broke out at a minnesota gym after a basketball game. police say people were even throwing weights at each other. six people were taken into custody. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. thanks for joining us. >> bye. >> good morning. it is monday, the tenths of march, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck this morning. a fox news alert. where is mall lay xian airlines flight 370. three days after the boeing 777 went missing in mid air still no answer and a global passport problem exposed. how safe are the skies? >> kpwoepl not working but -- obamacare not working but don't tell that to the mainstream media. >> you think there is a chance you can get obamacare repealed? every word? >> every word. what is funny is the media treats that as a bizarre proposition. >> well, it is. >> wait until you hear who

senator cruz is relying on. >> the terrifying moment a stage caved in as hundreds of high school students performed. what caused that crash. "fox & friends," as far as we can tell, starts now. >> good morning. welcome into "fox & friends." >> have you even gone to bed. you had all weekend going. >> on a marathon here. that's all right. >> and you perfectly match the couch. >> absolutely. >> can you see me? >> peter johnson in for steve doocy this morning. hi, brian. >> huge news coming your way. we have the latest on theukraine moment and of course this horrific news. >> day three, still no clues to the malaysian airplane. several reports of debris

spotted in the water but each one a dead end. we have the latest on the desperate search. >> reporter: one of the biggest mystery in the annals of aviation. investigators forcing on the likelihood that that malaysian airliner disintegrated on the flight. what was believed to be an airliner door floating in the water turned out to be no such thing. what was thought to be a possible life raft was a false alarm. concerns of oil slicks are being checked out. dozens of search ships and aircraft from seven different countries including the u.s. p-3 search plane are scouring for the airliners fate. the fact that there was no distress signal from the flight crew is an ominous sign. >> the number one rule is

aviate, navigate, communicate. if something went wrong with that aircraft the first thing they were going to try to do was maintain control of the aircraft. the second thing, get it to where they want it to go and the last thing is to try to tell somebody about it. >> it appears a fourth american, a woman from pennsylvania, was among the passengers on the missing aircraft. most of the others were chinese and malaysian nationals. back to you. >> now we find out about the interpol is looking into seeing if, if there were even more mysterious people who had passports that didn't belong to them. we know at least two. and they admit very few countries actually checked the data base for any stolen passports before you get on a plane. >> after 9/11 we thought a lot of security issues had been taken care of. now this has been exposed. we know that there are millions of illicit passports. two of the phony passports were stolen from thailand. several passengers actually stepped off this plane.

their baggage had been retrieved. four or five passengers got off this plane. more mysteries than facts at this point. >> right. both of these passports were stolen from thailand, one of them coming from austria, another one coming from italy. does that tell you anything? we spoke with a terrorism expert over the weekend who basically said this is something that is unfortunately common. it's a data base failure. we asked him if it could potentially happen here? he said i never trust those data bases 100%. congressman mike rogers, from the house intel committee, the chairman of that, said at this point they are not ruling out terror. take a listen. >> it is not common but not unheard of that stolen passports can be repurposed and used mainly for the quality of the passports themselves. given the right circumstances and in this case clearly it worked, they were able to board and gain entry and they would be doctored up. they would be individuals

who would have the skill set to change those passports just enough that they could identify with the individual that was using it. so what they'll do now is they'll go back to the airport and make some determination through cameras and other means to try to identify the individuals and then track that back. >> peter king said yesterday they had facial recognition of these guys. we just don't have the names to match the faces. christian kozell is the austrian name who exists. we also know both tickets for the stolen passports were bought consecutively within minutes of each other. >> so these two were together. >> it is interesting airlines individually, even american airlines, do not have the capacity to access this international crime statistics through interpol. only border agents can do that. obviously the equal equal la --

kuala lumpur border agents did not abg cease these passports. >> that is unsettling. at the same time who is to say these stolen passports weren't for something else criminal. yes, it was criminal but does it necessarily mean terrorism? maybe these two guys were together, not to speculate, it could have been drug smuggling. it could have been anything. we don't want to necessarily say -- >> that is a great question. they're looking at every single person in that manifest. it could be criminal activity and not terrorist activity. >> they take your passport and license, what do they do in there. >> are they placating us? >> is that something they get from toys 'r' us. >> in the u.s.a. they are looking at it in terms of a data base at least in international flights. they did not in malaysia. now they're looking at oil

slicks, alleged doors that are being found. >> the doors -- i didn't know the door was a dead end. >> not confirmed. a lot of questions. >> they're still looking at oil slicks around vietnam where they heard the last signals there. again, still looking. >> one of the people that lost their lives -- in fact, one of the americans, we have children two and four, phillip woods did lose his life. his brothers spoke out about him. what kind of guy he was. >> phil was -- he was a man of his word, just a wonderful guy. he loved us and was very generous with his money and his time and his love and took care of people without anybody knowing about it. he was an incredible artist. just an adventurer. he just wanted to get out and see as much as he could.

>> in one of his e-mails recently he said every day is a gift. that's how he lived. he approached it, where he just appreciated life. i think he actually became very laid back and viewed each day as its own day. and -- sorry. >> so tough. 239 stories like that. you wonder how long it is going to take for them to get some answers. in 1996, t.w.a. 800, it took over a year to rule out terrorism. it is awhile that these families are going to be waiting for answers. >> meanwhile at eight minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert has been following the rest of the news breaking around the world and there is a lot to cover. >> there certainly is. brian, nice to have you back. we start with a fox news alert. while you were sleeping california residents feeling the rumble of a major earthquake overnight.

the u.s. geological survey says the magnitude 6.9 quake hit off the coast of northern california near eureka around 10:15 p.m. local time. residents reported feeling this quake as far south as san francisco and as far north as oregon. no one was hurt but we'll keep you posted. terrifying moments in california when a stage comes crashing down during a high school performance. dozens of students were hurt and some of them had to go to the hospital. witnesses described the chaos in the moments after the collapse. >> right in the middle of it and the girls dropped. all the ones that were in the front they dropped about ten feet into the pit. it was at the end of the show. they were getting ready to judge the contestants and everything just came to a screeching halt. >> there were nearly 250 girls on that stage when the supports gave way.

cover or distancing themselves. what about bringing them to justice instead or stopping them in their tracks? this man knows about the dangers firsthand and did a movie on this and joins us now. dennis, your reaction to our new policy? >> this is about the size of a rock. >> what are you going to do right now? >> i would duck. or if i had a gun i might fire and make you not throw that rock. then i'd be in trouble. >> this studio is much like the desert in arizona and in texas. there is nowhere to hide. they want the border patrol agents to back off and duck. where? so basically, what's happening now -- no joke -- is that if you are an legal legal -- illegal worker or a member of ms-13 or a terrorist, you can now get to the border.

>> what did you notice when you were down there in terms of the danger and what do you think a rule like this does to the border guards who does this every single day? >> the one thing i've come away with after making two films about this is the border patrol agents are very frustrated. they feel as if they cannot do their job because they're being handcuffed by the higher ups at d.h.s. the higher ups at d.h.s. are lawyers. they don't understand anything about this. what happens is the morale goes down. the border patrol agents, they become crossing guards really if you think about it. on top of that, the other part of the document that you left out was drug cartels. they say if a vehicle comes through, don't discharge your firearm against the vehicle. stay out of the way. how do you think the drugs get through? they get through by people coming through with rocks and they get through with trucks that come through the border. >> i want you to take a look at what homeland security is saying about this new rule and how beneficial it actually is. let's take a look at the quote as we understand it. in fact, if we can pull

that up right now, that would be beneficial. here it is. this, according to skwra*eu johnson. i want to commend chief fischer on this directorrive released today which provides further guidance to the border patrol workforce to lessen the likelihood of deadly force. do you think they're rejoicing at the border? >> this is all part of the united states of obama as i call it. his plan is to give emnecessity. i can garn -- his plan to give amnesty. if you give amnesty to 20 million, 30 million people that change the country. >> what do you say to people in the hispanic community that are upset at him for deporting so many? >> i don't believe that. i spoke to a lot of hispanics in making my films. they don't condone illegal behavior. they don't condone it at all. that's just b.s. you hear on television all the time.

it's not true. people love the rule of law. the people who came here legally, hispanics that came here legally, this diminishes what they did by saying bring a rock, come across and you'll wind up getting citizenship. >> dennis, you have two films about this. you were alarmed about this. you feel the more people see it -- >> the problem is it's only fox. no joke. it is only fox that covers stories like this. the mainstream media never touches it, and i'm not kidding. you put this in your bag if you're an illegal immigrant wanting to cross the border and based on these rules you are going to get through. >> got you. dennis michael lynch has done two films on this. i'll continue to follow it and continue to tap into your expertise. >> thanks, brian. want the rock? >> thank you. 19 minutes after the hour. ahead, it went missing mid

where would we be looking and why is it your instinct that it may be terrorism? >> when i talk to people in the intelligence community they are saying the closest match based on the details of the case that they know is that this would be purposely perpetrated that this was an act of terrorism. no proof at this point, but you look at the details and that seems to be what's matching. what would be the target? what was the message they were trying to send? the majority of the passengers were chinese. this was a flight going from malaysia to china. what is the group going after china? the east turkistan islamist movement. they recently carried out a major knife attack in china. >> these are chinese separatists also linked to al qaeda. what is the movement? >> what they say they're fighting for is a jihad to get independence for a muslim providence of china. >> these are the folks responsible for that horrific attack with the

knives where 30 or so people were killed. we have heard nothing. there has been no chatter, no claims of responsibility. how does that link up? >> you would think they would immediately come out and claim responsibility but in the past they have waited up to a month to claim responsibility. while that may seem odd that is actually well within their m.o. >> you've indicated there is another group that would raise some suspicion if in fact they were involved. jama islamia. who are they? >> the east turkistan islamic movement is not known to have advanced explosive capabilities which is why some specialists are looking into the direction of j.i., essentially al qaeda's branch in indonesia, in malaysia. we know they have operated in thailand, most known for the bombings in bali. >> at this point the c.i.a. and other national security agencies for malaysia, for the chinese government,

would you believe they are looking closely at the notion of terrorism with regard to this plane going down? >> i know they're looking closely at that. >> why is that? >> first of all, you can look at the press reports and they say it. secondly, when i talk to people in the intelligence community, like i said these are the groups i'm hearing coming up in the conversations and both are linked to al qaeda. it is possible they work together or it might be that j.i. decided they wanted to take up the cause of the chinese islamist group and help them out by carrying out this attack. >> what we in america are waking up to is this report from interpol that last year one billion flights -- one billion passenger trips, there was no passport check through interpol even though we know millions of passports are stolen. that's a real, real problem, isn't it? >> absolutely. we know the stolen passports were inserted into the interpol data base. unfortunately, interpol says no country accessed that data base to check these passports. >> thanks for your skaoupbt

obamacare repealed, every word as you say? >> what's funny is the media treats that as a bizarre proposition. >> it is because -- it is a bizarre proposition. >> it is the most unpopular law in the country. millions of people have lost their jobs, lost their health care, forced into part-time work, have their premiums skyrocketing. right now washington isn't listening to those paoefplt that is how we win elections. that is also how we repeal obamacare. >> he is almost mocking him there, isn't he? what about these headlines we've had recently designed to help the democrats, for example the delay of obamacare, helping them in the mid term elections. what about in oregon where they accidentally signed up 4,000 illegal immigrants which wasn't supposed to happen. what about the subsidy where if you earn a dollar over the threshold you can spend an additional $20,000. >> you decide why the abc

reporter is ultimately laughing at senator cruz. however a new union report said obamacare is going to slash wages by up to $5 an hour. and united here, a hospital union that represents waiters and other folks around the country, they wrote if employers follow the incentives in the law, obamacare, they will push families on to the exchange to buy coverage. this will force low-wage, service industry employees to spend $2, $3 or even $5 an hour of their wages. >> they they have not publicly in mass numbers turned on obamacare because they think at the last minute he's going to carve something out for them. so far everyone else has gotten carveouts.

>> a lot of people have backed away from the president. we've seen celebrities back away. will unions be next. this will cause them to spend thousands of dollars initially. >> jonathan karl is right about this. there is no way the president will sign the repeal of obamacare. it will have to happen, if it is going to happen, with the next president. >> i think what senator cruz is saying and i think what we see with unite here is the times are kind of changing and even democrats are beginning to turn. you're right to say his signature legislation, he turn his back on it -- >> just an ego thing. >> all right. heather nauert is poised to tell us something we need to know. >> thanks, brian. 36 minutes after the hour. news out of boston. tougher security measures

>> i was extremely lucky. the potential was very high for that plane, for me to have come in contact with it or to have slammed into the ground. >> what a skilled pilot. no surprise here perhaps. that pilot was a world war ii veteran and he's been flying for more than 60 years. think all that experience paid off. >> a new effort is underway in the state of new jersey that would allow illegal immigrants to legally drive in that state. under the proposed bill driving privileged cards -- that is what they would be called -- would be issued to people who cannot prove they are in the united states legally but can prove they live in new jersey. under current law immigrants must have a temporary visa status to get a license. taxpayers in california really outraged after learning a cash-strapped california school district spent more than $38,000 to send some administrators to

of control, just one teen who needs some attention or another sign of an entitlement millenial generation? >> here to weigh in is former miss america. what do you think, does it have a point at all? >> obviously not. parents who have earned a living, they've done exactly that. they've earned it. they deserve it because they've paid into their retirement. they've paid into their life. what rachel has to learn, unfortunately, is those things take hard work that she's got to know she walked out of her house willingly. now it's her job -- >> there are consequence. >> exactly. you have to earn what you work for. >> but if you shaped that person, are you responsible for that person who they've become? >> to a point. of course, i feel great compassion for her parents that have had to deal with this entire situation, but it should be a cautionary tale to parents to say how did this generation of young people, some of them, get like this? how did they develop this mentality?

parents share a little responsibility for that and creating that child. they're responsible to a point. as soon as that child turns 18, it's their responsibility. >> you're a person of responsibility and discernment. if you had the chance to speak to rachel, what would you say to her and the parents? >> first of all, to rachel, i'd try to encourage they are live out where she's living with this millionaire attorney funding her case, probably trying make name for himself. so to try to get her aquay from the people enabling her and say you have an incredible life ahead of you have. there are millenials who have incredible jobs and pushing themselves and she can do it, too. her life isn't over. >> what would you say to the parents about rachel to make them better you understand the problems she's having? >> i think parents feel lot of guilt if their child does something wrong. parents have a responsibility, but also it's not -- once their children leave, it's time to let them go. to not take it upon themselves. it's okay.

>> do you think this comes from the hedonistic society with social media? is it lax destine in school, degradation of the family? where does it come from that kids feel entitled? >> there are so many factors. this isn't the first time you've seen children rise up against their parents. these growing pains are going to happen, but eventually they're going to grow up and realize, oh, i need to pay for my life. so it's a combination of factors, but i do see hope and other millenials working very hard. >> it was a great line that bill cosby said when his kids say, are we rich? he said yeah, mommy and i are rich, but you're not. >> there is a hearing to decide whether the parents will have to pay the tuition. everybody e-mail us, what do you think about this. >> thanks so much. still ahead, survey says women are better investors than men. ha, ha. the reasons why are just

revealed. >> donald trump will weigh in on that. plus his pick for the future stars of the republican party at the top of the hour coming up on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ . ♪ ♪ nothing's missed with tena twist... ♪ because tena gave you a new outlook, we've given tena a whole new look. ♪ nothing's missed with tena twist... ♪ ♪ don't miss a beat... ♪ nothing's missed with tena twist... ♪ presenting the fresh, new face of fearless protection. ♪ nothing's missed with tena twist... ♪

good morning. it is monday, the 10th of march, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. fox news alert. where is malaysia airlines flight 370? three days after the boeing 777 went missing in midair, still no answers. a global passport problem exposed. how safe are the skies and what happened in the cockpit? >> and donald trump, is he killing off jimmy carter? >> we're getting into jimmy carter territory. and i never thought i'd see anything like that again. i lived through that time and it was not a good time. and we're pretty close. i think maybe by next month we will have surpassed the late

great jimmy carter. >> donald trump on what he meant coming up next. and from sound to sleep to dancing queen in a split second. ♪ ♪ thatted video is going virile this morning. with video like that, you got to believe that mornings are better with friends. >> hi, everybody. you're watching "fox & friends." they're awesome, baby! >> dick vitel is getting tuned up for march madness. >> absolutely. big news this morning. a fox news alert. mystery deepens in the disappearance of a malaysia airlines plane. there have been several reports of debris spotted in the water, but each time crews rush to the scene, they find nothing. >> reporter steve joins us live in washington, d.c. with the latest on the desperate search.

what can you tell us now? >> reporter: good morning. it's shaping up to be one of the biggest mysteries in the anals of aviation. investigators focusing on the likelihood that malaysian airliner with 239 people on board disintegrated in midair. anxious family members await any word whatsoever. but thereby no confirmation of anything. what was believed to be an airliner door turned onto to be nothing. what was believed to be a possible life raft was also a false alarm. no debris field has been confirmed and possible oil slicks are being investigated. dozens of ships and aircraft from seven different country, including the u.s., are now scouring that area for any evidence of the airliner's fate. the fact that there was no distress signal coming from the flight crew is an ominous sign. >> in aviation, the number one rule is aviator, navigate, communicate. something went wrong with the aircraft. the first thing they were going to do is try to maintain control

of the aircraft. the second thing they're going to try to do is get it to where they want it to go. the last thing they're going to do is try to tell somebody about it. >> it appears a fourth american a woman from pennsylvania, was among the passengers. most of the others were chinese and malaysian nationals. back to you. >> thanks for that. three minutes after the hour. waiting on donald trump in a matter of moments, he'll be joining us. until then, heather nauert has other breaking news, including an earthquake. >> this happening overnight in california. about 10:30 local time. while you were sleeping, california residents having a major earthquake. the u.s. geological survey says the 6.9 quake hit off the coast of northern california near eureka about 10:15 p.m residents reported feeling the quake as far south as san francisco and as far north as oregon. no injuries have been reported just yet. we'll keep watching this. in the meantime, terrifying

moments in southern california when a stage comes crashing down during a high school performance. take a look at this. dozens of students were hurt. some of them hospitalized. witnesses there describe the chaos and the moments after the stage collapsed. >> right in the middle of it, the girl is dropped. all of the ones in the front dropped about ten feet into the pit. it was already at the end of the show. they were getting ready to judge the contestants and everything came to screeching halt. >> there were nearly 250 girls on the stage. the supports gave way. investigators are looking into the weight limit for that stage and if there were any warning signs that were ignored. heading overseas, president obama, he wrapped up a weekend of galvestoning here in the united states and be headed back to washington, d.c what we're talking about is what's going on with the ukraine and the president will meet with

the ukrainian prime minister in washington on wednesday. the prime minister is looking to the united states for support after refusing to budge what she said was a single centimeter on russia's push to invade. this comes as military analysts, including former defense secretary robert gates, raised doubts about the future of that region. listen to this. >> no question it's an aggressive, illegitimate act. the question is whether anybody can do anything about it. i do not believe that crimea will slip out of russia's hands. >> you think crimea is gone? >> i do. >> boy. the people of crimea will officially take sides and a referendum vote that is held on the 16th of this month. and boys will be boys, but what about girls? >> you're just a woman with a small brain. with a brain a third the size of us. it's science.

>> okay. there is a new report that says ron burgundy has it all wrong when it comes to investing money. according to a new study by prudential, this is because women focus on longer term goals instead of spending right away. they also tend to ask for directions. more than 40% of women asked for advice from a professional about investing, while men tend to go it alone. women also tend to take more time to research their investments, unlike men who make decisions faster and with less information. and this happened to me over the weekend with my husband. i had questions and he thought he into knew all the answers. that's just the way it goes. >> more level headed, that's all. >> for somebody to bring in to be the tie breaker on who is better investing, let's ask donald trump. you heard the study. you've taken notes. do you believe that heather is right in saying women are better investors for those reasons, or men? >> well, i believe that heather,

who i met a number of times, is very smart, but i think it really depends on the woman or the man. i've known some terrible women investors. i've known women that were horrible with money and i've known some that are very good. i really think it depends on who the person is. >> okay. so you're going to take it on a case by case basis? >> yeah. i've known great men investor, horrible investors. i've known likewise with women. i think that it really depends on who the person is. i think the study is ridiculous. >> we may like our handbags and our shoes and things, but men's toys are much bigger with the boats, cars. >> right. in that case, there is a much different -- although men have bigger feet for the most part. can we talk, donald, about what the jobless numbers came in on friday? a lot of people are rejoicing because there were more jobs added to the economy than originally thought. were you? >> no. the numbers are incorrect. the numbers really weren't being

rejoiced either, if you really think about it, because tremendous numbers of people are out of work. probably the real number is about 21, 22%. people that aren't looking for jobs are not included in those numbers. the real numbers are not 6.7%. the real numbers are probably close to 21, 22%, which is almost a record. there was one number that came out having to do with committee and having to do with joblessness, the worst in 36 years. so nobody is rejoicing, but they're trying to find little tidbits of niceties in the numbers that come out. >> why is it so bad, donald? why are these numbers so bad? >> i happen to think they're bad because other countries are making our products. i've been saying that for five years on your show and i've been saying it for a long time and other countries, whether it's china or many other countries, and mexico now is really doing a big number on us. mexico is taking a lot of our business. this is our next-door neighbor. but we've made it so good for mexico, you do business in

mexico, you get medals. frankly, so many other countries are taking our business. >> in many cases, you're not for all these free trade agreements? >> i think you have to have smart people negotiate them. i think free trade is wonderful, but i like to use the word fair trade. you have people negotiate that probably never negotiated before. they're diplomats and not business people. we need very, very sharp business people. i could put people in that are so sharp that these other countries wouldn't have a chance. we would eat their lunch, but we don't have those people negotiating. we have people that are either not very smart or have no ability at business or whatever. we used to be the king and now we're like a dope. >> you're a big speaker at cpac. here is a look at some of the people and some of the highlights from last weekend. >> the president who believes by the shear force his personality he would be able to shape global events. >> my question now is the same question i had then.

if that's your attitude, mr. president, what the hell are we paying you for? >> immigration, we're either a country or we're not. we either have borders or we don't. >> get out of the health care business! get out of the education business! stop hammering industry! let the sleeping giant of american enterprise create prosperity again! >> you need to go out and talk to people. everybody you know. have the discussion. don't let the left shut you up. >> the only thing rising in his la-la land is the russian empire i'm sorry. but really, i'm probably being too hard on the president. after all, who could have seen this coming? >> if you have a cell phone, you were under surveillance. i believe what you do on your cell phone is none of their damn business. >> all right. and donald, i know you were speaking there without a teleprompter. i imagine there is a little symbolism behind that, letting

everybody know. but who are your picks about the stars from cpac? rand paul taking 31% of the straw poll, winning that. does that say something about the libertarian future of the party. >> i got to know him last weekend. we actually were together. he really is a nice guy. he's a good guy. i really know pretty much all of them. it was a lot of good talent in that room. i don't think the media gives it a lot of credit, but there was a lot of good talent in that room. there was a tremendous job. they put on a fantastic conference, cpac. they really did a good job. al cardonas, the whole group really did a fantastic job. if you saw the way it was run, the way it was managed, how professionally done it was, and i don't know if it comes out that way, frankly, 'cause i've seen so many negative statements about it. but i will say that it was really -- cpac did a fantastic job. >> you talked about the real problems we have in this country. let's watch together a little

piece of it during your speech. >> we're getting into jimmy carter territory. and i never thought i'd see anything like that again. i lived through that time and it was not a good time. and we're pretty close. i think maybe by next month we will have surpassed the late great jimmy carter. >> okay. late great jimmy carter. what exactly did that mean? >> well, i was just having fun. in fact, i watched a television show on jimmy carter earlier. there was some statements made him that were very negative. i was being sarcastic and having fun. but i was comparing the president, our current president, with jimmy carter. i was actually being very nice to jimmy carter because i said that jimmy carter was actually better president than the one we have right now. so jimmy carter should be extremely happy to know that he's no longer the worst president of our time. >> and he's still alive. >> oh, yeah. he's still alive. well, i actually tweeted that. obviously he's alive.

i've known he's alive. but he wasn't very alive when he was president, i can tell you that. he did not do a very good job as president and i thought he would go down as our worst president. but he is not. our worst president right now is sitting in office, sadly. that's what that was referring to. >> i got to say, congratulations on what a tournament you hosted over the weekend. at the doral which you bought successfully. you win this pga event. we thought we had a tiger woods charging on the third day. but on the fourth day, it was about as back and about a 23-year-old. >> this 23-year-old really can play. i give tying arrest lot of credit. he was not doing well. his back is really in bad shape. he had a fantastic round on saturday. fantastic. he shot a 66, which is right now the course record. and he played great. tiger was ailing, to put it mildly. but the tournament was a fantastic success. the attendance was way, way up. the highest. we built an amazing trump

national doral is amazing. the blue monster is a monster again. the score was 4 under par. you don't see that. usually you'll see 25 under, 22 under. >> congratulations. thanks so much, donald trump. >> thank you very much. >> all right. back in a moment with the latest on that missing plane.

now to your top news story. we still have no clues to what happened to the missing malaysia airlines flight 370. >> could it have had a mechanical failure without anything on the ground know being it? joining us to give his point of view is former air traffic controller, robert mark. a lot of people are fixated on these two passengers with fake passports. do you believe it's a red herring.

why? >> well, it happens all the time that unfortunately these passports get passed up on the database. so it could turn out to be something, but again, it's not the be all and end all, i don't think, in this situation. >> another development that we had over the weekend that a lot of people are talking about was the possibility that the plane actually changed direction right at the time of that last electric signal. you're not so sure you buy that either. >> well, again, the area between vietnam and malaysia is not a very long distance. maybe 300 miles between the two pieces of land. and we can't quite tell yet if it's complete radar coverage or if it's what we call adsb, which is a different electronic form of being able to track the airplanes. but they would be looked at maybe every minute or so and for it to just disappear and never see it again at all, that's

very, very odd. >> it's odd and would it be possible for it to happen without an air traffic controller knowing it or us understanding it? >> sure. that is possible. when air france 447 disappeared, of course, it was in a much wider stance of the south atlantic, but again, the air traffic radar again -- and i'm not completely sure where it went down, so that's why we're a little hesitant about how much information has been -- it looks at the aircraft differently. but again, it's just so strange that there wasn't any kind of update after that -- i should say that last hit. >> yeah. a jet liner doesn't just disappear from the sky. everybody is wondering what possibly could have happened. they've expanded the search from 20 nautical to 50 nautical miles. some experts say there is a possibility that almost just evaporated and gone into bits. what is the evidence of the

debris field you're look for and what does all of it mean? >> well, the unfortunate part is that for an airplane to just simply vanish is not a good sign because that could indicate a potential midair explosion and there wasn't enough left to cause any kind of radar trail or information trail at all. but again, the amount of water -- the distance between vietnam and malaysia is probably the size of the state of pennsylvania. so there really is quite a bit of water that needs to be investigated. how many boats and how many aircraft the local authorities are putting into this, we don't really know. and so of course, it did take five days before we found the first parts of the air france airplane as well. >> yeah. took five days and two years to get the fuselage. thanks so much. we'll continue to speculate and have you back as we get more information. tens of thousands of foreign students come to this country for their education. so what happens when they graduate? the government loses track of them. wait until you hear this.

responder who first discovered that cross joins us now. frank, good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us about what you think about this controversy. the atheists don't want the cross that you discovered at the 9-11 site at the pile after that act. they don't want it put into the 9-11 museum for all to see. what's your reaction? >> my reaction is simple. i never claimed it to be a religious icon. i accepted it as a symbol of faith. on 9-11, our faith was destroyed. as the country suffered a traumatic loss. it is part of history for the fact that it brings people to their faith no matter what denomination it might be. even an atheist is claiming the

faith. atheism. so i'm not denying them the right to have their faith. but it should not be denied to society that they look this cross as they walk toward the museum -- >> let me ask you this, how did you find it? what did you see on that day and what you did you feel? and isn't this part of our american history? >> it is part of our american history for our forefathers fought for the freedom with faith in their heart. the pilgrims came here for freedom with faith in their hearts. christopher columbus found this new world with faith in his heart. so when it comes to looking at that cross, it's to be helping people look at their faith, to help them view the traumatic situation such as devastation of 9-11. >> i'm familiar with this 'cause i was actually involved in this lawsuit and i got some people who were wrongfully sued out of

this case. in terms of what we are as a nation, what have we come to, frank? you suffered terribly disabling injuries as a result of your work in the pile after 9-11. as a real patriot. now we say we should censure history. what is that about? >> i believe that they have nothing on their plate to have a voice with. with this they could have a voice. if they wanted two minutes of fame, have your two minutes of fame. but as i say for america, that cross represents history in the fashion of faith. faith that this country will survive, will strive, will come back from the ashes and become still the greatest nation in the world. >> frank, that's a living testament as we go out on this monday morning. i thank you for your service and i thank you for being here on

and 2014, $552 million. that's more than half of all the giving to political campaigns. >> so who are the top union political donors and where do the koch brothers fit in in this scheme of numbers? >> if you look at the top three donors over the past 25 years, the top one is act blue. that's solidly democratic. number two, a union, acme. number three, a union. which happens to give to both parties, but strongly gives toward the democrats. now, the koch brothers, they have not contributed anywhere near like the money that the unions have contributed. >> number 59. >> number 59, right. but the point here is that the unions have bought influence. they have bought power. the unions oppose charter schools. in new york, they're killing charter schools. >> even though they work very well indeed. they're killing free trade deals. they got a pass on the cadillac tax under obamacare. they're all in favor.

with so many young people down in our country, how can we change the mindset of millenials? joining us is sarah greek, thomas edison state university who wrote a piece. good morning to you. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. happy monday. >> thank you. and the piece was called, the joke that was america, and it came about after you did a google search of what? >> well, i was searching this country is a, and the also option were, this country is a joke. that was the first thing that came up, followed by this country is bad ass, this country is a mess. and i thought, why are people searching this? and i was hearing comments during the government shutdown from peers, this country is a joke. there was just a lot of flip ancy and it really bothered me. >> i want to get your take on how you think all this is going to be affecting midterm elections and the presidential election coming up, too, because let's take a look at unemployment in america. the labor participation rate is

at 63%. that's the lowest since 1978. the youth unemployment rate, this number is at 21.4%. a lot of the youth were ardent supporters of president obama. so where do they stand now? >> i'm hearing a lot of disappointment and i'm hearing a lot of frustration. that's channeled, i think, as flippancy. to me, i think of it as the first resort of a person who feels helpless. millenials are feeling helpless. but my hope is that that flippancy is channeled into becoming more informed and taking steps to make a difference instead of using those bad numbers as an opportunity to check out and lose hope. >> let's look at another issue. food stamps, welfare. the percentage of the population on food stamps last year rose to 50%. that's the highest level ever. 47 million people are on that. the numbers have doubled under president obama. of course, people who need food

stamps, you want to make sure that they get them. but when you have a nation who is relying on the government like this so much, what kind of message does that send to our youth? >> yeah, when you have a government that teaches a certain portion of the population that treats them like children and wonders why they remain dependent, we are living in a society increasingly that's governed by policies that don't make sense. there is so much red tape, there is so much disincentive. so there is a lot to complain about. but me personally, i took a -- i made a commitment a couple years ago that i would not complain about problems i saw in the world unless i were making pro-active steps to be part of the solution. and i found that since i did that, i complain a lot less and i do a lot more. to the extent that we equip ourselves with information, we can speak into that gap and not feel helpless by it. >> another statistic that is making the youth feel a bit helpless, you say, how about

this one? let's compare education rates. 17th in reading. 26th in math. what needs to be done in this arena? >> i love what william butler yates said, education is the no the filling of a bucket, it's the lighting of a flame. to the ex tents that we're a bureaucracy, we cheat the people we educate. to the extent that education equips them for life, education is a success. so i am looking forward to less bureaucracy in education. i want to see more dynamic learning. i want to see a flame being lit instead of creativity being stifled. >> take that message and hopefully you light a fire there. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. 48 minutes after the hour. how far are you willing to go to defends your religious belief? that's the central question in the new political thriller "persecuted," coming to a box office near you. one of the stars of that movie,

writer and director. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having us. >> fred, i know one of the biggest themes of this you say is the abuse of power and what can happen. >> yeah. >> what are the dangers of that? >> well, the movie is indicated as a washington thriller, but within it is a pretty serious message and it has to do with abuse of power. it has to do with the ability that in this case, the government would have in its normal processes, legislative executive branch, to basically tell a ministry what to do and not to do through legislation. good sounding legislation. and what happens when, in this case, this evangelical stands up to it and refuses to go along with it and therein lies the heart of the story and the political thriller aspect of the movie. it's about something important, but it's entertaining also. >> you are the writer, the producer and director of this

movie. how hard was it to have it made? >> how hard is it to explain all those titles? >> based on the type of movie that it is. looks like it's exciting. >> it's hard to get any movie made, first of all. but especially one when you're kind of new on the scene that has these high themes to get cast, though, like fred thompson and gretchen carlson, james remar. those are the guys who championed the movie and made it possible for to us get it made. in the end, it's the audience right now that is kind of created a big stir about this across the country. >> you ripped it from the headlines in a way. >> i wrote it five years ago, so ultimately it's kind of come into its own and people are calling it stranger than fiction. but people are feeling this way all across the country. in fred thompson's character, one of people's favorite lines where he sakes people are look for a symbol for truth and freedom. someone who will stand up against all the lies because they can't silence the truth. i think that's the way people are looking for a voice right now and really no matter what side of the political aisle you're on, i think it's

something -- >> how was fred in the movie? >> fred was amazing. >> he's giving an understatement it was obviously not my typical role. >> it was -- wasn't typecasting. >> first time as a priest. >> ultimately all the cast in the movie dedicated themselves to the characters. james remar, everyone. so much so into their characters that they -- >> go out and see "persecuted." fred thompson is in it and daniel wrote and directed it. >> we need the audience to stand behind the movie because it was an independent film. we need people to go to persecutedmovie.com to bring the movie out. >> hits theaters may 9. thanks. play close. good and close.

good morning. it is monday, the 10th of march, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. the search for that missing plane intensifying and we have breaking news on those oil slicks. and did you see this? a reporter mocking ted cruz while he interviews senator cruz. >> you honestly think there is a chance that you could get obamacare repealed, every word, as you say? >> every word. >> you know what's funny, john, is the media treats that as a bizarre proposition. >> well, it is. >> just another case of media bias? bret baier here to react. plus, the terrifying moment

a stage caves in. high school students crash to the ground. watch. >> wow. "fox & friends" final hour on this monday starts now. >> you're watching the number one morning show in cable news. "fox & friends." i love these guys. ♪ ♪ >> the most phenomenal coffee line in new york city history, because the dugger family is here. >> they've got a new book out from the four oldest siblings. i think these are the friendliest people in the city of new york. >> absolutely. >> never would you ever see anybody out there like this. >> it is sticky. there is some glaze. the whole family lines up in support of the authors of the book and they're also in support of all getting coffee. eastern -- even the children.

>> we have serious news. we start with the fox news alert. learning the oil slicks found do not appear to be from the missing malaysia airline plane. officials say they are still conducting tests. dozens of ships and aircraft around the world continue to scan the waters in hopes of finding clues as to what happened. there have been spotting of debris in the water, but each time crews rush to the scene, they find nothing. >> now investigators focusing on the possibility the plane disintegrated in midair. where you go with thatigation we possibility of having no evidence. joining us, bret baier, i'm sure will be the focus of "special report." welcome to the week. this is what we're focusing on now. a lot of talk about terror over the weekend with chairman rogers and peter king weighing in. your thoughts? >> good morning. this is a real mystery. this thing, this plane just disappearing essentially.

they're looking at a lot of theories, according to u.s. officials, talking to interpol as well. centering around these two stolen passports, one from thailand in 2012, and another one in 2013. both of those on the airplane. people using those stolen passports were on the airplane when it went down. and there is some indication that the airplane was turning around mid flight, not confirmed. but one person in vietnam tied to the investigation saying there was indication that the plane may have been trying to turn around. >> was this a hijacking that was happening and the plane was turning around? the fact that those are not the oil slicks is adding to this mystery even further. >> right. bret running into dead ends with the oil slick, with the potential of the raft they thought, the door they thought. dead end after dead end, it seems it will be a while before we get answers. as we focus on these passports,

interpol admitted this is something that is actually quite prevalent. do we need to dive into this more? >> this is a major, major problem. the fact that you have passports stolen and people buying tickets that are not cross checked internationally to the extent that they need to be is a big problem, especially since you have the national intelligence director just a couple of months ago up on capitol hill, james clapper, testifying that they know that al-qaeda is trying to launch other airplane attacks. especially with operations out of syria and yemen. they have intelligence indicating that not only americans and westerners with valid passports that they're trying to get plots to attack western targets and airliners, but stolen passports that that might be a possibility. here you have an incident -- we're not saying this is

definitively terrorism, but raises the prospect it could be. >> so we have the president of the united states, as we move to the ukraine crisis -- we have the president of the united states speaking for over an hour, two separate times, with putin, angela merkel, same thing. david ram ron, same thing. more and more enforcements are going into the crimea area. what are your thoughts? >> i mean, you have this sense that putin is not backing down. in fact, he's stepping up in the face of increased sanctions, putting more troops in there, publicly acknowledging the referendum that's going to take place in crimea to side and essentially secede from ukraine and side with russia. it doesn't seem like any of the threats of potential economic actions are sinking in. so every world leader is saying putin is saying no.

>> bret, at least one professor at nyu and princeton was making the comparison between this crisis and the cuban missile crisis back in the '60s. is there that sense of crisis and urgency with regard to the ukraine in washington, d.c.? do you see that? >> i don't see it from the leaders here. i just don't see the urgency from the administration. some of the talking, peter, doesn't seem to that level. it doesn't seem like privately they are to that level. the president talked to a lot of world leaders, but he was on vacation down in the keys and there is this sense that perhaps crimea is gone as was said over the weekend. >> by secretary gates. also it is gone and also jfk didn't go golfing during the cuban missile crisis. the president was. abc sat down with ted cruz, one

of the hottest interviews you can have right now. listen to how it went with jonathon karl, ted cruz, talking about the senator's top topic and that's obamacare. >> there is one thing that unified politicians of both parties is their top priority is preserving their own hide. if enough congressional democrats realize they either stand with obamacare and lose or they listen to the american people and have a chance at staying in office, that's the one scenario we could do it in 2015. if not, we'll do it in 2017. >> do you honestly think there is a chance that you can get obamacare repealed, every word, as you say? >> every word. >> with obama in the white house? >> you know what's funny, john, is the media treats that as a bizarre proposition. >> well, it is. >> it is the most unpopular law in the country. millions of people lost their job, lost their health care, have been forced into part-time work, have their premiums skyrocketing. and right now washington isn't listening to those people. that's how we win elections. that's also how we repeal

obamacare. >> bret, maybe it is or maybe it isn't far fetched to think the entire thing will get repealed. you can judge for yourself. everybody at home judging by all the negative headlines with obamacare in the political shelt that are is needed for the democrats as they would say. but for him to go on a main street media sunday show and essentially be mocked, what do you make of that? >> listen, i think you guys -- i understand what jonathon karl is saying. with president obama in the white house, politically, just by numbers, it's going to be really tough to get the votes to repeal obamacare because again, even if you had the house and the senate, you'd have a veto. obviously president obama is not going to say, you know what? let's repeal obamacare. and if he vetoes it, then you have to get two-thirds to overturn that. it's tough to imagine that you would have the votes to have a

two-thirds majority to turn that back. i think they were talking past each other there and that's where the dustup came. if you have the white house, then could you repeal obamacare? yeah. legitimately, you would have the house and the senate and the white house, you could potentially repeal every word. >> as an exit question, is there anything other than politics that's motivating the white house to push back and delay the obamacare provisions? >> is there anything -- >> besides politics, anything besides politics causing the white house to push back the obamacare provisions. >> no. listen, the latest, at the podium they said it wasn't about politics, there were other officials saying, listen, we have to get past the election. hillary clinton said as much at a speech the same day the white house was saying it's not about politics. of course just to get past the election and to give democrats

some breathing room, especially some of these red state democrats who are really feeling the pinch already in polls, specifically on the issue of obamacare. >> bret baier, we'll watch it tonight at 6:00 o'clock on "special report." >> we always watch you. you are the very best. >> see you guys. heather nauert has a look at what else is making headlines. >> good morning to you. other things going on. we start with a fox news alert. while you were sleeping, california residents feeling the rumble of a major earthquake, as well as some smaller trembles. the magnitude 6.9 quake hit off the coast of northern california, 50 miles west of eureka around 10:15 p.m residents in that area reported feeling this quake as far south as san francisco and as far north as oregon. no injuries have been reported. this quake was the largest on the west coast since that 7.2 baha, california quake back in 2010.

terrifying moments also in california when a stage comes crashing down during a high school performance. look at this. the students jumping down and up and down on stage and some of them as a result of this have been hospitalized. witnesses describe the chaos in the moments after that stage collapsed. >> the girls dropped, all the ones in the front, they dropped about ten feet into the pit. it was already at the end of the show. they were getting ready to judge the contestants and everything just came to a screeching halt. >> maybe no surprise here, there were nearly 250 girls on stage when the supports gave way. investigators say they're now looking into the weight limit and if warning signs were ignored. it was just like 2012 inside jacksonville international airport. mitt romney and paul ryan running into each other at the airport over the weekend with

new job numbers out for the month of february. let's take a look. the unemployment rate up a notch, 6.7. 175,000 jobs added. but our next guest says that is not the worst news. so why is no one talking about the bigger economic problems and hurdles? scott rasmussen is the president of rasmussen media group, joins us now. scott, some were happy about those numbers. upon further review, there is a lot to be concerned about. >> sure. the numbers right now are in a place where anybody can read into them what they want to. if you think the economy is getting better, you say, they're better than they were before. but it's just one number in a trend. not really strong. the workweek is going down. >> what do you mean by that? >> the average amount of hours that somebody is working went down with this report. there is also a labor force participation rate that is lower. again, this is one number.

it doesn't tell us a whole lot. >> what does weather say? a lot of people say the weather was so bad. >> it makes these numbers more meaningless. we don't have a clue whether the economy is getting stronger or weaker 'til two or three months. >> you're concerned about maybe perhaps what the president is turning out in terms of his budget projection. he's talking about more spending. >> that's right. his budget says deficit reduction, he's going to do more spending. the reality is, government spending is going up every single year whether we want it to or not. this year we're going to spend $250 billion more than last year. within five years, annual spending will be a trillion dollars higher. by the way, it's not even president obama's fault. this was baked into the cake by programs passed in the '60s and '70s. >> which is why we should have done entitlement reform and looked into some of the nondiscretionary spending. i want you to look at what the american people are saying. in terms of the economy, they asked how is the president doing?

mostly said mostly succeeding. 56% say no, he's failing. >> look, that's again, a case of blaming the coach. people aren't sitting down and evaluating his policies. they're saying the economy doesn't feel like it's doing very well. the guy in charge gets the credit when things go well and the blame when they don't. >> one of the worst things you can do is tell everybody it's better when it doesn't feel better. you have to worry about your credibility. that's some of the poll numbers in terms of the spending. by 2020, 4.9 trillion. that's a lot. >> that's a lot of money. it's going up. it's baked into the system. it's been going up every single year since 1954. and until we address that problem, all the rest of the budget discussions are nothing -- >> the president says the age of austerity is overment does that concern you? >> there was never an age of austerity. there has been austerity for the general public as we try to pay the bills for this, but there has never been a government era of austerity. >> one of the reasons why defense spending is shrinking so

much is the discretionary pie is shrinking because it's automatic debits out of our account. >> by the way, the biggest reason the defense budget is going down is because we're winding down some wars. even in that, there is not a lot of spending cuts in terms of ongoing operation. >> it's true, but even people like secretary gates says this has gone way too deep. great to see you. >> 19 minutes after the hour. coming up, this 7-year-old has been fighting for his life since the day he was born. now the drug that can save his life is being denied. his mom here next. and how does this luxury spa look for a vacation destination? great, if you can afford it. why did a cash strapped school district send teachers there on the taxpayers' dime? ♪ ♪ co: i've always found you don't know you need a hotel room

survive? >> they've definitely given excuses, but nothing is acceptable to us. this is our child's life. we feel compelled to just keep asking for it and begging for it because he needs it. he absolutely needs it. if he does not get it, he is going to die. i just feel that where there is a will, there is a way. our will is very strong. we're going to keep on asking and asking and asking until they hear us. i know they hear us. but until they release it for us. >> you've asked the people of the company to give what's called compassionate use. even though it hasn't been approved by the f.d.a., they've given compassionate use hundreds of other times in other cases. but they won't give it to your son. hear what kenneth moth said. he said, as a small company with limited resources, we made the difficult decision two years ago

to end our compassionate use program and focus all of our efforts on earning f.d.a. approval. this is the only path to making that drug widely available to those who need it in the fastest manner allowed. so the question for you, amy, is when a company like this gets $72 million in federal funding, do you think they have a moral obligation as a good corporate citizen to help your son stay alive? >> absolutely. i mean, again, i feel that it's just an excuse and we need them to totally change their stance not only for us, but for hundreds or even thousands of people that need it. there's got to be some other way that we can -- they can make this available to everyone because from the studies indicates it's very successful.

one of the only products on the market that can treat a virus and it's almost -- to me, it's almost a crime not to make it available to everyone who needs it and am definitely going to keep fighting for my son until they give it. >> i asked the president of the company, mr. mock, over the weekend whether if, in fact, a visit to visit your boy, josh, at his bedside in saint jude's hospital in memphis would change his mind. he said it would not change his mind. how would a visit change his mind? what would mr. manager och see today if he went to see your little boy, josh? >> he would see a frail little boy who has a very weak voice and has a hard time staying awake because he's in so much pain and to combat the pain, he has to be on a lot of pain medication. so he's drowsy.

it's horrible for us as parents to see because he is a strong little boy and even though he is frail, he has a very strong will about him. but things just keep stacking against him and we just want to do everything we can to give him the opportunity to make a full recovery so that he can play baseball, he can play basketball. we have as a family, the six of us can be in the same household again. this is an extraordinarily hard process for us and i just -- i'm grateful for you to have us here, but i want to be by his bedside holding his hand and telling him it's going to be okay. but because of their unwillingness to give this drug, i have to leave him and come talk to him. it infuriates me. >> thank you for coming to see us. we wish your son all the wellness and as part of that process, you've asked us to show the information that you think can help. you can call the company at -- and e-mail them at

custody. i know anna doesn't behave like that at the gym. taxpayers outraged after learning that a cash-strapped california school district spent more than $38,000 to send its administrators to a luxury spa. they went to the spa to talk about implementing common core curriculum. the inglewood district was taken over, by the way, by the state in 2012 and was bailed out to the tune of $55 million. they found the money to spend at the spa. okay. 150 undocumented immigrants will try to cross back into america later today. the border crossing effort is a part of a pro-immigration project that wants to reunite families separated by deportation. the undocumented immigrants will try to cross the border at the california-mexico border. back in september, 30 up grants tried to cross the border and most have been allowed to stay here in the united states. those are your headlines.

all the fun there. all right. fox news alert, moments ago, a press conference on the missing malaysian airlines plane wrapping up. officials saying it is still a search and rescue operation and we're learning more about those two people on board with stolen passports. >> doug luzader joins us with more on that press conference. what can you tell us? good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a number of critical questions remain unanswered. first of all, how is it that this aircraft simply disappeared from radar without any contact? there are also questions about the passenger manifest. we're going to start talking about the flight path itself because we know the last point of contact was pretty close to the point of departure here. there are signs the aircraft may have turned around at the last minute, which widens out the search area substantially in this area between the gulf of thailand and the south china sea. malaysian official just indicated that two oil slicks that were found in this area that would have been consistent with the crash of an airliner, those, he says, have been ruled

out. >> they have confirmed that the oil are not from -- the oil analysis of the sample taken by the maritime agency are not from an aircraft. >> reporter: another possible sign of the aircraft would appear to be a door floating in the ocean, has also been ruled out. meantime, investigators have turned their attention to the passenger manifest, which includes two individuals that appeared to have been traveling with stolen european passports. is that evidence of terrorism? those familiar with intelligence matters caution against making any kind of conclusions here. >> unfortunately, it's not common, but it is not unheard of either that stolen passports can be repurposed and used mainly for the quality of the passports themselves.

>> reporter: a number of u.s. agencies are involved in this continuing investigation. the ntsb, faa. that malaysian official also went on to say that they have reviewed videotape from inside the airport and they think all security protocols were followed. peter, anna and brian, back to you guys. >> wow. thanks so much. meanwhile, coming up. >> next, does this sound similar? >> to offer every new yorker a fair shot. we're fighting to give everyone a fair shot. >> we will also offer new yorkers a fair shot. >> proof of obama's fair share message is spreading and why it is bad news for you. >> first, let's check in with bill hemmer which is always good news for us. >> that means you have 11 minutes remaining. listening to that report out of washington, guy, how does an airplane disappear 35,000 feet? the very latest out of malaysia throughout the day here. cpac is over. what have relearned about where

>> it's a phrase we hear from the president often. >> so it's time for congress to stand up for the middle class and make our tax system fairer and risk takers being rewarded. but i also believe that everybody should have a fair shot. and everybody should do their fair share. >> right. and now new york city's new mayor, bill de blasio, seems to be singing the same tune. >> to offer every new yorker a fair shot. we're fighting to give everyone

a fair shot. we will also offer new yorkers a fair shot. >> our next guest says they are not only alike in their words, but also in their lack of action. here to explain, columnist michael goodwin. you see the similarities. we talked about this before. this time it's really stark. >> i think there are a lot of similarities that go back to the early lives. both of them were born into socialist families. they're red diaper babies. their idea for society is all about overhauling it, transforming it, changing it dramatically, fair shot, these ideas that society is unfair and we have to demolish institutions and rebuild them. so we see it with president obama, of course, most famously with obamacare, which for many people ruined their health care coverage, ruined their insurance policies. and we see with mayor de blasio here in new york, most pointedly on charter schools, which are educating successfully some of

the poorest, black and latino children. the children he says he wants to help, but the schools don't fit into his ideology. >> he's stopping them from opening up in harlem! >> that's right. but they are outscoring even some of the great suburban schools and yet, he wants to destroy them because they don't fit into his ideology. that ideology is obama and de blasio with this transformative agenda that has nothing to do with the reality of people's lives. >> that's going to be -- you should coin that phrase 'cause that will be his biggest three pete. the idea of hiring him might have been good at 57%. the idea once you have him is a little bit lower. right now his disapproval is at 39%. as you see it, a democratic governor taking him on for uniform pre-k says you don't needs to raise taxes for that and you better not shut charter schools. they're work. what does that tell you? >> to me, cuomo, an old-fashioned democrat, he believes in things that work. not just the ideology that you

approach everything with and wipe it away because you don't like it. cuomo is much more of a centrist. he's clearly a liberal, but fundamentally about the power of government, he wants to keep taxes lower. that sort of thing. that's a big fight right now in the democratic party. we read all the time about a civil war among republicans. in fact, the democrats are having their own fight over some of these very important issues. >> and a lesson to be learned, when como took on de blasio on this, he got the huge crowd and had the emotional rally. de blasio sat there virtually alone in the gym. unfortunately, we're out of time. but thanks so much. we'll talk to you more about this on radio. >> thanks. read his column on foxnews.com. more "fox & friends" in just a moment [ male announcer ] this is the age of knowing what you're made of.
