separate and leaves the others alone. ralph says it's a great idea. we have awesome athletes in both genders. to see them on the court at the same time is better. great idea. and luouise says it's stupid. humans are not gender nude reut. good morning. the president claims women deserve equal pay. not just at the white house. >> you site that it's better than the national average. and when it comes to the bottom line -- >> so jay carney saying the white house women are less unequal than your women? you've got to hear this. >> we'll diagram that sentence. here he goes again. harry reid slamming the coke brothers. >> foreclosing here in the senate. we don't bear any commercial

logos. many republican senators these days -- >> maybe his granddaughter could stimthem on. but here's the catch. harry now has accepted some pretty hefty donations for the coke brothers. how juicy is that? all right. who is better at basketball? men or women? you're about to find out thanks to gender neutral basketball. men and women playing together. what's next? >> good question. >> mornings are better with friends. i think. >> it's fox & friends. >> all right. we're going to be talking about gender neutral, which is really co-ed basketball. >> i tried to build it up a little bit. it's interesting. only three men can play in one

carat. only two men the next quarter. if you steal from a girl you're bowl eligible. >> this is a professional league. people are getting paid to do this. this is crazy. >> i had the ball stolen from me all the time when i was in grade school and beamed in the head by an unknown third grader. >> you remember it. you do know the name. >> throw it out. >> it's written on the wall. >> elizabeth wants to know why you stole the ball from her. we want to know if the president of the united states checked his staff's pay scale before saying it's time for men and women to be paid on an equal basis. we'll discuss the premise to begin with. first things first, when it comes to set salaries, how does the white house staff stack up? >> later today the president of united states will be signing a couple of executive orders. really this is about obamacare. let's not talk about obamacare because that's a political loser. so let's focus on getting women

to turn out during the midterms to support our candidates. so now they're trying to draw attention to women's wages. and yesterday jay carney really earned his spinmeiste douh. they said, wait, you're all about women making the same as men, but men make 12% more than women. women make 88 cents for every dollar a guy makes at the white house, jay carney. how do you respond to that? here's his answer? >> i think those studies look at the m aggregate of everyone on staff, and that includes from the most junior levels to the most senior. what i can tell you is, we have as oon institution aggressively addressed this challenge. and obviously, though, it's better than the national average. and when it comes to the bottom line that that women who do the

same work as men have to be paid the same, there's no question that's happening here at the white house at every level. >> the standards of measure by which the white house is gathering that 88 cents on the dollar, completely different standards that they're applying to the white house and then the rest of the country. today is equal payday. but some economics professors are questioning weather we need it at all. if you take marriage, education, occupation. risk, they say the wage gap doesn't exist. they say take risks. men actually participate in higher risk jobs that tepid to pay more. 92% of those men end up losing their life sometimes in their job. and child care is one. when you leave the workplace to raise children, you take yourself out of the marketplace. you're not earning income.

but you're reentering puts you in a position where you're less valuable. remember when joe biden was at "the view." he was suggesting women take time off in order to sell balm care. thinking that life would get easier. but according to theelz standards, maybe not. this isn suggesting women just take it easy. >> this is about freedom. how many of you are single women with children in a dead-end job? you're there because of your health insurance. you would rather have the opportunity to spend the next couple years with your child, if thafls your choice, until they get to primary school. you're not trappeded in that job because if you leave you lose your health insurance. now you be able to do -- make an independent choice. >> the whob is once you try to reenter the workforce after having ten years of children.

you are then out of the game, adding to a wage gap. some women are okay. i'll take flexibility if i'm not putting in the same hours. >> these tr the bureau of labor statistics. if they take in full-time workers and factor in the other things, this is what they came up with. and in terms of danger jobs, high wire jobs. no female will end this. very dangerous job. no women. >> i actually tried to walk a tight rope with nibck, and it ws six inches off the ground. yo go earn that, buddy. >> we all walk a tight rope every day. what the professors make clear this the wall street journal today. is there's been equal pay for women for decades. so when you hear the president say, women make 77 cents for every dollar that a man makes, if they are doing the same job, they are paid the same.

and so if he's saying that, it's not true. he's trying to gin up his base to get a vote. >> there's no discrimination once you take out those factors. the hours are quite different when you read this report. >> i have a feeling they're not going to be talking about the small print at the white house today. it's women don't make as much and i'm going to fix it. >> women know better. >> harry reid keeps on bringing up the coke brother ls. it will average american doesn't know what he's talking about. you have two parties trying to vie for the same seats and he's upset that the brothers are doing everything within the law to support one party, and it's not his. however, he was once supported by the coke bthers, at least for somebody who used to work for the coke brothers. here's the senator saying it should be something republicans are forced to wear. >> nascar fans can easily find

their favorite drivers by simply looking at the cars as that fly by, because there are corporate emblems on the hood of the car. they're all over the car. before closing in the senate, we don't bear commercial logos. many republican senators may as swell well coke industrial insignias. >> then harry reid should be wearing a "a" because robert hall iii donated to his campaign. hall worked for the koch brothers, and so harry reid took koch money. i don't know. do you think it shown on the louisiana pep or like a nascar guy, great big on the back. >> maybe he forgot. >> no one listens to what he says. you can't pay attention. no one understands what he's talking about. >> unfortunately, he's one of the most powerful men in america. >> but he mumbles.

>> he's talking crazy. >> they are concerned about the zan dard and they're on the floor able to exfresz that. next time he should have an emblem on his shirt. >> from special "k" to heather. >> we're watching the oscar pistorius trial overseas. and he's back on the stand today. just moments og the former olympian testified the relationship between him and reeva steenkamp certainly had a share of troubles. he explained in a text message saying she was sometimes scared of him. he said they had an argument earlier in the day that he shot he, but they apologized and he sorted it out. >> i think maybe i was just being sensitive. maybe felt a bit insecure or jealous, and she came and

started tickling my neck. i wasn't kind to her, like i should have been. >> well, pistorius added that they were in love and that they were planning a life together. we heard his voice, but didn't see his picture right there. >> well, four people are now under arrest for tracking a detroit man who accidentally hit a 10-year-old boy with his truck. 16-year-old courtney robinson and 17-year-old bruce winbush both charged with assault with intent to murder. witnesses say only one person in the area who was a nurse stepped in to help while steve was being viciously attacked. >> she went to attend him and the beatings stopped when she went down and laid on the ground next to him, tried to comfort him to see whether she could offer any support. nobody else tried to assist, except for this brave woman. who by the way said that she also had a gun in her pocket, and if needed, she would have used it.

>> amazing, one woman can make that difference. he remains in a coma today. police say more arrests are expected. well, the uconn huskies are the 2014 ncaa champs. >> the huskies once again in basketball heaven. >> celebrating their win against kentucky. it's their second championship in four years. they were too much to handle for the young kentucky team. he finished with 22 points and named most outstanding player. final score of 60-54. with nearly 80,000 people in attendance, there was big names, bill clinton, george w. bush. laur are bua bush all in the sa. steve, you're applauding over there. i was going for the wisconsin badgers. >> i just love college basketball. my team was knocked out in the

second round. >> okay, okay. it was a bad saturday night after brian's party. >> elizabeth had all her money and the kids' college money on harvard. >> i went iowa. >> i went kansas. you saw the mvp of the game. he was in the news because everybody is talking about the move to allow a player's union to form at northwestern. f he was asked about the fact, should there be a union for college athletes. listen to his response. >> we definitely are getting scholarships at the universities. at the end of the day, that doesn't cover everything. we do have hungry nights that we don't have money for food. sometimes money is needed. we'll see where it goes.

>> yeah, i think college athletes know there's a struggle at times. >> you were one. >> i was a walk-on. i was ncaaa bracket champion, but i think there are struggles that student athletes have. dining facilities closing. the meal cards do have limits. will the union be the answer? when they put their bodies at risk? or will it separate them from students feeling tied to them like they were one of them. >> absolutely. i don't want to see a union. i want to see a structure so guys like that won't have to speak like that after the biggest names of their lives. up next, the republican secret weapon to win the white house and what rand paul has to do with it. >> and first, that may be the thing you do. attorney general eric holder has a new pet project. >> he wants to tag us? those litt things still get you.

good morning. today is tuesday, april 8. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the president set to use executive action again. this time to close the gender pay gap. perhaps the white house should mind its own gap. >> i think those studies look at the aggregate of everyone on staff and that includes from the most junior to the most senior. what i can tell you is as an institution, aggressively addressed it. >> so what's up with the double standard? we report. you decide. and does someone need to be fired in the irs targeting scandal? >> i don't care who is going to be fired. i want to know who is going to

jail. >> is lois lerner about to pay the price? hear from house speaker john boehner coming up. then the inside story about al sharpton that nobody saw coming. was he a mob snitch? what? that's new. thank you for joining us on this tuesday because mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends," number one morning cable news show in america. >> thank you, colonel david hunt, reporting for duty we are. thank you for joining us on this rainy tuesday here in new york city. >> good morning, everybody. john boehner confirmed with megyn kelly that he's actually set to have lawmakers plan to press the justice department to consider a criminal case against ex-irs official lois lerner and it seems as though being fired wouldn't even do it for him. take a look. >> i don't care who is going to

be fired. i want to know when is going to jail. the fact is that the irs, there are specific laws that protect taxpayers and force the irs to comply with the law. somebody at the irs violated the law, whether it was lois lerner or not, we'll find out. >> they balked a wide range of things, from immigration to benghazi. it was interesting that speaker boehner was forth coming in saying the myth that progressive groups were targeted is not true. >> right. if you look on-line, you can read all about it. none of them were. however action all those right-leaning organizations, tea party in the name, freedom, they all got cracked down on. lois lerner was heading up that department out in that state at the irs at the time and so it's interesting, apparently tomorrow the house ways and means committee will send this letter to the department of justice and they're going to say we think she broke the law. criminally broke the law and

violated the constitutional rights of citizens. she gave misleading information to investigators and inappropriately released taxpayer information that was private. here is the problem, so they're going to write up this letter, going to give it to eric holder. eric holder's boss has already been on the super bowl show and told bill o'reilly not even a messagen of corruption. we also heard from the department of justice that they took a look and there is nothing there. there is no there there. so for the house, which the department of justice will say those angry republican guys came up with something to make us look bad, do you think they're going to do anything about it? they should seriously investigate it. do you think they will? >> on thursday darrell issa is supposed to come on with us and he at that time will make a decision, maybe an announcement on what's gog happen with lois lerner next. >> it's hard because this has become such a prolonged process in getting the truth. it's sort of become distant as it relates to the american people out there. >> short-term memory loss. >> this is citizens' money where it's going and is the government

actually -- did they, as released here, did they release your information inappropriately? was it being used against citizens for political purposes? that's what the speaker wants to get to the bottom of and certainly i want someone to pay the price for misusing american citizens' money if, in fact, that's the snakes if they broke the law, should be should be held responsible. >> if you were around new york in the 1980s and saw al sharpton walking around with a suitcase, you might be witnessing a man that turned informant fort f.b.i it turns out al sharpton, pictured there, back then dramatically heavier and almost a different person, evidently they caught him if a situation where -- in a situation where he was forced to either go to jail, face charges, or flip and start working for the f.b.i., use his connections with the underworld to unearth some connections for the f.b.i. >> yeah. apparently the f.b.i. caught him -- he was involved with some drug kingpins and it was a big coke deal and they caught him

and they said, al, you're going to be in big trouble unless you help us. so start recording these people. apparently, according to the smoking gun, he taped mobsters with that briefcase. he helped the authorities bring down members of the genovese crime family. he said yeah, but they never told me i was part of a mob informant. here he is. >> they came in 1982, '83, after don king and tried to entrap me in a drug deal that didn't work. then seven months later when i was threatened by members of the mob because i was saying that a lot of concerts should be going to black artists and i went after them and i was threatened, i called these f.b.i. guys back, since some of the guys were from california and said these are the kind of things they ought to be investigating. >> right. so he's saying they should

investigate the boss trying to squeeze black concert promoters and saying the relationship went no further than that, but an attempt to discredit him. >> did it for three years, ci 7. >> yeah. apparently they worked him until he became tawana brawly worker. al sharpton, to the best of my knowledge, her advisor, never apologized to those men whose lives they destroyed. >> i'm not sure he's got a show on. maybe he'll apologize at some point. >> that's a good pointful nobody watches that show. >> i'm not sure. heather nauert, we watch her. >> we sure do. you can't make this stuff up. >> you can't. nobody would believe it. al sharpton a mob snitch? come on. >> we're watching some stuff in washington. once again, president obama bypassing congress and now using

executive order to get his own way once again. today the president will sign two executive orders aimed at giving equal pay to men and women for federal contractors. the first order will prevent employers prosecute retaliating against workers who talk about their pay with one another and the second one would require contractors to disclose payment data. female staffers at the white house make 88 cents per every dollar to their male counterparts. what does the white house have to say about this? listen to this. >> though, that the 88 cents that you cite that, is not 100, but it's better than the national average. >> there you go. also overseas moments ago, the oscar pistorius murder trial breaking for lunch and the reason the bladerunner couldn't compose himself on the stand as he gave a minute by minute account of the night that he shot reeva steenkamp.

>> somebody, the entrance to the passage was being forced, they could be there at any moment. and the first thing that ran through my mind was i need to do arm myself, that i needed to protect reeva and i and i need to do get my gun. >> pistorius claim that he shot her thinking that she was an intruder. this is day two of the defense. police just arresting two more people for attacking a man in detroit who accidentally hit a ten yearly boy with his truck. the two suspects arrested, 24 and 30 years old, the others are just two and 16 years old. the victim, steven, you can see him here, he's white. his attackers, african-american. and now some people are asking if the attack was racially motivated. >> there were 100 to 150 people around here, keep in mind. others were shouting, what's the

white guy, get the white guy. that may be a means of identifying him. but the issue of race came up in that way. >> he remains in a coma this morning. police say that more arrests are expected. we'll keep you posted on that. the u-conn huskies are the ncaa champs, of course. >> u-conn championship, the huskies once again are in basketball heaven! >> look at all those people celebrating the huskies celebrating. it's their second championship in four years. u-conn too much to handle fort kentucky team. they finished with 22 teams and most outstanding player of the huskies take the title 60-54. with nearly 80,000 people in attendsance, there will be some famous folks. do you recognize that guy? that was bill clinton sitting beside george w. bush and laura

bush. they were all there celebrating. >> a good game. a big night in the metroplex >> i'm still upset. >> a lot of broken hearts. >> thank you. if you watched the game, you could see that kentucky was lucky to be in in the first half and in the second half, they made a run and ended up being a fantastic finish. then you look at what u-conn has gone through to get there, almost nobody has said they were going to get there to the final four, let alone the final and let alone win it. it brings to the forefront this question: if you look at the fact that very few of these players are either going to go pro, is it time for these players have some type of union or pay so they got to cash in while everyone else is cashing in around them. the school cashed in, the audience. ncaa cashed in. we know about that landmark decision that allowed -- northwestern former student that allows them to unionize. of course, this will be appealed and appealed and appealed. but should the players get paid,

and should they unionize before any deal is cut? >> the sean no, according to the president of the ncaa, mark emmer. he said it's a bad idea to address challenges that don't exist. he said, quote, it would blow up everything about the collegiate model of athletics. >> it probably would. >> right. so he's gone off and napier is going defense on the idea that it might actually help the kids u. take a listen. >> with scholarships at universities, at the end of the day, that doesn't cover everything. we do have hungry nights that we don't have enough money to get food and sometimes needing money -- money is needed. >> just wrong for them to have to go to bed hungry at night 'cause they don't have enough money 'cause when you're an athlete, you don't eat just three meals a day. my daughter was at boston college on the team, she ate like four or five meals a day. she ran out of meal tickets. >> you're giving a lot to the

university, the universities are making a ton of publicity and cash on them. and perhaps a little help and backing, even as they move forward out of college in terms of their injuries, might be helpful. we asked you what you thought. e-mail from greg in pennsylvania says this, i understand schools are making a lot of money from their sports, but $100,000 education isn't good enough? if they wanted them to get paid, that's fine. but then they should be responsible for their college costs as well. either it's a free ride or not. interesting point. >> tweet from philip says, unions for college sports, the fallout will be the demise of college sports at the small institutions. the minute you give it to union, they're going to give the max to the players, which is fine, but not the best for the sport. he needs to cut a deal that's equitable, but leave the ncaa in charge. if there should be a stipend? if you come from a low income environment, there is no mom, send me a meal card or send me money. they have nothing to go fall back on of the that's why a lot

of these guys go to bed hungry. >> you'll see the goodness of students out there who will pool their meal cards to help students who need that. that's private students doing what they can to help the students out. >> a meal ticket is $300, they can't afford to get a late night snack. >> what do you think? e-mail us, facebook or tweet us. nancy pelosi says dick cheney is to blame for the interrogation tactics. is this a chance for them to blame the bush-cheney ticket? >> the new secret weapon faster than the speed of sound. the incredible breakthrough just ahead. >> what is that thing? cool. ♪ ♪ co: sometimes you don'

top democrat and former speaker of the house nancy pelosi placing the blame squarely on vice president dick cheney for the c.i.a.'s practice of enhanced interrogation techniques. listen. >> i do believe that during the bush-cheney administration, the vice president cheney set a tone and an attitude for the c.i.a. i think he's proud of it. i think he's proud of it. >> we're about to find out. here to react is the daughter of former vice president dick cheney, liz cheney. liz, is your dad proud of it and did he set a tone? >> hey, brian. thank you for having me on. listen, my dad has been and remains a steadfast supporter of the enhanced interrogation program, a program that saved lives and prevented attacks after 9-11. you had yesterday on the show, jose rodriguez, somebody who

oversaw that program. you know, and frankly, mrs. pelosi is somebody who was briefed on the program. she forgot she was briefed on the program. later to admit it. and i have to say that when i heard those comments yesterday, i was reminded of something that margaret thatcher once said about one of her political opponents. mrs. pelosi's problems is her sign doesn't reach her brain. we have those doing everything in favor of protecting the nation after 9-11. now seem to be really not interested in looking at the facts, but really just looking for a way, frankly, to cast blame and say things that aren't true about those brave men and women. >> they haven't met any al-qaeda operatives and the guys they stared in the eyes went to the justice department and pitched what he'd like to do and got the okay from everybody before he went ahead and did it. meanwhile, senator king,ç he calls himself independent, he

caucuses with the democrats. he had this to say about vice president cheney. he was very upset that former vice president cheney was pleased that they did water boarding. >> frankly, i was stunned to hear that quote from vice president cheney just now. if he doesn't think that was torture, i would invite him anywhere in the united states to sit in a waterboard and go through what those people went through. one of them 100-plus odd times. that's ridiculous to make that claim. this was torture by anybody's definition. >> your reaction? >> senator king is just wrong. the person he's referring to who went through that 100-plus times is khalid shaikh mohammed. he was waterboarded 183 times. he was waterboarded because the c.i.a. believed that he and the other two had -- had is a

quote -- they believed that they had perishable information about imminent attacks on the united states of america. and the decision was made, it was absolutely the right decision and certainly i hope that future presidents would make the decision again that you've got to waterboard somebody because it means that you're going to get information to save lives and prevent attacks. if the choice is you've got to waterboard someone like khalid shaikh mohammed who was responsible fort deaths of 3,000 americans, you've got to do that in order to prevent further deaths and further attacks, which by the way, we know it did, or you're going to let americans die. somebody like senator king, somebody like mrs. pelosi, they've got to be willing to accept the consequences of their argument, which is to say which attacks would you have let happen or which americans would you have let die? >> if they were relatives in the line of fire, let's see how they would feel. liz cheney, thanks so much. >> thanks for being with you,

curtains. when i go out there and yelled at god, you don't brag about it and i was in that room alone and i had no earthly explanation for what he said to me. >> i see tears welling up. >> it's hard. >> it is hard. you come out having your baby there at four, telling you that he was in heaven, which means he wasn't here on earth. >> no, he wasn't. >> but did you believe him? i mean, did you even want to go there? did you try to say no, buddy, that's not real? >> i think we were so tired and emotionally drained in the hospital it was hard to listen to him. when he said he sat on jesus' lap and the angels sang to him is when we woke up. >> there was something else, colton, what did you see that made your parents really think that you were there? you saw two people. >> i saw my great grandpa, pop, and my miscarriaged sister. >> did you know that you had a sister?

>> no. i didn't know that i had another sister besides cassie. >> so this sister that you're speaking of, you guys never brought it up to him, he was four years old. >> exactly. >> what was your reaction when colton said that? >> we were taken aback. we thought we had gotten over the hurt of losing a baby and how do you tell a kid that a baby died in your tummy? so for him to say he saw her, as a mom, you want to take care of your kids and we knew she was okay and in the best place possible to be taken care of. >> colton, do you feel a great responsibility? 'cause i know you still work to talk to kids that this happens. what do you want people to know about this film? what's your message? >> well, for this film, god really does love you and he does want you to be in heaven with him. >> how do you know? >> because i've been there. i've experienced how he feels towards us. but the problem is, we're too attached to things on this world and because we're attached to

that thing, we can't go to heaven. >> so that's a moment you had. the amazing thing you're saying, do you feel the same way and have you had times in the ten years -- you're 14 now, freshman? >> yes. >> have you had times you didn't believe that anymore? >> no. i believe it and all i want to do is be able to share it with people and help them through their difficulties as well. >> do you live your life wanting to go back to heaven? >> oh, yes. heaven is such an amazing place that i never wanted to leave. >> that had to be a strange thing to hear, hard thing to hear as a parent. >> it just tells you how good it is. it's not that he said he didn't love us. but i was at a funeral once and i made the comment, i don't want anybody to pray me back. if i go to heaven and my nine-year-old at the time was standing back there at the time with his arms crossed and he said, you did that to me, dad. and i was like, yeah.

fiction. i was born with a birth defect. i don't have a right ear. didn't have one. deaf on that side. i came from a rather dysfunctional family and i think that the more we can connect ourselves with the public, the more they realize that we're not that different. so maybe the word inspirational is what comes up with the book. >> that is what i had heard. what's interesting, sex and drugs and rock'n'roll, it's all in there, as you would expect. but just the fact that you're such a big star and you have struggled like so many of the rest of us, that gives people, you know, that inspiration you're talking about. >> yeah. i think it's important for people to realize that the people that they look up to aren't very different than they are. everybody who read the book seems to -- regardless of whether they liked kiss or not, you find a certain commonnallity. i think that's terrific. i wrote a book for my children 'cause as they get older, i want thome realize what i went through. >> all of this stuff? >> it's really not tawdry. there is nothing gratuitous in

there. i paint a picture. but enough is left out. >> what about working through relationship issues? so gene simmons, arguments with bad members, back and forth. those are things that kids have to learn as they go through life. what's your message coming out of this book to them? >> i think you have to be pragmatic and you have to weigh your ultimate goal against your obstacles. obviously dealing with people means he that you have to say what is my end goal here and what do i need to do to get there? sometimes it means putting up with something less than perfection. >> you believe gene simmons takes way too much credit. uses the word i way too often and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. sort of aggravates you, right? >> sometimes. sometimes. for a guy with a very extensive vocabulary, he limits himself to i a whole lot. and very often i would find myself going, gene, i was there and not only that, i was the motivating force. but we've been together over 40

years. that speaks volumes. >> you're going to the hall of fame. you thrilled? >> i think i'm as thrilled as they are. they've inducted us very grudgingly because they really don't want us there. their credibility seems to be at stake. so after 14 years of being eligible, they're taking us in. but they're only taking the original four members and it's kind of because it's a bitter pill for them to swallow. so they're making it as small as possible. >> explain the par about the news story. i think it was gene simmons who said there are two members of kiss who are not fit to wear the grease paints. >> i think that's great sound bite. i don't think that any -- >> who is he talking about? >> peter chris and ace frailly. >> why? >> well, it's not enough to wear the make-up. you're an imposter if your heart isn't in it. and when you compromise the band -- the band has been together 40 years at this point. and the only constants have been gene and i. so to go up on stage and wear that uniform would misrepresent

the band because to the public, it's not a matter who have is behind the make-up, it's those images. >> it's going to be a big hit. it's going to rocket up the charts. congratulations on your career on what you overcame and what's still ahead. >> all terrific. thank you so much. >> nice meeting you. >> pleasure. >> straight ahead. >> coming up, if you're in the market for a new suv, you're going to want to hear this. nearly every single one of them failed a crash test. >> fantastic. then, the idea is creating a whole lot of controversy. should we make people who don't have children pay higher taxes? stuart varney is shaking his head. >> a kissoff! ♪ ♪ across america, people are taking charge of

i'm from connecticut, so, yeah, i'm really happy. >> that's good. >> really happy, guys. >> and a little tired. it was on late. >> it was. i was at the game on saturday in dallas and that was crazy. totally insane. but i had to come home, couldn't stay for the last game. but let me tell you, it is party time in connecticut all through the state today. so we're in a good mood. >> it sure is. what do you think of all this gender gap talk and equal payday today? what's your take on that? >> well, this is the time of year for lots of myths. we have the easter bunny and peeps. i know brian likes the pink peeps. >> that's a myth. >> that's very odd. >> i like the yellow. >> you like the hollow bunny, steve. i like the solid bunny. but these are all myths. then the equal payday, it makes the left feel like they're accomplishing something. but as a great piece in the

"wall street journal" today by mark perry points out, that this supposed wage gap, the 81% bureau of labor statistics wage gap does not account for risk factors in jobs taken, does not account for educational focus, where if you go to college, what you focused on. it doesn't account fort number of hours worked per week, nor does it account for the number of months or years continuously worked. so when you factor in all of those very relevant levels of consideration, the wage gap essentially disappears. it goes down to virtually 5, 6%. so that's the real truth. but again, this is the way the left keeps the drum beat going and i say it's a four d's. deflect, divide, demean and distract. we're distracting from really bad and lousy job creation for the obama administration. it's not surprising. this is what they always do. it's just a total myth.

>> delightful the way you broke it down into all those d's. so the president today is going to sign a couple of executive orders. he's going to bypass congress because he's trying to turn this wage disparity into a campaign issue. >> of course. >> but like you just said, it doesn't exist. when men and women do exactly the same job, however, when they look at the statistics at the white house, it turns out women are only getting paid 88 cents on the dollar for every dollar that a man makes. jay carney was asked about this disparity with a d yesterday and he had this to say. >> what i can tell you is that as an institution here, aggressively addressed this challenge and obviously, though, at the 88 cents that you cite that, is not 100, but it is better than the national average. >> it's all for political purposes. and to take our eyes off of obamacare. >> yeah. i think we should print up

t-shirts, 88 is not 100. that is the great wisdom coming out of the white house today. we're going to talk about harry reid in moment with the koch brothers. it's the same thing. the finger is always pointed back at them. they're wagging their finger, but it's like buddha said, the finger is always pointed back at you. this is is what they're doing at the white house. what obama wants to do, the president wants to make it easier for employees to sue employers. that's great. that's exactly what we need at a time when we're not creating good-paying jobs for women, men, people of all ethnicities and races. we need good-paying job, we need keystone pipeline. we need common sense taxation, which doesn't burden people, especially women who are heads of households. that's the kinds of stuff we need for women. workplace.nsense more lawsuits >> harry reid is almost like

wildcatting. mitt romney doesn't pay tax. everyone know the war is lost. the latest one is the koch brothers. every time he's on the senate floor he's talking about them and how the koch brothers should be tapeled to everything that every republican wears because they're supplying the whole republican party. however, upon further review, it turns out that robert hall, who worked for the koch brother, was somebody who gave to harry reid's campaign. how does that make him feel this morning? >> well, again, this is the typical problem the democrats run into. they start demonizing individual citizens from the well of the senate, which i haven't seen before, a sitting senator take after two men who have done an enormous amount for the free market -- they are merely expressing their views in the political system. this is what george soros does. this is what steven spielberg does. this is what david geffen does. they spend an enormous amount of money in politics.

they're not demonized. but these two individuals by the floor of the senate by a man who has his own connections to the subsidiary of the koch brothers! harry reid should be called out on this by every republican and everyone of good conscience in the u.s. senate. i find what he's doing on this to be frankly dangerous, disturbing. but it's typical harry. he doesn't have a record to talk about. so he demeans and tries to divide by going after two men who have not violated laws, who are businessmen trying to actually create opportunity for people in this country. i find it disgusting. >> i can tell. >> yeah. harry reid, you know, back to the old male bull. >> we know you got to get ready for your radio show. >> i think she's ready. >> yeah, she is. >> we'll see you back here next week. >> sorry, kentucky. we like you, but sorry. >> indeed. steny hoyer from maryland, democrat, will be on the program in a moment. i think you're going to ask him about harry reid. >> i think i am.

facing out or when the towels hang in the bathroom are uneven. gosh, i hope i'm not nuts. what do you think? >> well, unfortunately, a little nuts. but not bad nuts. when you can't stand -- >> a little ocd? >> it could be a little obsessive personality trait, or ocd. here is my concern, if you can't stand a label turned the wrong way, there are other loose endsç in life you won't be able to stand, like passion, like people being themselves, like your dreams, which are unwieldy. what do you do? you turn a couple of those cans the wrong way and you learn how to deal with it and you head to my office. or bring me to the house and i'll turn them all around. >> finally, i am 45 years old and still sleep with the same teddy bear i had since i was a child. okay. >> okay. you should definitely replace the -- just kidding. it's nutty, right? why can are you attached to that? why? always ask why. what was happening when you were

got quick headlines for you. building in new york city that once housed the controversial ground zero mosque will soon be reduced to rubble. building's owner filed an application to tear the thing down. the prayer center came under fire from many who objected to a mosque being located only two blocks from ground zero. he was bored and had a lighter. now two police officers are fighting for their lives. this is 16-year-old marcel, the smiling teen-ager accused of lighting a fire in a brooklyn, new york building that trapped the cops, leaving them in critical condition. that's the news.

i don't care who is going to be fired, i want to know who is going to jail. the fact is that the irs, there are specific laws that protect taxpayers and force the irs to comply with the law. somebody at the irs violated the law, whether it was lois lerner or not, we'll finds out. >> well, that's where john boehner stands on irs scandal here. do democrats agree? i'm joined by the house minority whip, democrat steny hoyer. congressman, thanks for being with fox today. what's your reaction there to speaker boehner's comments that they're looking for something even more than someone to be fired. they think jail time, asking for criminal action should be looked at. >> look, let me say this, clearly nobody wants to see people targeted by the irs on their taxes. however, this is really turning into a witch hunt. frankly to serve the base of the

republican party. the evidence appears to say that things that were done that were not correct, not -- they were wrong, that tried to simplify the way they culled out returns for review. on both sides, liberals and conservative. so the fact of the matter is, we need to get to the bottom of that, but this constant effort to criminalize behavior just is a republican pattern seen in previous administrations. >> if i may, sir, it seems peculiar, though, that lois lerner did take the fifth and then went back to doing that again preserving her right there to not share information. so how do we know that there is not criminal action if we haven't been privy or been given any information? isn't that what speaker boehner is asking for, the information to get to the bottom of what could be affecting, yes, conservatives now, but even liberals in the future if this sort of practice occurs in

government? >> if we take the activity that ailed should not have occurred. secondly, however, when you say no information, there is literally thousands of pages of information that have been given to the committee about this issue. so there has been very extensive investigation. frankly, i think that miss learner's attorney, out of an abundance of caution because the republicans have been talking about criminal activity as opposed to trying to finds out exactly what happened, he advised her not to testify. she has that constitutional right. obviously a lot of people say read the constitution. know what the constitution means. understand the constitution gives you protections against big government, which is what a lot of people said. she's availing herself of that constitutional protection. now, we ought to get to the bottom of it. the committee has spent a lot of time doing just that. >> the committee, according to many, took too long to really get moving here, but in terms of taking the fifth, sure, it's a

constitutional right, but aren't those elected officials, including yourself, aren't y'all responsible for just getting to the bottom of this for the american people so they don't feel targeted whether they're republicans or democrats so their money is good so and they're not targeted when it comes to their beliefs? aren't we trying to get to the truth here? >> the answer to that is yes. do you want to talk about some of the really important things that are confronting our country? >> i do. let's get there because maryland right now has certainly had its share of difficulty when is it comes to obamacare, over 73,000 plans were actually canceled. i do know in fairness, 60,000 have signed up there. many on the medicaid end of it. what's the plan to make this work? i know you're trying to model things after connecticut's exchange, correct? >> we want the exchanges to work. the reason we want the exchanges to work is because the access to affordable quality health care is something the american people need, want and have been advantaged by over the last few years with the affordable care

act protection, notwithstanding a preexisting condition, making sure that preventive care is not an extra charge to encourage people for getting preventive care. seniors are paying less for their prescription drugs as a result of the affordable care act. people aren't having their policies canceled because they get too sick. all of those facets of the affordable care act are working and have benefited literally millions and millions of americans. young people on their family's policy before age 26. so millions of people have been advantaged and 7.1 million people have signed up, beating the targets set. >> 7 million sign up there, sir, you know, that is also -- it doesn't account for those who lost plans. 73,000 in your state. this is going to shock you, that we can actually agree on something, we have to agree on harry reid here. when he went on the rant with the koch brothers saying it was

unamerican for them to get involved here and those that have taken money from them just sort of ripping the heart out of americans. rant, yet we find out he accepted donations from the dock brothers. is this hi pock brise? can we agree there? >> i don't know enough about that to agree or disagree. let me say the koch brothers have made themselves a center of political attention by contributing millions and millions and millions of dollars over the last four years, hundreds of millions of dollars, in fact, to press their political agenda. so clearly they were going to be an object of attention. so we would hope that they're not trying to buy the government. they're trying to put forward their ideas, but the fact of the matter is, they made themselves a center of attention, obviously. >> certainly harry reid has given them center stage at times and help down on the list of 50 of contributions in terms of

politicians and donations there. let's talk paul ryan and his budget. soy know you're asking -- i know you're asking that the cbo take a good look and how his budget will affect those that are vulnerable. so the question is, what's your beef with the paul ryan budget? >> paul ryan budget is a disaster. it's a retreat. it disinvests in america and america's future. it disinvests in growing jobs and creating opportunities for people. it is a budget that is more of the same. in fact, hal rogers, the republican chairman of the prongses committee, said last year that the budget was ill-conceived and unworkable and unrealistic. he can add to that it's unchanged. the budget that was adopted or was presented last year and was adopted by the house but never implemented by the republicans, never implemented, is a budget which changes medicare, which undermines medicaid, and nutritional programs for people.

it disinvests in basic research. it disinvests in infrastructure and education, all which have are necessary to grow our economy and create the kind of jobs that we need. so it is a bad budget. i don't think it reflects the priorities of the american people and i think the american people are going to reject it as the congress -- had is important -- the congress rejected almost the same budget last year. the republicans and the house of representatives never -- i want to underline that -- never offered appropriation bills consistents with their budget that they adopted so that it's unfortunate that we're now seeing just a replay of last year's failure. >> paul ryan stated here that he's looking to cut 5.1 trillion, medicaid and make it safe for those who need that program to have sustainability there. >> no, no. >> i'd love to have the two of you together 'cause he believes that the program that is now -- >> elisabeth, he cuts medicaid

deeply. that's health care for poor people. he cuts it almost three either either -- quarters of a trillion dollars. he cuts food for poor people, children who need nutrition, he cuts that by over $100 billion. elisabeth, i'd be glad to debate paul ryan. this is an unrealistic. >> let's do it right here. let's make a date then. let's make a date. we'll have the two of you here and i'd love to have you both go back and forth with those cbo findings and how it actually does affect those that you mentioned there. we love the discussion here. come with us again. i'm going to get the ryan plan up and run it on a board and then we will discuss. congressman, thank you very much. >> we'll discuss how it replaces medicare with a premium support program and under mines seniors' medicaid. we'll be glad to discuss all those issues. thank you very much. >> we'll hear something else out of his and i'll sit in the middle and make you friends.
