on my facebook. that's it for today. thanks for joining me. until next time, i hope you're learning to be more of a healthy you. hello. i'm gregg jarrett. a fox news alert, a roller coaster day in nevada where moments ago, federal agents deciding to call off efforts to seize a cattle ranchers herd after a very tense standoff all day long, all because, they say, he owes up to a million bucks in unpaid grazing fees. the rancher claims his rights are on land that date back to the 19th century. william la jeunesse is live there for us. how did we go from this to an

armed standoff? >> earlier today, they said they were backing off and pulling out 250 agents and contract cowboys who had been out here rounding up the cattle of clive and bundy. however, there's one problem. when they said they were going to leave, they had the cattle in an impound lot and the rancher wanted them back. let me show you video we shot moments ago. a tense armed standoff. 200 to 300 protesters were blocking a major freeway between utah and nevada, armed militia, two up in sniper positions with rifles above law enforcement. they were attempting to then negotiate them off. they went under the underpass. now we're waiting for the release of bundy's cattle. we're told it should happen in the next 30 minutes. now, that follows earlier today what was a victory celebration.

around 9:00 this morning, protesters had planned to overwhelm a blm checkpoint. at just about that time instead, the blm's director in washington issuing a statement saying they were going to cease operations for the safety of their employees and the public. the operation easily costing in excess right now of $1 million. they had rounded up over seven days some 400 cattle. they had another 400 to 500 to go. were in mountains and ravines. that was going to be additionally more expensive and potentially dangerous. so the confrontation earlier this week, we had a man tasered. we had a woman tackled. the fear was with this armed militia had come from out of state, again, talking about over 1,000 protesters, it was only going to cascade and get worse. kind of a provocation. the blm deciding to try to end this peacefully. we do know at this time that

clive and bundy is an outlaw, a deadbeat for failing to pay grazing fees over 20 years, ignoring two court orders to pull his cattle off federal land. he refused to do that. to others, he is a hero, a folk hero. the last rancher standing in this county, he stood up to the federal government. and to that, many will hold him out as a savior, if you will, or at least a symbol of rural america standing up to the federal government, onerous environmental regulations to their point of view and blame in many cases an overburdensome federal government for their situation. many of them had showed up here and they, of course, thought this was a symbolic victory if nothing else. it appears at this point it's going to end peacefully. he'll get his cattle back. the question now is what condition some of those animals are in. we're told because they were rounded up by helicopter, a lot of stress. some of them may have died in the process.

but nevertheless, it appears it will end peacefully. back to you. >> william la jeunesse, we'll check back with you as it develops. thanks very much. some of the country's top conservatives coming together today in new hampshire. senators rand paul, ted cruz, donald trump and newt gingrich. just some of the people at the inaugural freedom summit to give us a look at the contenders in the 2016 presidential election. carl cameron live at the summit. carl, you are in manchester, new hampshire. >> this summit is the first of its kind. there's never been a cattle call of presidential candidates getting together for the midterms two years before the election. yet here we are in new hampshire, home of the nation's primary. it's like a sprinter.

the first one to get a good jump out of the block could be the winner at the end when you get to the tape. this was not the whole field by any stretch of the imagination. 20 candidates could be running on the republican side in 2016. rand paul who's been leading the polls all over the country particularly in the early voting states, very strong success with appealing to younger voters, minorities, lgbt voters and try to expand the party base and start winning elections. that's not been received well by some of the conservatives in the republican party who think these libertarian views undermine conservative values. ted cruz, the texas senator, another tea party favorite like paul, took issue with that today and said he thinks the republican party should stand for all three pillars, all three legs of the stool that is the

republican party -- national security conservatism, economic conservatism and social conservatism. the last candidate we heard was from mike huckabee, fox news host and winner of the 2008 iowa caucuses, a former pastor. he said in his experience and understanding of history, republican presidents who have been pro-life and staunch on conservative values have won the presidency over the last few years. and as huckabee put it today, those who have been a squish on social issues, which is to say more moderate than conservatives would like, have often lost. that's where huckabee stands on it. it's a debate ongoing in the republican party that will go up until the new hampshire primary and ultimately until the nomination is clinched. >> carl cameron, looks beautiful behind you. thank you very much. >> gorgeous new hampshire day. >> it is, absolutely. the mystery behind malaysian flight 370.

search crews still have not been able to locate the plane's black boxes, thought to be sending signals from the bottom of the indian ocean. and time is running out before their batteries expire. >> while we do have a high degree of confidence that the transmissions that we've been picking up are from flight mh-370's black box recorder, no one should underestimate the difficulties of the task still ahead of us. >> australian prime minister tony abbott saying the hunt for the jet will continue, quote, for a very long time. the search area has narrowed, giving new hope to the mission. and there is new information today about a deadly bus crash in northern california. witnesses say this fedex truck was already on fire before it went across a median, then slammed into a tour bus.

that according to a couple who was sideswiped by the truck before the crash. ten people killed thursday when the truck slammed into a bus carrying high school students. the ntsb is investigating. kansas city could be dealing with a possible serial shooter. police announcing they are now officially linking 12 highway shootings that began in early march wounding three people. investigators also reviewing other cases that may be related. brian as more on that for us. >> the police say the string of shootings are from the same person or persons but there are no known suspects. most of the shootings are reported in the southern part of kansas city, missouri, known as the grandview triangle or three trails crossing. it's where three interstate highways and u.s. 50 intersect. police believe the shots are coming from inside a car in all 12 cases, someone fired shots,

just before reaching a highway exit ramp or road split. the suspect then veering off in a different direction from the victim's vehicle. one victim reported seeing a gunman drive next to their car and open fire wearing a ski mask and hood. >> it was really scary to think somebody's out here doing it with no regard for what could happen. anybody could be hurt. people have families that drive on this highway. >> no one has been killed. most of the shootings, though, occur at night from 5:30 p.m. on. the news has some likening the situation to the 2002 sniper shootings in washington, d.c. that killed ten. but kansas city police have said they do not believe a sniper is targeting the area. and the mayor is downplaying the shooting spree. >> this is urban usa reality these days. and crime of any sort is especially bad for those who are

victimized by it. but i don't believe you can say what's going on in kansas city is of such a weird nature. >> police are reviewing cases dating back to last year. there is a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. >> bryan, thanks very much. coming up, what's in store for the white house's latest health and human services nominee? we'll take a look at that. . >> i hope the senate confirms sylvia without delay. she's going to do great. last time she was confirmed unanimously. i'm assuming not that much has changed since that time. ♪ you've reached the age where you know how things work. this is the age of knowing what needs to be done. so why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain;

a fresh face for obamacare as kathleen sebelius' departure, the budget director sylvia burwell has been nominated as

her replacement. it will put the controversial health care law front and center for a new round of national debate and scrutiny. here now to talk about it, byron york joins us, chief political correspondent of "the washington examiner." the president yesterday was talking in glowing terms about how wonderful kathleen sebelius was. there aren't many people who think so. >> that's kind of standard washington theater. an aide who'd caused an enormous amount of problems and embarrassment for the administration, probably a lot of it the white house's fault as well, has finally decided to leave. the administration's delighted. and then they go out and say a lot of nice things about her, perhaps hoping that she won't do some sort of exit interview or write on article or a book that's negative about the administration. >> because that is the norm.

look, john mccain tweeted that sylvia burwell is an excellent choice. i'm not sure jeff sessions would agree with that. last month during a hearing, he was excoriating toward burwell for her tendency and the omb wants to do this, to spend $56 billion more than the president agreed to. take a listen. >> are you spending more than the law allows currently? >> senator, it makes a very big difference -- >> why can't you say yes or no to that. >> because some questions aren't yes or no -- >> you've had your explanation. are you paying more or less? >> something questions aren't yes or no questions. >> this one is a yes or no question. you're refusing to answer it. i will answer it. the answer is that you're going to spend -- you're asking us to raise the spending limits by changing the ryan murray law so

you can spend even more than you agreed to spend ten weeks ago. >> i watched the whole thing. burwell was saying essentially, you, congress, should spend more money because i say so. i'm not sure she's going to get an easy ride. >> no, i think jeff sessions will have a lot to say about it, i know that. you have to remember, she was confirmed as omb director in the senate 96-0, unanimous. also remember, democrats changed the rules about nominations. all they have to have is 51 votes to confirm her. so it's interesting, i don't think there's any danger at all she will not be confirmed. but she is not going to have an easy ride of it in any event. and there are three reasons. two that -- one that jeff sessions was talking about, sequestration, a lot of republicans still angry about sequestration, the way the administration handled it with all the scare stories they had that didn't really come true. the other thing is the government shutdown.

she was a major figure in the government shutdown. a lot of republicans think that was handled in a punitive way to inflict as much pain as possible. and the last thing is obamacare. there's going to be a lot of talk about that. >> the president said the final score is 7 million people were signed up. he always uses that word, signed up, not enrolled. but he always forgives the fact that most americans have lost their plan, they have lost their doctor, they have lost their choice, they lost their hospitals, not to mention the fact that most people are paying more now. >> yeah, i think there's a lot of frustration about this among republicans on capitol hill. and the reason is, they don't feel they've gotten the straight story from the administration. they don't think the numbers are correct. we know -- we know for a fact that 7.1 million or 7.5 million, not all of those are people who

have paid for their insurance policy and people who were previously uncovered. many of them might be people who lost the insurance that they had and were satisfied with because of obamacare. they just went back to the exchanges to get more. so we know that 7.5 million number is not good. they also have questions about medicaid, how many of those people who signed up for medicaid would have been eligible anyway if obamacare had never passed. that's before getting to the questions of higher premiums, higher deductibles and narrower choices. so what's going to happen with sylvia burwell in her confirmation hearing, it's going to be kind of a hearing on obamacare, part of that -- for part of the hearing. it's going to discuss things that happened in h.h.s. before she's ever showed up or was nominated. and republicans are going to try to get out of her promises that she will be more transparent than kathleen sebelius was in the coming months. >> which is no transparent. byron york, thanks very much. >> thank you, gregg. hard to believe but tuesday

welcome back. tuesday marking one year since the deadly boston marathon bombings that led to a massive five hahn day manhunt. national geographic channel has produced a gripping new docudrama based on eyewitness could you tell us from law enforcement, survivors, ordinary citizens whose lives were changed forever. >> he was wearing a white hat and walking back and forth talk on a cell phone. it was just the slightest movement that you end up seeing

the backpack and you actually see the individual put it down. walking away from the explosion about 15 seconds or so before the second bomb went off. enormous breakthrough. >> one thing that was distinctive was the white a. from that point on, he was known to us as white hat. >> robert palumbo joins us live. thank you for being with us. this is fantastic. you had inside access? >> we did. we really generated the idea to do this while the investigation was still going on, even before the younger brother was caught. it seemed like such an incredible story. there must be all of this amazing investigation, all this amazing personality, all this amazing thrilling kind of seat

of your pants action happening behind the scenes that we didn't really see so much of during the actual investigation. during those five days. and when it was over, we began to try to get access. it took a long time. but eventually we were able to get access to all the people involved in the investigation, from the beat cops, from the people on the street in boston, all the way up through the f.b.i., to the boston police, up to the mayor, the governor of boston, all participating in this, giving us playby play of what happened. >> speaking of play by play, it really is a first person account. >> it really is. we really wanted to put you in the shoes of the people doing the investigation. and also the people who were suffering from what happened at the bombing site. for us, it was very important that boston was able to speak first person about what happened to them. boston being a city itself, the

survivors and being -- the f.b.i. and the boston police, all law enforcement that led the investigation. we really wanted to feel the tension because that five days was harrowing for everyone in the whole country, but particularly for boston and really focused on the people in charge of stopping these guys. who knows if they were going to strike again? who knew if they were going to be able to get to new york as they planned to do? we didn't know what was happening. these guys were right in the middle of it. it's huge pressure upon them. >> you showed this thing a couple days ago and you got a standing ovation for this. >> we did. we premiered the film in boston, of course. and in that room in boston, we had survivors. we had the boston police, the watertown police. we had the f.b.i., representatives of the government. everybody in the same room, probably for the first time. i don't think even during the investigation they were all in the same room together. here they were and we showed

this two-hour film to them and it really was an endorsement of the quality of the film and the respect we had for the heroic job that they did that we got a standing ovation. >> you totally deserve it, robert. you put your heart and life into this whole thing. so many lives were at stake here, too. >> thank you for sharing it with us. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> "inside the hunt for the boston bomber" premieres tomorrow night, sunday, april 13 at 9:00 p.m. eastern time on the nat geo channel. that does it for us. i'm gregg jarrett. art and i will be back in half an hour.

>> it's that time again. they want your money. >> americans who can afford it should pay their fair share. >> but what is fair? these people say we should allsh pay more. the first country in the world to impose a fat tax.o >> the media applaud new taxes and things they don't like. >> basically you go to the supermarket, you buy a food that has above a certain level of fat. >> but we could all pay less if politicians didn't get special breaksf to certain people. >> $8,000 this year.re >> finally, you'd be surprised at the size of a sneaky tax uncle sam imposes. >> this adds a nickel to
