>> i understand why he wouldn't like it because, number one, if you are going to play football you have to be held accountability and held responsible. >> the great lou holts. we will play the rest of it for you. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> hi this is bob eubanks, you are watching "fox & friends" on the weekend. everybody does. >> thank you, bob. >> thank you bob. >> thanks for making us number one. >> what's the strangest place you have ever watched "fox & friends" weekend? >> good morning, tucker carlson, anna kooiman. i'm clayton morris. mario cart. out. >> is it mario. >> i'm from philly, it's mario. >> south philly. >> and lieu luwegee. >> we have news. general eric shinseki we resigned from secretary from the veterans administration. he was pushed. is the administration taking responsibility for the tragedies at the v.a. or is it another example of blame-shifting? >> it seemed odd because the presidents is not one to give into sort of political pressure to fire people. we saw that with kathleen sebelius back in the fall. he said, no, i need to you stick around. i'm not going to it resignation. we need to you stick around. he had to answer that question why is this different? why did you not push kathleen sebelius out so quickly but allowing eric shinseki to walk away. >> this is something the president campaigned on the first time and second time. he told the troops that he was going to take care of them and then what happened? it's been, what, six years and this problem has been festering the entire time. charles krauthammer has he this to say. >> how can a president say on the one hand that the problem with the v.a. the problems, the denial of services, the waits and all this had not reached the highest level, shinseki and thus had not reached the white house when the president himself says i have been working on this for six years. so contradictory. is he listening to his own words? he they were waiting for him to fall on his sword. and i can't imagine that he walked into the oval office and didn't understand that's what he he was being asked to do. obviously he did. he was pushed. there was absolutely no question about that but, it doesn't disguise the fact that this was an elaborate theater that we saw this morning and all the scripts were written in advance. >> elaborate theater. >> he seemed pain. he said it his decision. when asked to fill in undersecretary may step in. >> he said no we need a cultural cleanout at the v.a. >> and by the way we have a candidate vetted and ready to go. three things are clear, one he was obviously fired. two fired because of political pressure from half a dozen democratic senators called for this. they are worried about their re-election. third, does anybody believe that the firing of an elderly general and war hero is actually going to make the v.a. an efficient delivery service of medical care to veterans? >> let me ask you, you are a washington genius down there. i mean, when they do these sort of blood lettings these situations where they get rid of one guy, one person takes the fall for it, does it end up helping? >> it almost never matters, sometimes it does but very rarely does it matter who runs an agency because the people who are there permanently who are going to be there long offer are dead actually run the place. you can't fire anyone in washington. that's why there is never any reform. >> the bottom line is shinseki had become too politically toxic for president obama to allow him to stay there so he had to go. instead of blaming himself and president obama putting shinseki into that leadership position, instead he says it's president bush's fault, it's never my fault. again that worked for him on the campaign trail and everybody was sick of him saying about the economy it's bush's fault. it's bush's fault. it worked for him and he may think it's going to work for him again. in terms of responsibility, as i have said before, this is my dration, i always take responsibility for whatever happens and this is an area that i have a particular concern with. this predates my presidency, when i was in the senate. i was on the veterans affairs committee. i heard firsthand veterans who were not getting the kinds of services and benefits that they had earned. and i pledged that if i had the privilege of serving as commander and chief as president, that we would fix it. the v.a. is a big organization that has had problems for a very long time. >> just sounds like whining to me. i have a no whining policy in my house and my son doesn't take care of it. you know, t. was before my time. i kind of came, in it predates my term there have you been there six years, you are the commander and chief. you have a the lo of power and by the way executive orders have a lot of power and carry a lot of power a the love things could have changed in six years. >> if he has been thinking about it so years or 8 years. why hasn't he reached the obvious conclusion which is maybe government isn't that good at delivering healthcare. why is the v.a. such a mess? spent all this money all this time and congressional committees looking into it and is it still doesn't work. government isn't good at delivering services. so you create obamacare? that's the lesson from this? it's crazy. >> is this a precursor of what we are going to see from obamacare? >> yes it is. >> obamacare, benghazi, the irs. all these things jay carney had to spin. apparently the heat in the kitchen and he had to get out. >> friday departure friday. what was the reason behind him leaving -- the timing behind all of this, too? was it to draw attention away from what's going on at the v.a. >> dan pfeiffer this was a tweet yesterday saying he thinks he has been one of the best press secretaries. the amount of words he has said. not sure anyone in public life has said some words on live television and made fewer errors than jay carney. tremendous spokesman, a better colleague. >> boy, is this revealing? at first i thought this was sarcastic because it is so far from reality. then i realized that he did what they wanted to do. they wanted him to get up and tell implausible lies that the press corps didn't believe a word he was saying he was clearly talking over his head. as long as he was repeating the talking points. >> did he last maybe a little longer than most press secretaries. >> to say that he never made a mistake about anything, you think about how many times we have heard him repeat that the irs was just a few rogue people in the cincinnati office. how many times did we hear that? remember when he said something about hillary rosen and he knew three hillary rosens and when she had said the bad things about ann romney she never worked a day in her life. i don't really know. i know three miller rosens it might have been a different one. hillary rosen said i only know one hillary rosen and i am the only hillary rosen. >> i watched mike mccurry during the clinton years he had a really tough case to make, impossible case, pretend that the president wasn't lying and did he it without sacrificing personal integrity. you don't have to do what jay carney did but he did it anyway. first some headlines. >> get to those on your saturday morning. reports are that legendary gover phil mickelson, billionaire investor karl icon and well known gambler william walters are being investigated buy the fbi for insider trading. the investigation is specifically looking into well-timed trade phil mickelson and walters made involving clorox. made right before icon announced a bid to buy the company back in 2011. the lawyer denies he is the subject of any investigation. an american citizen from florida responsible for. this. [explosion] >> law enforcement officials believe mohammed abu zahul was responsible for suicide bombing in syria. makes him the first american to be involved in such an attack in the country. the photo of him was circulated by jihadist social media sites. unknown how many people were killed in the becoming. a cab driver friend of the boston bombing suspects arrested and charged with the obstruction of the investigation. federal investigators say the man lied about contacting caesar november brothers tsarnaev brothers hours before the becoming. had dinner about an hour after the bomb was set off. also accused of debeating computer files. he is he facing 30 charges in last year's bombing that killed 30 people and hurt 16 others. >> a graduation ceremony 70 years in the making. to present to you today your high school diploma. >> well an 88-year-old air force navy and army veteran finally gets his high school dip employee matchett charles walters jr. who lived in sis me, florida now left for boot camp in 1948, one month before he was scheduled to graduate from high school. and edgartown massachusetts. >> i couldn't believe the surprise that i have been looking for for years. kissimmee community leaders worked with the high school to get the diploma rushed in just in time for thursday's ceremony. >> let's check in with rick reichmuth now. >> where is that rick reichmuth. >> now he has to get a job which going to be a much harder task. >> no. is he going to move in with his parents. >> poor guy. >> here are your tempts as you are waking up this morning. take a look at this, incredibly warm across the far northern plains, firing line for severe weather that we have to deal with this weekend. right now the same system that brought all rain a weekend ago across parts of the south, parts of texas, oklahoma oklahoma, still hanging out here and bringing scattered showers this afternoon across parts of the southeast. that continues today and then that becomes that next firing line for us where today across the northern high plains we see the threat for severe weather. it's mostly going to be hail and damaging winds. can a see an isolated tornado or two. a slightly stronger tornado threat tomorrow as we move across parts of the central plains for much of nebraska, south dakota, down throughout the panhandles of oklahoma and texas. guys? >> thank you, sir. >> thanks so much, rick. the state department spokesperson practically laughed out of the room her own press conference after she said. this. >> i would argue the president doesn't give himself enough credit for what he has done around the world. >> wambulance? >> is modesty really the president's biggest problem? >> statues behind a curtain? wait until you hear this one. verizon has always set out to provide you with the most powerful and reliable network experience. and now for the next advancement. introducing verizon xlte. with 2x the 4g lte bandwidth and faster peak speeds in cities coast-to-coast, there's more space for everyone to stream and share more. this is xlte. for best results, use verizon. now bring in the whole family and get four lines for $160.

[ laughter ] >> and for what? yes, exactly. >> ouch. >> so is modesty really the president's biggest problem? here to debate it j s. jim pinkerton and editor for the conservative magazine and ellen rattner a fox news contributor and bureau chief for talk radio news service. nice to he see both of you this morning. >> thank you. >> ellen you are the uninvisible position of having to defend that press conference. do you agree with jen sack can i's position? >> i absolutely agree with general sacky's position. >> when president obama took over we were in two wars, afghanistan, two unwinnable wars and the economy was failing look at what he did. >> that was the president's campaign pledge platform. i'm not going to get us into wars i'm going to get us out of wars. isn't that the accomplishment according to ellen. >> he peaked in 2008 since he won the election. since then it's been hard for him. jen psaki provided mirth to a usually merciful press corps because even they agree he has presided over failure in syria. eclipse of america china in terms of economic growth huge energy deal between the russians and chinese which leaves the chinese, you know, importing all this energy from russia. making russia rich. empowering russia to keep control of ukraine even as president obama continues to weaken america through his own energy policies aimed at crushing the hydrocarbon industry. i mean, even the mainstream media can't swallow what she said. it's kind of humorous to think that actually apparently jen psaki was on the short list to replace jay carney. she could have been providing humor full time at the white house and catch her at the state department. >> the argument from critic its is that the president is inconsistent and weak on foreign policy. on one hand trying to move us into asia, trying to establish ourselves as a bulk head, a front against china the emerging asian markets. yet we are have russia annex crimea while we are standing around doing nothing. >> americans want out of afghanistan which the president is doing. americans don't want a war with russia or in russia or any parts around that and the president is making sure that that happens. i actually think, and i'm not mainstream press. i'm minor press, but i will tell you that those of us on minor press believe that the president is doing a good job on this because he is not getting us into unwinnable wars and he is paying attention to the economy. >> are we weaker jim as a result of us not carrying the big stick that we once held? >> i think the president would be the first to admit that he lost credibility last fall when he said we're going to intervene in syria and then the congress seemed to baulk and then the president said never mind i give up. even jen psaki couldn't spin that one as a success. look, the facts are clear. even christiane amanpour says the president has a weak foreign policy. the views on his west point speech were he didn't say much of anything. again, even the mainstream media can't argue that he has a strong foreign policy and the results from crimea to syria as the iranians continue to move toward a nuclear weapon as girls in nigeria still missing. they are still missing. >> jim, i have to say when you compare this president to president bush i will take this president's position foreign policy any day of the week. >> have to leave it there, ellen, jim, always great to see you here. jim in chicago and ellen here in new york. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> surprising speech from the nanny mayor, michael bloomberg. he is accusing liberals of silencing conservatives. we will take a look at the elite intolerance on college campuses coming up. >> problems with -- illegals dumped at a bus station in arizona after being caught. ceo steve ballmer for a record $2 billion pending a from the nba's board of governors. donald sterling not going down without a fight. he has filed a 1 billion-dollar lawsuit against the nba for forcing the sale. despite promises from his wife shellie to protect the league from litigation. tucker? anna? >> thank you, clayton, unlikely ally in the fight against conservatives and their speech. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg. >> used his commencement speech at harvard this week to lash out at what he calls a disturbing trend. >> on many college campuses, it is liberals trying to repress conservative ideas. even as conservative faculty members are at risk of becoming an endangered species probably nowhere more true than it is here in the ivy league. >> joining us now for reaction ashley pratt, a spokesperson for the young americans foundation. good morning, thanks for being with us. >> good morning, anna, thanks for having me. >> everyone know he is the food police for salt and soda and smoking, too. not for silencing the idea of exchanging different ideologies. are you surprised? >> i was shocked that i would ever be saying on national television that i agree with michael bloomberg. and i think young americans foundation was shocked about that, too. for years, we have been saying that this is happening. conservatives are being suppressed on college campuses. and michael bloomberg comes out and says that at a commencement peach at harvard. we do a commencement speaker survey every year where we try to track with the top 100 colleges how many of those speakers are conservative and how many are are liberal. this year 43 out of them -- out of the 100 that we could find were liberal. nine were conservative. one of them was obviously michael bloomberg. he comes out and does this and it was a gift to us. it's like this is what we have been saying all along it's that you. conservative students feel like free speech are suppressed. second amendment right on college campuses. you are seeing this happen where they have a lot of questions as to what they can and cannot do. this was a big step in the right direction for a lot of administrations to look and say this has been a serious problem. >> it's so bad that even a liberal like michael bloomberg is upset about it. >> exactly. you make such a great point we spend a the lot of time talking about the speakers who have been disinvited but most of them are established affluent people. it's the powerless students who disagree with the status quo who i feel sorry for on campus. >> they feel as though they have nowhere to turn and they don't hear for conservatives and that's been a huge issue for us. we american foundation help bring speakers to campus. help with the cost, the speaker fees because we know that students aren't hearing conservative viewpoints because they are being suppressed so much. we often get letters from students saying thank you for doing this we have never heard from a conservative before. that's sad these courses are supposed to be taught objectively we actually conducted a poll where they found 75% of students in this graduating senior class this year had said that they have had to take required diversity courses and race ethnicity, women's studies showing you just how liberal some of these courses are getting that those are now required courses. not electives but required for their college graduation. >> so there are no. >> obviously not. nothing on "duck dynasty" but you have got miley and swhafer else and feminist courses and that's okay. >> ashley pratt. that was great. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. >> 27 minutes after the hour on your saturday morning. a meeting of terrorists starts off with a bang when a would be suicide bomb goes off right in their faces. you have got to see this. hilarious. and, tom cruise is back in action with his new movie but first is he talking to us. >> i know. >> whose idea was it?

direction the obama administration is headed under new rules proposed by the e.p.a. that would redefine water, the very definition. some lawmakers say it could leave americans up the creek without a paddle. congressman lemar smith is chairman of the science space and technology committee in the house. is he there now to discuss it with us. congressman, thanks a lot for joining us. >> good morning, good to be with you. >> this is part of a pretty dramatic expansion of federal power by fiat, announced by the obama administration using the environment as a pretext. i want to deviate from this specific topic a little bit because we have a breaking story here. i want to play you audio that the president, the white house released this morning about 45 minutes ago, about the expansion of controls over carbon emission. listen to what the president just said. >> okay. >> i directed the environmental protection agency to build on the efforts of many states, cities, and companies and come up with common sense guidelines for reducing dangerous carbon pollution, special interest and their allies in congress will claim that these guidelines will kill jobs and crush the economy. let's face it, that's what they always say. these excuses for inaction somehow suggest a lack of faith in american businesses and american ingenuity. >> so, in other words, we are taxing energy without congressional approval and if you don't agree you don't believe in america. >> right. and, of course, these regulations they are so heavy handed, they are so expensive, they are going to result in lost jobs. they are going it result in costing individuals and small business owners billions of dollars. and the president can't deny that in the case of clean water or clean air, we need a clean environment but we need to have open and honest regulations when they are proposed and these regulations are impressive. this is the greatest power grab in the history of the country for the administration, for the environmental protection agency to issue rules in the case of water to regulate human made ponds on someone's backyard, for example, or streams on private property. totally unprecedented and just a power grab that we haven't seen before. >> and we should be clear with our viewers, this would be federal regulation. this is not your town zoning board. this is your bass pond in your backyard being designated a vernal pool and all the sudden federal bureau democrats in d.c. have jurisdiction over your backyard. >> you see this pattern with this administration they want to control more and more of our lives and more and more of our property. in this case they are actually violating the law. the law requires them to submit these regulations to an independent science advisory board. they have not done so. they have gotten ahead of the board. i don't know what their rush is unless they are trying to hide some information or unless they are worried that the independent advisory board won't agree with them. but they have gotten way ahead of themselves to enact a partisan agenda to control more of the individual americans' lives. it really is unprecedented. quite frankly as chairman of the science committee i issued a subpoena as chairman of the science committee in 21 years to try to get the data that the e.p.a. relies upon to issue these regulations. and they were not willing to give us that information. they still haven't given us that information. >> is there anything you can do about it?

[ applause ] flush. >> whoa. no standing, tepid applause at best. compare that the reception at west point gave president bush at the end of 2008, and remember that was hardly the high point of his presidency. >> please welcome again a warm welcome to the president of the united states. [cheers and applause] >> ouch. bring in dr. ben carson. including that one there the president's response. do you think that that's part and parcel of the response that the president has put forth in his foreign policy around the world, doctor, that we got this sort of tepid response at west point? what do you think? >> you look at all generals that have been fired. you look at the fact that we left our people in benghazi and said it's too dangerous. look at what's going on with the v.a. look at what's happening around the world. why would the troops be enthusiastic about that? i have managed to talk to a lot of people in the military. they tell me that the level of enthusiasm has decreased dramatically. that's dangerous for us because the military should be enthusiastic about their jobs. and we have a real obligation to make sure that they understand how much we appreciate them. >> and dr. carson, you said let's take a look at the v.a. let's do that, secretary eric shinseki announced a force resignation after both the democrats and republicans had been calling for this. getting rid of him is that going to solve the problem at the v.a. or is it much deeper? >> it solves the problem of many people calling for his resignation but doesn't do anything about the problems at the v.a. i have had an opportunity to work in v.a. hospitals. very fine people who are dedicated to our veterans. however, there are some layers of bureaucracy between those veterans and the people who want to take care of them take it makes the system entirely deficient. this is entirely what i'm concerned about with the affordable care act. taking people's most precious thing, their health and their healthcare and putting it in a system where they there are some bureaucrats. we don't need that we can do so much better than that we have adequate resources. we have adequate ideals. and if we can just start working together and forget about this my way or the highway stuff, we can take care of all of our citizens in a way that puts the healthcare in their hands, brings the whole medical system into the free market economy which will control pricing and will control efficiency. >> could you say the same about obamacare? is that the way -- assuming we don't repeal obamacare, do we fix it using the same means you just described? >> i'm not sure it's fixable. i am in the camp of replacement. because of the fundamental shift of power from the people to the government. that is my primary objection to the system. not so much the poor rule out and computer system and the raising prices and the hidden taxes and all the bureaucracy and on and on i could go. yes, those are bad things. but those pale in comparison to the fact that the people have shifted to the government the power to control the most important thing they have. once that happens, it's a downward spiral historically. go back and read about how that happens in countries. we don't want that in america. >> doctor, this week with all the other things happening with the v.a., with foreign policy issues, overseas, announcements about afghanistan and so on. the president took some time out on wednesday to have a summit on football and concussions. and here's why -- here is what legendary coach lou holts has to say about this it and why the president is weighing in on it and assert his authority in the nfl. take a listen. >> i understand why he wouldn't like it because, number one, if you're going to play football you have to be held accountable and held responsible. you have an obligation to other people. you have to work hard and sacrifice. doesn't matter about race or creed or financial status. it's all about productivity and what you do. >> obviously you are a neurosurgeon so you have a particular interest in that area and can you weigh in on this. what do you think about the president weigh hing in on the nfl and concussions? >> well, is it an area of concern for some people? absolutely. have many of the teams taken precautions now to make sure that we don't have repeated concussions? because we know that those can be quite deleterious, yes, that has happened also. is this a priority right now with all the problems that are going on?

>> >> well, first of all, we need to be knowledgeable. americans have to understand that we are the people. we are the pinnacle of power. we are the ones who decide the direction of the country. but, when we go into a voting booth and we look for a d or an r or a name that looks familiar, we really are shirking our responsibilities of being knowledgeable and we end up getting what we have. you know, congress has a 90% disapproval rate but return people to congress at a rate of 90%. which means we are obviously not doing our job. and we have to equip ourselves with with knowledge. knowledgeable is a formidable foe of hauls hood and ally of truth. it will be difficult for people to deceive us with floury words when we actually have a good understanding of what's going on. also, we, the people, must recognize that we are not each other's enemies. the real enemies are those who drive wedges into any possible crack so they can create, you know, a war on women, age wars, income wars, racial wars, any kind of war and, of course, that's straight out of the book of solenski, rules for radicals, divide and conquer. we must be smarter than that we, the american people, have to stop allowing ourselves so easily to be manipulated and use this tremendous brain that god gave us to analyze things. we can solve the problems that we have in this country quite reveling. and at the each chapter there are action steps that each individual american can take collectively and individually to safe our tion. >> dr. ben carson. on bus tour across this fruited plain. thanks a lot for joining us, doctor. we appreciate it?

joining us now is national security editor of the blaze and former cia officer who did serve in afghanistan buck sexton. welcome. >> thanks for joining us, buck. >> thanks for having me. >> what are the practical effects of this drawdown, do you think? >> well the practical effects from our perspective is that now the president, once again, has made a decision really based entirely upon politics, i think. when you look at the time lines throughout obama maps presidency for decisions in afghanistan, whether it's the review in 2009, which, by the way, just told people at the end of that year in 2009 what was already known in afghanistan, it was really just a delay to the surge and now to the drawdown, it all somehow fits very neatly into president obama's sort of electoral window if you will, decisions always seem to fit into when he' would want them to be decided that way. as it means to the ground in afghanistan, there is no real difference that's been made, i think, in a few core problems, one of them being that there is the pakistani sanctuary for the taliban. they can run, they can refit and equip themselves and rest and train that hasn't changed. the things on the ground that would need to be different for us to pull up all stakes and go. that hasn't happened. the president is playing politics with national security. that's not to surprise anybody. given the fact that his foreign policy is so bad as we saw at the speech earlier this week. >> it's nonsensical. >> there is no policy really. >> patchwork to policies here in the united states. they are political realities, the public doesn't want permanent occupation of afghanistan. should they want one. >> no. but the american should be willing to tell the american people the truth about that if you want to do what the president is now pretending could be done in two years just in time for him to it leave office, by the way. he will be ending yet another war if you want to actually accomplish those goals, you are going to have to stay there from five, 10 years where we are now with a larger troop presence than is he willing to. >> it's going to be disastrous. does anybody really believe. do you knowny anybody who believes afghanistan won'try vert to a dangerous stone age place like it it was before we came. >> i have not met a single person yet who has served in afghanistan who knows afghanistan well who does not think that given the time line president obama has set up afghanistan will not collapse into some stage of civil war. then the anarchy we can expect from that within three, five years, perhaps. >> does it make it more likely we will be attacked again. >> that's very tough to see there is a lot of al qaeda all over the world. al qaeda and taliban aren't necessarily going to be working together. it's going to be a very bad place for afghans going forward we will have to see. >> what a shame given all the americans that died. >> there once again politics over national security this presidency what you can expect. they have been doing it every turn. >> buck sexton, thank you for joining us. >> good to see you, tucker. >> a story the press hasn't told you about president's plan to military. huckabee here on that coming up. all over your supermarket. made with real fruit?

wow, dressed in a blue gown, the top star diva posting several vinyl videos and instagram pictures as well documenting her commute. it turns out she didn't last too long. >> what a lengthy ride. >> she finished out her trip in a yellow cab. >> i'm glad she stooped down to our level to take a subway. oh, poor thing. >> mike huckabee joins us now. the long-time governor and all around sage, i would say. >> i don't know about that i'm not sure about the sage part about that. >> you always have a great astute things to say. >> and you just landed from china. >> yeah, i got in yesterday. we have been over there a couple of weeks my wife and i from our 40th anniversary. >> you look great. >> the jet lag doesn't bother me. there are some things to talk about. >> i don't know if the news hit while you were over in china with the resignation of secretary shinseki weigh in on this as you were traveling across the world. how does it weigh in overseas. >> people are fascinated by the fact we are not taking care of our veterans. i was reading international newspapers while lives there. the most interesting blog post that i have seen you know how when a person leaves a government post it's i want to spend more time with my family. carnally and shinseki both leave yesterday and one blogger pointed out and said shinseki is pointing out shinseki more family waiting on him and carney is going to spend more time lying to his family. insight into what their legacies will actually be. >> he leaves in his wake veteran affairs department that is an absolute mess. go by the president's comments yesterday. help me understand this. >> yeah. >> so on the one hand, he was pained by the fact that shinseki, it was up to to him to leave as he put it. when asked who would fill it, the undersecretary right underneath him would come and step. in one man, he didn't want him to leave. it's a whole cultural problem. the whole area needs to be changed inside the veteran affairs so. why wasn't he forced out earlier? i don't get it. >> a couple of things, tucker knows this because he has been in washington a long time. number one, this is all about symbolism, not substance. nothing substantive was done yesterday. it was symbolic walking of the plank, so that shinseki walks off. i don't think shinseki knew when he woke up yesterday morning that he was out. i think he was out when he got a phone call saying your resignation would be deeply appreciated within the next 10 minutes. because he made a speech yesterday morning acting like everything was just fine and then, you know, an hour later, his head is rolling down the carpet of the white house. clearly, this was something that had to be done. just to make the symbolism, but the substantive problems at the v.a. are only going to be solved when someone goes in and actually does the managing which is what has been lacking at the v.a. and you don't change a huge institution by simply replacing somebody at the top. you go to the bottom, you go to the people who deliver the supervisors and work your way from the bottom to the top rather than the top to the bottom. and most of the time, my experience in government was. this you will find that the real bottleneck is in the middle. those middle manager bureaucrats who have been there forever and they plan to stay there forever. and their whole job is not taking care of the customer at the delivery end, it's making sure that they cover their own rear ends and keep their jobs. and so if you go to the people who deliver, and say tell me what you would do to fix this system, tell me what's wrong with it it, they will give you some honest answers. i'm talking about the people make 10 bucks an hour. no not the people who get big bonuses that's how listen to. >> big day in washington. aside from that another man out o, jay carney. this administration promised to be the most transparent. carney was plagued with a lot of spinning he had to do with phony scandals as he called them. what do you think will happen next? >> the sad thing about the whole press secretary at the white house how do you spin something that is so far from truth? now, the only reason that jay carney got away with as much as he did, is because he basically had an audience of very sympathetic people sitting there with a couple of exceptions. jonathan karl of abc, ed henry of obviously our channel who was, you know, willing to ask tough questions. but, for the most part, they set there and listened and went along with the nonsense it was about jid benghazi. no couple low level employees in cincinnati that was the reason of the irs scandal oh no the department of justice hasn't covered anything he' up. on and on the spin kin continued. it wasn't spin. it was outright lie. they knew what they were saying was untrue. it didn't seem to me that he was serving the interest of his boss. >> he wasn't. he was doing what his boss and the boss' inner circle had told him to do. that's go out and just tell what we want to be the truth. not what is the truth. you know, press secretaries have a tough job. their job is essentially to sell the president. but their job is also to sell the truth. and not to be so partisan but to be administratively focused. this was, i think, a press secretary i have never seen one who was as partisan, who openly, publicly, took on the other party, not just opposing viewpoints. it was more like a campaign press secretary than a white house press secretary. >> contemptuous. anyone who dared ask a question was out of line and pompous and dumb. inept, really. i don't think a single person watching the briefing thought i'm really impressed by the obama administration. >> we did not have the ability to come across with a sense of warmth and candor. he was snarky and condescending to the press, which, in essence means he was condescending to all of us, the american taxpayers who pay for his salary. >> he had difficulty answering questions about benghazi when pressed on those very issues. and meanwhile hillary clinton has been slamming her critics about her benghazi response in a brand new book. some fact checking though of her chapter on benghazi seems to have left a few things out in her new book "hard choices." what do you have to say about this. >> the book is clearly to preempt a lot of the questions she is going to face should she run. i say should she run. i don't think it's an absolute forgone conclusion. let's say she is leaning toward it, moving toward it, taking every step. she has to preempt a lot of these things so when she is out campaigning rather than having herself peppered with these questions she can say you know i already dealt with that. >> just read my book. >> a number of months ago they said she ♪ going to have to answer for benghazi on the campaign trail. here is further example she won't have to answer for it? >> she might not have to in the primary that may be true the democrats run a tight ship and they control their message. no way she is going to get away with that in the general election unless she has a republic can opponent who is absolutely weak below the neck. i can't just imagine that happening. >> all right. governor huckabee, sticks around for a story that you're not going to see anywhere else and it's a shocking story. so don't go away. it's a secret memo showing the president's plan to use the military, our military against americans. >> and a marine who served our country locked up in a mexican prison. enduring beatings and even handcuffed to his bed naked. that marine now speaking out. his struggle for freedom ahead. upgrade to the philips norelco shaver series 8000 for the most advanced shaving experience. with gyroflex 3d technology, you can get to those hard to reach places for the ultimate shave wet or dry. guaranteed. visit philips.com/fathersday now to save $50. verizon has always set out to provide you with the most powerful and reliable network experience. and now for the next advancement. introducing verizon xlte. with 2x the 4g lte bandwidth and faster peak speeds in cities coast-to-coast, there's more space for everyone to stream and share more. this is xlte. for best results, use verizon. now bring in the whole family and get four lines for $160. a shocking report from the "washington times" reveals a secret memo from 2010 that outlines the obama administration's plans to use military force potentially against americans. >> the pentagon director reads this: the federal reaction including the use of military forces is authorized when necessary to protect the federal property or function. >> back here to discuss this shocking story is governor mike huckabee. governor, welcome back. >> thanks. >> so what do you make of this memo and whether or not -- i mean, military force, we saw what unfolded, of course, and with police force out at the cliven bundy ranch and so forth. this seems like a slippery slope for the federal government. >> this might be the kind of thing you would dismiss as some, you know, pentagon official with too much time on his hands working up all kinds of scenarios, except, in this administration, we have seen just flagrant abuse of federal power. we have watched this administration use the irs to go after groups that it disagreed with politically. we watched them go after reporters like james rosen of fox news, go after the associated press and tap their phones and check their emails. we have watched the abuse of federal power in so many ways under this administration, absolutely we were just talking, lying to us. so when this kind of thing comes up, it's not too farfetched to think that we have a government that would think it's okay to use the military against civilians. >> he will with, of course not. >> they can't do that. >> the nsa was created to monitor foreign governments and now it's monitoring me. >> exactly. >> the u.s. military was created to protect from foreign threats. is it a stretch to think it could be turned inward? >> tucker, anybody with a ninth grade civics classroom experience knows that the military is never supposed to be used internally against our citizens. the closest thing we. >> neither is the nsa by the way. >> that's exactly right. so we have just seeing complete reversal of every constitutional rights americans have and every expectation we should have. >> governor, i would love to get your reaction to another excerpt, federal military commanders have the authority and extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted authorities to engage temporarily in activities that are large scale civil disturbances. do you see this necessary federal military operations being used in civilian ways. that's martial law. that's a serious line to be crossed. very honest questions about who in their right mind thinks that the purpose of you are military is to turn those guns inward towards americans. >> this says without prior authorization. >> and. >> act unilaterally? what about the congress? that's crazy. >> no more than a general can push the button and start a nuclear war. this is dr. strange love stuff. this is nuts. >> that was a line that stood out to me. so if the president is off on a golf course he can't be reached somehow that's what this directive says and you're governor of arkansas and you are faced with a massive riot and you don't know what to do. what would you do as governor in this situation would you feel compelled under those circumstances to call in drones and call in the military? first you first of all i could army activate the air force. nobody has a right to do that except the president of the united states. i don't care if he is inaccessible. if is he truly inaccessible. then there is a line of succession con stawcially. you don't just say so i thought i would do it. i'm a staff sergeant but i thought gee, we need to go ahead and turn the guns on these people. >> i saw large by citizens. >> i didn't know it was a rock concert watching aerosmith. >> regot marines. >> my gosh, this is really frightening stuff. >> governor huckabee, as always, great to see you. welcome back from china. >> when you are back you have got a show to do tonight. who is on your show tonight. >> congressman jeff miller chairman of the veterans committee who will be talking about this whole nest that he has been very forceful. i think it's going to be a great segment. kelly wright our own fox anchor is going to be a doing a little version of the michael jackson song. >> he has a voice on him. >> thanks. ed snowden swears is he a patriot. >> you have met putin?

"fox and friends" hour four starts right now. >> i love it. you know what today is? the eighth anniversary of mario cars. the new game is out. we've got mario cars on the plaza. i'm going to be racing rick later with mario cars. >> that is the producer and floor director out there. >> racing seems like a strong verb. they can only hold 00 pounds, but we'll push the limit. >> we are so glad this morning to have dana perino sitting on the curvy couch. >> if you could save one of those cars, i could give it to greg. >> welcome in. obviously, you have a very unique perspective on what it's like to be press secretary for the white house. jay carney out this beak. dan phifer treating he was one of the most remarkable press secretaries we had ever seen. in so many words he said behind that podium, so few mistakes he made. what do you make of his departure? >> i think that is high praise. forgetting what dan phifer said. when president obama gave a very impassioned and i think heart-felt good-bye to jay carney at the podium, there is nothing like that relationship between the press secretary and president if there is a good one. there have been some bad ones, but typically it's a good relationship. it's weird to watch how shinseki forced into a resignation and jay carney has been rumored a long time looking to leave. i think he served about as much time as a press secretary can serve in today's modern time with technology. >> do you find it ironic here carney was a long-time reporter for "time" magazine, reviled by reporters. >> it was interesting to watch. tony snow was the press secretary before me. i worked as his deputy. he had been in media but in the talk show world, in the conservative commentary world. when he came to the white house, it wasn't like he was leagues with the people in the white house press corps. jay carney was different. you knew him as a friend and neighbor. i knew him when he was d.c. bureau chief for "time" magazine. maybe it's the sign of the times, but one of my criticisms has been, i think they are just entirely too partisan from the white house in general, but from the podium in particular. the press secretary job is not the dnc spokesperson or the rnc spokesperson. you are the press secretary for the entire country and that really matters. >> i loved that job. it was a great honor. i always thought it was amazing when we would travel, i was more recognized in south korea or in israel than i would be in the united states. that's because when you are worried about your country and you count on the united states to protect you, you watch the press secretary. >> of course. >> big day in washington because of secretary shinseki being forced to resign, essentially. this is after calls from both sides of the aisle. the call is getting louder and louder. it seemed he was so politically toxic he had to go. how do we clean up this mess? >> the white house did what they had to do. the tidal wave against shinseki was getting to be something that would overwhelm them. that doesn't mean their problems go away. i hope somebody was clear-eyed and realized if this was happening in phoenix, this times x is happening all across the country. those problems that they are systemic across the country will be revealed. the deputy sloan gibson has to have the confidence of the president, but also very innovative thinking. the hill will be on top of him. i hope this thing is different. i hope we don't manufacture some sort of problem and then pretend we fix it so three years from now we are always talking about the same thing. >> here's the president saying he takes responsibility for the problems at the v.a., but not really. watch this. >> in terms of responsibility, as i've said before, this is my administration. i always take responsibility for whatever happens and this is an area i have a particular concern with. this predates by presidency, when i was in the senate i was on the veterans affairs committee. i heard first hand veterans who were not getting the kind of services and benefits they had earned. i pledge that if i have the privilege of serving as commander in chief and president, we would fix it. the v.a. is a big organization that has had problems for a very long time. >> it sounds like whining to me. one hand, back when i was a senator we knew problems existed. you know what? this all existed well before i got here. don't put the blame on me. >> i liked peggy noonan's column today in the "wall street journal." governing is not the fun part, the fun part is hanging out with celebrities and traveling around the world and doing the things you are interested like the nfl concussion thing or help the needy, but the role of the executive is to manage the agencies they are in charge of. president obama didn't mention the wounded warrior commission in 2007 that president bush put into place partly in response to this issue. president bush could have blamed president clinton and his dad and presidents before him for all issues including 9/11. that excuse-making wears very thin with the american people. where it doesn't seem to wear thin is in the west wing. they use it for everything. if you could have take that speech plus president obama's west point speech he gave monday on memorial day, basically, i call it the west pointless speech. part of what he did was rebut all his critics. why rebut critics that aren't criticizing you. there was no clamor for that speech. i say this every saturday. every week i think they had one of their worst weeks. it doesn't seem to catch up with them in their minds. i think the country is moving away from them. now i think the country is starting to move ahead. they want to know what's going to happen. >> the numbers are bad but not as bad. >> one more thing you had this week we want to share it with everybody, the story about your frog. >> oh, do you have it? >> okay. my producer likes to send me funny things. they put a frog on a sprinkler and he is going for a ride. i thought this week america needs to see a frog on a sprinkler. maybe people don't know. say you find a video like that and you think it's so cute i want to use it for one more thing. you have to contact the person to get permission to run it, but if you put a frog on a sprinkler on youtube, you want everyone to look at it. you still have to get permission. that's the law. i made a public appeal and the guy dan egan gave me permission on twitter. america needed to see a frog on a sprinkler. >> you paid our day. >> bob made fun of me. he said dana, never overpromise on one thing. i teased this for two days. >> is twitter legally binding now? >> it is. >> i don't know. he said i'm the guy that filmed the frog on sprinkler and you have my permission. >> people are doing their nuptials on twitter. >> you could come up with your own fake permission slip. i would never do that. >> thank you. the legal department says stop by on your way out. i'm glad the frog got permission. >> great to have you. nine minutes after the hour. we have other stories. reports are legendary golfer phil mickelson, billionaire investor carl ikhan and walters, looking at trades involving clorox. mickelson's lawyer denies he is the subject of any investigation. an american citizen from florida responsible for this. law enforcement officials believe the man carried out the suicide bombing in syria. makes him the first american involved in the country. it was circulated by jihada social media site. it's unknown how many people were killed in the bombing. a hero green beret slamming gwyneth paltrow after she compares celebrities to soldiers going to war. a purple heart recipient wrote this, "a long line of star bucks, your driver being three minutes late, scuff mark on your $1,200 shoes and a mean tweet do not constitute difficulty in the eyes of a soldier." "the hollywood elite lost touch with reality. the gwyneth paltrows of the world don't have a clue what pain and suffering entails. they live in a fantasy world. she oes every veteran an apology." "and gwyneth paltrow using the term war or battle is a figure of speech." thanks for weighing in. coming up, the white house is supposed to keep secrets, but that didn't happen when it accidentally leaked the name of a cia station chief in afghanistan last week. our next guest says their son was killed because of a similar leak by the white house. abandon ship. a $10 million mistake caught on camera. the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to a boat. out to provide you with the most powerful and reliable network experience. and now for the next advancement. introducing verizon xlte. with 2x the 4g lte bandwidth and faster peak speeds in cities coast-to-coast, there's more space for everyone to stream and share more. this is xlte. for best results, use verizon. now bring in the whole family and get four lines for $160. will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather? a mouth breather!

billy and karen vaughn are authors of "betrayed" and join us live. >> good morning, tucker. >> explain to our viewers who aren't familiar with your story how you believe the white house leaked information that led to the death of your son? >> well, we don't believe they leaked it, we know they leaked it. according to then secretary of defense robert games. we can't prove that led to the shootdown of the chopper. what we know it was a breach of national security according to then secretary of state robert gates. they agreed the details of the raid wouldn't come out but that all fell apart the next morning. he said that on tv as he addressed special operators and their families concerned about them being compromised because their secrecy is utmost to the success of their operation. >> we know the administration has leaked previously unconfirmed information in the aftermath of the bin laden killing in an effort to get publicity for that, to take credit for it, they leaked information that a lot in that community were mad about. what is the administration's response to your charges they led to your son's death? >> there has literally not been a response what billy and i have come to understand and what this nation has come to understand is that this administration has a child-like compulsion to score political points with no regard for the human cost. we've seen it over and over again. take a look back in history at the koran burning. when our president came out and excoriated the burning, 37 of those were u.s. soldiers and came out later and said, oops, i made a mistake. they did it properly, there was no breach of trust or respect, but this administration is continuous. we had just recently the double agent for the saudi british op that went bad. our admini he was trying to still keep his mission ongoing, our administration outed them. it's a continuous breach. >> to take credit for what happened. >> right. for political points and spiking the football. i think the american people have had enough. >> we outed the pakistan doctor who helped in the bin laden raid. outed him while they were denying it, the white house, leon panetta particularly said yes, he was the one. that man as far as i know is still in prison. we compromised in fast and furious our border agents on the southern border. it goes on and on again. you wonder, is it because they are very unprofessional but is it because they are unprofessionals and novices or complies why it in destroying and dismantling the institutions that provide security to the republic of the united states of america. >> very quickly, your son a navy seal, special operations guy, you are very familiar with that. is this concern widespread in the special operations community? >> there have been people who talk to us about their concerns. the word i had used to me is they're watering us down and there is a compromise of confidence between the war fighters on the ground and the administration and our upper leaders in washington. this makes it unsafe for the war fighters and it makes it unsafe for national security for the citizens of our united states. >> tucker, i'm not sure many people are aware that not only did joe biden out the navy seals after the bin laden raid, but on june 24, 2011 which happened to be our son's 30th birthday, leon panetta outed the names of the men who ran the raid. this is unprecedented. we have to at some point stop and say where does the buck actually stop with this administration? will anybody ever be held accountable for what has happened to real people in this country? after that, after joe biden outed the seals, aaron called me to tell me my life was in danger. how that is fair for any u.s. citizen to be compromised by the administration who is too inept to maintain national security. >> thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. a v.a. hospital chapel hiding jesus and mary behind a curtain. this is in a chapel. they say the government made them do it. plus the white house setting its sights on one of america's popular sports, football. what the administration is demanding be changed. reaction from a former nfl star.

former nfl player merrill hoge joins us to talk about this. >> good morning. how are you guys? >> fantastic. first let's talk and does politics have a role in football? should the white house be weighing in on this at a time when we are worried about the economy and our veterans? >> well, those two things i do think precede it. if you are going to get involved, any time they do they should be correct and consistent and informed correctly. that's been the problem with head traumas. there is a lot of misinformation. people are not educated, not informed. they run around with their hair on fire and make irrational decisions. i wouldn't let me son play football, you almost need to ask them why. find out how much education they have based on that. why are you doing that? i'll give an example. if you have parents in general and they are like i don't want my son to play football but they come home, they don't put a seat belt on them, son gets out of the car, grabs his car and takes off without a helmet. he put him in greater jeopardy of having some trauma or fatality in those two instances than you ever would on a football field. especially if that coach has been educated. equipment is correct and he is teaching the right technics. all this education is vital. if you don't take action, if you see some problem with your son or daughter in any environment, you remove them from that environment, get them evaluated for head trauma that may have occurred. >> we keep hearing politicians throw around the word "safe" specifically with the nfl and youth football. we need to make football safe. part of the appeal of football and sports is that it's not necessarily safe, it's athletic. there's going to be bang-ups. that's a part of playing football. should the word "safe" be used by politicians? >> absolutely not. very dangerous. when you think of safe, i hear you say safe, that's not going to be action. there can't be anything that would happen to me. we need to be careful with our words. use words like safer. we can reduce things. if you say safe, that's what people expect. i'm not going to get hurt. you can only make things safer. if you are going to get in a car, are you going to be safe? no. you can only be safer. if you put your seat belt on and obey the law. i can't help the knuckle heads driving around me. in football or sports in general, can we make the environment safer? absolutely. education and taking action with this particular injury or any other injury. is your coach educated? the words we use are really vital and very concerning to me. when you do hear "safe" or "eliminate" those should never be part of head trauma. we can minimize them, reduce them. >> concussion rates are going down in the nfl and they doing a lot to get rid of the helmet to helmet collisions. what type of life lesson did you learn from football? >> had i not had sports, had i not played football, had i not been around one of the greatest teachers to walk the white lines of the football field, i don't know i would be the person i am. that's where i learned my life lessons. i graduated college, in math class, english, science, i never learned accountability, responsibility, setting goals, working hard. all the things that apply to life, not just in sports but to life, rather it's businesses or challenges. i'm a youth football coach and parent of a son who plays football. to mold young men and teach them those things that are going to translate to life, i know of no other form that allow mees to do that. scouting would be the only thing i can think of. sports is vital teaching our kids those life lessons that will translate to life and the things they want to accomplish outside of sports. >> well said. the great merrill hoge. great to see you on "fox and friends." >> my pleasure. coming up, a meeting of terrorists starts off with a bag. a would-be suicide bomb goes off right in their faces by accident. it's all caught on top. watch out for those turtle shells and banana peels. we are playing a real-life version of mario carts. here is what's coming up, president promising yet another investigation after leaking the name of our top cia guy. how about leadership, sir?
