is anybody really buying her story? we're going to report and you decide. good softballs, david. >> dale earnhardt jr. wins his second daytona 500 about five minutes ago. >> we have all the highlights on nascar's biggest race. plus why do so many people -- why so many people thought jimmy johnson was the winner. mornings are better with friends, staoefplt -- friends, steve. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great reason to begin your day. >> hi everybody. welcome to studio e in the heart of midtown manhattan. right now it is 40 degrees, 39 degrees, the warmest it has been so far this year.

>> so many people check their watch for the time. steve checks the window. it takes forever to do this. >> you check your temperature with your watch? >> you check the temperature? okay, i apologize. >> yeah, it's 40 degrees. >> that's for the wind. >> weather for me as well. i'm very excited here. >> why's that? >> i'm not sure. >> i know why. >> check your watch. find out why you're excited. >> ainsley is from the south. >> last week you said he was going to be in my neck of the woods. i said south carolina? you said no, nashville. you said that's several states away, brian. brian, you're getting your temperature and the clocks mixed up. you're getting your states

mixed up. take a breather. >> i did like your people in nashville. >> start with sports. >> what a great story. we were so excited when this happened last night. dale earnhardt jr. is taking a victory lap in daytona. >> waving, it's over. it's earnhardt. >> earnhardt snapping a 55-race losing streak to capture his second daytona 500. >> just trying to explain is to people, i've been trying to tell people for ten years what that felt like but it is hard to put it into word what winning this race means to you. >> ended up a night race because the victory came after a six-hour long rain delay. during that delay fox was airing last year's race and that prompted last year's winner jimmy johnson to be flooded with text messages offering congratulations to him. johnson took to twitter saying i hear i won the

daytona 500. i also have friends confused and texting to me. hash tag replay 2013. developing overnight, ukraine's acting interior minister announcing an arrest warrant for the ousted president viktor yanukovych, here is a live look at kiev this morning where at least 82 people have been killed. new details about the capture of the man known as the osama bin laden of the drug trade, wakin gusman. it was his family that did him in. authorities realize many members of the cartel were in his family. after analyzing messages sent back and forth, they found some so personal they could only be from guzman himself. now that he is captured the

fight turns to the courtroom.

>> i'm like sorry to disappoint. >> how fun for her, though. >> thank you, ainsley. all right. >> we knew it was going to happen. we didn't know when it was going to happen. we thought there was going to be negotiations before it did happen but it seems as though our current secretary of defense chuck hagel decided to recommend billions of dollars in budget cuts. it is going to not only affect some of the hardware that keeps us as the world's long super power, it's also going to hurt personnel. not only how many we have serving but how many they're getting paid. >> we have a one-year freeze on raises for the top military brass. it places limits on pay for troops, limiting troops' housing allowances. in addition to that, it also is proposed to cut any sort of subsidy for the

christmas -- commissary where they go grocery shopping as a family. >> that is going to be the big fight because after retirement the number-two thing people in the military worry about is the subsidy for commissaries where they get their groceries, very near and dear to military's heart. right now the government subsidizes. right now hagel's suggestion is to reduce that to $500 million. essentially you're hacking off two-thirds of it. you're going to hack off a lot of military people. during election year, is this really smart politics? apparently the white house is a. okay with it. >> you've got to see the rest of the world as covering it. the russian news is making a big deal of it. it backs up that underlying thought that america is in retreat. this is something that should be renegotiated almost immediately. i know sequester started

it. it was supposed to be so prohibitive that the republicans were supposed to say we can't do sequester. in the end the military is staring them down and taking it in the solar phrebg sis. this is -- plexis. >> we spent the day yesterday with a family at west point so it is a tender topic for me today. to have uncertainty on the back end when they come back to this nation after fighting and laying down their lives for us, some uncertainty this combined with the front-end cut here, i can only imagine how that can affect morale. >> no kidding. speaking of morale, it's just shortly after the benghazi attack on september 11 of 2012 that susan rice showed up on all five morning talk shows on a sunday and said we've looked into it, and it was all caused by a video. well, the c.i.a. knew it

was terrorism. they told the white house it was terrorism. mike morrell who was a big shot at the c.i.a. at that point massaged the talking points and took out any mention of terror. nonetheless in a big exclusive yesterday on "meet the press" susan rice sat down for a softball interview with david gregory and he asked her if she had any regrets -- remember she could have had a big job as secretary of state and instead she's working at the white house as national security advisor. any regrets? here's what she said. >> do you have regrets? >> david no because what i said to you that morning and what i did every day since was to share the best information we had at the time. the information i provided, which i explained to you was what we had at the moment, it could change, i commented that this was based on what we knew on that morning, was provided to me and my colleague and indeed to congress by the intelligence community. and that's been well

validated in many different ways since. and that information turned out in some respects not to be 100% correct. but the notion that somehow i or anybody else in the administration misled the american people is patently false and i think that's been amply demonstrated. >> it was pointed out we now know the director of the c.i.a. station chief at the time had a misleading tone. this whole situation that was pushed this week that the revelations that mike morrell, the deputy c.i.a. director, may be working with the white house to come up with talking points, initially blamed the f.b.i. for those talking points but all that story coming forward on friday with susan rice there whenever they taped it on sunday, that might have been the perfect opportunity to say how do you feel now about either being thrown to the lions

or collaborating to spread the mistruth. >> chris wallace was asking why she wouldn't appear on "fox news sunday." here he is. >> we wanted to ask the obama administration about the prices in ukraine but they decided to put national security advisor susan rice on only one show today in her first sunday appearance since 2012 when she blamed the benning terror attack on re -- the benghazi terror attack on reaction to an antiislammic video. perhaps susan rice didn't want to answer the tough questions we would have asked. >> and he would ask tough questions. david gregory, no mention of hillary clinton handling the attack. she's clearly going to run for president. mike morrell now works for an operation run by a hillary clinton hillary clinton spokesperson. >> right now it is 42 degrees. how do i know that? i have a wristwatch that

tells the temperature as well as the time. >> later on today brian will go over to times square. he will pull that all the way up. it will be lined with watches. >> i'm looking to make a sale. >> in times square. you need to put one backwards. >> are we still on? >> he just sat here for 12 minutes helping out. thank you for joining us on this monday morning. coming up, a woman with cancer shares her obama nightmare on television. >> my insurance was canceled because of obamacare. now the out-of-pocket costs is unaffordable. if i do not receive my medication, i will die. >> now some democrats calling her a liar. she joins us next to set the record straight. >> what happens when budget cuts wipes out an entire fire department? one man forced to fight an

a michigan mother battling leukemia is now being called a liar by a democratic lawmaker after voicing her concerns about obamacare in this ad. watch. >> my insurance was canceled because of obamacare. now the out-of-pocket costs are so high, it's unaffordable. if i do not receive my medication, i will die. i believe the president. i believed i could keep my health insurance plan. i feel lied to. it's heart breaking for me. congressman peter, your decision to vote for obamacare jeopardized my

health. >> that last part is what's really bugging some democrats. julie boonster joins us from michigan. thanks for getting up so early. >> good morning. >> you have leukemia. you believed the president when he said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. but your health insurance got canceled because of obamacare. and you had to scramble to find a new policy. what is your big problem right now? you have found a new policy with premiums of $1-rbg -- premiums of $1,100 a month. what is your big problem? >> my old policy was 1,100 a month. my new pocket is 568. it is the out-of-pocket expense. under my old policy i knew what i could afford every single month because i wasn't hit with extra charges. now i don't know what i have to pay month to month

based on that out-of-pocket expense. leukemia tests are extremely expensive, and i just don't have the $5,000 or $6,000 in the bank to cover that expense. >> it's the uncertainty, not knowing about the out-of-pocket expense that prompted you to run that particular commercial. the part where you say that congressman gary peters who is running for levin's open senate seat in michigan, his decision to vote for the law jeopardized my health. now obviously your commercial is so potent and so powerful, congressman peters has written to tv stations essentially calling you a liar and saying your ad is false. the law is right, you have an obligation to the tv stations to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising. failure to prevent the airing of false and misleading advertising may be prohibitive of an underlying abdication of

licensee responsibility that can be the cause for the loss of a station's license. essentially what he's saying, julie, is if you don't take that off you're going to lose your license because you are a lying. are you, julie, lying about your situation sph >> i am not lying. i lost my health care plan due to the implementation of obamacare, and i do not have $5,000 or $6,000 in the bank. >> sure. >> i was lied to. >> you were lied to by? >> the president of the united states. he lied to me. he lied to everyone by telling us that if we had a health care plan that we liked, we could keep it. i had a health care plan that i liked, and i lost it. >> you did indeed. now it's the uncertainty of the out of pocket that scares you. what's your message to congressman peters's lawyers who are trying to scare tv stations into not running your ad? >> you know, i'm very upset with them for trying to

stop my ad. they're not scaring me. cancer scares me. the growth of my cancer, you know, possibly losing my life over this; that scares me. i battle cancer every day. they're not going to intimidate me. >> well, good. >> i have my first amendment right, my freedom of speech, and i will stand behind that. >> julie boonstra, we're thanking you very much for joining us from michigan. good luck with your fight. >> thank you. >> we did ask congressman peters to join us. he has not responded. we'd love to talk to him. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. kid getting knows why. some are even paralyzed and now there are fears polio could be making a comeback. remember that? the best and the worst of the olympics. we have all the highlights

cosponsors on this and marco rubio is going to pick it up in the senate. has any democrat said i'm with you, congressman? >> no democrats endorsed the bill but i don't think they are in opposition. i think this goes to the heart of what the american public believes, that their government should be held accountable and shouldn't discriminate are be punitive. >> what i love about what your abuse week is is a lot of our talking points. people want answers. what are the things you're covering sph >> we're going to have hearings continuing issues on the i.r.s. we'll look at the freedom of information act. the president stated he was going to be one of the most transparent administrations but they have not been that. we're not getting the information we need on tarp. >> where the money went or how much money we went back. >> general motors. those are areas we need to pursue and they should be available to the american public. >> if you are indefatigablo on this, you get answers. if you guys keep pushing we might get answers. congressman, thanks so

will the president keep his offer? donald trump to weigh in. four americans dead. susan rice went on five shows to blame a video. she must have some re grets, right? wrong. >> the notion that i or somebody in the administration misled people is patently false. i think that that's been amply demonstrated. >> is anyone really buying that story? we'll report. you decide. steve. >> thank you very much. dale earnhardt jr. wins his second daytona 500. >> checkered flag waving. it's over. it's earnhardt. >> and this morning he's doing his victory lap right here live on "fox & friends." excellent! thanks for joining us on this monday morning because mornings are always better with friends. it's time for "fox & friends."

gotcha. well, welcome back. a big hour coming your way including a billionaire waiting in the wings. >> we have two. >> we have two hours. >> one billionaire, two hours. >> it seems like this is the second hour. one hour after that. >> we're like the minnow. it's a ♪ three hour tour >> very good. >> the weather started getting tough. >> the people got tossed. >> thanks, guys. let me tell you what you missed overnight. developing overnight, ukraine's acting interior minister announcing an arrest warrant for the ousted president, viktor yanukovych. he's wanted on charges that he murdered protesters. here's a live look at kiev this morning where at least 82 people have been killed. yanukovych fled the city.

he was seen in the russian peninsula. >> dale earnhardt jr. is taking a victory lap in daytona. >> checkered flag waiving. it's oefrg. >> earnhardt snapped a 55 race losing streak to capture his second daytona 500. >> trying to explain what that feeling is to people. i've been trying to tell people for ten years what that felt like and it's hard to put it in words what winning this race really means to you. >> i'm sure his dad would be proud. the victory coming after a six-hour long rain delay. during that rain delay fox aired last year's race which led to last year's winner judge being flooded with text messages. johnson took to twitter saying, i hear i won the daytona 500. i also have friends confused and texting congratulations to me #2013replay. earnhardt is going to be joining us in about 15 minutes. looking forward to that. the organizers of the sochi

olympics closing ceremony, they have a sense of humor. the dancers portraying the five olympics rings had so much fun with the opening ceremony malfunction when one ring on the right didn't open, didn't quite make it. only this time the group eventually did led the fifth ring bloom and the audience laughed with that. piers morgan's show on cnn is getting the axe. pierce morgue kban live could end next month. he replaced larry king six months ago. he's been routinely beaten by cable competitors in the 9:00 p.m. hour and those are your headlines. thank you. some with larry king, it's just laughing. >> you have to be, right, because he was going to change the way you do interviews. >> sure. donald trump is here. donald, how are you processing the loss of piers morgan? >> well, i had a lot to do with

piers. i've always thought he was a great guy. very smart guy. didn't catch on but he was a very, very smart guy. >> it seems like in the papers they kind of blamed his sensibilities. he has british sensibilities. in the united states doing an american talk show. it never worked. >> that's a possibility. it certainly is. he's talking about american things and he has that very strong and very delicate british accent. i know him long and i know him well and i know him in battle because he was really battling on "the apprentice." he was a very smart guy. he's a good guy. >> donald, let me ask you this. leadership is nothing strange to you. you've excelled at that. our nation's leader meeting with all the governors.

minimum wage going to be at the center of discussion. so you're a governor. what would you bring to him? you're the president, what advice would you take? >> well, first of all, elisab h elisabeth, you're using leader. we don't have a leader in this country. everything we're doing in this country is just not going properly. there's no deals being made. there's nothing happening. obamacare is a mess and nobody's fixing it. nobody knows how to fix it. so we don't have a leader. so when you say, you know, would you -- you just can't refer to the president as a leader. he is not the leader of this country because he gets nothing done. he's sitting in office and doing nothing. >> we know he put out a budget that has nothing to do with entitlement reforms. it's incomprehensible. he's upset about the positions. if i put you in that room, what would be your message knowing everything that you said and what you believe? >> well, the message in this country is jobs.

look, there are so many messages. you could -- we could be on the show all day long and talk about messages. look what's happening to the world around us. the world is blowing up, but going back to this country, the message is jobs. other countries are taking our jobs. we keep talking about our unemployment rate, which is a real disaster. our real rate is probably 21, 22, maybe even 24%, and the message for this country would be that we have to get our people back to work. we have to take jobs away from foreign countries that we've given. we've just handed them our jobs. we have to do something quickly. we have to do something about obama care. that's affecting jobs but it's affecting things even more important than jobs. and people are losing their plans. they're losing their doctors. they have no health insurance. i mean, many, many people are now unable to get health insurance and the health insurance they have, if they get it, is not nearly as good as what they used to have. we have to do something about obamacare. but he's the kind of a guy that

won't do it. he'll just sit there. even if you said fix it, he doesn't fix t. he issues orders about doing little things to try and help it along. it's a disaster. it's causing tremendous problems in the country beyond what people are even reporting. >> right. before the election of course there was the disaster at our benz consulate where four brave americans wound up being murdered by libyans. the cia knew it was not because of that video and yet that was the story thats white house remember just a couple of weeks before the election was pushing. susan rice went out on five sunday chat shows and knew it wasn't. yesterday she was on "meet the press" and she was asked by david gregory and asked if she had any regregts. if you missed it, here's what she said. >> do you have any regrets? >> david, no. because what i said to you that morning and what i did every day

since was to share the best information that we had at the time. the information i provided, which i explained to you was what we had at the moment, it could change, i commented that this was based on what we knew on that morning, was provided to me and my colleagues and, indeed, to congress by the intelligence community, and that's been well validated in many different ways since. and that information turned out in some respects not to be 100% correct, but the notion that somehow i or anybody else in the administration misled the american people is patently false and i think that that's been amply demonstrated. >> donald trump, how could she not have regrets? she could have been secretary of state but instead she went out and told a lie. >> look, it's a big lie and now i think it's even a bigger lie after everything that's been determined. the level of arrogance and the level of lying is so incredible. benghazi unbelievably is being

taken off the front pages. it just has never resonated, but you look at the answers that she and other people are giving and it's disgraceful. and it's a big, fat, juicy lie and now she continues to say it in spite of all of the evidence. it really is hard to believe. hard to believe -- it's hard to believe that they can get away with it. >> you're right. >> just a couple of days after e-mail suggested that the deputy cia director was in -- was having conversations with the white house about drumming up these notes and these talking points. >> well, and many other things. and you know that she can sit there on a program that was taken this weekend and done this weekend and look in the face of david gregory and just absolutely lie right to his face, and by the way, why is he not questioning it? >> right. >> you know, it's just off to the next question. >> softball. >> really, really hard to believe. >> all right. mr. trump, thanks for being with

us this morning. happy monday. >> thank you very much. elisabeth zbl see you back here next monday. coming up this monday morning, congressman michael mccall is here. he's not too happy. what he has to say about cutting billions from our military. it's breaking this morning. good morning, sir. >> brian. msnbc and alec baldwin, they have broken up. now he's decided to hit the road. baldwin is firing back at personalities and at management in a way which only alec baldwin can. ♪ hit the road jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more ♪ ♪ hit the road jack, and don't you come back no more ♪ i ys say be thman with the plan

he's consider the most powerful drug man in the world,

joaquin guzman. arrested in mexico. he escaped from prison there in 2001 in a laundry basket. guzman's cartel notorious for smuggling shipments of cocaine in the united states. that's why my next guest wants him brought to justice here. congressman michael mccall is chairman of the house homeland security committee. why here, chairman? i understand we had a lot to do with his capture. >> this is the most wanted drug lord of the world. the god father of the drug cartel. killed thousands of people. the fact is he escaped from a mexican jail in 2001. my argument is he ought to be brought to the united states, put in a super max prison where he can't escape and face the ultimate criminal penalty in the united states. i'm concerned they had the lowest conviction rate in mexico. he had a 20-year sentence. we can get the ultimate maximum penalty in the united states. >> are you worried that so many

other politicians and others are compromised inside mexico that they might be motivated to get him out again? >> you have corruption in mexico. he's already escaped once. he's the most powerful man in mexico if not the world and i think the flight risk and security risk is tremendous in mexico. that's why he needs to be brought out of mexico into the united states. i think it's important for the state department to negotiate. >> are you going to push for it? >> yes. and i already have. i'm going to be talking to the ambassador about this. it's important for mexico, the united states. this cooperative effort to bring him to justice worked very well. >> i hope you get to the bottom of the tujs and systems in which it started to work. let's move on to another topic that i was disturbed to wake up to and talk about. it's leaked out. there are massive military cuts coming out. one year freeze on raises. the cut subsidies to commissaries for veterans that will be a tough hall.

raise nonurgent health care limits, limit housing allowances. get rit of the a-10 thunder bolts. cut the number of ships. tell lockheed not to make anymore of the u-2 high altitude planes. we're cutting manpower down to pre-world war ii. are you comfortable with this? >> absolutely not. this is national security. it's all being if you will, on the alternatives. this president cannot take on mandatory spending. all we have done in the congress and this president is basically cut discretionary spending. we can't testify the 3/4 of the budget piles that are mandatory. we talked about chapo guzman. the coast guard now is pulling back. all that stuff that we pushed the borders out to stop coming into the united states now is pulling back to the u.s. borders. that's one example of many that will impact our homeland security and national security.

>> unbelievable. the people that fight the wars and willingness too serve we're hurting most with pension pay, raises, things of that nature. i'm sure admirals were fall on the sword for those that are fighting for it and the benefits they sign up for. chairman, people will blame you guys for accepting sequester and these cuts came through sequester. you adjusted for two years. this is the third year down the line. should the pentagon be pushing back and making the cuts public? >> sequestration should cut spending. not to sacri phi the military readiness. the debates have been with the president. we have to be the adults in the room. he's consistently refused to do so unless we raise taxes which we did last congress and so i don't -- i see that as a nonstarter. it takes political courage to do what is right and i think the right thing to do is take on the mandatory driver spendsing. this president refuses to do that. >> we saw that in the budget that was leased. very disappointing.

>> very good to see you. >> glad we had good news to start off with. >> likewise. 18 minutes after the hour, straight ahead. critics say the girl scouts are promoting abortion. is that true? we'll take a closer look at that. just hours after winning the daytona 500, dale earnhardt jr. joins us live. ♪ ♪ >> oh, yeah! ♪ increases at the age of 80. helps reduce the risk of heart disse. increases at the age of 80. keep hrt-healthy. live long. eat the 100% goodness of post shreddedheat. doctorrecommend it.

good morning to you, dale. >> good morning. >> congratulations. >> i know you've hit a dry patch and i also understand you said yesterday it feels better the second time than the first time. explain that. >> well, when you win the first time it happens so fast and then you really can't take it all in. i don't remember much from that experience. it was such a whirlwind and such a fast week, but you're already back at the racetrack the next sunday racing for another race. so it just -- this time you're able to let it all sink in and really enjoy it with the people you care about. i've got my whole team here, my family, my girlfriend, everybody here to enjoy this with. >> that's exceptional. the delay was 6:23. mentally how does that affect your prep in terms of, a, safety, b, staying mentally ready? >> i was real confident in the car i had. we ran 38 laps before the rains came and the car was fabulous

and the car was ready to go so i was -- i was just taking it easy and really comfortable during the break. we were all confident that we were going to get the race restarted before 9:00 and so we felt like we were going to be able to get the show in on sunday for the fans. >> last year second place. this year first place. but a lot of people you came in second again. did you hear that they replayed last year's race and jimmie johnson was getting tweets congratulating him on winning? i hear i win the daytona 500? i also have friends confused and texting congratulations to me #2013replay. what's your reaction? >> we had a lot of fun with that. everybody i think at the racetrack was laughing about that. it's amazing how, you know, social media can take something running with it and it just goes and goes. but jimmie had a lot of fun with t. the real winner's right here and, you know, i'm glad that it

wasn't -- i love jimmijimmie, hy teammate. >> enough of him. he's won enough. >> yeah. >> dale, is it possible to win that race and not think about your dad? >> i always think about that, you know? i think he lost his life here so when i come to the racetrack i'm always reminded of that and that's always something in the back of your mind when you're in daytona for the race especially. you know, it's a great racetrack. i love this place, the history that it has and it means a lot to me personally to be here, to race here and to win here is just even more special. >> sure. >> so it means a lot. >> tell us -- okay. so you have the rain and the gigantic delay. but talk a little bit about the chaos because toward the end -- near the end there were 42 different lead changes. that's a lot of chaos. >> yeah. i -- you know, i can't remember a daytona 500 in recent history where i've raced this hard and i

don't know that the competitors, my fellow competitors have raced this hard. we were all just running really close and really tight on each other and really pushing the limits of all our talents to try to keep the lead, try to maintain the lead, take the lead, try to stay toward the front. everybody was really, really asking a lot of each other in close quarters throughout that whole race. >> how do you celebrate today after you're done talking to everybody about it? what do you do? >> i'm going to be talking about this and doing media all the way up through thursday. we had -- we had about an hour sleep last night. we got up this morning. we're doing media all day today until about lunch and then we'll fly to new york, do media all day there. go to connecticut for espn and then we're going to austin, texas, and do more media. then we're going to l.a. and do more and phoenix and do more. it's going to be a long week. >> boohoo, that's what happens

victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine 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. good morning. it's monday, february 24th. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. they fight and die for this nation, but today our secretary of defense set to turn his back on the troops. details on the billions in cuts being unveiled today. and she famously blamed a video for the murders of four brave americans in benghazi but susan rice was wrong. completely wrong. she's got to have some regrets, right? >> the notion that somehow i or anybody else in the administration misled people is patently false. i think that's been amply demonstrated. >> really?

bret bahre here to weigh in on that. >> "the bible," people behind it, roma and mark are here. that's how i know. they're here. >> mornings are better with friends, i tell ya. >> hi, everybody. i'm harry lewis. stand by for the news. whenever i hear that i just crack up. >> absolutely. >> he does the news here on this channel 6:00 p.m. eastern time. we're talking about bret bahre joining us from our nation's capital. good morning. >> i just saw a news alert from someone down in the d.c. bureau. about a brand new gallup poll. america's perceptions of "prometheu president obama and his standings in the world. 53% of americans do not think he's respected by other world leaders. americans field 41% that he is respected.

that's a head scratcher right there. >> yeah. the first time gallup has had that kind of a poll for a president and that is yupside down like this. for president obama, americans think he's not respected worldwide, that's not a good sign. that's tied to a number of things. one is the tapping and listening in to foreign leaders' conversations. >> yeah. >> and that story. i think the serious situation drawing a red line and then what has happened since with syria deteriorating. and really the efforts across the globe when you look at where the u.s. is, how world leaders are responding to what the president is saying. >> i mean, i love the fact that the president talked to vladimir putin for an hour. after the olympics are over, we don't have the leverage, maybe things are changing. we let everybody else do everything. poland took the initiative along with other western european

nations to broker what happened in the ukraine. i think we have an opportunity now, bret, because we have natural gas and the ukrainians need natural gas. so we could start maybe brokering a deal and help fill the gap that the russians had in writing a check for their debt. >> yeah, brian, this is a really important time, today, the next kuj of dazyzys -- couple of day. as you know, the power vacuum when it is someplace else it changes quickly, dynamically. ukraine is a situation. the situation in kiev with president yanukovych being removed from power, the question is how fast will russia move in with a heavy hand to take an active role there? >> we also have the nation's greatest military, okay? today defense secretary chuck hagel is set to recommend billions of dollars of budget cults, year freeze on raises of top military positions, pay raises for troops, affecting commissaries and subsidies to get the limits on the troop

housing. set the stage for us. i can't imagine this will not be met with great opposition. >> yeah, i think there will be a lot of opposition from republicans and a number of democrats especially on the defense committees up on capitol hill behind me. i do think that this is -- has been part of the plan, to reduce the size of the pentagon overall, but specifically the army. if this goes through as suggested, it would be the smallest u.s. army since 1940 before the buildup of world war ii. it's interesting in "the new york times" writeup, elisabeth, it says it takes into account the fiscal reality of government austerity. "the new york times" is writing that up about this proposal and yet last week we had the washington post saying that with the president's new budget not taking entitlement reform, even change cpi which is a social security change into account, they said austerity, the era of austerity is over for this administration. so it's over in one sense but in

the sense of the military and specifically the u.s. army apparently it's not. >> all right. meanwhile, the era of regret, it apparently hasn't even started. susan rice had a big exclusive with david gregory, bret baier, yesterday on "meet the press." it was an exclusive first time since she sat down on five sunday chat shows and lied to the american people. no, no, no, nothing about terrorism, it has to do with the video. that's the reason why five great americans were murdered. david gregory gave her a chance to talk about regret. after all, xu he didn't wind up with secretary of state job because of the lying business. does she have any regrets? here's what she told mr. gregory. >> do you have any regrets? >> david, no, because what i said to you that morning and what i did every day since was to share the best information that we had at the time. the information i provided, which i explained to you, was what we had at the moment.

it could change. i commented that this was based on what we knew on that morning was provided to me and my colleagues and indeed to congress by the intelligence community. that's been well validated in many different ways since. and that information turned out in some respects not to be 100% correct, but the notion that somehow i or anybody else in the administration misled the american people is patently false and i think that that's been amply demonstrated. >> well, she did mislead the american people. bret, on your show, kathryn has been doing some great reporting talking about how mike morell who's at the cia, he essentially massaged the administration to make the administration and hillary clinton look good. >> well, yeah. she has been reporting on then deputy director of the cia, mike morell, and his role in the formulation of those talking points. essentially he was the focus.

he was the person who was making that decision and there are people on the ground who say they had nothing as far as a protest. they were putting up the chain. nothing that was -- that ended up being put in those talking points. to susan rice's defense, she was handed this piece of paper and she went out there and did it and she's saying that the intelligence community gave her the talking points. >> sure. >> so she is saying what she was given. >> but if you remember back at that time, bret, the day after she went on tv everybody goes, why did they send her out? where was hillary? well, the conventional wisdom and she said, no, i'm not going to do that. >> does she believe they gave her the entire bit of information. >> looking back, you had senator mccain on another show, "face the nation" and they played this

exact same clip and he actually laughed at the answer because he has gone through a lot of the questioning and looking at this for the past year and says that it's clear to him that there was an effort to mislead. there is an effort to call back up mikes morell -- >> good. >> -- to capitol hill to get him to answer questions that he didn't answer the first time. >> he'll have to take a day off of higgs position with philippe reins if he's going to have to go to capitol hill and testify. >> cozy. >> bret, we know you have to get ready for your big show ten hours from now. we'll all be watching. >> you could change outfits. >> free time. >> thanks, bret. >> the first one in the office. >> he goes over and makes the coffee for everybody. >> it's tradition. >> you do the same thing. >> he did. >> he knows how successful your show is and he wanted to be a part of it this morning.

>> that's why you're here. >> yes, exactly. i'll accept this invitation any morning although we miss heather. here's what you missed overnight, dale earnhardt doing a victory lap after a big win at the daytona 500. >> checkered flag waving. it's over. it's earnhardt! >> earnhardt snapped a 55 race losing streak to capture his second daytona 500. he joined us earlier on "fox & friends" to tell us why the second time was a little sweeter. >> this time you are able to let it all sink in and really enjoy it with the people you care about. i've got my whole team here, my family, my girlfriend, everybody here to enjoy this with. >> earnhardt said that he was looking forward to relaxing after getting one hour of sleep last night. on the media circuit today. developing overnight, ukraine's acting interior minister announcing an arrest warrant for ousted president viktor yanukovych. he is wanted on charges that he murdered protesters in violence

that's why he needs to be brought out of mexico into the united states. i think it'st the state department negotiate in. >> guzman is currently held in an underground cell m mexico. sheer panic. that's how a pilot describes the moment a bird smashed through his plane's window. the plane was going 170 miles per hour when the bird hit that glass. the pilot, rob webber's head was cut, but he did land the plane safely. >> it was a slap in the face, literally. i tried to duck down to the right a little bit after it happened just to try to get out of the air. >> webber says he's lucky that the bird did not come through the windshield because it would have knocked him out cold. take a look at the shirt he was wearing. it's an angry birds shirt. can you tell? those are your headlines. back to you, elisabeth. >> how did the cameraman know the bird was coming?

a couple hours from right now the governors from across the united states will arrive at the white house for a conversation with president obama. it's one of the final events of the national governor's association winter meeting. so what's on the agenda? governor mike pence of indiana will be there. he joins us from our bureau. >> good morning, steve. >> great to have you. it's a conversation with the president. >> right. >> what would you like to tell the president or make sure that he understands from your point of view in indiana? >> well, what i want to say is that i come from a state that works. i mean, the state of indiana saw 42,000 new private sector jobs created last year. we're seeing manufacturing come back. our economy is growing stronger. we have the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest and that's because we've been doing things the indiana way. so my message to the president

this morning is i'd like to see this administration take action to give states more reason and more flexibility to innovate on a broad range of issues, whether it be transportation, whether it be education, whether it be health care because indiana and a lot of other republican led states around the country are seeing growth and opportunity and jobs and educational advancement and i think empowering our state to innovate is going to be a pathway forward for our economy and for our country. >> so, governor, when you say you want the federal government to give the states more freedom -- >> right. >> -- essentially you're saying, get out of our business. >> we are in a certain sense, but it's a little more profound than that. i served for a dozen years on capitol hill. i've served for 12 months as governor of indiana. steve, i'm absolutely convinced that the cure for what ales this country will come from our

nation's state capitals than it ever will from the nation's capital. the key is to deliver a message along with other governors, including some democrats who share this view as well, that says instead of trying to solve all these intractable problems in washington, d.c., why don't you give states the opportunity to try different ideas and in indiana we have the fastest growing school choice program in the united states. we're looking to expand more innovation. we have one of the most innovative public health care programs in the country. the healthy indiana plan. allowing innovation on health care, education, transportation at the state level then see what works is really -- i think it's a part of the genius of the american experiment for more than two centuries. >> there in ind iana you have a minimum wage of $7.25. the president will bend your ears and say we need minimum wage of $10.10 per hour.

we've heard from the congressional budget office that could result in up to 1 million americans losing their job. what do you think if minimum wage goes from $7.25 to 10 point -- $10.10. >> i want every hoosier to make more. the federal government or the states can raise the minimum wage. they certainly have the ability to do that. so you can do it by mandates, but i think the better course is a combination of lifting the burden on businesses small and large. in indiana we passed the largest state tax cut in indiana history. we're considering corporate tax reductions in the corporate session of the general assembly. we've been rolling back red tape. the other piece is education. in indiana we're making an effort to make career and vocational education a priority in every high school in our state again. i mean, the jobs that the state of indiana was involved in

bringing to our state last year have an average wage of about $21 an hour. >> that's great. >> but the challenges is oftentimes finding people to fill those good paying jobs. i think lifting the burden on businesses and taxes and regulations and creating more effective and career vocational expectations is a better pathway. >> lower unemployment. a lot of jobs. good schools. you should run for president. have you thought about that? >> thanks. i'm flattered at the suggestion and i'm awfully proud of the hoosier state. i'll be honest with you, steve, i haven't spent one second over the last 13 seconds thinking about anything other than the future of the people of indiana. >> i've got a feeling there are a lot of people who would like to see you running for president. you have a great message. mike pence, the governor of the great state of indiana.

how do you do a series and in the middle of it say, this should be a movie? and do the movie and a series. how do you pull that off? >> this is the story of jesus. he deserves a big screen. to see it in community, larger than life. his life story from humble birth, death, resurrection. he hasn't been on the big screen in almost 50 years since the greatest story ever told. we shot additional footage and it's absolutely beautiful. >> for the people who saw the mini series, which was ten hours in length, this is going to be different. they're going to see things they did not see in the tv show? >> this starts off at revelation with john and john's making a very clear statement in the beginning with the word and the word was with god, the word was god. makes a clear statement that jesus was both human and god on earth. >> and as you go on in it, it's interesting because you start

there, like divinity, then you literally by the time of the crucifixion, you're in love. you feel so loved. was that your goal? >> absolutely. we wanted that humanity in the story. we want the people who already believe and love jesus will fall in love with him all over again and people who don't know him will have a chance to discover him and start maybe a bigger conversation which, you know, will be encouraging around the kitchen table, around the water cooler. >> but you have different ear ras -- eras. you have different secretats. >> great question. amazing how we have full catholic support. southern baptist. assemblies of god. we took a long time to meet with

he replaced larry king years ago and has routinely been beaten by all the competitors in the 9:00 p.m. hour. say so long to piers. remember when eric holder tracked james rosen's e-mails and phone calls? get ready. let's take a legal look at it with jay secelo. jay, first off, about this attempt to amend this portion of our law. do you like the attempt? >> i don't like the result of the attempt. let me tell you why. this is a pattern that the department of justice and frankly the obama administration is engaged in. they over reach. they get caught. they apologize. and then they sort of amend the rules so it doesn't look as bad.

in this case what d.o.j. says in most circumstances they won't do that kind of broad scope attempt to get information and intimidate the media. they're not going to do that anymore in most cases but if the integrity of the investigation is at play, then they can do it. why don't you just follow through with normal criminal procedure as far as getting information, respect the first amendment, understand the fourth amendment search and seizure and due process rather than the drag net which seems to be the government's approach about everything whether it was the fcc last week, then they roll back their news monitor program. i mean, this is a constant pattern. so while it's a step in the right direction, it shouldn't have been a step that was necessary in the first place and it certainly doesn't solve the problem. >> if i'm involved in a story that the government says they want to find out who my source is to that story, what changes if this goes through? in what way am i better protected today? >> well, it's supposed to be

that your employer, fox, would be notified and could raise objections. however, if this is a situation where the integrity of the investigation could be impacted, whatever that means, that's such a broad loophole that you could drive a mack truck through it. it makes the rest of the law meaningless. the integrity of the investigation. again, just comply with the existing constitutional standards and all of this could have been avoided but, again, this was the typical overreach. it really gives -- i don't think it gives any protection. i'm not the only one saying this. there's law professors at leading universities saying this didn't go anywhere. it didn't change the gamut. what happened here is the department of justice got caught. they've been embarrassed. they've been the most aggressive in going after reporters in the last 30 years and the end result of that has been a significant push back from lawyers like the aclj, law professors, people involved in the media like news

corp, fox, and others and a.p. so i think the end result here, brian, is it's a step but it's not a step that closes the problem. >> you're here talking about it on a national morning show. the people of the a.p. should weigh in as well. what could we do to toughen this up to straighten it out? >> i think congress has to maintain its continued oversight of these agencies that seem to be allowed to run without any rudder. they go wherever they want to go whenever they want to go. when is you need congressional oversight. i think news media organizations could challenge these regulations. i think we'll see what happens with implementation. what they did to fox's james rosen and his family, what they did with a.p., there is no excuse for this. eric holder, the attorney general with all due respect to his office can apologize all he wants. an apology doesn't solve the problem. again, the overreach was obvious. they got caught. they do this modification. >> got it.
