triple crown contender american pharaoh got his first job around the track at the bell mont stakes. he landed in new york city yesterday. if he wins he'll become the first triple crown winner ingq years. bill: looking forward to that. thank you everybody. we have breaking news. there has been another arrest after a terrorist suspect said to be radicalized by isis killed by police. we're awaiting a court appearance of a second suspect believed to be part of an alleged plot to attack police officers. this is developing story. we say good morning, welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum. the second suspect david wright is taken into custody. you see video here. that happened north of boston. another search going on they think may be related in rhode island. it started yesterday. police shot an armed man outside after cvs. >> we have a gentleman black
6:01 am
male coming out now with a knife. martha: molly line is live in boston. molly, what do we know about this second suspect and whether there they were connected in this alleged plot? >> reporter: we're expecting to learn more here in federal court when the second suspect david wright is expected to be arraigned in relation to the j.t. tf, joint terrorist task force investigation. he is linked in some way to a man killed yesterday by an fbi agent and police officer officer here in boston. that man's name 26-year-old, usaama rahim who attacked investigators with a military-tile knife. they spent much of yes, sir in everett, massachusetts, suburb of boston. local and federal authorities all over the scene in the neighborhood. wright was taken into custody in the afternoon. they are looking for a link at rahim and wright and possible connection in a plot to harm a law enforcement officer.
6:02 am
here is what neighbors in the area had to say. >> so close to you you're like, what else will happen, what's next? >> i was surprised. i heard it was him i was even more surprised i spoken to him a couple of times. like, i would have never thought >> reporter: this is really so early in the investigation. police just beginning to go to some various scenes. investigators pouring over a scene in warrick, rhode island as well. with any luck we'll be hearing more in federal court today clarification what it is they say this individual did. martha? martha: as you say they have been watching these individuals for quite some time, the joint terrorism task force in boston. do they know or have they revealed whether they were radicalized online or perhaps related in any way to isis molly? >> reporter: we have at least one federal source telling us they're looking at possibility that rao happy in -- rahim in particular was radicalized online by isis propaganda.
6:03 am
fbi officials would not name any other people they're looking atn with yesterday but we know there was at least one arrest. the boston police commissioner talking about what a surprise it was the way rahim had reacted. they wouldn't say why they chose yesterday to approach him. it was a surprise. take a listen to commissioner evans. >> he kept retreating. verbally, giving commands, drop the weapon, drop the weapon. at some point the individual, proximity came close. the fbi and boston police did everything they could possibly do to get this individual to drop his knife. unfortunately am some point we had to take his life. >> reporter: want to reiterate they're watching a couple of developing situations here in federal court seeking further information on david wright and another scene in warwick, rhode island that has been active. state investigators and federal
6:04 am
investigators taking a look at that, linked as well to the j.t. tf investigation. martha: we'll have more later on in the program. chairman of house homeland committee mike mccaul will join us live about what is happening in boston and what can be done about terror suspects radicalized online is a big issue. he will take that on. martha: brings in questions of nsa, whether or not there was any involvement of that program tracking phone calls between these individuals. all that coming up. meantime, president obama signing legislation that will haul our controversial surveillance programs we were just discussing. the senate approved the bill yesterday after weeks of deadlock, passing the freedom act, it ends the national security agency's bulk collection of americans phone records. now there will be a more targeted system for that in place. >> we're very much enjoying the passage of this bill which has now passed with a supermajority. >> it passed the most
6:05 am
significant surveillance reform in decades. we will protect the security of the united states but we also will protect the privacy of americans. martha: it's a big deal. kentucky senator rand paul pushed back against the reauthorization of nsa techniques, dragging out the debate past the june 1st deadline and foursing surveillance programs to expire. bill: brand new polling shows the obvious. there is no republican frontrunner. yet another candidate gets ready to join a already crowded primary field. louisiana governor bobby jindal expected to announce his ambitions for 2016 on the 24th of june. governor jindal not among the top five contenders on this poll on the screen. governor walker tied for 11%. governor walker has not officially announced. jeb bush and rubio tied at 10%. well within the margin of error.
6:06 am
mike huckabee. byron york, "washington examiner," fox news contributor. back in myrtle beach south carolina. good morning. >> good morning, bill. bill: as you say wide open doesn't begin to describe this field, does it, byron? >> absolutely not. we're haven't seen anything like this right now. we're seeing sew decline of jeb bush. remember back in january he seem to got a jump on rest of the republican field, announcing he was exploring a run doing a lot of fund-raising. in this same "washington post" poll he was at 18%. now he has gone down to 10%. scott walker got a big jump in late january, on impressive performance in iowa. he is keeling off a it about. those two things opened up some room. you've seen marco rubio rise pretty dramatically in the past couple months. ben carson is holding his own as is rand paul. bill: let's get to the others okay? there are two more panels to
6:07 am
come byron, so sit tight. carson, cruz christie santorum in the third group, kasich,. less than 1% is bobby jindal. can he catch on? >> jindal is a bit of a mystery. he has been a top administration official. he has been a two-term governor. he has a lot of experience yet he is has not caught on yet. some people believe he is not very well-known. his only national experience was a response to a it staff union address that didn't go well a few years ago. but he will have a chance to make his to make his case in iowa and new hampshire and if he can, get up in the polls just a little bit if he gets on that debate stage, his supporters think he will be able to make a good impression. bill: seems one pattern is for sure. when they announce they get a little bit of a bump at least
6:08 am
temporarily if not longer. >> they do. >> now the question continues, byron, with such a large field is that good for the party in your view or not? >> i think there are a lot of republicans certainly in the upper echelons of the party who are worried this large tightly bunched field, will lead to a long, drawn out destructive battle that weakens the eventual nominee. i think they would like to see something somewhere in the middle of this coronation that we're seeing on the democratic side, and this huge free-for-all on the republicanside right now. they can't make that happen. there are a the lot of candidates. they all have a chance to rise in the republican race. bill: makes interesting summer. byron york live in myrtle beach. governor bush has not declared either yet. martha: nope. bill: sometimes you get a little bump with a attention. they were down with neil cavuto down in florida. martha: some thought his interview with neil was edgy or
6:09 am
testy. sound bites from jeb bush's interview yesterday if you feel like the competition you showed everybody is getting to him a little bit. we'll talk about that coming up. meantime this awful story as 19 more bodies are recovered after a passenger ship capsized on a river in china. more than 420 people trapped inside of the hull of the eastern star when that ship went down on monday. only 14 known survivors. the ship overturned during a storm with 80 mile-an-hour winds. the search continues. bill: president obama not just showing his hand with iran and throwing his cards on the table for everyone to see. what he is not willing to do with a deal with tehran. we'll talk with the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, bob corker standing by on the hill. more on that. martha: was the engineer of the amtrak train that derailed on the phone? why they're having a very hard time figuring that question out
6:10 am
and how important that question is. bill: the white house says we're one of the most transparent you have ever seen but there appears to be a lot more red tape for journalists and watchdog groups trying to get information. what can be done to get better access? listen here. >> the freedom of information act or foia, should be one of the most powerful tools of the public and the press in a free and open society. instead it's largely a pointless, useless shadow of its intended self. but not every insurance company understands the life behind it. ♪ those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. ♪ usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. ♪ ♪ when you're living with diabetes steady is exciting.

6:14 am
martha: so there is new developments in last month's deadly amtrak crash in philadelphia. investigators are trying to figure out if the engineer was using his cell phone. remember he said it was in his bag at the time. was he on it when that train accelerated into that curve which was a deadly move that ended up taking the lives of eight passengers on that train. the engineer as i said he said it was put away in his backpack but in testimony before congress the chairman of the ntsb actually confirming that is easier said than done. >> we do have the records. the engineer was very cooperative. even gave us the password to his cell phone. so we do have all that. as we peeled the onion found more and more complicated issues the text was on one timezone, the voice on another timezone. the carrier has all the "time" zones. it turned out to be far more complicated than anybody anticipated. martha: the chairman said there is no reason to believe the chain suffered a mechanical malfunction. ntsb is expected to issue the
6:15 am
formal report on this very complicated case over the next several months. >> to the israeli people, i understand your concerns and i understand your fears but what is the worst scenario is the path that we're currently on in which there's no nuclear resolution and ultimately we have no way tot iran has a weapon or not. sanctions won't do it. military solution is temporary. the deal that we're negotiating potentially takes a nuclear weapon off the table for 20 years. the. bill: there is a lot in that comment there. president obama talking with israeli news programs saying even with a deal he probably will not stop iran from getting a nuclear bomb as critics slam him for publicly tossing aside the military option. is that the case? senator bob corker, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. back with us in "america's newsroom." senator, good morning. thank you for coming back to our program right here. a military solution will not fix
6:16 am
it even if the united states participates. is as they say in tennessee is that smart pool? >> no, bill, we've known for a long time through not only our intelligence agencies but those from some of our friends that the iranians have never believed that under this president sy there would be a -- presidency there would be a military option. as they negotiate they are negotiating with a country they believe will not do that at least during the time this president is in office. this is not really news to us that following this closely. bill: that might be but you do still throw all the cards on the table? the critics say that is what the president did. do you think he did that in that comment? >> he spoke about something the iranians already believe to be true. no, actually, i think they have been saying a lot of things. every time they khamenei supreme leader comes up with objection or secretary kerry and mitigate that negotiating publicly saying we can get
6:17 am
around that. so no, i don't think there is a backstop here if you will. there is not a person sitting there that is that backstop. that is why bill, it was so important for us to pass a bill that we passed in congress over the last three or four weeks while congress will be that backstop, i wish it could be even stronger than it is. because when you get to the point where a p5-plus-one have agreed to a deal, it is very difficult at that point to undo. we're having hearings this month. i talked to off-line to share with you last night we met with scientists in classified setting about laboratories and our secretary of energy to make sure congress really understands all the details of this, can raise concerns. i give you one right now. we know there is already an agreement relative to the iranian nuclear development program beginning in year 10. when the president said in that clip that you played that they can not get a nuclear weapon for 20 years, that is contrary to what he said on npr right after
6:18 am
the april 2nd agreement where in essence you said you go down to almost zero time in year 13. we're trying to get our hands on this document we know exists, it is not signed but it is our understanding what we agreed to will be the iranian nuclear development program. all of us want to see what our administration agreed to there. there is a lot of details bill, that are important. bill: certainly is. what you are saying then, senator, whether year one or year 12, iran is going nuclear, is that right? >> well, i think there is, there is great concern on years zero through 10 about covert development especially research and development. and how do we prevent that then there is significant concerns afterrer. >> tern when we have this agreed-to program that they can enter into. what does that say? where are they going to be? so all of those things are important. bill for us to have gone through this as long as we've gone through it and in 10 years iran potentially have the ability to get a nuclear weapon,
6:19 am
10 years is nothing. i've been in the senate now eight 1/2 years. seems like yesterday. so again we want to make sure this is something that will stand the test of time. i appreciate you covering this and making the american people aware of some of the concerns that we have but back to your original question. look the iranians have never ever, ever, thought this president would use the military option ever. i think they have shown that it feels like they're doing everything they can to race to a deal instead of sitting back and letting iran come to them. on this program before, seems like we're marching towards their position. bill: one more point here. you met with these nuclear scientists last night to get a gauge when this happens. during the commercial break you describe yourself being nervous after meeting them. back that up. >> well, there are just so many technicalities. i mean, bill, are we going to be able to actually get into their military sites? is there going to be some
6:20 am
committee approach which allows iran to move the ball? are they going to shift their 20% enriched out? are they going to downgrade,down blend the 5% enriched you uranium -- uranium that they have. there are questions that still have not been answered. unless iran agrees to all issues we raised they will not enter into a deal. seems like so many red lines we've moved. this month again bill, we're spending inordinant amount of time understanding every detail that is important in a nuclear agreement. we hope the questions we ask will be a brace-up if if you will for negotiators themselves. bill: june 30, a deadline coming up, four weeks away. senator we're in contact with you and others. bob corker, republican from tennessee. thank you. >> a lot to think about. roller coasters are supposed to give you a good fun scare but passengers on one ride got a
6:21 am
whole lot more than they bargained for. we'll tell what happened. bill: well-teal you about the foia request, freedom of information act basically getting documents from the government well, information is supposed to be free or sometimes easy but should be anyway but journalists telling congress this has become a big washington joke. >> it sends a signal to those men and women on the front lines trying to do their jobs, hiring to do it, don't you dare send that to mr. lee polled. don't you dare give that to new york city times. how do you dare talk to "newsweek.." heaven forbid you give mr. anderson records about his captors because we wouldn't want to offend people that kidnapped mr. anderson.
6:24 am
6:25 am
a roller coaster known as the smyler. so much for that. a car carrying 16s collided with an empty car that was not moving. the ride has since been suspended. martha: fox news alert. we're watching a hearing underway on government transparency. the house oversight committee hearing media professionals explain how they believe government agencies formally botch their formal requests for information. >> i filed eight foia lawsuits on behalf "the times." much of that was not about disagreement legal issues but in response to unreasonable delays by agencies. it's a violation of foia to interpret exemption 7-a the way it has. the fbi continues to be in routine and flagrant violation of the law. >> federal bureaucrats paid tax dollars to act on our behalf, routinely break the law with impunity treating public material as if it is confidential secret information to be controlled by a chosen
6:26 am
few. they withhold it from the public its rightful owners, while sharing it with select partners. >> the larger problem that we face though right now that our role of objectively collecting and reporting the facts has been increasingly and aggressively blocked. >> how about that? joining me, mike warren, staff writer for "the weekly standard." mike good to have you here this morning. >> good morning martha. martha: these are interesting and forceful arguments. we've seen these things get slow-walked time after time and reporters do have a right to information that is on the books and is public and often, basically they just try to wear you down with delay. >> right. it is not just reporters. it is watchdog groups but actually any american under the law who can file these things. we have to be fair though. this hasn't started in this administration. it has been going on white a while. talk with reporters who deal with foia requests. it has been on the up tick for 20 years in terms of slow
6:27 am
walking or stalling or using these excuses. you kind of can't blame them. there is a weird twisted logic if you're blocking this if you're the white house or an administration. that is more scrutiny. more people are looking at your communications and how you're making decisions. you might have to actually be held accountable for what you're doing in government. i guess if it weren't for this law, we would never know anything. this is a real problem. it is only been ramped up extremely by the obama administration and, you know, good for con dress to actually be delving into it. but there has to be more done. >> say it has been ramped up under the obama administration which i think a lot of people believe but is that a fact in your opinion? >> well, you can just look at numbers and see how much more slowly these requests are being granted or the number of redactions that are being added. there is one particular exception that journalists are citing. called, 8.
6:28 am
about, which essentially if that a government document or decision had to do with decision-making on some kind of government policy, then that can be excepted from a foia request. you talk to any journalist deals with that stuff that they say that has been abused over the last five, six seven years. martha: they can slap the label on anything. this matter has to do with decision-making. therefore you can't know it. is there any move afoot in congress congress is not subjected to foia requests is there any move there to say this has to be reasonable limit? this can last six to 12 months but they absolutely must give an answer? >> this is big part of what this jason chaffetz-led hear something about of getting that out there putting pressure on maybe getting better limitation on this. this is something that's that is really dogged the administration the way they treated the press in particular.
6:29 am
you think about the way that the justice department has gone off some journalist including one at this network. martha: that's right. >> the white house press doesn't really have any sources within the white house on this the white house really closed themselves off from reporters. it is really only controlled, intentional leaks. i think this is a real problem for an administration that came in and said we're going to be the most transparent here. martha: that's true. they used to be acceptance of fact it is responsibility to share information with the press. there were times people didn't like doing it. that relationship was an understood things. there was responsibility on part of the white house to do so. that seems to have changed dramatically over these years. maybe over the last 20, as you say. michael, thanks very much. good to see you. >> thanks martha. bill: there was new reaction after a fatal shooting after reported connection with isis. police gunning down police say may have been radicalized online by isis. we'll talk to the chairman of the homeland security committee,
6:30 am
texas republican mike mccaul about that in a bit. martha: with the soccer world in the midst of a massive corruption scandal, the head of the soccer's body announcing a very big change. >> translator: although the members of fifa reelected me as president this mandate does not seem to be supported by everybody in the world of football. there's just one last thing to do: check with truecar. car prices change all the time for all kinds of reasons. but truecar pulls in the latest, most accurate data so i can be sure if i'm getting a
6:33 am
martha: a second suspect is set to be charged today in connection with a potential plot to kill police officers in boston. is a look at the video of his arrest. he was brought out of his house yesterday afternoon after a fascinating and frightening day in the boston area. he apparently expressed interest in isis and their call to arms to attack authorities which we heard a lot about across the country in recent months of the his arrest is connected to a another suspect who was shot and killed by the boston police yesterday. his name was usaama rahim. he came out of a cvs threatening
6:34 am
police with about an eight-inch military-style knife you see on the right-hand side of your screen. he was watched quite closely by the joint terrorism task force in boston. he had been under 24 hour surveillance for weeks according to reports. they say both men may have been radicalized by isis online. that is threat taken up by the homeland security committee set to get underway in a half an hour from now. we're happy to have with us texas republican mike mccaul the chairman of committee and main driver behind this discussion. mr. chairman welcome. thanks for being on the program this morning. >> thanks, martha. thanks for having me. martha: what did we learn from the investigation? i think this is good to point out this was joint terrorist task force operation. since the tsarnaev brothers we've been looking for greater cooperation with all of the law enforcement people in boston. >> we'll hear from the fbi this
6:35 am
morning and homeland security. this was a success in my judgment. we've been moner toking individuals who have been, basically terrorism has gone viral. it is all over the internet. what we're finding are operatives in syria, recruiters that have sent directives or calls to arms, calls to arms to people in the united states to activate them like sleeper cells. in this case the individual is going to attack the police. we've seen directives to attack military installations and also police officers. i think the good news is, i think the fbi and homeland were on top of this one. martha: this seems to demonstrate what is possible. you know, they were on to these guys. they were watching them. do you have any idea how they were watching them? were they seeing their internet activity? how did this operation get pulled off? >> these guys were under 24/7 both physical and technical surveillance. my understanding is that it was triggered by a lot of this
6:36 am
internet communication that that we picked up. again we're seeing a lot of this. remember people these top recruiters in syria can have thousands of followers in the united states if they try to activate. again this is kind of a new concern wave of terror we're trying to deal with. it is very hard to stop because there are so many americans following these twitter accounts that come out of syria. the garland case is another example of that. martha: yes it is. this is what i find fascinating because we're having a discussion about the nsa and they have lost perhaps temporarily their ability to collect bulk records. this seems to be coordination between police officers on the ground and the fbi in this joint terrorist task force operation and they don't seem to have had any restrictions on their ability to get access to these guys. is that, you know, do we need this nsa bulk collection if we have the kind of coordination we saw this case? >> we passed the usa freedom act
6:37 am
which will transfer the records from the government back to the private sector like what i used to do when i was federal prosecutor. i tell you the one concern we'll hear from the fbi today these isis extremists are very sophisticated on social media. they know how to jump out of different platforms. they change their twitter accounts almost daily. and then they also go into what is called dark space, securecom. that is very difficult for to us monitor even if we have coverage by say, a warrant or wiretap they can jump into a message box and then to another platform that is called dark space that we can not cover. we don't know what those communications are. i think we're doing to hear today from homeland security and fbi, that is probably biggest concern is what we can't monitor and what we don't know and what is occurring in the united states right now. martha: yeah. understood. but in terms of the warrants that would be needed in a case like this because as you say they were following their online
6:38 am
activity. i understand they would have to gotten a warrant. grow to the court, we're suspicious about these two guys. they got a warrant they needed in that case, correct? >> right. look there is also activity over the internet that is in the public domain, that is open to anybody that could be monitored. then if it is getting more into another platform than a warrant would have to be executed and so that's what occurs here. if they go into dark space we can not pick up that coverage. martha: which is a real problem. you're right, we have to deal with that. want to let people know, david wright who we showed at the beginning of this segment, maybes first appearance at boston courthouse at 3:30 this afternoon. i want to get you to respond to one more thing. that is the abysmal report we got this week on the tsa. what is your reaction to the fact that they got 96% of the these weapons through the tsa in this operation? >> i'm getting classified
6:39 am
briefing from the inspector general this afternoon. i'm highly disturbed. these red teams are very good at what they do. they usually spot vulnerabilities and expose shempp them. but a 95% unsuccessful raid is unacceptable within the tsa given the high threat environment that's out there. we had a threat to five airliner jets just this week that turned out to be a hoax but we know that threat of nonmetallic i.d.s on airlines to blow up airplanes is still very real. the idea that weapons are getting through and potentially explosive devices getting through, whether human error or technical is unacceptable and i will be holding oversight hearings on the issue. martha: very clear from everything we're learning they're trying to pull something off here, even at a local law enforcement level as we saw in boston or airlines as we saw in the other plot this week. you have a lot on your plate, chairman. we thank you very much much for spending time with us today. we'll see you soon.
6:40 am
>> thank you martha. bill: fifa president sepp blatter is out. the five-term president announcing his resignation only days after his re-election as corruption scandal rocks soccer's governing body. greg palkot watching that out of london. good day to you. what was the reason given for him stepping down now? >> reporter: bill this is very big deal, as of nfl commissioner roger goodell times 10 would step down because of possible wrongdoing. sepp blatter, head of fifa, that is international body that runs the world cup soccer games, made dramatic announcement yesterday from his switzerland base, reports from the u.s. justice department they were also investigating him and people close to him on corruption charges. this all comes after he was re-elected by the fifa board last friday for yet another four-year term. but this also critically comes after nine fifa officials and
6:41 am
four corporate executives were hauled in last week on charges again, coming from the u.s., on various elements of raketeering, bribery, money laundering and fraud, amounting to $150 million changing hands in association with the awarding of those important world cup games. today the international policing body, interpol, announced an arrest warrant, red list of those, to make sure these guys don't go on the lamb. we're looking at a lot more probing and a lot more housekeeping inside of fifa. and a lot of people very thankful that the u.s. in this case stepped in on matters that came across their soil and use their institutions from time to time. we'll see where it goes. bill: greg palkot from london. thank you greg. martha? martha: the president made a strong claim about the u.s. respect level in the world but is he missing what is really going on in the world right now? big question on a lot of people's minds now. >> he wants credit. when things go wrong it is still

check your broker with brokercheck. >> what people don't remember when i came into office the united states in world opinion ranked below china and just barely above russia. and today once again the united states is the most respected country on earth, and part of that i think is because of the work that we did to re-engage the world and say that, we want to work with you as partners, with mutual interests and mutual respect. bill: so that's interesting. president obama saying under his leadership america is number one. florida congresswoman ileana ros-lehtinen responding and then some on greta last night. >> the ego of this president knows no bounds. is there anything that he won't take credit for? i mean the oceans are receding,
6:46 am
the planet is healing. now we're the world's most respected country even though he took it over, took over the presidency when we were down in the dumbs. this guy is revisionist when it comes to history. bill: so who is right in this argument? a lot to chew on it segment. alan colmes, host of alan colmes radio show, fox news contributor. mercedes schlapp former spokeswoman for president george w. bush. a lot on our plate mercedes. we're number one. we contacted the white house looking for the poll specifically which president is referring to there. there is one poll called reputation institute. had us number 22 behind brazil and singapore. i don't know where does this come from? >> i think the president lives in this idealistic cocoon where he is more concerned about trying to please his european friends as opposed to coming up with the best approach to how to lead in the world and how to really be involved in this

process. let's take his comment about the fact that he said about we're partnering with those with mutual interests. i'm sorry, i don't see mutual interests with the communist dictators in cuba where they're suppressing cuban people as opposed to president obama who basically not even dealing with the cuban dissidents. i think he is plainly wrong. he must be living in a bubble. bill: alan, russia, china isis -- >> russia, china, the fact we're opening the gateway to cuba, pardon me, is great idea. i give you numbers. >> without negotiation, alan. >> helps promote democracy in cuba. you want to do away with dictatorship you open up the floodgates. >> that really worked -- >> hang on just finish mercedes. here is global survey came out by pew just recently. 65% voiced affirmative action for the united states. 74% in africa. 66% in western europe. 66 in asia. 65 in latin america. these are far above numbers from
6:48 am
previous administrations. yes, i'm shocked to hear a republican congresswoman put down the president saying he is doing terrible job. bill: he said want to be liked there is whole debate on that. there is another question too apparently david axelrod gave an interview to jp updates.com which reports on israeli news and affairs. this is what he said about the president. he also recalled obama venting in moment of come testimony place, quote i think i'm closest thing to a jew that ever sat in this office. for people to say i'm anti-israel or even worse, anti-semitic, it hurts. mercedes? >> well, i believe -- bill: where does this come from? >> i believe the jewish people in israel are not necessarily in favor of what president obama, his stand with israel because of the fact that he insults his leadership. the fact that he has this tense relationship with prime minister netanyahu. i just, so perplexed by his comments. he is probably one the of the
6:49 am
least jewish presidents that we have seen in our time. merely because of fact that he has defend, he continues to deal with iranians and speaker boehner once said, we don't even know if he thinks who is america's friend or who is america's enemy when we're dealing with israel and iran. bill: same interview axelrod point ad finger blaming netanyahu. where does this come from? most jewish president ever. >> look, this is the president that contributed hundred of millions of dollars to the iron dome. robert gates no democrat, has said that we have the best intelligence relationship with israel we've had in years. the first veto obama gave at the united nations was to go against anti-israel forces who didn't want settlements in the west bank which is opposite what happened during both bush administrations that had terrible relationships. george h.w. bush and -- they hated each other. to say we're not pro-israel is
6:50 am
ridiculous. bill: scared about what is it going on. i think i'm the closest thing to a jew that ever sat in this office. >> he looks good in a yamulke. bill: thank you a an. as we do all. thank you. 10 minutes before the hour. martha: breaking news coming out of boston and a terror plot we've been watching said to have been targeting police officers. we now know what they are planning to do. fox news confirmed it. breaking news, coming up next. wow. sweet new subaru, huh mitch? yep. you're selling the mitchmobile!?
6:51 am
man, we had a lot of good times in this baby. what's your dad want for it? ..like a hundred and fifty grand, two hundred if they want that tape deck. you're not going to tell your dad about the time my hamster had babies in the backseat, are you?! that's just normal wear and tear, dude. (vo) subaru has the highest resale value of any brand... ...according to kelley blue book ...and mitch. love. it's what makes a subaru a subaru.
6:53 am
martha: authorities in boston now confirming a horrifying plot. they have confirmed those details to fox news. we now believe that the two individuals, one of whom is now dead, the other who was arrested in everett, boston on the right-hand side of the your screen who will be in court this afternoon, that part of their plot here was to behead police officers.
6:54 am
we know from the police officers who were on the scene and with the joint terrorism task force they had that knife, the individual in the cvs parking lothat knife with him and it just goes to illustrate how how horrible and horrific the plans are of these individuals. and you know, the evidence is still looked at in terms of whether or not there was a direct isis investigation. there is discussion that they were radicalized online perhaps in these communities in boston where we saw the really most horrific attack play out on the streets of boston since 9/11 in the boston marathon bombings. we continue to stay on top of this story. this is the kind of thing we've been warned about time and time again in terms of military and police officers across this country being subject of threats and plots by members of isis or people inspired by them. very stunning detail and we'll continue to cover the story. bill: that is an eight-inch blade too so he wasn't messing around. this is the police working with the fbi.
6:55 am
that is part of the jttf, joint terrorist task force, borne out of the boston bombing and all criticism they took and since that time they have -- martha: give a lot of kudos for the jttf in boston the fact they uncovered this plot illustrates what you're talking about bill. we're getting more local coordination between people on the ground and fbi which was sorely missing in the boston marathon bombing case. that is good takeaway and those police officers are safer because of this. bill: here is more breaking news. fox houston has a shot in the air here, a television shot in the air of a man now barricaded by police. there is a police chase in houston, texas, a short time ago. the chase is over but the suspect is still in his car and is not cooperating. we've seen a police dog move in. there is a ambulance clearly there screen right and a number of patrol cars surrounding what we believe the suspect's car
6:56 am
that could be that dark suv. we can't confirm that. that is what we believe based on scene we're seeing here. we're waiting to see what comes of this. there is likely a conversation now, some communication between the authorities and this man and what he wants, what his intentions are. we don't know how long the chase lasts. we don't know if he made any demands or what led him to this particular spot in houston, texas. looks like a parking lot right? perhaps the a road next to it. the suspect is still in his car and not cooperating. martha: they release ad police dog on this suspect in the effort to get him to come out of the car after quite a chase on streets of houston. we'll give you more on that as we get it as well. bill: we're looking online with our affiliates in houston. when we get more we'll bring that to you next here on "america's newsroom."
6:59 am
7:00 am
a possible plot to behead police and david wright has been arrested and the officers were forced to shoot another man after lunging at the officers in the parking lot of a cvs with a hunting knife. >> it started here with the shooting of the man on the cvs. both men are said to have possibly been radicalized online. mike mccall last hour said this about that: >> basically, terrorism has gone viral. it is all over the internet. we are finding operatives in syria, recruiters that sent directives to people in the united states to activate them
7:01 am
like sleeper cells. in this case the individual attacks the police. we have seen directives to attack military operations and police officers and i think the fbi and homeland security were on top of this. >> catherine heritage is live. good morning. what more can you report? >> reporter: the boston police did fear an isis style execution and had the subject under 24 hour surveillance. the man carrying the eight inch knife was being tracked and approached for questions about a plot to target and execute police officers who he drew the knife and was shot. a second man has been arrested and appears in a boston federal court later today. the boston police commissioner is defending these extreme
7:02 am
measures. >> it is a difficult part of the job when we have to take a life but in these circumstances the fbi and the boston police did everything they could possibly do to get this individual to drop his knife and at some point we had to take his life unfortunately. >> reporter: we don't know this morning if the suspects are alleged to have been inspired by or directed to attack by isis. >> what do we expect to learn from the hearing? >> reporter: this brings together fbi and homeland security officials. the thing to watch for is the discussion the way american suspects are connecting with isis in syria and iraq and how these operatives are being redirected to encrypted forms of communication that allow them to essentially go dark to the fbi and other investigators. watt we expect to hear this morning and these investigators are having to look at the
7:03 am
operatives almost blind and deaf to the way they are being directed by isis in iraq and syria and what the investigators don't know is what is concerning them the most. >> i would imagine so. bleep -- documents are showing officials at the national archives were concerned that high level memos on hilary clinton's private server were thought going to be saved especially the benghazi ones. the chief record keeper at the archives wrote this there are plans afoot for clinton taking her records from state to little rock. we need to discuss what we know and how we should delicately go about learning more about
7:04 am
clinton's departure from state. chris sty wall is here. chris, you know this is the librarian of all of this information who was thinking about this before leaving the state department. she has a home severer and it is our job to make sure we have this stuff. this is revealing. >> and delicately. don't upset anything but it seems as if someone is breaking all of the rules in a highly sensitive post so inquire. when you talk about what happened happen to anybody else who wasn't the former first lady of the united states and wasn't already then the democratic nominee for the next presidential cycle. you talk about anyone else. may we privy and inquire about your home server? and that is the problem.
7:05 am
everybody failed to hold hillary accountable. >> sounds like they were afraid of her. >> and sounds like the state department was a political space where she could operate with her advisors and no one was present or willing to stand up and say madam secretary what you are doing is wrong and i will not abide to it. >> trey gowdy's investigation on benghazi continues. he will hear from sidney blumenthal today. >> the fox news capital hill team found out it will not be held today but they will hear from sidney blumenthal in the future. >> there were communications from sidney blumenthal who was not supposed to be working for
7:06 am
the state department but was a friend talking to a former cia operative and passing that information along to hillary. so there is a lot they want to know about sidney blumenthal and his communication with the state. this case of sweden is one thing we want to get in. and the money bill clinton made. $26 million given through the government to clinton. quick thought on that. >> that is some volume of money. $750,000 for a single speech. that must have been quite a speech bill clinton gave and it happened at the same time they lobbied hilary clinton's state department to keep iran's sanction from affecting their major telecom company erickson.
7:07 am
fox houston here with a picture of a police chase ending with a suspect held up in his car and not cooperating. jonathan hunt has been watching this. what happened here? >> reporter: this began with a car chase we don't know what prompted cops to chase that man in the car. but the chase only lasted ten minutes and then there was this standoff and the person in the car was seen throwing things out of the window. the police were able to persuade him to leave the vehicle and at some point shots were fired. we don't know who shot first exactly what happened but the man was then on the ground and we are being told by local
7:08 am
reporters the cops have placed a sheet over that man. we do not know his condition. he is obviously injured in some way. we don't know if he is dead or alive and we don't know whether he shot himself or was hit by shots fired by police. it is an ongoing situation. we know a ten minute car chase, a standoff and now a man down on the ground covered by a sheet according to local reporters. >> and apparently that suspect was throwing something out the window repeatedly and officers drew their weapons. jonathan hunt, thank you for the update on what is happening in houston. lawmakers are bracing for a supreme court decision on obamacare. if the court rules against the law in this case the federal marketplace may have to shutdown and that would force americans to turn to their own state for
7:09 am
coverage coverage. but the majority of states don't have an online exchange to help people. rich is live obviously this is the latest development and it could be the latest ruling that will force a huge change in obamacare. what does it mean? >> millions of americans would lose billions of dollars the government gives them to by health insurance. the law says credits are available to those requesting them with exchanges made by the state. 34 states use federal exchanges and if they are ruled not to be able to do that 6.3 million would lose is $1.7 billion a year. states using the federal plans are working on plans if the supreme court rules their citizen citizens cannot receive federal credits. holding a meeting to
7:10 am
discuss this as citizens in their state use the federal website. the options are likely unworkable. and in pennsylvania the governor, tom wolf submitted an application to set-up a state-base system to make sure his state is still eligible. >> state verses federal and a potential mistake the court may find in that law. thank you rich. former florida governor jeb bush going on the defensive. >> people have given up. and he is saying things are better. mark me down as no. >> is the one-time front runner taking the gloves off? and there is this also: >> today, once again the united states is the most respected country on earth, and part of that i think, is because of the work we did to reinengage the
7:11 am
world. >> president obama is claiming the united states is the world's most respected country. by what measure? we are not sure. we will talk to dave bluff about if that is a true statement. >> and a car sliced in half with a train. we will tell how you this ended up. >> the impact i could not hear or see for a second. i was dazed and out of it. but all i could think about was by girls and jumped out of the car for them. when i turned around the car wasn't there.
7:15 am
>> shocking video of a crash in florida. watch the train slamming into the tracks right there. that train spent the vehicle in two. two people inside the car only had minor injuries but the car banged up beyond belief. the father said the teens are relieved the train didn't derail. >> we didn't want it to happen at all but maybe he will learn and slow down and not cross when the arms are down. >> amtrak says no one on the train was hurt. that is a tough lesson to learn and i will gladly write the $300 ticket if you come out of that. >> they are very lucky.
7:16 am
and a huge lesson that will make an impression on them for a while. some are reporting that jeb bush is getting testy during an interview he did with our own neal yesterday. as new polls show he is slipping out of first place according to this one. the former florida governor hasn't declared but neither as governor scott walker who is tied with rand paul who has declared first place. these are all of the folks expected to run. jeb bush and mark rubio in second place. but jeb bush says he believes his record is still going to be strong for him even without running for eight years. >> it has been a while since a governor has cut taxes every year totaling $19 billion, been a while for the governor to drop the workforce by 13,000 for
7:17 am
many states to go to aaa bond rating status it has been a wile to have the prosperity we have had. >> ed rollins and dean tripi are here. welcome, gentlemen. ed he sees the competition as the other governors and wants to to be clear although he has been out of office for a while he thinks his record holds up well against any of them. would you describe this as testy? >> i think he is a little testy. i think he started off as the nominee and he is no longer that and has to fight a difficult battle. he is not doing well in the polls but very well with fundraising. he is not a declared candidate running the funny money putting the money in the super pac.
7:18 am
you have a bunch of governors with strong records. this isn't about the past. you can remind people what you did in florida six to eight years ago but -- >> it does matter in terms of reform. if you can prove you have cut taxes and that you have been you know come out with a stronger economy. >> i am just telling you. there is a bunch of them with the same kind of record and they will all argue i was the best governor in texas florida, and even new york. but i think the country today is about the future; who can take us in a different direction and have a serious plan about where we go and what you did as governor was a good preliminary step but you will not get elected based on the fact you are a good governor of florida. >> i see what you mean. >> let's look a little more at the interview from yesterday.
7:19 am
>> the way things are going right now florida for example, you and mark rubio, the looser is done. >> you are so processed driven and focused on economic policy. i don't buy any of the horse race stuff. this is a long process. if i become a candidate i will win if i show my heart, advocate ideas that give people the sense they can rise up and if i share i have the leadership skills to make it. >> joe what are you hearing in that? >> i think ed is right.
7:21 am
critics of late. >> we want to have more jobs and faster economic growth. we have to trade and we have to open markets to our products. that is why you need trade promotion authority. >> paul ryan and joining us to talk about why he discusses the trade deal backed by the white house and opposed by most democrats. plus this: some scary moments. that maybe set his car on fire on purpose and the outcoming coming up. t every insurance company understands the life behind it.
7:22 am
7:25 am
a man in texas set his car on fire during a confrontation with the police. this is a bit disturbing. >> oh my gosh. wow. >> suspect apparently called 911 to say he planned to light his car on fire with himself inside and used a cigarette lighter to ignight -- ignite the flames. the police were able to pull him away. a very disturbed individual and a big scare. >> the only reason i put myself out there and speak to is bring my husband home and bring the father of my children home.
7:26 am
he is an american citizen sentenced to eight years and the iranian government said he would add on more because he is refusing to deny this christian faith. >> that is the wife of a man who has been in prison since 2012 in iran. her and the family of many others are pushing for the release ahead of a looming deadline that is four weeks ago. good morning to you. it is good to have you back on the program. i was struck by what you said. i have been carrying a deep excruciating pain knowing my husband continues to suffer another day at one of the worst prisons in the world. did you help your husband's cause yesterday? >> i think i did. it was a good meeting with the congress and foreign affairs committee. they will look at the final deal with iran and they are the ones
7:27 am
that define foreign policy with iran. so it was good to have their support. one of the other things you said is we only have a few weeks left. why do you believe that? >> this is the best time to get the americans out. either a deal is made or not i think it will get much harder once we walk away from the table. this is the time we are sitting across the table. i don't want to walk away without securing the release of my husband or other americans. >> you are aware of what the spokesman of the white house said? we will not allow these american citizens to be used for bargaining. >> i don't want to bargain for them. i think we need to demand iran releases them. if they want to enter into a better relationship with the united states and the rest of the world they have to prove
7:28 am
they can be trusted. how can we trust them when they are holding four americans host hostage and my in jail for four years because of his christian faith. before any further discussion they need to release them. >> you met with the president at the end of this year? >> yes, he was in boise. >> did that give you a sense of optimism. if it did, what now, six months later? >> it did. it showed it was an important issue for him. my son asked him to bring his daddy home on his birthday and woke up in march and expected daddy to be home which didn't happen. i think as other family members mentioned the nuclear deal has made his harder. that is the focus and priority and unfortunately there might be
7:29 am
americans left behind in the process. >> you think it is harder to win his release? >> it has. this is the first time we are talking with iran and we have americans who have been held by iran longer than any time even when there was no diplomatic relationship. americans have been held two or two and a half years and now we are up to three years for my husband and four and eight years for the others. we are talking with iran and it seems to get worst. >> lawmakers passed a resolution calling for the release of these people and we hope that is the case. keep pushing. thank you from washington. >> president obama says america is now more respected in the world since he took office. but his critics say they don't agree with that. we will talk to the man who helped president obama win the white house twice. you see him in the picture. >> and a fan coming home from
7:31 am
this is judy. judy is 65 years old. her mortgage payment is $728 a month. that's almost $9,000 a year now judy doesn't think that she'll be able to retire until her mortgage is fully paid off. this is mike. mike is also 65 years old. his monthly mortgage payment was $728 a month. now mike thought he would have to work for another 12 years until his mortgage was paid off. and then mike heard that a reverse mortgage may help him. he called one reverse mortgage to get the details. mike retired immediately after getting his one reverse mortgage loan. maybe you too can benefit from a reverse mortgage. call one reverse mortgage now and find out if you qualify.
7:32 am
they'll send you an information guide that includes all the details and the stories of mike and others. a reverse mortgage... is a mortgage with no required monthly payments. it was created for homeowners 62 or older so they can continue to afford and own the home they love. many one reverse mortgage clients find they can retire sooner, do more the things they love or simply put more money in the bank. a reverse mortgage could change your retirement and your life. i examined my finances and i said, there is no reason why i shouldn't retire today. 10, 12 years earlier than i had anticipated. in the first year, his cash flow savings totaled $8,736. after 5 years, it will be over $40,000. it really is worth a call to find out if a reverse mortgage can help you too. call one reverse mortgage now and ask for your free
7:33 am
guide. a man was taken into custody in connection with a terror plot making his first appearance in boston. david wright was arrested at his home in everate, massachusetts yesterday. we believe the plot was an effort to behead police officers in boston. you remember that yesterday we started getting news in the morning that a suspect was shot and killed in a cvs parking lot. it is believed the two men were
7:34 am
working together. bill daley is on the phone with us. what do you make of the plot? >> the joint terrorist task force had the individuals in their sights and in fact under 24 hour surveillance. we are not sure how they picked up on it. it could have been monitoring of tweets or messages going out that connected them to the plots or threats of beheading police officers and taken very seriously seriously. we know one of the suspects started waving a knife they felt threatened by that and asked him to drop the weapon he didn't and they took action to mitigate that exposure. >> the fbi and local law enforcement officers were on to this plot and worked together sharing information to take care of this guy and bring the other one in. but it always illustrates bill
7:35 am
that we are seeing an increase in this threat. and we know this is something they want to pull off. it is scary stuff. >> exactly right. it is one of the things that we know law enforcement is very much concerned about. it is about the radicalization of individuals by isis and others. but isis right now who are both of a campaign out of the middle east and syria as far as other follow followers here picking up on it. if those people are being encouraged here in our own country to commit acts we are concerned about. as we know in the past, even here in new york city where events took place last year where someone was encouraged to attack police officers with an ax. you don't know who you are reaching when you invoke these people to do these things and what acts they will take. the fbi and joint terrorism task
7:36 am
force took it seriously and gladly so because it seems there is a lot more behind the story. >> bill thank you. people don't remember when i came into the office the united states in world opinion ranked below china and just barely above russia. and today once again the united states is the most respected country on earth. >> that comment getting a lot of reaction. president obama remarking on what he believes could be his legacy after eight years in the white house saying his effort to to reengage the world with partners with mutual interest says we are number one. the vice president of uber and white house senior advisor is here live from san francisco. we have been trying to get you on and now we have you so good morning to you in california. what do you think about the comment about most respected?
7:37 am
where is that coming from? he looked for the poll and contacted the white house and couldn't find had specific poll he is referring to. >> right. bill now i am retired from politics and out of practice about commenting on it. but i think that is true. i think certainly i travel around the world a lot now and i think compared to where we were six or seven years, i think they see america is still the strongest leader in the world, but doing it in a more cooperative way and winding down wars and i think the iran deal is something that is largely supported around the world. so i think our position around the world has been strengthened. >> russia, iran, isis syria, red line, all of that hasn't been great. what i think the critics heard in that comment is he wants to be liked rather than affective. do you understand that? >> yeah, well i mean i worked in
7:38 am
the white house and we never made a decision about being liked. i think he made very effective decisions in terms of iran iraq, afghanistan, we have a lot of trek out there but has done a good job of waging a continuing fight against terrorist leaders. but it is a complicated world out there. you will have critics out there obvious obviously but i think the decisions he made was what was in the best interest of the american people and protecting this country of building our alliances because this is a global battle against terrorism. >> i think you will agree history is the legacy here. now it is 2016 hilary clinton found this this morning, an abc poll about if she is honest and
7:39 am
trustworthy. 52% found she wasn't and 41% agreed she was. what does she need to do to fight back on those numbers? >> one of the things i enjoy being out of politics the most is not responding oo the poll of the day. this stuff bounces around. >> what do you think about how she is doing? >> well you know again i am not falling it that closely day to day. i think she is off to a good start and engaging with voters and small business people. my understanding is she is come out with a formal announcement and that is important. every candidate has to say this is why i am seeking this office and why i think i am the best person to lead. it is a fascinating race. i don't have the luxury of following it closely. but the clear frontrunner on the democratic side and the republican side is a fascinating race where there is almost a
7:40 am
couple dozen running and none enjoying much support at the moment. it will be fascinating to watch that race shake out. >> i wish we had more time. let's talk about uber. i think it is an american story that is unique. you have detractors but the growth has been phenomenal. what do you think people watching this needs to understand about the way the sharing economy is changing their lives? well >> the company just started five short years ago this week we are in 300 cities and 58 countries. let's talk about in the united states new york, chicago, los angeles miami people want more transportation options and the decision they are making -- there is more competition with taxi now and that is good. most people who chose to use uber are not choosing to not use
7:41 am
a taxi but choosing not to drive. cutting down on drunk and distracted driving. 20,000 people driving on the platform in chicago. a lot of income and a lot of jobs. people want to do everything at the press of a button. we bank, we do research we stay in touch they want to get transportation. if we want to cut down on the backup we will have to provide more mobility. i think the uber debate is looked upon narrowing as a stagnant market and it is people who use taxis but that is not what is happening. >> i think it is interesting when it comes to cars and renting homes and clothes it is a shift in the economy really and it is going to be very interesting to see how the plays out against the standard model
7:42 am
we have watched for 50 years. david, thank you. we will talk politics next time. >> there is a trade deal that is in the works and making very strange political bed fellows. many democrats are against it. president obama likes the deal. and so does republican congressman paul ryan who is trying to get his side on board. he has been pushing the bill true the house and he joins us live to explain why coming up. and this: >> climb out the back seat. the back window is open. get out of the car. >> never a dull moment at the boat ramp. we will tell you how this happened.

7:46 am
against last time; president obama. the chairman of the house, ways and means committee paul ryan working to get democrats and republicans on his side and joins me now. great to have you with us this morning. >> good to be here. >> does it feel odd you and the president are on the same page in wanting to get this past? >> the joke iut to friends in congress is a broken clock is right twice a day. but with hadhen the president agrees with your policy take it. the deal with this trade promotion authority is different than the fast track. the president goes through and passes up and down. we are doing it the opposite of that way and putting congress in charge. it is because we don't trust the instruction and want to confirm them to work within congress'
7:47 am
