stories we'll see here first. jon: speculation mounts on another clinton run for the white house in 2016, a new book suggest that is at power couple kept a list of high-profile "friends and enemies." so who is on which ledgeer? plus, convicted murderer jody arias back in court after denying a direct order from the judge. and can caffeine make you sharper? drink the coffee. our doctor is in to filter through all the facts. it is all "happening now." jenna: hello, everybody. i hope you had your coffee this morning or your tea or whatever else, right, jon? jon: beneficial effects. >> get you started on the week. great to see you. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. welcome to this hour of "happening now." we begin with more problems for obamacare this time with the spanish language version of the

website. the site launched more than two months late. a new report says the spanish translation is often wrong with grammatical errors. the government is replacing those in charge of the main site, cgi. the site is contracted to accenture. we have john mccome mick, from "the weekly standard" and ed o'keefe, reporter for "the washington post." ed, to you first. there are students at university of mexico, according to the ap, who ran the website, took a look at the website, said basically it just has been run through some kind of a computer-generated translation process. >> yeah. this is a big, sort of untold story of the health care reform debacles. good of you guys to point it out. it has been brewing in spanish language media ever since the start, the fact that this site has poor translations. it provides confusing information to people who need to be signing up or want to sign

up for health care under this. numbers are coming in much lower than anticipated in part because people say it has been so confusing. in many cases they have given up and switched over to healthcare.gov, the english site because the language translations are so poor. jon: i'm not at all fluent in spanish but i'm told the title of the website itself, the spanish language version of the website can be translated for the caution of health. that is example for our english-speaking viewers. >> my spanish speaking mother would certainly furrow her brow at that and so would my relatives. i think it's a good example, here they were trying in good faith to do it and completely screwed it up it appears. it will likely contribute to getting enough people to sign up. if the site lax credibility with certain segment of people, why would they want to seek out health care on it? jon: jon, another black eye for the administration? >> it is certainly a big embarassment and it's a real

problem here. not only do they translate words like premium into prima, female coverage, not what you pay for your health care, this is big problem getting people to sign up. most crucial people you need signing up are young, healthy, uninsured are and hispanic americans have much higher uninsured rate than other americans. those are exactly people you want signed up to get in the system. many of these people would qualify for subsidies. they would be most likely to benefit from the law, people the administration needs the most in these exchanges and yet this is another embarrassing situation where the site, not only has it not translated the words correctly but even buggier and more difficult to use than the problematic healthcare.gov. jon: one sample that the ap apparently alerted the department of health and human services to is that you start this form in spanish and you hit the compare plans button, it takes you to a english web page or at least it did. that is the kind of glitch that

people have been seeing. >> yeah. i mean we've seen some examples of this in the english site but the fact that you're having it with the spanish site arguably more troubling because the type of people this law is designed to help, younger, low income, i mean, you know, a lot of those are spanish-speaking americans or immigrants who have come here and who are certainly in need of this, desperate to sign up for it. the spanish language media has done a very good job explaining complexities of this throughout the process, in the lead up, the month since, but government is having problems explaining it to people as well. jon: john, the federal government has tried to blame problems on federal hiring rules? >> they can blame the contractors as much as they want but the end of the day they hired the contractors and decided to launch the website with all the problems. you have to wonder wouldn't it be better to wait until the website works before you launch it? you have to think the

administration, president, democrats in general will pay a price politically. hispanic voters there, is staggering 23-point drop in support of the president over the past year. the romney campaign thought obamacare was very popular with hispanic voters. what gallup found as the law unfolded hispanic voters don't like what they see, maybe more so than other voters. their views are less firm and less tied to a political party. these are really swing voters out there. you have to wonder what the impact will be in november? jon: that's what we're getting for our hundreds of millions of dollars to build a website. john mccormick from "the weekly standard," ed o'keefe from the "washington post." thank you both. >> great to be with you. jenna: breaking news out of the sports world. yankees slugger alex rodriguez taking the battle over his suspension to federal court this after a ruling over the weekend that the highest paid player in major league baseball will be out for the entire 2014 season as punishment for his alleged drug use. rick leventhal is live with

more. rick, big interview last night on "60 minutes." they talked about the man, they talked to the man billed as heart of the scandal. what did we learn that we hadn't learn before. >> reporter: anthony bosch who ran the miami clinic who allegedly provided performance-enhancing drugs to alex rodriguez and more than dozen other players he defended himself but had a lot to say about a-rod himself. 13 players accepted the suspension after the scandal broke. a-rod appealed and found up finishing the on the field. bosch, mlb's principle witness says a-rod was very aggressive and motivated to cheat hoping to become the sole member of the 800 home run club. >> once alex rodriguez was fully into your protocol, what were the various banned substance that is he was taking? >> testosterone.

insulin growth factor-1. human growth hormone. and some different forms of peptides. >> all of them banned? >> all of them banned. >> and he knew that? >> yes, he did. >> and you knew that? >> and i knew that. >> was rodriguez injecting himself with these substances? >> i would secure needles. so, at times he would ask me to inject. >> you have injected him? >> yes. >> personally? >> personally. >> reporter: bush also told "60 minutes" that a-rod's associates tried to bribe him to keep quiet and get him to leave the country and indirectly threatened his life, jenna. jenna: those are really big accusations. a-rod's lawyers, what is their response? >> reporter: rodriguez is trying to get a federal judge to reverse baseball's ruling claiming he is a victim of a

vendetta by commissioner bud selig. aft rod's lawyer joe tacopina had harsh words about the "60 minutes" pies. every baseball fan and should be disgusted by the salem witch trials displayed and future trampling of player's rights. according to rodriguez first player accused of wrongdoing not to testify in his own defense. the suspension will cost him $25 million, jenna. jenna: we'll talk a little more about this story throughout the program, rick. thank you very much. one of the questions for joe tacopina when he joins us is about that. with why didn't a-rod testify on his own behalf when he could? joe joins us next hour. we have our legal panel coming up what to expect this week when it comes to this big case. jon: it is interesting to hear what tacopina had to say. chemical agents are arriving at about 300,000 people in west virginia continue doing without clean tapwater for a

fifth consecutive day. this after a chemical spill tainted their water supply last week. residents in nine counties were warned not to use tapwater for bathing cooking or cleaning until the water system is flushed. peter doocy is live in washington with the latest for us. how long is it going to be until they get their water again, peteer? >> reporter: don't know just yet, jon but the governor of west virginia is saying he can see a light at the end of the tunnel as officials continue testing the contaminated water. as soon as chemical traces disappear, robo calls and interactive maps online will notify residents one area at a sometime that it is okay to turn on the tap. downtown charleston is reportedly will be the first to have the ban lifted. once it is residents must protect their personal property before things can completely return to normal. >> communications will go out shortly to all county superintendents with protocol information for steps to plush systems, to steps to take in

order to claim all, clean all equipment and appliances that may have been in contact with any contaminated water. >> reporter: right now flushing toilets is all the contaminated water in west virginia is good for. just doing a load of laundry can make you sick and 10 people have been admitted to local hospitals but none of them are in serious condition, jon. jon: i guess small businesses are really feeling the hurt from all of this? >> reporter: yeah. businesses are struggling because they need water just as much or more than many homes. even business that is are using bottled water and hand sanitizetory keep their doors open aren't seeing much foot traffic right now because so many other shops and resources are shut down. so the state might soon step in. >> might be in the terms of a no or small business loan that are small, small amounts of money because what's happening for this whole weekend, these last four days, you're not making any

money but you still have bills to go out and you still have to pay those bills. >> reporter: the last time the facility that leaked chemicals into the elk river got a visit from environmental inspectors, was 1991, according to a new report in "the wall street journal." jon: i'm sure that is something they will be looking at as a well. peter doocy in washington, thanks. je most powerful names in washington, bill and hillary clinton and a new book claims they create ad enemy's list after hillary's failed 2008 white house run. we'll have new insight from karl rove on that report. an entire community at risk. police report an arsonist is growing bolder by the day. the latest effort to bring him to justice before he strikes again. >> i want him to turn himself in or somebody catch him or something so we could be in peace again. ♪

jenna: right now a manhunt underway in california for a

dangerous arsonist. police say he is growing bolder by the day after a string of fires in the san jose area that appear to be intentionally set including two just yesterday. adam housley live in los angeles with more on this story. adam, why do they think it's arson? >> reporter: well very suspicious circumstances first of all. arson investigators can tell you right away whether they believe it is arson fire. 12 fires suspicious just since wednesday, two on saturday, two on sunday as well. these fires of course very dangerous. you can see here the video people had to escape from that home when a jogger actually saw the fire, banged on the door, got people out and ran down the street to a firehouse and got firefighters to come down the street. he was person that alerted. another fire over the weekend. the sound ever breaking glass and the smoke detectors got a woman and her house out of the house. so a very dangerous situation in the san jose area and when you talk to people in these neighborhoods, one area in particular, not far from downtown, they will tell you

they're very worried about this string of fires. >> i have don't feel safe anymore, me and my children. i don't feel safe at all. >> i'm very worried. you see all the kids. we have to watch over them. >> i just want him to turn himself in or somebody catch him or something so we can be in peace again. >> reporter: once again 12 fires, jenna, suspicious, just since wednesday in this one area including the in the backyard of a church that tried to burn the church down, this person tried to burn a church down it looks like. jenna: speaking of peace for the families, are they any suspects yet and how is the manhunt proceeding at this time? >> reporter: san jose fire department put out a sketch of a suspect they believe they have seen in number of surveillance videos. we'll show you the sketch first and give a description of him. he is described as white or latino man, 25 to 40, six feet tall, weighing 180 pounds. the witnesses believe the man was wearing baggie clothes, large frame glasses and very

thin. they offered a 10,000 dollar reward as well. we have surveillance video. they believe a number of videos firefighters are looking at. in this video they believe they see the suspect walking away. we do know a city councilman is seeking volunteers to takeover night shift, two hours at a time, urging residents not to do anything if they see anybody, but keep eye out in the neighborhood not far from downtown san jose which is all taking place, we have arson fires across the country every year. take this into account. 12 in this one area since wednesday. this is a major american city. obviously very serious concern for people in the san jose area. jenna. >> story we'll continue to watch. adam, thank you. jon: a standoff between the white house and congress over iran. the president threatening to veto any new sanctions on iran as tehran agrees to let more inspectors in. and convicted murderer jody arias back in court as she defiz a judge's order to stay off the

death penalty at her trial but jury could not agree on a sentence. a second penalty phase was ordered with a new jury. prosecutors are pushing hard for the death penalty and arias's defense team has been fighting back in real trial hearings. meanwhile arias is using twitter to sell wristbands to pay for her defense. they cost 25 bucks each. a website on her behalf, quote, every purchase is a pledge towards the fight for jody's freedom. other wristbands are being sold, prompting joe di to warn her 79,000 twitter followers, the only wristbands i endorse are the white ones sold at joe di's page.com. arias is not allowed to access a cell phone or computer from prison and it is not clear who is tweeting on her behalf. the date for her new sentencing trial could be today in phoenix. jon? jon: patti ann browne from the newsroom. thanks. jenna: iran agreeing to a start date for new deal struck with

the u.s. and five other world powers. next monday iran says it will begin scaling back its nuclear program for at least six months including eliminating some of its stockpile of highly-enriched uranium. the news comes as the white house battles congress over increased sanctions against tehran. joining us the executive director for the foundation of defense for democracies. mark, you have been a critic of this deal in the past. >> what: do you think you have seen over the past few hours? >> general that, the deal has positive aspects to it but has major loopholes the iranians are going to explode over the -- exploit over the next six months. one example it allows iran to do research and development on advanced centrifuges, on second, 30, fourth, fifth generation centrifuges that have no other purpose to build a nuclear weapon and weaponize uranium. they can do research in the next six months and have to be in a position for significant nuclear

leverage when it comes to negotiating a final deal. a deal rid dipped with loopholes. jenna: secretary kerry says we've taken a considerable step toward verifying solution that prevents iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. you're saying it doesn't prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in the long run. >> not only am i saying that but actually the deputy nuclear negotiator and deputy foreign minister of iran said to his people on it. v, this is a reversible deal. we will never dismantle one single centrifuge. we will continue to insist on iran's right to enrichment. he is signaling to his people they have every intention of continuing to do what they have done for years, which is engage in nuclear mendacity with the objective of building a nuclear weapon. jenna: interesting "the washington post" phrases it as the world's best chance. this is the way they describe the administration feels about it. they're saying that the administration feels this is the world's best chance to solve the nuclear program. obviously folks in congress

disagree with that, that want to push the sanctions and you've been a supporter of more sanctions to come. why would you want that now because the president is very clear if any sanctions get to his desk he have will veto them? >> jenna, i think the view on the hill is that congress is actually passed the toughest sanctions over of the past few years. that the administration objected to them. congress overrode the objections. it was the tough sanctions that worked getting the iranians to the negotiating table and the administration embraced the top sanctions and thanked congress for the help giving u.s. negotiators increased leverage. the fact of the matter congress feels vindicated. they feel the administration was wrong opposing sanctions over the past two years. they believe it is only sanctions and increased negotiating leverage that have any chance resolving this problem peacefully and preventing iranian nuclear weapon or israeli military strikes to forestall the possibility. jenna: interesting to see where sanctions go in congress and legislature, especially in the

senate. i'm curious, your foundation put together a report what has happened over the last several months, when the talk of this interim nuclear deal started and that maybe we already provide some relief on the sanctions. it is interesting that the new york times really dives deep into iran as the number one state sponsor of terror and where they're using their money in different areas of the middle east. so mark, can you go a little bigger on that part of it? because we're so focused on the nuclear deal, what does the nuclear deal mean potentially for funds and where they're headed across the middle east and what iran is doing with that money? >> right, jenna. the problem with this deal, number one, we're giving billions of dollars back to iran's supreme leader, comb minute ney, and there are no restrictions that the money not be used to fund terrorism against americans or fund the nuclear program we're trying to stop. the second problem the negotiations in this new era of diplomacy with iran, iranian

economy is recovering, it is back on its feet. we see gdp growth rates go from negative 6% to positive territory, inflation cut in half. in other words the iranian economy is generating tens of billions of dollars in renewed economic activity a as a result of sanctions released and climate of deescalating sanctions. that is climate of economy and more powerful country exploiting power across the region, helping assad stay in power and helping to kill hundred of thousands of syrians and others and there is a region game on the march. that is the problem. this is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism that got billions to fund more terrorism. >> as "new york times" point out, not just syria but yemen, irbahrain, iraq and see iranian forces being put to work. thanks, mark. >> thanks, jenna for having me. jon: there is a new warning out for shoppers already rattled by a massive theft of data from target. what that retailer is now

jenna: right now a look at some stories still to come this hour. turns out street breaches hitting target and other retailers were much worse than we first thought. everything you need to know coming up. this is a great topic for a monday morning. helping you kick-start your brain power. what new research says about caffeine and your memory. plus tinseltown's brightest lights all in one place. highlights from last night's golden globe awards. jon: as the world speculates whether she will make another run for the white house a new book is shedding light on so-called naughty or nice list that the hillary clinton campaign created during her first run for the white house in 2008. according to excerpts of the new book, the clintons created a list of people they considered saint or sinners, essentially democrats who either endorsed hillary or did not. it ranks them on a scale of one to seven but the list goes into much more detail on those the clintons felt personally betrayed them.

some of the biggest so-called sinners were some of the most prominent people in washington. joining me now for more on this, karl rove, former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to president busch busch and a fox news contributor. george w. bush. is there anything out of the ordinary for this, karl, every president, top political leader meets a lot of people and has to know who is on their side and who isn't? >> let's put this in the context of the presidential campaign. it is not unusual in a presidential campaign to have a list of people you're attempting to get support from, rating them is one to seven. one is most gettable. one is they're on the other side. this is different kind of a rating. number one they were helpful and number 7 most treacherous. that is a little bit odd. that is an enemies list. not where we put our effort to get more endorsements for hillary. it is, who has really aggrieved us and who is really on the outs

with us? and that is odd, to spend as much time they apparently did compiling it and end of the campaign to formalize it and put it all on a big data sheet and spreadsheet and update it so the candidate, former candidate walks out what appears to be like an enemy as list. who do we feel most aggrieved at? in politics there are not permanent enemies or permanent friends that is the way politics operates. for mrs. clinton in particular to have directed her staff to make a list of my enemies and rank them how bad they were, is i think a little bit over the top. jon: the book is called, "hrc, state secrets and rebirth of hillary clinton." jonathan allen, long-time, powe lit could reporter and amy barnes. it would be political malpractice for the clintons not to keep track of their friends and enemies. the politicians do that everywhere. the difference is because the clintons because of popularity and positions they held retain

more power to reward and punish than anyone else in modern politics. while aides have long and detailed memories, the sheer volume of political figures they interact with make as cheat sheet indispensable. curious to me one of the people at the top of the list, one of the sevens, one of the real violators apparently of hillary clinton's trust is listed as former senator and now secretary of state john kerry, the guy who replaced her when she left the secretary of state's office. >> apparently they considered his endorsement of senator obama particularly treacherous as they did ted kennedy. and then claire mccaskill of missouri comes in for criticisms. she got into trouble even before the presidential campaign. she apparently in debate televised on a sunday morning talk program in 2006 referred to bill clinton as a great president but she wouldn't want him near her daughter. and the book recounts how over the next two years the

relationship between the clintons and claire mccaskill becames from at thisser ands from at thisser. -- frost at thisser. she earned a seven, kathleen sebelius the then governor of kansas and janet napolitano, then governor of arizona, all three endorsed barack obama on same day in order to give a very strong trio of women democrat endorsements that would be hurtful to hillary clinton. look, i want to such on something you said earlier. yes, in politics, people do like to remember their friends in order to reward them down the way but i found that the more, most successful politicians tend to be those who don't keep an enemies list. they may have somebody that clearly they don't like but they don't systematically say, all right, let's look back at everybody who might not have been with me and mark them down and rate them how bad they are. successful people in politics focus on broadening their list of friend, not on developing

lists of who has been naughty and who has been nice. who has been a saint. who has been a sinner. with the recognition anybody a sinner can never be anything but a sinner. that is not division. that is mult littlecation. that is subtraction, not addition in politics and doesn't make for very healthy kind of a campaign or a very healthy kind of an officeholder. jon: the book is not out yet but strict me as i read through the excerpts what happened here was very much in keeping with the whole tenor of the hillary rodham clinton campaign, she thought she was a shoo-in. then she wasn't. there were lots of people defecting to the barack obama campaign and giving support to the barack obama campaign. among them patrick leahy and senator bob casey. and late senator ted kennedy, very high-profile defects. people that the clintons or hillary clinton particularly thought they had locked up. >> congressman john lewis, the civil rights icon who endorsed hillary clinton at the beginning of the campaign and in the middle of campaign shifted

allegiances comes in for particular criticism. there are two things interesting to me about this one is that the idea it was so comprehensive, so directed from the top down, so much energy and effort was put into this and not just the friends list. who do we owe favors to but who are the enemies we have to sometime in the future gain revenge and extract retribution on. the other thing is, will be interesting to watch over the next couple of days, is anybody in the media going to bother to say, it's time for secretary clinton to answer these allegations raised by this book? it will be interesting to see. we're not seeing that on the bob gates' book who makes the charge that hillary clinton in his presence told president obama that she opposed the surge in iraq in 2007 because she was running for president. that she did it for political reasons. let's see if anybody asks about that. let's see if anybody asks about the new charges in this book that she compiled an enemies list. not helpful one of her former

aides is quoted in the book, i don't want to suggest it is an enemies list because i don't want to suggest hillary is nixon in a pantsuit. saying you don't want to do those things that it is an enemies list and looks suspiciously in this excerpt as nixon in a pantsuit. jon: these coauthors have long histories of political reporting in washington, d.c. and beyond. karl rove, thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: well this is a "fox business alert" now. turns out the data breach first reported at target may be just the tip of the iceberg for american shoppers. the company now confirming that as many as 110 million shoppers, for as many as 110, a third of the country, perhaps their information was stolen. as we're learning more about security breaches at other retailers. lauren simonetti from fox business network joins with us more. >> reporter: hi, jenna. the theme of the holiday shopping season and 2014 so far is turning out to be security

vulnerability. we're learning that cyber thieves have stolen more data, made more unauthorized purchases at more retailers than percent thought and ever imagined possible quite honestly. target confirming more than 100 million customers had their payment information, email addresses, mailing addresses or phone numbers stolen at the heart of the holiday shopping season and over the weekend luxury department store neiman marcus confirmed their customer information was also hacked around the same time as target but we're just providing about it now. the neiman hackers by the way, they were probably a lot more successful. here is prominent secure expert john mcafee on fox business this morning. >> the thing about neiman marcus, that was brilliant move on hackers part, the credit limits for neiman marcus cards, neiman marcus by the way up until 2011 used only american express or their own proprietary card, the limits are sometimes $50,000.

>> reporter: mercedes and diamond rings, right? it gets worse. three more stores broke breaches. it is not revealing stores names but operated at outlet stores are the same people that the launched the target attack. retailers reluctant to report breaches because it could hurt their business but the fact of the matter is we're all victims. >> every credit card has been stolen by the time you get it in the mail. >> reporter: that's scary, very, very scary. there is added pressure for congress to step up and have some sort of a single standard for communicating these data breaches. is it the company's job? is it the bank's job? is it the credit card issuers job? what are the rules here? jenna: what are really the facts. target's numbers keep going up from 40 to 70 million to 110 million. >> at first you low ball obviously and go further and further into the investigation and you find out more but there is a big lapse between when companies are finding out and when they're telling us. jenna: it is really scary.

lauren, thank you. >> reporter: good to see you. jon: i'm keeping close tab on my credit card statement. >> reporter: or cash. jon: yes. he is boston's most notorious mobster and now you can own some of "whitey" bulger's personal items. what police found and where the money that is raised go. and everybody is just waking up in hollywood after a wild night at the golden globes. the winners, the losers and highlights coming up in the fox 411. hi. i'm henry winkler.

study. dr. garner, why would this help your memory? >> what the caffeine does it inhibits a release of chemicals in the brain and as a result you buildup of good chemicals called dopamine. they improve your memory. it is a memory enhancer. jenna: does it matter how you get the caffeine? we've been talking about coffee. they used tab litts in the study so it was controlled. does it matter what form it is? >> doesn't matter. coffee, tea, or my favorite, chocolate. jenna: are you coffee drinker? do you take caffeine regularly? >> i take decaffinated coffee. i don't know why. it doesn't do anything. it is kind of a waste, right? stick with the chocolate. jenna: i'm a decaf person because coffee makes me nervous. can get my heart racing a little bit. you looked at studies that show the negative part of caffeine. there are quite a few negative parts. anxiety, depression, sleeplessness. >> most people tolerate caffeine after they take it couple days, their body gets used to it.

few harmful effects. always ask your doctor before you take it. jenna: what about children studying hard for tests in high school and college, is it wise for caffeine? >> not really. jenna: that is old wife's tale? >> what it can do is inhibit what you absorb so you don't absorb as much calcium. so your bones may become brittle. it fills up the stomach and you don't feel like eating so a kid doesn't get proper diet. you should never give coffee to a kid. jenna: what about it allows to you remember things better in a 24 hour period? what p weeks and months and years? >> it's a small study. they didn't go out weeks and months and years but it was the first time to go out 24 hours a ahead. they had you memorize something first and gave you the coffee afterwards. the coffee improved memory of those people who learned what they had to learn as opposed to other. first time it has been shown. jenna: do you think positive benefits of caffeine, this is

just one study. we've seen several. >> right. jenna: the positive benefits of caffeine outweigh the potential negatives in fact? >> the coffee lobby is very strong. jenna: that's right. >> i do think, alzheimer's, seems like a big thing. seems like it can improve people's cognitive ability with alzheimer's who take two cups of coffee a day. pancreatic cancer. there are side-effects. women who take it could have breasts become uncomfortable and swollen particular live those with fibrosis. jenna: i'm in minority on that a little bit. as you mentioned. what about folks that may be overdosing on coffee you? say coffee is safe or caffeine is safe up to a certain amount but is there a limit i guess is the question? >> most studies show up to six cups of coffee is no problem. most people have six cups of coffee. you come in. one in the morning and. jenna: what about candy bars. >> four of these are equal to

one cup of coffee. try to eat the dark chocolate. more healthy. jenna: get caffeine that ways. maybe improves the. >> this is from the catholic school. jenna: a little donation, get talil caffeine, a get a little chocolate and donate. dr. garner, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. jenna: does that give you green light to go ahead with the coffee in the morning? jon: i have coffee in the morning. four, five, six cups. jenna: he is always so calm right, dr. garner? nothing affects him. i would like to see him on 10 cups of coffee. >> never laughed at my jokes. jon: i just did. >> thank you. jon: dr. garner, thanks. still ahead has the media been fair covering new jersey governor chris christie and the bridge traffic scandal in the guarden state? we'll have a full breakdown on that. former secretary of defense robert gates defending and expanding on his criticism of president obama and members of his administration. the latest next. óqoqúúñ@

jenna: new developments on top stories and breaking news this hour. jon: features scathing criticisms of president obama by former secretary of defense robert gates. he says he has no regrets about his controversial new book. how is the white house reacting? new jersey governor chris christie and the bridge traffic scandal. are the media giving it the same treat many as other scandals of the day? we'll go in depth. court action in the a-rod doping case. he takes another shot at reversing his suspension. what his legal team is attempting as we hear from a star witness in the case. it's all "happening now." well, some brand new reaction to robert gates' controversial new memoir. i'm jon scott. jenna: hope you're after to a great monday. gates making it very clear in

the new interview he doesn't regret anything he wrote in a new book that criticizes the president. the pentagon chief standing by his criticisms and even as he defended his actions, he took another swipe at the commander in chief on his wartime leadership. >> i think that it's an honest account. look. people gave me a lot of credit when i was in office of being blunt and candid about what i felt about things. i could hardly be any less in writing a book. it was an absence of passion, this absence of a conviction of the importance of success that disturbed me. jenna: you saw two different versions there of gates, one because of an injury he suffered over the holidays. ed henry is live with the story examine more what's to come. >> inside the book there, what secretary gates does is contrast

what he saw during the transition when he was serving in the bush administration, transitioned to the obama administration late 2008 he reveals a confidential document, a transition document for the obama team that said flat until private they wanted to show the world they were going to focus on winning. he contrasts that with what he says he saw from the president in subsequent years that in gates' words, he was not fully supportive of the mission, didn't show passion for actually winning the war. here's gates specifically in the book. one passage i'll read for you, quote, the only military matter apart from leaks about which i ever sent deep passion on his part was don't ask, don't tell. for him, he said of the president, changing the law seemed to be the inevitable next step in the civil rights movement. he was also presumed to be passionate about health care reform but i wasn't present for those discussions. interesting because he's taking digs at the president there but you've seen the president's supporters say there are other parts of the book which

secretary gates is saying that as demander in chief, the president in the end made the right decisions. jenna: how is the white house handling all of this as it comes out day by day? >> you heard the former white house press secretary yesterday on "meet the press" saying, look. the president made a tough decision to surge troops to afghanistan in late 2009 which was against the advice of his political advisers, not very popular at the time, and you have other democrats saying on fox news sunday that this was a commander in chief that was willing to hear all views. >> very interesting. he gives high praise to president obama making decisive decisions. secretary gates agreed so the bottom line was that there was more harmony that you would think the headlines on the book. the one area where he talked about the frank decision that took place in the white house, that's president obama and i think that's good that he welcomes diverse opinions.

>> you hear the president's advisers saying it was important for the president to bring skepticism, not just to the war in afghanistan but the war in iraq when he came into office. you're certainly going to hear the critics, led by perhaps secretary gates, suggesting that the president was not fully behind his missions. jenna: thank you very much. >> good to see you. jon: for more on robert gates and his defense of a controversial new memoir, let's bring in the executive washington editor of the "wall street journal." in that town where you are now, gates' book is making waves. he defended the fact he chose to write about some of these meetings he had with the president and the power structure within the white house before or while this president is still in office. said it hardly made sense to wait until 2017 to let some of this stuff out. do you agree? >> well, look. there are two schools of thought about that. one is the loyalist school which essentially says, you know, you have an obligation to keep your

mouth shut until the president you served is out of office and the other school says the public debate on all these issues is underway as secretary gates himself has said, if you want to have an impact on that debate, this is your chance to speak up and do that. i don't know that there's a right answer to that. in the last several administrations, we've seen both versions of that memoir writing approach taken so i don't know that there's a right or wrong answer. one thing that is true, it did surprise some people a little bit that bob gates, sort every the master of discretion in washington for a lng time, chose to take this path. i think he's probably, based on other things he's been saying the last 24 hours, a little frustrated with the way some of the things he said about president obama have actually been characterized. jon: he does say people took a lot of his remarks out of context. >> yeah. and that's right. and look. we've run two long excerpts out of the book and if you look at those closely, one of the things you take from that is that the secretary gates is actually much more critical of the white house

operation more broadly than he . as he said a couple of times ultimately the president made decisions on afghanistan and iraq that i agreed with, particularly on afghanistan which was the subject of a lot of debate. he was much more critical of others around the president on the white house staff and i think the thing that comes through is that what really bothered bob gates, the sense he had that people in the white house mistrusted the military, thought they were being pulled around by the uniform military and that suspicion, i think, is what really bothered secretary gates more than anything else. jon: he also writes about the president doubts that he had, regarding the surge strategy, the president ordered the surge in afghanistan, got it underway but then almost always right away wasn't sure whether it was going to work. seemed confused or seems less than certain that the strategy had ordered was the right one. >> right. and two things are interesting about that.

one is that to read the gates' sdipgs of the decision at the end of 2009 to put 30,000 more troops into afghanistan, that's to realize how alone the president is in the white house. it seems that almost nobody else was fully enthused with that idea but did he it anyway. yeah, he started to have some doubts fairly soon afterwards. i think that in some ways, i think bob gates probably shared those doubts. everybody viewed that decision as the least bad of a bunch of bad options and i think they, again, on that front, i think the gates' critique is more than anything else, having made the decision, the president should have more passionately argued or seen it through. jon: reporting from washington, jerry, thank you. >> sure. happy to be with you. jenna: we'll stay in the nation's capital now. the senate resuming debate over extending unemployment benefits for more than one million americans. one factor that may change the

dynamics is last friday's jobs report. mike? >> hi, jenna. to get this done in the senate, majority leader harry reid needs the support of at least five republicans. six g.o.p. senators voted yes last week on initial procedural vote to extend unemployment benefits. but most want to find a way to pay for the 1.# million people and some would like to include job training or other measures to get folks back to work. republicans have expressed frustration because so far democratic leadership has not extended votes. >> if we could have open debate in the united states senate and amendments, then maybe we could make it better in the wrong run. we heard there are negotiations going on as we speak. instead, it's being ramped through, cut off debate, no amendments and that's not the way the senate should function. now, have we got that message across well enough yet?

no. but i think we can. >> majority leader reid spokesman said that reid is willing to consider a reasonable number of relevant g.o.p. amendments. here is the majority leader in his own words last friday. >> they should propose an off set that might pass. they should also stop masking their relukt answer to extend the amendments. >> republican sources say there is a path forward but it would help if reid would be less combative. i've learned that the six republican senators are holding a conference call and also due to meet face to face this afternoon to find out if they can find a path forward and perhaps lead to a breakthrough. jenna: we'll see what happens. mike, thank you. jon: a very solemn scene at the site of the costa concordia ship wreck as dozens of friends,

family and survivors gather to remember their loved ones two years after that disaster. plus talk about a detour. passengers on a southwest flight are left in shock after the plane lands at the wrong airport. one with a much shorter runway. how could it happen? we'll have a live report coming up. >> honestly i thought the landing was a little bumpy but we kind of were pushed forward where we almost hit our heads on the seat in front of us but other than that, i was surprised when they came on the entercom and we're like, oh, we're at the wrong station -- not station but airport.

jon: happening now, a major mixup after a commercial jet lands at the wrong airport. the southwest airlines flight was supposed to land at missouri's branson airport. instead it touched down at an airport seven miles away with a runway only half as long.

>> we knew it was nothing in front of us. you could tell that from afar. >> as far as i knew, it was a regularly skilled pilot and -- except the landing when we landed at the wrong airport. jon: garrett has more. >> not only was it the wrong airport and a smaller airport with a smaller runway but the airport wasn't even open when this flight landed. southwest airlines have not commented just how this happened but we spoke with commercial pilot robert mark. he's all the publisher of the blog "jet wind." and he said one possible explanation is the captain turned off the auto pilot or wasn't even looking at it as they were landing the plane. because the airports are only seven miles away, the pilot likely just confused one airport for the other. the f.a.a. is now investigating this incident as well but really, it's a miracle this ended as well as it did with no

injuries. the runway at the downtown airport where the flight landed is nearly half the length of the runway at branson airport. passengers say they could hear the brakes screeching and smell smoke as the pilot worked to stop the plane on the shorter runway. the sheriff tells us there was only about 300 feet of runway left when the plane stopped. at the end of the runway is a 40 foot dropoff and then u.s. highway 65 where traffic is very active. now, in a statement, southwest airlines say in part, we expect the aircraft that landed to depart the airport today. we continue to look at the circumstances which led to the pilot in command of flight 4030. the airline says it has reached out to each customer individually to apologize and to issue a regunned as well as a

travel credit for the inconvenience of the experience. now, this is the second time in less than two months that a large jet has landed at the wrong airport. back in november, a boeing 747 that was delivering parts or was supposed to deliver parts at mc connell air force base in wichita, kansas landed at a small airport nine miles away. f.a.a. are continuing to investigate into this and find out just how it happened. jon: a little confusion in the cockpit. thanks. jenna: some international stories we're watching right now, dozens of friends and family remembering the victims of the costa concordia ship wreck at a memorial marking two years since the disaster. 32 people were killed when the cruise ship smashed against a reef and capsized. half submerged wreck still stands. crews say they hope to remove the wreckage by this summer. in the meantime, ship's captain

remains on trial in italy and faces up to 20 years in prison for his alleged role in the crash. some severe weather gripping the philippines. devastating floods and landslides killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more. this after two days of non stop rain over the weekend. storm also forcing thousands of people from their homes. forecasters say the rain isn't supposed to let up until wednesday making rescue pragues that much more difficult. jon: it's the bottom of the ninth for a-rod as he fights his year long suspension from the game of baseball. we'll talk with the yankee slugger's attorney live. plus did president obama go beyond his constitutional authority in appointing people to top jobs? we're live at the supreme court on an important test of presidential power. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

jenna: right now alex rodriguez taking one last bat as he fights his year long suspension. the scandal is going to federal court where he plans to ask a judge to reverse a ruling that a-rod has been steadfast in the past in saying his -- he broke no rules in baseball. take a listen >> did you do anything wrong? >> no. >> did you do any p.e.d.'s? >> no. >> did you obstruct justice? do anything they accuse you of doing? >> no. >> nothing? >> nothing. jenna: that's not the case to major league baseball. star witness in the doping scandal last night on "60 minutes" scott pelle asked anthony bosch what substances a-rod was using. here's his response.

>> testosterone, insulin growth factor one, human growth hormone and some different forms of peptides. >> all of them banned? >> all of them banned. >> he knew that? >> yes. he did. >> and you knew that. >> and i knew that. >> was rodriguez injecting himself with these substances? >> i was scared of needles so at times he would ask me to inject. jenna: only one of the 13 players suspended for a connection to bio genesis, that's the firm that bosch ran is fighting the punishment. joining me is the attorney for alex rodriguez. news of the day is you're going to federal court. have you done so? what do you hope to achieve by doing that? >> what we hope to achieve is

some fairness, just fundamental fairness in accordance with the law and in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement and the joint drug agreement and what we hope to achieve is having an independent, impartial fact finder take a look at what has been presented and how the process played out and call it what it is. and overturn the award. jenna: you say there's a bigger picture to the story, it's not just about a-rod and i want to address that right away. even some critics and some viewers say this guy is a multi millionaire. the story is compelling about him. but you know, what does this really matter? what does this really matter to baseball? this is one guy. this is one story. what's your response to that? why is there a bigger picture for snu >> much bigger picture because of the way major league baseball conducted this investigation, conducted itself. you know, you have the commissioner and players now are very upset and really outraged that "60 minutes" piece played out the way it did.

you have the commissioner who wouldn't get on the witness stand at alex's proceeding -- jenna: let me ask you about that. bud selig has never testified before. major league baseball is allowed to have whoever they want to represent their case testify and in fact, that was the point they made last nigh minutes." let me just run that sound. >> sure. >> i think the most important point to remember is that for the first time in the history of the joint drug agreement, the player accused of wrong doing did not take the stand in his own defense. whatever mr. rodriguez has said publicly, the fact of the matter is the evidence in the case contains no denial from mr. rodriguez. jenna: what about that, joe? >> just unreal. a misleading statement. the first time in the history of the joint drug agreement exactly 1 1/2 years old. so it's a year and a half old. this is the first non analytical positive.

jenna: and that's true. there was no positive drug test which is part of the reason why there's some questions in this case z. and selig has testified in plenty of these proceedings. jenna: why hasn't your client? >> alex was supposed to testify on friday. we called bud selig. the man you just saw under oath testimony pointed upstairs and said i didn't decide the 200 game punishment. it was bud selig. it was his decision. he was required to answer tough questions about his understanding of the collective bargaining agreement. how it came to 211 games. why 211 for him but for others who failed the drug test was 50 or 65 games. jenna: i'll talk about that but it doesn't alleviate some questions about your client. he didn't testify. >> because the proceeding was a sham. it was a farce. when bud selig wouldn't take the stand despite our request to call him, to answer the very tough questions under oath that

he would be faced with, alex said i'm not participating in this charade any more. he left. he was scheduled to testify the next day. it was not even contemplated that bud selig would be blocked from testifying or the arbitrator would allow that. he was a vital witness. jenna: quick final question for you, joe. there have been other players associated with this scandal that have come forward and taken the punishment as given. we heard tony bosch saying that he injected a-rod and drew blood from him at a bathroom at a club. what do you make of all of this against your client? >> take a look what you have on your screen right there. all those other player there is were offered and received 50 games except for ryan braun who went on to a charade after he tested positive to dispurge the tax collector. 50 games are all offered. they're in the same position that legally alex rodriguez was and somehow he was told 211

games. jenna: what bosch said, is it fantasy? >> first of all, you talk about bosch like he's a doctor. here was a guy practicing without a license. he has all the motive in the world to tell a story to testify because the deal from mlb. they've given him deals. they promised to go to prosecutors on his behalf for giving drugs to children. jenna: great to see you as always. thanks for coming. our legal panel joins us. both are criminal defense attorneys and joe really is hitting a part of this case that has raised a lot of questions. that is about anthony bosch and this deal he got from major league baseball and his checkered past. how big of an issue is it despite some criticisms of

a-rod, what about that? >> it's a bigger issue than we all realize for one reason and one reason only. as joe pointed out earlier, there's no actual physical or forensic evidence for lack of a better word that a-rod was ever using performance enhancing substances. i know he admitted it way back when. but what we have here is anthony bosch's word against a-rod's word and with a suspension that is that enormous beyond what is allowed in the collective bargaining agreement, i don't blame a-rod or joe one bit for taking it to federal court to try to get an injunction. jenna: will the federal courts even get involved here? >> no. i don't think they'll get involved at all. unfortunately for a-rod, although i think it's a sham of what occurred, bottom line is they have an agreement, they have a collective bargaining agreeme agreement. they a degree to the binding arbitration and the federal court is not going to get involved unless there's a manifest injustice and i do not

think they're going to be able to find that. apparently this arbitrator is very well respected so i think a-rod will be out of luck on the federal side. jenna: then what? this is not a court of law in the traditional sense. this arbitrator that we see when we're talking about testifying, they're behind closed doors, it's different than on television, for example. so is that it? federal courts decide we're not getting involved here. then is that it for a-rod? >> it might be it but a-rod also has a state lawsuit going on against the league at the same time. i disagree with our other guest. when a-rod brings this to federal court, the judge has to determine whether or not irreparable harm will come to a-rod. how can you say it won't if it affects this season and his career going forward? i think a judge will get involved to give a-rod time to

fetter this out. jenna: major league baseball agreed to do the piece. they a degreed to put this witness that they're protecting security and all these other fees for out in front. does that complicate things now? the players union is coming out and saying this is bogus that major league baseball did this and the case against a-rod looks like this. >> i watched that "60 minutes" segment and i had to take a shower after that because i was so disgusted. all that is going to occur in the future the next time the players union and owners try to agree on a deal. for a-rod, he's bottom of the ninth, two out and down by a thousand runs. they agreed to go to the collective bargaining and now, you still have to get past the first hurdle proving a manifest injustice and i don't think they'll be able to show that and i don't think the federal courts are going to touch what has already occurred with the arbitration. jenna: it's a highly publicized case. the papers are on their way to federal court.

we'll see when it is filed. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. jon: mortar shells land in israel soon after ariel sharon's burial ceremony. we'll tell you how close the explosives were and what israel did to respond next. plus extreme weather hitting georgia. we have an update on the extent of the damage coming up.

jon: u.s. supreme court hearing arguments on the limit of presidential power frm justices deciding whether it was legal for president obama to bypass congress and appoint people to top positions. we're live at the supreme court with more on what's going on here. shannon? >> i just stepped out of arguments and it all boims down to this. there's a provision that provides for recess appointments. the president has the power to make the recession appoint manies when the senate is not in session. it boils down to the three appointments the president made to the national labor relations board just a couple of years ago when the senate said it was still in session. what was happening is someone was gavelling in every three days. they weren't conducting business but staying actively in session. the senate says there was no need for the president and really no right for the president, they argue, to step in and make the arguments. court gave an extra 30 minutes beyond what it normally does, gave 90 minutes to the argument

and today when the solicitor general was arguing on behalf of the president, at one point there was several justices who seemed to think what the solicitor general was saying is that when they can't agree on things, the president can have a recess appointment class. justice alito stopped him and said i'm concerned you're making a very aggressive argument here for the extension of the executive branch's power because the two branches aren't getting along. another justice brought up the fact nowhere in the history of this recess appointsments clause does it say you can use it because there's a political impass so there was skepticism across the spectrum on the court. although we never like to predict what they're going to do, it seems there was plenty of skepticism for the president's argument about being able to make the appoint manies. lower court ruled against him. we'll have to wait a few weeks to find out. the decision is due no later

than june. jon: thank you. jenna: fox news alert. reports that rockets were fired soon after the burial ceremony for former israeli prime minister sharon and the israeli air force is apparently retaliating at this time. this is world leaders, including vice president joe biden, were leaving after paying their respects to the long time israeli leader. >> security was tight here all day because of aerial sharon's funeral but hamas or some militant group fired rockets. all the foreign and israeli dignitaries that were on hand had easily left the area and they appeared to have not been in danger. israeli air force has responded and launched several attacks in gaza in retaliation. all of this is occurring as

israeli and foreign dignitaries were on hand to pay tribute to ariel sharon, the former prime minister who was in a coma for the last eight years suffering a major stroke back in 2006. now, leading the u.s. delegation was vice president joe biden who called sharon a friend, a former prime minister who died at age 85, was honored today, described as a great leader, a fighter for israel but he leaves a very complex history here in israel. there's no getting around that. leading the unilateral disengagement in 2005. for many that was an act of greatness. others saw it as an irresponsible move that threatens the security of israel even today. like i said, that was a controversial move then. it is a controversial move today. now, he is both loved and hates here and even his critics and

supporters have very different reasons for liking the man but they all agree on one thing. he was a leader. he was somebody willing to make very tough decisions when tough decisions were needed. they pay tribute today to him. many criticized him and say they didn't agree with a lot of his policies but they still honored the man because of his service and sacrifice to israel throughout his many years of service here. jenna: conner, thank you. jon: now cleanup efforts underway after severe storms ripped through parts of georgia over the weekend. downing trees, flooding streets and damaging homes. fire crews freed two children after a tree crashed into a back bedroom of their home in woodstock, georgia. a 14-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. 15 miles away a small tornado touched down causing damage stretching for about three miles. jenna: fast moving grass fire in kansas burns about 600 acres. apparently caused by a downed

power line. and fuelled by a high wind. the fire damaged at least two structures but caused no serious injuries and didn't hit any homes. firefighters from seven area towns responded to help battle the flames. national weather service is saying fire danger in the region will remain above normal the rest of the week. jon: seems like we've been hearing a lot about the bridge traffic scandal rocking chris christie and his administration. so how does media coverage of this particular incident stack up against coverage of other scandals? our media panel weighs in. also the iran nuke deal goes into effect one week from today with ta rab agreeing to limit uranium enrichment and open the nuclear program to daily inspections. can iran be trusted to do all of that? we'll go in depth.

jon: controversy over chris christie and the george washington bridge scandal and it centers on the media with word that broadcast networks covered it 17 times more than the i.r.s. scandal even though the closures on the bridge amid political playback elicits as much frustration and outrage and is as easy to understand that the i.r.s. unfairly targeted tea parties and other groups. joining us is alan colmes. rich is also with us today and he's editor of the national review. both are fox news contributors. you've heard that statistic thrown around, alan, 17 times as much coverage given to the new

jersey george washington bridge scandal as the i.r.s. scandal. is that appropriate? >> is that from the media research center? jon: it is. >> that's a conservative group that has an agenda and always goes after the media. jon: do you doubt their numbers? >> that's not a fair and balanced neutral organization and the fact is this is a real scandal. i.r.s. scandal turned out not to be a scandal when the ranking member of the house oversight competent reveals that isa didn't release all the information and progressive groups are also targeted. benghazi, they tried to use that to unseat obama to elect mitt romney. no scandal there. so we're talking about how do you define a scandal. i don't see the others a scandal. jon: well, they did target conservative groups more often than they did any progressive ar -- >> the pea party groups at that time were in formation. that's why they were the

targets. it was not based on politics. >> conservative groups were deliberately targeted and delays in the way the progressive groups weren't and some tea party groups still haven't gotten their status approved. no doubt that bridge gate is a national story. chris christie is a national figure who is thinking about running for president but the media has gone so overboard. there are a couple of sunday shows yesterday, jon, that went more than half an hour or more than 20 minutes before mentioning anything else and if you look at the initial coverage of theism r.s. scandal, the "new york times," a national one, didn't even have it on the front page when it broke. so obviously there's a political agenda here. jon: what about it? there is perhaps some national implications but it's essentially a local traffic story. yes, it's a very busy bridge but it's a new jersey, new york city. why is it getting so much national attention? >> because chris christie is

looking at running for president in 2016. that's why he sent out yesterday the head of the r.n.c., rudy giuliani who started using the word benghazi like it was 9/11 and karl rove as his spokes people. he knows he has to defend himself in that way to have key republicans defend him because he's the -- in fact, in all the polls, he matches up against hillary clinton better than anybody. that's why. >> i don't have a problem with this being discussed or covered in any way and being an item on the sunday shows. it's just the lack of proportion. ends of the day, it's a four day traffic jam in an area that has a lot of traffic anyway. no one died. no ambassador was assassinated. most intrusive single federal agency in the u.s. government wasn't abusing its power so a little perspective here would be helpful but you'll not get it from the press because this is a republican and they just love the idea of pounding it into the ground. jon: so you think they're being deliberately unfair to chris christie.

>> we'll see. benghazi and the i.r.s., initially there was a fair amount of coverage and then it trailed off. the media doesn't care if there's an investigation of the i.r.s. going on. when it comes to the media, rules for the republicans are always different. >> initially there was a lot of cover in the benghazi and i.r.s. scandal. we're just in the beginning of the story about chris christie. it happened in september but he gave an almost two hour news conference. if eight months from now we're still talking about and conservatives talking about the benghazi in the i.r.s. -- >> why would the "new york times" have the i.r.s. scandal the day it broke? it wasn't on the day it broke. it's on page 10. why? >> i don't edit them. >> that's one publication. it's arguably the most important newspaper in the country outside the "wall street journal" and they buried theism r.s. scandal.

they didn't have an editorial on it. >> if i could just respond, chris christie gave an almost two hour news conference which was covered because he spoke for almost two hours. it's a breaking story. we can have a better way to judge it against benghazi and the i.r.s. eight to 10 months dourg the road. jon: he answered every question over the two hours. he didn't shrink from it. either you want him to answer the questions or you want him to run away. you can't have it both ways. >> that's one of the reasons it's getting this kiebdz -- kind of coverage. >> you also would never hear president obama say i have to search my own soul about what kind of environment i created where the i.r.s. thought it was okay. >> they want to bring up obama and alleged scandals in the obama administration. jon: some things are legitimate. we have to leave it there. thank you both. >> thanks. jenna: what do you expect?

it took a lot of juggling to keep it all together. for some low-income families, having broadband internet is a faraway dream. so we created internet essentials, america's largest low-cost internet adoption program. having the internet at home means she has to go no further than the kitchen table to do her homework. now, more than one million americans have been connected at home. it makes it so much better to do homework, when you're at home.

welcome to what's next. comcastnbcuniversal. jenna: happening now on the economy, a new survey with insight into what americans expect in terms of inflation and prices for our food and gas and housing in the year ahead as well as how we feel about job prospects. peter barnes is live in the d.c. bureau with more on this. >> the new york fed has launched a nie monthly survey on consumer

expectations covering their expectations for inflation, job prospects and other things as you mentioned. and the first survey released today shows, drum roll, please, more people appear confident about their job prospects. more of them say they're willing to quit their current job to look for a new one. in december about 22% of those surveyed expected to leave a job voluntarily, up from about 19% in june but other people are more worried about losing their job. nearly 17% in december versus about 15% in june. still, the survey found about half of all the job changers said they felt they could find a new job within three months. on borrowing money, the survey reports more consumers were more optimistic at the end of the year about their ability to borrow and of those who have, the survey found that fewer people were worried about being able to make their minimum debt payments. about 15% in december compared to 17% in september but both of

those numbers were still up compared to june. on average, consumers expect inflation to increase about 3% this year with home prices rising nearly 4%. new york fed says the new survey has more detail in it than other consumer surveys and can help fed officials set interest rate policy and other policies. jenna: hopefully people feel better in the economy, they're better participants, better for everybody. >> that's right. consumer confidence. jenna: thank you. >> thank you. jon: you know i'm a life long fan of the denver broncos undoubtedly, one of just millions out there but not all broncos fans are people. some of them are horses, too. special way these animals are showing their team spirit, great little story up next. anyone have occasional constipation,
