that consolation prize. go, team usa. >> gold or bieber. no contest. martha: good luck to them today. "happening now" starts right now. thank you, eric. back on monday. >> today's top headlines and brand new stories you see here first. >> deal to end the violence in ukraine as two sides agree to lay down their arms for the second time this week. so will this truce hold up? plus exploring the link between age and happiness. what scientists say we value more as we get older. and bugs are taking over the culinary world. ick. why some say eating insects is more than a hot trend. we'll examine more popular options. it is all "happening now." [gunfire] >> we begin with a fox news alert. an apparent deal to end the
8:01 am
violence after days of bloodshed in ukraine's capitol. the president there promising key concessions to protesters who want him gone. i'm julie banderas in for jenna lee. >> i'm ed henry for jon scott. the president yanukovych agreeing to earlier elections and revamped government that strips him of some powers. political showdown, classic power struggle pitting east against west. demonstrators that want stronger ties between the european union and america fighting against the russian government backed by vladmir putin. you seen the horrific images. more coming in. some city streets completely some city streets completely . amy kellogg is following it on top of this for us. amy, what can you tell us whether this agreement, we've seen a truce couple days ago fall through. what can you tell us about this
8:02 am
agreement? >> reporter: well this truce, ed, has more teeth in it than the other one but there are lots of problems. i've been listening to many in the protest camp say that they want president yanukovych to go to jail for the deaths of so many protesters. they say it is not enough to have early elections. they simply want retribution and they are out on the square as we speak in very large numbers. now, even though the official group that is supposed to represent the protesters signed on to the deal too, so you have got some saying it is not enough. you have another bloc that actually signed on to it but there are some good signs and namely that the parliament has already voted to bring back the old constitution which limits the president's powers. the president himself needs to sign on to this as far as we understand but he would certainly have to be aware that foot-dragging on this very important point would be playing with fire. in another sign though that things are unraveling still and it may be hard to real them back in, a brigade of police officers
8:03 am
from western ukraine traveled to kiev to join the protest movement. by many accounts kiev has already lost control of western ukraine. finally, there are so many different reports on casualties but with as many as 70 protesters killed yesterday there is still, and will be for a very long time anger. many of those who decided according to medic that is treated them in the makeshift triage centers we've seen in hotels and churches said they died of wounds to the lungs and head and heart, clearly the work of snipers. many people asked, ed, why is ukraine so important for russia to keep in its camp and i think the reason quite simply having spoken to some russians is its location. not that kiev, ukraine, has all sorts of natural resources but it is between east and west and it is very important for russia not to feel that the west is right up against its border. in any event a russian analyst who is ukraine expert i spoke to just a short while ago said that he is concerned that while this
8:04 am
deal does seem to open a pathway for peace, some of the problems in ukraine seem to be cyclical. they vote governments in and they throw them out and change the constitution and it has been this way ever since ukraine got its independence. so the issue becomes, if they vote for yanukovych crony, will the people still be out in the square fighting? if they vote for someone like vitali klitschko, the opposition, will the other side take arms or get up in arms? there are a lot of questions to be answered but in the meantime this deal is moving along with papers being signed and groups signing on to it so we keep our fingers crossed that maybe things will calm down. ed? >> amy kellogg all over the story trying to help us answer the questions. we'll get back to you with any developments. >> the white house now making a pitch that obamacare sign-ups are picking up and their enrollment goals may not be far out of reach. the president playing numbers up last night to a group of democratic governors and donors,
8:05 am
telling them, quote, we already got close to four million americans signed up for exchanges. we have three million americans able to stay on their parents plan because of the law. we have close to seven million americans who have access to health care for the first time because of medicaid expansion. we have well over 10 million americans just in the first few months despite problems with healthcare.gov, in the first month 1/2 who suddenly have the financial security that in some cases they never known before. this coming one day after vice president joe biden said that hitting that enrollment goal of seven million, wasn't going to happen. listen. >> i think that although you know, initially we talked about is by the end of this period having seven million people lined up, we may not get the to seven but we'll get to five or six and that's hell of a start. and there's a drop-dead date for the first round in the beginning of march but, but there's a lot
8:06 am
going on and so i mainly came to say thanks. thanks for negotiating this. thanks for helping people negotiate it and i just see this getting better and better and better. >> let's bring in fox news contributor monica crowley and democratic consultant bass sill smical. that is a hell of a good start and good way to lower the bar. they want seven million. now they're lucky if they get five. let's do the math, two million short. there are still millions of people out there going to be uninsured, and if they don't sign up by march 31st right around the corner they get to pay a tax penalty. why punish them. >> that is a very, very important issue because there are calls to get away with the punishment aspect of this but the numbers are encouraging. the diminishing returns argument is very significant here because as there are more and more people signing up there are
8:07 am
diminishing return to this concern that maybe obamacare is not working well and people don't want it. they're starting to lose at that argument with all these sign-ups. we don't know if the people are actually paying for the plans and we're not sure if the republicans or democrats can actually use this. >> you step on a good point. we don't know a lot about the demo. we don't know who is signing up if they're young, healthy or previously insured. if they left their previous insurance to have to go for this or if they were uninsured. we'll talk to that in a second. i want to talk to my witter followers about this people are up in arms over this. they feel like they're forced to do what the government wants them to do. so i asked my twitter followers, if they planned on signing up by obamacare, 3/31, that is march, the deadline or pay penalty in tax year one? a lot of people rather pay the penalty tax. she says now it is cheaper for me and my family to pay the penalty. that is sad reality that cheaper to pay the penalty tax which was
8:08 am
supposed to be the government's way saying you don't pay by march 31st we're going to make you pay. >> the consequences may be dire so you better sign up for this. look, the seven million target number was actually an economical class done by the white house. they figured that they needed seven million to enroll in obamacare and they needed a certain mix. so they felt that 7 million number would get them acrash the threshold where the thing would be workable the first year. so many unanswered questions as we point out here of, let's say the number is accurate, a little under four million, we don't know how many paid their first premiums paying into the system. we don't know what the demographic mix is. whether the young and healthys are really enrolling to this extent. last night michelle obama said on one of the late night shows, she said, young people are knuckleheads and therefore need obamacare and signing up for it. i think they're a little desperate on that score. >> that, bass sill, contradicts
8:09 am
one study, that apparently reporting that the affordable care act actually makes health insurance more expensive for young adults simultaneously making it far less risky going without insurance. opting out of coverage paying cost that is would most financially advantageous decision for young adults. are young people better off going uninsured? >> no one is better off going uninsured. the problem that young people, they are willing to take on more risk and that's the problem. >> because we're healthy. i'm not calling myself young. how funny. >> they feel healthier, they feel stronger so they're not doing something they actually should be doing. >> right. >> we see this in a lot of other policy areas where young people are faced with decisions like this. they put it off for as long as they can. that always has been the problem. ultimately i think they will make a decision to sign up, to pay for a plan and get insured. >> remember that people, including young people, are economically rational. obamacare is economically irrational. if the choice is between paying
8:10 am
penalties which the first year is $95, or paying several hundred dollars for health coverage, kids but older people will go for lower cost choice. we don't know how many new enrollees, assuming this number is correct. >> right. >> are actually previously uninured is. there are so many who have lost their existing policies who are now eproling in obamacare to just get themselves covered again. >> here is my concern, last question to you, basil. if obama administration don't know the mix of this, how do they know it is working at all. >> that is the concern i have. how do we know it is working. we won't know for quite some time. if you're looking at elections in 2014 that is the danger. is the white house giving democrats enough ammunition, including governors he spoke to, is he giving enough ammunition to give to the constituents that it is working. i'm not suring he is doing that in the time he needs to. >> also going into november you
8:11 am
may have tens of millions people covered by their employer getting cancellation notices. >> not because of the bill. because they're trying to save money. >> thank you very much. monica crowley, great to see you as always. ed? >> thanks, julie. new details on the obama administration explanation of the deadly benghazi. republicans now accusing the cia's former deputy director of misleading lawmakers in his testimony about talking points that blame the attack on a protest over a video. four americans including ambassador christopher stevens were killed in that attack. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live in washington. tell us about the new details. >> reporter: good morning, ed. there is new push to recall michael morell to testify about his decisions, those of the administration and post-cia career choice that is closely align him with the administration and a long time aide to mrs. clinton. >> well i think it is important that mike morell, who was at the cia, be called to testify publicly before the congress. because as you know there are a number of discrepancies.
8:12 am
>> reporter: late 2012 senate intelligence committee republicans say morell testified that the talking points about this attack were sent to the white house for informational purposes, not for their input which has the power to influence and veto language. quote, no effort was made to correct the record. the acting director's testimony perpetuated the myth that the white house played no part in the drafting or editing of the talking points. >> in this case we found that there was actual coordination, which could influence then and did influence what the cia conveyed to the committees what happened. >> reporter: also in mid-november 2012 a similar scenario is alleged to have played out before the house intelligence committee when morell testified with two other intelligence officials. when asked who was responsible for the talking points, fox news was told james clapper, the chief intelligence representative of this country, said he had no idea and morell remained silent.
8:13 am
>> if your silence does create misleading impression, even if you don't have a strict legal obligation to speak up, i think as a public official, somebody entrusted and infused with the public trust you do have an obligation to speak up, to make the truth known. >> reporter: in a recent email exchange morell stood by his testimony emphasizing that no one had quote, cooked the books on the talking points. when asked to address specific allegations about his actions, morell referred fox to the cia public affairs office who gave as you lengthy statement that did not address your questions, ed. >> catherine herridge in washington. thanks for staying on top of that story. julie? >> ed, severe weather everybody, more of it, tossing tractor-trailers like toys, doing damage across the midwest and south. we'll have a live report coming up next. is a popular restaurant a political bellwether? ever been to waffle house? we're going to find out where you live, what the waffle house says about your state's preference in presidential candidates.

julie: fox weather alert. severe conditions hitting parts of u.s. and south. strong winds making a quite a mess in northern alabama tossing tractor-trailers like that one, damaging buildings as you can see and bringing down trees overnight. they are trying to determinetornadoes were the cause. in illinois state police blaming fog for major pile ups on a major highway one involving a dozen vehicles including tractor-trailers. suspected tornadoes touching down in the central part of that state. garrett tenney is live in chicago with that. high, garrett. >> reporter: julie, the crazy season across the u.s. continues in the past 24 hours we've seen tornadoes, blizzards and flooding. national weather service says four possible tornadoes touched down in central and southern
8:18 am
illinois yesterday afternoon and into the evening. take a look at this video just west of springfield. this tornado destroyed several buildings but no one was injured there. another tornado, that is just outside of st. louis, also destroyed several buildings. it even tore the roof off of this knights of columbus hall. there were people inside that building who said it sounded like a roaring freight train just before the roof disappeared >> rolled it, similar to a sardine can and rolled that roof off of and off the back ever the building. >> reporter: miraculously no one there in the building was hurt. much of the northern midwest, while we saw tornadoes in illinois, they were seeing blizzard conditions yesterday. they're expected to continue to get up to a foot of snow in parts of minnesota and northern michigan as well today. now the last few weeks we have had the subzero temperatures across all of the midwest
8:19 am
essentially but now, the last few days we have been seeing those rise in temperatures. that quickly led to all of the snow we've gotten this year flooding. that has caused major flooding problems across chicago and many other cities. you can take a look in some of these neighborhoods, completely flooded with water covering the yards, the roads. people had to be evacuated in some neighborhoods. police going door-to-door on those rafts. in the next few days forecasters say temperatures will drop again far below freezing. when that happens, that will lead to some very slippery and dangerous driving conditions. julie? julie: more of the same stuff. a big mess we've been dealing with. garrett, thank you so much. ed: thanks, julie, the president meeting with the dalai lama today. the china is not too happy about it. the two leaders meeting in the past hour. tibet's leader leading the charge for independence pro china. tibet warned white house to cancel the meeting saying it

ed: right now the crisis in ukraine raising more questions here at home about u.s. relations with russia. the government there strongly backed by vladmir putin, protesters want stronger ties with america and the west and senator john mccain saying the standoff there is another example of what he calls, white house blundering saying quote, this is the most naive president in history. being are being slaughtered in the streets of ukraine, in kiev and this thing could easily spiral out of control into a major international crisis of the first thing we need to do is impose sanctions on people in leadership positions. ukraine of course not the only foreign hot spot the white house is dealing with right now. major issues facing u.s. and obama administration when it comes to syria, iran, china, russia, north korea, afghanistan and venezuela. let's look at recent media
8:25 am
headlines from "the hill." venezuelan journalist rightly wonders why american media ignores unfolding crisis. on "daily beast." syria likely used chemical weapons in january. obama stiffs survivors of attacks. reuters on the syria crisis, kerry blames assad government of latest syria peace talks a lot to cover there. so let's bring in media watch panel. two of best in the business. judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning author, fox news contributor, kirsten powers, fox news contributor. if i can get through all of that i can get through all the hot spots. welcome ladies. good to see you. >> hi, ed. ed: kirsten, need to talk to you, someone needs to react saying this is more blundering with the obama administration. people i talk in the white house, whether syria, ukraine, what should we do about it? there is no easy solution for the u.s. they say. >> that is true, there is no easy solution. john mccain may be overboard
8:26 am
with most naive in history comment his point there is something that can be done. you can impose sanctions at least very narrow sanctions that would be targeted to certain people that wouldn't harm the overall population. so there is something that could be done and the administration taking their time on that but i think they, you know, they could probably defend that and say this is very fast-moving. but they need to take time to, you know, decide what they want to do moving forward. ed: judith, in his first comments the president this week, first comments on ukraine, he talked about consequences if they cross a line. of course there was another line in summer of 2012, a red line involving syria and at the time the president said if you cross that red line there will be enormous consequences. critics say there have not been the consequences. have the media given the president a pass on that? >> i don't think they have, ed. look at you, at the white house beating up the president by asking tough questions. that is what we're supposed to
8:27 am
be doing. i think the media have caught on for a long time to the notion that foreign policy is not this president's strong suit. i'm not sure what is but definitely not foreign policy because there has been crisis after crisis. i think what the media don't understand is that democrats are supposed to be good at diplomacy and what we haven't had is early intervention by this president in areas like the ukraine and venezuela and syria, where american diplomatic heft might have made a difference. >> judith, i want to pick up on your point right there and get kirsten to react to this as well. 2011, a different crisis but one involving libya. you here is how the president talked about america's role in the world in 2011. >> to brush aside america's responsibility as a leader, and more profoundly our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances, would have been a betrayal of who we are. some nations may be able to turn
8:28 am
a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. the united states of america is different. ed: now, kirsten, in fairness to the president not one size fits all. these crises can be different at a lot of level. american interests not the same in every country, but in the case of syria, can the case be made, james clapper and others, terrorists breeding ground. those are terrorist that is could launch attacks against israel, potentially at the u.s. has the president plundered in syria by not doing more? >> this is something we've seen a lot and something i've written about and it bothers me because i'm interested in human rights issues when presidents and george bush did it and barack obama has done it, they sort of co-op human rights issues to justify military interventions and that is really the main time thaw hear them talking about human rights problems. suddenly women in afghanistan becomes the greatest concern to everybody if you want to be in afghanistan whereas most of the time they're not paying attention to human rights
8:29 am
issues. it is not their strong suit. there are people being persecuted all over the world that are never talked about, even beyond the hot spots that you're talking about right now. ed: sure. >> so you know, i think this is something that sort of endemic to all presidents and i don't really find it as much, i think the criticism is warranted i don't think barack obama is any different than anybody else. ed: sure. judith, yesterday the white house took the military option off the table with ukraine and said sanctions are obviously looked at. some are saying, wait a second, if you sanction ukraine they will run further into the hands of president putin in russia for help. is that really in our interests? what else can we do in ukraine. >> well that's the dilemma. of course we finally did what we should have done back in the fall when i was in the ukraine looking at this impending crisis unfolding, we should have gotten if not joe biden who was the designated point person, on this, a very senior level person to work with enormously capable
8:30 am
service people on the ground in the ukraine who saw this coming and warned the administration it was coming, to get the e.u. focused on the problem of putting together an assistance package earlier that could have offset the russian bribe of $15 billion which is what russia offered and russia of course was going to argue for the use of force. so today, if anything, i think the administration can kind of claim a little victory here, belatedly because they have gotten yanukovych, the president of that country to back down. he is not going to use force. ed: judith miller, kirsten powers, we'll leave it there. two of best in the business. thank you, ladies for joining us. >> thank you. julie: a new labor push, why some startup companies in silicon valley are encouraging employees to get pregnant? politics of a popular restaurant chain. what the waffle house can reveal about your state next. ♪ [ chilen yelling ]

8:35 am
candidate mitt romney won 16 of 25 states with at least one waffle house. we thought we would bring in andrea tantaros, co-host of the the five. democrats are known as whole foods voter or like arugula. organic stuff, free range chicken. romney voters like waffles, smothered with the hash browns on there. how do republicans moving forward get beyond waffle house voters and get some whole foods voters or maybe get other restaurant chain or supermarket dealt we're not thinking of? >> i grew up in the restaurant business. ed: you know, i thought the family, yeah, but you're skinny. i have done a lot of research at waffle house. you have done more research at whole foods. because you're into the organic stuff. >> i love a good waffle house, i will admit. i think this story, to be honest is really stupid. ed: okay. >> i do. i think it is one of those observations, and i used to live inside the beltway, one of these stories that a reporter thinks up when there is really nothing
8:36 am
else to write about and thinks it cute and kitschy and talking about waffle voters and from the waffle house to the white house. ed: walmart voters we heard about. >> all kitchens will start to cook stories about my time at the waffle house. ed: get to the substance how do republicans get beyond being categorized as just getting to narrow block of voters? how do you broaden the party? >> what they need to do is reach higher than small ball issues and talk about confidence and credibility. so they're really is a credibility issue with this white house and i think with the democratic party proven by obamacare. if republicans want to win they need to prove that they can get things done and they mean what they say and they're going to do it. you know, i quote chris christie's exit polls which i found fascinating from his run in new jersey. the attribute about people love most about christie, even though he said he couldn't do something, he just made it happen, and they believed what he said. i think republicans have the
8:37 am
opportunity to prove they can do it. ed: is there issue beyond obamacare and health care law though? because republicans for five years have been challenging the president's credibility. my question is more, is it immigration reform? does speaker boehner have to bring that up? >> i don't think he should touch immigration reform with a 10-foot pole. ed: what about the president's budget then? he is pulling back on social security cuts. can republicans go after him, you talked about entitlement reform. talked about social security crisis, medicare crisis and you're not doing enough. >> small ed. too small. ed: what are they growing to do? >> they really need to get on the same page. the one problem with obamacare even though they attacked president they were all on different pages. one was saying defund it. one was saying delay it. the party is fractured. no one has risen as a leader. they have to get on the same page and make it about the economy broader. they have not been able to do that. i think if they can find somebody that really captures the imagination of the whole party which is desperate for
8:38 am
something different than just social security and medicare, it's a snooze. there are important issues but they have to reach higher. they have to reach higher. when i say that, i mean go for the culture of the country, and that is in jeopardy right now. there is a war for the culture and republicans are losing it. ed: andrea tantaros, "the five," we'll see you in couple hours. >> by the way, more fun to sit next to julie banderas than look at jay carney every single day? ed: i can clearly say that looking at julie is much better than jay absolutely. look at her. julie: i talk back like jay does. ed: don't give me any grief. julie: new trend in business, folks. listen to this one. silicon valley startup companies are encouraging and have been paying for their employees to get pregnant. they believe the shift in benefits will attract and retain female employees. let's bring in gabrielle carroll from fox business network to explain. this is interesting. never heard of this one before. >> catered luncheons and

8:45 am
people who know their time is limited tend to value experiences like meals with family members, stuff of everyday life. this makes older people happier than material possessions. they also finding peace and calm. interesting. let's bring in the authors of that study. we have visiting assistant professor of marketing from the tufts school of business at dartmouth college. we have a assistant professor of marketing a the wharton school at university of pennsylvania. thanks for joining us. this is so true. when you meet an he will early person the way they see the school as opposed to somebody in their 20s, when we believe we're young with a long future we believe in extraordinary experiences but what we're older we put more value on ordinary experiences but why? >> so that is the effect we found again and again. first of all, thanks so much for having us here. and you're right, that is the effect that we found again and
8:46 am
again. that, that older people, as people get older they increasingly value ordinary experiences and the reason we've identified is that through self-definition, that is, which experiences tend to define us and that younger people tend to define themselves and think that extraordinary experiences really add to their experience mention al cv and define who they are in life. as we get older, we find more ordinary moments in life we build for ourselves say more about who we have. julie: cathy as part of study you separated people into two groups and i thought this was interesting. who was happier, one group, vacations, going to concerts, other exciting moments, and group two talked about things like getting a kiss or text message from a friend as a gift or a treat.

tell us about those differences. >> yeah. actually which weekend made us happier or would make one happier is what motivated the work. it was on a monday morning after a weekend coming into work very politely asked how my weekend was and went on how happy it was. when he asked me what i did, i got quite embarrassed because he had a lovely brunch with my husband and we went for a nice walk and contrast his weekend was extraordinary. he had just gotten back from new york where he went out to great concert with friends. and so that is what motivated the work. we're like, which of our weekend is the happywer weekend? so as he mentioned we went and asked hundreds of people from across the united states. tell us about an ordinary experience. tell us about an extraordinary experience. how happy did it make you? that's where we found the effective age. so for these younger participants -- julie: right. >> it was really these
8:48 am
bucket-list type things. you know, fantastic vacations, life milestones, graduation and then as you mentioned, for older people it was those little treats enjoying a cold frappuccino on a hot day or getting a kiss from a two-year-old. julie: cold frappuccino on a hot day always makes me happy and still will when i'm in the 90s. kiss, i'm not that into touching. my father always used to tell me people never change but your perception of them does. really does ring true to what you guys have found. that the perception of happiness changes over time as well, right? >> right, exactly. that how we define happiness changes over time and that relates to some of castcy's past work as well. our findings are also consistent with this being about a perception of age. really your psychological age. so, when we make younger people feel like something is about to end and their time is limited,
8:49 am
or let's say about to move or graduate from college which is what we did in our study, we find they behave more like older people and really value those -- julie: we need to learn, and we do, we need to learn from older people. respect the elderly but learn from them equally as importantly. thank you very much for talking to us. >> thanks for having us. ed: more problems for the irs. brand new report surfacing showing tax evasion among higher-ups inside the agency. a live report from washington. and are you thinking about a midday snack just about now? i think julie has something for me. i want something crunchy and full of protein, why bugs, there they are, even crickets are showing up on store shelves. julie says she will food them to me. >> i will drop one of these after the commercial. ed: next.

9:01 am
but what does this mean for diplomacy as the eu agrees to move forward with sanctions and the white house issued a statement welcoming the aagreeme agreement. what are saying now? >> reporter: the president was asked as he was here at the white house meeting with democratic governers. he declined to comment then. but put out a statement saying he welcomed the agreement and said it is consistent with what we have been calling for. and the statement goes on saying there must be accountability responsible for the violence
9:02 am
since the crisis has began and we will impose additional sanctions as necessary. the president said before he doesn't see this as quote a cold chain war in which we are fighting with russia. but the russian president might be seeing that different as he is dangling the idea of providing billions of dollars in aid. some are saying the president should have done more to send the message to putin that ukraine isn't part of russia. >> putin isn't going to give up. he wants ukraine back and he may literally fight for it. but we are seeing breathing space now. >> reporter: the white house
9:03 am
says him and his chain will be quote closing watching it and whether there is going to be quote plans to implement it. the president's budget will not be released until next month and it calls for billions in spending and higher taxes on wealthy americans. and he is dropping the plan to cut social security spending which is something republicans support. gop lawmakers dismissing the proposal and john boehner said it is proof the president as quote thrown in the towel. sounds to me like this is the beginning of a budget battle that leads to mid-term elections. the republicans say the president is throwing in the towel on entitlement reform, the
9:04 am
white house said the president put the social security cuts on the table and they are not meeting him on tax hikes. what do you see moving forward? >> it is an election year and there is little happening on capital hill and nothing between the white house and capital hill. as we know here in washington, these budgets tend to be documents that are symbolic in many way and what we see with the president taking the sotes security cut out is a way of appeasing democrats who are upset with him. he is trying to throw them a done here. >> and a bone in the mid-term elections because the republicans are saying the reason the president is pulling back on entitlement reform is
9:05 am
nancy pelosi and harry reid, they don't want them defend thi thi thinging the cuts. is this about the democrats trying to hold on to the senate? >> it is about that. in the mid-term election older turnout among voters is crucial for both parties. so democrats are concerned about separating their elderly base. and republicans know that they could attempt to divide the democratic party and attack vulnerable democrats. so they are rally around trying to defend itself. >> yesterday it was said the president had them last year to try to bring conservativconserv
9:06 am
along. i think if you step back from the budget battles and mid-term elections which you lay out well, isn't this about how into a second term the president has no hopes of a grand bargain budget deal? they are far apart on all of the domestic priorities >> the president is flailing in a way to get this priorities done. and grand bargain was a topic of discussion in washington. a lot of people thought we would see it done. but given the difficulty the obamaca obamaca obamaca obamacare rollout brought, the democrats are struggling. so there is no way they are coming to the table especially since the republicans are
9:07 am
confidant in the senate race. >> you probably saw the story that speaker boehner bought a condo in florida sparking speculation that he is going to walk away after the election and will the republicans have to find a new speaker. and is this about, you know, frustration within the republican party about the tea party and more moderate republicans? what is the speculation right now on whether speaker boehner is looking at retiring? >> i think it is as a great question and a great story. we read with interest about the purchase of that condo. it seemed to fit with what we have heard over the months. he is expressing his frustration with the tea party more so where wher whereas before it wasn't like that. the white house is hoping he
9:08 am
does doesn't retire because they have some relationship with him. i think the white house can forget about a grand bargain if he leaves. with the huge wave of retirements on capital hill, it wouldn't be surprising it boehner throws in the towel. >> good point. if boehner was to step aside, the white house isn't sure who would fill the place. but speaker boehner hasn't signaled what he is doing. maybe he bought it to play more golf. well, more problems for the irs. no reports of understaffing, low funds and even tax evasion. the revelations raises questions

about their ability to handle the complex obamacare issues. senior irs executives should have paid taxes on travel expenses. a leading officials says they were out of control. >> it is underscoring the fact we cannot get away with this activity, but people at the irs can or did. and it is good the inspector general brought this up. these were high level people. people like beth tucker who was the deputy commissioner >> the irs says quote cutting cost is a top priority and the irs has put in place a number of steps to cut cost involved in

right now, a murder trial underway for the aspen socialite charged in a car bombing that killed her ex-husband. this woman, pamala philips, paid her ex-boyfriend to kill her ex-husband for his life insurance funds. let's dip to the courtroom right now. apparently atf agent brad cooper is on the stand. he is a witness in this case. fred, prosecutors describe pamala philips as a gold digger who hired a former boyfriend to kill her husband to collect on a $2 million life insurance policy. can prosecution prove the
9:22 am
motive? >> reporter: they don't have to prove a modtive. juries like to look for one, but as they call an element of the crime, doesn't include that she had a motive. she has $2 million really vot e moetives to -- motives -- to want to blow him to pieces >> pamala philips is charged with the conspiracy i want to make that clear. how hard will it prove she knew about this? >> they will need to get young to confess. >> young is the one being charge would carrying out the hit. >> they need his testify.
9:23 am
pamala philips cannot charged with the murder. she is charged with dealing with him and that is where his testimony comes in. and testimony on behalf of those who knew gary and history. they are saying gary quote lived on the financial edge. and couldn't say they mobsters could have done this? >> i think that is what the defense is going to argue. they are going to definitely argue the mobsters are the ones to blame. this is the hardest point for the state to overcome that and prove beyond a reasonable boubt
9:24 am
doubt it wasn't them >> that is what defense lawyers do. this is why the fbi dragged me out of bed. they get you to look everywhere else for the evidence. there is no evidence about the mob. it is all made up stuff. get the jury to look every place else because if they look at the evidence. as a prosecution your job is to direct the jury to the evidence and that is enough to convict this woman. >> what kind of evidence can the prosecution use to prove he hired this guy, he carried it through, and she was aware. like phone calls or emails? >> they have hard evidence. they have tape recording, emails and financial transactions. the interesting thing is if they
9:25 am
will have young. his case is on appeal. he is not going to help the state out. so it will be interesting if they cut a deal with him for his testimony in order to convict her >> you talk about financial transactions, if they have that, what about the $400,000 transaction? that is the money she spent to kill him off. >> correct. she didn't hesitate to cash in on the life insurance. he saved this. he has receipts and he taped conversations with her. one step is all it cakes takes and one money transaction or phone call is all it takes that is tough case for the defense. >> how is she going to explain why she gave $400,000 to the thug? >> that is a good question.
9:26 am
i look forward to seeing how she is going to get out. i would say if she had $400,000 that kills the motivmotive. if she had that sitting around to spend on the murder, it undercuts their motive. >> $400,000 and $2 million is a big difference. if i am playing the lotto i'm going to play millions versus thousands. thanks for coming on. growing calls to stop proposed cuts to medicare advantage under the federal health care law and what that could mean to seniors. jim engal has a report. and the fcc's plan to come into newsroom and why some critics say it means they are trying to

9:36 am
license of any station they feel isn't up to snuff >> and federal officials are going to decide whether a newsroom is being fair, which i am not sure it is up to them to decide that, what county do we live in? we enjoy a free country and speech and now the fcc wants to change the constitution? does this have legs or no? >> i think they are starting to backtrack because of the talk. i don't think it will get off the ground. it was supposed to start in columbia, south carolina and that hasn't happened. there is a history of power here during watergate when the nixon investigation was being investigated and challenged the tv licenses of two stations owned by the washington corporation. eight areas of critical information needs that ever

9:38 am
this country. and however the fcc tries to spin this, i think it is going nowhere fast. >> do you think there current administration has any influence? >> the president does appoint the commissioners and there are republicans and democrats. but i think the democrats and liberals to be -- should be -- up in arms about this. no one should want the federal government influencing and intimidating the decisions the journalist make. >> and let's say the current administration is democratic and they want to go after the mainstream media they will let them escape and they will go after, let's say fair and
