you think you've seen it all when it comes to cool pet products. forget it. the coolest new gadgets for man's best friend on "fox & friends" weekend. >> you're going to have some for baxter? >> yeah, man. >> have a great weekend. we'll see you back here monday. bill: good morning. we are going to start with a fox news alert. there are new reports the disappearance of flight 370 was no accident. investigators say the communications systems were shut down separately just before the plane took a turn to the west. there is a lot we still don't know. martha, good morning. martha: i'm martha maccallum live in washington this morning. so as this mystery deepens, the search is now shifting. the uss kid, full speed ahead

after data received from the plane shows it flew intwact those passengers all aboard for hours after its last contact. catherine herridge live in washington with more. what do we know independently in this investigation? >> reporter: a source familiar with the investigation but not authorized to speak on the record told fox news flight 370 continued to send periodic pushes of data apartment transponder went dark, strongly suggesting the jet did continue to fly for some time. there is a maintenance system known as acar. boeing provide a soas management system. they could not discuss figures

about the periodic pushes of data. they said it went beyond the standard maintenance information. the transponder went dark as a second data system on that flight. but what is not unby investigators is whether this was a deliberate act or the result of a cascading electrical failure. the malaysian authorities are the only people in charge of this at this point. what are they saying about this new information? >> reporter: the malaysian authorities are not commenting on the signals data except to say it's been shared with up s. investigators. this is a case where u.s. investigators are taking a supporting role. with no designated crash site no one country has been designated in the search. the search is expanding further

west. this morning a spokesman for the airlines seemed to down play the likelihood the plane will be found in this region. >> that part of the geography, the likelihood of the aircraft being there is probably very * low. >> reporter: the uss kidd is being redirected to the indian ocean. vietnam which has been heavily involved in the search has significantly downgraded the hunt in the south china sea to regular from an emergency status, martha. >> we want to take our viewers through what we think we know and the possibilities for where this plane and 239 people might be. 15 hours from now we'll reach the one week mark. we'll put the animation in

motion where the flight originated in lu in kuala lumpu. about 1:30 in the morning. then another thing was picked up west of the malai peninsula. we got word the u.s. navy would start helping search in the indian ocean left the west of the malai peninsula. the uss kidd is searching in this area. the uss kidd which will be positioned. we'll get get to that in a moment. see the size of this area here? it's enormous. if you were to take the continental united states, six times that size. this is the area they are look at. the uss kidd which will be

positioned at the northern west portion of the malacca strait. this is where we thought we were looking, south china sea, gulf of thailand. now we are adding to this on behalf of the u.s. navy and the indian government, the indian ocean. the uss kidd will be positioned right about here or thereabouts in the northwestern part of the strait of malacca. malaysia to the east, indonesia to the west and singapore. you see this area. if this "wall street journal" reporting is correct's enormous. that's 2,500 nautical miles this plane could have flown after 4 or 5 hours after the last contact after that transponder went dead. some great guests coming up in 30 minutes.

marion sciaba is centered on what we know and not what we think we know. martha: all right, bill, thank you so much. a blown tire called an aborted the takeoff at philadelphia international airport. the us airways plane was taking off when its nose gear failed. it was airborne only briefly. the pilot then brought it back down. nearly 200 passengers were terrified. as the plane skidded count runway on its -- skidded down the runway on its nose, listen to this. >> the plane is on fire, oh, my god. oh, my god.

oh, my god. my plane. my plane just crashed. martha: you can hear the screams in the back of that. what happened here? >> reporter: i have chills just listening to that. those passengers were smart to head for the hills and run because that flight was on fire. the u.s. airways 1702 pass he evers were heading to fort lauderdale. they saw the smoke, they smelled the stench of burning tires and they were bounced all over the place. and that was just minutes after takeoff. then the flight crew yelled evacuate. > >> we removed the passengerred into the field where we used our police vehicles, our fire department vehicles and the airport vehicles to surround the

group, basically corral the passengers to protect them from the wind. >> reporter: the airbus a23 jet, the two of passengers did request medical attention, but amazingly no serious injuries were reported. martha: where is the plane now? >> reporter: it's been removed from the runway. of course the ntsb comes in. they will look at what caused the pilot to abort that takeoff. here is how one witness described it. >> we were up on the taxiway and the guy next to me said there is a plane crashing. we looked out the window. the noles of the plane was up. there were sparks or fire coming. so we tried to look as much as we could. the plane seeped to veer off on to the grass. the guy next to me thought it had rolled off.

and then it carried on going big cloud of smoke. >> reporter: the passengers then board another flight at 2:00 a.m. i think i would have been with this other group who were so shaken by the incident. they played it safe and overnight philly. they will get to their destination today, martha. bill, back to you. bill: president obama getting ready to use that pen and phone, this time on immigration. the president is directing his homeland security chief to review america's deportation program. that meetin -- that after a meeg with the hispanic caucus. martha: david jolly of florida sworn in by speaker john boehner

is the very worst job i have ever had and it occupies up to 65% of my time. i had no idea how stifling it would be. >> reporter: strong stuff. bill: ori is the office of the research integrity. reporter: he overseas the integrity of research done within the department of health and human services. this is the first look inside from the inside of the chaos of obamacare. david wright was deeply embedded in the bureaucracy of health and human services. it's devastating what he's saying about the bureaucracy that's running the system. bill: he tried to get cassette tapes converted to cds. $35. he he a local university did it for free in 20 minutes.

>> reporter: 16 month he spent trying to fill one vacancy. he was told there was a secret priority list of people who would do it. he said government is a remarkably dysfunctional bureaucracy. he says he was offended as an american taxpayer. bill: i think that job is still unfilled. bill: what's a secret priority list? >> apparently there is an appointee they had in mind and david wright's suggestions go by the board. it many a three-page letter. he write i'm offended as an american taxpayer that the federal bureaucracy, at least the part i labored in, is so profoundly dysfunctional. i'm saddened by the fact there is so little discussion much

less outrage regarding the problem. >> reporter: why did we ever think a huge dysfunctional government bureaucracy could run the healthcare system. this guy is saying it can't. bill: it's 18%? >> reporter: 15% of the comep and it's growing. he kept a daily log of evening he did for the two years he did while he was in the job. he he he's going to publish the log. bill: we don't have the log now. one assumes more information like the cassettes cop out. how did he spend his time? doing what? could he get anything done in two years? i suspect from his letter he could not get anything done. we'll find out. bill: he's the director of a government office that monitors scientific misconduct in bio

martha: i can't believe you gave away my secret. bill, thank you very much. nancy pelosi offering advice to her democratic colleagues saying democrats should not shy away from the issue of obamacare. she is criticizing what she says is the republican strategy. listen. >> i think the republicans are wasting their time using that as their electoral issue and they will find that out. martha: chris stirewalt, good to see you here in washington. thank you, it's very nice to be here. so i want to play one of the pieces of sound. >> there are some thing that need to be fixed.

let's do that. that's the message of our members. martha: she speaks for the party in a large way. she he this is our story and we are sticking with it. >> part of what she he is credible. the part that she says that is credit kibble, democrats shouldn't run away. you shouldn't run away. it's everywhere, it's all around you. offering a fix may not work for every democrat. but it's the best bad option. the other part that it's not going to hurt democrats and republicans are wasting their time, that is almost time for vice president biden and the st. patrick's day celebration will say it's mostly malarkey. it's stuff you say. she is not going to say we are probably toast. she is going to say something. but the special election in florida this week tells us.

martha: she is discounting florida. she says there was not a lot of turnout. florida is not going to set the tone for what we are going to see. you have to wonder strategically. should you listen to what she is saying or go out there and say it's a mess. we made a mistake and we are going try to fix it because some people are being helped. >> how many times does the president get to keep democrats from bolting away. we saw the if you like it you can keep it pledge blew up in his face. then democrats started to run away. then they said we'll fix the white house, it will be okay. an election an environment worse than 2010 for democrats, how long can the democratic establishment keep anxious members in the fold? they can say it went too far or

they can say it didn't know far enough. and they can start attacking the law themselves and try to save themselves. >> it successes all the oxygen out of the room. it's the center of every discussion they will have out there. and it is the reason why many what say that you are hearing so much talk about raising the minimum wage, the overtime issue, trying to blunt some new messages into that mix. >> talk about the war on women. if we see today i think it was reported in the daily caller about a study that said four out of five employers said they plan to be unhelpful to their workers when it comes to healthcare because of obamacare. that we'll see deductibles go up. we'll see disruptions in coverage. this is 85% of americans who are already covered. the vast majority of them get their insurance through their employers. as we are getting into this election year.

mom is out there -- if a mom opens up a letter from work and says your out of pocket is going up on your health insurance the rest of that stuff falls by the wayside. martha: the white house says they will ride it out and they think those people will end up better off ultimately. bill: a new day brings new speculation. what happened to that missing plane. was there a problem onboard. were passengers on board the problem or a pilot or copilot the problem? we don't know. but an aviation expert who has extensive experience with this plane will join us with her take on that. president obama using his pen to order an expansion of overtime pay. this is a huge issue for companies across this country. critics say it is the last thing a stalling economy needs. >> the president's policies are making it difficult for

the plane's black boxes have 29 days of battery life and we are watching that that will leave 22 days left based on the manufacturing for that. also break this morning. watch this story today and over the weekend. we are awaiting a news conference with secretary of state john kerry. he's meeting with his kution counter part sergey lavrov. the up s. told russia the referendum is not legal. the president said there would be very serious consequences for moscow if it continues on its current path. we shall see on that. >> i'm directing my secretary of labor to restore the common

sense principle behind overtime. if you go above and beyond to help your employer and the economy to succeed, you should share a little bit in that success. martha: the president expanding rules on overtime. many businesses are not required to pay overtime top salaried workers if they make over $455 a week. critics say that that move will squeeze bizs and end up hurting the economy. they call this another example of the president's executive overreach. let's see what these folks think about it. you guys don't just live in little boxes. they walked right in here. freight to see you both. juan, what do you think about it? >> it's obviously politics for the mid-term. this fits in with the president's effort to raise the

minimum wage that stalled in the congress. but this sends a message to the american people that he's concerned about the stress on the middle class and he's trying to help them out. he says it's obviously good news for workers. people who make $425, the white collar exemption is punitive which is why they don't get time and a half when they are doing overtime. is it going to force employers to have a negative reaction and start firing people in they may hire more people if they decide they don't want to pay the overtime and they will need more workers. >> it's classic obama where he announces the initiative and doesn't have a lot of details about it and businesses are going, wait? what are we supposed to do? when you announce one of these things you can't just magically say people's wages will be hire and it doesn't have effects in other places.

they will say what we'll probably do is make these salaried workers hourly workers. everybody is suffering right now including these small business owners and franchises that own restaurants that employ folks like this. so i think what you might end up with is people getting fewer hours and less take home pay in some instances and a few other people getting hired on the margins. but these things come with real consequences. martha: if you are a small business and you have five people that fall into the manager category, they will say we'll have 3 people. their pot is not necessarily growing. it's a blatant attempt at wealth redistribution. he talked about it in the initial statement. these companies made a lot of money and they are not passing it along. they are instructing businesses how they should be distributing

their money. >> american corporations are very profitable and sitting on a lot of cash. the question is can you force their hand with people who have been insecure. saying i don't want to add extra workers. i'll take advantage of this white collar exemption as it exists on the book. the white house -- mary katharine is right. it will have consequences. the white house says they will consult with both employer and workers to see for the small business owner what the impact would be. but we are also talking about big corporations, big corporations often have small outlets and hire people like this. they have a lot of money. let am not pretend they are hurting. martha: small businesses are the majority of the economy. that's where most of these conversations will be had. their scale is so different. here is a quick sound bite from john boehner.

>> if you don't have a job you are not qualified for overtime. >> i think one of the things this is a concession of, the minimum wage fight, my policies before now have not resulted in prosperity, have not resulted in wages going up. median income is going down. job participation is down. to might many an effort to fill on the margins when the larger plan has not worked. pushing people one way or the other. when the pie is not getting bigger you are taking chunks and passing it around. martha: i wonder what it does to the work ethic. to the folks who say i'll get a promotion. i'm going to go in early and stay late. i'm going to stand out. it's a disincentive to stand out. if you are someone who says i want 0 show up early and work late and prove to my boss that i'm the one that should be

pushed to that hire salary job. do we turn into a nation of punch-in, punch-out mentality. >> i guess i have a different perspective. there are lots of americans who are very hard working, working two or three jobs glad to stay and work hard. but they haven't been fairly compensated because of this white collar exemption employers take advantage of. but it's punitive in terms of people who are hard working. they say why don't i get a fair pay if i'm working overtime. martha: some people would say if that's an incentive than companies who do pay more should be able to draw workers away. >> one quick point. the american people when you look at the polls. they fave a minimum wage

increase. i suspect they will think if someone is working hard trying to stand out they should be fairly compensated. >> when you look at the studies on the minimum wage hike, you are losing jobs because of that in many instances. there are costs to pay. ironically the president is saying we want to make work pay. but the poll $is are diseven sentivizing. >> good to see you both. bill? bill: concerns about the chinese economy sent stock south at the close. down well over 230 points. today so far we are relatively flat. keep an eye on the markets throughout the day here and see if we end up on a good note on a friday. martha: what happened to malaysia airline 370.

investigators considering the possibility that someone shut down the plane's communications equipment in two different moves. it's an unbelievable story. we'll explore that scenario. bill: a wild carjacking and a police chase. what went through the mind of the driver as she was dragged out of her own car. >> i realized he is jumping into my car and he will take off. captain obvious: i'm in a hotel. and a hotel is the perfect place to talk to you about hotels. all-you-can-eat is a hotel policy that allows you to eat all that you can.

the hotel gym is short for gymnasium. the hotel pool is usually filled with water. and the best dot com for booking hotels, is hotels.com. it's on the internet, but you probably knew that. or maybe not, i don't really know you. bellman: welcome back, captain obvious. captain obvious: yes i am. all those words are spelled correctly.

martha: an update on a story we brought you yesterday on the three carjackings and police chase in colorado. one of the carjacking victims reacting after she fought the suspect to try to save her car. >> i took my eyes off the car behind me. that's when it hit me. and the next thing i realize he's right there. i realized the he's going to jump into my car and take off. i don't know why, i tried to

grab back on. martha: she added that suspect is lucky no one died from the incident and he should be put away forever. bill: the 777 wing spanning, tail height 60 feet in the air. it's huge. it's two rolls-royce engines, cruising speed 35,000 feet and it carries 31,000 gallons of fuel. marchy, we have been waiting to talk to you all week. put it together as best you can. you rely on numbers and on facts. based on the few facts that we have, what do you come up with? >> you are right, i have always been a statistics person. we have 6 data points.

we have the point where the plane turned. it could be turning back because it had a mechanical problem and at that point the plane stopped transmitting. people are saying it was turned off. we don't know that. it could have had a catastrophic power failure or rapid decompression which is what i think. the we have four more data points. but the plane does that itself. the plane sends out messages. it takes its own temperature saying this is okay, this is not okay. we only extra data points. it's here, it's here, it's here. because malaysia didn't subscribe to this service. it turned, it stopped transmitting. we have no evidence anybody turned it off. we have four data point so they are searching where the plane

would be if it followed those data points. bill: do we know it turned for sure. >> the plane would have had to turn to match up these data points. bill: let me stop you there. this what is you are talking about. 1:07 a.m. the data reporting is shut down. at 1:20 the transponder is turned off. on the triple 777 you have two transponders. that transponder is right between -- it's right between the two gentlemen. it's within arm's reach. the reason why the triple 777 has two is part of redundancy factor boeing built into the plane. if one fails you use the second one. based on this what would you add? >> if they fail or they are turned off you have redundancies, but if something takes out the plane. if you have a problem where you

had catastrophic damage to the plane, they are both going to go out. it's likely they have the wiring, et cetera is all in the same area. there is not going to be an answer to this question as to whether they were destroyed, damaged and went down or they were turned off until we get the come mitt voice recorder and flight data recorders. that's the data we have got to have. bill: you need physical evidence. >> i need evidence. i don't like speculating. bill: you say there is no evidence of terrorism yet. >> not yet. bill: there are four cases where the ntsb accused the pilot of something nefarious when it turned out to not be the case. >> i don't want to say the ntsb was evil. they just didn't have anything else to go on, they say it must be pilot error. in the u.s. air flight they said the pilot must have had

seizures. it was dirty hydraulic fluid. had they not found that answer 737s would be in jeopardy. it's often not the pilot. bill: i want to bring in mike baker a former cia operative to talk about the possibility we were just talking about with mary. tom ma mci nerks rny said if you are a terrorist you don't need to steal a plane, you can buy a plane. >> ever since this kicked off we had catastrophic mechanical failure and terrorism or pilot action. we don't know and so all you can do, you have to be careful in these situations not to disappear down some rabbit hole.

everybody wants it wrapped up like an episode of "lost." people involved in the investigation, both the search and the ages that may be related to terrorism. you are look at every single piece of luggage put in the hold. you are doing the things you can do. it's enormously frustrating. but until you get some wreckage and physical evidence, everything is speculation. bill: what's interests being that is mary is saying there is no evidence about terrorism. i think would you agree with that. but as an investigator, a former cia guy, you would never cross that off. >> you have to leave everything on the table at this point. including wild scenarios, it was flown and landed on one of the island. but you can't take those things off the table. but at the same time all you can do is what's available at this point.

the search operation going on. to try to figure out who was on the plane and what was on the plane. looking at the data you have available from the airplane itself. bill: mary i have got time for one last comment from you based on our conversation. what are you waiting to hear ans this weekend. >> that we have a piece of wreckage. because then we can plot where the black boxes will be. the first thing they will know is whether there was an explosion. and any kind of foreign material on that plane that cause candidate it to go down. but the wreckage will lead us to the black boxes because we don't require the downloading of the black box in flight. bill: here is martha in washington. martha: it's like annie oakley said, anything you can do, i can do better.

now the pentagon will have to put that notion to the test with its own battle of the sexes. more on that next.

martha: military researchers putting members through a series of drills to see which troops are fit for combat regardless of their gender. big story. >> reporter: the army has been want to go create an objective way of determining whether soldiers are physically fit for combat duty. dozens of male and female soldiers volunteered for some rigorous tests. these fort stuart soldiers, men and women are simulating combat

duties to help researchers and commanders create physical standard for future recruits. >> we look at cognitive capabilities, language, et cetera *. we don't have the analogy test for physical. the pentagon ordered the army to integrate women into combat roles. unlike traditional fitness tests, these tests are related to actual battlefield duty. >> reporter: the effort is about matching skill sets and attributes to the right job. this test simulates rescuing a recruit pulling a 100-pound bag out of the turret.

oh, that's tough. i have renews appreciation for america's men and women in uniform. i was a little winded there. but the bottom line of this study is to make sure the right soldiers are matched with the right jobs. martha: well done, jonathon. bill? bill: we are moments away from an update from secretary kerry after meeting with his russian counterpart. there is a vote schedules for sunday as russia amasses troops on the ukraine border. can the vote still work or has putin already won? ame. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha!

the search for the missing for the missing malaysian flight is shifting west after appearing

to have flown for hours after the radar lost track. they are expanding to 36,000 square miles and that looks like six times the map of the united states. investigators are looking into weather the jet's communication were cut off to avoid ide identification. we have the pilot from the hero on hudson and ask him what he thinks happened to the plane and the 239 people on it. and we are waiting for remarks from secretary after a meet with russia and his last push to not move forward with moving into the crimea.

i am martha maccallum. >> and i will bill hemmer in new york. two days from now citizens vote on whether to break away from ukraine and become part of russia. have a listen: >> we are looking for an answer whether russians want war. >> i will respond directly to the question: russia doesn't want war, nor do the russians and i am convinced ukraine doesn't want to see this. >> brett bear is here. welcome. russia doesn't want war, do they think they would have to have war to get what they want? >> putin is building up people and material and all of the build up in the crimea, there is

nothing to indicate he is taking the warnings seriously. so whatever is said after the meeting with yanukovych, it will be interesting. >> secretary kerry has to be careful here. if he puts down an ultimatum that is stepped over again, you can add it to the red line >> it is interesting how much othe story isn't the top story. the plane is generating the oxygen in the news. but on capital hill, there is a sense this story is at the back of the pages. when you think of a country invade another and reworking the

lines. >> you think about the invasion into the iraq and that became the top story covered at the time. and we have heard so little from the president on this and that is one of the reasons perhaps feels like putin wanted to crimea and took it. the astonia leader says he believes putin is preparing to take the rest of ukraine. the world will react differently to that. i can see the markets are jittery for a number of reasons. but yesterday it was said it was due to the ukraine issue. if you are a country along the board of ukraine, you are worried about the action in crimea and throughout eastern ukraine >> what is the indication how

well the secretary has been able to rally the rest of the eu? >> i don't think we have a full sense of how unified they are yet. maybe we'll today. the targeted freezing of accoun accoun accounts, the people that are tied to vladimer putin would be affected by that. >> good to see you and look forward to seeing you tonight. why is ukraine so important? 45 million population, one of the biggest countries, vital gas pi pipelines. and the eu gets a quarter of their gas from russia.

and a deadly bombing in pakistan with ten people dead and dozens more injured. it was planted into rickshaw and went off as a bus drive by. president obama ordering a review of the deportitation procedure. he said when it comes to deporting illegles he has stretched his powers to the max. what now? doug is here and governor -- good morning -- doug. >> the president was stopped last here and said you have the power to stop the deporting and

he said that is not true. the president is coming under pressure to stop deporting immigrants. he met with the members of the congressional hispanic groups and they were represents there, the representative from illinois came away with this remark, quote, this began a new talk about a subject that was dormant. they were adament the president needs to act. boehner said immigration isn't off the table. >> i think immigration is important and ought to be dealt with. replacing obamacare is something we have an intent to do.

and doing a budget. so we have a lot of work to do. >> but many other republicans have been pushing for stronger boarder security before they can entertain immigration reform ideas. the whitehouse says they have been very strong when it comes to boarder enforcement saying there have been more illegals departed under this administration than any other. >> it raises questions on if the immigration reform will happen this year. >> the whitehouse is very hopeful it will. they said look for the president to push this and sheer carney saying this is going to happen: >> we remain hopeful the house

will follow the bipartisan action by the senate and address the challenge posed by our broken immigration system through passage of an immigration reform bill that meets the priorties set by the president. >> but the republicans see taking the senate and house if they focus on the weak economy and obamacare. and they pointed to the jolly election as evidence this can happen. >> north lawn at the whitehouse. as of march of 2012, 11.7 million were living illegally

and 419 thousand deported. we are hearing from the family of some of the people injured in the south by southwest music festival. a drunk driver plowed into a crowd on the austin, texas street corner. a teenage couple, high school sweethearts, are among those injured >> leg broke. can't move her left arm. she is having trouble with it. but she is talking >> he is not responsive but they say as long as he stays at the condition he is, he is going to recover. >> glad my niece is talking and alert. >> two people were killed in the crash. the suspect is facing numerous charges including murder. and now on the to the latest in

the hunt for the missing malaysian jetliners. investigators are looking into whether the plane's communications were deliberately in two stages cut off and what that means for the 239 people on board. >> what a mystery. and carl rove is here with a word of caution to his republican colleagues who are getting confidant after the election in florida. rove is saying not too fast. >> and we will show you the amazing rocket that lands on two feet! carl rokarl rolve

a deadly confronitatitation

inside a texas home after a father shot and killed a 17-year-old boy found inside his daughter's bedroom. he opened fire after seeing the boy reach for something. not clear what, if any charges, could be filled. and investigators now reportedly looking into whether the malaysian airliner was cut off an purpose. >> most people think the earth is surrounded by a radar net, if you will. but it isn't. there are huge empty gaps. when you get into the area they are talking about, way out in the indian ocean, there are not too many jet routes. so the chance of putting an

airplane down out there and have it disappear is pretty good >> i have jeff styles, the co-pilot of the manhattan flight that dipped into the river and saved everybody on board. congrats on your landing there. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is your theory on what happened? >> the information we have had so far is so incomplete that really any option is still open. everything is still on the table. that is the amazing thing. after a week, we are no closer to finding what the solution or cause of the accident could be. >> what do you make of this new information that the

transpondsers were shut off in two different stations. would that me manual or could that could a result of computer malfunctioning? >> i heard a data transmission happening at 7 minutes passed the hour and the responder returned after 21 minutes. data transmission could be normal procedure. when the aircrafts reach the top top climb, they will send a data transmission about an inch in parameters and used by the maintenance department of airlines to monitor the aircraft they oversee. as far as the transponder being

turned off, there are two on board as has been discussed as length, with different aircraft types, they operate independently. you only operate one at a time and the other one would have to be switched on. so as a pilot you would not know if your transponder fail until your air traffic controller reported that to you and then you would swap to the other transponder. over vast oceans like in the south pacific, there is plenty of space where there is no radar return for air craft so the loss of the signal isn't too odd. >> there cabin pressure may have dropped and there could have

been a catastrophic event. similar to the pane stuart flight where the plane continued to fly after the pressure fell. does that make sense to you in this situation? >> that was an unfortunate circumstances when that happened. but an airliner has warning horns when the pressure is above 10,000 feet. and a flight crew couldn't miss that. we have quick dawning oxygen masks that are much more sophisticated than what pops out in the back of the airplane you might have seen in the movies. so without that to happen without the flight crews knowledge, i think would be

difficult. but any possibility is still on the table. >> yeah, you know, a lot of people have been tweeting us and sending us emails and asking about cellphone transmission or why someone couldn't fire off a warning message. would that be impossible to get cellphone transmission out? >> it would have been impossible. you are many miles from shore in the ocean. and cellphones don't work above 5,000 feet. even in the united states. because they are so many towers that the cellphone with reach, it just shutdowns completely. so even if you carried a cellphone into the air, it will not operate at the altitude the airplane was at that time.

>> nice talking to you. we hope we get closer in this ster story one state passing a will that will require drug testing people on welfare. democrats are against it and we will debate that. the whitehouse saying businesses should give out overtime but what does that do do the businesses and employment? >> the president is a man who looks at the world through the lens of what should be. so the unintended consequences of his economic policy has held back the american economy. is this the bacon and cheese diet? this is the creamy chicken corn chowder. i mean, look at it. so indulgent. did i tell you i am on the...

police photographs of oscar pistorius taken after shooting and killing reeva steenkamp. it is showing him standing on his blood-stained legs and wearing shorts that are covered in blood. it is stunning and awful. this trial is in its second week. it has been dramatic day-by-day. oscar pistorius says he mistook her for an intruder but the prosecution is saying he killed her on purpose after a fight. >> president obama ordering new rules on overtime making many more employees eligible to earn time and a half. bill o'reilly took this on last night: >> right now american companies are not required to pay overtime if a worker on vale salary makes

more than $24,000 a year. it could raise up to $50,000. if you are earning less than $50 k your employer has to pay you overtime if you work more than 40 hours. it could lift way for 5 million workers a week and mitigate the income inequality that playing the american economy. that is not true. as the "wall street journal" is reporting it will be a cutback of hours and jobs. they can hire fewer employees, work less hour, or past the price on to the consumers.

so in theory he is helping them, but maybe hurting them. talking points is supports a rise in the minimum of wage. if we want them off welfare, we pay them $10. that is good incentives. but the president is trying manage the private economy. the economy is stuck. corporations are not hiring. corporations are hoarding money overse overseer to avoid taxes. and consumers have less money to spend. but the president looks at the lens through world of what should be. and so the unintended consequences of his economic policies have held the american economy back big time. talking points, wants americans to make as much money as

possible and the way to do that is with the private sector. salaries rise because there is competition. that is you how overcome income inequality. >> we heard from experts that something like this will not take place until later in the here. but that is the memo. >> it is difficult to manipulate salaries. companies will find other ways to continue to keep things in a way that benefits them. so this is a really tough issue. coming up right here, stunning new claims about princess diana. what a former british newspaper is saying about her handing over a lot of information during her nasty separation from prince charles. plus this: >> my 9-year-old niece knows the

rollout was bad. then they worked on let's fix what is broken and keep what is working, no substance behind that, just rhetoric. >> anger over obamacare help to lead to a big in for be republicans in florida, but karl rove says don't pop the campagna yet. why he is warning that he thinks they should not be too confident about the midterm.

>> as you know, the secretary of state is in london flight

meeting with the foreign minister from russia. we were expecting he would have a news conference or tell us how it is going, which is obviously tricky, they are about 31 minutes late. as soon as john kerry steps out to the podium, we will go live. we were elected to fight for the communities and the convictions for the causes we believe in. but it is fight for the country, but against each other, and i know that. >> that is from washington yesterday. what did the republicans and democrats learn this week? david jolly speaking after his swearing in in washington. a huge victory for the gop in a district that the president carried twice. but karl rove is warning that republicans can't afford to get

overcon over-c over-c over-confidant. the word was don't uncork the champag champagne. >> republicans can take a good deal away from this election. but they better pay attention to the detail. jolly very wisely understood bashing obamacare would only get him so far. to get the independents, he said he wants to replace it. he said we need private market solutions to resolve the problem. people ought to be able to buy health insurance and save more for out-of-pocket medical expenses and we ought to have portable insurance. and by making the issue of con

changes we won. also, do you want to send someone who keeps balance and check for the president or someone who stand ups against him. he made it clear he was going to wash to -- washington -- to make it work. he had to say i am going to do what i think is right and that might mean supporting the president sometimes and not sometimes. >> only if they apply the other lessons, can they turn the midterm into a great one. jolly said it isn't a fight against each.

match that up. >> he is talking about why goes to congress. he had a positive vision of more energy for america and tackling the deficit problem. and take her on on her character and record. she had been the chief financial officer of florida and saw the meltdown in the pension that was bigger than other states. she was the president of nations bank and got $8 million in bonuses. so he countered punches and said you cannot lecture me. take a look at your own record. it was a strong campaign. he was outspent by the democrats. she was out spending him 2-1 and 4-1 on television. >> 35,000 feet. scott walker on what this means to him:

>> this is a big deal. for anybody who thought obamacare wasn't going to be front and center in the 2014 election, this election shows that is exactly what the election is about. and the failure of big governments. >> the government being too big has been being talked about and he is mentioning regulations and taxes. did jolly argue that? >> sure, he did. >> you as an advisor and strategist will take this all over. >> that is my plan. to say the argument was obamacare, amend it, and fix it. and he had the right message to say he is going to do it. and sink, had no concrete ideas.

but he had plenty. >> we didn't mention the fact president obama isn't on the ballot. this district goes back to republicans 50 hands. >> a republican congressman held it for 42 years. but they have been moving against the republicans. obamacare was discussed every single day of the campaign and the president's actions were discussed >> you have been obsessed with turnouts because the republicans got whipped in 2008 and 2012 and a lot of people didn't expect that. is the ground game better now? >> absolutely better. and there was great focus. the republican party in florida, and republican party locally and the committee and jolly did the

volunteer things. and american crossroads did the expensive mechanical things like sending the absentee ballot and getting out the phone calls. and the campaign and party can then put their resources into intensive activities that require support staff and work with local parties >> you think you caught democrats on that? >> 52, 000 showed up at the polls. >> have a good weekend. karl rove! shocking claims about princess diana.

a former british person is saying he provided her with phone numbers on editors. he said the late princess gi give -- who gave her the phone numbers -- during her divorce from charles. and an inside look at the federal government from a top official who quit his job with the health and human service department. a pirate ship pulled from its watry grave. look at that!

a house collapsing and the wall hit a home next door. it was empty at the time and no one injured. a car parked between the homes is said to be damaged. that is oakland, california. a dysfunctional federal government: one of the claims from a man inside the walls of washington. david wright just quit his job with the health and human services. he wrote most of his time was spent trying to get stuff down and the run away groups made it the worst job he had. ebony williams and here and anlisa crouch is here. good to have you, ladies.

stunning claims, or maybe not so stunning. he tried to get something converted from videos to dvd's and that took months and months to get the approval. a school did it in 20 minutes for me. he tried to fill a vacancy and that became an issue. what do you think? >> i am not shocked by this. this is troublesome as you are talking about the multi-million budget going on with agencies we entrust to be efficient. and maybe if more people spoke out against this stuff, he is going to release logs and journals that document the delays.

if people talk about this more, maybe people will come out and help more >> let's look at another statement from his letter of resigning. he said i was advised if i wanted to be happy in government service, i had to quote lower my expectations. what do you think? >> we should not be surprised. the government can't run like a private business because there is no profit and there is no throu true accouaccountability. kathleen sebelius is still there. if we did your jobs like they are in the private sector we would be fired. the president promised accountability and transparency and that is one of the things this guy is pointing out: there

are neither of those at the department of health and human services. >> he felt like everybody was like be quite and keep going. we don't want to mess with the systems here. >> he said he was told your job is to make your bosses look good instead of doing the research he loved to do 35% of the time. >> people want to cut access in government and they ought to put him in the middle and ask he we can take them through and help in the speaking out. i want to get your thoughts on this. in mississippi, they have passed legislation, and it has passed in southern republican governored state, that would test people for drug use looking for welfare. if they test positive the first time, they go through abuse

counselling, a second test they lose them for 30 days and a third test is up to a year. >> i think strings should be atta attached to the temporary programs because it is weeding out these that are using them in properly and makes it sustainable for those in need. you only have to be tested if the state deems you likely to be a substance abusor. and what about the children in need who are abusing substances but that is not the fault of the child? they have to put a food bank or something so the children are getting fed despite the parent's bahaveral -- behavioral --

choices. >> what do you think about it? >> this is a temporary assistance program, but the food stamp program. the issue with this is we are supposed to be supplementing their needs, thought their drug use. but if ebony has proof they will target minorities then it unfair to see only they are drug users or using the system. >> that is the point. we don't have particular what does that look like? i don't think understand how they are going to be deciding you look like you could be using drugs. >> i think it should be universal. >> exactly. >> test every person. if you are taking my tax money i

want to know you are of moral standing. these are not just numbers. there are people involved and a lot of times there are children involved. >> good to talk to you. what if you could launch a rocket and land it on its feet? she has legs. will she work? we are about to find out.

sunken pirate ship is floating again. it is called the time bandit and

being lifted from lake bear in california. the time bandit is a smaller replica of a spanish galger. >> can you launch a rocket and lands it on its legs? the spacex falcon nine is going to show off over the weekend trying to land on its return mission from returning supplies. this is a far-out idea. corey powell is here to talk about it. i guess we will find out if this works. the big is what? >> the big idea is making space travel drasictically cheaper. a rocket is $50-$100 million in equipment, launch it, and you

are done. if you can make a reusable one, you could bring down the cost. >> and the private sector is getting more involved. that would be a giant step forward. there is a challenge. what is it? >> landing is the hardest part of the process. bringing it back down intact and undamaged so you can refurbished it, is very hard to do. >> spacex has done great work. >> they have the lowest launch cost in the industry. if they can pull it off and make a reusable rocket, they can make launching a thousand times cheaper. >> if that is the case, we will see the technology for space explode. how does spacex plan to do this? >> what you see the with legs on the rocket, that is a crucial part of technology.

but you need to be able to turn the rocket, the rocket is going up with a lot of momentum and you turn it around, land it on legs, and land it softly enough so everything is intact and you can repair and launch a few days later. >> on sunday, it will launch from florida? cape canaveral? >> no. it is launching from -- >> i have cape canaveral with 8,000 pounds of supplies. it is bringing something similar to the iss. >> this is an interesting mission. here is a rocket are legs and part of the cargo inside is a second different pair of legs. robot legs they will attach to a torso and have a walking robot on the station so it can eventually do outdoor walks. >> it will come back to earth sunday and we will find out sunday whether or not it works

>> right. this is a test mission. they will go up and bring it down and bring it down over water. it will probably crash land. they are not planning on this to be successful. it is to prove they can deploy the legs. spacex has been methodical. first test, now test over water, and then a test over land. they are thinking this through and that is what making me have confidence. i think they can do it. and the american space industry is going to be the leader in the world if they can. >> thank you, cory. enjoy the weekend. cool stuff. the mystery surrounding this missing plane is growing. and search is covering tens of thousands of square miles now. a new look at the reports raising concerns it may have been no accident. been no accident. the rhythm of life.
