3:00 am
>> time for your brew on question of the day responses. earlier in the show we told you about a new fox poll that came out that shows 84% of the people say they are fed up with high gas prices and that may have caused an uptick in support for the building of the keystone pipeline. so we asked do you think the keystone pipeline will help stop growing gasoline prices? debby wrote i do not think it will help until it is actually built. >> opec lowers prices when the u.s. shows independence. >> anthony says no they will find a way to keep prices going up. >> time for a special

3:02 am
have a good day everybody. "fox & friends" starts right now. >>gretchen: top of the phorbg. it is tuesday. -- top of the morning to you. it is tuesday. march 5, 2013. it's a bird, it's a plane? no. a drone. what the heck is a spy craft doing over jfk airport and who thought of it? >>steve: haven't seen much impact from those federal budget cuts yet? you're not alone. but janet napolitano says it's at the airports, she thinks. >> i want to say o'hare. i want to say lax. i want to say atlanta, but i'd have to check. >>steve: she it would have check. to make sure you're scared, the woman in charge of our homeland security says she's even releasing more illegals from jail. thanks, jan. >>brian: time for me to read. ever wonder why we spend billions of dollars on
3:03 am
other nations but nothing useful comes from it? everyone is drunk. "fox & friends" starts right now. mazel tof. [music] >>brian: anna kooiman dancing in the ring, doing a little sparring. she's going to be boxing later against a school professional boxer. i guess that guy sparse for "good morning america." >>steve: good morning, anna. >> good morning. there is a big fight this weekend. we're going to be talking to marcus brown, a 2012 olympian. he's going to be telling me how he's getting prepared mentally and physically and teach me a few moves.
3:04 am
what do you think? >>steve: i want to know where you got the pink gloves. >>brian: you're at pwhraoe -- gleason's boxing gym, a legendary facility. >> cassius clay here, mike tyson, a lot of other famous guys too. >>gretchen: all right. we'll see you take on a tkpwaoeurbgs i think. let's get to your headlines. a drone spotted above one of the nation's busiest airports. a pilot for alital i a says the drone was 1,800 feet above the ground and 200 feet from his plane. the pilot landed safely. remote-control drones are onlyllowed 400 feet of the air and if pilots are going to fly them more than 300 feet, they have to let the airport know about it. a second sink hole
3:05 am
opening up. it is between two nearby homes. officials say it does not pose a danger. really? the original sink hole is 30 feet wide and 100 feet deep. family members of jeff bush have been dropping flowers and pictures into the ground. >> we would like some kind of memorial set there for him. a headstone, bench, somewhere with my mom could sit, sit with her son. that's what we want. that's all we want. is closure for my brother and my mom and dad not to have to go through this no more. >> horrible story. jeremy bush jumped into the hole to try to pull his brother out but got trapped and had to be rescued. >> hugo chavez pofz -- hugo chavez's health taking a turn for the worse. the 58-year-old is said to be clinging to christ and
3:06 am
life right now. he has an undisclosed type of cancer. lay off the booze and beer. that's the message the u.s. sent the united nations diplomats who have been showing up to budget talks apparently drunk. one diplomat compared the environment to a circus with alcohol constantly being stored in the same room where talks taibbi -- take place. the united states wants future budget talks to take place in an inebriation-free zone. it is encouraging diplomats to save the champagne for times they actually succeed. remember the scandal that they had thousands of dollars worth of parking tickets. i thought that was their problem. >>steve: spring may be around the corner but mother nature is reminding us it is still winter. a massive system slamming the northwest.
3:07 am
those in chicago bracing for up to a tpaoft snow. maria molina is in the weather center. maria, we understand big snow in washington, d.c. they are already referring to it perhaps as the snow-quester. because finally washington could be brought to a halt. >> right now it looks like they could see five inches of snow or more. we have a winter storm watch in effect for the d.c.-baltimore area. a lot of uncertainty with the system. the big quo is how cold -- the big question is how cold will temperatures be. we know precipitation in d.c. should begin in the form of rain and switch over to snow. that is going to be what will determine how much snow d.c. should get. right now the center of the storm system is well to the left, across portions of minnesota and into the dakotas where we're seeing some of the heavier snowfall moving into areas of wisconsin, iowa and sections of northern illinois. we have winter storm warnings in effect because it is not just how much
3:08 am
snow we're going to be seeing -- anywhere between four to eight inches of snow in the mountains but the wind will produce whiteout conditions and dangerous conditions on the roadways. travel delays, flight cancellations it the aeurplts. a winter storm watch for d.c. and portions of pennsylvania. we have warnings for higher elevations of west virginia and virginia. the timing of the storm system, as we head into wednesday morning, that snow should be coming down. watch for new jersey, pennsylvania and also into maryland. >>gretchen: other than weather, airport delays, are they really happening because of the sequester? if you listen to the homeland security chief janet napolitano, you would think that it was a big scare-quester looking through her glasses. listen to this. >> we are already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry, the big airports, for example, some of them had very long lines
3:09 am
this weekend. >> specifically where? >> let's see. i want to say o'hare. i want to say lax. i want to say atlanta, but i'd have to check. >> if you did check -- and the telegraph, the united kingdom called everybody and said o'hare, no problem. lax, no problem. atlanta no problem. we don't know exactly what she's talking about, but we did know going into the sequester that took effect on friday that they have done their best to scare us into thinking it would be really bad. it passed and now it's not so bad. >>gretchen: they say they have increased time if you're coming back into the country at customs but i'm here to report that's always been an issue depending on how many flights have come in at that time and how many agents they happen to have there. you could complain about that a long time before the sequester. has there been any change? moving into the other area she talked about, this is a little bit more serious,
3:10 am
with regard to illegal immigrants. >>brian: more are getting out. they said we're going to look at those who don't look dangerous and let them out because we have no choice. at $164 a night to keep an illegal housed up, we can't afford to leave them there. remember the few hundred let out leading up to sequester, now we have hundreds more and maybe thousands more are going to be leaving their prison beds. we'll monitor, ask them to come in once or twice a week and say hi, i'm illegal and then go back to do what they do. >>gretchen: going to put ankle brace hr-ts on them? >> in some cases yes. this flies in the face of what the press reported where 2,000 were released. but what she stressed was the fact that these were the lowest-risk detainees who they were letting out. low, low risk. as it turns out, the very first illegal they detailed in "the new york times," a fellow by the name of anthony williams, an
3:11 am
immigrant from jamaica who has been in detention for something like three years, he overstayed his visa. how low risk was this guy? he violated his probation for assault, battery, and child abuse. now if that's low risk, what do you have to do to get on the high-risk list? >>gretchen: that raises the question we were talking about last week. what happens if these people actually commit more violent crimes if they have been released? who will be responsible since nobody seems to be taking the blame for being the ones who called this into action. instead of trying to calm the fears, the president says just wait because if you haven't felt the pinch yet, it could be coming to you down the road. here's what he told his cabinet members yesterday. >> we're going to do our best to make sure that our agencies have the support they need to try to make some very difficult decisions, understanding
3:12 am
that there are going to be families and communities that are hurt and that this will slow our growth. it will mean lower employment in the united states than otherwise would have been. but we can manage through it. >>brian: the good news is george bush can no longer be blamed. sequester, if unemployment goes up, the g.d.p. goes down, the president of the united states says i told you about sequester. i tried to warn you, i reached out. in fact, i called lawmakers who aren't leaders in their party on the right from senator coburn and others to try to get a deal and it didn't work. brit hume says on bill o'reilly last night, he thinks the president is way out of bounds on this. >> the president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible as long as he can blame somebody else. this is not what we expect of the president. presidents should be prepared to put on their big-boy pants and shoulder responsibility.
3:13 am
and if they're criticized for using that responsibility or authority, so be it. but that is what you expect of presidents. this president seems more inclined to let the chips fall where they may and fall as hard as they might as long as he can blame somebody else. it is very unusual for the president. >>steve: brit hit the nail on the head. presidents have to put on their big-boy pants. in this case, when you look at what's happening, did you know ever since the sequester hit, what the d.n.c. is doing, any time there is a news report of any sequester-related disturbance or disruption, despite how severe it might be, they e-mail it out to reporters. they are e trying to prove we told you the sequester hits are going to be bad and take a look. judging what happened at the airports over the last 72 hours, not so bad so far. >>gretchen: maybe they'll be e-mailing out "the new york times" editorial yesterday because a paper usually favorable to this president wasn't so favorable in the op-ed
3:14 am
pointing out mistakes that have been made with regard to leadership and taking ownership of some of these positions to move the country back in the right direction. >>brian: later we'll tell you maybe the president's biggest objective is 2014. meanwhile this driver never saw this coming. the story behind this unbelievable video ahead. >>steve: democrats talked about mitt romney having money in the caymans. it might have been good political theater but how about doing something to reform our system? stuart varney is wearing his big-boy pants when he comes into the studio. >>gretchen: he's too proper for that kind of language. if you think most hybrids are a bit under sized then this will be a nice surprise. meet the 5-passenger ford c-max hybrid.
3:15 am
c-max come. c-max go. c-max give a ride to everyone it knows. c max has more passenger volume than competitor prius v and we haven't even mentioned... c-max also gets better mpg. say hi to the super fuel efficient ford c-max hybrid. and you wouldn't have it any other way.e. but your erectile dysfunction - you know, that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications,
3:16 am

3:18 am
>> the u.s. has the highest corporate tax rate in the world and with tax hikes kicking in for all, companies and individuals are stark cash in offshore -- are stashing cash in in places like the cayman islands. >>gretchen: how can we keep the u.s. from dodging these taxes? ask stuart varney. good morning. >> it is more important to ask how can we get corporations with $1 trillion overseas to bring it back home to stimulate the u.s. economy? the answer is very simple. you lower the corporate tax rate, which in america is the highest in the world. >>gretchen: is it 9.2%? >> the combined total federal tax on corporations is 39%, the highest in the world, even higher than japan. >>brian: we're never going to get down to zero so cayman is always going to look more attractive? >> yes but if you were to cut the tax rate on corporations maybe they would be more inclined to bring that money back and
3:19 am
put it to use in the united states. look at apple. they have got $137 billion in cash. $97 billion is outside the united states. if you were to cut that tax rate down to 20%, that would be a huge tax savings for the apples of the world. they could bring some back to the united states and that would stimulate the economy. it is the best way of getting a big private-sector boost to america's economy. but the president will not do it. >>gretchen: is this only talking about revenue and how it's taxed? or does this also affect overseas jobs? is that why more jobs are being shipped out of the country? >> that is a totally separate issue. this cash is stashed overseas because it was made overseas. >>brian: legally. >> totally legally. but if you bring it back to america, it's taxed at the highest rate in the world. people and corporations are just like phil mickelsons of the world. you get high tax, you leave.
3:20 am
what are you laughing at? >>gretchen: i love your pronunciation. >> people and corporations are exactly -- money moves to avoid high tax rates. >>brian: if you lower the corporate tax rate, that will stimulate the economy and make us more comet alternative. >> i forget when it was but there was a tax holiday. bring your money back, bring it back to america in this period of time and there is no tax on it or low period of tax. >>gretchen: you would think the president would be stimulated to make this kind of decision especially now because today the news is tax revenues in the united states are at a record high. today a record high. but when you have the belief that policies need to spend more, then maybe you don't have that mind-set. >> the president is going the other way on corporate tax rates. he wants to tax worldwide cash and assets and profits as opposed to just the cash repatriated to the united states. the president is raoly now
3:21 am
reaching -- is really now reaching, trying to reach outside the united states to money made legally elsewhere. >>brian: jack lew is treasury secretary and this guy took a huge bonus during the market crash. then he says there is money in the cayman islands which he says he had no idea was there. >> it is okay for mr. lew to have money in the caymans but not okay for mitt romney. >>brian: he's a horrible person. >> i didn't say that. >>gretchen: we'll be watching you at 9:20 eastern time this morning on the fox network. i catch you in the elevator when i start out. and i continue up. coming up on the show, brand-new details about the worker at a retirement center who refused to give a dying woman c.p.r. new details could change your mind about what happened. >>brian: is now a good time to be giving egypt millions of our money especially when we're
3:22 am
gutting our own money? a four-star general live [ male announcer ] everyday thousands of people are oosing advil®. my name is taho and i'm a fish guy. it's a labor of love. it's a lot of labor and it's a lot of love. i don't need to go to the gym. my job is my workout. you're shoveling ice all day long. it's rough on the back. it's rough on the shoulders. i get muscle aches all over. advil® is great. pain and soreness is just out of the picture.

3:25 am
>>brian: quick headlines. the f.b.i. releasing brand-new files on whitney houston. the feds were watching her back around the same time she was doing "the bodyguard." that came out in 1992. the reason? she was targeted for blackmail about a friend who threatened to spill the bean on her romantic relationships. one day after hatching the plan for peace with kim jong un, dennis rodman was booted from a hotel for disturbing the peace.
3:26 am
he was reportedly booted out of a hotel from new york city after spending hours upon hours at the bar telling anybody who would listen what a great guy the north korean dictator is. sound familiar, steve? >>steve: you can't pin that on me. nearly $43 billion is being gutted from our military while $250 million is now being shipped over to egypt. skater john kerry says -- secretary of state john kerry says that money is to help foster democracy, but is now the time for this? let's talk to retired four-star general jack keane. i saw on the television yesterday sequester jester, it showed john kerry handing $250 million over to egypt right now in foreign military aid. where is that money going to go? >> i don't know what he's going to do with the money but egypt represents one of the most significant geopolitical challenges we're facing. the reality is this was a secular state run by a
3:27 am
dictator. it is now a state becoming more and more dictatorial. >>steve: because of the muslim brotherhood. >> it has a history of terrorism. one would think if we gave them that aid, steve, that there are conditions associated with it that don't have to be announced that have been agreed to. one would be continue to support the peace treaty with israel. two, do not support hamas or facilitate egypt in supporting hamas, at least the territory itself. also to move towards a democratic reform and stop consolidating power and excluding people from being a part of the power-sharing process. that's what he's doing. >>steve: can we afford this right now, to be able to give the country of egypt $250 million? i mean, we did the math. take a look at what tkors tkors -- $250 million could be used for in this country. housing for military, border security, victim compensation in the 9/11
3:28 am
fund, dispense nuclear waste disposal. maybe we should be spending the money here before we spend it over there. >> we have a foreign aid budget and that is going to be hit by sequester, so it's going to be reduced. i think foreign aid in principle is good. the timing of the thing is awful. that's for sure. and certainly i think it has a lot to do with the fact that we have a new secretary of state. this is his first visit into the region, into one of the most influential countries in the region. and i think he's trying to gain some influence himself. i just hope that there truly are conditions, and this is just not a handout. >>steve: staebgt. running up to the sequester, we heard from leon panetta, secretary of defense, these sequester cuts would hollow out our military. so far from what you've heard, what's been the impact? >> readiness for the
3:29 am
military. less ground forces able to train together in groups they need to train in. as a result of that, you're less effective. that's the first thing that will begin to take place, some of that this year. >>steve: ultimately less safe? >> in time if the sequester stays, there is no doubt about that. we will have less ships, period. we'll have less troops and we'll have less airplanes. and the technology improvements that we need to maintain our edge in time, that will diminish as well. if the sequester stays in place. >>steve: general jack keane, always a pleasure. straight ahead, call it the i am mack has deception -- the immaculate deception. a bogus bishop made his way into the closed-door meeting of the cardinals. how did that happen? there's no getting past anna kooiman, right? >> getting ready for the big fight at the barclays
3:30 am

3:34 am
>> dennis rodman visited north korea. dennis rodman visited north korea. dennis rodman came back, he said president obama should call north korean leader kim jong un. unfortunately president obama was busy discussing iran's nuclear capabilities with scottie pippen. but he'll get to it. >>gretchen: that was a little crazy. there's an update to the dennis rodman story too. apparently he was very jovial at a bar a couple blocks down this way last night tell all his stories. >>steve: there's the addition. apparently he had a number of other media appearances and they have been canceled. >>brian: what a subject. he's still on "the apprentice" and i'll follow that story. >>gretchen: because he went to north korea, i
3:35 am
thought it would last to the end. a nurse's refusal to give c.p.r. to a dying woman in assisted living now a criminal case. heather joins us with the details. why are the police involved? >> they're concerned it was a criminal act that this nurse did not perform c.p.r. on this woman dying. think about about the policy at this nursing facility or assisted living facility. basically don't perform c.p.r. if someone is dying. what kind of policy is that? where somebody can die in front of your very eyes. it is obviously stirring up a whole lot of controversy and this all started with a dramatic 911 call after an elderly woman collapsed this call lasted more than 7 minutes. >> is there a person willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not let her die. >> that call was more than seven minutes long. the nurse on that call refused to give c.p.r. and
3:36 am
the woman later died at the hospital. police are not releasing this woman's name but they are conducting a criminal investigation. officials at the hospital say the company policy prohibits employees from performing c.p.r. because they are not a skilled nursing facility. skilled nursing facilities have doctors and nurses on staff. that is the difference. police say they haven't found any laws broken just yet. >> at this point to date we have found no culpability. that is going to take time to sort out the details. there are facts we need to look through. >> authorities say they are reviewing their c.p.r. policy. the victim's daughter who is also a nurse, by the way, says she is satisfied with how that nurse acted. the 911 dispatcher on that call, the woman who tried so heroically to get that nurse to do something, she is not being investigated. >>brian: what is the rule? if it says do not resuscitate, does that
3:37 am
include c.p.r.? >> do not resuscitate is one thing. if someone is in a coma and there is a d.n.r. on them, that is different than someone collapsing in a nursing facility. >>gretchen: is this what we've come to where people cannot be good samaritans anymore for fear they might be sued if the end of the outcome is not positive? what got me is that 911 dispatcher saying are you human? do you have a human feeling there? and isn't there someone there, a grounds person, someone you can flag down to help out? i would say it is not so much as a lit teupblgs issue but where are we as a society where we're willing to see somebody go down, on the verge of death and stand there and do nothing. these are our most vulnerable people, young children and the elderly. if we can't protect them, we're lost. >>brian: peter johnson
3:38 am
will be on to talk about this. >>steve: you've heard of wedding crashers but what about a cardinal crasher? a bogus bishop there on the left crashing a top secret meeting before the conclave at the vatican. he is shaking hands and talking to the cardinals and bishops after he got through security. one sign he was a fake? he said he was from the italian orthodox church which does not exist. upon closer inspection, his sash turned out to be a scarf which was shorter than the others. swiss guards eventually caught on to him and gave him the boot. >>brian: can i offer my opinion. the fedora? >>gretchen: his robe only went down to mid calf. >>brian: casey anthony is admitting she's living off the kindness of others. she made her first public appearance since being acquitted of murdering her
3:39 am
daughter. she was forced into bankruptcy court to answer questions about her finances. she is 26, $800,000 in debt. does not have a job, does not own a car. >> some of the money has come from unsolicited donations from various individuals and some of the other money also came from [inaudible] >>brian: her lawyer says she never received an offer to tell her story. >>steve: i think i read she did get $200,000 from abc for the rights to family pictures. >>gretchen: he once threatened to use nuclear weapons against hundreds of american cities but this week he'll be greeted with open arms at the pentagon. the chinese major general is visiting washington, d.c. part of a u.s. military exchange program. in 2005 he told u.s. reporters china would use nukes against the u.s. >>brian: good to see him. >>steve: these drivers never saw this coming, but their camera rolling.
3:40 am
look at that. they caught the exact moment a train smashed into an 18-wheeler. it happened in magnolia, texas. the trailer got stuck on the track. the conductor had no time to stop. the impact sent debris everywhere. thankfully nobody was hurt. >>brian: "fox & friends" heading to the ring with anna kooiman in brooklyn at the famous gleason boxing gym getting ready for fight night. >> this weekend, saturday night at the barclays center bender -- we've got bernard hopkins. this place is famous. mike tyson here, cassius clay training here in brooklyn. we've got a special treat for you. marcus brown, 2012 olympian, 22 years old, 175 pounds, 6'2" coming in to do an interview.

the 29-year-old ex of george soros hiring a famous lawyer for her court battle against the billionaire. he is the same guy who represented demi moore and a super model. the brazilian actress says soros reneged on giving her a $1.9 million apartment. gretch, over to you and the judge. >>gretchen: imagine this story. a child is punished for disarming a gunman and protecting his peers on a bus. a florida high school student suspended from school after he wrestled a loaded gun away from a student who was threatening to shoot. according to reports he was given emergency suspension for being part of an incident where a weapon was present. is this zero tolerance going too far? where's the common sentence joining us is senior
3:49 am
analyst judge napolitano. how do you break this case down? >> this is a misguided rule. the rigid enforcement of which has produced an injustice. you have a young man here who saved the life of a fellow student. a deranged student with a gun, football player with a gun, comes in and menaces another student. this kid comes by and wrestles the gun away from him. by doing that, he saved the life of the target and he saved the life of all the other students there, and he gets suspended. it's sort of putting society in a position where you're afraid to do the right thing, like the nurse in the nursing home situation you talked about a few segments ago. it's human nature to want to save an innocent life. there shouldn't be an official punishment for engaging in an act of heroism like this. >>gretchen: the rule there is zero tolerance. you believe that there should be an exception to the rule, that there should
3:50 am
be some sort of an amendment saying something to the effect of except when reasonably necessary. >> to save a life. the zero tolerance is for fighting. a fight could be defensive. if someone strikes you in the mouth with their fist, you have the right to repel them to prevent them from striking you again. if someone is about to kill somebody and you have the means to stop them, you have the natural right, some would even argue the duty to stop them. when the police in schools suspend a child for going like this with his finger, mimicking a gun and the same mentality suspends a child for tkwupbgd -- defending the innocent lives of oh something is wrong. the police can't be everywhere all the time. the police recognize that. >>gretchen: here is the school statement. we cannot discuss specifics involving students. florida law allows a student to be suspended immediately pending a hearing. you've got to feel for the
3:51 am
parents of this child as well who probably raised a good kid and taught him the right lessons and now a confusing lesson being taught. >> he's the goat. we don't know what happened to the guy with the gun. presumably he's been arrested and being prosecuted for attempted murder. >>gretchen: judge, thanks very much. we just cut our military budget but a political portrait untouched and it's costing you millions. we'll tell you that story. is your doctor nice? rested? is that important? dr. samadi is here with the traits you need to look traits you need to look for. one. two. three.

>>steve: is your doctor friendly? is your doctor well rested? and are those important qualities is in a doctor? >> steve, you're not asking me those questions. dr. samadi is here, a member of our medical a team. he's here with traits all doctors should have. >>steve: you all should be friendly? >> i think that's a big part of this. choosing a doctor is a relationship. it's a trust. you're putting your life in this person's hands. more people spend time -- more time buying a house or car. but when it comes to doctors, they basically go along with whatever they see. it's very important, especially when you're in a doctor's office, pay attention. look at the way the secretaries are interacting. look at a doctor's interacting. >>steve: what if your doctor takes his or her time? what does that stphaeu >> now the average time
3:56 am
doctors are spending with a patient is about 7 to 10 minutes. that's not a lot of time. because of the pressures of the insurance companies, et cetera. you want to be with a doctor that listens to, pays attention to what you're telling him. you're bringing your symptoms, your story. if he's rushing you, that's not a good sign. there was a time you want to choose all this and the guy that could barely walk, they would say that's the most experienced doctor. that's not existent anymore. you want to make sure the guy is not too young, not too old, somewhere in between. and experience matters. what he's done with his career is very important. bedside manner is what we think is the big part of this. how you relate to your patients. do you care? are you compassionate about your work? is it just another job? >>gretchen: doctors are so rushed trying to make ends meet. it used to be that doctors were very successful financially, but now with obamacare and medicare and medicaid, they're trying to see as many patients as
3:57 am
possible. it's a fine line there. how do you know if they're well rested? do you ask them how many hours of sleep they got? >> you want to pay attention to the way he looks, to the way he carries himself. does he take care of himself? if he's always yawning, if he's tired, extremely overweight, 300 pounds and giving you a lecture about losing weight or if he smells like a cigarette and telling you to stop smoking, that's bad news. you want to pay attention if you're in a doctor's office. interview them. see if they pay attention to you or brush you off. >>brian: do you flat-out say when is the last time you went back to school or took a class or say something like i saw something in the paper the other day. did you see it? >> you want to test your doctor to see if he's up to date, if he's reading about research. if you go to google there is rate m.d.'s, u.s. top doctors, there is a list of
3:58 am
things you can check. when you come in, you want to come in with a set of questions. do you know about this study? what do you think about this? >>steve: you want a doctor who doesn't judge you and does not dismiss your concerns. >> you want to be in a place where the guy is professional, he cares. absolutely, those are important points. >>steve: we've made a decision. you should be an important part of the medical a team and you are. he's well rested. he's up to date. >>gretchen: washington can't figure it out, but governor jeb bush can. he has the solution to our illegal immigration problem and he says amnesty is not the answer. >>brian: a lot of things your credit bureau will not tell you. like dispute are not their like dispute are not their thing. [ phil ] when you have joint pain and stiffness...

gretchen's children. can you withstand their challenge? "fox & friends" starts now. >>steve: i think that is the first time we've ever seen your dog. >>brian: he's huge. he's bigger than the kids. they say they can't walk him because together they don't equal his weight. >>steve: this segment is to show kids in grade school and middle school and high school have work we can't figure out. >>brian: gretchen's kids had five questions. we just had three. >>gretchen: no. they had three. my daughter asked two and my son asked one. i don't know if we have the same questions, though. >>steve: we're going to find out this half-hour. >>brian: i just know i'm going to get them wrong. >>gretchen: i'll get them wrong. in the meantime let's bring news this morning. we have breaking headlines.
4:04 am
a very unusual sighting at one of the nation's busiest airports. >> a drone out there. >>gretchen: a pilot spotted it while coming in for a landing at tph-fbg. he says the -- at jfk. he says the drone was 1800 feet above the ground and 200 feet from his plane. >>brian: it had propellers. >>gretchen: new details on a nurse's refusal to give c.p.r. to a dying woman. it is now a criminal case. >> it's a human being. is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >>gretchen: the 87-year-old victim died later at the hospital. police aren't releasing the name of the nurse on that call. officials at the facility defended her actions saying they prohibit employees
4:05 am
from performing c.p.r. because they are not a skilled nursing facility. police say so far they haven't found any laws were broken. >> at this point to date we have found no criminal culpability of the employees. that is going to take time to sort out the details. there is a lot of facts in the case we need to look through. >>gretchen: the facility says they are reviewing their c.p.r. policy. the victim's daughter who is also a nurse says she is satisfied with how that particular nurse acted in her mother's case. a second sink hole opening up in florida two miles from the one that swallowed a man killing him. the new hole between two nearby homes, you can see it on your screen. officials say it doesn't pose a danger. we're getting a look at the original sink hole. it is 30 feet wide, 100 feet deep. family members of jeff bush have been dropping flowers and pictures into the ground, frustrated his body hasn't yet been recovered. >> they said the ground is
4:06 am
too unstable to do anything, but they got all this heavy equipment on there pulling stuff out and everybody is cheering for everything coming out of the house. i've had enough of the cheering of the stuff of the memories coming out of the house. i feel they could have tried harder to try to get my brother out of there. >>gretchen: that's jeremy bush. he jumped into the hole to try to pull his brother out but had to be rescued himself. a four-year-old boy who somersaulted twice out of a four story window didn't just survive the fall. he landed on his feet. the accident happened as his mom was cleaning the apartment in colorado. she moved a sofa against the wall and dylan climbed on and fell out of the window. >> i fell. >> how far did you fall? >> really, really far. >> oh my god, i feel beyond lucky. there must have been something watching over dylan that day. >> there had to have been angels watching over him. >>gretchen: incredibly
4:07 am
dylan was hospitalized for just 20 hours and released with hardly a scratch. those are your headlines. that's a lucky day for that family. >>steve: guardian angel action probably right. a brand-new winter storm system bearing much of the midwest and snow is heading to the east. snow started falling in minneapolis today. chicago getting slammed and the nation's capital bracing for the snow-quester, perhaps the most snow in two years. maria molina is outside. she thinks it's funny because it's winter. it's supposed to snow. >> getting snow in d.c. we haven't seen significant snow in the d.c. area in about two years. finally we're going to be seeing potentially over five inches of snow in that area. also including the baltimore region. winter storm watch in effect in d.c. and also baltimore. the center of the storm is well off towards the west across the city of minneapolis, producing heavy snow. we've been seeing had that snow coming down throughout the overnight hours.
4:08 am
winds gusting 30 miles per hour at times. chicago, you will be dealing with some of the worst conditions today. you could see up to a foot of snow today. again, winter storm watch in effect for the d.c. area. by tomorrow morning you're going to be seeing potentially some snow. there is a chance rain could be mixing in. that's what keeps that uncertainty very high in terms of how much snow we're going to be getting in that area across the mid-atlantic. high certainty that the high elevations of the state of west virginia, virginia, pennsylvania and maryland, just to the west of the d.c. area -- we're talking two counties to the west of d.c. -- should be getting significant snow. 6 to 12 inches. some of the highest elevations could be seeing 18 inches of snow. this will be a very low coolized event -- localized event. the question remains what happens after the storm impacts the mid-atlantic? right now the models are trending towards a more
4:09 am
northly solution. new york city, you need to watch out for this storm. what we do know is the winds will be very strong. atlantic city could be seeing wind gusts 50 to 60 miles per hour at times. that will be impacting us here in new york city wednesday, thursday and friday. >>steve: if we had to vote, we would vote on it going out to sea rather than up the coast. thanks a lot, maria. >>brian: if you haven't seen any impact from those federal budget cuts yet, you are not alone. but president obama and cabinet members are still warning member to brace for impact. >> good morning, brian. president obama held his first cabinet meeting of his second term and said he'll do all he can to minimize the effects of that sequester budget cut situation. it was a major topic on yesterday's agenda. >> obviously we're going to be spending time talking about the potential impact of the sequester on all the agencies across the board.
4:10 am
it is an area of deep concern. i think everybody knows where i stand on this issue. we are going to manage it as best we can to try to minimize the impacts on american families. but it's not the right way for us to go about deficit reduction. >> meantime homeland security chief janet napolitano saying yesterday furloughs will begin for air traffic controllers and t.s.a. staff will be reduced through a hiring freeze. she advises travelers to get to the airport extra early. democrats are hoping the cuts will put pressure on republicans to support the president's balanced approach, including new revenues along with less spending and republicans are blaming the president for trimming the budget in the worst possible way with across-the-board cuts. and they warn americans will indeed feel the impact. >> first of all, given where we are and the situation we're in, every american is going to have to experience some pain. that's true. whether this will or not, it all depends on how it's
4:11 am
administered and whether or not we give the president the flexibility to make it as painless as possible. >> meantime, house republicans proposed a government funding plan which gives the military more money for readiness, softening the blow from a $43 billion pentagon sequesters cut. brian. >>brian: thanks, steve. meanwhile, let's talk about what the budget looks like right now. it turns out our revenue is pretty high. historically high. >>gretchen: an all-time high. look at this record. in 2010 the revenue was $2.2 trillion. in 2011, $2.3 trillion. in 2012, $2.5 trillion. the projection for this year is an all-time record breaker at $2.7 trillion. you might say to yourself, with all this extra revenue coming in from taxes, shouldn't we be able to get rid of some of our debt in the process? or should we spend more money? >>steve: i think that's the problem. we're spending too much. we're taking in plenty, but
4:12 am
we spend a whole lot. of course the president of the united states wants the republicans to cave on taxes. it's all part of his plan. plus this: interestingly enough over the weekend "the washington post" and the white house can't be happy about this. they pretty much reveal the president's second-term strategy. apparently on election night the president called up nancy pelosi and steve israel. he runs the reelects democrats in the house campaign. and he said i'm going to make it my goal of my second term to make sure that nancy pelosi is speaker in the last two years, because he wants to push gun control, immigration, climate change and fix the economy the way he wants to fix the economy. >>brian: and he's going to do it by raising money in $500,000 chunks. he wants to get $5 million out there. he's got -- wants to get $50 million program. he wants to get the o.f.a. program to do it. if he does it he will do
4:13 am
those liberal things steve mentioned. compare it to what ronald reagan, george bush and bill clinton did. they came to the middle. >>gretchen: don't you remember before the inauguration we had the discussion that president obama would come to the middle because so many other presidents have. even people who are mostly liberal said this president is too busy campaigning instead of actually getting some compromising policies done. >>steve: yesterday jay carney was asked is 2014 a focus? he goes no, not a focus for this administration which did sound, according to the "wall street journal," like spin because they got caught. >>brian: schools are paying kids 100 bucks for doing well on a test. is this really a good idea? we're going to report and you're going to cash in. >>steve: is amnesty a solution to our immigration problem? governor jeb bush says no. he has his own solution
4:17 am
4:18 am
>> gretchen: you have been talk being it for a long time f florida where immigration has been in focus for some time. what is the main message of your book now? what are you going to do to solve the problem? >> the book has two underlying premises. we are a nation immigrants. we have an immigrant heritage that helps our country grow and prosper. but we're also a country where the rule of law prevails. and that dynamic tension is where we try to look at how you create comprehensive reform as it relates to border security. some status, path to legalized status for immigrants here that doesn't create another magnet for immigrants to come illegally, a focus on economic immigration, really trying to drive our economy by bringing the best around the world, focus on civic education. these are the things we propose. we suggest it should be done in a comprehensive way. not one off. >> steve: exactly. your brother had suggested some sort of a guest worker program.
4:19 am
do you like that idea? what do you do with the 11 or 12 million who are already here? >> we do like a guest worker program. a lot of our agricultural jobs are moving to other countries. alabama suffered billions of dollars in losses when they got rid of a bunch of their immigrants. we think there ought to be a predictable flow, that it ought to be market driven rather than government. we also support dramatic increases in the number of high skilled visas that we give. only 13% of our immigrants come for economic reasons. that's the lowest of any country in the world. >> brian: governor, i know you feel this because your wife is hispanic background, your son just married a canadian of iraqi descent. you are truly a melting pot family. >> like a lot of american families. >> brian: exactly. but you hear at the dinner
4:20 am
table. you talk about it's not president mitt romney. one of the reasons is you feel that the census, the change not guilty this country, the hispanic vote. have a way to be -- is there a way to be strong on immigration and be pro-hispanic. >> there is clearly a way. you have to listen to people. listen to their aspirations. immigration is not the driving issue, number one issue among latino or asian voters. but you see the huge majority that president obama got, the wherein why he won many of the swing states a. message more positive, more open is the solution. >> brian: your brother had it, but this generation of republicans -- >> we've become more reacting to the overreach by our opponents rather than proposing positive solutions. that's why i admire -- we wrote this book last year in anticipation of it being published and this year you've seen a lot of movement towards trying to build cop tenacious --
4:21 am
consensus. >> gretchen: speaking of motivation, will we find a consensus and should members of congress use this book to learn how to get the job done? >> i would suggest that if those that had been opposed to immigration reform of any kind, if they read the book, they might find a place where they might be for something. >> the biggest impediment to reform so far has been barak obama who continues to play politics with the issue. he recognizes that it's a painful issue for republicans and they really haven't entered the game. so we need to come up with a solution and we need to force the president's hand. >> steve: speaking of politics, what do you think? 2016? >> good question. >> steve: are you going to run for president of the united states? >> only if he runs as my vice president. >> steve: answer the man. >> i'm not going to think about either position for a while. >> brian: i will say this, here is the question we have for
4:22 am
marco rubio. he's almost a protege of yours. if he gets if, will that keep you out? >> it's way too early for him or me. we live in the same zip code. >> steve: it would be awkward. >> i'm glad you know it's public. >> steve: i'm a homeowner in florida. clint, governor, thank you. >> it's cozy here. >> steve: thank you very much. >> brian: if they use it for a preparer, i hope they pay for it. >> gretchen: coming up, five things a credit bureau won't tell you, like disputes are not their thing. a shock secret, we'll tell you next. >> steve: and we're slashing our military budget. but don't worry. we're spending the money wisely on portraits of politicians my wife takes centrum silver. i've been on the fence about it.

it's not what you think. so i guess my wife was right. it's a phoenix with 4 wheels. it's a hawk with night vision goggles. it's marching to the beat of a different drum. and where beauty meets brains. it's big ideas with smaller footprints. and knowing there's always more in the world to see. it's the all-new lincoln mkz.

4:27 am
other than business. >> gretchen: thank you. we all know the credit bureaus are keeping tabs on your credit history. but they're also keeping quiet on things that could cost you big time. personal finance expert is here to tell us five things the credit bureaus won't tell you. why? why do think keep secrets? >> dirty little secrets of the industry. the first one, you don't want what we're selling. >> they could sell you your credit score, right? this may just be an educational score. just sort of your credit history. it's not necessarily at that relevant score that they use. they use the fica for most lending decisions. you need to go to myfico.com. that's $20. >> gretchen: do you recommend that? >> yes. >> gretchen: two, what we know could cost you a job. >> nearly 50% of employers pull credit reports. perfectly legal in some states. they can do so. all they have to do is get
4:28 am
written permission from the prospective employee. they do that. they look. if they don't like what they see, any kind of blemishes, any kind of spotty record, you have a lot of debt, you could be denied the job. >> gretchen: aren't you in a bind if you're looking for a job and say will you sign off on this? >> if you don't, you have to have a good explanation to why. you're caught between a rock and hard place. >> gretchen: is that you or someone pretending to be you? this is a huge concern with identity theft, right? >> that's right. one, when you find out you're a victim of identity theft, it's a disaster. but if people don't find out 'til they pull their report, that's a big, big problem here. the problem really is that their loose matching procedures could lead to this. so your social security, your name, all that may be closely matched to somebody else's and your file ends up in someone else's. it's a big, big mess. obviously bad credit history where it really hurts and that's in the wallet. >> gretchen: do you recommend to
4:29 am
people to check this out frequently? >> check it out at least once a year, just to see if there are any blemishes. a new study out shows errors are pretty prevalent. >> gretchen: disputes are not our thing? >> only 15% of disputes are resolved internally. the rest are passed on. the issue is whether or not all that relevant information you gathered to make your case, document to show there have been errors, letters from lenders, canceled checks, all of that stuff, whether or not it makes it to the relevant parties is questionable. if it doesn't, then how can they conduct an investigation that is honorable? >> gretchen: the flip side is if you bypass a dispute, it will cost you. >> right. if you think they have wrongly disputes your dispute, you have the right to take it to court. but if you bypass them all together and go directly to the enders and the lender finds
4:30 am
there is no error, then you lose that right, you forfeit that right to take it to the higher level. again, consumers are stuck between a rock and hard place. the best way to deal with this is actually go through the proper channels which goes through the bureaus and it's a long, lengthy, tedious process, but if you don't take it through the process and you let them have their way, then that bad credit, that issue is going to stay on your report for seven to ten years, whether it's a bankruptcy or foreclosure filing, something of that regard, until it's gone. that's a long time. >> gretchen: no kidding. that's how long you're supposed to keep your tax documents. sorry to bring up that issue. >> april 15 just around the corner. >> gretchen: great to see you. get all your records together if you haven't done it yet. coming up on this show, are you smarter than my eight-year-old? >> what's up? here is my math question for you. what's the size of the missing angle? >> gretchen: my kids are putting

so it's not threatening any homes. it's underneath the fence in the backyard. good news here, no one was hurt. that first sinkhole, however, opened up thursday night, again, less than two miles away. that is where the man sleeping in his bedroom was swallowed up by that sink hole, jeff bush. his body is not going to be recovered. we have been speaking with his brother throughout this situation and here is some of what he has to say this morning. >> what i would like is some kind of memorial set there for him. a head stone, a bench, somewhere where my mom could sit, sit with her son. that's what we want. that's all we want. closure for my brother and my mom and dad not to have to go through this no more. >> now that house has been demolished and stabilized. they have stabilized that area. but again, engineers will be out at both sites trying to determine exactly what is going on in this area this morning. gretchen? >> gretchen: all right. april kellogg live for us in florida, thanks for that update.
4:41 am
>> brian: you can be prepared for a lot of things, but for a sinkhole, not really. >> steve: a study says something like only one in 20 adults parents can help their eight-year-olds with their math homework. today we're going to put it to the test. everybody out there, put on your thinking caps like we will. >> gretchen: yeah, because brian and i happen to have this age bracket of kids at home. so our kids helped you and us out by videotaping the questions that we want to see if you can answer at home as well. so here is the first one. put on your thinking cap. >> number one, 3 times 3, 4 times 2? >> gretchen: my husband will be glad to know that i've changed the last name of my child. anyanyway, what's the answer? >> steve: we answer right here. >> brian: the answer is there.

4:45 am
$200,000. >> steve: these answers are not right. 3%, right? 3% of 200,000 is 6,000. it's 6,000! come on. >> brian: no one is helping us in the control room. >> steve: who gave us those answers? >> brian: during the jeb bush interview i get all kinds of help. >> gretchen: does someone have a calculator on their phone? >> brian: don't blame kaitlyn. she's at school right now. >> gretchen: nobody is helping us out rate now. is it 6,000? i think it is. coming up, outrage over the -- >> brian: thanks to the children. >> gretchen: outrage at the retirement center who refused to give a woman cpr. >> steve: want to know whether you're having a boy or girl? don't try to analyze the baby bump. there is another part of the body to look at. >> brian: i just use the needle

>> steve: the story of a california woman 87 years old whose refused cpr by a staffer at a nursing facility due to their strict policies. here is the 911 call. >> we need to get cpr started. >> okay. >> we can't do cpr. >> then hand the phone to the passer-by. anybody there can do cpr. give them the phone, please. they're refusing cpr and let her die. as a human being, is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >> steve: that 87-year-old woman did die and the retirement home is standing by the nurse saying she followed their policy. so if you have a loved one at a facility like this, what questions should you be asking right now? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins us again
4:50 am
today. >> good morning. i think one of the things we need to understand, every american needs to understand is that in some ways, these homes are kind of the sinkhole of federal and state regulation. there is less regulation than we really believe. 36,000 assisted living facilities in the united states, only two-thirds of the states require the staff to know cpr. only one half require a doctor to be on the staff. >> steve: i thought everyone did. >> only a few of the states require the medical director to be a physician. so there are certain questions that you need to ask any facility before you put your loved one in the hands of that facility. so let's go one by one. read the contract carefully. see what it says. what's the actual level of care? is it an assisted living facility? is it an independent living facility as we see here? or is it a full blown senior citizens home? number two, will the facility provide trained first responders
4:51 am
or only wait until help arrives? the policy here at the glennwood gardens was they would only wait until help arrived even though the nurse, a licensed nurse in the state of california, had the capacity and ability to do it, she said our policy is, we're not going to do it. so for seven minutes, this woman lay until the ambulance came and the fire department came and she was pulseless and breathless and unfortunately, basically dead. third thing is will the facility perform cpr or use an a.e.d., a defibrillator, one of those boxes that are automatic? you put it on the person, it says shock or not shock. will they use it? the strange thing is that there is more and more case law in the united states. you were talking about litigation, that there may not be an obligation too use such a defibrillator even if it's on the premises. >> steve: the number one e mailed question yesterday was there a dnr? >> all reports indicate there is not a dnr. if there is one, it's an order
4:52 am
that says do not use any extraordinary measures to keep the person alive. here based upon the ambulance report, the fire department had, there was no dnr. meaning that all extraordinary measures were supposed to be used for 87-year-old miss bayless who lost her life after laying on the ground 7 minutes without any help from this assisted living facility. >> steve: you know what? you got great points that people who have family members in assisted living -- >> read it. if you want your loved one to live after an event like this, you let them know. >> steve: all right. i think a lot of people will be making known calls. >> good to see you. >> steve: up next, cheryl casone is back with the top companies hiring this week. good morning to you. saw her around here. first on this date in 1986, "can't fight the feeling" by reo speedwagon, number one everywhere [ male announcer ] in blind taste tests, even ragu users chose prego.

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. today tuesday, march 5, 2013. i'm gretchen carlson. thank you so much for spending part of your day with us today. let me tell but this top story. there is a scare in the air over one of the nation's busiest airports. not the long lines. nope, a drone spotted near jfk. if it's true, what was it doing there? we'll explore that for you. >> steve: and injection sat down for john kerry sat down, talking about iraq, benghazi, who better to weigh in than former secretary of state, condoleeza rice, she'll be on the curvy couch shortly. >> brian: we're slashing our military budget, but still paying for stuff like trolley dancing. the outrage does not end there. >> steve: who is outraged? >> brian: i think we alt are. "fox & friends" starts now.
5:03 am
>> gretchen: if you're watching our test earlier, the answer was 6,000. for all of you brilliant people out there, and just by luck, i happened to -- >> brian: the last question. >> gretchen: yes, the last question. real estate agents fainted when they thought they would get $600. >> steve: what about the milligram question? that seemed wrong, too. >> gretchen: you didn't look into that one? >> steve: no. >> brian: he doesn't have your metric calendar with him. >> steve: my metric calendar. >> gretchen: i gave up on that. let's do some headlines for you. a very unusual sighting above one of the nation's busiest airports. >> we saw a drone. >> gretchen: that's a pilot. they spotted a drone while coming in for a landing at jfk? he's reporting to air traffic control. he says the drone was 1800 feet above the ground and just 200 feet from his plane. the pilot landed safely, flying remote controlled drones. only allowed 400 feet in the air
5:04 am
they have to let air traffic controllers know if they're closer than three miles. so what was that. a second sinkhole opened up in florida, two miles from the one that swallowed a man, killing him. the new hole between two nearby homes officials say currently does not pose a danger. i wouldn't feel so comfortable in those homes. we're getting a look at the original sinkhole. 30 feet wide, 100 feet deep. family members of jeff bush have been dropping flowers and pictures into the ground. frustrated his body has not been recovered. >> unstable to do anything. but they got this heavy equipment on there, pulling stuff out and everybody is cheering for everything that's coming out of the house. i've had enough. i feel they could have tried harder to try to get my brother out of there. >> gretchen: that is jeremy bush, the brother. he jumped into the hole to try to pull his better out but got trapped and had to be rescued
5:05 am
himself. martha stewart set to be in court today. she's at the center of a legal battle between two retailers. macy's is trying to black jp penny's from selling her stuff. she sued, claiming she breached an exclusive contract when she signed a deal with pennies. bruce springstein will return a year after authorities pulled the plug on his duet with paul mccartney. ♪ they sang the hit "twist and shout," but officials turned it off because they violate add curfew. it will be held at olympic park in june. those are your headlines. >> steve: that will teach those kids. spring may be just around the corner, but mother nature reminding us it's still winter. big storm slammed the midwest yesterday. this morning people are plowing
5:06 am
out in margot, north dakota. -- fargo, north dakota. those in chicago bracing for up to a foot of snow, then it will head to the eastern seaboard where. will it hit? let's talk to maria molina. she's outside with an eye to the sky. >> hi, good morning. that's right. the storm is headed east. right now across portions of the mid atlantic. the worst of it should bending across minneapolis. we're still expecting to pick up a couple more inches of snow and the wind is a big concern with this system in the midwest and also across parts of the mid atlantic. by tomorrow in the northeast, we could be looking at wind gusts, gusting to 50 and 60 miles per hour. one area hit hard as we head into tomorrow. winter storm warnings in effect for minneapolis, chicago, chicago, you could see a foot of snow. that could be the biggest so far this season. we have winter storm warnings in effect just to the west of the washington, d.c. area because those areas could see over a
5:07 am
foot of snow as well. so again, that's higher elevations of the appalachians who get hit by snow. computer models are thinking it will track along the coast or off the coast. that's why we will continue to deal with snow showers, more snow, the wind for several days. coastal flood advisories and watches are posted across places around the coast. delaware, new jersey, up into long island, especially a concern as we head into wednesday afternoon, through thursday morning, again, because the wind is going to be a huge concern gusting to 50, even 60 miles per hour across the northeast. >> steve: that will be quite a storm. all right. we thank you very much. now let's bring in laura ingraham. she's in our nation's capitol. the sequester didn't bring washington, d.c. to a grinding halt, but the snow quester could if you get two inches of snow. >> yeah. the snow storm, sequester, you guys don't see the connection? come on, this is snow magedden, cuts, climate change.
5:08 am
it's all tied together. surprised the president hasn't said that already. >> gretchen: yesterday he addressed his new cabinet members and said if you haven't felt the pinch yet, it's coming. here it is. >> we're going to do our best to make sure that our agencies have the support they need to try to make very difficult decisions, understanding that there are going to be families and communities that are hurt and that this will very our growth. it will mean lower employment in the united states than otherwise would have been. but we can manage through it. >> brian: it's not his fault. he had nothing to do with it. >> if only the president for the last four years had been so desperately concerned about the american people living in this abysmal recovery and stagnating wages, buying power that's diminished, all the things that have been happening during his first term. but now, of course, two months into his second term, all of
5:09 am
that slow growth can be attributed to one thing. john boehner. okay. if you call that leadership, okay. but i don't really see it. >> gretchen: you saw it right at the end of that statement and that word just kind of came flying out of there, employment. you don't have to be a soothe sayer to figure out that's going to be where he's going to go with it when the unemployment numbers continue to not be at great levels. >> again, it's such an immature and unserious approach to governance. at this point, one would expect that the president would look at the track record of the last four years, what worked, what didn't work, i mean, he's a democrat. he's not going to say it all didn't work. that's fine. but to say it's all begun according to plan -- gone according to plan, were it not for the evil republicans on capitol hill, i mean, the republicans are there. he has to acknowledge they're there. and he has to deal with the cards that are on the table. he can't say, i wish i had a different hand. okay, but you don't. so what happens to the american people now? >> brian: yeah, i would love to
5:10 am
see a budget to see what his hands is and we can go back to the normal process of governing the nation. i was staggered by when i read the "washington post" expanded on the "wall street journal" is the president's real goal. this makes sense. he's getting money together, picked up the phone and called nancy pelosi, says, my goal is make you speaker again, so the next two years, he's going to be spending campaigning raising money to the tune of $50 million. >> this goes back to organizing for america, the obama campaign arm that is now morphed into organizing for action. there is a seamless transition from campaigning for a second term and campaigning for 2014. so what the american taxpayer should understand is whether you're a republican or democrat, what you're paying for is not really serious governance. what you're paying for is the perpetual campaign. and we have been talking about this on "fox & friends" almost from the beginning, from the first inauguration, that okay,
5:11 am
now it's time to govern. no, no. now it's time to demonize. now it's time to isolate. now it's time to call out all these conservative groups, it's fox os fault. it's talk radio's fault. boehner's fault and stitch together your group of constituencies that make up the next democratic victor. >> gretchen: do you think it's changed now because yesterday there was the op ed in the "new york times" by bill keller, normally favorable to the president, which this one was not. i'm thinking of -- the "washington post." and i'm also thinking of a high level former broadcast anchor who also said yesterday that there has been too much campaigning by this -- >> tom brokaw. i think again, at some point the overreach does happen. obama is not invincible. he won a second term and people say look, that's all you need to know is he won. well, he did win. but now the country waits and
5:12 am
remember, 2016, it seems like it's far off in the distance, but it's right around the corner. the democrats who are looking forward to that are going to say okay. whether it's hillary or someone else running, they are going to have to talk about what happened on the watch of the president. and at some point they're going to look like they're not adults. they're campaigners, really good at but the country is suffering and it depends on how good the republicans are at actually setting the table here. in the past, they've been pretty abysmal at messaging and explaining this to the american people. are they going to be better this time around? we'll see. >> steve: the good news is this administration is not going to blame george bush. they're going to blame the republicans for everything that goes wrong. >> yeah. >> steve: meanwhile, this is curious. it looks like the environmental protection agency has been coordinating with hollywood. there was a freedom of information act request where it looks like former epa officials were actually working with the
5:13 am
director of that gasland, anti-fracking movie. >> brian: bombed. >> steve: yeah. >> gas land, gas bags, it's all kind of interchangeable. >> steve: is that appropriate? >> well, it's all fair game, guys. it's all appropriate in obamaland. harvey weinstein, michelle, coordinating her -- giving the award for best picture, again, it's all seamless. hollywood is the potomac. it's all part of the entertainment political media complex. they all work with each other and again, this one individual, this one producer i think mr. fox, i think he was one of the people when might have been pulled out of one of these epa meetings. one of the people they coordinated with had already been dragged out of an epa meeting for disturbing the meeting. but that doesn't matter. the epa, when the goal is to shut down traditional oil and
5:14 am
gas operations, or to diminish them, if you have an ally in hollywood, of course they're going to get access. that's just the way it works. >> steve: we do have one of the epa e-mail and it said it was good working with him, josh, we just saw his picture for gasland and betry to keep in touch every so often. let's propose to him an outdoor interview in fort worth somewhere where he can get some good shots. >> i'm surprised al didn't ask for a feature role in the next gas bag film. do you mind if i'm an extra in the last scene? >> steve: who would be the star in "gas bag"? >> i don't know. i'm surprised matt damon wasn't mom nominated by the president to be the next epa director after that glorious film, "the promisedland." >> gretchen: have a great rest of the week. we'll see you next week. >> great seeing you. >> gretchen: coming up, john kerry sat down his first interview since becoming secretary of state.

5:19 am
>> steve: apparently the secretary of state also says he doesn't know why we haven't heard from any of the survivors of the benghazi attack yet. doesn't know if we will, although he personally has been in contact with at least one. >> yes. right. the benghazi incident was one of the most terrible in recent history for us and i think the real issue is how not to let something like this happen again. i think there is still a lot to understand about what happened in the hours before benghazi happened. you're talking about really not a matter of hours, but days before the security situations with deteriorating. the british had left. the red cross had left. there had been a fire bombing a month before. >> steve: there was trouble. >> there was trouble. and clearly the security presence wasn't high enough for that. and i knew ambassador chris stevens. wonderful officer. what he was doing in benghazi on the anniversary of september 11, probably shouldn't have been there. but i think those are the kinds of questions and then what happened during that awful, seven, eight, nine hours that
5:20 am
unfolded? so those are the kinds of issues that i think we really want to get at. i still don't think we have answers to them. then finally on this question of bringing people to justice, there i would agree with secretary kerry. it takes time. the libyan government, such as it is, is not really in a position to investigate and bring people to justice. that may take some time. >> gretchen: he also answered questions about the iraq war. here he is on that. >> i think the president made the right choice to get out of there. i think we can be proud of what we achieved. i think our troops did an absolutely stunning job. he deserves credit for what the troops did when they went in. there is a different issue obviously about the choice of it, but our troops were extraordinary. our military always performs remarkably. and they have given the iraqis the unique opportunity to have a

democracy that hopefully can work. it's up to them. >> steve: painfully -- >> brian: what about the way we left? do you think we left the right way? >> i would have preferred to have some residual presence, but the real question now is how engaged are we going to be with the iraqis? are high ranking officials going to go there and spend time with them? we worry about the influence of iran in iraq, but if you're malaki and you have no american anchor, then you will be influenced by tehran. >> brian: you know his answer was, well, we should have pulled out, so i just did what they gave me. >> well, it would have been hard to get a residual presence agreement. i don't think it would have been impossible to get one. but that's water under the bridge now. and now it is engagement with the iraqis. it is true, the iraqis have a chance to build really a democratic system where current sunni and shiites can work together. nobody else in the middle east right now really has that
5:22 am
structure. but it's going to require our engagement. we can't say hands off, the troops have done their part. let's let the iraqis be to their own devices. they need our help in doing it. and i think they can do it. >> steve: real quickly, i know you're involved in the new immigration commission. take a look at this, brand-new poll, 72% favor some sort of path to citizenship. i'm sorry, less than 30 seconds. >> it will take a recognition that we are a country of immigrants. we need the economic power of immigrants, high-tech immigrants who can fuel the knowledge base revolution and immigrants on the agricultural side. and we need to deal with the 10, 11 million people living in the shadows. path to citizenship will be controversial. but we need to find a way for legal status for these people. >> steve: thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> brian: always great to see
5:23 am
5:26 am
>> brian: search underway for a 17-year-old boy who disappeared during a family ski trip in maine. >> please, just. we love him. we love you dearly. >> brian: dozens of searchers now combing the sugar loaf mountain for any sign of nicholas joy. hugo chavez' health taking a turn for the worse. he developed a severe lung infection that limits his ability to breathe. the government spokesman told state media he's clinging to christ and life. he has been undergoing chemotherapy for undisclosed type of cancer. on a lighter note, gretch? >> gretchen: thanks, brian. definitely a sweeter one.
5:27 am
that's a confection, more proof the bullock has talent to share. she showcases amazing cakes. her new book and she joins us with several examples from inside. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: great to have you back. so we have so much color on the set. i love this. how do you come up with this beautiful sheet cake that's six different colors? >> for breakfast of champions right here. so this is my favorite yellow cake recipe. and i do so many things with it. i thought i would love a rainbow cake. and with st. patrick's' day coming up, i thought wouldn't it be great to color it with green. you cut into it, it's a rainbow. this is great to do with kids. you divide the batter evenly in six portions. and then put a little dye in each. so you got the green, blue, purple. think of the rainbow. and then have the kids stir it up. then it's a relatively good batter, it sticks.
5:28 am
you just have to be good at straight lines. i'm not even that good at straight lines. you can go a little wavy. >> gretchen: 'cause you have to cut them out and i was asking you, how do you get them to not fall apart when you stack them with frosting in between. >> this is your friend. one of the great things to do is you can freeze the cake for a little bit or refrigerate it. that kind of makes it easier too handle. then you just trim your pieces. you keep the extra pieces that you have trimmed. i'll show you why. then you just put a little bit of frosting. i use butter cream. you can also use cream cheese frosting, which everybody all of a sudden. you stack it. the best thing to do once you stacked it and press down a little is you wrap it and you refrigerate it for a little bit. this is traditional stacking. then flip it and you got vertical layers. you have your extra pieces of cake you and put it in the oven at 200 and then dry out cake and then you put it in your
5:29 am
pulverizer and this is what i call muppet dust. >> gretchen: then we would frost this in the perfect world where we have more time. >> and put a little -- i cut out little clovers. here i did a chocolate cake with the same technique and did zebra stripes. you take a piece of parchment and rip little strips like this. and you make sure -- >> gretchen: you can do any shape you would want. that's how you get the design? >> yeah. this one is more cutting, but this is just strips. and you frost it and lay that over the frosting. then you put your muppet dust or chocolate dust on top. and this is the same batter that i used here. and in this one you have the clover inside. you bake a little green cake until it's barely done. you stamp it out and then put it in a batter. >> gretchen: it can be found in your new book. before you leave, you have to tell me what this is. >> this is a berliner, like a
5:30 am
jelly doughnut. >> gretchen: recipe in the book? >> all in "bake it like you mean it." tons of recipes for a fun baking time. >> gretchen: thank you so much. coming up on the show, the woman in charge of our homeland security says she's releasing even more illegal immigrants from jail now. that doesn't seem secure, does it? we'll find out what she's saying. and anna is putting up a fight in brooklyn. she's getting some boxing tips. anna? >> good morning to you. good morning to everybody at home. there is a big fight going on in the barkley center this weekend. we're getting you ready at the i've got the 2012 olympian, marcus brown. we'll have more after the break. don't go anywhere

5:34 am
>> we are already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry, the big airports, for example, some of them had very long lines this weekend. >> specifically where? >> i want to say o'hare. i want to say lax. i want to say atlanta, but i'd have to check. >> brian: i want to say the faa says nothing that they see backs up what the homeland security secretary has said. that some lines are 200 times as long as normal. that so far thankfully, is not the case.
5:35 am
i don't know what she was referring to. >> gretchen: i think she was trying to support what the administration's message is. >> brian: she made stuff up! >> gretchen: the secretary of education ran into the same difficulty when he said teachers had been given pink slips and it turns out the teachers were already going to be laid off before the sequester. >> brian: but he had apologized. >> steve: it makes the administration look really bad. what they do say at the department of homeland security is they've had a freeze in overtime and that's what's going to impact the lines. the lines will be longer 'cause we can't give these guys overtime. what's interesting is what the administration is doing is -- the dnc, they're looking for any instances across the country where there was a disruption caused by the sequester and as soon as they find stuff, they shoot it out to their friends in the main stream media so they will try to highlight, look, the sequester! it's really bad! >> brian: what they did at the pentagon is said they're furloughing about 15,000 teachers.
5:36 am
they say around the globe. and the military teachers. the commissaries are open one day less. so they're stopping the commissaries, maybe in germany for being open on a saturday. >> gretchen: them ramification of this is that the department of homeland security, janet napolitano, also in charge of this particular program in that more illegal immigrants are going to be released. remember last week before the sequester hit at midnight on friday, they were releasing illegal immigrants before it was actually reasonable to release them. there were no budget cuts yet. they were doing it in anticipation. now she's warning that they will also have to do more of that. they're claiming they're low level criminals at this point and they're going to monitor them. but how much do you monitor them and really are they low level criminals and what if something happens? >> brian: it costs nonmonitor them! how much more you going to do? have a steady cam? it's not possible. >> gretchen: road trip, ted. >> brian: who is ted? we've released 2,000. we're going to release 3,000 more.
5:37 am
>> steve: yeah. it's kind of crazy. it does show you that the priorities right now for the administration, because we did tell you that there is some leeway in moving money around a little bit, if the priority is to, you know -- it's called firemen first. it's something local politicians do where they say if you cut our budget, first one to go, firemen. same thing here. department of homeland security, first thing to say, we're going to release the illegal aliens. the administration, it looks like, doesn't have their priorities straight. >> gretchen: now to your headlines for your tuesday. new details on a nurse's refusal to give cpr to that dying woman. it's being investigated as a criminal case? >> they're going to let her die. as a human being, is there anybody there that is willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >> gretchen: so the 87-year-old victim did die at the hospital. police aren't releasing the name of the nurse on that call. officials at the facility defended her actions, saying they prohibit employees from
5:38 am
performing cpr because they are not a skilled nursing facility. at this time police say no laws were broken. >> this point to date, we have found no criminal culpablibility. oakly there is a lot of facts we need to look through. >> gretchen: the facility is reviewing its cpr policy now, but the victim's daughter, who also ironically is a nurse, says she is satisfied with how the nurse in her mother's case acted. >> steve: these drivers never saw this coming, but their cameras, rolling, will see it. caught the exact moment a train smashed into an 18 wheeler. it happened in magnolia, texas. the trailer got stuck on the tracks, couldn't move. the conductor could not stop. the impact sent debris flying everywhere. thankfully, nobody was hurt. >> brian: you're carrying high,
5:39 am
a baby bump. >> gretchen: this is a woman's term. >> brian: you take this. >> gretchen: when you're pregnant -- >> brian: all of a sudden i'm a gynecologist. >> gretchen: if you're carrying up here, high, you must be having a girl. they say it's an old wife's tale. if you're carrying low, then you're having a boy. is that really true? or an old wife's tale? researchers saying your shape on top is a more accurate predictor. women carrying girls develop bigger busts during pregnancy. why? male babies produce more testosterone that suppresses breast growth. hmmm. i'd have to say that i didn't tell a difference. >> steve: what i notice right now is that i appear to just be carrying low. >> brian: that's a little different. >> steve: i don't have a six pack.
5:40 am
it's more like a keg. >> brian: that's good. i don't know. i can't use female pregnancy slang. i got to get right to it. >> gretchen: but you can talk a lot about booze. so why don't you take now my story. >> brian: all right. this is more of a male story. never mind. i don't even want to read it. >> steve: a lot of people at the united nations are drunk. >> brian: right. we're upset about it. so i gave gretchen my story you and took mine. can i toss to anna at least? she is training to be an olympic champion and she might be ready to go to international competition at this point. she's actually joined by marcus browne. hey, anna. >> hey, good morning to everybody at home. we'll get to him in just a bit. there is a huge fight going on at the barkley center on saturday. bernard hopkins taking on his opponent going for the world title. we're here at the famous gleason gym. all kind of big names trained
5:41 am
here, mike tyson, the kid, cassius clay before he became mohammed ali. but we have got the one and only, 2012 olympian, marcus browne who is taking on dock sor from mobile, alabama. 22 years old. 175 pounds. 6' 2. good morning. thanks for being on "fox & friends." what's this like. he's from staten island. this is the first time since going pro that you're actually going to be able to be in front of your hometown crowd. >> yeah. it's a beautiful feeling. i can't wait to put on a show before my family and friends. >> what about being at the barkley center? the energy has to be electric. >> yeah, definitely. i was there for some fights earlier in the year and it was electric. i can only imagine being in the ring and fighting. going to be crazy. >> your other two fights ended in a knockout. so maybe the same will happen on saturday. >> no pressure. we're going to take the time and make sure we get it. >> so we're going to spar a little bit.
5:42 am
what do you want me to do? >> throw a jab. >> is this a job? >> no, no, one, two. one, two, three, back to your face. >> see, i got to keep the guard up. >> so jab, cross, hook. okay. one more. jab, cross, hook. >> there you go. >> all right. thank you. there we go. so you're going to be a good sport. i appreciate this. i used to teach a class called turbo kick. kind of like this. >> girlie. >> no, no. here we go. ready? upper cut. speed, upper cut. speed, double bob. now high, high, low, low. high, high. for jack for power. come on, come on! come on. that's all you got? >> steve: he can't take it, anna. >> brian: i hate to tell you, but that's not girlie. that's tough work!
5:43 am
is he breathing heavy. >> it's not girlie. >> he's breathing heavy a little bit. >> i'm not breathing heavy. [ laughter ] >> he's being a good sport. >> brian: how do you explain, anna, 'cause you're in business as well, how do you explain the craze that people love to box? it's a great way to fitness. >> they don't do it for a living. we got here before 5:00 a.m and there were probably a dozen business guys with their gloves on and boxer face on getting their workout in. what do we do? 30 seconds and i'm about to lose a lung. yeah, it's a great workout. >> steve: all right. anna kooiman out at gleason here in new york city. very nicely done. knockout punch. thank you. >> brian: that is a legendary place. >> steve: it is. >> brian: that was great. good luck to marcus over the weekend. >> gretchen: coming up, the cuts president obama signed last week are slashing our military's budget. but what about money for stuff like thai che and trolley

>> brian: you just heard the president say the cuts and we saw him say this earlier in the show, those cuts that came off the sequester last week were not the best idea. remember? >> these cuts are not smart. they'll hurt our economy and cost us jobs. and congress can turn them off at any time, as soon as both sides are willing to compromise. it's unnecessary. at a time when too many of our friends and neighbors are still looking for work, it's
5:48 am
unexcusable. hundreds of thousands of americans who serve their country, border patrol agents, f.b.i. agents, civilians who work for the defense department will see their wages cut and their hours reduced. >> brian: are we seeing that now? that's not all that's been cut. it turns out the government was also still paying for stuff like thai chief and trolley dancing. here to give the president advice, oklahoma senator tom coburn. senator, i know you spoke to the president yesterday. is he talking about -- you feel comfortable talking about some of the things he would rather cut as opposed to the pentagon? >> well, look, first of all, there is a lot of money that can be cut that the american people are never going to feel and i agree that sequestration is a blunt instrument. it's kind of like flower beds instead of taking the weeds out of it. but the fact is it's going to have minimal impact if we give him the flexibility to do it right and that's what we ought to be about doing. but this is not going to have a
5:49 am
major impact on a $16 trillion economy. what it is is going to have an impact that all of a sudden as the american people know, there is a lot of foolishness going on with federal government dollars and it needs to stop. just like the $10,000 paid for dances to promote the trolley in san diego, that's an absolute waste of money in a time when we're borrowing that money to pay for that. >> brian: right. instead of small business loans, we're cutting -- we use it for trolley dancing and you brought up this. 386,000 for tie, which he study. what is there to study about that? >> there isn't anything to study that would be a priority for the american government at a time when we're in the shape we're in. brian, we kick out $364 billion a year in payments for duplicate programs, according to government accounting office. and they may not like it, but we can streamline lots of these
5:50 am
programs and eliminate the duplication, over 1500 programs. we could eliminate that duplication and save $100 billion a year. >> brian: it's unbelievable. >> you wouldn't -- that doesn't touch the pentagon. >> brian: i know. but still, there is nothing there and just to go through the last example. 1.65 million in amazon center for excellence in malaria, instead of cutting back tsa agents. in the big picture, the president would rather have not done this do you believe the president sincerely tried to negotiate his way out of sequester? >> no. well, i wasn't in on the negotiations, so i don't know. what i do know is there was no leadership from the white house to come to a resolution to ask for flexibility to make these very simple painless cuts that can be made and now you have the administration out there talking about how the barn is on fire when, in fact, all they need to do is pull out a few hay bales.
5:51 am
>> brian: senator, there is a big story, the president has a huge operation with one focus for the next two years, get the house back from republicans. do you believe that's true? and what evidence do you have that that might indeed be true by the way the president has been campaigning after having already won? >> well, i think there is a big political divide ideologically, as well as politically in this country about whether or not the government is the answer to our problems or self-reliance and initiative and personal responsibility are the answer to our problems. president obama has decided that the thing that built this country isn't going to work anymore and he's actually thinks more government is the answer. most oklahomans don't believe that. i think most people in the country don't believe that. but we haven't done a very good job as conservatives and believer in the real focus of the benefits of this country and explaining that to the electorate.
5:52 am
>> brian: right. we'll see what happens if he's going to be campaigning for the next two years and not governing. >> leadership matters. leadership really matters and he could lead to solve a lot of the problems and what he's doing right now is leading in a campaign against those that might have a differing point of view about how to solve our problems. >> brian: very frustrating to watch. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> brian: straight ahead, he's one of the most commercially successful classical artists in history. it's a performance you do not want to miss and won't. first off, let's go check in with martha mccallum to find outweighs on her show. hi there. >> good morning. a democrat law maker now complaining that he wants answers on what happened in benghazi. so is the tide turning in the fight for answers here? and a new twist in a woman who has been refused cpr by a nurse. have you heard about these locusts? 30 million insects descending on the middle east. what's going on there? bill and i will see you here on "america's newsroom" at the top
