half a billion dollars. yes. this is "way too early." >> good morning. it's thursday may 28th. welcome to "way too early." we're live in washington d.c. our top story this morning, they thought it was inactive but they thought wrong. live anthrax went out to research facilities in nine states in a military base in south korea. the mixup came when an army lab in utah sent what they thought were inactive samples of the deadly bacteria. a lab in maryland discovered it was actually a live and still deadly. defense officials stress there is no risk to the general public and no confirmed reports of anthrax exposure. four civilian lab workers in the u.s. are taking medication as a precaution. along with 22 in south korea who the air force says may have been

exposed. a full investigation by the cdc and the u.s. military is under way. it appears no one appears to be hurt. let's turn to the sports scandal around the world. 14 people are faced with corruption in fifa. among them 9 high ranking fifa officials charged with taking over $150 million in bribes and kickbacks over the years. the charges didn't reach the top. the long time president was not listed in the indictment and will stand for reelection to his post tomorrow. meanwhile in a separate investigation, the swiss have launched a proep into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 world cup awarding to russia and qatar. >> the world's most popular sport was kicked in the gut. the game in the u.s. that kids love to play.

in switzerland seven of the top international sports were arrested. 14 faced corruption charges involving more than $150 million in bribes and kickbacks. >> they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves. >> reporter: fifa is to international soccer with the ioc is to the oh picks, awarding sponsorships and tv rights worth billions and picking host places for the world cup. >> this was hijacked. that field that is so famously flat was made tilted. >> reporter: among those already pleading guilty, chuck blazer. blazer who pocketed millions cooperated with authorities wearing a wire to help implicate overs.

>> with those charts that the justice department and the fbi trotted out, it looked like a mafia case. >> reporter: none of this is surprising to soccer fans but what is surprising is that it was the u.s. that finally took on fifa. separately swiss officials say they're investigating the awarding of the 2018 world cup to russia. >> organized in russia. >> reporter: and 2022 to qatar. fifa's president welcomed the actions claiming it will help root out corruption in the sport. >> the money is the only language they understand. >> reporter: they stressed the charges are only the beginning. a scandal knocking the world's famous sport off of its feet. >> as for fifa's presidential election still scheduled for tomorrow. european soccer's governing body is calling for a postponement.

they say they'll make a final decision today about what is the next step. let's go to politics. and then there were sefven. rick santorum is the latest republican to officially enter the race for 2016. he kicked off his campaign near his childhood home in pennsylvania. he highlighted his blue collar black ground to appeal to middle class voters and also took a shot at hillary clinton. this is ? >> this is a piece of coal. this is where my american story started. my grandfather was a coal miner who brought my dad, a seven-year-old from fascist italy. like millions of other americans, he didn't come for this. he came for this. freedom. hillary clinton and big

business, they have called for a massive influx in unskilled labor. business does it because they want to control costs. hillary does it well she just wants votes. their priorities are profits and power. my priority is you, the american worker. >> populism. later today george pataki is expected to run he's running for president and "the washington post" reports john kasich is looking at launching his bid after june 30th. hillary clinton returned to a state she failed to win in 2008 and had an up expected guest. she was back in south carolina but republican carly fiorina was there as well. they held dualing events where they focussed on equal pay for

women and carly fiorina criticized hillary clinton in a news conference. clinton also generated laughs yesterday when she said the white house would not impact here like it has others. >> all our presidents come into office looking so vigorous. think about what they look like on inauguration day. and then we watch them. they grow grayer and grayer and by the time they leave, they're as white as the building they live in. now, let me tell you. i'm aware, i may not be the youngest candidate in this race but i have one big advantage. i've been coloring my hair for years. so you're not going to see me turn white in the white house.

>> she has her arkansas twang coming back right there. and the judge has ruled that hillary clinton's e-mails from the state department membership released on a monthly basis. the state department asked for every 60 days. that means the story is going to continue way into the 2016. rand paul's comments on "morning joe" yesterday, they raised some eyebrows and drew some criticism from within his own party. >> a lot of people are trapped inside the beltway. they think war is always the answer. i'm asking difficult questions. do you think the invasion of iraq made them more stable or us more safe? >> some would say isis exists because of people like you who said not go into iraq. >> they grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms snatched up by isis.

they also wanted to bomb asaad. they created these people. everything that they have talked about in foreign policy they've been wrong about for 20 years and they have the gull to keep pointing fingers otherwise. >> other republicans in the 2016 field wasted no time in objecting. jindal said this is a perfect example of why paul is unsuited to be commander and chief. it's one thing to take an outlandish position as a senator. one commander and chief is a different job. it's time for the rest of us to say it. former senator, rick santorum had this to say. >> i would expect to hear that from maybe bernie sanders. >> bernie sanders and rand paul

interesting. changing gears, the six baltimore police officers charged have requested their case be moved elsewhere. they say it's impossible to select an impartial jury in baltimore due to the overwhelming criticism of the officers and of the widespread effects on the city. this creates an insurmountable prejudice to their client's rights for a fair trial. this city has seen 36 homicides this month. and arrests have dropped by 50% compared to last year. something to keep an eye on during this trial. let's go to texas where officials have made two more heart breaking discoveries. yesterday they found the remains of an unidentified boy in the river. it's unclear at this point if he was even reported missing.

with body of one of the eight people missing from a vacation home that swept down river, that was also recovered bringing the death toll from this epic weather event to 23. >> reporter: a massive search effort is growing. authorities in hays county identified another flood victim 42-year-old woman after rising waters swept away a vacation home. we spoke with her sister and brother-in-law just before the tragic news. >> my sister is my best friend. we're three years apart. she's just the most outgoing sweet, wants to be everybody's friend. >> she is still searching for her parents, her brother-in-law and her nephew a six-year-old boy. >> loves to sing songs and make up his own words to songs.

>> reporter: allen danielle her brother-in-law went up in a helicopter searching with hundreds of volunteers. the family treasured their vacation home for decades. >> the only reason we weren't there last weekend was because of scheduling. so that does keep going through my mind too. >> reporter: around 11:00 saturday night she said her mother texted this picture of the rising water. it was around 1:00 a.m. officials say the home was swept away, the families inside. neighbors say her father ran out to start the suv. she didn't know want to expect but it wasn't there. >> she went double down fell to her knees, and i could only imagine what she was going through. >> we never thought the house could be knocked over ever. >> she has token with the loan survivor so far, devastated.

the search for his wife and their two children a four-year-old and six-year-old continues. >> we're going to survive this together as a family. we have faith that we will get through this and we're praying for miracles. >> thank you so much. let's turn to business stories making headlines around the country this morning. according to a news study, fort lauderdale is among the most expensive places to own a dog. number one, san francisco. it took into account the cost of housing, health care and pet care. a reported asking price for a house, $500 million. a film producer and real estate producer is building a mansion

a lot of people are trapped inside the beltway and they think war is always the answer. but i'm asking difficult questions of republicans. do you think the invasion of iraq made it more stable or us more safe. we now have isis to contend with. >> lindsey graham would say isis exists because of people like rand paul who says let's not go into syria. >> i would say it's the opposite. isis exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately and most were snatched up by isis. these hawks also wanted to bomb assad which would have made isis' job even easier. they
