80s, a will feel like a big cool-down. jon: a lot of trees blooming in new york. you said it. jon: rick reichmuth, thank you. jenna: new information on iran about stirring violence in afghanistan. there is a report that leaders in tehran ordered agents in afghanistan to encourage violent protests over accidental burning of korans by u.s. soldiers. new york times reveal iran gave the orders hours after learning of the incident. seth jones, former advisor to the commanding general of special operations forces in afghanistan. what do you think about this? well, it s not that surprising. iran has been involved in providing limited amounts of assistance to afghan insurgent groups including the taliban for several years. small arms, intelligence, some training. so this doesn t come as a big surprise it is just probably notable with the u.s. departure there are questions about the iranian presence will be after the u.s. leaves. jenna: what do you think the presence will be like?.
interests to see if there is way a way to work there. there are critics of that, and you know it well when it has anything to do with iran and including the nuclear program. we are getting a report that iran is balking on nuclear talks in turkey. they don t like the location. they would rather see it in china. they would rather see it in iraq. what do you think is the next step with iran? i think iran is trying to do what it has been trying to do for a long time which is drag its feet on these issues. it appears it wants to build a nuclear program. so any efforts to speed up its building of a program and drag its feet on the diplomatic end gives it more time. that he is my judgment what iran is trying to do right now. drag its feet. give more time to build the program and build deployment capability so it can not just have the nuclear weapons but also deployment capability on missiles that can shoot them if necessary. jenna: yeah, scary thought. seth, thanks so much.
encourage violent protests over those denial burnings of qurans by u.s. soldiers. a closer look at that story coming up. and homes are hitting rock bottom prices these days. is it a good time to buy, or is it better to represent? a live rent? a live report that may clarify that. and do you wake up in the middle of the night and can t get back to sleep? what about it, jenna? jenna: sometimes. jon: me too. a new prescription sleeping pill hits store shelves today, but is it for you? our doctor gives us the facts. it s all new next hour. jenna: stories like this can certainly keep you awake, new images out of nuclear-armed north korea today showing leader kim jong un meeting his troops. the timing of this release is noteworthy, and here s why: north korea says it will launch what it claims is a satellite as early as seven days from now. the u.s. and many countries suspect the pending rocket launch is really a test of the north s long-range ballistic
even though buying is now much more affordable than renting in so many parts of the country, many people still don t qualify for a mortgage or haven t saved enough for a down payment because we re coming out of this recession. lots of people are either still unemployed or not secure enough where they are in their job to be ready to buy. reporter: other important point, industry professionals say you will be unlikely to reap the benefits of it being cheaper to buy than to rent unless you plan to stay in your newly purchased home for at least 10 years. that is due to all the upfront costs and closing fees. this is very much, jon and jenna, a life-style decision. jon: james rosen. thanks for that. jenna: we had the big jobs report on friday we ll be awaiting and we re also minutes away from the deadline today. the justice department expected to respond to a judge s request to clarify the president s controversial remarks on the supreme court. we have a live report on that moments away
that and breaking news as the second hour of happening now starts right now. jenna: well, back to our top story, the deadline fast approaching for the department of justice. jon: the federal judge orders a report from the department of justice detailing whether the supreme court has the right to overturn laws passed by congress, specifically referring to president obama s health care law. jenna: that s jon scott, i m jenna lee, and lis wiehl is here, a former federal prosecutor and fox news legal analyst. so, lis, what do you think we re going to see here? well, the department really is in kind of a pickle here because when president obama came out on monday and made this unprecedented remark, may i say, about it being unprecedented completely factually wrong. i mean, the courts have overturned congress acts 160 times and more since 1803. that s what they do. that s one of their primary functions. but hen the administration kind of backed then the administration kind of backed
