10:01 am
>> history in the making 50 years ago today. >> okay watching again, as the first american astronaut steps out in space. it's all "happening now". >> and we begin with a fox news alert. a news conference under way in boston as news emerges in a plot targeting police officers and that new's conference under way now. let's listen in. and that is. i am going to defer to the police on the exact sequence of the event. i can talk about my reaction and i will let them talk about. we'll let them.
10:02 am
>> commissioner, the question was raised by the media corps. that is the question on the table. >> i can talk. we can finish. with me special agent boston and vince leasy here and i want to thank the clergy and everyone who came to today's meeting. today's meeting was all about pulling the community together. i think when we had an officer- involved shooting a month ago, i made it clear the protocol would be followed then and here. we did that. we had muslim community and clergy and all of the denominations and elected
10:03 am
officials and naacp. and the idea was to be transparent. and because of the nature of the information. and that is great detail and as we said yesterday. this was an investigation that was ongoing and required 24- 7 surveillance of the individual in question at about seven time time 18. our officers went out there to only question the individual and because the level of our concern rose to the level that we needed to question him. i think we never anticipated what his reaction would be. and that he would pull out obviously a military comboif and approach the officers. and i think what we had seen in the video, was the officers
10:04 am
walking up to the suspect in question, no weapon being drawn just to speak to the individual. at that point, the video clearly show 4 or 5 officers back tracking away from the suspect as he's coming at them. and the weapons, clearly by the officer's actions were back stepping as the individual comes toward him. at some point, when the suspect gets close enough to cause imminent harm to the officer, that the officer discharged his weapon, both the fbi and boston both discharged the individual and he was hit three times and he passed away. the reason we spoke today because there was a lot of the misinformation about us and the individual at the bus stop and shot in the back.
10:05 am
it was sort of calm down the emotions and to explain to our community partners that this is what happened and the fbi, the da they are both going to do the investigations on the use of force. and at this time we give them whatever information we could and we had the video and we made it chlor to release the video and that dispels some of the rumors and some of the tensions that might build, i think we we laid it out for them and i hope they appreciate that. and that will be our policy. >> we do appreciate it. >> and again, there is some information, we can't talk about. it is classified at this time. and why would 4 or 5 officers needed to question him? >> all i can say, again, this guy required 24- 7 surveillance,
10:06 am
we thought the threat was severe enough so we approached him. we never expected for it to happen. i can't go in to anything more than it was a very serious threat and that's why they didn't take it lightly. >> (inaudible) >> i can't comment on that. >> the only thing i can add. the commissioner made a comment about the community coming together. this is not our first time. i wanted to commend the commissioner and district attorney's office and special agent lesie.
10:07 am
and bringing the attorney and civil right's organizations together. it sends a strong message to the city commonwealth and nation. we sit down in the table and talk about the issue and see the evidence that is available, we can relay out this is not something that happens every day. i want to commend commissioner evans for taking that kind of a leadership role that speaks to where the city of boston is as relating to these kinds of incidents. >> what was your impression with the officers were backing up and this suspect was going forward? >> based on the video. and that was 150 percent. and there is an approach.
10:08 am
and they were not backing up what i saw. >> and that is an accurate statement. the only reason we can't go beyond that the district attorney has to do his job and determine whether or not it was a justifiable shoot and that is kind of like where we are. (inaudible) it is not appropriate for us to go into that line. that is part of the investigation. i think the district attorney has to do his job and tell us where when why, and how. and that will take time for the evidence and surveillance. i am a forensic files kine of a guy, they have to enhance the video so they can so all of the things they need to transpire for him to do his report.
10:09 am
(inaudible) >> say that again? >> is the video clear to as what happen? >> i think the video is clear, but it is distant, but the fact is you cannot recognize who is in the video per se. you can so the silhouettes. we know the officers and suspect et cetera but that needs to be determined by the district attorney's role whether or not it was a justifiable shoot. >> was it military style? >> i will not answer that question, i think that is what the investigation will determine. >> i looked at the video and i will let the investigation tell you what was in his hand and where it was and what happened out there. i am not law enforcement, i am a community. >> that's the third time you asked me that question.
10:10 am
(inaudible) >> the fbi investigation, i will not comment and i don't know if he can at this time? >> we can't comment on the pending investigation and i can't say whether or not anything that happen was or was not relating to what happened here. >> is it connected to the incident here in boston (inaudible) >> again, we are not going to comment on pending investigation. what i want to talk about is something that the police commissioner brought up and this is a bit unusual, right? >> this is a step forward perhaps than what you have seen from law enforcement in the past the last police shooting decision we put the video out there to community leaders and let them make their judgment on
10:11 am
it. we ordinary would not release video until the full investigation is done. that can take many many months and that creates a lot of rumors and we decided to take the unprecedented step if you will. you don't see this in the country but it is important to let the community leaders look at it and make their own judgment. you question everybody in the room to ask them what they saw. as darnel williams said the most important thing to do is let us do our work. you will not stop yours. but it is important to get to the bottom of what happened and please give us the opportunity, thank you. (inaudible) >> so there you heard it from the boston police and community leaders. they showed a videotape recording of the shooting of
10:12 am
a man who had been under surveillance, happen in suburban boston yesterday. the guy was wanted or under surveillance in connection with what was thought to be a domestic terrorism plot when an fbi agent and a boston police officer approached him a say he pulled out a knife and came at them with it and each officer fired shot and ended his life. originally his family said he was shot in the back and talking on the phone at the time he was killed, but according to the community officer and community leaders that saw the tape that does not pan out. our chief intelligence corspentond catherine herige has more. >> reporter: we heard consistently since the shooting yesterday morning is that the suspect was under 24- hour surveillance. what that means, they were subject to the special
10:13 am
surveillance group by the fbi or fsg. this is a group that is only deployed by the bureau only on a specific threat. it is labor intensive and cost. and the fbi had significant evidence at this stage to believe that the subject was a imminent threat to u.s. persons. that dove tails with the testimony on capitol hill this morning from the ct counter terrorism division and fbi and asked about boston they took the steps they did because the individual appeared to going from thinking of an attack to being operational. and taking the necessary steps to carry out some kind of plot. to decode it the fbi had significant evidence that warranted the use of 24- hour
10:14 am
surveillance and in this case that is the ccg, jon. >> catherine, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> the obama administration dishing out new rules for raising meat and poultry and what farmers have to do differently next year.

10:17 am
and jumbo shrimp in captain morgan barbecue glaze. or the ultimate island seafood feast, with tender crab wood-grilled lobster and two island-inspired flavors of jumbo shrimp. because a summer without tropical flavors might as well be winter. this escape is too good to miss so...don't. >> the fda taking aim at new bugs and the rowels will be going in to the effect in the end of 2016, that's when farmer ares will start to get prescriptions for drugs that are domed medically important for humans. experts say the overuse of antibiotics is partly the rise in super bugs. >> there is a new potential set back for obama care to tell you
10:18 am
about. the administration met the goal of 9 million sign ups, but that is only after revising the original goal downward. they wanted 13 million to enroll and they got about nine. bob cusack is editor and chief of the hill. it is my understanding that the administration had 12 million people signed up? >> yeah and then the nonpartisan congressional budget office projected that figure jon. maybe the original man date is not tough enough and maybe the cost is too much. we could see premiums go up in the coming months with obama care planned. and over all, the administration has changed and moved the goal post a bit. and nonpartisan agency said 13 million and they are falling
10:19 am
well short of that. and you have the supreme court ruling, upcoming with the subsidies subsidies. and unless congress acts the law is severely torpedoed. >> they are people with no health insurance coverage before. they may have lost in the previous plan right? >> you can go back to the president's promise you can keep your plan if you want it. that's what republicans are seizing on in the broken promises. >> and the democrats said it would have gone up. it is a complicated argument for democrats and there is a lot of people unsured before. and that is going to the court and second challenge. and there is a lot of different opinions of whether this law is going to be tossed in effect because the subsidies if they
10:20 am
are tossed congress will have to step in or the law is severely broken. >> there is other interesting numbers. and a new poll from friends at cnn, more americans view former president bush favorably than they do president obama. voters so many to be on the fence about how they feel about how they feel about our current president. and the organization wrote about it on hill does that surprise you that president obama's numbers are lower than bush 43 at this point? >> it does surprise me and a ton of democrats. in 2009, when obama came in office who would have thought. >> he was always talking about how president bush and the republicans drove the economy in a ditch for instance.
10:21 am
>> number one is the back situation in iraq. many blamed president bush for the war in iraq and now they are blaming president obama for isis. they are upset with him on trade issues. he's trying to pass a trade bill most of the left is strongly opposed to. i think those are the reasons for his deteriorating numbers. that is a concern. that is part of the reason that president obama lost the house in 2010 and lost the senate in 2014 his popularity took a dive certainly in 2009. >> fascinating how things change. >> part of the country is bracing for dangerous weather, tornados and hail. we'll look at that threat. and california facing an epic drought are residents getting
10:22 am
serious about waterous. >> and a car burst in flames and how quick- thinking and courage saved a man's life.

10:27 am
breaks to tear out the real stuff. and the state water conservation improved in april. and water use dropped 13.5 percent and a sign that resident and water suppliers are taking the dire conservation calls seriously. >> during the time when we had plenty of water, it didn't both are me as much. but you drive up the five freeway and see the farms going to pot. you feel get to washing down the drive way and we can't grow crops to feed the world. >> we have to do what we have to. we have had drought for four years we have problems. >> not everybody is satisfied. california cut water use only nine percent since last year that is not near what needs to be cut. environmental scientist call the

10:35 am
third party platform emerging. the guy who words those words. gerald seib joins me now. you say the spirit is sort of there for a popullist candidate and the framework for a party or that kind of a person running, notes in not necessarily. >> you can see the left and right coming together. and the themes and platform of a third party. but you don't see the person to carry it forward and the money to carry it forward. you need a convergence with those things with ross perot. and that doesn't mean the conditions are not there. you can see it in the people from the sentence in my colsum there is a whole series of issues. anti- big banks and wall street and big money in politics and pro worker themes that bring
10:36 am
these people together. and what is striking to me how similar they sound on these things. >> doesn't popullism emerge in this issue of a campaign just about every time we go around the block? >> that is thorough. it is more common in both parties. you have bernie sanders in the democratic party. he was at a rally in minnesota over the weekend and filled a hall of 3000 people. and you have personalities that are shooting a little energy in the messages and you have the conditions, it is a slow recovery from a deep recession that started in 2007. people think we are still not out of it yet. and that is creating economic anxiety and you have several years of harping on wealth and income inequality and that created conditions in which the
10:37 am
themes have more resonance. >> and rick sanatorium mostly made his name sounding social conservative themes and this time he's talking about an increase in the minimum wage? >> absolutely if you look at his announcement speech you get a flavor of it. he talked about being the candidate republican candidate for the working man and families and spoke disparageing of big government and business. there is a escrows speaking to the republican party. this has changed over time. the republican party has a bigger blue collar and walmart wing of the party came because they are conservatives on cultural issues and they have a working class sensibility and you have mike huckabee and rick sanatorium and to some extend
10:38 am
rand paul speak to that. >> i hate to be cynical. >> are they poll- tested platforms that they are running on or honestly feeling that from the people? >> well i think it is gen i didn't know -- genuine. rick sanatorium wrote a bock on these themes. and people have been noting for a while of the emergence of a different republican party and now several people are speaking up. and on the democrat side. people laughed at bernie sanders when he started and they are not laughing so much anymore. >> and you ponent to the successful third party candidates go and ross perot and the headline today, a lot of people are pushing bloomberg to
10:39 am
run as democrat. he's run the gamut. and he's certainly a got who couldn't be bought by the special interest and he could pay for his own campaign. >> it is a possibility. people talk about mike bloomberg in that context. and you can so the room for that. the problem is the premise is right the sentiment is anti- wall street and big money, i am not sure mike bloomberg can articulate. he has the in between both parties and i will not hold to special interest. and no beholden to special interest is a part of the populs a theme. >> it could be a faceinating race this time. gerald seih thank you. >> south carolina police officer hailed as a hero for saving

>> the u.s. marshal captured a fugitive charged with killing his parents and setting their home on fire. they caught the 39-year-old suspect outside of jacksonville florida. they have looked for him since march of last year. his parent's bodies were found in a burning home. he is facing charges of second-degree murder and arson. >> and new information on the investigation of four people found murdered in a washington d.c. mansion. the blood found on the shoe of lynch matches the blood on the victims. his dna was founda a pizza crust. brian is it a slam dunk? >> initially i thought it might be a slam dunk.
10:46 am
up until now, you have a grainy video of him outside of the home. and you have the dna evidence on a pizza box that can be attacked. that is not 100 percent foolproof scientific method. but here is the issue. you how blood that matches one of the victims on his shoe. and that is inside of the house. and one point i thought it through, and i am befuddled though, how can law enforcement and forensic tech negz get the blood samples from the individuals. i am suspicious of how they got it to match it to the blood on winn's shoes. >> and rebecca, do you share the
10:47 am
concern? >> i share the concern in the same manner. pizza crust. maybe he did or didn't. maybe he was invited to have something to eat and then left. and the connection with being in the house and committing a quad ruple homicide so far what we know is faulty. not saying that there is a lot more evidence we don't know. and having pizza and even blood on his shoe didn't mean he committed homicide and committed assault and someone else. came in the house and did kill these people. we don't know yet. to jump to conclusion whether it was a man who solely operated and killed four people and set the house on fire is a lot based on what we have now. >> all you need is reasonable doubt, right, brian? >> you do. and another issue to talk about
10:48 am
is motive. that is really lacking in this case. and it doesn't matter how much evidence you have. a lot of times jurors in murder case s want to hear what it is did someone commit such a heinous act? and if you have the blood on the shoe and it is reliable it is devastating. he worked ten years ago for the deceased. and i think what the law enforcement needs to do here is look closely back to see if there was disgrunteled customers of the diseased and company in puerto rico. did they hire wint to commit the murder. >> rebecca having a blood match on the shoe does show that there may be room for prosecutors
10:49 am
because that is going to raise a lot of eyebrows. he had matching blood suggest that there are more than meets the eye right now. >> it suggests that he was either at the scene or in connection in contact with someone who knows who's blood. one person's blood or four or throw. and he was in contact with them. and they were probably assaulted. but not moved and you have to have the connection and as brian does say. what is the motive here. there was cash in the house. whether or not that is true we don't was it a robbery gone bad. how many other people did he act with or was he alone? it is hard to say that he will be convicted of a quad ruple homicide. things are not looking good for him either. clearly there is a connection with him and this family at some
