well. despite the lack of oxygen and 50 below temperatures, 38,000 feet in the air, the teenager survived. security footage at the san hoe -- san jose airport shows he got to the plane by hopping a

obamacare has been accepted democrats show it has not been accepted because they won't run on it. what will they do when it comes to a mid term strategy? >> debbie wasserman schultz was on "meet the press" last night. this isç hat she had to say. the interviewer is asking her if she thinks the referendum on president obama is going to affect performance in the white house. >> you have the republican party strangled by the tea party. they are way down by republican primaries in which the tea party candidates are the likely winners. and we have countless elections now that democrats have won because the republicans have nominated extremists that their voters reject. that's the advantage we will have going into this election. >> what's interesting there is effectively she was just following the talking points memo that has been circulated, and she used the word extremists to describe republicans. because james carville and stan greenberg, a couple of top democrat pollsters, what they figured out is that if democrats want to not lose everythi', what they've got to do is they've got to remind people not that the recovery is working -- because there has been no recovery -- but what seems to work is the 1% thing, the thing that worked against mitt romney. unfortunately, mitt romney not on the ballot. so what they're going to do, they're going to talk about extremists, they're going to talk about the tea party, they're going to talk about phony scandals, one percent, and the koch brothers which half the country doesn't know about. >> i find this unbelievably depressing that in order to win another election with mitt romney not out there you've gotç to tell america that it is the us against them attitude, that the rich against the poor attitude. that has never been the slogan or the feeling in the country since i've been here. maybe it is in the history books. here's what is in the memo. james carville is contributor. the more powerful message is the contrast with the c.e.o.'s in the 1% whose incomes have soared while everyone else works just as hard to get by. that reflects the real feeling in this country because the economy has not turned around because when the president says we're in economic recovery, the vice president says we're in a recovery, no one believes it because it doesn't feel that way. >> it worked before. the question is will it work again. >> without mitt romney as the bogeyman. now it makes sense that senator harry reid brings that up on the floor for noç reason. >> unfortunately for harry reid, half the country doesn't know who the koch brothers are. half the people think they are the brothers who invented that soda everyone loves. as it turns out there was an interesting interview yesterday on one of the other channels. cheryl atkinson who has done fine reporting on benghazi and corruption in this administration, she's taken a shot at the administration on a couple of fronts in the past. now what she's doing is she's taking a shot at media matters. remember media matters,ç the outfit whose sole intent, it seems to me, to run this television network out of business. she was on yesterday and she had an extraordinary claim that apparently the people at media matters, that george soros funded way left group helped reporters, at least her at cbs, produce stories that ran on the cbs television network. listen to this. >> media matters, is my understanding, is a far left lob group that i think holds itself out to be an independent watchdog group. they clearly targeted me at some point. they used to work with me on some stories. >> they used to work with me on stories. >> she goes on to say they are getting paid now to discredit her. we did contact media matters. they said she is continuing a pattern of evidence freeç speculation that started at her tenure at cbs. we have never taken contributions to target her or any other reporter. our decision to post any research on attkisson is based only on her shoddy reporting. >> what is interesting about that statement is they did not say they did not help her, help her produce a story. >> they said they didn't get paid money to discredit her. >> i think given the fact that media matters helped people at cbs, i think reporters at cbs need to come out and say yes, media matters has helped me on a story. nbc, same thing. abc, same thing. i know media matters never helped us. >> i know that for sure. i can't use the word help and media matters in the same sentence. sharyl att kisson has gotten awards for her

democrats doing major damage control ahead of the november elections. the new strategy? don't use the r word. there are many r words. which are we talking about? what happened when one of the busiest victoria's secret stores in america leaves the doors unlocked? america may surprise you. according to everyone i talk to mornings are better with friends. >> i am ivanka trump and you are watched "fox and friends". >> do you back your daughter or go against her on that? >> i back my daughter on everything. >> i hope you had a good easter yesterday. >> where were you for easter? >> i was at one of the clubs. we had about 700 people. anybody that is members of my clubs are my best friends. we had a great time. it was a great easter. >> let's talk a little bit about what is going on in the world. it sounds like politics are on play. on good friday afternoon the administration announced we will not go forward with the keystone pipeline until after the mid term elections. a lot of it has to do with the fact that there is this billionaire liberal guy that donated to make sure democrats stay in control of the senate. but then you have some democrats on the senate saying we are for the jobs. that is why debbie wasserman schultz said the decision not political. >> i want to make sure the right decision is arrived at and the president makes that decision carefully and doesn't factor politics into his decision. >> politics has nothing to do with it. >> it is amazing she can make a statement like that with a straight face. everyone has their own issues with debbie wasserman schultz. it is a joke. i'm a big believer. we don't need pipelines. we don't need anything. we should certainly improve the pipeline. you see what is going on in ukraine and so many other places where russia is playing the oil card and gas card. >> do you think it will be approved once the mid term elections? >> i think maybe it will be approved. it will be approved in the next administration. look, we don't need pipe lines. we have it right under our own feet. let's build it anyway. it is jobs. it is not going to hurt anybody. it is purely a political thing. the environmentalists are at work. you are talking about a lot of jobs and something that needed badly or not would be a positive. it is another way of transporting energy and that's a good thing. >> with a friendly country who likes us. >> with the friendly country who likes us who can't understand it who has been saying we are going to sell to china. they have been playing that card now for four years. it's a shame. the prime minister came out and was practically begging the united states to do it. you are talking about thousands and thousands of jobs. you are talking about a lot of investment. it is a positive thing. they should do it. it is actually inconceivable that this one hasn't been approved yet. i guess eventually it will be. >> just stand by. how about this, mr. trump. apparently democrat pollsteres did talking points memo for democrats and said don't use the recovery word because there has been no recovery. they write the more powerful setup for democrats' economic message is the ceos and one percenters whose incomes soared while everyone else works hard to just get by. what they are saying is push the koch brothers. >> they are playing the age-old card. it does work and has been effective. it is a card that sort of historically has worked. i'm not sure it will work now. i think what will certainly overshadow it is the failure of obamacare. i think republicans will have a tremendous victory in november because of what is happening with obamacare. they talk about 7 million people but don't mention all the people who aren't able to get plans. i have people who i speak to all the time who are devastated by what happened. i think the obamacare situation, the only thing that stuck to obama, the obamacare situation will lead to a big republican victory in november. >> speaking of republican victories. i read you have contributed to ted cruz's coffers. does that mean you are supporting him? >> he came in and asked whether or not and it is a pact for certain causes. >> the high school senior suspended for asking miss america for prom. now she is asking the school to reverse the punishment. this is what the kid stood up and asked her. >> miss america, i have a question for you. >> so, anyway, he got in trouble because the school said don't ask. they suspended him for three days. she put on facebook, school, reconsider. she was on the program and said this. >> i did ask them to rethink their decision. i'm not sure what ended up coming out of it. i have to say this wasn't my first prom invitation. unfortunately, my schedule is quite booked up until september when i pass on the title. i won't have time to go or to the other ones i was invited to, as well. >> you are the owner of a number of beauty pageants. what do you think of this whole brouhaha. >> miss usa would have accepted immediately. the fact is he was still not to do it. he shouldn't have done it. who can blame him? she is a beautiful young woman. he was told beforehand. do not do it because he told everyone he was going to do it. i guess they have to give him a minor punishment. i call it a minor punishment. >> are you suggesting that if this kid contacted miss usa she would be his date to the prom? >> i would hate to speak for her. actually, no. miss america handled it very nicely and i am sure miss usa would have handled it the same way. >> would an 18-year-old donald trump have done the same thing? >> i think i would have. i might have rushed to the stage. that would have made it a step worse. >> now it is a news story so he is getting his fame. >> he doesn't have to ask for a date, he owns the company. >> that's exactly right. >> mr. trump, thanks for joining us on this easter monday. the horse race has really begun for mid terms. >> we are talking about an airplane stow away this morning. usually when we have these kiebkinds they may not end well. a 16-year-old boy catches a flight by hiding in the plane's wheel well. despite lack of oxygen 38,000 feet in the sky the teenager survived. security video shows the kid hopped the fence and got on the plane. he is now in custody of child protective services. chaos at an easter service in florida after a car plows right into a packed church injuring 21 people. more than 200 parishioners were in the church when the lexus slammed into the building. the devastation pushing over pews, tables and also trapping people. >> and then we just hear it. >> i heard some people were underneath the car. >> the driver telling police that her brakes failed as she was turning into a parking spot. happening overnight four more crew members detained following the deadly ferry accident. one first mate, chief engineer accused of abandoning ship. the ferry's captain and two other crew members are in custody for the same thing. south korea's president calls the actions unforgivable and murderous. 62 people now confirmed dead and 232 people are missing. news max host sends this. >> what great timing. purely accidental, purely an act of nature. purely left up to god and god answered hillary clinton's prayers. >> now newsmax executive editor is apologizing saying the comments were intended to be humorous and not hurtful and were clearly inappropriate and do not reflect the views of newsmax. >> the white house warning parents watch your kids for warning signs your children might be radicalized. islam isn't one of those signs. that is very curious. if you thought airplanes were always a tight squeeze it is about to get tighter. they are jamming in more seats and we will have to stare at each other. >> is that possible?

the only thing we can fix there is dissonance there because they are talking about muslims and islamism but don't have the courage to name it. you can't have a policy or national security. it is a complete disaster. those of us doing reform work are left in the margins while the appall ogists in denial. >> and the message from white house is parents your kids might become radicalized. they don't mention religion which is a missing part. the other thing with the tsarnaev brothers mom was in on it. she is not going to narc on her kids. one interesting thing is apparently the organization c.a.r.e. wants taxpayer money for protection for mosques. you think that is across the line? >> mosques are at more risk than they were after 9/11. here is the organization that has posted build the wall of resistance against the fbi. now they are demanding more funds. the religious institutions that are more affected are synagogues, temples. we need to be less hypocritical of muslim community. we need to -- do you remember the tsarnaev brothers stood up in a mosque and screamed at an imam weeks before the event happened and continuing to say we don't want nypd in the facility and leave us alone that is not a counter terrorism strategy. it will bring us back not only before 9/11 but back to the 90s which is where our security is today. >> thanks for joining us on this easter monday. look over there. remember those iconic snack foods from your childhood?

>> it is most popular in america. adults and children lub ove it mid term elections are right around the corner in november. debbie wasserman schultz was on "meet the press" last night and she said the mid term elections is not a referendum on president obama's performance instead of on the candidate's performance. she said republicans are going to lose because of the tea party, because of the extremists. take a listen. >> you have the republican party strangled by the tea party. they are weighed down by republican primaries in which tea party candidates are likely winners. we have countless elections now that democrats have won because the republicans have nominated extremists that their voters reject. that is the advantage we have going into the election. >> they don't pay her enough because she was able to say that with a straight face. look at the polls. the president's popularity has gone on the tank and everybody has admitted pretty much on both sides that the balance of power in congress hangs in the balance. with the president's popularity it is not helping anybody. for her to say it is not a referendum on him is crazy. she did use one word where she tried to tag as extremists. there is a new talking point that says we figured a way, don't talk about the recovery because that didn't work. instead we have something else. class warfare. >> here is an excerpt from the memo. the more powerful setup for democratic economic message is contrast with ceos and the 1% whose incomes have soared while everyone else works hard just to get by. here is my question. if that gap is widening -- if they believe that is the number one issue that resonates with america isn't he somewhat responsible for it? don't you think that forget about parties for a second. start to resent the successful people, that's the way to bring it down? >> class warfare worked effectively in the battle jens mitt romney with barack obama. for the democrats mitt romney is not running. what they are trying to do is whip up -- every time you hear harry reid talk about the koch brothers trying to say they are protecting the ceos while you can't get minimum wage. it is something that worked in the past and they hope it will help keep control of the senate this time. >> they said they drilled down on the exit polls in the last election. they said even though the president of the united states' numbers were bad and they asked a question saying you voted for president obama because i voted for the guy who i thought was looking out for me. so president obama is a communicator to the respect that he had people convinced that he was looking out for them. >> almost 50% of the country disapproves to him now according to latest gallup polls. we have told you for years about media matters which among other things is out to destroy fox news. they so far have not been so successful. sharyl attkisson worked for cbs. turns out when she was sitting at her desk at cbs every once in a while the phone would ring and it would be media matters calling up to assist her in producing her news stories. keep in mind, media matters is a george siroes funded way left of center political group. for a bona fide member of the mainstream media to be taking their assistance which is clearly propclear ly propaganda. >> sort of an independent media watch dog group. they clearly targeted me at some point. they used to work with me on stories to try to help me produce my stories. >> they are not a watch dog. they are an attack dog. >> she had stories against the bush administration for various fundraising things. she was not considered until she started doing investigations of things like benghazi and stories stopped being aired she said. >> she said now they are paying other people or reporters to discredit her. this is what media matters said. sharyl attkisson is continuing a pattern of evidence-free speculation that started at the end of her tenure at cbs. >> it doesn't say we didn't help her. so they are doing their best to divert attention away from her allegation that they tried to help her. they did help her produce her stories at cbs. somebody at cbs needs to come out given the fact that they are a far left attack dog, media matters is, and say they never helped us or say they helped us with this, this and this. they never helped any of us here at fox news channel with stories we have done. they admitted to planning september 11 attacks. those terrorists scored a lucky break and you can thank our government for that. bad day on the job for one firefighter caught on cell phone video. he is upside down. what happens next?

>> we certainly have an image problem. it is amazing how the strength of being a superpower has crumbled. the president is at the heart of the problem. i don't think any rational person can disagree with that. that is what america gets for electing a symbol rather than a leader. george w. bush bless him for his faults was derided for saying i am a decider. that above all is what a president has to be, the one who makes the tough decisions in a timely manner. you see obama's track record going back where he just voted present. there is a basic rule in the military that applies to life in general. a mediocre decision made promptly is better than a perfect decision made too late. the left and bicoastal intelligence celebrates obama's deliberative process weighing the facts. the world doesn't hold stay. that may work in revising curriculum in arts in university. when you are dealing with vladimir putin you have to make a decision and follow through. that is another problem obama has as leader no follow through. look at libya. he walks away. syria a big crisis. assad is going to go. crim crimea. he is a president who is so profoundly unprepared. and his character -- >> i'm going to push back a second. america was tired of being involved in the middle east and tired of bailing out europe. we are tired of getting involved. is america getting what they voted for? >> that is like i'm tired of my 10 and 12 year old. they will have to fend for themselves. i wish we could stay home and live in our wonderful country and prosper. when we detach from the world the world comes to us. we have to make intelligent decisions about where and when we get involved. think economically and efficiently. above all, a president cannot be poll driven all the time. it is the president's job to explain to the american people why a given crisis matters and obama lacks the courage even to do that much. >> as he goes to the east and has to deal with china and japan and south korea. they look at how they handle the others and think they have a template of how to act and can do it basically however they want. we need another ten minutes but unfortunately we don't have it. thanks for joining us this morning. you know elvis presley as the king of rock and roll. what about elvis the truck driver. our next guest has a ton of stories that he swears is true. good morning to you. this is the day the city of boston has waited one year for. this is the day they want revenge. how do you keep 26 miles safe with a million spectators spread across eight different towns and cities?
