want to stay tuned. >>steve: benghazi witnesses revealing even more, and what one says could shake up the obama administration big-time. what we know this morning next. >>brian: we are breaking for bargains. the cheapest cars you can now own, you can own over five years. it's revealed on our plaza. "fox & friends" starts now. >>steve: how could thee women live inside a house in cleveland for close to ten years without anybody knowing it? that is our fox news alert this morning. they are all out, and they are safe. they are all currently in fair condition at a cleveland area hospital. >>brian: they are amanda barry, 27 years old,

abducted at 17. gina dejesus, believed to be 24. and michelle knight missing in 2000 when she was 20. people thought i think she ran away. she's 30 years old. gretchen, there is somebody else involved. there is a baby. >>gretchen: there is a six-year-old child involved as well. authorities have not said -- we have taken her identity away, but the prevailing theory is that that is amanda barry's six-year-old daughter. i'll leave it to the minds of the people out there as to who the father might be. here are the people who will be questioned: a 52-year-old man who lived in this whom. ostensibly these three women have been tied up for ten years. tied up. and this is just blocks away from where they disappeared from. i mean, unbelievable. two other brothers related to this man, 50 and 54, are in custody right now. >>steve: more on them in a moment. first let's tell you how

they did escape. last night a woman who lives across the street was sitting on her neighbor's front porch. she saw across the street an arm come out of the front door, start waving and then started yelling help me, help me. my name is amanda barry. a fellow named charles ramsey came over, helped them. the bad guy who had been holding them for close to ten years took off and was arrested in mcdonald's. this # 11 call was made by amanda barry when she got across the street at the neighbor's house. >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years. i'm here. i'm free now across the street. i'm using the phone. >> stay there with those neighbors. >> can you help me? okay. >> talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. hello?

>> yeah. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. >> [inaudible] as soon as we get a car open. >> i need them now before he gets back. >> we're sending them now. who is the guy who went out? >> his name is [inaudible] >> how old is he? >> he's like 52. i'm amanda berry. i've been on the news for the last ten years. >> i got that. you say what was his name again? >> ariel castro. >>brian: they couldn't get the screen open. charles ramsey was trying to get her out. anna tajada was sitting across the street when she heard someone kicking and screaming. she said this is how you get the screen out. when she says i am amanda berry. she said, no, amanda berry is dead. charles ramsey was coming back from mcdonald's when he heard the screams and he

went over. here's how it sounded. >> went to mcdonald's, came home. i'm eating at mcdonald's. i got the day off from work so naturally you're doing nothing. i hear this girl screaming, and she's going nuts. i look to come outside, and i know there's nobody that's supposed to be screaming next door to my house because there is no girl that lives in that house. that is a dead give away that something is wrong. when i came to the front door and looked at her, she said my name is amanda berry, please get me out of this house. i said whatever. i help her get out of the house. i ain't thinking that is the girl that is missing. you've been gone for so long. you're lying. she called the police and they came. they took her fingerprint sample and blood sample. it was her. she said it was two more girls up in the house. now, i don't know this. i just helped her out. >> you're correct. gina dejesus and a woman

named michelle knight. you've been living next door to this house. had you known there were any people -- >> no. because i would have pulled this heroic stuff last year. >>gretchen: amazing. he said he had barbecues with this so-called man who lived there, ariel castro over the years and had no idea. the women disappeared, at least one of them, just a couple blocks away. we're going to have an aunt say they canvassed this neighborhood time and time again. of course these girls were probably in the basement at the time. there's reports that ariel castro was a former school bus driver, to add more scaryness to any parent watching. >>steve: amanda berry currently age 27. it looks like she disappeared when she was 16 years old. she had been working at the neighborhood burger king, part-time job. interestingly enough, a couple of months after she

went missing, her cell phone was used to call her money. and then shortly after she was kidnapped, within the year, then gina dejesus also disappeared. she was a seventh grader at wilbur wright middle school. she had in special ed classes and decided to walk home that day. >>brian: amanda berry called home to say she got a ride home from the fast food restaurant she was working in and that was the last time anyone heard from her. amanda's mom passed away. she was on oprah's show and talked about it. they said the stress of not knowing what happened to amanda killed her. michelle knight missing since the year 2000. they were trying to figure out if she was a run-away. >>gretchen: you have to wonder how these girls could be in that home for that long. how were they fed? how were they clothed? how did one of them

potentially have a baby. that baby never went to the hospital ostensibly. it is amazing they could be done there and these people could be -- at least one of them of these three brothers could be that great at being a secret for ten years. unbelievable. >>brian: we're going to talk to the cousin shortly. meanwhile jennifer picard, berry's best friend, here is her reaction. >> i'm her best friend. i was working with her at b.k. the first day that she went missing, we walked out and we had a smoke. we were going to party because it was her birthday and she never came home. she walked down the street. i never seen her again. we've been friends for all this time and i've been waiting for her to come home for a long, long time. i was there. i was the last person she talked to. i felt horrible because i felt like it was my fault. if i could have stopped it, she would have been [inaudible] >>steve: the first two

girls, gina and amanda, disappeared within a five-block area. in 2004, interestingly enough, montel williams had a psychic, silvia brown, on his program who declared that amanda berry was dead. we don't have an image for michelle knight, who is to the right. it's interesting, her mother, it sounds like, was looking for her pretty much on her own. the conventional wisdom was she probably took off after she lost custody of her son. her mother didn't believe that, though. she said we were always close and never believed the daughter would disappear without a trace or a phone call. >>brian: we thought we would be leading with benghazi today because we're going to have testimony all this week about what went on. was it possible to save those four lives and all those who were wounded, all the investigation, moving it forward. it's going to be explosive. but this store broke last night around 8:00 eastern time is what we're leading with. >>gretchen: we'll continue to follow this throughout the day.

we're going to be speaking to a relative coming up in a couple of moments. we will get to benghazi as well. other headlines. those three whistle-blowers who refuseed to stay silent about the benghazi terror attack are going to testify. one of the whistle-blowers, gregory hicks, is expected to contradict early administration claims that benghazi was not a terrorist attack. it's creating awkward moments for the administration. >> can you just say are greg hicks and mark thompson credible people? are they not longstanding premier state department employees? are they credible? >> i'm not going to assess one individual or another. these are some folks who have said they're going to come out and tell a story to congress. and our message -- let me finish. let me finish. our message is we've always encouraged state department employees who want to share their personal story to tell the truth, period. >>gretchen: the obama administration said the hearing coming up tomorrow is purely political.

a sad end to a missing grandmother in d.c. her remains were found in a wooded area near national airport. she disappeared after landing at the airport friday. she was seen on surveillance video getting off her flight but never made it to baggage claim to meet her daughter. police believe she wandered off airport property to a nearby trail. >> the f.b.i. says lives were potentially saved with a suspected terrorist arrest in minnesota. a 24-year-old arrested friday after investigators searched his home and found a cachet of explosives including molotov cocktails and an assault rifle. his father says the feds have it all wrong. >> we are peaceful people. we are not out to blow up the world and none of this [bleep] >>gretchen: police say a sign in front of his home with letters b.s.m., with

reference to the black snake militia. he is now charged with possession of a firearm. >> the mother of tsarnaev wants him to be buried in russia. the news comes after funeral homes refuse to take his remains. >> it is the best idea. the uncle would like to do that. the parents would like to do that. i'm sure the u.s.a. would like to do that. >>gretchen: one of three friends charged with helping tamerlan's brother dzhokhar has been released from jail. 19-year-old robel phillipos is accused of lying to federal agents when they questioned him about the disposal of items from dzhokhar's dorm room days after the bombing. he posted a $100,000 bond, will be on house arrest until his trial. and those are your headlines. before we go to break, a

>> i'm amanda berry. >> you need police, fire or ambulance? >> police. >> what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped. i've been missing for ten years. i'm here. i'm free now. >>gretchen: the call from a young woman who had been kept captive for ten years along with two other women. that was amanda berry, michelle knight, gina dejesus, found in cleveland last night on the west side amazingly only a few blocks from where at least one of them was abducted.

>>brian: you think of what happened to them for ten years, elizabeth smart. they say there is no way you survive but they came back. they say the younger you are when you're kidnapped, the more susceptible you are to brain washing. but these were older, older young women. 17, 20 and 14. >>steve: what's so extraordinary is between the three of them, they were held an average of ten years inside that house. we just heard a little clip of amanda berry pictured screen left there when she made the 911 call. even though she had presumably been inside that house at 22 on 7se -- 2207 seymour, the operator said i think you're calling from 2210.

look at those row houses. across the street is a church. across from there is a great big interstate. a lot of people have been through -- that neighborhood. charles ramsey was there when he saw a woman stick her hand outside the door and said i'm amanda berry. listen. >> i look and see this girl. she's going nuts on the door. i said what's your problem? you stuck? open the door. she said i can't. he's got it locked. i look and it's only enough to reach a hand out and grab the mail. we tried to pry it open. that didn't work. we had to kick open the bottom. luckily it was aluminum. it was cheap. she climbed out. we went to my house and called 911. she climbed out with her daughter. >>gretchen: you heard her mention her daughter. there is a fourth person involved in this situation. a six-year-old little girl who ostensibly is the

daughter of amanda berry. the father, could it be the man who abducted him? people are saying could it be ariel castro who owns that home along with his brothers. could it be there is a young child involved? >>brian: we'll find out what that basement must be like, the harrowing tale of staying in one place for the last ten years and how no one in the neighborhood could have found out. fascinating to talk about what they're going to go through too because the trauma these three have gone through, maybe four with the daughter who is six years old is unquantifiable. i look forward to hearing, seeing how they are. how did they get free? number two, how were they holed up for ten years? >>gretchen: we're going to talk to dr. keith ablow in a few moments. how did they have the wherewithal to want to be found? so on we hear about the stockholm syndrome where they want to be with their captor. even if they're in the public they don't say

anything. >>brian: she was watching television. i've been on television. they have been looking for me for ten years. >>steve: the big question is whether or not they were allowed to actually go outside. meanwhile brand-new information about the prime suspect arrested in the case. >> following this case all night, amanda berry identified him in her frantic phone call to police. his name according to amanda was ariel castro. the 52-year-old lived in this two-story cleveland house with those three missing girls. he was a school bus driver until last november. neighbors say that the quiet man left his house always dark with the shades blocking the windows, and at least one of those windows, we're being told, was boarded up. castro would usually park his motorcycle or a pickup truck in the back of his house. he would lock the gate and then enter that home through the backdoor. no one ever in that neighborhood suspected

anything, at least that's what they're telling us. even charles ramsey, the man who rescued amanda berry. >> you've been living next door to thatouse. had you known there were any people -- >> no. because i would have pulled this heroic stuff last year. >> you know him? >> yeah. >> you thought he lived there by himself? >> yes. yes. that's what i'm saying, to hear some noise come from next door, that makes no sense when i know you live there by yourself. >> castro's uncle is speaking out. he believes his nephew knew one of the women. castro used to play bass in a band that performed at one of the girl's family's clubs. julio castro said that he is still in shock over this and never wants to see his nephew again. >> i feel terrible because he's my family. we're from a big family, and we never thought that something like this could happen within our family.

those girls never show their face to anybody. to no one. i don't know how he kept them all these years. it's unbelievable. >> meantime, castro's son brings another very strange twist to this story. ariel anthony castro wrote an article back in 2004 about the disappearance of dejesus. at the time he was studying journalism at bowling green university. the article reads in part -- quote -- "for seven weeks gina's family has been organizing searches. despite the many tips and rumors that have been circulating in the neighborhood, there has been no sign of her. one thing is for certain, however. almost everyone feels a connection with the family, and gina's disappearance has the whole area talking." police also arrested the prime suspect, two brothers. one we're being told is 50 years old. the other one is older at 54. more information about them is expected to be released at the press conference this morning at 9 a.m.

back to you guys. >>brian: joining us on the phone is dr. keith ablow. dr. ablow, from what you've seen, ten years, three girls in their teens. ten years later. what are they going to be going through beginning today? >> they're going to be going through initially feeling tremendously relieved, obviously to be out of that house of horrors. and then, you know, the depression that can set in obviously. in order to survive there, they needed to do so many mental tricks that the lower level of the energy that's coursing through their brains and mind, they're subject to depression. they're subject to the fact that this emergency is over -- quote unquote -- but now they're going to realize a decade of my life, all these traumas that no doubt unfolded in that house. and questions about why didn't i do something

sooner? all of these irrational thoughts when in fact there wasn't anything to do sooner. they were obviously ready to go at any time. >>gretchen: how do you rationalize that? let's say they were tied up or chained or something worse for the last ten years in a basement. one of them may have even had a child during that time, which is unbelievable as a mother that you could have a baby in a house and nobody would ever know about it. having said that, how could it be that they didn't appear, at least one of them, to have that stockholm syndrome where they didn't want to be found? >> well, the stockholm syndrome relies on someone being both cruel and kind to you to some extent in equal measure, if you will, so you say you know what, this person is talking to me and seems rational and i can get good things by kind of adopting his point of view. i'd like to, you know, be part of the winning team, the hostage taker, not the

hostage. here, number one, there were three of them to counsel each other when he wasn't there. secondly, it's not clear how much he was there to begin with. thirdly, he may have missed the boat thankfully and not really given them anything to like about them. >>steve: absolutely. one other thing, since there were three young women in the house, and presumably they were all trying to get out all the time, he must have had some sort of psychological, you know, grip on them saying, if you try to escape, i'm going to kill the other two girls or something else to keep them from just banging down the door or throwing a chair out the window. >> yeah. if the place was boarded up, it's not clear what they had access to. were they tied up all the time except when he was there? he may have bought time at certain points and said, listen, i'm going to let you go on your birthday. i'm going to let you go when the baby -- if god

forbid, which i guess you'd have to think it's his or some assailant. i'm going to let you go when the baby turns two months old. there are some psychological strategies he may have employed in a clumsy manner. >>gretchen: we have other questions for you. unfortunately we have to go. one thing i want to know is how could these three brothers never tell anyone else? not one of them tell a secret at all. that question coming up with dr. ablow later on in the show. >>brian: next on our rundown, a new stunning report. immigration overhaul could cost up to $6 trillion if you believe that study. can we afford that? stuart varney is on deck. >>steve: when is it okay for your parents to get rid of your childhood memories? you know, yearbook, report cards, teddy bears. kobe bryant has an answer, and it's a lot different than his mom's answer. probably different than brian kilmeade's mother's answer.

>>brian: nearly two years after a florida jury found casey anthony not guilty of murdering her daughter the judge speaking out. judge belvin perry says he was so shocked with the verdict, he had to read it twice. >> i wanted to make sure that my eyes were not fooling me. a little bit of disbelief,

shock. i always knew that was a possibility. whether she got away with something or not, the ultimate judge of that will be the judge of judges. she knows what happened. she has to live with it. >>brian: casey anthony's attorney says he and casey are concerned about this and disgusted by the judge's comments. >> kobe bryant facing it off the court with his own mommy. she's trying to sell his high school memorabilia. kobe trying to block the sale saying she doesn't have the right to sell his trophies, his old uniforms. she said you gave them to me and told me to keep them. when i tried to give them to his ex-wife. she said you hold on to him. the case hits the court on thursday. the hard part is he's already spent half the money. steve? >>steve: a new report from the heritage foundation saying

legalizing immigration is going to cost the country trillions and trillions of dollars. >>gretchen: stuart varney, host of varney and company on the fox business network, here to break it down. the big number is $6 trillion. >> $6.3 trillion. you cannot dismiss heritage as a fringe group. they are very much mainstream. you cannot dismiss that number because it is going to be dropped into the middle of the immigration debate. it is going to have impact. basically here's what heritage is saying. if you have mass immigration of low-skilled people, it will cost your society a lot of money if you've got a welfare state. you're going to be paying out all kinds of benefits to this mass immigration that arrives on our shores. >>gretchen: what they're talking about is if this bill is passed, some sort of immigration bill that would make the 11-million plus people who are here illegally now suddenly legal. >> i'm not going to say there are holes to the study but caveats.

it assumes immigrants stay at that low-skilled level for the rest of their lives. not necessarily true. number two, it assumes all 11 million will get citizenship. not the case. many will be rejected. number three, it assumes there will be no reform of benefits down the road. you can't say that. number four, it throwing everything into the cost side of the equation including immigrant use of highways and police force, for example. there's a lot of caveats. >>steve: the suggestion is can we really afford this? the argument on the other side is these people are here, they're paying taxes. when you look at the amount of taxes they pay, i think i heard for every dollar they pay in, they get three dollars worth of benefits. >> that's according to the study, that they actually will receive $9 trillion worth of benefits over their entire lifetime, pay in $3 trillion in taxes, leaving a net $6 trillion -- >>gretchen: it will be interesting to see what

they cost society. there's got to be a cost associated with that as well. for another time. we will check you out on the fox business network at 9:20. have a great show, stu. >>steve: next, the man who says our $17 trillion debt is a good thing for america. >>gretchen: we're breaking for a bargain, the cheapest cars you can own over five years coming up next. are we going to parallel are we going to parallel park those as well?

>> you might think you're getting the best bang for your buck on your new car, but did you consider what that car is going to cost you over the next five years? >> joining us is jessica

anderson, associate editor from kip linger. you determine what the cheapest cost is over five years, not the cheapest cost which many people determine. >> what we're looking at is stuff like fuel cost, maintenance or repairs, all the other ownership costs, like financing your car, taxes and fees you're going to pay up front, the opportunity costs of not investing that cost elsewhere and finally depreciation. >>steve: let's start with the first car. it's a kia. >> the kia forte is just above $16,000. you're going to get 166 horses out of this car and still get 34 miles per gallon. the interior and cargo space is on size with a larger car, mid size. you've got u.s.b. port and blue tooth standard. >> next car we have a ford fusion. it is a top safety

pick-plus. that's a new category that everyone has been looking at; right? >> exactly. for the top safety pick plus, you're going to get a little bit more, one more crash test in there to make sure this car is really safe. for 2013 it gets a beautiful redesign. sporty. 170 horses and still gets 34 miles per gallon. >>steve: the next car is a lexus. the sticker price is something like $39,000. yet over five years it is one of the cheapest cars to own. >> definitely a best value. this is the first time lexus has done a hybrid version of the e.s. 200 horsepower is kind of insane. it gets 40 miles per gallon combined. lots of luxury inside. >> the next car, we have a toyota. this is a toyota high lander, about $31,170.

>> you can fit seven people in this car. if you've got a bigger brood, this is the one for you. and it comes with a lot of standard features, so you've got a power driver seat, standard blue tooth, standard rear view camera which is great if you've got kids. you want to make sure nobody is behind when you're backing up. makes it easier to get out of tough parking spaces. the car has seven air bags. >>steve: how many cup holders? >> in this one i'm not sure. maybe 10 or 12. >>steve: probably you're right. the four cars that will cost you the least over the next five years. thank you very much. very nice. from the streets of new york city into studio e. >>gretchen: coming up on the show, the very latest on our top story, the three women who escaped a living nightmare.

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. big news day today. it's tuesday, may 7. thank you for deciding to share your time with us. i'm gretchen carlson 6789 fox news alert for you, three kidnapped women missing for ten years, one of them longer. they escape. their captor alive. >> i need help. >> what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years and i'm here. i'm free now. >> gretchen: chilling. where have they been? how did they get away? what happened over the last decade? we're covering all the developing details as they come in. >> brian: locked up for a decade and no one nearby noticed? >> so you've been living next

door? >> no. i'd have pulled this heroic stuff last year. >> brian: what they saw and why these girls weren't found for so long. that story coming up. >> steve: has everybody scratching their head. senator joe manchin not afraid to speak out on beth sides of the aisle, but still getting tough criticism at a town hall. >> we have one of the most anti-administrations in the white house right now. i want to remind you, you haven't helped in that office. >> steve: mr. manchin and democratic senator here to respond to that guy. "fox & friends" hour two for tuesday starts right now. >> brian: if you were up and about about 8:00 o'clock eastern time last night, you heard the story. after ten years, three women thought to be dead, known to be

missing. everyone left out hope they would be alive, the impossible happened. michelle knight, amanda berry, gina dejesus all alive and kept in the basement in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. >> gretchen: talking about cleveland, ohio. just outside the downtown area on the west side, unbelievably, one of those young girls, gina dejesus, was abducted just a few blocks away from where she's been living now for the last ten years and one of them may have had a child while she was there. there was a six-year-old little girl who was also found in this home last night. here is amanda berry. there is the picture of the little girl we have disguised the face. that's amanda berry in the center and her sister to the left of her. >> brian: in the hospital. >> gretchen: amanda berry called 91 is after she was able to get out of the home with help from a neighbor. listen to this chilling call. >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> you need police, fire or ambulance? n i need police.

>> okay. what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years and i'm here. i'm free now. >> stay there with the neighbors. >> okay. >> talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. hello? >> yeah. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. we're going to send one as soon as we get a car open. >> no, i need them now as soon as he gets back -- >> who is the guy who went out? >> his name is aerial castro. >> how old is he? >> he's like 52. >> all right. and -- >> i'm amanda berry. i've been in the news for the last ten years. >> i got that. >> with gina. >> what was his name again? >> aerial castro. >> apparently aerial castro was a school bus driver in the cleveland area up until last

november. the next-door neighbor, a guy who lived there for many, many years, never saw three women living in there. fellow named charles ramsey saw some commotion last night on that front porch. an arm came out and eventually he kicked down the door. here is his story regarding amanda berry and the other two women. >> went to mcdonald's, came home. i'm eating there and i got the day off from work. so naturally you're doing nothing. i hear this girl screaming and she going nuts. so i come outside and i know there is nobody that's supposed to be screaming next door to my house because there is no girl that lives in the house. so that's a dead give away there is something wrong. when i came to the front door and looked at her, she said, my name is amanda berry. please, get me out of this house. so i'm like, whatever. so i helped her get out of the house. i ain't think you're really that girl that missing. you been gone for so long. you think you lying.

she called the police and she came and they took her fingerprint, blood sample and came back, it was her. then she said it was two more girls up in the house. now, i don't know this. i just helped her. >> you're correct. gina dejesus and then a woman named michelle knight. so you've been living there and not knowing there were any people? >> no, 'cause i would have done this last year. >> steve: charles ramsey. >> gretchen: unbelievable story. here are the women. amanda berry has been found. she was abducted when she was 17 years old. then you have gina dejesus found, abducted when she was 14. and then you have michelle knight, who is now 30, abducted when she was 19. many people thought she was a run away. her mom has been look for her with not a lot of help because they thought it was a custody battle that she lost custody of her son and thought she disappeared. not so. she's apparently been in this house with these other women for

more than ten years. >> steve: you know what? they had linked the two girls screen left together, amanda and gina. they both disappeared within a five block area. they never made the connection to michelle knight until last night. fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. where do you want to start? >> we'll start with basics. even though the crime occurred ten years ago, it's what's called a continuing crime. so the statute of limitations doesn't start to tick until this morning when the crime ended. so there is no issue oh, this is more than ten years after they were abducted because the abduction continued until they were released. secondly, the neighbors have a right to remain silent. anybody who knows about this has a right to remain silent, but you wonder if there is a point where silent approaches complicity, where natural human curiousity would say why are the shades down. >> brian: why is there nobody there?

>> exactly. there is no crime for failing to articulate. you wonder what the police knew or you want to have known because they knew to arrest these two guys immediately, as soon as -- three guy, as soon as the girls were released. they obviously had some suspicion and they obviously had some evidence, but not enough until this morning. >> brian: is that true, that they had suspicion or if you get the one brother who lived there and owned the house and he turns around and says yeah, my two brothers are in there, too, you can pick somebody up like that? >> yes. it's reasonable that what's called a cited utterance. somebody saying something that's probably true. they didn't think about it at the time, i didn't do it, but my brother did. that's enough for the police to arrest right then and there. it makes you wonder who else knew about this. was there a conspiracy of silence and that's something the police are going to have to look at now because if there was a conspiracy of silence, it aided the crime. it lengthened the time and the oppressive conditions of

confinement. >> gretchen: because we don't know, did one of these brothers allegedly did all the abductions? did they each do one independently allegedly? did the brothers come into the situation later on? but the idea that three brothers could keep quiet for more than ten years, almost inconceivable. >> the police will take the person with the least culpability among the three and offer that person a deal in return for testifying against the other two. this is a case of probably a guilty plea and probably incarceration for life on the part of two of them, if one of them cuts a deal, otherwise on the part of allly. >> brian: these three traumatized girls, young ladies now, are in the hospital. you're the police investigator. how do you do it with sensitivity, but yet urgency? >> very difficult to question them because there is a lot of repressed information, feelings, emotions and memories. >> brian: who diodes whether to go -- decides whether to go

forward? >> investigators do. they will talk to physicians who and minuted them. cleveland is a big city. they probably have experienced investigators who, though they may not have confronted something like this, are familiar with traumatized victims and how to get information out in a timely manner without adding to the trauma. you have ten years worth of information to come out of these three women. >> steve: you got to figure they're starting to tell their stories to the cops this morning. >> i would think so and i would hope so. >> steve: judge napolitano, thank you very much. >> of course. >> steve: meanwhile, the other big story, rocking washington tomorrow, as three whistle blowers get ready to testify before congress on the benghazi terrorist attacks. kelly wright live in washington with a preview of tomorrow. >> good morning to you, brian and gretchen. the three whistle blowers are all considered to be members of the u.s. state department. eric nordstrom, a security officer gave his testimony during last october's hearing. greg hicks was the deputy chief mission at the u.s. embassy in libya. he was second to ambassador chris stevens and one of the

last to speak to stevens before he was killed. mark thompson, former marine and senior official in the state department's counterterrorism bureau, hicks claims aides to president obama lied about the benghazi attacks and their initial public statements and thompson will testify that secretary of state hillary clinton was trying to marginalize the counterterrorism bureau. but former counterterrorism chief, daniel benjamin, told fox news, quote, i ran the bureau then. and i can say now with certainty as the former coordinator for counterterrorism that this charge is simply untrue. at no time was the bureau sidelined or otherwise kept from carrying out its task. the state department claims it's encouraging the whistle blowers to testify about their reports and those are reports coming out tomorrow and to go forward with that, but they're facing stiff opposition, according to some. james rosen asked about this. >> can you just say, are greg

hicks and mark thompson credible people? are they not long-standing career state department employees? are they credible? >> again, i'm not going to assess one individual or another. these are some folks who have said they're going to come out and tell a story to congress and our message -- let me finish. >> do they still work here? >> our message is, we always encourage state department employees who want to share their personal story, whether that be to congress, tell the truth, period. >> and that truth will be coming out tomorrow. the hearing gets underway then. steve, brian, gretchen. >> steve: and folks will be able to see it here on the channel. kelly, thank you. >> gretchen: now today's other headlines for you, a survivor of a deadly limo fire in california speaking out this morning, saying their driver could have done more to save the five women who died. >> i told him the fire came out. there was already a fire to stop the car. stop the car. >> gretchen: that woman was one of nine out celebrating a

friend's wedding when their limo burst into flames. once the driver pulled over, she says he just got out and left them to escape on their own. but the driver says he helped pull victims out. >> they had music on in the back. she knocked on the thing, like i said, i thought she wanted to smoke a cigarette. to look at it was very horrific, you know. something that you never want to go through. >> gretchen: the driver says when someone opened the back door, it fueled the fire. officials say it will take weeks to determine the cause of the fire. this is the last image of 83-year-old victoria, alive. surveillance camera capturing that photo friday moments after she got off an airplane at reagan airport in d.c sadly, she was found dead yesterday not far from the airport in a wooded area. police say her death does not appear to be suspicious. her family says she may have been suffering from early stages of dementia and american airlines should have had arm to

arm assistance for her at reagan. they said that service was never requested. f.b.i. says lives were potentially saved with a suspected terrorist arrest. he was arrested friday after investigators searched his home and found explosives, including molatov cocktails and assault rifle. his father sids the feds have it all wrong. >> we are peaceful people. we are not out to blow up the world. none of this (bleep). >> gretchen: police say a sign in front of home had bsmn reference to a antigovernment group called the black snake militia. he's charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm but more charges could be possible. those are your headlines today. >> steve: next up, the very latest on our fox news alert, three women missing for a decade in a house of horrors found alive. we'll speak with the cousin of one of the women between the

chilling connection between her family and one of the guys who was arrested. >> the white house says workplace violence. the push to label the fort hood shootings, even democrats are on board 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

>> i'm most worried. i just want to see her. that's it. i just want to see her. >> steve: oh, man.

on the phone right now, we've got sylvia, a cousin of gina dejesus, one of the missing women found alive last night in that house of horrors in cleveland. sylvia, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: did you ever think this story was going to end like this? i mean, she had been held in that house for ten years, nobody knew where she was. >> nobody knew where she was, but i don't think anybody in our family ever gave up. more importantly, gina's mother never gave up. nancy has always believed her daughter was alive. she always felt that she would see her again. so when somebody is that sure of something, as sure as you can be, you kind of have to follow that lead and our family certainly did. >> brian: what were the circumstances of her abduction? >> i think that none of us are really -- are you talking about -- >> brian: how did you think it happened? what was the last time you had spoken to gina?

>> in 2004 when she was abducted. i think -- we all believed that she was definitely probably abducted. i think gina's mom always thought probably the same thing. there was never a belief that anything other than that could happen. >> gretchen: the amazing thing is that she was found in this home not very far away at all from where she was abducted and from relatives in your family, and your family knows this castro family, the alleged abductor is aerial castro, who lived in this home, your family knows the castro family? >> yes. >> gretchen: in what way? >> i think that my family grew up in the same neighborhood that that family did. so they know them just 'cause they grew up together. >> brian: how would you characterize him? what kind of character? >> i personally don't know him, but quite frankly, i think the

real story here is that these women prevailed. they lived. ten years, they managed to stay alive. i'm sure lifting each other up every day to stay alive and that's the real story. not so much talking about somebody who is not a factor. the real important thing is that these women have prevailed. they lived. >> steve: absolutely. sylvia, a cousin of gina dejesus, who was abducted walking home from middle school those many years ago, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: congratulations. she's alive. awesome. >> brian: up next, the man who says our $17 trillion in debt is a good thing for america. he'll make you think twice, though. >> gretchen: then when is it okay for your parents to get rid of your childhood stuff, like yearbooks and report cards? i'm so glad my mom kept mine.

malibu ecos. the buick lacrosse, buick regals, equipped with an e assist hybrid system. it's what gretchen needs. steve? >> steve: print that money. combine the federal government's debt with all the cities, counties and states all across the country and you'll get a number somewhere near $140 trillion. that's combined debt of all those entities. but before you cringe, our next guest says government debt is actually a good thing. kevin williamson is the author of "the end is near and it's going to be awesome" and joins us. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: let's start with the book title. what are you talking about? >> well, i'm talking about that a lot of what we think of as being traditionally what the federal government does is going to come to a close in a fairly short order, i think. simply because the numbers are financially not sustainable. i don't want to say i think debt is a good thing. i don't think that's good at all. i think debt is potentially a unionous thing for our country. but to the extent that

collapsing government finances have the ability to get done what the political process hasn't gotten done the last 40 or 50 years, it might be helpful. >> steve: there are some things that the government does well. we do well at security most instances, defense. three areas that we don't do well in, education, health care and retirement and that's where the money is going and that's going to lead to our demise, but that's good thing. >> yeah. we need turned that the entitlements and interest on the debt are the majority of the federal budget. add in national defense, you've got 81% of the federal budget. everything else government does put together is only 19% of the spending. it's not very good at this particular thing. so once we got rid of social security, medicare and medicaid, then we can start to create some things that will actually do those jobs in a productive and useful way. >> steve: what you're suggesting, because we are at the tipping point almost where we're going to go bankrupt, a lot of the things that we count on now are going to go away.

>> sure. >> steve: then we're going to have to make hard choices and going forward, and that's the part where you say it's going to be awesome. we'll figure out how to do it right. >> because we actually have pretty good ways of funding people's retirements. we've got pretty good ways of dealing with health care. some excellent ways of dealing with education. but when you have these government sponsored monopoly systems in the way diverting the resources and the money, it makes it impossible to make those improvements in places where you can. >> steve: okay. read all about it, it will be. thank you for joining us. >> always a pleasure. >> steve: meanwhile, 27 minutes now after the top of the hour. more on our top news story. three women missing for close to a decade found alive in that house. prime suspect accused of keeping them in the basement for ten years. why didn't the neighbors notice? one of the neighbors is going to join us live. we've got a loft questions for him. and then new jersey governor chris christie has been keeping a secret for months. we're going to spill the beans when we roll on live from new york city.

home across the street from him. 52-year-old aerial castro, this is the first time we've shown this, believed to be the prime suspect in these abductions. police also took his two brothers into custody. one brother is 50, one is 54. they were not living at the home with him apparently. it's interesting what their connection might be to all of this. joining us on the phone is gentleman net gomez. she spent a lot of time in this neighborhood. good morning. >> good morning. >> gretchen: what can you tell us about what was going on in this neighborhood? >> nothing seemed to be abnormal, mr. castro, nor his family were pretty known in cleveland, ohio. i visit my friends all the time in the summer. we chill on the porch, listen to music, have barbecues, sometimes mr. castro would come across the street, drink coffee.

and never suspected of anything. but there were times that me and the neighbors would talk about him, like he's a weird guy, you know. his windows are boarded up. he never turned no lights. he even have electricity in that house? stuff like that. kind of made us look a little suspicious, but never seen any weird activities going on. we never seen nobody going inside the house. so we would never think of anything wrong. >> brian: how often did you see the brothers enter their house? >> he did have a brother living with him, the older brother. >> brian: really? >> but he kicked him out of the house. >> brian: how long ago was that? >> it's been over a year. >> steve: and we understand mr. castro was a bus driver for the cleveland school district up until the end of last year. let me ask you this: did

anybody ever see any young women in the front of the house, in the back of the house, hear anything? >> no, never. i did see him sometimes at lunchtime, different hours of the house with the bus, driving the bus, and he would park it, like, i would say maybe four, 500 feet away from the house. but we see him taking lunch break, he would come to the house, eat something and go back to work. this was a daily activity with the school bus. but we didn't think of anything, you know. it's his lunchtime or whatever, break time. but nothing suspicious. there was never no children, no woman, nobody -- we thought he was a single man that just -- single person, never nobody there. >> brian: you live in the area, right? >> his name is aerial castro, yes. >> brian: i'm just wondering, the houses look similar. are these big basements?

>> what was the question? >> brian: are these big basements in these houses? >> well my brother-in-law lives next to him and did he not have a really big basement, so -- i remember going into the house when we had friends. i don't remember ever going to the basement. so i can't really say whether it was a -- i'm assuming they're small basement 'cause my mother owns two houses in there and they're kind of small basements. >> gretchen: you're saying you never went into castro's home. >> i went into castro's house, but that was years before castro even came to the neighborhood. >> steve: okay. and just one other question for you, do you remember when these women went missing and they were big news stories there in cleveland? >> yes, i do. gina dejesus is my real good friend, so i am very excited for her because we always had faith that gina dejesus would be alive. >> steve: so you had the faith that she was alive and you

remember the story. it's pretty amazing that they were inside that guy's house. >> right in front of our noses and we never suspected anything. >> steve: aside from him not really ever turning on the electricity, you didn't have anything to suspect, did you? >> i'm sorry, what was that again? >> steve: there really was nothing suspicious about the house? >> well, he had boarded up windows and we thought he was just a cheap person that didn't have the money to fix the house. he had it boarded off and plastic all over the windows in the front. >> gretchen: nobody ever asked him about that, or the police never came by to wonder why the house was like that? >> nobody really -- nobody ever really came and asked him anything about that. 'cause it was a perfect place for the crime. a big backyard that nobody lived in the back, there was a couple boarded up houses that now that

makes me -- >> steve: there are a number of boarded up windows in the neighborhood. no doubt about it. janette gomez, we thank you very much for joining us and telling us the story. thank you. we've got other headlines for you. new jersey state governor chris christie admitting to the "new york post" that he secretly underwent lap band surgery back in february to help him lose weight. he tells the post he wants to stay alive for his children, but political observers saying the efforts to slim down is motivated by thoughts of running for president in 2016. sources say the governor has already shed 40 pounds. >> brian: he talked to rex ryan before doing it, used the same surgeon. >> gretchen: nearly two years after a jury found casey anthony not guilty of murdering her daughter, the judge in that case is speaking out. judge perry says he was so shocked with the verdict, he had to read it twice. >> i wanted to make sure that my

eyes were not fooling me. a little bit of disbelief, shocked. i always knew that was a possibility. whether she got away with something or not, the ultimate judge of that will be the judge of judges. she knows what happened. she has to live with it. >> gretchen: wow. casey anthony's attorney says he and casey are concerned and disgusted about the judge's comments. brian? >> brian: the salt lake city district attorney says he's consider building to file criminal charges against a teen-ager accused of fatally punching a soccer referee. police say the 17-year-old hit ricardo portillo in the head after he called a penalty kick on the player during a rec league game. >> do have the death of a person and whenever that happens, that raises the issue for us, understandably. i have a family that is mourning their loss and i've got a family who has got a juvenile. so we have to balance the -- the whole purpose of somebody who is

a juvenile and whether we want to move from a juvenile to an adult system. >> brian: right now the teen is being held in a juvenile detention center. he was the goalie in that game. >> steve: he's had a share of feuds on the court but now kobe bryant is facing off against his mother. she's trying to sell his high school and pro memorabilia. kobe wants to block the sale that includes more than 100 items, saying she doesn't have the right to sell his stuff. the case heads to federal court on thursday. that's always bad. we asked you when it's okay for your mom to chuck your stuff. janet says, after she tells you to come and get it and you don't. >> brian: she did tell kobe and he said keep it, mom. >> steve: okay. den says, my would throw out anything left laying around. kobe needs the money. >> brian: definitely needs it. >> steve: no kidding. ken says, in my family, once the children are adults, they got an opportunity to get all their memorabilia and take it to their own homes. after that, it's fair game or the trash. >> brian: here is my problem, my

problem is my mom, the first thing she got rid of were my baseball cards. that's the one thing that would have paid off the mortgage. no tom receiver card, you don't think that would be valuable? >> gretchen: note to this mom, don't throw away my son's baseball cards. they're accumulating at a rapid pace. >> steve: you know what? speaking of your mother, guess ho is on the phone right now. it's your shot of the morning, it's brian kilmeade's birthday. commemorated in cake. >> brian: wow. >> gretchen: your wife and your kids are on the phone to say happy b day. >> brian: wait a second. right now kaitlyn is on the phone right now? >> happy birthday. >> happy birthday. >> brian: what are you doing up so early? >> gretchen: early? [ laughter ] >> we're up wishing you a happy birthday. >> brian: well, i appreciate that. for not watching disney channel for one morning. [ laughter ] i'm honored. kaitlyn, you think that looks like me?

>> yeah. >> brian: sorry. i'm hoping you would say no. [ laughter ] that looks great. thank you very much. how did you plan on celebrating my birthday today, kaitlyn? >> do stuff. >> brian: going to do stuff. okay fine. kirsten, are you there? >> yeah. >> brian: how are you celebrating? >> going to school. >> brian: that's good. >> steve: learning a lot so she can support you in your old age. >> brian: brian went to school already. he wasn't available. >> gretchen: she's confirming that. >> steve: dawn kilmeade, also known as mrs. kilmeade, when brian comes home this afternoon, how are you going to fet him on his special day? >> brian: what? >> i don't know. i'm not quite sure. i think we'll probably have to go to dinner since we still don't have a kitchen. >> brian: still waiting for that. >> gretchen: he was 'tilling us he has all these plans of soccer and practices. >> brian: i don't know if we're going to have a chance to do

something like that. >> gretchen: you might get lucky and go out on the weekend. >> brian: but look who i get to bring home today. >> steve: let's all have one. >> oh, wow. >> brian: that's something. >> gretchen: now, this looks like you because it is. >> brian: it is actually me. >> steve: we'd like to thank the house of cupcakes for coming up with these startling likenesses much brian kilmeade. >> gretchen: happy birthday, brian. >> brian: thank you very much. >> gretchen: i know you're not afraid to share your age. did you before. but we don't have to do it again. he looks like a teen-ager, doesn't he? >> steve: for 64, you're in good shape. >> brian: thank you very much. bye, family. i guess i should go on and do everything you do. kirsten, kaitlyn, you have to go off to school. >> it's 7:00 o'clock in the morning. >> brian: i know. what time you got to be in? 9:30? >> yeah. >> brian: so you both are going back to bed. >> gretchen: 9:30? >> brian: they tonight want to rush. >> steve: dawn and the girls, thank you very much for joining

>> gretchen: welcome back. joining us is chuck hoffen, the managing ed for for the plain press. he received an article written by aerial castro's son. it was part of a college writing assignment. good morning to you, chuck. >> good morning. >> gretchen: do you remember getting this article? >> yeah. i remember he did a very nice job. i was just looking it over now from our archives and he did a

nice job on the article. he interviewed the mother of gina dejesus and he interviewed some people in the neighborhood, including the safety coordinator. it was a big story at the time because this was just a few months after gina dejesus disappeared. >> steve: he was writing about the anxiety in his own neighborhood that he grew up. he wrote in your paper, for seven weeks, gina's family has been organizing searches despite the many tips and rumors that have been circulating in the neighborhood. there has been no sign of her. one thing is for certain, however. almost everybody feels a connection with the family and gina's disappearance has the whole area talking. the amazing thing is, that was written by the son of the man who is alleged to have kept those people in his house for ten years.

>> yes. that seems to be the case now. one of the local reporters contacted me, i guess she had talked to the younger aerial castro and he confirmed that it was his father that was arrested. >> gretchen: the amazing thing is, and chuck, i don't know if you have any insight, but doesn't a son sometimes visit his father at the home? i mean, especially in college? >> i don't know what the relationship was, whether they were estranged or not. i don't have any background in terms of what his relationship was. >> brian: but you do remember the story and it was well written and that's why you published it. thank you for joining us. >> okay. you're welcome. >> steve: what a story. >> gretchen: we'll continue to cover this story for the remainder of our time here on "fox & friends." in the meantime, senator joe manchin taking some tough questions at a town hall. >> we have one of the most anti-coal administrations in to remind you, youe house right

>> steve: democratic senator joe manchin got an earful from a constituent in west virginia who criticized president obama's war on coal. and called out the senator for supporting his, obama's, reelection. >> as a citizen of logan, west virginia and of america, i'm very concerned, about a lots of things going on in our country. i'm concerned about the future of our country. the future for my kids, their grand -- my grandkids, for the children that left a few minutes ago, that they won't be able to

grow up in the came kind of society that you and i did, a free and secure society. right now washington, you guys a spending money at an alarming pace. it's unsustainable. if it doesn't get fixed, if somebody doesn't do something to stop it, we will sink. that's very troubling. we send billions of dollars every year to other countries, many who want to ill can us, while we have kids in our own country going to bed hungry. >> steve: not his best angle, but he made a good point and senator manchin joins us live. >> thank you. >> steve: you know what? got to hand it to you, you got an ear full there and you answered the question to him. >> i go all over my state. that's what it's all about. when you go home, you're supposed to find out what's wrong. he was exactly right. he said why did you support -- in 2008, i was very hopeful the president coming from illinois, coal state, had good relationships working with a lot of west virginiaians working in the coal industry in illinois and there was a good dialogue. it kind of shut down after he became president. i'm the first to tell you, i'm

fighting this every day trying to find the balance. coal produces 35 to 40% of our energy. it's the cheapest form of energy we have for us to be the most productive and to be competitive world wide. and not to use the energy the good lord gave you in your own backyard. >> brian: what does the president say when you bring that up, because it fuels the power plants for their electric cars! come on. >> we're just on two different pages. >> gretchen: you disagreed with him on the keystone pipeline. >> absolutely. >> gretchen: you were getting together with the other side of the eyeball, which some think are taboo. >> in west virginia, we believe you should buy from your friends and neighbors. not your enemies. that's really what that comes down to. that oil is going to go somewhere. is it going to go to china and different parts of the world or can we use it here and make ourselves more secure? >> steve: sure. and make more jobs. recent fox news poll, most important issue for congress, this is you, and the president

to work on, economy and jobs. then followed by the deficit and terrorism and health care, which got a lot of attention, only 7%. >> basically people are concerned about taking care of their family, putting a roof over their head and feeding and clothing children. that's just basic survival that's in west virginia and any place else. >> gretchen: has the president done enough on that front? >> nobody has done enough. the president definitely hasn't done enough. you have to get your financial house in order. whether your own finances in your own home, your small business, large business, whatever. and government definitely cannot be out of kilter. right now with 16 going on $17 trillion of debt, it puts pressure. >> steve: out of kilter right now. >> totally out of kilter. >> brian: the whole sequester thing, instead of us making tough choices together, it looks like let's do sequester and blame the other side. >> that's exactly. they're playing the blame game. both sides are guilty, democrats and republicans, playing the blame game. we're going to cut $85 billion between now and october 1. why didn't they just give

discretion? >> brian: you guys tried to give the president that. >> i'm trying to. i have a bill in for it. >> gretchen: i enthe segment by saying stop making sense. nice to see you. >> thank you [ male announcer ] for sensitive skin, there's fusion proglide. our micro thin blades are thinner than a surgeon's scalpel for our gentlest shave. switch to fusion proglide. gillte. the best a man can get.

decade. what we have just learned about him and his connection to them is coming up. >> brian: how will these women and the little girl born in captivity recover from three years in this house of horrors? dr. keith ablow will try to make sense of it. he'll be here live. "fox & friends" starts now. >> steve: fox news alert. it was a house of horrors for close to a decade. 2207 seymore street, the house in the middle, there in cleveland, ohio, had a couple of boarded up windows, but other houses in that neighborhood had boarded up windows. >> brian: is it the green one, steve? >> steve: the white one, i believe. the blinds were drawn. the guy had a dim light on the outside. he always went in and outside through the back door.

why is that? maybe because he was holding against their will, three women. there you can see where all three women were last seen. gina dejesus went missing back in 2007. michelle knight the year before and amanda berry last seen. there they were. >> gretchen: we're looking at the map of where they were found. it was within close proximity. we've been talking to people who live in the neighborhood who say it was very, very close and that they had actually canvassed that exact home and neighborhood, but had no idea these women were probably chained or roped in the basement for the last ten years. unbelievably. they were somehow able to see a glimmer of hope last night and to reach an arm out of the door and attempt to escape by calling to a neighbor. once that was able to happen, amanda berry gave this chilling 911 call. >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> you need police, fire or ambulance? >> i need police. >> okay. what's going on there?

>> i've been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years and i'm here. i'm free now! >> okay. stay there with those neighbors. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. >> okay. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. hello? >> yeah, talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. are they on their way right now? >> we're going to send them as soon as we got a car open. >> no, i need them now before he gets back. >> all right. we're sending them. okay? >> okay. i mean like right now. >> who is the guy who went out? >> his name is aerial castro. >> how old is he? >> he's like 52. >> allall right. >> i'm amanda berry. i've been on the news for the last two years. >> okay. i got that. >> with gina. >> what was his name again? >> aerial castro. >> gretchen: was the dispatcher in shock? it appears she wasn't relate to go this story, this amazing story that so many people knew

about in cleveland for the last ten years. maybe she was shocked that this amanda berry could be alive. >> brian: she didn't want to hang up the phone. don't they understand she clearly did not understand this girl has been traumatized for ten years. the last thing she wants to do is cut off the outside world. the way i understand it is this woman was across the street whose phone she used and spokes spanish and said i helped her undo the screen. she said she was nervous, dressed in pajamas, in old sandals. at first she didn't believe her. she said, you're not amanda berry. she's dead. amanda would later find out that her mom had passed away in 2006. they would say just from the anxiety of not knowing where her daughter was would take her life. she would also appear on oprah, talking about that she still has hope that her daughter is alive. >> steve: i tell you what, the three women and the six-year-old daughter were last night taken to metro health medical center

in fair condition. we understand from the local affiliate there in cleveland they have all just been released from the hospital. that's interesting. of course, the guy who -- apparently the guy who was holding them, mr. castro, was in the house, but somehow amanda berry started waving her hand and a neighbor by the name of charles ramsey ran over. mr. castro, who was holding them for ten years, ran off to the mcdonald's, but here is charles ramsey in his own words, what went down last night at that house. >> went to mcdonald's, came home, i'm eating at mcdonald's. i got the day off from work. so naturally you doing nothing. i hear this girl screaming and she going nuts. so i come outside and i know there is nobody that's supposed to be screaming next door to my house because there is no girl that lives in the house. so that's a dead give away there is something wrong. when i came to the front door and looked at her, she said my name is amanda berry.

please, get me out of this house. so i think yeah, whatever. so i helped her get out of the house. i didn't think you really that girl that's missing. she called the police and they came and they took her fingerprint, blood sample and came back, it was her. then she said it was two more girls up in the house. now, i don't know this. i just helped her out. >> you're correct. gina dejesus and then a woman named michelle knight. so you've been living next door to that house and didn't know there were any people? >> no, 'cause i'd have pulled this heroic stuff last year. >> gretchen: amazing account. he was also in shock as well. but a hero this morning for helping amanda berry to get out of the house. one other quick note, steve alluded to the fact there was a six-year-old girl found in the home. it's believed that that could be amanda berry's baby that she would have had, unbelievably so, blocked out her face, in the hospital. she would have had this child

while she was being held captive and no one yet knows who the father might be. of course, she was a teen-ager when all of this started. here is one of her best friends, jennifer, who was one of the last people to see her before she went missing. >> i was with her today. i'm her best friend. i was working with her at big k. the first day that she within missing, we walked out and we had a smoke and we were going to party 'cause it was her birthday and she just never came home after she walked down the street, i never seen her again. so we've been friends for a long time and i've been waiting for her to come home for a long, long time. i was there. i was the last person she saw. i felt horrible because i felt like it was my fault if i couldn't stop this, she would have been home. >> steve: so they've all been released from the hospital. that's the good news. let's tell you a little more about the three women. amanda berry, the one who made the 911 call, disappeared at age 16.

she had been working -- she had left earlier her job at a nearby burger king and participate time job and -- part-time job and disappeared after that. gina dejesus did not come home from school. she was a 7th grader ed classes. she decided to walk home. >> gretchen: michelle knight, age 30, disappeared august 23, 2002, when she was 19. only her mother was looking for her because they thought she had just taken off after she lost custody of her son. her mother never believed that story and now it looks as if the three of them have been held together all this time. >> brian: if you heard the account of the name used when -- the 911 operator asked who kept you this time, who held you that, is what we're go about to do, focus on the suspect, aerial cass row and his two brothers. there is details the brothers helped keep the girls alive. we have ainsley earhart. >> yes. amanda berry identified him in her call to police. his name, you saw his picture,

aerial castro. the 52-year-old moved into the neighborhood back in 1992. one year later, he was arrested for domestic violence. but a grand jury dropped those charges. he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. castro was a school bus driver just until this past november. neighbors say that he was a loner who always left his house in the dark with the shades blocking the windows and at least one of those windows of his house board up. castro would usually park his motorcycle or pick up truck behind the house. he would lock the gate and enter through the back door as you were saying earlier. no one ever suspected anything, they say, even charles ramsey, the man who you just heard who rescued amanda berry. >> you've been living next door to that house and not known there were any people? >> no, 'cause i'd have pulled this heroic stuff last year. >> do you know him? >> yeah. >> you thought he lived there by

himself? >> yes! yes! that's why i'm saying, to hear noises coming next door doesn't make no sense 'cause i know you lived there by yourself. >> thank goodness for this man. this map shows where you the three women disappeared and just look how close castro's house is to those location sites. i spoke to one of the girl's cousins earlier. she said they all live about two miles from the house where they were found. the suspect's uncle is now speaking out. he believes his nephew knew one of the women. castro used to play bass, in a band, performed at one of the girl's family's club. he says he's in shock and never wants to see his nephew again. >> i feel terrible because he's my family. we're from a big family. we never thought that something like this could happen within our family. those girls never show their face to anybody, to no one. i don't know how he kept them all these years.

it's unbelievable. >> meanwhile, castro's son brings another strange twist to this story. aerial or anthony wrote an article in 2004 about the disappearance of dejesus. at the time he was studying journalism at bowling green university. that article reads in part, quote, for seven weeks, gina's family has been organizing searches despite the many tips and rumors that have been circulating in the neighborhood. there has been no sign of her. one thing is for certain, however, almost everyone feels a connection with the family and gina's disappearance has the whole area talking. it was also noted in that piece that he interviewed gina's mom and aerial castro, his own father, is allegedly the man who is charged with kidnapping. police also arrested the prime suspect's two brothers, one is 50 years old, the other one, 54. >> we've got members of the cleveland division of police,

the f.b.i., the county sheriff's office on scene assisting us with canvas interviews. we're in different locations of the second district and interviews on the street here. i have to believe that this is going to be an active crime scene for at least a couple of days. >> more information about them is expected to be released at the press conference at 9:00 a.m. this morning. just so many questions, brian, steve, and gretchen, like you were mentioning before, whose baby is that, if it is amanda's. where did she give birth? a lot of people asking that question. >> steve: because they never saw any of the women outside the house. >> gretchen: that would have been amazing if she had a baby in that basement outside the house and that child has never seen the doctor. >> or even the light of day until yesterday. >> gretchen: unbelievable. thank you so much. some other headlines. three whistle blowers, the other big story today, who refused to stay silent about the benghazi libya terrorist attack will testify tomorrow. one of the whistle blowers, the former deputy chief of the

mission in libya, gregory hicks. he's expected to contradict early administration claims that benghazi was not a terrorist attack. it's creating awkward moments for the administration. >> can you just say, are greg hicks and mark thompson credible people? are they not long-standing career state department employees? are they credible? >> again, i'm not going to assess one individual or another. these are some folks who have said they're going to come out and tell a story to congress and our message -- let me finish. >> they 'til work here? >> our message is, we've always encouraged state department employees who want to share their personal story, whether to the f.b.i. or congress, to tell the truth, period. >> gretchen: the obama administration says the hearing is political. that's your quick one big news story headline. >> steve: all right. >> brian: lot going on today. >> steve: more on our top story y did it take ten years to find those three women in that house? did police miss the warning

sign? there is belief police bungled cases in the past. >> brian: he's the one player in casey anthony's case we have not heard from. that's the judge. this morning he's breaking his silence. ction - ction - itld be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you cabe more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immedte medical hel for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives,

with a look. >> what a happy day. what a terrible saga for these three families for the last nine and ten years, from five blocks within each other. $25,000 reward at some point for the berry and dejesus. a psychic who said miss berry was dead. vigils in the neighborhood, digging up lots in the neighborhood. amanda went to jail giving a false tip for four years based on the fact he said yes, he knew that miss berrygnu was dead and buried n. 2010, 900-page report in the city of cleveland, based upon the conduct of anthony sol, the cleveland strangler who killed 11 women in cleveland and buried them in and around his house, that triggered this report that said listen, our missing persons unit am doesn't

have cell phone, e-mail accounts, the detectives were assigned not based upon merit, but based upon seniority. and then the people in cleveland said, this is wrong. and, in fact, gina dejesus' family was one of the moving forces for getting that report moving in terms of dealing with families. >> steve: because her father was angry that when his daughter went missing, there was no amber alert and the cops said, look, we only do that if somebody is in imminent danger or we need the public's help. they needed the public's help! >> until recently, there was not a missing person's web site in this city of cleveland. so there had been a lot of changes that have gone on. and it wasn't until 2010 or so that the f.b.i. decided that there was a connection between these three young girls, three women now in terms of their disappearance. so this is a great, great stroke of luck. this is god lookingm these families and this community.

unfortunately, the police were not involved in this particular take down. unfortunately, they apparently had no idea at all that these women were being held allegedly in this particular home. there is one report that there have been warrants issued for the backyard as well because i'm sure they don't want to duplicate another situation to make sure that there are no other folks involved. >> steve: it looks like the cleveland police department's got a little explaining to do starting today. >> we love the police. but this went on for a long, long time. >> steve: it did. peter, thank you very much for finding all that stuff. straight ahead, next, his whole life is dedicated to tracking down missing people. john walsh from "america's most wanted." he'll join us live with reaction to the breaking news out of cleveland. those three women are alive and out of the hospital this morning [ male announcer ] it's simple physics...

>> gretchen: quick headlines now. this is the last image of 83-year-old victoria alive. surveillance cameras capturing it friday, moments after she got off an airplane at reagan national airport in d.c sadly, she was found dead yesterday not far from the airport. police say her death does not appear to be suspicious. a suspected terrorist arrest in minnesota, buford buckie rogers was arrested friday after investigators found explosives at his home. rogers is charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. >> steve: more on our fox news alert. three women missing for close to ten years, over ten in some cases, found alive. they were just released from the hospital there in cleveland moments ago. >> brian: they've been held captive inside a home in cleveland, ohio.

we found this out last night, blocks away from where they disappeared. >> gretchen: a man who dedicated had us life to finding missing children has been following this story and joins us. the former host of "america's most wanted," john walsh and a friends of the show. good morning to you n good morning. >> gretchen: i know your situation did not turn out like this with your son as far as being found alive. what are your initial thoughts having gone through what these families have gone through? >> of course, when i heard the news last night, i was doing cart wheels. i mean, how often do you get kidnapped or missing women back or children back alive? in this case, three of them, an adult woman, michelle knight, who went missing at 20 years old. gina dejesus at 14 and amanda berry. i profiled them several times on "america's most wanted" and this is just incredible. the best part of this is that there is two heros here. amanda berry for finding that moment when those three guys,

those three alleged kidnappers and abusers and torturers weren't there, and she cried out for help with her daughter that appears to have been created by a sexual assault or a rape, and this man, charles ramsey, walking by. didn't turn his head and say i didn't want to get involved. he jumps up on the porch, he breaks down the door and gets her out. gets her to 911. there is two heros. these women are alive because of charles ramsey. >> brian: i remember with therde said there are girls kept in the backyard. no one ever stepped forward, the cops checked it out but weren't able to find anything. meanwhile, there were girls kept for years. what are your early indications and investigation showing. were there people who were suspicious at all about this house? >> well, let's talk about jaycee dugard first. neighbors made complaints and parole and probation officers and sheriffs went into that house and philip garrido, a

level three sex offender who had been convicted of kidnapping a girl and beating her severely and keeping her in a storage unit, that he was actually arrested and went to jail for a month for parole violation while his crazy wife kept jaycee in the backyard. if i was the cop that came to arrest him for a violation, i would have searched the whole house, went out in the backyard, et cetera. so i think law enforcement can learn something from this to take these calls very, very serious and that if somebody says, i see something strange. i see a child that doesn't belong there, or something is going on, to really just more than just cover their butt and just drive up and say, is everything okay, because there were three women reported miss not guilty that same neighborhood. >> brian: right. you haven't heard anything about this neighborhood, right? >> pardon me? >> brian: you haven't heard anything about this neighborhood that there were signs missed? >> no, there were. now people are coming forth and

saying, i saw the guy walking that little girl and asked him who the little girl was, that there was no little girl there and he said, it's my girlfriend's child. other people called and said, look, there is something suspicious going on at this house. i'll tell you what, this guy and his brothers, we have to say alleged 'cause they'll be charged in about 45 minutes and the cops did a great job last night, postponed their press conference, got the guy, got his brothers, got the search warrant, they've done a fantastic job. they're going to charge these guys for kidnapping, for sexual assault, unlawful imprisonment. i hope they throw the book at them. >> steve: absolutely. john, before you go, the father of one of the missing girls, gina dejesus' father, felix, when she was abducted, he was steamed because the cleveland police department did not issue an amber alert. the police department said, look, we only do it if there is imminent threat to the child or the public can be of help in

locating that child. would an amber alert have been a wise thing back when she was abducted? >> absolutely, steve. it took three years to get national amber alert and national policy in the first year it got through, i must have testified ten times to get that through congress, it saved 117 kids. and now -- let's talk about that. amanda berry's mother, i profiled both those cases and talked to her mother. she was livid that the police had continually said to her, well, amanda is almost 17, day before her birthday. she ran away. she just took off with somebody and amanda berry's mother died of a heart attack and the family said to me and many people, that we believe mom died of a broken heart. >> gretchen: yeah. who wouldn't? >> and i was there for a very short time. the not knowing kills you. the not knowing what happened to your children. i'll tell you, charles ramsey, if i ever meet that guy, i'm

going to give him the biggest hug. he's a real hero and i'm still doing cart wheels. three women alive after ten years. it is fantastic. >> brian: we appreciate your loyalty to the show. thanks for sharing your insight and investigation. >> glad to do it. >> gretchen: coming up next, not one single cemetery wants to bury the accused boston bomber, the one who died. but his mom has an idea and a lot of you may like this idea. we'll tell what you it is. >> steve: new jersey governor chris christie has been keeping a secret for months. he just revealed it. we'll tell you what it is.

police plan to release more information about their prime suspect and that's what he looks like. 52-year-old aerial castro. they also arrested his two brothers. there is a report the brothers helped keep the girls captive all this time. we also just learned that three women were just released from the hospital and are now heading home to their families. can you imagine the time they have to make up for? so we're waiting a police press conference in just 30 minutes. we'll keep you updated. >> gretchen: amongst those three women, we have michelle knight, amanda berry and gina dejesus. there is also a six-year-old girl found in the home. it appears it could be -- we have her faced blocked out. that's amanda with her sister on the left. it could be amanda berry's child. she made reference to her daughter in the 911 call. you have to try and put that piece together in your head that she may have had this baby while she was kept captive in that home. >> brian: now we found out that this guy, aerial castro, might have been walking the

six-year-old around the neighborhood. >> steve: that's one of the stories out there. i'm looking at the twitter bite, one of the reports who was in the block. we do have a live shot of that block right now. they said nothing unremarkable. the guy was completely unremarkable. he really didn't bother anybody. just somebody they saw. but keep in mind, this particular story, three women missing. the first two we heard about a lot. the third one, the older woman, actually was abducted the year before. yet, back in 2004, greta van susteren covered the story. here is how it looked right here on the channel. >> now to cleveland and the search for 14-year-old gina dejesus. gina disappeared on her way home from school on april 2. what's you're theory to what happened? you're looking at this as an abduction or run away? >> well, all the options are open right now. we're hoping it's a run away, but it could be an abduction. we're just treating it on both

sides of the fence there. gina just kind of disappeared into thin air and we partnered up with the f.b.i. in this investigation and are treating as a criminal investigation at this point, but it's still just a missing person. >> gretchen: i bet that's her mom sitting next to that commander there. you can see she was disagreeing when he said it was a run away. she kind of gave a look -- by the way -- >> steve: because they wanted the amber alert. >> gretchen: fox. because 14-year-old girl disappears on her way walking home from middle school. she's not an adult, folks. she's 14. i just cannot believe that the initial thought was a run away with a -- watch the woman's reaction here. he's talking about the fact that it could be a run away. i don't know how police officers are trained to look at these situations. i think when a child 14, you might initially think abduction and go that route for the first 24 hours at least. and then maybe go run away. >> steve: she was a 7th grader. she was in special ed classes,

decided to walk home of the apparently the mother was not uncommon, the mother would give her a dollar and a quarter for a ride home on the bus. the little girl would keep the money and buy snacks as she did all the time and instead, walked home. oprah winfrey devoted time to this particular story back in 2009. here she is with the family. >> my sister amanda berry went missing april 21, 2003. she would be 23 years old today. >> what's been the hardest for me is that amanda has been gone for too long and i want her home. >> my name is nancy. my daughter gina dejesus went missing april 2, 2004. she would be 19 years old today. not knowing is what's tearing us apart. but i fight. i'm never going to give up. >> steve: they didn't give up. >> gretchen: amanda's mother passed away, unfortunately, in 2006. her family members say it was

heartache over not knowing where her child was. you have to wonder there was only this one moment in ten years for amanda berry to get away? in ten years! try and wrap your head around there that she had one fleeting moment to put her hand out and say, help, help, and somebody listened. i guess time will tell if the story is revealed, maybe there were other opportunities and nobody heard her or nobody helped. but it's amazing that it took ten years for one of these three women to have that moment, that moment where they could say, help me. >> brian: she evidently gave birth -- i mean, that must have been so fortified, that basement or that house to have that one moment in ten years because anyone screaming help, i don't care if you think you know your neighbor, you're going to that house. >> steve: you're just always waiting for the opportunity. even though she was inside the house, and there is no evidence that she was ever outside the house, she knew the street address. and as soon as she got her way across the street, she said, i'm at 2207 seymore. the dispatch operator said, no

you're at 2210. she was giving the address, obviously she had practiced in her head, a million times, if i ever get the chance to talk on the phone, this is where i'm at. amanda berry, come get me. i was kidnapped ten years ago. yesterday she finally got to make that phone call. >> gretchen: now to the other stories making headlines for your day. the mother of boston bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev wants him to be buried in russia. this following the news that not one cemetery in the entire united states of america will bury his body. >> russia is a great idea. if you ask anybody around, they think it was the best idea. i think the uncle would like to do that, the parents would like to do that. i'm sure the usa would like to see us do that. >> gretchen: meantime, one of three friends charged with helping tamerlan's brother after the bombing has been released from jail on bail. 19-year-old robel philipos is accused of lying to federal agents when they questioned him. he posted $100,000 bond. will be under house arrest and wear an ankle monitoring

bracelet until his trial. >> steve: a survivor of that deadly limo fire in california speak out this morning, saying their driver should have done more to save the five women who died. >> it's smoke and the fire came out. it was already on fire. to stop the car, stop the car. >> steve: she was one of the nine women celebrating a friend's wedding when their limo burst into flames from the back once the driver pulled over. she says he got out, left them. but the driver says he did help pull them through the partition between the front and the back seat. >> they had music on in the back. she knocked on the thing. like i said, i thought she wanted to smoke a cigarette. to look at it, it was very horrific. something that you never want to go through. >> steve: the driver says when somebody opened the back door, it fueled the fire. >> brian: new jersey governor chris christie admitting to the "new york post" that he secretly

underwent lap band surgery back in february to lose weight. he secretly had this done in his office and he had secret meetings with his doctor there. he said he wants to stay alive for his four kids. but political observers say the effort to slim down was motivated by thoughts of a 2016 presidential bid. sources say he's already shed 40 pounds. remember it takes a while. you don't lose it immediately. >> gretchen: all right. senator joe manchin from west virginia taking on tough questions from a town hall. >> you guys are spending money at an alarming pace. it's unsustainable. if it doesn't get fixed, if somebody doesn't do something to stop it, we will sink. >> gretchen: the democratic senator got his chance to respond last hour. so the marine is here now this hour. >> steve: plus, what made amanda berry find the courage to escape her captor or captors? dr. keith ablow here next

before global opportunities were part of their investment sttegy... to the schools that gave them scholarships... before they planned for their parents' future needs and their son's future... they chose a partner to help manage theirealth -- one whose insights, solutions, and approach have been relied on for over 200 years. th's the value of trusted connections. that's u.s. trust.

reportedly kept her captive for ten years only went in and out of the back. so that could have been barricaded. joining us right now is psychiatrist dr. keith ablow. dr. ablow, your take right now on the fact that she was released out of the hospital immediately -- she's only been in there one day. is that a wise move? >> listen, i won't second guess the doctors, but it wouldn't have been a bad idea to have her stay a few extra days and get some psychiatric counseling because these demons can come home to roost months, years later and this is a critical time for her to feel that people are on her side, to come up with a game plan and to share things that she may not even yet feel comfortable sharing. >> gretchen: yeah. we have no idea, like were they kept in the basement for ten years? were they chained, roped? did they ever go outside? did they have contact with tv? just any social media, internet, anything, we don't know any of those questions. but one thing we do know is that it appears there was just this

one moment in time, in ten years where she either had the courage or the opportunity to make a move. what do you make of that, dr. ablow? >> either it's just opportunity where this fellow let his guard down, or it can be that these women together intimated there is something worse coming here. he's going to dispose of us. who knows what? we'll learn it that from her. but i do think you wouldn't send somebody home right after coming back from a tour of duty in the military where they were pow's. the idea of her going home and everybody congratulating her and celebrating, that's a reentry phase that can be traumatic in and of itself. >> steve: we do know this particular guy, the suspect in the case, it sounds like he'll be charged shortly. we don't know what the brothers will be charged with. they may have had knowledge. he was a school bus driver until november of last year and there is going to be a live press conference in cleveland very shortly. my question for you is what kind

of a guy does this, as we wait for the presser there in cleveland, sir? >> probably someone who, if you interviewed him as a forensic psychiatrist as i am, you may find deep feelings of powerlessness, this desire to be all powerful, to literally broker the free tom of other individuals -- freedom of other individuals. after all, these driving this bus. he's got charges in back of him. there is no one during his day, other than his boss, who has more authority than him. he has tremendous authority at work, he has even more authority in the darkened corridors of this home where he's doing as he will do. so those kids are lucky, by the way, all those kids all those years, very lucky. >> brian: evidently he did walk out of the house with the six-year-old, according to john walsh, that's kind of interesting, too. >> steve: thank you. >> that is interesting. >> steve: thank you. >> gretchen: west virginia senator joe manchin taking on tough questions from a marine at a town hall. >> in washington you guys are

spending money at an alarming pace. it's unsustainable. if it doesn't get fixed, if somebody doesn't do something to stop it, we will sink. >> gretchen: democratic senator got his chance to respond last hour. that marine is here next with his side of the story. >> brian: first let's check in with our real friend, bill hemmer, coming up at the top of the hour. you have a packed show. >> we certainly do. good morning to the three of you. good program this morning. we'll continue in a moment here. what a morning it's been already. frankly, who knows what we're about to find out in cleveland. the mayor is frank jackson. also the police chief will hold a press conference at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. we'll certainly have live coverage when that happens. there is a lot to this story that has not gone public. we will get some of those answers in minutes when martha and i see you at the top of the hour on "america's newsroom" [ ship horn blows ] no, no, no! stop! humans. one day we're coming up with the theory of relativity,

>> gretchen: a marine veteran troubled by the direction of our country confronted west virginia senator joe manchin in a town hall meeting last week. police impassioned plea went viral. >> down in washington, you guys are spending money at an alarming pace. it's unsustainable. if it doesn't get fixed, if somebody doesn't do something to stop it, we will sink. that's very troubling. we send billions of dollars a year to other countries, many am of whom want to kill us, while we have kids in our own country going to bed hungry at night. >> gretchen: we're joined by sean atkins, the marine veteran who made his voice heard in that cell phone video. welcome to you, sean. >> good morning, gretchen. >> gretchen: so what was the main point that you were trying to get across to the senator when you went to the town hall meeting? >> well, i guess my main point is that the people still have a voice. we still need to be -- to participate in government.

so many times i think people look at government like it's something distant from them or it's something that they don't want to have anything to do with and a lot of times politicians take advantage of that. they tell us what we want to hear, but i tell people all the time, don't listen to what they say. watch what they do. i have no ill will toward senator man chill. i just want some answers and i want some truth. i want to see the government be accountable to the people who they represent. >> gretchen: all right. so here we had senator mannequin mannequin -- senator manchin on our show an hour ago. see if you like what he had to say to us. >> sean is exactly right. he said -- why did you support? 2008, i was very hopeful the president coming from illinois, a coal state. we have a lot of folks working in the coal places in illinois. it shut down after he became president. i'm trying to find the balance. >> gretchen: what do you think? >> well, let me first say, i don't want to make this all

about manchin's relationship with obama. but i will say in 2009 at a labor day picnic, i snow senator manchin was talking to coal miners and promoting obama even in 2009, which was roughly nine months after his election. also that same year when senator mannequin was a governor of west virginia, he passed a cap and trade bill in our state and signed it into law that basically requires us to reduce 25% of our coal usage by 2025. now, that sounds to me a lot like one of obama's policies. >> gretchen: i know that you're frustrated on so many other issues and one of the main things we showed was got spending. unfortunately we have so much breaking news, we have to wrap it up there. thank you for your service, number one and we'll have you back on this show. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> gretchen: more "fox & friends," just three minutes away th his expenses while he can't work, he can focus on his recovery. he doesn't have to worry so much about his mortgage, groceries, or even gas bills. kick! kick...
