people. >> this morning her testimony has new meaning as one of those democrats gets roped into the scandal. she's here live to react. mornings, according to just about everyone i talked to, are better with friends. ♪ >> it's time for "fox & >> i walked out this morning and there was snow. >> i know. >> shocking. >> it is shocking. >> you know, it seems to me ted had a bet with maria molina that it would not snow nor be below 30 -- it is 33 degrees outside. ted said it would not go below freezing again. >> it's not really fair for ted to be betting maria. maria went to college for this. ted goes outside. >> that's right. we've got a busy day. i'm curious to find out how many other channels reported this. how many times have you heard, we've got to decriminalize pot, make it legal because pot is one of those drugs that is safe. now we know from those guys at harvard that did 3-d scans of students who use pot casually and those who didn't. it turns out that pot can damage your brain permanently even if you use it once or twice a week. >> there were two key brain regions they looked at. harvard had done a study, northwestern also for the first time, they looked at a study of young adults, obviously the concern of parents and how this will affect them and how it's discussed -- no big deal -- and how it is affecting their decision making. what they said is adults who use pot once or twice a week showed significant affected by pot. also working memory. this is responsible for your decision making, good decision making that you want young people out there to be making. >> they looked at kids between -- young people between the ages of 18 and 25. they just looked at 20. it was young adults and a small group but have come up with significant decisions and conclusions. for example, a lot of those things where you talk about the misshaping of the brain or changing of its look, they say it affects your judgment, decision, your planning, when you try to do math, anything you do that involves working ]ç pot use at a young age. >> longtime use showed abnormalities similar to those with schizophrenia. there is this a motivational syndrome where you chill out, don't care. this study will be key to future studies moving forward in terms of how it affects people, how they're motivated or not. it gives weight to that theory. >> meanwhile you've got eric holder who admitted in an interview with the huffing ton post that he smoked pot in college. we know the president of the united states told the new yorker smoking pot not more dangerous than alcohol. he said it is a bad habit but not much different than the cigarettes he smoked. now we have this evidence from harvard plus you have other studies as well that have shown that pot use actually shaves numbers off your i.q. not safe, will washington continue to march toward decriminalizing this stuff that screws with your brain? brit hume weighed in last night with megyn kelly. >> i don't think the study by itself is going to change the momentum very much on this issue. it will have to be confirmed by further studies. it will be interesting to see what the surgeon general has to say about this now. it will be interesting to see what the department of health and human services has to say about this issue. this does kind of put the issue on the doorstep of responsible officials alljomâxnc government. how are they going to react? what are they going to say when questioned about this? are they going to come out -- should the surgeon -- remember, megyn, you don't swallow this as a pill or sip it in a drink. you smoke this. it can't be good for your lungs. >> it's also going to be this. i think the studies are going to come out and someone will point to another study that will come out to back up their point of view. i think we've got to wait for five years to see what's happening in colorado and other states where it is legalized and see how many tax dollars you get, how much traffic you get from unsavory characters. >> we see long term drug use and study when it comes to marijuana and other drugs but the short-term casual use is what was studied here. for every time you smoke there is actual damage done to the brain. have not been done in terms of casual use but you're willing to say it's okay? how can you possibly approve when those studies are not done for casual pot smokers? >> you made a great point saying one study will come out. the pot smokers are going to look at this and go i've seen other studies that say this. you say wait five years. i'm worried. you wait five years. if it's decriminalized across the country and then you discover it is so deadly for your brain and so bad for your brain it is hard to put the tooth paste back in the tube. it is good the news is out there. and it shaves points off your i.q. >> my unofficial study from people that i know, i know it's changed them. i know it changed when they started smoking pot regularly. >> casually. >> they never left the room. it goes exactly to the brain. all right. let's move on to the cattle battle, from the pot smoking to the cattle battle. you know the guy who was confirmed as this standoff started is a fellow by the name of neil kornze. he heads up the b.l.m., the bureau of land management. turns out he was a deputy to harry reid who has all sorts of cronies in nevada which 80% of the state is owned by the federal government. here's the observation by valerie richardson of the "washington times" about this young man who has this big job. >> he is only 35 years old. he has the republicans raising eyebrows saying is this guy experienced enough? your normal b.l.m. director is a guy in land management for 23 years, a career guy. this guy,jx2v(:lyk46 guy of anybody it is senator harry reid's office. >> the questions remain whether there will be future prosecution for those that were armed protesters. harry reid says this is a pause issue, not over, we're going to take it to the court to get the money we believe the bundy family owes. when you have guys in charge linked to harry reid does that make a difference? >> if they took him or whatever else they did, i mean, if they killed him, the people will answer to that. what i mean by that, they will answer that. they will be the ones to make it right. they will be the ones to stand up. >> do you think the people know what's going on? do you worry in fact they may kill either your dad or somebody in yourygó= >> this battle has been going on for my whole life almost. if death were our main fear, we wouldn't be here today. freedom is much greater than -- than death. >> harry reid says it's not over. his son rory weighed in said we live in a country where we're subject to laws and you can't ignore laws you don't life. >> as it pertains to neil, there's a lot of ranchers out there that say i've got cattle older than him and his only experience is with harry reid. they look at cliven bundy and see him as a freeloaders but to his supporters he's a hero. >> where do you stand?

>> i was an alphabet soup. five separate agencies, all seemingly out of nowhere and rapid success over a three-year period. >> it's crazy. we got a sound bite from steny hoyer on this program last week talking about how this is just a witch hunt. there is no there there. there is no scandal at the irs. >> clearly nobody wants to see people targeted by the irs on their taxes. however, this is really turning into a witch hunt frankly to serve the base of the republican party. >> okay. that's what he said. i think this is one of the biggest scandals that you're not going to hear about on the mainstream media. we're talking about it, you're talk being it. what did the federal government do to you? >> well, it seems as though once i filed my nonprofit application with the irs back in july of 2010, it seems as though that set into motion a series of events that ultimately would bring five government agencies to my door and the interest of now as we know, elijah cummings and there is no doubt in my mind that these agencies were working together, that it was a collaborative effort to target and silence me for i think any number of reasons. i believe that the story is really just beginning to be told. and sadly, it's not just me. this is happening to people all over the country. >> yeah, i know. that's what you said in your testimony. you just mentioned congressman cummings, top democrat on the house oversight committee. it looks like his office was working with the irs to crackdown on you. i saw on the video he was in the room with you. did you have any idea that was going on? >> you know, i couldn't tell you conclusively until those e-mails came out last week. but what i did know was that the congressman was asking me questions that were eerily similar to those questions that the irs was asking and it was just a little too close for comfort. i certainly had my suspicions and i was very comforted to see last week that the truth was beginning to come out. >> right, because somebody put those e-mails out and eventually you say we're going to get to the bottom of it. you saw the erie coincidences between cummings and what the irs were requesting with documentation. at the end you asked the congress to protect the people and unfortunately, would you say it is true that it looks like the federal government has targeted you because of your political beliefs? >> oh, without question. that's absolutely what they're doing. this is the weaponnization of government. it is the silencing of a free speech and it doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you find yourself on, this should be troubling to every american. >> you're absolutely right. it happened to you. it could happen to anybody. res katherine, thank you staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. 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 smile food and snacks. that's why i got a new windows 2 in 1. it has exactly what i need for half of what i thought i'd pay. and i don't need to be online for it to work. it runs office, so i can do schedules and budgets and even menu changes. but it's fun, too -- with touch, and tons of great apps for stuff like music, 'cause a good playlist is good for business. i need the boss's signature for this. i'm the boss. ♪ honestly ♪ i wanna see you be brave good morning. today is wednesday, april 16. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the president doesn't think it's dangerous. eric holder says he stopped it. will a brand-new study on the dangers of pot change the government's stance on legalizing it. >> remember when harry reid took a shot at mitt romney and said he hadn't paid taxes in a decade. romney is getting the last laugh and is caught on tape. >> there he is in line. meanwhile, one candidate's mental to big government spies, take a look at this. >> this is how i look from a government drone. >> this is what i think about it. >> that's unbelievable. will his controversial fight for freedom actually work? will that guy wind up in the u.s. house? we'll tell you his story and so many more because mornings are better with friends. >> this is sarah evans and you're watching "fox & friends". >> what happened? >> what do you mean what happened? >> you were out on the streets of new york city n a car. nobody can drive the car. >> i drove the car. >> it's a clutch. >> here is the problem, it's brand-new mia in a. we don't know how much it cost. here is the thing, we couldn't get it started. we didn't know why. what did we find out was the reason why? >> well, learned the hard way it was a stick shift. >> to do depress the clutch. >> yeah, with wedges on. i'm pretty good at driving a stick. it's more difficult in pink wedges to drive a clutch. we were one of the first to drive the matzah mia at that. >> as we made the left in new york city, you can't make u-turns. you have to go around the block. so i had no idea if we were in the next segment or not. but it was good to spend quality time with elisabeth in the middle of the show. so we come to the left turn. little did we realize that elisabeth is still getting used to the clutch and also, i was looking right at the dashboard and in two seconds, over comes this hand, this human air bag against my chest to save my left. i already bounced once. >> wait a minute. so you were driving through the streets of new york city with somebody who is unfamiliar with how the car works and you were not wearing your seatbelt? >> right. i was stunned because i was doing a tv show for a while. >> i have to make a citizens arrest. >> i'm driving in a brand new mia -- miata with elisabeth hasselbeck. >> that was a heck of a flashback. >> would you ride in a car with me begun? >> i would. that's what elisabeth does, when she feels like an accident is coming, boom. >> well, anyway now the know the story behind the story. i've got a feeling we're going to see some of that in our weekly wrap-up coming up on friday. in the meantime, have you heard about this? how many times have you heard people who are pro-pot say, you know, pot is a safe drug. in fact, i have gotten hundreds of e-mail from people who said steve, i heard you talk about people getting potted up. you know what? pot is safer than alcohol. i got some bad news for you folks who feel that way because according to harvard, they did 3d scans on the brains of some people who would eindicationally use pot. maybe once or twice a week simply over a period of months. it turns out that their brains changed and not in a good way, affecting emotion, motivation and leading to addiction. >> right. so we've seen studies on long-term drug use. you always hear the argument, well, it's only once in a while. >> yeah. >> let's take look what this casual pot use does. significant abnormalities in two brain structures. they looked at density, shape by casual use. the work memory was effected. that's responsible for your decision making and just sort of everyday common sense. the brain regions are associated with motivation so that idea that you can get emotion vagal syndrome so you can not get motivated. midterm use of marijuana had similar reactions to those with schizophrenia when they looked at the brain positions. >> between 18 and 25, it's only 20 that they looked at, but significant study and i'm wondering if it will play the role in the fact that eric holder talking yesterday admitted, as many politicians are saying, hey, i smoked pot. i smoked pot in college and it's really not more dangerous than alcohol. we know the president said he did and olympic -- president clinton said he tried to but couldn't inhale. >> we don't know how much eric holder smoked, when you that book that was written about the president's use as a young man, he smoked a lot of pot. i think it was the day -- it talked about how they called the car they drove around in the chume room because they would get so much pot smoking, you couldn't see out the window. it would be curious -- i wond for that would have impacted the president of the united states. brit hume has a great observation from last night on the kelly file regarding whether or not this changes anything politically in the march to decriminalize pot. >> we understand what the surgeon general has to say. it will be interesting to see what the department of health and human services has to say about this issue. so this does kind of put the issue on the doorstep of responsible officials all over the country in every state and in the federal government. how are they going to react to this? >> we were talking earlier about the political impact. if the government knows something is bad for you and now we know according to the study it impacts your brain, it changes your brain, can the government -- i know a lot of people in the government are pro-pot and want to decriminalize it, but why would they want a lot of people all potted up? >> 'cause they want the tax money. there is a theory out there that if you legalize drugs, you can bring some of that in and get some control of it. but people will say the theory is, wait a second. i can get pot from the store or cvs and i can get really good pot from iain's friend. >> but this study important to know that it's actually the length of amount and amount of damage. so for every time you use pot, there is significant damage done. maybe it is all about the tax money. right? >> right. it's 7 minutes after the hour. let's change gears and talk about the irs. the gop has had it. reince previn is tired of waiting for documents and an investigation that does not prove anything that they know is true and that the conservative groups were targeted during the last election and still targeted today. specifically the tea party groups. yesterday he made a move. >> he's actually going to sue here and this is what he said on greta. >> our particular situation, we asked for documents related to the irs' targeting of conservative groups in may of 2013. under the law, these agencies have about 20 days to respond. now, they can ask for extensions in that particular case, but we've been now going over 220 days with the irs. they've asked for multiple extensions. now, sometimes keep in mind, greta, they ask for extensions on this document request in some cases days after the deadline had already come and passed. so over 220 days have passed. we're done playing footsy here with the irs. >> sure. and what's the government doing? trying to run out the clock. they're stonewalling and not providing anything. that's the same problem that the founder of true the vote, a voter i.d. program, she lives in texas right now, she had this to say about the irs targeting innocent citizens. >> there is no doubt in my mind that these agencies were working together, that it was a collaborative effort to target and silence me for i think any number of reasons. this is the weaponnization of government. it is the silencing of free speech and it doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you find yourself on, this should be troubling to every american. >> it is troubling. something else is troubling americans is the fact that we have learned that the federal government spies on you. we also know that there are some drones out there that occasionally the federal government would use and a guy who wants to be in the u.s. congress has decided to take aim at that. >> he sure does. he has a message for the government. he said if you send a drone to spy on me, i'm going to take you down. listen to this. >> this is how i look from a government drone. this is what i think about it. >> that is matt rosendale. he's state senator. he's running for the u.s. house of representatives and he wants everybody to know, remember senator feinstein had a drone buzz her house. and we had a fire, and a guy who bought a drone at radio shack shot the footage of it. >> and he got in trouble. >> if you saw drone over your house, would you shoot it down? a lot of people would. what are you look at? >> i think it's an issue that resonates with a lot of people. you got the issue in montana. >> sure. big brother is watching. >> right. it's your house, your yard. >> i miss that show, by the way, "big brother." >> i'm going to drone over to heather. >> earlier we told you about this, ferry carrying 450 passengers. now it's a race to find survivors. coast guard is at the site of the ferry. at least four people are confirmed dead, but there is serious fear that that number could rise dramatically because still missing and that water is very, very cold. a lot of the missing happen to be high school students who were headed to a resort for a vacation. so tragic there. passengers -- you can see some of the helicopters are being rescued by helicopters and also fishing boats that just happen to be in the area. the cause of th accident is still not clear. but that ferry sinking and we'll bring you the latest as we get it. back here at home, quote, i really need exposure. he got it for all the wrong reasons. a self-proclaimed performance artist is now under arrest and he's accused of leaving a backpack -- you can see in the picture. he left the backpack near the finish line of the boston marathon and inside that backpack was a rice cooker. police didn't know what it was. so they had to detonate it. they did it safely. and along with one other. listen to this. >> sources say the man who was under arrest is 25 years old, he yelled boston strong as he ran toward the finish line. he wasn't wearing any shoes. he appears in several of these videos on-line. in one of them, he says, quote, i really need exposure. what a big joke. remember when harry reid said mitt romney hadn't paid his taxes in a decade? >> so the word is out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> okay. romney's son, josh, tweeted out this photo with a message, hey, senator reid, here is a shot of mitt romney paying taxes. he does it every year. it's how you get your paycheck. is he at an h & r block? >> i think at a post office. >> harry reid, that harry reid. >> what do you say? >> thank you, heather. >> he never really has -- he has no conscience in saying this. there is never an apology. coming up, top democrats pulling republican -- calling republicans racist. is it really about race or a ploy to get votes? we'll take you inside political strategies from inside both sides of the aisle. a little boy goes missing from missing from his home and look where he ends up. >> that's the claw machine. >> how in the world does that happen?

is it a real issue in our country, something that needs to be addressed? let's debate it. kevin jackson is here, director of the black sphere and alexis mcgill is the executive director of the american values institute. both here to debate this issue. kevin, is this a legitimate priority in our country that needs to be addressed today or is this about rallying a base? >> definitely about rallying the base, brian. it's actually cowardice on behalf of the democrats and insulting to blacks because what it says is essentially that all of the achievements and things that have been accomplished by black folks when it comes to the left, these people believe that these things can't happen without democrats apparently giving a helping hand every time we turn around. definitely about rallying the base. >> alexis, do you see this addressing a need or is this about elections? >> i think this is actually about addressing a real need, of understanding what african-americans need to create opportunity and expand opportunity in their lives. i think that the democratic party has been consistent in trying to expand things like voting rights, expand things like access to health care. i think the republicans consistently pulled back from that and african-americans see that not just because they're african-americans, but because it's in their interest to think about how to expand opportunity. i also say that i think this race piece is happening on both sides. i think that democrats are talking about kind of what it takes to improve the lives of african-americans directly, but we also have boehner and paul ryan talking in very coded ways to gin up racial anxiety on the other side. >> kevin, have you decoded this and picked up the code? >> yeah, i just got my box of crackerjacks and i'm getting my secret decoder ring. that's absolutely ridiculous. the idea that black people haven't had access to health care, what, we don't have access to opportunity? look at the number of blacks in this country who are successful and what it amounts to is democrats saying all of that's out the window. the oprah winfreys of the year action the bob johnsons, all the athletes, all the entertainers, all the business people, the blacks that are being highly successful in america, they're saying is a ruse, that somehow this country is keeping them down. access to health care and that is ridiculous. >> alex sus, you said when you hear boehner talk about really fare reform or what paul ryan says should happen in the urban community, you think that's code to say something negative about the african-american community? >> i think it's historically driven. i think a you can look as recently as chairman ken melman of the republican party who came out and apologized for using racially southern strategies to gin up racial anxieties. it's insulting for all americans because when you look at all of the racial attitudes over the past 50 years, we've made so much progress and i think the challenge is that we continue to drive these conversations in ways that are not productive. i think we need to work on that. >> i will say this, kevin, before i let you finish and have the final word, it's frustrating when you have a politician go in and say the urban environment need to be addressed. these people have needs and then be told, well, they're actually sending out coded messages, or looking at welfare, saying the goal is to get people off welfare. not get them on it and say that's sending a code message. >> i don't disagree with that, brian? >> brian, to your point, we're adding people onto welfare. this administration actually is happy about that when we should be happy to get people off. there is no code here. the only code is the insult that's being put on the black community. >> it's an interesting debate. it's going on now in kitchens, workplaces everywhere because it started bursting out again last week. kevin, alexis, thanks. >> thank you. good job. coming up straight ahead, one of our favorite all-time guests, kristen chen witch is here. she has a wonderful smile and song. she couldn't catch her breath before going on stage. she's going to talk about that in just a second. ♪ ♪ would go with chocolate cake and ceviche?

what percent do you think a is? a, 25%. b, 50%. c, 75%. or d, 90%? about how much of the earth's population do you think lives in the earth's hemisphere? >> didn't god demand it be equal? >> it's either c or d? >> i would say 50%. >> all right. the correct answer choice is d, 90%. can you believe it? 90% of the world's population is in one hemisphere, northern one and the reason is that we have more land north of the equator than south of the equator. >> there you go. that makes perfect sense. tell us about the weather. >> let's look at the current windchill temperatures because those temperatures across the eastern half of the country are well below average. you factor in a little bit of a breeze and this is what it feels like when you head outdoors. feels like 33 in louisville. feels like the 20s in chicago and feels like the teens in buffalo. so again, you got to grab that jacket as you head out. it is frigid out there across parts of the east. we do have freeze warnings in effect across many areas and many states because of how cold it is this morning. temperatures dipping down below 32 degrees for many of you. the sun, it's april. it's strong right now this time of year. so it is going to be warming up as we head into the afternoon hours with highs into the 50s in places like new york and rebounding into 60 degrees in the city of atlanta, georgia. otherwise a quick moving clipper system will bring up to a foot of snow. locally even higher amounts across the upper great lakes and upper midwest. let's head back inside. >> maria molina from the northern hemisphere where everybody lives. thank you. >> sorry, south pole. you're out of luck. you're alone. sharing your photos and status updates just aren't enough anymore. facebook is now looking to get into the banking business, letting you share your money. >> with all of facebook's privacy issues, would you trust them with your money?

>> no. facebook is into everything. they don't want you to just be a social network organization. they want to have a drone company to deliver the internet into remote areas. they want to do all kinds of things. financial service is one more area they want to get into. there are three companies in america this which really want to dominate the world wide net. there is google, amazon and facebook. and they're all expanding to dominate the net and they're doing a great job of it. >> how would you feel it inn it says stuart varney, your age, your marital status and your net worth?

joining us now is the co-sponsor, author of that study at northwestern psychiatrist. joins us today. sir, got a question for you, there is a lot to your study. what's the headline? >> first off, it's a privilege to be here and thank you for just being willing to talk about this issue. the headline is that there is a folklore idea out there that casual cannabis use doesn't hurt you. well, our data directly goes against that and suggests very strongly that we need to be very careful about how much cannabis is used by people, especially when they're young, young adults. >> in reading your study, what you found is that marijuana impacts the parts of your brain that impact emotion and motivation and addiction. >> correct. we in particular focused in on two small regions of the brain that kind of are like the hubs of a big wheel. so one region is fundamental for motivation. the other region is fundamental for the regulation of emotion. and we've all kind of seen people who used a lot of and see apathetic, not focused on their goals and seem to have no direction in life, or who seem to not really be that emotionally engaged with things. we wanted to see if perhaps the long-term -- these long-term types of consequences might be seen early on when people were cashly using marijuana. what we found should have enough, were that these two regions of the brain and they had these funky names, that these two regions are significantly impacted just by casual use. they're impacted in a dose dependent manner, meaning the more you use, the more abnormal they became. >> so the more pot you smoke, the bigger the changes in your brain. you say it can be casual use of once or twice a week over just a period of months. but doctor, this flies in the face of what you might see on some other cable channels where they go, we got to decriminalize the stuff because it's a safe drug. >> exactly. the point that it's a safe drug is overstated. we need more research on this issue. any parent who has a child knows how much influence kids come under to try using a compound like marijuana that's seemingly safe. the fact of the matter is, if we can bring fact into this argument, i think you'll see lot more people standing down from saying it isn't so bad. it is bad. >> the president of the united states has said smoking pot no more dangerous than alcohol. it was a bad habit when he did it. is the president doing a disservice to be suggesting pot is okay to smoke? >> i think the president needs to get some more data perhaps with regard to his commentary. i've been known to make commentary like that before and that's also why we started the study. the truth will set you free, so to speak. and the research was part of an effort to try to understand what marijuana will do and i hope the president going forward will take our study and others going forward that carefully under consideration. >> i understand you also told one of our producers that you would have serious reservations about anybody under the age of 30 using marijuana unless they had a terminal illness. >> that's exactly right, sir. this is the second study we've published in the past few months. the first study we did looked at cannabis use in healthy people and cannabis use in people who have schizophrenia. and that worked directly showed cannabis affects, mirrored some of the changes we saw this devastating illness known as schizophrenia. right there that should give one pause. it also damages a part of your cognitive or mental function known as working memory. and it's fundamental to everything you do, for planning, for making decisions and judgments. this data got us quite worried. so we said let's take a look at just casual use. when we looked at casual use, we found two core fundamental regions really affected. i think had is the canary in the mine. we need more working to after this so that parents have the data in hand to deal with to dissuade their kids from using this compound. >> thank you for joining us today and giving us the lowdown. >> it's been a privilege. >> privilege having you. >> thank you. meanwhile, switching gears, do you know a guy in his 30s or 40s who still brags about his high school football or soccer career, brian?

>> okay. normal. i wish i had my favorite t-shirt on that says the truth without compassion is brutality. listen, your mom has apparently made an assessment that your grandfather can't integrate certain facts. you don't have to lay them all out for him to struggle with. she believes he can't change even with those facts. that's an assessment she's made. maybe she's right. >> okay. i like that t-shirt, too. my friend often talks about his high school sports career over 40 years in the past. is that normal or nuts? >> again, listen, i think that's normal because at least he had those glory days. you want to be his friend? ask him to watch a few videos of those sports moments rather than saying he can't talk about it. >> justification right there. i sent that e-mail in. i just needed to know. buna i feel better. >> brian had a lot of glory though, tremendous. >> i know. he tells us. >> according to him at least. >> another one, all day i find myself singing, whistling or making other sounds from my mouth. is this normal or nuts? >> it looked like we might be batting three for three, but that's nuts. that's a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. what the person is doing is trying to soothe herself. how? by triggering comfort that's deep inside her using this music. listen, here is the key, the comfort is deep inside you. so go see a psychotherapist like me and you'll bring it forth without the tunes. >> okay. maybe there is some other things you can do instead. good advice. you can always send us your e-mails for him. and i love that t-shirt, the truth without compassion. >> it's yours. i'm bringing it to new york. >> love it. >> thanks. >> take care. coming up, it's a controversial ruling that could affect the way you punish your kids. a mother arrested for locking her kids in a room. peter johnson, jr. explains that coming up. good morning. today is wednesday, april 16. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. brand-new video shows the meaning of top terrorists out in the open. didn't president obama say al-qaeda is on the run? we're going to tell what you you need to know. meanwhile, new questions over the showdown at that nevada ranch. how one of the federal government's biggest players is a crony of harry reid. >> don't you hate junk mail? >> yeah, i do. not as much as gingin. remember that dog? that story coming up later. but that story is coming up next. mornings are better with friends. >> this is george lopez. you're watching "fox & friends". >> what is gingin other than what i order on a friday night? >> when the guy can't hear you and you repeat it. it is the dog on "i dream of jeannie" that used to get invisible and tear up dr. bello and they could never see him. >> brian, you're fired. >> can you imagine if you had -- great flash back. >> thank you. that's why i stopped watching. >> tabitha was the child of samantha. that's a totally different series. they were both on when you were sick and they were both on during the day. >> yeah, at mama's house. >> right. and then "the rivalman" was on. >> those were the days, when life was simple. >> chuck conner's never had a wife and that kid was just forced to live with him. >> back in those days, they actually used to let the cows roam free on the 80% of nevada land that is headed by the federal government. but now as you know, there is a cattle battle out there. supporters of cilven bundy look at him as a hero. critics say he's broken the rules and he is a free loader and needs to pay his bills. what's interesting is how the bureau of land management has completely, spectacularly mismanaged this. they showed up with guns and showed up with tasers. they tased somebody. they got a lot of bad publicity all against a guy and his cows. you got to wonder who is behind things at the bureau of land management that's so spectacularly mishandled this? turns out harry reid. >> raising many questions in terms of how things will proceed. >> and what kind of experience he had. >> sure. 35-year-old, i believe, gentleman who now holds the office of bureau of land management director. valerie richardson of the washington times is questioning his credibility and experience. >> he is only 35 years old. he hasn't had a long land management career and you have the republicans raising eyebrows and saying is this guy normally experienced enough? your normal leader has experience for 20, 30 years a career guy. this guy, if he's a career guy of anybody, it's senator harry reid's office. >> senator harry reid's son is getting into the act, saying we have to enforce this lawlessness and there is a rule of law in this country. so he's not backing down. as far as the bundy family, they're not even thinking about backing down. they're standing up for what is a cost in their life. >> if they took him or whatever else they did, i mean, even if they killed him, the people will answer to that. what i mean by that, they will answer that. they will be the ones to make it right. they will be the ones to stand up. the people know what's going on. >> do you worry that they may kill either your dad or somebody in your family? >> you know, this battle has been going on for my whole life almost. if death were our main fear, we wouldn't be here today. freedom is much greater than death. >> and as harry reid has said, it's not over. stand by for more on the cattle battle. >> and something else that may not be over, we have new video that's actually showing brazen outdoor meetings of al-qaeda fighters, including the terrorist network, second in command taking part in these gatherings. >> talking about al-qaeda. we have video -- we're not going to show them in type there is subliminal go sign. when you is in yemen. that guy you just saw we believe to be the number two in al-qaeda. there was a time when they covered their face. there was a time they would never be out in the open. that's when we were droning then with missiles. but we have stopped! so confident are they, they're having these major gatherings. when they listen to the tape, you hear them talking about america being the number one target that they still have to hit. >> right. there was a time when our president and vice president said that al-qaeda had been decimated. >> when was this? >> i think it was then. >> there should be no doubt, today america is stronger and al-qaeda is on the path to defeat. we decimated al-qaeda's leadership. al-qaeda is on the path to defeat and bin laden is dead. >> we decimated al-qaeda central. we have eliminated osama bin laden. >> al-qaeda is much weaker than it was when i came into office. >> osama bin laden is dead and general motors is alive. >> war in afghanistan is coming to a close. al-qaeda is on path to defeat. osama bin laden is dead. today the core of al-qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan is on the path to defeat. their remaining operatives spend more time thinking about their own safety than plotting against us. >> that all flies in the face of this new video that's out there. we showed you the still pictures. al-qaeda is not dead. their plotting and planning. it's like them back in the '80s and '90s. >> they're also out in syria in great numbers, too. >> they're all over the place. >> they're bombing them. >> absolutely. if they're out in the open, that means they're not afraid of drones. we made a misstep and killed a bunch of innocent people, so they're not doing any of that stuff. what's troubling is the fact that this whole narrative about al-qaeda is on the run and bin laden is dead was started in the run up to the reelection of the president of the united states. they got bin laden. that was fantastic. but then to take it a little further, which would make a great bumper sticker and it did, al-qaeda is on the run. it simply was not true. and now, unfortunately, we've got this video out of yemen that shows they're not on the run. they're out there. they want to kill us. >> when you talk about the al-qaeda operatives, when we do capture them and talk to them, they talk about new york being the number one terror target. when ray kelly took over, he said i got to form my own counterterrorism division and find out what's going on in the muslim community in manhattan to make sure we're able to stop the next subway bomber and times square bomber. make sure these buildings aren't about to fall. and he did it and was having great success. the a.p. does this story exposing the program, the commissioner pushed back and it was no issue. the mayor backed him, there was no issue. now we have a new mayor and a new police commissioner and now we have an issue. >> right. the new focus is easing tensions rather than getting to the bottom of what is going on. this is bill de blasio. >> he says this. >> the reform is a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve so our cops and citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys. >> he's stopping the program in its tracks right now! so we're not killing them over there and we're not finding out what's going on over here. >> and you're taking a tool out of the tool box. the information about how successful this program was, we don't know. we know that the detectives who were involved in this particular angle of the program, the muslim surveillance program have been reassigned, edge to other parts of the demographic unit. i don't know exactly what this is because it's kind of a secret. let's hope they're keeping the channels open to that community because in the past, there has been a lot of plotting and planning. >> when you talk o congressman king and rogers, ray kelly, they say it is really improved, their knowledge of what's going on over there and what they're looking to do here and we're able to not only protect new york citizens, but especially muslims in this area because muslims died in 9-11, too. >> right. and respectful surveillance program with the muslims who actually want to help get the bad guys was something that could work pro-actively to keep us all secure. >> can you imagine if boston police had someone in some of those mosques where the brothers were talk so wildly they were kicked out, we would have a guy on him or woman on that guy, be able to tail him and say, this guy is trouble. >> but parts of the program did work because the f.b.i. knew about the dzhokhar tsarnaev and his brother and gone back to mother russia and got some training and we dropped the ball at this end. >> right. what happened is the f.b.i. forgot to tell the boston police. >> we dropped the ball at this end. anyway, we thought we'd update you on things going on in the country. but there is a lot of breaking news out of georgia also in this country. >> that's right. good morning. have you been on one of those horse drawn carriage rides? >> i've been on them in savannah. >> i take a cab. >> new video out of savannah, georgia. an out of control horse takes off through the city with five passengers in the back of that carriage. this horse running wild for six city blocks before it finally hit cars. the driver of that carriage was thrown off. the tourists eventually had to jump off. cops eventually caught up with the horse. the driver broke both of her ankles. the tourists escaped with bumps and bruises and quite a story to bring back home. also overnight, coast guard and navy divers are trying to find survivors at this hour. at least four people are now confirmed dead after south korean ferry sank and there is serious fear the number could rise dramatically 'cause nearly 300 people are still reported missing sadly, many of them high school students. passengers are being rescued by choppers and fishing boats that just happen to be in the area. basically all hands on deck to try to save or find any survivors there. we'll keep you posted on the updates. he said, quote, i really need exposure and this guy got it, but for all the wrong reasons. a self-proclaimed performance artist is now under arrest after leaving a backpack near the finish line of the boston marathon. look at this guy right here. you can see him as he sort of limps through the video. inside that backpack he left was a rice cooker. police detonated that bag and another one that he left nearby. sources say that the man under arrest is 25-year-old kavon edison. he apparently yelled boston strong as he ran toward the finish line not wearing any shoes. sick joke. you know we all hate junk mail, but not as much as this dog. look at this. that is calvin the dog, destroying the junk mail as it comes through the door and those are your headlines. we were talk being this dog earlier or a similar dog?

'cause they were held against their will. >> that charge was thrown out. attempted assault on them, which was thrown out by this judge. >> that would seem like the only charge that would be viable right there because a parent should be able to do with their children what's reasonable. >> the question is in this particular case, it's reasonable. but more and more the tendency of courts in this country is to impose the will of the government, impose the standards that the government has in terms of how the children are being handled. hypothetically, what if a child was brought to a tea party rally or child was brought to the bundy rally out west, or child was brought to some situation where he didn't want to be and he went to a social worker and said, i was held against my will. i was brought here by my parents when i didn't want to be there and the government says, you know, child, you shouldn't be at the tea party. you shouldn't be at the bundy ranch. that's child abuse. that's unlawful, imprisonment. that's endangerment. it's a thin, thin line. the government is to tread really carefully about what is the parental responsibility and what is the governmental responsibility. they're not the same. the government are not the parents of our kids. now, there was a time we left blanch and veronica and sally and mary in the car, in the rental car for five or six hours with the windows close. >> they were 20 years old. this is a troubling case. >> write us on this. >> do we need the nanny court to tell us what we can and cannot do with our children if it's reason? >> thanks, steve. >> thank you very much. that was a rental car? straight ahead, folks in colorado wanted to legalize pot, but now that it's legal, they're complaining and threatening to sue. wait 'til you hear why. then have you lost that loving feeling? ♪ baby i know that >> i promise not to sing because the man behind the music pulling back the curtain on the righteous brothers. it's stories you've never heard, he's next. ♪ ♪ [announcer] play close-good and close. 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 smile food and snacks. ♪ fueling the american spirit. ♪ can you hear it? ♪ no matter when, ♪ no matter where, ♪ marathon will take you there. ♪ i've got a to-do list and five acres of fresh air. ♪ top three tools -- hammer, screwdriver, front loader. happiness is a drive-over mower deck. a john deere dealer can teach tractors to anybody.
