then, this real estate developer holds mold nakashima, so what can compel his family to sell all of them? don't miss a special presentation of "strange inheritance" tomorrow starting at 10 on fox business network. ♪ ♪ kennedy: good evening, and now that you've been strangely inherited, welcome the show. now, i am watching tonight the administration dig itself into a deeper here over the bowe bergdahl prisoner swap, and now that he's been formally charged with desertion and misbehaving before the enemy, it would be a great time for anyone in the administration to clarify national security adviser susan rice's claims about bergdahl's hunky dory service when she said this: >> he's going to be safely reunited with his family. he served the united states with ohioan and distinction. >> considering six men reportedly lost their lives in afghanistan looking for berg
10:01 pm
call, a clarification here. god forbid, an apology might be be in order for that misassessment. but, no, state department spokesgal jen psaki made no such clarification last night. >> was it worth it? absolutely. we have a commitment to our men and women serving overseas -- serving in our military defending our national security every day that we're going to do everything to bring them home if we can, and that's what we did in this case. kennedy: was it worth it? oh, hell no. when a guy e-mails his parents and tells them he's disillusioned with the army, when he leaves a note, his weapons and his body armor behind renouncing his citizenship, when his own platoon emphatically accuses him of deadly desertion, how on earth can you make a claim it was all worth it? it's an insult to the young men who lost their lives trying to rescue bergdahl. and these were all known facts before a swap was ever fancied. so just as the deadly v.a.
10:02 pm
scandal was beginning to eclipse the news cycle, magically honorable and distinguished bergdahl emerged from the taliban's talons, and his parents, bob and janie, sent the v.a. scandal right off the front page. but not before bowe's dad with his freaky beard started spouting pleasantries in arabic. >> i'd like to say to bowe right now who's having trouble speaking english -- [speaking in native tongue] i'm your father, bowe. kennedy: bob, let me put this to you bluntly in english: you're a weirdo. your son's a weirdo and a traitor. he has blood iz on his hands, and you have blood in your stupid beard. you told your kid who had enlisted knowingly in the army to obey his conscience, according to an e-mail published in "rolling stone." your son took the cowardly way out and his tales of torture, sure, they're unsettling, but that's what happens when you
10:03 pm
waltz away from your post because you've had your fill of your army phase. and saying it was worth it just goes to show you the lies of these men -- lives of these men were not nearly as important as the lives of these men. it just illustrates the priorities of the administration. now, my sources in the army say they believe bergdahl was properly charged and by not taking his firearm, he narrowly avoided a treason charge, and they cannot prove he knowingly and maliciously intended to have his platoon mates die as they were looking for him. but they did. and that fact should affect the outcome in a just world. now, i hope he's convicted. dishonorably discharged and has his pay taken away. it will not bring back those lost lives and all the potential and opportunity that goes with them. but at least it will provide some measure of justice for families who until now have been thwarted by an administration that's more interested in legacy than the truth. well, tonight on the show the

10:05 pm
i think bergdahl was irresponsible, i they when he did was unconscionable. the more we learn about the circumstances of him walking away, the more disgusted people are, and i think a lot of people are happy he has been charged by an army that was almost bullied into submission by the administration. they stood up, they made the charge cans. what do you think's going to happen now in. >> i think he will be charged. whether he will serve any longer in prison, who knows? but i do think that what you said was really important where you singled out here's bergdahl and here's what the administration did. bergdahl, okay, he's a crazy guy, he's a nutjob, he's a deserter. but i look at the administration and say what did you guys do? you knew that, you knew he was a deserter. you knew he wasn't a p.o.w., and yet you traded him for those five senior kingpins of the taliban. why did they do that? why did the administration do that? they wanted to empty out gitmo. and if they have any excuse to get rid of gitmo prisoners, let them out. this story isn't finished because it's not just the six men that you showed, the men who
10:06 pm
lost their lives trying to rescue bergdahl, it's all the ones who are going to die now when those taliban five go back into the fight. we still have 10,000 americans that are going to be in afghanistan for another year or two. you know what those guys are going to do for the taliban? they're going to go after our americans. kennedy: absolutely. >> we haven't seen the end of the killing yet. kennedy: no, and that's exactly what i was thinking. bowe bergdahl for these five guys. how much damage can they do when they get back into leadership positions in places like afghanistan? you know, look what's happening in yemen and the uncertainty in the middle east. it makes it ripe for these kinds of conditions where, hey, they need leaders like that. >> these guys are going to go back and be rock stars in the taliban. they were great men, they were great terrorists, and they were in gitmo, and hay survived twit mow -- they survived gitmo, and they outstarted everybody. they are the propaganda value alone of those taliban that we've released from gitmo is significant. but the fact that they're now going to go back, you know, with a fire in their belly and go
10:07 pm
after americans, i this think, is double -- kennedy: it also puts, i think, a bigger bounty on the heads of american servicemen and women who are over there because now they see, oh, we can actually get something for this. we can be smarter than isis, and instead of beheading everybody, we'll to torture them for a whie and trade them when we think we can get the most value. >> well, and caw la mueller, the young american girl, aid worker, once bergdahl was traded for those five taliban, the ability to get their daughter back became very difficult because the bad guys, al-qaeda, knew, ooh, we'll just keep 'em, trade 'em, they're like currency. kennedy: yeah. they knew, absolutely, that her position had been compromised. well, let's move on to yemen. yemen's president fled his country yesterday for saudi arabia as shiite rebels battled his forces on the outskirts of the port city that he's been hiding in. is this connected to our nuclear negotiations with iran? so i don't think that the united states should be in the middle of a secular war between shia
10:08 pm
and sunni. it's a bad idea for us, you know? we don't have clear allegiances on any side. and, you know, who knows if we're aligned with the saudis, they really haven't been that great to us. iran, supposedly we're making in this nuclear deal, but if we're arming whoever in yemen to fight the iranian-backed rebels, what is that going to do to the nuclear talks? >> it's so confusing, isn't it? this is the middle at least. there are never two sides to everything, there are ten sides, and sides keep changing. what's happening in yemen is a multi-party civil war, but right, it's really shiites versus sunnis, it's iranian-backed huti, persians versus the sunnis who are arabs. they're been fighting for thousands of years, they're going to fight til the end of days. we don't wrong in that civil war, and -- we don't belong in that civil war. and the worry i have about yemen is that fighting spreads over into saudi arabia, and why is that important? because if this war, if this shiite/sunni, ethnosectarian
10:09 pm
tribal war goes throughout the entire middle east, that endangers the world oil supply and puts a real question mark on the world economy. kennedy: of course it does, not to mention our economy if we get involved in every country where there's flare-up, sectarian violation, isis, aqap. i mean, so many factors over will that we can't win for losing. it doesn't matter where we go first, there are ten places we'll have to go last. we'll never have the manpower. there are way too many casualties to be had and made, and it's just all the more reason that the united states should be encouraging our allies over there to fight the war. >> now, the good news here in yemen is that they are. kennedy: yeah. >> the egyptians just announced a couple of hours ago that they're going to join the fight on the side of the saudis, is so finally -- we've been waiting, when are the moderate muslims going to step up and do the fighting, they are now doing that. iran is about to be a nuclear weapon state. it's not what the administration says, oh, they're going to stop their nuclear program, it's not
10:10 pm
what the iranians say, it's all the other countries in the region look at it -- kennedy: no, if if they get a nuke before january 2017, the president is going to -- >> sure, despite the bergdahl swipe. kennedy: it's like obamacare, like everything else. they keep -- they go back, and they double down on what they've said in the first place. it doesn't make it right. kt mcfarland, thank you so much for stopping by, appreciate it. coming up, new evidence from the downed germanwings plane and the case the copilot intentionally crashed the plane. what can they do with the cockpit doors and the law of unintended consequences later on? i'm going to argue with a person you've seen before about when helicopter parents crash their ki when they go too far. that's coming up, stay right here. ♪ ♪
10:13 pm
♪ ♪ kennedy: hello, and welcome back. new evidence taken from one of the black boxes of that fateful germanwings plane indicates that the pilot was locked out. he was using the bathroom, he was unable to get back into the cockpit. his copilot intentionally locked it from the inside, destroyed the plane and killed all the passengers onboard, it looks like intentionally, which is horrible. arthur rosenberg joins me, aviation attorney, a commercial pilot and an engineer. he's very knowledgeable about this world, and that's why i brought you here, because i have so many questions. i mean, this is -- it's always
10:14 pm
scary when a plane goes down because we take our safety for granted in the skies because, you know, it seems like statistics bear out it's a much safer way to travel. but since 9/11 everyone's been on edge, and whenever one of these things goes down, it lowers our confidence in that mode of transportation. what do you think happened here? what do you think about this guy's motive, bringing the plane down? >> so everybody wants to know why. kennedy: yes. >> why did he do it? here's the bottom line, the why question doesn't matter. the question that needs to be answered and is answered is that human beings do this, and even before 9/11, 1997, '99 -- kennedy: yeah. >> silk air, egypt air, leaving one person alone in a cockpit ferments trouble. you are creating an environment for a problem. now, when 9/11 came around and the faa mandated the reinforced cockpit door, what happened was,
10:15 pm
yes, it protects people from the terrorists and bad guys from getting in, a la the model of 9/11. kennedy: yeah. but what happens when you've got a psychopath locked in there? >> well, united states had an answer for that, and the europeans did not. our answer was no pilot will be left alone in the cockpit. so what does that mean? a long flight, captain of this flight, it was an hour, get up, go to the bathroom, copilot left alone. in america, in the united states a flight attendant would have gone into the cockpit -- kennedy:. >> -- and kept the copilot company. human beings police each other. it's a deterrent element. so now you have the reinforced door, and you have two people in the -- kennedy: reinforced cockpit. okay. but let me ask you this, the united states made a bunch of recommendations after 9/11, and the international community followed suit with those cockpit doors. why didn't they do the same with the protocols of having someone else in the cockpit?
10:16 pm
>> is so here's the thing, when the united states -- ken ken and how can they mandate that internationally? >> through icea. it's kind of a clearinghouse on a worldwide basis. so international flights, they don't all do it, but most of the international flights do follow the two-crewperson rule. we're talking about an intra-european flight, a regional carrier. here it was spain to germany, barcelona to dusseldorf. what we do here doesn't matter. kennedy: yeah. >> manufacturers all gave them the reenforced cockpit door -- kennedy: there are only so many airline manufacturers in the world. >> airbus and boeing, so it's not a big deal. but for whatever reason -- and it made no sense to me x i've been doing this a very long time, aviation -- put two people in the cockpit. why would you leave one person
10:17 pm
alone? the why he did it, who the hell cares? kennedy: i care about the why he did it. i care about the motivation. was it religious? was this guy a wingnut? does there need to be more rigorous psychological testing given to pilots? >> why don't we talk about that. kennedy: we've got 45 seconds. >> psychological testing for the most part is not done for airline pilots. when you get the job, you do an interview just like now, they look you in the eye, they ask you a few questions, do you ever beat your wife, drug problems, that's the last time they're ever going to ask it. every year if you're an older pilot, twice a year a younger pilot once a year, you go to your friendly doctor who's got airman authority to approve you, you get your physical, you're done. nobody asks the questions, are you on drugs, are you on alcohol, are you beating your wife? ken ken well, there's another layer, they're going to check his communication, his social
10:18 pm
media, they're going to check his texts, they're going to talk to his girlfriend, and i'm one of those people, i want to know what this guy's motivation is so we can stop it from having again. thank you so much for being here, appreciate it. >> pleasure. kennedy: hopefully we'll speak under happier circumstances next time, but i love the insight. later on, a pro-hillary group has a list of words that you are not allowed to use to describe hillary. is fussbudget on there? i've already said it once, i'll say it again. otherwise you might be a sexist the if you use one of these banned words. but first i'm going to rumble with someone about oreos and helicopter parenting. it should be delicious. but it's nauseating. stay right here. friday night, buddy.

kennedy: a school in pennsylvania, students are being sent home with permission slips. yeah, you know, you're a parent, you get permission slips to go on field trips and do neat, exciting things, but here they have to sign a permission slip in order to eat an oreo. yep, an oreo cookie. the american treat. the same slip informs students they are not required to eat the oreo. and it also includes the oreo's ingredients on the back. oh, my god. am i crazy to think nanny statism in schools and helicopter parenting outside of the schools has gotten totally out of hand? well, some people think so. they're nuts. this is, you're crazy, kennedy. joining me tonight a man who is laser focused on the issues that i often disagree with. it's steve laser, radio host of making sense with steve laser.
10:23 pm
now, do you have kids? >> i do, kennedy. ken ken you do. you have the children. you've signed these permission slips. >> i have signed many in my day, and i'll tell you, a number of years back b what this teacher did might be crazy, but now we have such an exploding problem with obesity and diabetes in this country, kids -- you know, parents are trying to get a hold on their kids' health -- kennedy: yeah, they are. >> trying to keep their weight down, and i think in light of that -- kennedy: it's not reasonable at all. steve, actually, they're just eating one oreo. that's it. it's not a sleeve of oreos like i said pretty much every time my mom went to the grocery store and would bring home -- >> yeah, like crack. kennedy: i'd eat as many as i could fit in my mouth. >> yes. kennedy: it's, actually, the kids are just eating one oreo, and the permission slip says they will be using a double-stuf to simulate three types of plate boundaries. they may not -- they may eat the

oreo after the investigation, but they do not have to, and then it says my child has permission to eat the oreo. without a signed permission slip my child understands he/she -- that's race risk right there -- will not be able to sample the oreo. steve, follow me down this rabbit hole of personal responsibility. i'm pretty sure, i'm not certain because i'm not a doctor, but i'm pretty sure that one oreo is not going to cause childhood obesity or diabetes. >> i think you're right. kennedy: correct me if i'm wrong with that. >> no, you're completely right, but i'll tell you as a concerned parent, and by the way, every parent is going to let their kid eat the oreo because no good parent's going to want their kid to be -- kennedy: no, but thank god one parent took a picture and put it on social media to show the ridiculousness. >> the regular foods kids eat these days have more sugar than the world health organization recommends they eat for their health.
10:25 pm
so a parent can use this and say, look, the kid's going to get an oreo at school -- kennedy: oh, no! get the insulin. >> no, so -- kennedy: they're gonna die! all because of obama! >> if i was going to give him a dessert after this, either i wouldn't or give him a smaller portion. kennedy: oh, that is just wonderful parenting. sometimes kids have two deseriouses -- desserts in a day. if a child has diabetes, food allergies, let me tell you some of the people who are best prepared to deal with those things, kids themselves. by the time they realize they have a deadly food allergy, they've all got epi pens and their teachers do. kids are so good about this. but needing a permission slip every time a child eats an oreo, i just want to say to my child's teachers i love you, because when my daughter had a birthday just a few weeks ago, you let me bring in doughnuts for the entire class. and do you know who was happy? everyone. >> i do disagree with you about
10:26 pm
the fact that the kids know best about how to take care of things. kennedy: the ones with food allergies do. >> like you will eat the whole sleeve of oreos. kennedy: right. and now i weigh 1600 pounds, steve laser. 1600. my bmi is 57. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: you know i adore you, and your hazel eyes. coming up, a restaurant that fought back against a lying yelper, and tom brady triumphantly emerges from the sand. blah, blah, blah. stay right here, please. thank you. aring at that for awhile, huh? listen, td ameritrade has former floor traders to help walk you through that complex trade. so you'll be confident enough to do what you want. i'll pull up their number. blammo. let's get those guys on the horn. oooo looks like it is time to upgrade your phone, douglass. for all the confidence you need.

he was humorless, obviously, and now maybe he's going to come back. he just needed to get knocked around a little bit. he's fighting evander holyfield. kennedy: i'm part of a religion where you're not allowed to pronounce his name. it's a harry potter thing. i can't get into it, it's like skull and bones. [laughter] no, i want obama to be less himself and do less talk show, and i want uptight conservatives like romney to do more. >> well, romney is not in the white house. he's the kind of person i want to see on late night because he has the time, and he's promoting a charity i'm all for. that said, i thought the writers were great, jimmy fallon was great with great writers and great talent, you can make anyone have a personality, you know? kennedy: maybe those are the type of people that should be in charge of presidential campaigns, hollywood writers. >> are you guys speaking in code? are you criticizing each other? [laughter] kennedy: here's the most important question though, when mitt romney fights evander
10:45 pm
holyfield, will he be shirt he is? >> to not wear a shirt, you see this in indoor water parks all the time, male vanity, yet if you're about to run for president, even if he has a brad pitt body, that's weird. because you're spending -- and if he has bad protrusions -- kennedy: he might have a lot of white chest hair. >> that's livable. kennedy: can't you shave that? >> alsoing with an old man getting punched around, those celebrity things -- kennedy: like ron -- >> and guy from gary coleman and all those dudes. it was todd bridges. >> well, he's still alive. that's great. >> look, i want romney out there, so i'm going to have to bite the bullet and say get your shirt off, you can do it, mitt. kennedy: and, joanne, is there a secret fetish? >> oh, i want to say that to you too. >> when the hair is on the back as opposed to the front -- ken south carolina you like bears. [laughter]
10:46 pm
lady and gentleman, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. kennedy: coming up, our panel is going to be back in the studio. change of plans, going to be better than ever. weaver going to talk about the germanwings plane and the copilot that allegedly brought it down. we want to figure out this guy's motivation, but it's also national make your own holiday day, and i think i've got a really good idea for you on how to make this one super special. please stay tuned to find out exactly what we're celebrating. ♪
10:47 pm
the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.
10:49 pm
♪ ♪ kennedy: we told you a little earlier on the show about the new developments involving the germanwings plane that crashed into the french alps this week. evidence they have found so far indicates the copilot intentionally brought the plane down. you might have heard about that. now, we need to figure out --
10:50 pm
because we couldn't with our earlier guest because he's an iowauation guest, a pilot, an attorney finish but we are a bunch of civilian hacks, and we can speculate until the end of the earth. our panel is back, joanne and gavin. so let's talk about this guy's motivation, because that has been troubling me all day long. you know, as a libertarian i think, well, maybe the airline industry is overregulating. maybe we overregulate all of these air carriers and so the cockpit doors are now so reinforced that you can't get in when a crazy person is flying the plane. but what happens when the crazy person gets past all the stop guards and safe measures and becomes a pilot? >> well, it kind of -- it ends up being an unfortunate argument against gun control. i mean, the tsayou ever follow them on instagram, which i highly recommend, they show all the knives that have been confiscated -- ken i can't think oh, i've got three of those. >> that wasn't a terrorist, that was a guy who could have helped
10:51 pm
us if there was an issue. i want everyone to be able to run back and forth and tackle people and get pilots. i think this is a great metaphor for what happens when you try to protect people from crime, when you try to say there's no guns allowed, only bad guys have guns. when you set up an impenetrable door, then the good guys can't get to the bad guy. kennedy: yeah. i mean, this is not an unthinkable scenario. this has happened in the past before 9/11 as our aviation expert pointed out before. but, you know, joanne, it's just so weird, and that's what's so unsettling about this. it appears to be a black swan event. when we see sandy i you can hook, someone -- sandy hook, when you see a guy who successfully kills 150 people. >> yeah. and, too, he's passed all of these tests, psychological tests, obviously, talent ones. not everyone can actually fly a plane. you hope that just the talent part will weed some of those people out. but that's, obviously, not the case. do i think this will happen much in the future? t not probable.
10:52 pm
it's not probable. but nothing is unlikely. as you see here, no one anticipated this. so, yeah, since 9/11 we've built all these safeguards into flying to make sure things like won't happen, but it's like for each safeguard, you need another one, and then you need another one. >> yeah. kennedy: that's exactly it. you make the point, the law of unintended consequences because you do one thing, and then you have to do 15 other things when the consequences bear themselves out. >> well, you go back to the those shootings, and they were all in gun-free zones. even the batman shooting was at a theater that guaranteed there would be less guns than anywhere else. so that's where bad things tend to happen. who knows? maybe if this door didn't lock so well, this guy wouldn't have had the guts to take the plane down or would have had second thoughts. obviously, he's insane, but there's this myth that lunatics can't be discouraged from things. kennedy: yeah. >> capital punishment reduces crime, you're still discouraging lunatics. >> i'm just wondering when two pilots get on a plane now, are
10:53 pm
they just eyeballing each other? ken i can't think think about that. if you're on one of lower priced airlines, because we don't have that in this country. even if you go across country, it's going to cost you $500. over there if you go from barcelona todusseldorf or paris, it's $120. obviously, they're not paying their pilots as much. but those pilots when they get into a plane and they don't know each other, they've got to be eyeballing one another. >> whenever i get on a plane, i always hope they're friendly, or they do things in the back and i'm always thinking, you know, they have families to get home to, so they want to make sure this flight goes well, and now they are even worrying like i am, i could imagine in the future. kennedy: yeah. >> i don't know that we can -- i don't know how you remedy that really. >> but here's the million dollar question: what is worse, an incredibly perfectly-regulated airport where we all go through screenings and every passenger has a test and every pilot has safeguards, or complete anarchy
10:54 pm
where anyone can bring whatever they want on the plane? it's outrageous, and it's going to sound counterintuitive, but i'm arguing that no-rules flying would be safer than heavy rule flying. kennedy: i don't think it's a bad thing to ponder. this is what i've been thinking about all day long, maybe we've got too many regulations. to be continued. thank you so much. coming up next, it's national make up your own holiday day, so we're going to make the very best of it. i've got the best holiday you will come across in the entire month of march, it's even better than st. patrick's day. it is legal for those of you over 21, so hopefully you'll stay with me. now, as you know, we were supposed to have a director on for this movie, but i'm not going to lie to you, a girl like her director, she didn't show up. we still think the movie's supposed to be really good, so hopefully you will take time to make that part of your own personal legal holiday, but please stay with me. the conversation continues, and by conversation, i mean a total
10:58 pm
kennedy: ding, ding, indeed. tonight's nightcap is all about an end-of-week celebration. today is national make up your own holiday day which is, frankly, quite obtuse and lazy, so i figured since i'm still not drinking because of lent, you can go ahead and drink for me as we celebrate together, and i've decided to make it national chocolate martini day. and here's the thing about chocolate mar tipnies, let's be honest, anything called a martini is instantly chic. now, i like to enjoy these by the pool, at an august barbecue or in the winter at a family gathering or even in the shower, they're that versatile. so what do you need to make the perfect chocolate martini? you need two occupancies of
10:59 pm
godiva liqueur, an ounce of kahlua, two ounces hofstra nil la vodka and about an ounce and a half or an ounce, rather, of half and half. but if you're watching your booty line, then go ahead, 2% milk is fine, 1%, who cares? whatwho are we kidding? you just need the creaminess. dip it in either raw sugar or chocolate syrup or hot chocolate mix. you put all the liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice, and then you strain it into the chilled martini glass. it is like chocolate milk infused with bad decisions and a certain hangover. you will love it! and, of course, if you are a mixologist ask have your -- and have your own recipe, id love it. have one more me since i'm all dried out til easter. happy chocolate martini day, and i have to say i'm starting to like these made-up holidays.
11:00 pm
e-mail, kennedy fbn, and when i toast you, it's always in chocolate. good night. sandisk. filling in for stewart tomorrow morning at 1 11 o'clock. lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. french authorities say the copilot of the germanwings flight that crashed into the alps acted deliberately to destroy the aircraft and all 150 pim 150 people aboard. he was 28-year-old. andreas lubitz. he locked the chief pilot out of the cockpit. he sent the airbus guidance system on the descent path that ultimately drove it into the mountain killing everyone aboard. at this point there is no sign of any kind that he was acting as a terrorist. his motivation seems to be clearly psychological. his friends
