be targeted in the near term and u.s. investigators are becoming overwhelmed trying to keep up with the social media barrage of the u.s. supporters of the islamic state. making it harder to know who would be launching an attack. and there are generic warnings in the past but there are precautions and list of suspicious activity is insider threats and warns about individuals asking unusual questions about building maintenance and security procedures. the bulletin said there are no threats at this time. but it is a boilerplate term that is losing its meaning. jay johnson spoke in february and he said there is no credible specific information, but he added given how the threats are now evolving that is a less and

less relevant statement. what makes the bulletin stand out. it reenforces the military and government employees should actively review social media accounts to allow them to be targeted in their home. >> scary stuff. >> and some wrote off his presidential campaign. but some say it is time to take bernie sander's bid to the white house seriously. what would be the impact of that and our political panel weighs in. and break in the disappearance of an exchange student 30 years ago. and there is also this. scary moments there. a bounce house goes air-borne,

the headline said bern sanders is a totally lejet mate candidate and time for the press to treat him like one. molly is editor and to you, first molly. do you agree with the premise that it media is not treating sanders like a contender. >> absolutely. the media love to decry and then a moment with a candidate in the race they pick and choose. this is unfair and also that the media are bad judges of who the good candidates to cover. it would be better if we let the voters decide. >> new york times, but -- buried

his. and gave him way less than republican candidates. why is he deminnished as a possible president. >> i don't think most people when they give serious consideration to candidates think that a socialist will be elect elect president of the united states. and you have to talk about poll numbers and he has okay poll numbers in vermont. but outside of vermont where he is 18 percent in the polls, he has single digits among the democrats. you have unlike the republican side where there is no really one candidate, on the democratic side there is and that is hillary clinton. and in comparison to her, it looks like a very long shot. i don't think the people should treat him as a kook.

he's been on fox news sunday and o'rielly and most of the major network shows. but from a hard ballpoint of view it looks like a very long shot. >> hillary clinton is a household name. and donald trump is also a household name. does that mean all of the republicans should give up and give the nomination to donald trump? >> exactly. bernie sanders bring things to the race that are important. i joked that hillary clinton may have put him up for running. he makes her seem younger. but he hit her in places that she is vulnerable. he talked about how she hustles for money and something that people on the right are familiar with. and they are getting into and only candidate that is bringing

the issues up. >> he talks about money in the clip. and i will play this for the viewers and get your reaction juan. >> when you hustle money like. that you sit and respond. and that's the world that you are accustomed to. i will not condemn hillary clinton and bill clinton because they it made a lot of money. that isolates you from the reality of the world. >> that is interesting, juan. hillary clinton is talking about the campaign for every day americans and it turns out she and her husband racked in 133 million over the last decade. >> hillary clinton has weak points and bernie saners is a sparring partner and she will need someone on the democratic side to push her in terms of the weak points so she is prepared.

in those terms. bernie sanders may be specific. and but there is martin o'mallery or jim webb having the mainstream attraction. but their numbers are not much better than sanders. but it is the sparring element that you are pecking up and discussion of issues that are interest in the democratic bias. that's where sanders can play an important role. >> we'll continue to watch. >> do you think that senator sanders is a serious candidate and is he ignored bee the democrats and media. go to fox news opinion com/"happening now". >> and a man accused of trying to hire a hit man to killing his

and the attorney said. >> that was the last straw. and he has a compulsion to get rid of the problem and that is his wife and hires a first hit man of several. if i am a defense lawyer what else do i have? he hired one guy and that department go well. and goes to prison and tries to hire another person to kill the state trooper that saw him. and what do i have except ocd. >> you think it is a roach? >> the cases that i have found are not successful. it is something to mitigate in sentencing. >> ocd a defense. >> it is a series of incidents here. >> he tried to hire a hit on his wife and then a state trooper that arrested him and a witness that has stalking allegations and they are saying that the trigger is the change in his life when his wife had an order

of protection served against him. and the legal merits are the same as if he had her killed and she was killed and dead we wont think that we could get away from it with ocd. >> and it is being they didn't try for the insanity defense. at the time he was so battled he didn't know right from wrong. it doesn't look like insanity defense. >> and problem be is you have to show that you don't understand the consequences and here he wrote out notes of how to find the witnesses so they could be killed and it is hard to say. >> and that goes to obsessive compulsive and all of the i's dotted and it doesn't undermind the crime or defect defense. and i don't know. >> i think a lawyer could argue that there is a defect if he is trying to write the notes and

last week iraqi security forces leaving and this week ash carter said the iraqis don't have the will to fight and now the iraqis are reengaging in ramadi? >> what is going on. >> you see the administration trying to play catch up now that the narrative and strategy was working and now they are backing away from that and see new urgency to deal with the situation in ramadi. but the problem is if you look at battle space that exist in ramadi, the iraqi military lack of theability and confidence to carry out operations that they need to. there will be heavy reli apt on shiite militia and a a h. power drilling sunni citizens. >> glad you mentioned that. we say time and time for hours and hours on the news iraqi

forces are going back to ramadi that's not accurate. what we are saying iranian back militias are going back. they are using a battle cry that could anger the sunnis that helpedinous ramadi. and they are using a battle cry that was used to as a part of the schism between sunnis and shiits. they are aggravating the sunnis again. they are talking about the martyr and someone incredibly important and he is martyr as he was killed and murdered by sunnis and they are using that

as a narrative for taking back ramadi. and any sunni in ramadi think we have a problem here they are looking for revenge. and the guy has been talking to a lot. and he's following the social media accounts. and that's what is happening. and some people say we need to rely on iran because our interest align. iran has no interest in cooling of tension and allows moderate parties to deal with the situation. iran wants to dominate and isis wants to dominate and they are together. and we are floating around saying that our strategy works and no one in the region believes it >> what would be our move? months ago, if you go back to january you saw major tribes in

anbar talking about the need for more support in terms of arms. they come from a different brand of islam. and fought with the marine corps to defeat al-qaeda in iraq previously and we refused to do that because president obama was worried it would upset iran. we need to do that quickly. and special forces directing air strikes. and new york times explained why you need that can pasty of people on the ground. and we need to have the courage of resolution to be able to restrain the shiite militia and tell the iraqi government we'll support and if you rely on them your country will collapsed. and the narrative that they are bringing in is one that the people of ramadi will understand

and makes it far more likely to graveitate in the hands of isis faced with the choice. >> that's what they are faced. these are healthy families that are living in the area and don't have one side or the other. shiit militia coming from baghdad and sunni terrorist. and they are sunni. and at a certain point they will have to choose for the safety of their families. and this article over the weekend talk about with holding back with the air strikes and a fear of casulties. and they are densely populared and it was a populared series as well. and they are arguing if we don't take the risk more people are going to die at the hands of the terrorist? what are you hearing as far as the additional air strikes being used? >> i just don't think the

administration really has the basic level of understanding of military strategy or a desire to hear about it. they are advertising the fact they are not launching air strikes and isil and shiite militia see it. and this is all about a extensional structure and unless you puncture isil and breakaway that narrative of ordained protection. and america can't destroy us because dpod is on our side. and this is not a 7th century battle of ka bull. and it will happen. and many more civilians will die and the majority are innocent muslims and not westerners and this is a struggle. and i think you need to so over the spectrum of government and realization that the war is

bruttial. and easy to say sitting here. and we know what is happening. >> we certainly do. and we are broadcasting that we will not use more air strikes and the iranians are saying the americans are not interested. and playing in to propaganda on all sides. thank you very much. new information about major food companies changing up their ingredients taco bell and pizza hut getting rid of artificial colors and flavors and then gmo- free baby formula. and we have lauren with with us. >> it is all about eating healthy. taco bell and pizza hut will get rid of the flavor. it would be waped for black pepper. and ho row move high frukts on
