outovernight. riot police using water cannons and tear gas among other things. two dozen are dead, hundreds and hundreds are injured today. we have a live report. ambassador bolton will join news a short bit on this topic. first right now. breaking news on today's top headlines and brand new stories you will see here first. jon: tragic case of a missing 10-year-old. a man charged in relation to an amber alert issued yesterday. the latest details ahead. thieves smash right through the front of a store taking off with just one thing. you will be shocked with what they're after. plus john travolta opens up as he reaches a new milestone, reflecting life as he hits the big six-oh. it is all "happening now." jenna: we start off today with a new report on the impact of raising of the minimum wage.
8:01 am
hello, everybody, great to see you. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. the president already signed an executive order boosting the minimum wage to more than $10 an hour for federal contract workers of the as he urges congress do the same with all contract workers. some are urging with the non-partisan congressional budget office saying the hike could cost jobs. half a million or a million in the worst circumstance but the cbo found it could lift 900,000 folks out of poverty. joining us charlie hirt, columnist at "the washington times" and lynn sweet, washington bureau chief for "the chicago sun-times." the math, lynn, is a little bit hard to understand. you have to be great to lift almost a million folks out of poverty but the cbo says worst-case scenario this could also bring a loss of a million jobs. so how do you balance those go out? >> well you know, social policy is often very difficult. on that economist, i'm not challenging the findings of the report but this is a balancing
8:02 am
of interests. now there has been some talk to try and offer relief for people on the entry-level part of the equation. young students, maybe not have, give them a break on withholding wages or something like that. so there might be some solutions to help truly those in, the segment that is we're talking about who may be young, first-time job holders. jon: charlie, you say that this is all a cynical trick in your view. explain your thinking there. >> yeah, it is all politics, jon. what the democrats are trying to do and president is trying to do divert attention from a flailing economic recovery and absolute disasterous rollout of his health care plan and, what they're trying to do is sort of convince voters that they do care about poor people but, they also know that raising the minimum wage does very little to help those that are making minimum wage. it takes them from maybe just below the line of poverty, that the government has set to just
8:03 am
above the line of poverty but it does kill jobs and kills most important jobs for people trying to get into the labor force, the forest of workers. and the youngest of workers who are just getting out of college or just getting out of high school and looking for their first job. jon: i remember, lynn, a discussion i had with a long-time buddy of mine. he used to be in the burger business in wyoming. you sell a hamburger at a fast-food place, you'ring pennies on burger. now comes the federal government says you have to raise wages everybody on your staff, 50 cents, 75 cents, a buck an hour. all of sudden you have to sell hundreds maybe thousands more burgers to cover your labor cost. it was a real problem for him. it raises the question about the sensibility of a national minimum wage in the first place. costs a lot more to live in a place like new york than it does in wyoming. >> that's why states do and, many have, set a minimum wage
8:04 am
higher than the national number which is really just been a floor, not a ceiling. i just want to quickly point out that, you know, there's a lot of interests here and that maybe you and i should not have to pay for food stamps for people who don't make enough money to have a, that living wage to buy all their food because they make so little. or might use emergency room services, you know, instead of signing up for, well now, we're in a new era with obamacare, not to open up that for the moment or who use different kind of government assistance. now there is no such thing as a free lunch for a lot of this discussion we're having. and when you look at the whole picture of people who are the working poor, you may also find that we taxpayers are paying for services because their jobs are not paying them enough either. jon: yeah. charlie you brought up obamacare in your first answer saying that you think that this whole effort to raise the minimum wage is just sort of a shineey object
8:05 am
the president is dangling out there to distract people from failures of obamacare and some other issues bedeviling the white house? >> absolutely. there is not great disagreement among economists, democrats and republicans liberal and conservative, mainstream economists all agree raising the mon minimum wage does very little to help people but does an awful lot to hurt people. if you're one of those 500,000 people who are suddenly not going to have a job, after you raise this, this, the minimum wage as predicted by cbo, that's a terrible, terrible impact on those people. and so, and democrats understand this. and that's why, as soon as they get into trouble, heading into election year, they're in deep, deep trouble, you have people bailing from congress at highest levels because they know that, in the house they're not going to win it back. in the senate, they very well may lose it. and so what do they do? they go to the cheap, cynical ploy and pure politics, jon.
8:06 am
jon: there are some people, lynn, who try to raise a family on minimum wage but that is not really what it is designed for, is it? most minimum wage workers, most of them are teenage kids, college kids, high schoolkids trying to make ends meet during the summers. >> well, yes and no. i can't pull that number out for you right now, which is why there have been some talk about i have accidenting some withholding wage relief, that might be, that is an idea kicking out there for those truly new entrants in the workforces but you know there is a reason that the national restaurant association campaigns against the minimum wage. okay. they, the restaurant business is all just new entrants or, students on working on the side. okay. there's a reason for that and that is that the economy of, architecture of the restaurant business is dependent on these low-wage workers. i think federal government is just saying let's have a national minimum so that people
8:07 am
can make a minimum amount. and it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be taken as necessarily trying to get people out of the workforce who are these new entrants. i don't think that is why the national restaurant association is fighting this so hard. jon: but cbo is saying if you do raise the number, you are going to kill some jobs in this country. >> yes. jon: that is the fact. lynn sweet, charlie hirt. thank you both. >> thank you so much. jenna: back to fox news alert on what is going on right now in ukraine. at least 26 killed, hundreds more injured and protesters are not giving up in the city of key eve despite fiery battles breaking out between them and riot police trying to clear them out. it is the worst violence in ukraine since antigovernment demonstrations began in november. amy kellogg is live from moscow with more. amy? >> reporter: jenna, and the bloodiest day in ukraine since world war ii i heard someone say now. the white house is urging the ukrainian government to pull those riot police back from
8:08 am
independence square to call a truce and to reopen talks with the opposition. of course talks have started and stopped many times before. also, the white house is saying it wishes russia would do more to try to help diffuse the tension. the polish foreign minister is on his way to kiev on behalf of the european union and the white house is in consultation with the european union about which individuals in the government of ukraine should be held accountable for the violence here. they could be sanctioned. brussels, there will be a meeting in brussels tomorrow. now many people have said that broad sanctions on ukraine at this point would only play into russia's camp in the standoff but targeted ones might help. also lots of people saying at this point words won't do anything. the violence has gone too far with those 26 killed in the last 24 hours of violence. the russian news agency is saying that 800 people have been wounded and they claim 83 police officers are in the hospital with gunshot wounds of some
8:09 am
sort. meanwhile the violence has spread to other cities and people worry about rumors of other activity and agitation, possibly yet to come. >> potentially more hot spots in ukraine, and i don't think that the west, whether the european union or, or the united states can do anything at this point. russia can. just how russia would involve, just how, just what russia's contribution to the developing ukraine will be is very hard to tell. >> reporter: jenna, obviously that's all sounding quite ominous and hopeless at this point but what russia has done today is it said it is freezing that aid that's been handed to ukraine in tranches, and sort of bundles, they're stopping that as long as this violence continues. some people suggest that the
8:10 am
reason russia opened up the pipelines on monday as it did to give more money to ukraine is sending a signal to ukraine to deal with the protesters. this is going in a very bad direction. russia stopping its aid to ukraine. jenna. jenna: amy, thank you. interesting to hear from a scholar there said russia can do some things but the united states and europe can not. we'll ask ambassador john bolton will join us and we'll ask him to weigh in on the bigger picture here and what can the united states do, if anything, to get involved. jon: sad and frightening situation there. right now california's is facing its most severe drought emergency in decades, this after three consecutive years of below-normal rainfall and the disaster is now ramping up a political fight with the president and democrats blaming climate change. the gop though generally not convinced with some republicans reason charging that the federal environmental regulations actually are making things
8:11 am
worse. doug mckelway is live in washington with more on that. doug, i guess there are members of the california delegation who want hearings on this? >> reporter: that's right, jon, energy and commerce committee ranking member henryings waxman and nancy pelosi and 35 members of the california congressional delegation sent a letter to chairman fred upton urging holed a hearing on connection between climate change and drought in the west. science advisor john holdren said no one weather phenomenon is caused by climate change. but when it comes to the white house, democrats and president are preaching a very different message. >> droughts have been part part of the west since before anyone was around. water politics in california always been complicated. but scientific evidence is showing that change in climate will make them more intense. >> reporter: republicans believe there are two droughts in california, one which is natural. that is frequent occurrence.
8:12 am
why our parents and grandparents generation built a system of reservoirs and canals to store water to make california's arid land more first till. there is another drought, man made one they say. under environmental pressure the state diverted millions of gallons of freshwater in the ocean to preserve the delta smelt fish and salmon. republicans say that diversion created tremendous heartship for those in california's agricultural heartland. >> what they don't like to talk about three years ago we had one of the wettest years in the last 30 years. but we let all that water run out to the ocean. in fact even last year when we were a little bit below average, we did have flood runoff we would have been okay if they had cocked that water. >> reporter: no new water storage facilities have been built in california last 30 years even while the population doubled over that time, jon. jon: critics main taken there is political motivation behind the climate change push? >> reporter: critics maintain
8:13 am
this intense focus on the drought and attempt to link it to climate change serves as diversion from obamacare's troubles and could be issue to re-energize democratic voters in the upcoming midterm elections. jon? jon: doug mckelway in washington. doug, thank you. jenna: disturbing development on an amber alert issued yesterday. police say 10-year-old hailey owens was snatched off the street of missouri. a man is unarrest. we have details ahead. twice in one week, severe turbulence in the skies. nine people injured on an international flight. details on the frightening ordeal for passengers and crew coming up.

school coach in springfield has been arrested on first-degree murder charges. there is a news conference coming up. today a pennsylvania couple could be sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for third-degree murder. their eight-month-old sign died after they tried to treat him with faith healing. they were required to seek medical attention for him as part of their probation following another son's death from untreated pneumonia. pretrial hearing in the oscar pistorius murder case. the high court in south africa delaying a decision on broadcasting the murder trial which is to begin in early march the legal team for the olympic runner does not want cameras in the courtroom. pistorius as you know, charged with premeditated murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend on valentine's day last year. jenna: will be a big story when that starts. for the second time this week a flight hit by severe turbulence. several passengers were taken off the plane on stretchers after a flight from san francisco to hong kong. william la jeunesse with the details from los angeles.
8:18 am
>> reporter: well, jenna, we've all felt a little shaking in the sky. sometimes on takeoff or landing no big deal but this came entirely without warning. it lasted a remarkable two minutes. two crews, six passengers hospitalized. on a cafe pacific 747 when the flight hit a severe pocket of turbulence as the plane passed over japan with six hours left in a 14-hour flight. most likely most 300 board were asleep when suddenly the plane began to shudder for two minutes with one passenger describing the ride as more intense than a roller-coaster. >> translator: people sat in the middle hit ceiling and storage partments. the person in front of me hit the storage partment so hard the it cracked and bags inside fell out. >> reporter: turbulence is the leading cause of injuries to passengers and flight attendants with roughly 60 a year. three fatalities over the past
8:19 am
decade. two incidents occurred at or above 30,000 feet. it is not necessarily at takeoff or landing. what make turbulence so dangerous it typically can not be seen even by radar. can happen when the skies are blue, jet streams, mountains or thunderstorms or warm front. earlier this week as you said, jenna,, turbulence injured five on a flight from denver to billings. most injuries were minor. recently a flight attendant was securing galley and lifted in the air and body slammed on her back. hospitalized for a week. most of us can avoid it to wear the seatbelt even when the light is off. jenna: do you do that, william? especially after two days of doing these stories? are you nervous flier or a cautious flier? >> reporter: i'm not nervous but after doing these stories i admit on a longer haul flight i will definitely continue to wear my seatbelt. jenna: sound like good advice. william, thank you. jon: nervous flier. jenna: just trying, looking for
8:20 am
some comradery there but no. william is a tough guy. i should have known. seatbelt on. extra prayers while flying. jon: there you go. smash-and-grab caught on camera. see the car crashing right through the front doors of a store. what these guys were so desperate to get. and days of rage in a former soviet bloc nation. at least 26 people are dead after the latest violence in ukraine. ambassador john bolton is with us to share his thoughts on the chaos and the role of the united states. he is next.
8:24 am
in kiev the worst in that country since antigovernment protests started in november the city of kiev is smoldering. at least 26 killed, hundreds more injured. riot police are taking on protesters firing tear gas and water cannons. the white house is condemning the violence urging the government in the ukraine to show restraint. russia is accusing washington of meddling in ukraine's affairs, something interesting and perhaps ironic which we'll get into in just a moment. let's bring in ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor. "wall street journal" put what we're watching in ukraine in these terms, the struggle has become the most dramatic conflict between the united states and europe on one side and mr. putin and the kremlin on the other. do you believe this is the most dramatic conflict between two sides since soviet days? not since soviet days. when russia invaded georgia in 2008 and used military force to
8:25 am
separate two provinces away from that country the united states under bush essentially did nothing. presidential candidate barack obama at time called on russia and georgia to exercise restraint. which tells putin and russia exactly what the united states will do here. ukraine is more strategic prize and key strategic interest between the united states and russia. jenna: what is russia's interest here? >> vladmir putin thought some years back he thought the breakup of soviet union was greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. i think it is clear from his actions putin wants to recreate russian hegemony within the former soviet union. ukraine is large country, with huge natural resources. russia's oil and gas pipelines to the west go through ukraine. if he re-establishes russian influence in ukraine you bet he will try the same with the rest of the former republics. >> one of the ways he is doing that is a lifeline bailout of
8:26 am
$15 billion and one of the things we heard from amy kellogg's report earlier from a scholar based in moscow that the european union and united states can not compete with that. it is interesting word compete. ben rhodes, the deputy national security advisor for the president just said this on air force one that the united states is not in competition with russia in the future of the ukraine. it is up to the people. so are we in competition with ukraine? should we go to bat over the $15 billion or can we not compete? >> here is rare example of truth out of the white house. we're not competing with russia over the future of ukraine and that is mistake. the russians accuse us as your piece indicated interfering with ukraine internal affairs. unfortunately we're not interfering in ukraine's internal affairs but russians are. the financial lifeline is very important. i don't believe yanukovych would unleash the police violence unless he had political support from moscow. the momentum here unfortunately
8:27 am
is all in one direction. jenna: interesting to hear you say that because 10 days ago you wrote a piece where you were asking the question whether or not it is too late for to us get involved. what do you think? >> i'm afraid it may be and i think this violence represents a crossing of the rubicon. it is very hard to see how the sides pull back and find reconciliation. not impossible. but both the obama administration and the europeans are considering exactly the wrong response now. they're talking about imposing sanctions on ukraine and yet the theory was, more ukrainian integration with the west would pull it away from russia. sanctions obviously will drive ukraine into the arms of russia. jenna: why not sanctions on russia? >> i think that is where the source of the problem is. if we want to pull ukraine away we have to be prepared to compete with russians in terms of economic assistance and we've got to be telling putin in no uncertain terms, keep your hands off. jenna: and what if he doesn't? let's say we say that. what is the threat? because there is a threat there if we said something like that.
8:28 am
>> i think that's why it may be too late. i think the west as a whole made a big mistake in 2008 when we didn't bring ukraine into nato. jenna: interesting you say that. you point out this is mistake made by different administrations by different political persuasions. what is going on in the way we view this part of the world, our leaders are viewing this part of the world that you think we have wrong? >> i think we're not defending american interests in a clear enough way. i think nato decision in 2008 to leave a gap between nato's eastern border if you will and russia's western border created a vacuum in ukraine that putin is now taking advantage of. so this has been accumulate the series of errors. i think nonetheless, because, because of ukraine's importance we can't simply walk away. and yet that is pretty much what the white house has done. jenna: just real quick here, if this goes the way of russia, the protesters go away, they use immense amount of violence out on the streets, what did we lose? >> i think we lost ukraine from
8:29 am
becoming integrated with the west. we lost strategic space. that would be military alliance, between ukraine and u.s. bringing them back to the borders of eastern europe. we have given a lesson to former soviet republics we'll not do anything if putin decides to re-establish russian control. that is huge loss for the west as a whole. jenna: ambassador bolton, good to have you. thank you so much. jon? jon: as critics blast the president's increased reliance on executive orders, one political analyst says, get used to it. we may be witnessing a fundamental transformation of presidential power. "wall street journal's" jerry seib explains his thinking on that. plus two american security contractors, former navy seals, found dead on board the america alabama. the ship made famous when somali hijacked it and held captain phillips and its crew captive. the latest details in a live

jon: still to come this hour, new reaction to president obama's increased use of his executive authority. we'll talk with one analyst who says presidential power is changing in lasting ways in this country. a smash-and-grab caught on camera. the damage, about $5000. we'll tell you what these guys were so desperate to get. john travolta opens up about the worst thing he says that
8:34 am
ever happened to him, the death of his son. jenna: now to a fox news alert and tragedy on the ship made famous in the movie "captain phillips" as two americans are found dead aboard the maersk alabama. peter doocey is following the story live from washington. peter? >> reporter: jenna, we know midday on the 17th, two days ago, the maersk alabama pulled into port victoria on the seychelles in indian ocean east of the horn of africa, one day later, yesterday, the afternoon of the 18th, these two american security contractors were found dead in the same state room. a spokesman for maersk don't have any indication how these contractors died by the maersk alabama is now at anchor and holding while local authorities investigate. these two former navy seals were working for the virginia beach-based trident group. we reached out to trident for details what services they are
8:35 am
providing the maersk alabama. their website advertises, antipiracy and maritime security. specifically armed security and consulting for the world's largest shipping companies. trident has been around for 14 years and was founded by seals and senior naval surface wear fair officers and the ship these two trident contractors died on was famously boarded by somali pirates in april 2009, almost five years ago. those pirates held the maersk alabama captain, richard phillips for ransom before navy seals killed several who is tank takers and saved captain phillips life. following the phillips saga the maersk alabama remained in service. it is 500 feet long and 08 feet long. we're told the families of contractors who died have been notified. jenna? jenna: a lot more to the story. peter, thank you. jon: the obama administration is set to roll out a new
8:36 am
controversial fcc program asking information from radio and tv stations and newspapers how they cover news and who decides what gets covered. shannon bream live in washington. shannon, how is this program supposed to work? >> reporter: jon, the fcc will send representatives into tv and radio stations into various markets and ask them a whole lot of questions about things, what stories they do, how they decide the topics, who they decide to interview and what gets cut and how many time they spend on the environment and politics. the stated purpose of the study is this, quote, ascertain the process which stories are selected, station priorities, content, production quality and population served, perceived station bias, perceived percent of news dedicated to each of the eight since. those are key topics that the fcc think should be covered and perceived responsiveness to underserved populations. jon, they say making sure each local community is getting served in the way it is specifically requires. jon: there are a lot of people pretty worried about this study.
8:37 am
why? >> reporter: news of the study was enough to raise alarm for number of gop house members, so much sew they sent a letter to the chairman of fcc that the project showed a startling disregard for the bedrock constitutional principles that prevent government intrusion into the press. important to note that the fcc is the same agency that controls the licenses of these stations that they're going to sudden did i. here is what former fcc commissioner robert mcdowell told me about that situation. >> questions what is the quid pro quo, how much government coercion might there be with all of this? is the government trying to ultimately dictate speech and dictate how journalists are supposed to do their jobs in it doesn't matter what your political stripe might be, that is just not a good idea especially when you have such a competitive communications landscape. >> reporter: the study is scheduled to kick off first in columbia, south carolina, but stations there said they still haven't heard anything about it directly from the fcc. jon? jon: that is an interesting use of government inspection.
8:38 am
shannon bream. >> reporter: taxpayer dollars. jon: thanks. jenna: with more politics now as republicans on capitol hill push back on the president's use of executive powers "the wall street journal"'s jerry seib tackled issue in his capital column this week. much is made about the problems president obama has had working traditional method working with congress to address laws and programs. he resolved to work around congress. commonly assumed this represents a temporary state of affairs. seib goes on to write, but perhaps this is the new normal, not a temporary aberration. perhaps what we think of as presidential power is changing in fundamental and lasting ways. jerry seib is executive washington editor of "the wall street journal" and joins us now. it is a very interesting column, jerry. really enjoyed reading it. how do you think we're witnessing a change in really fundamental ways to presidential
8:39 am
power? >> this is about a decline in presidential power and need for this white house and maybe successive white houses to deal with that reality. the fact is you have political paralysis in washington and that sops things from happening to a large extent through the traditional way. the president proposes, congress disposes, president signs, money gets spent. you have political paralysis but you have a decline of fiscal resources. there just isn't money there to do traditional government programs presidents like to propose. so that sort of goes by the board. you have a rise of a feeling around the country, other institutions local government, state government, private corporations, foundations may be better equipped to solve some of these problems plus the new factor which is the ability of a white house to use social media to mobilize millions of people, millions of dollars in some cases by going around, not just congress but traditional media channels. so the combination of all these things suggest that maybe there is a different way for a president to have some impact than the traditional ways of just going through congress and
8:40 am
enacting programs and spending a lot of taxpayer dollars. jenna: a lot there in that bucket. i will pick out a few points, gerry. do you think this transition you think we could be witnessing is specific to this administration in power at this time or do you think this transition would be happening regardless who occupied the white house? >> that is an interesting question. i guess what i posit in the column this may, these trendlines are not going to go away just at the end of the barack obama administration. i think some of these things may be permanent. certainly restriction of fiscal resources government has available will continue. tax dollars are not, revenues are not going up much more. the federal writing checks for social security, medicare, medicaid leaves less money for traditional programs so you have to find other ways around the problems. bus again, social media creates a different way to mobilize forces. i also don't think that this election that is coming up or maybe even one after that will end the basic political gridlock that washington is dealing with.
8:41 am
you have a whole combination, constellation of forces seem to pushing president, not just this one, future once, potentially in this direction as well. jenna: we're part of this great exriment which is america. i don't want to oversimplify things, jerry, we often think about things in good and bad terms. based on your thinking on this is this good for the country? that for example, state, local governments are empowered, maybe non-government groups are empowered or potentially bad for our country because there is less power potentially in the power of the president? >> there is bigger social force. there is decentralization of power and internet is creating that a lot of ways in american society. this may be one. it is an interesting question and cut as lot of different ways politically. conservatives are very upset about the use of executive powers thinking that creates an imperial presidency but there is another side of this. maybe conservatives ought to be happy about this because it suggest that is maybe the white house in the future just can't turn to traditional government programs to solve problems. maybe it needs to mobilize other
8:42 am
forces in society and that always been an idea conservatives liked. going out into civic society and using other organizations other parts of american society to solve problems, not just big government. so i think there is plenty in here for everybody to chew on. some things both side will like and dislike if this trend holds as i suggest it might. jenna: when we think about social media and reaching to outside groups and outside organizations, some would suggest the rise of the internet and society is great tool for democracy. i'm curious, jerry, do you think that is the case, is it a great tool for democracy or are you seeing bifurcation of different classes who has access to technology and who can participate and who can not? >> i think there is some bifurcation right now and but i think that goes away over time. you have to acknowledge that the internet is messy. it has cores sended -- coarsened political dialogue to some extent. one of the things obama campaign figured out it is great tool for organizing and mobilizing.
8:43 am
government has not figured out how to use it as well for its own governing purposes but think that will come as well. for example, when the white house has initiative in congress it off then uses social media to encourage people to speak up as it did, for example, when congress was really reluctant to extend the student loan program. created pressure using social media. congress went along ultimately. that is the sort of thing that the internet can allow governors to do if they have support. jenna: interesting example. jon's favorite example the petition to deport justin bieber at the white house.gov website. different shades if you will, gerri of participation. interesting to see where that's going to go. very interesting column. always a joy to talk to you. thank you very much. >> thanks, appreciate it. jon: a great way for citizens to get involved in important issues of government. hollywood taking on obamacare. what that could mean for the movies you watch. go guys caught on camera smashing a car through the front of a store. you won't believe what they were

liberalism. some thought it would be a love-fest for president obama's signature legislation. they said their members are independent mind and would not be swayed into waving pro-obama care storylines in upcoming projection. they enlisted magic rogers, mindy caleing and richard simmons in the outreach program. this is to catch the eye of young and healthy enrollees which the aca needs to. since open enrollment period ticked off, 3.3 million have enrolled on plans and state and federal exchanges but only 25% are between the ages of 18 and 34. but we'll still have to see if obamacare winds up making better comedy or drama. jon: obamacare the movie. >> i can see it. can you see it? jon: no. kate rogers. >> reporter: thank you. jenna: speaking of hollywood, john travolta opens up about what he calls the worst thing that ever happened to him. the hollywood star talks a about a family tragedy and how he got through it.

8:59 am
9:00 am
we are waiting for law-enforcement to bring us the latest information. investigators say that the little girl was snatched off the street by this man crag michael wood. he has been arrested on charges of first-degree murder. he works in the school system as well. this man has been arrested. our reporters covering the story and we will have the latest coming up in a moment. we will bring you any updates as we get them. and in the meantime, new problems with obamacare. this time over folks signing up. welcome come it's great to see you. i am generally. jon: and i am jon scott. latinos are lacking in obamacare enrollment. supporters outside of latinos is being especially helped by the law. this comes as the white house says the automated payment system for obamacare will be delayed for several months. and until that system is up and
9:01 am
running, we will not know how many people are fully enrolled. joining us now is a staff writer for "the weekly standard" and ed o'keefe, congressional reporter for "the washington post." so latinos were a group that they thought would flock to obamacare. they're not doing so. why is that? >> there are a lot of uninsured latino individuals out there. it's a great program for getting those folks insured. but the problem is there are lots of reasons as to why they have family members who may be here illegally. they are wary of giving out information especially to the federal government about this with the intimate details and i think also there is a language and cultural barrier. you also have these exchanges that are not getting anyone insurance.
9:02 am
so the combination of those things, added to the fact that when you look at who they are in the united states, younger, more mail, i think that is the least risk-averse group, young males. i have talked to small-business owners and landscapers and they say that the employees don't have an interest in buying health insurance and they would rather pay the fine. i think all of those factors contributed to the numbers you are seeing. jon: only 20% of california of those that identify themselves of this origin have investigated obamacare. so what are they going to do to try to get these numbers up? >> there are new public awareness campaigns and also i
9:03 am
california and minnesota. so we have hunches and this exact segment with these two guest just a few weeks ago. fears of outing a member of the family who is here illegally. the fact that hispanics have come into this country and they could be intimidated and the fact that the spanish language version of it had any lead miserable rollout back in december. in another part of the problem is the explanation processes difficult in spanish because insurers are not translating the details of potential plans as well as they could. we had some examples a few weeks ago of people using google translation to explain this. and so they have this in spanish
9:04 am
and they certainly appear to have them. jon: okay, michael. we had that story a couple of weeks ago. so then they translated the spanish version of the website and some of the buttons and pages that you would open up made no sense. >> yes, that is right. i know there is a local florida news affiliate went and found that answer is one word that is opposed to be the word for premium. it was actually the word for a female cousin. so you would hope that the exchange has worked out these types of things and put these things into place long before they were going to have people log on. whether it's english or spanish. not just federal but the state exchanges as well. places like california and oregon those residents are just
9:05 am
compounding each other with these problems. that's why you're seeing these low enrollment numbers. jon: and there is word that the obamacare payment system is still not ready for business. >> this is the key. the administration has been touting enrollment. so we've had so many people enroll in insurance. we are getting young invincible to pay pay for this insurance, that was the plan. if this payment program isn't going to be out for several months, that just extends the question. how are we actually going to get people insurance if they don't pay for a? and i think that a lot of this
9:06 am
eston of having the insurance company sort of bailed out by the federal government if they don't get paid enough in premiums, i mean, that is going to come up with a kick to the payment program online. jon: all right, michael warren from "the weekly standard", ed o'keefe, i owe you a question next time. thank you both. do not take care. jenna: a fox news alert. the president will come in on the violence in ukraine after he wins in mexico. that's where he's headed today. there is a north american leaders summit that he's attending and he may meet with disapproval from canadian and mexican leaders over the keystone pipeline and revelations to the topics wrote during the senate. a senior affairs correspondent is traveling internationally with the president and his live in mexico where the meetings will be held. reporter: that's right, we expect his comments in the ukraine after detox with them
9:07 am
but the focus of this is more on trade and as you say there will be disappointment. secretary kerry will make this recommendation and president obama will make a decision after that. >> this is the fifth and five exhaustive reviews, every one of them has concluded the same thing. but there is no significant impact to the environment and the alternative to this energy will increase greenhouse gas initiatives. reporter: the mexican president will ask about leaks about the
9:08 am
nsa spying on him and he was the most recent foreign leader that obama has had to apologize to. the leaders are expected to talk about a free trade agreement involving a dozen countries around the pacific rim. a zone considerably bigger than nafta. democratic leaders have made clear that this is legislation that would allow the administration to negotiate a deal without having to worry about lawmakers trying to change it. so that is up in the air as well jenna: a story to watch. thank you. jon: the republican party trying to attract more hispanic voters. but in texas, it is a much different story. a larger percentage of hispanics identifying as republicans. the gop believes that texas is a snapshot of what could be possible around the country. john is live in atlanta with a look at that. >> good afternoon to you.
9:09 am
if the republican party hopes to win back the white house, it has fixed the problem with hispanic voters and a gallup poll suggest to do that than they need to take a lesson from texas. the traditional advantage is just 19%. in that compares to 30% nationwide. so what is behind the numbers? well, outreach, respect, talking with latino leaders and voters in something that republicans and candidates do on a daily basis in texas. and it was key to george dubya bush when he took this nationwide. his nephew is running in texas and hoping to read that outreach in 2000. >> in 2000 we had a staff of bicultural surrogate speakers in the key battleground states that had hispanic communities that were making impact.
9:10 am
reporter: many are open to the message by communicating that to the hispanic community will take a lot of time and a lot of work. jon: is immigration at the heart of this? >> yes, the nephew of george bush and marco rubio say that it stops hispanics from listening to republicans, but that could get them in the front door so they could talk about the bread and butter economics. the issues that are most important. jon: john robbins. they do so much. jenna: back to springville, missouri. the press conference where law enforcement is briefing everyone about the disappearance of a little girl who disappeared yesterday. we learned that the police do have a man in custody. but we just learned now is that law enforcement believes that they found the body of little
9:11 am
haley owens. a fast-moving story developing over the last 24 hours. a reporter has been following it since the beginning. >> yes, they have said that they have found a body and they believe it could be the body of 10-year-old haley owens. and they say they have a high degree of certainty and they confirmed that they had charged craig michael wood with first-degree murder. he is a school employee at a local elementary school and he's been there since 1998. police are saying that he is not talking to them at all. he wants to know what his connection is with her. they are figuring these things out and they do say that witnesses go down the license plate number of his truck when yesterday evening he was driving up and down the street and he
9:12 am
kept looking at her playing in the yard with a neighbor friend. he stopped his car and tried to dw her to the vehicle and he jumped out and grabbed her and brought her into his truck and sped away. that is when those witnesses wrote down his description which allow police to track them down and arrest him at his home. here's what they said so far. >> we have discovered a young female body. we have a search warrant. while she has not been positively identified, we are confident that it could be our victim, haley owens. especially with this it will not be determined and one autopsy is performed. reporter: wood was arrested by mouse from where the little girl was kidnapped. he has a criminal record, but nothing more than a couple of drug-related charges.
9:13 am
they're hoping to get cooperation to find out just how this horrible thing happened to. jenna: a horrible thing in the peer-to-peer and his worst nightmare. thank you. jon: syria battles rage. we have a live report on a straight ahead. also, could the government be tracking you to your car? we will take a look at a new homeland security program that raises privacy concerns after the break okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

9:14 am
9:17 am
jenna: new concerns about your privacy. the government wants to create a national license plate. targeted to catch illegal immigrants. that is the plan. raising questions over citizens with no criminal background and how that will work. >> i feel like i'm shoveling against the tide in these things keep coming down everyday. they are going to spend this money to hire this company to take pictures in select major cities. jenna: not only law-enforcement, but these private companies. the license plates can is going
9:18 am
international document. >> this is the new federal police department and the department of homeland security. these are federal cops taking pictures of people as they drive their cars on highways. the fbi doesn't do this. you would think after the scandal with everything edward snowden reveals, this would not happen. this will enable the government to know exactly where everyone has gone by these continued and repeated photographs of where their license plates are. jenna: honestly cannot cover your license plate. and this is one of the things that one of the companies talk about. the technology replaces an old analog function. and the same thing as the guy holding his head out the window and writing his license plate
9:19 am
9:20 am
difference at all, not the selling technique. the government have electronic access to all the information in the servers of the private company. jenna: you get the feeling that you are being photographed quite often. >> they will bring your children into a world where they will never know what private he is. >> we went over the big debate in arizona. immigration and wondering if you could ask somebody the
9:21 am
citizenship status if he pulled him over with law enforcement. why would this be allowed to target illegal immigrants specifically? >> it's insane that they would want to target illegal immigrants. when they take a picture of it, they don't know to whom it is registered. so they are looking for a needle in a haystack. they will photographed every license plate in the city of chicago to find a couple of hundred individuals were illegally present. jon: we will be right back with new details coming up.
9:25 am
jon: the deadly civil war in syria rages on. it's been a year and a half president obama drew the redline for syria on the use of chemical weapons thing we would not tolerate it. >> a president without the threat of u.s. force in response and was eventually pulled back in part because the sheer matte planned to turn over some of his chemical weapons. but as you know in recent days we have seen him turn over those chemical weapons while he has used conventional weapons to continue to kill his own people.
9:26 am
there is no question that the bashar al-assad regime has blown some deadlines. >> jay carney went on to say that it is an achievement for the president to get him to admit that he did have stockpiles of chemical weapons and agreed to turn him over. honestly as we know now, the sure mark is not turning them over. one of many problems with the administration to deal with. they suggested that it is something like a new review that was going on. the white house has suggested that there is nothing new here
9:27 am
and they are constantly reviewing their options. and that includes "the washington post" to blast the idea that the president is still looking at options. he has asked for options and here is one. the president has been concerned about. jenna: police say a worker is taking charges to rape and kill a passenger in her cabin. we have the latest on this.
9:28 am

9:34 am
jenna: by mel could soon her your wallet. the commodity markets help dictate our prices for mal. why the increase? >> it's getting very expensive to feed these animals and they reduce it hurt quite a bit. because the cost to feed them has gone up dramatically over the last couple of years. probably even longer than that. so we have less cows right now producing less milk than the other part about that is that the demand for milk is not just a u.s. phenomenon anymore. the u.s. has been a major exporter of drying out.
9:35 am
9:36 am
adding that to the cold weather, prices soar. jenna: for every family out there you can't stockpile for the rest of vegetables. were they to do? salute these they? >> is coming no matter what you're going to have to adjust. some of them all producers are going to hold back on the price increases and you're going to the this and they're going to try to eat some of the cost for mal. they will see the prices go up maybe 50 to 60 cents.

9:38 am
so one of the things that the prosecutors contend with is that she bought this bleach to get rid of the body. so how does all this work they asked to see some of the diaries. >> it is clear that they have two different minds. the other issue it's going to be how will they answer this question? jon: the longer these liberations drag out, visit just to you in advance for one side or the other? >> after trying more than 100 of
9:39 am
these jury trials, it doesn't mean anything. we are reading this right now. i disagree with heather respectfully. it could be that they have different memories about what they said. one person might remember what he wants one way and another might remember it another way. >> the husband was convicted of murder and that jury was out only two hours. and so they weren't allowed to hear this.
9:40 am
there is definitely fighting in there. >> i couldn't disagree with out more. you get days and days of deliberation and there really is no rhyme or reason to get these different people to have different ways of thinking and talking that's how you get these long deliberations. >> you have accessory to murder on both of those charges, so they have a lot to go through. >> right. >> i agree. sometimes it takes a long time. and in my trials we often get a chance to talk to the jury and we hear about the way that they have been going through the
9:41 am
evidence. sometimes juries are more verbose. and it really means nothing. jon: all right, brian silver and heather hanson, thank you. we will have the verdict when it's available. jenna: high hopes for new erotic pills. patent applications and "fast and furious." what it might mean for you for your future prescription is coming on.
