3:00 am
it's saturday, april 13. i'm alisyn camerota. secretary of state john kerry in china asking for help with north korea. but can they or can they not put nukes on a missile? is the administration hiding something? we report. you decide. >>clayton: it's your american college experience at its finest. >> 30% of registration -- really stupid and racist. >> more from the rabid professor spewing hate. >> does he have rabies? jane fonda insulting american soldiers again. wait until you hear her
3:01 am
latest lapse in judgment. "fox & friends" begins right now. >>alisyn: good morning everybody. thanks for joining us. great to be with you guys. how are you? >> alisyn cam rat tafplt coming up in a little white on the show. the song that brings us the most pleasure in life, the ones that when you hear them, you instantly go into a state of euphoria. i know tucker will be straight faced and then suddenly goes wild for it. we have a study that shows you why this happens. we want you to send in your favorite songs. you can't get them out of your head all day long. >> who studies these obvious things? >>clayton: brilliant people. >>alisyn: send us your
3:02 am
favorite songs and ear worms. meanwhile let's talk about what's going on in international relations. secretary of state john kerry is attempting to bring the chinese to our side in terms of north korea. as you know, north korea appears to be readying for a missile launch and some new intelligence came out this week that had everyone very alarmed as to how close they are to arming a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead. >> accidentally actually in a conversation between congressman judge lamborn and dempsey this occurred. >> according to a document which i believe has not been made public they say -- quote -- "d.i.a. asserts with moderate confidence the north has capability by
3:03 am
ballistic missiles. however, the reliability would be hroefplt" general, would you agree with that assessment by d.i.a. >> with the number of caveats you put in front of this one, i'm not going to touch this. i'm not sure it hasn't been released. some classified, some not classified. >> that was supposed to be classified information. did it come from the department of intelligence agency, which seems to be banging the drum that north korea is in fact ready to launch some sort of nuclear weapon. then you have the white house trying to tamp down that fear, jay carney saying we're not sure they're capable of launching a nuclear weapon. a big disconnect. listen. >> obviously the north koreans tested nuclear weapons, and they have developed some missile technology. what they have not done is demonstrate a capacity to, a capability to deploy a
3:04 am
nuclear armed missile, attach a warhead to a missile and fire it. >> it seems to be a weird disconnect. >> the defense intelligence agency assesses with moderate confidence -- >>alisyn: whatever that means, moderate confidence. >> intelligence officials are always chock-full of that. north korea currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles and you have the white house saying the opposite. >>alisyn: the defense intelligence agency let something slip and there was a question as to whether that was classified or unclassified. they have confirmed to fox news it was indeed written, "u" a"u" written next to that paragraph, meaning unclassified. so that was okay to talk about in an open hearing.
3:05 am
but apparently it surprised a lot of lawmakers, and now secretary kerry and the pentagon and white house are trying to tamp it down. >> this also brings up more interesting information about who's helping north korea. trying to bring the chinese to the table doesn't seem to be a smart move because of their longtime help for north korea. but is iran the real problem? is the administration trying to divert attention, as some suggested, from the real problem, iran, as charles krauthammer suggested. listen. >> this is hair-raising stuff. i think it was not supposed to have been made public. if you look at the face of the chairman of the joint chiefs when that question was answered, it looks as if he wanted to be in chicago at that moment. this was not expected. but what it tells you is how little we know. the scary part is obama has been assuring the israelis and the world don't worry about iran because even if they develop enriched uranium, the marrying it to a missile is a different step.
3:06 am
we will know about it and we will preempt. and now they are saying that with north korea, we may not have any idea that they have done this when we were assured for years there wasn't anything of that sort. that means there's no way we can trust our intelligence on how close iran is today. >> we know we can't trust our intelligence. we have a long track record. but can you trust the administration is the question? you seem to have a couple of different narratives. at the very least -- this is evidence it seems to me of a deep lack of seriousness. the posture from the administration from day one on north korea for at least the past two months has been these people are crazy. it is for show. this is a boy king trying to gin support within the country. it does not affect the united states. now a suggestion from an intelligence agency in the executive branch, really may be a threat. so what is it? >>alisyn: you have one public face and they're doing something else behind the scenes. maybe they're not playing their hand, hard to know. but john kerry said we will
3:07 am
prevent them from attacking tokyo, which is what the north koreans have recently threatened, saying their ballistic missiles could be aimed at tokyo. and john kerry is saying we will stand with our allies and prevent that from happening. >> will we prevent south korea from developing a nuclear weapon? that seems the much greater threat. that is what you don't want to talk about, destabilizing asia. south korea winds up with a nuclear weapon and japan rearms, you can see a domino effect taking place here. >>alisyn: scary stuff. we have other news. police in phoenix, arizona, saying a bomb mailed to a sherrif could have been deadly if opened. the explosive was inside a package addressed to a sherrif's downtown office. it never made there thanks to a mail clerk who noticed wires and called police. >> it's a risk that i have to take. i'm not leaving this office. i'm not going, no matter
3:08 am
what they do or what they say, i'm staying. >>alisyn: police say they have a person of interest that they are now looking for. >> the f.b.i. searching the home of former texas justice of the peace in connection with the murders of a prosecutor and his wife. boxes were taken from the home of eric williams at his in-law's house. williams has not been named a suspect but questioned about the murders of mike and cynthia mcclelland as well as mark hasse. tell me about sports. >> we learned the consequences of this brawl. stupid move. zach henke is expected to miss eight weeks and undergo surgery for a collar bone. watch this. it is a 3-2 pitch, very close game. was not trying to hit him.
3:09 am
rushes him. he lowers his shoulder. now he has a broken collar bone as a result of it. he will be suspended for one game as a result of this. >>alisyn: stupid but handsome. >> now he won't be on the mound. he'll be hanging out with a broken collar bone. a pitcher would not want to do that in such a close game, throw a ball, plunk a guy, it was a mistake and happens all the time. >> in the past few years, races have gone extreme. one of the most extreme at city field this morning. rick, what do you see? >> ali, i'm sure when you were in high school you were in some sort of sport. >>alisyn: you mean sit in stadiums and listen to rock bands? yes. >> running up and down the bleachers. i'm outside city field. this is where the mets play. i think part of this race
3:10 am
is to run up and down this stadium many, many times. got a spear here. spear throwing, all kinds of lugging, happy stuff all across the track. we're here this morning doing one of these races. at 8:00 i think i'm going to be running the race. let's talk about the weather. we had a big week of weather with all the severe weather and all of the snow. temperatures still very cold. we've got kind of a nice day today for almost everybody set up. but let me tell you that is going to change again. what we saw happen tweek, we'red of see a repeat of that this coming week. we're talking about say tuesday into wednesday and thursday of this coming week. in the meantime kind of enjoy what you can. there's a few leftover showers across florida from that same storm and there will be a little bit of snow across the great lakes today. that storm you see there pushing into the pacific northwest will be our next big weather maker. the first part will be snow tomorrow across the dakotas.
3:11 am
it is an area that will be seeing flooding again across the red river this year and unfortunately more snow going. that means the flooding we've been expecting will possibly get worse as we go through the next few weeks. much more coming up here and we'll be showing you amazing things people are voluntarily doing. people like alisyn camerota. but i'll do it for her today. >>alisyn: thank you. if you could exercise for me every day, that would be great. >> why does rick have a spear in his hand? >>alisyn: he's going to be apparently doing a set of skill tests. >> with a spear? >>alisyn: and i hope a loin cloth. >>clayton: university of southern california down there in los angeles is the seat of controversy this morning for a professor who was secretly videotaped by a student who knew at the beginning of the semester that, boy, this guy is going to be spewing some left-wing propaganda for most of the semester. so he secretly videotaped
3:12 am
using a button on his shirt. he says some pretty remarkable things about republicans. listen to some of his rants about racism. >> [inaudible] showed you 30% of registration in this state are stupid and racist. republicans are 82% white. you want to know why they're taking insurance in california? republicans are 82% white. the republican party in california as i say all the time, on the record, in print, on the radio and on tv is the last vestige of angry whraoeut people, and that is -- angry white people and that is what this is. >> he seems like an angry old white person for whatever that is worth. why is it okay to attack
3:13 am
white people? if he said the democratic party is 82% black and they're losers, he would be hauled away by the justice division. let's not attack racists. it's too general, too divisive. >>alisyn: he's a political science professor. how about presenting both sides of the coin? how about presenting a different point of view for different policies. the students said they knew this would be a left-wing rant for the entire semester so he took to taping him. the professor is unapologetic. he says i don't care if i was taped. i would say these things again. >> i hope this kid grows up to be a u.s. senator. good for him for taping it. >> you never watched the gary strago show? next on this show, he
3:14 am
dreamed with al qaeda to kill americans. now he's fighting to have group prayer behind bars. group prayer behind bars. does he deserve that right? using telemedical and mobile technologies, verizon innovators are connecting trauma surgeons to patients in the field. helping them get the attention they need, before they even reach the hospital. because the world's biggest challenges deserve even bigger solutions. powerful answers. verizon.
3:15 am
we replaced people with a machine.r,

3:17 am
>> he's trained to kill americans. now american-born terrorist, john walker lindh of california is suing so he can have group prayer five times a day while serving his 20-year prison sentence. lindh claims he's being denied his right to religious freedom. joining me is president of the islamic forum for democracy. the author of "the battle for the soul of islam." he's also a military veteran and a physician and an all-around great guy. thanks a lot for joining us. >> great to be with you, tucker. >>tucker: to be clear, lindh is not being denied his right to pray. he's allowed to pray and does presumably. he's asking for something else. he's asking for corporate
3:18 am
prayer? explain what he wants. >> muslims are encouraged to pray in a group. when there is more than one muslim around, you try to pray in group. this is not a mandatory. even lindh said it is not mandatory. he didn't want to pray in his cell next to his toilet. the obama appointed judge said the state had a compelling interest in making sure he had the freedom to pray back in january, and the warden tried to do this. he gave them the ability to pray three times a day with a group. by the way, 41 prisoners in the unit he's in, 24 or so are muslim. imagine the security addition, the costs, the unfairness to the other prisoners. this is all not about personal freedom, but somehow some group collective right. it's just absurd. >>tucker: this is, as you just said, not just about one person. this is about a larger question, too, of whether prisons are ink bay -- incubators of religious extremism. are they?
3:19 am
>> they are. the aclu is acting as you feel idiots. you had a minnesota chapter that forced a charter school of islam, they ended up shutting down because they were compelling students to pray in group. now the aclu attacks the state from preventing prisoners from paying from groups -- praying in group. remember, this guy's interpretation of islam was to kill our fellow citizens on the battle field when he should have been, i think, killed in capital punishment for his crimes of treason. yet, we're protecting his group rights where a lot of times the group rights of islamic radicals in prison with things that have no oversight are interpretation of islam that breed radicalism where they leave the prison and commit acts of crime and terror against our society. >>tucker: does it strike it odd that the same people
3:20 am
helping lindh spend an equal amount of time or more crushing religious sentiments such as christmas decorations? how does that work? >> there is no consistency and i can't figure it out. it's almost as if they use cases to basically put the government in check and make sure that they are always preventing, using the muslim minority when it suits them. but when personal religious freedom in public where people have not committed acts against the state where they are basically free citizens, can express their personal faiths. it is a disconnect that shows it is not about religious freedom for the aclu but an agenda against security interest interests and organized religion. >>tucker: very smart. thank you for joining us. a flag used by the navy and marine corps but now it's been ordered to come down because it's offensive.
3:21 am
>> thinking about changing that vacation for a get-away. our next guest says the five things you should never put on your credit card. [ engine sputters ] [ dennis ] allstate wants everyone to be protected on the road.
3:22 am
whether you're an allstate customer or not. all you have to do is call. [ female announcer ] call and sign up for good hands roadside assistance today. [ dennis ] are you in good hands?
3:23 am
3:24 am
>>alisyn: welcome back. 24 minutes past the hour. time for quick headlines. migrant rafters rescued off the florida keys by two cruise ships. the disney wonder and the carnival conquest spotted rustic vessels in separate incidents yesterday. conquest picked up 13 cuban nationals and the wonder saved 8 people. and federal health officials taking a second look at the safety of diabetes drug avandia. the f.d.a. put tight restrictions on the drug after it was linked to heart attacks and deaths. a panel is set to discuss
3:25 am
the results of a new study. >>clayton: americans have a whopping $848 billion in credit card debt. while it may seem convenient at the time to charge and pay later there are expenses experts say should never be purchased with plastic. pay attention to these. here to break it down is a retail analyst. she is here bright and early this morning. some of these things i am guilty of and i guess most americans are. >> americans are, if you're a household that carries debt, the average is about $15,000. the savings rate in this country is the lowest it's been since before the recession. we're at 3.7%. a lot of people are putting spending on their card. >>clayton: one of the things people like to save for is college tuition but they also are saving for college tuition. >> it's not guaranteed you're going to have this high-paying job afterwards so the last thing you want to do is put a large bill on your card. my suggestion is if you
3:26 am
can't get a scholarship, get a low-paying interest rate or go to a less is expensive school if you can do that. or if it is really a problem, save your money before you go. >>clayton: i would imagine the college interest rates are much higher than the stafford loan. doesn't make sense. number two, taxes. explain this one. you put taxes on your credit card? >> the i.r.s. makes it very easy to put it on your credit card especially if you owe a lot. the problem is that they also tack on a processing fee somewhere between 2.5% to 3.8%. so not only are you paying your tax bill but you have to pay that possessing fee and the interest rate on your credit card. if you cut a deal with the i.r.s., let's say you do a payment plan, it will be less expensive for you. >>clayton: let's talk about paying for a wedding on your credit card. >> going over your means. everyone wants a great day,
3:27 am
your day of where you shine. but the last thing you want to do is start your life out on a debt. what i suggest is live within your means. go to websites like hundred-layer cake. these are great ways to d.i.y. your wedding without going overboard. >>clayton: vacations, you have that card that you want to get the points or the airline miles or whatever it is. and you get back and oh, boy, you look at that bill. >> you don't want to go over your means here. i suggest either visit a family member or a friend or go to a website like mint.com. they're great. you can go ahead and schedule out, put away money and set goals for yourself, three, six, nine-month goals and save that money for a great vacation. that way you're paying cash for it as opposed to your credit card. >> there is great ipod apps for it. medical bills, the last thing you should not put on your credit card.
3:28 am
>> we all know if you have a preexisting condition, you may not be able to get insurance. i suggest you try to get the cheapest insurance if possible, even if it's just disaster insurance. if you can't do that and you have a huge medical bill, you can cut a deal with the provider, either the hospital or your doctor to try to pay those bills down without having to pay that interest rate that's on your credit card. >>clayton: adding an additional 18% interest rate on your medical bill not something you want to do. hitha, great tips this morning. i will make sure i will not charge that vacation next time. thank you. coming up next on the show, he's charged with killing a man while driving drunk and he's here illegally. now a judge says he doesn't have to stand trial because doe. is this fair? veterans are firing back at the anti-war queen.
3:29 am
what do you think? that's great. it won't take long, will it? no. okay. this, won't take long will it? no, not at all. how many of these can we do on our budget? more than you think. that didn't take very long, did it? this spring, dig in and save. that's nice. post it. already did. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot.
3:30 am
dig in and save with racle-gro potting mix, special buy at o bags for just $10.
3:31 am
3:32 am
get great deals on great gear at bass pro shops. like these summit ii canvas cargo shorts for under $18. take half off these redhead men's waterproof hikers, now under $50. and save $20 on pro qualifier baitcast reels. >> according to a recent report, north korea could fuel and launch a missile at any time. you know, this is a lot of pwhrufter, i'm -- a lot of bluster.
3:33 am
i'm not impressed with their missiles. look at this technology. [speaking foreign language] >> actually high-fructose corn syrup might be more dangerous. >> that might actually work. as a propellant? fantastic. >>tucker: more on that. plus hanoi jane. you know jane fonda. now she is going to be portraying former first lady nancy reagan in an upcoming movie called "the butler." word of this and word of her playing nancy reagan has angered a number of people for her anti-war stance in the past and the way she spoke out openly against veterans, calling them war criminals during the vietnam war. >>clayton: and not just veterans.
3:34 am
p.o.w.'s, people including john mccain and admiral stockdale, people held in cages in north vietnam. she was not only anti-war, she was pro-vietnamese. she was anti-american in the most brutal way. i believe in forgiveness but she has a lot to atone for. >>alisyn: i, in preparing for this segment, read a long treatice she has written in her defense. she has written on a block called janefonda.com which says she was always prosoldier. she was anti-war. she was prosoldier. she said she went to meet with the p.o.w.'s, brought them letters from home. she says that is what she was doing and she was set up by the north vietnamese for some of those pictures. you can read it yourself. >>tucker: that is totally false. i went to the hanoi hilton with p.o.w.'s including john mccain who remember
3:35 am
vividly her attacking them on the radio in north vietnam. >>clayton: and other veterans who said i grew up in an era when my parents would speak about her slamming veterans. larry rea created a facebook because they are so upset about it it's called boycott hanoi jane playing nancy reagan facebook page. listen. >> i made this page to boycott it. i knew they wouldn't change having her in the movie but i wanted to see if enough people were as mad as i am about her portraying nancy reagan. and they are. she tells me to get a life, or tells the vets to get a life. there's 58,000 names on the wall of soldiers and sailors and military men that have died that don't have a life. i wonder if that even makes her think. and it doesn't. >>alisyn: she says that -- first of all, you have to assume this is a bit of provocative casting by the director, knowing
3:36 am
that connotation of having jane fonda play nancy reagan. jane fonda says she contacted nancy reagan and claims the former first lady is happy and helped her answer questions to help her better prepare for the role. it is possible the former first lady is not as upset as these veterans are. >> she didn't spend six years at the hanoi hilton. if you talk to the guys that did, the p.o.w.'s, most of them have forgiven their captors and are not red hot on the subject anymore. but on the subject of jane fonda those guys are still mad. >>clayton: let us know how you feel. friends@foxnews.com and find us on twitter. >>alisyn: let's get to your headlines. the retrial for former egyptian president hosni mubarak ended before it happened because the judge recused himself. mubarak was upbeat and
3:37 am
alert. he suffered health problems and is being held at a military hospital. he is accused of murdering 900 at the arab uprising. >> the flag used by the navy and marine corps since 1775 has been removed because it's offensive. a group of veterans in new rochelle, new york, had this flag raised over an armory there. the town forced them to take it down claiming it is a tea party symbol with a right-wing slant. the veterans are fighting back saying the flag is patriotic. >> is your teenager heading to the prom this year? they will have to take a breathalyzer test first. an indiana high school forcing students to take a breath test before they go inside the prom. the chesterton high school principal came up with this idea after six kids showed up drunk at a homecoming. the school says if the
3:38 am
tests are successful at prom they will do mandatory breathalyzer tests at all school dances. >> what do you think about this? we are halfway through the 2013 masters at this hour and tiger woods looking for his fifth green jacket and is in prime position struggling a little bit but 3 under for the tournament so far. that's just three strokes off the lead right now. 14-year-old chinese player lon wong made the cut. his mom even brought him a care package because you forget to eat when you're out there. the team is sitting at four oefrs despite being given a penalty. the young player is the youngest to play. his mom brought him a lunch
3:39 am
box because you forget to eat out there. he said mom, i'm not eating get out of here. she said honey, you need to have some snacks and you need to eat a little bit. cute. would you do that for me? >>alisyn: as i do. as you know, i let you have half of my breakfast. i'm glad you brought that up, clayton. every saturday. >>clayton: you're a good mom. >>tucker: let's check in with rick now. >> hey, guys. i'm at a spartan race. these spartan races are these extreme physical challenges that people are undertaking voluntarily. alisyn was all about that. i've got the founder and creator of this thing. 650,000 people you say are going to run spartan races this year? >> yes, all around the world. >> it is pretty incredible. you also somehow finnagleed
3:40 am
this stadium to let you do this. that's a pretty big deal. you got 18,000 people? >> we don't know how many people will finish. >> what is the ratio of who start and finish? >> depends on the weather. if there is bad weather you lose a few thousand people. >> you're an extreme athlete. you do ultra marathons. ultra marathons are taking off like people who think the 26 miles is a wimpy thing and you run 100 miles instead? >> one time i had a friend convince me to run 300. >> that is crazy. one of the challenges is this wall. i said that doesn't look like much of a challenge. start it. let's see if we can start and go across this wall at the same time. >> it's a peg wall. >> i think of a peg wall like you had in high school. you climb up. >> get it in there.
3:41 am
>> are you hitting all the holes here? >> do what you can do. you need help? are you all right? >> so far i'm all right. i haven't made a move yet, so i'm fine. we'll see what happens next. >> worse than it looks, right? >> if you get out of my next hole, i got a place to go. >> are you good? >> yeah. i'm good. okay. joe's got to get going. guys, this is one of the challenges. at 8:00 supposedly we're going to try to go all the way through this course and see how it goes. and depending how much we can get the camera guy going, we'll see what we can do. back to you. >>clayton: rick, is that a square peg in a round hole? >>alisyn: that's harder than it looks.
3:42 am
the reason it looks easy is because it's one inch off the ground. usually you see people going up. but that's hard to hold yourself on to those little pegs. >>clayton: we need to set the camera so you can't see the ground next time. live from the empire state building. coming up here on the show, just name the most overpaid celebrity. can you guess who it is? send us your answers on twitter. ff weekend. what did thomas jefferson invent? you've got three minutes to freshen up on your founding fathers trivia. then jefferson joins us next. >>tucker: happy birthday, >>tucker: happy birthday, president jefferson. try running four.ning a restaurant is hard,

3:48 am
go ahead. >> certainly. my first question is deceptively simple. it is how many births days do i have? i'm not asking how old i am. how many birthdays. if you're born on may 10, you have one birthday. how many birthdays do i have? >>alisyn: take it, tucker. >>tucker: you are 270 years old, so i would suggest you've had 269 birthdays. >> that's not what i mean. if your birthday is december 1, that's your birth date no matter how many times you celebrate it. >>alisyn: we're cheating because we see the answer. you have two different birthdays. >> you have to be careful with my questions. i'm a lawyer. >>alisyn: why are your birthdays april 2 and april 13? >> when i was nine years old the alcohol -- the colonies changed the calendar depending on which way the planets moved.

>>clayton: next question? >> the next question is botanical having to do with my garden. what fruit previously thought by many to be poisonous or even immoral was the kind of fruit that i helped to popularize and even convince americans that it was nutritious and tasted good? >>tucker: that would be the tomato, a member of the nightshade family. >> correct. >>clayton: number three on the quiz list. go ahead, mr. president. >> certainly. during my service as president of the united states, which -- this is a multiple choice. which of the following actions represent the way in which i differed from the two presidents who had preceded me, mr. adams and his excellency, general washington. first, a, i shook people's hands when i greeted them. b, i lived in what is now known as the white house in washington, d.c.
3:50 am
c, i believed that there should be no political parties. or, d, i believed that education was absolutely essential to the survival of a republic like ours. >>tucker: i'm going to be with b, you are the first person to live in the white house. >>alisyn: i'm going with a. >> a is correct. john adams was the first person to live in the -- >>clayton: ali. >>tucker: just for the record, tomatoes are still immoral. >> tomatoes are known in some quarters, and in my day they were known often as the love apple. >>clayton: that was my nickname in college. >>alisyn: mr. president, thank you so much for joining us. happy birthday. have a wonderful celebration tonight. >> thank you. >>tucker: he is charged with killing while driving drunk and he's here illegally. despite that a judge says
3:51 am
he doesn't have to stand trial because he doesn't speak english. is that fair? >>clayton: fleet week canceled and the obama administration blames the sequester. so how come the president's cabinet is giving more money than ever to the money than ever to the united nations? using telemedical and mobile technologies, verizon innovators are connecting trauma surgeons to patients in the field. helping them get the attention they need, before they even reach the hospital. because the world's biggest challenges deserve even bigger solutions. powerful answers. verizon.

3:55 am
this? >> the only thing more incompetent than this defendant is the judge who made this ruling. he has now given license for anybody who comes into this country illegally to play dumb to avoid justice. that is what this is about. this is what incompetency statutes are supposed to cover. >>alisyn: arthur, how do you defend it? >> our producer who created this controversy left out one word: yet. >>alisyn: he -- it's been two years. >> they want to make sure a human being who is about to spend his life in jail understands what's going on around him because it is the united states of america. not america. >> he's had an interpreter for two years. >> he's due back in court, i believe, in june. >>alisyn: why did it take two years to figure out the defendant had a language issue? >> it took two years to find out that. >>alisyn: because the courts are so clogged. >> jane fonda is playing

4:01 am
i need a hero. is that fair? we report. you decide. don't jump in yet. wait for it. >>alisyn: okay. >>clayton: "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day! >>tucker: it is the only way. that and coffee. coffee is ordered. wake up the kids. alisyn camerota and clayton morris. >>alisyn: the president's budget has come out this morning. people are going through it line by line. here's an interesting item in the president's budget: we are giving $7.9 billion -- this is projected for 2013 -- to the united nations. every year it goes up. we have a graph to show you how much money we have given to the united nations. this is projected for 2013.
4:02 am
but it has been $49.2 billion over the past ten years, and it's fair to say is that money well spent? >>tucker: what does it get us? not only does the united nations hate us, attempt to thwart our will, undo our way of living, there is no justification for its so-called aid to the third world. africa, for example, has become consistently poorer, less healthy, more disorganized, more violent ever since the u.n. was founded. i would love to sit down to the president and say give me a rationale for giving $8 billion to the united nations. >>clayton: and how do you justify that when you're also cutting white house tours and fleet week and having to close the washington monument so americans can't go and actually enjoy their national parks and their monuments and see the white house and all these things. some of them, yes, may be small in money but when you compare the amount of money
4:03 am
we're giving to the united nations, why are we giving money to the united nations when we can't fund things in the u.s.? >>alisyn: is it the reason to justify this that it's force of habit and pulling back would be a statement of provocation if you would say to the world stage you're not going to play by these rules anymore. >>tucker: you hit it right on the head. it's force of habit. giving money to the u.n. is like sending in money to npr during pledge week for liberals, something all decent people do. we're not exactly sure where the money goes, but we don't really want to know. we know it's a good thing. in the cold light of day, it's not justifiable. it's not a good thing. >>clayton: and the increases year after year. it's built in we're going to have a 2% increase in the funding we give to each of these places. we take it for granted. when someone does the hand wringing and says we don't want to do this increase this year, people say that's outrageous. you're going to do cuts to the united nations?
4:04 am
that's outrageous. >>alisyn: and the u.s. gives more money than any other country and gets often shabby treatment. >>tucker: they're on the east side of manhattan, the united nations and every year the post does a story on how the diplomats triple park and never pay parking tickets. how are they immune from that? >>alisyn: in recent years, that's been the least of their offenses. >>tucker: they're like drunk all day. there was a directive to diplomats to stop drinking so much in the morning. i'm serious. i guess you need to drink to be in the u.n. >>alisyn: let's get to your headlines. we have a fox news alert. incredible pictures just in to fox news, a plane crash-land in the water off of the island of bali and indonesia. 108 people on board. everyone survived.
4:05 am
22 people were hurt and taken to local hospitals. officials say the plane missed the runway as it came in for a landing and crashed into shallow water. the crash caused the back quickly evacuatedeak the cabin. the cause of this is being investigated. >> as the world waits for a potential missile test from north korea, secretary of state john kerry is in china meeting with top leader in hopes that they can deescalate the rising tensions. kerry and china's president agree it is a critical moment in peace negotiations. >> obviously there are enormously challenging issues in front of us, and i look forward to having that conversation with you today and lift this conversation up, broaden it and define for both of us what the model relationship can be and how two great powers can work effectively

4:07 am
sexist. we've reached out to marvel but have not gotten a response. >>tucker: so many people license marvel, you can go to the mall, hot top *eublg *eublg -- hot topic and you can get the shirts and put those images on it. marvel may not be doing it themselves. do you think it's sexist? >>alisyn: i'm a damsel in distress. >>clayton: i'm deeply offended/outraeupbled -- outraged by these t-shirts. >>clayton: extreme sports are more popular than ever. we checked in with rick and he had a spear in hand. what happened to your spear? >> going against that wall, i spent the last 30 minutes trying to master that wall

and i will not be able to move my forearms or close my hands for a good two days, i'm sure. can't do anything else for the rest of the day so let's talk about the weather. we've got a storm moving in in the pacific northwest and it will be our next big weather maker this week. it will have a similar track and similar impact to the storm we saw last week. we're talking very cold temperatures across the intermountain west, across the rockies and the plains. we're going to be seeing temperatures below freezing and snow by the time we get to wednesday and possibly another severe weather outbreak. today looking pretty good. the northeast warming up a little bit. we'll see 50's and 60's returning and more sunshine after that very rain day yesterday. down to the southeast we're talking about a little bit of leftover showers from that same front that will kind of stall across south florida. it will be a little muggy with 83 in miami. the rest of the south looking very sunny. tomorrow the rain returns. into the northern plains, a
4:09 am
few leftover snow flurries. big snow tomorrow across parts of north dakota and northern minnesota. that will exacerbate potential flood problems we have coming in the next few weeks. guys, we have much more coming back here from the spartan race. other tricks i can show you at 7:30. >>alisyn: thanks, rick. take care. meanwhile, let's talk about this. a comic legend passed away. i remember jonathan winters from when i was a child. my father laughing as we watched television because jonathan winters had this incredible knack of being able to impersonate anything from a baby to an old woman. he could do it all. let's give you a little taste of the comic genius of jonathan winters. >> hi there, jonathan winters here and happy to introduce america's sweetheart. that lovable maud friggart. >> watch it clown.

[laughter] >> they really stare. >> here's something fun. okay. clean up aisle 6. >> i'm hurt. >> i know you are. but you killed a man with four fingers on his head. >> let me finish my eggs and i'll be out to kill you. they love that humor. >> robin williams loved his humor so much so and you can see the influence on his style of cocked, brought him to the mork and mindy show. even growing up, listening to the smurfs, did the voice of papa smurf.
4:11 am

>> have the p.c. police infiltrated the pentagon? the man behind the massacre at fort hood reportedly shouted akbar before wounding 32 of our nation's heroes. he also proclaimed himself a soldier of allah. >> why is the government still calling it workplace violence? jack keane, a four-star general and fox news analyst joins us now. "the new york post" raising this question this week that the pentagon is being too politically correct and it's entering sort of a dangerous bit of territory. do you buy that argument? what do you think? >> i don't know what their motivations are in terms of political correctness, but i do know this: they are dead wrong on this issue. has san is a self-rad
4:16 am
self-radicalized muslim extremist and took a weapon in his hand and killed his teammates in the name of ideology. that by definition is terrorism. he's an alarmist extremist to be sure and this goes way beyond any description of workplace violence. >>tucker: general, you said it yourself. he exhibited indications that he had these extreme religious/political views. they are on display. other people noticed them. yet, he wasn't sanctioned, counseled or separated. why? >> the army has no guidance on how to deal with radical extremism. it does in terms of racial extremism. all that said, inside our military organizations, in the chain of command, anything that violates the good order and discipline of that organization or with -- would limit its ability to perform its mission, should be reported. that person should be
4:17 am
counseled, reprimanded, if the behavior doesn't change separated or court-martialed. there was nothing stopping the chain of command from doing that. they should have done that and were dead wrong for not having done that. >>clayton: want to get your take on the latest bluster out of the north korea and the back of forth we're hearing between the different agencies. you have the intelligence agency saying one thing. then you have the c.i.a. sort of in the middle and then the state department led by john kerry saying something different. what do you make of north korea's nuclear capabilities and the obama administration's response? >> it's hard to arm wrestle different viewpoints and technicalties of where they are precisely now. we know therg trying to weaponnize their nuclear programs. let's make this assumption that they are making progress toward that end and eventually they will get there, with the ability to put it on top of a ballistic missile. whether they have the reach
4:18 am
of that missile, that's also suspect because that is evolving in terms of their technical capability. they have short range, medium range and long range missiles and that technology is evolving. >>tucker: how worn would you say it is for the united states government to present a united face to the rest of the world? here you have the pentagon saying one thing about north korea's missile capability, the white house saying another. what kind of message does that send to our enemies abroad? >> i think most people can sort through it frankly. the real issue here is the administration deserves some credit for showing some resolve and steadfastness and not doing what we have done in the past. that is north korea's strident speech, provocative acts gains attention, and normally we give concessions after some diplomatic talks. we may be heading down that road, even though we have shown steadfast and resolve, because the president of south korea
4:19 am
has expressed that viewpoint to her legislature and i'm sure she is expressing it to secretary kerry. i think that would be a big mistake to give this guy concessions in the face of what he's been doing. that is what we have done in the past, and that's why we continue to have these chapters of this kind of behavior because he kind of gets what he wants from it. >>tucker: makes threats, we concede, and then we four years later do the same thing all over again. general keane, great to see you here on "fox & friends." thanks for waking up this morning. >>clayton: on the rundown, president obama wants you to pay your, quote, fair share in taxes and yet he paid only 18.4%. that was his rate. much lower than yours maybe. is that fair? >>tucker: the i.r.s. now says it won't read your e-mail without a warrant. the website is telling a [ lisa ] my name's lisa, and chantix helped me quit.

late tax freedom day will be. this year april 18 is the day when americans will have worked long enough to pay off their federal-state taxes for the year. there you go, ali. >>alisyn: the i.r.s. now denies that they can search your e-mails without a warrant. but according to the manual posted on the i.r.s. website, the agency does not need a warrant to read your e-mails or monitor your facebook page or your tweets. so which one is it? joining us is the lawyer and author of "i know who you are and i saw what you did," laurie andrews. hi, laurie. >> the legal standard is based upon whether you have a legal expectation of privacy. people make their facebook information public. so the i.r.s., it can look at that, and it looks to see if you bought an expensive motorcycle. so you may have more cash than you're saying. it looks to see if on that business trip you deducted you were actually chugging back margaritas.
4:25 am
>>alisyn: facebook and twitter, those are public and you can log on to those and get a glimpse of what somebody's been doing. what about your e-mails? the i.r.s. claims they're not going through your e-mails. however, in newly disclosed documents to the aclu, they found that americans enjoy -- quote -- "generally no privacy in their e-mails if the i.r.s. wants to look through them." >> that's a stunning finding. there was one court case, a federal court case which said your e-mails need to be protected because lovers send sweet nothings over e-mail. businessmen send their ambitious corporate plans over e-mail. one federal court has protected it with just that language. another federal court said you should consider your e-mail to be like a postcard available to anyone. we may see some pulling back by the i.r.s. right now because congress is threatening to regulate them and to require a warrant. they would need a warrant to get your phone records or they would need a
4:26 am
warrant to check your mail. and we are now using e-mail in ways that we used to use our phone and our mail. but right now federal courts in different parts of the country are reaching different decisions about whether it's okay for a law enforcement to go in, take a peek without a warrant. >>alisyn: that's why it's khreubgted because the courts -- complicated because the courts ruled different things. the i.r.s. said they only check your twitter feed or facebook page if there is some sort of red flag your return raised. isn't that giving them cover? can't they just say we saw a red flag somewhere so we went in? >> absolutely. they say in their manual they should check to see if you have some other source of business. if on my facebook page or elsewhere on the internet i say i'm doing standup comedy on the weekend or i can be used as someone to videotape your wedding, they will search for those sort of things, this digital tracking of you. that, they've already said
4:27 am
in their own materials in terms of training agents. they are not the only ones. police more generally, investigators are doing it. they are doing things to locate people. in one case police wanted to serve a warrant on someone and they monitored her high school reunion facebook page to see when she would be coming back to town and there she is with her new dress and they slapped her with a warrant. >>alisyn: i.r.s. said to fox news our job is to administer the nation's tax laws and we treat people with respect. the i.r.s. did not use e-mails to target taxpayers. any suggestion to the contrary is wrong. do you believe them? >> i think that there's wiggle room now, depending what state people are in. a new york judge, it's just like a postcard. here's the problem: the privacy law doesn't protect you sufficiently if you disclose another person.
4:28 am
so some judges are saying if you e-mail someone, that's like a disclosure to another person. it's no longer private. that's just wrong because after all, we protect what i say to my doctor or my lawyer. but it's called a third-party exception. and even justice sotomayor. u.s. supreme court has said we need to consider that and think differently about it. >>alisyn: it sounds like a handsome loophole the i.r.s. is able to use. thanks so much for coming in and explaining this to us. up next on the rundown, jesse watters heads to detroit to find out why it is a city in chaos. >> it is a crime that you can't get e.m.s. >>alisyn: can the motor city make a comeback? talk about a success story, he posted a video on youtube showing off his amazing kicking skills.

4:34 am
detroit and what happened for the past 50 years. democrats have been in control of the city there for 50 years. it currently owes close to $14 billion. it is in the negative category there. the former mayor just convicted last month on many widespread corruption charges, including getting kickbacks. >>clayton: taking money and putting it towards his kid's schooling, taking money from a city that is already broke. >>tucker: people often attribute detroit's collapse to the decline of the auto industry, the decline of the industrial base and the race riots in 1967. but the truth is you compare detroit to pittsburgh whose phafg -- manufacturing totally disappeared and you understand it is bad leadership. coleman young, the author of detroit's destruction. >>clayton: jesse watters went to detroit to investigate exactly what
4:35 am
has gone wrong. >> 32 murders in 15 days. >> it's bad. crime, you can't get e.m.s. i'll just be real about it. we can put billions and billions of dollars overseas and rebuild people's economies, but not put one quarter into our cities. >> there's five things people want. a clean city, safe city, education and also protection, police and fire. >> we found out these have never been inspected. all the ladders are grounded. if you're on the third floor, good luck getting out. guys will answer calls. while they're answering calls, people will grab the hooks, ladders, the chain saws because there is no police unit available to back them up. >> in detroit if you're a victim of a crime they're going to be waiting for the police to show up. >>tucker: imagine the e.m.s. won't show up, not enough fire fighters to help you.

4:37 am
way. in the meantime, let's look at your headlines. president obama and vice president biden just released their they are the the -- released their 2012 tax returns. the obamas reported an income of just shy of $608,000 and paid $112,000 in taxes. they donated about $150,000 in taxes, this makes the president's income race 18.4%. how is that possible? that's down 2% from last year. how can the president be paying 18.4% when people in his income bracket are supposed to be paying 39.6. >>tucker: i don't know. but i want to talk to his accountant. >>alisyn: joe biden and his wife jill reported their income. it was $385,000 in income. they paid nearly $88,000 in taxes. they donated about $7,200 to charity, including dough thaeuted pots and -- donated pots and pans.

4:40 am
race. hey, rick. >> it probably depend on how big the clown's mouth is also. i would think that might add to the pressure, clayton. the spartan race, these crazy races where people do all kinds of obstacles and put themselves through all kinds of incredible physical challenges. some of these races are between 7 and 15 miles long. is that correct? >> yes. >> she is like a veteran. they call you the boss. >> they call me the boss because i'm the leader. i set the tone, i set the standards. i get the team going. i pufp them -- pump them up. >> how many people are on your team? >> about 400. we're worldwide with over 600 members. >> why the spartan race? >> it is the best. it is a difficult challenge. it gets us out, gets us off the couch. it gives us something different to do. we like challenges and we like to push ourselves. >> this isn't just for the people who are incredibly physically fit like clayton

>> welcome back today. the third u.s. president thomas jefferson turns the big 270. looks so young, doesn't he. the presidential historian nick ragone is here to look at some of the founding fathers greatest accomplishments. growing up in philadelphia, i'm well aware of the area right near independence hall where thomas jefferson holed up for a long while and wrote the declaration of independence. i guess perhaps his greatest accomplishment; right? >> yeah. i'd have to say it's very rare when you have a president whose greatest accomplishment occurred before the presidency but that was the case, i think most historians agree, with thomas jefferson. you know, the declaration of independence is maybe the most important document in our nation's history. it set us apart from england. it charted a course for us. jefferson wrote that mostly alone. he got some help. john adams and a few others edited it.
4:47 am
>>clayton: didn't he ask for it to be written on his gravestone? wanted to make sure his legacy was intact. >> he wrote his own gravestone. he had three accomplishments on his grave stopb. none had to do with the presidency. he wrote the religious statute of freedom and founding the university of virginia. >>clayton: remarkable when you think what he did chartering lewis and clarke and the louisiana purchase, not an easy thing to do. >> there was one defining moment in his eight years in office as president, the acquisition of the louisiana purchase. what is interesting, philosophically he was a state's right, limited government guy and didn't believe the federal government had the power to make large acquisitions like that. but he also knew a great deal when he saw one and knew napoleon wanted to get rid of that land and it would transform our country. he put aside philosophical problems he had with it and did the deal.
4:48 am
he wrestled with it but ultimately figured it was the right thing for the country and turned out to be one of the most historic moments in our nation's history. >>clayton: when george washington he eschewed political parties here is jefferson found the democratic party. >> he created that party and put the infrastructure in place for it to be a nationwide party. as you said, washington didn't like partisan politics. alexander hamilton was a little bit different. jefferson and hamilton had always been rivals and jefferson created, it was called the republican party. it is really the democratic party that exists today. interesting enough, if you look at a lot of republicans today, including reagan, they cited jefferson as their philosophical heir because of states' rights and limited approach. >>clayton: keep government out of my business was his mantra. he had a massive library after his death and after
4:49 am
the library of congress burned down, did a lot to rebuild the nation's library. >> he had a 15,000-book library, the largest private collection in the country. when the library of congress burned down, he donated that large collection. jefferson lived a life of extravagance but he wasn't a wealthy man. his estate was broke. he liked to buy wine and books. the book collection was one of his great lasting legacies. >>clayton: he goes to paris and runs up the credit card so to speak. we can learn a lot from thomas jefferson and his life. nick ragone, always great to see you. coming up here on the show, eighth graders assigned a cross word puzzle that defines conservatism as restricting personal freedoms. one mother furious over what her student is being taught is going to join us. does it matter where you sit on a plane? you may have to fight for your seat if you like the most popular seat on board. we'll tell you which is the most popular seat on an

4:54 am
she's in eighth grade. to this point, the school she's at has been, i felt, teaching things pretty fairly. i've always been involved. i followed along her school work. i was absolutely shocked. the cross word was completely filled out already and she had gotten all the answers right which, to me, was even more scary because she does have some political knowledge, being as though i am very active in politics. that told me that even a child with this kind of knowledge was able to fill it out in this skewed way, which teals me that it has been taught negatively previously in her schooling. >>tucker: not just negatively. liberalism was defined as allowing people personal freedoms. conservatism defined as taking it away. it is not conservatism
4:55 am
restricting where people can eat, what kind of toilets they can have. did you point this out? >> i did. another point i wanted to make is it was way more than this cross word puzzle. since then i received the almost 50-page lesson. that definition is used probably a dozen times or more throughout that lesson with a lot of other negative things completely factless, inaccuracies, rewriting history. liberal democrats taking credit for the civil rights act, not mentioning their filibuster of it. it's just -- it goes on and on. it's horribly inaccurate. it's skewed. i'm still floored that it was ever taught in a school. and the fact that it was published in 2004 for 6th to 12th grade. i don't imagine how many thousands or possibly millions of kids have been taught with this curriculum. >>alisyn: when you
4:56 am
discovered this, you went to the school and told them your concerns. what was the reaction? >> actually, luckily i have a friend who has a talk show in milwaukee and i called her and said what do i do. she talked about it on the air and the school called me because they received about four phone calls. >>alisyn: before you go on, let me read to you their statement and get you to respond. here is the statement from the superintendent at union grove elementary school we have encouraged parent's feedback. we regret any dispwraoufl associated with this particular assignment. we will continue to evaluate materials used in the class room. were you satisfied with this response? >> yes. i have been told that they have pulled that lesson and will not use it anymore. i've also been told that the -- i don't know if curriculum uses brokers or i'm not sure exactly how this all works -- i'm still learning about this -- but

5:05 am
>> we play 22% of the costs. think with if we jack hammered the entire thing it would be better and let it float to whatever country wants to have it. united nations is an ineffective worthless paperer tiger when it comes to dealing with crisis around the world. when you put people, countries like iran to monitor freedom, it becomes really a caricature of itself. that is sad part. we have increased united nations budget by 4%. we'll spend $7.5 billion on it this year. it just doesn't make sense when we are cutting back everything do mess particularly to be spending on an organization in very nature it is corrupt. >> tucker: the obama administration intentionally, a while we're cutting other things including the pentagon budget. there must be some reason to see

number one, i don't smoke. afraid the doctor is going to tell them, scold them. >> some people out there consider themselves social smokers, they don't smoke every day and bum a cigarette every now and then, the truth is no level of smoking is safe for you, smoking anywhere from one to four cigarettes a day can increase your chances of getting a heart related disease by three-fold. so, really, you need to be aware of the dangers of smoking. >> that's great. and your doctor could look for the warning signs of that. next, the doctor always asks you, how many drinks a day do you have or drinks a week and people lowball it. >> alisyn: they do, it's interesting because the c.d.c. defines moderate drinking of having one drink for a woman. if you have two drinks as a woman, that makes you a heavy drinker. >> alisyn: a day. >> alisyn: yes. >> and four or more drinks for a woman or man constitutes a
6:27 am
binge drinker. and the drinking and binge drinking there are a lot of health risks, including potential liver damage, heart disease and addiction of course. >> alisyn: tell your doctor that one. and many people think they're eating a healthy diet when you tell the doctor. >> we're following fad diets because we want to lose weight quickly and that can be dangerous, because when you go on an extreme diet or take some of the cleanses, a lot of times that can kind of impact your protein levels and kidney function and it may have you lose muscle mass and sometimes you have to talk to your doctor and chances are, he can give you maybe an expert you should be talking to, for example, a registered dietician and that person can get you on the right track in a healthy manner. >> alisyn: that's a great point. if you're on any sort of diet, you must tell your doctor. next, they would ask you, are you taking any medication? sometimes i think that women
6:28 am
forget to say some supplements or something that they're taking if it's over-the-counter, you don't think it counts. >> especially herbal supplements and vitamins. if he or she are prescribing her medication, there are times they can interact, the herbal supplements or vitamins may make your medications stronger other weaker, that's why you have to have the dialog. >> alisyn: you can read about this in shape magazine. >> thank you. >> alisyn: and hanoi jane tells a group of veterans to get a life and those veterans are firing back at the anti-war queen. amazing video, a car outside of 7-eleven burns wild. disturbing details how it started, that's ahead. do you wonder why you fall in love with a song and can't get it out of your head. and the silence to addiction to some songs.

6:33 am
forces, she's not doing a good job of that. when she was posing with the north vietnamese and basically calling our soldiers there war criminals and got the name hanoi jane as a result of it. now, once again, angering veterans telling them to get a life and to basically layoff of her now that she's playing nancy reagan in a new movie set to hit theaters soon. >> tucker: one of the veterans who founded boycott hanoi jane playing nancy reagan, he explained the reaction he got from jane fonda, i made this page to boycott it, i knew they wouldn't change having her in the movie, but i wanted to see if enough people were as mad as i am about her portraying nancy reagan and they are. she tells me to get a life or the vets to get a life. there are 58,000 names on the
6:34 am
wall of soldiers and sailors and military men that have died that don't have a life. i wonder if that even makes her think, and it doesn't. >> alisyn: obviously, we've always heard about what jane fonda did during the the vietnam war and seen the pictures and i've never known her side of the story and what motivated to do it. because i knew we were doing this, and jane fonda.com, she lays out a long explanations and apologizes and how foolhardy the pictures were and regrets it and motivated in 1972 to go there. it's interesting. if you're interesting in hearing all of these years later her explanation what she thought she was doing there. and veterans haven't forgotten it. >> especially ones held in north vietnam as prisoners of wars, john mccain. and he has forgiven his captors and established
6:35 am
relations once again. i don't think that he's forgiven jane fonda and he says, and talked to others who say the same thing, she specifically attacked them while in north vietnam, attacked them as baby killers and agencies of imperialism, horrible, horrible, let's be clear, this is not a case of she opposed the vietnam war, a lot of decent people did, this is taking the extra step attacking our troops. >> clayton: and governor huckabee thinks she will have to atone for this the rest of her life. >> there's never an apology that will ever take care of the grief over 50,000 american mothe families, whose husbands and and uncles never came back. and she wasn't saying the war was wrong, she was saying our soldiers tortured and murder, i'm standing with the people who did the torture and
6:36 am
murder, and that's a line you don't cross. maybe a word to jane fonda, shut your pie hole. >> alisyn: and jane fonda reached out to nancy reagan, according to jane fonda, is happy she's portraying her and answered questions to help portray her accurately. this is ginning up interest in the movie "the butler" you may never have heard about otherwise. >> tucker: that may be the point. >> clayton: we'll have more on that, e-mail us friend friends@foxnews.com. >> alisyn: and a truly shocking video. a man's car set on fire with him inside. this was the scene yesterday outside of a 7-eleven in long beach, california. witnesses say that a the driver was sitting inside the s.u.v. and a homeless man threw something inside bursting into flames.
6:37 am
a good samaritan pulled him from the s.u.v. and he's suffering from burns, and critical condition. police say it's a random act of violence. and police say the bomb sent to sheriff joe arpaio could have been large, but a mail carrier found it. >> that's a risk i have to take. i'm not going -- leaving this office, no matter what they do or say, i'm staying. >> and they have a person of interest they're looking for now. all right, comic book t-shirts causing a controversy. and marvel are selling these, boys shirts declare be a hero, and for women, girls, "i need
6:38 am
a hero", think it's sexist and no comment. >> tucker: there's a distinction between sexist and sexy and not for the first time may have confused the two. >> alisyn: you think the t-shirts are sexy. >> tucker: i think maybe the intended effect. >> alisyn: and you'll love clayton's underwear. >> clayton: i'm wearing the ones that say "i need a hero". and news out of the spartan race and just completed one of the rounds and you're out of breath and we have videotape trying to compete in this, rick, are you out of breath and able to talk. >> i can barely talk, five minutes of rest, i'm tired, a headache, i've got my hero, jen, she runs these brave hearts and you guided me through this and wouldn't have done it without you pushing me. >> i couldn't have done it without you, that's what teamwork is about. >> i'm not going to let her

>> tucker: they were taking tourists out and saw a ten foot snake and didn't think twice of jumping into the water to kill it. >> clayton: and joining us are the boat operators, welcome. >> just reading over the information this is common practice like us getting out of bed and getting a bagel. you see a python and you jump in. >> yeah, we-- i just grew up in that area, so, i mean, i've seen it all. you know, from big alligators, big snakes, big mammals and it's kind of desensitized to that, it's no big deal, it's hollywood, but it's in real life at that point. and just, we weren't going to have time to be scared in the first place. the snake was getting away at that point. >> tucker: wait a second, i'm sorry, af he got to call you on that one. you jumped out of a boat on to the back of a ten foot python. at some point you made a
6:46 am
conscious decision honestly to risk your life. that could bring you under pretty easily. why didn't you do this? >> where we do our tours of do have captive snakes, we handle them, it's not the first time. >> it's not i jumped out as soon as i saw and got a rage and had to attack the snake. i mean, we made sure, it was the family that spotted it first and we let them know, hey, this is exotic, we've got to get this out. is this okay? they knew what was going on i didn't just immediately jump out of the boat. if i would have done that, the snake would have gotten away and been afraid. i w i was careful when i was ambushing the snake and-- they're very fast. >> alisyn: why didn't you guys do what i would have done and that is just ignore it. >> well because honestly, you don't live down here. this is our home, and the fact is, the burmese python is
6:47 am
eating our native species, our birds and mammals and the snakes are disrupting the balance, our eco system, eating our rabbits, our otters, our wading birds and that's our ecology it's disrupting and our economy. down here our ecology is a big part of our economy so it's all of those, it wasn't me trying to kill a snake, that's not how i-- how i operate, the fact it was disrupting the environment i'm a part of it. >> clayton: i've got to ask you, the tour group got their money's worth. >> absolutely. >> and like going whale watching not seeing a whale. >> tucker: or harpooning a whale. >> you don't jump on them. >> what was the response in the boat? >> on the video they're like, wow they just, at first they thought it was part of the show, you know, part of the tour and like that happens all the time and it's got. it was a one in a million
6:48 am
chance. and it was just, like i said we let hem know what was going on. we wouldn't have done it if they felt uncomfortable if i were alone or he were alone we wouldn't have done it. we would have called up the proper authorities and let them know hey we saw a big snake, but you don't take on something unless you have backup or a way-- >> how do you call or how did you cull the 10-foot python. >> to kill it the right way, the humane way, you want to cut the head off as clean and as quickly as you can, and damage the brain because sometimes the body can be an active. if you damage the brain there's no harm. no more pain and ends the suffering and that's why the wrestling and jujitsu came in handy, i couldn't grab it and hand it to warren and say make the cut because he's flailing all over the place and i had to make sure the snake was
6:49 am
subdued before we could attempt something like that, so, you know, there was some wrestling and that kind of thing first. >> where do they come from? we don't live there and don't know-- >> they originate in southeast >> and how do they get there, people bring them as pets and escape and that's what happens. >> mostly, it's an irresponsible pet ownership and they get too large to handle or feed and instead of killing them or turning them into a zoo and they breed here and they don't have any enemies, and the population soars. >> watching you guys make short order of this snake reminds me of a kid's be birthd party where they take a balloon, it can be a hot dog or-- >> the snake was doing that to me. turning me into all sorts of shapes. >> alisyn: you didn't know it was ten feet long when you started to tackle, amazing
6:50 am
that you guys did it, amazing that the tourist caught it on camera for us, tommy owen and warren, thank you. >> clayton: and my kid's birthday is coming up if you do birthdays. >> cool. >> tucker: bring your python, have python will travel. >> clayton: you guys are awesome. >> thank you. >> tucker: a shocking development at the masters, tiger's comeback supposed to be in full effect. just in, breaking news that could hurt his chances dramatically. >> alisyn: do you ever wonder why you fall in love with a certain song and you can't get it out of your head. and the science behind it ahead. ♪ using telemedical and mobile technologies, verizon innovators

6:55 am
i'll have to get back to you. on this one was appalling, and literally they're training troops before they went to afghanistan and training that evangelical christians and mormons were list together with hamas, al-qaeda and the ku klux klan and that's appalling and when we asked the secretary about it and whether or not we should protect against it, he just had no response. >> tucker: so the idea is anyone with strong religious beliefs, is under religious extremist and they're all the same. if you can't make distinctions between mormons and al-qaeda, how can you fight to protect the united states from crazy people? >> well, that's a great point, but the other thing is, tucker, remember, this pentagon also has issued express orders to commanders for the first time ever that they can't even disclose aperfected accessible programs under the chapel's office. so of we've got a two step process, one relates to faith at all where you can't even
6:56 am
talk about it, but secondly, we're putting the groups that support faith situations, we're putting them in the category of extremist groups and that's just wrong. we put a provision in, the defense bill that would protect it and the secretary couldn't give us an answer whether they're going to enforce it or not. we're attacked by extremists and lose our religious liberty. that's unfair, congressman, appreciate it. >> thanks, have a great day. >> tucker: more "fox & friends" in two minutes. stay tuned.
