news.com. follow us on twitter. thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope to see you here next week. a fox news alert on the missing malaysia airlines jet. a chinese patrol ship reportedly detecting pulse signals. australian officials now saying the characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft's black box. as search crews race against the clock to locate it before the beacon's battery life ends. good afternoon. i'm gregg jarrett. >> i'm arthel neville. the chinese patrol ship is one of many in the multinational

search effort including planes, ships and a submarine scouring the indian ocean to find any sign of the missing plane. right now david piper is streaming live from bangkok thailand. >> this massive international search has been going on all day. the chinese may have made a breakthrough. the official chinese news agency says chinese patrol ship detected pulse signals in the southern indian ocean. the possible ping sounds from the black box were discovered by ship in an area outside today's search area. 1,000 miles northwest of perth, australia. they said the pulses were on the frequency the same as the pings sent from the plane's black box. chinese television earlier reported some ships have been moved to the new location but didn't say why. it's worth being cautious about the reports because there have been so many false leads before.

the australian authorities, which are leading the sea search haven't confirmed the chinese report but are likely to send ships and planes to the area sunday. earlier the malaysia authorities said they wouldn't give up on finding the plane. >> it's been almost a month since malaysia flight 370 went missing. the search has been difficult, challenging and complex. in spite of all this, our determination remains undiminished. >> the search the plane is likely to be hampered over the next 24 hours because of bad weather. back to you. >> thank you. >> with more on this desperate hunt for flight perry fish joins us, vice president of american underwater search and survey. thanks for taking a few moments. obviously, there are a lot of

underwater sounds. australian officials said the frequency seems to be consistent with the black box. what do you make of it? >> good afternoon. i think we need more information on the data stream that the chinese claim to have heard in the ambient underwater environment. from what i understand they didn't record it. it seems inconceivable if you're listening to the underwater environment trying to detect a certain signal why you wouldn't continually record everything you hear be it whales or whatever and tie that together in a computer with gps position. apparently, they didn't do that. it's a glimmer of hope, but there are other things that can make sounds including mammals. it's a short duration chirp and repeats one per second. that's difficult for mammals to make that sound.

>> it's sort of a clicking sound, as i understand it. if they had recorded it, wouldn't they have transmitted it via other communications device to the australian authorities who could analyze it? >> that's right. any ocean search as large a scale as this one needs a command center. currently the command center is in australia as supporting the malaysian investigation. i'm not sure whether the chinese vessel was on its way to a designated search area or playing by their own rules. i'm not sure. that file could have been easily uploaded to a satellite. >> underwater search is your business. even if this is a ping from the black box of that flight 370, locating the plane itself is a big challenge, isn't it? >> that would certainly be the next step. getting to the right section of the ocean by detecting the

pinger output is a very difficult job. once the region is located, it's fairly straight forward. years ago an imaging sonar would have benneteaued over a 20,000 foot long cable. that's a lot of work to do. new technology has begin us autonomous underwater vehicles or unmanned, untethered underwater vehicles. they make the job much easier. the down side is the data you get back on shipboard isn't real time, but it's 20 hours later. that is not such a time laggase these vehicles are very capable. >> what about physically recovering a voice cockpit recorder or flight data recorder? >> that is fairly straight forward with today's technology. it requires a large surface support ship. there are vehicles made. vehicles that go that deep are equipped with with video cameras and provide realtime data. the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder can be

retrieved in a straight forward manner. >> what about rough and choppy seas, the weather, depth and so on and so forth? all that presence difficulties, but not something that cannot be overcome. >> that's correct. the season makes a difference. it's coming winter there. a complete salvage operation might not be able to take place until winter passes by. the choppy seas are difficult. you need a bigger vessel. >> john perry fish, thanks for being with us. we are learning an argument may have triggered the deadly rampage at ft. hood, texas. three soldiers are dead plus the shooter who killed himself. 16 others were hurt. congressman john carter and roger williams addressed the public. rick levinthal, did we learn anything?

>> quite a bit. they told us about their visit on post which included a look at the crime scene that covers two city blocks on ft. hood, two buildings and a love outdoor area. the army's criminal investigation division, tengs rangers and members of the fbi's evidence response team are all on scene. still processing that sprawling crime scene. 150 plus agents assigned to this case. there are more than 900 potential witnesses interviewed. that scene is being carefully documented, mapped, photographed and a sequence of events 3-d image. the congressman told us about their visit with major patrick miller who is there new york. he was shot in the abdomen on wednesday. here is how congressman carter described what miller told him. >> they heard the pop, pop, pop of gun fire.

realized he needed to get as many people in closed offices. he got shot in the gut point blank. >> that soldier survived, but three others did not. danny ferguson just returned from afghanistan. his fiancee says he blocked a door to keep lopez from reaching a room full of soldiers. sergeant timothy owens of illinois was a husband and father who served in kuwait and iraq. he attempted to calm the shooter down in a parking lot. instead was shot five times in the chest. sergeant carlos rodriguez like the shooter was from puerto rico and planned to retire soon after serving 20 years in the u.s. army. the shooter specialist ivan lopez, the army confirmed he had deep psychological issues, dealing with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders.

he claims post traumatic stress disorder but the army says there is no evidence of lopez seeing combat during his four months in iraq. there are reports today that lopez was angry about being denied a leave of absence to attend to family matters that that may have sparked wednesday's shooting. i spoke to a general that confirmed that is something investigators are looking at. it mate have been some denial of a form or active request that sparked this shooting. the general told me when someone is mentally disturbed in the way lopez was, it's nearly impossible to know what trigger event might set him off. >> lots of new details hard to here. rick levinthal thank you for that report. what kind of turnout in the polls in afghanistan as voters choose a new president. plus congressman paul ryan shoots a volley over the bow of

swift reaction from across capitol hill to congressman paul ryan's plan to balance the budget. the budget chairman's proposal does not raise taxes on anyone, ends obamacare and drastically changes medicare benefits for future retirees. president obama said it would cost jobs and hurt the lower and middle class. >> republican budget begins by handing out massive tax cuts to households making more than $1 million a year. then to keep from blowing a hole in the deficit, they have to raise taxes on middle class families with kids. next, their budget forces deep

cuts to investments that help our economy create jobs like education and scientific research. >> instead of throwing billions of dollars each year at these programs with no measurable end results, let's give states and localities the flexibility they need to develop targeted plans to help low income families, young folks, those with disabilities, and of course, the unemployed, the long-term unemployed and the underemployed. >> on our political panel to discuss this fox news contributors doug shoen and ed rollins who headed ronald reagan's 1984 campaign. ed, i want to start with you. what do you think about congressman scott's notion giving states more power? >> someone who believes smaller government, there is nothing wrong with that. too much stuff has been pulled to washington. we've got a lot of republican governors that have done great things. i would argue that is a good part of this plan.

>> do you think that would fly? >> i don't. it is just an excuse to allow cuts to medicare, cuts to food stamps at a time when people are hurting to make the kind of adjustments the ryan plan does. i think it's cruel, heartless and i don't know if you agree, but gives the democrats an issue at the election. >> critical thing is this is a resolution. this is not a budget. what people don't understand, the process is there is mandated programs and entitlement programs. they are getting out of hand. we have a $3.9 trillion, $18 trillion in debt and only about half a trillion left in revenue. we have to bring it back together again. the president abdicated more spending, higher taxes and obviously, it's a different direction. >> let's pick up on what we heard the president say. the ryan's budget proposal is saying tax cuts to households making $1 million plus per year and raise taxes on middle class with children.

where is he going wrong? >> both parties are going wrong because we don't have a balanced plan. we had a balanced budget plan a few years ago, the bowles-simpson plan that sadly didn't get enough votes in the committee itself to go to the floor of the congress. the president didn't support it. republicans didn't support it. if we had a balanced approach to reigning in entitlements, cutting spending and lowering the tax rate at the same type we broaden the base, we could do what senator scott was talking about, achieve president obama's goals in a way arguably much fairer to all. >> ryan is one of the better thinkers we have in our party. i don't agree with everything in the bill. a lot of tea members of congress don't agree. at least in ten years $5 trillion is cut somewhere. i think at the end of the day that's the debate. we have to rein it back. the answer is not raising taxes. the well-to-do who pay most

taxes today are not going to tolerate. >> you don't want to raise the taxes on them or the middle class either. judge, no. that debate is over for the foreseeable future. >> you mention ryan is saying my budget is going to save money. it will save $5 trillion in spending over the course of ten years. sarah palin said baloney is what she said. his plan, the ryan budget on the table is do for example to increase spending by $1.1 trillion over the next ten years. does she have a point? >> i would argue sarah palin can't hold the pencil of ryan when it comes to budgets. at the end of the day, ryan's plan may not be perfect, but it's better. >> here is what we are seeing and i think ed would acknowledge this, as well. the republican party is very, very divided. they are going to fight an election against an unpopular president with their tea party

wing, their conservative wing and their establishment wing all at odds with each other. they can't even agree on their facts. hard to fight an organized democratic party, however unpopular the president is when you can't get your facts straight, your policies hurt poor people and put the middle class at risk. >> the ryan budget make it pass the house? >> absolutely not. >> no. it's not. the president's budget doesn't get that far. at the end of the day, president laid out his blueprint, republicans will counter. >> that's why we need a bipartisan plan, which sadly we are not going to get. >> that is the sad point. >> it is sad. >> thank you very much. i wish everybody could get together like you guys are sensible and talk about it. >> thank you. >> i'm voting for you both. >> we like that. >> they get my vote, too. nato says it plans to beef up troop levels in eastern europe. what it means for diplomacy over ukraine, and tensions with

a fox news alert. major developments in the east/west standoff over ukraine. russia recalling its ambassador to nato following nato's sharp condemnations of russia's actions toward ukraine, including the tens of thousands of russian troops now amassed along ukraine's eastern border. with more, major general robert scales joins us, retired from the u.s. army, a fox news military analyst. general, always good to see you. >> hi, greg. >> look, nato is never guilty of acting expeditiously, and it's too late for crimea, but you think it's about time. why? >> oh, there are many reasons. these are just baby steps, greg. you know, putin understands two

words, power and weakness. he said so himself. and there's a power vacuum in eastern europe, even in the eastern states at nato. and what's been promised so far, a few aircraft, an additional ship in the black sea, some scheduled war games, mostly simulated war games with the ukrainians. that's really not enough, i think, to dissuade putin from doing something stupid. what we need is something far more robust, particularly by the united states. most people don't know it, greg, but the united states does not have a single battle tank left in europe, and this is extraordinary. so, it's time to gradually build up american power, move it to the east in places like poland and the baltic states, put a presence, a nato presence on the ground that's substantial. putin fears military power. nato is far more powerful than the russian military. it's time to sort of do something about it. >> well, and the russians fear the m-1 abrams tank, right? >> yes. >> so, in addition to those, which are not there -- >> right.

>> and they likely should be, at least in europe, anyway. what about aerial technology? >> yeah, that's very important. you know, we've spent almost $1 trillion in stealth aircraft. the f-22 raptor and the joint strike fighter, the f-35. and yet, we have yet to deploy one of these aircraft even to a future conflict area. let's put stealth technology on the ground in eastern europe. the russians have no aircraft with that type of technology. that's the sort of signal that putin needs to see, because you get enough stealth aircraft in poland, perhaps in the baltic states, and all of a sudden, putin would realize that that air power would make very, very short work of his own air force. >> right. now, you think all of that should be sent to poland. what about sending things to ukraine? >> that's a great point. you know, putin is a great student of history, or so he says. in the long shadow of the great patriotic war, world war ii is still with the russians. and one outfit that the russians

always talk about with great respect is the ukrainian partisan movement. putin has seen what happens in cities like rosney, where an insurgency springs up in his own territory, and he's scared to death of the prospect of a ukrainian uprising. so, let's arm the ukrainians. let's give them antitank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, let's send trainers in to train up his arm and make it better. that's the best long-term deterrence we could ask for in this troubled region. >> only really lethal weapons will -- >> you bet. >> -- get the attention of the kremlin and have a chilling effect on their actions? >> right. rifles won't do it. the russians have something like 1,500 tanks, 40,000 men right on the ukrainian border. it's time to make the ukrainians a credible military deterrent, backed up by nato, backed up by american military technology, but most importantly, a signal from this administration that putin can go no farther. and when that comes across,

putin will back down. >> well, the administration is sending meals ready to eat. i suppose that's a deterrent, a deterrent to eating. trust me, i've had them! >> if you've had an mre, you'd know it's a personal deterrent. i'm thinking more like antitank guns may be a better -- or antitank missiles is a better solution, greg. >> okay. there it is. thanks very much, general bob scales. good to see you, sir. >> all right, you, too. >> thank you. and keep it right here on fox news for the latest updates on the missing malaysian jetliner as we await confirmation on the pulse signal reportedly detected by a chinese ship in the south indian ocean. the latest right here on fox news. there negotiating, most stressful part... of buying a new car.

♪ abe! get in! punch it! [ male announcer ] let quicken loans help you save your money with a mortgage that's engineered to amaze. a fox news alert on the missing malaysian airlines jet. a chinese patrol ship reportedly detecting pulse signals, the sound found on the same frequency used by black boxes. as search crews race against the locator beacon's battery life before it shuts down forever, crews now trying to confirm that the signal is even related to the missing jet. david piper streaming live from bangkok, thailand, with the latest. david? >> reporter: hi, greg. yes, that massive international search has been continuing all day today, and there might just now be a breakthrough. the official chinese news agent, xinhua, says a chinese patrol ship detected pulse signals in

the southern indian ocean. the possible ping sounds from the plane's black box were discovered by the ship in an area outside today's search area, about 1,000 miles west of perth, australia. the chinese report, which is believed to have come directly from the ship, said the pulses were on the 37.5 gigahertz frequency, the same as the plane's pings that would be sent from that black box. chinese television earlier reported some of its ships have been moved to the new location but didn't say why, but it's worth being wary about these reports, because there have been so many false leads before, and a chinese report from aboard the ship says it's right to be cautious. >> translator: we cannot confirm if the pulse signal detected this afternoon belongs to the black box of malaysian airlines mh-370. the information compiled is being analyzed by china's maritime rescue center, and they are awaiting professional confirmation of the nature of the signal. >> reporter: the australian authorities, which are leading the sea search, haven't

confirmed the chinese report but are likely to send ships and planes to the area sunday. but they're likely to have a difficult time, because more bad weather is on the way. back to you, greg. >> david piper reporting in bangkok, thailand. david, thank you. we're going to bring you a lot more on this hunt for the missing plane's black box recorders when we talk very shortly to an aviation security analyst, so stay tuned for that. meanwhile, there are new questions today about what may have sparked this week's shooting at ft. hood. according to one account, the alleged gunman, army specialist ivan lopez, apparently became irate when he visited a human resources office and requested an application for leave of absence, but he was told to come back the next day. police say lopez then returned with a gun and started firing, killing four people, including himself, and injuring at least 16 others. texas congressman john carter is saying it's still difficult to know exactly why lopez did what he did.

>> the people who are drawn to do mass killings, historically, they're drawn to the same gathering of people. if you look at what happens at schools, we have some people who choose schools as a place to have a mass killing, and unfortunately, i served on the base for 20 years, i have heard lots of testimony about things like this. it's not -- it's sad and we're doing everything we can, and i'm very proud of what the army has done to improve and make it better. >> police say they are still looking into any possible past history of mental illness. the southwest is now recovering after days of very severe weather. this is the aftermath. look at that. birthright, texas. an ef-1 tornado tearing through the area yesterday. people there dealing with some of the worst damage they say they've ever seen.

other areas have been hit with strong winds and hail. dominic idea anytimalie is live with more. >> some of these have been spectacular, incredible pictures coming out. hail as big as soft balls and grapefruits in northern texas is what reports came in at in the past couple of days. hunt county, texas, savage storm there. residents had mere minutes to get out of the way of dangerous ef-1 tornado that came through. four twisters touched down friday in hopkins county in texas. four people injured with a suspected tornado hitting the community of merritt, which is 40 miles northeast of dallas. and then university city, missouri, there was a tornado there that damaged at least 100 homes. and we understand that 20 of those homes are going to have to be demolished due to the severity of the damage that was inflicted there. no one hurt, very fortunately. but you know, when you talk to people there, it's a neighborhood in shock. >> you don't know what to do,

and you want to do something, so i'm out here literally picking up little specs of glass. >> the glass that has anything that can be replaced, but we are safe. as a family, as a unit, we are safe. >> i just couldn't imagine being in the house and a big tree falls on your roof like that. that's amazing. >> tornadoes down in texas, but the return of snow to wisconsin, michigan and also minnesota. we've seen some in colorado, too, an awful lot, but that's actually good news for the rockies. snowstorms there report enough moisture to the front range that it looks like there won't be a drought in colorado last year. there certainly was one last summer that caused all sorts of complications, but some severe winter storms over the winter have put the snow pack about a third higher than normal. and so, that's good news. at the moment, there is a mass of the ohio river. we're expecting that to flood to at least 4 feet between now and wednesday. and counties in illinois,

kentucky and also indiana are expected to be affected there. so, some more dire weather coming your way. and with it, some disruption, too. back to you, greg. >> pretty wild stuff. dominic, d'nitale, thanks. >> wild stuff indeed, greg. so, this weekend, most of the country will get a break from all the extreme weather, but as dominic just said, there are storm threats looming for the southeast. our meteorologist is live in the weather center. janice, he also said that the ft. worth area saw hail as big as grapefruit? >> sure. absolutely. i know. and that will do some damage to the car. that's why we urge people to stay indoors when we have severe weather alerts, not only thunderstorm watches, but tornado watches as well. the good news is, a little bit of a quiet day. we do have a system pushing across the northeast, bringing the remnants of some snow over maine, but we are watching the gulf coast for the potential of not only severe weather, large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, but incredible

flooding. we're going to watch this system. look at it develop over the next couple of days, out of the gulf of mexico, across the southeast. look at how much moisture we're talking about. we're going to see flash flood watches and warnings posted for several days as this storm moves eastward and northward up towards mid-atlantic and the northeast. we could get upwards of 4 inches of rainfall across this region, an area that really doesn't need the rainfall, so flooding is going to be a concern up towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast, where we could get several inches. so, for tomorrow's severe threat, we start along the gulf coast, including new orleans, mobile, up towards montgomery, alabama, and then by monday we shift in towards the southeast, up towards the mid-atlantic, again with the potential of hail, winds and tornadoes. the good news is we have been into a tornado drought, so to speak. january very low numbers, same with february, march and april as well, but we could see an uptick, certainly throughout the month of april. that's typically where we see tornadoes, and this is the area we typically watch across

tornado alley, then across the southeast, up towards mid-atlantic and the ohio river valley. current temperatures, i guess some more good news is we're starting to feel like spring out there. 52 in new york city, 55 in kansas city, 56 in dallas and greg, this one is for you. new york city forecast, 50s and 60s this week. by friday, maybe we'll push 70 degrees? >> i love it. seriously? if you were here -- >> would i get a hug? >> no, i'd do a full-on chest bump. >> very nice. >> like they do at the football games? >> would you do the chest bump? >> that would be a youtube moment. >> i know. >> we might have to get that on somehow. >> see there? i think it would be a celebration. thank you very much, janice dean. what is wrong with that, greg? >> i'd call human resources. >> come on, your mind always goes somewhere. >> i'm kidding. >> it's ridiculous. >> it will be a nice reprieve to finally get some good weather, won't it? >> absolutely. >> all right. after a month of intense

searching, the black box detector, apparently picking up a signal in the indian ocean. we're going to have the latest on the missing malaysian plane coming up next. and as north korea continues to test fire its missiles, how neighboring japan is planning to protect its citizens. plus, parents are opting out of the common core standards testing their kids. we're going to have a live report on that coming up. stick around.

a chinese ship reportedly detecting a pulse signal in the indian ocean. this comes nearly one month after a malaysian plane carrying 229 passengers and 12 crew members disappeared. officials in australia are saying characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft's black box. joining us now by phone is mike boyd. he's an aviation security analyst. mr. boyd, how are you this afternoon? >> just fine. how about you? >> i'm well, thank you. but i want to know what you're thinking. look, listen, nothing has been confirmed just yet, but how credible at this point would you say this report is, in your opinion? >> well, the chinese are the ones with the skin in the game with 153 of their citizens involved, and they were obviously looking for something like this. now, a couple of pings isn't always a breakthrough. we've had a lot of breakthrough, but at least this is something that's semi-credible, but we'll have to wait and see whether it pans out to be something that's reliable. >> and when you talk about those

pings, mr. boyd, is it a sound that's so distinct that it cannot be mistaken for something else, or is there something else in the ocean that could emit those same sounds? >> to my knowledge, that 37.5 kilo hertz is specific to a black box. is that really what they heard briefly or not, that's the open question, because so many of these sure things, we're getting a little jaded now, but if it was that, that probably was a black box, but we don't know yet. >> we don't know yet. and if it is a black box, the black box that we're all waiting to hear from, what will the black box tell us? >> well, see, that's the problem here. a lot of people are thinking, we'll get the black box, it will solve the mystery. a black box, whether it's a recorder or the regular flight recorder, will tell you every parameter on the airplane, what the fuel was, what the flaps were, what the speed was, all those things. the thing it may not lead us to is why did that airplane turn around 40 minutes after takeoff. so, it might give us some leads,

but it's not necessarily going to be the rosetta stone of this entire affair. >> and why wouldn't it be the rosetta stone? >> well, because we don't know who turned the airplane. we don't know why they turned the airplane. we don't know what happened in the cockpit quite yet. so, we know what was going on with the airplane, but the intent of the people causing it to happen, that may be another whole thing. >> but doesn't it record what's going on in the cockpit? or is it true that those recordings are done in loops of a couple of hours, and so, and then they're rerecorded over? >> that's going to be a problem. they normally go in a loop of about two hours, and if that was the case with the recorder on this airplane, that means the initial event that caused the airplane to turn, and that plane flew for an additional seven hours, that original event may have been erased over, so we might not even have that. >> but it would at least give you sort of -- we don't know why the plane would have turned this -- again, we're speculating here if it's the black box and what the black box might tell us. and you mentioned just a short

while ago that it could possibly tell us that it turned, bwe dont know who turned the flight, et cetera. but with some of those things off the table as an aviation securities analyst, what do you glean from what you can get? >> then we'll know what the airplane did for seven hours, and from that, we can attach other things to it, like what was going on on that airplane. remember, the parameters that that box monitors on an ongoing basis, so it's a push in the right direction. but again, it's not necessarily going to tell us who did it and why it was done. >> yeah, and those are big questions that everybody would like to have answered. you know, sir, they talk about the life of the black box, the battery life. if, in fact, this is the black box, how long would they have to get to it to get whatever information they can off of it? >> well, number one, if they can find it, you know, that battery life there, just the pinger, that might last 35 days, 40

days, 20 days. it should last about 30 days. but once they get a hold of the black box, then there's no life-limited issue there in terms of the data inside of it. whether they get it tomorrow or five years from now, the data will still be there. >> right, yeah, so the battery life depends on the pinger, not the information itself, so that will still be there. how do you think this changes the search, if at all? >> well, i think it would change the focus of the search, because it's in another quadrant that needs to be looked at. they've been looking in other quadrants, but it does help, and the chinese have done a great job of trying to focus this down, and i would suspect -- they're no-nonsense people. this is not something they would put out just on the basis of trying to get some pr. this is probably a very serious thing. we're not dealing now with the malaysian government, we're dealing with the chinese government. >> the chinese government, and then the australian airplane -- not airplane, but aviation officials are saying that they can't confirm that information, but they are being very careful to wait to confirm.

some people were complaining that they're taking a long time, but as you know, sir, there has been so much information that people have sort of jumped to the wrong conclusions so quickly that they are going to be very cautious about this, and that doesn't surprise you, does it? >> not at all. i mean, after four weeks of hit and miss and four weeks of jumping up and down, we're going to be very, very careful about this. this is probably the most positive we've had in four weeks, especially because of the source being the chinese, but we still have to wait and see. >> yeah. well, of course, we are all hoping for the very sake of those families who are waiting to find out what happened with their loved ones on board that flight. mike boyd, we appreciate your expertise. aviation security analyst. thank you, sir. more than a dozen states are now considering legislation to repeal the common core standards testing. that was designed during president obama's first term to set consistent standards for american students, but a growing number of parents across the country opting out of the common core testing for their kids,

saying the government should not dictate what children learn. brian yenis is live in our new york city newsroom with the latest. brian? >> hey, greg. left, right, center, parents and teachers are uniting against the common core test. this week, about 4 million students grades 3-8 in 36 states took the english arts portion of the test, but angry parents and critics say common core testing is causing unnecessary stress and anxiety, forcing students to learn a test and nothing else. parents say kids are coming home in tears, homework replaced with test preparation. as many as 30,000 students in new york opted out from taking the test this week, more than double last year's number. parents like danielle flores say common core allows the federal government to dictate curriculum, taking power away from them and local educators. >> children learn in many

different ways, and differentiation of instruction is critical and essential. every child does not learn the same. this is a one size fits all education, and many children are being miseducated. >> reporter: the tests are given in 90-minute sessions over a week's time and many schools are forcing kids who opt out to sit and stare and do nothing in class during the testing. advocates say the test is meant to make sure all kids are getting a higher level of education. >> common core is designed to be more rigorous and to help students be ready for college and career. and by opting out, the students aren't going to see the data that comes from completing that assessment to really see where they're at. >> reporter: legally, parents do have the right to opt out. about 100 bills to slow, stop or reverse common core requirements were introduced in state legislatures this year. that's an 85% increase over the year before. think it's not going to be an issue for the midterm elections? think again.

>> oh, yeah, absolutely. thanks very much, bryan llenas. i'm not a big fan of testing core curriculum. i find that, and this is my experience in my household, teachers are teaching to the test, and there's more to education than that. >> more to education than that, and i think sometimes, i think your regional experiences determine your answers to questions. >> right. very good point. >> you know, so. >> all right. if the full force of the government goes after you, it can certainly be a nightmare. suddenly, even innocent people can become the enemy. tonight on fox news, we go in depth in a one-hour documentary. it's called "enemies of the state." and among those who were targeted, oil man harold hamm, who discovered the vast bockan oil and gas fields of the northern plains. i spoke with him about his trip to the white house. you had the opportunity to speak with president obama. >> i did. >> what happened? >> i wanted him to know, for sure, of the opportunity that we

had, and we were creating a whole new renaissance of american oil and gas, and there's a lot of good things that come from that. >> good middle class jobs, for instance. >> national security, balance of trade. >> and his reaction? >> he didn't want to hear it. he didn't hear it. >> two weeks later, president obama's department of justice went after harold hamm, bringing criminal charges against his company. the crime, killing a bird. that's right, one bird, inadvertently. tonight on fox news, the story of harold hamm and three others and their fierce battle against an all-powerful government capable of crushing any individual who stands up against it. "enemies of the state," 10:00 p.m. tonight, again sunday at 9:00 p.m. it's not just harold hamm. cattle ranchers, you'll hear their story. their lives were absolutely ruined. they have nothing now, nothing left. they've basically lost the ranch, and the kids believe mom and dad died because of the stress when the government went

after them. and of course, the infamous conservative groups that were started and the government went after them, the irs, lois lerner. so, a lot more tonight. stay tuned. we have new developments in the search for the missing malaysian plane. a signal by the same frequency emitted by flight data recorders reportedly detected in the indian ocean. we'll have a live report coming up. plus, football players at northwestern university told they can unionize. how this decision could impact push to pay student athletes and keep them safe. our legal panel weighs in on this very interesting subject, coming up next. if you've got copd like me... ...hey breathing's hard. know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours.

spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? don't wait to ask your doctor about spiriva.

now to a fox news alert and possibly major developments in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370, as a chinese patrol ship may have detected a pulse

signal in the south indian ocean. that's according to a report from chin china's official news agency. they say a black box detector picked up the signal at the same frequency emitted by flight data recorders. however, there is no confirmation the signals are related to the missing jet. molly henneberg live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: a pulse at that frequency, 37.5 kilohertz per second, the same frequency black boxes use to send out their locator pings, is what is intriguing people about this claim by the chinese. the chinese also are saying one of their air force planes spotted some white floating objects in that search area, but these details are coming out from china's state-run media and not from the international coordinator of the search. air chief martial angus houston. houston put out a statement today saying "i have been advised that a series of sounds

have been detected by a chinese ship in the search area. the characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft black box. a number of white objects were also sighted on the surface about 90 kilometers from the detection area. however, there is no confirmation at this stage that the signals and the objects are related to the missing aircraft." so, we don't know yet. malaysian authorities say they're trying to verify the report from china. and one fox news military analyst says it will take too long to get ships to the area the chinese have indicated, and it would be better to send planes to that location quickly, loaded with special equipment. >> you drop sonobuoys, and what a sonobuoy is, is it is a transmitter and a microphone, and it splashes down in the water. you drop it out of the airplane. and when it hits the water, it lowers a microphone on a cable down deep into the ocean, and then anything that that microphone picks up, it sends back up to the sonobuoy, which then transmits that back to the

aircraft. >> reporter: people familiar with these types of searches say there's a lot of noise under water, so we shouldn't get too excited about that report of a ping yet. >> molly henneberg, thank you very much, molly. greg? a regional director of the national labor relations board, the nlrb, ruling that scholarship football players at northwestern university are employees of the school and they have a right to unionize and fight for things like, well, negotiated health care coverage, larger scholarship funds, other benefits. so, how could this impact schools in college sports nationwide? mercedes, damon schwartz, former defense attorney and former prosecutor. any time they issue a decision, i automatically assume it's wrong. and you? >> a lot of folks say the very same thing. first of all, it's very politicized. the board is generally very politicized. they are appointed by the

government, so by the u.s. government. >> extremely liberal at this point. >> extremely liberal. there has been a lot of shifts, especially in this administration, but the real issue is, these are employees? how many -- how many institutions can you honestly say that there is nothing that the employee can bring to that institution other than just work in the institution? here, they're not working for the institution, they're getting an education, and certainly, they're going to graduate with a degree. they can't possibly be characterized as an employee. other institutions, employees go in, they work for the benefit of the institution, not for -- not in this case. >> you know, these scholarship football players say we deserve mo more. what they're getting, actually, is priceless. i mean, this is a private institution. i don't know off hand what this particular university costs, but a lot of private universities -- and believe me, i know this all too well -- it's about $60,000 a year. you're talking about $250,000 for an education that is invaluable. >> i think that's a different

issue. i think it's apples and oranges -- >> but that is the issue. >> i don't think so, greg. the bottom line is these are laborers. they're on the field, okay? the school is making hundreds of millions of dollars -- >> don't they want to be there? what do you mean laborers? >> they're on the field beyond the scope of their education, all right? so, once it's beyond -- it's a very simple issue. it's beyond the scope of their education. they're putting in 40, 50 hours of work for the school on the football field so the school can make huge, huge profits, and then therefore, they're clearly allowed to a collective bargaining situation. it only makes sense. >> only about 10% of division 1 schools actually make a profit on this, which means 90% don't. a lot of them lose money on this. >> they lose money. plus, it goes directly to your point, they're getting a $300,000 education. what other employees -- what other company anywhere in the u.s. says, by the way, my employees, when they started, they're going to get a free education, they're going to get a degree and they're going to go

out and they can be much more? nothing like that. >> wisconsin, i've been so impressed in the ncaa tournament. wisconsin, final four, the badgers. these guys are great student athletes. they are students first, and they're -- by the way, you know, look at their transcripts. that proves it. here's scott walker, who is the governor of wisconsin. take a listen. >> just think it's one of those things that's kind of ridiculous. i think it makes sense that athletes are offered scholarships. >> aren't they students first, athletes second? >> well, it's a case-by-case situation. you mentioned before, 90% of the programs don't make money. that's true. that's why each case is different. that's why each collective bargaining situation is different. but you can't say where these players generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for ncaa schools all over the country, where they put 40 and 50 hours -- this is not an academic function. >> what's the benefit? why do you need a union for

these students? >> they need -- >> they don't need -- historically, unions have been there because employees have been mistreated on some level, but these students are not being mistreated. >> this decision basically says they don't have to have a union. they have the right -- >> these guys don't know any better. >> exactly. they're going to turn around -- once the students know you can unionize, fantastic! >> i think most people think this has been an injustice for a long time. these guys are on the field playing. it's not an academic situation -- >> the top athletes are going to start demanding, i deserve a luxury suite at the ritz carlton when i travel. i want a limousine, i want first-class airfare. and the flip side of it is you drop a pass, you're fired. >> sure. i mean, there is that flip side. but here, these students are not being mistreated. their argument, they can bring lawsuits against the university. they don't need to be unionized. >> what about the safety of the students? what about safety issues going forward? >> they can still sue, though, david. >> they should have a right to have a union. >> they still have the right. it's not being given away.

>> they're going for the football game, who are they going -- >> let them join the nba or nfl if they want to make money. >> you can't just join the nfl. >> i know, and that's the point. many of them just aren't good enough to actually earn what they're demanding. >> absolutely, that's why they should be compensated properly. >> david schwartz, mercedes colwin, nice to see you. >> thanks. >> very fiery discussion. >> like it, greg. thank you. so, a foreign policy expert will be joining us to weigh in on the mounting search for the missing malaysian jetliner as we await confirmation to the pulse signal reportedly detected by a chinese patrol ship in the south indian ocean. stick around for that report. become very popular. because when you buy the new samsung galaxy s5 on verizon, you get a second samsung galaxy s5 for free. so, who ya gonna give it to? maybe your brother could use it to finally meet a girl. your mom, but isn't your love reward enough? its not. maybe your roommate, i mean you pretty much share everything else.

fox news alert. awaiting confirmation now on the pulse signal reportedly detected by a chinese patrol ship in the south indian ocean. with australian officials saying the characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft's black box, this as the urgent multinational search for the boeing 777 airliner intensifies in the indian ocean. rick grinnell joins us, fox news contributor, served as a spokesman for four u.s. ambassadors to the united nations. and let's talk about the human side of this, and we have so many families who are heartbroken and they are anxious for word, and so many times their hopes have been dashed by

false reports, and it's been 29 days, rick. >> yeah, you have 239 individuals that were on that plane from 14 different countries, and the tragedy is really unspeakable. right now i still think that we are in the progress of trying to figure out what happened. and so, hopefully, the 14 governments, at least 14 governments, are providing technical know-how and expertise and people and money so that we can figure out what went wrong. for the families who are waiting to figure out what went wrong, they still haven't begun to mourn. i think, you know, if you are a family member, you're still holding out hope. i know that seems crazy, but until you know exactly what happened, you're going to be hoping that the governments that are involved are trying to figure out exactly what went wrong. and i don't think you give up

hope until you absolutely know what went wrong on that plane 29 days ago. >> and i suppose there is a very serious national security concern for a great many countries, including the united states, that want to know whether in the end this was an act of terrorism or something else. >> yeah, i mean, in a post-9/11 world, it needs to be the number one concern. because let's be very honest about the fact that the united states, our citizens, our people around the world, we would be the target of any type of terrorist act if this is something that is pointing to a terrorist act. we need to make sure that our government is leading this investigation, we have the best experts, we have the latest technology, we have the best technology. and so, we need to make sure that even though we had not the majority of people on this flight, that we are leading this investigation. we have seen the malaysian government mess up.

we've seen the chinese government get very angry with the malaysian government for not doing enough, for not really taking ownership and leadership in this investigation, sending out mixed messages, false information, and really trying to show the world that they're in charge, when clearly, they're not doing enough to calm the nerves and to lead a quality investigation of this magnitude. so, i think the united states needs to do more. i think we need to step up. i know a lot of people think, you know, we can't police the world, it's not our problem, but we do have the latest technology. we are the best at this. and so, we should be stepping up to figure out, was this an act of terror? what went wrong? >> well, and then there's, you know, the practical aspects of this. let's say the flight data recorder and the voice cockpit recorder are recovered. is it finders keepers? i mean, you know, who gets it?

who analyzes it? is it the malaysians, the chinese, the australians, or is it the most skilled, which is the ntsb, by far? >> yeah, i think that, you know, i have a lot of experience with this while being at the united nations, and in a tragedy, people want to know the facts. and so, they're going to defer to the experts. so, the americans, and there are a couple of other countries that would be helping us. so, we would take the lead in evaluating that black box to figure out what type of information we can pull from it. it may be useful information and it may not be, but we need to make sure that the best experts are looking at that information, because we do have a global goal in trying to figure out what went wrong so that we can fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again. >> yeah, as i understand it, i mean, you have to resurrect this thing from the floor of the ocean, you have to keep it in saltwater, it has to be neutralized, and then cleaned so you don't lose the data there.

and the ntsb knows how to do that. ric grennell, nice to see you. thank you very much. >> thanks, greg. a big weekend at the george h.w. bush presidential library at texas a&m university. president bush, there he is, making a rare public appearance at a huge celebration marking 25 years since he first took office. shannon breen is live in college station, texas, with more. hey, shannon. >> reporter: hi. yes, very celebratory mood here, personnel and staffers from those bush years, celebrating his legacy ahead of his 90th birthday this suso, there were activities with a dedication of a statue in his honor last night. his vice president, dan quayle, was there and talked about his legacy. here's what he said. >> the style of his leadership led to results. geez, just look at it -- foreign

policy, the apprehension of noriega and democracy in panama, expelling saddam hussein, the fall of the soviet union, fall of eastern and central europe, the fall of the berlin wall, the elimination of apartheid. america's standing tall after those four years. >> and also as part of this weekend, there are all kinds of panels talking about foreign policy, domestic policy during those years in the late '80s and early '90s. i had a chance to moderate one of the panels today with three historians who were all working on different books about president bush's legacy. they touched on the positives, the negative, the heart-warming, the difficult, all the things that happened during those years, and they got a little saucy, too, i've got to tell you. don meacham, one of the authors, a pulitzer prize-winning author who is now working on a very lengthy book about president george h.w. bush, shared an early accounting of some of the girlfriends that he had before he met the love of his life, barbara bush, and it brought the

house down. it was a lot of fun. so, so much that we're going to bring you in the show live here tomorrow, 1:00 eastern from the library. we talked with ben carson, with former defense secretary bob gates, who served as cia director under bush 41. and also, we'll have an exclusive sit-down, one on one with jeb bush, all tomorrow. >> okay, lots and lots coming out of there from college station, shannon. i'll be watching. thank you so much. >> yeah, that's pretty exciting, isn't it? >> yeah. >> all right. a catholic archbishop gets in over his head. the controversy could end up costing someone a king's ransom. that story's straight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the nissan altima with nasa inspired zero gravity seats. ♪ let it take the weight off your drive. ♪

. for a look beyond the news, here is saturday's commentary. >> after two weeks of frantic arm twisting, secretary of state john kerry says it's reality check time in the middle east. this is true. the reality is that only a biblical miracle will reward the obama team with an agreement to end the historic israeli/palestinian conflict. it remains a foreign policy achievement he so desperately needs. america's weariness of war and the president's lack of

fortitude drove his reaction natura rationale. but tough consequences emerged. the ms. friday of syria's civil war has paved the way forreacti rationale. but tough consequences emerged. the ms. friday of syria's civil war has paved the way for al qaeda's recruitment of the young. egypt is wary of u.s. influence. against that backdrop and the administration's insistence on conducting foreign policy like group therapy, russia's bold annexation of crimea has shaken the diplomatic kaleidoscope. mr. putin chose the right time just when mr. obama is surrounded by crises. the gathering storm of a sunni insurgency of iraq, an exchange of artillery fire between north and south korea, iran's steadfast development of the nuclear bomb, and that elusive key to middle east peace, successful negotiations between israel and the pal less

continuian authority. israel incensed over the slow pace of the negotiations resc d rescinded its promise to release a fourth batch much pows. palestinian responded by taking steps to statehood. it became a nonmember observer state at the united nations two years ago. full membership is its goal. mr. kerry struggling to be the states man who rescued the middle east dangled the possibility of releasing john than po jonathan pollard, convicted american spy. pollard is a former u.s. navy research analyst who sold a treasure trove of secrets to iz

israel and perhaps the soviets. he's scheduled to be released in november of next year. so why the hurry? pollard has long been a cause celabra. it's called grasping at straws. the secretary of state has become a cartoon version of ambition at any price. what is pollard to do with these negotiations? more important, is there not one person in the white house who sees a moral failure here? and mind you, we are left to believe the two sides are still arguing over procedure and dead lines, not whether they should stop killing each other. unnamed sources describe the behavior of the participants as unhelpful, diplomatic code for failure. as a postscript and comment on our worldwide strategy, consider what mr. kerry said last february about climate change.

he called it perhaps the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. this preoccupation with climate even at a time when the russians give every indication of invading ukraine is almost a punch line. nevertheless, chuck hagel, our secretary of defense, spent three days in hawaii last week to attend a climate change conference on greenhouse gases. pentagon says it's a national security threat. aren't they changing the subject? >> that is liz trotta. an archbishop in atlanta is putting his controversial mansion on the market. he'll sell the $2.2 million home just three months after moving in. catholics criticizing gregory for spending too much money when pope francis is setting an example of austerity. gregory says the proceeds will be used for needs of the

fox news alert on the missing malaysian airlines jet, a chinese patrol ship reportedly detecting pulse signals, that according to china's official news agency now. australian officials are saying that characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft's black box as search crews race against the clock to locate it before the beacon's shrinking battery life in a matter of hours or days. glad you're with us. welcome to america's news headquarters. >> so far, though, it has not been confirmed that the signal is even related to the missing skret. the chines
