"fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it's wednesday, february 19. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the president set to sign another executive order today. seems like a lot has changed since his campaign. >> george bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through congress at all. and that's what i intend to reverse when i'm president of the united states of america. >> is that a double standard? we report. you decide. >> meanwhile, another scare in the sky as severe turbulence throws passengers right out of their seats. this morning the simple way you can save your child's lives. we've got actual airline

seats here in the studio to show you how to do it. >> it's been awhile since i've been in them. a new proposal sure to leave a mark. parents and even teachers could be allowed to spank their children hard enough to cause bruising, to leave a mark. is this over the line? and what was that voice? mornings are better with friends, i believe. >> it's time for "fox & friends." >> it must be wednesday. live from studio e, brian kilmeade back from arizona where it was 100 degrees. >> it was bizarre. special thanks to jeff liu to get us out. our team went out, played, did very well in arizona. these kid were in 18-degree weather here, had a six-hour flight and two hours later they were on the field playing in 92 degrees. >> they had a determined coach in you to get

everybody together. a great opportunity. >> this was the local newscast. they open up -- >> in arizona. >> by mocking the northeast for having so much snow and talking about how it is so unseasonably hot in arizona. why doesn't everyone move there? >> i went for a little while. had a baby there. >> a nice dry heat. >> glad you got out. >> looks like it's going to rain a little more here today in the northeast. we're not complaining. it is winter. here's what we're complaining about. remember the president refuses to work with the u.s. congress. and so what does he do? he says i've got a pen and i've got a phone and he's going to use executive action. yesterday he -- it's part of his do as i say, not do as i do tour. what he did, he was talking about mileage standards and so he took a 17-vehicle

cara van an hour away up to a safe way distribution plant to talk about mileage standards. later today he's going to do something about streamlining transmission of data required for people to import or export things. he thinks business is going to like that. it's all part of his action where he takes a pen and he takes his phone, although he's not calling anybody, to get stuff done. >> recently we've seen executive order thrown out right now for employer mandates when it comes to obamacare. right now the minimum wage is on the table, raise it for employees of the federal government there, set to do that. and also put pressure on raising the minimum wage across the board in the nation. but remember when he said he was against this executive order power, especially when president bush was the one using the executive orders. take a listen. 2008. >> the biggest problem that we're facing right now has

to do with george bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through congress at all. and that's what i intend to reverse when i'm president of the united states of america. >> okay. he's president of the united states of america but he didn't reverse that. he actually did it and has done a lot more of it. >> president bush and president clinton are slightly ahead of his pace but they weren't doing major policy decisions. but the president is looking to sway policy within the country. for somebody who was thinking about being president and was an outstanding governor and used to run the r.n.c., haely bar pwor says he doesn't -- haley barbour. >> i think people will say does he mean that? the truth is --

>> he was talking about the affordable care act which is not very affordable to some people. obamacare is the reason the president is doing this. it seems like there are some people who are benefitting from it, and that's terrific. but there are a lot of people who real this simply was not the right course for the country to take, and they are mad about obamacare. and the democrats know that they're going to pay heavily in november. and so what the president is trying to do is say look, forget about that. i'm doing all this other stuff over here with my pen and my phone. >> and are saying we're not going to pretend that obamacare is working. we're going to say keep me in office because i'm going to fix it. >> fix it now then. >> that would be interesting to try to do that. the c.b.o. also came out with another report. they said i hear you, mr. president, when you talk about hiking the minimum wage. now you want the whole country, nationwide to hike the minimum wage like you did for federal workers. the c.b.o. did this study and they said if they go ahead and do it and put it

up to $10.10 an hour, they look at everybody else who gets the pwufrpb up and look -- bump up and look at what it's going to cost business and they estimate it is going to cost this economy jobs unless it will reduce overall employment by 500,000 jobs which is not good. however, if you're the administration you see that and you say i don't think they're right. i don't believe the c.b.o. is correct when it comes to this. >> they also suggested that number could reach one million depending on how employers feel, how secure they feel in terms of what's going to happen moving forward. you raise the minimum wage and i don't think anybody wants anybody to be living below the poverty line or anywhere close to that. the truth of the matter is if you ask small business and small business owners what happens when that minimum wage is raised, many more people do lose their jobs. you might get a raise when it comes to the minimum wage, but that's counting on the fact that you still have a job as a result of

this. >> you know, and this proves the republicans' point. they have been saying if you increase the amount of money an employer has to pay, he's going to invariably make cutbacks if the demand is like that. for the administration to say, okay, we could -- this could benefit up to 900,000 people, but up to a million might actually lose their job, that seems a little crazy. at the same time we've also been told by the same c.b.o., which is democrat-run budget shop, that apparently up to 2.5 million people will lose their jobs, the equivalent, with obamacare. you add the two together, the president is pushing the minimum wage and obamacare, right there you got 3.5 million people out of work. >> as you work, the subsidies go down. they're talking about -- >> incentive to work hard. >> yesterday i logged on to see what is happening in the tv world and i see

heather nauert crashed into a camera. are you okay? >> i took quite a wipeout. >> are you feeling okay today? >> a few pulled muscles that i didn't know i even had. >> for someone who falls a lot, i said heather you'll have a strange sore neck. >> you guys have been following what is going on in the ukraine. a lot of people are upset about the government's stronger ties with moscow. with that in mind we bring you this news, this disturbing scene out of kiev. a protester in flames during violent clashes with police. that is a person. holy cow. take a live look at the capitol there. at least 25 people are dead this morning and hundreds more have been injured and a fresh wave of bloody street battles. overnight the police moving into a protest camp with stun guns, grenades and water cannons. protesters lit fires to create a barricade from the police. the riots began in december after the president turned away from a long anticipated deal with the

there is absolutely no evidence, and every economist will tell you this, that there is any job loss related to the affordable care act. part-time positions are actually down since 2010, not up. the number of full-time workers continues to increase. so i know that that's a popular myth that continues to be repeated, but it just is not accurate. >> really? that was kathleen sebelius denying jobs will be lost as a result of obamacare, despite the report from the government's bean counters, the c.b.o., revealing that

up to 2.5 million jobs are on the line. what's she talking about? let's talk to an actual economist and former director of the congressional budget office, douglas holtz-eakin. good morning. what's your message to the secretary of health and human services there? she says every economist knows that's not true. >> she shouldn't go into economic consulting, into website consulting. look, this is pretty simple. if you step back and look at what the affordable care act does, it raises about $800 billion in taxes. it's imposed about $500 billion in regulatory costs. does that sound like a rescue for jobs. it hands out subsidies for people whether they work or not. c.b.o. is saying 2.5 million jobs gone. it's indisputable this is bad for economic growth, bad for jobs. >> the intention was good. >> right. >> there are people who have fallen through the safety net and they need help with health care. that's great. but it seems to have completely gone off the rails. it's a classic case of

unintended consequences. you put on the blinders and say let's do health policy but health policy affects tax regulations. it has to affect the economy. they didn't keep track of the consequences and so jobs are being lost. they are starting to realize this. >> is part of the responsibility the fact that the white house farmed everything out to nancy pelosi. you guys over in the house, you figure out this bill and i'll sign it. >> that's part of the problem. the way it was put together also, it's got tons of inconsistencies and problems and technical failures. it is a mess and everyone knows that. we're starting to see the consequences. we see the administration, about every six months something gets waived, delayed, pushed back. there is no message about part-time jobs because when it came to the employer mandate they said we don't want to do that and so there's no part-time jobs yet. >> yesterday the congressional budget office said if the president gets his wish and you jack up the minimum wage to $10.10,

up to one million jobs will be lost. then the white house said we don't believe that's really going to happen. >> the white house is at odds with the facts and common sense here. every time there's been a serious research study that looks at the kinds of people that get affected by minimum wage, low-skilled workers, teenagers, we find it affects employment. the striking part is this does nothing for poverty. it raises about $31 billion for low-wage workers. only 19% goes to people in poverty. this is a puny, puny effort and the white house is pumping it up as a big deal. >> there is a brand-new poll that came out, i believe it was from yesterday, it was from gallup, the number one thing people in this country are worried about is unemployment. you look at obamacare, that could cost up to 2.5 million jobs. you look at this particular thing jacking up the

minimum wage to $10.10. there's 3.5 million jobs down the dumper if both these things go through. >> if you care about poverty, the number one thing you should care about is jobs. the dividing line between being poor and not poor is having a job. hurting jobs hurts the economy. >> we know what's at play here. the president doesn't want to talk about the affordable care act and obamacare because as people get an eye on it, they realize this thing is not a good idea and it's hurting a lot of people. so what they're trying to do is distract people in advance of the elections in november so that they won't punish the democrats. >> get by the elections at all costs. that's their strategy. they'll change the rules if they have to, argue about the results of the c.b.o. study, which is pretty commonsense when you get down to it. that is election-year politics and we'll see more not less in the year to come. >> douglas holtz-eakin, thank you very much. what do you think about what he just said and the white house's response to serious economists like

new jersey congressman rush poll being and representative gloria netkpwret mcclloyd of california. they are among nine democrats who announced they are calling it quits or retiring at the end of their terms. later today dr. jill biden joining forces with former president george w. bush in dallas, texas, to help veterans. the two will speak at a summit in dallas focused on post-9/11 veterans. the goal is to get people to provide resources for veterans and their families as they transition back into civilian life. >> take a look at this picture. another scare in the sky as severe turbulence throwsssengerf their seats. >> this morning the simple way to save your own child's life and so much more with our safety and security expert bill stanton. bill, thanks for joining

us. you heard about this incident. let's start with the advice you give moms and parents with kids on the plane. >> with kids on the plane, you want to make sure they're really secure. dress them kph-frpbl -- comfortable and be able to move around. you wouldn't be dressed for travel with travel with your dress and high heels. comfy shoes, pants. >> in this situation we hear about the baby being thrown out of the person's arms and landing on another seat unharmed as far as we know. when the plane hits turbulence whether you're sitting or standing what should you do? with a baby this small, you're holding it. >> i'm going to ask you to do the toughest thing you could possibly do. as a mother, if it gets really bad you may have to ask someone else to hold your child. know your own capabilities. >> that would be a hard thing to do. >> you're hitting such forces, you may let go of that child. let's say you trust me and give me your child. give me that baby and i'm

going to show you. i'm going to take that baby and what i'm going to do is put her right in my coat like this and hold that baby. so i'm going to hold this child like this. that's how i would tell you to hold your child. you obviously work out. you hold that baby, secure it and lean forward. you lean forward because you don't know what's coming from behind you. if it's going a dive, things may be falling, you don't want to be hit in the back of the head. if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of your child. >> the turbulence hit, you see people get hurt, crew members get hurt. they're more exposed to begin with. first off you can only hold this bay for so long is -- hold this baby for so long because of laws of physics. what position should we all be in? >> first off, we need to put our seat belts on. we have our seat belts on. the only time you're going to take this seat belt off is go to the bathroom.

if we listen to our flight attendants, don't take this off. number one. number two is know where you're sitting. i prefer the aisle so if i have to get out and take action but i don't have my body hanging outside the aisle because you don't want anything to hit it. number three, i'm going to look at you two and assess you folks. i see you have a child and if you need help, i'm going to ask you may i help that child. these are things you need to take care of. in case you have to get into a crash position, you go forward like this and don't put your hands up like we've all done. you know when the car brakes because you're going to break your arms. you get in that crash position and listen to queues from the flight attendants or if the plane makes impact. >> what about a five-year-old or three-year-old that's smaller. your head is down. they're in the same position as you are? >> you're going to take that child and have that, your arm around that child secured to both of you. then you know exactly if it's a family, we're going,

the three of us, we're going to get out of dodge together. >> and then i pray. >> this would be an interesting sitcom if we were a family. all this happens, the thing about turbulence is you don't usually hear announcements about turbulence. you could be walking and all of a sudden you're in an unpredictable situation. the plane could drop suddenly. >> if there's turbulence and the person next to you is a stranger and they've got a big laptop, you may want to ask them to put that away because there is a good chance that is going to hit you along with hot coffee or soup. make sure once that turbulence starts to hit get that out of your way so you don't get hit with debris. >> all belongings matter not. >> do not take the time to go in that overhead. just sit and if you have to evacuate, don't grab anything. go. >> if you're in the restroom do you stay there or try to get out? >> it depends on the turbulence. your judgment. if it is really bad, ride

it out. if not, get back to your seat. >> great job. thanks so much. i notice you have the scarf to cover your mouth. >> in case smoke. >> steve? >> thank you very much. did we rent those airline seats or is an airline just missing some? >> we'll call it borrowing. >> got you. good information. coming up, a new proposal causing quite a stir this morning. parents and even teachers will be allowed to spank children hard enough to leave a mark. is that a good idea? we're going to tell you where that's happening. then take a look at this unbelievable video. the driver of that car was still inside. how she managed to walk away without a strafp. first happy birthday to roger goodell. he's 55. happy birthday, mr. football.

out there who do spank. what this would do is if you allow your child to be spanked in school, you just say if they act up, go ahead and you can spank them. but it defines so that a parent or a caregiver or a teacher cannot be charged with abuse. it's too bad it's gotten to this stage where apparently somebody overdid it and now they've got to try to regulate spanking. >> what they do say is we give you permission to spank my child or somebody's child -- >> you cannot give permission to spank somebody else's kid. >> but they said it also tells you what you can't do. can't hit the kid with a fist, a belt, in the body. >> that's abuse. >> limiting it in other ways. we would love to know what you all think. let us know on facebook, twitter, e-mail. is this taking this too far? is spanking antiquated? is it giving parents more

power? >> how about this? the fear of getting spanked, knowing you're going to get spanked, is that going to keep you in line. number two, the fake spank. >> the appearance. >> what about -- i like the dirty look. >> that has always worked for me. antispankers say any force against children is unnecessary and damaging. you hit kids when they're small they are going to grow up and say it is okay to use pain to accomplish an end. that is one side. e-mail us, facebook us, twitter us. we want to know what you think. is this fine or over the line? >> little rascals even had a guy named spanky on the show. >> in kansas. >> he's not included in this proposed bill. >> i just thought it was important. >> thanks, brian. good morning, guys. what a debate that one is. got some news to bring you. a u.s. border patrol agent shoots and kills a suspected illegal immigrant at the mexican border. here's how it went down and

be done right. a lot of people say ronald reagan sat down with gorbachev but that was at the end of a multiyear process to set the right circumstances. president obama thinks he can skip all the preliminaries and not pay the cost. >> everybody's heart says let's get the sergeant back especially if you know the family and military. and there's pictures of him everywhere. nobody wants to forget him. how if you have a heart like our country does, do you deal with the heartless who actually hold on to him? >> we need to get him back but the question is whether those whom we are releasing are going to seize more people or cost more american blood. >> this is the stat that sticks out with you. of the 603 gitmo detainees we released 100 we know of have gone back to terror and now they come back with knowledge of the american system. however if you want khalid sheikh mohammed back, what's stopping you from getting a high ranking american official, high

profile person and get k.s.m. back? >> look at all the hostage diplomacy iran has engaged in, north korea, the taliban now. we're going to see this again and again if we give in to terrorists. >> my last question is knowing we're on the same planet as regimes like north korea, iran and others, how do you deal with him when you have to? >> when you have to, you have to use all the aspects of american power: military, economic and diplomacy but diplomacy by itself never does the trick. >> the theme in your book seems to be strength. thanks so much mike rubin. thank you for joining us. 12 minutes before the top of the hour. he's a dad with a unique style of tough love. >> oh my god! you look like a young version of him. >> that's what i'm striving to be. >> you can take that [bleep] off that's not going to happen.

(whistling) good morning. today is wednesday, february 19. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. president obama promising to sign another executive order today as new reports say last week's order could kill close to a million jobs. this could be why. 70% of his voters say they regret reelecting him. take a look at this picture. this is the inside of a plane completely trashed. it wasn't because of unruly passengers. it was because of unpredictable turbulence. we'll explain. and so much for setting a good example. guess who is not paying their taxes. that's right. executives at the irs. all right. it's wednesday morning. wake up, people, because mornings are better with friends

>> this is mike roy. you're watching "fox & friends." brian, he don't smell great. steve, he dresses great and the girl. don't get me started. >> wow. he's going to be on in a half hour to defend himself. >> he better. >> steve, for the record, steve was the one who read the irs story. >> just saying. >> sometimes they watch and they might be wondering -- you don't care, do you? >> what story? >> believe me, washington is hanging on every word. and there is a new poll out this morning that it's a jaw dropper. the economist re-ran the last election. according to the results, if the election were held today, mitt romney would actually beat barak obama. 55 million votes for mitt romney. 52 million votes for barak obama. as for the people who voted for

the president, they're having second thoughts. >> this accounts for 71% of obama voters. look at this. 55 democrats regret voting for his reelection and out of the poll, 80% of whites said when asked that they did regret voting for president obama. then in terms of african-americans, 39% regretted it. hispanics, 100% of hispanic voters regretted their vote. >> 100% of the hispanics that were polled regretted voting for president of the united states. >> one thing to keep in mind, mitt romney is almost like the first lady. he's somebody out there, but hasn't really had to make a decision for a year and a half, except to okay that movie. >> what it shows is that people are upset with the direction of the country. it also shows that barak obama, the voters have moved on and he's already a very early lame duck. in the same poll, 84% of women said yes, do you regret voting for barak obama?

61% of men. here is another one that's amazing. 55% of the democrats. 55% of the democrats said yes, we regret voting for him. 71% of independents who did vote for him said they regret it. >> it is the independents who put people in the white house. for a majority number like that, that's not -- >> and women, too. the focus on women in this last election are always a focus in terms of getti their vote. >> one woman in particular, hillary clinton, 55% favorable. she hasn't had to make a decision either. people are already -- >> the washington examiner explaining why people want a doover. >> people are visceral about this kind of reaction to the president. they're not going through their

checklist to see if he kept those promises. they're saying, am i better off than i was years ago before he took office? a lot of people, that's not the case. the economy is still growing very slowly. hiring is weak, housing starts are not that great. manufacturing. all these economic indicators saying things are not going very well. people are hurting. i think that's the big difference. >> that's one of the reasons a brand-new gallup poll, the number within problem is unemployment in the united states. while the white house is trying to distract the american public from the disaster that is obamacare, it looks like if the president gets his next wish, using his pen and phone and by executive fiat, raising the minimum wage to 10.10 an hour, it could actually, rather than increase productivity in the country, that particular measure of increasing the minimum wage, according to the nonpartisan congressional budget office, could cost up to 1 million

americans their jobs. >> douglas holtz who used to run the cbo weighed in. >> really striking part of the cbo report was this does nothing for poverty. it raises about $31 billion for low wage workers. 19% goes to people in poverty. there are 45 million americans in poverty. 900,000 get helped. this is a puny, puny effort and the white house is pumping it up as a big deal. they'll change the rules if they have to. they'll argue about the results of a cbo study which is pretty common sense when you get right down to it. that's all election year politics. we're going to see more, not less, in the months to come. >> he also said the best strategy was -- he was surprised that the cbo was questioning them. >> the white house liked half of it, the part that showed 900,000 people would be above the poverty line. they like that number. but the up to 1 million could

lose their job, we don't like that number. >> right. the nonpartisan cbo report was only partially favorable in their eye. >> right. >> it's like mom, i hope you like my a in english because i got a c in physics. let's focus on the a. >> right. those numbers will, in time, prove to be challenging as we move into the midterm election. we're going to move over to heather nauert. >> talk being big challenges, there is a lot going on overseas. in the ukraine, but we start with a disturbing picture. that is a person right there who is in flames during another night of violent clashes with police. here is what it looks like right now in the capitol. that violence leaving at least 25 people dead. among them, some police officers. overnight the police moved into a protest camp with stun guns and also grenades and water cannons. protesters lighting fires to create a barricade. the riots began back in november after the president of the ukraine turned down a long

anticipated deal with the european union in exchange for $15 billion from russia in a bailout. >> this is russia's attempt to grab ukraine as a way to reconstitute a mini soviet empire. remember, putin is a guy who said the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the breakup of the soviet union. here is his attempt to reconstitute it. >> protesters there fighting for democracy. they want ukraine to join the european union. we'll keep you posted on this throughout the day as it escalates. more breaking news overnight. police issuing an amber alert and this spans three states right now. they need your help. they are look for a missing girl from missouri. ten-year-old haley owens was kidnapped from the front lawn of her house in the middle of the afternoon. officers finding the suspect, but still no sign of haley. she was last seen wearing blue jeans, shorts and purple sandals. she's 5 feet tall, light brown hair and weighs about 90 pounds. the so-called craigslist

killer revealing where she says she buried her victims. this according to a new report out. she says she murdered at least 22 people in cold blood across the country. the 19-year-old is behind bars for the death of a man she met on craigslist and facing the death penalty right now. and thieves go to great lengths to rob a store. they used their car to smash into the wall of a convenience store in houston. what did they get away with? well, you know what they really wanted? beer. that's what they were going in there for. the damage to the store? about $5,000. they managed to get away with -- you think a lot? no. 18 cans. >> that's it? >> yep. not even a full case. >> what the heck. >> that's not a good night for them. >> 8 minutes after the top of the hour. one of the biggest news in the entertainment world happened in new york city. >> across the street. >> for the first time in 30-plus years we have the "tonight show" in new york city and it opened

up across the street. we had the big night with jimmy fallon, opening up, taking over for jay leno. then when you look at the ratings and the fact that u2 is on and every celebrity gave him $100, the ratings were pretty strong. but not as strong as leno's farewell. >> everyone thought it was a good night, 11.3 million people watched monday night. second biggest audience since may of 2009 when jay leno stepped down. >> that's right. it looks like 14.6 million tuned in on february 6 to see jay leno sign off. the debut was up 71% over jimmy's late night farewell audience of 6.6 million. the big question will be whether or not -- keep in mind, this is one of the olympics weeks over on nbc. he was delayed a half hour in his first night out. but after all the hype of the olympics, will people still keep watching? the answer is yes, if he's funny. was he funny last night?

you be the judge. >> russian olympic committee says that one of the giant olympic rings that malfunctioned during the opening ceremonies -- you remember that -- they say it will be working for the closing ceremonyies. the good news, looks like russia will be ready for the start of the winter olympics by the end of the winter olympics. there are reports that apple is planning to make medical device that could help predict heart attacks. which is ironic since most heart attacks happen when you think you lost your iphone. somebody call it! >> by the way, his debut was slightly above conan o'brien's debut. >> how did that work out for him? >> but to conan's defense, he had jay leno at 10:30, a lot of people said sucking a lot of his audience out. it will be exciting, i think, because jimmy kimmel had like a 2 point something. letterman was slightly above that. right now he's off to a substantial start. >> many say if he keeps his

promise and keeps it funny, then he'll be okay. >> letterman only aims it one way. leno aimed it both ways. >> exactly. all right. it is now 7:11 in new york city. we're wide open for business. coming up for this wednesday, president obama and the democrats are waging a war against the rich, targeting the 1% to pay more taxes. who are the 1%? you might be surprised. in fact, there is a good chance you're part of the 1%. stuart varney here next to break it all down. he's got the numbers. look who else is here. mike roe. >> this is a double team! this has never been done before [ male announcer ] v8 v-fusion plus energy. natural energy from tea packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it's what you need for that extra boost!

we know president obama and the democrats are waging war against the rich. but who exactly is the so-called 1%? the rich? it's not who you might think. stuart varney is the host of varney and company and here to explain. you do money for a living. you talk about it for a living. i was shocked by some of these stats. first off, how do you know if you're part of that 1%? >> if you make more than $307,000 a year, you are in the 1%. that makes you a 1%er. 307,000 per year. we automatically assume that's all wall street. that's the financiers and bankers. they're the top 1%. that is incorrect. only 18% of the super rich actually work in finance. only 18%. about one in five. there are more doctors among that 1% than there are people in finance. >> look at this, here is the exact numbers. 30% of the executives in nonfinance, 14% are the doctors. by the way, that number is

decreasing. 13% of people in finance. and 8% are lawyers. so the 1% are not the people you think are the 1%. >> who are the ones running the ads in the voiceovers and say they're the problems. >> precisely. here is another myth about the 1%. we assume, because they're being attacked, that they make all their money cat at capital gains. that's not correct. only 19% of the income of the top 1% comes from capital gains, like trading stocks or bonds. wall street traders. only 19% of their money comes from that source. 30%, one in three dollars, comes from salaries and running a business, like regular ordinary people. >> 22% businesses and partnerships. >> 19% from capital gains and investments and 2% on various walks of life. >> here you are, you're demonizing wall street, you're going after them. you're saying, we're going to take your money, we're going to give it to the poor. a, that is extremely divisive

for america. and b, it's based on a false premise. you're going after people who should not be gone after. >> we were kidding around, you walked out with michael row. bottom line is what i get from this segment, you got to work for a living. you got to earn a salary, earn your way up. >> wait a minute. america remains a meritocracy. there is social mobility up and down. the pew people did a study. 10% of the entire population goes from the very bottom to the very top. 10% of the people who start out at the bottom of the food chain, that's where they start out, 10% of those people go all the way up to the top. there is social mobility in the united states of america. we should not forget it. >> there is a huge portion of this country who are first generation millionaires. that means they did not inherit what they got. they learn -- >> i inherit your money in europe. that's the aristocratcy.

the national weather service defines an ice storm as a storm that produces how much ice accumulation? you have four choices. the first is a, a quarter of an inch of ice accumulation. b, a half inch of ice. c, three quarters of an inch. or d, one inch of ice accumulation. so we're asking here, the national weather service classifies an ice storm as how much ice accumulation? >> i was really hoping for an all of the above. moderate essay type thing. look, what's the difference? you slip on a quarter inch or half inch. you're going down. >> it's not the way you play it. inch of ice,ht. that's an ice storm. we go with a. >> you are correct. >> all right! >> the correct answer is a. a quarter inch of ice. >> this has been great. >> great job. then a follow up to the fact, with a quarter inch of ice, car windshields become coated,

bridges become slippery and ice is on trees. >> let's be honest, steve, you saved him. >> maria, thank you very much. >> mike, you know him from "dirty jobs." he's got a new book out called "profoundly disconnected." if you notice on the title, it's got pro and con highlighted. >> thank you. >> you referred to it as a one-page book and in the book, you refer to it as a fake book. >> true. yeah. both of those things are true. mostly it's a fund-raiser. among the various things 2003 is try and raise money and awareness around the steel trades, so we award work ethic, scholarships and run what we call sort of the perpetual chronic pr campaign for alternative education and skill trades. we talked about this a lot. >> because there are not enough people out there these days who are learning how to do things. >> look, one of the disconnects, at least in my life, was from

2003 when "dirty jobs" started until last year when it ended, the headlines, certainly on this show and in every major media outlet were about unemployment, no jobs. unemployment, no jobs. all the jobs are gone. everywhere i went, everywhere, help wanted signs. at the height of the recession, it was help wanted. from my experience, something going on in the country that people really weren't talking about. and i engaged employers wherever i could find them in all 50 states and i heard the same thing again and again. if you're willing to learn a truly useful skill and really, no kidding, work your butt off, you're still okay. we're desperate for those people. so it's a different element to the narrative we typically hear, but it's real. >> tell me what you think and i think it's building on what you just said. what do you think is the most -- biggest problem facing our country right now? is it basically what you just said? people not working hard or not finding the right jobs and not seeing that as a valuable occupation? >> look, to be fair, again, i'm

no economy mist, but i think there are two separate conversations going on in the country. one conversation is about workers and parody and how we can improve conditions. the other conversation really talks about the definition of a good job. the meaning of work, the willingness to see what a lot of people might call a bad job and only see an opportunity. >> i think you hit the nail on the head. when it comes to young individuals and how they define what work and -- people are more and more concerned, the increasing concern with americans is that they're worried about jobs. more is now than last month. with the young individuals, we hear that okay, they're not being told that these jobs are okay. they're not being trained and then they're sort of a shaming when it comes to certain job. >> it's worse than that. you've got maybe 3, 3 1/2 million jobs right now that exist. many of those are in trades and transportation. if you get into the high schools, really at the granular

level and listen to the conversations that go on between the guidance counselor and kid, to this day, so often the kinds of jobs that we featured on my show, the kinds of jobs where you could make a decent six figures if you learn a skill are being used as cautionary tales. >> that could be you. >> that's right. so if you don't get your four-year degree, if you're not careful, you could wind up over turning a wrench. but right now if you know how it turn a wrench and use your brain, the opportunities are there. >> the first thing i learned in high school before i learned how to type and became a journalist was i learned how to weld. to this day, art or g i'm good at. >> -- g -- gas, i'm good at. >> 800 jobs right now they're trying to fill over at a big local ship builder. they're struggling. they're struggling to fill the jobs. that's where we award our scholarships. that's one of the schools. >> mike, i got to talk to you about some of the fallout from your wal-mart ad. you say it's -- of everything you experienced in your career,

never anything like it. >> before you tell us about the fallout, let's see what you were talking about. here is his ad for wal-mart. >> we will build things and build families and build dreams. it's time to get back to what america does best because work is a beautiful thing. >> how can there be fallout from that? >> you wouldn't believe it, man. right now on my little humble facebook page, i'm late to the social thing, 7 million views. not just of the ad. 7 million people are arguing with me about why that was good or bad. >> what do they -- why do they say work is bad? >> what they're saying really is i think it would be called could cognitive disdense. it's been something when you're trained to hate comes out and does the very thing you've been asking them -- >> you say hate wal-mart? >> look, maybe that's a bit

hypergolic, but wal-mart incites a lot of emotion on both sides. and i don't know if you saw the fine print, but what wal-mart has pledged to do is purchase a quarter of a trillion dollars of usa-made goods over the next ten years. it's basically an appeal to the united states for 2 1/2 billion dollars. i wanted to do the ad. i'm not a spokesman for wal-mart, but i'm up to my neck in american manufacturing and skill trades. that's the first ad i've seen in a long time from a major retailer that says hey, look, think about us whatever you want. we're doubling down on the country. do you want to be involved? i said, are you kidding me? i'll narrate it from my bedroom. it's my pleasure because look, if other companies see this, home depot, loews, run down the list. if in relative terms they commit to purchase incrementally american-made goods, i think it's going to move the needle. >> it has to.

>> right. >> and jobs, by the way. all this comes down to work force development. that's what i meant before by two separate conversation. now we get to have the conversation about is that a good job or bad job? is that something i would do? is that something i feel -- or we can say, wow. you know what? now symptoms and causes are in the right order. we're creating an opportunity. those jobs can be filled. then we can have the next conversation. >> this has been a great conversation. once again, he's got a great book out that does benefit his organization called "profoundly disconnected." it's a one-page book, but it's great book. >> it's a real page turner. literally. >> thank you very much. >> you're welcome. thanks for having me. >> nice to see you. coming up, a new proposal causing quite a stir this morning. parents and even teachers being allowed to spank children hard enough to leave bruises and marks. is this a good idea? your e-mails are pouring in on this. >> mike, we're having your mom

we have a facebook post from one who said i never allow corporal punishment from teachers when my children were in school. i do allow parents to spank. >> missy says this, support for parents. anyone else lays a hands on my kid and they will have to deal with me. >> what this bill does is spells out exactly what is considered corporal punishment as opposed to abuse to protect teachers and parents as well. larry has this facebook post: i got it at school and home. we didn't have shootings. we didn't have students bullying their teachers. the only thing we had was respect. >> tweet from stella: spanking is bullying. discipline does not need physical abuse to be effective. >> linda says, i have two grown sons that i never spanked. i never raised my voice. i would never have allowed anyone else to spank them as i consider that both abuse, both sons are successful, one with a masters and one with a ph.d.

baltimore, i believe, at a safeway place talking about mileage standards for trucks. as it turns out, he took a whole bunch of trucks up there, drove them around trip. former governor haley barber was on the channel. he has figured out what the president is doing with this executive orders thing and his pen. >> i believe the american people will look at that and say, did he really mean that or is it like if you like your health insurance you can keep it? truth turned out to be obama really meant if my administration and i like your health insurance, you could keep it. you're obviously too stupid to know what's good for you. >> yeah. the next thing he might be looking to change is medicare advantage because a lot of people like that and that's in the obamacare plan and a lot of people are saying, you got to get rid of it because if you take this away, there is going to be no supplement to their insurance s. he going to make his 30th change to

obamacare? now let's talk about something else. last week we saw an executive order, the president officially signed, raising the minimum wage for federal workers to 10.10. he wants the whole country to follow in suit. he wants the congress to push this piece of legislation. however, the cbo did some math. >> they did the math and the white house is probably not liking this part of it. they said the minimum hike wage could actually result in the loss of 500,000 jobs, possibly up to a million. right? so this is something that is obviously concerning a ton of americans, will concern the white house as they move into the midterm elections. we actually sat there with mike rowe of "dirty jobs" and he said, let me break down the conversation that should be happening. >> i feel like there are two separate conversations going on in the country. one conversation is about workers and parody and how we can improve conditions. the other conversation really talks about the definition of a good job, the meaning of work,

the willingness to see what a lot of people might call a bad job and only seeing opportunity. >> when you take a look at the brand-new gallup polling data that's come out, the number one problem that people feel in this country is unemployment. 23% say unemployment is number one. 20% say the economy in general. 19% dissatisfaction with the government and poor leadership as well. so if the number one problem is unemployment and yet, you got the president pushing -- jacking up the minimum wage to 10.10, but it's going to cause up to a million more people to lose their job, and then you've got obamacare, which could cost the equivalent of 2.5 million people their job, right there on those two initiatives you're talking about 3 1/2 million people out of work. we need to turn it around and go the other way and yet, that at this point, is where we're heading. >> the administration chose yesterday to say, i don't like

half that report. you can't do that. we like the part we like. they said the actual job losses could range from very slight to a million. big difference. heather nauert has other news breaking around the world. a lot of unrest oversea. >> in the ukraine, we've been following that closely. we start with a disturbing scene out of kiev. a protester, you can see right here, in flames during violent clashes with police that continue to escalate this morning. here is what it looks like right now in the capitol. the death toll rising just since we went on the air this morning. 26 people are dead, including ten police officers. overnight, police moving in to a protest camp with stun grenades and also water cannons. protesters lighting fires to create a barricade between themselves and the police there. these riots started back in november after the president of that country turned down a deal with the european union in exchange for a $15 billion bailout from russia. listen to this.

>> this is russia's attempt to grab ukraine as a way to reconstitute a mini soviet empire. remember, putin is a guy who said the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the breakup of the soviet union. here is his attempt to reconstitute it. >> that is exactly what this is all about. protesters there say they want democracy and they want ukraine to join the european union. we'll continue to follow this one throughout the day. brand-new information about a multi-state amber alert and a search for this missing little girl, haley owens. moments ago, police in missouri holding a press conference naming the suspect, craig wood. he is now under arrest. >> that search resulted in evidence related to this case and evidence of foul play. that's all i'm at liberty to discuss about this investigation as it is ongoing at this time. >> that is a new piece of information we just got in a short time ago. ten-year-old haley was kidnapped from her front yard in the

middle of the afternoon. she was last seen wearing blue jean shorts, purple sandals. she's five feet tall, has light brown hair and weighs 90 pounds. our thoughts and prayers go out to her family this morning. we'll watch this story as well. incredible rescue last night. crews pulling a woman and her dog from this massive sinkhole that opened up in her own backyard. this happening in portland, oregon. the woman plunged 20 feet into this dark hole. neighbors hearing her screams called for help. they called the cops. the woman and her dog doing okay this morning. two thieves going to great lengths to rob a store. they used a car to smash into the window of a convenience store in houston. you think they got away with a ton of stuff. see what's on the roof of his car? beer. yep. damages, total about $5,000. he got away with an 18-pack -- was that bud lite? brian, you're the expert. >> i believe it was natural

lite. i'm pretty sure. which come from the organic chemicals to make your beer. >> i'm receiving word it was bud lite. >> there we go. >> that makes sense then. if it is bud lite, it's worth smashing into a 7-11. >> and going to jail. >> very good. they could play quarters. >> coming up, she actually murdered -- she said 22 people in cold blood. but there is brand-new evidence that the craigslist killer is telling a big fat lie. peter johnson, jr. is going to break that down next. >> plus, nobody put katy on the cover. but don't worry. she found a way to steal the spotlight anyway and her photo shoot is out of this world. i don't know who is more challenged, the models or the photographer. somebody get some gravity.

there are new questions this morning over the so-called craigslist killer's stunning confession. she says she murdered at least 22 people starting when she was 13 years old. yesterday we spoke to the reporter who interviewed the self-proclaimed serial killer. >> i said, miranda, you're a 5' 6 girl, there is nobody in the world that's going to believe this. and she looked me right in the face and she said, i don't care. i want to get this off my chest. then i said, i need a number. give me what you're saying. and she said, well, i stopped counting at 22. so it's hard to say. i know if i were authorities, i would seriously be looking into a lot of the things she said. >> can we believe her? is she trying to cop a plea? joining us is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr.

>> that's a really good question. this has captured the imagination and terror of a lot of americans who thought a 19-year-old woman over six years could kill between 22 to 100 people. she said she stopped counting at 22. in five different states. it's boggling. i don't think it's possible. we don't have the evidence at this point, but there are some things that are pointing that perhaps this is not an accurate or true story. i hope it's not a true story. number one, the people in alaska say, listen, she lived in the north pole, alaska, up until the time she was five. they don't have that many missing people in north pole, alaska. the officials in the county in pennsylvania saying we haven't substantiated anything as of yet. and the fellow that runs the satanic cults across the united states says, she's not a registered member of this. maybe she's part of some

underground cult. so when we see this -- i also spoke to dr. michael bodien, the great forensic pathologist, he said it's unusual that you would have a woman attached to a series of alleged murders like this. so we're talking about a girl at age 13, 14, 15, after being part of one murder, she says, going on completing another 20 something murders. >> what about anyone with her? >> she said the first murder that she participated in was done with an associate. but she stopped murdering. she has it in her soul and heart that she wanted this to come out so she would not do it anymore. we do know that she has an affinity for the fantasy game called dark soul, which is a very dark, death-laden video game on play station and other kind of video type things where

there is a lot of killing involved. we do know that she says that she was abused as a child. she did say that she had an abortion as a result of an unwanted pregnancy. her mother denies that fact. so going back to your original question, is she trying to cop a plea? is she trying to say that she's insane? she makes some references to the fact that she believes she's insane and that she has a darker side. is there something more malevolent in terms of her intent? is she trying to show the world i am crazy and i want to get away with this crazy, and perhaps other murders. apparently the public defender did not know she would be making these taped statements. the statements she made to the reporter we interviewed yesterday were recorded. so they have recordings of that. but at this point, f.b.i., alaska, and no other states have come forward and said yes, we

have certain people that are missing that match what she is talking about. there is one story in the daily mail today, english publication that says that, in fact, she is providing details as to locations. she said that she could provide locations on a map as to the murders that she actually committed. but i would suggest that as a matter of logic and as a matter of past history, that we've got to look at this with a grain of salt. a lot of people claim that they commit serial murders. a lot of people are lying about that. we hope that she's lying about this. the pieces have not yet come together with regard to this bizarre case of 19-year-old miranda barber who said she killed between 22 and 100 people. >> lot of unanswered questions. we thank you for being with us this morning. coming up, she didn't like the half naked woman on the t-shirts, but the store manager wouldn't get rid of them. what did this mom do? she bought all of them herself

>> you were probably on the cover. >> i wasn't, but i wanted to be. i like that magazine. it said, try metamucil. i'm italian, so it's not like i got any problems. i tried it and i've been using it ever since. well, procter & gamble comes along and they want to do this contest where they're trying to raise awareness of health and wellness all over the country. they devised this contest called the do more than you think contest. do more than you think.com. there were 1500 entries of organizations to win a $100,000 prize. most of these organizations are charitable organizations. >> what do you mean doing more than you think? >> do more than you think duke to get your sever -- you can do to get yourself and society, to be a more healthy society. >> you know what's interesting about what you said? a lot of people think of metamucil and think of old

people. i never thought about it for cholesterol. >> you know when you get that glass of water in the morning. i was telling steve, i used to be a fighter. you get a lot of discipline, makes you stay in the gym because you always think the other guy is training. >> you're haunted by that. >> yeah. you want to be in as good a shape as him. after that, it's basically to make up for the damage you do at night. you're hanging out, you're having a good time, drinking, whatever you're doing. metamucil at first was part of that regime. i was trying to make up for things. but it's been fabulous. i'll tell you how nuts i am about it. i went to paris christmas time, movie opened there and -- >> you were great in that. >> i wasn't fishing, but thanks. i forgot my metamucil. i went to the pharmacy and they said no, no, they don't have it. it was an interesting experience with all that crazy food you eat

society. they're feeling superiority, exceptionalism, all americans feel that way. exceptionalism, then a feeling ever insecurity, interestingly juxtaposed, which creates drive to prove yourself, and then the last thing was impulse control, which recently i got hold of that. but my point is that that's what it's all about. i still feel that way. and i was telling steve, i'm an old man. >> you're not that old. >> wait a minute. i'm 65 years old. >> but your message of health, you want to do this for -- >> wait a minute. >> you're not old! >> i'm 63. i'm actually 63. but i figure i'm close enough. what the heck. what am i waiting for? >> it's a great message. if people would like more information g to our web site and we will connect you -- >> try this! i'm telling you. it's a terrific thing.

the economists combined with yougov.com and re-ran the last election. how are voters over a year into the president's second term feeling about it? they re-ran it and if the election were held today, mitt romney would actually win. as for the people who voted for president obama, 71% say they regret voting for him. here is a specific breakdown on who has regret about voting for the president. >> when asked if they had regret, 80% of whites that voted who were surveyed said they did regret it. 39% of african-americans, and 100% of hispanics regret that vote. >> 84% of women said yes, they regretted voting for president obama. 61% of the guys. 55% of democrats. majority of democrats say they regretted it. here is -- this is the bad news right there. 71% of independents regretted voting for president obama because the independents are the people who put the people into

the white house. >> hillary clinton and mitt romney, their numbers go up because they haven't made any decisions. people always look better when you're not making decisions. the president is in the eye of the storm. susan of the washington examiner weighed in. >> people are visceral about this reaction to the president. they're not going through their checklist to see if he kept those promises. they're saying, am i better off than i was years ago before he took office? a lot of people, that's not the case. the economy is still growing very slowly. job hiring is very weak. housing starts are not that great. manufacturing. all these indicators are saying things are not very well. people are hurting. i think that's the big difference here. >> people are hurting. then you combine it with the fact that the cbo says that if the minimum wage was jacked up, up to a million people could lose their jobs. suddenly the president of the united states looks like he has lame duck status very, very early and that's not good for him trying to get anything done.

>> we'll see what type of power he has after the mid terms. fee loses the senate -- >> he's got no power now. >> but if he loses the senate on top of that, then he's really going to be ham strung. meanwhile, talk about hamstrung, heather nauert hurt herself yesterday. i believe her hamstring is sore. >> i got a few bumps and bruises from the spill yesterday. >> it's a tough business. >> where were you, brian? >> i wasn't there to cushion your fall. >> that's okay. peter was, and elisabeth. we are following a story that's taking place along sus-mexican border. border patrol agent shoots and kills a suspected illegal immigrant at the mexican border and here is how it all went down from what we've heard so far. two agents were trying to stop two people from trying to cross the border near san diego. a third man started throwing rocks at the agents, that agent fearing for his life, shot the other man dead. the two other suspects are under arrest at this hour. we'll keep watching this story for you. she is getting the boot to go with that fur. see this lady? she's new york city's notorious

principal school no. that's how people are calling the school. the department of education says she platanly lied about her attendance and pull up in her bmw, late for school if she showed up at all. she spent taxpayer dollars to redecorate her office while her students lacked basic supplies. what do you think of that. incredible video capturing the terrifying moment a speeding train plows right into a car that was stuck on the tracks. the driver was still behind the wheel. she got stuck on the tracks because of the snow and ice in illinois. look at this. then you see the car spin out of control before it crashes into a pole. this happened just outside chicago. the driver walked away with just bumps and bruises. the tv show "house of cards" is a huge hit in this country. take a look. >> power is a lot like real estate. it's all about location,

location, location. see you out of the source and higher property value. >> okay. so this morning we are finding out the show is big in china. especially with the high ranking members of the communist party. the reason? it affirms their propaganda that american politics, all corrupt, and that communism is better. those are your headlines. what do you think about that? see you later. >> thanks. from "house of cards" to house of snow, it's been snowing everywhere. but it's warming up today, isn't it, maria? >> that's right. not just in the northeast, but areas pretty much the entire region across parts east of the rockies. take a look at the midwest. high temperatures today are going to make it above 40 degrees for some of you, like in the city of chicago. in fargo, you'll be close to 40, at 38 degrees. temperatures well above average. that's going to be the story across the southeast and the east as we head into your thursday and even into friday to wrap up the workweek. however, those warm temperatures

are going to set the stage for some possible severe weather. tomorrow from parts of louisiana into the midwest, and then that severe threat will shift eastward for friday. we will track this storm system that could produce damaging winds and even large hail and isolated tornadoes. on the cold side of this system as we head into thursday, we actually have a threat for a blizzard in parts of iowa and minnesota. blizzard warnings already in effect. a winter storm watch as well due to strong winds and heavy snow. let's head back inside. >> it's still winter. thank you very much. could snow a little more. >> that's right. coming up, he's a republican that's just won a mayor's seat. does he have a chance here if the political shift. he'll join us next. >> i was in san diego. plus, you know him best as kevin arnold's older brother, but jason hurlry has come a long way since "the wonder years." he's here to tell us what he's

but certainly resonates across the country and other cities, which is the need for pension reform. the need to continue the reforms that we've made here, competition for city services. common sense, nuts and bolts policies that help reinvest dollars back into our neighborhoods and so we saw here in san diego last week that that was a message that appealed across the spectrum. >> sure. you're talking about common sense. i know the republican party is talking about common sense as opposed to the democrat party which a number of people on your side say look, they're the party of the free stuff. and it's hard to argue with free stuff. who am i going to vote for? the common sense party or the free stuff party? i'm going to vote for the free stuff party. how do republicans take your message and translate that into some wins? >> we said look, if we're going to provide the things we're supposed to, streets that are paved, hiring more cops in our neighborhoods, keeping our libraries open, we have to make sure we're continuing the reforms at city hall so we have the dollars to do that. my campaign was very, very clear about that.

i would note in the face of extraordinary spending from washington, d.c. government employee unions that came in to this race, particularly in the last month, spent close to $4 million. but it didn't work. it didn't work at all because people know what we've been through in san diego. my message was we're going to continue those reforms, provide better economic opportunities and as i said, that's the message that worked in every single neighborhood. >> you know what? that does give some, i would imagine on the republican side, optimism, that voters actually do care about ultimately what's happening. i mean, if you look at washington right now, the latest information from the congressional budget office is that if the minimum wage went up to 10.10, it looks like a million americans could lose their job. if people listen to that, they realize, wait a minute, maybe that's not such a good idea. so the fact that people are listening to your message, that's positive. >> well, i think they listened to it and voted overwhelmingly. when we were talking about we

see -- san diego was literally on the verge of bankruptcy about eight years ago. we came in and turned it around. the message that you can turn it around if you stick to the principles and policies that make sense because then we have the ability to actually provide the services that our neighbors expect and deserve. so it was a very positive message. people saw if we continue this, they actually will have better neighborhoods, more cops on the street. basic common sense not only here in san diego, but i think in cities across the country. >> sure. that's stuff we all want. brand-new mayor-elect in san diego, republican kevin faulkner, thank you very much and congratulations. >> thanks for having me today. >> 22 minutes before the top of the hour on this wednesday. you know him best as kevin arnold's older brother, but jason hervey has come a long way since "the wonder years." he's here next to tell us what he's been up to. but first let's check in with martha mccallum who joins us with a preview of what happens

life. he used to torture me like that. now he's a lawyer. go figure. >> did you know you'd end up behind the camera? 'cause that's what you do now. >> yeah. most everybody in my family are on the business side of the entertainment business. so actually i was the only knuckle head that was like, i'm going to go be an actor. but it was natural for me in my upbringing to more gravitate toward the business side. so if you know my family, whatever, this is actually more natural than being an actor. >> for four years, you shopped around your show. it is now a big hit out there. tell us a little bit about it. >> well, our production company, we produce a variety of reality shows, from "hard core pound," true tv, doing a big nick carter series coming up. we have a lot of different shows, including scott baio. >> you're a mogul! >> no, no. just find good projects. so "the devil's ride."

pretend to be some type of mc expert, although i have a passion for riding motorcycles and i have a lot of respect for that world. but that is what it comes down to. in that world, respect is everything. and he showed disrespect. and that's what everybody reacted to. 'cause we're very proud. we're not saying we're the toughest guys. we're just very proud of what we've done and what has been a very, very tough journey. so what did i do to answer your question? of course, i thought about what i could say back in 140 characters or less and i fired off more of a wake-up call than a challenge to him. >> you know with a? we'll talk about that on the other side of a timeout. jason, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> right back. >> more on "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ ♪ good job! still runnng in the morning? yeah. getting your vegebles every day?
