camerota. the congressional budget office predicting half a million americans can lose their jobs if the minimum wage goes up. the administration said that is a myth. byron is a political correspondent with the washington examiner and fox news contributor. is this a fight that the administration wants to pick with the congressional budget office? >> no, no, no. with the election coming up and voters concern about jobs. it is a tradeoff in the proposed policy from the president raising the minimum wage. it would raise 900,000 americans out of pof are they and cause 500,000 or more to lose their job. that is a big tradeoff and the white house doesn't want to talk about it. if you listen to the advisor they think the number is term was 0 in jobs lost.

>> he has trotted off to talk about obama care and now this with the minimum wage. what does it mean for the president's a agenda. >> he is fought the republicans accusation that he is not concern about jobs. >> and a lot of americans support an increase in minimum wage. republicans will say obama care will cost jobs and raising the minimum wage can cost jobs. that it was effective for the republicans in 2010. >> is this senate proposal going forward and harry reid talked about bringing it forward. >> democrats want to raise minimum wage. a lot of people support raising

the minimum wage. and the democrats will push harder to make it happen. republicans can argue that this is bad for jobs. the cbo indicates that could be the case of 1 million jobs. and the democrats go back again and again and talk about how the americans feel in general of how americans feel about the minimum wage. and the americans seem to support that. >> this is the first ammunition that the republicans got in this fight. they could speak thereticcally this particular proposal from the president will cost jobs. this is the second time. now it is costing 5 million.

and this is costing ammunition. byron york and you have more on this. >> david asbin host of after the bell. how are you, david? >> i am great, bill. >> what are you learning that we need to know about this? >> byron touched on the tradeoff and the phrase tradeoff. my favorite economist in the world famous for saying there are no solutions in economics and only tradeoffs. here is the tradeoff. 16.5 million workers getting minimum waejs would see gamings going up and that would be great for them and they are pushing for it and it would be good for the economy and they would buy more things. but the cbo said 500,000 workers would be laid-off because the businesses couldn't afford to pay it. and bill royally is afraid of

this and i had an interview with them yesterday and this is what he had to say about the tradeoff. >> i wouldn't advocate a $20 amount minimum wage and you would cost massive job loss. and this is beneficial on aefrmg and not to every person. >> is the tradeoff worth it? i disagree with professor binder and bill o'rielly on this. 500,000 jobs lost. not only politically and economically. and we have to get the new jobs growing in this country otherwise the general economy would not do well. most of the people, overwhelmingly who get minimum wage don't live in poor families. their children for the most part. youngsters from the age of 16 up

to 25 are just starting out and making minimum wage and living with their parents in a household that is not poor. >> put the economics with the politics and draw on your experience at the wall street journal. at what point does the government say we are raising the minimum wage. are there factors that say now is the time to do it. >> it comes down to politics and i don't think it makes economic sense to hurt that many jobs even when you raise the salary of people, but politically speaking when you have middle of the rod democrats and people like bill o'reilly saying raise the minimum wage, it is hard politically to push back with that even with the best arguments that you have. >> thank you, david, we'll check you out on fox bis. david asman with us here.

fox news alert. two former navy seals were found dead at the mersk alabama that it was made famous by the movie captain phillips. peter doocy joins us from washington with more. do we know what caused the death was these two men? >> reporter: no, they were found dead 4:30 in the stateroom by a colleague who went to check on them. it is just east of the horn of africa and they will perform an autopsy to figure out exactly how the men died so suddenly and that's all we know rit now. it was docked at port victoria a day before they it were discovered. it is anchored and holding in place. as for what the contractors were

we doing? colonel ralph peters and good day to you. i was just heard that the administration wants more russian involvement in the ukraine. that is naivety veering in to idiocy. russia is involved and russia is calling the shots. the government in cove keef and ukraine is bought and bullied and blackmailed and they are puppets of putin. it is all about putin trying to re-establish the russian'm pyre. we are not sticking up for the freedom fighters and freedom demonstrators in ukraine and just like they stand up for the depstraighters in teheran. >> more from putin in a moment. ben rhoeds and national security advisor and deputy national security advisor said they are

encouraging russia to support the for thes to reduce tensions. that appears to be the right statement to make if you want to encourage people it take the temperature down. and white house will consider the use of sanctions for those responsible for the violence thus far. the president just landed in mexico. how will he address this? what will he say, colonel? >> i don't know. but again the obama administration will not stand up to putin on anything. putten screwed them on syria and iran and snowden and the eu who loves to talk it, they are talking about the sanctions on the ukraunians. so are we. if you want to save ukraina independent put safrpgzs on putun and the russians. safrpg safrpgzs -- sanctions on the ukranians push them to russia.

>> we saw putin in the winter games and you believe he is calling the shots in kiev. why then is ukraine, so critical to russia's future and critical to putin's control and power? >> first of all with russia's shrinking population it adds over 40 million more people and that matters. it puts russia back on the black sea and closer to europe and re-establishes the empire. and the problem is, you will hear a lot of nonsense in the media and russia always rules ukraine. that is not true. it is the eastern part and back ward industrial wasteland is by russia figures and support yanukovych and putin. and the west- two-thirds was part of the europe and under the

poles and we are about to a brandon them. like we did poll land and ukraine in 2014, because obama is not a leader of the free world or anything. >> there is another way it could turn out. the paratroopers take control and perhaps they go against the protestors and don't. what if it is b, colonel? >> you raised the critical question as far as the drama in the government. yanukovych called up the paratroopers to protect the property in kiev. and this is the old soviet model military. they are the toughest and best indoctorinated. if the military turns on the protestors it is game over. if elements stand up for the freedom demonstrators then freedom has a chance.

it is up to the ukraine an military. >> we are taking viewers through this in the following way. this is a chance now for the ukranian government to make a decision whether they side with moscow or the european partners and the rest of the west. colonel, thank you. >> you bet. and the stakes are so high. the white house confident that the democrats have nothing to worry about in november when it comes to the september. should they worry? >> the plan that could have government monitors looking over the shoulders of newscasters like you heather, what is upon with that? >> and then there is this.

right on the policys that matter. >> i hoped when he got rid of the beard he had political reality. clean shave is going to be the democrats who are in trouble for the senate. and look at what the president is doing, bill. he's traveling overseas. presidents regardless of party domestic agendas fail and they tend to go on foreign trips. and look at kay hagin. and udoll and mary landrieux. and they supported the stimulus and the president. and you can see a failed domestic agenda and they have to worry, they will not the take the house. that is a reality. >> but the senate. >> the senate is really in play now. kristin, what do you think of that? republicans would need a net gain of six seats to take control of the senate. do you think that that is going

to happen? >> i think most people who watch the races closely have said the september is in peril and the democrats are in peril of losing control of the senate. democrats are defending a lot more seats than the republicans are. and most republican seats are in safe states. you have a handful of democratic seats that are in red states. and that right away would make it difficult. then add in obama care, for example, and it is difficult to defend something that people are unhappy about. >> the point that carne was arguing that obama care will help the democrats. is that playing defense or is that smart politics? once you go on defense, you are kind of stuck. >> that is politically offensive position. >> that is a big point.

you start to drive the negative perception and in the beltway bubble perception is a reality and some degree around the country, if you have victory you sell victory. the democrats are facing a number of issues with the senate and they have members that are getting older and districts in those states and stronger congressional districts for republicans. and christen talked about the map in who is more safe and who is not. the states show better behavior. and not in the safe areas and especially the red states and then the senate seats are going to be in trouble as we have governorships and that translates for republicans if they provide results. >> republicans on one side and democrats on the other on the minimum wage. it could cut both ways to either

party's favor. >> democrats felt the minimum wage is an issue that works for their way and they think it is a political issue. if you look at polls, most americans support raising the minimum wage and they see it as a topic that is popular and fits with the substance of what they believe. >> david, come back to the midterms. >> on the midterms. >> dick durbin talked about we can't keep up with them and he was talking about raising money with republicans. do you get a sense that that is that much energy on the right? >> there is not that much energy on the right but a split down the left. they are competing for donor dollars. whether big or inkremental or

20.16. whatever the case may be. democrats are competing for themselves and there is a split in the democratic party between the long- term democrats and the progressive wing. republicans are being more structural about it and growing consistently and they department get themselves in debt last year. democrats have to get a 10 million bail out from duke energy. it shoes they have not raise the the money and the donors are on the sidelines and we have to follow the money in may and june and see where it shoes up. >> let's talk about the over all agenda and reminding of the 19norelection. president clinton lost the house and the senate, do you see the parallels there? >> ladies first. >> presidents typically don't do had in the second midterm election. and that is baked in the cake.

i don't know if it is if obama overreached it is the implementation of obama care went better we might have a different conversation. a lot of the criticism that he is getting and people are unhappy with him, the implementation was so flawed and so many promises that were not kept and it affected what people think of the president. he has a low approval rating and that harms the democratic candidates. >> magic number is six. thank you. christen and david, we appreciate it both of you. listen to this one coming out of the state of kansas and a new bill proposed and raising a lot of concern and give permissi permission to spank their kids hard enough to leave a mark. a child psychologist joins me

next. the state legislator said it would help to get the kids on the right track and behaving better; what do you think of that? >> we have done a lot of analysis and research with regard to spanking and a couple of things come up over and over. you are not getting short- term compliance and not getting long- term compliance and only getting aggression. and the whole idea of having someone else spank your child bad enough as you the parent. and after you know, children are afraid of being in school because of the mass shootings and sexual and physical abuse and now to introduce this, to me, this is mind boggling. >> dr. jeff, a lot of states allow corporal punishment of students in schools. 19 states in the country.

is there any one standard of what schools and administrators are allowed to do. >> for certain states, they are not allowed to leave marks because that is considered to be child abuse. i think this legislation she wants to be give control back to the parents and not so much the teachers so that the parents go don't go jail if a they put a mark on the children. >> if you spank them to bruising them you are not doing anything positive. and to love a red mark and bruising. it is imminent to hitting the child up to ten times. >> isn't that amazing. a child shouldn't be hit once and if you want your children to increase iq points and be more intelligent you take the time as a parent and model positive

behavior instead of using aggression that makes the child more aggressive in the future. >> does this make you feel better. you can't hit with a s if, head or belt they are banned. >> what ends up happening to it. even if the teachers followed the rules to the letter and not leave marks, all it takes is one teacher abusive and they take that as permission to being able to harm the child. we are not talking about the emotional harm of punishing the child in that way and using corporate punishment in front of other children. >> dr. jeff thank you so much and we should mention that the lady who proposed this is a grandmother. >> and so is the nfl out of bounds. and the log and our legal panel takes on that case. >> remember this guy from yesterday?

their employment to carry it off doubt. >> this is what police unions say. >> the nfl knowingly violates the law and places the public and law enforcement at risk and it is impairing the legal stat is of police officer. >> the nfl has a tough legal position. they said a ticket to the sporting event is a license and this is a legal argument. the minnesota volleyballingings has a lot of discretion of what you can bring. i was told in a driving reason now to a giant's game you can't bring your umbrella. >> and allowing off duty cops to have their weapon with them? >> list's point is a good one. if you required to carry it is

harder. >> it is a public safety. wouldn't you wrathser have police officers on. >> we want to figure that out. we have the statement from the nfl. >> there is an issue with people expressing concern that they are drinking and some could not. but a statement from the nfl that they directed us to today. the statute makes clear if a peace officer brings a weapon in a private establishment, the police officer cannot be arrested or charged with a crime. but the private establishment doesn't have to admit the police officer or anyone else is carrying a weapon. >> they are never off doubt. and 32 years in the history of the stadium, there is never a problem with an off duty police officer and why they came up with the policy baffles me. >> you can bring your weapon but you will not be in the stadium.
