>> i was saying somebody just emailed me another slogan which emphasizes gretchen. >> we love a million of them. it's really good. >> can't do that. stay away from those. let's get to the headlines this morning. his prius accelerated out of control hitting 94 miles an hour on a california freeway. this morning the national highway traffic safety administration and toyota itself is investigating why james sykes' car started speeding up on its own and a new 911 call details the terrifying ride. >> put the car in neutral, sir? >> no. >> no. >> you tried to put it in neutral? >> i'm trying to control the car. >> after 23 minutes and with the help of a police officer, sykes managed to coast to a stop somehow and toyota announcing it's expanding a recall now on its tundra pickup trucks, all 2000 and 2003 models are being recalled for rust problems. who cares about the rust? i'm more concerned about the speed thing. but anyway, iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad firing back at defense secretary robert gates saying it's the u.s. playing the double game in afghanistan fighting terrorists it once deported. new video of ahmadinejad visiting with the afghan president karzai. secretary gates accused iran earlier this week of playing a double game by trying to have a good relationship with afghanistan while helping the taliban. gates headed back to the u.s. after finishing a tour of u.s. bases around afghanistan. today's hearing for the judge now postponed after a prosecutor from his home state called him a judicial loose cannon. he gained notoriety five years ago for trying to fight the execution of convicted serial killer and rapist michael roth known as the roadside strangler. some are concerned he may be biased, in favor of sex offenders. former cbs news producer robert halderman facing six months behind bars for trying to extort david letterman and he'll have to perform 1,000 hours of community service after pleading guilty. >> i apologized to mr. letterman, his family, to stephanie burkett, her family and to my friends and family. >> last night, letterman talked about the case on his show. >> now, i've never been involved in anything like this in my life and i was concerned and full of anxiety and nervous and worried and the people in the district attorney's office said this will be handled professionally, this will be handled skillfully and appropriately. well, the matter was resolved today. and they were exactly right. it was handled professionally, skillfully and appropriately. >> halderman is set to be sentenced in may. is jeff bower about to call it quits? several reports say fox television is ready to say farewell to "24" after this season. they cite rising production costs and a dip in ratings. an official announcement expected tomorrow. those are the headlines for wednesday. a lot of people will be disappointed. there's a cult out there for "24." >> remember the first headline the president put out, it was we're going to close gitmo in a year. and one of the ones he brought out, we want health care done by august. >> how did that work out? >> didn't work out. >> now they're going to send another deadline for march 18th to get health care done. >> we've been hearing this deadline for a week or so because of the president of united states is going on a whirlwind tour, going to indonesia and also going to go to australia. and indonesia. he might stop at guam. do they have a deadline on that? anyway, yesterday, rahm emanuel was having a meeting with top democrats. and the good news is rahm emanuel was wearing clothes. >> finally! >> but some of the democrats made it very clear, white house, stop with the deadline deal. here's henry waxman. >> i was at a meeting with rahm emanuel and he was certainly informed that we don't feel that we want any deadline assigned to us. we want to pass the bill, we want to make sure it's the way it should be. and as soon as possible. but we don't feel that we have to have any particular deadline. >> because they don't have the votes yet. >> this is a huge oopsy daisy for the white house and capitol hill. i mean, you cannot put out a deadline unless you told the most important people putting together this whole puzzle that there actually is a deadline. we have the house majority leader steny hoyer yesterday saying to reporters off camera, i never heard about this deadline thing. that's a problem. you have to at least come together on dates. there's enough complicated, messy stuff in the whole health care thing that people can't agree upon. you at least have to come together on dates. >> i'd like a deadline. i'm sick of talking about it. can we please have a deadline? and by the way, what they're saying is it's a practical deadline. i side with the white house on this because they know what's going to happen. if they're going to get it passed and people go home for pa passover and easter, they'll get blasted again. he's going away, as you mentioned. together, he thought that was a good date. nobody on the democratic side including senate budget committee chairman conrad thought deadlines was a good idea. he felt that way for years. other big news regarding the president and another branch of government. >> we'll talk about john roberts made some extraordinary comments at alabama to some law students and it's interesting, let's take you back to the state of the union address back in january. remember, the president seemed to be scolding the chief justices of the united states of america. >> seemed to be? >> yes, seemed to be. he was. >> it was a democratic pep rally standing up behind the chief justices and according to protocol, they can't do anything except sit there in silence. >> with all due deference to separation of powers, last week, the court reversed a century of law that i believe will open a flood gates for special interests including foreign corporations to spend without limit in our elections. >> ridiculous. >> see, there they're standing and then sam alito at one point now famously mouthed not true and what the president was talking about was the citizens united decision which clearly he did not agree with and gretchen, you're right. you can see those guys and they are surrounded by a whole bunch of democrats standing up yesterday. chuck -- chief justice john roberts was at the university of alabama at the law school and took a question from a student asking about that and here's how he responded. he said the image of having members of one branch of government standing up literally surrounding the supreme court, cheering and hollering while the court, according to the requirements of protocol have to sit there expressionless, i think it's very troubling. >> it was an uncomfortable moment no matter where you fall on the supreme court decision and this is the case, it was very close. 5-4 and basically, what it did, it allowed corporations to have the free speech right to spend unlimited sums to elect candidates for office. if you agree with that or don't agree with that, the protocol for the supreme court, you know, you hardly would see them give interviews and apparently, they have to sit there at the state of the union and not show any expression. it's just troubling. i agree with the chief justice. it's troubling to have that kind of behavior going on in and around you and not being able to react. >> they have to be separate. they got to make their own decisions free of politics and how does it look to sit there and get -- maybe that will be in the back of their mind when they make a decision. i have the state of union in two weeks, i don't know if i want to be humiliated and i don't know if they should show up next time. robert gibbs was asked about this. here's what he said. what is troubling is this decision to hope the flood gates for corporations and special interests support money into elections drowning out the voices of average americans. the president has been committed to undoing the influence of special interests. that's why he spoke out and condemned the decision and is working on congress on a legislative response. excuse me, sir, you're ducking the question. should you have said it then and at that time and do you understand why the chief justice is a little unnerved by that. >> here's the thing. a lot of people forget this. in the state of the union chamber, you have three equal branches of government, the judicial is equal to legislative and for them to sit there. if i were them, i wouldn't show up. i don't believe they are mandated to do just that. what do you think? should they show up at the state of the union? email us at foxnews.com. >> use the same thing with the oscars, seat fillers. >> in robes. >> in robes. >> or -- sitting in for chief justice roberts. >> thinking about the other probability, they could change protocol. they could stand up and yip and holler and go yeah, president. what about that? say that, too. only if you're from minnesota. >> circle one at home. >> let us know. >> it's about 10 minutes after the top of the hour and we have got a fox news alert. a suburban mother charged with a sickening crime. using the internet to recruit american jihadist fighters to commit murder and this morning, we're learning new details about the woman who calls herself jihad jane. >> yep, joining us from philadelphia is steve keely of wtfx. what have you learned about this woman? what does she do? when did the feds get on to her? >> well, she wasn't exactly hiding her plot or her plans or her wannabe terrorist activities. what we learned is she's been at the federal prison in philadelphia since october and what happened was the f.b.i. got on to her because she was right on myspace and she had that comical self-given screen name, jihad jane and then started writing an anti-jewish, and anti-american messages. she had some you tube postings about wanting to help muslims anyway she could and so the f.b.i. first talked to her last july 16th. they say she lied when they asked her, did you write all this? is this you? even though the f.b.i. is on to her, a month later, last august, she flies to europe and indictment says "she had the intent to li and train with jihadists and find and kill a swedish editorial cartoonist, lars vilkes." he drew the prophet muhammad on the body of a dog and he had a lot of death threats after that. as soon as she comes back to philadelphia, in october, at -- at the airport, as soon as she gets off the plane, they harassed her and they keep her case under seal while agencies over in europe continue to investigate under cover. the case becomes public this week because police over in ireland arrested seven other muslim jihadist sympathizers. three more women, four guys with mroting to kill this cartoonist. that's how this case became public. you can call this woman the ultimate desperate housewife. she wrote on her myspace page and the authorities here confirm it, she was born in michigan. spent a lot of years in texas, was divorced, no kids, no job, no occupation that anybody knows about, for some reason, she moves here to suburban philadelphia in 2004. led a very unassuming life in an apartment building on main street. nobody even noticed her until now when we find all this out from federal authorities. >> all right. steve keely reporting live from the philadelphia area. thank you very much. it's interesting, apparently she lived with a guy and stole his passport to give to a terrorist. >> that will cost -- >> this is exactly what so many americans have been fearful of, one of our own who doesn't assume the normal stereotypical jihadist look would actually turn and here we are. >> she offered to marry a jihadist so he could get a passport and travel europe to facilitate facilitate the murder of the cartoonist. >> it wouldn't have been true love. >> a new ad drawing fire from both sides, attacking americans for defending gitmo. is it wrong to question their patriotism and -- >> democratic congressman eric massa says he quit over a tickle fight with another guy? >> yeah. >> hear his defense from massa himself. i'll watch a tickle fight now between brian and steve. >> i don't think so. i learned my lesson. >> we had it in the green room.

>> the controversial ad from a conservative advocacy group keep america safe is drawing fire from both sides of the aisle for questioning the values of terror detainee lawyers. but where was the outrage when president bush administration's lawyers were persecuted for defending america against terrorists by others. the former chief white house chief speechwriter and author of the best selling book "courting disaster" talked about all this and more. first off, mark, do you think -- do you think it's wrong to defend criminals? if you're a defense lawyer for a bad guy whether it's sammy the bull or john gotti, does that make you bad? is that what they're doing? >> no, but they -- first of all, what these people did, most of them, was not defend people who were in the criminal justice system. sixth amendment says if you're accused of a crime, you get to have legal representation. what these people were doing, most of them, was trying to spring terrorists out of guantanamo who were held under the laws of war. send them back to the battlefield where they have evidence they killed americans. even if we know they'll go out and kill americans, we should still release them. >> what happened is in a few months ago, back in the fall, senator grassley says excuse me, attorney general holder, could you tell me about some of the justices -- some of the lawyers working for you in the justice department because i think nine of them are somehow linked to defending gitmo detainees whether supporting them or actually defending them. he wouldn't give the names. when he finally did, he says there's nine. here are two of the names. >> that's exactly right. he stone walled for three months. these are legitimate questions. if you heard that mob lawyers were in the justice department, had been hired in the justice department to defend -- to handle mob cases or drug cartel lawyers had been hired to do drug cases, wouldn't you know who they were and what they were working on? >> absolutely. they came out and posted on the web site and said let's unearth these names and bring the name out and condemn these people at which time people like ken starr said it was wrong for the group to do that. >> i don't understand why ken starr and other people have done that. one internet ad asking a legitimate question, people say yeah, she called them al-qaida lawyers. people who represent mob bosses, we call them mob lawyers. these people represented al-qaida terrorists and supposedly they're proud of what they did. why not call them al-qaida lawyers but the point is, you know, david addington they didn't try to get transparency. they tried to destroy their lives. where were the left wing groups coming out and saying the persecution of john hue is unamerican. it's hypocrisy. >> and double standard of the al-qaida seven. that's going to continue to develop. liz cheney is not one to shrink away when confronted. thanks for joining us this morning. new polls show americans less respected in the world. kind of surprising given the president's global acclaim. well, we'll take a closer look and then fishermen are really mad at the obama administration. they can be putting some prime fishing spots off-limits. moisture a favorite among dermatologists?

"you focus on the two decades from 1988 to 2008. you said that was pivotal in american history. in what way? >> yeah, they really were. it was a big test particularly in the last administration of george w. bush. and what i pause on are the debates about the war in iraq and now it seems, gretchen, it's unanimous, isn't it? did you see the cover of "newsweek" victory at last, democracy takes hold in iraq. this was not always the position of the people who were opposed to president bush. so i think it was a pivotal point for the united states in terms of entering into a new world where a lot of people thought the 1990's war was over, we were in post historical period and now we find ourselves in a long struggle again. would the u.s. be up to it? that's the question. it's still the question. i think it is if it's well led. >> you take a clever look at what happens in 20 years. 20 years ago, if you would have emailed me, they would have sit there and said what? back then, it was that big river down south. >> that's right. ipod, www, google me. none of those things meant anything. to some of us, it still doesn't mean anything. but you know what i'm talking aboutme about. a lot happened in 20 years. >> check it out. the great bill bennett, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thanks, guys. thanks very much. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show, he's ruining the economy? and about to drain your bank account? stu varney up next with who he -- you're draining brian's bank account? anyway, he says he knows who to blame and i'm not sure who it's going to be. i'm waiting to see what stu said. >> stu, just don't tickle brian. he's been asking for that all day. >> i know. >> speaking of tickling, former congressman eric massa sits down with glenn beck and glenn finds himself agonizing when the interview is over. also, we'll tell you what he said about tickling. >> and drug tests for dog sleds? you have to hear this one. >> and before we leave you, it's happy birthday day to carrie underwood. she is 27 today. happy birthday, carrie.

>> 4:15 this afternoon when the ratings come out, glenn beck is going to have an astronomical number from nielsen. he had one guest, former congressman eric massa from new york and he was going to do some explaining about exactly what happened. what was the deal with naked rahm emanuel up in the showers on capitol hill? what is the deal with the back room dealings of washington, d.c.? >> was your stats on health care the main reason you have an ethics investigation breathing down your neck that forced you from congress? did you indeed have a choice? glenn beck could not get to the bottom of why is he leaving. he kept saying i'm listening to you explain to me why you're leaving but i can't understand still why you're leaving. is it all about that no vote when it comes to health care because it wasn't liberal enough as maybe dennis kucinich feels the same way. about the big fight, naked rahm emanuel without a towel around his tush coming up to him yelling at him, pointing at him, while he sat there naked yelling at him because of how he voted. here is the story according to the congressman with glenn beck yesterday. >> the white house said it didn't happen. there was no naked encounter. there was nothing in the shower. >> that is not true. >> were there any witnesses? >> i have no idea. i wasn't looking around. >> tell me -- tell me what happened. >> i was in my first two months. i was in a battle about the budget. rahm was angry at me. he poked his finger in my chest while i was taking a shower. it's exactly -- i mean, i've gone through this on the radio show. not only did it happen, i'll never forget it! rahm emanuel hates me. he doesn't like me. >> well, i don't think you can -- if it was two people in the shower, we're never going to know. >> there's no shower curtains. >> probably could figure that out, whether or not there's shower curtains or not but to me, this congressman has a problem with sticking to whatever story he appears to be telling on whatever particular day or whatever particular hour. he seems to be back tracking and the frustration for glenn beck was trying to get to the bottom of it. when he booked this interview, he thought eric massa was going to talk about corruption in washington, d.c. that's what frustrated glenn beck and he asked him a lot about the allegations about sexual misconduct which by the way, a big article came out an hour and a half before the interview, timing of that was interesting and here is what massa had to say about his alleged inappropriate behavior with other men. >> now they're saying i groped a male staffer. yeah. i did. not only did i grope him, i tickled him i couldn't breathe. it was my 50th birthday. it was kill the old guy. you can take any -- >> yeah. ok, so that was -- >> when i turn 50, let's not play that. ok? can we have a pledge here in the studio? >> initially, what he said now seemingly over a week ago, he said he was going to not seek re-election because of his health problems and in fact, at one point yesterday, he held up an x-ray that showed a great big growth that he had inside him. and then he was talking about all these allegations and stuff like that. at the end of the hour, glenn beck apparently felt that he did not get what he was going for and offered this amazing bit of little tv. >> america, i'm going to shoot straight with you. i think i've wasted your time. i think this is the first time i have wasted an hour of your time. and i apologize for that. because i think we could have spent a lot less time you back tracking a lot. you're a lot -- >> i'm not back tracking! i'm telling you what happened. >> corruption and you don't really have anything except what i say. you don't -- you're now apologizing to rahm emanuel. >> that was sarcastic, glenn. >> ok. did you get that? >> i didn't. no, i didn't. >> well, see, i don't think it was a waste of time because for an hour, you got to actually see that guy and he answered the questions the way he was going to answer the questions and now everybody -- you know our slogan, we report, you decide. i think a lot of people made up their minds whether or not he was being truthful and his story after watching that. so glenn, i don't think was -- >> i don't either. i have to say when he said that, i almost fell off the elliptical machine. i was trying to finish my workout and i was watching it and it was really giving me a lot of inspiration to stay out there and he said i wish -- i was like whoa, leave it to glenn to get your attention. >> unless you've been working out during the interview, you've wasted an hour of your lie. unlike gretchen carlson who was burning a bunch of calories. >> stuart varney is coming up in a minute. are you going to waste our time? >> never! >> he's with us in a moment. >> first, your headlines. let's start with this story. names on the government's no fly list have reportedly doubled since a man allegedly tried to blow up that detroit bound airline with those exploding underpants and intelligence official says the list has grown from about 3400 to 6,000 names. the list now includes people associated with al-qaida's branch in yemen as well as those with potential ties to alleged underwear bomber and we'll see if that is indeed accurate or if we get more complaints from 12-year-olds saying my child cannot fly with his parents. >> vice president joe biden in ramallah meeting with palestinian prime minister and president abbas trying to patch ties between israel and the obama administration. yesterday, israel unveiled plans for new housing in disputed jerusalem. a surprise step that embarrassed and angered biden. biden condemning that decision. >> that was supposed to be the area which was going to be the palestinian capital. >> yeah. and to show his displeasure, he wound up going to dinner at the prime minister's house 90 minutes late. >> wow. >> to send a message. meanwhile, john edwards' former aide may soon be sent to jail for contempt. andrew young who has been on this program a couple of times has until friday to explain how he handled numerous items belonging to edwards' former mistress rielle hunter. i don't know if she's former or not. >> i don't know either. >> alleged former mistress. that covers it all. the big thing is a sex tape featuring edwards and a woman believed to be hunter. an alleged tape, i should say. young says he showed the alleged tape to a few people but already turned in as many copies as he had. young's attorney chalked up discrepancies in his testimony to memory lapses. there you go. >> is the obama administration looking to curb your right to go fishing? the u.n. is proposing using u.s. guidelines to expand a type of zoning to coastal and inland watereds. fishermen worried their favorite fishing holes may soon be off-limits. of those who support the changes say interagency ocean policy task force will ultimately benefit the fishing public by managing ecosystems in their entirety. i'll go with that again. hopefully we can still get fluke because fluke season is coming up. >> how about carp? >> i've been anti-carp. >> all right, fine. how do you feel about nascar? >> i'm going to tell you more about it, i guess. nascar great carl edwards on probation now. nascar says edwards, this is steve's favorite video has to sit out for three races for deliberately causing the airborne crash on sunday. and edwards will still be able to race in sprint cup and nationwide series but will be monitored by nascar through april 10th. some say the punishment is too mild but the guy who flew into the stands supports it. let's talk dogs. you know things are bad in sports when even mushers in sled dog races aren't safe from drug testing. iditarod organizers say every human competitor, humans will be tested for alcohol and i will ly illegal drugs on the trail for the first time in history. no word on whether the route -- the testing will happen. so we have no idea if it will happen before the race, during the race or maybe during a -- a musher who tests positive will be disqualified. dogs who drive the sleds, however, are exempt from any random testing. >> why? why are the dogs exempt? >> they should be. to tell you the truth -- >> dog exemption. >> if the drivers have a few in them, i want to know the dogs aren't on steroids. i want to know they're not on hgh. >> you might be interested in testing horses for horse racing. that's a whole another subject. anyway, president obama has continually promised not to raise taxes on the middle class. remember that was his campaign pledge but apparently, leaders in congress did not get that memo. >> now, according to the joint tax commission, the proposed senate health care plan would not only raise taxes on 73 million people making it a $200,000 but only 7% would benefit from it. stuart varney of the fox business network is here. these numbers that came out yesterday are interesting because we -- the president has promised, if you make less than like a quarter of a million dollars, your taxes are not going to go up. there it is right there, they will. >> you say this is interesting? it's a bombshell, steve. the real problem with health care reform is nobody understands it. b, we don't trust the cost. this report says tens of millions of middle-class people, middle america, making way under $200,000 a year. they will have their taxes raised in order to subsidize maybe 13 million people who have lower incomes. it's -- as senator grassley said on the floor yesterday of the senate, this is health care but it's also wealth redistribution. it's a straight forward take from this, give to that. >> most people would assume that wealth redistribution is from the rich and that's always up for definition. but rich to the poor. and what you're arguing is this is middle class to the poor. >> i'm not arguing that. this is what the joint committee on taxation says. making less than -- this is what they say. here's the numbers. by 2019, this committee says that 42 million families that make less than $200,000 a year will be paying more in taxes and that more in taxes money will go to subsidize 13 million lower income people. straight forward, take from the middle class and give to lower income people, call it health care reform. >> you know, doug shoen and rossmussen did a study together and they said that 78% of those middle-class people, looking into the health care plan believe it's going to result in higher taxes for them. they're on to this. that is why the american public in the last four months has not changed their view. the majority are not for this plan and they don't want to do what nancy pelosi says and that's pass it and find out what's in it. >> i think it's worse than that. i think public opinion is running more and more against this plan. the more they find out about the cost of it, the less people like it. that's the situation now. >> and that's why the white house says, yeah, we got that deadline march 18th. let's have a little bit up here. >> expanded a little bit. soft deadline now. >> it's a little squishy, stu. >> i think so. >> it's unknown. >> thank you, sir. >> calling me squishy, is that what you said? >> i said squishy and i called you stu. >> what is this show, ambush? >> now i'm going to tickle you! >> we'll watch varney and company every day at 9:20 on the fox business network. >> school board in texas in charge of what's in your kids' textbooks. who are these people exactly? we found out one didn't even graduate college. tucker carlson up next with what else he discovered. >> is the government getting ready to make a huge land grab, take property away from people? apparently the answer is yes. and that's up next. when you're living with bipolar depression... ...it's easy to feel like you're fading into the background. that's because bipolar depression doesn't just affect you. it can consume you. one option proven effective to treat bipolar depression... is seroquel xr. for many, it's one pill, once a day. here is some important safety information you should be aware of. call your doctor if you have unusual changes in mood, behavior... ...or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children... ...teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking seroquel xr have an increased risk of death. call your doctor if you develop fever... ...stiff mcles, and confusion as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction... ...or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with seroquel xr and medicines like it... ...and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. tell your doctor if you have a history of low white ood cell count... ...or seizures. your doctor should check for cataracts. other risks include increased cholesterol and triglycerides, weight gain... ...dizziness on standing, drowsiness, impaired judgment, and trouble swallong. use caution before driving or operating machinery. learn more about bipolar depression and questions to ask your doctor at seroquelxr.com bipolar depression... ...doesn't have to consume you. take the step today and ask your doctor... ...whether seroquel xr is... ...right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. >> we have been telling you about a next book controversy brewing down in texas that could affect what children all across the country learn about history and social studies. more than 150 parents, teachers and activists have signed up to voice their concerns today in the hearing down in austin on the issue. among the biggest concerns that people have, deciding what stays in and what's left out of the textbooks. fox news contributor tucker carlson has been following the story for months. now, tucker, the reason people should worry about what's going on in texas is the fact that the texas books are bought by 47 of the 50 states in the united states. >> that's exactly right. >> so kids all over the place read the stuff. what is the main thing that you think -- i mean, both sides of the political spectrum are lined up. what is it that the left is the most worried about regarding today's decisions? >> well, the majority of the over -- the board that oversees this, the 15 member board is republican and they are furious that there may be a reduction in the level of left wing propaganda in textbooks so, for instance, some of the conservatives on the board have fought back against the inclusion of a very minor league left wing, united farm workers activists no one has ever heard of, they're convinced kids should worship at the shrine, members of the board have said no. members of the board have said look, communists actually did infiltrate the united states government after the second world war. mccarthy may have been a demagogue but he was right to that extent. >> no, that's outrageous! you can't say that! so right. >> let's talk about some of the people who were on the board. rick augusto is a democrat and secretary for the state board of education and he serves on the $30 billion school, finance, permanent school fund. he's the president and c.e.o. of a financial sales and marketing firm. is that a good guy to have on the board? >> you know, this board is very much a citizen board. i mean, augusto has taken some heat, he and another member for accepting gifts that appear to be a conflict of interest, you know, there are a lot of companies that are do business in the state with textbook manufacturers, etc., but basically, this is a group of people that, you know, there are very few true education experts or scholars represented. they're kind of ordinary and so they are kind of a good representation outside of the state as far as i can tell. >> a woman by the name of geraldine miller goes by the nickname teensy served on the state board of education since 1984 including four years of service as the chair and services on the committee of instruction reading and she's a specialist for children with dyslexia and she's a real estate broker and the vice chairman of a company down in dallas. >> that's right. and she is kind of the last figure from the culture wars of the 1980's. she is associated with christian conservatives. she has been a real target of attack from the left and they've painted this picture of her as a right wing extremist. my own view is that's probably not all accurate but she's kind of the poster person on the left for right wing overreach. you know, this debate is very much a national debate and it just gets blown way, way out of proportion. we're going to find out at the end of today who is going to be included and who is not going to be. but the fact that thomas edison and albert einstein are being removed from books in favor of people who you have never heard of for good reason tells you a lot. >> yeah. people should be concerned. we would like all of the history, not just an edited version. tucker, always a pressure. we'll be watching what happens today down in austin. meanwhile, straight ahead, the obama administration wants to take control of millions of acres of land. now those states are getting ready to fight back. congressman rob bishop of utah is here to tell us how. and you think you know karl rove?

>> well, we have made sure that first of all, we've outted the situation to make sure it's public and we've got a commitment from the administration at least on this time that they were going to do anything that they will do it in public way. and do it better process. but we've introduced some legislation to try to reform the process in the future to make it more open so the states have some say in what happens in their own states. >> right. because congressman, you argue in this case, they have way too much power but here's your other allegation. are you saying that environmentalists are in bed with the administration and that they say they want to put up national monuments but in fact, they want to keep land away from being able to be refined for resources? >> that's one of the concerns that we have. in fact, if you take this land and you change it from the multiple use it's used for now, maximum benefit for americans and put it into a monument status, it's much more restrictive and much of that land does have energy potential so i don't want to ascribe motives but it's one of those things that's feared. >> why don't you take a look right now at the difference here. we have a little map put together of land owned by the federal government and that is in red and that's out west. that is a lot of land. is that part of the reason why you put together the creation of the 10th amendment task force to get some power back to the states? >> kind of makes an interesting comment on the idea of equal footing for all states. but yeah, the problem is the western states have almost half of the land owned by the federal government. nationwide, one out of every three acres is owned by the federal government. that's not the way it was intended to be originally. and that's one of the reasons why we are very sensitive to how the federal government wants to designate land and what purposes. we think land should be used to benefit the most -- the maximum amount of american citizens. monument status does not do that. >> it's a very interesting argument, obviously, those western states, the largest sources of energy resources so very interesting discussion, congressman bob bishop, republican of utah, thanks for being our guest. >> thank you for having me. >> that's the big announcement, creation of the 10th amendment task force. meanwhile, the president hands out a deadline for dems to deliver health care reform but some dems say that's not helping, it's hurting. >> karl rove telling all about what went on behind scenes. he's here live at the top of the hour. >> stuff he wouldn't tell us behind the scenes. >> come on in. they're made from whole roasted nuts and dipped in creamy peanut butter, making your craving for a sweet & salty bar irresistible, by nature valley. you need listerine® whitening® vibrant white™ nse. the mouthwash that gets teeth four times whiter than the leading toothpaste. and kills bad breath germs. listerine® whitening vibrant white™. rheumatoid arthritis going?

not karl rove. >> karl and i were talking in the green room because karl is helping a fox news correspondent find places to eat in austin, texas. >> exactly. exactly. i received an emergency phone call from young mr. doocy yesterday saying where can i get a good meal in austin? i've given him my restaurant choices and got first report, maudy's really was good. he thought it was very good. >> a first report. you don't believe your first report, though? >> no, i do. i know this place well. >> all right. >> you work so well under deadlines. >> exactly. >> and speaking of deadlines, the democrats now -- were you surprised when they came out yesterday and said we never heard anything about this white house deadline for health care of march 18th? >> this is how -- the what number deadline that the white house has given congress for the passage of the health care bill and i did think it showed a lot of peak when immediately when they announced what the white house said march 18th, steny hoyer came out and said that's not our deadline and then yesterday, congressman waxman took a deliberate, you know, swipe at the white house saying it ain't our deadline. >> in fact, we've got that soundbite, karl, would you like to hear it? >> excellent. i'd love to hear it. >> roll it for karl. >> i was at a meeting with rahm emanuel and he was certainly informed that we don't feel that we want any deadline assigned to us. we want to pass the bill. we want to make sure it's the way it should be. and as soon as possible but we don't feel that we have to have any particular deadline. >> and then they ask what the white house response was. what was the white house response? he said we don't want a deadline. they said i'll pass that on, meaning i'll pass it on to the president. >> there's tension not only between the white house and the congressional democrats but there's tension between the house democrats because there's been statements that they have to get it done before the members go home. john lawrence, the chief of staff, speaker pelosi said we got to get this done before the members go home for the easter break. otherwise, they'll get an ugly response from their constituents. >> isn't that just the longer it goes, the less people want it. >> right. right. exactly. >> the other thing -- >> the more obvious it is that they don't. >> how embarrassing is this for the white house. i mean, you've been on the inside circle there. they can't even get a date correct much less explain the entire health care reform bill. >> this is the aloof and disengaged nature of the white house. again, how many times have they set these deadlines and i don't think it is likely that they set those deadlines, you got to pass it by thanksgiving. you got to pass it -- >> you try to set a deadline. >> you got to be talking to the members of congress and the leadership of congress. >> so before you would announce something, you would go up there and say ok, we're both going to say october 12th. >> right. you have to be careful about deadlines. congress, very difficult for them to meet any deadline given the nature of the legislative process. >> study coming out of harvard has a lot of democrats worried. it's the next generation of soon-to-be voters, the voters who was in the pocket of then senator barack obama. they seem to be pulling away now. are you surprised by some of the conclusions as you take a look at some of the results. so far today, 72% of those surveyed say they approve of the job the democrats are doing in congress. 54% disapprove. they're all up for election. as opposed they've dropped six points since the fall and they've gone up six points, in disapproval since the fall. >> we've also seen a pretty dramatic shift from a group, this youngest group of voters where overwhelmingly for obama, 2-1 in the fall of 2008 and now they are rough parody between the parties among that voter group. slight leap for the democrats but this is a pretty dramatic shift and it's happened, i think, in large measure because of disappointment in what obama has done. >> it's amazing because harvard by all accounts is a bastion of liberalism. the idea that young people there who were surveyed, 18 to 29d years old, the idea that 41% now of young republicans say that they will go to the midterm elections but only 35% of young democratic voters, what does that say about this huge group who would vote for democrats in the midterm? >> we saw that in new jersey and pennsylvania and virginia last fall. we saw it in massachusetts. >> stayed home. >> they stayed home. they sat on the sidelines and part of it, i think, is because younger voters are coming to realize the bills for all the spending are going to be passed on to them. and there is a sort of natural fiscal conservativism among the younger voters that says, you know, we're living in a more restrained life financially. >> and we're not optimistic, you know, we're not hearing good things about jobs for new graduates coming on. that's going to be me. so the enthusiasm, this enthusiasm element to this study, the enthusiasm very low on the democratic side, what does that mean to somebody as a political operative like yourself? >> intensity matters a great deal. intensity was on the side of the democrats in 2008 and it brought additional people to the polls who were going to vote for obama and the democrats. the intensity was clearly on the side of the republicans in virginia, new jersey, pennsylvania, massachusetts, it brought out republicans. i mean, massachusetts was a huge election. 2.3 million people. that's going to be more people vote in the special election than are likely to vote in this fall's gubernatorial election in the state of massachusetts. intensity changed. it wasn't barack obama change, it was anti-obama change. >> one. things responsible in massachusetts was the tea party movement behind scott brown and one of the things that you have talked about extensively is you believe the tea party may be a threat to the g.o.p. more so than to the democrats. why? >> no, i have a slightly different view. my view is they're trying to figure out what they're going to do. and if they become a third party, then they will split the conservative vote and i don't see a lot of enthusiasm for that option. they could become an adjunct to the republican party which is tried like in south carolina. i think that's a bad move. it's going to diminish them. how can we continue as a movement to hold the feet of elected politicians to the fire over questions of deficit and spending. how can we become a movement that influences republicans and democrats and continue to attract democrats and republicans to our ranks? >> let's take you back to january. i know you helped the -- in fact, one of the pictures in your book is of you assisting former president bush, preparing for the state of union address. at the last state of the union address, there was one passage where the president essentially chewed out the supreme court on an item called citizens united, it had to do with campaign financing and then, you know, they were surrounded by a bunch of clapping democrats and now we know from justice john roberts, he was at the university of alabama law school and he said we've got a little clip from that and he wondered whether or not the justices should be attending. he said he's not sure why they were there. and essentially, you know, they are a co-equal branch of government and for them to get talking to by the principal, that's extraordinary. >> it is. and remember, the tradition is that members of the supreme court do not applaud. they do not respond to anything in the speech so for the president to call them out like he did and not only to call them out and scold them, but to inappropriately describe the decision. he said this allows foreign corporations to spend money on american campaigns. to me, this shows that in all likelihood, this speech was not properly staffed out. when you're president of the united states, you staff the speech out among a lot of different people throughout the government to comment on. i can't imagine that the justice department, the attorney general or the solicitor general would have said yeah, you should attack the supreme court who we have a lot of business in front of and while you're at it, misconstrue what their decision was. >> that's why alito said not true. >> absolutely. the response of the white house yesterday, i thought justice roberts waited a decent interval and gibbs jumps on him from the podium yesterday. >> first off, here's what justice roberts said. he said the image of having the members of the branch of government cheering and hollering while the court, according to the requirements of protocol sits there expressionless, i think is very troubling. robert gibbs response. what is troubling is that this decision opened the floodgates for corporations and special interests to pour money into elections drowning out the voices of average americans. the president has long been committed to reducing the undue influence of special influence and the lobbyists over government. that's why we're working with congress and the legislative response. that's not the question. the question is that appropriate? you can do whatever you want. but is that appropriate? >> i know gibbs is from alabama but he sure has picked up that chicago style politics pretty well. it's like that's a thuggish comment. look, the supreme court is responsible for interpreting the constitution. we ought to hold it in reverence and be careful about what we say particularly in that type of personal space. >> or give them the same protocol that the democrat pep rally that was going on behind them, allow the supreme court to go up and do -- >> which would be inappropriate in itself. you want the court to be restrained and for gibbs to say that sounds like he's trying to force the court into an answer. >> would you stick around and talk about your brand new book? number one on amazon right now. >> we're number one! we're number one! >> briefly. >> you will. it is juicy. i have read the big parts about it. and he's going to talk about his transition to the new administration during his time when he was with president bush and now life after. >> and all the chapters focused on me. straight ahead, stimulus dollars at work. money being used to study yoga and menopause and monkeys on cocaine. seriously. >> what's this picture?

we heard about the shovel ready projects from state to state, from city to city that are ready to go. is there an example in north carolina, for example, of shovel ready projects that are ready to go? >> in particular, wake forest, fine university. take a look at this. according to information out there by the institute, i think that's how you pronounce it. a conservative think tank. they say that $71,000 of the stimulus money is studying monkeys that are using cocaine. >> it's stimulating, steve. come on! it's a stimulus project. >> but why monkeys? why not ferret? >> i'd like to watch them buy it and find out how to stop it that way. make it a law enforcement study. >> and another 147,000, as you saw, to teach yoga in attempt to reduce hot flashes for menopausal women. >> i didn't know there was stands at yoga where you could study it. i thought if you go to yoga, you have to work out and sweat. >> maybe that's all related. anyway, that's two of the 10 projects as they -- that they had gone ahead and annotated. here is -- listen to a soundbite from somebody who is out of work and is wondering whether or not this is a good usage of our tax money. >> i think it's ridiculous. it's a waste of time, money, effort when so many people are out of work. >> i was thinking money that's supposed to be spent towards improving something. i mean, not for no monkeys. >> also, in north carolina, apparently, they're spending a quarter of a million dollars to preserve a bug collection. >> yes. >> and $50,000 for the greensboro symphony to keep the director of marketing and education in their jobs. >> because people are trying to get more their way. >> that sounds reasonable. some of the other crackpot things -- >> if they don't have the money, why should the money go to save that particular job when a lot of other people are losing their jobs? >> all right, 26 minutes before the top of the hour. let me tell you what's happening in the world. by the power vested in me, i'd like gretchen to read the first story. >> at least this time around at 7:34, couple of quick headlines for you. new video into the fox newsroom of vice president joe biden, he's in ramallah in the west bank today, the third day of a peace politician to the mideast. he is meeting with the palestinian prime minister and president abbas. the meeting comes after a slap to the face for biden when israel unveiled plans for new housing in disputed jerusalem. biden condemned the decision saying the timing and substance of the announcement runs counter to talks meant to build trust in the region. >> meanwhile, hundreds of construction workers at ground zero here in new york raising a rallying cry to build it now! >> finally. >> anyway, the workers gathered at the world trade center site to urge rebuilding to happen faster. construction is under way on a memorial and transit hub at one world trade but the other planned towers have stalled over a financial dispute. meanwhile, the port authority of new york and new jersey and developer larry silverstein have until friday to work out a new schedule or i'm sure there will be financial penalties. >> the nation's economists found they're a tad more optimistic about growth this year but less so far next year. they say the economy will grow 3.1% this year. and a 10th of a percent more than they said before. the economists have dropped their prediction for next year by a 10th of a percent down to 3% flat. that's a group that has not invited me in. >> terrified 7-year-old begs emergency dispatchers to send police to his home and soldiers, too. three armed robbers stormed into his home in california and threatened his mom and dad at gun point. the boy hid in the bathroom with his sister and made this call. >> can you come really fast, please? >> listen to me, i have them coming, hon. listen, ok? take a deep breath. i already have the police coming. >> oh! bring, soldiers, too. the suspects eventually broke into the bathroom and grabbed that boy, asking who he had called. he responded, truthfully saying 911. the gunmen took off without taking anything or injuring the family. wow, what a story. >> meanwhile, real quickly let's take a look at the day ahead weatherwise, widely scattered showers in the northern plains down through, as you can see, the great lakes and moving into the northeast. looks like it's going to be a little damp later on today here in the new york city area and through the mid atlantic and as well, heavy thunderstorms moving through dixieland right now. currently, they've got 60 in memphis. about 50 at hartsfield airport in atlanta. at the gulf coast, 50's and 60's. things will warm up. by the way, right now in caribou, maine, it's 19. eventually though 37. meanwhile, it will be near 70 in raleigh. that's 60 in kansas city. 75 in dallas. and as you can see, a beautiful 77 on this wednesday in tampa. >> good job coloring the map, steve. >> thank you. >> 50 years ago, a stunning seventh game home run by pittsburgh second baseman clinched the world series victory for the pirates over the new york yankees who on paper were a lot better. beneath it, a poignant story of faith and forgiveness. >> author jim moody takes a look at it in the new book. >> mr. moody is familiar to all of us, he's also the c.e.o. of news corp, a division of our parent corporation and a former senior vice president for editorial here at fox news. john, good to see you. >> thanks, steve. >> if you were going to write a book about pirates, i would think somali pirates rather than the pittsburgh pirates. >> except they didn't have the designated hitter in effect then. >> right. that's true. >> what is it about -- in particular, you focus on a guy, verne law oochlt he's the ace of the pirates staff in 1960, right-handed fastball pitcher. he was also for a time the only mormon playing in the major leagues and in 1960, he led this team to the national league pennant. the problem is the day they clinched the pennant in milwaukee which was then the home of the braves, some of the players as players do, decided they were going to celebrate the pennant victory and i believe some champagne was involved in the locker room. >> boys will be boys. >> verne, being a member of the mormon faith doesn't consume alcohol. he got on the team bus to wait for his teammates. when they arrived, some weren't walking straight as they might have and they decided to cut everybody's tie off. players used to wear ties then. they got the team trainer scissors, off came everybody's tie, but that wasn't enough for them. they decided they were going to take everybody's shirt off and take a long tail of shirts to hang out the bus on the way to the airport. now, verne wears under his shirt a garment which mormons regard as having religious significance. he didn't want that touched and when somebody grabbed him and touched his garment, he fought and verne is a big guy. 6'3", 195. when he fought, he inadvertently twisted his ankle. as a result of that, he had to change his pitching motion during the world series. now, he won two games of the world series. >> beat the yanks. >> and was taken out in the seventh game while the pirates were still ahead. but in changing his pitching motion, he tore his rotator cuff and was never the same. >> oh, my goodness. >> amazing story, john. what i loved about this book is you found this person who many people wouldn't call their hero but it's your hero for a variety of reasons. and you found him later on in the phone book. >> right. and called him up, what was his reaction to you writing this book about him? >> well, i think the most interesting thing was i was able to get his number in directory assistance, try doing that with derek jeter. he answered the phone himself and i said i'd like to talk to you and maybe do a book on your life. he said why would anybody want to do a book on my life? >> right. why write this? what does this say about you? you weave your life into this team. you were such a little kid when this happened. how does this narrate your life? >> i was 6 years old. i was growing up in pittsburgh. pittsburgh has had sometimes a bad reputation in the country. back then, it was called the smokey city. had a lot of steel production. i was growing up, there's a picture of me with my dad, i didn't know what pittsburgh was all about and whether i was ever going to like it there or whether it was going to like me and sure enough, as i began to follow the pirates, pittsburgh started to clean up its air and became a wonderful city as it is today and the pirates became a great team as they were in 1960 and it was just a coalescence of everything and i decided i'd try to remember that. >> some of the lessons this team taught you that you learned back then you applied to your life and you go back from finding courage at different times and also with your dad, your relationship with your dad. you said he wasn't a great athlete but he played baseball with you. >> he sure did. every night. >> this is a wonderful account of somebody's life who many people didn't recognize up until you did and there's so many life lessons in it. john moody, the author of "kiss it good-bye." thank you for being our guest. you wrote about the pope and the pirates. >> that's right. >> good job. all right, john, great seeing you. straight ahead, 78% of americans think the president's health care plan will raise taxes on the middle class. so are they right?

(heartbeating). >> brian: you want to keep it during the whole deadline story. see how it goes. >> steve: all right. is there a deadline? because we've heard for a while the president of the united states would like the democrats in the house to pass health care reform before he goes to indonesia and australia on march 18. there is a deadline for the white house. is there a deadline for the congress? deadline, no? here is henry waxman. >> i was at a meeting with rahm emanuel and he was certainly informed that we don't feel that we want any deadline assigned to us. we want to pass the bill. we want to make sure it's the way it should be and as soon as possible. but we don't feel we have to have any particular deadline. >> steve: to quote jack bower, they're running out of time. >> gretchen: the obama administration running out of time. why do they want to have this vote before march 18? they say it's because the president is going overseas. well, why don't we let you decide. it's also because a lot of those members of congress are going home for easter break coming up. they don't want to get all the phone calls from constituents who, by all polls, are still in the majority against this health care reform bill. >> brian: he wanted it done before the summer, before august. then he wanted it done before the fall, then before holidays in december. then it was the senate that passed it -- excuse me. the house passed it on christmas. and next thing you know, he says i want this done by the end of the holidaying. that didn't happen. then scott brown gets elected. then he decides at the state of the union address it's going to be more about jobs. then reconciliation. then he gives us the 18th and it's the democrats saying this doesn't work for us. senator conrad said, quote, any talk of deadlines is an absolute waste of time. deadlines don't work because you have so much that is out of your control. >> steve: absolutely. in fact, right now they're waiting for congressional budget office estimate for the cost of the whole reconciliation thing. it might be there today. it might be there tomorrow. once again, it's one of those things that it's out of their control. >> brian: the quote of the day has to be speaker pelosi yesterday who said, we're not going to know what's in the bill until we pass it. >> steve: that's right. hoyer said yesterdayer the only person who is talking about march 18 is mr. gibbs. >> gretchen: you think they would get their timing together, but it also smacks, doesn't it, that politicians are elitist in the sense they don't want anyone telling them what to do. no deadlines. maybe that's why they don't want to listen to their constituent ons break. coming up at 8:15, dan boren of oklahoma says he's voting against the health care plan. he will join us to tell us why. he's going to vote no. >> steve: he's a democrat. there was a democrat on the glenn beck show yesterday, eric massa, who had been a congressman from upstate new york and you know what, glenn beck said, okay, i'm gog give you a whole hour. we're going to hear the whole ball of wax. we want to know everything. one of the first things was, glenn said, now, the story that's circulating about you naked, rahm emanuel naked, he poked you in the chest, did that really happen? listen to this. >> that the white house said, it didn't happen, there was no naked encounter, there was nothing in the shower. >> that is not true. >> were there any witnesses? >> i have no idea. i wasn't looking around. >> tell me what happened. >> i was in my first two months. i was in a battle about the budget. rahm emanuel was angry at me. he poked his finger in my chest while i was shower. i've gone through this on the radio show. not only did it happen, i'll never forget it. rahm emanuel hates me. he doesn't like me. >> steve: i'm with him. if rahm emanuel did that to me, i would never forget it either. >> gretchen: it remains to be seen who is right or wrong on that 'cause we may never know. but one of the things -- >> steve: unless a witness comes forward. >> brian: one problem with the story, gretchen, is that they say there is always been shower curtains in the congressional bathroom and part of this story is there are no shower curtains in the bathroom. >> gretchen: that would be easy to prove. >> brian: right. >> gretchen: just ask, is there a shower curtain. but that's not the point of the story, is it? we moved on to either more details yesterday with glenn beck because allegations, new one, surfaced right before the interview about massa and his alleged sexual inappropriateness with male staffers and it got down to something that i never thought i would hear when i was working out. that he tickles men. >> now they're saying i groped a male staffer. yeah, i did. not only did i grope him, i tickled him 'til he couldn't breathe and he jumped on top of me. it was my 50th birthday. >> steve: so that's a new defense. we heard of the twinkie defense, now the tickle defense. that's what he offered up. also apparently, don't be surprised if we start seeing some text messages because apparently he said that he did use inappropriate language and there were a number of exchanges and so if those pop up in the next couple of days, don't be surprised. >> brian: meanwhile, the story was, i think glenn beck picked up the phone and called the congressman and said come in and do the show. and the judge told me in the green room he's going to be here to talk about another issue, said he was standing to the side to see if something was going to build, something legal was going to come out and it didn't happen. because it didn't happen, glenn beck felt pressured, actually he felt as though he had to say this about the show. >> america, i'm going to shoot straight with you. i think i've wasted your time. i think this is the first time i have wasted an hour of your time and i apologize for that, because i think we could have spent a lot less time, you backtracking a lot. you're a -- >> i'm not backtracking. i'm telling you what happened. >> you don't really have anything except what i say. you're now apologizing to rahm emanuel. >> that was sarcastic, glenn. did you get that? >> i didn't. no, i didn't. >> so glenn beck apologized for wasting time. but for a lot of people who watched it, they say that was a good investment because i heard the guy's story from his point of view and i can make my own decision. it's that whole we report, you decide thing. we actually do it. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, a suburban woman, the other big story, breaking yesterday, accused of recruiting americans to commit murder. new details about the woman who calls herself jihad jane. congressman peter king is here. >> brian: the governor keeping closer tabs on who is is flying into and out of the country. the no fly list getting bigger. >> steve: i wonder if a 12-year-old cleared that jet for takeoff. check this out, is it a beer bottle or a baby bottle? no matter what, anheuser-busch not amused. >> steve: a fox news alert. fox news confirmed that actor cory haim has died. he died in los angeles. police say there appears to be accidental and an investigation is underway. he, of course, an actor known for his '80s career as a teen idol and starred in the lost boys and license to drive. most recently he starred in a reality show called the two cories. this morning, corey haim dead in los angeles. >> brian: the fate of president obama's health care bill rests in the hands of just a few congressman and women as speaker pelosi tries to round up enough votes. nobody knows if she has them. i don't think she has. >> gretchen: dan boren among those voting against the bill. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so, how much guts does it take for a democrat in the house these days to stand up and say, i'm voting no on this thing? >> it's difficult. i was one of 39 democrats that voted no when the bill first came out of the house. obviously the senate, every democrat voted for the bill. at the end of the day. but this is, at the end of the game, this is where the ball is on the ten yard line and the team is about to score and i think it's so important that folks listen to their constituents. 17% of my constituents want this bill. a vast majority of the people do not want it. over 70% of the democrats in my district do not support this legislation. we're in the middle of a recession. we can not raise taxes in the middle of a recession. we can not create a brand-new entitlement program when we can't afford the ones we have now. i think that's what people are trying to say. >> brian: possibly. but do you know also and as you know, probably better than anyone, the administration has been saying you can destroy and bring down the president's term, first term, make him a one term president and this could be a catastrophic loss for him politically. has that been put to you? >> i don't think we need to think about politics, frankly. >> brian: congressman, excuse me for a second. have they told that to you? have they posed that question to you? >> that's been said to us all along, that oh, we have to do this because in the clinton presidency when the health care bill did not pass, it caused the 94 elections and all these other things. but frankly, let's try to do what's in the best interest of the united states and not in the best interest of the democratic party. i was elected by the people of eastern oklahoma, not one party. >> gretchen: that's admirable, but it a lot of politicians are doing it for their own skin. let me ask you this, why are there so many on the fence, because apparently they're waiting for this congressional budget office report to commute either today, tomorrow, maybe the next day, but why? you've been able to make the decision. why have others not been able to? >> i don't know. maybe people are still looking over the last parts of the bill. the president obviously had his own plan. he had the senate plan. you have the house plan and we still don't know exactly what the language is going to look like. for instance, are we going to fix the abortion language to make sure that bart stupak is taken care of? there is still moving parts here. frankly, we've been talking about this for over a career and the time to get done is now and to move to jobs. people are hurting. they're losing their homes. it's time to make sure that we get this economy moving again and stop talking about this health care bill. i know health care is an issue. we have a lot of uninsured folks in my district. there are some things we can work on, like preexisting conditions, selling insurance across state lines. we can do that in a bipartisan way and then move to jobs. >> brian: congressman dan boren, democrat out of oklahoma who is voting no, thank you for saying yes to us. >> thank you. >> brian: straight ahead. >> gretchen: he spoke of congressman stupak who will be on the show at 8:45 eastern time. peter king has been keeping tabs on terrorists. his reaction to jihad jane, tried with recruiting terrorists on-line. >> brian: find out what the super model wants to do with old wedding dress. >> gretchen: fox news alert. fox news has confirmed actor cory haim died in los angeles. he was 38 years old. police say his death appears to be accidental. an investigation underway now. known best for his career as a teen idol in the 1980s. he starred in "lost boys" and "license to drive." most recently he was on tv in a reality show called "the two cories." dead at 38. >> reportedly doubled since a man allegedly tried to blow up a detroit-bound jet on christmas day. an intelligence official says the list has grown from 400 to 6,000 names. the list now includes people associated with al-qaeda's branch in yemen and those with potential ties to alleged underwear bomber. brian. >> steve: a suburban woman charged with a sickening crime, using the internet to recruit american jihaddist fighters to commit murder. this morning we're learning new details about the woman who calls herself jihad jane, a blond herod, green eyed islam convert from pennsylvania. >> brian: is this a sign that the face of terrorism is changing? new york representative peter king is the chairman of the house homeland security committee or the ranking member. congressman king, first off, how serious -- what stands out to you about this arrest? >> first of all, as you said, brian, the changing face of terrorism. it's constantly morphing. this is not the classic middle eastern person we were looking for in the past. this is an american citizen, a woman, which is also a change. obviously a fair complexion and again, the fact is she's a citizen operating out of the united states and that she was also dealing overseas, this shows it's a constantly changing enemy. we have to always be ahead of them and shows what a diabolical enemy we face. also, the positive side here, this shows that the international infrastructure that president bush set up and president obama is continuing is working, as you can see, there were arrests in iowa yesterday. the arrest of jihad jane was in october. since then there has been a lot of cooperation with a lot of countries in europe and the middle east. it shows we are working together at a very coordinated way. >> steve: that's right. that's really good. apparently she was on-line in one of these jihady web sites and i mean, how stupid was she? she could have taken an ad out in the "washington post," she was that blatant. she was looking for people to help her kill that cartoonist who, back in 2007, drew the head of mohammed on a dog's body. but just to show you, congressman, the text tent -- extent she would go. she was living with a guy, stole his passport to give it to a terrorist so he could go over there, or she was willing to marry a terrorist so that he then would get a western passport so that he could travel freely throughout europe. >> right. also she was willing to travel to europe herself, to stake it out. again, there was international cooperation here. this was a woman, whether she's obsessed, whatever the rationale is, she was acting in a very, very dangerous way. after the fact when she's caught, it looks like she wasn't the smartest person in the world. the fact is, you don't have to be a genius to carry out murder or a hit man. the fact she was stopped is a significant victory. i give the obama administration credit. it really shows it started under bush, continuing under obama. that's what we have to work together on. >> brian: seems like a real nut job. she was arrested on october 15, authorities became aware of her in june of 08 and finally charged her yesterday. colleen larose, jihad jane. that's her handle. congressman peter king, that's your handle. thank you for joining us. >> brian, thank you. >> steve: 27 after the top of the hour on this wednesday. developing news out of hollywood, actor and teen idol cory haim dead at 38. word it may have been a drug overdose. details straight ahead. >> supreme court justice throwing barbs at the president. why he says justices shouldn't show up for the speech from now on. >> steve: a show down in texas today over textbooks that could affect what kids across the country learn, a live report from austin on the way, on wednesday, "fox & friends." >> brian: this is a fox news alert. fox news confirmed actor corey haim died at the age of 38. police say his death appears to be accidental. tmz reporting it looks to have been a drug overdose. an investigation underway. haim is known best for his career as a teen idol in the 1980s. he starred in "lost boys," and other movies. repeatedly he was star of "the two cories. >> gretchen: ahmadinejab fighting back, saying it's the u.s. ahmadinejab is visiting with president karzai. secretary gates accused iran of play ago double game by having a good relationship with afghanistan while helping the taliban. gates is heading back to the u.s. after finishing a tour of u.s. bases. >> steve: hundreds of construction workers raising a rallying cry at the world trade center site to build it now. build it now. >> build it now! >> the red tape needs to be cut for sure. >> we've got a hole in the heart of our community and it's really a national disgrace. >> steve: the workers gathered yesterday to urge rebuilding at the site to happen faster. what has taken so long down there? construction is underway for some, but stalled over money. port authority and the developer have until friday to work out a new schedule or else there will have to be other delays. >> brian: it's a travesty. christie brinkley wants to forget everything about her marriage to peter cook. we mean everything. she's getting rid of her armani wedding dress in an on-line auction. the bidding starts at $400. all proceed also benefit the american red cross. >> gretchen: i hope she doesn't want to get rid of the children. that would be everything. speaking of children, a beer bottle for your baby? a maryland company came up with a bottle that looks like a bud riser bottle. the judge thinks this is funny. now an hoosier bush is suing the -- anheuser-busch is suing, saying they infringe on its trademark. but you can't buy these anymore. they used to be sold on babies beer bottle.com. but the web site is no longer active. >> brian: what a shame. >> gretchen: more common tear, judge andrew napolitano. how are you? >> i'm fine. promise, please, don't play get the old guy. [ laughter ] >> brian: just a little tickle fight. >> steve: judge, let's talk a little bit about what's going on. remember in the state of the union address, extraordinarily, the president of the united states called out a co-equal branch of government, the justices on the supreme court and essentially said they did a bad job on that citizens united thing regarding campaign finance. now we're hearing from justice john roberts and he felt very uncomfortable that the president called him out. >> think of it, you had all three branches of government there, they are equal, except the court can nullify what the other two do if in the opinion of the court it's unconstitutional. the court did that and the president leads a pep rally and they're literally and figuratively surrounded by screaming members of congress, condemning what the court did and under the rules of the day, the court can't say anything. is that proper? in my view, no. the president shouldn't have done that in that environment. he should have saved his criticism of the court, which he's perfectly entitled to have. presidents since jefferson have been blasting the court. he should have saved it for another forum in which the justices were not forced to sit there silently. although sam aledo did whisper, it's not true. in my opinion, he was correct. >> brian: it's so rare for a judge to sit there silently. >> you know that. now we come to two days ago at the university of alabama law school where the chief justice says, it was more of a pep rally than a state of the union speech. was it appropriate for him to say that? in my opinion, no. justices are not permitted to enter a public dispute because that diminishes the credibility of the court. i agree with what the chief justice thought and said, but he should have kept his thoughts to himself. >> gretchen: you don't like my idea that they should disband -- i'm kidding, by the way, let the judges stand up and clap? >> justice scalia and thomas, anticipating this might happen, didn't attend the state of the union. so they weren't there to be berated by the president and the democrats in the congress. >> steve: let's speak historically. this is the thing where the president gives a state of the union, so people know how things are going. but is the supreme court obligated other than by tradition to show up? because after that, i don't know that i'd ever go again. >> excuse me, i think you're probably right. no, they are not obligated and by tradition, they do show up and do sit there out of courtesy it's a time when all three branches are in one room at the same time. >> gretchen: to boycott that in future, wouldn't that be a huge political statement? >> if all of them do, yes. the two anticipated something like this might happen. >> brian: judge, i know you're excited about your book, and the name is? >> "lies the government told you." myth, power and deception in american history. i hope we get to talk about it soon. >> brian: we will. >> steve: thank you very much. >> guess justice roberts won't take my calls anymore. >> steve: we have been telling you about what is going on down in austin, texas, and a controversy brewing down there over proposed changes to textbooks that could affect what version of history kids all across the country are taught. >> gretchen: hundreds of parents and teachers are speaking out today in a hearing set to start in just a few hours. and peter doocy is live in austin, texas where this is happening and you're surrounded by people. are these the teachers and parents who are going to be protesting? >> these are students and, gretchen, it might thunderstorm here, but there is a different storm brewing in this building right behind me as later today, the texas state board of education is set to hear from the public about those proposed changes to its social studies curriculum. i actually spoke to one of the teachers on the writing committee that made one of these proposed changes that are attracting so much attention and i asked, why are you doing this? why not leave everything the way that it is and she explained that every ten years, they have to go and add some things and get rid of other things because you have to keep the texts courage and age appropriate. but a lot of people are not happy with the changes that the teachers suggested or the changes that the state board of ed is trying to make and among those unhappy are these university of texas students here. what is the name of your group? >> the students for a smarter state board of education. >> you're going to march later on today. what are you hoping to accomplish? >> we're hoping that our voices are going to be heard by the state board of education. students are growing tired of the politization that the conservative members of the state board are doing. they're trying to inject their personal political opinions into our classrooms and we're fed up with it. >> you guys don't need to use these textbooks anymore. so what does it matter? >> it matters because as college students, we recently graduated from high school and we care passionately about the quality of our textbooks. that's why. >> you guys will have a lot of yellow shirts out. what do you hope that that's going to accomplish? are they going to stop doing what they're doing 'cause you guys are here? >> in the past, when people people up, sometimes the state board listens. so we as students are going to speak up and express the fact that we're not happy with the hijacking of our education by the conservative members on the state board. >> what about the liberal members? >> the liberal and moderate members in my opinion, are doing a fine job and are not causing any commotion. it's really the conservative members that are hijacking the political process here. >> okay. and so what's specifically are they trying to do? name me one thing that they're trying to put through that you have an issue with? >> they're literally trying to politicize our education. >> a specific example. >> well, they're trying to mention, for instance, the heritage foundation. i think students need to be learning -- >> they're trying -- the liberals are trying to put in clarence darrow from the aclu. >> that's right. we need to make sure things are historically significant. not just putting things in because they're conservative. >> the aclu is more significant than the heritage foundation? >> in certain things, yes, it had a very important impact on our supreme court. >> is there anything else? >> i think what's most important here is that these conservative members on the state board are injecting their personal and political agendas into our classrooms. voters and students are fed up with it. >> all right. what time are you planning on marching from campus to here? >> we're going to march at 10:30 to the state board of education where we'll host a youth press conference. >> all right. 10:30 in the morning. i know from personal experience is a lot earlier than most college kids get up, but they're obviously passionate about the subject and we'll hear more from them later. >> steve: peter doocy reporting live from outside the texas board of education building where they'll have the hearing and the thing about this particular exercise, what they're doing is, the changes they make will be felt in textbooks for the next ten years all across the country because 47 of the 50 states use the texas textbooks. >> brian: i don't know if it's a conservative line of thought that they want to put washington in. >> steve: those are suggestions people have made along the way. it will be interesting to see what happens. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, a big guess, is there or isn't there a compromise on abortion in the health care bill? the man at the center of it all, congressman bart stupak here next. >> steve: then, a wedding full of more drama than a high school actor club. regina king reveals here live with some juicy details from her new movie, "our family wedding." looks very funny. she's coming up. >> gretchen: welcome back. the abortion issue could decide the fate of the entire health care overhaul bill. opponents of the current abortion language want a deal to change it before agreeing to vote for health care reform. michigan democrat bart stupak is leading that fight. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. >> gretchen: i don't know who you're more popular with right now, republicans who don't want health care reform to go through, or conservative democrats who don't want it to go through for different reasons. but you are holding your feet to the fire on the abortion language. we heard yesterday you had reached a compromise. set the record straight for us, did you? >> no, no, there is no compromise with majority leader hoyer. actually the person who i've been negotiating with or i should say having a good positive discussions with has been henry waxman. he's the person they've indicated i should work with because the main health care bill came through the energy and congress committee. i sit on that with chairman waxman and we have a good working relationship and i continue to have positive discussions with him. >> gretchen: the reason that you have problems with the senate bill is because it allows federal funding for abortion, which you are staunchly against. but you're not alone. how many others have gotten with you and voted no on this unless the language changes? >> unless the language changes, there is 12 democrats who have said that they could not vote for health care unless we get to keep the current law which says no public funding for abortion. keep the hyde language that's been around for 33 years. basically it says no public funding for abortion. most americans agree with that. all the polling i've seen, 60% have said we do not want our taxpayer dollars going to fund abortion. and so we're just stick to go this principle and we would like to see health care. i want to see health care passed, but there are some principles worth fighting for. this is one. >> gretchen: will you make news with me this morning, congressman? will you say on this show that you will not take any sort of a deal to change your mind on this abortion issue? >> what i will commit to you and the rest of this country is i will continue to have discussions with the house leadership to try to resolve this issue between us. but the bottom line is there has to be no public funding for abortion. that's been the law for 33 years. the president indicates he doesn't want to change current law. then let's put current law in the bill and move forward and work on health care, which we should be working on. >> gretchen: i know you were traveling yesterday and did not see a lot of the dust over this deadline. but at the obama administration imposed on members of congress, march 18, they want this thing done. do you agree with the president putting deadlines on members of congress? >> i don't know how we can put deadlines on members of congress when the legislation, especially the president's proposals that he announced last week, those proposals have not been reduced to writing. so it's pretty hard for members to say, yes, i'll vote for or no, i won't for for this when you've never seen the proposal. so i don't like deadlines. i know we can sort of put things off and sooner or later we have to vote, but to put a deadline without having legislation before us, what if we want to change it? do we have time to change it? do we have time to allow the american people to look at the legislation before we vote for it with this artificial deadline would be my next question? >> gretchen: that would seem to be the american way. something else that's become part of american politics is a tax. it looks like within your own party, at least people on the far left of the democratic party, are attacking you because of your stance on this language in the health care reform bill regarding abortion. the liberal blog daily cost now has picked up on charges that the condominium that you rent in dc from a christian group, that you're paying and calling now for both the irs and house ethics committee to investigate you. how would you respond to that? >> they've attacked everything from my friends to where i live to my catholic faith. that's hard ball politics here in washington, d.c they investigate all they want, there is nothing improper. i no longer live there. i actually pay about the same amount of rent at a place where i live at now. i've always paid fair market value. it has nothing to do with my position. just ridiculous, but i guess when you're in the middle of a fight like this, they attack everything they can. >> gretchen: well, you got that one right. you would know as a member of congress. congressman bart stupak, thank you so much for being our guest. we'll keep our eyes focused on this health care reform bill. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, a wedding with more drama than you can possibly imagine. at the center of it all, actress regina king is live here to talk about "our family wedding." >> good morning to you. great show this morning. what we're learning about this american woman who called herself jihad jane. also health care and a question for everybody out there, why are your stimulus dollars putting people to work overseas? we'll put that question to our democratic senator, casey today. see you in 11 minutes with martha and me. america os news room, top of the hour.  >> brian: fox news alert. here we go. fox news confirmed actor cory haim died at the age of 38. police say his death appears to be accidental and apparent overdose. he reportedly had trouble with drug addiction recently. known for his career as a teen idol in the '80s. most recently he was on a tv reality show, the two coreys with cory feldman. dead at the age of 38. >> gretchen: a surprise wedding announcement by a pair of college kids throws two families into turmoil and paves the way for a bumpy ride to the altar in a new movie coming out called "our family wedding." >> we have two families. the simplest thing is to split the cost. >> okay, hello. hey. what about us, it's our wedding. what about what we want? >> four words, our marriage, their wedding. >> but i'm just saying -- >> our marriage. >> our marriage. >> their wedding. >> their wedding. >> great. >> steve: repeat after me. that was regina king and she joins us live this morning on the curvy couch. good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: what was that scene all about? >> that was a scene that mimics what i think almost everyone that goes through marriage has to discover. >> steve: but talk with the parents on the couch. >> the talk with the parents and the extended family. >> gretchen: in this case you were playing a friend advisor role. right? >> exactly. and you know, two kids, they're in love, but their families don't particularly approve of the other family. >> brian: in this movie you're with forest whitaker. can you carrying him, because he has no experience. >> and i said that when they called me, like, i don't know. forest whitaker. who is he? >> brian: right. he's using you [ laughter ] >> steve: the movies, you get around. your forest's wife. >> i'm not forest's wife in this movie. >> steve: but then you were cuba gooding junior's wife. you were will smith's wife. >> yeah. i've been chris rock's love interest and jamie fox. >> steve: how do you keep them straight? >> you know, it's hard. but they have one thing in common. me. >> gretchen: a little tidbit of information that people may not know about you is that you're also into cheerleading. you were a cheerleading coach. >> i know. i was not a cheerleader in high school. i was a cheerleader for about a week in junior high school. >> gretchen: why did you do it? >> i am -- those are any girls. no, no, i'm up there -- there i go. >> steve: you're down center. >> i look so young. just like them. >> gretchen: why do you do it? why do you volunteer your time? >> because my son actually, he plays football for the team and they didn't have any coaches, the girls. theythey wanted to cheer. so i raised my hand and then realized, wow. this is a lot of work. >> brian: then sometimes as your son says, mom, don't you think it's time to bring the cheerleader over, don't they deserve a party at our house? >> he's like, mom, what's up? >> gretchen: you must be doing something right because they made it to nationals. i think they were fourth place. >> they did. i love when people do their research. it makes me feel like you care. >> gretchen: i definitely care. >> steve: we care so much we want you to stake around and continue our conversation. >> sure. >> steve: more are regina king after a quick timeout. we'll be right back. >> steve: new movie opens friday, called "our family wedding" starring regina king. we've got a surprise for you in our after the show show. you want to see what it is, log
