give you an e. for effort. see you on the 5. have a great weekend, everybody. hello, everybody. this fox unews alert. it's one a week since the world learned malaysian airline 777, with people onboard. its last signal was 7 1/2 hours after takeoff. the focus is shifting to the flight crew and passengers with investigators now indicating this airliner may have been hijacked. we have the very latest on the search for answers into a deepening mystery. also at this hour, a developing story as we learn that the u.s. is giving up its controls over internet administration. giving into critics who say the

present system lets the u.s. have too much influence. we'll explain. and tension and violence building in ukraine on the eve of crimea's big referendum election which will let voters decide whether they want to see this region annexed by russia. we'll talk with the former president of georgia who was in power when russia's vladimir putin invaded his country. you'll hear why he says putin's agenda is similar to what he calls pre-war germany. but first, let's get the latest on the search for malaysia flight 370. at this hour, searchers exploring two possible corridors. a northern one from northern thailand through to the border of kazakhstan and turkmanistan. david is joining us now. >> reporter: how. yes, malaysian police have been searching the home of the pilot over the last few hours.

no word yet if they found anything that helps the investigation. and earlier, there was a dramatic news conference from malaysia's prime minister in which he revealed investigators believe the missing plane was deliberately diverted. he says somebody in the cockpit switched off the main tracking devices. >> we can see with a high degree of certainty that the aircraft communications addressing and reporting system was disabled. just before the aircraft reached the east coast of peninsula malaysia. >> reporter: he added shortly afterward the aircraft's transponder was switched off and confirmed the plane was tracked to the west and satellite data

indicates it could have flown for up to seven hours after they last contact with it. now, despite somebody turning off the plane's tracking system, satellite communications with the plane continued in the form of pings which showed it was still flying. those satellite communications suggest the aircraft could have gone along a northern or southern corridor. to the north, the plane could have flown as far as kazakhstan or numerous countries or to the south deep into the indian ocean and indonesia. the search for the aircraft is now being stopped in the south china sea and instead resources are moved to the indian ocean. the malaysian authorities are also asking for radar data from any countries the plane could have reached. the investigation is now focusing more on the passes jers and crew onboard and also the ground staff for the plane. and, of course, if the plane has been hijacked, it does raise the possibility that the passengers and crew could be still alive. back to you. >> david piper, thank you very much for that update. now, joining us on the phone

from hong kong, commander william marks, u.s. public affairs officer with the 7 fleet aboard the u.s.s. blue ridge taking part in the search that's under way right now in the end can ocean. welcome. great to have you here, sir. thanks for joining us. >> you're very welcome. >> what can you tell us about the latest efforts right now that are under way to find this missing jetliner? what destroyers are involved, and the latest information that you've been working with? >> so 7 fleet has a number of assets in the region. first the u.s.s. kidd kdestroye is on station in the northwest section, that's the entrance of the strait of malacca. k kidd has two mh-60 romeo search and rescue helicopters. those helicopters are flying virtually all day and have a range of a couple hundred miles and usually fly for about 3 n1/

hours each. then finally we have two very advanced fix-wing aircraft. those fly out of kuala lumpur. those bring long-range search capabilities to look into the indian ocean, leafing from kuala lumpur. their range is upwards of 1,000 miles there. one of those just arrived today is the most advanced search plane we have, really advanced plane of that nature in the world. >> when you say it's the most advanced, what are its capabilities? >> usually it will fly at an altitude of 5,000, 10,000 feet. from that altitude, it can search on either side of it, water in the 10 to 20 mile range. just to give you a sense of what that radar can find, we found a

small wood crate. it can see something on the surface of the water the stiz size of the basketball. it also has night capabilities. go ahead. >> the night capabilities are important. it might be quite challenging as well as frustrating because it's been a week since this jet has gone missing. >> it's extremely challenging and if you look at the gulf of thailand, that was a very defined search area with clearly defined borders. and it's something you can take little bits of and search that and we did. now you look west into the indian ocean. it's a complete ll lly differenl game. there are almost no boundaries there, and even our longest ranged aircraft really is only going to get halfway, three

quarters of the way out there. so a huge area. real i unprecedented in terms of searching, for the u.s. navy and, in fact, anyone. >> indeed. it's quite a task. challenging one at that. we thank you very much for joining us, commander. thank you. all the best to you and your team. >> thank you. as the mystery deepens into the disappearance of malaysia jetliner, let's bring in james calstrom, former assistant director of the fbi and the man who led the investigation into the twa flight 800 disaster in 1996. welcome, sir. great to have you here. >> nice to be with you. >> all indications point to this being a deliberate act. the u.s. authorities were finally let in to help out in this investigation. it seems after their involvement, we're getting a better sense of what we're dealing with. prior to this, the malaysian authorities didn't appear to want to be cooperative and they were holding back on information. >> well, you know, we're very

good at this, and the world takes advantage of our technology, takes advantage of our military. takes advantage of this great country we call america. it sure is looking like the plane was hijacked. either with the participation of the crew or not. and, therefore, what would the motive be? you don't hijack a plane necessarily to crash it somewhere, you know, to make a statement. i mean, i guess it could be the case as it was in 9/11, but why fly is five, six, seven hours? why not turn around and crash it in some major stay? so to go to all this preparation, you know, we have to assume that they have some kind of a plan and that plan is the use of the airplane. i can tell you right now, the fbi, the intelligence community, nsa, cia, and dwindling allies around the world are doing all kinds of things to, you know,

put the right chalk to the board on this thing. and i just mentioned here, it's part of this issue, this is why we need a very strong and capable nsa because the world today is nothing but digital signals and pings and all kinds of things like this. and the notion that so-called informed people are making about that whole nsa thing is just bogus. the nsa is not looking at any individuals' phones. they're doing things like solving these -- >> if we can focus right back on to what we're dealing with right specifically, i understand that's a very important issue as well, as far as what went on in that plane. some people may be surprised to consider that you could have a cockpit breach at this time in this post-9/11 era when major directives made it clear that the cockpit is to be protected at all times. if this was, indeed, a hijacking, something obviously went terribly wrong onboard that flight. >> well, i guess so.

and, you know, i don't know, and i don't really want to speculate. it could be the pilots. it could be the procedures weren't followed up properly. maybe the door wasn't guarded properly when one of the pilots had to go to the bathroom. i mean, who knows. but it's looking, you know, up there in the 90 percentile that this is what happened to the airplane. >> based on the information that we have been talking about in these last 24 hours, at this point, then, does it seem farfetched that this jet simply disintegrated since it appears it took a routing where it seems that it deliberately was avoiding the ground radar? >> well, you know, if a catastrophic event took place and was initiated by the hijackers, that's one thing, but the notion that it disintegrated like twa flight 800, that event was seen for literally hundreds

of miles. it was seen by numerous overhead assets of numerous governments. it left a debris field 10 miles long 12 hours later. debris was floating three days later down the cape may and up the nantucket. if that's the case, at high altitude, the fact there is no debris field and none of the technology that's so much better today than it was when twa went down, have not seen a debris field, i'd have to say it's either on land, crashed, or it landed somewhere and it's now being put to some covert use. >> well, it's very, very troubling, indeed, sir, and i know you're following this very closely as we all are. and it's a mystery that continues to captivate the world since we have so few answers. thank you so much for swroining with your insight. >> my pleasure. thank you. let's turn to someone who said before most people that he actually thought there was foul play in the disappearance of

this jetliner. tom mccanerny. thanks for joining us. you were one of the first people to come out and say you believed this situation to be a hijacking. >> that's correct. it was yesterday morning, as you know, at 6:20, and now less than 24 hours later, the prime minister admits that from many layer s malaysia that it was a hijacking. he didn't use those words. so i think we're past moving in the direction that it was a hijacking and my personal opinion, again, is i think it has terrorism connected to it. and i think that they were practicing tactics and techniques. part of this trip on how you neutralize passengers, et cetera. a very dangerous situation for worldwide aviation. >> well, you know, you and i

have discussed off camera that terrorists actually covet having an airplane or jet because it's seen as a weapon of choice because they can do many destructive things if they have a jetliner at their disposal. and since, you know, 9/11 happened 12 years ago, they've had a lot of time to think about ways to perfect their method. >> they have. and that's the worrisome thing. i think the whole world, the whole free world, should be extremely concerned about what happened here and what we need to do as a world to protect our aviation assets and find out where this airplane landed. and i still think it landed, and my primary choice is because of the range, it's pakistan or eastern iran or it could be some other place where radical islamist elements are located. >> i know that you have

information that is considered, you know, one of high security. national security. but at the same time, who is giving you the feeling that this plane could be in those parts of the world? >> well, certain conversations with people. i do believe the u.s. government knows a lot more and that they, the best leaks have come out of the u.s. government talking about the transponder and the data collection sensor being turned off, et cetera. and we also got the pings from the u.s. government leaks there. so the u.s. government, i think, is further ahead of this but trying to let the malaysian government catch up. but i'm convinced that there's a great deal of jeopardy for worldwide aviation if we don't solve this very quickly. >> and the stakes remain high, as you point out. but if this is truly what you say it is, then as you point

out, governments have to really be on high alert right now because we really don't know what we're dealing with when it comes to the folks who are involved in this. whether it's the pilots or people who are actually passengers onboard that flight. >> that's correct. and we should be looking with our satellites at any airfields, 7,500 feet or longer, that has a large hangar there. so that's extremely important for us to use our satellite collection capability and other source information to see if we can locate where that airplane landed. >> lieutenant general tom mcinerney. than we appreciate it. we've been telling you, of course, as you already know, there are so many unknowns tied to this story. what to you thido you think hap? do you believe this was a deliberate act? tweet me @umapemmaraju.

we're going to keep you updated on the developments about the missing jetliner. turning now to another big developing story. tensions building in ukraine ahead of tomorrow's vote. deciding the fate of crimea. russian and ukrainian officials are saying at least three people have been killed and many more wounded in violence between pro-russian and pro-ukrainian activists in two cities in the east. now, tomorrow, the black sea peninsula, crimea, will vote on whether to secede from ukraine and become annexed by russia. joining us now, someone who knows firsthand about the russian threat better than most. georgia's former president. thank you for joining us. >> hello. thank you for inviting me. >> it's very nice to have you here because i know you have raised so many concerns about what lies ahead for the people

of ukraine. i know you are consulting with people in ukraine about the concerns, about russia's involvement. what are your thoughts at this moment? many people are predicting that people will be voting in crimea to secede. >> i think it's not only about crimea anymore. i think russia is preparing for some kind of military enslaugt on ukraine overall. and the problem here is that, you know, it's very much a well operated operation that will result into a large scale military involvement, engagement of forces. unless something dramatic happens for the world to stop it. actually when you look at this provocation, people coming here from russia do in eastern ukraine, this very much reminds me of what was happening in georgia. we had in georgia, the -- but after that, we had lots of things connected with organizing

provocations, street clashes, violence and basically russia was all the time looking for attacks to come, even including the terrorist ata tattackattack. well documented terrorist attacks done by russian special forces and russian intelligence services. it very much reminds me of what's happening in ukraine or what was happening ga in georgia. russian parliament said they will respond to demands of russian speakers in ukraine for help. it's very much the same scenario how bigger countries invaded weaker countries in the past except that ukraine, 46 million countries, largest country in europe. and europe and the world. the largest country in europe is being sliced up. it's absolutely unprecedented situation. maybe since the end of second world war. certainly there are lots of things that stake for the world, the united states, for the whole region. don't believe those who tell you why should americans care? it's concerns. it's u.s. national interests. >> mr. president, stand by for just a moment. i'd like to bring you back on

the other side of this break. we have to take a break for a moment. we'll continue our conversation. after the break, the very latest on the story that, of course, everyone's talking about. the fate of that missing jetliner. investigators now think had its communications deliberately turned off and flew in the air for another seven hours. you'll hear from the former top tsa official, tom blank, with his insight about what he thinks happened. and six years into office, is president obama still failing major test of leadership? syria, ukraine, foreign policy missteps? and now word that his administration is giving up control of the internet. conservative commentator pat buchanan will be weighing in. stay with us.

welcome back, everybody. continuing our conversation with georgia's former president saakashvili. we're happy to have you here. i want to ask you quickly, you've said in a recent editorial that mr. putin's motivations are similar to those of pre-war germany. he wants to rectify what he sees as the unjust treatment and humiliation by western powers after the cold war. can you tell me why you feel

this way? >> well, i mean, it's very similar, a carbon copy of what happened in czechoslovakia when germany was starting. also in europe. basically they claimed they had -- they went so-called to protect them, but then european power, chamberlain, british prime minister back then said, well, czechoslovakia is far away, we shouldn't care about the quarrels between the people of whom we know so little. other places all over europe. appeasers. feed one country, a crocodile, hoping they'd be beat by the crocodile. it looks like putin is on a rampage. putin, it's about liberty. you know, you ukrainians are fighting to be part of the western world. justice for revolution.

crackdown from the government which used force against them. now if united states don't stand up for freedom now, then the core u.s. interest will be violated because, you know, these are the principles which made the western world strong. and ukrainians are going to the west for that. not just for the sake of geopolitical choice. that's exactly what vladimir putin wants to stop. that's exactly what adolf hitler wanted to stop in the 1930s. so there are lots of similar parallels. and i'm not the only one to draw them. i think we need to draw lessons from the examples of the past. i think that u.s. has been prime benefactor, law and order that has been established in europe after second world war and after the end of cold war. breakdown of that law and order will primarily harm u.s. interests and damage the cause of freedom and liberty all around the world. that's very, very dangerous. >> mr. president, thank you for your insights. this is a tough time as you watch what's taking place in

crimea. we'll check back with you. keep us posted on the developments. >> it's a very dangerous situation, today, tomorrow, the days to be come. it needs to be closely watched. it's not only about ukraine but about the world's order and freedom and democracy in the world. >> sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. the u.s. government is planning to relinquish control over the body that manages internet names and addresses, a move that's expected to bring more international cooperation over the management of the worldwide web. it's also making american businesses nervous. elizabeth is joining us now to tell us more about why it has some folks rattled. >> hi, uma. the congress department has been overseeing the internet corporation for assigned names or numbers for almost a decade. it maintains, administers domain names as well as ip addresses among other web requirements across the world. that, however, is scheduled to expire next year and it appears u.s. officials will give us its oversight roles and let the contract run out. the job may be taken on by

groups that lead private businesses as well as other interested parties, not just multiple governments. recently, however, critics have been raising concerns that other countries may try to take control. >> i think that's what i'm seeing with the internet. it's almost as if rather than admit we've made some stupid and even some unconstitutional mistakes in invasion of privacy, let's clean up our act, but let's not give away the whole process. >> democratic lawmakers such as senate commerce committee chairman jay rockefeller are praising the decision, releasing a statement, in part it reads "since 1998 the u.s. has been committed to transitioning management of the internet's domain name system to an independent entity that reflects the broad diversity of the global internet community." the announcement today is the beginning of that process. while the decision is historic, internet uses should notice really no changes if anybody at home is concerned. uma? back to you. >> thank you very much. we're going to take a quick break.

when we come back on the other side of the break, we're going to be talking with pat buchanan who's going to be weighing in on these developments regarding the internet, and more. plus, continuing coverage into the search for the missing malaysian jetliner. now the sea investigation is squarely focusing on this being a deliberate act. how would hijackers get on a plane like this? and how could this lead to tightened security for all of us when we take to the airways? a man who helped run the tsa will join us. stay tuned. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

we're going to talk to a special guest who used to run the tsa. first i want to get to pat buchanan here in our studios. he's here to weigh in on several thing, particularly the development about what's happening with the internet now in the united states giving up its power on this front. what's your reaction to this? >> it's very negative. i think you're transferring the custody of this immensely important function from the united states to an international community which is susceptible to and could cave in to pressures from places like china and others in terms of what they do. i think far better that the united states better do it, themselves. look, they made mistakes with nsa. you don't out of guilt transfer authority over something like this. i prefer my own country to have it. i'm more of a nationalist than a globalist. >> do you think this is against underscoring a weakness with this administration? and continued sort of pattern that we've been witnesses? >> i think barack obama sees

himself as much as citizen of the world as he does a citizen of the united states. and i think he has far more confidence in globalist institutions than i do or we should. and i think there's no evidence that the united states has not handled this function properly and well. and i think there's no reason why we should transfer it to some, another globalist body. >> you know, we're here talking about leadership for a moment and we were just speaking with the former president of georgia and we've got this election coming up tomorrow. despite all the tough talk from this white house, vladimir putin isn't going to do anything based on any demands from the united states at this point. >> putin is going to act out of his own national interest. >> what does this say about the way the president has responded to putin in this situation? >> well, you know, the president comes off as a fairly weak figure. there's no doubt about it. with regard to crimea and ukraine, my view is if putin

thought he had a great victory in terms of ukraine was reoriented toward russia, and all of a sudden you had a massive coup in the streets, all the folks coming out fighting with police months after months, building barricades, throwing up tires. you know, bully ragging the president. and eventually overthrowing him. and putin says, i just lost ukraine. who lost china? they're asking in russia, who lost ukraine? i think he moved defensively. he said, we can't lose, if we lost ukraine diplomatically, politically, economically, we cannot lose crimea strategically and militarily, go in and grab it. i think he's done that. i think putin has a problem here because he's alienated on a semipermanent basis a country the size of france with four times as many people as greece. that's ukraine with whom he's got historical, ethnic and cultural ties. >> when it comes to the leadership from this white

house, there's a recent "wall street journal" poll that came out talking about the president's ratings among people in terms of their expectations for his white house. really quite low. the lowest of any period to this point. >> not been a successful president. he has one great achievement, obamacare, and it's an embarrassment. we've gone through a year of seeing how badly it was done and worked up. foreign policy, he's right putting down red lines and tells countries not to cross them. he has no authority to take us to war against syria. then he has to back down. so i think, and then the economy is perking along. which we had five years of sort of mediocre growth. an awful lot of people leaving the labor force. he's not a strong leader. he's not a strong president. >> you think he doesn't hold up that mantle for exceptionalism? a lot of people say he just doesn't. >> i think barack obama clearly is not in the tradition, if you would call it, patriotic

nationalist president of whom the epitome, of course, was ronald wilson reagan. no, he doesn't. he's in a contrast. he's admitted that. he wanted to transform the nation and make it different and transform the world. i think he's being consistent with his views and values but they're out of tune with the american people. >> pat buchanan, always great to you here. thank you so much for being with us here in our studios. >> delighted. >> can't wait for your new book to come out. >> we'll be here. >> look forward to it. thanks. well, the story of the day, of course, investigators continuing the search for the missing malaysian jetliner. now they believe authorities are saying, it could be a deliberate act. the malaysian prime minister finally confirming what has been reported by other news outlets over the past 24 hours that the plane's communications system were deliberately disabled. what does this mean for the future of air tracvel when it comes to security? let's bring in tom blank, former

tsa deputy director to talk about one theory of what could have gone wrong. welcome, sir. >> nice to be with you, uma. >> as you hear the news that's been unfolding over the past 24 hours that this is now being seen as a deliberate act, that there was reason to believe that the cockpit was compromised, what are your thoughts as you think about security today here in this country versus what's happening around the world? >> well, two things. first, i'm reassured about what the u.s.s has done following 9/11 and the many steps to improve security. the creation of a specific agency to address transportation security. beginning with protocols that will protect the integrity of the cockpit at all costs. that seems to be the correct step to have taken, and so while i'm reassured about u.s. aviation security, i remain disappointed and a little

frustrate that other nations haven't recognized the u.s. gold standard and move their own standards up to it. i think that could be a factor in this particular matter. >> as you've been reviewing, the information as it has been unfolding this week, what's been the most frustrating aspect for you about this investigation and the way it's been conducted? >> well, it seems to me that it's taking a lot of time to get around to the security investigation. for instance, it's being reported today that the pilot's house is being searched. well, maybe that's not the first time, but it hasn't been reported. and, i mean, that's where you would start. and i would start within about 24 hours to see whether there's any reason to believe that the pilot or the co-pilot or other members of the flight crew, whether their security could have been compromised in any way. so you would go to their residences. you would check everything from bank accounts, barkgrounds, travels, associates to see

whether or not they could have been complicit in facilitating a breach of the cockpit. so it seems that a lot of time may have been wasted searching swaths of ocean when there should have been some security investigations under way in an aggressive way. >> and really quickly, in the few seconds we have left, we also don't know what was in the cargo hold. we still have real questions about that as well. >> that's a knowable thing, and the manifest should be checked. the people that shipped the cargo should be checked. its contents should be double checked. all this should be put together. and you ought to be able to find out, you know, whether there was anybody onboard of ill intent, bad associations, or even had the capability to attempt to fly that aircraft. >> well, we appreciate you joining us with your insights. i know security is obviously extremely important to you and to so many of us. and this is something we're going to be watching very closely because the security breach apparently did happen and we still don't know about the fate of those people onboard that aircraft.

>> right. >> still a very deep, sad, and deepening mystery to keep watch on. thank you so much for joining us. >> right. nice it be with you. thanks. still to come, some republican lawmakers are saying enough is enough. we're going to talk to one congressman who's trying to stop what he sees about president obama's executive overreach. representative ron desantis will be joining us now from florida. stay with us. ♪ ♪ . . . . . .

fox news alert. we continue to bring the very latest on the search that's under way in the indian ocean. it's been one week since the malaysian airliner disappeared. there's new information about the disappearance of the jet. it's now refocusing the investigation into the flight crew and its passengers. today, authorities went to the homes of both the pilot and co-pilot. and several local news reports there are saying that those searches have been taking place at a time after malaysia's prime minister confirmed what many have already suspected, that this situation with the plane, the disappearance, the whole entire deliberate act and the plane's communications systems were disabled. we're going to continue to follow that story for you and bring you the latest on the

search that continues over the waters of the indian ocean as the investigation focuses now on the pilot and its passengers. now, turning now to politics. with a growing number of gop house members saying president obama has overstepped his constitutional authority and is changing laws. without congressional input. just this week, the house passing two new bills to deal with the issue of executive overreach. joining us now, republican congressman from florida and the author of the faithful execution of the law act, ron desantis. welcome, congressman. good to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> let's talk for a moment about the bill that you have been so passionately supporting. the fact that you and many of your colleagues believe executive overreach has to stop. >> well, that's right, uma. when we took office last january, we all swore an oath to support and defend the

constitution. the constitution's clear, congress has given the authority by the american people to legislate, and the president has given the authority and, in fact, has a duty to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. and so the executive branch certainly had some discretion in how they enforce laws, but they don't have the ability to simply choose not to enforce laws. and so we've seen this time and time again where the president is simply rewriting statutes and ultimately draining our legislative authority so a number of us believe it was time we do something about it. i hope that we can get some support in the senate for this. i'm not optimistic because i think senator reid has decided to simply allow the president to do this. but i do think what's happening now, if we don't stand up, there will be implications for the future and a lot of my friends on the other side of the aisle who won't like what happens when a future republican tries to pull some of this stuff. >> now, this proposed law would

allow congress to actually sue the president from federal court for aurbitrarily changing laws because it violates the separation of powers? is that correct? >> that is my colleague, trey o gowdy, the enforce act. there's certain prudential road blocks for going into court. it's not a guarantee the court would haear the case. these are basically political disputes. we're in a situation now where we don't have a willing partner in the senate. i think of my colleagues were frustrated. we want to tell our constituents we're doing everything we can to try to stand up for separation of powers and the rule of law. >> your bill did pass. i knew you were very happy about this. as you're waiting to see what the senate does, i know you're going to be really pushing hard to see that the senate supports what you have been pushing for all along. >> well, that's right. i mean, the president came to

the state of the union and he told us in congress, hey, do what i want. if you don't do it, i'll do it anyway. he looked over on the other side of the aisle and a lot of my democratic colleagues were cheering. i'm not going to cheer any president who says they can simply go around congress at their will. >> all right, congressman. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. up next, the ongoing mystery surrounding the missing malaysian jetliner. it's lighting up the twitter universe. people from around the world coming together through social media to float different theories, offering prayers, and trading conspiracy theorys. stay with us. for hearburn? yea. try alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heart burn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. alka-seltzer fruit chews. enjoy the relief! hi boys! i've made you
