1:01 pm
service agents and employees, and some have been told the staff that being part of the secret service, the quote, carries with it the responsibility, in both your personal and professional life, to always conduct yourself in a manner that reflects the highest standards of the united states government. and in short, consider your conduct through the lens of the past several weeks. and clearly, referring to that prostitution scandal at colombia. iowa senator chuck grassley on the judiciary committee which overseas the secret service, has an independent probe into the scandal and he says, of the new rules, quote, it's too bad common sense policy has to be dictated in this manner, new rules are necessary to prevent more shenanigans in the future. and whether these are the most effective rules to stop future misconduct remains to be seen and grassley says he hasn't heard back from the the white house in response to his letter, asking 14 questions about whether white house
1:02 pm
staffers may have been involved in the scandal as well and the dead light set forth for the obama administration to respond was this past thursday night and the white house says the own in-house lawyer conducted an investigation last weekend and found no wrongdoing by white house staffers on the trip. but grassley says that's not good enough. that an outsider needs to come in and do the investigating. >> all right. molly henneberg, what's going on with the secret service, thank you for at that report. patti ann. >> a fox news alert. police in washington state setting off an explosive breech where they believe keller would hold up. and that's when they found the body of his wife and 19-year-old daughter in their home, and they were shot to death before the home was set on fire. casey stegall is in los angeles for the latest, hi. >> brand new information
1:03 pm
courtesy of the king count sheriff's office up in washington state and that device was intended to blow the roof off the bunker where they believe the suspect is hiding out. the explosion happened, but the spokesperson telling us that only half of the roof was compromised and hoping it would do the job they would hoping and not yet located the suspect. and a suspect that they characterized as extremely dangerous and they say that he's armed with all types of weapons, including potentially body piercing or armor piercing bullets. that's bullets that would pierce bullet-proof vest. the bunker that he's believed to be hiding out in is not far from the original crime scene near north bend, washington. which is about 30 miles southeast of seattle in a remote wooded area, here is where it's scary and bizarre, the king county sheriff's office says the fortress is extremely elaborate, it's fortified complete with
1:04 pm
multiple entrances, ladders, wood burning stove and even a generator and they believe it's been in the the works for a long time. and keller is a self-proclaimed survivalist. >> there are photos and diagrams on the hard drives dating back all the way to 2004, containing photos of this bunker under construction. and in other words, this has been under construction and being built for almost eight years. >> and s.w.a.t. teams spent part of yesterday dropping tear gas canisters inside the bunker, trying to force 41-year-old peter keller out. that did not work. they are now thinking about flooding it with water to maybe force him out. and police say killer killed his wife and 19-year-old daughter last weekend, shooting them in the head while they were sleeping and then setting their house on fire, but no motive has really been talked about for the killings. court documents show that those who knew keller say he
1:05 pm
has a fascination with guns and a distaste for authority. two days before the murders, he reportedly turned off his cell phone, and withdrew more than $6,000 from his bank account. again, just recapping the information, police now trying a new, a new motive or actually trying a new method trying to use explosives to blow the roof off the underground bunker, a developing and fluid situation one we have got our eyes on and we'll bring you updates as they come in, patti ann. >> quite a story, casey stegall live in los angeles, thank you. well, we're following breaking developments and earthquake hitting southern california, striking this morning local time in downtown devore, shaking some folks right out of their beds. and rattling several buildings in nearby downtown los angeles. u.s. geological survey says the moderate quakes quickly followed by at least one mile after shocks, luckily, there are no reports of serious

injuries or damage. president obama taking some heat for a new campaign ad, attacking mitt romney's decision making skills and the ad featuring president clinton saying that obama was able to make the stuff call to kill osama bin laden and suggesting the likely republican nominee wouldn't have. our peter doocy has more from washington on this new report about president obama. >> and kelly, the obama campaign suggests that in this new ad, if mitt romney was the president, this time last year, he wouldn't have green lighted the raid that took out bin laden. >> he took the harder and the more honorable path. and the one that produced, in my opinion, the best result. also, the flashes the headlines from a reuters
1:07 pm
article published in 2007 which said that president obama criticized president obama for vowing to strike al-qaeda targets inside pakistan if necessary and reinforces the position that the administration has been making for a while now with vice-president biden repeating this line. >> if you're looking for a bumper sticker to sum up how president obama has handled what we inherited, it's pretty simple. osama bin laden's dead and general motors is alive. >> reporter: the romney campaign passed this along by two defense policy advisors saying, quote, killing osama bin laden was a momentous day for all americans and we all give the president credit, but we are saddened to see the president of the united states politicize that event, even reducing it to a campaign slogan. this is unbecoming of the commander-in-chief and demolishes the credit that should go to our men and women fighting in the field and senator john mccain added, no
1:08 pm
one disputes the president deserves credit for ordering the raid, but to politicize it in this way is the height of hipocracy and there's be something airing about the bin laden raid and the deputy secretary says he's only talking about the raid now because of interest in the mission on anniversary and last month around the two year anniversary of the health care bill signed into law the president didn't give any big interviews. kelly. >> kelly: peter doocy with that report. as you can imagine, it's causing a lot of reverberations out there. thanks, peter. >> more now on the fallout from that ad. many critics say it bears a strikeling resemblance to campaign ad used by then candidate hillary clinton, and back then it was obama's camp slamming the clinton campaign an attacking with a similar message. let's look alt the ad from four years ago. >> it's the toughest job in the world.
1:09 pm
you need to be ready for anything, especially now, with two wars, prices skyrocketing and the economy, and harry truman said it best, if you can't stand the heat get out of the the kitchen. who do you think has what it takes? . >> and the obama campaign at the time not too happy about that ad. joining us now to discuss fox news political analyst angela mcglowan and democratic strategist and clifton consulting, margery clinton. >> thank you for having us. >> margery, as we saw, hillary m that ad and obama camp outraged. why is this different? >> it's not the different and the fact of the matter is, this is politics as usual, how campaigns are run. somebody runs an ad showcasing what they've done and the other one saying, shock and awe they would actually use one of their accomplishments as something to run on. we've seen it with republicans and democrats and actually between mccain and romney,
1:10 pm
something after each other about how strong they were on national security, how strong they were going to be on osama bin laden and no difference. >> marjorie, with all due respect. he's the commander in church, you're right to talk about his accomplishments. i repeat what john mccain said. such hipocracy, he's political sizing the war on terror and misusing romney's words dealing with the war on terror. i think it's sad and i think that obama does very he well in polling dealing with foreign relations and goes to show the double standard and hipocracy of this administration. >> marjorie, what about the specific accusation in the ad that some republicans possibly, romney, would have chose and different course, a safer course, maybe just throwing bombs instead of going in? >> to be quite honest, secretary gates, who, you know, is the secretary of defense as well as vice-president biden, didn't recommend that obama take this tactic, sending in the seals
1:11 pm
to kill osama bin laden, he went against republicans, democrats, all of the general thoughts how this should be tackled. if this was one of the marquee events of his administration and so, it's not a surprise he's showcasing it and frankly any political strategist would say he would be an i had not to not-- >> it's great to showcase that, patty and again, a great accomplishment. president bush's cia tells them and the fact that obama was brave enough to go on his own. the bottom line, he's putting down mitt romney, saying what mitt romney would do, and he doesn't know what mitt romney would do because mitt romney has not been commander-in-chief of the united states of america and he was in massachusetts, i think it's a low blow that the president did not have to do and disgrace his office in doing that. >> and marjorie, even with just the trotting it out, here is a direct quote right now, put it on the screen from president obama after bin laden was killed. >> we don't trot this out as
1:12 pm
trophies, this is someone deserving of the justice he received, but we don't need to spike the football. >> and the bush administration did in reelection campaign, showing video of ground zero, this is nothing different than any republican or democrat in history has done and it's not a surprise. so, everyone, again, is going to feign shock over anyone using and showcasing these kinds of events as some, the political measure, but in reality, everyone is going to do it. this isening new. >> what a difference a couple of years made when hillary clinton ran an ad against him. who would you rather have in the white house, oh, the obama campaign was so upset. so disgruntled by the fact that hillary clinton would do that and now he's doing the same thing with bill clinton. it's hipocracy and again, marjorie, he should be able to talk about his accomplishments, but by saying what mitt romney would do, it smear and fear and that's what
1:13 pm
they're good at doing. >> republicans do the same thing and the same thing to one another, but i would say that one of the things that obama's going to need to do in order to win independents is to show that he's strong on national security and again, this is one of his marquee accomplishments during his administration and where republicans criticized him for not being tough enough on issues in the middle east, and on terrorism, this is what he was doing. >> politics is all about mud slinging and the republicans may have done that to each other, but the bottom line is this, he talks about the hillary campaign doing that to him and he's doing the same thing. >> angela mcglowan, marjorie clifton, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us. >> happy to be here. >> wow, that was good. in the meantime, a community nearly wiped off the map by a deadly tornado. next, how folks in this alabama city are now getting on exactly one year after the vicious storm. plus, the woman who caused the

olympics, coup up early. they're trying to figure out how to cut the wait and keep everyone safe. >> kelly: a fox news alert. washington state finding a body in an underground bunker near seattle. they believe it may be the 41-year-old suspect peter keller. casey stegall is live with more on the breaking story. >> reporter: yeah, kelly, we just talked to you at the top of the hour and walked you through this bizarre story unfolding the last week or so on the west coast in washington state. in north bend, washington. which is more specifically about 30 miles southeast of seattle. and the police department up there or the king county sheriff's office, the lead agency on this, just confirming to fox news minutes ago that they have discovered a body inside this underground bunker, where the suspect was believed to be hiding out. the body, they believe, of 41-year-old peter keller, and
1:31 pm
they say that the suspect is dead and that they are working to try to retrieve that body, but this was an underground bunker that was very elaborate. it was fortified. it had a generator inside, and ladders, multiple entrances, it was very, very steep and they believe that it was a bunker keller himself constructed over the last eight years or so, and they believe that he was hiding out thereafter he murdered his wife and 19-year-old daughter last weekend. shooting them in the head while they were sleeping ap then setting their house on fire and there you see the pictures of the the victim. all week long, police have not indicated a motive in terms of the killings, but keller was apparently a self-proclaimed survivalist and court documents say he had a fascination with weapons and that he had a distaste for law enforcement and that he had been stockpiling supplies in the woods, preparing for quote, the end of the world. a short time ago, police set
1:32 pm
off an explosion at that underground bunker with hopes of blowing the roof of and then the information just coming in that a body has been discovered inside. it's not clear if the explosion perhaps killed the person inside or if they took their own life. again, we're making calls. we are trying to get more information, and a very fluid situation, kelly, keep you posted. >> casey stegall. keep you updated with more details. it's been nearly a year now since the death of al-qaeda leader osama bin laden and an elite team of u.s. navy seals flying deep into pakistan, cornering bin laden inside the compound that you're looking at right now. now that the the al-qaeda leader is gone. will america and the world ever really be safe from the threat of terrorism? joining me now to discuss this, retired army major general bob scales, also a fox news military analyst, bob, it's good to have you here today. >> hi, kelly.
1:33 pm
>> general, you and i have talked about this so many times, the impact of actually capturing or actually, i'm sorry, destroying the life of osama bin laden and what impact that might have on the military looking ahead. >> right. what does it say about al-qaeda's makeup, the core of al-qaeda? can they still pose a threat to us, especially now that the anniversary of his death is approaching? >> that's a great question, kelly and the answer is yes and no. now that he's gone, what happened to most of al-qaeda, is they practiced into franchise groups, think of it sort of like your, you know, your local mcdonald's and they have a corporate headquarters, but they also, each individual franchise is managed in different countries, like somalia, north africa, the horn of africa and so forth. what's missing now, kelly, is the ability of these fractured groups to come together on a charismatic leader like osama bin laden and do strategic things, weapons of mass
1:34 pm
destruction, have some of in in a foreign country. for the most part, the franchises are focusing on their own local regions and yet to appear anyone with the charisma and magnetism and speaking ability of an osama bin laden to sort of coalesce to bring it together. >> you're right about that, but i was reading about the new leader. and it does not have the charisma that osama bin laden had. and, but, yet, he still aspires to strike some sort of attack, but he's actually been kind of weakened, there in pakistan as well because he doesn't have the ability to muster forces. what does it say about our activities to prevent these kinds of things from happening? >> well, what's happened is that we've gotten pretty darn good at the use of drugs and the use of direct action in places like pakistan and many of the franchise countries and that's greatly weakened his ability to bring his middle
1:35 pm
management together, and in a corporate level start planning big events. because these drones are essentially killing off his middle management one at a time. usually by name. and of course, what that does, two things, number one, takes them out of the action, but secondly makers them reluctant to mass anywhere, even in pakistan. >> kelly: i'm glad you brought up the use of drones. refining now that the obama administration is opening up the window, so to speak, of the ceo to start operating with more drones in yemen, the peninsula where al-qaeda is operating. that would diminish the threat to use drones there? >> yes not just using drones, but against nonnamed entities. in the past, drones were targeted against the specific individuals. knew his name and what he was doing, attack with the drones. now the drones are used more in the support of a campaign,
1:36 pm
if you will, where people who are not necessarily named, but whose patterns of life indicate that they're engaged in the practices, can be taken out. the cia now has permission by exception to take out these, again, middle managers in yemen and another means of tam pg down the violence and the flexibility that al-qaeda has to come together and do real mischief, kelly. >> major general bob scales retired, so good of you to join us this afternoon. >> you, too, kelly. thank you. >> new leads in the disappearance after six-year-old girl. isabel celis has not been seen in more than a week. police are worried that she was snatched from her bed and now investigators are looking for a group of people caught on surveillance video near her house around the time she went missing. and the search is crossing the border into mexico. anna kooiman has the details from new york. >> hey there, patti ann, law enforcement looking into the possibility that someone may have abducted six-year-old
1:37 pm
isabel celis and could have taken her to mexico because of tucson's close proximity to the border. they're working with mexican authorities checking hotels and bus terminals. a picture of the first grader is being circulated throughout mexico. we're told there are still about 50 detectives and investigators on the case, and 40 additional officers offering support, but the leads have been lessening. police are hoping a new reward will lead to new information. >> we also have been contacted by anonymous donor who, in working with, has increased the reward now to $50,000 for any information leading to successful conclusion. >> reporter: authorities have put up new surveillance videos on their youtube channel, facebook and twitter pages. the video from the day she was
1:38 pm
taken. the window was open and screen removed. five people leaving close to a nightclub and restaurant not far from the home and police are calling them witnesses not suspects and detectives are looking for any video from a baseball game isabel attended the night before she went missing, authorities not saying they're removing the patients as suspects, but they searched bodies of water and city park using sonar and acting on a tip and would not elaborate for us. they've checked local hospitals and search efforts have been fruitless and we're waiting for a press conference at four o'clock this afternoon and we'll keep our eyes on that. keep us posted. anna kooiman, thanks. >> good news for you, you can kiss high gas prices goodbye. ford is out with its first electric vehicle. gary gastelu takes the ford focus electric for a test drive.
1:39 pm
>> this is the ford focus electric, the first electric car from the company that pushed electric cars to the sidelines over 100 years ago when it brought motoring to the masses with the affordable model t. leaving others down the internal combustion pack. and ford is joining many competitors on the road to zero emissions. >> ford has been on the hybrid game for a long time and why not the electric. >> the marketplace is ready for electric vehicles and we need to start introducing them now because over time we're going to see higher and higher volumes out there and now is the time as we're looking at higher gas prices and starting to see greater interest. >> you didn't go out of your way to make this look like some car of the future. but we wanted to put the foy cuss on the same platform as the gasoline focus and the reason is, the economy is the scale. and by basing it off the gasoline focus we can bring down the cost. >> the focus is epa rating of

1:47 pm
lows, those in the middle and lower income brackets. >> yeah, you mentioned some of the keys here, unemployment high, and people not saving, so. >> yeah. >> this pace of this alleged recovery not sustainable in your view? >> well, it's not-- it's anemic, it's the good news, patti ann, however, the the u.s. economy is sick, europe and much of the rest is it of the world is on its death bed and that's why the u.s. stocks are out performing and remains good buys for the rest of 2012. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks, patti ann. >> kelly. one of the most come on and deadly type of cancer, lung cancer, now, word of a break through discovery. details next. what's withou?
1:48 pm
1:51 pm
icht. >> patti ann: well, a possible break through in the treatment of the lung cancer. >> kelly: scientists at the mayo clinic identifying a single gene appears to play a role how quickly it spreads. the chief of robotics at mount sinai in new york city and medical a-team joins us with more on this. doc, i understand it's a
1:52 pm
particular gene. what is this gene called and how does it work? >> kelly the name is mmp 10, it's a new gene that we're finding out about this. and, but, obviously, it plays a big role because lung cancer as you know is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women and actually is responsible for more death than prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. it's going to save lives. and the study is coming from mayo clinic and this gene is some sort after growth factor where a lot of the cancer cells count on that and in order to grow and spreading and metastasize. it's important, a new finding. more important is we always knew that mmp is responsible for some of this and new we're finding out it causes growth of the cancer locally, not the just the spread, but locally and this is a new finding and we're also seeing in the study that the mmp 10, is not found in normal tissue, but found in
1:53 pm
more cancer cells, a great finding and in mouse models, research. they found when they stop the gene, all of a sudden the cancer cells are really going to stop growing, a lot of great findings coming out as a result of this. >> as a result of this, how does this differ from chemotherapy? what will it do? and chemotherapy is what they usually use. and if they're using this gene, how might it help? >> the way it works, the cancer stem cells and tumor cells. a lot of the authorities they're using today the. radiation and chemotherapy go after the cancer cells, but they're very resistant and the stem cells are resistant to radiation or chemo he. what happens? the cancer shrinks and over time, you can have recurrence and the cancer comes back and what this particular gene does, goes after the actual cancer stem cells, by inhibiting the growth factors, we're able to control the cancers and this is really going to open a whole new way
1:54 pm
in the future. >> that's exciting and that's something that will prevent that recurrence and so many people think they're out of the woods and all of a sudden, it's right back at them just as you explain. >> absolutely and even more important now, we're finding that the mmp 10 genes may play a role in prostate cancer and renal cars noma and many cancer. while it's an early phase and most clinical trials need to continue. this is part in the field which is a deadly disease. >> kelly: what's the take away and what are people out there watching us right now, what should they be saying? >> i would say the trick and really, we're breaking the genetic code. traditionally as a surgeon, i take the cancer outen when we cure them it's great and if not radiation. really now the next decade we're going to break the geb genetic code that's where the news is and give them down a
1:55 pm
break and-- >> and smokers should change. >> i'm glad you brought it up. >> kelly: good point. >> bottom line, one of the main causes of cancer is smoking and you really want to stop smoking and a good pointed. >> you know, i could take care of the genes later on. >> kelly: doesn't matter what the genes are, thank you so much, doc. >> thank you. >> kelly: good news, all right. we're appreciative of patti ann sitting in for jamie colby travelling down to washington to be with the president of the united states with the white house correspondent's dinner and jamie hope you have a good time there. >> patti ann: great time and good working with you, kelly and the doctor. and coming up next the journal editorial report. >> kelly: we have a little bit of time left. okay. and we appreciate you being here. good news about lung cancer. >> i appreciate it. >> kelly: and make sure you're not smoking out there. a lot of hope there. real quickly, once more, people can take hope in this new generation. >> absolutely. and tomorrow actually on house call on sunday at 10:30 we have many different topics and
1:56 pm
medical topics and we look forward to seeing you, good time. >> kelly: thanks for joining us this afternoon and say goodbye to you today. join again next week and as the doc mentioned join in again tomorrow night. on my jo, i found new ways to tell people about saving money. this is bobby. say hello bobby. hello bobby. do you know you could save hundreds on car insurance over the phone, online or at your local geico office? tell us bobby, what would you do with all those savings? hire a better ventriloquist. your lips are moving. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
