>> that baby was fast sleep in his car seat until someone turned on the music. he was dancing to "uptown funk" as we all wood. bill: there is trouble brewing for hillary clinton. a new poll shows the democratic front runner would lose or tie against three leading in the republican hopefuls in three key battleground states. more on these numbers. i'm bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum. we are look at a quinnipiac poll and it shows clinton's favorability rating in iowa, virginia and colorado. colorado shy is 35 and 56%.

virginia 41 to 50%. what is going on out there? what is going on out there? why do these numbers continue to trend lower for her? >> these aren't just, you know, upper forupper 40s. that's george w. bushened of his tenure unfavorable numbers. what's going on is first of all the trajectory of her campaign. a lot of folks don't like inevitability in a politician. and the cloistered version of the campaign. the fact that she doesn't really take so many questions from the press, compared to donald trump

who is saying a lot to voters on tv. it's not surprising this is where she is at. bill: i think you can argue all the republican candidate are taking questions. they want the coverage. in this polling she loses ground in the key questions about honesty and leadership. she trails in all three states again jeb bush. including scok scott walker. she trails him in all three states. marco rubio live on fox news, she trails number all three key states. if you were to include bernie sanders, he does better than she does in certain parts of the country. why? >> the three states you are talking about are important states because they are considered the key swing states

along with florida and ohio. but those state have burst on to the swing state map the last few years. you have an hispanic voter population and rural population. sanders is a new thing. he's talking about a lot of idea. he's pushing a lot of the conversations. hillary clinton seems like she is trailing the conversation. she is even trailing low in leadership. that's where as a former first lady and secretary of state she should have leadership quality. she is not pushing the conversation, she is riding a crest and that crest is diminishing. bill: interesting stuff. we'll see the head-to-head

matchups. colorado ohio and florida was where all of our focus was last time. martha: it will be interesting to see how well hillary wears over time because they know her so well. she's almost part. people's dna the last 20 years. a fox news alert. new details on if the chattanooga shooter. we are learning an uncle of muhammad youssef abdulazeez has been detained in jordan as part of this investigation. american investigators say they have no evidence linking him to the attack or terrorism and they have no motive. but reports say they found writings that refer to islamic cleric pane anwar al-alawki.

>> reporter: it's not known what if any connection the uncle might have to this. but the uncle will be talking to him. jordanian officials brought in the uncle for questioning the day after the shooting. they let him go back home and brought him in the next day and have holding him ever since. here is what we know about the uncle. he's a u.s. citizen born in kuwait. he's a business owner in northern virginia and moved to jordan in 2010 to take care of his parents. the family insists he's not a radical. the family also says the only reason muhammad youssef abdulazeez was sent to jordan to

stay with him was the hopes that working in his uncle's business might staighten out his life. law enforcement officials say the reason he's being held in jordan is because jordanian laws are different and the overtakennians are trying to be good partners. but they have no reason to believe he has any connection to this case or any connection to radicals. martha: they are holding this person until they can figure out if he has anything to do with it. in terms of who took out the shooter on the scene in chattanooga what are we learning there? >> we were told it looked like law enforcement took him out. we are look at a memorial for skip wells. it appears one of the marines that was killed had a side arm with him as well as according to the navy times. the navy commander at the reserve center there.

they both according to sources engaged the shooter. so it may well be one of his intended victims fired the fatal shot. the autopsy on abdulazeez is complete. we should find up to the for about this case. a marine general a navy admiral, sources from the atf and f.b.i. will be talking to us. we hope to get more about what potentially led abdulazeez down this road to radicalizing that he would take out those marines. noon today. martha: john, thank you very much. bill: the accused gunman in the the san francisco pier shooting back in court. the preliminary hearing upon

francisco sanchez. the father of the girl who was shot testified on capitol hill yesterday. >> suddenly a shot rang out. kate fell and looked at me and said "help me, dad." those are the last words i'll ever hear from my daughter. if kate's law save one daughter, one son a mother, a father, kate's death won't be in vain. bill: at issue is whether you cut off some sort of federal funding for cities or counties that recognize sanctuary cities or counties. that is truly emotional stuff. we have a woman on who will share her own personal story. martha: this is a special group of people and they are doing a tremendous job to honor their

daughter in the wake of all this. martha: the pentagon says that a u.s. drone strike killed a key al qaeda leader in syria. he was a high up in an al qaeda offshoot group. how important was this strike for our fight? >> reporter: senior defense officials called this a big strike. he was a key figure in a terror group that's known to have the most advanced non-metallic bombs in the world. al qaeda says he was killed in an airstrike while traveling in a vehicle in northwest syria. he was falsely reported has having been killed last fall. but the pentagon says they are sure they got him. yesterday president obama declined to address president

obama's death. >> i will not hesitate to use force to protect our nation. including from the threat of terrorism. thanks to the scifl our military and counter intelligence prove specialals we struck major blows against those who threaten us. >> reporter: he was one of the few died leaders to give advance notice of 9/11. bill: president obama going on "the daily show" telling him about his deal. >> you seem very irritated. >> i am. i move over.

martha: a four-alarm fire forced evacuations in the town of brunswick. ed the building next to a commuter railway. look at that. you can understand why that would have disrupted the morning service on that line. witnesses say the smoke and flames could be seen for miles. the out-of-control fire burning straight through the roof of that warehouse. so far no injuries. bill: president obama take on critics of the iran deal while appearing on "the daily show"

with jon stewart. the president taking a number of shots, suggesting the previous administration would have done things differently. liz cheney is here with me. your father came up in the conversation this way. >> when you hear the critics say we could have got a better deal. what represents a better deal. what is it you think could happen? typically they are vague and they fall back on well if you beat your chest a little bit more. or if you brought dick cheney to the negotiations. everything would be fine. bill: what's that about? >> i think it's self-evident dick cheney would have gotten better deal. i'm not sure why the president was fixated on my dad.

bout of have been hard to have got and worse deal. you had a situation where john kerry and barack obama were so willing to make concession after concession. dick cheney wouldshot not have been willing to pay them $150 billion while see you hundred tailup his giving them pathway to nuclear what he importance. you have go down the list. he wouldn't have agreed to remove of the restrictions on iran's ballistic missile program or conventional weapons imports. for some reason dick cheney was on the president's mind. it's hard to imagine anybody who wouldn't have got and better deal given how bad this one is. bill: keep this in context with what has been happening in iran the past 7 days. yesterday the ayatollah said the

policy toward the arrogant u.s. won't change. he says whether the dice approved or disapproved we won't stop supporting our friends in the region. lebanon, bahrain. >> the president continues to assert some how the vaughnians will not use the $150 billion that they will receive when their after he sense are unfrozen that they won't use that money to fund terrorism. i think most people looking at that would say that's fantasy. those of us who have been critical of this deal could not have imagined it would be as bad as this is. we couldn't have imagined an american president would be willing to lift the restrictions on iran's ballistic missile program. that he would lift sanctions on

the -- the head of the quds force. bill: earlier in the day at pittsburgh, this is what the president said as well. >> instead of rushing into another conflict i believe sending our sons and daughters into harm's way must always be a last resort and before we put their lives on the line we should exhaust every alternative. that's what we owe our troops, that's strength and that is american leadership. bill: so the argument continues. it was either this deal or it was war. the critics will say all these decisions go back to one theme. anything but bush. and that obsession. >> i think it's important for people particularly in congress to understand that this deal makes more likely that you have a situation where for the first time the united states -- and we

dragged the international community along with us has agreed to allow iran to enrich uranium. when you take that step you immediately cause a situation where countries all across the arab world will be assessing whether they need to purpose nuclear weapons in order to defend themselves. the president has in fact by this deal made more likely not less likely. it's disingenuous to argue you have to choose his deal or war. liz cheney in washington. thank you. martha: another shocking undercover video of an executive from planned parenthood seeming to haggle over the prices or aborted baby parts. this is stunning and we'll talk about it with republican

presidential candidate mike huckabee. bill: this shows the escalation of a routine traffic stop. now there is an investigation into her death while in police custody. >> do you mind putting out your cigarette, please.

martha: she was arrested and died three days later in her jail cell. the cause of death remains in dispute. casey stegall joins us. how do the police say she died? >> reporter: authority are calling this a suicide. in addition to dash cam video we $surveillance video from the jail that shows emts outside the cell. the medical examiner's autopsy report concluded she took her own life. but the 8-year-old woman told her family after the arrest that she had been injured during the stop you are looking at and they are not buying the idea she killed herself. the trooper says he pulled bland

over for not using her turn signals to switch lanes. the texas lieutenant governor has commented on the circumstance. >> regardless of where the evidence appears to lead, we are going to look under every rock from every clue and at this point that's the proper thing to do. >> reporter: the trooper in that traffic stop had been with the department for about a year. he's on administrative leave. martha: what does the family say about this? >> reporter: they are not buying the fact that she killed herself. they ordered an independent autopsy and they are waiting for the result of that. last night there was a prayer vigil held at her college where family and friends say sandra bland just moved back to texas from chicago and was excited

about starting a new job at the college where she graduated from. they say there was no history that would suggest she is suicidal. critics suggesting there is a cover-up calling for a probe by the department of justice. state leaders vowing there will be transparency with the investigation, martha. bill: he's the former illinois governor secretly recording ripping his own voters. >> your grandmother [bleep] and when i get to that only 15% of you have think i'm doing a good job [bleep] you. bill: some of rob blagojevich's convictions are being overturned after he was convicted of selling a senate seat.

úr#b

martha: there is a shocking undercover video released of a planned parenthood official seeming to negotiate the sale of aborted baby parts with officials from a bio tech company. this video is hard to listen to and hard to watch.

>> martha: it's hard to know where to begin with going through this. i'm joined by former arkansas

governor mike huckabee. good morning. we hear her talking about the procedure, the he borings procedure and how they could alter it to make it less crunchy so that the specimens will be more intact to sell to this bio tech company. then she goes through it won't matter to the patients, even thought it's against the law to alter the method in order to get better specimens and the patients needs to sign off and she is not worried about that as a formality. what is your reaction? >> it's sickening and i think maybe it's time to talk deeper than just defunding planned parenthood which should have happened a long time ago. it's time for this country to decide whether or not we believe that the willful destruction of a human body, a human life and

talking about the selling of parts of a baby as if we were trading parts for a buick at an auto parts store whether it's time to decide that's not civilized behavior. we need the more serious thoughtful discussing ending this nightmare of abortion that's taken $60 million unborn babies since 1973. this reminds us, this is not about women's health. this is about making money off the destruction of human babies. martha: you have think about the efforts that have been undertaken in this country to save the environment to save animals and the passion attached to those issues. that's not ill placed passion in many ways. by the lack of tonight this area. brit hume talked about this last night on the kellyphile.

kellyd -- on the "kelly file." you cannot look away from those pictures and not understand that you are not talking about a bunch of cells here. you can talking about a forming heartbeating finger and toe possessing baby. >> science has made this a more you are gentle issue. people can prethenld this is -- can pretend this is a blob of protoclass many but it's not -- protoplasm. but it's not. the science of dna has given us clear indications that the dna is created at the very moment of

conception is the dna that will exist in that human imprint for the rest of that person's life if they live to be 105. let's quit kidding ourselves by saying it's not a human life. biologically it's human. and talking about the body parts and not going oh crunchy and the callousness in which she talks about it shows her conscience has been seared. america's night mayor of abortion needs to end. it's not enough to say let's not have so many. that nonsense we used to say about making safe and rare it's neither safe nor rare and it needs to stop. martha: clearly these videos have put it right back in front of everybody. and this will be an unavoidable

issue. what's the impact on the primary process do you have think? >> i would say thank god we are talking about it. how can we expect our civilization to survive if we destroy the most innocent and vulnerable among us. how can we pretend we are superior to nations that commit genocide if we commit infant d infanticide. it's time to put this out there and talk about it. i know a lot of republican primary donors, they don't want to talk about it. stay away way from these issues. i say no let's talk about it in the same way we once had to deal with slavery in this country and we decided one person cannot own another person.

it's immoral. for one person to take it life of another innocent person, can we not conclude that that, too be is immoral? that's what we need to be discussing. martha: and we'll no doubt in the process to come. i want to talk to you about iran. this is what the president had to say about the deal that he struck when he went on "the daily show" * yesterday. >> the deal we put together i can say that iran will not be able to get a nuclear weapon. we cut off the four major pathways forgetting a nuclear weapon. we have international unanimity around an inspection regime, and a verification regime that is unprecedented. martha: that's good news, right? >> no, it's not good news. this president is as naive as nerks vel chamberlain.

he believes if he wants it to be peaceful it will be. but the iranians have never kept a deal. even while they are charged "death to america" and wiping israel off the map. he believes if he gives matches and gasoline to a pyromaniac maybe they will behave. the two biggest lies in the world is for a teenaged boy say if you let me kiss you that's all we'll do. and for the iranians to say we are not interested in a nuclear bam. we need to stop pretending the iranians are anything but a terrorist state. and that's it. martha: we'll be seeing you a lot in the months to come. good to have you with us, governor. bill: fox news learning the secret service is scrambling after a security breach

overseas. growing concerns for the white house ahead of the president temperatures upcoming trip to kenya. what is this about? >> reporter: it's concerning. fox news learned kenyan aviation authorities have sent staff to nairobi's two airports the exact time that air force one is due to land in nairobi which is a huge security breach because the u.s. state department is saying the summit he's attending could become a terror target and they are on alettered. the main active terror group al-shabaab is known to have surface-to-air missiles. al qaeda terrorists tried to shoot down an israeli airliner in 2002 but missed'. there has been a second security

breach. a kenya airways official send emails out headlined. the obama visit to kenya giving the president's exact itinerary. we now understand the president will arrive in kenya at a different time. however, there has been another breach. today the nairobi news has published a new schedule for the president's arrival and departure, also giving the exact time. martha: a truck on fire upside down and two people trapped inside. bill: a young man brutally killed at the hands of some one in the u.s. illegally. he was only 18. his mother wants to know why her son's mid was allowed to stay in

brought him here illegally as a child. you are one strong human being. good morning to you. the details as you described them yesterday about your son's death is brute pal and they are graphic and you have the strength to tell america your story. the sad irony is we would not even know your story unless kate steinle was killed three weeks ago in san francisco. the things you had to say yesterday were so powerful i wanted to share one story. you said this is your family's 9/11 terrorist attack by a foreign invader. then you said they are not scared to come here, we are inviting them. the sanctuary cities say come on down. why is that, laura? >> i don't know why we are doing it. i can only speak for the

sanctuary cities in my area i know about. in my area the policemen's hand are tied. someone is telling them don't do your job you swore to uphold and it comes down through the mayor. then her boss and up and up. and i can't figure out where the break is. i believe policemen would pick people up if they committed a crime and turn them over to federal if the federals would pick them up and do something with them other than release them. bill: you said i know you will sympathize with our story but i wouldn't more than that. i want you to be angry that america's borders are wide open. did they hear that? >> i hope that they did. josh was an average kid. he's your kid. he's anybody's kid. he was an average kid learning and living and trying to figure out life for himself.

it's just so senseless. bill: kate's law has been brought up. do you think congress acts on that. >> i'm not certain about that. i'm shoot sure what case law it has in it. so i don't know. i hear about federal fund and take away from cities that don't cooperate. it's not the cities that won't cooperate, it's coming from their superiors. bill: you said he will be a 49-year-old man the convicted criminal in this case when he comes up for parole. then you said i don't expect him to be deported, i just hope he does not come to live in your city. that's powerful. >> it's the truth. >> did they your testimony to heart? what do they need to know from you, laura? >> just that this is happening

every day. we are losing children left and right. and it adds another layer to the trauma already who killed them should not have been in this country. if they were obeying federal laws in place it wouldn't have happened. how do you choose a law to follow? you can't cherry pick it. what many different about this one? bill: how do you get through every day? it's been five years? >> 4 1/, a little over. minute by minute. in the beginning it was a breath at the time. you learn to manage the pain. and sometimes it gets the best of you and sometimes you can be strong and speak the truth. bill: we send our strength your way, laura. thank you for sharing your story. live in washington, headed back to texas. martha: questions coming to the

surface now. could rod blagojevich soon be free? some of the former illinois governor's charges have been overturned three years into his sentence for trying to sell president obama's senate seat.

>> my base. right. i don't get any [bleep]. [bleep] you harry reid. martha: he has been in prison three years of his 14-year sentence. he was put there for trying to sell the senate seat of president obama that was vacated

in illinois. the judge said he will be resentenced but he won't be released. we haven't heard nose sound bites for quite some time. what's going on with this? >> his lawyer leonard goodman said this is not justice. and his advice is to fight on. a family and legal team of rod blagojevich hoped all of the convictions would be vacated across the board. 13 count remain and that means for the time being blagojevich remains in the the federal prison in colorado. >> we waited a long time for this decision. we are very disappointed. >> reporter: his oldest daughter amy broke down in tears during the press conference. she was in junior high when this process began.

she is now a freshman at university. she says it's a step in what she calls the right direction. bill: undercover video of a planned parenthood executeive" talking about selling baby parts. martha: we'll speak with one lawmaker that who says we must arm the troops at the centers now. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.

. >> we'll see. ed thanks. >> good to see you. bill: strong new calls to defund planned parenthood coming from the campaign trail. after two videos surfaced high-ranking officials appear to haggle over the price of body parts. republican presidential candidates quick to condemn planned parenthood.

here is the governor mike huckabee's take on. >> whether or not we previous the willful destruction of a human body, a human life talking about the selling of parts of a baby as if we were trading parts for a buick at an auto parts store, whether it's time to decide that that is not civilized behavior, we need to really have. serious, thoughtful discussion. bill: peter doocy. what is the thought republican candidates are trying to make here? >> reporter: first that a republican president wouldn't send any taxpayer money to a group at that may be selling feet tall tissue. >> they shouldn't be federally funded. second of all, i hope senate will rapidly pass unborn child protection act. third if democrats are so

fixated on providing taxpayer funding for abortion clinics, why don't they at least level playing field and provide equal amounts of federal funding for pregnancy centers? >> reporter: point two, a republican president would probe what appears to be a major crime. >> the u.s. department of justice if it were not simply a partisan arm of the dnc, should open an investigation and prosecute planned parenthood. [applause] >> reporter: cruz and 10 other senators written to the doj asking them to investigate planned parenthood. we don't know if that will happen. bill: have any prominent democrats come out in favor of cutting funding for planned parenthood? >> reporter: no. hillary clinton talking about the benefits of fetal research and bernie sanders saying this is old news. >> obviously i think see seal richards apologized for tone of that video.

i think her apology was exactly write. i think the staffer tone was terribly wrong. >> reporter: the people releasing these hidden camera videos want planned parenthood to lose taxpayer funding. they're apparently sitting on more footage. it is up to congress, no not the court of public opinion how much they do or do not get from all of us. bill: peter doocy in washington. martha has more. martha: steve hayes, writer for "weekly standard" and fox news contributor. good morning to you. >> good morning martha. >> this puts this issue as we spoke to governor huckabee on a the table when questions are asked of gop candidates and democrats as well? >> it starts to. i'm into the sure entirely, to make this real part of the discussion, republican candidates like carly fiorina, like mike huckabee and hopefully others making this part of the debate. we've seen so often the media reluctant to cover these kinds of issues reluctant to go and ask questions of democrats about

their support for this particular, these procedures. where planned parenthood more broadly. part of the problem reporters can't get close to hillary clinton to ask her these questions. even if they could far from clear to me they would ask the questions without the prompting of republican candidates, without republican candidates saying, as carly fiorina did i thought quite eloquently, saying in effect you've got to have this discussion we have to have this debate as a country. martha: when i spoke to governor huckabee moments ago, there are a lot of fund-raisers on republican side don't want this to be issue, but feels strongly this needs to be talked about. >> i think he is probably right. certainly been the case that the republican party i think shied away from a discussion of abortion for fear of losing suburban moms, this much fought-over demographic over past couple elections. there is a way to have the discussion i think that doesn't make it a discussion about

pro-choice, pro-life issues in the way that we have had that discussion before and carly fiorina made this point in the video she released. this is really beyond just that old discussion. this is talking about an institution that receives hundreds of millions of dollars in government support basically taking organs, taking body parts of infants, many whom would be viable outside of womb and selling them. that is entirely different question than the original debate or the sort of the post-row v. wade debate about abortion generally. martha: you imagine the other side of the debate showing videos to horrify. i can't imagine anyone not being horrified. the larger picture is women health. this revives the war on women argument steve and perhaps puts republicans in the position where they're on the defense again in some of that regard.

>> i don't think so. i don't think this will play like that. if that is the case democrats want to make, they should certainly make that case. i hope reportersthem about that. it is far less in this instance when you look at these videos and look at kinds of comments you're hearing from senior planned parenthood officials far less a case of any supposed war on women than it is a war on infants. and, that is the kind of debate i don't think that democrats want to get involved in. the polling, as i have said before, doesn't matter to me whether the polling on this issue politically is good for pro-life candidate or bad for pro-life candidates, there is moral obligation to make this arguement but as it happens i think the polling is in republicans favor in this case. they can making a around r an argument, these are the restrictions if abortion is legal, these are exactly kind of restrictions we ought to have what you can do with the babies who are taken. martha: forces a real conversation based on methods

used and reality we're talking about, i. it is unavoidable when faced with this evidence. steve, thank you very much. >> thanks martha. bill: nine minutes past the hour. flags at the white house are flying at half-staff in honor of chattanooga shooting victims. so why, why did it take five days for that to happen? maria: police in baltimore now released a new video. look at this scene. this is from the freddie gray riots, the day of his funeral. it paint as picture just how bad things really were. bill: emotional testimony of a family of kate steinle as the debate over sanctuary cities hits capitol hill. >> we feel if "kate's law" saves one daughter, one son, a mother, a father, kate's death won't be in vain.

bill: two men are lucky to be alive after fiery crash on california freeway. the minute crawled to safety after escaping from the upside down burning truck. accident shut down four lanes near sacramento. no word on the two men's condition. no word on what caused that crash but they are lucky. martha: fbi holding a briefing today on the investigation into the deadly shooting rampage on military facilities in chattanooga. we may get autopsy results for shooter, mohammad youssef

abdulazeez. fox news was told that the report is expected to be released today. a uncle of the shooter in jordan is in custody. so far they have not found any links between the uncle and terrorism. meanwhile flags at the white house are now at half-staff some five days after the fact. and the president still very careful not to label this attack islamic extremism. >> which don't yet know all the details behind the attack in chattanooga but we do know that al qaeda and isil encouraged attacks on american soil including against our servicemembers. this threat of lone wolves and small cells is hard to detect and prevent. martha: alan colmes host of the alan colmes show and fox news contributor. david navella of republican political action committee, go pac. alan what took so long with the flag. >> according to military code

you don't lower flag with those on active duty. if the white house were doing it should have done it right away and explained it because of unusual tragic circumstances. that is why they're doing it here. the flag code says you don't do it for those military. martha: lowered in newtown. understood. >> it was military. martha: understood. there was a feeling in the country people were just voluntary doing it at their own homes. whatever the cause it put them behind the eight ball. >> shouldn't have waited five days if they were going to do it. >> david? >> thankfully the president finally came around and did the right thing lowered flag to honored the four murdered marines but it really does underscore the president's viewpoint on foreign policy. his actions are abysmal. this iran deal is going to cause major problems for america down the road. and he can make fun of the vice president cheney last night on jon stewart, here is the fact. if dick cheney would still in charge the terrorist would know

we are taking the fight to them and america not allowing russia to decide foreign apologize. >> should apologize to america what he did for this country war in iraq and false information. he owes america an apology. martha: i want to stay looking at domestic issue of islamic extremism and inability to call it that. because that is what it is. and united kingdom david cameron spoke out very forcefully on this issue. he has very similar situation and here is what he said to the people of his country this week. >> if you're a boy, they will brainwash you, strap bombs to your body and blow you up. if you are a girl, they will enslave and abuse you. that is the sick and brutal reality of isil. martha: should our president be -- >> talking about isis. didn't say islamic extremism. martha: he clearly said it earlier in the speech. clearly said it. >> i think president is very wise not to define an entire religion this way and -- martha: nobody is talking about defining entire religion this

way. talking about identifying islamic extremism, alan. >> his view happens to be believe, i happen to believe this as well, people using cover of religion for something that has nothing to do with the religion of islam. martha: nobody is talking about the broader religion of islam. nobody is talking about the problem with the broader -- >> nothing to do with this. >> not uncommon when you don't understand the problem or how to defeat it not to know how to label it. and this president has shown time after time he doesn't know how to get america on the winning side of this war on terrorism. and thank god in 18 months we will have a new president who hopefully will take fight to terrorist. >> this president killed more al qaeda leaders. got bin laden. done more to attack those heading terrorist groups -- >> america is safer today because of this iran deal? >> absolutely. >> how many democrats will vote against it. >> i don't care. i don't speak for democrats. i think as progressive and liberal someone believes diplomacy over war. what is the alternative. >> the alternative to take fight to the terrorists if you mess with america you're going to

die. >> you want a war? >> i want to make sure america is safe. i -- martha: alan, david go back to the situation here at home because what david cameron is understanding is that people are being radicalized all across his country. he watched what happened in tunisia. he has seen what happened in the 777 attacks in london. he stood in the middle of one of most muslim neighborhoods in london and said, we need to face facts. we need to take this on. we can't tiptoe around it anymore. people are going to die. and we need to understand what we're talking about and we need to a i can tick late it. -- articulate it. i know this will be offensive to some people. but lives are at stake. why can't the president say that, alan. >> i will say what i just said. i reiterate very wise not to conflate religion with acts of extremism and radicalism which have nothing to do with what that religion is all about. wise not to use the word. only inflame people an cause

more problems. martha: people carrying out these acts have not problem connecting to the religion. >> using that religion, using word muslim or islamic as cover. has nothing to do with that religion. why should we play into that. >> we're not doing that, alan nowhere did extremism, terrorist extremism have anything to do with muslim faith. people have to try to kill america have to be called extremists and that is why we need to kill them. >> he is nothing to do with that faith. he is exactly right to do that. martha: thank you very much. david alan, see you next time. bill? bill: thank you, martha. breaking news. ferguson missouri right now introducing and announcing andre anderson as the interrim police chief. currently commander with glendale arizona, police department. he will move to missouri to take the position highlighted in the past year in so many so many ways. so that is what is going on in ferguson, martha. martha: well illegal immigrant

accused of killing kate steinle is due in court today. the debate heats up over what one lawmaker calls a national crisis. bill: also mysterious animal caught on camera, wandering through the neighborhood. what lurks there? no ordinary stray cat. look closely. >> when i got a call from neighbors saying kelly, don't go in your backyard. it's a big animal back there. it looks like a lion, whoa, that is a lion, lion. not like a play lion. it was a lion lion.

bill: fox news alert. illegal immigrant accused in the shooting death of 32-year-old kate steinle will appear in court today. francisco sanchez being held on five million dollars bail after

police say he gunned down steinle while she walked along a san francisco pier with her father 22 days ago. one man laying out how serious thissish has become. >> this is tremendously important crisis as i would call it, not just an immigration crisis but national security crisis. only six reasons why 13 colonies got together in the first place. six reasons. one was to provide for the national defense. bill: we have an author that writes for "washington post" among others. ruben, good morning to you. you have been critical of all politicians on both sides for quite some time as you watched this story for the past 25 years. perdue said it's a national security crisis. >> bill, thanks for having me back. he is wrong about that. it is hyperbole. sad and dispoint language. national security crisis as much

as economic problem. we have jobs americans will not do. done by illegal immigrants. even francisco sanchez, the alleged culprit in this case who deserves no mersky went to san francisco to look for jobs in the restaurant industry and construction industry but couldn't find any. people like david perdue a rookie senator, career in business as ceo of reebok and companies, he is only in senate seven months and made a rookie mistake. bill: ruben he brought numbers with him. center for immigration studies shows there are 340,000 criminal illegal aliens on the streets of america today. that is a lot. is he wrong? >> right. well tell you what, now i will fault other side, obama administration is to blame for this. they have deliberately confused public as to what constitutes a criminal alien. a criminal alien under the definition of the obama administration is your guard enter who came here illegally, deported and reentered.

when you reentered under the law he became a felon. so when it suited purposes of the obama administration they would count your gardener as criminal as he comes after you at night with the garden shears. that is not true. and so suit purposes to go in the other direction if you're compassionate they change the definition. so the obama administration -- bill: what was it in 2008 candidate obama said he would deport two mill illegals i believe was the phrase back then? >> and he did. bill: wrote about that in the "washington post" this week but that never happened. >> no it did happen. he deported 2 million people in the time he has been in office to please his supporters in organized labor because unions are really another culprit in this debate. they don't want to compete will legal labor at restaurants, hotels and construction sites. here is dynamic bill. politicians are not complicated they follow the money. republicans take care of employers because employers take care of them. democrats follow organized labor because they take care of them.

nuance and common sense, we got none of that from david perdue. bill: it is not money, is it? budget for dhs, department much homeland security is $41 billion. a large percentage of that goes to border security. >> and about 12 to $15 billion a year on the border. we have 20,000 border patrol agents bill. that is twice as many as fbi agents. obama deported two million people. he is, destroyed and divided hundreds of thousands of families. whatever republicans want to say about obama he has not been soft on the border. that is their narrative but it is just flat-out wrong. bill: will congress act now? what is your hunch after listening to, in fact here is jim steinle. must bring -- mustering all this courage has, three weeks to the day his daughter was killed in front of him. listen here. >> unfortunately due to disjointed laws and basic incompetence on many levels the u.s. has suffered a self-inflicted wound in the

murder of our daughter by the hand after person that should have never been on the streets of this country. bill: do wound like that heal through congress? are they listening or not? >> they never heal. anybody who has lost a child knows you never get over it. this is a terrible tragedy. terrible tragedy. but clearly congress i think is not ready to do this because takes political courage. one thing i heard that support is idea of denying funding to cities that thwart enforcement of immigration law. that is not an unreasonable position. that is fine thing to do. the problem is that fewer cities are doing that than we are led to believe because when the federal government wants somebody bill, they will find a way to get them. if i.c.e. wanted francisco sanchez they would have gone after him with warrant. they didn't do that now spinning it is sheriff's fault. the federal government blew up. bill: this runs deep. thank you for your view. we'll see what happens next. thank you for your time. martha? martha: donald trump is a lot of things. in this he is defiant.

watch. >> we have to attack hillary. she was the worst secretary of state in the history of the country. she has plenty to lose by. believe me, if i'm chosen i will beat hillary. i will also get the hispanic. vote. i employ thousands and thousands of hispanics of the they love me. martha: is he right about those votes? we'll show you brand new polls. bill: riots that rocked baltimore. new video rehe will having more chaos that unfolded after the death of freddie gray. >> across the street -- >> sorry, 600, units over by the bridge. send it fast. send it fast. we have them swinging around. they might come to you. getting destroyed with rocks and stuff. >> start spraying them with pepper fogger. >> i have down on the side of the mall.

audio that shows the chaos that played out on the streets after the death of freddie gray. >> reporter: the police in baltimore are outnumbered and fighting an angry crowd quite literally with their hands tied behind their backs. it was just the beginning. experts say the way in which police handled the first few hours led to even more violence and looting. take a listen to the police dispatch taiches as the riots start. >> i'm not going to let my guys get hurt. >> reporter: listen to the police commander's response.

>> do not go forward and do not chase them. move back. >> reporter: the baltimore police released 10 hours of usedio tapes and they show a police force ill equipped and a command staff clearly trying to hold their officers back. you remember the mayor of baltimore saying she wanted to give the rioters space to destroy. martha: we do remember that and we remember you breaking the story about her giving a standdown order to the police. does it come through in this video? >> reporter: the mayor keeps denying what we have heard. officers save the was made clear to them they were to showed back and not confront the most violent rioters and looters. essentially to not do their job. >>on the tapes there are repeated

call for officers down, officers under attack. they even used s.w.a.t. vehicles to evacuate the wound. police commanders on orders from city hall didn't let them westerly protective gear that would have prehaven'ted them from getting getting hurt. we've asked the mayor what she had to say to the officers hurt because of her orders. she did not answer and still has not to this day. bill: new polling showing hillary clinton lagging behind republican contenders in three battleground states. gentlemen good day to you. here we go.

hillary clinton iowa, colorado and virginia, first head-to-head match. hillary clinton against scott walker the republican governor from wisconsin she trailed across the board. marco rubio though tighter by 2 points. still she trails in the all three states. ed you wanton president you have to win in iowa, you have to win in colorado, you have to take virginia. what's going on? >> the trust issue is affect her favorability rating. you have a 56% unfavorability in iowa it shows an erosion and she just has a few months she has been running. if you goin the small campaign against any of these candidates, the majority of americans don't think you are trustworthy you

have a difficult time. bill: joe how do you analyze these numbers. >> they are not surprising at all. they are swing states. whoever the democratic nominee is will start off with 18 states that voted democratic in the last six elections. the problem for republicans is you have to win every single one of these swing states. and so the swing states is battleground states for a reason. they are going to be close and swing back and forth between now and november of 2016. this isn't where the clinton campaign would want to be. they are in the thick of it in all these states. bill: these are questions about honesty and leadership. you are excusing them. >> i'm not excusing anything. the fact is none of these three bush rubio or walker have a

lock on the republican nomination. they will have doubts raised about them during this campaign. right now in swing states in battleground states it will be close between whoever the nominee is in both parties and it will fight out in november. bill: let me show our audience joaquin i yak showed favorable unfavorable. ed you just shared joams analysis. do you agree? >> i think the unfavorable number, it's a hard number to move and a hard number to change especially when you have got a 30-year career, the public has watched you and made a judgment they don't trust you and don't particularly like you. what the premise shows any three of the major candidates in this race can give their all.

if we had those three states we are talking about today we win the 270 electoral votes. it's a close competitive race. in this case it's all about her. bill: given that bernie sanders is better than her in some states against the republicans. >> the republicans at this point have to win almost all of these swing states to get within the range of 270 because of the strength of the democratic party in the 18 states that deliver the 242. the problem is there will be $2 billion on each side spent in these 8 or 9 states by both parties in a campaign in which the democrats have to win one or two of them. bill: we'll see over time whether that changes.

you mentioned donald trump. he does worse than hillary clinton in these three critical states. his unfavorable is 58, and 5 and 61. my sense is he's at a peak. his support will erode. he's in a war with the republican party as opposed to a war with clinton. he favorables will change for the republicans as they have for trump. one of them will get the nomination. we'll see what their favorables are going into the november election. bill: thank you ed. aa reminder to our viewers. fox news and facebook team up for the first republican debate. we are live in cleveland. you can submit questions. go to facebook.com/foxnews.

fire away right now. send us those so we can get a feel for what's on your mind. a push to support our service members following the attack in chattanooga. >> i want to protect our soldiers the best possible and high standard we can. but we want to couple the best solution. i don't want to rush to something and make a mistake. martha: in some towns volunteers are standing guard in a very patriotic mode to protect the recruiting centers on their own because the military can't take any guns into those recruiting centers. bill: you you will not believe what's lurking in the neighborhood of that backyard in

wisconsin. look real close.

martha: there is a new push to arm troops at military recruiting centers in the wake of the deadly attacks in chattanooga. it would allow service members at those facility to be armed which is illegal under current federal law. it's and move the army chief of staff supported yesterday. >> as far as arming recruiters go i think that's a complicated legally. and there are issues involved throughout the country. we'll have to come to grips with that. >> do you think they should under certain conditions be armed? >> i think under certain conditions both on military bases and in outstations recruiting station wheeze should seriously skirt and in some cases i think it's appropriate.

martha: he's going to be one to watch. governors in 11 states have stepped in and ordered the arming of personnel at recruiting centers. recruiters have been taken off the streets in other states and told to work in armories. senator were welcome it's good to have you with us today. why is it so difficult. what are the technicalities? why aren't these people armed in the first place in these facility? >> the question many of us are asking in washington. the five service members who lost their lives in that tragedy in chattanooga they were not the result of a random act of violence. they were targeted by a jihadist. some of those members served in iraq and afghanistan. were on foreign soil given a firearm to defend themselves. but when they return to u.s. soil in a recruiting station

they are not allowed by law to have a firearm. americans are scratching their head. you mean a marine, army soldier, air force member cannot have a firearm at recruiting station to protect themselves is frankly ridiculous. we must do all that we can to protect those who are protecting our nation, to defend those who are defending our nation. martha: one of those scratching his head and did something about it was on last night with megyn kelly. >> many times people walked up to me and said do you have a permit for that? i said no this is 100% legal. i'm open carrying these weapons. but the men and woman trained and disciplined and prepared to defend themselves and others are not allowed to have weapons. martha: 11 states have started a

protection facility. what would you do to open the way for perhaps one individual at these centers to be armed for protection. >> we know that the jihadists have painted a target on any man or woman who weared the uniform of the united states military. so this just allows the option, the option for these members of the military to carry a side arm. to have a firearm to defend themselves. i think we are scratching our head about the gun-free zones like this recruiting center. that invade a terrorist who knows the law-biegd citizens won't be carrying a gun. it goes back to that fundamental truth. the fastest way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. martha: whenever we get into these debates, they say the many a strip mall. it's an open, public place what

do you say to that argument? >> we are saying that a u.s. marine at at recruiting station should be allowed to carry a side arm. we see police officers walking our streets carrying side arms. they are trained. this is a way to be a deterrent to prevent a tragedy from happening when the jihadist knows if they open fire at a recruiting center they will be fired back on. martha: one of the first terror attacks in this country was in arkansas in little rock at recruiting center when this young man lost his life in a driveby shooting by a jihadist. keep us posted on how your legislation goes. bill: jon scott is coming up next. jon: a nightmare blind date end in death. a woman shoots and kills a man

she net online. some terrifying details emerge. what was found in his car and how many other women may have fallen victim to this dangerous predator. >> a mob storms the british embassy in tehran forcing it to close its gates. bill: it was suppose to be a victory tore working americans. critics say in one city a higher minimum wage could be doing more harm than good.

bill: a year after passion the highest minimum wage in the country, they are now grappling with the unintended consequences. >> reporter: it went to $11 an hour. some people figured out with the pay raise they will make too much money to stay on certain welfare programs. in the last few months some of them asked their bosses for fewer work hours because they are afraid of losing their benefits. this counters the argument that it will lift people out of poverty. >> you make $1,000 too much you are not eligible for food assistance, why would you want to continue those hours and why would you want to stay back.

los angeles and san francisco followed seattle to adopt the minimum wage. all of l.a. county went to a $15 minimum wage. we are seeing higher prices virtually every where. one iconic restaurant raised prices 15% and they are discouraging tips. we also have seen long-time restaurants here in seattle close even though the economy is doing very well here. so unintended consequences we are seeing in seattle and elsewhere. bill: dan springer is on that story in seattle washington. martha: people are having trouble with a large stray cat. look at this. it appears to show a lion

sauntering down the road. several sightings but nobody knows what kind of big cat it is though officials think it might be a mountain lion. but people are saying it's not a mountain lion. it's a lion lion. bill: it's a big cat. the illegal immigrant accused of killing kate steinle is back in court and the debate over sanctuary city laws heats up across the nation. connections you almost miss. and ones you never thought you'd make. we help connect where you are. to places you never thought you'd go. this, is why we travel. and why we continue to create new technology to connect you to the people and places that matter.
