6:00 am
have a great weekend everybody. all-4-one on the after show. bill: murder at a movie theater. a gunman firing 13 rounds. killing two injuring nine others. martha: the police said the shooter was this 59-year-old man, john russell howser. officers say he intended on killing and he had an escape plan as well. >> our short is john russell
6:01 am
houser. he's kind of a drifter. he's been in lafayette as well as we can tell. he was staying in a motel. martha: what are we learning about this suspect. >> reporter: you heard the police chief refer to him as a drifter. he had multiple addresses. and he had a record including arson. he rented a room close to the theater. police collected evidence at that motel like wigs and disguises. there is no sense after motive.
6:02 am
police say he bought a ticket for the screening. about 20 minutes into the screening he stood up and started firing. the gunman tried blending in with the crowd trying to escape before he saw law enforcement already on the scene. >> it was apparent he was intent on shooting and escaping. but the quick law enforcement response forced him back into the theater at which time he shot himself. >> reporter: investigators say they have quite an elaborate crime scene to process. more than 30 shell casings found in that theater and it could take several hours before that portion of the investigation is wrapped up. martha: how are the victims
6:03 am
doing? >> reporter: out of the nine taken to area hospitals two people have already been released. at this point one person remains critical. the victims range in age from late teens to early 60s. the two who lost their lives have been identified as 21-year-old macy broe and a 32-year-old2-year-old johnson. thanks to the quick thinking of a school teacher the building evacuated fast because she managed to pull the fire alarm alerting everyone in the multiplex to this shooting.
6:04 am
bill: the star of "train wreck" tweeted her heart is broken and her prayers are with everyone in louisiana. martha: this reminds everyone of the colorado movie massacre three years ago. jurors will begin deliberating on whether the shooter james holmes should live or die. he opened fire in a packed movie theater in july of 2012. his defense team urging the jury to spare his life despite the grief every caused. a frightening murder scene on a night when everybody was going out trying to have a good time.
6:05 am
bill: this guys intent was to get away. he parked his car near the exit. there is another big story breaking overnight. the hillary clinton email controversy could be heading to court. two inspectors general are asking the justice department to open a criminal investigation. michael moore joins us. this would appear to be head to a whole new level. >> the two inspectors general have asked the department of justice to see if the state department mishandled any of these possible sensitive information emails sent by and to former secretary of state hillary clinton. bill: her campaign is saying not so fast. the "new york times" broke the story and changed the story overnight.
6:06 am
still waiting for an explanation on that. contrary to the initial story she followed appropriate practices in dealing with materials. people understand how you delete emails and they understand how you retrieve them, michael. >> reporter: that's right. we wouldn't be discussing a possible criminal investigation if hillary clinton thanked followed the rules. if she had used state department emails. the campaign is partially to blame. but she is at the center of this. i think that can't be lost as we talk about what exactly the i.g.s have asked the d.o.j. to do.
6:07 am
bill: when you think of that poll that went to trustworthiness, is this part of the narrative? >> i think the most difficult hurdle for her to overcome is people don't find her trustworthy. this not just one were to things she has common her long career that make people think that. it's a long string of stories that go back to when her husband was president. this story is advancing that narrative all the more. >> karl rove will analyze it in 35 minutes. thank you. martha: a u.s. airstrike killed a senior al qaeda commander in iraq. the target was the head of suicide operations for the group. john huffedy is live in our middle east newsroom. what do we know about secretary
6:08 am
carter's trip? >> reporter: it's been a trip to motivate and rally iraqi forces on the ground. but today was more a fact find and strategy mission. secretary carter landed earlier today in erbil where he met with kurdish military leaders and government officials. he said the kurdish armed forces known as the peshmerga fighters are the quote-unquote model of what we are trying achieve in iraq essentially motivating local forces on the ground to take on isis. the peshmerga forces played a critical role in taking the city of kobani on the turkish border. and that remains in the hands of those fighters. with the help of those peshmerga fighters they regained control
6:09 am
of kobani and the u.s. continues to aid those forces on the ground with ongoing airstrikes and supplies. martha: thank you very much. bill: what began as a night at the movies continues in tragedy. martha: there it is, donald trump drawing some big crowds when he visited the southern border. he vows he will win the latino vote but will he? bill: john kerry tries to sway an uneasy congress. marco rubio has a big problem with this. >> these guys have been bamboozled. >> as far as the american sanctions are concerned this is
6:10 am
not guaranteed beyond the term of the current president.
6:11 am
6:12 am
i was diagnosed with lung cancer. as a firefighter approaching a fire i had to confine it, contain it and attack it. and i centers of america. we were able to do thorascopic surgery where we could use tiny incisions. we put a camera inside the chest and tony was able to go home three days after surgery. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. our individualized care model gives each lung patient specific treatment options with innovative
6:13 am
procedures that are changing the way we fight lung cancer. we have targeted therapies looking for a specific molecular target and then matching the patient to that treatment. to learn more about precision cancer treatment, advanced procedures and the experienced physicians who deliver them go to cancercenter.com lung cancer is a very deadly disease. we can make the most impact when it's in its earlier stages. call or go to cancercenter.com. cancer treatment centers of america. care that never quits. appointments available now. martha: a lot of details coming in this morning about the gunman and the dead reply movie theater shooting. witnesses say john russell houser said nothing when he stood up in that theater and fired 13 round.
6:14 am
one is in critical condition. police say houser shot and killed himself when he saw the police coming. we'll bring you all the latest. >> the only people that feel there is anything directly are the iranian leaders who want to wipe the jewish people from the face of the planets and help assad slaughter the syrian people. >> i listened to a long list of your objections here about it. but there is no alternative that you or anybody else has proposed. >> i sure have, secretary kerry. bill: that was just part of senator marco rubio giving john kerry an earful.
6:15 am
senator rubio good morning. welcome back to america's newsroom. watching secretary kerry earlier on the "today show," he said this deal is the only way to 0 control iran's nuclear program. clearly you disagree. >> it doesn't control iran's nuclear program. it allows them to enrich uranium and continue development of icbms, long range missiles that can reach america. and $60 billion in cash that they can use to use to sponsor terrorism. the better approach would be to continue sanctions and rally our partners to do that instead of basically undermining that where right up front we gave iran what
6:16 am
they wanted, and that's recognition that they have a right to have a nuclear program in that country which they have no need for. bill: they are going in the opposite direction. he also fold matt lauer everything is verifiable. he says nuclear material is not something you can flush down the toilet. >> the places we'll be monitoring are the declared sites. i doubt that is where they will be doing much of their work. what about the undeclared sites, the secret facilities they have always had. they have had two see crept facilities for 15 years. if we suspect one of those facility is there we ask them by the they can begin to clean kit up. then there is a 24-day long arbitration process and another
6:17 am
24-day period for them to come in and clean it up. and at the end iran can decide we are not going to let you in. then iran is banking on continuing to test the system and we give up. bill: he says as of today iran has enough material to make 10 to 12 bombs. i have not heard that number before. have you? is that accurate? >> i'm not sure that's entirely accurate. but the bottom line is if they want a weapon eventually they can get to that point. that's not the issue. the question is what price do we inflict on them tore doing this. obviously the ultimate out come is a military attack. but we should be eviscerating
6:18 am
their economy. they won't be able to develop a weapon if the price of it is their economy collapsing. bill: we'll have our first debate in cleveland ohio. wear taking questions from all over the world. what nation poses the greatest" security threat to the united states today. >> the most powerful military in the world threatening us is russia. between the united states and russia we possess 90% of the nuclear weapons on the planet. vladimir putin has already shown his willingness to invade his neighbors. that's the most significant hotter-term threat. long-term we have to keep an eye on china. it's building artificial islands
6:19 am
in the south china sea one of the most important shipping lanes in the south china sea. bill: marco rubio thank you senator, from capitol hill this morning. martha: august 6 fox news and facebook team up to bring you the first republican presidential debate of the 2016. you can submit your questions. go to facebook.com/foxnews. i went through a bunch of the questions people sent in. we'll be looking the all of them. bill: stand by. has there been a major shift in the fight against isis. we'll tell you about a strategy just given the green light on whether this could be a game
6:20 am
changer. martha: planned parenthood apparently paying the official in that video discussing body part. can't find a single thing to wear. will they be looking at my hair? won't be the same without you bro... when you go this summer, go to the new choicehotels.com and when you stay twice get a free $50 gift card. book now at choicehotels.com

6:22 am
6:23 am
martha: how much are our allies doing in the fight against isis? a big development there today. turkey conducted large-scale bombing raid against the islamic state. after months of asking for this, turkey is going to allow manned u.s. missions to fly out of their base in a pivotal area. retired general jack keane joins
6:24 am
us. this is something we wanted for some time. the turks don't like the fact we have given aid to the peshmerga fighters that they don't like and they don't like that we have given aid to the moderate syrians who want to overthrow assad. >> i think retired general allen has been working on this for months to get this concession. i think what changed the policy for the turkeys isis. but here is what isis has been doing, causing considerable problems on the border between syria and turkey and moving further to the northwest near aleppo which gives turkey great concern. i think that's what triggered it. what the problem has been. turkey has disagreed with the obama administration's iraq first policy in terms of
6:25 am
military action and the obama administration's unwillingness to do anything to change momentum against assad which is what the allies want. that's what they have always wanted and we said no to that. whether this lead to some of that remains to be seen. i hope it does, but we'll see. >> so if we now have the ability to send out manned missions from inside of turkey. we have been doing this from aircraft carriers in the gulf and also from some bases in the on part of iraq as i understand it. >> we have been using coalition ground bases and aircraft carriers for our fighter aircraft and surveillance mission. we have been using bases for our aircraft and surveillance. but now we can fly attack drones as well as manned attack
6:26 am
aircraft that makes the operations a lot easier to deal with in syria and northern iraq. we will have access to other bases 60 miles northwest of syria. it's not much time to get into the operating zone. so from a military perspective it's a big plus. martha: what about from a political perspective? does this mean turkey will be in? are they going to help fight against isis? will they put boot on ought ground? and does it change the dynamic for others? >> we want that to take place. i don't think they will make any significant commitment more than this until they get some concessions from the obama administration to start doing something about assad. and right now we have been unwilling to help establish no-fly zones and buffer zones and safe zones. one of the things turkey has a
6:27 am
lot of interest in. they have 2 million refugees. if we establish no-fly zone and safe zone they will move refugees back into syria. we'll see if that moves this administration in that direction. if that starts to happen, then we are on our way to making some positive impact in syria. right now we have no ground force that's effective and no plans to defeat isis in syria. this is a step in that direction but a lot more has to come. martha: it could be a game changer. general keane thank you. bill: a fox news alert. murder at the movies. we are learning more about the gunman who killed two people and injured nine others. martha: donald trump there he is coming down off his plane that says trump emblazoned
6:28 am
across the side. >> i'm a republican, i'm a conservative i'm running i'm in first place by a lot it seems according to the polls. i want to run as a republican. i think i'll get the nomination. we'll see soon enough. usaa makes me feel like i'm a car buying expert in no time at all. there was no stress. it was in and out. and it was just easy. usaa, they just really make sure that you're well taken care of. usaa car buying service. powered by truecar. save money zero hassle.
6:29 am
6:30 am
6:31 am
bill: we have new information about the killer in the movie theater overnight. john russell houser described as a drifter staying in a local motel. witnesses inside that theater are in shock. >> how does the happiest place in the world produce somebody so full of hate and evil to stand up in a movie theater and start
6:32 am
shooting people? >> you see it happening on the news and you never expect it to happen in your hometown. bill: police say houser parked near the exit apparently planning to escape. but when he saw the police he turned around. some inside the theatre actually saved the lives of others. >> reporter: one teacher jumped in front of the other. the second teacher even though she was shot in the leg managed to pull a fire alarm. who knows how many lives she may have saved. i think we'll hear more as we hear stories from inside the theaters. now is the time for praifs and time to love these families and come together. bill: we are watching this story and we'll have new details and
6:33 am
information as we get it here. martha: the local border patrol may have canceled their meeting with him people turned up to see him. he took on hillary clinton strong words and no apologies. >> hillary is easily the worst secretary of state in the history of our country. she is going to be beaten and i'm the one to beat her. i will take jobs back. the reason i won with the hispanic vote because they know i will take jobs back from china and japan and every other country that's killing us. i'll bring the jobs back. the hispanics are going to get those jobs and they will love truck much and they already do. they weren't insulted because the press misinterprets my
6:34 am
words. martha: warn williams, and mercedes. welcome. the entourage was following him everywhere. he refers to himself in the third person. what say you? >> i hope you like the hat making america great again. the part that caught my sea tension is he's going to win the hispanic vote. and i don't see that in the polls. he goes down to the border that plays well with the republican base to change the conversation. but the party is worried he's damaging the brand with latino voters and they need that vote to have a real hope of winning
6:35 am
the white house. >> yesterday there was a local spanish radio station in miami and they had listeners call in, who would you vote for trump or hillary clinton. and the hispanics went with truck. 80% of the hispanics are saying i will not vote for trump. he should take a page from the playbook of ted cruzage others and courting them. education being their top concern right now. martha: yesterday he was asked can you be specific about this. he said i will do it. i'll take care of it. just trust me, it will get done. i'm going to be interested to
6:36 am
see how that works in a debate format. and you are saying i'm going to get it done, just trust me. >> people are drawn to donald trump. i think trump is an aspirational character. everybody with great hopes in their lives. he says i'm a rich man i made it i'm smart. in that sense he's inspiring. he doesn't have any specifics. even yesterday in talking about the wall he was there with people from laredo and said that's not the issue. we don't need more wall. but he's there and he's saying immigration is a problem. every continues to do well in all the polls vs others. he may be short on ideas. but when says rick perry is a terrible governor who didn't even know about the war and
6:37 am
immigration it gets attention in the way specifics might not. martha: he got specific on the wall he went to say he was going to build a wall and members cove was going to pay for it. he said there were sections where there needs to be a wall. he decided sections of wall is something that's actually doable. >> he's toning down the inflammatory rhetoric he started with. but when you look out there especially the hispanic conservatives out there talking about this issue they are very concerned. they didn't like the comments donald trump said about building the wall between u.s. and mexico. but there is a sense in the hispanic community that we need to resolve this issue on illegal immigration, and what are we going to do with pathway to citizenship and pathway to legalization?
6:38 am
i think we are going to have to go back to the specifics of the policies that he will need to present. we'll be holding our breath doing those debates august 6. it will be interesting to see how the hispanic community will react to him. so farther not going along in his favor. he will have a lot to prove. martha: he's an inspiration pal character. i think that's true. i think look at him and say he's not afraid to save he's hugely successful. i made tonight this country. the suggestion is, you can too. and we can make america great again. when you are looking for morning in america people are so distressed and unhappy with the direction. this is not my opinion. 68% of americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. people want something like that,
6:39 am
don't they? >> exactly. i like what you said about morning in america going back to the reagan idea. let's move forward. let's be great again. that's what the hat said. martha: i think you are on board, juan. but the thing is, the big trump sign on the building. i think that when you have look at it in those terms people will come at some point to what martha talked about the need for specifics. if trump starts to move away from the republican party even republicans who are inspire bid trump will have second thoughts about backing a third party candidate who could divide the base of the republican vote. >> martha: why would he need to do that? he's on top? he says i'm republican, i'm in the lead. why would i need to start another party?
6:40 am
>> bill: we need a hat. hillary clinton's week may have just got and lot worse. first sagging poll numbers in critical swing states. now a possible criminal investigation. karl rove weighs in on that. martha: president obama says the irs never targeted conservatives but governor lawmakers disagree. >> there is no way to hold someone accountable for bad acts. i'm deeply concerned hon how the irs decide which organizations to audit in the first place.

6:43 am
martha: a massive merger could reshape the entire insurance industry. anthem says it will buy cigna. it would create the country's largest health insurance company covering 53 million i patients.
6:44 am
it comes weeks after aetna agreed to buy humanna. bill: a fox news alert confirming the justice department received a request to investigate hillary clinton and how she handled her emails as secretary of state. any time the word criminal is dropped it gets your attention. the "new york times" reported this originally. it seemed to change, the language overnight. your take as to how serious this could be, karl. >> very serious. to have two inspector generals whose job it is to ferret out
6:45 am
wrongdoing. and you have them joining together asking for a referral for a criminal investigation of hillary clinton's private emails claiming many of those emails were classified information being conducted on and you unclassified network in the possession of her on her private server. this is extraordinary. this real was sent to patrick kennedy, the under secretary of state. he protected her on the benghazi affair. it will be interesting to see if he say we'll ditch this and not reef it to the state department. did she ever talk to a lawyer or say to the general council's office at the state department, here is now i want to handle my email account.
6:46 am
we'll start to find out why she felt comfortable in doing that. bill: you said a lot there. are you suggesting the real to the department of justice is a way to bury this? >> no, if it goes to the department of justice with the inspector general's request behind it, my sense is the new attorney general to approve it otherwise she'll have to treat it seriously and so will the f.b.i. but the question is, is it going to be referred? is kennedy going to sit on it and kill and delay it or if anything comes out it comes out long after 2016. bill: what would be the crime? >> it's mishandling classified information of which there are serious penalties. that's the issue here. bill: this has been a bad week for her.
6:47 am
you look at the numbers from quinnipiac and they continue to drop. what is moving there and is this part of that? >> the whole benghazi thing is part of this but it's not a big part of it. the quinnipiac polls favorables and unfavorables for hillary clinton in three critical battleground state. colorado iowa, and virginia. in all three state she loses to all of the three principal republican candidate. she has two problems. remember mitt romney had the problem, he doesn't care about prime minister like me? over half of the people in these three battleground state already think that about hillary clinton. when mitt romney said he doesn't care about people like me they
6:48 am
saw him as honest and trustworthy. these are huge problems and the fact they are linked together in people's mind will make it difficult for her. bill: part of the point i was making is it's easy to understand what email is all about. it's easy for them to understand how to delete an email and how you retrieve it and how you go about it. this is not complicated stuff. >> her problem is going to get worse because american crossroad, the super pack i'm involved with did a bunch of focus groups. and the hoppest and trust war -- and the honest and trustworthy is not being driven by these focus groups. it's being driven by her 0 years in public life and comments like we were dead broke when we left the white house.
6:49 am
the benghazi emails if they geta criminal real to the justice department it will make her problem of honest and trustworthy worse. bill: back in march she said i'm quoting her. i did not email any classified materials to anyone on my email. there is no classified material. i'm certainly aware of the classified requirements and did not send classified material end quote. where does that comment stand now? >> as utter baloney. the june 29 memo from the two inspector generals say there are hundreds of classified emails in the material they have seen. they then sent a july 17 email saying you the 8 department when you released the first 3,000 emails had at least one of them contain classified information. but they were very critical of the state department's handling
6:50 am
of this material and critical of secretary clinton's use of this private server. hundreds of classified emails among the 55,000 thus far. bill: thanks, karl. martha: bowe bergdahl is back in the headlines. we'll tell you why authority detained the accused military deserter. bill: a massive wildfire changing course. but not everyone is in the clear. >> it was really windy from the beginning. the wind were going all different ways. uch at school sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. you handle life; clorox handles the germs. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night,

bill: bowe bergdahl detained
6:54 am
during a drug raid. it happened in northern california. the sheriff's office said they found bergdahl with 180 marijuana plants inside. bergdahl not charged eventually he was released. the administration traded five taliban leaders in exchange for bergdahl. martha: new information that planned the parenthood and senior direct yoorp earned $200,000 on top of her salary. she is recorded talking about the selling of body parts from aborted fetuses. >> reporter: she has been the senior director since 2009. but she has been with planned
6:55 am
parenthood since 2009. and one year she was paid $200,000 as an independent contractor. she founded her own firm. and she is listed as president of the corporation. so not only is she getting her plan the parenthood salary but she also got the six-figure paycheck from a side company. martha:company.. she is one of the main planned parenthood officials caught in that undercover sting video about selling aborted baby parts. discussing less crunchy techniques to get whole specimens. then they haggle over the price of fetus tissue sales over their lunch. planned parenthood says it's
6:56 am
part of an ongoing smear campaign. but the group behind this video say they have more in the pipeline. martha: kristin, thank you very much. bill: a killer strikes inside a movie theater. ahead. new details about the gunman and what we are learning about the victims. and the heroes inside the theater that helped save lives. martha: john kerry tries to sell the and you nuclear deal on capitol hill. 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. ♪ building aircraft,

6:59 am
at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. awful story and new information about the gunman in a deadly shooter in lafayette. john russel houser was a drifter who had a criminal record and
7:00 am
they think operated alone before killing two people and injuring nine others before being forced back into the theater and taking his own life. >> we have not found mr. houser was working with anyone or assoc associated with anyone. no other threats at any other theaters. for now, this theater is closed until we can do all all of the work we need to do here. >> you can see the presence there last night. we will have more breaking details in this story coming throughout the hour. and hillary clinton is now facing a possible criminal investigation over her handling of government secrets on her personal e-mail amount. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i am martha maccallum. >> and i am bill hemmer. two inspector generals asking the justice department to open a criminal investigation that
7:01 am
involves hundreds of e-mails on her personal account. ed henry is live. he want to talk about the economy but the e-mail investigation is picking up new steam. how serious could this be? >> this could be deadly serious. these are independent watch dogs were the state department and intelligence community. they are not republicans on capitol hill a attacking here. as you said there could be hundreds of classified e-mails in that long cashche of documents she is producing. hillary clinton looked the people in the eye and not just the press and said i never had classified information on the private e-mail server and that appears to be untrue. look at the statement from the rnc chair saying hundreds of
7:02 am
thousands of americans had their personal data exposed because the administration failed to keep it safe and now we learn about hillary clinton's desire to play by her own rules may have disclosed classified information. hillary clinton must hand her entire secret sever over to an independent third party for review. this is putting more pressure on her. now the question is will the obama justice department list n and investigation their former secretary of state. >> great point with the new lynch on the job for attorney general. how is the administration responding? >> they initially said the inspector generals wanted a probe on if hillary clinton mishandled classified information and now they say the watch dogs want to see whether
7:03 am
the information was mishandled. this is hillary clinton's e-mail about and whether it is about her mishandling or others around her. contrary to the initial story which has been revised she followed appropriate practices in dealing with classified material as has been reported on multiple occasions. any e-mails released have been done so after the fact not at the time they were transmitted. they are saying when she sent had e-mails they were not classified but decided upon months later. >> ed henry in new york. thank you. more from steve hayes, seen senior writer and fox news con contributor
7:04 am
contributor. there is a lot of talk about how far this goes. do you think it goes anywhere? >> we have seen the department of justice already defend hillary clinton on these matters after the freedom watch case trying to obtain documents under a freedom of information act and the justice department defended hillary clinton saying it was speculation she would with hpheld documents. we have seen this justice department defend hillary clinton on similar and related charges so there is a good reason to be unsure if the justice department will look into this further >> the justice department isn't supposed to represent the administration or democrats. it is supposed to represent the people of the country. two inspector generals believe something is here how do you brush it under the table? >> i think the fact that these are two independent inspector
7:05 am
generals from different departments who have concluded this is worth a criminal referral to the justice department is significant. you have the history of hillary clinton making arguments about what she did with her e-mail and why she did it saying it was a matter of convenience. everybody understand it was improper and her explanations don't add up. it is different when two generals coming together saying this is worth a criminal investigation. >> there is a lot of questions about whether or not she was running her own system and if you are allowed to do that as the secretary of state. whether you can have your own mini government operation and decide what goes. let's look at the honest and truthworthy factor in colorado
7:06 am
iowa, and virginia. did you believe hillary clinton is honest and truthworthy? in colorado 62% no 59% in iowa and 59% in virginia. >> she will have higher than 30% of people who are hard core democratic supporters and anything she says or does they will see as part of a partisan attack or problem with washington and they will remain supportive of hillary clinton. what i think it does is harden the other number. the number of people saying she is untrust worthy. this is another example of hillary clinton not being honest with the american people. that is where it hardens and gives it the recent that maybe
7:07 am
this lacked before. >> interesting stuff. we will see you soon. president obama is the first sitting american president to travel to the african nation of kenyan. the father is from kenyan and security has been a serious side story this week. why is that? >> unfortunately they have been so impacted here in kenya by terrorist and you go back to 20 2013 and it is going to get a big deal of press because it has been a devastating impact on the people here in this beautiful country. security as you can imagine has been tight not just at airports but all around ahead of the president's visit. many are calling it a homecoming of sorts as his father was born
7:08 am
here. the president was talking security in a conversation with the bbc saying the counter counterterrorism cooperation between the united states and kenya is strong. >> the cooperation between the united states and countries in east africa is very strong and part of the subject of the visit is to continue to strengthen those ties to make them more affective. >> reporter: it is all around the horn of africa bill, security cooperation going to be one of the major focal points during the presidents visit to africa. >> kevin cork live in kenya on scene. as we saw on the hill there are senators that are unsure about the iran plan and want their own backup plan just in case. >> seems to me that if you want
7:09 am
to deter iran may need to know consciousequence consequences. >> they are saying can we renew the sanctions and the snap back provision and how good is the snap back provision. senate majority chip john corman joins alive. a new report found irs could be targeting political groups still. there is a fast moving fire in the napa valley area of california threaten millions. >> my husband is calm saying it is not that close and i said i don't know it is close enough. i want out of here. so what else can you give me?

7:14 am
pushing back wanting to review the sanctions that are set to expire pointing out the snap back sanctions mean nothing if no sanctions were authorized at the time of the snap back in the first place. >> i think we should be moving to reauthorize the sanctions that congress passed and that expire next year and let the ironi iran iranians know if they violate that is one of the things they will have to go back to. >> john corman senate majority whip is here with with us. getting the idea of reviewing to have something to pull back? >> this deal is just getting worse and worse the more you dig into it. all of the things john kerry and the secretary who negotiated this said would be in it, we
7:15 am
find out it isn't there. snap back sanctions that took years to put in place have been effective in getting iran to the table. as secretary john kerry suggested the al trpern tv to this deal and a better deal. and we find out the inspections are gone and it is a minimum of 24 days. >> it is true they said they would make sure there was the ability to do spontaneous inspections wow warning that is what the american people were told -- without -- and they would never be able to get a nuclear weapon. the administration believes they made real traction on moving that timeline back. but when john kerry was asked about removing the iran nuclear weapons program or the nuclear program, they say is energy, he
7:16 am
said quote that is a fantasy. >> well, yeah they say it and make certain promises with regard to sanctions and inspections and when you con front them they say it is a fantasy. i think in the eagerness to get a deal they got a bad deal. congress is continuing to review this and will vote in september. we are still discovering things like secret deals between the inspection agency and iran and questions whether samples from the inspections are going to be actually in the custody and control of iran. and that undermines the whole purpose of those inspections if iran gets to chose the sample. >> it seems a lot are unhappy about the deal but no one thinks there is an override ability to
7:17 am
override the president's veto. i was in time square with a big rally and asking where is our senator? he is the one who can change the tide on this. >> it is premature to declare the override veto dead. it takes 60 votes to override and this deal is getting worse with inspection and review. i think it had its best day when announced and it is going to be a long hot summer with people asking all of the right questions and there better be good answers or i think the deal is done for. >> have you spoken to senator schumm schummer about the deal? >> he has. he is being careful and not doing anyone to undermine the president. i believe he feels seriously his obligation as a senator, and representing one of the areas
7:18 am
that is most pro-israel in the united states, to give this the scrutiny it deserves. >> what about the u.n.? some people say it is out of your hands on capitol hill because it has been proved by the united nations. >> the united nations can't change u.s. law and the sanctions they put in place. but we have seen a rush from the other countries trying to sign up deals that benefit their economy and countries. that is a substantial harm that has been done by the way the white house handled the deal. it is deeply irresponsible. and it is unfortunate but not the first time. >> you have your work cut out for you there. good talking to you. u.s. companies in the cross hairs of chinese spies and why

shock video from tampa, florida. a sinkhole swallowed a truck. workers were drilling outside a well and a ground gave way and sank causing a 30 foot hole.
7:23 am
people were inside but no body was hurt. >> the fbi releasing video of a sting operation where a chinese ceo exchanges money with a glass company for secrets. both arrested but the country says china is becoming more brave. leland yee is here. >> reporter: 95% of the u.s. companies that have been targeted report china is to blame. a chinese business man here thinks he is buying a top secret glass formula with a payment of $35,000 in cash. >> this is secret, private, and you understand that? it is very private.
7:24 am
>> reporter: the guy selling the glass secret is an fbi agent and soon after others move in and arrested the business man and his translator. the bureau said it isn't just the chinese company looking to steal is secrets but the government as well. china and russia are stepping up their game and u.s. companies make ripe targets >> not the only way china is challenging the united states. what else are you finding? >> reporter: exactly. that is what has us worried. we learned the united states is not going after the chinese for the hack of the highly classified database. and u.s. jets flying in international waters have been harass harassed by the chinese military specifically over the islands you are seeing you now.
7:25 am
experts fear they could be used to expand chinese's influence throughout asia. when the comes to china the white house said there are few levers we have of keeping them in check short of declaring war, the economic or real kind. >> more on this to come. thank you. the irs admitting it was wrong to single out political groups for scrutiny but refuse to admit they targeted specific target groups like the tea party. was there a real bias? we will break it down with congressman isa. >> and tragedy in louisiana after a drifter open fire inside a theater killer two and breaking countless hearts across the state. >> i have three young kids going to the movie all of the time during the break.

7:29 am
>> we are back as we learn more about the shooter in the movie theater in louisiana. police say in lafayette it appears john russel houser had planned to escape and parked his car by the exit at the grand theater around the back. but they say police responded so quickly perhaps in part to the pulled fire alarm by the woman in the theater the gunman went back in the theater and shot and killed himself in instead. investigators say it isn't clear what brought the gunman to louisiana or if this is random. >> our shooter is john russel houser. he is a white male 59 years of age, he prev -- resided in
7:30 am
alabama and has been in louisiana since july. >> john car is live at the scene. >> reporter: it was a normal night heading into the shooting last night here in lafayette about two hours west of new orleans. hundred people went into the theater to see a screening of "trainwreck" and 20 minutes into the movie the suspect stood up and shot two people in fropt front of him and started spraying the crowd. some thought it was part of the movie but realized things went wrong. they say he fired 13 shots tried to leave with the crowd, saw the police and turned and went inside. 21-year-old mayci breaux and 33-year-old jillian johnson were killed. nine others injured.
7:31 am
at the same time we are hearing about acts of heroism. one person jumped on top of another woman and she was shot in the leg. after being shot she crawled and hit the alarm which say are saying could have saved more lives because she warned everybody about what was going on. >> what else do we know about the shooter? what are we learning about him? >> authorities are trying to find out as much as possible. we learned he is from phoenix alabama originally. he was staying in a hotel in lafayette for the entire month of july. we know authorities searched a local motel 6 and found disgiuses with wigs and glasses. the big question is why did he do this and come into this
7:32 am
theater and start firing bullets. they are continuing to investigate and the fbi joined as well. >> will car thank you. move on to the next thing. it is incredibly helpful to acknowledge targeting took place and it was based on a bad motive and an agenda behind it. it would be helpful for that to be acknowledged. >> calling on the irs commissioner to admit his agency targeted certain groups. this coming after they found there could be bias still in collecting the auditing of the groups. congressman issa is here. how are you doing? >> i am doing fine. thank you for covering the story
7:33 am
by the commissioner and president. >> they say this whole admission is not his call to make. what did you make of that? >> he said he would get to the bottom of this. the fact is he is a spokesperson for the president and part of the delay and cover up. and the president and i am shifting to it, he is actually trying to take back this words from 2013 when he admitted this was unreasonable targeting. he wants to talk about not enough money and blame a law cast before born that served us well and now it is suddenly breck -- broken. the president ought to look up this birth and 1959 when the law was passed. >> can you say today if the targeting is still happening?
7:34 am
>> the targeting is still happening. it is still a procedure clearly. remember one thing as they talk about tax exempt. remember americans pay hundred percent of the taxes before giving to these groups. that is one of the dirty rise within here. these are people paying taxes and giving to the groups to act on their behalf and the whole idea that tax exempt is a special thing. they are not tax-free or deductible and that is an important distinction. >> can you give me a name of a group being targeted? >> we have tea party list that haven't been granted. the list is not available for anyone not cleared under 6103. but i think one or more tea party groups as we talk will
7:35 am
come forward saying they are being delayed in approval and acting without the kind of legit they should have. john stuart asked the president today today. >> congress passed a crumby law that the didn't give people guideance guidance. they did it poorly and stupidily. >> we do have only a year left. >> not enough money crumby law, blames folks at the irs for poor and stupid judgment is the way he phrased it. >> anything he doesn't agree with is stupidily done apparent apparently including supreme court decisions. this law served us well.
7:36 am
it wasn't a back room. lois lerner was at the seat of government here in washington and high ranking and was a partisan moving from the fcc to the irs where she acted close and in concert with commissioners. the president would like to rewrite history about in his own statement he said it was wrong, he said he instructed the secretary to get to the bottom of it and wants to blame it on a law passed before he was born. it served us well until he used it for his agenda. this is the president with his pen and phone once again. this is what we have dealt with with this administration deny, delay, and flat out changing the story even if it isn't factual. we are dealing with that with the oppose future president hillary clinton. she did the same thing
7:37 am
throughout her tenure at the state department. it is not acceptable to the american people. it is important they understand facts are a stubborn thing. when hillary clinton got a referral request from two inspector generals this can't be explained away even by getting "the new york times" to tone down a report they published that should cause the american people to realize the government needs more oversight and protection of people's rights >> the irs commissioner did say there was no evidence of being bias. thank you, sir. the white house is sparking controversy after changing rules of who wants to become a citizen. you no longer have to recite the oath of allegiance >> not everyone who wants to

7:45 am
congressional candidate. the house is moving on this and the senate. will it get through and make a difference? >> well at least they are trying. democrats don't support the bill. a lot of them are saying it sounds like something donald trump would like. that is just ridiculous. is this high school? the least you can acknowledge this whether you agree with that you can after an al alternative alternative. >> it is okay more than a hundred cities in the country don't pay attention to the laws on the books? >> i don't think they are not paying attention. they are doing it for different reasons.
7:46 am
one is to have more protection for people and not less. the goal of sanctuary is not to make sure felons are roaming the streets -- >> but that is what happened. >> which is the problem. now they need to fix that. i think what is happening here on a political level which i don't agree with is they are doing a band aide piece of law that is not addressing the border and lack of immigration programs and we have a majority of republicans in the house and senate. donald trump brought it up and kate steinle's mother gave him credit for that but where is the movement to do something larger? >> everybody talks about doing something larger for a long time. they are cutting off the funding to the cities. they will feel this. when they don't get the money
7:47 am
they will feel it. when trey gowdy says sanctuary city sanctuary for whom? it was not a sanctuary for kate steinle clearly. and i think that really hits home. where is her refuge and where is she going to feel safe in the city in the united states of america. catherine? >> it is disgusting how this has been treated. like with obama not reaching out for the family. he is supposed to be the president for everybody and not just there in tragedies it is politically convenient. it was a total lack of justice. there is a reason why you are supposed to work with the federal government to keep it safe. it didn't work and that wasn't fair to her and we need to change it for her. >> are you in favor of cutting off the funding? >> i am in favor of a larger
7:48 am
bill. this bill is unpopular on the right and left because no one thinks it is going to do what it is. io i seriously doubt it will pass through and become law. you make a point about where there is sanctuary, but in terms of general law enforcement you see this. >> how is it political -- >> you know you can say well there is violence everywhere, but i don't know where that gets us really? if you are a family member of one of these people and there are so many out there who was killed by someone who should never have been in the country in the first place because of the illegal record and have been deported and came back we are not talking about immigrants we are talking about convicted felon grants in the country. >> absolutely.
7:49 am
>> saying there is a lot of violence and i wish we could do isn't getting us anywhere. scompl >> i am saying the person shouldn't have been out of custody. >> but that is the reason it happens. >> we don't know that is the only reason it happened. i think there is a little bit of being in competent. >> a lot of reaction to this. fox news alert. juan -- john boehner releasing a statement on the hillary clinton investigation saying in part what these reports demonstrate is the inherent risk of conducting diplomacy and foreign policy on home e-mails and server. the poor judgment undermined the national security and it is time for her to do the right thing;
