all of us. if you're looking for a good beach read now that it's the first of june. here it is making the case. how to be your own best advocate written by this woman who joins us today. >> i'm ordering mine right now on amazon. bill: we shall make the case now, good morning everybody. controversial data collection of the patriot act expiring overnight this after senators failed a reach a deal during a rare sun session. at center of that delay, senator rand paul. critics in his own party say his efforts left the u.s. exposed. what will he say to that? you will hear from him in a moment. good morning, i'm bill hemmer. on a monday, "america's newsroom." martha: good morning everybody i'm martha maccallum. this is one of three key provisions that expired at midnight after senator paul followed through on his pledge to block the bill. that delayed votes for several days. >> are we going to blythely give up our freedom?

are we going to so blythely go along and just say take it? well i'm not boeing to take it anymore. i don't think the american people are going to take it anymore. bill: senator paul's move infuriating other republicans many exiting the senate chamber as soon as he took the podium saying american lives are being put at risk, they argue. >> going dark. losing a valuable tool that is part of the effort ever gathering intelligence that helps keep americans safe, is something that we're going to be responsible for if we allow this to happen. bill: byron york. "washington examiner." myrtle beach. what now? where are we now? what has changed, byron? >> well those key provisions of the patriot act that dealt with the bulk collection of telephone data are gone. they have expired about nine hours ago. they are going to be replaced by something called the usa freedom act which was passed overwhelmingly in the house, which is a new way of basically

collecting data. the short version instead of having the government the nsa collect bulk data, the phone companies will actually do it but they will give it to the government if the government comes up with a valid warrant from a court. so what has happened is senator mitch mcconnell asked for unanimous consent to just go ahead and pass the usa freedom act. that is when senator paul, who has a right to do this as senator, objected. that meant mcconnell had to go through procedural routine and file for cloture on the bill. what they will do tomorrow, there will be a vote to end debate and gone on to final passage. bill. that will pass. the final bill itself will pass. bill: as of now the computers are not collecting that data. they were shut down sunday afternoon. senator paul as you mentioned in the middle of all this. he has detractors like john mccain who says this quoting now, i think he, senator paul obviously has a higher priority for his fund-raising political

ambitions than for the security of the nation. senator paul would disagree with that. what would he say? >> well i think senator paul would say look, i really believe this. of course he has a long history of lick tearian beliefs. he has opposed the patriot act for a long time. i should say he opposes not only these provisions of the patriot act but he also opposes usa freedom act which passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support in the house. senator paul is saying i'm acting on the basis of longstanding beliefs. on the other hand he is running for president and a lot of republicans, i talked to a few this morning a lot of republicans believe he is doing this for fund-raising. bill: one more point here. does this sunset entirely? you started to describe that in your first answer? what is the outcome be it tomorrow the day after or a week from now? >> well, the large parts of what we know as the patriot act didn't expire at all but these

controversial provisions did have a sunset on them. they did expire for data collection. they did expire a few hours ago and they're not in place right now. so you're going to see some debate in the senate how to get from here to there, how to get from the nsa program that existed for 10 years to a new program in which the phone companies collect this data under the usa freedom act. there is worries it actually won't work. that the phone companies won't be able to handle this. there is going to be extended debate on this next couple days to figure out how we actually do get from here to there. bill: that is a great point about the phone companies. we may find out very soon. byron, thank you, myrtle beach, south carolina. other news in that state. we'll get to that in a moment. martha: in a couple minutes we'll speak to senator paul about his move to force the expiration of the patriot act even within critics from his own party they believe he made a

huge mistake. senator paul joining us at 9:10 eastern this morning. we'll speak with one of his critics, new hampshire senator kelly ayote about all this. she feels quite differently about the whole thing. we'll talk to her at 9:30. bill: a big campaign theme. all that coming straight up on "america's newsroom." martha: another big news today as another republican is set to jump into the pool to run for president. lindsey graham is expected to announce his run for the white house 10:30 this morning. he will do that from his hometown of central south carolina. that is where we find john roberts. good morn toking you john. >> reporter: good morning to you, central a town, not a location. the storefront lindsey graham was born as a boy and grew in the back of with his parents. the 59-year-old senior senator from south carolina who retired after 33 years in the u.s. air force. graham is running on the strength of his military and national security record. he is a member of the armed

services committee in the senate. he has been to iraq and afghanistan more than 30 times. he will make the case on the campaign trail that he is only candidate with qualification to be commander-in-chief on day one. yes he did vote for the iraq juarez solution as a congressman in 2002. i asked him would he do it again? >> had you known then, what you know now would you have voted same way? >> if i had known then what i known now i would have supported something other than a land invasion to get saddam. he was shooting at our planes. he was denying access to nuclear sites and he was gassing the kurds. he intoed to go. >> reporter: graham told me would have tried to topple saddam hussein. he just would have used means other than going to war. martha: of course we know from speaking with lindsey graham on this program many times he is considered a hawk really on national security and he voc in that vein to some extent but he does have problems, john, with

the base of his party, does he not? >> reporter: he certainly does as witnessed by his re-election last year. he was challenged by a number of people on the right. a lot of people from the tea party claiming he wasn't conservative enough, calling him republican in name only supporting comprehensive immigration reform. graham handily won the primary and won the general election by 14 points. his former campaign manager doesn't expect will become the nominee, he told me yesterday don't count him out either. >> it would be a mistake to underestimate lindsey graham. he has been underestimated most of his political career. each time he has come out from under the shadow to surprise people. i wouldn't be surprised if he did it again. >> reporter: graham told me if he doesn't finish top tier in iowa and new hampshire he will drop out of the race before south carolina. if he does well in both those states he expects he will win south carolina. martha: watch him at 10:30 this

morning. john, thanks very much. bill: meanwhile another democrat jumping in the race to give hillary clinton a bit of competition. former maryland governor martin o'malley made it official. he is stepping up the fight for the democratic nomination this weekend. >> i declare that i am a candidate for president of the united states! and i, am running for you. [applause] bill: o'malley announcing his campaign in baltimore. that is where his political career began that way in that city. he is in. bernie sanders making some waves. bernie sanders drawing a crowd. martha: he did well over the weekend. bill: we'll talk about that a bit later. martha: martin o'malley talking about wall street. all that is coming up. meantime, this for you today four americans are now caught in the cross-hairs of the bloody civil war that is playing out in the streets and cities of yemen. a senior defense official says that they have been captured bit iran-backed shia rebels shiite rebels there. that group, of course has

toppled government in yemen and has fought on the backs of the houthi rebels there. the identities of these four individuals have not been released. "washington posts" reports that attempts to free the prisoners have so far failed. they are believed to be held in the capital city of sanaa which saudi arabia has been bombing to try to out of the rebels. messy situation there. bill: this note. secretary of state john kerry flying back home to boston. this a day after breaking his leg in a biking accident in france near the swiss border. the state department saying he is in good spirits spent the night at a hospital in geneva as precaution. heading home to get more treatment. we wish him well very soon. martha: we do. meantime a man with an eye on the white house single-handedly killing key parts. nsa spying program. >> this is a debate over the bill of rights. this is a debate over the fourth amendment. this is a debate over your right to be left alone. martha: senator rand paul sparked a huge debate over big brother and the bill of rights. he will join us here live next.

bill: also they said that the "taliban five" posed no security threat to americans so why did the u.s. just move to extend their travel ban? what is going on here? we'll look at that. martha: and panic on the streets of new york when a huge crain came crashing down in the middle of a busy street on one of the busiest cities on earth. why would that have happened and how it could have been a lot worse? >> all of a sudden i saw everybody running down that way. i saw a whole bunch of smoke. i saw the crain or an explosion. who knows what is going on nowadays.dy only glucerna has carbsteady clinically proven to help minimize blood sugar spikes. so you stay steady ahead.

martha: investigators back on the scene of a frightening crain accident that happened in midtown manhattan. a crain cable snapped on sunday morning. look at this damage. it dropped an industrial-sized air-conditioning unit 28 stories. look at the damage that it wreaked havoc on below on these cars. four tons this air-conditioning unit weighs. sheared the side of building and landed in the middle of mad san avenue. 10 people were hurt by falling debris. thankfully none of those injuries serious. >> why would a reasonable people take off the table tools that i believe are lawful and around which there is already a political consensus? if the vote goes forward, chris, most of these things go on. why would we give up things, the professionals say keep us safer. bill: former cia director

michael hayden there on "fox news sunday" with chris wallace? we know one senator against this in a big way. senator rand paul is a member of the home scanned security committee and 2016 presidential candidate. his new book is called, "taking a stand." he is with us live in washington. good morning a long night for you. appreciate you coming back to "america's newsroom." >> good morning. bill: what did you accomplish? >> court has said the bulk collection of all our phone records is illegal. from here on out beginning this week the government will not collect your phone records in bulk. so i think that is a huge victory. bill: okay. you heard people like general hayden just a moment ago who had a lot to say with chris wallace. i think he -- bill: he also said this. i think we're at risk to internal actors than anytime since 9/11. are you putting americans in danger senator? >> here is the thing. i want more collection of records on terrorists. i just want less collection of innocent americans.

i think we sometimes get distracted by some records of innocent americans that we're not spending enough time actually following the potential jihadists in our country. the fbi said just this week they help. they don't have enough people to follow the jihadists in our country. so here is what i would propose. i would hire 1000 new fbi agents to track these people. i would quit spending billions and billions of dollars collecting the records of innocent americans. this is a big rebuke to the president. the president has been committing an illegal program. the court told him to stop. he wouldn't stop. and now congress is going to tell the president this must end. this is a big victory for the american people. bill: you think this is a question of manpower, that it? that can golf it? >> manpower and focus. the other thing that people misunderstand is, you can collect records with a traditional constitutional warrant. the difference is, you put someone's name on it as opposed to having a generalized warrant that collects everyone's

records. this is what we fought the american revolution over. john adams said it was the spark that led to the american revolution that we were opposed to generalized warrants scooping up everyone's records. we want suspicion to be individualized. this is big blow for freedom this week that we're telling the president no more. the government is no longer going to collect all of our records all the time this is a big rebuke to the president. the president will have to obey the law. bill: let's dig a little deeper t was 7:00 eastern time last night when you said this comment. >> people here in town think i'm making a huge mistake. some of them i think secretly want their to be an attack on the united states so they can blame it on me. bill: some of them i think secretly want there to be an attack on the united states. to whom were you referring? >> i think sometimes in the heat of battle hyperbole can get the better of anyone. that may be the problem there. the point i was trying to make is that i think people do use

fear to try to get us to give up our liberty. this was the whole thing that benjamin franklin debated. whether or not we should trade our liberty for security and sometimes get neither. they say we're safer because of this bulk collection of data but it urns out everybody that has objected that looked at it, said no episode of terrorism has been prevented. no case has been cracked and many even in the intelligence committee admit it is very expensive and hasn't provided useful information. bill: we heard that argument. you expressed that as well. so have others. do you take the statement you just said when you say i think some secretly want there to be attack on united states so they can blame you? >> sometimes going after people's motives and impupilling people's motives in mistake. in the heat of battle sometimes hyperbole can get bert of all of us. i think general idea people use fear and they do use fear. they act as if we can't collect any records. they were using fear with the boston bomber we needed to look

at patriot act to look at his phone records. that is completely untrue. the constitution allows for warrants and we could have gotten a warrant to get the boston bomber's records. i want more of that not less. we have to have intelligent debate and sometimes hyperbole gets better of us. bill: are you standing by that or not? rhyme trying to nail that down? >> i think calling it hyperbole, that means i may have exaggerated the case. bill: let's move on now. >> yeah. bill: because senator mccain and others think you're doing this because you want to be president and you want to raise money. to him and others you would say what? >> i would say i've been fighting this fight since i came to public fight. i fought the identical fight in 2011. i tried to stop the patriot act then. they offered me two amendments in 2011, we came to compromise. this time i asked same thing. i was denied amendments. no amendments will be allowed on this on our side of the coin. so i would say nobody really

questions my sincerity with my support and defense fourth amendment and bill of rights. those that do trying to make the debate into tawdry debate, trying to use personal innuendo which is really beneath all of us. we ought to have better debate on the facts. bill: brit hume said this in light of the fact that you are running for president, characterized your fight the following way. >> he seems confused which party he is running in. these stances these are on surveillance or who is responsible for isis will not sit well with the majority of the republican electorate. it is just not going to happen. bill: not going to sit well. what do you make of that? >> i think when you get outside of the beltway pundits and go to america, you find the opposite. over 80% of people under 40 think the government has gone too far collecting our records all of the time. well over 50% of the republicans believe this. sometimes we get caught up in this washington atmosphere but the truth of the matter is the

american people think the government shouldn't be collecting their records indiscrimminantly. i will continue to champion privacy. i would do it whether it was popular or not because i pledged an oath to defend the constitution. i will continue to defend the constitution the best way i know how. i think the american people are actually with me. bill: quickly senator, yes or no. the senate will take this up tomorrow. can you stop this now is or is your fight over at least on legislative side at the moment? >> i think actually we're winning. the president will be rebuked and the president will not longer illegally collect our records all the time. so i think it's a big victory for privacy. bill: rand paul, thank you for your time out of the washington. appreciate it, senator. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. martha: with kelly ayote in a few minutes. an epic online rant ends up back firing a former fifa executive accused corruption, slamming allegations. there was one big problem with his defense. bill: notorious members of the

bill: former second of world soccer governing body slamming the u.s. and embarrassing himself in the process. jack warner is his name. indicted for corruption accusing the u.s. prosecuting him as the world cup as evidence. he didn't realize the article was satire. this is from a fake news site called "the oninon." martha: new fallout from the controversial prisoner swap. qatar reaching a last minute deal with the united states to temporary extend travel bans for the five senior taliban leaders

released from gitmo in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl who was later charged with desertion and his hearing is about to get underway in the beginning of july. let's joined by conor powell in the middle east newsroom with more on this story. what is the latest on this all, conor? >> reporter: martha from what we understand talking with u.s. officials the travel ban which was set to expire for the "taliban five" at midnight has not been extended but there are negotiations underway with the administration and qatar to extend it. during those negotiations the travel ban has in fact not been lifted. so they have essentially extended this travel ban. but the effort by the white house is to extend it. we don't know how long whether a matter of weeks months or even possibly years. the administration said at the time when they traded these five taliban detainees for sergeant bowe bergdahl from the taliban last year was that the possibility that these guys would return to the battlefield was extremely low.

clearly now the effort to extend travel bans, the white house is back tracking on this a bit. there is a fear they could return to the battlefield sometime in the future. what we don't know is, if this travel ban is extended for six months is there possibility there would be another extension of a travel ban. or is this just delaying the inevitable. that is what we're waiting to hear from the administration. still a lot of questions both by lawmakers and from the general public what this process how this process came about and where this process is going. the likelihood at some point these five taliban detainees will be released. we just don't know when, martha. martha: obviously there is a scramble going on to keep them in place a little longer. the threat that they posed seems to be taken more seriously by the white house based on this reporting. so if they are released in the near future, where is it likely they will go, conn more? >> reporter: as members of the taliban they have connections obviously to afghanistan.

most of them are afghans or probably pashtun, sort of ethnicity. so they could be tied to both afghanistan or pakistan. we reached out to afghan officials and they have told us both on the record and off the record that the afghan government is not and has not and will not extend passports to these individuals. the likelihood they're going to kabul anytime soon, that is very unlikely. what we don't know is about pakistan yet martha. martha: very interesting. conor, thank you. bill: one of the biggest tv names in journalism reporters basically gave president obama a free pass as a candidate in 2008. is he right? if so what does that mean this time around? our panel will debate that in a moment. martha: rand paul with brand new reaction to the temporary shutdown of the nsa bulk collection program. senator kelly ayote tells us with her response to what senator paul just said moments ago on our air when we come back. >> it's a big blow for freedom this week that we're telling the

president no more. the government is no longer going to collect all of our records all the time. so this is a big rebuke to the president. the president is now going to have to obey the law.

you total your brand new car. nobody's hurt,but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty

mutual new car replacement, we'll replace the full value of your car. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. bill: 89:31, news breaking iraq. this is not good. islamic state suicide attack reportedly kills 38 policemen, military and police members. this is an attack at explosives south of iraqi city of samarra. says 46 others were wounded. there are security forces and shia paramilitary groups fighting in that area to drive out islamic state insurgents. 38 dead, 46 others wounded, as news breaking out of iraq on "america's newsroom." martha: continuing that, if isis continues these attacks as cia director john brennan says the fight against these terrorists will be far from over anytime soon. during an interview on "face the

nation," he doubled down on the obama administration strategy that leaves the effort largely in the hands of the iraqis. >> we're not going to resolve this problem on the battlefield. we have to keep the pressure on them but at the same time, there has to be a viable political process that is able to bring together the actors inside of iraq and syria. for them to be able to side how they're going to have a peaceful future this will be a long fight. i don't see this being resolved anytime soon. martha: new hampshire republican senator kelly ayote on the armed services committee. she joins me now. welcome to you. >> thank you martha. martha: you listen to the cia director there and it's a really a continuation from the head of the department of defense. we also heard it from josh earnest over the course of the last week. the administration is putting this fight on the battlefield at a longer and longer arms length every day it appears. >> it does look that way. if you look at isis recent success in ramadi and other

successes they are having obviously there will not be a political solution without success on the battlefield. so the current strategy is clearly not working because they are succeeding more and more in terms of territory that they're taking. again i think that we need to hear from the president not just putting this off but what is going to be the strategy to defeat isis on the battlefield? even when you look at the airstrikes that have been taken great majority of them -- majority of them we're not even dropping bombs because we don't have jtacs and forward air controllers on the ground to know where to drop them to be more effective. there is support for the kurds much more we could do to give them arms. they are an effective fighting fores on the ground. to put this off seems to me, we can't have a wait-and-see attitude when we see what isis is doing and foreign fighters flowing in there and risk it can possess to us. martha: hundreds of countries by

assessment of the u.n. are supporting isis fighters and they have absolutely grown over the course of our effort to diminish their ranks. so i want to move on to another topic obviously very hot on capitol hill right now and across the country in terms of the conversations that people are having about nsa bulk collection data. whether or not it works as effective and constitutional. here is a sound bite from senator rand paul who was just on speaking with bill a moment ago. here he is. >> i actually want more collection of records on terrorists. i want less collection of innocent americans. i think we sometimes get distracted by collecting so many records of innocent americans we're not spending enough time following the potential jihadists in our country. so here is what i would propose, i would hire 1000 new fbi agents to track these people. martha: is there truth to that? >> martha i think where we are is it is very important that we give our intelligence officials the tools that they need to

obviously gather intelligence on groups like isis we talked about that really present a threat to us. al qaeda, other terrorist groups. we can't go pack to pre9/11 mentality. right now on the senate floor we have the usa freedom act. i expect in the next couple days we'll debating that improving that then obviously making sure that our intelligence officials have the tools that they need to protect america. and, we have heard the former director of the fbi director mueller tell us, as well as former cia director morell told us that if they had been able to connect the data collections that it allows they would have prevented 9/11 or would have been important piece of information before 9/11. that is important for us. martha: senator paul said at the times we had benefit of the bulk collection program and boston and garland, texas that we were

not able to follow the people because there is simply too much data. he is saying why don't we step up number of fbi agents dedicated to tracking people because we know there are individuals in this country who want to do us harm and maybe cast a smaller net, that is more focused based on intense work on these leads? >> martha, i would say i don't disagree with him on support for our fbi and our intelligence officials but i also think when we hear from our top intelligence officials that these are important tools to have we should have the debate how to reform them but make sure they have those tools and also support them with additional agents if that's what they need to pursue terrorists. as i look what is happening around the world right now, we need to make sure that we are protecting americans and not going back to where we were before 9/11. martha: you know, what about focusing on things like facial recognition technology, better coordination with local law enforcement? because those are specific things that we don't hear much

talk about that could actually help us to get closer to the people who are already on our soil who want to do bad acts? >> well, martha, i agree with all of the above. you have, our local law enforcement they're most likely on the ground. if you look at the boston bombing, would have been local officials that would have seen and interacted with those terrorists first. so absolutely there needs to be sharing of information and coordination from state and local to federal. i was a former attorney general. i saw it on the ground. we need to always focus on that. we've done that after 9/11. we can always do better there. martha: be good to hear even more about that. senator kelly ayote good to have you with us. good to ha hear from you as always. >> thank you martha, appreciate it. bill: beau biden, the son of vice president joe biden died after a two year battle with brain cancer. father of two served in iraq war and former delaware attorney

general. he planned to run for governor next year in fact. vice president calling his son quote the finest man any of us have ever known, end quote. sympathy pouring in from all over the country from both sides of the aisle. president obama saying michelle and i humbly pray for the good lord to watch over beau biden and protect and comfort his family here on earth. that is certainly a shocker. our best to the bidens as they get through this which will not be easy. martha: has been through a lot over the years. one more thing for the vice president to have to endure breaks your heart. really awful story. our thoughts are with them. all right, this story is straight ahead this morning. as a tricky high wire stunt leaves some circusgoers holding their breath. >> [shouting] [bleep]. martha: acrobat hanging by her hair from a spinning rocket

ship when all went terribly wrong. we'll show you what happened. bill: my gosh. veteran in the news business saying the media could have been more skeptical of candidate barack obama in 2008. so what does that mean for the next election. >> i think it was better in the days when people kind of new one another. there were charges about being too cozy, but it seemed to the me the town worked a lot better in those days. i don't think anybody would argue that. stal service? exactly. that's what pushes us to deliver smarter simpler faster sleeker earlier fresher harder farther quicker and yeah even on sundays. what's next? we'll show you.

fox news contributor. marianne marsh former advisor to secretary of state john kerry we hope he is doing better that he is flown back to boss ton. hope for a good recovery for him. all right. katie, what do you think bob schiefer was trying to characterize from the 2008 press, many times by kurtz by the way? >> first of all there is a lot of material to go through with this issue and you look at 2008 and barack obama was not vetted by the media. the media failed to ask the questions of barack obama that maybe would have prevent ad lot of scandals we've seen over the past six years. and not only did they fail to ask those questions, but they did something that was much worse. they defended the president and painted an entire sector of the population the tea party as racist and bigots for even asking the questions that the media should have been asking of president obama. and i would hope that moving forward in 2016, that we'll see some of tougher questions asked but you know, i don't know.

you see george stephanopoulos who of course was pressing peter skieser on his book, clinton cash. we find out he donated $100000 lomb to the clinton foundation. i'm not sure there will be -- bill: where does it stop? where does it end? i thought it was interesting interview with schieffer, marianne. what do you think of his comment in 2008? >> look, bob schieffer had it right it is up to the press to cover campaigns and report the facts and the truth that is their job. what we see today is people view the media as badly or lowly as they view congress. i think that says a lot. that said however, not like barack obama went through the 2008 campaign unscathed. he emerged on the scene from a speech in 2004 here in boston when john kerry was running for president. by the way he opposed the iraq war. many in the media took that and looked at obama said, you know what he wasn't duped by the bush administration. many of us were.

we should have been tougher on bush. so i think he earned a lot of credibility with a lot of media. reverend wright, he was -- bill: this is what bob schiefer said, a man i respect and like too. what we do, we watched the campaign and we report what the two sides are doing. i think it is politicians who make the campaign. now that sets us up for the following question. what bob schieffer was referring to katie, seems to me the horse race the polling who is up, who is down day-to-day, and not the policies or the past record of said candidate. >> right. bill: you could make a fair argument okay you can say that is the responsibility of the adversarial campaign on the other side, or you can make the case, where is the media digging into the past to figure out what he or she is all about? >> the media has responsibility to do both, report what is happening in the campaign and to vet candidates. don't get me wrong they vet

candidates. in 2012 they were more concerned making sure everyone knew about the way mitt romney transported his dog or the way he had binders full of women. those were issues they were focused on. they were not focused on barack obama in 20 self campaign. the media does have responsibility to ask tough questions of candidates, who they are, what their policies are going to be. the again the media in 2008 and continuing into president obama's candidacy smeared those who questioned those policies as racist and bigoted and anti-the first black president in the white house. that is what they did. it is unacceptable and unforgivable. >> i think people sat up and took notice. marianne, react to that. >> look the fact is, it is up to the media to vet everybody. i think it does a disservice when they only focus on the horse race especially when there is so batched public polling out there. but reality is, there is so much more media now. it is hard to hide. more doesn't mean better but there is more media. all the established media

outlets added especially for this presidential campaign. bill: good point. >> that said it is much easier to go around the media because there are so many avenues to reach voters directly. the stronger media more media focuses on facts and truth the better for everybody and democracy. i think what you'll see during this campaign seeing it already, candidates going directly to the voters on facebook, on twitter, on some different online platforms they don't have to deal with the media. bill: i'm out of time but the horse race is easiest race to follow. like who is up, who is done. the tough work is what is behind votes in the past policies. katie, mayor raeanne. >> thanks, bill. martha: taking a journey into the eye of the storm. scientists are studying hurricanes in a whole new way. inside of the brand new storm simulator, pretty cool, coming up next. bill: also, martha, this story is for you. i know you've been waiting for

now it is senator lindsay graham who is set to announce

his bid for the white house. he is about to add his name to the list of the gop contenders. there is the seen in south carolina this morning. i am martha maccallum. >> and i will bill hemmer. senator graham is a hawk on security and defense. the three term senator never lost a race in 23 years. his poll numbers barely register on the national stage. he is likely not the last to throw the hat in thewi with bobby jindel bobby jindel expected to throw his hat in the ring. >> i am the only potential candidate who offered policies. >> steve hayes is here senior writer for the fox contributor. we focus on lindsay graham who

is set to announce running this morning. what are your thoughts on him getting in? >> he wanted to enliven the debate on national security issues. i was interviewing him last fall and he dropped it in the conversation he was thinking about running for president because he didn't think the republican field was going to be focused enough on national security issues. in the time since of course we have seen a great deal on discussion of national security issues in part of what is happening in the world, but he decided i know these issue and i will run on these issue. >> carly fiorina was on she is one who already threw her hat in the ring and faced off with

chris wallace over the weekend. here is a little of that. >> it is not accurate to say i don't know anything about politics. i have severed as advisor and ran my own campaign in california and lost that but i gained republican democratic and more independent votes because of california's size than anyone running in the country. >> carly fiorina is getting that question a lot; about what makes her eligible to run in this arena. she revs up people in front of a crowd. >> he has a falling many in washington are underestimating. she has to be careful about talking how close she is to selling point because a selling point is she is coming from outside of washington. they like somebody like a ben carson or carly fiorina who is

coming outside and speaks on common sense terms and speaks on the problems of the day not in the same way people in washington do. she is not talking about filibusters. she is talking about here is how i see the problem and how i think we should solve it. >> we put up the baseball card pictures of people in or think they may be getting in. good or bad for the republican side of this equation for the republican side going into the race? that there are so many? >> i am of the view it is neither good or bad. it depends on how the debate unfolds. it is positive it doesn't look like the republicans are having a coronation. so i think the framing looks

better for the republicans. but if you have people repeatedly taking nasty shots and it could get personal if you have airing of dirty longer or candidates staying in longer because the super pacs make them eligible longer it could have a destructive affect. so we will see over the next six to eight months. >> steve thank you. we will see you soon. u.s. defense officials con firming reports of americans being held by rebels in the country of yemen. it is believed the group is in prison in the capital city. jennifer griffin is live in the pentagon on this. do we know how many americans are being held? >> most sources confirmed that four americans, some with dual

sit citizenship is being held by the rebels. the u.s. marines guarding the embassy disabled their weapons. a travel warning asked people to not visit the country and urged those inside to leave the country. the state department who has the lead to get them released issued a report saying quote we have seen individuals being held in yemen and we are doing anything we can to get them released but we don't have any more details to share. >> iran on one side and saudi arabia on the other. are there peace talks between these two coalitions? >> reporter: there are mixed reports coming out of the

region. a spokesman for the displaced government of yemen backed by united states and saudi arabia told rioters that senior leaders were having talks but the hooties deny they are taking place. those whose government is allied with them of course says it isn't true. they thanked the russians for sending a ship to rescue hundreds from yemen. the state's department yemen crisis said quote there are no plans of a use coordinated evacuation of u.s. citizens. if you wish to depart yemen you should stay alert for other ways to depart. >> thank you, jennifer griffin. texas getting their first look at wide spread damage as the storms finally moved out of the region and the swollen

rivers are going down. some people say they cannot believe their eyes. >> never seen water in my back yard. i could see it before but never coming into the water. so this is the highest its ever been. >> jenny from kdfw is joining us live in texas. lots of sunshine this morning but what else is going on? >> yeah and that is what is so peculer. the lakes that overflowed are 15-20 miles where i am and the water is making its way over here. this is a golf course. look in the danceistance. you see the tall trees covered in water the greens covered, and we think this black fence is

five feet and it is totally covered. and you see the do not enter, high water sign, and it is obvious do not enter but there are other parts police are monitoring because it is so dangerous to go into the areas because people have the mindset it is nice out and the flooding is gone but it isn't. >> how are the emergency officials managing this in >> reporter: this has been a tough one. they have a two-square mile area that is blocked off starting here and moving to the side of this. they have been going overhead and noting we need to chose this road or this road because one area is simon freeway that people use to get to work so they don't want to block too much on monday morning commute but had to block several roads there and did a reverse 911 call meaning everybody in the two mile radius out to 3,000 people got a phone call that

said waters are coming, get out if you can or at least me aware of the potential flooding so people were able to get out and hopefully this is the worst of it this morning and it will slowly start to go back down. back to you. >> jenny, thank you. here is brand new reaction from the man at the center of the debate over the nsa data collection hours after the policy expired. senator rand paul telling us he is not against surveillance he just wants it focused on the right people. >> i want more collection on records of terrorist but less collection of innocent americans. we get distracted collecting records from innocent people. >> judge napolitano is on deck and he will join us and react in

a 9-year-old girl is fighting for her life after a car cash at los angeles airport. fire officials say the vehicle struck the girl and plowed into a building. the driver and passenger are injured but expected to recover and the nine year old is in the hospital in serious condition. the cause of the crash is under investigation. this is what we fought the american revolution over. we are opposed to generalized warrants and we wanted the mission to be individualized. so a big blow for freedom we are telling the president no more. the government is not going to collect all of our records all of the time. now the president has to obey the law. >> rand paul's reaction to following through on blocking

the vote on the nsa bulk data collection. the senator believes the program is illegal and not efficient. judge napolitano is here and you agree. >> i do. and i would like to say we are not against all spying. the government has a right to know when the bad people are among us. we want the government to follow the constitution that forces them to have evidence before they can spy. >> what do you say to general hayden who used the run the nsa says we need every tool and he said although you cannot point to finding a terrorist that hung on this program alone, it fell

into the mix of finding people. >> i like and know joe. we are personal friends and have appeared together and debated this. isn't it easier for the government to spy on everyone rather than getting the search warrant? yes, it is. but they reached a point where they have so much information it is information overload and things like the boston marathon bomber and those crazy people outside of garland texas slip through the cracks and we knew about those people two brothers and jerks in texas, before this events happen. >> i think many would argue this program -- to say we have a lot of stuff and need to through it. here is what rand paul said about the boston situation. >> they were saying we needed

the patriot act to look at the boston bomber's records but that is not true. the constitution allows for warrant and we could have gotten a warrant to look at the boston bomber's records. i want more of that not less. >> we know the kbg or the present situation warned the fbi about the older brother in the bombing. >> twice. >> that would have been enough to get a warrant to focus in on him. that would have sent them to the brother and the place in which they bought the pressure cooker that was the instrument of death and destruction. and by forcing the government to comply with the constitution probably cause some evidence of wrongdoing about the person whose calls you want to intercept it gets rid of the suspicion of access information.

>> and it focus them to work harder and speak to each other. one of the biggest problems in boston is what the fbi knew dethey never shared that with the boston police department. that is one of the biggest faults of these programs i think we have to deal with. when you look at this there are many judge who say god for bid it turns out there was a phone call someone understood happened and they could not get their hand on it in time. >> my argument is the government's job is to keep us free and safe. if it keeps us safe but unfree it is not doing its job. >> you would rather see safe first? >> when people are afraid they want to go into the government's arms and have them keep them safe. >> did you believe the programs

have been effective? people are saying they are not working and if they were someone would say there is no way we could have caught this terrorist without this program and he not seen that. >> the inspector general said not a single plan was stopped. so it doesn't work. >> very interesting. thank you. travel ban on former gitmo datain detainees on the former taliban five. why is the administration so concerned about this now and extending the hold? >> a rare computer tossed out with the recycling and wait until you hear how much that is worth.

almost a million dollars. the recycling company is looking for the woman and they will give her a $100,000. the 50 computers were made as the prototype. and she was like i want to get rid of these old computers. >> i have a box full of black back berries. and now reports of airstrikes not being fired 75 percent of the time they go up. rob peters is here fox news analyst, two issues at play, ground intelligence or lack there of and the concern of

civilian casualties. >> this is quite simple. in our refusal to except hundreds of civilian deaths in airstrikes we condemn millions of people who live in the middle east of the tyranny of the islamic state. warfare is never going to be clean. you had a problem with deaths in the bush administration. you heard josh talk about two civilian deaths so we have to put the brakes on the airstrikes against the islamic state. you elevate worries of civilian deaths above the will to win we will lose. three quarters of the planes are

coming back with bombs on board still. even when they thought they saw a target what they have to go through in the air to get permission to drop the bomb is ridiculous. and from the air it is hard to tell whose side is on. >> you mention josh ernest, i think you were referring to this: >> there are rules of engagement that military leaders established for the strikes and we are cautious of making sure no civilian cashualties. reported that an attack carried out resulted in the death of innocent people in syria and we are working hard to minimize that. >> he is saying those are the rules they setup. if you want to win this war, you have to have people in place

that can make your fighters affective and we don't have that. so if we don't have that and accept that what does that say about the content? >> it is phony. obama is trying to look like he is doing something serious. if you don't have the -- an air campaign alone is not going to destroy the launch no matter how violent we wage. without eyes on the ground, skilled personal calling airstrikes, will continue to have the planes going back to base without doing their job. >> you are arguing the united states is not at war with isis but isis is clearly at war with us. >> that sums it up very well. we are not taking this threat seriously. again i don't want civilian

deaths. but if in world war ii we refused to bomb hitler's head quarters because afraid of hitting a food stand near by. you will always have losses. we know what the head quarters are but we will not strike it because of civilian deaths. how on earth can you win if you are not willing to attack the enemies head quarters? war is never pretty. defense contracts have been lying to american people for generations about pin point strikes precision strikes, clean war, no cost or penalties. warfare always has ugly cost. but the longer you delay the action against isis the worst of the terror for people suffering

northeastern town of iowa with only 200 residents but 300 people showed up. what is he doing? he is tapping into some angst from the left that maybe hilary clinton is not as accessible. trying to tap into the elizabeth warren wing of the party. elizabeth warren is not running but the issues that animate her, taking on the president's trade bill. and you see marco mark o'malley there. he had event with 700 people. hilary clinton hasn't had that many because of the orchestrated

round tables. sanders is saying i will take the questions and go out there. voters as well are responding. >> and iowans like to be spoken to directly. it will be interesting to see if the clinton strategy of having the orchestrated events might backfire on them in iowa. what if she gets a serious challenge to her in that state? it is always been a tough spot for her. >> it has been. she came in third in 2008. when i talk to hilary clinton's advisors they say they know this will always be an uphill battle in iowa and only sitting presidents crack 50 percent in the caucuses. so they know someone like sanders can get 20-25 percent, maybe not win but shake her up ahead of new hampshire. it may not be about bernie

sanders beating hilary clinton in iowa but it might be about getting momentum and opening to door for another candidate who is sitting out right now. >> no doubt elizabeth warren is watching all of this closely because she has a lot of people who want her to get in. ed thank you. >> here a big event at the white house taking place in a matter of moments. and in south carolina lindsay graham will take the stand announcing his running. we have former new hampshire governor here. how are you on a monday? >> happy monday. >> 23 years in public office never lost an election he has a home crowd in south carolina but as we can show you from the latest polling, scott walker at 17, rand paul at 10 ben carson 10 and lindsay graham is at 1%.

what is his challenge, governor? >> i think like all of the republican candidates joining the crowded feel they have to define themselves in a way that let's them pull themselves above the crowd. you have three or four frontrunners who get good traction because of the name recognition. lindsey is going to try to run on the strong national security platform and that resinates i think certainly in new hampshire and i think with a lot of conservatives in iowa as well. >> south carolina is third. iowa, new hampshire south carolina. is that his go-to moment? >> i think lindsey is counting on doing well in iowa and coming into new hampshire and south carolina and taking into the strong national security leaning of those states.

every candidate is going to have their own approach to this. we will have a crowded field and they will have to talk directly to the voters in new hampshire talk directly to the voters in iowa, and this is see me touch me feel me campaigning, and character is important as is the specific issues. >> one more point in this there are those suggestions he hurts jeb bush in south carolina. do you see it that way? >> i don't think see at all. when you have a favorite son in the state people lose at who is coming second third and fourth. >> you heard what ed henry is saying about the crowds for sanders. here is lost polling from iowa. 16% for sanders and biden down to line there. what is going on when we see the pictures of people turning out

in sizable numbers? >> he is giving people on the democratic side a creditable place for those who say hillary clinton is covered with scandals and won't take questions. hilary clinton is trying to run in a shell and they are looking for an alturnernativealternative. they may not be pro-bernie but they are anti-clinton. >> does that change the way she campaigns at all? >> i don't know. i don't understand her strategy to this point so i am not going to try to predict her strategy going forward. i cannot understand why she isolated herself when she had the capacity to create the lock out for other candidates. >> why do you think that is? >> i think she is uncomfortable dealing in a tough environment. she got burned last time and is

trying to insulate herself. >> see me feel me touch me. you got the line of the morning. thank you from new hampshire: martin o'malley hitting the campaign trail after announcing he wants to get into the campaign as well and how he plans to pull support away from the democratic frontrunner hilary clinton. >> and the white house claims the five gitmo detainees exchanged for bowe bergdahl claim they are not a threat but the action from the white house shows otherwise. >> they have major positions in the taliban government. they were serious individuals whose sole focus was the take out american lives.

the negotiations going on, is the white house wanted it to be an indefinite deal and qutar would hold them together. but the taliban said no one year in qutar and then done and then according the stories the white house said okay. >> turns out weakness is dangerous and we didn't have the leverage and gave to the one-year deal. and now we have a six month extension. this administration has no natural security strategy. this was a strategy to have them there and put them through the commission process and use them to cultivate intelligence. there is no strategy and as a result we are releasing them and having to deal with government for six month extensions for
