11:00 am
allies abroad. sheryl says we need to get on top of tech. they seem to own it. and too many lost kids listening. appreciate you being here with us for these two hours. we'll see you tomorrow. >> thanks for joining us. hello everybody. we begin this hour with a fox news alert. a manhunt is underway at this hour in new orleans for a suspect police say shot and killed a police officer who was transporting him. now, police are saying that the suspect travis boiz grabbed officer daryl holloway's gun and then shot him in the head. police say he's about 5'11" with a tattoo on the left side of his neck. officer holloway is a 22-year veteran with the new orleans police department. we'll bring you new developments as they happen. turning now to charleston. it is a day of remembrance and
11:01 am
mourning in that city as that community begins the long road towards healing. vigils are being held to honor the nine victims murdered inside their historic church as they participated in bible study classes classes. a makeshift memorial can be seen outside the church where so many are leaving flowers, cards and other symbols to show their solidarity with those who lost their lives. among the dead pastor clementa pinckney along with the others seen as pillars of their community serving so many as teachers counselors and coaches. their accused killer 21-year-old dylann roof, has reportedly confessed to police. during his bond hearing family members of the victims confronted roof directly with emotional reactions and remarkably even offering forgiveness. joining us now mike tobin standing by with much more. what is the status of dylann roof at this hour? >> reporter: we know from the sheriff's department that dylann
11:02 am
roof is on suicide prevention protocol here in the jail. we have seen he's wearing a suicide prevention vest. it is not clear if this protocol is in response to anything that he has done or said or if it's standard procedure when you're dealing with a case as violent and dramatic as his. you know he's in the protective custody section of the jail and that is why he's being housed very near officer michael slager in this particular case. but beyond that a spokesman for the sheriff's department says he is receiving no special treatment. uma. >> it was a rather remarkable bond hearing yesterday. as i mentioned a moment ago, because some of the victims -- family members of the victims were amazing in the fact that they were offering forgiveness so soon after this incident. >> reporter: it was a very unusual step uma, that the chief magistrate brought in the family members and extremely impactful when you heard their statements. but now critics are coming forward to say that move will
11:03 am
ultimately impact the trial. >> i set the tone of my court. it's my courtroom. i take control over it. and i conduct business within the scope of the law. >> problem now is going to be that because we had a judge yesterday have all of the victims come up and say that they already forgive this guy before he's even actually been formally charged with murder is going to be a problem for the prosecutor. >> reporter: now, chief magistrate also took the time to generate sympathy for the family of roof saying that they have been thrown into a whirlwind and hadn't asked for any of this. uma, back to you. >> a very emotional time there in that city for that community and the rest of the country. thank you so much, mike, for that update. now support for the family has been overwhelming. a stark contrast from 50 years ago at the height of the civil rights movement. dr. albeta king is the niece of dr. martin luther king jr. and she continues to fight for the
11:04 am
rights of minorities and women. sadly her family is no stranger to racial violence. her uncle was assassinated her grandmother murdered in a church and her father a.d. king continued to fight for civil rights. this photo is from an open housing protest where he was injured by a rock thrown at his head. she joins me live on the phone. she is the director of the african-american outreach for priests for live and a fox news contributor. welcome, dr. king. so wonderful to have you here on this show today. and you are such a person of peace and healing. many people are trying to find answers out of something so horrific. today many are witness to these senseless acts of violence. how can we as a nation move towards healing? >> thank you, uma. and returning from selma where we had a bus trip a prayer rally and a march, forgiveness is going to be very key in all of this.
11:05 am
if we think about what happened in charleston, if we think about why we were marching today saying black women matter we forgive dr. led of all the abortions in clinics, but that -- it's not unusual for someone to say i forgive you. i know my uncle martin luther king jr. say and my dad and i forgive those who do bad things to me. that does not mean you need -- so we have to pray for peace. work to have justice. and begin to thank the heart of the people. and that is the -- >> you know. i'm going to mention sadly your family has been no stranger to violence and tragedy. and when news of the story first broke out, many were left wondering how can such a violent act happen inside one of our safest havens a church?
11:06 am
and yet your grandmother who was also dr. martin luther king's mother was shot and killed inside thea church. so you already know violence can happen anywhere. >> it can happen anywhere. my grandmother was shot by an african-american who was filled with hate. but what we saw in charleston was a caucasian young man who was filled with hate. so that lets us know that evil does not have a color. skin color is a thing out of the soul what's in our bodies our eyes and we can appreciate those visual things with our eyes and our flesh, our soul. but the spirit of you know the spirit of a person is higher than that. and it's going to take us working through our own human spirits, connecting and with god directing and guiding us. and that's how we can thank the heart of the nation. you're not going to be able to legislate against evil totally. you must have laws absolutely. my uncle said that darkness
11:07 am
cannot drive out darkness only light can do that hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that. so we've got to have lawmakers and law enforcers and the people of society who will understand that and operate within the law. we have lawlessness right now. and i say that again for lack of appreciation from life from conception from the instant a person is conceived until natural death. that is my work and preach for life that is my work as a minister of the gospel that is my work as a human being to first love others and then be loved. >> i want to mention really quickly that charleston is also called the holy city because there are so many places of worship in that community. >> yes. >> family members of the victims came forward yesterday offering forgiveness already at this point as they confronted the suspected killer.
11:08 am
many find that remarkable at a time when so many people are hurt and angry. how do you respond to that? >> well when my grandfather, his wife alberta williams king was killed in atlanta, georgia playing the organ on sunday morning, the lord's prayer the prelude, and when -- my brother, reverend king went after him and began to pummel him with his fist. and my granddaddy said to my brother, don't kill him, you have to forgive him. granddaddy went to visit and said son, you took away the most precious thing on this earth to me and my wife he called her honey bun, but he said i forgive you, son. it is difficult. and that is what you're seeing from the families of the victims. but you have to remember the pastor he was a man of god. he taught his congregation the word of god. so it's wrong. it was racist. it was wrong. it was evil absolutely.
11:09 am
but evil knows no color. and african-american man gunned down my grandmother. a caucasian man gunned down nine people praying in church. and yet that leads us to say it's time to pray. we must pray for america. we must pray for the world. we must pray for ourselves. >> dr. king thank you so much for your words of wisdom. we really appreciate it. all the best to you. >> thank you so much. overseas now. and we're hearing news that isis is now claiming responsibility for yet another deadly car bombing in yemen. the blast happening outside a mosque in the country's capital killing at least two people. this as fighting intensifies in aleppo. insurgents saying they're on a campaign to capture full control of that divided syrian city. already isis is in control of large parts of syria and iraq. and is threatening to continue expanding its influence. john huddy joining us now from our middle east bureau with more on the story.
11:10 am
john. >> reporter: uma, the state department -- u.s. state department in a new report says that isis is now becoming the world's leading terrorist organization taking that title from al qaeda because of isis' growing influence, size and quote/unquote unprecedented brutality. brutality of course uma, that we've seen in iraq syria and now as you mention with the car bombings latest ones we're seeing that in yemen as well. that said u.s. air strikes against isis continue. the u.s. launching its fighters and drones from the u.s.s. roosevelt in the persian gulf on friday hitting isis positions in both countries. there were 16 air strikes in iraq and another six in syria. on the ground we're hearing that in syria kurdish forces have made gains, kurdish peshmerga forces have made gains taking back some towns and villages from isis. but isis still remains in control of large sections of northern and northeastern syria
11:11 am
at this point. and remember syria's civil war has also taken a huge toll on the country and it's civilians. as well today we're getting reports about heavy fighting in aleppo syria's largest city where rebel forces have been battling syrian president bashar al assad's government. and this is a civil war that's lasted several years now. and many people thousands of men, women and children have been killed thus far. and we're seeing a number of growing civilian casualties over the last couple weeks because of the intense fighting. some of that fighting spilling over into israel and israel's golan heights. and there's growing concern among israeli officials and commanders about syrian refugees along the israel border. some of those refugees already being killed by ja bat al nusra, an al qaeda linked rebel group fighting syria's government.
11:12 am
and benjamin netanyahu said israel will take whatever necessary actions to help those people. and as i said earlier, israel's military remains on high alert. uma. >> all right. john huddy, thank you very much. defense secretary ash carter testified on capitol hill this week that there just aren't enough iraqis signing up as recruits to be trained by our forces to fight isis. this means the white house efforts to have iraqis fight for themselves isn't working. meanwhile, we're also learning more about the state department's just-released annual terrorism report. it raises big-time concerns because among the findings iran's support for international terrorist groups remains undiminished. it even goes onto say it could get worse this year. let's bring in the former director of the central intelligence agency and chairman of the foundation for defensive democrat sis, ambassador james woolsey. thank you for being here today. >> glad to be with you, uma.
11:13 am
>> less than two weeks to go a new dool with iran what could provide billions of dollars in economic relief from sanctions. and this report now from the obama administration coming out saying that iran's support for international terror groups remains undeterred. it's absolutely astounding to me that this white house is still hoping for a deal. what's your reaction now? >> i completely agree with that. we're in a terrible situation now in the mideast. and much -- not absolutely all, but much of it is a result of actions by iran and its revolutionary guard corps and the street criminal groups that it runs. they are all over the place. and i think that it is a growing empire. they want to be an empire. they want to get larger and larger and more and more in control. they're a thee karatic totalitarian genocidal liars.
11:14 am
>> do you think the president is engaged simply on his strategy that he wants a nuke deal to underscore his role in history? or is he simply refusing to see reality for what it is? right now for example we know iran is meddling in yemen, has been engaged -- is behind the scenes of attacks in saudi arabia and iraq. so why aren't we hearing more of the outcry from european leaders saying that a nuke deal and even sanctions will only embolden iran to disregard any efforts to stop that country from building nuclear weapons? >> well i think any agreement that they can reach now after all the concessions they've made in the past year is worse than worthless. a year ago they had a reasonable going in position. they've caved on virtually everything. and i think that it's an extremely difficult situation. i think they're keeping an eye on history to seeing if they can get some guidance from nevel
11:15 am
chamber lan rather than winston churchill. >> why aren't we hearing from european countries why aren't with hearing from their leaders? >> part because mainly we're not hearing from the united states. the united states sets the tone and direction for nato allies and many other countries in the world historically. when you get into a situation where the president time and time and time again says to the syrian government if you use chemical weapons you will regret it. they used chemical weapons and we shrug and turn the thing essentially over to the russians. when you operate like that and like we're operating now, people won't follow you. the other countries of europe are not going to take the lead if we're the weak horse rather than the strong horse. >> we just recently heard from iran supreme leader who's continued to rail on that he's not going to allow inspectors to check on iran's nuclear sites. the trust factor here is already evaporated even before a deal is done isn't it? >> yeah. i mean i think that gives us a
11:16 am
perfect opportunity to walk out. and it's a worthless agreement that's taking shape. and many aspects of it really help them essentially instead of hurting the nuclear program. >> well i know that you're very concerned about it as are many others but that deadline is less than two weeks away. we will continue to keep watch on what develops. great to see you, sir, as always. thank you for joining me once again. >> good to see you, uma. >> thank you. the annual faith and freedom coalition conference wrapping up its final day with some republican all-stars. we're live in d.c. then actress and author suzanne somers brings eye opening insights on how to thrive and stay healthy in a world full of toxins and chemicals. ♪ ♪ ♪ (singing) you wouldn't haul a load without checking your clearance. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck?

molly joining us live in d.c. with the very latest. >> reporter: hi uma. hillary clinton spoke today at the u.s. conference of mayors in san francisco. and in the wake of the mass shooting of that church in charleston south carolina she told the group she will press for new gun laws that would take guns out of the hands overcriminals and the violently unstable while still, quote, respecting gun owners rights". >> the president is right. the politics on this issue have been poisoned. but we can't give up. the stakes are too high. the costs are too dear. and i am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for common sense reform. >> reporter: meanwhile at the faith and freedom coalition's annual conference where christian conservatives can hear from republican candidates and potential republican candidates former texas governor rick perry was asked about additional gun control measures after the shooting.
11:22 am
>> oh i think discussions are good things. and this is a deliberate hate crime. and i don't -- i think it is healthy for us as a country to have conversations and defend our positions whatever they may be. so i do have an issue, the knee-jerk from the left is always we're going to take people's guns away from them when in fact there may be a host of contributing factors here. >> reporter: also today as part of her speech to the faith and freedom conference republican presidential candidate carly fiorina repeated her take on a major international issue as the obama administration tries to nail down a controversial nuclear deal with iran. fiorina says if she's elected president one of her first phone calls would be to the supreme leader of iran. >> and the message would be this new deal. new deal. whatever the deal is you got a new deal. and it is this. until and unless you open up every nuclear facility to full
11:23 am
unfeddered any time, anywhere inspections, until you open every uranium enrichment facility to the same we will make it as difficult as possible for you to move money around the globe of financial systems. >> reporter: fiorina said her very first phone call would be to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to reaffirm america's support for israel. uma. >> molly, thank you very much for that wrap up on what's happening on the presidential campaign trail. now to someone no longer on the campaign trail, president obama heading to california to spend father's day weekend golfing at some of his favorite courses in palm springs. meantime the rest of his family first family in italy cruising around the canals of venice. first lady michelle obama taking daughters sasha and malia sightseeing. they plan on heading back to the u.s. tomorrow. and now this fox news alert, we are continuing to follow a manhunt underway at this hour in new orleans where police say an officer has been shot to death by a suspect he was transporting in his suv.

also new developments in the massive manhunt for two escaped murderers. the possible sightings and details we are learning about the woman accused of helping them. plus new details emerging in the south carolina church massacre as we learn more about the victims and the strength of the loved ones they've left behind. >> as far as my family i mean we are mourning right now. but i know we'll get through it. my mom was a god fearing woman. she loved everybody with all her heart. when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief ahhh. beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right? you see the thing is geico well, could help them save on boat insurance too. hey! okay...i'm ready to come in now.

11:29 am
police did catch up though. four suspects now under arrest. and at least five wildfires burning in southern california the largest in the san bernardino national forest. at least three homes have been destroyed by another blaze there and several hundred people have been evacuated just as a precaution. we've just learned that the emanuel ame church in charleston will be holding sunday morning services tomorrow. the shooting at that site was an act that was meant to start a race war, instead it has brought so many people together. hundreds of flowers and notes have been laid outside the church where nine people were murdered during a prayer meeting on wednesday night. vigils are being held from coast-to-coast. it was not the outcome confessed shooter dill erer dylann roof expected. he's charged with nine counts of murder and in his first court appearance he heard directly from family members of some of the victims. bowing his head after vowing
11:30 am
their forgiveness and asked god to have mercy on him. we have more on the emotion and mood that community as it tries to heal. rich. >> reporter: good afternoon, uma. yesterday that unusual move by the judge to allow the victims' family members speak said it was his prerogative to do so to help the community heal. so many people since then and before then have been coming down here to the emanuel ame church. if you look right now this is somewhat of a low point of what we've seen over the past several days. at times you have groups of worshippers in the hundreds holding vigils elsewhere in this city coming to the emanuel ame church to leave flowers, prayers and pay their respects. >> i just feel like we needed to pay respect. i mean those people didn't deserve what happened to them. i think it's just brought everybody closer together. it's not called the holy city for no reason. >> it's quite shocking for me. my parents grew up during the civil rights movement. and i always heard the stories, but i've never really
11:31 am
experienced that. >> reporter: people who live in charleston people who live in california have come here to pay their respects to those who lost their lives and their family members. and this is just impromptu. you've had folks come up and speak, religious leaders speak at a podium they've set up behind here and there are also organized events. this is called the holy city because there are over 400 places of worship. they will all ring bells tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning. there's also tomorrow at dusk. there's a large bridge that spans an area here in charleston. the goal is to get thousands of people in the community to come together hold hands and span that bridge on top of a vigil held last evening. so the organized events have been going. just one last shot here as you've seen this is what we've been seeing for the last three days. it hasn't stopped. this is a low point in attendance and we expect to see this continue for the days and potentially weeks ahead. uma. >> absolutely amazing. our hearts go out to all of them as they move forward and try to heal from this horrific tragedy.
11:32 am
rich edison thank you very much for that update. we have new information on that new york prison break. the manhunt is now widening for the two escaped murderers. and authorities say they're investigating possible sightings. we're told witnesses spotted the two men last weekend walking in the town of irwin. police then say there was another spotting the next day. the two men seen walking towards the pennsylvania border. the u.s. marshals service adding both prisoners to the list of the 15 most wanted fugitives. rick leventhal is live. what can you tell us at this point? >> reporter: law enforcement sources tell me there have been many possible sightings since these two have escaped, but none confirmed. now for the first time the new york state police have publicized two of those sightings giving them some possible credence. convicted killers david sweat and richard matt escaped from the clinton correctional
11:33 am
facility around midnight on june 6th. one week later on june 13th police say two men were spotted walking near a rail yard in the town of irwin roughly 300 miles as the crow flies. the next day two men with the same description were seen walking along county route 115 headed toward the pennsylvania border. authorities checked out both leads, talked to witnesses and collected surveillance footage which so far has been inconclusive and now being further analyzed by state police and the crime lab. the men could have covered 300 miles in a week if they walked for roughly 15 hours a day. and with another week passed since then they could be in virginia west virginia ohio or any number of other places. more than 600 local county and state police are still involved along with federal agents canine teams and aviation units now focused on patrols, structured searches and follow-ups on the more than 1,500 leads that have poured in. in the meantime investigations by the department of corrections into how the men escaped continued.
11:34 am
friday night the department of corrections announced one correction officer was put on administrative leave. they won't say why or what role he may or may not have played in the mens escape. as you mentioned they've been put on the 15 most wanted list. that is reserved for the worst of the worst. they warned the public these men have violent criminal histories and should be avoided at all costs. >> all right, thank you very much for that update. i know that the patience is really hard there in this search because they have been looking for a long time and want to get these men behind bars once again sooner than later. thank you very much. well his is a story of determination and bravery. an army green beret paralyzed in afghanistan returns home to become a hero of a different kind. he will join us live to explain his new mission. plus celebrated actress and author suzanne somers has some eye opening details on how toxins can effect our lives in a big way and what we can do to

11:40 am
prescribed amphetamines for toxic related brain issues like a.d.d. and adhd and bipolar and schizophrenia. there are conditions that are out of control. and cancer is an epidemic. so i decided to interview the five top environmental doctors, western doctors who have stepped outside of the standard of care box to find out how are these toxins getting in to our body what do they do once they're in the body and how do we get them out so that we can prevent the diseases that have now become common everyday conditions? >> and for you it really effected you and your family in a very big way after your home burned down. you moved into a rented home. >> right. >> and your family started developing symptoms that didn't add up. certainly after more exploration you found there was black mold in the house? >> standing water under the house in an unfinished room. like the little shop of horrors
11:41 am
the black mold, the worst kind crawling up through the drywall, coming through the air-conditioning ducts and heating. but you don't piece it together. i'm looking at my husband in his eyes he's so healthy and his eyes were getting red and watery and sneezing and sinus all the time. and then he started getting facial ticks, facial spasming that then progressed to full out grimaceing which is extremely vulnerable. dr. number one said he's got parkinsons. i said no he doesn't. then i ended up in the hospital with an flangtic shock and it was diagnosed as cancer and they were both wrong. what we both had was bodies filled with black mold. i would wake up in the morning with a flat stomach and by the end of the day it would look like i was giving birth to a basketball. and i thought i exercise and i eat right. and then i realized all of these organisms i just mentioned, yeast, fungus cancer they all not just like but require sugar
11:42 am
to reproduce. a single mold organism can multiply 52 million times in a 24-hour period. i gave up sugar for one whole year and i mean cold turkey. and that means grains too. i went on a high fat diet organic only butter cream, olive oil, i lost so much weight. i lost the chemical belly. i got my health back. i got rid of the mold in my system. so it can be done. i think sugar is more of our enemy than we ever even realized. >> what do you hope people take away from the research that you've done and the work that you've done with these doctors? >> if you really really want to tackle this thing, you have to start today. you have to get rid of all the chemical stuff you're cleaning your house with. you have to stop putting chemicals, lotions on your skin washing your hair with organic, use organic makeup. turn the ship around. and if you can control your own private arena, then you're way
