>> fox news alert. brian does not feel his butt dent in his cushion. >> i have a brand new star. >> something weird is happening on the set because normally the background is red and blue and today 's green and blue. >> what's up with that? >> they usually only do this on st. patrick's day so unless we're in a time machine, it could be something new. >> i don't know about that. that green is making this yellow look -- >> yellower. yellowish. >> i was thinking of a different thing. >> are you back to catdoodle? >> kind of doodle in a diaper. that's what i was thinking of. sorry, that's a green that makes it look like a different kind of color that maybe we should get rid of the green. let's make some stories making headlines right now. we have a horrible crash to tell you about, a tragic one in new york city. it happened yesterday after an s.u.v. plunges off a highway.

everyone inside that car died. the out of control vehicle being driven by a 45-year-old woman named maria gonzalez crashed into a barrier on the ground of the bronx zoo. gonzalez died instantly and the crash claiming the lives of six family members, her parents, her sister, her 10-year-old daughter and two nieces, ages 7 and 3. >> in 30 yes, it sickens me how long, 3ears and sometimes you come across events that are horrific and this is one of them. >> one firefighter was hurt at the scene. the cause of the crash is under investigation. but police don't believe anything criminal was involved. new developments is you you understand ro -- surrounding involved in the disappearance of isabelle. the group is seen here walking through a parking lot blocks from the 6-year-old's home the night she vanished. police are tight lipped on

exactly he may have told them. last night, a benefit opera concert held at a scottsdale church was held for the family. they claim they saw their daughter more than a week ago in her bedroom. today, one world trade center becomes the tallest building in new york city. check out the time lapse video if the winds are forgiving, workers will hoist a steel column bringing the tower to a height of 1,241 feet, higher than the empire state building. workers are adding floors to the freedom tower. it isn't expected to reach its full height for another year when it's likely to be declared the tallest building i all of the united states. another possible watergate cover-up surfacing 40 years after the fact. a new book out revealing investigative reporter bob woodward sought to conceal quotes from his former boss

raising questions about the inside source famously dubbed deep throat. deep throat finally revealed, as you know, in 2005 as f.b.i. agent mark felt is the famous source that woodward claims he would arrange meetings with. woodward's editor, ben bradley reportedly said was worried that woodward embellished the story for dramatic effect. those are your headlines. >> it was quite a story. if i wanted to meet with the guy, i put the plant out on the -- i'd put the flag and the plant out on the terrace at the place that is now, i think, a howard johnson's. >> well -- >> that's history. >> all right. 4 minutes after the top of the hour. i can't believe it's been a year already since the navy seals took down usama bin laden and went into pakistan to do so. and the big question is asked -- are we safer today than we were even a year ago? with bin laden's death, are we out of the boodz when it comes to al-qaida? >> that's right. and the guy who heads up the counterterrorism unit at the white house, john brennan was on one of the chat shows yesterday and he was asked, you know,

given the fact that it is now the anniversary that they had on the horizon, we're picking up any chatter of any plots right now. he said no. george stephanopoulos asked him about the rumors that apparently there were new efforts by al-qaida to target western airports in the arabian peninsula to which mr. brennan replied this way regarding the airports. >> aviation has been a target, has been a traditional target of al-qaida. >> we haveaken off the battlefield, the founding leader as well as other leading operatives. we have degraded their infrastructure, their capality to train, their capability to deploy operatives so their capability has been degraded. our defenses have increase that doesn't mean that we can rest. >> seems like there seems to be a disconnect within the administration from time to time when talking about the war on terror. just last week, we're saying that a state department official says the war on terror was over. you have a counterterrorism official, the top guy saying no,

in fact, there are actually plots out there that we're concerned about. >> we'll be talking to an expert in that area that believes that al-qaida is actually stronger than they have ever been. that's going to be interesting. if you look at pakistan, there's not as many there, perhaps, but there's more in yemen and more in sudan and throughout the arabian peninsula. let's talk about a "60 minutes" interview that was outrageous. i happened to be reading this book to get ready for our interview with the former head of the c.i.a. clandestined unit, his name is rodriguez. i don't know what he's going to say about the editing of this piece but the tone that leslie stahl outrageous considering what the men and women of the c.i.a. did to bring down al-qaida. first thing is first. when it comes to the very controversial enhanced interrogation. what did it yield? what did they do? here is what happened. the regime changed, our

administration changed. and the c.i.a. was left out to dry. >> what happened was that they didn't do enhanced interrogations anymore. and so the philosophy became, as has happened in the last couple of years, these drone kills. they've been successfuln taking out members of al-qaida and other terrorists but the question remains have you taken away the tools in which the c.i.a. has traditionally worked? in other words, capring terrorists, questioning them and not reading them miranda rights, etc., and maybe using enhanced interrogation? >> here's the thing, what did we learn from the enhanced spare gatien? what did they do and why did they do it? this is a battle between the f.b.i. and c.i.a. e f.b.i. wants to build a criminal case and the c.i.a. wants to prevent the best attacks. we have the best in the world to question the worst in the world and it yields with proof, hardcore proof what it gave us and what it prevented and everyone now sits back and says oh, america, this is beneath us. >> right. and so this administration does not want to be accused of using

torture and they won't because, as mr. rodriguez says, they no longer capture anybody. they simply kill them. here he is. >> we don't capture anybody anymore, leslie. the default officers of this administration has been to kill all prisoners. take no prisoners. >> the droe drones. >> the dros. how can it be more ethical to kill people rather than capture them? i never understand that one. >> president obama has said what we did was torture. >> well, president obama is entitled to his opinion. when president obama condemns the covert action, activities of a previous government, he is breaking the covenant that exists between intellince

officers at the pointed end of the spear hanging right out there and the government that thorized them and directed them to go there. >> you have a couple of things to think about here. these c.i.a. agents now even if they could question possible terror suspects, will they? because keep in mind, that the department of justice has wanted to prosecute them for doing just that. also, why is this administration more apt to kill a terrorist rather than capture? one theory is where do you put them? if you bring them to guantanamo bay, remember, that was the president's first executive order, he waed to shut gitmo down. what do you do with them after you capture them? >> that's great point. the answer that'sot a theory. we have an army manual out for all the terrorists to read to know what we'll do or won't do. the c.i.a. eventually says get me out of this business. if you're going to prosecute me and destroy my fily because i'm trying to keep america safe, keep in mind when it comes to

killing and capturing bin laden, who said this to brian williams, we had multiple sources in regards to the situation. clearly, some of the information came from detainees and they used the enhanced interrogation techniques against those detainees including water boarding. who said that? our former c.i.a. head leon panetta who is now secretary of defense so it doesn't help. it's easily sit back, it doesn't help. the former c.i.a. head in power today said i absolutely helps. >> we have a million questions for this guy. he'll be on our show tomorrow, mr. rodriguez is. there he is rit there, jose rodriguez. it was just a year ago that the navy seal team 6 went in there and rather than capture bin laden, they killed him and now, you know, they brought all the hard drives and everything else and it looks as though there was a coection between usama bin laden, the commander of the taliban and he hadn't been really seen since 2001 presumably he was in pakistan

and also ayman al-zawahiri. the three of them were triangulating what al-qaida would do. they were in communication. >> the question is -- do you have peace talks in cutter with members of the taliban and pretend they don't have relationships with al-qaida when it's in bin den's own journals how close they were, how they were plotting together. they never loved each other but after the invasion, after they were forced from power, they realized they had to work together closer than ever. >> as the campaign moves forward and we have an election in november, one of the things that we thought we'd see a lot of in a president obama ad would be about the dramatic -- i was going to say capture. dramatic killing of usama bin laden. arguably one of the best parts of his presidency thus far, both sides of the aisle would agree with that but i didn't quite expect to see the campaign ad with bill clinton in it basically asking the question of whether or not mitt roey would have done the same thing. really? why wouldn't you just don ad

that says you were successful in taking out the most wanted man in the world? instead of questioning whether or not the other candidateould have done it. isn't this a bipartisan thing? isn't this america? wouldn't any person in power want to have tenut usama bin laden? >> that's what ed gillespie said, i don't know anyone in power that would have made the same order, he deserves credit for doing it. it's the navy seals that executed the operation. they can't take a bow. many of them are out of work right now. they're trying to get established. they retired, many of them, with the same pensions as people in the band. and they get no credit and this is all about politics. >> so the obama administration is, according to some on the right, using the killing of bin laden assist a campaign issue. interestingly enough, bill burton in 2008 called out hillary clinton for using usama bin laden. he said it's ironic they would borrow the president's tactics

in her own campaign and invoke bin laden to score political points. this was four years ago, folks. we already have a president that plays the politics of fear. we don't need another one. >> i don't know why this administration would do it. it's such a positive thing. >> they're trying to diminish mitt romney. >> there's other ways to do that. i mean,o call out whether or not any other person would have made the same decision, i don't know. you can't prove it. why would you do it? >> we'll tell you the quote that mitt romney really said in 2007 really taken out of context. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, an inkred i believe stor of survival. a 59-year-old woman lost and abandoned in the desert for days. something hemmed her survive and come out alive. she tells her story this morning. >> no wonder apple is boasting record profits. how the tech giant side stepped billions of dollars in u.s. taxes. stuart varney explains next.

that apple could earn up to $45.6 billion this yr. that would be a record for any american business. but some are accusing the tech giant of unfairly taking advantage of the system in order to pay fewer taxes. >> luckily, president obama has already established that he won't stand for companies that don't pay their fair share. >> it's time to end taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's never been more profitable and use that money to reduce our deficit. >> the president is talking about companies like apple. right? >> oil company profits have never been higher, yet somehow congress is still givinghose same companies another $4 billion of your money. it's outrageous. and it has to stop. >> stuart varney is here right now. apple, oil company. apple, oil companies, come on. he meant apple, too, right? >> no, he did not. he meant oil companies. that's what he said. that's what he meant. oh, what a contrast. here you have the president beating up the oil companies.

look at that. they pay an effective rate of 41%. that'she effective tax rate that they pay. the president's all over them. tax them another $4 billion. by the way, an e.p.a. official says we have to crucify them. along comes apple in sharp contrast that deliberately routes its profits overseas and pays a 9.8% effective tax rate, 1/4 of the tax rate of oil companies. why do we have this contrast? my answer is the president wants to pick an unpopular target. oil companies are unpopular. gas is at $4. the president will blame them. tax them some more. but apple, that's a very different story. >> sure. >> apple is the darling of the techie left. and they're a california company. >> and because they're a california company, based in coopertino even though they build everything in china, they have an office in reno, nevada to take advantage of nevada's tax status and they do something with the double irish with the dutch sandwich is howhey ship

them to ireland and it goes to, u know, the cayman islands and some place, it's what big companies do to save on taxes. >> and apple led the way. would you like me to explain a double irish with a dutch sandwich? suffice it to say they route profits, route money to places with zero or very low taxes to avoid the very high taxes in america. >> that's a sign that we should lower the taxes for corporations. >> i would think so. >> it's not just apple. i was look athe big board over there. google pays 11.9%. amaz amazon pays 3.5%. are you here to argue those companies would tend to support president obama and oil companies would tend to support republicans? >> i would think that is in the picture. suffice it to say that when you're selling a digital product on line, soware, you can say that that sale came from anywhere, right? or generated anywhere. the sale came from a certain company. it could be anywhere.

>> right, hard to tax. >> it's much easier to route money and profits overseas than it is ifou're actually drilling and producing stuff in the united states of ameca. that's what's going on. >> forget apples and oranges, we're talking apples and oil today. >> yes. >> stuart, we'll be watching your show three hours from right now on fox business. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show, bombshell revelation about the assassination of robert f. kennedy. a witness claims what she saw isn't what history ended up writing. >> and remember just last week, the state department declared the war on terror over? one senior official did well, our next guest the former senior advisor at the u.s. special command says that couldn't be further from the truth. what does he know that the administration doesn't? right back. i love cash back.

of different factors. one is we certainly killed a number of al-qaida senio leaders but if you look at things like the number of affiliated and allied groups they have, they've grown in presence in countries likes nigeria and yemen and somalia. they're conducting a range of attacks now that we've pulled u.s. forces out of iraq, those numbers of attacks have increased. in a range of areas, they've grown in capacity and control of territory. >> and in what do you think that bin laden's death has done >> what it appears to have done is decentralized the group a little t. >> al-zawahiri has not laced that group effectively, is that correct? >> he's not laced the group together as effectively as bin laden. all the affiliates have sworn loyalty to him so he does have some control oinflnce over the organization. but we see a lot more spreading of the group and decentralization across north africa and the arab world. >> in chronicling all the pursuits of the top terrorists, are you unr the belief that new york is still a prime target

and hitting the u.s. is stale paramount. >> absolutely. we see groups in the arabian peniula based in yemen looking at a range of type of attacks from bombs inserted into the human body cavities to pens and cameras. they are desperately trying to conduct attacks against the homeland. >> we have that bomb maker that did the shoe bomber is still out there, right? the ones that was doing the ink jets to put into those planes on those cargo planes, he's still out there. >> right. the same individual that was involved in the underwear bombs in 2009, the one that landed in detroit, he's still out there. >> another from yemen is still out there. and mullah omar is still out there. these are the guys that we know of. have the old gard been replaced? >> some of the key members have not be replaced. but a number of them have. the key individuals like one from florida is still involved

at very high levels in plotting attacks against the u.s. homeland. deputy now is still out there anning attacks against the u.s. homeland. they've got a competent network of individuals across multiple continents. >> and the arab spring has actually given them the opportunity to get legitimate power. >> we spent a lot of time across the u.s. saying that the arab spring was good because it improved demcrotization across the middle east. that's probably true in many ways. it's weakened many regimes and we see a vacuum to some degree. the number one al-qaida leader now, his brother was recently released in egypt. there are a lot of questions about where some of these governments are. and even in north africa recently, that government was overthrown and al-qaida is pushing to get a sanctuary in that country. >> we know that al-qaida and taliban have been working together after going through the layer of where bin laden was.

they'd like to see you ask eric holder to get some for you. >> oh! >> the president also self-depricating, though, making fun of himself. many analysts was like who was more funny? the president or jimmy kimmel? pretty even. sounds like it was a fun night, if you were there. >> four years ago, i was a washington outsider. four years later, i'm at this dinner. four years ago, i looked like this. today, lk like this. and four years from now, i will look like this. that's funny. that's very, very, very funny. >> his first joke was about donald trump and donald trump is going to be joining us one hour from now to see if donald trump thought what the president said was amusing. meanwhile, got some headlines for you starting with a severe

discussion around women in the workplace. mitt romney himself said what women value is the economy and jobs and this is the quintessential bill of both economy and jobs for women. >> it's my understanding that this would allow women to inquire at their jobs about what their male counterparts make in a similar or same job. and that it would allow them to do that without getting in trouble for doing that. why is that a bad thing? >> this legislation isn't about fairness. it's about litigation. this legislation will ope the door to thousands of frivolous lawsuits and this legislation is built on the idea that there's widespread discrimination. is there gender discrimination? sure there is. but the 2009 labor department story pretty much determined and outlaid that the discrimination or the gap between male and female had more to do with individual choices and not actual discrimination. this is a political ploy. this is to kp t pressure on romney. >> let me read the statement from that 2009 department of labor report on gender wage

disparity. raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. indeed, there may be nothing to correct. the difference in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers. marjorie, how do you respond to that? >> well, i work with women every y in the work that i do specifically on leadership and one of the things that women have a hard time doing that men do really well is actuall negotiating their salaries. only 33% of women actually negotiate their salaries in their first 10 years of their job and they lose over a million and a half dollars over the course of their entire career because of that wagegap. what this legislation does is provide cover for them so if they do inquire, that if they do protest for having a wage disparity, they've got coverage. frankly, i don't understand why -- i mean, i understand that there's legal costs involved but corporations should be gd d should be quite honest about what people are making. this is about kind of pulling the curtain back, about who is

getting paid what and it's not fair. >> wouldn't this all be fixed if corporations just paid mennd women equally if they were doing exactly the same job and the same hours put in? >> yeah, i would say that most of them are. you know, i think we're trying to build out aroblem here that doesn't exist, as widespread as everybody wants it to believe now. >> oh, wow, i'm sorry, i have to say, it es exist. you look at latino women, they're making $0.52 to the dollar. african-american women, $0.61 to the dollar and the average woman is making $0.77 to the dollar. working with women every day, i hear and know what they're making compared to their male counterparts and it's a reality. >> sure. this legislation will set back women overall because now corporations will be afraid they're going to get sued so this legislation single handedly could push back women's rights and women's empowerment by 20 years. >> i can't believe that. i think corporations are seeing the value in the women employees. they know what women are bringing to the economic power ofompanies. i mean, there's data around

hang more women on your boards. having more women in your senior leadership actually result in companies making more money. >> i got to wrap it up there, guys. a very interesting, very interesting fair and balanced debate. it will be interesting to see what mitt romney decides to do because both candidates want the female vote. thanks very much to marjorie clifton and tyler harber, have a great week. he was supposed to be giving an anti-bullying message but what the students got was anti-christian instead. >> we can learn to ignore the [beep] in the bible about gay people. >> a teacher who took his kids to see this here next. and no background check? no problem at the t.s.a., airports are only the number one terror target in the united states. what is the hk is going on with that? wake up!

>> he's supposed to be promoting peace in our schools but anti-bullying activist dan savage's latest speech was downrit offensive to some christian students in high school. take a listen to this. >> people often point out that they can't help that the anti-gay bullying, it says right there in timothy, it says right there in romans that being gay means this, we can learn to ignore the [beep] in the bible about gay people. >> is that type of language undercut his anti-bullying message? joining us is rick tuttle,

teacher and journalism advisor california. he attended the conference with a few of his students who a number of them walked out, didn't they? >> they did. absolutely. >> ok. so they hired this y, dan savage who has an an-bullying message to present what kind of a message? what kind of a message did he present? >> well, we went in there -- i mean as an educator i take bullying very seriously. my duty to protect all students om bullying. i thought there wasal in taking them to their conference. what we got was a vulgar pranity laced attack on christians. and some ofy students asked me if they could leave and i said definitely, they could. >> yeah, we see some of the kids leaving right there. so he was supposed to have an anti-bullying message but it seemed like he was bullying some of the christians. didn't it? >> sure. well, theyere they say a captain audience and, you know,

head the bully pulpit so to speak. and basically, this is theiray to say, you know what? i'm going to take a stand and ok a lot of guts and these students you see that are walking out, you mean, it occurs to me, this is what we teach kids to do when they're being bullied to walk away. that's what they did. when they got outside of the convention center, he was lobbing insults at them. basically saying that they were pansies, i think is the word he used or something a little coarser actually related to that. so basically insulting even as they left. >> and as they were leaving, herexactly the passage you were talking about where a number of the students were grossed out by what he was saying, got up and left and then he sent this message to those christians. >> you can tell the bible guys in the hall they can come back now. i'm done beating up the bible. it's funny someone who is on the

receiving end of beatings that are justified by the bible how pansies [beep] people react. >> i understand you were offended as an educator. weren't you? >> absolutely. i mean, again, like i said, i take my responsibility to protect all students, you know, from being bullied and so i inadvertently or unwittingly took them to a place where a number of my students were highly bullied so they wanted to leave. i felt fairly duped by going to this particular session of the conference and frankly all the kids that got up, they're from front of thousands of others of their fellow peers who were chring through most of the speech and during this part of the most offensive parts so to say they were pansies to me i don't think was a fair characterization. it took a lot of courage. >> here's the reaction after it hit the fan, after his speech, the association that threw this said we appreciate the level of thoughtfulness and deliberation

regarding dan savage's keynote address. while as a journalist it's important to be able to listen to a speech that oends you, these student advisors reached their tolerance level of what they were ready to hear. never the intent to let students get hurt during their time at our convention. sorry. that's what they had to say. >> as a former journalist, i could have written that. i kn that's what the company line would have been, you know, but they put me as a teacher in a bad position to actually expose my kids to this kind of thing. i didn't hear an apology to me. >> i didn't either. thank you, sir, for joining us live. all right. straight ahead, we told you about this at the top of the hour. apple boasting record profits and now a new report reveals how. the tech giant side stepped billions of dollars in taxes. is that legal? we'll ask him.

we're hearing from the head of the c.i.a.'s clandestined service and he's wasngo time of accusing president obama of hurting amera's ability to fight the war on terror. >> he is breaking the covenant that exists between intelligence officers who are at the poied end of the spear hanging way out there and the government. >> is he right? we report, you decide. >> wonder why he destroyed all the tapes. the tape's top counter terrorism chief says al-qaida wants to use planes as weapons. why is the t.s.a. hiring people without background checks? >> good question, brian. >> thank you. >> meanwhile, you're looking live at the freedom tower in lower manhattan that will lay claim to a brand new title in a few hours. it's a title the terrorists won't like one bit. we'll tell you what it is as we roll on live from new york city. you're watching "fox & friends" hour two for a monday.

>> you know, my prediction is the empire state building will be green today. >> you think so? >> green with envy. because it envies the new freedom tower that will be the tallest building. >> and the building itself will feel that andt will turn on the green lights. >> i believe so. >> the whole -- >> this is big news here in new york city. >> it's leading all the local newscasts and it's in all of the papers and we will have a live report this morning on "fox & friends." >> ok. >> about the freedom tower. >> we'll look forward to that. we're learning new details about the horrific crash that killed three generations of one family including a 10-year-old girl. the speeding s.u.v., it was driven by 45-year-old maria gonzalez. it crashed through a barrier, flipped over a guard rail plunging 60 feet into a wooded area of the bronx zoo. this all happened yesterday. gonzalez died instant and claiming the lives of six family members, her parents, her

sister, her 10-year-old daughter and two nieces, ages 7 and 3. >> i've been in the fire department 30 years. and sometimes you come upon events that are horrific and this is one of them. >> the cause of the crash is under investigation. cops don't think anything criminal is involved. some witnesses think it may have been a blown tire. people across missouri bracing for more wild weather today after a weekend of strong winds and damaging hail that left one person dead. this is the scene after a beer tent collapsed outside the ballpark in st. louis with 200 people inside of it. they were celebrating the cardinals' victory over the milwaukee brewers when winds knocked down the poles holding that tent in place lifting it straht off the ground. one man was killed. five others seriously hurt. the same system of heavy rain and thunderstorms expected to continue there today. university of southern alabama warning students to be on the

lookout there despite enlisting a lackdown. they are searching for the others who made off with $1,000 and a cell phone. one shot was fired during that incident. no one was hurt. check out these brand new behind-the-scenes photos of president george w. sh biking for our wounded warriors in texas with our own dr. marc siegel. the three day ride covered 100 i will -- kilometers. at one point, they had to help out the president who got stuck on a hill. those are the headlines. >> dr. siegel did great considering that's not what he really does. he doesn't do mountain biking. >> he was in training for a couple of weeks to get ready for it like bret baier did last year. >> right. as you know, this is the week that bin laden was taken out in pakistan and so much has changed since. the question is are we safer than ever before? what have we done to al-qaida? what are they trying to do to us? are we making tremendous progress? we know from the state department, an official came out and said we believe the war on

terror is over. >> that's what they said last week, the war on terror is not over and the white house and the administration remains vigilant and yet, asou're about to hear from john brennan, counterterrorism advisor for the white house, the al-qaida operatives out there that are still left, they haven't come up with anything new. for the most part, they're still after the planes. it's the planes. here's john brennan. >> aviation has been a target, has en a traditional target of al-qaida. their capability has been degraded significantly. we've taken off the battlefield the founder and leading operatives. we've stopped the capability of train operatives, our defenses have increased. that doesn't mean we can rest. >> couple of things here remember when usama bin laden was killed last year, i was stunned that he just had handwritten journals inside. it seemed that that was as technical as he had become about, you know, ideas that he thought of during the night maybe about what kind of new

terrorism acts he could commit. that seems to me to be very pedestrian. maybe it makes sense that they're still thinking about going after airplanes or maybe because they were successful at it. the other thing is why was john brennan out speaking about terror yesterday? yeah, it was the anniversary. was it also because that other state department official last week said that the war on terror was over and that that got a netive response? >> well, one thing that's clear is we'll be talking about this and the use of enhanced interrogation practices in order to get the worst of the worst to speak and give up the next plot? one thing that khali shaikh mohammed was told after they captured him when he started to talk, he said what's next? he goes, you'll find out. so if you're a c.i.a. agent and you're questioning khali shaikh mohammed, what's next? you'll find out and there's an anthrax attack at home, we have the buildings burning and all the other guys captured. what do you time for the good cop, bad cop or say we have to turn it up a notch, mr. president, i need your permission to get that. that's whahaed. i'm talking about jose rodriguez

took over in counter intelligence in charge of capturing al-qaida and getting the most information possible to prevent the next attack. what he watched was america forget about 9/11 and then all of a sudden cde people like him for telling khali shaikh mohammed you're not going to sleep -- you're not going to sleep for a while. you only get to sleep two hours a night. you're going to be standing up and you're going to be waterboarded. this all happened over 2 1/2 week period as it did with others. now, all of a sudden, the c.i.a. is on the defensive and forced to defend themselves and it's unbelievable, in my opinion, the condescending, attitude that leslie stahl in questioning him on "60 minutes." >> he was clear about the danger that he thought khali shaikh mohammed knew about, was coming to the united states and that's why they used these enhanced interrogation techniques on ksm. here'sr. rodriguez ooch. >> he's the one that was

responsible for the death of dannypearl, the wall street reporter. he slit his roat in front of the camera. i don't know what type of man it takes to cut the throat of someone in front of like that but i can tell you this is an individual that probably didn't give a rat's ass about having water poured ohi face. >> he never believed for one second you would kill him. n let me just tell you, khali shaikh mohammed would use his fingers to count the number of seconds because he knew that in all likelihood we would stop at 10. so this -- this doesn't sound like a person who is afraid of dying. >> he's talking about the waterboarding that khali shaikh mohamm would count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 because he knew at a certain point it would stop and if he got through 10 seconds, he would live for another day. >> they didn't just take what he said and say let's go with this.

they wouldn't act on intelligence he gave him just right then. whatev iergation technique they would put him through, they would wait and talkto him the next day and the next day until they broke him. when the finally broke him, he unveiled the whole structure. what he didn't tell is where bin laden was. what they ended up doing by reaction when they told the name of the courier that they were tracking, his face turned white and he took a step backwards. he knew this guy was the courier that could lead them to bin laden. that told them what do. so you ask me -- should you -- if you're jose rodriguez, should you do everything you can to get bin laden to stop the next attack or should you say, well, i don't want to get -- i don't want my career to be damaged. i'm going to step back. >> right. along every step of the way, he would check with his superiors and he would check with the lawyers to make sure, ok, this is legal, right? this is legal, right, he was given the green light to use the enhanced interrogation techniques. of course, this administration vis em as torture so this administration does not want to be accused of that. so rather than capture people

these days, they simply kill them. that's what mr. rodriguez says. >> we don't capture anybody anymore, leslie. i mean, the default option of this administration has been to kill all prisoners, take no prisoners. >> the drones. >> the drones. how can it be more ethical to kill people than capture them? i never understood that on >> president obama said what we did was torture. >> well, president obama is entitled to his opinion. when president obama condemns the covert action/activities of a previous government, he is breaking the covenant that exists between intelligence officers who are at the pointed end of the spear hanging way out there and the government that authorized them and dirted them to go there.

>> so it's changed the entire scope of the way the c.i.a. at least in that kind of a convert operation, in the way in which they work because now that they know that they may be prosecuted for actually doing some of these things, asking certain questions, they might not want to do that job anymore. >> they turned them over. he'll be on tomorrow and hopefully be talking about in more detail and in a fairer way onur show. >> terrific book. after september 11, 2001, we promiseed to rebuild and we are. today the freedom tower wl become the tallest skyscraper in new york city. david lee miller i do at ground zero right now. it's a big day down there, isn't it? >> yes, it is, steve, a very big day and we expect the building to actually become taller than the empire state building in just the next few hours. ke aook behind me. we're going to actually pan up one world trade center and you can see the work in progress. the building now standing at just under 1250 feet, 1250 feet is the height of the empire

state building. later today, it is going to surpass that. it is expected to surpass it by approximately 21 feet. we should know more later and in a moment, i'll have aittle scorecard for you. let's take a look now at some time lapse photography that shows you the construction of the ilding. you can see it constructed here in what appears to be just a maer of seconds but in actuality, what took place was ars of blood, sweat and tears. let's not lose sight of the fact that nearly 3,000 people lost their lives at this site, the construction of this building has really transformed lower manhattan. it has revitalized new york city and it is aense of pride for the entire country. w, let's take a look at the statistics that i promised you, the empire state building for those who keep score stands at 1250 feet. later today, the world trade center here is going to surpass that, we believe, by some 21 feet. still, the tallest building in the united states is the willis

tower in chicago, that stands at 1451 feet that will eventually be surpassed by the world trade center but the tallest building in the world is going to remain the tallest building in the world even when one world trade center is completed. the officeower in dubai stands at 2,217 feet. but the bottom line is all eyes are on one world trade center. later today, the authorities are going to hold a newsonference and we expect that later today, it will be the tallest building in new york city. more than just symbolism here, a very meaningful day for new yorkers and americans. back to you. >> indeed. all right. david lee miller dow at ground zero. next stop, 1776. that's how tall the once upon time called freedom tower will eventually be. >> coming up straight ahead on this show, the government have been pushing its green energy agenda with wind farms. turns out that's just a bunch of hot air, so tospeak. the turbines doing more harm

the more we're looking at the culture in some of these agencies is moving far past embarrassment to frightening. when you think about the number one target for trorists and we're taking the people supposedly to provide our security force and we're basically telling them, look, we're going to put you in the secured areas and you're going to do the security checking and maybe we'll get around to checking your secury later, it's like putting the metal detectors at the end of the ight and checking the passengers when they come off the plane instead of going. it makes no sense. >> in case you thinking that congressman forbes is overstating the would be terror threat, here's the counter terrorism advisor talking about what al-qaida still wants to do. listen. >> aviation has been a target, has been a traditional target of al-qaida. >> their capability has been degraded significantly. we have taken off the battlefield the founding leader as well as other leading operatives. we have degraded their infrastructure or the capability of the train, the capability to deploy operatives so their capability has been degraded. our defenses have increased. but that doesn't mean that we

can rest. >> not rest or check in to find out who is working there. so they fingerprint them and eventually they'll get to it. congressman forbes, are you focusing on finding out if other airports are doing this? >> we're trying to find out if other airports are doingt and make sure we change this. brian, you know, this is becoming an everyday occurrence now. we see millions of dlarpz of guns going to criminals using to kill innocent people. secret service using prostitutes and we find out our embassies are paying off prostitutes, paying their medical bills so they won't talk and we see that our t.s.a. agents who give absolutely no compassion, as you know, brian, to young children or elderly people going on our planes, but yet aren't even doing security checks for the people that are doing all these security procedures. we ought to be outraged and ought to get it changed. >> i'm sure there are great people in the t.s.a. and we've heard some scary incidents. this from the t.s.a. at no time was sury at risk and all new employees will still undergo identification verification and be subject to

>> it was a natural progression and in the studios i've been photographing the newborns, the mothers have been in the studios telling the amazing story. i thought it would be fantastic to photograph the women. i photographed all of them in final month of pregnancy andt seemed an element of nture and they came back afterwards with their babies and sat down, it's like therapy they said to talk abt what it was like for the pregnancy and what the hopes for their child was like and so on. they're women from all walks of life. >> sure and i understand in the beginning, you were thinking, ok, i'm going to te pictures but you realized wait a minute, they all have stories. >> wait a minute, they did. it was incredible and one of the most popular stories in there is of identical 29-year-old triplets who all got pregnant at the same time and they swore to me it wasn't planned. >> there they are. >> yes, they all gave birth to baby boys. two of them were in the labor ward on the same day. how does that work?

could've had a v8. >> my fellow americans, we gather during a historic anniversary. last year at this time, in fact, on this very weekend, we finally

delivered justice to one of the world's most notorious individuals. >> that was one of the first jokes that the president had at the white house correspondents dinner. the crowd thought it was hilarious. what did donald trump think? he joins us live right now as he does every monday. good morning to you, mr.trump. >> good morning. good morning. that was a little bit different. >> a little different. was it over the line? >> no, not at all. i thought it was fair game. i wa fair game and it was done in very good taste, in my opinion. >> was it funny? and the fact that you were the first joke out of the gate, i mean, i know you're a marketing master. you must have thought well, that's pretty cool. >> i actually thought it was fairly cool. and my daughter was there and she thought it was great. so ivanka callede and she said daddy, they just mentioned you. i said that's good. >> ddy. >> you didn't ask for anymore details? >> no, i didn't bother, no. i did get to see it and i thought it was absolutely fine. >> you were before all the dog

jokes. >> that's right. i'm not re if i agreed with those. i thought they were a little bit roh. but you know, if he's willing to do that, that's ok. but i thought they were a little bit rough. >> rough, rough. >> what did you think of jimmy kimmel? >> i thought he was actually better, much better than sh myers last year. and i thought he did a pretty good job. >> he really -- he really gave the president some heat and t president was just sitting 10 feet away. >> yeah and i thought the president reacted very well. you know, he had that big smile on his face and frankly, i think he reacted very well. but i thought jimmy really did -- i think he did a very good job. >> yeah, that's the whole point of it, you roast the guy sitting next to you. let's move on to some business talk. there's been discussion about the fact that oil companies are a big problem for the united states even though they pay more than 40% in taxes. but there was an e.p.a. person who said let's crucify the oil companies last week. well, we did a little research and come to find out that some of the other big companies in america like apple, for example, they end up side stepping

billions in taxes by pushing things overseas and yet, they don't seem to be in the lne of fire from this administration with regard to the amount of taxes that they pay. what do you make of all of that? >> there was aig story over the weekend that apple has billions and billions of dollars and they're not bringing it in and they're not paying taxes on it and obviously, something will be done. mething has to be done at some point but they do hit the oil companies very hard. there's noquestion. but, you know, honestly, gretchen, it's very, ver hard for me to feel sorry for the oil companies at the same time. >> why? >> well, because i think, you know, they are doing very well. and they're making a lot of money. they are very, very close with opec and opec is ripping this country like nobody has ever ripped it before so you're really talkingo the wrong person in terms of that. >> how would you change the current scope of the way things are working, then? >> i thi evebodyhould pay a similar tax. i mean, big corporations are big corporations. whether it's oil or computers and i think they should pay a very low tax but they should pay a similar tax.

there shouldn't be that kind of disparity. >> so it should be in the president's words, fair. >> it should be a fair tax. yeah, there should be a fair tax. there should be a tax where apple and exxon are, you know, on a similar basis. >> absolutely. >> i just want to see if the present is going to be in the rose garden at 12:00 2:00 condemning apple and google for not paying enough taxes. >> i don't think he will be. but it will be really nice to see one pay more and one pay less. in any event, many should p as little as possible especially the middle class and especially lots of people, you got to keep the taxes down. we are the highest tax nation in the world and it's obviously taken incentive away because look how badly we're doing. we're doing very badly as a nation. i was in the republic of georgia over the weekend. in fact, that's why i didn't do your show last week. and you have to see a place that's booming. it's unbelievable. this was a russian satellite for a period of time. broke away. it's, you know, leaders are

going to that country to find out what they're doing. >> what's the industry there? >> it's everything. but one of them is tourism. and what they're doing, they're building a place that's going to be one of the great places of the world within four or five years. i see what they're doing. >> so before we move on in the next topic, what are you going to be investing in? >> i'm doing a big job there and doing a big development there and it's been amazing. it's been amazing. you're talking about 10% growth as opposed to 1% or 2% that we have in this kuncountry but the% has been a bad number. >> he's been western trained. >> he's one of the great leaders of the world right now and literally, otherountries, major countries are going there to find out what he's doing. >> donald trump, let me ask you something -- the president of the united states is saying, you know, bin laden is dead and g.m. is alive. do you believe the president deserves credit for saving the auto industry? >> i think a lot of people deserve credit. i think there were numbers of ways you could have saved it. you could htaken a harder

stance. you could have taken over the instry you could have done lots of different things and i think lots of different ways would have worked. ultimately, it would have worked. neral motors, when they filed for bankruptcy, they were able to continue and continue onward. so whether you did it the way th they did it or you did it a different way, numerous ways would have worked to save general motors, general motors was not going to be wiped off the face of the planet. >> yeah. and over the weekend, the romney camp has come out and said, look, the president was simply following our advice. manage bankrupt but the other component is g.m. got a whole bunch of government dough. >> well, you know, if you look at what mitt romney said originally, he did talk about a managed bankruptcy and that's what it was. it was a managed bankruptcy. and it worked outnd everybody is sort of happy, i think. some people aren't real that the government put up all that money. >> didn't work out for some of the people, though, that lost their pensions because it w a structured bankruptcy and a lot of people argue that the unions were the ones who benefited in

it more than anybody else. >> the biggest beneficiaries were the unions, no question about that. >> all right. and also ford, they did things right and planned for a rainy day and they're competing against the government and everybody else. >> they restructured ahead of the crash. >> he's one of the great leaders of industry. i mean, what he's done at ford has been amazing because he did it without the bankruptcy. >> let's talk about your show. spoiler alert in case anybody doesn't want to know who was kicked off last night. so you had another heated argument between two women still standing in the board room. >> lisa lampinelli is a little feisty. let's hear how this played out and go to the board room. >> what did you do, diana? >> there's no way -- >> tell us what you did. tell us what you did. >> tell us what you did. >> how can you sit there and say i did, i did, i did, i did when i said lisa, i'm project manager. i want to do it with you, sit next to me. we'll do it together. >> because we had 20 minutes

and you were sucking the -- >> with respect to project manager. >> i don't have any if it's you. >> after that woman on woman war, who got kicked off? >> well, i fired diana mendoza who is miss universe and i'm a fan of diana. she'an incredible beauty, as you probably have noticed. of course, that's not politically correct. but i'll say it anyway. she's a beauty. and she got fired and she happens to be, i think, outstanding in a lot of ways and she happens to also be very smart and lisa would never give her credit. but the problem -- she was the project manager but diana is a grated, great person and i think she's going to have a fantastic career. >> we ow arsenio hall gets the money for the magic johnson foundation. here's the question, try not to duck it. is she the hottest woman you've ever fired? >> you know, i could maybe agree with that. i mean, she really is -- gretchen, you have to say, i mean, she is -- >> i'm not saying anything. >> she is a -- >> don't get me into this!

>> like gretchen, she is a great beauty. and she's also very smart. s is -- she's very much like gretchen in many ways. >> right. >> thank you. >> although gretchen would have fought back harder against lampinelli. i think she wod have been torn up. >> i think lisa wouldn't have had a chance. that's true. >> wow. wish you were my boss because then you wouldn't fire me. >> lisa has been very good as far as the entertainment. i mean, she's been amazing. >> arsenio is starting to bug me. is he bugging you? >> no, i think he's doing great. i really do. and clay aen has been doing great. you have a lot of them. i mean, it's been an amazing season. the ratings have been terrific. we just keep chugging alg. season 12, if you can believe it. >> i don't hike to talk about myself during your segments but only you can help me with this. since you gave me the trump cologne that is available at macy's, women keep coming on to me. >> can you tell me how to handle this? >> well, it has that effect. it's success by trump and either you'll become very successful or the women will be all over you

or better yet, both. >> ok. so you really have no advice, just deal with it >> you just have to handle it. it's not ea, brian, i have to tell you. you'll be able to handle it very nicely i predict. >> we have the donald trump here on the program every monday. if you'd like to communicate with him on trump -- on twitter, it's realdonaldtrump at twitter. thank you, donald. >> thank you very much. >> see you next week. here are the rest of your headlines. london armed and ready for the olympics. that's right,uthorities saying they might put missiles on the roof of an apartment building two miles from olympic stadium. hundreds of people living there warn it will be part of the air defenses for the olympics. the military says it will be used as the last resort if ere are terrorist threats. >> right. meanwhile, a california man in court today after being arrested for this. he's accuse of slamming into two bicyclists with his car and taking off. whole thing is caught on the cyclist's helmet cam. watch.

getting rid of fraud. joining us from houston is founder and presidenof true the vote. good morning to you, katherine. >> good morning. >> you started this a couple of years ago. what did you do? >> we saw voter fraud with our own eyes in 2009 and from that point, we decided that it was in time for citizens to get involved, and so we've started an effort to encourage people to get involved in the election process and help ensure free and fair elections and the idea spread. >> how do you dothat? do you actually go to the polling sites? what do yo do? >> well, yeah, there's so many ways for citizens to get involved. you can work at the polls. you can help make sure that the voter rolls are accurate. you can work in early ballot processes. there's so many ways. the key is, though, just to take the first step, assign priority to it and make sure that your community has free and fair elections. >> you know, it's intesting, katherine, i know that you're a nonpartisan group, nonprofit group. you would think that both sides of the aisle would want this to be the way that you're trying to make it which is to make sure

there's no fraud. but what kind of reaction have you received? >> well, we have received a good bit -- a good bit of hosti hostile pushback and it's extremely unfortunate but it's apparently what comes with the territorwhen you trying to advance a somewhat political agenda. against someone that -- and an organization that would just stand r trh. you know, the irony oft is our efforts really help secure their right to protest. and we welcome their participation! >> right, so we're watching people who came out to protest the fact that you were just trying to make sure elections didn't have fraud in them. let's look at a new fox news poll. voter identification laws, here's what americans say. 70% say they're needed to stop illegal voting. 26% say they're unnecessary or discourage voting when it comes to having to provide i.d. what do you make of that? >> well, i mean, we absolutely agree that photo voter i.d.

would help improve the overall integrity and accuracy of the process. but i think 's very clear that the american people support it, states support it. and elections should be run by the states. it's somewhat troubling that our federal government refuses to accept and acknowledge the fact that it's what people want. >> so true the vote is the name of the citizen led organization. how can people get involved? >> go check out true the vote.org and you'll be able to see all the trainingrograms that we have. you'll be able to help us as we work towar a timeline to november 6th. we are on a target to recruit and train about a million volunteers between now and november 6th. so it's part of a growing movement and we encourage people to get involved. >> all right. catherine is the founder. thanks so much for your time today. >> thanks so much for having me, gretchen. >> well, no budget, no problem. how is it possible that congress hasn't had a budget for three straight years? dana perino joins us at the top

dana perino p will join us soon. newetails on a crash that killed three generations of one family, including a ten-year-old girl yesterday when the family's suv plunged into a wooded area this belongs to a local zoo in the bronks. the driver, 45-year-old maria gonzalez, died instantly. the crash also claimed the lives of hicks family members -- six family members. they were -- >> 30 years. sometimes you come come on events that are horrific and this was one of them. >> gretchen: the cause of the crash under investigation. cops don't believe anything criminal was involved. new video in out of oklahoma city. rain pounding the area, causing serious flooding. this road look more like a river this morning. so far no reports of any injuries. that same severe weather system moving through missouri today.

any other modern president in u.s. history. the rise of the president's permanent campaign by brendan dougherty we want back to jimmy carter and found president obama held 104 fund-raisers for a total of 124 this year. the figures show he held more reelection fund-raisers than every elected president since richard nixon. according to the book, president obama also the only president in the last 35 years to visit every battle ground state in his first year in office. the book comes out in july. every president starts campaigning, but i think it's time that ybe we stop that by having just one term presides, or maybe stop the idea they -- >> brian: one six-year. >> gretchen: maybe. 'cause otherwise they don't get anything done. there is dana perino. >> steve: what did you think about that? >> partly -- i think that brian hit on something here, it's obvious that this is what president obama and his team have been doing since inauguration day really.

th battle ground state day is interesting. >> steve: never stopped campaigning? >> no. there is not a lot of reason to go to states like wyoming, because you won't win those. there are great reasons to go if you want to visit or they might have gonfor a family vacation. he should be higher up in the ratings and polls if he were going to win election, if the election were held today. he's not because he's -- they've been fumbling on their policy and on their record and they'll have to run on that. >> brian: i thought the best thing they could have done is to put together policies that could turn the economy around. that's better than 5,000 campaign appearances. >> instead, they basically don't look at anything that's actually going on. constantly, like a squirrel in a room with a disco ball. >> brian: udent loan, buffet tax, blame the oil companies. >> gretchen: one of the things they really could have capitalized on is the killing of osama bin laden. that was one of the important things he has accomplished in the last 3 1/2 years.

yet, i was very surprised to see the tack they took in the campaign ad. they turned it as an attack on mitt romney. watch this. >> he took the harder and the more honorable path and the one that produced, in my opinion, the best result. >> it's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying it catch one person. he was referring to the hunt for osama bin laden. >> gretchen: i'm surised bill clinton is in this ad because a lot of people would say he had a lot of chances to get this guy. first and foremost. and also, didn't bill clinton know that would be the way in which the ad was going to turn? why wouldn't they come out and say, yeah, we got bin laden and

leave it at that? >> i don't know. but i never underestimate this white house's ability to overplay their hand. to a person, everybody praised president obama for good reason, for make the tough decision, taking thes intelligence, moving it forward. do you have a friend in your life who is like that guy that every christmas party, he regails with you that one time in college football where he caught that pass examine he's been trying pick up girls and dine out on it ever since? >> steve: like brian. >> they went a little too far n. a situation like this, less is more. yes, we caught osama bin laden. yes, i am proud that we made the decision. i am proud of the men who carried it out. done, you don't have to then question what anybody else would have done 'cause how do they know? it just rings a little discordant to people. >> brian: john mccain also ripped him. he said that one decision he got right into a pathetic political

act of self congratulations. same on him for turning this into a political ad. >> yeah, you should have had him on today. >>teve: here we go in the way back machine, four years ago, bill burton, one of the communications guys, oddly and ironically called out hillary clinton for using and politicizing bin laden. burton says, it's ironic that she would borrow the president's tactics in her own campaign and invoke bin laden to score political points. we already have a president who plays the politics spear and we don't need another. i think she was referring to your old boss. >> i think this is you see people getting turned off by politics across the country. because you could take anything and say -- today i'm sure the democrats will say, well bush did it in 04. that's when he did. and then hillary clinton did it. but now he's doing it. i actually think taking it the one step further also, allowing and inviting in nbc news to come and do an interview inside the situation room, i don't remember

ever having reporters go into the situation room. >> brian: i don't think it's ever been done. >> we would release photos every once in a while,. >> gretchen: but this is the iconic photo of the top level government officials watching the bin laden thing go down. this is the room then that brian williams from nbc came in and did the one year anniversary interview. you're saying that you also believe is over the top? >> no. i'm sorry, the brian williams piece, yes. this photo was important. but no, i think it will say to people, okay. we get it. we know that you made the decision to get osama bin laden. okay. can we -- what else can we talk about? >> brian: it's too much i and not enough we and can we please remember it was the navy seals who took him out? it was aough decision, but it was a group operation. >> nowhere in the ad does it talk about them. >> gretchen: i wouldn't have a problem with the ad if he said yes, one of my greatest accomplishments was keeping our

country safe and i did that and i made the tough call and just stop there. >> right. instead, what they've done is turned it into a news story where they look small. >> steve: what about over the last month or two we heard a lot about the war on women and the democrats in the senate are coming out with the paycheck fairness act. what is going on politically here that bothers you? >> it's another distraction of dealing with the bigger, major financial issues that this country should try to be dealing with. this is not a job creator. this is actual -- there is an argument that it could hurt women. i'm for equal women. i'm also for flexibility for women to be able to go to different company, shop around for where they want to week for the best benefits they can get or some flexibility because women are also helping raise the next generation of people. interesting story in the "wall street journal" today that there is an amazing crop of women right now that are on the verge of becoming ceo in the next five to ten years.

that's major improvement and they will fight for the salaries that they're calling for. >> brian: can that play politically against mitt romney? >> maybe for 48 hours. this is not going to be a long running thing. they've chosen these issues for a wk at a time, there will be a distraction. when over-- like last week, good example when the department of labor tried to force farm laws, new work rules for when kids and how kids could worken farms, the people out there, like farmers in fields, on their twitter accounts and the department of labor caved within 48 hours. >> gretchen: on this, won't romney have to take a stand? he'll have to say i'm in favor of the fairness act or i'm not. >> i don't think that the presidentialandidate should get drawn into every single issue. >> gretchen: he'll be asked that question. >> i'm sure they'll handle it fine. he needs to talk about the bigger picture. i'm not for more government

interfering into our economic system, into the private secto >> steve: yeah. didn't the president of the united states make a joke at the white house correspond he wants dinner, i think it was him, about the democrats not passing -- no, it wasn't the president. it might have been jimmy kimmel made that joke. it's been over three years since they've come up with a budget. the house has run by the -- rather l by the republicans. but it seems embarrassing. itidn'happen on your watch. >> i thought the most embarrassing thing was they haven't done budgetary stuff and the senior democrat in charge of it said two weeks ago he wanted to put forward a bull that he wanted it in committee that would show that there is a budget. and about 16 hours later after calls from the white house and senator reid's office, that was off the table because they don't want to do anything. >> gretchen: why did he want to do that?

because he's retiring. >> also because he's a strong public servanthat wanted to do the right thing. senate democrats are the biggest menace in washington, d.c. because you don't have the president leading on any big issues and the senate refuses to take anything that the house republicans and sometimes on a bipartisan basis pass and so you basically gridlock is the name of the game. that's why people are really turned off. i don't think that's why a picture of fairness, 48 hours, blah, mr.. nobody remembers that in november. >> steve: dana perino watches "the five" at 5:00 o'clock. >> gretchen: coming up, very revealing e-mails from missing susan powell just released. the stunning thing she told friends and family right before she disappeared. >> brian: some said it couldn't get rebuild. now the freedom tower is about to hit a major milestone. peter johnson, jr. is live at ground zero with a firefighter who lost his firefighter son on september 11

>> steve: when the september 11 attacks transformed the world trade center into ground zero, some questioned whether or not it would ever be rebuilt. today one world trade center will reclaim the manhattan skyline and rise even taller officially today than the empire state building. peter johnson, jr. is at the world trade center site with lee, a hero of 9-11 who lost the son who was a firefighter on that day. peter? >> good morning, steve. on this bright, chilly spring morning in downtown manhattan, there is a new sense of hope and

optimism in the air. as the freedom tower known as one world trade center will actually surpass the height of the iconic empire ste building today. in a place that we know for remembrance, this is a day of renaissance in downtown manhattan and there is a great sense of freshness and opportunity here today. i've seen it in speaking to some of the people and some of the workers here earlier today. i'm so happy we have lee with us. come on in. lee is one of the greats here in new york city. his family lost their son, jonathan, who came eight miles from queens to help save new yorkers on that 9-11, ten years ago. lee was a decorated firefighter d decorated vietnam veteran and he runs the tribute center here in manhattan. he's really one of our great, great american heros. good morning. what is a renewable for our city

and what does it mean i terms of remembrance for your loss? >> i think this is an absolutely spectacular day. the empire state building had its day again, you know, and lasted for over ten years. but now topping off the freedom tower over the mark of the empire state building means a lot. it shows the resilience of this country of ours and it's rebuilding and revitalizing. and it's bringing back what was taken away fr us and also a reflection of remembering when we see it. >> in terms of remembering and in terms of the sacrifice, not to get too personal, you suffered cancer as a result of trying to recover your son and recover other sons for nine years. there has been a lot of sacrifice. what do you think going forward -- i know you can see this tower from your hometown in long island. is it a double-edged sword some days? >> you know, for me it is. for my family it is.

one, we look at the towers that's being built and of course you think back because now there is the tower where the original tower stood. but it's also also what we can do. sure we had politic, sure it took quite a while to get where we are, but we did it. this country of ours, it's the best country in the world. and nothing keeps us down. >> it is the bescountry in the world and we do it examine we'll continue to do it. what would jonathan say today? >> jonathan would say to me, dad, what are you doing? you're supposed to be out hunting, hiking and fishing. but i have a new mission. we all have missions in life. >> you were the co-founder of the tribute center here on liberty street, been almost 3 million americans and people from around the world that have come here to see it. it's something that should be seen. this tower should be seen because it says more to the world than anything that we can say here today. >> absolutely.

>> gretchen: he was fighting terror with the australianavy when his life changed forever. a bull shark attacked him, the whole thing caught on camera as he was pulled under water. eventually he was pulled to safety, but st a part of his arm and right leg. >> brian: instead of giving up, he fough back, getting back into the water just a few months later and now he's sharing his story and your injuries. you make that transparent. paul, welcome back. we had you the first time around. what do you think we can learn from your story? number one, you're fearless. >> well, i wouldn't go that far just i've learned how it manage my fear through 12 years in the military first and army paratrooper and with the navy. and being petrified the sharks the whole time i was a clearance diver, learningto put the fear to the back of your mind and not let it control you and dictate what you can and can't accompli. >> gretchen: what happened that day? >> i was swimming on the surface on my back and i was concluding my legs head not guiy towards

a point where i was dictated to go. looked over my left shoulder and felt a big whack in the leg. when i looked down, i looked straight into the eyes of a big nasty shark. >> brian: punch him? >> i did actually. i tried to jab him in the eyeball with my right hand. clearly that tint work out too well. i had my hand in his mouth already, so i tried with my left hand to go for the eyeball. tried to push it you and finally punched it in the nose, but all for nothing. >> gretchen: who saved you? >> the shark took me under water, took me all around, brought me up, back down and get shaking me like a rag doll and eventually i was free. i didn't know how or why, i popped to the surface and started swimming for safety. >> brian: when you see this video, what do you think, this is it, right? >> yeah. i had a very different view that morning. >> brian: yeah, did you have a different view. >> it seems disconnected when i see it like this. also was very quick.

when i went through it, i can break it downnto minute parts, whereas this is a couple of seconds and it's done. >> gretchen: is this horrible for you to watch? >> not really. to see this and to see the photos of the surgery and how i came into hospital, i'm just amazed that the first day that they gave me when i got out of the water and what the doctors did to keep me alive, that it's actually possible to save someone's life after those horrific injuries. >> brian: you were work out immediate lea and you have in your book -- you said you held back some pictures, but some of the pictures are pretty grisly. >> yeah. hasn't happened in a whole year that i've been doing motivational speaking, but just the last couple of months, i've been showing some of the more gruesome surgery photos in my talks and i've had three people pass out. >> gretchen: i was just going to say, let's not show those f me right now. i tend to be squeam itch. i think your best qlity is you

have this amazing attitude. where did you get that? >> i guess through a life of growing up struggling and not always being good at things and -- >> brian: autopsy crazy man as a kid? >> i was a little crazy growing up. hurting myself a lot, going to hospital. graduating to criminal activities, doing drugs and selling drugs and stealing and learning lessons along the way and struggling through certain situations, having to change my life drastically, sort of taught me how to deal with struggle and how to deal with getting through adversity. >> brian: i see your hand. is your mindontrolling your hand? >> more so the muscles. it's just the same as if you were going to operate your other hand, make a fist and do that. that makes my hand close. when i do that, it makes it open. >> gretchen: wow. the technology is amazing. >> gretchen: you took your story to the book, but now you're taking your story to the world and giving motivational speech.

>> really throwing it out there. it's kind of nerve racking, putting these very emotional and personal aspects of your life out there to the public, but from what i've garnered, people are really taking away what i'm trying to get throughout and making a difference in their liveand in the lives of people around them. >> brian: also if you're in the water and there is a bull shark there, swim away. >> yeah, just get out of the water. >> brian: that's what i'm thinking. no time for fear is a best seller and great meeting you. see you again. >> thank you for having me. >> gretchen: next up, the speaker was supposed to be giving an anti-bullying speech to students. but what kids got was an attack on the bible instead? >> we can learn to ignore the (bleep) in the bible about gay people. >> gretchen: did the anti-bully speaker undercut his entire bullying message? e-mail us. we'll tell you more about that story coming up. >> brian: e mails from missing mom, susan powell just leased and what she told friends and family right before she

"naked gun." do you remember when he we want out and taking care of the queen. >> steve: exactly right. >> brian: that was that documentary done by lesle

nielsen. >> steve: we have headlines. new evidence in the disappearance of susan powell. a utah newspaper just published nine new e mails written by her in 2009 before she vanished. the missing mother of two wrote the messages to friends, co-workers and members of her church begging someone to help her husband, josh. one says, quote, i want him in counseling, on meds. i want my husband, friend and lover back. no more crazy, outrageous beliefs and opinions. the days following those e-mails, she went missing. her husband was questioned as a person of interest, but never charged. he insists his wife ran away while he was on a late night camping trip with the kids. but back in february, josh powell killed himself and their two children in a fire. >> gretchen: chinese dissident who escaped house arrest and has been hiding out at the u.s. embassy may be coming to america? we hear secretary clinton is working on a deal to secure

asylum for him. he became a political target after he exposed forced abortions by his government. brian? >> brian: the government has been busy pushing the benefits of wind farms. but it turns out the benefits may contribute to global warming. according to a new study, temperatures increased near four of the largest wind farms in texas. the problem? the giant propellers caused the air to circulate more. it means during the night, warmer air from higher up in the atmosphere is pulled down to mix with the cooler ground temperatures. wind ain't working. >> gretchen: remember this rare glimpse inside the situation room during the navy seal raid on osama bin laden's compound? secretary of state hillary clinton now poking some fun at her unforgettable and i thought the mt natural expression in the entire photo. >> tt's the way i usually look when my husband drags know an action movie. what it conjures up is all of the emotion that were running throughy and every other

person in that small group. it was just an extraordinary experience and areat privilege to be part of. >> gretchen: this week m one year since osama bin laden was shot dead. >> steve: that was a fast year. meanwhile, let's look at the day ahead weather wise. we've got storms moving through om the great lakes down through the ohio valley, the mid mississippi and missouri valley, the heaviest stuff at this hour is moving through, as you can see, southern portions of missouri and the ozarks in arkansas. travels down through portions of texas as well. meanwhile, the current readings as you head out the door, it's chilly in caribou, maine. 37 there. 33 in rapid city. otherwise we've got temperatures in the 40s and 50s in the northern third of the united states and 50s and 60s and even 70s from mid atlantic down south. daytime highs on this monday in the last day of april, take a look. it's going to be 90 today in atlanta. about the same for tampa and new

orleans and san antonio. temperatures in the 80s across much of texas. and 70 as far north as the northern plains. mr. kilmeade, you're not only doing sports, you're doing the police blotter. >> roger clemens' career has been a mess and it's going to go on trial to find out if he's guilty. he resumes his trial in about an hour. he's accused of lying to congress when he said he never used performance enhancing drugs even though he was 61 when he was pitching. the prosecution's first witness, congressional staffer phil better net will be backn the stand. his testimony focuses on the deposition of clemens in 2008 and justifying congress' reason for doing the drug investigation in sports to begin with. lot of people think it's big waste of money. lakers center andrew dineham making history for the lakers. he took game one against the nuggets by playing sensational. he blood ten shots and had ten points, 13 rebounds. theakers' first triple double since magic johnson.

they bt the nuggets in game 1. we may be closeo return of lynn sanity. jere lin now says he may be ready to rejoin the knicks in game 4, may 6. however, lin does have soreness in the knee. we'll find out. the knicks took a pounding in more ways than one. they lost their best dfender and nobody else showed up. >> gretchen: i just realized, you got new sports music. very like gladiators. >> brian: yes. you compare this to the weather music. gretchen: oh, no! it sounds like you're bullying steve a little bit? >> brian: really? >> gretchen: yeah. that's the next topic. >> brian: really? >> grehen: yeah. there was an anti-bullying speaker who was supposed to be talking about not bullying, encouraging kids to learn some of the skills to take on bullies, or not become one. there is the guy right there. he's the founder of it gets better project. but instead, dan savage, that

speaker, ended up attacking a group when he was supposed to be talk being anti-bullying and attacking christians. listen to this. >> people often point out that they can't help with the antigay bullying 'cause it says in leviticus, in timothy t says there in romans that being gay is wrong. we can learn to ignore the (bleep) in the bible about gay people. >> steve: so he went off on the bible. a number of the students just had heard enough even though this was a national high school journalism conference. they didn't want to hear that from that guy. a fellow named rick tuttle is a journalist in school, teacher at sutter high school in california. he was on the program earlier and he was horrified that this guy was talking like that. >> i thought there was valuable in going to this conference, to the speech which i thought was anti-bullying, but what we got

was a vulgar, profanity laced attack on christians. i take my responsibility to take all students -- to protect all students from being bullied and so i unwittingly took my students where they were bullied to where they wanted to leave. this was their way to say i'm going to take a tan and it took a lot of guts. that's what we teh them is walk away. when they got outside the convention center, he was still lobing insults at them. >> steve: insults not only at christian, but also mr. tuttle said that there was some sexual innuendo that was completely inappropriate for a high school ehave not. >> brian: did he provide a dvd fore they booked him about what the speech is going to be like? >> steve: he's supposedly a national expert on bullying. he have also has a -- let's see, a sex advice column called savage love as well. he did sayfterwards if anybody -- if i hurt anybody's feeling, i apologize. >> brian: right. but the room was empty by then. >> gretchen: coming up on "fox &

friends," a plane crash lands right into the ground on purpose? you got to hear this one and see it. >> brian: president obama bragging about the bin laden raid. is this spike the football? something he swore he'd never do? up next, the democrat who voted for the president, his take may surprise you [ kate ] most women may not be properly absorbing

the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. fohalf the calories plus vgie nutrition. could've had a v8. >> steve: all right. some quick headlines on this monday morning. new developments surrounding the disappearance of isabel celis, the girl who vanished in arizona. cops in tucson say one of the guys seen on this surveillance video has stepped forward and could be a key witness. detectives are not saying what

he knows. investigators in mexico have also now joined the search. andhis crash landing, no accident. a plane brought down as part of a stunt by the discovery channel. the 747 was loaded with cameras and tests and brought counsel in the mexican desert. it's for a show called "curiousity" following a team of experts that study ways to make planes safer. got to crash them to make them safer. gretch? >> gretchen: have you ever heard of a presidential enemy list? "wall street journal" reporting president obama has one and names wealthy mitt romney donors. our next guest says moves like this are demeaning to the oval office and make the president look desperate. mike goodwin voted for president as well. now you see it sort of a little differently with an enemies list. are you to tell me that no other president has had had an enemies list? >> we're not aware of one since

richard nixon. >> gretchen: what do you make of the fact that there maybe one? >> i think this president is desperate. i think he is demeaning the office. the osama bin laden ad, the suggestion that i killed osama bin laden and mitt romney wouldn't, i mean, it's so distasteful. it is very much against what president obama himself warned against and we don't spike the football. that's why he wouldn't show the pictures of the corpse of osama bin laden. so to go out and use it in such a naked political way, i think is tasteless. look, people know that under his watch, osama bin laden was brought -- >> gretchen: it's a big accomplishment, but it wasn't even partisan! >> now it is. >> gretchen: everyone in america rooted and cheered and said this is fantastic. do you think the president authorized that ad or some nyon underneath him is the one who thought of that? >> if he didn't authorize it, if he doesn't like it, there is ample opportunity for him to say so. we have to assume that he not only authorized it, that he likes it. and i think that is in many ways

just a classic example of what's wrong with this presidency. he was supposed to unite the country. that's why voted for him. he said no red states, no blue states, the united states. we're going to move beyond the partisan divisions. i think that is what this country desperately needs. it still does. unfortunately, he has become much more of a divider than a uniter. he does things like this that just, i think drive a wedge down the middle of this country which i why i think it makes it so hard to get anything done, because he's not serious about getting things done. he's only serious about campaigning. >> gretche they mu be looking at internal polls because some of that appears to be working or they wouldn't continue with this lingo. you have talked to some democrats off the record and what are they saying? >> there is there is a lack of mistrust among democrats for the president. you look at the votes in the senate on the president's budget. he got zero votes for his last two budgets in the senate. and in the house in the last one

as well. so you have a party that says, wait a minute. he's not offering serious budgets. he's offering talking points for his own reelection. we in the government, in the congress, we have to actually vote on these things with the understanding that they might become law. so they are turning down his budgets because he knows they're not seous documents. so what does that mean for the rest of us? we have a president of a united states who refuses to offer a serious budget to congress. i mean, this is the level -- demeaning the oval office, it's because we have all these great problems and what is he doing? campaigning on i killed osama bin laden, mitt romney wouldn't. meanwhile, we've been downgraded by the credit rating agencies. we're headed toward a fisl cliff. he doesn't talk about any of that because his policies are actually unpopular. >> gretchen: very interesting. check out michael's columns in the "new york post." they're worth a read. good to see you. >> thank you. >> gretchen: he's the man behind
