this country that's fueling murder and death in our big cities? >> rand paul is exactly correct. last month after the baltimore riots broke out time magazine had a cover photo of a riot and the year 1968 was scratched out and the year 2015 inserted. and the message was clear. after auto years and hundreds of billions of dollars of government programs. we nor closer to solving the racial problems and lawlessness problems than we were 50 years ago. and we are not going to solve those problems with more government mandates and spending. look, whether you you are talking about racism or lawlessness, both are problems of the human heart. they are spiritual problems that demand a spiritual solution. you're not going to change people's behavior in the long run until you change their hearts. >> heart and soul. how do we change behavior in the united states?

do we say that we're going to go into the public schools and teach the good book or are we going to impose some old spirit of morality that we used to see in the public schools? what's it going to be, pastor? >> look, for the first 150 years of our nation's history, we had a solid judeo-christian foundation for our morality. and it was a foundation that just wasn't taught in the homes or in the churches. it was taught in the schools. for example, most people don't know that for 100 years the most popular textbook in schools in america was the new england primmer that had morality lessons built on the bible. every 3rd grader had to learn acaustic. a makes his father glad. >> b better fear of the lord than treasure and trouble. we have allowed secularists to erase our spiritual foundation to try to teach reality without spicialghts and it just doesn't work.

the french thinker toteville has said 200 years ago there has never been a country in the world where christianity retain as greater influencen the lives of people than in america. and i believe it's a return to that christian influence that is really going to be the cure for what is troubling america today. >> and a final question, pastor. you say it's really about right and wrong. how do we on a daily basis teach folks right from wrong, whether they are part of the jew doe achristian ethic or or not? >> here is the problem trying to teach right from wrong afrart spirituality. if you you say it's wrong to kill a policeman it's wrong to rob a convenience store. somebody will say well who says it's wrong? that's your opinion. that's why we need a higher standard a higher lawyer law that gives us a foundation to choose what is

right. >> dr. jeffress saying there are many things that's not up for debate and that's right and wrong. have +7jlrbs:å1ér9 as the race for 2016 heats up, carly fiorina comes out swinging hard. >> mrs. clinton's office and president obama's office do not meet their metrics for equal pay for equal work. >> well, will bold talk like that help her stand out from the crowd in gop field? a fair and balanced debate coming up next. and a police officer driving down the road when this lightning bolt nearly hits the car. the terrifying close call caught on camera. wow. ♪

the the 2016 presidential field getting more crowded by the day. three candidates jumping into the race this week. one democrat making it official today and two republicans expected to make nowments later this week. kristen fisher joins us live from washington, d.c. with the very latest on this, good morning kristen. >> good morning. we are just hours away from former maryland governor martin o'malley officially entering the presidential race. to say he is an underdog would be a massive understatement. the democrats' primary competitor is hillary clinton. but yesterday he released a video showing he is tuning up to run ♪ ♪

>> stay tuned for today's big aannouncement. expect present him as the younger more progressive alternative to hillary clinton who he endorsed back in 2007. 8 years later he is taking her head on the question will be how hard will he hit the former secretary of state in the primary battle along with the only other official candidate bernie sanders. the field on the republican side is almost triple that amount and that number will continue to grow this week south carolina senator wind did i graham will announce his plans on monday and former texas governor rick perry on thursday but today it's martin o'malley's turn. this weekend he will campaign in iowa and new hampshire. but, first he will have to get through his announcement in baltimore. some activists are planning to protest it arking his tough on crime policies for governor are partly responsible for last month's riots. back to you tucker and peter. >> thank you so much. thank you so much. >> you got it.

really provides a fresh perspective on women's issues. she is the one who can go after hillary. a lot of people are viewing her as sort of the anti-hillary person, candidate. also to that point, you know when you have governor walker talking about abortion and ultrasounds are cool, it doesn't play as well. when you have a woman talking about women's issues, it's a lot easier and quite frankly carly fiorina is a effective communicator. and she has been able to really go after hillary clinton very hard steve the election is going to be about a lot more than women's issues. carly fiorina interviewed with msnbc this week. and criticized record of hillary clinton's record with -- >> this is a game been played for a long time. she tried to play it in her race with barbara boxer.

it didn't work there she tried to claim she was discriminated against in hp. the reality of her record there is that she engineered a disastrous merger with hp and compact. she saddled them with a product line low profitability. she claimed she was discriminated against that it's a terrible thing for that company. >> i asked you about was she effective in slamming hillary clinton's record as secretary of state? was she effective or not? >> that blurs into the sort of background noise of like 15 republican candidates for president doing the same thing. i don't think that makes her an effective candidate. i think that anybody can pay a comedian a couple hundred dollars to come up with one liners about their competition. the problem is she has no solutions for the country and her missives on gender equality doesn't make a whole will the of sense when she is not advocating for women having the right to choose. >> take a look how carly

fiorina stacks up against the g.o.p. candidates. of the field is pretty packed. she has 2% in latest quinnipiac survey if the republican primary were held today 2% giving her the vote trailing behind the heavy hitters like jeb bush, mike huckabee marco rubio, of course rand paul being another heavy hitter. what do you think about this? >> for her, the key is going to get to that debate starting with the fox news debate. one of the things about carlie is that she is really surprising a lot of these grass roots activists. she is making a splash in iowa. she is getting very big crowds in these early states such as new hampshire and south carolina. in new hampshire you had the union leader newspaper come out and say she should debate. she met with the board and they are all very impressed. she is an incredibly effective not only communicator but really as well really talking about how you can change the government. in fact, she is not afraid of the press. she is able to go toe and toe against liberal reporters and really does

not have a problem answering press questions unlike hillary clinton. >> mercedes, thank you so much. steve, i will let you get in the last word next time. sorry we are up against a harvard break. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the murder mystery that captivated the nation. key witness keeps changing their story. and protests turn out peaceful over the prophet muhammad. that didn't stop one major network commentator from comparing anti-protesters to terrorists? ♪ ♪

the country about the reasonableness of conducting such a contest whether in fact, it is a proper exercise of the first amendment or not. >> of course you have the right to do it but should you do it? that. >> of course is a question. >> but, of course, not surprisingly all kinds of dumbness came out about this including this from marc lamont hill a commentator other at cnn so a group of people are going to stand outside a mosque toting guns and wearing t-shirts that say f islam. how is this not terrorism? this is the problem on the left conflating expreparations of free speech constitutionally. the dividing line is really clear. stating your opinion even though it is unattractive and unpopular is not the same as physically hurting someone. the first is protected by the constitution the second isn't. >> it doesn't make sense. not a wise exercise of judgment. we don't particularly need such a contest here in the united states.

it made debase it in certain ways. but you to say in order to participate in such a contest, you are also a terrorist. >> that's what they do? is absolutely, that is so wrong that it is beyond. >> a poll of democrats that showed the majority of them wanted to ban quote hate speech in other words words they disagree with or find unattractive it. this is not a group committed to the first amendment. a lot on the left do not protect, stand by the first amendment at all. >> i heard from kilmeade on this quickly yesterday that letting an event like this happen could increase possible online chatter from isis or isis sympathizers lone wolf style attacks and there could be some sort of sting operation so you could apprehend those before. >> i suggested that there be a lone wolf operation against one of the organizers of that condition test yeah. >> we do have other stories making headlines that we need to get to. a new twist in the murder case. personal assistant now accused of changing his

better than warfarin ...i will. eliquis. eliquis... reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke... plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor... if eliquis is right for you. they say after seeing a magician make his assistant disappear mr. clean came up with a product

first amendment some say? here to weigh in is the director of the freedom offense initiative. >> nice to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me. the conservative republican, sensible divivment issued a statement yesterday saying i believe in free speech, of course i also believe in common sense and good judgment. the indication is this wasn't good judgment having this rally. >> making a statement like that is not good judgment. honestly if there was a protest outside of this mosque it should have been demanding an investigation of the mosque. here you had he willton simpson who had attended the mosque for 10 years whose very good friend said he would never waiver from the teachings of the mosque. went to the mosque to look for a wife and in order to show respect cited the koran and verbatim. they lied. >> that's a smart point. that's a different thing. that's a protest with a specific purpose what riled this up it seemed to exist

only to generate. >> why is it when is someone stands for free speech they become the targets of these attacks. the mosque? why aren't we demanding an investigation? they said they didn't raise money for his legal defense. they posted $100,000 bail? why is it about people standing for free speech? look the people that did this protest, i don't know who they are but what they are saying is we will not submit. we will not be cowed. i agree with that it is free speech. >> of course it's free speech. >> i don't even think reasonable people would disagree with that yet, i didn't think that a recent survey showed that the majority of democrats asked in this poll said they thought speech they disagreed with ought to be banned. ought to be illegal. does that surprise you? >> no, it's it the party of treason. all i'm saying is that there is nothing wrong with people going and voicing making their voices heard. they didn't go to commit violence. >> right. >> the people yesterday didn't go to commit

violence. they went to stand for free speech. so the governor, conservative or not is wrong on this. >> you have noticed a conflation in the public conversation between people expressing unpopular views and committing violence? so people come out and say something that the left doesn't like and all of a sudden that's treated as an act of violence? >> yes. exactly. this is a criminalization and the marginalization of those that speak freely against whatever it is the left decides is, you know, the doctrine. and the doctrine now is you cannot insult islam. they are imposing sharia. look is there anything that you think ought to qualify as hate speech and be banned? holocaust denial, for example? should that be allowed? >> i believe that the antidote to bad speech is more speech. >> amen. >> and so no. i know that my ideas are better. the americanism is founded on individual rights and freedom of speech. this is the idea of the day.

after today, take a look at what happened, finally our first really dry stretch that we have seen in over a month. watch temperatures climb and be out of a rain threat at least for about the next week. that is outstanding news for them right there. we are looking warm and muggy towards the east. more storms move in tomorrow across the eastern seaboard. things improving across texas after today which is what we need. >> good news. >> thanks a lot rick. >> bring you update to mohammed cartoon contest we have been telling you about. did take place in phoenix there was no violence. there were, however clashes, verbal ones between the protesters and the counter protesters who call themselves peace protesters. meanwhile isis has weighed in and threatened the organizer of the event with death. >> yeah, there were about 250 people who were taking part the organizer the cartoon contest had brought together they were carrying guns and american flags and of course, drawings of

prophet mohammed. there were about 500 protesters that came. peaceful protesters. >> earlier tucker interviewed pamela geller and you know pamela geller was involved with the earlier draw mohammed contest down in texas where there was an attack. she had some interesting things to say. watch. >> why is it when someone stands for free speech they become the target of these attacks? why aren't we talking about the mosque? why aren't we demanding investigation? they said they didn't raise money for his legal defense. >> right. >> they posted $100,000 bail. why is it about people standing for free speech. i don't know who did this protest. what they're say something we will not submit. we will not be cowed. i believe that the antidote to bad speech is more speech. >> well, the organizer of this draw mohammed contest said. this i am the threat because i showed up with a gun here? no, they are the group with

the bad track record. i'm just trying to protect myself. critics of him though would say look, you are just shaking the wasp nest? why are you doing this you? are just trying to be a jerk and being hateful. what you are just looking at there was a tweet that came from abuhassain 91 11. helped to grooment texas tragedy that happened. saying this what's your little handgun going to do against an ied that sprays 3,000 ball bearings faster than the speed of sound? #phoenix #az. >> i don't think you should intentionally hassle people or stick your finger in their eye but the constitution means what it says you have a right to express your views even if people don't like them. listening to pam lal geller reminded me of the liberals of my childhood. you never hear that anymore. only conservatives reminding the public we have a first amendment and guarantees

your right to say what is true. >> i have a problem on both sides. it's a very difficult nuanced issue. one of the problems that i have is that the first amendment preckets religion in this country and i hearken back to the 30's in this country when justs were persecuted in this country by certain american groups. they were subject to caricature it. they were subject to discrimination. they were subject to marches. and so when we demonize an entire religion, when we say we are going to draw a picture of the icon of that religion you create issues in this country should is you be creating? are we a better people than that? bously we should be fighting islamo fascism and islamo extremism and killing people that are trying to kill us. but at the same time do we fault to it a level equal to those islamo fascists when

we succumb to this notion that we should be drawing pictures of mohammed. >> you don't. >> making fun of religious icon. i don't want someone to make fun of jesus. >> i get exactly what you are saying. don't falling to the level and here is why. there is a distinction. the distinction, the only one that matters is between expressing your views and committing violence. that's what we don't by and large do in this country. maybe a bad idea to mock other people's religion and be cruel to them. i get all of that very different than killing them. >> this organizer believes that islam is a violent religion and that just continues to push the narrative that americans don't know the difference between radical islam and peaceful islam and there is a very, very big difference. only positive i really see out of all of this maybe it will be a call to action for muslims to come forward peaceful muslims to denounce radical islam even more. >> it's been a while. >> it has been a while. we need to hear from them. >> there is judy jasser and not so many others. u.s. army is the subject of complaints this morning because of this.

a u.s. army soldier a member of the louisiana national guard was killed in a helicopter crash with 10 others off the coast of florida. he served honorably in the national guard for a number of years. comes from a military family. being denied burial in the arlington national cemetery because he was not on active duty when he left. >> exception could be made by who? >> exception made by the department of the army or othe president of the united states the commander and chief. let's see what cynthia smith had to say in response to the that fox news posed? staff sergeant thomas is eligible to receive honors in inunrineurnment he does not meet the requirements for burial in arlington national cemetery. creamate.

he can't actually be buried. so we interviewed stephan, a retired major in the green berets he is the father, and he kind of finds in incredible that he was being told and his family with is being told how they should be burying their son. >> he believed in what he was cooking. in a conversation at one time with his stepmother, she asked why are you going into the service? and my son turned around and said: if not me, then who? the desire of our extended family is to have our son who died serving his country interred at arlington for the purpose of, in the future when her daughter's at school and they ask: where is your father? she should be able to say in arlington. the fact that others are interred there makes my son

no less a man because he was in the national guard. >> yeah, when his wife said goodbye to him, she had no idea she was going to become a widow and a sings gel mother. >> pretty sad. thomas emails. this these are people that gave heir lives to protect us. denying him arlington national cemetery like a judge telling them presence forced a settlement with the prosecutor. >> if every active duty soldier were eligible for arlington they would need much more land and the distinction of being buried there would be lost it would just be another national cemetery most not the most prestigious cemetery. >> let us know what you think. crime in baltimore surging after the death of freddie gray. one day after mother and 7-year-old son are killed. next guest says there is only one thing that can be done to fix this. bishop e.w. jackson. >> she missed her flight but wasn't taking no for an

answer. watch this.

why is it that it seems as though you were more outraged by the death of freddie gray and outraged and angered and upset leading rallies over the death of 30 plus people that died from homicides this month. >> you can choose to be selective about my track record if you would like. there are a lot of reasons why that we -- that we're having a surge in violence.

>> that was the nonanswer from the mayor of baltimore when confronted by leland vittert of fox about the sorg murder rate. violence at its worst in decades. this is shaping up to be the deadliest ever in that city. a latest victims mother and 7-year-old son pictured there on the screen. why is this happening? what can be done about it? joining us now founder and president bishop e.w. jackson. great to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> what is going on in baltimore? >> well, frankly, they are talking about poverty and racism, but i think what you really have ask is a poverty of values in spirit and certainly poverty in librescu. probably 85% of the people in that community are trying to live their lives in a decent law abiding way. when you have leaders justifying lawlessness looting, violence, destruction of businesses property and murder, these are not thugs these are

just our young people. no no, these are people who need to be dealt with and we need to hold -- have a no tolerance policy towards this kind of lawless behavior. and until that happens, you are going to continue to see it. >> we have heard a lot pro-from progressives recently how black lives matter. these black lives don't seem to matter much to progressives to the so-called leaders of that community because they are not saying anything about these murders. why? >> well, tucker, because they have got a narrative. the narrative is don't look at our poor leadership. don't look at our incompetence. look at racism. ignore the 212 deaths of black people since the beginning of 2014 in baltimore, and just focus on the one or two police incidents where black people have lost their lives. i mean, it's a bait and switch. it is really, frankly it's wicked because what you do is you perpetuate the poverty and the despair in that community rather than giving people hope and a vision that can only come

from individual initiative and action to make a better life for yourself. >> what should the president say about this? >> >> well, you know, tucker. my first inclination is to say the president ought to shut up and stop talking about it he hasn't said anything productive. frankly, if he had taken the last six and a half years instead of spending his time at hollywood, $35,000 a plate bashes and golfing he had gone into these inner cities and talked to these kids about getting an education, about staying away from crime about making something of yourself about fulfilling the legacy, that black people ought to feel an obligation to because of all the hard work and the lives lost and the blood shed trying to set us free if you will, if he had done that i think we would be looking at a very different situation. he hasn't. it's going to be up to pastors in these communities to step up and provide the leadership. >> it would be nice to hear him mention marriage once in a while too. >> family, marriage, right exactly. i mean these are the things that build a community.

>> amen. bishop e.w. jackson joining us this morning. thanks a lot for that great to he so you. >> thank you tucker. >> coming up. she was acquitted in the death of her 2-year-old daughter. this morning we have learned casey anthony is ready to talk. about that may come with a price. we have got details. plus, are you getting fatter and fatter? many of us are. dr. samadi says can you blame your house for that white plate make you gain weight. scientific fact. stay tuned.

celebrities, including every living president and the pope wrote back. joining us now to share their amazing story richard and mary along with their granddaughter belinda banister. thanks for being with us, guys. what a story. >> thanks for having me. >> glad to be here. >> belinda you have to tell me how you pulled this off. you reached out to people and wrote a bunch of letters behand. how many in all did you write? >> approximately 250. >> what was the response like? what's the back story? what made you decide to do this? >> what made me decide were the initial grain of sand that started it was that my grandparents didn't have a wedding. they got married with a priest and two witnesses. and they were coming on their 70th anniversary and my wife and i thought we

have to do something really special. so we just started reaching out to people to sort of have a virtual party for them and we just started writing and started getting responses. >> especially with what the divorce rate is today and the way people value or devalue marriage, this is such an inspiring story. mary, did you have any idea your granddaughter was going to do this for you? >> no, i didn't. she said -- i was in the hospital a year ago and she came to see me and she just -- she says when i come home i'm going to give you a little get together. i thought just the family. and it surprised me. i'm surprised i'm here right now. >> and now you are on national television. international television. richard, how about you? how did you feel and what was your favorite? >> well, i was as surprised as anyone on our side of the family because everything was under wraps.

with belinda living in germany and negotiating all the arrangements through the internet unbeknownst to us, all these arrangements were being concluded n. secrecy you might say. >> yeah. it's a good effort for sure. which one was your favorite? >> my favorite is the one from the pope. i take it as being more meaningful although the other ones from the different people were all welcome. >> yeah. not very many people can say they had a letter from the pope. mary, how about you? which one is your favorite? >> the same thing the pope is my favorite and then second would be myobama and michelle. >> that's very nice. and i think we have images also from both president

hello. good morning. today is saturday the 30th of may, 2015. i'm anna kooiman. ready to run. former maryland governor martin o'malley set to make his 2016 announcement any moment. does he stand a chance against hillary clinton? our ed henry is live straight ahead. >> and another bombshell award. bill clinton accepting a lifetime achievement award. not until a super model paid

half a million dollars to his foundation. where did the money go? we don't know. we have details, though. plus is bigger always better? >> no, mark! why having lots and lots and lots of kids could help your marriage. mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> we're getting our hands dirty this morning, and the kids are getting their hands dirty. we're growing vegetables outside, and some pretty flowers as well. did you know the average family will spend $70 on a vegetable garden and it will grow $600 in vegetables? it will be a cost cutting measure as well. >> impressive.

tomatoes grow in midtown. smell the fresh soil. yeah. it's really an agrarian scene here. >> absolutely. >> good morning. >> well hillary clinton is about to get a new challenger. in less than an hour former maryland governor mark o'malley will announce he is running for president. this is a live look at baltimore where he's making the announcement. ed henry is here. ed, what can you tell us? >> good to see you, anna. martin o'malley is trying to do at historic federal hill is pitch himself as a younger, hip hipper more liberal alternative to hillary clinton. the problem is he's sort of undermined that space. flip-flopping on issues like same-sex marriage immigration, moving to the left herself. o'malley is currently behind in the wolpolls behind vice president

biden even though he's given no indication he's going to run. part of that is he has a mixed legacy. first as a young mayor of this city ofball more and then as the governor of maryland as well. there are protesters from the group called baltimore block. they plan to be here and march to city hall after the event. they are saying that it was martin o'malley's zero tolerance policing policies that led to the death of freddie grey. obviously o'malley has rejected that. he's trying to shake off that criticism. and what he also tried to do was put out a youtube video today teasing all of this by highlighting the fact that he while he was governor was part of an irish rock band called o'malley's march and trying to contrast himself with hillary clinton who had a highly produced video. look at him strumming the guitar to "hail to the chief."

>> stay townuned, he says at the end. he has a problem in martin o'malley is close to president clinton. actually endorsed hillary clinton in 2008. that's why various analysts are saying that is he really in this for the long haul or is he angling for a cabinet post in a clinton administration. others are saying after the baltimore riots, his legacy is mixed. >> if he plays nice that means he wants another job. if he's willing to take her on he's trying to go all the way. >> the problem for him is his biggest resumé is smoldering right now and was recently in actual complete flames in baltimore. so i think that's going to be a big problem for him. >> obviously a reference to the recent baltimore riots here. martin o'malley has an issue

related to that in that he's part of a democratic establishment here in baltimore. the state of maryland more broadly, that has run the city for decades. mostly at the governor's mansion. a couple of exceptions but for the most part the democrats have run this city run this state for decades. and then we saw what happened with the riots. so martin o'malley will have to deal with how his legacy has really prepared him to this be president of the united states guys. >> so you just played a clip saying no he's serious when he goes after hillary. seems like a smart point. has he gone after hillary? >> no. in fact i interviewed him on the ground in iowa. near the end of the interview, i said you don't really seem to be pressing hillary clinton. you're not offering an alternative. and he told me back this this was several weeks ago, well it's early. she's just getting into the race. well she's now been in the race for some six weeksful we'll see if he's more fired up today.

but that's the question. is he so close to the clintons that he's just running and testing the waters or is he going to take the fight to her? if he doesn't take the fight to her, it's going to be hard to provide an alternative and actually win the nomination. >> and this week two more contenders will be joining the crowd. monday lindsey graham is expected to announce. on thursday governor rick perry is expected to endorse the reigning endorsement of -- kyle the widow of the american sniper chris kyle. >> is there are choices on the side. democratic side there's one choice. hillary clinton and you're going to like it. on the republican side. let's put up the latest poll. it shows sochl inme in the top tier. bush carson huckabee rubio, walker and not far behind dr.

rand paul of kentucky followed by ted cruz of texas. donald trump who hand gotten in. chris christie of new jersey, carly fiorina and john kasich of ohio. >> how do you stand out in a field that big? >> it's tough. a couple have distinct messages. huckabee and santorum are pop lists on economics. but the bulk of the rest are singing from the same song sheets to me. donald trump is going to make a big announcement many june. so perhaps that will be an announcement that he's throwing his hat into the ring. >> it seems that way. i think he may be really doing this. >> i think a lot of folks would be excited to see him in a republican debate because he would bring a level of energy and cynicism about a lot of different issues and straight talk we wouldn't hear from some folks who are profession fall

poll the tigss. >> for a guy who is not running and has never run so far before he's doing well in the polls. he's beating a bunch of people who have run for president before. >> let's talk about baltimore. another shooting death last night brings the number to 39 this month alone. yet the arrests are going down. we want to show you in comparison baltimore to other cities who are pretty much you know almost the same size and population. baltimore, 112 homicides. nashville, tennessee only 21. denver 38 homicides. >> not even in the same universe. something terrible is going on in baltimore. do black lives really matter? do all black lives really matter or only the lives of those black citizens killed with police? those are the ones that get all

the publicity. national leaders have said nothing about the slaughter under way in if baltimore. why is that? >> and the question becomes, is this the ferguson effect? is this the baltimore effect? murders rise but arrests decline in major cities including baltimore. you look at the the numbers from a year ago, i mean they're off markedly. the cops are now afraid to arrest folks based upon what can happen? in terms of he gagty? 2800 last year in may. 1100 this year. >> you know what affect this has on the people? zero. nobody has talked about this on television lives anywhere near westball more. unless they can create a morality play out of the killings they're not interested. >> you would hope the investigation would a community safer. has that happened.

he says there's a false narrative being pushed. listen to this. >> the narrative is don't look at our poor leadership. look at racism. ignore the 212 deaths of black people in baltimore and focus on the one or two police incidents are black people have lost their lives. it's a bait and sbich. it's wicked. you perpetuate the the poverty and despair in the community. it can only come from action to make a better life for yourself. >> and wicked is a great description. >> >> unfortunately. >> wicked in the the original sense. this is evil. this is awful, what's going on and the people are jumping up and down about the death of freddie gray seem totally uninterested. why is that? >> i think the poorest people

are affected the most by this spike in crime, this spice in homicide and the police not being able to go about their job. >> where is president obama in this? this is a big deal. missing. missing for sure. >> let's oo try to make these people feel like they can get a leg up. we need to get to this weather alert. total devastation in texas. rain continues to fall across the state. 24 people have been killed. that number rising after rescuers pulled four more bodies for the water. 11 people are still missing. rivers continue to swell above flood stage, forcing mandatory evacuations for dozens of families southwest of houston. in dallas 200 water rescues yesterday. including this officer air lifted to safety after getting trapped trying to divert traffic. and new details about the indictment of former house speaker. federal law enforcement

we're going to continue to watch the storms move southeast. look at what we look at tomorrow. things starting out drink but looking much much better throughout the day tomorrow. temperatures today very warm and hot and muggy across much of the east. and we're going to warm things up eventually across texas and if southwest. >> not a good hair day in the northeast. >> thanks, rick. >> never a good hair day for me. >> coming up anti-islam protesters meant be so-called peace protesters shouting over the the prophet muhammad. is this about free speech? juan williams says no. he joins us next. >> and remember this guy? he stomped on the american flag and started a disgusting trend. this morning justice is served.

i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. it's tough, but i've managed. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms,troenterologist about humira.

with humira, remission is possible. another prophet muhammad cartoon drawing contest. this time in phoenix. >> hundreds gathereded outside of a mosque for a freedom of speech rally. the same mosque attended by the two gunmen killed by their recent attack at the cartoon contest in texas. >> is this fair play or does it cross the line of free speech? here to weigh in is juan williams. how are you? >> fine good morning. are these folks institutionalists or bigots? >> i would say -- i'm talking about the people there to make the point that free speech o

exists in the country. i would say they were there as constitutionalists in the most bold letter way. but i say that informs, it goes beyond that. it's not a matter of bigotry but a matter of provocation that they were trying to make a point. i don't see they are doing anything but making the point. it's gratuitous at this point. it's different than the police call cartoonist up in the northwest who is still in hiding because of death threats nor having drawn the prophet muhammad. and again, subject to death tlet threats. these are people trying to make the point that they are constitutionalists. as a lawyer you would appreciate that. >> i know everyone is mad at pamela gellar. but she made a real smart point when she said let's not divert our attention from what's important. >> why is it when someone stands

for free speech they being the targets of the attacks? why aren't we demanding an investigation? they said they didn't raise money for the legal defense? they posted him $100,000 bail. why is it about is people standing for free speech? the people who did the protest what they are saying is we will not submit. we will not. i believe the anecdote to bad speech is more speech. >> the first amendment is the most important thing that we have. >> well i won argue with that. i have been fireded for it so you know i speak with a sincere heart when i tell you. but i'm just telling you guys. at some point you have to wonder is this being done simply for the sake of doing it in the analogy i used before is someone who sets a fire says i wanted to see how quick the fire

department would get here. we've seen people lose their lives overa draw muhammad event that is offensive to many muslims. >> juan williams thank you so much for weighing in. >> you're welcome. good to see you guys. 20 minutes after the hour. a big break in the case that could get this person off the streets. we'll explain. >> plus fatherhood can be one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs on the planet. how do you know you're raising your kids right? we have the best advice from very notable dads. including our own great carl tuckerton.
