i'm john roberts in for shannon bream. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capitol starts now. south korean officials saying north korea may be planning another missile test. the news comes days after the reports that missile launchers have been placed on their east coast. tensions are riding high enough that the head of force u.s. fors in south korea has postponed a trip to the united states for a hearing. >> reporter: yes, tensions remain high here. the u.s. is making sure it doesn't make the situation worse. the pentagon has announced now that it's postponed a trial of a firing of a minuteman ballistic missile. a spokesman was concerned that the launch could be misinterpret bide pyongyang. north korea could view it as a victory for them, in their

propaganda to show that the u.s. is backing down. north korea keeps pumping out more vitriole on state tv, some of it is quite bizarre. this time, they showed troops using dogs to attack scarecrows with a photo of south koreans on it. the sold yours are shouting bite kin kwan gin and they were carrying signs that read, american bastards. it looks like north korea will conduct a controversial missile test. the south korean government says it believes the test could take place around april 10. their assessment is based on a warn beige north korea that officials should evacuate from pyongyang by that date. none of the countries that have diplomat there is have made a decision yet. the u.s. doesn't have an embass

nepyongyang. and they are warn they are planning an attack on the u.s. and the south. the united states doesn't believe that the north korea has the expertise, but south korea says it has monitored the movement of two intermediate-range missiles and it is believed they have a range of 1800 miles and could reach as far as guam that, north korea has threatened to attack. now, the obama administration's currently downplaying fears of war here, a white house spokesman said they believe they could conduct a test in the next few days. and they have a contingency plan. they are moving an anti-defense system to guam and have ships in the area, john, to knock it out of the scwie, if they do fire a missile that way. >> david piper from seoul, south korea. thanks. in a show of bipartisanship,

john mccain and chuck schumer appear in agreement on north korea. in an interview on "face the nation," both senatorred called on china to be more proactive with north korea. >> china does hold the key to this problem. chine academy cut off their economy if they want to. china's behavior has been very disappointing. >> i agree with john. you know, the chinese hold a lot of cards here. they are, by nature, cautious, but they are carrying it to an extreme. it's time they stepped up to the plate and put pressure on the regime. >> both men agreed an outbreak of violence would have serious ramifications for south korea. joining us, fox news national security analyst, k.t. mcfarland. we start with the defense second secretary, saying the u.s. is canceling a minute-man hearing in california this week. is that prudent or giving too much credible to north koreans?

>> at this point, i think it's prudent. i think the administration has handled itself pretty well in this crisis. they haven't backed down. they didn't cancelled u.s.-south korean military exercise. they did reinforce with aircraft and destroyers into the region. that was prudent thing to do. at this point, kim-- the young 29 -- 30-year-old leader of north korea, he has gotten himself so far on a limb, it is important for him to crawl back from the li. i think it's prudent foritous cancel the minuteman missile test. what i dong will happen this week, do i think the north koreans are gointo try to tests the missile. i think they are going to do it on the 100th birthday of the founder of the north korean state, the grandfather of the current leader. i think the question will be what do we do? shoot it down? see where it's going? that's when the escalation could happen. >> so what do we do?

shoot it down or see where it's going? >> i think we should see where it's going. if it's not going anywhere good, we for sure should shoot it down. but the point that both senators made-- the importance of going to china -- this could be the silver lining, that we could go to the chinese and they could come to us and say, look, nobody want this is to get out of hand. nobody want this is to go to a war. you, china, have been very content to let that be at a low boil. you let the north koreans taunt and test weapons and go for nuclear weapons. now, it all threatens to boil over. have you a vested interest because if it leads to war, the united states is on the chinese border. if it leads to economic chaos, have you thousands, millions of refugees. and if it looks like the sabres are rattling, you could see japan remilitarize and south

korea and north korea decide they need more weapons. >> those are points for secretary of state kerry when he meets with the leader, end of next week, i believe, he is going over there. >> yes. >> what about the chinese leaders? >> this is what you don't know. john, this is why this year, the annual north korean crisis that they do every year, it is absolutely reliable. cherry blossoms, daylight savings time, north korean military crisis. but this year, the problem is that it might be different because of what you just said. there are new leaders everywhere, in china, thought to be hawkish. there is a new leader in south korea. she has only been there a month. shy is hawkish. there is new leadership in japan, also hawkish. and the critical leader is the north korean leader, 29, 30 yierz old -- nobody's met him

except den i guess rodman. he shouldn't be allowed to may with matches and he has his hands on nuclear weapons. >> and they did this on the 4th of july, 2006. so with respect, it is not just limit to the spring. you did say, kim jung un has crawled so far on a limb, he has to crawl back. we talked to peter king from new york, yesterday, the congressman who said that this he think this is could tip over the edge. what about? you. >> that's the worry. i think he will try to test the missile and then the question will be, what is the escalation point? do we shoot it down? do the south koreans shoot it down? if we shoot it down, he has tho show his generals he just as tough as dad and gramps. maybe he think, maybe let's go shell a south korean island. i did it two years ago and nobody did anything. maybe we will sink a south korean ship, dithat two years ago and there was no response. will he miscalculate the

response hat other countries might have to the provocation he sees? >> always good to get your thoughts on things. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> thousands of protesters in cairo this weekend, renewing their calls for presidentmo muhammad morsi to step down, accusing him of trying to monopolize power. they threw molotov cocktails into the streets and the police countered with tear gas. this is the fifth anniversary of the april 6 youth movement that, played a significant role in the ousting of president hosni mubarak. for the first time since the benghazi consulate, a u.s. diplomat has been killed overseas. state department officials say 25-year-old anne smedinghoff was killed as they were delivering books to children. secretary of state john kerry got a little emotional when talking about her death earlier

today. >> i want to emphasize that anne was everything that is right about our foreign service. she was smart and capable, committed to our country. i had the privilege of meeting her just a few days ago when i was in afghanistan. she was part of my team. >> kerry went on to say that minghof put her life on the line so others could have a better life. he spoke to her family after the attack. >> we are looking for the caucus of common sense, folks who are willing to compromise and understand that in divide government, both sides are not going to get everything they want. if the republican wants to reach out, they should listen to americans itch today on fox news sunday, white house senior adviser defended the president's approach to balance the budget, a plan he will roll out on wednesday, two months after the february deadline for submitting a budget. chris wallace also had an exclusive interview with asa

hutchinson, the school safety task force and talked to chris about the interviews. ure talked to asa hutchinson, heading up the task force, looking at school security and the school shield study. he is advocating armed guards, the study's armed guards at every school. there is growing centiment for that type of thing to happen. what did you ask him about? >> well, we talked about that. yeah, there is. in fact, the obama administration does include a schooling security component in its legislation. he says it is not nearly enough to really keep kids safe. the problem and the question is, whether or not that's going to solve a lot of other problems because if you harden schools, that means that these nuts, these tormented people will go to a shopping center or a movie theater as they have in the past. he basically said, you can't solve all the problems at once. newtown was a school shooting. we need to make schools safe.

we need to do it incrementally. >> he wants to protect the students. but oppons will say, the last thing we need is more gun in will scuse. do they have a valid point? >> yes, to a certain degree. the teachers unions don't like the idea, even if it's not the teachers. hutchinson was at pains to say, it is not to arm teachers, it's to arm guards and staff and not the teachers, let them teach. but columbine, there was an armed guard, but that didn't stop the two students from coming in and killing 13 and wounding 23. so it's not a fail-safe answer. it is obviously better to have guards than not to have guards. >> you talk to one of the president's senior advisers, the president wanting to trade cuts and entitlements for more revenue raisers on the tax side. why does this administration

keep on insisting on raising taxes? >> because they say -- i am not -- i am eye will replay laying their argument, that they need a balanced approach and the balanced approach is entitlement cuts. it's a big deal that the president is for the first time putting this in writing. he has offered this to john boehner in the past. but it's never been formal. it will be in the budget released this week about $600 billion in entitlement cuts. but he also says, if you make seniors and the ill have to tighten their belts, you need to take something from the most advantaged. the fact is you need a lot of money to get this budget under control. >> chris, we are looking forward to the program. thanks for sitting down with us. >> you bet. >> you can watch both interviews right here, immediately following america's news headquarters. the fbi is in charge of the investigation into the death of a texas district attorney and his wife. the couple was found murdered in

their kaufman county home. we have more from the owner of the gun shop that the d.a. visited right before he was murdered. what have you learnd? >> reporter: well, john, the afternoon before he and his wife were slain, mike mcclelland had been to a gun store, asking how to protect his workers. the district attorney had appeared concerned about his own saifert and of his staff. he asked suggestions. he was told to arm himself and handguns and wear a bullet proof vest. he showed him sprveg firearms to consider. >> when he came in, i had him come over and look at this gun because this is one that the police used to get issued. it's a colt python. this is what they were issued back in the 80s. all the police officers had

these. as far as i know, this is the last gun that mike ever held. >> reporter: he says that mike mcclelland told him he owned a variety of rifles, shotguns and revolvers and most of them were 22s or 30-30s. police believe the d.a. might have been running for a gun when he heard his wife being shot when the killer struck. his bfersr body was found in the rear of the house. he may have been also trying to get away. no leads on the suspect or a motive behind the murder. the assistant d.a. was killed in january. the mystery is ongoing. >> absolute mystery. is the national rifle association wing the public relations war on gun control? some people say the powerful gun lobby is flocking the bird one feathera a time, pulling away stiffer support. a fair and balanced debate. why one side calls the nra's

even though you had flood insurance? >> reporter: jim and tracy kenny have done light shitely better. better. they have gotten their estimated repair costs. >> we want to put our house back together. we are not looking for anything. we want to put it back approximate move back in. that's all we want to do. >> reporter: darci green is an insurance success story -- sort of. she lost her first floor and basem, her house hit by another house. she recently got a substantial check. >> i feel fortunate to have any settlement. it's not all that we hoped for, but it was enough to move forward. >> reporter: a natural insurance trade group wouldn't discuss individual case, but overall says the claims were overwhelming, more than halving a million, over 90% have been settled for a total of more than

$7 billion. the insurance industry says it's not about paying people less than they want, it's about paying people the amount they are due under the terms of their contract. but in most cases, that's less than what people want and less than they need to rebuild. in bayhead, new jersey, fox news. >> the rutgers university whistle-blower may be in trouble. the assistant coach who first voiced concerns about the abuse of his boss is now under investigation by the feds. we'll tell you why. get ready for sparks to fly. our all-star panel is taking on gun control and the nra. don't go away. ♪ constipated? yeah. mm. some laxatives like dulcolax can cause cramps. but phillips' caplets don't. they have magnesium. for effective relief of occasional constipation.

the head two years ago. the head of the nra's school safety task force, former congressman asa hutchinson said it would be impossible for the government to prevent all violence. he was on "fox news sunday" and you can see that interview following america's news headquarters today. as congress debates new gun control measure, the washington post writes that the nra is chipping away at support for more restrictions and senate democrats are finding the powerful gun lobby difficult to resist. diagram we have a fair and bbsed debate. leslie, washington post and the headline yesterday said that the nra is winning the gun control debate. is it? is that a bad thing? >> i don't think if you look at the polls, 90% of the american people who favor background checks. when you look at the polls at various states, including the

one i am sitting in that are passing tougher gun control measures, that's not what the people are saying. i know in the past, they got cfsessed as to the g.o.p. constituency, versus the grover norquist being the leader. that's out after november. now it's the nra. but i grew up in massachusetts. for years, when i lived there, had one of and continues to have one of the toughest gun control measures and the nra is silent. connecticut had a weapons ban in place and the nra was silent. this is political since new town. this shouldn't be about politics. this really should be about where can we agree to make this nation safer for the people and especially my children? >> of course. a funny thing happened to the way to leslie's pals trying to restrict americans' constitutional rights to keep

and bare arms. thanks for explaining that you grew up in massachusetts. now comes itth. now i get it -- >> yeah, right. >> i am kidding. but seriously, there is anude clip i play on my radio show all the time from rom emanuel, president guru's former guru. he said, you never let a crisis go to waste. what i mean, you always take a crisis and try to effect change with it nathat you ordinarily couldn't do it. i think americans saw what the left tried to do with newtown. americans were appalled. the democrats try todmanipulate americans' emotions into thinking that newtown is the brashing through catast 3 fee that will take away americans' rights to keep and bear arms. one. mistakes we make with the nra. listen, the gun lobby -- the american people are the nra. the american people are the gun

lobby. americans don't want their second amendment tampered with. and americans hold very, very strongly to the belief that we have a right to keep and bear arms. we need a reasonable response to newtown and to gabrielle giffords and those who were killed. nothing on the table is reasonable because everyone know it's leasely, you would admit it -- none of the restrictions in place today would have stopped newtown -- not one! >> let me jump in, mike and go to the universal background checks because that appears to be the only thing that may survive in the senate. the assault weapons ban is dead. and limiting the size of magazines is dead. i want to go back to the gabrielle giffords op-ed. determination guides me every day, we need to be determined to passions background check legislation to make it hard for criminals and dangerously mentally ill to get weapons in the first place. she is a gun owner. she is not afraid of universal

background checks. why not shanybody be? >> i understand that. i think that is reasonable. >> what's the problem? >> the problem is, she's right. a lot of people are frustrated on the left because they want more. they want to limit how many -- how big the magazines are -- >> mike, we said, that appear business to be dead. the big worry with gun owners is the idea of a federal gun registry. is there anything in the legislation in congress that could lead us down that road? >> no because first of all, it's illegal to have a national gun rengistry. but successly, we stolook at history. i want to give you one example. the broke up a massive gun trafficking ring that was going from the state of virginia to the state of new york. they could not have done that without being able to see who registered the gun, who was selling it and to whom. we are talking about safety. this is not violating the second

amendment. when i go to the scpairpt they go through my bag, i am not worried because i'm not a terrorist bringing something bad on the plain -- >> when a person goes to a private gun show, when a person is buying a gun at a collectors, you know, show at somebody's home, as well as a gun show, this is common sense. we want everyone -- if you have nothing to hide, why shouldn't we have a background check on the people? [overlapping dialogue] >> okay, 30 seconds. i think that's a reasonable response. i understand the concerns. what we don't like is this -- this pension for a slippery slope. make no mistake, liberal democrats wanted much more. they didn't get t. at the end of the day, the american people have spoken. the demonization of the nra didn't work. the empty rhetoric failed and ultimately, we are going to get to keep and bear arms. >> eric: yes or no answer here.

so if congress comes out with legislation, providing for universal background checks with an absolute guarantee there will be no federal gun registry, could you suspect that? >> yes, absolutely. >> eric: thanks for joining us. we found common ground.

trying to get a restraining order to prevent me to talking about planned parenthood. obviously, that failed on their end. i am able to freely talk about that with you. >> let's get to it. you talked about this idea that planned parenthood is, quote, running one of the count row a biggest mint manipulations. can you explain that? >> yes. planned parenthood gave its employees a direct testify sell more abortions. they have a quota that must be filled in every single clinic. you are having to sell abortions to very vulnerable women -- i remember my supervisor saying that we have to turn every phone call and every client visit into a revenue-generating visit. if a woman is pregnant, the only way to generate revenue is do provide an abortion because they

do not provide prenatal care. >> president clinton famously said that abortion should be safe, legal and rare. according to your statement, rare is want part of the equation for planned parenthood. >> vialso several women diead planned parenthood clinics and other private clinics. the idea that abortion is safe is a farce and saying it is rare is definitely untrue. >> what you are saying paints a very unkind picture of planned parenthood. why did you get involved in the first place? >> i was a vulnerable college kid. i didn't know anything about planned parenthood when i was first approach bide someone, trying to recruit volunteers. she made planned parenthood out to sound like a benefact overy benevolent to women and women.

south korea. he has kim jong un has reportedly moved a missile to the east coast. many believe china could hold the key to the tense situation. >> china could cut off their economy if they want to. chinese behavior has been very disappointing, whether it object cyber security, whether it be on confrontation in the south china sea or failure to reign rein in a catastrophic situation. >> the chinese hold a lot of cards here. they are by nature cautious but carrying it to an extreme. it's time they stepped up to the plate and put pressure on this north korean regime. >> reporter: an indication it may be happening. china may be losing patience, the president there said no country should be allowed to throw the region of the world into chaos for selfish gain.

he didn't mention north korea by name but it's widely referring to the next-door neighbor. >> john: steve, thanks so much. senior white house advisor defended the budget proposal on fox news. you'll see that interview coming up in a little while but president obama will roll out his budget plan on wednesday. he is getting criticism from liberal base upset that the president wants to cut entitlements in exchange for more tax increases. in the republican response, sam brownback says the president is going about it all wrong. key to changing the economy is to change things at the state level. governor brown back joins us live. were you taking the final four in yesterday? >> i sure am and i am proud of wichita state. they didn't quite beat louisville.

>> john: very exciting game. the president revealing his budget coming up on wednesday it looks like now is the best guess offering to trade cuts and entitlements for more revenue raises. what do you think of the idea? >> i don't think he is going at it the right way. i appreciate he is trying to get at the deficit. we have to get at the deficit. you have to get the economy growing so you need to get a tax policy that lowers your overall tax rate. i think you have to do more at government cuts, more like a government employee buyout program like at the stated levels and go at targeted things like that cutting spending within the overall organization. i think those are ways we ought to look. we ought to look at the states. a lot of states have been dealing with tight budget situations for five years now. he could find a lot of clues in how to deal with it then. >> john: 33 republican governors they are taking prudent steps in

turning their budget problems around. what was the situation in kansas? >> we had $876 and $500 million projected zist. we now have $3500 million in the bank, a billion dollar swing, didn't raise taxes, we cut them and we took all taxes off of small business, all llc and sub income, no stated income tax as a way to grow the economy. that has produced a growing atmosphere within the state of kansas. 5.5% unemployment rate and we're getting the budget deficit under control and we invested in key areas of the economy, like aviation in the state of kansas. it's really what we got to do federally. i think the president has a great chance to do that. >> john: you said in the address yesterday the entrepreneurial spirit of america can achieve growth. federal government is we set with simple math that the states

aren't. they have huge entitlement programs including social security which is under funded by 10% next decade. following decade is underfunded by 20%. they face issues that you don't in the state. >> yes, they have a couple tools. they can print money. they can borrow it in huge quantities. most of us are required to balance our budget. i'm not saying the states should have those abilities. i think those can be misused, but in the entitlement area, think you have to address your entitlement reform, too. the steps i'm identifying getting your economy growing -- because this economy is not growing what it needs to do. going specific at government cut areas and getting costs under control are two proven ways that the president obama can do before he gets or as he gets entitlement reform. >> john: i need to ask you where do you come around medicaid

expansion under the affordable care act? >> that is what we're doing, thinking about it. the key thing for me is we have to be able to pay for it on a long term basis. you got everything in the state of kansas under can care but long term we have to pay for this thing. i'm sure that the states are going to have to pay will go up overtime. >> john: kansas legislature passed a new abortion bill that would prohibit gender based abortion and define life beginning at conception. will you sign that bill? >> i anticipate that i will. i have not reviewed it. i want to get through the entire bill, but i'm pro-life. i believe life is a sacred thing that is gift from god. i anticipate that i will. >> john: sam brownback, good to talk to you. enjoy the championship game tomorrow night. >> thank you very much. >> john: tragedy in the family of pastor rick warren.

youngest son matthew has died by suicide. leader of one of nation's largest churches announced the sad news. in the email he remembered his son's compassion for others and asked for prayers for the family. he says the 27-year-old struggled with mental illness and depression. president obama has said to pass gun control legislation will not be easy. that was the leading topic of discussion during the that talk show. >> john a few days after the horrible tragedy in connecticut in december, president obama flew there and said enough is enough and he would use whatever on power he had to prevent further mass shootings. today the man enlisted by the nra how to secure schools, when it comes to white house calls for stronger background checks, president obama has taken the debate totally in the wrong direction. he stood by a proposal to protect school kids with armed

guards. >> let me emphasize, it's not about arming teachers. teachers should teach and others should protect. it is really about armed officers first and if that is not available having an armed school staff that is trained. >> reporter: if you ask the white house the president has a majority of the american public on his side and partisans in congress are preventing meaningful change. >> when the president gave the state of the union with newtown families were in the audience, everybody stood up and you applauded. now that the cameras are not there they are engaging in tactics to make this harder. politics is the only reason why this won't get gone. >> reporter: gabrielle giffords wrote, i know my congress and passing this legislation that we hear the american people and serious about keeping them safe earned a we're focused on

solutions to this overwhelming problem of gun violence. senator chuck schumer called background checks the sweet spot in this debate while john mccain indicated that his potential supported important background checks seemed strengthened depends on on how they will carry them out. >> john: we heard conciliatory notes from dan pfeiffer when he was talking on sunday. you'll see that coming up. when it comes to the prosecution the former white house communications director was talking a hard line. >> there is a pavlovian response about the media response. why do you ask me about this. >> what did he say to that? >> to say it out loud and think about it. it's like my friend said this.

>> john: there were harsh words for the washington press corps. can he and his team keep up the bare-kegy they are pursuing. chris is here now with his perspective. this is great conversation because we both been there. i spent seven years in the trenches in the white house. i got iced out. >> you were sitting up in the front row taking knuckle balls. >> when it comes to the drugs, the website it hits the people that follow it? >> i'm sure what you heard him talking about, he likes politico. he they like to do stories how tough and smart and mean and difficult the white house team is and sort of like an admiring. they are so tough with us. not again, dan. but you see when he talked about

the drudge report, this echoed what wee saw about isolate fox news. we saw this about other things over time. we saw this with bob woodward if they find something they don't like they try to cull. he was trying to call the drudge report out as not okay. he was mocking reporters who asked him about stories that appear on the drudge report. >> john: it amazes me that woodward goes into that and says that. >> how many times can he pull the rug out. >> john: ed henry does a terrific job there. you can tell his ex dhiangsz with jay carney are laced with a lot of pointed rhetoric. >> this is what is interesting. pfeiffer and company you say sau him talking to chris having a get to point where they can do a

budget or do something. that is reflection on the president's lame duck status. the sand is running through the hour glass and they have to do it. there is parallel construction with the press. if they think they can continue to trade access to the president for favorable coverage every day the president is in office access is one day less valuable. >> john: it's november 14th. >> every day between now and then pfeiffer has less potency. >> john: i remember when i first joined the white house press corps, i was invited to two state dinners. then i asked president clinton a tough question and never got invited again. are they doing something different? >> they are doing it at lower level with more frequency.

what you are talking about there is important persons, important network, this is high stakes diplomacy. this the way we interact with countries. when you are talking about -- i've seen it firsthand -- people that are filing stories, the tone and harshness, they are very tough. they have a locker room attitude. they are always bristling. it will be interesting to see how it plays out the second term because the dynamics changes. there is a lot of mouse clicks out there willing to challenge them and take the tough shots. >> john: absolutely. we'll keep lifting up ed henry. great to see you. coming up in this hour, one stated threatens to sue the obama administration if the president signs the arms treaty. i'll ask gregg abbot he is

worried it will affect gun owners in the united states. and fox news reporter could wind up in jail for protecting her sources. should there be a federal shield law. we'll ask an expert coming up.

>>. >> john: check this video out. a man flies into the sky using nearly 200 helium balloons attached to himself all in the name of charity. he floated in the sky from the island where nelson mandela was held to the mainland of south africa. it raised money for a charity. he admitted he was freaking out just a little bit while he was in the sky and who wouldn't. >> i think it's the choice that no journalist should have to make having done it. it was very difficult decision but knowing how indispensable confidential sources are to what we do, i felt that i didn't have a choice. i just kind of learned the fact

this many years after i went to jail we are still arguing about whether or not jonathan has to make this choice because we don't have a federal shield law. >> john: that was reporter judith miller who was jailed for 85 days for refusing to give up one of her own sources. a colorado judge has ordered her to release the name of a source that provided information in the murder case of james holmes accused of killing 12 people. they uncovered a notebook that called about violence that allegedly had. peter johnson, jr., great to talk you to you. what do you think? should she face jail time? >> no, absolutely not. there is a qualified shield privilege that means that reporters and sources are

protected under most situation. i would argue it's an easy call for the judge to say, this is tempest in the teapot. let's not throw the first amendment under the bus based on mr. holmes' lawyers which have admitted they would like to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. so in doing so, to bring this her to colorado to testify and then give up sources. she has pointed to two law enforcement sources in her authoritative article about a year ago, that does a disservice to the constitutional protection. now, you talk about the federal shield law. there is no federal law that protects journalists, although the supreme court indicated back in 1972 pointed to a higher standard by which journalists would be asked to reveal their

sources. this lab terrible injustice to ask miss winter to turn over sources. >> john: the federal shield law but let's go to the colorado shield law. complaint complaint has been not as tight as federal shield law or the city of new york where you are. here are some of the exemptions that the person may have to reveal information if, the information is directly relevant to a substantial issue, information cannot be obtained through any reasonable means and all three things have to go together and strong issue issuing the subpoena outweighs the first amendment. taken together, could they make the case, yes she did you do need to come forward? >> under the totality of the circumstances, there is an arguable claims that mr. holmes'

attorneys have but interests of reporters like john roberts, when doctor edward r. murrow. you know you relied on confidential sources, this is matter of great interest to the public. i will protect your identity if you provide me with this information. apparently that is what happened in this case. this judge says, the first amendment doesn't prevail and i want her on the stand. when she goes on the stand and refuses under the shield law in the state of colorado to provide the information, i will put that young journalist in jail. i don't think that is going to happen in this case. >> john: one other quick point. this notebook that was sent to a doctor, the center of the case here over whether or not he had

any violent tendencies before he shot all those people. has the case moved beyond that? in the middle of last week new facts were revealed regarding dr. lynn in which she talked about the threat that holmes appeared to be, that he talked about doing violence, he threatened her -- is this a moot point? >> it is a moot point. you could argue the case right now, john. it is a moot point. the public record is full of all kinds of information that in my pinpoint to the guilt of the defendant in this case. it points to notice that was given to the psychiatrist, noticed was given to public officials or security officials at the university with regard to his propensity or his desire to commit homicidal acts. everything that has been talked about here is a a side show in my belief.

the courts should move along to the substantial issues that the statute talks about, and really understand the first amendment outweighs the interests of any of the other issues that are ongoing in this case. issue does not go to the guilt or innocence of the defendant or his ability to get a fair trial. if the judge believes that his ability to get a fair trial has been compromised, he can send the case somewhere else in that particular state but how and why it may have been compromised is really unimportant to the ultimate issue of his guilt or his innocence. side show, free jana winters. >> john: secretary of state john jury overseas trying to restart peace talks. israel's ambassador doesn't think it's going to happen and

we'll talk to him. could a u.s. arms treaty impact your second amendment right. gregg abbot joins to us explain after the break. partial, you are almost twice as likely to lose the supporting teeth? even subtle movement of your partial can put stress on supporting teeth. this could lead to further tooth loss. try new poligrip® seal and protect denture adhesive. it stabilizes your partial to help reduce movement against gums and supporting teeth. care for your partial. help protect your natural teeth with new poligrip® for partials. also try polidt® clean and protect denture cleanser to kill 99.9% of odor causing bacteria. this has been medifacts for polygrip® for partials. over our secure network, verizon innovators are building a world of medical treatment data in the cloud. so doctors can make a more informed diagnosis from anywhere, in seconds

>> long before secretary hagel called the north korea threat a clear and real danger on wednesday, the army has been poised to respond. here is army chief of staff with his advice to the world nation. >> we already have. there are traptors and bombers and ships? >> maybe miscalculate the will of the united states. i believe we will do this in a way that we sustain the capability and capacity. i would suggest about miscalculating. >> do you have intelligence that kim jong un can back it up? >> there is an unknown about why he is doing this. what does it really mean. it's incumbent upon to us watch it very carefully and see what mitigating actions we can take. >> jamie: the general says

whatever action we take, will be curtailed if we go to full sequestration, something he hopes to be avoided by getting predicability in the military's budget this summer. he answered an lingering unknown concerning syria. >> jamie: one potential not so unknown is syria. is there evidence that chemical weapons were used and if what are we prepared to do and if not why wait? tens of thousands of people have been killed? >> there has been no distinct evidence that chemical and biological weapons have been used based on the evidence i have seen. we have to be aware that the potential is there. as we do, we will conduct several contingencies. our job is to provide the president options. >> jamie: as the world keeps a close eye on the middle east and asia, those options will be constantly reevaluated.

the general assuring me our forces will remain the fiercest ready to respond whatever we face ahead. my complete interview is available at foxnews.com. >> john: very interesting breaking news that you got regarding syria and chemical weapons. thanks for joining us. >> u.s. backs a u.s. arms treaty. next step is ratification in the u.s. senate but opponents say the treaty could burden law abiding citizens here in negotiation. greg abbot will texas will lead the charge. general abbot, why are you against this treaty? >> let me pointed out two great concerns, first the treat if i is laden with both loopholes and loose language you can literally drive a tank through that threat second amendment rights of all americans. the bigger picture disconcerting

that we see united states of america entering into an agreement with united nations to limit rights that we are guaranteed under the bill of rights. united nations cannot be trusted with the united states bill of rights. treaties do not trump the constitution. we are prepared to wage a legal battle to make sure that our second amendment rights will be guaranteed. >> john: how would this treaty trample on the second amendment rights of americans? this is international treaty and says in the resolution, quote, it reaffirms the rights of any country to control arms pursuant to the own legal or constitutional system. language may be loose but that is specific? >> there is specific language in there that does other things. it sets up a, quote, secretary

that will be in charge the implementation of the agreement. two, it requires the regulation by the member states, one which is united states, to regulate the transfer, transportation of firearms. three, it sets up a registry so that the united states if it is going to comply with this u.n. treaty is going to have to have a registry that fall under the categories that is regulated by this treaty. that will be encumbrance of our second amendment rights. this is pathway allowing the united nations and foreign bureaucrats to find out what is going on here. another thing that is contained in the treaty, all the information the united states gathers must be given to the united nations for the united nations to share with all the member states across the entire globe. >> john: the registry you are referring to use the language of end user when it talks about

transfer of guns. if a company in italy, the registries would be on the individual. do you believe it would go deep down or would the importer would be the end user? >> you are bringing up the point i made. the loopholes, end user isn't defined in there. it could be defined as the very individual here in the united states who is going to be purchasing that weapon and that person would be subject to a registry that the u.n. would control and share around the world. we believe that violates your second amendment rights. >> john: big concern in the senate isn't so much to decide whether there could be a gun registry. there doesn't seem to be any appetite for it. their concern, why should the u.s. sign this arms treaty where iran and syria will ignore it?

>> and syria to sign on to it, that is because the u.n. treaty does not limit guns being provided to terrorists. that is one of more sensitive things about it. here the united states enters into agreement that limits law abiding americans but doesn't limit the ability of terrorists to gain access to these firearms >> john: good to see you. thanks for taking time. >> israel is keeping a close eye on the violence in syria. what would it take for them to act? we'll ask the ambassador to the united states coming up. as a teacher, i like to keep my morning classes lively.

thanks so much for coming today, everybody. ugh! ugh! give me the purse! ugh! great job, julie! that why i eat belvita at breakfast. it's made with delicious ingredients and carefully baked to release steady energy that lasts. hi-yah! yes! that is what i'm talking about!

so i can keep inspiring my students, all morning. ugh! ugh! belvita breakfast biscuits. steady energy. to do what i do -- all morning long. >>. >> john: right now secretary of state john kerry is in israel where he rapid up a meeting with mahmoud abbas. he is hoping to rekindle peace talks between israel and

palestinian authorities. president obama has also been there recently but will the trips make a difference? shannon bream sat down with the ambassador to the united states. >> very important time for israel. let me get your sense of whether things have moved following president obama's visit? >> i think his visit gave a certain push, we hope, to the peace process. we've been waiting for four years for palestinian president mahmoud abbas to rejoin us at negotiating table and so far he has refused. we have made efforts to incentivize him to come back to the table and also a gas drill is a site in the eastern mediterranean, if he would take the site it would represent an income to hundreds of millions of dollars to palestinian authorities. all he has no to do is come back to the negotiating table. he hasn't done it. our position and president obama's position negotiation

between the israelis and palestinians should begin immediately. all the core issues, whether the security, borders in jerusalem to reach a two-state solution. we hope the president's visit will motivate abbas to come back. >> our secretary of state john kerry will meet with leaders. what are your hopes for the visit? >> one home we can get the talks going. we hope that secretary of state kerry can convince the palestinian leadership that the only way to resolve this conflict is by direct negotiations, not by going to the u.n. unilaterally. not like reconciliation with hamas who is dedicated to israel's destruction. way to resolve it is sitting face and face, netanyahu and abbas as we are sitting right

now and working out our problems. >> how concerned are you about the unrest in the region? >> it creates a great uncertainty among the israelis. we have a potentially flammable situation in the entire region. we are always looking for opportunities, as well. what is happening in syria, great dangers, question of control overseerian chemical weapons stockpile which is the largest in the world. we set a red line there. if the syrians transfer those weapons over to hezbollah or other terrorists we won't remain passive. we're going stake by that. we see a certain opportunity. if the fall of regime in syria would lead to peaceful syria, nobody would be happier. we long said we are on the only stable democracy in the middle east. we would be happier if we were

one of many democracy in the middle east. >> how lonely is it? >> right now there is one country in the middle east that is stable and economically, that has not known a second of undemocratic and you saw when president obama the american flags flying everywhere. >> not anywhere else that i can easily recall. you said you won't be passive in this situation. when you say that, what does it mean on the table? >> on the red line in syria, we've been clear, any transfer of what we call game changing ammunition, weaponry in the hands of hezbollah, such as anti-aircraft munitions which are advanced in the syrian arsenal, chemical weapons. can you imagine hezbollah in lebanon which is proxy for iran

has 70,000 rockets. many are situated inside the homes because if we try to defend ourselves we be condemned as war criminals. imagine if they were tipped with chemical weapons. we won't remain passive. that is our red line very much supported by the obama administration. >> would you take preemptive action? >> we mean it, we will not do that. >> how do you see it playing out. it's gone on longer than anybody like to see, how will it play out? >> we think assad will fall eventually. when he is going to fall, nobody knows. anybody who tells you is a false prophet, but we hope when he falls that chaos does not reign there. that syria will emerge a united peace loving democratic

government there. what are the chances of that right now? i'm from jerusalem and i'm no prophet and i can't tell you. >> we thank you very much for your time. >> john: tax day is week away. you have been sending your tax questions. after the break, brenda buttner will answer. i'm phyllis, and i have diabetic nerve pain. when i first felt the diabetic nerve pain, of course, i had no idea what it was. i felt like my feet were going to sleep. it progressed from there to burning like i was walking on hot coals to like a thousand bees that were just stinging my feet. i have a great relationship with my doctor. he found lyrica for me.
