being held an searched, and that s good news for travelers, but they haven t found what they re looking for, if in fact there is anything on this plane. they re going to find it, they tell me. all passengers and bags are off and being searched and a new bomb squad has been brought in. so you ve got a lot people working on this, along with dogs, inspecting that plane, sweeping it. it held about 46 passengers, that delta number 4654 out of helena, montana, a skywest air, as you said, jon, operated by skywest. i ll stay on this, stay in contact with the officers and police in that area to see if anything comes of that search. jon: harris, thanks. jenna: let s take a deep sigh of leaf for a feel good story of the day, this is rob and ken therbgs rode their bikes across the country from jacksonville, florida to san diego, more than 3000 miles, and all to raise money for the cia officers memorial foundation. they decided to make this journey after the homicide
i agree with you. nevada is a case, sharron angle a lot of people thought when she won the nomination against two better-established republican nominees thought that this could be a race that was going to be a safe republican pick-up, that now harry reid might be able to win. as you can see, he s trailing by almost two points, again within the margin of error. she s made a couple of mistakes, but she s hung tough, and at this point i think she s a slight favorite. jon: larry sabato from the university of virginia came out with his crystal ball predictions as he calls them, he s calling for a 55-seat republican pick-up in the house, eight seats in the senate and eight to nine for republican governors. we haven t focused as much on the gubernatorial races, but that becomes a really big deal in a redistricting year, doesn t it? is. it does. i want to go, first of all, to
we got this intelligence assessment done by the ynpd department and it says specifically the d.c. plot is an example of the shift in strategy to smaller attacks on smaller target that is we ve been discussing on fox news channel for the better part of a year. this morning one analyst said the plot was extremely significant. the interesting aspect of this case is the selection of softer targets now. we ve always seen new york as the major target, right? we ve seen the sears tower, hit the washington metro, washington hotels, never been targeted before. reporter: one of the things i ve been told to watch out for in the next 24 hours is whether there are more arrests, more pickups, associated with this plot, but so far i haven t been able to confirm that but i m looking into it. jon: catherine herridge, thank you. you re welcome. jenna: a busy morning so far. right now we have business news as well. a sharp drop in the weekly jobless numbers. the government saying unemployment claim
child in the marine corps now. why not raise money for the marine corps in this ride? i m not casting aspersians on the cia but what made you go for the cia rather than the marine corps? well, jon, just to save you a lot of e-mails, we re former marines. there s no such thing as an ex-marine. jon: i got that! well, we decided we were thinking about doing it for the wounded warrior fund in december but when this horrible loss of life in khost last year for the agency, we decided that no one does this for the cia, we are a very quiet society, we take care of our own, but we re not a big population, so we know the marine corps is well taken care of and we support the marines wherever we can. as you said we have a son that s a marine sergeant and another son in the marine officer program, in the rotc program. marine corps is a great part of our life, we would like to bring attention to another great part of our
really going to take to get people back to work. reporter: and one really interesting factor here, rossi has sort of kept the tea party movement which is fractured here in washington state, at arm s length. he s not embracing the feeling that he s got to run as a moderate republican. jenna: dan springer, thank you so much. jon: coming up, some more information about that terror plot targeting d.c.-area metro stations. feds say the suspect a naturalized citizen from pakistan, wanted to kill as many americans as possible. how? you ask. i have a way. it s deliciously clever. and they ll be none the wiser. new prego veggie smart sauce gives them 50% of their daily recommended amount of veggies.
