shows. where were you at 8:15 yesterday? i'm talking to you. "fox & friends" starts now. >>gretchen: good morning everybody. you made it till the middle of the week. it is wednesday, the 27th. >>steve: they're having a problem at a fancy restaurant in l.a. called red medicine. >>brian: you have to be responsible. if you call in and you say hey, i'm going to be there at 8:15 with the johnson family. we're getting back together after a long weekend away, you better show up with the johnson family. >>gretchen: tons of people are not responsible. but there is a fix. at least i have one idea that some restaurants do. we'll tell you about that in about ten minutes. let's go to other headlines. overnight we learned a woman in her 60's was found dead on a cruise ship and the f.b.i. is calling it

suspicious. the woman's husband found her body inside their cabin. the royal caribbean ship was on its way back to baltimore from a seven-day cruise from the bahamas. an autopsy is being performed and agents are interviewing the woman's husband. oscar pistorius's brother carl is expected back in court to stand trial for murder accused of driving recklessly and killing a woman in 2008. after the accident the charges were initially dropped but reinstated this year. the story is his lawyers say blood tests prove that he was not under the influence and the death was a tragic accident. tomorrow oscar pistorius's lawyers will be back in court as well to challenge the conditions of his bail. six months after the deadly attack in benghazi a move in the right direction. the marines announcing a new plan to put special ops on navy ships in the middle east. this way our military could respond quicker to future emergencies. the obama administration criticized for how long it took to respond to the benghazi attack that left four americans dead.

cnn anchor john king said you don't need to watch the network anymore. >> if you watch cnn 9:00 in the morning, 10:00 in the morning, 11:00 in the morning, 12:00 the same. a single anchor sitting in the chair reading headlines that none of you have to turn on the tv to get. >>gretchen: king whose show was axed last june speaking to an audience at the john f. kennedy presidential library. i wonder if he'll get a call to the office today. >>brian: he's not watching the channel. he might be watching us and then realizes he might not have said us. >>steve: according to the ratings more people do watch us than all the other channels on cable combined. former general david petraeus. he had that affair with paula broadwell. last night he spoke at an rotc achievement dinner. he got a standing ovation for cutting a cake with a

sword. he made it very clear that he was sorry for what happened. >>brian: here's the opening of his speech. >> i join you keenly aware that i am regarded in a different light now than i was a year ago. i'm also keenly aware that the reason for my recent journey was my own doing. perhaps my experience can be instructive to others who stumble or indeed fall as far as i did. one learns after all that life doesn't stop with such a mistake. it can and must go on. i know that i can never fully assuage the pain i inflicted on those closest to me and on a number of others. i can, however, try to move forward in a manner that is consistent to the values with which i -- to which i subscribed before slipping my moorings and as best possible to make amends to those i have hurt and let down. and that is what i will strive to do. >>gretchen: it's interesting. it's pretty clear it was more than just a one-line

statement. he started with it. he ended with it. it's interesting because a lot of people are saying what does this mean about david petraeus's future? i don't know if you can glean much from that other than he's back out in the public. he's made his statement now. i don't think he'll go back to continuing to apologize for it. it will be interesting to see what he decides to do. >>brian: 99% of what he has done over the last 12 years has been more for this country than anybody else i know. he's not a flamboyant character like general schwartz cop. he's going to be helping veterans' causes and i hope back in the fray. we have more c.i.a. people who say stuff like this went on all the time that didn't compromise you. something happened there. i believe there is a story there on the transition with this administration. i still don't understand why he's not running the c.i.a. >>steve: you could be right. his lawyer bob barnett said he spent the last five months, mr. petraeus, with his family. he's sorry. >>gretchen: out to colorado where it is said

there seems to be a controversy brewing over sherrifs' stance over gun control. they claim some of the lawmakers in colorado who want to pass more stringent holding upth regard to gun the pay rises for these sherrifs unless they change their tune and fall in line and want stricter gun control as well. the democrats who are in favor of these gun control measures say, look, this is all about the economy. that is why we're not doing these pay raises. this plan has been in effect for the last couple of years but the sherrifs aren't so sure about that. >>steve: el paso county sheriff says let me get this straight. we're not getting our pay raises. i have heard, he says, from other lawmakers and other sherrifs that it's clearly one of those quid procash things where unless we go along with what they are doing in the statehouse we're not going to get our money. there's a quotation. he says senate democrats made it known sherrifs, obey or not -- rather, sherrifs, obey or no pay for you.

the first word thatdoms my mind is extortion. >>brian: let's talk more about gun control. the president of the united states sits down and was asked about pot in the past and said there is a federal law saying pot's illegal. but in colorado you can actually have marijuana and not get elected. they say are you going to crack down on that, mr. president? he says essentially he has bigger fish to fry than to walk around and enforce federal law or state laws in all 50 states. when it comes to guns, it's a different story. first here's the president on pot. >> it does not make sense for me, prioritization point of view, for us to focus on recreational drug users in a state that has already said that under state law, that's legal. >>gretchen: it's the issue of what should the state be controlling. there's a lot of issues in the news right now, including something before the supreme court with regard to marriage. whether or not the states should control that or the voters. and it's a similar issue here with regard to legalization of marijuana, gun control, et cetera.

should the states be in control or should the federal law prevail? >>brian: yesterday he comes out and says when it comes to guns i'm making sure the federal law stands despite states like louisiana coming out and idaho and texas coming out with their own state laws which are almost a preemptive strike against federal laws that would take away or limit gun use. >>steve: they're making it clear that if these states pass laws, those laws have got to be enforced. jay carney said yesterday we think people ought to follow the law. well then, if they follow the law, they would arrest those pot smokers in states like colorado and washington, where smoking pot is against a federal law. >>gretchen: if you know you have a big night planned out on the town and you want to go to the hippest, newest restaurant in your particular area, do you make one reservation or do you make a couple? because you know you're going to call your friends and say what are you in the mood for? you want chinese tonight or do you actually feel like you want olive garden

italian salad? >>brian: at red medicine they are fed up with people going 8:15 i'll be there, parties of nine and not showing up. they've gotten aggressive. >>steve: what they've done is on the official red medicine twitter account they shame people who don't show up. here's an example of one of their tweets. all the nice guests who wonder why restaurants overbook and they sometimes have to wait for their reservations should thank people like those below. and then it goes into -- we're not going to name the person. we're not going to shame them. where they essentially say you cost us money. you didn't show up. >>brian: for example, it says i hope you enjoyed your girlfriend's birthday and the flowers you didn't bring when you no-showed for your 8:15 reservation. thanks. >>gretchen: big thanks for no showing between 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. here's a solution. some restaurants make you put down a credit card

number. if you don't show up, very clear in the fine print, you don't show up and you get charged a fee of some sort. 25 bucks, 50 bucks, whatever. that entices people to actually cancel the reservation or show up. the restaurant should try that first before putting the names down. >>steve: the problem with this restaurant is the main thing you want in a restaurant is you want people to come in, love it and come back a lot. but if you shame your customer, wait a minute, i'm not going back there ever again. i can't believe they did that to me. >>brian: on seinfeld, the soup nazis did not treat people nice but they still lined up to buy his soup. sometimes as mean as you treat people, they still want to be treated mean as long as the -- >>steve: the soup nazi didn't forget no soup for you. >>brian: there was criteria. >>steve: do you think that's good for business to publicly shame your customers for costing them money? >>gretchen: what about the responsibility of the customers? i mean, people do not have

personal responsibility as much in our society anymore. if you make a plan, stick to it. let us know how you feel about that one. brand-new details about the benghazi survivors coming out now. our next guest says there are more than 30 of them and they are hiding in plain sight. >>brian: the government handing out prizes with your money for things like the vegetable wrap wrap. -- vegetable wrap rap. >>brian: that guy gets $1,000. wait, aren't we $16 trillion in the hole? and we're paying for that? >>steve: yeah, but we're >>steve: yeah, but we're healthy.

>>steve: we have been wondering for more than six months about the survivors of the benghazi terror attack. while we learned there may be more than 30 of them, few people know who they are or even where they are. but our next guest says they may be hiding in a hospital in washington, d.c. investigative journalist, author of leading from behind richard minninger joins us. >> we have a report on forbes.com that there may be as many as seven being treated at walter reed hospital. >>steve: here's the thing. a lot of people actually know the identities of these people. you have spoken to some family members but they're not talking. and they're not talking because they have been told you can't talk. >> almost certainly. the white house denies, of course, that they have been told they can't talk. but the family members tell a different story. these people have children in many cases there are mortgages. they have had good career reasons not to want to

talk. they would like to continue in their careers and serving this country in various capacities. some of them that are still federal employees could suffer prosecution under the law for violating the classified oaths they swore. >>steve: absolutely. i've heard some of the people working for the military or defense related were awarded medals and said congratulations, you can't talk. and if you do, you'll be prosecuted. that's why they're quiet. you make a great case. if they talk, we will learn that what happened on september 11 of 2012 was an act of war against the united states and just a few months before an election, the president didn't want that out. >> right. president obama was campaigning just a few months -- last year saying that, hey, we've killed osama bin laden and al qaeda is on the run, when there's a major attack on our diplomatic outpost in benghazi. this is the biggest attack that al qaeda has mounted since 9/11 outside of the afghan-pakistan region. here it is in north africa

attacking a u.s. facility killing four people, including the u.s. ambassador. according to libyan reports there were more than 100 attackers, the subunit commanders were wearing afghan clothing, very unusual in north africa, tending to indicate relationship with al qaeda. this is a major attack with machine guns, mortars that was clearly months in the works. for the president to say it was just a demonstration that had gone awry, what libyan intelligence and others have said demonstrations happen during the day. attacks happen at night. and this one began at night. >>steve: plus four dead americans. if that is not correct and it wasn't an act of war, those survivors could tell us what did happen, so we would finally know. >> that's right. if this is false, if this was a demonstration that went awry, the president's been right the whole time, it's a very poisonous notion to leave this falsehood out there. if people have the wrong impression, it is vital the president correct it.

at the very beginning of iran contra, the defenders of president reagan said this is nothing and brushed it off and it almost devoured the last term of the reagan presidency as much as we see him as a hero now. at the time it was huge. the same thing with bill clinton and his second term. if president obama's administration doesn't come forward now, make the survivors available, cooperate with the congressional investigation by putting it off, it can build bigger and bigger and ultimately tkwoer his second term -- devour his second term. that would be a tragedy not just for the president but for the country. >>steve: thank you very much. great piece today in forbes. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. say a little prayer for her. dionne warwick is in serious trouble with the i.r.s., to the tune of $10 million. how did that happen? we'll explain. >> federal workers are more likely to die than lose their job. and it's costing you the taxpayer a fortune. a closer look next. one-on-one w

>>brian: quick headlines. today the supreme court takes on its second same-sex marriage case. this time questioning the federal laws defense of marriage act. yesterday justices considered california's gay marriage ban and seemed to doubt whether they should take up the case at all or leave it to the states. justice kennedy saying they have five years of sociological information to weigh against two thousand years of history. and say a little prayer for dionne warwick. she's bankrupt.

the singer owes nearly $10 million in back taxes. the five-time grammy award winner blaming mismanagement by her handlers for her current financial woes rather than blame yourself. that's certainly convenient. gretch? >>gretchen: thank you, brian. if you work for the federal government, you're more likely to die than lose your job. that was the stunning analysis from "usa today" back in 2011. new numbers show not much has changed. in 2012 only .47% of federal workers were fired compared to 3% of workers in the private sector. with federal workers enjoying an average salary of over $80,000, how much is this costing our debt-ridden nation? joining me is james. i get the argument here. nothing against federal workers at all.

it's more against the system; correct? >> that is correct *t that are the. once you pass your probationary year in the federal government, it becomes almost impossible to fire a worker. less than 300 workers who pass that first year get fired each year. most federal employees are working very hard but there's always deadwood. the system means you can't fire them. >>gretchen: there is sort of this i am plead so -- this implied tenure so to speak that once you pass that probationary period, you're safe? >> that's exactly right. it's not that you can't be fired but there's so much paper work and effort that have to go into it, most managers aren't willing to do it. one example, a post office employee was in a bar and attempted to shoot a bouncer with a 12 gauge shotgun and got charged with first degree attempted murder but it took five years for the post office to process the paper work to get him fired. if attempted murder can't get you fired -- it takes five years, rather, to get

fired, you've got a problem. >>gretchen: a lot has been made over the last couple of years with the recession and high unemployment rate in the private sector compared to what seemed to be a good place to work, which was for the government. let's take a look. the private sector had an unemployment rate 8.1%. government workers only 3.8%. does that factor into this? >> again, it's part of the problem. the government hasn't been making cutbacks in the recession not at the federal level. the government doesn't remove workers for poor performance. the people this most offends is the diligent federal employees who have to work with the slackers, who have colleagues playing solitaire all day and have to pick up the deadwood. they resent the fact they're working hard, their colleagues aren't and they get treated exactly the same. >>gretchen: one of the solutions you would propose is to try to increase this time period of the probationary time. in other words, extend it, i guess, more than a year; right? >> exactly. it can take more than a year for someone who is a low performer to reveal they are not a good fit for

the job because everyone is on their very best behavior in this probearingsary year -- probearingsary year. to extend that for three years so managers can tell who is a good fit, and who isn't and remove the deadwood. >>gretchen: what about purchasing the tenure? >> job security is a tremendously valuable benefit that almost no private-sector companies provide. why give it away for free? why not charge federal employees 10%, 15% of the salary if they want to purchase this freedom from your performance evaluations basically at the end of the probationary period. hard workers aren't going to pay for it because they know they're not going to get fired, not at risk of being laid off for poor performance. you selectively cut salaries of poor performers without hurting the hard workers who deserve good pay. >>gretchen: very interesting day, james shirk, labor scholar at the heritage foundation, knows what he's talking about. thanks for getting up early. here's what not to do when you claim you're too sick to work.

the administrator. i don't want to dis her, but one media outlet said her job was being a glorified secretary. i'm not here to dis what she does and her responsibility. but what i am saying is she's the highest-paid county administrator in california, and i think anyone can see this is beyond the pale. >>gretchen: how did it get to this? do they vote themselves into these kinds of surpluses? >> this is where you get the beef. they negotiate amongst themselves for these kinds of salaries. the public has no say in it. we're at this little movement where the public should have more say in what corporate c.e.o.'s make, certainly we should have more say into what the administrators of our counties make. i don't think one person in alameda county would have thought this was a fair deal. >>brian: charles payne, we'll see how this goes because it can't sustain itself. you're a fox business contributor filling in for varney and company which begins at 9:00 a.m. today. are you wearing the same outfit? >> if i have time to change, i'll probably change. >>gretchen: don't pull a

kim. sorry, kids, you can have the bunny and even the eggs, but you better leave the word "easter" out of it. >> we just try to make sure had a we don't say "the easter bunny" so we don't infringe on the rights of others because people relate the easter bunny to religion. >>gretchen: come on. that woman is the principal. the p.c. police are on their way. can't even call it what it is anymore. >>brian: guess who's on her way? anna kooiman is getting her motors running this morning. >> america, you're getting your first live look at the 2014 corvette sting ray, an amazing piece of machinery. one of the many cars, trucks and concepts debuting at the new york auto show. an exquisite look at what an exquisite look at what the cars are coming up. i'm over the hill. my body doesn't work the way it used to. past mprime?

>> morning glory, how are you feeling on this wednesday morning? i'm anna kooiman. you are watching "fox & friends." a lot of folks get excited about the new york auto show, the oldest one in the country, 113 years old. on friday it's going to be kicking off to the public but we have an amazing sneak preview. one of the cars we'll see is this 2014 corvette. it is a convertible. there on the hood and also the roof that's retracted, it's carbon fiber, 450 horsepower and going to be going for what a typical corvette goes for, between $60,000 and $70,000. to get a look at the new york auto show behind the scenes, we'll be joined by

the car czar doug browner. good morning to you, doug. >> good morning. i'm a little jealous you're hanging outs with the corvette. i'm with a ford which is equally as cool. >> yeah, if only this was a little bit warmer outside, we'd be enjoying the top being down. tell us about that ford. >> i will absolutely. it is one of the hottest car here inside the javits center this morning, the all-new ford fusion energy. this is a hybrid. when you plug it in, it can go 21 miles using not one drop of fuel. that's longer than the average american commute. if you want to run it on the gas engine, you can go about 620 miles between fill ups, 47m.p.g.'s. the fusion distinguishing itself here as a must-see. we're seeing a lot of people checking it out. >> tell us about the hyundai equus.

>> i love this car. this is not a mercedes, not a bmw, it is a hyundai. everyone freaks out because it is so good-looking. it is the flagship for hyundai. it will be available in show rooms. this is a premium buying experience for hyundai. they will bring the car to your home for you to test drive. look for it in show rooms this fall. you want to take a jeep for a road off road? jeep says the cherokee is for you. completely redesigned. it is replacing the jeep liberty. nine-speed automatic transmission which means this s.u.v. gets 31 miles to the gallon. that's amazing. this will also go on sale this fall. take a look at a volvo. this is the s-60-r where luxury and safety meet performance. volvo says they can build a car that provides volvo tradition but with a lot of performance. zero to 60 in around 5 seconds. 10% of volvos may have this

r package. that will be cool for them. take a look at this acura, the new m.d.x. they redid this. i drove it last week and love it. a 22% increase in fuel mileage with their v-6. one push of that button and that seat goes up hrebgtically to get you into the third row. they used to have 42 seats. they reduced those to 9 to reduce driver distraction. a lot of people are going to love the new acura m.d.x. 1,000 on the floor inside the auto show. >> thanks so much. my mom has had twaof those those -- two of those m.d.x.'s and loves them. the auto show will be going on at the javits center until april 2. you'll see these cars across the country. have you noticed the direction these people parked the car. i think they wised up after i saw the easter peep

mobile. >>steve: you're headed the wrong way, headed west on 48th street which does only go east. >> all right. >>gretchen: be careful, anna. cool cars. >>brian: we've had two m.d.x.'s now. >>steve: you have something in common with anna's mom. she's had a couple of them. >>brian: that's it, who by the way, we met at the d.n.c. >>steve: we did in charlotte. just when you thought the "today" show couldn't get any colder, wait until you hear what nbc did to ann curry when she tried to reach out to a very sick robin roberts. >>gretchen: bernie madoff breaking his silence and blowing the lid off the banks? a fox news exclusive from the jail cell. >>brian: i believe it's not what you think.

it's a phoenix with 4 wheels. it's a hawk with night vision goggles. it's marching to the beat of a different drum. and where beauty meets brains. it's big ideas with smaller footprints. and knowing there's always more in the world to see. it's the all-new lincoln mkz. by the armful? by the barrelful? e carful? how about...by the bowlful? campbell's soups give you nutrition, energy,

and can help you keep a healthy weight. campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. >> gretchen: good morning, everybody. it's wednesday, march 27, 2013. i'm gretchen carlson thanks for sharing part of your day with us. the president moving ahead with his reform plan. you would think he would include the reform agency. and now ice wants to know why. >> brian: then bernie speaks. yes. madoff, the banks knew all about his scheme. an exclusive from his jail cell. >> steve: they were in cahoots. >> brian: i don't know what that means. >> steve: this weekend, you can have the bunny, and even the egg, just not the easter p the e just try to make sure that we don't say the easter bunny so we don't infringe on the rights of

others because people relate the easter bunny to religion. >> steve: okay. somebody call the pc police. "fox & friends" hour two for wednesday starts right now. >> steve: we love the bunny. >> brian: i thought so. i always thought until now that you could say easter bunny without freer of reprisal. >> gretchen: my kids didn't have homework monday night because passover, even though the majority of the kids probably celebrate -- >> brian: that's not right. >> gretchen: i'm just saying. so if you're going to observe one particular holiday, which is wonderful, then why would you exclude one that the majority of the people will be celebrating? >> brian: my kids celebrated rebellion day and i was against that. then realized i had to be more tolerant. >> gretchen: or rebelling against you. >> steve: we'll tell you what's happening at the school in

alabama in a couple minutes. right now gretchen has headlines. >> gretchen: overnight learned a woman in her 60s was found dead on a cruise ship. the husband found her body inside the cabin. the ship was on its way back to baltimore from a seven-day cruise. an autopsy is being done and the agents are interviewing the woman. oscar pistorius' brother accuse of driving recklessly and killing a woman in 2008. blood tests proved he was not under the influence and the death was a tragic accident. tomorrow pistorius' lawyers will fight over his bail. six months after the attack in benghazi, a move in the right direction. the marines announcing a new plan to put special ops on navy ships in the middle east. this way our military could respond quick tore future emergencies. the obama administration criticized for how long it took to respond to the benghazi attack that left four americans dead.

she tried to wish robin roberts well, apparently. but was allegedly banned. a new report says nbc stapped ann curry from tweeting her even after they booted her from the today show. robin was diagnosed with a blood disease at the time. the report claims executives thought curry was trying to aid the enemy. nbc says the incident is being blown out of proportion. those are your headlines. >> steve: that refers to an item that came out that paint add very unfavorable picture about what is happening over at what was once upon a time america's news leader in the morning for decades and decades. >> brian: right. so ann curry just wanted to say get well. the whole world was saying get well and feel better. that became public. i'm wondering who keeps fueling this monster of a story with behind the scenes drama. >> steve: could be executives. could be disgruntled employees.

>> brian: they have those at nbc? >> steve: as a former employee of nbc, i met a couple. >> gretchen: let's talk about immigration reform. the president is moving ahead and going to go on the road to talk about his plan for reform. there could be something miss not guilty that because he seems to be ignoring the concerns of the immigration department that might have something to say about it. apparently there was a letter written about six weeks ago from the national ice council, from the president, chris crane. it said we are concerned to see president obama is urging congress to rush immigration legislation when he has still not acknowledged or replied to our letter if six weeks ago asking ice officers be allowed to meet with him to discuss ice policy. >> brian: therein lies the problem because if republicans are going to get on board with immigration reform, they have to have border security. they have to reinforce it to stop the bleeding and end illegal entry. so if the president is not going to pay attention to ice agent, therefore he's showing he has

very little interest in sealing off the border that, could blow up the whole deal. >> steve: absolutely. what this guy, who is the chief representing the ice agents want, is he just -- he's asked six weeks ago issues mr. president, invite me to the table. and hasn't heard from the white house. also he's written a letter to the bipartisan gang of eight. they also are working on a plan to fix immigration. they haven't invited him either. the gang of eight, at least four, will be at the border today. john mccain, along with couple of democrats, along the arizona-mexican border. also in immigration n the president will sit down with univision and el telemundo. >> gretchen: remember the last time he sat down with telemundo and he got some of the toughest questions on immigration. wasn't he challenged by the two hosts who said, you said this was going to be part of your

first duties when you initially became president and nothing had happened. it will be interesting to see thousand goes now. >> brian: i don't know why the president is factoring himself in. the lawmakers are getting along, working this out. if his tone is too to the left or right, it could blow up. let's see what emerges. >> steve: something else could be the unions because the unions want a cap on the number of guest workers. they want to keep it low. they want to give them a high minimum wage and so if the number is too high, they'll say, we can't go along with that. you got to kill it. we'll keep you posted. >> gretchen: let's talk about this easter story that we started off six minutes ago at the top of the hour. p, c police, back out in force. the school in alabama, elementary school heritage elementary school, the principal there has said that they're going to still have the eggs and they're still going to have the bunny, but that they just can't

say the word, easter, anymore. here was the quote. we had in the past a parent question us about some of the things we do here at the school, so we're just trying to make sure that we respect and honor everybody's differences. >> steve: right. so rather than easter egg hunt, they said let's just not call it easter. let's call it the academic egg hunt. and that was out there. and then that hit the fan and they decided to cancel that. >> brian: at first i was skeptical until i heard the principal talk. let's see. >> kids love the bunny and we just try to make sure we don't say the easter bunny so we don't infringe on the rights of others because people relate the easter bunny to religion. >> brian: how old is that reporter? nine? the bunny. here is the thing, of course, since when is any kid ever been insulted? >> steve: at that school they don't want you to say easter, which would make it interesting. how in geography class are they

going to describe that island in the south pacific? >> brian: good point. >> gretchen: i always love to know who complains about this because if you're talking about passover this week and easter, i think those are the only two religious holidays this week. correct me if i am wrong. so if you include both of them, what's the big deal? i guess if you believe in nothing, then you would be one that might criticize, saying either of those two words. but then can't you just leave the option out there for people if they believe in nothing to just, okay, you believe in nothing. i don't understand when people get their undies twisted. >> steve: one teacher had children from six different religions in her class. the principal didn't want to offend anyone. the school is called heritage. heardage, as in inherited something, like religion, stuff like that. part of our heritage, you really can't talk about, unfortunately, at that school. >> brian: now we understand.

bernie madoff speaking out from behind bars claiming the banks knew what he was up to all along. >> steve: he spoke exclusively to fox news' network adam shapiro who joins with us details. >> good morning to you. madoff is sending us an e-mail in which he says, i'm just going to read it. it's really short and quite specific. he says from my first interview with the media, i said the banks must have known and were complicit and contribute to do my crime. although i've offered the bankruptcy court trustee the information that i possess that would demonstrate in detail their complicit behavior of banks like, jp morgan chase, bank of new york mellon. city corp., and others, the trust yeah seems unwilling to act on my offer, therefore, i am offering this information to the appropriate governmental committees in the hope that this information will prove helpful in future regulation of the appropriate institutions. got to point out that the trustee actually issued a

statement and said that the trustee's position is that as the perpetrator of the largest ponzi scheme in history, madoff's credibility is highly suspect and has no substantive value. what bernie is saying is he will meet with anyone in congress who is investigating bank fraud and he'll show them he says where the bodies are buried. >> brian: you shocked to get that e-mail? >> we get a lot of e-mails from bernie. we don't report all of them. sometimes he's grabbing for attention. he knows something. he won't give the names. we've asked what are the details. that's where he stops short. he wants some attention. he wants to testify before congress. >> steve: why do you think he's narcing now? >> he's been screaming about the banks on all kinds of issues. partially lot of people don't pay attention to him. he's locked away fort rest of his life and he wants attention. but he also says if you believe him, that he feels guilty and he has this overwhelming sense of shame for what he's done and wants to set the record right.

>> brian: he didn't express that immediately after arrest. i guess he's changing now. >> steve: thank you very much with an exclusive on bernie madoff. he's sorry and the banks knew. great. >> gretchen: we'll see how that pans out. meanwhile, he's convinced syria has chemical weapons and could spell disaster. what should we be doing about it? mike rogers is here next. >> steve: then think you're a good driver? you got nothing on this guy. the most impresssive parking job you'll ever see. is that possible? yes! oh, man the kyocera torque lets you hear and be heard

they've been used and there is mounting evidence to prove it. congressman mike rogers joins us now. chairman, you think you know what the swedish scientist will find, don't you? >> well, they're investigating a specific event. when you look at the body of information and evidence over the last two years through intelligence reports, it's very clear, to me, and a high probability that a small quantity of chemical weapons has been used and they put the weapons in a position to be used and expressed intent to be used. all of that is really concerning and quite destabilizing to the region. >> brian: we already said a red line, if they're used, we have to act. what does that mean? what should it mean? >> well, the u.s. has special capabilityies. no one should think this means troops on the ground, none of that needs to happen. we need to use small groups with special capabilities and we do have the ability to render the

use of those weapons improbable moving forward. my argument is listen, if we know they have it and that is undisputed by the international community, including syria, we believe they have this intention to use, we think they've used a small quantity within the last two years, shouldn't we use what capabilities we have to make sure that they don't compound the 70,000 deaths with a chemical weapon exchange here that would be a humanitarian disaster? the refugee problem is already destabilizing our allies in the middle east. this thing is growing more complicated and more dangerous to our national security interests and indecision is as dangerous as getting this thing wrong and we need to move forward in a smart and small way so that it's not a big and ugly way later. >> brian: well, there is a few things going on here. number one, where is the world outrage about this? if it's there, it's being

whispered rather than shouted and can we combine with somebody in order to not be embroiled in another middle east war? >> well, we don't want to be embroiled. but here is the problem, there is two sets of problems. they have a huge stockpile of chemical weapons and a huge stockpile of sophisticated conventional weapons. if we learned nothing from libya is you can't just topple the regime and hope for the best. that doesn't work. so if you want a diplomatic solution so there isn't mass kay y you have to have the credibility with the opposition and arab league and we have neither right now. so the opposition didn't even want to meet with our secretary of state, they're so frustrated, and the arab league said hey what, are you doing? we need your leadership at the table. they don't need our military. they just need some of our special capabilities in a very small and limited way. >> brian: talking about training possibly the rebels, who got a safety at the arab league. not the assad government. fascinating. let's move to a report that the

a.p. and jennifer griffin wrote yesterday that in jordan, we are training selected rebels to fight this fight against the assad government. what can you tell us about this? >> i can't comment on any operations that may be or may not be happening in jordan. but win thing we know is that the rebels that we need to be working with don't want to leave the country for any type of training. so that's why many of us in a bipartisan way, by the way, in both the senate and house, have called for a safe area in the north where they can be trained in syria and that would be led by the arab league and with the united states assistance in doing that. so you could train them, equip them, and give them intelligence packages so they could be much more impactful. >> brian: sadly, an outshoot of al-qaeda is winning respect from among the syrian rebels because they filled a vacuum, the u.s. specifically, did not fill over the last two years.

they are in position to get power should assad go. correct? >> that is absolutely correct. what's concerning to our allies, israel and others, is that it's not just in the hundreds anymore, these al-qaeda fighters. it's in the thousands. they've attached themselves to these secular units and they are the only ones that show up equipped, trained, and really committed to the fight. so these commanders have been more reliant on these al-qaeda front members and that's really dangerous stuff, knowing that when assad falls, there is going to be some chaos. think of all of those dangerous weapons that could proliferate cross the middle east, southern europe, that's why there are so many people, in a bipartisan way in congress, saying hey, we don't need to be there in a big way, but we need to be there in a smart way so we don't have the same problem we had in libya which all of those guns caused trouble in mali and other places. >> brian: which is why you spent quality time with us to explain our option. thanks so much.

>> thanks, brian. >> brian: what do you think we should do? twitter us. debt collectors calling? are they legit or just trying to grab your cash? dave ramsey with what you need to know next. then, it just keeps getting worse. the new details of al gore's deal with al-jazeera next ♪ [ construction sounds ] ♪ [ watch ticking ] [ engine revs ] come in. ♪ got the coffee. that was fast. we're outta here. ♪ [ engine revs ] ♪

his student's life. for some reason, his student didn't try to pull the rip cord while going down. investigators not ruling out he may have passed out during the dive. and no i.d.? no vote. starting next year voters in virginia will have to show photo i.d republicans say this will help fight voter fraud. democrats believe it discriminates and tamps down the vote. gretch? >> gretchen: thanks very much. talk about debt drama. imagine getting a phone call from a credit collector demanding payment for money you don't even owe. it's happening across the country. last year the ftc received 200,000 complaints about debt collection calls. how to deal with credit collectors joining us is dave ramsey. good morning to you, dave. >> good morning, gretchen. how are you? >> gretchen: doing great. i understand some of these calls are happening down south. people need to know their

rights. correct? >> well, absolutely. these calls are happening all over the u.s. and as you said, the federal trade commission, it's a huge deal, the number one thing they are getting complaints from right now. the first thing you need to do is really need to know your rights. the federal fair debt collection practices act, this federal law, protects the consumer against an abusive collector out of control. a good place to go if you've been abused is collectionbully.com. >> gretchen: all right. because many of these case, people don't even owe any money. they get these calls and under threat of arrest, they feel like i better give my payment information and they're paying out money to people who are just running away with it. so one of your other points is communicate, but don't be abused. >> well, exactly. if you owe money and you know you owe money, it's good to communicate with the collector even if they're being out of control. but don't let them cuss at you or threaten to take your child's

pets. don't let them threaten criminal action. don't let them call you in the middle of the night, call you 22 times at work and cuss at you. you really have to put it in place here. i'm going to communicate, but i'm not going to be abused. >> gretchen: what about all deals in writing? >> once you're going to settle a debt that you do actually owe, be sure you get it in writing 'cause the problem is with credit card collectors is they lie. and they'll promise that you they did a deal for $300 to sell the debt, then take all the money out of your account, which leads us to the last point and that is never allow a collector, electronic access to your checking account. they'll clean you out. >> gretchen: good advice. also never give -- i was reading some of the information that some of the calls, they ask for your social security number, which you should never give out over the phone or on-line. right? >> absolutely. that could very well be a scam. it's okay to give them the last four digits in case it's a legitimate collector and they've called the wrong person with the right name. that can get them out of your

life. don't give your whole social security number. >> gretchen: let's get an e-mail to help a viewer. jason said, i'm getting collection calls for an outstanding medical bill, but it's not mine. they wanted my social security number to prove it, but i didn't give it to them. do you think i've been the victim of identity fraud? what do you think? >> no, i don't think so in this case. i think what you're getting is you just got somebody that is one of these debt buyers. they bought a very old debt and they're calling everybody in the united states that has your name trying to find the guy. and so again, i would give them the last four digits of your social and see if you can get rid of them. if that doesn't work, go to the federal trade commission web site and file a complaint. >> gretchen: always great advice. good to see you. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up next, even the irs admits this star trek spoof wasn't a good use of taxpayer money. now captain kirk himself is weighing in. then it's a love story that you never heard a. dog walks ten miles to find the puppy love of his life. the story coming up next get ga

harder than parallel parking! >> brian: interesting. >> gretchen: how often in life do you back up like this? >> steve: you got to be ready. >> gretchen: you know how i practiced? i put out garbage bags with my husband and there was garbage strewn everywhere. >> brian: you were married and not able to drive? >> gretchen: i let my driver's license expire in minnesota because i lived so many places and i didn't realize in ohio, you had to retake the test. >> brian: remember the great moment for your gend whenever marsha beat greg in the driver's test. that was great moment for women. >> gretchen: did she parallel park? >> brian: greg knocked over the egg. he panicked. >> gretchen: i swear i knocked over the cones and they still passed me. if the tester is out there somewhere, let me know. >> brian: as steve says, it pays to be hot. >> steve: warm. >> gretchen: thank you. >> steve: meanwhile w he got some headlines. hot headlines.

what what happened to the old thumb tack on the chair? two 13-year-old students charged with poisoning their middle school teacher in virginia. they're accused of putting hand sanitizer in their teacher's drink over three months in a row. >> you hear stuff like that on television. you don't hear 13-year-old kids taking it upon themselves to do something so horrific to another person. >> brian: why were they wearing superman outfits? >> steve: the boys were suspended and moved to a new school. the teacher suffered pains but is okay. don't try that, kids. it's dumb and dangerous. >> gretchen: the plan to have exhausted doctors work shorter shifts. a new report is showing that plan could backfire and it could put you, the patient, at risk. the research shows the shorter shifts means doctors hand off critical information about you to the next team more often. it used to be your medical information was passed off three

times during your hospital stay. now your information is handed off as many as nine times and that means there could be more mistakes, more missed diagnoses. >> brian: you read that so much better than i do. even the irs admits spending money on a irs spoof wasn't a good use of money. >> they're exchanging it for paper bills. >> oh, man. >> that's right, sir. pennies on the dollar. [ laughter ] the irs wasted 60,000 taxpayer dollars on this video showing a training conference in 2010. now captain kirk himself is weighing in on the mess. william shatner tweeted, so i watched that irs video. i am appalled at the utter waste of u.s. taxpayer dollars. scotty. >> gretchen: it just keeps getting worse for al gore's deal with al-jazeera. current tv employees have been waiting for a meeting or sign from the new owners about the channel's direction and according to a report, just last week they were told they had to reinterview for their jobs.

>> steve: oh, man. nobody knows. what's going on in sports, mr. kill need? >> brian: you also had to hear about some of the reinterview tactics and questions. it shows they have no idea what it's going to take to be here in american television. but who cares? straight ahead, after become the first 15th seed to win, they are rewarding their coach with loot. they don't have enough money to give him a raise, but they want to double his salary. the school hopes to convince him to stay despite other job offers. he's sure to get and probably gotten already. and if you ever wondered how a basketball court is made, take a look at this. time lapsed video of the final court being put together. it took a year to make and will arrive in atlanta on friday. it will serve as the official court of the final three games in the ncaa tournament. that's cool. the match may have ended in a tie. but it's a moral victory fort u.s. team in mexico playing high in elevation.

mexico could not score. nonpenalty kicks were scored. in the end, it would be 0-0 tie and the ref needed a security team to get off the field without being hit. so meanwhile, costa rica is appealing this. 1-0 the u.s. won. costa rica says are you kidding me? you should have canceled the game. they said no, we shouldn't have. it's just snow. >> steve: it could be dangerous. maria molina is outside surveying the weather coast to coast. here no new york, it's dry burks we need some warmth. >> yes, we do. it looks like we could finally got some coming up in the next few days across parts of the northeast. for now, we're going to see on the chilly side where parts of the south woke up to temperatures that are below freezing. right now so very cold out parts

of georgia, parts of alabama and mississippi. temperatures as much as 20 degrees below what's normal this time of year and feels like 22 right now in the city of atlanta. so you really got to bundle up. it feels like 18 degrees in the city of minneapolis. minneapolis much more used to it than atlanta. freeze warnings in texas, parts of oklahoma, into the carolinas. even parts of southwest florida, waking up to frost advisories. those morning lows will be warming up as we head into the next several days across the city of atlanta, the mornings in the 50s. gradual warming trend is expected. otherwise looking like weather conditions are relatively quiet in terms of snow or rain across the country. just a few showers off of the great lakes. >> steve: a lot of people are traveling this week, so that is good news. thank you very much. meanwhile, a nice family, plenty of food and a warm home weren't enough to keep a rescued stray dog named ben from trekking ten miles in the middle of winter back to the shelter where the love of ben's life was still

caged. joining us is a couple who rescued ben and eventually ben's mate, jade, as well. they join us live via skype from indiana. courtney, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: introduce us to the dogs. which is ben and which is jade? >> this big guy is ben and this is jade right here. >> steve: okay. so now that we've met the dogs, you wanted dog for christmas. you went to a shelter there in indiana. you looked at both of them and you liked ben better, so you took ben home. things were fine until a couple of days ago -- what happened when it was time to take out garbage? >> he saw his chance and he shot out the door. >> steve: he saw daylight and he ran out the door. so your husband, jason, then followed him and what happened? >> he ran down the block after

him, called out his name and ben turned around, looked at him kind of like, okay. whatever, and he shot out and kept going. >> steve: oh, man. you did not -- he could not find him. you could not find him. you put out word on the internet and whatnot. then what happened after he had been gone for a long time? >> i think it was about two years later. a volunteer contacted me on facebook and said that ben had made his way to the shelter within a day and they were still trying to catch him. >> steve: now, that is an amazing story. the reason it's amazing is you chose ben, but ben and jade had a dog relationship back at the shelter for a very long time. they had been practically related and when you broke them up, it sounds like he was heart broken. >> yeah. they're both strays.

we couldn't tell that he wasn't happy without her. we didn't realize how strong their bond was. >> steve: no kidding. so somehow, ben was able to, you know -- dogs don't have mapquest. do you have any explanation how that dog found the shelter ten miles away? >> like he is that smart. when we brought him home the first time, i think he just somehow paid attention. >> steve: and when ben got to the shelter, saw jade, what did the shelter people tell you he did to her? >> he went up to the fence and he licked her through the fence. >> steve: like lady and the tramp with no spaghetti. >> yeah. >> steve: there is a happy ending to the story and that is you've decided to go ahead and try to adopt both the dogs so they can be together forever, which is a lovely story. courtney, we thank you very much for joining us today live from

>> brian: they're america's wordor border patrol agents wearing uniforms made in mexico? the company is based in the u.s., but uses manufacturing sites in mexico. shouldn't that stuff be made here? wouldn't you think so? the vice president for sales for all usa clothing joins us now this morning. does this bother you? >> absolutely this bothers us. all usa clothing is a company -- we've been in business since 1970 making american made clothing and uniforms across the

country. this is a job that we certainly could have done. >> brian: now, people say, well, we keep manufacturing here if it was affordable. people don't want to pay a lot of money for it. government looking to save. go to mexico, make them cheaper, then bring them back, helps everyone. what's your response? >> this is something we hear all the time. although it does cost a little more to manufacture in the united states, in a way you can save money as well. you look at shipping charges. when you talk about a slow boat from china, it really is a slo boat. you have much more control here in america. you have your finger on the pulse of the manufacturers and you can work on the distribution and ultimately the customer is happier and they get a quality product here in america while keeping families working here. >> brian: i also think one thing for security respect, if you're making border patrol uniforms in mexico, isn't there a fear that they're going to get in the wrong hands? >> you know, this is something that was discussed five years ago and the same argument was raised.

it's a legitimate argument. you're on the border there, you're risking your life every day, these american workers. they got to put a uniform on that says made in mexico, while they're walking the mexican border. they're fighting for our country and to be honest, they deserve better than that from us. >> brian: right. do you believe -- were you in on the bidding process? >> we were not. we were not in on the bidding process and this contract was not going to go to an american made manufacturer. they had this contract from a company and they put it to mexico. >> brian: kerry, thanks so much. usa clothing, made in the u.s., wouldn't that be aeneas scenario? it's not with the border patrol. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. >> brian: coming up straight ahead, general david petraeus makes his first public speech since his affair. the hint he dropped about his future at the top of the hour. then say a little prayer for her. deion warwick in serious trouble

"fox & friends" starts now.

>> steve: that picture was of john king. that's larry king's son? >> brian: yes, it is. he had his own show for a while. i guess he was giving a speech and he said something, you got to make sure -- we got to -- >> gretchen: our answers in case we do more mensa quizzes. >> steve: mensa light? >> gretchen: isn't john king still an employee there? >> steve: wait 'til you marry what he said, i believe -- hear what he said yesterday. it's got people scratching. >> gretchen: let's start in the meantime with your headlines. overnight we learned a woman in her 60s was found dead on a cruise ship and the f.b.i. is calling it suspicious. her husband found her body inside their cabin. the royal caribbean ship was on its way back to baltimore from a 78-day cruise to the bahamas. an autopsy is being done and agents are interviewing the woman's husband. new video now of oscar

pistorius' brother. he's going to court for murder charges. he's accused of driving recklessly and killing a woman in 2008. his lawyers say that blood tests prove he was not under the influence and the death was just a tragic accident. tomorrow oscar pistorius' lawyer will be in court because they're apparently going to be fighting over his bail. six months after the deadly attack in benghazi, a move in the right direction now. the marines announcing a new plan to put special ops on navy ships in the middle east. this way our military could respond quicker to future emergencies. the obama administration criticized for how long it took to respond to the benghazi attack that left four americans dead. cnn anchor john king says you don't need to watch the network he works for anymore. >> if you watch cnn, 9:00 o'clock in the morning, 10:00 o'clock in the morning, 11, 12:00 o'clock, it's a single anchor sitting in a chair action reading headlines that none of you have to turn on the tv to

get. >> gretchen: oops. king, whose show was axed last june speaking to an audience at the john f. kennedy presidential library. maybe he was talking about the changes that they need to make. i don't know. i don't know what the full context is. >> steve: he was pretty clear. you don't need to watch. nothing is going on. it's all the same. >> gretchen: all right. >> steve: so jeb zucker has his work cut out for him. >> gretchen: general david petraeus had a first public speech last night since he had the affair in his life that was exposed and led to his resignation from the leader of the c.i.a. last night he started off the speech immediately taking on that controversy. >> i join you keenly aware that i am regarded in a different light now than i was a year ago. i'm also keenly aware that the reason for my recent journey was my own doing. perhaps my experience can be instructive to others who

stumble or indeed fall as far as i did. one learns after all that life doesn't stop with such a mistake. it can and must go on. i know that i can never fully assuage the pain that i inflicted on those closest to me and on a number of others. i can, however, try to move forward in a manner that is consistent to the values with which -- to which i subscribe before slipping my moorings and as best possible to make amends to those i have hurt and let down and that is what i will strive to do. >> brian: a lot of people he did not let down and authoring the surge, his great contribution to two separate wars, his great work at the c.i.a., and not only that, that should be the last time he has to apologize. i don't even think today do that. he has a huge role and hopefully he's going to be active over the next 20 years. >> steve: he feels sorry for what happened that led to a lot of public and private humiliation. also he was there at the rotc

event for usc, an annual dinner in downtown los angeles. most of the comments this had to do with taking care of the vets and active service personnel. >> brian: that's what he'll be doing. >> steve: if you want to hear his idea g to "wall street journal." he wrote an op ed that says, train vied rans for their next mission. it's not a job. it's a career. they need help and he wants to help. >> brian: that's the time in which veterans are most susceptible, when they come back and say, what do i do next? when the doors aren't openinged immediately, that's when they start in many cases getting depressed and it could lead to suicide. >> steve: not just a job. a career. something that they can do for the rest of their life. >> brian: 'cause they're used to having structure. >> gretchen: and highly disciplined people. let's go to colorado now where some sheriffs say that because they don't -- are not in favor of the new gun regulations that are up for debate in that state, they say it's affecting their salaries. could than the case? could lawmakers be holding up the pay raise for some of these

sheriffs over their pro-gun stance? well, that's what they're claiming. they're saying here, quote, senate dems made it known sheriffs obey or no pay four. the first word that comes to mind is extortion. or could it be because of the economic situation that the country is in that nobody is going to be getting a pay raise right now? >> steve: that economic -- the extortion comment came from a sheriff of el paso county, terry mckatya. what he says is these new laws going through the colorado state legislature, you know, he would be obligated to enforce them, but he says he would ignore them with, for instance, if they come up with a ban on high capacity magazines. he's going to ignore them. also he feels a number of them may be unconstitutional. he's made that clear. in the meantime, the democrats in the senate are saying, we're going to go slow on that whole pay raise for you guys. the dems say it's unrelatessed to the sheriff's stance and he's not the only one who feels that way. >> brian: i have been advised by a reliable source that the dems

are seriously not pleased with the sheriff's position on gun bills. this would put us in more favorable light for a salary bill support for the dems if it would pass. >> steve: meanwhile, let's tell you about this story. remember when a couple of states, including colorado. colorado and washington state, they passed laws where it would be legal to smoke marijuana on a recreational level. you want to have fun? smoke pot? go ahead. you want to get potted up? it's absolutely legal in those states. the president of the united states was asked about that because remember, federal law says that's breaking the law. so what happens if you got a state law and a federal law that don't jive? here is what the president said in december. >> it does not make sense from a priorization point of view to focus on drug use increase a state that has already said that under state law, that's legal. >> gretchen: so the relationship

here is how does that relate then to the gun laws because if there are different laws on the books, in the states now, that differ with the federal laws, will the federal government then step in and take action with these states or will they not take action like he described with regard to legalization of marijuana? >> brian: so they go yeah, we're stepping in if they don't go along with federal law. this guy in louisiana sponsored a bill that prohibits possession of semiautomatic firearms. let's say if anything gets passed. in oklahoma, they did something similar. the house public safety committee there passed a law that would prohibit enforcement of federal gun laws. in that case, they're like, we're going to make them comply. when it comes to pot, keep your bongs. >> steve: exactly. so in a number of state legislature, given the fact they're worried that washington, d.c. will come up with more restrictive gun controls, they're trying to come up with new laws on the books in ohio,

kentucky, idaho, louisiana, oklahoma, texas, kansas, arizona, michigan and washington state. jay carney was asked about this and he said, we think the people ought to follow the law. but if they are going to follow the law, that would mean they would have to arrest pot smokers in washington and colorado, which the president says we've got bigger fish to fry. >> brian: 9 minutes after the hour. you decide you want to eat at the scheckest restaurant and say, party of six, doocy. make sure it's ready. then doocy does not show up at the sleek restaurant named? >> gretchen: the red medicine. >> brian: pretend like you don't know. you don't show up. and now you're going to be shamed! >> steve: i feel bad for those people at red medicine because we're early birds. we eat early. >> gretchen: anyway, what the restaurant is doing is they're tweeting out the names of the people who decide not to show up in order to try to shame them,

apparently. so here are some of the tweets. all the nice guests who wonder why restaurants overbook and sometimes have to wait for their reservations should thank people like those below and named the people below. >> steve: clyde said, i hope you enjoyed your gf's girlfriend and the flowers you didn't bring when you no showed for your 8:15 refs. thanks! >> brian: also, six names here. big thanks for not showing up between 7:30 and 9:30. there is a lot of courage for red medicine to take people on of the however, if it's jack nicholson, don't you think they have a different issue there? if it's magic johnson that blows up, they would not be taking on big names like that. >> steve: probably not. >> gretchen: i don't know. but we talked earlier about how some restaurants require that you gave credit card number and then charge you a surcharge if you don't show up. that could be one way to rectify this problem without tweeting out the names. >> steve: yeah, but if i got called out on twitter by them, i'm never going to go back because the public humiliation. i get that it's money out of

their pockets, but how many times have you been to a restaurant where you show up at 7:00 o'clock and then you have to wait an hour because they booked everything up. >> gretchen: what they're saying is maybe it comes full circle. what they're saying is the reason they have to do that is because a lot of people book and they don't show up, so they overbook, kind of like airplanes, to make up so they don't is a lot of empty tables. it all comes down to personal responsibility. if you just make a reservation and if you would show up, then it wouldn't be a problem. >> steve: if i have a reservation for 7:00 o'clock and i show up and they go, you're going to have to wait, that's a problem with the restaurant. the other thing that's a problem with shaming people in public is what if they were in a car wreck? hey bill wilson, thanks for not showing up. then bill wilson is at mercy general hospital. >> brian: you happy now? just eat at home. eat at home. >> steve: save money. >> brian: do what we do. we go out dancing. >> gretchen: my favorite thing to do is go out to eat. i'm going to continue to go out

think lawmakers are make their case and he's here. >> we did it in phoenix as. i got two clips for you. i'll set it up. almost no politician is connecting right now. the american people are so angry and frustrated with washington that they think neither party is listening or answering their questions. i have two good clips. the first is marco rubio and notice the tone that he takes. it's one of the reasons why he is becoming one of the most popular politicians in america today. watch how well this does. >> none of this is possible if we don't address the reality that there are 11 million human beings in this country today that are undocumented. that's not something that anyone is happy about. that's not something anyone wanted to see happen. but it is what has happened. and we have an obligation and the need to address the reality of the situation that we face and address it in a way that is fair to the people that are doing it the right way and in essence, the hundreds of people that come to our office every year, whose relatives from all

around latin america and the world are waiting in line to legally come here. >> the focus is fairness. and then that's one of the attributes. they want the border protected. they want national security. they also want fairness. >> gretchen: the interesting thing i saw was that it appeared that the lines were going up for both republicans and democrats. >> correct. which doesn't happen anymore. we are more divided now than we have been since the 1960s. i've got a second clip for you from paul ryan. he also has this ability to transcend traditional partisan politics. let's look. >> you know what we know with certainty? we know with certainty that a debt crisis is coming to america. this is not a question of if. it's a question of when. what is a debt crisis? it means we can't keep living beyond our means. it means we can't keep borrowing from our children's future. this, we, our generation of american, we're being selfish.

we are taking from the next generation their future. we have a moral obligation to fix that. if we have a debt crisis, those who get hurt the first would be our seniors, the poor, the people living on the safety net! that's who gets hurt in a debt crisis! we have an obligation to do something about this. >> two key points, the obligation to get it done. number two, you have to treat people like human beings. it's not balancing the budget for the sake of balancing it or solving immigration to say it's solved. you're actually dealing with human beings who are suffering right now and those politicians that recognize and try to address that suffering, those are the ones that get scores like that. >> gretchen: that's very interesting to see that two republicans could resonate so well with the democratic lines, as well as the republican line.

>> understand that happens rarely. those are very rare clips. >> gretchen: thanks for bringing your rare clips to "fox & friends." have a good week. next up, you know him from "all my children." now cameron mathison is back in a new role. it made his wife cry. got to hear that one. first, let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning to you. new polling numbers that cannot make the white house happy. we'll diagnose that for you. a military is doing to counter a future attack on an overseas u.s. embassy. this is fascinating. and the spokeswoman for amanda knox with join us live today to tell us what knox's next move might be. also a deadly vile is missing from a critical american laboratory. where is it? the f.b.i. is involved and we'll see you on that in ten minutes on "america's newsroom" our landing time got moved back another hour.
