shampoo. >>steve: are you still using baby shampoo? >>brian: it gets out the tangles. >>gretchen: you only saw that because your next word is baby? >>brian: forget good looks and a sense of humor. the latest trend of finding a mate: credit scores. >>steve: fico. >>brian: "fox & friends" starts now. >>gretchen: we're incredulous about every headline we read today. we've got to get ride to the headlines -- right to the headlines. hugo chavez died. this morning venezualans are glad to see hugh go. that's venezualans in miami

and across the u.s. cheering after his death. the socialist dictator and fierce point of the u.s. died from cancer apparently. the vice president will serve in the interim. president obama released a statement saying at this challenging time of hugo chavez's passing, the united states reaffirms its support for the venezualan people. hugo chavez was 58 years old. if you're a cardinal there is one place to be now. calling all cardinals. rome. why are five still missing in action? the vat cans insist nothing is amiss and the five will show up in the coming days but that could step back the date for the conclave to pick a new pope. construction is underway to prepare for the conclave. it is closed to tourists. for the first time since september 11, shanks -- >>steve: like snakes on a place. shanks on a plane. >>gretchen: that's a short knife. it will be allowed on

plane. these are some that will be allowed. small swiss army type knives. golf clubs. ski poles. the t.s.a. that will allow employees to concentrate on looking for more dangerous items. >> it seems strange to allow pocketknives but not shampoo. >> i believe the bad guys are way ahead of us. they can hide stuff and make plastic knives that will hurt us. if the bad guys want to hurt us, they will. >>gretchen: the changes go into effect april 25. an incredible story of survival. a teen skier found alive after spending two nights lost on a mountain in maine. he was skiing with the family sunday when he got lost. using skills he saw on outdoor survival shows he pweuplt a snow cage -- built a snow cage and got water from a nearby stream.

he then flagged down a driver who joined a search for the team. >> he was good. he was hungry. i had food on me so i gave him peanuts and crackers. >> it was tremendous. it couldn't have gone any better. >>gretchen: the teen expected to be okay. and those are your headlines. how do you get lost off a ski run, unless you're skiing way in the back of the mountain. don't you eventually know how to get back. >>steve: it could be across country. that is why reality shows are so popular. >>brian: moving on, bad whether -- extreme weather alert. a massive sterpl rolling into the mid-atlantic right now and washington, d.c. in particular. a live look at the white house. people bracing there for the most snow they have seen in two, three or maybe four years. it looks like you're on the mall where the government is probably going to shut down today; right, peter? >> you're right. all these federal offices have been able to stay open

through sequestration so far, but just about all those federal offices are going to close today because of snow questration as this storm is being called by "the washington post." all nonessential employees have been told to stay home today unless they have to telework. lawmakers here on capitol hill are going to try to wrap up their business for the day by 1:00. if they try to fly home to their home districts they're going to feel a problem because already at the two airports here in d.c., reagan and dulles, over 1,000 flights have been canceled either coming or going to those airports. a few hearings on the hill have been postponed today including one that was going to be about cyber security and one that was going to be about asteroids. down the road at the white house the crimson tide are going to have to wait until another day to meet with president obama to celebrate their national championship football season at the university of alabama. very interesting, though, there are power crews here in d.c. in the area from

alabama and from georgia who are on hand to help in case this snow -- right now it's rain and wind -- knocks out any of the power. there are already all hands on deck. also down at the white house, you know that the administration thinks things are going to be really bad because they have already canceled a twitter question-and-answer session with the first lady. that's going to be moved to monday now. right now the roads are slick. there had been big, big snowflakes all morning. right now, though, a little bit of rain and a lot of wind. today commuting not going to be very pleasant. if the power goes out, that's going to be hard as well. because, as you know, no power means no heat. and it is getting colder. back to you in new york. >>steve: peter, you need goggles or something. thank you very much. he's talking a little bit about snow quester, how that could shut down

washington. but yesterday the white house said, look, we're already shutting down the white house. but it's not because of the snow. it's because of the sequester. they're saying they took about a $1 million hit, so what they're going to do is they're going to shut off white house tours. they're going to stop them. >>brian: they are pricey. let's be honest. when you walk through there, when you're doing the self-tour, you wait on-line and no one talks to you and you go in because your name is on a list and then you walk there and wonder what these things mean because you're on a self-tour, i'm thinking how can we afford this. come on, this is the cheapest thing in the world. >>steve: tickets are free. >>brian: it is a request for a congressman or congresswoman to get in. then you walk through there and that's it. >>gretchen: it's so childish. most of the people who are going to suffer from this are the kids. these are phrafpbd school trips from long ago. imagine if you're one of the these kids who gets the

news. i think this is what is so frustrating to so many americans. somebody alluded to the fact of putting your big-boy pants on the other day. come on! can we be adults about this and come together to a table and say, hey, how can we do this more responsibly? yes, we need to make cuts in this country. but, no, instead we're going to have this back and forth. this is the response from louie gomez, the republican from out of texas. >> none of the funds made available by division of this act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the white house resume. that way, we will both work together so the president will not be able to take a golf outing that causes 341 more federal officials to be furloughed and will lose their job at least temporarily. >>steve: the white house was begging for open season on what they spend money on by saying, okay, we're going to turnover the white

house tours. here's the thing about the white house tours that the white house doesn't mention. the people who are giving the tours? they are volunteers. they don't get paid. so exactly how much money are they going to save? probably not that much because, as brian said, and as we've been telling you for the last month, the white house is just trying to scare you. and now that the sequester has kicked in, to make it look as painful as possible. >>gretchen: this is a high-profile thing too. this is a high-profile thing that they know will get a lot of attention. >>brian: it's the one thing they can control. >>gretchen: i say it's time to grow up. are they actually telling people too to live through those high expectations that they gave about these really painful cuts? here's a snippet of an e-mail they apparently sent out to at least one of the departments about toeing the line. >>brian: from the animal and plant health inspection service official, charles brown. >>steve: he says we have gone on record with

notification to congress and whoever else that aphis would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aqua culture industry -- fishing -- unless they provide funding to cover the costs. it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure that you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be. that was in an e-mail that charles brown sent out. he asked washington, we'd -- we think we've got some flexibility here on moving some of the money around so that the hits don't look so bad. essentially the word came back from washington, make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be. in other words, we said it was going to be bad. if you make it look good, you're going to make us look bad. >>gretchen: so we've come to the point where now we're going to be ordering people to make the lines at the airport extra long just because? this is so ridiculous. >>brian: that was pointed

out by congress woman christie gnome of california. she asked congressman vilsack are you trying to use the sequester in the most destructive way possible? he had no answer. all we can do is point it out when it's there for a reason. if in two weeks you're waiting three hours to get on a plane or you're inconvenienced in any sort of way, if you find out more thousands have been let out of prison in arizona and texas because of sequester, then people are going to say those bad republicans, they allowed sequester to take place. >>steve: personally, i think louie gohmert's bill is hilarious. if the white house is going to say no tours for you and he says no golf for you, mr. president, it is what happens during the snowy, silly season in washington, d.c. just to show you how serious they are, joe

biden, how's the naval observatory? they shut off tours there. >>gretchen: the government released thousands of illegals thanks to the sequester. now there's word the plan was even to release more. >>brian: the dow is at an all-time high. will president obama use this rally to raise taxes? stuart varney is next.

recession. >>brian: how have we done it? we made up the $11 trillion we lost in 2008. >> yes, we have. this is ben bernanke's rally. it is not barack obama's rally. ben bernanke, chairman of the federal reserve, is printing money. everybody knows that. printing literally trillions of dollars. >>brian: every month. >> $85 billion a month to be precise. he's printing it, trying to get out of there. some of it finds its way to the stock market. by printing that money, down goes the interest rate that you get on a bank c.d. or bond. if i give my money to the government for ten years, they're going to pay me a lousy 1.8%. you don't put it there. no, you go to someplace where you're going to get a better rate of return. that at the moment looks like the stock market. you get a dividend from many stocks and you got the chance of a capital gain. there's this flow of money out of bonds and c.d.'s into stocks. new record high. by the way, the news of the day is when we open in three hours from now, stocks will go up again

another maybe 50 points for the dow industrials right at the opening bell. >>gretchen: i thought it wasn't always a good thing we print money. >> there's two sides of the tpepb. one side says you keep presenting money like this and you'll end up with inflation. that's the classic economic argument. we've not got inflation yet. i don't know what's going to argue down the road but that is one argument against printing money. there is another argument: what happens when ben quits printing money? the stock market goes down, interest rates go up, you go back to bonds and out of stocks? the bottom line is he's not going to stop printing for quite some time. he says he'll keep presenting until the unemployment rate comes down to around the 6% range from 7.9 now. >>brian: it's not budging and wages are not going up. it leads one to the conclusion that maybe the president could use this as an excuse to raise taxes. >> it's speculation on my part. i'm expressing an opinion. i think that's exactly what

the president will do. he'll say, look, we're denying head start kids a place in the class. these fat cats on wall street are doing so well. a new record high for wall street, they should pay their fair share. tax them some more so the head start kids don't get hurt. >>gretchen: at the same time revenues from taxes are at an all-time high right now. if you're one of those fat cats on wall street, couldn't you just say, look, i am paying my fair share? >> that's exactly what they will say. but it's a political argument. you're quite right. this year tax revenue will be a record $2.7 trillion. unfortunately, we will spend $3.7 trillion. in other words, we clearly have a spending problem. it's not a taxing and revenue problem. it's a spending problem. >>brian: you don't have any problems. you have a lot to discuss today as the dow sets an all-time record at 9:20 eastern time on varney and company. >> i want to see the smile on your face, brian, when your 401(k) goes up again. >>brian: right.

he won reelection. in the report it says -- quote -- "after delivering his victory speech, obama walked off stage and made two calls related to his political plans, one to israel and one to nancy pelosi. israel says obama told him, quote, how focused he would be on winning a house majority for the democrats. " joining us with his reaction to this is republican congressman from the great state of arkansas, tim griffin. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >>steve: what do you think about that reports that president obama essentially doesn't want to get anything done this year or next year? he just wants to get a whole bunch of democrats reelected and elected so you guys aren't in power anymore? >> it confirms what we have been saying and what we believed all along. look, i believe that the president resents having to deal with house republicans. he had his way the first

two years. i think his plan is to do everything he can to put nancy pelosi back in the speaker chair, give her the gavel. and in the last two years he wants to do what he did the first two years, which is pass whatever he and his party want. we remember that he got the health care law, obamacare. he got his stimulus. and he was just on a roll. and then the house republicans were elected and brought some balance to government, and he has really been frustrated with that. >>steve: sure. you know what his recipe to success is going to be? he's going to do his best to make you guys in the republican party on capitol hill look like nitwits, incompetents and bad guys. he's trying to right now with the sequester. >> he wants to play the role of santa claus where he promises everything to everyone despite the fact that we don't have any money to do that. and we are trying to be

responsible. you're right; with the sequester, look, any time you reduce spending, you're going to have an impact. it's going to be an impact in my district. but he has tried to oversell this. and i believe he has purposefully making it as painful as possible instead of cutting waste. he's putting -- he's protecting waste so he can have the pain for workers in programs to make his political point. why doesn't he cut some waste? are we that efficient where there's no waste in the federal government to cut? it's ridiculous. >>steve: congressman, you just made quite a charge that the president of the united states is for political gain inflicting pain on his fellow americans. >> i believe that. i believe that all of this hype that the president and the white house have been putting out over the last week and a half has been made to scare the american

people and to mislead them as to what we can do to ameliorate and make the impact less significant. look, we saw the e-mail yesterday from the agriculture department where a middle manager suggested making some changes to may be the impact less, and then the higher ups said you can't do anything that is inconsistent with the negative impact that we've told everything these cuts are going to have. my point is there is waste throughout the federal government. why would you put pain on workers and programs before you cut waste? let's cut waste. let's take the white house tours. the idea that we're going back to 2008 budget levels and you can't have tours at the white house, that's ridiculous. it's not credible. i worked there in 2006. in 2006 i worked at the

white house. we had a budget below where the sequester is taking us. we had lots of tours. >>steve: absolutely. the other thing that this administration is not saying is those white house tours are given by volunteers, people who don't make any money. congressman tim griffin, republican from arkansas, sir, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you for having me on. >>steve: good luck getting home. i know it's snowing there. >> straight ahead, a sink hole swallows a man whole. now scammers are having a field day. what you need to know because you might get a phone call or knock on the door. then larry gatlin is here. he's talking about hugo chavez, drinking and talking about taylor swift. first happy birthday to shaquille o'neal. he's 41! he's 41! ♪ happy birthday to you [ phil ] when you have joint pain and stiffness...

was issued for the new york areas including southern parts of connecticut, also long island and eastern new jersey because we could be seeing a couple inches of accumulation. nothing too major for new york city. but boston, you could be hit as we head into thursday and friday with more snow, four to eight inches possible. this could be a long duration event. that means throughout the day today, into the night, into thursday and also into friday morning, snow across the mid-atlantic up into new england and also that wind. new york city, you're talking three to seven inches of snow. that's two nights worth. you could see a couple inches tonight and a couple inches thursday nights. that's why we're going with three to seven inches. d.c. area 6 to 12. west virginia could see not only up to 15 inches of snow but some of those peaks could see 20 inches of snow. coastal areas gusts 50 to 60 miles per hour. flood watches and warnings have been issued. beach erosion a big concern

great state of texas, and he is right. with all due respect, he was right when he said social security is a big ponzi scheme. it is. he didn't have time that night of the debate to explain it. but the things rick perry says are true. he did that thing about texas being the only state in the union who has the right to secede. it is in our constitution, the agreement we we joined, and that was kind of tongue in cheek. if you're not the one, i have sat in a deer blind. yes, i shot bambi's daddy. get over it. then we ate bambi's daddy. it wasn't just thrown out the truck. i have sat in a dear blind and watched 20 illegal aliens coming across that border. on an individual level, it is tragic. i know some families who have -- >>brian: they can't be let out of prison arbitrarily from washington. >> whatever the comprehensive immigration, the first thing in

comprehension is to stop them at the border. if you stop them at the border and make up for turning the criminals loose, somehow -- call me crazy -- that doesn't just seem too bright. what happened to federalism? shouldn't rick perry be the one who saeuz maybe release -- who says maybe release the illegal immigrants in his state to keep an eye on them. but for the federal government to say we'll turn them loose. see you later, partner. what happened to governance, not rule? what happened to common sense? >>steve: it was good you were able to have a date with us. >>brian: thank you very much. >>steve: we're going to vegas? >>brian: we're going. thank you, larry. >>gretchen: did you know this story? a drone spotted about --

>>gretchen: 47 minutes past the top of the hour. we told you about this story yesterday. a pilot from alital i a claimed he spotted a drone flying near his jet over jfk in new york. he was told it was likely a model aircraft but what if it was a drone. joining us is a navy fighter pilot, one of the first women to be in that role. good morning to you, mary. what do you make of this? was it a military drone or home-made drone in your mind? >> i don't even know if it was a drone. i seriously doubt it was a military drone. it's most likely a remote-controlled airplane. i think there's a lot of confusion about that in the general public. remotely controlled aircraft have been around for decades. this is where you can see

your hobbyists going out with a hand-held controller that looks like a mock cockpit and they fly it around. these are very popular. there are many home-made -- you can go to a hobby store near you and buy one of these things. i would say the odds are that it was likely a remotely controlled aircraft and not really a drone, a military or civilian drone. >>gretchen: this pilot said he saw about a three-foot wing span. are there regulations about how big these can be and how close they can come to incoming aircraft? >> i've seen remotely controlled aircraft be as small as your hand and be as large as a, almost as large as a life-size fighter. they can actually be quite big. that's true for drones as well. they're very small, the size of maybe your thumb, as well as the size of a 737. >>gretchen: what will the f.a.a. do now or what can it do? what are the current regulations they need to change? >> i think this is a great

shout out to the f.a.a. to make them quit dragging their feet on the drone issues. there's been some congressional legislation trying to open up the airspace so that we can at least start to address these issues. regardless of whether or not it was remote-controlled aircraft or a drone, i think this is a great example of why we need to embrace the fact that this technology is here, here to stay and we need to figure out how to integrate these technologies in the national airspace before there is a problem. >>gretchen: very well put. mary cummings, professor of aeronautics at m.i.t. and former navy fighter pilot. thanks for being our guest today. he led "the new york times" to two super bowl wins? what's the secret? a contract with his wife to stay off the field. tom coughlin is here with a story you have to hear. >> the latest trend in finding a mate: the credit score we're talking about,

>> i don't know how to put this, but i'm kind of a big deal. >> really? >> people know me. >> i'm very happy for you. >> i'm very important. i have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. >>brian: there will be a sequel coming up. some people will try anything to impress a would-be date. even if you are kind of a

big deal -- joel -- it may still come down to one thing: studies show it may take you -- it may no longer be appearance or sense of humor that makes you worthy of a love match. it could be your credit score. here to explain that is the woman who pioneered this effort and going to talk about it. nicole petallides. what's going on here? credit score can define a relationship? >> obviously we've had a recession, tough economy. in addition to asking people, what's your sign? do you work out? do you smoke? what's your religion? do you want kids? now a hot question is: what's your credit score? and people, because they want to start out right and get a nice foundation, want to know. it's become obviously just easy to ask, especially during a tough economy. now people are more likely to ask this more freely. >>brian: here's the score. you should know if it's going to be a plus or minus for in a would-be relationship. here we go. is your credit score

attractive? cupid says bad at 600 or below. >> forget it. you love him. he's gorgeous. he's smart, but bad score, out. >>brian: good, above 750. if you really want to impress a would-be, between 800 and 850. >> credit scores basically have become sexy. there's so many websites, match.com, creditscoredating.com. match.com says 84% say they have now become more selective on their first dates because of this down economy. and the other thing is some of the experts who are psychological experts, financial experts talk about people -- and it's not one way, by the way. this is not women picking men. this is men also saying, hey, what are you bringing to the table, my female friend? >>brian: are you attracted to me because of my bank account or because you have a bad credit rating? >> right. one guy actually said he

met a woman -- and this is a true story -- on a date, and he thought she was fabulous in every way and told her how perfect she was. when she got to talk to him afterwards, she said why didn't you call me? he said it wasn't you. it was your credit score. >>brian: really? >> it's getting down to the wire that people really want to start out with a great foundation. >> nicole, we're out of time, but i would say there's more to this than you think because it shows responsibility, it shows history and it shows where the relationship could go. >> that's right. they say people treat their money like their dates and such. so if they take care of their money, they'll take care of you. >>brian: we have demonstrated a total lack of chemistry over the last three days. maybe we'll make up for it on your walk tomorrow. on the fox business network she's celebrating 5 million tkurbs tkurbs -- 25,000. >>brian: next, a slip of the tongue by kateee

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. it's wednesday, march 6, 2013. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing part of your day with us today a. dictator has died and this morning venezuelans around the world glad to see hugo. (horns honking) so what does this mean for the united states and all that oil in that country? former u.n. ambassador john bolton has some thoughts straight ahead. >> steve: you can keep calm and carry on as they say in great britain. now we're talking about knives. you can carry on knives. >> brian: what? >> steve: tsa changing the rules to make it easier for terrorists to take knives on board. good idea? absolutely not. we're going to report and you will decide that it's a dumb idea. >> brian: we can't bring our prell still? and regis philbin is coming to fox and he has a little advice for me when i run to him in the

hall. >> when that comes, call me mr. regis. >> brian: mr. regis? >> brian: little advice. he's a legend. what else he told me coming up only on "fox & friends" just about now. >> gretchen: he loves this show. we knew he wasn't going to retire. he's too young and has too much energy. he loves sports and that's what he'll be doing now. >> brian: fox sports 1 is starting of the it's the counter to espn. regis is going to go into the sports world and maybe join the giants. >> steve: you got sound bites from both of those men. right? >> brian: how do you know everything. >> steve: the rundown starts with the federal government today is closed in washington, d.c start with that. extreme weather alert, live at the white house, colossal storm

is expected to dump more than a foot of snow in the washington, d.c. area. currently federal government offices shut down in washington. also the schools out. new video out ofliesburg, virginia, 30, 40 miles to the west of washington where the snow is starting to accumulate. maria molina tracking the storm from outside our world headquarters where it has not yet started snowing, but it is a little blowing. >> yeah. you asked me a couple minutes ago if it was windy out here and i have to say, the wind has really picked up here in new york city. the storm is still well to our south across sections of the mid atlantic where it's producing some snow across areas to the west of d.c we've soon that rain-snow line hovering to the west. dc could be seeing a transition towards more of a sleet precipitation or wintery mix and possibly even seeing that transition to rain later on today. that might keep snowfall accumulations down just a little bit. west of dc, you're talking up to a foot of snow possible, even 20 inches along some of the

higher elevations. winter storm watch has been issued in boston because we could be seeing some significant snowfall accumulation out there after we head into your thursday and friday. this will be a long duration event. new york city, three to seven inches. that's not just in one day. that's as we head into tonight, overnight, and thursday night we could see a little accumulation. that includes both those time periods. not in new york city, but in areas to the north across southern new england and also in areas across the mid atlantic. hire elevations, west virginia, northern virginia, and southern pennsylvania. the wind, again, a huge concern. inland areas should be seeing gusts of 20 to 30 miles per hour. right along the coast where do you not have that land to slow down the wind, actually just picked up a little bit more out here in new york city. along the coast, that's where you could be look at gusts above 50 to even 60 miles an hour. there have been a number of coastal flood warnings and also watches that have been issued all along the coast of delaware, new jersey, new york city, long

island and up in through areas across new england. storm surge, beach erosion will be other concerns. we'll keep an eye on that as well. >> steve: of course, the problem with all that big wind, 50, 60 miles per hour is that means power outages. >> gretchen: no doubt. i think -- >> brian: we should bury the lines. >> gretchen: not in our town. wind has been a big controversy. let's get to some headlines and fox news alert. stunning story of that dying woman who was refused cpr. >> 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. >> gretchen: at first the retirement home in california said the employee you just heard on tape acted correctly by refusing to perform cpr on the woman. late last night, they issued a statement saying, quote, the incident resulted from a complete misunderstanding with regard to our medical care for

residents. the employee now on voluntary leave while the case is being investigated. the family says they're satisfied with the care she received. the white house approving all tours. thank -- canceling all tours. gohmert fighting back with this thought. >> none of the funds made available by division of this act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the white house resume. that way we will both work together so the president will not be able to take a golf outing that causes 341 more federal officials to be furloughed. >> gretchen: tours at the capitol are still available. if you are a cardinal, there is one place you need to be right now if you're watching and that's rome, italy. why are five of them still missing in action? the vatican insists nothing is amiss and the five will show up in the coming days.

that could set back the date for the conclave to pick a new pope. construction is now underway inside the sistine chapel to prepare fort conclave, so it's closed tortureses as well. -- torists as well -- tourists as well. after being handed a teddy bear on her royal visit, kate middleton said thank you, i'll take that for my d, before abruptly cutting herself off. kate is due in july. those are your headlines. what is interesting is that remember the rules changed in england that no matter if you're a girl or boy, you will be the next king or queen. >> steve: so she was referring to something that starts with a d. for my -- some are saying daughter. >> gretchen: dog. >> steve: dowager, diva? we don't know. >> brian: if someone sees pat sajack, he can put the numbers

up. chavez is dead if you're looking for him. he died yesterday. some horrific cancer. went to cuba for his medical care. it didn't work out. so he passes away. america loses a staunch enemy and i don't miss him. >> steve: yeah. jimmy carter misses him, sean penn misses him. just before it was announced he was dead, did you see his successor came out and said the united states of america came out and infected him with cancer. it was a weird day, but at the end, hugo chavez died and cuban medicine certainly takes a hit. john bolton was on the record last night reviewing the guy's life. >> from the u.s. point of view, this has enormous potential implications because a venezuela that moves away from chavez's foreign policy means one that's less welcoming to iran and its efforts to avoid international

sanctions and use venezuela's uranium reserves for its nuclear program. it's one less friendly to russia and castro's cuba and regimes around which financed their campaigns and other aspects. this is a potentially huge change. >> brian: the country suffers from lack of electricity. 70% of the food has to be imported. they're a country that is rich in oil! there is no reason for it. you remember what he did in 2006 and that we talked about, our president did, even upset charlie rangel who said how disrespectful this was to have a guy up there ranting about the united states of america in america. >> steve: the devil. >> gretchen: interesting to see how this plays out in the coming weeks. you know what you can't bring on airplanes, right? you have to take off your shoes in most cases in security. you still can't bring liquids through. but starting april 25, you can bring your ski poles, your golf clubs and knives. yes. all these different varieties of knives are going to be allowed

now on the airplane. apparently in accordance with international rules and laws. now americans have to comply. >> brian: the pilots go, it's not a danger to them. really? there is a flight attendant is the one who is going to shield you. you have your ironclad cockpit door. that's big of you. >> steve: sure. exactly. so if you've got a knife that is 2.36 inches in length or lower and half inch wide, you'll be able to take it on board. you know -- >> gretchen: why? >> steve: because the tsa said that it was going to be a time and labor saver. they said that -- >> brian: it's exhausting taking a switch knife from somebody. >> steve: at lax, they confiscated 47 knives a day. so they want to go ahead -- okay, you can't really do any damage. you absolute israeli -- absolutely can do damage to the people inside the airplane. sharp objects do not belong in the cabin. >> gretchen: brian had a chance

to run into somebody famous around here. right? >> brian: huge day yesterday. fox sports is launching their network to compete with nbc, cbs and espn. right across the street they had a major party. regis philbin was one of the big-time guests who will be getting his own show. we talked to him. it's obvious regis philbin in the prime of his career. >> it's great. i didn't ask for this job. all of a sudden it just came to me. i'm thrilled to be part of this whole new concept at fox. >> brian: i know you wanted to turn the page. that's why you left. you turned the page. why is this the page that comes up? >> i have no idea how things happen like that. i just left. i was at 28 years every day and i thought it was time for a change. >> brian: i see you on the side line and alt fox personalities, strahan, howie long. is that a thrill for you?

>> absolutely! these are the guys i admire every sunday on their show. there they are talking about the game that's coming up. of course, they're all great football players and i'm not, you may know. but i still enjoy it and i'm still thrilled to be part of it. >> brian: there is a chance you'll be shooting in our building. that means we're going to get in the line together and get a big salad, see each other in the hall. should i act like myself? should i ignore you? >> when that begin, call me mr. regis. >> brian: mr. regis. >> yeah. >> brian: do you answer? >> only to mr. regis. >> brian: that's it? >> yeah. so say good-bye, mr. regis. >> steve: i remember, brian, that must have been a reunion because i remember once upon a time we showed this picture on television. tell us a little bit about that. >> brian: i was in college at that time and our field trip was to then the morning show with regis philbin. and that's rick thatcher, the

syracuse goalie. we went down there and he couldn't have been nicer. >> steve: you look so much like your son. >> brian: do i really? >> steve: yes. >> brian: he's still doing it. that's when it was the morning show before it was national. >> gretchen: very cute. so you have a long history are regis and now you get to work with him. >> brian: 82 years old, sitting there as quick as anybody. >> steve: he's a role model. >> gretchen: coming up on "fox & friends," she bravely shared her story of surviving an attack at gun point. the response? >> chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you. >> gretchen: the victim will respond to that democratic senator live coming up next. >> steve: and sorry, brian. you're going to need a new suit. turns out beer goggles are a mess. >> brian: what is that on me? >> gretchen: just because you drink a lot of beer doesn't mean you have goggles on. >> brian: i choose to have a

beer once in a while only hertz gives you a carfirmation. hey, this is challenger. i'll be waiting for you in stall 5. it confirms your reservation and the location your car is in, the moment you land. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. new honey bunches of oats greek yohere we go.ole grain. honey cornflakes and chunks of greek yogurt. i'm tasting both the yogurt and the honey at the same time. i'm like digging this yogurt thing. i feel healthy. new honey bunches of oats greek.

>> gretchen: 16 minutes after the top of the hour. democratic law maker in colorado coming under fire for her remarks during a marrying on gun control measures monday. state senator lectured a female rape survivor that the assault would likely have been worse had she been armed with a gun. watch this. >> just want to say that actually statistics are not on your side, even if you had had a gun. you said that you were a martial arts student and yet, i mean -- person, experienced in taekwondo, and yet, because this individual was so large, was able to overcome you even with your skills. and chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you

and possibly use it against you. >> gretchen: amanda collins, assaulted at gun point in october evan it, was on the -- season, was on the receiving end of those remarks and joins me live from reno, nevada. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> gretchen: fine, thank you. what was your response back to that woman after she said that to you? >> i said respectfully, senator, you weren't there. >> gretchen: she was not the one who went through the rape that you went through. >> right. and that i was there and i know beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind that had i been carrying that night, i would have at some point been able to stop my attack and consequently, two other rapes would have been prevented and a young life would have been saved. >> gretchen: because the man who attacked you and raped you is now on death row after killing a woman. did he have a gun when he attacked you?

>> he did. he did. he had no regard for the arbitrary line that is drawn at the university as nevada-reno. >> gretchen: he also, of course, broke the law in deciding to assault you. but do you feel like the onus has been placed on you as the woman, as the victim in this discussion? >> i believe that it was turned around tomorrow, yeah. it's interesting that they're talking about all the things that women can do to reduce their risk and i talked about the experience i had in martial arts training and everything that i had done to reduce my risk to show them that that's all it is, is risk reduction and it's not a guarantee and that my choice in how i want to protect myself should not be mandated by the government. >> gretchen: you say you can have all the training in the world, but the one equalizing factor between a male and female is a firearm. in fact, you had a firearm in

your car. >> actually it was in my home because as the law sits now in nevada, you can't even have it in your vehicle on campus. so i left it at home that night as a law-abiding citizen because i wasn't permitted. >> gretchen: had you had that gun with you, what would have happened? >> i would have been able to stop my attack while it was in progress. >> gretchen: how are you doing now as a result of having been an assault victim? >> well, you know, the healing process is lifelong and i'm speaking out about this because there needs to be a voice for women, you know, even after i testified in colorado, a woman came up to me and she gave me a hug and she showed me the whistle on her key chain and she said, thank you for speak out

'cause i'm not going to get a chance to testify. but this is the whistle that couldn't save me. >> gretchen: of course, we remember famously the colorado state representative, joe salazar, who said, call boxes and whistles were plenty for women, that they didn't need to be carrying a concealed weapon. amanda collins, thank you for your bravery and coming forward and telling your story. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> gretchen: what do you think about that? let us know. e-mail or twitter us. coming up on "fox & friends," cdc calls it a nightmare. untreatable superbug that's spreading very fast. what you need to know about this. then he led the new york giants to two super bowl wins. so what's his secret? is he telling brian? what about a contract with his wife to stay off the field? tom coughlin is here next with a story you have to hear next

>> steve: time for news by the numbers. first, 5,000. that's how many illegals the obama administration is planning to release because of sequestration, they say. the number revealed in a document from immigration and customs enforcement, also known as ice. next, more than $7,000. a joint house and senate report says that is how much insurance premiums for families could cost per year thanks to obamacare. $7,000. and 4.6 million. that's how many low income households in california can now get free cell phones thanks to the federal government. last year the program cost taxpayers more than $2 billion. now over to brian and that coach from new jersey.

>> brian: he led the new york giants to two super bowl victories with his system of relentless preparation and old school resilience. now head coach tom coughlin sharing advice in his new book called "earn the rights to win." how success in any field starts with superior preparation. joining us now, coach tom coughlin. first off, great job on the book. this is not just going to help a football coach. this will help anyone going to work today. >> this will help any individual trying to be the very best they can be, brian. it talks about relentless preparation, hard work, organization, structure, all the things you need to do to get ahead. do the job right, the one that you're in. then things take care of themselves. >> brian: to prove how diverse this book is, you even have a contract with your wife. >> that's right. >> brian: describe that. >> she demands this. >> brian: what is it? >> judy has five days every year at the end of the football season and we have to go away and it's five days and i've tried to renegotiate, there is no renegotiating. she wants it longer. i've been holding the ground on that one.

but that's part of the deal. she puts up with me during the season and then gets her five days. >> brian: they basically say, what have you been doing for 11 months? catch me up. >> that's right. >> brian: here are some of the axioms from your book and we can expand on them. prepare for unexpected opportunities. in what way? >> you never know when that's going to happen, brian. if you have structure and organization and you believe in what you're doing, you are prepared. we call it midstream adjust. how about the example of having to go over to minnesota in 2011 to play, we think, get a blizzard, have to go to kansas city, don't even know if we got a hotel in kansas city and eventually we go to detroit to play the minnesota vikings on a monday night when the game was supposed to be on sunday. things happen. you have to mellow out. you have to make your team understand. there is no panic. relax. we'll get this thing worked out. sometimes there are things you do not control. >> brian: all right. make a big deal about small things. that is you -- you're a detail guy. >> we are. very much so. but i wanted the players to know if you're a professional operation, you do things in a first class way, that's the way you do everything.

the illustration here is jeff came to me -- >> brian: first round pick of the new york jets. >> yep. jeff was with us in jacksonville, our very first training camp. i asked him how the food was one of the very first mornings he said, the food great, but the coffee is so-so. we made big deal about it. get it right. the next morning he came in, thought it was great. take care of all the little details. >> gretchen: it just sends a message to the players. show up on time. five minutes earlier. practice is a challenge, not a chore. in what respect? >> because you have to look forward to that. practice is actually the culmination of a day's work. you must look forward to that because that's where you polish, that's where you take what you've learned to the practice field and by going full speed, you indicate that you you understand what's going on. >> brian: if there is a kid about to take a test today, you're not staying up all night the night before and hoping to be -- take some red bull. you have practiced or studied all week long and you're ready for that thing.

>> systematically. each day you may set aside from 6 to 7 at night to study in preparation for that test so that it isn't all on one day. >> brian: respect your competition. >> absolutely. don't give your competition any type of information that might insent them or make them feel like they have more to gain psychologically by what something you've said or written. >> brian: i have so much to ask you. we'll ask more on radio. but here is the one thing, so many people watching right now don't have jobs. tom coughlin didn't have a job. you were fired, but in your head you know you coach again. so you show up at the combines and the scouting and you meet giant gm manager who said, what are you doing here? you don't have a job. and he said, they will. when the giants fired their coach, they called you because they knew you were ready. >> you never know when it's gog happen. when you lose your job, yourself-esteem is down and you have to pick yourself back up and get going. once you start to do that, you have to realize you've got to be

ready for the next opportunity. you don't know when it's going to come. anyone out of work, this could happen to. the call could come at night, we want to talk to you at 8:00 o'clock the next morning. are you prepared? are you panicked? do you know exactly what you're going to present? are you ready to present your program and to tell people how you're going to illustrate this job in a better fashion? >> brian: here is one thing i learned from your book that i thought i knew about you. you change. use 50, 60, 70, it doesn't mean you can't change or learn. you evolve as a coach and that's why the giant fans are pumped up. >> you have to continue to learn and study. it's john wond. you spend your whole life learning. if you stop learning, you're done. >> brian: tom coughlin, always great to see you. congratulations on the book. coming up, run on this, you loser. dunkin' donuts uses her doughnut as a weapon.

some ranch flavoring. taco bell fans have been waiting for the debut of the cool ranch doritss locos. they start today. steve is going at it right now. >> brian: you can not eat a taco over a laptop. you have to have a -- >> gretchen: why not? these laptops have been around since washington. >> steve: that's delicious. >> brian: you're right. washington did have a laptop in most of the paintings. >> gretchen: i don't know if i can stomach one right now, but maybe for lunch. >> steve: it's a breakfast taco. they're delicious. this is, by the way, you can get them a day early if you just go in and ask for them. this is the largest marketing campaign in taco bell history. they have one version that a congratulations to all those great people at taco bell. apologies to tom coughlin, you're reading on his card.

free taco around the world? >> steve: i think the crew will clean this up. you can go to your local taco bell. >> gretchen: oh, wow. >> steve: they'll sell you one today. >> brian: happy wednesday with the cool ranch. now to your headlines. in a few hours, trading kicks off on wall street after the dow hit a record yesterday. expecting another one today. it closed at 14,254. beating the previous record from 2007. it sent overseas markets soaring. japan's nikkei index jumped 2%. european markets also seeing strong gains. >> steve: like a plot of a horror movie, a super bug is redding across the country. the cbc calling it the nightmare bacteria. cre, as it is now known, comes from the same family as e.coli, but it's resistant to antibiotics. that's bad. bacteria is currently finding

its way into u.s. hospitals, spreading by dirty hands and into some nursing homes as well. research shows half of the people infected die during the first half of 2012, 200 people were infected. great. >> brian: run on this, loser. quick thinking cashier at the dunkin' donuts stopped a robbery with hot coffee. you can see the bad guy trying to climb through the window. that's when the worker sprang into action, first trying to slam the window shut. then toss ago hot cup of coffee in his face. when that didn't work, went for the entire pot. the robber left empty handed but up all night. >> steve: this is our fast food edition. >> gretchen: and now we're going to drink. you can't use beer goggles as an excuse anymore. turns out it's all a myth. a new study finds drinking beer doesn't make you imagine someone is better looking. instead, you see them the same as you always did. however, alcohol does increase

desire. that's the hook. by switching off the rational and decision making areas of the brain. it's the same thing. you know, kind of, right? >> brian: we have our scientists working on beer goggle studies? >> steve: uh-huh. they're turning off the white house tours. but we got those studies? the nation's capitol shut down today, it will be closed as it braces for maybe a foot of snow. peter doocy is live on the mall near the capitol with the very latest. sun is coming up and it's getting white down there. >> that's right. and sequestration last week didn't shut down dc, but snow questerration as some are calling this, it's the reason that all federal offices here in washington are closed today, all nonemergency employees have already been told they can take paid leave today. they don't want anybody on the roads who doesn't have to be. those employees have been told if they have to go to work, then they can. but otherwise stay off the roads because we're told this storm is about to start getting bad. at the capitol behind me, some

hearings have been postponed, including one about cyber security and one about asteroids and we're told that congressmen and women in the house will work today until about 1:00 o'clock. then they're going to leave. they're going to spend the morning work on the continuing resolution to fund the government through the -- past the end of march. then they're going to go home as well because this afternoon is when they think the roads will be really bad. but anybody who tries to fly anywhere in washington is going to have a problem because we're told already more than 1,000 flights at dulles airport and reagan airport, to and from, have been canceled because of the white stuff. down at the white house, the crimson tide have been told that they have to wait to celebrate their national championship with president obama. the university of alabama's football team is in town, but they are not going to be able to meet with the president. there are those, power crews from alabama and georgia who are here. i don't want to lose my hat. because we're told all hands on

deck, you see heavy cold snow on the way and it's very windy. back to you. >> gretchen: thanks very much, peter. we'll keep a close eye on the storm. another event postponed today. michelle obama's let's move will move tomorrow. it's expected to honor churches across the country helping their communities get in shape. >> steve: joining us right now live from dc, donna richardson joiner, the renowned fitness instructor and will be giving out the awards tomorrow. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you guys? >> steve: we're doing okay. sorry they had to cancel the event. they had to move the event. >> they had to move it. what a festive morning. tacos, beer, let's move! [ laughter ] >> gretchen: we need to after all of that. tell us about the awards. who are you going to be handing them out to? >> well, there is a church that has been acknowledged for their creative programming, which was to really get families involved, so they really created a program that focused on prevention, education, good nutrition, physical activity, gardening and they came up with a program that

was sustainable, measurable, creative, and the macedonia missionary baptist church has won. with that winning they are going to be honored at the white house and their video is up on the let's move web site. what i really enjoyed about what they did was they combined faith, fellowship, food, fitness and fun. >> steve: that's great. i understand also the city of san fernando in california won an award as well, didn't they? >> they did. there was several given out. what we really liked about what san diego did was that, again, they were very creative. they got multiple generational, just families and people involved in the community. it just wasn't about the church. we have a health epidemic. one in every three kids are obese. two-thirds of america is overweight or obese. we can no longer sit back and do nothing. we must move now. >> gretchen: what is it about the church and faith in bringing families together that helps on this mission? >> i think that it's important

that when you are living a life and i'm saying being a living witness to your faith, it's important to honor and glorify god with good health. so i believe in having programs at the churches focusing in on the families and the communities. i believe it provides a safe place. it provides fellowship. you're not intimidated, 'cause if you go to gyms, you're looking at other people with buff bodies. so you feel like there is family there. you're not in it alone. so you know that you have your foundation, you have your family. and all things are possible. so i think it's great how we've combined faith and fitness. we kicked off this -- i had the honor of kicking it off last year, with first lady michelle obama. this is her third year anniversary celebration. we have a lot of work to do. so i'm just asking america to wake up and let's move! let's get pumped up, powered up and prayed up. >> steve: very nice. of course, she also worked with president george w. bush as

they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. >> steve: welcome back. for nearly three decades, he helped enforce the law of the land and protect the people of new york city as captain eventually. now one man is protecting a

different kind of law, god's law. joining us right now is the pistol packing pastor from christian pentecostal church in staten island, new york, pastor john rocco carlo. gosh to you. >> good morning. >> steve: what does that mean? pistol packing? >> well, it's not a strange thing. if you look in the new testament, the disciples carried swords, some of them. even the apostle, paul, who was a young rabbi, they had the temple police at the time. they went out and made arrests. >> steve: sure. >> so it's not uncommon to mix the two occupations. >> steve: and you actually say having been in a police officer for many years, decades, and now a pastor for decades, while it may seem like there are different lines of work, there are a lot of parallels, aren't there? >> definitely. we deal with the same clientele and i think as a police officer, you have a kind of insight into what people are really trying to say.

many times people tell you a half truth and not the whole truth and you can't help someone without the truth. >> steve: sure. unfortunately, today one of the truths is even church can be a not safe place. >> that's correct. i've had people come in with weapons. people on their way -- a young lady on the way to kill someone came in with a knife. went to pray for her and she told me what she was going to do and i asked her how she was going to do it. i had to take a knife away from her. unfortunately, this is the truth everywhere. there isn't a church, a synagogue or a mosque that's safe in the sense of go back a few years ago where people respected these type of places. >> steve: when you were a cop on the beat, you probably turned to god a lot, didn't you? >> yes. policemen run through the valley of death every day. you meet people, you don't know what their agenda is. >> steve: i read in the new york post that a parishioner in your congregation said when he's around, you feel safe.

you feel like nothing bad is going to happen to you. >> well, i wish i could guarantee that. but only the boss knows. >> steve: that's right. you're not taking any chances. >> no, it's not that. i don't always carry a gun. i go to places where angels fear to tread, so to speak. i've seen things that you don't want to see. i've been in places where you don't want to go and i've met people you don't want to meet. >> steve: sure. >> and the same thing applies in ministry. i think being a cop, i'm not afraid to meet bad people because i know where they're coming from. they know where i'm coming from and i can help them. >> steve: absolutely. a lot of people turn to you, turn to police officers as well. pastor, real pleasure. thank you very much. good luck. all right. nice story. straight ahead, does this sound familiar? your wife still has a teddy bear from when she was a kid. is that normal or is that nuts? dr. keith ablow's diagnosis is in as he heads to the curvy

[ male announcer ] centrum. always your most complete.

>> steve: yep. are you normal or are you nuts? it's a question a lot of people ask every once in a while and it's a different question we ask dr. keith ablow every week. >> gretchen: and joining us now to answer e-mails, fox news contributor and psychiatrist, dr. keith ablow. you do this segment at least, right? so here is the first e-mail. lights see if we can stump you. my girlfriend still carries a teddy bear around with her, not just sleeps with it, but carries

it around in her purse. it doesn't matter if she's going to work, the movies, or we're out for a really nice dinner. she has to have the bear tucked into the pocket of her purse. is this normal? i was with him for the first sentence, but after that, he lost me. >> there you go. i think it's really not normal. >> steve: if she's seven. >> if she's seven, it's normal. but the reason it's not normal is she can't go anywhere without this. it's beyond a good luck charm where you're like, i don't have it with me and i'll take it next time. she can't go anywhere without the bear. so my advice to take a little serious turn here to her boyfriend is gently ask her, what are you hoping the bear protects you from? second step in this delicate dance is, what do you wish the bear had protected you from? now, now you know your girlfriend -- lay down on the couch and bring your bear. >> brian: i used to be a teddy roosevelt bear. >> could be.

>> brian: my best friend and her boyfriend broke up a while back. my other -- the other day my boyfriend and i met him out for drinks and he bought his new girlfriend -- she was really nice, and we had a great time with them. but now i'm feeling like i betrayed my friend by enjoying myself with the newcombe. normal or nuts? >> i think it's pretty normal. why wouldn't you feel uncomfortable, because you're allegiance is to your friend. i even question why it's so necessary to meet the guy for coffee with his new girlfriend. if you feel that uncomfortable that you'd be embarrassed telling your friend that you did it, don't do it. >> steve: don't even show up. >> brian: you became a parent there for a second. >> that's what it came down to. >> steve: okay. time for a pda, public display of annoyance. i hate when i'm waiting in line or sitting on a bus and someone is having a full length conversation on the telephone. i mean, it's rude! and it gets me so mad that i'll comment on their conversation to

whomever is around or just start a loud one of my own in response to show just how obnoxious airing everything in public is. am i nuts? >> i think this is a little crazy. here is why. the etiquette around us is not well established. so the idea that you're going to take it to a whole new level by, like, shouting out a competing conversation, you can get yourself punched in the face, right? >> gretchen: exactly. >> i think it's bad idea and a little nutty. what's different, really? i've restrained myself, actually, from commenting or grimacing. what's different as opposed to sitting next to someone on the plane talking to that person? there is really no difference in volume level f. you're not going to intervene then, why intervene now? >> brian: you're not included in their conversation, some level it bothers you. >> it has bothered me enough to occasionally interject and say, can i just get in on this?

i think it's about your mother. [ laughter ] >> gretchen: i try to stay out of those conversations. >> steve: we're on the plane and keith is drunk again. back to you. >> exactly. there you go. so is this crazy or not? it took me longer to fly in because they were stating that tsa was taking longer and i felt good about it. does that make me an economic macis 'cause i felt good, lime i'm doing my part. >> steve: the cuts in overtime are because of the sequester. >> that's what they were saying while checking my bag. >> i said good. save more. >> gretchen: safe flight home. >> did i talk too much? >> brian: we'll see you on the radio. >> gretchen: the wwe star mike the miz is here and mayor rudy guiliani will be here as well.

spending two nights lost on a mountain in maine. he was skiing with his family sunday when he got lost in the back area of the mountain. using skills, he built a snow cave to stay warm, drank water from a nearby stream and followed the sounds of snowmobiles to find his way back to a trail. he flagged down a firefighter who joined the search. >> oh, my god. happy, happy ending. yep. >> how is he doing? >> doing really good. >> the turnout was tremendous. it couldn't have gone any better. >> gretchen: joy's request for a first meal upon returning was a hamburger. those are your headlines. >> steve: probably warm. >> brian: here is the explanation, i just found. u.s. secret service spokesman explained the canceling of the white house tours will allow for uniformed officers normally assigned to public tours to be reassigned to other security posts at the white house. >> steve: what we're talking

about is the sequester went into effect on friday. right? well, pretty much immediately people really didn't notice much going on. so what the white house did yesterday, because they say that the sequester has cut about a million dollars from their budget. they canceled the white house tours. that's right. a lot of seniors who take that tour, a lot of kids with their school groups go to washington around the spring and cherry blossom time. they won't be able to do it. here is the other thing about it. did you know that those tours for the most part are conducted by volunteers who do not get paid a dime? but look, this is symbolic. the white house is trying to show, look, the sequester is really taking hold here in washington. we're going to have to cancel the white house tours. louis gohmert not buying it, though. he's a republican from texas and he just sponsored this bill i hold right here. hr 933, on the house floor. what is it? here is louis. >> none of the funds made available by a division of this

act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the white house resume. that way we will both work together so the president will not be able to take a golf outing that causes 341 more federal officials to be furloughed and will lose their job, at least temporarily. >> steve: hilarious. >> gretchen: here is the deal. do people need to grow up on capitol hill? are they really doing this as a political statement? shutting down these tours to the white house -- >> steve: symbolic. >> gretchen: because it is something that will affect kids, that will affect a lot of families, so that this will gin up the discussion about oh, those spending cuts were so horrible. is it political? if so, is that the right way to handle this? maybe it's not political, but it smells like it could be this morning. and louis gohmert, is that just funny, saying that the president shouldn't go on golf trips anymore, or should people actually get in a room and actually get something done and

act like adults? i'd be in favor of the latter. >> brian: you're going to see more symbolic gestures which i think the pentagon was involved with. saying we don't have enough gas to get there from harry truman, saying we have to postpone the uss abe happen lincoln. that's the same thing as the white house tours and the golf thing. >> gretchen: when you cry wolf that many times, the american people are going to start tuning out, which is what you don't want them to do in this case. and they're just going to get more frustrated. this is why congress' approval rating and by the way, the president's approval rating has fallen in the last week. why? because people don't like to be lied to or told stories that don't end up panning out. >> steve: so what they're doing is the administration is trying to make it look as bad as they possibly can. will closing off the white house tours cause the republicans to go ahead and raise taxes? absolutely not. but it is all symbolic. the white house and the administration is trying to make

it as painful as possible. there's a fellow who works for the fda and he wants to know, do we have any flexibility in moving money around? he got an answer from the home office in washington, d.c. and it's kind of contained in this. it says, his e-mail does, we have gone on record with the notification to congress and whoever else that aphis would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aqua culture industry, fishing, unless they provide funding to cover cost. so it's our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be. in other words, if you're going to move money around, don't make it look like there is no pain. >> brian: the other words were we're not told to do anything that would lessen the dire impacts congress had been warned of. by the way, i just been handed a note. the easter egg roll, they'll have one egg because they're

cutting back on the number of eggs. so all the kids will have to roll one egg. >> gretchen: let's be serious about this for a minute. are we going to actually gin up long lines at airports to prove a point? >> brian: yes! i guarantee you it's going to happen. >> steve: keith ablow said he was told when he flew here no new york city, you know, it's all about overtime and that's why there is a longer wait. what i'm curious is with the white house now closed for tours, what about those people who are donating the $500,000 for direct access to the president of the united states on a quarterly basis. >> brian: which is not happening? >> steve: no, it is going to a. the big question is, will they do it there at the white house? they're closing the white house for them, the people who are on the tours, will they close it for the big deep pocketed donors who are buying a the president? >> gretchen: that's going to be allowed. it's interesting that the capitol hill tours are still going to be going on. so you have to wonder how can they keep that particular tour

operating where you can go up and meet congress. >> brian: the reason why the elevators was such a long wait and so long -- >> steve: sequestration? >> brian: no, tim mccarveer, all the stars from sports were in, including david hill and company, about fox sports launching and they're going to compete with cnn. i caught up with mike strahan and here is what it was like talking about last night and what his new job is. i guess you get used to the term seamless. seamless transition to the real civilian world into a general population talk show. why does it look so easy for you? you and kelly, mike and kelly. how did you do it? >> 'cause i used to come on your show in the mornings and watch you perform and since -- said that is the guy i want to be like. >> brian: really? >> yes. you inspired me. i learned so much from you.

>> brian: when you were taking notes, i thought you were trying to get workout tips. i had no idea they were tv tips. >> no, trust me. they were tv tips. it was nothing to too with your exercise program. yeah. nothing to do with your exercise program. >> brian: regis into the sports world. had you got the job in the entertainment world. >> we're kind of doing that reverse commute, i guess you want to call it, where i go from sports entertainment, he goes from entertainment to sports. regis has always been a big sports fan. he's always had a great take on everything, which is why he's been successful. to see him have this show with his take on sports is something i want to see. i think people will be interested. >> brian: was this a dream you always had. you retire, regis retire and i want to try for this. was it always your dream to not be a football player after football? >> i think i have a lot of interest outside of just playing football. i think people think that you're just lumped into doing one thing. so if you have the opportunity to do something else, then you give a shot. i didn't necessarily think that i was going to get the job. but i had fun doing it and now

i'm doing it full time. it's amaying. i love it. kelly if phenomenal and the whole staff, everybody worked so hard to make it look like i'm seamless. that's everybody else's hard work. >> brian: thanks, best of luck. >> steve: i remember him being on our show probably two years before regis went out and at one point, i remember having a conversation with you where you said, you know, he would be a good replacement for regis because they were talking about it. so you predicted that two years out. if miss cleo, if you want to give her money, jean dixon currently not predicting much, if you want to get into that business, that's part of your record. >> brian: i'm perfectly willing to steer anybody's career. >> gretchen: i think you would do better at that than math. >> brian: i tried to help tiki for a while at work. who knows? those were the days. >> gretchen: coming up, you can now keep calm and carry on knives, that is. the tsa changing its rules. is that a good idea? your e-mails are pouring in and we'll read them coming up. >> steve: he ran the biggest

city in the united states successfully. so we want to know, mr. mayor, how can we get washington back on track? rudy guiliani now live in studio e. he's with us on the other side of a brief timeout. >> brian: the most popular man new york ever had. >> steve: don't tell la guardia that 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. 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.

good morning to you. >> how are you? >> steve: we got the cr at the end of this month. they got to pass it to fund us through september. the red light is blinking on the dashboard, we're running out of money. >> no budget for what, 1400 days? >> gretchen: four years. >> yeah. they should all be fired. if i'm running a company and i can't produce a budget for one year, i get fired. two years, i get -- three years i get sued. four years i get put in prison, i think. this is like ridiculous. we don't have a budget for our government. we're going to have a continuing resolution. that's not really good enough. you should have hearings. you should have a process. we should examine. >> brian: the house gets a plan, they go into committee and then go in and have a session, a conference, and then we're going to get some type of answers. we have a debate. we can't get a debate. now we understand that paul ryan is putting together his budget. patty murray is putting together hers. hers leads with raising taxes. >> what else? the reality is there won't be a senate budget.

it will be a patty murray budget. what the heck is that worth? it should be a senate budget. the senate should do what the house does. first of all t should work. they don't work. if you're not doing a budget, i don't know what the heck you're doing. half of the work of a legislature is doing a budget. maybe if they did one, this wouldn't do other stupid things they do. this is outrageous. we're probably going to get a continuing resolution. i think the republicans will try to smooth out the $85 billion sequester. in other words, take away money from some of the places that are getting hurt, put it somewhere else. maybe that will pass. maybe it won't pass. we're still in a long-term fiscal crisis because we don't have a long-term plan. >> steve: because the white house. >> because of the white house is absurd. >> gretchen: the theme of the day for me is, who is the adult in the room? we can't put a budget on the table. we can't come as adults together can. and we're closing white house tours. it just seems ridiculous. >> i would maintain that boehner is the adult in the room. i think he's conducted himself

in the right way. you may not like the budget, but the house passes a budget. it does its job. now the snoot should pass one. we may not like it, but they get together and negotiate it out. we did this with a democratic city council that was 45 democrats and six republicans 'cause i was an adult and peter valone was an adult. >> brian: mayor, one thing is clear, the president misplayed this chess game. >> he did. >> brian: he misplayed it and now he's in a situation where he's trying to in some way subtle way, make sequester worse than it actually is. >> what is the quote, first we practice to deceive? come on, this whole two months has been a total joke about how the government is going to stop on a 2 1/2% cut. we're going to have to take teachers away. we'll have to take food away. >> gretchen: release illegals. >> have to put criminals out on the street. this is a 2 1/2% cut in an increase. >> steve: sure. >> which should have no impact if you can manage at all.

>> steve: it's a decrease in the increase. before you go, you got to tell us about -- you teamed up with home surge. >> i have. people don't realize this, the water lines and the sewer lines coming into your home are not covered by homeowners insurance or mostly -- >> steve: but they break. >> this is 97% true. so if it breaks, all of a sudden you get a big surprise. you think the municipality will pay for it. you think the homeowners will pay for it. the area from the city line to your house, you pay for it and can cost 1,000, 2,000, $3,000. >> basic coverage, 60 bucks a year. also, they do the work for you. if it happens, you don't have to go find the contractor. >> steve: mayor, thank you very much. >> home serve. very, very good. >> gretchen: the miz turned marine? he's next. >> brian: on the big screen. and on our big couch [ woman ] my boyfriend and i were going on vacation,

is here, cheers from the fans at the same time he's stepping out of the wrestling ring for a brief moment to play an all american hero. he's starring in the movie called "marine 3 home front" playing a marine sergeant on a mission to rescue his kidnapped sister. >> my sister is missing. i got trouble with that. >> where is she? >> she's in the old ferry. >> brian: the miz is the guest this morning. >> what happens next! >> brian: you don't even remember. >> you got to go get the blu-ray or dvd. >> brian: does anyone have a blu-ray player to watch this?

okay. welcome. congratulations. >> thank you. >> brian: you're in the movie. how is it different from your day job, which is throwing other sweaty men around? >> when you're in the wwe, you perform in front of 20,000 live at met life stadium, april 20, i'll be performing like 80,000 people. so it will be incredible. but you get one take in wwe. in a movie, i got as many takes as i want. i only needed one take, obviously. >> brian: you're a very confident man. >> i am. i'm not one to brag about these sort of things. but die have my confidence up. >> brian: i know you can pull off a fight scene. but can you do this? being a in rein, what did you have to incorporate into the personality to be a marine? >> wwe always has tribute to the troops every year. i've been to iraq. >> brian: you do great stuff. >> yes. i've been to bahrain visiting our troops. watching them prepare for battle helped me for this role. not only that, i wanted it to be authentic. i wanted marines in our armed forces to go this guy did a great job. i had marines on set for the fight scenes to say how would you go through this fight, like

what would happen? he's like, listen, it's kill or be killed when you're a marine. you're not doing these round house kicks. it's gritty, raw and real. that's what i wanted to bring to the table. >> brian: one of the stories in iraq and afghanistan, there is hand to hand combat. >> just a little bit. >> brian: house to house t. wasn't the sophisticated, we have a drone, we're going to take out the bad guys. in the script what, will we see different from the miz we see in the ring? >> the miz is a good guy. what i wanted to bring to this character was i didn't want people to go, oh, that's the miz from wwe or that's mike from the real world. i want them to see a whole new character. >> brian: how much does it mean to you that other people have gone from the wwe to hollywood tar dom like the rock? >> that's absolutely incredible. i mean, the rock is a huge mega star. >> brian: you want to fight him! >> i wouldn't mind to. he's the wwe champion right now. he's the main event in wrestle mania 9:00 at met life stadium, april 7 with john fina. i want to be in his spot!

maria molina tracking the storm for us here in new york. all we have is wind. we don't have any snow. is it coming? >> yes, it is coming as we head into later today and tonight, right here in new york city, we should be seeing a little bit of rain at first, then eventually it will get cold enough where it should transition over to snow. we could pick up a couple of inches today and something to note is that this storm system is a very slow mover. so we won't just deal with it as we head into tonight, but also into the day on thursday and into friday morning. so we are expecting anywhere between three to seven inches of snow by the time this thing gets out of the northeast on friday in the new york city area. that includes places across the river, new jersey and also into connecticut of the winter storm warnings in effect in dc and also to the west of that. some of the higher snowfall accumulations from the storm will be across the higher elevations of northern virginia and west virginia and southern pennsylvania. 20 inches of snow possible there. winter storm watch in effect across the boston area because by the time this storm gets there, we're talking four to eight inches possible across the

city of boston. to the west of boston where we have some of the mountain, some of the higher elevation, you could pick up over a foot of snow, possibly two feet in some isolated spots. the wind a big story with the storm system. 50 to 60 miles per hour wind gusts right along the coast. so there are a number of watches and also some warnings in effect out here because of coastal flooding being a concern with the onshore flow. if you're in atlantic city, heads up. it should be already very windy out there today. that's going to be just a big story as far as travel goes. again, long duration event. that's the point to drive home today, tomorrow and on friday. >> steve: maria, we thank you very much. the foot of snow could cause a problem in our nation's capitol because apparently, according to the "new york times," the president is inviting a dozen republican senators over, sounds like for dinner. >> gretchen: for a sleepover? they might have to sleep over. >> steve: i think you have to pay to sleep in the lincoln bedroom. >> brian: i hope he forgets that "washington post" and "wall

street journal" attack plan and stops speaking about 2014 and says guy, let's start again. that would be nice. >> gretchen: you all look at me when you have that optimistic -- no! i love your optimism. however -- >> brian: lindsey graham and mccain, get there and say, listen, let's start again. let's just start fresh. what do you need? >> steve: should we bet a dollar right now? >> brian: dollar on the line. >> steve: right there. >> gretchen: wait, what are we bit bething on? >> steve: bipartisanship breaks out. >> gretchen: really? that's worth manner a buck to me. >> steve: because the dozen senators he's inviting over have a history of being bipartisan because the president needs to get stuff done. anyway, more on that later on of the we've got breaking news. tv icon, valerie harper, facing a devastating diagnosis. she just revealed she has terminal brain cancer. harper best known for her 1970s role as rhoda on "the mary tyler

move" show and her on show" rhoda." she told people magazine she found out about the cancer in january. doctors say she could have as little as three months to live. she previously battled lung cancer in the year of 2009. she's been on this program a number of times. she is a wonderful person. >> gretchen: very sad news. a democrat in colorado lectured a rape survivor who said a gun could have stopped her attacker. >> just want to say that actually statistics are not on your side and chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you. >> gretchen: amanda collins, on the receiving end of those remarks at a gun control hearing, joined me earlier on "fox & friends." >> i talked about the experience i had in marble arts training

and everything that i had done to reduce my risk to show them that that's all it is is risk reduction and it's not a guarantee. and that my choice in how i want to protect myself should not be mandated by the government. >> gretchen: amanda's attacker now on death row after killing a woman after he attacked her. >> steve: sinkhole that swallowed a florida man while he lay in his bed now filled with i can't gravel. but scam artists move in. officials warning people posing as inspectors or lawyers are trying to make money from sinkhole fears. neighbors say they've already gotten some bogus offers. >> i just get the feeling, when a guy i don't know walks up and says, i'm going to do all kind of things for you, walk away from them as quick as you can. >> steve: absolutely. the city down there says before you hire anybody, check with your insurance company to see what they suggest. >> brian: all right.

third annual convenient has been canceled after hamas banned women from participating. union i wouldn't know make the call because it says the ban is too restrictive. hamas claims it didn't reject women. it said males and females could not run together. they won the election, by the way, running on that platform. the u.n. is in the process coming up with an alternative event. what? reading? >> gretchen: they probably can't do that together either. governor perry of texas, rick perry, says releasing the illegals, remember under sequestration, that that started happening before the actual deadline. illegals were released because they said it was too costly to keep them in their place, which was basically jailed. now governor perry has responded to that. he is, of course, in texas, one of the states that has an illegal problem on the border. here is what he thinks about that. >> there is no information forth coming from dhs about who these people are, what kind of crimes they've committed, where they're being turned out, and that is very troubling. not only for our law enforcement, for the citizens

across this country. so i don't know how you would describe it as anything other than a federally-sponsored jail break. >> steve: what's interesting is janet napolitano says that it was not her decision to release. now apparently -- >> brian: whose decision. >> steve: good question. not hers. ice is under her purview, so it would be her department. additionally, janet napolitano -- isn't this curious -- today the news is that the white house announced that, we're going to have to close the white house to tours because we need to save money. just before the sequester went into effect, what did the department of homeland security do? they bought $50 million worth of brand-new uniforms at a tune of about $1,000 per employee, some of them made in mexico. >> brian: they already have uniforms, by the way. maybe they could postpone the new uniform design purchase. >> steve: like a lot of families. >> brian: yes.

here is the other thing. the sheriff down there, he came forward and said, by the way, i found out in my own district these prisoners have been let go. i couldn't find out their backgrounds. i had to go probe into it, finally called the federal government to find out that some of these guys absolutely should not have been released. they weren't low risk prisoners. and now they're out and about and over 1,000 have been let out. not 300. >> gretchen: remember when the secretary napolitano was asked yesterday or on monday what airports we would start seeing these longer lines in, she said, well, i've been hearing atlanta. i've been hearing new york. i've been hearing los angeles. now she's saying that sequester will be the reason that you miss your connection, too. don't laugh, brian. >> brian: by the way, the smoothies will be stopped at the airport when you miss your connection. >> gretchen: in the meantime, they're going to allow knives on airplanes. while you're waiting around in the airport because you've missed your connection, you can go stimulate the economy by buying a knife because you're allowed now to bring it.

along with golf clubs and ski poles starting april 25. >> steve: remember back to september 11, how was it that the terrorists were able to get into the cockpits? they used box cutters. you won't be able to take box cutters on, but you can take knives on. we know the pilots are behind locked and armed doors. but the flight attendants are not. and neither are the passengers. >> brian: remember the crazy pilot that was -- that the copilot maneuvered out of the cockpit. imagine if he now is in the cockpit and he's got a knife with him and if he opens up that door and he's crazy as a loon like that character was. so does this make any sense? is it that much of a delay to say, excuse me, sir, can i have your swiss army knife? >> gretchen: they claim they confiscate a lot of these every single day and it's wasting time. that's now why they're going to allow them. if they served meals, would you

get your real knife back to cut? remember, they took those out,th plastic, the real knives and replaced them. >> steve: they give you metal knives now. >> gretchen: they do? >> brian: they don't give it to gretchen yet. don't say anything. your dang right, i want to take my knife on the airplane, any means that i can have to defend myself is better. that's interesting. defend yourself against other people. >> steve: kay says sure knives on planes is a good idea, and the way to go, not a blade. abelard is a blade no matter what the size. any simple situation could escalate indeed. >> brian: of course. >> steve: one of the other reasons is the tsa says we need to come up to international standards because a number of other countries say go ahead, take your knife. >> brian: up next, it looks like the president is about to try and make a deal by going around republican leadership. we're live at the white house next. >> gretchen: then first bars, then parks. now smoking about to be banned inside your own home

wendell goler is live at the white house with details about what could happen there tonight. wendell? >> at least the republican controlled leadership of the house, the president inviting as many as a dozen republicans or a dozen senators to the white house for dinner tonight. so look for a deal on reducing the deficit and getting us out of this so-called sequester. bypassing the house, which has passed a budget for the past several years, and scolded the senate for not doing so, the budget passed by the house, the democrats in the senate considered and the president considering to be totally unacceptable. now, south carolina senator lindsey graham says the president wants to do a big deal, meaning $4 trillion or so in deficit reduction over ten years, main senator susan collins quoted as saying even though it may be belated, the president does seem to be extending an olive branch. but saxby chambliss says it's hard to be optimistic.

yesterday in his daily briefing, white house press secretary jay carney says the two sides, republican and democrats, really aren't that far apart. here is a bit of what he had to say. >> one of the issues that seems to be still a matter of debate is what do you do with the revenue gained from improving our tax code, closing unnecessary loopholes, eliminating special breaks for the well connected and well off. do you take that and convert it into tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy or apply it to the deficit? >> mitch mcconnell, who you remember was able to work a deal with vice president biden, says he's not surprised the president is trying to talk to republicans on the hill. here is a bit of what he had to say. >> well, i expect the president to talk to various members. frankly, i wish he had done more of that over the years. we've had all of us, very

limited interaction with the president and he's certainly doesn't have to go through me to call my members. i'm sure he will. i encourage him to do so. thank you. >> the president reportedly considering a trip up to capitol hill to talk to lawmakers in the relatively near future, but tonight they'll pack up, trudge through the snow and head here to the white house for a bit of a dinner. steve? >> steve: all right. wendell goler live from washington where the federal government, by the way, because of that terrible snow storm, is officially canceled for today. thank you. next up, first bars, then parks. now smoking is about to be banned inside your house? we're going to tell but that. first let's check in with bill hemmer for a preview of what happens on this channel in ten minutes. >> good morning to you. hugo chavez is dead. the sequester is alive. and the dow is at an all-time high. what is going on? jason which fits on the benghazi

or ventilation system. if a neighbor lights up, we all smoke with them and we know how dangerous secondhand smoke is. >> gretchen: this does not affect stand alone homes. >> it doesn't at all. about 40 million americans live in a situation where they're exposed to secondhand smoke in their apartment or con did cond. 50,000 deaths from secondhand smoke nationwide. >> gretchen: landlords can ban them. here are other things banned in california, clothing donation dropoff box, tanning beds for minors, foigra, entering an animal enclosure at a zoo. a lot of people say there is a ton of regulation. whatever happened to individual rights? >> sure. you mentioned a lot of different laws and i've heard the nanny state critique. but would you want your nanny smoking around your children? i think the answer is no. >> gretchen: but that would be your choice to not hire a nanny who doesn't smoke, or does.

>> sure. we know the dangers of secondhand smoke and this is the ability to protect people where they should feel safest. >> gretchen: let me ask you -- >> we've gotten calls and e-mails nationwide from people. we had a woman in new jersey who called us and she had to barricade her door with towels so she wouldn't have the secondhand smoke. >> gretchen: medical marijuana is legal, right? >> that's right. >> gretchen: so now will this stop people from smoking their medical marijuana in their homes, too? >> so we're limiting this ban to toe pack -- tobacco. >> gretchen: so people will be allowed to smell marijuana smoke from this medical marijuana, but not tobacco smoke? >> well, this is a bill proposal that's really trying to protect people's health and target the largest contributor. >> gretchen: have you looked at studies that show the dangers of medical marijuana -- marijuana in general, in that smoke, too? >> you mention a lot of different laws earlier and we're trying to be very focused and

how this law applies and protect people where they should feel safest. >> gretchen: we'll see how this works out and hopefully then you can work on that law as well because there are many dangers with the smoke from marijuana as well. mark levine, california assemblyman, thanks for your time today. >> it's a pleasure. thank you. >> gretchen: more "fox & friends" three minutes away
