>> good morning, everyone. it's saturday, march 2nd. thanks for joining us bright and early. i'm alisyn camerota. sink hole nightmare in florida. a man still missing after the earth opened up and swallowed his entire bedroom. >> floyd jumped in the hole -- so i jumped in the hole and tried to get him out. i couldn't get him out. ail could do is hear him screaming for me and i couldn't do nothing. >> more from his brother who tried to rescue him straight ahead. >> a special delivery, why one woman says fedex delivered pot to her house and then gave her address to drug dealers. oops? how did that happen? >> the world on time what war on women. women outearning their husbands. bringing home the bacon and cooking it too. that sounds delicious. can we get some in here. "fox & friends" begins right now.

>> good morning, everybody. thanks so much for joining us. great to be with you guys. >> nice to see you guys. just a captivating story. you hear about these sink hole stories where one woman open your front door and the front jarred missing. and people being swallowed by this. this is a story captivating the nation this morning. >> this is in florida, a massive sink hole and under a guy's bedroom and suddenly in the middle of the night, thursday night it swallowed him up. this man has been identified as jeff bush, while he was sleeping in his bedroom. he was only 26 years old. a man jumped in the hole to try to rescue him to rescue his brother after he heard the large crash. >> ail could see was this big hole and all i could see was the tops of his bed. i couldn't see nothing else. i jumped in the hole and tried digging him out. i couldn't get him.

all i could hear is i thought i heard him screaming for me to help him. i couldn't do nothing. >>the investigation and the search continues this morning but mr. bush is feared dead at this point. joining us now with the latest is the assistant fire chief of miami fire rescue. and the task force leader of urban's search and rescue team joseph. joseph, thanks a lot for joining us. can you give us some sense of why this happened? >> well, down in florida, we do have certain areas that are prone to sink holes in its most basic form it occurs because we have acidic water, usually rainwater run-off that seems into the ground. effects the substrate in this particular straight line still. >> where is this investigation? have they made any progress? we know there is engineering equipment had been dropped down into that area to try to find signs of life. do we know where that stands this morning? >> you have hillsborough

county that is actually working the scene and conducting the investigation. and our urban search and rescue team within the city of miami has not been called to assist with this. we actually do have other florida task forces. and, in this particular case florida task force three. in hillsborough county has been called to assist. >> you can help us understand what happens in somebody falls into a sink hole? we understand 20 feet deep. 30 feet wide. it's not just a hole that somebody falls into. what happens after the earth caves in. >> well, basically what have you is an undermining of the structure immediately underneath the surface of the earth that causes a compromise and basically anything within that area begins to fall into that cavity and that seems to be the case here. the difficulty that you have in this particular

situation is the fact that it's happened within the confines of a house, so it makes that reconnaissance. that information-gathering and an actual rescue if it were to occur very difficult. normally we would use the assistance of cameras whether they were mounted to helicopters and in many cases we actually use media as an aide and he we would put them up in the air and gather information from that footage. but as you can see with this particular scene, it's very disif for them to do that. >> is there any warning if had you a sink hole under your house, would you know? >> well, typically your warning signs include a compromise of the actual structure itself. you might start seeing cracks in the foundation. cracks in the walls. indicate that the ground is beginning to weaken beneath an actual structure. >> i'm sure a lot of neighbors there in that neighborhood are probably wondering whether or not their house is also at risk

is it likely that those houses are next house with a sink hole are at risk? >> currently on the scene the actual investigators would be determining whether or not the sink hole had the ability to expand and if it did, how far or what the potential would possibly be. >> >> chief joseph thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate you giving us insight into this. if your task force gets called on this. we know there may be a larger issue at play. thanks so much, chief. >> as i understand it the houses around there have been evacuated because you never know how wide the sink hole is going to expand and it's a precarious situation as they try to do a rescue. they can fall in themselves and be crushed. >> where sink holes are prevalent. actually a family friend lived right next door to a sink hole that happened in california. walked out one morning to get the newspaper and entire yard was a massive sink hole. other states prone to this.

texas. you have alabama. kentucky. dissolves. >> the ground water corrodes something. >> later in the show. definitely. >> get to your headlines. other news if you are just waking um. fox news alert. made a deal this morning as you know. that means that $85 billion in automatic spending cuts are in effect for the federal government now. president obama signed the order late last night after he could not reach a compromise with congress. the president wanted to replace the cuts with revenue, meaning higher taxes and spreading the cuts out over time. the republicans rejected any plan that included tax increases. >> a choice that republican misn. congress have made. they have allowed these cuts to happen because they refuse to budge on closing a single wasteful loophole

to help reduce the deficit. >> but, let's make it clear that the president got his tax hikes on january 1st. this discussion about revenue, in my view, is over. it's about taking on the spending problem here in washington. the government says the reductions will soon result in furlough notices to employees and there will be less spending on defense contracts and domestic programs. well, a top al qaeda leader was killed in battle in northern mali. abu zi e.d. the reports of his death appear to be credible. >> chicago lottery win's death from cyanide poisoning homicide.

the autopsy done on his exhumed body found no poison left. the medical examiner says there was no way to determine whether he ate or inhaled the poison or interjected. the family says they are disappointed with those results. >> i was not surprised but i was hoping that something would have come out of these test results where they could have found something. >> how got into the body. >> the autopsy also revealed a severe blockage in a major coronary artery. >> that probably increased the effectiveness of the cyanide. died on the same day his $425,000 check was mailed. his body was exhumed in january after his family raised suspicions about his death. massachusetts woman is suing a fedex after mistakenly delivering the pot. she thought the package was a birthday package for her daughter until she

discovered. an hour later people showed up looking for the package. police arrested them but tobin is concerned about the family's safety now that the deerlings know where she lives. >> how is that a mistake? is it normal to fedex to go and provide addresses to drug dealers, rick? >> presumably they didn't know they were spotted. >> how does this work? >> i didn't know that you could fedex pot in the first place. >> who knew that. >> if you can't even fedex wine over state boundaries but you can fedex pot. >> and especially to people's kids. >> are you enjoying winter? >> i love it. >> this is that time of year where it's both creeping. still have a little bit to deal with it's almost over. still have snos snow in fact. people across the south if you are waking up. north georgia seeing a few snow flurries in places like nashville a few snow

flurries. snow and cold can across the southeast. remain cold all weekend. out across the west you are looking fine right now. pacific northwest rain and snow. there is a system way up here in alaska that is is going to be a west coast storm wednesday and thursday of this -- an east coast storm wednesday and thursday where we could be talking about a big coastal storm. maybe a blizzard and a lot of snow again across parts of the east. we have got some winter storm advisories. winter weather advisories across areas of the south. could see a little bit of snow so. bridges and overpasses and such in areas of the south. these are your temps as you are waking up. cold, cold down across florida. today's highs are only going to get into for the night. tomorrow night another cold one. not until monday that you are going to warm up down there unfortunately. all right, guys, back to you. >> thanks, rick. coming up on the show. terrifying moments inside a bus full of people all caught on camera. watch this. how two passengers were able to save the day after

the driver fainted. >> wait until you hear all about the waste that could waste that could have been cut. climate change musical. still paying for that. congressman greg walters is here with the details. dad, i'd put that down. ah. 4g, huh? verizon 4g lte. 700 megahertz spectrum, end-to-end, pure lte build. moe most consistent speeds indoors or out. and, obviously, astonishing throughput. obviously... you know how fast our home wifi is? yeah. this is basically just as fast. oh. and verizon's got more fast lte coverage than all other networks combined. oh, why didn't you just say that? huh-- what is he doing?

you know, from car insurance companies shouting, "save 500 bucks over here!" "no, save 300 bucks over here!" "wait, save 400 bucks right here." with so many places offering so much buck-saving,

where do you start? well, esurance was born online, raised by technology, and majors in efficiency. so they're actually built to save you money... and time... and whiplash. esurance. now backed by allstate. click or call. >> i am not a dictator. i'm the president. so, ultimately, if mitch mcconnell or john boehner we need to go and catch a plane. i can't have secret service block the doorway. i know this has been some of the conventional wisdom floating around washington that somehow, even though

most people agree that i'm being reasonable, most people agree i'm presenting a fair deal. the fact that they don't take it means that i should somehow, you know, do a jedi mind meld, if there was a secret way to do that, i would have tried it >> it's not my fault, says president obama, but wait until you hear some of the remarkable and ridiculous government waste that could have been cut. joining us now is oregon congressman greg wall den. also the chairman of the national republican congressional committee. congressman, thanks for joining us. >> tucker, thanks for being with us this morning. >> we heard how we are going to be cutting kindergarten teachers and first responders. it turns out we could be cutting a lot of other things. going through a list. apparently the federal government is paying for a climate change musical? >> yeah, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars for a climate change musical. yet we don't have money for tsa agents to get you through the airport.

>> we are literally freeing criminal illegal aliens. >> yes, before the sequester by the way they opened the doors, the gates to the prisons. >> how could something like a climate change musical escape scrutiny? >> these are the things in washington when the president says we have got to have higher taxes, higher taxes on working americans, you say wait a minute. we have a spending problem in washington. >> i would say we are spending $325,000 for robotic squirrels? >> robotic squirrels. they are looking for nuts in washington. it's plentiful there. this is the sorts of things. these are the sorts of things that americans then say half the money spent in washington is probably wasted. and this is where we need a president that, you know, he talked about jedi mind meld. come on, even darth vader wouldn't have spread so much pain and fear across america if he were implementing the cuts the way the president is trying to. >> my understanding was that the senate tried to give the president authority. >> yes. >> offered authority to make more targeted cuts and the white house turned that down? >> that's my understanding as well. and twice the house both in

may and in december passed legislation tot senate that cut the same amount from federal spending but did it in a thoughtful common sense way. a lot of us are managers. i was in business for 22 years. this isn't the way you operate. the president could have been our partner in that instead he was aol. >> we are furloughing tsa workers. this is the fabled three hour waits we might be facing at the airport airport. the federal government is paying $100,000 a year hard begin. >> irs studio $4 million a year. they have a tv studio. i don't know what it looks like. it must be even nicer than this $4 million a year. 4 million of your dollars a year gets spent by the irs for a television studio. and we can't have enough tsa agents? >> i bet you they don't put on very compelling programming over at the irs. >> i was going to say.

>> i bet it's also nicer than this studio which is pretty unbelievable. nasa development to mars. instead we are not cutting it we are furloughing border patrol agents. >> you see why people think congress and washington is just in outerspace. wasting a million bucks to come up with a menu on what to eat on the way to mars. really? really? >> we're spending 1.6 million on video games developed by nasa. here is my question though. >> yes, sir. >> wouldn't it make sense for the republicans in the house to come up with a list, push that list. >> yes. >> over to the white house and publicize that list of pointless programs like this and be done? >> let's face it while these are wasteful and not huge dollar amounts they're indiggive of the problem. the big issues. the gao came up federal government spent $115 billion in 2011. on payments that weren't appropriate. in other words, they paid

people and contractors money they shouldn't have received. that's where the real money is these draw attention to the problem but there is real money being wasted in washington. $115 billion in misplaced payments. why don't we start there the sequester is $85 billion. there are big pots of wasted money that we could actually address, meaningful change and spending in washington and not transfer this huge debt burden not only to the next generation but as a depression the economy. it's part of why our economy isn't working well and people aren't getting jobs. >> something consider waiting three lines in the airport. thanks for joining us. >> tucker, good to be with you this morning, thanks. >> a christian leading a christian group. that's discrimination according to one college. we'll report. we will let you decide on that. as our legal eagle jona spill bore and liz wiehl debate it next. and fast food chain wendy's getting a makeover. find out how they are changing their restaurant. that's coming up.

cheeseburger and spend a few hours. >> i do love the frosty. >> christian student group no longer allowed to have christian leaders. rollins college in florida is the latest school to make this rule. the college says the intravarsity christian fellowship can no longer meet on campus. that's really the rule or be considered an official group because the group insists on keeping christian leaders is this legal? let's ask our experts. here to debate is attorney jona spill bore and lis wiehl. rollins college, johnna, said that the leaders of train varsity cannot solely be christian. they want their leaders to be christian. >> they are not excluded. i don't think what the college is doing is saying that you can't be christian. they are saying you don't have to be christian. >> you have got to walk the walk.

>> i don't think it is discrimination because it is open to anybody to join. it's just that the leaders -- as you said, alisyn, it's a christian fellowship. they have to say yes, i'm christian. and that's why i want to be the leader. this is also a private school, so the rules are a lot looser for private schools than public schools. >> alisyn: this is happening on campuses around the country, what they are trying to do is adhere to antidiscrimination policies. in other words, if you flip it on its head and said only jewish students can apply to be president of the class, clearly that's discrimination. however, when it comes to a christian group wanting their represent pifs to reflect their own believes. why wouldn't that be allowed. >> it's about mope. people who go there are getting aid to go there it

this comes down to fares amendment issue where the school probably can't accept funds or they can't discriminate against people because of their religion. that's why they have the blanket policies. but the group can still get around that. >> the problem is in their zeal to not discriminate they are discriminating against a group of people. christians fundamentally who want to sign off on this. it's a reverse discrimination thing going on here. you were saying other colleges. yes, university of new york and buffalo. and university of michigan went through this exact same thing and they backed off from this policy. saying we are not going to go forward. >> interesting. let me at tell what you rollins college says. the principal of the nondiscrimination policy which are at the heart of the educational process are inconsistent with allows exceptions for student organizations. such exemptions would be inconsistent with the processes of learning and growth that the college seeks to foster. >> as long as the group is all inclusive, which it is, then it's not saying you can't. >> is it all inclusive if

they say you can't have christian leaders. >> not only leaders. just saying, first of all, use your common sense. a non-christian really going to want to be a leader in a christian fellowship group? probably not. would a non-christian want to join the fellowship group? maybe. maybe to find out about it sure, got that that's completely open to. have your leaders to be something that are reflecting your values just make common sense. this does run afew of common sense. >> it does seem to run afoul of common sense. that's what i think in order to get around it, the group has to appear to be more open. as you pointed out, if you are not christian, you are probably not going to want to lead that group. this group is is a tiny group. it's 15 members. >> sadly now rollins college says they are not allowed to meet on campus anymore. the place they have been meeting for years they are not allowed to unless this christian group adheres to opening up their leadership to anybody, they can't meet on campus. >> isn't that depriving these students, these kids of their fundamental rights as well, their first amendment rights if you

don't adhere to this you are out of here. you can't even have this. >> mixing the religion with the government aspect, with the funding aspect, i think that's where we run afoul. >> i don't think it's a funding issue. private school again. >> we would love to hear what you all have to say about. this you can find us on twitter find me on twitter at alisyn camerota. thanks for the debate. growing number of wives are actually outearning their husbands. that's right. they are bringing home the bacon. it's not quite that easy. we will explain the nitty gritty of that study. like a scene out of the movie speed. terrifying moments all caught on camera. how two passengers were able to spend the day after their driver was incapacitated.

do you understand why we're in this situation in the first place now? it's starting to become clear. [ applause ] >> using a broken aba cass. truer words have never been spoken. that's right, no deal. president obama signing an order that authorized the sequester. it's now in effect. 8 a billion dollars in automatic spending cuts. those kick in immediately. what will this mean for you. >> fox news peter doocy is is here to tell us who will feel the pain and when. hi, peter. >> hi, alisyn. the cuts that will impact people most directly are the furloughs. some agencies have already sent notices to their employees saying that they are going to be forced to take 14 days of unpaid leave between april and september. here are some of the important dates coming up. march 26th. those furloughs begin one day later. march 27th. the temporary budget that's funding the government expires a government shutdown is possible. a few weeks later in the

middle of april, democrats in congress need to come up with a budget blueprint and a month or so after that, the debt ceiling will need to be raised again if america wants to pay its bills. this calendar is spread out over several months. and president obama says that's how long it's going to take to feel the pain. >> just to make the final point about the sequester, we will get through this. this is not going to be an apocalypse i think as some people have said. it's just dumb. and it's going to hurt. it's going to hurt individual people and it's going to hurt the economy overall. >> lawmakers in the house are trying right now to figure out how to best protect our national security interests so they are getting set to vote on a bill next week that will give agencies a little leeway when trying to figure out where to cut so the cuts are less arbitrary. >> we have already got an agreement with the democrats on how to fund the pentagon and other

military based agencies like veterans. we're going to pass that next week which gives us the flexibility to put these cuts in place in a better way. to go after waste, fraud and abuse, to go after low priority spending instead of high priority spending. >> and outside of washington, small businesses, especially in towns with military bases are bracing now for a ripple effect because their bottom lines are going to suffer if their customer bases have less money to spend because they are furloughed. back to you in new york. >> alisyn: oh boy. thanks for breaking that down. i'm getting tired of rolling catastrophic deadlines. every month. now we're in march and we have to wait until march 27th when the government could shut down there is another catastrophic deadline. >> stuart varney did his show outside yesterday and called it sky fall. yesterday was the end of the world yesterday. and then we find out actually when it begins. we have another month to begin to see some of these problems. >> everything is going to be okay. the best is when the

president says it's not going to be apocalypse as some have predicted. >> some? >> didn't you just predict that? >> some? i think i was here when the president predicted an apocalypse. >> break down the sequester further for you so you know what to expect this month. meanwhile get to your headlines and tell you what other news is happening at this hour. 2,000 illegal immigrants have been released to jail thanks to sequester budget cuts. significantly higher than the 200 quoted by the obama administration. they plan to release another 3,000 this month. earlier in week janet napolitano apologized for how this whole situation was handled after coming under heavy criticism. attorneys for the colorado movie theater shooting suspect want a judge to rule on the constitutionality of the state's insanity defense laws before their clients enters a plea. colorado law says the defendant who pleads not guilty by reason of insanity must cooperate with court appointed

psychiatrists which james holmes' attorneys say could violate his rights not to incriminate himself. holmes is charged with multiple counts of first degree murder and attempted murder in the july shooting rampage. two women in poland being hailed as heros after driver fainted and dramatic rescue was all caught on camera. [screams] >> that is scary. 20 passengers on board screamed in panic as they watched the driver fall out of his seat. two women sprung into action and took control of the wheel. the bus swerved all over the wheel narrowly missing oncoming traffic. the women eventually regained control and stopped the bus. amazingly no one was hurt. the driver was taken to the hospital for tests. florida firefighters come to the rescue of a baby raccoon who got a can stuck on his head. the animal was dropped off outside the coral spring

from bowling green university of all of that census data we got shows that women are outperforming men had this comes to earning salary in the household. is there now this sort of bringing moment bacon and men are sort of sitting around or is this changing? >> if there is a war on women, women are winning. >> long-term trend since the recession began in 2008. men have been disproportionately hurt by. this add to that and there are a lot of reasons why. add to that the fact that women now graduate from college in much higher numbers than men, women, of course, live longer. women are much more likely to initiate divorces after 40. women are in the drivers seat. >> there is a big asterisk to this study. not that just women are earning the big bucks and we're rolling in the dough. it's that men's earnings have dropped. that's why women's earnings in two income households have gone up. wives in dual earner couples contributing greater in 2006.

238%. in 2011. not a huge spike. it's really more a testament to what's happened to men. >> ally, that is exactly the point. there has been a collapse. charles wrote a whole book on this actually last year. the problem with this and people snicker about it is have you a society in which the average man can't support a family? that has all kinds of consequences for the way your society is structured. things fall apart. >> i agree. the psychological and power dynamic. expect the not. stereotype of the men to earn more or to be the bred earner. and women, though, obviously they are in the workforce. there is still that power dynamic that men, we think, supposedly earn more. so when that comes apart, then. >> we talked about this here on the show. psychologically it can lead to divorce. when the men don't feel, you know, i guess, i don't know. maybe we have this caveman style thing like you hang out here in the cave. i'm going to kill the bear and bring it home. if i'm immasculated and i

can't kill the bear anymore. you have psychological. i'm not a doctor. i didn't go to medical school. i want to clear about that. >> i'm going to quit coming to you about analysis. >> i'm not a doctor but i will look. >> the problem is that men split. if they can't be the lead of household and they leave and they don't raise their children no man in the house the children suffer. it's complicated. >> let us know if you have seen evidence of this in your household? >> rick, stop coming to me for checkup. >> coming up we set up a cave out here and there is a bear in it clayton to see if you wrestle it. see if you feel good about yourself. >> it's cold. you got a cold morning for a lot of people especially out across the eastern part of the country. take a look at the weather maps and can you see what's going on. cold air settled down across the panhandle of florida and northern part of florida. new orleans you are only 39 degrees. a chilly one down there. 33 in dallas. that cold air in the southeast is going to be with us for a another couple mornings. get ready your probably

do an interview in such situations. we will come right back from this break and try to get gene's audio up and working. the president sent warnings about the sequester but then waited until the 11th hour to meet with congress. what's behind the mind set of those who is waiting for the last moment to address key decisions. ask gene ablow about that procrastination. women are packing on the pounds because they're not doing enough housework. i'm not saying. this i'm just reading. this i promise you. take a closer look at a new study stirring up a lot of controversy. again, i'm just reading it don't shoot the messenger. we'll be right back. humans. even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems.

namely, other humans. which is why at liberty mutual insurance, to policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what ee comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy? ah. 4g, huh? verizon 4g lte. 700 megahertz spectrum, end-to-end, pure lte build. moe most consistent speeds indoors or out. and, obviously, astonishing throughput. obviously... you know how fast our home wifi is? yeah. this is basically just as fast. oh. and verizon's got more fast lte coverage than all other networks combined. oh, why didn't you just say that? huh-- what is he doing?

>> call it sequestration procrastination. save say that five times fast. the president spent last five weeks telling everybody how terrible sequestration would be for this country but they waited until the last day. >> this 11th hour mind set on capitol hill seems to be happening more and more often. fox news contributor dr. keith ablow is here to attempt to explain this. dr. ablow with the fiscal cliff, with the debt ceiling, with see sequestration they take us right up to the edge and usually at the 11th hour, at 11:59 p.m. they come up with a deal this time we didn't with sequestration. is this procrastination or something else going on? >> it's one of two things. both with the same source because here's the thing. who pro-crass continue united states? always it it's folks

seeking to avoid some kind of pain or discomfort. it's kids who don't want to do their homework until the 11th hour. it's folks who don't want to stop eating so they can lose weight because, why? it's going to be uncomfortable. they are not going to be able to feel as much pleasure. i think our legislators, similarly, at least on one side of the aisle, have had the same mind set. which is we don't want to feel any pain so why do we have to sequester anything? can't we come up with some way to avoid any discomfort at all? >> more broadly about procrastination in this country we will do segments about taxes right up until tax day. and invariably we will ask folks and many of us sitting on the couch will admit hey we haven't done our taxes yet. we wait until the last minute. or in college waiting for the last anyone to write that paper or waiting for the last minute to buy that president for your mother on mother's day. do we have a procrastination problem in this country. >> three broad groups.

if you are feeling hopeless or depressed, you may not have the energy and the concentration to attack a task. so there is a listlessness. secondly, if you are, in fact, seeking to avoid discomfort. the focuses who say all my receipts are over there in that room, but i'm not going in there because it's going to be painful to sort it out. thirdly, there are some people who work better once they procrastinate because it focuses them because they become stressed out and then laser beam focused. in america we are on this terrible path where nobody wants to feel any discomfort at all. hence we are in that middle group where people don't want to stress themselves out. that's where all these entitlements have come from like let's not really let's just entitle people to better they should. this is no different than these people who have come to me who have waited to come through detox. if you wait longer it's going to be worse when you get there. >> so you are describing government spending as in

fact an addiction. what's your prescription for that. is there is a 12 step program. >> essentially when a patient finally comes to my office and says doc i got my third dui. i want to go to detox. >> i want to say okay, thank god, let's go. this is that first step. it's where people say finally, look, we refuse to take more drinks or smoke more marijuana or give more entitlements and spend so freely. and so whichever party is the one that says no. we're throwing all the bottles of alcohol right out the window. there is not going to be that in this house. words chosen intentionally. better because you always have to feel some pain dr. keith ablow, an

interesting prescription. we will see if they have hit rock bottom and if they are ready to go to detox. >> first it was the scare. did he play his hand. >> injured iraq war veteran gets to play on his field of dreams. how he made it to the major leagues. hear from him at the top of the hour.

good morning, it's saturday, march alisyn camerota. first sky was falling and then not a big deem. which one is it. is the president back

pedaling and did he overplay his hand. we report you decide. >> a man sitting on a geological sink hole follows bedroom while is he sleeping. can this happen to you? depends on where you live. details coming up new study. >> i'm about to become obese new study that links chores to losing pounds we have the numbers to show you, "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> do you agree with that, by the way? we will get more into it. do you do any housework at all? >> i. no. >> have you ever done housework. >> know haven't. >> you have done housework. >> i don't mind housework. >> dusting? >> i like vacuuming. >> that's a good weight loss. tell you a little more about that coming up. >> we will talk all about

success station is officially happening the question is did the sky fall or will it? obviously nothing was going to happen this morning today. are still some catastrophic things going to happen? or are are they not in the administration has been all over the map with. this for the record i feel fine. >> i feel fine this morning, too. if you were listening to the rhetoric in the weeks leading up to this moment? i felt like oh my gosh, armageddon. bruce willis was going to have to get on an aircraft and knock out an asteroid. if you listened to the president the last couple of weeks this is is what he to say. listen. >> in a few days congress might allow a series of immediate, painful, arbitrary budget cuts to take place, known in washington as the sequester. >> now, if congress allows this meat cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness. it will eviscerate job

creating investments in education and energy and medical research. >> federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. [in unison] >> air traffic controllers and airport security will see cut backs which means more delays at airports across the country. >> is is the president traveling with ominous orchestra or did we merry that sound? >> i think the point is clear. millions will die. >> i gotcha. >> saying the same things multiple times and talking about air traffic controllers. >> i got that part. >> in multiple airports in multiple locations. the president on friday looked at the president kind of reversed course and said it's not going to be that bad. listen. >> the good news is the american people are strong and they are resilient. they have fought hard to recover from the worst economic crisis since the great depression and we will get through this as well. even with these cuts in place. folks all across this country will work hard to make sure that we keep the

recovery going. i want to be very clear here it is absolutely true that this is not going to precipitate the kind of crisis we talked about with america defaulting and some of the problems around the debt ceiling. i don't anticipate a huge financial crisis but people are going to be hurt. we will get through. this this isn't going to be an apalm lips. >> do you know what is is so funny about that? it's actually comforting to hear the president saying the american hermine are resilient. we will get through. this it is not going to be disastrous. those are words that are actually comforting when you hear the president say it he hasn't. that's not usually his tone. >> you wonder who is whipping up the public into this frenzy in who was going on about the apocalypse, who was scaring old people and terrifying granny? wait, could it have been president obama himself? >> because fear works in

politics. we know this from a long history of fear-based politics. people going out there and trying to drum up and scare people into moving into action. sent out the calls to action. let's be clear about what happened yesterday. first of all, i was looking at this, the dow jones yesterday hit an all-time high on this news. 14,000 points yesterday. wall street responded to this. warren buffet yesterday told his ceos and investors, ignore it ignore it it's not a big deal. >> it's not good actually for the economy and markets understand this when you are not realistic about your spending, if you are spending more than you are bringing in you will go bankrupt. >> nice to hear your president say regardless of what the crisis is we will all get through it o'reilly last night talked about how the president's message has not always been that. >> >> what we do know is that president obama and his party tried to skater american people into pressuring the republicans to allow mr. obama to

continue the insane federal spending. that's exactly what happened. now mr. obama is trying to walk that back because republicans are simply not going to cooperate with him until he begins discussing serious spending cuts. it's very simple. the president wants spending that will vastly expand the already catastrophic debt. republicans say enough. if we don't start imposing fiscal discipline the country is going to go bankrupt. >> then you have the rnc chair coming out yesterday as well saying he thinks republicans could use this as a learning opportunity on how to work with the president or not work with him because of these tactics. listen to prebusiness. >> i think the republicans learned a pretty good lesson here this week. the president overbehind this thing almost like y 2 k. he couldn't -- sometimes you have got to call this

president's bluff. we are not talking about a massive cut here in spending at all. we are talking about a minor cut in the growth of spending. and i think our country wants to see us get serious about spending in this country. i think our party learned a good lesson about standing up to this president. >> but by the same token you can't underplay it, i think. priebus is saying we learned a lesson, sky is not falling. no big deal. three weeks from now march 26th the furloughs do begin. and that will effect people and effect their pocketbooks and effect their economy. there will be a ripple effect. we don't know exactly what it is. today it's not a catastrophe and maybe it never will be. >> to the president's own words we are a resilient country. whole idea if a single federal worker is furloughed for a week. untrue. we can make it, actually. can you find sensible cuts. you probably don't need to fire that many people to reduce government waste. >> so the real story is that we have a month to figure out where these sensible cuts would take place. all of this hype and

craziness was larrying people up for nothing because now this is when the real negotiations will take place on friday when they had that little photo op. there. that's all it was a photo op. now they will have closed door negotiations and they will hopefully come to some sort of agreement on cuts. >> i'm sure this will happen. this whole process hasn't gotten me jaded at all. >> your cynicism is -- >> the man sleeping inside is still growing bigger at this hour and make take the entire house down. engineers will be out today. more tests they say the ground underneath that house sex extremely unstable. jeffrey bush was 26 years old, he was in his bedroom thursday night when this collapsed under him. his brother jumped into the sink hole and tried to save him but no avail. more than 20 feet deep right now. the experts call the situation unprecedented. >> the difficulty that you have in this particular situation is the fact that

it happened within the confines of a house. so it mays that reconnaissance. that information gathering and an actual rescue if it were to occur very difficult. >> jeffrey bush is presumed dead. officials say they will demolish part of the home so they can try to recover his body. >> well, the state department released a new environmental review of the proposed keystone pipeline saying other alternatives would be worse for the climate. but they stopped short of endorsing the controversial plan. the report says tar sands are likely to be developed whether or not the pipeline is built from canada to texas. the keystone pipeline would only release the same amount of global warming solution as 225 passenger cars do. president obama is expected to make his final decision on the plan sometime this summer. >> no one will get a jackpot until a group of indiana hairstylists work

out their legal fight first. >> like a cat fight. >> one of the women says she bought the winning ticket for herself. but seven of her co-workers disagree. saying it was part of their lottery pool. they apparently had a rule that any winning tickets bought at the same time as the pool tickets would be split between the group. that's a problem. talk about determination. this is daniel doc jacobs trying out for the los angeles dodgers. the iraq war veteran lost part of his left leg when the ied exploded. he has since undergone 50 surgeries for his injury. the hero came on fox news to talk about being invited to try out by legendary dodger's manager tommy la sort that. >> is he like can you hit a baseball? i said yes i i can he said you are going to come out and dry tort dodgers, yesterday was the dream come true not just the child in me but as a leader with the disabled veterans around the nation. >> jacobs later threw out the ceremonial first

picture at dodger's spring training game. those your headlines. >> you know those office pools. we tried some of those office pools before. >> did you secretly win and not tell us? >> no. we always have to send each other pictures of the winning numbers. >> why did you drive a lamborghini to work this morning? >> that was stolen. >> didn't know that you had. >> has a camera out there. maybe we should get a legal binding document next time so this sort of cat fight between hairstylist doesn't happen. >> the cat fight here is much worse. >> freeze warnings down across parts of the south. tonight and again there will probably be one tomorrow night here across parts -- a little farther towards the south. the cold air is in place one more cold night here in the central gulf. you get some improvement tomorrow. east take longer. don't improve until monday and monday night. temperatures are cold out there. you see these tempts below freezing. nashville 30 degrees. there is snow in the area. some of that snow could stick on some of the

untreated surfaces. probably most of the surfaces are untreated because there is is not a ton of snow. bridges and overpass. take it easy us a are heading out across parts of the southern appalachians. we will see some of that snow. certainly don't generally see that this time of year. >> out across the west we are looking fine for the most part a storm moving in more rain and mountain snow in towards the cascades. that's going to be a storm wednesday or so for parts of the mid-atlantic. talking about a pretty significant snow storm like washington, d.c. and baltimore. possibly in towards the northeast. a long ways out of it so we'll continue to tweet that first alert forecast. d.c. at this point looks like the one spot we will be watching. meanwhile today. here are your temps. still cool all around parts of the great lakes. gnome towards the south you get a really nice warm up. year talk about phoenix. looks so nice 85 tomorrow. 82. clayton, how about that? >> beautiful. not your normal 110 is degrees in phoenix. >> that's true. >> thanks, rick. >> what's coming up? >> i will tell you. >> alisyn, is the white

house trying to silence whistleblowers? a new memo sent to central agencies has some thinking yes. caught on camera, an officer going beyond the call of duty to save a man's life after he stops breathing that inspiring story straight ahead. more than two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf. and every day since, we've worked hard to keep it. today, the beaches and gulf are open for everyone to enjoy. we've shared what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. bp's also committed to america. we support nearly two-hundred-fifty thousand jobs and invest more here than anywhere else. we're working to fuel america for generations to come. our commitment has never been stronger.

>> welcome back, is the white house trying to silence whistleblowers? that's what some are saying after new memo surfaced which allows federal agencies to fire employees without appeal if their work has any tie to national security. is this another threat to government transparency? joining us now a former official department of justice jay christian adams himself a whistle blower. thanks so much for joining us. tell us what this means exactly.

what it means less about what our government is doing. the government wants to go through review of reclassifying employees as not have national security roles but simply being in a national security sensitive spot. that could mean the janitor at the pentagon. the bus driver. it could actually mean the entire justice department, offices of the u.s. attorneys around the country. because they are in a position to have national security information in the office. so it's an overbroad attempt to stop the flow of information out of the government to the american people. >> now, this administration, this may surprise some of our viewers that prosecuted more whistle blowers or leakers. there is is a fine line, i guess, between those two categories than all of its predecessors combined is that a surprising fact to you? >> well, don't forget. those leakers were actually leakers. they were leaking classified information about things such as, for example, we have leakers

about the iranian missile or i'm sorry nuclear program counter measures that should be prosecuted. but what we're talking about here is much broader. for example, whistle blowers were essential in telling me that this justice department want the to approve south carolina voter i.d. they went ahead and overruled the people and wasted millions of dollars of south carolina money to fight voter i.d. fast and furious we wouldn't know about that if this weren't for atf whistle blowers. those atf whistle blowers probably would fall within the parameters of this new review which would allow them to fire these people without any merit system protection review. just fire them and it's really a way to chill speech coming out of the government. so people don't know what the government is doing. >> so this is just classic -- this is the u.s. government cracking down on people that might divulge information that embarrasses elected officials? >> that's exactly right. whistleblowers are

essential to reveal waste, fraud, lawlessness, inside the federal government. if you can overbroad -- if can you create a classification that is overbroad on who should not be talking to the press, just to fire people, you will have a government get bigger, more powerful, less transparent and that's a bad thing. >> what's fascinating to me is that of course whistle blowers have always been a reveered category on the left. you are always hearing democratic politicians defending whistle blowers and adding protections for whistle blowers. this administration, a liberal administration stripping away those protections. i could speak to that firsthand. >> when i came out about the new black panther case the left went wild. former voting section chief of the justice department the left went crazy. the obama administration lied about chris coats. they go full bore on anybody inside government.

>> pretty chilling considering how much power the federal government already has. do we want to hand them more? >> well, of course not. and that's exactly why this review of who is in a national security sensitive position cannot be overbroad. congress must watch this very carefully. 1940s in the government would have more protection than wood. a federal government element employee revealing waste fraud or abuse in a system. that's unbelievable. >> jay christian adams. that's so interesting. thanks for paying attention. so few are. thanks for the update. >> thanks, tucker. >> buckle your seat belt for this story. a 7-year-old suspended for from school because his pastry looked like a firearm. holly smokes. are women packing on the pounds because they are not doing enough housework? i'm not endorsing that. suggesting it could be true. controversial new study coming up. dad, i'd put that down.

>> welcome back. time for your news by the numbers now. first up, 700, that's the number of pages of new regulations added to obama care. just released by the administration. the new healthcare rules go into effect in may. start reading them. >> excited. >> 700 pages. next up 2. that's how many some tax refunds some in delaware with getting back thanks to printing error. don't cash both checks or you will have to pay back the difference anyway. and finally $2,500. that's how much this 5-year-old spent while

trying to download free ipad games. doing all these purchases after he got the game. and he parents pass words. luckily for them apple heard about it and they refunded him the money. >> 2500 bucks? >> i don't no. i can't. yip that was possible. thank you for that. >> do you want to shed some pounds? here is the answer. just do more housework. a controversial new study is sparking outrage because it links household chores to women's waist lines. >> women in the 1960's did more than 25 hours a week of cleaning, cooking, and laundry. but in 2010. that number has decreased to 13 hours and scientists are tieing the decline to activity to weight gain. are they on to something or is this offensive to modern day women? fox news medical contributor dr. mark see gel gull is here, i don't know, to defend women or, i don't know, shame them? tell me? >> i am going to defend them. i'm not going to go out of this segment being blamed.

>> very good. >> look, 22 pounds more over that same period of time when housework has gone down from 25 hours a week to 13 hours a week. and in the old days in 196 a, you washed your dishes by hand. had you to dust mop. you had these big clunker vacuums that you pushed around. no doubt you were expending calories for that. >> women have gained because we are leading more sedentary lives. not because we need to do more housework. if you can figure out a way to keep your house clean. go for a run. go for a walk. go to the gym. you don't have to necessarily vacuum, do you? >> alisyn, i'm totalfully agreement with that i want to add in a point it's not just going to the gym. it's also the sedentary lifestyle part of the equation here. women in this study were 25% more of time was spent in front of a computer screen sitting. even if you go to the gym. what are you doing the rest of the time? a huge study out a couple of years ago when more than 120,000 people found that women

were 40% more likely to die earlier if they sat in front of a screen more than 6 hours a day. that's the problem. what are we doing instead of the housework? we're watching computers, doing online media that's where we are evidencing. and that's the problem. >> got it i featured an app. on the show a couple of times called lose it. so many viewers have written me and lost like 10, 13, 14, 15 pounds. able to plug in the activities do you throughout the day. my wife who suspect and down the stairs constantly with the babies. she plugs in the amount of housework she does in that app. you would be stunned at the amount of calories you burn by just doing housework. >> again, it isn't housework. if you are employed, if you are not a housewife at home you have got to walk between various activities. you have got to get up. you have got to as we said before park your car away from the supermarket. walk there be conscience of what you are doing in between the ers exercise you are doing. unfortunately this computer screen issue or sitting and watching television or whatever you are doing can definitely take away from life span. >> what about the advent of fast food. many more fast food

restaurants than we did 40 years ago. >> and processed foods. >> isn't that part of the 22 pounds or no? >> that's the limitation of this study. i think that the exercise part of this, or the activity part of this is only part of the equation. what we are eat something really a huge problem too. we are eating way too many carbs. if we cut down -- we have to do this hand in hand. cut down on the amount of carbs you eat and increase overall the amount of activity that you have. >> right it seems like this study goes hand in hand with the time period. started having the low fat food or the whole box of snack well cookies because they are low fat they are high in everything else, in carbs. >> absolutely. and that wasn't as true years ago. we watched a film from the 1960's, you will see very skinny, people. of course they were smoking in those days. at least we have cut down way on that. >> vacuuming and smoking. >> that was the 1960s. i really wish those desk tread mills would catch on. working and going 9

mile-per-hour. >> i just bought one. no joke. i bought a treadmill desk. >> i wish everybody out there would get one of these things. >> dr. seagull great information. thank you. in about an hour. we have denise austin coming up. show us how to work out in our car. even if we have to be sedentary, you can still be moving she says. >> i'm all for that. >> tweet me. i just got a treadmill desk at home. i'm on clay clayton morris at home. i will send you a picture and go make a decision for yourself. >> on the computer and walking like 1. a? >> i hope you are close. >> a listen, doctor, we have to get to a serious story. you know this desperate story. a massive sink hole has opened up right underneath a house. listen. >> okay. and what happened to the house? >> the bedroom floor just collapsed and my brother-in-law is in there. he is underneath the house. >> could this happen to you? we're asking a sink hole expert next where the most likely places are for them. >> then a 7-year-old suspended because his pastry he chewed it so that looked like a gun.

did the school overreact and suspend him? we report, you decide. felt the diabetic nerve pain, of course, i had no idea what it was. i felt like my feet were going to sleep. it progressed from there to burning like i was walking on hot coals to like a thousand bees that were just stinging my feet. i have a great relationship with my doctor. he found lyrica for me.

>> what is your emergency? >> yes, we need an

ambulance, stuck underneath the house. the house just fell through. >> what happened to the house? >> the bedroom floor just collapsed and my brother-in-law is in there. he is underneath the house. >> that chilling 911 call came after a man was swallowed by a sink hole as he slept in his florida home. officials are turning to the scene this morning, warning the hole is only growing larger and deeper. what causes this to happen in the first place and could it happen to you? joining us by phone is a sink hole expert and professor amerit tus of geological sign sciences anthony. >> good morning. >> a lot of people waking up this morning who live in some of these sink hole prone. my gosh is my house stable? i look out in my backyard and there is a gapping hole out by my fence area wondering it's getting larger. what is a sink hole? >> a sink hole was a depression in the ground

surface. it's caused by very old limestone that is near the surface that has been dissolving for millions of years. reach a point where you develop cavities and caverns in the limestone large enough that they are no longer able to support the roof of the cavity and the cavity collapses and anything above it, sand, clerics and any house that might be there, they fall in and you have the surface depression that we call a sink hole. >> and, professor, explain how this 26-year-old young man jeff, who is at the moment trapped in this sink hole and presumed dead, why can't once you fall into a sink hole, it's not just a crevice, why can't you climb out once you in the sink hole? >> well, it's possible to climb out. depending on where you are when the sink hole collapsed. but in this case here. the entire section of the house fell in with him. fell down or fell in very deeply. i believe more than 50 feet

in a vertical direction. and then was quickly covered by the material the surrounding parts of the hole. the hole actually got larger as the sink hole was in the process. >> professor, we often see stories of sink holes swallowing up cars on highways or otherwise damaging our infrastructure. is there any way to know where sink holes are likely to occur? >> yes. in fact, after i retired from the university of florida, i started a consulting business to tell people just that. what the potential is for sink hole development there are several technical companies that can do that as well. there are scientific procedures that we could apply to find these cav at this before they collapse. >> tell us, just for our viewers right now who are nervous today how do you see something before a sink hole erupts in your yard? >> you can't physically see something.

most of the times. although you can get some warning signs. for instance, cracks in masonry, bricks and structures like that. the floor. opening, difficulty opening wind chill index does or closing doors. these are signs of settlement that may be related to sink holes but also related to other things. that's why you need to test to see exactly what's causing. >> there is some professor at states that are prone to sink holes. put these up on the screen this morning so if you live in some of these states. look out for kentucky, tennessee and pennsylvania, two part question, number one why are these more prone to sink hole, and number two will this become part of prone or beyond? >> answer to the first question. the reason why prone because you you have old limestone limestone dissolving away for

millions and millions of years and relatively close to the surface. all of those states share that geological condition. with regard to -- come again the second part of your question? >> homeowner informations if you are going to buy your house and sell your house is thissing going to become part of the process? >> we hope so. in florida we have been pushing that presale inspection. you have a term might inspection. nobody thinks about sink holes. particularly in certain parts of florida. sink holes are the very likely to form. unfortunately, we haven't gotten the word out sufficiently to alert homeowners, progressive homeowners to do that. >> professor anthony, you are getting the word out this morning. thanks so much for your expertise. >> perhaps this tragic story will shed light on how actually are. >> top al qaeda leader was

killed in battle in northern mallee. abu zi ed was killed by french forces. who to his unit in northern africa. historic bridge in west virginia gone in an instant. we love the implosions here. the 79-year-old bridge blown up to make room for a new one. crews again demolishing the structure last month. some pieces were so heavy they had to blast them apart. the remains are going to be a scrap yard -- going to a scrap yard to be fur bished. well, one mother says a quick thinking police officer saved her son's life and this whole thing was caught on camera. the woman says she was

rushing her asthmatic son to the hospital when he stopped breathing in the car. she spotted the officer at a gas station and the two of them rushed him inside. you can see the officer doing cpr until the paramedics arrived. >> revive a human being and give them life again. is truly humbling experience. something i couldn't even begin to describe. it's a great feeling. >> officer simmons, with his fast thinking on his feet, he saved him. without him my son would not be here today. >> her son is now recovering in the hospital and expected to be okay. those are your headlines. >> let's head down to baltimore this morning shall we? are the pc police in full effect after a 7-year-old was having breakfast and he was chewing on a piece of pastry. he chewed it into the form of a mountain at one point and the boy said he continued to chew it and he chewed the pastry into the form of a gun. well, that was enough for the school down there

suspended him for two days for chewing his pastry into the form of a gun. >> i think it's very threatening. don't move. i have got a extra isn't a right here. >> oh my god. that's loaded. >> looks like the shape of a grenade. >> it's insane. >> listen to this kid who was suspended. joshua takes full responsibility by the way for the pastry gun. listen, joshua. >> it was already a rectangle. i just kept on biting it and biting it tore off the top of it and it kind of looked like a gun but it wasn't. all i was trying to do was turn it into a mountain. it didn't look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun. >> you know, some people are not good at drawing fine distinctions. baltimore has a crime problem. there is actual crime in baltimore. if you see that boy. >> with a strawberry tart and consider that threatening i suggest you should not be in a position of leadership. >> i would say there are certain pictures that are more threatening like the

bear claw. >> by definition. that's far more threatening than a pastry gun. >> i mean he got suspended for two days. >> what would you do if your kid came home and had a letter from the school saying suspended because eating a pastry in the form of a gun. >> i don't know what i would do other than laugh uproariously. i know that's not the message to send to the 7-year-old. please let us know your thoughts on this. >> rick, the only thing that pastry was loaded with is calories. >> calories, yeah, transfats, maybe. i think it shows a lot of self-control that he was able to actually eat at that slowly and discipline and didn't punch the whole thing in. >> i never would have been able to do that. >> take a look at this. we have these big snow storms the last couple weeks across parts of the central plains. that dark color there. state of oklahoma. take a look what happens. since those storms, the drought improving still there we need a lot of

moisture across the central plains. we need another five big storms to cure the drought we have going on. that is not going to happen. we are going to see rain coming in maybe next week. but any precipitation we get is good. and the winter wheat crops there are feeling a lot better about it think they might be able to get a decent yield out it this year. that's some good news out of that storm. all going to be light. interior sections, coastal areas. temps will be over the 40-degree mark. down to the southeast. a cool one. we will be dealing with temps only into the low 50s in gulfport, mississippi. incredibly chilly there into the northern plains, temps into the 20's and 30's with some sunshine. all right, guys. send it back to you inside. >> thanks, rick. coming up on the show. do you think you know what a terrorist looks like? think again. how islamic extremists changing their image. >> before you load up on easter candy. important recall to tell you about this morning. stay with us. we have got details.

>> >> terrific. actually it is the brainchild of a colleague. we collaborated on this. the real talent here is a magnificent american patriot artist gregory mara gregory was very passionate about his work in promoting american patriots in art. which is also the facebook page. and he had a work in progress to do a navy seal statue with the intentions navy seal foundation and also to the navy seal museum florida across the state. and when i heard of the tragic of chris kyle on as a matter of fact, one month ago today, on february 2nd, i picked up the phone and

called gregory and said gregory, you really need your model needs to be chris kyle, the most lethal sniper in all u.s. military history and navy seal. i only had to say it once. he understood it he read his book. we're both involved in various different veterans, patriot type of functions. and on monday, february 4th. the transition began. my role really is -- gregory, press secretary, if you will. hands in the clay and mine needs to be out promoting this. >> we're so glad you can make continue othe show this morning and promote it. and great work, gene. we really appreciate it we

want our viewers this morning if they want to make a donation to help in this cause. they simply go to american patriot in art.com. there it is on your screen. american patriots in art.com. gene, thank you. >> and the facebook page is patriots in art llc. all of the details are there. facebook page and web site which will tell you all about it. >> okay. thank you so much. gene. we really appreciate it be sure to check out web sites and facebook page as well. coming up, he won half a million dollars in the lottery then. died the next day. so was he really poisoned? what a medical examiner has just ruled coming up. are that t overmany discounts to thine customers!

do you know what a terrorist looks like? a new study finds they look like allot like average americans now to blend in. >> author of jihad incorporated. islam in the u.s. executive director of the investigative project on terrorism. and a very knowledgeable person. he joins us from washington. good morning, steve. tell us what the study says. >> well, the study done by the henry jackson society out of britain released here in the united states. does a very extensive analysis of the more than 100 plus in the united states, defiles the commonalities and differences. such as were they christian converts. male, female. what countries did they come from. were they intent on causing mass casualties or material support? in other words stratifies all the differences of the

islamic terrorists arrested. unfortunately, my point of view, it makes one fatal flaw. it assumes that all of these terrorists were al qaeda. inspired motivated. al qaeda directed. when in fact 60% terrorists since 1997 that have been arrested and convicted were not connected at all to al qaeda but rather to radical islam which is the parent of al qaeda and terrorist organization. >> is there something we should be looking for? study broader away of racial characteristics. christian right women have converted carry out and subsequently carry out acts of terrorism when they became vad dick callized. it doesn't show how they became radicalized. whether it was the mosque or internet videos or whether it was a charismatic colleague or anything else.

only commonality is is that they believe in one thing, a war against islam. that is not covered by the report. i think that the expansion of more islamic terrorist over time shows that there is a variety not because they want a variety but because they lack a number of similar characteristics in their own countries. >> steve emerson one of the world's experts on this stuff. thanks, steve. >> coming up on the show. yahoo ceo maher causing quite a firestorm telling employees they can no longer work from home. enemy to working parents snemp she built a nursery in the office next to her new office for her baby. double standard in the office. look what mommy is having.

>> saturday morning, everyone. march 2nd, alisyn camerota. cause chaos. promised it would never happen. now that it has, the president says the sequester won't be that bad. >> this is not going to be a apocalypse the president play his hand? governor huckabee has thoughts on that coming up. >> disappearing into the earth. literally a florida man gets swallowed up by a sink hole. >> 911, what is your emergency? >> yes. we need an ambulance and a cop, -- stuck underneath the house. the house just fell through. >> what exactly happened here? and could it happen in your neighborhood? >> terrifying moments auto board this bus a driver fainting, what's this? falls out of the seat sending the bus into oncoming traffic.

find out how that frightening scene ended. show you the details. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> he asked i wonder if the bus made all the stops. like when kremer rescued the bus and he still made all the stops. >> wow. >> get more to that as soon as i read you your headline. let's do that right now. tell you this story. sink hole has swallowed up part of a florida home. sleeping inside and growing even bigger at this hour. could take down the entire house. jeffrey bush, is he just 26 years old. he was in his bedroom thursday night when it collapsed underneath him. you could hear the desperation in his family's voice in these newly released 911 calls. >> >> what is your emergency? >> yes, we need an

ambulance and a cop -- stuck underneath the house. the house just fell through. >> and what happened to the house? >> the bedroom floor just collapsed and my brother-in-law is in there. is he underneath the house. >> crews will now demolish part of the house to try to recover bush's body. is he presumed dead. sink holes because. >> live report for new just minutes. good place to be after cyanide poisoning. inhaled it or if it was injected. family says theys disappointed with those results. >> and i was not surprised but i was hoping that something would have come ought with these test results. >> have got into the body. >> he also had a severe

blockage and coronary artery which may have effectiveness of the cyanide. died on the same day that his $425,000 jackpot check was mailed. his body was exhumed after family released suspicions of his death. >> new keystone pipeline saying other alternatives could be worse for the climate. they stopped short of endorsing the controversial plan. the reported pipeline would only release the same amount of global warming pollution every year as about 626,000 passenger cars do. fomc is expected to make his final decision on the plan sometime this summer. >> major victory for women in the u.s. military. major general michelle johnson has become the first female to be superintendent of the air force academy. she a 1981 graduate of the academy and currently nato's deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence. johnson's promotion to a three star lt. is pending approval from the senate.

those are your headlines. >> thank you, al sib. let's turn it to rick reichmuth now for a look at that spring first alert forecast that's out there, right? >> the groundhog should be over by now, right? >> true. it's not happening. >> one more week of winter with potentially really big storm for some people across the mid-atlantic. >> this morning it's cold. tonight another cold one. get your temperature right here. tomorrow night. warms up towards new orleans. but, again, just to the mid 30's in orlando and 45 in miami. so very, very cool for here in the northern plains of minnesota. you are thinking it's not that cold. if you are here, it's all relative it. very cold across parts of florida. across part of alabama and north georgia. you have winter weather voters. we'll could be seeing maybe up to an inch of snow falling for a few people. this is a disturbance parts of the tennessee valley in

towards snowfall from right there in central alabama. take a look. and image on twitter if you have that going on. across the west clear. much of the southwest looking great. new disturbance moving. in that's what's potentially a storm for us in the mid-atlantic. in the short-term though, take a look what's going to happen over the next two days, rain and snow moves in across the cascades and mountains of california. and eventually by the time we get monday morning a stripe of snow from north dakota in towards part of illinois. that potentially is this storm we are talking about maybe around washington, d.c. could be the biggest snow storm that they have seen all winter long. all right, guys over to you. >> thanks, that groundhog was wrong. thanks, rick. >> bring in governor mike huckabee now. host of governor huckabee on fox news channel. niles to see you this morning. >> good morning to you. >> we made it, we survived. just in case of the end of the world be prepared.

>> here is the question. a lot of us were brazen. some were bracing for really a jarring event. and apocalypse is the word. he reassured the country yesterday that in fact that is not happening. but is he the one that told it us it was happening in the first place? >> absolutely. you remember the character back in the 70s from "saturday night live" gill dered aner played? she would get everything all mixed up, then when she realized how wrong she was the catch line was "never mind." i thought president obama is emily latella. basically yesterday he said never mind. >> can we dismiss everything with the sequester or will we over the course of the next six months see problems? >> we will see some problems. >> the sad thing is a lot of people will see problems who shouldn't see problems, shouldn't have to see problems. they will see problems this

is really really bad. even taking 2. a% out of the picture most americans felt on paychecks. they are saying if i had to it live with 2% less. look at one city in america that is prospering beyond all prosperity. the only city in america named this week that's where people who live there can actually buy a new car. washington, d.c. the only place where property values have not gone down. the one place that is recession-proof. why? because it is the center of our government that has more money than any other place in america. people in america are not stupid. they are being taken to be fooled and they are not and they can see this. people going out campaign style. saying american people are on my side. yesterday though came out to see like he softened not calling into apocalypse. good news is american

american people are strong. fought hard to recover from the worst economic crisis since the great depression and we will get through this as well. even with these cuts in place folks all across this country work hard to make sure that we keep the recovery going. i want to be very clear here this is not going to precipitate americans defaulting and some of the problems around the debt ceiling. i don't anticipate a huge financial crisis. but people are going to be hurt. we will get through. this this is is not going to be a apocalypse. >> why wouldn't the president have been saying that all along. >> he was trying to pressure the republicans in congress to acquiesce to higher taxes. he thought if he could create enough scare and pressure and people were screaming the world is going to come to an end as

we know it. they might put enough pressure on congress. fold like a cheap pup tent in a hurricane that would be the end of it and he would win. this time for once thank goodness stood up. this is crazy. we can't keep doing. this gave you $600 billion in new taxes. what did you do with it? you gave zero cuts. we have come to the table. we put something there. your turn. toughness pays off for republicans. >> it's not toughness. it's conviction. difference between toughness conviction. toughness is being stubborn. conviction is when you actually believe something for a reason and you can articulate and explain it this is not just about being stubborn. this is about people saying we have a spending problem. and 83% of americans agree we have a spending problem. this is the republicans showing the conviction that agrees with americans. there seem to be a lot of deja vu for watergate with

bob woodward in the headlines. in fact, pat caddell as you know, pundit, said that he believes that president obama is the closest thing to president next son. four years because of the bob woodward backwater gate trying to expose something listen to bob board ward and give comment ton it? >> under the con stiewrks the president is commander and chief and employs the force. and so we now have the president going up because of piece of paper and this agreement i can't do what i need to do. that's a kind of madness. >> i think it's interesting because to compare obama and nixon because of the lack of transparency. because of the fact that

they are both kind of creating these enemy lists and going after and targeting reporters they don't like. there is a one big difference. all the things aside from the watergate coverup. nixon was a pretty effective president. he got things done. the difference is president obama has not been an effective president. he can't work with congress. party for the most part other than obama care. signature issue which is collapsing the economy. a job by job. so, really richard nixon to make the comparison. >> disingenuousness and lying. only president who comes close to rivalling president nixon for disingenuousness. is there a bigger word in the english language. establishment mainstream media for daring to question a president or do a story that they wouldn't

touch. they are once again attacking the messenger on, this bob woodward. >> no politician likes the press when i was in the office i didn't particularly like them. tujer was one of the press in my state when i was governor. it's not like that you like them. you shouldn't like them. they shouldn't love you. the purpose of the press is to be the watchdog for the people. they are not even supposed to work for the publications. they are supposed to be the eyes, the ears of the american public and keep an eye on those folks to see that they are doing right. they are be the watchdog for people not the house pet of any administration. >> hold on a second. woodward, we can't give him a pass. he got this one wrong. wouldn't you say? when he say he was threatened by the administration, that was hardly one of his shining moments in his career. >> here is what i think -- i don't think he was saying he was physically threatened and they were going to get him in a half nelson and give him a nooky on his head. >> used tactics basically through an email that had a chilling effect.

>> greatest threat to a journalist is to be shut out. the greatest threat is to be told you are never going to have access and get inside information. if you are bob board ward who has had unprecedented access to every white house, and written a lot of interesting inside books, to say you will never see anything helicopter arrival. that would be a pretty big deal. that was the kind of threat that would scare him a lot more than thing intoe on the head. >> gene sperling not a physically threatening figure. a christian leading a christian group. is that discrimination would that lead to discrimination? the governor sticking around for that one. >> high gas prices. maybe it's it time to trade in your wheels. rick is outside with some brand new affordable tool-friendly cars. we'll be right back with that [ fishing rod casting line, marching band playing ]

>> should a christian group be forced to accept an atheist as its leader? this is a hotly debated issue. coming up again. this time at rollins college in florida. the school has just stripped a christian student group of its funding because the group requires its leaders to be followers of christ. to be christian. and that's apparently discrimination. let's bring in governor huckabee to see how you feel about what's going on at roll bins college. we have seen this happening at other colleges as well. they have to open it up to everybody to be leaders of these christian student groups, otherwise, it would be discrimination. >> you know, for an institution that's supposed to be about education, this is about the dumbest thing i have ever seen. administrators left their brains on the bed stands at home. every male ought to go join all female clubs. every person who is a christian ought to go join a muslim club. just mix it all up. just go out there and say okay. we're going to play this game. we're really going to play it. and people who are

absolutely not athletes go try to be part of the fca. >> we know that colleges by and large are run by crazy people. so, given that. wouldn't the answer be. >> study on it. >> there has been. did i it myself. >> wouldn't it just be better for the christian group not to take funding and do what they want according to their conscience? >> it's not even funding. it's access to the school facilities. it's hard to have a group on campus if you have to go off campus and kids don't have cars and they don't have transportation to it. the point that ought to be made, just engage the brains of the people in the college. but in the meantime. i think a little what i would call humorous disruption would be delightful and have all those kids that are told that their group isn't acceptable go join all the other. >> that's how i usually think humorous disruption. tonight, 8:00 p.m. more humorous disruption on the huckabee show. who do you have coming up on the show. >> ron foreigncovered three

white houses. own level of it he will talk about tonight. >> excellent. we look thanks, governor. >> yahoo's ceo causing a firestorm. no longer work can from home. is this working mother public enemy number one to working parents everywhere? we debate that plan next. for over 125 years we've been bringing people together. today we'd like people to come together on something that concerns all of us...obesity. and as the nations leading beverage company we can play an important role. that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change whats offered in schools.

but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us. based on one simple common sense fact, all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories then you burn off you'll gain weight. that goes for coca cola and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca cola we know when people come together good things happen to learn more visit coke.com/comingtogether could lose tens of thousands of dollars on their 401(k) to hidden fees. thankfully e-trade has low cost investments and no hidden fees. but, you know, if you're still bent on blowing this fat stack of cash, there's a couple of ways you could do it. ♪ ♪ or just go to e-trade and save it. boom. ♪

welcome back, crews back at work this morning despite of that massive sink hole that swallowed up part of a hole with man sleeping inside at the time. josh joins us from the scene in florida. josh, what you can tell us at this hour? >> well, clayton right now

it's a very slow methodical painstaking process going on. crews are using a large drill machine to test the soil around here. basically what they are trying to do is establish a safe zone around this house because they are not sure exactly how large that sink hole is. how unstable the ground is and they can't send anyone in to do any work until they know exactly what is safe. give you idea how concerned they are of another implosion. you can see what they're wearing. harnesses on with tethers attached to them so if something does happen, they can pull those guys out very quick. inside that home is 20-foot wide sink hole that may have grown overnight. of course, around 11:00 thursday night. it sucked in jeffrey bush while he was in bed just the most unimaginable thing you can imagine. crews have not been in there since then. there was a deputy that pulled his brother out who was trying to rescue him. but since then, they have not gone back inside. they are still working to establish a safe zone out here. hopefully they can do that sooner rather than later.

obviously the family very distraught and not much can be done until they can figure out exactly what is is safe and what is not. , josh live for us down there in florida, unstable ground as they try to continue that work. check back there later. let's check in with alisyn for this debate. >> another story had people talking all week. internet giant yahoo telling employees they can no longer work from their homes. instead from a leaked memo they told all employees that they have to come into the office saying, quote, to become the absolute best place to work, communication and claction will be important. so we need to be working side by side. that is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. does yahoo have a point? joining us now to debate this is the founder and ceo of completely bare spas and beauty products. cindy and the author of tweak it, cali williams yost. ladies, great to have you here. cindy, let me start with

you. people want women love having a flexible schedule and work from home. sometimes you have young kids at home and it's important to be there what do you think of what yahoo is doing? >> i think they have made a great decision. always coming out with innovative products. have to be on the forefront of technology at this point. to do that it has to be a combination of people coming together and making sure there is realtime information going. and it's quick and easy for them to get that information when everybody is in the same place. >> cally, is it most productive when everybody is in the same place? >> well, one of the pieces of my why owe i should probably sara is i'm al work consultant. been inside companies making this work for 17 years. the real story is how do we make flexible work succeed for business and people? i don't think you have to throw the baby out with the bath water. many organizations can do it doesn't have to be all or nothing. that's hopefully what this conversation will be about. what do we do to make it succeed and have the benefits of flexible work which are well documented and researched? >> clayton followed the story he was telling me during the commercial break meyer, the woman, the ceo

who decided to do this, is she the data driven person? she looked at the numbers. and she found out that people were not logging in from home. and logging on to their computers as much as they claimed they were. so that is, perhaps, the impetus for getting them back into the office, cindy. >> people become complacent at home and are not as innovative. being yahoo, you have to be on the cutting edge. you have to be coming with products innovating and new. she made a brilliant decision. >> are you sometimes more productive at home when you don't have like co-workers gossipping with you and asking to go to lunch with you and you are not doing all of the emails that you have to do? >> yahoo flexible work was broken at yahoo. they did not implement it correctly. >> what should they have done? >> three things. one, you have to train your people how to use flexible work. most of the abuse that we see is cluelessness. that's why i wrote my new book tweak it how to to be a good partner with your employer. the second thing you needed

resourcefulness. >> tucker: thank you, i'm the macguyver of personal grooming. >> clayton: he's a boy scout. welcome to the show, a lot to get to, especially the quest this morning. >> alisyn: the president signed the sequester late last night and mandatory 85 billion dollar across the board spending cuts are now in effect and of course, the blame game is also in effect on capitol hill. >> tucker: of course, we go to peter doocy of fox, live in washington this morning with more details, what's going on, peter? >> reporter: tucker, as you guys were talking about, president obama spent weeks warning the american people about the pain that the sequestration would cause march 2nd, that's today and the latest statement this morning, things might seem fine today, but the sequestration will still hit hard in a few weeks. >> this will cause a ripple effect across the economy. businesses will suffer because customers will have less money to spend. the longer these cuts remain in place, the greater the damage. economists estimate they could eventually cost us more than 750,000 jobs and slow our

economy by over 1/2 of 1%. >> reporter: republican lawmakers agree that sequestration will hurt, but speaker boehner passed two alternatives to the across the board cuts and says if the president was serious about avoiding them, he should have come up with a plan that would have passed the democratically controlled senate and today the g.o.p. continuing to blame the president. >> these devastating, across the board cuts, first proposed by the president will affect the lives of so many hard-working americans yet this week the president traveled 180 miles to newport news, virginia, instead of travelling one and a half miles to senator harry reid's office on capitol hill to negotiate a replacement of smarter spending cuts. >> reporter: yesterday's deadline for sequestration wasn't even the only major deadline this month. on march 26th, furloughs will begin one day later the

government will shut down if a new budget isn't agreed upon. then a few weeks later in april, democrats in congress immediate to put forward their budget blueprint and a few weeks after that, the debt ceiling must be raised if the united states wants to pay its bills on time. back to you in new york. >> clayton: thank you so much, peter. and peter laid out the time line and important to talk about some of the specific cuts, 42 in defense spending, 26 in nondefense spending, 11 billion in medicare cuts will also go into place among that 85 billion. >> alisyn: i mean, look, there will be problems with the sequester, absolutely. there will be people who have to either take less pay or cut their hours, i mean, just -- you know, the president was talking yesterday about the janitors on capitol hill, saying these very people today it's going to hit these very people hard. interestingly, the company that does the janitorial services says, wait a minute,

we're trying to rearrange and not repair some things and maintenance go down and reduce our supplies, we'll have to not buy new development and rely on old equipment. >> clayton: it won't spare a square. >> tucker: they went so far over the top in their descriptions of this sequestration process. i mean, you had arne duncan, who is the secretary of education, kind after reasonable guy, not a whacko, he somehow got convinced by the obama administration to put his credibility on the line, and tell the american people to the television camera, we're going to have to layoff teachers, in fact, already now. it's not true. >> clayton: and they were already being laid off, nothing to do with the sequestration. >> alisyn: and crying wolf in that way, does it have a long-term effect on their credibility? and when janet napolitano says, yes, national security will be affected and arne duncan says people are

pink-slipped. what happens to credibility? >> so unnecessary, nobody is for it, you can make a straight forward honest cahe ca members, supposed to be running the executive branch of government. they're not jay carney, they're real people and obama made them into just spokesmen and liars. >> clayton: you're right, not only marshalled cabinet members they marshalled the e-mail list and the campaign the president thinks perhaps the american people on his side and he may be right, but bill o'reilly has a different take and thinks he overplayed his hand. take a listen. bill? can you come in on a saturday, please? >>. >> well, o'reilly makes a smart point, you can't keep doing this and maintain your credibility. now, the head of the republican party, rnc, was on fox recently and made the point that this may be a lesson to republicans that standing up to the president

is not only in the interest of the country, but maybe it makes good politics. maybe it's a template for future battles. >> alisyn: i think we don't know yet. today the sky has not fallen everybody is fine. however, six months from now, we'll see if this sequestration had an effect on the economy and if in fact things are headed south again. even more interestingly, there's another doomsday scenario just three weeks from now, we'll be back in the same pickle that he we always seem to find ourselves in with congress where they work up to the 11th hour and don't know if the government can continue to operate the next day and then-- >> and to tucker's point, meanwhile, the private sector continues to churn and move on, yesterday the dow hit an all time high at 14,000 points and warren buffett with a call with the investors, ignore it, because it's not going to matter. is this a big deal?

charles krauthammer on hannity last night, says that president obama wanted this to play out the way it did. >> when i woke up this morning, i checked for locusts, frogs and pestilence and it looked okay so i went outside. look, it's very clear this president from the very beginning has had no interest in cutting spending or deficit. as you say, he's increased it by a record 5 trillion dollars in one term. so, all of this is about something else and what it is about, it's about the larger agenda and obama explained it very openly, courageously, i'd say, in his inaugural address that he gave in january. he wants to change america, make it into this sort of left-entitlement state european style. >> tucker: think of it this way. ask anybody who actually runs a business a simple question, what are you more afraid of sequestration, cutting 2% of

the federal budget over ten years, or the long-term implications of a 16 trillion dollar debt? there's really not-- i don't think you'll find one person who finds sequestration, bad as it may be, scarier than our long-term budget. that's the real problem there. >> clayton: or implementation of a large federal health care program and their effects on small business, also. >> tucker: yeah, not even close. >> clayton: right. >> alisyn: meanwhile, let's tell what you else is happening at this hour, we want to get to your headlines because that sinkhole that swallowed up part of a florida home and a man sleeping inside is growing bigger this morning and may take down the entire house. jeffrey bush was in his bedroom thursday night when it collapsed underneath him. you can hear the desperation in his family's voice in the newly released 911 calls. >> what's your imagine. >> yes, we need an ambulance and cops, and caught underneath the house the house fell through. >> what happened to the house? >> so the bathroom floor just collapsed and my

brother-in-law is in there underneath the house. >> alisyn: crews say they will now have demolish the house to resume his body, they presume he's dead. and the sinkhole, they have a lot of limestone and dissolves with water. and sad news to report about a funny woman. >> mothers have certain rights, the right to nag, to interfere, to lay on the gift, to make sure you wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident. >> alisyn: it's a classic. actress bonnie franklin played single mom ann romano on "one day at a time", died at age 69 from result of pancreatic cancer. and that show was a turning point. nuclear families and then a single mom with teenage daughters and i remember loving that show. >> clayton: like rota.

>> tucker: if only you saw that would be a pictures of the future. >> alisyn: and a massachusetts woman is suing fed ex, you love this sorry, clayton. >> clayton: shocking on a number of levels. fed ex mistakenly delivers pot to her home. i didn't know you could send pot in the first place, to make it be a mistake and gave her address to drug dealers. fed ex gave her address out to drug dealers. mary angela said she thought it was the package was a birthday present for her daughter until she discovered seven pounds of pot inside and he three hours later they showed up, where is my pot. and they're concerned about her safety now that the drug dealers know where she lives. how can you send pot in the first place, rick, in the mail and why would fed ex hand out your address to the drug dealers? oh, we sent it here, pick it up. >> rick: let me tell you exactly how this happened. (laughter) >> with the big operation you run and you use ups, right.

>> rick: yeah, it's mini weeds operation -- hardly. and another cold area across the southeast. and if air down in florida for spring break, not spring break or spring training, incredibly cold. two more days to get through this and then warm up. so cold we've got snow across the south and snow across alabama and georgia mountains into the appalachians and towards the national area this morning. and be careful if you're headed out on the roads, some of those could be slick. out across the west we're pretty nice and a storm is moving into the pacific northwest, and eventually to the central rockies and this there, that stripe of snow, that's going to be the next storm that develops the next few days and tuesday into wednesday, we're possibly dealing with a pit of a coastal storm like we've seen maybe some snow around the d.c. area, and virginia, north

carolina and i think it misses the northeast, at this point i hope it misses the northeast, all right, back over to you. >> clayton: yeah, if the powers of persuasion pulls that off. no deal meets cuts in military defense spending. wait until you mary some ridiculous thing we're spending money on. like robotic squirrels. >> tucker: we need those robotic squirrels, clayton. and causing a firestorm after she told her employees that they could no longer work at home? is this working mother public enemy number one? and your e-mails are pouring in ahead. ♪ has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! ♪ wow.

>> welcome back. a waste watch alert. if you thought you've seen the

end of the robotic squirrel, think again. the federal government is so committed to picketing wasteful spending they're willing to gut vital services instead of cutting useless ones. that's the headline here. where else is our taxpayer money going? joining us now jason riley, wall street journal contributor, all-around good guy. to keep it in perspective, we're keeping robotic squirrels and cutting medicare? >> tucker, i think the white house is worried here. millions of americans woke up friday morning, the traffic lights were still working, the civilization was not shattered and the streets were not burning because first responders had been furloughed. what the white house has been worried about, americans might figure that cutting spending by 2 1/2% will not result in catastrophe and that's the message. >> they're doing their best to hide that fact because these cuts target government workers

that we interact with. for example, tsa workers who are being furloughed and yet, we're paying for hard liquor, we're paying-- what is this? oh, there's one, $99,000 on taxpayer funded vodka and yet, you wait in line at the airport. >> the president's goal is to inflict the sequester in the most painful way possible. >> tucker: right. >> in order to extract concessions from republicans, namely tax hikes and we know that's his plan because he refuses to go along with the republican plan to help give him more discretion, and they offered it up, right. >> he's not interested in that. he wants larger tax hikes, he wants higher rates and he is he gotten that in the fiscal cliff deal and-- >> here is what i don't understand. so, the president is pretty good at communicating, of course, and he's very highly -- every day he's on television saying, this is what i'm for, this is what i'm against. why don't republicans get a list of ludicrous wasteful

expe expendturs, and spending 700,000 on a climate change musical? >> i think that republicans are realizing that they can't take the president at his word. i mean, even in the thursday press conference, he said that he doesn't want to increase taxes, he just wants to close loophol loopholes, he's in fact, for something that would -- traditionally tax reform has been reducing rates in return for closing budget -- closing loopholes. the president has already got his rate increase without any spending cuts. now, he wants more tax hikes. and i'm not even sure he wants to close the budget loopholes. and remember in the fiscal cliff deal, a huge carve out to the wind industry. he wants it both ways and republicans are finally realizing that, but i think that the public is going to come around to the fact that week cut 85 billion dollars

out of the budget and the world will not end. >> tucker: i'll clarify when you say that the president raised taxes and he did and cut nothing from government, and that's true, congressman had a solution. appreciate it. the rundown candy easter eggs recalled, what to do before they're in your kid's baskets. and a player who wants to get back into the game, almost 40 years old. can he make the improbable comeback with the help of a reality show? josh, you see him next. ♪ put me in coach, i'm ready to play today ♪ ♪ look at me, i can see center field ♪ [ male announcer ] how do you measure happiness?

>> they're bringing in guys that aren't technically on the 40-man roster which gives some guys some opportunities. they've got triple-a guys and guys on big league rosters last year that weren't on their roster, there's about 60 players in camp right now. i'm one of 60 going after, i guess a second dream for me in baseball and i played a little football, too, it's been an awesome experience and shoot, i feel like i'm he trying to get in shape. i'm 37, but i feel like i'm a young 37. >> tucker: how does that-- 37 seems young for somebody approaching late, but by baseball standards it's not young. how does your body respond? hitting the geritol or-- (laughter) >> running and doing the drills that we do as pitchers and even the others guys to that, that hasn't been very tough for me because i've stayed in good shape, i think. i think where it's getting me is throwing every day, you know, off the mound, bullpen

sessions and sides and things that baseball pitchers do, and you know, i pitched in an interquad game tomorrow and trying to get my arm in shape and that's something i hadn't thrown much in the last six years. i got cut from the raiders playable football in 2007 and camp and hadn't thrown much until last month we were doing the show in florida. so my arm is what needs to come around and it's coming. >> clayton: and the knuckleball, for alisyn who doesn't know, is a ridiculous kind of pitch and there are so few knuckleballers in baseball, when you have a real knuckleballer on the team. i want the guys to room in and show us what a knuckleball is like. you've got a baseball there, a and-- >> it's a four-seam baseball, and most pitchers like this, and when you let it go, it's called a four-seam fast ball,

two-seam fastballs and knuckleball is different, you have to grip with your knuckle or fingertips. and my nails are important to me and i visit the nail salon a couple of days ago, but i hold it a little like that, kind of a long horn look maybe with the two middle fingers and release the ball. stay behind it down the line and the ball like comes out with less spins than a normal traditional pitch therefore, it will cut against the wind and do something different every time. they say it dances and so if you talk to some of the great knuckleball pitchers that, you know, threw the pitch way before me, you know, t nikro brothers and others, if you want to win, lose the spin. >> alisyn: everybody should do that. that's a great little set of instructions there. so when you-- what did you think when you got in the reality show, did you think you were going to

win or start a new career? i didn't know. i knew i was the only guy participating in the show that was a former major league player. i was a first round pick with the florida marlins and played third base and we always would toss the ball in the outfield or shagging, when we were shagging flies or downtown in baseball, that we'd throw the knuckleball in the outfield. i'd thrown it a few times and never coached to throw it and we'd fooled around with it and when i got the opportunity to do the show, i'm thinking now what i've got a leg up on the other guys and other quarterbacks because they've never thrown a baseball. >> clayton: proving you're never too old to go after your dreams. josh, congratulations upon the win and we'll be looking for you this season. and by the way, you have the coolest name in all of sports. >> thank you so much, thank you so much. i enjoyed being with you guys. >> clayton: good luck this season, gosh. >> alisyn: we're going to call you tucker booty. >> tucker: i can throw a

. >> clayton: >> you're listening to the 911 call that unfolded on thursday down there in florida where a guy, jeff bush was sleeping in his bed at the time and the floor just opened up and the bed collapses down into the floor. screams are heard, his brother comes in to the rescue and is also sort of sucked into the hole. police have to come in and try to rescue him out of the hole. and at this hour, we don't know, but jeff bush unfortunately presumed dead. the problem, they can't get into the house and do an effective job of actually getting into this area because

it's so unstable. >> alisyn: that the hole could widen and we in the news hear about sink holes from time to time. cars swallowed them up. we've never explored what it is. we had an expert on earlier to help us understand why these are so dangerous. >> the difficulty that you have in this particular situation is the fact that it's happened within the confines of the house. so, it makes that reconnaissance, that information gathering and an actual rescue, if it were to occur, very difficult. >> tucker: it's actually not as uncommon as you might think. it's not of course uncommon for people to be swallowed up by the earth while sleeping. sink holes are common and especially in a number of states, including florida, texas, alabama, missouri, kentucky, tennessee, pennsylvania, and the reason is these are states that have either had a lot of mining, like pennsylvania, or that have heavy limestone deposits,

limestone corrodes over thousands of millions of years and caverns form and sometimes give way. >> clayton: unfortunately, they're not sure if the houses next to jeff bush's house right now have had to be evacuated and investigators there are drilling indeed because of these natural depressions to see if those houses are also unstable and of course, reporters are having to step back on the other side of the street and using some of the geological equipment and engineering equipment to send in there. and it's not normal that a sinkhole occurs inside someone's house, might occur outside of the house. so in this situation they're having-- they're worried the whole house could collapse. >> tucker: but you'd have concerns if you lived next door to jeff bush. >> clayton: i would, especially when you've been evacuated in the middle of the night because your house may be on shaky ground. >> alisyn: jeff bush is 36-year-old, presumed dead and they're going to try to do some sort of rescue still this

morning, if they can get in there. but it it sounds like the sinkhole was a little like quick sand where you can't get-- >> and the amazing thing, the pictures of the sinkhole is inside the house. >> clayton: can you imagine sleeping and all of a sudden vanishing down the hole? it's unbelievable. we'll have more on this in live reports throughout the day as investigators try to get in there. >> alisyn: and we just have the headlines for you and tell you what else is happening at this hour. 2000 illegal immigrants released from jail thanks to the sequester budget cuts according to a new report by the ap. the newly exposed figures are significantly higher than what the obama administration acknowledged earlier this week as just a few hundred they said. the report says immigration officials plan to release 3,000 more people by the end of the month and the administration denies the new figures. well, a first safety warning involving those marshmallow eggs. a voluntary recall of zachary chocolate covered marshmallow eggs by the maker, there's a possible salmonella

office now and here is the memo. to become the absolute best place to work communication and collaboration will be important, we need to be working side by side that's why it is critical we're all present in our offices and frankly, she's a data driven person, she worked at google and people working from home are not logging into their servers as much as they sad they were. >> tucker: and i would say the first step to figure out what yahoo! is. >> clayton: one question. >> tucker: core mission, what kind of business are you? this has been in my view the problem with yahoo!. preventing people from having flexible work environments, is that really going to save the company. >> clayton: if she thinks that people are there and trying to collaborate and turn yahoo! into a media company perhaps. but hypocritically at the heart of this, she just had a baby and sort of infamously said she wasn't going to do maternity leave and only took two weeks, which that's another debate in and of itself and she comes back to work and builds a nursery in the office next to her so she

can bring her baby to work. let's be honest, most employees at yahoo! don't have that opportunity to build a nursery next-- >> and productivity would not go up if i brought my children to work, i assure you. in the meantime, we have a debate-- >> that would be awesome. chaos. >> alisyn: the debate on "fox & friends". >> decision, coming out with innovative products, they have to be on the forefront of technology at this point and to do that it has to be a combination of people coming together and making sure that there's real-time information going and easy to get that information when everybody is in the same place. >> i think the real story how do we make flexible work succeed for the business and the people. and i don't think you have to throw the baby out with the bath water. i think there are many things that organizations can do, it doesn't have to be an all or nothing. >> clayton: it was a bit dramatic, but i think at the end of the day what's going on here with yahoo! is that this is her way of laying people off. looking at the numbers, we don't want to come out and say we're going to have to fire people or lay people off, in

the tech world that leaves people running for the hills. the people working at home, and we're going to have you come in. >> tucker: and anyone who wears contacts can-- and the problem with u.s. workers is they've been-- are babied and spoiled for too long, that's true. >> alisyn: jeff sends this e-mail, i've done some work from home and you get more done because there are far less distractions and meetings. i think so that's the good side of this. sometimes more productive on your home than gossip and-- >> fewer meetings at home. >> clayton: some people find mentally it's good to go to a building and get your work done and separate that and go home. an e-mail from oakhurst, texas, l.a. writes, every good manager with experience giggles when these companies began this at-homework program because her point about sinn e

today me from athens, alabama and obviously it's not a lot of snow, but if you're in northern alabama, snow covering on your car this morning, that's a snowy day. we're going to see waves of snow move through and temperatures in the 40's and won't see a lot on the ground, but none the less, snow and a winter day even though thank you might be ready for spring across parts of alabama. keep sending your pictures at rick reichmuth on twitter. and don't let it scare you, there will be breaks of sunshine, and temps for the most part in the 40's at least along the coast. chilly day today down across the south. when we get into 44 in jackson, mississippi, another cold night in store as well, but we'll see sunshine down towards the north, and we'll oa little bit of snow. overnight tonight in to a chilly day and across the west spectacular, look the at desert southwest, amazing sunshine, california looking great. and northern northwest, that's where a little bit of rain and snow moving in throughout the day. all right, guys, back to you

inside. >> clayton: thank you, rick. coming up on the show, gas prices sky high, almost $4 a gallon right now. it's not even close to summer yet. why and when can we expect them to go down? we'll ask the former ceo of shell oil about that next.

>> almost $4 a gallon and summer is still months away. right now the national average for a gallon of gas is 3.76, almost a full $2 higher than when president obama first took office. why are prices so high so early in the year? we're asking the former ceo of shell oil, john hofmeister. >> hi, alisyn. >> alisyn: why are prices so high? >> the fifth year in a row that we've seen gas prices accelerate in january, february, and march and it really comes down to one basic fact. the price of crude oil is set by a cartel, which in this

country would be illegal. they're conspiring to hold back the supply in order to keep the price up to a certain level because they depend on the crude oil price to run their country and we're paying for it and it's absurd that after all these years we would have to pay a cartel's price. what we have to do, alisyn, we have to create a competition for fuel. we have to design cars that can take in addition to gasoline, other liquid products like more ethanol or methanal. so we need to shift our thinking and shift to flex fuel vehicles so we can have an alternative competition against the cartel's pricing, that would bring the price down quickly. >> alisyn: there you go. and to give people a context what let's compare to 2009. in 2009 families paying an

average of $2,000 a year, and in 2012, it went up to $2900 a year in other words, we're spending $900 more per year now than we were just a couple of years ago. back in 2007 you gave a warning to barack obama who was then senator obama, before he was elected president. what did you tell him about all this? >> i visited with senator obama during one of his campaign events in st. louis, missouri. and i said, senator, i've read your campaign materials and you have nothing in there with respect to the future of drilling for oil and natural gas in this country. and i'm here to tell you, if you don't have an aggressive program to drill for more oil and gas, if you win the election, you will sit on top of the highest prices of gasoline the country will ever have experienced. we have to get on with producing more supplies because we're in a tight oil age. that's what i said to the

senator. >> alisyn: what was his response? >> well, he said we're going to do biofuels. i said, yeah, we can do biofuel, but we also need more natural gas and oil. he said you're not listening to me, we're doing biofuels and then chose to walk away. not a very constructive discussion so i walked with him. i said, senator, this needs a much longer conversation. we really do need to have an understanding as to how we proceed into the future. >> alisyn: yeah. >> or we pay the highest prices we'll ever pay. >> alisyn: your tenacity is admirable. will prices go down before summer? >> doubtful. maybe a little, but not much. >> alisyn: john hofmeister, thanks so much for coming on. meanwhile, federal reserve chairman ben bernanke says the housing market has hit bottom. so that means it's now time to sell your home? or buy? plus how the sequester will impact the real estate market. we'll have expert analysis

>> my sense is this point early. we're getting some traction in the the housing market. the evidence is that the housing market is strengthening and low mortgage rates are one reason for that strengthening. >> clayton: that's the always dynamic ben bernanke, the fed chair giving an optimistic view of the housing market. saying the market is beginning to bottom out. is now a safe time to sell

your home? let's ask kendra todd, nice to see you this morning. >> you, too. >> clayton: so, ben bernanke says it's bottomed out. what does that mean for buyers, sellers and renters. >> for sellers, it's fantastic news because we have a housing shortage. we haven't seen since 1999. there's only a four-month's supply of housing rights now. for a buyer, it's a bit after frustrating experience because multiple offers seems to be the norm rather than the exception. so if you're thinking about selling and you have the equity in your property to do so, this spring and summer is going to be a tremendous time to sell. >> clayton: what about renters who are caught in that middle phase right now. thinking, well, maybe i should try to get out of the rental game and maybe actually buy that first home? >> well, that's a very good question. we're at an interesting point in the real estate recovery because rental inventory is also significantly low and rental amounts are increasing

on an annual basis. so, it's tougher to find a good rental while you're waiting to buy. >> clayton: also, i guess we shouldn't say this blanketly, right, that across the entire united states it's all the same. you've got areas like detroit and las vegas and other parts of the country that are having a different scenario in play, right? >> absolutely, real estate is always going to be hyper local and you know, the next issue that everyone is asking about is sequestration. how is that going to impact the real estate market. and again, that, you know, that's a hyper-local discussion. the areas that will be impacted are going to be those like washington d.c. that have a high percentage of federal employees. i think the biggest issue or concern, rather, with that is going to be its effect on consumer confidence because that's the biggest driving factor when it comes to real estate. not interest rates, but consumer confidence in the market. >> clayton: and be able to go out and do moment repairs yourself. popping over to home depot and
