bret baier is following all of this. i'm wondering if i'm congressman weiner whether i come out at all. what happens? >>guest: it is bizarre. now, we are checking again with our producer on capitol hill, chad, who checked and said that this e-mail that went out from friends of representative weiner announcing this event was, in fact, legitimate and it was believed that the congressman was going to be there and this was not some sort of stunt by breitbart or whoever to get publicity about his -- he may be leaving the podium now. >>neil: he is leaving. we tried to check this out, it was landed and organized and was set up and was legitimate. but ... if you are weiner and we heard reports that he is not seen in the room, or he is not in that room, then, you have to wonder, so could we be being set up? what do you think. >>guest: the news release came from friends of weiner, the campaign organization saying there would be an announcement at 4:00 p.m. and breitbart said he was in the back of room, on a tour, and came over fro

i'm bret baier. president obama today said america is on a path to long-term economic growth, despite less than encouraging numbers recently. white house correspondent wendell goler reports the president is not saying how long that will take. >> in a news conference with german chancellor "good morninchance angela merkel,saidt doesn't signal recession but might not be a one-time occurrence. >> we don't know if this is a one-month episode or longer trend. we're experiencing head winds. gas prices being most prominent. >> reporter: monday he told a cleveland reporter the jobs report was a blip but he wasn't sure what caused it. on this day, a "washington post," abc news poll show americans disapprove of the handling of the economy by a wide margin, he lost the bounce the job approval received after barack obama was killed and most people don't believe the economic recovery has begun. mr. obama says the long-term trend id kate it has. >> over 2 million jobs created in the past 15 months. rebounding of t

the congressman also used his office to mislead several reporters, including our own bret baier. emember this? >> bret: you definitively didn't send it, but you can't definitively say whether it is you or not? >> i can define activity say i did not send this. it looks like a prank and a jock about my name. i can say with certitude that i have hired someone who is going to come in. deconstruct this to make sure this doesn't happen again. i can say like hundreds of thousands, unfortunately, of americans who wake up one morning and find out their account was compromised or someone sent out something under their name they didn't send. i roll up my lives try to dust it off and figure out how we make sure that doesn't happen again. >> sean: with an ethics investigation pending, how long can the congressman hold on to his job? joining me stuart varney. former white house press secretary dana perino. it is kind of breathtaking. >> that was painful. that sound bite there with bret baier i thought that was painful. bearing in mind what has transpired since. >> sean: lie, lie. >> democrats a

one reporter was our own bret baier. >> bret: you didn't send it, but you can't definitively say whether it is you or not. >> i can definitively sadie not send this and it looks like a prank and a joke about my name. i can say with certitude i have hired someone who is going to come in to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> greta: then this morning, news begins leaking that there are more photos. one is said to be graphic. a few hours later, biggovernment.com posts new photos from a second woman who said she received shots of a shirtless weiner. another woman had received hundreds of explicit text messages from the kong imagine. that's when weiner threw in the towel and -- scheduled a news conference. before congressman weiner gets to the podium for his press conference, biggovernment.com's andrew breitbart comes out of seemingly nowhere and takes the stage while awaying for weiner. breitbart demand as apology from the congressman. >> i would like an apology from him for allowing for his political protecters this was his strategy to blame me for hacking. don't worry breitbart is our

jenna: give it to bret baier then. don't want to miss it, absolutely not. gregg?regg: a fox news alert from arizona. crews are battling one of the largest wildfires in state history. the flames are growing by the minute forcing evacuations already burning nearly 300 square miles of brush and timber. this massive inferno sending smoke into new mexico and even colorado triggering health warnings. joining us on the fine the eric with the sholo fire department. eric, thanks for taking a moment. how bad is it? >> pretty big fire as you can tell here. we have erratic wind and dry lightning and some thunderstorm activity going on. we've got firefighters from all over the united states right now. gregg: is any of it contained and is it the terrain that is posing the problems? >> well, yeah, we've got 0% containment right now. pretty dense forest and, steep terrain and, you know, high winds of course. we know that tremendous battle we've got to face here. gregg: what are your prospects for getting this thing under control? >> well, it's we're counting on mother nature to k

bret baier will have the fall-out at the top of the hour on "special report."ht now, back to glenn beck. ♪ ♪ >> glenn: i can't tell you. i can't get my arms around the weiner story. he's not resigning. congratulations, america. we have another winner. or weiner in this case. yesterday, i was walking from church to my office. usually i don't work on the sabbath, but i had, i had work i had to complete yesterday. so i was walking from church and i went to my office. i have came around the corner and i forgot there was a pro-israel parade happening. i walked right into this crowd yesterday. i should have known something was going on. when i saw the dump trucks and i couldn't figure them out. this is a picture that i took. the dutch trucks are full of sand. they had the cher hi picker for some unknown reason and there was police everywhere. on every single street. there were like choke points and almost check points. so people could come in and support israel. then there were anti-israel propaganda. they were ultra orthodox jews. i'm putting together the restoring

i'm bret baier. this is a fox news alert. democratic new york congressman anthony weiner today tearfully admitted lying about scand louse communication with his women other than his wife but was adamant about not resigning. still, the democratic leader of the house is already calling for an ethics investigation. weiner held a news conference two hours ago. senior correspondent eric shawn was there. good evening, eric. >> reporter: good evening, bret. "i lied and i'm not resigning." those are the words of a contrite and tearful congressman anthony weiner. the veteran congressman from brooklyn and keeps, new york, apologizing to his wife and constituents and admitted yes, he did send the racy tweet to the 21-year-old student in seattle and much more. and said through the years before and after his marriage he has had what he called inappropriate explicit contact of communication, not physical. never met with the women. but with six women through the years. some of them are coming forward. one is a middle aged nevada woman who s

this at work, or, worse, in your office, even the interviews he granted last week including with bret baiero deny these allegations again in his office. >>guest: you are right if he is doing it on his own right, okay, he is a creep but if he is doing it on company time, if you will, on the clock with government resources, we paid to put him in office, he is getting a salary and supposed to spend his time to represent the people that elected him, and, instead, if he is sitting in his office kicking his seat on his desk and having lewd conversations, that is certainly not putting forward the political front this we would like, that upstanding people and they take their responsibility seriously and they are working hard to change things for us and this is possible that there are other things he was doing. did he divert the resources paid for by taxpayers for personal business? dirty personal business. who wants to think about this guy with his nasty text, and someone would just got married which makes it so much worse. >>neil: it is a mess. thank you. and nancy pelosi is not calling for the co

when he called in reporters, including bret baier, last week from five different networks, into his office to conduct these interviews and then deny t. is that in itself a violation? >> well, you know, it's an amorphous standard, the manner that reflects credibly on the house but this does not reflect credibly on the house. he lied. he was known before this incident as being aggressive and hectoring and nasty and mean and not a likable guy, so you'll see very few stepping forward, nobody in the congress stepping forward and trying to make exculpatory statements on him. does this reflect badly on the house, that's for the members to making and the members' leadership to make. this guy might be able to survive. what's interesting is his district is -- president omabacare he'd it 55-44, that means this district could be in play if the congressman attempts to run for reelection. he could face a challenge in the primary and he could face a challenge in the general election and he's stubborn enough and has a big enough ego, in all likelihood i wouldn't be surprised to see him trying to hang on a

for their party who lied for ten days, using his office, using his staff, inviting people like bret baierhis office, to lie to their face, and essentially lie to the world, for ten days, about what he had done wrong. in fact, even in his so called apology yesterday, he lied if when -- lied in that, saying sending the picture to the woman out here in seattle was a joke. well, we all know that wasn't a joke. so nancy pelosi and harry reid are showing very clearly that they have wide lat feud in terms of what is bee fitting conduct of somebody in their party. martha: or you could look at it as they're starting the ball rolling in what will be a multi-stage process that perhaps they expect will reach the conclusions that you're talking about and they want him to have the fair process of going through that. this is the first step, according to our capitol hill producers, in this process. the next thing to watch for is whether the ethics committee will impanel an investigative subcommittee on this to probe him. would you expect that they will do that? >> i think there will be tremendous pressur

coming up a little bit later from 9:00 to noon, bret baier, andrea tantaros and dominick from pakistan for three hours. >> did you know that apple is about to unveil its latest creation? founder steve jobs is expected to make the announcement from the worldwide developers conference in san francisco today. >> that's where we find "fox & friends" weekend anchor clayton morris. clayton, this is big news that steve jobs is going to come back to work for one day to talk about the big new doings there. >> yeah, and that explains, steve, why all of these people, this apple faithful, hundreds of people are already in line. it's 3:30 in the morning out here in san francisco. they've been camped out here all night. these are developers and all the guys that make the applications that run on all of these devices. they've been camped out here because they want to get a prime seat at the keynote a little later this morning. what's going to be unveiled? it's a bit of a mystery this time. usually i can stand up here and say we're going to see a new iphone and new ipad. this has been one of the most

bret baier says i found -- i talked to somebody who is very familiar with twitter and says they could find out in five minutes who went into your account and who sent this. how dare you do that? you got to be kidding me. >> you remember the original accusation is the account had been hacked. when he found out that falsely accusing somebody of hacking your account is a federal crime, the terminology changed to prank but then -- and his explanation yesterday was as many people who are involved in cover-ups, i didn't want to disappoint my wife and my family and i was trying to keep them out of there. will there be an investigation now? remember when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house she made the call for having the cleanest congress ever. some people call that into question when she was actually speaker but she stepped up to the plate immediately yesterday and said this. i'm deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation for anthony's wife, his family, his staff and his constituents. iep calling for an ethics committee investigation to determine whether any official resources
