hello. it is sunday, the 16th of march, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. with malaysian flight 370 hijacked by its own pilots, new details this morning as investigators try to learn more about extremist past. this as they look into the search for the missing plane. the breaking details straight ahead. and russian paratroopers flood the ukrainian border and more than 20,000 occupants flood crimea as the country hangs in the balance. will they choose to be ruled by due putin?

and a hero gave his legs for our country. we are here with his story. "fox and friends" begins right now. we have a fox news alert this morning, brand new video showing lookouts aboard the american missile "the u.s.s. kid" as the search expands for the missing malaysian airlines jet. >> and u.s. intelligence officials are leaning toward the theory that one or both of the pilots may be responsible for the plane's disappearance. >> peter doocy is joining us from washington, d.c. and one of the pilots had a flight simulator in their home. >> reporter: yes, they are looking to see what kind of practicing the pilot was doing

on the simulator, but local reports are that police have not found anything suspicious about the simulator. now the pilot pals are saying he really liked his job and really liked to fly. that's why he had the sophisticated simulator you see on the screen right now. so authorities around the world are still puzzled because we know the flight changed altitudes and direction but we don't know why. just that the working theory concludes somebody with detailed knock about the way a boeing 777 is carried out carrying out some kind wrongdoing. and uncertainty about the whole thing has led the indian government to pull their assets from the massive ocean search efforts. india thinking the malaysian government can narrow the search effort, and until they tell them where to look, india won't be much help for the time being. the united states has the most advanced anti-sub and anti-surface war plane flying

search missions. that's the american poseidon. experts say it helps to at least know where the plane is not during a search like this, but that seems to be all anybody knows at this hour. back to you. >> more questions this morning, thank you, peter. as we learn more about the pilots, the big question is, what will they have to gain by hijacking this aircraft? >> it's a great question. we'll bring in our fox news terrorist analyst this morning. >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> so many questions about the end game for this aircraft if it was hijacked and taking it over and using it for a terrorist plot. where would be the best place to take this airplane? >> it's the mind of the person how did it, that's where we should start. what was the ideology of this pilot or two pilots. that will determine a lot of things. they would have done it allegedly because of opposition

to the malaysian government makes no sense because the opposition in malaysia is not jihadist at this point in time. there would be two things we need to look at very quickly. number one, the means, and number two, what is the final outcome, in this case, either destroying the plane or having a hostage exchange situation, probably without escape. they would need a place to land, they would need to statement, and all that is not available, all that is not seen so far. >> walid, some questions we have had answered on our network in the last several hours were why weren't the pilots investigated sooner? you have one of them who talks about this political fanatic, obsessive about an opposition leader, and then you have the other one who is pictured with bringing two teenager girls into the cockpit.

why weren't they investigated sooner and is that having an impact? >> again, it depends on the malaysian government, what do they want, how are they calculating? remember, some of the perpetrators of 9/11 have been pictured in bars and they said, oh, these are not jihadists. what you need to know is had those pilots in the past been sub minted to radical indoctrination. if not, then the path of the investigation will go in a direct direction. all begins with the malaysian government releasing the information to us the information they have about the two pilots. then we can build the case, is this jihadist international network link or is it just a mission of suicide or personal derangement. >> walid, it looks like they could reach pakistan, do you think that's a likely destination? >> it would be very difficult for me to imagine any of those countries where the destination can and reached. they wouldn't try to stop the plane. what is the final outcome? to reach a place where they have

support. a place where they have support, meaning a malitia on the ground or government on the ground that would allow them to land and allow them to do negotiation for hostage release. and in government, that is in relationship with china as well, a lot of possible option. >> does any place fit the description you just gave? >> yes, but i have been asking the experts to say if they could land and malaysia would give them a spot to land, and i have not gotten that answer from the technicians yet. >> what about yemen? does that seem like a likely destination? >> no, because the army-controlled yemen cannot control an airstrip. the only place we are going to be looking at is where there's a malitia to control an airstrip, can have the plane down, take the hostages and then the

negotiation would begin. that's what the experts should be looking at now. >> what does this say about the future of terrorism, a one-off instance or an approach to terrorism that we don't know the end game to yet? >> it is new taking. every time you have a team of terrorists learning from the other previous team of terr terroris terrorists, whatever has happened in 2001, they not going to repeat it because we know about it. this could be a case whereby other terrorists use it. they are sophisticated and sbemt. one more thing, they are international. we don't know the nationality of people involved. people are talking about china, but it doesn't have to be them. it could be a network of international jihadists if this is the case. >> what is are the chances that whoever is responsible for this may not be on the manifest, that maybe they came and they were somebody coming at the last minute to ride in the cockpit or one of the extra jump seats or something like that. is that a possibility? >> it is a possibility, but what

i'm thinking about is for anything other than a suicide mission, which would take one person. if there are two pilots, one pilot could eliminate the other one and destroy the plane if that's the goal. if the goal is to land it and engage in hostage discussion, that operation would need at least 15, 20 or 30 people to do it, meaning other people who are on this trip and elsewhere. >> can we rule out suicide in this? it does remind us of the egypt air situation, right? it seems like the amount of time this thing was flying doesn't jive with suicide. and plus, this guy, this main pilot, seemed to be a nice guy. he loved flying, he had a flight simulator at home, he was friendly according to so many people. he was obsessed and loved flying, does this shake out that way? >> look, the love flying notion, i don't buy it if there's ideology. because that can display anything, loving anything. two things, if this was from the

beginning a suicide mission, it would have been done in the first two hours, period. but it seems to me from the pattern that there was a decision made and something went wrong with that decision. because if neither suicide nor did they land anywhere negotiating, so it may have been a terrorist operation gone wrong. >> walid faris, thank you. >> thank you for having me. nine minutes after the hour, we begin this fox news alert. russian paratroopers drop as polls open in crimea's refere e dumb vote. the vote is considered it legitimate by the acting ukrainian government and the west but it is expected to pass because of crimea's strong ties to russia. meanwhile, there are 22,000 russian troops in crimea and the increase violates agreements between the two countries. the russian foreign minister spoke with secretary of state

issue with the transmission shifter. comedian david brenner, a regular on johnny carson's show, has lost his long battle with cancer. >> a man driving a car with a woman will never admit that he's lost. he'd rather have his left had suddenly turn into a foot. boom! i know exactly where we are, we are east of the mississippi. >> brenner appeared on the late night talk show 158 times. more than any other guest. but even in death, he kept the jokes going. he's requested his gravesite to read this, "if this was supposed to be a joke, then i don't get it." david brenner was 78 years old. >> a really nice guy, too. >> impressive. well, coming up, here's how the white house does math. poor more money into obamacare while cutting from the nation's military. our next guest, a marine veteran, calling it a smack in the face and outrage. that's next.

white house move only seems to hurt this. due to the sequester, subsidies for low-income americans were going to be cut by 7%. but now the white house is scrapping this plan and restoring $560 million in subsidies on the taxpayers' dime, and the average military family may lose up to $5,000 in benefits. so why do our nation's heros have to suffer in the name of obamacare. here to react is jesse james duff. good morning, thank you for being with us. >> good morning, thank you so much for having me. >> so when you hear this, do you feel like this is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform? >> this is a horrible attempt by the president to demonstrate that he cares about taxpayers, but he's cutting costs on the backs of taxpayers, but on the military and not with his golden calf obamacare. this is an insult to all the military who have served or is serving. a sergeant, the united states

marine corps sergeant, on samplg is going to lose $5,000 in food allowances in housing allowances and medical costs. this is ridiculous to happen to our service members who served to dedicate their lives so aggressively and try to serve this country and provide great defense. >> yeah, low pay increases, increase in grocery bills because of what's going on at the commissary, housing costs going up, it's a lot to shoulder certainly. the white house, though, the administration officials came through last night, this is according to "the washington post," and they said the reason for doing it was to improve efficiency in the administration for both insurers and the federal government. so what do you make of that? >> you know, secretary hagel said that the military has this extremely generous benefit that we must rein in costs. if this is so generous, how come we give 1% to those that give to

this nation? 1%. they are not taking care of veterans. we have 400,000 veterans waiting for benefits from the v.a. so you've got people waiting over 342 days to get benefits from the veterans administration, meanwhile it takes only 30 days to get on food stamps. so this administration is sending completely mixed cig analysis. >> and how many of the 1% actually make it to 20 years for retirement, too. >> you know, people like myself are almost going to become obsolete, less than 17% of the 1% will do 20 years. let me tell you how hard that is. i moved nine times in those 20 years. i did four years overseas. when you get out of the military, overall usually your body is broken and your bank account is broken. you don't have much and you have to start all over. so now they are taking these benefits, it's just telling people, why serve? >> exactly. how is it going to be impacting recruitment for sure. also, when you hear about the president flying around on air

force one while he's, you know, making these military cuts or allowing them to happen, you know, fund-raising across the country and going shopping in new york, how does that make you feel? >> you know, i look at it and i find it appalling, that he's not caring about those people who put their lives on the line for this country. we talked about the 17% of the 1% that make it to 20-year mark, what about those that don't make it and have died in service for this country? what about those that are disabled? you have to show that you care about those who serve this country, otherwise what kind of nation are we? this is going to kill the recruiting process. it's really making it hard for people to say, i'm going to invest my life, i'm going to dedicate myself to serve this great nation. >> yes. retired veteran sergeant jessie james huff, thank you for your time today. 19 minutes after the hour, hand over a list of gun owners or face a government raid? the businessman that's fighting back and standing up for his rights, coming up. and parents, your teenagers may be begging you to see "need

"need for speed," i'm desperate to see this, should i go? >> this is unique that all the stunt sequences are done for real. they don't use computer generated images whatsoever. the director, one of the best directors right now, he directed "act of valor" to use real navy

s.e.a.l.s. he took it further with a need for speed with real action sequences. i sat down with scott wall to figure out how to shoot the biggest stunts in the movie, including the scene where he drives off the cliff and gets picked up by a helicopter. this is what he had to say. >> oh, i would drive off the cliff, no, i did not do that. >> he's going to drive up to that moment and then we put the stunt double in there for the go off the cliff action. it was one of those things where it was the end of the filming process as well. we were the end of the run of making the movie, and the studio was a little nervous and thought we should do this in cg. i'm like, we have done no cg up to this point, we can do this. >> in the scene, you and the actors look like you're actually hanging. >> we do dangle. >> we hung them, yeah. >> we hung the mustang up and they literally dangled. >> it's incredible how they did that.

this is just a mindless action movie. if you are looking for a good script or good performances and good dialogue, you're not going to get that. very cliche, but the action is insane. and aaron paul, like i said on friday, is the best crier in the business. he had a great cry face, he really does. >> you're speaking to tucker, he likes men crying who are mindless. >> exactly. >> "veronica mars," this was the quick-start project after the show went off the air. did it live up to the hype? >> they kick-started the movie raising $5.7 million with 91,000 donors. you don't just give the money, you get something for your money. depending on how much you donated, you have a voice mail mess edge from kristen bell and you could be in the movie with a speaking part in the film, this movie made history. the first major film by a major studio released simultaneously in theaters and on demand and digitally in the same day. it takes place nine years later after the show left off. she returns to her hometown to

investigate a murder mystery. now they give you a two to three-minute prologue in the beginning to catch you up on any story you may have missed in the show. it's an interesting film, the performances are fun. i give it three out of five. worthy of a matinee. >> is this a trend we'll start seeing more? i mean, 91,000 fans coming up with $5.7 million seems like a pretty big deal. >> it's definitely going to make history. think about all the shows canceled in the past that could possibly be brought back. this is a huge deal. you can done load the movie and see it in theaters digitally. it is interesting how they are doing this. >> that calls for a time tuttle movie. remember that, chris? enter bring back "firefly" and "serenity." >> "saved by the bell," how about that one? >> please no "saved by the

we're back with a fox news alert. a brand new map highlights more than 600 possible planes that malaysian flight 370 could have landed, adding to the mystery of the plane could have possibly landed last week. >> we have a former secret service agent joining us from washington, d.c. with more on this theory. dan, nice to see you this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> what theory are we talking about that people are not bringing up and talking about? >> one of the benefits of being a secret service agent is we review endless streams of intelligence to try to prevent attacks, however seemingly spectacular, and i don't mean that in a positive way. one of the things i have not heard mentioned is the possibility whoever took the plane, and i believe it to be the pilot, may have been seeking, actively seeking a mid-air collision, whether through suicide or terrorism,

obviously his own death in some spectacular fashion or for terror reasons, but it explains a lot. there's a lot of open-ended questions and that theory includes why they were up in the air that long after gaping control of a plane. >> what do you mean, seeking out another aircraft to ram in the snare. >> exactly. believe me, i understand how speculation and a lot of these circumstances sometimes help and sometimes it doesn't, but i think in some respects ground source and via media can actually help. it's a spectacular way to end your life if you're a terrorist or if you are suicidal and have psychopathological ideas. some of these terrorists are trying to assassinate or propagate terror. when i put these all together,

and keep it simple, this seems logical. that's why they may have been flying around. >> would the pilot have access to other airline materials information, that is to say the pilot is up there with the aircraft, could he want to target a specific other airline and would he know the name of the airline and specifically target, for instance, a united air flight with that information, would that be available to him? >> there are systems on the plane where you can tell within proximity, i think it is called t-cap, you can tell within proximity if there's a plane around you. granted, i know it seems implausible, but given this tragic sherlock holmes mystery, we have to entertain the implausible. why would you hijack a plane, or if you're the pilot, take a plane, take it to altitude, which i believe was done to knock out the passengers, to induce hypoxy at 40,000 feet,

why would you do that if you were just going to crash the plane and just do it? why give any potential passenger that survived the opportunity to take the plane back by flying around for seven hours. none of it makes sense. and here's another reason i believe this, malaysian military defense picked up a flight path, when they deviated their path and turned and went back over malaysia, they went back through a known flight corridor. in other words, they didn't take a direct path. they took a path on the known flight highway where other planes would be located. so they weren't trying to stay, at least, visually hidden from other planes. it doesn't make any sense. >> and a terrorist group would certainly get a lot of spectacular media coverage from doing something so innovative no matter how sickening it sounds to us. and when we think back to 9/11, the thought of an airplane being hijacked and going into a building seemed farfetched. so, you know, would you

recommend to u.s. investigators, to malaysian investigators, what would you say they need to be looking for right here, right now? >> well, thankfully we finally, the malaysian investigators made it into the pilot's house. keep in mind, another fact to add to this sherlock holmes mystery, the pilot in the home had a flight simulator. why would a pilot with all this flight time have a flight simulator if you weren't practicing for something, something you don't do every day in a plane, like potentially a mid-air collision. i would suggest looking at pilot shaw. he seems to be the most likely one to have done this. >> well, for sure. and that seems almost obviously now and yet it was a week until the malaysian government seemed to figure that out. and they spent two hours searching his house, why is their investigation seeming so mediocre, almost negligent, what's that? >> tucker, we are a little spoiled in the united states

having been a federal agent and worked with the bureau, having been on the secret service myself, our system is very streamlined and relatively efficient. it has its holes, of course, every system does, overseas having worked international investigations, that's not the way it works, even in the most advanced of countries we deal with. there are typically bureaucratic bottlenecks and apparently malaysia is not immune to that. a week is unforgivable. evidence could have disappeared by now. >> when you talk about the course of action here, this really does seem to line up with one of the most simplest courses of action, are there any other plausible scenarios that seem simple enough that we might have overlooked? or are these things playing out? >> with me, no, i put on my federal agent hat and picked a solution that requires the least amount of assumption. and the fact they were in that air for that long for no other reason was they were looking to

hit something or that was hit. it seemed to me obvious, it took a while to put it together, but it seemed to me obvious. the fact they chose that specific flight corridor and shut off the transponder the exact time where they would be invisible in the air for an hour and a half, an hour and a half, they shut off the transponder at the exact time, why would you want to be invisible for an hour and a half if you weren't going to dump the plane in the land or the ocean right away. it doesn't make sense. >> you think about the other theories, that the plane was hijacked in an effort to land on a remote island somewhere, it's going to be filled up with explosives and flown off to another island, it seems really -- >> how hard, maybe this is unnoble because it never happened, but how hard would it be for one commercial aircraft to hit another both in flight? >> well, it's not easy, i can tell you that. now, i'm not a pilot, but having spent a lot of time looking at air pictures in foreign countries and dealing with implausible scenarios like this as a secret service agent, it

probably is no harder than ramming it into a building in downtown d.c. again, you know, sometimes when you're shooting a gun, the easiest thing to hit is the target moving down because the bullet is moving down as well with gravity. it's not easy, but he had a flight simulator, and that picture you show of the erratic flight path explains the erratic flight path, too. why didn't they just go northwest here? why did they go like that? those paths were specific flight corridors in the sky where other planes would be found. why not just go northwest? none of it makes sense. >> dan, as we go, if you were to speculate on which terrorist organization is behind this, would you say al qaeda or what? >> given al qaeda's footprint in southeast asia, if i had to speculate, i would say, yes, al qaeda. >> really fascinating. dan, that was a discussion. you just added a lot to the conversation, we appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. to other stories making news at this hour, we'll get right to

organization that makes sure the internet is working. when you or i type in foxnews.com, it goes to the right website and connects us to the servers that get us the information that we want. and the federal government, specifically the commerce department, has had a contract with ican to make sure everything is running smoothly, so that's what is being given up here that ends in 2015, and the obama administration said let's open this up to global governance to include china and russia. so that's really what we're looking at here. >> but why would we do that? the internet was created by the u.s. military, but the pentagon as we know. tax dollars built it and we have run it well. the oversight has worked, why in the world would we give china more power over the internet? >> that's a really good question. you know, you look at some of the revelations the last couple of years, edward snowden and the nsa leaks have sort of given that movement, you've heard this from governments in china and

russia and other places, that, the united states has too much control over the internet, which is a little ironic because they sensor the internet in countries like those. and the edward snowden revelations have given momentum to those folks to say, a-ha, the u.s. can't be trusted with that. there are all kinds of problems with that when you allow governments that sensor the internet and sort of withhold information from their citizens via the internet, giving them control of it, there's some problems and reasons to be concerned. >> so basically you're saying the obama administration believes china has the moral authority in this conversation and we are giving in to their demands because who are we not to, so what are the risks in this? >> well, i think what you're looking at is not just those governments like china getting control or at least having a say in the control of how you get from typing something in to your

computer to getting that information, but we have to think about as well what those internet companies that google is of course the one we think of, but what is going to happen when they are not just, you know, dealing with the united states oversight and regulation of the internet, but these other countries, you look at what google did several years ago to get their servers in china, of course, china has all the sensorship laws on the internet. and they actually agreed to blocking certain sites if the chinese government didn't approve of them. it's unbelievable. it's pretty bad. >> they are going along with sensorship in a communityist country. michael warren, thank you for joining us this morning. the blue angels are back. the brand new video of them flying high. amazing, as always, that's coming up. and he's a tough-as-nails american hero who gave both of his legs in afghanistan, but he's reduced to tears at a theme

welcome back. our next guest is an american hero who gave both of his legs in afghanistan. but tell that to the six flags in texas. after arguing with the manager over three hours, his frustration brought him to tears. is this the way to treat those fighting for our freedom and where is common sense in all this? steven jackal and his daughter mya are with us this morning.

nice to see you this morning. >> nice to see you. good morning, my fellow americans. >> nice see you this morning, sergeant. what happened when you first went to the six flags, you were met with frustration at every turn, tell us what happened when you got up to the gate to tell them you were a veteran? >> yeah, i approached the ticket booth, i fully disclosed the fact that i had two prosthetic legs, and i asked if they offered a military discount. the guy at the ticket booth was respectful in the fact that he said i had to receive the military discount at the military base, which i understood that. he offered a buddy pass discount, which was pretty admirable of him. i told him i would appreciate it. he, at that point, didn't disclose the fact that with having two prosthetic legs there, wouldn't be rides that i would not be allowed to ride. so i proceeded through the gate,

took my daughter to the fast pass section of the park, again, disclosed the fact that i had two prosthetic legs, and once again, no one told me i wouldn't be allowed to ride any of the rides having two prosthetic legs. >> you got on this ride with your daughter, this boomerang roller coaster, and then what happened, they pulled you off? >> well, i had taken my legs off, out of the position of getting seated, and the tenant walked up to me and said, without one fully functioning leg, you are not going to be able to ride this ride. at that point, you know, i was sick to hospitality, which there began the frustration of arguing if i could not ride any rides to get a full refund, at that point

i was denied. >> mya, you are seeing your dad crying and saying he was a veteran trying to serve his country, that's why he has two missing legs, what did you think? >> i thought it was pretty sad and frustrating. >> well, six flags has released a statement after all of this, they said, we truly appreciate sergeant jackel service to our country and we were disappointed to learn our accessibility policy was not properly communicated and we hope he and his family will accept our refund and our invitation to visit the park again. it seems like nobody at the park knew what the policy was, right? >> that is correct. that was fully explained to me. and i appreciate him and six flags reaching out, but again, it doesn't change the fact that the situation happened. and for me, people who are in or have been disabled, physically challenged, that's not an excuse. i, my family, will never go to

six flags again. >> well, here if people want to call and announce their ideas about six flags, we'll put the number up on the screen. you can do that. there it is. and sergeant, mya, thank you so much. ♪ see what's new at projectluna.com thank you. thank you. i got this. no, i'll get it! no, let me get this. seriously. hey, let me get it. ah, uh. i don't want you to pay for this. it's not happening, honey. let her get it. she got her safe driving bonus check from allstate last week. and it's her treat. what about a tip? oh, here's one... get an allstate agent. nice!

good morning. it is sunday, the 16th of march, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. and a fox news alert, the search for missing malaysian flight 370 entering its eighth day as authorities are turning their focus to the plane's crew and passengers. could the pilots of this plane be behind its disappearance? the latest developments as they unfold. and happening right now, russian paratroopers flood the ukrainian border. more than 20,000 troops occupying crimea as the country's future hangs in the balance this morning. will they choose to be ruled by putin? and call him houdini. this clever cat can't be caged.

he'll try to claw his way to freedom. and this isn't the first time he's made a great escape. that's really -- i grew up with a cat who rang the doorbell one time to get in the house, no joke. that's the kind of information you find here on "fox and friends." it's free for you. we begin with a fox news alert. moments ago malaysian airlines officials wrapping up a press conference on the investigation in to missing malaysia flight 370. 25 countries are now involved in the search for that plane up from 14 just yesterday. >> and our peter doocy is live in washington, d.c. peter, they also have new information about the pilots, you say. >> yes, there's a lot of new focus on the pilots in the cockpit of flight 370. but we now know those pilots did not ask to fly together.

that's what malaysia flight officials are saying, and that detail adds a big working detail to the figure of somebody with a triple 777 design being responsible for whatever happened to flight 370. because that theory had authorities looking at both pilots, but now their boss says these pilots did not request to fly together. that obviously does not rule them out, but it is a piece of the puzzle we had not seen before. one of the pilots does have a fancy flight simulator in his house, but so far authorities have not revealed what he was using it to practice for and the pilot's pals are suggesting now that he just really likes to fly. and for others on board, we heard this morning that background checks for some passengers still have not come back yet. this morning we are also told that right now the three most likely causes for flight 370's disappearance are hijacking, sabotage or personal problems among whoever was at the controls.

the search for the aircraft does not include 25 countries. and its equally spread out in the northern and southern grids, the north spreads all the way up to central asia. the south, extends to remote parts of the indian ocean. a poseidon aircraft is now supporting the search, that's the most advanced aircraft of its kind, but some family members of the 239 family members aboard the missing jet are starting to get angry with malaysian government officials for not telling them one way or the other if their loved ones are definitely dead or if they could possibly be alive somewhere. back to you. >> peter doocy bringing us up to speed with the latest on that. among the 25 nations searching for any sign of the missing malaysia air flight is china. our next guest says with the growing terrorism threat in that country, there may be reason to be weary of its involvement in the search. >> michael cain is a former

advise tore the u.k. ministry of defense. recently they had the knife attack that left 29 dead and several wounded? >> there was a knife attack where 29 people and 140 people wounded. they are thought to be part of the separatist movement in the shanghai province. and we know from terrorism that they have had some problems there. china has a terrorist threat inside itself. and we know that they are linked in this investigation. >> who are the groups, do you think, we should be looking at the uygurs and others? >> i think they are the natural place to look, but i caution being very weary about pip-pointing or specifying in

any detail who we may think it is. i think we have to go back to basics and kind of look at the broader picture in terms of what the jet was doing, who was on board, looking at the sabotage piece, looking at the hijack piece, but also let's not rule out mechanical failure without the pilots knowing about it in this case. we have to leave everything on the table. to go down a rabbit hole now would be -- >> even now you're saying that, that perhaps this wasn't intentional. >> just because of the lack of information that we have. you mentioned there are now 25 countries involved, there's over 43 ships, 58 aircraft. and there's over 28 million models of square area to actually look at. so it's -- it really is -- 23,500 hours flying, i've been from the arctic circle to the jungles of belize. this is perplexing. we have never seen anything like it. >> we had dan on the show

earlier, and one of the things he said was this idea that it may have been just the pilot wanting a spectacular mid-air collision. now we know from peter doocy's reporting there the pilots were selected at random to fly together. so the idea they had been coordinating ahead of time to fly the plane together in some sort of hijacking to get it off to some island and further on to pakistan doesn't seem plausible anymore. >> well, i think we have to be careful about hypothesizing in specific situations. ly say for me the investigation seems to be pointing more towards the sabotage/hijack theory. when you look at the evidence, i think it's fair to say. for me it's about the ability for the jet to communicate to traffic agencies in the world. and it does that through four ways and radios. you have the two distress frequencies on victor with uniform. and the transponder is the unique identifier that allows a four-digit code which uniquely identifies the aircraft to the

radar agencies. so when it is approaching sovereign territory or chinese territory, the chinese radar authorities say it is a unique identification number. so you do that to be declared into chinese air space. as soon as that goes off, it becomes hard to identify that aircraft. so what that means is that the aircraft then turns into a blip on the radar. if it turns into a blip on the radar, it then comes in to the other clutter on the radar and becomes hard to identify. you talk about the aircraft, if they crash into the ground, the beacon goes off. and what happens if they crash in the sea, the blip goes off. at the moment, there's contradictory evidence to say if it crashed into the sea, the

blip would have gone off. or if they crashed into the ground, somebody would have seen it and we have no reports. >> we have a new map that we showed last hour, 634 locations where this plane could have landed. what do you think the likelihood is that the passengers could be alive? >> again, if you would have spoken to me on september 10, 2001, and indicated what was going to happen the next day, i would have thought you were barking mad. but we now live in a new world order. what i will tell you is that in order to take an aircraft from one country to another, you have to go through sovereign air space. you have to have a flight plan and establish two-way communications with the radar transponder that i eluded to. if you don't have that, then people in sovereign countries get very weary and want to know what the blip is approaching the national boundary. >> that plane flew back over malaysian air space and they did not notice. >> which my theory is that if the transponder goes off, you've

got that blip, which then blends into a load of other blips which are on the radar. if it's within the sovereigner the terror of malaysian air space, it won't be interrogating, which to your point says if it's going to land somewhere, it will have to land somewhere most likely inside malaysian air space without it going to kyrgyzstan or pakistan like people are hypothesizing. if it's going to land, you want to land where there won't be a quick reaction. within ten minutes of bin ladin across the border, they were detected by pakistani radar. if you have a sovereign territory that has its national boundaries incurred by a blip, an unidentified blip, that's the kind of reaction you want. so if you are going to want to do something slightly sinister, the last thing you want to do is cross over boundaries. >> michael kane, thank you for

joining us. >> pleasure. thank you for having me. nine minutes after the hour, on to a fox news alert, russian paratroopers drop over the ukrainian borders as crimea votes to decide whether to become part of russia or an independent state. >> we are live in kiev with more on why the vote is widely predicted to pass. good morning, amy. or good afternoon. >> reporter: good morning, anna, claytop and tucker. there has been so much propaganda and this is happening at the end of the barrel of the gun. with 22,000 russian troops on the ground in this very relatively small region called crimea, we are not expecting any disturbances today, either. the united states and bass dor to the united nations last night said very firmly and passion natsly that cry ma m crimea wil

stay part of russia, but the facts on the ground do not bear that out. in the meantime, there's increasing concern about the ukrainian 15,000 troops barricaded on their bases in crimea or who are locked out and remain outside of those bases. crimea's leader says from the announcement of the results of the referendum, those troops will be illegally down there. now, again, the russian troop presence in crimea according to the ukrainian defense ministry is 22,000 as of friday it was 18,000. so there's been a significant build up according to the ukrainians over the weekend. as an answer to that, ukraine is building up its forces, its troop presence on the borders of ukraine and russia. back to you. >> thank you, amy. amy kellogg in kiev, ukraine. the president is making it clear he'll do whatever he wants. >> where congress isn't acting, i'll act on my own. >> our next guest, congressman

mike kelly, wants to stop the president in his tracks. we'll tell you his plan, next. and this clever cat can't be caged. a purr-fect escape caught on camera, and it's not the first time. ♪ ♪

i've got a pep and i've got a phone. and i can use that pen to sign executive orders. i have a pep to take executive actions where congress won't. where congress isn't acting, i will act on my own. wherever and whenever i will expand the opportunity for more american families, that's what

i'm going to do. >> president obama calling this a year of action, unilateral action, promising to push through a legislation with or without consent from congress. but now the house has passed two bills aimed to stop the president from altering the meaning of laws already on the books. joining us now, pennsylvania congressman mike kelly. thank you for coming on this morning. so this is, it seems to be, an attempt by congress tory assert its status as the co-equal branch of government. is it going to work? >> i think the american people should be outraged right now. one of the most chilling things to me is half of the house stood up and cheered the president's statement that, listen, i will take away that power from you. i don't need you to do what i want to get done. that's chilling and to have people stand up and cheer for that, for years there's always an argument between the house, the representatives and the president, the president is abusing his executive powers. is he pushing too hard?

both parties felt that way, but this one, we're looking at such an e greengregious overstep. i'm going to do this whether you like it or not. they put through piece that is are starting to alert the american people. it is an outrageous outrage. this is something we need to do as the american people. this is what the founders intended from the very beginning, and as you know, that goes back to pennsylvania's constitution and adopted whenever we did the federal constitution. >> what the founders certainly feared is members of congress cheering the dear leader as he took their power away. and part of the way the white house has exerted its power overexerted it is by not open forcing laws it doesn't like. will this legislation do anything about that? >> i think it does push the issue forward. we hear all the time, listen, you guys are just passing stuff that will never get through the senate. my goodness, if we stop trying

to push things through because it's not going to get through at the senate, we might as well shut down because nothing is getting through the senate right now with mr. reed so worried about the next election. our job in the house of representatives, this is the people's house. we are supposed to be the spokespeople for the people of the united states. if we don't stand up, if we don't dig our heels in, who is going to do it, tucker? there's no firewall other than the house of representatives if we have to do that. >> the president switched topics here, the president's new budget would cut a lot from the u.s. military. one veterans group estimates that top average army sergeant, for example, would see about a $5,000 cut to his pay. and yet at this exact moment the president is saying we need to reduce military spending. jetting around the country spending tens of millions of dollars on air force one. your and my airplane raising money for the democratic party? how does that work? >> well, it doesn't work. again, other than fox, there's not a lot of people putting this message out there. i just read this article that said we are beating our swords

into food stamps. we are expanding programs at a rate that is unsustainable and we are reducing our military down to pre-world war ii levels. we cannot weaken ourselves in a world growing more dangerous. my goodness, if you don't read it, you are doomed to repeat it. go back to the '30s and look what was happening in germany at the same time as we were starting to diminish and were trying to appease nazi germany that was growing and we are trying to calm down a bully taking over europe. and they will do the same thing, they will create an issue saying we had to come in because this is actually our territory and we need to go and defend it. we have never been a at greater risk than we are now. my question is, mr. president, we are in grave danger. if we cannot be, the united states, if we are not the strongest country in the world, our friends and allies will no longer be able to rely on us. geopolitically the consequences

are never greater than in the great' 30s hen we saw the world tilt because of the world wanting to appease and the bully saying it stops here. >> i think you can agree that cutting pay to army sergeants while we're advertising food stamps in mexico, which we are, is an example of skewed priorities. congressman, appreciate you coming on this morning. >> thank you. more proof that the cost of college is completely out of control. students relying on food pantries. it's happening. we have the shocking stats coming up. and from the bible to the big screen, the story of noah about to hit your local theater. it's already under scrutiny, though. some critics say it is not just inaccurate. what does father john think? that's coming up, next. >> you stand alone and defy me. >> i'm not alone.

>> how do you start? the movie is not out, but we know the criticisms are that the movie is not accurate. >> not accurate to the bible story of noah. but what do we know about noah himself? we know he was a good father, he was a good husband, that he was a good man living in a very hard time to find favor with god. and who did something that everyone thought was crazy, but he did it because he thought it was coming from god. now, that's basically what we know about noah. not a whole lot more. so if you're going to make a film about it, and i think it is a fabulous thing to make films about epic stories like noah, then you're going to have to have major artistic license. and that is okay. and that's why i think a lot of people are not going to be happy. >> it's not a documentary, you're saying. >> not documentary. and as long as it's done in a respectful way. now here's what we have to be watchful of, i think, if they are going to make noah, because

he was a religious guy into a schizophrenic guy because he was religious, maybe he was schizophrenic, i don't know, but not because he was religious. and sometimes hollywood has a tendency to do that. he has god speaking to him. and they make god impersonable, kind of a voice from above telling everybody what to do because it makes him feel good. those are the types of things, the caricatures that are not positive, so we'll see what happens. >> when you hear about the movie that's a $120 million blockbuster starring russell crow and emma watson, when you have a biblical movie, is that good to get people excited about faith? >> a great director, great stars, i think it is an excellent thing. if it is not based, of course, on a sincere desire to tell a story and an inspiring story, then it's going to flop. because people are going to say, actually, there's more to the story than just your opinion about it.

from what i've seen, it's going to be a little controversial, but it's going to be telling a noble story of a man who went against the current of his time to do the right thing. if they do that and do it in a great artistic way, it's going to be a big hit. and i hope it is. >> father jonathan morris, always great to see you. have a great sunday. coming up here on the show, this clever cat can't be caged. >> say it, come on. >> i can't do it like anna. >> purr-fect escape. >> so good. >> caught on camera, it's not the first time that he escaped. and it's not all about the corn, beef and cabbage. we are celebrating st. paddy's day with a staple like potatoes. ♪ c'mon, you want heartburn? when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast, with tums. heartburn relief that neutralizes acid on contact. and goes to work in seconds. ♪ tum, tum tum tum... tums!

>> whole. then you take them out when it is done. you let that wilt for eight minutes or so. then you start to add your corned beef. you pour watter into the corpsed beef and let it sit for an hour, hour and a half. you add some cabbage towards it and let the cabbage wilt into there as well. and once the cabbage is sitting there about two-and-a-half hours, let it really braise the meat for two-and-a-half hours. as soon as it's done, you start chopping it up this way, bite sized. >> the corned beef. >> the corned beef. we put it right into the casserole. >> he's cleaning as he goes. i'm impressed with this. >> we dump the corned beef onto the casserole and use the juices that come out. there are really good juices that you can use as a gravy. and this is the red-skin mashed potato. this is what i mean by incooperating the potatoes into the dish. usually they are on the side, we

incorporate always into the meal. >> potatoes are really ma lined in the no-carb meal. but they are good for you. >> it is so versatile. you can eat them really healthy with a lot of nutritional benefits. >> some of the largest people in europe were the irish, the tallest and heaviest n a good way. >> they ate a lot of potatoes. so we take the mashed potatoes and dump them onto the casserole, okay? and then we nicely -- here we have a -- we nicely put it over the whole casserole. and then unfortunately i have -- i wish i had a full kitchen here with the oven. >> what is this, i can't resist. that looks like crumbled potato chips. >> this is the final product. how we finish it. and this is -- >> is that cheese on the top? >> this is sharp cheddar cheese. corned beef underneath, the mashed potatoes and then we

garnish it with salt and pepper vinegar potato chips. >> oh, come on now. >> clayton just woke up over there. >> fresh parsley. then the spicy mustard, on the website, all the recipes are on the website. >> awesome. what is this called? >> culcannon. you boil cabbage with mashed potatoes, add it together and season with garlic, onion and butter. it is very traditional mashed potato dish. >> colcannon is how it is pronounced. and you pair it with your beer. >> and you do want to drink guinness. >> all the recipes are on our website, foxandfriends. >> thank you for coming here. >> we are searching for a fork.

>> i'll use tucker's pen to eat with. 38 minutes after the hour. what happened to flight 370? the way the malaysian government has handleded this investigation is unforgivable. we have a theory, next. and the littgoodyear blimp getting a makeover. what you can do to help with it, next. if you've got copd like me... ...hey breathing's hard. know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder

[ female announcer ] call an allstate agent and get a quote now. well, a fox news alert. we know missing malaysian flight 370 was deliberately diverted and today the investigation turned to the crew and passengers aboard that plane. >> well, who may have been responsible for the aircraft's disappearance and what could their mission have been?

we'll ask retired colonel dan hampton. >> good morning, thank you for having me back. >> you say this is unforgivable the way the malaysian officials have handled this. it has taken a week essentially to go into the pilot's home. >> yeah, it would have occurred, i think, to anybody else running this investigation that when the likelihood that this was a catastrophic failure of some kind had passed, that the next thing you do is you try to i.d. the person responsible, because if you know who it is, then you can figure out why they are doing what they are doing and make an educated guess about where the aircraft might be. i don't know why it took them a week to get to this point. >> so, dan, given what we know about the flight pattern, the change in altitude and the sudden turn and apparently it was lost for eight hours, how would you rate the scale of whoever was piloting the plane? >> well, i think the changes in altitude can probably be

explained by possibly a fight in the cockpit. the chance of both guys in the cockpit, and we're making the assumption it is one of them, the chance that both of them are in on this together is pretty farfetched. as i said last night with judge jeanine, i think they need to look at maybe was there somebody in a jump suit unaccounted for, and also a 777 has a couple areas, bunk beds, where backup crews for longer flights can say. so a stow-away is not beyond the realm of possibilities. if that's the case, that person is on board. >> those bunk beds, are those within the secure cabin area? >> no, but again, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of somebody to get on board in advance and be there. so these are all things that need to be explored. the jump seat, on the other hand, is inside the cockpit. so if somebody was masquerading

as a pilot, they could already be there. >> right, they could be slipping through the cracks there. >> they would be on an american or european airliner, but air malaysia, who knows. >> right. and one more reason why there are so many mysteries surrounding this. we had guests on earlier, former secret service member, dan magino, he said the flight changes, the zig-zag nature of it could possibly be explained by the pilot of this plane trying to ram it into another airliner. what is your thought of that possibility? >> well, at this point with no real hard evidence i don't think you can discount a whole lot of theories, so my hats off to him for his out-of-the-box thinking, but it sounds good on the ground, but translating into action is something completely different. and here's why. neither of these two guys were

military pilots. and weren't fighter pilots. and taking two aircrafts and trying to do what we call an intercept on them at night with closing velocities of over 1,000 miles an hour and no airborne intercept radar on board the airliner himself, so he's using his eyes, is probably a bit of a stretch. add to it two more things, all commercial aircraft have a t-cass. >> traffic collision avoid dance system. think of it like your car on steroids. anything that got within five to ten miles of another airplane, the crew of the airplane would be alerted and they would move. again, without a fighter jet to get up to 7, 8, 9 gs, you cannot maneuver very well to hit something. and his other point was that, you know, that might explain why the plane went off to the west, but if i was going to look for something to ram, i would stay

in the area with more aircraft, to be in the south china sea. i wouldn't head off to the indian ocean. >> given what we know about the behavior of the plane, do you think it would be a trained pilot at the controls? >> absolutely. we talked about this, i think, a little bit last time, not just because of the flying but the systems involved. i mean, the transponder, turning that off is no big deal, but as i said yesterday, the other equipment, specifically the data link system and others, you have to physically get into the computer system through a display and log off. and that's not something that you can just intuitively do without having done it before. >> peter doocy reporting from washington today saying the latest that the investigators are not ruling out the passen r passengers are alive somewhere, somehow. we have a map of over 600 location where is the plane

potentially could have landed. what do you think the possibility of that is? >> well, i'm always hopeful. there aren't a whole lot of places in the world on the mainland where this airplane could go. one of your previous guests mentioned somalia, and that's about the only place that they could go unless this thing was put down on a deserted island. somalia is a failed state, nobody is really in charge. i don't really rate the pakistan or even banana republic like afghanistan very high because you have to overfly so many countries to get there, so many countries with radars that could paint the airplane. >> yes. >> so i would like to hope for the best and hope they are okay at this point, you know, your guess is as good as mine. >> dan, thank you for joining us this morning. interesting. >> no problem, thank you for having me back. we built it and now are now giving it away for free thanks to the obama administration. he's about to turn over control of the internet.

facebook executive cheryl sandberg demands more women at the top, but is this really what women want? "fox and friends" hour three starts right now. we begin with a fox news alert, who took control in the cockpit? that's what investigators are trying to determine in the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370. >> and this morning officials holding a press conference saying they will continue to investigate the 239 people on board the plane. peter doocy is live in washington with the very latest on this. good morning, peter. >> reporter: good morning. the there was a plot involving the spite los, they didn't leave a paper trail. the two pilots assigned to flight 370 said not ask to fly with each other on the night the plane went missing. there are three reasons the authorities think the plane went

missing, hijacking, sabotage or a personal problem in the life of whoever was at the controls in the cockpit. the fancy flight simulator that was inside one of the pilot's homes has been inspected by authorities, but no word on what he was using it to practice for. but also no word of anything suspicious. and the pilot's friends say he is an enthusiastic employee who likes his job and likes to take it home with him. the missing airplane was reportedly meant to fly and did go through proper security checkpoints before taking off last week, but engineers with access to the aircraft are still being looked at and background checks for some passengers on board are still being processed. the search area is split in equal halves, north and south. the northern stretches up to central asia and the southern part extends to remote parts of the indian ocean. there's a number of countries

helping out as nearly doubled to 14 yesterday. the families of the missing passengers are frustrated because they are wondering if their loved ones are definitely dead. >> peter doocy, a great summation there of where we stand as this is a confusing time right now. if you look at where the plane may have been heading, that's why you have this wide swath of area where they are examining both parts of europe, up into parts of the continent, on the remote islands, south to the indian ocean, have been basically saying, if you can't get us more information, we are not going to be floating around. >> some of the information is not available, for we know the plane after the last pen had an hour or two after that.

it is entirely possible the plane went on a trajectory unknown at this point. we do know there was a pilot at various altitudes. it had to be a pilot trained. >> talk about a needle in a haystack. 346 runway where is the plane could have landed. those are all the possible locati location. why do you think this came to fruition? why department they land the plane? i didn't understand. >> the malaysian officials are not saying anything to the families. yes, that's part of the investigation, it may have landed. but they are not getting any

information. >> peter kane said there's a reason why they are rolling with the ten hasn't nants. >> you want it to land some way no not to be interrogated. in ten minutes they were detect ed. if you want to do something slightly sinister, cross the sovereign boundary. >> they did. we know this aircraft left malaysian air space and came back, violating the software. but just military radar looking at it and nobody noticed. it was on the military radar, but the possible that this happened -- >> this so-call ed teams we are

getting are accurate. it could have been a burden we have point, at this point. >> watch this. the moment before it hits vietnam's air space, they knew that was the point with which vietnam could see it, so someone had to turn it right away from making it to tell former secret service member and why the amazing tracks were taken in this theory. listen. >> the fact they were in the air for that long for no reason requires an assumption to whether they were looking at or that to me, obvious, it took together and the fact they chose that specific course, shut off

the trand ponders where they would be at least an hour and a half. why would you want to be invisible in an hour and a half if you weren't going to dump the plane right away? >> still no terrorist claiming responsibility for it at allment dan m a . we have another fox news alert for you as russian paratroopers are dropping behind ukrainian borders as polls open in crimea's referendum vote. today voters decide whether to become part of russia or an independent state. amy kellogg is live in kiev, the capitol of ukraine, with more. and she's widely predicting this to pass this morning. what's the latest? >> reporter: the latest as

people are asking about this agreement from 1992, a treaty signed by the u.k., ukraine and russia. if ukraine gave up the soviet air and nuclear weapons, its territorial integrity would be protected. as people watch crimea slipping away are asking, whatever happened to that deal? because crimea looks like it's going to be a good deal as polling close in six hours or so. so we'll probably never know how people in crimea never joyfully feel about this, but some people will be intimidated to vote. we know some boycotts the referendum. and there was rush troops

borders crimea. they took over the gas solution. others say it controls the infrastructure in crimea. in the meantime, the rush foreign minister and secretary of state john kerry had another conversation yesterday, but clearty diplomatic position at this point remains locked. >> thank you. i need to tell you about a man murdered on a business trip. carl parker was stabbed multiple times outside this rap come act of violence. four men were taken into custody but no one has been charged. two major car recalls to tell you about. honda recalling 90,000 minivans with the fool pump can cause a

accident. and fiats were also recalled but a software update should fix the problem. and rob ford is at it again. rob ford and his brother called kevin spacey ignorant. in a statement, he tweeted a picture of himself and said, when did mayor ford start doing what people tell him to do? all you had to do was ask, guys. flight 370, should the u.s. be more involved in this search?

fox news sunday host chris wallace is on deck with that, next. and what would you do if you came face-to-face literally with a shark? this man fought back and won. >> take that! doing this all day, my feet and legs got really tired. so i got dr. scholl's massaging gel work insoles. they absorb the shock of working on my feet all day. i feel energized! get dr. scholl's massaging gel work insoles at walmart. i'm a believer!

>> chris wallace is here now to discuss this. chris, we'll talk about the international community and what the u.s. involvement would be, there were 14 countries involved in the search yesterday. now they are moved up to 25, what is the u.s. involvement as we look ahead? >> well, there are two separate issues here, anna. on the one hand is the question of the search and the u.s. will do everything it can in terms of the fairly scarce resources it has in that part of the world to look for the wreckage, but in terms of the criminal investigation, that lead is in malaysia and most of the activity is in malaysia. so the fbi, the u.s. government can only do what the malaysians allow them and ask them to do. for instance, one of the russian authorities are doing right now is looking at the flight simulator that the lead pilot had in his home. nothing wrong with that at all, a lot of pilots have it, but you want to make sure what he is

practicing. this was on the nature of the flights, but the only gets access to that if the united states gets better from yaip authorities. now we are frustrated as the u.s. maygetting better information? >> i have no idea what's going on there, but obviously this has been a very troubled investigation. the fact that we're now into day nine and pieces of information continue to come. they didn't look at the simulator until yesterday, day eight, when it seemed for several days now there was the possibility. and again, only the possibility of a rogue pilot in this event. so malaysians, and there are a lot of people around the world. and 1,000 passengers were chinese and very unhappy with the way malaysia is handling this investigation. >> how do you think the

administration is responding to the vote in crimea right now? >> well, look, not so much the vote, the whole question of the russian invasion of crimea. you know, there are limits to what the u.s. can do. we are not going to go to land war in europe over crimea, but one can certainly argue that the u.s. has been to the rating on a position out of strikes. the only administration problem we have seen is the russian officials who were allegedly involved in the invasion as if they all wanted to go to disneyland and this is going to mess up their vacation. we had prepared to seize their routes in u.s. banks but we have not actually done that yet. the one positive step is that as this is played out, it seems that the europeans are finally getting on board, angela merkel,

the chancellor of germany, who has been very slow to get on the idea of tough sanctions, finally late this week spoke to the german parliament about set iti things limiting the economy. at least they finally have gotten the your peeeuropeans on >> dictators invade another country and take control of oil fields and we are just going to sit back and watch it all unfold. >> the other thing is obviously nato and those countries, particularly in the eastern edge of nato, like poland and the baltic states are nervous if putin is going to do this in ukraine, could he conceivably go do it there? so it's like arguing with an ump at a baseball game, you may not be able to reverse that call but let the aump think twice before

lives, where they are both doing the same thing inside and outside the home. and until we get to that place where the marketplace has 50% women at the top and the home has 50% of men in them -- >> so white-washing gender, essentially. we have to do the exact same thing. >> and to you and i, a regular person not married to the feminist ideology, we don't think of living identical lives. we think of it in terms of what we value, we are obviously of equal value, but we are so different as people. and as men and women. so we need to take that into account when we look at things like why there aren't more women at the top. that's one of the questions we'll address today. so sheryl sandberg makes three arguments as to why there are not more women in the workplace. the first one is an age-old one, and that's sexism.

just rampant discrimination going on. and so that's why women can't get ahead. that's number one. number two, workplaces don't offer enough parental leave or childcare to allow women to get ahead. and number three is that men are not pulling their weight at home, husbands are not pulling their weight at home, but in fact since 1965 men have tripled the amount of work, excuse me, the amount of time they spend with their children, tripled, and doubled the amount of time spent on housework. so the question really is, where is the time going to come from? if you're doing all the stuff at home and you're going to work, how -- we need to start understanding that time is the enemy. it's not men or employers or the government, it's not the way the system is rigged. there's just so much time in the day, and we have to work together to get it all done. and to respect each other's role and not try to either one-up each other or just get to the faux version of equality by forcing more women into fields, for example, that they are not interesting in. >> you are saying most women

don't want what sheryl sandberg wants. >> that's exactly what i'm saying. >> sheryl sandberg also writes about not knowing the parents of her kids at school. she's not even familiar with the friends or engaged with the friends and she says she knows every one of mother employees, she knows the spouses of employees, but when it comes to the kids and the people at the nursery school or whatever, she's not engaged there. but it is more important to know the spouses at work than the parents of the kids. it's priorities. >> and most women are not that way. if that's what you want, great, but to pressure women, i see this as pressure. she sees it as empowerment. this is not empowerment to, a, tell women they are sivictims, need to change it so you can be successful. a victim message is not empowering, number one. second of all, she's thinking she's empowering women to be more -- it's a sign to help people be more assertive at work, i have no problem with that, but the pressure if you do

want to have a family, get married and have children, the pressure to also be a ceo simultaneously is just overwhelming. women can't keep up with giving birth, raising babies and being ceos simultaneously. >> bottom line, you say it's a competitive problem, that they are making, like with this ban bossy campaign that everyone is buzzing about. and the idea that little girls who are called bossy are then discouraged from becoming leaders and that's why we don't have the top ceos and politicians, but you say it's pitting women against men and we need to be working with one another? >> we need to be working with one another and honoring what men and boys bring to the table, that's unique from what women and girls bring to the table and not suggest that one is less than the other. they are just different. it's equal but different. that's the key. we have to stop assuming or suggesting that men or that one is somehow preferable to the other so we have to change the

system to make it so thatter with all -- >> mediocre ceos like chershery sandbe sandberg. a businessman that's fighting back to stand up for his rights. and yes, we did build that. and now we are giving it away to the rest of the world? the obama administration is about to hand over control of the internet. we'll explain this one. ♪ peace of mind is important when you're running a business. century link provides reliable it services like multi-layered security solution to keep your information safe & secure. century link. your link with what's next.

good morning. we are back with a fox news alert. confirmation from malaysia's prime minister that the disappearance of flight 370 was a deliberate act. >> so the investigation now has turned to the 239 people who were on board that airplane, specifically the two pilots. >> and our next guest told us this week he believed the plane was taken. joining us is fox news military analyst lieutenant general tom mcnerney. general, nice to see you and welcome back to the show. >> thank you for having me, clayton. >> general, your thoughts resonated the most this week. you were a day ahead of the malaysian authorities coming out saying that this thing was a deliberate act and it now seems certain your predictions were correct. >> well, it was certainly confirmed by the malaysian prooirms, clayton, 24 hours after we talked about it on "fox and friends" friday morning at

6:20. >> right. and now we know a couple of things, right? we know the transponders were shut off at separate moments and now the flight track seems to have evaded radar, specifically. what do you make of the latest developments this morning, general? >> well, first of all, the 634 runways that you put out there, i think we're looking at the wrong place. i still believe it's pakistan or iran. i believe it is terrorism, radical islam involved. this is not some offshoot, but i could be wrong, i'm speculating. and i think that if we looked at runways of 7500 feet or greater length and a large hanger, because that airplane has to go into a hanger, it's not going to be on a remote island anywhere where it can be picked up. so i think that's where we aught to focus. now i'm speculating, but i don't think we want to look in new york city, and i don't think we want to look in a lot of other places. let's look where the crucibel of

radical islam is, and i believe that's iran or parts of pakistan. >> i want to ask you if you think investigators are looking in the right place, in the cockpit and also at the passengers and crew, or could it potentially be somebody who came in at the last minute and was in one of the jump suits or got into the cockpit under false pretenses, is that a possibility? >> that's a possibility, anna, and that's why we need to know who was on the passenger list, what the information we have on each one of those individuals says, and automatically you have to look very closely at the pilot and co-pilot. there are certain indications on the co-pilot that i believe could be associated with radical islam, but i don't have all that information. so the reason we speculate is so we can look for the key points that we're hunting for. i believe nsa has a lot of the

meta data they are going through. other allies should be contributing radar data, et cetera. we know we are getting a lot out of rolls royce and the manufacturer. and really we are not getting enough out of malaysian airlines or out of the malaysian government. >> so general, i want to ask you about another story, the president's proposed cuts to the military budget. one veterans group estimate this is means for the average career enlisted guy a cut of $5,000 per year. and, at the same time, the president is demanding this belt-tightening from the military and is flying around the country spending tens of millions of tax dollars to operate air force one in order to raise money for the democratic party. do you see hypocrisy there? >> yes, i do. and the fact is is that obamacare because of the out-of-control costs are not only wrecking the best health care system in the world, but it's also a threat to our national security. because we are unilaterally disarming.

we have undoubtedly taken that step and we've taken almost a trillion dollars out of the defense budget in the last five years. and that is a very dangerous signal. and that's why i believe this is going on in crimea and in the eastern ukraine. they are very dangerous but they are reading what we are doing and we are unilaterally disarming. >> do you think that the troop reduction numbers also threat our national security? >> absolutely. those reduction numbers were coming out of afghanistan, we're out of iraq, you are bring part of the core structure down, but not to the levels we are bringing them down. as well as our air force and our navy. and the american people in the marine corps must understand that for the last five years we have been unaprocessed of unilateral disarmament. it is very dangerous to the worlds. >> thanks a lot, general. we appreciate your views this morning. >> thank you. >> thanks, general.

seven minutes after the general. we have other stories making headlines at this hour. the obama administration is about to hand over control of the internet to the rest of the world. the commerce department announcing it will give up its oversight that manages technical function and website addresses. so what does it mean for government? they have censored the internet in their count in this? michael warren of "the weekly standard" joining us earlier with his take on the decision. >> there's all kinds of problems with that when you allow governments that sensor the internet and sort of withhold information from their citizens via the internet, giving them control of it is -- there's some problems there and reasons to be concerned. >> so basically you are saying the obama administration believes china has the moral authority in this conversation. >> well, this move is seen as a response to the government's control of the internet in light of nsa surveillance. a gun store owner in california is standing up for his second amendment rights. alcohol, tobacco and firearms

agents have threatened to raid his business if he doesn't hand over a list of customers who purchased items for building an ar-15 assault rifle at a home. the atf says the parts are illegal because they are made of plastic and don't follow the guidelines. the agency demanded the names of 5,000 customers but the store owner refused. check out this video, caught on camera. the moment a shark turns on a scuba diver and attacks. the diver is filming an underwater experience in the caribbean and says the reef shark came out of nowhere and just wouldn't leave him alone. you can see him fighting the shark off there with the spear. fortunately, the diver was not lunch. and talk about a st. paddy's day surprise for this air force family. sergeant justin bright home early after his fifth tour in afghanistan surprising his wife and son. >> oh, my god, i was so surprised. i want expecting him on monday. i was not expecting this, so this is amazing to me.

oh, my god, i am so happy. >> having a hard time holding it together. sergeant bright said he planned this for seven months. he'll be home for another year until his next deployment and plans to spend a lot of time with his family. we wish him well. >> seven deployments, that's giving an awful lot. rick reichmuth is outside. >> it is actually a little chill byly, but i'm at the point in the year when i'm not wearing a coat anymore. >> you're in denial. >> it happens every year, i'm not going to do it, but i need it. some people bring little signs and some people really step up their game. not bad. so i imagine that you watch a little bit of fox news. >> absolutely. we watch it every day and enjoy it and are happy to be here today. >> this is pretty official looking and awesome. folks at home when thinking of coming here now, you have to bring a bigger game from now on. nicely done. thank you, guys. take a look at the weather maps

the world, i think that was refreshing and i think people were moved by it. and all the images we have seen since then, the embrace of the poor, the disfigured, paying his bill at the hotel, those images have persisted. unfortunately, i think they have become so large and loomed so large in this narrative we are missing the repeated themes that this pope is sounding all the time. and that is a concern for me. because as you look back, you see journalists, particularly, thinking that the pope is into demolitions and rebuilding when actually he's into preservation. that's kind of his job, to preserve christian and catholic teaching. and from the headlines, you're not really getting that. >> i got to say, that picture of him hugging the man missing the most of his face, it was enough to make me convert to catholicism, it was wonderful. you're saying his theology is not a departure from the previous couple of popes. >> there's a lot of consistency between john paul ii and tucker,

i was there for both of the pontiffs, i covered benedict and john paul. john paul also was routinely hugging the disfigured, meeting with sick people, went out to all ends of the earth as no pope had before. he was just not given and there weren't the platforms available to francis today, but when you look at what he's saying, he decries this throw-away culture and talks about us ignoring the elderly and disposing of innocent human life. these are very consistent themes. and i think that also gives us some insight as to where he's really taking the church. i can't imagine he'll overthrow centuries of catholic teaching, which he can't do, and still using this message of we're part of a throw-away culture, that would make him a throw-away pope, and i doubt that's the path he's on here. and he talks about the devil, satan, a lot, and that receives virtually no coverage. people often forget he's a moral leader and not a political one from the coverage. >> yeah, they certainly do, but boy, that throw-away stuff, that's a message the world needs

hello and good morning. today is sunday, the 16th of march, 2014. i'm anna coyman. a fox news alert. the search for that missing malaysian jet expanding right now. the new questions emerge, could it have been an inside job? a pilot gone roug? what we have just learned about the men behind the controls. >> and the people of crimea headed to the polls this morning. their country's future hanging in the balance. what will they choose? will they choose to be ruled by vladimir putin? we'll have the very latest on that. >> call him cat houdini. i'm sorry, i've got green glitter all over my forehead. happy st. paddy's day.

watch this thing, it's a video of a clawing cat. this isn't the first time he's made this escape. "fox & friends" hour four starts right now. >> witty kitty. >> well, we begin this hour with a fox news alert. the maybe was fit to fly. this morning, malaysian airline officials say that flight, flight 370 went through all proper security checkpoints before takeoff on march 18th. >> so what happened? officials continue to investigate the 239 people on board the plane, including the pilot. >> peter is live for us in washington with the latest on what is turning out to be one of the most remarkable stories any of us has ever covered. peter, what do you know? >> right now, authorities have three theories about what caused flight 370 to vanish. hijacking, sabotage or personal

problems with whoever was at the controls in the cockpit. and this comes on the same morning that we learned that the two pilots did not request to fly with each other on the night 370 went missing. which means if they were part of an advanced plot, they didn't leave much of a paper trail. yesterday for the first time since 370 disappeared, investigators entered the homes of the two pilots to see if there's anything suspicious inside. one thing of particular interest is the fancy flight simulator inside one of the pilot's homes. now they're trying to figure out if there was any unusual or suspicious practicing taking place in that home with that simulator, but so far, no word on any wrongdoing. and that pilot's friends say he's just an enthusiastic guy who likes to take the job home with him. the size of the search party, desperately trying to find the missing boeing 777 has nearly doubled in the last day. 25 countries now joining the efforts, compared to 14 yesterday. but because try ang ewe lating

the plane's final position is impossible without additional satellite information, malaysian authorities are asking other governments and private companies for any data they might have. until they get it, though, the search is split equally between a north grid and a south grid. the north extends up to kazakhstan and the south sprendz out to remote parts of the indian ocean. as for the families of the missing 239 people on board, they are begging officials for more conclusive information. they want closure. many are complaining now that it's hard to grieve if there's a possibility their loved one is alive. back to you. >> peter duceyw live for us in washington. thanks for that summation on the latest. we appreciate it. as this investigation continues, what information can we actually rely on? >> joining us now is former faa senior official scott brenner. good morning. thanks for being with us, scott. >> good morning. >> so are we looking in the right place with the 239 people

on board? it seems like they're focusing really on the cockpit, on the pilot, as well. is that where we should be focusing our efforts? >> no, absolutely. and i think we should have been focusing on this for quite some time now. i mean, early on, we understood that just prior to checking out with malaysian air traffic control, somebody on board that aircraft turned off the a-car system. that is, again, the information that relays data back down to the airline about how that airplane is functioning. shortly thereafter, we have the malaysian pilot signing off with air traffic control saying good night. and then somebody turns off the transponder. i'd like to figure out who it was that said good night to air traffic control because i think that would give us a good clue. >> one of the most baffling elements about this so far are the elevation on the aircraft. at one point, it's at 45,000 feet, another another point, 29,000, at one point, it dropped something like 40,000 feet in a

minute. i'm not even sure that that's possible. what do you make of this data? >> i'm very skeptical. what they're trying to do now, now that the transponder had turned off, they're relying on primary radar which is, again, is like sending out a signal and having that signal bounce back and trying to do some basic math on where that aircraft is. so when they were talking about these great elevation changes, they were really on the very edge of radar capability. and they're making great assumptions on where that aircraft is going and how fast that aircraft is going. as you say, going from 40,000 feet down to 29,000 or 28,000 feet in less than a minute, i don't think the aircraft could with stand that type of g force. it would have to be going at least the speed of sound to make that kind of decline. >> so let's talk about the investigation process right now. this is over a week, right? so what sort of precedent do we have for what kind of debris might be left as a result of this crash like this? how widespread over a large area

might it be? as far as investigators go, what are they up against? >> i mean, the biggest challenge for investigators right now are trying to get accurate information and trying to get full cooperation from the malaysians as well as anybody else who may have some data out there. i mean, normally when we go into a crash situation, we tend to start limiting the field we're looking to. in this case, we're expanding it on a regular basis. now, most folks that i'm talking to believe this aircraft came back over the malaysian peninsula and continued flying for another six or seven hours down towards the indian ocean, not up north to where it could have landed. we could have a potential debris field with seven or eight days old with a lot of heavy pieces sinking down to the bottom and anything that could float being disbursed hundreds of miles from the crash site. >> we have a map i think of about 600 runways that could accommodate a 777.

why are we so sure it didn't land on one of these islands? some of them are small and pretty remote. >> sure. and not to rule anything out, but again, the aircraft, they they continue to get a pinging from the aircraft for about another seven hours. a lot of these places where it could have landed, those countries have pretty sophisticated radar systems and probably would have seen much more than what we've seen through the malaysian radar. >> aside from -- >> not to rule it out, but -- >> aside from the mystery of this, everybody's interested in it from that standpoint. what is the future of flying for us? how is this story going to be affecting all of us here in the united states? >> you know, again, aviation continues to be the safest form of transportation out there. i mean, just -- i was pulling up some numbers the other day. 36 million commercial flights last year. 200 fatalities, approximately, and about 110 of those were commercial aircraft related. >> right.

but as far as security goes and things like that, are we going to see changes because of this? >> you would hope we would try and get more international cooperation. just on the passport issue, which has proven to be nothing at all, but the simple fact that folks are able to travel on altered or fraudulent passports should be an alarming issue for everybody. >> i want to ask you about what happens when the plane may have hit the water. we talked to michael kay earlier on the show, he brought up a great point, that i guess the saltwater triggers something specific once this device hits the water. they haven't received any of that information to our knowledge, right? this idea that that wasn't triggered because of saltwater hitting it, isn't that a red flag? >> i don't think it has anything to do with the saltwater. those devices -- and you're talking about basically the black box where, you know, once that hits water, that beacon activates. and it will send out a beam every second for 30 days. and so those things are

incredibly robust, very strong, so i don't know what the saltwater would have to do with it. >> or water in general, i suppose. >> i think the idea was it was activated by contact with water. but can i go back quickly to what you said. we sort of alighted over it. but the fact that there are two iranian nationals on fake passports on this plane and everyone seems to be like, it's type, it's okay. iran is one of the most consistent sponsors of terror in the world. why aren't we concerned about these guys? >> i think -- again, i'm not the official when it comes to state department diplomacy and secrecy and all that. but they did check these guys out. one was going to copenhagen, one was in germany. one whose mother was in germany, she had already claimed asylum. it is troubling. it comes down to the data is out there for me countries to accept and to download on to their systems when they're checking

passports. these passports were clearly reported stolen and yet folks were still able to fly using stolen passports. >> scott brenner, thank you so much. >> thank you all. >> questions continue here this morning. >> sure do. >> i'm sure as the day unfolds, we'll keep you updated. >> i wouldn't want two iranians with fake passports flying on a plane i was on. >> obviously, it is criminal activity if they're using stolen passport ones. it could be drug smuggling or a number of other things. we have some other stories making headlines this hour. we begin with another alert. the ukrainian prime minister said the government will find and bring all separatists ring leaders to justice. this as the people of crimea are voting right now on whether to join russia or become an independent state. the vote is considered separatist and illegitimate by the acting ukrainian government and the west but is still expected to pass because of crimea's strong ties to russia. we'll have a live report on the

progress of that vote at 9:30 from kiev. and a father murdered on a business trip in the bahamas. 45-year-old carl yerger was stabbed multiple times. investigators calling the murder a random act of violence. four might know men have been taken into custody, but so far, no one has been charged. crews in new york cleaning up after last week's deadly gas explosion have now reached the basement enabling investigators to look for crews about what sparked the explosion that killed eight people. meanwhile, among the ashes, crews found a bible still intact belonging to a church destroyed by the blast. the community says the bible is a symbol they will rebuild. how about that? a great story. did you guys hear about this? the hillary files, more hillary files just released, brand new insight in the clinton white house that you've never heard before. and the more you know, this

correctly predicting the 1994 election, contract with america at that time under newt gingrich, he knew they were about to get whipped. >> yes. that's very typical of president clinton, if you had seen him. he has a razor sharp mind, but in political matters, it's particularly acute. and months before the election, he was telling everyone, we are going to lose this. and i think his view was that his base was not properly marshalled and that the opposition was really on a rampage. >> here was one of the quotes from bill clinton at that time. this of course all in secret. he wrote this. there is no organization. there is no energy. there's no anything out there. referring to the get out the vote effort. >> yeah. well, you know, clayton, there's a lot of hyperbole in these materials. and a lot of kind of tentative stuff. but the main point is, bill clinton is a superb observer of the political scene as he is

today and he was then. >> he also knew very much that the gop was organized, well trained. in fact, take a look at this quote. this is what he said on this. they're organized, they're working and our cultural base, they just walked off. >> right. >> that's a bit of an overstatement, but the fact of the matter is that they came in in 1994, big time. newt became the speaker of the house and look at what happened two years later when it really went out the window for the republicans because of the shutdown of government and because of their policy decisions. >> right. and 2000, of course, we all remember the florida recount. some fascinating things emerged from the clinton camp out of that. tell us about that. >> well, i think the most interesting thing is that the president, in commenting on the outcome on december 14th, 2000, he was in england when he made these statements, refused and declined to credit sooiticize t

supreme court of the united states. as you know, bush versus gore is a case that most people on our side of the fence believe was wrongly decided and gave the election to george bush when the biggest vote went to gore. but because gore indicated, look, let's move on, i think the cue was taken by president clinton. so he said let's move on and did not criticize the supreme court, bush versus gore, which is an interesting historical fact. presidents of united states have to show some restraint. >> right. >> and the importance of moving on with our new president, george w. bush, was greater to him than the policy mistakes of the supreme court. >> here is what the president said at the time in disease after that supreme court decision. president clinton wrote this. he scratched this off of a speech just as a fabric torn and repaired becomes stronger than before. so he scratched that out.

>> he did. that left-handed script. he took that out because of what i feel was an appropriate restraint to move the country ahead. and then he added this. too negative, never torn apart by this remain strong because the constitution is strong, in his shorthand. >> that's right. that's right. >> then on hillary clinton, much is made or a lot of people wondering politically what more will come out on hillary clinton. interesting on her detractors here. take us through the hillary clinton part of this. >> well, i think hillary clinton, the detractors are extremely disappointed by this release. because there's nothing in there that in any way impugns her or suggests anything negative about her. and they're combing through this and on the other side the republicans are trying to find something. what i think is of interest that has been mentioned here on fox and otherwise is that there is a

memo in the first week of the administration advising on the subject of health care, which is something that hillary championed. there was no evidence, nor did fox report, that mrs. clinton ever saw this memo. but it did describe what the techniques should be and might be to get through health care. the importance is that hillary clinton at that stage was a strong proponent of a fair and just health care system. they never got the outcome that they wanted. but it certainly is interesting that in 1993 the administration and mrs. clinton wanted to get a fair health care system for all americans. and i think that's something that she's always championed and that she cannot proud of. >> tom, thanks so much for digging through these 4,000 pages of documents and pulling out some real gems for us. >> it's a pleasure. it's history. >> it is history, thanks.

>> thank you. coming up here, the third time wasn't the charm. she failed her driving test twice and on her next try, well, this happened. and forget separating kids by grade level. do it by skill level. some schools are doing it, but is it a good idea? we'll have a fair and balanced debate on your schools. gunderman group is a go.

yes! not just a start up. an upstart. gotta get going. gotta be good. good? good. growth is the goal. how do we do that? i talked to ups. they'll help us out. new technology. smart advice. we focus on the business and they take care of the logistics. ups? good going. we get good. that's great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great. (all) great! i love logistics.

to go where others dare not tread. it is time for news by the numbers. 918,000, that's how many calls are being recalled by honda and chrysler. honda recalling 900,000 odyssey minivans due to the possibility of leaky fuel pumps. chrysler recalling 18,000 of the fiat l models over faulty automatic transmissions. next up, $201 million, the

largest life insurance policy ever purchased was bought by a still unnamed silicone valley billionaire who took seven months and 19 insurance companies to underwrite that policy and now it's in place. finally, a california driver taking her third driver's test. she hit the gas instead of the brake and crashes into -- wait for it -- the dmv. that in turn caused a gas leak, forcing the dmv to evacuate. no word on whether she got her license. we'll let you speculate. anna. >> all right, tucker. shaking up the classrooms, school district necessary california no longer have a seventh grade or any grade for that matter. instead, it has content level seven. it's based on the idea that students learn at their own pace after mastering material, but it's content based learning. joining us now, fox news contributor jedadia and rachel.

good morning, ladies. >> good morning. >> dead die y jed die ya, i'm going to start with you. this limits failing kids? >> yeah. and it let's kids progress at their own rate. instead of teachers walking into a classroom and have one set lesson plan for everyone, they have to vault these students on an individual basis, put them into groups, have different lesson plans and be on top of where their students are in a number of different areas at any given time. so i think it challenges kids, it challenges teachers and keeps parents informed of where their kids in.

and at schools, so it's really hard, number one. but number two, there's this thing called credit recovery where kids are basically put in front of a xurtd for a couple of hours and put in answers and they get credit for that. it makes them look really good because they're held accountable at both the state and federal levels for having a high graduation rate. this is a way for them to plump up their graduation rate and i think it threatens the integrity of our k-12 education system when we allow kids to plot through by clicking buttons on a computer and getting credit. we're not doing it well yet.

>> if you wanted to plump up, you know, graduation rates and teachers are looking to pass kids no matter what, i think that's going to happen across the board. i've done this kind of thing in classrooms. i taught foreign language, for example. i taught spanish for years and i had to break the classroom up because there were kids that were good at oral exercises, good at written exercises. so without doing this formally, i was doing it without realizing it and i found it to be a very successful technique. you have to have the proper testing, i agree. if you have testing that's going to be sort of basic and not really -- sort of look to push kids ahead, regardless of their performance, that's not going to work. if you have teachers that aren't on board with this and feel like it's too much work for them to walk into a classroom and do all kinds of things, that's not going to work. i think with the right formula, it could be successful. with the wrong formula, it's failing. let's get in and try to switch things up and see what we can do because right now, kids aren't doing so great in our educational system so it's worth

a shake-up, in my opinion. >> jedediah, amber, thank you so much for your time. not to mention how developmentally kids are in different stages, as well. 20 minutes after the hour and next on the rundown here, brand new threat to america straight from al qaeda. and think you've seen it all when it comes to gold pet products? forget about it. the coolest new gadgets for men's best friend, you'll see them first on "fox & friends."

welcome back. we have a fox news alert now inside the cockpit. this morning, ma laishan airline officials say they are focusing the investigation into missing malaysian airlines flight 370 to the 239 people on board this as police raid the homes of the pilot and a cohighlight. one pilot owning a very elaborate flight simulator. now authorities are looking into whether the simulator was used in practice in part of the plane's disappearance. >> whoever took that plane, and i believe it to be the pilot, may have been seeking -- actively seeking a midair collision. whether through suicide or terrorism. >> authorities say they have three theories about what caused the flight to crash or vanish.

terrorism, sabotage or personal problems with whoever was at the controls in the cockpit. but experts say they can't rule out other possibilities. >> the two plausible conclusions are that it landed somewhere or it's crashed into the sea or into the ground. and at the moment, there's contradictory evidence to say, well, if it crashed into the sea, the elts would have gone off or if it landed into the ground, somebody is like leg to have seen or reported it. >> 25 countries now joining the effort. they're focused on two areas, north up to the kazakhstan border or south to the remote parts of the indian ocean. >> the 634 runways that you put out there, i think we're looking at the right place. i still believe it's pakistan or iran. i believe it is terrorism radical islam involved. >> officials saying the plane was fit to fly, it passed all the proper security checkpoints before taking off on march the 8th. >> he makes a great point about

the size of the runway, too. about 650 feet and the speed it would need to be hidden inside a hangar, as well. so still more on questions than we have answers for this morning. >> really, the most compelling story i think we've covered it. now to another fox news alert, polls open in crimea's referendum vote as voters decide whether to remain part of an independent state or become part of russia. the prime minister of ukraine said he will bring those asking for a separate to justice. >> good afternoon, amy. >> hi, clayton and anna. and i have to say that -- crimea -- anyways -- here in ukraine because all of the elation and the propaganda and military aggression is really serving to drive people apart. you walk around here and there's

as much russian spoken as ukraine. so, in fact -- here and do share a lot in all -- >> satellite. >> she is in ukraine now. >> we'll get more on that. >> sorry about that. >> the updates are that voting is continuing there this afternoon and it appears to be going, she says, down the barrel of a gun basically people being sort of forced to vote this way and that way. >> we're watching sort of a slow motion version of a collision here between the russian government and that of ukraine. >> and para troopers, russian para troopers have landed inside the country. imagine having to go vote under those types of conditions. >> it's just expected to go the direction of russia. we have some other stories making headlines, as well. scary new threats in al qaeda, there's a new english language magazine out and fire and they're calling for more car bomb attacks on american cities. the magazine, it even gives

instruction toes make the car bomb and details of that city, time to attack, including election season, christmas and new year's eve. the magazine specifically lists washington, d.c., new york, northern virginia, chicago, and los angeles. so much for the affordable public universities. the cost of education has gone up so much, some students are forced to go to food banks to keep from going hungry. some schools are even opening up their own pantries on campus and many are saying, though, it's tip critical. they argue that colleges wouldn't need pantries if they didn't raid tuition or continue to build fancy dorm rooms and stadiums. call him the king of invasion. check out this cat. his name is marshmallow. the cunning kitty learning to unlock his cage lives in a french animal clinic. according to workers, no matter what cage they stick him in, the witty feline always manages to escape. >> no joke, one night at dinner, rick, and i'm sure you can weigh

in on this. we're sitting at dinner, the doorbell rings, go downstairs and the cat was on the milk jug outside and had pressed the doorbell to be brought in the house. >> did you let him in? >> whiskers, he came in and he wanted some dinner. no joke, he rang the doorbell. >> and he wants out. take a look at this, very heavy rain and tornado threats today from around new orleans through the panhandle of florida. just get ready if you're in the panhandle of florida around pensacola and towards mobile, could see a threat of a small tornado moving through. the north side of that, you're seeing snow across north kansas. tomorrow, flights towards the east. it's from jacksonville down to around port charlotte. it includes all of that central coast of florida on both sides. then there's the snowy side to this storm. so the north side of on it, we've got a lot of cold air in place. and where that cold air hits all

of this moisture, we're going to be talking about snow. so unfortunately we have another snowstorm startinging d.c. this time, another 4 to 8 inches of snow. >> that's unbelievable. >> i would say thank you, but i wouldn't mean it. >> that's true. >> i know it. >> thank you, rick. americans splurged on their pets last year, spending a whooping $65 billion. and now there are more than 3,000 new pet products to buy thanks to global pet expo just wrapped up in orlando. >> here to show us some of the best veterinarian dr. lenser. you have brought us the highlights. >> some great stuff. this is for dogs addicted to catching the ball called an i-fetch. it won the second best in the product category. drop it in there. all right. drop it in and our buddy, corey here might just chase after it. we've got a little dog here. >> this is awesome.

>> isn't that cool? >> he took off after it. there you go. you can shoot and it they go nuts. there goes my corey. >> for incredibly lady dog owners. >> yeah. >> ifetch, right? >> so what is this? >> this is my favorite new product. it's called tooth detail anti-oxidant oral gel. it's a breath freshener, does a fantastic job and jasper loves it. this is my dog. and they lick it right off your finger and it's just one lick a day and it takes bad breath away. >> really? >> yes. >> and jasper likes it? >> yes. and it's loaded with great plan based things. >> isn't that so nice? yeah. now, you can get it at their website, toothdetail.com. you want to make sure your dog doesn't have serious dental disease because that's the number one issue with bad breath.

and the dirty water comes out from the bottom. look at the fish food & poop and everything is coming up from the bottom. >> did you say poo on p? >> i did. but i'm a vet tearan. i'm allowed to say that. and look at how much cleaner this is now. >> that is so brilliant, i can't even stand it. >> yeah. so that's called the no clean aquarium. so you're not going to wash your fix down the sink when you're cleaning it. >> not at all. beta fish are really nice and they're pretty hearty so they can handle room temperature. >> so you've got three dogs over here. >> we've got a fashion show going on over here. our shety is wearing a full body suit by zippy dynamic. it keeps them warm and dry. >> how embarrassed are they? >> i think she's proud. but she's super excited about wearing her little boots. >> she won't look at the camera. she is fought proud. >> the little leopard high top shoes are adorable. they're from jcla boutique.

look at how the media has been covering the story of malaysian flight 370. joining us now, howard kurtz. nice to see you this morning. >> same here. >> first, as an aside, have you ever in your years of covering a media story seen a story this crazy? >> no. and it's absolutely bizarre. i understand the fascination with it. everybody has a theory, what happened to this plane? how could it disappear? did it land? did it crash? 239 people on board. but i think much of the media coverage has veered seriously off course as so much speculation, some of it reckless, has come to filled up all the airtime being devoted to this stories. >> here are some of the inaccuracies. reports of an airplane tail that turned out to be logs tied together. possible oil slick that had no ties to the aircraft. three large objects off

vietnam's southern coast turned out to be nothing at all. >> there have been a lot of mistakes and a lot of false alarms. cnn, which has devoted the most airtime of this story and has gotten a significant bump in the ratings the other day was talking about lithium batteries in the cargo and whether that could have been responsible for the crash. everybody is speculating about the pilotes and now that the malaysian authorities have searched the homes of these pilots. these are legitimate questions to be raised, but when there's endless pundits come on the air and throwing identity maybe the plane is in pakistan, it troubles me because we don't know. journalism is supposed to be about the stories we do know and what we have verified. now it's reporting on speculation by u.s. authorities or officials who themselves are trying to piece together this puzzle. >> so what should the role of the media be in a situation like this? after all, it's like an x-files

story. so many possible outcomes here that when you have experts who are tapping into their great wealth of wisdom that they've had for many years, maybe 30 years as an airline instructor or something and they're putting these pieces together for us because gosh knows i don't know, what should the role of the media be in that situation? >> well, i think these are all questions to be pursued, but some of them should be pursued off camera. when you put people on, who say i think it is this, i think it was a hijacking, i think it was the pilot, remember we thought the two forged passports of those passengers might have had something to do with this plane's disappearance. i just think we have to be carefully cautious in this 24-hour era of saying things on the air that we don't know whether or not they are true and i'm seeing too much that goes in the other direction. >> so my ufo theory, we'll put that one out there, too. howie, what's coming up on media buzz today? we are going to talk more about the coverage of this missing plane and talk about the investigative reporter who left

cbs, cheryl atkinson and why she felt compelled to leave. >> media buzz, 11:00 a.m. eastern time. thanks so much. great to see you. >> thank you. coming up here on the comi the best drinks with whiskey and beer, just in time for st. patty's day. the reason i got out of bed this morning.

champagne flute, ladies first. >> why did he hand that to you then? >> it's 50-50 guinness and irish whiskey. >> mixed together? >> mixed together. >> they go together well. >> they go together well. we've seen a lot more of craft beers and guinness being one of the oldest craft beers and bush mill being around since 1868. it was a nice way to bring them both together. >> classy. >> i wouldn't have thought a mojito would have been a traditional irish way to go. >> it doesn't have an irish spin. >> but we travel well. we are island people at the end of the day. it's something we're seeing a lot more twists on classics or modern expressions of popular drinks. >> how does it work? so with the gentleman's mojito what we will do is take some limes so three or four lime pieces. we basically squeeze them right in here, same as you would a

mojito and we'll take some nice fresh mint. we'll break it up so it releases its own arrow mas. we're going to use aga va syrup. >> this is like a mojito so far. >> yes, except i think we make it a whole lot better by the introduction of bush mills. an ounce and a half of irish whiskey. >> can i model it? >> you can model it. we're add one more ingredient, compliment it with a couple of ounces of guinness in here. >> we'll be enjoying these in the after the show show. >> you can model that. >> more "fox & friends" coming up right after this break. don't go anywhere.
