responsible. this video pretty outrageous. 30 people had to be pulled from the water after a party boat went under. it was taking people to a columbus day celebration at a sand bar beach in miami. on the way back it capsized. >> he didn't say the boat is sinking. he was saying you guys move back a little bit. we're doing -- this boat isn't enough to hold enough people. >> the person driving the boat was not a licensed captain. it's believed he was illegally charging people for the ride back and forth to the beach. i bet he's in a little bit of trouble. brand-new lead in the 2007 disappearance of then three-year-old madeleine mccann. british police releasing these computer-generated images of a guy they want to question in connection with the case. police creating the pictures using two eyewitness accounts. madeleine's parents left the hotel room in portugal to go out to eat with friend.

>> [inaudible] go into an apartment and take a little girl away from her family. the white house gift shop went belly up. the store now filing for bankruptcy. it is located steps away from 1600 pennsylvania avenue and it has billed itself as the official white house gift shop. the bankruptcy is not tied to the senate shutdown but it is a private organization. they're just not selling enough christmas tree ornaments. >> that's the problem. that's where i get my christmas tree ornaments to give to the folks who sit on the curvy couch every year. have to make my own. you probably saw yesterday, heard about it for a couple of days, yesterday was the day when they were going to have the million vets march on washington, d.c. they would convene at the world war ii memorial that on october 1 was a shutdown by the national park

service. as the veterans approached the barricades -- and they had barricades around this open-air memorial to keep people out. the barricade were hooked with little plastic ties and somebody there had some tin snips, snapped them and started carrying off the barricade. >> fantastic that that actually happened. 3.8 million veterans apparently stand to lose their disability benefits. they're having them put on delay if indeed we're in a shutdown. everyone was fired up. certainly ted cruz and sarah palin, who were at the memorials yesterday -- you guys saw them. >> it is indefensible that the obama administration has spent money to erect barricade to keep our veterans out. i call on president obama to stop holding our veterans hostage. >> you look around, though, and you see these barricades, and you have to

ask yourself, is this any way that a commander in chief would show his respect, his gratitude to our military? our vets have proven that they have notñi been timid, so we will not be timid in calling out any who would use our military, our vets as pawns. >> the white house tries to maximize the pain during these two shutouts. we saw it last year, seeing it this year, using more man power to shut down them than secure them. they allowed veterans to mobilize against them. so the white house who had all the momentum in their corner seemed to have lost it when it came to shutting down all these sites. you've got proof in that in the fact that they allowed states to open them if they want to. so they said they're going to open the statue of

liberty and national parks. of course states have to pay for them. >> states have to pay for the statue of liberty for six days. they saw the barricade and they were attached and they used the tin snips. initially they piled them up but eventually somebody got the idea, hey, let's take them over to the white house. we've got anñi image off of twitter of -- you can see right here -- a veteran, paraplegic on a segue helping carry a barricade, as you can see right there, toward the white house where they stacked them up. that was on twitter yesterday. it was retweeted over a thousand times. >> when you first saw it, you thought he was next to a fence. when you look closely, you can see he's carrying that over there. also to remind everybody, in 1996, the last time we were facing a shutdown, it was a time of peace. so we have a ton, millions of vets comingave veterans retug from afghanistan, probably an influx returning here hoping it would be better here than where they are.

>> remember what mote sraeued this particular -- remember what motivated this particular action over the weekend. veterans were really upset with the fact that they would barricade off the world war ii memorial for those honor flights. we showed you those images over the last ten days and furious with the fact that for our active military they have been denied death benefits because of the shutdown. >> let's talk about the shutdown. we thought we had a deal on friday, the house coming unwith something. in the backdrop you heard senator collins is working with two other female senators, murkowski as well as ayotte coming up with a deal. funding the federal government for six months, keeping spending levels at where they are, two-year delay on the medical device tax and requiring interim verification for americans seeking subsidies for obamacare. they thought they were moving in the right direction. one of our guests coming up shortly, senator manchin,

said i could sign on to this. senator khrob char, a democrat, said this looks pretty good and then all of a sudden things started falling apart. it ends up blowing up because -- i don't think there is any doubt about this -- that poll on saturday from the "wall street journal" that showed republicans were losing big time in the court of public opinion gave the white house and senator reid, who has been really militant about this, felt the wind's at their back, let's go for the kill. i have an idea. let's get rid of all the spending caps we agreed on from years ago. there is no way that would fly. just goes to show you democrats believe their success in failure this week. >> you might be right on point. some would argue the president would react to the polling and make adjustments. >> the republicans have been very clear. look, the sequester led to two years of back-to-back spending reductions, first

time since the korean war. we're not budging on this. here is senator rand paul on the sequester versus obamacare. >> i think the one thing i cannot accept and the one thing sing really not even -- the one thing i think is not a compromise at all is democrats want to exceed sequester caps, things we put into law to restrain spending. they are about obamacare being the law of the land but so is the sequester. the sequester is the law of the land and if we exceed that it is a big step in the wrong direction. >> want to unite republicans, throw out sequester. anybody who is a moderator or tea party, they all agree let's not get back to where we started in order to give the president what he wanted. >> another overreach. >> if you thought the house was an overreach in trying to fund obamacare, this is an example of a democratic overreach. >> they are at loggerheads

and thursday is coming. senator joe manchin will be joining us at 7:20 eastern time. in the meantime it is columbus day and heather is with us on what we know. >> here's the first one: which one was not one of the ships on columbus's first voyage? the santa maria, the nina, the santa ana or the pinta. these were about an average of 60 feet long. not that big. >> do you guys have the answer? >> you'll never know. >> here is the next one: when columbus returned to spain, he did so only with two ships. which one was missing? the nina, pinta or santa maria? >> i would say nina for $1,000. >> the santa maria. you know what happened to it? it was ship wrecked near haiti, 1492. 39 guys volunteered to stay

on that island. they were killed. >> i was at the dominican republic. i learned all this firsthand but i skipped that part. >> you did not. i believe you were in the dominican republic but i doubt you were learning history. >> we took the trip to columbus. we saw the palace. >> historians believe columbus was born where? florence, italy. venice, italy. genoa, italy. barcelona, spain. which u.s. state was the first to adopt columbus day as an official holiday? new york, virginia, colorado, pennsylvania or new jersey. >> i say new york. >> i'm going to say virginia. >> it was the state of virginia. how about that? >> you saw the answer. >> 80% -- more than 80% of

he came back. >> he did. welcome back. >> i got my drink. >> we are back with bad news for those receiving social security benefits. new data showing those payments are only set to be much lower right now, actually the lowest in years. >> a preliminary report suggests the cost of living adjustment or cola will be 1.5%, just $17 per month as a raise in your benefit. >> here with more on that is stuart varney, "varney and company." things are the same price. we shouldn't give social security people more money. >> it affects a very, very large group of people. 58 million americans. that's social security recipients, disabled vets, retired federal workers, women and children under the supplementary dependent care program. 58 million people will get probably around $17 a month

extra from the social security administration. that's not much money. >> what was expected? >> well, that is what's expected. we don't have the firm numbers because of the government shutdown. you could say that the shutdown actually delayed this bad news. it's all based on inflation. when the inflation number goes up, the cola, cost of living adjustment for social security, goes up. >> is it fair, stuart? >> is it fair? that's a very good question. does consumer price inflation numbers, do they actually measure the rising cost of living? some would say yes. some would say no. but it is the law. you base these cola adjustments on the consumer price inflation numbers. that's all we've got to work on. we've got very little inflation. this very large group of people is stagnating in terms of their income. there was no cola in 2010, none in 2011. about 20 bucks more in 2012. this year maybe $17 a month more. that's stagnation of income for 20% of the population.

>> the good news, if there is a silver lining, is the fact that because there is no inflation everything else doesn't cost more so everything is static. but the bad news is if you are a retiree and you're living off of social security and you may have money in bond, you're not making any money on bonds for about four or five years? >> zero. if you've got money in a bank c.d. or bond, your actual rate of return is 1%, 2%. that's it at best. >> should people fear if the shutdown happens that they're not going to get social security checks? >> no, i don't believe so. i think they will get their checks. it's a question about that, but really don't worry. >> "varney and company coming up at 9:15 or 9:20? >> 9:20 as usual. >> thanks, stuart. next on the rundown, should we play college athletes to play sports or is free tuition enough? the debate picking up steam

again. >> speaking of tuition, should illegals be allowed to get in-state college tuition? governor christie just weighed in and his response not sitting well with many. that's coming up. ♪ ♪ my mantra? ♪ always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal

collapses with people on it. at least seven people are missing. the bridge was under construction at the time. brian? >> the average market value of the ncaa college football player is about $500,000 over four years. that is a lot of money earned for their school. should student players be getting paid? should they be getting more than just their education? >> we're joined by a panel, one feels the system is okay now. we cannot start paying players. john, thank you for joining us. what the contention is, for example, a school like texas and michigan, football program alone between $60 million and $80 million. is a four-year scholarship enough? >> i think a football program drives the revenue that fund all the other sports in the athletic

department program. it's really important to look at the whole aspect of how you fund a proper athletic department with all the men's and women's sports. >> it's funding for everybody and so football should be kind and fund volleyball and soccer? >> the fact that they do fund everybody tells you football is different. football is the money maker. >> and basketball. >> in some schools. but football everywhere. it is the main money generator except for a handful of basketball schools. the bottom line is if you're the program that everyone else is living off, you're different. you have to treat these players different because they are different. they're richer on one hand. they have the nicest facilities, they get more food, they get better lodging than the tennis team and golf team and all that. at the same time people aren't tuning in on the weekends to watch people to gymnastics. >> is part of that pull because they're student athletes, not an nfl minor league. i don't watch triple a

baseball. >> you don't care whether these guys are student athletes, you d what their g.p.a. is. you care about on saturday they light up, you tune in to watch in. nobody cares about the student side. >> john, do you agree with that? >> i feel people see a difference in what is college football and what is the nfl. i think people are enamored with the way kids come in and play at the level they play in a high-profile format. they see a shift when you move into the pro game. >> most of these guys are not going pro. you know this is their moment in the sun. they know the person who is getting all the money are the people, the school itself and the coach who gets an average of $1.5 million. you get a four-year degree worth about $200,000. is that right? >> well, i think it's different components. you have coaches that have made a market in a competitive format. they're professionals. you have student athletes

that are just that. they're students going to get an education with benefits that they receive to be athletes at that school. >> they're not there to get an education. they're there to play football. the facts are that college football players spend more time on football-related activities than they do in the classroom. that's a fact. you can't get away from that. here's the other thing. when football players leave college, more than 99 p-bg of them will never -- 99% of them will never earn a nickel playing football. but every one of them will live with the physical ramifications of having played college football for four years. who pays for that? they do. when they leave, the injuries, medication, the therapy, treatment a lot of these guys will have for the rest of their lives comes out of theirñr pockets. it's stuff like that that has to be changed. how do you compensate them? you might not write them a check while in college but there has to be deferred compensations that deals with these realities. i think jeff has a point as it relates to, there is a

system of benefits in place that probably needs to be modified. but now you're talking about a focused strategy. in the current debate about pay athletes, it's this ever-present, all-encompassing what does that mean? i find my position has gotten stronger and don't pay them on the basis that there's too many unanswered questions. >> you've made a strong case, johnny. it's very hard finding somebody who says they shouldn't be paid, to be honest. jeff benedict, your book is a bestseller. you go inside all these systems. it's called "the system." jeff and john, thanks so much for joining us. good job, guys. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. next on our rundown, don't care much for your mother-in-law? neither does this woman because hers tried to kill her. >> i guess if i was out of the way, she could just have her son and her

movies. one is captain phillips and one is gravity. >> gravity continues to roll on. >> if you were watching sunday night football, you heard bob costas weigh in on the redskins debate that we discussed here and you might have discussed. after 81 years, should the washington redskins change their name? their owner dan snyder is dug in. i'm not changing. capital letters, i will not change it. here's bob costas. >> think for a moment about the term redskins and how it truly differs from all the others. ask yourself what the equivalent would be if directed toward african-americans, hispanics, asians or members of any other ethnic group. when considered that way, redskins can't possibly honor a heritage or a noble character trait. nor could it possibly be considered a neutral term. it's an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present day intend.

>> that is what mr. costas said during his essay last night. the president of the united states weighed in on this last week where he said -- >> he had nothing else to do. >> -- if i were the owner of the team and i was offending a sizable group of people, i'd think about changing. is a sizable group of people? are they offended. >> lani davis was on the program and addressed that issue. >> redskins fans by 95% don't want a name change. native american tribal leaders in virginia have spoken out and said we love the redskins. the last poll of all native americans, the only one taken by the annenberg institute in 2004 had nine out of ten native americans not offended by the name. >> they have been the redskins for 81 years. why is everyone offended now? >> bob costas, has he never said anything before last night? >> he hasn't. i think he has every right

to say it. i like that, special bob costas who has everything to say is everything. he's really bright. i don't agree with this. if i said it when he broke in, then i agree for those people who are native americans, if you feel that way, why now? i think it's also important to pick out the name of the song they sing at washington, hail to the redskins. >> my husband played there for a short while. i remember feeling that. i felt nothing but honor at the stadium being there at the moment. >> what do you think? e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. should they change the name? was costas appropriate in his essay? of course freedom of speech. we've got headlines for you here with heather starting in new jersey.

>> there is a question being asked: should illegal immigrants get in-state college tuition? new jersey governor chris christie thinks so. according to activists, christie changed his mind on the issue over the weekend. he previously opposed the idea saying it would have amounted to subsidizing them with taxpayer money. christie is up for reelection this november. if you think your mother-in-law is bad, at least she didn't try to kill you. 70-year-old diana cost costarackus is under arrest for trying to kill her daughter-in-law. now she is talking about it. listen to this. >> i guess if i was out of the way, she could just have her son and her granddaughter. >> police say that the mother-in-law told the undercover detective to use diamond jewelry from her daughter-in-law's body to

pay for that hit. wow. this florida woman ended up dangling 22 feet from railroad bridge, and that happened when the bridge actually went up. but she's in trouble with the law this morning. police say that she'll likely be charged with trespassing on private property. the 55-year-old was crossing the bridge after she participated in a breast cancer walk on saturday. police say that she should have paid more attention to the sign warning her to keep out. how about that? those are your headlines at this hour. >> that mother-in-law story is something else. if somebody put a hit on somebody, wouldn't you expect for them to pay for it themselves with their own jewelry? >> thanks, heather. meanwhile, let's go to maria molina with a look at what's happening in the weather. hello, maria. >> good morning, steve, elisabeth and brian. hope you had a great weekend. today we're tracking a storm system that's exiting parts of the rockies and it will be producing

us. >> what we saw yesterday was pretty awesome to see veterans storming the memorials, hit rale -- memorials and literally removing the barricade. what you're doing is incredible. it seems as though the military intentional or not is a target of the shutdown. what is your take? >> it seems like veterans are a pawn in a chess game. it is quite a shame to see what's going on in washington, d.c. it is great to see veterans marching, standing for a cause. that is what i'm trying to do is promote and raise awareness for our country's veterans. >> you were telling us about a friend of yours who was down there involved in removing the barricades. >> johnny jones. i saw pictures of him on facebook. it was nice to see him out there supporting our veterans. it wasn't a harmful protest. it was just supporting a mission and letting the government know in -- and

our political leaders know this is not okay. >> you were attacked in delaware during a portion of your run. can you tell us what happened. >> it was another one of the bumps in the road we had. i came through wilmington, delaware, and there was a homeless gentleman from philadelphia who came through the town. i was caught off guard and he socked me right in the face. i got a pretty serious concussion from it and it hit some national news. it was unfortunate but we're not going to let us define that and we keep moving. >> you're heading up to portland, maine. you've got 20-some-odd more days to try to raise more money. we're going to give folks the web address in a moment. but is it true your run across the country was inspired by forrest gump? >> it was a bet, forrest gump and a couple of other things that went into that concoction. >> you were deployed and watching forrest gump on a little tv; right? >> yes, sir. >> somebody said you can't run across the country. >> that was the beginning of it.

what we're doing is pretty serious to raise awareness. i lost a friend to suicide after iraq. that is the real reason for getting on the road to do what we do every day. >> we're hoping a bunch of americans get out there and help. the website is the runforveterans.org. is that correct? >> yes. >> tell us what the goal is and what you have so far. >> 27 days left. we'll start from brooklyn bridge today. we raised a little over $300,000. i think if we get support from all over the country we can shoot for the sky and make big money in the end. >> do you have a goal? >> i think we'll do a million if we get the whole country involved. >> you heard the man. a million dollars. it's columbus day. let's do a good thing. support our heroes. the website is therunforveterans.org. >> well done. >> straight ahead, the president promised if you don't like your health

it or not i was just listening to the president a few weeks ago as he was addressing married about -- addressing maryland about the affordable care act. he told me and others we would be fine. now here it goes. i'm worried about my father. i'm worried about obviously myself. i've got to have health care. i can't go on without medication. i'll die without it. >> we understand. carlene, the alternative is to find some which would triple or quadruple your premium. or go on obamacare. why don't you go on obamacare? >> because it scares me. i don't want some government bureaucrat determining the fate of my son or husband. my son had a heart transplant at six years old. he's doing great. a kidney transplant. it scares me to think we've had two organs. we're done. to me, obamacare is a form of socialized medicine.

i don't know what people are going to do. we're not the only one. i'm devastated for my family and other people in this country. medications, my goodness, what are people going to do? >> what are people going to do. we can see you're almost at wit's end. we've got to keep following your story so we know exactly what road you're going to go down. carlene and isaiah joining us from dallas. thank you very much. sorry about the bad news in the mail on saturday. >> thank you, steve. thank you. >> what do you think about what you just heard and the president's promise that if you like your health care you can keep it? e-mail us friends@foxnews.com. if you've got a similar story, please tell us. ten minutes before the top of the hour. have you seen this video? a dog opening two doors at the animal shelter. that dog and his owner are here live. the dog's name, hudini. a girl and her granny

sunglasses. can you please send them back to me? back to me? the light's kind of bright >> in the meantime, while we're waiting for that, we have headlines with heather. >> just the sunglasses? >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> we're going to get a report from somebody at that gate c-2. got headlines to bring you now. let's start out with a fox news alert. right now in london, police are questioning four men in their 20's on terror charges. the firearms unit made these arrests and the bbc fired special ammunition to blow out the tires of a car that were carrying two of the men. british police rarely carry their guns so their involvement suggests these men may have been armed. six locations are being searched as we wait for more details about exactly why these men were busted. take a look at this video. it is outrageous. 30 people had to be pulled from the water after a party boat went under. it was a 45-foot cata

marand. it was taking people back and forth to a beach bar in miami. on the way back it capsized. >> it's a miracle that nobody died. nobody had on life jackets. >> the guy driving the boat was not a licensed captain. >> caught on video, the united states coast guard rescuing an injured navy sailor from a submarine. the subin hawaii was about 160 miles off the coast of san diego when the soldier reportedly fell and hurt his head. veterans fed up with how they're being treated during the government shutdown storming the world war ii memorial. that memorial has become a political symbol in the bitter fight between republicans and democrats over who is to blame for the shutdown. listen. >> the memorial is very little cost if any to the

federal government. these are for our honored war vets. we're not going to let this happen. >> crowds carrying those barricade to the white house. those are your headlines at this hour. i was in florida over the weekend as well. i was there for work. usually when people know that you work for fox, they ask questions, what's bill o'reilly like? is megan kelly nice? the questions this weekend were about brian kilmeade. tell us about brian kilmeade. >> going to be in elisabeth hasselbeck's tell-all about me. don't leak anything about. thanks, heather. >> you're trending on twitter. >> you know what people always ask me? how do you get donald trump on monday? >> good morning to you, donald. we're reading in "the new york post" today, i'm going to read the headline, g.o.p.ars eye trump card.

party big wooing moguls for run against governor cuomo. anything to that as we zoom in to elisabeth hasselbeck? >> i just heard about this for the first time, and i do like the people we're talk about there, wonderful people, they're working very hard. but i actually just heard about this like you just heard about this. >> what's your initial reaction? sometimes your first reaction is the best reaction. >> i think my initial reaction is i haven't even thought about it. it's a first. it would be very interesting. new york has some very serious problems. we have taxes that are through the roof. we have energy sitting under our ground we're not getting. we have a lot of problems but it is not something that is of great interest to me. >> what do you think of governor cuomo? have you met him? >> again, i like him. he's got probably the dumbest attorney general in the united states. he's driving business out of new york state like crazy. he's añr nice guy. i think cuomo is a nice

people are leaving new york. taxes are way too high. it's not even a contest. new york city has a lot of problems and new york state has a lot of problems. we don't want to lose our great peopleñi to florida, texas and lots of other places. really that's what's happening. look at your own paychecks. you're based in new york. you know what's happening. it is not a good situation. somebody does have to get in there and cut the hell out of taxes or you're going to lose a lot of people and a lot of people that pay a lot of money. >> two weeks in a stalemate, democrats are trying to move the goal post. they are demanding sequester funding before negotiations take place. some people think president obama is not going to want to be the first president in history to default on our debt.ñi do we call his bluff and ride this thing out to thursday? what is his strategy suggestion? >> i've been saying the republicans have much stronger cards than the press is letting people know, but the problem the republicans have is they're very divided. you have these characters coming out saying we're not

going to win, we can't win, this is terrible. the polls are making us look so bad. let me tell you, the republicans have a lot of power if they would be able to unite. you can't have half of them or maybe slightly more than half of them knocking the hell out of the people trying to get something done for the good of the country. this country is in serious trouble. we're going to hit $17 trillion over the next very short period of time. something has to be done. those people are really being hit hard by other republicans. the -- if the republicans would unite, i say they have all the cards despite what you read in the press. >> right now on capitol hill it's loggerheads and democrats in the senate are saying let's restore the sequester cuts. we've got a sound bite from senator rand paul where he talks about the sequester cuts versus obamacare, which of course house republicans wanted to defund not so long ago. listen to this. >> i think the one thing i cannot accept and the one thing that i think is

really not even a compromise at all is the democrats want to exceed the sequester caps, these things that we put into law to restrain spending already. and it's funny they're all about obamacare being the law of the land, but so is the sequester. the sequester is the law of the land. if we exceed that, it's a real big step in the wrong direction. >> i agree with him on that. i do think, though, that he and lots of other people are stopping with the obamacare. you just get a little glimpse of it $635 million to create a website that doesn't work. that's the beginning of obamacare. they have had years to get this website up. websites today, you hire some young group of people from wherever they may be, and they can do websites for nothing. they spent $635 million on creating a website that doesn't work. this is the beginning of obamacare. i think that's probably a good beginning compared to what's going to happen ultimately. something has to happen with obamacare. and i will say, i think the republicans are getting further and further away

from that. they seem to almost, they're almost accepting it. and that's not a goodçó[ñ thing. >> youçó were for ted cruz defunding, and even though defunding got nowhere, they backed off defunding. they said delay. that got nowhere. now they're saying let's focus on the debt and deficit and the president is not dealing. when that poll came out onçó friday, the "wall street journal" poll that showed republicans taking a bath. talk about obamacare, even "the new york times" did a study. it's beyond glitches. it is a flatout disaster and no sign of getting better. you talk about a story that needs to be front and center, "the new york times" can't run from it.xd @&c3 the private contractors they hired,ñi oracle and this one called developmental seed are both ones that said don't look at us. we just did what we were supposed to. >> the real numbers at 400 million and 625 million. i just want to know who walked away with this money. ithink i'm going to go into the website-making

business. i have people that do this in my office. they make these fantastic websites for my different projects. they love doing it. they don't get -- you know, believeñr me, i don't spend a lot of money on websites. and they're very good and they work really well. i get implemented all the time -- i get complimented all the time, you have the bestñr websites. $635 million and itñr doesn't work. i wj$u o know who are the people and are they going to be on the forbes list of billionaires this year. >> and would you fire them? >> i would fire -- the people that did that website, i would fire them i would sue them toçó get the money back. >> what about kathleen sebelius who heads up health and human services? if the buck stops somewhere, it would be on her desk. clearly not the president's in this case. if you've got the biggest rollout of a product in the history of the united states, where people are compelled to buy it and you blow it this badly, what about her? >> you really have to say -- and i like her very

much, but in this case you would really have to say kathleen, you're fired. >> there's the sound bite of the day. donald trump joins us every monday at this time. we thank you very much. >> have a good time. see you next monday. >> eric hundererson, president of developmental seed. he said i did the front page but i don't know what happens after apply now. i just design the front page. with the color scheme? that's what you design? >> just for the fact that the "new york times" is saying they're not glitches. >> they couldn't get through. that was this reporter for "the new york times." they wanted to get through, and they couldn't. >> we were told we had to; right? >> coming up straight ahead at 11 minutes after the hour, are you frustrated with your government? you are not alone. peter johnson jr. asking the american people to tell him the truth. he's live from lucky's

>> good morning. we're here at lucky's cafe on the east side of manhattan, 34th and first. and here we talked to some of the folks with where we're going in this country. does the government have too much power? do the people count, or is it only about the power and privilege of politicians here in america? we've got three folks who said they want to talk to us and talk to "fox & friends." good morning, kathleen from bucks county. how are you? >> very well. and yourself? >> you told me, does the government have too much power? do the politicians care too much about their own power and privilege rather than the people? >> absolutely. >> tell me. >> i think it's represencible what's going on in this country. the president is a horrible president. he's the worst we've ever had. i know he has not followed the constitution. i think i as a work person, my

daughter as a working person, we have to follow rules. i think the government should follow the same rules. >> if we have obamacare, they should have obamacare. cara, you're here with your mom on columbus day. what are your thoughts about where we're going with this country and are we on the right track? you're a young person. what do young people think in this country? >> i think we kind of feel our hands are tied. they haven'ten found the right solution. i think they should be treated like children and solve the problem and find a better solution and don't come out until they can do that. i think somebody should be given back to the people while this is going on. we're the ones suffering and all of the workers that are suffering. so something should be -- there should be a reprove for us. >> the reprieve is, there were no negotiations for weeks between the president and the legislative leaders. if this government goes into default, if we don't pay our debts, if we don't have the money, should we throw out all

of congress and say, we can't put up with this as the memory people? >> i don't really have the answer to that. i don't know what the solution is. that's why i'm not in politics. but i think they should look to the right sources and find the solution 'cause it doesn't really seem -- there is always a solution for something. so they're just not going to the right people, i guess. >> kathleen and cara, thanks. let's talk to another young lady, sandra. also from bucks county, pennsylvania. good morning, sandra. do you have the same view, that our friends kathleen and cara do in terms of where the country is? >> the country is in terrible trouble. i think the congress, there is a lot of contempt for our democracy by the way they're functioning and it's wrong. i think the president is strong enough that he should hold his ground. >> he should hold his ground, even if the government goes into default. i mean, the world is saying to the president and to our leaders, listen, guy, get the act together. should that be the price? >> i think the president is

trying very hard, but he's working with a congress that is not functional and congress controls tremendous. >> exit question, does the government care more about their own power and privilege than the people? >> i think individuals in the house of representatives definitely do. >> good morning. >> thank you very much. >> here at lucky's cafe. we're feeling the pulse of america, or at least new york this morning. we'll be back with more questions and more answers, the truth about america here from lucky's kata in new york city. back to all my friends. >> all right, peter. excellent questions. does the federal government have too much power? we're hearing from the people there. yes. knowing peter johnson, now he'll have a short stack. >> thanks, peter. coming up, he helped work with the gop on a plan to end the senate shutdown. so why did his fellow democrats shoot it down? senator joe manchin live up next. >> a voice of reason. and a popular sports supplement

think in the best interest of our country of how we can get the country back open. the government open to serve the people that we came here to do and also get a long-term or a bigger deal basically and get into a conference. this thing has to go to budget conference. our agreement says they will do that. but i praise susan. she's been a wonderful friend and she's good to work with. we've got 12 of us been working very closely together and i think everyone is looking. i think the leadership is starting to look and say hey, this group stuck together for two weeks. they're still working in a concerted effort to put the country first and that's what we should be. we've taken politics out of it and seeing how we can move forward. >> you have taken politics out of it. susan collins has also. but i really can't say that fort majority of the people in the senate. for everybody who is just waking up, who didn't follow it over the weekend, here is what senator collins plans looks like. funds the debt limit through january, limits spending next year. that's a limit. and delays obamacare's medical

device tax for about two years and requires income verification for the obamacare subsidies. this is out there. there is hope everywhere. now comes harry reid and he says, like susan collins, the plan is dead. got to run, everybody. your reaction? >> i think maybe if harry could rethink that statement or take that back to the point where it's something he wasn't crazy about, a lot of the points, a loft our caucus wasn't, but it was something that was positive moving forward and we need to work more on it. i'm looking for the leadership of harry reid and mitch mcconnell to get together on the numbers and the dates as far as the cr, things of that sort. but yeah, that was something that i wish had not been said. >> you got to pull mcconnell and harry reid apart. they don't like each other personally and by all accounts, it's hurting the agreement. don't you agree? >> i agree basically you have to get along. we weren't sent here to be the best of friends. if that's the case -- we were

sent here to do the public work. i didn't sign up for public service because i was trying to -- who got you and blame and name. that's not what we're about. we're here serving the public and basically trying to relieve the pain that we're putting on. i never thought that i would ever be in an stocks that basically was here to help people and we were doing harm to them intentionally. it's just wrong. >> would you guess at this point, looking at thursday, we've been seeing it coming for a while. would you guess your plan, is this going to be the basis for a deal going forward? >> i sure think right now. there is 12 of us and it's been growing. when you have six democrats and six republicans that come from different backgrounds and coming together and put the country first and say listen, we're considering where our friends are, where our colleagues would be, how difficult a position they are. the politics of it. but also the good of the country. this is a good template. and i think it is the basis of what's going to happen. >> senator, i understand if you guys don't get done today, boehner will step up with a

different plan to get something done because we're running out of time. do you understand that? do you understand that that has to be a deal forward or do you think you have 'til thursday? >> i think every additional hour that we wait not doing something is the uncertainty the markets will get more skittish. the markets start getting skittish and start turning, it's hard to turn them around that quick. they need confidence from congress. we're here for this government. we're here for the people in this country. it should be about america first. and we're going to show them that we do have people on both sides of the aisle willing to put the country before ourselves. >> elisabeth and i talked about it on friday with steve. you were the one who pulled fisher house when you realized that those death benefits were not going to be given to those who lost their lives in battle and that shows the leadership in you and that's where you came from. thank you for joining us this morning. >> brian, thank you. i couldn't understand the bureaucracy has gotten so entwined. >> you take action. nobody else takes action. >> we got to.

[ male announcer ] a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day

can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. ♪ you have to let me know

welcome back. i have quick headlines for you. brand-new lead in the 2007 disappearance of the then three-year-old madeline mccannes. british police are releasing computer generated images of a man they want to question in connection with the case. they created the picture using two eyewitness account. a popular sports supplement may be secretly spiked with a product similar to meth. the powder is marketed as being all natural. natural columbus day.

thank you. today is columbus day, which means a lot of the kids are home from school. but do they know the history behind this holiday weekend? this monday in particular. chances are most of today's kids couldn't recall the details of columbus' historic voyage to america or why it's important today. brad sack wants to change that, founder of learn our history and joins us live this morning. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> for the kids who had the day you and thinking, columbus day, that's just an excuse for a day off. what is the significance to columbus day? >> every child knows 1492, columbus sailed the ocean blue. more importantly, it is the thing that began our great american experiment. every great thing we have in this united states from our western values, capitalism, our judeo christian religion and culture all started with columbus making that incredible journey more than 500 years ago. >> i was reading this morning about columbus day and one of

the things he said about christopher columbus is perhaps his most enduring legacy the introduction of christianity to this hemisphere. >> that's a fascinating point. columbus was a man much deep faith and it was really important to him to spread that faith. one of the things we really focus on is the godly history of america. and we actually just came out with a new film called "one nation under god" and it talks about the place of god and how important he's been at every phase of our development. we think it's so important, we're giving it away for free at freegoddvd.com. that's a dvd that you sit down and watch american history with your children so they can fill in the blanks, stuff they don't learn at school. >> there are so many things they aren't learning. and we also have on-line streaming and great learning guides that can help parents explore these important topics with their kids. >> what do you think -- what could the lawmakers in washington, d.c. learn from columbus' example? brian and elisabeth were just

talking to joe manchin in washington, d.c. because they're at logger heads right now. >> they are. it's amazing when you think about the history of government shutdowns and as some of your viewers know, this is the 18th shutdown since 1976. incredibly, jimmy carter had six of them on his own watch, even though he had two house of congress both his own party. but it's important to understand that there is a moral component to this, a religious component about doing the right thing for the country and for your constituents. i think that the more that our lawmakers keep that in mind, the more quickly they'll be able to reach a resolution. >> let's hope so. once again, if parents would like your dvd? >> freegoddvd.com. >> that's easy. brad, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> enjoy your columbus day. >> you, too. coming up, good-bye, homework. a new trend taking your schools by storm. homework in the classroom? that's right. but there is a catch. former dc schools chons lar

also known as a jackass penguin because of the way they make the sound when hopping. >> like a donkey. >> this is a guest from the mystic aquarium. it's a wonderful creature. just an example of some of the animals we feature. >> did it show us that we can have penguins as pets by how calm he is right now? >> excellent question. they make terrible pets. >> really? >> in fact, it's very illegal to have one as a pet. we've got 17 species of penguins world wide, from south america to antarctica, to australia, what they all share in common is they're in trouble. their numbers with disappearing. including this species. we're heading down there with "ocean mysteries" for an ocean rescue. >> we understand we can't have animals on simultaneously. >> this is a snapping turtle? >> this is -- >> look at the snapper on that thing. >> if you like your knuckles, i'd keep them away. >> okay. how old is this one?

>> it will give you a new meaning of a mani? this is a giant alligator snapping turtle. probably pushing 70 years old. >> look at that thing. >> he'll probably open its mouth. we'll see if he does. but this is the largest freshwater turtle living in north america. this is a turtle that can be pushing upwards to 300 pounds. >> how did you find him? >> this animal was actually rescued during hurricane katrina. it was washed up on a road after being in salt artery and rescued. now it's used in a program, an educational program. this is an animal that can't start reproduce and replacing itself until it's 20 years old. they've actually found living turtles like this, they've rescued or discovered well in the 21st sentry where they -- they scrape it and found musket balls, flint from

arrowheads. >> people want the shell? >> they lived so long that literally they've been alive for centuryies. >> here -- >> we have the head go this way. >> you must go through your workers like daily. >> the last time i saw one of these i was in the australian outback. >> this is a crocodile. this was one of the favorite stories that we did in "ocean mysteries" about alligators. you're looking at one of america's greatest success stories. we often talk about the challenges we face. back in the '70s, this was a species that was nearly extinct. but because of good conservation, they've recovered. they're incredibly valuable. you're looking at nature's ultimate landscape architect. >> for example, what does he eat that helps nature? >> he eats all sorts of stuff. when they're babies, they're an

important source of food for snakes, for birds, fish. when these animals are moving through the wetlands where they live, their bodies, as you see they swing back and forth, they'll carve out rivulets. >> he doesn't want to be on cable television. >> how do you tell a difference between a crocodile and alligator? >> excellent question. if you look at the face, a crocodile has -- he's going to give you a good look. they have a much more narrow or muzzle. the teeth are lined up differently. i'm going to show you something cool. close up on the eye there. i'm going to show you something cool about the gators. watch what he does when i open it. watch, it opens up. you can see that membrane. >> yeah. >> it's like a snorkelless eye glass. >> we're going to learn so much on season 3. thanks for bringing him. >> this saturday. new england premiere. this saturday. >> look at this snake that didn't make it.

on this columbus day. "fox & friends," according to steve and elisabeth, starts right now. >> i'm daney devito and you're watching "fox & friends" and i'm sitting here with a nice cold lemon cello. >> right. we got him before he went to "the view." were you on the show that time? >> i could have been. >> danny devito seems to have tried lemon cello? >> perhaps i was there, yes. on the far side. >> that was a very interesting day. >> it was. >> today is the very interesting day. it's columbus day. a lot of people have the day off. somebody who does not is bret baier who joins us from our nation's capitol, sucking down some gentleman have a. >> that's not -- java. >> that's not lemon cello. >> bret, a lot of people are starting to hit the sauce thinking what's washington doing? give us an update. where are we right now, because it looked like the house had something.

looks like the president might go along with it and then he said nope, not interested. >> when we left friday, you all know the markets had soared. there was this sense in the city that things were headed in the right direction, even for a short-term deal. that kind of disappeared over the weekend as the senate went back and forth and the negotiations stalled. i know you had senator manchin on and he expressed some frustration about all of that. the bottom line is that senate democrats came to the point that they -- not to get too technical, they wants to do start the funding at a presequester level. you had republicans like bob cork who are is usually all for negotiating back and forth until the deal is done, saying that this fight typically you get to a point where you try to create reforms to agree to something to raise spending from previously agreed to levels, i just can't imagine that has any possibility of becoming law. and they fell apart. now we are back to really ground zero. >> here is the school of thought, see if you subscribe to

it, that "wall street journal" poll comes out on friday. it shows democrats winning big in public opinion. republicans taking a beating. they say, wait a second. they don't have to give in to this. in fact, let's go get rid of something we hate, like sequester. we're not going to give people freedom to spend the way they want. we're going to get rid of the spending controls all together. so they move the goal post a place where even democrats are saying, i think this is overreach. >> yeah. and many republicans obviously are saying that they believe senate democrats are overreaching. some democrats are saying it, as you mentioned. there is still a glimmer of hope that they could come to some other time frame that they negotiate a deal similar to senator collins and senator manchin's proposal that takes them up through mid-december. the next round of sequester cuts comes january 15th. and so there would be some kind of mechanism that starts a negotiation before that. there is still some hope. last week i was quoting dumb and dumber, so you're saying there

is a chance? and i think there is a chance, but boy, it doesn't seem great. >> before you mentioned joe manchin, when we spoke to him earlier on, this is not why we got into this, to create a stalemate. wrong to do this to the american people. listen to this. >> i didn't sign up for public service because i was trying to who got you and blame and name. that's not what we're about. we're here basically serving the public and basically trying to relieve the pain that we're putting on. i never thought that i would ever be in the institution that basically was here to help people and we were doing harm to them intentionally. it's just wrong. >> the voice of reason, isn't he? >> he is. and he's got others in that kind of caucus, bipartisan effort to try to get to some solution. you had senator dick durbin over the weekend saying it's like having a damsel in distress on the tracks and everybody thinks that everybody is going to pull her off, but we can hear the whistle coming and the whistle

is getting louder and louder. i'll tell you, for all of the people who think there is just going to be some solution automatically, there are more people in the camp of wow. this may actually happen. >> my analogy would be polly purebread and underdog. steve, go ahead. >> for the young people, they don't know what that means. the senate will convene at 2:00 o'clock and the house are vote on something today at 6:30. all right, let's talk about this: the president and his supporters have had -- and his administration have had three years to get this obamacare web site up and running and it's been a complete stinkeroo. the "washington post," "new york times" have turned on the administration. here is a quotation from the "new york times." for the past 12 days, a system costing more than $400 million has thwarted the efforts of millions to simply log on. the growing national outcry has deeply embarrassed the white house, which has refused to say how many people have enrolled through the federal exchange. and then the "washington post," we've got one more says: the

federal exchange is marred by snags beyond wildly publicized computer gridlock that thwarted americans trying to buy a health plan. you know, since this has turned out to be such a catastrophe, and it's not a glitch. it's a computer catastrophe, is anybody's head going to really on this? >> i think that's a great question. there have been some hearings up on capitol hill about the rollout and what exactly happened. it's more than 600 million, i believe, that was spent on the computer system. and there are more and more organizations reporting that it's systemic and it's not just a glitch. imagine if a company rolled out a product and the web site, to get everybody to buy the product, was like this, it would not be doing well in the marketplace. whether they can turn it around and fix it is really the question. and there is not a sense that the administration is ready to fire somebody over what has happened, even though it's

really bad pr. >> as the "new york times" says, the longer it goes, the more worried they should be about the overall success of the program. even the biggest optimists. where did you graduate college, bret? >> depaul university. >> did you get a special award this weekend? >> i did, indeed. distinguished alum. >> what did that feel like? >> the best. >> is that where you met steve hayes? >> he was in my fraternity. >> really? that's the reason he's on the panel so much is because he has so many stories about me. >> so when he shows up to do the panel, do you have the secret handshake and do you have the other panelists turn away? >> yes, yes. >> congratulations on your great honor. >> thank you very much. >> we're honored you would join us every monday. the great bret baier. >> have a good one. >> congratulations. >> when they see the secret handshake and she does not know what they know. heather nauert has the news.

>> i highly doubt she's jealous of that one. got some headlines to bring you. an update on a fox news alert that we brought you. new details coming in on a major terror raid in london. right now police are questioning four men in their 20s on terror charges. six locations and two vehicles are now being searched at this hour. officials are reportedly calling the alleged plot potentially very serious. but we understand it's not on the scale of a major attack. that's what we're hearing right now. police have been monitoring these suspects. the officials unit made their arrest and fired special ammunition to blow out the tires of that car that was carrying two of the suspects. british police rarely carry guns, so their involvement suggests the guys may have been armed. we'll keep looking into this one for you. these pictures are outrageous. 30 people had to be pulled from the water after a party boat went under. it was a 45-foot boat and it was taking people to a columbus day

celebration at a sandbar at a beach in miami. on the way back, it capsized. >> nobody had a life vest on when we rescued them. it's a miracle nobody died right now. it's a miracle nobody died. >> the person driving the boat was not a licensed captain and the vessel was apparently crudely made of, quote, many different things. a missing california man in a separate story, found alive after he's lost in the wilderness for 18 days. he's 72 years old and his sons said their father survived by eating squirrels, lizards and snakes. >> survival mode kicked in. when you have no food for 18 days, whatever protein you can get, he did. >> that ordeal began when his father lost his hunting partner. he tripped and then lost consciousness in the steep terrain there. after nearly three weeks, another group of hunters eventually spotted him, bringing

him safely out of the forest. congratulations to him. remember young tom hanks playing chopsticks in this scene from the movie "big" back in 1988? ♪ >> the actor proved he could still tickle the ivories 25 years later. he recreated that moment with sandra bullock. look at this. ♪ >> they were guests on a british talk show. those are your headlines. >> sandra bullock together? >> great. >> huge piano? >> i'm thinking the movie "big," they filmed that at fao schwartz. for years, they might still have that piano, where you can walk across it. >> i think they still do. have you tried it?

>> i did at that time. ♪ >> i like that. >> i think some day people will play the piano with their hands. >> his idea was big. coming up, he's done if before, bob costas using half time to give his opinion on a controversial story and that is the nickname redskins, as washington's football team. what he says causing many to get angry. >> and some say good-bye to homework. a new trend taking some schools by storm where your kids watch a film. but there is a catch. former dc schools chancellor michelle rhee is here. forget about homework? not so fast. >> special thanks to michael jackson. ♪ [ female announcer ] the best thing about this bar

how would your kids like to never do homework again? a new trend in teaching called flipping promises to turn homework into class work. the catch? kids have to watch their teachers' lecture the night before, either on their computer or their smart phone. is this the faltering education system needs? let's talk to the former chancellor of washington, d.c. public schools and the founder of students first, michelle rhee who joins us from the beautiful city of sacramento. good morning. >> good morning. >> explain what a flip school or flip classroom does. >> so in a flipped classroom scenario, what happens is when the kids are at home, normally doing their homework, they're actually watching a lecture or a lesson. and so they're getting the information or the instruction when they're at home and then had they go to school the next

day, the teacher is answering whatever questions they might have, they're practicing the concept. and they're there while the instructor is there struggling through things to make sure that they understand the concept and know how to do it. >> some people looking in might think, that's just stupid. if the teacher is there, they should be teaching the class. but when you look at the results, it all got started at clintondale high school, to the north of detroit. and one of the principals there had been apparently he had done some lessons on sports on-line. his players all got much better at it. suggested to some of the teachers that they try it. and since then, their performances have gone through the roof. >> you know, the american public education system hasn't changed a lot in the last 100 years. we're doing a lot of the same things the same way and obviously that hasn't worked. this is an innovation that could have a lot of potential for kids across the country, the idea

that you're watching something when you're at home and then when you actually have the questions and you need to practice it, there is somebody there to help you through. so that concept could work. i think the one thing that we need to be cognizant of is the digital divide. some communities, not all kids are going to have access to the internet, to the wireless network and they won't necessarily have the technology. so making sure that innovations like this can reach all kids would be the important challenge. >> that is a challenge. the other great thing about this flipped classroom thing is some kids are embarrassed to hold up their hands and ask a question, whereas if the lesson is on their smart phone or device, they can just watch it over and over and over until they get it. and that's really -- it has helped a lot of these kids. i want to ask you one other thing about it. there are some -- here in new york city, apparently at some level here in the school district, what they're doing is starting to submit the children

who are four and five years old to standardized tests for kindergarteners. do you think that is a good idea? heather nauert mentioned at that age, a lot of children have trouble holding a pencil. >> i think it makes lots of people nervous to think about young kids sort of being involved in standardized tests. but the bottom line is, especially now when there is a lot of talk about increased taxpayer investment into, for example, preschool, we have to have ways of knowing whether those programs are effective, whether they're a good use of taxpayer dollars and in order to do that, we need to know whether kids are learning. the whole point of preschool is make sure kids are more ready for kindergarten when they get there. so understanding whether or not students are learning their letters, learning their numbers, there has to be a standardized way of doing that. but i think there is also a way we can assess kids while at the

same time sort of not putting them in a situation where they get really nervous. i think hitting the balance is what's important. >> it's just figuring out the fair and balanced part. michelle, always a pleasure. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. it's exactly 19 minutes after the top of the hour on this columbus day. should illegal immigrants be allowed to get in-state tuition? governor chris christie of new jersey just weighed in and his response is surprising some people this morning. a great story for all you girls watching. you can do anything a boy can do. samantha gordon with the ball in those images is going to prove that coming up.

now america is finding themselves offended by this. listen to bob costas. >> think for a moment about the term, redskins. and how it truly differs from all the others. ask yourself what the equivalent would be if directed toward african-americans, hispanics, asians, or members of any other ethnic group. when considered that way, redskins can't possibly honor a heritage or a noble character trait, nor can it possibly be considered a neutral term. it's an insult, a slur no matter how benign the present day intent. >> interesting, right? bek -- i like bob costas and i think they were taken off guard. asking the question, think about it, how do you feel about it, is it offensive? i think what people on-line were saying and across twitter were, hey, it took you 30 years? you've been in the business how many games did you call and never have an issue with saying redskins?
