9:00 am
go to our facebook page. i hope you'll like it. we conduct a lot of conversations there. and check out our new redesigned home page, foxnews.com/mediabuzz. we're back here next sunday morning 11:00 and 5:00 eastern with the latest buzz. we begin with a fox news alert on the missing malaysian airlines jet. malaysian investigators now focusing on the backgrounds of the pilots, the crew, and the ground staff, who worked on that jetliner, still looking for any clues as to why someone on board would possibly fly it off course. and malaysian officials now confirming this was a deliberate act. hi, everybody. i'm jamie colby. welcome to america's news headquarters. >> and hello on this sunday. i'm eric shawn. there is still no sign of that boeing 777. this as 11 countries now join the desperate international search effort. that brings the total number of nations to 25.
9:01 am
more than two dozen that are now all contributing intelligence, planes, and vessels to the hunt, which has expanded to a massive geographical area. the huge search effort now focusing on two separate possible flight paths. take a look at them. one as far north as kazakhstan and far south and west out to the indian ocean. streaming live from bangkok, thailand with the very latest. david? >> reporter: hi, eric. yes. as you said, the search operation has become massive, covering large areas of land and sea. 25 nations are involved. but investigators seem to have found? clues as to where the plane has gone. they say from looking at satellite datate plane flew on either a northern or southern arc for several hours after it turned away from its original route to beijing. the area that it covers is colossal as far as kazakhstan to the north and deep into the indian ocean to the south. u.s. and indian ships and planes are taking the lead to search
9:02 am
the plane in the sea and they're also look at the possibility it managed to reach land in one of 11 countries. >> malaysian officials are requesting support from these countries as well as others. this support includes general satellite data, radar playbook, both primary and secondary, provisions for ground, sea, and aerial search, and assets as appropriate. >> reporter: the malaysian government has said there's a high degree of certainty that somebody switched off the tracking deviceses on the plane before it changed direction. the focus of the investigation is now on the crew and passengers. malaysian police have been searching the homes of the two pilots on the missing plane and speaking with their families. they took away for analysis a flight simulator the chief pilot had built in his home. investigators are also going systematically through all the passengers on the plane for any red flags. some have already been cleared by the investigation, but they're still awaiting background checks on others.
9:03 am
they're also interviewing the ground crew and engineer who might have. aware of what was going on on that plane at the time it flew off over a week ago. back to you, eric. >> all right, david, and if there are any further developments we'll get back to you live in bangkok on that. many have been wondering in the past week just how could a big airliner have simply vanished? it has been over a week since the malaysia airline flight 370 disappeared. the mystery all began on saturday march 8th at 1:30 in the morning malaysian time. that's when air traffic controllers lost radio contact with the pilots. it was about an hour into the overnight flight that was flying from kuala lumpur to beijing. malaysia. air traffic control announced it was handing over the flight to the vietnamese air control just when the contact was lost. they say the final words from the cockpit the routine good-bye when pilots switch over to another air traffic control center, "all right. good night." everything appeared normal. they say not a single distress call was made from those pilots.
9:04 am
which raises the question did one of them possibly turn off the transponder? back in 1999, officials say, the co-pilot of an egyptian air 767 that was bound for cairo from jfk, they say he committed suicide in the cockpit by intentionally crashing that airliner right into the atlantic ocean. it smashed into the ocean off of nantucket. in the current case, though, many possibilities are currently being considered. and authorities have now turned their attention, as we've been reporting this morning, to investigating the pilots. dominique di natali is live in los angeles with that part of the story. dominik, what are we learning today? >> reporter: hey there, jamie. we are looking at news from malaysian authorities that that left-hand turn had been preprogrammed into the flight computer, raising an awful lot of questions. that's one of the reasons -- perhaps the main reason why investigators in malaysia took away the flight simulator, the
9:05 am
homemade flight simulator that the pilot zaharie ahmed shah had built. they're doing a study on that. they want to know why precisely he built it at home, what exactly he was doing on that flight simulator. you can see it on the screen behind him right now. and what they may discover from that. listen. >> simulator, flight simulator, and we have dismantled it from the home and we have assembled it at our office, and we are getting experts to look at it now. >> besides the pilot the investigators are also looking into any engineer who may have had access to the plane before it actually took off. the british newspaper "the mail" on sunday is saying that captain shah was an obsessive supporter of malaysia's jailed opposition leader. that raises a question of whether the disappearance of the flight could be linked to some form of political or ideological protest. listen. >> the malaysian government
9:06 am
releasing to us the information they have about those pilots. then we can build the case for is it a jihadist international network linked or is it just another situation, a suicide or personal derangement. >> and more new information regarding the switching off of that tracking system. apparently, the crew radioed to the malaysian traffic control after switching off the tracking system, telling the malaysian traffic control authorities that everything was okay. very suspicious. that's why the line of inquiry is who in the cockpit could have switched that off. did they do it voluntarily or were they actually under some form of duress in doing this? very finally, jamie, the malaysians appear to be opening up. we're seeing better information flow coming out of kuala lumpur. they want their neighbors to give them radio playback, they want also some satellite data, but their neighbors aren't cooperating much at the moment.
9:07 am
one of the reasons is just because of the cultural issues in the region, these are very secretive, these are very discreet nations, they don't want to reveal how much surveillance they have on their neighbors. right now indonesia and japan being very difficult about it. back to you. >> dominic dinatale in our los angeles bureau with those details. thank you. eric? >> jamie, a fox news alert on the developing story in the ukraine. people in the troubled region of crimea voting today, as we've been reporting, on that referendum to possibly split off and join russia. those polls close about two hours from now. and that controversial measures which really doesn't give the voters much of a choice is expected to pass and could lead to the russian legislature to vote potentially next week on having crimea join their country. western nations including the u.s. calling the proposal illegitimate, illegal, and a violation of international law. they may slap sanctions on russia starting tomorrow. the vote of course comes after weeks of fighting and occupation by pro-russian forces in crimea.
9:08 am
for the very latest let's go to amy kellogg who's streaming live from the ukrainian capital of kiev. amy? >> reporter: hi, eric. well, our sources in crimea say that the situation has actually become really nasty for people there who are not on board with the russian project. not, eric, just because of the large russian troop presence but because neighbors are now turning on neighbors and there's a lost vinl lanteeism that has sprung up out of nowhere. it is clear and it needs to be said that a lot of people down there do need to join russia. but it's hard to understand how the propaganda worked so quickly to make people think that the only alternative to joining russia was to be part of a fascist state. now, russians took more land last night. really a gap distribution system bordering crimea. there are a couple versions of what happened. troops initially said this was a "anti-terror" operation and then the pro-russian krimian
9:09 am
government said ukraine had cut off the gas to crimea so they needed to look after that on their own. now, crimea's loss apparently is a done deal. we expect that the vote will go to russia. but ukrainians are particularly worried now that russia will move next into eastern areas like kharkiv where there's been deadly clashes because they will say that ukraine has lost control. senator john mccain is visiting this weekend with seven other u.s. senators, and he said that that would be a total game changer. >> but i think it would be a breach of such enormous consequence that the united states of america and our european allies will be contemplating action that we have not ever in our relations with russia. >> so many questions, eric, about what the next steps will be for very many players in this and what also remains a real mystery is what the story is in places like kharkiv and donetsk,
9:10 am
the eastern areas. we've spoken to people from there who say they themselves don't even understand houp of these protests, these clashes between pro-ukrainian and pro-russian forces are provoked by russian agents possibly or to what extent they're simply organic. what is clear is that there is a problem in those eastern regions. eric. >> all right, amy, and we'll have much more on this at the bottom of the hour, what it means and where putin could be going next. amy kellogg live in kiev. jamie? this news broke late last week, that management of the internet could change, and it has many users, especially businesses, wondering what exactly might happen. it all began when the nous announced they had plans to possibly give up control of the system that assigns website addresses and directs other technical aspects of the net. all of it after pressure from the global community after the nsa surveillance controversy. while some critics say it may not affect your wallet, privacy
9:11 am
still may be a concern. >> i do believe in the long run this will have little impact on the individual consumer and that we will not allow other governments to take control. this is one thing the commerce department has said-s that they will not let this be a government-run administration. >> the u.n. has been salivating for this for years, trying to get its hands on the internet. and if people are worried about security, about cost, about safety, this is the last thing we should be doing. >> well, there you have it. fair and balanced. we're joined now by brenda butner, senior business correspondent on the fox business channel. it's great to have you here. i conducted both those interviews yesterday at different times, and i was very surprised. it was both ends of the spectrum. >> yeah. >> what are your concerns? or do you think this is the right move for the web? >> i think there are lots of questions and very few answers, but we do have some hints about what might happen. the issue with the internet is
9:12 am
on the one hand there's privacy and security. on the other hand there's use of censorship and free speech. and essentially what we're doing is handing this over to some unnamed governmental organization. global. now, name one global organization that is either fair or efficient. crickets. i mean, what? the u.n.? i think there's great concern because the countries that have been pushing for this, russia, china, not exactly known for their ability to allow speech to prosper. >> or protect information. >> absolutely. >> when you hear about cyber threats and cyber security and our government and certainly our military has really honed in on this being going forward one of the most serious threats to our nation. >> yeah. >> what's in it for the obama administration to even bring up the possibility of giving it up now? are they obligated to? >> no, i think they're trying
9:13 am
o'get ahead of this issue. they're not obligated to. the icann, which is the organization that is basically the web domain manager, has a contract with the commerce department until 2015. now, they could continue that. but there's been so much pressure globally. i think that's weighing on the obama administration. they don't have to do this. >> but they came out last week and said they are seriously considering it. >> yeah. >> what's the impact for wall street, or businesses? >> businesses, it's interesting because google, for example, came out and said this is going to happen, it's okay, we'll do it. but there are many, many businesses that are concerned about this, both for cost -- i mean, you just think about when you put a whole global organization, more fees, more regulation, that's exactly what businesses do not need. >> someone's going to make money if this moves forward. >> yeah. >> does the system work the way it is now? >> well, it's interesting. the internet, when it was first created from the government, it
9:14 am
was essentially run by one guy in southern california. >> that's amazing. >> and then it was handed over to this icann. now, there are some problems, and we're starting to see them. they basically give dot gov, dot edu, those names, those web domains. but we're starting to see a whole plethora of other ones like dot sucks, dot gay, dot books, and there's some concern there are going to be phony websites that could really foster scams. >> changed a whole generation, that internet. >> it sure did. >> but the concern about privacy and everything -- >> absolutely. >> thanks so much, brenda, for telling us about the business aspect of it. you definitely want to catch brenda buttner every single week on "bulls and bears" saturday on the fox business channel. she's awesome. have you heard about this? the white house announcing a new
9:15 am
way to shift that money around. conservatives blast this plan as a bailout that they say will cost us billions. but the administration says it will help insurance companies. a lawmaker explains which it is. and we're also learning that the search area for the missing malaysian jet is expanding along with the questions of what or who caused that plane to vanish without a trace. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to cf before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade
9:19 am
the latest on obamacare and the white house saying how they plan to help insurance companies that could be stuck with unexpected costs after the plan's rollout. they are outlining what they are calling risk corridors. a term that means there are provisions aimed at compensating insurance companies basically that end up with bigger costs than they had anticipated. it's another development as the march 31st deadline to sign up for obamacare is fast approaching. what does all this mean? with more on this we're joined by georgia republican congressman jack kingston, chairman of the health and labor services education committee and is a senior member of the defense appropriations subcommittee. lots of titles there, congressman kingston, but basically you're an expert on obamacare. what are they doing now? this is billions of hours.
9:20 am
what, to help insurance companies? >> absolutely. eric, in short this is just one more example of why obamacare is a disaster and needs to be replaced with a market-driven patient-centered health care system. it's done nothing but brought more government interference in the marketplace. this latest scheme is designed to really redistribute profits and losses. so if you obtain insurance through one of the state-run plans and your insurance company has too many losses they will assess another insurance company that's had too much profit and move the money around. so it is absolutely a bailout, absolutely more government interference, and it is absolutely a socialistic approach to the marketplace. >> the white house would say that they're just trying to make this a fair and even and bake obamacare work. and they say the plan's going to work. >> we've been hearing that for a long time, but the reality is there are still more people who
9:21 am
are uninsured today than there were when obama was elected president. so this has absolutely been a disaster because it's driven up the cost, it's driven up the premiums, it's driven up the deductibles, it's limited your choice of doctors, plans, access to health care. and now we're hearing from the same government that gave us this horrible rollout back in october that don't worry, we now have a new scheme and this scheme will be to make sure no one is making too much money and no one is losing too much money. i don't believe this government is smart enough to administer this. what they're trying to do is interfere with the marketplace. and as you know, the capitalist system is a lot better determiner of what the prices should be and the strong survive and the weak are weeded out. that's the way the marketplace should work. what they're going to be doing is propping up the weak insurance companies who have not run a good shop. >> some would say the capitalistic system hasn't
9:22 am
helped people who don't have insurance, who can't afford it, who have pre-existing conditions, and the plan will help them. what do you think about that? >> well, i think that they're using those things as a reason to take over 1/6 of the economy. and the reality is there were plans on a state level to deal with pre-existing conditions and so forth and the states were far better and more efficient than the federal government when it comes to these. but just keep in mind, this is a president who said the average family would have a $2,500 reduction in premium and now we're seeing that everybody's had about a $2,000 to $3,000 increase. and we found out last week, eric, on our committee that just to comply -- just for the administration costs it's about $3,000 per enrolle. that's not for the health care costs. that's what the government is costing. so this year the cost of administering obamacare is going
9:23 am
from $5 billion to $23 billion. and that doesn't include any of the insurance. >> that's almost like five times, congressman. finally, and we're almost out of time, two weeks to go. they hope to get 7 million people signed up. they say they have 4.2 million. do you think they'll get that? because one study from avenue lar health organization says they'll get 5.4 million. that's 20% fewer than the number that they say they need. and what does that mean to us, to americans, if they get 20% fewer people in two weeks? >> it means that this administration is going to want bailouts for insurance companies and for this plan and the cost per individual is going to continue to increase. it really means we have to defund obamacare and replace it which a market-driven patient-centered system that use the private sector for so many of these solutions we're looking for right now. >> congressman jack kingston, we'll get you back again. two weeks to go. man, oh man. we'll see what happens.
9:24 am
thank you. >> thanks, eric. >> absolutely. jamie? back to the search for the malaysian airline. more than two dozen nations are now searching and involved in it. for the flight 370. it's missing for more than a week. and the investigation is beginning to pry into the lives of the crew. but is it too little too late? and will moscow actions in the ukraine backfire financially on president putin? we'll talk about that as crimeans vote on splitting away to join russia. and somewhat it could mean for the u.s. and the global community. inuses are acting up
9:28 am
and i've got this runny nose. i better take something. truth is, sudafed pe pressure and pain won't treat all of your symptoms. really? alka seltzer plus severe sinus fights your tough sinus symptoms plus your runny nose. oh what a relief it is fox news alert. the search for missing malaysia airlines flight 370 enters its eighth day, crew members on board the american destroyer "uss kidd" are now joining 24 other countries taking part in the international search effort for that boeing 777. this as malaysia's prime minister says that it was no
9:29 am
accide accident. he calls this instead a deliberate act. now the investigation is moving potentially toward sabotage as police have searched the homes of the pilots and the crew members. and with more on this our national correspondent steve sin p.tani from our washington bureau with the latest. >> reporter: a key detail is casting further suspicion today on the cockpit crew of malaysia airlines flight 370. as authorities search the home of the pilot and retrieved an elaborate flight simulator from one home, authorities also revealed that the final communication from the flight crew to air traffic controllers came after the plane's data communication system had been disabled and yet the pilots didn't mention any trouble. so this might indicate an effort to mislead ground control officials. and yet there was not the usual chatter you would find in advance of terrorist activity. >> there's been no terrorist connections whatsoever. there's been no terrorist chatter. there's nothing out there indicating it's terrorist. doesn't mean it's not.
9:30 am
but so far nothing has been picked up by the intelligence community from day one. >> the "uss kidd" has joined the search for the missing plane. there are now 25 nations involved in that search. mostly asia b countries. but also including france, the uk, and australia. the u.s. is also helping criminal investigators in malaysia. >> what we're doing is we have the fbi supporting the criminal investigation. we have naval assets helping look for the plane. and the national transportation safety board's on the ground trying to figure out what happened. so we're going to try to do everything we can to help but we need to get the answers and get them soon. >> that boeing 777 disappeared march 8th after taking off on a flight from kuala lumpur to beijing. 239 people on board continue to be unaccounted for. >> thank you, steve. thank you so much, guys. with more on the investigation into the pilots, crew and passengers on flight 370, which is where the focus of the investigation is today, christopher voss, former fbi special agent and ceo of the black swan group. and it's very good to have you
9:31 am
here. thank you. >> thank you, jamie. my pleasure. >> before i get to what they might be looking at and several pilots tell me that having a simulator in your house is not all that unusual, i want to ask you about the countries that this flight may have flown over and our intelligence availability in those countries. i happen to know someone personally that serves in intelligence in malaysia, but i know they're frustrated and it's somewhat difficult to get information out of that country. what about the others? >> well, there are varying levels of cooperation with the different agencies. unfortunately, a lot of it is very fragmented. and the other thing that has a tensdy to obstruct the dissemination of information is the classic phrase the "need to know." so people tend to and organizations tend to err on the side of not releasing information because it's very hard to unring a bell. very much like the malaysian military official who initially said that the plane had taken a turn and then denied it the next
9:32 am
day. they're very cautious about what they let out. >> chris, could you see a scenario where it's in the interests of a country it believes to not disclose this information because they may have missed something? do you get the sense that maybe one of these countries knows something really devastating or that really answers what happened and they are holding out and plan to permanently? >> well, i think there's a very high likelihood that a number of different countries have information that they haven't released and their justification for not releasing it first of all is that they think that unfortunately everyone on the plane has met their demise and there's no lives currently to be saved. so it's no longer in their interest to release the information because then it reveals their ability to gather intelligence and they want to hold on to that because they're actually trying to protect the citizens of their country from future lives being lost. >> could you see a country, though, like iran having some sort of stake in this?
9:33 am
>> i don't see how iran in particular would have a stake in this. i think many of the countries involved are still very concerned about their own national security and they're trying to find out as much as they can about the intelligence capabilities of the other countries that are involved. >> so at this point how do our officials work together with countries that may be withholding? and i assume just based on my own experience, which is nothing compared to yours, that our own country may know a lot more than >> well, and of course they do. they have classified means of gathering this sort of information, which is guiding their search efforts. i think the u.s. search efforts are a little more focused than some of the other countries' search efforts. and i don't think that we're interested in wasting our time unless we have good reason for looking at where we are. so they don't see how it actually helps anyone. the only possible pain to be relieved here at this point is for the grieving families. which is significant and is not
9:34 am
to be ignored. >> do you see that we will -- does your gut tell you based on your years of experience that we will get answers? and if so will we get them quickly? >> i think we'll get answers. we're not going to get them quickly. i think we're going to locate the plane eventually. i think based on where the u.s. military is searching, those are really good guesses as to where it would have gone down. i think we'll find it and i think we'll retrieve flight data from the plane itself. it will clear up a lot of the mystery. >> the answers, i hope they come soon for the families, as you mentioned. chris voss, thank you so much for your service and also the information today. >> thank you, jamie. >> eric? jamie, about 90 minutes now to go in crimea, where voters there are deciding whether or not to split away from ukraine and join russia. this of course has sparked protests. around the world you're looking live right now in the ukraine about that. and here in the united states at the united nations there have been protests. that's where even ukraine's acting prime minister, there he
9:35 am
is, arseny yatsenuk addressed the crowd and even hugged some of the protesters who are demanding the world protect democracy against what they call vladimir putin's aggression. >> what do you worry about? >> what do i worry about? that he's actually going to take crimea. that this ridiculous referendum by bullet is going to actually pass, even though the world is not really recognizing it, and crimea will be his and then he will actually go further. that's the scary part, that he might try to go further. >> so what happens if it passes as expected? we're joined now by judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter, author, and fox news contributor. judith, you just heard that protester say it, he's going to take it and he may go further. >> this has been so far a tactical victory for vladimir putin. but it could be a strategic
9:36 am
setback for him in the long term if, and here's the big if, eric, if the west, if the united states and its european allies manage to impose sanctions that really bite. and that's the difficult part because europe is so dependent on russia for oil and gas. >> germany is the number one market for moscow gas, for example. >> exactly. >> do you think the sanctions that will likely be announced tomorrow will be enough? >> well, if they get what they're planning to do it could really hurt. in fact, the former finance minister of russia, who's very respected, aleksei kudrin, said it could cost russia $50 billion a quarter in lost foreign investment and that we might wind up with a year of no growth if in fact the sanctions that are now being discussed are put into play. >> do you think putin's willing to lose, what, $200 billion a year, or is that for them a drop in the bucket? >> no, it's not. depending on the price of gas and the price of oil.
9:37 am
the problem for the obama administration and its allies is that all of us are democracies and we're very price sensitive in terms of ballot boxes. if the price of oil shoots up in germany, angela merkel, who is really key to this and key to imposing sanctions, may get wobbly at the knees. we just don't know how strong and for how long the united states can insist on sanctions. >> so basically, putin in a sense could have the west hog-tied with the financial services. >> absolutely. if the west cannot hold together, putin not only has a tactical victory, he will have a strategic victory. >> one of the successes of the cold war was ronald reagan was able to drive the price of oil down. do you see a possibility that could happen now or there is no sense we will really have this financial pressure against moscow similar to what we had to end the cold war? >> look, in the longer term there is a lot the united states and its european allies can do.
9:38 am
for one thing, we can start exporting natural gas to europe and take some of the financial pressure off of them. but these are longer-term solutions. is this enough to change russian behavior in the next three to five years? very hard to say. >> and so many opponents of fracking, for example. >> exactly. but also, we have to remember, with russia, for the ukraineians, this is a major, major strategic objective for russia. they are not going to let this go unless the price is truly, truly severe. we're not resurrecting the cold war here. but you have to look at geographic, historical, cultural realities. >> we're not resurrecting the cold war, you say. but in a sense is this the beginning perhaps of a rollback after the victories of liberating eastern europe, especially if crimea goes back under moscow's wing? >> that's the great fear. i remember senator mccain talking very boldly to president
9:39 am
sha shack stilli in georgia in 2008 when president bush was in power and saying we'll be there for you but in the end we weren't. and now two province that's were, quote, independent are now part of russia. is that going to be the model for ukraine? because that's what putin wants. and it's up for the europeans and america now with a far weaker hand to make sure that doesn't happen. i'm not sure they can do as much as they need to do. >> and that's a lesson putin apparently has learned. >> exactly. >> judith miller, as always great to see you. >> thank you very much, eric. >> thank you for your analysis. jamie? president obama is making an unexpected move on immigration. what it could mean for those who are here in the u.s. illegally. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints
9:40 am
from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work. on my journey across america, i've learned that when you ask someone in texas
9:41 am
if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news. is now providing answers families need. siemens. answers.
9:42 am
9:43 am
president obama's thinking about executive action. that's a term you've all become familiar with. this time to make a change in our immigration system. the white house is under immense pressure to review our policy on deportation, and now the president is asking homeland security to do just that and see if enforcement could be handled, the white house's words, more humanely, for minor violations at least. with no sign of reform from a deadlocked congress is this the right move or another possible case of overreaching using executive power in let's ask angela mcgowan, fox news political analyst and garland nixon, a democratic political
9:44 am
strategist. welcome to both of you. garland, to the democratic side of this first, i remember when president obama was campaigning there was a lot of talk of bringing humanity and humane ways of doing things into this. but isn't deportation law and immigration law cut and dry? you either belong here or you don't belong here. why do we have to make it if you don't belong here kinder and gentler? >> i think the president is actually responding to the american people. the polls say that most americans including republicans favor a more humane policy, favor comprehensive reform of our immigration policies. so actually i think the president has been a little to the right of center with his deportation policies. and he's coming back to the middle and i for one am happy to see it. >> what is that, garland? you get a hearing. they don't throw you out. they make arrangements for you to leave. what would be more humane? >> it would certainly be more humane to recognize that we're talking about real people here. the policies and laws of this

country were created for people. people weren't created for the policies and laws. and we've got to remember, we've got families here, we've got people here with children. >> i guess i'm confused because as a lawyer the laws are meant to apply to the people who are citizens. and angela, let me ask you about what this policy will do. is it going to hurt or bolster our borders? >> well, what we need, jamie-s too comprehensive immigration reform. but what i'm confused about is last yeah, september 2013, the president was interviewed on telemundo. you had the hispanic caucus and several hispanic advocates lobbying him by executive order to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants. and by the way, obama has deported more illegal immigrants than president bush. the president said at that time, jamie, that he could not halt deportation without the act of congress. now he's saying in essence he wants to look over the policies to see if he can do it with an

executive order. again this president is putting politics over policy. and garland, you're right, we should augment the policy. but you can't break the law while changing the law. there is a process, jamie. so i don't know what it's going to look like. >> well, garland, wrap this up for us and tell us, can the president do this by executive order? he has recently met with the hispanic and the black caucus. and he has listened to their concerns. can he do this without congress? >> well, i think that's what he's trying to find out. if you read up on this, he has asked the department of homeland security to review it to find out if he has -- and if you notice, the department of homeland security because the issue of security is very important and he wants to ensure that he doesn't do something that jeopardizes the safety of the people while doing the right thing. >> angela, i did read up on it, actually, garland, for the record. but angela, what do you think the president can do? what is he authorized to do? >> i think that the president is a lame duck president. i believe that president obama is a brilliant man and when he spoke on telemundo in 2013 he
9:47 am
told the truth. you cannot change the law without an act of congress. you can do executive orders, jamie. but you're a lawyer. and the law is the law. and again, you cannot break or augment the law while breaking the law. so i think it's a catch-22 here. >> last question, garland. if he does this, will there be pushback for him changing his policy midterm? >> i don't think so because the policy is so popular across a broad spectrum of ideologies. it's so popular he is actually acquiescing to the will of the american people. and i don't think you're going to get kickback for that. >> kickback. different than pushback. >> okay. >> but i know what you meant. all right, guys, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> interesting insight. >> jamie, what do you get when you mix golf and bowling? >> i like them both. >> wait till we show you what it is. it's an age-old irish game.

literature or perhaps the captain went rogue and delivered the airliner to al qaeda. literary parallels seem the logical next step. tlut out history the indian ocean has been a magnet for adventures and pilots. mark twain was one of the legions of writers who sailed the ocean in 1885. naturally he wrote about his travels and critics have compared the aging twain state of mind to this stretch of water where ancient sail ways were motionless by a windless void. twain called it a trap and a place of horrible stillness. no compass had any value, he wrote. when the come pos enters one of these be witched domains, it goes insane in worlds this way
