"fox & friends" starts right now. bye. >> bye. >> good morning. it is monday, february 17. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. a plane packed with passengers hijacked and the hijacker is the copilot. we have those breaking details ahead. >> meanwhile, new details in the case of the craigslist killer. the suspect says she didn't just murder one guy. she killed at least 2 # -- 22 others. >> what's more dangerous? climate change or weapons of mass destruction? >> climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the world's most fearsome weapon of

>> thank you. let's get to a fox news alert. while you were sleeping a plane was hijacked and the hijacker apparently the copilot. >> heather joins us with breaking details. what is the latest? >> that copilot was just arrested. police say he hijacked an ethiopian airline flight and flew the plane to geneva because he wants asylum. that copilot is in his 30's. he's from ethiopia. he was supposed to land the plane in rome. authorities say he waited until the pilot went to the bathroom and he locked the cockpit door. he took control of the plane and landed it in geneva. he used a rope to escape through the cockpit window and ran towards security officers, identifying himself as the hijacker. here's some brand-new audio revealing the moment he asked for asylum. >> awaiting asylum or [inaudible]

>> we are waiting on this information. >> police safely escorted all 202 passengers one by one off of that flight with their hands on their heads. we will of course keep you updated on this breaking story as we get some more information on it. back to you. >> thank you very much. how crazy is that story? apparently they circled geneva a couple of times and then he waited until the guy went to the bathroom. when they did eventually land, he crowd out through a cockpit window with a rope. so obviously he had been thinking about that for a little while. >> could be carrying a 20-year sentence. so scary. >> lots of legal questions. people understand the notion of asylum but don't take all these passengers on your asylum trip and then go out the window. it's a very strange story. >> are you suggesting perhaps his punishment may

trump him getting to stay in geneva? >> he was a free man before. he may not wind up a free man. i don't know if there is an extradition treaty in ethiopia. that will be interesting if that occurs and it is not an act of political asylum. >> always handy to have a lawyer on the couch. >> it is. good morning. heather. i see your bright smile. >> hope everybody had a great weekend. steve, nice to have you back. we have some news to bring you. is she telling the truth or is she looking for attention? the f.b.i. investigating shocking claims from the so-called craigslist killer who says she was involved with at least 22 murders. in an interview with a local newspaper, 19-year-old miranda barbour claims she was part of a satanic cult and stopped counting her victims after the 22nd. >> i saeed as you sit -- i said as you sit here, do

you have remorse whatsoever and she said none. >> she also went on to say i wanted to talk about this because i know i had a 20 year window where i could possibly get out of jail where i didn't want that to happen. if i were to be released, i would do that again. >> two skiers missing in a colorado avalanche have been found dead. they were part of a group of seven skiers swept up in the rest of the group rescued. three are hospitalized at this hour. this is the third deadly avalanche in colorado in less than a week and experts predict this is not the last avalanche of the season. >> he's been on the job for five months but the head of the u.s. immigration and customs enforcement is already cutting it quits. in a letter to co-workers he says he's returning to the private sector but gives no information. cate blanchett named

talking about john kerry who also wanted to be president of the united states. he's over in geneva talking to students where he equated what used to be known as global warming, now they refer to it as climate change, that is so bad, it's about the baddest thing you can think of. listen to this. >> when i think about the array of global climate as a global threat, think about this. terrorism, epidemics, poverty, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; all challenges that know no borders. the reality is that climate change ranks right up there with every single one of them. the bottom line is this, it is the same thing with climate change and in a sense climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the world's

most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. >> getting hot in here just hearing that, i think. talking to students too who are there for education, certainly getting some sort of schooling here on the dangers. you decide. let us know. do you think that global warming is as dangerous as terrorism? send us an e-mail or tweet. we might guess what you're thinking. >> in 2008 al gore said the entire north pole ice cap would be done within three years. now we see a column in the post today saying seeing it receding growing by 39% and within 5% of what it was 30 years ago. >> yeah. and something else that is a fact is that the president of the united

states at the state of the union address said it's settled science. climate change is settled science. it's not really. there are people on both sides who disagree. there is no doubt that the climate changes but it has always changed through time. the big question is, is it because of man or is it because simply of the planet? we've had a number of climatologists on the program talk about how the weather now is reminiscent of 50 or 60 years ago. the big question is, is it caused by man or is it caused simply by the way the world works? >> certainly not something that is coming up at the dinner table or when you're at the bus stop waiting for the kids or pumping your gas. it is probably not going through your mind that deep debate which does happen. but day to day over the kitchen table, i think everyone is probably thinking about the economy, how health care is affecting them. but that's not what they were hearing across the news on the sunday programs

here. if you look at what is being covered versus what is not -- >> the important stuff. >> nbc "meet the press" spent 17 minutes on climate change. >> just yesterday? >> just yesterday. zero on obamacare and the economy. 9 minutes on climate change, just 2 minutes -- that was generous -- on obamacare and the economy. "abc this week" 11 minutes on climate change, 4 minutes on the economy. you're not having that deep debate about climate change every single day as you're waiting and trying to figure out how to get a job, knowing food stamps increased wondering how you're going to pay your bill when your premiums are so high. >> if you can distract people with things that are of moment in your own mind and then the white house interest at that point and not talk about obamacare and not talk about a tough

economy, then it will get you through the week politically. >> the president politically is trying to link the drought in california to climate change. but if you actually examine the facts, it -- the problem with the drought in california's central valley is their water got taken away from them by a federal judge. they built reservoirs to last five years and then the environmentalists came in, they sued and had to drain the reservoirs to save a bait fish. it was about the delta smelt. that is why they're out of water in california. >> in fact, it was a male judge. >> list breath brings up a great -- elisabeth brings up a great point. is this something you are worried about? climate change or global warming? e-mail us at "fox & friends".com. you can twitter us or e-mail us. >> coming up, do you think

>> it's been awhile since we've seen that animation but it was five years ago since the president promised the earth, moon and stars with $800 billion worth of stimulus. despite that money hiring remained sluggish forcing

him to admit this. >> shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we expected. >> really? how exactly did the recovery act affect all of us? and where has all this taxpayer cash gone? joining us from the "wall street journal" editorial board is james freeman. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> in the beginning when they were talking about we're going to pump all this money into these shovel-ready programs, that sounded good. >> did sound good. there were a lot of promises. right after it was enacted vice president joe biden told local politicians, he said to local politicians, remember, don't spend this on stupid things. i think that was a warning that maybe the hype had gotten a little out of hand before they enacted it. >> we're going to get to one of the stupid things in a minute. one of the key components of the president's pitch was if you pass this, unemployment will drop below 8%. >> it will stay below 8%. >> take a look at this. it took over four years for it to drop below 8%. so that was a misnomer.

>> it failed on its own terms. i think that's really the story of the stimulus, is this government idea that will provide a jolt to the economy by forcing all this money into the system. what really grows an economy is when business people have incentives to invest and grow. >> when you look at the unemployment number now, you think compared to back then it's pretty good. but when you look at the number of people who have dropped out of the workforce, the labor participation rate, it's terrible. >> we're back to 1970's level. really the performance is even worse than it looks for the stimulus, as you said, because so many people have left the workforce. those rates would be a lot worse even though every year they fail to meet the administration's promise. >> if you got close a little south of $1 trillion, you would think it would spur the gross domestic product. when you look at the g.d.p. growth, it averages 2.4% over the last 18 quarters whereas during the reagan recovery which was much

shorter and more effective, it was north of 4%, right at 4%. >> over 4%. even the clinton years in the 1990's, that recovery almost 4%. this is a historically sluggish, slow economy. i think the stimulus has a lot to do with it. you look at last year when finally government spending was receding, second half of last year was when we finally got the kind of growth we've been looking for. i think that is a good signal to private markets, entrepreneurs. they get more encouraged when they see government stepping back. it is the opposite of what the stimulus backers suggested. >> what the stimulus backers were suggesting was we're going to put this money into shovel-ready programs. bridges are falling apart, we need roads. with the hindsight of five years, 10% of the stimulus went to infrastructure and of that, 12% of that went to bridges. that is not what we were told. >> i think they wanted to tell but shovel-ready

projects. but the truth is people who do these big infrastructure projects know it takes years tpo get these things done. you have all kinds of permitting requirements, lawsuits about environmental impacts, environmental impact studies. the only thing they could shovel the money into, and this went back to the vice president saying no stupid things, you can only spend it immediately on stuff already approved. they were repaving roads, doing stuff that didn't need to be done but that was permitted. >> plus they were doing stupid stuff or maybe frivolous. take a look at this. of the stimulus money $783,000 went to malt liquor and marijuana study. i think a lot of college kids would have done that for free. $92,000 for costumes for mascots of the army corps of engineers including, ladies and gentlemen, may i introduce to you barbour, the water safety dog. that is money well spent, isn't it? >> can you put a price tag

on the impact barbour had on the army corps. >> all right. james freeman from the "wall street journal" editorial board, thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. >> 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, a reality show pastor known for handling snakes died from one of those snakes. should the producers share any blame? those details straight ahead. >> a family battling to protect the home they grew up in. the government wants to take it and turn their house into walking trails. a land grab. can the feds do that? we're going to talk about it next. ♪ ♪

needed. and a conservation easement and leave us the house. they bill clinton kerd about it -- they bickered about it for an hours and they want the whole thing. they want the whole 10, almost 11 acres. >> it seems they had this in mind for awhile. a week after your dad dies they contact you and you give sort of an observing there. then you became aware of a rendering that showed what exactly? >> it was they talked for years, i guess, about interested in willing sellers. there is three of us left that are not willing sellers. we were willing to sell two acres for the trail to come through the backside of our property. we never had a problem with that. it's always been a good-faith thing from two and a half years ago.

lincoln. during the gettysburg address, he said that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from this earth. beautiful. >> beautiful words. i think it was a seminole moment in lincoln's development and the nation because he made the war something more than just union. up to that point the war was just about keeping the union together. he said it is a new birth of freedom, freeing the slaves, correcting the declaration of independence which said all men are created equal but really didn't mean that. i think it was a pivotal turning point for lincoln and the country. >> we want to look at one of the most pivotal moments and powerful speeches, ronald reagan's evil empire speech. take a listen here. >> in your discussions of the nuclear freeze

proposals, i urge you to beware of the temptation of pride, the temptation of blithely declaring yourself above it all and label both sides equally at fault. to ignore the facts of history and aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil. >> your sentiments? >> powerful words. in 1983 when he gave that speech there was a movement in the country, the nuclear freeze moment that was trying to say there was a moral equivalency between the united states and soviet union and reagan wanted nothing to do with that. he said no, hold on a second. we're a good system and he called them evil. many of his advisors said don't do that but he did it because he felt strongly he needed to brand the soviets as aoefplt it -- evil. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war. >> let's focus on the

president, teddy roosevelt and the panama canal. he said i might have taken the matter under advisement and put it before the senate in which case it would have been a half century of discussion and perhaps the panama canal. i prefer we should have the panama canal first and the half century of discussion afterwards. an action president. >> yeah. if any quote ever illustrated teddy roosevelt, essentially he said i'm going to build the canal first and then we can debate it instead of the other way around. he wanted to create a two-ocean navy and create the united states as a super power and that was the first step. he said i'm going to go ahead and do this. >> in 1964 the united states government passed the civil rights act. here is a passage from lyndon baines johnson, l.b.j. >> let this session of congress be known as the session which did more for our civil rights than the last hundred sessions combined. >> why did you pick that

passage? >> i think it was an important moment. kennedy had just been assassinated. civil rights was on the agenda but it took somebody like london johnson, a southern democrat, to pass that. he knew when he passed that legislation the democrats would probably lose the south for a generation and he was right. it was a trajectory for this country. >> in terms of moving the country through watergate and beyond, it was president nixon. >> i gerald r. ford, president of the united states, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by article 2, section 2, of the constitution, have granted and by these presence do grant a full free and absolute pardon unto richard nixon. >> with jerry ford saying

that, what happened? >> easily we could have mired in watergate for years and years. ford knew it would be unpopular, knew it would probably end his presidency, which it did, but he thought it was the right thing to do. history looks back on it and it was the right thing. >> when we have a big day in history, we love to have nick join us live and he joins us from washington, d.c. on this presidents' day. thank you very much. >> heather nauert is here with recent updates. >> teddy roosevelt is in part from oyster bay, long island which is close to where brian kilmeade and i live. there is a fantastic museum in that area. he had a home there. it talks about out of his exploits and starting our federal park system. >> there is also one in manhattan. >> good to know. now i'll get you to the news. listen to this coming out of california. a house blown to bits on purpose. the reason? it was filled with explosives and it made it

far too dangerous for crews to go inside to remove those explosives. 64-year-old ray east is a model rocket enthusiast. police say he was trying to make one of those rockets when he set off a massive explosion. when police arrived at his house in northern california, they found 60 pounds of chemicals and gun powder. they evacuated that area and then were forced to blow up that house. a new report shows convicted pedophiles are living in homeless shelters right near elementary schools in new york city. this was a clear violation of state law that requires pedophiles to keep a certain distance from minors. now officials are fighting over who is to blame. there is a loophole in the law that doesn't force homeless to disclose their exact location so now the state decided to freeze the release of all pedophiles eligible for parole until they can fix that system. we'll keep you posted. school uniforms a violation of free speech? that is the ruling for an

elementary school in reno, nevada. the reason? the uniform has the school's motto tomorrow's leaders on the shirt. one parent complained and started this lawsuit. the school also allowed students to wear boy scout and girl scout uniforms but the school said it favors those uniforms over uniforms of other organizations. the suit cost the school district more than $100,000 in legal fees. peter, what do you think about that? all you moms out there, a pregnant mother expecting triplets gets a huge surprise in the delivery room. a fourth baby comes out. 42-year-old kimberly fugate gives birth to three healthy girls. moments later the doctor yells there's more feet and out comes another baby girl. she somehow managed to hide during those ultra sounds the mother had. the doctors said chances of giving birth to identical quadruplets is 13 million

enforce the law in these states which is already a dereliction of their duty. now we're going to facilitate the business of drug dealing in states like colorado and washington by telling the banks doesn't follow the federal law. facilitate this by these transactions. it goes way beyond what happened before by saying power of enforcement on the these storefronts. >> we've got to hammer this point home and that is, john, in every one of the 50 states marijuana is illegal. for the federal government to be encouraging this, why doesn't the president just try to get the government to change the law? that would make sense. >> he just had the state of the union. he could have said i don't agree with the law. let's reform it and had a debate. that's not going to pass and he knows it. the fact of the matter is the will of the people as expressed to the representatives doesn't want to do this.

was the plane's own copilot. heather childress has been following the story and has the latest. >> that copilot that you mentioned just arrested. police say that he hijacked an ethiopian airline flight and flew the plane to switzerland because he wants asylum. that copilot is in his 30s. he's also from ethiopia. he was supposed to land the plane in rome. authorities say that he waited until the pilot went to the bathroom and then he locked the cockpit door. he took control of the plane and then he landed it in geneva. he used a rope to escape through the cockpit window and ran toward security officers, identifying himself as the hijacker. here is some brand-new audio revealing the moment that he asked for asylum. >> asylum --

>> we are waiting on the information. >> police safely escorted all 202 passengers, one by one, off of that flight with their hands on their heads. no one was injured. swiss authorities plan to press charges that could carry up to 20 years in prison. can you imagine being one of those passengers? scary moments for all of them. >> we will continue to update this story for you as we get breaking information. >> we thank you very much. so he wanted -- because he was worried about his own country, he wanted to live in switzerland and now he might live in a prison. >> yes. swiss stripes. kidnapping is kidnapping. >> my goodness. 202 people on that plane. >> terrible. >> usually it's the passengers who hijack the plane. having the copilot do it, new wrinkle. >> now for other breaking news, we have heather nauert here. >> good morning to you. lots of mother stuff going on this morning. is she telling the truth or just

looking for attention? the f.b.i. is now investigating the shocking and bizarre claims from the so-called craigslist killer. she says she was now involved with at least 22 murders. in an interview with a local pennsylvania newspaper, 19-year-old miranda barber claims she was part of a satanic cult and stopped counting after 22. >> i said, do you have any remorse whatsoever? she said none. >> she says if she were to be released from prison, she would kill again. authorities investigate her claims, we will keep you posted. two skiers missing in a colorado avalanche have been found dead. they were part of a group of seven skiers swept up in lake county, just west of aspen, colorado. rest of the group was rescued. this is the third deadly avalanche in colorado in less than a week. experts predicting it will not be the last because the amount of snowfall that that entire

tapes. but no, she taught herself spanish on the ipad. >> i need a method. >> see you later. >> thanks. happy anniversary. five years ago today that the president signed the $840 billion stimulus program into law. the republicans said it's not really going to do much and as we take a look at the numbers, they're not very good. >> sure. if you look in the first four years of the stimulus, unemployment never got out of 8%. check this out. 2009, 9.3 was the unemployment rate. >> the reason that is key is because the president said if you pass this -- this was back five years ago -- he said if you pass this, our unemployment will never go above 8%. it took four years to get below 8%. >> as we mark that wonderful, happy five years, the gdp

growth, 2.4% average gdp growth over the last 18 quarters. now during the reagan recovery in the '80s, it was 4% growth during each of those quarters. >> yeah. >> big difference. >> if you look at the infrastructure spending, 10% went to infrastructure spending. 12% of that went into bridges. >> so 12% of 10%, like 1% went into bridge, that's the way they sold it, was all this stuff was going to happen. meanwhile, we had james freeman from the "wall street journal" editorial board on with us earlier. he made it clear that people knew this was not going to work from the get-go. >> it failed on its own terms. i think that's really the story of the stimulus is this government idea that we'll provide a jolt to the economy by forcing all this money into the system. of course, what really grows an economy is when business people have incentive to invest and grow. this is an historically

sluggish, slow recovery. i think the stimulus has a lot to do with it because you look at last year when finally government spending was receding, second half of last year is when we finally got the kind of growth we've been looking for. i think that's a good signal the private markets, to entrepreneurs, they get more encouraged when they see government stepping back. >> he also said one of the unfortunate things is the unemployment rates has gone down is the number of people who dropped out of the work force is at historically low levels, because there are not enough jobs and they were supposed to create jobs. so five years later, not exactly what we were sold. >> chronically unemployed is an issue. we want to celebrate today. it is presidents day. we thought we're going to do some trivia. and maria molina loves to quiz us. >> typically we do science trivia. but today we're pitching it up and due to presidents' day,

we're going to ask presidents' day trivia questions. five questions now. five keys later in the show. >> we'll write our answers on the paddle. >> there will be four choices. ready for the first question? >> yes. >> okay. who was the bachelor president? was it a, chester arthur. b, buchananen, c, mckinley, or d, james carter? who was the bachelor president? >> i'm going with b, buchanan, because i used to live on buchanan. >> what he said. >> on both sides. >> both of you chose b. james buy can which is the -- buy can -- buchanan, which is the correct answer. >> question number two, who was the only president with a ph.d.? a, herbert hoover, eisenhower,

george h.w. bush? or wilson? you got that correct. wilson had a ph.d. in history and political science. >> absolutely. >> couple were at universities, too. >> here we go. question three, who was the oldest elected president? was it a, nixon, b, harding, c, polk, or ronald reagan? who was the oldest? >> who knew when we hooked up -- >> ronald reagan. you got that. he was 69 years old. now we want to do who was the youngest president to become president. that's your following question.

roosevelt, barak obama, john f. kennedy or lincoln? who was the youngest? this could be tricky. you have to listen to the wording. it's the youngest person to become president. >> people naturally think it's john f. kennedy. >> i didn't ask who was the youngest elected. we asked who was the youngest person to become president. >> teddy roosevelt. >> you were right if we asked who was the youngest elected president. that was john f. kennedy. >> what do we win? >> we have to see. to be continued. we have five more questions coming up later. we only had time for four, if you're counting at home. >> that was fun. >> i like that. >> i'll get those right next time, kids. >> i was lucky on buchanan. that was the only president

new policy. how did that happen? you have a preexisting condition and it's a serious condition. did anyone explain to you how you lost your coverage and now you're paying a lot more? >> well, they said that they applied for waivers, that my policy was a limited benefit plan and the federal government insurance policy was denied and i had two weeks to figure out

where this extra money was coming from. >> you were happy with the plan. the bill was $100 a month. your employer was paying $50 of that. then you were working five days a week. is it a fact that you're now working seven days a week with lupus? i have no choice. >> what do you do for work? >> i'm an accountant. >> and so are you making ends meet now based on this particular incredible increase on the health care? >> barely. the second job is making up the difference between my old premium and new premium, but that doesn't include my deductibles that i now have, that i have to come up with at the beginning of the year. >> do you feel like you were lied to, emily? you voted for president obama and you supported obamacare. do you feel like the president lied to you about what you would be getting now in 2014?

>> absolutely. absolutely he lied. i was promised over and over and over again that i was going to be able to keep the policy i had if i liked it. and they knew several years ago that that wasn't going to be the case. but yet they continued to tell us that we would be able to keep it. >> do you see any way out of this, working seven days a week? lupus can be a very debilitating disease. you really need a lot of rest when you have lupus. do you see any way out of this mess at all in terms of what you're paying and the type of health care that you need going forward? >> i don't. i have no choice but to do what i'm doing and we'll see how long i can sustain it. >> well, we wish that you sustain yourself well and that you feel good and wish you better things ahead in 2014. thanks for being with us today.

some of these murders up as she claims, or was she actually involved with some of these murders? i think that's exactly what the investigators are trying to do. here is the question: is it conceivable that she could have been or have taken part in some of these murders? i think the answer to that would be yes. now the question is, what murders is she specifically referencing now? as you know, because of published reports, she has already said that she is going to show the investigators where the bodies are on a map. so i think that's going to be the first step for the investigators is to try to corroborate some of her stories and see if any of it is true. >> she said she killed from alaska to north carolina. so i would imagine the f.b.i. is involved and the state police and local jurisdictions across this country. this must have set up alarm bells in our homicide communities in the united states. >> absolutely. here is the thing, and this is so important for the viewers to understand, any time there is a major crime that occurs in the

united states, including a homicide or sexual offense, all that information and data goes into a major database. so the system, the software will actually kick back information of similarities amongst homicides. so that's the other thing that makes this case a little bit more strange, peter, because if you killed 22 people, there would have definitely had to be some red flags along the way, especially if you're between the ages of 13 and 19 years old, which this woman is alleging. so again, i think the police have to do their due diligence and checking out her story. but whether or not her story absolutely true, i think that is yet to be seen. >> she's given this interview to a reporter. we don't know at this point whether or not she's cooperating with authorities in terms of going forward with this information. correct? >> you're exactly right. the other thing, her attorney actually made a statement over the weekend that he wasn't even

aware that she was going to be giving an interview to the local news station in the philadelphia area. all of those things are subjective in terms of the reliability and the credibility of her story. but at the same time, we still have to investigate to find out whether or not what she's saying is true. >> rod wheeler, always so smart and always with us. this is frightening stuff. thanks for being with us on this presidents' day. >> thank you. next up, did you mess up big-time this valentine's day? our love expert dipping into her mail bag to fix broken hearts next. but first on this date in 1801, thomas jefferson was elected third president of the united states. in 1972, the vw beatle becomes the most produced car in history. and in 1980, queen had the number one song with a song

alleging. >> barber saying that if she were to be released from prison, she would kill again. her attorneys are asking for a psychiatric evaluation. it's the only -- he's only been on the job five months, but the head of ice is already calling it quits. in a letter to his co-workers at the department, he said he's returning to the private sector, but gave no reason for his resignation. that appointment as you may recall, was met with a whole lot of resistance because he lacked law enforcement experience to head up that agency. a group of miners trapped young ground in south africa don't want to be rescued. how strange is that? 20 of them are refusing to come out because once they do, they'll be arrested for illegal gold mining. about a dozen members have already been rescued. groupon honors alexander hamilton for presidents' day. there is just one problem with that. he was never president of the united states. when asked about the mistake, groupon is not backing down and

well, take a look at this. climate change was the number one topic on the sunday shows yesterday and when the topic did come up, anyone who has ever doubted the scientific existence was questioned. >> governor, couple years ago, you made a remark that caught a lot of people's attention. you said that global warming is in god's hands. >> you said that argument in the past. you said this whole issue of climate change is in god's hands. >> in the scientific community this is not debatable. the consensus is that it is. >> okay. so how much sway does the white house have over the mainstream media? they're all on the white house's pay. let's talk to the managing editor of town hall magazine. she joins us from st. louis. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what's going on? why are all the guys on the sunday shows carrying water for the white house?

>> you expect a convergence of topics. what the white house says is news by virtue of the white house saying it and they wanted to talk about climate change. what bothersesome is when the narrative of the media and white house are the same. you saw john kerry come out and give this huge speech about basically if you don't agree with climate change, first of all, he said there is no debate. then he says if you don't agree with it, it's faulty science and you're backwards of progress. that was the same narrative you saw on the sunday shows. the american people were basically asked to believe that a man who doesn't have answers to benghazi or fast and furious somehow figured out the weather. >> he's following in the footsteps of al gore, who was all about cap and trade back in the day and soon to make millions or billions of dollars from -- then we used to call it global warming. then it got really cold and now they had to change the wording and it's called climate change. the president said the science is settled. the science isn't settled. we know the climate changes because the climate is always

changing. the big question is, is it man made or is it simply cyclical? is it just the way the world works? >> there are plenty of scientists who are skeptical that it's manmade or skeptical we could really do much about it. but you see those scientists marginalized, the media tries to push a particular narrative, which means that they don't really talk about those 700 scientists who several years ago came out with a report that said, we're not so sure. you might want to take a second look that this is a settled debate or even as recently as last year you had a scientific survey of several geoscientists and engineers coming out and saying they were skeptical of this as well, or skeptical that it was really going to be a big deal in the future. >> what's really happening, and we were chatting in the commercial break -- is because everybody is now looking toward november and the democrats, it looks like it may not be good for them, what the white house and what the main stream media are doing is they're trying to switch the subject. let's talk about anything other than obamacare and the economy,

which are both just limping along right now. let's talk about climate change. >> it's the shiny object syndrome. we saw them do it during the last election cycle with this quote, unquote, war on women. whatever topic that they think they can distract on, they'll try to take advantage of that. really, when you're stewards of the american people's money, you should be a little more careful where you decide to spend money when it comes to science that a couple years ago was simply called global warming and then by a slight of hand, now it's become all incom passing climate change. >> i saw on one of the web sites, 4,406 record cold temperatures in january. so global warming, you be the judge. elizabeth joining us from st. louis, thank you very much. >> thank you. i skated to the studio this morning on ice. i'm not so sure about this global warming. >> right. good enough. thank you very much. all the rest of you watching, what do you think about what the white house is pushing with this global

smile through that whole week. >> i think so many kids can relate. i red your blog. -- read your blog. i thought it was incredible. you said you want to be strong enough and healthy enough to help all kids with cancer. i want you to know today you are doing that. melody, your little will, i know he lost his battle there. you are keeping his spirit alive and with will's wag wishes, you're making kids and young women like destiny get through this treatment. you know it well. the connection between the three of you is incredible. why did you want to start this foundation? >> the children that go through this cancer treatment, they are forced to be so brave and they miss out on so many things in their everyday life because of hospital admissions and all day clinic visits and low counts.

so i just want to give them a reason to keep going and -- because there is something good waiting for them on the other side and what makes this even more special is that i'm able to keep will's name alive through this organization and even though he's not here with us, he's still bringing so much joy and happiness to kids that are fighting this same battle that he fought for 33 months. >> without a doubt his spirit is alive and well. debbie, destiny's mom, you have a really unique connection. you were an at-home care nurse for will and i can't get over the connection here, but you know too well on both ends how it is to be a mom -- help a mom going through this and also be a mom of a child that's battling cancer. what does it mean to you that debbie started this foundation and that now as a miracle this weekend, destiny was able to get

sweet bella on her lap? >> it means a lot to us. it means more than anybody will ever understand because as you mentioned, i've been on both sides. i remember when little will was first diagnosed and going to his room in the hospital to meet miss abernathy and family and i could not go into their room because it was so sad and horrific at that time. but we were able to get back with each other in december when i was looking for the only wish that destiny wanted at that time, was to be able to have a golden retrieve like the one that she met at scottish rite who would come in and make her smile because no one else could get her to talk or speak and that's how it is with most of the kids. that golden casper would light up and destiny would, too. i never would have dreamed of being on this site. i never would have dreamed being with melanie and always being able now to keep will's name

alive and keep him alive through bella and through other dogs that we will be able to -- that melanie will be able to help other kids and donate dogs to the kids with cancer. >> we're going to put all that information on our "fox & friends" web site. destiny, you keep strong there. you look awesome. i'm so glad bella made it to you this weekend. i know the storm was a challenge and melody and debbie, we want to thank you for sharing your story. it's inspiring and it will help so many. thank you. >> thank you. coming up, a big loss for big labor. auto workers saying no to unions. how did it all go down? one of those workers taking us behind the scenes. and she thought she was having triplets, so imagine this surprise when she gave birth to a fourth baby. how did the doctors not see this one coming? ♪

chrysler would make and that is less than what we're making now. volkswagen has been good to us in chattanooga, tennessee. they give us a fair wage, a great wage and great benefit package. >> they sure do. from what i've been reading. and had the united auto workers come in and unionized your shop, what kind of a pay cut would you have taken? >> i would have took about a $3 an hour pay cut where i'm at in the game right now. >> so you're probably doing the calculation. all right, is what the union is offering a worth $3 a an hour for me and you said no. why? >> absolutely. well, i mean, why do we work? we work to make a living, to provide for our families. and i want to go to work and progress and make more and help my company be profitable. i don't want to go to work and make less and cost my company more money to produce a product. by the way, the product that we produce is an award-winning

product. ten awards. this is a bunch of people that have never worked on an automobile before or an assembly line. i am so proud of it and so thankful to be working with these individuals. >> actually one of my kids drives a car that was made there in chattanooga. before you go, you've been in three different unions. you don't like them. why? >> well, listen, chattanooga is full of unions. they've been around all my working career. but unfortunately, unions have buddy buddy plans. they have back room deals. you've got to be in the know to progress with them. i actually got a phone call last night from an unknown union member that i didn't like his tone. he wouldn't give me his name or number. and i didn't like what he said to me. i'll keep that private right now. >> did it have to do with you

appearing here on the show today? >> it was about my stance against the union. >> and it sounds like it was a little threatening, but your vote was clear. the uaw not coming to chattanooga volkswagen. that's final for now unless they appeal it. mike jarvis, we thank you very much for sharing the behind the scenes voting there in tennessee. thank you. >> yes, sir. nicely done. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up next, bobby dean is here today and that's not his mama's meal. the healthy recipes you're going to love to eat. first, let's check in with bill hemmer for a preview of what's coming up. >> my best to you and we've all been thinking about you on fox. my best to your family. >> thanks. >> so breaking news on this monday. a suicide bomber targeting christian tourists in the middle east. breaking details on that. there is new information on that airliner hijacked by its copilot. the stimulus is five years old today. how did that work out, america?
