in to what would be tropical storm debby. maria molina is standing by the fox weather center with the latest on the storms path. what can you tell us? >> good to see you and unfortunately, the system doesn't have a clear path or direction expected. the tropical computer models are pointing it to texas or toward florida. it is a very large cone of uncertainty now. it is not a tropical depression or storm. there have not been a close of circulation detected just yet. hurricane hunters are heading out and surveying what is going on inside of the storm system. we'll have more information then . right now. the national hurricane center gave it a 90 percent chance of becoming tropical storm debby later on today and tomorrow. of course, if that occurs, we are talking about tropical storm warnings and watches that are issued in the gulf
12:01 pm
coast. a lot of the conconviction on the eastern half of the storm system . closer to the state of florida. this is the look at the tropical models and pointing it can go westward and eastward and parts of new orleans and florida panhandle and a big area of interest here. we know that the longer the storm system over the gulf of mexico, the more likely it is that it will strengthen in the warm waters here. conditions are favorable for the storm system to develop and also produce a lot of heavy rain over the state of florida on the order of four-eight inches . locally. and rip currents for beach goers are a big concern for the state of florida. >> maria thank you for keeping track of the storm and we'll check back with you today. >> the united nations secretary general is hoping for retrained and tensions are

high for former alies. turkey prime minister is promising to take action against syria for downing the fighter jet but not saying what he has in mind. they are standing by live in damascus and the only western journalist there at this hour. >> more reaction from the downing yesterday of that turkish jet fighter plane by syria air defense and speaking out today. the turkish president said reaction was necessary but not specific about what would be done. he said perhaps the plane was in syrian air space and the syrian side of the story, it went down according to law and complicated it all of course, turkey suspects everies by rebel to topple the president of syrian.
12:03 pm
>> more bloody fighting across the country. the folks were fired on in the norgern stave alepo. and out in the east where there is oil facilities. rebels hit them. and that is according to activist since the whole thing started 15 months ago. over 14,000 death toll. in that number. 4,000 syrian soldier deaths and today, we had a first hand look at that side of the story, take a look. >> they want it to be a daily ritual in the damascus hospital. syrian soldiers killed in clashes with rebel fighters immorialized. how much more of this can the regime take? it is emotional stuff. regardless of the views of assad as government. it is larger extent draftees
12:04 pm
are killed in the clashs and we heard from young sisters was one soldier who was kill they said why, why, why? it was a waste. and through all of this the government continues to try to put a positive political spin on things. reshuffling the cabinet again and adding two long-time opposition leaders in the ranks of the government and hard line yerse loyalist are still in the main key driving position of little change here according to the analyst that i have spoken to and that means more trouble in the future. >> the stakes are very high. thank you for that update. >> a militant group hamas is threatening to escalate fighting with israel after two gunmen were killed in the gaza strip today. israel has had a week of persistant rocket attacks.
12:05 pm
the increasing violence is undermining the shaky truce brokered by egypt on wednesday. >> i must say mr. chairman, i am offended personally by your calling the attorney general a liar. >> unfortunately over the course of the hearings and this investigation, that focus and that seriousness of purpose regarding the loss. >> we promised the families to find out how it happened which was done and promised them reform which we are not doing. >> democrats on the house oversight arguing that a possible house vote citing eric holder for contempt of congress is out of line. republicans defended the move and saying the goal is to uncover the truth about the controversial fast and furious gun running scheme. that has inflamed and now that
12:06 pm
president obama exerted executive privilege many are wondering what is next? joining us now one of the congressman that was in the hearing,! welcome congressman great to have you here. >> nice to be with you. >> you know eric holder said he's willing to hand over the documents sought by house republican if they will drop the contempt vote set by the house next week. is there wiggle room or has the president's executive privilege order eroded the move. >> i hope the executive privilege challenge doesn't create a road block to meaningful negotiation. but you have to have a meaningful negotiation focused on part of the justice department having been in these kinds of negotiation. the justice department would not accept that kind of a representation from somebody who said i will determine what the documents are and i will
12:07 pm
give you selectively some of those documents and you make a representation to me ahead of time that you will cease this investigation. and so what they are asking for in my mind is not practical. you generally create a privileged log. there is representation thatas many 80,000 documents and only 7600 have been turned over . so who gets to choose what is relevant? i think it is it a large part of that offer. it is in many ways, it is a narrow offer and some suggest not even a real one. >> and the white house spokesman jay carny is calling the republican investigation a politically motivated phishing expectation. >> that's what you do as you attack the investigation and rely on the fact that you try to make it political.
12:08 pm
i am a prosecutor by profession, and trying to look at this thing disately . by virtue of that experience, i know the kind of information that is shared within the justice department. we have whistleblowers and they brought documents that include affidavits of probical cause that is wire tapped. highest level they are making representation to the court regarding certain facts that are brought to the attention at the highest level of the justice department . we know information that is before them and in my mind, it is a direct connection and now the question is, who knew what and what did thea do once they were confronted with that information? to me the frustration is not just stone walling but the evidence as well that there is intimidation by the justice department of some of those
12:09 pm
people who were whistle-blowers. >> is there a cover up that is going on right now? >> i don't want to make a calculated assessment at this point in time. you go on the facts, but when we see the facts, we see them as they dripped out. we have gotten acess to certain documents and the hearing i pointed to the fact that the very prosecutor that they sent from washington down to arizona, sent back an e-mail which we have in which she identified the fact that guns have been walked. 300 to 500? who got that? it went to the head of the criminal unit and gang unit. who did they talk to? that was a specific and unambigousanism inform. we are getting denials that the justice department newknew about gun walking and limited facts contravene it. and these are questions that
12:10 pm
the prosecutor would have. you can't let the justice department be beyond the accountability. >> we reached out to democratic members of the committee who declined our invitation to appear on the program. even if it is true you get the full house to vote eric holder in contempt the decision to prosecute will be at the end. do you expect to see the documents and as far as prosecuting the situation, what is next? >> that would be a decision to prosecute it criminally and that decision would be made by justice department and united states attorney. but it would be very likely he would be instructed not to bring a criminal charge. but there is, more effective place we ought to be anability to ask for a court to come in and a civil resolution in
12:11 pm
which the demand would be that the court compel the justice department to bring the documents before them and make the case in camera as to why they believe they are privileged and why congress ought not to have acess to them. i expect you will see a civil resolution but slow walk. it will take a long period of time to get through it all . part of the objective here is for the justice department to call it political and have it as a political aspect. and to embroil it in the campaign season, i don't want to see campaigns be part of this. and i don't want to see politics to be part of this. >> i understand, congressman, we appreciate you joining us and sharing your insights with us and we will be monitoring the developments closely and wait to see if that vote takes place next week. >> thank you, uma. >> now your turn to way in.
12:12 pm
should eric holder be held in contempt of congress over the fast and furious. tweet us at an hqc or hurricane uma. we'll read your answers on the air later in the hour. >> a big win is a embarrassment for the mexican and u.s. law enforcement. after months of working with u.s. intelligence. they thought they nabbed the son of the country's most wanted drug lords. it turns out they didn't get their man. here's what happened. >> after months of working with u.s. intelligence. mexican navy individuals described the suspect as a rising suspect in the drug traffic being. but he is the father of a toddler and worked with his mother-in-law in a used car dealership. the man arrested presumed to be the son of mexican top refugees drug lord is really

12:17 pm
surprise, no, it was expected outcome because of the over whelming amount of evidence against jerry sandusky. >> currently after the verdict was announced penn state issued a statement addressing the concerns of the victims and the possibility of civil lawsuits and the school and i quote. the university plans to invite victims to participate in a program to facilitate the resolution of claims against the university arising out of mr. sandusky's cuck. it would like to wrap up the civil lawsuits and one thing worth noting here. he was convicted of 45 of the 48 charges. one of the charges he aquited of. involuntarily dev vent sexual intercourse involving victim two. that is a victim that mike mcquery saw sexually abused. they had doubt about mike's testimony but in that instance

vice-presidential candidate would bring on the ticket. that combination would be perfect. >> this year, the presidential ticket could be a double dip cone of vanilla and not french vanilla but plane vanilla that are at the top of the list. >> absolutely. i tell people vanilla is the number one ice cream flavor. >> i love vanilla myself . when you are running in an environment like this and the economy is bad and getting worse. it is an ideal environment for a challenger to an incumbent. you don't want to do too much attention to yourself . don't make yourself a issue or the vice-presidential candidate the issue. let the incumbent and his economy be the issue and that is probably the best ticket to victory. >> i need to ask you who do
12:25 pm
you think will be the vice-presidential nominee at this point? >> well, we have two people in the top of the crystal ball list. we have had senator rob portman of ohio on the list forly and half months. and so we think he is ideal especially he's well qualified and he's well respected in both aisles and he's from ohio. right in 2027 of the last elections. 18 critical and we have former tim pawlenty of minnesota. i don't think he can win minnesota. but he fills the niches that portman does without the hect e electorial. >> and a lot folks are betting on marko rubio. you don't see it that way. >> we originally had rubio right in the top two. the reason we have moved him downward. he's only been in the senate a
12:26 pm
year and half . i astarting to question whether he can attract the hispanic vote. and third, i honestly think that romney can carry the state of the florida on its choice. >> it would be popular in the republican party but not only tea party and across the board and if he's not picked it is obvious that rubio will be on a republican ticket either as president or vice-president. >> we'll see what lies ahead. all interesting to get your take from the crystal ball as we go forward in this presidential campaign. thanks for joining us today. >> i enjoyed it as always. >> thank you, and take care. ron barber is picking up where his former boss gabby giffords took off. he will hold a congress meeting at a safeway meet

12:36 pm
privilege and it is a cover up? >> i am not going to speculate. i will say jay carny said that all the documents directly relating to the fast and furous operation have been divulged what they are talking about deliberate communication between the white house and justice about how to handle the political fall out from the whole action. and so this has nothing to do with finding the truth in my opinion. similarly when we look at the possible contempt vote, it is not going to get us added information that will allow us to learn about what took place with guns that got in the wrong hands. >> mark, republicans are saying that the only reason that the president is using executive privilege on this one is that he may have something to hide, what do you think to that? >> let us stipulate and the president's defenders. i don't count juan on that.
12:37 pm
defenders want to push it and say it is nothing. harshest critics want to hang him on his neg. are there documents that could bear answers and give the terry family and americaless. i don't know that and juan doesn't know that. and only eric holder. it involves trusting the white house which i find hard to do. >> and the investigation of course a year ago . what do you think of holding eric holder and if they go back to the justice department and pursue concerns about prosecution. you think it will lead to getting more documents. >> no. i think it is a totally politicalal act. to me, this is all about the dysfunction and low ball highly partisan politics we see in washington.
12:38 pm
we see so much partisan politics in the justice department. you can go all the way back to janet reno in waco. and alberto gonzalez and the bush administration and question of firing u.s. attorneys and now we see it with eric holder and now going to a new level like we have never seen a attorney general held in contempt of congress. i find it unfortunate. >> but it is unfortunate, and maybe it is unfortunate that he's not forth coming enough. i can't sit here and know that there is manage to this and nor can juan know that there is nothing to it. it is presumed it is political and witch hunt. you find a witch in a witch hunt and we fund the witch and i don't know. and juan doesn't know if it is purely litical. that is a democrat index card and i recommend it not be played. if it takes a contempt or a
12:39 pm
threat of one that eric holder cough up thingings. >> i think it is important to understand that there is a constitutional distunction of oversight ability congress and legal justice department to prosecute people who may have broken the law. congress is not allowed to get involved that could end up in the court of law. it would damage the prosecution. but mark's specific question what do we know or don't know. a lot of what we are hearing from the republican side is all about speculation and rumor and inwendo. and one letter was incorrect and that is evidence. and then it urturns out a aps manager transmitted the wrong information and holder corrected it. and that is used as a basis for endless, phishing
12:40 pm
exhibitions and i think it is a political talking point. but until i see evidence of something that said here is a smoking gun. i don't see it. >> we got it. >> maybe it is in the documents. >> let me jump in here. we are out of time on this subject. we'll come back with more . we'll come back and talk about immigration after the break. don't go away. >> it is every driver's nightmare and unbelievable crash and trapping a family and two small children in a burning car. dramatic out come coming up next. our cloud is not soft and fluffy.
