>> senator jay rockefeller is leading the charge.ournalists from ruppert mert murdoch's papers me targeted americans and they may have involved victims of september 11th. as of now, mr. murdoch is under intense pressure on both sides of the atlantic. as he faces the investigative music in britain, critical mass builds to look into the actions of rupert murdoch's companies in the u.s. several lawmakers are calling for investigations into whether murdoch's tabloids hacked the phones of americans. powerful senator jay rockefeller is leading that charge. he's especially concerned over reports that 9/11 victims' phones were hacked and told cnn his bet is they'll find, quote, criminal stuff. i caught up with rockefeller. >> you know the department of justice and all kinds of other federal agencies are going to be going after this very hard, and we will, too. i mean, this is a -- it's really repugnant, you know, that one man can control so many. >> reporter: do you have specific information that americans that 9/11 victims had their phones

and barbara boxer and jay rockefeller are calling on member of the dow jones and company special committee take a closer look at news corp.'s senior executives. in their letter they wrote the american people need to be assured this type of misconduct hasn't occurred in the united states and the senior executives in our country were not aware of or complicit in any wrong doing. while rupert murdoch insists that he has no knowledge of wrongdoing here in the states, he's making the moves of someone who needs serious legal help. in addition to hiring three public relations giants in the last week, the "new york times" reports news corp. has hired brendan sullivan jr., one of the most-accomplished criminal defense lawyers in the country, joining me now, one of the senators calling for a closer look into news corp.'s u.s. practices, california senator, barbara boxer, thanks for joining me tonight, senator. >> thanks for having me on the show. >> senator, what has provoked your interest specifically, and why direct your letter to dow jones? >> well, here's where we are, lawrence, at this point. w

the other big story making news here is that the senate commerce committee chairman jay rockefeller isor an investigation saying, look, if "news of the world" was hacking u.s. citizens and 9/11 victims. he says this should be taken seriously and there should be an investigation. the big topic on that is how much is it going to affect rupert murdoch's empire in the u.s. as well? >> costing a lot of money in the stock. cost the stock about 14%, more than $7 billion since this really thickened about a week ago. let's talk about this former survivor producer facing expedition to mexico on a charge he murdered his wife. >> right. a judge basically said there was enough evidence to send him back to mexico to face trial, right? he was believed to have murdered his wife in cancun when they were on holiday with their two kids. so what's going to happen now is he's going to appeal, and if that's successful, he'll stay in the u.s. for a year. but they want him to go face trial. the judge says there's enough to nail him. >> talk to me, zain, about this euro millions jackpot winner. somebody has wo

the sanitary referred to is jay rockefeller, a democrat. he is the chairman of the commerce committee in the senate. he has put out a statement saying, "the hacking is offensive. a serious breach of a journalistic ethics. this raises serious questions of whether the company has broken u.s. law. i call upon the appropriate agencies to investigate to ensure americans have not have their privacy violated. i am concerned about the phone hacking and that it may have extended to 9/11 victims or other americans. the consequences will be severe." mr. rockefeller does not present any evidence to prove that the victims on 9/11 had their voice- mail sacked. it is something that and has been reported. it is causing concern to him. he is calling for an investigation by the justice department. >> reflecting continuing -- anxiety about the debt crisis. the international crating -- credit rating agency moody's has downgraded it to junk status. it also has increased fears that italy could follow greece and portugal and struggling to deal with this public de

i teamed up with senator jay rockefeller who is chairman of the commerce committee. i am a senior member of that committee. we have jurisdiction over broadcasters and the media as a whole. we rode to the securities and exchange commission and to the department of -- wrote to the securities and exchange commission and to the department of justice asking them to look specifically into the possibility that two american laws were broken. one, the foreign practices correction act and secondly, the so-called wiretap act. any american corp. has to comply with these laws. rupert murdoch decided he wanted to become an american citizen. i do not blame him. america is the greatest place in the world, i say to you. the fact of the world is, he became an american citizen. his corporation is american. he needs to obey american law. the stories coming out of europe about bribing police officials, on its face, that is not allowed under the foreign corrupt practices act. the allegations that he may have packed into families of the victims of 9/11, -- hacked into families of the victi

virginia senator jay rockefeller wants a government investigation of newscorp's operations in the u.s. murdoch presides over a $32 billion media and entertainment empire. it owns prestigious names like hollywood film studio 20th century fox, fox news channel, the "wall street journal," the "new york post" and many british newspapers, including the "sunday times." joining us now, porter bibb, managing partner of media tech capital, a media investment firm in new york. >> susie: hi, porter, nice to have you with us. >> great to be here, susie. >> porter, it cements like every other day there's an announcement of a business or merger or take over that the news corp is abandoning. how is this saga going to play out in just a matter of time before news corp breaks >> well i don't think news corp itself is going to be broken up or even slowed down very much by the tsunami of social public outcry, political outcry and probably legal outcry that is being launched against some of the managers from rupert murdoch on down who have created a kind of unethical culture at news corp. >> susie: well,

senator jay rockefeller wants to know if u.s.izens fell victim to sleazy or illegal news gathering so he is calling for an investigation amid reports that victims of the 9/11 attacks are among the nearly 4,000 people who had their phones hacked. the outrage is crushing. over the past week, the media giant has lost nearly $7 billion in market value. and the political damage is mounting. today, britain's prime minister meets with the family of a murdered little girl after a murdoch newspaper allegedly hacked her cell phone to gain an edge on that story. actor hugh grant who is both a vocal critic of murdoch and a frequent target of him explains why all of us in the u.s. should even care. >> rupert murdoch does own an enormous amount of your media with fox news and the fox station and 20th century fox pictures and et cetera. and some of your newspapers. i think people need to ask themselves, you know, who is this man who owns such a large part of our media and i think, you know, when you hear some of new allegations about who the "n

homeland security committee chairman peter king and the senate intelligence committee member jay rockefeller. >> you know the department of justice and all kinds of other federal agencies will be going after this very hard, and we will too. >> question, democratic senator robert menendez has called for the justice department to probe allegations that a murdoch newspaper propose hacking the cell phones of 9/11 victims' families. how incendiary is that allegation? >> well, if it's true, it certainly incendiary and the hacking has actually delegitimized his company. he was forced to -- in a very gutsy move to shut down the major newspaper, news of the world, and he's now being investigated by as many parliamentary committees as possible. they've stopped a major transaction he's been working on to take a hundred percent chrome of bskyb, which is a major cable company in england some it's amazing to me how fast this has happened for a man who is really the premiere media baron in the world, who has run into an overwhelming number of attacks on his company and on the failure of the company to shal

now, both the chairman of the homeland security committee here in the states, peter king, and jay rockefeller, have called for an investigation on the phone hacking. if this comes over to the states, will the fcc have a role in looking at the security of cell phones? >> guest: if there is wiretapping going on anywhere for any reason by anybody, that's illegal. it's a criminal matter. law enforcement agencies would be the best to be cast to looking into it. certainly congress can do its own investigation as well. if there's a violation of an fcc rule, then we should look at it. right now we don't and evidence of any wrongdoing by anybody regarding recent headlines that i know of. but should evidence be presented and it's within our jurisdiction certainly we should. >> host: do you agree with congress there should be an investigation? >> guest: i don't tell can't is what to do. if there are members of congress to launch an investigation, they are free to conduct their own and the commission should abide by its own processes. and if there's evidence of wrongdoing by anybody, any company for anyt

now, both the chairman of the homeland security committee here in the states, peter king, and jay rockefeller, commerce committee chair have called for an investigation of in the phone hacking. if it comes over, will they look at the security of cell phone? >> if there is wiretapping my anybody for any reason, it's a criminal matter. law enforcement would be the best to be tasked with looking into it. congress can do it's own investigation as well. if there's a violation of an fcc rule, then we should look at it right now. we don't have any evidence of any wrongdoing by anybody, regarding recent headlines, that i know of. should evidence be presented after the jurisdiction, certainly we should examine it. >> do you agree with the congress? >> i subscribe to the notion that congress tells me what to do. i don't tell congress what to do. if there was members of congress that want an investigation, they are free to conduct their own. the commission should abide by it's own processes. if there's evidence of wrongdoing by anybody, any company, for anything, we should look at it in due course. >> a

now the scandal is threatening the western wing of the murdoch empire is low democrat senator jay rockefeller of the insidious rockefeller banking cartel has been stalking us put around the senate floor and anger there's speculation that the phones of nine eleven victims were also hacked by news corp own ellis and about half a dozen senators and congressman have joined in calling for a formal investigation as he said quote i am concerned that the admitted phone hacking in london by the news by the news corp may have extended to nine eleven victims or other americans if they did the consequences will be severe that process is already started the f.b.i. announced today that they will be conducting an investigation both into companies held by murdoch in the united states as well as england but what constitutes severe for a corporate empire slap on the wrist a fine a bailout i may never take the side of a rockefeller again but go get mr rockefeller so why is murdoch smiling all creepy like oh it's because while news of the world former employees were filing for unemployment and others at murdoch'

i mean today is no allegation either well actually no today we had a democrat jay rockefeller blogged about it and steve king a republican from iowa but with called for an investigation into into what's going on with the murdoch empire here in the united states they were calling for an investigation into fox news the wall street journal and going to new york post no i can't imagine because there's no evidence in the public dole that's because there's been no indication long so so you need to investigate somebody without any evidence that this is the wrong stuff in the u.k. it's it happened ten years ago the guy who's running the u.s. a program testified before parliament under oath it was one bad apple private investigator that they had hired and one reporter associate with him they had fired him years ago when he had to report you know if there were if we should listen with to. scotland yard when he had a report that said all i know there's a whole bunch of people you know in your employ doing this and this guy perjured himself i mean i think so your honor i would say if there's a re

investigation into murdoch's news corp here in the states senator jay rockefeller and frank lautenberg have both raise a very fair point at the u.k. news outlets had no fear of dabbling in illegal activity it's what's to stop the u.s. branches of news corp from doing the same thing and in fact that lumbered went on to say further investigation may reveal that current reports. only scratching the surface of the problem at news corp accordingly i am requesting that the d.o.j. and as you see examine these circumstances and determine whether u.s. laws have been violated the families of the victims of nine eleven have also come forward supporting the call for a probe into whether or not murdoch took advantage of the personal information for the sake of a big story so as news corp find itself in the middle of the biggest media scandal in the years i think it's just another sign of the very rapidly changing media the competition beef between news outlets for both profits and stories is so intense the more more seem willing to risk their reputation just to be the first ones behind a scoop. i t

senator, jay rockefeller as well, and there is not confined to the uk now. >> the whole reason this broke is because of the voice mail that was hacked, the voice mail that belonged to a 13-year-old girl. her family met with the prime minister and their lawyer was there as well. he spoke publicly after the meeting. i want to play what he said and then ask you something about that. >> on behalf of milly, and behalf of all the other victims of the unlawful activity of the press, there will not be a full public inquiry for the public, and not a political inquiry for the politicians. >> dan, what more can you tell us, if anything, about this meeting with the prime minister and milly's family and the lawyer? >> reporter: well, i think it sounds like it went fairly well. they have been meeting with the deputy prime minister in the past few days. their whole point was they wanted to make sure what happened to their daughter will never happen again, and therefore they are very much behind the public inquiry, which is going to go ahead later this year. and i think they were just flabbergasted that

states of senate majority leader harry reid in nevada, senate transportation committee chairman, jay rockefeller west virginia, and max baucus in montana, all three are, of course, democrats. according to the associated press, mica acknowledges that he inserted the airport language into the extension bill partly as a means to send the senate a message that we want this finally resolved. instead, thousands of public and private sector workers are now unemployed, small town airports are suffering, and big airports aren't getting any safer. all because republicans who want to make it harder for workers to unionize. congressman mica also opposed the faa's move earlier this year to add more air traffic controllers on light night shift after some of them fell asleep on duty. >>> coming up, fox news pulls behind the scenes video from the website after contributors are caught saying they don't want to cover the news corp. phone hacking scandal. that's in tonight's rewrite. and later, the new poll from the pew research center shows the median income of a white household is now 18 times more than a hispan

the fbi is responding to angry lawmakers like senator jay rockefeller who issued this statement -- quotereported hacking any news corporation newspapers against a range of individuals including children is offensive and a serious breach of journalistic ethics. this raises serious questions about whether the company has broken u.s. law. and i encourage the appropriate agencies to investigate to ensure that americans have not had their privacy violated. howard kurtz is host of "reliable source" which airs every sunday morning. howard, the u.s. audience may not be too familiar with "news of the world." could this change their perception of other news corp. properties like fox news, "the wall street journal," the ""new york post"" if 9/11 victims and their families are involved in this scandal? >> that would make things more dramatic. the fbi is conducting a preliminary inquiry under some pressure from politicians, as you noted. it may well be that "news of the world" was going after 9/11 victims because the tabloid thought it would be a great story. but we shouldn't make the leap and say th

. >> senator jay rockefeller says my bet is we'll find criminal stuff here. you share that view? >> well, i don't want to jump to conclusions, john, but i do want a vigorous review. i see there are some published reports that the fbi is in fact pursuing a review to determine whether a full investigation is necessary. i welcome that. that's what i asked the justice department to do. om of us that come from the new york, new jersey area, we lost several citizens on that fateful day. he's joined in similar call. he understands the fwreef of these families. i'm glad to see that together we can get to the bottom of this. >> you asked the prime minister's office for help, to share any information that comes to your attention in the british inquiry. you've had tensions with the uk over the lockerbie bombing in the past. have you received assurances of full cooperation. >> i haven't had a chance to see a response to my letter to mr. cameron, just sent out today. i suspect we're in common cause for this. we want to make sure the citizens are preserved and the victims of september 11th whe

reporter: there is now a suggestion that this has gone sort of stateside as well with senator jay rockefelleraying if there is any evidence that these international papers or murdoch papers hacked into the voicemails of 9/11 victims that it would be taken very seriously. that has been one allegation, not proven yet, but it shows how this scandal keeps growing. >> dan, thank you. >>> severe summer heat is gripping a huge trunk of the country. our rob marciano has some of the steamy details. he's live in piedmont park. hi, rob. whoa. it is just steaming out there. it's supposed to be hot in july, but this is pretty brutal, rob. >> well, the consistency of it and the amount of moisture that's in the air has really made it exceptionally brutal from the northeast all the way down to the southern plains. that oppressive nature of this heat wave has really made it just terribly uncomfortable for a lot of people, and the economic impact of this thing has been huge as well. just about everywhere across the south, especially, things are cooking. yes, it's hot enough to fry an egg. it's so hot it even b

majority leader reid and chairman jay rockefeller have told house leaders that a shutdown is likely unless a clean extension can be passed. the senate is hotlining a clean extension today which i will go to next. there are no objections to this clean extension on the democratic side but we do expect an objection from the republican side. i want to tell you that the request that i make for this extension, this clean extension, is in the name of chairman jay rockefeller from your state of west virginia. this is a sad commentary on the political state of affairs in congress today. mr. president, this is the 21st extension of this authorization. how could we probably explain to america that we have been unable so many times to extend this authorization for something so critical to our commerce and our economy? but now we are facing the most serious challenge we've ever had when it comes to this extension and that is the expiration of it this evening, a direct impact on the people who work for the f.a.a. and a direct impact on their operations. now, i might add very quickly, to give peace of mi

here is senator jay rockefeller. >> it's really repugnant that one man can control so many. people in the parliament, i watched the parliament debate on television. they were talking about how they control the labor party, but then when they go out, they control the conservative party. so it's all about that, and that's bad for the world. it's certainly bad for america. and we have enough problems getting objective media. >>> and here is what senator frank lautenberg wrote in the letter to attorney general eric holder. "accordingly, i am requesting that doj and the s.e.c. examine these circumstances and determine whether u.s. laws have been violated." in the uk, where the outcry is much, much -- very much so the loudest here, this morning murdoch dropped his bid for britain's bskyb television company. listen to how hot the discussion got in britain's house of commons. >> there is a firestorm, if you like, that is engulfing parts of the media, parts of the police, and indeed our political system's ability to respond. and what we must do in the coming days and weeks is think a

now as you say, with senator jay rockefeller also getting interested in this in the states as well, this story, it's an international story. it's a u.s. story as well because, of course, rupert murdock has interests all around the place, not just here, he's got "the wall street journal," fox news, "new york post" to name but a few. >> i want to ask you this. you mentioned rupert murdock and his son not being british citizens can't be forced to testify before parliament. what is the outcome if they do? in the united states we have a lot of people called to testify before congress, subpoenaed, they have to go. but it's unclear unless you lie to congress, what the consequences are of that. are there really consequences to this editor in chief being called before parliament? >> well, it's tricky. i mean for a british citizen, if you are sort of caught kind of lying to one of these committees you can be held in sort of contempt of parliament. it's kind of murky. it's not a court. they can't imprison you. i don't think there has been any modern example of that happening. in the old days, of co

senator jay rockefeller says he's going to introduce legislation to ban or party fees and the fcc estimates that as many as 20 million american households have unauthorized feeds on their month play phone bills every year and said it too is considering new rules to protect consumers. this is about an hour and a half. >> today's hearing is about a scam that is caused telephone customers billions of dollars. all of you at the witness table are aware of this in various ways. and it is called unauthorized charges. the telephone company could have bought the if you if you want to buy dish tv. that's not the race charge. but a great percentage three charges, but phone companies to let them appear on the bill. what happens is they appear at the bill and the person who doesn't necessarily carefully weeded out, which is often four or five pages long sees this thing and doesn't know what it is. but they didn't ask for it, didn't want it, not upgrades to be fair. legally it should not be fair, but it is there. and it is called cramming. and it refers to what we call mysterious charges that appear in a

costello, chairman mica, subcommittee chairman petri, my senior senator, jay rockefeller in the other body and his ranking member, kay bailey hutchison, for the tremendous efforts they have put in this legislation and so much other legislation. important for our infrastructure in this country. i recognize those in the majority side that will their heart is in the right place, perhaps those whose pay grade is above them have different opinions and different agendas on this legislation and perhaps that's the reason why we need to appoint conferees as the other body has done and move forward and let the normal process work its will on this legislation. but instead we are here to consider the 21st short-term extension of the pay-per-view frams and authority. and the fourth short-term extension of this congress as our chairman just stated. 21 extensions, it's now old enough to drink. instead of celebrating, however, this should give all cause for concern. this past saturday marked the 100th day since the senate appointed conferees on a long-term f.a.a. re-authorization. the sun has risen a
