this morning the ceo of health care trust of america which is celebrating its listing on the new york stock exchange. stories we are watching right now. anger grows on capitol hill about potential intelligence leaks. >> an avalanche of leaks. and it's very, very disturbing. >> senator dianne feinstein says the leaks are putting lives in jeopardy. don't expect to see a romney bush ticket this call. former florida governor says under no circumstances would he be mitt romney's running mate. let's talk more about the leaks. republicans accuse the obama administration of putting classified information out there for gain. the white house denies it. maria's politics lean left and will leans right. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> i wasn't very polite. >> you are always polite. >> republicans are saying that the obama administration is leaking these secrets about their drone program for political gain. do they have a case? >> it is definitely worth a question. i don't know about making a case but it is worth a question. it seems to be a bipartisan question. you just played a clip. we can add up the list and it is getting long. you are talking about president obama's kill list with the drone list of terrorist targets and talking about the iranian cyber attacks and the level of detail involved. you can go back to the osama bin laden raid which had a lot of detail in it and the double agent story. that is four stories with a great amount of detail. we should be very concerned about why that information is getting out. if it is some kind of painting president obama in a positive light you are at least worth asking questions. >> senator feinstein does not believe these leaks are coming from the white house. >> all i said is it is worthy of questions. >> i agree with will in that it is worth the question where i think the republicans is going way overboard is that they are already accusing the white house of having done this on purpose and having authorized those leaks. i think that goes way beyond. i think we should all put on the table or at least i believe that democratic as well as republican administrations take classified information and security of our national interests and our assets of our troops very, very seriously. to accuse this of being done on purpose is way over the point. i believe the question has to be asked. >> so let's talk about it from a journalistic standpoint. isn't it fair also, doesn't the public have a right to know that this drone program is going on? it does have moral implications. isn't it something that the public ought to know about? >> this is never an easy question to answer. we have to balance national security interests against those with the public being fully informed. i enjoy reading the details of the stories about the cyber attack is absolutely fascinating. it is not just enjoyment but useful knowledge for me to know some of these things. you have to balance that against national security. what that does to jeopardize the program and i'm not sure those are being struck right right now. >> the obama administration is investigating and the fbi has launched an investigation. it is not like the obama administration isn't aware. >> of course. they read the papers, too, and they have also said that they have shared in some of these briefings some of the scenarios that have happened. but they have been very clear. and i believe them on this that in none of that has there been an authorized leak of classified information. and i think that is key. i agree with will that this is always the balance of a robust democracy where you balance the people's right to know about what their government is doing along with the national security interests. i think that that is always a healthy debate to have. i would like to point out that the reporters themselves have said that none of this information has come from either the white house or top democratic officials. a lot of it has been because of the worm actually went public. we have to be clear about what has been said and leaked and where there are questions we should ask those questions. >> there is an article this morning defending itself against dianne feinstein's charges. i'm going to read you a paragraph from that article. the obama administration's has been -- usually on the condition of an nemity. mr. obama spoke about the strikes in pakistan in january arguing they were aimed at al qaeda. so it seems as if the obama administration at least wants something known about the drone program. it makes no bones about it but says we have to stop these leaks. >> again, i think that points to the balance that i think will and i are talking about. let's be very clear. none of that was classified information that either the president was talking about or either the white house or top administration officials. if there is a consistency that needs to be fixed. if there are leaks going on that is the question and that is the investigation that needs to be had. but to go overboard and accuse the administration of doing this on purpose for political gain is beyond the pail. >> i'm going to pivot and end the conversation with something we probably can agree on. all three of us maybe. >> a great thursday. >> so bill press wants to ditch "the star spangled banner." he calls it an abomination and the lyrics are stupid, too. >> i will tell you this. he can say it is a hard song to sing. to say the lyrics are stupid. he talks about the fact the lyrics include home of the free. it is jinglistic. says we are the home of the brave. he wants it to say we are home of some of the brave. big deal. >> it's written during the war of 1812. >> i completely agree. i think francis scott key is turning in his grave right now. i think most americans believe bill press needs to get another cause if this is a cause he is going to be on right now. there are other songs that americans have talked about that could be our national anthem like mitt romney would like that one. this land is your land. i think most americans agree that the star spangled banner hits the nail on the head in terms of patriotism and how great this country is. >> maria is not a liberal moon bat. >> absolutely not. i'm rational. >> i love the assumption in that statement, though. >> no assumption. it was just a joke. >> we are trying to get ahold of bill press and ask him specifically. >> that will be interesting. >> thank you so much for an interesting conversation this morning. >> thank you. we usually only saw her under the cover of a veil but now michael jackson's daughter, paris, is opening up about life with her superstar father in an effort to make sure his

need the epa consider the 17 million people living in the chesapeake bay water shed. their livelihoods are in danger because the bay is in critical condition. here is cnn suthenna jones. >> reporter: the largest estuary in north america. it's home to more than 3,700 species of plants and animals including crabs and oysters and it is in trouble. conservationists say pollution from farms, wastewater treatment facilities, storm water runoff and power plants including parts of six states and the nation's capitol is slowly killing the bay. >> what happens is too much pollution causes an explosion of algae. when the algae die they decompose and use up oxygen in the water. when you have no oxygen you have dead zones that kill fish, oysters and crabs. >> reporter: warm waters fuel the growth of the dead zones during the summer threatening an important economic region for the region. >> a dead chesapeake bay means unhealthy sea food. it means the lack of revenues from all the areas that the bay generates. >> reporter: we road out to take a closer look. >> we are going to head where the water is about 30 feet deep. that's where we are seeing a lot of really bad water the other day. >> reporter: and measured oxygen levels in the water. >> most critters like five parts per or greater. this in and of itself is not a good reading. odds are good there is not a lot of fish. >> reporter: can anything survive down there? not. >> not well. >> reporter: the readings were poor all the way up to the surface. in an effort to improve the environmental protection by 2017. the program has born fruit, according to epa administrator lisa jackson who we spoke to in washington. one of the most polluted rivers running in the chesapeake. >> progress has been steady, but not fast enough. now is not the time to quit. we are so close to turning that corner. it's going to require all of us, federal government, state partners, local and county government, municipalities, all alike to keep putting in our share. >> meeting the ep a's goals will cost billions of dollars. while some federal help is available, those funds won't kofrt whole bill. failure to meet the targets could mean tougher factory regulations and stricter regulations for farmers, who the epa says are the biggest contributors to the river's pollution. some say the plan will kill jobs. >> this approach is too heavy-handed and will cost people in this watershed significantly. >> reporter: don parrish says farmers cut back on fertilizers and created buffer zones to produce run-off. >> farmers want that cleaner bay. from their standpoint they are already on a razor's edge. if you push this envelope, it could have a significant impact on the ability for farms to operate. >> reporter: we are out here on the chesapeake bay. the stakes here are high. this is a body of water that pumps billions and billions of dollars into the local economies each year. in maryland, one of the big industries here is seafood. that's one bright spot. the crab population is beginning to rebound, according to the state. oysters are a different story. they are beginning to recover but have a long way to go. healthy oyster beds are important because they attract fish. fish like rockfish and sea trout. >> funny how your views change. my home is in baltimore and i live near the chesapeake bay. your views change. you want it to be cleaned up. when you talk about more regulations, it's a dirty word. when you talk about money, you know the economy is bad. is there really a way out? >> the farm bureau brought this lawsuit against the epa trying to block this plan. the epa is committed to this for the long haul. it's too important to stop. whatever happens with this lawsuit, you can guarantee they are going to keep battling it out. one of the big issues is the cost of this. it's going to cost lots and lots of money for the farmers, forsewage treatment facilities to do upgrades. all sorts of ways they are trying to tackle this. it's going to cost money. there are millions of dollars available through the federal government. farmers argue and national association of home builders who also joined on with that lawsuit, they argued these costs are being taken into consideration. it's going to cost a lot more than money available from the state and government. >> athena jones live from the chesapeake

it's been this battle about regulating that. 38 states have laws that ban texting while driving. a smaller number, about 31, restrict cell phone use for new drivers so there's a real tension here between safety and also the reach of government. >> the interesting thing about this massachusetts case, there's clear evidence this kid was texting as the accident happened. they managed to pin down the exact time he sent out a text and at the precise moment the accident occurred. you can see what happened. he's looking down and hits the car and kills that man in his 50s. you heard his family. i was so sad. the federal government are going to have this press conference. what will they announce? what will they say? >> they are short on details in terms of telling us what they are going to do. this has been a priority of ray lahood the transportation secretary, something he is very involved in. one thing they've done is a lot of these new cars come with built-in systems where you can operate your phone by remote or talk to the car. they had manufacturers agree voluntarily to do things like turn those off when the car is moving. there is really attention about how far the federal government will go here. whether this is akin to drunk driving. they were framed as a public health issue. that's how the transportation department has seen this. people say this is an unfair government intrusion and others say this is incredibly dangerous behavior. we should treat it like a public health issue and treat it like drunk driving. right now they are pushing states that have the ability to withhold money. that may be the way they try to push states to act the way they want them to. >> i know the press conference is going on now and you want to listen so we'll let you go. lizzie o'leary, thank you. a new measure of the economy, the government's number cruncher say unemployment fell slightly last week. 377,000 americans are filing first-time claims. that's 12,000 fewer than the week before. recent concerns about the job market prompted federal reserve officials to say they are ready to take more action on the sagging u.s. economy. right now the head of the federal reserve ben bernanke -- that's not him yet -- but he's back on capitol hill. where law makers are expected to grill bernanke on the state of the economy. wall street will be paying close attention to the fed chief's comments just one day after stocks posted their best gains of the year. felicia taylor joins me from the new york stock exchange. what exactly can the fed do? >> there are plenty of things the federal reserve can do. it's not going to happen today because this is merely testimony in front of congress on capitol hill as to where the economy stands right now. it is a peek into what bernanke is thinking. they are expecting to hear some kind of information that will hint that there could be another round of stimulus. what that could be is an extension of what we have now, which is operation twist, which is expected to end at the end of this month, at the end of june or could initiate a completely other round of quantitative easing. this would be the third round we've seen. we heard federal reserve bank presidents hint at the idea that there is room for this kind of thing. that means they are worried that the growth down the road just isn't there, especially after that dismal number we got last friday on jobs growth. however, today's number was okay in terms of the number fewer people filing for claims. nevertheless it's not a trend in the right direction. we are hoping to hear some word from him. the action wouldn't take place possibly until the end of this month or in august. >> i want you to translate from financial speak to plain old english and tell me why this might matter to all of us. >> the reason that it matters, the more money that is put into in terms of this stimulus program, the more it should encourage people to possibly borrow more, to feel like there is stimulus out there for banks to lend more. it's meant to encourage people to get back into the marketplace, to feel that there is a reason to be in the marketplace and not be sitting on the sidelines which is what happened up till now. the flip side to this argument, and this is where there are a lot of people that are against this idea is that it has not created jobs. that's the most important part for this economy is job growth. a lot of people think it's not the federal reserve any more that can do this but rather the administration in washington. that's what's at crux of this. >> felicia taylor live at the new york stock exchange. let's go overseas to the crisis in syria. reports that the government continues to slaughter civilians. this is one of the less graphic videos posted online supposedly capturing the crackdown by the regime's groups. the man behind the camera was reportedly shot after videotaping these scenes. today the united nations looks at new reports of the massacre. jill doherty is at the state department. >> that is a graphic example of the huge dilemma the united states and other countries are facing right now. the only game in town is that plan by kofi annan who is the joint envoy on syria, and it's failed, obviously, in its first task which is to stop the violence, let alone try to get to any political transition. secretary clinton in istanbul is calling that violence unconscionable and she says assad has to go. >> assad has doubled down on his brutality and duplicity. syria will not, cannot be peaceful, stable or certainly democratic untille assad goes. >> how do you do that? they've been working with sanctions. secretary clinton says sanctions are good, but realistically you have to plan for a post assad syria. one of the key countries is russia and it is not clear whether the russians really would go along with something that would lead to a post assad syria. they say it has to be the syrians who decide. secretary clinton is now saying we will work with any country as long as the main point is ultimately assad has to be out of the picture. >> jill doherty live for us this morning. a question chilling and deadly serious. is somebody putting politics and your safety ahead of the well l investigation and whether the white house is behind them. leaders of the party is voicing grave concerns about the amount of secret information now being made public. >> an avalanche of leaks. it's very, very disturbing. it's dismayed our allies. it puts american lives in jeopardy. it puts our nation's security in jeopardy. if you look at terrorism, intelligence is fundamental to knowing what's going to happen and prevent it from happening in the first place. >> short time ago we confirmed that senator feinstein is taking her concerns to the top of the food chain. this morning she is meeting with the director of national intelligence james clapper. we'll keep you posted. we know him as the greatest. luis vuitton is hoping that muhammed ali will be a boost to their bottom line. they are featured in the ad for this upcoming luxury line. it featured michael gorbachev and angelina jolie. ♪ [ male announcer ] we believe in thinking day and night... about your dog's nutrition. like the dual-defense antioxidants in our food that work around the clock... supporting your dog's immune system on the inside... while helping to keep his skin and coat healthy on the outside. with this kind of thinking going into our food... imagine all the goodness that can come out of it. just one way we're making the world a better place... one pet at a time. purina one smartblend. 14 minutes past the hour. if you're flying a small plane don't do it when the president is nearby. an f-16 fighter jet intercepted a small private plane after it entered restricted air space for president obama's fund-raising trip to los angeles last night. they followed the cessna till it landed without incident in camarillo, california. you want an aisle or window seat?

"the home of the brave?" i don't know. >> i get that part of it. >> are we the only ones that are brave on the planet? all the brave people live here. i mean, it's just stupid. i'm embarrassed every time -- embarrassed every time i hear it. >> bill press joins us by phone. bill, welcome. >> hi, carol. >> so i've been reading some of the comments about you online. the nicest i could find was liberal moonbat. >> well, i just want you to know breaking news here, conservative talk show host neal borst tweeted out this morning he agrees 100% with me. i don't think this is a partisan thing at all or left/right thing. first of all, this got started, real quickly, this got started when "60 minutes" took a poll and most americans said bruce springsteen should be the one chosen to write a new national anthem. i chimed in and said let's agree we need a new national anthem because the "star-spangled banner" is unsingable and is an old drinking song. i suggested we have "god bless america" or "america the beautiful." >> many americans agree it is a difficult song to sing. when you talked about the lyrics what's wrong saying americans are brave? it's not saying everyone else is a whimp or loser. >> i don't think it's the most well-written song. bombs bursting in air. for my taste, it's too militaristic. again, we have better alternati alternatives. "my country 'tis of thee" when it says "let freedom ring from every mountainside" that gets my patriotic juices going. same thing with "america the beautiful." i hear the ray charles version, i'll take that any day. >> a lot of people feel that way about the "star-spangled banner" and i must admit i start to cry. bombs and rockets, americans were defending themselves from attack. brits burned down the white house. they came in the waters outside ft. mchenry and the brave men inside ft. mchenry chased them back to britain. >> that was a proud moment, which resulted, in my opinion, in a bad song that was adopted -- it's not like -- carol, it's not like the "star-spangleled banner" goes back to the constitution or founding fathers, right? it's only been our national anthem since 1931. there is nothing sacred about it. i love my country and would love et better if we had a national anthem we could all sing without having to screech and try to stretch for two octaves which most people can't. >> when whitney houston sang it it was beautiful. >> when roseanne barr sang it? >> i'd rather forget that. people are accusing you of not being patriotic. >> as i say, there is nothing sacred or patriotic about "the star-spangled banner." i'm not talking about burning my flag. i love my country. i would love it a lot more if we had a national anthem we could all join hands and sing. >> bill press thank you for being on this morning. >> thanks. we want to know what you think. what do you think of bill press's crusade against the "star-spangled banner?" nancy pelosi waxing nostalgic about george w. bush? say what? we'll run that by our political buzz panel. great shot. how did the nba become the hottest league on the planet? by building on the cisco intelligent network they're able to serve up live video, and instant replays, creating fans from berlin to beijing. what can we help you build? nice shot kid. the nba around the world built by the only company that could. cisco. cause we want to show them something new. you ready? let's go. walmart can now convert your favorite dvds from disc to digital. no way. if hulk smash disc... it's no big deal. now you'll never break them, scratch them or lose them. we can use that. you'll never break them. so what do you guys think? we love it. it's only two bucks per disc. that's cool. that's the walmart entertainment disc to digital service. bring in your favorite dvds to your local walmart photo center to get started. don't go in there. don't go in there. they don't listen. who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your monthly prescription.

the fbi is investigating leaks of classified information and whether the white house is behind them. even leaders of the president's own party are voicing grave concerns some of that secret information comes from "the new york times." it detailed the use of drones and cyber attacks used to cripple al qaeda and iran's nuclear program. >> i read "the new york times" article and my heart dropped. he wove a tapestry which has an impact that's beyond any single one thing. he's very good at what he does and he spent a year figuring it all out, and he's just one. this is a problem. it's also a problem we have people consulting, they live their life with classified information. they then get a consultancy with your show and another station and talking about information that should not be talked about. we have to take a look at all of this. we have to take a look at the oath of nondisclosure people take. we have to strengthen that. we have to strengthen the investigation within the departments. i think the processes are sloppy. i think they're haphazard. >> this morning, senator feinstein takes up the issue with the director of the national intelligence james clapper. we want to discuss the concerns with scott shane of "the new york times." he's one of the reporters who has exposed some of these latest details. thank you so much for joining us. >> glad to be here. >> is "the new york times" leaking dangerous information? >> of course "the new york times" doesn't leak, "the new york times" reports on the actions of government. i think what i wrote about was the president's counterterrorism record. president obama is running for re-election and we took a hard look at his counterterrorism record. the centerpiece of that has been the drone strikes against al qaeda and pakistan and in yemen. i think in some ways the striking thing about the drone program is that it is still considered officially to be classified. the president and other senior officials, leon panetta, secretary of defense, have spoken about it publically. it's reported constantly in the pakistani press, yemeni press and american press. the strange thing about the fact it is still classified, members of congress are the only ones who can't talk about this in public. so to consider it a leak to talk about that particular program seems rather odd. >> everybody is wondering where you're getting your information and i know you're not going to tell me. they say it's coming from some mole within the obama administration. is it? >> well, my colleague joe becker and i quoted a number of both former and current officials on the record. it's not mysterious where we get that information. it is, in fact, true that reporters can call up american officials and they made the decision to talk about the drone strikes anonymously. >> when senator feinstein says that your reporting is endangering americans, endangering america's mission, is that a fair criticism or not? >> well, certainly in some cases it's certainly conceivable that something that would appear in a newspaper would tip-off a u.s. adversary, for example, to intelligence tools using the identity of agents we infiltrated into a govern government, that type of thing, but i think in general if i talk to american officials, government officials, there is general agreement that too much information is classified. when the 9/11 commission took a look at that issue, they actually concluded that it was excessive secrecy as opposed to leaks that made the u.s. vulnerable to attack by al qaeda in 2001. >> scott shane thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. so does the public have a right to know about the so-called secret information? we are going to ask our political buzz panel to weigh in. mcallen, texas. in here, heavy rental equipment in the middle of nowhere, is always headed somewhere. to give it a sense of direction, at&t created a mobile asset solution to protect and track everything. so every piece of equipment knows where it is, how it's doing or where it goes next. ♪ this is the bell on the cat.

"the new york times" is also getting criticized for recent articles involving national security. so question. how much does the public have a right to know? will. >> the public has a right to know as much as possible up to the extent of that that threatens national security. let me give you an example. what threatens national security is not easily defined. about a week ago a general in south korea, american general suggested the united states special forces troops were parachuting into north korea and spying on north korean nuclear facilities. he later said he misspoke. not that he was misquoted, but he misspoke. if this current story is doing anything like that to threaten national security for political purposes, we need to know. >> pete. >> i agree with the first part of what will said. the question should be what should we not know? the age-old question of a free press during issues at times of war and national security, it's been said oxygen is the information that forms democracy, sunlight is the best disinfectant. i don't think the public needs to know when we are about to launch a raid on bin laden, but certainly the public should know when we are at war with a country like we have been with pakistan for almost 12 years or now in yemen or place necessary south america. the public should know when they are having their phones tapped and e-mails looked at. we should know as much as possible. >> on to question number two. listen to what former house speaker nancy pelosi said about her old nemesis in the executive branch. >> president bush really a lovely man. no, really. we disagreed in terms of policy. >> she was saying that about george w. bush, pelosi, waxing nostalgic about the bush years and praised bush about his cooperation on energy and t.a.r.p. he is the only former president with a favorability rating under 50% but that's ten points better than when he left the white house. is it time for americans to rethink the bush presidency? pete. >> absolutely. americans should rethink the bush presidency almost every day because we are still being really impacted by it all the time. obviously, economically, and of course our national security. americans, i think we forget about what happened during the bush administration. it's good nancy pelosi praises him on what he did for aids in africa which is more than the obama administration is doing, but everybody thinks about iraq but what about hurricane katrina? he created the deficit. his policies. wars weren't paid for, medicare part d weren't paid for. the guy passed a tax cut during a time of war. >> will, save pete from exploding from his body. >> there is a wall between us. i can't save pete from himself. i will say this. americans will think -- you asked when are they going to rethink it? they are rethinking it right now. he's up significantly from when he left office. i would suggest in ten years he will be looked upon more favorably than today. two main reasons. he's an extremely likable guy. secondly, he's conducted himself with a huge amount of respect post presidency. also i would say people recognize he had two big things laid on his plate, 9/11 and the financial collapse. the guy that followed him largely does the same things. >> on foreign policy, yeah. >> let's go to question number three. bill press, a liberal radio host wants to toss out the "star-spangled banner" too hard to sing and too mean with the bursting bombs. francis scott key must be turning over in his grave. if not the "star-spangled banner" what should the national anthem be? >> let me be first. i'm not going to change horses. i stick with tradition. i'm not going to buy into this premise we need to change the "star-spangled banner." it's hard to see, granted. i don't know when we adopted it officially. >> 1930 something. >> thank you, carol. >> pete. >> what should we change it to? maybe i really like that "call me maybe" song. how about something by ted nugent? i got to say i think it's a weird thing for bill press to bring up. we do the same thing, three hours of radio a day. why bring this up? is somebody in an unemployment line going it's the national anthem. >> there was a "vanity fair" poll. >> a poll? but who cares what the national anthem is. all that patriotic porn. i never bought into too much of it any way. >> did you just say patriotic porn?

>> a little bit but there we are looking for particular genetic conditions. it's something we know associated with a typical disorder or disability. with this test where there are hundreds of thousands of genetic mutations, it's unclear whether or not any of them or some of them will have clinical or medical indications. >> so this could tell you if your baby is predisposed to, let's say, some sort of, some childhood cancer that's deadly, then you could make a decision from there. >> right. that certainly is possible. remember even the diseases we know that have a genetic association have a really great variety in presentation, so if you think about something like down syndrome which has a clear genetic connection, there is a great variety in the way that it could be mild to very severe. even if we know exactly what the genetic code says, we don't necessarily know how that's going to manifest in a child, and therefore, how we ought to treat that child. >> the big worry about this if parents go ahead with this test if it becomes available, that they'll decide to terminate their pregnancies more often. >> right. i think there are three things a parent could do when they the question this information. the first is nothing. continue the pregnancy as they were. the second option is to simply prepare themselves for perhaps a child with special needs, learn about what societal resources are available, prepare themselves psychologically for what it would mean to parent a child with such needs. the third option is the right of termination of pregnancy. it's not clear we should assume that is going to happen any more often than the first two options. >> right. it's a fascinating study. i don't know. i'm sure it will be the subject of much discussion to come. thanks for being here today. >> thanks for having me. next, your responses to one of the stories of the day.
