clothing. if i did that, i would forget thing like shoes and a tie. >> he sleeps in a vest. >> so i can roll out of bed. i can also play a bank teller. it works good for me. we have a lot to discuss today including huge news out of arizona. >> two minutes past the hour. reaction pouring in to governor jan brewer's decision to veto a bill denied to protect religious rights. it would have allowed businesses to deny service based on religious beliefs. >> the governor said it is two divisive. crowds burst into cheers as brewer vetoed a message that would have allowed local businesses to deny service to gays and lesbian customers citing religious beliefs while supporters of the bill said it was meant to safeguard religious freedoms, opponents say it would lead to discrimination while impacting the state's

economy. brewer said it would have had unintended consequences. >> i sincerely believe senate bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. religious liberty is a core american and arizona value. so is -- >> not everybody agrees. the sponsor of the family research council says the law was needed. he says it clarifies the state's position and protects religious freedom. >> unfortunately this is how fundamental freedoms are trampled. you create a stampede by spooking politicians and the public with misinformation. but when the dust settles and the hired guns on the left go away, the people of arizona are going to realize they were hoodwinked. >> the governor says she protects religious freedoms when there's, quote, specific and present concerns but this bill did

not prove business owners religious liberties, she says, were being violated. >> thanks, elizabeth. yesterday an outrage came on twitter and the senate floor. senator harry reid under fire for his statements against obamacare victims. >> this isn't the first time harry reid has been the good cop, bad cop playing bad cop for the obama administration. he did it for mitt romney on the tax thing. he would not let up on that. it seems answering the clarion call on these people on these antiobamacare ad. are these real people out there? are these real people with real problems? senator harry reid took to the floor yesterday and said these are fake. watch. >> there's plenty of horror stories being told. all of them are untrue. but those tales turned out to be just that.

tales. stories made up from whole cloth. lies distorted by republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements. >> clayton, when he came up and brought that thing up about mitt romney, by the way, everybody knows mitt romney doesn't pay taxes. he doesn't even know mitt romney. unsubstantiated claims. again unsubstantiated claims. all made up. really? listen. >> when i called and found out ours was being canceled, from there trying to kind of work through that healthcare.gov and just running into glitch after glitch, a dozen different glitches just trying to fill out the application. >> my doctors are no longer available in my network. this is delaying all my treatment and surgery. most people that get breast cancer don't wait this long to have a surgery. >> premiums went through the ceiling when the affordable care act was instated january 1. >> coupled with not being able to afford it, they

were not going to cover his physical therapy, which he needs. >> what about the 6.2 million people that lost their policies? is that made up? >> those brave americans that are actually bringing their stories and those are just a few we've actually talked to here. >> they're not actors? >> these are real people that had the courage to stand up. that is not an easy thing to do. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell yesterday on the kelly files, this is what he said. >> these people all across america who are losing their policies, whose premiums are going up, whose kpaeuplts -- copayments and deductibles are going up are not making this up. and no amount of harry reid calling everybody a liar changes the facts. why in the world would people be calling us with these stories tpw they were not true? >> harry reid walking it back saying -- i don't know if he regretted what he was saying but he started to walk it back, some of these comments and put the blame

on a lot of money coming into these ads, the ko*ebg brothers and others and blaming republicans for that, calling them un-american. take a listen. >> i can't say that everyone -- every one of the koch brothers ads are a lie but i'll say this. the vast, vast majority of them are. it is time the american people spoke out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers who are about as un-american as anyone i can imagine. >> let's talk about -- elisabeth, let's talk about the people and the ads. do the koch brothers have money? yes? do they have a point of view. let's look at the donors and where they rank. >> let's look at facts which harry reid possibly should have noted. do you see the koch brothers here number one? you do not. these are the top all-time donors from 1989 to 2014. number one act pwhrao*urbgs

probably democratic. two, strongly democratic here. at&t. where are the koch brothers? 59. somehow harry reid found the ability to put the blame on them for twisting the minds of americans who then lie with their obamacare struggles. >> how do you go on the senate floor and emphatically state that this is a fact and then a few seconds later walk it back saying i don't know whether that was a fact or not but i'm going to use my time here on the senate floor. i'm the senate majority leader. >> he keeps getting reelected. they keep electing him as majority leader. nothing gets done on the senate. he never tries to bring everybody together. he's the biggest affordable care act supporter, yet he doesn't see the problems. even hillary clinton said there are problems that need to be fixed with this. on top of that, the worst thing he said in the middle of the surge, everybody knows the war is lost. he never paid the price for that. he won reelection after that. >> he is going to be the

party of truth, in the lack of expediting when it comes to finding the truth when it comes to benghazi, i.r.s., as you mentioned. we're going to have issues here. twitter last night, my ipad was dancing on my counter with the reaction to his comments and the stories that are real speak truth. >> you've got to turn that vibrate setting off. >> he's the guy to tell you how. >> tech master. >> go to facebook and twitter this morning. you can weigh in on that and more. first let's go to heather. >> got tough questions for you today before you go. we're getting a list. good morning to you all. hope you're off to a great day. we've got breaking news. flight attendants freaking out when their plane starts filling up with smoke. take a look at this. >> we cannot breathe back here. go! >> boy, that delta flight just landed in oakland, california, when the cabin started filling up with smoke. all 75 passengers were able to get off that plane safely. no word on the source of the smoke, but as you can imagine, people there very

nervous. a powerful rainstorm bearing down on california at this hour and the winds are so strong there that they are snapping trees like twigs. the demand for sandbags right now is so high in the city of glenndora, they have already handed out more than 18,000 of them. the biggest fear this time of year, mudslides like the one that happened in conchita in 2005. >> that devastating mudslide leaving ten people dead in that area. this member of congress opted out of obamacare when his private health insurance plan was canceled. now he's running for the united states senate. corey gardener will challenge mark udall for his senate seat. the republican front-runner dropping ouftd rate and supporting gardener. he'll break the stranglehold democrats have

they survived a terror attack at fort hood to be denied the purple heart they deserve all because the department of defense refused to classify the assault as anything but workplace violence. now those soldiers being hit with more bad news. their live expenses are set

to skyrocket. sergeant lunsford was shot seven times in that attack, not able to get the benefits he deserves and now this. how does this resonate with you? i'm talking about the proposed budget cuts and what it means to people like you? >> with the budget cuts that are coming down for our current service members, it is very detrimental to them. it's basically showing them they're not worth that much. in terms of war, this is like being a body being expendable, g.i. issue. it is sad because when we join the military they say we're family strong first as far as army component. with everyone else, it kind of makes you wonder is this a choice we really should make and that's a large because we do need to defend our standard of living in our country. >> quickly, 9/11 we had a different enemy than we had

on september 10. the only thing we know is we're not ready to fight any battle let alone the one that could be looming. sergeant, in particular, those who were victims at fort hood, you guys are already fighting to change the status of the attack. what does this do now? >> now i feel that with the budget cuts they're going to bring down, they're going to use that as an excuse not to change. they're going to use that as an excuse saying we don't have the funds to give you benefits that we're supposed to get. and it's really a sad thought but we're not going to fade away. we're still going to push the issue. we're still going to make sure that not only the fort hood family get all of the benefits they deserve, but the other veterans that are also in the same situation that we're in as well. >> it's going to be unbelievable if they are making these cutbacks, and we hope fort hood is not one of the bases that gets cut out because they are going to be closing military bases. i have no idea the criteria

for that. think about all the soldiers that are going to flood into that community now looking for jobs as civilians because the -- to keep them employed. >> they are going to flood the job market at a rapid pace. if you look at history, one of the things that was said before by a famous general, the more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war. just because we're winding down a war does not necessarily mean we need to lessen our standard of our national defense. now is the time to recharge our batteries, to look at lessons learned, to pump more money into our military so that we won't be faced with the same actions that we were faced with before during 9/11. >> sergeant, here you are overcoming being shot seven times, and we've had you on before. are you guys organizing to make your voices heard besides shows like this one? >> yes, we are. hopefully within the next couple of months we are trying to organize a

congressional hearing so that we can voice our opinion and get the thought and mind of our congressmen and our senators and me personally, ones who are not prior service, ones who have not taken the time to go visit our troops. ones who have not taken the time to go see our military bases or to sit down and talk to the families of the deployed soldiers, the wives of deployed soldiers orchids of deployed soldiers, and then to remind them every night they lay their heads down in their homes, when they go to the malls with their families, remember the sacrifice being paid by service members in uniform. >> absolutely. and the guy that shot you seven times, allah akbar, one of the most evil members of al qaeda but yet still looked at as workplace violence. sergeant lunsford, thank

amid massive cuts to the military budget, president obama is calling for a whopping $300 billion more for infrastructure development. president obama says the nation's transportation system is facing a funding crisis. in an about-face, the marines returning to the long and proud tradition of letting our heroes bare their arm, the practice of rolling up sleeves was eliminated in 2011. starting march 9 the marines can show off their guns again. elisabeth? >> love that. thanks, clayton. the f.d.a. wrapping up hearings on a controversial fertility method that combines d.n.a. from three parents instead of the traditional two. the benefit? it helps eliminate genetic diseases. but is this opening up the door to demand designer babies? we're going to find out with a great debate. dr. david stevens, c.e.o. of the christian medical association and dr. arthur kaplan is with n.y.u. medical center. both join me now. let's start with the general benefits. the benefits are known.

it has to do with the mitro condria. dr. stevens? >> it can help babies that have this problem but there is the unknown danger. in some animal models we know this is causing behavior problems, growth problems, fertility problems. we don't know what is going to happen in humans. secondly, it crosses a bright ethical line. we're going to have to cannibalize one embryo to help another, destroy one human being to assist another. then we open the line to what you're talking about, designer babies. essentially we're messing with eggs and sperm. what happens with doing that is that you pass on the genetic things you do from generation to generation, and then where do you draw the line? we're going to help 600 base. what about children that may have a risk for diabetes?

don't we need to be doing this for them? before long you're into the designer children business. >> you're presenting an ethical case. scientifically, dr. kaplan, what are we looking at in terms of benefits? >> benefits are strong. i think good ethics corrects good facts so let me present something. you take them out of eggs and give them to other eggs. then and only then would you fertilize that transplanted egg to see if you can create a child without these diseases. no embryo destruction here. i think a lot of people feel worried about that. that isn't part of this. good benefits? by doing mitrochrondria transplants, you can allow families to have children who know they have had still borns, many, many miscarriages. i wouldn't hold those families hostage, wouldn't hold them hostage to worries about what's going to happen down the road, where do we draw the line.

that's asking an awful lot from someone who says i'd like to have a healthy baby. >> dr. stevens, hearing that, if this is indeed an extraction, doesn't kill an embryo that's in existence, if indeed it could help someone, what is your concern there? that we're playing down god down the road, we are playing god with the potential of having three parents right away creating a designer baby without any sort of problem at all? >> well, we don't know whether there are going to be problems or not. two of the three methods used to do this do destroy embryos. but this is unnecessary. families can adopt children. they can do embryo adoption. we also now have two studies showing how we can actually cure, perhaps cure this disease, inserting mitrochondri into cells using bone marrow stem cells or using enzymes. there's other ways to solve this problem without opening the door to germ

line manipulation, something prohibited in science all over the world until the present time. >> dr. caplan, last word? >> i understand the concern about where we might go. i'm going to worry about that when we get there. i think we can come up with techniques that respect life, helps families create new children. there are safety issues where they need more research. i think this experiment ought to go forward. it is in the best interest of families who want to have healthy kids. >> we thank you both for being with "fox & friends." >> my pleasure. >> let us know what you think about that. twitter, facebook and e-mail. coming up, guys, your biological clock may be ticking. a study revealing serious problem older men are passing to their babies. a exist to the keystone pipeline debate. democrat senator barbara boxer says it causes cancer. keeping up with these two is more than a full time job

>> big katy perry news this morning. not the fact that she broke up with john maher. i think again. >> i thought those two were meant for each other. >> that is not the news of the morning. in that video "dark horse" muslim groups are outraged over the guy you see with the necklace around his neck. it says allah apparently. there it is. it's even kind of hard to see. she is depicted as a fickle egyptian queen. she is fickle. lightning strikes this guy wearing this allah necklace and he collapses into a pile of sand. meanwhile everyone else in the video collapses into a pile of sand. >> muslims are asking her to perhaps take this video down. there is a petition, 60,000 people out so far blasting her release calling it blasphemy.

>> they say you can compare the ceiling to somebody burning a picture of somebody you love dearly. the problem is in ancient egypt they say the video, they say the fact that islam didn't exist in ancient egypt is what confuses them as to why they felt they need to have anything to do with islam in the video. >> katy perry issued a statement saying all i was trying to do was give a beautiful performance about a place i have so much love for and find so much beauty in with no other thought beside it. >> what a prop budget she has. this is just one music video. >> let's give her the benefit of the doubt. >> certainly i think religion is something always hot in the hearts of people. so there's outrage here. thousands asking in this petition -- >> 60,000. >> probably counting. there are those asking where is the outrage about christians being persecuted? where are those people? the incidents we've been

seeing are outrageous. june 2009 -- >> in nigeria 59 were massacred on monday in their sleep by muslims against christians. they weren't watching a movie video at the time. >> these are the numbers here. harassment of christians in the countries that are reporting incidence of them. these are the ones we know about, in 2012, 110 of them. it certainly is something that brings outrage to many. the most oppressive nations now according to research, north korea, somalia, syria, iraq and afghanistan. is it a risky move of katy perry to go there with this video? should we be more vocal about the oppression for christians as well? >> i have a different take. who cares about a music video when people in those countries are being massacred, killed, churches burned and houses destroyed? as opposed to a symbol on a music video no one sees. mtv doesn't even use music

videos anymore. >> i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. i'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she had no idea that the guy was wearing the prop. >> she expresses her intention. if her intention is not bad, no malintent, we have to understand. >> this fictional music video that continues to make no sense. i can never figure out music videos. i don't think that was necessary. >> you're still trying to figure out losing my religion by r.e.m. >> or papa don't preach by madonna. that i understood. it was like a mini play. >> madonna was the daughter tired of being dictated to. >> go to our facebook page, "fox & friends." help us out, please. >> good morning, guys. 36 minutes after the hour.

years. researchers found a child born to a 45-year-old father compared to a 24-year-old dad was three times more likely to have autism, 13 times more likely to have adhd, 25 times more likely to be bipolar and twice as likely to have schizophrenia. this is video you have to see to believe. two guys in those wing suits flying past christ the redeemer statue in britain. look at this. the two daredevils making that jump from about 6,500 feet. they landed safely. and what was the first thing they did? what do you think? what do you think? >> they prayed. >> drank a beer. look at that. >> they earned it. >> how close they get. nerve wracking. see you in a little bit. >> we're going to be dropping maria out of an airplane later this morning. >> and this is the first time she's hearing it.

analyst judge andrew napolitano. good to see you. does this court ruling create potential for abuse by police? >> yes, it does, and i'm not happy about it, and those of us who believe the constitution means what it says shouldn't be happy about it. here's what happens. police are called to a house because of a domestic disturbance. they knock on the door and there is a man and a woman. they say can we come in? the woman says yes. the guy says no. >> yes wins. >> at that point no wins. the law before this case was if anybody says no, it's no. the guy gets in a fight with the police. the police drag him out. he's arrested. they go back to the house and they say can we come in? it's just the lady there. she says yes. even though the guy said no, he's no longer there. they go in, they find guns, evidence of drugs and these people are prosecuted. they moved to dismiss the charges because the police didn't have the right to come in. so before this case, if one said yes and one said no it was no. after this case if one says

yes and one says no and the one who says noes no longer there -- and the one who says no is no longer there, they can come in. the police can arrest the person who says no, get him off the scene and they are left with the person saying yes and use that as a means to get on the property. that's the danger with this decision. >> because the second man does not want to be in that situation and feel pressured. >> when you have more than one person there. they can't go to the kilmeade household and see the gardener and say can we come in and the gardener says yes and mrs. kilmeade says no. i'm making this up. it has to be someone who appears to have control over the house. it can't be the gardener. >> two people on a lease, this would be the situation if only one person is on a lease? >> from the police perspective, they don't know who owns the house. they don't know what the relationship is between these people are.

is she his visitor? is she his wife? does she own the house? is he the visitor? >> what about broader issues, cell phone searches and n.s.a. surveillance as far as relating to access to the house. >> prior to this decision two days ago the court was moving more in the direction of doing this -- i'm doing this because i know he's not crazy about this -- of -- of -- of towards government rather than towards individual privacy. the court will soon have to rule on the following issues: when you are arrested or when you are stopped for speeding, can the police take your cell phone and search it? the courts will eventually have to rule on the massive n.s.a. spying. we don't know which way they're going to go. before this case two days ago, a lot of were convinced they're going to go in the direction of privacy. this case is a u-turn. >> it was a 6-3 decision. >> wasn't even close. again, it's only in that

narrow circumstance where you have more than one person occupying the dwelling and they disagree. if they both said no, the police would have to get a search warrant. >> former director of the n.s.a. will be in our green room, michael hayden, later. >> he's a very dear friend of mine and yours. >> judge, thank you. >> coming up, should we let illegals in the country so we don't run out of maids? that is what this democrat says. take a listen. >> where are you going to get people to work in hotel rooms, clean hotel rooms or do our landscaping? >> that's about all we can handle of that right now. we're going to play the rest of that tape ahead. >> then would you ever donate money to a cause you didn't believe in? chances are you already have. wait till you hear where companies like starbucks are using their profits.

"fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> hey, this is dr. drew from celebrity rehab and you are watching "fox & friends." >> dr. drew chose that. he's got a lot of shows. >> he does. >> celebrity rehab. >> well, he was talking about you. >> yes. >> you're a recovering chocoholic. >> there's no recovering. >> i'm filling in, thanks for having me. >> we're glad you're here, clayton. >> how much easier is it to work for the weekend when you can work on a thursday? >> you're absolutely right. and then i coast in. coast into a four hour show. so much easier.

>> eight hours in two days, said it couldn't be done. we have a lot to talk about. including what one candidate said in florida that i find quite intriguing. >> let's go to heather with a look at the headlines. >> that's something else. i want to hear what you have to say about that. news to bring you and brand new video just coming into fox news. the captain of the costa concordia is on the cruise ship for the first time since it capsized two years ago. the court authorized are group of experts to inspect the ship with the former captain aboard. they're trying to determine if factors beyond human error caused that accident that left 32 people dead. that coming into fox. and brand new information about the plane that filled up with smoke forcing the flight attendants to be nervous. listen to this. >> please leave all things behind.

we'll let you back on when it's clear off the plane. >> we cannot breathe back here. >> and they say go, go, go. the delta flight had just landed in oakland, california, when smoke filled the cabin. they now say it came from an air-conditioning pack. being inspected. all got off the plane safely. and it was last year when jennifer garner and halle barry testified about the paparazzi taking pictures of their children. take a look. >> they swoarm and yelling and jumping for position. >> we're moms just trying to protect our children. >> "people" magazine says they will not publish photos of the celebs kids taken against their parents wishes in print or online.

>> and pope francis meets his myny me. the toddler begins to cry, and he places a kiss after he's pulled out of the crowd. how adorable. he was dressed up as the pope as carnaval kicked off in italy. it's like when your child is held pi santa clause. >> my son was batman. great alabamas. >> what if he met batman? >> tears of joy. >> right? >> and we have never had that moment. but we have this moment. by the way, my son was never audited. >> really? let's talk about the irs. >> good segue. >> we deal with what's going on with the irs is two differing accounts. a lot of people think it's a madeup scandal.

if you're on the left. it seems if you're on the right, you're convinced the irs targeted tea party groups. >> we know for a fact. >> there's going to be some changes. but the most fascinating part is timing is everything. >> not going to happen until after the election. new rules in place after the 2014 elections are not targeting tea party groups or conservative groups. of all the groups that received audits, only conservative groups received the audits. there were democratic organizations looked at. but the only one that received the audits were the kept groups. but not changing until after the election. that can't be politics, right? >> a bit of a delay here. there is a feels out there that this is out to protect the democrats. certain lowe wis learner, pleaded the fifth, everyone was outraged. she received money for her

retirement in silence. she says now she's not going to testify without a court order going back to all the focus and targeting of conservative groups. is this a good thing or a bad thing? this is house majority whip kevin mccarthy, they are trying to protect the irs through all of this. >> this is trying to make a system to protect themselves to protect friends and so say who can talk and who can't. the aclu says we'll produce the same truck churl issues at the irs for the various social groups for undue scrutiny. that's the aclu saying he's wrong. >> and here's what's important, along with the rules and the changes that will happen, after the election, if you want answers quicker, you have to go to lois. what's going to get her to talk? only immunity.

i doubt she will. but mark 'emmerson, the former irs commissioner said last night with greta, give her it's the animal way to get answers. >> he went back to your point. he said in certain instances that were more serious in terms of crisis, water gate, iran, it's the only thing that happened. you sacrifice prosecuting, but you get answers. >> and daryl issa says contempt of congress may be in the mix. they would throw that if she pleads the fifth. remember, she gave the statement and pleaded the fifth. proclaimed her innocence and pleaded the fifth. the congress saying right there, that's why she should have to testify next week. that's contempt of congress. >> according to this, it's no scandal, just made up by fox news. why plead the fifth if there's nothing there. look at the democrats what they were saying on the floor.

>> we have all heard the outrage and innuendo from my republican colleagues and their chief mouthpiece, fox news. political theater crafted to make the producers at fox television happy. >> yeah, the producers. they are the problem. are you kidding? >> there you go. >> flip the switch. >> it's just amazing, go into the bull pen and the back room and say the different thing with the same sound byte after sound byte. is it true fox news started this thing? when lois takes the fifth, if it was a fox news concoction, what would -- why would she be taking the fifth? >> maybe she was just waving. >> her hand went up. let's talk about immigration reform. there had been bipartisan reform for this country, we need it in this country. one democrat out of florida says

we need immigration reform in this country for a specific reason. take a listen to what she said. >> immigration reform is important in our country. it's one of the main agenda items that reaches the chamber of congress for obvious reasons, because we have a lot of employers that rely upon workers and especially in this environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping? >> i thought when we heard the full sound byte there it would be more contextual and different, but worse. we need immigration reform to have illegal immigrants to clean hotels and do landscaping. >> what would we do? >> how would our hotels be clean? >> if you want to win them over, keep that line. maybe work on the bumper sticker. and winning in the race, it's

41-42 for the key seat that's been in republican hands for years. he just passed away. this is a key race. she was winning by two points prior to those remarks. i don't know if this is going to send her numbers south. >> or push her over the victory lane. >> i would not think so. >> keep an eye on that. just ten minutes past the hour. coming up, you heard it right here on "fox & friends." >> how many of you are single women with children in the dead end job? you want to stay in the job even though you can get health insurance absent that job? >> we want to know, do women work for health care? we have assembled a panel from both sides of the aisle. >> and a good idea, stop hurricanes, windmills. this is an actual idea, folks. wasn't mine, don't look at me. >> i looked right at you. ♪ [ coughs ]

. well, ladies, listen up, the vice president wants to know that he knows what you want. >> how many of you are single women with children in a dead end job. you want to stay in that job even though you can get health insurance absent that job? >> well, is that all true? i'm joined by a panel of women, catelyn, a political reporter for real clear politics, and the program director of economic policy, and heather higgins, president of dependent women's voice. thank you for being here today. certainly the vice president stirring it up with his remarks in terms of women. is that real freedom to come out of the work place and ask women to really remove themselves from a place that could offer some opportunity? >> i think what the vice president was trying to say is

what democrats have been saying in light of recent reports that workers are going to leave the work force if they're not dependent on employment for health insurance. i think he was talking to an audience of women, we have seen from enrollment numbers that women make up a majority of those enrolled already. and i think he was trying to talk about the way democrats are talking about giving more opportunity to perhaps not be in a job if you don't like it because you're dependent on health care and enter the work force in a different way. the problem is whether and how they enter again. >> and how they exit the work force. abbey, your take? >> i don't think it maximizes consumer choice at all. it tells women to stay at home. if you stay at home, if you're 400% of the poverty line for below, we'll subsidize you. the more you earn and join the economy, we'll take that away. you'll work harder but get less.

this disincentivizes women, especially low income women. >> are you saying it shackles them to remain out of the work force because they don't receive the benefits they would if they raise their income? >> it stacks the deck against them working. >> there was a huge missed opportunity with obamacare, decoupling health insurance from employment and creating opportunities for women so far more choices, not fewer choices. the vice president's spin is essentially like saying, your house is burning down, but that's okay, you'll have less housework to do. trying to find the one nugget of things. there's job loss for women and men in dead end jobs. this is not the way to solve it. that's only a tiny part of the picture. there are vastly more women who don't have the jobs they want, they lose their choices on health care providers and the types of insurance they want to get.

their premiums and costs go up, they work longer hours. the whole report by the cbo was a lot of people working fewer hours. all those women at home because their job was eliminated or they're now a part-time worker below 29 hours when they didn't want to be, these are serious real costs that are destroying the choices of women. if there is a war on women, it is the democrats and obamacare waging it. >> your reaction. it does seem it's asking women to take themselves out of the work force with the option of dependence on government, to re-enter as a woman after you've had children ask difficult. so you were looking at, you know, maybe two to ten years of women not being in the work place because the vice president of the united states of america just told them the better option was to get out of the work force after all that's been done in decades past. >> i think if you look at the politics of this, we're in a midterm election year, and the president and the democrats are having trouble selling this law.

what they're trying to do, especially in an election year, where women make up a bulk of their support, they're trying to talk about, you know, this thing -- this kind of thing in that context of expanding opportunity. >> sure. >> abbey? >> here's what i don't understand. the obama administration talked a big game about reducing income inequality and supporting the working poor, but it's a poverty trap for women. the best way for single moms and vulnerable women to escape welfare and poverty is to have a job. that lets them climb the ladder of economic opportunity. obamacare prevents that for happen. >> thank you for a civilized debate on this issue. catelyn, abbey and heather, my best to you from fox and friends. reduce traffic? don't let people drive. we're going to throw that around. and the vet who got fired for replacing a tattered

you looked at it and said i have to do it, you're a veteran, care about the country. he said you did it without my permission, you're fired. >> that's correct. that's where we're at today. >> today rick and i have been working together to find him something new. he's been on interviews. working with vet recruiting, and kevin o'brien. now he has a profile, we have done the resume. at this point, you really are already interviewing for new jobs. you feel hopeful. >> it is helpful. i appreciate the help. it's tough to get out there and get the jobs. you know, the job boards are tough to decipher, so any help is greatly appreciated. >> one of the thing use did is post the resume. >> we have an example i want to show. this is happening to lots of veterans, not just rick. it's the military skills translation that's getting lost between military and corporate america. companies coming in, they don't

for top military brass, places limits on pay raises, limits the housing allowances. all of this while we're seeing increases to entitlement spending. what do you make of the cuts? >> the first one, freezing the size of the army and reducing it from where it was at the height of the war by about 25%. that's a strategic decision that we're not doing any long-term stability operations. there's a word for that, ground wars. the enemy gets a vote. so that is a conscious decision to accept increased risk that that just won't happen in the next three, five or ten years. >> or to carry out two wars simultaneously. >> that's beyond our reach for a while now. now the other ones, that's going after the entitlements of the military forces and the families. we talked about the 1%. let me give you another sense of 1%. 1% of the country has defended the other 99% for the last 13

years. it is true that the personnel budget has been exploding. it has been growing faster than anything else. and secretary hagel has a problem, if he doesn't cap it, bend that curve, we're going to end up with our department of defense and the social services and health care organization that occasionally fights wars. so we have to put a cap on it. the real problem that you have suggested is that we're capping the entitlements of this 1% who have sacrificed, and we don't have the courage to take on the bigger entitlement problem of the other 99%. because we don't do that, we're actually putting an additional burden on that 1% of our defenders. >> go ahead. >> would you argue that the dollars taken from the military double in the handle of our enemies? are we less safe with this plan here? >> again, all military budgets, i could use another 10 million no matter where i was working.

all budgets make choices. here's the choice. pushed down the grounds are forces, down 21%, betting we don't get in a long-term stability op. more money into cyber forces and special operations. and the navy and the air force are holding their own in this. look, for the history of the 20th and 21st century, we have two poles in the strategic thinking, our goal is to control territory or our goal is to control access to territory. we have been on the control territory side for ten years. we're now going to control access. >> by the way, our enemies have one to track, and that's buildup. china, bolstering up, iran bolstering every day. north korea, and not worried about voter approval ratings. now talk about benghazi. and make morrell in the eye of the storm. he was collaborating with the

white house and blamed the fbi for the talking points. they said that was inaccurate. what do you know about him and why this situation? >> it's a great question. i know him and he's great. and i know katherine, and her reporting is always on the mark. what katherine's reporting, as you pointed out, there are serious process problems in cranking these talking points up for the white house. i think the issue, the real issue here is that cia decided to write the talking points. we never did that. we could have a good day in the oval and steve would call us up and say that was a great briefing, that's on the front burner. we will asked questions about it, get it right, write the talking points. and we said no, talking points of that nature, that's political speak. you write that. >> and i understand you weren't there, but it was inaccurate. that's the problem. the secretary of defense had a different opinion at the time.

and the military and mr. hicks in the eye of the storm never staid it was a video. and with the power of the cia behind him, it makes everybody in the cia look bad. >>, for example, who did it? arabs? libyans? that's true. jihadists? kwai yeah, that's true. it's a politics and policy question. you don't want to get involved. what happened to mike, he's a good guy. it's really hard. >> doesn't look bad, hillary clinton's right hand man, worked at cbs for ben rhodes' brother. he's a key player within the obama administration. >> but i know michael. michael wanted to get the best, clear and competent story. there are great issues here, like the phone call from the

dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin.

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 thursday, february 27th. what did harry reid think about the mm millions of americans with health care horror stories? >> lies. distorted by republicans to grab headlines from a political advertisements. >> well, the evidence already has reid eating his own words. in celebrations as jan brewer vetoes the controversial religious rights bill. when the dust settles, people in arizona aren't going to like what's left. katy perry causing problems, muslims? ♪

for vetoing a bill designed to protect religious rights. >> it would have let them deny service based on religious beliefs. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, there was a surge of criticism from large corporations or athletic organizations, and crowds surrounding the state capital bursts into cheers as governor jan brewer vetoed a measure that would have allowed them to deny service to gays and lesbians citing religious believes. opponents would have said it would have led to discrimination while impacting the economy. brewer said it would have had unintended negative consequences. >> i sincerely believe it has the potential to kpraet create more problems than it purports to solve. religious liberty and a core american and arizona value.

so is non-discrimination. >> but not everybody agrees with the move. the president of the family research council, tony perkins says the law was needed. it clarifies the state's legal position and protects religious freedoms. >> unfortunately, though, this is how fundamental freedoms are trampled. you create a stampede by spooking politicians and the public with misinformation. when the dust settles and the hired guns on the left go away, the people of arizona are going to realize they were hoodwinked. >> senator john mccain prized brewer yesterday saying he hopes they can move forward from the controversy. back to you guys. >> thanks, elizabeth. >> so harry reid. he played good cop/bad cop for the obama administration. >> still casting for the good cop. >> he goes out there like a bulldog and attacks mitt romney

about his taxes. yesterday took to the senate familiar so say some pretty amazing things about the victims, what he says with the so-called victims of obamacare you have seen in the ads and the people we're talking to. he says they're untrue. listen to what he said yesterday. >> despite that good news, there's plenty of horror stories being told. all are untrue. but they're being told all over america. >> it's time to admit that the affordable care act is working. >> in addition, the parade of horrible stories trotted out by the haters of this bill will prove not to be true. the positives will increase, the negatives won't go away, but they will decrease, and this issue will not have the vee menace and potency that others think it will. >> we know that the law isn't perfect. what person or law is perfect? >>out rage on party and facebook. but for harry reid to go up

against politicians, understanding. but to go after the american people who who have come forward with the stories about their heart aches is different. he was met with such response and outrage. senator john spoon said if you were listening to the people, you would see the heart ache i have seen firsthand. take a listen. >> many of us down on the floor reading constituent mail, e-mails in our offices from families and individuals who have been impacted because of cancelled coverages, higher premiums and loss of doctors and hospitals. we have seen that in the individual marketplace. we're start ing to see that. more of this in the small business employer-provided marketplace. >> in a few different places right now, it's clear, democrats on the same page. you see three of them, two of them, on the senate floor and saying fox news is the problem. you saw three sound bytes saying

there is no problem, nothing is perfect. but here's what's different. we're getting the verdict on the kitchen table. it's not mitt romney is a terrible person. it wasn't the irs, i wasn't targeted, maybe the republicans or democrats are right. here everybody is intimate, your relative, your grandparents, you directly. it doesn't matter what the senators say, ultimately, it's decided about are you one of the 6.2 million people that want to keep your plan and have that plan taken away, are you one of those people that found out from your interoffice mail that your company no longer covered you and suck it up and pay the fine. and when it's implemented and the waivers go into action like the employer mandate, you're going to find out what it means. especially if you're one of the people that lost their job. meanwhile, harry reid yesterday places all the blame on republicans for making obamacare an ugly word. he also went after two brothers who are rich, spending a lot of

their money on political causes. most of them to the right. listen to harry reid. >> i can't say that everyone of the koch brothers ads are a lie, but i'll say this -- a vast, vast majority of them are. it's time that the american people spoke out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers who are about as un-american as anyone i can imagine. >> so speaking out about how much money is in the political process. he says that it all goes to republicans. if you put the facts up on the screen here, turns out that all-time donations to political party, solidly democratic. act blue is number one gives money solidly democrat. afscme, and at&t, both parties. the koch brothers, number 59 on the list. >> but yet those two brothers

are the ones he chose to take to the floor and take to task on their means of getting behind politics. it's interesting. the american people are going to hear a couple things, they're going to hear truth, not from harry reid right there, and certainly they're going to hear those representatives that hear them. you know, the ones that actually get in there and say nothing's wrong, nothing's happening with obamacare, those stories with fake. when they get into the voting booth, they will remember. >> and harry reid says you're un-american if you put money into a cause he doesn't agree with. how is that un-american? >> the senate floor, start out the conversation by saying i know for a fact and walks it back, says i'm not sure. >> he's not sure about the facts, he just reversed the statement. >> i think, we're going to talk to heather for news -- >> i'm not sure. >> maybe we will, maybe we won't. >> let's make that a fact. >> hey, heather. >> there is a fact. there's something serious

well, at the rate of foreclosures starting to fall to pre-crisis levels, a lot of people are looking to make money by renting out properties. but it comes, a lot of legal

complexities. what questions to ask? here's bob this morning. >> good morning, elizabeth. >> so we have questions for you. great answers. let's start with this one, if you're an owner of a rental property and want to hire a property manager, what important questions should you be asking? >> very first question, how do you select my tenant? what kind of background check you do? what do you look for to make sure no one will ruin the property? what do your fees cover? does it cover rent collected or rent due? as it relates to if you have to evict that party, what do you charge? what kind of fees do you charge ge to make sure it's specific? those things become important, and the other questions, particularly the people that have not been in the investment business. those people that are investors, they know what they're looking for from property managers. but those with one or two properties and aren't

sophisticated, get into the nuts and bolts of what they're supposed to do. and most importantly, how do you inspect my property while it's been rented. what do you put in the contract to make sure they're not trashing the property? these are the type of things you want to know as the owner of a property. if you're going to use a management company, protect your position. >> all helpful. what about this question, as a tenant, how do you get your security deposit at the end? you never get that back. >> look, those who hold the money and have the gold, it's difficult to get the money back. but here's what you need to do as a tenant. assuming there's a property manager involved, or in the alternative, just direct owner. you do a walk through at the end. you take pictures, of course, of the condition of the property from the day you rented it to the day you leave. you distinguish with that property manager. normal wear and tear, for example, of the carpet and the

paint on the walls, this is normal wear and tear. why is that important? because normal wear and tear in a home is not something that normally under most laws in most states that that landlord or property manager has the right to keep that security deposit. if there's marks on the walls, holes in the wall, something on the carpet, shots outside normal wear and tear, then that landlord or property manager has the right to deduct in most cases that security deposit. when you do that walk through at the end, what i do, is i prepare a document for my tenant to have the manager sign off assuring that this is normal wear and tear and they're going to get their security deposit back within 30 days. generally that's what it is over the law. you must do that, otherwise you end up in small claims court. >> next point, that's great advice to have it in writing. should you have an attorney on

either side? so the person leasing -- >> i'm sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you. absolutely. particularly as an owner, if this is the first time you have had the condo that maybe you're living in and maybe had the home to rent it out. make sure the lawyers use a contract, particularly with the property management agreement. if you're a tenant, have somebody look at the agreement. how does the security deposit work? who's in charge of the maintenance? if the furnace breaks down, who repairs it? repairs, refunds, they cause a dispute between the landlord and the tenants. >> thank you. e-mail bob your questions at "fox & friends".com. look for the rebuilding dreams. and bob, also here with good words. >> thaurnnks. >> you got it. he was killed when his chopper was shot down. almost three years later, this navy s.e.a.l.'s parents don't

and i have been told that you're going to lead today frustrated and rightly so. we don't waexpect to get a lot the questions pose in the book. that is information from the military. we hope it's coming, but we're not confident that it is. >> a lot of it will stay classified. 22 navy s.e.a.l.s perished that day. one of the mysteries, the seven afghans swapped out at last minute. do you believe we're going to get answers to that? >> we have been told that information has been classified. and here's what happened, brian, the parents were allowed to submit questions to the members of congress on the subcommittee. we are not allowed to ask questions ourselves, or any followup questions. which leaves us pretty sure that we're not going to get answers today. the greatest thing we hope for is that this throws this back into the public eye and that americans will once again respond and demand a full investigation of this shoot

down. >> so your belief, billy, that logical would say, that after s.e.a.l. team 6 and the unit was given, and the information was ex-cha chaichanged in that regi days after the ch-47 is shot in the sky, there's a relation. that's why your book is so important and why you're here today. >> it is. and thank you for bringing it up. in the book, we bring up the timeline from the time he is take out, may 3rd, things that took place, may 10th, the taliban moving in with heavy weapons. leon panetta out in the field, the very unit that took out bin laden. and we also know that secretary of defense robert gates and leading naval special warfare, senior leaders spoke to special operations and special forces, families both, because they had

been told by somebody in theater that night that the landing zone was so hot that they boarded one chopper because they believed the second one wouldn't make it in. which makes it worse that they were on a national guard help the built in the 1960s and retro fitted in the 1980s. it's that joke. >> i hope that will be covered and followups after that. thank you so much. >> you're our hero, brian, thank you. >> you raised a hero. and unfortunately he's not with us right now. but thanks for saying that >> thank you. >> we'll be watching today. three minutes now before the bottom of the hour. next, three parents, one baby. yep, one baby. it's a controversial technique to get rid of disease. but should we really be playing god? your e-mails are coming in on that next. then, battling leukemia, and she lost her insurance thanks to obamacare. why are other media outlets turning her into a villain?

diabetes? don't we need to do it for them? it's the designer children business. >> i understand the concern, i'm going to worry about that when we get there. we want to respect life, help families create new children. there are safety issues. we need more research. but i think this experiment ought to go forward. it's in the best interest of families who want to have healthy kids. >> you're experimenting on human beings. how do we know it's safe? when i read the story, i was shocked. how to create a baby out of three people? >> use the best of the helix. i'm going to take the best of brian and put that in with a baby. >> right. >> very few things would transfer. very few characteristics that would transfer over. but joanna writes this -- >> this is problematic in that pro creation is spended to be an act between father and mother, takes god out of the equation.

be released, but they aren't available just yet. those files at the clinton library in arkansas are believed to be related to scandals, including white water. they say this is a protection of hillary clinton and her possible presidential bid. the parents of a 5-year-old demanding answers after their son left school with the wrong person at the end of the day. the man who picked up the child thought he had his great-grandson in the car with him and didn't realize the mistake until he got home. he then called the school and the school told him to bring the child back to school instead of calling the police or that little boy's parents. >> my husband and i feel at this point that we needed to be notified. this unbelievable and terrifying incident that our family has been put through has placed a spotlight on our school's lack of security. >> that school is cooperating with a police investigation.

>> perez hilton is a famous entertainment reporter. it's not like she melts the muslim guy and spares the others. >> everyone dies. >> a video i probably would have never seen. but outraged those in the community. in proportion, compared with seeing a pendant on a pop star to actually killing people, burning down their homes and killing them with the latest in nigeria, 59 were just massacred. look at the religious conflicts we're seeing and the dates they're happening. >> increased from 2009 to 2012. those are just the incidents reported. the killings you just did. saying there's disrespect in the video, if you feel that, that's great. in this country, we have to take for granted we have religious freedom and freedom of speech to discuss it. christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world according to research. we know it, hear it. north korea, number one, somalia, syria, iraq,

afghanistan. these are the most oh pressive when it comes to christianity. perhaps there are more petitions out there. >> all caught up in katy perry's bad videos. julia on facebook says this. what if it's a cross? she has the right to burn it, don't like it, don't watch it. >> what about the respect for each other and personal beliefs? >> and al, that's one thing about a free society, you don't have to like what is said, but you can't stop it from being said. the offensiviveness goes both ways, deal with it. let us know, weigh in on fox and friends facebook page and twitter as well. >> you know a lot about the video. >> i'm analyzing the katy perry video. >> chris and i were. coming up, she's battling leukem leukemia, and to make matters worse, she lost her insurance thanks to obamacare. why is the mainstream media turning her into a villain?

in this case, 348,000 claims, more than the 335 estimated, it shows weakness. fewer layoffs in manufacturing and construction, more in food services and to a certain extent, blaming the weather as well. >> also, big changes ahead for delta, going from distance to dollars in terms of frequent flier program, right? >> yeah, really interesting. this has a lot of frequent fliers pretty upset. let's take a look. on the current plan, fly economy from new york to l.a., you would receive 4900 miles. 4900 miles. this is for the more lucrative and expensive ticket. on the new plan, an economy ticket from new york to l.a., you'll get only 1700 miles. nobody wants that. now, if you have a business ticket, which costs $1,000, oh, look, you'll get 5,000 miles.

so this is good for the travelers who are in the elite. who are spending more. they are trying to pull in the business travelers. this is not good for frugal or savvy or the more conscious customer. so you may be flying a lot, but you're not getting the miles. that's the problem with this. >> all right. it's harder to cash in with the frequent flier miles. they don't want to give the best seat. restrictions. >> they are handy, but they are now less available for the majority of americans. we are glad to know it. thank you. >> watch jcpenny, a big jumper. and tesla, another new high. up over 600% in the last year. >> bonus information, we weren't ready for that. thank you very much. a little bit extra for nicole at the end of the week. coming up, what did harry reid think about the millions of americans with health care horror stories? >> lies.

mother. she was terminally ill. she had to worry about whether or not the insurance is going to cover her bills. he'd claim that was because of pre-existing conditions, but created the emotional impetus to pass the law that has the same effect on this woman. that's misleading. that's what the media should be focused on. >> representative peters was fired up, sending a letter to the tv station, threatening them with ftc violations. remove your license if you don't take this off the air. and then the "washington post" gave her who pinocchios. were you surprised by the reasoning behind this? >> well, this is one of those situations where this form of fact-checking does a disservice. first of all because they're dealing with only half the facts. secondly, they end up deciding what thing is unaffordable for this woman.

whether or not she pays the same under the new plan as under the old plan, the fact she might have to change that on february 1st as opposed to december 31st. that's a difference. uncertainty does create unaffordability in fact marketplace. >> she had cancer and lost the plan. maybe it came out in her faveor in one side, she had to switch plans in the middle. she was on "fox & friends" on monday to defend herself from the attacks. >> i am not lying, steve. i lost my health care plan due to the implementation of obamacare. under my old policy, i knew what i could afford every single month because i wasn't hit with those extra charges. now i don't know what i have to pay month-to-month. >> so, elizabeth, it's that
