currents will affect them differently. it is not an affect science. and they have a helicopter now and can cover more area. >> wow, thank you, william, on that. elizabeth? >> those on flight 370 and people are gathering in a mosque in a malaysian capitol focusing friday prayers on the family of the passengers. >> it is every day, but in the prospect, we hope for leads.

we hope for that on the rescue team. >> the flight disa pored on march 8th. and making it an agonizing wait for the families. in the meantime what is in the number? the latest from the obama white house enrollment numbers. how many of those 6 million have paid or are healthy. chris stireh wild. if you had all of the answers, we would have a story, right? >> it is tough to get. you know it is true. what is in this number, chris, go? >> no idea. it would be like chris, i have 6 million widgets here. it would not mean anything unless i know what is it in it? it could be good or bad news. desperate for a bright spot in the face of what is a heinous

four years for the law with public opinion. the administration is looking for anything that is good news. 6 million is a large number and does sound like a large number of things. >> it is a good headline. and someone was talking to marsha blackburn. she dropped the l word. they are lying. i mean what kind of a reaction are you putting up for republicans here. >> they don't like. it what this administration has done before and we know this, has been that they shall we say taken it in the light most favorable to the defense. and they have padded out the numbers and the president got misrepresented enrollment numbers for people signing up for medicaid and whether or not the number is true or false doesn't matter. what ultimatelyatters is how

many real live human beings are paying customers. this number includes a number maybe one in five enrollees that haven't paid and this number includes some number of people thrown out of their insurance policy they had before and were basically refugees from obama care and in a obama care safe space. what we are looking for. how many people who were healthy and young and didn't have insurance came in to buy obama care through this? >> and based on what we see about the cost of the policies, there is strong reason to think that because of the high prices, they are better off just paying the fines. >> how will we know, chris? or when will we know who is paying and who is not? >> it is going to take a while.

the insurance industry knows more than the administration wants to say. and they will let the information out. their investors and boards and regulators are going to want to know if the insurance pool is viable and if a bail out is companying. unfortunately for the vulnerable senate democrats who are holding on this election year it is closer to election day. >> can they keep that quiet until after election day? >> my first impulse would be no one would be a udashes enough to try that. it would be unprecedented if they do, but we'll leave it at that because they might. >> on wednesday, we were given extraordinary numbers. 1.5 million visits to the website in one day and 435,000

calls to the call centers. and now we can just click a box and do that from midapril and perhaps be on? we don't know. of the box clickers are they counted in the 6 million, do you know? >> i don't know. we have not seen indications from the administration that they are taking conservative efforts in relating to the numbers. i would think sure, why wouldn't you if you are willing to buzz and elied, why wouldn't you take credit for the people white house mouse was over the website. and they were covered for 90 days anyway. >> we were talking this morning on the morning program, upwards of the number may not have paid. >> that is a lot of people. >> fake it until you make it.

>> we shall, every day. chris, there in washington, thank you. harsh criticism from president obama from former secretary of state rice why she said his foreign policy could lead to dangerous results. >> four years after a deadly inferno engulfed a neighborhood. the company that maintained the pipeline said they were brayings for criminal charges now. just who might be held responsible for that disaster? plus update on the deadly mud slide in washington state. >> we looked out the window and there was a gigantic mile of mud racing across the valley. it must have been going 150 miles per hour. and all i could say is oh, my god and then it hit us. cd with this annoying runny nose.

>> americans appear to be souroth economy and jobs despite rosy assurances from the white house that this year's economic growth will be bigger and better. half of the voters, 48 percent think that the job's picture is getting worse. that is up ten points from last summer. jerry willis host the willis report on fpn. >> great to be here. >> according to a recent fox news poll 35 percent of the voters are focusing on rising prices and the cost of living and focusing on unemployment and taxes and so why are these issues. what is hitting voters? >> absolutely. rising prices and you know why people are complaining. look at the prices. beef up and fish up ten percent and bacon up eight% and not only grocery store prices are rising,

but gas prices have been going up since february. the things they have to absolutely have to have, going up, up, up. incomes are stagnant and not growing. >> everybody is looking for someone to blame. we are seeing president obama approval ratings around 39 percent according to fox's recent poll. have you sewn a trend in the past. >> we have sewn a trend. in terms of your wallet, right. the economy is a slow recovery. we typically see a huge boost in the wake of the down turn of the great recession. we haven't sewn. that what's more the jobs market is trunked. and more people working in the u.s. as when women got in the

work force. >> quickly. do you have forecast for the midterm election? >> we know government forecasters are upbeat. but they are more than the regular economist and private sector economist. they so slow growth and not a recession going forward. i think they are probably right. >> i am excited and want to hear about the cash challenge >> we are challenging america to put away the credit cards and startousing cash. if you go to costco or gas stationous cash. it is a challenge out there, people are trying to save money. >> why now? >> i think a lot of people after seeing the target breach of data stolen, we have questions from folks how to keep safe. and they are going to help you do that and follow your stories over time in the days and weeks to come. and e-mail me at jerry

willis.com. and you can find me on facebook. we want to hear your stories about going to cash. how can you do it and we want to know. >> all about the benjamins. >> back to you. >> thank you, elizabeth. there is new concerns about russia's build up in ukraine and in the effort to camoflauj. this is after the former secretary of state rice blasted the policy and accused the commander in chief of lowering our voice and that is going to be filled with trouble. rick is a spokesperson for the ambassadors in the un. she said there is a vacum because we decided to lower our voice and step back, what did you think of that? >> well, you have to feel for

secretary rice, both she and president george w. bush did a good job of doyling back and allowing president obama and his secretaries of state to really have running room when deciding our policy and not to hear constant criticism. but what is happening with russia and secretary rice is a russian expert. it came to the boiling point and she couldn't hold back any longer watching the united states withdraw. and what is happening in easter europe, it is really a signal that america has to recognize we have information wars going on and we have to participate in that debate. >> it is not our allies and friends filling the vacum and void. she mentioned assad in syria and putin in russia and al-qaeda in places raises the black banner again of al-qaeda, now is that

what happens under the past six years? >> i think that is exactly what has happen. if you read her speech, too. she acknowledges that there has been a war weariness in the united states. she is very aware of that and she rejects the notion that president obama is putting forward that we either go to war or ignore the crisis. the war or ignore philosophy is a terrible doctorine that the obama administration currently has. you forget all of the work that can be done in the middle. to have a strong diplomatic force and diplomacy with muscle, there is a lot of different types of things in eastern europe that don't mean boots on the ground and we keep hearing from the administration that we are war weary and we don't want to go to war in europe.

secretary rice is saying there is a lot that we can be doing. >> like what? the president was on cbs urging putin to pull back. it doesn't appear to be the case. there is 50,000 or hundred thousand russian troops between crimea and ukraine and russian border. >> what is on the chipping block, the obama administration wants to cutro for europe. that is a force we should not cut. we should immediately launch an information war using radio free europe. it is important to have the conversation in the region and not washington d.c. and upper oast side of new york. we need to be in the debate and in the region talking about free market and talking about human rights and talking about all of the things that we know are a much better way of life than

the russian alternative. and putin is on the march and we get ready to remind those in eastern europe there is a different way of life. >> does putin make a move this weekend or not? >> well, who knows? i think the judicious answer is to say who knows and we should be on alert and watching closely. what he is doing in crimea. he is pushing people to reject the ukranian passports and have a russian passport and suddenly, you are considered a foreigner and coined of pushed out of the country, he's really beginning to go through crimea and make sure it is a very pro russian all the way around place to be. >> that is something to watch. >> out of los angeles, good to have you back, plose.

ninety-ninth. when he humbly and repeatedly apologized to the people of new jersey for the failings of his staff. that new's conference lasted two hours. there is dozens of live truck ands reporters here ready for his new's conference. the report was done by a private law firm. investigators talked to 70 people and looked at a quarter million documents and the report estimated to cost $1 million. 344 pages long if you do the math about 2700 a page. democrats are calling it a white wash that was paid for by taxpayers. but the lead attorney who conducted the report said it was an independent and credible investigation. >> we had no incentive other than find the truth.

it does us and our reputations no good. and does the governor and the governor office no good. and it does the people of new jersey who we serve no good to get anything other than the truth. >> one thing to keep in moind here, investigators did not speak to two key players, they declined to speak to investigators, one of them bridgeit kelly, former deputy chief of staff. she is the one who sent out the enfamous e-mail. and david wildstein. he is a christie a appointee responsible for overseeing the bridges and tunnels. we expect the new's conference to get underway in a hour's time. the governor told one

that president obama would commit all resources possible. what i so are surface boats and airplanes and they were affected by the weather. submarines are not. by now in the 20th day could have gone 8,000 miles from wherever and particularly from deiggo garcia. 800 miles off of the tip of india. any ships that were located there under sea craft are useful. we have to get to the wreckage with the latitude and we have to have hands on the wreckage. what ever is there it has to be identified. >> we know a long list of resources. there is a time table on how resources can be used. what resources with the new search area should we focus on? >> the array that is a

the 30 day is a guarantee but that doesn't mean it is going to stop dead. it is like a typical batteries in a flashlight, the pinging may diminish and could be there. it could be there another 15 days. and so that is not the pressure. pressure is resources are coming out to a shorter distance to investigate the debris. they have got to get in to a position to handle the debris and does not give certainty that the debris is in fact parts of the big triple seven. >> thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> the white house claiming more than 6 million americans signed up for obama care. obama care is a hard sale for most of you. and 56 percent are still against it. and only four in ten americans

round. that is clearly not the case. americans, millions of americans are seeing higher premium ands stripped of preferred doctors and plan and work hours cut all with the irs looming and ready to find people who don't comply with expensive man dates. there is no spin cycle for the democrats to turn them around. >> and chris, give it a shot. is there a spin sidewalkle that you can put on it? >> you look at the fox news polls and people as they get to know the law better, they have a more positive view of this. and part of the challenge and this responsibility that is following the administration they haven't done a particular good job. and any time we have a significant piece of legislation pass like. this there is going to be a learning curve.

that is just the reality. what is that? >> it is been four years and we are still counting? >> in fairness only implemented in the past now years and that was not particularly well. and listen, i think over time, people will see the positive -- >> i got you. i've heard you make that argument before. i want to get you to react to the following. 65 percent think that it is more expensive for health insurance. that was not the idea at all. and after all of the delays when we asked the question. 35 delies and one more makes 36. 50 percent say it would be better to go back. >> it is not a failure of messaging by the white house. they have been spinning their yarn four years. and they had an opportunity to sell the public and failed.

is this law going to reduce costs? that was one of the biggest selling points. two-thirds. american public say no. that is a policy failure and not a messaging failure and the trouble the democrats are going to run into. they will come to the republicans and say, hey, guys, we forced the law down your throat. and blew the roll out. and i am not sure how much credibility they have on this? >> and the question of affordability, chris. this is the latest pitch from people like nancy pelosi and others. and if americans don't believe it is more affordable and they think it is more expensive, the tough sell becomes more difficult. >> the answer is yes. i will not sit here and defend

that there is not problems with the law. but when you look at poll after poll, in terms of what the americans want. the problem that the republicans have politically. you can't go out there and exploit the anger and frustration that people have toward obama care. you can't have an idea to scrap obama care but we don't know what to do on the millions who don't have relate care. >> thank you, bill. >> thank you. and thanks, guys. and deadly explosion nearly wiped out an entire neighborhood. the public utility company is bracing for charges. our legal team will weigh in. >> big weekend here. don't miss maria's new show sunday morning futures. only here on the fox news

criminal charges. we'll bring in the attorney and david wohl. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> john, i want to start with you. criminal prosecutors are saying that it is it a rare case that the feds need to prove that pg&e violated federal safety rules. how do you prove that? >> it is difficult. it is not a case where all of the feds need to do that someone blue up and lit a match and blew up the neighborhood. it is not that simple. but they have to prove that people in control turned a blind eye to the numerous things going on under grouped. >> david, how would you defend the utility company? >> this whole explosion came from one wield in a poip that

was put in place in the 1950? >> no question of sloppy paper work and inspections. but disregarding federal laws, is needed here. and the federal authorities are going after this. state and local authorities said no way, it is a civil case. but the obama administration with its dislike for big energy and gas and oil, surprise, surprise they are going after it with a vengeance and it is political. >> david, the company paid out 565 million to settle most of the lawsuits. n2 billion in fines and 2.7 billion in massive improvements and they are doing what they should do. >> john, i want to go back to you. they haven't named the individuals in this case. do they really have a case here? >> any time the feds want to

charge a company criminally, they put people in prison. is it where they will go up the line and the big guys going to the big house? i doubt it. it is a middle management issue. for example, people putting in for over time and not logging what they were inspecting because they wanted to get home and have dinner and leave it at that. the pipe that david referenced. it had a seem it blew up. cording to pg&e said it was seamless. >> i think it is a horrible case and many people lost their lives, but it was due to sloppiness and negligence and not someone looking at a federal violation. and saying forget our profit is more important. there is no important. >> we don't know that yet. >> thank you for joining us and have a great weekend.
