Now the sink hole victims brother described a horrifying ordeal. Well have him live. The entire bizarre story ahead rvelts plus, the governments latest self inflicted crisis that they like to call the sequester is is he questio sequ. The president calls it dumb. Speaking of, Chris Wallace will explain what will or lp will not happen at midnight. You saw this plasti last ho. If it were up to me, wed show it the whole hour. Theres not much going on. Faa, do you have nothing to do with your time . The ha harlem shake is ahead uns breaking news changes everything on studio b. But first from fox at 3 00 in new york city and in tampa where cops say a man is likely dead after the ground beneath his bedroom suddenly opened up and swallowed him. The mans brother was in the house at the time. He said he heard a loud crash, ran to see what happened, dove into the crater in an attempt to save his si sibling but couldnt find any sign of him. We heard a loud crash, and i ran in there. I heard somebody screaming, my brother screaming. I ran in there is all i could see was the big hole and the top of his bed. I didnt see nothing else. I jumped in the hole and tried getting him out. I couldnt get him. I tried to get him out. I couldnt do nothing. It swallowed his whole bed, his dresser, everything in his room is gone. Aint nothing there no more. Was it the mattress . I seen the top of the mattress, the bottom of the box spring, and the bed frame. That was it. You never saw him. I never saw him. I thought i heard him. Thats why i was digging for him. What did you do after that . The cop snatche snatched me f the hole, that i couldnt be in there, that the hole was still caving in. I didnt care. I just wanted my brother, man. That was a sheriffs deputy who rescued him from the hole. Cops have ordered the evacuation of several nearby homes out of concern that the crater may be growing. We cant see it from the outside but Officials Say theres a 30 foot wide, 20 foot deep hole in that bedroom. Is there any hope for the guy who is apparently down in there somewhere . Reporter shepard, this happened at 11 p. M. Last night. Since then there have been no signs of life. Engineers have putting in listening devices and cameras but r really coming from the hoe that indicates 36yearold jeff bush might be alive. He was asleep when the hole opened up directly beneath him. Of the six, the five survivors moved to a hotel exempt for one aunt sleeping in her car out front, keeping a vigil, waiting for news. Theyre concerned the hole may be still growing . Thats right. Theyre trying to get an accurate reading on it right now, but its been tough. Its been tough for engineers and even rescue workers because the ground, the territory around that house is still deemed to be unstable, so its been tough for them to really do their jobs. Our crews have continued in their efforts to try and locate mr. Bush. We have brought in additional sophisticated equipment this morning to try and help us determine the structure stability, what our efforts can be to try and locate him safely without endangering more percent personnel. Reporter some of that additional equipment is penetrating radar. Theyre trying to build a map of the terrain underneath the house to see how unstable it is. Theyre trying to determine how many more houses need to be evacuated. Shepard. Steve hair began i harrigan a newsroom. Republicans and democrats today failed to reach a compromise to avoid the big governmentcreated spending or crisis known as the sequester. With a midnight deadline about nine hours away, the president said he Still Believes the feds will be able to avoid financial apocalypse, but he also blames republicans for failing to stop the automatic spending cuts. What doesnt make sense and the only thing weve seen from republicans so far in terms of proposals is to replace this set of arbitrary cuts with even worse arbitrary cuts. Thats not going to help the economy. Thats not going to help growth. Thats not going to create jobs. The president also said he cannot use a jedi mind meld to convince his political opponents to change their minds. Of course, many republicans see things differently or say they do. Today House Speaker john boehner said he refuses to raise taxes in order for the government to make ends meet. Lets make it clear that the president got his tax hikes on january 1st. This discussion about revenue, in my view, is over. Its about taking on the spending problem here in washington. So what happens now . Everything from drastic military cuts to longer lines at the airports to more unrelated pot holes on the interstate. Wendell goler is live at the white house. I dont know exactly when them not getting anything done in that town seeses t ceases to be. In my estimation, it has. Reporter shep, the president said the pain will be real but not everyone will feel it. Some who do wont feel it for weeks or months but he says the cuts will help some people and hurt the economy overall. He called the cuts arbitrary and dumb and he wouldnt take the blame for the failure to reach an agreement. The majority of the American People agree with me and this approach including, by the way, a majority of republicans. We just need runs in congress to catch up with their own party and the country on this. If they did so, we could make a lot of progress. Reporter he said its a caucus off common sense willing to use additional tax revenue to loather deficit. He hopes in a matter of weeks or months it gains the upper hand, shepard. What from republicans . Reporter republicans suggest when the president agreed not to make tax revenue a part of the sequester he basically took it out of the equation. They say he is now moving the goal posts, although the president s aides said he always made it clear that more tax revenue had to be part of reducing the deficit which is the overall goal. Speaker boehner said he got that revenue at the end of last year and made a veiled threat about a budget Agreement Congress needs to pass bit end of this month. The house is going to move a continuing resolution next week to fund the government past march 27th, and im hopeful that we wont have to deal with a threat of a Government Shutdown while were dealing with the sequester at the same time. The president made clear he, too, wants to avoid that fight. He said hell accept the deal but continue spending at the sequester cut level. Thanks. So what do the employees in washington have in store for us now . Well look at this whole sequester dust up with the fox x news sunday host Chris Wallace. A driver sends a bus full of people into oncoming traffic after he passed out. Well go live to tampa, florida. Find out how a sink hole swallows up a man. And whether theyll be able to get him out of there. Ns for you. Im up next, but now im sging the heartburn blues. Hold on, prilosec isnt for fast relief. Cue up alkaseltzer. It stops heartburn fast.

Polaris hardestworking, smoothestriding. More now on washingtons awfulness and its failure to reach a deal on the government created budgetary game of chicken that theyre calling sequester this time. In two or three months well have another crisis and it will have another time its calling sequester. Make no mistake about it, political gam building on the future of our economy. Plain and simple. Will the earth crack open and swallow the country, no, but it does prove that capitol hill is as divided as ever. Chris, i keep readin reading pee saying this is fine. They should do this. The pentagon says this budget is making them keep a program they dont want and cancel a program that they really need. This is the dumbest thing ive ever seen. Well, i agree with you, shep. Of course, it was designed to do that because of the fact that we were never going to reach this point a year and a half ago which we have now reached, but in fairness to the republicans, they say youre right. It is done. We want to give the president more authority so he can sit there and decide, you know, to cut the programs that should be cut, dont cut the programs that shouldnt be, and the president and democrats dont want the flexibility to make the choices. Thats pretty dumb right there. Shepard they dont want to be blamed. Nobody wants to be blamed. Its all politics, isnt it . Well, yeah, but the point is weve reached this point. No, no. Weve reached this point, and the president you would think as the commanderinchief, the person in charge of our National Security, would want to decide what National Security programs to cut and what not to, and he doesnt want his fingerprints on it. Let me tell you somebody else who is a little disgusted with all this. We have an exclusive interview this weekend with mitt romney. And i asked him about the mess in washington yesterday. Take a look. How do you think the president has handled the sequester, the 85 billion in automatic spending cuts. No one can think thats been a success for the president. He didnt think the sequester would happen. It is happening, but today what weve seen is the president out campaigning to the American People, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating republicans and blaming and pointing. Now, what does that do . That causes the republicans to retrench and put up a wall and fight back. Its a very National Human emotion. The president has the opportunity to lead the nation and to bring republicans and democrats together. Its a job hes got to do, and its a job only the president can do. You know he, shep, it was so interesting. This is the first introo view it mitt and ann romney have given since the election. I went to san diego and interviewed them. They still feel the sting of the defeat but both romney and mrs. Romney feel he would have been uniquely qualified to avoid the mess that were in right now, and they feel the frustration. Shepard what does he say about people in his party throwing him under the bus now . They havent been that kind to him. I guess thats part of politics, too. Yeah. He knows it, and he says i understand it and people are going to say whatever they want to say. He said look, i lost. Im not the guy that most people are going to want to take advice from because i lost an election a lot of them think i should have won, but he said on the other hand, i care too much about this country. I know some people will ignore me. I will say what i think. People will take it for what its worth. Shepard mitt and ann romney on fox news sunday. Back to the sink hole story. Seems we have our technical issues worked out. As we reported, cops in tampa say a man is likely dead today after the ground bet underneaths bred room opened up and swallowed him up. The sink hole guy is taylor yarkoski. Hes a sink hole expert and contractor who takes care of this sort of thing. What causes this . Well, shep, first of all, thanks for having me on today. I send my condolences to the family. This is a horrible situation. In florida we have lime rock down below the surface, you know, anywhere an average to 30 to 100 feet down. We have very sandy soils in florida. Over the years the lime rock will erode and break and the soil essentially shifts and passes downward and you know, almost like an hour glass effect where over time it creates voids and holes and anomalies under the homes that eventually you feel at the surface, and you know, a catastrophic sink hole like this can happen at any time, and they do happen down here more than people know. I read that theyre using some sort of technology to try to figure out how big this thing is going to become. How do you do that . Well, you know, thats what the engineers have to determine and look at. You never know. At the end of the day, were using, you know, were testing soils and trying to determine whats going on down below the ground. At the end of the day, nobody really knows to a hundred percent scientific certainty. This thing could continue to open, it could be done opening at this point. Theyre going to do some geological tests im sure to determine whats going on and how much more they perceive of this happening any further. Shepard the sink hole guy. Taylor, thanks. On the phone with us is jeremy bush, the brother of the guy who fell in the singl sink hole. You jumped in the hole to try to rescue him. Any updates . No no updates. I dont know whats going on with him. Go on. I know hes still in the hole. All theyre doing is drilling holes around the house. Nobody will go in the house to get him. Hes been in there since sen 100 last night. Shepard its my understanding theyve had listening devices, there, and sadly, jeremy, theyre not optimistic. Yeah. Theyre drilling holes right now. Shepard i heard you explain earlier that you heard the noise, sounded like a crash, i think you said, and you dived in the thing, huh . Yes. Me and myocardial infarctio my d daughter and my fatherinlaw was in my roosm. We just got back from getting something to eat. I knocked on my brothers door to let him know we wasnt working today and he answered me back and say okay. I went back to my room. Me and my wife and daughter and fatherinlaw was in my room. We heard a loud noise like something crashed through the house. We get up and run. I ran to my brothers room. I go to open the door, and i run in, and my wife turns the light on. I cant see nothing. Theres nothing there. His beds gone, his dressers gone, his tvs gone. Hes gone, and im yelling and screaming for him. I jump in the hole. I start screaming for somebody to bring me a hovel. I get a shovel, i start trying to dig and dig, and i thought i heard are you still there . Shepard im listening, jeremy, thank you. Go ahead. I thought i heard him hollering my name for me to help. Thats why i kept digging and kept digging and kept digging. My old lady was on the phone with 911 and they kept tell me to get out of the hole, get out of the hole, get out of the hole because i was in danger. I wasnt able to find my brother. I lost my brother and my house and everything i ever worked for in my life. I have nothing now. Shepard when you were in this hole, jeremy, there was dirt all over the top of all of his things, i suppose the walls were caving around it, the dirt walls . No. The walls were still standing. The only thing that gave way was the concrete floor, all the dirt underneath it, and the only thing i could see was a corner of his bed, a corner of his box springs, and a corner of his bed frame. Thats all i could see. Shepard wow. There was no way for anybody to get in there and try to remove some of that dirt to see if they couldnt get your brother out from under it. I was trying. I was trying and trying. I couldnt move the bed. The bed was full of dirt. I couldnt move them nowhere. I was trying to dig with a shovel and dig with a shovel, dig with my hand. I was trying to put in an air pocket to see if i could feel him. I thought i could hear him yelling for me to help him, and then the cops the cop come in the house and snatched me out of the hole. Shepard its my understanding the dirt was caving in on you as well, that you could well have become a victim yourself. The dirt was still falling in and stuff like that, and as the cop was trying to get me out, things were falling and starting to crack. I got out of the there for my 2yearold daughter. Shepard its my understanding one of your relatives slept in the car last night out in front of the house. Yes. My aunt. My old ladys aunt slept in front of the house. Shepard wow. What are you guys hoping for now . I just want them to get my brother out so i can have closure and theres nothing else i can do. I work all my life, all my life. Im 36 years old. Ive worked all my life. Ive been working two jobs to take care of my 2yearold daughter and my wife, and its been so har, and i cant do it now. I dont have anything to do, to give them. Everythings gone. Shepard are you insured, jeremy . The house is insured, yes. Its not our house. My my old ladys grandfathers house. Weve been renting the house from him because he stays in north carolina. Shepard i see the live pictures at the house and a lot of media there. Is the thinking that the authorities are going to be able to get in there soon . They told me that they were going to give us an update at 5 00, so away from here so all the media is not around. They can give us an update on whats going on. Shepard jeremy bush. I dont know. Thats a lot to deal with today, my friend. Good luck to you and your family. Well keep watch. All the best. Well be right back. Shepard well, its really dry and its really windy and thats a mess when youre trying to fight a fire which crews are in the hills of southern california. Look at these pictures. Flames ripping across this wildlife area in riverside. Thats east of l. A. , and the fire has damaged at least one house and is threatening to gobble up more of them. At the same time, the National Weather service issued a wind advisory for the area, reporting that wind gusts could top 35 miles an hour today. Its happening in the same area that cops say the rogue excop Christopher Dorner shot and killed an officer last month. He eventually turned up dead himself. Adam housley is in los angeles in our newsroom. Any progress containing this thing . Reporter yeah, shepard. Theyve made some good progress. The winds do yo died down a bit. It didnt get in the mountains so they have a handle on it. Those pictures are unbelievable when you look at it. You normally see this type of stuff in october or november with the santa ana winds. This fire burned right now were told 311 acres. Its 40 contained. For those who have covered a lot of fires, it means they have a handle on it. They havent gotten the fire line cut around it, but at least this fire, right now the winds have died down enough they have a good handle on it, but theres more winds coming. Shepard first of march and a brush fire. How dry is it. The dryest january and february on record in california. Most times california was end of may, first of june was the fire season. Now fire season is 12 months out of the year. This fire makes it extremely clear. These are conditions you would see in october or november, not march. Firefighters are concerned about whats ahead. Theres a chance that theres a big storm coming in next week, but again, january and february in california. The dryest on record, shepard. Shepard adam housley in l. A. Thanks. Lets get to the vatican. Catholic officials made a few changes to the former popes living quarters now that he has officially stepped down. The va vaticans exsecretary of state sealed the elevator that leads to the papal apartment with many of the doors using red ribbon and tape. Those doors will stay closed until Church Leaders select a new guy. Thats the next step. Today officials confirm that cardinals from around the globe known as the princes of the church will get together on monday to discuss the process of picking a new leader for the 1. 2 billion catholics. A vatican spokesman said it could still be days before we know when the actual vote will get underway. The church has 207 cardinals in all, but only those under the age of 80 are eligible to vote which brings the number to 115. Wow. Amy kellogg is in room. Hello, amy. Reporter yeah, shep. Wow is right because that means that about even more than 40 of the cardinals are 80 or over. Now, this college of cardinals is often referred to as the smallest elite Gentlemens Club in the world, but frankly, they dont all know each other that well because they come from all over the world, so theyll take time in the coming days and hopefully not more than days but obampossible weeks to get to knw each other personally and also the different positions that they have on doctrine. I spoke to one of the youngest princes of this group. Thats Cardinal Timothy dolan of new york. I asked him how he thinks that theyre going to find a pope who can both inspire people spirit wally but also tackle some of the issues the church is facing from the curia infighting to the sexual abuse scandals. You need a st. , but you dont need an angel. You know the difference, of course. We need a human person who has good human talents, dont we. So we look for somebody who almost has his head in the clouds but who has his feet firmly on earth. Reporter we are now in a period of the vacancy where its a period of great suspension. The vatican issues special stamps for the occasion. People were lined up at the Vatican Post Office to purchase them and commemorative envelopes as well. The coat of arms changes in this period. Instead of having the papalty ar ra over keys, you have the umbrella and also shep period some commemorative coins will be issued. Those apparently wont come out until april. Were hoping that the coins come out after theres a new pope. Shep. Shepard lets hope. Amy kellogg in the period of great suspension.

The former basketball star who once dressed up as a woman to promote a book said today that the north Korean Leader who starves people and tortures Political Prisoners is, quote, awesome. The five time nba champion Dennis Rodman spent time with kim the younger. He inherited the power, i dont know, a while back from his father. A coupleears ago. The nba hall of famer had a lot of great things t to say about e kim family dynasty. His grandfather and his father are great leaders, and hes such a proud man. As a young kid, a common kid, hes so awesome. And he loves his wife so much. Shepard are we on the same planet . Does he not know what hes talking about . Did anybody tell him about the lack of electricity, the people starving to death, the cash crop is missiles . I think were absolutely certain Dennis Rodman doesnt know what hes talking about, arent he we . That is nuts. Shepard if you can read, you can watch the television to learn hes not awesome. Hes not awesome. Hes not awesome, dennis. His government governments ont impressive in all the world with strict media control, widespread hunger problems and prison camps. Beside that, eas hes awesome. What did kim the younger do to impress our basketball holiness . They appear to be bffs, thats for sure. They were all smiles courtside as you can see, kim jong un and Dennis Rodman as members of the harlem globe trotters played along side some north korean players. The game youll be pleased to know was a tie which means at least everybody gets to live and Dennis Rodman loves kim the younger. Listen. Hes an awesome kid. Hes an awesome guy. Hes awesome. The wun one thing about him. No one man can do anything. Not one man. Any one thing. Hes proud. His country like him. Not like him. Love him. Love him. Guess what . I love him. The guy is awesome. In case you debit get that, Dennis Rodman things kim the younger is awesome. Once youve been married to carmen electra, your standards of of awesome are somewhat different. Shepard could she have been drink . He could have been anything. Shepard what makes him think people love him, wait theyre acting . I dont get it. If youre at basketball game organized by the north korean state, youre presumably surrounded by hand picked North Koreans who, yes, show their love for him. The state department weighed in on this weirdly today. They didnt want to address any direct criticism of the trip, but they did point out the high puchihypocracy cease of ki of k. Lifnl. W exchanges of sports or something we do with certain countries where maybe we dont have a good relationship, but you know, this is coming at time where weve got significant activity at the u. N. To work for a strong credible response after this nuclear test. Clearly youve got the regime spending money to wine and dine foreign visitors when they should be feeding their own people. So how awesome is kim the younger in terms of his own people . The average north korean apparently earns Something Like 1800 per year. Dennis rodmans Career Salary in the nba, about ten years was 30 million, so by my admi admittedy dodgy math, that would mean the average north korean would have to live and work 16,666 years to match rodmans nba career earnings. Thats how awesome kim the younger is. Shepard maybe he doesnt know they dont have lights at night. Or maybe when he was thinking of kim the younger kardashian. Shepard that does explain it. And rod my could b rodman coy state of mind as we well know. Carmen electric electric electre to say. Shepard hes awesome. His people love him. Dennis rodman love him. Happy friday. Shepard mercifully. Sequester friday in what is it a state of suspense. Im going to live in that period of great suspense with a nod and a thanks to you are own amy kellogg in rome. The lawmakers we pay to get stuff done in washington arent doing anything. Nothing. They did not reach a compromise to avoid sweeping budget cuts that would affect a lost americans. The thing is they invented the crisis in the first place. They invented the remedy. They voted on the remedy. They hated the remedy. They voted i on it, they put itn place, and it will kill everybody. What happens now. Mike emanual is on capitol hill. Are there widespread renations across the fruited plains, mike . Reporter that would be a no, shep. It sounds very much like its back to the drawing board as weve been reporting. Republicans do not want to give new tax re revenue as part of te acquired spending reduction. After the meeting, the democrats order this. The president challenged us to look at all the expenditures that government makes and whether its about e entitlemens and see if we could come to some agreement on how we can go forward. As they struggle with the spending reductions, the calendar presents new critical dates such as the government running out of money on march 27th. At this point everybody is saying they want to avoid a Government Shutdown, shep. Are there ifort efforts undeo do the reductions in a smarter way . The house is planning to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running through september. With that theyre planning to a attach a Defense Authorization bill that would provide flexibility to move around National Security money. If the senate would pass it and the president would sign it, that would give them would bring that bill into effect and they would have direction and the ability to spend money where its most needed. For now, furlough notices are going out as each Government Agency begins the process of dealing with these reductions. As they start doing that, theyve got a deadline, march 27th, to keep the entire government up and running. Shepard thats the next freakout. We have these every couple of months. Thats how the government doesnt work, so the next one again is march 27th. That would be the next countdown loccountdown clo beine corner of the screen. Shepard thats great. Mike emanuel on capitol hill. There are certain things you should not do on an airplane. We know this is one of them. Wasnt aware of this. I did know my ipod will crash the plane.

See if americas most prescribed ed treatment is right for you. Shepard a new report shows a huge drop in what average americans are earning. According to the commerce department, personal income fell by 3. 6 in january, the biggest month to month plunge in like 20 years. Analysts point that this could be a pay back for a boost in income during the month of december when a lot of companies handed out dividends and bonuses ahead of planned tax hikes at the start of 2013, so thats probably what this is all about. The government also reported that even with less money in our wallets, Consumer Spending went up in january, but just barely. That could explain it as well. The founder of a Financial Services firm is here. If they handed out a lot of money in december, it makes sense that spending goes up in january and theyll be handing out less in january. This could be a statistical blip of nothingness. I think thats right, shep. When you have an increase in taxes as we know as a result of the fiscal cliff this year, there will be a lot less income if peoples pockets as a result of this. We saw this past month a carryingover effect to january of people spending more as well as having more after tax income in their pockets. I think its also a result of why the market has been driven to where it is. I mean, we live in a world, shep, where the economic marketplace is international in nature and its very, very complicated. And sometimes it looks as if weve lost the owners manual. The good side of it is that the economy is showing corporate profits being up in the last quarter. Shepard thank god corporate profits are up. Theyre at a level that we havent seen in forever and they wont hire anybody. What i like is housing looks really good. Housing seems to be like its bottoming out. I think ben bernanke and the fed has done a good job managing Interest Rates and keeping them low. Youre starting to see people put money to work in the Housing Market because Interest Rates are so low and theyre borrowing costs obviously are very reasonable. If you look at historical Interest Rate averages, borrowing for a home. These are record numbers. I think people are, you know, looking at their paychecks and trying to match and get the best deal that they can. It seems as if, shep, that banks are becoming a little bit more lenient with their lending practices again. Shepard we can hope. I watch the dow every day. At some point real soon it looks like were going to top an all time high. These companies are making gaboodles of money. Theyre not hiring anybody, an most are not paying taxes. I think thats right. When you look at positive signs, sometimes its difficult to do because we still have a 16. 4 or 5 trillion dollar deficit.
