jerrod niemann. he got started in country music because his mom won a guitar in a contest and she didn't want it and gave it to the kid. >> he's been singing since he was 8 years old. that's incrkrecrediblincredible. we have him on our plaza and famous dave's barbecue. ribs on the grill. great day. >> thank you very much for joining us on this holiday friday morning. we start with an important fox news alert. >> it's a busy morning here. brand new video showing daron dylon being taken into custody overnight. >> he was not alone as many suspected. several others arrested possibly including his brother who reportedly had a large amount of
3:03 am
cash. >> this was quite an operation. they tracked them all of the way from washington to new york and back to washington yesterday. we go live to washington outside the mansion where those four were murdered. and this -- it looks like, the manhunt has come to an end, right, rich? >> reporter: it has all ended here. this is the location where they arrested daron dylon after a manhunt took them from washington, d.c. all of the way to new york city. brooklyn, new york. any tracked this suspect and found it was him because they say he left dna on a slice of pizza crust that they found in that home that was burned out just a few miles from here. police say they tracked him up to new york and back down to washington, d.c. to a suburban d.c. howard johnson hotel. that's where they observed him and several others getting into a caravan of one is a box truck. it looks like a ryder truck that you would rent along with the
3:04 am
chevy sedan. they drove around for about five miles coming back into the district of columbia from maryland ending up in the location right here and they arrested them with cash and five to six others. the local fox station here says that his brother is also among the arrested. we're not clear on any charges for the five to six folks who were arrested. we do know according to police that he's been charged with first-degree felony murder while armed. it all ended here. >> right there on rhode island avenue in northeast washington. >> good job u.s. marshals. >> along with detectives in new york and d.c., talk about a collaborative effort. here's a little bit about daron wint. >> he worked as a welder.
3:05 am
>> american iron works is owned by savvsa savopoulos. >> no stranger to trouble. he was arrested outside headquarters carrying a machete and bb gun and an incredible rap sheet. in 2000 he tried to join the marines but was dropped weeks later. >> he ends up implicated in this horrific crime. what his brother was doing and others was doing will be substantial. i just wonder what would have happened if he had not ordered the pizza and set the fire. how long would we be looking for him? >> apparently this family took security very seriously. they had a ferocious dog, a guard dog. i heard the dog's name was ginger. friends of the family says if anyone comes into the yard,
3:06 am
ginger would have let people know. the question is had they been watching the family to the point where ginger went out for a walk with the maid or somebody or they somehow were able to neutralize the dog. >> or was the dog comfortable enough with the person that ended up coming up. sometimes that's often times the case. >> it sounds like if they had this guy, they were going to talk about in a moment and you'll hear a sound bite from mark. if they arrested this guy, his brother and four other people, there's a good possibility that the pizza delivered by domino's was not for the victims but were for the crew inside the house. >> this suspect seems like he is a low level criminal. this crime does not fit his rap sheet. i have a feeling that there is other suspects involved in this.
3:07 am
at least one. he has a lot of information. a lot of intelligence that can only come from inside the family and he certainly doesn't have that contact. you know, this crime just does not fit $40,000. he could have walked into any metropolitan bank and got $40,000 and if he got caught, he's doing 15 years in federal prison. now he's looking at the death penalty. >> earlier in the night we heard from the police chief of washington, d.c. who said they believe that this is not random at all. whether or not others were involved, she did not say. >> how was he let go when he worked for him? >> don't know. he was a welder for the iron works company that belonged to the guy who was there. of course the thing that really turned the tide and they're outside washington, d.c. there, that's the apartment that apparently this guy, wint, got into a lot of arguments with the
3:08 am
landlord. you're smoking down there, the music is too loud and this guy said i'll drop you and your wife one by one. don't mess with me or i'm going to kill you. nonetheless, you have to wonder whether or not had they not found the pizza crust with the dna of that guy there, would we still be looking for him? >> you're right. dr. michael baden who understands forensics better than anyone says work done by the investigators and police in this case with getting that pizza crust is remarkable. listen to what he had to say. >> remember, the police are coming into four dead bodies, a fire, all of the water that the fire department puts into the house in order to stop the fire and somebody there thought of picking up the partially eaten pizza because what they're looking at is not just pizza but pizza that had saliva on it. that took excellent police work to pick it up and realize
3:09 am
potential of looking at saliva for dna. >> there are so many people who say things about -- i know lawyers have to defend their client but not like this. last night i have known him as a gentle person. victim of injustice in the past. i represented him in six cases and wasn't found guilty of anything. if you represent someone in six criminal cases, he's usually a bad person. >> he had 39 brushes with the law. at one point it got so bad with this guy, his own father got a protective order against his son because the son threatened to kill him, his stepmother and his 8-year-old sister to the point where they had to have protection order extended to the sister's school. >> the lawyer seems to be in denial here. >> i know you are in lawyer mode but you didn't have to say that. when you threaten a child, you must say that person lost a temper.
3:10 am
this guy was capable of hurting that child. >> autopsy reports under way when those come about we'll know when that fire started and if they were alive when it did and what inhalation levels were. >> the early word is they weren't out alive when that fire started. >> busy morning here. good morning, heather. you have news breaking overnight. >> good morning, everyone. hope you're off to a great morning so far. a fox news alert. a terror task force arresting two want to be jihadies in southern california. one of the men taken down at lax airport and second guy nabbed in nearby orange county. fbi says they were planning to travel overseas to join isis and despite a recent increase in arrests, president obama says -- the president has said basically he doesn't think that we are losing the fight against isis at this point calling ramadi a setback. extreme weather to bring you

now. look at this mess in corpus christi, texas. water-logged cars trying to make their way home after a series of storms. the water flooded streets and it is waist deep. in wichita falls, hundreds were forced to evacuate homes because of rising floodwaters there. power was shut off to prevent fires there. this guy trying to make the best of it took his kayak to work. interesting. and dr. oz at it again. is he secretly a superhero? that's the question we're wondering this morning. we'll let you decide. watch this. >> you see him down at the bottom of the screen. he climbs up on the stage and goes up those stairs. this at a florida shopping mall. he saw a woman faint at the top of the staircase and leaped over a barricade to grab her. she was alert and conscious when he got there.
3:12 am
she was transported to the hospital as a precaution. this is just two weeks after dr. oz helped with a car crash on the new jersey turnpike and a year or so ago a tragic accident outside of our studio. dr. oz helped out with that as well. >> i've known him a long time. he loves what he does and he's ready to help at all times. that's what i can say. >> this doesn't happen all the time. we're at a mall, on a street in mid town. did you hear his first reaction? are you serious? >> we need more dr. ozs out there. this murder suspect was taken down by pizza crust and our next guest says criminals leave behind dna all the time. our forensic expert takes us behind the scenes of the crime next. 14 points for emoji but can you say the brand new word added to a scrabble board near you,

3:17 am
here to help understand what happened is forensic expert and attorney jennifer baringer. when the cops rushed into this mansion in washington, d.c. last week and it had been burning and there were four dead bodies, somebody, some fbi guy or local police officer said, hey, why is there a box of domino's pizza right there. >> absolutely. you were mentioning this earlier. there's no way they would have found these people had they not done this dna. they are lucky that they were able to maintain the saliva on the pizza crust in time to get it to testing because saliva has more dna than any other human bodily fluid. all you need is a tiny bit and you'll have somebody's dna and luckily they have his dna on file but now that they have all these other people, perhaps they
3:18 am
weren't incodus but there are other people involved. we'll see. >> he was arrested with four or five other people including his brother. there's suggestion they could have all been in on it. >> absolutely. dna could be -- there could be more dna of theirs on the pizza crust that we haven't been able to identify if it's not in codus we won't know yet. i'm sure they're swabbing them now. >> let me ask you about this. historically when there's a crime scene cops always take fingerprints and stuff like that and if they're in the system they can track down the perpetrators. in some cases there are actually these dna samples that have been taken. why, jennifer, don't we take a dna swab from every person who is arrested? we would not have cracked this case without that dna. >> that's correct. and there are a lot of people that argue that we should. right now we only take them from
3:19 am
specific types of crime like rape. also burglary tends to be a crime that evolves into rape and any kind of crime where the dna would be absolute proof positive of guilt or innocence and we like to take dna but those are very, very small group of crimes. the fact that we only have wint's dna on file, the rest of these guys could show up any time now after they test them. they're probably just not in codus. >> if we're going to take somebody's thumb prints and fingerprints and people are okay with that, why not just take a genetic thumb print, which is the dna? >> that's right. that's the exact same argument that they already have the fingerprints on file. most criminals are really savvy now and they wear gloves. they are really good about that. they don't realize so many of them go into these crime scenes and eat, use the bathroom,
3:20 am
things like that and your bodily fluids are everywhere. so much easier to track now. >> no kidding. jennifer, thank you very much. >> thanks. it is exactly 20 minutes after the top of the hour on this friday. attention passengers, this is your captain. wait until you hear about the latest idea from the cockpit. maybe you like it and maybe you won't. to spy or not to spy is the latest debate facing candidates for president. what do voters want to hear? do they want the patriot act? our political panel on deck. good morning, folks. you're next on "fox & friends."

time for news by the numbers. first 41% is how many americans are expected to travel this holiday weekend. that number up 11% from last year as gas goes up, too. $2.66 is the average price of gas. that amount down $1 from this time last year. aaa says that will fuel the busiest driving weekend in a decade. finally 52%, that's how many of us will attend a cookout or barbecue and feast at a beach house on plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs. >> bring the gear. >> privacy versus security. republican presidential hopefuls are divided over the patriot act. could their stance make or break their white house bid? we'll ask our political panel.
3:25 am
here we have it right now. in terms of what the american people want, we have a poll by aclu, 60% want to change the patriot act, 34% want to preserve the patriot act. the time is ticking down to that date when it's set to expire. where the republicans and presidential hopefuls have positioned themselves thus far, is it wise? >> is it wise to support the patriot act? >> sure. >> no. it won't lose them an election. it's not something -- it's not a top priority issue in the polls. i think it's reaching a tipping point where americans are getting frustrated with having all of their information gathered and not knowing where that information is going. jeb bush, for instance, he's really not separating himself from his brother and i think that's a factor that will weigh into the election. he should be running as the black sheep of his family. and he's not really setting himself separate from his father and that's going to help him in the primary. >> will that position rand paul ahead of the pack given his
3:26 am
position and his long -- he was out there for almost 12 hours. we shouldn't have to choose between our liberty and our national security. >> so he's on the far end of the spectrum. he thinks absolutely that section 215 should just expire. they shouldn't even be able to use it. he's on the far end of the spectrum. this is his issue. this is why he's running for president. you know the security thing, civil liberties, he's the civil liberties candidate. that's something he had to do to set himself apart. if he didn't own this issue, he would have been dead in the water. >> does it help him or hurt him? >> it helps him. it's his opportunity to set himself apart from 16 other republicans running at this point. >> the truth is it helps him likely in a general election matchup against potentially hillary clinton who endorsed these type of nsa policies during the obama administration. one of the few things
3:27 am
republicans agree with barack obama on is how he pursued these nsa policies and war on terror in some suspects. in a republican primary you won't win by opposing the patriot act. that's a silly thought. i think the civil liberties, civil libertarian wing of the republican party will like rand paul's position. ted cruz is trying to replicate a part of that. ultimately speaking we know that national security will play a major role in 2016 and it will be hard to say that this policy on a whole has failed when it kept us safe for over a decade. >> back to jeb bush. should he run as black sheep of his family and take the position that he doesn't agree that this surveillance program is keeping us safe even if in his heart of parts and that fact base he believes that it does? >> he don't need jeb bush to be inauthentic. a lot of americans don't want the patriot act repealed. they want it modified. we're seeing that in congress right now. 338 republicans and democrats
3:28 am
coming together over a compromise, shocking, piece of legislation that modified aspects of that whole bulk collection that the nsa does and allowed to do it in more targeted ways. this is a very logical compromise that i think you'll see most republicans ultimately supporting and i hope some democrats as well. >> you have seen hillary say that. she came out a few days ago and said i support the patriot act which is a bold statement to act but more transparent patriot act. >> did you say hillary was transparent? >> this compromise legislation that you're talking about ted cruz is the only person that's openly supported that. marco rubio wants a full renewal. jeb bush wants a full renewal. >> most want the reform or repeal. >> president obama supports it. ted cruz. who would have thought. >> thanks. caught on camera. a woman in a wheelchair falls on the tracks seconds before the sprain speeds through. take a look at this how a

stranger saved her life. that story straight ahead for you. there are e-mails that hillary and state department don't want you to see. timing released just before the holiday weekend. what's inside and what it could mean for her campaign coming up. first, we want to wish a happy birthday to naomi campbell. new flonase allergy relief nasal spray. 24 hour relief that outperforms a leading allergy pill. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance, flonase controls six. seize the day and the night. new flonase. 6 is greater than 1. this changes everything.
3:30 am
i started with pills. and now i take a long-acting insulin at night. i take mine in the morning. i was trying to eat right, stay active. but i wasn't reaching my a1c goal anymore. man: my doctor says diabetes changes over time. it gets harder to control blood sugar spikes after i eat and get to goal. my doctor added novolog® at mealtime for additional control. now i know. novolog® is a fast-acting, injectable insulin and it works together with my long-acting insulin. proven effective. the mealtime insulin doctors prescribe most. available in flexpen®. vo: novolog® is used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. take novolog® as directed.
3:31 am
eat a meal within 5 to 10 minutes after injection. check your blood sugar levels. do not take novolog® if your blood sugar is too low or you're allergic to any of its ingredients. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medicines you take. ask your doctor about alcohol use, operating machinery, or driving. the most common side effect is low blood sugar. symptoms may include dizziness, sweating, confusion, and headache. severe low blood sugar can be life-threatening. other common side effects include low potassium in your blood and injection site reactions. get medical help right away if you experience trouble with breathing, serious allergic reactions like swelling of your face, tongue, or throat, sweating, extreme drowsiness, dizziness, or confusion. now i know about novolog®. taken by millions since 2001. vo: ask your health care provider about adding novolog®. it can help provide the additional control you may need.

3:33 am
friday document dump. how timely is this? the state department expected to release the very first batch hot out of the oven of e-mails from hillary clinton's private e-mail address as early as today and probably after we've had a couple burgers, beers and dogs. >> for you that's 11:00 a.m. for everybody else it's 4:00. 55,000 will go out there. "the new york times" got about a third of the 850 pages that are going to be dumped when we're all having a hot dog or something like that. what's interesting is the state department chose the ones that they are sending to the committee and these are from the benghazi select committee. and they paint a portrait about hillary clinton and her concern over benghazi. now, it's good news and bad news for hillary. the good news is in these e-mails from her longtime
3:34 am
confidant, working with companies in libya to make money off the fall of gadhafi. he said the attack was a reaction to that youtube video. he said it was based on the video according to his sources. then the next day he sent an e-mail to hillary and said the attacks were premeditated. it was not anything to do with that video according to his sources. it had been planned for a month and carried out by terrorists. >> when hillary clinton joined president obama at andrew's air force base to meet coffins of four americans killed in benghazi, she decided to pick one of those e-mails to reiterate to the american public and it wasn't the second one. it was the first. >> which happens to be the white house's mantra, their theme. >> she went out and continued that narrative that it was a
3:35 am
video that actually caused those killings. >> so far i wouldn't say there's a smoking gun. there's a difference but i wouldn't say this is earth shattering news. let's make it all make sense. marie harp brings the truth home. let's see how she does this time. >> i can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the documents published by "the new york times." the department has not shared secretary clinton's e-mails with any news organizations. i can also say that we'll be releasing very, very soon the first set we said we would be released to documents already provided to the committee related to benghazi. >> hillary will be able to say -- when one says you said it was a video, she can say my first e-mail from somebody over there said it was a video. however the small print is the second day she got the correct information and that was that it was terrorists. >> i know by looking at this --
3:36 am
benghazi aside -- by the end of looking at these e-mails, maybe the focus group will have an answer as to what did hillary clinton accomplish as secretary of state. we'll see forensics of what was done because we're not sure. >> or how many mistakes can someone make because they are given the highest position right now. in chief. president of the united states. how many chances does somebody get to maybe accomplish but also mess up many times and then cover up. >> what difference does it make? >> there you go. exactly. i tell you what, 24 minutes before the top of the hour, we need news. we turn over to heather who starts in baltimore. >> good morning to you all. six baltimore police officers indicted by a grand jury on charges in the case of freddie gray who died in police custody. that grand jury's decision allows the state's attorney to move forward with the most serious charges against those officers. this coming as brand new video surfaces showing gray not moving when officers stopped the van after his arrest. the officers are next due in
3:37 am
court on july 2nd. crazy video out of the suburbs of chicago. take a look at this. this woman lucky to be alive after she fell out of her wheelchair while crossing the train track just seconds before this train comes by. luckily a good samaritan steps in. pulls the woman and her husband to safety with just moments to spare. her husband is also disabled. the wheelchair couldn't get across that track fast enough. the two suffered minor injuries but are otherwise objecting and lucky to be alive this morning. do you want your pilot texting in the cockpit? the faa is now expanding a program let air traffic controllers clear flights for takeoff by texting details to the pilot. industry experts say this reduces the chance for miscommunication and pilots can approve a flight plan with a click of a button instead of spending 15 minutes on the radio. that's what we're told. faa wants the system in place at

3:39 am
>> i played spot it. it's a great game. >> we play scrabble at our house. >> we play monopoly. >> you know what else we do a lot of? we play monopoly. we love monopoly. >> we turn to fox news channel to maria. >> i like playing monopoly and chess. that's a lot of fun. let's go ahead and look at the current temperatures across the nation because as you walk out the door this morning, you'll notice that it's a little bit on the chilly side so we have the unofficial start of summer around the corner and you are looking at temperatures in the 40s and 50s from rockies to parts of the northeast. 55 right now here in new york city. so you do need that light jacket as we head out the door. maybe a sweater or very brave young men and women who do not have a jacket. they don't need anything. take a look at those high temperatures across the country.
3:40 am
you'll stay below average. the exception is in florida where we do have temperatures climbing into the 90s and across parts of the plains drought really what's been alleviated because we've been seeing so much rain coming down out there and forecast is for that to continue. unfortunately we're getting too much rain in a short amount of time so that looks like flash flooding will be a big issue as we head into this weekend. stay safe out there. severe weather will also be a concern. back inside. >> it's great to see you, maria, and military men and women behind you. let's continue with that theme. proud americans across the country have gathered this week at the gi film festival to share stories of our brave men and women in uniform. today and in past generations battle scars is raw emotional roller coaster taking the audience through the heartbreaking journey of the truth behind the battle. we're joined by two of the stars of the film. welcome to both of you. it's great to see you up close and personal with this festival. tell me about your film,

3:42 am
phenomenal blessing. >> we also stole hugs from them, too. >> absolutely. >> what's most impressive are average men and women you see that they're happy that you respect their service and you're happy to let them know you respect their service. it's mutual admiration society. heather, did you learn something about the experience of serving and studying for films like this? >> i did. you know, i have family members that have served and friends and i talked to them about their experiences and what they went through. i do not play a soldier in the movie, but i befriend one. it's really about his journey, our lead guy, luke. an incredible journey to go through the process of discovery through this movie. >> big event tonight, kristen? >> absolutely. very much looking forward to it. i'm excited. it will be my first time seeing it all put together. i'm so excited and blessed to be part of this film.

4:02 am
winttaken into custcustody. >> along with his brother, who reportedly had a large amount of cash. >> and rhode island avenue in washington where the manhunt came to an end. rich? >> reporter: that video you were just watching is what the scene is right now. 11:00 around last evening, when police caught up with daron dylon, the 34-year-old. what a track it was. identifying him through a slice of pizza crust they found at the scene of the crime and finally police began their chase locally in d.c. after returning from new york city in a nearby maryland motel. >> we were able to identify him inside the vehicle but the vehicle pulled out before we could stop it. we tailed the vehicle. we were able to get to a location to safely take him down with the assistance of pg county
4:03 am
police helicopter, able to pin both vehicles and we arrested him. >> police have charged wint with first-degree murder, while armed. there were five to six others, according to police that were arrested on-scene last evening, but they're not saying if they're charging any of those people with any crimes. as you noted, wttg, our fox pat partners here in washington, d.c., among those arrested were wint's brother and also they captured an amount of cash. they're not saying how much. back to you. >> rich, thank you very much. so maybe five to six taken into custody. >> the key point there at the end was, a large amount of cash. they haven't disclosed. keep in mind, it was mr. savopoulos' assistant before they were murdered, took $40,000 to the mansion, said it was, i think somebody said it was for the opening of a martial arts location that they were opening in chantilly, virginia. nonetheless, if they found a bunch of dough in the back of
4:04 am
that truck it does make sense. >> so who is this guy? 34 years oles, born in guyana, tried to join the marines, did and couldn't get through basic training and given an honorable discharge, and then the rap sheet starts. >> he actually had an arrest, he was brought in for having a bb gun and two-foot long machete right outside american works headquarters there and carrying those, released, only charged with having an open container, i believe at the time, and he's got a long criminal history including burglary, domestic violence, assault. you mentioned that attempt to join the marines. dropped weeks after that. >> yeah. and as the key point on the first page was the fact that he worked as a welder as american iron works. american iron works, the ceo, was the man who was murdered. so did he know this guy? that's the question. actually, i think -- >> he knew his background, knew his personally, definitely his
4:05 am
background. >> we just heard from rich edison apparently perhaps the brother and others arrested at the scene yoeoverer night in washington, d.c. retired police officer here in new york city, stephen rogers, was on the channel, and he said it feels to him like this guy had help. >> the police needed to take him alive, which they did, and as a result of that, they're now going to sit with him. they're going to speak with him and find out if, in fact, anyone else was involved with him. i, as many law enforcement officers believe, this was never a random crime. planned and executed by a number of people. >> this was a guy who seems to have is a violent past, ugly past, he cannot hold a job, and it looks like he pulled off one of the most horrific, most gruesome quadruple murders that you could possibly imagine. >> he's accused of that. >> that's what he's accused of. to think they would hurt a

child, a 12-year-old child in front of the parents for money extortion and they they can get away whith it by burning down te house. >> one of the victims was a maid there. hear from her husband, knocked on the d.c. mansion, apparently at the time of this gruesome attack. >> they were still all alive inside. >> sure were, but then he left after he received this bizarre cell phone call from inside saying his wife wasn't there. he said this -- i was knocking and knocking and ringing the bell and i just had a feeling somebody was inside. he then got the call. he said, i'm sorry. i meant to call you, vera asked me to call you. she had to stay with my wife because she was feeling bad and has to go to the hospital and i will call you when she went back. i felt back. went home and kept calling and calling. >> you've got the husband of the maid, who, you know, his wife didn't show up the night before. so he went to the house. knocking on the door, and then goes around back and there's the maid in the lower portion of the
4:07 am
picture, and suddenly the phone rings, and it is the ceo. it's savvas savopoulos pictured, upper left. he calls the husband and maid. knows he's outside, and said, you know what? she's with my wife and they're not here and then he left. it's just extraordinary. once again, the reason they were able to close this case so quickly was because they found that guy's dna on a piece of pizza. and the fbi, or whoever went into the house, realized, hey, why is there a pizza crust right there? had they not done the dna swab on the guy that had 39 brushes with the law, they would not have cracked the case. makes people wonder, why don't they take dna from everybody? if somebody's going to be arrested, they take their fingerprints anyway, why not take their digital dna? >> easier than ever before, just a cheek swab. >> heather has other breaking news normally would have led our show. here you go. >> other things to tell you

4:09 am
>> reporter: the union is providing them with support. >> dramatic scenes right behind you ashland. we will -- stay with that for just a moment. >> okay. and she didn't even really flinch. that's channel 9's ashland quickly becoming a part of the story. the man tried to shout at the camera now charged with causing a public nuisance and apparently her report was on something entirely different are and saw that going on behind her. did you ever feel like your husband, elisabeth, heather, gals, isn't listening. >> what? >> gary -- >> yeah? oh, come on. really? >> three lemons. >> what my baby wants, my baby gets. you know that? >> but i wanted 12. baby wanted 12. >> well, a brand new study finds that the best time for a serious talk with your spouse is at 8:15 at night right when he starts eating your dinner.

4:11 am
is there something about the left, and i'm going to put the media in this category, that's obsessed with sex? why is it that the only question you want to ask concerns homosexuals? the constitution gives marriage to elected state ledge slach eers. it doesn't give the power to a president or unelected judges to tear down the decisions enacted by democratically elected state legislatures. >> touche. great answer, and great point. i will give this to ted cruz and every other republican running for president. at least they're answering questions. i mean, hillary clinton answered what? three or four questions over three or four minutes. >> five minutes. >> that's it? come on. >> 40,000 minutes of waiting for breaking the hillary hush. >> use your head. every question to jeb bush, about iraq and his brother, can you open up what other things a candidate brings to the table? >> the whole idea from the political left, take people out. just like they took out chris
4:12 am
christie for a very long time. >> he had had yesterday, you have a problem with me and some controversy with me, what about hillary clinton? what about going after her that way? great point. 11 minutes after the hour. it is sometime to talk about this. isis has taken over another city, but president obama says that what happened in ramadi was just a tactical setback. how does that make our soldiers who fought the war on terror actually feel? the brother of american sniper chris kyle is here next to talk to brian. then, imagine coming in for a landing and seeing this. a plane on fire. a terrifying sight, but this trouble on the tarmac, not all it seems to be. >> can we land someplace else?
4:13 am
4:14 am
4:16 am
here we go. 1,300 americans died, more than that i should say, in anbar province after the 2003 invasion of iraq. now isis has taken over the region after it was settled down in 2011. they call it a setback in the white house, but jeff kyle, brother of american sniper chris kyle, vet trieran himself, says
4:17 am
more like a slap in the face. he joins us alongside u.s. retired general, and an important mission to talk about. good news for those who served, but first things first. jeff, if i could bring it to you what are your thoughts as you see ramadi occupied by isis, fallujah occupied by isis and mosul occupied by isis for just about a year now? >> you know, like you stated before what i had said, you know, it's a slap in the face to all of us. me personally, i was never in ramadi. so, you know, i don't have any hard feelings there, but -- i lost a lot of good brothers. >> your brother was. >> right, right. i lost a lot of good brothers that were there, you know, taking that city, and, you know, it's kind of -- it's hard to watch. you know? it's a slap in the face to us, but, you know, on the other hand, we're not surprised. >> major general, the president in a long interview with the "atlantic" magazine says basically, i learned what happened in iraq. a big mistake.
4:18 am
i'm not going to do that again. what's your reaction to that? >> well, my reaction is, a sincere disappointment, is that on the eve of recognizing, on memorial day, the individuals in this country that have made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives to preserve the rights and liberties, not only of the people of the united states, but peoples of the rest of the world, that it's almost to the point of a kind of fl flippant foreign policy, where there's no commitment to commits o our soldiers in places of hostility. my point is the clear. before you make the commitment of the first service member you need a solid foreign policy on what you will do and won't do. it looks and appears right now we don't have a working foreign policy in that particular area.
4:19 am
>> right. >> and so it's very disappoi disappointing for me we gave that up and i'm trying very hard to keep the sacrifice of those service members at heart for what they did. >> absolutely. and you saw among many others, the general in front of armed services yesterday saying, the white house, non-political nature. this is not working. you have to believe what you want. if you believe isis is a threat, do something, if not, then pull out. the guardians for heroes foundation, what have you put together to help raise money for this foundation, jeff? >> we've got numerous things, but right now we have been given an opportunity to raise money with a autographed script from "american sniper," clint eastwood autographed it, bradley
4:20 am
cooper autographed it, and we're going to auction that off and try to raise money for the vets. just earlier this month we had the chris kyle memorial benefit and were able to raise money for guardian for heroes foundation. we raised, you know, $400,000, which was amazing for us. >> wow. >> xso just one more thing we cn do to try to reach out and help our brothers and sisters. >> where do we find out about the guardians for heroes foundation, and to bid on this? >> the charity's auction is actually on charity buzz. >> okay. gotcha. we'll follow that. hey, jeff, always great to see you. thanks for your service. jeff kyle, as well as major general john furlough, thank you. >> thank you very much. ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. high school student wanted to start a pro-life club on campus, denied. why? people who don't share that same view might feel, well, left out. and move that trailer!

a fox news alert now. the manhunt for the suspect in the brutal torture and murder of a family in washington, d.c. is now over. daron dylon wint was taken into custody overnight in d.c. after he was believed to have fled to new york. police say he worked for the father's company and according to the united states marshal, they are not tracking accomplices at this time. what does that mean to the investigation moving forward? we'll ask former las vegas policeman randy sutton who joins us now. thank you for being with us, sir. >> thank you. >> when you hear that the u.s. martial saying they'-- marshal g they're not tracking any of his accomplices at this time what does that say to you? >> several things.
4:46 am
one of the most important, when he was taken into custody several others were taken into custody with him. if they're not tracking anybody that could be a signal saying, we already have them in custody. so i don't believe that this horrific crime was committed by one person. i believe that there was probably at least one accomplice, and who is most likely to have been one of those accomplices is one of the people arrested with him. >> okay. so now let's go back to the home and the evidence. what will they look for moving forward? we understand the pizza crust was key in actually finding wint in the first place and linking him with the dna technology. what will they go back and look for now? >> well, this was tremendous police work. i have to say, to have developed that strong a lead early on in this investigation was tremendous police work, and the fact he was taken into custody this quickly is excellent. but the investigation is really and is still in its initial stages.
4:47 am
they're going to have to do an investigation, interrogation of the suspect. they're going to have to trace all of the forensic evidence of which there is going to be a multitude of forensic evidence discovered in that home and then they're going to have to try and develop the motive and whoever was with him either at the scene or before the scene when there was without a doubt surveillance and other aspects to this. >> let me ask you this -- considering how gruesome these murders were and the level of destruction that went on there in that home, do you believe that this was just a burglary gone bad, or do you believe that there was a personal connection and that this was plotted and planned? >> that's a great question, and i -- with the savagery of this case, with the depravity of the criminal activity here, you know, i believe there was something much more motivating to this individual than money.
4:48 am
>> what indicates that to you? >> well, the savagery. this was a very personal crime, beating someone to death, keep this in mind. the human body can take a lot of punishment. in order to beat someone to death, there's a very personal motivation here, and you know, behind this sensational headline, remember that these are human beings. these are people that we need to give the victim -- we need to give the victim the time here and honor them, and because they're real human beings here. it was amy, and it was savvas and a little boy named philip and veer lease veralicia.

4:54 am
republican contender for president moop who is it? >> it's marco rubio. >> why is that. >> because like you said earlier, i've met so many politicians, and, you know, they'll get in front of a lot of people and talk a lot. the second you go one-on-one, have lunch with them or something like that, everything is always the party, the party, the party, both sides. democrats and republicans, and i had met him before, and it just turned out we were there at the same time, i went and had lunch with him. the entire time all he wanted to do, talk about people and never mentioned the party wurnonce. which was a really big deal to me. you've seen my show. negotiating with people all the time. this guy honestly cares about american people, and, you know, free enterprise, and, you know, you see my show, i'm a history nut, and if you look back, the number one thing that has always brought people out of poverty, no matter where they're at in the world is the ease of doing
4:55 am
business. and this guy wants to make it easier to do business. it will bring people out of poverty, and do things for the economy. so i'm behind him. >> you are. and, in fact, you're going to throw a birthday fund-raiser for him out there may 28th. i did not realize until you and i were just chatting during the commercial break, marco rubio has a connection to las vegas. >> yes. he was, for a few years, lived here as a kid. his dad a bar tender at a bowling alley here in town and his mom a maid at one of the hotels. >> that's something. what as the criticism? there have been a number of people, so-called experts on this stuff that sigh, we don't need a first-term u.s. senator. we need somebody like a governor who's run something. what do you say to them regarding marco? >> you need a good leader. okay? it's -- you don't -- you don't necessarily need, you know, a governor is a politician, a senator is a politician. what you need is a very strong leader. someone that's willing to speak
4:56 am
his mind and put the right people in charge of things and if they do a bad job, fire them. and you know, you also need to go out there and say what you really mean instead of just beat around the bush like a lot of other politicians. i mean, look at marco. he goes out there, strongly endorses israel. he talks about the middle east. there's just so many things i like about him. that the other politicians don't. >> well, the great that you should decide to get up early on this friday to join us to tell us about this, and for you to throw your weight behind a political candidate to begin with, rick. >> well, yeah. you know, i mean, i'm a celebrity and i do endorsements and things like that. when you endorse a republican, usually it's suicide, but -- but i really care about people, and -- it's just the way the history of this country works. i mean, if you make -- that's why this country is great. it's easy for everyone to do business and it's getting harder

5:03 am
with the fox news alert. right, steve. the massive manhunt for the suspect in the gruesome d.c. mansion murders comes to an end. daron wint arrested overnight accused of toff cherring and stabbing the savopoulos family and their family before setting their house on fire. tracked down at a hotel parking lot in maryland where he took off in a car following a box truck. >> we continue to follow him, called pg county police, they sent up a helicopter and we got to a situation where we could successfully take him down, and we did our standard practice vehicle pin maneuver and were able to safely pin both vehicles, and place him under arrest. >> while police say several others were taken into custody and a large amount of cash found in the truck, but this morning the u.s. marshal commander saying they are not tracking any other accomplices right now. >> we're also learning that 34-year-old wint worked as a welder for the savopoulos
5:04 am
family's company, american iron works in 2003. so he knew the family, and in 2010, was arrested outside the company's headquarters for carrying a machete two-feet long and a bb gun. the little boy murdered. joining us, geraldo rivera. the flus yesterday, looking for this guy, thought he was coming to new york city. able to track him through dna left on a pizza crust. apparently at his girlfriend's ho us in brooklyn. they came that close to grabbing him him. >> the detectives confirmed yelled to new york 1 and others he was here in town. they had been tracking him by his cell phone. not like the sharpest tack on the criminal board there. i think that the way i see the way think crime happened, he knew that this guy, the victim had cash. >> was rich. >> he went there on some what subterfuge, got into the house. and i think that it happened almost organically. it's entirely possible it
5:05 am
happened by limbs. he managed to subdue the man and woman. tortured the 10-year-old to get the parents to get the cash, the 40 grand, delivered to the house. the poor housekeeper there, once he started committing his horrible crime, he had to kill everybody involved, an act of say theism i satism involved. how they get him to south brooklyn, know he's here, the cell phone. goes right to family and friends. he does obvious things, and then knowing he is the perp, he flees. again they track him using a cell phone. >> not painting a scenario where his brother's helping? >> it's entirely possible these are accessories after the fact. i've got 40 grand. come on. come with me, i'll give you a 10, a 5. you get the rental stuff, meet me. we'll move stuff. >> is that what rings in your mind? because they're not looking for, pursuing accomplices at this time from the united states
5:06 am
marshal's office right now. is that why you believe this? >> i absolutely believe at this point, elisabeth, unless there's something i don't know, seems to me that they nabbed him. >> the way they were able to crack the case. one of the investigators down at the burned out mansion saw, despite that the house was totaled inside, saw a pizza crust in a pizza box from dominoes and figured out that it had been delivered apparently, money left outside with a note, i'm gone. here's the money. leave the pizza here. then got his dna off of it. isn't this a good example of how dna really works? and every time somebody is arrested in this country, in addition to taking a fingerprint and thumb. print, we should take their dna as well? >> first of all, the checking of the dna on the pizza was a brilliant police move. i thought that that's where you really saw excellent detective work. they are -- why don't we check the pizza for dna. brilliant. the supreme court in a closely
5:07 am
argued 5-4 decision two years ago, almost exactly two years ago, ruled that if you're charged with a serious crime, then we can take your dna. it does not violate the fourth amendment search and seizure provision. you know, we can take dna of -- not convicted but accused of a serious crime. >> if you're arrested. >> so he was obviously accused of several serious crimes and convicted of at le two. so they had the right. they had him in the dna bank. they matched it. they had him and the rest is history. >> talk about this crime. the reason why i'm so -- i think people are fascinated with it. if you're in that section of washington, already taking security cautions. a person of wealth. knows you'll perhaps be a target, but in your own home, tortured in that way and the fact is the guy might have been able to pull it off a longer period of time if he wasn't stupid enough to order a pizza and try to burn the house down. >> and steal the porsche. >> the key is letting him in the house. once in the house he's obviously
5:08 am
physically much stronger, can easily overpower, even without a weapon, or if he was guy allegedly had a two-foot long machete some years earlier. this is obviously a strapping, you know, he was honorably discharged from the sfervice. was in good shape, had selfies of himself. once you let someone in your house that is absolutely, that is the worst thing you can possibly do. if you have someone come to your house, on unusual circumstances like that, you don't let them in the house, and then if a boss calls a secretary and says bring me a bag of $40,000. doesn't that remind you of the pettitte family in connecticut and the guy forced the mother to go to the bank to make withdrawal. very unusual cash withdrawal? these are all red flags. people should have seen these red flags. the fact that he got so far down the line is, i think, an indication how intim daidated td
5:09 am
dad was by the ominous threats. >> how could that not happen to me? >> you let someone in you know, even -- >> from work. >> what's he doing here? what's he doing here? you step outside the front door, the dad does, if you're going to deal with that. it's a business call. not there on a personal call. >> you look at the gruesome nature of this killing, some people would say this indicates rage, but possibly some sort of relationship between the two, and be that the work relationship, or had a close proximity, what does it indicate to you? >> i disagree with that assessment. i think they seized on the 10-year-old as the weak link. how do you get the parents to give you the money, get you cash? they have cash accessible. how do you get it? i'll take the 10-year-old. now everybody is bound. take the 10-year-old, he starts burning him with cigarettes. starts cutting him up. the kid is crying, daddy, daddy, please. what does daddy do? the daddy now is going to be an absolute player, he's going to
5:10 am
play along with everything the perp wants, make up these phony -- all right, bring me -- i need it for the iron work my martial arts, i need the cash. i understand it's unusual. you go to the bank, get the cash, bring me the cash and all the time that everyone is incapacitated, and they love the child, my god. we're all parents. what? tortures my child? it's that the way i see this unfolding. i see a single perp easily overpow erg the couple. torturing the 10-year-old. the maid is a target of opportunity. and with these bizarre texts, don't come in the house, or don't come to work today. this is all that guy, standing over their shoulder. you tell them this, tell them that, or, you know -- i think it's awful. >> it is awful. geraldo, i think they have the perp. >> i hope you're right. >> thank you, sir. turning to heather now. it's a busy morning here. more to tell viewers at home. >> i know. a lot of news going on this morning. this one to you, while you were sleeping, there was a joint terror task force that it took
