tattoo. look at cover of next month's "rolling stone." it's julia louis-dreyfus with john hancock's signature. he signed the declaration of independence and not the constitution. they say it's on the other side of her body but couldn't fit in the signatures. those are your headlines. that kills me, he's the guardian of history here. >> he sure is. he's right there. >> see you later. >> two blocks from the archives right now. thank you very much. in the news yesterday, republicans at the house ways and means committee, they had a party-line vote. voted to send a criminal referral to eric holder regarding lois learner. she broke laws two times. if they don't follow up and do the right thing and investigate, then the house could actually hold hold her in contempt of congress
3:06 am
and jail her. >> and if the attorney general refuses to act on the panel's accusations, john boehner said if she's refusing to testify, she's invoked the fifth, they will hold her in contempt. the vote is today on the resolution. they said we have tools here. we should have let people stay silent when it comes to getting to the bottom of the truth. why are we not digging in the tool box to get there? >> the problem is whatever remedies or tools that we have at our disposal for ensuring compliance we won't use. we won't make them sit there until a document is produced, and john kerry sit there until we get what we want from benghazi. we have the tools, we won't use them. as a former prosecutor, that's frustrating.
3:07 am
>> i know you want it, and is is leadership? >> if speaker boehner were here, he has to weigh and balance a lot of factors that a back bencher doesn't have to weigh and balance. i think that's what he would tell you. >> brian. >> yeah, well, he's talking about having the ability to arrest her for not come plying with the requests. but i saw that congressman tom price who's also a doctor says it's premature to talk about arresting her. it would be sensational. but upon further review, remember in 2007 when a similar thing was brought up about congress using their power and possibly making an arrest when george w. bush was president, it was the new york times pushing for the arrest. but now that's over the top. weighs and means are involved, and oversight not throwing up their hands but feeling fed up. >> and with speaker boehner there, the frustration is
3:08 am
rising. twice invoked the fifth, and the truth is being sought. the frustration lies in the fact that eric holder, the attorney general, is not asking her to testify. should the vote be forward, she could be in contempt until the next congress is seated. >> she could be jailed and they could do it again. documents released showed that lois learner was busy. by e-mail she mentioned she wanted a job with obama's campaign team. look right here. this is between lois learner and a colleague. oh, maybe i can get the d.c. job. sharon wrote back, retirement talk? kind of funny. there was one thing where it shows she actively corresponded with liberal groups. why haven't you looked at cross roads gps, karl rove's group? and she's on with the dallas irs office saying why haven't we
3:09 am
audited them yet? then someone in cincinnati is drafting memos. we have to come up with a good denial later. they hadn't even talked deny iing it, and it was prompt by the lefty groups she met, why aren't you cracking down on karl rove's group? >> and the e-mail chain. she mentions suggesting, quote, maybe get the d.c. job, make she was joking. certainly not a joking matter when it comes to the american people and the truth here and why certain groups were denied status or delayed in the investigation there. they're going to look forward and see what is to come with this e-mail chain. >> right. and i think it's pretty significant that they're talking about an e-mail chain and getting a job with an organization which is essentially barack obama's election arm that pushes his issues forward.
3:10 am
>> right. >> is it a joke? tongue in cheek? yes. but look at the trends, this is another reason to investigate. moving on to daryl issa. you mesh the battle with cummings, issa is the chairman. elijah cummings interacted with lois learner that's got everyone else jealous. she takes the fifth in front of the committee, but not with him. he talked about with her the targeting the irs groups, of texas non-profits called true the vote and put them on the radar for the irs. cummings has denied that in the past. but now you have an e-mail chain confirming that. he has a lot of explaining to do. >> he does. the irs -- there's e-mail that shows that his staff was communicating with the irs. why haven't you cracked down on that? you said the texas group called true the vote. and congress has written letters to cummings saying why did you
3:11 am
hide that? he doesn't look so good. and remember, keep in mind, bill o'reilly pried this from the president of the united states. there was no trouble at the irs. >> you're saying no corruption, none? >> there was some bone-headed decisions. >> not mass corruption? >> not mass corruption. not even a smidgen. >> what about a smidgen of stone walling? the white house is stone walling left and right. we haven't heard. . congress has to act, unless congress acts, the white house and the department of justice won't. people won't know what happened at the irs. >> there are checks and balances they're looking to install in this process. and certainly we're going to be asking bill o'reilly, he's on his way over here today to discuss that and much more. i'm sure he will have some comments about that. >> yes. just amazing that the president
3:12 am
said a smidgen of corruption, that the person takes the fifth. we'll move ahead. we'll discuss that with a guy who's really tall. i'm jealous he's in my shot. we have a huge show today. >> did you hear from charles krauthammer said last night? he said the administration won on benghazi. what does mike rogers think about that? he sits down with brian next. >> and the interesting twist against the guy who led the charge against the ceo of mozilla. you won't believe what we just found out. ♪ when fixed income experts... ♪ ...work with equity experts... who work with regional experts... that's when expertise happens. mfs. because there is no expertise without collaboration.

3:16 am
>> we will never stop demanding answers. >> some of the democrats say why are we continuing to investigate. we have held no one accountable. >> unbelievable. 15 minutes after the top of the hour, republican new makers renewing calls for a select group on benghazi. mccain, graham, ayotte, gowdy, challenging the fbi director mike morrell. and joining us is mike rogers, chairman of the house select intelligence committee. do you think that would work? >> the last investigation in the senate cost $44 million. that was the detention report. 44 million. i'm not sure that they would rehash what we have done in the intel committee. we have done 4,000 pages of document review.
3:17 am
interviewed everybody in the intelligence lane on the ground. now the next step has to be the coordination between intelligence, house foreign affairs and defense. that working group is together. >> chairman, get people to talk, and knowing they could be looking at jail. >> all those committee chairman have subpoena power. the most important part of this investigation was to clear up, where was the intelligence, did they know something different? the most compelling piece of the morrell system was that he said in fact he told the white house there was another report, that in fact it was not a demonstration. and they continued to hold that narrative. so we've gotten to the steps of the white house. and i think now we need to coordinate that investigation. >> a lot of people -- i watched mike brown's testimony. it was contradictory. first he blamed the fbi, a group he worked with. didn't say anything when james clapper asked who changed the talking points. and now he's in business with
3:18 am
the chairman, like it or not, the person most important to hillary clinton, and even your chief of staff, mike allen is going to be going over there. here's what lindsey graham said yesterday. >> there's a conflict of interest that's staring us all in the face. the lead investigator for the republican republican house intel committee is now in business with mike morrell. the lead investigator of the house republican intelligence committee is in business with hillary clinton's gate keeper. i think this justifies a new process and a new look. >> he seems to be saying because allen's associated with you that maybe you shouldn't be leading. >> first of all, he was not the lead investigator. the lead investigator my deputy. and, listen, the investigation and the facts are what they are. we had already done the 4,000-page document review. it was the intelligence
3:19 am
committee that put out the first interim report that said it's wrong. i said on fox news that the narrative was wrong. a, he wasn't the lead investigator, number one. b, the company didn't even exist at the time of the investigation. >> did you have a problem with mike morrell's testimony and his linkage now with hillary clinton. when he changed makes her state department look better, protect him from what the cia discovered and warninged? >> we had the intelligence. the first few days indicated there was no demonstration that led to the event. including the cia official on the ground. that was all done through the house investigation committee. now you have this problem where we believe that the political narrative was made in the white house. i think that the focus on this is in the wrong place. someone in the state department did not, in fact, meet the
3:20 am
security demands of the temporary mission facility. somebody -- and there's nobody that's been held accountable in the state department. that to me is the big missing link in this investigation and that needs to be pursued. >> chairman mike rogers, heading to the radio, tv world soon. it will be a big loss on capitol hill. >> thank you. and look at this, a lot more than drugs in this car. those are people in that trunk. believe it or not. and see this picture? that's steve with president reagan. our pictures on throwback thursday. we want to see yours. e-mail us now. we look through them and put them forward and embarrass you. ♪ before larry instantly

leave me alone. ps, i invoke my fifth amendment to remain silent. some say if you say anything beyond invoking the right to remain silent, you've waived it. you can't pick and choose what questions to answer and not. some cases say, oh, a simple little general bland denial like that is not a waiver of the privilege. >> right. what about -- later today they're going to vote on whether to find her in contempt of congress. >> that is essentially meaningless. they have held eric holder in contempt of congress. >> he still has his job. >> for contempt of congress to have teeth, the contempt citation has to be sent to the justice department to prosecute the person being held in contempt. they're not going to prosecute their boss, and not this lady who worked in the administration. >> and the criminal case, doj, they sent the complaint
3:48 am
yesterday. you answered the question. eric holder is not going to do it. you have an interesting take on a couple of things. first of all, should she be given immunity to spill the beans? >> the interesting thing about immunity, she can be given immunity against her will. the whole house of representatives votes she can never be prosecuted. the federal judge agrees, and signs the immunity order and it says thousand shalt testify. if she violates that order, the federal judge will incarcerate her for it, don't need the doj. >> we need her to talk. >> i hope congressman issa is listening. we need to know what abuses the irs visited upon us and what political motivation they had and what higher up knew about this. >> and one more, they sent the criminal complaint over to the department of justice with eric holder.
3:49 am
you said he should be impeached. >> i watched the back of congressman gohmert, we have conferred a lot and are friends, i thought holder's behavior was so con temp chewous of what the attorney general should. impeach him. he's not enforcing the laws. force the president of the united states to have a new attorney general. all that can be done against his wishes. >> and the odds of that happening? >> very slim. >> very slim in an election year, steve. >> no kidding. thank you very much. he's down in washington, d.c. >> i'm on my way down there. >> he's bothering our elected officials as you will later today. meanwhile, straight ahead, the fireworks from the exchange on capitol hill still smoldering. >> so i don't need lectures from you about contempt. >> and i don't need lectures either. >> judge, that's what you're talking about right there. now eric holder is apparently playing the race card. and they are the most expensive

4:06 am
last night on the record. brian, you know this too well. we talk about it because the american people deserve to know what happened, why are americans' lives were taken and why haven't we been given the information? and truly, why isn't the investigation moving forward and why some democrats are calling this a witch hunt. >> here is senator graham with greta. >> there is a conflict of interest that's staring us all in the face. the lead investigator for the republican house intel committee is now in business with mike morell. the lead investigator of the house republican intelligence committee is also in business with hillary clinton's gatekeeper. i think this justifies a new process and a new look. >> okay. so there you've got the senator talking about mike allen, who used to work for mike rogers. we got a graphic that shows what's going on. first of all, mike allen, who used to work for mr. rogers, is screen right. he was his chief of staff. he was also the lead
4:07 am
investigator on the benghazi stuff for a while. mike morell used to be the deputy director of the c.i.a. he's in the middle. he gave testimony last week that was favorable to, among other people, hillary clinton, who by the way, screen left, is pretty much the gate keeper for her. they all work together now in a place called beacon global strategies. isn't that cozy? >> and it comes into question why the talking points were what they were, were they changed and why weren't they accurate, right? so the questions are there. brian, the answers, you seem to try to get some today from mike rogers. >> steve had a source and we've also read a lot of speculation and said how candid could mike morell be, being that he did play a role in changing the talking points and it did work out better for the state department headed by hillary clinton, could he have an agenda? the fact that he got a job with
4:08 am
hillary clinton's main operator, is there a nexus there? so i asked rogers how he feels about his chief investigator now linked up with hillary clinton's main man and was there linkage at all and does that compromise him at all in this investigation? here is what he said. >> was not the lead investigator. the lead investigator is now my deputy and, listen, the investigation and the facts are what they are. so we had already done the 4,000-page document review. it's the intelligence committee that put out the first interim report that said hey, something is wrong. if you'll recall on fox news, i have the first one to say, wait a minute. this narrative is wrong. so a, he wasn't the lead investigator. b, the company didn't even exist at the time of the investigation. >> lindsey graham said last night on greta that he was, mike allen, who used to be the chief of staff for mike rogers, was
4:09 am
the chief investigator. and i have a source that says he was the chief investigator and he quashed bringing in a number of witnesses and they bring special ops survivors and this guy accused them of lying. it is curious as well, why the chief of station in libya was not interviewed for 18 months until just last week when the heat started getting hot. >> not typically the protocol followed. >> i think a lot of focus should be on mike morell and this entire process. i know the big deal is why help wasn't sent there. i know there is a huge deal on why help wasn't sent and there is a huge deal why weren't we pursuing the truth early on. when mike morell sat next to james clapper and when james clapper was asked who changed the talk points, mike morell said nothing. then we find out mike morell changed the talking points and took out certain parts that had
4:10 am
the c.i.a. who had put up red flag, security is an issue and follow-up is an issue and he went and took it out to make the state department look better and he also initially blamed the f.b.i that's why senator lindsey graham flat out yesterday said he lied. so this is a huge deal that's not going away. people want to say there is too much of a focus. but how can you take your eyes off this ball if there is so much still wrong? >> sure. exactly. and there are a number of u.s. senators who are on the republican side who say we need a select committee with a professional investigator -- not congressman who just had five minutes to ask questions. they need the select committee. you asked mike rogers about that and the first thing he said was, well that, would be expensive. so when we're look for answers, we still need them. >> particularly the cost of human life so we understand what was lost there might be worth the investment to put forward that select committee. >> no kidding.

4:16 am
deal with that kind of treatment? >> joining us right now, south carolina senator tim scott. he's indicating -- welcome. thanks again. just real serious stuff off the top. it's not about the issues. it's about the race. your reaction? >> that's called pivoting. the bottom line is he ought to provide the documents. when you have the president of the united states saying i can do what i need to do with a pen and a phone, you already set the stage for a real confrontational relationship with a co-equal branch of the united states government. that is a bad decision on the president's part and not providing the documents to the house oversight committee, judiciary committee is also a bad decision on the administration's part, including eric holder's. >> that's al sharpton's national action network. it was an event honoring attorney general holder to speak there. but do you believe -- when i look at that, i see difference in parties and principles. i don't see skin color. am i the only one? >> listen, i see it the way you see it.
4:17 am
bottom line is that partisan politics, when one side of the aisle simply says we're going to ignore and avoid even dealing with the house of representatives, you find yourself in a confrontational relationship with those. that is a result of you going it alone. when you make the decision that you can avoid laws, decide not to enforce laws, you can figure out a fast and furious on your own or not figure it out at all, you provide no information on benghazi, you consistently have a pattern that simply says to the house of representatives, you are not a co-equal. >> so if that was ashcroft or meese, that would be treated the same way. >> it's consistent with the history of our president. >> another big issue is the wage disparity between men and women. that was brought up. now the "washington post" looks at this and says, two pinocchios. it's not as it appears. your reaction to the senate not pushing forward on it and not getting the 60 votes needed. >> at the end of the day, we need to focus back on a job

4:26 am
want a cause. they want to help others. >> sure. isn't it about not being perfect. i feel as though some people attribute religion to having to be perfect and fill all these spots with perfection and then there is failure. what do you want a my olympianial to know? you have a 15 and 19-year-old what, do you tell them? >> honor god with your life. you're not going to be perfect. you're going to make mistakes. but god is loving and forgiving. when you honor god, your life will go better. some people don't have that influence. they weren't raised in it. i think what i read is 90% of the people, if you're not raised in church, you downturned up in church. but on the flip side, i don't want to end it negative, but we do see thousands of young people that are hungry for god, that are doing good things. hopefully we can spread that message. >> joel, what you need is you need an app. there should be an app or something because most millenials are on the phone all the time. >> i know. we do. we have an app. there is the bible app. >> you have an app? >> oh, yeah. >> i got to download you.

5:07 am
>> the problem is mr. holder and the white house have stonewalled so far. they've been great at it. >> everybody knows that. that's absolutely true and even supporters of the obama administration have to admit that. there is no drive to investigate the irs abuses, none. >> you think the best route to do that is forcing that immunity? >> yeah. because then you'd have to arrest her. now they can find out -- they're still investigating. look, whatever holder appears anywhere, he has one line and one line only. i can't tell you anything 'cause the investigation is still underway. that's what he says. and he's going to say that until barak obama leaves office. that's what he's going to say. this investigation is not going to go anywhere and it's going to continue until they get out of there. but if you give her immunity, lerner and she still doesn't testify, then he has to arrest her. >> it will expedite the process. >> absolutely. >> what do you thigh think about the e-mail -- think about the e-mail exchange between lois lerner and some of her
5:08 am
colleagues there, it mentioned potentially getting a job, an offshoot of president obama's campaign. this is said. this is her e-mail. maybe i can get a job, get the dc office job and then sharon light responds, retirement talk? so kidding or not, certainly something they're going to take a look at. what do you see? >> i'm not going to convict this woman on television. i just don't know. and i don't think it's fair for commentators to do that. what i do know is that the woman knows what happened. she knows what happened and she won't tell the american people. so number one, she's not a patriot. so we all -- she's not doing the country any good. but as far as micromanaging, what she has done and where she wanted to go, that's not for me to do. holder should be doing that. but he's not gonna do it. that gets me angry. it really does. it really gets me angry that these guys who are supposed to be looking out for the american people simply won't do their jobs because of politics. >> and brian, one of the things
5:09 am
is yesterday they presented all these e-mail and in addition to the ofa thing, it also showed that she personally met with, after being e-mailed by a couple of lefty groups, and they go, why aren't you investigating or auditing karl rove's crossroads gps group? next thing you know, she's writing to the guys in dallas, hey, why aren't we auditing karl rove's -- >> again, let the investigators put forth what they have. as a commentator, i just don't want to be in a position of making accusations against lois lerner, other than what we know. she's harming the country. she has something to hide. and so let's deal with her. >> you just said something true, let's find out. but you agree, i imagine, that there is a lot we need to find out. it makes you wonder why president obama has seen enough already, when you asked him the question about the irs, there is a bunch of loose ends that we can see, but he saw it differently. let's look. >> you're the leader of the country. you're saying no corruption?
5:10 am
>> none. >> no. there was some bone headed decisions. >> bone headed decisions. but no mass corruption? >> not even mass corruption. not even a smidgen of corruption. >> you listen to that, what do you think now? >> i think that's what holder told him. i think that's what holder told him. >> but that would mean case closed, right? what's the point of an investigation if -- >> the president can't close the investigation. but i believe that what the president told me was what holder told him. well, don't worry about it! i got it, i got it! there is nothing here. >> that's a pivotal revelation there, though. >> thank you. it's my job to get them on the record and i did. >> on a big day in the white house with the president of the united states saying not a smidgen of corruption. >> absolutely. but i believe that's what holder is telling him. >> you could be right about it. but the problem is, aside from fox, no members of the mainstream media are really looking at it. >> very few.
5:11 am
>> we had on "special report" a couple nights ago, george will said the irs thing was one of the biggest scandals over the last -- >> one of the top three. i don't know whether that's true, whether it rises, but certainly the media has no interest in finding it out because they have emotion invested in president obama's success. we all know that. >> i don't mean to interrupt, but i just got a fax from your agent. you look so good on the couch, he thinks you should make a move to try to get that spot for me on a daily basis. >> do you know what a pay cut i would take doing that? that's never going to happen. >> you still are to do your show, too. >> like we have a fax machine down there. come on. >> we do. he does look good in my seat. >> he does. he's going to stick around for the next segment because we got this coming up. >> that's right. he's going to hold the seat here. you saw eric holder get grilled on capitol hill. he said it's because he's black. bill, you're going to address that when we come back. >> i will. >> all right. and did you know john hancock

we're continuing the conversation with bill o'reilly here. you saw the attorney general, eric holder, get tough questions on capitol hill earlier this week. yesterday he said it wasn't fair because of his race? >> you look at the way the attorney general of the united states was treated yesterday by a house committee. had nothing to do with me. what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? what president has ever had to deal with that kind of
5:16 am
treatment? >> and bill o'reilly, looks like he's suggesting that they got that treatment because they're african-american. >> he's implying it and certainly the venue, that's sharpton's thing, is did she issue let's see. i'm going to choose my words carefully because you know all the left wing web sites -- >> they're like this on their typewriter. >> they're pretreating right now >> that's a grievance situation. we've been doing a lot of that on the factor. it's another grievance situation. i'm not going to put words in the attorney general's mouth that he's saying it's because he's black. but certainly where the venue is and he's speaking to primarily african-americans, you could take that inference. but it's so hollow. come on. you didn't find out what happened in benghazi. you didn't find out what happened with fast and furious. you didn't find out what happened with the irs. years go by. he should have been fired a long time ago and i don't know what -- i don't care what color
5:17 am
he is, he is not an effective law enforcement agent. he is a politician masquerading as one. and everybody knows it. every honest person knows the record that he has in huge cases is abysmal. can i make it clearer? i don't care what color you are. you're failing as an attorney general. it's embarrassing. we know who did the benghazi attack. why haven't they been -- he sends the f.b.i. over. the f.b.i. is looking bad. i think primarily because of him. >> so this is about competency or lack thereof. >> i believe it is. >> but why then? why undermine racism when it does exist? >> because it's an excuse. he -- do you think that the house committee called him in and said, let's get the black guy today? is that what they did? does anybody believe that? let's get the black guy today. they're coming and saying, we've been asking you for documents for years. you won't turn them over!

all right? i mean, there comes a point where honest americans have to say enough! enough. that's where we are with eric holder. >> speaking of americans, good news for younger americans. they now have an opportunity to get a new version of "killing jesus." it's written for kids, i understand, called "the last days of jesus." what was the approach here? >> well, kids, if you go to public school, you live in the secular at home, you don't know anything about jesus. the only time you hear about jesus is when you're getting yelled at. jesus! and the kid jumps. because they're petrified to teach about jesus in public schools because the aclu will come in and cart you away. but this is a history book. he's the most famous person who ever lived. and children in america, a lot of them don't know anything about him. so that's what we put together here. >> 64% of millenials believe the bible is sacred. that's a lower number than the
5:19 am
rest. and 39% never read outside the church. they don't look at a bible outside of a church. the fact that you can put this into an educational text -- >> remember, there is no religion in the book. it's just history. we don't even use the word christ because christ connotes messiah. >> why did you do it? >> because i couldn't document the resurrection happened. nobody a picture of it. so we only go on the factual record. but the story is so compelling and christian tradition had so much to do with the formation of our country. and the kids don't know anything about it. they have no idea about why the justice system is the way it is, any of that. so we put it all together in this great book that everybody can understand. >> and since easter is coming up, it's a perfect time to buy it for your kids. >> easter is coming up. >> the chances of steve, myself and elisabeth getting at least a discount on this book? >> i told elisabeth, i'm giving her a free one. since you helped me out at saint

5:24 am
24 minutes after the top of the hour. quick headlines for you. a new report says russia may have withheld critical information from the f.b.i. that could have prevented the boston bombings. the bureau's request for information on one of the suspects was ignored. and it's a good thing this is just a temporary tattoo. the cover of next month's rolling stone shows julia louis-dreyfus with a constitution tattooed on her back. and john hancock signed the small of her back. the problem is hancock didn't sign the constitution. he signed the declaration of independence. oops. >> details, details. well, thanks, steve. another new struggle for millenials right now. they're finding it nearly impossible to buy a house. in fact, two-thirds have to turn to their parents or some other cosigner for help.
5:25 am
but it's not always the best idea. fox news legal analyst bob massi going to join us now to answer some crucial questions when it comes to that relationship. good morning, bob. >> good morning, elisabeth. how are you? >> i'm well. thanks. so this is a little concerning. we have more and more millenials asking for cosigners when it comes to mortgage. what's the legal impact and risk. we're talking house or car? big purchases. >> everything. this is the combat between the baby boomers and millenials. the baby boomers with the millenials. kids don't have good credit. they come to mom and dad and say listen, i want to buy a house. i want to buy a car. my credit is bad. so you cosign. you and i as a parent e with cosign. what does that mean? that means legally, both of us, both the child and the parent is responsible. most of the time, elisabeth, the cosigner is not getting the benefit of the deal. in other words, they're not driving the car. they're not living in the house.
5:26 am
they're not using the credit card. it's the kids. so what's important for you and i as parents to understand, we are equally responsible. so if they default, that being the child, on any of these payments, we are equally as responsible as if we were the ones getting the benefit of that. so it's a very important thinape because what we've seen with the real estate crisis and credit issues for young people in this country. >> right. and dad not making a payment is a big deal. it's a trust issue. what's the difference between a cosigner and guarantor? >> so a guarantor, you're basically saying -- let's say the child is not able to qualify, but the bank says or finance company says listen, you don't have to cosign, but guarantee the payment. so guarantor means that if all else fails, if there is a default and the lender or the credit company cannot collect against that child, in this case, a millenial, then i have
5:27 am
guaranteed it. so they've exhausted all avenues. now i guarantee it and they can come after me secondary. and as a result of that, there is a major difference 'cause a guarantor is not part of the contract, but they're sort of underwriter, so to speak, where i'm guaranteeing i will make that good if for some reason my child defaults on a payment. >> so last line of defense there. another question for you, how does a cosigner or guarantor know if the default payment has occurred or not? >> any time you are a signaturor on a loan, a cosigner or guarantor and there is a default, the lend, the finance company, the credit card generally speaking will always send you notice. hey, there is there has been default on a payment. hey, you're late on this. this is why this becomes important. because your credit is affected. and many times what happens is whenever the child has signed for had and move out of state, you don't know if they're making the payments. all of a sudden one day you get a letter through the mail saying hey, there is a default of
5:28 am
payment. you go what's going on? and all of a sudden, they open up. i always say, it's sort of funny at my house and my kids are grown and i say, i'm the dumbest guy in my house unless somebody needs $100 or somebody to cosign on a loan. that's what baby boomers are going through for my -- millenials. but that default is a phone call away. >> and we've been on both sides. we need help and then want to give help. e-mail your questions to our web site, just look for the rebuilding dreams section at the bottom of our page. bob, thanks. >> thank you. well, the president blaming republicans for not fixing the pay gap between men and women. but the democratic senate just shut down the plan to give them a raise. so what gives? democrat senator joe manchin explains why coming up. since it's throwback thursday, we're taking a look back in time. do you recognize this face? oh, yeah, it's nicole petallides. she joins us live from the

(agent) i understand. (dad) we've never sold a house before. (agent) i'll walk you guys through every step. (dad) so if we sell, do you think we can swing it? (agent) i have the numbers right here and based on the comps that i've found, the timing is perfect. ...there's a lot of buyers for a house like yours. (dad) that's good to know. (mom) i'm so excited. we are back with a fox news alert. the labor department just releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers. nicole petallides is live at the new york stock exchange with the breaking news.
5:33 am
nicole, good morning. >> good morning. so the numbers coming in, you have 300,000 claims coming in here for the last week. that is slightly better than what the analysts had been expecting of 320,000 claims. the prior week was 326,000 claims. this is good news overall and the jobless claims number in the u.s. declines to the lowest level since may of 2007. in the meantime, we've watched the futures coming up off the lows of the day. still looks like a slightly lower open, but looking a little better. we've heard our fed yesterday which shows a highly accommodating fed who will keep the hikes off longer. that's why yesterday we saw a pop in the market and you saw obviously yields dropping. so it's very interesting to see the action we've seen on wall street. we're higher for the week. >> sure. it's not a turn around tuesday because we're up to thursday. it's throwback thursday and nicole, we revealed some
5:34 am
pictures of us from back in the day. you wouldn't happen to have anything from your video -- oh, my goodness, look at that! >> oh, my goodness. this is a familiar face. i enjoyed your throwback thursday picture. >> i can tell you that i was so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with maria bartoromo here on the floor of the new york stock exchange. they has worked tirelessly for so many years. she broke ground here on the floor of the new york stock exchange. being the first journalist to report here on the floor amongst all the traders which obviously was ground breaking and has since had such a great career and through that, i've got to enjoy working with her. here is the picture with dick rosso, another famous faye you may remember from the past, ceo of the new york stock exchange. now maria is with us at fox and i'm so happy with that. >> are you really, nicole? did you have a lot of catching up to do when she first walked in and did you have to approve the hire? >> oh, yeah right. not really, not really. but actually we maintained our
5:35 am
friendship. i've always watched her great career. i used to see her regularly here at the new york stock exchange. we followed obviously the housing boom and bust, the tech boom and bust, the financial crisis, so we've certainly enjoyed business news all these many years and i'm so excited she's here with our fox family with her sunday futures and opening bell. >> what a great story. >> maria might have been the first to report, but you're the first one to walk the entire time. you are the one. you are the lewis and clark of the stock exchange. >> oh, that's pretty funny. i'll go ahead and take that. i'm not really sure that's true. but i'll go with that. >> you're the susan b. anthony. >> oh, right. don't you ever see someone going downstairs go like this, i'm going downstairs now? i'm just kidding. >> nicole, thank you very much
5:36 am
for the live report and the throwback thursday. heather nauert joins us now with headlines. we need a throwback thursday from you. >> let's call my mom. good morning to you. i have news to bring you. we've been following this story. we are now hearing for the first time from the woman whose honorhas ry degree was yanked. the advocate for muslim rights in the muslim world was criticized. they voiced outrage. what did the university do? it quickly caved to pressure and withdrew its offer. ali is not staying quiet about the issue. she spoke to megyn kelly last night. listen to this. >> i have systematically been condemned by muslim individuals, muslim organization, relatives, any time that i've been asked the treatment of women in islam, they're not doing their muslim students any favors because to
5:37 am
really be assimilated into american society, to become american is to accept the idea that you can have a robust debate. >> the university says she's welcome at the school for discussions. just not to receive an honorary degree. remember when the retiring democrat jim moran said congress needs a raise despite its really crummy approval rating? that pay hike is not happening after all. the house rejecting moran's bid to give members of congress an extra 25 bucks a day to help with their living expenses in washington. members of congress already earn $174,000 each year. plus that pension and lots of other goodies. the family who was rescued from sea when one of their babies got sick on their boat is now back on u.s. land this morning. and we have just learned that the kaufmans won't have to pay for their rescue cost. taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill. the kaufmans tried to sail
5:38 am
around the world with their three-year-old and their one-year-old baby, but the baby got spic then they had to call for help. the international guard parachuted in and rescued that family. their sick daughter is now doing a whole lot better. and then take a look at this. caught on camera, an explosion right in front of a bartender's face. did you see that? what was it? it was actually an e cigarette. it was charging on an ipad charger when it burst into flames and then flew across the bar like a rocket. the bartender's dress also caught on fire. luckily she suffered minor burns on her arm. the manufacturer says there are clear warnings that the cigarette should only be charged with the proper plug. we hear a lot of stories about this kind of thing. >> what's the danger there? in the bar having an e cigarette? >> you have to use the right plug. i think we're heading to brian
5:39 am
now. >> yeah. maria, i understand, according to my sources, that you are poised to give us the weather. can you verify that? >> i do verify that, brian. we're ready here in new york city. >> then go ahead and do it. go ahead. >> sounds good. let's take a look at those currents temperatures across the country because it is quite chilly early this morning across parts of the east. we are waking up to temperatures. earlier they were in the teens across parts of new england. now in the mid 20s across places like caribou maine. but the rest of the country in the 40s and 50s in chicago, minneapolis. 60 in kansas city. you are going to be heating up, especially across parts of texas and in arizona. take a look at the high temperature forecast in phoenix. 99 degrees. you're going to be so close to 100, that's even early for you. 95 in del rio in texas. we have a system that's swinging through parts of the great lakes and it is producing some light showers today. but tomorrow it will have more moisture with it and anywhere
5:40 am
from parts of eastern kentucky into parts of northern new jersey, you could be looking at a chance for some very heavy rain with that system and it could produce some flash flooding. let's head over to you, steve. >> all right. thank you very much. straight ahead on the docket, the supreme court about to take up a key case on obamacare. is that why democrats are now hurling attacks against the supreme court? they're trying to brush them back. we're going to talk about that next. then, less time at work mean you'll get more work done? it's an experiment some businesses are trying. the six-hour workday. >> then a four hour, then a two-hour. >> a slippery slope. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] this is karen and jeremiah.

welcome back. time for news by the numbers. first, $30 million. that's how much was wasted on another green company. smith electric vehicles now closing its u.s. plant despite getting funds from president obama's 2009 stimulus. next, 100%. that's the number of votes you get when you're on the -- you're the only number on the ballot. kim jong-un won reelection in north korea. six hours. it's part of a experiment to find out if a shorter workday increases productivity. what do you think about that? >> we only work three hours a day. i'm kidding. we work all day. meanwhile, we told you about the game that democrats are playing against americans expressing political speech. today we have a closer look at how the democrats are demonizing the supreme court. >> the direction that the court is headed in is just dramatic
5:45 am
and just dark. >> it is a sign of a court that has an agenda. >> the money rule and everybody else can go hang. >> today deals a real blow to those of us who believe in integrity in government. >> inequality is sweeping over our political system. daunts them not a wit. >> that's what's bad about democracy for the many, this is about democracy for the money over here. >> democracy for the money. so whatever happened to separation of powers? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. joins with us a closer look at hypocrisy. >> there is one power, the power is money and the democrats are going to spend their money to pressure the supreme court. they say, we're just working the ref the way do you at a football or basketball game. but this is not a game. this is about the separation of powers. this is about judicial independence. justice is supposed to be blind in america. so what they're saying is supreme court, we're going to take the blinders off and you're going to see how much we can jam
5:46 am
you in mainstream media and progressive web sites. so they're going out and getting actual campaign contributions now from people using the likeness of chief judge roberts and the other people who voted against their interests, they believe, on citizens united and the recent mccupen case that allowed people to give contributions in every state if they wanted to in federal campaigns. >> and that supreme court decision that came out essentially said there is an arbitrary cap on the amount of money you can give. it should be unlimited. which really you're talking about freedom of speech. but what's interesting about this is this particular supreme court, peter johnson, jr., you would think that the left would love them given the fact that they validated obamacare. >> they did validate obamacare. but it's got to be fight by fight by fight. remember when the president went after the supreme court in 2010 at the state of the union and
5:47 am
how one justice responded during it? let's take a look at that. >> last week the supreme court reversed a century of law that i believe will open the flood gates for special interest. including foreign corporations. suspend without limit in our elections. >> not true. justice aledo said. and so what we have now is a situation in this country where judicial independence is threatened. we understand politics at the white house level. we understand politics in congress. but it is maybe unwritten that the sanctity of the supreme court is so important to the bulwark of democracy, to the strength and endurance of our republic that we say hands off. we respect, but we disagree. but we don't go out and raise millions of dollars and go on television and the floor of the senate and say they got it wrong. they're bad. we're going to go after them
5:48 am
unless they get it right. hands off the supreme court. hands off regular americans. hands off rich americans. hands off poor americans. the supreme court is acting based on their constitutional duties. and they should be doing it unimpeded and not harassed in this particular way. >> indeed. they are america's umpire. they got -- >> separation of powers. >> peter johnson, jr., thanks for laying it out for us. >> good to see you. >> straight ahead, coming up, new polls show the democrats could lose the senate this november. but our next guest who is a democrat says no way. so what does senator joe manchin know that we don't? he's coming up. first what does martha mccallum know that we don't 'cause she's got two hours of tv? >> will lois lerner be arrested? there is that chance. what about the back and forth between congressman cumming' office and the irs? a lot of questions about what that was all about. what did the russians know about the boston bomber before the

welcome back to washington. "fox & friends" continues. the white house has been pushing for paycheck fairness act. you know that. to close the pay gap they say exists between men and women. just one problem. >> this isn't just about treating women fairly. this is about republicans seemingly opposing any efforts to even the playing field for working families. republicans in congress are dead set against it. blocking a pay raise for tens of
5:53 am
millions of americans. they want to show that they do care about women being paid the same as men? then show me. >> so why did the bill just fail then in the democratically controlled senate? west virginia senator joe manchin joins us now from washington. senator, you were in support of the bill. so did the president help or hurt the cause? >> from the leadership, whether it be the white house or the leadership in the senate, republican or democrat, that type of rhetoric does not help. it just doesn't help. it insulates people and they pretty much hold their ground. we've got to find out -- it failed. i support that. i support basically the paycheck fairness. it failed. are they going to reach out now to friends on both -- do they have enough friends to bring it back. >> didn't that plow the field for that vote prior to that vote? >> it makes it difficult. there is no chance of that

making it a better situation for us to be able to move forward. they've got to situation now where on capitol hill that we've got to start looking at. are we serious about it? i don't know any democrat or republican that doesn't want paycheck fairness. >> either party isn't anti-women. >> i agree. and also for minimum wage. can we find the middle ground so everyone can move forward? >> i just wonder if these issues are the issues which we should be discussing anyway if we want to get our economy going and i know you do, too. let's talk about the senate. mid terms really going to affect your life. 47-46 both have safe seats. seven are considered toss-ups. three republicans winning by double digits. how concerned are you that democrats and you yourself will be in the minority in november? >> the bottom line is it will be close no matter white powdery substance. i think we have very good candidates. moderate democrats running in very good states that know them well, that elected them before. but then we have some areas that can swing much and the republicans have a couple swing
5:55 am
areas that could be up in the contest also. i think at thend of the day we'll be at 51-52, maybe 53. >> for you guys. >> democrats. >> you would probably be the island that republicans who would reach to or democrats would push for if it does go to the republicans' direction because you have been someone clear thinking on many issues. and nonpartisan, i would say. finally, what do you think it helps or hurts the cause for the country and for congress when senator harry reid gets on the senate floor and continuously brings up the koch brothers. many americans don't even know who they are. >> if you're trying to rally the barracks the bases have already been rallied. the right and left have been rallied. it's us in the middle that have to start making something happen here in washington to move this country forward. people want jobs. you don't beat up people. i don't agree with their politics or philosophics. but they're americans, they're paying their taxes. >> they're not breaking the law. they're providing jobs. right, wrong or indifferent, whether you like the politic, don't like the extreme democrat
5:56 am
or republican politic, we got to start being americans. >> are you disappointed he uses that time? >> i'm in an environment right now everywhere we're expected to go out and raise money to be spent against our colleagues and campaign against them. and then on monday come back and say hey, buddy, will you work with me? will you sign this bill? that doesn't work in west virginia. we weren't raised that way. so this type of rhetoric does not help us move this country forward. >> fundamentally you're a governor, chief executive. you're trying to herd cats. >> what i would do is say listen, we're all west virginiaans. let's wrote this forward and have fun with politics later. back right after. this don't go away chico's effortless shirt. play in it. work in it. go wild in it.
