informed about the plot in april by his homeland security and counterterrorism advisor brennan and rereceived updates and briefing." three days before the anniversary of the bin laden raid, brennan stated. >> we said publicly there is no credible reporting that there is an active plot underway to coincide with the bin laden takedown. >> reporter: in a briefing to coincide with the anniversary, fox news asked a senior counterterrorism official if another device had been picked up. and it was denied. "i'm not familiar with the report you just cited. of another bomb in the last six months." so nothing has been intercepted or picked up in "not that i know of. no." tonight on capitol hill, senior officials and staffers told fox they had not been briefed on the plot or the device. moments ago, secretary of defense confirmed it was highly classified operation and that he had no further comment at this time, bret? >> bret: that is a bit unusual. for senate intelligence chair diane feinstein to say she was briefed 30 minutes ago about something that the president says he was briefed about i

turns out john brennan, the chief counter terrorism advisor, it goes on, the national security advisors, c.i.a., navy seal team six. what is going on? >> kimberly: i'll tell you, i know this for a fact, they are in with the administration. bob! >> bob: sorry. >> kimberly: because of these exact situations. the information being leaked, that puts them in danger. they prefer to remain anonymous, not to have credit for what happens, not to have president take a victory lap. to operate in the shadows and stay that way, look at all the attention that happened. look what happens with the helo that crashed after the bin laden rid. a lot of unfortunate circumstances from. that so when you see a situation like this, it seems like he is politically trying to profit from it. the harvey weinstein film, huge supporter of obama coming out, isn't that fortuitous, right before the election? >> eric: a couple days after the raid they link it to hollywood. >> bob: i'm for it. >> kimberly: why? >> bob: it's great for re-election. leaving that aside, there has not been a single u.s. military actio

-- >> andrea: but they did ask brennan. >> dana: i think the leaker will turn out lower level person somewhere, u.s. side, but that doesn't necessarily mean u.s. soil. the strange thing to me is what motivates a leaker. you want so much to be, you either hurt your country or you want to make friends with the media. >> greg: people like to gossip because it feels good. you get a biological release. how do we know the terrorists are al-qaeda? i resent the media linking them the plot. we shouldn't have linked occupy wall street to cleveland wall street. why do this here? >> bob: it is al-qaeda in yemen. the idea somehow they figured it out and timed it to use it -- >> eric: no one said -- listen. tall coon denses are silly -- all the coincidences are silly, right? silly coincidence. right? so call for investigation to find out where the leak is coming from. >> greg: it's to protect travolta. >> dana: if anyone can find a leaker, it's the c.i.a. >> bob: if they find him, you won't know it. >> dana: i think they should put it out publicly. >> greg: "vanity fair "should do a story on it. >> dana: co

the use of covert drone strikes on al qaeda targets. counter terrorism chief john brennan says targets are chosen by weighing whether there is a way to capture the person, against how much the person is a threat to americans. he went on to say that they are precise, but some civilians have been killed. one world trade center becoming the tallest building in new york city today. it is now more than 1250 feet high, just enough to peek over the empire state building observation deck. tell take another year to complete the skyscraper, built to replace the twin towers, destroyed on 9/11. i'm ainsley earhardt. now back to "on the record" with greta. thanks for watching fox. >> this has been a really difficult part of the economic recovery. the president says each week, we have created 4 million private-sector jobs since the recession began. that's true. but this has been the dark spot of the economic recovery. over 600,000 job, the majority -- a large proportion being teachers. it's a serious problem. he won't campaign on that, obviously. but republican who is don't favor aid to stat

advisor john brennan laid out the legal justification in a speech last month. >> matter of international law, the united states is in an armed conflict with al-qaeda, taliban and associated forces. in response to the 9/11 attac attacks. we may use force consistent with the right of national self-defense. >> language former bush administration note is strikingly familiar to republican justifications that candidate obama ripped in 2008. >> represents a 180 in the direction. hypocritical, he continues to criticize those believing in enhanced interrogation but does this which is more intrucetive, i'd say. >> republicans question the timing of the massive leak to "new york times" and whether it was aimed to make the president look more hawkish in an election year. >> why this information and the fact that the people are targeted let out to the press is shocking. fits a pattern of abuse. intelligence and national security information. >> white house officials insist there is nothing inappropriate and notes the president more direct hands-on approach delivered results. notably, ta

leader killed memorial a year ago ago. chief john brennan it includes osama bin laden's diary. new york city police say a woman who lost control of her suv with deadly results was driving 68 miles per hour. investigators finding she clipped concrete divider and fell 60 feet on the grounds of bronx zoo. all seven people in that car all same members of the family died. the delivery was likely going with the flow of the traffic. the posted speed limit was 50 miles an hour. now back to on the record with greta. >> greta: 611,000 jobs, that is how many positions state and local governments have slashed since president obama took office. sounds like trouble for the president, right? maybe not. financial reporter joining us. i suppose republicans like a smaller government. that may be a good thing. how bad is this? >> it's been a really difficult part of the economic recovery. the president goes out each week we've created 4 million private sector jobs and that is true but this is dark spot of the economic recovery. over 600,000 jobs, majority but a large proportion being teachers. it's b

tactical planning is done. they got meetings with the white house counterterrorism advisor john brennan and deputy national security advisor for the project and late today, we got a response from the defense department. it reads in part, the department of defense as well as other agencies and departments regularly engage with the entertainment industry to inform projects ranging from books to documentaries to feature films and you can count on probably more of a response on capitol hill tomorrow -- where at least committee chairman has called for a full investigation into these meetings. shep. >> shepard: i'm sure. >> you can count on it. >> shepard: politics season, good times. thank you. the three men police say plotted to bomb the mayor of chicago's home, president obama's chicago campaign headquarters, police stations and financial institutions, all of that, those three guys appeared in court today. you'll recall cops arrested them on saturday ahead of the nato summit. if convicted, the three could each face up to 30 years in prison. but their attorneys are like undercover officers

. with we got quite a few about last week's show. kevin reed wrote about brennan. he was fine with obama holding pictures of bin laden with the gies of citing violence. william had this reaction to our conversation with preacher joel ossteen. he is sincere man but i wish he could evolve his scripture regarding gay. >> please be sure to keep your comments coming. you can find us at foxnewssunday.com. have a great week and we'll see you next fox news sunday.

strategic agreement. you think about it, you've got john brennan, the white house counterterrorism adviser telling us what a great thing these strikes are that are being launched by unmanned aerial vehicles, predators and raoerps at the same time that obama is signing a document in kabul with karzai that says we are not going to do that any more. think about this. here is osama bin laden worrying about those strikes, we know that. he gets taken out by a u.s. navy seal team and special operators. and we don't exploit the information, and now a year later we've banned the kind of operations that were launched to get him and the guys that are being run georgia off the uav's. jon: that is the headline we wanted to talk to you about, paragraph 6b of that eight-page deal that president obama just signed with the afghan government says, the united states further pledges not to use afghan territory or facilities as a launching point for attacks against other countries . does that mean no more drone strikes? >> it certainly sounds like it to me. that's why i've been saying for days now, stop talkin

brennan, the counterterrorism adviser, was frank in talking about this, but i think it's pretty easy to imagine that there were security reasons why he might have wanted to say something that was temporarily misleading the public in order to assure public safety. so i wouldn't expect mitt romney would take that line. i think he's more likely to take the line that we have been around the world unfriendly to our friends and have tried unsuccessfully to appease nations which are unfriendly to us or adversary to us. and that's more of what i'd expect from him. jon: generally, you're talking about nations like poland and the czech republic? >> well, that's right. you've got, for example, this administration removed missile defense installations, canceled them in poland and the czech republic who are our nato allies, who have supplied troops in afghanistan and elsewhere to fight alongside ours. they did it in the middle -- they bounced to the leaders of that in the middle of the night. it was an attempt to appease russia, to achieve the so-called reset, and i think mitt romney's going to char

targeted killings because john brennan is in the room and it's like having a quote priest in the room. if that's not a definition of executive authority, i don't know what is. maybe we should have the pope in there approving the list. megyn: how does president obama get away with this terror program without getting anywhere near the amount of flack that your former boss did? >> because the media who created obama is not going to be the media who takes him down. i agree that the obama of 2008 is not the obama we have today. the person who wants to be known as a man of peace and a man who could bring countries together is not the same guy as we have as president who now wants to be known as even executioner. i wonder if the nobel peace prize committee would have awarded that prize to the obama of today. he even called the meetings terror tuesday. the fact that he has a kill list. he has his campaign manager in on making calls as to what terrorist lives and what terrorist dies. my nephew was lost on 9/11. i have every confidence our country is doing everything they can to take on terrori

, targeting two provinces that has come under the sway of al-qaeda. advisor john brennan is visiting yemen to meet with their new president. our power panel is back. judy i'm going to start with you on this. how much of a problem is this? >> this is terrible problem for the administration. you know some conservatives accuse the administration of doing a victory lap. it was quite the opposite. the administration did everything to keep the lid on the details of the story and a double agent that kept many americans from being blown up in airplanes was compromised because of it. it's a huge, huge problem. there is department of justice investigation into who leaked the information. now because i to protect someone that classified information. i'm not a big fan of leak investigations but if there was ever a reason to keep an operation secret, this was it. >> because it put current missions in jeopardy. >> that is the bad news, when you have leaks like this, who wants to be an agent that provide information known that their cover could be blown and could be compromised. the good news we need to

national security advisor, brennan promising to continue supporting yemen with military trainers and financial aid. al-qaeda militants have a strong hold in remote parts of yemen and controlled shadow government in some tribal areas there. the potential for peace in afghanistan achfter a decade of war, one gun opening fire on a kabul street. killing a member of the peace council and the victim had key ties to the taliban and afghan government and was actively trying to bring both sides to the negotiating table and his death could have a big on international efforts. and what does it mean for the united states going forward? connell powell on the ground from afghanistan's capital city how. >> and the death is a real blow to the overall peace process here in afghanistan. and ramney was a former taliban minister when the taliban were in power in f afghanistan. he was a senator, he's a member of a council and somebody who has president karzai's ear because of his longstanding relationship with the old regime and the taliban power base that is in pakistan. he knows, all of the former tali

confirmation by john brennan, the security chief about the drone. so we are talking openly about the drones. he had the times cover, they took the story from every single possible angle to sell -- salute this anniversary. then you had what was truly the low point of the week. and that was an nbc documentary, naerated by brian williams, called inside the situation room. he took you into the situation room and where they watched the raid and talked to many members of the administration, including the president. this truly was, as i say, the low point. it was such an exercise in grandiosity and such a total omission of any kind of journalistic sensibility. i tell that you glen greenwald of salon.com, not a right-wing organization said hagiography, in its purist, most propagandistic and most subservient form. and even admiral mcmullen, former chairman of the joint chiefs saying that he hopes and that the seals hope that this whole raid will not be spun into politics. well, it already has been. senator bob kerry, former senator bob ker frenebraska, who will probably seek his seat agai

has been diminished by u.s. actions. here is white house terrorism advisor john brennan. >> despite the great progress we made against al qaeda it would a mistake to believe this threat has passed. al qaeda and associated forces still have the intent to attack the united states. and we have seen lone individuals including american citizens, often inspired by al qaeda's murderous ideology kill innocent americans and seek to do us harm. >> reporter: brennan says the al qaeda affiliate in yemen continues to be the most active arm of the terrorist group. martha? martha: thank you, steve centanni in washington. bill: there is new fallout from the secret service prostitution scandal out of colombia. this week 100 agent will take part in a two-day ethics training course. professors from john hopkins university, they will lead the training. last week you remember the secret service announced new rules of conduct for its agents. agents will not be able to bring foreigners to their hotel rooms and not be allowed to drink excessively before reporting for duty which might be --. martha: sounds

government source telling fox news white house counterterrorism advisor john brennan and homeland security secretary janet napolitano indicated in their briefings monday night the information was not revealed earlier because the administration did not want to compromise sources and methods. >> the plot itself indicates that these terrorists keep trying. they keep trying to device more and more perverse and terrible ways to kill innocent people! >> and the government source familiar with the intelligence tells fox news the operation is ongoing and it involves other countries as well. the source adds there is a second threat stream coming out of the middle east involving body bombs that are counterterrorism agencies are very concerned about and will stay vigilant. >> you have to keep in mind the state department, a spokesperson there less than two weeks ago said the war on terror is over. line that up with the month of april when they knew exactedly about this plot. you have to believe that somebody in the state department would have known about this plot. i mean, it's unbelievable to me the

terrorism advisor john brennan. there's no one in the agency, for example, that's going to leak anything about what happened in yemen. it was too good an operation. it was too closely run with two allied services, and this is just, it's children's hour in terms of the white house and how it's handling intelligence information. both after the killing of bin laden and certainly in the last week. you'd have to be a fool to believe that all of these events and leaks that occurred were coincidences. this is a tawdry political campaign conducted by a very tawdry politician. >> michael sawyer, former head of the bin laden unit. thank you. >> yes, sir. >> dave: next, when it comes to vaccinating your kids. should the the government be the one calling the shots? we'll debate that. and if you haven't gotten mom a gift. it's not too late. we've got last minute do it yourself ideas that you can whip up today with the kids. and still earning you some points. ♪ >> a story all parents should hear now. washington state is in the middle of the worst outbreak of whooping cough in decades. and o
