less chaos that way. >> robert said i would like to see the airlines go back to the days of the friendly skies. wouldn't we all. >> thank you so much for joining us. have a great day. "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. today is tuesday, april 22. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the obama administration under fire forç delaying the keystone pipeline again. but it's not the president's fault. >> there have been a series of moments along the path here where politics has played a role in delaying the process, as you know. actions through congress, for example. >> who is really to blame for the pipeline politics? we report, you decide. >> have search teams been looking in the wrong place all along for that missing malaysian flight 370? why sources now believeç the

plane may have landed. >> wow. he's a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie who stars in a popular tv show but now this trucker is on thin ice facing felony charges. we have the details. despite that negative story, mornings are better with friends. >> hi. this is phil mickelson and you're watching "fox & friends." >> welcome aboard. live from studio e in the heart of midtown manhattan. it's "fox & friends." hash tag better with friends, our twitter handle. look who's back after a day away. >> i know. thanks to ainsley for stepping in there. >> she comes with a chip on her shoulder but she's very nice. welcome back. for a second i thought you were off to run tho marathon. >> in my heart i will always be running the marathon. 1999 was the last time i

ran it. >> you ran it with your husband. >> he did. he jumped in. that's when i knew he was the one. he jumped in and i smiled. i think he handed me water or something. >> he carried you up heartbreak hill. >> we have more on the marathon including the marathon winner and the back story to our association with him and the back story to the story of the story you have not heard before. >> and how anna kooiman did. i was following her. she took an iceç bath last night. i want to know how it worked. >> did i too. >> you saw her ice bath? >> no. >> we look forward to that. back to oil and pipelines and things that aren't done. can somebody get a ratchet set from canada to the u.s. and put this thing together? >> maybe you have to wait until after the mid term elections. the administration is coming under fire from the unions. imagine that. >> unions are upset at the president? >> yes. there is a divide right now over jobs saying this is

just bad politics that came out on good friday. right here you're going to hear terry sullivan, the general president of the labor international union of north america and he says this is bad, bad for americans, bad for jobs. this is once again the politics at its worst in another move, the administration is delaying its findingç on whether the pipeline is in the national interest based on month-old litigation in nebraska regarding a state level challenge to a state process and which has nothing to do with national interests. they waited until good friday believing no one would be paying attention. the only surprise is they didn't wait to do it in the dark of the night. it's not the oil that's dirty. it's the politics. >> it is the politics. and clearly what has got the labor union upset. because what's interesting about this is now labor is on -- labor loves fracking extraordinarily enough, considering that they are also to the left because it is result ing inç really good jobs for a lot of people right now.

you've got this tom steger guy who donated millions of dollars to keep the democrats in the u.s. senate. he said you want the money, you can't do anything about the pipeline. in the meantime you've got the unions who say we need the jobs. you've got 11 at-risk democrats in the senate, they're going mr. president, we're against you on this. we think the pipeline would be a good thing. it all looks political, doesn't it? >> i would think by far. five and a half years you studied this and each and every time they say no environmental impact and they count many jobs. it is amazing the same party that is so upset at the koch brothers who america doesn't care about, they took their money and backed certain causes and candidates, howç could you not be at least as condemning when it comes to these, this guy who says here's my millions, this is what i want to get done.

you talk about hostage to rich people, that is a perfect example. it is time for jay carney to admit it. this is all part of the politics. that is what this is, pure politics. sorry. any other questions. does he answer like that? let's see. >> there have been a series of moments along the path here that, where politics has played a role in delaying the process, as you know,ç actions to congress, for example. and then there have been other instances where either local or state concerns slow down the process or, in this case, action by a state court had an impact on the process itself. >> he talked about what happened in nebraska with the state court but it is easy to get around. by the way, remember when the president appeared in nebraska and said we're going to do the part of the pipeline that is in the u.s., from here to here. so that's done.

we just need from here to here. this is very easy. >> it can't be the president's fault. we should focus on congress and they are already down, according to recent polls. oil movement have producedç ed jobs in areas. it will play a role in the mid term elections. but it did not play a role in mainstream media bias. they devoted 13 minutes to the royal clinton baby. no keystone. no keystone discussion there. >> so let's recap. we heard from debbie wasserman schultz. she said the decision to delay the keystone pipeline was not political. we heard from jay carney. he said it's not the president's fault. it's congress's fault. it is a big story. with all this blaming goingç on in washington, d.c., you would think the networks would do a lot on it. no. instead what they have been doing is they're covering

the royal baby. in fact, on this week, martha radditz said should hillary clinton be called grandma? >> no one loves baby news more than me but there is a responsibility i believe our nation deserves. >> i remember mitt romney during the election had like a hundred grandkids. i don't remember the glowing press that the clintons are getting right now. >> 59 days without talking about obamacare, this week without george stephanopoulos didn't touch it ought all. meanwhile, let's talk ranch. >> the bundy family talking about their livelyhood. there is a new facebook page the bundyç family has to prove to the world that the feds have slaughtered their cattle. >> these cattle, actually what we call mother cattle, they are the ones that have

the babies, that if their male cattle, those are the ones we send up. these are the mothers that make our living. they have our source every year so we can continue our business of livestock. we no longer have four mama cows. >> remember last week we told you that afterç the feds seized the cattle and then they released them back to the bundys, the bundys were missing over 100. now they are allege alleging the bureau of land management ran them to death or killed them. on the facebook page the bundys put up, they're showing pictures that they say prove the bureau of land management, the federal government, while they had a court order only to seize the cattle, they actually killed the cattle. >> they say the irony is the very animals they're looking to get off the land they left there to die. the images are tough to look at. let us know what you think about those.

>> where's peta? why haven't we heard from peta regarding this? >> e-mail us, let us know what you think aboutç that. in the meantime heather nauert standing by. >> this is coming in from overseas. al qaeda's chief bomb maker is believed to have been killed by u.s.-backed special forces in yemen. he is the terrorist who is behind the underwear bomb plot back in 2009. remember that one? that's when a terrorist tried to blow up a plane with a bomb sown into his underwear. this would be the most senior member of al qaeda to be killed since bin laden in 2011. according to reports his vehicle was attacked by special forces who roped in byç helicopter. 68 al qaeda militants were killed in yemen in airstrikes over the weekend making it the biggest strike against al qaeda since 2012.

we'll keep you posted on more as we get it. this has been more than 45 days since inflammation inflammation -- malaysian flight 370 vanished and there have been no signs. now search crews say they think they have been looking in the wrong place altogether. now they are looking at the possibility that the plane may have landed instead of crashing in the southern indian ocean because they haven't found any debris. villagers in northeast malaysia told police they saw a low-flying aircraft at the same time that flight disappeared. we'll keep watching that story. >> he may call himself an adrenaline junkie but one of the starsç at ice road deadliest roads is under arrest. timothy vicker is accused of threatening to kill a prostitute. the woman says vicker kidnapped her because she stole money from him.

when he told her to call someone to get the money she called the police who tracked him down and arrested him. he is charged with first degree kidnapping and extortion. one year after the deadly bombings ripped through boston, americans take back the marathon.ç >> there's the line. he's across! >> look at that right there. that is the winner, he's 38 years old, meb keflezighi, crossing the finish line in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 36 seconds, a personal best. how does anybody do that, beyond me. great job. he's the first american to win the marathon in three decades. he is an immigrant from eritrea and wore the names of those who died in the bombings last year written on his shirt. >> this is beyond running. it is for boston, for the united states, and for the world. we are resilient. we never gave up. >> also crossing the finish

>> what will occur? >> what we're talking about is a new route for part of the southwestern chief line that runs from chicago to los angeles. there you go. they have to upgrade the track onç the existing line if they want to keep it going for amtrak. that will cost $200 million paid for by three states and two railroad companies. should they pay that money? it's a very lightly traveled route but an iconic route. it provides jobs in those states. are they going to get the money? i say yes they definitely will because no politician will ever willingly close down an iconic piece of track on amtrak and walk away without those votes. they'll never do that. >> if you look at texas and the fact that it's a red state and you have a democratic president, don't you think he could actually do that? >> cut the subsidy? do you think president obama is going to cut a subsidy for amtrak and let them go out of business on

that iconic route? do you think president obama is going to do that? >> you can say it in front think there's a possibility. >> how much has been spent so far? >> let's get to the numbers. amtrak has absorbed $45 billion worth of subsidies since 1970. it has never made a proffer. from 2011 to 2013 it got an average of $407 million a year. it's never made a profit. $407 million a year. >> you know what's interesting about the amtrak chief line that we put up a moment ago, i grew up along that, the blue line on the top through the state of kansas. i honestly don't knowç anybody who ever rode the train. i lived along that line. we would be down in, you know, by the depot and never see anyone get on, nobody ever got off. >> lots of tourists take that route. it is very scenic i am

told, not having taken it myself. and it provides jobs locally in those three states, colorado, new mexico and one other. >> kansas. >> yes, indeed. >> i was just talking about kansas. how could forget kansas. >> i've got to get back to the question. brian, do you think this administration or any politician is going to say we're going to close that line? >> i'm going to take a lesson from dallas's third season. to be continued. >> it was just a dream. >> i thought you were talk being baseball for a second. >> not theç cowboys.

hi everybody. some quick headlines. the numbers of u.s. troops required to train their afghan replacements may be in jeopardy. listen to this. the white house has reportedly been briefed that top troop levels in afghanistan may fall below 10,000. that's the minimum number that's necessary to train afghan troops. the white house reportedly believes afghan forces are now strong enough to allow american troop levels to be reduced to about 5,000. wouldn't it beç nice if they asked the next president first. the marines are looking for a few good terrorists. fake terrorists. they're casting 25 actors to play terrorists in training exercises. to audition, actors must be u.s. citizens and speak a foreign language. chris chulo speaks italian. i think he should try it. elisabeth? >> it's the number one source of antioxidants in the u.s. diet and new research suggests even a few cups of coffee a day can reduce your risk of disease. but how you brew, store and even grind those java beans

can make all the difference in the world. how can you make your coffee work for you today? we are going to ask dr. david samadi exactly that. good morning, doctor. thank you for being with us. you've been a champ of the brewed coffee as far as i can remember. always saying it is a greatç thing. what do we need to know to make it work even more for us in terms of fighting disease. >> i've been a huge advocate for coffee because most studies are showing drinking three to four cups of coffee a day can actually be associated with reducing the risk of diabetes, alzheimer's and even prostate cancer, which is my field. >> it sounds like a lot of coffee. >> it's not for everyone. if a patient has reflux, if they are pregnant, heart issue or high blood pressure, you should stay away from this. it also increasesç the risk of osteoporosis. you have to talk to your doctor. it is a real drug but it is a good stimulant.

the thing about coffee is there is an art behind it as to how to drink it and how to do it. when you have the coffee beans it has a lot of acid. when you roast it, the amount of antioxidant is tremendous. that is why we like it. it can clear free radicals. as you go through your day, part of the aging, years to years the free radicals go up, these are able to clear some of those free radicals in your system. >> you're saying the coffee acts as a sponge to take those free radicals out of your system? >> exactly right. make sure it is a light roast, not dark one because it can burn some of those antioxidants. >> when you store it, does it matter? >> it does. make sure it is aç water-tight -- airtight container because it is really air when it is exposed to this it is going to reduce antioxidants. get a container that is airtight and it's great. invest some money in a grinder.

you want to make sure you grind this right before you actually make the coffee, not before. when you grind it and it is exposed to the air, you lose a lot of antioxidants. invest in one of these grinders for yourself and make sure that you get one of these mocha pots or espresso pots. italians have research and found when you use this, it contains a lot of antioxidants, almost double the amount than when you use other pots. then comes to how do you drink your coffee? tell me. >> i flavor it and put sugar in it and have it exactly how i like it, with milk. is that okay, doctor? >> if it works for you, it's fine. i think the big message for a lot of people is to make sure you drink it without sugar and without milk. ask for black coffee. if you don't like the taste of it because it is bitter, use some of the cinnamon and add a little bit to your coffee and that works really well. >> why? >> i don't want you to drink four cups of coffee

with sugar and milk because that's a lot of calories and not good for you. >> cinnamon does wonders for blood sugar. is that true? >> it is true. that works really well. milk. thank you. a cup of java works for us. dr. samadi. what great news for everybody today. next up on the rundown, kathleen sebelius fumbled the obamacare rollout big time. if that doesn't make you mad enough, this will. why she will be still receiving thousands of dollars funded by you, the taxpayers. a police officer caught on camera tripping and shoving a student. first happy birthday to ourç friend willie robinson. ♪ ♪ ♪

their walks during the snowstorm. >> mayor de blasio is a socialist. flat-out a socialist. here are some of the things he has done. he's got a war on charter schools because he wants to support the unions and the unions are against charter schools. he's fighting stop and frisk. they ended the demographics unit also known as the surveillance program. he supports tax hikes on the rich. he is a soak the rich guy, because they're not paying their fairç share. yesterday he was on "the view" don't we know somebody who used to work on that show, so we're not going to talk to that person about it. she wasn't there. she was preparing for the curvy couch duty. this is as hard a question as they could come up with, and it's -- at the very end of whoopi goldberg's question, she gives him an out. >> when you came into

office you talked about new york being too city slick, the haves and have-nots. do you think the people who made over $500,000 have not contributed much? because that's how it feels and i don't think that's what you mean. >> that's not what i said and not what i meant. i want it to be a city for everyone. a lot of people have been struggling. this economic crisis for the last five or six years i think dislocated people more than has been acknowledged. we have to do things to help people that are struggling to make it. >> whoopi tried to get it in but there was no follow up or mention of the ending of surveillance programs. the taxing was one thing i thought would come up. the effective tax rate was only 8.3% given his policy when it came to his own money. >> take a look at what he has done and earned. look at his adjusted gross income at $165,000. is he almost the 1%? in terms of federal taxç

rate he should be paying $13,715. >> that's what he paid. >> an effective rate of 8.3. >> on the federal tax. >> nothing illegal about that but it goes against what he's been speaking about. >> we featured that last week. i believe he actually paid less than mitt romney. remember during the election, harry reid, mitt romney didn't pay taxes for ten years. as it turns out, mitt romney paid his fair share. yet, mayor de blasio, who as we can see from that number right there, is an expert at tax avoidance. mitt romney actually paid more than that. >> surprisingly that did not make it into their follow-up. the charter schools i thought would be one thing. >> the effect of the charter schools is so much better than the public schools. you only get one chance with your kids, you wouldç hope we would have the best schools possible. >> go to harlem and talk to those parents. >> people want their kids

in those schools. >> i want heather nauert in her place. >> you guys are talking about public servants making a lot of money, we're talking about kathleen sebelius right now. she completely botched the health care rollout but the embattled kathleen sebelius stands to make a pretty penny when she officially steps down. she has pledged to stay on until next week. that is when her replacement is expected to be confirmed by the senate. listen to this. that extra time comes with a major benefit, because adding next week onç to it, it will make her hit her five year mark as a government employee, so that makes sebelius eligible to receive a nice little government pension. so how much money does she stand to make? $10,000 per year for the rest of her life. >> this story is going to get you fired up. a family in new jersey apparently has a lot of time on their hands. they are suing the school district to remove god from the pledge of allegiance. they claim saying under god discriminates against atheists and violates the

more than 3,000 people in the federal prison system are currently serving life without parole for nonviolent drug offenses. many critics say thoseness? s are too harsh. to combat that, the obama administration is offering a get out of jail early card, granting clemency to promise thousands of drug offenders, nonviolent. is it a good idea? joining us, somebody who knows all about sentencing, he's done a lot of it, judge andrew napolitano. >> good morning. >> the president is talk being using his clemency power to go ahead and excuse a lot of nonviolent drug offenders.

what do you think about this? >> first the terms, clemency means you get out of jail with time served. you still have the criminal record and you still have whatever disabilities from that, you can't own a gun, in some states you can't vote. a pardon means a conviction or guilty plea is wiped out and you could answer under oath you had never been convicted -- >> clean slate? >> right. he's offering a clemency. here is what happened. in the past 20 or 30 years o'clock the drug laws got stiffer and people were sentenced to very, very long prison terms for nonviolent possession of drugs, sometimes small time sale. i mean a one off here and a one off there. not part of an organized gang. so most people got 20 years in jail. because of a change in the sentencing guidelines, because the supreme court said judges now have discretion when sentencing, a judge likes discretion, we like to sentence on the basis of the individual and the crime, not some statistic about them, people today committing the same crime

are being sentenced to 15 months of probation. whereas somebody that did the same thing 20 years ago is just finishing a 20-year term. so the president has decided, look, it's costing too much to keep these people in jail. it's nonviolent crimes. they never hurt anybody. it's time to give them a break. >> at the time of their trials, usually what happens is unless they're going to serve life in prison, the time they got, their prison term, was pled down. it was up here and by the time they might go to prison -- >> almost always. sometimes the government overcharges, means charges for a higher crime they can prove because they know the guilty plea will be for a lesser amount. sometimes they get a good deal because the government has a difficult time proving the case. >> one other question, i want you to respond to this. here is an attorney organization says the weaker sentencing guidelines are danger and says we believe our current sentencing laws have kept us safe and should be preserved, not weakened. don't take away our most effective tool to get

cooperation from offenders. >> some of that is accurate because a lot of times -- that's from an organization of prosecutors. prosecutors actually will find a low level person that committed a crime, a drug crime, may just be personal use, and charge them with the highest crime possible 'cause he'll squeeze on the others. that's effective. the other reason those guys don't like that is because fewer prosecutors, this can affect their budgets. >> one final thing, if it's wholesale clemency, that's a problem. >> the law requires the president -- i don't know what he's going to do because he's not great about following the law. the law requires him to look at each case individually. >> thank you very much. straight ahead, are you unhappy with obamacare? just deal with it! >> yeah, you can't keep your crappy plans. you deal with that. >> just deal with that. is that what democrats should tell voters, that outrageous advice from a host on another

>> is this what's going to happen in every state that makes marijuana legal? hey, mornings are better with friends. >> hi, everybody. this is regis philbin and you're watching "fox & friends". >> hi, everybody. hi, regis, thank you very much for being our voiceover guy. it's tuesday, elisabeth is back after a day away. >> i am back. i missed you, even though it was a day. i did miss you all and i'm happy to be back here. i was listening on sunday, debbie wasserman schultz was declaring that the democrats will be victorious in the midterm elections, as you all heard. but there is a recent poll that just came out, fox news poll painting a much different picture and actually links their perceived failure here to obamacare. look at this. when asked if the only difference between potential candidates going forward in the midterm elections, congressional candidates were obamacare,

someone would fight for it or against it, 53% of those that responded said they would side with the person fighting against obamacare. interesting given what was said on sunday. >> it gets worse for democrats. of the independents, 54% of the independents said they would vote -- 54% of those who would vote against a candidate who supported the affordable care act were independent. that's not good news for the democrats going forward. also this is not good news. remember we blew up the health care system in this country for the affordable care act and we heard 8 million people signed up. that's good. of course, we also heard five or 6 million got kicked off. cbo said yesterday at the end of this year, 42 million people will still be uninsured. 42 million. we blew up everything for one or 2 million while 42 million are still going uninsured? that's not what we were sold. >> the good news is it's no longer going to be theory.

there is going to be a election that will matter. if you listen to the president when he spoke on friday, he said he's urging democrats to run on obamacare. listen to debbie wasserman schultz, she says the president of the united states, his popularity will not be an issue because this is about the midterm elections, about democrats and republicans. if you look at steven lynch, a democrat out of boston, massachusetts, told the boston herald, i'm fairly certain based on the poll numbers they're coming out of this election, i think we may lose the senate. this is democrat -- and going to lose some seats in the house due to obamacare. so what is the deal when it comes to that? or when it comes to what you're dealing with in terms of your plan, being able to keep your plan or not keep your plan? will that make or break this? or is there some worthy advice for those of you who are forced to give up your plan? >> i think a what's on the kitchen table, what's affecting the checkbook, how many people have lost their plans certainly play a factor. according to this poll, over half of those, when they looked

at a candidate who was going to fight against it, would side with that candidate running away in the opposite direction of obamacare. listen on msnbc said look, shear what the administration should be doing. they should be walking around with swagger, saying everybody should deal with it. if you lost your plan, too bad. look at her theory. >> going to a falling down, ignoring real problems and declare their work the best thing ever! they have swagger. and then you have the people who will do the more substantial, structural changes. they'll redo the wiring or reinforce the foundation. but they won't do anything to actively court buyers or advertise their work. try as they might, they can't make the house look good. you know, democrats. not even owning it, no! no confidence! no swagger! no, yeah, you can't keep your crappy plan. now the president certainly has some of that swagger. >> it's interesting, she could you can't keep your crappy plans.

actually the president changed the rules at the end of the journey in the last year and said you could keep your crappy plan. so there she is talk being how democrats really should embrace the fact that they changed everything and if you don't like the fact that your premiums are up, too bad. democrats, embrace it. if you don't like it, just deal with it. >> that's crazy. keep in mind, we heard from a ceo from one of the big insurance companies who said that of the people who were kicked off of their previous plan, they had to get new plans, three quarters of them are paying more for coverage that they don't necessarily need under the affordable care act. >> is it something to be mocked? let us know how you feel about that. we're going to change gears and shift to the bundy family ranch. update, they launched a new facebook page, they're fighting to have their cattle, trying to prove to the world that the feds slaughtered their cattle in the very place the federal government was trying to remove

the cows and cliveen bundy was with sean hannity and here is what he had to say about harry reid, calling those that oppose the government terrorists. >> i don't know, it seems like harry has won the civil war. i think he's going to make a lot of noise. i'm calling on the united states congress to pull harry in and straighten him out. i don't think as a congress and -- i don't believe you people would call us terrorists and i don't believe you should allow harry to run free and loose anymore. his mouth needs to be kept quiet and you people need to do it. it's not my job. it's your job to rein him in a little bit. >> so the bundy family has started a facebook page to get the word out on their own. we asked you earlier what you thought about all this. barbara burger tweeted, bundy should pay the grazing fees like the thousands of other ranchers do. of course, mr. bundy says he doesn't recognize the federal government's authority over the

land that his family has grazed on for over 100 years. >> someone says if bundy is the feds' standard for delinquent fee enforcement, then what do they have in store for those who don't pay for the aca? >> interesting. another e-mail coming in from ohio. eric, i know what the problem is. these cattle can't vote for democrats so they must be stopped from trespassing on government land. keep them coming. we love to hear what you think on all sides of that issue. >> sure. 7 minutes after the top of the hour. on this busy tuesday and heather nauert has some news about somebody we've been looking for for a long time. >> that is right. potentially significant, if it's confirmed. al-qaeda's chief bomb maker is believed to have been killed by u.s. backed special forces in yemen. he is a terrorist behind the underwear bomb plot back in 2009. a nigerian man tried to blow up a plane to detroit with a bomb

that was sewn into his underwear. this would be the most senior member of al-qaeda to be killed since osama bin laden back in 2011. according to reports, his vehicle was attacked by special forces who had been dropped in by a helicopter. 68 al-qaeda militants were killed in yemen in air strikes over the weekend, making it the biggest string of strikes against al-qaeda since 2012. we'll keep you posted on the developments as we get them. it has now been more than 45 days since malaysia airlines flight 370 vanished. search crews are now telling reporters that they may have been looking in the wrong place all along. they are now revisiting the possibility that the plane may have landed instead of crashing into the indian ocean. if they don't find any debris in the ocean in the next few days, they say they plan to regroup and shift the search focus. boy, how about that? and a computer meltdown is now crippling the nation's immigration courts, leaving a massive backlog of deportation

cases. according to a new report in the "new york post," the problem began more than a week ago. five servers failed and shut down the entire system and now it won't be fixed for at least two weeks. as a result of this, officials are resorting to old-fashioned methods, including pens, paper, and cassette recorders to try to keep track of all these cases. at least one illegal alien who was deported got to skip a scheduled flight home due to that problem. and we know that president george h.w. bush really likes colorful socks. last month, steve, remember this, showing off your pair of fun socks during your interview? he then surprised her with a pair to give to her husband. very cute. so sweet, steve. >> he's going to keep them, right? >> listen to this, you gave them a great idea because you can now own a pair. the republican national committee sending a free pair of president bush-styled socks to anyone who donates more than 35 bucks and they're embroidered

with his signature. >> what an idea. >> they're not giving away the socks i gave him, are they? >> no. they're very important socks. >> i hope they're in his top drawer. >> i bet they are. >> thank you very much. you think driving cars like this makes you look hot? the answer just in from women and you're going to want to hear it right here. meanwhile, the liberal billionaire who bought his way on the keystone pipeline, think harry reid will call that guy, tom, unamerican? that story coming up [ bubbles, baby giggling ]

benefit themselves and the wealthiest 1%. >> well, you just heard from senator harry reid slam the koch brothers for rigging the system and donating to conservative causes. but what about the billionaires who donate to the left? hedge fund operator and environmentalist tom stier pledged $100 million to help democrats in 2014 in the election, but only if they oppose the keystone pipeline. a decision the president just delayed until after the elections. tom rogen is a columnist for the national review and joins us from d.c tom, would harry reid call mr. stier unamerican, given the fact that's how he labeled the koch brothers? >> well, by the standards that he's previously laid down, he should. but he won't. it's to mr. reid a great patriot that's a delusion of the american political left establishment. >> so there is a little

hypocrisy is there. the good news is for tom stier, while he's putting $100 million in there, as long as democrats support stopping the pipeline, friday, he won. >> he did win. you know, that's the most striking thing. all of the negative campaign ads against the koch brothers have been saying they're trying to buy elections. but if you look at what happened on friday, it's pretty clear that mr. stier has been successful, that he actually has bought presidential policy for $100 million. and it's really pretty striking. >> it is striking. what happens now is the democrats get to have it both ways. they get the $100 million from the billionaire lefty guy, and then at the same time, these 11 senate democrats they can go, well, we're opposed to it, so we're going to do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen. >> right. and they do. i was speaking to a friend of mine who was saying to the election year, what do you expect? but the problem here is that

keystone xl speaks to a lot of the concern for the president on paper says he's in favor of. think about job, investment, even foreign policy, moving european states away from the gas blackmail system that's in place with putin. keystone xl, an american energy revolution, would help advance those interests, and yet the president is evidently playing politics with it. it's a fact. it's not rhetoric, it's the fact. >> so these 11 democrat, senate democrats who i should say they are for the pipeline because they say it would be helpful to my state, although the president goes it can't do that until after the election. what's interesting now is republicans are saying, look, for instance, mary landrieu down in louisiana, she's an ineffective legislator. we got to get rid of her because she says i'm so powerful, i'm on the energy committee. yet if she's so powerful, why doesn't she get harry reid to vote on the darn thing? >> right. i think that speaks to the measure of authoritarianism in congress at the moment.

i would love to be behind the scenes to hear some of those conversations. but it really is -- i mean, especially on the part of senator reid, it really is pretty laughable, to be honest, about the hypocrisy here. i struggle not to -- it's sad as well. >> you know, stop talking like that or harry reid will call awe domestic terrorist. >> he will, i know, yeah. and i'm actually american as well. i grew up in the u.k. i'm on a couple of watch list, i'm sure. >> i'm sure you are. tom rogen, columnist over at national review. thank you very much. >> thank you. 17 minutes after the top of the hour. teaching kids the value of a dollar can be a challenge, but dave ramsey did that with his kids, including his daughter. they have written a book and they're going to show us what worked and what didn't. good morning to both of you. plus, what happens when you take a 14-year-old to a marijuana rally? >> what do you do for job? >> i'm a trust fund kid. i don't do anything. >> what are you doing right now?

>> absolutely. you need to learn to spend and have a good time. we always would get, when they were little, we'd have the dollars all wadded up in a clear jar and let them go down and buy something, that's okay. let them make a few mistakes while they're under your wing. that way when they're 33, they're not still making mistakes. >> rachel, there is a story about when you made one mistake. but what about giving, the importance of handing some over? >> absolutely. when you give money that dad gave you, like when you're walking through the church parking lot, if i hand them money and they put it in the tray, that doesn't do anything. when they work for something and they give it, their hearts change and you're building someone who is generous deep down. >> fantastic book gives guidelines. we want you to send your questions to dave and rachel. they're going to be answering them right now throughout the show and we're going to show them on. hopefully you will have great solutions to parents out there. fantastic book. brian, you're pretty smart. >> thank you very much. that wasn't even in the prompter. that came from the heart.

town, one of our favorite places. >> she's boston strong. >> fantastic day. >> yes. way to go. it feels amazing. >> round of applause for anna kooiman! come on! all right! >> thank you. one more thing that was really cool along the race route. they beefed up security so much, there were 3500 officers patrolling, the commissioner told us. a lot of the runners were high fiving the police officers as they were going by. it was really neat. >> what a day, a day you'll remember the rest of your life. great job. we're all proud of you. thank you. >> thank you. >> good job. >> that was great. from running to standing. we are all here. heather has breaking news. >> this is out of washington. remember the president had promised to have more transparency in his administration and then he went further saying that he will be the most transparent president ever. remember this?

>> transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency. this is the most transparent administration in history. >> so much for that because under new rules by the administration and the nation's intel chief, james clapper, intense employees are banned from speak to go journalists about any intelligence-related matter. only a few select people are authorized to speak to reporters under these new rules and anyone who violates that policy could lose their security clearance or even their job. kathleen sebelius stands to make a pretty penny when she officially steps down next week despite botching the obamacare rollout. she promised to stay on until next week when her replacement is expected to be confirmed by the senate. but listen to this, that extra week of work comes with a major benefit because on april 28, she will hit her five-year mark, which makes her eligible for a government pension. how much taxpayer money does she stand to make? $10,000 per year for the rest of

her life. a portland, oregon mother is suing the police department after they hauled her nine-year-old daughter off in handcuffs. this incident happened last may when portland police arrested a girl a week after she was involved in a minor fight with other kids at a pool. listen to this. >> it was the fact i couldn't protect my daughter from the very people that are supposed to be protecting us. and the same and fear on her face and -- it hurts. >> boy. portland police are not commenting on that matter. there is a new study out, we told you a lot about this, that says pot is really bad for your brain. well, that news is not deterring thousands and thousands of people from attending a massive 420 rally in denver. the first rally since pot became legal in that state was held. paramedics treating more than a dozen people, including four who were taken to detox. jesse watters headed out to

denver to see what our country looks like on pot. >> they just did a study that says just a little bit of weed smoking can kind of hurt your brain. >> wait, what? >> what do you do for a job? >> i'm a trust fund kid. i don't do anything. >> i wake up, fall asleep. wake up, smoke a bowl g to work. >> yeah. okay. some kids were at that rally, as young as 14 years old. denver police issuing 130 citations and also arrests mostly for smoking pot in public because you're not supposed to do that. those are your headlines. pretty interesting. pretty telling to see that. >> smoking pot is bad for your brain, even a little. what? what? thank you, heather. maria molina standing by with the weather, which seems to be look pretty here in new york city. >> yeah, that's right. it feels beautiful this morning. we're in the 50s. not bad for those morning

temperatures. we could even reach possibly 70 degrees here in parts of the northeast. i want to show you current temperatures further west. across texas, it's already a very warm one. you're in the 60s right now. in denver, your current temperature is 50 degrees. out there, this afternoon, they can hit 80 degrees. so again, feeling springlike across the lower 48 for today. we are going to see changes, especially across parts of northeast and great lakes. a cold front could bring showers today, into tomorrow and behind that system we will notice temperatures dropping just a little bit. so we are going to be back to cooler levels for this time of year out there across the great lakes and northeast. center of the country tomorrow, heads up. from texas to nebraska, you could be looking at severe weather with isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail being a concern. so we'll bring you the latest coming up as we head into tomorrow. let's head back inside. >> keep an eye on the sky. thank you very much. >> one of the great political stories that has gotten a lot of the attention and i know new york thinks they're in the

center of things, but it's something to note when you have a mayor take over a city with about 18% of the vote because people decided to stay home and decide to change everything, a city that was one of the great miracles of the last 25 years in terms of what they've done with crime and graffiti and everything else has now become the number one tourist stop in the world and so of course, in our country as well, you have a mayor come in and look at what he's already taken as major issues. at odds with his democratic governor. he's had a war on charter schools, decided that's not really where we should keep focus. shouldn't donate for these schools. >> he's pro-union. >> he's fighting against stop and frisk a pro-active policing element that was somewhat controversial, but upon further review, was unbelievably successful. last week made it clear he was stopping the muslim surveillance program that consisted of 11 agents monitoring those mosques and some activity in the islamic community. >> that's right. so then he actually went on "the

view" and we thought perhaps they would ask about all of this. but there was a slight attempt to get in there and not much follow-up. listen to the mayor's visit. >> when you came into office, it seemed like you talked a lot about new york being two cities with the have and the have notes and i just wanted to know, do you really think that the people who have made over $500,000 have not contributed much, 'cause that's how it feels, and i don't think that's what you mean. >> that's not what i said and it's not what i meant. i want it to be a city for everyone. what i'm trying to say is a lot of people have been struggling. this whole economic crisis, dislocated people, more than that has been acknowledged and what i said is we have to do some things to help people who are struggling to make it. >> okay. so that's what he says on television. but the facts are, he's soaked the rich guy. people who make more, a lot of people i know of are thinking about moving out of new york city and moving out of new york state because taxes are too high. what's interesting, though, is mr. de blasio has cleverly

figured a way to avoid paying many taxes. his adjusted grass income for last year, $165,000. look at that. he's almost a 1%er. but he only paid 13,000 in federal tax, which is effective federal tax rate of 8.3%, which is as things go, very, very low. >> it's going to come up, though. >> it seems he's taken a loft -- lot of writeoffs. >> the truth hurts. >> you're not special. you're not exceptional. >> that man, the famous for his tough love graduation speech here next. and he didn't stop, he didn't look, he didn't listen. one man's brush with death caught on camera. what is he doing on the track? oh, my goodness! >> oh, but first, "fox & friends" question of the day. born on this date in 1937, this

this year? and i said, i just did it a few years ago. she said please? i said okay. so my daughter had a soccer tournament in new jersey that weekends and so i mulled as i drove and she did homework and the next morning i got up and out it came. >> how are you going to make that speech different than the one you gave a couple years earlier? >> i thought about the event. i thought about to whom i would be speaking. i realized that everyone is dressed the same in this ceremonial costume, which eliminates individuality. each kid crosses the stage in alphabetical order. everybody gets the same diploma. they're on a level playing field. what does all that say? it says that you're not special. that anything you might have achieved in the building doesn't matter anymore. the ceremony after all is commencement, it's beginning. everyone is starting afresh. >> risky at the time because

>> what does it cost to check a bag these days? twenty-five dollars, maybe 50 bucks? here is what you get, though. the new video shows airline workers right here in canada throwing luggage off the side of a jet bridge, so you're paying for this. this is hardly unusual. in fact, in 2013, nearly 2 million bags were lost, damaged or destroyed. that's 40% higher than the year before. and just this week, according to usa today, which is a daily, airlines rank below the irs in customer satisfaction. so how can you keep your luggage safe? travel expert and founder of

travel pulse mark murphy is here to tell us. average bags, they're going to be put lieu some stress? >> right. we tossed this one, so you take this bag, boom, that's what happens. >> right. >> i apologize over there. so that's what's happening to them. so this is like a $60 bag. that bag is probably going to survive two or three trips and then it will come out and have handles broken and everything else. that's what you got to think about when buying luggage. spend a little bit more money. get something that's going to hold up. >> so when i saw that footage, i know the guy was fired for tossing the luggage. i expect my luggage will be tossed like -- >> i don't mind it tossed a few feet, but 20 feet? >> can you show me what to do inside the bag? number one, won't put waterford crystal inside the bag. >> people are pack computers and fragile items. don't put anything that could be broken or fragile in there. that's number one. number two, get a case that's reinforced. the thing about this -- >> they do charge you now for

carry-ons and they're getting harder and harder. >> on some airlines. >> yeah. now you're forced to put more in the big bag. >> with this one, this has external wheels. sometimes they get broken because they're exposed. get something that has internal wheels. even if do you this, that's this big and you open it up and you take a look at what's inside, it's just a big shell. it's got this little extra area. so it's a big shell. but it's reinforced. >> so it's reinforced. i should feel good about this? >> yeah. this one will hold up. it's reinforced on the corners and that's where it's going to take the beating. 'cause the wheels are exposed, you have a risk of the wheels broken off. but this comes with a warranty. so if it gets busted, no problem. >> but if the stuff is busted inside, you're out of luck. >> you're out of luck. the liability of the airlines is limited. >> you got a small bag, can you carry this? >> you can carry it on. and it expands. i have took a seven-day trip, believe it or not, and i carried it on. see the wheels?

they're recessed. it's less likely these wheels will get damaged. any time you have an exposed part of the bag, that's what you have to worry about. >> one time i got, somehow my jeans got out of the bag, got torn up, i got $25. is there any recourse if my stuff is smashed? >> the liability is very capped. it might be $400, depending on the airline. this bag costs 500 bucks. if they lose this bag with all your content, the limit is 400 bucks. that wouldn't even replace the cost of the bag. >> i learned i should assume my bag will be tossed around. so you got to get a bag for a few extra dollars. >> that's right. >> coming up, the comments the white house doesn't want you to hear this morning. why some of the president's biggest supporters are calling him gutless. but i beat him fair and square in a race here on the plaza. when mario lopez' hamstring went

decades. but not before i beat him in a foot race a short time ago right here in new york city. he joins us live. >> wouldn't let him pass! >> i was faster. i didn't touch him. you'll get the inside story and see the entire race, but not the whole 26.2 miles. mornings are better with friends. >> i'm stacy dash, you're watching "fox & friends" and they are not cruising. >> there you go. stacy dash on our show a couple weeks ago. stacy dash, you are dashing down the block. it's all connected. >> i thought you checked -- >> let's look. the big story behind the story was mario lopez was supposed to race him and we thought it would be great. but he comes out and he says, my hamstring is bothering me. and chris chulo leans over and says, brian, why don't you race? and mario goes, yeah, why don't

you race? so then i have to race and i make history as i gently put him into the brick wall and he wasn't able to catch me. >> do you really think you could have gotten more than two miles at that pace? >> no, no. that's slow for me. >> we're going to ask mev. he's going to join us. >> see if he has a different take on that. what a galore-filled day for him. to win that race as a naturalized citizen. >> first american male to win it in 31 years. meanwhile, two minutes after the top of the hour. we've been recapping some of the crazy things that debbie wasserman schultz said over the weekend. one of the things she said on "meet the press" was democrats are going to win big during the mid terms despite the conventional wisdom that shows that because of obamacare, they're going to take a beating. she says democrats are going to do okay. unfortunately, if you are debbie wasserman schultz or in her

office, turn off the tv because we've got bad news, it's perceptional reality. the reality is majority of americans don't think that's the case. >> obamacare is going to big, big playmaker moment here. according to a new fox poll, just released, it asked voters what they would do, the only difference between two congressional candidates was whether they would fight for obamacare or fight against it. when asked 53% said they would go with the candidate who will fight against obamacare. interestingly enough, of that number, 54% of those were independent. so a huge chunk there that will consider obamacare as a decision maker moving into the midterm election. >> 54% of those who would vote against a candidate who supported the affordable care act were also independent. so this is going to -- if the president is correct, he says the longer we have it, the more popular it will be. so let's see if it really picks up steam in august. >> the longer we have it, the longer we're going to be paying higher premiums, unfortunately,

for three quarters of the people who have the new policies, according to one of the ceo's we talked about. on one of the other cable channels, the woman's name is melissa harris perry, what she said is this thing is working. but the democrats, they've got to grow a pair essentially, i'm paraphrasing -- and get tough and they need to show that this is something that is a great accomplishment. and she made her case by creating an illusion as if you're fixing up a house to sell. >> falling down, blighted house, ignoring real problems and declare their work the best thing ever! they have swagger. and then you have the people who will do the more substantial, structural changes. they'll redo the wiring or reinforce the foundation. but they won't do anything to actively court buyers or advertise their work. try as they might, they can't make the house look good. , you know, democrats. not even owning it.

no swagger! no, yeah, you can't keep your crappy plans! you deal with that. the president has swagger. >> he's got swagger. now people have to deal with their crappy plans and now many people have to deal with a $6,000 deductible that they never had before. >> right. the theme song being if you're unhappy and you know it, just deal with that. >> clap your hands. >> that was the president's theme on friday. he said look, i have over 8 million people signed up for all those nay sayers, bring it on and democrats, run on it. congressman lynch in massachusetts says we're going to -- we could lose the senate and we're going to lose additional seats in the house simply because of obamacare. very rare when democrats, especially in massachusetts, say things like that. one of the biggest issues over the last maybe 4 1/2 years really 5 1/2, it's really starting to come into the public forum about four years ago, the keystone pipeline, the pipeline that will bring 500 to 800,000-barrels of oil to the u.s. from canada on a daily

basis and bring thousands of jobs once we start building it. but there has been a holdup. there has been a 5 1/2-year study about the environmental impact on this pipeline. the president said give me 'til middle of may. give me 'til the beginning of may and we'll get the public comments in and green light it. last week he said i'm going to delay it longer. we need more information. it just so happens that that more information in that court case he was concerned about will all come due after the midterm election. >> on good friday, that news came forward into the front. certainly bad news for unions here. the general president of international union of north america, he had this to say in opposition to the delay. this is once again politics at its worst. in another gutless move, the administration is delaying a finding whether the pipeline is in national interest based on months old litigation based on a state level process.

they waited until good friday, believing no one would be paying attention. the only surprise is that they didn't wait to too it in the dark of the night. it's not the oil that's dirty. it's the politics. >> what's at play here is this billionaire lefty, tom spier, he said i'll donate $100 million to make sure democrats win in november. but here is the thing, you can't vote for the keystone pipeline. so then you've got a bunch, i think 11 democrats in the u.s. senate, they have said, we won't vote for the pipeline. we think it would be -- rather we would vote for it. we think it would be great for our state. they're trying to have it both ways. it's clearly political and that's what tom rogen earlier from national review said on this program. >> i was speak to a friend of mine who was saying to the election year, what do you expect? the problem here is that keystone xl speaks to a lot of concerns that the president on paper says he's in favor of. think about jobs, investment, even foreign policy, moving

european states away from the gas blackmail system that's in place with putin. keystone xl, an american energy revolution, would help advance those interests and yet, the president is evidently playing politics with it. it's a fact. it's not rhetoric. it's a fact. >> there are a number of democrats, including mary landrieu from louisiana, what she's saying is -- she's democrat. you got to keep me in the u.s. senate, louisiana, because i'm effective as a legislator. here is the problem. if she was effective as a legislator, the republicans now say, then she would get her boss in the u.s. senate, harry reid, to bring it up for a vote, but she's not going to do it. now the republicans are saying, you got to get rid of her. you need somebody who can get something done. >> keystone delay, drilling, a divide in the democratic party for now. heather nauert is standing by with the latest headlines. >> yes. we're watching news from overseas. talking about the guy who was one of the most wanted by u.s.

intelligence. al-qaeda's chief bomb maker. according to a new report, may have been killed by u.s.-backed special forces in yemen in some sort of a joint raid. there's a new report in today's daily mail that indicates this. he is behind the underwear bomb plot back in 2009. remember when a nigerian guy tried to blow up a plane to detroit with a bomb sewn into his underwear? if he is confirmed dead, he would be the most senior member of al-qaeda to be killed since osama bin laden in 2011. according to reports, his vehicle was attacked by special forces who had been dropped in by helicopter. this comes as 68 al-qaeda militants were killed in air strikes in yemen over the weekend, making it the largest string of air strikes against al-qaeda since 2012. we'll keep you posted on this. other folks in washington continue to work the details on this story. more than 45 days since malaysia airlines flight 370 vanished search crews telling

reporters that they may have been looking in the wrong place all along. they are now apparently revisiting the possibility that the plane may have landed instead of crashing into the indian ocean. if they don't find any debris in the ocean in the next few days, they say they'll regroup and shift the focus of their search. wow. we'll keep watching that story as well. you know this tv show "ice road drivers," they're known for loving their drama. >> i'm a general junky and i'm going to try anything once. >> this morning, he's trying some jail time. timothy is accused of kidnapping, beating and threatening to kill a las vegas prostitute. the woman says that he kidnapped her because she stole money from him. when he told her to call someone to get money, she apparently gave him the number of a cop she knew who tracked him down and then arrested him. talk about a real buzz kill, the government is taking back its approval of powdered

alcohol. it appears that it was approved by mistake, according to the government. to make a drink with this stuff, you just need to add water to a powder and you can make instant rum, vodka, and some other mixed drinks. the alcohol company says it plans to refile for approval. those are your headlines. >> that would be strange. >> it would be very strange. >> whip up some vodka like you would tang. >> game changer. thanks, heather. >> remember tango was a screwdriver. straight ahead, president obama loves the word recovery. >> we can't be satisfied with just recovering. you're part of one of the great turn around stories of this economic recovery. we got to make sure this recovery leaves nobody behind. >> well, top democrat strategist telling the president to cut it

out. that word just doesn't work. >> so which words will you hear? peter johnson, jr. is going to break that down next on that board. a leopard on a rampage breaks through a roof. >> how did you tape this? >> i have a good phone in pursuit of all things awesome, amazing, and that's epic, bro, we've forgotten just how good good is. good is setting a personal best before going for a world record. good is swinging to get on base before swinging for a home run.

you can't be satisfied with just recovering. you're part of one of the great turn around stories of this economic recovery. we got to make sure that this recovery leaves nobody behind. >> president obama seems to love the term, economic recovery. but a new memo from top democratic strategist says stop saying recovery. it paints the phrase as a political loser heading into the 2014 elections because there has been no recovery.

the memo also says the more powerful set-up for democrats' economic message is the contrast with ceos and the 1%ers whose income soars, while everybody else just gets by. what will democrats say? peter johnson, jr. is here. >> and it is a set-up because you won't hear from the democrats numbers. you'll hear concepts and attacks. let's look at the numbers. 6.7%. that's the unemployment rate. 3.74 million. that's long-term, chronic unemployment. six months or more. most of those people will not find full time employment. only 63% of americans are in the work force now. near all-time low. one out of seven americans are on food stamps. and 51%. that's the -- >> that's all bad news! >> there is trouble in river city called america. does that equal recovery? in the democrats' mind and anyone's mind, no, does not equal recovery.

what equals recovery? what words will you be hearing when you're not hearing these numbers? 6.7, 4 million. recovery equals division, divide the country. turn the americans against each other, say you're richer than i am. you're a republican. we're not voting for you. redistribution. obamacare. say obamacare is really about redistributing wealth in this country as much as they don't want to say obamacare. the 1%. they're your problem. it's not your not having a problem. it's not not providing food, 1%. and when it gets really dicey, say, i'm getting picked on because of my race. the attorney general is saying it. the president made some elliptical reference to it. really it's all about race. when it gets really nasty, blame these folks, the koch brothers. they're the source of all your problems. >> your go-to. >> they made up stuff about people who can't get health

care. when we're going to go portion we're going to say we're going to move forward in this country. when really in doubt, green energy. remember all those green energy jobs that didn't show up? this is the future of america. so mr. green berg and mr. carr will have it absolutely right. don't talk about numbers. talk about concepts. talk about enmity. talk about envy. talk about people not liking each other and the republicans are to blame for that. gridlock in america, not because of chronic unemployment, not because one in seven are on food stamps, but because of the koch brothers and because of the 1%. those dastardly folks that are turning this economy upside down. this does not equal recovery. that's why the dems won't be talking about those numbers. >> you know with a? i think you have just laid out the road map on what we're going to see in november. >> unfortunately. let's talk about issues. numbers count. >> very nicely done. >> people count. >> they do indeed. thank you very much.

and a couple's on-line contract to name their baby backfires when internet voters picked the name of a science fiction monster. they went with the second choice, which was amelia savannah joy. i believe you're obligated to go with that. for more on that, here is arthur idalla. >> the obama administration is looking to expand clemency rules for nonviolent drug offenders. take a listen. >> the white house has indicated it wants to consider additional clemency applications to restore a degree of justice, fairness and personality for observing individuals who do not pose a threat to public safety. justice department is committed to recommending as many qualified applicants as possible for reduced sentences. >> so is this another case of

legal insanity? joining me now, psychiatrist and fox news contributor, dr. keith ablow and fox news legal analyst, arthur aidala. good idea, bad idea? is this just insane? >> as a current defense attorney who deals with this, i will tell you that the obama administration's position and here in new york city, the de blasio position and certain district attorneys who said they're not going to prosecute marijuana, it's having real effects. in other words, you walk around the streets outside the studio, you're getting back to pre-rudy guiliani days where people are now strolling smoking marijuana. so this is actually happening. like that's enough where people are strolling smoking marijuana. >> because why? the fear was -- >> they would be arrested. you will get locked up! what the obama administration is saying now that back in the '80s during the crack wars, the laws were changed and people who got caught with crack did get crazy, wild long sentences.

ten years, 15 years. >> versus? >> versus powder cocaine where you got a much lower sentence. so now they want to reexamine all of this and basically give the keys to the people who are in jail only for their crack convictions. >> this isn't about strolling down the street with marijuana or not. this isn't about crack versus powdered cocaine only. this is about the fact that i've testified in cases in which people's lives were ruined by getting sentences that were given out like candy. you've got this much cocaine, they go down a chart. they're like, that looks like 17 years. 17 years? this is somebody who didn't punch anybody, who happened to be a drug addict, needed help. 17 years. you ruined a life. and this guy is the guy you should call for that to defend these people and rightfully so because the government was out of control. >> if they're a drug addict, i think almost anybody agrees with you, the most conservative law enforcement people are now in your camp. >> would say that there is

rehab? >> correct, yes. absolutely. especially people who have already served a long time in jail. it's the dealers. one of the obama administration's criteria, there cannot be any violence. but a lot of times the kingpins were not violent. i was paying you to be my leg breaking guy. >> i said marijuana legalization looks like trouble and certainly clemency could look like trouble of the but guess what? it's the right thing. this presumption that the dealers were paying people to be leg breakers, they were calling people dealers who had an ounce of this or that who were going to use it with their next-door neighbor or who had been coerced into getting a shipment by somebody who was tattle taling on other people and ruined lives. >> is this closing the gap between the crimes that were given sentences, having to do with that powdered cocaine versus -- >> that's exactly it. in the '80s, when they upped the crack cocaine sentences, it was proven by a landslide,

african-americans -- caucasians used powder cocaine of the a white person gets caught with powder cocaine, a black person gets caught with cocaine, it's a longer sentence. >> this is not a racial issue because god forbid it could be my son or your son. if they were given 15 years for possession of co- crane, crack or powder, guess what? you just ruined my family and it didn't have to happen. >> something to chew on. we'll leave it there. we want to know what you think. >> we're not going to chew on it. i don't know what the sentence is. >> let them all free. >> send us your e-mails, tweets, posts on that one. i'm sure you have a lot to say there. in other news, this video is sparking other outrage. a cop caught on camera tripping and shoving a student who was storming the field. now that officer is put on leave. is that fair? plus, brian claims that he beat

their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and it comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include

swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

conspiracy theorists are claiming they have spotted the loch ness monster on apple maps. it turned out it was just a car that drove into the lake because it was using apple maps. make a left -- >> my bad. >> just like that. i like apple maps. they work out okay. >> they work for me. >> i use siri, i say where is the closest dunkin doughnut, there it is. >> how do you use that? >> really? >> yeah. i got the iphone and everybody says you don't need directions. nobody ever told me how to use this thing. i do the same thing every time. >> the question is, are you lost or do you get where you need to go? >> what do you do? >> siri, call kathy doocy mobile.

can't listen to the number. siri, call kathy doocy mobile. that's how we dial my wife. >> that's great. >> siri, can heather bring us headlines? >> calling kathy doocy mobile. >> why does she listen to you and not me? this always happens with her. she's got issues with women, i think siri does. >> then my wife will tell me where the closest dunkin' donuts is. >> that's good. >> i love it. on the delay, we'll throw it over to heather. >> hi there. >> siri didn't want to talk to me. >> that's how women are sometimes. sometimes we don't like to talk to men. >> testy. >> good morning to you. let's talk about some politics and things are getting a little ugly between two men in maryland. some political mud slinging reaches a new low in that state. a democratic candidate for governor suggesting that his opponent, an iraq war veteran, is not up for a real job. listen to this.

>> oh, boy. that is maryland attorney general and he is taking some real heat from veterans right now who call that comment slime ball politics. he is defending his comments, saying his opponent was part of maryland's obamacare exchange problem. he said, quote, the point i was trying to make is that anthony brown's only attempt to lead as lieutenant governor was the unmitigated debauchle of the health exchange. they face off in the primary june 24. things getting ugly down there. this next story is going to get you fired up. a family in new jersey is suing a school district to remove god from the pledge of allegiance. they claim that saying under god discriminates against atheists and violates the constitution. the school's district attorney says it is following a state law that requires students to say

the pledge daily, but individual students, by the way, do not have to participate in that. what do you think of that? and it was a sweet victory turned sour. take a look at this video. seconds after the girls soccer team won the texas state championship over the weekend, students started rushing onto the field and that's when the school resource officer, george bermudas, who is supposed to help maintain order, stepped in and tried to stop them. he tripped one student, bear hugged another to try to get them to leave the field. he's now on paid leave while georgetown police investigate what went on. look at this. panic in the streets of india. a frightened leopard bursting from the roof of a house. can you imagine that? you're standing on a roof and this thing pops up. one guy was bitten on the rear end as the others tried to get away. the leopard took off near an -- on a nearby street when it was cornered in a bathroom and

eventually captured. wow. they say it will be released into the wild. look at that little thing there. stay away from that. those are your headlines. >> thank you very much. after the streets -- out to the streets, maria molina with the weather. >> good morning. a very spring-like day across the country today with temperatures that are very mild. we could reach 70 degrees potentially here in new york city. it's already a beautiful morning out here with some sunshine and it feels very pleasant. take a look at areas farther west. in texas it will be heating up into the 90s, upper 90s in the city of phoenix. you're close to 100 degrees out there. across the east, we are going to have a cold front moving eastward and it could produce light showers today and behind that system, you are going to notice temperatures a little bit cooler tomorrow across parts of the midwest and also into the northeast. new york city, you'll be in the 50s by then. by the way, coming up tomorrow, anywhere from texas up into nebraska, we do have a slight chance for severe weather. keep an eye to the sky. let's head back inside. >> all right, thank you very

much. >> thanks. one year after terrorist bombs ripped through the boston marathon, the city has bounced back and an american took home the title. >> he sees it coming. there is the line. he's across. >> tears of joy from meb keflezighi, the first american won the race. in 1985, the first to do that since then and the first man since 1983. we are thrilled and honored that he joins us now from boston. congratulations, meb. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> so a year ago you were unable to run the race. you were injured. you sat there at the finish line rooting people on. how special is this win? >> it's a very special race because since i got injured, after that i said i got to be

able to do something, just like the red sox did and i know that it was a fem national job setting the stage for us. and i competed to win. i gave it everything i had and i'm happy to say that i came out with a victory not just for myself, but for boston and for the whole world and the usa. >> last year you left five minutes before the explosion. tell us what it was like, meb, as you were running down boylston street toward the finish line, all the people cheering, all the people with the signs. tell us about how you felt. >> i felt really good. but last year was about the same thing. it was beautiful like it was yesterday until the bomb exploded. i missed it by five minutes. then all of a sudden, everything changed that stopped traffic. we can't help anything, but yesterday cheering boylston street and i said god, give me the strength to finish because a guy was chasing me down.

it was phenomenal to chant usa, usa, usa. and everybody was happy for an american to win it and it was beyond my dreams. >> it was an exceptional moment for the world, the country, and you and your family. we had some footage here and we saw how much faith plays into your running and life. but how much did training against brian in a race that you had here on the plaza, how much of that factored into your victory, because we think he cheated a little bit. >> but i won. >> no. all the training that i did with brian a few years ago helped me be who i am and he pushed me a little bit and i was ready for a little fight. but you know what? it was awesome and sometimes it takes a moment to celebrate. it was a great win yesterday for me. >> rightright. you came in very cocky and i had to humble you.

everybody knows that. only kidding. that was a lot of fun and i cheated. but yesterday not only did you win, you ran a personal best. was this watch broken? did you have a moped through some of that? >> i did a boston marathon, it was my third time. i was third and fifth place, in 2010 after i won new york. but third time was a charm. i always believed i could run fast. i never had the opportunity to run on the fast course. yesterday if i can win it, i want to be on the podium if i can't be, i want to go for a personal best. if i run the personal best to give to the city, that's all i could ask for and guess what? all of the three happened. i won, i ran a personal best and i couldn't be happier. everything happens in god's time because what happened last year, how devastating it was and to be able to come and an american win it and give a little light to the city and the united states and the world is amazing. >> very nice. >> when you raised your hands in celebration, victory, it was a

victory for freedom. congratulations. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. >> you bet. straight ahead on the rundown, the battle between the bundies out west and big government is no holds barred. >> these people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. they're nothing more than domestic terrorists. >> who is the domestic terrorist? did you see we the people with guns or did you see the united states government with guns? >> well, our next guest says it's the government. not the people, who is growing out of control. mark stein on the cattle battle next. >> and how many crazy pairs of socks does president h.w. bush have? enough to sell them. that's the answer. we'll tell you how you can get a pair yourself up next

people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons. i go to angie's list to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i like the fact i can go onto angie's list and look for pediatricians. the service providers that i've found on angie's list actually have blown me away. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list.

angie's list -- reviews you can trust. 15 minutes to the top of the hour. now the news by the numbers. first, less than 10,000. that's the number of u.s. troops that may remain in afghanistan by the end of this year. this despite a report showing the afghan government cannot succeed on its own. next, $123.2 million. that's how much the department of health and human services spends a year on e-mail services for its employees. that's over $1,700 a person. finally, $35. that's how much you can donate to the rnc to get a pair of colorful socks just like the ones president george h.w. bush wears. they are embroidered with his signature there. brian, you going to get some of those socks yourself. >> i hope so. it seems as though if he would sign them for me. >> i think he would personalize them. >> we'll see if they shrink and

easy to match. thanks. last night cliven bundy responding to harry reid's latest attacks. >> these people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. they're nothing more than domestic terrorists. >> who is the domestic terrorist here? did you see we the people with guns or did you see the united states government with guns? we just wanted you to disarm the army and get out of our state and start acting like citizens of the united states. >> wow. is boppedy right? are americans getting tired of government overreaching? joining us is the author mark stein. in the big picture, what do you think this symbolizes with the cattle battle and if you factor in the irs and other things? >> i loath paramilitaryized -- i don't think they should have a personal army n. this country the library of congress has a swat team.

the u.s. education secretary is the only education minister in the civilized world with his own swat team. he used it to kick down the door of some guy in california over a college loan. kicked down the wrong door, handcuffed the wrong guy. nevertheless, he had his own personal swat team. the bureau of land management should not be able to deploy the kind of armed force at the bundy ranch that is entirely absent when you actually need it, like in benghazi. if they had that fire power at benghazi, the ambassador would still be alive. >> here are the federal agencies with arms of law enforcement. actually i didn't know the federal land management had one, but now i do. food and drug administration has that, put down that flank steak. department of education, the fish and wildlife service, leave that trout alone. and department of agriculture. >> yeah. they've all got them. when they did the gibson guitar factory over some import thing last year, they basically had an

armed raid on -- don't take a knife to a guitar fight. >> what's the significance of this? do you believe people's perception seems to have changed as the government as a protecter and more of a threat? >> yeah. i know the difference between dictatorships and the united states. i'm choosing my words carefully here. when you look at the amount of power they brought to bear on a cattle grazing dispute, so-called, there is something despotic about it. and i think that's really the issue here. if it's a policing issue, if it's an enforcement of a court order, go to a judge, you get a court order and get a policeman to serve it. you don't have your own personal military force doing that. >> right. and usually michael jackson, we could understand. he needed an entourage. look at this poll now, why do you think it's so different from 2012 how we viewed individuality and the use of government as a

threat? you asked people today is the government a threat or protector? 54% say threat. 22% say protector. it was a dead heat in 2012. >> right. i think the idea that if the irs has a dispute with you over $2,000 worth of taxes, they can kick your door down. somebody had a swat raid out in indiana over loose leaf tea which they mistaken for marijuana. this is not something that -- i mean, i personally, the bureau of land management, which is an agency most of us had never heard of until a few weeks ago, owns an area the size of france, germany and italy combined. what it runs in nevada alone is the size of the united kingdom. that's ridiculous. >> that is probably the issue to come out of this that people should look at. what is federal land and why. always good to see you and some day you really will mean it.

>> i mean it. >> coming up, steve will be reading the teaser? go ahead, steve. thanks for the blessing. teaching kids the value of a dollar can be a challenge. but dave ramsey did it with his kids and knows what works. next, he's answering your financial questions and looking in your wallet. martha mccallum is coming up next and she's planned a great show. that's according to my sources. >> that's right. good morning. we've got brand-new polls that show independents could be shifting right. we're going to show you those numbers. and new tax revenue shows that the government raked in more of your dollars than ever this april 15th. so how is it that we are so deep in debt? and are republicans winning over the unions? health care and keystone, have unions calling this administration gutless. coming up at the top of the coming up at the top of the hour, bill and i will see you. then.

teaching kids the value of a buck can be a challenge. but dave ramsey did it with his very own daughter, rachel, who is sitting right next to me. >> they've been here all morning answering your e-mails and look at this picture. how cute. are you six there? >> yes. just about, five or six. >> and dave looking good. kind of different there. >> i had my suspenders and hair. >> and you were just as smart then as you are now. let's see if you can answer some of these tweets and e-mails. for example, how about this question? what percentage of your child's weekly earnings should they save? >> i would say it's not really a percentage. you want them to give, save and spend. so as a parent, you can dictate those percentages, but teach them the principle. they need to learn all three things, give, save and spend. >> every time money comes in, do all three. >> exactly. >> another tweet, at what age is a good age to start teaching the envelope system?

i know rachel, you went on a holiday once and blew all the money in the envelope? >> i did. three envelopes, giving, spending and saving. let your kids do all three things. i took my spend envelope to a carnival and dad told me once the money is gone, it's gone. >> did you punish her? >> no, i made her live without money for the rest of the day. her lip out, like she was in congress or something. >> your kids learn money is finite. >> it's age appropriate. sometimes you rescue them. that's grace. and then sometimes you let them have a little bit of natural consequences for the stupid behavior and let them feel the pinch. so you got to have a little of both as you lovingly parent. >> the best guidelines when it comes to money. we have jeff carter who is tweeting, i have two sons, 25 and 22, they seem it have no concept of money and budgeting. how can i help them? is it too late? >> it's never too late. if they're out of the house, like all of our grown kids are, then you treat them like friends. and you would persuade them.

like if i was sitting down with a buddy and persuade to get on a plan. if they're under your roof, it becomes a different deal. >> at 22. >> at 22 or 25 or whatever then, in order to stay here, these are some of the things you're going to do. you're going to do these things. >> but give us a number. at what age should you start doing it with your kids? >> teaching kids about money? >> yeah. >> four: four or five. just a little bit of love and a little bit of picking up your toys, a little bit of giving and then you get more and more and more intense as the age goes on. the idea is we're trying to prepare them to launch. >> absolutely. >> you did with that rachel. the book is "smart money, smart kids." thank you very much. >> thank you. >> more "fox & friends" moments away. stay with us.

the ramseys will be in the after the show show with elisabeth hasselbeck. >> yeah. talking smart kids and smart money. tomorrow will be a great day. cheryl casone, child star veterans. bill: vice president joe biden in kiev announcing $50 million in aid for ukraine and telling moscow, quote, it's time to stop talking and acting. what does that mean? brand-new fox polling showing obamacare will have a major impact on voters come november. 73 per se the candidate's position on the law will
