10:03 am
furloughs and lay notices are being hurt and the president is worried about the overall impact. >> and it 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 more than 750,000 jobs and slow our economy by over 1/2 of 1%. >> last tuesday, mr. obama traveled to newport news, virginia to spotlight the damage that military towns would suffer as a result of these across the board reductions and the visit to a ship yard where america's nuclear powered aircraft carriers were built. would pressure congress to act noting the threat to tens of thousands of workers. a leading house republican says the commander-in-chief could have been more effective staying home. >> this week, the president traveled 180 miles to newport news, virginia, instead of travelling one and a half
10:04 am
miles to senator harry reid's office on capitol hill to negotiate a replacement of smarter spending cuts. the president failed to act and his senate never passed a bill to replace the sequester. >> reporter: democrats pushed for new tax revenue to replace some of the spending cuts, but g.o.p. leaders made clear they would not do that. they've passed two bills to address the cuts last year, while the senate, led by the president's own party, did nothing. jamie? >> mike emanuel live in washington. mike, great to see you. kelly. >> reporter: thank you. >> kelly: the head of the irs is insisting the spending cuts won't delay tax refunds because the agency will put off any furloughs until the summer after tax season, but acting commissioner steven miller says he will be forced to continue a hiring freeze and make cutbacks in other areas. >> jamie: well, also, we're learning more about the actual number of illegal immigrants released due to the looming budget cuts, according to some

10:06 am
decade isn't a reduction in spending, it's a reduction in the growth of spending, god forbid what our future is we can't do this. >> make sure you're watching, starting with an exclusive interview on fox news sunday with former presidential candidate mitt romney followed by a special edition of the fox report with harris falkner. that's tomorrow night, starting at 6 p.m. eastern, only here on the fox news chann channel. >> jamie: fox news alert now for you out of tampa, florida. rescuers are still searching for a man who was literally swallowed up by a massive sinkhole that opened up underneath his home and fear now that 37-year-old jeff bush is dead. and the job of reaching him is getting more difficult, too, as the ground continues to give way and the hole grows even larger. no one allowed inside that house right now out of the fear the whole house could collapse. >> at this point in time, i've been told by our outside
10:07 am
experts that the site is extremely unstable. this is not your typical sinkhole. this is a chasm that covers a great distance. >> jamie: huge, we are being told. in fact, engineers are running tests now to figure out what caused the earth to open up. five other people inside that house were able to escape unharmed, but bush's brother jeremy jumped into the hole trying to save his brother, he heard screams, but he couldn't find him. when police arrived on the scene, he needed to be rescued. >> i entered, i went into the hallway and when i turned into the bedroom, the only thing that i saw was a hole, and the hole took the entire bedroom. i looked down, and i saw mr. bush, jeremy bush in the hole and he was on the side, trying to get out. the deepest part of the hole, i was looking, you could see the bed frame, the dresser, everything was sinking. i reached down around floor
10:08 am
level, kind of like you're sticking your hand into the floor, got mr. bush by his hand and pulled him out. i looked and i saw no, no one else in the hole. >> jamie: rescuers doing that at great risk, too. the chaos of the moments after the sinkhole was captured in the family's desperate 911 calls to police. listen. >> hard to believe. well, engineers say they may need to demolish the house and several nearby homes also evacuated out of fear the surrounding area could as well be unstable. we'll keep you posted on that. >> a montana family is calling for a congressional investigation into the death of their son in singapore. authorities there declared shane todd's death a suicide,
10:09 am
but the family says todd told them his company was helping china get sensitive military technology and they believe his death is part of a larger coverup. dominique di-natale live with more details. dominic. >> reporter: well, kelly, the todds want the congressionalal investigation because they believe their son was murdered working on sensitive material wanted from china. and his body was found hanging from the bathroom door and the police there claimed suicide at the time. shane was a talented engineer working on cutting edge radar technology for a china telecommunications company. and he told his family they were using him to help china get hands on a system use today compromise the u.s. >> he went back to singapore and started telling us that he was being asked to compromise u.s. security. he was extremely uncomfortable with what they were asking him
10:10 am
to do and he also told us that his life was being threatened. >> reporter: well, much of the official singapore investigation didn't stack up, says parents. his supposed suicide was far too out of character and the scene of the death didn't match the description given by the police and u.s. authorities found his body showed evidence after struggle rather than a suicide. well, that's raised a lot of doubts about whether the singaporens are telling the truth and now his parents want the u.s. government to find out what really happened. on friday met with max baucus of montana and they wanted him to gather support, and telling fox news, he's talked with top white house officials on the subject and going to meet personally with singapore's ambassador. and singapore officials yet to conclude their investigation and the chinese have already denied being involved, but the family still suspects there's a cover going on up there, kelly. >> kelly: dominic di-natale from los angeles, thank you.

10:18 am
in cyanide even though the remains showed no cyanide in his tissues. >> jamie: to washington now, house speaker john boehner make stuck in between a rack and a hard place. and the mandatory budget cuts have gone into effect and he tries to remain in control of the republican budget hawks and his approval rating has dipped. 41% of the americans have an unfavorable opinion of speaker boehner up from just 21% a year ago. and joining us angela mcglowan, analyst, and steven sigman, and democratic strategist. fair and balanced, good to see you guys. >> good to see you. >> jamie: angela, how do you explain particularly this past week on the violence against women legislation, house speaker boehner has reached across the aisle, he has put aside that he doesn't have the majority of his party on certain legislation and still has been able to bring
10:19 am
legislation to a vote. still, his approval rating dips, why? >> yes, his approval rating has dipped because speaker boehner wanted to be like a speaker pelosi or speaker gingrich and push the legislation through the republican party, but boehner is speaker of the house not the speaker of the republican party. so what he's done now, jamie, is taken a page out of tip o'neill's play book. you have to deal with the hand you're dealt and now boehner is playing ball by being nonpartisan bipartisan and that's what you have to do to create a better america. >> jamie: steven, it seems to me that both sides of the aisle have to deal with this issue of a split party on issues and still showing constituents that they can come together in a bipartisan manner, actually get something done. what kind of challenge does the president have and democrats to do what speaker boehner has done? >> well, i think the president has been trying to be
10:20 am
bipartisan and reach across the aisle ever since his presidency started and the republican party has decided that all they want to do is try to stop president obama. look, i think that the speaker's approval numbers make it clear that he's in a very difficult place, between a rock and a republican place because i think that if it were up to him, he and the president would have reached an agreement on the budget long ago, but his party won't let him. the republican hart gone from being the party of balanced budget to the party of cut at all costs and i wish. >> steve. >> jamie: one second, angela. >> i wish he could be like tip o'neill and the party would allow him to act like tip o'neill, very comprehensive with ronald reagan. >> jamie: and the third poll we talked about, guys, talked about the kind of leader is that president obama is viewed as, a fox news poll as well. you can put that one up first,
10:21 am
54% right now, an increase, feel that president obama is a strong and decisive leader and then let me show you this other poll when american voters were asked what the resolutions all of this is. 59% said, the president should be talking with republicans. stephen says he is. why are we where we are, angela, when these cuts went into effect. >> first of all, obama is a great politician, a great orator, but not a great leader. stephen, if i can remind you during the fiscal cliff debates not only did boehner bring in the president's own debt ceiling proposals regarding simpson-bowles, he also adopted nancy pelosi's policy regarding tax increases over people who make over 1 million. the president said that wasn't good enough. when it comes to sequestration, the president said it wouldn't happen and the bottom line is this, when the republican passed two bills to stop sequestration,
10:22 am
the president said he would veto it. perception is reality, the president has the bully pulpit and he's more articulate than boehner, as a republican. >> jamie: let me ask you, from both sides let's talk strategy for a second. stephen, what does the speaker have to do to turn his own numbers around. >> i think he'd have to elect a different house. frankly, he has a membership, a delegation whose commitment is only to doing one thing, cutting government where the american people, clearly, over and over again want a balanced approach like the president has talked about and why his numbers are where they are, that include cutting loopholes, along with significant spending cuts. and angela, you bring up simpson-bowles. simpson-bowles talked about cutting the exact loopholes that the president is talking about, corporate jets and storing your profits in the u.s. and overseas and on and on and republicans--
10:23 am
>> i'm up against the clock. >> and won't allow that conversation to happen. until that conversation is allowed to happen, i think that boehner's numbers are going to stay where they are. >> jamie: angela. >> and frankly almost double what the house's numbers are at 14%. >> jamie: quick response from angela, please. >> first thing boyehner has a diviid have the discussions during the fiscal cliff. it's obama as job to preserve, protect and defend this country and basically your party put politics over policy and that's why we're in the mess we're in today. >> jamie: all right, thank you guys so much. great to see both of you, steve and angela. >> thank you for having me. >> jamie: see you back here again soon. kelly. ♪ >> james brown is a music legends, an american icon and was able to thrill millions around the world. and now, his daughter is carrying on her father's legacy by teaching children to develop a love for life and music and living in america,

10:34 am
so far, of course, no date for a conclave has been set, but the cardinals just keep flying into rome, getting ready for the big event. now, here is how the group of cardinal electors break down and i'm not going to get into the list who might become pope, too long. there are 60 europeans, 21 italians, 19 latin americans, 11 aftricans, 10 asians and 1 australian. someone's name who has come up is cardinal tim dolan of new york. he dismisses that notion, only made a cardinal a few years ago. i asked him if he thinks that they're ready to break from tradition and elect a pope from another continent like an african pope. >> we're always open to the radical and usually with 20/20
10:35 am
hindsight, with the vision that 20/20 vision that hindsight provides. that's vision. and remember when pope john paul died, and we had something different with the john paul ii and the beautiful pontificate and could be more unexpected? could be. >> reporter: now, dolan says when you talk about tradition, the first pope of all, jamie, of course, peter, was a jewish fisherman, so, tradition is something that is kind of relative. but there are several candidates from pretty much every continent and again, people are wondering whether it might be a latin american, an american or whether it will continue to be another european, jamie. >> jamie: of course we won't know until the smoke comes out. thanks so much, amy. and did you know over the past century the number of catholics around the globe has

10:37 am
situations in protection of our freedom and the sanctity of our government. welcome. tell me-- >> thank you very much. >> kelly: thank you, and what is it like, first of all, for you personally to have become a navy seal? because in your book, you explain how grueling the task was, but how dedicated you were to complete the mission. >> yeah, all the folks in the team that become part of the brotherhood and make it past that crucible that is our basic training pipeline that we have so many that do not make the grade. it's transformational and i write about it in the book, calling to serve and i wanted to be a part of the elite brotherhood and make it to the finish line is a special moment in any man's life and served me well and just an honor to be a part of it. >> kelly: the training that we're looking at right now, can you describe for me what's going on right there? >> i can't see-- >> you can't see the clip. we're showing the guys going into the surf and out of the surf, laying on the beach pouring sand over them. that's part of their training. what you describe in the book,
10:38 am
how cold the san diego bay is and the pacific. >> that's right, yeah, i think it shocks people. i think young men get down to southern california and think they're going to hit some temperate water and that pacific current runs through there and the water temp hangs around the 50's to low 60's and you start spending a lot of time in the water in and out of the surf, it starts to play havoc on your body, it's cold. >> kelly: you were mentally prepared for this position because you looked at, i was looking over your life and how you explain you are the grandson of a war hero from world war ii. your father couldn't serve because of having problems with his eyes so there's a medical reason he couldn't serve, but you're serving and you recall how you were inspired by winston churchill. >> right. >> kelly: what is it about churchill that inspired you to become a navy seal? >> you know, in my book, i put the very passage from winston churchill's "my early life" one of his autobiographies that i think lit that fire in me to serve.
10:39 am
so reading his book, it felt to start my professional career, to start to earn my place in this society that we enjoy, that i think is so special in the world, that military service and being the place to do that and the seal teams ended up being my home and it's been quite an honor to participate. >> kelly: and we're showing pictures right now of you receiving the trident pin. and i want to say that your book is not political, it's not liberal, not conservative, it's a straightup book about the valor and the courage of the men who served in this elite fighting force the navy seals and how your training is so grueling, far worse than what the american special forces go through in the army and other branches of service. but, beyond your training, you also pointed out how winston churchill said that no state representative should be in office without some military experience. now, that's, that's about as political as you made it. talking about that war experience and the fact that it tests one's mettle to serve
10:40 am
the public in a greater way. >> the thing that's special about military service and i write about it it a lot, is that you are involved, particularly as an officer and that's a different perspective that's in reque"damn few" the t perspective the way we think about this job. and you have the brothership, you participate in world events and influence world events and seal training is phenomenally tough and we're all in the fight together ap a special group of folks to be a part of? to be sure. and one thing i want to talk about, before we leave you, sir, you talk about the new direction for the seals, the global pursuit team. tell me about that, that's enabled you to capture of folks like usama bin laden and help american hostages as well. >> sure. i think after a decade of sustained combat the military at large will look how we do the job and employ our forces.
10:41 am
in the later chances of "damn few" i took a stab at what we can do to focus on bad guys in the world and utilize the best capabilities of our special operations to get the max return on the battlefield. we're uniquely qualified to do that across the services, rangers, seals, the special operations units as well as the conventional, to create efficiencies and kind of deal with our nation's enemies as we move forward. >> kelly: we thank you for joining us, wish we had more time, a stunning read. >> thank you so >> kelly: you h scottish toast to leave you with, here is to us, who is like us damn few and they're all dead. >> thank you. >> jamie: americans are suffering the big egest income. how it will affect consumer confidence, we'll look at that. >> kelly: and we'll have a new health warning out there, how

10:47 am
if we do that we can become the more competitive globally and america can lead the world for the coming century. i see this as this huge opportunities and it's being squandered by politics, by people who are more interested in a political victory than they are in doing what's right for the country and it's he very frustrating, i have to tell you the hardest thing about losing is watching this, this critical moment, this golden moment just slip away with politics. >> kelly: chris' interview is part of a three-hour special followed by the fox report with harris falkner and an all new fox news reporting showdown with debt row, brought to you by our own john roberts. that's tomorrow night starting at 6 p.m. eastern only here on the fox news channel. >> jamie: there are some new numbers that are showing americans are taking home much less pay than they used to. you might be feeling that pinch. well, overall incomes plunged more than 3 1/2% in january and it's the biggest decline
10:48 am
in 20 years. experts partially blame the payroll tax increase, and michael seymour you and i private wealth strategy, michael, welcome back. >> thank you for having me. >> jamie: great to have you here. here what is we've got. higher gas prices, a little less in our paychecks, and meantime, people are relying on credit cards, so credit card debt is up, but consumer confidence is also up. how do you put that altogether? >> well, you know these days, it seemed to be they would be two completely different things, but i will tell you that in what i've seen in speaking to people, that consumer confidence is up because they believe the worst is behind us, and it doesn't mean that they're necessarily thinking that their personal situation is getting better and better and they're more confident, but i think that those that have jobs feel safer that they're going to keep them, a few more people are getting jobs, which is a tremendous blessing, and i think that people realize that
10:49 am
if they have a job, they're fortunate to have one and i think that's why the confidence is up despite the other headwinds you've mention $. >> confidence is up and consumer spending is up and i'm curious what role an increase in manufacturing is playing in that because we have seen that sector increase. >> well, you know, it's interesting, consumer spending is up, but not in every area, certainly not lately, you know, the bigger ticket items, the big durable things, the refrigerators and the, you know, air conditioning and things like that, those were off a little bit. so, you know, your bigger ticket items which you know, that's the manufacturing sector that makes those things, you know, whether it be cars, things like that, those you know, those sales weren't as robust recently as they have been, so, you know, the spending may be on the smaller ticket items has been up, but it's certainly not across the board. >> jamie: let me ask you, finally, sequestration, automatic cuts, 85 billion, go into effect on friday and now,
10:50 am
here we are, are we going to feel the pinch immediately? not at all? or down the road? >> well, you know, that's what we're all trying to figure out, as you know, you know, a sequester is not something that happens every year or even every decade. so, you know, this is a very new thing, i think you've got a lot of people that are very apathetic or certainly have no confidence in the government's ability to do anything and because it's something we haven't lived through in a while, i think the jury is still out, as to when we're really going to feel the pinch on this, let's face it, when you take all of these billions out of the economy, there's no way it's not going to be felt. >> jamie: right. >> so it's going to affect us. >> jamie: okay, well, we're hanging on and trying to stretch our pay check to the best of our ability. thank you for helping us michael. see you again. >> thank you for having me. >> jamie: kelly. >> kelly: we've got a new warning about the plastic containers you store your

10:56 am
it really affects insulin so prevents it so we get diabetes. many studies about heart disease, a lot of studies about asthma, infertility and now, this particular study from duke is talking about the fact that bpa can inhibit some genes that would prevent our brain development and the nervous system and affects our central nervous system. i want people to take this very seriously and every year i've done a segment on this and we sort of forget about it, but use those glass bottles and stay away from a lot of these plastic and also, the other thing is that we use a lot of this in the microwave and talk about what you need to do to stop and prevent some exposure. >> kelly: so you're recommending to prevent this, we need to use glass bottles or look for something that is bpa-- f.d.a. approved to make sure it it doesn't have bpa in it. >> absolutely, i think that the human services, department of health and human services and they're calling it major
10:57 am
concern. every time they come up with a major concern, kelly you want to watch out. they'll never come out and say, stay away. and f.d.a. shared the same news, bpa found in the plastic bottles, soup cans, all that have stuff is not good for us and affects us, so i want people to be careful about this. what i recommend to a lot of people start drinking from the glass bottles, not plastic. look for bpa-free products and make sure that, you know, start using stainless steel and glass more than plastic. >> jamie: quickly, we talked about it affecting children, does it affect adults. >> absolutely. a lot of studies talk about reproductive systems, fertility, and kids f.d.a. taken it out. bottles, et cetera not approved for kids anymore and hopefully for adults also, we've got to be aware of it. >> definitely got our attention on that. will i see you tomorrow
