0 death. the lone survivor wasn't completely buried. his left arm was free so he was able to clear snow from his face to help him breathe. after about four hours rescue teams eventually freed him. those are your headlines. >>steve: we've got a lot of news to update you on regarding the boston marathon bombers. first of all, we have told you that apparently the older brother was at the attention of the united states of america. now we know he was actually -- tamerlan -- was on two watch lists. in march of 2011 the russians called the f.b.i. and said you've got to do something about it. then in september of 2011 they contacted the c.i.a., the russians did, and said you should keep an eye on that guy because he has been involved with extremists while he's been traveling over here. >>gretchen: the headline in the story is that he never ended up on the watch list with the c.i.a., which is really problematic and more information keeps coming out. why? we're not exactly sure. that's going to be the big the f.b.i. wanted to talk to him as long as they possibly could under the public safety exemption. then out of nowhere shows up a federal district judge by the name of mary ann bauer arrived at the hospital with public defends and said can we talk to him. next thing you know, read him his rights. the f.b.i. is furious. they wanted to get more from him. >>brian: two officials with knowledge of the f.b.i. said the f.b.i. was against stopping the investigations, was stunned that the judge and public defender showed up feeling valuable intelligence may have been sacrificed as a result. exactly what we discussed this week. the experts -- let the f.b.i. do their job. instead a judge waltzes in, asks the doctors is he lucid, is he conscious? they said he's in and out. what was necessary about this? >>gretchen: i thought about you when i read that this morning, brian, because i know you have been upset about the way in which that happened and whether or not he should have been an enemy combatant. the public safety clause where you can question somebody without reading their miranda rights or charging them with anything if it has to do with the safety of the public. more and more information now coming out about how this is all handled. in the meantime there is a congressman who says we don't need to know the classified information, but we can judge by the results. he is going to blame the obama administration for five attacks that have happened, or almost attacks here in the united states since president obama has taken office. here's arkansas congressman tom cotton. >> i rise today to express grave doubts about the obama administration's counterterrorism policies and programs. counterterrorism sofpb shrouded in -- is often shrouded in secrecy as it should be. let us judge by the results. and barely four years in office, five jihaddists have reached their targets in the united states under barack obama. >>steve: and so who are they? let's go to the big board. we're talking about the boston bombers, we're talking about the underwear bomberrers, times square bomber, fort hood shooter. kphopbg cotton said under george bush how many terrorists reached their target in the united states? zero. he said we need to ask why the obama administration is failing to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets? >>brian: many would say islamist extremists are trying to kill us and we have to do everything to stop them before they kill us. most of the islamic community to stand up and squelch that islam i can almost because -- islamist element. if that is not going to happen, what is plan b? can we at least identify it on a regular basis so we're aware of this instead of saying a radical or pretending this is a guy who had no job that was wandering around and wanted to make an impact. >>gretchen: history will prove as we look back over the next couple of decades how the terminology has changed or not changed the war on terror. this president did not want to call it the war on terror. instead it was overseas contingency operations. and yet we have had more terrorist attacks. it will be interesting to see how history looks at this and determines whether or not terminology, changing policies, if that had anything to do long term with the security of this country. >>steve: let's take you back to that terrible day in boston. do you remember that picture of the guy with the cowboy hat? he was pushing -- there is the guy with the cowboy hat, helped save the life of the guy in the wheelchair. that guy is jeff baumann, 27 years old, lost both his legs. he wound up with a new wheelchair in the hospital a day or two ago and suddenly he had such freedom, he said he felt inspired. what he wanted to do, he wanted to share a gift with a young 18-year-old girl by the name of sidney cochran, celebrating her 18th birthday in a nearby hospital ward. >>gretchen: that brings it to light when i saw that photo today. he does not have his legs sitting in the wheelchair and he almost died from losing so much blood from shrapnel wounds. i believe the mom is also a double amputee as a result of this. that is one of the victims. that put into light what the terrorists did to so many people. >>steve: the mother's name is celeste cochran. she was visited by two marines who were so inspiring, the video went on youtube immediately. take a look at this. >> [inaudible] >> right now. i'm telling you with all of my heart you are going to be [inaudible] than you ever were. >> so glad to hear. i can't believe you're the same. >> i almost joked around like i'm not super athletic. i like to work out but running has never been my thing because i always get horrible shin splints. so i'm like hey, i don't have shins anymore. i can do this. >>brian: he had his legs amputated and he's trying to pick up her spirits. he said this is not the end. this is just the beginning. straight ahead we have a lot more show coming your way. forget those long lines at the airport. the sequester could be the difference between life and death? >> the sequester could also cost the country in humankind, a cure for aids, parkinson's disease or cancer. >>brian: is senator harry reid right? do i even have to ask that question? >>gretchen: when you thought it couldn't get worse, the anthony weiner problem keeps growing. >>brian: you mean our >>brian: you mean our next mayor?

>>steve: that's at least according to senator harry reid. >> most of the headlines are focused on the hours the sequester has caused travelers at airports across the nation. the frustration and economic effects of these delays should not be minimized. but the sequester could also cost the country in humankind: a cure for aids, parkinson's disease or cancer. >>steve: okay. once again, you've got a democrat, stuart varney, who essentially is saying republicans want to kill people. >> that is clearly, absolutely over the top. senator reid is desperate here. that's a sign of desperation right there because the p.r. battle, the p.r. war that he launched is not working. the public is not blaming republicans for these delays at the airports. it's not blaming republicans for this so-called armageddon that is supposed to be coming at us. harry reid is desperate. he's making these outrageous claims. sequester cuts prevent a cure for cancer? i mean, that is absolute nonsense and it is over the top nonsense from a man who is losing the p.r. battle. that is my opinion. >>brian: i talked with the chairman of the kr-pgs committee. they have the flexibility, the last people you have to lay off are the air traffic controllers. there's plenty of other things you can do. it's easy to move the money around. it is basically maximum pain to the american people. >> deliberate maximum pain. now there is a revolt within the democrat part. several leading democrats have said they want legislation -- and they're going to propose it this week, maybe today or tomorrow, which says f.a.a., you do have flexibility. you can move the money around. harra reid is in reteeth. he launched -- harry reid is in retreat. he said you're not going to get a cure for cancer, instead of demanding tax increases from the republicans. he's desperate. >>brian: the military has taken enough on the chin in this entire process. 50% of these cuts have been to the military already. they should cut it out of the $2 billion worth out of obamacare, money set aside to sell obamacare to the american people. >> which they are not going to cut. or the near $1 million that the federal reserve spends on empty accounts in servicing them. the list goes on. >>steve: obviously this has blown up in their face. check out stuart's show. he works in the next studio but you've got to go to another channel to watch it. he's on fox business, "varney and company" 9 #:20 # eastern time. >>brian: the same folks in congress who didn't read the bill but passed it any way are about to get a pass on obama care. >>steve: does breathing into a paper bag really stop you from hyperventilating?
