bill: bye bye. jane: good morning, i'm jane skinner. jon: i'm jon scott, "happening now", it is president obama's top priority, today, new trouble in the battle to pass health care reform. why members of the president's own party could sink the deal. jane: in the middle he kept capture a terror suspect wanted in one of the most brutal crimes in the iraq war, now the navy seal and two colleagues are facing court marshal amid allegations of mistreating that push. now -- that suspect. jon: word that the very same air traffic controller accused of letting his son talk to pilots let his daughter play air traffic controller theny next -- the very next day. take look at our newsroom, where breaking news is coming in across the world. jane: the president's bush for health care reform keeps bumping up against a major obstacle, abortion. bart stupak says this morning a dozen house democrats will vote against the bill, possibly sinking it, if it doesn't contain stricter language on preventing federal tax dollars from being used to fund abortion services. let's get to jim angle for us. this sounds like a serious snag on the house side. >> one of many snags. remember the house bill only passed by five votes, and it's in danger of losing far more than that now. democrat bart stupak, as you said, and some of his colleagues are not at all happy with the abortion language in the senate bill and he says not only will about a dozen of them not vote for the senate bill, but neither will many others. take a listen. >> i'll bet you that won't even come close to passing. members do not want to vote for it. not only do they not like the bill, the process has been tainted, and we're not going to attach our names to it. >> and that isn't the only problem, jane. some house liberals don't like the fact there's no public option, a government-run health care plan in the bill. dennis kucinich says he's like to support the president but signed a commitment not to vote for a bill without a public option so he's threatening not to support it, either, jane. >> jane: i guess there are lawmakers not happy with the bill? >> on the political spectrum, serious democrats had objections, dan boren of oklahoma voted no on the original bill in november and he's warning the white house a lot of democrats will lose in november if they vote for the health care bill. he says there's a poll in his district that shows only 17 percent of his constituents actually support the health care bill >> people do not want this, they don't want it shoved down their throat, they don't want reconciliation, the american people have spoken, it's time for the white house to move on, to go to jobs creation. we've been saying this for over a year. >> and boren does not sound like his view will change, so there will be plenty of pressure to go along, he says they can break my arms, and i still won't vote for it. jane: jim angle, let us know if anything develops this morning. expwrim -- jim, thank you. jon: first the son, now the daughter, an air traffic controller at new new york's jfk airport in hot water for bringing his son to work and allowing him to talk to pilots. it's glen duffy and he did the same thing with his daughter the very next day. >> jetblue 57, contact for departure. >> jetblue 57, thank you, have a good day. >> next generation of air traffic controllers. jon: with more -- >> jane: glen duffy, the air traffic controller who brought his kids into work, it so happens the control tower at jfk in new york, duffy lives down this street and glen duffy is 48 years old, father of twins, a girl and boy and it's those children in the control tower. glen duffy has worked at newark airport, also teter borough airport. as far as his home in stoney brook in long island it seems there's no activity at the house. we believe that duffy may have left sometime last night, maybe to get children away from the media who have gathered in his neighborhood. this is about 40 miles from jfk airport. duffy used to be president of the newark chapty of the national air traffic controllers association. it seems there's no indication that he's been in any kind of trouble before, but he is in trouble now. as far as any kind of reaction from neighbors, a lot of neighbors didn't want to go on camera, but one person drove up to us and said she believes the children are lovely. reporting from stoney brook on long island in new york, katharine craig, fox news. jon: katharine craig with our local fox station in new york, thank you. the faa is now banning unofficial visits by friends or relatives to any operational air traffic control areas while it reviews the policies. jane: four days after the earthquake in chile troops are beginning to deliver food to survivors there. take a look at the coastal village being destroyed by a tsunami. the video shows a surge of water pushing through a fishing village, destroying homes, really sweeping away anything that wasn't nailed down. yesterday people in the hard hit city of concepcion ran for the hills fearing a new tsunami following back-to-back aftershocks. meantime, rescue crews there are using high-tech cameras to try to search for survivors and soldiers are distributing food and water. the president of chile is now saying reconstruction will take at least 3-4 years, some estimates now put the damage as high as $30 billion. this just coming into our fox news room this morning, congressman sandra levin of michigan is going to be taking over as chairman of the house ways and means committee, powerful committee, you probably know. it was just yesterday that charlie rangel of new york stepped down as the house ethics committee investigates pretty serious allegations against him. rangel is one of a handful of new york democrats in political hot water these days. steve centanni is in d.c. steve, let's start with sander levin, how did he get this chairmanship and why? >> well, he's not next in line for the job but there were apparently concerns on the committee about the fiery temperament about the man who would have become chairman, pete stark, so the younger brother of senator carl levin will be the chairman. the full house will have to vote on this move but it appears to be a done deal. all of this, of course, after new york's charlie rangel resigned under pressure. some are questioning whether rangel will accept his diminished role in the house and might even consider not running for reelection, jane. jane: steve, on to another troubled democrat, congressman massa, how is he responding to charges of sexual harassment against the staff reb? >> right, eric massa saying he's stepping down purely for medical reasons. that is, not running for reelection. 23409 -- he is not stepping down, but he is not running for reelection. he's battling cancer. but there are accusations of sexual harassment against a male staffer. massa blames the blogs for those stories. let's listen. >> do i use salty language? yeah. and i've tried to do better. but these blogs are a symptom of the problem in washington, d.c. i simply don't have the energy to continue to fight every single battle. >> reporter: democratic leader steny hoyer says he's aware of the accusations and they're being looked at by the ethics committee. he reminds people a republican, mark folo, faced similar accusations in 2006. he said when there were allegations about mr. foley or others i think the institution suffers and that's why it's so important that each of us conducts ourselves in such a way that brings credit to the institution. jane: one more new yorker receiving heat, the governor of the state, david paterson, what are the thoughts this morning on whether he's going to weather the current storm? >> reporter: some are urging him to resign immediately, although paterson has announced he won't run for a full term, paterson, of course, facing charges he illegally accepted world series at this times and that he attempted to influence a domestic violence case involving a top administration official. so those charges against the governor, a lot of charges against a lot of democrats. not a good time for the democratic party, jane. jane: steve centanni, thank you for all of this, jon, over to you. jon: there is more trouble, jane, for toyota, after recalling millions of vehicles it turned out some of the repairs might not have fixed the problems. also, police are on the lookout for a pervert, targeting school kids. a suspected flasher reported several times in a quiet suburban neighborhood. we have the latest on the hunt. jane: "happening now" in the top box, a deadly blast across baghdad today, these bombs targeted early voters out passing ballots in parliamentary elections, at least 17 have been killed. a powerful earthquake hit taiwan, a 6.4 magnitude, centered in the same region hit by a deadly typhoon six months ago. in the bottom, a wave nearly 33 feet high, smashes into a mediterranean cruise ship, flooding the cabins, breaking a lot of windows. we have amateur video we're going to show you taken from passengers and it shows as the wave was hitting. the crew's company says two people were injured, 14 others have minor injuries. jon: new fears for toyota drivers, some in the u.s. saying the cars sped up by themselves at least 15 times even after they were supposedly fixed under the recent recall. the associated press discovering those new complaints filed during the last couple of weeks with the national highway traffic safety administration. toyota spokesman says the company is investigating those new complaints. jane: they've got new numbers from the department of labor. it shows a drop in new claims for unemployment benefits last week. four hundred sixty-nine thousand americans signing up for the first time. jenna is here to explain exactly what that means and how does it compare to this time last year. >> it does look better than last year so that's maybe the silver lining and it's really important that although we can look at the weekly number which we can whenever he'd week, 469,000 americans in the latest week, what's really most important is to look at the 4-week moving average. because of the volatility in this number, that gives us a more accurate idea of where we really are. so that 4-week average is actually not too far from the latest week's number, 470,000 americans filing for unemployment over this 4-week period. if we can, we'll show you this chart to show you what this 4-week average looks like, it gives you an idea of the improvement we've seen. although we're here and seeing this downward trend, this is where we were last year at the same time, upwards of nearly 700,000 americans filing for first-time unemployment in one week. so we have seen an improvement but we have to be careful with these numbers as well. when we look at the amount of americans continuing to collect unemployment that number has gone down but the number of americans that get emergency or extended benefits, that number is now above 5 million growing. it seems like almost every week. it was up 200,000 in the latest week. so that's concerning because once you exhaust the emergency or extended benefits, you don't have much else to go, you don't have another source of income. jane: jenna, thank you very much. jon: police in brookline, massachusetts are looking for a serial flasher. they are especially concerned because the guy apparently targets elementary school students in the boston suburbs and did do several times this week. in one case two girls say a man called them over to his car, they ran away because it looked like he wasn't wearing any pants, on another day someone approached girls at a different school and asked for direction, they also say he was wearing no pants. students across the area are on alert. >> it makes me feel scared and it's not like the first time this has happened around here so i'm really scared for me and my friends, because like we do hang out around here a lot. jon: the suspect, described as a white man, about 30 years old, light brown to gray hair. anyone with information, urged to call the brookline police: jane: well, you may remember wartime atrocity from iraq, the killing and mutilation of four american contractors, their bodies were hung from a bridge in fallujah, the navy seals who caught the suspected terrorists are now themselves facing a court marshal. there's been a massive outpouring of support for matthew mccabe and fellow seals. we'll talk to his lawyer and bring you new information on this story, next. jon: "happening now", let's take a look at the top box, a terror raid in yemen, police round up 11 al-qaeda suspects, they are reportedly linked to the same group accused of organizing the botched chris may day bombing on a jet headed for detroit. secretary of state is on a tour of latin america, she is in costa rica meeting with officials from 16 south american nations at a conference aimed at promoting reform. in the bottom box a deadly stampede in india, 63 are dead, most children, killed during a massive rush for free food and clothes at a hindu temple in the northern part of the country. jane: more than 100,000 people now are showing support for three navy seems facing a court marshal, one of the seems is matthew mccain, there he is. the men are all accused of punching a suspected terrorist in iraq. this afternoon lawmakers, military personnel will be holding a news conference calling for the egogration of these three, matthew mccabe there be will. catherine herridge is here to explain. >> reporter: matthew mccain is aaccused of punching ahmed hash eep abed the charges are making a false statement. two other seems, jonathan keefe and julio hment ars are accused in the case. the agents were working for blackwater in fallujah, the four contracts were beaten to death and their bodies were burned and hung from a bridge, that image came to symbolize the rise of al-qaeda in iraq and the brutality of the enemy we face there. this is not just about roughing up militia terrorists, mccabe and two other seems face allegations that they attempted to cover up what happened in iraq, and that would amount to lying to superiors, which is a serious offense, and that is one reason this incident has become a court marshal situation. supporters are angry that the three seals face these charges, the protests have been organized. there is an active campaign on the blogs and later today we expect mccain and two members of congress and about a dozen retired special operations officers to come to capitol hill to protest. republican congressman dana ror backer and dan burton are calling for the charges to be dropped, so it should be a rather dramatic and important news conference later today on capitol hill. jane: catherine, thanks. jon? jon: we are joined by deal puckett, the attorney representing matthew mccabe. your client is not accused of torture, not accused of doing outrageous things. the story is that maybe this suspect got punched? >> that's right, jon. the allegation is that he was punched in the gut and that gave rise to the charges against the seals. jon onand there are charges about lying i guess about what happened. >> well, in the military system, whenever investigators believe that they know something and you deny it, they almost always add a charge of making a false official statement to investigators. so their statement is consistent with what they maintain all along and that's that they weren't involved in any abuse. jon: the military can be a rough place. i've got a son who's going to be a military officer. i know that, you know, you're trained sometimes to do difficult and dangerous things. i would think that there would be a way to accommodate a suspect who gets punched, maybe, you know, during the process of apprehension. >> well, and certainly there are ways to accommodate, and we're still sorting out the facts and what the evidence is in this case, but i think the response we've gotten from most of the american people is that even if this happened, do we want to saddle these three, the most highly trained special warfare fighters that we have, warors, heroes who captured this abominable terrorist, do we want to saddle them with federal convictions for the rest of their lives. jon: is it also the case that the al-qaeda types basically have a manual that's been given to them that says if you are apprehended by the americans the first thing you're supposed to do is claim you've been mistreated and or tortured. >> that's our understanding, and that's what's been included in their training since abu graib. also, i want to thank congressman ror backer and burton for the incredible, extraordinary support they've generated for these seems. jon: you've been in the military yourself, you've even served as a judge in the military. >> that's correct, jon. jon: what is driving this train? at some point, stop the insanity. why are these three being prosecuted? >> well, the insanity could be stopped at any time. this is a knee-jerk reaction to their refusal to accept a lower form of discipline which would have ended their careers, and would have not given them really a fair hearing because guilt had already been established in the minds of senior people in their chain of command. so rather than accept certain ends to their careers, they want a fair trial in front of a jury of their peers. there is a way to stop the insanity. this didn't have to dewpoint. general cleland did thought have to send this to court marshal, he could have admonished them verbally or in writing or in any other way he wanted without having to do this. >> what is it precisely that congress rohrbacher and congressman burton have been doing, gathering signatures? >> they have been gathering signatures which they want to serve on the department of defense to convince them to convince general cleland to dismiss these charges and handle it in some other way and there are so many ways to handle it short of a court marshal. that's what we're asking. johnson to bring it back to where we began, we're tag about navy seems who handled the terrorist who is suspected of the mass murders of the black water contractors, the four military men left hanging from a bridge in iraq. >> that's exactly right, jon, and the most serious allegation is that traps one of them may have struck the detainee in the stomach. jon: unbelievable. lieutenant colonel neal puckett, attorney for one of those accused, thank you. >> thank you jon. jane: we're getting developments on a couple of stories. first, health care, the white house is calling on republicans for not getting behind the proposal but it could be the democrats' problem and we're learning about two hours from now the president will be meeting with house democrats, including dennis kucinich. he is our guest next hour. harris has new developments in the hunt for the georgia teenager who disappeared more than a week ago. she's with us in moments. jon: bottom of the hours, "happening now", the death toll in chile is now over 800. the nation's president says rebuilding from that massive earthquake will take 3-4 years. phil keating, streaming live from concepcion. >> reporter: this rioo this here is the first aid shipment to actually arrive in this particular neighborhood in the town of constitucion. this was affected by the quaig and then the tsunami, 14 feet tall, 14 minutes later, pushing the entire city up to this spot here, the current death toll, official 805, but just about two hours ago they did find a 70-year-old woman still buried under this debris, six days after the quake. jon: remember the big bank bailout? citigroup got $45 billion. today, that firm's ceo is on the hot seat, testifying before a congressional panel. peter barnes of the fox business network. >> reporter: that's right, jon, the head of citigroup getting ready to testify before a t.a.r.p. bank bailout commission at this hour. one thing, the chairman of this commission, elizabeth warren, wants to know is is citigroup still too big to fail. she thinks so. they got $45 billion in the financial crisis as you mentioned, has paid back 20 billion so far, but warren thinks if citi got in big trouble again the feds would ride to the rescue with more taxpayer cash. treasury department officials deny that, saying there is no guarantee today and in his prepared remarks, he says citi is on course for a sustained recovery. jon: it has been the coldest winter in south florida in three decades and the sunshine state will be on ice again tonight. janice dean in the weather center. >> its just not right we can't go to there's to escape the winter weather. freeze advisories in place for south florida, north -- north flors, parts of alabama and georgia into tomorrow morning where we'll have an extended period of time of temperatures below the freezing mark. twentys and 30s across the southeast interior sections of florida as well. we'll have to watch those crops and vegetation, jon. the good news? spring may be on its way this weekend for the eastern half of the country. back to you. jon: i like that. janice, peter, phil, thank you. brand new information for you now on a story we are watching out of georgia, amber graham, a 14-year-old who vanished from her own bedroom in the middle of the night, she's been missing nearly two weeks, now reports that she's been found and arrests made. harris faulkner is at the breaking news desk. >> reporter: jon, here's what we're hearing out of a local newspaper, rockmart journal and trying to verify this on our own here, amber graham was found, according to the report, behind a wall at her boyfriend's house and she is alive and okay. that boyfriend, we believe seen in this picture here but i have not verified that with my own calls, graham's boyfriend is 16 years old, his last time is spinnell, he and his mother both arrested and expected to be charged. those charges could look something like this. harboring a runaway, obstruction of justice, interfering with custody. those are potentially the charges. but amber graham, the headline here, found alive and well, behind a wall in her boyfriend's house, according to a local report. this was a huge evident r effort to find this young girl. arragon police in georgia, folk county sheriff's department, the bureau of investigation getting in on this, u.s. marshal social security, a huge, huge amount of people involved. she was missing for 11 days. but we are trying to confirm now exactly how this happened, what the charges will be. i can tell you there was an emergency medical services team sent out to the home of this boyfriend, and that he was having some kind of a panic attack during about the time that it's reported she was found. i'm going to get off now and see what i can confirm, but it would be great news, no matter what the circumstances are, if she is in fact a runaway, it would be great news that an amber alert, a young woman who was missing, 14-year-old amber graham has been found alive. jon, back to you. jon: harris, thank you. our viewers can stay updated on the hunt for amber graham and apparently her possible relocation by logging on to foxnews.com. you can also check out the slide show. click on the link on our home page, and of course you can get breaking news and top stories there any time, day or night. jane: the issue of abortion is becoming a big sticking point for the president's bush to pass health care reform, the push pack coming from democrats. congressman bart stupak of michigan is a prolife democrat and this morning he has said that he and 11 other democrats in the house won't be voting for the senate version of the bill unless the language on abortion is made to be more strict to prevent federal money from being used. let's get to bock beckel, george washington university, math schlapp is here as well, former political director of george w. bush. first i'm going to play what stupak said on "good morning america". >> i'll take responsibility, i've been watching -- catching it ever since last fall. let's face it i want health care but we're not going to bypass principles that we feel strongly about. jane: bob, stupak said including himself there could be a dozen democrats who take this stand. that's what you might call a bind for leaders. >> you might call it a bind. one, it's possible that the language stupak could be dealt with in reconciliation. it's a stretch but you could say that by changing the language and making it stricter fewer people will use federal monies for abortions and therefore that has impact on the budget but beyond that, even without stupak and his 12 or 11 other people, it's quite possible that the democrats could put together a majority because there are two fewer votes in the house necessarily needed now because of retirements and secondly there are a lot of democratic retirees. thirty-nine people who voted no, democrats last time around, many of them are retiring, and they could change their votes without any political complications and some of them have already said they'll vote for this bill because they like the senate version better than the house. jane: matt, you're good at counting numbers being a political director, what do you see with the numbers? >> the one thing you know about the house of representatives, when they have the votes, they vote and they vote immediately. when you're reading they have the votes or close to the vit, you would be seeing a vote lined up immediately. the bottom line is when you delay in the how house, it's because you're cutting deals to get more people on the yea side for the nationalized health care plan. jane: something interesting that pelosi and other house leaders said over the weekend was do what's right, even if you're going to be risking your seat for reelection, do what's right, yet if you listen to what bart stupak and others are saying, they are doing what they think is right. is it fair to put the pressure on that way and does it even resonate with them? >> look, the issue of abortion has always been the most emotional issue before the house and so i will give stupak the benefit of the doubt here and say that he is standing on principle, but i also would agree with matt that when the house has the votes, they votes -- they vote but right now it goes beyond that. they're trying to figure out what works in reconciliation, what doesn't, what will pass the mustard of the senate parliamentarian, even if he does have influence on it from the democrats, and ultimately, what the long term budget impact will be because under the rules of reconciliation, you have to come up with a billion dollars cut in what otherwise would be the cost of the bill. jane: matt, last to you, timeline, then? you talk about if you have the votes this thing would have been on the floor. where do you see this going? john boehner was on earlier saying he could see it in the next couple of days in his mind. >> could be the next couple of days, this could go on and on and on. we've been talking about having the votes in the house since the end of last year. one thing on bart stupak, this is a man who voted for the house bill with a public option. he believes in a big health care bill. he and i disagree on that. he just wants to make sure a penny does not go to subsidized abortions. we've had that as the law of the land since the 1990s, why nanc we pelosi wants to change that, it's beyond me. >> she's not really changing that. i don't think it's really changed that much. i think stupak wants a very specific series of words that the senate didn't want to put in but in the end there will be no federal money spent on abortions. jane: matt, bob, we'll see. thanks to you both. jon: just into fox, 911 calls from sea world released from the day that trainer dawn brancheau was killed by that massive killer whale. we'll bring that to you next. and one man's art is another man's call to police. a new jersey family sculpt dollars a classic out of snow but not everyone saw the beauty in this bust. jon: a fox news alert. nine hundred eleven tapes in sea world where a trainer was killed by a whale just released. harris faulkner has details from the breaking news desk. >> reporter: there were according to this 911 caller about two dozen people or so around the shamu tank, so as dawn was dragged by that orca whale by her tony tail to the bottom of the tank, this call was made: >> orange county fire rescue >> 6600 sea harbor drive. >> okay. >> sea world. >> okay. where is the patient located inside? >> they are at shamu stadium , we actually have a trainer in the water with one of our whales, the whale that they're not supposed to be in the water with, so we don't know what's going on. we were just told to call and have people here on standby when they get the person out. >> do you know -- you don't know if the person was injured or if they're having a medical problem? >> no idea. i don't even think they're out of the water yet. they're still in there with the whale, so -- >> but someone is, they are getting them out of the water now? >> there are people working on it, two, three dozen people over there right now. >> okay, we'll get somebody enroute. >> gate number three, shamu stadium. >> gate three. >> gate three. >> got it. okay, thank you. >> thank you, bye. >> reporter: did you hear what she said? she said a whale we're not supposed to be in the water with. that's a first. hadn't heard that. the 911 call made the day dawn brancheau was dragged to her death by a killer whale at sea world in orlando. you're hearing it now for the first time, this tape just coming into fox news channel. there's more to it. we're working on it. there's a section where they talk about using a defibrillator to try to bring her back. chilling, chilling information now coming in on the day that dawn brancheau died at sea world. jon? jon: harris faulkner on our breaking news desk, thank you harris. jane: want to take you to georgia where state college students are learning a tough lesson in milks, state budget cuts could force the schools to raise tuition by 35 percent. the other options include major cuts in faculty and programs, even closing entire schools. jonathan serre is on this in atlanta. talk about the impact this may have on students. >> reporter: the state legislature in georgia is asking georgia's public colleges and universities to plan for an additional $300 million in cuts, this would be on top of 265 million already proposed in cuts for the next fiscal year, so potentially more than half a billion dollars in state funding cuts for higher education. if students alone were to foot the bill, educators estimate their tuition could go up as much as 77 percent, but a more likely scenario you'd see is a combination of smaller tuition increases , the elimination of certain programs, and layoffs of professors, which educators say would have a sweeping impact. listen to this. >> what's at stake, of course, is the quality of public education going forward. we have to continue to make it accessible, affordable and high quality. and it takes money to do that. >> there are some areas of the budget that we just absolutely cannot cut. we have a prison population of 50,000 people, we're going to dump them out on the people of georgia? i don't think so. >> the background behind this is that the georgia constitution requires the state legislature to balance the budget without decifit spending, and right now, they're looking at a potential budget shortfall in excess of $1 billion, jane. jane: i know you've been looking at the situation in georgia, but also in other states as well. >> that's right, looking across the country at budget cuts in higher education, as far as state funding, there are 38 states that cut the budget for this year, not even looking forward to 2011. in nevada, they're looking at closing the agricultural school, in arizona, they're looking at tuition hikes in excess of 30 percent, potentially. so it's really the economy is having an impact on higher education from coast to coast. jane: jonathan serrie in atlanta for us, thanks. jon: here's a question, does nudity offend you? jane: is that a question for me? >> jon: you can chime in if you'd like. what about a naked snowwoman? that wouldn't offend you? >> no. >> if you say yes, you might want to cover your eyes. a new jersey family's nude snowwoman got the cold shoulder from the people on the street. the family sculpted her and called her curve atious and bootylicious. someone called the cops to complain, the police said he appreciated the artistic effort but asked them to put clothes on. jane: really? jon: who got a green bikini top and but sarong bottom. >> i thought it was great, she did a great job on it. apparently somebody called the police on her and that's a shame. >> it looked like a woman, like a really thick woman, actually, and it was defined in the stomach, it had the chest, and the butt, and everything done, so it was like a snowbabe. jabe jabe -- jane: a snowbabe. jon: the family took conveniencous down because she was melting, which proves she was too hot! jane: sounds like they had a good sense of humor. listen up, you've heard so much, haven't you, you've got to get your regular screenings for prostate cancer? but get this, the american red cancer society says sometimes adepressive screenings can do more harm than good. what should you do? we'll get you some answers in three minutes. jane: more is coming into our newsroom, the 911 tapes from sea world in orlando where that trainer was killed by the killer whale, harris, play a little more for us if you will. >> reporter: we've cued up more of this and jane, i want to make very clear, we knew that no one was supposed to be in the water with that whale, at least that's what officials were saying, but this was the first time in the 911 call we actually heard it directly from the people calling for help, they're in a tank where no one should be with that whale. here's more of the chilling 911 call that came in, a second call, a woman calls 911 back to let them know that they're working on dawn brancheau. take a listen. >> fire and rescue. >> hi, this is sea world, i just called. can you let them know if they pulled the e.d.? >> say what? >> they pulled the defibrillator. they're coming to sea world for, they just pulled it. out of the box. i just found the alarm. >> okay. all righty. >> thanks. >> haven't got any more information? >> i don't. they're still working. >> very good, thanks for the additional information, we'll pass it on. >> thank you so much. >> thanks, bye. >> reporter: letting the 911 people know they -- know they started ahead of anyone showing up to try to save her life with a de february later, all they were doing to try to preserve her after she had been attacked by tilikum, this killer whale and 30-year-old veteran trainer at sea world in orlando lost her life that day, jane. jane: harris, thanks. jon: fox news alert, we're going to take you live to california. check out that car there on the right. i believe that's the suspect's vehicle being chased by police. you can see it's already dragging something behind it. whether that's a piece of bumper or tail light, they may have already tried a pit maneuver to bring -- to bring this thing to a stop. at any rate, this is a burglary suspect on the i-91 freeway, as we understand it, in the north long beach area. let's listen in for just a moment. it sounds like our friends in the chopper are talking about this pursuit. >> it's going to be a hazard so -- ron, weaving on the right shoulder there, in and out, this is a heavily commuted freeway with big rig traffic out of the harbor here and right up ahead, about a mile or so up, that's where traffic literally is stopped here, it merges with the 710 and 105. coming up to accosta, this pursuit started in orange county, again, this is a burglary suspect, a couple of squad cars, trailing this man, and if there's a situation, a time where they can try that pit maneuver or try to disable this guy even more, they're going to do it, but he's definitely a hazard to other motorists on the road right now. jon: this is happening live right now, southern california, the north long beach area. this suspect apparently is taking a ramp, maybe -- >> maybe another transition here, looks like he's making a transition now to the westbound 105 freeway, which isn't much better in terms of congest ob, coming through southgate in the compton area, this is one of the fly away transition roads here. down below, i count three squad cars this time, an l.a. county sheriff's helicopter circling underneath us over this pursuit. jon: a very dangerous pursuit underway. this guy, driving like mad, as you can see, dragging what looks like the rear bumper of the car. >> -- if he hit another car, perhaps something off the side of the road, a guardrail, a center divider, that information is not known, all we know, this is a burglary suspect, this pursuit start started perhaps 25 minutes ago in orange county, traveling at a high rate of speed, despite the congestion. here it is, at 105, at long beach boulevard. why do they run? because they want to get away, and they are delaying the inevitable. most of the time, these guys get caught. 99.9% of the time, they get caught. jon: as you can see, this one has the potential to end in a pretty violent collision, this driver, being pursued for burglary. well, there he hit the water, and then hit the wall, but just keeps on going. hard to tell what kind of car we're looking at here, but it's already been pretty badly damaged. you can see the police are in pursuit. they don't like to get this close if they can avoid it, because they don't want to be accused of causing the may hen that can sometimes ensue, but as you can see, this guy is just bent to drive as fast as he can in that very thick traffic. it's a little before 8:00 -- sorry, a little before 9:00 in the morning on the pacific coast, rush hour, still very much underway there. and this guy is just going to do everything he can to elude the authorities behind and dragging part of what appears to be the rear bumper. he's already hit the wall a couple of times. you can see that bumper, flapping back and forth as it hits other cars as he pas them. last we understood he was on that the westbound 105 freeway in the long beach, california area. started in orange county. he's been hitting speeds up close to 100 miles an hour. but this is a very, very dangerous chase underway now harris faulkner is joining us from the breaking news desk, she has a little more information for us. harris. >> reporter: you know, as i'm watching this with you, something that's worth pointing out and one of the reasons why you've seen the police cars sud'ly fall back a little bit, he's actually not in a lane. it looks like he's in the hov lane, the commuter lane but he's not. they're catching back up with him. the problem with that is there is construction along the lanes that are not relate designated for driving so if he creeps up on something they don't want to get too close to him so he's technically not in a lane now and that makes pursuing him complicated because anything could be in front of you because it's not designated to be driven in. jon: he's in the breakdown lane, apparently moving in and out of the break yoin lane but as on any freeway, they are filled with rocks and debris, all kinds of junk. >> construction, mainly. jon: there could be a hub cup, a piece of a wheel, you never know. he does not have a lot of room to run. you can see he's slowing down, maybe just -- >> >> reporter: all of the traffic is slowing down. jon: right. very slow there, very tight going, and the pursuers are still going to keep up the pressure, cutting across several lanes of traffic of traffic there, looks like he's lost. he finally dropped that piece of bumper that was flapping back and forth. it probably just eventually snapped off. you can see the black and white coming up behind him there. they would like to corral him with that pit maneuver, if they could. that's where they get behind the car, nudge the rear quarter panel and then yank the wheel of the squad car. that tends to spin the car around, but in this case there is simply too much other traffic around to be able to do that. they don't want to do that when other cars would potentially run into this one, and that's what could happen. jane: and, jon, rick robinson, former state trooper in west virginia is on the phone with us, too, are you watching? >> hey, jane, you guys are hitting the nail on the head, this is a dangerous one. some guy's trying to get away on a felony, burglary, of course, is when somebody's breaking into a home. so this is not -- i'm just almost as confident as i can be this is not going to end well. jon: that's one of the things i wanted to say. he is driving as dangerously, i mean, some of these pursuit suspects seem to be able to handle their vehicles. this guy duds not seem to be -- does not seem to be doing a great job. >> he's all over the road, you hit the nail on the head when you said the police try not to sit on somebody's bumper. defense attorneys will always say we were pushing them forward, they were afraid to stop, they didn't know what else to do, and it was our fault. jon: and just give it to us from the perspective of somebody who's been involved in one of these pursuits, i can imagine the adrenaline is flowing right now, and it must be so hard to hold back. >> jon, i taught in the west virginia state police academy almost my entire career for about 21 years, and i teach in college now. one of the things i say to troopers and to students is it's not personal, but -- and it's easy to say that, but having been in those pursuits god knows how many times, i know it's not personal, but, man, your adrenaline is just going insane, and so that's why when you can, when you can do a textbook pursuit, you've got the first vehicle behind the offender, that's probably the person who first noticed the violation, then the second or third vehicle will be a supervisor who really has no involvement other than they don't want to see their officers get hurt, and that person, that supervisor's supposed to be looking the entire incident over trying to decide whether to continue the pursuit, trying to make sure that that officer in the first unit isn't getting kind of personally involved, isn't letting their adrenaline get away from them. i've stood in front of people and said that and turned right around and been in a pursuit and felt that aden lin, that i gotta get them type of thing. the big problem in a lot of jurisdictions, thank god not in california, we're in a difficult position, and that is if we pull over to the side of the road and just let the person drive away thinking, of course, they'll slow down and then they wreck, maybe drive through a school zone or something and all hell breaks loose, then we can end up being sued. if we continue the pursuit and something terrible happens, then we can be sued. so more and more states around the united states just like california are saying, you know what? these guys are the ones that need to make the decision. if they decide to stop or they decide to continue, as long as their actions don't shock the conscious, that's really the threshold. jon: yeah. jane: we should point out, too, that the crew from kt-tv is doing a great job around the underpasses, that is not an easy thing to do in the air. rick, i know it's hard because you don't have all the information, but what do you expect is happening further down this road? >> well, i know in california they're real good about this because they've got, they have so many pursuits, and they so often have helicopters as opposed to other areas of the country where you don't have the manpower and the overhead for either fixed wing or helicopters to watch anything and get a good handle on it. but what they, i'm confident, are doing are placing units, calling way ahead, everybody up and down that interstate knows what's going on, so they're placing units off the sewer states, trying to minimize the amount of traffic getting on the interstate, but it's morning rush hour there, so they're already on the interstate. this guy's driving on the median, a little while ago he was driving on the berm. what was going through my head because i've been in that precise position where you're afraid somebody's going to be a cowboy and decide, they see this car coming, and they think they know what's going on, and they'll edge over onto the berm thinking they'll get the car to stop. then all of a sudden you've got those folks involved in an accident, and you get hit in the rear, you were talking about that pit maneuver, if you don't do it just right, you, the officers are going to end up going out of control and getting hurt. jane: rick, hold on one second, if you will. >> you bet. jon: we'll continue to watch this. trace gallagher thoughs the streets of southern california well, and he is joining us for this coverage. >> reporter: very good points because this car apparently is in hawthorne. hawthorne is kind of down in the tor answer area. kind of unclear what direction he's heading clearly at a high rate of speed. the helicopter pilot was just talking about this is not a good time to make that famous pit maneuver we have talked about. harris was alluding earlier about the fact that local police are involved in this, and you've got two divergent philosophies when you've got local police involved versus the highway patrol because the california highway patrol would be much more aggressive. local police departments don't have as much money, therefore, they don't take as many risks because of lawsuits. so what happens here is you've got local police, but you may have the highway patrol falling in line behind the local departments there. the chp's pursuit process is pretty much depending on how much risk this driver poses to those around him. that's how aggressively they pursue these guys. we said the 105 freeway earlier, harris, is that still the 105 or do we know? it seems to me it's move anything a different direction now. harris: it is, actually, still the 105. if we can ask, actually, the former state trooper robinson, trace, because i think this might be a good question, too, you notice how the other drivers seem to be slowing down -- they're giving cops actually some help because they're used to seeing this sort of thing out there. they always have good weather when this goes on, so people can see him coming. people were getting over to the right and actually slowing down and being a hindrance for him. he couldn't quite maneuver around. but, yes, this is still -- they were just crossing the 110 freeway. >> reporter: okay. harris: and i don't know if that helps you tell them where he is, but he's back in that lane that nobody's supposed to be driving in. jane: casey steegal with our l.a. bureau is with us. what's the location here? >> reporter: yeah. just as you said, crossing the 101 freeway. this is a major, major freeway, and you have to remember it is only 9:00 in the morning out here in california. so a lot of people are packed, a lot of people are out on the roadways heading in to work. so that is one of the reasons why this might be, in fact, difficult to stop because there is a tremendous amount of traffic as the morning commute is underway. but they are heading westbound to the 105. we understand this originated in orange county this morning. we have a number of people on the telephone here in our los angeles bureau trying to get information in terms of what this person may be running from. we do know confirmed to fox news by police that this is, in fact, a robbery suspect of some sort. and they're now getting off the freeway. i don't actually have a feed here in the studio -- harris: i can tell you where it is. >> reporter: we're working on trying to get this together as it is, obviously, a fluid situation we're monitoring, but i understand the vehicle is now getting off of the freeway onto a major intersection. it is a major thoroughfare in the los angeles area that goes right into los angeles international airport, of course, one of the busiest airports -- jane: yeah. we can see the -- harris: [inaudible] >> reporter: making their way in and out to try to get to fights -- jane: i'm going to put you all own pause for a second. let's take a listen to the chopper pilot. >> where the runways cross. no, that's not -- is he still? he's still under the tunnel, guys. so we don't know what's happened down there. we'll wait and see if something comes out. yeah. definitely at the speed he was traveling, although he didn't have the option, you know, there isn't a center divider in h there, it's a very, very tight area underneath runways 25 left and 25 right here at lax. we're right over the lax complex. harris: you know, it's interesting, that was very smart of him to do that. he's out of the purview of the helicopter cameras right now. trace, if he wanted to try to make a getaway, that's how you do it. jon: well, if you're trying to make a getaway on foot, you don't want to try and do it inside the tunnel, and it appears this white ford taurus that police have been pursuing for, oh, the better part of an hour, this white ford taurus has come to a stop of some kind in that tunnel underneath the runways at lax. i was going to ask rick robinson who is with us on the phone, what is the psychology of these guys? i mean, they know the choppers are in the air, they've seen how these things end, why do they keep these things going? >> they believe they're going to get away, that somehow or another they'll find an avenue, something like this where they're underneath the runway that they're going to somehow or other slip away, they'll get into a crowd, into a mall, go up to some road some place, they just think they'll get away. occasionally, people have waved at the cameras, that sort of thing, that's not what i'm talking about. but a guy like this, he genuinely thought he could do it. he may, we don't know yet. jon: you have to think something has happened in the tunnel just paced on the way the traffic is starting to stack up behind it. whether he simply pulled over and gave up, whether he smashed into another vehicle, whether he smashed into a pillar or the wall, who knows? >> my gut feeling is he's not just giving up under there. i don't think he pulled under there to do that. if he hasn't -- certainly, i don't see how he could have flipped around, i think we would have seen it. there's a concrete barrier that we can see. if that runs all the way through, and it probably does, i just -- he chose this particular place. it looks like -- is that a city police officer we've got in the shot? jon: yeah, we have got a motorcycle officer who is blocking the exit end of this tunnel. and, again, we call it a tunnel, it's really just under the runways, and they are wide expanses of concrete at lax. >> you know, we're talking about whether we've got a burglary suspect, burglary that's breaking into a residence, or a robbery suspect, that's taking from a person, like sticking a gun in somebody's face and saying, give me your money. this is a violent person. this is somebody -- well, you know, the way that officer just walked in there -- jon: yeah. >> i'm kind of thinking maybe it might be over. jon: it sure seems like it. he just kind of sainterred off his motorcycle and heading back in the direction of this car. we don't know what happened -- >> got the cruisers stopping him from going the opposite direction, so i'm guessing they've got a crime scene in there now, but what exactly occurred, wow, who knows. jane: yeah. it's pretty obvious they've blocked traffic, and the pace at which he was kind of sainterring in there makes it seem like the urgency is gone. this is a challenge for a chopper pilot, is it not, to have the conclusion happen underneath those taxiways and runways. jon: and you're right on top of very busy air lanes at lax. jane: yeah, let's take a listen. >> northbound side, the traffic is definitely stopped here. jon: somehow underneath the runways at los angeles international airport this chase has come to an end. a chase that started, i think, around 8:30 los angeles time. a burglary suspect, we are told, was in pursuit or anaheim police were in pursuit of this burglary suspect, and he led them on a wild one that has somehow come to an end in h the darkness of that tunnel under the runways at los angeles international airport. you can see the motorcycle trooper back on his bike now just moved the bike out of the way. >> the car crashed, that white taurus crashed just before it came out of the tunnel. jon: oh, yeah, you can see him. >> whether or not any other cars are involved, it's hard to tell at this point. injuryies, obviously, we don't know. and we still don't know if the suspect is in custody at this point. jon: you can see the car in the shadows there just underneath the e guess of that tunnel at lax. harris: you know, jon and jane, it's interesting because if the thinking was he would have done this on purpose what may have happened was just simply an accident underneath this tunnel, completely unplanned. whether or not he got out, as you heard our chopper reporter saying, there could be injuries involved, he may not have gotten out of there and very well could still be this that vehicle. jon: yeah, who knows. they tend not to wear their safety belts when they are trying to elude police. harris: yeah. hot on the chase. jon: think about it, too, harris, you're in the bright california sunshine, all of a sudden you're in the near darkness of a tunnel -- harris: very good point. jon jon would have been difficult for his eyes to adjust, he may have been trying to make a a maneuver -- harris: or around another car. the only visibility you have in there is per the lights on all those vehicles, so, yeah, it would have been considerably darker than where he was driving previously. jon: let's just hope there aren't any innocents involved hereby. jace jace casey steegal, what have you been able to ascertain? >> reporter: we're, obviously, watching the same live pictures coming from our local fox affiliate here in southern california, but now you have to figure out that this could be affecting traffic at los angeles international airport because that tunnel that that car is crashed in is right below active taxiways. obviously, a number of flights takeoff and land this time of morning at lax, and so you have to wonder with now a vehicle crashed under there and a lot of police activity, they've got to sweep that car. we know that this is, in fact, a potential robbery suspect, a bank robber suspect of some sort. but, you know, you cannot take any extra precautions here. if there would be explosives of any sort in that vehicle, and it's under a direct taxiway, so you can imagine that lax authorities are now closing that portion off so planes cannot go over that tunnel. but now you start to see other traffic making its way through there, so this is not only causing a lot of problems fir drivers on the -- for drivers on the road but could be holding up flights at just after 9:00 in the morning out here los angeles time, guys. jon: i have to think, now, casey, the fact that they are letting automobile traffic through this tunnel is a pretty good sign that this thing is over -- >> reporter: that's gotta be a good thing. jon: yeah. i don't, i don't see any, you know, tarps or anything else that would indicate there may be a fatality here, but again, it's difficult to see inside that tunnel. maybe he just crashed the car. let's hope it was a single car accident, and let's hope that they have this suspect, whoever he or she might be, let's hope that they have that person in custody. jane: all had started as a burglary in orange county and looks like it has come to a conclusion there under the taxiways and runways at los angeles international airport. we're going to continue to watch it and listen in and let you know as soon as we get more information. >> just to avoid if it does take some time to clear. not long ago, this man had limited mobility. last month, this woman wasn't even able to get around inside of her own home. they chose mobility. and they chose the scooter store! if you or a loved one live with limited mobility call the scooter store! no other company will work harder to make you mobile or do more to guarantee your complete satisfaction. if we pre-qualify you for a new power chair or scooter and your claim isn't approved, the scooter store will give you your power chair or scooter free. that's our guarantee. they were so helpful and nice. they filed all the paperwork, and medicare and my insurance covered the cost. we can work directly with medicare or with your insurance company. we can even help with financing. if there's a way, we'll find it! so don't wait any longer, call the scooter store today. jon: a fox news alert and take a look at the aftermath of this high-speed chase that we were watching through much of the hour. this began in anaheim, california. we understand it was a burglary suspect who was being pursued by police, and this person, this guy i assume, was driving incredibly dangerously hitting speeds near 100 miles an hour on some of the freeways in southern california at, during rush hour just before 9 a.m. it's about 9:18 there now, and this thing has come to an end in one of the tunnels under the runways or taxiways at los angeles international airport. our fox affiliate, kttv, is reporting that the suspect has been cornered. we can barely see his car there in the right upper left-hand part of the screen sort of spun around and pinned up against the walls of the tunnel. we understand the suspect is in custody, we don't know anything more about who that person is or what condition they're in. when we get that information, we'll bring it to you live here on fox. jane: want to get to some other news now, two senior officials in afghan intelligence are saying that a former gitmo detainee is now a taliban commander. his name is abdul kauai yum, and he's seen as the leading indicate to be the next number two in the taliban hierarchy. some officials are saying his key aide is another former gitmo prisoner. let's bring in lieu tent colonel tony schafer, he served two combat tours in afghanistan, he also worked with general stanley mcchrystal who, of course, is our commander there back in 2003. colonel schafer, good to see you. this guy supposedly told those at gitmo that he wanted to go back home and help his family, and this is what we find him doing. how'd we get fooled? >> well, he lied to us and, frankly, this is something we have to look at very deeply relating to the fact that the taliban is much like the mafia. when you get out of jail and you're a mafia member, you generally don't, you know, go on the up and up, and i think we have to take a deep look how we're handing these guys. at the policy level we're trying to divest ourselves of guantanamo, and things like this tend to happen when you're trying to get rid of something. he was, secondly, processed through the afghan justice system, and they ruled in his favor saying he's already served time, he's ready to be released -- jane: right. we should stop there just for a second because he wasn't released boo the wild, so to speak, he was released to an afghan jail? >> exactly. we need to take a hard look at what are we getting when this happens? there's a 20% -- i believe it's higher -- a 20% recidivism rate which catherine herridge broke right here on fox a few weeks ago. apparently the policy with john brennan is 20%'s okay. i don't think so. this is clearly as bad as the abdulmutallab christmas day bombing because now you have a seasoned commander trying to kill americans. the third point i was going to make is we have to look at how we detect these guys and interrogate them because, apparently, the sewer gaition techniques didn't work, and aye got a book coming out. you've got to be smarter than these guys. these guys are trained to resist and, frankly, they're trained to resistorture as well. somehow, this guy made it true, and now he's back in the field commanding troops. jane: and i suppose can go back and tell those troops he's commanding exactly how he was interrogated and -- >> exactly. absolutely. and you've begin up, now, what our basic problems are relating to what we don't know and, clearly, like you just mentioned, he's going to train other folks now who may be capture inside how to resist our interrogation techniques. this is clearly a policy question, the building behind me has to weigh in on this, granted, but this is something that needs to be resolved quickly because we don't want to have these guys returned, quote-unquote, to the wild in some aspect and come back at us again because they're smarter, more deadly, i argue, than before. jane: i suppose getting a 100% success rate is next to impossible, is it not? someone's always going to be able to fool you. >> jane, absolutely. the question becomes then how much do you want to take on in the way of risk? as i understand it, this guy was rolled up in 2001, he was a known taliban commander. he was in the field killing americans at the time he was captured. therefore, i'm kind of curious why he didn't go before one of our tribunals. i mean, clearly, this was an individual who was taking up arms against us, i think he met the profile of someone who should have been tried. i'm kind of speculating, i'd have to study this more than, but if someone was active against us, was a known commander and, oh, by the way, there was occasions he was not going to become a model citizen. so we've got to ask ourselves, why, again, we didn't recognize the indicators this guy was bad, he never changed, and he was let go knowing he was going to come back and do bad things to us again? we have to ask those questions. jane: we're working to get more on exactly what his time was like spent there and before he was even at gitmo as well, and as soon as we get it, we'll bring it straight to our viewers. lieutenant colonel schafer, good to see you, thanks. >> thank you. jon: new concerns other the air traffic control system after an incident inside the control tower at new york's jfk airport. we told you about the controller who brought his son in and let the boy clear pilots for takeoff at one of the busiest airports in the nation. now the faa says the same thing happened the next day when the same controller brought his daughter to work. take a listen. >> [inaudible] >> jetblue 57, thank you, good day. jon: this is just one of many incidents in which the nation's air traffic control system has been called into question. are the air traffic controllers taking the faa's rules a little bit too lightly at the potential cost to passenger safety? let's talk about it with scott brenner, former chief spokesman for the federal aviation administration. when you heard these tapes, scott, what did you think? >> well -- [laughter] you know, kids are cute, so at first you go, oh, that's kind of neat, and then you go, wait a second, these kids are clearing pilots to takeoff, so literally seconds after you hear those transmissions, that pilot is putting that plane in full gear and heading down that runway at about 180 miles an hour. so when you think about it in that type of context, it makes me a little nervous. jon: yeah, and we have to assume that dad was, you know, monitoring and keeping track of the flight numbers and so forth, but it doesn't take much for a little kid to slip a digit, and all of a sudden the wrong plane is barreling down the runway. >> absolutely. controllers, overall, do a fabulous job. if you listened to the tape when captain sully landed in the hudson, i mean, that was a classic, focused controller. but occasionally you get guys like that who thought it was a fun thing to do, but there could be serious ramifications. talk about the fellow who brought his son in talking to the air mexico flights. english probably not the first language for that pilot and hearing a little kid's voice, that could be very unsettling for a pilot. jon: and after that incident where the northwest airlines flight overshot minneapolis because controllers were supposed to notify the next batch of controllers that this flight was not in contact with ground control, it leaves you wondering, are some of these controllers starting to let things slide? >> you know, jon, i don't know what the answer is. i mean, you look at on an average day controllers are handling, you know, 40,000 flights a day, most of them without any type of incident, but you hear about stuff like this, and you hear about it month after month, it does, it makes you a little concerned. i know faa is going back to try and do a top-down review and say, you know, we know what the procedures are, people have to follow procedures, but it comes down to management. you've got to have good, strong managers there. clearly, the manager knew those kids were there and knew they should not have been there. jon: yeah. i have kids, and when they were younger, i liked to bring 'em to work and let 'em sit in the anchor chair, but if you're a surgeon, you don't let your kid operate on people. [laughter] >> absolutely not. yeah, it does not work very well. jon: what's the atmosphere like in these control towers? for him to bring his child into the control tower, a supervisor presumably had to approve that, right, or at least look the other way? >> i'm guessing probably looking the other way. like you mentioned, you bring your kid into work, everybody's happy to have a little distraction rather than the old, surly coworkers you have, but working in a control tower, it's relatively intense work, you're working in a very close confine, so these guys spend a lot of time together. it's an interesting atmosphere in that it's almost i don't want to say militaristic, but it's a lot of bonding time in there because they do go through some very vennous times, so it does build a lot of rapport there. they're willing to cover up for each other on a situation like this where they know it's not right but, oh, he's a cute kid, let him talk to the aircraft for a little bit. jon: there were suggestions of controller distraction when that midair happened over the hudson this past summer. >> exactly. jon: there's not a lot of room for error and, you know, you feel bad for the kids and maybe even bad for the dad, but somebody wasn't thinking. scott brenner -- >> absolutely. jon: -- former chief spokesman for the faa. thanks, scott. >> thanks, jon. jane: a new threat to the white

of the hour, here's what's "happening now," brand new information on the stories fox is following for you. with elections in iraq three days away, the death toll is rising. melanie willings live from baghdad. >> reporter: jon, a series of bombings targeting early voters before sunday's national elections, 17 dead, 32 wounded. special need voters are casting their ballots today, mainly people with disabilities and the iraqi military who have to work on election day. security was tight, no cars anywhere near the polls, multiple patdown searches as you approached, but suicide bombers blew themselves up at the outer most checkpoint as voters lined up, jon. jon: an outpouring of support for three navy seals who face court-martial for their treatment of a suspected terrorist. catherine herridge on that in washington. >> reporter: thank you, jon. about two hours from now we're expecting a news conference with two member of congress,day in rohrabacher and dan burton, as well as matthew mccabe who is accused of mishandling or roughing up a detainee in iraq. the goal of the press conference is to push for those charges to be pulled, and a short time ago i spoke with a lawyer for matthew mccabe who says the navy seal is in good spirits, he believes in the military justice system and the facts will be on the three men's side. jon. jon: the western half of the country will see several storms move in over the weekend. what areas will see snow? how many inches can they expect? jan fist dean knows, janice? >> reporter: yes, jon. here's our first storm, last 48 hours moving into the interior mountain west, great news for ski resorts for some spring skiing, but as we go into saturday, watching southern california for this storm system. it's going to mean possible flooding and/or mudslides for the burn areas, so the west will remain active, the east is going to be quiet. maybe a spring-like weekend for us. jane, or -- jon, back to you. jon: i'll take it. that's your news whip. jane: want to get to some business news, brand new numbers out from retailers in this country, and jenna has good news, some of them beating expectations. solid gains for february. jenna: which means aside from the bad weather, we actually went out shopping. and it's interesting to find ott who did the shopping. most of the 28 retailers we looked at, about 80% of them the teen retailers doing particularly well. a lot of these comparisons are to a year-ago period where we saw unemployment spike, and it was just a really tough time. tough time now, but definitely a tough time last year. those comparisons are favorable for the retailers, and master orcard did a survey of who did shopping, men's clothing went with up, women's went down. women normally have the household finances under wraps, so if the we're not shopping for ourselves, that might mean we're a little worried about finances. jane: and finally we're not getting blamed for the big bills, for once! [laughter] jenna, thank you. jon? flsh. jon: there's a new threat today to derail the president's push for health care reform, this one coming from within his own party. michigan congressman bart stupak, the leading pro-life democrat in the house, says he and 11 other democrats are ready to kill the bill over the abortion language in it, dozens of other democrats also giving it a thumbs down for various reasons including ohio congressman dennis kucinich. he joins us now. you don't plan to vote for it this time either, is that correct, congressman? >> well, yes. i mean, that's because i think health care's a basic right, not a privilege that you get through the benevolence of insurance companies. jon: you're going to be meeting with the president within the hour, it's my understanding. i expect -- >> i will be.you know, anytime the president of the united states asks for a meeting, i'm going to be there. i respect the president, i respect the office, and i want to listen to what he has to say. jon: fair enough to say that you don't think that the bill that the house already passed is liberal enough? >> now, wait a minute, you know, you check with national journal, i'm a centrist. you need to understand that i took a stand for the american people on health care because i think health care's a right everyone should have. this bill is a sellout to the insurance companies. now, if it's the best we can do -- jon: well, let me read you a quote from a fellow named jim who wrote cleveland.com yesterday, he says, if you ask the nearly one-half of the country that currently pays no federal income taxes at all whether they want free health care paid for by the other half of the country, my guess is you can get pretty close to 50% of the country supporting this debacle of a health care bill. how do you answer him? >> oh, great. now everybody who's unemployed we're going to throw overboard. are you kidding? i mean, we have to, we have a moral responsibility. the thing about the united states, it's all for one and one for all. once that starts to break apart we don't have a nation anymore. we just have dog eat dog. i think about the total needs of the people, and i do it without ideology. i'm a very practical person. i have 43 years involved in politics, and i see it as a practical matter we need health care for everyone. it's good for business because, you know, right now businesses have a tremendous burden, great burden. the cost of health care is hitting everyone very hard, and one out of every three dollars is going to who? the insurance companies for their profits, stock options, executive salaries. that has nothing to do with health care. it's time we addressed the needs of the american people. i'm always interested to speak with the president, i'm going to hear what he has to say, and maybe there'll be something new. jon: so you think it's possible you could change your vote? >> i want say that, i said i want to hear what the president has to say. jon: well, i'm asking if you think it's possible. >> you know what? president of the united states wants to meet with me, it's an honor to meet with him, i'm going to listen to what he has to say, i will not before i meet with him do anything that would disparage what he's trying to do. i want to hear what he has to say. jon: but under the rules of reconciliation, the house has to pass the senate bill, and there are a great number of members of the house who don't like the senate bill, you included. fair? >> why did i vote against the house bill? because they took a public option out that was the only way to have any control over the insurance companies' premiums. insurance companies for four consecutive years, this'll be the fifth consecutive year have raised their premiums by double digits. they're pricing people out of insurance. and so people, we're expected to have the taxpayers subsidize that process and enable the insurance companies to get wealthier while the taxpayers take it in the neck? you know, that's -- there's fundamental problems with that. so i'm going to go to the white house, i look forward to speaking with my president, and we'll see what he has to say. jon: ohio congressman dennis kucinich, thanks. >> thank you. jane: well, some newly-released 911 tapes, jon, are giving a chilling glimpse into the ordeal of this young teacher. jennifer paulson was stalked by a guy who ended up killing her. >> what are you reporting? is. >> hi. i'm reporting someone who is, i have an antiharassment order out on somebody who is following me right now. jane: now a lot of people are asking, what more can be done to protect these victims? @=h jon: let's take a look at what's "happening now." in the top box, the convicted sex offender charged with killing chelsea king now the focus of two other investigations. san diego police are checking to see if john albert gardner is responsible for the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl last year and an attack on another teen a few months back with. in the middle box, syria denies nuclear activities. israeli war planes destroyed that facility two years ago. in the bottom, more trouble for uganda. heavy rains and flooding now displacing 20,000 people there. the severe weather also hampering search efforts to find victims of terrible landslides. jane: we've got some new trouble for toyota to tell you about, some drivers are now saying that the fix for a sticky gas pedal is really no fix at all. the owners telling the national highway traffic safety administration that their recalled vehicles are still suddenly speeding up even after the company repaired the problem. eric shawn's in the newsroom to explain exactly what's going on. >> reporter: now some toyota owners are saying the fix didn't work, and it is now being investigated by the feds, as you said, the national highway traffic safety administration investigating the complaints of at least ten toyota owners that that brake pedal problem still continues despite their car being recalled and brought into the shop and supposedly repaired. while toyota has been trying to do this to several million cars here in the states, they put a special device behind the gas pedal to make sure it doesn't stick or become in a bad condition because of wear and tear. they also reprogram electronics to try and kill the acceleration if there's a problem. one of the drivers is stu, a reporter who's covered the united states nationed for news max among other sites, he says his car went out of control on saturday. >> so the computer software revamp, from what i'm told, as well as working on the carpeting and gas pedal. but in the end whatever they did didn't work because i almost got into a serious accident last week after the fix was done. >> reporter: he's now driving a loaner car, the highway agency, by the way, has said they believe 52 people were killed in these type of stents though there are some -- accidents though there are some questions about that number. jane: what's toyota saying? >> they're saying they're confident they're safe and they're doing the correct repairs, here's a statement telling us that we're doing everything we can to insure that our customers are satisfied with the repairs we are making. we have rigorously tested the solutions that toyota engineers have developed and are aggressively investigating any complaints. and toyota says if anyone has any doubts or complaints they should take their car back to the dealer and call toyota. jane what about the federal government? we talk about the national highway traffic safety administration, what are they doing about it? >> reporter: they're saying if they have problems, they should contact them. this is isolated among less than a dozen or so toyota customers or potentially this is much more widespread. the problem, theoretically, could be greater than anyone had imagined. clearly, some people having concerns and problems with their cars, they say, even though they have been recalled and this fix has supposedly been done. jane: eric shawn in our newsroom, thanks. >> reporter: all right, jane. jon: a young woman goes to work as a teacher, and the guy who has been stalking her for years shoots her dead. why couldn't authorities protect her? the problem of stalking in this country, it's a whole lot worse than you might think. after all the rich holiday food... and activity you were...? a little irregular... sluggish. my daughter needed activia! so i took the activia challenge... wow. it works. now she has a spring in her step. i'm loving it. every morning. help get your system back on track. activia with bifidus regularis helps regulate your digestive system in two weeks. would you recommend activia?

>> hi, i'm reporting someone who is, i have an anti-harassment order out on somebody who is following me right now. he is someone i knew from college, and that's it. i never, ever dated him, nothing. >> so just a friend? >> no. i wouldn't even call him a friend. he's been -- i have an anti-harassment order out on him, he's been kind of stalking me. jane: a week later, this frantic 911 call came in. >> what are you reporting? >> hi. i have someone who's just been shot at birney elementary school. jane: jennifer did file a restraining order more than a year ago, she had this guy jailed, he was released and killed her the very same week. so the question her family and friends have been asking is what exactly happened here? on the phone with us is jennifer's dad, ken paulson. just let our viewers know how incredibly special your daughter was, by all ats had a -- accounts had a heart of gold, and her mom had said she knew this kid had some problems, and she even had prayed for him. what was their relationship? >> thank you. jane, there was no relationship. it was a stalking relationship. but that isn't really what i -- i'd like to talk about her life, if that would l be okay. jane: i know that you have a web site you've put many pictures up on to try and celebrate her life and just talk about how incredible she was, and i think a lot of people hope to use her case as an example of what needs to be reformed in the system. >> i hope they do use that. that would be just great with me. we don't want to see this happen to anybody else. jane: have there been frustrations, i can't i can imar you or family members with actuallyings in the justice system? >> you know, everybody's human. i don't know what i can identify with that. i'm not a lawyer, i'm not in that area of expertise. everybody's been just terrific and nice, and the police have been nice, and everybody, the sheriff sent me a card, everybody's been extremely, extremely overwhelmingly nice and helpful. jane there's one thing you wanted viewers to know about your daughter, what would it be? >> the headline after the memorial was demonstrated love. that was her life. jenny, we want jenny's life to inspire other people's lives. the memorial service is on the web at the church, and people can watch it. it's, when people talked, i didn't even know all these things that jennifer did for people. we talked for an hour behalf with everybody that wanted to after the service, and person after person, college professor, coworker, student, people who didn't know her, it's affected people's lives. we told them, if if you want what jenny has, do what jenny did which was pursue the lord and love and pursue the lord. that was her life's dream. jane: well, ken, our thoughts and prayers certainly are with you, and we thank you for taking the time today. the latest statistics show that more than three million people in this country are stalked every year, so the question really is, what can be done to protect these victims? dr. t.k. low began with is us, a professor at the university of kentucky, she's considered an expert on these issues. t.k., your thoughts. >> oh. first i want to express my deepest sorrow for the family and thank you for bringing attention to this issue because i think that's number one is we have to start paying attention. stalking is dangerous. it's not just dangerous for the victim and their family and tragic, but for the public at large as well. and i think that's one thing a lot of communities have not really focused on is how dangerous it is. it's easier just to look the other way and say it's not serious. jane: but it sounds like in this case she did everything right. she had taken out this anti-harassment order against him, she called when he was harassing her and got him jailed, but he was released. >> absolutely. we need law enforcement and the criminal justice system to have more tools to monitor, for example, maybe a gps monitoring system would have been, he might have been a good candidate for that if this community had that in place for stalkers. i don't know if they do. but even the stalking order she had that not every community or every state has that available to stalking victims. so they're, they even have fewer tools than what this victim had available. jane: t.k., i just have about 30 seconds left, but her mom even said, we knew he had some problem, we didn't think he was going to hurt her. we didn't think he was violent. is that common? >> it is common. many times victims and families and friends in the community don't think it's serious. it is serious. you don't know which ones are going to turn into violents and which ones aren't, so every case of stalking has to be taken seriously, and there are some flags. for example, when the court order has been broken by a stalker, that is a huge flag that close monitoring of that offender, of that stalker needs to be done. and also some other indicators like the intrusiveness and really looking at that course of conduct. and just for victims to just say you have to sometimes really persist in your safety and with the criminal justice system. it sounds like they did a do what they could. maybe they could have done more, i don't know what tools that community had available to them. jane: t.k. logan, thank you. >> thank you. jon: guys, once you hit adulthood, you start hearing the advice over and over again: prostate cancer screening. well, we'll tell you a little bit more about that straight ahead. to control my diabetes, to stay healthy - and get on with my life. it comes from liberty medical. and now, it's not only where i get my diabetes testing supplies - but it's where i get my prescription drugs as well. see if you're on medicare, the cost of your diabetes testing supplies as well as your prescription drugs may be covered. liberty takes care of all the paperwork with medicare and sends the prescription forms directly to your doctor for approval. then, on your schedule, packs up this box and sends it right to your door with no charge for shipping. and liberty assures you have everything you need to manage your diabetes, including most brand name meters. call now and we'll send you a free meter. plus, a free cookbook when you join. call liberty. they can help you live a better life. call the number on your screen. jon: the american cancer society warns routine screening for prostate question is of -- cancer is of questionable value. guidelines are not changing but the cancer society is urging doctors to talk frankly with their patients about the psa blood test. it can spot cancers but the
