it is saturday, the 22nd of february, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. a quick and stunning reversal just days after announcing they would monitor america's newsroom. the fcc backing down and pulling the plug on their intrusive study. the man who blew the whistle on the fcc straight ahead. >> we have proof that the minimum wage hike would kill hundreds of thousands of jobs. the president says though it's still a good idea for the country. >> this is not just good policy. it also happens to be good politics. >> so, what does the president care about more? politics or creating jobs? we will break down the numbers next.

>> and simple sign welcoming home a sailor dad. what's wrong with this sign? according to the homeowner's association everything. the fight that one military family is facing today. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ ♪ this is the united states marine corps, you are watching "fox & friends." >> yeah! come on in to "fox & friends." >> good morning. >> four hours. stay for four hours. >> the long national nightmare is over. anna kooiman is back on the curvey couch. >> so how was it? australia, was it 25-hour flight to get there. >> yeah, about 24 hours. >> did you eat kangaroo. >> did i not eat kangaroo. i saw some bill bys. goal la bear. >> i didn't realize when they eat the eucalyptus it makes them stoned. they are high and falling out. >> but they have really

fresh breath. you and a koala bear together. >> you came back to the united states in the a good time. >> yes, you did. >> the fcc this week caused quite a bit of controversy when it announced that it was going to look into this controversial study which would have gone into numerous across the united states and to figure out exactly what content was going on the air, talk to reporters, media managers, and also study stud diversity of the newsroom. but that, of course, raised the eyebrows of many. >> well, the federal government putting monitors in numerous to monitor news content. this was all in the name, of course, of racial bean county. the federal government feels a need to make certain the diversity goals it holds out to the country are met in numerous. they have suspended it though in the wake of outcry. here is a statement from the fcc:

>> but the only reason we even know about this is because of a whistle blower from the fcc itself, one of five bosses there. and really what seems alarming about it is he is the only one of the five who felt the need to come forward. we wouldn't even know about it and it took media outcry for this reversal. let's take a listen. he went "on the record" with greta van susteren last night. >> this is a big victory for the first amendment. the fcc has announced that it is not going to send researchers hired by the government to -- into newsrooms across the country. that's a good thing from all citizens. i have heard from hundreds of americans across the country on email and twitter who have expressed their own concern. they come from across the ideological spectrum. that's one of the good things about this dialogue it's imented that everyone, regardless of where they come from in political issue

shares that bedrock of what our constitution means when it says the press shall be free. >> it is remarkable. we are learning this morning about the company going to conduct this study. maryland company called social solutions international founded back in 2005 which tries to promote racial diversity. scieno study h.i.v. and aids and diversity. what are they doing studying the media and being able to go into a news station and say you are not doing enough diversity coverage. you are not studying the effects of food stamps in the community. we think you need to cover this more on your airways. >> which seems to be as bad. more diversity in the newsroom and more minorities and more women. that was one of the goals of all of this supposedly. the ideas that it could incorporate fringe on them and get them to change their media coverage which is clearly a violation of the first amendment. >> it's not the government's business what color people are by the way is anybody else creeped out by the federal government keeping track of people by their

race? isn't there something a little creepy about that? i have to say this is a victory for the first amendment, maybe? also an ominous threat to the first amendment that they would each consider this and there was no outcry. where are the civil libertarians on the left? they are gone. >> especially on the crack side they support. this diversity -- let's talk about. let's make sure that our airwaves are covering these things. food stamps. voter i.d. laws. >> it's not the congress' business what reporters cover. that concept is totally contrary to the first amendment. >> it might not be the last that we have heard of it either. this has been suspended. it's been derailed for the time being. >> that's a good point. >> the other thing is pai when he was on the greta van susteren show. i don't know who carried it out exactly, we realize that now, this social solutions company, this maryland based

company, but, you know, the idea that they never voted on it he said they never voted on it where does this thing come from and who pays for it? how much do they get paid? >> if they can tell you what color your reporter should be. why can't they tell you what party they ought to belong to. if they can tell you to cover food stamps. why can't they tell to you cover the glories of their political party? you don't want government determining any news coverage. it is totally scary that they would even consider it. >> lead us know what you think about it friends@foxnews.com. we have a lot more to get to this morning including. this a fox news alert. deal struck and protesters claiming victory in kiev after a week of grewell fighting there you have seen the images the fire and brutality there but vow more action today if ukraine's president does not step down. elizabeth prann is live in washington with the very latest. good morning, elizabeth. >> good morning. you are right. not long after the president of ukraine victor signed an agreement he will hold early elections and form a coalition government, he

then fled the city. and police who were guarding important government buildings left. protesters were able to peacefully seize his as well as other important offices. they also started electing leaders to parliament. while experts agree the fact that protest iters were able to take kiev back is a big victory but they point to a long road ahead to stability. the deal agreed to set presidential elections no later than december instead of march of next year. but many protesters say that simply is too late. they want the president ousted immediately and they urge for early elections by may during an emergency session in parliament. now, the president did speak with russian president vladimir putin about you cranial for more than an hour yesterday. the white house says the two discussed the importance of stabilizing ukraine's economy and, quote: of the need to implement quickly the political agreement that was reached. clayton, anna, tucker, back to you guys. >> thanks, elizabeth. thanks for that wrap-up. >> we have other stories making headlines this saturday night -- morning we

factor here. talk about the weather across the country. temperaturewise doesn't look that bad. cold air, guys, is coming back this week. the cold air will be back for almost everybody. remember that polar vortex, we are not talking about that but incredibly cold air winter hanging on. all this severe weather the last couple days that is gone. today not a bad day. pretty nice weekend in general for almost everybody, which is great news after all of this rough weather and the cold air. enjoy it now because the cold air will be back. this is the future radar. you see these scattered showers from time to time in place both today, tomorrow and again on monday. we have had a number of rain delays in the daytona 500 the last couple of years and hopefully that won't happen. unfortunately there is rain to be h temperaturewise, we are looking great. i'm very happy about that temperatures are going to be good after being up north. nice south. daytona high of 68. 10 degrees warmer. guys? >> thank you, rick. >> rick getting a tan. thanks, rick. coming up here on the show, the president using his pen

and phone for a federal minimum wage hike. >> if you want to do business with the federal government as a federal contractor, then you need to be paying your employees $10.10 an hour. >> now he wants that for all workers. but it will cost 500,000 jobs according to some reports. turns out there is a better solution about it we will tell you about it next. >> he is one of the biggest wrestling stars in the world. is hulk hogan getting ready to get back in the ring? >> slim jim. >> we know where he is and we will tell you coming up. so ally bank has a raise your rate cd that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark?

business business recognize raising employees. they end up having lower turn diswrofer rates. higher productivity. higher morale. this is not just good policy it also happens to be good politics. >> that was president obama yesterday continuing to tout his executive power to increase the executive rage to $10.10 an hour. new ceo reports will cost 500,000 jobs. is the obama administration wanting to help. we're asking a professor at the university of maryland peter morici. >> nice to see you this morning. >> nice to be with you. >> republicans have jumped on 500,000 job loss number. say don't pay attention to that number. it's squishy at best. governor o'malley says we will lift up 16 million people out of poverty if we move it to 10.10 an hour. what would do you say? >> whenever you raise a wage by a union contract or law, you are going to make some people better off. you are also going to throw other people out of jobs.

that 500,000 is not an inconsequential number. it's very large in the grand scheme of things it would raise unemployment by 3/10ths and throw those 500,000 folks deeper into poverty. it's robbing peter to pay paul. it's just bad economics. it's not good business policy. what the president is looking for is a wedge issue to distract attention from the healthcare debacle, you know, for the fall elections. >> so the cbo prediction for this 10.10 an hour would put it at 900,000 fewer below the poverty line as a result of it in their prediction. is there though a better way where we wouldn't have to have that amount of job loss? is there a middle ground? >> well, absolutely. if we raise the minute pump wage to about $8 an hour. i think we can go to 8.25 and not have much of an impact on employment. that's really inferred by the cbo study. but the president doesn't want to do what other

presidents, other democratic presidents have done in the past and that's keep the minimum wage in line with inflation, which is generous considering that most workers are not keeping up, instead he is looking for a wedge issue for the fall election. this is frankly demagoguery. >> let's look at the larger number though which is the amount of money that would be infused into the economy. again, martin o'malley that governor's association meeting yesterday saying people who don't understand it are probably making more than $400 a month, the rich that are complaining about this, but such an infusion of money into the economy up wards of $30 billion that woe can't not do this. >> well, there wouldn't be infusion if you create more unemployment. in addition, got to remember if we pay that mcdonald's worker $10 an hour. cost of the big mac, happy meal fries and soda is going to group 1 or $2. working poor that most frequent those restaurants, so they will be worse off. this is basically money allusion. what we will do is create a the love inflation and at

the end of the day fewer americans will be employed, more machines will be used, and our chronic unemployment problem will just be larger. >> peter morici, economist at the university of maryland. we appreciate you joining us as always,. >> take care. >> ever wonder how viral video stars do things like this? >> max's online video demonstrates a newly made semi sharpness by slicing 24 zombiefied beer cans at once. >> this is why i lost sleep last night. i was wondering this exact thing. turns out we now know science is behind this one. and a whole lot more coming up on the show. we will show you exactly what happens in viral videos. ever see this picture? roadside miracle search talking about. aunt how she saved her dying nephew. how she knew what to do in that moment. i'm beth...

and to be truthful, it should probably regulate manufacturing standards and labeling practices. there is no question about that. and they will probably, i would imagine, ban sales to minors. people under 18. that makes sense too. but otherwise i believe we want to make ecigarettes as attractive to smokers as possible. >> well, of course. i guess i'm so struck of the willingness of policymakers to pass laws on the basis of no science claiming they are acting in the public's interest but not having no science to back it up. i mean, isn't the real issue here is that smoking is unfashionable and rich, well-educated people don't smoke and therefore people who do smoke or vape are fair game. >> well, actually, they are quite concerned about young people. that's really one of the main targets of concern. most -- even the most

vociferous critics recognize that ecigarettes are far safer for smokers than are cigarettes. you will get the nicotine. remember, the nicotine is not what is harmful. the nicotine is what addicts you and that's why we don't want minors to have access to them. it's smoke that kills. but, we don't -- as i said, they haven't yet made their proclamation on it. and we want to do -- we do want to keep it out of the hands of young people. they are concerned about a gateway effect that young people might start vaping and then move on to cigarettes. and that would be a very bad outcome. and this is something we have to follow but the cdc data that exists now shows that smoking in youth is at an all-time low at 18%. ecigarette use has gone up a little bit.

so, if anything, if we can ter pretty those numbers they are still pretty small. if we can interpret them at all, they would suggest that actually young people who are smoking are probably using ecigarettes to get themselves off cigarettes. >> of course. that's why reality needs to guide our policy. sally sittel joining us from washington. thank you for joining us. >> under fire for more broken promises and failing to tackle entitlements. are they one area we should be cutting from? our military? that's where the cuts are coming. details at the top of the hour. plus, have you ever wondered how viral video stars do things like this? >> clearly it's been quite a week for the firefighters of germany. so, what better way to utilize their power hosen than by making a car -- >> wow, we he know how that happened. we have got the science behind this one and a lot more coming up. ♪

control as we know. surprise surprise if you at home believed him, you shouldn't have. because the 2015 budget has been leaked, parts of it anyway. the president's budget and there are no efforts to restrain entitlement spending whatsoever. >> specifically, cuts to social security cost of living increases which the president said the white house said we put that on the table as a gesture of god will because then republicans would come back on the other side and close those tax loopholes for the rich and we would come togetherring in this bipartisan grand agreement. the white house saying the republicans coming forward with no. we have had the tax increases. setting this up accurately. we had the tax increases a lot of them and we have not seen any cuts to entitlement snrs the white house admitting that was just a little bit of a carrot there and yes, republicans saying that the president has no real initiative on trying to

do something about this debt crisis we are. in charles krauthammer basically says the same thing. take a listen. >> i think it is true. he has never been interested in lowering the deficit. i think that was clear. it contradicts the reason he ran for president. it's to change a lot of things in society to give people stuff like healthcare, et cetera. that's the vision he has. social, democratic, and reducing the deficit was never on the list. the idea that change cpi is a gift, as he said a bargaining chip to republicans rather than the logical thing any president would do, if you are trying to make social security recipients whole by keeping up with inflation the current measure is inaccurate measure. why wouldn't you want an accurate one. it's not a gift to the g.o.p. it's a gift to the country. >> >> that's exactly right if

you care about social security and medicare and medicaid for that matter, you are going to restrain their growth because the country can't afford it with the baby boom we tiring this is unsustainable. any person who does math can do addition understands that. >> what's also military budget when you look at big budget contracts they are spending on gas masks and airplanes they don't actually need. instead of cutting those big contracts that are putting money in the pockets of lobbyists, and part of this new budget is actually going to cut the pensions and the standard of living increases for the military personnel. >> >> let's take a look at some of these proposals for military cuts. one year freeze or raising for top military brass. pay raises for troops. cut subsidies come miss sears. also -- i don't think

anybody argues that you couldn't restrain military spending some. but contrast their eagerness to cut pay to our troops with their total unwillingness to say reduce welfare spending, food stamps, social security ssi, disability which is completely out of control, every single dollar spent on those programs they will tell with you a straight face absolutely necessary. >> is that going to discourage, you know, men and women from wanting to join the military if the benefits are cut to them? i talked to a number of veterans during the holidays who stopped me at stores and said you guys have got to talk about. this you guys have got to talk about this on the show because this is a big problem for veterans see huge cuts to standard of living. we are not going to be able to do this and do that it hits people the most instead of big contracts that could be done away with. >> speaking of entitlements, owe become that care the biggest of all. the president still trying

to convince young people to buy. in a new white house video released friday night trying to convince people under 30 it is cool to buy into obamacare. watch this if you already have health insurance, think about someone you need to know who needs to hear this news. your friends, your co-workers and family members and pass it on. tell them about the new healthcare choices and benefits that are available to millions of americans to help them get covered. go to healthcare.gov to make your own decision. they can just click here. how did you guys do that? >> okay so, right there embedded on that video, that red box right there was an embeddable link that you guys can click can on to take you to the front page of healthcare.gov. smart marketing, right? doesn't take you away from the page. the only problem is this morning if you try to do it the web site. >> wah-wah.

fcc pulling back on plug to investigate the news making process in numerous "newsrooms across the country even after receiving intense backlash from one of its own commissioners. what made the agency think this was a good idea in the first place to monitor journalists in their own newsrooms. here now for fair and balanced debate for real clear politics burns and from the "weekly standard" michael warren. welcome to you both. katelyn, why would this possibly be a good idea and what gives government the right shape or critique news coverage. >> that's a good question. they say it's under every three years the fcc has to submit a report to congress looking at barriers that --

barriers for small businesses and priewrns to get into entrepreneurs to get into the industry. they wanted to look at access for under served communities, perhaps and the way in which newsrooms are putting out the news. but, of course, any time that the government has any access into newsrooms is troubling. >> yeah, i mean, michael, i guess i'm really struck by the lack of outcry over this plan to put government come czars in numerous. i can't find a single associated press story. they apparently didn't cover it democrats said nothing. do people care about the first amendment anymore? >> it took a little time for this story to get out. ajit pai is one of the commissioners and wrote a "wall street journal" article last fright day and calling this out and saying people should do something about this. over the next week it trickled out. i know fox news covered it

quite a bit. so it did get pushed eventually to the forefront. but, you are right, it did take a while. and you you know, it says something that it took this attack on the first amendment for the press to get upset. we think about what happened with the irs scandal and targeting conservative groups and questions about government sort of meddling in freedom association it. it took a year and a half for them. when the press gits gets hit of course you are going to respond. they haven't responded as loudly. i don't know why they haven't. >> katelyn this is about racial bean counting. the underlying assumption is that news organizations are racist and somehow not responding to the needs of underserved communities. no one bothers to define that term. why is it the government's right to determine the color of reporters? >> fcc regulatory agency

broadcast stations get licenses from fcc this is part of broadcast organizations or under their jurisdiction under this print organizations were also going to be under their jurisdiction which they are really not. >> michael warren, really quickly. how could the fcc possibly have jurisdiction over a print publication. >> that sounds like something they were trying to do quietly, maybe nobody would notice. maybe the numbers would be like maybe we are under fcc pursue. purview. it's not just the racial bean counting you are talking about. you look at the issues they wanted the news organizations to cover like environment. economic equality. it sounds like the president's own agenda. i'm not saying the president was dictating this from on high but it was pretty. >> it it every left wing hobby horse. thank you for joining us this morning that was illuminating. >> thanks, tucker j parents you love it when your babies

8. aloha, clayton, you have a baby debate for us. >> that's right. new study says parents should be aware baby's appetite. more hearty eating three month old twins and found the twin who was more enthusiastic about food and took longer to get full gained two pounds more than the less eaten thiews as stick twin by 15 months. having trouble following that? no worries. we will focus on diet and calories. a registered dietitian and founder of the f-factor diet. dr. susan bartell, author of fit and fun family. nice to see you this morning. >> nice to see. >> you what your initial thought to this studdie. >> this study brought to our attention what is occurring in infancy is actually affecting the next generation of children and what their weight will be. and currently the statistics are startling. one out of every three children in this country is either overor obese. the fact that the study

discussed monitoring intake is not about putting children on a diet. we are not trying to restrict a child's intake. what the study was report something that some children don't have that mechanism that cues they are full. parents are responding by giving them more than what they need. >> at three months old doctor? it's kind of amazing. my little girl at three months old she wanted more and more breast milk you give it her. really? we're worried about her becoming obese later in life. >> first of all i think it's worried about worrying about obesity later in life. so many babies are chubby cheek and grow up to be very thin when he they're older. i have one of those in my house. not only that, when parents are are asked to focus in on calories it's going to interfere with their ability to bond with their child and understand their child's instinctively understand their child's need and pay attention to that when they are focusing on calories. >> further what bothers me about this not to cut you off, tonya, the idea that a

calorie is a calorie. when a baby is getting breast milk not the same as feeding them a box of candy. >> i want to respond to that there are specific guidelines that are global from every pediatric. american academy of peed at tricks have mandated children need 2 to 6 ounces. a to 7 ounces 2 to 6. probably every five to six hours there are guidelines. it is suggested if you follow those guidelines, even if your child is asking for more, for growth, for development, they don't necessarily need it. and think -- i don't know if you guys have children. i have three children. and do you remember how some kids you put them down for a nap and they would start crying and you take the crib -baby out of the crib. just because a child is responding with crying does not necessarily mean that they need more food. they might be tired. they might have other physiological needs. >> that's true. that is definitely the truth. >> if you overfeed these children, we talk about chubby children, of course it's adorable and chubby

children can still of course grow up to be thin. what a study showed found 8,000 kids. children that were overweight why the time they were a had a five times greater risk of being obese by the time they are 15. what's happening before kindergarten does matter. >> doctor, i want to give you a final word on this. is this setting them up for eating disorders down the road? >> when parents start focusing on calories and diet when their kids are very young there is no doubt it sets them up for eating disorders. we need to focus on healthy eating. we as parents need to take control of what we are giving our children. we don't have to give them bowls of pass tax candy. we can offer them healthy choices. fruits, proteins, but certainly it's about health. it's not about how many calories you are eating. not about going on a diet. it's from infancy through adulthood. making sure that we as parents are focusing on our kids eating healthily. we don't need calories. if our homes and what he would role modeling for them as adults includes healthy foods and exercise. >> you are right. it starts with the

parenting. it starts with the parenting. i couldn't agree more on the food side and even sleep side. it's not up to the kids to decide when they take a' nap. thank you so much we appreciate you both joining us so much this morning. we would love to hear from you this morning. weigh in on facebook page as well ff weekend on facebook. coming up next on the show, guys out there, has your smarted spoken stolen your manliness? with the answer to everything at your finger tips? arepaying the price for it, men? why one writer says it's time rereclaim our manliness? start up your engines. down in day tonena, florida. rick revised code mouth taking us down the scenes there more on in when we come back. instead of mailing everyone my vacation photos,

neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

the fcc. in the course of fcc review and public comment, concerns were raised that some of the questions may not have been appropriate. chairman wheeler agreed that survey questions in the survey directed towards managers, news directors, reporters overstepped the bounds, any subsequent market studies conducted by fcc if determined necessary will not seek participation from these individuals. so, again, they are not saying they are not going to study it. saying they are going to do it in a more subtle way. >> suspended but just for. >> now the plug is pulled just for now. the big issue with this too is we wouldn't know about. this nobody at the fcc seemed to have a problem with this except one man ajit pai one of five boss only wanted to speak out blow the whistle. he actually spoke out on the kelly file last night are on greta van susteren. excuse me. left's take a listen to what he had to say. >> this is a big victory for the first amendment. the fcc has announced it is not going to send researchers hired by the

government into newsrooms across the country. that's a good thing i think for all citizens i have heard from hundreds of americans across the country on emay and twit his or her express their own concern. they come from across the ideological spectrum. that's one of the good things about this dialogue it's illustrated everyone regardless where they come from political issue shares that bedrock understanding what our constitution means when it says the press shall be free. >> this is just the latest assault by this administration. , they have gone after individual reporters. they snooped on our own james rosen, on his parents on staten island. they tried to send people to prison who leaked information to the public. they have in some cases sent to prison whistle blowers. now they are trying to monitor newsrooms. you would think the press would be up in arms. >> lay out the parameters. snooping into reporters, digging into emails of reporters and. name the country oh, we live in the soviet union or china or communist state.

no, it's the united states. >> richard nixon takes a lot of heat from historians for his antidemocratic impulses, supposedly. he never proposed sending monitors into numerous to make sure that reporters were producing government approved stories. >> right. he was paranoid but he wasn't paranoid enough to send monitors. >> right. >> mainstream from the outrage from the mainstream media. >> have they done stories on it? >> no. the a.p., the "new york times," you know, it seems -- the nightly newscast on major networks, from what we have been able to find, they are mia. >> associated press and "new york times" perhaps, perhaps i could understand it because it night not directly involve them in any capacity, but the nightly newscasts, which are by the way are on broadcast television. broadcast television which is exactly how the fcc flexes its muscles on broadcast television. nightly news, cbs show ande abc. >> well, to be fair the way that the study was touted was that the goal was to increase diversity, have

more women and minorities inside the newsroom. but the threat, of course, is that it would change the way that these media outlets actually cover the news. and that is not fair. that is certainly a violation of the first amendment. >> the idea that the government has the right to tell you look, i run a newsroom. and the government has no right to tell you newsroom and what we produce nor does it have the right to tell any other news organization what to run or who to employ. the "new york times" you would think would be honest because don't they care about civil liberties and first amendment? they claim they do. obviously they don't. maybe there is massakist who like it when they get bossed around by the federal government. whichever it is, it's a real dereliction of duty. they should be reporting this is flat out assault on the first amendment and they should have saiding about it. >> we have been doing this show so i haven't read the "new york times." >> i have it wasn't in my version. >> it wasn't in your paper. >> no. >> let us know what you think about. this weigh in on facebook page on ff weekend on facebook as well. >> coming up on "fox &

improving the emissions of trucks. that have dramatically increased the price of trucks, in '97 when i bought my last period built it actually cost $97,000. that same truck today, if you could buy it is $165,000. and the majority of those increases are directly related to e.p.a. mandates. it all sounds warm and fuzzy that we're going to increase fuel mileage, and average people say hey they do it for cars, why not trucks? it's really dynamic environ many where trucks are used very differently enemy different applications. this is an example of one size fits all mandates from the government. >> and we're noticing companies like u.p.s., they are actually supporting president obama but they are also accepting taxpayer money. what do you make of all of this? you mentioned that the majority of these trucking companies own 20 trucks or fewer. it's not just the majority. it's 97% of the 1.3 million

of them. what do you make of big companies siding with the president? >> yeah. that's something that we have seen through this whole process where a large motor carrier interests wrap themselves in a green flag and they are supportive and from our point of view, that is nothing more than them trying to use the government to basically monopolize the industry. knock the little folks out of marketplace and they themselves benefit through increased rates. in the example you are describing, u.p.s. is very supportive of this, yet, u.p.s. sits there and garners $2.2 million from you and i as taxpayers here in southern california to buy new trucks. money that allegedly is available to small businesses but as in the document i supplied to your producer, it's large businesses who get that corporate welfare from us as taxpayers. it's not a level playing field. >> it radio. i know that you argue that diesel is burning cleaner than ever before to people who say this is very

>> it depends on the generation. however, if you keep in mind the modern technology, less stress when you actually extend an invia the text. less fear of rejection. >> right. >> versus face-to-face conversation. and the least acceptable way to extend an invite is email. people feel that it is too business-like. and that it limits intimacy. >> this is an interesting statistic, 5% of women say that men usually paid when the bill came. that's shocking to me. that should be the first thing men to do is reach for the pocket. a 8% of women said that the question is it acceptable behavior and expected for the man to pay especially on the first date? >> >> a few generations ago the first date meant the beginning of a potential marriage partner. however, dating now is basically hanging out,

getting together, relaxing, having fun for an evening without commitment. however, some rules don't change. and this is one of them. whoever initiates the invite is expected to pay. >> even if it's the lady, huh? >> even if it's the lady. >> i have to say i have three daughters i will tell them that if a man doesn't pay, run. excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and head out the front door and never talk to them again. >> you also encourage them to attempt to pay first? >> of course not should the lady reach for the purse. >> exactly. actually what happens, give the gentleman an opportunity to reach for the check when it arrives. her role is to give a genuine offer, and then reach for the purse. however, keep in mind, it's vitally important for the female to go prepared to pay, but, accept graciously if the gentleman insists. >> even if he invites you to

this super nice fancy dinner and you are somebody who doesn't make a lot of money and you are a woman, you know, should you still reach for your purse? >> it's courtesy. >> okay. >> and courtesy and kindness and plightness polite inness are acceptable. you want to offer and give that genuine offer and be prepared if he should accept. it will be much more meaningful. >> what about the follow-up after that first date? call or text? should a person call? get on the phone and say thank you or should they text as a follow-up to maybe continue the dating mode? >> actually, what happens is when you have had this interaction, i have a different perspective on that. and you you know if you are in to each other. you know if you have had this wonderful three-hour plus conversation. and the time passed so quickly. and keep in mind that i have the perspective that establish commonalities, posturing, positioning, and

movement and body language and eye contact and gestures and then positive interaction. also keep in mind that it is always acceptable to be courteous. always acceptable to be polite. >> that's good advice. >> i suggest that you actually follow through and the next day send a quick email if it's just hanging out. >> three or four hour nice conversation and you never hear from them. thank you so much. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. delightful. >> presidential push to sign up young people for obamacare. just one problem. the site was down again this morning. >> yikes, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. we are just a day away from the daytona 500 and our rick reichmuth is live with nascar driver ryan vickers next.

thanks for coming on. how could this happen? >> thanks, tucker. well, it's a natural outgrowth of the policies that attorney general holder and the obama administration pursuing by trying to use the civilian domestic criminal justice system to try terrorists and pirates. >> there is really no debate about the essential facts, that this guy alee muhammed ali was a somali pirate. weighs captured on the danish vessel after 1.7 million was paid in ransom. he was a pirate. how could they fail to get a conviction on this guy for one thing. >> it's just more bungling by this justice department. first, they bring this guy to the united states. when he should have been sent, i think, to a place like guantanamo bay and tried as you mentioned by military court or military commission which are set up for these things. and then the prosecutors lost the case. if they had this kind of possibility in mind, they shouldn't have brought him to the united states in the first place. if it was a weak case, they should not have brought him

in the country. because now what could happen is going to happen. is he free and he can file to stay in the country permanently rather than being expelled and sent back to some somalia. >> we are seeing this members of street gangs who are here illegally. i was in a street gang therefore i need asylum and they are getting it. in this case is there anything that are can be done to preengeght this guy from remaining in the u.s. under asylum, getting welfare, having the taxpayers support him when he is, again, for the third time a pirate? >> no, i don't think so. and think about what would happen if the obama administration has its way and brought terrorists from guantanamo bay for trial in civilian courts in the u.s., which they have said they have wanted to do. that would be the same thing that would happen with. they they could file for asylum. and if they were to get it, they could go on the public welfare roles, too, and could not be expelled from the country. >> where we would wind up paying for food stamps and disability and housing

vouchers for terrorists just as we are going to do that with a somali pirate. how long standing is this policy and how mass kiss stick is this country where this persist what is is wrong with a country that would welcome pirates and put them on welfare. >> i think it has to do more with the obama administration being trapped by the antiwar ideology that they campaigned on and pursuing ever since that this idea that terrorism is really just a criminal justice problem and that the bush administration overreacted by using the military. but if you are going to treat it like a criminal justice problem, you are going to get acquittals and you are going to get people like muhammed ali or terrorists going to go free and then are going to as you said get on the public welfare roles and cost the united states money. >> that's just unbelievable. and really keep in mind this guy if he gets asylum will not be illegal alien in this country he will be here completely legally. thanks for highly distressing but informative

priority list. if you're on an international flight, your chances of getting out are good. . the cancellator looks at all the options out there. you have aircraft out of place. you have crews out of place. you have to take care of people making connections as opposed to those who tr not. >> what about money? >> absolutely. so if you're an airline you want to sprerv not only your schedule but your revenue. >> let's look at planes traveling with more people. i would imagine those are not canceled as quickly. >> all planes are full now. an average plane is 58% full at this point. so this is one of the big problems is that the system keeps backing up and backing up. once the weather goes, the problems radiate. everyone is flying on fa full plane. >> what about planes flying from

hub hub? >> it's there's a lot of service. that flight is more likely to be canceled. this is another term which the kanslator continues recom programs that factor into the kanslator program. >> we talked to you about revenue on international flights. what about the planes chalk full of people who got discounted fares? >> again, if you look at the priority system, it's the business class flier you would like to preserve. maybe if you're flying to a caribbean area you may get stuck. you're lower on the priority list. it all factors in. >> what about the consumer electronic show in vegas? >> las vegas does not have weather problems. that's one good thing. so the super bowl, for instance,

you know, the airlines are going to try to keep those flights connected. they don't want to disappoint people. they don't want to read about my flight to the super bowl was canceled by some airline. but those are pretty rare. >> it's interesting to know it's not arbitrary. >> not at all. it's a difficult problem. there's so many variables that it can't be solved by the computer. up to sort of figure it out as you go along. so airports close when we don't think they're going to close. >> bill, thank you for your piece. fascinating. coming up on the show, apple admitting a major flaw in their security. is your information safe? all the details about that on top of the hour. in the movie "gravity" may not just be a hollywood hit. some say a disaster like the one

they have not abandoned the plan to study the output to make sure the political correctness is represented there. but they're not going to send monitors. >> this is put on pause so we can look and see if the study o can be expanded in some other capacity. he was the only member of the sec to blow the whistle. he sat down last night to say he's glad this is a victory. >> he's acknowledge that had the study design did come close to the line when it comes to the core principles. in my own view, it's over the line. i'm glad to take that concession as a victory. if there's any future initiatives that the is fcc tries. i'll be calling it out as well. >> he goes onto say he's not sure who came up with the study, how it was carried out, but the issue a lot of people is he is

one of five bosses and the only one outraged enough to speak out about it. if we had it, we would have no idea. the sec probably wouldn't have done anything had the media not outcried about it. >> by the way, he's an fcc commissioner and he had no idea where it came from? you won't have read about this in the associated press. we couldn't find a single a.p. story about this. "the ney york times" has not covered it. none of the three broadcast networks have covered it in the nightly newscasts. why? this is a direct attack on freedom of the fresz. and they're somehow ignoring it. >> and the ncc directly flexes its muscles for broadcast television. has little that it can do to cable. but the local news stations that american americans rely on in their town. no coverage of them, which is really surprising.

>> it's another abuse that the federal government is doing of power. . our own james rosen targeted the i.r.s., targeting conservative group ls. this is another issue that we're having to deal with. it's wild. and thankfully, yeah, thankfully he did speak out and he's going to be speaking out on "fox and friends" tomorrow. make sure to tune in for that. meanwhile, there's a backlash kbens against the president's 2015 budget. we need a combination of tax increases and some attempt to rain in entitlement spending. we got the tax increases in space. if you pay taxes, you know that. there's going to be no attempt by the administration to rain in social security, medicare or medicaid. they didn't mean it. >> the cost of living portion is what they're specifically saying is off the table. the president, the white house backtracking and saying, well,

it's because the republicans never gave up on the tax loopholes for the rich. you know, the aircraft tax incentives that are broad bipartisan support across the country. the republicans never went to baton the tax loopholes being solved. so we're going to pull this off the table. . >> and you have to blame the republicans for it. republicans obviously not happy about all of this. and charles is echoing those thoughts, saying the president really had no intention of trying to lower the deficit. >> i think it is true. he's never been interested in lowering the deficit. it contradicts the reason he ran for president. to change things in society. to give people stuff like health care. that's the vision he had.

the idea that it's a gift, as he said a bargaining chip to republicans rather than the logical thing any president would do. the current measure is an inaccurate measure. why wouldn't you want an accurate one. >> they're not math people over there in the white house. i think he's absolutely right. they don't care the the fact that the debt is bigger than the economy. what does that have to do with social justice and the civil rights movement? they're not interested. >> right. especially when you run for re-election. are you going to take away their programs? are you going to tell them when you're running for re-election that you'll have less to put on the table because of the cost of living increase. we couldn't get it done? >> lawmakers may be pitted against the veterans groups because of what we're hearing now, that military members are

going do be really suffering. the pentagon is seat to unveil plans of personnel size. and here's what's being proposed. >> one-year freeze on pay raises. >> the limits on the pay raises all together and cut subsidies to the commissaries and raise nonurgent health care fees and limit the troops' housing allowances. so they haven't stayed up late to reduce social welfare spending. but reduce food stamps? are you kidding? reduce disability payments? no way. reduce any kind of welfare at all, that's an outrage. they're totally happy to stick it to the troops. it's weird. >> let us know what you think about that. also reach us on twitter. democrats are still in denial about the damage that obamacare is doing. listen. >> there is absolutely no evidence and every economist will tell you that if there is

time positions are actually down since 2010, not up. the number of full-time workers continues to increase. i know that's a popular myth that continues to be repeated. but it is just not accurate. >> zero kpleconomists will say that. that was kathleen sebelius denying that jobs will be lost because of obamacare despite reports that 2.5 million jobs are on the line. >> is she in denial? let's ask the former director of the congressional budget office, douglas holt. good morning. >> good morning. >> you say obamacare involves massive regulation, despite what kathleen sebelius says. >> yeah. i don't see we will open an economic consulting firm together in the near future. if you just think about it. and we ask the panel, how do you want to create jobs? would you raise $800 billion in

taxes? would you impose $400 billion in regulatory costs? >> no. sp and it's impossible to believe that this is helping growth. it's hurting growth. it's hurting jobs. the cbo came out with a report that observed if you give people money, whether they work or not for health insurance, it gives them less incentive to work and 2.5 million jobs go away. this is not shocking and it's ludicrous i think. >> ludicrous is a good way to put it. the report from the ceo came out and with economists studying the impact and kathleen sebelius down in orlando goes on television and says no economists agree. so on tennessee one hand, the administration loves to wrap itself around the cbo when reports look good. on other times they like to ignore it. >> yeah, i think they've made a mistake in their reaction k which is essentially to attack the messenger. if you read the cbo report, it's a careful, measured analysis of this. many people would have come to much worse conclusions.

but the direction of this, that it's bad for jobs is indisputable. every time we come close to putting it in place, they waive it. they know it's out there. they keep dodging it. >> we have a poll that says three-quarters of americans agree with raising the minimum wage. the cbo says it's going to be helping some but of course it's going to be costing jobs. what do you make of it. >> not terribly surprising. no one loses their job and there's no decrease in hiring. that's just nonsense. the best thing to happen is zero. that's what the administration is saying. the more important thing is the minimum wage doesn't solve poverty. only 19% goes to people who are

poor. so this is politics trumping good policy. >> but the critics will say, look, that's better. that will affect 0.3% of the population in a job lost. some argue the job is squishy. there were 45 million americans in poverty. and the dividing line between being poor and not poor in the u.s. is having a job. why would you pick a policy that kills 500,000 jobs to address poverty? this is really politics truly trumping policy f. . >> we've got to go, douglas. can you just give us -- do you see a happy medium at some point? can you give us a number that you would suggest? >> a number? >> for a minimum wage hike. >> this is the wrong time to raise minimum wage, period. we've had a terrible economic recovery. the interesting thing comes from

the people who haven't seen their jobs come back. they haven't seen their paychecks go up. the distress is real. this goes in exactly the wrong direction. the biggest proof is we raised the minimum wage in the last recession. teenage unemployment is over 20% rite now. >> douglas holtz-eakin, we appreciate you being here this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up on "fox and friends", explosive new claims that schools are drugging our students to raise test scores? parents, we promise you want to stick around for this. then the biggest story of the daytona 500, austin dillon will be behind the number 3 car. the first to use the number since the late dale earnhardt. some time?

rick is out with one of two drivers. >> reporter: yeah, one of the big stories in nascars over the last 13 years now has the number 3 car. and it's a car that dale earnhardt was driving when he crashed and died here in daytona. that number has never been driven in a sprint cup race until tomorrow. i have austin dillon here. you're the first guy who will be driving the number 3 car. it hasn't been without controversy. there's been people saying that number should have been retired and never brought back. tell me what it feels like for you to be driving this car and why you think it's okay. >> well, we've had a great start to the year with our starting on the poll here at daytona. it's taken a lot of work with a lot of good people around us to bring it back. my family and i went around and talked to everybody to get their opinion and talk to the media. talk to guys that were on the team.

and we just try to add to the number. add to the legacy. we start off well here at daytona and look forward to getting going. >> reporter: you mentioned your family thought about this a lot. your family is a racing family. richard childress is your grandfather. he was friends with dale. your grandfather drove the number 3 car. >> yeah. it's unbelievable. dale earnhardt was able to create so much history with a number. i was here in '98 when they won. looking back on when i was that little and now it means so much to me to on the pole and you're for the number three 3, the first year that it's back. what is it like for you? >> well, it's been exciting.

we've had a lot of fun times leading up to this. this is definitely one of the biggest moments in my career. trying to soak it all in and enjoy it. it's a long season. hopefully we can ride the momentum throughout the year. >> when you start off number one, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win the race by any means, but it certainly means you have a good start and a good car. you have to be feeling good about your chances. you're young. >> the practice went really well. we wanted to see how our car would handle. it ran really well. >> austin, thank you so much. if there's any doubt this is a big deal about the number 3 car coming back, take a look at this. the cheerios box this week. >> yeah, it's pretty awesome. it has the legacy of 3 on the back. it tells the story of the number 3. >> it's awesome.

>> i think you have some on the set. >> it's got to be good because anna kooiman, the healthiest person i've ever met is eating them on the set. >> did you find them in there yet? >> actually, i like the honey nut ones. >> they are so good. >> thank you. next on "the rundown", it's a simple sign, welcoming home a sailor father. what's wrong with that? according to a homeowner's association, everything is wrong with that. you won't believe the fight one military family is facing. and we bet your kids had snowball fights all the time. one teenager got slapped with a felon because he hit a cop. does the punishment really fit the crime? too big. too small.

how my life got flip turned upside down ♪ >> last night justin timberlake helping jimmy fallon cap off his first awesome week of "the tonight show"'s host. their musical mashup featured over 20 songs. it's already going viral in a way that jay leno's version of the tonight show never did. will ferrell did a great job this week on there. he did a dance. he did an ice skating dance to the theme from downtown abbey. which was beautiful. >> there's ice dancing on "the tonight show"? >> there is now. >> i would watch justin timberlake and jimmy fallon together all day, every day. >> justin timberlake basically goes on other people's show for a living. >> oprah. >> he's better than the host. >> wlast that many? oh, no, he's not coming on. if you're still in bed this saturday morning, this will get you up. a homeowner in louisiana is now

fighting for the right to put up a sign, a welcome home sign, for their son and father who has been away for years -- you can see the sign there -- on the "uss enterprise." the homeowner's association in this town trying to prevent the family from being welcomed home. >> he has been gone for some four years he's been deployed, and the family is super excited he's coming home in a few weeks and wanted to put this sign up. the homeowners association is saying "you've got to take it down." his mother is all fired up about it. take a listen. >> he's out there, and he's left his daughter, and that's hard already for him. so this is how she keeps him in her heart every day, and clearly if you see the house, it's pretty much an homage to her daddy. i'm not clear why it can't stay up. they haven't been able to explain it to me either. i would think anybody would honor that. we want the world to know how proud we are of him.

>> the homeowners association is allowing them to keep it up for an additional two weeks after he comes home. they say it appears that it's a permanent sign as opposed to a temporary sign. we asked what you thought about it. herman says as a retired navy vet it's nonsense that the homeowners association would ban that sign #power trip. >> if you live in this neighborhood, you have to sign an agreement. what you can and can't do. you can't have it both ways. >> i like it both ways. >> and joey, i was the past president of the homeowners association and we did not lemplsz allow signs. >> you're still talking about the sign, right? >> yeah. but i mean, look, i actually believe to some extent exceptions and sometimes double standards in certain cases. >> common sense.

>> any time somebody says that it's an invitation to aauthoritarianism and dumbness. >> and veteran who is live in the homeowners association were fired up about it. they put yellow ribbons on the sign when you drive into the complex. the association quickly ripped the yellow ribbons down. >> really? >> they did. wouldn't you think the neighbors would be excited to honor our heros and this patriot is coming home after four years. >> one of the most outrageous parts of the story is they've hired a mediator to deal with this problem. so the homeowners association dues that you all pay, which is like $200, $300 a month to live in a community like this. those dues are not going to fix the roads are make sure the paint is consistent in the clubhouse. it's going to hire a mediator. >> that makes total sense. in america, we're addicted to experts. there's an expert for everything. no decision can be made about

the most intimate things without an expert. figure it out yourself. use common sense and decency. >> welcome home. now to more of your saturday morning headlines. international authorities are searching for a missing american in italy. the 21-year-old college student was last seen thursday morning at bar in rome. he stayed behind after his friends had left. >> there's no cell phone. there's no activity. there's no activity on his credit card. nothing to indicate that he's traveling outside of the area. so that's why we're so concerned. >> the family has flown to italy and are working with authorities to help find him. the justice department revises it's rules for obtaining records from the media and leak investigations, like the one involving james rosen. the deoj now saying in most cases it will notify news organizations beforehand.

the move would give outlets an opportunity to challenge subpoenas or search warrants in the federal court. outrage after a 13-year-old boy is hit with a felon charge for throwing a snowball at a cop. sit happened in chicago just a block from the boy's school. the snowball hit the cop in the car while he sat in the squad car. the boy says he was wrongly picked out of a crowd of kids walking home from class and says the snowball didn't hit the officer. he faces aggravated battery charges and was suspended from school for five days. he'll be in juvenile court next month. the author of the controversial new book, the adhd explosion say schools are under pressure to get better test scores and are pushing more kids to be tested and diagnosed with adhd. they say kids prescribed with adhd drugs sometimes get special treatment and in some cases get excluded from testing all together. >> outrageous. a bad week. first the uaw is smacked down by

including conspiracy, violent crime and arson. julie has been investigating this. gillian, thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> so ten members of philadelphia's iron workers local 401. >> yes. >> based in philadelphia. had a group -- kind of hilarious. they called the union size. >> the thug. >> they sort of behaved like thugs. this indictment ties them to a quicker meeting house that was vandalized. somebody went in a few days before christmas. took basically a blow torch and targeted several critical structure points to the quakers. i mean, these are the nicest group of people. the indictment also ties them to an attack on nonunion workers at a toys "r" us are people were beaten with baseball bats and had to go to the hospital. >> what century is this? this sounds like something out of the pennsylvania coal fields.

unions still have problems. >> yeah, it is. and i was surprised to see the indictment happened. what i found out basically is for four decades, at least, the construction trade unions, not just iron workers, have been totally dominating the industry. they do it through violence, vandalism, harassment and i've talked to people who have been shot at. it's very scary stuff. they've gotten away with it. >> how is that, exactly? if organized labor turns criminal, it's organized crime, by definition. why isn't the justice department on this? >> well, it is this time. there are all kinds of federal protections for unions. probably the most notable is 1973 edmunds ruling says you cannot prosecute or investigate a union for criminal activity under the hobbs act, unless it's engaged in quote/unquote

legitimate union business. f so what's so unique is they're making the argument that the iron workers were no longer engaged in union business. . that will be interesting in court. it's not unheard of. but it's rare to attack it. it's like a mafia organization. >> how sad. i mean, there's so many decent union members, especially in the construction trades. i know a ton of them. they're not hacks. they're not bad people. they're just working men. they're discredited by behavior like this. >> yeah, it gives them a bad name. if you go into philadelphia and you're talking to people in the construction trades and you mention unionism, i mean, the wall comes up. it's something that is definitely an agent of fear there, and i think that's a purposeful image they projected in philadelphia but it's definitely not the p.r. that the unions want. >> you said the feds have jumped in on this. what about the city of philadelphia. if you're the mayor, how could you not vp known about this? >> that's the question.

the indictment hints that maybe the b next round of what they're looking into will focus on the political actors. when i was talking to people there, they felt the unions are heavy campaign donors. they definitely have political connections. >> yeah. >> and also, you know, a lot of times police wouldn't investigate it very thoroughly. again, exceptions. i knew cops looking it very intensely. in philadelphia, you can break down the reports. you can look at how many convictions. how many even arrests and it's disproportionate. >> something to do with the fact that big city police departments are by and large unionized? >> that's what a lot of skrrts think. that's what they think. >> it's the brotherhood of labor. gillian, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. coming up, dogs have been man's best friend for 30,000 years. now scientists think they know why. the dogs can actually understand you. we are not making this up. we have the science behind your dog. stay tuned.

information help us as people, as pet owners? as people try to be good people to us? >> it helps us in a number of ways. it reframes our perspective with our relationship with animals. it's time to take us seriously. they are members of the family. they do have feelings. you also don't have to own a pet to have this experience and relationship with animals. this extends to pigs, chickens, things like that, too. >> dr. salk, this dog is trying to talk. >> it's having a love affair with this chihuahua. he has been the block and eyes. >> incidentally, these two gus and pierre are both available for adoption. i believe you will have links on your website. so they are having a relationship. which is exactly what's going on. these animals have relationships. oftentimes, they're members of the family. it's sadly when we are going through our own distress that people discard their animals, they're feel guilty. they think homes elsewhere are

better. it's not the case. >> can we go over here and see what happens? >> absolutely. how about this lig dolg, does he smell the fear on me right now? >> you have to ask him, her. >> she's shaken. she must be scared of me. i can tell. >> they feel, they sense, sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. >> we know when pet owners go to the hospital and so forth, my daughter was in the hospital dealing with heart issues a few years ago, our australian sheperd at my parent's house would sit by the door. >> so this has been going on since millennium. dogs have evolved along with people, right? why this intense symbiotic relationship with dogs and people of all animals? why just dogs? >> it isn't just dogs. it is pigs and animals as well. that's one thing to consider. however, we tend to focus on dogs because they share our homes and they are there. so utility in picking up on

social hues, evolution wants that. that helps animals survive. so they are social animals. they understand when we're upset, when we're angry and they pick it up. in some ways, that's why they're so therapeutic because they feel what we feel. we don't feel alone. >> how important is it doing this in general? they can sniff our seizures in some cases. >> i think it's all important. >> cancer. >> these studies are keeping, using animals in a way they are consenting and compareing them to humans in a way that is not against the will of animals, it's a different kind of an pal research. >> this is the most intense dog i think in my life. it's an unbelievable dog. >> i think if a dog were telling this story or doing the research, they would say 99.9% of species on this planet are not human. humans are joining us now in understanding. >> unbelievable.
