the phone from the cockpit. >> right now all eyes are on the search. just to give you some perspective, check out where the area is on this google earth map. all the way at the bottom. the u.s. navy's most advanced aircraft, the p-8 poisedon, has about an hour left in today's search before it has to turn back and refuel. we're live in thailand. david, what have they found and what are we looking at now? >> they haven't found anything, as you said, so far.ç planes and ships have been out there all day today. there was four australian planes in the air. one has come back so far and said they haven't found anything. the u.s. navy p-8 search plane is over the site now scanning for those objects. it's only got about an hour left out there at this time. but the reality is that the malaysian authorities have known about the satellite data tracking the plane for a long time. >> by tuesday they had

drawn up a suggested arc to the north and south if you like of where you might want to look. >> if you had this information by wednesday, march 12, we understand the malaysian authorities hadç it. do you confirm that? >> i can confirm that on the tuesday we supplied it to the investigation. >> the focus of the investigation is also on that pilot's flight simulator they found in the chief pilot's home. they understand that some data was deleted from that simulator and is now being flown to the u.s. to try to retrieve it. back to you guys in the studio. >> david piper live for us in the region. regarding the search five airplanes involved today. the first to arrive has come back nothing. two are currently in the search area. one is almost there and a fifth one will arrive shortly. the focus is according to the australians who are this charge right now, the focus is finding people
3:05 am
alive. >> of course. it is a search and rescueç as we've noted before. in terms of that deleted file or two that they're looking for, deleting them apparently is not issue but they're hoping to see if there is an indication of an altered flight path practiced prior to the takeoff. >> like this one. that would be quite interesting as well as also finding out information on the phone call. we have commercial satellites getting into the area also helping out. the satellite picture that took that shot on the 16th, sunday, is also taking more satellite pictures. hopefully we're going to get closer and closer. i'm encouraged by the fact that the australians are working with us on a commonç cause. we have a history of working great together. now let's talk about what's also happening and that is whats happened to lead us to that moment. we don't know if that is the plane. we're in search of where the plane was. as we're trying to piece it up the question keeps
3:06 am
coming up what happened to the plane and who turned off the transponders? last night senator saxby chambliss had a theory on that and it was more than a theory. he actually talked to boeing. listen. >> those that have examined it and particularly the folks from boeing who obviously made the airplane, from what they have been told, there just simply is no way that a catastrophic event turned that transponder off. somebody had to manually turn it off. >> if that is true, that is a significant development in the case, because if somebody leaned down andç turned that off by choice to try to go dark on the airplane, that certainly, you tell me, raises the possibility of hijacking either by the pilot or a passenger to a considerable level. >> i don't think there is any question about that. >> he's speaking of that because some have suggested that, you know, if it wasn't hijacked maybe there was something bad that happened suddenly in the cockpit like a fire could have disabled the
3:07 am
transponder and the acars, the radio as well. saxby chambliss echoing what a lot of people in the industry say, it can't all happen at the same time. >> of the information coming from the manufacturer lends some weight to the argument that raising eyebrows. heather nauert, you have headlines for us. >> another big story we're following and that of course is what's going on in the ukraine. tensions are mounting in an increasing war of words over what is going on with the sanctions on vladimir putin's inner circle. russia responding today with its own list of sanctions targeting some congressional leader and today saying our president's latest round of sanctions is illegal. at this hour putin mocking the new u.s. restrictions saying that he will open an account in one of the banks that has been targeting by those sanctions. ambassador john bolton on the record about that back and forth. listen to this.
3:08 am
>> this is just pure foolishness what's going on now. nobody shouldç operate under the illusion that sanctioning made individuals saying they can't get visas or we're going to freeze -- has no effect on their behavior. >> russia's sanctions will bar nine american officials from entering russia including senator john mccain. mccain tweeting this after hearing the news -- quote -- "i guess this means my spring break in siberia is off, gaz prom stock is lost and secret gas account in moscow is frozen." sense of humor there. we told you about the new jersey taoerpblg -- teenager who sneaked to the top ofç the world trade center. now we learned the surveillance is not operating. the 16-year-old crawled through a hole in the fence. he got a lift to the 88th

this is a fox news alert. in the last hour we got an update on the crews searching the indian ocean. so far they've turned up nothing. new information coming in this morning indicates that the pilot made a phone call right before takeoff from the cockpit but we don't know who he was talking to. of course the disappearance of flight 370 is still a mystery so let's look at this like an investigator. with the top leads of the week here to help is former criminal investigator and with a his pilot license john lucich. he made a phone call an hour before he got in the cockpit. what about the home simulator? >> when authorities searched his home they found a home simulator. their skills on weather and flight scenario-related flights. so we can actually fly through bad weather or we can actually land on emergency runways. >> the runways weigh in the
3:34 am
indian ocean, that's a good lead? >> it could be a good lead. number one that aircraft didn't show up at any of those runways. we know it headed towards a certain direction so that makes it good. >> several files have been deleted from the flight simulator and it sounds like the flight simulator hard drive is now in quantico, virginia. >> until we find out what those deleted files are,ç can you imagine it was a deleted file of a flight scenario landing in pakistan? that could be a good lead. >> apparently he was related to the malaysian opposition leader, the guy on trial sentenced to five years in jail the day this guy went missing. >> not a lead that will take us anywhere unless it comes back this guy had ties to -- remember, every pilot stkpw-g to have a different -- is going to have a different view about politics. not a good lead. >> what about the fact that two people need to disable

judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. why now? why would we handle control? if not us, then i'm sure someone like putin would be glad to take over the -- >> this is counter intuitive. this is a head scratcher. because government almostç always expands. it rarely sheds itself of some power or some responsibility. it's the nature of government to want to control more rather than control less. here we have the president of the united states. while the country and the world are fixated on the invasion in ukraine and the missing malaysian plane, while nobody is looking, say, "hey, by the way, we're giving up control of the internet. it's worked really well. if you want a domain name, it's fair. you can always get the name you want. there's plenty of band width but we're going to give up control." p.s., that vacuum we will create will be occupied by the two most totalitarian
3:55 am
regimes on the planet, china and russia. you may say you're not a fan of government. doesn't the private management of things work better than the governmentç management of things? generally yes. >> does that not apply here to the competition? >> this is not strictly speaking government. this is a private entity, private enterprise government partnership and it has worked very well. with the united states government out, who or what will move in? if private enterprise moves in, if google moves in, that can be a buffer to the russians and chinese except the russians and chinese have an army to enforce what they want if they want to throw a switch and google doesn't. if it becomes authoritarian somebody else will compete with it. if you don't like the way it is being managed, goç to another server and another system. i'm not sure that can happen without the united states in there as a buffer to china and russia. >> two things here. obviously i believe in private business and
3:56 am
enterprise competing for the best of their consumers. the concern, if we don't control it as you noted, someone else will, perhaps not with our intentions. what is going on here? is this a reaction -- >> what's going on is this. because the n.s.a. can listen to everything we say on this. as you know, elisabeth, the n.s.a. can listen to us even when we're not using this, when it's within earshot of our speaking. the president and his people, again when the country is fixated on other things, will soon say we heard you. we hear the reaction to snowden. we withdrew from the name of the company that regulates the internet. that's aç drop in the bucket. that is not going to enhance human freedom. if anything it may make things more difficult for the freedom-loving west and the internet as we've known it. it works! why change it? >> more information on-line. judge napolitano, thank you. >> always a pleasure. is kilmeade here or did he

4:02 am
out with whom he spoke to from the cockpit. malaysian officials this morning asking the united states for more help. >> i will also be speaking to the u.s. secretary of defense tonight to request further specialist assets to help with the search and rescue effort, including removing the cockpit from the ocean. >> reporter: the u.s. is already helping with the search and the f.b.i. is trying to recover those deleted files from the pilot's home flight simulator. >> here is some perspective on this thing. check out where the area is on the google earth map. all the way at the bottom of the globe. the u.s. navy's most advanced aircraft, the p 8 poseidon, turning back now after three hours search. david piper knows that and he's live in thailand. david, so far it seems like we swung and we've missed.
4:03 am
>> reporter: for the moment. tough searches, we're talking 1500 miles southwest of perth in the indian observation. those planes and one ship, i believe, so far have been searching all day. they haven't found anything. also we know, as you said, that u.s. navy p 8 aircraft, that's been over there the past few hours. a lot of sophisticated equipment on board. they haven't f either and i understand they are now turning back. four australian planes were also out there today. they haven't reported any sightings either. the objects could have moved hundreds or thousands of miles since they were spotted by satellite saturday, sunday. the malaysian authorities say the objects are credible leads, but also continuing to search both corridors for the missing plane. as for the investigation into why the plane was diverted, the flight simulator found in the chief pilot's home is being sent to the u.s. for analysis. some times were deleted on it and it's hoped experts can
4:04 am
retrieve them now. but the malaysian authorities are saying everybody is innocent until proven guilty. back to you guys. >> david piper live with the very latest from the region. thank you very much. >> also noteworthy, they changed the tone. asking for help. in the beginning, they told everyone they had it handled. >> it's one of the most remote locations on the globe, so they need somebody who has the best tool and we're the ones. i think the way we led this particular segment with the news that apparently the pilot made a phone call just moments before the flight, i think that's really important. keep in mind, the flight took off at 40 minutes after midnight. who are you going to call at 40 minutes after midnight? so they're trying to figure out who they did call. now, the other question and something we brought up since the get-go since the satellite imagery showed those two objects in the water off the coast of australia, what would it be doing exactly the wrong way? the hijacking potential is still there, although some have
4:05 am
suggested maybe there was a catastrophic event inside the cockpit. maybe there was a fire and that knocked out transponders in the acar and the radio, too? sax bee chambliss has looked at this particular scenario and he says, that wouldn't do it. >> those that have examined it and particularly the folks from boeing who obviously made the airplane, from what they have been told, there just simply is no way that a catastrophic event turned that transponder off. somebody had to manually turn it off. >> wow. if that is true, that is a significant development in the case because if somebody leaned down and turned that off by choice to try to go dark on the airplane, then that -- you tell me raises the possibility of hijacking either by the pilot or a passenger to a considerable level. >> i don't think there is any question about that.
4:06 am
>> so there he is, weighing in, saying his people at boeing -- and he would know. he headed up his committee for a while. he also said the company that manufactures the plane, that -- excuse me, the satellite service that was in the area says that plane flew for seven hours after transponders were turned off. >> right. and that information was known before the malaysian government actually came out with it to everybody else. they have also -- they have not confirmed that the call was made by the pilot. the sources indicate that was the case. we will stand by waiting. if any information comes forward with that call or the deleted files from his simulator. in the meantime, heather nauert, you have some headlines for us. >> hi there. we're following that other important story. that's the tit for tat. president obama slapping new sanctions on vladimir putin's inner circle, including the bank where putin keeps his cash. russia responding with its own unique list of sanctions
4:07 am
targeting some u.s. congressional leaders. they're barring nine american officials from entering russia, including senator john mccain. mccain showing his sense of humor, tweeting this. quote, i guess this means my spring break in siberia is off. my secret bank account in moscow is frozen. then a sad story to tell you about. this is a shocking tragedy that took place in china. there was a mass poisoning at a school leaving two kindergarteners dead and 30 more sickened at the hospital. the toxic substance that poisoned these children, a powerful rat poison. it's unclear how the children ingested it. there were some tests already conducted of their school lunches. those tests have come back clean. at this point, authorities are simply trying to figure out if this was an accident or if this is something that was done on purpose. we'll keep following that story for you. so many tragedies recently between that and the airliner. a frightening update on the story about the teen-ager who climbed to the top of the world
4:08 am
trade center. there is a new report out that says that the building does not have a single working surveillance camera inside it. and the video system won't be up and running until later this year. 16-year-old justin crawled through a hole in a fence and then he took the elevator to the 88th floor. you can see him standing on that railing there. he walked past a sleeping security guard on the 104th floor. the teen-ager now faces three months in jail. and do you remember when the president handed out this piece of budgeting advice? >> if you looked at that person's budget and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone -- cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on, it may turn out that just they haven't prioritized health care. >> okay. president obama said if you can pay for obamacare, you could pay for obamacare by just canceling your cell phone and cable television. so we decided to do the math. the average cell phone bill costs between 80 and $90 a month and the average cost of the
4:09 am
lowest obamacare bronze plan runs $249 a month. what do you think of that? those are your headlines. i'll see you back here. >> all right. see you later. >> i have a question for you, how do you get people aware of your candidacy, at the same time point out what you're about and what you stand for, point out what's bad about the administration, at the same time try to capture the momentum of march madness? is there any way to do all those things? >> there is indeed. >> what are you talk being? >> i'm talking about this right here. this is a bracket, he released a presidential constitutional madness bracket. >> wow. great idea. >> look at this. you can check it out showing all the constitutional offenses made by president obama. it could turn out to be as popular as the march madness bracket, which is millions of millions of people signing up. this is just the east region, round one of some of the competition. >> all right. and so you got to pick.
4:10 am
let's go through each region, round one. >> top seed. >> you got allowing congressional obamacare subsidies, versus abortions. mandate versus allowing paneling to government health care without congress. you got a delay to make health care plans obamacare compliant versus delay in obamacare's employer mandate. you've got implementing the dream act without legislation versus changing welfare rules, work rules without legislation. a lot of delays. >> now let's go to the west, brian kilmeade. >> fox sports will be carrying this. moratorium on deep water drilling in the gulf. how is that working for us verse libya or a plan for post fighting. white house kill list includes americans without due process verse raising the minimum wage without legislation. then you have collecting bulk data from americans' cell phones
4:11 am
verse american's international phone calls. that will be a good one. finally to round out the bracket, issuing national security letters to violate free speech against the very formidable proposing a national license plate tracking system. good luck, guys. >> and these are all things that our government is doing without congressional approval. just executive mandates. we asked you what you thought and a lot of you are responding. caroline says finals would be cell phone tracking versus funding for abortion with abortion winning. >> right. randy on facebook said, i'm not accustomed to choosing losers over losers. >> sounds like a guy that's not a mets fan. >> keep your comments coming and hit that bracket like you did the march madness. >> tell white house is going to win in the end. we'd like to get your ideas. >> it's all bad. 7:11 here in new york city. unfortunately, we may never find those black boxes from the missing malaysian jet liners. so what would the debris tell us

all right. fox news alert. another search for that missing plane ending this hour without any success. what if we never find the black box? can experts find out what happened based on the pieces of debris if that debris is deemed part of the aircraft? joining us, aviation security analyst and fox news contributor, mike boyd. we might be stuck right now with just debris. should we be able to catch up to what we saw on sunday, without a black box, what could we put
4:16 am
together? >> well, if the debris is from the airplane and you can figure that pretty quickly if you get your hands on it, if they can get their hands on it, they would know something about it and they could probably track it back to where we think it could be. but the reality of this is i don't know if we're ever going to find that black box. if we don't find the black box, we still are a lot of information to work on regarding this incident. not what took the airplane down, but the process that got it there. that's what we got to refocus on. >> can you tell the process that got us there if there is a debris trail, debris field, and then a trail towards the bigger pieces? >> there could be. absolutely. but at this point in time, we're talking ten, 12, 13 days now. every day that passes means less and less chance of doing that and we're going to have to go back and go back and take a look at what caused this, how did it happen, why was the malaysian government doing what they did, all those sorts of things that
4:17 am
if we don't find any debris of the airplane, we've got to consider whether or not that airplane still exist. >> the way they say, we're searching an area the size of minnesota, but we have a 3 1/2 hour flight just to get to it. now the good news is you got japan, china, australia, and the u.s. all working together to try to catch up with it. does that make you feel any more optimistic about where we're heading? >> not right now. it's great to have more boats and more ships and whatnot down there if that's where the airplane went down, if the airplane did go down. but again, as every day passes, this stuff eventually sinks, if it did come from the aircraft. >> last night on megyn kelly's show, chefs able so to interview one of the executives from the satellite service that kept pinging after the transponders were shut off, seven hours after they were shut off. what does that tell you? >> it means the airplane was obviously flying. it was probably flying at a cruising altitude rather than a low altitude where it would burn
4:18 am
a lot of fuel. so the airplane was going somewhere. again, i have to question why would someone just fly it in that direction and why malaysian airlines? the malcolm milk toast of asian airlines. none of this is adding up. it did go in one direction or another, i'm not sure it went in the direction they think it did. >> it's been great having you go over this with us and hopefully we'll get more answers and get instant analysis. thanks so much. >> thank you. straight ahead, did you hear what ellen degeneres said about obamacare? >> everyone is very grateful that you did this and i think it is important for people to sign up and to -- it's just better to be covered. you never know. >> oh, really?

4:33 am
expect several storm systems to move into the region. saturday night into early sunday morning, that's when the next storm system is forecast to move on in. that one quickly exits. but then again come 3:00 p.m. eastern time on monday, another storm system will be there. we do have very small windows of time where we have relatively quiet conditions. you can see the winds with these storm systems are going to be very strong, gusting up to 50 miles per hour at times out here. by monday, that next system also producing strong winds of 30 to 50 miles per hour. so that is going to make it very tough. we do expect very rough conditions in the ocean, high waves, poor victim and a loft cloud cover, as well as strong winds. the depth, very deep out here. 8 to 12,000 feet is the average depth out here. we do have deeper areas and, of course, something else to consider is prevailing ocean currents where we generally have a counterclock wise flow around the indian ocean. in that red dot, that's the area of interest. we have the ocean currents flowing from generally southwest to northeast direction.

lead. it's been since moved to quantico, virginia by the f.b.i. lab. >> they're going to do a great job. one thing about this also is forget the deleted files all by themselves. you want to also look at the entire hard drive, all his computers. can you imagine if we find out this guy was doing searches for how to evade radar. those are very important. >> another lead is according to sounds like military radar, they know even though the plane was heading to beijing, china, it made a big turn to the west. you think that's a good lead, that they were did -- it was programmed apparently before the copilot said all right, good night. >> right. when it was programmed is not the key. where it was going is a big key because it's going to help us find out at least what direction they were going to before we lost communication with them and contact. >> you say the fact that malaysia asked for help from pakistan is not a good lead, but i think it's curious that of all the places, they're talking to pakistan. >> there have been some reports that this airplane had landed in pakistan. but remember, we asked pakistan
4:36 am
for help in finding osama bin laden. they didn't find him, yet we found him just down the road from a military complex. >> sure. of course, this morning we're detailing the search for debris, 15 money miles to the south and west of perth, australia. you don't find any of the information that debris has been spotted as a good lead. it's all we've got. >> it's got to be checked out. that's exactly right. right now -- any straw that comes along, we have to jump on. all these other reports about showing up on satellite have all what? been unfounded. >> sure. ultimately, what does your gut tell you? is that plane in the water? >> it could be anywhere. but my gut tells me it is on the ground. they have hostages and eventually we'll find out where. >> you also think if -- >> i could be wrong, though. >> if it's a member of the crew, you think it's the copilot. >> right. right now everything points to the copilot, in my opinion, because he's the guy who is last talking when he's way off course.
4:37 am
this travels at 562 cruise miles per hour, this was 500 off course and he was the last one to be talking. >> you also think the age of the copilot has something to do it? >> i think young kids are more easily indoctrinated if that's what happened. >> interesting stuff. at this point, all speculation. >> absolutely. >> thank you very much. 23 minutes before the top of the hour. heather nauert has the news. >> hi there, steve. good morning to you. got some headlines. a judge holding richard masten in contempt of court after last week he ripped up and ate a piece of paper that contained the name of an anonymous tipster rather than hand over that information in a cocaine possession case. masten, who heads up miami's crimestoppers program says he was prepared to serve six months in jail and claims he will do it again to protect his tipsters. we all know new york's iconic horse carriages in central park and the mayor, bill de blasio, said they're going to be replaced, but he'd do it by using antique electric cars

out who he spoke to in the cockpit. geraldo rivera joins us in the 8:00 o'clock hour of every friday. >> good morning. great to have the beatles back together. >> and you're clean shaven. >> yeah. >> it sounds like the pilot was on the phone on his cell phone from the cockpit at 12:30 in the morning talking to somebody. >> it could be something, but then again, human nature, he could have been calling his girlfriend, hess grandma. i'm about to go, we all do it. i wouldn't put a lot of stock in it. i was very excited yesterday. this story has electrified the whole world and the story of the debris in the south indian ocean was something that everyone, as i walked around the city yesterday was talking about. whether it was a doorman or high roller or cab driver, everybody wanted to know what about this debris. it reminded me, i just want to back the story up a little bit. remember the scene, that horrifying scene with the mother
5:03 am
screaming in anguish and surrounded by all the mobs of paparrazzi and how badly that was managed, how badly the malaysian and chinese authorities managed that horrible situation with that mom. that is a metaphor for how they have handled this entire search for this missing aircraft. they have bungled it from the beginning. if you have this company in marset, a british satellite company, i sailed my boat around the world. every mariner knows about it. they are impeccable in terms of their reputation. it comes clear now that they told the malaysian authorities two days after the plane disappeared that they were reasonably certain that the aircraft was in the south indian ocean. >> they said malaysia, you're looking in the wrong lace. >> the malaysian authorities did not share that information. look at all the wasted hours of searching in the south china sea and everywhere else. so wasted, something crucial could have been found. >> is this geopolitical pride at
5:04 am
its worst? in your heart, do you believe that's why this information wasn't shared? >> yes. i think it is as simple as horrifyingly base as that. i do. i think they didn't want to tell the world how incompetent they were in terms of this technological breakthrough. >> let's talk about the debris that could or could not be the plane. we know it's the size of minute and tough to sea. it's 3 1/2 flight from australia's mainhand to this area. surprised we walked away without anything again today? >> no. i don't think it's anything. did you see the movie "all is lost" with robert redford? that's the biggest danger out there is the floating container. all container ships, you see a truck on the tractor-trailer on the highway, those are the containers that go on the big ships. they sometimes, because they file them so high, in rough weather, those get knocked over. that's what it sounds like to me, that it is the container. not the debris from an aircraft,
5:05 am
which would be much flatter. this seems more rigid. i still think that you have to go through the odds here. my favorite theory, the 5% theory is that because of some secret passenger or some secret cargo, the aircraft was hijacked and landed someplace. not to take off again to be used as a weapon, but just to get it someplace so they could get to the secret passenger or the secret cargo. that's 5%. far more likely is that it was a hijacking or a pilot suicide, but the reason i'm not definitive about that is if it was just going to be a pilot suicide, you just drive the plane into the drink right there. the most likely scenario in my view, is the payne stewart scenario. something happened with the oxygen on board. everybody died. >> who shut off the transponders? >> that could have been -- i'm choking, i'm choking. >> and then they said good night. i mean, they already went off
5:06 am
course. >> i wish i could answer -- >> i tell you what, saxby chambliss has spoken to people and he knows a lot about the intelligence community -- regarding, was there a catastrophic event that could have knocked out the transponders, the radio, everything else? he says no. listen to this. >> have examined it and particularly the folks from boeing who obviously made the airplane. from what they have been told, there just simply is no way that a catastrophic convenient turned that transponder off. somebody had to manually turn it off. >> wow. if that is true, that is a significant development in the case because if somebody leaned down and turned that off by choice to try to go dark on the airplane, you tell me, raises the possibility of hijacking either by the pilot or a passenger to a considerable level. >> yeah. i don't think there is any question about that. >> geraldo? >> you know, what is shocking to
5:07 am
me is that i can find my children by their iphones with a google app. >> right now. >> right now. i can tell where you all five of my kids are right now. well, my little one doesn't have an iphone. and we can't do that with an aircraft. it is a scandal. how expensive can it be? if you can do it in every hand-held communication device, how could it not be on every airplane? just a little thing. you can't turn it off. >> it's about money. >> how much money is that? $27.50? >> you got to convert everything to gps rather than radio. >> i think it's preposterous. isn't it amazing, when was the last time we had a story where everybody is engaged and everybody is as expert as anyone else? every opinion, your opinion, my opinion, joel's opinion, we're just as valid as anyone else's, or saxby chambliss. we just don't know what happened to that aircraft. what i think is absolutely unlikely impossible is that it was landed to be used as a
5:08 am
weapon. >> your satellite service said they got pings for seven hours after transponders went off. that's pretty big. >> you say you think aliens more likely? you could work at cnn. >> yeah, right. black hole. >> yeah. that network is the black hole. msnbc. >> all agree hearts are breaking for the family. >> geraldo, thank you very much. >> thank you. we do have breaking news, we understand now, at 8 minutes after the top of the hour from heather nauert. >> this affected russia. moments ago, russian president vladimir putin officially making crimea a part of his mother russia. this historic action happening one day after president obama slapping sanctions on putin's inner circle, including the bank where putin keeps his own stash of cash. russia then responding by banning nine americans from entering russia, including senator john mccain.

time for news by the numbers. $1.3 million. that's how much the government spent on booze last year with taxpayer money. that's more than quadruple the amount spent in 2005. next, 11. that's the sad percentage of long-term unemployed people who managed to find work one year after losing their jobs. researchers say they're more likely to drop out of the work force permanently. and finally, 10,000. that's how many babies a florida
5:22 am
doctor delivered during his 32-year career and it all came full circle during his final delivery. he delivered the baby of a woman he helped bring into the world 18 years ago. >> wow. meanwhile, geraldine ferraro was a trail blazer, the first female vice presidential nominee whose lifetime in public service inspired millions. now a new documentary that premieres on showtime seeks to share her legacy with a whole new generation. >> my mother was very careful to make sure that i was not treated differently from my brother. every halloween we always had the snooziest costumes and one year i said, can i be uncle sam? she said sure, you can be anything you want to be. that's what she told me in my life. you can be whatever you want to be. you can do whatever you want to do. all you have to do is work hard. >> and she did work hard. we're joined right now by the film maker behind the documentary who happens to be geraldine ferraro's daughter.
5:23 am
good morning to you. >> good morning. >> of course, your mom worked here and we all loved her. >> she loved all of you. she had so many friends here. and actually that's one of the messages in the movie, you'll see that i talk to people who are on other sides of the aisle when she was in congress, who she worked together with, but also she had a wonderful relationship with the bushes, which i think will surprise people. >> on election night, she actually had a conversation with george bush and he reached out to her. >> yeah. that's how their friendship became or started. what he said when she called to concede was, we'll have to have lunch. and she said, well, okay. so they did. and that was the beginning of a friendship that lasted throughout the rest of her life. >> here is that clip. let's listen. >> it was pretty easy for me to be pleasant to geraldine. so i'm glad we reached out. >> so we went down to the
5:24 am
executive office building into his office and we had a great lunch. >> almost like there were never any competition or any worry about that. >> that is great. she also had a great relationship with our founder and boss, roger ailes. >> she sure did. she considered him a real friend. she was happy to be here. the movie is her -- about her legacy and her life story. but it's also all the lessons of her life. one of those lessons is, you should respect everyone with different points of view, but also you can even become friendly with them. >> right. >> i look at my daughter and i think, i want to be able to show her women who had such impact in a positive way and stood for the principles like your mom did. is that why you made this as well? 'cause really, i think if you're a millenial, if you're a young woman at any age, it's great for them to be able to see her. >> yes. and actually, anyone who is under 40 probably doesn't know who she was. they might have seen her on fox, but really they don't know what sort of impact she had on their
5:25 am
lives or what that '84 campaign meant, especially since they lost. the premise, they lost and it's not a spoiler, obviously, by a landslide. but the premise of the film is that how she conducted herself during that campaign changed what people thought was possible for women. >> what was it like being she just passed away in 2011, was it extremely tough for you as her daughter and the film maker? >> yes. that was the biggest challenge, actually, because obviously we were very close family. it was very emotional. i did the interview with her that is the basis of the film a year before she died. i actually couldn't look at it for at least a couple of months after she died. but then i knew that i wanted to get this done and get it out there because actually next wednesday is the third anniversary of her death. >> sure. is it frustrating -- you were talking about people under 40 may not have heard of her. so many people go, well, the first prominent woman in american politics. hillary clinton. your mom, about a generation before her.
5:26 am
>> and she sees that it was hillary clinton who said during her eulogy to my mother that she paveed the way for her. >> she did. >> so what we want to show is that there was a groundwork that was laid for people like hillary clinton and elizabeth warren, anyone else who is running on a national ticket. >> on behalf of all the women out there, i have to thank you because i know this is something that's such a gift for them and to them and truly a tribute to your mom and all that she did. >> thank you. i hope it will be used as an educational tool. i really want it to be used as is in schools and universities to teach people about the women's movement, about women's rights, and just sort of the history of it. >> we can all watch it tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern time on showtime. it is called "geraldine ferraro, paving the way." >> thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> great meeting you. coming up straight ahead on this show, the president may need a band-aid because this hurts.
5:27 am
>> don't you see what you're doing, though? you're forcing people to accept something that the majority them don't even want. >> yes. in russia we have word for this. obamacare. >> is this a bad sign for some people that support the president are turning on him with comedy? >> then, can you guess this puzzle with two letters? one contestant did and it's being called a wheel of fortune miracle and he won a boat load of dough. ♪ ♪ (knocking)

welcome back. is jimmy fallon turning on his friend, president obama? >> that's right. the president may need a band-aid after this phone call from the "tonight show." it looks like an exclusive. (phone ringing). >> hello? >> hello. it's barak. i've been trying to call you all day. where you been? >> i'm playing iphone games, candy crush. so addictive. i take the candy and i crush it. >> i hear you. i hear you. it's been quite a stressful week. i tell you that much. >> been pretty stressful over
5:32 am
here, too. >> look, we got to talk about the situation in ukraine. don't you see what you're doing, though? you're forcing people to accept something that the majority of them don't even want. >> yes. in russia we have word for this. obamacare. >> ouch. ouch. ouch. now that hurt. >> yes. does obamacare cover burns? >> ha, ha. very funny. and no. >> i'm just trying to do my thing and then i'm watching news. next thing i know, you're sending john mccain over to ukraine. >> yeah, that's right. mccain in the ukraine. mccain in ukraine. >> mccain in the ukraine. >> mccain insane. got no brain.
5:33 am
>> vlad, to recap our call. no progress was made here, right? >> none at all. >> okay. take care. >> bye. >> true. the reality, the president spent 4 1/2 hours, three separate conversations with vladimir putin. we have not seen any progress at all and now they're mocking each other through a series of sanctions. here an expert mocker himself, chris wallace. welcome. i know you're getting set for fox news sunday. usually picking out an outfit at this time. thank you for joining us this morning. how are the sanctions going over in russia? >> well, what's interesting is if you want a sense of how our sanctions are hitting them, just look at how we reacted when mccain was told that he couldn't go visit russia. he said that means my spring break in siberia is gone and my moscow stock tanked. so, we're -- the u.s. and the west have not gotten really serious and gone after them. there are things you can do. russia is a military super power, but it's an economic basket case and there are things
5:34 am
that the u.s. and the e.u. could do. they haven't chosen to do them yet and you kind of wonder, what are they waiting for? >> why do you think a is? clearly russia has a vested interest because a lot of their energy travels through that part of russia and they don't want the tap turned off. >> no, but on the other hand, also the european union has a vested interest because they get their energy from russia and in addition, you've got western europe and a lot of money. i was reading an article the otn and they called a london grad and they all show up with suitcases filled with millions of dollars and buy these houses and stuff. both on a serious level and a less serious level, it's huge economic crater with western europe and they're somewhat reluctant. but tough talk out of angela merkel, the german chancellor who says, '98 is dead. there is the g 7. so we'll see how this goes.
5:35 am
>> we did see putin actually signing annexation of crimea and then there was laws that followed within the room there. how far will that applause go and what are we going to be seeing next? >> well, that's a good question. i wish i had the answer to it. the applause doesn't surprise me in the slightest because ukraine, you have to remember, was historically part of russia. in fact, kiev, the capital of ukraine, was considered the kind of capitol of russia and where russian culture started. after 1991 and the fall of the soviet union that ukraine split off and became an independent country has always been a very difficult subject and kind of a raw wound for the russians. so they feel they're taking back what was theirs. the big question, of course, is does putin stop at crimea? does he go into eastern ukraine? what about the baltic states,
5:36 am
which would really be dangerous for the world because that is part of nato. according to the nato treaty, any act of aggress against any member of nato is an act of aggression against all of them. that could start a shooting war. >> by the way, we're revisiting, reviewing whether we're going to give ukraine nonlethal military assistance. so i don't know what that is. new uniforms and a helmet? >> we did already when the prime minister came to the white house, we gave them mre's, military rations. they'll be well fed. >> i'm sure you're going to cover all that this weekend on your program, plus people are -- we're searching that area about 1500 miles to the south and west of perth, australia. we understand the flight simulator has gone to the f.b.i. lab about 40 miles south of where you're sitting in quantico, virginia rights now. a lot of people are wondering, is that the stuff in the water or could it be terror? could the plane be parked somewhere? >> well, all good questions. we'll be all over it on sunday. we'll have a live report. we'll talk to mike mccall.
5:37 am
chairman of house homeland security. talk about the terror scenario. talk to him about if the f.b.i. has been able to retrieve any information, the deleted files, which may or may not be anything. we'll be talking to dr. alan deal, former ntsb investigator, and then on a completely different subject, we'll be talking exclusively to former fox contributor, governor john kasich of ohio. he says he's not interested, but i think a real possibility for 2016 for the republicans. we'll talk to him in our panel. we'll have the latest on crimea. >> he played a prominent role in balancing the budget in the clinton years. he led the charge in the house. what are you hearing on the ground in terms of what's going on with this plane? what's the insider story there in washington? >> nothing that -- people here are mystified by it. it's one of those things. on one hand i think a lot of people don't want to find the
5:38 am
wreckage because then it means maybe they are on some desert island, though i think that's somewhat slim. but i think at least people want an answer and that debris, which is several days old, the satellite image of it in a part of the world where there is strong currents and strong winds, who knows if they're going to find it or if it's related. but the search continues. on sunday we'll have the very latest information. >> and may have more coming by then, too, as they unlock perhaps those deleted files. thanks. we will be watching. >> bye, guys. >> so long. it's now 22 minutes before the top of the hour. heather nauert has been gathering the headlines and joins us live. >> good morning there. great to see you. i want to start now with a story about turning the other cheek. we all remember the leader of the westborough baptist church who spent so much of his time picketing the funerals of dead soldiers and gay people. he has died and a gay rights group in his home state of kansas says it will not picket his funeral.
5:39 am
they're asking its community to rise above the anger. 84-year-old phelps died on wednesday. iran building a nuclear aircraft carrier loaded with planes ready to destroy america. take a look at these satellite photos that show the ship and it looks a whole lot like an american aircraft carrier. it even has the same distinctive shape and the style of the navy's carriers. there is one teeny problem. the whole thing is a fake. u.s. officials say it's a lot more like a barge than a warship and they think the country may be planning to blow this up for some propaganda value. the vice president, our vice president sent straight to voice mail. joe biden, from delaware, of course, called the coach of the delaware men's basketball team to wish them good luck before the big game against william and mary. monty ross says he didn't recognize the phone number, so he didn't pick it up. the two then ended up playing phone tag for a while until finally the vice president connected with ross from chile.
5:40 am
how about that? it's being called a wheel miracle. >> keep talking. maybe the right thing will pop out. >> new baby buggy. new baby -- new -- oh. >> i don't get it. how do you do it with just two letter as soon as that contestant guessed the bonus puzzle knowing just those two letters. he took home $63,000, a little more than that. sajack tweeted and said it was my most amazing solve in my 30 plus years on the show. no kidding. do you ever watch the show and wonder, how did you know a? >> at the end they talked a little bit about it and on the side they've got a big board with the letters not used and the first one not used was b. so he went -- what starts with a b? baby buggy. he got it. >> then he got the pat-down. >> chuck woolery used to host it and afterwards, he used to go to the window and pick out a
5:41 am
certain amount of things. do you remember that? >> i do remember. >> now pat sajack took over. >> go shopping. >> heather, thank you very much. let's go outside. it is the first full day of spring and maria molina is outside our world headquarters. >> and i know you love science trivia, so we have spring trivia today. >> all right. >> so today's question is, the first day of spring is technically called, is it a, the spring solstice. b, vernal equinox. c, easter equinox or d, autumnal equinox. >> i'm being b. >> that's correct. all right. so b. the vernal equinox. yesterday was the start of it and what that means is when the sun crosses the equator and most people know as a day that has equal amounts of daylight and nighttime, which is technically not correct everywhere. >> what's our prize now, because
5:42 am
the guy in the wheel of fortune thing won $45,000. what too we get? >> brian's book. >> fantastic. >> maria, what state are you in? where do they have you today? >> i'm out here in new york city and let's switch gears and talk about the weather now because we want to show everyone that we do have temperatures that are going to be feeling like spring for many of you across the northeast and parts of the midwest as well. look at chicago. your high today is forecast to reach 61 degrees. enjoy it while you have it because we are expecting colder temperatures to move in. take a look at sunday. you're going to be in the 30s in chicago. teens in marquette. and by monday, to kick off the next workweek, we're expecting that cold air to hit the northeast and even parts of the carolinas. raleigh in the 40s. boston and buffalo, you're going to be in the upper 20s. there are some rumors that we could see our next winter storm during springtime across parts of the midwest and also the northeast come tuesday into wednesday. still several days out that.
5:43 am
could change. across parts of the upper midwest, we have snow coming down now. wisconsin, parts of minnesota. several inches expected and some snow flying around as well across parts of new england. let's head back inside. >> snow for the first day of spring. thank you very much. >> congratulations. you won my book! >> thank you! >> i knew how it ends. >> if you got two right, i would have signed it for you. >> wait. >> 17 before the top of the hour. >> coming up straight ahead, it's the largest phone scam the irs has ever seen. what you need to know before your account gets wiped out. >> and she was so toned, a gym employee told her to cover up. the reason? she was swimming other people. mario lopez knows it and he's got a little something to say about that. >> even intimidates mario. is this the bacon and cheese diet? this is the creamy chicken corn chowder. i mean, look at it. so indulgent.

>> irs calling it the biggest phone scam ever. elizabeth prann is live in washington with what you need to know to not be a victim. elizabeth? >> good morning. you're right. it's sweeping the nation. the irs says more than 20,000 taxpayers have been hit, costing victims more than a million dollars. this is how it works. fake irs agents have been calling taxpayers, knowing personal information, initially immigrants were the target, but the scam has certainly become more widespread. these agents claim to be collecting taxes and they walk the caller through payment instructions, either using debit cards or wire transfers. those who refuse are threatened, either by arrest or deportation. here are some of the red flags. first, they're using common names and fake irs badge numbers. they also know the last four digits' of the victim's social security number, but not the whole number. the caller i.d. information does appear as if the irs is calling. they're also sending bogus follow-up e-mails to support
5:48 am
their scam. they're also calling a second time claiming to be the police or the department of motor vehicle. again, look for the caller i.d it does support their claim. remember that irs agents typically contact people first by mail and government officials don't demand payment by credit card or debit card or even wire transfer. brian, back to you. >> how terrible. thanks so much. as you can see, 'cause the irs -- excuse me? >> you said elizabeth. >> it was elizabeth. >> i'm saying you could see when the irs calls, you don't want to screw around. meanwhile, straight ahead. >> a woman says she got kicked out of the gym for being too toned. hollywood star mario lopez knows a thing or two about working out. he's fit to be tied over this story. >> i like it. but first we're going to check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> i'm confused on my elisabeth now. >> i know. >> have a great weekend.

topics, the president recently put out a pitch, drop your cell phone and get obamacare. instead ofaking these choices here, you should be make the better choice, don't be so frivolous with your spending. be more frugal. sign up for obamacare. but he was making it to a spanish speaking audience. did you feel as though that was an insult to the community and the decisions that they make? >> i think he for a while now, has done a lot of press in the latino market specifically and it's funny, 'cause i was that close to giving up my cell phone for lent when he said give up your cell phone. i realized it was too difficult to kind of do that with kids and everything. >> use a pay phone. >> i'm used to him sort of really targeting the latino market and much like many people, they have changed views and i think the polls speak for themselves on what they are. but i will say this, i will say that i've learned a lot recently
