[inaudible] >> all right. we were having audio problems there with peter doocy. we will get back to him for an update on the jet crash. moving on right now, a manhunt

in tulsa, oklahoma this hour after an apparent shooting spree left three people dead and two more critically injured. police believe the same person or group of people is responsible for the attacks, which happened within three miles of each other at around the same time yesterday morning. police don't think the victims new each other. they are trying to figure out the motive. >> the political meeting of blitz is about to begin in pennsylvania. gop frontrunner mitt romney has bought $2.9 million of commercial airtime there. a romney win in the keystone state could knock rick santorum out of the race. santorum is romney's closest opponent and poo is his home state. the polls in pennsylvania vary. a public policy polling survey from thursday has romney ahead by 5% over santorum. but a poll puts former senator santorum in the lead by 4%.

the real clear politics average also shows santorum ahead, but only by 2%. meanwhile romney is making a power move courting a key demographic, women voters. president obama has not said it but several democrats have started raising money what they call the republican war on women. republican activists expects ann romney to make the pitch to voters. yesterday president obama made his own pitch to women. mosted a conference on women and the economy. his office insists it was not a campaign event and he didn't mention any candidate by name but i warned about electing people who want to end programs that help young women. >> when people talk about repealing healthcare reform, they aren't just saying we should stop protecting women with pre-existing conditions. they are also saying we should kick about a million young women off their parents' healthcare plans. when people say we should get

rid of planned parenthood, they aren't just talking about restrict ago woman's ability to make her own health decisions, they are talking about denying, as a practice matter, preventative care like mammograms that millions of women rely on. >> mr. obama presence add full review of his administration's achievements on equal pay and workforce flexibility as new unemployment numbers showed a uptick in job creation. the obama administration says it is not to blame for a government program that wasted hundreds of thousands of your taxpayer dollars. controversy is mounting as more people see the video made by one of the department's employees. ♪. >> well, doug is live with the latest on this controversy. hi, doug. >> good afternoon, patty. the obama administration pushing hard back against this gsa scandal saying in fact they inherited the problem from the

bush administration. budget numbers obtained by fox news do in fact show that spending for the western region conference for the gsa went up substantially during the bush years. $93,000 was spent in portland, oregon, and two years later in oklahoma city and then the last conference of the obama administration, $840,000. so the present administration is trying to make the case that the increase of the budget under the bush administration went up 248% from 2004 to 2006. then 102% two years later, but only 28% during the obama years. an administration official telling fox news, quoting now, at least we have taken swift, bowl, forceful action to hold those responsible accountable and to put in place brokes to make sure it never happens again. if bush administration officials had acted under their watch, the 2010 debacle could have been avoided. end quote. speaking on fox and friends this

morning, a former gsa official under the bush administration suggested the administration is spinning the numbers. >> well, when you are talking about that, it sounds good to say it went up over 100%. it went up about $250,000. >> a lot. >> it's a lot. but when you start small, it's easy to say it increased a lot. but really it wasn't vague -- vegas, it wasn't a million dollars. >> republican investigators on the hill will further examine gsa spending. as much as the conference scandal has drawn a lot of media attention, it pales in comparison to the billions of dollars the fsa incurs each year from sitting on empty or underused government buildings. two later planned hearings later this month. >> thank you. >> this congressional republican budget is something different

all together. it is a trojan horse. disguised as debt reduction plans, it is really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. it is thinly available social darwinism. >> president obama with some harsh language for republican congressman's paul ryan's budget plan. he claimed his plan to reduce the deficit is a call for medicare to compete against private healthcare plans. repeal of the national healthcare law which is currently being considered by the supreme court. an overhaul of medicare and the food stamp program, and a sharp reduction in corporate daxs. we will hear from a fair and balanced debate on this proposal, gop congressman michael grim when serves on the financial services committee and democratic congresswoman who serves on a committee. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's start with congressman

grimm. the pre says it guts things we need for training. what is your reaction to that? >> it's simple. i think the president has gone beyond his normal arrogance and is now at a level of uberace. it's simple, mr. president. how do you want to pay for this? you can't continue to borrow, tax and spend. the country is broke, it's going toward bankruptcy. all i want to know is where is the money going to come from? all we hear is tax the rich, tax the rich. you can't tax the rich to pay for everything. there just isn't enough rich people, there isn't enough money, and he doesn't want to explain where this is going to come from. his budget is $11 trillion to the debt. he's already increased the debt by $5 trillion in just over three years. >> we should note this plan passed the house but it has virtually no chance of passing in the senate, which is controlled by the democrats. the senate hasn't yet put forth its own plan but congresswoman, do you see areas of of compromi?

>> i think we have to but the ball ryan budget puts america on the road to ruins. we need to look at the buffett rule. warren buffet, he believes in fiscal responsibility. congressman grim stated that we have a deficit. yes, we do. and we also have an accumulated debt partially because of wars that have not been paid for. why should we be giving the wealthiest people in our country more tax cuts that we can't afford. the congressman and i have a love of the marine corps. every marine shoulders more than his oregon her share of the load. those at the top, the top 1%, why should we be giving them more tax cuts of $250,000 and more, billionaires, millionaires on wall street, for example, when the average family then will be asked to voucher out on medicare for their parents and their grandparents? when kids in school will have more difficulty paying for their

education? there's a fair and balanced way to do this, and anybody who is a marine noise trouble a better way to do it. i think there is room for compromise but the romney-ryan budget doesn't do it. >> medicare would be competing against private healthcare plans under the plan. explain the benefits of that idea. >> well, first of all, it does not affect our current. it doesn't affect anyone within 20 years of becoming a senior. that's a misnomer. and it's not avoucher program. it's not a voucher program, let's correct that. and there's a way to opt out also. this time the ryan plan gives an option to opt out of this. but i also want to mention one other thing. with all due respect to the congresswoman. we keep talking about the buffet rule. that's about $7 billion in increased revenue. here's the problem. you use that six different times. where are we going to use it? are we going to use it to pay down the debt? no. infrastructure, are are we going to use it for the other programs? you can't use the same $7 billion six different times

so it's misleading to the public to think it's going to solve the problems. it's $7 billion and it's barely scratching the surface. it's a drop in the buck. the other problem with medicare, if we do nothing with medicare, it is guaranteed to go broke. it's on a path to bankruptcy. that's what the medicare professionals are telling us now. that's what the trustees are saying. so we have no choice but to do something. the democrats plan is to do nothing and leave it as it is. >> let's let congresswoman come in. this plan also reduces corporate tax was the idea of stimulating the economy. you disagree with that theory? >> well, you know what, if they invest it in the usa, i'm all for it. i'm a jobs democrat. i know the way out of deficits and accumulated debt is to grow this economy. so you just can't keep giving money away to those who then take if offshore. we have to invest in this country. we have to invest in research and development, which the romney-ryan budget cuts, they also don't invest in education at the level that's important.

but they do give wall street billionaires more tax cuts. now what's fair about that? i disagree with what the gentlemen said about medicare. medicare is a compacted trust between generations. you don't severe one generation from another. this is something you do as a country. when you allow individuals to select plans that will cost more, what you are doing is you are charging the seniors more money. >> right. >> when we all come together in medicare we get the best price option. >> we will have to leave it. >> one question, what is the democratic plan to save medicare. >> we are so leave you with your question. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> thank you. it's been our pleasure. >> and for those looking for more on the budget debate, make sure you tune in to fox news sunday. the senate has yet to come up with a budget. we have some senators joining chris wallace on fox news sunday for an exclusive interview an that. chris will also have an exclusive live interview with presidential candidate newt gingrich. check your local listings for

the time and channel. let's check back in with peter doocy. he's live at the scene of the military jet crash in virginia beach. hi, peter. we are hearing that officials are optimistic everyone has been accounted for thankfully? >> that's right, patty ann. it was piloted by an experienced teacher and a student and we know it was a younger member of the flight crew, the student, s, who is apologizing to people in the apartments for crashing a plane into their apartment. i spoke to the man whose porch the pilot parachuted on to. he came out and asked him if he was okay. he said he was fine, he was just very, very apologetic, sag repeatedly he was sorry for crashing a plane into their roof. i spoke to another neighbor who lives up the block. he said the plane flew over his backyard just above the power lines, and the bay he sees it, these pilots are heros. listen here. >> the pilots did an incredible job. there was a small area of open

land and that's what those guys were shooting for. they came in, you know works the nose up and down and the amazing thing was the house over here, i actually, from seeing the plane as it came in, the plane had actually -- this is how low they were to the ground. the plane had disappeared before they popped the ejector seats. these guys road these things to the absolute last seconds. >> now the damage was devastating. the apartment manager just told me 64 apartments were burned and 42 were destroyed. authorities say everyone is accounted for and alive, but they aren't positive that there were no fatalities just yet and here's why. >> we have accounted for everybody on the apartment manifesto. we can't give 100% all clear because we don't know if there are guests or family members there. but nobody has been -- we have no reports of any missing people

at this time. >> and the governor of virginia, bob mcdonald, says it was an act of divine providence that nobody died here on good friday. >> live in virginia beach. thank you. a nuclear plant will stay close ford now. that's the word from the nuclear regulatory chair who just inspected the plant yesterday. of the plant has been off-line for more than two months. they say investigators still haven't figured out why tubes that carry radioactive water have been wearing away much faster than expected. the nuclear plant can provide almost 1.5 million homes with power. a happy end to go a story we brought you a few weeks ago. retired corporal, megan, has been reunited with her former partner, sergeant rex. if you remember she had been trying to adopt rex for some team but the process was tracked in bureaucratic red tape. the two served in iraq together

back in 2006 searching out ieds. one of those searches ended her military career. >> i was on patrol in iraq during the day, and there was insurgents watching us from afar and they detonated an ied when we got to a certain point. it was real scary, a long day for us. we got through together and recovered together after. just glad we are both here right now and this is able to happen. >> the military originally denied her request because she thought sergeant rex would be able to keep work being once he recovered from his own injuries. but when she heard rex was retiring, she began a new adoption effort. veterans group and senator chuck schumer help her efforts. north korea claims it is right on schedule for a controversial mid-april rocket launch. while the north koreans say they are sending up a research satellite, others call it a cover to test missile systems that could target the u.s. how concerned should we be?

this is my grandson. and if it wasn't for a screening i got, i might have missed being here to meet him. the health care law lets those of us on medicare now get most preventive care for free like annual wellness visits, immunizations, and some cancer screenings. and that's when they caught something serious on mine. but we could treat it before it was too late. i'll be around to meet number two! get the screenings you need. learn more at healthcare.gov. you don't want to miss any of this!

>> thousands of christians have gathered in the holy land to mark the each of easter. a candlelight vigil was held at the church of nativity in bethlehem. many more marched through the city. passover began last night. north korea is pushing forward with a long range missile test this month and threatening future tests. it is concerning to the u.s. and it's allies. gordan chang is the author of nuclear showdown. he joins us live from new york. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> in your estimation how long will it take for north korea to have a nuclear missile capable of hitting the u.s.? >> four years, january, 2011. robert gates said north korea

within five years would be able to hit the united states with a missile. so we are now one year closer to that. of course, the north korea answer have a nuclear are weapon. by four years they will shrink it, make it into a miss and hit any city with pinpoint accuracy. by then we will not have any reliable defense against it. >> you mentioned the two things that north korea needs to perfect for this to happen. they have to perfect the nuke itself and the missile to carry t they are expecting to lawn were a missile test in a couple weeks. you expect that to be followed by other tests. >> in two years they conducted miss i am tests and within months of those tests they detonate add nuclear twice. you have to remember they sell both miss also and nukes. i mean we wouldn't buy a car that doesn't work. while the iranians who are their customers aren't going to buy

missiles and nukes that don't explode. >> they did test these long-range missiles in 2006 and 2009. the missiles fell for the but how are you expecting these tests to go. >> i expect this one to be successful but is doesn't matter. a successful test or failure really provides information to help north korea an technicians to improve. even if it blows up within seconds of launch, the north korean are going to learn a lot to improve their missiles. >> if this is followed by a nuke test, which you expect, what type of device would be tested? >> well, the tests in 2006 and 2009 were plutonium devices. in november, 2010, north korea revealed to an american scientist it's uranium enrichment program. i expect the next test will be one with a uranium core. >> you feel the united states should send a message by shooting the missile out of the sky when it's launched later this month and there is un back

being through various un resolutions for us to take this move? >> no i think i don't think we should try to shoot it down. but we should do is immediately after it is launched is to impose the sanctions that the bush administration put in place in 2005. we cut north korea off from the global financial system and we should also impose the sanctions on chinese banks of that been involved in the sale of missiles and nukes to iran and syria. if we within to get beijing's attention, we need to do something to make them sit up and take notice. >> what is your view of the negotiations if you want to call them that thus far? >> well, we've been talking to the north koreans since 1993. we've had the six-party talks since august, 2003. you know, we haven't really gotten anything. what we have done, though, is given the north koreans time to perfect their missiles and their nuclear weapons and we've been doing it because china has been sort of sponsoring the north and giving us, it's delaying things

so the north koreans can make themselves a real threat. we need to get out of the cycle and do something effective. >> gordan chang, the author of nuclear showdown, north korea takes on the world. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> activists in syria say at least 53 people have been killed in the latest round of violence in that country. it comes a week before the deadline agreed to by the president, bizarre. the deadline for pullout is tuesday. am bass door said sear yu's government should know they are being watched and cannot hide the truth. >> a nightmare for any driver. up next we tell you what caused this truck to crash into a wall on an overpass. and rick santorum calls his home state a must-win but the policy show it is definitely not in the bag. could the end be near for this presidential hopeful?

we ask two popular radio hosts coming up.

>> authorities say it looks like everyone in the air and on the ground survived the crash of the navy jet into an apartment complex in virginia beach. it's the bottom of the hour and doug mckill way has the top stories. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. they said crews have carefully checked all the apartments and believe everybody has been accounted for. seven people, including the pilots, were treated for injuries. one pilot is still in the hospital. about 40 units were damaged in the crash. a pakistani official said there is no word on anyone survived during a himalayan avalanche. >> this weekend president obama is using his weekly media message to reflect on the holy

day, saying it gives us strength as we face the future. for their part, the republican message, they focused on energy saying there's an energy crisis and it is connected to the president's policies. and this is a great story, patty. oldest man to lead the masters golf tournament believes he can win it. 52-year-old fred couples made seven birdies, shot 5-under to share the runner-up jason duffer. they will pair off in the final pairing today. those are the top stories. they say if you can shoot your age in golf, it's a major, major milestone. fred couples has come pretty darn close to doing that. >> great for him. doug, thanks. >> sure thing. >> it is the age-old question, should you buy or rent. as fox news chief washington correspondent reports, the numbers say one thing but many people are doing the other. >> new parents, laura and vincent, feel like renting the last five years was a big-time

waste of money. and accordingly are excited about the home they just agreed to buy in northern virginia. >> with the mortgage rates as they are now, it seems like it's the best time to kind of grab them before they go back up. >> zillo.com report rental prices increased in nearly 70% of american cities last year while home prices increased in only seven% of cities. the wall street journal found from january, 2011 to january of this year median rents rose 3% while home prices fell in that same prices by nearly 5%. >> yet the national home ownership rate is down, even since 2010. fannie mae's national housing survey finds most americans believe interest rates will stay put or go down the next twelve months yet the same survey finds nine in ten americans saying it's unlikely they will purchase a home the next few years. mike insists on rent to go the tune of $4,000 a month. >> if i bought a place, the price of the house that i would have bought probably would have dropped in the time i rented

$100,000 or $200,000. >> but for most renters the chief obstacles is tight credit and the fragile job market. >> because we are coming outs of the recession, a lot of people are still unemployed or not secure enough about where they are in their job to be ready to buy. >> industry professionals caution those thinking of purchasing a home that with closing fees and other up-front costs they won't likely reap the benefits of buying versus renting unless they plan to stay in their new home at least ten years. in washington, james rosen, fox news. >> is it a win state for you? >> we have to prepare. >> people in pennsylvania know me. all of the negative attacks are here. [

>> may looks very, very good. >> the former senator from pennsylvania. his stake may lie in the voters in the of his home state. rick santorum said he will carry on despite the assumption that mitt romney will be the nominee. radio show host leslie har shall is here and mark davis. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. >> the polls now in santorum's home state show him losing possibly, others put him slightly up. his three-year-old daughter is sick, his wife is complaining he's never home, and the pressure is increasing from the gop for him to get out of romney's way. do you see santorum exiting? >> not now. >> sorry. i did ask leslie first. >> go ahead, leslie. >> ladies first, mark. basically i don't see him exiting right away. we have to remember in 2008, i

mean, we had a clash with democrats between our current president and now our current secretary of state, you know, barack obama and hillary rodham clinton until almost the end of june and he better just at the beginning of april. it still is enough time for him to get out. eventually he will get out and will have to get out, but as a democratic i say play on. you know, guys, keep playing, i'm loving it. >> here's what's funny because here's the thing and i'm intrigued by leslie's takes because i don't think she believes barack obama or hillary clinton were ill served by the long fight. and the republicans saying we have to get behind romney and we have to do it by may 1st, no, we don't. if that's the inevitable fate as a santorum guy, i think the romney candidate will be better than his harshest critics suggest. but in the meantime before we get to 1144, fight on. if pennsylvania giving reason for a continued fight, if our own primary in texas which is

still like the 29ing of may changes the story line, then let the story line be changed. why fear that? >> leslie, if santorum does bow out, what do you think his future might be, vision president or 2016 candidate? >> well, you know, i wouldn't -- i wouldn't rule out 2016 candidate. i don't know, my gut is saying he's not going to be the vp on the ticket. quite frankly, i mean, right now mitt romney is just saying who is going appeal to win it? because certainly that is the audience that we are seeing has a lot of -- or voters that have a lot of power. but when it comes to, you know, romney, and i've always said this, in the 11th hour democrats do it on the left, republicans do it on the right, most people will get behind that guy. so even those conservatives who view romney as more of a moderate and not a true conservative compared to santorum or gingrich, they will get behind him eventually just like i, a hillary gal, did get behind president barack obama in the 11th hour. >> mark, leslie mentioned women

-- >> just for ten seconds that's correct is the perfect analogy because all the i am bittered hillary people realized, obama is our guy, let's get behind them. 90% of republicans will do exactly the same thing. the newt people, and even some ron paul people. if mitt romney is the only way to end the presidency, there will be enthusiasm. >> thank you for make your point. the question is about the independent women who are going romney's way for a while, but now the polls show they are leaning toward obama. >> well, as most women are going to vote democrat. 55-45. whatever that might be. it is the republican nominee's job and all the candidates jobs and maybe some. the pundit's job to get through the ridiculous war on women nonsense. this is a war of principle. if some involves planned parenthood and abortion rights and forcing companies to offer

contraceptives, sobeit. conservative women feel fine about it. >> leslie, what about the economy? the latest numbers on job creation were a disappointment. the republicans clearly trying to capitalize on that, saying his policies have failed. >> well, this is going to happen. i mean, i say that at this point between now and november, barack obama walked on water, republicans would say it was low tied. so right now, you know, seriously the numbers are going to go up and down and we have said it. forecasters say we are going to look at summer. before september where economic forecasters are predicting, not only is there job growth, gas prices go down, that will help the president. on election day it is not just what the numbers are because americans are not just about numbers. all of we are. but the masses are about feelings. and honest perception. how they perceive the economy is in addition to what the number

one issue is. for women, for healthcare, for religious conservatives it might be, you know, abortion, roe v. wade, that kind. thing but that will go push to shove. but there will be democrats that vote democrats and republicans vote republicans. it's thend against of the women we are looking at in this election. >> mark davis, you will get the last word here. president obama's comments about the ryan plan being social darwin i am, the trojan horse, et cetera? >> i'm in shock of the world. president obama says the ryan budget is radical. he is absolutely correct. so is ending slavery, so is the election of reagan. it is sad, but true, that it is radical to talk about turning the ship of state in some responsible fiscal direction, getting i had are of a whole lot of government. it will make a whole lot of people freak out. once this radical agenda is undertaken, the good news is you will have more of your liberty and more of your money. >> thank you both for joining us today. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and what are you thinking at

home? it is your home to weigh in on the presidential race. should rick santorum stay in the race? why or why not? tweet your answers to us at anhqdc. we will read some of your response later in the hour. a scary moment for the driver of an armored truck in l.a. place say when the driver was cut off he swerved ask crashed through a guardrail. next thing he knew he was dangling over the interstate below. luckily no one was injured. the truck was dragged back on to the road and the money was transferred to another armored truck. we've all heard the warnings to turn off our cell phones and ipods before takeoff or else burks that could be changing. we are getting word the navy will beholding a press conference concerning the press conference in virginia beach. we are monitoring that live. we will bring it to you when it happens.

>> you are looking live at officials heading for a press conference concerning the scene in virginia beach right now. as you know, a military jet crashed there, a navy jet. luckily it sounds like everyone is accounted for. let's listen. >> immediately yesterday after the accident. and has just been -- he's just gone over the scene. he's been taken back just like me. we truly believe a miracle has occurred here with us not having any victims. that being said, we also talked about the way our first responders and all the other people involved in this situation worked so well together. if you sit back and think about it, we had our first responders, we had our citizens, we had the state police, we had the navy, and it goes on and on and on. and the best thing is they all worked very well together.

i speak on behalf of the city, and i cannot state it strong enough how proud i am of our citizens and our staff and orb professionals of that been working here now well over 24 hours. and for that they have done a wonderful job and i'm grateful. thank you for taking the time to come over, admiral, and evaluate the situation. i just want you to know that we appreciate all the navy has done for our city, our region, our commonwealth and our country on a daily basis. we are sorry you are going through this today but please know the city of virginia beach is here to support the navy now more than ever with what they are going through. >> thank you, mr. mayor. it is very important for me to get out here today and get with not only mayor sessoms, but with

all the wonderful, terrific, professional first responder from virginia beach fire, police, the emergency medical technicians, and be able to thank them directly for the extraordinarily superb response they provided immediately after the accident and as the mayor said, nonstop for the last 24 hours in dealing with the aftermath of the accident. it was also very important for me to actually put eyes on the site, see what the citizens of virginia beach went through, what they lost, and what they have sacrificed in this accident and to express again my thanks to the mayor for the extraordinary demonstration of courage that so many of the citizens of this apartment complex showed immediately after the accident. it was citizens that dragged our aircrew to safety, out of the fire zone. it was citizens that stepped up and helped move those hoses. it was citizens who evacuated

the other inhabitants of the apartment complex and got that going and saved them from the fires that went through those buildings. it was a pretty amazing display in virginia beach of what citizenship really means, and it came from an awful lot of people who didn't have an awful lot. so i stand in awe of the people here. i stand in awe of what mayor sessoms has delivered in terms of the support to the navy at a very difficult time for us. and i'm very proud of this partnership. it will continue into the future. we will learn from this and we will make the future better for all of us. so thank you very much, mr. mayor, and more importantly, thanks to the people of virginia beach and the chief, the fire chief, police chief, and their troops who did so much to keep this amazing miracle going where no one died that we know of so far in this accident. thank you. any questions? >> can you bring us up-to-date with the investigation, what you know, what may have triggered

the crash? >> i you know, the investigation has just got underway. >> you are listening to admiral john harvey, the commander of u.s. fleet forces of the u.s. navy. before him we heard from the virginia beach mayor, will sessoms. both of them praising the other and also the work done by the citizens of virginia beach. this all in the wake of a navy jet crashing into an apartment complex in virginia beach. miraculously at this point they are cautiously saying that it looks as though there have been no fatalities. forty apartment units in the complex were destroyed. there was a dramatic scene, fire and rescue effort going on. but at this point it looks as though everyone has been accounted for, as the admiral was saying as we ended. an investigation is just beginning into why that training jet malfunctioned, but the city of virginia beach saying they

are still 100% behind the navy, which has done a lot for their city and for the country. we have a lot more coming up so stay with us on fox news. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. fohalf the calories plus vgie nutrition. could've had a v8.
