3:00 am
tapioci! captain. >> airline captain. >> there's always a theme here so if you watch the show, we give clues based on the segments we do. that's the key. >> we'll be back tomorrow. have a great day. "fox & friends" starts now. take care. >> i was really bad at that one, wasn't i? good morning, everyone. it's wednesday, it's march 28th, tomorrow will be a new day. i'm gretchen carlson. and this is your captain freaking out. jet blue pilot kicked out of the cockpit. taken down by the passengers. >> he came running down the aisle and he was screaming, afghanistan, there's a bomb! they're going to -- >> so, what the heck went wrong with the captain during his mid-air rage? the very latest straight ahead. >> and is it doomsday for president obama's health care law? the supreme court justices giving obamacare a supreme grilling.
3:01 am
>> they're not stupid. they're going to buy insurance later. they're young and need the money now! >> we have a live report from washington coming up. speaking of washington, good morning, brian. >> thanks for not saying speaking of stupid. newt gingrich ready to race to the convention by firing nearly half of his staff overnight. don't think doocy wasn't thinking about it. why the former speaker says the layoffs will lead him all the way to tampa. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> good morning, everyone. look, it's a split show! what the heck is going on, brian? you're down in d.c. good morning. >> yeah, down in washington, d.c. i'll tell you about that in a little while but last night, i could not believe the stories that were coming across. i said here we go again. now it's flight 191. and thankfully, it was a good ending. it could have been ugly.
3:02 am
>> yeah, apparently, some -- about two hours into the flight that left yesterday morning from j.f.k. bound for las vegas, about two hours into the flight, somewhere over the midlands, something went haywire with the particular captain by the name of clayton osmond and the co-pilot said maybe you ought to go to the bathroom for a little minute or two. when the captain left the co-pilot in the cockpit, the co-pilot locked the door because he felt something was haywire with the captain as seen from his twitter pictures. >> so the captain locked out and changed the code on the door. you know, you can't get in. they're locked now after 9/11. so the captain apparently foaming at the mouth. can you imagine being a passenger on this plane? in fact i've taken this flight many, many, many times. can you imagine being there in person with a company tin who telling you there's a bomb on the plane and the plane is going down and that you should start praying right now.
3:03 am
luckily, brian, i think passengers so much more atuned of something happening on planes since 9/11 and a lot of them did take charge and luckily there was another captain who was a passenger on the flight that got into the cockpit to help the co-pilot land the plane. >> yeah, let's listen. >> i mean, a lot of people were just alarmed of what's going on, i mean, anything that transpires on an airplane nowadays, everyone is real touchy. but it's a security event in las vegas this week so there was a lot of those guys on the plane. there was a retired police officer on the plane who really took charge. you know, first kind of put his hands on the restraining the pilot and we just kind of assisted him. when he said it's time to bring this guy to the ground. >> you know what happened -- >> meanwhile, it turns out the guy, the pilot a really strong guy and broke out of those plastic cuffs and there were six or seven guys who immediately acted and wrestled him to the ground which wasn't easy. he was screaming things about israel, about iraq, and came out
3:04 am
and said, well, this -- say your prayers, we're all going down! >> you would think that -->> of all the people that feel threatened by it, i never thought it would be a pilot and i'd love to see a blood test on this guy. >> interesting thing is you would think maybe he had served in some of those countries. that's what he was talking about. it turns out he wanted to serve in the navy but his eyesight was not good enough to become a pilot. other thing -- the big question that comes to my mind this morning, guys, is how -- why do we not have more restraints on airplanes after 9/11? >> they have the zip cuff. >> they have the plastic handcuffs and this is one guy going berserk. i mean, after 9/11, how many people did we have -- how many terrorists did we have on one flight? this makes me a little nervous that yeah, we locked the cockpit and yes, we're talking about arming pilots but what about people outside of the cockpit? >> the thing is, you know, there's an extensive screening procedure and, of course, the door is supposed to be impenetrable and as we found out yesterday after the co-pilot
3:05 am
locked the pilot out and the co-pilot changed the security code and then the co-pilot also turned off the intercom because the captain grabbed the intercom and wanted to freak out the entire plane, they -- you know, the -- whoever the co-pilot is deserves to be made employee of the year at jet blue. but this guy thankfully if you're going to go crazy on a flight, this was a good flight, brian, because on board we just heard the passenger detail, all those guys jumping on him. you had those burly guys, bound for a security conference at the sands hotel in las vegas. if there is going to be a planeful of passengers who will jump up and jump on somebody, it's that planeful. >> we have somebody in the fourth row of that flight will be calling in and we'll have some more passenger first-hand eyewitness stories at 8:00 so we'll be covering this story but that's not all we're doing! >> that's right. just another huge day today. obamacare's last stand round
3:06 am
three. let's go live to the supreme court right now, steve centanni standing by live. good morning to you, sir. >> well, good morning. today, the third and final day of these dramatic hearings before the u.s. supreme court on the health care law. today, we're going to hear two issues. severability. if the individual mandate gets shot down, does the whole law still survive and number two, can you dramatically expand medicaid? so yesterday was the main event where you heard that individual mandated being argued. we had the solicitor general trying very, very hard to make a case that the health care market is like no other market and that's why everybody ought to be required to participate. justice ginsburg saying yeah, if some people don't buy insurance, the rest of us pay for it. but he was -- shot down at every turn by justices of especially the conservative justices, of course, who had serious questions about his stand. let's listen to some of those.
3:07 am
>> they're not stupid. they're going to buy insurance later. they're young and need the money now. >> here the government is saying that the federal government has a duty to tell the individual citizen that it must act and that is different from what we have in previous cases and that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way. >> there you had justice kennedy seeming very skeptical and that could be very important because liberals are hoping they can peel him away from the conservative block and win at least a 5-4 majority win but now that's questionable. we don't know, of course, what the ultimate result will be but kennedy also said at one point, can you create commerce in order to regulate it? and justice scalia saying can you make everybody buy? where do you draw the line if you can force people to buy things? if the government can force people to buy things they might
3:08 am
not otherwise want. >> like what things? that's the big question. thank you very much. live outside the chilly supreme court. >> and other examples that were used by the justices during the discussion yesterday, two-hour discussion, what else could you be forced to buy? to pick up on what steve centanni was saying. could you be forced to buy cell phones? scalia even said at one point, could i be forced to eat broccoli? maybe he's not a broccoli fan like george bush wasn't. what about burial services? i mean, you could argue that this list could go on and on and on. it's central to this whole argument. let's listen to the justices. >> the same, it seems to me, would be true, say, for the market in emergency services. police, fire, ambulance, roadside assistance, whatever. you don't know when you're going to need it. you're not sure that you will. so can the government require you to buy a cell phone because that would facilitate responding when you need emergency services? >> suppose you and i walked around downtown washington at lunch hour and we found a couple
3:09 am
of healthy young people and we stopped them and we said you know what you're doing? you're financing your burial services right now because eventually you're going to do and somebody is going to have to pay for it and if you don't have burial insurance and haven't saved money for it, you'll shift the costs to somebody else. >> brian? >> yeah, i'll tell you, there's a few things that stood out. number one, how direct and how well schooled everyone is as usual. a lot of the conservative judges sounding off but what kennedy said and what chief justice roberts said, i think, is the most interesting. they seem to be really struggling with the verdict but also seeming to side more with making this thing unconstitutional. and i talked to attorney generals alan wilson and pam bondi. alan wilson of south carolina and pam of florida. they say the one who argued for the justice department opened up extremely nervous and so far the
3:10 am
attorney general is extremely confident from what they saw from the mandate and that leads to a lot of tension today, what if they get rid of the mandate, what about severability? is there a place for this law at all? can it exist? because prices go -- prices go through the roof. >> it's interesting, though, because pundits are going to really talk about this now until the ruling comes down at the end of june and justice kennedy said something later on that had some people thinking maybe not so fast where he said maybe health care. is there a uniqueness about health care? some people then pointing to the fact that maybe he would, speaking of severability, sever out health care as being unique and allow the mandate. i mean, it's interesting -- i don't think any of us know exactly where he might go and justice roberts, as you mentioned. >> brian, you're absolutely right. vorelli had a bad day. jeffrey tubin who does commentary for another network came out and said he was a train wreck. so the government had a bad case in defending the individual mandate yesterday. >> sit tight, brian, in d.c.
3:11 am
we got to do some headlines in new york. latest on the trayvon martin case. leader from the black panther party that offered $10,000 to capture george zimmerman under arrest. police arrested him on unrelated weapons charges in george -- georgia. it came the same day as trayvon's parents spoke on capitol hill. >> my heart is broken. it breaks even more to know we have not gotten justice yet and this man has not been arrested for shooting and killing my son. >> george zimmerman insists that he shot martin in self-defense. he has not been charged. a major campaign shakeup for newt gingrich, the former speaker of the house laying off a third of his staff now and replacing his campaign manager. gingrich is also reducing his schedule. his new strategy, he says, for the g.o.p. nomination is to try to prevent mitt romney from getting enough delegates to lock
3:12 am
up the nomination. gingrich says he'll focus on campaigning through social media and personally call delegates to try to get their support at the republican national convention in august. gingrich is currently running a distant third behind romney and rick santorum. friday's mega millions jackpot is going to be a record breaker, folks! it's a whopping $476 million. no one won last night's drawing which was $363 million. 47 players did come close getting 5 of the 6 numbers. can you imagine? the previous record for a jackpot was 390 milli$390 milli 2007. tickets only cost a buck and remember, you have to be in it to win it. those are your headlines. might have to buy myself a ticket. i rarely do that but when it gets that high, why not? >> brian, why are you in washington? >> at some point, you guys have to join me in washington but the armed forces foundation had their annual gala huge at the reagan building here in washington, d.c. across from the willard right by the white
3:13 am
house, 47,712 americans have been wounded in battle over the last 10 years. the question is what happens to them as the wars wind down? what happens to the families for those survivors, for those who lost their lives in battle? last night, you had a lot of dignitaries and a lot of people that care about the military come together, pay their money as part of a gala and yet darrell issa, congressman west among the dignitaries there. coming up a little bit later in the show, general ordeono will be joining us and you'll be hearing from the president of the armed forces foundation, just about the night last night. >> it looks like you had another good night and you did another great job, brian. >> well, we'll have to get a second source on that, steve. >> all right. we miss you today. great to have you in washington. it was the open mike moment heard around the world. president obama telling the russians he'll have more freedom to work with them after the election. will back room deals with russia put our national security in jeopardy? we'll talk about that. >> coming up, don't mess with this guy.

>> welcome back, everyone. it was the secret heard around the world. president obama open to a deal with the russians on missile defense but only after he gets re-elected. take a listen to this private conversation. >> so what are the dangers of dealing with the russians? the executive director of vets for freedom joins us live today.
3:18 am
>> good morning to you. thanks for having me. >> the president said look it's not a matter of hiding the ball until a second term. there's some that are concerned if he does get a second term, he doesn't ever have to run for re-election again, he would be unchecked. >> yeah, i mean, this is a swa situation where you don't first of all want to think that what your president overseas is misrepresenting his position in order to hedge in a particular election, the particulars are frustrating because we've committed, the president in order to get ratification of this in the senate in the treaty made some promises to conservatives across the line saying we're not going to give on these missile defense systems we've committed to in europe. they're important. iran is seeking a nuclear weapon. we want to have assurances that we will continue down the line on what we've made in europe. obviously he's talking over there about a different path, what does flexibility mean? where do we maintain a commitment to that?
3:19 am
>> besides usurping congress and the american people if they might have a voice in this, too. what about taking more of a hard line with russia? they haven't exactly been with us in regard to china and other big issues across the world. >> they're not an enemy but not a democracy nor are they an ally at this point. i think mitt romney talked about a geopolitical foe yesterday and got in some hot water about that. their interests do not align with ours internationally. they're coming from a different perspective so this whole where will he be at the election, we'll be buddies, i don't know if he knows what that means. >> the scary thing is the fact that in 2001, then not president barack obama said missile defense shield, i really don't like that idea. if that's what he said 10, 11 years ago and now he's president and he would be re-elected, he would be unchecked, you never know. might cave completely. >> no, i think this is the -- you have the particulars of this case but then you have the
3:20 am
larger strategic fears among conservatives and others who say -- john mccain had a tweet yesterday saying is this president obama's etch-a-sketch moment. is this his opportunity, he's going to say one thing in the public through november and we'll see his true globalist perspective around the world of giving in on american commitments and that's a scary thing. >> we should mention that pete is running for senate in the state of minnesota, former vet. so we will be following that race for you. >> i appreciate it. thanks for having me today. >> good to see you. >> coming soon to a theater near you, tiger tails but this movie not for kids. three women from the tiger woods scandal teaming up for a tell all. >> stop those striking it rich small american towns discovering oil but the feds say hands off. isn't it up to the state? stu varney, he was steamed, doesn't he? >> did you request this music?
3:21 am
3:22 am
3:24 am
>> 24 minutes after the top of the hour. just as tiger woods is finding his golf groove again, three of his former mistresses are releasing an x rated movie about him. adult movie stars starring in the dirty documentary that conveniently comes out while tiger is playing in the masters. and democratic campaign treasurer in california accused of defrauding at least 50 candidates of $7 million was first arrested for male fraud in september. the alleged victims include senator dianne feinstein and several other members of congress. >> now, for more on the tiger
3:25 am
woods' movie, i'm just kidding, stuart. western states here in the united states seeing the economic boom in north dakota brought on by oil drilling are now pushing the federal government for control of millions of acres of their own land! >> so we're talking about utah, colorado, idaho, new mexico and montana, all have legislation in the works to claw back vast expanses potentially worth trillions in oil and stuart varney is here to comment on it. >> well, that's a good word. trillions. there are literally trillions of barrels of oil locked in shale underneath those three states. utah, colorado and wyoming in particular. there's also oil under the ground in idaho, and new mexico. now, the oil is there. we know it's there. we want it. we need it. it's very valuable and those western states, they say we're going to go and get it regardless of what president obama says. >> right. this kind of reminds me of what some of the border states have said. all right, if the federal government is going to protect our borders, we're going to
3:26 am
enforce the laws ourselves. whereas here you've got the western states saying, all right, if the federal government isn't going to tap that oil, we will. >> it's on federal land. the utah legislature just passed a law demanding the return of 20 million acres from the feds, give it back to utah. they want to be like north dakota where they're drilling like crazy. >> boom town. >> it's boom state in fact. >> it is in every form. i mean, it trickles down to car sales, to retail sales, to the unemployment level in north dakota being exceptionally low. but here's the thing and i'm remembering back over the last several years that this administration has made a big push to buy up federal land in the west. right? or to not buy it but say it has federal control of it. and it's because of the environmental policies that they believe in, correct? >> yes. the federal government has taken control of millions of acres in the western states for environmental purposes so it's
3:27 am
up to the feds, do they want to give it back to the states so the states can go ahead and drill on it? it's going to be a political football, obviously. >> sure. >> but the revolt is brewing here. we know we've got it. there's a ton of oil down there, can we go and get it? the pressure is on the president as gas prices rise continually. >> let me give you the news of the day. oil -- gas prices just spiked in the state of michigan. up $0.10 overnight. now, that's a spike. statewide average is $4.06 a gallon. that's michigan, home of detroit and home. s.u.v. >> why is it just michigan? >> it's a midwestern problem of refining of gasoline. midwest has a problem with gases prices. >> we don't have a lot of refineries and we haven't built a new one in 35 to 40 years. >> you know a lot of stuff. that's why people will be watching you at 9:20 a.m. on the fox business network. >> nicest thing you've said to me. thank you very much indeed.
3:28 am
>> thanks. coming up on the show, this is something that republicans didn't count on. will losing the supreme court battle actually help president obama get re-elected? former advisor to president bill clinton here next with his thoughts. >> korean war vet takes down a carjacker more than half his age. >> the left hand, i shut the car off twice and then i spot a knife and held on to it. >> all right. you got to meet this guy and you will when we come back. >> first, happy birthday to reba mcentire, the singer is 57 and looking fab.

you know where surgery is dirt cheap ? so verizon 4g lte is like, 6 times bigger, but i'm going at&t ! there are good ideas, and bad. with over 6 times the 4g lte coverage, verizon is the good idea. >> welcome back, everyone. if you're just waking up, brian is in washington, d.c. today. he'll be joining us moments away. big bizarre story. more details this morning about the jet blue pilot that went absolutely berserk mid flight. 49-year-old clayton osbond acting so erratically his own co-pilot had to lock him out of the cockpit. he was telling passengers to
3:33 am
"say their prayers." >> came running down the aisle and he was screaming "afghanistan, there's a bomb." i got to get in the cockpit and started banging on the cockpit door. >> he started yelling, it's going to go off or they're going to blow it up. i'm not sure what he was referring to. >> can you imagine? well, his meltdown happened about two hours into the flight from new york to las vegas. the situation so bad at least five passengers had to subdue him until the co-pilot could safely land the plane in amarillo, texas. so what about the pilot? lydia wekhigh is outside of the pilot's house in queens, new york. lydia? >> well, this is where he lived part time, a lot of pilots rent a room for, you know, down time while they're flying out. j.f.k. is about just less than a 5 minute drive away from here, a lot of pilots actually live over here in ozone park, queens, just
3:34 am
less than a 5 minute drive from j.f.k. and neighbors we spoke to say that he was a really great guy. a laid back guy. very quiet but he was anything but laid back less than 24 hours ago. ranting and raving, telling people to say their prayers, we are going down on that jet blue flight out of j.f.k. to las vegas. when we researched the 47-year-old captain clayton osbon, we saw a different picture. he's a veteran pilot logging more than 18,000 hours in the air and he's flown 35 different kinds of planes. he loved flying and did it in his free time. he's married and adores his grandson. he loved to play wii. what happened to this guy? what made him snap? we are learning that pilots have to go to medical examinations twice a year but they don't have to undergo mental evaluations and i've also found out something else that was kind of interesting. he was actually studying to be a motivational speaker but right now, he's in a texas hospital under observation. back to you guys in the studio.
3:35 am
>> never be a pilot again. that's for sure. thanks very much. >> we have some more headlines for you and an extreme weather alert. check out this video right here. there it is. crews taking to the air in a desperate attempt to stop a fast moving wildfire from spreading in colorado. hundreds of firefighters from a couple of states are trying to get it under control. right now, we know the blaze has left an elderly couple dead. and 900 houses have been evacuated. dozens of structures are also damaged or destroyed. the cause, investigators say, they believe a controlled burn a couple of days ago intended to minimize the risk of wildfires may have reignited. >> the lights are on at one world trade, workers just flipped the switch activating the massive new power system there. once everything is complete, it will power new york city's tallest skyscraper. the nearby transit hub, the 9/11 memorial and the museum there. >> meanwhile, a would be carjacker didn't stand a chance next to an 81-year-old korean war vet.
3:36 am
barney & constance trusowitz were stopped for gas in lincoln park, michigan when barney stepped inside to pay. recently released convict, fellow by the name of christopher bowens tried to steal their car with his wife still inside. barney realized what was happening, ran over and reached in, turned off the car, he saw bowens had a butcher knife on him and he grabbed the butcher knife and then barney wrestled with bowen until he eventually gave up. >> he said get out of the car i'm taking it! i said what? and then i looked and i saw all these tattoos and i said oh, crap! >> it was mine. and what is mine is mine. what is yours is yours. let's keep it that way. >> way to go, barney! bowen is back behind bars and now faces a possible lifetime sentence. don't mess with barney! >> i guess not. he was one tough guy. all right. let's bring in dick morris right now to get his take on the
3:37 am
health care situation before the supreme court. good morning to you, dick. >> good morning. health care is good in the u.s. but not one tough guy, you know. >> don't mess with you? >> i don't know. >> you know, it's hard to know how any of us would react in those situations. on health care, what do you make of the whole way in which the supreme court has been reacting after day two? >> well, it's certainly looked good for those who want to, like me, get the law overturned. kennedy and roberts are the two key votes and they both seem very hostile to the individual mandate. i read that there was some people that are trying to say that this will be good for obama if it's thrown out. that's the nuttiest thing i've ever heard even in washington. this will kill obama. it's the signature achievement of his administration. the two things the guy did was the stimulus package and obamacare. one didn't work and the other is illegal. right? that's really going to help him. >> so you talked about harry reid. let's just listen to what he
3:38 am
said in the spin that was happening yesterday. >> you folks read stuff more than i do. there's a significant school of thought that the administration is -- puts them in a better position for the election if it's turned down. now, i think it will be upheld but i don't know but you can read all that stuff now. i don't think -- again, i think he's -- i don't know. >> he doesn't know what. do you know? what do you think? >> well, i think that it's ridiculous. the country will realize that obama put this country through one year of discussion, debate, cost his own party control of congress. turned the country upside down. probably has already spent $300 or $400 billion extra for something that's illegal? i don't think that's going to help them. >> dick, we're exhausted. let's bring in brian kilmeade for a couple of questions.
3:39 am
>> steve and gretchen, get some rest. i'll take it from here. here's the question, if president obama -- if people look past what happened to the stimulus package and what could happen with the health care deal, what would his second term look like should he get another four years? do you have a sense of that? >> i'm glad this is a morning show. if it were late night show, my answer would give everybody nightmares. first on health care, he'll move to a single payer system, i think the supreme court decision that i expect will throw out this mandate but single payer, of course, is legal under the taxing authority. total socialized medicine. no insurance companies and no private plans and no nothing. he said in san francisco a couple of years ago that's his goal and i think it remains that. i think that he'll virtually stop the expansion of oil drilling. those western states you talked about that want to drill on federal land can forget about it. and i think fracking would be set back. the whole legacy of the bush 43
3:40 am
administration which is to put us on the route to energy independence will be derailed. i think the thing i'm worried about most is the globalization of the united states. he hinted at that in the conversation he had in russia that he'll have more space in his second term. what i think he's planning to do is to integrate the united states into the global system, into the u.n., and into the european union. for example, the international criminal court treaty. i write about this in my book coming up. it says it would be illegal and you can send a president to jail with going to war with veto. >> if in fact, the supreme court says this current health care is illegal, that doesn't mean that it's dead. >> well, no. they would simply hold that it is illegal to ask the american
3:41 am
-- to require the american people to buy a privately funded product. health insurance. but it obviously is legal to tax and if the federal government set up a socialized medicine system, that's legal. that we have to beat in congress. but i think that if obama is re-elected and he gets a democratic congress, the court decision will almost force him to move far to the left on health care. in fact, i think that it will be interesting to see how he handles that on the campaign trail. he'll have a hard time ducking that. and saying that he'll -- he'll -- he'll go back to the old system. >> interesting. >> all right, dick morris, we thank you very much for joining us today. i believe you are in florida and brian is in washington, d.c. >> a lot of different cities. thanks. look forward to the new book. >> i got the best of that deal. >> pretty nice city. they clean it up nice. straight ahead, kids, give up your facebook or you'll be expelled. yep, that's really happening at a high school and that's not
3:42 am
all. plus -- >> from army brats to star on fx's "justified" joelle carter plays a villainous on tv but her real life mission is to help sick kids. she'll sflan when she joins us on the curvy couch. there she is. how can you just stand there? what do you mean? your grass, man. it's famished! just two springtime feedings with scotts turf builder lawn food helps strengthen and protect your lawn from future problems. thanks scott.

4:02 am
who absolutely went berserk. this was the headline of "the new york post." this is your captain freaking. 49-year-old clayton osbon acting so erratically his own co-pilot had to lock him out of the cockpit. that's when he started running up and down the aisles screaming the plane "was going down." and telling passengers to "say their prayers." >> osbon's meltdown happened about two hours after the flight took off from new york and las vegas and the situation so bad at least five passengers had to subdue him until the co-pilot could safely land in amarillo, texas. >> it was on that flight and joins us right now on the phone, don, you texted me last night and you said you were in the fourth row when this happened. >> yeah, that's correct. i was in the fourth row. >> when did you see something was wrong? >> well, the first indication was the captain opened the cockpit door without any kind of security. normally they close off the front galley to prevent anyone
4:03 am
from going up before that door is opened. that's procedure, i think, since 9/11 so the cockpit door opened. the captain came out. he left the door open. he then tried to open the lavratory door. it was locked. there was a young lady in there. he then went and they have the ability to open that lock from the outside. he reached up inside and lifted the latch to open up the door exposing this poor woman who was in the lavratory. at that point, the flight attendant noticed that he was out of the cabin and kind of turned to him to see what was going on and he started indicating that there was something on his face. there's something on his lip and i could tell he was acting erratically. you could tell he was not there. at that point, the male flight attendant came running from the center of the cabin up to the cockpit when he saw that the door was open, the captain had come out, and i guess he was
4:04 am
pretty much going to tell, you know, what are you guys doing? you're not supposed to come out without, you know, us closing it off up there. and with that, he opened the door to the cockpit further and i could see the co-pilot actually starting to get out of his seat to try to close the door and then with that, the male flight attendant went into the cockpit for 30 seconds and came out and then immediately indicated to the third flight attendant to come forward and gave her a message there was a pilot, off-duty pilot about, i guess, row 16, something like that. >> so don, while this is all unfolding and the co-pilot was smart to lock the door, what are you thinking? are you thinking i got to play a role here and when did the seven people get up and tackle him? >> well, what was really -- honest thing about it, the only people that noticed anything going on was myself and charlie,
4:05 am
the associate i'm traveling with. and pretty much nobody else sitting around noticed anything other than the -- you know, the flight attendant. and the fact that they had opened the door. and what they ended up doing, she got him some water and talked to him for a few minutes and realized he wasn't all there and walked -- the two flight attendants walked him to the back of the plane. and again, no one in the plane knew. it was a typical flight, morning flight, early morning flight, people sleeping, watching a movie. reading their newspaper. pretty much typical morning flight. >> and then don, at what point did one of the flight attendants holler restrain him? and, you know, it was a good thing because on that particular flight, you had a bunch of guys bound for vegas in a security conference, former cops and a lot of big guys who jumped right on him and held him down until they landed in an emergency style in amarillo. >> yeah, when he ran towards
4:06 am
the -- he then left the back of the plane and ran towards the cockpit and that's when he was yelling through the cockpit different things from afghanistan to israel so there's a bomb. and then he got to the cockpit door and he was yelling got to get the plane down. you got to pull the throttles back. and everybody was just kind of still looking at him because, you know, he is the captain of the plane. what do you do? and at that point, the -- he was trying to open the door with the code and it wasn't working. and that's when the flight attendant came over and tried to stop him and then he started banging on the door. and that's when the two pilots that were now in command, the pilot that had to come forward and got into the cockpit and the co-pilot that was there announced, restrain him. please restrain him. >> and when you got him to the ground, i understand they put on the plastic cuffs and he broke
4:07 am
out of them. this is a pretty strong guy. during those hours until you landed in amarillo, text -- texas was there a sense that he could get free and try something. >> some people took off their belts and we tied it up with their belts and they took the seat belt extender and tied up his legs and literally four guys sat on him for the 20 minute flight to amarillo from the time they got him down on the ground and once we landed in amarillo, air marshalls and everybody else were right there waiting. >> thank you so much for telling us that first account. there's going to be a lot of questions now about stuff that's go on board as far as restraining people including pilots because that probably was never thought about before that this could actually happen this way. glad you're safe. >> all right. and the co-pilot, of course, a huge hero for locking the guy out. meanwhile, the other big story, we are now three hours away from the finale of the obamacare battle in washington, d.c. let's go out to the supreme court. steve centanni standing by live,
4:08 am
third day in a row. good morning to you, steve. >> good morning. day three of these very dramatic and high stakes oral arguments before the u.s. supreme court. the demonstrators are out here in full force yesterday as they have been all along, some for, some against. while inside, the nine justices grappleed with the central issue in this whole health care debate and that's the question of the individual mandate. can somebody be forced to buy health insurance they might not otherwise want and if they don't buy it, can they be assessed a penalty? some of the liberals on the court say, of course, you can because if you don't buy health insurance, the costs go up for all of us, the solicitor general made the argument that the health care marketplace is unlike any other but the justices fired back and here are a couple of them. >> they're not stupid. they're young and need the money now. >> here the government is saying that the federal government has the duty to tell
4:09 am
the individual citizen it must act and that's different from what we have in previous statements. that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way. >> and a couple of new questions today related to health care. that severability. if the individual mandate gets shot down, do other parts of the law survive and also the dramatic expansion of medicaid under this law. the justices will hear those arguments today in two different sessions, morning and afternoon. back to you guys. >> steve centanni, thanks so much. big huge day back there. probably see you again tomorrow morning. to the rest of your headlines, we begin with new information in the trayvon martin case. police have arrested a leader from the new black panther party. this guy on your screen right there, the man who put a $10,000 dead or alive bounty on shooter george zimmerman's head. cops busted him on unrelated weapons charges in georgia. the arrest the same day trayvon's parents spoke about the shooting on capitol hill.
4:10 am
>> my heart is broken but it breaks even more to know that we have not gotten justice yet and that this man has not been arrested. for shooting and killing my son. >> george zimmerman insist that he shot him in self-defense. florida's law protects him in certain cases. he has not been charged. crews in arkansas will resume their search today for little caleb lynn, he vanished over the weekend. he was volunteering with his aunt to clean up a local boy scout camp. they found two of his shirts near the area where he disappeared. when the local sheriff's department resume their search, they want dogs and divers to focus on a nearby river. ground search has been called off. good thing bruce springsteen backed out of president obama's re-election team. chris christie is hoping he'll have some free time to work for him instead? christie asked the boss to help revive the atlantic city economy by performing at the opening of
4:11 am
a brand new casino. >> i really think , you know, when he gets off of the summer part of his tour, he doesn't have anything announced yet for labor day weekend. i think labor day weekend at revel for bruce springsteen would be an incredible show of support by bruce for his home state. >> will springsteen do it? a publicist for the boss so far saying no comment. all right. those are your headlines. >> stand by, we'll see. coming up on this wednesday morning, brian sits down with the army's chief of staff. his insight into our future of the mission in afghanistan and that is coming up next. >> and don't worry! be happy! at what age are people the most content? the answer coming up. this is delicious okay...

4:15 am
>> some of our nation's bravest soldiers being welcomed home right now. you're looking live at pictures out of melrose, massachusetts, where about 200 soldiers from the 182nd infantry regimen are arriving home from a year long deployment in afghanistan that could not have been easy. their mission, improving security and working with the local afghan government to speed up reconstruction. we know how dangerous that could be. these brave men and women served a year in kosovo back in 2006. and that is a real family reaction. last night, i had a chance to sit down with the army chief of staff, general ray ordiano who discussed the war as well as the men and women who are still serving overseas. >> general ordiano, always great to see you and for the second time now, you're at the
4:16 am
armed forces foundation dinner. now, more than ever, despite the public perception, armed forces needs people on the outside helping those who serve on the inside. >> this is a great night. we have people who volunteer to help our wounded warriors, to help our soldiers both with visible and invisible wounds and this is going to go on and we need everybody's continued support. >> so a stat today from our research that said over the last 10 years, there's been 47,712 wounded in battle. in both theaters. that's a lot of people trying to make life work different from when they left. having said all that, with all the fighting that you guys have done are you getting the sense that the american public is getting restless with the afghanistan war in particular? >> well, i think over time, people are starting to -- it's starting to impact them. people look at what's going on in afghanistan, they get a little frustrated. and i think they -- they're concerned about how it's going
4:17 am
to end up but i believe it's important that we stay in there. we're making real -- i've been over there. we are making real progress. besides some of the incidents that have occurred, afghans are standing up every day and their security forces are getting better. it's a very small percentage that are acting out and i think it's important to our own security to ensure that in afghanistan, we never create an area where it can be a safe haven for terrorism. >> cbs/"new york times" does a poll four months ago and say are you in support of the afghanistan war? 53% say no, i think i'm not anymore. now that number is up to 69%. does that play a role in how the secretary of the army does his job? >> no. you know, my job is to ensure that we provide trained and ready forces and they're capable of doing whatever mission they can do. >> does president hamid karzai have the same tone with leadership like you and the president of the united states as he has publicly when he makes speeches in condemning our forces and our effort. >> i'll go back to my experience
4:18 am
in iraq and i would tell you that politicians in iraq said some things publicly for their internal consumption, they said things very differently to us behind closed doors. my guess is that same thing happens there. >> and that's what's happening now? what happened two saturdays ago which is alleged to have happened to master sergeant bales. one thing about the army, you adjust on the fly better than anyone on u.s. history. you've adjusted to the battle. you've adjusted to the challenges and you've changed your equipment and you've won. what can you learn from a horrific incident like that that maybe people need to be re-examined if they have four or five deployments, will you revisit that? >> first, we have to go through the details of what exactly happened. and we're still working our way through that. what happened, why did it happen, it will take a little while to do that. of course, we are always, always reviewing our policies. we're always reviewing what we do to ensure our soldiers are ready to go back into combat. we do not take that lightly. we certainly don't want to send
4:19 am
somebody into combat who is not prepared to physically and mentally execute the very critical and important needs and dangerous needs that they have to be able to do in combat. >> when you look at our situation right now in afghanistan, i'll tell you what the political leaders say behind the scenes, there is a type of talk going on, how do we get out of here quicker than 2014? has that reached your desk yet? >> every conversation i've had within the leadership is we are there through 2014. and in fact, we believe we'll have some people there beyond 2014. >> do you think it's right for people who aren't physically fighting these wars to judge how long we should be there? >> well, i mean, i think this is about our country, our country makes decisions on what's best for our national security so it's important to have open debate on these issues. that's what makes our country so great in our mind that we're able to have open debate and people should be able to give their own opinions on what's happening. ultimately, you know, we'll give our best military advice to the civilian leadership. and they'll make a decision but
4:20 am
i'm confident we're going to remain in afghanistan through the end of 2014. >> general, thanks so much for your service. it's great for you to communicate what the army needs and what you do on a daily basis. thanks so much for coming in. >> thank you, brian. >> general ordiano who has a nuclear energy background sat down with us. great night. imagine seeing this on your way to work. >> got to get away from it! it's going to blow up! get away. oh, my god! >> the truck next to you catches fire and looks like it's about to blow. the video you have to see more of. plus she's only 9 years old but took serious issue with the liberal lessons being taught in her classroom. she wrote a best-selling book about it. that young lady here next.

4:25 am
taught in school? i think parents always do every day. right? so are they actually teaching kids what you want them to be teaching? >> well, our next guest took issue with some of the liberal lessons being taught in school and now one of them turning around in a positive way and joining us now, you know that guy screen right, cnbc's squawk box host along with his daughter blake. they're the authors of "your teacher said what? "good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> i understand this started out as an exercise you wrote down different words that you didn't understand during the day. then you'd say dad, what's stimulus and things you heard in class. >> i wrote down things that i heard in class. one was tenure. >> didn't write down the american way or free enterprise or innovation or individual initiative. none of that came out and i wanted her to know that that's why we're sitting here, you know, in the greatest city in
4:26 am
the world with all this technology. >> right. >> so you decided to tackle this and kind of come out with a guidebook for parents and kids about maybe looking at the world in a slightly different way. right? >> yes, because this isn't all bad. capitalism is what got us the ipad, even the oreo. >> i like that. we all -- all kids and adults like that. >> this is the paperback version. you were on the show last year with the hard cover. you've added some things to this book. what's new about it? >> in the last year, we've, you know, moved into election season. we've seen the campaigns on both sides sharpen the focus on the type of future they seek for the country and it's become pretty clear, there's one path that if i had to sum it up, i'd say the road to freedom and road to s f surfdom, there's a road to statedom and the road we've been on for 300 years.
4:27 am
free enterprise and achievement through merit. >> you make it sound like we've been on the road for a long time and suddenly under this president it's harder to raise a kid. explain what's going on in the country. >> it's harder to raise a kid that is going to grow up in a place where they -- they earn their success, i think. and we're seeing it played out in europe right now, what can happen and how difficult it is for the private sector, you know, to work properly when the government gets so big that it starts crowding everybody out. >> or zuccotti park. >> she blogged about zuccotti park. anglo zuccotti came over here and worked at el morocco as a waiter. he was an italian immigrant. his son got to go to law school and become a huge financier and bequeath that park, the american dream and here these people are in zuccotti park with no idea of the irony of how -- of where they are and how it epitomizes the american dream which apparently they don't think is available to them. >> for people who are not in new

4:34 am
>> interesting. >> brian kilmeade in d.c. >> i'm sure he wouldn't be calling on the guy from "the new york times" very often if he was mitt romney's press secretary. i thought it was amazing last night that jay leno became chris wallace all of a sudden. he's talking about russia, war, kel gatts, his policies. vice presidential pick. what happens when he talks to the president, he never talks like that. >> there's a brand new poll out, cnn poll that shows majority of americans want newt gingrich and ron paul out. take a look right here. time for newt and paul to drop out? 60% say yes to newt. 61% say yes to ron paul. 21% say yes to mitt romney about double that for rick santorum. there's big news about newt gingrich this morning. he says he's not going to be going anywhere because he's going to take it all the way to the convention. here's the news. he's let go of a third of his staff because they don't have the cash flow anymore and he's replaced his campaign manager
4:35 am
with somebody else who was already on his staff. so it appears that he's going to be going more to social media strategies. and cut down on his travel as well. it comes down to the dough. >> there's one other poll out today in pennsylvania it looks like santorum's 15 point lead is gone. santorum and mitt are essentially tied. rick's got 30 and mitt has 28%. >> if newt was to drop out, the poll went on to say that mitt romney would get 15 points. if ron paul was to drop out, just about the same thing. real quick on newt, he does have a strategy. he wants to just stop mitt from getting 1144 and thinks they have a good shot if they get to the convention. i would definitely miss him on the trail. his answers, his interviews. >> makes it interesting. >> makes it more fun. yep. >> all right. brian, sit tight for a minute. we're going to do the headlines right now. bizarre details pouring in about that jet blue pilot that apparently had a meltdown mid flight. 49-year-old clay osbon acting so
4:36 am
erratically that his own co-pilot decided to lock him out of the cockpit. that's when he started ranting and raving about a bomb and told the passengers to "say their prayers." >> he came running down the aisle and he was screaming afghanistan, there's a bomb. i got to get in the cockpit and he started banging on the cockpit door. >> started yelling, it's going to go off or they're going to blow it up. >> well, the pilot's meltdown came about two hours after the flight took off from yk j.f.k. here in new york bound for las vegas. it reportedly took five passengers to subdue him until the co-pilot could safely land in amarillo. for more on this, let's go live to lydia wekihg live outside the pilot's house in queens, new york. good morning to you, lydia. >> good morning, guys. this is where he lived part time, five minutes away from j.f.k. and i spoke to a lot of
4:37 am
the neighbors here and said he was a very well laid back and he paid about $250 a month for a room there. he was anything but laid back less than 24 hours ago ranting and raving and telling people to say their prayers, we're going down. when we researched the 49-year-old captain, we saw a very different picture. osbon is a veteran pilot logging more than 18,000 hours in the air. he's flown 35 different kinds of planes. he loved flying. even did it in his free time. he's married and adores his grandson. he loves to play wii. so what happens -- why did this guy snap? that's the big question. because a lot. neighbors here told me he was a really great guy and played with some of the neighborhood kids. he was a giants fan. and actually just spoke to the landlord before here and she said he's been living there for 10 years and that he even called her mama and she actually told me she didn't sleep all night long she was so upset this happened to him. so let's toss it back to you guys in the studio.
4:38 am
>> all right. thanks so much, lydia, for that update. i think we're going to go outside now to steve. >> all right, gretch, thank you very much. take a look, it's the legendary skateboarder tony hawk. good morning to you, tony. >> good morning. >> tony, we'll talk a little bit about something you've got going where people are going to be able to find hidden treasure across the country? >> yeah, it's called the tony hawk twitter hunt and basically something i did a few years ago as an experiment when i was going to skate one day, i threw a skate outside the road and tweeted out, hey, i left a skateboard right here. >> you gave the location. >> i gave the location. i was in the cul-de-sac and by the time i got to my ramp, there were pictures of someone holding it. thanks a lot. and then they said as they were leaving how other people were driving in to find it. i realized how prolific twitter is and i decideed to do it on a global scale and hide things all over the world. >> tell us about the upcoming twitter treasure hunt. >> april 15th all day long on twitter. >> state twitter day! >> kind of my gift back to
4:39 am
everyone and my handle is tony hawk and i'll be hiding stuff all over the world and if you're lucky enough to be near one of the packages, go find it and tell us that you found it. that's the most important thing. we need to keep track of everything. >> verify. you want them to take a picture and send it to you. >> yeah, that's better. a lot of people will claim stuff and then we have a lot of confusion. >> out of curiousity, what sort of treasures are they? great big diamond? million dollars cash? >> well, skateboards, obviously. but actually asked different sponsors of different companies to get involved so we have stuff like guitars and we have stereos and yeah, it's kind of like a box of goodies. >> very nice. speaking of goodies, because you're so good at skateboarding, chris, come over here. couple of weeks ago, this is chris our camera operator. a couple of weeks ago on the program, tony, we had chris involved in a -- in a relay. there's the picture right there. >> yeah. >> and at one point, chris, well, essentially took a header. so we were thinking it -- and
4:40 am
here it goes. oh! there you go! >> now you're putting me on wheels. >> yes, we're putting you on wheels. can you show chris how to safely skateboard. >> i can try to, sure. >> i hope it goes better than that. >> although when he does that, it's very funny and i only say that because you were not hurt. >> show him what to do. >> first, we have to figure out which way he stands. >> he stands behind a camera. >> so your left foot forward, that's regular footed, right? >> yeah. >> keep your foot angled right here. this foot needs to go on this side of the board to push off. when you push off, try to put your back foot over these bolts. instead of here, put on the back tail, you might wheelie out. that's called a mr. wilson. >> dennis the menace. >> yeah. >> like that, right? i'll watch you first. >> push off, right? >> like this. >> push off. >> good! >> yeah, do that, chris. come on. how hard can that be?

hospital. now back to d.c. and brian. >> now to the latest on the trayvon martin case. the new black panther party putting a bounty on the man that shot trayvon, george zimmerman offering $1,000 to whoever captures him "dead or alive." >> i got to kill yours. black power. >> by next week, we're looking forward to getting $1 million for the capture of george zimmerman. we're going to force our government to do their job properly and if they don't, we will with. >> this morning, one of the leaders of the party is under arrest. so will the justice department now get involved? with us to discuss this is former justice department attorney jay christian adams and author of "injustice." people might remember you, too, because you investigated the black panthers for what they were doing or not doing during the election cycle in 2008 and that went nowhere. why is this one seemingly going
4:48 am
nowhere or slow off the mark? >> it's because the new black panthers thinks they're above the law. what would have given them that idea? we know the answer. answer is eric holder. we live in a country where lawless mobs don't offer bounties on citizens' heads to be captured. we don't live in that country. these guys think they do. >> could it be there's so many moving parts and tensions are so high, they haven't focused on this organization because a lot of people on the outside will be wow, between the families on both sides and the prosecutor who has resigned and the sheriff who stepped aside. >> they need to focus on them because you cannot solicit kidnapping in the state of florida. it's a felony in florida. it's a felony to travel across interstate lines to solicit kidnapping so here we have the new black panthers once again probably committing crimes and going completely unpunished. >> besides eric holder, is there a fear of inflaming race relations if you crack down on people who want to inflame race relations like the black panther party. >> there's a fear among some but no fear among people like al
4:49 am
sharpton. >> he was there in hours. >> that's right. and even the president has inserted himself in a racial way saying that trayvon looks -- >> you think wrongly? >> absolutely wrongly. no president in our country's history would have injected himself into a criminal matter using racial code like barack obama did. >> right. in terms of this case, too, isn't it pretty clear especially from a guy in your situation that there's much more that we all have to learn about this case. >> no question. that's what the process of law is. that's why what the black panthers did is so bad, because we have a system to analyze complicated facts like this. it's not a lynch mob. it's not a posse of lawless thugs. >> is this something very frustrating for you personally? >> yeah, it is. look, these guys, they act with impunity. there's jerry jackson and a new black panther who is in philadelphia. there's photos of him on the web with weapons. he's a felon and not allowed to have weapons. this justice department won't do anything. >> in a normal justice department and one from another administration, what kind of charges could be brought up on him? >> look, you can't travel
4:50 am
across state lines to solicit kidnapping and you can't travel from atlanta to florida. >> really? i had no idea. >> you can't solicit kidnapping under florida law. where's the florida department of law enforcement on this? where are they? something needs to be done. >> thanks for talking about this and i think we'll be talking about it more and it seems also they are fearless of any ramifications for their actions. >> that's right. >> appreciate you coming in. >> all right. coming up straight ahead, top companies hiring this week including companies, by the way, who earned top honors from their own employees. these are people that you want to work for. but first on this day in history in 1978, the beegees, "night fever" was number one and on gretchen's turntable every single day. she played it when she came home from school. she won't admit it but she did.

"fox & friends" starts right now >> gretchen: good morning, everyone. hope you're gonna have a great wednesday, middle of the week, hump day. brian is in d.c good morning to you. >> brian: good morning, gretch and steve. i think one thing i'd like to get clear, 2 1/2 hours ago, steve doocy's son, peter, came up and said, you're not going to leave your bag in the news room. can i take it? he's gone. he's left the building. my stuff is gone of the i'm going to talk about stuff you want to talk about. flight 191, jetblue, supposed to be in vegas, ended up in
5:02 am
amarillo. >> steve: it was under the direction of jetblue captain clayton ozben, 49-year-old veteran. he was supposed to wind up in vegas, but -- there he is, screen left, a picture from his twitter account. he had some sort of a breakdown inside the cockpit. he wound up getting up and going outside the cockpit. at some point, the copilot then locked the door, changed the security code, and disarmed the inner com so that the captain, who apparently had said some crazy stuff in the cockpit, could not frighten the passenger s. but did he frighten them. >> gretchen: he apparently foaming at the mouth, according to some of the witnesses when he came out. he tried to get into the lavatory, a young woman was in there. so she was a little embarrassed. at that point i guess he started running up and down the aisles and some of the other flight attendants and passengers became a little disarmed and they tackled him. they tried to put those handcuffs on him. he was able to get out of those.
5:03 am
they were taking seatbelts and trying to wrap up harms and legs and use their own belts. you wond for it takes that many people to take down one person, it's still a scary situation for many people when we fly. >> brian: it's amazing. isn't that how they took down the shoe bomb. >> rick: with all our sophisticated equipment, they had -- this took seven guys. what about the copilot? can't say enough for him. he must be thinking, how do i get him out of the cockpit, lock him out and land the plane? pause one of the quotes they had is, say your prayers. we are all going down. he also started mentioning israel, iraq, and afghanistan. so who knows where this thing was going. at 7:00 o'clock last night, i got a text message from my audio guy, don davis, who was on the plane. he joined us this morning and he's one of the many people that we're talking about, what it was
5:04 am
like and the terror aboard that plane. but the weird thing was, you weren't going against a passenger. you were going against the guy you were supposed to be taking orders from. >> i mean, a lot of people were just alarmed of what's going on. anything that transpires on an airplane now adays, everyone is real touchy. it's a security event in las vegas this week, so there were a lot of those guys on the plane. there was a retired police officer on the plane who really took charge. first time he put his hands on him to restrain the pilot, he assisted him, he said it's time bring this guy to the ground. >> gretchen: there will be so many questions now moving forward. we'll have two passengers who will tell us everything that went down. but they're still debating whether or not pilots should be armed in the cockpits. this is going -- >> steve: imagine if that guy ha done. >> gretchen: yeah. it's going to be a huge issue now. and also what kind of restraining devices do they have on board? >> steve: i wonder if the copilot, brian, had visions of remember that -- the guy who was
5:05 am
flying that egypt air jet years ago who steered it straight down and took everybody out? hats off to that copilot 'cause he knew something was amiss with the captain. >> brian: that was prior to 9-11. and that's never been fully investigated. a side note, our former colleague was on the plane. she was able to chronicle what happened. what a crazy night. you never thought you had to guard yourself against the captain. >> steve: no kidding. couple weeks ago, it was a flight attendant. the guy in charge? 5 minutes after the top of the hour. another huge day today in washington, d.c obamacare's last stand perhaps. the instead final round of hearings getting underway in two hours. let's go to the supreme court right now where steve centanni has been vigilant the last three days. this is his last day because it's the last day they're going to hear oral arguments. >> last day of oral arguments on this case. then a very dramatic series of arguments. today we're going to move into new territory, and that is
5:06 am
severalability. can you shoot down the individual mandate and still have the health care law survive? that's what the justice also be debating. can you expand medicaid to give it to millions more people and will the states be forced to pay for that? those are the issues today. demonstrators gathering again out here today as they have been doing for the past several days. always a very vocal contingent, pro and con out here in front of the courthouse. inside, the big debate yesterday was that individual mandate, the crux of the whole matter. we had justice ginsburg saying yes, you can compel people to buy healthcare insurance because if they don't buy t the costs go up for all of us. the inspector general making the case this that thank is a marketplace like no other, but some of the justices firing back very vehemently, including scalia and kennedy. here is part of that. >> they're not stupid, they're going to buy insurance later. they're young and need the money now. >> here the government is saying
5:07 am
that the federal government has a duty to tell individual citizens that it must act and that is different from what we have in previous stages. that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in the very fundamental way. >> and there you had justice kennedy with a very serious question, skeptical on this issue of the individual mandate. he's one of the ones liberals were hoping to peel off for their side. now that's questionable. >> steve: steve centanni, thank you. see you later. >> gretchen: let's do a couple other headlines. he's accused of beating five people to death at a home in san francisco and later today he is expected to find out if he's going to face death himself fort murders. we have learned luck will likely be charged with five counts of murder. a judge ordered his deportation back in 2006 after he served time for armed robbery and assault, but vietnam's
5:08 am
government failed to provide the required documents to have him out of this country. few hours, crew also resume their search for missing caleb lynn in arkansas. he was last seen near a bridge at a boy scout camp. he was there with his aunt. two shirts that he was wearing were found yesterday. sheriffs have used divers, police dogs and planes in a desperate attempt to find him. we've learned that the ground search has been called off and searchers will now focus on the river. would be carjacker didn't stand a chance against this 81-year-old korean war vet when barney and his wife stopped at a gag station in michigan, a man wielding a butcher night went right up to the car and reached for the keys. barney was inside, his wife was still alone in the car. barney saw what was going down and let's just say this crook messed with the wrong vet. >> said get out of the car. i'm taking it. i said what? and then i looked and i saw this
5:09 am
and i thought oh, crap. >> it was mine. what is mine is mine. what is yours, is yours and let's keep it that way. >> gretchen: here is the suspect right here. recently released from prison. he's back behind bars this morning, this time facing a life sentence. a warm welcome home moments ago for some of our nation's bravest soldiers. you can feel the excitement there, seeing members of the crowd welcome home their heros, 200 soldiers from the 182nd infantry regiment arrived home in melrose, massachusetts this morning. they've been deployed in afghanistan for the past year. the 182nd helped improve security, worked with the local afghan government to speed up reconstruction. those are your headlines for wednesday. >> steve: let's talk a little, as brian puts it, the trayvon martin case. still no arrest of george zimmerman. there are a lot -- he's the suspect -- well, he's not even
5:10 am
the suspect. he's the fellow who shot trayvon martin. he has not been arrested and the new black panther party has called for a bounty on his head of $10,000, dead or alive. listen to this. >> you kill mine (bleep) i got to kill yours. we next week, we're looking forward to getting $1 million for the capture of george zimmerman. we're going to force our government to do their job properly and if they don't, we will. >> gretchen: so that was the bounty that was put out. jay christian adam, you spoke to him, he formerly was the lawyer at the justice department. what did he say? >> brian: he was the one who said the black panthers played a role in intimidating people when they went to vote in the pennsylvania area and it went nowhere under this attorney general. so jay christian adams saw this, saw the threats, listened to it
5:11 am
and couldn't believe there wasn't more being done about coralling these guys. here he is earlier today. >> the new black panthers think they're above the law. and what would have given them that idea? we all know the answer. the answer is eric holder. look, we live in a country where lawless mobs don't offer bounties on citizens' heads to be captured. these guys think we do. >> brian: could it be -- yeah, so he felt this way, and also when he was saying that, he also talked to me on the break how emphatic he was that nothing was happening. the text messages are coming in and twitter and e-mails. here is an example, i don't understand how black panthers can put out a wanted dead or alive reward. isn't this the same as a contract for hire to kill? all the black panthers involved in the wanted poster should be arrested and charged for attempting to hire an assassin. >> steve: we got on e-mail who says, where is holder?
5:12 am
our attorney general. why hadn't the president responded to this threat? this is a scary time. can you imagine, brian and gretch, if somebody from the tea party put out a bounty on somebody and said dead or alive? double standard? >> gretchen: probably. we'd probably be reporting it a little differently. >> brian: yeah. i tell you what, i'm stunned by it. i look for them to crack down. i also think it's a lot to do with there are so many moving parts in this case, maybe the black panthers are getting swamped by the other news as we try to find out what happened that night. >> steve: keep the e-mails coming. >> gretchen: you can twitter as well. coming up, a live look at the supreme court where two hours from now, the obamacare bill will be back on the docket. is it doomsday for the president's prized piece of legislation? senator john mccain standing by to weigh if on that. >> steve: at first she didn't share her dad's skepticism over president obama. in fact, ivanka trump had high hopes for the day he took

not on the runway. no. >> president obama got in hot water over his open microphone incident with the russian president. he implied once he was reelected, he'd be more free to help the russians. but see, it wasn't that open mic incident, it was later when the mic was still open. show that. >> mr. president, would you do me the honor and sing that song one more time? ♪ i'm so in love with you
5:17 am
[ laughter ] >> amazing! >> brian: that was humorous. but the dangers of a deal with russia behind closed doors, they're very real. joining us now is senator john mccain who walked in fired up about this. senator, first off, the comments made to medvedev, how out of place was it? >> the president is free to say whatever he wants, but the important thing is how revealing it is. in other words, the president is ready to back off of what has been our position, missile defense, since ronald reagan. how else could you interpret it when someone says, i'll be flexible. also, by the way, acceptance that putin, as a result of a corrupt election, remain has dictator of russia for another 12 years. but most importantly, it was right hand reagan's support of missile defense that basically convinced gorbacev they couldn't win the cold war.
5:18 am
so now the president of the united states, barak obama, who back some years ago said he didn't believe in it anyway is going to be, quote, flexible. that is very, very revealing about this president. and what does it have to say about an unfettered president of the united states on a myriad of other issues? we certainly know his liberal leanings on a variety of things. >> brian: the czech republic infelt like they were left out to dry because they took a security risk by allowing our systems to go into their nations. >> and at midnight they were told they were reneging on that. this missile defense system is tailored to try to prevent an iranian launch that might strike europe or other places, depending on the capabilities of the missile. now we're going to, quote, be flexible? flexible means you're going to compromise and i think that's
5:19 am
very dangerous, frankly for the safety of the united states of america, iranian government is committed to the -- >> brian: the guy you're supporting now, mitt romney came forward and asked about it and he said look, i cannot believe this deal is being cut, especially with our geopolitical fault. do you agree with that and the follow-up, do you agree with john boehner that the republicans or anybody else should not criticize the president when he's overseas? >> well, i understand john boehner's point and i respect that. but this is a very serious issue. this is very serious. no matter where the president is, if he makes a statement that i think could endanger the united states national interest, i have to respond no matter where the president of the united states is. i spent too many years in efforts working with republican and democratic administrations to fry to protect this nation and missile defense -- and it is a defensive system. not an offensive system. why would the russians object so much to a defensive system? all i can say is that i
5:20 am
respectfully disagree with speaker boehner. when something that important is said by the president of the united states of america, we have to respond. >> brian: right. do you believe they are our fault? >> i think in many respects. look what they're doing in syria. they're supplying arms and equipment to assad while he slaughters and massacres his own people. look at what they continue to prop up north korea. they continue to -- and obviously there is now a president for life. >> brian: got you. always great seeing you in person. thanks for getting up. we get you on the phone and satellite. next thing is we got to hang out. coming up next, tiger woods' former coach is here. he says he'll never work with another pro as long as he lives. then ivanka trump says president obama dashed her high hopes. she's standing by live to explain next. i believe that's proof [ male announcer ] how can power consumption in china,

[ applause ] >> steve: joining us live is the daughter of donald trump, business woman and fashion designer, ivanka trump. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: also star of "celebrity apprentice" as well. >> we're having a lot of fun this season. >> steve: so many candidates have gone to meet your dad, to introduce themselves and stuff like that. i'm sure you've met a number of the candidates. >> i have. they've all come to our office. it's the most incredible thing. i'll be in the middle of a meeting and my father will say,
5:26 am
mitt romney is coming up to the office, or newt gingrich is coming up to the office. it's been a wild election. >> steve: what happens in the room? so your dad is behind this desk. mitt romney is sitting in the chair. what do they talk about? >> honestly, my father asks about things that he thinks are relative to the concerns of the country today. so policies on china, the economy in general, plans for jobs. these are the questions that i think we all want straight answers to. >> gretchen: i love the fact that your father wants you in the room, too. you're an important part of his business model and role and you're the vice president there. but i love that he may want the female perspective. >> and at the end of the day, i'm his child and as a mother myself, now my baby is eight months old, but you want to expose your children to amazing things and he has a platform and ability to do that. that's really unlike anyone else. >> steve: when barak obama became president, i know you were very hopeful he would have a successful presidency. are you thinking about who you're going to vote for next time around?
5:27 am
>> i am. i think it will be governor romney. he's somebody i felt very good about when we met with. i think he's very candid. i think he is very strong. i think he's got great business intelligence, which is extremely important and unfortunately devoid from the current administration. so i think it's a combination of skills, plus he's very stable. he strikes me as a very solid person who can handle the enormous pressures of the office. >> gretchen: we do want to mention that at the beginning of the obama administration, you wanted him to do well. you had high hopes for him. >> i think everyone does. even people who didn't vote for him. you want somebody who is elected president to succeed. it is self-defeating not to. i was in that category, whether or not i agreed with everything he said as he was campaigning, as he was running, as he came into office, you sit there at the inauguration, you watch it and say, i hope he's right. i hope i'm wrong. >> steve: we're talking about
5:28 am
the country. speaking of succeed, we're wondering who will be the last man or woman standing at the end of this season of "celebrity "cy apprentice"? >> i don't know. >> steve: it's an awesome season. >> it really is. the characters and the combination of characters are incredible. you put these explosive personalities together and sometimes people who are totally opposite get along perfectly. >> steve: never saw that coming. >> there is a little bit of both this season. great friendships and some very bitter rivalries. >> gretchen: in case you didn't think ivanka was busy enough at her high powered job and being a new mom, you're also launching soh on. your wardrobe, your jewelry, your purses, even do you do shoes? >> i do shoes. i'm wearing them today. everything i'm wearing is ivanka trump. >> gretchen: tonight you're having a special event. >> i'm hosting my first fashion show with lord and taylor. they've been great supporters of my line. they started first by buying my shoes and handbags and then the coats and clothing. so we are having a fashion show. bonnie brooks will be hosting

it. and then there is going to be a public meet and greet at the 5th avenue store. it's a very exciting opportunity and for me, it's an amazing validation to have the great retail partners i do and to see the product being something that customers are really responding to. >> steve: that's going to be tonight at lord and taylor right here in new york city. we thank you very much. we know you got a busy day. you probably got to find a new handbag or something. >> exactly. for all those professional chic women. >> steve: you got to design a handbag or endorse a presidential candidate. one or the other. >> gretchen: just another day. we'll see you soon. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up, a fox news alert hours after a jetblue pilot went berserk, we've learned about another midair meltdown, breaking details coming up next. >> steve: and tiger woods' former coach telling all. hank haney here live to explain why he will never, ever work with another golf pro again. he's coming up straight ahead on "fox & friends"

5:34 am
being wrestled to the floor. we're told the flight did land safely. this comes on the heels of an incident on a jut blue flight yesterday. in that cakes the pilot apparently went berserk. coming up, we'll talk to two of those brave men who wrestled him to the ground and sat on him 'til they landed the plane in texas. what a day in the air. >> gretchen: lucky streak for one woman in california until now. back in january, she won a million dollars lotto jackpot. just last week, she won another $260,000 jackpot. surveillance video shows her handing it over to a homeless man begging for money. she says she thought she handed him $100. the california judge will decide if she gets to keep a cut. >> steve: it's good thing bruce springstein backed out of president obama's reelection team. new jersey governor chris christie is hoping he'll have some free time to work for him

instead. christie's asked the boss to perform at a new atlantic city casino. >> i really think when he gets off of the summer part of his tour, i think labor day weekend for bruce springstein would be an incredible show of support by bruce for his home state. >> steve: why not? so will bruce do it? a publicist for the boss saying no comment this morning. >> gretchen: call it a case of foul play. you're looking at a guy swatting a goose with a rolled up newspaper. the bird doesn't go down without a fight. the goose flies right for the guy's face. the man versus bird showdown goes on for several minutes before the guy finally makes it past and goes on his way. he and the goose appear to be unharmed. might be a little disarming to have a goose come after you. >> steve: that ain't no mother goose. daddy. all right. let's take a look at the weather ahead for you on this wednesday.
5:36 am
it is a wet day through portions of texas. some thunderstorms overnight. now along the gulf coast. storm all the way from the pacific northwest through central portions of california at this hour. current readings as you head out, much warmer today here in new york city than it was yesterday at this time. 45 currently. later today, things will warm up. 80s across much of the southern plains. 70s across much of dixieland. that's your fox travel cast. down to washington and brian and a special guest. >> brian: he was one of the greatest golfers in the world on the way to smarting every golfing record. that was until a major scandal brought tiger woods' world to a halt, along with injury n. a tell-all book, his very esteemed swing coach is opening up, giving a detailed account of the six years spent with the golf star. i got this on my ipad. joining us now is the author of this book "the big miss, my years coaching tiger woods." welcome. >> thank you. glad to be with you.
5:37 am
>> brian: quick question, were you coaching the greatest golfer ever? >> absolutely, in my mind. the things that tiger does on the golf course, the record that he's had, the amount that he's better than his competition by, the record he's accumulated in such a short time relative short time has been amazing. >> brian: true. and we can see those records. but we also find out when you became his full swing coach, you said he wasn't really as good as he thought he was. he had a lot of problems. >> he had things to work on. i mean, every player does. it did surprise me that as dominant as he was, he still had more room for improvement. and they were little things. eliminating three putts, getting better at the easy chip shots, improving his distance control and driving. >> brian: it was hard to get close to him, you write. he called you his friend, one of his best friends, but you didn't feel that way. tiger has since commented on
5:38 am
your book. he said the book was unprofessional, all about money, and very disappointing. i'm sure you've read that. what's your reaction? >> well, i mean, my reason for writing the book is whenever you're in a position to observe greatness like i was for six years, you are asked about it all the time. i'm asked about tiger all the time. i'm asked about what it was like to work with him, how he is as a person, what are the things that i worked on. i wanted to share those observations. i thought about this long and hard about this book. when it got down to the end, i thought to myself, you know what? these are my memory, too. these aren't just his exclusive memories. he doesn't have a patent on them and i wanted to share my memories and observations about a person i think is the greatest player ever. >> brian: hank, just to take some of the quotes, one in which to give people an idea of the person you saw, he had qualities, including selfishness, obsessiveness, coldness, ruthlessness, pettiness and cheapness. those are not -- that's not a great description of what
5:39 am
somebody is like off the course. were you surprised by this consistent behavior? >> not necessarily. i mean, first off, all those words are all taken totally out of context. so in the meaning in the book, it has a lot to do with describing his greatness. one part of greatness is you have to be self-centered. he's playing individual sport. the best that i think there has ever been at it. so you would expect a certain level of arrogance. you would expect a certain level of confidence and self-centeredness. those are all things that goes in. when you pile all those words onto one page, then it looks like something that it's not. the book is overly positive. but if it didn't have some negative things in it, it wouldn't have been an honest book. the most important thing i wanted to do was write a truthful and honest book. >> brian: right. one thing is true, we can go up to date. the scandal is over. the injuries are tolerable. he won over the weekend and now
5:40 am
the odds makers are saying that he is a favorite to win the masters. does hank haney think tiger is a favorite to win the masters and can be number one again? >> there is no doubt that he can be number one again. he hasn't lost his skills. he's hitting the ball great. putted great at bay hill. that's the key for augusta. if he's going to win in augusta, he's got to eliminate three putts. last three years he played there, he's had too many three putts. he would have won six in a row if he didn't have all these three putts. that's the thing he's got to avoid. but everybody does at that golf course. if he can avoid the three putt, he'll be right there on sunday. >> brian: your career is great. you got a great television chevrolet you tried to fix charles barkley unsuccessfully. rush limbaugh loved it. but when you run across tiger woods, do you expect to ever have a conversation with him again? >> i mean, i would hope to. i mean, i don't have any problem with tiger. it was an incredible experience for me. i think if he read the book in his heart of hearts, he'd have to say it was an honest portrayal of what happened during the six years that we
5:41 am
were together and i don't have any animosity or hard feelings at all. so i hope he doesn't feel the same way. >> brian: to close, saying you'll never work with another pro again? >> when i had the opportunity to work with tiger, i said he's going to be my last pro. six years with tiger was enough. it was time to go. where do you go from tiger woods anyways? >> brian: maybe to me. i'll see what we can work out. we'll see what i can do. maybe i'll work with you full time. congratulations on the book. i don't know if i can pay you inform to work with me. the new book is called "the big miss." appreciate it, hank. we'll watch up to you on radio friday. coming up straight ahead, we've been telling you about that jetblue pilot who freaked out in midair. up next, two passengers who took him down. and do you spend like it's going out of style even though you're running out of cash? is that normal or not? dr. keith ablow will talk to us
5:45 am
>> gretchen: top story today, chaos in the sky. jetblue flight was divert to do make an emergency landing after the captain became erratic, yelling things like they're going to take us down. and rambling about bombs, iraq and afghanistan. our next guest decided to spring into action, tony and paul are hero passengers who helped subdue the captain and hold him until the flight landed and they're with me now live from las vegas. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> gretchen: tony, let me start with you. where were you sitting and when did you know something was up? >> i was sitting in row 10 and i noticed something was up almost from the outset.
5:46 am
the captain came out of the cockpit unannounced. that's very, in this day and age, odd behavior to not have the crew kind of securing that area. i think the real tipping point, though, when i realized something was going to go from bad and peculiar to worse was there was a off-duty captain sitting a few rows behind me and while the distressed captain was kind of escalating his erratic behavior, the flight attendant had requested that the off-duty pilot make his way up to the cockpit. so when the distressed captain went into the restroom, the off-duty pilot went into the cockpit. so i think at that point, just kind of taking mental inventory and realizing that they had to have another pilot in there to help fly the plane. >> gretchen: thank goodness there was another pilot on board. paul, i'm not sure where you were, but i know you're a former nypd, new york police department sergeant.
5:47 am
good thing you were on the plane because things went worse. the captain then was running up and down the aisles, is that true, and shouting like things bomb, iraq, and afghanistan. you had to take him down? >> that's correct. i was in aisle 7, a little closer than tony. and what caught my attention was when it turned he was a captain, but i saw a person wearing a jetblue uniform, darting towards the cockpit of the aircraft and then banging on the door. my immediate thought was that he was trying to -- either he was an imposter trying to use a uniform to try to get into the cockpit area or regardless of who he was, at that point he was a possible terrorist. so i immediately lunged to the front of the aircraft and with the assistance and cooperation of other passengers, we were able to grab him, physically hold him and restrain him on the ground for 15 to 20 minutes prior to the pilot who had then
5:48 am
taken over the aircraft to safely land the plane. >> gretchen: tony, i know you believe he was having some sort of a mental crisis. you were there firsthand. he did say to you when you were holding him down, did you hear him say, i am in despair? >> yeah. when he was -- once we took him to the ground -- i've seen some of the video actually that has been circulating. yeah, he was in a crisis. he was yelling about iran and afghanistan and we should say the lord's prayer just as we were trying to restrain him. once we took him to the ground, he was saying, i'm in despair, i'm in despair. >> gretchen: paul, do you think if he had been able to get back in the cockpit without the quick thinking of the copilot to change the code, was he going to take that plane down? >> i think that the copilot deserves a lot of credit. he used a great ruse to get him out of the cockpit area and i think if he would have returned, given his mental state of mind, and i dealt with many
5:49 am
emotionally disturbed people while i was working with the new york city police department, he did not have good intentions in getting into that cockpit area. also exacerbated the problem was the fact he was in the galley area and within that area is the potential of having sharp instruments that could have been used as weapons to take a hostage, to open the side door and cause decompression of the airplane. it's really a very volatile situation. >> gretchen: so many questions that are going through so many people's minds now as they think about flying the next time. tony and paul, hats off to you heros for taking your part in this. i'm glad you're all okay. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up on "fox & friends," you keep shopping even though you're running out of cash? is that normal or noto? dr. keith ablow dipping into his mail bag to answer yours questions. first let's check in with martha mccallum for what's up on top of the hour. >> i don't know, sounds perfectly normal to me. thanks very much. we got a big show coming up this

burning questions you've sent us is fox news contributor and psychiatrist, dr. keith ablow. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> steve: i'm doing fine, thanks very much. here is our first question for the day: i don't make much money, but i can't resist buying designer clothes. i spend much more than i should for labels everyone compliments me on. what's wrong with me? my husband has just about had it. doctor? >> well, all right. so here is the thing, there is nothing wrong inherently with designer labels. some very nice clothing carries the initials of other people, the lv. right? but if you're addict to do it, you got to start saying, why am i masquerading? why is it so important that i carry this credential that because of this handbag, i must be successful? what is it? when it starts interfering literally with your financial well-being and your marriage, well, then you've tilted in
5:55 am
another direction and it's not the normal direction. >> steve: not normal. all right. here is e-mail number 2: i am 34 and never wanted to make friends. i'm cordial to people, but always been a loner. i keep numbers in my cell only so i know not to answer if people call. is it normal to want to be alone? >> sure. listen, i think it's more abnormal if you can't stand being alone. taking your own counsel is sometimes valuable. and having a firewall between you and the world in these days of mass e-mails and text messages may be necessary. so i'm not prepared to call that nuts. but what i would say is if that becomes fear based where you can't stand to even have a few people, then that's a problem. this guy seems okay. >> steve: real king, the last one: my 12-year-old is fat. we have a healthy home. but sometimes i catch her sneaking sweets and i lose my temper to stop her.
5:56 am
getting angry doesn't fix things, but i can't help it. i feel like a mean mom. the verdict, doctor? >> yeah, you're a mean mom. [ laughter ] it's more complicated than that, though. it's not normal, though, because you need help. getting angry because your kid does something that many kids do, kids like sweets. wake up. getting angry about it shows that you've got an issue. you need the doctor. >> steve: there you go. if you have a question for our dr. keith ablow, log on to our web site and e-mail him with your questions. he'll answer them every week. thank you very much for making a couch call. >> any time. talk to you soon. >> steve: all right. tony hawk, like you've never seen him before, coming up.
