evening. strong lower level jet stream giving us that push we need in the upper levels of the atmosphere. we have a frontal backgroundry in this region. this is the area where we have high alert tornado watch effect until 5:00 p.m. local time with a threat for tornados. this is the area we look to for march tornado probability and right on time. >> we are in tornado season. >> yes. >> thanks so much. >>. >> another fruitless day of searching coming to an end with no sign of malaysian flight 370. australian and chinese planes locating more objects found floating in a new section of the indian ocean. it's about 700 miles northeast of the original search area. after combing the waters, recovery ships coming up empty.

their hopes dashed yet again. welcome, everybody to america's news headquarters. i'm gregg jarrett. >> i'm arthel neville. chinese state media reporting the three recovered objects are not the plane. david piper is streaming live from bangkok, thailand with the latest. >> more sightings of those objects floating in the southern indian ocean. no confirmation that debris from the missing plane. the chinese aircraft which reported the sightings said the objects are red, white and orange. china reporting none of the objects came from the missing plane. china has two ships in the search area with more on the way. more bad weather is forecast though. the location has changed after satellite data suggests that the plane had been traveling faster, thus burning more fuel. the new location near perth

allows planes to search longer over the zone. earlier in the week, authorities said the new data showed there was no chance of anybody surviving as the plane must have run out of fuel and crashed in the indian ocean. today though, the acting transport minister seemed to contradict that by suggesting there was still hope. >> they said no matter how remote, hope against hope, please we will continue to find survivors. i said that from the beginning. no matter how remote, i'm always hoping against hope and i'm praying. they are also in any remote manner, has always been to find for survivors. >> this has begin families of the passengers and crew fresh hope, of course. many have been very critical of

the malaysia authority's handling of the search and investigation. 22 days since the play went missing, they continue to hang on to the belief their loved ones could still be alive. the crucial fact is that there is no evidence, of course, of where the plane is. back to you, arthel. >> david piper live from bangkok, thanks. hope is fading to find survivors in that massive and deadly mudslide in washington state. we can confirm one more body has been located. bringing the total to at least 26 deaths. crews have only been able to recover those 17 victims, but one week into the search, 90 people are still missing. listen to the heartbreak of these folks. >> everybody stands arm in arm. they walk along about so far apart and are looking at the ground for anything that looks unusual. if you look out here, you notice everything is gray. anybody you are going to find in there, anything of any importance you are going to find in there looks gray. these individuals come in up to

waist deep in mud they've been going for. they've been digging through stuff. they've seen things most people shouldn't have to see. >> it's hard to be normal. it's hard to just go on and teach school and be in class and not think about your classmates that are gone. >> heavy rains also hampering the search efforts. coming up, we'll have a live report from the scene. >> a fox news alert as we turn to the situation in ukraine. secretary of state kerry stopping in paris on his return from the middle east after his trip to saudi arabia with president obama. he is expected to push for a diplomatic e the ukraine standoff, in talks with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov as troops line up on ukraine's eastern border. greg palkot following the latest developments from kiev, ukraine. >> the folks here watching these

diplomatic moves closely. it is literally a matter of life or death. ukrainian military has been gearing up for a possible russian invasion. this follows the annexation of the peninsula of crimea by russia. 88,000 troops could be near ukraine's borders. why those comments from russian president putin in a call to president obama last night about a possible diplomatic solution have been well received. still, the people here aren't buying assurances from russia that it won't attack. here is what ukraine's prime minister had to say today. >> there is still a huge possibility that russia's military could cross the border and grab ukrainian territory. as i already mentioned, the state of ukraine and ukrainian people will execute its duty and defend our country. >> more tough talk coming today

about russia from former ukrainian prime minister. she said today vladimir putin is enemy number one for ukraine following her run for presidency here. new presidential elections are planned for may derailing this new move toward democracy for ukraine, according to some experts, as a possible motivation behind that threatened russian invasion here in ukraine. back to you. >> greg palkot, thank you very much. more than 100 aftershocks in south los angeles after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit the city last night. epicenter about a mile from la habra. the quake felt during the game at roger stadium. here is the call by vin scully.

the problems with the signing up? you had a personal experience with that. is it messaging about what is with the affordable care act is or is it that the president's signature legislation hasn't matched the good intentions and is just not working? >> we don't know whether it's matched the good intentions because it hasn't really gone into effect in a broadway. i think it is both. there are problems signing up. i certainly had my share. i have a little bit of an unusual circumstances but i have a foster son from south sudan i'm trying to get on insurance. it makes it more difficult. also i think the messaging has not been great. >> your foster son is lovely. i mitt him. >> thank you. >> you know the state of maryland is dropping obamacare. they are going to use technology from connecticut's marketplace. 49,000 out of the expected 150,000 maryland residents had signed up for obamacare as of

last week. why do you think it's not performing as stellar as the president hoped? >> people's faith in government to do things well is something like members of a cult. no matter how much evidence there is, they continue to believe. this can't work. we can't even win wars any more in america. why would anybody turn to washington to think that they're going to develop some kind of an insurance program and later health care, something like the nhs and the uk which is also a miserable failure that they can do it better than the private sector? a reformed private sector, to be sure. the state of maryland has become dysfunctional in this. they are going to adopt connecticut. it's not going to work. the american people,000 all those polls, the one you just showed have been reluctant to accept it. when it finally kicks in fully, and we don't know when that will be because the deadline keeps moving, they are going to be

more outraged. >> as fellow americans, we don't want to see anyone without health care and we are not clear how many of the uninsured are part of the 6 million that signed up so far. i want to pull up another fox news poll. obamacare is helping make insurance more expensive says 65% of the people. less expensive says 24%. do you see a popularity shift towards obamacare? >> what i would love to see for the republicans to come up with their plan in terms of legislation. they are throwing poison arrows at the obama plan, but we haven't seen what their alternative is. we've got to have an alternative for america to move forward in terms of health care. there just isn't one. this is what we are stuck with right now, like it or not like it. >> that's not true. the republicans do have a plan.

there are numerous plans out there. when paul ryan came up with his plan to reform medicare which is an extension of all of this, he was demonized by the left. harry reid on the senate floor says all these people who told their stories about difficulties, they're all liars. he gets back on the senate floor and says, i didn't say that. the dishonesty is through the roof on this thing. >> if republicans had good ideas, the president did say he was open to input from the other side of the aisle. >> he said he was, but then he said if you like your doctor, you can keep it. if you like your hospital, you can go to it. all those things have proven untrue. you can't get a republican plan through with a democrat majority senate and democrat president. that's going to change in the fall. nate silver says the republicans will pick up a minimum of six seats, maybe as many as 11. possibly the white house in 2016. then i think i'll see real change. >> i have to leave it there. in fairness, the white house is

saying wednesday 1.5 million visits to health care.gov, 30,000 calls to the call center monday and tuesday. the site saw a million plus visits and seeing more younger people at a higher rate. we have to leave it there. thank you, both good. to see you. i want to remind you we are going to be digging deeper into obamacare tomorrow on fox news sunday when chris wallace will be sitting down with angus king and john barrasso. the doctor is in. he is revealing his habits for to you lead a healthy life. >> it explains why there is no such thing as a short cut paving the road to a healthier you.

the key is something my grandmother told me, moderation. there's a pill a day, if you take it, you reduce the risk of heart disease by 22% and stroke by more. baby aspirin. >> what to avoid, and i was stunned by this, because vitamins and supplements, and then, you know, juicing, detoxes. >> that's the data. is that there have been over 60 studies randomized, zero have ever shown a benefit in 2340r78al individual. some have shown significant side effects, like increased cancer. save the money, eat real food. >> ignore gwyneth paltrow when she says cleanse your body by juicing. >> there is no way to cleanse. when you put something into a blender, degrades right away to sugar.

new controversy about how many people have actually signed up for obama care ahead of monday's enrollment deadline. the white house announcing this week that more than 6 million americans have signed up for coverage. but a growing number of critics say, wait a minute. we're wondering how many of these people have actually payed their bills, thus enrolled and if we can trust the obama administration numbers. >> welcome to a new hour inside

america's headquarters. the growing questions are coming as the administration was forced to issue one delay after another. and as one state prepares to scrap its entire online exchange system and replace it with an entirely new one because of all the lingering technical problems. molly is live in washington. >> hello to you as well. that state is maryland. maryland invested $125 million into setting up its own obama care website, it's been so plagued with technical failings, maryland may scrap the software encoding and use connecticut's system instead. that's according to the washington post today. marten o'malley hinted this week that there would be some kind of change to maryland's troubled online site saying it's still not working as it was supposed to work. he said he would provide more details on tuesday. that's one day after what was supposed to be the final deadline to sign up for obama

care, march 31. the obama administration announced this week, there would be another delay. allowing a few more weeks for people to sign up. supporters say it makes sense, because of the rocky start with healthcare.gov. >> also a good thing for insurance companies, because the people who sign up at the end are likely to be in pretty good health, the people who are in bad health really needed insurance, the people who signed up at the beginning. the flood of people at the end and the extension with more people, that's going to do good things for the risk pool, it's going to allow rates to be lower. >> the administration is being evasive with its signup numbers. not indicating how many people have actually paid for new insurance. they also suggest that obama care is not achieving one of its primary objectives. to provide health insurance for the uninsured. >> there's estimates all over the lot suggesting that maybe as many as three quarters of the people who sign up for the exchanges, maybe as few as a

quarter of them, were people who had insurance, lost their insurance, was it didn't satisfy the obama care criteria, and were forced to sign up through the exchanges in order to get reinsured. this is not necessarily people who are newly insured. >> the administration has not clarified when in mid april the new deadline will be. arthel? >> molly, thank you very much for that report. >> great. >> new fears of a bigger land grab by russia, as ukraine's prime minister raises more concerns over the russian troops gathering on his country's eastern border. >> do you believe the best way to find -- to resolve any crisis through the diplomatic and political channel. there is still a huge possibility that russia's military could cross the boarder and grab ukrainian territory. as i already mentioned, the state of ukraine and ukrainian people will execute its duty and

defend our country. >> all of this coming just one day after president obama and russian president vladimir putin spoke on the telephone, discussing a u.s. deal to ease tensions in the region. president obama told putin that the u.s. strongly condemns russia's aggression in ukraine, and urged him to pull back his troops from the border. >> in the meantime, secretary of state john kerry is on his way to a meeting with his russian counterpart to talk about a possible end to the stand-off. could this be an end to the crisis? or will russia continue to defy international law and go after even more of ukraine's territory. we're going to talk about all that with a former state department senior adviser coming up a bit later in the newscast. >> fox news alert on the desperate search for the missing malaysian airliner, a chinese military plane spotting several objects floating in the new

search area in the indian ocean. chinese ships that recovered three new objects saying that they were not part of flight 370. as harsh weather puts an end to another day of searches with still no sign of the plane. david piper streaming live from bangkok, thailand with the latest. >> reporter: arthel, yes, more sightings of those objects floating in the southern indian ocean, no confirmation that debris from the missing plane. chinese planes actually reported the sightings today, they said the objects were red, white and orange. china's reporting none of the objects the ships recovered in the area came from the missing plane. china currently has two ships in the search area with more on the way. more bad weather is also forecast. the new objects were in the new search area. the plane had been traveling plaster, thus burning more fuel, the search area has been changed.

earlier in the week, the malaysian authorities said the new satellite data showed there was no chance of anybody surviving, as the plane must have run out of fuel and crashed into the indian ocean. the acting transport minister seemed to contradict that by suggesting there was still hope. >> no matter how remote, hope against hope, please we will continue to find survivors. and i have said that from the beginning, that no matter how remote, i'm always hoping against hope and praying and as they are, in any remote manner, as always been to find for survivors. >> this, of course, has given families of the passengers and crew fresh hope. many of them have been very critical of the malaysian authorities handling of the

search and investigation. and despite it being 22 days since the plane went missing, they continued to hang on to the belief that their loved ones could be alive. and the crucial factors, of course, there's no appearance of the plane yet, back to you. >> okay, that is definitely crucial, david piper, thank you for that report. >> rescuers in washington state battling unimaginable conditions as they dig for any signs of life. as 09 people remain missing still, following a deadly mudslide one week ago. this is happening near the town of arlington, about an hour north of seattle. dominick is there live, dominick? >>. >> a short while ago, there was a break in the research and recovery -- the search and recovery efforts as the k3450u7b9s surrounding the small town where the mudslide took place a week ago, paused for a moments silence. precisely 10:37, one week exactly to the day, when the mudslide happened and affected communities in this entire area,

everybody paused for thought. the mayor of darrington, where one of the ceremonies took place today, was eloquent and he describes how the unimaginable had happened. and they realize very quickly a week ago, just how devastating the loss was going to be. to mark the moment, the mariuszed these words. >> we take a moment to forget the logistics. we get the emergency response. if they get the surge of events that have changed our community. this moment is for them to honor the mudslide victims. those still missing -- >> the weather is really not in the rescuer's favor at all, we've had steady rains throughout the day, a slight pause at the moment, we're expecting an inch over the course of the weekend, and they're having to watch the water levels on the river, which you can see behind me.

it's steadily rising, they're worried that could back up and make the recovery effort even more difficult. the rain on top of the mud, which is as much as 20 feet deep in some places, will make that even more difficult to get to new points, where they're searching for any -- for the people that are still missing. you know, they recovered 26 bodies so far, only 17 have been formally identified. the 19 people still missing, it's looking pretty grim. one of the biggest problems is, with the bad weather, it's also colder, even the rescuers are suffering from exposure, and they're suffering from fatigue, they will open an access road later on today, that will allow more ground based operations. they've been using mostly helicopters to winch the victims to the medical examiner's office, once the ground road opens today, that should speed up some of the recovery, greg. back to you. >> tragic story, and so incredibly heartbreaking for all of those people. dominick, thanks. >> very heartbreaking.

as dominick just reported, the heavy rains and strong winds are frustrating rescue teams out there. let's check in with the latest on those conditions. janice dean is live in the fox weather center. >> it's been awful out here, record breaking rainfall in seattle, where they've received over 15 inches in february and march, the wettest on season for march. taking a look at the satellite and radar over the last 12 hours, not good news here, continues to be remaining very saturated and the wet weather continues through the weekend and into early next week as far as central california. they need the rain here, they don't need the rain across the northwest, but we have the setup for more moisture, more storms to push into the region. not only this weekend, throughout the week and into next weekend. so trying for this region, and, of course, the folks who are aiding in the rescue and search in northern washington, looks like it's going to remain rainy and stormy.

a little bit of a break in the weather, a new storm as we head into wednesday and thursday. there's your forecast satellite radar, some of this energy is going to move into the northern plains and upper midwest, and give them a blizzard into monday and tuesday. look at some of the snowfall totals, we could get over a few of snow. is it springtime, we're not sure, across the rockies, into the northern plains and the upper midwest, where they could see a lot of snow as they head into monday and tuesday, we even have blizzard watches already in effect for this area, just to make sure people are prepared. the other story i want to quickly touch on, is the threat for severe weather, we have all sorts of weather we're watching today for central florida, tornado watch in effect until 5:00 p.m. local time, we still have a tornado warning east-southeast of the orlando area, we're watching this carefully as well. arthel? back to you. >> let's hope the tornado doesn't touch down there in south florida, in the meantime, central florida, when you're reporting on blizzards, does it

even shock you to hear that word coming out of your mouth? >> nothing shocks me after the winter we've had. >> good point. >> we're kind of transition, people need to be prepared for another winter storm across the plains and the midwest. >> thank you very much. blizzards, mudslides and tornados, what are we leaving out? oh, earthquakes. more than 100 aftershocks shaking los angeles after a magnitude 5.1 quake struck southern california last night. causing damages including a rock slide on a major road out there, and power outages. will carr live in los angeles with the latest. will. >> i know you're from this area, so you're used to things like this the best way i could describe it is, the room i was in became very would beably, and people who were closer to the earthquake, described it as a long, slow roll. we should note this is the second noticeable earthquake

southern california has had within the past week. it hit at 9:09, centered 20 miles southeast of los angeles. it was strong enough to cause a rock slide, flipped a car upside down. the people inside that car only had minor injuries, it knocked goods off the shelves in stores. check out this picture, it's a bathroom picture it comes from our producer's brother. you can see everything fell out of his cabinets in the bathroom. in all, 50 families ended up being displaced. it knocked out power for about 2,000 people in the area. luckily, though, there was really just minor injuries, nobody was seriously hurt. there were broken water mains. we've had more than 100 aftershocks. experts say there could be more in the coming days. they also add, that this earthquake which was stronger than last week's earthquake, which was a 4.4, that doesn't necessarily mean that in even stronger earthquake is around the corner.

>> we have never found worldwide a pattern of building up and then you get the bigger earthquake, that's not what earthquakes look like. most of them are random. >> this is a good time to think about, if you live in an area that's prone to earthquakes about potentially getting an earthquake preparedness kit inside that kit, you should have water, packaged food and a first aid kit. if you're lazy or don't have the time to get that, a number of websites have the kits ready that you can buy for roughly between 50 and $100. >> we used to stockpile the water in los angeles just for that event. >> good advice. will carr, thanks for the coverage. >> we are always prepared. we included dog food because we have dogs. >> well, you ever tried dog food? it's not bad. >> so i'm going to report now on

this story, a louisiana firefighter, arrested by police for not moving his truck during an emergency call. here's the surveillance video that shows the firemen here arriving first, when police got there, they told him to move his truck, he refused, so the officer cuffed him and put him in the back of his cruiser, the victim, the fireman was helping says the officer should be the one in cuffs. >> i think he should get fired or suspended. something should happen to him, because like, who does arresting somebody -- he was helping me, not just parking his car. >> the police chief says the officer won't be disciplined but the state fire marshall's office is investigating. rap lawmakers trying to block the white house after the obama administration plans to hand over control of internet domain names. doug luzader is in washington

with details. >> there is a battle brewing in congress over this. growing opposition to the administration's plan to eliminate u.s. oversight of the internet. we're talking about the internet's naming authority. how website names are reserved and assigned. the way it works right now, the u.s. commerce department overseas a contract with a private entity that handles name management, called the internet corporation for assigned names and numbers. the administration wants to end u.s. oversight, but already a group of republicans in the house is pushing a bill to oppose that move. for some, though, this is not a big deal. >> this isn't seeding control of the internet to anybody. ican is literally the phone book issuer of the internet. it issues the names and numbers, it's the internet corporation for assigning names and numbers, that's all it is. >> opponents think the issue runs much deeper than that. what happens if the international community decides to wield this authority against

another country like israel. >> the international community is new zealand and north korea. denmark and syria. i mean, it's nonexistent because communities suggest shared values. i'm not sure how you control the internet. the internet is the greatest threat to tyranny the world has seen. and it ought to be just the way it is now. >> those reactions are from a fox news special tonight, surrendering america. questioning whether the u.s. role in the world is in decline, this is just one of many issues they're going to explore, including the space program and the military and energy production. you can catch that tonight right here on fox news channel at 10:00 eastern. >> i have it on very good source this is a terrific one hour you need to watch tonight. >> definitely. >> okay. in the meantime, the transportation trust fund, guess what, it's almost dried up, that means state and local governments may not be able to pay for fixes to our nation's

switches, after several deaths were linked to an electrical issue that can cause cars to stall suddenly. let's talk about the gas tax, gasoline tax, it's long been the bedrock of the transportation trust fund to maintain the highways, tunnels and bridges. revenue is drying up as vehicles become more owe fisht. the government is looking into new ways to pay for infrastructure upgrades. >> how serious is the problem of faltering bridges and tunnels and roads, and how serious is the shortfall? >> remember a few years ago there was a bridge in minnesota which collapsed and killed several people. the problem with maintenance on our bridges and infrastructure

is. politicians get credit for new productions, they don't get credit for repairs. there's never been a situation where a politician gore their photo taken on a maintenance project. >> it's right now at roughly 18 cents per gallon, it hasn't b n raised in 21 years, it's not indexed to inflation, is that something we should look at or not? >> state gasoline taxes have gone up all over the place. connecticut being an example. so i think the problem here is, we are cross purposes. federal highways, the interstate highway system, that was a good thing. i think now it makes much more sense to turn over the federal gas tax to the states and the

public/private partnerships. having the federal government handle the majority of the infrastructure, it's not going to be done. if it is, it's going to involve more pork barrel and political pull than prioritizing the projects that need the most work. >> a great many are advocating increasing tolls or putting more tolls on the roads and highways, i can see the upside of that, it means that those that use them bear the burden. isn't the down side that this is a -- an interference with the free flow of commerce that would hurt businesses and raise prices on consumers? >> it doesn't have to. the new toll technology is extremely good. there are lots of tolls in california, and other places, where you can go through the tollbooth up to 35 or 40 miles an hour, it will register the amount of money to be deducted from your account and you barely slow down. >> if you're a business, and you use trucking to transport your

goods, you're going to obviously take away what you have to pay in terms of adding customer consumer prices adding up. doesn't that hurt --? >> yes, but remember, if there are potholes in the road, and if there's construction and if there are delays because of traffic, you're also losing money. remember, you see all those trucks by the side of the road getting weighed, they're being taxed a different way. i think we can rationalize this, and obviously people don't like tolls. we're not getting the maintenance we want. one of the reasons we're not getting the maintenance we want, the federal government requires every project that has any federal dollars in it, has to pay something called davis bacon wages. those are the union scale wages, so people can't shop around when we're building a road. they have to take the fixed price the unions charge. and that raises the cost for all of us. >> president wants to divert money from other agencies in the

federal government, and he also wants to use 150 billion in corporate tax reform money, what do you think of that? >> it sournds complex, and it sounds like it might not work, this is the president who when he passed his stimulus bill in 2009 said, this is going to go to the shovel ready jobs. we're going to create jobs, it took a couple years and the president had to admit, i just learned something, there were no shovel ready jobs, this takes a long time. if the president can't figure that out, i worry about massive transfers from one fund to the other. it sounds like one of those shell games in times square. >> he's really good at diverting money after all. to pay for obama care -- i'll get e-mails on that one, won't i. good to see you. >> pleasure. >> coming up, the next lawyers for the living boston marathon bombing suspect trying to -- a new tactic to persuade a jury to

heard about this phone call from putin to obama? >> i thought it was a bit of a ruse, it's putin seeing what he can get away with, there hasn't been a lot for russia, but putin wants to limit any downside, fundamental fundamentally, he doesn't want a deal, there's no agreement that he wants to reach that he's initiating, it's basically a probe and a gesture meant to change the topic. >> if you look at putin's posturing based on this phone call, what do you think it's going to say about putin's next move? >> immediately we know putin wants there to be instability in ukraine, he does not want the new more western looking, western leaning government to succeed by keeping troops near ukraine, with a possible invasion he helps sort of p perpetuate that sense of crisis in ukraine. who knows, we don't know what his intentions are, our intelligence community our $80

billion a year intelligence bureaucracy missed the fact that he was going to rely on ukraine. we can't tell if he's going to invade eastern ukraine or not. especially if he senses he's pushing on an open door with the west. >> the russian troop buildup continues near the ukraine border, and they're not sure, they can't prove for sure that this is indeed just simply part of an exercise. should we be alarmed or concerned? >> i think you have to be alarmed. it's -- you know, there have been sources within the military that have told fox news it's not consistent with any exercise, they're not actually exercising, they're just there, it could just be to create a sense of crisis in ukraine to destabilize the government there, but it could also be a move on ukraine, it seems like putin isn't quite of the mind that he would actually want to start a

european war, but certainly strong dictators make miscalculations, they do things that wouldn't necessarily seem logical. war with ukraine, that potentially had the risk of drawing in nato, would be detrimental to the russian economy. putin has gone down this road of making a strong appeal to russian nationalism, once you start down that road, it may not be so easy to get off. >> how do you deter him from that road, how do you derail him from further moves. and also, before you answer that, regarding the annexation of crimea, should the u.s. and nato concede what's done is done? >> well, that's what's so brilliant about what put season doing, switching the topic to whether he's going to invade eastern ukraine and whether he's making a bona fide diplomatic outreach to the west, we've ceased to talk about whether that is justified. we won't recognize formally the recognition of crime yarks but it's a fate accompli.

we ought to deter putin, the defense of ukraine has to fall -- we should be willing to enable free people who want to fight for themselves. to an extent -- >> does that mean russia should provide ukraine with military equipment? >> i think so, the administration so far is providing nonlethal assistance, food and that type of thing, ukraine has quite a bit of food. actual military goods and material. not u.s. troops on the ground. the support that ukraine needs, and also, nato should be reoriented toward confronting russia, it's been all about afghanistan for the last 12 or 13 years, maybe shift it back to its initial objective. >> when you say confronting russia, what do you mean? >> i think we should move -- i mean, red lines coming from politicians have ceased to mean anything. so you have to signal what you're willing to fight for, nato is an alliance, an alliance

means an attack on one was an attack on all. a russian move on the baltics does mean war. we have to be prepared for that. by being prepared for it, it will make it less likely. make it a red line that's something, and frankly to reverse the cuts in the military that we've been doing here in the united states, great britain has been doing well, and europe also should be pressured to do more, have you countries spending only one or two% of gdp on our defense. >> so many follow-up questions popping into our mind. i'm told i'm out of time, so i will have to pick it up another time when you come back. christian whiten, good to see you. thank you. >> thank you, arthel. >> governor chris christie arriving in las vegas this afternoon for a gathering of the republican jewish coalition, he is making the appearance one day after his cable exclusive interview with megyn kelly on the kelly file. an internal investigation

but i also always knew that this is where it would end. because i knew from the beginning i didn't have anything to do with this, and i didn't know anything about it. that's a consolation, i think for me, and for others who support me, it doesn't mean i'm not responsible. >> the report blaming former port authority of new york david weinstein -- wildstein, and former christie aide bridgette kelly depicted in the report as the mastermind behind the idea, critics say the report is bogus, because it does not include testimony from key players including kelly, wildstein or port authority chairman david sampson who resigned friday. christie says he's done a lot of soul searching as the scandal caused an avalanche of negative headlines in contrast to when he was a media darling. >> i always said to people that when i had a good day in the mainstream media it wasn't real. when i had a bad day in the

the murder trial of oscar pistorius postponed until april 7th in south africa, because one of the judges court assessors as they're known is sick. this happens just as pistorius was expected to testify on the fatal shooting of his girlfri d girlfriend. >> let's talk about the case now. we've already decided that the delay doesn't matter? >> right. >> let's move forward. does the defense team think, things are going really bad to put our client on the witness stand? >> yeah, nine out of ten times clients don't testify. he's the only living witness to what happened, they must think if we don't put him on, we're

cooked. >> they must feel like, there's this damaging testimony, sounds of an around umts, we have to put oscar on the witness stand in order to explain it away. >> i think he's going to have a difficult time explaining where those screams from. he has a woman sounding scream when he's anxious. >> who's going to believe that. >> the ballistics expert took the witness stand and said, ivan liszed the sequence of events, she was shot first in the hip, the arm, hand and leg. prosecutors are going to argue, wait a minute, she almost certainly cried out in pain, that would have alerted pistorius to stop shoot be. >> if you got shot in the head, they were so quick in

succession, she was hit in the head, there was no opportunity to screen this there's no jury here to get distracted. it's the judge who's going to decide, she's an expert in all this, she's heard all this before. >> cross-examination is the engine of truth. lies are invariably exposed. it is risky for the defendant to take the stand and be confronted on cross with inconsistencies and lies. >> you either make or break your case during cross-examination. i think the prosecutor is going to be able to make its case, how is he going to explain why he shot at a closed door without checking to see that his girlfriend is in the bed. >> he's the only living witness. it reminds me of george

zimmerman. he didn't take the swiss stand, he didn't need to. >> he was able to get his story out through the videotapes. we don't have that here. pistorius is boxed in. he has to try to sell is it to the judge to make it work for his case. does what he say equate to a lesser included charge, is he going to set himself up for manslaughter? >> the imperfect self-defense, honest but mistaken belief that. this is what's going on here. reminiscent of the menendez brothers. oh, we thought dad was going to kill us, it was all a big mistake. >> in this indication, you think -- there's an intruder, you don't give any warning, you shoot through a door, he already goes and shows that he's acted

with a non -- no conscience toward human life. >> the other thing that struck me is that unlike -- prior bad acts is usually inadmissible here in the united states. >> he's getting buried. >> i think it helps him. you think he's getting buried request the prior use of a gun. the defense can use this to their advantage to say, he's reckless with a gun and he was reckless that night, it wasn't intentional. >> if a manslaughter conviction for the defense is a win, they're not going to admit it. any defense attorney knows that if they get him -- if he's only convicted of manslaughter, it's still a win. he's not spending the rest of his life in prison. >> the punishment, a whole lot less. good discussion. we'll wait and see april 7th, it resumes. >> good discussion indeed.

now for a look beyond the

news, here's liz with her saturday commentary. >> there was a time in our history when many of the brightest men, including the founding fathers, deplored the society of loyola, the members known as jesuits. john adams wrote in a letter to thomas jefferson, if ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth and in hell, sit the society of loyola. jefferson agreed. even lincoln is said to have had sour thoughts about these priests. and the one who served under george washington during the american revolution, he said it is my opinion if the liberties of this country, the united states of america, are destroyed, it will be by the subtly of the roman catholic jesuit priests, because they are the most dangerous enemies oh

religious and civil liberties. throughout history, jesuits have been vilified as seducers, even murderers. a difficult sum mission to accept when the kindly pope francis and the differential president obama met before the world on thursday. we couldn't help but wonder if the jesuit gene for shrewd patience was the untold story here. a fading, disappointed president who insists on making catholics pay for birth control, pleading his case before the first jesuit pope. the president said it was all about social justice and equality. the papal forces made it clear that it's about the affordable care act and birth control and abortion mandate that has declared war on the hierarchy of the catholic church in america. by and large, the media analysts naturally bought the white house party line. if inner thoughts are any

indication, the first meeting 2010 them was a tell-all. the president of the united states with lowered head, trying to grab his best photo-op. he said, "his holiness is probably the only person in the world who has to put up with more protocol than me." the president basqued in the celebrity of the argentinian pope. there, is after all, the midterm election and his place in history to consider. less than a week before the meeting, cardinal raymond burke of st. louis, who was the vatican chief justice, set a more relistic tone for obama's audience. he said that obama's policies have become progressively more hostile toward christian civilization. burke said he appears to be a totally secularized man, who

aggressively promotes an anti-life and anti-family policy. against that backdrop, obama arrived in rome with an entourage of about 700, counting staff, press, friends and family. after the meeting, he said that in their 52-minute talk, pope francis did not actually touch in detail on the birth control mandate. it was, he said, discussed briefly at a later meeting with the vatican secretary of state. are we to believe that the vatican kissed off this festering issue of religious freedom when the president is challenging the hierarchy of the american church? before the meeting, "the new york times" disgraced itself trying to establish that obama had deep roots in the catholic church when he was a young community organizer. the truth is obama worked mainly with black catholics and the

purpose was not religious, but to organize them politically to the far left. the president, who was almost never seen attending church services, referred to himself as a christian last week. we wish he would act like one. a new couple is making their debut in hollywood. hubert and ka lisa, a pair of 15-year-old african lions greeting their public friday at the los angeles zoo. before relocating to l.a., they lived in seattle's woodland park zoo. they have been together now for ten years. and they had some marriage counseling. >> that's okay, ten years, that's a good marriage, strong relationship. >> he kept complaining she nags and nags. >> i'm sure it was his fault. i move on now. i'm sure it was his fault. before we go, we want to give
