tour? >> in the after show show we're going to harmonize with you as you perform the song you did earlier on the program. >> oh help us. >> 60 years could end now. ♪ i'm an american ♪ bill: morning everybody. a fox news alert. a stark warning from the head of the f.b.i. james comey saying isis is a bigger threat to the united states than al qaeda. he's urging muslims who cannot travel -- he said through social media muslims are urged to kill where they are. bill: a blistering report finds lax oversight at the irs that's still putting some americans at risk of being unfairly audited.
6:01 am
martha: the irs commissioner is set to face congress after a report finds groups were audited on their political and ridge views. >> we learned the rules for selecting who gets tax exempt status and who doesn't and who gets audited and who doesn't are easy to break. fundamental irs wants to deviate from the structure in place they don't even have to ask their boss. when that's the case, the concern is they can be singled out for audit based on political or religious beliefs that an
6:02 am
employee at irs doesn't like. 12% to 30% of cases where a case is flagged for scrutiny, there is no follow-up. the concern is with no oversight, nothing is going to change. bill: the president said it's a poorly written law and targeting isn't happening. is there proof groups have been targeted recently? >> there is not in this report. the irs commissioner is set to be questioned on capitol hill once again today. the report includes 10 suggestions for guaranteeing fairness. we are about to see how receptive he is to those suggestions. >> we'll watch that hearing from here. thanks in washington. martha: the obama administration
6:03 am
is ready to defend the iran nuclear deal before congress. secretary of state john kerry will testify in front of the foreign relations committee as congress begins its review of the landmark agreement. so what do we expect to hear in there today? >> this hearing will start in just under an hour. in the hot seat will be three key members of the obama administration. the secretary of state the treasury secretary and the energy secretary. all three are expected to mount vigorous defenses. the same three were on capitol hill for back-to-back briefings. most republicans walked out still strongly opposed. >> it's not a choice between a
6:04 am
bad deal and a war it's a choice between a good deal and a terrible deal. >> we are convincedth the agreement we arrived at with world powers is an agreement that will prevent iran from potential of securing a nuclear weapon. it will make our region, our friends and allies safer it will make the world safer. >> reporter: congress has 60 days to review this deal. martha: will the administration address this? >> reporter: the secret side deals were brought to light yesterday by two republican law make horse just got back from vienna. they said while they were there officials with the iaea told
6:05 am
them the u.n. nuclear watchdog reached two side deals with iran these are side deals congress and the american public knew nothing about. >> there are at least two side agreements congress does not have. >> reporter: the white house said they were aware of these side deals but they denied withholding any documents or agreements with iran. i think today you can expect tough questioning on capitol hill. bill: here in new york city there were thousands in times square demanding congress vote down the deal with iran. former cia director james woolsey a former new york golf and presidential candidate george pataki urging lawmakers
6:06 am
to block the deal. >> we'll talk to the brother of jason rezaian. he's a "washington post" reporter among four americans still being held in prisons in iran. he wants to know why there is nothing the nuclear deal that addresses his brother's ordeal other other americans held in tehran. jason was literally ripped out of his home and thrown in prison and they have never been given a reason or substantial charges on that. bill: donald trump talk about his options if he's not the republican nominee. trump was asked whether he would run as a third party candidate. so many people want me to if i don't win. i'll have to see how i'm being treated by the republicans that
6:07 am
would be a factor. what will decide this third party issue as of today? what did he say? >> reporter: he talked about this before. but this is the if you are -- -- this is the furthest he has gone. he is putting the rnc on notice. you try to rig the process and he will take a third-party bid. bill: if that would be the case, who would he help and who would he hurt. >> if he runs a third-party bid it would hurt the republican party and hofort gop presidential nominee is. as far as now i think he's taking votes away from ted cruz, carson as well as probably rand paul. bill: he goats to the mexican
6:08 am
border today with texas. another example of him driving the news cycle by his words or actions. >> reporter: absolutely. donald trump is very media savvy. his years being in the business sector is certainly helping him. he sat down with us for 40 minutes. he's enjoying the spotlight. i asked him if he's liking running for president because he has been taking a lot of arrows in the back and he says he is enjoying it. bill: thank you. martha: a reminder for everybody to mark your calendar for august 6. that's as fox news and facebook team up day for the first presidential debate. it will be a big day of the 2016
6:09 am
campaign. you can submit your questions to facebook.com and tell us what you would like to hear asked on that big day. bill: terrifying moment on the high seas. that is a fire breaking out on across thiewng cruise liner. passengers running for cover as smoke billows from the top of that ship. martha: new questions about the planned parenthood controversy executive caught on video allegedly talking about selling body parts of babies for profit. it's a gruesome tale and we are joined shortly by republican presidential candidate rick santorum who is very unhappy with how his own party is
6:10 am
handling this issue. bill: a troubling warning from the head of the f.b.i. who says isis is a bigger threat to the united states than al qaeda. >> what keeps me up at night is probably these days the isil threat in the momentland, i worry have much about what i can't see. quicker smarter earlier fresher harder and yeah, even on sundays. if that's not what you think of when you think of the united states postal service watch us deliver. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

6:14 am
martha: a massive fire break out on one of the world's largest cruise ships. that's smoke billowing out of the top of that ship when it was pulling into a port in jamaica. the ship left florida sunday for what was supposed to be a 7-night trip. the fire broke out in a mechanical area and was quickly put out. the cause of the fire is as we say under investigation. >> the more i hear about this agreement the more concerned i become. of all the issues we have before us. this is the most critical. we have to get this right because the world will never be the same. bill: house majority leader kevin mccarthy. congress begins a two-month review of that agreement today
6:15 am
and secretary of state will be testifying 45 minute from now. my guest now senator welcome to you. there is a closed door briefing with secretary kerry last night. was he convincing? >> not to me he wasn't. we voiced our outrange, bill, we fought hard to represent the people of america to give us a 60-day oversight period. yet in the first week before we had a chance to have our first meeting the administration goes to the united nations and seeks their approval and gets it. i have been measured in this thing. the goal all along was to be sure that this deal precluded iran from becoming nuclear. i read every page in this document. i read the classified document and i'm convinced it failed in
6:16 am
that regard. >> that would be the bottom line. did you ask him about any time, anywhere inspections? >> that was probably most of what we talked about. by the way iran actually has a long period of time. some 24 days plus to allow inspects to go into these facility but we are finding out there are even side deals. in parchin there is a side deal between iran and the iaea which allows iran to take the samples and the iaea will only monitor it on video. it's not just about our own security. it's about the security of the free world. bill: you may have to have a veto-proof majority. where are your democratic colleagues on this? >> i was encouraged when we got
6:17 am
a unanimous vote out of committee and a 8 -- and a 98-1 vote to get a review of this. i think kevin mccarthy got it right in your lean-in. we have got to get this right. bill: is chuck schumer going to approve this deal or not? >> i know senator mendez and senator conner have grave concerns about this. we want to give democrat a good open look at this thing and give us a chance to develop a bipartisan consensus. we recognize this is bigger than
6:18 am
partisan politic and i'm hopeful our democrat and republican colleagues will move to reject this deal. that's where we are working behind the scenes. bill: you know more than 100 former american ambassadors signed a letter that gave their thumbs up for this deal. the key phrase in that letter says if properly implemented. one of the signees was ambassador ryan crocker. that must have sway with people like you. does it? >> what has sway with me, bill, are the word in this document. even if you implement this document the president himself said that the breakout time goes to zero. secretary kerry says if they do we'll know by the. but it does not preclude them from becoming a nuclear weapon state. that's what sways me, bill. thank you senator.
6:19 am
18 past. martha? martha: some social security benefit may dry up fairly soon for millions of americans. coming up we'll tell you who is affected and what congress could do to fix it. bill: a runaway trolley barreling through the streets of a major american city. now, you ask how in the world this happened. >> there was a huge man sitting in the front row with a clear view. my husband and i both knew we had no brakes. when heartburn comes creeping up on you... fight back with relief so smooth... ...it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source.
6:23 am
charlotte, north carolina. you are on a streetcar rolling out of control down a hill before hitting an suv. no one on the trolley was hurt but you can hear everybody screaming. the investigation is not over. authorities say they think the brakes were working which could point, they say to human error. charlotte, north carolina. >> there are some major cuts coming to social security. recipients likely will not see the cola they usually get in 2016. and the disability trust fund will dry up in 2016. that triggers a 19% cut in benefit but this could be avoid if congress pulls tax revenue from the social security retirement fund. let's start with social
6:24 am
security. >> this is the only program that has cola benefits and cost of living benefits. they are say nothing cost of living pea justment this year. there was a small one last year. but there is inflation building in system. we have housing increase. and wages rising. social security says their prices aren't going down. martha: what about disability. that trust fund is going dry up the next year? >> reporter: we are look at benefits falling $193 a month from $1,070. 11.1 million americans on
6:25 am
disability compared to 7 million when the president took office. tom co-burn says people are taking advantage of this system. he says many of them have never even been to the doctor for the claims they are making under disability. martha: there are so many stunning things in what you just said that it want to break it down. when president obama came into office. 7 million people were on disability. now there are? >> reporter: 11.1 million. martha: why is there such a dramatic increase in people not being able to work. >> this is a great benefit you never get off. you collect these benefits on and on. we read amall seals of these programs. we have this growing base of
6:26 am
people who don't work who are not looking for work, you have to go back to the 1970s to find a period in which the workforce is smaller. martha: how long is this sustainable? report not at all. martha: are we greece or spain? do we have such deep entitlement debt it will spiral out of control? >> reporter: what they might do is borrow from social security benefits to help the disability people. you and i both know the people who receive social security benefits are penal who paid into the system. they should get the money. martha: means testing. thank you very much. good to have you here. bill: shocking undercover video
6:27 am
shows a planned parenthood executive apparently haggling over the price of body parts. martha: new details to talk about today in this story. the death after woman who was in police custody days after this encounter with a state trooper. her family is disputing the claims that she committed suicide. in look at this as her sister, i feel like the officer was pick on her and i think it was petty. 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. so you're a small business expert from at&t? yeah, give me a problem and i've got the solution. well, we have 30 years of customer records. our cloud can keep them safe and accessible anywhere. my drivers don't have time to fill out forms. tablets. keep them all digital.
6:28 am
6:30 am
at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. bill: ash carter's surprise advice tonight iraq today as iraqis and american officials are finalizing plans on what could be a major offensive. what's the purpose of this trip there. >> there are several reasons for
6:31 am
the trip. to talk about the ongoing fight against isis. this has been a long time coming since isis took control of ramadi. a critical and strategically pl miles west of baghdad. obviously secretary carter carter will be meeting with officials to talk about the fight and u.s. training. secretary carter made that aunannounced visit to baghdad. today he did meet with both u.s. and iraqi military officials to discuss that major assault on ramadi. u.s. military officials say it could happen within one to 8 weeks. secretary carter was critical of iraqi troops back in may when
6:32 am
they were -- when they retreated from ramadi saying they lacked the will to fight and they left behind u.s. weapons and vehicles. today he went to an iraqi base to see the troops in action and see how the training is going by u.s. troops. he also met with iraqi's defense minister. later this evening bill, secretary carter will be meeting with u.s. troops. he will go to one of the obvious bases to give them encouragement and support as we wait to see when this assault on ramadi begins. it's likely to be a bloody and violent attempt. martha: new fallout from the undercover video appearing to
6:33 am
show a plan the parenthood director haggling over lunch over the price of aborted baby parts. the staffers of a pro-life group posing as a medical research group. our next guest slams his own party's leadership saying they are afraid of this issue. rick santorum is a former presidential candidate. this has gotten a tremendous amount of attention renewed due to these two videotapes. i think people on both side of the argument whether you are pro-life or pro-choice are horrified by what they are hearing discussed yet you are saying there are many in the gop saying let's not go there. >> what have you seen on the floor of the house and the senate. we control both parties. have any hearings been held?
6:34 am
martha: the house is conducting an investigation. >> the bottom line is this is a horrific video that shows the extremism of the apportion movement. if this were the other side and they had such a video that showed extremism there would have been votes investigation and it would have been continuous from the beginning. they would not have let up. why? politically. it shows we are not afraid of these issues and we know they are important for our base to understand we are not afraid of these issues. we are convincing a whole bunch of americans who are uncomfortable on both side. most people in america are just really uncomfortable in this issue and wish it would go away. but when they see this, they are like wait a minute.
6:35 am
i need to rethink my position. maybe we have gone too far. it's an opportunity to show the extremism of the other side. we choose not to do it because we are afraid of offending people and the media beating us up. we can't -- if we don't play offense on these issues we ultimately play defense. and if we play defense we lose. martha: the argument is the war on women argument will be -- they will be so happy to say here they go again. the gop wants to take away your rights and they are using this extreme video to sell that argument. don't let them take await broader course of women's health and step on your rights and options as a woman. >> twhament we are afraid of. instead of focusing on plan the parenthood it was started by an
6:36 am
organization that wanted to eliminate the black race. hillary clinton received an award on behalf of margaret sanger. the you -- the eu gerks nics was used by the nazis. martha: what question would you want asked? >> are you going to defund plan the parenthood. there is no reason federal dollars should go into an organization that has provided abortions. there are more videos to come. as we have seen in some of these video investigations. there are more to come. i suspect you will see more egregious things happen. the republicans need to be on the forefront calling for
6:37 am
planned parenthood. in addition to providing abortions and selling baby parts. they should not be funded by taxpayer dollars. this is an issue republicans democrats should be able to rally around. martha: we'll see what their answer is. in terms of this potential for a third party run by donald trump how does that impact this? >> i'm not worried about that right now. i think the process donald trump talks about is the rnc going to be fair. i think they have been fair to him. i don't think there is anything the rnc would do or should do. he will get the opportunity to make his case. if he's hinging on whether the process will be fair. i'm not concerned at all. martha: we were talking about
6:38 am
social security and disability. what would you do? these programs are going bankrupt. you have got 4 million more people on disability now than when president obama took office. >> this administration has exploded every entitlement program. why? because the administration sent out a template the way you determine if you are helping people is by giving more government benefit. the northeast president has to -- the new president has to step away from from that. oftentimes you get on disability and you are on forever. a lot of these claims need to be reviewed on a regular basis. martha: some people get a social security check and disability check or unemployment and disability. they start hearing from hillary
6:39 am
clinton, everybody else on that stage is going to start chipping away at that money for you. that will be powerful. how are you going to convince people they are better off reforming the system. i think there is a small group of people relatively speak that are probably gaming the system. you can't have public policy saying you might lose their votes if you go after these things. you have to do what's right for the taxpayer. the main social security -- the old age survivorship program is also in trouble. it's going to go into desit in two or three years and ultimately run out of bond to redeem and in the next 15 years. we have to address all those issues in a comprehensive way. chris christie put idea on the table. every republican candidate if they are serious about wanting to run for president need to
6:40 am
put idea on the table. all of these means tested entitlement programs, i have done that. bill: 20 minute before the hour. next generation terror more dangerous to american than al qaeda we are told. >> we are trying to find needles in a haystack. many of those needles are invisible to us and it's worrisome. bill: adam kinzinger congressman, will be here next on that. martha: le bron james take his talents to hollywood. a new studio deal sparking rumors of a sequel to a hit 90s comedy.
6:43 am
the likes of which the world has never seen. this is what we do. ♪ that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. if i buy a car through usaa, i know i'm getting a fair price. i was like, wow, if i could save this much, then i could maybe upgrade a little bit. we realized, okay, this not only could be convenient we could save a lot of money. usaa car buying service. powered by truecar. save money zero hassle.
6:44 am
martha: the basketball star's production company says he could star in "space jam." bill: they could go broadway and do "the king and i." martha: he could. i like that idea. we'll see what we get. >> isil is not your parents' al qaeda. it's a different model and it's the threat we are worried about in the homeland most all. isil is trying to reach al qaeda would never use as an operative.
6:45 am
they are often unstable, troubled drug users. they will vet an operative by tasking him. saying go kill somebody. bill: the f.b.i. director james comey weighing in on isis. quite a statement. how is that jv team looking today? >> not very good. this was the discussion when you saw isis riseing are up. when you suave what we thought was al qaeda moving into fallujah the president said look a different way it's not a big deal. when the director says isis is a bigger threat than al qaeda. it's not that al qaeda has been diminished. but isis has grown to where it
6:46 am
eclipses al qaeda. we are almost at the one-year anniversary of taking action against isis and it doesn't appear they are weakened. bill: we were told isis has no plans of attacking in the united states. this changed entirely in less than a year's time. what comey says specifically is there are 21,000 english speaking followers on twitter of isis. of that 1,000 he believes thousands are here in the united states. now, you get a sense of why he says he is most concerned about what he cannot see. >> let's say 10% are willing to commit violence. that's 200 people. imagine if there is 200 people willing to go to the same lengths of doing that. this is a 21st century war and
6:47 am
we have to think in a 21st century way. i'm getting tired of tiptoeing around the real issue. rallying the people from the oval office to defeat isis. but instead we are more concerned of appeasing the iranians with a deal. it's time for merit can people to stand and say under my watch we'll destroy the threat of isis because we docket and here is how. bill: he was at the pentagon two weeks ago talking about this. >> i don't think he has bad intentions. i don't think he knows how to lead. he came into office to end wars in the middle east and the reality is very different. he went to the pentagon to make sure the chiefs were all in line with what their words were because they were coming to capitol hill.
6:48 am
there is no force like isis that can stand against the u.s. military and intelligence community and western allies but the president has not sufficiently rall -- rallied the american people top that cause. bill: what are you looking for sir? >> i think inle oval office they have a different point of saying this is a serious moment. he can outline where isis came from and radical jihadism like al-shabaab and say here is how we are going address it. it will probably take more troops. it will definitely take special forces action against the leaders to develop more and more targets and continue airstrikes. but i think the american people want to know the president has a handle on this and he is clear eyed focused on destroying isis.
6:49 am
if he does that he will find a lot of allies in washington. >> you think so? that's the way he could recruit people like to you his side? >> if he can show us a clear path to victory and rally the american people we won't play partisan politics. instead i see a president who's too weak to take on the cancer we see. martha: a fast moving wildfire forcing thousands of people out of their homes. hundreds of needed to join this family. bill: a woman found dead in a jail cell days after dash cam video of this arrest went public.
6:53 am
bill: a massive warehouse fire in new jersey is mostly contained. 200 people forced out of the neighborhood due the air quality concerns. 8 businesses destroyed wet warehouse caught fire yesterday. the size of that thing is enormous. the investigation will begin when the fire is finally put out. martha: new details in the death after woman in a texas jail days after this encounter with a state trooper.
6:54 am
troopers claim she committed suicide. but family members claim the trooper was abusive. >> reporter: this is coming from the booking document given to us by the jail. sandra bland told the officers she was not suicidal at the time of her arrest. but then take a look at this questionnaire. a couple of questions stand out. she indicated that she did attempt suicide last year by taking pills after losing a baby. right under that she indicates she recently experienced the loss of her godmother. defends say they found bland hanging in her cell by a plastic trash can liner. but her family insists the 28-year-old was happy and would not have taken her own life and they were not aware of any conditions she was suffering
6:55 am
from. >> we take issue with the notion she was suffering from depression. she was never clinically diagnosed as this family understands. everybody has hills and valleys. and the bottom line is there was no medication she was taking to address any sort of he lech scissor depression. >> reporter: the f.b.i. and the texas rangers in a joint investigation looking into this death. martha: what about the autopsy. what are they looking for there? >> reporter: one was completed by the harris county medical examiner's office in houston and the cause of death was determined to be suicide by asphyxiation. but the physical altercation seen in this dash cam video released. at the time of her arrest her family ordered an independent autopsy suspecting some sort of
6:56 am
cover-up. but the results have not been made public. bland's body is back home with her family in the chicago suburb. her funeral is scheduled for saturday. bill: minutes from now a looming showdown on capitol hill. john kerry about to take questions from congress on the nuclear deal. martha: an airliner forced to make an emergency landing after what some are describing as a mystery illness that struck many people on board. ooh pizza rolls! ahh! they're ready! make summer awesummer with totino's pizza rolls. and get a free movie
6:59 am
martha: here we go. critical hearing about to get underway in congress, the first of several. there is chairman bob corker as he gets settle, ready to go here. secretary of state john kerry will face a difficult task at the hearing table here of trying to convince lawmakers that the deal that he struck with five
7:00 am
other countries and iran is indeed a good deal. he has his work cut out for him this morning as we watch that scene in washington. welcome everybody, to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. congress starting today has 60 days to review this agreement. extremely unpopular among many republicans even among some democrats for are that matter. some in republican leadership are promising they will do whatever it takes to scott i will this deal with iran. martha: bret baier joins us now who kangs "special report." what do you think? >> there will be tough questioning for secretary kerry and secretary moniz and secretary lew. there will be a lot of questions dealing with what we learned yesterday were the side deals between the iaea and iran. what exactly are in those? congress by all accounts has not been briefed on it. frankly the administration has
7:01 am
not been fully briefed, we don't think, with all the documents of that side deal as part of this broader deal. that also deals with verification of facility called parchin, which is a place where iran covertly before was believed to put together its nuclear program with a weaponnization program. you also will probably hear about the anywhere, anytime, any place, inspections and what happened to that in the negotiations. and, the lifting of the u.n. arms embargo. all of those things really a problem for not just republicans but several democrats. martha: yeah. as you point out, bret, the issue that came up yesterday of these two side deals cuts congress out. that is their take on it at least at this point. they were told they would have oversight over this entire agreement and now, according to tom cotton and one other senator, they are being told there are two agreements nobody knows b that would really undercut a deal they believed they were a part of. >> frankly martha, it has been
7:02 am
undercut already. the fact that the administration went to the u.n. security council before going through this process in congress. i bet you hear senators weigh in on that as well. remember that international train has already left the station. the u.n. has voted unanimously to move forward. you have the e.u. moving forward with lifting sanctions. and, what congress does really deals with the u.s. sanctions. and while they could have the votes to turn it down and who knows, maybe they could have the votes to override a presidential veto, you still have international community moving forward, no matter what the u.s. congress does. martha: i'm looking at bob menendez right now and he and senator corker were among those who really wanted to get through the legislation meant they would have oversight on this deal. that it would be in their control somewhat and the votes that you mentioned, it's a pretty big stretch by most people's assessment of this they would get 67 to be able to
7:03 am
override a veto. there is a lot of public sentiment against the deal. huge rally last night. pretty good rally, in new york city, and we may see more of that, bret, so the american people have to answer to. >> i think you will martha. bob menendez is one. chuck assume in new york is in another position where he probably has real reservations about this deal. the fact that the vice president was up on the hill lobbying democrats, the fact they are burning up the phone lines calling democratic senators and representatives shows concern that the administration may have as far as counting heads if this thing starts going the other way. martha: yeah. we're looking at some of these scenes. both rejoicing in the streets of tehran and also protesting in the streets of new york on this deal. and i would imagine, bret, that there will be questions about how we could be constructing a deal with a country whose leader, spiritual leader, eye toll law khamenei, look our
7:04 am
relationship with the very aggressive united states of america doesn't change with this deal. >> what iranians are saying publicly, martha, is really not helping the obama administration's cause. the iranian foreign minister yesterday talling iranian lawmakers essentially he had gotten everything he had wanted and that all of the nuclear facilities will stay in players and all of the red lines that they had were met according to the iranian foreign minister. touting this deal as a real win not only a financial windfall but keeping the program they have intact. the more they talk about that, and it is for internal consumption, we're listening in and so are law makers on capitol hill and become as bit harder for the administration. martha: senator marco rubio is among those on the committee and a presidential candidate. we're a couple day weeks away from the debate and what is the question for all the republicans that want to be the nominee when
7:05 am
it comes to this? >> we don't want to tell them. we can't tell them here. there are many questions in regard to the iran deal. not only how to deal with it but deal with it going forward. there is a split in the republican presidential candidates what to do on day one. scott walker says rip up the deal. jeb bush says, you know you have to get your cabinet in place. you have to work all the aspects of this. remember we'll be in a different situation in 2017 in regards to this deal no matter what happens with congress. and how the republican candidates deal with that at that time i think is one of the questions that i'm sure will be tossed in that one. martha: we'll go back there when they get underway. bret, thank you very much. we'll see you tonight. >> thank you martha. bill: here is another fire, physically. all-out battle against raging out of control wildfire in california. this is night video here forcing mandatory evacuations. hundreds of firefighters joining the fight to slow down the flames.
7:06 am
they're doing what they can now. william la jeunesse live from the west coast newsroom on this a massive fire. six square acres -- square miles already. what we know about it today william? >> reporter: the fire, began bill, after a car wreck sparked nearby brush. because of very dry conditions up and down california and winds up to 30 miles an hour, this fire exploded. this is near a lake 100 miles north of san francisco in very steep terrain, just 5% contained. growing as you said from zero to 6,000-acres in just 18 hours. 400 firefighters, several air tankers on scene. the fire has brought evacuations to several campgrounds. also about 150 homes under threat and also closed a major highway. >> my husband was a little bit more calm, he said it is not as close as you think. i don't care, it is close enough. i want to get out of here.
7:07 am
>> really depends on the wind. if the wind starts kicking this way and it jumps over all hell could break loose. >> reporter: as you can see it is fairly rural area. it is fairy easy to evacuate. the bad news, bill, it is very hard to get resources in now. it is pretty much a air attack. bill: another fire in glacier park in montana. what is the story on that? >> reporter: that is dangerous fire that began on tuesday. doubled overnight at 4,000-acres. couldn't come at worse time. july is busiest time of the month about 7,000 visitors. the main road through is closed. this is heavy timber. much of the northwest is very dry. when at fire like this gets going you pretty much need mother nature to stop it. minor showers are expected. a double-edged sword. you get rain but also lightning. context 5.5 million-acres
7:08 am
burned compared to 1.5 last year. i just got off the phone with the national weather service regarding the montana fire, bill. they need to get major storms on sunday and monday which will does the fire if you will. that will bring rain meantime. that is a danger almost a season-ending storm for that fire. back to you. bill: they will need some time before that right? or they will have some time. william la jeunesse live in l.a. martha: 20 minutes, jurors in colorado will resume their deliberations in the penalty phase of the james holmes trial. in the early stages deciding whether holmes should be executed or sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing 12 people at a movie theater? aurora three years ago. alicia acuna has been on the story from the very beginning and she joins us now from the county courthouse in centennial colorado. a leash sharks the opening day did not go really as attorneys on both sides planned, did it? >> reporter: that's right
7:09 am
martha. the jury surprised almost everyone by not immediately deciding whether or not james holmes was eligible for the death penalty. this is before they even get to deliberating life or death. under colorado law, capital punishment is decided by a jury which hands down three different verdicts before we even get to a conclusion. the three phrases sentencing are aggravation where prosecutors prove holmes should be put to death. mitigation, when defense experts, family and friends attempt to sway the jury to spare him, finally victim impact where holmes and the jury hear from the lovered ones from those killed. both expect the jury to come to quick could anclusion that holmes met one aggravating to factors but they went home without a verdict at that point. they must prove the intent to kill child under age of 12. the defense said holmes never specifically targeted children. 6-year-old veronica sullivan was shot four times.
7:10 am
james holmes the victim's impact statement would be how it affects her. the judge said no. she will be allowed to testify during the victim impact stage. martha: a lot of pain on all sides. the defense needs one juror to save his life, right? >> reporter: exactly. that could happen at any point. today, for example, no matter how unlikely it seems, one juror could decide that james holmes is not eligible for the death penalty. that would mean that he would automatically be sentenced to life inries son without parole for killing 12 people and injuring 70 more. or the jury could decide he is eligible but disagree during the mitigation and then things end with life in prison. they do begin deliberating here in about 20 minutes. we'll keep you updated. martha: a lot of work ahead of them. alicia thank you. bill: this will be a major story of the day. now underway. that senator bob corker out of tennessee. he heads this committee here where secretary of state john kerry and among other
7:11 am
white house officials now answering direct questions before congress on this deyl with iran. it is the start of a 6-day review. it starts today -- 60 day review. that hearing just getting started now. plus here is this. have a listen. >> all i can say sometimes i think "the donald" is full of bs when he said that called him, begging him for a reference to get on "fox & friends." i know that's bs. martha: there you go. forget lindsey graham versus donald trump. now trump versus marco rubio who says the billionaire is not dignified enough to be president. trumps response to that coming up next. bill: also terrifying moments when the oxygen masks drop from above. why a mystery illness forced an emergency landing on this plane. >> there was a lot of people complaining of being lightheaded, nausea sick the gentleman in front of me looked like he was having a seizure

7:16 am
flight. martha: snort marco rubio taking aim at donald trump over his language and his behavior. senator rubio calling trumps conduct inappropriate for president of the united states. and trump, can you imagine, he decided to fire back. >> i don't think in the way he is based over the last few weeks is either dignified or worthy of office he seeks. >> i'm not employing bad language. it is people against me. as far as marco is concerned he is very very weak on immigration on illegal immigrants is coming in. he took a very weak stand and his poll numbers dropped down low and they're still pretty low. we know where he is coming from. martha: there you have it. doug schoen, former advisor to president bill clinton. monica crowley the online opinion editor for "the e@washington times." both are fox news contributors and friends of the program. good to see you both, good morning to you. so is donald trump too inappropriate to be president? >> i think it is pretty clear that he is. i think he is candidly the best thing the democrats and hillary clinton have going because he takes attention off of them and
7:17 am
with donald trump violating the ronald reagan's 11th commandment of republican politics which thou shall not speak ill of another candidate, this is about trump. his negatives are sky-high. issues are not getting talked about. it is just become a food fight. martha: he waits for each person to set up to say something about i am and he hundred r punches him them in the nose. >> all these comments the rest of the field is taking on trump because he is sucking all of the oxygen out of the room and media coverage. anytime senator rubio or governor perry hits donald trump his numbers stay steady or they actually go up. look i don't know whether or not donald trump will be the republican nominee but what i do know he is energizing the baseballs he is saying and doing things that they have been so parched for presidential candidate, telling the truth about trade, about immigration taking on mainstream media.
7:18 am
taking on establishment politicians. actually, martha, his whole catchphrase on "the apprentice," you're fired!, that actually i think is very important subtext to what he is doing here. in terms of looking at establishment and career politicians and saying you're fired! looking at congress, you haven't done anything about the border. you're fired!. martha: people are saying, i think he is right. he is getting their attention. >> actly. martha: he is is, some of these polls sort of show us where the need for that person to to fill a vacuum is coming from. look at some of these numbers. are you satisfied where things are going in the country today, 58% say no, they're not satisfied. look at one that breaks down democrats and republicans. 68% of democrats say they are satisfied. 15% of republicans are satisfied. and only 34% of the independence. that is the number we need to focus on here this independent number. 66% of independents, doug, are
7:19 am
not satisfied where things are going under current obama administration. >> there is no doubt there is widespread dissatisfaction. there is even more doubt whether donald trump is the answer to the problem, with all due respect to monica. i don't think that donald trump stirring up a restive republican base is going to help their fortunes in november. i think it is dividing the party. there is no real alternative to the obama agenda. just saying no to immigration to me is not an answer. martha: there are all kinds of layers to this. he hasn't been very specific on a lot of issues, people want to hear from him on those. he will have the opportunity in the debate and hopefully will be held to answering in a more specific way. back to issue of being appropriate. this is what goes through a lot of people's mind when they look at him, can i see myself turning on to listening to donald trump and can see him around the world representing the united states of america? the berlusconi comparison has
7:20 am
been made. a media magnate, who was president, prime minister of italy. had a somewhat similar story and we know how that ended up but -- >> there is argument to be made yes people want somebody in the presidency with fine temperment and fine character. the temperment issue will be an issue. on the other hand i think a lot of americans believe that the window of opportunity to save america before it is really too late, before we go down this slippery slope or even further toward a european-style socialist democracy that we don't want anybody who is particularly appropriate. we want somebody who is willing to say and do the things that need to be done in order toisave america before it is too late. whether that is trump or not. >> i worked for silvio berlusconi i know the man. he is a man of enormous man. martha: donald trump is not silvio beryllous connie. >> i think fair to say, he had
7:21 am
good relations with george w. bush and vladmir putin and really able to advance the cause of freedom whatever his flaws may have been. i think donald trump operate as differently. martha: donald trump says he and putin would get along fine. they would be great friends. >> somehow i doubt that. martha: thank you guys. monica, doug. good to see you both. bill: more fallout after a website for adult affairs had been hacked. can you guess which city is very popular for this site? martha: more cities take action to protect military recruitment centers following the attack in chattanooga. will it be enough to save lives? >> i mean jihadis have bragged about they're going to do it. they have done it. odds are they're going to do it again. the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

♪ your cheating heart will tell on you ♪ martha: boy, oh, boy, there is fallout from hack attack against ashley madison. that is the social network that apparently helps to arrange extramarital affairs for people. bill: can do everythingon line. martha: how about an affair? one city is taking them up on that. they have a huge number of participants in canada's capital city of ottawa, where one in five people according to report is registered as member of ashley madison. that is nearly 190,000 users out of 9,000 resident and postal code that turns up quite often, parliament hill is home to ottawa's political elite. what is going on there north of the border with the ashley madison account folks? bill: cold winters.
7:26 am
really cold. martha: how about coming with the one that brung you to the dance? bill: in the wake of chattanooga attack that left four u.s. marines and a sailor dead. arizona's governor now allowing national guard members to carry firearms joining several other governor who is have taken similar action. chief correspondent jonathan hunt in arizona which is joining what seems to be a growing movement across the country, jonathan? >> reporter: it's a grow hing movement. we got off the phone with the national guard bureau in washington d.c. they now tell us 14 states in all changed rules and ordered national guardsmen to carry weapons when they are on duty in the wake of the shootings in chattanooga tennessee. take a look at that list. it includes california and now add to the list as you say, arizona. governor doocy signing the proclamation yesterday that
7:27 am
national guardsmen will be now allowed to carry their weapons while on duty but there will be training involved in all of this. listen. >> what we're looking at here is running our guardsmen through a training program, arming them and allowing them to carry that weapon into the work place. >> knew in most of the state has have introduced these new rules, bill, the focus first of all is going to be on the more remote recruiting locations. those would obviously be considered the softest targets. bill? bill: civilians are playing a part in all of this aren't they, jonathan? >> reporter: yes, they are. individuals and groups of armed civilians are taking up positions outside military recruitment centers across the country. look at a list of some of the cities where we're aware that is happening. add to that list, logan utah,
7:28 am
where yesterday joshua van matter was standing outside after recruitment center armed and ready for action. >> these guys are sitting ducks. i'm not going to let that happen. i'm ready for action. anything that happens, if anything happens then i'm here. >> reporter: now officials in most of the cities where civilians are taking up arms on behalf of the military say they appreciate the patriotism. they appreciate the motives but they saw law enforcement duties are best left to law enforcement personnel. bill? bill: after that warning came out from the fbi director too. thank you jonathan hunt live there in los angeles. 28 past the hour now. martha: so planned parenthood is under fire in capitol hill after top executives are captured on an undercover video allegedly attempting to sell fetal body parts. straight ahead, congresswoman diane black will talk about an effort to block federal funding for the organization while an
7:29 am
investigation gets underway. bill: you see a shark at the beach right? what do you do? how many would take advice from these guys? welcome to fort green sheets. welcome to castle bravestorm. it's full of cool stuff, like... my trusty bow. and free of stuff i don't like. we only eat chex cereal. no artificial flavors, and it's gluten-free. mom, brian threw a ball in the house!

7:32 am
martha: you are looking at a live shot. this is senator ben cardin. he is the ranking member on the senate foreign relations committee. this is just part of the opening discussions, opening comments that are happening. we heard from senator corker a little while ago. they will question senator kerry and others who put together this deal. secretary moniz is there as well. senator cardin talking about the fact he believes it is a good deal and negotiated in good faith and he believes it will protect us from ever see iran seeing a nuclear power. there is john kerry as he gets ready to give his testimony and starts to take questions. we will keep an eye on this situation to go forward. bill: they have to make a strong argument for those on the committee. shocking under cover video.
7:33 am
executives -- sparking a new push to block all federal funding for planned parenthood. rick santorum wants to be president. last hour on "america's newsroom" he is asked about this. >> the republicans need to be on the forefront, calling for planned parenthood a huge supporter of the democratic party by the way in addition to providing abortions and selling baby parts, they should not be funded by taxpayer dollars. this is an issue that republicans, democrats, pro-life, pro-choice, should be able to rally around. bill: here is one woman he was probably talking about. republican congressman congresswoman diane black out of tennessee. a registered nurse, member about the house pro-life caucus. welcome to "america's newsroom." >> thank you for having me. bill: you wrote a strong statement, planned parenthood does no empower women. it deceives them at their most difficult and vulnerable moments. values convenience and profit over life. what do you want to do about it?
7:34 am
>> wells, i have a bill that i have offered. it has now got a little less than 100 cosponsors on it. we'll continue to move this bill along and ask our leadership to bring this bill to the floor. what it would do, it would simply say that until the investigation is done to look at these undercover videos and determine what planned parenthood really is doing. we're seeing the soul of it in those under cover videos, that we do not fund them. they have a moratorium on all of their funding not just title 10, but any other funding through medicaid and other grants that the government gives. bill: what is title 10? >> title 10 is the dollars that are supposed to be used for healthy family planning. and planned parenthood has been getting about $500 million a year of that money, doing about 327,000 abortions a year. i, really my bill, and to funding any organization that does abortions with taxpayer dollars has been out there for quite some time but this bill,
7:35 am
3134, would specifically target planned parenthood to say until we get this investigation completed, there are no taxpayer dollars that go to fund their operations. bill: jeb bush is saying that congress should investigate. bobby jindal says he will launch an investigation in his home state of louisiana. they are both running for president as you know. rand paul, ted cruz are launching an effort on the senate side to defund planned parenthood. what is different with your approach? >> my approach says, timeout. no more money going to planned parenthood. we know the soul of this organization is about. that is shown very clearly in these videos, but as far as i'm concerned we ought to defund them all together. and title 10 does that. but we have now gotten a picture into what really does happen. i think it is interesting, that doj says that they will investigate those who from the center for medical progress that uncover what really happens there, but they have acknowledged they will take on
7:36 am
and actually investigate planned parenthood. that certainly brings up doubt what the doj is about. bill: so just to be clear, you would stop funding now until the investigation is complete is that correct? >> that is correct. and it would be not just title $10 because they get other dollars, besides that. all government dollars would be withheld until after the investigation. bill: what if you find in your investigation that planned parenthood is guilty of what is being spoken on these videos? >> well, if really what is happening in there, and it is found and i don't think there is any doubt from what you see on that video, they are breaking the law. and they need to be brought to accountability for breaking the law. they're selling body parts which is against the law. and partial-birth abortion is also against the law. very clear on that video he that they are doing both of those things. bill: congresswoman, thank you for your time. diane black from capitol hill.
7:37 am
we'll see where it goes. so. thank you. >> thank you. martha: normally these people try to avoid sharks. look at scene in destin, florida. two people up close and personal. two brothers notice the hammerhead sharks have fishing hooks in their mouths so they held them down to cut them loose. they dragged the shark back to the ocean where it belongs, far from the edge of the beach. bill: sharp tooth there, kid. sharp tooth. martha: you would do that, right? bill: no. hammerhead. at this moment the senate is holding its first hearing on the iran nuclear deal. this is ben cardin a democrat from maryland. he has been on the fence about this deal. in his interview on "fox news sunday" it was clear he was dubious. will he be convinced by secretary kerry and others? while this is happening four americans are held hostage by tehran. among them a "washington post" reporter that has been in jail
7:38 am
for more than a year. we'll hear from his brother about the latest efforts to get him free, if there is an effort. martha: plus how this car helped to solve a cold case mystery that has baffled the police for decades.

i'm gonna crack like nobody's watching and eat like i skipped lunch. why? because red lobster's crabfest is back. and i'm diving into so much crab so many ways. like crab lover's dream with luscious snow and king crab legs and rich crab alfredo or this snow crab bake. who knew crab goes with everything? whoever put crab on this salmon, that's who. with flavors like these, i'm almost too excited to eat! hey i said almost. and now that it's back get crackin' while you still can. we always were told we were german. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt.
7:41 am
bill: a mysterious disappearance in for the caroline four decades ago has been solved. remains found inside of a car. amos shuck meant missing in 1972. not clear how or why he entered the water. police may never know what happened. his daughter has been waiting for closure for 43 years. she now says this news is a relief. martha: so as we've been watching throughout the last 20 minutes or so, we are watching this testimony on iran. that is secretary of state john kerry john kerry. he was obviously lead in this
7:42 am
negotiation with iran. he is speaking with other cabinet members today. he will try to convince those lawmakers that nuclear deal negotiated with iran is indeed a good one but lost in all of this are four americans still held hostage by tehran. among them "washington post" reporter jason rezaian. he was arrested at his home one year ago yesterday on false charges on espionage according to everybody who is familiar with his case and the very little information they have gotten why they took him into custody. earlier i spoke with jason's brother, ali rezaian, who is at today's hearing right now. ali rezaian, thank you very much for being with us. i want to start for those who are not familiar with your brothers story, what happened to him, where was he taken and what do you know about why? >> you know, jason was living in tehran at "the washington post" correspondent there and last year july 22nd, they came
7:43 am
in, security forces came to his house. they took all of his computer, phones, anything that they could. took jason and his wife away up to the prison and he has been held there for the last year. we don't know why. they spent five months interrogating him before they came out and charged him with anything. and it took 10 months for his trial to start. so there has been a long year. iran has been ignoring their own laws. we've been asking them to look at their laws to make sure they do the right thing and let jason go. martha: now is the one-year anniversary as you just pointed out. what have you learned along the way about this process, about dealing with iranians. about trying to get reasonable answer from them? >> you know, i think, i will let you know that when i hear a reasonable answer from them. what they have done to us is the same thing they have done to pretty much everybody. they have said, there are allegations against jason that are serious but they haven't said what they think he did. they just say they are serious
7:44 am
allegations. they told that to our state department. they told that to other foreign leaders. they don't back it up with anything. martha: when you heard the president mention him, byand the three others as well the other day, you know, what went through your mind? how do you feel about how the administration has handled this? because obviously we've just gone through this huge negotiation with iran over the nuclear program. and we didn't get anywhere. >> yeah. i mean i think, it has been a very difficult time. it is a very complex time. i know the administration and folks at state department spent a lot of time speaking with iranians over the course of the last year. but that diplomacy has taken a long time. as i said we really don't know where it is. obviously would like to know more about it. but as that is happening we're looking at court case going on in iran. it has been two months jason his trial has started. the trial started. and he has only had three days in court.
7:45 am
there is no information about when it will end. martha: yeah. i know you have tried every avenue. now you're growing to the u.n. why and, do you think they will have the power to help you? >> you know i think that the working group on our arbitrary detention is really very powerful way to go here. the iranians have been have responded to requests there in the past. and i think that it is very compelling urgent requests we put in is very compelling. very clear jason is being held arbitrarily. no evidence and no excuse for holding him. there are human rights humanitarian reasons for him to be released. i think that, by bringing it to the level of the u.n., that will help bring more attention to it. i think brings more attention to here in the u.s. government as well. i think what is really important that the iranians realize holding jason should have consequences, and that they need to realize that is a reality. martha: when you saw the release
7:46 am
of bowe bergdahl and your brother waits for his release, and hear his case and other three can not be connected in any way to this deal and yet bowe bergdahl's case was connected to a deal how does that make you feel? >> you know, i think the folks in the state department, the people that negotiate these kinds of things, they do their best and one of the things, that, you know, it takes two people to make a negotiation or make a deal. in this particular case they're dealing with the iranians. the iranians are focused on the nuclear deal and nothing else at this point. and i think that that makes it much more difficult. martha: we are thinking about you and your family. i know this has been a very trying year. it is not an anniversary that you look forward to celebrating, one year since your brother was taken. ali rezaian. thank you very much. we wish you and your family well. >> thanks for having me. martha: tough time. they're hoping something will move now. the president mentioned all four of them the other day when it
7:47 am
wasn't mentioned as much during the negotiations at all, maybe part of a side agreement or something in the works. that's what we hope. bill: maybe that will come up with questions there. jenna lee is standing by to "happening now" rolls your way at 11:00 a.m. eastern. how are you doing? good morning. >> good morning bill. you heard this big story about hackers hijacking your car, but could hackers hold your car, computer or smartphone for ransom? morgan wright talk about the dangers of ransomware. a couple maris and now the teen bride can legally refuse to testify against him. we'll take up that case. we'll talk to the coast guard hero who swam a mile in choppy seas in the dark of night to save four fishermen one at a time. brave man. bill: great stuff there. jenna, see you in 12 minutes. from science fiction to reality. how nasa's plan threat-hunting
7:48 am
tell cope may have discovered our -- planet-hunting telescope may have discovered our twin deep in space. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take
7:49 am
7:51 am
martha: so kind of a hookup happening in outer space. a russian soyuz capsule with three astronauts docking smoothly with the international space station. the operation is two months late because of the failure of russian cargo ship. arrival of new crewmembers, american, russian and japanese means the space station once again will have a full crew for the first time in six weeks. so everybody is up there hard at work. bill: so is kelly. good luck up there. one year. nasa may have found the earth's begin. the kepler space telescope has
7:52 am
been investigating planets for six years now. nasa gave details of its discovery in a noon press conference. tariq malik, managing editor of space.com by way of skype. good day to you. you're about 60 minutes away from hearing from nasa. what will they tell us about this? >> we're expecting to just get an update what kept lar has been doing for the last few months. last we heard was earlier this year and we're all really excited. they said it is latest discoveries from the spacecraft. it has been gazing at a single patch of sky, as you mentioned for the last few years to find these alien planets. it found hints of thousands of them. we're looking forward to this. bill: they call this the goldilocks zone in space. what does that mean. >> it has found at least 11 planets thus far and they orbit in a zone where it is not too hot or not too cold for liquid
7:53 am
water on the surface. we have oceans on earth here and water is nasa's kind of holy grail for searching for life on other plan nets. planets. wherever water is on earth they find life. they're looking for water on mars. if they find planets in this zone there is high hopes it would be habitable for some form of life. bill: you say kepler so far has found 11 planets that would fit this description? >> exactly. bill: so what's going to be new in an hour from now? >> well, you know hopefully we'll find out if it is got some more of those planets that they will announce. you mentioned earlier that the search for earth's twin. that has been kind of the guiding light for this mission. they have been looking for another earth an earth ii out there that can show that there is a chance of life, that we're not the only planet that we're not alone in this universe. we've seen some hints. some planets maybe a little bit
7:54 am
