over 14 hours and 5 months of hearing evidence. they did the right thing in my judgment. >> peter johnson jr., very well
6:19 am
said. thank you. >> good to see you guys. be well. >> coming up here on the show, a starbucks manager, sick and tired of stuck up customers and their frappucinos finally loses her cool. >> bye, bye, bye. >> stick around. she goes out with a bang. >> and then he got bad grades, so his dad made him do this. >> i hate my life. oh yeah that's his x-box. >> smashed into pieces. >> so is that father a hero or a bad guy? a parenting panel here to weigh in. come on in, ladies.

23 minutes after the hour and a fox news alert. while you were sleeping an egyptian court sentencing president morsi to death over a 2011 mass prison break. he's already serving a 20-year sense for ordering the arrest of torturers during his time in office. and a lieutenant will send the rest of his life behind bars. he was convicted for the 1998 bombings of two u.s. embassies in africa that killed 244 people including a dozen americans. tucker over to you. >> thank you, anna. if you haven't seen this on the internet yet, stay tuned. after one father found out about his son's bad grades he gave him a sledge hammer and told him to start swinging at his xbox. >> i hate my life.
6:24 am
>> go. so what do you think of this punishment? is it useful or kind of deranged? join us now to debate it is our parenting panel. she's a retired teacher. she joins us with beatty cohan, a relationship therapist and susan patton the famed princeton mom. it's great to see all of you. ful. >> pleasure to be here. >> mary ann, first to you, you watch this. isn't this teaching the child a valuable lesson? when you get frustrated or do something bad, take a sledge hammer and destroy something? >> i think it's absolutely horrible. it teaches the child nothing. absolutely nothing. the father paid for it. and you're saying to be destructive. there are so many other
6:25 am
parenting skills to discipline the child. take something away. take a television program away. take the xbox away. but never to do that. because if you're going to do that to an object then the next step is you might do it to a person. >> do you incorporate a sledge hammer into your parenting advice? absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not. i totally agree with you. he could have taken away the xbox and said look honey, for next semester if you want your xbox back you have to really step it up in school and earn the privilege of having an xbox or a television or anything else. >> suzanne, not only did he do that but he filmed it and up loaded it onto the internet. >> he's a bully. terrible parenting. i totally understand that sometimes parenting requires the discipline of a warden but it never, ever requires a sledge hammer. and he could have as the ladies said and i agree, take the xbox away. give it to a charity for children. but destruction?
6:26 am
destruction? destruction and humiliation? shaming your son, bad father. >> all of you find this an appalling example of bad parenting. this this person lived next to you, would you be able to be friends with him? >> well i don't know if i would be friends with him, but i would try to direct his -- the way he handles the parenting situations. i would try to give him suggestions, and i would try to give him a little bit of advice. i don't want to stand up on a pedestal. but i would feel as a human being it would be imperative of me to do something. >> exactly. >> what i would want to do is say, you know what parenting, it is so challenging and it is so difficult, and i noticed this is what happened. have you thought that maybe there would have been some other ways and i would have been very clear that you could have handled this very disappointing situation that you just experienced with your son to try and give the person as you say,
6:27 am
some advice. some good advice. >> that's a nice twa to put it. can you, susan, been friends with people whose parenting styles you abhor? >> well there's little as of upsetting as watching children off the rails or children with no discipline or having to be around them? but wow, parenting is like religion or how you spend your money. it's such a personal choice that i don't think any of us we're all parents here you don't step over the line and tell somebody else how to poornt their child. it's very hard. and it's a recipe for a broken friendship. but it's a personal choice. even the crazy dad we just saw, i'm sure in his head he was thinking this is what my boy needs to really have this lesson driven home. think it's appalling. you don't tell another parent how to raise their child. you don't tell another parent. but maybe you can engage this
6:28 am
parent in a conversation and say in a situation like this i felt like doing exactly what you did. however, i did this and it had a bad consequence. >> what it was a gun instead of a sledge hammer. >> it's incumbent upon all of us to say something positive and help this person in a way, otherwise, this action will continue and continue and continue. >> you're all so nice. you can't cross that line. we're telling another parent how to parent. i'm saying you better not do that. if anybody told me or told you or told you, it wouldn't go over well. there's a lot of wisdom on this set. >> well our pleasure. have a good day. >> coming up living on the edge literally. a home about to fall right into the river. then have you ever been on a ride like this one?
6:29 am
>> thank god we're all right. >> bart we're stuck under a truck. >> how skillful is that? pretty impressive. drivers we love to hate. we'll tell you who you love to hate on the road. stick around. but first, we're going to check in with uma for what's next on america's new headquarters. >> thank you very much. and coming up on the show at 2:00 p.m. eastern, you're going to hear from the lieutenant colonel about the deteriorateing conditions and why he believes we're close to the point of no return in the fight against isis over there. and also the latest on twitter's most popular great white shark. we're talking about mary lee and why she's causing quite a stir in the waters off south jersey. we're going to talk about why she's creating such a stir and already has 50,000 twitter followers. why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom?

6:35 am
handed over to the iraqis. reporting that the wife was picked up andeneded to the iraqis for interrogation. that kind of human intelligence is the gold standard in these operations. you can take that information. you can match it up with intelligence from other sources and you begin to get a very clear picture. in this case as you rightly point out, how this group is funding the operation through the sale of oil and fuel. >> catherine herridge for us this morning. we thank you for filling us in. we should point out that no u.s. forces were killed or injured in this raid. so good news all around. >> details forthcoming as we get them. a woman in texas literally living on the edge. her home falling into the swollen river. >> my worry is that water is

6:46 am
somebody to keep time. i e-mailed you guys this morning. i was looking up his question about birth control that went on is for 15 minutes during the debate. i wanteded you to run that as a scroll, how long, it was a one question about immigration. no democrats are setting the terms of the debate 20, 30 questions during the sbir debate. several on birth control. of course gay marriage will go on and on about. and what americans want to know about, what voters want to know about will never come up. they are cowardly and just saying we'll suck up to the press. they're not going to be fair to you, republicans. stop doing this. tell the american people the media is unfair it's run by democrats. they're not doing our debates anymore. >> one fair question came from megan kelly to governor jeb bush
6:47 am
of florida, she asked where do you stand on taking a country to war. she said knowing what you know now, how would you have -- you know enacted this war. would you have gone into war. and here is what jeb finally said later in the week when he responded. zbl i would have. so would have hillary clinton, to remind everybody. so would have almost everybody confronted with the intelligence they got. >> if we're all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, what would you have done? i would not have engaged. i would have not gone into iraq. >> republicans came ourt swinging and said he should have said no. he shouldn't have gone into iraq. where do you stand? >> i think we're all buying into the liberal idea. that liberals warned us there were no weapons of mass destruction. all conservatives said the only reason we should go in is because of the weapons of mass destruction and "the new york times" was right. that isn't what happened. i was reading "the new york
6:48 am
times" editorials. i was reading through our own columns. there are a lot of reasons to take saddam out. there are none to keep him in. when bush gave the state of the union address among the reasons were of course saddam is a tyrant. he brutalized his own people. he used weapons of mass destruction against his own people. he used the weapons of mastz destruction against the iranians. he had more civilian casualties than syria did when obama is threatening his red line. >> now jeb bush says the world is safer because he's gone. isn't iran immensely more powerful. >> the way she asked the question is knowing what you know now. the proper answer to that is well yes, knowing the american people would elect obama and he would give away our victory and throw away everything we want. and i also want to add a being reason to go into iraq was the
6:49 am
1993 world trade center bomber who got away. where did he end up? in iraq. the kidnapping and murder of an american citizen. where did he end up? iraq. the murder of james foley. he ended up iraq. he was a monster. he's in this important area of the world. and why shouldn't we go to war for oil? there's a lot of oil in the region. we need oil. it's like saying, oh, we're going to war for oxygen. yeah we need oxygen. we need oil. there were plenty of reasons to go in. one last thing, because i know you want to go to break, it was liberals who were warning us that because of his weapons of mass destruction, he might nuke israel. there would be mass casualties of our troops. so this is a total lie. jeb bought into it. and then had to give 17 different answers. so it was a terrible answer yes. >> amazing. ann didn't even have coffee this morning. nice to see you this morning. >> thank you. >> ann, thanks.

6:56 am
battery powered. 36-volt. 40 minutes out of one charge. the cool thing is it's interchangeable. so we can slide it right into the string trimmer and we're ready to go with this. >> it's a weed whacker. >> and a blower too? >> right. this is a combi system from steel that works both the blower and string trimmer. this is gas-powered and that is battery powered. but if you're getting up early in the morning to do work the cordless is great and you won't bother anybody. very quiet and effective. >> your neighbors will like you. >> very important safety equipment. >> if you can get one for my neighbors i would be grateful. we're going to break. more "fox and friends." will you stay with us after the show? >> of course. i have work to do. >> awesome. we'll be right back. seize the day and the night. new flonase. 6 is greater than 1. this changes everything. hey america, still not sure whether to stay or go to your people?
