new countries where the president is ranked the most popular leader in the world. he's there right now. >> he's one of the most famous names ioç wrestling. now hulk hogan is set to return to the ring. but first he's got to get past this couch. >> good luck. >> mornings are better with hulk and with friends. >> this is hulk hogan, the greatest of all time. i'm slammin' and jammin' on "fox & friends." >> that is the longest diatribe i've heard. hulk hogan is making a come back. he's got like plates in hisç spine. >> i didn't know anything about wrestling but everyone knew who he was. >> wrestle mania is 31 years old this year and hulk is the big announcer.

he's going to be with us to make exciting announcements coming up on "fox & friends." >> president obama has just wrapped up a press conference in the netherlands. he's there for the nuclear summit but the ukraine crisis is front and center. peter doocy live in washington where the world leaders are concerned about -- what are the world leaders concerned about today? >> reporter: they are there for a nuclear summit but all the talk is about the ukraine. this morning, president obama we saw him speak standing next to the dutch prime minister and he didn't announce anything new with regard to what to do about russia's aggression in ukraine, but he did say that at this meeting with theç leaders of the g-7 where putin was not invited, they are going to talk about the way forward. president obama stressed again, as he has and as all administration officials have been doing, the importance of sanctions against top russian officials. he says those sanctions are going to have a huge impact

on russia's economy. he talked about that, also in the context in a way of how sanctions brought iran to the table. so he did mention that. what was very revealing though earlier, just a little while before president obama spoke, he gave an interview to a dutch newspaper and he said that the united states does not think thatç europe is -- needs to be viewed in the context of east versus west. he says the united states does not view europe as a battle ground between east as west, nor do we see the situation in the ukraine as a zero-sum game. that is the kind of thinking that should have ended with the cold war. the ukrainian people do not have to choose between east and west. yesterday on the sunday shows we heard mitt romney. he was talking about how now it's been about five years since hillary clinton, then-secretary of state, gave russian diplomats an actual physical reset button. he says if the obama

administration thought that giving the russians gifts, conceding to the russians was going to make them change their behavior, now we know that's not the case. >> peter doocy live in d.c. with the latest. let's update you on the search for that airplane. moments agoç australian officials announced they have spotted two objects. one is round, one is rectangular. they hope to get some ships in there in the next hour two. this comes on the heels of the chinese earlier today, a chinese search plane found some suspicious objects, two large ones. one in particular was 74 feet by 43 feet wide which is too wide to have come from an airplane. there is an update in the last hour or so where the chinese foreign minister says they cannot confirm that the big thing is in any way related to the jetliner. >> that big thing, is that what they spotted saturday morning? chinese officials picked up a spotç on saturday and yesterday for about ten hours they searched.

>> then they found this. saturday images were blurry. >> saturday's images were from a satellite. the images we're talking about here came from an airplane. somebody saw it with their eyes. >> the australian prime minister made this announcement. he said we found some things that are promising from march 16 that showed that this could be the size of plane debris. we're not sure. everything started focusing in that area. before today we had four sightings. this will be the fifth sighting. it has been tough going today and they've got to fly low. it willç be interesting getting somebody on the ground. we are getting consistent reports in this area of debris that size. the question is how long will it float if it is parts of a plane?

>> experts say even if it was a wing with a fuel tank that was empty it is doubtful it will float past ten days. also this morning apparently they were able to track, shortly after the airplane made that big turn to the west, it dropped down to 12,000 feet and experts feel that was intentional to avoid radar. if it was at 12,000 feet, considering the fact that apparently there was -- or some traffic, that is a very busy air corridor, atç 12,000 feet it would have been cleared pretty much to fly anywhere. >> the floatation devices, they say when you're on an airplane your seat floats. wouldn't we see 200-some odd seats floating. today another p-8 poisedon u.s. navy plane and two chinese transport aircraft and two japanese patrols.

>> still looking heavily into the pilot's background. over the weekend it became clear the phone call he got into the cockpit he got to him was from a burner phone, a throw-away phone used by somebody with a false i.d. there is some investigation there. now we found out about twoç iranians with the phony passport. some were saying don't worry about them, they just wanted asylum. photos theyt upon looking submitted, malaysian authorities submitted and made public, they have the same legs. photo shop reveals and the naked eye would show even without corrective lenses that they put the torso on the same legs. >> that is not even done well. look at the image on the left. cut in half. it looks like the same half. >> these are the two iranian guys who got on board with fake passports. the worry is has there been

some sort of a coverup. malaysian authorities said no, we just made aç little mistake. if you could put that up one more second, mark, apparently what they say is somebody placed one picture on top of the other when it was photo copied and you can see the legs are the saeufplt and you can see -- the legs are the same. the guy on the left, you see that white line through it? how could nobody spot this in the last dozen days? >> someone behind the scenes has access to that, would be responsible for this. >> i think when the malaysian officials released these images of the iranian guys, they had the two pictures and according to the malaysians they had one picture on top of the other and that is why it looks like they've got the same legs. it does look fishy. just saying. you throw that on the heels of the burner phone, the guy took -- the pilot had a phone call for twoç minutes before they took off.

>> it's one of the biggest stories around the world. wouldn't they get the photos correct? wouldn't they get that right if they're going to release those? >> eight minutes after the hour. heather nauert, welcome to the week. >> we've been following this devastating story coming out of the washington state. in a few hours from now recovery efforts and rescue efforts will begin again. this is a fox news alert. eight people are now dead and two dozen remain missing at this hour in that massive mudslide in washington. the huge pile of debris spans about one square mile and it runs several feet deep. >> the devasta(5=9 is unrelenting. people have seen pictures of course, but it is ten times more devastating when you see it yourself. >> the conditions are very, very muddy. in places it is still like quicksand. other areas are not accessible at this time. >> 30 homes have been destroyed. rescue crews said all the

efforts have been used to find anyone who may still be trapped. we'll keep watching this story. frantic efforts underway to try to stop a massive oil spill near the gulf of texas. skimming boats are helping with the cleanup. oil residue has been spotted as far out as 12 miles into the gulf. right now the shipping channel is closed and it is blocking more than 60 vesselsç including three cruise ships. today marks, by the way, the 25th anniversary of the exxon valdez spill. it caused the largest oil spill in u.s. history. obamacare is headed to the u.s. supreme court. hobby lobby is fighting over the mandate in the health care. the hobby lobby owner says this mandate goes against

located two objects in the australian search area. one circular and one recognizeç rectangular. each is in the vicinity of the search area and it is possible the objects could be received within the next few hours or by tomorrow morning. >> that is the next step, getting a ship to see if they can check out these debris sightings to see if in fact they can find the debris and if that debris came from an airliner. this has been a complicated part of the search coordinating what the aircrafts see with what the ships find. the current can be swift and move these objects around over a considerable distance over a short period of time. the u.s. navy is not waiting for confirmation. they are preparing as far as their equipment goes and bringing in a deviceç they

we're going to hear straight from the director this hour. >> thank you very much for joining us on this 7:00 o'clock morning edition of "fox & friends" because mornings are better with friends. >> this is larry gatlin and you're watching "fox & friends" and if you ain't, why not? >> got a good point. if you ain't, why not? >> right. i know larry is watching and just to prove it, tweet u quick. huge hour. i always love mondays 'cause mondays mean donald trump is on. also charles krauthammer is in the wings and we also have abbey wombach. >> and we've got ainsley. >> that's not important. i'm fill not guilty for elisabeth. so nice to be here. >> great to have you. >> we've got big news out of the search area. they sent some planes out there. they've seen some stuff. heather nauert joins us with the very latest. >> malaysian officials holding a press conference a short while ago. that's where this information is

coming from. new developments in the search for malaysian airline flight 370. australian pilots spotting two objects in the indian ocean that could be from the plane. malaysian officials making this announcement just a bit ago. >> a few minutes ago, the prime minister received a call from the prime minister of australia who informed him that an australian search aircraft had located two objects in the australian search area. one circular and one rectangular each is in the vicinity and possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours or by tomorrow morning. >> we will be watching that one. this latest information coming after two other suspicious objects were spotted by a chinese airplane that couldn't be located by the u.s. navy. we'll keep you posted on these

developments. officials confirming eight people are dead and as many as two dozen still remain missing at this hour in that massive mud slide in washington state. a huge pile of debris spanning one square mile and several feet deep. >> devastation is just unrelenting. he'll have seen pictures -- people have seen picture, but it's ten times more devastating when you see it yourself. >> the conditions are very, very muddy. in places, it is still like quick sand. other areas are just not accessible at this time. >> 30 homes have also been destroyed. rescue crews say all the efforts are being used to find anyone who still may be trapped. we'll keep you posted. more help is being called in this morning to try to contain a massive oil spill in houston's ship channel near galveston, texas. 70,000 gallons of a tar-like oil spilling into that shipping channel when a ship and a barge

collided there. oil residue has been spotted as far as 12 miles out into the gulf. skimming boats are on the scene helping with the clean-up efforts. this shipping channel, which is one of the world's busiest, closed and it's now blocking more than 60 vessels. if you can see some of the cruise ships also blocked, filled with passengers. today marks the 25th anniversary of the exxon valdez spill. it hit a reef in alaska and caused the largest oil spill in u.s. history. one more week to get people signed up for obamacare and instead of twerking videos like this one, some health care strike teams, that's what they're calling them, will tweet out graphics that highlight the law and share some success stories. obamacare celebrating four years yesterday, the mark when the president said you would benefit -- that you would see the benefits of his changes. do you remember this? >> these reforms won't give the

government more control over your health care. they certainly won't give the insurance companies more control over your health care. these reforms give you more control over your health care. the other changes i'm signing into law will take several years to implement fully. that's because this is a difficult, complex issue and we want to get it right. >> open enrollment ends march 31. we'll keep watching to see how many people enroll in that. those are your headlines. eight more days. >> happy anniversary, obamacare. we have viewer responses. >> we do. we wanted to know whether or not your health coverage today is better off than it was four years ago. justin says, due to double premiums, i lost my health care at the turn of the year. i wish he just would admit the law is a failure. >> sean and pam say that a big thumbs down. how can this be the affordable care act when i pay more for less coverage? >> and this is not how ruth

sounds, i know i am not better off. had to wait a month to see a doctor. now let's bring in donald trump. donald trump, four years ago today obamacare passed. how has it gone, in your estimation? >> well, i would say that probably and i'm not even talking about the web site being screwed up, probably it could not have gone worse. when i listen to his phony speeches, such lies, such incredible lies. you would think to a point where you could actually go to court and have it revoked. but it has been a -- it's a complete catastrophe for people and you look at it. you see the results all the time. i was with a man the other day who has a small business. he's got about 18 employees and he called it the cadillac plan, a great plan. he always had it. he took care of his employees. now he can't do it anymore and they have to take care of themselves and frankly, he said it's costing them so much money, he doesn't know. he's probably going to have to close his business. it has been a complete and

unmitigated disaster. >> the cadillac turned into an edsle. >> we have a fox news alert. another reset, perhaps president obama spoke moments ago in the netherlands. just before he did talk about the crisis in ukraine, moments ago. >> europe and america are united in our support of the ukrainian government and ukrainian people. we're united in imposing a cost on russia for its actions so far. prime minister rightly pointed out the growing sanctions would bring significant consequences to the russian economy. >> it's just such a mess over there, donald trump. who needs a foreign policy when you've got a nobel peace prize? >> yeah, that's some nobel peace prize. that's really one of the great jokes of all time. you look at what went on there and a lot of people lost a lot of respect for the nobel peace prize. look, we are in a state that we

probably haven't been in for maybe since the founding of the country. it's very sad. even if you look at what's happening with other countries, so many other things are happening. the chances of china as an example, devaluing their currency were absolutely no chance because they couldn't do it because of us. now we're so weak they just devalued their currency, which is a killer for us. just a killer in terms of our job and in terms of jobs and making product and everything else. they would never have done this, even two years ago, they would have never done this. now they just did it again. people were shocked by it. they have tremendous surpluses. so things are happening with us that are unbelievable. we're just not a respected country anymore. >> ed mitt romney was on some of the sunday shows yesterday and he was talking about that, saying that president obama has been naive, that the esteem of our country has fallen under the president and that we've lost respect. what do you think about that?

>> mitt was right and he was also right when mentioned in one of the debates about russia. he said russia is our biggest problem and russia is really -- >> he said more of a problem than al-qaeda. >> he said it's a hell of a problem and everybody laughed at him, including certain media, by the way. they laughed. and it turned out that he's absolutely right. you look at what russia is doing with iran, how they control the situation and syria and virtually every other place. we were thrown out of every place. i'm not saying we should be there. we should rebuild our own schools and our own bridges and highways and everything else, but to be scoffed at and thrown around the way we're being thrown around is absolutely unthinkable. >> keep in mind, the sanctions, europe says they're going to get behind them. since they offered the sanctions, the stock market in russia opened up sharply lower, the rating group says they're certain to downgrade the russian credit. do you feel the sanctions will get vladimir putin's attention?

>> not at all. what he took over in terms of what he within in and took from the ukraine, that's the wealth, that's the heart, that's the real power and the real wealth. sew took the heart out of it. no, this this is peanuts compared to what he's getting. he's rebuilding the russian empire. that's his thing. i watched over the weekend the russian people are in love with him. they think he's like a god now. obviously their poll numbers, we don't want to count them too much. we had our own poll numbers and his poll numbers are through the roof. the people love him. they love what he's doing. you look at obama's poll numbers, they're at a record low. so it's really very sad for the country. it's very sad what's happening. we have to focus on our own country. certainly we have to do that. but it would be nice to have respect. it would be nice to go back to making those great deals where this country was making tremendous amounts of money so we can take care of our people. that includes health care and

social security, et cetera. >> speaking of poll numbers, one of the biggest, most popular programs on nbc is "celebrity apprentice." you just announced the line - up, it includes our own geraldo rivera and we're going to put up all the other contestants. what kind of advice would you give for geraldo? he's been around the block. >> we'd like him to win. >> i love that he's on of the he's going to do great. i'm sure. he's a smart guy. i've known him for a long time of the we start shooting right after i'm finished with this call. i go and start shooting. the apprentice has been amazing. it's 14 season, ten years. and everybody predicted when i first did it, they said, no woman will watch if donald trump is doing this. so it can't be a success. it went to the number one show on television. it's been amazing. i start shooting actually in about one half hour. i will see your friend, geraldo, and i'm going to be rough on him >> gabrielle reese is going to be on? >> i'm not allowed to say.

trump. meanwhile, we're not in kansas anymore. >> do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful oz! i said come back tomorrow! >> if you are really great and powerful, you'll keep your promises. >> why some say broken promises are earning democratic presidents like obama the wizards of washington. >> and some might call it a sign of a higher power. but is this angelic cloud real? >> looks it. ♪ ♪ [announcer] who could resist the call...

election. a lot of people think a it's all symbolism. for example, the scare crow and the tin man represent the natural alliance between the workers and the farmers. the wizard is supposed to be president mckinley, dorothy is the essential goodness in all of us. and my favorite are the witches. the wicked witch of the east was destroyed by a house falling on her because she represented mortgage bankers. that was before bailouts. the wicked witch of the west represented the big threat to the farmers. that was drought. that's why she was doused with some water. and the story goes on and on, the ruby slippers were originally silver because it was about monetary policy. >> then mckinley gets shot. >> then a whole new era. >> we're waiting for the next legend. but it's a learning tool, you think for today. >> it's a learning tool. what we just saw, they pull back the curtain, the american people are starting to realize the wizards of washington can't

solve our problems for us. we have to do it ourselves. we need to find ways to solve problems in our community. >> you look at clinton, bush and now at obama. one thing they all have in common, they all lost congress during name time because people were disillusioned. >> right. and that has never before happened in american history in three consecutive presidential elections. it's a fundamental rejection of both parties. >> 67% of the country right now when asked say they'd like to replace all of congress. so there is a whole disillusionment going on and it's very sad. >> it is. it gets back to the fact that we have been misled into believing that if we just get involved in this campaign, if we work tirelessly and put up with all the garbage that goes on in a campaign and watch all the negative ads, that how it will all get better. >> he's president of the rasmussen media group. scott, thank you for joining us. >> thanks. 19 minutes after the hour. let me tell you what's straight ahead. which of these presidents has the most frequent flyer miles on your dime? the results are just in. and it's a movie about when god told noah to build an ark.

joining us now to weigh in on this is fox news religion contributor father jonathan. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> how do you make a movie about noah, the story in the bible, noah, who was created by god, without mentioning the word god? that's like writing an american history book without mentioning george washington. >> yes. to be fair, movementy does use the word creator in referencing god. the problem is that the bible uses the word god. and so i think although there is a fancy explanation for it given by the director now, talking about, well, he's showing this is an age different from our age, using the word creator doesn't quite work. creator is a very good word. there is some environmentalists who would hate to use that word, creator, right, preferring perhaps mother nature. so to be fair, he uses a good word, but the bible in genesis

talks about god. >> we've seen three great christian movies that are just being produced and released this week, or over the last two weeks. i was excited about that. as a christian, i thought gosh, these are great. it's good america is watching these and going to the movies and seeing these christian films. but is this hollywood kind of coming out here, not wanting to tell the true story? >> gosh, i hope not, because i love hollywood and what hollywood is capable of doing from an artistic point of view. but if you're going to make a movie about the bible, you have to start, start from a faith perspective. unless, of course, you're trying to say it's not true. but you can't go in a halfway. this is the 10th anniversary, for example, of the film "the passion of the christ." i had the blessing of working on the set for that film. it was a starting point of faith. i'm hoping that so much money put into this movie, "noah," is going to have that faith perspective as a starting point.

unfortunately, the way at least they're pushing it out to the public, i'm not feeling it. >> let's hear their side of the story. kevin mccarthy interviewed someone with the film. he's a fox news contributor. this is the director. >> the pre-flood times are a very, very different setting. it's a magical, fantasticcal world, a mythical world. you look at the story, there are people living for hundreds of years. giant angels walked on the planet. this is all in the story. everything is a miracle and -- mine, there is not even rainbows. so what do skies look like? so we need to do create a world that was very, very different than our own world. >> what's your reaction? >> well, gosh, i just wish they would have had people consulting them from a faith perspective from the beginning because iciness good will on his apartment he's an awesome director. we've got awesome actors, russell crowe, but it's not

going to work if you just try to use huge artistic license on a bible story that's very short and then try to come somewhere if between. i think they had great opportunities, but it's not looking good. >> thank you so much for being with us. father jonathan, we appreciate it. >> and i hope i'm wrong. absolutely. >> we'll all go see it and find out. thank you. still ahead, news of a possible cover-up in the missing plane. why do security photos of the two iranians have the exact same legs. have the pictures been doctored? and as the president follows his march madness bracket, a republican senator has his own bracket. it's a constitutional bracket. the elight eight just announced

david piper has more. when will ships arrive in that area and when will we find out what the pieces are? >> reporter: we understand that the malaysian authorities that the ship will arrive within a few hours time. the search plane from australia, it's announced two objects it sighted. one is rectangular and orange, the other green and circular. at the moment, we're still waiting for the ship to arrive there. >> each success is in the vicinity and it's possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours or by tomorrow morning. >> reporter: the chinese search plane has reported seeing what it describes as suspicious objects floating in the southern indian ocean. the crew was quoted as saying they saw two relatively big objects and many smaller white ones scattered over an area of several miles. the australian authorities

saying these objects are in a different area to the one sighted by the plane. ten planes from the u.s., china, japan and australia have been involved in the search. they have to fly around four hours to the search area, which is 1500 miles southwest of perth, australia. the search has been focusing on possible debris that's been spotted by satellite in recent days. the search is likely to face deteriorating weather conditions in the coming days. meanwhile, u.s. pacific command says it's moving a black box locator to the region as a precautionary measure in case the debris field is located. that locator will be dragged behind a ship and try to pick up those pings from the black box. back to you. >> all right. david piper live in thailand. by the way, we should point out the search area is 12 hours ahead of us. so the night has fallen there. >> right. the weather was not actually cooperating as he was discussing. so far earlier today australian officials did announce they spotted the two objects.

and they are sending ships to that region. as they get over there, we realized as we started the show today, this was really the fifth sighting of similar be brie in this area -- debris in this area. >> today marks the first time they've seen it from an airplane rather than a satellite. let's talk a little bit about something we touched on last week. sources say according to military radar, flight 370 was at cruising altitude and then it made that turn to the west that we told you about. that was picked up as well. but as soon as it made a turn to the west, it pretty much did a nose dive, it flew as low as 12,000 feet before it disappeared from the radar. the experts say the sharp turn seems intentional. it would have taken two minutes, it would have been heart to notice. if the pilot or whoever was flying the plane, if this is the case was at 12,000 feet, there are a number of air corridors down there. they would have safely been out of the traffic of other jet liners.

>> that's one of the unanswered questions this morning. the second unanswered question this morning are the photos. these were two of the guys, the two guys that were on the flight that are from iran and they had the fake passports. they had real passports from iran going to malaysia, but then flying out. one was carrying an italian passport. one an austria passport. look at the one on the left, clearly doctored. now, officials are saying this is just by mistake. they were photocopying the pictures and one was overlapping the others. the question is, why haven't they set the correction if that's the case? you can see the guy on the left carrying what looks like a duffel bag. but the bottom you can't see because the legs are not his. >> why did it take almost two weeks for anybody to notice, hey, wait a minute, they've got the same legs? >> i don't know. you really got to wonder, you very rarely see surveillance video that's been photo shopped. but this was unintentionally photo shopped of the two

passengers they claim who by one man gotten sole -- stolen passports. but the malaysians say we didn't mean to make a mistakes. lots of other stuff going on in the world. heather? >> it looks like a really big mistake was made earlier this morning at chicago's o'hare airport. another fox news alert that we're bringing you right now. a commuter train this morning at chicago's o'hare international airport jumps the track and injures at least 30 people at the airport. the injuries are believed to be serious, we are hearing right now. a transit authority spokesperson says it was an eight-car train and it failed to stop at an underground station. it apparently jumped up the sidewalk and went up an escalator before it finally stopped. look at some of these pictures we're getting in from chicago. authorities say they are still trying to piece together this accident, but they believe that the train may have been going too fast. we'll keep watching this for

you. crews working throughout the night in hopes of finding survivors in that massive mud slide that took place over the weekend in washington state. at least eight people are dead so far and several others are still listed as missing. there is a huge pile of debris that spans one square mile. it's very dangerous. >> devastation is just unrelenting. people have seen picture, of course, but it is ten times more devastating when you see it yourself. >> the conditions are very, very muddy. in places it is still like quicksand. other areas are just not accessible at this time. >> in addition to the deaths, about 30 homes have been destroyed. right now crews say that all their efforts are being used to find anyone who may still be trapped. but those conditions are still considered very dangerous for rescue workers. obamacare headed to the supreme court. family-run craft store hobby lobby is fighting the government

over the mandate that goes against his family's faith. lawyers for the company say this could be a landmark case for religious liberty. >> it's an important case because this is about the right of every business owner in america to run his or her business according to their religious convictions and their deeply held moral beliefs. the time honored constitutional tradition in this country and that's what this case is about. >> the owners of hobby lobby say they don't oppose all contraception, just for specific drugs that cause abortion. opening statements in that set for tomorrow at the supreme court. democrats have one more week to get folks signed up for obamacare. instead of those twerking videos like this one, some health care strike teams will start tweeting out graphics that will highlight the law and share some success stories. obamacare celebrating four years yesterday. of course, you remember when president obama said that your health care would be better.

>> these reforms won't give the government more control over your health care. they certainly won't give the insurance companies more control over your health care. these reforms give you more control over your health care. the other changes i'm signing into law will take several years to implement fully, but that's because this is a difficult, complex issue and we want to get it right. >> all right. so did they get it right? we asked you if your health care coverage is better today than it was four years ago and you've been getting some of those responses. people have been tweeting and e-mailing. what are they saying? >> indeed. mark tweeted, the only thing that changed in my health care is the cost. up, up and away. >> kristy posted this on facebook. it would be better if he had a congress that was willing to work with him instead of dividing the country. >> and michelle e-mailed us and said obamacare is one of the main causes that the company my husband has worked for over 15 years is closing by the end of

the month. just wait until the mandate comes in. the thing is, even if you say, obamacare is -- had is what i think it is, you really don't know what it is because there has been close to 30 things that have been just suspended or waived temporarily. once president obama leaves, will we feel the full impact. it's not to make it better. it's to lessen the pain. >> to democrats who are running for office in november. >> they'll feel the pain. >> speaking at the end of the month, great big blockbuster is coming out called "noah" and it stars russell crowe where he stars as noah, the guy who built the boat and then it rained a lot. what's interesting is, you had a great interview with father jonathan about what is missing from the movie. >> the word, god, is missing from the noah movie. god created noah. this is a story in the bible. they did use the word creator versus god or any reference to higher power. they did say creator. but the director is defending why he did that and didn't use the word god.

take a listen. >> putting the word god in, which is people -- people have so many ideas about what that is, we wanted to give the show -- show the mindset of these people at that time was different and for us, they were ten generations descended from creation, so creation is a recent memory and that is the most miraculous thing that happened, you know, ever, but for these people, being so close, we felt a direct relation to the creator and what he had done would sort of emphasize that and sort of separate it, make it a different world. >> kevin mccarthy is awesome. you saw him getting this interview. great job. >> considering the people who are going to go to the movie, it does seem curious that they wouldn't mention god. i get the creator part. what's up with that? >> i'm not sure. >> what's up with that? >> we'll find out. i don't know what it's going to do at the box office, but they spent a lot of money on it. coming up straight ahead.

>> should unions be allowed to tag along with government safety inspectors when they visit nonunion businesses? does that sound right? what's up with that? legal expert peter johnson, jr. coming up next. and get this, guys, hard drugs, really hard drugs headed for the vatican. wait until you hear how smugglers tried to sneak their shipment inside the vatican.

listen to this, should labor unions be allowed to go along with u.s. government safety inspectors when they visit nonunion businesses?

well, it is happening thanks to a subtle rule clarification by the obama administration. is the government quietly blackmailing companies to unionize? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. takes a closer look. i don't know blackmailing, but certainly there is pressure. >> i don't know about this. has the federal government entered the protection racket? we had a situation last fall where the seiu visited nonunion workplaces with osha. that's the federal agency that looks at safety in the workplace. and together they went into nonunion businesses. businesses that were not represented by seiu, and the other unions. so do we have a situation in this country now where big federal government is putting its arm around the seiu, which is the president's good pal. they were to the white house 116 times, to say hey, this is a pretty good union there. maybe you should hook up with these folks and if you don't

hook up with these folks, nonunion business, maybe osha will be coming down your smoke stack big, big time. so they've written a letter, the actual federal government osha folks said, no, it's okay. this is a third party like an industrial hygienist or safety expert and they can come along even when there is not a collective bargaining agreement. so the federal government and seiu, big one happy family. >> what genius in the federal government thought this was a good idea? >> it's political genius. i was talking to dr. charles krauthammer before, he's going to talk about more of this later in the show. this is the state of our government. there is no capacity for shame or embarrassment in terms of doing stuff like this. so if you worry about worker safety, if you worry about the independence of the workplace, if you worry about separation between government and unions and then you see this where the federal government has said seiu

and others, you come with us and we'll look and see if there is gloves, if there is masks and see if they're complying with the federal rules and say, what do you think, seiu representative, maybe you should bang them with a citation. okay. we'll do that. where are the workers left? where are the workers' self-determination in terms of whether they want to be with the union or not and where are the businesses who now have the heavy hand of the government, plus the union that wants to go after them? >> peter, just the fact that you got the osha guy right here and next to him is the union guy, the implicit message to the nonunion shop is, we're equal here. we're coming to check up on you. >> unions have a great and important role in our history. i come from a union family. my father helped reform the dock workers in new york, which was corrupt and criminal. but at the same time the federal government and the white house should not be singing this

song,. ♪ look for the union label >> in houston, the business had the sense to say stay out. i dare the federal government to bring an action to demand that these labor unions get into these workplaces. they tried it at the philadelphia airport, stay out. it's wrong. it's wrong. i believe the people should have the right to unionize, but the federal government should not be putting their arm around them and putting the hammer to businesses that have decided not to be union in this country. >> really an eye opener. >> self-determination. >> you going to sing again tomorrow? >> every day. have a good week. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. should parents be allowed to take their kids' bullies to court. what about the bully's parents? that's coming up. and we've got new "fox & friends." the latest edition to the san diego zoo. they're making a couch call, straight ahead as we take a walk on the wild side

for president obama in the 2012 election. mitt romney is not taking another shot at the white house. the former governor says there are strong republican leaders for the 2016 nomination, but he won't be one. >> i'm thinking about the people who i want to see running for president and there is quite a group. we have a very strong field of leaders who could become our nominee and could stand up for the kind of leadership i think america wants. >> romney went on to say even though he won't run, he'll do his part to go after democrats in congress and other candidates. those are your headlines. i'll see new a bit. >> thanks. up we if to the streets of new york city where currently maria, it's 22 degrees. we're in spring. it should be warmer. >> you're right. temperatures well below average here across the northeast and also in the midwest. guess what, we also have a little bit of snow that's forecast with this cold air over the next couple of days. look at your high for today. it will only be 16 in caribou,

maine. here is a look at the forecast model. you can see we are expecting some snow and also some rain to start developing across the mid-atlantic as early as tuesday afternoon, into the evening hours. then tuesday overnight into wednesday morning, that storm system really ramps up and that heavy snow starts to pick up across parts of southeastern new england and also into the state of maine. we're expecting wind gusts as strong as 60 miles per hour across southeastern massachusetts. that is going to be a concern. there is a blizzard watch that has been issued for the cape and that's where we could see more than a foot of snow. generally speaking, for the northeast, because the storm system is taking a track farther away from the coast, we are going to be seeing snow totals on the lower side. maybe three inches widespread across the northeast. higher totals across southeastern massachusetts and more than six inches forecast for down east maine where a winter storm watch is in effect. let's head back inside. >> batten down the hatches. thank you.

it was an extra special day for ten-year-old josh shrek. >> you ever watch "duck dynasty"? >> yes, sir. >> i play willie on the show. >> josh thought he was getting a tour of the duck commander headquarters warehouse. but willie robertson surprised him with something much bigger behind door number one. >> it's really exciting to see my son. it's just going to be awesome. i can't wait for this moment. >> a reunion with his dad who was deployed overseas in afghanistan. you just witnessed it live. josh joins us now, along with his dad, u.s. air force master sergeant scott shrek, and his brother, joseph, who got the ball rolling with the plan. on the phone, "duck dynasty" superstar willie robertson.

welcome to all of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> first off, whose idea was this? >> this would have been my idea. >> joe, how did you pull it off? >> my father met willie in afghanistan on the uso tour and i got ahold of their publicist and they were great in helping get the ball rolling from the publicist to the staff and willie and cory couldn't have been more helpful and more gracious with this whole thing. >> sure. and joe, the reason you were doing this is 'cause your brother, josh, this was -- your dad was deployed over christmas and it was really taking its toll on your little brother, wasn't it? >> it was. the whole family, mother included. it's a rough time having someone gone, especially in a war zone country. it's tough. it really is. >> josh, you didn't see your dad for christmas like we just said. he was gone for seven months.

what was going through your mind when that door opened up and you saw your dad? >> well, it was pretty cool seeing him for such a long time not seeing him. didn't know what else to do. just run and jump in his arms. >> willie, we have been -- oh, my goodness. brings a tear. willie, we've been down to your headquarters. we've been in that warehouse. it's nice that you're able to help this family. i'm sure you get a lot of requests. why did you decide to go ahead and grant this one? >> well, whenever they approached me with it, i've always wanted to be a part of doing the whole -- i love those reunion stories and then they said that i had met him in kandahar, and i thought, we got to do this. he hasn't been back since i've seen him. so being able to be part of that was really special for not just me, but my whole staff and having it right there in the store. these are all fans coming in.

>> master sergeant, when that garage door goes up, what were you thinking? >> it was amazing to see him. it was great that the whole surprise and willie and the staff were able to pull it off. >> what did it mean to you when willie was over there, when you were over there? >> it was great. kind of gave us -- it's not a great place to be. it just gave us a break from everything that's going on around us. kind of a little comedy relief. it just kind of takes you away from where you are. it was great. >> there is one of the images from the uso tour in december of 2013. josh, how did it feel when you jumped in your dad's arms? >> well, i don't know how to describe it. it was just really cool to see him. >> you didn't want to let him go, did you?

>> no. >> you know, josh, i'm look at that vertical there, you're going to be an nfl combine soon. you were as tall as your dad there for a second. >> yeah. willie, you have so many fans watching, so many servicemen and women that are watching. a message to them this morning? >> just tell them to stay strong. it was so good to be over there with them. i wasn't sure even if they watched the show when we went over and once we got there, we realized there were a lot of fans over there. so even though it rained the night i saw scott, even though rained, we kept it going. >> willie, good thing there is no draft that makes you shave that beard. >> oh, no, no, no. i'm going to keep this beard. >> thank you so much for your support of the military and master sergeant shrek, thank you so much for serving our country and to your boys for sacrificing their dad for awful us. >> joe, you're a master planner. thanks so much. great job. >> yeah, excellent. >> thank you.

fox news alert. president obama arrived in the netherlands right when our show started. he's there for the nuclear summit. but first on the agenda, russia and the ukraine. here to comment on the crisis there, russia's reaction best selling author, his book is now still among the best sellers called "things that matter" which sold over 900,000 copies. charles, first off, the president of the united states came out and said he wanted to look at everything through cold war lens. in fact, he said the united states does not view europe as a

battle ground between east and west, nor do we see the situation in ukraine as a zero sum game. the ukrainian people do not have so cheese between east and west. your reaction? >> when he says that's the kind of thinking that should have ended with the cold war, he is admitting to the world that he's living in a fantasy world. it did not end with the cold war. putin gave a speech on tuesday last week when he announced he was going to absorb crimea, which he laid out his world view in unbelievable detail and with complete honesty in the sense of showing his world view. and he said essentially, russia was swindled at the end of the cold war, swindled of its empire, swindled of its colonies and of its own territory and he said i'm here to get it back. he announced that and our president, still having not learned the lesson, pretends

that this doesn't exist because it shouldn't exist. the fact is it does exist. >> here is the thing, charles, we have put sanctions on some of the richest people there. they have caused the stock market to open up low and finch is threatening to downgrade their credit. is that going to scare vladimir putin? >> this for him is but a speed bump on the highway to a return to russian greatness. if anyone imagines that sanctions on -- what is it now -- about 20 cronies is going to do anything to halt this man's march to restore what he sees as justice for russia, they are living on the moon. and the problem with our leaders is that they are. when jimmy carter was in the phase of sort of accepting the soviets and then the soviets invaded afghanistan, he woke up and he did very strong sanctions. >> didn't go to the olympics.

>> but he canceled the grain shipments. he also increased the defense budget. and he did something extremely important. he began to heavily arm the mew jew -- muhadean. do you know what obama did when the ukrainian prime minister was in washington and constituent to the pentagon and asked for weapons? pentagon said no. they gave them mre's, rations. >> which by the way, haven't even arrived yet. it's an embarrassment. now, dick during win was on -- during win was on. he said mitt, take a bow. you said russia is the number one geopolitical threat and they laughed at you, the president got mad at you and now it turns out your right. he also said if the president showed some strength earlier, we wouldn't have been in this predix amount in the ukraine. here is dick durbin responding. >> in the midst of the vietnam war when the united states was deeply involved in that war,

brezhnev invaded czechoslovakia. in the midst of our wars in iraq and afghanistan, putin invaded georgia. let's call it for what it is. here is vladimir putin with a failing soviet franchise and when he can't win the hearts and minds of his neighboring nation, he uses energy extortion, mass gunmen, and barbed wire. he is a bully. we've got to call him for what he is. but this notion that some sanction is going to stop a formal colonel in the kgb from his ambitions of a russian empire is naive. >> he's right about sanctions. they're not going to stop him. however, we now know putin is poised on the frontiers of the rest of eastern ukraine. the question is, is he going to go in and take it or not? it's his for the taking if he wants. he's got to make a calculation. it's not going to be as easy as crimea was 'cause -- >> they're going to fight for this. >> they would fight. but he has to make a

calculation. is it worth it? unless we show that we're willing to arm the ukrainians and support them, i think we're going to make the calculation easier for putin. we don't want that. >> it's fascinating to see him talk himself out of his own talking point, dick durbin at the end. stick around. we'll talk about a big anniversary that's coming up. the president said he needed four years to make obamacare work. charles krauthammer reacts to that four years later because today is the anniversary of that date. but first let's check in with martha mccallum who has a great show of her own but does not have a house band yet. we're working on that. >> thanks, brian. all right. coming up at the top of the hour, search planes are in the air now and they are getting the most specific signs yet that could lead to real evidence in missing flight mh 370. all the latest on that coming up. and what we know about the real numbers on obamacare with seven days now to the deadline. karl rove joins us on that. and the latest track on the almost april nor'easter, folks, when bill and i join you at the top of the hour

it was four years ago this week that the president made this promise. >> we'll take four years to implement fully many of these reforms because we need to implement them responsibly. we need to get this right. >> so fast forward four years. are we better off now? charles krauthammer back to react. of course, the author of "things that matter," ten weeks at number on on the "new york times" best seller list. are we better off? >> look, i think there is sort of a general understanding and particularly among democrats who have to run for reelection at the end of this year that this is a disaster. i think a single payer system would at least have been logical and simple and if that's what

liberals had wanted, that's probably what they should have gone for. but this sort of insane hybrid which is essentially the federal government taking over and directing and making tens of thousands of pages of regulations for the insurers is a system that doesn't work and everybody can see it. >> you know what, charles? the administration and the people who have sold us this thing, they go, look, 5 million americans have signed up for it. what they forget to remind us is that 5 million americans or more were canceled. so it looks as if maybe as many as 1 million new people signed up, which is a tiny fraction. was it worth blowing everything up for that tiny fraction of people? >> that's exactly the point. if people had said the uninsured you have to look after, let's try to find a way to help them or to get them insurance or to protect them, say with medicare or whatever, it would have been sort of a targeted effort. but that's not what liberals want to do. they don't want targeted solutions. they want to take stuff over.

that's what obama did. so instead, they revolutionized essentially semi nationalized one sixth of the economy, intruding into people who already have health insurance and who were as you say, promised that it wouldn't be affected. you can't keep your doctor. you can't get the best hospitals. they have changed the system entirely, using the uninsured as the excuse of doing it. that, i think is the fundamental deception underlying it all. >> sure. we had a segment earlier with dr. mark siegle talking about how a lot of the prominent cancer hospitals don't accept it and so a lot of people are out in the dark. all right. charles krauthammer, get his book. it's fantastic. i read it twice. >> thanks a lot. always a pleasure. >> thank you. more "fox & friends" two minutes away
