stephanopoulos. an overwhelming number of americans sending a shocking message to george and abc news as new reports suggest the network turned a blind eye to his known bias. now we've shown you this disgusting video of a woman stomping on the flag. this hour meet the proud american who is restoring respect to our stars and stripes by getting every american to rally behind it. as we get set to look forward to memorial day. let me remind you, 6:00 in the east mornings are better with friends. good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us. >> we're glad to have you with us this 6:00 a.m. hour on the east coast. >> 3:00 on the west coast. you're asleep. >> hopefully they're not. >> do you think people watch us in bed? >> you never know. >> my image is like people

getting dressed. i don't see like people saying honey bring me the food in bed. >> my wife is watching us right now in bed. >> really? >> they have this thing called a remote control, brian where you hit the button and it goes on. >> mrs. doocy, send us a picture. show uts what you're doing. >> send in a picture of her in bed? >> does she have a phone near there? >> i hope not. >> okay. >> i will speak for mrs. doocy and say she does not need to send a picture of her in bed. brian says prove it. prove it doocy! >> she's watching. she needs the headlines. for that we turn to a heather. >> what a transition. good morning. we love cathy doocy. let's get to a fox news alert. there is terror to tell you about to the north of us. canadian police arresting ten teenager at montreal's airport

suspected of wanting to go to iraq and syria to fight alongside isis. at this hour their names and ages haven't been released and no charges have been filed but their passports have been confisicated. police are keeping quiet on how they nabs the kids. they say the investigation is ongoing. we'll watch the story throughout the morning. a historic recall to tell you about over exploding air bags. nearly 34 million cars are involveicide in this. takata is expanding its recall following growing pressure from the government. there is a chemical that's meant to inflate the air bags. we are told it can explode with too much force. and they're describing it like a grenade. that faulty part is responsible for six deaths and 100 injuries around the world. if you want to find out if you're vehicle is on that list

go to the website. we'll have more on this at 6:30. the norwegian cruise ship that ran aground is awaiting inspection before it sails back to boston. passengers taking an enormous sigh of relief after their vacation skidded to a screeching halt. >> we were having dinner and there was about 10 to 15 seconds of shuddering. you could feel that the ship stopped. we will talk to that next the next hour: none of the nearly 3,500 people on board that ship were hurt. they hit a coral reef. if that has ever happened to you? it happened to me. it's frightening. >> what do you mean? >> were you on a cruise ship? >> on a smaller boat yeah, in florida. >> thank you very much. you know remember it was about ten years ago that freak wave that 70 foot freak wave hit this

ship. >> we will talk with the passenger aboard that ship. meanwhile the fall of ramadi threatening to unravel iraq's strategy. isis is continuing to gain ground there. meanwhile, the obama administration continues to say, they start off saying this was a setback. now calling it somewhat of a success. no one can figure out where they stand. >> they say it's a success. >> an uh yes was their response when asked if it was a success. you can hear it from josh earnest. >> as with any military effort there will be days of progress and there are going to be periods of setback. again, that's something the president said back in october. i think over the course of the last four or five days we have seen all of this. >> would you say overall the strategy has been a success? >> john yeah i mean overall, yes. we have to sort of decide what our approach of these issues is going to be.

are we going light our hair on fire every time there is a setback in the campaign against isil? >> every time the capital of the anbar province falls we will light our hair on fire. >> thousands are forced to flee should that cause a stir? >> the prime minister was just here they again -- what equipment they had they dropped and ran. now we find out we have shia militia on the outskirts been hired to go win back the sunni region which we know is not going to be successful. >> the reason josh earnest said that the strategy has been successful the president convened his top national security people they're at the white house and said okay how are things going. are we going to change strategy the answer was no. >> what is the strategy? >> the strategy is to count on the iraqis security forces. as we learned last week when isis comes over the hill they

go running. debbie lee is the mother of mark lee. he was the first navy s.e.a.l. who died in ramadi. she had this observation about how this administration is saying everything is just working out fine. >> first they were saying there was no symbolic if it did fall. then they watched as the comments from general dempsey. now it's falling they're making up excuses. we have blood on that soil. my son's blood is on that soil. so many others have sacrificed greatly for that area. there is -- it just shows that there's things we could be doing differently there. tactics that could be employed that we could make a difference over there. now they're only emblazoned to go further and go into baghdad and take that area. >> the bush years, they adjusted they make mistakes and adjusted. until they got it right. even the generals that didn't get it right, turn around and

make adjustments. it doesn't mean 200,000 troops in there. there's a strategy here going forward, but you have to admit this isn't working. when they go out and try to snow us. i think the average american gets frustrated and doesn't want to hear it. >> it's frustrating to hear that the administration would be -- >> the iranian -- >> yeah. this is not a great situation, far from a success. >> they don't want to see it. >> 1,300 marines and soldiers lost their lives there after the 2003 invasion. >> let's home the white house is out and it's a temporary setback and we'll take it again. stand by for that. >> wow. we're going to move on to 2016. i'm sure this topic will come up with regard to that. after more than 40,000 minutes of media silence. hillary clinton is finally answering just a few questions

from reporters. clinton clinton addressing the e-mail scandal but claims the e-mails aren't hers. >> leland vittert with the latest. >> hey, good morning out of iowa none other than our ed henry with the power of persuasion or power of ed henry that got hillary clinton to talk to the media. >> wait. wait. yes, maybe when i finish talking to the people here. how's that? i might. i'll have to ponder it. >> she pondered and decided it was time to allow a q and a. about five minutes that focused on so many of the ethical issues facing her campaign including the issue of her e-mails from that private server. the state department said they would release them in january. a federal judge said that's not good enough. and demanded a quicker time table. clinton claims it isn't her problem anymore. >> well they're not mine.

they belong to the state department. so the state department has to go through its process. >> keep in mind those e-mails that will come from the state department are only the ones she turned over to the state department. there were tens of thousands of e-mails on that server that the clintons deleted. so we have clinton saying she wants her e-mails released. only certain e-mails, not her problem if they're released. although that's not the ones that she deleted when she clearly doesn't ever want released. back to you guys. >> thank you very much. on top of that too, i think it's important to point out that she has copies of those more than likely. she could say, here's my copies take a look at these. this is what we handed out. have fun. >> maybe they haven't been cleared for public eyes. you know. there could be secrets on there. i'm sure she's got an excuse. >> sidney blumenthal was served yesterday. >> he was. he's going to be showing up in

front of the again gauzybenghazi. yesterday we told you stephanopoulos is making $105 million. he's the golden boy at nbc news. as it turns out abc turned a blind eye to his clinton ties. sure he was a communications guy during the clinton years. as it turns out it was revealed that george every day talked with high powered democrats tied to bill clinton. george was one of four clinton insiders who took part in a round robin chat on the phone where democratic strategy was quietly being hatched. he was really at the epicenter of devising democratic party strategy according to this item. while he's working as a journalist. >> it might explain this poll that should abc ban stephanopoulos from presidential campaign coverage. and a whopping 46% said yes. he should be banned.

>> by the way, george stephanopoulos, the big difference between him and brian williams he is an extremely nice guy. >> brian williams never worked in the white house. >> here is brit hume offering his analysis. >> this is a business that depends to some extent on stars. abc news doesn't have the galaxy of stars it once had. and so george is -- they made a big bet on him. i think it's a bad decision for them to be in. it hurts their credibility. i think george has not gone as far as he should to say in the future he will not be connected to the clintons in any way. look if he wants to remain friends with them in a personal way, there's nothing he can do or say about that. the formal connections he's had have been too numerous and he's under a special burden not to have connections above all to those people. >> look he was a partisan. he is a partisan. if hillary clinton is the

candidate, i don't see how he possibly could cover it. i think it's time for abc to bring back diane sawyer let her do it. >> or brit hume. >> he's working here. he's busy. he's at the number one news channel. >> that's right. >> why would he want to go back there? >> i didn't know. >> let us know what you think about it. it's a program that cost taxpayers millions. one state found a way to save money. putting a limit on how long anyone can collect welfare. is that fair? don't blame the bikers for the brawl down in texas. it's sarah palin's fault if you're reading "the washington post." that's kind of what they're saying. ♪ dave's been working on his game... and starting each day with a delicious bowl of heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran. how's your cereal? sweet! tastes like winning. how would you know what winning tastes like?

across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in

people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin

may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. got quick headlines for you on this wednesday morning. overnight. bo biden the son of joe biden rushed to water reed medical center. he is a democratic candidate for governor for delaware. in 2010 he suffered a stroke and in 2013 he had a brain lesion removed. a top secret air force project is expected to take off from cape canavereral. it's the x 37 b and is an

unmanned space plane. that's all we know. the air force doesn't say what the purpose of its mission is only that it's designed to orbit the earth. the state of arizona taking a drastic step to dig itself out of a hole. it's limiting the amount of time anyone can spend living on welfare. welfare used to be 24 months. now it's being slashed to 12 months months. kelli ward is one of the proponents for this joining us from arizona. >> it's great to see you. >> why was this bill important? >> well you know arizona is constitutionally required to balance our budget. we had to make tough choices this session. we had to make a lot of cutsn a lot of different programs. this is one of those that was on the table. and went all the way to the governor. >> okay. i believe it's the shortest in

the nation now. what about -- and what you're doing you will measure the success of this program by the number of people who realize, wait i don't have any benefits and then they wind up and go out and get a job. what about the people who for, you know circumstances beyond their control, can't work? what are they going to do? >> right. people are eligible to apply for maintenance of those benefits. so we aren't going to kick anybody off who is having a hardship. people who are taking care of a disabled relative or foster kids, those kind of things people who have problems with getting getting child care. they will be able to apply to stay on the program if they need to. >> as you were coming up with this bill you took the pulse of your constituents and people are frustrated would the way welfare works in the country? >> i think people are generally frustrated with the way government works overall from welfare to medicaid to defense.

all of those things have to kind of be on the table. i hope that the federal government take as cue from arizona and tries to get things under control. we keep kicking the candown down the road. in arizona we were willing to bite the bullet. it wasn't popular but it was necessary. you can't build anything on a hole. we have to build up our firm foundation so we can be proactive looking towards developing our economy and jobs that are necessary so people can get off of welfare and get into the freedom of employment. >> all right. well you're going to cut it down to one year. we will find out in a year. we'll talk to you then and see how it's going. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> what do you think about that? cutting it down to just one year? some states have five years. e-mail us matefriends@foxnews.com. we showed you the video of a woman stomping on a flag.

photos she now snaps. dawn what were you thoughts -- good morning to you -- what were you thoughts when you saw this? >> actually you know i thought the -- we had been declining the respect of the flag. i saw this and it put me over the edge. i grabbed my flag ipad and got in the car. i was going to go out and prove that wrong, that people do stand behind this country and behind the flag. >> how did you go about it? >> i went to small businesses. i went in at first, i mumbled. i was a little nervous about it. but i tell you, the minute i got out of my mouth that it was standing behind the flag they were like absolutely. tell me where to stand. so after that everybody was like dawn i want you, i want you to come and stand behind the flag and this great country. >> i see these businesses standing behind the flag a number of employees, you see the

fire department there. what town are we talking about? >> chiply, florida, vernon florida. the most patriotic county in florida, washington. >> right. despite your political views i thought we could be under the belief that we all would stand behind the flag. >> absolutely. >> when you went to these businesses did they know about the stomping on the flag or did they just respond to your request? >> it depends. i mean as you can imagine, certain ones are more into it. i find the younger generation, the younger ones didn't understand the stomping but the ones that were veterans the ones they absolutely knew about the stomping. they were like, dawn let's do this. i've been traveling doing this. >> it's fantastic. you said your mind is about the previous generations that have fought for the flag. bring me back to your school of thought there. >> i tell you, the thing that bothered me the most is that

you know all the people that died for this flag that fought for this flag. did tha do it in vain. i'm going to tell you i went to a high school i was shocked they had the whole high school waiting for me. and the moment when i knew that i there was hope was that as i took their picture and after i look down and i heard this young gentleman say, you know don't let the flag touch the ground. i knew right then and there that we won. i was right. they did not die for vain. the people that fought and worked this young gentleman was giving us hope. i think that moment that was it. i was going with it. and since then it has been wonderful. >> how do we help you out? how do we join for people watching as we go internationally as well as around the country? >> get behind the flag. stand behind the flag. let people know this is the most beautiful flag in the greatest

country. put that picture you take aside and take it out later and show your children, grandchildren that you stood behind the flag and this country. maybe we can regain that respect that we have lost in these last few years. that's my hope. >> this week -- by you doing an incredible job. # #proudamerican is a way to show. thanks so much and keep it up. >> thank you, bribrian, waiting for you picture. >> it's coming. i promise. of course have a great memorial day weekend. 32 minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead. if you're about to get in the car this morning and you might just be doing that listen up your air bag could explode in your face. yep, brand-new details on the record breaking recall. remember the deadly biker brawl in texas with nearly 200 gang members under arrest? don't blame the bikers it's sarah palin's fault, at least if

affected. 34 million cars affected. they're not too hard to find. the problem here is that yes, the air bags work. when they deploy they can deploy with such force that shards of metal can hit the driver and other occupants in the car. let's show you a video of these air bags deploying. they've been trying to figure out why it's happening. they think it may be associated with hot, humid climates. this is part of a nationwide recall. this has been an ongoing feud between the government and takata the company that makes the air bag. >> today i announced that takata has agreed to declare that air bag inflaters are defective. it is recalling these inflaters and this recall is nationwide. >> now here's the problem, you got this one manufacturer of air

time? >> what if we did a "fox and friends" van in the morning. >> too far away. >> sounds good. >> you make it sound like you're in omaha. you can swing by. >> i am being lazy. >> we're neighbors. why not? >> get a minivan, a safe one, then we'll all come to work together. >> a "fox and friends" minivan? >> i love that. >> i'm on it. >> we'll have a web cam on it. and this concerns folks in the state of colorado an update for you on a story we brought you previously. the colorado serial shooter, that sniper has this person struck again. this morning we are learning that a cyclist was fatally shot in windsor, colorado that is considered one of the safest towns in the entire state. 48-year-old was found dead on the side of a road on monday morning as he was riding his bike. this area is close to where

daughter to suffocate to death. >> so was this plea deal fair to the family of kristin? criminal defense attorney and trial attorney join me for debate on this. that was an emotional moment for the mom. is it fair? >> yes it is. this is a tragic situation. my heart goes out to the mother and family no question about it. but this is fair. this is a decision that the prosecutor has to make. and it's their sole discretion. what the mom is saying we don't agree, approve. we reject it. but the prosecutor is saying it's fair. on this charge he could have been sentenced to up to 20 years. so what they did is they came down in the middle he pled to ten years in state prison which is a lengthy sentence.

it is fair given the exposure of up to 20. >> is that ten years realistic? some saying he could get out as early as five. >> they have sentencing hearing in july. at that hearing the judge will determine whether it's going to be five or ten. what this case speaks to is the lack of voice victims really have. they can't veto a plea bargain, they can't say no, i lost my family member. i want a jury to decide this. you can do that in civil cases. in criminal cases, victims don't have that right. perhaps they should. >> in terms of when you would have a prosecutor overseeing this you said what is fair in his or her mind may not be fair in the victim's family's mind. how do you know you're being dealt a good hand here? >> the family has their own attorney which i'm sure is having the same discussions with them. listen i've been in the situation before. i'm a former homicide prosecutor. and these cases are very tough to prosecute. because you have the intentional crimes the murders, which are a different animal.

>> because of intent? >> because of intent. somebody that intended to kill somebody. versus reckless conduct. this is a reckless case. he did not intend to kill anybody. what he was trying to do was wake up a friend. >> with an alarm clock, that's how you do it. >> or a cell phone. >> true. you have to look at the intent of the individual. there's a mens rea that's required to prove murder. it's similar to somebody getting into a vehicle under the influence or speeding. these are difficult cases for prosecutors because there is no intention to kill. >> okay. >> they have to work within the statutes. >> quickly before we go. >> i think leave it to a jury. let the victim and their family have a voice. great debate here. we appreciate your insight here. intent being the key word. a dream cruise comes to a screeching halt when a ship runs aground in bermuda. we were having dinner and there was about 10 to 15 seconds of shuddering.

speaking arrangements or the keystone xl pipeline. they had to go through her. apparently she stopped some from going out. there was a record specialist at the department of state who said i'm going to put this out. and sheryl mills reportedly said if you put that out, the secretary of state will not honor a single request for a freedom of information document for the rest of her tenure at the department of state. >> it's a little problem. >> that's a little scary. >> on top of that she was asked about the $25 million she earns in speaking fees. she said we have been very fortunate. >> we remember where we came from. >> it was nowhere near $25 million. if you want to relate to the every day person and ininequity of pay, it's hard to do that from a $25 million top of the mountain. >> and her voice on iraq and her position at the time of going on. >> she said it was a mistake. >> a lot came out of that five

you could tell the ship had stopped moving. immediately after that there was an urgent call over the pa system for the crew to go to their emergency stations. >> must >> muster stations. what were you thinking and talking about? >> we were stunned. it was definitely a stressful moment for us. my family and i went to the upper decks to see if we could see what had happened. it was easy to see we were grounded on the coral reef. shortly after that the captain made the announcement confirming we had lost steering and we were grounded on the reef. >> after that obviously, it must have felt like a lifetime between then and now. what is the position of the ship now and what's going on there? >> now we are safely docked back in bermuda, which is great. and the captain told us they are doing further inspections of the ship just to make sure that nothing is wrong. and hopefully we can safely

cruise back to boston. >> yeah. i understand you lost power for a while. how long was that out? >> that -- i've heard that before from some other reporters, and that's untrue. we never lost power from the ship. we only ever lost steering. >> all right. that's important to have. and later today you hope to be back boston bound, right? >> yeah definitely. >> is this a cruise interrupted? is that on schedule for you to go back to boston or are you going back because of being stuck on the reef? >> yes we were headed from bermuda back to boston. >> thanks so much for bringing us inside the story. it had to be quite harrowing. on the dawn on the norwegian cruise line. >> safer travels than you've had so far. let's talk a little bit about the boy scouts. i was a boy scout. we love the boy scouts. apparently brian wendell, who

was an eagle scout and is a senior editor of boy's life and all the boy scout magazines as well. in his blog he has written to remind scouts, as summer and pool weather lingers on the horizon it's a good time to remind you that policies prohibit pointing simulated firearms at people adding simulated firearms includes water guns. what they're saying is you cannot squirt people with your supersoakers if you intend to be a member in good standing. >> on page 100 they're going after this editor and water balloons saying you have to use small biodegradable balloons fill them more larger than a ping-pong ball. >> that's not fun. you can use a water gun but only at target practice. nothing is better than getting a water gun and shooting it at a target. >> it was so hot when i was little i would pray my friends would shoot me. please cool me off in the 90

degree heat. >> exactly. >> i think i saw the story on daily caller one of the commenters said so does running under a sprinkler simulate artillery fire? taking the fun out of the game. got to wonder about the editor of boy's life. what's he up to there? >> nothing like a water gun not aimed at anybody. >> what happened to summer fun. let us know what you think about that. >> it's a squirt gun. e-mail us facebook us or tweet us as well. >> yeah, you might be all for this you're for not pointing water guns at people. if not, we want your opinion anyway at facebook instagram, take a picture of yourself not using it. >> he considered a squirt gun a simulated firearm. >> too much logic. you saw the pictures isis celebrating in the streets. the white house says we're winning. let's watch both sides.

>> people are cheating. and the faa in 2013 abruptly changed its hiring practices. they had roughly 3,000 college graduates who had gone through the faa designed program at colleges and community colleges across the country to become air traffic controllers. took those 3,000 people and through them away and they'll hire anybody off the street. the key test you have to pass is a personality test with incredible questions. >> like some of the questions are, the number of high school sports you participated in. >> that's one. it's multiple choice. >> how would you describe your ideal job. what do these questions have to do with looking at a radar trying to figure out if the united flight is going to crash into the flight? >> we asked that question of the faa. they say this is a validated test. professionally validated. then you have to ask the question why did they throw out the 2014 test and go to a new test. none of this makes sense.

then there's the cheating. you heard part of that recording. we got hold of an faa employee who sent what seems to be answers to people who were taking this personality test. there is so much of this story. here's more of what you're going to see tonight at 5:00. >> it's not a simple question. i want to ask you why you gave the answers to students? you said you gave them answers to the biographical questions. >> he continued to avoid answering our question. >> there are people from the nbc fae who say you gave them answers. who do i speak to about this? >> no comment. >> is there -- they say you gave them the answers. i'm just trying to find out if that's true or not. >> this is part of your six month investigation. >> six month investigation. you contacted those people back in january. the faa in march. we've gotten partial answers from the faa. everybody refuses to go on camera. >> the part that's really frustrating is there were 3,000

people who had qualified and they threw them out in the name of diversity. >> this was a push to become more diverse in the nation's air control towers. they threw away qualified men and women who were african-american women, latino americans. >> they lowered the standard. >> on another test they lowered the standard. when you step on board an airplane are the men and women guiding your flight going to be the best qualified to get you there safely. >> did they cheat. we'll be watching at 5:00. to find adam and his exclusive trouble in the skies go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder and there you'll find where fox business is on your cable lineup. thank you very much. meanwhile, new reports suggest abc turned a bindlind eye to his bias. should george stephanopoulos be allowed to cover hillary's campaign. michelle malkin joins us in a

how are you? >> i'm well. my sister is such a yo-yo dieter she'll lose 15 pounds before summer and put it back on each year. normal or nuts? >> i'll say normal. i understand vanity. if she's 15 pounds or 10 pounds overweight. i wish she could keep it off. i understand the bathing suit thing. in fact by july first i will be ten pounds lighter. because i like that vanity thing, too. it's a sacred oath of being ten pounds lighter. and i will keep it off. >> we'll be your accountability friends. what about this one? i love my brother's exboyfriend. he's married now and could care less. am i nuts for going after a sib sibbing sibling sibling's former love?

>> you're nuts. is there some kind of sibling rivalry simmering below the surface? you're about to expose your sibling to somebody that was intimate with him in the past. i don't see any reason why you'd want to do that unless it's a competition thing. there are lots of people in the world you can fall in love with. thankfully. it's very unlikely this person is the only person for you. and if so it might be fuelled by this sibling rivalry. >> looking deep into it. i want to tell everybody, you've got a real inspiring new project coming out. callled project prescription. so tell about what it is. >> so elizabeth, prescriptions are iconic. they have great meaning. usually what we do is we write out medicines for people. i wanted to write out cultural lessons, things that people could do or lots of us could do to change the world or ourselves. i created three by four foot prescriptions, museum quality, this is like on archival paper

of her cronies. but it's the crony capitalism that has some on both sides of the aisle outraged. michelle malkin returns to the curvy couch. say good bye to skirtquirts guns could the boy scouts be banning them? should we let kids be kids and let them soak each other when they are fully dressed and going to their communion like they used to be able to do? >> what? squirt guns at communion. >> let me get my supersoaker. >> you've combined the catholic church and the boy scouts. >> let me just remind you mornings are better with friends. i got a feeling you're going to try to explain why you related squirt guns with holy communion. >> it seemed like we would soak each other as children when we were dressed up.

nobody ever said don't point that at him. they said don't dress up. >> never more dressed up than on your first communion. >> suddenly it makes perfect sense. >> we had to cancel two guests in the explanation. >> i'll hand my supersoaker to heather nauert. >> i do have breaking news i want to bring you. you all remember this story that happened in indonesia. moments ago, we are learning from a italian police they have arrested a man behind the march attack on a tunisiaen museum that killed 22 people mostly tourists there. officials say they just found the murocken man at his mother's home. he was one of those migrants who apparently took a boat from northern africa to italy to try to escape. he was among some of those migrants and they have now caught this guy. isis claimed responsibility for that blood bath that left so many people dead. the man's arrest warrant includes premeditated murder and

training terrorists. he allegedly arrived in italy on that migrant boat one month before the attack and was ordered to leave. it's not clear if or when he did. overnight we have some other news to bring you out of canada. canadian police arresting ten teenager at montreal's airport suspected of wanting to go to iraq and to syria to fight alongside isis. just another example of things going on this morning involving terrorism. another alert to bring you from back here at home. a colorado serial sniper struck again? we are learning that a cyclist was fatally shot in windsor colorado, colorado colorado. it's considered one of the safest towns. a 40-year-old man was found dead on the side of the road on monday morning. it's near where this woman was shot in her neck as she drove on the highway. the shooter is still on the loose. the fbi has joined the case. they're investigating three more

car window shootings in the surrounding area from earlier this year. if you are a drug dealer over the age of 40. the nypd will not be arresting you. what? narcotics detectives in the narcotics department are being told to target younger drug dealers because they're more likely to carry guns. top brass chewing out officers who arrest anyone outside of that 18-40-year-old demographic. looking to buy a new home? this one comes with 100 rooms, a cafeteria and two gyms. the 2015 class put their school up for sale as a senior prank. they set the price for $15.2 million. they list all the amenities. the offer expires at graduation. >> it sounds like a good investment. >> i added it to my cart.

thank you very much. look who is here our buddy michelle malkin has come down from the mountain. >> thank you for having me back. it's like a family reunion. >> i'm getting overcome with emotion. >> we've got each other on a different turf. >> yeah. much less friendlier territory. now i am among friends. >> you are. it's great to have you. we want to talk a little bit about politics. hillary clinton came down from her mountain yesterday. she maintained radio silence for a long time. she finally answered some questions. i think five or six over five or six minutes. here she is talking about sidney blumenthal. one of her aides and confidants who was on the front page of the "new york times," not in a good way. she was asked about the relationship and she had this to say. >> i have many many old friends. and i always think that it's important when you get into politics to have friends you had before you were in politics. and to understand what is on

their minds. he's been a friend of mine for a long time. he sent me unsolicited e-mails which i passed on in some instances. and i see that's part of the give and take. when you're in the public eye, when you're in official position i think you do have to work to make sure you're not caught in a bubble and you hear from a certain small group of people. i'll keep talking to my old friends, whoever they are. >> let's put that to bed. it makes total sense. >> you want to stay grounded. >> that's right. this woman lays it on thicker than a john deer manure spreader. they never answer questions, they evade them. invoking the friend card really she thinks this is going to work? apparently it has. because, of course it took vis long for the fish wrapper record "the new york times" to deign to recognize the story which has been floating around for months about blumenthal the hit man working his magic behind the scenes.

>> it's almost back to the future. same thing, different topic, different incident. her support does not budge, how do you explain that? >> the culture of corruption runs deep. it is -- has been an incurable disease in the democratic party. they've become completely inneurto it among voters. it does not help that we have this white washing media that has covered her from back in the days when the white house travel office and china gate and all the rest. when sidney blumenthal was in his -- in full bloom in washington, d.c. and of course you know that phrase there, in some instances. what is she covering up? what e-mails have been deleted? what sid mail have we not seen yet? >> she's a lawyer everything is parsed. speaking of the media, george stephanopoulos was revealed much to his embarrassment he has donated a lot of money to the clinton foundation. when he -- for instance when he was attacking peter schweizer about ten days ago regarding his

book. it looked like he was a clinton attack dog. it turns out he was. this new poll shows a plurality of americans say he be involved in the presidential campaign. >> the people who were polled have a heck of a lot more common sense than the news officials at abc who have looked the other way from the very day he was hired. this is one of my all time pet peeves. it's not the presence of bias that's a problem in the so-called mainstream media. it's always the pretense of objectativity. and the double standard. >> tim russert had no problem and diane sawyer worked for nixon there was no problem, that's what they went with. >> because there was full transparent honest disclosure. we've had this theater of journalism. i wouldn't mind if there were more of a balance here if people who were on the conservative side of the aisle were allowed to be main stream.

>> shifting gears again, ramadi has fallen into the hands of isis now. yet the white house as we heard press secretary josh earnest say yesterday our strategy against isis is a success. >> it's working. >> you say? >> he should have stopped at well uh in that answer. it's so daunting when you think of how these people define success. because it chills me to the bone to prepare for when we have failure. i mean we've had yemen fall. we've had gitmo recitivism. the benghazi guy who was released from gitmo walking out there. and how many more ticking time bombs are out there. it's not just the fall of all of these places overseas but the fact that isis has come here. >> sure. >> right. >> i got to bring it to something else you might want to talk about. this is a fantastic idea. it's called who built that. this is your latest book. >> this sounds familiar.

>> it's inspiring stories of american tinker prunears. many of you know me as the angry brown lady on cable tv. you're much more than that. you have a passion for this. >> thank you. you know, i was inspired to write this book i dedicated it to president obama. he better read it because we're sending it to him straight to the white house. i started out in the anger cable tv mode. i ended up writing what i think is a joyful book. i think it's time especially for free market conservatives like myself and others who are fighting in the public sphere to fill this vacuum. these are stories that you can actually read out loud and share with your kids. unsung -- >> give me example. who is your favorite? >> the first chapter which i read about in a column today. you can see it on michellemalkin.com. is a huge fan of fox news. i visited him at his ontario

headquarters the creator of mag lite flightash light. he's a torch bearer of the american dream. came her from nothing from an island off of coasia. and built this multibillion dollar business from nothing. loves this country. and won't stop. unlike the golfer in chief. this guy is 84 years old and doesn't take a vacation. what do we have in the hospital? a guy who denigrates people who takes credit for their success and refused the government's hand in the success -- >> what are you hoping people get by highlighting these entrepreneur ontruprunears? >> i want people to understand,

home school children. i want grand parent to read it to their grandkids. it's the american exceptionalism. we should not be ashamed of it. part of this book is a manifesto against the wealth shaming of the progressives and obama. what was he doing last week? he was calling people who were asuccessful society's lottery winners. this is a guy who tells people at a certain point you've earned enough moan. you're not the decider of our success. that's our had history. it's deriving the joy and pride and restoring that again. i would like to see every republican candidate be able to talk about this in a positive manner. i think that's our problem. how can we not sell freedom? it's the best product on the face of the earth. >> we saw the angry face a moment ago. there's the happy face. it's a great book. it's called who built that.

great to have you back. >> you too, so good to see you. >> see you on radio. >> you bet. meanwhile coming up next at 13 minutes after the hour. sadly, nine dead 18 hospitalized at least 170 arrested. the result of rival biker gangs clashing in waco texas. what causes so much violence in the biker gang culture? peter johnson, jr., also with three names, explains next. are you working hard or hardly working? >> morning, george. >> good morning. >> new research explains why the lazy people are more likely to get promoted. when we talk about lazy we're talking about guys. ♪

analyst, peter johnson, jr. i'm looking at this nine dead as we know it 18 hospitalized. close to 200 arrested. how did this all start? >> it's an interesting history. we have nine dead, 18 hospitalized. 170 arrested. it all began back after world war ii. veterans in world war ii. so we see that and there were famous riots in the late 1940's. of course it takes us back to even marlon brando immortalizing biker gangs. remember him, the stereo type in the wild one, take a look at this. >> don't do that. >> it was a brutal movie at that time. it got x ratings even in england. we jump to 1969.

several dozen members of the hell's angels were paid $500 in beer to act as informal security at a festival. one gang member stabbing an 18-year-old man to death just 20 feet from the stage where the rolling stones were performing. in fact mick jagger had death threats years after that for not backing up the hell's angels. since then hundreds of motorcycle gangs have strug up. the warlocks the mongols and the bandito, they are embracing the criminal way of life. >> how many people are we looking at? >> let's get the gangs clear. there is a lot of people who ride motorcycles who are established organizations who do great things. there is a subculture of. a critic in the 1960's who say

the majority of motorcyclists are law abiding citizens. a number of large scale busts by the fbi, state and local law enforcement, batf decimated the ranks. most biker gangs try to stay under the radar. this attack is strange in texas. to avoid drawing attention to criminal activity. >> when you see like 35,000 at least involved in these gangs, are we looking at the new face of biker wars? does waco really set forward this new war? >> i think we have to understand that you look at the hell's angels the banditos they have 9 pun 900 people. there is all kinds of criminal activities. we will have to keep an eye on that going forward. peter johnson, jr., thank you. now, a warning, if you're about to get in your car this morning, your air bag could explode in your face.

we'll show you air bags deploying to remind you of the force we're talking about here. they're trying to figure out why this happens. it appears to be associated primarily with hot and humid climates. the u.s. secretary of transportation made this announcement yesterday after a long protracted battle with the manufacturer of the air bags. >> this ismonumental effort. there is no doubt about it. this recall involves 11 auto manufacturers. many different parts suppliers, not just takata and roughly double the number of vehicles built in the united states every year. >> this is going to be a huge deal because there are so many manufacturers of these vehicles involved. now, you should get a notice from the manufacturer if your vehicle is affected. absent that you can -- steve you mentioned this -- you can get
