bravo to the parents who decided to home school their daughter. >> thanks to everyone who responded. have a wonderful wednesday. we'll see you right back here 5:00 a.m. tomorrow. "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is wednesday, april 2. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. terror in the pacific. a massive fatal earthquake rocking the coast of chile causing chaos as evacuees frantically run to survive. the latest on that disaster andç the tsunami advisory here in the u.s. straight ahead. >> will the secrets of benghazi be revealed on capitol hill later today? the former c.i.a. official accused of covering up the truth is back on the stand today. and this morning we have some exclusive new information you will only hear here on fox. >> wow. if government isn't paying our health care, here's their advice.

find a sugar daddy. just when you thought it couldn't get worse, we have a way for you to pay. hey, mornings are better with friends.ç >> it's so much easier to pay all the bills if you've got a sugar daddy. >> that's actually it. it's a candy and it's a way for you to tax-free be supported. it is another way this administration is subtly trying to support obamacare. >> absolutely. you can be sarcastic as you will, but americans no it is no laughing matter here. it's been a hard sell, though. that is one of the many. that might have just tipped the iceberg. >> we will get to the president's victory lap yesterday in the rose garden but right now we have breaking news. >> we're following some destruction that took place

in chile overnight. five people, at least five people are dead after aç powerful 8.2 magnitude earthquake rocking chile last night. take a look at this. food flying off store shelves and shoppers ducking for cover. listen here. the warning sirens blaring in the background. [siren] >> the massive quake triggered a tsunami with waves as high as seven feet. but at this hour we understand all tsunami warnings have thankfully been canceled. the quake also knocking out power to thousands of residents in that area, damaging buildings and starting this fire. people are seen here in the streets as they try to evacuate. in theç chaos, 300 inmates broke out from a women's prison. right now police say they've recaptured 39 of those prisoners. many experts say this is not the big quake that they have been predicting, and we could actually see another.

we'll keep following this story. now to a fox news exclusive here at home. an update for you on a story we told you about yesterday. that former army recruit suspected of planning a fort hood style attack on u.s. soldiers, we have learned 19-year-old john booker, also known as muhammad abdullah hassan had been writing about jihad and bin laden on his facebook page for months. this was his last post. getting ready to be killed in jihad. huge adrenaline rush. i'm so nervous not because i'm scared toç die but i'm eager to meet my lord. the kansas teenager enlisted in the army in february and was due for basic training but he's now in a mental health facility. while you wereng embattled d.c. mayor vincent gray conceding the democratic primary race losing his bid for a second term.

he is the center of a campaign finance investigation. we told you about that one yesterday. he denies wrongdoing. bowser will face an independent candidate. talk about a wrong number. californiaans whoç tried to sign up for obamacare at the last minute got a shocker. covered california accidentally sent hearing-impaired users to a sex chat hot line. the numbers were off by one digits. that's how they got the number. take a listen to this. >> welcome to america's hottest talk line. ladies talk to interesting and khaoeugt guys free, press 1 now. guys, ladies are waiting to talk to you. >> can you imagine getting that? those are your headlines. >> we say what's the problem? press 2 if you -- press 3

if you have a preexisting condition. >> one digit makes a bigç difference. >> do you know yesterday the president's demeanor was 100% different than it was when he was overseas. he was on the attack mode and gloating mode. he feels by signing up 7 million people to obamacare, even though he says that is the number the administration was backing off of, was essentially saying obamacare has made it, it's worked, it's here. it will never be replaced. i thought personally that after the big bleepin' deal comment vice president biden made when it passed and it was signed, celebrating too early would be a problem. but that didç not stop him yesterday and his defiant tone. >> that's right. i don't get what you're complaining about. 7.1 million signed up. boom, and there it's starting. >> i've got to admit, i don't get it.

why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance? many of the tall tales that have been told about this law have been debunked. there are still no death panels. armageddon has not arrived. but the debate over repealing this law is over. the affordable care act is here to stay. >> okay. so it's here to stay, but how real are those numbers? 7.1 million, that's a very#3jqrd number for the white house. but the question is how many people -- how many of those actually paid? how many of them are duplicates? peter doocy, who i have known for a number of years, i was talking to him this morning. i said when you were trying to sign up to get the information about it, how many times did you try to open an account? and he said dozens of times. but it only worked once. so how many times has peter

doocy been counted? "the l.a. times" is quoted by the daily mail as saying they looked at a rand study that says just 23% of those who had signed up by monday night had insurance before and only a fraction of them have paid. they say the numberç is 858,000 previously uninsured paid by monday night. that's less than a million who had paid by monday night. charles krauthammer says be dubious of the big number. >> this is a phony number. it's a -- and it's wonderfully precise. these guys go six months without any idea what the numbers are and all of a sudden it is to a decimal point. 7.1, not point two. of course it is meaningless because, a, we don't know how many of them have paid so it is an enrollment number that is not enrollment. but the more important one is how many were previously uninsured. if it turns out that the

overwhelming majority of the so-called 7.1 were people who had health insurance,ç liked their health insurance, were renewing their health insurance or got kicked off their health insurance, whose lives were disrupted, premiums are raised, deductibles are raised, they lost their doctors are now among the 7.1, so it's a net negative. but they won't tell us the number. >> it's so disturbing to hear the president say why are people fighting against people getting health insurance? that is such an oversimplification for people who probably were in a coma for years. they don't understand people had insurance and it was changed, liked their premiums and it was canceled. they don't know if they can keep their doctors. doctors don't know who they can actually see. that is theç problem. nobody wants nobody to have health insurance. half of three-quarters of all the money we take in is already spent. so we only have a certain amount left. we're saying how do you go about approaching that? it is not let people die in the streets or sign up for

obamacare. you make the call. >> there are unanswered questions as to what it will end up costing americans. we know it has cost policies, as we've heard stories that are not tall tales but also how will this play out when it comes to the checkbook and what you're going to be writing as an everyday american? did we get enough young and healthys to pay for this system? how many are going to be offered subsidies? all that needs to be figured out. he was thanking and giving himself a high five. also joe biden was by his side, not someone we may have expected; that wouldç be? >> kathleen sebelius. she was in charge of instituting it. if you take a look, she was apparently in the audience. she wasn't up there. the president didn't even mention her. that's bad for her. here she is. that was after that oklahoma city guy said

flatout the people in oklahoma didn't like it and she had nothing to say about it. >> she was distant, and she deserved to be. >> i hope for her own good the affordable care act covers being thrown under the bus, because it looks like she may be throgí under the bus. you know, all the bad stuff happened on her watch. for the president not to mention it, maybe he just wanted to take all the credit, but for him not to mention it, that's not good. >> or maybe he didn't have enough time because he was thinking nancy pelosi because he did have time to thank her. george washington's secret 6, this is the president thanking nancy pelosi and nancy pelosi actually saying our founding fathers wanted obamacare. this is what they meant. >> she knew him? >> she knew. >> those who are critics, there have been bumps in the road but they have only been turbulence, not an obstacle, the american people having healthier

lives. that our founders wanted for them. life, healthier life, liberty, the freedom to receive theirç happiness, not job loss but having benefits that health care policies that they consider portable,. they can be self-employed, be a photographer, they could start their own business, they could change jobs, they could reach their aspirations. >> did george washington really want nuns to have to pay for birth control? >> he did phrepbgs that. you have to read the constitution a little bit closer. she got off book a little bit. "the washington post"ç has ten questions that still need to be answered. the washington posts of all things. i cannot believe the president was taking a bow yesterday. i wanted to see some of that anger, some of that sarcasm for vladimir putin. could he have possibly

new allegations contradicting what susan rice initially blamed for the benghazi terror attacks. remember this? >> but what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video that has offendedç many people around the world. >> that video again. rice went on five sunday shows blaming the attack on a protest over the video in libya. but new documents show the c.i.a. station chief in libya had already told officials in washington that was not the case. even more disturbing or allegations former c.i.a. acting director michael morell dismissed the report. he now working with a consulting group alongside hillary clinton aides and mike rodgers chief of staff will publicly testify for the first time today. what can he expect? lieutenant colonel tony shaffer who was with the c.i.a. joins us live now. good morning. the c.i.a. chief from libya finally appeared from washington yesterday behind

closed doors and said, hey, wait a minute, i told mike morell, the deputy director of the c.i.a., i saidç it wasn't a protest. >> all the leadership, and what's most notable is the clip you just ran of susan rice, within less than 24 hours of that clip being aired, the chief of station came back again and said for the third time i'm telling you there is no protest. so it was very clear, very clear in the field. let me be very clear, the chief of station is the most senior intelligence officer in the country. for your audience to understand and understand this clearly, what he says is gospel. nobody goes against him. i've had to fight with chief of station over stuff before. they always win. in this case it is peculiar he didn't win. >> mike morell, the deputy director of the c.i.a., he was theç fellow who got out the pencil and edited the talking points that pushed this fake story, pushed the fairy tale. >> what's most notable is he told the senate the white house arrived at the

points only for information. completely contrary is the e-mail trail showing he was coordinating which is contrary to everything he said. >> why would he, mike morell make up the video story? >> two points. i think the first, to be blunt, is quid pro quo. someone got to him. i think there is issues to be examined. he's now working for the very guy who was supposed to be providing oversight. michael allen, now his boss at this organization. he was the guy who was supposed to be providing oversight on this. think about about this. it took 18 months for the chief of station to testify. >> let's keepç this image on the screen. take a look. screen left you've got phillipe raines long time sporbgs person of hreurbg. you've got mike morell, then this allen guy, spokesperson for mike

rodgers, who is going to chair the committee today. it is very cozy that suddenly michael len has joined the guy he was supposed to be investigating. pe kuhl -- peculiar. in this last interview i said follow the money. this is where it starts to come togetherç and congeal. there is issues as to who did what regarding the talking points and it is clear morell had a key hand in this. >> you think he lied, mike morell did, and you think he belongs in jail? >> he has to account for multiple versions of what he said plus when clapper was asked who did the talking points, he sat in the back and said nothing. not only by omission, there are things he said which is going to be hopefully resolved today. he's got to account for all the different actions and what he said over the past 18 months. >> and that cozy relationship where he's drawing a salary, a big salary now is curious. >> look, you've got to

be -- you've got to accept the reality for what it is. you can't explain this away. up can't one day pick up and be working for the very guy that isç supposed to be critical of you and get paid a lot of money to do it. >> you've got republicans, you've got democrats, you've got the c.i.a. guy. >> this is not partisan. >> tony shaffer, thank you very much. great. straight ahead, there have been some strange obamacare pitches but did you see this one like asking if you have a sugar daddy or sugar mama? what if republicans said something like that? i think something would hit the fan. they bought a million dollar yacht while collecting welfare. how did that happen? the man who will make sure this never happens again comes up next. ♪ ♪ ♪

some quick headlines. khalid sheikh mohammed, the self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind will not be tried in manhattan even though attorney general eric holder says it is the right place. he reversed his decision after facing backlash from the families of september 11 victims and others. it might sound like something out of a movie but it is real. a british sniper killed six taliban with one bullet. the 21-year-old marksman hit the trigger switch of a vest from 1,000 feet away killing him and five men aroundç him. elisabeth? >> after nearly two months on the run, self-proclaimed scottish heir and his wife are under arrest accused of ripping off more than $157,000 in welfare reform from the state of minnesota and the state of florida all while living a life of luxury in a $1.2 million

yacht and driving a $30,000 lexus. here to weigh in is a florida state representative, working on a bill to prevent crimes like this from ever happening again. representative, we thank you for being with us this morning. >> good morning. thank you for letting me beç here. >> we're talking $167,000 in medical and welfare money that was ripped from those who need it. this is something that is atrocious. a, how did this happen? and then how is your bill set to prevent this from happening again? >> one of the biggest things is it happens because, first of all, there are just bad people out in the world. but the ability to get on-line and apply for benefits is one of the things we have done to simplify the system, to save costs. it actually also allows for bad actors. my bill will increase penalties because one of the biggest things you need is disincentive. people are more likely not to commit a crime if they

are fearful of going to jail. >> the couple here was deported from the bahamas, arrested yesterday. their son and dog s)e taken and put into custody. i guess my concern is when you move, from minnesota to florida when you cross state lines, will this help solve that problem? will your bill solve that? >> in the state of florida, what we're going to do is enact it so that if you leave after 30 days, if you have not called in and toll the state why you need to extend your benefits, then your benefits will be cut off after 30 days. we're going to assure people like this couple will face a first-degree felony. >> the payment and time fitting the crime here. i want to go through what actually happened here. $1.2 millionç yacht was purchased after they applied for benefits fraudulently. $30,000 lexus, $3 million in various bank accounts, $1.6 million lake house.

these are not things that tend to slip through the crack. we have $397.5 million in fraud, waste and abuse in the florida system alone. these are big items. >> yes ma'am. one of the biggest things is last year alone there was over 33,000 fraud investigations within the state of florida. florida is really i think leading the nation on trying to fight this. i've been working with d.c.f. since being elected and will continue to work with them to fight fraud, waste and abuse. the key thing is to increase penalties and make sure we provide the personnel that do the fraud and investigation so we can catch people like this. >> representative smith, thank you for beingç with "fox & friends" this morning. >> thank you. >> coming up, most doctors say mammograms can save your life, but a bombshell new report says they have it all wrong? and you know where to hide in your house during a tornado. >> what happens if you're caught ph your -- caught in your car and a tornado

molina's area and we join her with news on this tuesday morning -- or rather wednesday morning, of great interest. >> good morning. the months of april, may and june typically are the most active in terms of severe weather, in terms of tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail. right on schedule mother nature bringing us a storm system where anywhere from texas to illinois we could be seeing severe weather later on this afternoon and evening. tomorrow there is a higher danger. there is a moderate risk. that means we could see more violent tornadoes including western parts ofç tennessee and missouri. this is a big concern. everyone here needs to have a way to get those weather warnings. a big concern is the fact that also the peak hours we see tornadoes are during evening hours when people are heading home from work. what do you do if you're in your car and a tornado hits? a former navy seal and a survival expert showed us how to survive the

unthinkable. >> it is one of the most frightening sights on earth. a black funnel cloud barreling towards you, packing winds over 200 miles an hour.ç your first move, seek shelter below ground. but what do you do if you're driving in your car and can't get to a building? former navy seal and survival expert cade portly showed us. >> in a tornado and hurricane you're dealing with winds anywhere from 75 up to 150 miles per hour. that's going to make stuff fly, and that flying debris is your biggest concern. it's going to feel like you're in a combat zone. houses are completely leveled. >> just unrecognizable. >> you want to get as low as possible to try and aep

void getting struck. the perfect example of an area you'd want to get to is a ditch likeç this. you're below the ground. what you want to do is lay down on your stomach. you're going to want to cross your legs and you're going to want to clasp your hands behind your head and basically you're trying to protect your head and neck area and keep your eyes closed. essentially you've created the smallest target to keep from getting hit. >> if you believe there is enough distance between you and the storm you can try to outdrive the tornado by speeding 90 degrees to the right of the funnel cloud. but sometimes that can be more dangerous. >> you're dealing with all these factors. you've got a bunchç of people, gridlock, debris flying. it is not safe to drive anymore. you can't see anything out there. >> staying in your car is your last resort but even inside your vehicle you can

increase your chances of survival. >> you're going to want to hop over the seat. again, the key is to get as low as possible. if you can get down on the floor, that is preferred. if you can't get on the floor, you're on that back seat. again, perfect -- you're covering up your head trying to protect your head and neck area. >> no matter where you decide to ride out the tornado, be prepared to mean the difference between life and death. another very important tip is to always have a go bag in your car. that includes water, a first aid kit andç nonperishable food. and he has his own go bag. this is unique because it also has a phone chargeer in here. it has a way you can charge your phone so you can get in touch with your loved ones which is a big issue. with hurricane sandy we had that being a concern across the state of new jersey. that is included in here. he also has a flash

hraoeufplt >> -- he also has a flashlight. >> should this be in your trunk or the back seats? >> you can have it in your trunk. any time there is severe we one ofç these. very important. >> with enough to survive three to five days? >> i've got one of these in our office. i need one in my car. >> yes, keep it in there. >> just put one in our car. >> thanks a lot, maria. unbelievable news. tiger woods not playing in the masters. he's 38 now. he's got back surgery, was revealing this on a website that he had surgery already, posting this on twitter. as geraldo will tell you, there is no simple back surgery. he said i'm missing the masters. thanks to the fans for so many kind wishes. he's won the masters four

the congress didn't give the grace commission the teeth it needed. they presented their report to congress and congress ignored it. you have the base realignment and closing commission during the clinton administration which did have teeth. when they presented to congress, they had to accept it and a lot of bases around the country were closed. we need the same thing with weapons systems the military doesn't want but congress minnesota want because -- but congressmen want because it fuels money in your district. we have debt right now with a lot of duplicate programs, things that don't work, that aren't necessary. there is a verse in the book of ecclestiastes which says there is nothing new under theç sun. everything you think has been fought before, everything you do has been done before. let's look to the past, not to live in it but learn from it and move forward. >> the government is not working because it has crossed boundaries enumerated in the constitution. what do you mean?

>> the founders understood human nature as well as the preachers of their day. they knew government needed to get under control to be controlled. otherwise who exceed the boundaries. knowing human nature as they did, they knew too much power would corrupt. so they put these limits, these boundaries on government in order that individuals might beç free. >> you know what i found in going through your book and talking to you? save congress from themselves. for example, if i have to bring weapons systems back to maryland, i know maybe that is not good for the country but i can't get elected if i don't bring it back. i'm going to lose jobs. i say if a commission took that weapon system away because it was there to fight the soviets and they're not around, i'm okay. >> that was the key to the success of the brac commission along with the authority congress gave it to actually shut these bases down. i still believe that if you appeal to people's basic common sense, do you really want to spend this kind of money on stuff that isn't working, you can win the argument. >> go out and get this book

>> our founders wanted for them, life, healthier life, liberty, the freedom to pursue their happiness, not job loss. >> did she know them? she says the people who made our country wanted obamacare. we're going to do some explaining coming up because wednesday mornings are better with friends. >> good morning to you all. >> i think our founding fathers' goals was to work less and stay home. i mean, that's what she's saying. go be a photographer. >> the spyit for the money. >> it was our founding fathers' intent so that after the government kicked you off of your health carolyn, then you would have to buy a new plan for three quarters of the country, it would cost a lot more. >> and then go take pictures. >> heather nauert has breaking

i'm so nervous, not because i'm scared to die, but because i'm eager to meet my lord. the kansas teen-ager had enlisted in the army in february and was due to show up for basic training next monday, but the f.b.i. formally discharged him last week. he's now in a mental health facility. we'll keep you posted on updates to that story. the head of general motors is back on capitol hill as testimony continues in that deadly defect that led to the recalls of over 1 million cars. and now we're learning that gm looked into fixes for this problem in 2005, but they found those fixes to be just too costly. it turns out it would have cost a whopping 57 cents. the only winner of february's $425 million powerball jackpot finally coming forward to claim his prize. b. raymond buxton didn't show his face, but he showed off this big check. he chose to take the lump sum of

$242.2 million, that's before taxes. when he picked up the shirt, he wore a shirt that said luck of the jedi. how nice is that? those are your headlines. we can all be jealous. >> mr. anonymous. >> thank you very much. we have a fox news alert for you now. just moments ago, the death toll from that powerful earthquake in chile rising to six. powerful 8.2 magnitude earthquake rocked chile. look at the food flying off the shelves here in stores and shoppers ducking for cover. listen to the warning as sirens blaired in the background. [sirens] >> the massive quake triggered a tsunami with waves as high as seven feet. but at this hour, all tsunami warnings are canceled. the quake also knocked out power to thousands, damaged buildings and even started this fire you see here.

people seen here in the street as they try to evacuate in chaos. 300 inmates broke free from a women's prison. police say they captured 39 of those individuals. however, many experts say that this is not the big quake that they've been predicting and we could see another. >> 8.2. that's a pretty big one. speak of big, later today the c.i.a. acting director -- former directing deputy director, michael morell, will testify about allegations he knew before there was no protest. remember susan rice went on on five sunday chat shows and said it was all about that video. the c.i.a. station chief of libya was called to capitol hill yesterday and he testified behind closed doors. essentially what he said was from the get-go, they knew it was not a protest and we told everybody, including mike morell at the c.i.a., it was not a protest. but mike morell is the guy who invented these talking points, he did the editing of a fairy

tale that ultimately helped the president of the united states, many would say, and also kind of cleared hillary clinton. >> sure. it also would explain why we haven't gotten answers yet as this comes up. you hear about the revolving door. he will have to answer whether he downplayed the relayed information from the c.i.a. station chief. we're going to be standing by to see if that all changes. >> he's second in command. he's a really good career with the c.i.a. why would he put it all at risk to cover up for an administration you wouldn't think he had the allegiance to. through some great investigative reporting here at fox, they have found some ties that mike morell has had with some people on the obama administration. now that he's retired, they're starting to see some patterns here. >> take a look at that right there. that line - up of the three guys, those are guys who work at

beacon global strategies, a communications strategic organization company in washington, d.c the guy who is screen left is reines, hillary clinton's long time confidante. screen right, mike allen, congressman from michigan, mike rogers' chief of staff, working for the republican congress for a long time as chief of staff. then mike morell in the middle. he actually works for both those guys who are partners at beacon. in other words, the guy screen right, mr. allen, joined the guy, mr. morell, he was supposed to be investigating ask to many down in washington, d.c., this is just a little too cozy. tony schaefer who used to be with the c.i.a. was with us earlier on "fox & friends" and said this about that line - up. >> follow the money. this is where i think it all starts to come together. there is real issues relate to go who did what regarding the talking points and it's clear

morell had a key hand in this. >> you got to accept the reality for what it is. you can't explain this away. you can't one day pick up and be work for the very guy that was supposed to be critical of you and get paid a lot of money to do it. >> i didn't listen to the whole interview, but i watched the tape on-line. if you have mike allen, chief of staff with chairman rogers and suddenly out of nowhere, the former f.b.i. guy, mr. investigator, pulls his foot off the gas, doesn't seem curious about the benghazi situation. could his chief of staff been saying, there is nothing here, just an unfortunate situation of events because in his connection outside. why is chairman rogers now into it? has he suddenly realized there is a different angle to this than maybe someone might have been blocking? >> i hope those are questions they're going to ask later today because the chief of staff does decide a lot of the stuff ha goes on in the congressman's offers. what's interesting is the chief of station for libya was not

called into washington until yesterday. you would have thought that guy would have been called a very long time ago. also what's interesting is mike morell also works for cbs. he's a consultant. lara logan, as you will recall, was fired or suspended from "60 minutes" for simply interviewing somebody who told a story that was not accurate. >> interesting. >> mike morell is a consultant and analyst at cbs and it looks like he lied to congress. >> yeah. >> it looks like cbs has got a crazy double standard. >> right. >> on morell's third testimony here, we will definitely be keeping you posted. >> lara logan almost lost her life for that network covering the egyptian upheaval and overthrow of hosni mubarak. >> which would give more weight to the possible suspicious remark. we're going to look into that. >> let's hope they get good answers from mike morell. >> you would think that the president would be too jet lagged to give a pep rally

yesterday at the white house. but he wasn't. at 4:15 eastern time, he took a bow. and with the man to his right who said this is a big bleeping deal four short years ago, he said we reached our goal to obamacare. it is here to stay. hello, everybody. it's working. and if you're against it, you just don't want people to be healthy and have insurance. >> enough with the tall tales and complaining. here we have. we have this 7.1 million. we have the decimal point there, but not the information on who has paid, who previously had insurance and then got knocked out of the insurance because of this policy. but he did find time actually to thank nancy pelosi during the speech and we were thinking perhaps it's because she has connections with the founding fathers because -- >> she's not that old! >> according to her, she knew them and this is what the founding fathers wanted. they wanted obamacare. >> those who are critics criticd have been bumps in the road, but they've only been turbulent.

they have not been on obstacle to the american people having healthier lives. our founders wanted for them, life, healthier life, liberty, the freedom to pursue their happiness, not job loss. but having benefits that -- health care policies that are affordable, they could be self-employed, be a photographer. they could start their own business. they could change jobs. they could reach their aspirations. >> because we'll subsidize them and give them insurance. >> so nancy pelosi says our founding fathers wanted the affordable care act. did they really want people in their 60s to have to buy an insurance policy that would cover pregnancy and obstetrics? >> but most of them died in their 40s. >> and pay for somebody else's birth control? i don't think so. >> right. >> andrew on facebook thought this. he said the founding fathers

would have wanted to us have a choice if we want health care or not. >> pastor greg said our founding fathers believed in personal responsibility, realized that all that is needed for everyone's rights to be preserved is for all to have equal accountability to the law. >> carl says washington and the founding fathers fought a war against tyranny and taxation. mrs. pelosi needs a here lesson and a new job. >> did we get people without insurance to get insurance? how many people lost their insurance and now are forced into obamacare and policies they didn't choose but had no choice? and about the 30 million without insurance, how many have it today? we don't know any of the percentages, neither does the president. the president should have a communications guy that says i'm happy to have the 7.1 million. we need everybody's hands on deck. instead of taking a bow and accusing the republicans of wanting people to not have insurance or die in the street! >> how many of those are payers? when you look at the numbers looking for the young and healthy to pay where the

7 million pay from to make sure we have enough to pay for the system. that was the philosophy. >> you need 35%. >> we were supposed to be saving money on the plan. are you saving money on this new health care? >> sure. and when you look at the fact that three quarters of the people who have new policies are paying more than they did last year, is it worth it? was it worth it to blow everything up for the 1 or 2 million who got the no policies. it's great they've got insurance for the first time and i know the government subsidized them. we all helped them and that's great they've got coverage. but was it worth so much pain that so many other people are going through? >> straight ahead. >> many say supporting obamacare is the reason democrat bill white lost his bid for the governor of texas. so are other democrats heading down the same path? he joins us live next. the former clinton advisor joins us next to talk about the political liabilities of obamacare. richard branson is known for being inventive. but is this too good to be true?

victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache.

some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. house budget chairman paul ryan just unveiled a brand-new budget plan that would slash $5.1 trillion in federal spending over the next ten years. he'll be joining us in 45 minutes. not only would it balance our budget, it could lead to a surplus. bill white was the mayor of houston and advisor to president clinton. he wrote this incredible book called "america's fiscal constitution" and currently serves as senior advisor to a investment firm. you're talking about the top 1% paying more than $388,000 in income and you're talking about 35.1% of taxes in 2011.

the top 5% or the top 1% are doing everything. bill, welcome. >> great to be with you. >> you went back in history to see how much more responsible we were back then to see where we are right now. i don't know how well you digested paul ryan's budget. you talk about cutting $5.1 trillion out of the budget. is that possible? >> sure it's possible. for 90% of american history, we brought our spending and revenues in line. i looked at his budget and a lot of it is savings way out into the future. what they used to do in the past, is if you supported a balanced budget, you balanced it immediately. you didn't promise it in ten or 20 years. >> jfk is an example of that in your book, in 1960, he said i'll do it in case of emergency. in case of emergency, i'll ask to you pay for it. on second thought, bill, you see obamacare the way it's laying out and how much it looks like it's going to cost. do you have any second thoughts about supporting it? >> i didn't support it. at the time that it was

proposed, i said that we ought to pay for the medical costs that we had now. medicare, before we started aing another benefit. the fact is that we've been borrowing from medicare since 2001. that is not sustainable to continue to borrow to pay for medicare. we need to balance the medicare budget first. >> you also say most people don't realize that we are going into debt in order to pay our bills like medicare. so you're not being hard hearted if you say medicare has got to be reformed. there is just no money there. >> yeah. moreover, you got to be realistic. congressman ryan and others say they support medicare. well, you better support some revenues to pay for it. i'm not saying what the right balance is. everybody wants americans to have good medical care. everybody wants seniors to have good medical care. but we should only have the extent of medical care we're willing to pay for. if we want a level of medicare, we ought to pay for it. if you don't want to pay for it, you won't get the services. >> go back in history. the war of 1812, madison says,

let's ask the american people if they'll pay for it. they do. he says that means we're staked into what we want. >> if 99% of the people don't want to pay for a program, maybe we shouldn't do it. and if -- americans are adult if you talk to them squarely. if they want a level of benefits, you ought to ask them to pay for it. >> panama canal we paid for. 1960. 1950s, eisenhower said you want a highway system? that's what we used to do and we got to get back to that. it's all in your book "america's fiscal constitution." we veil to read it. thanks so much for putting this together. this is no easy thing to do. coming up straight ahead, we're $17 trillion in debt. so why is the government spending millions of taxpayer dollars on empty office space for social security? and have you ever wondered about your family history? our next guest did and wait 'til you hear what she learned about her family and ours.

>> it was pretty cool. my grandmother told me a story of her life on the island. now, during world war ii, the germans occupied the islands and there was a jewish man, a taylor who lived on the many island. he was the tailor for my family. when the germans rounded up the jew, our extended man took our family and hid them. not one person gave up the secret and the family was saved. >> i entry this is going. you wanted to track down that family. >> that's exactly what i tried to do. and let me tell you, it has not been easy. it started with just talking to relatives, casting a wide net. what do you know what, do you remember? of course, so many years ago, people's memories get faded. i pounded the pavement and knocked on doors in the jewish quarter and then that led me to the holocaust museum in israel where i've been working with researchers there. finally two weeks ago after years of searching, they sent me an e-mail with a bunch of information and finally some names. i took the name of one of the

quick headlines now. the controversial common core curriculum one step closer to getting dumped in oklahoma.

the state senate voted to repeal it and if the bill passes through the house, the board of education would then draft its own standards for students. a school nurse allegedly using heroin at work is still collecting a paycheck. she was put on paid leave after being arrested for drug possession. rhode island taxpayers are now on the hook for her salary and her substitutes. elisabeth? >> well, in other news, president obama praised his own work and slammed his critics, attacked during yesterday's speech celebrating 7 million enrolled in health care reform. >> this law is doing what it's supposed to do. it's working. all of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people or try to repeal the law without offering a any plausible alternatives so hard to understand. i got to admit. i don't get it. the debate over repealing this law is over. the affordable care act is here to stay.

>> joining me with his reaction is republican senator from oklahoma, dr. tom coburn. thank you for being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> so you heard the president there. he doesn't get what people are complaining about. this is here to stay. should be no problems. it's working. is he right? >> well, i'm sure some of it is working. i mean, we essentially took insurance away from 5.9 million people and 4 million of them signed up with a policy that cost them more, has higher deductible and has less choice. that's a way of working? that's one. there is about 883,000 people who are newly insured in the country, according to my sources. the ability to have the network and physicians and doctors and care givers that you had before is now changed, if in fact you had to go through the exchange and you lost your health care before and are now reinsured

under the exchange. look, we needed to fix health care. the problem is this isn't the way to fix it. what we know, if you want to make something unaffordable, have the government make it free. and what we've done is significantly raised the cost and the cost of health care is going to go up again this next year, especially the insurance premiums for those newly on the exchanges because of the poor ratios. the other thing i'd comment on that the president said, he says he's open to ideas to fix it. we've put out several. he said he would consider it, but he had a blank statement yesterday that said nobody's offered any alternative. well, that just isn't true. we have the patients' choice act and we now have the patients' care act. all of them do what the obama administration wanted to do, but decrease cost, not raise cost, increase freedom, and allowed increased access rather than decrease access and don't depend

on the weakest system we have, medicaid, to cover people. >> doctor, let me ask you this, 'cause you have a trust factor here. in government, as a doctor, as a patient you've expressed concerns on behalf of the american people with regard to changes. but harry reid says you're just in the weeds. listen to this. >> dr. coburn is very good at getting in the weeds and trying to find something that he thinks makes sense, but i think we need to look at the overall context of this bill. it really brings a lot of people in from the cold so that they have the ability to get health insurance. >> says you're in the weeds there. your reaction? >> that's probably a pretty good assumption. i do get down into the weeds. that's how you discover the what, fraud, abuse and stupidity in the federal government. so i plead guilty to getting in the weeds. but the weeds are important in the fact that we've done all this, we've raised taxes, over a trillion dollars. we're going to lose over 1.5 million jobs.

we've disrupted 6 million people with insurance that they were happy with to truly insure another 885,000. it's the typical government thing where we're well meaning, but incompetent. and i don't want to get in a fight with harry reid. the fact is we need a system that lowers cost, gives real choice to people, improves health care and outcomes and doesn't jeopardize the future of our country. >> well said there. so is this possible, though? doesn't seem it as we listen to the president say, no more changes. he's been the one to really make the most changes. >> look, again, we need to just kind of divide out what's politics and what's policy. everything that you're hearing now is because the american people are flat rejecting this as a concept. they've seen the problems with it. they've seen the long-term consequences for both their

health care and the cost associated with this and the lack of choice. so this is all about the november election pumping it up. we'll see how many people really signed up when we see how many people pay and one of the measures of that will be what the premium increases are coming late april, early may for next year's premiums for all these people in the exchanges because the mix isn't going to be there. so we'll see. but right now they're play ago political game and look, their motivation to fix health care is pure. i applaud them. they just did it the wrong way. and didn't listen to anybody on the other side of the aisle. they wanted it their way or none and now we have the president's changed it at least 28 times through his administrative rules, most of which i believe to be extra legal or illegal. so we're going to see this. we're going to see the political games played. but the fact is a large number

of people have been severely disrupted in their health care with decreased choices, decreased access, increased costs. >> dr. coburn, we so appreciate you being with us today on fox. >> you bet. god bless you. >> more "fox & friends" after this [ male announcer ] v8 v-fusion plus energy. natural energy from tea packed with real juice from delicious fruits and veggies. it's what you need for that extra boost! oh and did we mention it's only 50 calories? need a lift? could've had a v8. in t juice aisle. hey kevin...still eating chalk for hearburn? yea. try alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heart burn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. alka-seltzer fruit chews. enjoy the relief! but add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance... ...and we'll replace destroyed or stolen items

that, steve? >> why not? >> i'm not going there. >> let's talk about your budget. you put a lot of hard work into it. you have a lot of critics. but first let's outline it. it balances the budget within ten years. cuts government spending by 5.1 trillion. you repeal obamacare, reforms medicare, overhauls the tax code. is that it? >> oh, no, no. we also say we need to open up oil and gas drilling exploration so that america can become an independent nation when comes to oil and gas and create jobs. we also have a huge disagreement with the president on his new plan to hollow out our military. we're not going to do that. we believe in peace through strength and a strong military. so we're rejecting the president's military budget, putting our own military budget forward, which keeps our military intact. we think it's very important that we send signals to the rest of the world that not every party believes we should shrink our military. we don't. so we're showing our priorities, strong military, oil and gas

exploration, tax reform, balancing the budget, paying off the debt, and by the way, that helps us grow the economy and create jobs, which is what we're trying to do. >> harry reid showing strong opposition now. this is what he had to say, calling your plan something else. >> it's a blueprint for a modern coke -- how would you say this? coke topia. that's it. cochtopia. in fact, call it whatever you want. we might as well call it the coke budget because that's what they're protecting, the koch brothers, a path to prosperity for some people, the already rich, because that budget would end medicare as we know it. >> yeah. note to harry reid, if you're going to read a speech, you should probably preread it. is that all they got? >> i think those earthquakes you talked about, the koch brothers

are responsible for that, too. >> of course. can't blame george bush anymore. >> look, they're not producing a budget. we think we should budget. we like to be in the habit of budgeting. this will be our fourth budget in a row that we have shown the american people, here is how we're going to balance the budget. here is how we pay off the debt and give our children and grandchildren a debt free nation. here is our plan to grow the economy, create jobs, secure national defense. this is what we should do here in congress, which is show what we believe in and pass it. harry reid is not going to do that as soon. >> on the other side you have the tea party and sarah palin saying it wasn't enough. they say it was an april fool's joke. it doesn't get to the heart of it, not a smidge. >> i'm a big fan of sarah palin and she has been very supportive of my earlier budgets. this cuts more spending than any budget i've ever written. this is the biggest spending cut of ever budget i've ever offered. i think she ought to take a look at the details and i think she'll be pleased. if she liked what we did before,

she'll clearly like what we're doing here, which is very much in keeping with our constitutional principles, balancingment budget, creating jobs. but more importantly, we're showing that we are a governing majority here in the house. just imagine what we can do if we had a governing majority in the senate. not like the guy you just heard a second ago. imagine what we could do if we had the white house. we're proving we can balance the budget for this country, pay off the debt, secure our military. create jobs, all of these things are important statements for us to make and put it on paper and pass it because we're showing we're not just an opposition party, we're an alternative party. >> you've been doing a lot of work and talk being it. jarrett burnstein, who used to be an economist for the vice president said this perversely asks for sacrifices only from those least able to provide it while providing large tax cuts for those with ample resources and talks about some of the cuts in children's programs and pell grants. your reaction?

>> it's the same guy who said the stimulus would create millions of jobs and said unemployment would get above 8% when they passed the stimulus. so i just think he has a different view of things. i think history has shown that limiting government, economic freedom is the best thing. look, the best thing for people out of work are jobs and economic roles. that's what this accomplishes. let's stop measuring effectiveness by how much money we throw at it. let's have an output based poverty fight. >> sure. given the fact that senator coketopia in the senate, there is no chance your budget is going to become law. >> that's right. >> what it does is outlines the priorities. it shows the republicans are for this. >> that's right. >> which highlights the differences with the democrat party. right? >> we feel we have an obligation

to the country that if we don't like the direction this government is going, we should show how we would do things differently. we're the minority party. we have one half of one third of government and with this one half of one third of this government, we're going to show how we would do things differently this budget is one of those ways we're doing that. >> chairman, i think you know dave camp says i'm going to retire. if offered, would you take this? would that be something you would be interested in? >> it's something i've long looked at. it's premature to get into that. dave camp is a fantastic chairman. my hat off to him. there is nobody that has worked harder for economic growth and tax reform than dave camp. i think it's early to get into that conversation. that's something you usually talk about at the end of the election. >> let's talk about something else. when are you going to run for president? >> say that again. >> are you going to run for president? >> i'm keeping my options open. right now we're in 2014. i have very important responsibilities as the budget chair. i want to heed those responsibilities. i've got a lot to do here. the way i look at it is my wife

and i will sit down and figure this out in 2015 then. >> that's a good idea. sitting down with your wife to talk it out. >> you might want to surprise her and just get her reaction on a reality show. being that you ran for president, that makes you more or less likely to want to do it again? >> oh, no. that was a good experience. i think i bene tremendously from that experience. i learned a lot. i know what it takes, believe me. i would not have joined the ticket if i didn't think i would be good at doing the job. the question i have to ask myself and my family, is this the right way for to us serve? that's something that we will give a very serious look at in 2015. i'm keeping my options open. but right now i'm focused on doing my job. i'm not going to spend three years trying to get a promotion in an election three cycles from now. i'm going to try to get our country right and that is offering alternatives like we're doing today. >> paul ryan who has been busy, thank you very much. >> you bet. thank you.

the trading firm to an exchange on the network, and then before the order can reach the other exchanges on the network, a high frequency trader arrives and buys the stock, driving the price up, right? >> so what you just drew is the line from the hero of this book's desk. his trade goes up to the first of 13 exchanges. that's the bats exchange. there their high frequency trader is waiting to figure out what he wants to do. and they're able to race him to the other 12 exchanges in new jersey and take stock available that he's trying to buy. they're able to do that because they have faster connections to all those exchanges from that exchange. so his trade travels sir cuteous routes and all investors travels slower. so this is one form of it are we looking at two speeds of trade that are going on?

>> right. it's as if -- it's sort of as if -- there is a difference in time that exists in the market, creates many different kinds of opportunity for predatory activity. this is one form of it. the one form of it here is yes, they sit outside the lincoln tunnel, get news of what he wants to do, and race him to the plate before he can do it. >> so the guy who figured this all out, this guy who is working for royal bank of canada, he has now started the fair exchange, iex exchange. what they do, and we just put the graphic up a moment ago. it neutralizes front running by slowing the orders down so that they each arrive at all the exchanges at the same time. so nobody gets an advantage. >> what he realizes is that the exchanges in america have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect the investors' order. instead they have essentially given privileged access for a lot of money, sold privileged access to a handful of high frequency traders. what they've done on the x

exchange is they have made everybody move at the same speed. slowing down -- >> how did he do that? >> the scalpers in a sense is what you were saying, but you're not making friends here. 'cause we've seen some clips, especially on another network. listen to this. >> there is never going to be a market that only -- >> that is false. >> that's not false. >> that's not false. i toured it. i had a tour of it. >> that is untrue. >> i wanted to see where the high frequency traders hooked up. >> you go to the data center and standing outside and saying you talked to us is not the same thing. be honest with yourself. >> so the question was, that's actually no paint in talking to somebody who is throwing dust in the air. >> your point is this is my research, he kept saying it's not true. how do you debate someone who keeps saying that? >> i went into the bats

exchange. i toured the bats exchange. he didn't know that because i didn't go see him. i went with the guys who were in the book. it's a little strange to have him say you never came to the place. i've been to the place. the bigger point is what does it matter whether i actually went to the place or not? i went for a very particular reason. i went to all the exchanges just to see the physical arrangement. so there is a box at the exchange, a black box, the computer. i wanted to see who had januaryed their computer next to that computer so they had privilege access and sort of thousand looked. what do you do? i think that this is what's happening on wall street. a lot of money gets made, scalped out of the market by these high frequency traders. it gets shared with the banks and traders in various ways. there is a huge interest in preserving the 20 billion or $30 billion a year, whatever it is that gets scalped. these guys in this story who figured out what's going on and are explaining it to the public, challenge that money. they're not going to go down

without a fight. >> why have these guys figured it out and nobody else has? >> a lot of people figured it out, but they were busy making money from it. >> is anybody going to get in trouble? >> you got to ask the new york attorney general and the f.b.i they're both investigating it. >> because right now it's legal, but it seems like these high frequency traders are winding up with inside information. >> effectively insider trading. >> and that's against the law. >> you're getting news about what the prices are about to do. i'm sure it's going to be shut down at some point. >> how do you feel about the backlash? >> i don't really like being in fights, but if it's necessary, it's necessary, right? i'm just trying to tell -- i'm trying to clarify the matter. >> to help the everyday person who is out there just trying to make some money off of a small trade here or there? >> not just that. i think stock markets are dysfunction. it's supposed to channel capital to productive enterprise. all this nonsense in between

gets in the way of that. nothing to do with the purpose of the stock market. i think we want a fair society where every dollar stands the same chance. the idea that well to do people are rigging if t in their favor at the expense of the broad middle class is insane. >> yeah. if you have a 401(k), it matters. everyone knows you're incredible and this book is a big hit because of that. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> back to sports. less controversial. >> right. >> about half past the top of the hour on this wednesday. should the country of iran be allowed to p an anti-american terrorist as the new ambassador to the united nations? the americans he's accused of holding hostage back in the '70s here to react when we return. and there have been some strange obamacare pitches. but did you see this one, asking if you have a sugar daddy? what if republicans said anything like that or anybody said something like that that wasn't on a sitcom? >> what if you have one?

the white house says it surpassed its goal for the people enrolled in obamacare. it's amazing you can achieve when you make something mandatory and keep extending it. >> yeah. cinderella story, yesterday the president went out in the rose garden. he was taking a victory lap. he announced 7.1 million had enrolled in obamacare. what's interesting is we had tom coburn on about an hour ago and elisabeth was talking to him and the senator from oklahoma said that his best information was that less than a million people who have enrolled in obamacare were uninsured before and had actually paid the first premium. >> 39 million are uninsured? >> while the president says 7.1 million signed up, it really only impacted -- it only is helping less than a million. and there were 50, to your point, brian, 50 million uninsured. so you're really helping one? you blew up the whole system to

help the one? it's great for the 1% that got it, but it's kind of like burning down the village to save the village. >> a lot of unanswered questions moving forward in terms of how much it's going to cost the american people. how many people will or have paid into it. how many young and healthy they have contributing to the payment? >> i was astounded by the tone. i was listening on radio yesterday. the tone of the president. i said, wait a second. is he the same person who sat down with scott pelley, barely able to keep his attention about vladimir putin. he has no interest when somebody act attention up against america. but when republicans push back against a program, he's outraged. it becomes a cartoon. why do these people not want people to have health care? n his masterpiece. >> it's obamacare. that is why yesterday they all put on a happy face and said look, we beat the number. what's interesting is when he was talking there in the rose

garden, right next to him, joe biden. where was kathleen sebelius? she was not up on the podium. she was down in the audience. it's interesting because is this a bad sign for her? she was -- >> she wasn't mentioned. >> it was on her watch that all the bad stuff happened. i don't know, maybe the president is trying to just take all the credit. but none the less, she didn't get nary. >> he thanked nancy pelosi and other people by name. but he didn't thank her. i wond what are she thought. maybe this is how she felt. [crickets] >> we later found out she could hear us. it really shows you. it goes back to the bill o'reilly question, kathleen sebelius, why don't you fire her? by him not mentioning her, by him not even bringing her up on the podium, not letting her take a bow, that's basically saying, you got me into this mess to begin with by not having the web

site ready. she could come back and say you gave me this plan that's unworkable and unusable and told me to make it work. >> or maybe she's on reserve in case things don't roll out the way they're saying in terms of success. you can bring her forward then. >> meanwhile, out in the state of missouri, it's interesting, ofa out there organizing for action and observe observe affiliate -- obama affiliated group. they put down a tweet that they had to take down quickly because it was embarrassing. they tweeted out, got covered? got a sugar daddy or sugar mama to pay for those medical bills? just wondering. afa.bo #beatthebuzzer. >> that's unbelievably inappropriate. it was quickly taken down and deleted and criticized wide and far. >> you know what? if a republican had put that out, there would be screaming headlines over on msnbc, the "new york times," people would be calling for their resignation, you need to quit. but you know how the main stream

works. >> my guess would be it's a war on women, lack of sensitivity. >> i hadn't thought about war on women. >> the war never stops, steve. >> you never know. >> 23 minutes before the top of the hour. >> other headlines now. a terrorist militant who held americans hostage in iran has been appointed by that country as ambassador to the u.n. now some of those former hostages are calling the move a disgrace and are demanding that the state department deny his visa. >> it's just like we're being slapped in the face again and it makes me cry for my country because we have been so naive in terms of understanding iran. i might be up in new york one of these days having lunch somewhere and if i run into him, i don't know how i'll react. as a loyal american, i know i have to obey the laws of this country. >> wow. the white house says they may not be able to deny his visa.

senator ted cruz planning to introduce legislation to ban the new ambassador from entering the united states. i want a burger! those are the first words coming from this missing runner's mouth after he survived two days in below freezing temperatures. first thing he wanted was a hamburger. robert ruse said all he wanted was an in and out burger when he was found walking on a bridge. he got separated from his running group sunday in california's mountains. but he made it out alive by curling up to bushes simply to stay warm. >> he basically said he would hunker into a bush and look for a warm spot and his sleep cycle was basically just nodding off. as he would tip over, waking back up and he would go through that for the entire night. >> he was treated at the hospital, but is now resting easy at home. let's hope he gets an in and out burger promptly. kids need a permission slip to take an aspirin in school, right? but a school nurse, apparently
