"fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it is friday, march 14. we begin with a fox news alert. did the malaysian jet appear on purpose and did it land on a secret runway? >> they're everywhere in the world. they are used for training in past wars and that sort of thing. you could land a triple 7 right there. >> breaking developments straight ahead. official sick and tired of hearing this from his boss kathleen sebelius too many times. >> how many of those that have signed on, that have enrolled in obamacare have paid their premium?

"fox & friends" begins right now. >> it's "fox & friends."ç ♪ ♪ >> brian kilmeade is off today. we don't know exactly where he's at. he's taken an extra day for his three-day weekend. we got clay. >> good morning. >> do we have another fox news alert four regarding the airplane? we do. brand-new clues reporting the missing malaysian airlines was sabotaged. according to news somebody
3:02 am
intentionally turned off the data reporting system and the transponder 14 minutes later. new satellite reports prove the plane may have flown an additional five hours after it disappeared from radar. the u.s. will use these clues to expand its search into theç indian ocean. >> this search is getting much more complicated because of all of this recent evidence. what we heard yesterday seems to be almost confirmed now that in fact this airplane continued to send data back to the ground meaning it continued to operate even after it lost contact. that combined with the fact that some of those systems appeared to be shut down intentionally raises all kinds of possible scenarios. that is why everyone is taking another look at the flight crew, for instance. what were they doing leading up to this instant.
3:03 am
also what was really >> i think one of the things that has not yet been investigated is what cargo was aboard this aircraft. it's possible that there was some illicit cargo somebody wanted to get from point a to point b for some tphef -- nefarious reason. >> the idea that the plane flew for another four or five hours widens things out considerably. now you're talking about a radius of another 400 or 500 miles. that includes the indian ocean. who is in charge of this search? >> because the wreckage hasn't been found there is no country responsible to conduct the crash investigation. it is really quite a problem because in fact as the former chairman of theç ntsb, jim hall, likes to tell people, you need somebody in charge and
3:04 am
literally at this point nobody is in charge because there is no country heading up the investigation. >> when you broaden out this search to include the indian ocean, that is a massive area. it is going to take a long time. u.s. assets are being brought to the front to assist in that effort. the u.s. navy sent a destroyer to help out in the search. back to you guys. >> a lot of questions. >> they had a press conference a short while ago, malaysian officials and transportation officials saying there are a lot of bizarre reports emerging and we are trying to get to the bottom of it. they're tryingç to get information from china this morning. that is the latest from the malaysian transportation officials. >> our fox news team has been digging through all the scenarios as they come up and wielding questions for everybody else. we're going to go through some of them and go back to these experts and see what
3:05 am
they have to say about it. this is one question. could the plane have been hijacked and actually landed? this is a massive vehicle. this is a former triple 7 pilot. on greta and what he had to say about that. >> if you have an unrestricted g.p.s. signal, you can just make up your own approach and fly it right to the runway. you can fly it and land in the dark if there was a fairly big strip of concrete and no facilities on the ground whatsoever. they're everywhere in the world. they were usedç for training during past wars and all that sort of thing. i used to fly out of a little tiny airport near gainesville, florida, called williston and it was 75 feet of concrete. i think it was either 75 or 100 feet wide. you could land a triple 7 right there. you could land a triple 7 a lot of places that you can't take off because you burn the fuel down, it's
3:06 am
light. you could land on a very short runway. >> could you imagine if this landed somewhere? >> that is one of the scenarios they are considering, whether or not it landed someplace else. at one briefing they are plane was diverted with the intention -- quote -- "of using it later for another purpose." which is crazy. keep in mind that circle where it possibly had enough gas, it could be in eastern portions of pakistan. of course there's the possibility it crashed in the water. but if it did crash in the water, why haven't we found anything yet? we have a "wall street journal" reporter on the story. >> there is one incontrovertible story fact. if you have a plane of this size go into the water, any water anywhere where you're going to have stuff on the
3:07 am
surface. you are going to have things float from inside the cabin from maybeç inside the over -- >> a press conference said they looked at two separate oil slicks one that gave no evidence tied to this jet. the other slick had jet fuel not tied to this jet. oil slicks, no debris. those floating parts of the seat cushion made to float, nothing out there. >> really eerie in the fact there is nothing to be found. finding nothing says something potentially dangerous in terms of that use, that alternate use that keeps coming up in this theory. another people that has people spinning their heads, if it was taken, why wouldn't passengers on the plane call for help. not oneç call so far has been revealed. this is what has to be said about that. >> when you're over the middle of the ocean you wouldn't be in range of a tower. even if you're trying to
3:08 am
send a message, it wouldn't get through. when the airplane diverted and turned back over the malaysian peninsula, there was probably some period of time where they were in range of cell towers. when you're at high altitude a lot of cell phone systems shut off any signal coming from the airplane. >> that was one of the early stories was loved ones said the phone calls were still going through. but i've got a question for you, clayton. maybe you know the answer. you use the find my iphone function, wouldn't that work? >> if you're in anary that actually has cell coverage. you drive through parts of the united states, evenç off of the main highway 15 miles and you get terrible cell coverage and therefore not likely to find it. >> even on 9th street you lose coverage in new york. >> above those cell towers, can be cut off. even if you ever accidentally leave your phone off when you're taking off from a flight,
3:09 am
you'll see bars going down, down when you're barely even up leveling off. >> that is when you're over land. when you're over the ocean you'd have less ability to do that. then why hasn't anyone claimed responsibility is another question that keeps coming up. are there any clues to who this could be? analyst and this is what he indicated. >> iranians have been ruled out by interpol primarily because they seem to be clean skinned, not members of any terrorism groups people are aware of. but one has to ask if the underwear bomber had been successful in blowing up the flight approaching detroit he also was a clean skin at that point. he wasn't someone known to counterterrorism officials as a member of a group. >> two things you mentioned off the top, steve. someone deliberately turned
3:10 am
off those two separate transponders. >> 14 minutes apart. >> we had an expert who said that is why he's concerned pilots are involved. he said with all these things happening, he's questioning what is goingç on with the pilots. >> those transponders, you log into them apparently, having not flown myself or dealt with a transponder, experts are saying it is much like logging into a complex computer system. you have to be trained to turn on, turn off. >> if you're the pilot or copilot, you know how hard it is to turn off the transponder, that's it. the big question is where is the airplane? we still don't know. could it be terrorism? maybe. >> did it land? >> we're going to bring you all details as they come to us. in the meantime, heather nauert, good morning. >> good morning, elisabeth. other news i want to tell qzejuher developing story we're following also

we first told you about rebecca stuart, a mom who went toe to toe with the president last month over her concerns of her son's coverage under obamacare. >> i spent weeks days on the phone getting confidently delivered wrong answers, conflicting information. what are you doingç to fix this? >> what i'll do first right away is make sure somebody out of here, this white house calls you directly. i promise you not only will it be confident but it will be the right answer. >> since their confrontation, the white house is giving exemptions to people whose plans were canceled saying they won't have to pay penalties under the individual mandate. why didn't they say that in the first place and how does rebecca feel about the latest change? she joins us now to react. good morning. what was your reaction. this is indeed what you were asking for directly to the president. >> yes. pretty cool. and thank you for that. it is good we've gotten
3:18 am
some results. it seems like maybe we have the opportunity to improve things. maybe. but at this point why are we here? why do we have to come to this point? it seems like a lot of people were saying in the beginning before this was to be delayed. people realized there were a lot of problems and really they were demonizing for that. we have to roll this out now. and look what's happened. the president is pulling the threads himself on his own law and kind of unraveling it on his own. we're kind of at an i told you so moment. the president even realized they need to take a step back and there are problems despite what people like harry reid might think. there are a lot of different problems out there. >> you're alluding to the fact that he said these stories are not true. these are lies from the american people, paraphrasing there, with these hardshipsç when in fact hardships exist. do you think this is a real fix? >> we don't know yet
3:19 am
because it has only been a week since they made this announcement and the insurance companies found out at the same time we did. it is my understanding there are basically three elements to this. the white house taking their part to say it is okay, you don't have to jump into this right now when you don't have the information to do it or some of the things you need. the state also has to be on board which at least in kentucky i was told by the white house directly that kentucky is okay with this. then the insurance companies have to figure it out. these huge insurance companies that have to make sure they get things right. they can't just stop on a dime and turn things around and go back to what we had before, i don't think. actually i'm waiting to find out if i'll be able to take advantage of this or not. >> what i'm hearing from you as a mom, there is a lot of uncertainty. you have worked andç been diligent in terms of getting this out there and getting your voice heard by the white house. but anything can change. the president himself can scratch off anything that doesn't seem to be working so how unsettling is that
3:20 am
when you have your son who needs specific medical care? as a mom, how do you feel? >> you know, when i was originally told and getting different information and different agencies, i was told i wouldn't be able to continue my son's care that he was getting at the number one pediatric hospital only ten minutes away from me happens to be across the state line into ohio and that is what sent me through the roof and got this mama bear all riled up. since then we've takenç steps to fix the exchange. i literally on the phone with the exchange helping them determine what's wrong, what's not working right, what needs to be fixed. we've gotten that done. the information has come together so children's hospital agrees with the exchange and what they can do and we have an option. it's getting better, but we're still kind of uncertain as to what we'll be able to do at this point. at least there's an opportunity. >> rebecca stewart, thank you. you got in there and did

quick check of your friday morning headlines. overnight the u.s. army announced plans to cut its combat brigade nearly in half. those are the soldiers who can be deployed overseas and sustain themselves. it is part of a plan to trim almost half a million soldier by 2017. president obama ordering a review of immigration laws to see if there is a more humane way to deport people. the administration already proposing changes like
3:25 am
alternatives to detention for immigrants who aren't deemed a flight risk. and the deportation of dream act eligible immigrants has already been stopped. there you go. all right. clayton. >> another fox news alert. indicating three tracking devices on the missing malaysian jet may have been deliberately shut off mid air as it veered hundreds of miles off course. we're learning from the "wall street journal" that india is expanding its search for missing malaysian flight 370 to land areas. hundreds of uninhabited islands. let's ask former air force pilot commander and fox news contributor lieutenant general tom mcinerneny. what do you make of this report from the "wall street journal" that they are looking to land on islands, that this thing might not have crashed after all? >> i think that's a good
3:26 am
start, clayton, but i would start in pakistan and go in that direction. you can't hide that airplane on an island unless you haveç a huge hangar. i do believe it was hijacked. there are five very significant dots we can now track, and they are, number one, the last transmission where it said good night; number two when they make a turn to the southwest; number three when the data system is turned off at 4:07 and number four 14 minutes later when the transponder is pinged off. i don't believe this airplane crashed. i do believe it was hijacked. i do believe itç landed someplace. i would start first looking in pakistan. the runway is large enough and they have a large hangar and i'd like in eastern iran.
3:27 am
but something very bad has happened. >> what would they want with this aircraft? why would they want to hijack it? look at the plane's manifest, it doesn't seem anything stands out other than those two individuals who have those stolen passports. what stands out to you that they would want this aircraft? >> that's a great question and now i'm going to speculate because i don't know. but i could envision that terrorists could use it, fill it up with explosives, attack a u.s. aircraft carrier, put a nuclear weapon, a prototype on it. it is real. the united -- hit israel, the united states. i believe there are terrorist connections involved with it. no one is just going to steal anç airplane. you can buy them if you want to. but for some odd reason -- and i believe it points to the air crew because it was a very skilled person in there that knew the sequence of which ones to turn down and what they were doing, they had a
3:28 am
satellite phone on it so they could be talking to wherever they were going to be landing and we wouldn't have known. >> when you see pictures of the guys with the stolen passports, they look like kids. this shows serious knowledge of this aircraft to have technical know how, how to turn off transponders or some sort of connection to training, wouldn't you say? >> absolutely. that is why i think theç malaysian government and the airline has been so devious. we've had more different leads come out of this thing which is very confusing to everybody, to include the chinese. i'm now thinking those are the five points and that we ought to be looking. if someone wanted that airplane you're not going to fly into the indian ocean to crash it. you would have crashed it into the gulf of thailand if they wanted to do it. someone wanted to use that airplane for something. and you asked the right question. i don't have the right answer necessarily. >> why would they have chosen this country to get this aircraft? could they have not gotten
3:29 am
this airplane someplace else or was it like a seive over there, a place for terrorists to walk in and get this thing? >> i think they chose an airline, which one had the least restrictive measures et cetera and which was the best set up. again i don't have that answer but i think it may leadç into that direction. >> lieutenant general tom mcinerneny, thanks so much. coming up on the show, is the love fest over? mark zuckerberg not liking how the white house is haddon -- is handling your privacy. they have the best on the job training anyone can get so why do our military have trouble getting e.m.t. jobs here at home?y birthday to billy crystal. ♪ ♪ç

4:02 am
uninhabited islands. this as new saddle right reports -- satellite reports it may have flown for five hours after it lost contact. it turned possibly and went in that direction. the new clues suggest the flight was, in fact, sabotaged. according to the u.s. officials, someone intentionally shut down two separate communication systems. that data reporting system at 1:07 a.m. and the strand responder a few minutes later at 1:21 a.m just before the jet turned. doug is live with more on these latest developments. what can you tell us at this hour? >> reporter: we've lot of new evidence and old evidence and you combine it all and it seems to point to something deliberate here. let's start with what's new and it has to do with that engine data that was ping passengerred during this flight. that data continued to flow four or five hours after the aircraft otherwise seemed to disappear.
4:03 am
this tells us that the plane kept flying. it doesn't tell us where it was flying. for that, we turn to an old bit of evidence, that malaysian radar contact. malaysian officials said shortly after it took off and the communication equipment was shut down, the plane appeared or something appeared to make a sharp turn to the left and then it headed west. all of this indicating that perhaps this was something deliberate. >> there has to be human involvement here. first of all, even with the transponder, even if there was an electrical failure, there are battery back ups for that kind of thing. second, if the plane was in distress, it would have had -- there are multiple systems for -- you could radio for help. you could electronically signal for help. >> now there is a renewed focus on a number of different aspects of this flight, including the flight crew. what were they doing in the days leading up to the flight itself? this also has a big impact on the search area. we were talking about a relatively limited search area that initially included the
4:04 am
waters in and around malaysia. but the fact that this thing may have been flying for another four or five hours widens that out significantly and all of a sudden you're talking about a pretty good portion of the globe here. maybe as far as the southeast as australia, as far to the northwest as india. we know the search is really beginning to focus on the indian ocean. the u.s. is assisting in that effort. but it's not really clear who was ultimately in charge. >> because the wreckage hasn't been found, there has been no country that's responsible and has the authority to conduct a formal aviation crash investigation. so it's really quite a problem because, in fact, as the former chairman of the ntsb jim hall likes to tell people, you need somebody in charge. and literally at this point, nobody is in charge because there is no country heading up the investigation. >> we mentioned that the united states is helping out. one of the things the navy has done is they have dispatched the destroyer, uss kid, to the indian ocean it help in this
4:05 am
effort. but this is going to be a massive, massive undertaking. steve, clayton and elisabeth, back to you. >> doug live for us with the latest and breaking details. thanks. >> just the fact that there were two communication systems were deliberately -- they're using the word deliberately apparently -- disabled 14 minutes apart, that suggests it wasn't an accident or catastrophic. it do is sound like there is a real good possibility the plane cass commandeered. then you have, who did it? was it the pilots? did somebody else come in? did they land it somewhere else because the last time it pinged, it was at normal cruising altitude. >> can that happen? >> yeah. >> a massive vehicle, could it have been potentially hijacked, we're hearing the word intentional used over and over again. how exactly would you go about landing this? we asked a form pilot who flew a
4:06 am
plane exactly like this. >> if you have an unrestricted gps signal, you can just make up your own approach and fly it right to the runway with an auto landing. you can fly it and land in the dark if it was a fairly big strip of concrete and no facilities on the ground whatsoever. they're everywhere in the world. they were used for training during past wars and all that sort of thing. i used to fly flight instruct out of a tiny airport near gainesville, florida, and it was 7500 feet of concrete and it was 100 feet, either 75 or 100 feet wide. you can land a triple 7 right there. you can land a triple 7 a lot of places that you can't take off because you burn the fuel down, it's light. you can land on a very short runway. >> where are they looking at this hour? this is fascinating, you look at the flight path, they're scouring the flight paths,
4:07 am
which, according to the "wall street journal," a flight path looked like they could head toward the middle east. right now they're looking in these islands which have 572 island there is that they have to scour. only 37 of them are habitable. they're having to look there. question is, why would you want a plane like this? what would do you with it once you had it? we had a general on earlier this morning and he says it's nefarious. listen to this. >> i don't believe that this airplane crashed. i do believe it was hijacked. i do believe it land someplace and i would start first looking in pakistan. runways large enough, over 7500 feet and have a large hangar. i'd like in eastern iran. but something very nefarious has happened. i could envision that terrorists could use it, fill it up with slows, attack a u.s. aircraft airier, put a nuclear weapon a prototype on it. it is real. the united states. i do believe that there are
4:08 am
terrorist connections involved with it. no one is just going to steal an airplane. you can buy them. >> he's exactly right. it's interesting. over the last hour or so, i've been looking on-line. there are a lot of theories about what possibly could have happened. and to the general's point, there are a number of people who think that there is a real good possibility that the plane had landed -- has landed in vietnam and it's going to be used later as some sort of 9-11 weapon to the general's point. >> we hear this. it is incredibly disheartening to envision the size of this vehicle, 600,000 plus pounds that could be packed with weaponry, essentially a massive bullet that could be aimed anywhere on this globe. >> so many questions. there are a number of the passengers on board this plane were chinese. the chinese are trying to get information from the malaysians who are keeping it quiet. they want information to when this thing was radioing different towers. they're not giving the information to the chinese. as the general is worried about,
4:09 am
he said this country, you may have looked at malaysia as an area where might have been like a sieve for terrorists. it might not have been well protected. might have been a great entry point for terrorists to get on board, take control of this aircraft. why wouldn't passengers on board, if 154 were chinese and knew something was going on, why wouldn't they have tried to call for help if they could have over land? >> so obviously a question we're all asking here. so professor of aeronautics at m.i.t. explains why that wouldn't be possible necessarily. >> when you're over the middle of the ocean, you wouldn't be in range of a tower. so if you're trying to send a message, it wouldn't get through. when the airplane diverted and turned back over the malaysian peninsula, there was probably some period of time where they were in range of cell towers. however, when you're high altitude, a lot of the cell phone systems shut off any signal coming from the airplane. >> a lot of crazy theories. you brought up the vietnam scenario.
4:10 am
that's one. a lot of people are saying, it's crazy, but saying ufo's. and a malaysian official said he thought it might have been another bermuda triangle situation. >> there is another one out there. the iranians kidnapped the engineers, a bunch of engineers on this particular plane. there is a snowden connection. there are a million conspiracy theories out there right now. but the news this morning is that apparently -- it sounds like somebody turned off two of the communication systems 14 minutes apart deliberately. once again, where is that airplane and who may have taken it? >> as the details pour in, we will keep you posted. >> another airplane-related story this morning. this happening here at home. it's still a developing story at this hour involving a plane. dramatic scene caught on camera. you can see passengers as they run for their lives after their plane crashes on the runway in philadelphia. here it is. >> we're evacuating the plane. oh, my god.
4:11 am
>> she doesn't put down her camera. the pilot behind the controls of that u.s. airways plane tried to abort the takeoff when the nose gear collapsed. look at this. those are people all rush down the chute. this flight was headed to fort lauder dale. >> you looked out the window, the nose of the plane was up. there were sparks coming. >> everyone used those emergency slides to get off. fortunate knee, no one was seriously hurt. a few hours from now, a second round of documents that had been locked away in the clinton library will be leased. 4,000 pages. these documents are expected to touch on the topics including jfk's assassination, the 1994 genocide in rwanda and the transition from clinton to the bush administration and remember all those hanging chads? that with the 2000 election. all that expected to be released to the public.

back now with a fox news alert. investigators are moving the search for the missing airplane from sea to land. uninhabited islands. the search begins with hundreds of islands off islands. the pilots deliberately shut off two different tracking devices in the cockpit. joining us is aviation expert dan hampton. nice to see you this morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me back. >> absolutely. it seems like overnight things shifting very quickly. seems like a lot of experts we've been talking to and reports coming out maybe moving this thing from having crashed in the ocean to having landed somewhere. where do you come down on this? >> well, it comes down to, again, what your supposition is on why this aircraft disappeared in the first place. was it a random act of madness, as we say from some pilot with a grudge who wanted to make the
4:18 am
airplane disappear, or is it tied to some larger political or ideological goal? >> if go with the first scenario, that he wanted to make the airplane disappear, then i think they finally started to move in the right direction by looking out into the indian ocean. i would come around a little bit further and head deeper out into the ocean because you're truly beyond the grid out there. there is no jet route north texas radar coverage. it would be very easy to disappear an airplane. >> i was just about to ask you about the radar. i was surprised, how could this thing have evaded the radar. we have stealth aircraft for just such an occasion. you're saying there is no radar out there anyway. >> no. most people think the earth is surrounded by a radar net, if you will. but it's not. there are huge empty gaps. what airliners and other commercial flights do is they fly high altitude jet routes that are like roads. they're numbered. they have specific direction,
4:19 am
heading, altitudes, et cetera, so that there is some degree of situational awareness when an airplane is beyond radar coverage. when you get into the area they're talking about, there aren't even really too many jet routes. so the chance of being able to put an airplane down out there somewhere, if that's your intent and have it disappear completely is pretty good. >> so you know these routes well then. what do these routes tell you that they may have taken, given that pivot point may have occurred and heading west? what does that tell you? heading toward the middle east? >> no. first of all, we need to make it clear that whoever is flying this is not some guy with a dozen hours from a flying school or a private pilot like the 9-11 hijackers were. you can't take a 400,000-pound airplane and maneuver it around the ocean at night, turning off equipment and doing whatever whoever it is up there is doing without some very specific skills.
4:20 am
so given that, i think it's kind of coincidental that he managed to overfly the only radar site in the straits that could track him, and if it was me, i would have done that deliberately to maybe throw everybody off. and instead of heading due west like the last plot was, if i was going to try to disappear the airplane, i'd then turn around and head further southwest, deep be out into the ocean. again, if i wanted to make the plane disappear. if i was going to try to land it somewhere, one of your previous guests was absolutely correct. it's a big airplane, but if you burn down fuel or dump fuel and you're not interested in the plane flying again and you land with the gear up, you can put that thing down in a fairly short distance. again, now we're getting into kind of political and ideological aspects of this. why would somebody do that. but it is possible. >> lieutenant colonel dan hampton, we appreciate you joining us. more questions at this hour. thanks. >> thanks. coming up here, parents,

"need for speed" is based on a video game series. i'm generally against video game adaptations for films, but this is directed by scott waugh who directed requests act of valor." the reason why it was so insane is that it used real navy seals and it was the first movie to use live ammunition since the 1920s. now scott waugh is taking this film, all real stunts, no computer generated imagery whatsoever, everything is realistic in the film. i sat down with scott and his

4:27 am
seems generous because the number of other critics don't like it. >> right. both "act of valor" and this film are lowly rated by other critics in the country. i thought "act of valor" was incredible. they're criticizing the script. this movie is just a mindless action film. there is nothing wrong with going to a theater and sitting down, turning your brain off and enjoying an action movie. for me, aaron paul is incredible in the film. he's an incredible, emotional actor. he's the best cryer in the business. he's amazing. i give it 3 1/2 out of five. if you're looking for an oscar winning script in acting, it's not here. "act of valor" was a phenomenal film and action and a great story. i liked both of the films. >> i want to move on to a different film. kristen bell, we've been hearing her through "frozen." but now "veronica mars" set to take the screen. what's your take? >> this movie made history. the first major film ever leased

david wright, was the director in the office of research integrity, saying it was, quote, the very worst job that he has ever had. he adds, i'm offended as an american taxpayer that the federal bureaucracy, at least in the part that i've labored in, is so profoundly dysfunctional. he says his supervisors told him to, quote, make my bosses look good. by the way, this guy is going to be releasing his daily logs. so we'll hear more about that job. new technology promises to keep your credit card safe even when it's stolen. there is a company that's creating a credit card with its own key pad. the full number on the card is hidden until you type in your password, which reveals the missing numbers and then allows you to use the card. the new card could be available as soon as this summer. clayton, that story was for you. you want your high schoolers to get better grades? here is one idea. let them sleep in. from california to georgia, high schools are now pushing back the first bell in order to give teen-agers more sleep time.

4:40 am
we could see some severe weather with damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes being a concern in big cities as well, like dallas, austin and houston. have a way to get those warnings into tomorrow. otherwise that same storm system will continue to head east and by sunday, it could produce winter weather. a bit of snow and wintery mix across parts of kentucky, indiana and illinois. so keep an eye on this. that same system heads east and then by monday, early in the morning, snow across parts of virginia, maryland, pennsylvania, new jersey, and even a little bit here in new york city. so this is the next storm system on the move. let's head back inside. >> we could wind up with snow on st. patrick's day. >> yes. >> great. >> green snow. thanks. coming up, the search is now expanding to land the missing jet. new information coming in right now. it was taken, they say, on

7:44 here on the east coast. a fox news alert. the search for that missing malaysian plane is now turning to land. this is brand-new clues suggest that jet may have been sabotaged. india now launching the first land serve this morning focusing on these two islands that you're about to see, just west of the area where the flight was last spotted on military radar. also breaking this morning, news from u.s. officials that someone intentionally shut down two of the plane's communication systems. first data recording system at 1:07 a.m. and then the transponder at 1:21 a.m this happening just before the jet turned west. if you ask any expert, he'd say this had to be intentional. listen to this. >> i think one of the things that has not yet been investigated is what cargo was aboard this aircraft? it's possible that there was
4:46 am
some illicit cargo that somebody wanted to get from point a to point b for some nefarious reason. >> according to satellite reports obtained from a third separate transmitter, the plane may have flown an additional five hours. we talked to you about this yesterday after it disappeared from radar. but we will keep following this. some important developments coming in this morning. steve? >> thank you very much. does seem suspicious. remember this guy, former gsa official jeff neily? that's him in vegas. he planned a lavish $800,000 government conference out there in vegas and then wound up hopping in that hot tub on our dime and the adult beverages. now government workers are racking up more than $17,000 on gym memberships, over $8,000 on gift cards, and more than $7,000 on hotel rooms. all this on their federal government credit cards so what happened to reining in excessive government spending? stuart varney is the host of varney and company and has more.
4:47 am
these excesses were just over at the epa that we know of. >> yes. so imagine that you're working there at the epa, you're busy killing the coal industry, you're busy raising the price of electricity and now some are stealing from the taxpayer. they got this inspector general's report on the use of credit cards by employees at epa. what strikes everybody is the extent of the dishonesty, quite frankly. they looked at $152,000 worth of credit card spending by epa employees. 79,000 of that was prohibited, improper, or erroneous. this is why the government is increasingly unpopular. they tell us what to do. they have great pay, great benefits, job for life and look at this kind of thing that happens. only two years after bathtub jeff. >> if this happened in the private industry, those people would be fired. and at the very least, the
4:48 am
company would try to claw back the money and get the money back. >> it seems like there is an us and them mentality arriving in america. president obama has vastly expanded the government bureaucracy and vastly expanded its power. there is not that much accountability for how that money is actually spent, which means that the whole of government and bureaucracy itself becomes increasingly unpopular. i think it reflects on president obama 'cause he's all government all the time. i think it reflects on him. >> when things like that happen on george bush's watch, it was george bush's fault. but with this, you really don't see this, even though they passed a law so this would never happen again. now it's happened again. >> the inspector general says there is lax oversight. they simply didn't check up enough. in other words, this vast bureaucracy which is designed to check everything at every stage, simply didn't work, period. >> and this could be just the tip of the iceberg. this saul we know about. >> it often is the tip of the iceberg, is it not?
4:49 am
>> do you have a statement from the epa? >> yes, we do. i shall read it to you here. the agency is taking steps to establish increased requirements for mandatory transactional documentation. what does that mean, steve? and insuring increased accountability for misuse of purchased cards. that sounds good with a british accent, doesn't it? >> does indeed. it is an eye opener, just the act that -- >> people are mad about this kind of thing. this is where your tax dollars are going. we're being stolen from. >> they ought to get the money back and some of those people probably ought to be fired. >> good luck with that. >> thank you very much. we're going to be watching you at fox business today at 11:00 o'clock right through 1:00 o'clock. from reality show "vixen" to wife, mother and trend setter, kristen cavalerri is here to tell us if we look terrific or not.

4:56 am
>> have confidence and just be yourself. >> i love that answer. >> that's a good message. >> some of it obviously is. but not everything. >> you've got two quarterbacks in your family. i think you called the shots as well. you have a one-year-old sweet boy and one on the way. you came under fire for saying you don't vaccinate the kids and don't plan to. what's your response to the harsh response? >> it is a harsh response. it's not something that i wanted to publicly come out and say. i sort of -- i was in an interview and it came up and it wasn't what i was expecting. to each their own. i understand both sides of it. i read too many books about autism and there is some scary statistics out there. so our personal choice, if you're really concerned about your kid, get them vaccinated, then it shouldn't be a problem. >> she's fabulous and she's an expert at that and that's why her show is called the fabulist

good morning. it's friday, march 14. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. did the pilots make the plane disappear on purpose? did it land on a secret runway? >> they're everywhere in the world. they were used for training during past wars and all that sort of thing. you could land a 777 right there. >> the brand-new developments straight ahead. and another developing story right here at home. >> we're evacuating a plane. oh, my god. oh, my god. >> she doing a selfy during an airline evacuation? passengers running for their lives afte crashes nose
5:01 am
down. we have breaking details from philadelphia. >> thank goodness she did 'cause we have a video of it. "duck dynasty" taking their faith to the big screen. >> all the stuff temporary. money, fame, success. temporary. even life is temporary. jesus, that's eternal. >> willie could cory robertson join us live. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> it's time for "fox & friends" >> this friday we got all this breaking news because it does sound -- the breaking news overnight is -- we told you yesterday that apparently that airplane was pinging for five hours in all, four hours longer than we thought it might be up there. now there is news that it sounds like somebody may have turned off two of the communication systems deliberately. >> deliberately is what has everyone with an erie feel not guilty their stomach. we're going to get right to that
5:02 am
fox news alert that we've been watching so closely. brand-new clues suggest the jet may have been sabotaged and now the search is turning to land. heather, exactly where are they looking? >> yeah. it sounds amazing. now looking at some land and possibly some islands that uninhabited. india now announcing this morning that it will begin searching several islands just west of the area for flight 370. some of these islands are completely uninhabited in the indian ocean. so far no details on what they're looking for just yet, whether the plane may have crashed or landed intact. here is a question so many of us want to know. was it hijacked and taken to a secret runway? still no one is certain at this point. we're also learning that two of the plane's tracking systems were turned off at separate times. first the data reporting system at 1:07 a.m. and then the transponder at 1:21 a.m
5:03 am
that telling investigators that the plane didn't suffer from a sudden catastrophe. they believe it's likely deliberate. >> i think it's become very simple. if the airplane was diverted, you're probably more likely to look at piracy and give up the idea it's been destroyed. if you have an unrestricted gps signal, you can just make up your own approach and fly it right to the runway with an auto landing. you can fly it and land it in the dark if it was a fairly big strip of concrete and no facilities on the ground whatsoever. you can land a 777 a lot of places that you can't take off. >> also new salts right reports that have been -- satellite reports apparently prove that the plane was sending a separate third tracking signal to a satellite in space. that signal indicates the plane may have flown an additional five hours after the transponders were turned off. a lot of new information coming
5:04 am
in. >> thanks so much. >> geraldo rivera here now. >> good morning. >> nice to see think morning. many of our viewers know your experience on the open ocean as a sailor. you, in fact, sailed through this area and you have experience. so set the scene for us. what do you think that area may look like. >> let me say that i don't necessarily accept or in any way promote this as an alternative, but it is remotely possible -- you remember the show "lost"? >> sure. >> the plane crashes in some remote place. just remember the plane crashing in the jungle. when we sailed a voyage around the world, we went over the north of indonesia, down those straits with high land on the -- thailand on the east and indonesia. the islands are the most protected, ecological preserves
5:05 am
anywhere. there are all kinds of restrictions. you can't anchor here or sail there. they are triple canopy rain forbeests, very unusual. most of those remote islands have been deforested by settlers. they still are a canopy. there is, i would anticipate, particularly if you didn't want to land and take off again, there are plenty of places where you could put a 777 down on a strip, even if it wasn't concrete, with all of the aeroengineering. they have all of those navigational devices. they can lands that thing almost anywhere if you don't care about taking off again. maybe my preposterous thesis, if you buy the possibility of a jungle crash landing is what if there was a cargo there we don't know about, something that they wanted, something being smuggled into china that we we wanted vitally it have? what if there was somebody on the passenger manifest,
5:06 am
particularly among the chinese where they've had so much domestic turmoil with the various ethnic groups, somebody on board you wanted to get? if your motive was to snatch a passenger or snatch a cargo, i submit that it is possible that you could have crash landed this plane in the islands as plot as they are. i think now let me think my most probable explanation. the payne stewart, remember the golf who are chartered the leer jet headed to atlanta. he's at 40,000 feet. they lose contact. the plane keeps flying. they scramble some f-16s. they look in the window and see the windows all frosted over. they lost oxygen in the cabin. the plane can keep flying for hours until it runs out of fuel and then it -- who knows what happened. the guy passes out, he goes like this and you hit the wheel, whatever happens to account for that turn. i think the payne stewart oxygen failure is the most likely
5:07 am
explanation, although i would like to think in the romantic and far fetched way perhaps that it landed in some romantic jungle. >> which was a great tv show, but realistically, maybe not. but you look at the news today where the officials now say it looks like somebody deliberately turned off two systems 14 minutes apart and it was still up in the sky for four or five hours. >> well, let me say, two things i didn't mention were alien abduction and the other one was meteor strike because there were meteors in the air. those are my two others. listen, first of all, i think the information coming out has been extremely unreliable. we've been told 100 stories so far. it's trickling out. we have no central voice on this. it's not as if the faa is in charge. it's not as if the ntsb is in charge. you have the malaysians, vietnamese, chinese. so many different yours dictions involved. the information has been extremely unreliable. the fact this -- let's assume that the devices were
5:08 am
intentionally turned off. wouldn't that corroborate in a way this romantic thesis of mine that someone hijacked the plane to land it -- >> absolutely. >> why wouldn't there be demands or terrorist threats and someone coming forth. >> excellent question. but you have -- if you buy my thesis, then remember that the goal is not terrorism. the goal is something more in the order of stuff or people. kidnapping or seizure, something like that. >> or something to come. is this just step one? >> i can't say -- unless you put that plane down on a fit field, you'll never get it up again. >> we had a general on earlier who said this might be part one of this and the reason they wouldn't have claimed it is they might want to pack the plane and use it for some nefarious purpose. >> i get that is remotely possible. but land ago modern jet like that on a primitive field is a lot easier than taking off from that kind of field.
5:09 am
if there was a concrete strip, it would have to be almost a mile long, a real runway. i cannot imagine that something that evolved could evade detection this far into the game, six days into the game. >> but we just don't know. >> we just don't know. we just don't know. but i like -- just imagine like a beam of light coming down and steering them this way. you will obey. i will obey. >> you had a malaysian politician come out and say that this could be another bermuda triangle. >> i covered that, too. who knows? >> thank you for your take on all of this. heather, you have other headlines? >> yeah, involving a airplane here at home. new details on another airplane incident that took place in philadelphia. some travelers are now just getting to their destinations this morning after this took place. >> they're evacuating the plane. oh, my god.
5:10 am
>> the pilot of this u.s. airways plane tried to abort takeoff when the nose gear of his plane collapsed. everyone used those emergency slides to did he tell off. this flight was headed to fort lauderdale with 149 passengers and five crew members on board. some of those passengers are now just getting to their destinations this morning on another flight. no one was seriously hurt when this happened. we'll keep watching that. a few hours from now, a second round of documents locked away in the clinton presidential library will be publicly released. 4,000 pages will be posted on-line about topics ranging from the jfk assassination to the transition between the clinton and bush white house. the documents are just a small fraction of the more than 30,000 records that were recently approved for release by the national archives. can't wait to see that. talk about making a really dramatic exit, this is quite a story this morning. a health and human services

earlier this week we told you about 7-year-old josh hardy as he lay fighting for his life against a curable virus, all because the drug he needed was being denied by its manufacturer. thanks to a nationwide call to action, the company reversed its decision, finally giving josh the much-needed medicine and a shot at life. so how is he doing right now? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins us. he was one of the first to bring this to light. peter, for people who did not see the story earlier in the week, why was the kid denied the drug? >> he was denied the drug because the company said, we're doing clinical trials and we don't have the time and money or a compassionate use program for his particular virus to give the drug. so that's the problem we have in this united states. it's the blame game. the drug companies blame the f.d.a. the f.d.a. blames the drug
5:17 am
companies. the f.d.a. says, we won't give approval for compassionate use, a one-time use of an experimental drug in a clinical trial unless the drug company says, we're going to give it to you. and the drug company says, well, we don't necessarily want to give it 'cause it's expensive and if it goes bad, it may derail the process. >> so the news was breaking on wednesday morning, apparently now josh has been given the drug. what's his status? >> it will take a couple of weeks to see how it's affecting him at this point. the family is excited. he's excited. he understands what he's received and let's take a look. there is amy hardy receiving the drug as it comes off the plane and brought to the intensive care unit and then we see again the drug being administered to young josh, the 7-year-old at saint jude's. we need to change the system in this country. the system in this country is that people who have wealth, people who have power, people
5:18 am
that have access to congress people can get to the f.d.a. to get the drugs that they need. in this particular case, this was a normal, average american family that was reaching out for josh. but they didn't have the capacity, the power, the access to have their message get out and across the country. we need a system that regularizes and equalizes and gives the ability for all americans to get the drug experimental or not, that they need that may save their life. josh was going to die, but he couldn't get the drug. >> the average person, unless they have the access to, as you said, the media or somebody in politics, they're just simply not going to get it. >> they're not going to get it and they can't be subject to the whim and caprice of drug companies that say, oh, if we give it to you, it's going to be unfair to everyone else.
5:19 am
that's an excuse, especially like this company that took $70 million in federal funding to develop this drug for another purpose. do they give b does the federal government say f you take our money, you have an obligation to help people in this country? that's how we need to change the process. >> keep us posted on josh. >> thank god. god bless him. >> absolutely. thank you. 19 minutes after the top of the hour. still coming up, brand-new cuts for our troops. is all this trimming of our military putting the united states in danger? plus, they brought faith and prayer to your tv set. now they're bringing it to the big screen.

of it this year when your dad came out with faith-based comments, the backlash was intense. cory, how do you, 'cause you -- the film is about being in that place. you had to choose between faith and the world. how do you as a family move through that? >> you know, our faith is in god and so that does make the things of this earth seem really temporary. whenever we were asked to do this role, it wasn't a big departure on how we live our life. it was exactly what we would say and exactly how we live. so that's really ultimately just about putting your faith in god and not being too worried about what people on this earth say. the main person's opinion that we're concernd about is god's. >> it's a strong message there. but when you hear that you're willing to lose it all and steve, brian and i, when we were down there with you, we had a blast. but i remember coming away thinking, you all kind of said in individual moments, you would be willing to let it all go at any point. how is that possible?

>> yeah. we've done this without success and even not as much money and we always had our inner core, our faith is what sustained us and made us many. that's where we derived our happiness. now that we have more of the other, you still can look back and if it's really in your core and you really believe it, then you really shouldn't change, even though your circumstances change. and it's provided us a way to get our message out more, to give money to the things that we think are important and so we just look at it as a strength and our family is stronger, still is. still moving strong and still together even though the challenges come. the good outweighs the bad and we -- just like the movie, this is all temporary anyway and we're ready for the next level. >> you seem to have the secret in terms of passing that down to the kids. i know they've got great web sites out there now and they're not afraid of their faith. they're fearist in their faith. we thank you for joining us and we are excited about "god's not

5:31 am
was a truly amazing day.ey, 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 the obama administration wants to shorten prison time for people who have been convicted of drug-related offenses. for instance, if you're only offense is smoking a lot of weed, your sentence would be four to eight years as president. >> after a childhood in the chum room. it's 29 minutes before the top of the hour. it's friday morning. you know what that means. it's time for that guy, chris wallace, joining us from our nation's capitol. >> hey, guys. >> big story is this missing plane. we've had so many theories out
5:32 am
there. what's washington looking at? >> well, the one thing that washington is looking at most closely because it would affect washington is the possibility of terror or some kind of takeover of the cockpit. at first that seemed like a really slim possibility. now with this report that -- two reports, first of all, that the engines were pinging the satellites with data about the engines for four hours after the plane went dark and now this report that two communication systems from the plane to the ground were turned off separately, that certainly raises the possibility of somebody taking over the cockpit or one of the pilots taking over the cockpit. i don't know that i can remember a story quite like this. with all of the satellites and all of the communications and the sense we have that somebody is watching us wherever we are, the idea that a plane, a 777 boeing could just disappear off the face of the earth for a week, it's pretty astonishing.
5:33 am
>> fascinating that this part of the world, there is very little radar detection, which learned this morning. we spoke earlier this lieutenant general tom and he had this to say. listen. >> i don't believe that this airplane crashed. i do believe it was hijacked. i do believe it landed someplace and i would start first looking in pakistan. runways large enough, over 7500 feet and have a large hangar. i'd look in eastern iran. but something very nefarious has happened. i could envision that terrorists could use it, fill it up with explosives, attack a u.s. aircraft carrier, put a nuclear weapon, a prototype on it. it is real. the united states. i do believe that there are terrorist connections involved with t. no one is just going to steal an airplane. you can buy them. i believe it points to the air crew because it was a very skilled person in there that knew the sequence of which
5:34 am
systems to turn down and what they were doing. they had a satellite phone on it, so they could actually be talking to wherever they were going to be landing and we wouldn't have known that. i think they probably examined which airlines had the least restrictive measures, et cetera, and which was the best set-up. again, i don't have that answer, but i think it may lead into that direction. >> frightening stuff there, chris. do you gather the sense that washington is getting the answers they need from the malaysian government? >> well, i'm not sure the malaysian government has the answers to give anybody. i find that astonishing what we just heard. tom is a very solid guy and for him to propose an idea that this plane didn't crash at all and, in fact, is hiding somewhere and to be used as a potential weapon, talk about something that sounds like it's out of a television mini series. i'm not saying that he's wrong. i'm just saying this shows how extraordinary this story is. we're going to be talking on
5:35 am
sunday to, if anybody knows what the latest intel is, it will be mike mccall, chairman of house homeland security and he'll have the latest intel because he gets it, because obviously this could be a conceivable threat to the homeland or to american interest somewhere. we'll talk to him. and also talk to a former top official at ntsb about still the possibility, which i think is still out there, that this plane crashed. >> certainly. we've all felt unsettled since that assessment by the general, based on a ton of experience there. so we're going to keep our eyes on that. from this potential disas tore one on the homefront here, i'm talking about obamacare, shifting gears. what's going on here with all the information coming in, that they're now padding enrollment numbers? >> well, the numbers have always been kind of a game here it seems where the administration doesn't have numbers when the numbers turn out to be bad and when they do turn out to be good and it appeared in february that
5:36 am
enrollments were spiking, that suddenly, boy, they had them all at their fingertips. yeah, they seem to have been able to use numbers or not to use numbers depending on how it suited their political purposes. >> peter do you sayies was on the case. there was e mails uncovered that was sent out and apparently said even if your eligibility determination notice asked to you provide additional information or documents to the marketplace, you should still continue to choose and enroll in a health plan. this is startling information. we know they're well short of their goal right now. but to uncover something like this and have it revealed has to be damaging. >> well, yeah. there is a lot of stuff that's damaging and we also find out that the individual mandate may be not much of a mandate because if you say you have a hardship and one of the hardships can be that you're having trouble dealing with obamacare. so suddenly the hardship is obamacare, which prevents you from getting obamacare.
5:37 am
i mean, there are all kinds of problems with this. i must say, if peter doocy is on the case, we're going to get to the bottom of this. >> peter doocy is still on vacation, so he got that from health and human services yesterday and sent it out. >> wait, wait, wait. you're telling me that peter doocy was on vacation and still broke a big story? >> it's true. >> remarkable. >> and last night he won at but that's completely unrelatessed. before go you go, you said mike mccall, the guy from intel is going to be on your program on sunday. also you got a former managing director of the ntsb. so it sounds like you're going to be all over this missing plane. >> we're also going to be talking on our watch on sunday morning, crimea, will be holding that referendum. there you see mike mccall and peter gold. they'll be holding that referendum in crimea on whether to split off from ukraine and become part of russia. you'll see a real stiff set of
5:38 am
sanctions. we'll talk to the chairman, bob menendez, and the top republican, bob corker. so a lot of things happening on our watch and who knows? peter doocy could be breaking more stories. >> absolutely. >> he may be saying, look, forget the suntan. i've got to break another story on fox. >> i'm going to crimea. >> exactly. i hope he doesn't do that. is he on vacation in crimea? >> no, he's not. he's in georgia. >> beautiful there this time of year, in crimea. >> georgia, united states or georgia, russia? >> he's down at sea island living it up. chris, thank you very much. have a great weekend. we'll be watching you sunday. >> see you sunday. >> let's check this with heather nauert for a look at the rest of the headlines. >> got some news to bring you. the former police captain has accused of killing a man for texting during a movie was also texting. a few minutes before the shooting, 71-year-old curtis
