>> when is the after the show show? >> starts in two seconds. >> stick around. good morning, everybody. it is cost the most promising lead yet in the search for flight 370. australian fishes say they are picking up more signals with the with the pings in the black boxes. typically a black box only hold as lifespan of about a month. so it's a race against time. an update on that. there is a rescue at sea thanks to a u.s. navy. a one-year-old girl on board a ship as parents decision to take their two young children on a voyage around the world comes under storm of criticism. i'm bill hemmer.

solid. productive. martha: very good. i'm martha maccallum. good to have you all here today. their names are eric and charlotte kaufman. and they're defending this digs. the california couple was prepared for the whole journey but nine hundred miles off of cabo san lucas mexico, their infant daughter came down a fever and a rash. antibiotics did not help. the boat lost its steering and communications. coordinated effort between the navy and coast guard was called in to rescue them and their baby girl. >> it is nearly successful mission. we're still underway. for us the mission is not complete until we transfer the patient to the next highest level of medical care which will be a medical facility in the san diego area. martha: william la jeunesse live from los angeles. william, what is the latest on this family? >> reporter: based on what they heard on the radio medics said this infant needed immediate help, strapped in the pacific, that wasn't going to happen.

the navy and coast guard got into high gear when they got into the sos. this was two or three hours by plane off the southern tip of mexico. the air national barred launch as c-130. they parachute into the ocean at night, inflates a life raft and rescue the family. spend three nights with them, stablizing the child and waiting for the u.s. navy frigate van der gift to arrive sunday morning. that ship should be in by wednesday. this is the kaufman family. three-year-old and one-year-old and had salmonella before the trip but was cleared to go. when a flight surgeon heard the child's fever and rash, medics decided they needed immediate help. >> we were in contact with our pararescue team. every four hours we speak to them. and get update on the babe system the if the baby is stable, if it, it is able wait until wednesday that is the best

course. but at sam time we want them to get hire medical assistance and. >> reporter: on wednesday the frigate will arrive in san diego harbor. they may arrive to send in a harbor boat to bring her in quickly, martha. martha: what are the parents saying about the decision to take this trip, william? >> reporter: well, actually, i'm going to get to that they basically regret it. but instead of outpouring of support you might expect, a lot of people are outraged that the kaufmans would take a one-year-old and three-year-old around the world on a sailing voyage, let alone, on a 36-foot sailboat which is rather small. eric is a trained sailor. charlotte has been blogging about this. on march 31st, she wrote about the awful conditions, that the kids couldn't sleep of rocking the boat. concerned about her falling while they're preparing meals. describing the tears and bruise,

28 miles an hour, eight-foot waves. nobody to sleep. basically on day eight, she writes, i think this is the stupidest thing i ever done. people agreed on april 1st, she wrote, this is her last post, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. even charlotte's sister, martha, called this decision nuts. apparently now, the at least some members of the family agree. martha: wow, quite a story they will have to tell. william, thank you very much. as we've been saying this morning it is now a race against time in the hunt for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. it is 31 days since the search started. time is running out because the black box batteries last for 30 days as searchers may be getting closer to the biggest clue we've had yet in this mystery. australian officials say their ships are picking up more signals in that area now, out in the indian ocean that are consistent with those from the

missing flight's black boxes. >> significantly this would be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. clearly this is the most promising lead and probably in the search so far it's the, it's probably the best information that we have had. bill: hey, what's happening? this is where they are right now, okay? this is the chinese signal from two days ago. it picked up the signal about 963 miles off the coast of perth. ocean shield which is a asset on behalf of the u.s. navy scoured the ocean floor which picked you a day later. that is why there is so much optimism based on the coast of perth. remember the original search area was right and here. it move ad little north of there. it was off the west coast of perth. from the beginning they talked

about the ocean currents and the way the water moves up here. perhaps that suggests that the debris field is moving in that direction. none of that is confirmed. if we go up one time we can show you two main routs and main theories from the origination point in kuala lumpur. one was kazahkstan that was ruled out weeks ago. one was rout two off the coast of australia. this is the area again on the screen, you can see off the coast of perth if you go back to the original site, where this location is. and maybe, cause maybe, now that it is dark right now, 9:00 in the evening, perhaps that is the best clue they have got. on the black box we mentioned this couple times. 31 days is normal for the voice cockpit recorder and data voice recorder but they do last longer. that's what they're hoping for right now. how much longer? is that a week? is that two weeks. depending which analyst and expert you talk to and they have got some time. martha: depths in that area are

so deep, no submarine vessel any kind has gone down as far as it may be down there. they may have a heck after time reaching it if it is down there. so we'll see. this morning big story as chaos escalates in ukraine. prow russian gunmen seizing government buildings now in two more major cities in that area. hundreds of protesters carrying russian flags deif manning a referendum with the goal of joining russia. this is in the eastern city of danesk. raising concerns that putin's forces are trying to push past crimea. they remain deeply divided with ties to the west and those that want closely ties with moscow. bill: u.s. show of force and hot spot overseas. the navy sending two more ballistic missile destroyers to japan amid growing tensions with north korea. they carry a range of sophisticated weapons, both offensive and defensive.

defense secretary chuck hagel announcing the deployment during a visit to japan, one of america's closest allies in the region. martha: well, this from afghanistan. the polls are now closed and the votes are being counted to see who will be the country's next president. voters turning up in big numbers to choose a successor to hamid karzai who is term limitedded. despite threats to voters from the taliban. conor powell is streaming live from afghanistan. what impact has the taliban had on the process, mart conor. >> reporter: taliban was vowing to do the same thing this time, vowing to to disrupt this election launch attacks, but afghan security forces performed extremely well. there was very little violence across the country. as a result huge numbers of afghans turned out to vote. 7 million people came out to vote and huge numbers of women and both young afghan voters.

it is being hailed as an historic vote here in afghanistan. voter fraud which marched the previous election is being described as limited. it happened. some representatives have seen some of it but they don't think it was enough to disrupt the entire election. the afghans are saying it is a good election. it is accepted as credible bit candidates and afghans and international community, martha. it may not be a perfect election but a good election for this country which has a long history of bad elections. martha: hopefully a step in the right direction. connor, thank you so much. bill: back at home, big question in politics, will jeb bush run for president in 2016. we may have picked up a few hints when our shannon bream asked the former florida governor during an interview on sunday. he will make up his mind before the indof this year. >> is it okay for my family? is it, is it something that, that isn't a huge sacrifice for our family? and that's, you know, that is a

different set of data points, if you will and relates to a lot of love and emotion and i just don't want to go through that until the right time. bill: so december 31, 2014. martha: yep. bill: i remember when a certain north senator from illinois had a certain timeline. he had a lot more to say in the interview with shannon. we'll talk a lot more about that. martha: brit hume weighs in on that in a few moments a possible deal to keep the middle east free process going. freeing convicted spy jonathan pollard but is that a good and wise foreign policy. the dangerous message his release could send to america's enemies. bill: there was spring break chaos. what police said to mayhem and a riot near a college campus. it led to 100 arrests. >> unbelievable what happened there. dramatic turn in a south african courtroom, rivet egg the world. "the blade runner" finally taking the stand in his murder trial. wait until you hear oscar

pistorius's emotional testimony as he describes the night that he shot and killed his girlfriend. >> i can promise that when she went to bed that night she felt loved. i've tried to put my words on paper many, many times throughout here but no words ever suffice. you know how painful heartburn can be. for fast, long lasting relief, use doctor recommended gaviscon®. only gaviscon® forms a protective barrier that helps block stomach acid from splashing up-

martha: fox news alert. dramatic developments in "the blade runner"'s murder trial. an emotional oscar pistorius taking the stand. cameras will not film his testimony. this is perhaps the most rivetting moment that we have seen or heard in this trial. the track star apologized to the family who was sitting there in the courtroom, his murdered model girlfriend. he accused of taking his life last year. listen closely. >> i would like to apologize and say that there hasn't been a moment since, since this tragedy

happened that haven't thought about your family. i wake up every morning, you're the first people i think of, the first people i pray for. i can't mention the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that i caused you and your family. i was simply trying to protect reeva. martha: simply trying to protect reeva he said at the end there. he argue s that he killed her, mistaking her for an intruder in the bathroom. prosecutors say he killed her on purpose after they had an argument. >> what a moment that was today. a former cia boss blasting the administration for offering to release an israeli spy in an effort to restart middle east peace talks. michael hayden said freeing jonathan pollard would send a disturbing message and could open the door for a people like edward snowden to walk away scott-free.

>> in order to keep the israelis talking to palestinians and offer a third view, right, if this were to take place, the administration would say pollard and everyone in my old community, the intelligence community would not be hearing pollard. they would be hearing snowed debt. they would believe that this kind of behavior could actually be politically negotiated away. bill: steven hayes, write for "weekly standard." how are you? >> good morning, bill. bill: good monday morning to you. they're calling this desperate. where was the indication that the palestinians or the israelis were willing to deal right now on middle east peace? or is this john kerry just flying around the world trying to make something happen? what is it? what's the truth? >> yeah, look, i don't think there is much of an indication that the palestinians and israelis are ready to make a deal. you heard the palestinian leader, mahmoud abbas a month ago, there would be no jewish state. woe not fall to those demands.

i think that is pretty clear. and when you look at what john kerry has done, kerry who spent about a third of his days on the road as secretary of state, dealing with the middle east, in the middle east, it's very clear that this is something that john kerry wants i think in the preservation of john kerry's legacy far more than the two parties supposedly are negotiating for. bill: pollard, will he be released or not and middle east peace talks, are they on or off? give me a quick answer on that, steve. >> i think he will not be release and i think they're close to dead again. bill: on the foreign policy on behalf of this administration when jeb bush weighed on this way from shannon's interview on sunday. >> there is no trust. there is no believe that the united states's word is its bond and i think it makes the world a more dangerous place. bill: we've lost credibility. we've lost trust. where is the proof of that? >> i think that is true. certainly in the conversations

that i've had with ambassadors with, with diplomats from around the world particularly from the middle east and gulf region and they look to the united states and shrug their shoulders where is america? why is america not trying to shape outcomes in a way they have grown accustomed to, and the way the world had grown accustomed to over the part of past century. jeb bush is right when he raises that question. not only the obama administration has to explain and democratic successors and potential 2016 candidates will have to grapple with. bill: he also applauded his father, bush 41 for the foreign policy he had. did you find that interesting in any way. >> i did. i think if you look at the past republican presidents being george w. bush and george h.w. bush he clearly decided he wanted to make an example out of the foreign policy of his father which is probably more in line with the way that many republicans are thinking about foreign policy right now and, you know, so many people have speculated that if jeb bush runs

he could face a hangover from his brother's administration. this seems to me to be perhaps a little distancing from his brother and stronger embrace of his father. bill: what else did you hear in that interview? he gave that date of december 31, 2014. what did you think of that, steve? >> you know. it was, he said several things that really jumped out at me. i thought the most interesting point in the entire discussion when he previous fashioned his comments on immigration reform where he did a full embrace of immigration reform. people coming here are coming out of love, if they're breaking laws doing it for good reasons, benign reasons but he prefaced that comment by saying i know what i'm going to say here is going to be videotaped and suggested he knew it would be used later. that is not a comment you expect to hear from somebody not seriously considering run for president. bill: good point. brit hume will pick up on that next hour. quickly on foreign policy, what is the single great post foreign policy achievement on behalf of this administration in the past

five 1/2 years. can you maim it? >> i think that's a very tough question to answer. i guess if i had to point to one it would be the, the liberation, if you will, of libya where the united states chose to lead from behind, but i think events since then and chaos we've seen in libya, not just attacks in benghazi but way i don't see we've seen since then and the fact that united states led from behind's part of that effort casts sort of a shadow. bill: are you stretching to name libya. >> yes, yes i am. i'm very much stretching. no, look i think their foreign policy and national security has been a disaster. it is very hard to come up with something to point to that's been a success. i think, you know what is interesting you asked that question to democrats and to liberals and people who are defenders of the administration and they have, i think an equally difficult time coming up with real accomplishments. bill: steve, thank you. to be debated going towards 2016

too unless things change. from the "weekly standard." thanks, steve. >> thanks, bill. bill: here's martha. martha: crowds tearing down signs and setting mattresses on fire and attacking police. not your typical spring break, right? how chaos became so bad in california that police had to fight back with tear gas on this crowd. bill: remembering the actor, mickey rooney and his amazing career from musicals with judy garland to broadway and beyond. ♪ t word.

bill: chaos in the streets of california when a spring break party turns violent. it is the annual deltop

independent a celebration near santa barbara. it turned into a riot. authorities say college students tore down stop signs. set mattresses on fire in the streets. threw bricks and bottles at police cars. the officers responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. firefighters told them to leave the area for their own safety. 56 arrested. 30 were taken to the hospital with injuries. martha: all right. today the boston public library is opening an exhibit memorializing the boss tan marathon bombing. it is showcasing items such as notes and running shoes that were left at the makeshift memorial in copley square with an inside look what it took to bring this all together as we get closer to the one-year anniversary. molly line is live from copley square in boston this morning. good morning, molly. >> reporter: good morning, martha. from witnesses to bostonians to

hose to watched the carnage of boston marathon bombings on television, people around the world thought for a way to support the victims and for the city of boston. a memorial grew and grew in copley just past the finish line. many of the sentiments spree etf priced so with a lot of hard work and opening title, messages from the marathon memorial. running shoes, crosses that bear the name of the loss, boston's copley square became a gathering place in the weeks following the marathon bombing, a sacred space of shared grief and sympathy. the city south to preserve the cherished outpouring. >> that we were able to respond to a tragedy with such love. >> reporter: at the city archives, shells and drawers are brimming. >> i can tell you that we have over a thousand paper items in the archives. so over a thousand messages from a thousand different people that does not count the sneakers, it doesn't count the stuffed animals. the magnitude of this project is

incredible. >> reporter: more than 1800 pieces of condolence mail poured into then mayor tom menino's office. a runner gave the shirt off his back. >> we have many items from race day that people left us at the memorial. >> reporter: running shoes filled hundreds of boxes. boston-based iron mountain, specializing in document preservation volunteered the company's services and much-needed storage in a massive climate controlled facility west of the city. >> this is a sacred space. you know, when you come in here, we truly treat it like a memorial, right, not just a set of objects. >> reporter: the exhibit will be on disally here at the boston public library through may 11th. that is very close to the end of the finish line. people, participants, runners will be able to stop by to see the exhibit. martha. martha: big day. important to remember those who lost and suffered in that horrific attack. molly, thank you very much. bill: couple things coming up.

we're working on indepth story on the intelligence gathering and that is going to air soon. martha: whether or not they truly connected the dots and whether or not there should have been more indicators that tamerlan tsarnaev was very much on the radar before this happened. bill: looking forward to that you talked to a lot of high-ranking officials to get their insight. we'll be on the ground monday, the 21st of april, "america's newsroom" up live in boston. it will be a big month for that to inand our country. tracking a possible tornado that touching down in one part of our country. the dangerous weather on the move yet again today. martha: new questions about whether senator dianne feinstein can be objective after a new report set to be release on the cia's interrogation programs. is the report fair or did her personal feelings get in the way. >> this is an attempt to rewrite history around pushing a narrative that is not true. so those of oust us who were there and know the value of the

program are outraged. @e@8ñúñ÷

the day we rescued riley, was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of the things that matter most. join today at angieslist.com

martha: we are back. we've got some dangerous and damaging storms that are rolling across the south right now. a possible tornado touching down near jackson, mississippi. reports of up to six people injured there. emergency officials say that some people are trapped in their homes because of the debris. and are warning others to look for cover. the national weather service says that the possible twister is moving with quote, complete destruction.

that it has leveled homes, businesses, and cars and has the capability to do more damage. we're going to get you more details as they come in. watching for that. bill: thank you, martha. new information now on the fort hood shooting massacre. president obama attending a memorial service later this week in texas. three killed, 16 wounded when a soldier opened fire on post. he then took his own life when a police officer confronted him. rick leventhal, still on base there on post at fort hood. some new information, rick, developing over the weekend about what may have started this shooting. what have we learned? >> reporter: bill, i confirmed with general mark millly, that the army and investigators are looking at this as a possible spark to the shooting last wednesday. that it may have been an argument over paperwork. that specialist ivan lopez had gone to an hr office seeking a leave of absence request and was told to come back the next day. his request was denied on wednesday afternoon, according to a soldier who was there. instead of leaving and not

coming back, he grabbed his weapon from his vehicle and then opened fire. first on a supervisor and then on others randomly in shooting spree that lasted nearly 20 minutes before lopez killed himself. fort hood released an overhead view of the sprawling crime scene that offers area size of two city blocks and areas and roads. all this is carefully photographed and documented by the army's criminal investigation division, texas rangers and the fbi. bill, we're expecting an update from the army this afternoon on the progress of their investigation. as you mentioned, a major memorial service being planned here for this wednesday. preparations are already underway. bill: thank you, rick leventhal back on post there in fort hood. martha: former cia director michael hayden is now questioning the fairness of a report that is set to be released by the senate intelligence committee on the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques. general hayden says he thinks chairwoman dianne feinstein's

personal feelings have made the report less objective. here first senator feinstein pushing to declassify the findings of that report. >> if the senate can declassify this report, we will be able to insure that an un-american, brutal program, of detention and ininterrogation will never again be considered or permitted. martha: but hayden, general hayden says those are very words are troubling to him. >> that sentence, that motivation for the report, chris, may show deep, emotional feeling on the part of the senator but i don't think it leads you to an objective report. martha: kt mcfarland, deputy assistant defense secretary during the reagan administration and also a fox news national security analyst. welcome. what do you think of their back and forth there? >> a nan should never use words emotional with regard to women under any circumstances whatsoever. you and i both know that.

i think there is a bigger issue here the whole issue of waterboarding. it is still not a settled issue in most american's minds. i think there are two questions, one is waterboarding torture? we have very legitimate people, navy seals says for example, we've been waterboarding as part of our training procedures. it is not torture. on the other hand john mccain says it is torture. he is a guy with a lot of credibility. there is no real answer. is it torture, is it not? there is a real gray area. the second issue, which is more important, who cares if it is torture or not, is it effective? the assumption was it was effective t got us to usama bin laden and prevented terrorist attacks. now this new cia report throws question. maybe that is not what led to usama bin laden. maybe that is not the effective thing that we think it is. that's the key. martha: i think when you look at this, you have to take yourself back to that moment in time. >> yeah. martha: the fact that, congress was briefed on these procedures and on exactly what was going to

be happening. jose rodriguez, a former cia agent involved in this whole process very closely. in fact he was one of the briefers of the members of the senate. he briefed nancy pelosi personally and now he watches nancy pelosi stand up and say, this is reap prehensible, horrible, american behavior. they knew what was going on. >> i think, so that is why i think there is another issue here which is, look, waterboarding, whether it is torture, whether it is not, whether it is effective, whether it is not we're not doing any it anymore? why are we having this debate? this was different mind set immediately after september 11th. we were convinced there would be another attack and more attacks coming and these people made reasonable decisions at the time. is this a political tool? is this a current administration deciding let's investigate the guys who came before. let's say what they did was the wrong thing to do and potentially prosecute them. that is what brother bothers me. we should not politicize

intelligence gathering or intelligence officials or intelligence community and that's what it looks like. martha: the people involved in the interrogation claim it led them to the currier that led them to bin laden. they say there is direct chain of events led from point a to point c ultimately. i would say to anyone looking at this question, you have to ask yourself when you answer this question, if a dirty bomb, god forbid went off in manhattan today and they thought there might be one in chicago, god forbid and might know who was on to it, do you think anybody in this country, all right, we'll get the information, whatever you do don't waterboarding. they say do whatever you have to do. >> do whatever you have to do. that is the whole issue. is it effective and or is it not effective. that is what the cia report has to say. we'll see what it has to say. martha: kt, thank you very much. bill? bill: three hots and a cot apparently not enough for inmates in another state. inmates are being signed up for obamacare. yes question is that good for

america and save money. >> we'll debate it fair and balanced. >> a very big video screen. a special tribute that is playing out on a city skyscraper. ♪ woman: everyone in the nicu -- all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment.

martha: well, the big game and hundreds of people using the front of a 29-story office building in philadelphia to play the world's largest game of at the time truss. it was decked with hundreds of led lights and people using joysticks t was to kick off philly tech week, to celebrate the 30-year release of at the timetries. i -- tetris. i knew it was there. bill: "usa today" is say something growing trend, a kentucky jail signing up soon to be released inmates on the

health exchange. bill: medicaid. this could be huge. federal rules ban the use of medicaid while someone is incarcerated, it does not apply to inmates hospitalized at least for 24 hours. kentucky has about 12,000 inmates. the average medical cost per year in 2013 in the bluegrass state, topping $4,000 per year. is this smart money? tony sayegh, executive vice president of jamestown associates and a fox news contributor. mary anne marsh, former advisor to john kerry. good morning to both of you. let the march madness continue now that it is april. tony, what they're arguing in kentucky, these prisoners once they're released, high rate of them coming back into the jail system, we'll have to pay for them any way whether it is the right pocket or left pocket eventually they will get money for health care and health services. >> yeah. bill: you get them on the front end and help them out now. >> right. bill: what do you think of that logic? >> this is april madness, we learn every day a loophole of

obamacare making absolutely no sense of the the moral and political argument for this is ridiculous. the fact that you are putting on the same level, a working poor person who needs the benefit from the expansion of medicaid and an inmate, who breaks the law and for whom crime pays by giving them medicaid benefits attacks payer expense for life is ridiculous. but so are the economics. all you're doing, bill, is transferring burden this, was said by democrat, former senator, consent conrad who was the budget chairman for the senate. he called this a scheme. all you're doing is transferring burden from the local municipalities and states to federal government as payoff by the obama administration to get them to enroll their felons, their convicts, their inmates, their captive audience into obamacare. there paying 100% of those benefits if you do so from federal tax dollars. that is ridiculous and that unfair to every taxpayer. bill: mary anne, you're a taxpayer. >> yes i am. bill: is this a crazy idea? >> no. everyone is paying one, two, or

three times in the system now. in fact there facts are stubborn things. tax pay remembers are covering incar race and health care costs for prisoners. they're paying for medicaid. if you have health insurance and they go to emergency room or anybody else for that matter without health care you're paying for that in higher rates. that is the fundamental infairness here. what is fair to fix the problem, not demagogue it. bill: some would consider, hang on -- tony, some would consider the unfair argument here is that they can't get health care because they can't afford it but giving it to an inmate. >> unfair that the correction officer guarding that inmate has to work for 20 years and pay into a pension system to get health benefits for life. we now give it to inmates just because they qualify under new obamacare regulations. the reason i think this is important, bill, because it totally neglects the economic viability of obamacare. with obamacare, more and quantity is replaces the virtue of quality. and that is going to collapse

ultimately medicare and medicare, rather, which is a program i think we all agree, people who need to benefit need to have preserved for them. bill: medicaid is getting more and more expensive. >> mary anne's point by the way -- bill: hang on tony. >> let me remind tony, let me remind tony the supreme court approved expansion of medicaid. the way this -- >> i didn't it was illegal. it is just stupid. >> less everybody pays. what you should really want is more people working so everybody is paying something. >> they're not. bill: hang on. mary anne, you think, you think this is smart money, right? >> in the end, it is but it is going to take time to get there. we've ignored this problem for decades. it won't be fixed overnight but it will get fixed. >> health care is more efficient and cost effective when delivered locally, not by medicaid which is the worst of all options. there is harvard study, by the way, mary anne came utterlier this year, shows obamacare will increase emergency room visits because the highest rate of people who go to the emergency

room for non-emergency care are medicaid recipients and beneficiaries. making the claim it will reduce the amount of emergency care visits which is wrong. >> you know, what tone? i'm not making a claim. i'm sitting in massachusetts, where harvard is. we've had this program for years. it works the cost of health care in massachusetts is coming down. increases are slowing. and if everybody participated in the country. >> so massachusetts is like rest of america? >> all these republican governors who are saying they're tough on taxes, tough on crime but hitting their taxpayers two and three times, that is not fixing a problem. bill: i love this debate. it is really good. really important but we must debate this comment too from sunday. nancy pelosi. go. >> the congrs of the united states which members which are proud of what they have done, are happy to not run away from what we have done, very proud of what we've accomplished. bill: so you have seven months to run toward obamacare, tony. this is the principle debate, it would appear of 2014.

quick answer. >> name me one? she can't. by the way, i don't care if a house democrat in a state democrat champions obamacare. the eight very vulnerable democratic senate candidates are running far away from it because they know it's a loser. bill: mary anne, are they. >> democrats will hold the senate. 7.1 million reasons to run towards it but minimum wage, economic fairness. those issues are what really decide the 2014 election. not that. bill: thanks. appreciate it. tony? mary anne, we will talk a lot more about this. >> great to see you guys. bill: look forward to it. martha. martha: passing of a hollywood legend. we're going to take a look at the amazing life, what a story it is, of mickey rooney. bill: also a couple taking their vows and running for their lives. how in the world did this happen on wedding day? martha: bad combination. >> i was just to about to pronounce them man and wife. as i pronounced them i thought

case of the christian photographers who refused to work to a same-sex marriage in new mexico and the other is they will not take up the nsa spying phone call cases. and we have a break through in the search for flight mh370. this is being called the most most promising lead. we have heard that before. but this time it maybe the case because they have now picked up pings from the bottom of the south indian ocean they think are coming from the black box of that plane. i am martha maccallum and we are starting a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." >> and i am bill hemmer.

one of the search cordinators is warning it could take days to find the box. the time is running out. >> the life of the batteries must be getting close to the end of life. we are one day passed the advertised shelf life. we help it keeps going. >> catherine heritage is here. what are say doing to try to find these? >> they are doing a details grid search of about 3,000 miles. they are triangulated the target and the army is showing the new

equipment used to locate the pings. if the box goes dead, they will switch to a sonar search for identify what is consistent in size and shape with flight mh370 black box's. >> when the acousting beacons are no longer emitting we will switch to a sonar search for with a shorter detection range and tough processes. and whether we locate it or not with the toad pinger the area we are in will be a high area we will conduct the sonar search. >> reporter: that is the last step, but there is a willingness to do that. >> when and if they bring up the

black boxes what will that tell us? >> the black box, if you will, contains two buckets. the first is a series of the r aircraft and the mechanical status and less telling would be the cock pit voice record that records over itself over two or three hours. so it will not capture where we saw them make the turn and not know from the voice record if there was an alterication in the cock pit. >> now for that water's depth, 14, 800 feet. an idea of how far that is, the

world's tallest build ing is five and a half feet and you would need many of those and 12 empire state buildings to reach the bottom. it is a trip of about four hours. president obama pushing equal pay for women and plans to signed two executives orders to aim the gender gap between the federal workers. ed henry is live on the lawn of the white house. what will the white house announce? >> the president has federal contacters, not businesses all around the country in terms of taking executive action, but n banning contractors from dising their salaries with one another and secondly forcing federal

contractors to report more pay data so they can get a better idea what the federal contractors with paying their contractors. here is the president framing the issue: >> this opportunity means rewarding the hard work of every american. not just some americans. every americans. and that means making sure folks are paid equal for doing equal work. i do not want my daughters being paid less than somebody else's sons for doing the same job >> you heard the crowd roar there. there is an important factor and the president is doing a series of economic issues pivoting away from health care which isn't so good in the mid-term elections and with november coming up he is trying to shift the elections. >> you wonder if this is about

equal pay or the the elections and critics say there is a difference in the white house with what men and women make. >> exactly. >> how will they answer that >> they will try to push back but you are right. the numbers have been pointed out before. the president won by getting more women to turn out for him than mitt romney and that is what they will have to do in 2014. but john boehner said he has heard this before and it is getting stale. >> the president likes to focus on income inequality but i would argue his policies is driving the inequality today. >> as the president tries to pivot back from the economy and jobs it was a mixed report on the jobs.

the economic picture is still uncertain. an extreme weather alert this morning. tornado watches and flash flood warning high in the southeast today and other areas are getting pounded with rain. maria is live with the weather. where the tornado threat the hi hi highest? >> in covington county mississippi there was a tornado that touched down with power line damage and damage to several homes. now thaw are in eastern alabama, georgia and pushing into the florida panhandle. this is where we have the tornado watch until 4 p.m. eastern time. so it is ongoing.

creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

there is a massive brush fire in new jersey with crews dropping water from planes. the smoke can be seen for miles and drifting into new york city and the new york city state emergency office is alerting folks in brooklyn and staten island they may smell smoke. florida governor jeb bush says he is going to make a decision on running for president by the end of the year and it depends on two factors. >> can a candidate run with a hopeful, optimistic message, hopefully with enough detail good get people to sense it is not idle words and can one do it

joyful joyfull and without tied to the politics here and now and the other question is if it is good for my family >> brett is here. what do you think of the emergence of jeb bush? >> in previous cycles he made it clear like he wasn't going to do it. he is sounding more like a candidate and that doesn't mean he is going to run, but he is considering it more seriously than before. when you think of what he said in that interview and talking about can you run in this atmosphere and do so with being optimistic and joy he tossed out

some samples saying for one thing he is for immigration reform and that is very controversial. >> we have a snippet of that. yes, they broke the law. but it isn't a felony. it is an act of love. it is an act of commitment to your family. i honestly think that is a different crime and there should be a price paid but it shouldn't rile people up that people are coming into the country to provide for their families >> act of love is now part of the nap sack of various burdens carry. i wass on twitter and the reaction to a lot of it was negative. and also in the same interview with shannon, he spoke about his

support for common core, the educational standards, which are controversial with many of the same people, conservatives and republicans, that immigration reform is. so he is running at a center right conservative and that means it will be a battle if he decides to do it and me may not want to take it on >> and he is saying he believes those two things are components for winning. he said you have been in it to win it. that is how he thinks it can be done. >> i think he is talking about the general election and not the nomination so much. and can the republican party no nominate anyone who is conservative enough to suit the tea party which is very important to the party who could still win in november.

the tea party says you keep m nominating these moderate republicans they'll not win. he has strength and has been regarded as the post attractive and talented politician in the in the family and he has support with the hispanics which is becoming important especially to the republicans and that would go a long way toward helping them win. he was a poplar, and i think people believe, successful governor in florida >> two things. the chris christy factor and the bush name factor. >> the chris christy thing is unknown how he can recover from the bridge coverage.

the democrats have been investigating this for some time. they have not found any stink bombs but this isn't over. and the bush name factor will be less of an issue, but it is naptha to many on the right. so it is a strength in the sense people know la who the bush's are and his father's reputation is stellar compared to when he left and his brother's is recovering >> i got to watch your fi film "41 "over the weekend and it was so well done. i encourage others to watch it. >> he looks relaxed and good.

boy. watch it when you are at the white house. the ncaa men's tournament comes to a close with connecticut and uconn for it. eight seed kentucky edging seed two and that was a great second game by the way. bracket busters if you ever saw it. for the first time since the field expanded you will get a 7th seed versus an 8th seed. how is that for madness? we have jim here and saturday was rocking and i think tonight is going to be rocking. but i want to show the viewers who didn't see it saturday night. what the arena looked like in arlington. this was probably the biggest structure in america where they hold sporting events. that is what happens when it is

empty and full you get this. they are renting bunoclars for the team. how is teams grew up shooting a hoop against a wall and now you have to basketball that is in the middle of this arena and you have several hundred yards behind it. when they converted this from it a football arenue to a basketball arena, what is this like for them? >> they are in total awe. i made a point to walk in with each team and they could not believe it. at the end of the day, it is just the hoop and a basket and for kentucky all of their baskets are dunks and inside the paint except for harrison who keeps getting the three pointers. the structure will never see anything like it.

it has had 105,000 crowd and that is the biggest in super bowl history and now ncaa history. jerry jones built the place and we will never see anything like it. most sit there watching the video screen that is bigger than the basketball court >> i was there for the super bowl a couple years ago. sometimes you are confused if you watch the screen or the action in front of you. the action on the floor and everybody is making a big deal about the 7th and 8th seated teams. and the suggestion is that the seating wasn't accurate. -- seeding -- i would contend they are getting better every time they step on the floor especially in the case of kentucky where they start five freshman. how do you see the game going tonight? >> it is amazing they start five freshman and no one has done

that since 1992 but no one has won with all five freshman. this is the first time since 1966 the two teams not in, kentucky didn't make it and connecticut was on sanctions last year, so neither team was in the tournament last year. so it is beyond belief. but as far as the seeding, kentucky shouldn't have been an 8th seed. they are improving. they had problems during the season loosing to south carolina and florida in march and if you look at connecticut, they, too, had bad performances as well. it is unfair to the competitors. so they have beaten everybody in

front of them >> who wins? >> it looks like kentucky has more talent but the team that has the best doesn't also always win. >> you have the perfect scores. >> i am going to jimmy buffet's house for the million. >> the obamacare numbers were released last week and even as the white house does their victory lap, vulnerable democrats seem to be rejecting obamacare. so why the sudden chain of tune? >> and there is this: [mus [music playing] >> i can say this: i don't

think anyone in our audience has every seen a video like this before. and you are about to see a lot more of this. is gives glee a run for their money. we will talk to the student behind the end all to the be all school spirit video in a moment.

the new fallout over obamacare and some democrats are breaking with the administration over the planned cuts to medicare advantage. 20 democrats met to discuss their concerns with this. stuart von is here. sgr >> medicare advantage is a poplar program. about a third of recipients may more and get medicare advantage. under obamacare it is going to be cut. money taken out of medicare advantage and given to obamacare. tens of millions of seniors who have medicare advantage will have to pay more in the future. the higher out of pocket expenses and a narrower range of treatment options. that is toxic before the

election and that is why 22 house democrats signed asaying cuts. if the president resends cuts, there is less money for obamacare. if he makes the cuts democrats are in trouble for the election. >> you have to rob from peter to pay paul and you have to keep the customers happy. it is tough equati equation. >> a poplar program like this has risen by one third of enrollees just in the last four years and 1/3 of all medicaid enrollees go for this. if it is cut, tens of millions will be affected negatively. >> as we remember those who died in the shooting at fort hood,

questions are being raised on mental illness. michael mccaul saying that evaluations maybe especially important for our returning war veterans. >> we are good at healing broken bodies but not as good at healing broken minds. i am supporting a bill that has out there when people enlist in the military there is a physical check but not a mental health evaluation. i think this would be a good idea. >> peter king on the house homeland security committee is here. what is the answer you believe? >> there is no super bullet but this shows more mental health care is required and we have to treat it more seriously. we have come a long way but this is a reminder more has to be done. i have been involved in this issue especially for returning

guardsmen to make the care more accessible and take away the stigma with ptsd. we should engrain this in t commanders to look for signs of mental illness just like if you see a guy who is not running as well as he should. >> it is almost like you are suggesting raise the awareness level and that may not cost a penny? >> definitely that. i was in the army and the attitude is you are a tough guy, you can do it, don't give up. and you do need that in the military, but we have to be aware that people can be suffering from emotional problems and it is nothing to be ashamed of. if you do find something, you have to make sure the doctors are there to treat that person

or evaluate them. >> just about a year ago, you proposed an item on mental illness. did any of your measures go toward what we are talking about? >> it has been adopted but not implemented. that was tough to get. $10 million pilot program to bring the private sector in. having the defense department and the private sector work together. i got the idea from the owner of the new york mets. steve and i got involved and this would bring private hospitals and foundations in so they could assist the department. >> have we ripped off the military on this? >> i think when the sequester cuts are made we don't treat the mental illness component as s r

serio seriously as we should. mike mullin said this is a national resource issue. what does he mean by that? >> he means this affects the entire country. generally you feel a person is home from afghanistan or iraq and their tour of duty is over and they survivored. but not knowing many of cases their problems are just beginning. i had a person who was smart and able and but he had ptsd. and it is out there. i don't want to put stigma on there. just like a guy who was shot in the leg or arm -- >> you want to help them. mullin said it was about the availability and quality of service. >> right. whatever mental health care is required should be there and

whatever the cost is we should pay for. this is a lasting wound that should be treated >> good to see you. what is next? >> are backers of same-sex marriage showing intolerance of their own? >> and big night for country music top stars on the stage and some took home big trophies.

a

i thought he sounded great. >> that is george strait.

he is 61 and i mean entertaining of the year for a good reason. 25 years after winning that award he beat out another top store miranda lambert. listen here: >> nice show. automatic is her top hit. she won best female vocalist of the year and two other awards. there is now backlash after mozilla's ceo was forced to resign after gay rights forced him to. he gave a donation supporting the ban for gay marriage. fire fox said customers are

speaking out about him being forced to resign. leslie is here and michael graham as well. we have them here to talk to each other. welcome and good morning. leslie, this is an extrodinary situation. 2008, $1,000, since then he is a founder of this company and was going to become the ceo. since then they have exercised tolerance for all backgrounds and operate in a way most people have no objection to. what do you think about this? >> at first, as a liberal i thought that is good because they are protecting their community and consumers. and then i thought what if this

was a woman that had given money to planned parenthood? and although they have the right as a private company to do this, even though i am a liberal democrat, i wish they had not. every individual in this nation should have and be entitled to their person opinion outside of their professional life. although this contribution hurt many politically in the state i lived in i think at the end of the day it is right but i don't think it is right to force him to resign. >> in 2008, when the president ran, he was in favor of civil unions not gay marriage. so would he have been run out of town based on this philosophy as well? >> there were some in the game community that didn't vote for the president based on that and there were contributions i would

imagine held back. but at the end of the day the gay community does vote democratic because of other issues in addition. >> this looks like tolerance, but only if you agree. >> i that it was interesting you were celebrate george strait and they want him to change his name from george there is nothing with straight. and this is two things. celebrating diversity in their statement of pushing him out and then they apologized for hiring a big-promarriage guy. they announced if you are an orthdix jew or evangelical we

will not hire you. >> really? they are getting a ton of backlash. people are going to dismantle firefox from their systems. and what does tolerance mean? only if you agree with their side or does it mean we understand reasonable people can disagree? >> as a private company, who has employees, as every company does, it private lives. there is a difference between someone showing up on fox news channel and talking about prop eight and making a contribution. this man in his position stated that he would treat everyone equally and he would upheld the practices for same-sex unions for to have the benefits of men

and women who are married. i didn't feel he violated within the company. i do think many of the silicon valley type companies do live in a different world to a degree as many say we do in california. they would have never done this if they had known what the fallout would be like. >> mikchaemichael, thank you. and leslie, always a pleasure. and patty ann brown has a preview of "happening now." >> new numbers on the uninsured and the debate over obamacare, it's rollout and the effect it is having. and also, new clues in the hunt for the missing malaysian airlines flight mh370. have they found the black boxes? and oscar pistorius takes the
