constitution? >> how well it is that we have lastedç some 400 years operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not. >> hey, sheila, you're a few hundred years off unless benjamin franklin was at jamestown. boy. mornings are better with friends. >> "fox & friends" with brian kilmeade, elisabeth hasselbeck and 2014's distinguished kansan of the year, steve doocy. >> steve, it's unbelievable. >> thank you. >> you're back. >> i was in georgia. >> i guess you're writing the copy for the announcement for the show. clearly. >> how funny is back. what did i miss? repeat everything in real time. >> we don't know where to begin, but sadly i cannot believe we're looking at day six and we still don't know what happened to thatç plane. we have no clues. >> we have denials and some new information. a lot of confusion and truly devastation for families that are waiting. >> there is one nugget out there that is going to have -- that is going to launch a million conspiracy theories about the engines and somebody turning off the transponders. we're going to get to that after we get to the headlines breaking from texas. >> hi there, steve. great to have you back. i'm happy you got to spend all that time with your kids. >> i know. it was spring break 2014. >> nothing better for a parent. i've got headlines. while you were sleeping tragedy hits in austin, texas.ç a drunk driver plowing into a crowd outside a bar leaving at least two people dead and dozens more have been hurt. >> they ran over all the people. i turned around and saw 20, 30 people flying up in the air and a police car coming behind him. >> police were chasing the driver when that driver lost control of his car. after the crash he tried to outrun the cops but didn't get far. he is in custody at this hour. we'll keep you posted on developments. he has been behind bars for 43 convicted along with charles manson for murder but this morning we're learning that bruce davis seen here could soon walk free. a california board approving parole for the former manson follower. the 71-year-old was sentenced along with manson for the murders of two people in 1969 but before he is-q&eased he has to get past governor jerry brown who chose to keep him behind bars under the same circumstances just last year. the death toll sadly is rising this morning in that gas explosion that took place yesterday in harlem, new york. the death toll now stands at six. crews are frantically digging through the rubble even at this hour still looking for nine people who are unaccounted for. more than 60 others were hurt, including three children. that blast flattened two buildings and was so strong that it registered a five on the earthquake seismograph. listen to this. >> it knocked me from my bed on the floor. yes, it did. it was really loud. scared2me to death. >> i thought i was going to die in my apartment and my kids won't have a mom. >> take a look at these before and after pictures of these buildings. the buildings actually side by side before and after, just a smoking pile of debris. we'll keep you posted throughout the morning. a former in sync member lance saying bye bye bye through one of his tweets. ♪ ♪ he sent out a link to promote the health care exchange, you know obamacare, but it was the wrong website. healthcare.org, not healthcare.gov. he quickly deleted it pointing out brain fart -- pardon me -- that's me saying pardon me. i've been dealing with too many charitiesç lately. >> it's a wonderful charity. >> the president talked with them and all the celebrities a lot about promoting obamacare. >> mr. in sync is out of sync. >> i love that charity. >> let's talk about malaysian airlines 370. where the heck is the airplane? there is a report in the "wall street journal" today that -- this is the crazy thing -- they say the airplane stayed in the air four hours after its last confirmed location. in other words, it was in the air five hours, which suddenly the circle of where that thing could be is that big. that airplane could pakistan. >> that circle you're seeing there, that expansion of territory for search was based on the four hours, the speed of 480 knots, giving an additional 2,200 extra nautical miles to search for this missing airline. >> you've got 80 ships, about 12 nations working on it. tensions are beginning to explode between vietnam, between malaysia and between china and especially the families. when i left off yesterday -- and this is a mystery that never stops -- i thought the chinese zeroed in on what looks like wreckage. it is just a matter of time of getting there. they'll probably pull it out. but just like this story which has been so frustrating, it turns out to be absolutely nothing. therefore, our investigators -- and basically that's what i look for now. u.s. investigatorsç because we, again, seem to make the most sense. we are now looking at our counter terrorism officials pursuing the possibility that the pilot or someone else on board the plane may have diverted it to an undisclosed location, possibly even pakistan. >> here's the reason we're able to say this. the airplane stayed in the air four hours longer and they're able to know that because the 777 sends out routine data about how the engines are working. and it goes to royals royce, the manufacturer of the particular motors. and so it looks like the data continued to go outç four hours after the transponder stopped. some are wondering whether or not somebody, a rogue pilot or somebody else may have turned off the transponders to avoid detection. at a briefing officials were told investigators are pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted -- quote -- "with the intention of using it later for another purpose." we should also point out that apparently mall hraeugs officials -- malaysian officials have spoken to at least one of the families. >> they were addressing sabotage and personal and psychological issues the crew may have had. chad sweet,ç former homeland security official said we cannot at this point by any means rule out terrorism. >> i think as c.i.a. director brennan has stated right now at least even with the pattern you have described you cannot rule out terrorism at this point. there is clearly a situation here where the transponder was turned off and no one can explain why. in a world where in hollywood we're seeing movies like "homeland" or accusations from people like edward snowden saying the governments can track our every movement, it is hard for the people in china, theç people with malaysia all around the world, those with citizens on board that flight, to understand how over 200 people can vanish. >> that was the debate last night. let's move on to something else you did miss. one of the thing you did miss was another executive order. the president of the united states said i asked the country to raise minimum wage from $7 to over $10. that stalled. but there's something i can do, i don't need help with and that is change the rules and thresholds when it comes to overtime pay. game on. >> certainly it is. this is critical. perhaps a polling reaction. so obamacare not polling well. you know, americans right now not responding well. those that are running for mid term elections running away from the wez and aligning --ç running away from the president and aligning with obamacare. perhaps raising the minimum wage will sound pretty good to voters. >> keep in mind if you're going to raise the minimum wage at a federal level, congress has got to do that. administratively he can raise the threshold for when overtime kicks in. right now if you're, for instance, a white-collar employee, after 40 hours, it looks like unless you make $50,000 a year, your boss is going to have to pay you overtime. right now most employees are exempt from paying their -- exempt from overtime if theyç make over $455 per week. but it looks like the president would like to jack that up to close to $1,000 a week. i mean, it would be great if you're on the receiving end of that. but unfortunately, you know, it's supply and demand. the higher the labor costs go, the fewer people will actually wind up with jobs. >> it has economists concerned. they're worried it's more expensive to hire people if you follow this formula. they're worried doing the numbers alone it also sort of undercuts work ethic here that if you want to make an impression on your employer, go the extra mile they will now, based on numbers, they will have to say you can't work a little harder and get ahead because i can't affordç that. >> unless there is some mechanism in the law that forces business owners to shell out more money, by law they're going to react by guess what? not letting you work that much or not making new hires. on the surface, time and a half, the president and the administration go to bat for us. but upon further review and the thing that there's a reaction to every action, you see that it's going to affect the economy negatively. to the president's point, though, you have this berkeley professor that comes out and says the top 1% have had a 31% raise while the bottom 99% have had a .4% raise but a lot of that bottom 4% gets up towards the 1% because youç have advancement in your profession and another thing called entry level jobs that you show a good performance and rise up through that organization. >> liberals are just angry that over the last couple of years, particularly during this administration, there have been a lot of businesses that have profited and wages and salaries ha stagnated. so what they're doing simply is redistribution of income. we've been talking about that for years, and this is a berate example of -- and this is a great example of it. what is at play, and elisabeth, to your first point, it was about polling. it sounds great, if you work more than 40 hours you're going to get overtime unless you make $50,000 a year. it is all about the fact that the obamacare mandates and the affordable care act is not so affordable. it is -- got people inside the white house sweating and so what they're doing is trying to change the subject. >> tql us your slogan. what is the new american -- what is the new american work ethic? do you have a new slogan to describe how it is discouraging those it seems that want to work more to get further along, with these new rules do you have a slogan you think we can build on and the administration might be able to work with. >> it used to be work hard and get ahead. >> send them to facebook or twitter. you can stop working for $5 million. and that man just pulled up to our studio. that is his limo. >> president obama is cracking jokes withç celebrities to make obamacare popular among younger people. so how can the g.o.p. compete with that. congressman sean duffy says there is a way, and he joins us live. >> a new study shows on average millenials are getting married seven years later than previous generations because why would you need a relationship when you have your parents h.b.o. go password?

joining us to discuss it congressman sean duffy. good morning, congressman. what are the g.o.p. to do? is it lost? all these new studies coming out showing the millenials are largely independent with a lean to the left. so are they a lost cause when it comes to chasing their vote? >> no, they're not. there is another point out there that shows support for the president has dropped dramatically. he's upside down in support from this millenial group.ç the president comes across as being pretty cool. the video that you referenced he's pretty funny in. but they might like the president. they might see the president as cool but his policies for millenials are not very cool at all. getting out of college with big debt isn't cool. living in your parents' basement isn't cool. getting a college degree and working for minimum wage isn't cool. the n.s.a. spying on you isn't cool. there is a chance for the republican party reaching out to young americans and talk about limited opportunity and all the benefits the previous generations have had that could be theirs as well if we could get back on track with a traditional form of government. >> it's interesting because you get to this point in life -- and i'm sure millenials feel this way -- where you get out of college and living this independent style but now4j4(p3 the government is telling them what to do all the time, mandate this, mandate that, and they're there all the while living, dependent on their parents. what is there for them? are they to count some politicians out? rand paul? >> i think rand paul is a great example and cpac is a great example. if you look through the cpac crowd some might claim there is a lot of old guys there but this is a movement that says we want more government out of our lives. we want more independence, liberty, freedom. i think you see that on our side of the aisle. no doubt the president has had a hugeç impact on the youth of america. but they have become disenchanted with them. i think it is kind of like back in the 80's when i grew up. you don't get a ronald reagan tph-lgs you have the failed policies of jimmy carter. i think obama is the jimmy carter for this generation. right now if the g.o.p. can effectively communicate and have the right tone, i think the opportunity is really great with young americans to come on over to our side of the aisle. >> how is the g.o.p. strategically and specific specifically, you say communicate. that is a message but also a means. >> first of all, i think you have to listen to them. our house conference is doing what is called the millenial meet-up. we're bringing a whole bunch of young members of this millenial generation into washington, d.c. we're sitting downç listening to them. they care about a lot of issues. some of them are social issues. but they also care about national security. they care about peace because if we have conflict -- and we've seen iraq and afghanistan -- we ask this generation to fight those wars. so we see this as an opportunity to talk about strength in our military because through strength we get peace. and what the president is offering them is a limited foreign policy, a limited strength within our military means. if you have that limited, those limited assets, i think you invoke aggression from others around the world. i think ukraine is a great eésple. i think there is an opportunity on the foreign policy side as well. >> congressman duffy, we thank you for being on "fox & friends" this morning. we will continue to listen in. thanks. imagine that. listening instead of telling the millenials what to do. oh, a new theory. listen to this. one day he's stuck in traffic. the next he's outside the studio in a limo. look at this. millions in his pocket. millions in his pocket. coming up. ...return on investment wall isn't a street... isn't the only return i'm looking forward to... for some, every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal. quick headlines now. the federal energy regulatory commission says the u.s. could risk a national blackout if saboteurs hit just nine of the country's 55,000 electronic transmission stations. lights out at the capitolç dome? high winds caused problems with the power supply. the lights stayed on inside the capitol building. it took about 30 minutes to get the lights back on. the dome was fully lit and relit by 9:00 p.m. our next guest actually helped them. >> meanwhile, not many people can say they like being stuck in traffic but we promise you'll never look at the ride to work the same after this story. >> our next guest had a spur of the moment stop to buy a ticket. they are joining us now. welcome. congratulations. do you have $5 i canç borrow. >> tell us the story. put us there in plain view when you are in traffic. >> when i was in traffic, what happened was it was just backed up. so i got on the radio and i turned on the news and it said there was a tractor-trailer hit an overpass on the southern state parkway. >> they don't belong there. >> exactly. i said this is going to take hours to get home and i left the job early so i would beat the traffic. and i took sunrise highway and ended up on jerusalem avenue. at that point i said i'm going nowhere. so i started taking all the back roads and ended up in the plain view shopping center, and i stopped in the lotto store and i bought six tickets across, and i got -- i just skrarbd the bar code. -- skrarbd the -- krafpdç the bar code and stuck the first one under. it said sorry loser, second one sorry, loser. the fifth one said you're a big winner. sign immediately. i said this is a joke. i did it again and it said you're a big winner. sign immediately. i started scratching. i got to third from last. 20 on top, 20 on the bottom. i scratched that and it said life. i said i'm a freakin' winner. i'm a winner! and the people in the store said what happened? i said i freakin' won! >> you have played forever, for the most part? >> yes. >> you told donna if you ever hit, whqá would you do? >> i'm going to send a limo to pick you up from your job. and when you walk outside and you saw that limo there, you know you hit the lottery. >> there was a problem, though. you called everybody in the yellow pages and? >> i could not get a limo for no reason at all. >> so you ripped up the ticket and said the heck with this? >> no. i called donna after that. i go out with my friends, my father every thursday night. so i picked my father up, and she goes out with her friends. donna goes out with her friends. and what i said to her was at this point i'm not going out. i really feel sick. you've got to come home. she knows i never get sick to not go out with my father and friends on a thursday night. i go you've got to get home. she goes are you all right? should i send an ambulance? i said no, i'm fine.ç i said i feel like throwing up but it's a good throw-up. >> then you revealed you are the big winner. what are you guys going to do with the money? >> take care of any debt situations we have and donna's daughter is going married, nicole, and we're going to make a bigger and larger wedding than we already are planning. >> what about work? are you going to quit your job? >> no. i love my job. i have a lot of customers and i just want to keep them. >> donna, your reaction? >> unbelievable. so grateful, first of all. there is someone lookingç over us up there. that's for sure. >> you were unable to find a limo that day but we have one for you today. >> and you're going to pay for it. >> he's a man of his word. >> thank you for having us. >> couldn't happen to two nicer people. every year you're going to get your check so live a long time, eat right and exercise. >> until 130. >> have a nice wedding. >> we expect to be invited. >> coming up, pop quiz. how old is the u.s. constitution? and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not. >> a congresswoman. 400 years? you're off by a longç shot. >> did you wake up with a headache this morning?

>> you can take it as a pill or look for foods like this. >> you have the spinach? >> magnesium? >> spinach hasç more magnesium than any other food does. beans have a lot, potatoes have a lot. but you can take 600 milligrams of magnesium and get even more of an effect. if you want to eat spinach, get like popeye and get rid of that migraine before it even happens. >> once again, if you eat a balanced diet, you pretty much are going to cover the magnesium and also the riboflavin? >> that is the most important thing. migraine sufferers will tell you stay away from the wine, beer, chocolate. when you go to the ball game, have water. water is the most important thingç because dehydration causes migraines. >> i think some people are born more likely to have migraines. >> genetic and wepbl two to three -- and women two to three times greater than men. >> until we can get that headband with the electrodes. >> people in my family get migraines regularly. clearly i'm the carrier. >> you don't have migraines. you eat plenty of spinach?

[ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. president obama can't even balance the nation's budget, but he's dishing out advice for millions of americans, finding out the hard way his affordable care act is not so affordable. here is his response to a man at a recent town hall who told the president he was struggling to pay for his obamacare. >> if you look at that person's budget and you looked at their cable bill, their cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on, it may turn out that they haven't prioritized health care. >> yeah. he needs to prioritize it. joining us with reaction is republican political strategist leslie sanchez who joins us from los angeles. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so that guy hi forum just hasn't priority oozed things. -- prioritized things. he needs to put the affordable care act, which turns out is not so affordable, in front of other things, like cable and telephone and things like that. >> let's face it, the president is the 1% and i think this is another example of him being completely disconnected from the reality of the situation. the reality is that many families, especially hispanic families, are struggling because of this president's economy, his failed policies, and a very expensive health care law that is really hurting many of the middle class families. but it's extraordinarily condescending for the president to cast judgment, say this gentleman is not prioritizing his budget when that's not only a reflection of poor understanding of latino, but we've already cut the cable because of this bad economic news. >> when you look at national debt, it's something like $17 trillion, which he's driven us into this hole. yet he's telling us how to budget our finances. the fellow who asked the question was making $36,000 a year. it's extraordinary that the president would think a if you're making $36,000 a year, $3,600 a year for obamacare is reasonable because it simply isn't. help us understand the situation latinos are in. >> the reality is that so many are facing -- latinos are very much facing the heart of this economic crisis. we have the lowest number of jobs since the depression. you're seeing a high number of foreclosures, a lot of entrepreneurialism in the hispanic community, but facing a tremendous amount of red tape and obamacare is another layer on top of that. what's striking is the president is talking about cut your cable or cut your cell phone. latinos are leading in technology when it comes to mobile phones. we're conducting business. we're sending money to our families. we're staying connected. in many cases it's a thriving part of our family's pocketbook and bringing income in. it's just another example, the president's disconnected. he's hurting latino families and consistently, since he's been campaigning in 2007, 2008, he's proven consistently not to understand our community. >> apparently he doesn't even understand that the affordable care act is not affordable because eventually it that guy's question, he said, you should just sign up for medicaid. >> the funny part is two things. one, the president made this statement when he was talking to spanish language television viewers. it's something that i think english media would have caught on right away at how condescending the comment was. the president is relying on latino vote force bolster okay -- to bolster obamacare, families, period. so they've seen only 20% of enrolled, a big concern for the administration. and a lot of the reason is not only did the web site have false information, not enough bilingual counselors, but poor translation, but they're finding the premiums are still too high regardless of the fact they have a federal subsidy to help them. disconnecting when it comes to minority communities and it's too expensive. >> speaking of disconnecting, thank you very much. we'll be right back. lots more, two minutes. good morning. it's thursday, march 13, 2014. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. tragedy strikes the south by southwest music festival overnight, leaving two people dead. we have the breaking developments coming up. new details about the missing plane this morning that have investigators taking a terrifying turn, like was the plane diverted towards pakistan for another purpose? we're going to tell what you we know. and it's the adorable on-line video that people have been talking about all week. ♪ ♪ >> they look like they're just animated. but those are real kids. you're going to meet that family of dancing sisters here live this hour on this thursday morning because #morningsarebetterwithfriends. >> this is allen thicke. you're watching "fox & friends." get a life. that was a little bit of a disat the end. >> funny guy. >> i remember his late night show. remember he was going to take on carson? that lasted a week. >> in the thick of the night, something like that. >> in the dark or something like that. you're not going to believe this, but steve is back. >> i'm back. been on vacation. >> the president is coming off a hard hitting interview and you're not going to believe this, the disappearance of this plane, we are more in the dark today than we were before you left for vacation. >> right. the information that you go to bed with seems to be quite different than the information that you get when you wake up. so the latest has investigators pursuing the notion that the plane was actually diverted with the intention of using it for another purpose. this they're basing on this new search range here. as the engine apparently was reported sending information back to the manufacturer, citing the actual miles that it could have potentially gone. the point it last had contact, at the speed it was going, 480 knots, actually yields an additional 2200 extra nautical miles to search. they're saying this could mean the plane could be in pakistan. >> sure. so what they're basing this on is the 777, what it does is the engines send outbursts of information every half hour. apparently the plane was sending these bursts out four hours after the last known contact. so it could have been anywhere around there. malaysian officials deny that. they said that's not true. but in this country at the briefing, officials were told that investigators are pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted with the intention of using it later for another purpose. foul play, hijacking, rogue pilot, we don't know. we know the search continues there. however, chad sweet, who was with homeland security once upon time, said at this point you simply cannot rule out terrorism. >> i think as c.i.a. director brennan stated, right now at least, even with the fact that you described, you can not rule out terrorism at this point. as was just discussed, there is clearly a situation here where the transponder was turned off. no one can explain why. in a world where in hollywood we see movies like "homeland" or people like edward snowden that the governments around the world can track our every call and movement, it's hard for both the people of china and the people of malaysia and all around the world with citizens on board that flight, understand how 229 people can just vanish. >> do we know -- >> the one thing -- what i did think we were going to talk about today because the chinese have a loft resources is the recovery of what was left of the plane because they showed us some aerial shots and it looked like it could be plane wreckage. it wasn't it. we also heard two days ago that the left turn that the plane allegedly made, they did make it. then by the end of the day, they said. i don't know where you think that story came from. it didn't do that. by the way, here is some of those aerial shots we were looking at yesterday. >> those were taken on sunday. by the time they got there on wednesday, there is a possibility they sank or they simply drifted way off. >> all this while less than 24 days of battery life left in the black boxes, which could have some information there. >> good luck. >> which they're actually orange. >> the president of the united states later today is going to announce -- the whole income disparity thing, inequality thing, he has been pushing for a higher minimum wage. however, you require congress to sign on to that. however, he can use executive order to up overtime pay and the limit would be if you make less than $50,000 a year and you work time and a half, your boss is going to have to pay you overtime, if the president gets his way. it sounds like he's going to use pen and a phone to do this. >> which sounds great. you take this overtime extra pay this would be mandated by this executive order. certainly politically sounds great. maybe in polling sounds great. but economists are laughing at the notion that the government can adjust this price without some sort of huge consequence when it comes to labor and bosses who will then say, wait a second, this is too expensive for me to expand the breadth of my employees here. what about the american worker who says, you know, i'm going to put in a couple of extra hours 'cause i want to make a good impression on my boss. not anymore 'cause the boss will have to say, i can't afford that either. >> you have to go home because i don't want to have trouble with the labor department, so therefore, you cannot work extra time. there was an implicit deal when you first start a job, you do everything you can to get a job to prove you can take on more than you have, you deliver more than you're required, but i guess that's done now. we have to reproach how we purchase work if this is going to go forward. it looks like he'll push this forward. which makes us wonder, how would you come up with a slogan for our country? >> we asked you and you responded. tom on facebook says, the slogan for the nation now should be, ask not what you can do for your country. ask what your country can do for you. thank you. >> sharon on facebook said, work less, get more. >> right. and another writes, sit back, relax. and let the other guy do the work. >> another on facebook, america, home of entitlements. >> keep it up. so here is a question, is this about politics? is this clearly a play about the mid terms? >> yes. >> thanks, steve. i wouldn't mind if someone yelled out the answer. ed henry asked that question of jay carney, about the minimum wage, looking at what just happened with the overtime. listen to this exchange. >> jay, this focus today, women and the economy, minimum wage, overtime pay increases, all important policy areas as was discussed. but will you also acknowledge these are also issues that test pretty well in an election year and a lot better to focus on than say the health care numbers that might help new the midterm? >> you know what? i think every woman in here ought to be offended by that. i'm offended by it on behalf of my wife and daughter. it's crazy. >> you know what jay carney's wife should be offended about, would be the fact that barak obama's white house pays men more than women. the war on women starts at the white house. >> i didn't know that. >> absolutely. women in the white house, this white house make less than the men do. are they talking about that? no. >> of course not. also they should be equally offended that the vice president asked them to step out of the workplace when they have a baby and just take some time off and who needs that job anyway. that's offensive. >> and cancel your cable and phone. >> jay carney expects us to buy that he was offended. >> sweet talking america is offensive across the board. not only women. >> as a country, let's agree not to be offended anymore. can we? let's start here. >> that's not our nature. >> and bossy on top of it. >> how dare you! >> i'm going to hand over my bossy friend there, heather, for some headlines. >> nothing offends any of you guys. i've known you long enough to know that. >> we quietly. >> thank you. got sad news for you. while you were sleeping, tragedy hits south by southwest music festival in austin, texas. a drunk driver plowed into a crowd people outside of a bar, leaving at least two people dead and dozens more have been hurt. >> they ran over all the people. turned around and saw like 20, 30 people flying up in the air. police car coming behind them. >> police were chasing the driver when he lost control of his vehicle. after the crash, he tried to outrun the cops, but didn't get far. that suspect has been arrested and charged with capital murder. he has been in jail 43 years, convicted with charles manson for murder. bruce davis could soon walk free. a california board once again approving parole for the former follower of charles manson. the 71-year-old was sentenced along with manson for the murders of two people back in 1969, but before he's released, he will have to get approval of governor jerry brown. he chose to keep him behind bars under the same circumstances just last year. so he may not get out after all. and remember the new jersey teen-ager who sued her parents for school tuition after moving out? she's now waking up at home this morning. her parents' attorney explaining what's ahead in that family's very public dispute. listen to this. >> this is going to be a long road, one that they just started. she returned last night. everything went great. >> okay. so it's all settled you would think. right? wrong. the teen-ager's lawyer filed an emergency application to have a guardian appointed in that case, saying the teen-ager's parents are pressuring her to withdraw the lawsuit against them. a judge, though, denied that emergency request. a dramatic story out of colorado. a four-year-old little boy who was left in his mother's running car was then taken on a dangerous high-speed chase in colorado. officers say that a wanted man stole the mini van from a convenience store. fortunately the little boy is okay today. but we're hearing this from police. according to them, the suspect drove with the boy in the vehicle for more than an hour. eventually ditching him and the suv and then stealing a different car. the suspect also hit a state trooper's car, but was stopped after he hit another car in the intersection. it was pretty involved. police arrested him after a chase on foot. the good news is that that little boy is okay. another reminder, never leave a child alone in a car. >> well, a running car. not only was the kid in there -- >> you get arrested for that, not safe, and look what happened to this little boy. but thankfully he's okay. >> so many children in the world. have you noticed. >> there are a lot of children in the world. we need to keep them as safe as we can. >> it's 7:11 in new york city. coming up, it's funded by the government, so why is amtrak giving away free rides? you know what? we're all paying for them. then a major blow to democrats. republican david jolly taking the big win in florida. so why are the other networks simply ignoring the story? larry sabato on that next. >> bad news for the president. it looks like obamacare will miss its enrollment target of 7 million people by march 31. only 4 million signed up so far. republicans haven't been this excited since the invention of of -- >> republican victory in florida on tuesday. david jolly shocking his opponent in a district president obama won twice. with the gop only needing six seats to flip the senate their direction, could this be a sign of a republican wave in 2014? joining us to bring sense to all this with his crystal ball is the director of the university of virginia's center for politic, dr. larry sabato. so what do you read first -- before i get your take on the election, look how this was covered the next day. let's take a look what the networks did with the results. we see abc, cbs, as well as -- you see the full screen, no mention on abc. no mention on nbc. no mention on cbs after the sink loss. your reaction? >> i think it's odd. either there was a lot of build-up to this particular election and clearly as special elections go, this one was considered important by both sides. what the internal editorial process was in each network, i couldn't tell you. but i was surprised to hear that none of them covered it. >> in a district that's 50/50 republicans and democrats, what do you learn about obamacare playing a role in the next election by look at tuesday's election? >> democrats are in disarray, brian, about what to do. you remember the democrat, alex sink, ran on hey, obamacare is basically good, but let's fix it. the parts that don't work, let's fix it. well, we saw how that fixed her in the election. it didn't work. now democrats really don't know what to do. do they defend it outright? do they try and avoid it entirely? do they continue with the line that the democratic nominee in florida 13 used? there is no good option for them and of course, that's energized republican troops. >> you bring some formulas to the anarchy, which is voting. shear one of them. the president comes in with approval rating at 41%. year six of his eight years in office. what does it mean for the final midterm for him? >> brian, it means that he's gog have a second bad midterm. he had a bad midterm in 2010 and he'll have another in 2014. it's march. we don't know how bad it's going to be, but it is going to be bad. i have been saying for months the republicans will not only hold the house, they will pick up additional seats. i can't put a number on it yet. in the senate, it's looking more and more likely that the republicans will be able to certainly get past an additional four seats and might well be able to get six or more seats in the senate to take control. think about what that means for president obama's last two years if the republicans are in charge of both house of congress. suppose there is a supreme court vacancy? >> it's a great point. you also say there is a formula to it. if the president has 41%. what does a democrat have to do to win a district in which the president is under water? >> look, if you're talking, for example, about southern states where some of these democratic incumbent senators are running for reelection, the president is at 41% nationally. he is at low to mid 30s in many of these states. what does the democrat do? try to keep the president out of the state would be a good start. but it's very tough to separate yourself in this polarized era when you share the same party label. you're a democrat. he's a democrat. guess what? the republican candidates are going to use that against you. it's perfectly legitimate. >> everybody is trying to spin. paul is one democrat who said they should not try to spin it, his party, this should learn from it. let's see if they do. as david axelrod said, these candidates cannot run from obamacare. they should sit there and fight for it. if that's the case, i think it's game on. dr. sabato, thanks so much. you have plenty of time to get ready for school. >> thank you very much, brian. i appreciate it. it's spring break, actually. >> that doesn't give you an excuse. you have to work, okay? that's for the kids, not professor. coming up straight ahead with ten minutes to the bottom of the hour, company credit cards are supposed to be used for company expenses, right? someone forgot to tell the epa. a new report says they were spending money on gym memberships. really?

free shipping, not really free if you're shopping on amazon. the on-line retailer giant is now facing at that lawsuits for alleged -- two lawsuits for scamming their prime members. those members pay a $79 a year fee to get free shipping on their orders. the suit claims amazon encourages its vendors to add the amount that they would have charged for shipping to the price of their items. so in the end, shipping really isn't free because you're paying more for the product. we'll keep watching that story. these aren't the latest fashion statement for penguins. they're actually part of a rescue effort that's underway to have some of the birds -- to help some of the birds trapped in oil spills. people around the world are now knitting and donating these sweaters to help -- this is interesting -- to help protect the animals' feathers. brian, there really is a purpose for this. the penguins are so small that a batch of oil no bigger than the size of a thumbnail can kill these penguins. how cute is that? so these sweaters prevent the penguins from preening their feathers and swallowing the oil. it sounds ridiculous, but there is a purpose for it and it works. you are anti-penguin. >> no, i'm not. i want to be able to tell them apart. now i can. >> there you go. >> i love the pink one with the jammies. by the way, special thanks to the sheep for providing the wool. >> animals work together. take a look at this. this adorable video going viral of some cute backseat dancers. >> not this adorable video. >> even their sleeping sister joined in. ♪ ♪ >> the video has gone viral and that family joining us now. not dancing yet, but we might get it out of you soon. how much fun -- good morning to you all. how often does that happen in your car?

>> that's quite a story. thanks, brian. meanwhile, 14 minutes before the top of the hour. buried deep within the president's budget is an eye opening fact. 70% of all the money the federal government is spending is being handed out in the form of direct payments to people. 70%. that's an all-time high. fox business' charlie gasparino is here to explain. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> mitt romney was right. actually he was a little low. >> he was a little low. some of that stuff is stuff you put in. social security. so you kind of deserve it. it's not all welfare state. but it is a staggering number and when you think of obamacare and these other things, what it really comes down to, this is a political message. the democratic party and the people that are in favor of big government are look to basically get a permanent democratic majority by making so many people hooked on government where you just got to keep perpetuating big government. it's essentially what they want nationwide is what you have in new york state and in california, where someone like andrew cuomo is considered a conservative. he's a liberal by any stretch of the imagination. but because he wants to scale back the welfare state or not make it grow as much as the far left, he's considered a conservative. and you have democratic majorities and maybe permanent democratic majority no those two states and what they're looking to do here is make it nationwide. this is how they're going to do it. >> let's look at the breakdown on the spending. about 47% goes to health bills which includes obamacare and medicare and medicaid. 33% goes to social security, which we all pay into. 21% goes to poverty programs. 5% to veterans. >> no one is going to criticize the veterans' part. we want them to get what they deserve. social security, you put in. but it's the growth of the other stuff, including the health care stuff where obamacare comes in, where that is the sort of trojan horse for the democratic party, where they're looking to expand that where everybody is hooked on it and then you got to keep voting them in so they can keep doling those benefits out to you. >> yeah. i said 48% on the health bills. it's 58%. it's the robinhood effect, isn't it? >> right. don't think it doesn't work 'cause it does work. look at new york city and new york -- new york city in particular, kind of an interesting example. 20% of the elderly voters, most were union, and they put de blasio, who is probably the most far left politician in the country. it's perpetuating. he gets in, and you have to appease them by giving them better contracts. that's why he's going after charter schools. it attacks his buddies in the union movement, so that's what you have here. >> we talk so much about entitlement nation. but really this is vote buying in some cases. >> it is vote buying. that's the evil of the welfare state. what people don't realize, it's all about votes, about keeping your friends happy, keeping them coming to the polls. >> all right. we're happy that you keep coming to the fake living room here. >> it's a beautiful place. >> it is. very cozy. >> i'm still horrified at the reporter who got smacked. >> i know it. there is something to that. thank you very much. it's narrative that's been pushed by the democratic party. >> the war on women alive and well. >> the war on women is alive and well. >> all those attempts to curtail women's rights. >> but john stossel smelled hypocrisy. he's here next with the war on women facts. first on this date one year ago, pope francis was selected as pope. in 1969, the love bug opened in theaters. and in 1967, the beatles "penny lane" number one song all around the world. ♪ ♪ welcome back. the answer to today's trivia question, born on this date in 1950, this shameless actor is married to felicity huffman. the answer is william h. macy. he's 64. congratulations to justin cooper from fairfield, connecticut with that answer. you'll be getting a copy of brian kilmeade's book "george washington's secret six." >> i'll sign it and lick the envelope. no comments, john. it's a theory that's been pushed by the democratic party for quite some time. >> the war on women alive and well. >> the war on women is alive and well. >> all those attempts to curtail women's rights in area after area. >> one in three women is living on the brink of poverty. >> that's wrong, and in 2014, it's an embarrassment. >> but is there really a war on women? and are agendas treat differently? let's talk to john stossel. this is your topic tonight. is there really a war on women? >> no. but yeah, genders are treated differently and we should be because we are different. one of the big points is obamacare finally no longer can those insurance companies charge women more, and they were. but there is a reason for it. it's insurance. women go to the doctor more. even if you take out pregnancy-related visits, women go 33% go to the doctor, that 33% more often. >> they were using it more. >> right. men pay more for car insurance 'cause we're stupider and have more accidents. and we pay more for life insurance 'cause we die younger. that's how it should be. but it's illegal in health care. >> you personally used to believe in the war on women until you had children and then you, at the stossel house, tried to break those stereotypes, kids and guns and boys and guns and stuff like that. here is a flashback to john stossel. >> i refuse to give them guns. i would not be the person to arm my child. but he made guns out of carrots and cucumbers. >> you must have sent them different signals. you encouraged him tore active. her to be nurturing. >> we gave her trucks and she wouldn't play with the trucks. >> son of john stossel there in a clip. >> i was taught in college, we were just the same, the genders, it was only years ofsism that mace -- sexism that made us turn out differently, except for sex organs and i saw what a fool i was. we wouldn't give our son guns. he made carrots into guns. dr. seuss books are most -- most kids books are sexist. they came out differently. that proves nothing. but then i did the research and there is lots of research. >> we're going to get into more on that tonight's, right?

there is a report out this morning that says the plane may have been diverted towards perhaps pakistan for, quote, another purpose. we're going to tell you what we know and it is puzzling. >> if so, did they think we wouldn't stop looking for it? how old is the constitution? the u.s. constitution? >> it is that we have lasted some 400 years operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not. >> right. hey, sheila, you're few hundred years off. we'll go over it. mornings are better with friends. >> i'm clint walker and you're watching "fox & friends." i'm one of them. >> thank you, clay. welcome to "fox & friends" for this busy thursday. it's like a monday for me 'cause i've been on vacation. >> welcome back. >> he's got a bounce in his steps and wind at his back and we have the same story you left with, the mystery of this plane and this boeing 777. >> it is. and there is a report out in the "wall street journal" came up with this, first of all, we've heard that it was in the air for an hour, right? as it turns out, it was in the air for five hours because apparently -- who knew this -- but the 777 has an engine that talks to the ground and tells boeing and rolls royce, the maker of the particular engines, how it's going. as it turns out, the airplane was in the air four hours longer and so what it means, by that particular range view right there, is that plane could be anywhere as far as pakistan or as far south as australia. >> right. to your point, steve, every 30 minutes, that message would hit back down and register supposedly. what they did was based on the last points of connection and the speed of going 480 matthews estimated and had recorded, gave that 2200 extra miles of -- nautical miles to investigate. that is quite broad. signs are pointing to the fact that this plane could have been changed in direction and could be in pakistan? >> they sent investigators into one of the pilot's house, we don't know why. we did hear after day two, we don't think this had anything to do with terrorism. i don't know how you can possibly rule that out if you can't find the plane or any debris. yesterday's story line was look, the chinese have zeroed in on an area and they think they found what looks to be plane debris. they got there. it was not that. overall you got 80 ships, planes, countries fanning out trying to find those. the family and friends of the passengers are getting angry with malaysian authorities 'cause they're getting a lot of mixed signals and feel as though they're keeping a lot from them. >> if the plane was in the air four hours longer, why were the transponders off? so u.s. counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility the pilot or somebody else may have flipped off the transponder. at a briefing apparently yesterday, officials were told that investigators are pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted, quote, with the intention of using it later for another purpose. the malaysian officials did go visit one of the pilot's houses. they're not saying anything. they're denying that the plane was in the air for four extra hours. but none the less, two sources who have access to this data says it's true. it was in the sky four hours longer than anybody knew about. >> they certainly cannot rule out terrorism at this point as we heard from our investigators and officials behind the search here. i think truly everyone is concerned that the time is ticking, 24 days left on the black box, which could have a bunch of information there and hope to find it is certainly what the families have in their hearts. >> real quick, on the transponders, there is more than one. so they had to be turned off intentionally. >> it would indicate some prior knowledge in planning. >> how to do it and do it intentionally. >> it could be foul play, rogue pilot, could be an accident. we just don't know. it's just that that day it is out there today that it looks like the motors were running for four hours longer than we knew about. >> it is conceivable, as we move to another topic that concerns you about obamacare, that the writers of obamacare, whoever did write this document, wouldn't even recognize what t radio like today, with all the waiver, all the exemptions, all the holes and changes that have taken place from the executive branch. it looks nothing like the plan that the cbo scored that they claimed at the time would save us money. but we knew it would revolutionize our system. yesterday kathleen sebelius was there to give the status report on capitol hill and a lot of this stuff she ended up in a lot of trouble because she was back talking and double talking and trying to explain where we're at with this plan and the threshold on march 31 that we should have 7 million people signed up. we got about 4.2. and according to the mckinsey and company study, only 27% of those people joining the exchanges were uninsured. so the whole point was to get the uninsured insured, only a small portion is insured. >> when you talk about backtracking, the mandate was written in pencil and erased, for something that is law, in fact. there have been a lot of changes certainly frustrating americans. sebelius said there would be no delay to the individual mandate which is what we were last hearing. instead, there is a hardship clause that was actually built into obamacare's law that was actually meant for that. you can claim a hardship, which is interesting -- >> an example, if you took my plan away, because it doesn't fit the criteria, even thousand you promised i could keep my plan. when the president got up and says listen, i shouldn't have said that. everybody, put them back on the plans. the company said, i don't want to put them back on the plan. so those people are hardship now and will not be fined for not getting insurance. >> right. so instead of asking people to go against the law, which they implemented, they're saying you can claim hardship, but as charles krauthammer said, wait a second. what if that hardship happens to be obamacare? >> if you lost your house, you lost your job, you're living in the back of a vw, then you're a hardship case and you're exempt on the individual mandate. it's now been redefined so that all you have to do is claim that, going into the exchange would create a hardship. i mean, it's ironic. it makes obamacare itself is the hardship, which is slightly ironic, but i think she's beyond the reach of irony, so she didn't quite see it. all you have to do is say, this is hard on me. you sign a paper, you don't have to provide any documentation. it's essentially a cancellation of the mandate. >> and he's right. so you get the bill, you say, i can't afford that. and you don't have to buy obamacare. and there is no proof. you just have to say yeah. i really don't want to buy it and you're not going to have to do it. this is for two more years that gets us once again, past the next election, which shields people because clearly, the white house is trying to shield the vulnerable democrats who went on board with the obamacare mandates. >> it's a hardship clause doesn't work for you and you can't afford obamacare, still the president had a solution, too. he said, just cancel your cable. maybe don't buy some shoes or something like that. take a listen here. >> if you looked at that person's budget and you looked at their cable bill, their cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on, it may turn out that it's just they haven't prioritized health care. >> yeah. what this guy said, this questioner asked, he said, i make $36,000 a year. is the affordable care act really affordable? the president had the audacity to say if you're making $36,000 a year and spend $3,600 a year on obamacare, that that is affordable. and eventually the president apparently didn't like his own answer and then just told the guy, you know what? you should just sign up for medicaid instead. >> some people are frustrated because they're thinking, wait a second. the person who is at the head of $17 trillion in debt is now giving me advice how to run my own wallet and my checkbook? first of all, it's none of your business. second of all, enough with this mandate that continues to change. third, if i'm going to look for advice on finances, i'm not looking your way. >> and for -- the last thing we'd like to see do you is cancel cable television. >> why was that first on the list there? >> i'm not sure. >> because there is no control. he can't control what is said. >> i got a feeling he's been telling people to cancel fox news for years. >> i know he has. >> that's nothing new. it's just getting rid of your phone? i don't think so. >> heather? >> by the way, thank you for the coffee this morning, elisabeth. certainly appreciate it. we got a coffee gang here. got some news to bring you 9 minutes after the hour. while you were sleeping, tragedy hits the south by southwest music festival in austin, texas. a drunk driver plowing into the crowd outside a bar, leaving at least two people dead and dozens more hurt. >> they ran over all the people. i turned around and saw like 20, 30 people flying up in the air. police car coming behind him. >> police were chasing the driver when he lost control of his vehicle. after the crash he tried to outrun the cops but didn't get far. the suspect arrested and charged with murder. police holding a press conference just a few hours from now to update us. he has been behind bars for 43 years now. convicted along with charles manson for murder. this morning we're learning that bruce davis could soon walk free. a california board once again approving parole for the former manson follower. the 71-year-old was sentenced along with manson for murders of two people in 1969. before he's released, he'll have to get past governor jerry brown, who chose to keep him behind bars under the same circumstances last year. so he may not get out at all. the death toll this morning, sadly rising again in that gas explosion taking place in harlem, new york. it now stands at seven and crews are still frantically looking at this hour for several people who are still unaccounted for. more than 60 others were hurt, including three children. that blast was so strong that it registered a .5 on an earthquake scale. >> it knocked me from my bed on the floor, yes, it did. it was really loud. scared me to death. >> i thought i was going to die in my apartment. my kids wouldn't have a mom. >> to give you a bit of an idea, shear what that area looked like before the two buildings were flattened and after. just a smoking pile of debris. there is a before and there is the after. finally in a few hours from now, the president will flex his executive authority once again. he's expected to sign an executive order to force some private companies to pay their employees overtime, even time and a half. this is expected to affect millions and millions of workers and is not sitting well with the business community that is already struggling with the cost of obamacare taxes and a lot of other things. these changes would take effect in 2015. those are your headlines. thinking about america, we've always had this sort of motto or way of operating, you work hard, you get ahead. >> that's right. >> you've been asking for what our new motto should be. what are people writing in? >> i'm glad you asked. carey said, welcome to america. we work so you don't have to. >> jack posted this on facebook, come to america and let us take care of you forever and you will have no responsibility for anything. >> and bruce e-mailed and said, part-time job, full time debt. and that has been the spirit. that was really me. >> if you got more suggestions on new slogans for the country, because clearly we're changing everything, e-mail us or facebook us or twitter us. >> we'll be checking those. coming up, have a question about a reverse mortgage or loan modification?

share your story at miraclegro.com. welcome back. the housing crisis hitting americans wear it hurts. many people are now beginning to rebuild their dreams. here to help answer your questions is fox news legal analyst, bob massi. good morning, bob. >> good morning. >> we're glad you're here to help. so we have this first e-mail that came in from james. it says this: if i have a reverse mortgage when i die and my daughter inherits my home and cannot pay off the mortgage, who determines the value and sale price of my home? >> so our viewers understand, a reverse mortgage is if you're 62 or older, you have a lot of equity in a home, you can go to the lender and they advance money against you and you don't have to make payments until you die or you pay it off on your own. you have the right to do that. once you pass, several things can happen. first of all, your estate, if there is enough money this it, could pay off that loan. number two, the heirs could pay off that loan. so the heirs could say, with those $300,000, they could pay the loan off. if neither one of those could happen, it could be listed for sale or, of course, the lender could ultimately take the house back. now, the thing about a reverse mortgage is they usually give people time to resolve this issue six months, eight months, 12 months. every lender is different. but it's very important for people to get reverse mortgages to understand them, make sure they're dealing with a reputable company, understand the consequence when you pass away. those are some things your daughter will be faced with. >> good advice there. we have another e-mail from janie from texas. she says my stepson and daughter-in-law in new jersey applied for a loan modification a engineer a half ago when they both lost jobs. they're both working now and can pay, but the bank is pursuing foreclosure. they still owe $67,000. your advice? >> yeah. here is the thing, the longer you get in arrears on a lender payment, the more difficult it is, elisabeth, to get a loan modification because it just -- the further away it gets from the payment, it's more difficult to negotiate. now they had a hardship, but at the same time, they got a loan mod. now they're so far behind, the lender has made a decision, we're going to take this house back. the loan modification is not going to work. so what could you do? first of all, you got to find a professional that's capable in the area of loan modification to try to go back to this lender and work some kind of deal. sometimes they'll do it. sometimes they won't. you can go to them, for example, and say, forget about a loan modification. i'd like to do what's called a forebearance agreement. that means you owe x amount of dollars, you say i can give you a certain amount of money, tag the balance e loan and let me begin payments again. these are the type of things you have to investigate. but once they start that foreclosure, elisabeth, it is very difficult to get lenders off the -- back to the loan modification dialogue. >> okay. wise advice there. one more quick question before we go from judy in florida. how do i know whether i live in a nonrecourse state and what does it really mean? >> recourse means can a lendser go after you after a foreclosure, in other words, go after you for the deficiency. you can go to google. obviously it's always good to get a legal opinion so understand what kind of state you live in. recourse or nonrecourse. if it's nonrecourse, means they can't go after you after foreclosure. >> bob massi, always the best advice there in some worst case scenarios. thank you for that. >> thanks, elisabeth. >> we want you to e-mail bob questions if you have them. look for the rebuilding dreams section on our page. coming up, the president's 2015 budget hitting our country's military hard. the stunning new report just out next. then he's one of the most successful entrepreneurs ever and his success has a lot to do with his faith. the founder of tom's shoes is here to talk about his new venture and there is a perk. it involves coffee. good news. there you go, steve ♪ ♪ ♪ c♪ announcer: get huge savings at bass pro shops' spring fishing classic. with amazing daily specials friday and saturday. and bring the kids for our next generation weekend. with free workshops, crafts, and free fishing at our catch and release pond. over one million hours of research. are inside are specific vitamins and minerals to help support your heart, brain and eyes. centrum silver. for the most amazing parts of you. 24 minutes past the hour. quick medicine lines now. what would it take to plunge the entire country into darkness?

>> the main thing is focus on what you're passionate about. i was really passionate about helping these kids that i met in argentina and at the same time, i didn't have any background in charity or philanthropy. my background was entrepreneur. i applied what i did to that and we've been reward by building this great business and helping a lot of people. it's fun to get to do new things. after seven years of doing shoes and we started doing eyewear two years ago, to get into the coffee business is a new venture. >> did you make this for us?

>> i hope we're not. i think the thing is more and more people are seeing entrepreneurship as a career path. before it was an outlier situation. as more and more people are seeing successful entrepreneur stories, hopefully they're inspired to follow their dreams and start something themselves. >> you inspired me because you've done the hardest thing possible. you look good casual. >> i don't know how to wear a tie. >> i'll tie your tie. >> i wear them in weddings and that's it. >> i'm having trouble when i have my own choice. >> he will answer to tom. >> but his real name is blake. the guy behind toms shoes. good luck to you. >> thanks so much for having me on. >> true inspiration. here's to you. >> all right. coming up, pop quiz, people. how old, tom, blake -- how old is the constitution?

numbers. 315,000 claims, down from last week. >> nicole petallides is live at the new york stock exchange with some instant analysis. what do you think? >> the instant analysis, we just got in retail numbers when economic news comes in that is better than expected. the claims down 9,000 from the prior week at 315,000 claims. it's less than the 330 then was expected. so that's good news ultimately. it's actually the lowest level since november. so that's good. as far as those retail sales numbers, that showed a little blip of hope because it was the first increase that we've seen in three months. people are just not hitting the stores. it's been cold and all the retailers have been blaming the severe winter weather. even mcdonald's blames the winter weather. >> blame old man winter. >> they have a drive through. you don't have to get out of the car. they're going to blame the weather? >> they'll blame anything. >> i'll get to mcdonald's no matter what, rain, sleet or snow. bring it

country. turns out it's close to 70%. >> right. these numbers are astounding when we see this. first of all, all out to individuals. 70%. 38.6 to medicare and medicaid. 33% social security. 21% to poverty programs and just 5% to our veterans who gave their service to our country. so yes, absolutely right. 70% of the federal spending is going right out to individuals. start make the checks right out to the person's name. >> a lot of us hope that social security will be there some day, but then when you add up all the other stuff, it's quite a number. >> i count on nothing. i count on nothing. i'm pretty sure i'm going to get nothing from that and i just figure i'll work forever. >> i don't know. i think after that plug, mcdonald's might show up with something later on. >> that or

report revealing just how hard the president's budget for 2015 will hit our military families. a typical army sergeant could lose as much as $5,000 in annual benefits. that budget caps pay increases for active duty service members at 1% and calls for 5% increase in the cost of military housing. attorney general eric holder looking to go easier on convicted drug dealers. in a few hours from now, he'll push a bill to shorten prison stints for some nonviolent drug offenders. this as we learn that colorado's legal pot business collected $2 million in taxes in the first month alone. former congressman and drug addict patrick kennedy was on "the factor" last night and says america is on a dangerous path. listen to this. >> they're going to target teen-agers. they're going to make their money off of people like myself who are addicts, and i just don't think this is the kind of thing that makes our country stronger, families stronger. there are eight times as many liquor stores in minority neighborhoods than there are in white neighborhoods. and the same thing is going to happen with legalized marijuana. it's going to target the most vulnerable in our country. >> the vote on the proposal could come as early as next month. we'll keep you posted. it looks like democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee needs a bit of a history lesson. listen to what she said. >> how well it is that we've lasted some 400 years operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not. >> here is the problem with that. she was off by about two centuries. if it was 400 years old, the constitution would have been signed in 1614. the u.s. constitution was formally adopted in 1787. and there is a bit of a beer controversy. it's a big one. it's brewing in the state of idaho. this video surfacing on youtube of a hockey fan pouring his $4 small beer into a large cup priced at $7. it turns out that they're the same size, just shaped differently. a handful of fans filed a lawsuit against the century link arena saying they were scammed out of beer. this is a big deal among all sports fans. the arena responded by saying they ordered new large cups and never intended to mislead anyone. don't mess with my beer and don't mess with your beer either. >> and green. that was green. >> ready for the holiday on monday. >> i guess so. >> thank you very much. out we go to the streets of new york city where it is cold. maria molina. >> yeah. that's right. we had a big turn around. we had temperatures in the 60s earlier this week and now it's winter yet again. temperatures being below average across the northeast, mid-atlantic and farther west across portion of the great lakes. yesterday we had a storm system. it produced more than six inches across the midwest and early this morning, it is still bringing heavy snow in section of new england. look at some of these totals. in portions of vermont, we already picked up seven inches of snow and the radar shows that we still have more snow coming down early today. anywhere from parts of connecticut up into maine. wind advisories, because we have very strong winds today, gusts up to 50 miles per

hood. >> extra vaseline on the skin. >> because it feels like 1. >> coming up on this program today, the obama administration spent $120 billion on climate change while gutting the military. all that green money could have brought at least 50 blackhawk choppers back. senator james inhofe breaks down the numbers and he's got a list. >> that's right. then they fight on the front lines to keep us safe and some pay the ultimate sacrifice. up next, learn about the group helping families of our hero s. i do a lot oresearch on angie's list before i do any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. but we're not staying in the

security, whether it's the marines on the front lines or law enforcement in the line of duty. a group called the marine law enforcement foundation is continuing to recognize their service and sacrifice by helping their families. james is the chairman of that group and a former marine himself, although you're never a former marine, i shouldn't have said that. >> marine veteran. >> thank you. the former head of the f.b.i., and always great to see you, jim. always great to see you for a great cause. your foundation that you're part of, and it's abbreviated mc-lef.org and considered one of the finest charities in the country. that means more goes to the people that need it than to overhead and other reasons. how have you done it? >> we're all volunteers. most of us are vietnam or korean war era. we came back to not a real friendly country. it's incumbent on us in america really to support the troops and we're just one of the groups that does that. the thing that's different about us, if you give me a dollar, i'm going to use 98.3 cents of that dollar for the families. we give scholarships to families that lose someone in combat and on the line of duty. >> we know you got your 19th annual gala and one of the people you're honoring is another great marine, commissioner ray kelly. listen to what they've already done. 62 million has been raised for scholarship attention. 3500 for children -- 3500 children have been helped. almost 100% of the donations go to the recipients. you said something that surprised me. at a time in which we need to be respectful for military, you say it's getting harder to raise money. >> it is. i think it's the economy. people who gave us a particular number last year are now giving us half that. if you can afford to go to our web site and give us five bucks, ten bucks, to bucks, whatever, we can make an impact and keep helping the marine family get through. think of a 19-year-old widow living in base housing with three kids. the next thing you know, her husband is coming back in a coffin. just think of the ramifications of that for their life ahead and for their education as they get older. >> people have to -- you know the people that experience it. what is that like? is that part of the reason you volunteer and part of the reason you goo is are almost all volunteers? >> none of the people in the military are in there for a paycheck, brian. what keeps them going and what keeps their morale up is the notion and the fact that people here in the united states are behind them 100%, that are going to take care of their family if something happens. they're not going to just discard them as a piece of rubbish on the side. i think the population is much more generous now towards our military. they have to be. they're standing between us and terrorism, between us and many, many, many criminal activities that go on. >> as a marine veteran and someone who is running this -- helping to run this charity, what are your thoughts as we talk about budget cuts to our military? it's basically the only thing the president wants to cut. >> it's hollowing out the military at a time when the world is a very, very dangerous place. i think more dangerous than it was even a decade ago in some ways. with new communications, the ability to get involved and communicate around the world through all these digital ways, it's a very dangerous place. that's going to impact training, going to impact the ability to carry out the mission. i think we're going to be very, very sorry for these cuts in the future. >> hopefully congress can stop it. one of the people you're going to have a special guest. drew was diagnosed in 2008 with a brain tumor and has gotten the aid for medical help. >> a lot of what we do also is take care of the families in their medical expenses above and beyond what their insurance would pay. drew is a particular case where he had a rare form of brain cancer and we've been assisting in those bills. in fact, drew was on our billboard on route 95 going south. >> a lot of people listening now have given before and because of that, we're on everybody's list, so you get tons of stuff in the mail, tons of calls, and you wonder what's a good cause. you've been rated one of the finest charities in the country. so just know, we're going to link your site to our site. if you give to this cause, it's going to the right place. law enforcement foundation, you can go there through our web site. there will be a link there. good luck on thursday night at your gala and best of luck and it's a great thing you're doing. >> we don't send you any mail. we just ask you, please go to our web site and hit that give button. thank you. >> thanks, always great to see you. 11 minutes before we're done. coming up, you just heard how much our military sacrifices from jim. so why are we cutting the money they get in favor of wind mills? senator james inhofe wants to show the president how to cut this and not cut that. but first let's check in with martha mccallum who i spoke to on the radio yesterday. and seems like a very nice woman. >> good morning to you. we have obviously two very big stories. we've got news for you on both of them here on "america's newsroom." is the individual mandate no longer? could this missing plane be hidden somewhere waiting to be used for ill purpose? a chilling theory in the "wall street journal." we're going to dig into that story for you this morning in "america's newsroom." tray gowdy joins us and governor rick perry is here on 2016. bill and i join you at the top of the hour. see you then help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. with soft, meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture ...it's dental that tastes so good. beneful healthy smilfood and snacks. now be considered another weapon of mass destruction. perhaps even the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. >> really? secretary of state john kerry says global warming is just as dangerous as terrorism. and since 2009, our government has spent $120 billion to combat climate change. but as the pentagon proposes cutting our military to preworld war ii levels, should we be cutting our climate change programs instead? senator james inhofe of oklahoma says yes. and he joins us right now to break down the numbers. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, steve. >> it is startling given all the things that are going on in the world right now that we're talking about gutting our military to preworld war ii levels. >> yeah. let me put this in perspective 'cause i remember i was on your show five years ago. five years ago when obama first came out with his first budget, i went to afghanistan so i could respond to his disarming of america. in that first budget he did away with our fifth generation fighter, did away with our lift capacity, future combat system, all that. that was just the first year, the first budget. since then, he has taken out $487 billion and with the sequestration, another half trillion dollars. we are just disarmed. i've got statements from the commanders saying that the problems that they have. $120 billion, by the way, we found that out and we had that all documented and i made the comment, with that, we could buy 1400 f-35 fighter aircraft. >> you know what? let's play cut this, not that. for instance, we spent $270 million on a climate satellite that crashed on takeoff. instead we should have been spending $270 million on what? >> well, i would take the 270, that's where they shorted the special ops. the special ops are the seals and the ones that do the real heavy lifting out there. you start cutting them, that means risk and lives. so we need -- that's where i'd put that. >> here is another one. instead cut this, $535 million loan guarantee to solyndra. instead, we should have been using that money for what? >> well, we have currently 31 awac airplane. that's the eyes and the radarhe. they're cutting seven of them. right now we're undersourced as it is right now. i've already talked to the commander of the air force about this. with 535, we could bring that back up. we would not have to cut the seven aircraft. >> and you also suggest cut $757 million from the global climate change initiative to build green power plants overseas, you could have used that to buy 50 blackhawks for our reserves. >> yeah. right now we have a need for 111 in our restructuring of the army. a lot of these go to the guardians. this is a desperate need. >> no kidding. senator inhofe of oklahoma, thank you very much for playing cut this, not that. >> sounds good. >> four minutes before the top of the hour. we're going to step aside, be back with more in two minutes ♪ they lived ♪
