6:00 am
we're going to be watching your show "devil's ride" on discovery. >> thank you. monday nights. >> congratulations on all your success. tomorrow we have jewel and she'll only appear if we have frank luntz. >> incredible combo. >> maybe i'll stay for that. bill: stick around. goodgood morning, everybody. fox news alert. the deadly chaos continues in kiev. this is the latest image from ukraine. 26 dead, hundreds more injured as antigovernment protests continue in the tug-of-war between russia and the west. a live report on the ground in a matter of minutes here. fox news alert,. minimum wage rise would cost jobs in america. if raised to $10.10 an hour. congressional budget office says half a million jobs would be lost and concludes incomes will rise for 16 million americans.
6:01 am
there is give-and-take. i'm bill hemmer. a big welcome back to martha. coming out of the mountains and back to the city. martha: out of the mountains and back to the city where there is more snow than the mountains sometimes. good morning i'm martha maccallum. this report is released just as the senate gets ready to debate the proposal to raise the minimum wage to $10.10. bill: my friend, this will cost a lot of jobs. how do you see it? >> raising a minimum wage is the mainstay of the president's economic policy cbo, government's own bean counters objectives down the line analysts say one-half million jobs will be lost by 2016 if you raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, bill. bill: i wonder if people thought that they conclude it will raise income. is that a fair tradeoff? >> let me get to that. 16.5 million people will get a raise, but, will only add
6:02 am
$2 billion in real net income. that is a direct quote from the cbo, real net income, only goes up $2 billion. that is in a $15.5 trillion economy. one more item. 30% of all of that money, actually goes to people who are already making three times the poverty level. only 19% of it goes to people below the poverty level. you be the judge if that is a good trade. bill: very interesting when you dig into these numbers. the white house is pushing back hard. it says the cbo is flawed. >> yes. they contest the jobs numbers. they go elsewhere and say there will not be the same number of job losses. what they're doing, i guess you call this spin. they're saying look, if you raise the income of 16.5 million people, you're doing something right. bill: you applaud the cbo twice in a week. i think that is new varney record. >> i'm giving the cbo a medal for honesty for the second time in two weeks. first of all they said obamacare
6:03 am
costs jobs. now they're saying raising the minimum wage costs jobs. they're honest. i give them a medal. bill: judge from england goes for the gold. see you at 9:20. thank you, stuart. >> sure. martha: fox news alert now. and a warning for americans who are in ukraine to stay indoors as the violence escalates in kiev yet again. the worst yet in ukraine since the antigovernment protests began in november. riot police tried to break up thousands of people coming out in independence square. at least 26 people have been killed in recent days in this confrontation. more than 240 have been injured in clashes with the police. there were new explosions overnight. protesters throwing fireworks and petrol bombs. the police in their armored vehicles striking back with stun grenades and water cannons. look at the scene in the streets of kiev as we watch all this play out. the demonstrators refusing to leave after three months of
6:04 am
protests there that have now paralyzed the capital. amy kellogg is live from moscow for us. amy, what's the latest? >> reporter: well the latest, martha, is that after some hours of relative calm, after all of the drama of last night it seems that the clashes are picking up again and the flames from the fires we saw are still going, although not to the extent they were last night. basically what is going on in kiev is just this. the city is being increasingly shutoff. the roads are being closed. the subways are shut down and a lost stores are closed. these demonstrations are starting to pick up in other cities in the country as well. now the fires we saw last night were actually a flame around the protesters to keep the police back. at least 26 people are dead. there are varying reports about just the extent to which each side is armed in this conflict. while it is way too simple to say that the conflict in ukraine, martha, is divided
6:05 am
along east-west lines it is not too simple to say that the blame being apportioned for the bloodshed is breaking down that way with western countries saying it is the responsibility of ukrainian government to keep the peace and keep the police from using heavy-handed tactics while the ukrainian government naturally, and the kremlin, saying that it is the blame of radical extremists protesters for what's been going on. and of course as we've been reporting, martha, ukraine is caught choosing between a western pattern and sticking more in the soviet orbit but unfortunately many people are saying they shouldn't have to be in a position of choosing 25 years after the cold war ended. martha? martha: so you're in moscow. that obviously is where the government backs the ukrainian president. what about the opposition leaders at this point? what are they doing? >> reporter: well and to just bring you up to speed on what's going on in moscow the kremlin has now said that it is going to
6:06 am
suspend the financial aid which was really the sweetener for ukraine to stay in the russian orbit. that aid has been slowly released on monday and there was a lot of speculation that that was why this move on the protesters so violently happened last night because russia would have expected if it was giving money ukraine would have been able, the government would have been able to keep the protesters under control. now the west as you asked, martha, western countries, the european commission is talking about some sort of targeted sanctions against the ukrainian leadership and secretary of state john kerry is expected to, the reporting now is, to announce that the u.s. is open to some sort of sanctions as well. but again, as we have seen, this violence flair -- flare. bill: peaking after three months of ebbing and flow on kiev, words of warning we heard from the vice president last night are simply not enough.
6:07 am
there is very little seems the west can do immediately, martha. martha: what is a story. amy, thank you very much. so the white house is condemning this violence in ukraine. here is press secretary jay carney on that. >> we are appalled by the violence that was already taking place in downtown kiev and reports of armed riot police massing on the edge. we continue to condemn street violence and excessive use of force by either side. force will not resolve the crisis. martha: so the obama administration urging the ukrainian government to exercise restraint. obviously this is an incredibly volatile situation. you think about vladmir putin cheering on his team at the olympics while this situation is blowing up in kiev. it is extraordinary. bill: you just mentioned white house reaction. there is reaction from paris as. we'll watch it throughout the day to see where it goes. those nighttime images are stunning. almost nightfall now. fox news alert. turbulence in the skies yet again. this time a flight from san francisco to hong kong.
6:08 am
nine people injured on board. passengers on a 747 say they went on a two-minute roller coaster ride and william la jeunesse is live in l.a. on this. i bet they won't forget this flight. what happened, william? >> reporter: this was atypical, bill, one the shaking was so violent over such a long period. two crew, six passengers hospitalized on the cafe pacific flight from san francisco to hong kong. paramedics at the gate there met one passenger in a neck brace. the turbulence hit the 747 as it passed over japan. six hours left in a 14-hour flight. likely most of the 321 aboard were asleep when the plane flew into this huge pocket of unstable air. the shaking lasted two minutes with one passenger describing the ride as more intense than a roller-coaster. >> translator: people sat in the middle hit the ceiling and the storage partments. the person in front of me hit the storage parliament so hard that the it cracked and bags
6:09 am
inside fell out. >> reporter: earlier orb lens hit and injured five on a flight to billings. two years ago a flight attendant was trying to secure the galley, was livelifted in the air and body slammed and hospitalize for a week. bill: how come on is this? >> reporter: leading cause of injuries to passengers and flight attendants. 60 injuries per year in the u.s. on average. over three decades three passengers died because of severe turbulence. 2/3 of the incidents occur at or above 30,000 feet, when the little light is usually off. not necessarily on takeoff and landing. what makes turbulence so dangerous? typically can't be seen. occurs unexpectedly when skies are clear. can be caused by jet streams, mountains, thunderstorms or warm or cold front. so keep your seatbelt fastened. bill: great point. william la jeunesse on that in los angeles. we had a story that william
6:10 am
mentioned yesterday, a baby flew out of the parents arms and landed three rose away. martha: can you imagine? bill: that is the weather in the air. speaking of weather, i don't know if it is stunning to you but there is sunshine in new york city. martha: start to see it in this picture. bill: when was the last time we saw that? we're going above 32 degrees today. all right. martha: need a little vitamin-d. we're just getting started here this morning, folks. this is a huge story. a big loss for the unions as workers at a tennessee auto plant after a long battle to get them to unionize say no, no thank you, to the union. senator bob corker has been a vocal opponent of that organized labor many coulding to his state. he will join us live moments away. bill: also new warnings about yet another toxic spill poisoning a critical water supply. an update on that today. martha: will democrats hold on to the senate come november? the white house says they believe yes. karl rove weighs in on what could happen if they don't.
6:11 am
>> responsibility -- >> control of the senate. that legislative agenda, put aside politics, lose control of senate, would be pretty hard to get that agenda through, wouldn't it? ? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

6:14 am
martha: new concerns about toxic waste leaking into a north carolina river. officials say wastewater containing unsafe levels of arsenic, is pouring into the dan river not far from greensboro. the river is contaminated by a pipe collapse after a ash dump. they say the plant is leaking contaminated water. they say the drinking water downstream is still safe. not sure how people will feel about that. the plant is ordered to stop the flow. bill: meanwhile now an update on this story. volkswagen's top labor representative threatening today to block further investments in south in the u.s. if there are workers there not unionized. this after employees at a plant in chattanooga voted against
6:15 am
last week for union representation. that vote was on friday. republican senator bob corker out of tennessee is my guest now here in new york. nice to see you again. you are intimately connected to this story. former mayor of chattanooga, you helped bring volkswagen to tennessee. what did you think of the comments out of berlin today saying that, you know, they're going to fight any effort to expand auto plants in the south? >> yeah. i look, there is a lot of tempers right now. big vote. didn't come out exactly the way a lot of people thought that it would. it was the right thing for our community and certainly the right thing for the employees at vw. but look, i things are going to work out just fine. conversations are beginning again. they were kind of at stalemate as this vote was taking place. but look, we support the works council notion that they're trying to implement. we just had concerns about the uaw. we know of their track record. we know what's happened in
6:16 am
communities where they have been located. we know they have been a job-destroying entity through the years. i worked so closely, bill, with them, and with the big three in detroit during the auto crisis. bill: 2008. we're all familiar with that. >> i had a glimpse into the uaw and what they were all about and i think workers, the great employees at volkswagen that are building outstanding vehicles understood that the uwa -- uaw was not going to be something that was constructive. bill: i have a lot to go through here. first from berlin. this is part of the works union out of the volkswagen there. on screen now. the conservatives stirred up massive antiunion sentiments. it is possible that the conclusion we draw this interference amounted to unfair labor practice. what do you think about that? >> let's describe what happened at the plant. the uaw tried to do this through card check. instead of having a secret ballot vote, they organized for two years inside the plant and tried to do so through again,
6:17 am
through card check without giving employees a chance to vote. since we encouraged that not to occur, we ended up having an eight or nine-day quickie election but only people that were allowed to be inside the plant was the uaw. so certainly there were many community voice that is cared deeply about our community and volkswagen. there were many community voices out there disgiving the other side of the story. inside that plant there was not that opportunity to do that. bill: many on the left are very critical about you. >> right. bill: they argue today you were out of line arguing against the union. >> i understand that i used to be a union member. i had men and women who worked in my company that were union. i'm not antiunion. i'm anti-uaw because of all the destruction they have done to jobs in our country, and an understanding of what they were about. bob king, head of the uaw, stated clearly the reason that they were organizing the
6:18 am
volkswagen plant was that they're in such decline they had to have dues coming in from the employees to survive. so this was all about none any. bill: those dues are about $600 on average a employee? >> they want the begin there, go through mercedes. let me say one more thing if i could. the vw employees already make more than the uaw employees at other plants that have worked. same amount of time. they're already in a world class facility. so again from our perspective this was about one thing,. it was about money. we wanted to point that out. fortunately the workers understood that. bill: i know you're very close to this community still. they argue that you said, if the union is defeated that another line for volkswagen will come into this plant. >> yeah. bill: is that true? >> we have strong indications and assurances that is going to be the case. i would have never made that comment if i hadn't had those assurances. and so, yes, i think over time that is what is going to happen.
6:19 am
obviously tempers have to cool. and i think, what you're seeing -- bill: can you say that is guaranteed today? >> if i would have said guaranteed i would have said it at the time. no. i've had assurances that is the case. bill: one more point then if that is the case and where it stands today and perhaps there is more business down there. perhaps the union wins this tug-of-war that they're going with the comment out of berlin today. what does it say overall about the union efforts in america, or in the american south? >> i think, i think that, that people have seen the combative nature of the uaw. i think they have seen the jobs stoppages, the strikes, the kinds of things that basically have hurt businesses in america. i think what employees want to see is a collaborative arrangement with management. and i think they saw the uaw as something that was old.
6:20 am
it was an old way of doing things. i think they saw that with vw, they had a great employer already doing the things that they wanted to see done with an employer. and so, again, for an entity like the uaw to be there for two years inside the plant and not to be able to win an eight or nine-day quickie election, i think it says a lot about the way they conduct themselves. fortunately the employees were able to see that too. bill: thank you for your time today, senator. bob corker, republican from tennessee here in new york. martha, what's next? martha: coming up we have new reaction to the stunning claims of a 19-year-old accused killer who says she murdered 22 people across the country. what authorities are saying about her so-called confession. bill: this outrage over pictures showing soldiers posing next to a flag-draped casket. today the fallout. >> i'm shocked that any soldiers would take this type of picture and then put it out on the

bill: there is doubt now about these claims made by a so-called craigslist killer. she said she killed at least 22 people across the country starting at age 13. prosecutors in pennsylvania say there is no evidence that miranda barbour committed crimes she boasted in a recent jailhouse interview. she is 19 years old. currently behind bars for the death of a man that she met on that classified website. she is facing the death penalty in that case. martha: texas is leading the way in attracting a crucial voting bloc to the republican party according to a new "gallup poll." we're talking about hispanic voters here. so what is going on in the
6:25 am
lone star state? senior national correspondent john roberts is live in atlanta. john, this obviously was a very difficult area of voters in the last presidential election. what do these numbers reveal now? >> reporter: the numbers reveal if republicans want to make inroads among hispanic voters, remember mitt romney only got 27% in 2012. they could take a lesson from texas. a recent poll found in the lone star state, democrats hold only 19% advantage among hispanic voters. nationwide that is 30%. why do we see the numbers? in texas, spending time in the hispanic community, engaging with latino leaders and voters on a daily basis is a practice engrained in the republican party. according to republican pollster whit ayers, something that could pay off if they took the texas model nationwide. >> the situation in texas represents a promise for the republican party across the country and indication what can happen if you have republican elected officials who are open
6:26 am
hispanic voters and campaign in hispanic communities. >> reporter: no one believes that the change will happen overnight. it is something that is going to take time. it is pretty clear, martha, what happened in 2012 the republican party needs to do something about it and do something quick. martha: everyone assumes immigration is the big issue for latino voters s that the case in texas? >> reporter: among hispanic politicians they said it is more of a gateway issue. this barrier of trust between the republican party and hispanic voters. what it comes down to hispanic voters it comes down to bred and butter kitchen table issues. the key for the republican party, for candidates to communicate the republican agenda effectively to latino voters. that is something jeb bush's son, george p is doing in state of texas. he is running for land commissioner. rand paul paid him a voice to it find out what the secret is?
6:27 am
>> my advice to senator rand paul and others running for office, reevaluation a paradigm shift if you will of tactics we engage in as republicans, and spending time in the community, not only the day before an election but the day after an election. >> reporter: george p. bush was part of his uncle's outreach to hispanic voters in 2000 and 2004 and he hit bilingual surrogates every day from day one. in 2004, george bush took 44% of the his panic vote. martha: i do, i remember. thank you, john. very interesting. bill: bombshell report now from the congressional budget office, two in a week by the way. bill: raising serious concerns about raising the minimum wage. we'll tell you what that's all about. plus there is more of this. martha: deadly chaos unfolding in ukraine and warnings to americans there as police and protesters battle for the future of that nation.

6:32 am
stay indoors. the violence is the worst ukraine has seen since these antigovernment protests started four months ago. a big tug-of-war between going with russia or the west. martha. martha: let's get back to this new report that came out from the cbo on the effect of the proposed minimum wage hike. the legislation would boost it from 7.25 an hour where it has been for some time, up to $10.10 for federal workers. the hope on the part of the administration, that would ripple through the rest of the economy as well. the cbo estimates if this were put in place, 500,000 jobs would be lost as a result, but it would also increase income for more than 16 million americans. democrats call the idea of lost jobs a myth but not everyone agrees. >> liberals, say, if you want people to smoke less, raise the price of tobacco. if you want people to drive less, raise price of gasoline. of the raise the price of
6:33 am
something, people buy less of it. then they come to the subject of entry level wages saying it will have no effect whatever. clearly it will have an effect. martha: interesting argument from george will on that. alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show and fox news contributor. tony sayegh, fox news contributor. welcome. good to have you here. boy the cbo has been busy putting out a lot of numbers maybe the administration is not too happy about. what do you make, alan of george will's argument there? >> i don't think democrats are making the argument there is no effect but i think there is a net benefit as opposed to a net loss. historically we haven't lost that many jobs and we're bringing 900,000 people out of poverty in addition to raising wages, as you point out for 16 1/2 million people. so it a net gain for people. >> martha is the second week, cbo said a major effort of this administration that democrats and congress back will be destructive to job creation which remains the biggest issue facing the country.
6:34 am
even if you accept everything they benefit from increasing minimum wage, democrats say benefit from, the cbo said a million people potentially not able to get a job because the labor force then shrinks. the minimum wage is not a life-style wage. it's a starting point. what happens you will get reduction in the jobs created at a minimum wage that is 40% more under this plan than it is today >> 500 by the way. now a million. >> it was average 500,000. >> more people benefit. martha: cbo figures they pour in the numbers they're given, right? they sort them out. they figure out what the impact is going to be. in some cases they poured in the numbers and things were more expensive they thought for example, like overall health care package. i look at it from, if you're a small businessman in this country or small businesswoman, right? you've got this sort of double-whammy, right? you have the possibility of increased health coverage costs for your employees, if you have over 50 employees. then you've also got the
6:35 am
increase in the minimum wage. what would be your inclination? mine would be, let's just stay, as tight as we can as few employees we can, get the greatest productivity we can and not increase our payroll. >> historically, it is not caused that kind of loss of jobs. in terms, what you said about the other cbo report where conservatives keep making argument means job loss. that is not what cbo said. the head of cbo literally said on our not that what happens. people only holding on to jobs because of health care will be leaving jobs -- let me finish my sentence. martha: go ahead. >> that creates jobs openings. that creates jobs. opposite what you're arguing. martha: we made very clear we're not talking about those jobs, we're talking about loss of hours, that equates to the number of jobs. >> what is the other part, what is the other part though of that equation? sure some people may say to get a subsidy i'll work less hours because it is worth it to me to
6:36 am
have someone else pay for my health care. >> that is not -- >> excuse me. employers who are now mandated to give health insurance, if they have a certain amount of workers who are more than full-time workers are going to then decide, they're going to cut those hours involuntary littlely for that worker. worker who has a full-time job they like will not have the job and keep it because their employer gets to decide they get to work a part-time job why they're delaying mandate again. >> if more people get on exchanges and in fact leave their employer health insurance, that is actually very good. that lowers price for everybody. that is true. that is the way that works. >> forks them into a health exchange they do not want. >> that is not true. >> employers are incentivized to do that. which is whole counter productive aspect of this -- >> choices hurt more people -- >> give more people more choices on exchanges. that is what they want. martha: a line of thinking if you go to $8.25, you're sticking with inflation increase and that would not cut into additional hiring because it doesn't raise
6:37 am
the cost enough for employers to be dissuade from hiring. is that a better solution, alan. >> every time they raise minimum wage tie to it inflation. martha: if you tie it to inflation it wouldn't go 10.10. >> there are legitimate reforms to minimum wage. 20 states have higher minimum wage than federal level. cost of living changes state by state. of course index it to some degree of inflation because things get more expensive but wage so go up but arbitrarily decide from the president of the united states what a fair market rate for minimum wage job is diculous. shows they really view health insurance and minimum wage as wealth redistribution policies. they're not -- >> they're not arbitrarily deciding. congress is the one who makes laws. he does not do this by executive fiat. >> i'm sure he would like to. martha: thanks, guys. bill: about 22 minutes now best hour. president obama heading to mexico city where he will meet with leaders from mexico and

6:39 am
on a north american basis and say let's move forward. >> reporter: still while president obama and prime minister harper will have informal talks, there are no plans for a formal one-on-one meeting between the two, bill. bill: all right, wendell, what about trade? >> reporter: one of the things the leaders will talk about here is the trans-pacific partnership which would link countries around the pacific rim in a free trade area considerably bigger than nafta but senate majority leader harry reid says he will not hold a vote on legislation needed to pass that before this year's election. big labor feels u.s. workers got the short end of the stick on nafta which is now 20 years old. the white house is downplaying but not denying differences it has on big labor on this. >> it is a useful exercise when reporting on this discussion and debate to make sure that your readers are aware of the fact that it was ever --
6:40 am
the differing opinions on these matters are not new and the fact there are differing opinions within both parties is not new. >> reporter: one white house official here told me they learned a lot from nafta how to protect u.s. workers but they're having a hard time convincing some lawmakers and big labor of that. bill? bill: wendell. wendell goler traveling with the president in mexico. thank you, sir. martha: the markets opened up about 10 minutes ago. let's take a look how the trading is going so far. not a whole lot of action this morning about up three and change as we get things moving on this wednesday. investors likely to react as they sort the numbers to the new housing ones came out. 16% decline in new home construction in january. though likely due to a large part to the terrifically horrible weather we had in january. it is the biggest fall since

>> control of the senate. that legislative agenda put aside politics, if you lose control of senate, it would be pretty hard to get that agenda, through, wouldn't it. >> he will not, the democratic party will not lose control of senate in our view and that is precisely because of policies he and democrats support that are focused on expanding on he said more than that. jay carney expressing confidence the midterms will not have much of an effect on the second term agenda of president obama. karl rove is here to react to that live in austin, texas. hi, karl, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. bill: carney kind of doubled down too in that comment. he said obamacare will actually help democrats in november, broadly speaking. how do you see it? >> well this is what white houses have to say and when you face a second midterm election. i know i went through that myself. you have to go out there and sort of raise the spirits. you can't go out there and say we'll get our posteriors handed to us. you have to talk optimistically
6:46 am
but let's go through what he said. he said they would keep the senate because of popularity of the president's policies. look, his policies, the stimulus bill, the deficits, the spending, obamacare, all of these are unpopular. for example, on obamacare, it is not only upside down, more people dislike the law than like the law but energy is with the opponents. 34% strongly oppose the law. only 21% support it. in addition to that the president's job approval is low. it is about 43.2% in the real "l clear politics" average. that is about where it was in 2010 when the democrats got shellacked. then the territory in the senate this year is not helpful for democrats. there are seven democrats seats up in states that mitt romney won by between 2 and 20 some odd point. in fact in three of those seats, west virginia, south dakota, montana, the democratic incumbent pulled a rip cord and democrats are locked in battle in alaska, arkansas, louisiana, north carolina. so the republicans could take
6:47 am
senate by simply taking states mitt romney won. here is the big issue not too many people paid attention to. the purple state vulnerability. we have to remember 2010, in 2010, the republicans took five of the six seats that they won in purple states, wisconsin, illinois, pennsylvania, ohio and florida. states that barack obama had won in 2008. and yet in 2010 they elected republican senators. same thing could happen in states like new hampshire, michigan and minnesota. bill: i see the point you're making there. 21 of 36 seats defended by democrats. republicans need six to flip it. okay, when it comes to money, dick durbin from illinois said we can't keep with up with them. david axelrod said, this is serious threat, the threat in the senate. would-be hoof democratic activists and donors whipped up by 2016 to shift the focus or may look at in november a republican senate to go along with the house. that from "the new york times" on february 17.
6:48 am
let's just play this role out here, okay, karl? if republicans take control of the senate, what happens to the second term agenda? what does the president get done in his final two years? go. >> yeah. first of all it reins in a lot of what he wants to do that doesn't have bipartisan support. it subject as lot of these things he is doing to congressional oversight, not only from the house but from the senate. the senate has greater oversight authority in essence because they have to affirm, they have to consent and agree to any of the president's nominees for these important jobs in the government. so if he, if somebody in treasury department leaves their job, has to have new assistant secretary, gives them a chance to ask tough questions of treasury department. if sebelius leaves after the election and gives us a chance to ask tough questions about the affordable care act, so forth. it really does subject to oversight. but the president -- bill: you say your hand is weakened you about what would he seek to accomplish in that two
6:49 am
years? would it be bill clinton redux? what do you see possible, karl? >> you touched on it. he could say, you know what? i'm not going to get these very liberal ideas i've been pushing. so what i am going to do, i will try to find common ground between republicans and democrats on certain things and see if we can't move forward. i thought it was interesting the other day, some republican members of the senate, look he suggest ad new vehicle for retirement savings. fine, we're happy to have a discussion with him about how we can encourage more savings in america and particularly how we allow people to save more for their retirement. there might be some constructive areas. interestingly enough it depends on the president's mind set. if the president's mind set, by god i will hunger down in the white house and fight it out next two years through executive orders it will not be constructive time. on the other hand if he says, you know what? i move to the center to get things done he might actually get some things done. bill: that is to be determined too. >> to be determined.
6:50 am
bill: the number in november will be what everybody watches. enjoy austin. karl rove. >> i will. thank you, bill. martha: all right. let's go back to the scene now in ukraine after violent clashes leave at least 26 people dead in the streets of kiev. the latest coming up in a live report just ahead. so ally bank has a raise your rate cd that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that?

6:56 am
change in climate is going to make them more intense. >> reporter: republicans agree there has always been drought in california. much of the state is a desert of a all. republicans maintain there are two droughts. one nauert, the other man made. under pressure environmentalists the state diverted millions of gallons every year from the system of reservoirs from the ocean to preserve the delta smelt fish and salmon that infuriated republican members who represent agricultural regions. >> this is more of the same from these folks. they're grasping at straws. they're grasping at global warming. it is ludicrous. this is another little ant tick of theirs to push their climate change and global warming agenda in washington. >> obviously they are, as i said before, looking for some sort of a political wedge issue that they can attach themselves to in hopes that will move voters in their direction and get them not thinking about issues like obamacare. but what is happening in california today is awful, it is
6:57 am
tragic. >> reporter: some crittakes maintain there is political motivation behind this change. that it basically takes attention away from obamacare. martha? martha: all right. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. when you have diabetes like i do, you want a way to help minimize blood sugar spikes. support heart health. and your immune system. now there's new glucerna advance with three benefits in one.

so they are still out. what is happening in terms of if this is going to come to a peaceful resolution is what is causing tension. >> you had a few dozen killed overnight. a mix of protesters and police killed. you have strong reaction from european countries and the white house. do they listen? >> reporter: the protesters have been waiting for the west and the eu to talk about sanctions. that will press the government that is in power and some of the wealthy people that have interest in the west, they feel that will push them.

7:08 am
now they are their own insurance. he was saying that was a good thing. he was talking about impact of the minimum wage increase and that would lead to job loss >> they are saying if you raise the minimum wage by 40% over time the economy will be better. but when he and his party come out saying we had to destroy the jobs in order to create jobs whether it is on obamacare or minimum wage that is a very difficult sell to take to an electric that is quite unsure already. >> sign up for chris's news letter on the fox homepage. >> 2014 needs to be about more
7:09 am
than obamacare if the republicans want to win. >> we have to tell them what we would do not to bump the debt ceiling and also what we would do to replace obamacare. >> governor scott walker there. he said americans are hungry for vision leaders and want someone who talks in simple terms they can relate to. >> police in missouri saying a man is being held on suspicious murder in the abduction of a 10-year-old girl. haley owens was kidnapped yesterday afternoon. he didn't address the reports concerning the discovery of girl's body.

7:16 am
they thought they on a closer road to the west. >> people want an economic system, align with the west, and they have no availability to get it done because they are dependent on their leadership and they are dependent on russia because they are dependent on their energy and they have in debt they will never pay back. russia is willing to bail them out. we're not going to. germany isn't going to. they need natural gas from russia. and russia has shown they will leave up the switch and leave them shivering in the dark. >> putin wants to return to the days of old. he would love to take advantage of any opportunity to gobble any
7:17 am
of these companies back into the fold of russia. so this is playing out as he would like. >> you bet. putin has been shoveling obama all over the world. he has had this successful olympics. they are probably bribing the corrupt leaders of ukraine with swe swe sweet things. and the poor people are on the streets protesting. >> america is helping to create what made ukraine free during the regan organization.

7:19 am
and they need energy independence. what is president obama doing about fracking and energy independence? he is running in the other direction so i think it is unlikely the united states steps in to help. >> where does this go? you made a strong contrast. you think about what regan would do to stand up for this country who was freed under his watch and others and say we will not stand for is. we will help to support and these companies to get their heels in the ukraine and build a stronger economy. >> i think the president will draw a couple red lines. but at the end of the day, unles someone is willing to step up with money and energy, you crane is at play.

7:44 am
result? >> i think we went straight to the toilet under the bush year. she spent a lot of time in the middle east. this is as an another piece that is important to note is that it wasn't just shock and bomb it out and send troops in. she went to targeted forces. and that is part of the package. she was strong in terms of economics. >> you are talking in general terms. which specific countries you feel we are more respect from as a result of the obama presidency and the hilary clinton secretary of state tenure. and ken, what do you think about it? >> she couldn't answer because i don't think she has names. emily is well-versed in hilary clinton and this administration and what they have done. if you look at syria, or iran, let's look at two big ones in
7:45 am
the middle east. there is no added respect. in fact i would say we have lost respect. especially when it comes to moving an agenda forward on human rights and she took this job. obama was a bitter rival buzz because it kept her relevant. history shows if you run for president and lose the campaign or nomination, you are on the ash steep of history to use a phrase from regan. this job kept her relevant. she took it for self-presserivation not for leadership. >> she will be asked that, emily, if she runs for president. you can picture the debate playing out in terms of where the successes are. ken pointed to syria and i think
7:46 am
of iraq and afghanistan as those situati situations are being handled and those countries are falling apart. >> there is no question there are difficult questions all around. but the iran sanctions we have are a result of the recommendation she put together. have laden she was in in the room and recommended ground troops. and human rights, it was secretary clinton that brought the rights of women to the forefront including lbgt and that helps overall economically. >> it does in theory. but i question, when you look at africa, and you look at countries where women would benefit from that economic

7:48 am
end with you. getting word the president will talk about the violence and deaths in ukraine. the president is going to mexico city and john kerry is in paris and he talked about what the united states is urging ukraine tr trooto do. >> we would like them to bring people together, find the measure of compromise and put the interest of the people of ukraine outfront. >> development throughout the day on this. 23 dead. hundreds were injured. the protests continued to camp out in the center of the town. we execed expect leader from
