was guaranteed. others completely fell. that take as lot of work. that is a several-day project right there. that went down pretty well. bill: would do that thing in a heart beat. good fun. see you tomorrow, everybody. martha:, bye, everybody. see you later. jenna: we start off with a fox news alert in the search for a missing commercial jet. the oil slicks do not appear to be from the missing malaysia airlines plane. there was something in the water but turn out not to be case. it was something else. the plane disappeared after taking off from kuala lumpur with 12 crewmembers andhundred passengers on board. they're looking possibility that the plain disintegrated in midair. we'll have more in a live report moments from now. meantime breaking news on today's top stories and brand new headlines you see here first. jon: graphic new testimony in

the oscar pistorius murder trial. why the judge ordered the cameras turned off. and caught on video. a suspect suddenly turns violent, assaulting an officer while being booked on murder charges. a world war ii veteran known to millions as wild bill guarnier has died. the look back at a true american hero portrayed in the hbo miniseries, band the brothers. it is all happening now. jenna: first a new survey revealing gains for obamacare as both parties prepare to test out the midterm strategy in florida. hope you're off to a great monday so far. hope you got the clocks right. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm still not over that. you will talk about that later. jenna: health implications we all can speak to. jon: felt like a short weekend to me. i'm jon scott. the rate of insured americans dropped last month put iting on

track to the lowest level before president obama took office in 2008. the timing lines up with the passage of the affordable care act but controversy over obamacare sure to be a big issue in the upcoming midterms starting with a special congressional election tomorrow in florida. joining us to talk about all this, karl rove, former white house senior advisor to president george w. bush. with us joe trippi, former howard dean campaign manager. both are fox news contributors. jo, i will start with you. why is this david jolly, alex sink election tomorrow in congressional seat in florida, why is it such a big deal? >> as you pointed out, jon, this is both parties trying out their messageing and their technology and everything else. throwing everything but the kitchen sink trying to win a special election and you know, if alex sink wins, democrats will be claiming that republican attacks on obamacare are going,

are not going to be that much of an eexpect. we've seen that already in virginia where governor terry mcaulifee ran on obamacare, supporting it, won election there. so they want to pile on and add another victory. the same would be opposite. if david jolly wins, republicans will be saying that their strategy works and they have got this covered and they will have a great 2010. or 2014 excuse me. what -- jon: i call it 2013 earlier in the hour in our preshow tease. so i'm right there with you. it was a short weekend. go ahead, joe. >> the one thing i would caution, both parties will claim the victory means something for the elections in november. the fact is in 2010, democrats won three of the four special elections and then went and lost the house a few months later in november. so i wouldn't, i would caution about reading too much into the wind but it is both parties trying out their messaging and

trying different tactics, getting out the vote. jon: karl rove, nobody crunches numbers better. how do you see this one shaping up? very tight last i read? >> yeah. it is a district that barack obama won in 20 self and 2008, even though it has been represented for almost 40 some odd years by cw bill young a long-time republican. i think though has the important point in joe's conversation was the democrats in 2010 won three out of the four special elections leading into the 2010 election. alex sink, the democrat has gone out of her way to say in essence i'm not for the obamacare law that got passed. she has a non-incumbent has a chance to do that the problem for all these incumbents particularly in the senate, they can't run from their votes and can't run fro statements they made since the passage of the obamacare law that put themselves on the bad side of this issue. all of these democratic incumbent senators are on

camera, having said if you like your plan you can keep it, if you like your doctor you can keep him, premiums will go down all these promise that is turned out to the be false. incumbent democrats can not run pro as easily as miss sink who was not in congress when this came up for a vote. jon: joe, one of the things that does seem to be going well for obamacare there is a slightly higher number of insured americans now. it went down about 1.% in terms of numbers of americans insured. is that enough to sort of turn the tide in favor of this thing? >> no. i mean it's a, it is a positive in a sea of what has been normally, essentially bad news but it is getting better and i think is one of the goals, again i think alex sink has been saying we need to fix this thing, not repeal it. i think most democrats, those who voted for it will be saying that throughout the year. there is obvious problems with it, need to be fixed.

the goal of insuring uninsured is moving in the right direction. any positive will help in november. remember, look, there's a reason, david jolly may lose this election. it is one of the problems that republicans have had in the past. they don't, they fail to at times to nominate best candidate. i'm not sure david jolly was kind of candidate that republicans want to carry. i think he will lose this but i don't think it will be because of obamacare. i think it which be mostly because of other issues that are going on in that race. jon: karl rove, democrats mommed a candidate named barack obama and he is not very popular right now. >> very unpopular. in fact his popularity in gallup as week was 42%. nationwide which would tend to indicate the in the seven battleground democratic senate seats up this year, three of whom are open, four incumbents running for re-election, these are states that mitt romney carried the president's job approval in all those states is

likely below 40%. let me go back to the number you said is good news for the democrats. granted, three million additional people is what is suggested added, 1.2% more people have health insurance. let's step back to look at numbers. administration is saying through the 1st of february, 4 million people have been signed up through the federal exchanges. 6.3 million people through january 1 have been added to medicaid as a result they say of obamacare. and previously, as of last year, the beginning of last year, 3 million people between the age of 25 and 26 were allowed to be kept on their parents insurance policy that is an in addition, that means 13.3 million people, the administration is claiming have been added to the roles as a result of the affordable care act. and yet we've only got a net of three million. that suggests as many as 10 million people have lost their existing coverage. this is why the energy is on the side of the people who oppose obamacare because many of those 10 million people are finding

their premiums are higher, much higher and their deductibles are much higher. if you look at any survey the intensity is on side of people who oppose obamacare. most of the time those who strongly oppose obamacare outnumber those who strongly favor by two, 2 1/2, some instances three to one. likely to be even worse in the red states where the democrats have seven seats to affect. likely to be bad for democrats still in purple states like colorado, virginia, michigan, minnesota, oregon and new hampshire where credible republican candidates have emerged or could emerge for democratic incumbents for the senate this is bad issue for the democrats. that is not much good news for them. jon: we'll see what the people of florida's congressional district 13 say tomorrow. karl rove, joe trippi. thank you both. >> good to be with you. jenna: another fox news alert. investigators widening their search for a missing passenger jet that mysteriously vanished in the waters off southeast asia. malaysia airlines flight 370

left kuala lumpur for beijing on friday afternoon on our time with 239 passengers on board but went completely off the radar shortly after takeoff. david piper live from bangkok with the latest. david? >> reporter: jenna, it has been nearly three days since that malaysia airlines jet went missing. as you said no trace of it. they are now extending the search to try to find the plane. hopes were raised earlier when the vietnamese military said its air cruisers spotted a rectangular shape in the water near its coast. perhaps a plane door or life raft. when the ships retrieved the object today, investigators said it wasn't from the aircraft. it had been found in the same area that oil slicks were cited on saturday. a sample of the oil was taken for laboratory analysis but it proved to not be jet fuel. malaysian officials say radar signals show the plane might have tried it turn back to malaysia for some reason before

it vanished. the crew didn't notify ground control. international search is now looking in a wider area for the plane because of this, including the western seaboard of malaysia and beyond towards sumatra. this is the opposite side of the country where the plane was last thought to be. the malaysian airlines boeing triple 7 went missing saturday morning local time on a flight from malaysian capital call la lump pure to beijing. they are focusing on two passengers before traveling on italian and australian passports. the two men were holding passports that were lost or stolen couple years before here in thailand. their tickets were bought together and had onward trips from beijing to europe. a news conference short while ago the malaysian authorities said from studying the cctv video they are not of asian in appearance. and we should be very cautious. perhaps to think what has been because of these two men

boarding with these stolen passports because security experts say millions upon millions people are doing it every year. we really can't really jump to conclusions yet, jenna. jenna: good point to make. david, thank you very much. the u.s. navy in the meantime announcing it is sending a second destroyer to help search for the missing plane. commander william marks joins us live on the phone from the south china sea on the newbie uss blue ridge supporting the operation. commander marks, many of us can not appreciate how challenging the search this really is. can you tell us a little bit what you're up against? >> hi, jenna, thanks for having me. yes we have sent a second destroyer to the gulf of thailand. most importantly to bring another two search-and-rescue helicopters. those are two mh-60 helicopters which adds to another p-3 orion

fixed-wing search aircraft in the area right now. jenna: what are they in the process of doing? >> right now the country of malaysia essentially takes the gulf of thailand and dividing into sectors. we have helicopter searches and our fixed-wing p-3 searches. little copters can could go up 3 1/2 hours at a time. come back, land and fuel and go back up and swap out pilots. the p-3, that is up for about nine hours continuously and both of those are doing aerial searches of the water below. jenna: how difficult is it to spot debris in an open space like the one that you're searching? >> well, luckily for the u.s. navy assets we have some very advanced radars. so for example, the p-3, this is what it does. it searches. so, an altitude of say five or 10,000 feet, the radar can see

something small as say a basketball in the water. jenna: you're. >> we're very good finding things like this. that is what we do. i should point out it's a huge area and, as time goes by it actually expands because of the wind and currents and so now we're up to hundreds of miles. so and time is not on our side. as time goes by it gets bigger and bigger. jenna: any news, commander marks? we heard now we know of false reports of debris being found. is there any sign today of any location where this plane may have gone down? >> unfortunately there has been no sign. as i mentioned our radars can pick up just about anything on the water. we see things like old wooden crates or things like that but nothing at all associated with an airliner. jenna: you really give us some really valuable perspective

about just what this search entails. commander marks, thanks for joining us. we appreciate you joining us. later in the program we'll speak with a former ntsb officer to what investigators may do to locate the plane. remarkable, they can find a basketball on radar in open water but can't find a piece of this plane. jon: they don't have a clear fix where it was when it disappeared. it's a bush ocean out there. jenna: what a mystery? jon: here is a question, could your baby save your life? brand new study shows how having children reduces risk of cancer but as with everything there is a catch. also a high school show comes to dramatic end when the stage comes crashing down. dozens of students hurt. what sparked this collapse? we're live with the story. >> all the things that were there, like fell on top of them. everyone was crying. we were all like freaking out because we didn't know like if

someone was seriously hurt or what was happening. co: i've always found you don't know you need a hotel room

until you're sure you do. bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is what makes using the hotels.com mobile app so useful. i can book a nearby hotel room from wherever i am. or, i could not book a hotel room and put my cellphone back into my pocket as if nothing happened.

jon: right now a look at some stories we're watching across the nation and around the world. sbarro is filing for bankruptcy for the second time in less than three years of the pizza chain announced it would close 155 restaurants last month. developments in the so-called loud music case in florida. attorneys for michael dunne now set to ask a judge to delay sentencing. dunne as you know was convicted last month of attempted murder for shooting at three teens after an argument over loud music. another teen died in the incident but the jury was unable to decide on that murder charge. new study finds woman women who gave birth to two or more babies cut risk of cancer by 24%. researchers in finland looked at date for 5,000 women. jenna: 10 is the magic number,

you may try it be my guest. jenna: terrifying incident caught on tape in anaheim, california. investigators are trying to figure out what caused this wooden platform to give way during a show injuring dozens and dozens of students. will carr live in los angeles. what happened here? >> this all happened saturday night. there were 200, 250 girls on stage. they were dancing, they were jumping around and that's when the stage collapsed. the collapse sent dozens to the hospital. most had minor injuries. the students go to rosary high school. it is an all-girls catholic school. they were are performing in an annual event called the red and gold rally at an all-boys catholic school. they were jumping on stage having a great time and that's when everybody went wrong. >> they were in the stage, the stage platform came down. it folded right in the middle of

it. and the girls dropped, all of the ones in the front they drop 10 feet into the pit. >> reporter: jenna, if there is any good news, anybody that went to the hospital has since been released. >> that is good news. what is the latest in the investigation? >> reporter: well the anaheim fire department has launched the official investigation. they say that looking into the permitting process. the permits for the stage. they will look at weight limits. keep in mind that you had 200 to 250 girls all at one time on this stage. there is also, the official investigation should take about two weeks. at the same time, the school has said they launched an internal investigation, jenna, while they try to figure out exactly how all this happened on saturday night. jenna: will carr live in los angeles. will, thank you. jon: you bet. jon: a 6.9-magnitude earthquake striking just off the coast of northern california. aftershocks still being felt hundreds of miles away. new reports of shots fired in

ukraine as russian forces tighten their grip on crimea. the latest on the ukraine crisis just ahead. there's a new form of innovation taking shape.

that president putin introduced the russian troops into crimea supposedly, jon, to protect against the sort of fascist invasion as he called it from kiev but it is these troops who are threatening the peace in crimea. we're hearing about them threaten ukrainian military personnel. taking over their bases. they have been threatening members of the crimea's government who are not pro-russian. they have been threatening journalists. they have been beating them and taking their equipment away. journalists have been beaten trying to cover the news in crimea. all but one independent station there has been forcibly shut down. these people are standing outside the last pro-ukraine station left running, supporters trying to protect it. ukrainian troops finally making a public display of readiness and might. these are just exercises. ukraine announced it won't be sending troops to crimea. the u.s. made it clear the only option viable way forward for resolving the standoff is

diplomatic. the u.s. ambassador to ukraine spoke today. >> the united states is not prepared to recognize any result of the so-called referendum that is going to be happening six days from today. we are committed to crimea's status as a part of ukraine. >> reporter: russian oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky, the man who became russian president's vladmir putin nemesis and spent 10 years in prison for that. he has been in kiev last few days. he spoke to overflow crowd at their polly tick nick university and speaking out at the government in moscow and previous one in kiev as corrupt and dismissive of the rule of law. he said kiev's democratic revolution and move toward europe can benefit russia post-soviet evolution. professor -- president vladmir putin is still pressing on his foreign minister sergey lavrov to continue talks with secretary

of state john kerry. there are report that is kerry was invited to moscow right now basically to talk with sergey love love and wanted to put it off. -- lavrov. it is not clear where all that stands. there could be a bright spot of hope in this called the contact group concept. sergey lavrov, the russian foreign minister refused to sit down with his ukrainian counterpart. the groups around them are trying to facilitate that ultimately happening a that is what needs to happen. russia and ukraine need to sort something out here, preferably he have about the referendum in crimea which is on sunday. jon. jon: well the crisis continues. amy kellogg in kiev. thank you, amy. jenna: back here at home, people in northern california getting quite a jolt overnight. a 6.9-magnitude earthquake centered offshore in the pacific ocean. patti ann browne is in the newsroom with more on this. >> jenna the quake hit at 10:18 p.m. spa civic time t was

centered in eureka in northern california and it was strong. magnitude 6.9. luckily no reports of injuries or serious damage and power remained on but the quake was felt widely across the region. more than 3,000 people reported on the u.s. geological survey website that they felt the earthquake. equity are common in eureka. it is 270 miles northwest of san francisco. some people in san francisco felt it. it is 100 miles south of the oregon state line. some of those who reported feeling the tremor lived in oregon. many describe ad very long, rolling shake that knocked items off of shelves or woke children. in fact the u.s. geological survey confirms it built slowly four miles beneath the pacific seabed. the national tsunami warning center says there is no tsunami danger. they said damage an casualties are not likely.

jenna? jenna: patti ann, thank you. jon: the whereabouts of that passenger jet lost in asia still very much a mystery. the search is expanding today. we'll speak with a former national transportation safety board official about how this could have happened and where investigators go from here. also a harrowing moment when a skydiver and and airplane collide in the sky. we'll tell you how it ended.

jon: right now a quick look what's to come in this hour. a sky diver and a plane collide in midary. both the sky diver and the pilot live to tell about it. they'll share their horrifying experience with us in a few moments. murder suspect gets out of control. what happened right before he punched a corrections officer. and his european battles were dramatized in "band of brothers." a look back at the life and legacy of the world war ii vet known as wild bill. jenna: right now graphic new testimony in the oscar pistorius murder trial. the judge ordered the cameras in the courtroom turned off when the medical examiner began talking about the autopsy of his girlfriend. pistorius reportedly began to vomit. box news reporter joins us with more. paul? >> the scene in court was hard to take in. on the right-hand side in the witness box, pathologist

professor described in almo almostmonotone fashion what he had found. to the left-hand side and right in front of me as the testimony became graphic, the blade runner audibly gagged and vomited. his whole body bunched forward. sometimes either moaning or sobbing. twice the judge called a halt to the proceedings. journalists sat stunned as the pathologist comments were drowned out his pistorius loud gagging. somehow it was made even more chilling because those of us in the court were the only ones to witness it. earlier the judge ruled that the description of the autopsy results should not be broadcast. for the first time ever in south africa, live tweets and blog reports were specifically banned during this testimony, too. and out of the autopsy results came a possible problem for the defense. the pathologist said that she

had food in her stomach consumed at about 1:00 a.m., two hours, approximately, before the fatal shooting. pit approximatity defense team has always insisted that the couple were asleep by that time. the professor also said pistorius used a particular type of ammunition in his gun which expands like a mushroom or a flower when hitting human tissue and designed to cause significant injury. she was hit three times in the bullets. when the testimony was brought to a close, pistorius' family rushed to his side and it took some considerable time for him to compose himself sufficiently so he could leave the court. this was day six and by far, the most harrowing of the entire trial so far. jenna: we're going to be taking it up with the legal panel next hour. thank you. jon: a search for answers now in the case of a missing passenger jet that mysteriously vanished on friday.

investigators have been scouring the waters in search for the malaysia airline flight. crews have yet to come across any sign of the plane. making things much more difficult is the fact that the pilots never made a distress call. the chairman for omega systems group, a former national transportation safety board investigator under the reagan administration, doctor, it's so god to have you here along with your expertise. they have no idea where this plane went down or what caused it to fall out of the sky apparently. what is step one from your point of view? >> i think step one has to be the location of the aircraft. i know that there's so much speculation about why but why comes from knowing what and what really happens is in those recorders that are on the aircraft and what is really

puzzling to me after 30 years of investigations, i've never seen a case where we didn't know where the aircraft was and so it's either over water or either land and we've got two bodies of water that we're looking at as well as the terrain of vietnam as far as i know. jon: a lot of people just assume an airliner flying over the ocean is in constant touch with, you know, satellites or people back on land or whatever. that's not necessarily the case, is it? >> it isn't necessarily the case and it wasn't here, i think, but there was a trans ponder on the aircraft that was evidently there but suddenly did not transmit. jon: the transponder, if it's underwater, though, it would have limited range. they need specialized underwater microphones to pick it up, correct? >> well, the thing is, what's needed is to find the recorders themselves. the transponder wouldn't survive going into the water. but if they got the two

recorders and they're painted international orange so they're not black boxes, they're really orange but if those went down on land, they might be able to be seen except that the foliage in vietnam is very thick. that might preclude that. if it went down in water, you've got to have the special receivers that they had with air france 447 which incidentally, those two recorders survived two years before they found them in that particular crash. jon: right. and that air france 447 crash five years ago, almost five years ago now, those recorders, and we're looking at some of the -- i don't want to confuse people because this is from air france 447, those recorders spent a couple of years, 10,000 feet down under the atlantic where the pressures are absolutely crushing and they were still, once they located them, they were able to bring them up, get the information and figure out what caused the plane

to go down. >> they were pinging and they'll last up to six years so that's remarkable. here is another thing to think about and that is, ee gipt air 990 was a suicide and this could have had another option for this aircraft to suddenly disappear. jon: that. the egypt aircraft, the pilot just wanted to take himself out and took a whole bunch of people with him and pushed his plane, nosed off in the atlantic. any number of things could happen but why is it that we don't have a better fix on where it happened? >> that is really what's puzzling to me. the aircraft apparently got to 35,000, 37,000 feet altitude and its cruise control so it was doing very well and the aircraft is a very remarkably good

airplane. so it's really puzzling how suddenly the transponder would no longer respond and some have suggested maybe the aircraft turned but turning wouldn't really remove its response to interrogation. jon: all right. so something caused this thing to disappear out of the sky at 35,000 feet. a very reliable, robust aircraft. is it -- well, are you speculating as to the cause at this point or does your years of training on the ntsb not allow to you do that? >> well, i don't favor speculation but i do think that if they got the c.v.r., if someone came in the cockpit and took over, that would be on the c.v.r. >> the cockpit voice recorder. >> yes. but if it was a bomb aboard the aircraft, it could have been put on by the ground crew, you know, not necessarily somebody on the aircraft themselves. so we don't -- we just do not know until we get the recorders.

i favor looking for the location of those recorders as primary. jon: and as jenna spoke with a navy captain who is part of the hunt, the u.s. navy and other agencies are rushing in there trying to get that done. dr. vernon gross, good to have you on. thank you. jenna: still such a mystery. right now not a whole lot coming in as the search continues. jon: it's a strange bun but there are a lot of indications. jenna: a bizarre scene caught on tape as a naked murder suspect goes after corrections officers. more of the surveillance tape on the way for that. a collision between a sky diver and a plane and everyone survived. they share their incredible story with fox news next. the day we rescued riley,

was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of the things that matter most. join today at angieslist.com why are house repu"retreating," ng," and privately saying they'd rather do "nothing" on immigration reform this year? doing nothing puts jobs on ice... forces us to lose out on revenue for roads and schools. and sends a message to millions of dreamers, who study hard and want to serve our country, they might as well dream on. no, nothing won't do. call house republicans today. tell them we've waited long enough: pass immigration reform.

jenna: hints from hillary clinton about what we're

learning about her plans for 2016 and the trial for osama bin laden's son-in-law in new york. the lawyers for both sides are in london today. what they're doing overseas and we sprang forward over the weekend. some of you may not have adjusted yet. i know i certainly have. how about you? it's a rough day. what you can do about this. we have our health segment coming up. maybe our director is as well. jon: we'll look forward to that information. murder suspect goes out of control just as the corrections officer admitted him to an ohio jail with surveillance tape capturing it all. suspect looked to be calm as he was first being booked but once officers removed his clothing, he punched one of them. the cops quickly restrained the suspect who now faces the additional charge of assaulting an officer because of the incident. jenna: not a good decision. a near collision between a sky

diver and a small plane in florida. everyone involved survived and now they're sharing the details about what is a terrifying or deal. phil keating has more on this. >> much like today, it was a picture perfect florida day for sky diving when all of a sudden, here comes a plane with a spinning propellar straight at you. all of it captured on film. the pilot of the small plane, a world war ii veteran, 87-year-old sharon tremble was also enjoying the perfect day, practicing his touch and go landings. right above the runway approach was sky diver steve frost with his parachute fully deployed. the pilot pulled back on the stick avoiding a collision but clipped his parachute. >> i saved his life. sure, i'm thankful to be here and how i wound up, i really

don't know how i did get here after what happened. >> tremble suffered a bunch of cuts and bruises after his plane slammed nose first in the ground and the 87-year-old pilot's wife was also there watching in horror from the ground. the sky diver had just jumped minutes before with eight other sky divers and was just feet off the ground and presumed soft landing when suddenly that turned to near death. >> as he flew straight towards me, toyed make some quick decisions and try to make myself small by balling up. i tried to speed up my flight of my parachute to get out of the way. but unfortunately, my parachute got caught on the wing. now i realize i'm going to hit the ground very hard. i was extremely lucky. >> very lucky y indeed. he's gone sky diving probably a hundred times.

ntsb and faa are investigating. jenna: what a story. thank you. jon: america loses one of the heros. his brave we helped inspire the hbo mini series "band of brothers". next we remember the world war ii veteran known as wild bill. and wall street's bull market hits five years so is it time to sell? fox business network mcdowell live with her take coming up. nn] evenore impressive than the research this man has at his disposal is how he puts it to work for his clients. morning. morning. thanks for meeting so early. co on in.

jon: right now a world war ii veteran whose actions during the war were portrayed in the hbo mini series "band of brothers" has passed away. wild bill was 90 years old. here's who are more on this

soldier. >> popularly known as wild bill lost his leg trying to help a wounded soldier during world war ii's battle of the bulge. he was portrayed by actor john hughes in the mini series "band of brothers." he passed away in a philadelphia hospital after an aneurysm saturday night. he was 90. for his service, he earned the silver star, two bronze stars and two purple hearts. but his son says his hero dad never let his fame go to his head. he lived for 60 years in a row house in south philadelphia working in construction but limited by his injury. he also helped organize easy company reunions. the mini series was based on a book that followed members of the easy company airborne division. that group trained in georgia and then fought in some of the most fiercest battles through the war's end in 1945.

in 1947 he co-wrote "brothers in battle, best of friends." they met during the war and remained friends until heffren died in december. now, his son says, they're together again. jon: what a story. what a life. thank you. jenna: wall street's bull market is officially five years old. the markets have rebounded to record high territory but with the economy still struggling, could the rally's days be numbered on this stock market? dayigen mcdowell is here. >> the longer the bull market goes on, certainly the choppier it's going to be, the more volatile it's going to be and you're already seeing that this year. the dow, for instance, is down today, at least through friday's

close and certainly factoring in today's losses. there are a few things that we ought to consider. the dow is up about 150% in this five-year bull market run but if you look back to the previous bull market high in october of 2007, the dow is only 16% higher. it doesn't sound so heady if you look at it in those terms. you also have to think about, well, once stocks aren't wildly overpriced and also, where are you going to put your money if you don't have it in the stock market? you're going to pay it to uncle sam and get paid virtually nothing to the federal government for 10 years. owning shares in a business sounds better than that. jenna: when you see the stock market go up, you don't make the connection that that means the stock prices have gone up which means they could be more expensive. is the feeling that stocks are overpriced or are they good buys? >> if you look at a broad measure how stocks are measured,

you look how they're priced versus their earnings. they're reasonably priced, fairly priced but broadly speaking, not overpriced. some individual technology companies are like out of this world in terms of how much you're paying for them right now but if you buy a big basket of u.s. companies, then you're off setting cheaper stocks with more expensive ones. jenna: i'm always looking for a bargain. i'm preparing for the het segment next hour and i'm reading that health article, says this. daylight savings time has been blamed for an increase in heart attack and dips in the stock market and today the dow is down. is that because of daylight savings? is everyone too tired today? >> i think that anybody would look for any reason why stocks are down. i was up here just trying not to yawn because my 2:30 a.m. wakeup turned into a 1:30 a.m. wakeup this morning. jenna: you look fresh as a

daisy. >> no, i do not. thank you, though. jenna: we're all feeling sluggish today. perfectly delivered. you would never know. >> you perked me up. jenna: thank you. >> do you know what? stocks for the long haul, it's never all or nothing. if you want to pull back a little bit, so be it but again, loaning money to uncle sam, that's your alternative. jenna: you can make the choice that way and it becomes more clear. thank you. jon: and i thought you did your investing in shoes. jenna: there are shoe companies that are publicly traded so you could also do that. people say you should buy what you know. and so, you know, i'm just putting that out there as advice. jon: a jetliner vanishes into thin air but is the disappearance of the malaysian airline flight just a tragic accident or something more sin ter? we'll look at the growing questions surrounding this investigation plus, an emotional day in court in the oscar pistorius murder trial. how the olympic athlete reacted

jon: some big developments in top stories and breaking news this hour. jenna: osama bin laden's son-in-law on trial in new york city accused of plotting the 9/11 attack. we're live at the courthouse. a wrenching day of testimony in the case of oscar pistorius. we'll explain and a plane with 239 people on board vanished. new information on the massive search for the malaysia air flight as outraged family and friends search for answers. it's all "happening now." will she or won't she run? it's the big question looming over hillary clinton in the 2016 presidential race. welcome to this hour of "happening now." jon: the race is still two years away but speculation over mrs. clinton's possible

involvement seems to be hitting a fever pitch. "new york times" reporting today about the parlor game of trying to get clinton to reveal her intentions, particularly with polls showing her leading among democratic voters. at a recent event monitored by former hss secretary, hillary said this. >> can you give us some insight intu how the bio will play out? >> well, i would really like to. but i have no characters left. jon: audio was a little hard to hear there. tbv is part of her official biography. they were asking about how that to be determined winds up. joining us is bret baier, anchor of "special report." this is familiar territory for hillary clinton. she's frontrunner on the democratic side but she was frontrunner in 2008 and we all know how that turned out. what kind of a timetable does

she have if she is going to announce for president? >> i think we could be hearing these rhetorical gymnastics for quite some time, probably late this year, early 2015 before hillary clinton would really have to declare or decide that she was in the race. some people say it could be even longer than that. but all indications are behind-the-scenes that the machine, at least, is starting to churn and that some fundraisers have already gotten the wipg and the nod to start the process. that's not to say 100% she's in. you know, there are whispers out there that health could be a concern and she's not 100% in but you listen to all of these different events and she goes around the country speaking to

these -- and does speeches for money and they ask her, again and again and again, are you going to run? they phrase it different ways. you know, to try to get a different kind of answer. and the non answer is what comes back. i think that it will come back for months to come. jon: she also has a first class adviser in her husband. bill clinton is one of the most c canny politicians out there and he's a guy that can provide her a lot of support and a lot of good advice. >> sure and he's probably one of the best politicians that most people here in washington can remember and he still has game when it comes to working people around the country. he has been out campaigning in recent months and years for some races that people were scratching their heads saying, why is he doing this? why is he going to florida and ohio and campaigning for these people? and thoughts, obviously. about future campaign possibly

for his wife in those key battleground states. so again, the going thought is that she will be in the race with an approval rate that go is high and really high when you put her up against fellow democrats. the thought is that she would be the one to beat in the democratic party. jon: and then there are the questions of putting her up against republicans. kimberly atkins wrote this in the boston herald, she writes, as the republican field for 2016 stands today, hillary clinton doesn't have much to worry about. for all the talk about benghazi and obamacare, she has a lot to be happy about, the action of the g.o.p. pre-presidential coming out party gave us a glimpse of the republican future and for the g.o.p., the future is bleak. might be a little overdone there, but certainly she has the name recognition. she would be a for midable candidate if she decides to run.

>> i think it's a little premature for kimberly to go that far and write all of that. there's a lot that can happen between now and 2016 and the republican party has a lot of people that potentially could gain name recognition, could gain popularity and we haven't probably seen all of the people who might be getting their name in the race. there will be a focus on people that we haven't seen focused on in the g.o.p. side who perhaps didn't even attend cpac this past weekend so that may have been a little presumptuous to go that far. jon: interesting. thank you. special report each weeknight here on fox news channel. bret brings you all of the political news 6:00 p.m. eastern. jenna: just blocks way from the ground zero, terror trial resuming for the son-in-law of osama bin laden. he's the man whose alleged job

was to recruit terrorists. he killed more americans after the september 11 terror attack. jonathan is live outside of the u.s. district court in downtown manhattan with more. >> he came intu court wearing a gray suit and white shirt. he heard his lawyers cross-examine a man called fahim al wan. he's a muslim, american citizen from lackawanna, new york. he testified that he travelled in 2001 to an al qaeda training camp in afghanistan and during that trip, he met ghayth who urged him and others in his group to plea allegiance to osama bin laden. now, ghayth appeared to be listening in court today, using ear phones for a translation.

as his attorney asked if he was sure about what he claimed to have heard, asking, quote, given that it was 13 years ago, is it possible that you're mistaken about the reference to osama bin laden? the witness replied, no. prosecutors are using this testimony to bolster their case that ghayth played a key role for al qaeda and osama bin laden in recruiting fighters prior to the attacks of 9/11. later today the court will hear from creditish citizen, an accomplice of richard reid who tried to bring down american airlines flight 63 from pair toys miami in december of 2001. he will appear today via video link from london. he's expected to testify about his time in al qaeda training camps and any interactions he

may have had with gyath. jenna: thank you. jon: fox news alert. volatile crisis in ukraine taking another dangerous turn. russian troops now poised for a large scale air defense exercise any day now including live firing drills. moscow also tightening its grip on crimea with the pentagon estimating 20,000 russian troops are on the ground there now. jennifer is live at the pentagon where they're keeping an eye on all of this. >> new reports out of crimea suggest russian troops fired shots this morning with automatic rifles as they tried to take oef a naval post today. russian troops removing vehicles from that base. >> not believe that crimea will slip out of russia's hands. >> you think crimea is gone.

jenna: happening now, g.o.p. looking to gain some ground with younger voters after cpac last weekend. a new pugh research poll shows more than half of all millenn l millennials say they're

democrats. the senator says it's important to have a chance at the midterms and beyond. >> message that i'm trying to promote, whether i do it or not, of bringing our message to minority voters, to people that have been persecuted throughout history, to young people who feel like the government has grown too big, i think it's a message that can grow the party. i think there's a real opportunity for republicans who do believe in the fourth amendment to grow our party by attracting young people and bring that energy into our party. jenna: joining us is the associate editor and columnist for "the hill" and the editor and fox news correspondent. rich, we're all so close to that age. rich, is this the right strategy? rand paul strategy, government that's not intrucive, is that

the right way for the g.o.p. to reach out to young voters? >> i salute rand paul because i think he's right, the party needs emphasis on growing the pie. they need to be creative and not just necessarily stuck in the same sold things but i'm not sure how much the things that he's particularly interested in, including the n.s.a. program, are going to move the needle among young people generally. i think the broad approach has to be come up with a positive, future oriented agenda that's go ahead for all the country and then hope young people and everyone else sees the merits of it. jon: they looked at whether the young people wanted government in their lives and the majority favored bigger government that provides more services. so do you agree with rich, that it has to be a broader platform for young people and more positive message rather than one that's centered on government? >> right. young people have to be convinced the republican party has a plan to grow the economy

because they came of age in the recession, most of them have parents or adults around them and their family or their neighborhood who suffered job loss and maybe never got their jobs back or remain, you know, still not meaningful employed. and so look at them. they're drowning in student loan debt. they obviously prefer a stronger safety net because they're scared they're going to be in and out of jobs their whole life without financial security. so i think a message that speaks not only to civil liberties as rand paul is doing and can tap into their mistrust of government that would tend to make them targets for conservatives, it has to be about something that make them feel they're going to have financial security in the future, that the economy will grow and they'll find steady employment and be able to put themselves in the middle class. jenna: does it surprise you that the republican party doesn't have a platform for this already? >> some of this has rightly and understandably focused on

opposing president's disastrous agenda in my mind. i think the party needs to pivot and focus on a bold, positive agenda. you heard this from up and down ha -- rand paul and amy is right on how important the economy is here. this pugh survey says the millennials are the first generation that are worse off in terms of student debt, worse off in terms of poverty, wars off in terms of unemployment than the has to be an opening for republicans there if they come up with a new kind of bread and butter, economic agenda that connects with people. jenna: what would that look like, though, a bread and butter agenda? what would have to be included in it? >> i think both parties obviously. if you look at polling, no matter what the age of the americans responding to surveys these days, neither party gets any good marks for any kind of jobs agenda. that's clear. i think that the republican

party will need to get off of the subject of obamacare by saying that they could replace house security in another way for americans and at the same time try to make their policies about limited government, limited taxation and limited regulation. something that appeals to young people as a driver of economic growth and a means to more hiring. right now, the young people know as the rest of us do, that the companies around this country are doing very well. they're just not hiring. there's got to be a way to find a message to the voters that says our policies will loosen up and get the parties growing again. neither party has not been able to do that. jenna: we'll see if they test anything out ahead of the 2016 elections. great to have you both. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. jon: conservatives coming down hard on the media for their coverage of cpac. do reporters just love it when

republicans fight? plus losing an hour of sleep because of daylight savings time's arrival can do more than make you drowsy. it could also affect your health. we'll tell you how and what you might do about it coming up. so you're telling me your mom has a mom cave?

jon: right now the news media under fire for their cover janing of cpac. conservatives of all stripes wrapped up their annual gathering over the weekend but the conference, more than a way for potential 2016 presidential candidates to win over thousands of activists. it also was a battle for the heart and soul of the g.o.p. pitting established republicans like chris christie against tea party fire brands like texas

senator ted cruz. it might be a no win situation according to the media. the media will attack republicans no matter what. >> i certainly hope not. it's much more interesting when they're drawling with one another but they've been fighting since 1912 when a former republican ran against an incumbent republican and the conservative movement can't win in this argument because if they're harm own yus, the media says no diversity and then when they argue with each other, they say cry havoc and slip the dogs of civil war in the republican party. it's perfect nonsense. jon: alan colmes and jim pickerington, both of these gentlemen are fox news contributors. so what do you think about his point, alan? if this was a liberal conclave,

the news media would have been singing the praises. >> cry me a river. conservatives also complaining they're not getting fair treatment in the media but i the conservatives saying that it wasn't fair. i'll give you some examples. news busters, a conservative website, says that "new york times" called cpac strident. christie offers g.o.p. subtle advice which they highlighted as neutral. the g.o.p. is divided. so, you know, conversely, when the net roots met the away of progressive bloggers, "new york times" headline said it was a pep rally for a democratic team. so it's hard for me to show much empathy for conservatives complaining when i don't feel the media coverage was that terrible. jon: "new york times" headline that george will was referring

to, divisions in g.o.p. are laid bear -- bare on first day of conference. >> it also used the word fester and that's a word for like bledding wound with pus and disgusting and the media are good at doing sly little word choices. for example, over the weekend, the scandal concerning organizing for america, the obama political group, they say talked about hitting someone for contributions. meet at the white house. they called it a lapse. they didn't call it a scandal. they said there's a lapse for the way america's standards were hurt by this ethical lapse. or the president taking a vacation in florida, they say that "the washington post" headline is it pains to say it's a working vacation. he's not taking time off. it's a working vacation. the way the media covers cpac is the subtle word choices like

fester mean a lot. that's why the mainstream media use them. jon: alan, even strident carries negative connotations. >> it said less strident. they totally lied or misinterpreted to are fairer or kinder than the headline was. jon: i'm just saying that somebody is making the determination that the g.o.p. used to be strident. now hillary clinton is less strident. >> they won't take yes for an answer. no policy ideas came out of this. i think it's gret the media even covered cpac. all it was was bashing obamacare, bashing democrats. where was the policy? where was the policy vision? i think rand paul won the straw poll because he was one of the few people that had a positive

issue. >> less strident is like, quote, less feeding your wife. jon: we'll try to make our next segment less strident. jenna: i wonder if you made the banned words segment with strident today. maybe i'll put in a good word. i always like his word ban. search is growing for a missing malaysia airlines flight. it could be an act of terrorism. what authorities are looking at now. oscar pistorius having a meltdown during his murder trial after hearing about his girlfriend's autopsy. but is the defense now winning their case improving that the killing was an accident? away...

jon: oscar pistorius having an emotional breakdown during his murder trial. the track star accused of murdering his girlfriend started weeping and vomiting in court while a pathologist testified about the autopsy. a judge ordering a division blackout of that testimony out of respect of the victim's family. trial is now entering the second week. pistorius defense argued he killed his girlfriend after mistaking her for an intruder. prosecutors say pistorius killed her on purpose after the two had a tremendous fight. >> i think that the very personal nature of finding that

the autopsy examination as well as the very graphic details pertaining to some of the injuries and wounds which may be described have the potential to compromise the dignity of the deceased and although -- i believe it is my duty and our duty to protect or to preserve the dignity of the deceased as well. jon: that was an explanation about why the testimony of the contents of the autopsy were blacked out. very, very descriptive stuff, let's put it that way. jonna is with us along with john, a criminal defense attorney. from what you have heard of this testimony, i mean, pretty gruesome stuff. obviously about what the bullets did to her, especially the fourth and final shot apparently

entered her head. does it help the prosecution's case this was murder or does it help the defense say this was a terrible accident? >> my honest opinion, jon, it does neither of those two things and the reason for that is this. it's not an issue. there's no question who shot the bullet, how many were shot, where the victim was when she got shot. there's no issue to that. everybody is a degreeing, including the defendant, that that is what happened. so the fact that we have to hear -- or the judge had to hear the gruesome testimony from the medical examiner about what exactly the bullets did to the victim, that's what bullets do. that's not going to help either side or hurt either side for that matter. jenna: do you see it the same way? >> i do see it the same way and i think that the prosecution has a little bit of a hurdle to jump. the hurdle is in this case whether oscar pistorius' actions were reasonable under the circumstances. and unless he could rebutt that, he's going to have a problem. in africa, they have the same

type of system as we do in the u.s. except for the jury. in that case, in the pistorius case, you have a judge listening to all the facts but the burden is on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt which is a high level of certainty. allegations of suspicion will not be enough to convict oscar pistorius. at this point, lacking a motive, lacking any kind of reason why oscar pistorius would want to kill her, i don't see it being a homicide case. perhaps negligence of some kind but not homicide. jon: our excellent producer was in the courtroom sitting literally right behind oscar pistorius when some of the testimony caused him to retch and even more than that but i found myself wondering, is that real or is that just an act? and if you're in court in front of just the judge and no jury present, i mean, is the judge going to be paying attention to what's going on with his

physical -- >> i love your question. if he had a jury, then i would say maybe he was performing for the jury but since this is just the judge, i'm of the opinion that this was a genuine emotional reaction to hearing that testimony. let's not forget, you know, when the investigator showed up at his house, he was kind of having the same emotion. he was crying, leaning over the victim, trying to revive her so this isn't a stretch. i think he's an emotional guy and it almost -- if the judge believes this was genuine, it actually helps in his defense. jon: i don't think there are many people out there who would feel good about shooting another human being to death. we can all understand the emotion he felt afterwards. the question is what was hisf m beforehand? was there a vicious argument going on? >> and that is exactly the issue in this case. what was his intent? did he subjectly feel there was an intruder in the house?

the other question is shooting the bathroom door four times was unreasonable under the circumstances. you have to analyze the case as somebody who has prosthetics, somebody on his stumps, literally on his stumps, at the time this happened so you have to go into subjective beliefs and recognize whether or not that's reasonable. there's nothing to dispute the fact that it was not reasonable at the time and therefore, i think the homicide case will not be met. houfrp, again, as i said, i think he will be found guilty on a lester included charge of gun charges or perhaps criminal negligence. jon: back to last year, he said there was testimony that she had food in her stomach, had been awake and eating at about 1:00 a.m. pistorius' version of events is that they were both asleep by that time. that would suggest -- i mean, that's not going to help his case. >> you know what? it's quite plausible that maybe they both fell a slope. he was asleep, she woke up and went and grbed a snack.

he's not aware because he's asleep and he's roused because he thinks there's an intruder in the house. we will find this out when he takes the stand. as sure as we're all sitting here, he has to in order for his defense to be viable. jon: that is going to make for incredible testimony if you're right about that. thank you both. >> thank you. jenna: we're getting new information on a mid air mystery. the search for the missing malaysia airlines jet now in the third day. two u.s. navy ships joining the 34 planes, nearly two dozen other ships and crews from 10 countries scouring the land and sea. the f.b.i. also heading to the airport in malaysia on an investigation of its own to see if terrorists took the plane down. this after two people using stolen passports checked in on the flight. something that congressman peter king says should not have been possible. >> what happens is when a passport is stolen, that

passport is tagged so there's no way you should be able to get into any airport at all using a stolen passport. jenna: aviation officials cannot prove what took the plane down until the aircraft is actually located and a full investigation can take place. as we monitor the fast moving developments in the ukraine, our next guest says there's big myths about the region. we'll get into that. the peruvian government makes a big ruling on the man suspected of murdering natalee holloway.

jon: fox news alert.

an israeli leader showcasing a successful interception. prime minister netanyahu and top military brass displaying a huge shipment of uranium weapons captured at sea last wednesday by israeli naval commandos. conner powell with more on when they've got. >> this is a major intelligence victory for israel. these m 302 surface to surface missiles are considered advanced and powerful weapons, much more advanced and powerful than the current weapons used by militants in gaza right now. according to the i.d.f., the missiles were made in syria, then transferred to iran and sent from the seaport in iran with a stop in iraq and ultimately headed to the sudan where israeli commanders seized the ship and all the cargo in the red sea. video shows the rockets were hid in brown bags containing

comment. the missiles were bound for goes a. it's not clear which group in gaza they were meant for. it could have been hamas, could have been islamic jihad. it isn't clear right now. still this comes as international talks with iran over the nuclear program are heating up. negotiations are opposed by israel and most israeli officials believe they're foolish talks. netanyahu said today that iran cannot be trusted and just like this shipment of weapons, iran is trying to hide the nuclear program. netanyahu saying the world must wake up and prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. he said this week's seizure of weapons is just more evidence of the dangerous game that iran is playing in the middle east. jon: what a story. god thing they intercepted the missiles. jenna: russian forces tightening their grip on the ukraine. russian president vladmir putin

showing no signs of acting down. my next guest says there are five big myths from the ukraine crisis with the first being we're back in the cold war, that vladmir putin is hitler, it's all obama's fault and that bombing syria would have saved ukraine and ukraine can have a hollywood ending. joining me is the vice president and distinguished scholar at the wood row wilson center and also a mideast negotiator. let me start with the final point first about whether or not this could have a hollywood ending. you say we could actually make that impossible. how so? >> well, i don't want to blame us. i mean, this is on vladmir putin. the problem is that you're dealing with a state that's right now an economic basket case. it has dependency on russian gas, its credit ratings are worse than gross and ukraine is going to be in some measure of disfunction for a long time to come. that's going to make it easier for vladmir putin to meddle and

to enhance russian influence, particularly given russian ethnic minorities in ukraine and in crimea. so unless by some magical moment or wand ukraine ended up being unified politically, you're going to end up with a go ahead deal of uncertainty and a lot of russian meddling over the course of the next six months. jenna: so in your opinion is it inevitable at this point? >> certain thing are unavoidable. you're going to have a referendum on march 16. whether he chooses to recognize it as legitimate is another manner. he did in georgia. he did not in other places. he has an option there. there's an off ramp presumably if he wants to take it.

for the most, this is a guy who essentially is riled up, he's demonstrating that he can do this, he's tired of being ignored and the reality is, jog gref, proximity, history, he has most of the cards on this one and we don't. jenna: i want to talk about vladmir putin in relation to one of the points that you make in your article that it's all obama's fault. that's one of the things we keep hearing that you say is a myth. senator mccain was just on america's news room and bill asked him to grade our president and his actions thus far in ukraine. let's take a listen to that. >> somewhere between a d and an f. i'm sure the president has done a lot of great things. presidents do. as far as dealing with vladmir putin and russia, it is a total, absolute misreading and fade. president bush also did not read

vladmir putin well. jenna: you were just talking about vladmir putin as a profilist, someone here with a certain style of leadership and certain dynamic and senator mccain is criticizing the president but also saying that president bush did not have a good read on t. what are we missing? >> look. i think john mccain is a great american. i'm not sure i agree entirely with him. i do agree it's not necessarily -- it is a misread. the problem is that neither democrats nor republicans have demonstrated a who will lot of a cuity when the former soviet union or russians decide to pose their will and a zone of influence. in 1956 the russians invaded hungary. johnson administration preoccupied in vietnam couldn't react and senator mccain concedes that. i think he's right. even the george w. bush administration responds in

georgia. it wasn't forceful, either. they did what they could. the reality is, look. this president is risk a verse. there's no question about it. at sometimes his foreign policy resembles a blend between the three stooges and the marx brothers. but trying to lay this one on him, to assume somehow the trail begins in benghazi, runs through a failure to respond over a red line in damascus seems to misunderstand the reality. vladmir putin is angry, he's riled up, he wanted to demonstrate the fact that you cannot take the russians for granted and he moved into crimea and there was nothing, unless we were prepared to go to war and risk a nuclear standoff or confrontation with the russians that we could really do about it. i think in the end, jenna, vladmir putin will lose the long game just as in hungary and czechoslovakia he lost it as well.

for the moment, this one buzz of proximity, geography and vladmir putin's will, i think this one at the moment goes to the russians. jenna: we would love to have you back to talk about what the long-term goal is when it comes to eastern europe for the united states. that seems to be at the center of this is where are we going, not just this year but many years in the future. you give us a lot to think about. thank you very much. >> thank you. jon: did you hit the snooze button a few extra times this morning as daylight saving time begins? the doctor is in to tell you how the time change, i should say, could take a toll on your body. also repealing obamacare has been a major sticking point for republicans. can they finally repeal it after the midterm elections? if they don't, how long will the fight continue?

jenna: so many of us are reaching for some extra coffee today. doctors say daylight saving time can have a big impact on our bodies, affect our sleep patterns. that sound is horrible. some studies even found increased heart attacks in the week after daylight saving, along with more vehicle accidents. let's bring in dr. campbell, assistant professor of medicine at the university of north carolina. as a practicing cardiologist, do you see people have heart troubles in the week we spring forward? >> you know, there was an article in the journal of the american college of cardiology that really substantiates this. people are extra stressed during this week after the time change and we do find increase the rates of heart attacks and strokes and other emergency room visits for chest pain and the like during this prime period. jenna: anything we can do to make it >> in the first couple of days of this week, if we expose

ourselves to really bright lights in the early morning hours, even a light box with fluorescent lights and then in the evening time, as tempting as it is to go out in the afternoon at 8:30 at night and have a margarita as the sun is setting, avoid the light at night after 6:00 for a few days and it will help reset your internal time lock and all the bad feeling everyone is having today going away. jenna: now we can say it was doctor's orders to make sure we adjust appropriately but the point you're making about the light, it really speaks to why we're struggling with this, some of us, the time change. you might travel from one state to the other and not be as effected as when we have to move our clocks forward an how were. it has to do with the light, right? >> absolutely. our bodies are set up to respond to changes in bright lights and darkness. our bodies make a hormone that's called melatonin that i'm sure

you've heard of and we call it the vampire hormone. the brain only produces this in the dark. we have to make sure we have enough melatonin in our brain to help us go to sleep. we can take supplements. it just takes a little while to reset our internal clocks and we feel groggy and crabby and not our best for a couple of days while we reset. jenna: you said it. how are you feeling today? doing all right? >> i'm a little slow. i have to say instead of my normal double espresso, i had a quad and that helped some. jenna: that's okay for your heart? i'm worried about you already. really? >> it's not the smartest thing in the world but, you know, every once in a while, everything in moderation is probably okay. jenna: i'm on to you, doc. sounds pretty good. great to see you as always. >> you, too. thanks for having me today. jon: and speaking of daylight saving time, toronto's notorious crack smoking mayor is trying to turn back time. the tweet that is earning him
