arrested in a seven million-dollar decade long shoplifting spree across the country. they sold the stolen items on ebay. >> aren't parents supposed to set a good example for kids? the whole family is in trouble. >> "fox & friends" up next. bye. >> good morning. it is thursday, march 6. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. shocking new numbers in a poll revealing president obama's approval at an all-time low. has the white house completely lost touch with the american people? we're going to break down those numbers for you next. >> the i.r.s. investigation comes to a brief halt when a democratic congressman lashes out. watch. >> simply endlessly slandering the efforts of the committee. >> congressman darrell issa will set the record straight. >> you'll hear more from that. much more. they didn't want condi rice speaking at their school's

commencement so now sean hannity goes head to head with one of those professors. >> you don't believe in academic freedom, freedom of speech? .i totally believe in freedom of speech. >> why are you trying to silence somebody? >> not trying to silence somebody at all. >> more from that. mornings are better with friends. >> hi. i'm kurt busch. ♪ >> kurt busch is going to do a nascar race on memorial day. >> for our veterans. a great cause. the logistics are complex. everybody will be following him. >> clayton, you're sitting in for steve. you'll be here tomorrow? >> i'll be here tomorrow as well, if you'll have me. if brian will have me. >> we'll see how it goes.

>> he's a tough one. >> let's talk about new polls that just came in. if you look at what's happened with the president of late as he talks about minimum wage and lays out a budget without any impact up to the mid terms, many in the democratic party say, mr. president, with all due respect, please don't help me because you can only hurt me by showing up, fox news did a poll about the president's approval rating and it can't make him happy. >> an all-time low. only 38% approving of the job that the president of the united states is doing right now. >> and it gets worse when you start to dive into some of the more specific numbers about security. the president's strong suit, he can hang his hat on security is one of the things the president has done, homeland security. right now with the military budgets being slashed, most americans say he's mostly failed on security. 41%. that's down from 48%. that was his strong suit. >> look at these numbers. literally when asked whether the administration has mostly failed or mostly

succeeded on these issues: security, economy, health care, jobs, voters say in this poll that the administration has absolutely mostly failed. >> look at that health care number. 57% at a high down to what was that, 36% now? 36%. >> now they're factoring too -- 57% say mostly failed. the president has now extended you can keep your old horrible plan, in his words, because they were inadequate. for another two years you can keep that plan if the private industry will allow you to keep the plan that you have to get us past the next election. >> let's talk about a true reality show on capitol hill where everything seems rehearsed and very little seems to happen and you can watch for three hours on c-span and hopefully get nine seconds of highlights for the next day was not the case yesterday when lois lerner made her way to capitol hill to speak in front of the oversight

committee chaired by darrell issa. we did not know for sure if she was going to take the fifth or if she was going to cut a deal for immunity or if she was going to answer the questions. lois lerner in the eye of the storm when it comes to the investigation to find out whether tea party groups and patriot groups were targeted during the next election to keep the 501-c groups out of the sidelines and on the fray when it comes to election day. when she sat down, she didn't say much. >> this was not transparent at all. for the second time she pled the fifth. >> we were reporting this weekend she was not going to plead the fifth. we reported as "fox & friends" this weekend was going off the air, we were getting the word she was not going to plead. she was actually going to answer questions. >> then i think it was trey gowdy who said they didn't like what we had to say over the weekend and they changed their mind. this exchange right here between elijah cummings as

he went after issa was almost something that when you turn to, you thought you were watching a bizarre reality show. >> darrell issa says is it true, and he presented outstanding evidence that she needed toance and she refused to answer at which time it was clear it was going to be i'm taking the fifth, i'm taking the fifth, he essentially said we're done here. then the wrepl eli -- then the ranking member elijah kupblgz said i -- cummings and then this happened. >> mr. speaker i have one question, for the past year this -- >> accusation. close it down. >> if you will sit down and allow me to ask a question. ism a member of the government of the -- i am a member of the government of the united states of america. you cannot have a one-sided

investigation. this is america. >> the hearing is adjourned. i gave you the opportunity to ask a question. >> this is when brian was watching c-span yesterday, fell out of his chair. >> i went to break early in order to get the sound. is this really happening? >> could it possibly be happening is what we thought. he said it was adjourned. comments came forward. if you have questions, you should have asked them forward. issa went on greta last night to explain. >> if the ranking member wanted to make a motion before i adjourned i would have accepted it. i adjourned. he then said i have a question. what you played there was after an adjournment. he then perked up and said i want to ask a question. i said what is your question? and then that exchange occurred because he didn't have a question. he was simply endlessly slandering the efforts of the committee. >> then we caught up with

elijah cummings afterwards. this is what he said. >> to date i can't see where this is politically motivated or the white house had anything to do with it, but these erecessions are -- assertions are being made by the government. i have said i want the truth. the chairman didn't want to hear what i had to say today. he closed the hearing, barring me from saying one syllable. >> by the way, the average american really wants to find out the truth when it comes to the i.r.s. a recent survey showed 71% are more interested in getting the answer now as opposed to 78% in 2013. on top of that, what elijah cummings should have done with all that forcefulness is kind of yelled at lois lerner. if he believes there is no

there there, lois lerner taking the fifth is stopping him from proving his theory that there is nothing there and stopping the president from proving his theory that there is not a smidgen of corruption. she knows the answers. she refuses to answer. >> these are elected officials and if 71% of the american people are asking to get to the bottom of this investigation, truly actually start it and do it with good heart and good intention to get good information, why the stonewalling? why pleading the fifth? and why the arguments about getting to the truth when the american people want it and they elected you to get it. >> remember, 100% of the groups that were audited were those conservative groups. 100% of the audited were conservative groups. let us know what you think at fox news.com. first heather has headlines. >> good morning, clayton. eight minutes after the hour. we start with a fox news alert. smoke pouring into the cockpit of an airplane forces an emergency

welcome back. tensions rising in the ukraine as the u.s. boosts its nato presence by sending fighter jets to the baltic country. a new fox poll showing 33% approves of president obama on foreign policy. is this move too little too late? here is a brand-new fox contributor, pete hegseth. is this too little too late? >> in a practical sense,

no. we're not going to see president putin move across the ukraine and occupy the entire country. practically there is a lot of we can do with fighter jets and aid. optically, absolutely? this is a president who don't understand that putin sees this through the lens of a zero sum gain. he's playing kress, we're playing marbles. we're being naive and looking at the intentions of this former k.g.b. colonel. >> you used the word naive. i think you're spot on here because henry kissinger writing a piece in "the washington post" saying we've gotten putin totally wrong. he's a strategist and knows what he's doing. you mentioned chess and we're playing marbles. that seems to be spot on. >> this administration is living in what they believe to be a post historical

world. no more strategy, different ideologies. there is a sphere of influence russia used to have called the soviet bloc. the president of russia would love that world to come back and so he's trying to create conditions and reading the tea leaves of this administration whether it's syria, whether it's iran, reading the signal and the signals are weakness, equivocation and the willingness to say you might be playing strategy but we're going to stay out of any fact. he's going to act accordingly. let's look at this new fox poll and is the obama administration improving america's image internationally. 36%, down 11 points from last year. president obama is in a pickle because military force has to be off the table as a last resort. ukraine was part of the russian influence, only independent for a little over 20 years. as kissinger points out, russia wants it back. very little the rest of the world can do right now.

what can we do? >> we can stand strong together united in the belief that there are things worth fighting for. it doesn't mean we have to put military options on the table. that is not what we should be doing here. you have to have an enemy or rival who believes you will stand behind the things you say you do. that's why the actions in syria and the red line were way more important than people talked about at the time. regardless of what the response would have been, putin saw we've done nothing. he's reading all of this. >> the economic sanctions we're putting forth and this talk of the obama administration of trying to squeeze the bank accounts of the ehraoefplt is -- elite. is that going to do anything? >> if you get rid of the military option, you don't have leverage. so it can create leverage. sanctions are important. diplomatic and aid received to the ukrainians are important. these are nondiplomatic tools we have at our

disposal. but when you're perceived as not being twoeulg stand up for -- willing to stand up for the big fight, like in the ukraine you see a russian president willing to dabble and tinker, it depends on how strong we stand. >> we'll take a little bit. pete hegseth, great to see you. coming up on the show, a symbol of faith and hope at ground zero but atheists want this cross gone. what happens next? >> she's used to forecasting the snow but not skiing in it. >> i'm ready for pizza and french fry. >> maria molina hitting the slopes for the first time. looks like my three-year-old doing the pizza and plow move. pizza and plow move. that's next.

that's what harry reid has done in this kind of scurrilous defamation of these women and other women interviewed on this show. there is something called the speech or debate clause of the constitution. it says for any speech or debate in either house, senators and representatives shall not be questioned in any other place, meaning they can't be called to account in a civil court for their statements. but the truth is their statements need to be an integral part of the deliberative and communicative process associated with legislative activity. so i would suggest that if they push the envelope, if they were so outraged by senator reid going on the floor of the senate and calling these women liars and other women and men across the country, yeah, that they might in fact have an opportunity to bring a lawsuit, especially based on press releases and web statements that his office has made. those are not protected.

>> certainly not made on the senate floor, certainly in front of a much broader audience. has there been precedent in terms of misuse of that immunity? >> there has been precedent. the truth is that in the case law, if it's a legislative function, senators and congress people have a wide swath in terms of what they can say. but when you go on the floor of the congress as the senate majority leader and you say i'm going to target certain americans who don't have the opportunity to go on the floor to go on "fox & friends" every day, to go on the mainstream media and attack them when they're under attack, when they can't get operations for their daughter, when they need the 90th operation, when they can't get the breast cancer surgery they need, when they can't get the lupus treatment they need at the same price, same coverage, that is an absolute disconnect in

terms of the government and the people. when the government begins to attack the people, especially when 60% of the american people say the president has it wrong on health care, then something is wrong in this country. >> peter johnson jr., thank you. >> be well. >> one of those women, her daughter had her 89th surgery and came here right after it just to make a point. one senate race taking an ugly term. the democrats saying this about his opponent's military service. >> i think part of the sense of entitlement that he gives off is i served my country, therefore, let me to the senate. >> what? he's talking about congressman tom cotton who is here next to react to that. tensions with the russians boil over. take a look. do you know who that man with the camera is?

♪ that's my phone. hey. [ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. the races across the country are heating up, especially in arkansas. mark pryor making these outrageous comments about his opponent's military service. listen. >> in the senate, we have all kinds of different people, all kinds of different folks that have come from all kinds of different backgrounds and i think that's part of this sense of entitlement that he gives off is that almost like i served my country, therefore, lead me to the senate. >> he's referring to senator tom cotton. he responded as the person that senator pryor was referring to. congressman cotton wants to be the next senator from arkansas. your reaction to your opponent's reaction to your military

service? >> good morning, brian. it's great to be on with you. i didn't leave a good law job to join the army you've sense of entitlement. i left because i wanted to serve my country. i believe we're the greatest country on earth and i want to protect our freedom. that's why i served in the army and why i wanted to run for congress in the first place. i'm not like mark pryor. i haven't spent 25 careers in politics. but you learn a lot more about leadership at officer candidate school and leading troops in the streets of baghdad than in the halls of congress. >> do you have a sense of entitlement because you served in the military? >> no. i found most things will be better with hard work. so that's what i learned growing up on a farm in arkansas and learned at fort benning and tried to display in iraq and afghanistan. i've been working hard to earn the votes of the people of arkansas and represent my constituents in the congress and i hope to do that next year in the senate. >> your response to your opponent's remarks? are you angry about this? are you shocked by this? >> brian, if you grew up with

lynn cotton on a farm, you would get thick skin and it would be thickened more by drill sergeants. so i don't get offended by much. i am surprised that he doesn't think we need more veterans in congress. i think men who sacrificed a lot more than senator pryor or i, like sam johnson or john mccain have been great leaders in the united states senate and congress. frankly, i think if we had more people in the congress who were veterans, congress might be a little more respected, like our military is. >> not all are democrats or republicans. but when they go in, they have a sense of service like the people who serve in the military. so we got word to senator pryor. we wanted him to come on. instead they just sent this statement. so let's read it together. this is from his campaign: quote, of course mark is grateful for congressman cotton's service. but this campaign is about two very different records in congress and it's cotton's irresponsible votes against medicare, social security, and affordable student loans that matter most to arkansas voters. cotton himself had military

experience should not be the sole qualification for political office. your reaction? >> this can lead to different results for the american people. pryor spent 25 years in office. he was led to vote for obamacare which cut millions of dollars out of medicare and nationalized the student loan industry, which means higher student loan costs for all students. this is why i think it's good to have different perspectives in congress of the not just people who spent a lifetime in politics. >> we understand you're not somebody that just went right to war, which is admirable, i believe. but you also have a law degree out of harvard, spent two years in a management firm, and then decided to serve your country again as a congressman. now according to real clear politics, you lead the sitting senator 42-40. this is going to go down to the wire. congressman cotton, thanks for your service and time this morning. >> thank you. >> as i mentioned, we invited senator pryor on. coming up straight ahead, turns out democrats can't even name hillary clinton's greatest

accomplishment as secretary of state. >> what would you point to as her biggest accomplishment? do you think her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state was? >> more on that top of the hour.

good morning. today is thursday, march 6. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. new this morning, stunning new numbers showing that most of america has given up on president obama. has he lost touch with the american people? the brand-new poll that the president will not want to see. and the majority of democrats agree. hillary clinton would make a great president. >> what would you point it as her biggest accomplishment? do you think her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state was? >> what does that say about the democrats' top candidate for 2016? clayton?

>> wake up. >> mommy. oh, what if i told you this pillow, this pillow could save your marriage? it will nudge you awake, stop snoring. mornings are better with friends. i'm going to go back to sleep. >> this is rob lowe. you're watching "fox & friends". that pillow could save your marriage? >> it will stop from you snoring. >> is it an alarm. >> if you're like my dad and literally have to leave the room, you can hear the house vibrating because of the snoring, it will nudge you awake so you stop snoring. >> that's my job to nudge you awake. >> or just punch you. we'll have a lot more gadgets in the sleep department coming up later. >> you're never alone with that pillow. >> i can guarantee somebody is not asleep this morning if he understands the poll that just came out. president obama is the person i'm speaking of. his approval rating right now at an all-time low. drops below 40%. look at this.

only 38% of people asked if they're happy with president obama's job performance, 38% said they approve of what he's doing. >> all-time low in this new fox news poll testimony gets worse if you dive into some of the specifics actually. some really eye opening numbers as it relates to security. security, that was president obama's strong suit, right? he increased all these drone strikes, homeland security, his number were very, very high. now -- >> bin laden is dead and al-qaeda is on the run. >> yeah. 41%. look at the health care number. 36% think it's mostly succeeded on health care. >> when you look at all these things, they were asked to rate the obama administration if they mostly failed or succeeded. security, health care, economy, and jobs, they all believe mostly failed in all of those categories is what the americans answered. do you believe this administration has mostly failed. when it comes to security, the recent reduction in terms of

costs given to the defense department and their expenses, certainly that may be a reason for that number there. >> if you look at the way the defense department numbers have been cut, look at what's happening in the ukraine, syria stopped giving up chemical weapons, you see that he's pressuring israel to come to the table on a peace agreement when they're two of the only stable factors in the middle east and count on and now they're getting that type of pressure. it's beginning to add up in a time when the american people have virtually shut off when it comes to foreign policy. >> he was supposed to be this transformational president and we heard about transparency, they were going to open the doors, pull back the curtain on what was going on inside this administration. on transparency even, hit really, really hard in this fox news poll. really, really low numbers on transparency. we heard the president talking about the lobby be efforts that at -- lobby be efforts of his

administration. people won't be able to come back and work for my administration. we know that's not the case. from job, economy, health care, security, all low numbers. >> look at the majority of the e hitting americans inn table the gut. they're responding with this poll in terms of deeming it as a failure when it comes to the policies in those departments because they're feeling it at home. they're actually feeling the brunt of that failure and certainly being honest about it there. democrats across the board as we go into midterm elections and looking to 2016 aren't going to be happy either with this one. hillary clinton losing ground right now. 5% decline from 2013 when asked if she would make a good president is what this poll found. >> it will be interesting 'cause hillary clinton, if she is going to run, has got to decide where she's going to agree with the president and where she won't. her report card is hers, two things stand out. the reset relationship with russia. how has that worked? not only was the word misspelled as it translated to russian on

the button, but we have had it really thrown in our face in almost every turn, especially now that she's out of office. the other one was she has taken a lot of pride in saying i pushed the president to act in libya. how does that work out? there was no war plan. now it's a terror den and four people are dead in benghazi. and the one phrase that will continue to come up is what difference does it make? now she's paying the price already in her poll numbers at a time in which you think there should be wind at her back. >> so there is a lot of controversy and a lot of question to what her accomplishments are. attendees for the dnc couldn't name her accomplishments. look at this. >> in her tenure as secretary of state, what would you point to as her biggest accomplishment? what do you think her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state was? >> was hillary's greatest accomplishment as secretary of state? >> just think the way that she represented america. >> what would you say is her biggest accomplishment as secretary of state?

>> actually maybe more of -- she didn't create a problem. let's put it that way. >> we are a little bit more at ease with that vote in the middle east. >> what do you think she'll be able to point to as secretary of state, i did this? >> the mrc did that video. if you look at the poll numbers, do most americans care right now, because she's crushing it when you look at stacking up for 2016. she's well out in front of any sort of republican front runner now. but no detail. >> we sat on the couch and we talked about how much she was ahead last time before barak obama came out of nowhere. there might be a governor here in new york that could provide a real run for her money because his numbers areç going up, andw cuomo. >> perhaps you're right about that. we want to bring you a fox news alert out of the ukraine now. >> beau sides seem to be stalling. this comes as the house takes up

a vote today to send aid to the region in a massive way. amy kellogg live in kiev with the latest. amy, any progress to report? >> reporter: hi, brian. actually the west is trying to figure out ways today to punish russian president vladimir putin, or i should say to get him to deescalate the situation in crimea. but that's hard to do when -- it's hard to rattle russia when putin's approval rate something high into the 60s right now. some of that probably has to do with the sochi olympics. some of that has to do with some approval of how he is handling the situation in ukraine. but the ruble is falling and that's significant. in the meantime, in crimea, the situation is not deescalating. now crimea announced on march 16, it's going to hold a referendum on whether or not to join russia. we did speak to a crimean person yesterday who said he doesn't understand why this is hang because frankly, everyone in

crimea basically gets along just fine. they're not feeling threatened by any outside forces and they are in favor of the ideals that the people in kiev held the revolution for. in the meantime, a united nations observer was chased out of crimea, literally, yesterday when he was threatened by these gunmen presumed to be russian soldiers. in other regions of ukraine, there has been some turmoil. that's ousted the president's home city. there has been back and forth. the russian flag planted on the administration building. the ukrainian flag, now it seems the russians are back in control of that situation. it's quite unstable. finally, russia's prime minister medvedev has said that russia is going to make it easier for people who speak russian to become citizens of russia and the parliament is pushing through a bill that would make it easier for foreign lands to join the russian federation. brian? >> so they're going to put up a

referendum, where should crimea belong to, russia or the ukraine. we'll see how those numbers go. amy kellogg in the eye of the storm there. >> thanks. in other news, heather nauert. good morning. >> good morning. how are you today? got fox news alert to bring you. smoke is pouring into the cockpit of an airplane and forced that plane to make an emergency landing. it was an american eagle flight out of dallas-fort worth headed to moline, illinois overnight. smoke started to fill that cockpit just after takeoff and that's when the flight was diverted to greenville, texas. a bus picking up the crew and passengers and driving them back to dallas. no one was hurt. the source of that smoke is not yet known. that controversial nominee to head the civil rights division at the department of justice has been blocked by the senate. he faces a whole lot of criticism because he had defended the notorious cop killer in court. president obama called that

block a, quote, travesty and harry reid lashing out with a thinly veiled accusation of racism. >> maybe it's the time that america had a good discussion on civil rights. >> confirmation vote came down to 47-52, just shy of the majority needed. take a look at a photo gone viral based on that song "call me maybe." take a look. ♪ hey i just met you ♪ ♪ this is crazy ♪ so here's my number ♪ so call me maybe ♪ . >> cute song and how cute is this? harper waiting to meet her father for the very first time in nebraska. she has a sign and it's based on the lyrics of that song. it reads, hey, i just met you and this is crazy. but my name is harper and i'm your baby. in case you're wondering, the story has a really happy ending. harper was born while her father was serving in afghanistan and

until they came face-to-face, he had only seen his baby via skype. the two finally got to meet in person. cole says he's excited to be back home and start his life with his growing family. congratulations. these stories always bring tears to my eyes. >> 11 minutes after the top of the hour. as the world reacts to the ukraine, judge napolitano says it's not putin's fall. he's here with why he thinks the u.s. could be to blame. in fact, he's almost at the stage. >> then, would you want your co-workers to know how much money you make? one business is making paychecks public for everyone to see. here is a hint at what business it is. we report. you decide.

continues to move troops into the crimea region, test fire missiles and ignores calls from the world to stand down. is this all america's fault? joining us, judge andrew napolitano. how is it our fault? >> i wouldn't say it is our fault. i wouldn't say it is america's fault. i would say this is yet another blunder of the obama administration. yesterday i was about to go on with shep smith when all of a sudden popped up secretary kerry from paris. he made an interesting statement and he said, the people of ukraine are entitled to their own government. guess what? they had their own government until there were riots and demonstrations in the streets. who paid for and who formed the

riots riots and demonstrations in the streets? if you listen to the tact and taped telephone call of deputy assistants secretary of state victoria nuland, we did. we fomented those riots because we didn't like them borrowing money from russia rather than from the e.u. we should have offered him that money at a better rate and he would have borrowed it from us and there would be peace there now. as a result, russian invasion, absolutely unlawful. soldiers wearing masks with no insignia and now they're going to an ex-crimea because we fomented these, the obama administration fomented these in the street. >> isn't the international community because you had this weak response this weekend from france and other countries coming out saying, we're not going to go to the preparatory meetings for the g8 -- >> europe is utterly weak, but also dependent on russian oil, on russian coal and on russian

natural gas. european union gets 30% of its oil, coal and natural gas from russia. if he closes that spigot down, it will have catastrophic effects on europe. it also will affect him because he needs the payment for that. >> you know -- >> it's profoundly unlawful move. it's so unlawful that by not wearing insignias, by not identifying themselves as part of the russian army, they are literally outlaws. they are not protected by the geneva convention. you could lawfully shoot them in the streets. >> victoria nuland's comments would never rally ukrainians in mass numbers for three months in zero degree temperatures. >> but american agents and american dollars would. >> what do you mean? >> on the streets. >> but you're going to say we paid those protesters? >> we paid many of the protesters? >> we gave cash to those protesters who demanded a change in government? >> absolutely. just like we did in the orange revolution when we wanted to throw out the ex commies --

>> those are people who did not want to move away from the west and were concerned about this new agreement with russia. >> look, the agreement with russia came about because victor yen, kovic is an ex-commie -- i despise him, and the state department was happy to see go, was the popularly, lawfully, morally elected president of the ukraine. we helped depose him and this is the consequence of our meddling in another country. the crimea is about to hold a referendum. they're about to become russian citizens. it's about to become an ex because nobody stands up to putin because we think we can manipulate him diplomatically because we think we can foment riots in the streets. he invades and he keeps what he invades. when he invaded georgia, he still has two of those provinces with 40,000 russian troops patrolling the streets. >> all eyes on the ukraine this morning and russia. thanks so much.

>> a pleasure. >> i don't think i changed kilmeade's mind. i never do. >> no way we were paying those people in the streets. coming up, tensions with russia boil over, brand-new attention on this picture. take a close look. do you know who that man is with president reagan? >> and what if you were told there is a pillow that could save your marriage? stick around. that pillow and other gadgets up next with our sleep series as we continue. ♪ ♪

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. time for the answer to the trivia today. born on this date in 1972, this 7-foot basketball player tried being a rapper and movie star. the answer is shaq. he turns 42 today and our winner is barbara o'conner from the great city of philadelphia. you'll be getting a copy of brian's book "george washington's secret six." are you going to sign it? >> i will sign it. thank you. >> now for some mini news this morning. a look at your headlines. oregon truck driver is lucky to be alive after this steel beam crashed through the cab of his semi truck during an accident. he was forced to slam on the brakes after being cut off by another truck. do you remember the cronut? the inventer of the croissant doughnut hybrid is at it again. the newest creation?

a cookie glass. the bakery came up with the classes, saying it's the perfect way to get a little milk and cookie at the same time. this guy is a genius. >> i think he is. what happens when one of america's most powerful unions doesn't get its way? we're about to find out in chattanooga, tennessee, where volkswagen workers defeated the united auto workers' proposal to take over their plant. they said they'd rather represent themselves. the uaw didn't like that. it filed an appeal with the federal government and now it wants a new election with a whole new set of rules. senator from tennessee, bob corker, is here right now, probably fired up ready to explain. good morning, senator. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thank you. >> so the uaw on valentine's day certainly didn't get a love note there. they found out, look, we're not getting our way, but they're not going down without a fight now. what's going on? >> they were in the plant,

elisabeth, for two years organizing. they tried to get volkswagen to agree to -- fortunately volkswagen asked for a secret ballot. they gave nine days notice and an election was going to take place. over a three-day period, the workers there realized that there was just nothing the uaw it to offer, that they were there because of money. they were there because of dues. they already made more than what uaw workers and other plants with the same length of service were making. so now the uaw is appealing, saying that people like me, voicing our concerns relative to what the uaw would mean to our community, relative to future economic growth, since most companies in the auto industry really don't want to locate next to a facility that has a uaw organization involved. so we expressed our concerns and they're saying that we

interfered somehow by sharing concerns with our community and it will be unprecedented if the national labor relations board overrules for that reason. >> lot at stake here, it seems. wait a second. this is a freedom of speech issue, is it not? the president was out there speaking on behalf of the unions. you were certainly speaking on behalf of your constituents. you worked long and hard to get volkswagen there from the beginning. actually had initial meetings in your home. >> that's right. >> they're telling you you can't speak, but yet the president can? is this a double standard when it comes to freedom of speech? >> yes. and i think we'll have to see. the uaw has been given until friday to add additional arguments to their case. you're right, the president weighed in during the election process also. again, this has happened time and time in the past and never, never before has the nlrb ever overruled because politicians have been involved in this way. so look, you're right.

i built the industrial part that volkswagen is located on when i was mayor with others, recruited them to our state, had been involved with them for five years. know the management up and down the line, have relationships there. for me to express concerns about what it would mean to our community and our state over time is something that i think people elect me to do. so again, this is an interesting case. hopefully even though is obama's nlrb, these are his appointees, hopefully they will do the right thing here and not try to muzzle people that are elected by people in their state. >> also when a vote has already taken place. quickly on the ukraine, i'd like to get you here. you may have a solution when it comes to finding some sort of peace there. >> well, we've been meeting with the chairman of our committee and the ranking member, we have developed an outline of what we plan to do.

we hopefully are going to have a markup on tuesday. we want to respond quickly to this. the house is moving legislation also. you probably just got over your prompter a notice that the administration is going to be announcing this morning some -- they're going to have some announcements relative to sanctions for those that have been involved in destabilizing the country. so that linked with the things that we will do relative to economic aid to ukraine and hopefully some other things to change the dynamics will be what will be working on the next several days. >> from the great state of tennessee, senator, we thank you for being with us. >> thank you. well, the president calls it a road map for creating jobs and expanding opportunities. so what does john stossel think of the house's breakthrough budget? he's sleeping. but first on this day in history, 1981, walter cronkite

signed off. in 1983, the football league began its first season of pro competition. in 1993, disney had the number one song in america, from the movie "aladdin,"" a whole new world" [ as schwarzenegger ] show me the movies with the arnold schwarzenegger

[ cheers and applause ] [ female announcer ] control your tv with your voice. the x1 entertainment operating system. only from xfinity. obama is defending the budget, which he's referring to as a road map for creating jobs. then young people said, a what for creating what? road map? jobs? never heard of either of those things. >> the "tonight show" is in new york and jimmy fallon going at it, it's our privilege to bring in the man whose birthday it is today, but he refuses to age, john stossel.

happy birthday, john. >> thank you. >> you woke up and said the one thing i want to spend my birthday is "fox & friends." >> absolutely. >> you cut the budget on your birthday, by the way. >> thank you. that's a gift. >> speaking of what do you think of the new proposal here, the road? >> for you old people out there to explain the fallon joke, they don't know what a road map is and don't know what jobs are. but look, we're going broke. and they're going to argue about should we spend 6% more or 7% more? this is 6.8% more. inflation is 2%. can't they just limit it to the size of inflation? no. we are going broke. >> they're addicted to spending. >> addicted to spending. >> let's look at some of these. this is how it breaks down. $60 billion in increased tax. >> this is what the president is proposing. >> it's not going to happen. >> 13.5 million for the working poor. $302 billion on roads and bridges. i thought that was supposed to have been done before. >> shovel ready. >> shovel ready projects.

childhood education and 496 billion for the military budget, which has been cut and you know that. how does that break down for you? >> just a minor point, the size of the military is proposed to be cut. the number of people, actually 28 billion more spent. these guys hardly ever cut anything. the infrastructure you mentioned. the one that gets me is this universal pre-k. they did their own study and found head start, which sounds so good to all of us, doesn't work. they spent $200 billion on it over the years. their own study says it doesn't work, so they say, let's spend more. >> it seems to be the repeat. >> it's all a repeat. >> the government always does this. once you get these programs in place, they unfortunate want to roll them back. we know that certain things don't work through the tsa, we spend more, we spend millions on dollars on these machines that we know don't do anything. >> in the law, it says a town can opt out if they want to try private screeners who compete for the job.

and the government says no, we don't think is advantageous for the tsa. they just grab more, more. give me more. >> so you're going to break down the budget, which is dead on arrival for the president of the united states. >> it won't be bigger than that, the republicans won't about go along with his priorities. but it will stillç grow. >> it must drive you crazy because the president said the age of austerity is over. let's go back to spending. >> we had some austerity with the southwester and that would have put us off the track with bankruptcy and they threw that out. >> if there is one thing americans are okay with, it's no cuts for the military. can't wait to hear more from you tonight's. >> watchs" to the" tonight. >> happy birthday. >> coming up, they lost their son, a soldier in iraq. when they went to visit his grave, they found a construction zone. we're talking about heavy

machinery right over the resting places of our heros. that family joining us live coming up. >> then your tax dollars at work. how does food meant for welfare end up in liberia? you got to hear this

fire for his latest work of art. that's his dog. mornings with better with friends. >> hi, everyone. this is leeanne rhymes and you're watching "fox & friends." >> this will be the final hour and we have a lot to discuss this hour. >> we're extending the show 'til 10:00 a.m. this morning. >> that's what you usually did saturday and sunday, without you. >> you have your radio. >> you want to talk poll numbers? we have fresh polls out and these are not good news for the president of the united states. this is the lowest poll that fox news channel has ever seen for a fox news poll for the president's approval rating. 38% approve of the president's job. that's down from 42% just last month. >> right. to come under 40 is shocking for sure. the administration not going to want to see that at all. perhaps as a result of the

economy, failed rollout of obamacare, and handling or mishandling of russia. >> yeah. what's actually happened when it comes to security, bin laden is dead and al-qaeda is on the run, well, so far security numbers have gone south. mostly succeeded, 41% say yeah, he has succeeded. 48% said no, he hasn't. when it comes to health care, as the rollout becomes delay after delay, what we have so far is mostly succeeded, 36%. mostly failed, almost 60% say mostly failed. >> right. security, health care, economy, and jobs, when asked, everyone polled said they mostly failed. we see these areas as mostly failures on the part of the administration. shockingly, 60% of the country right now feels as though they're worst off than five years ago. >> that's an increase of 56%. so that's actually worse off now for the president and when you look at are companies hire not

guilty droves? no. so when democrats running for reelection are having to answer for obamacare and for a stalled economy, manufacturing jobs still not back here in the united states and those numbers aren't going up. >> right. let's talk about somebody who has not had a job in about a year. that is secretary of state hillary clinton. you would think her numbers would be stronger. in terms of what she did as secretary of state, the report card wasn't bad. but it wasn't really outstanding. but for the most part, she ended on a high note, sitting down one on one with the president, him saying she was one of the finest secretary of states of our time. two of the major involvements she was involved with, libya, no post-war plan, and four americans dead. what difference does it make, four americans are dead as she went on that rant. now her other push to reset the relationship with russia. how has that gone? flat out embarrassment as we've been abused and beat up from pillar to post from syria to the ukraine. >> so her approval rating now is at 50%. that's down from 2013 in

february. out of office, out of a job, her approval rating drops 5%. >> right. here, too, when asked if she would make good president, you see the number between yes and no right now inching closer together. not only is her number dropping in terms of those that would want her or think she would make a good president, it's also increasing in terms of those that do not think that she would make a good president. >> and whether or not her accomplishments as secretary of state are something to be praised. when asked about those exact accomplishments at a democratic event, the mrc put this video together and here were the responses of attendees on her accomplishments. >> what would you point to as her biggest accomplishment as secretary of state? what do you think her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state was? >> hillary's greatest accomplishment as secretary of state? >> i just think the way that she represented america. >> what would you say is her

biggest accomplishment as secretary of state? >> actually maybe more of -- she didn't create a problem, we'll put it that way. >> we are a little bit more at ease with our folks in the middle east. >> what do you think she's going to be able to point to as secretary of state, i did this, i accomplished this? >> talk being arkansas, hillary clinton the former first lady of arkansas, things are getting testy down there in a race right now because the democrat down there, mark pryor, who is running for reelection against cotton, whom we had on the show earlier, he talked about how his service in the military is an entitlement. >> right. tom cotton, who served in afghanistan and iraq after graduating from law school and harvard, he decided to take three years off and work in a management term. now wants to be the next senator. mark pryor shocked many when he came out with these comments. >> in the senate, we have all kinds of different people, all

kinds of different folks that have come from all kinds of different backgrounds and i think that is part of this sense of entitlement that he gives off is that almost it's like, i served my country, therefore, let me into the senate. >> some critics and many americans feel that was a gross attack on the character of tom cotton. he was here earlier. brian spoke with him and this is what he had to say. >> i didn't leave a good law job to join the army out of a sense of entitlement. i left because i wanted to serve my country. i believe we're the greatest country on earth, the home of freedom and i want to protect our freedom overseas. that's why i served in the army and that's why i wanted to run for congress in the first place. i'm not like mark pryor. i haven't spent 25 years in politics. but you learn a lot more about leadership in ranger school at fort benefiting and leading troops in the streets of baghdad than you learn in the halls of congress. >> that's a strong pushback. so the pryor campaign, we asked him to come on of the he didn't. but his campaign gave us a statement moments before the interview. says, of course, mark is grateful for congressman cotton's service. but this campaign, this is about

two very different records as in congress as it's cotton irresponsible votes that matter most to arkansas voters. cotton himself stated the military experience shouldn't be the sole qualification for political office. cotton actually battled back on that and said having the government take over student loans was not something he could support and medicare and obamacare is not something that he also couldn't support. >> certainly a pushback there on his part. >> if you look at the seats that republicans are looking at getting back in red states, one in which they think they can is in arkansas. currently prior to those comments controversial, cotton had a two-points lead. >> which you pointed out will go down to the wire, neck in neck. >> pryor trying to dig in. >> let us know your thoughts. go to our facebook page as well. first let's check in with heather for a look at the headlines.

>> fox news alert. smoke pouring into the cockpit of an airplane forcing an emergency landing overnight. an american eagle flight out of dallas-fort worth was headed to moline, illinois when smoke started to fill the cockpit after takeoff and that's when the flight was diverted to greenville, texas. there were 45 passengers and crew members on board. eventually they were bussed back to dallas. the source of that smoke is not yet known. but everyone is safe. breaking news to bring you. the situation out of the ukraine, the white house just imposing visa restrictions on russians and those from crimea. also president obama has signed an executive order authorizing sanctions against individuals and entities responsible for what they say are activities that undermine the democratic process or the institution in ukraine. in the meantime, we're learning crimea will vote one week from now on whether or not it should remain part of ukraine or join russia. negotiations of that crisis reaching a stalemate.

peace talks with both sides now stalling in paris. secretary of state john kerry says all parties agree it's important to resolve these issues through dialogue. listen here. >> we agreed to continue intense discussions in the coming days with russia, with ukrainians in order to see how we can help normalize the situation, stabilize it and overcome the crisis. >> part of that is that the pentagon is now boosting its nato presence, sending fighter jets to the region to support u.s. allies defenses and also the house takes up a vote today on a ukrainian aid package that has been proposed. also in washington a new obamacare delay again. the white house is now offering a a two-year extension on canceled health care plans. but the question is, is this about the american people or politics? >> what was happening with the insurance companies, they're

required to send cancellation letters to consumers 90 days before the new plans take effect. when you count back 90 days from january 1, that is the height of campaign season. so that's clearly what the white house was thinking about here. >> and an admission coming from the architect of obamacare. he admitted that the delay was, quote, strategic and worth it from a political perspective. the house votes to delay penalties for those who didn't sign up for the program. that vote comes today. listen to this. now you can wake up and smell the bacon? oscar myer is making a device to hook up to your iphone. it will wake you up to the sound and smells of sizzling bacon. >> bacon! >> the catch is, you can't buy it. you have to win it by entering a contest called wake up and smell the bacon on wakeupandsmellthebacon.com. >> we'll throw in the app with

welcome back. would our forefathers be proud of how our government evolved since they signed the constitution? joining us now is fox news legal analyst, bob massi. nice to see you this morning. >> good morning, sir. >> so when you look at the system of checks and balances put in place, it was really a

genius system that was created to keep everyone in check at the time. >> it was. >> do you think that's been completely derailed? >> i think it's a shame of what's happened. i was fortunate in the '70s, i actually worked in dc and i was a senate aide, did a lot of things and got the inside picture. what bothers me the most is the genius of the checks and balances was to make sure exactly that nobody is usurping the other person's role, clayton. what concerns me is that these men and women in congress that represent us and who swear to uphold the constitution, in fact, are letting certain things happen in other branches without an outrage and that is something i don't get. it is not a partisan issue. it is a people issue and it is a -- what are their powers? there are certain branches usurping their powers and that's my concern.

>> you as an advocate for victims, obviously in the legal realm, you have a big heart for that as part of your career. the obama administration, members of congress say there are americans who simply can't help themselves. that's the role of the federal government. if you're not going to fix it, we're going to step in by executive order or otherwise and help those victims. what do you say to that? >> the executive order is not designed to legislate. that's not what the executive order or the executive branch was given there. let me tell you, presidents throughout the years have abused executive order. so let me be clear on that. the problem is i don't understand why congress is not outraged by the use of executive orders of presidents that legislate and modify and amend laws that they passed. they should be standing up and saying, wait a second, mr. president. no matter which president. but we've seen more with this obamacare that things are being

extended, mandates are being,t)g moved, that is part of the legislative process. not part of the order! that should bring all of the congress, republicans and democrats and independents stand up and say, wait a second! this is our job. we represent the people of this country. we can not allow any branch of government, we can not allow judges to legislate from the bench. we can not allow congress to pass unconstitutional laws. we can not allow a president, the executive branch to decide intrinsically to change laws that are passed to represent you and i as citizens and that's why i'm so concerned about this. it's become just commonplace and nobody is outraged. democrats, republicans. instead, it becomes partisan issues. and that's not what these people are elected to do. they're elected to uphold the constitution of the united states and represent us as citizens of this country. >> even have the attorneys

general coming out saying eric holder, not willing to support certain laws that were passed and put into place. just ignoring those laws. how does that sit with you? >> the attorney general of this country represents the people of this country. look, there has always been this discussion -- i remember in the '70s when i was working in dc, there was always this idea, where is the conflict? the attorney general, selected by the president, they're put in place and the question is, where is the conflict? they're supposed to be independent. the attorney general is supposed to be independent. again, representing you and i as the people of the country. they're supposed to assist in making sure that we're protected. so the question then becomes, how far along has this gone? have we become so cynical in our country that, in fact, the responsibilities that they are supposed to enforce and do have become so partisan that they forget about the people as a whole? that's what's happening in our country and that's why i'm

concerned as a lawyer who upholds the constitution. that's our job also when we take the oath. >> bob massi, fox news legal analyst. great to see you this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up here on the show, we told you about the rutgers professor trying to ban condoleeza rice from speaking at the commencement. they all signed that petition. what's their issue? >> picking a commencement speaker is honoring the speaker and also offering a a role model to students and i think we could make better choices than to pick condy rice for that role. >> but they did say hillary clinton is okay in the interview. your comments pouring in on this one. parents, listen up. did you know some of those healthy drinks you're buying for your kids have just as much sugar or more sugar than your soda? the worst offenders when we come back. spokesperson: the volkswagen passat tdi clean diesel

we thank you for being here today. you can read me the riot act here when it comes to juice. some of these end up in my cart. sunny d. shock amount of sugar? >> yes. only 3% juice. this is not really juice. this is sugar water. what you have to understand is that this is an attractive bottle, it has a picture of an orange on front. but it's just a candy bar really in a bottle. it's a nice treat, it's not healthy. >> get the real juice instead? >> get the real juice instead. >> what about this one? this is hawaiian punch. great commercials in the '90s. i loved this. tell me why it's bad. >> hawaiian punch i think we've had this around for a long time. also delicious tasting, but this is just full of sugar. this is not juice. you can see here. you can see through it. i don't know if you can see through this bottle, there is no pulp or fruit in here. this is just, again, a sugary drink. >> okay. once you are able to get the

fruit -- >> you'll get it all over. not the best choice for children. >> this one is popular for kids. see how portable it is? you can take it everywhere. you can put it in the car, take it to school and drink it all day long. again, it's just pure sugar. this is not a real juice. >> now they come 25% less sugar. 50% less sugar. are those better options? >> it's a better option. but what i would do, if you have to get juice, and you shouldn't be drinking this every day -- you want something like this which says 100% pure juice. >> so this is apple juice, 100% juice. but still too high in sugar. why? >> yes. again, you don't get a lot of nutrition. that's the problem with these juices. even with 100% juice, you get a couple of vitamins, so it's better than nothing. and it's a little bit lower in sugar when it says 100% juice, but it has no nutritional value.

>> quickly, this has protein, but too high of a sugar content here? >> yeah. >> the strawberry is much more sugary. i think it's the same -- actually more than a hershey's chocolate bar. you could give your child a hershey's chocolate bar. if you have to do milk flavor with something sugary, do it with the chocolate. >> we thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> we actually appreciate your comments because it helps us with our mom deals. coming up, they lost their soldier son in iraq. when they went to go visit his grave, they found a construction zone. we are talking about heavy machinery right over the resting places of our heros. that family joining us live next. and facebook folding to pressure and cracking down on gun postings.

>> to date, i have not seen any evidence that shows where this was politically motivated or that the white house had anything to do with it. yet those are searches made by republicans. i've said it over and over again. all i want is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. for some reason, the chairman did not want to hear what i had to say today. he closed the hearing, barring me from saying one syllable. >> if the ranking member had wanted to make a motion before i adjourned, i would have accepted it. i adjourned. he then said he had a question. what you played there was after an adjournment. he then perked up and said, i want to ask a question. i said, what is your question? and thenç that exchange occurrd because he didn't have a question. he was endlessly slandering the efforts of the committee. >> so dumbings -- cummings, if

he had a statement would have let it go. he wanted to stop it. he's also frustrated. and if cummings believes there is no there there, then compel lois lerner to answer the question about some of her e-mails, interactions that talks about citizens united being a problem and that something that has to be addressed and citizens united would allow programs like the tea party groups and patriot organizations to organize. those were the ones held up that had such a big impact in 2010. i wish he would have used that time and his voice to yell at lois lerner and say, you're making me look back! i'm trying to defends you and you sit there and keep taking the fifth. >> it matters to the american people. they're elected officials and all the american people want is the truth. when asked in a recent poll, should congress continue to investigate this irs scandal? 71% answered yes. >> no one lost their job yet as a result of this. can you imagine that? no one lost their job. so we will not get answers from lois lerner. let us know what you think.

boy, is the in box and twitter and facebook exploding over the rutgers story, which rescinded the invitation to condoleeza rice to speak at the commencement address and when our own ainsley earhart -- >> they haven't rescinded it. a group of faculty members put together a petition to get her not toy're saying i'm happy i put my signature on this because we think she represents the misleading of our nation into war in iraq and also supporting a water boarding and torture techniques. ainsley earhart went down to the professors to question them about this very issue and whether or not they would support other people like hillary clinton who also is dealing with things like benghazi. >> she played a prominent role in the bush administration's effort to mislead the american people about the presence of weapons of mass destruction. at the very least, condoned the policy of enhanced interrogation techniques such as water boarding. that does it for me. >> pick ago commencement speaker

is honoring a speaker and also offering a a role model to students. i think we could make better choices than to pick condy rice for that role. >> commencement is a place where students should be happy and joyful and proud of their achievements and not be distracted by political controversies. >> it's not about republicans and democrats? >> not at all. not at all. i have very good republican friends and some of them are members of the tea party. that's not the issue. for me, it's the morality of what was done during the war. >> right. if that's true, you have republican friends, they're probably outraged at your ridiculous stance. especially at a woman who was the first african-american secretary of state, female secretary of state, the second one overall. national security advisor who was good enough somehow to get by the the stanford where she was a provost, but not worthy of speaking at rutgers. >> she has ten doctorates. >> a concert pianist.

>> underachiever. rutgers professors deserve an f for trying to ban condy rice, an intelligent, accomplished woman from the commencement speech. >> from kevin, having accepted the invitation from rutgers, she should attend regardless of the vocal opposition. the graduates need to hear what she has to say. >> ginger says, i'm with brian. condy should just back out on her own. she doesn't need this kind of insult. >> yeah. i would. i'd say hey, no problem. many other colleges want me. >> i say go for the students. the heck with the professors. >> let us know what you think about it. you can also weigh in on facebook as well. meanwhile, let's check if with heather nauert for a look at the headlines. >> 11 students do want -- all right, good morning to you. did you hear about this story? an american news anchor who is working for russian state television quits live on the air because of the crisis taking place in the ukraine. take a look at this.

>> personally i cannot be part of network funded by the russian government that white washes the actions of putin. i'm proud to be an american and believe in disseminating the truth and that is why after this newscast, i'm resigning. >> she said her own grandparents split hungary in order to escape soviet persecution. let's get her as a guest on the show. fox news alert. new photos from the oscar pistorius trial. earlier this morning, the blade runner crying in court, you can see this right here -- and he was also clutching his rosary beads as a neighbor described the moment he tried to revive reeva steenkamp after he had shot her. that neighbor, a doctor, ran to pistorius' house after he heard gun shots. pistorius claims that he shot his model girlfriend after misstayinging her for an intruder. dog is really man's best friend. take a look at max, a german

shepherd who is being hailed a hero for saving his owner's life. jack was fast asleep when carbon monoxide flood in his home in california. max woke up and dragged his owner, jack, out of bed. >> i finally woke up and wondered what the hell was going on because he had a hold of my arm. >> took a reading of the environment. we found 75 parts per million. to put that in perspective, we don our breathing gear at 25 parts per million. >> saved my life. that's all i can tell you. >> what a dog. max right there. that leak was caused by debris and soot that clogged the gas powered heater inside his house. and the woosification of america is heading north to canada. a youth basketball team there staging a protest after it was disqualified from a tournament. the team was undefeated. so the reason they were disqualified? all the players weren't getting equal time playing on the court.

that breaks the rules that promote fun and deemphasize winning. what do you think of that? those are your headlines. we're hearing a lot from some folk. >> thanks. >> one wrote and said if winning is demom sized in this league, why is there even a tournament to begin with? i added the to begin with. >> trudy says, the rule was everyone on your team must play. all other teams followed that rule except for the winning team that cheated. don't cheat. >> todd says the biggest problem in the word today is making everything equal. part of life's lesson, we can't all be as good in sports as others. true. i have two minds on this. you should go to win a game, try to win a game. but there are rules. in mine, the travel kids play second. the other kids play first. that's all the way through the playoffs. you're still trying to win the trophy. but if you sign up, you should have an opportunity to play and these kids are ten years old. i think they ought to play. >> i have a coach -- he played

every kid throughout and they felt good that they we want throughout as a team. >> you got to teach them how to lose and win. not everyone wins all the time. you learn from your loss. >> real simple. if you lose, blame the ref. if you don't win, blame the coach. these will help you in life. i believe at ten years old, you should play everybody. >> maria has less time for weather and i'm blaming brian. >> that's good! >> let's show you those current temperatures because out here in new york city, it's a nice, warm 17 degrees. so still looking at temperatures that are well below average across the northeast and that's the case across portions of the midwest, waking up to temperatures that were below zero today across portions of new england. your highs are a little better today than yesterday across cities like minneapolis, chicago, and cleveland. you're into the 30s today. 60s and 70s across texas. in rapid city, a nice mild 58 degrees. that's great news. across southeast, we have the

gravel and plastic row markers to align the headstones. and saw tractors running over the headstones. it just wasn't the way you should be doing a construction job. >> what was your reaction, joe? >> i knew that it had to be done, but it was the way in which they were doing it, brian. with the tractors running over the headstones once they were moved, that was very disturbing. >> you said it had to be updated. some were sinking. they had to have the construction there. but now you got representative paul cook involved and he's putting together something with veterans affairs called the dignity clause to make sure if you have to update something, it's done in a more caring way, right, laura? >> yes. i don't have a problem with the renovation. i hope they turn my son's last resting place the most beautiful cemetery in the country. i completely understand what they were doing. i was upset with the lack of

respect and honor at the way they did it. it just didn't seem that they should have been doing it that way without having some kind of instructions first of the hallow ground they're doing the construction in. >> joe, people will be outraged when they hear this. i know you formed a foundation, the seven stars foundation, correct? >> yes, we did. we established the foundation after we lost our son in iraq on february 7. it's a nonprofit. it has nine board members and we're an all volunteer board and foundation. and we work very hard to raise the funds. we have several fund-raisers we do each year. and what our purpose is is to send children of the fallen and the wounded to a local camp at big bear. right now it costs the
