officials are trying to pin down the source of inside help. david lee miller live just outside that prison in upstate new york. david? >> >> reporter: jon, let me tell you the latest developments in this ongoing story, and as i describe these ongoing developments, you can take a look at the imposing walls behind me of clinton correctional facility. the multiblock length facility here in new york. not far from this location about two miles, there is now a flurry of police activity. we are told there are now more than half a dozen police cars as well as sniffer dogs in one particular location. authorities, obviously massing there conducting some type of a search. and what's important to note here is that it's possible these men could be hundreds of miles away, they could have crossed the canadian border or they might similarly be yards or miles away from the prison. the authorities do not know, and judging by the activity now taking place it seems clear

that they have not ruled out the possibility that these two fugitives are still close to the prison. there is a report, unconfirmed one published report that says they were planning to have a vehicle pick them up when they emerged from that manhole but the car never showed, and they had to flee on foot. now, let's talk about the manhole about a block from the prison from which the two fugitives emerged. we have some video we recorded a short time ago and, incredibly, this site is still now an active crime scene. you can see the yellow tape blocking off the manhole. residents who live nearby say that about 12:30 saturday morning they actually encountered a couple of men who apparently had just emerged from that manhole. they didn't know who they were they were wearing civilian clothes, they were carrying what looked like a guitar case. there was a brief conversation, they said they were lost, and

then they ran off. it looks like the only known sighting of the two fugitives. it could have ended tragically, fortunately it did not. the residents think it was significant. now, about the power tools that we've heard so much about, authorities still trying to figure out how the inmates got their hands on power tools. according to a published report there are about a dozen or so active contractors doing work at the prison. it is very possible contractors inadvertently or intentionally left these tools behind, and there is still growing suspicion today that a female employee at the prison, a woman who reportedly worked at the tailor shop, struck up a friendship with one of the two men and may be an accomplice in some way. as best we know, she has not been charged with any wrongdoing, but there are a number of published reports suggesting she may have helped the men in some way. and lastly, jon authorities say

they have 300 leads. they're following them all up, but so far no sightings of the men since the manhunt got underway. jon? jon: and if you get some information on that police activity near you please get back to us. david lee miller, thank you. jenna: more on that story as we get it. in the meantime, new information just out on or nation's wildfire threat. the national interagency fire center finds the recent flooding and an unusually wet may has cut the risk of wildfires across our country for the month of june, but that's not the case in drought-stricken california. with 1700 wildfires already this year and four years into a drought, officials are sounding the alarm on what this fire season could bring. william la la jeunesse is live with more on this. william? >> reporter: well, every day is fire season somewhere in california and that four-year drought simply translates into more risk for a major fire season with much of the state now forked a tinder box. -- now

considered a tinderbox. 50% higher than the five-year average, including a small one we had yesterday in northern california. and this graphic will show you officials are predicting an active summer season up there. including the dry areas of eastern oregon and washington which suffered their worst, second worst fire season on record last year. >> one key element here that everyone needs to be aware of and we've got to think differently now that we're in a drought, historically we would consider lawns as part of that green space or that defensible space. well, that is not the case. we can't afford the luxury of a lawn when communities are going without drinking water. >> reporter: so the california drought has already meant less snow this year, plus we had a very warm spring and that brought early snow melt, so no buffer for the summer. and, of course, policy wise we have seen more fire suppression and less thinning. that means a denser forest. so you have low lying brush

fires will then use that deadwood and those small trees to climb up into the canopy, so a small fire can burn for days. the bottom line, jenna, things can always turn around. the last two years the highly-populated areas of southern california got lucky, but this year the agencies are not taking any chances they're lining up all their resources in terms of the airplanes and putting people on notice now. back to you. jenna: william, thank you. jon: some new recommendations from the nation's railroad administration after that deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia. administration officials urging steps to prevent speeding. they say railroads should identify areas in which trains must reduce speed. last month's derailment happened when a train entered a curve at twice the speed limit. officials also want more signs highlighting the maximum speed limits on the track. jenna: well governor jeb bush overseas this week, gearing up for a big speech in germany. we're going to take a look at the timing of his trip to europe. plus, a big heist near a

world. what keeps that progress steady are standards and rules that are modern transparent and fair, and that doesn't happen by itself. that's one reason why we need a serious plan to complete the transatlantic trade and investment partnership. joining us now a.b. stoddard, associate editor and columnist for "the hill," jonah goldberg senior editor at "national review" and a fox news contributor. a.b. it's one thing to make pronouncements about trade agreements and so forth but these trips can be full of pitfalls for some candidates can't they? >> yes, they can. i think this is a high risk/high reward proposal for presidential candidates. if he's disciplined and he's ready for this trip and he's organized and prepared he's going to use this as a perfect platform to appear more presidential and more engaged in the issues that people care about. the reset with russia was a failure, talking about the sovereignty of the baltic states and the aggression of vladimir

putin and the russians is, obviously, a challenge that the president is facing this week with other world leaders and on minds of many voters global economy and challenges to it, the u.s. economy. all these are good things for him to talk about. there will be things for him to navigate like the fact that the germans respect so fond of our nsa spying system which mr. bush supports. he should be ready for questions about caitlin jenner and all sorts of things that trip people up on these trips. if he succeeds at it and looks ready for his launch next week -- and i think he, i think it's then a good move. but many of his fellow contenders have used these trips to do that very thing and elevate themselves and come home looking like they shouldn't even be a staffer in the white house. jon: yeah. so what about it, jonah? i mean, is there -- why even do these trips i guess is what i'm asking if there is that danger of you know, the press pouncing on some little thing you say and making it into a monstrous

issue? >> well, i think in part just because it's something we've come to expect from these people. they need, you know, this is one of these down payments they need to make that they cash in later at the presidential debates where they say in my trips to germany, i said this, and when i was in estonia i staid to vladimir putin, this will not stand and so forth. and they need to get this out of the way it's a box that you have to check. i suspect that jeb has some other interests in it as well. he very much wants to have his name associated -- have a slightly different brand than bush iraq war. and by going to europe and talking about these issues it lets people think about him in foreign policy terms that aren't necessarily a detriment to him, and i think that's part of the plan. i think the timing of this, i agree with a.b., the timing is a little more fraught. you don't want to come out of a gaffe firestorm and then announce you're running for president, but my guess is he won't have a gaffe when he's over there, but who knows? jon: a.b., you mentioned the reset with russia.

well, hillary clinton was essentially the architect of that as secretary of state. that hasn't gone so well. here is what we expect jeb bush is going to say on that. he says russia must respect the sovereignty of all its neighbors and who can doubt that russia will do what it pleases if its aggression goes unanswered? our actions are essential if we want to preserve the fundamental principles of our international order. he is really expecting to point to some of the failures, as he sees them, of the obama administration, a.b.. >> right. and that's, obviously something that as i mentioned before is being dealt with at the g7 summit by president obama and other leaders throughout europe who he hopes will continue to maintain pressure on russia through sanctions. but what jeb bush is going to call for is more actual defensive aid to ukraine. promises of more weapons and more, and more aid. and also the promises kept to, as i mentioned the baltic states who are nervous that they could be next to be taken over or annexed by vladimir putin.

they feel extremely vulnerable and they feel as if this administration doesn't quite have a plan. i think this is a great subject for him to get started on, as jonah mentioned. it sort of distracts away from iraq and isis to a real problem however, that he's going to show leadership on, but also in the general election against hillary clinton, this is going to be one of her great vulnerabilities because she was one of the architects of that reset with russia that failed. jon: a.b -- i'm sorry, jonah, talking about some of the history. mitt romney went to london, had some problems with things he said, you already mentioned scott walker got caught up in some comments he made on one of his foreign trips. how does jeb bush avoid that kind of thing? >> be very careful. i think that's -- [laughter] the thing is, he's a fairly disciplined guy when it comes to the wonky stuff. he knows his stuff, you know? he may have been a governor and not a foreign policy guy but i think he's actually quite fluent on the policy stuff. the interesting thing to me is that excerpt you read about the

tpa, the trade promotion authority. that will get him crosswise with quite a few of his primary opponents in the coming republican debates. i mean, that is a major split not just on the democratic side, but on the republican side as well and there are a lot of people on the sort of populist side of the republican aisle who are going to go after him on that. what'll be interesting to see is how he defends himself not so much on the policy grounds in europe but how much he defends himself domestically in iowa from people who say this tpa thing is giving obama more authority and is bad for american workers. jon: yeah. you've got to hand it to those politicians, you know, bush, whomever, who are willing to take a stand on the issues. not all of them necessarily come out with their positions. jonah gold berg, a.b. stoddard, thank you. >> thank you. jenna: an amazing stunt as a man balances 400 feet in the air. where he did it and why it was one for the record books. also, new details in the case of an 18-year-old girl on

actual conflict because he stepped down. prosecutors do this all the time. he created a chinese wall in the office which means that he has no contact with information about the case at all. he can't be told anything, who the witnesses are, what the documents are anything. he can't be consult t -- consulted about the case. the judge did the right thing saying we're going the keep anytime the same district where the victim and the defendant live. jenna: does this set up for a mistrial though doug, or any sort of challenges on appeal? >> absolutely. it preserves a point on appeal what the defense is saying look, you have to knock out the entire office, not just the main prosecutor. i would cite two points in their favor just to give you sort of the other side of it. one point is this is kind of a novel theory. this isn't a straightforward case. this is a case, by the way, where they are pushing limits and testing the involuntary manslaughter because there's no assisted suicide law in massachusetts. whereas in other states they do have -- >> but that's for the jury to decide. >> right. >> but the jury can decide it in

that district. why move the whole case out of district, get another prosecutor involved, the expense of that when they've got the people there. if during the trial there's something there that says, hey, you know, they're going -- >> but the other point -- >> do it then, a trial. >> but the other point is, you know, it's not always just an impropriety, it's the appearance of it. any lawyer will tell you that. so the point is, you know, the average person on the street, well, wait a minute, the da's related to the victim. >> he stepped down. >> it doesn't sound right. jenna: the case is going forward in this district with these attorneys. lis, this is a really interesting case for several reasons but one of them is it could be a bellwether case as we look at social media, cyberbullying. >> right. jenna: talk to us as a prosecutor, what's your main argument for convicting this girl of involuntary manslaughter? >> here's what i do, i start with her words. just go back in the truck. go back and do it. he was in a truck where he committed suicide. he said, you know i really don't want to do this, i don't want to go ahead.

get back in she says. i would explain the texting back and forth and back and forth. she, certainly, was there and she wanted him to kill himself and that, to me, is enough if you put -- [inaudible conversations] >> like being in school, right? but we all know the way texts work okay? it's not always in context the way it appears, okay? and the defense is bitterly complaining saying, wait a minute you cherry picked certain quotes. there's a thousand e-mails if you look at them all together, there's a context. you talk about keep it simple, stupid she didn't cause his death. excuse me. >> if we change this just a little bit right? and you and i are talking about murdering somebody and you do the murder, you fire the gun, i'm pushing it all along, i'm an accomplice. so what's the difference? >> there's no acysted suicide -- assisted suicide law in the state. jenna: what's at stake for the

defendant? what could she potentially be found guilty of? >> there's a lot at stake. the theory is lis is arguing it and very well is, you know look she's the one who pushed him over the line get back in the truck. so she has what we call access sor y'all liability accomplice conspirator liability. >> sure. that's involuntary manslaughter. >> that's the argument. jenna: again, going back to what's at stake -- >> 10, 20 years. >> yeah. 20-year max. >> the judge would probably take into consideration her age, you know she's young. but, no, it's a very serious offense. >> but once again broken record, sorry, the e-mails -- the texts i believe they were, if they're not in context -- jenna: we'll see if there's more text messages to take into consideration, and we'll see that with the opening arguments in this case as well. lis and doug, great to have you both. lis has a new podcast, you can find it on fox news radio.com.

doug mckelway's live in washington with more on this. doug? >> reporter: hi, jenna. it's often been said that the tsa has to be 100% effective on their job. one terrorist could mean a catastrophic consequence. yet 100% effectiveness is, for all practical purposes, impossible. chairman ron johnson illustrated the problem. tsa screens two million passengers every day. three million carry-on bags, and it screens passengers on 25,000 domestic flights a day. ranking member tom carper drew upon the words of his father to convey that the agency still has to strive for perfection. >> jobs worth doing are worth doing well. he said that hundreds of times, maybe thousands of times. and out of that i took this lesson, we should be focused on perfection. we'll never get there, but that should be our goal. and if it isn't perfect we need to make it better. >> reporter: again reality shows otherwise. a series of ig findings in a

pentagon. the president seemed to suggest the pentagon is not exactly on the ball when he says i'm waiting for the pentagon to bring me a plan, and then we'll finalize it. >> yeah. there were some sort of jabs at pentagon yesterday as well as at turkey and at the iraqi military. but what concerns me even more than these comments from the the president is his continual underestimation of the direct and dire threat that isis poses to the west, to the united states in particular and to our way of life. it's my belief that without a really fulsome appreciation of the challenge we face here, any strategy the administration comes up with -- no matter how brilliant -- is going to be doomed to failure. jon: i am just scratching my head about something that former admiral john kirby had to say on another network. i'll play that for you in a second. but this is a president who campaigned on the notion that he was going to get us out of the war in iraq. now john kirby, who used to be the pentagon spokesman, he's now

the state department spokesman working for john kerry and the president, says this: >> even if we were just talking about this from a military perspective and i know we're not, but let's say we were, it's still going to take three to five years. it's going to take a while. this is not something that's going to be solved overnight, and i think all of us need to have a little bit of strategic patience here as we work our way through it. jon: three to five years he says and his preface was that's if you throw lots and lots of military assets at defeating isis. >> you know, 30,000 30,000 plus right now isis fighters. five years from now maybe there'll be a million with the rate of recruitment that they're currently enjoying, you know? that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but the prospects are quite horrific. i'd also say that when the administration talks about isis, they tend to use language that really minimizes the threat that they pose as well as the damage they've already inflicted. so just a quick reminder, they now control up to half of syria

some very strategic airs of iraq -- areas of iraq, and they're conducting suicide missions inside saudi arabia. all of this accomplished in spite of the 3,800 care strieks the coalition -- airstrikes the coalition has executed. jon: and many of those pilots complain they are being dispatched with weaponry onboard, they get in the air they see a target, but they are not authorized to hit it, at least not in time. why is that happening? >> well, this is a part of a military strategy that reflects the president's core belief in this instance which is that the rise of isis is an iraqi problem. the responsibility to confront isis on the ground in combat belongs to iraq. if anything, perhaps to the middle east. and that the united states should not be overly involved here. but there's a faulty logic that myself and other people continually point out which is that this is an organization that's very well organized it's got hundreds of millions of

dollars in the bank. it does not recognize national boundaries, and it has global aspirationings. so i'd -- aspirations. so i'd really caution that isis is no more an iraq or a middle east problem than, you know, the rise of the third reich in the 1930s was a germany or european problem. this is something that's going to eventually if left unchecked affect all of us. jon: and so when isis threatens as it just did in this online video posting, threatens to overtake baghdad and, you know, run the ancient capital of iraq, you take them at their word on that? >> well, a lot of military analysts now really sort of, you know eshoo the idea that taking baghdad is going to be impossible and admittedly it would be difficult the prospects look remote at this point. but as we've seen one after another of iraqi cities fall into the clutches of isil -- mosul for a year ramadi was not

anticipated -- we have to also remind ourselves that these same analysts have continually underestimated isis' capabilities and capacities. so i think that to really cast that aside and not give it due consideration at this point would be an error. jon: also worth noting, the president compared them to a jv squad, and now he's saying he doesn't have a strategy to deal with this jv squad. gillian turner, fox news contributor, thank you. >> thank you. jenna: well, turning to another big story today, a new move to ease student debt in the united states is being called one of the most aggressive measures of its kind. what the obama administration's saying it will forgive federal student loans owed by some americans under certain conditions. our blake berman from the fox business network is live in washington on this story. >> reporter: hi there jenna. taxpayers will likely be spending billions of dollars to bailout students who were misled by colleges making false promises. the obama administration has announced it'll use an old

federal law as the basis to allow debt relief for students who feel they were targeted by colleges that turn out worthless degrees with high price tags. this'll help students at the now-defunct for-profit university chain corinthian college and its subsidiary but the education secretary also said the program will be available to all students who feel a college's actions violated state law. this is a relief for students who will have their debt wiped away but also a new liability for the government as the price tag could reach into the billions of dollars. the tab for corinthian students is roughly $3.5 billion. ultimately, the potential exposure could climb higher when factoring in possible cases for other schools. lamar alexander, who's the chair of the senate health committee which oversees education, says this is a slippery slope that leaves taxpayers on the hook. senator elizabeth warren backed the administration saying the actions will send a message the

government won't allow fraudulent profiteering. a special master jenna, will be set up within weeks to institute the relief application process. jenna? jenna: blake thank you. jon: well, the longest-serving republican speaker of the house heads to court today. dennis hastert in chicago facing federal charges. we are live outside the courthouse. plus, the dramatic scene after one driver loses control of his vehicle and smashes right into a packed café. >> and within three seconds, the whole place went boom, and we could feel the heat and the fire and we just hit the ground.
