is tax day, so we're going to have a tax expert on. this person is coming in house to answer all your questions. we want to make sure that you send in those questions. have a great weekend. >>gretchen: tgif. it is friday, april 12, 2013. i'm gretchen carlson. i hope you're going to have a fantastic weekend. maybe not when you hear this news. do they have the nukes? apparently they do and now they know how to use them. that classified bombshell about north korea's capability exposed could have been by mistake. secretary of state john kerry lands in the region. >>steve: jane fonda telling a group of vietnam veterans to get a life as they protest her playing nancy reagan in an upcoming movie. this morning how the veterans are firing back. they're not fond of jane fonda. >>brian: want to hijack a

plane? there is a smart app for that. the pilot who says he can take over with a smart phone and he's got the video to use it. "fox & friends" starts now. >>steve: brian, you're saying because we use blackberries, the only way we can take over a plane is to hit the pilot in the head with it. when you're an auto pilot, are you in peril because there is this guy who figured out how to take over any airplane if it's in auto pilot. >>gretchen: something more to worry about when you're hurting a white knuckleer. >>steve: then you take over a plane. >>brian: i love the fact that we're going to make grilled cheese and talk about jay-z all in the same show with geraldo.

mark airgo will be on the show. >>steve: in the 8:00 hour. a book about brand-new puppies. puppies one-day old. >>brian: we are the most pro-puppy show out there today. "the today show" anti-puppy. >>gretchen: so we don't become a headline, let me give you the headlines. a second white supremacist prison gang member wanted in connection with the colorado prison chief's murder has been arrested. they were looking for him. he was found in a home that he had been hiding out for weeks in colorado springs. his name came up during investigation in the murder of tom clements. investigators believe who were in contact with ebel days before the killing.

ebel was killed in a shootout. authorities believe he killed a pizza driver and used the victims' uniform to get clements to answer the door. >> a deadly bus crash in texas, two people killed and more than 40 injured after the bus swhrapld into a concrete barrier and flipped over. some people who saw the accident rushed to help. >> we wanted to get everybody that was able to walk out towards the back of the bus away from the field and off of everybody else that was already injured. >>gretchen: on buses many passengers were not wearing seat belts. among those killed was the organizer of the trip, something her family said she had been doing for ten years. >> powerful spring storms to blame for at least three deaths in the southeast. in mississippi, a storm even flipping an 18 wheeler. in kemper county,

mississippi, one person killed after a tornado hit a business. all that is left of the building is bent metal. debris from that business scattered all across the street. >> you'll never have to fear a storm named sandy again. the world meteorological organization retired sandy from the list of hurricane names after the extreme damage the storm caused last fall. hurricane sandy which morphed super storm sand, 17 people killed and more than $50 billion in damage was done. >>brian: i think sandy alomar should give up the name sandy too. >>steve: we've been talking about what's going on there north korea. crisis averted, secretary of state john kerry finally in south korea to take care of stuff. he's there right now. that is a live picture from south korea. he's there today. then he's going to china on saturday and japan on sunday.

he's going to tell china do something about north korea, would you? meanwhile they're in south korea and in japan, he's going to assure both countries we've got your back even though that crazy guy has his finger on a nuke. >>brian: i don't think it is a good move for seoul yesterday and the president yesterday as well essentially asking north korea to ratchet it down, and nobody wants a war in the korean peninsula but we worry about the next time this happens. are you reenforcing this crazy behavior that has brought the south korean economy to its knees because everyone doesn't know if a war is going to break out. it's affecting all of asia. if he knows he can have this type of power, what about the next time? >>gretchen: what is the answer? that is the problem. >>brian: stay strong. >>gretchen: the president yesterday told him that this approach was not going to work. he sent john kerry over there. i don't know if anyone knows what to do. but i do know yesterday, was it classified information released during a hearing? or was it unclassified?

it appeared that the joint chiefs of staff, general martin dempsey, did not know what congressman lambert was talking about when he said this. >> quoting from the unclassified portion which i believe has not yet been made public, they say -- quote -- "d.i.a. assesses with moderate confidence the north currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles. however, the reliability will be low." >>gretchen: martin dempsey said i don't know what you're talking about. i have not read that report. where do you stand on that this morning? this is the joint chiefs of staff. was he bluffing because he's realizing they just released classified information? keep in mind, this is the first time it's been said for sure north korea has nuclear warheads. >>brian: i'd like to see the answer, like to see dempsey answer because i hope he was coy to say i haven't seen that if he in

fact just read the classified portion of the report and got it confused. >>steve: apparently it was the unclassified portion. before that congressman read it in open court, they called up the d.i.a. and said it is accurate; right? they said yes. it is unclassified; right? they said yes. so he did it. the headline is whether or not it is unclassified is that north korea has figured a way to take their nuclear technology and make it so small they can put a warhead on the top of a ballistic missile. and that is the headline. that's the scary thing. >>gretchen: the other thing is we don't know the range of these missiles. now that we know they have the nuclear capability for them, we don't -- if we didn't know this until yesterday -- or at least the general public didn't know it -- then do we really know the range of these missiles? the whole story line has been it can't reach the u.s. territory of guam. it can't really reach the united states of america. do we really know? >>brian: if you have a missile defense system on

guam, i sense you think a missile could come. i think if you put them in alaska, you have a sense it could hit the homeland. the question is would it get off in the air, period, because we have anti-missile ships in that area. they theoretically could knock it down. my question is this: if the south korean government, who is supposed to be so tough, says let's talk and we go that direction and knowing the progress they're making on missile technology over the last five years and we're supposedly looking at them, what's it going to be like two years from now? five years from now? they're going to have more missiles, further along in their nuclear program. which they have a phraou tone yam program and a uranium program. what are we waiting for? >>gretchen: the most important meeting will be john kerry with china because china can end this if they want to. they have a myriad of reasons to hold out called the u.s. economy and the debt. but john kerry, that will be the most important thing that will happen in this entire mess moving forward. do we have a resolution with this coming next week?

remember, monday is the anniversary of the original dictator there, his grandfather. >>steve: something is going to happen between now and sunday night. the scary part is they've got the little nuke and it's not reliable. they might shoot it that way, the next thing you know it goes that way. >>brian: i hear the chinese government is divided. they are not even on the same page, the military and this new president aren't on the same page with others that are getting aggravated by this stabilization and others intrigued about it. >>steve: earlier this week phargt rhett thatcher died and the house used resolution and immediately adjourned. they did that in the u.s. house. over on the senate, according to sources on the hill, apparently senate democrats have blocked it, a resolution to honor lady thatcher by placing a hold on it. why would senate democrats not want to honor one of america's greatest allies

in the modern time? >>brian: everything was done. it goes into the senate. it's held up. we'll see if they push it forward or if this report is accurate or not. there's people there who don't agree with her to the point where they would stop this type of salute. >>steve: crazy. >>gretchen: there is a new movie coming out called "the butler" and jane fonda is going to be playing the role of nancy reagan. apparently veterans are upset about this for a variety of reasons, and they are going to boycott the movie. jane fonda had an interesting message back to them which was to basically get a life. larry reyes, who was a navy veteran and founder of the boycott, hanoi jane playing nancy reagan, had this to say about that. filmmakers knew by picking jane for the part they were going to stir up stuff. i'm not a conservative or liberal. i'm an american. >>brian: from an early

age i knew about her history. by the way, nancy reagan called up jane fonda, helped her with the part. she is not upset about it. those who served are not going to let it go because it dominates their life and it is an important part of american history. you found out where everyone stood at that time. >>steve: the guy who had the facebook page said it amazes me that people turned their backs on what she did -- hanoi jane fonda. they turned their backs and kept supporting her exercise movies and videos. i made a point early on not to support her projects. interesting enough, jane fonda, in addition to what gretch said, where she told those people who want to boycott it to get a life, she said look if her being in the movie creates hoopla, it will cause more people to see the movie. i figure it will tweak the right. who cares according to the former mrs. ted turner. >>gretchen: young students bring home a cross

>>brian: president obama is under attack from both sides to a degree and now the office of management and budget releases shocking figures of their own all about what the president released on his budget on wednesday. >>gretchen: they are predicting by 20169 government will spend more than $4 trillion and that is just in one year. this marks the first time the president presided over a federal government spending that much money. here with his analysis is stu varney. i know what you're going to say. >> go ahead and say it for phaoefplt >>gretchen: it is not a good idea. >> the president long said, long implied that he wants to get spending under control and that this budget would not really raise spending. wrong on all counts. i don't think the president ever intended to rein in spending, and this budget proves it. $4 trillion in one year,

never seen that before. now look at the other side of the fence. how about deficits. under the president's budget plan, the deficit will always be double what it was in the last year of the bush presidency. in other words, pre-obama, the high for the deficit was $458 billion. under obama for eight years and beyond, it will always be double that number. >>brian: here's what we do have, record revenue coming into this country, with the tax increase and the economy getting on track. the president does have in play just in growth alone but he's going beyond that. >> this new budget costs another $1 trillion to be taken off the so-called wealthy, the rich, successful people. that's another $1 trillion in tax increases. this pw-pbl is, like we said yesterday, it does not cut the debt, does not cut spending. it does tax the rich. it's more distribution.

that's what it is. >>gretchen: when people hear the president say he's going to reform entitlements and he is cutting the deficit, he's been working on that, they should not take him at face value because they need to look at the fine print. >> pure spin. what the president is doing, what he said he's going to do is to reduce the growth rate of the deficit or reduce the growth rate of spending. in other words, instead of growing maybe $200 billion a year, it will grow just $190 billion a year, just to use a number. it's reducing the rate of growth of spending, not cutting spending. >>brian: he was called out for releasing that budget as unserious by "the washington post" as late as today. if you hear harry reid speak about it, he's dismissed it already. already patty murray is dealing with paul ryan one on one. his whole budget is basically a nonfactor. >> a mess. the president's budget, the senate democrat's budget, paul ryan's budget, all three plans. they've got to sort something out.

i had senator grassley on my program yesterday who said don't hold your breath. you're not going to get a final agreement on a budget for months and months and months. he thought he could actually stretch it to next year. that's what he's suggesting. >>gretchen: stuart varney, we're going to check you out on your show, 9:20 a.m. on fox business. >>brian: stuart varney upped the ante on promos. next on the rundown, this pilot lost his landing gear and went in for a belly flop, but he didn't know he'd make it. wait until you hear the last request he sent to his air traffic controller. >>gretchen: russian president vladimir putin showing his softer side with puppies. can you say distraction can you say distraction maybe? hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios

has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

>>brian: the united states under fire after giving four more fighter jets to egypt. they are part of a foreign aid package. critics say it betrays our allies. the united states is expected to give them another eight in the next couple of months. they may be here illegally but don't call them illegal immigrants. according to a company memo, "usa today" is dropping the term illegal immigrant unless it is used in a direct quotation. the organization says -- quote -- "undocumented depending on context is acceptable." earlier this month the a.p. also dropped the "illegal"

part of illegal aliens. >> after years of being seen as a fringe political movement, this wave seems to be picking up major steam, all thanks to the rise of kentucky senator rand paul, mr. filibuster. >> i will speak as long as it takes until the alarm is hounded from coast to coast -- until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that no american should be killed by a drone. the g.o.p. of old has grown stale and moss-covered. ask the facebook generation whether we should put a kit in jail for the nonviolent crime of drug reuse and you'll hear a resounding "no." we must stand for something so powerful and so popular that it brings together people from the left and the right. >>steve: paul's strong defense of civil liberties has taken libertarians to the mainstream. roger stone, a political scientist joins us live. good morning to you. what did rand paul do?

>> i think he galvanized and reenergized the libertarian wing of the republican party. i don't think libertarians should be seen as a party but a movement and now a movement reasserting itself inside the republican party. >>steve: ronald reagan said libertarianism is the heart and soul of con sefrbtism. >> as the baby-boom generation moves into middle age and late middle age combined with young voters, for the first time in america you have a generation socially tolerant and economically conservative. it is a new day. >>steve: you wrote a column where you talked about how the republican party conducted an autopsy on the last election and realized we're going to have to do a better job of outreach. part of the outreach is to young people. so many of them are libertarians. >> autopsies are usually performed on people who are dead. the good news here is thanks very much to senator

rand paul the republican party is very much alive and the fight for freedom is going to get waged within the party. >>steve: for a lot of people who don't pay attention that closely, what do libertarians stand for? >> civil liberties, personal and economic freedom. that's a simplification. a strong national defense, a government that doesn't spy on you, spending and borrowing within our means. it's a new day. >>steve: the parts of the libertarian platform such as it is that republicans don't particularly go for? >> some republicans, we want to decriminalize and in some cases legalize and even tax marijuana. we are for gay marriage equality. at the same time we're for smaller government, less spending, less borrowing, lower taxes, strong national defense. >>steve: when rand paul, for instance, at c-pac was talking about those issues, he didn't emphasize them, kind of went over them, but

when you look at what he stands for, look at his father, rand paul is much less of the isolationist than his father was and is, and he ran for president three times. >> i thought his recent trip to israel was encouraging. he is not an isolationist. he is a noninterventionist and there is a big difference. >>steve: roger stone, thank you. 27 minutes after the top of the hour. ahead, eighth graders bring home a cross word puzzle and the clue for conservatism read the party that wants to restrict all personal freedom. one mom of a student who got that is furious. hear from her coming up next. want to hijack an airplane? there's an app for that. the pilot who says he can take over a plane with a smart phone and he's got the video to prove it. first, happy birthday to our friend action brookland decker. she's a supermodel. brooklyn is also a burrough. burrough. brooklyn decker, 26. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics...

a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure

or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. >>gretchen: it's your shot of the morning. another day, another unique photo shot from russian president vladimir putin. here he is frolicking with his dogs in the snow. a professional photographer took the shots last month but they were just

released. the dogs were gifts from japan and bulgaria. some say he released the pictures to distract putin getting busted looking at a protester. >>steve: hacking, smart phones and computers in japan, turns out a fellow showed a conference via video how he bought stuff on e-bay and was able to create an app where you can use a smart phone to take over an aircraft provided the aircraft is on auto pilot and is being run all by robots. >>brian: it can only work on an droid phones, iphone users, window phone users. you cannot take a plane down. a radio transmitter,

software and a little bit of hacking know-how can take over a plane but a pilot can grab it right back. >>gretchen: if this is true, suddenly not taking off your shoes doesn't matter anymore or taking them off. these phones are not going to be allowed on airplanes if this is actually true. the f.a.a. is denying that you would not -bl able to have that phone with you physically. >>steve: what he says is that the proof of concept -- he says it's true in concept. it works in concept. would not necessarily interfere with a real airplane. he says he doubts the terrorists would be able to figure out how to use this because they're not that smart. the f.a.a. has responded to -- >>gretchen: really? the people involved in 9/11 think the terrorists, unfortunately, were smart. >>steve: any way, the f.a.a. says that it will not work. they had to respond, "it will not work." but the guy made a pretty

good case of it in amsterdam. >>brian: they said it can drop oxygen masks. >>steve: change the air conditioning, make it warmer or colder in the cabin. >>gretchen: if true they are not going to allow you to have phones on planes. >>steve: headlines: our first look, new information about the georgia man who held five fire fighters hostage for hours before being killed by police. investigators say 55-year-old loren brown planned the whole thing for years. cops say brown faked a heart attack to lure fire fighters inside. then he rattled off demands for hours before a swat team stormed the house. cops say brown shot at them first. >>brian: live in north and want welfare? the state moved one step closer requiring background checks. the statehouse passed a

bill to demand back browned checks and it is possible to possible to stap some from receiving welfare. >>gretchen: watch this. >> i looked at it and reading the description of conservatism being that we are the party that wants to restrict all personal freedom struck me as pretty much incorrect. >>gretchen: that definition for 2 down on the cross word on the assignment on liberalism versus conservatism, it was admitted that the definition was completely wrong. my kids bring home those exact same cross word

puzzles. parents, keep a closer eye. >>steve: caught on camera, a small airplane makes an emergency belly landing. the pilot called in to the municipal airport that if he didn't make it, tell his wife he loved her. he was able to walk away from the plane unharmed although i think they're going to have to repay for the bottom of the airplane. we do not think anybody took over that airplane while piloting with a smart phone. >>brian: this is possibly the most serious brawl. in the sixth inning padres game, carlos quentin charges the mound. guess what happens. he doesn't hurt his hand but he breaks his collar

bone. unbelievable. as don mattingly says afterwards it is a 3-2 pitch with two people on. the dodgers beat the padres 3-2. right there his collar bone breaks. unbelievable. some of the damage -- louisville coach rick pitino keeping his word of planning to get a tattoo. pitino promised his players if they won the championship he would get inked in their honor. now to the masters. this guy is 14 years old from china, finishes at 1 over 73. amazing considering he should probably be in ninth grade right now. check out this hole in one by jamie donaldson in the sixth, became the fifth golfer to do this. look at the crowd. tiger woods brought his

fatalities and confirmed tornado in louisiana. that storm system still on the move. more possible severe weather today across parts of north carolina and south carolina. on the northern side of the system, winter storm warnings still in effect. in the u.p. of michigan, you're talking possibly up to a foot of snow. tornado watches still out, virginia, north carolina and south carolina through later this morning. >>steve: maria, thank you for the update. live from the streets of new york city. >>brian: we're going to be making grilled cheese, maria and i later. >>gretchen: another fun-filled week here at "fox & friends." >>brian: from families to fit work. if you missed it, you missed a lot of laughs. steve? >>steve: here's a look back at the week that was on "fox & friends." >>gretchen: nikki fitness is here with a workout you can do at your desk. kwoeup -- anna kooiman

there has been a lost discussion about the fact that we have all these tv shows where we're inside the courtroom. so the expectation of an average american has changed dramatically and that average american can become a juror; correct? >> that is correct. you've seen kind of a change also whereas opposed to where jurors come in they lie to get off a jury. in high profilelie to get on a . >>gretchen: let's look at what you're pointing out in your book which are solutions to the flaws you see in a two-centuries old system. number one appoint judges rather than elect them. why? >> when we talk about judges, mark and i have what we call the front page l. times test. the role for a judge these days is to stay off the front page of the l.a. times. the idea is even if they put out a simple case, if someone asks to lower a bail, the judge thinks if they lower a bail, they

will recommit a time and be on the front page story of the l.a. times. >> and the judge is worried about their job. >>gretchen: a lot of judges, a bigger role in plea bargaining. in what way? >> right now a lot of times in the criminal justice system, federally as well, the prosecutor holds all the cards. the prosecutor can overcharge the heck out of a case and put somebody in a position where you may be innocent but there's way too much of a risk to go to trial because you could end up with life. if you let a judge intervene in that who can try to be the umpire so to speak, i think that would solve some of the problems. >>gretchen: tell jurors about jury nullification. they don't know about that? >> no. we had a fascinating case in san jose where our client beat up a priest. it was a priest who molested him when he was five years old. he got in front of the jury, looked the jury straight in the eye and said i beat him up. the judge tells the jury

they can't consider that, they can't nullify. that's the law. the jury is not allowed to do it. they did it any way. >> in that case they did it any way which is a good thing. >>gretchen: some people would say in recent cases they have seen, o.j. simpson, casey anthony, they felt the system was flawed in the reverse way. >> you know what is interesting, that was an unpopular verdict in both of those cases, the one thing true in both of those cases, the jurors were sequestered, they were not privy to what was going on in the media storm around them. they acquitsed those people because they were following the law. >>gretchen: the book is "mistrial." mark and pat, thanks so much. sequester cuts are canceling 4th of july celebrations across america but that is not what is bothering this democratic chair. you know her. >> put in a good word for the frustration our staff is feeling. we're still in the midst of

blame for three deaths from the midwest to the southeast. this twister caught on camera in mississippi, the storm damaging mobile homes, toppling trees and flipping over an 18-wheeler. in kemper county, mississippi, one person was killed and several others injured after a reported tornado hit a business. that is all is left is metal. debris scattered through the woods across the street. shades of the benghazi terror attack all over again? the obama administration changing the story on the homicide attack that killed american diplomat and four others in afghanistan. the state department now says they were walking on foot at the time of the attack. the family members were initially told they were in an armored vehicle. they blamed the benghazi terror attack on a video before admitting it was terrorism. this morning they are looking into what caused a deadly charter bus crash in texas. two people killed and 40 injuried after the bus slammed in a concrete barrier and flipped over. the bus was packed with

that is new. new news. david piper live with the latest. i understand japan is on high alert at this hour as is south korea. >> reporter: well, that is right. tall countries are on high alert, including in here in south korea. secretary of state kerry has been meeting military and political leaders here in the south today. he has also held a news conference in the last few minutes. at it, he said he wanted to make it clear that the u.s. will if needed defend themselves and also their allies. he went on to say the real goal, though, was on his trip to emphasize the possibilities of peace and reconciliation here. and also a very different future for north korea. he said the u.s. and south korea wanted to see a peaceful korean peninsula and free of nuclear weapons. he called on north korea to live up to the obligations to get rid of the nuclear weapons. this comes as the pentagon moved to down play fears that

the north already can mount a nuclear weapon on a missile. it was revealed of leaked defense in a defense agency study that north korea had moderate confidence that the north had the capability now. a pentagon spokesman said it was inaccurate for the north to show they had fully developed, tested and shown they had such a weapon at this time. kerly will also be visit -- kerry will also visit china. perhaps the only country with influence on pyongyang. kerry said they had huge influence on north korea. despite north korea continuing to raise tensions some people in the south have been out protesting against kerry's visit today. the placards read "stop the hostile policy toward north korea. john kerry, go to north korea." as to north korea, well, they're building up to celebrate the birthday of the founder of the country. kim il sung.

the grandfather of the current leader kim jong un. today they staged a flower and missile display in front of the portrait of the country's founder. for missiles, the latest report suggests they have the medium, intermediate missiles on the east coast ready to fire. but of yet, we haven't heard of any change on that situation. back to you guys in the studio. >> steve: david, thank you very much. flowers and missiles. how pretty, but deadly. >> brian: how could south korea protest john kerry? we are protecting them for free against their belligerent neighbors to the north that could wipe them out. >> steve: you're welcome. >> brian: does it blow you away? >> gretchen: it does. we'll follow the story throughout the day because it's ever-changing every moment. a story we talk about for some time now is sequester and the cuts that came with it. it's now forcing fort bragg to shut down their july 4th celebrations, which have become an institution in that part of the country. it will force new york fleet week to downsize a little bit.

go back to fort bragg for a minute. aapparently it has to do with the overtime costs. they are saying that the overtime costs can run more than $120,000. they are not reimbursable. the federal rules prohibit donations from covering those costs. surely people would come to the table, because everyone likes to have a fourth of july celebration. >> steve: so we told you about the thunderbirds, the blue angels all canceled. a couple of nights, justin timberlake -- >> brian: it went on planned. >> steve: it did. but the white house tours have been so concluded because of the sequester. we'll show a video because of the sequester cuts there are longer lines to get through the magnotometres to get in the building and it's bugging debbie waserman schults the head of d.n.c. she doesn't want her staff to stand in the same line as the little people. the miles per hours on miles p .

to be the chair of the democratic national committee, the mouthpiece, the spoke spokesperson. she wants to get across the sequestration and cutting in general is hurting america including her staff. >> steve: you are being generous, gretchen. talking to the cops saying, "we need an extra line for my staff." remember how she said in public a couple of weeks ago, talking about her staff. the sequest tration thing, my staff can't a -- sequestration thing, my staff can't afford a nice meal on capitol hill. >> brian: listen to this. >> we have employees making a sacrifice to engage in public service as career choice being priced out of being able to actually heat a high-quality meal should not be up with of the channels they face. >> steve: some member of her staff make $100,000 a year. if they can't figure out how to have a good quality meal at a cafeteria at capitol hill they shouldn't in charge of the national budget. >> gretchen: that proves my point.

i don't think i'm being generous to any politician other than to say i think she is bringing this up because she knows the media will cover this and there will be a discussion about the effects of sequestration. that plays in her talking point. >> brian: steve, you are obsessed with north korea. gretchen, you talk about immigration and big gun debate. for me, the number one story is jay-z. goes to cuba with beyonce. i don't know how he got there, why he wanted to go there, who gave him permission. we hear one thing. treasury green light it. they thought it was two people popular, didn't know it was jay-z. turns out he went there and angry that people ask why he went there. if i want to find out the truth behind the story i do what i always do, i look at the rap lyrics. the truth got out. i want to share it with you. we don't have background vocals to sing it with you, but here is what jay- z said -- we do have the vocals. >> steve: we do. want to hear it? >> brian: jay-z, sing the

team knew that learning was definitely a prerequisite. so throughout the campaign, we really focused on getting the knowledge out there. and spreading a community-oriented dialogue about the issue. >> gretchen: so in a moment i want to hear how you did that, but i was fascinated to find out that the national debt is never discussed in normal classes. at least ones that you have been in, right? >> right. >> gretchen: why? >> that is definitely true. and, so u.v.a. was a great opportunity to try and steer our education toward something that was relevant to us. as so many of our initiatives were focused on an out-of-the-classroom experience. still bringing in professors in the community to discuss that. >> gretchen: okay. tell me about the things that you did that earned you the top prize? >> great. so one of our main events was hosting senator mark warner who is a leader in this issue on the hill. he gave a public speech to over 500 students, faculty and community members. that really spurred the

interest even further. in addition to senator warper, we also hosted a series of intimate discussions with our top professors explosionering issues like healthcare, and budgetary policy. and tax revenue and seeing how all of these tie to the national debt. in addition to the discussion based initiatives, we also hosted dock metary sweepings -- documentary screenings. we had a bike work-out on the historical trends of the national debt. and we tried to host a lawn display to make a visual impact for students. >> gretchen: it's always much easier to understand when you see the numbers flashing by quickly. >> absolutely. >> gretchen: let me ask you this. what solutions did you come up with? >> so our campaign wasn't a solution-oriented campaign. because we only had six weeks, we knew that the most impact we could have was just to spread knowledge and get more college students involved in the conversation. so rather than offering

prescriptions, we tried to facilitate a space where students can think of their own ideas and pursue many of the ideas and interests and topics that they are most passionate about. >> gretchen: all right. learning is starting point. hopefully there will be further discussions for young people. maybe you guys can solve it for us. i hope so. leena shi, thank you so much. congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> gretchen: coming up on "fox & friends" -- adorable pictures of pups like you have never seen before. look at that fuz ball! starting on day up with of their lives. but first, on this date in 1982, joan jhett and the black-hearts had the number one song with "i love rock 'n' roll." ♪ ♪ smile so hot ♪ ♪ ask his name [ male announcer ] what are happy kids made of? bikes and balloons, and noodles on spoons. a kite, a breeze, a dunk of grilled cheese. catches and throws,

dollars to fight a threat that i think really is flimsy. >> gretchen: do you read anything in to this in chairman of the joint chiefs mar tip dempsey was asked about the formerly classified piece of information, they do have the capability, this is his response. watch this. >> quoting from the unclassified portion, which i believe has not yet been made public, they say, "d.i.a. assesss with moderate confidence the north currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles. however, the reliability will be low." general, would you agree with that assessment by d.i.a.? >> congressman, with the number of caveats you put on the front end of this, i'm not -- i can't touch that one. i'm not sure now. it hasn't been released. some of it is classified and some is unclassified. let me take it for the record. i haven't seep it. you said it's not publicly released so i choose not to

comment on it. >> gretchen: he said the giant -- do you think the joint chiefs of staff has not seen a classified report? >> i'm sure the chairman of the joint chief knows everything about their capability. he just didn't want to deal with it. he was embarrassed that the congressman has something that was not supposed to be in his hands. >> gretchen: if someone like you is not in -- >> like minutes of the fed released a day early last week. oops. >> gretchen: this is a little more serious. for someone like you who doesn't think the north korean situation is that serious, then what do you make of the interplay between them? you have got the joint chiefs of staff saying you know what? i don't want to acknowledge that the report is out there. it must be somewhat serious? >> the way i see it is general dempsey there, fine man, a great serving officer was embarrassed that the congressman had something he was not supposed to have in his hands. but put that aside, put the procedure aside, put the screw-up in terms of the public relations aside and go to the substance of it. we cannot mobilize for a

but wait a second, listen to the rap of jay-z. >> let's listen. >> brian: the truth-teller and maybe the answer is in the lyrics. >> i guess nothing rhymes with "treasury." because treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know. the white house has nothing to do with it. >> so are you saying he did not, the president did not have a conversation with jay-z? >> i am absolutely saying the white house and the president on down had nothing to do with anybody's travel to cuba. >> brian: i followup, and put you in an awkward plait. do you believe jay-z or jay carney and the treasury run? >> here i am with the back to the wall. to question the literacy accuracy of jay-z lyric is overlook the fact that the treasury really answers to the white house.
