action. why they say it was necessary to pat down those nice children. regardless of what we just said, mornings are better >> hear ye, hear ye. this is the town crier. you are watching "fox & friends." >> town criers if they are true town criers shouldn't have to say they're town criers. we should know there is a guy yelling. >> he was on the street right there in new york city. you've got to announce you're a town crier. otherwise you could be arrested for a myriad of things. >> or you get a name tag. >> we have a fox news alert. you areç looking at the place president obama landed starting a week long tour of kwraeurb. -- asia. he is scheduled to visit japan, malaysia and the philippines. however, he will not visit

china. >> but china will be the topic of discussion as he stops in those nations. no formal summits planned. a lot of one on one. >> the president continues his trip over there. according to to the wire reports, it was an uneventful flight. this is not uneventful. do you have disciplinary problems at work, do you have big problems with your boss? maybe forgot to pay your taxes. give that guy a bonus. that's how the i.r.s. is operating.ç almost $3 million paid out in bonuses and $1 million to people who actually owed back taxes. wait a minute, the i.r.s. is in charge of the taxes and yet they're giving bonuss to people who are breaking the law. >> a report found more than 1,100 employees who had tax compliance issues were awarded more than $1 million and more than 10,000 hours in time off rewards for a total of 20

i.r.s. employees, over 27,000 hours of time off. >> this is the treasury inspector general, j. russell george, he was testifyingç all those times about what went wrong with the i.r.s. before and in between. now he looked into the bonus problems and sees problems with rewarding mediocrity. i do say this. i love when government agencies have a little bit of the free market push in them. i like when people who do jobs that are salaried have incentive to do that job better. i think that's fundamental to our system. however, you should actually have a system that rewards the sense saeurbl worker, not one that shows up especially in a year like this. >> how many regular americans have seen a bonus during the obama years. here's the i.r.s. which over the last couple of years has been accused of cracking down on conservative organizations, things like that. and yet, the same outfit that apparently has given

out a bunch of bonuses to people who don't pay theirç taxes. that is delicious irony. >> particularly when their mainstay argument there and duty is to get americans to pay their taxes. and the idea of having integrity with your money on to something that is both. but $2.8 million in bonuses is a bonus and incentive to do more wrong than good. >> i wonder if they got a double bonus if they bag a conservative. >> no. but you would get a bonus perhaps if you work for c.m.s. if that didn't make you upset listen to this. an estimated 200 c.m.s.ç workers received raises between 2012 and 2013. the average per person was $4,706. >> c.m.s. is the centers nor medicare and medicaid services. these are the people who launched and managed the affordable care act. how well did that go? not very. but once again, they're getting bonuses too. >> that was the ground

floor operation crew to get obamacare off and running, and they actually are, as we are finding out now, getting bonuses. >> it is as if at the end of the maiden voyage the captain of the titanic got a merit raise. >> let us know what you think about that. it means they're getting a bonus from the american people. >> symbolically getting a raise for not doing very well is kind of bizarre. at five minutes after hour we're going to listen to heather. >> i've got news to bring you. this one comingç from overseas. we've got new news this morning about that ferry sinking. two more members from the south korean ferry that sank are behind bars. this brings the total number to arrested or detained to 11. one of those saying by the time the distress call was made from that ship the boat was too tilted to reach the lifeboat. yet what is ironic is that is how crew members got off. at least 150 people are dead, 150 others are still

subzero temperatures with very little oxygen. >> is this proof of the lock -- ness monster? enthusiasts from all over the world examined the picture hoping to shed light on the mystery. i don't see anything there. it could be the moon for all we know. but the photo has been debunked. >> what do you think? >> i think it is a giant catfish. somebody said i'm going to circle that andç give heather a final story. >> that could be anything. that could have been a sonogram, a picture of the moon. >> a sonogram? congratulations, ma'am, you're having a carp. all right. let's go over to the windy city of chicago. over the easter weekend 45 people were shot, 9 people were killed. it's interesting, out there the people in the police

administration, they're saying we made a lot of progress in the last year or so. but as it turns out according to chicago magazine, mayor ram emanuel, remember him from the clinton years, sounds like he's been pressuring the cops to reclassify violent crimes and murders. and suddenly when they did that, since they're changing the numbers, the number has dropped. there's the mayor right there. when you look at thisç gigantic number of the people shot over the weekend in one town, turns out the feds are getting involved. >> victims were kids between the ages of 11 and 15. when you look at the city ridden with gang violence and killings, it's earned the name according to many of chiraq. 187 victims of shooting were between 20 and 29. gun violenceç over the week,

45 people shot, 9 killed. these numbers are startling. some are saying this isn't about big weaponry here. it's about handguns. then you have rand paul out of kentucky who says this is a social issue. this isn't about gun laws and making them more restricting. >> i think we do have a problem. there's this horrific violence and it's hard to get your mind around it. but i think it's more of a sickness of the spirit than ownership of guns. if you look at the rules and laws, the cities that have the most significant gun control seem to still have the highest violence. it is not as simple as banning guns because they tried that in chicago and tried that in d.c. and it hasn't worked. >> 4th of july weekend, 74 people shot. 12 were actually killedç there. the chicago police superintendent gary mcarrest think, they've

assault weapons and handguns. they said you need to make changes. when you hear rand paul say this is a social issue. >> they have services that say no handguns. by the way, the people who bought the handguns, they have them legally. they're not going to turn them in to get a waffle. i don't understand what is going on there. issue. if they're going to crack down on guns it is not going to do anything unless they get inside the gangs or find out what's going on in the families that have the kids skwropbg -- joining the gangs. >> so many lawmakers say we need to do something with the gun laws. what city has the most restrictive gun laws in america? chicago. >> murders are illegal. you shouldn't shoot kids for no reason. that's illegal. >> they have a strange system out there where they

are reclassifying violent crimes and murders to make the numbers look better but it is hard to make 9 killed over easter look good. 11 minutes after the top of the hour on this wednesday. coming up, a college professor strays far away from the lessonç plan. >> people have so much power [inaudible] >> how did the college respond to that rant against republicans? you're probably going to be shocked. >> that was a creative writing class. >> the president wooing young voters promising he will lower college costs, but now the administration is trying to backpedal on that pledge and promise. stuart varney is fired up, and you're going to be too.ç ♪ ♪ [announcer] play close-good and close.

the president has been wooing america's youth promising he's going to lower their college costs. >> we've got a crisis in terms of college affordability and student debt. over the past four years what we've tried to do is to take some steps to make college more affordable. so we enacted his stoerbgs reforms to the student loan system, so taxpayer dollars stop padding the pockets of big banks and anrtead help more kids afford college. >> that sounds great, doesn't it? now government officials, though, are reining in those programs that the president proposed, citing the numbers that prove that tuition and loan costs have actually spiked since the plans have been implemented so did this push actually hurt the economy more than help it? stuart varney, host of varney and company on fox business, joins us. i remember back to the

campaigns and one of the ways that the president got elected president and then reelected was talking to college kids. i'm going to help you get student loans.ç >> 2011 the president goes out there and expands the student loan debt forgiveness program right before the election. it worked for him. he got the student vote. but now the bills are coming due. there has been a surge of people applying for and enrolling in this student loan student debt forgiveness program. we're up to 1.3 million people enrolled in this program now, and they're trying to walk away from $72 billion worth of student debt. there's a surge of people walking away from student debt, the taxpayer ends up with the bill. >> let's look at some of the debt we're talking about. if you're a law school student the average debt in 2012 was $138,000 when you graduated in law school. in 2004 you had a substantially lower number. it started atç $77,000.

if you get a masters in medicine, in 2012 it's $135,000. but as you can see, back in 2004, it started at $103,000. >> there is plenty of evidence that people went into these programs -- medicine and law, and a whole raft of other students, student study programs -- knowing at the end of the road their debt would be forgiven. so they ran up a whole lot of debt knowing that the taxpayer was going to subsidize them at the far end. i repeat: 1.3 million people tried to walk awaykp &c@ from $72 billion, $73 billion worth of student debt. i maintain that that is maybe the sound of the student loan debt bubble bursting because it's now $1.1 trillion in student debt. $1.1 trillion, doubled since the year 2007. people can't afford it. they're looking for ways of getting around it and they're giving the taxpayer the bill. >> as the taxpayer always winds up with the bill. what started out as a

campaign promise to pander to the college kids -- vote for me because i'm going to help you out, it worked, but now the government is trying to put restrictions on the amount of student debt you can run up because they realized that ticking sound in the background is the tuition time bomb. >> they are trying to cap the amount of the student loan you can walk away from. at the moment it is unlimited. but they won't be able to impose that cap at least until nextç year. hence, the rush of people to enroll now so you can get in before they lower the bar. that's what's happening. are you satisfied with that? because you're paying. you are paying. >> i'm paying for two college educations right now. and you're paying for three. >> that's nothing. in six months i will be paying for three youngsters in college at the same time. take that. >> stuart varney, watch him at 11:00 a.m. over on fox business. i have a feeling he's going to be talking about tuition. >> for a long time to come. >> at least mumbling during

very insensitive to others that may have a different political opinion, that they completely are -- they're not based on fact at all. and the professor doubled down. he stuck with those remarks. when i reached out to the university when the story broke and i read these comments, i read the fact that he was calling people that are not liberal,ç calling conservatives racists, misogynists, money grubbing p people, the university said this is not a university matter. i have taxpayers in the state of connecticut, i have students, i have parents that are sending their kids to eastern connecticut state university that are outraged by this because this is a university matter. >> here's a quick look. show the postscript of the apology. if you can call it an apology, this is the professor's response. he said during my class i regret the language i used, apologize to any students in the room that were offended. in terms of the student

that was in the class and recorded the rant, here's what he said last night on megyn's show. >> i did confront him after the class. this was before i took this to the media, andç he did not apologize to me initially. what he did instead was through these e-mails he doubled down essentially. i have his class tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., so i don't know how he's going to respond. if he approaches me, i'll be polite, i'll be respectful but i'll stand true to my morals and i'll say look, i did what i did. you were wrong for doing this. >> also believe that if the professor happened to be conservative and started ranting against democrats, you'd be equally upset? >> absolutely. we look to expose bias on campus. it is wrong when you use a captiveç audience to push a political agenda. that is what we expose every day. we are working to make sure students are able to learn, to become contributing members of society after graduation in a way without having to go through this

than buying feed. >> the f.d.a. saying you better process that or toss it out because i'm concerned about salmonella and other diseases. therefore, a lot of you guys are saying i can't process this. >> an extra added cost that effectively is going to make us throw it away. >> if you throw it away, farmers have to pay for additional feed. you have to go put this in a landfill or process it or get rid of it. that's going to cause the price of beer to go up? >> it is going to cause our costs to go up. it is a tight margin industry. we don't have a lot of buffers. ultimately the price of beer is going to go up. the farmers buying the feed, the price of meat is going to go up, price of dairy is going to go up. >> each beer we have, a six-pack, a case, a keg? >>peter: it -- >> it is going to affect every beer you buy as a consumer. i would guess it is

probably going to go up, a six-pack go up about a buck. probably a pint about 50 cents to a dollar. really put that hand in hand with the price of your meat going up and the price of your dairy go up, and for what really? there is no scientific reason to do this. >> ladies night ultimately affectedç because the cover charge will go up. the f.d.a.'s current understanding is the potential hazards associated with spent grains for brewers are minimal. we expect brewers to take reasonable measures to protect food from animals, from chemicals and physical hazards and will address the forthcoming proposal. this is not set in stone. this is a public comment period. to factor this in, you never heard of salmonella or anything else popping up in spent grain? >> i never heard of it. since this proposal was put into legislation we've researched it and we haven't found one documented case of any animal being ill.

i worked with farmers for overdecades and the farmers are develop cognizant of what they're feeding their animals and you can't feed spent grain to horses, for example. they know that. the cows andç pigs, they run at it. they love the stuff. >> i love your personal story. you got out of college, you were learning to brew in college and now you have a business. a successful businessman on the upswing. kelso beers. >> coming up straight ahead, for weeks we watched harry reid fly off the handle ranting about the koch brothers on the senate floor. now harry reid is the one under the spotlight. r.n.c. chairman on theö brand-new investigation into the democratic leader. and police raid a home tond oute twitter account that mocked the illinois governor. but does the mayor's revenge violate free

welcome back. a police raid to determine who was behind a twitter account that mocked an illinois mayor has so far resulted in one arrest. as the investigation continues, free speech advocates are expressing concern. are your first amendment rights at risk here? to debate it, former prosecutor and a defense attorney.

good morning. >> good morning. >> where is the line here? is this a violation of the first amendment? >> it's not only a violation, it's a dagger at the heart of the first amendment. >> why? >> this is unbelievable. because first of all, the raid is based off some fake statute that they're impersonating a government official. there is a parody account making claims about the public official. that's the heart of the first amendment. you have the right to criticize your elected officials in this country. you have the right to create a parody account. >> we saw the mayor there, that this fake twitter account in his voice. is the raid the fact that it's there or the actual raid? >> there is no violation here. i appreciate david's passion on this topic, but he's missing a key point here. somebody put up a fake twitter page pretending to be the mayor and then tweeting out messages

of a very crude and awful nature as if it was coming directly from the mayor. there is a statute in just about every state which says it is unlawful to pretend to be a public official. that's what this person was doing. it wasn't until a day or two before the search warrant and the arrest that the twitter page even acknowledged that it was a joke. people reasonably believed it was the mayor tweeting and that's what led to the arrest. >> are you saying that because he is a public official that this this is irresponsible, perhaps a violation of rights because they went with a raid seek information because of his status as mayor? >> first of all, the statute that you quote, it was meant for impersonating a police officer. it was meant to protect people against other people who have run around pretending they're law enforcement. so the statute is meant to injure a third person, which is not injury here. yeah, it goes -- so the statute is all false. so the fourth amendment was violated by the raid of this

house. and certainly the first amendment is at the heart of this issue. the mayor is trying to quash free speech. that's what this is all about. >> is this about the way that it's actually conducted, not the what, but the how? and was this statute that you're referring to, this is obviously pretwitter, preface book, prethe ability for somebody to write that they're somebody else? >> right. these statutes exist so people can't pretend to be public officials. but it's not limited to police officers. and let's be clear, before police went into this person's home, we had a d.a., a police officer go to a judge who found that there was probable cause to believe that an offense had been committed. and that's how the police end up in the home. where they found, by the way, drugs. so this is not the most upstanding citizen. >> the mayor got upset. he went to his police commissioner. they went to the d.a. and got the warrant. >> last word quickly. >> bottom line, horrible

violation of the first amendment. >> thank you both for being with us. got to leave it there. coming up, land battle brewing big time. this time the federal government is trying to mess with texas. a rancher telling his side of the story up next i do a lot oresearch on angie's list before i do any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

good morning. today is wednesday, april 23. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. on the missing malaysian plane, moments ago, news of possible debris washing up on dry land. those breaking details up ahead. another land battle brewing, this time the federal government is trying to mess with texas. a rancher telling his side of the story. and call this the wall of shame. >> make them feel like they're dumb or as smart as the other kids who did pass it. >> high school posted the names of students who failed a standardized test on the wall

for everybody to see. is that good motivation or just being mean? we're going to talk about that and so much more because wednesday mornings, always better with friends. >> this is valerie bertinelli, you're watching "fox & friends." i have think they take it one morning at a time. >> welcome aboard. you just heard could be big news regarding the airplane. >> big news. heather nauert standing by with some incredible information that they're looking at here. >> potentially. this could be very, very interesting coming in from australia. we have breaking news on the search for the missing malaysian plane. officials announcing an object washed ashore on its western coast. police are inspecting this material to determine if it's linked to flight 370. malaysian officials holding a press conference and said they have not seen any photos of the mystery object just yet. here is a clip.

>> i think he said they're look for confirmation on that. we'll keep you posted. bad weather has suspended the air search for a second day in a row. we'll keep you posted on any new developments. and another fox news alert. moments ago, president obama landing in tokyo starting his week long tour of asia. the trip aims to bolster our ties with our asian allies and renew our diplomatic and economic relations with some countries over there. in addition to japan, he's going to malaysia, south korea, and the philippines, but not china. a blistering new report that reveals the benghazi terrorist attacks could have been prevented. the citizens committee on benghazi claims that the u.s. allowed $500 million in weapons

to flow to al-qaeda terrorists who oppose libyan dictator moammar gadhafi. and their rise to power led to the embassy attack two years ago. the commission concluded the attack was actually a failed kidnapping plot. the report says that ambassador chris stevens was supposed to be captured and traded for the blind sheik. the mastermind of the world trade center. five people rescued from a sand bar after they're stranded for nine hours. this happened off the coast of queensland, australia. they wrote an enormous message, sos, in the sand after their boats anchor broke. the police first knew something was wrong after they found an abandoned boat. then the choppers went up and found the massive sign. all five were in good health, except a little sunburn. those are your headlines. i'll keep checking out what's

going on with the australian plane there. >> thank you. where exactly is the border between texas and oklahoma? the texas farm bureau says whenever the river moves, texas farm bureau says when oklahoma believes when the river shifts to the south as it does with rain, when it shifts to the south, the state line moves south. but when it moves north, the line remains in place. as it turns out, our friends at the bureau of land management want to settle this once and for all. they want to do a gigantic land grab and grab 90,000 acres of texas, which currently are held by private ranchers and farmers. >> right. claiming it's part of the public domain there. this on the heels of the nevada rancher, cliven bundy, something that is not looking forward to dealing with. tommy henderson has been embroiled in the battle with them for more than three decades and claiming that they took

140 acres of his land along that river and didn't pay him one cent. so the texas farm bureau rep there, he actually said there is major overreach going on here in terms of what's going on. >> some of our people who were contacted and were told that there was a possibility that they were coming back along that 116-mile stretch that might be under federal control. we do know this happened before. we are concerned about it now. they are concerned about it now, and our attempt as a farm organization, texas farm bureau, if we're about anything, it's private property rights. we were invited to tell their story and explain their concerns. >> greg abbott, who could be the next governor, is currently the attorney general, has a message for the bureau of land management, that essentially get out. hands off. we can handle it. >> yeah. that rancher that you were alluding to, he lost a federal lawsuit back in the '80s where he said look, the bureau of land

management took over 100 of my acres and what they did was didn't pay me a cent. in that case, it was ruled that texas never had the authority to grant private ownership of any land. so it reverted back to the federal government. so the big question is going forward, will the bureau of land management make that same case to the courts to say you got to give us 90,000 acres right here in texas that currently belongs to private people. >> right. this is going to be an issue going forward that -- >> i think this is going to be a campaign issue. i see both. the bigger issue is not so much the ranch or the red river. i think the bigger issue is why is the government buying off all this land? can't we have it? what are they doing with it? do you want to mow it? >> and is it fair? for years on this channel we've been talk being how the government, when it's in their interest, when they think they need something for something, they grab land by eminent domain

or any other way they can. it looks like that's about to happen in texas and given what's happening out in nevada right now, a lot of people are going, wait a minute. the government is getting way too big and powerful and they got a swat team? >> yeah. >> red flags there. we're going to switch to high school. what would you think of this? a wall of shame. a high school posting the names of students on a wall that failed standardized testing. could that be to motivate them or do you believe that's a mishap? >> this high school said yeah, we put it up to give students an idea of where they have to go to take their tests so they eventually will pass. it's a procedural thing. essentially a lot of parents are upset saying my kid is on that wall and it's humiliating and it might be against the law. >> sure. this is at duchesney high school in the spring school district of texas. there is the list. they put it up outside the office and it shows that the child is going to have to take the test again, which means the

child failed. parents are outraged that the school district would their kids in front of all their peers. listen. >> it causes public embarrassment and humiliation among their peers and makes them feel embarrassed and make them feel like they're dumb, they're not as smart as the other kids who did pass it. >> you know, i'm all for competition, but not all kids are created equally. i've got a dyslexic kid at my house who will get up, study all day, and read the material over and over, go to school, take the test, and come back, read it over and over and over because dyslexic brains are simply wired differently. she doesn't get -- she's tried so hard to fit in with all the other kids and has done a fantastic job because of hard work. some kids aren't good test takers. >> with that wall of -- would that wall of shame motivate the majority of kids? you used it when you tried out for a team and found out if you

made it on the wall. this is not a voluntary test that they're taking here. it's a mandatory one. what do you think? let us know. would you want your kid's name on the wall? >> to me, if it's a discipline problem, if it's an attendance issue, and 99%er of those things are voluntary, i was always late, then you could say that's my motivation. but when you're talking about a test with so many other things like you brought up, to me, you can not put that publicly. i just wonder if the school -- they have to come forward and say i was just doing it procedurally. i want the kids to see it. i don't have any other way to do it, as if we don't have those kids' e-mails. you have a way to say the school is closed because of snow. >> school came out and said we didn't break the law. not an invasion of privacy. but we want to hear from you. e-mail us. meanwhile, for weeks we've watched harry reid fly off the handle, ranting about the koch brothers and everything else. >> seem to believe in an america

where the system is rigged to benefit the very wealthy. the koch brothers use these people as pawns. >> now those rants of harry reid under investigation? rnc chairperson reince previn will be with us with that story and you'll hear only on "fox & friends." >> and these nfl cheerleaders jump and cheer, but they say one coach made them go too far with what they referred to as a jiggle test. >> really? a coach? >> we're going to explain that and so much more. ♪ ♪

welcome back. a swat team shows up at a new york home expecting a murder scene, only to find out it was all a hoax. robert moses from wnyw is in long island, new york, with more on a disturbing new trend. good morning, robert. >> good morning to you. this is known as swatting. it's the first time it's ever happened here in long beach. we are in nassau county on long island. this is not only costly, but

dangerous as well because it placed these first stoppedders in harm's way. it all happened around 3:00 o'clock yesterday afternoon. police got a call via skype from a man who claimed that he had killed his mother and brother here in long beach. ambulances, fire trucks, swat team mebs and other officers responded. the problem, it was all a hoax. what really happened is that the caller had been playing the on-line video game "call of duty" and lost. to exact revenge on the winner, the loser called police and gave out the winner's address to try to get as many police officers to show up at his home. mission accomplished. we spoke to the winner's older brother. >> saw something like this on tv a couple months ago. now that it happened to me, what the -- i didn't know how to react to that. it's crazy. >> reporter: this prank caller could be in some serious trouble. he not only faces charges for falsely reporting an incident, but police say he could also be on the hook for about $100,000.

that's approximately what it cost to respond to a call that turned out to be bogus. that is the latest. live from long beach, long island. back to you. >> not very smart and a waste of our resources there. robert moses, thank you. for weeks we've watched harry reid fly off the handle, ranting and raving about the koch brothers on the senate floor. now according to a new ethics complaint in the u.s. senate, he might be doing it on the taxpayers' dime. reince previn is the chairman of the republican national committee. he joins us live from washington, d.c good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> so you're alleging harry reid is abusing his power. how? >> well, there is a whole list of ethics rules that the senators and congressmen and house mebs have to comply with and under senate rule 2,

essentially it says that senators have to use taxpayer money without spending it on political purposes. so we're alleging that it's an improper use of taxpayer money when harry reid uses a couple things improperly. number one, when he uses the senate.gov domain web site -- that's a web site that all of you and everyone watching pays for and he uses the staff in order to post things that are clearly partisan, like attacks against the koch brothers, things that you don't know about the koch brothers. and an extensive blog site that is clearly a partisan attack against republicans. he uses his official twitter account as a senator to put up info graphics that are clearly partisan info graphics and attacks against republicans. these are things that most cases, believe it or not, in washington that senators have a different web site and a

different twitter account to launch these partisan attacks. not with harry reid. he doesn't use a separate web site and a separate twitter account for these attacks. so he's clearly using staff, taxpayer money, resources, web siteo launch partisan campaign attacks on the taxpayers' money. and that's a violation. >> well, chairman, we talked on this program about why harry reid has been attacking the koch brothers, because the democrats need a boogie man and they want to divert attention away from obamacare and other problems facing the democrats as well. so they pick on the koch brothers. but for you to allege that he is misusing his office, misusing his staff, misusing things that you and i pay for to attack one of his political opponents, that's bad. so you filed this ethics letter with the senate. where does it go now?

>> the letter actually came from the louisiana gop. now it's in senator boxer and senator isakson out of georgia's office. look, harry reid brings this stuff on himself. in some ways maybe folks watching think that's exactly what harry reid wants. here is the problem, harry reid is so dirty and so unethical that some of these things have to happen. you have to put a marker down and say, wait a second. you are not going to use a taxpayer web site and a taxpayer twitter account to attack republicans. so where it stands now is it's in the senate ethics committee and we're going to take it as far as we can in order to make sure that people understand that this guy will stop at nothing to lie to the american people. "washington post," "new york times," they're all calling this guy out on these lies, but now he's crossed a line in regard to the law and we have to bring it on of the i think that's our job to do it. >> the "washington post" just

gave one of the political ads against the republican down in louisiana four pinocchios that was produced by his senate majority pac, which is packed with his cronies. thank you very much, sir. >> thank you, steve. >> by the way, harry reid, if you're watching, we invite you to come on and respond to reince previn's charges. i won't hold my breath. 28 minutes after the top of the hour. a loss for words. that's the state department's reaction when asked to name just one accomplishment by former secretary of state hillary clinton when she was secretary of state. so what does that mean as she considers a run for the white house? we'll discuss that. and they claim to make the healthiest doughnut out there. but how does it taste? which one is which? we're going to have a head to head doughnut taste-off. one is good for you. one not so good. but delicious.

>> wow. >> to each his own. >> and at an earlier time they would have rats do this. >> you're probably right. >> i'm so glad we're the first humans to study this. >> while we have these, you want to rustle some cattle? >> i'm thinking about it. i think they're a little too controversial. >> yesterday at the department of state, the associated press reporter, matt lee, asked the official spokesperson for the state department, name one accomplishment from the 2010 qddr, the qddr is quad rennial development review. it was deviled by hillary clinton to create a more nimble, more effective, more accountable department of state. so this essentially is hillary clinton's grade card. so when asked, name one thing, one accomplishment, jen saki must have had a lot of them.

>> can you off the top of your head identify one tangible achievement that resulted from the last qqdr? >> i'm certain those who were here at the time who worked hard on that effort. >> one that since you've come on board that you've noticed, that someone has noticed that you can point back and say wow, this identified this as a problem and dealt with it? >> i've only been here since it was concluded. i'm sure there are a range of things that were put into place that i'm not even aware of. >> i won't hold my breath. >> she couldn't name one! what difference does it make! >> hillary clinton was in a similar situation when she was taking questions about ten days ago to name some of her most significant accomplishments. she wrote a book called "hard choices." so far if luke at what she's done, you get the hustle award, a lot of miles. but how do we do in the arab spring? not too good. how did we do with the iranian deal? how is that working out for us? how is it going with russia and becoming great friends with them? how are we doing on that? >> brian, what difference does it make?

>> did i mention the libya situation? d -- >> did you realize an internal review from the inspector general recently said on her watch, the department of state misplaced $6 billion. so let's get that straight. when she was secretary of state, they misplaced $6 billion and four americans got killed. you think that's going to come up during any sort of campaign? >> it has to. >> of course it has to. >> i wond for it comes out of the democratic primary to elizabeth warren who seems to be laying the ground work to run. >> for now, silence. but not from heather. she has some headlines. >> good morning. we're talking about the fate of texas and don't mess with texas, especially governor rick perry. he is challenging new york governor andrew cuomo to a showdown of sorts. perry is in new york on a three-day trip to try to woo businesses in high tax new york to move to texas. he's challenging cuomo to a

debate during an appearance at an albany radio station. listen to this. >> i think that would be a not only interesting and fun, but also for us as a country to have a discussion between two of the major states in america talking about which one of these policies are actually better for our people. >> governor perry promising low taxes and major incentives for businesses that relocate to texas. caught on camera, new video showing a pair of tsa agents giving two young children full body pat-downs at a u.s. airport. the little boy in the striped shirt, just two years old. his sister in the pink, six years old. their father was outraged by the whole thing. he filmed it. the tsa says it was necessary to screen these kids because they came in contact with their father after he had already been selected for a security check. you may remember this back in 2011. the tsa had amended its policy to reduce pat-downs of children

under 12 years of age. what do you think of this? and no amount of packaging peanuts would soften this blow. well, the postal worker there just couldn't be bothered to get out of that car and deliver the packages. not one, but three of the packages thrown in front of the garage. inside one of the boxes, a $400 kindle fire tablet. so the homeowner complained to the local post office and he was brushed off. then his wife posted the video on-line and now corporate is investigating the lazy worker. okay. and here is a story i know brian and steve will like. the nfl cheerleaders bounce and jump and cheer, but they say that one coach made them go way too far. five former buffalo bills cheerleaders suing the team saying they were forced to take a jiggle test. yep. a jiggle test, to check for

firmness in their bodies. yeah. and they also claim they weren't paid for hundreds of hours of work that they were forced to do, sort of mandatory public appearance that they say left them open to sexual harassment. a jiggle test. those are your headlines. >> how do you qualify to judge the jiggle? >> in fairness, the players have to pass sort of a nonjiggle test, too, and see how things are mapping out on their bodies for performance. >> that's a great point. they have to wear tight shirts and run around during the combine. >> i'm confused. when i first read it, i thought it said juggle test. >> heather and i will juggle later. >> she's in charge of juggling our weather and the trivia because it's wednesday. here is maria molina. >> that's right. it's wednesday. it's science trivia day. today's question has to do with severe weather and here it is. which state has the most tornadoes per square mile? is it a, kansas. b, oklahoma. c, florida, or d, texas.

which one do you think sees the most tornadoes per square mile? >> c. >> c. >> oklahoma. >> all right. the correct answer is florida. >> what? >> the state that's not even in tornado alley. >> oh, per square mile. >> exactly. you have to remember that they just don't see tornadoes from severe weather that we would typically see in tornado alley, but hurricanes also bring tornadoes to the state of florida from some of those outer rain bands. by the way, i have a doughnut, i'm ready to eat it for breakfast. sips you government the question right or wrong, i guess. >> i ate the whole thing. the wind comes out of the west at 15 miles an hour for maria molina. >> maria is eating while she does the weather? >> after. >> it's my breakfast. >> it is your breakfast. thank you very much. now you know. a fun fact. florida per square mile. coming up straight ahead. >> an unwanted and illegal surprise for one mother.

the kid's jean she bought at target had drugs inside. how exactly does that happen? what target are we talking about? >> yeah, really. >> more companies bombarding your kids when they're doing homework on-line. there is a new way to keep ads from interrupting your child's learning process. >> now this. >> on her birthday, apple announced it will recycle all of its used products for free. not to be confused with what apple normally does when it recycles its old ideas for $600. this one doesn't do anything different. it comes and goes.

news by the numbers. 60,580. that's the number of 2014 chevy impalas that may have an emergency brake problem. federal regulators are investigating emergency brakes activating without warning.

that is a problem. next, nine. that's how old a kid was whose mom found pot in his brand-new pants from target. she called the cops and turned over the evidence. target has not yet responded. and finally, 250,000 bucks, that's how much the media deal is worth for this kid who got kicked in the head while taking his selfy too close to a moving train. the viral video had california media agencies snatching him up. it looks fake. it wasn't. and now he made money. elisabeth, over to you. >> thanks. when you search on-line, chances are you've been bombarded by advertisements does whether you like it or not, many of those companies have access to your personal information. my next guest says he wants to change that specifically for students. he's a behavioral psychologist at microsoft. good morning and welcome. how dangerous is it for anyone

in general, but particularly students when they're seeing these ads and being bombarded while they're trying to do their work. >> we estimate kids see 15 billion search ads every day in the classroom and that's just from search web sites. >> astounding. >> it's really amazing. their searches are being used to personalize advertising to them. we want to change that. >> parents should be concerned. why? >> i think that there is a couple of different issues. when you look at the searches that kids are doing in the classroom, they shoot be something that are tracking the kids around. they shouldn't take them home with them. at least not for advertising. there are some great uses, search history is a great feature. that we want to preserve. but it's the advertising piece we want to take out. >> okay. because it's a distraction. it's also an invasion of privacy. and maybe just exposing your kids to people that you don't want them exposed to. >> absolutely. we don't allow advertisers to follow kids around the classroom physically. so why would we allow that on-line? >> great point. you have an alternative. please explain.

>> binge, today announced that any school can sign up for free and get ad free safer, more private search. >> why aren't more services like this available? i know google does not have a comparable search there. we asked them to comment as well. but they don't. why was this important to you? >> i used to be a classroom teacher. it's one of these things that i think once we sort of figured out that we should do it, everybody sort of was like, why aren't we already doing this? so we are really anxious to roll it out. >> what does it look like? you're going to walk us through. >> we're connected to a school right now. so you can see if we do a search for like a college here, you can see we get a great ad-free experience. you still get the related searches, all the things you want, but none of the ads. >> this is all the information you would see otherwise. >> absolutely. if you went to something -- i can't show you regular bing 'cause we're going through a school. if we do the same search on google, like a college. >> the comparison is? >> we'll see ads here, ads here.

>> we've all experienced something like that. but how is it it work? does the school enroll? do they pay for it? does the student or parent incur a cost? >> it's completely free. the schools register by filling out a form that takes three or four minutes. they don't have to install any software, making changes on their side. i don't want them to have to touch every machine. we try to make it very, very easy for them to do. >> privacy of students is respected as well. >> absolutely. >> great. thank you so much. microsoft behavioral scientist, thanks for being with fox. >> thank you. steve, you have something special for us over there. >> i do indeed. thank you. have you ever gone to a party where the host put leftover wine back in the bottle? and then take it home? is that normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow answering your e-mail coming up. first on this date in 1914, the first baseball game played at wrigley field. then known as wigman park in chicago. in 1985, coca-cola changed their

find a use for them. is this normal or nuts? >> okay. so your mother-in-law may be lovely, but she's nuts and in what way? the bottom line is if somebody gives you something and it's never quite right, then you are still in control. so for some reason, she wants to maintain control. she's never comfortable. you got to take care of her all the time. it gives her a sense of power. she doesn't need it. what you do is ask her a question. hey, when prosecute you the happiest in your life? who gave you the best gift ever? try to get her to settle in to those very nice, comfortable questions. >> or get defensive and refuse to go over there. one or the other. >> obviously i have to keep working with you. >> my second e-mail is this: my in-laws are comfortably retired. however, any wine left in glasses is poured back into the bottle. i was once scolded for wasting food. is this normal or nuts? >> it's an easy one. they're not nuts.

good morning. today is april 23. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. breaking details on the missing malaysian plane. news of possible debris washing up on dry land. those latest developments straight ahead. meanwhile, as americans we have to pay our taxes. but if you although -- although half the country does not pay federal taxes. but if you work for the irs and don't pay your taxes, you might just get a bonus. this is not a joke. it's actually happening in the building behind that sign. >> do these kids that you're about to see look like terrorists to you? two small children, cute as buttons, get full body pat-downs by the tsa. this morning the agency defending its actions.

you seem to have a different take on all this. according to every study that elisabeth conducted and she does a lot of them, every morning is better with friends. >> this is sherry shepherd and you're watching "fox & friends" with my best pal, elisabeth hasselbeck, and these two other guys. >> yeah, these two other guys. thank you, sherry. we got a former person from "the view" coming on today. >> sherry's birthday was yesterday. and debbie stephanopoulos joining us today. we're all set to go and descend upon barbara together. >> are you going to go back for a final show? >> yes. >> that will be fantastic. >> we're going to talk about that today. our lead story, and this could possibly be big, australian officials apparently, some sort of debris has washed up on the

coast of australia. see where augusta is there on the west? it's not far from there. they're referring to it as an object of interest right now. too early to tell, they say, whether or not it is related to missing malaysian flight 370. however, it is sheet metal. it is rivetted. so they photographed it and now they're analyzing it. >> right. the malaysian investigation team right now saying the photographs have been provided. they will continue to look at them. they're interesting enough for them to continue investigating and here is some sound from the chief of the malaysian )epartment of civil aviation. >> one of the quotes said, the

more we are looking at it, the less excited we are getting. meanwhile, we thought the big story with the plane today was the fact that the blue fin 21 has been down there looking around, it's got nothing. then they're going to start with side scan, or the sonar scanner, which they say is more sophisticated. but then they're going to do this other thing, checking land. >> right. >> they're going to start checking land. now? >> he said, quote, we're not going to abandon the families of the six australian citizens that were on the plane. we're not going to let down the families of the 239 people on that plane by lightly surrendering while there is still reasonable hope of finding something. so they will continue. >> they already told the families three weeks ago it's over. it's done. the flight disappeared. so now they're going to give them hope? >> based on those pings that had never been used in an airplane investigation. we don't know where it is. we don't know what happened. however, objects of interest, 9 news in australia reporting three objects have washed up.

used that muscle to make the malaysian government be more transparent. >> perhaps they will be able to bring information as they continue to look at the photos and continue that search for answers. turning a corner here, irs, another scandal. no, not the one you're thinking of. the agency is found to have been rewarding those within it who owe back taxes. we're not talking about just change and dimes here. we're talking about more than 1100 employees of the irs who had issues with tax compliance

reward more than a million dollars and 10,000 hours in time loss. 2800 irs employees who have been disciplined for conduct problems, but still paid almost $3 million. >> so almost $3 million in bonuses paid to 2800 employeeses with disciplinary problems. crazy. a million dollars paid to 1100 workers who owed back taxes. workers with tax problems received a total of 10,582 hours of paid time off valued at a quarter of a million. what's interesting is so not only did the irs target conservatives, they also targeted employees who didn't pay their taxes and in many cases, gave them raises. that's crazy. >> right. and they got bonuses. there you go. that doesn't just stop there. there is the cms who had a lot to do with implementing and allocating the new changes in medicaid and medicare that have come down from obamacare. when it comes to their workload and their job performance, they also are experiencing the

success that a lot of people shoot for. that is they are getting bonuses. an estimated 200 of the workers receive raises from 2012 to 2013. the average being about $5,000. the average pay rose from 147,000 to 149,000. you used to go into these jobs because you wanted security and you wanted benefits. now you also get the high salaries that go along with it. >> a raise not dependent on incentive of doing well. so the cms there being the ground crew that was lifting off this obamacare launch, which was a failure, yet they're seen here as getting up to $5,000 per person in terms of raises when it comes to top level employees. >> it's kinds of crazy to think that everybody lives in fear of uncle sam and particularly the irs because they're the ones who have the super computers and keep an eye on all of us. but for them to give these bonuses to people who owed back

taxes, what are they doing there? what are they doing there? it's just kind of crazy. it goes to show you that apparently unfortunately, there are a lot of people who feel that washington is never held accountable for their misdeeds. this is another example of it. >> it's like work at the weather channel. getting the weather wrong every day and then getting a raise at the end of the year. how do you like that for an analysis? >> let's call al roker. he joins us on the line right now. good morning, al. >> but al deserves a raise! he gets the weather right. >> but according to your metric, he gets it wrong every other day. >> i'm just saying in theory, i was trying to further bring up the -- >> and i love that! >> i don't think you did. >> it's irony. >> heather nauert, try not to use an analogy off the top of your head. apparently they're judgmental. >> i said nothing. >> all right. moving on. good morning, everybody. good morning. we start with a fox news alert. president obama in tokyo this morning taking off a week long tour in asia. the goal is to strengthen ties with asian allies and renew

diplomatic and economic relations. he's also scheduled to visit malaysia, south korea, and the philippines, but not china. a blistering new report reveals the benghazi terrorist attacks could have been prevented. the citizens committee on benghazi is made up of a group of former military officers and c.i.a. insiders. they claim that the u.s. allowed $500 million worth of weapons to flow to al-qaeda terrorists to fight libyan dictator moammar gadhafi. the report concludes that their rise to power led to the embassy attack that left four americans dead and they dropped this bombshell, saying the attack was actually a failed kidnapping plot. the report says that ambassador chris stevens was to be captured and traded for the blind sheik, the mastermind of the 1993 world trade center bombings in new york. for weeks we watched harry reid go on and on and on on the senate floor about the koch brothers. now according to a new ethics

complaint, he may be doing this on the taxpayers' dime. if a congressman wants to launch a partisan attack, they're supposed to use their private web sites and twitter accounts, but not harry reid. he's actually using his official taxpayer-funded site. republican national committee chairman reince previn was on the show earlier today talking about what reid is doing. >> so he's clearly using staff, taxpayer money, resources, web site, computer equipment to launch partisan campaign attacks on the taxpayers' money. that's a violation. >> because of this, louisiana republican party is officially filing an ethics complaint against the senate majority leader. a british tourist is about to be deported from sri lanka because of this tattoo right here. 37-year-old naomi coleman was arrested at the airport shortly after she landed when police spotted this tattoo. a police spokeswoman said she was, quote, hurting others' religious feelings.

buddhism is a dominant religion in sri lanka and anything that seems to disrespect buddha is against the law. it's a tattoo of buddha. >> and and what happened to her? >> got the boot from buddha. >> i'll be darn. now we know. >> i'll see you later. >> thank you very much. >> steve, i just got some information from my sources. they're waiting for the most part, weathermen and women are 80% accurate. >> is that right? >> right. >> there you go. >> accuweather is 82%. >> and? >> everybody else, 81. i'm just saying, let's say you had a year in which you -- maria always gets it right. for every ten weather casts are wrong. >> here is the thing about your analogy, which is great and i love that. what percentage of the people at accuweather did not pay their taxes? if i could have tied that together, it would have been out

of the park. until then, let's go to peak and reflect on what we went through. >> it's a complete stranger calls the cops because they didn't like the way you drive, can the cops pull you over and write a ticket for you? the answer going to surprise you coming up next. and call it the wall of shame. one high school posting the names of students who failed their test. is that motivating or just plane mean? e-mail us. i want your opinion. ♪ ♪ d

the way you drive, can the police then pull you over and write you a ticket? the answer, listen to this -- in a 5-4 decision, the supreme court upheld a california court's decision that says yes, you can be pulled over based on an anonymous tip. does that set a dangerous precedent? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. -- >> good morning. not only can you be pulled over and given a ticket, you can be arrested based on reasonable suspicion in terms of some other crime. here an anonymous tip was made up in northern california to the chips. they called in and said, oh, this car just ran me off the road. police went looking at the car, they followed the car for five minutes. the car was not driving erratically, but they stopped him anyway and found, based on odor, 30 pounds of marijuana. those folks were sentenced to three months and three years probation. but they went all the way to the supreme court saying, listen, you violated my fourth amendment

constitutional right on search and seizure here. you can't lock me up based on an anonymous tip that somehow i'm drunk and i force someone off the road and i'm not drunk, i didn't force someone off the road. the police watched me for five minutes and then you lock me up based on reasonable suspicion anyway. what's this coming to in this country? >> exactly right. so we suppose that the person who called up anonymously and said hey, that vehicle just forced me off the road was in the public safety interest, if it really did happen and we don't know because it was anonymous. but let me ask you this: let's say i don't like you. let's just say. and i know you drive a blue pacer and i know that you've had -- you're going to go to your favorite place on a friday night and have a couple of drinks and then take off. what if i anonymously, from my house, i don't see you. i just have an ax to grind with you. i narc on you. >> based on the supreme court ruling written by justice thomas, the majority, just scalia wrote the dissent, yes. you absolutely have that right to do that and the police absolutely have the right, based

on the sufficient reliability of that call, even that anonymous call, to stop you on the road, whether you're doing something or not. supreme court says it's kind of the hallmark of our criminal justice system. we do rely on anonymous tips in terms of solving crimes in this country. but the issue for justice scalia becomes what happens when you have malevolent 9-11 callers like this? should we be free from the molestation of the police on the road? all of us have our freedom curtailed, according to justice scalia, based on an anonymous tip. this is a 5-4 decision in this court. we've had some comments from people that have written in to us. dennis on facebook says we have too many pranksters angry road rage people, others with a grudge or a score to settle. this is worse than stupid. and can be expected to waste a lot of valuable resources. keith on facebook said, you have a right to face your accuser.

all police have to say is, we got a tip, and they can toss your car. under this supreme court decision written by justice thomas, dissented by justice kariya, yes, do you have that right. reasonable suspicion based on the totality of circumstances to make a traffic stop and that includes an anonymous tip. so drivers, beware in this new america of 2014. you can be stopped even if you're not doing anything wrong based on an anonymous tip. >> that is crazy. peter johnson, jr., who i should point out does not drive a blue pacer. >> thank you so much. i took the roof off. we have a hard top. >> a lot of head room. thank you very much. straight ahead, this dad wanted to opt his kids out of state standardized test. when he went to meet with the principal, he was stopped by the cops.

the father who fought to make sure his kids didn't have to take those state tests. before we talk about how you were greeted by law enforcement, let's talk about what your problem is with the school system, tracy. for example, the standardized test, what's your issue? >> well, we had been doing a loft researching over the last six, eight months and we had researched private schools and public education and home schooling and things like that because we felt that our children were basically like the square peg -- they were trying to force into the round holes. we found that the education that our children were receiving and nothing against the school that we belong to or the teachers. it's just the system was sort of failing our children, we felt. so we were looking at different options. >> so one of your options was to not take that test. so you asked for a meeting with the school and you were going to get that meeting. >> that's correct. we had scheduled a meeting.

we had about 20 minutes window that we had to meet with the principal that morning to discuss -- the only question i had was, i wanted to insure that our children were not going to be forced to sit and stare while they sat in the class with all the other children taking the test. throughout georgia and throughout the country, children that their parents refuse this test, they're allowed to go into the resource department, the library to read a book, the computer lab and do other things. i wanted to insure my children were not forced to sit in their classroom for 78 minutes or how long long the test is. >> you had a meeting. you confirmed the meeting. at 9:00 o'clock they sent an e-mail canceling the meeting. you show up at school thinking the meeting is on and you were greeted by a cop. >> that's correct. that's correct. we did not -- i had been e-mailing back and forth, so i actually did not see the e-mail. i do not get e-mails on my phone because that's just not -- i

don't want to anchor myself like that. they did not carbon copy my wife. throughout all the communications that we've been having during the day with e-mails, my wife was carbon copied on everything. coming back into our household, she was copied by the principal and by everybody else. >> so why law enforcement? why would a cop greet you? >> basically i believe it was probably the superintendent's office that stated that we need to have a police presence on the property and he said -- we were in the office, we were waiting on the principal to come out for our meeting and about five minutes into that time that we were supposed to be talking to the principal, he walked out of her office. called us out of the office into the front foyer area of the school between the outside doors and the inside doors and he said that you are technically you are

trespassing -- because we are in opposition to the testing that the school is providing, we are in a trespassing-type situation. evidently there is a school regulation where if children are not taking this test, they're not allowed on school property either, which means they are also trespassing. >> so it's an extreme measure for which your story is, you're really giving a voice to a lot of other parents saying i'm tired of the standardized tests. my child does not too well and even if they do, that's not why they go to school. you he wants to like where it's heading and you stood up and you wanted to talk about it and you end up being faced with this. hopefully you guys should be able to sit down, evaluate your kids and see what happens next year without using a number two pencil and a computer to grade them. >> that's absolutely correct. >> thank you, tracy. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for sharing your story because i think a lot of people can relate to it. we'll talk to you again. we look forward to following up

with it. as we get closer to the bottom of this hour, speaking of standardized tests, call this wall of shame. you got a high school posting the names of students who failed their tests on the wall. is this motivation or humiliation? i sound like don king a little bit. we report. you decide. then another land battle brewing, this time the federal government is trying to mess with texas. rancher telling his side of the story. ♪ ♪ good job!

employ soldiers is something we all want to discuss. here to explain is chief of the u.s. army reserves general jeffrey tally and the army's best warrior of 2013, sergeant first class jason minelo. good morning. >> thank you for having us on your show. again, it's our 106th birthday for the army reserve and rolling our partnership initiative, but i want to make sure that we highlight jason here. jason, our army reservist, was selected the best warrior, noncommissioned officer out of all of our soldiers in the entire army, active guard reserve. what an accomplishment. >> it was a competition, right? >> yet. it was a competition against all the branches, the entire army in general. it's the first time the army reserve won in the leadership category. >> tell me about the criteria. >> they test everything, your physical and mental abilities. there is physical fitness, lessons qualification, oral, written communications, land navigation, mystery of hands on, first aid training. they test all aspects of a

soldier should be capable of doing. >> what does that mean to you to receive that? >> for me it's a great honor, especially for the army reserve. i've been in the army reserve for ten years and fought this stigma that for some reason the army reserve is not as good as active duty, that you're part-time. >> it's a part-time deal. >> you're a weekend warrior. so it's an monitor to represent -- honor to represent. >> talk a little about this public-private partnership that goes ahead and tries to find jobs for a lot of guys and gals who are going to need them. >> thanks, steve, for the question. the army reserve is predominantly traditional reservists, which means they work in the private sector. we created a partnership years ago and from that now, we create careers in the private sector for our reserve soldiers. what we've done is taken that to the next level by generating programs that help us be better individuals, better leaders, and better units from a private

sector approach. not government approach. >> that way they'll have jobs and yet they can -- civilian jobs while interfacing with the government. >> that's especially true as we were talking about the army, down sizing significantly, and we need to capture those combat veterans, men and women from the regular army, bring them into the army reserve and give them great civilian careers while they continue to be a soldier for life. >> mass mayes those extraordinary -- maximize those extraordinary skills. >> how did you score in cake cutting proficiency? >> so far untested. >> so steve can't give the order, elisabeth can't, i can't. general, would you order the sergeant to cut the cake. >> sergeant, cut the cake. >> sergeant, can i have the largest piece, please? >> he's only obligated to one cut. >> 106 years. >> congratulations. >> that's great. we know we have a lot of mebs of the service watching. >> think of the service' role in iraq and afghanistan. no one is questioning that. >> it launches today. there will be a lot of media about it and great activities,

lot of celebrities helping us across the nation. we're very appreciative. >> if you would like more information, go to our web site and we'll have a link on there. >> he did not have to cut the whole cake. >> 25 minutes before the top of the hour. heather, i know you got some news. >> good morning to you. the bureau of land management at it again. this time going after some land in texas. the blm taking 140 acres from rancher tommy henderson in the 1980s. even though his family had the deed on the land for nearly 100 years. now the blm is using that ruling to try to take another 90,000 acres along the texas-oklahoma border. the case is similar to what's been going on at the bundy ranch in nevada, because majority leader harry reid has been vocal on the topic. now reid says, quote, something is going to happen to get cattle off of federal land. >> it's obvious that you can't just walk away from this and speck speculate all we want to speculate what's going to happen

next. but i don't think it's going to be tomorrow that something is going to happen. but something will happen. you can't have a law that is -- >> reid called bundy and his supporters domestic terrorists. the supreme court making it clear that states are free to tell colleges that race can't be a factor when it comes to the admission process. this upheld michigan's constitutional amendment that bans affirmative action. fox news contributor charles krauthammer praising the decision, saying the issue should be decided on a state by state basis. >> we leave the decision of affirmative action up to the people, which is exactly the way you want to do it in a diverse democracy with a troubled history, let each region and state decide on its own. >> eight states have measures similar to the one in michigan. caught on cam remarks new video showing a pair of tsa agents giving two young children foul body pat-downs at a u.s.

>> the school district releasing a statement saying posting students' names is a common practice and doesn't violate any privacy rules. those are your headlines. back over to you. >> thank you very much. we did ask you to and tweet us about that story and they've been coming in. you know what? we've got people feeling one way, folks feeling the other. >> that's right. jim from new jersey saying put their names up there. it's how we grew up and it made us want to keep our names off the wall. >> some have said we just put the guys that passed it up there. that might have been easier. steve from st. louis says managers should never criticize or demean people in front of their peers and i learned that in school the school administrators in this report missed that class. >> all right. keep e-mailing us 'cause we're interested in the story. let's go on outside. maria molina standing by. those are the folks that were holding the sign up in front of our building. >> yeah, that's right. i found some friends out here. they're originally from nebraska, but moved to virginia and what brings you out here

here. what is unconstitutional about a school that gives the freedom and choice to kids to say the pledge of allegiance or not? >> by government having teachers lead their classes every single day, year after year in this recitation of the pledge with under god in it, it discriminate against people like me and my family and other families who don't happen to believe in god. >> i hear what you're saying, but i'm still looking and i could be just because i'm a mom with three kids and get off to school and after school, a lot going on. but i'm finding it hard to find a violation of the constitution while giving kids the choice to say the pledge or not. they do have the choice in this school to say it or not as they please. where is the violation there? >> it's not really much of a choice. you're basically saying say the pledge and participate in this oath that you don't believe in because of those words, under god, that were inserted, or don't say the pledge and risk being ostracized and bullied

because you don't believe as others believement that's not a choice government should be putting on my kids and other kids. >> i guess i'm just thinking about this, trying to be as practical as possible here, 'cause i think instead of litigation, we should be having conversation instead of wasting funding on schools having to defend themselves here. those resources should be straight up given to the kids. but why then, if kids are then given the choice, i'm still seeing a freedom of choice there and i'm just having difficulty locating a violation of the constitution. it seems this is more of a bullying case, right? so the schools should get that under control? >> well, there is bullying involved, but it's bullying that government is leading. that's what's wrong here. it's one thing if bullying occurs. we should do what we can to stop it. but when government says you have to lead the pledge that includes under god in it, that discriminates against my kids, my family, that's wrong. it makes that formerly ininclusive pledge exclusive and that's wrong, too. >> this school that is actually now facing a lawsuit here is not

making the kids say the pledge of allegiance. my freedom of religion doesn't mean that i have the right to erase somebody else's. so why are you choosing removal of freedom, taking the freedom away from these kids as a solution here when it could be handled by having great discussion in the school, the cycle needs to get a grip on the bullying and instead of this litigation, why can't there be a common sense solution? >> we don't have a problem with kids praying if they want to pray. what we do have a problem with is government leading that prayer. that's what they're trying to do by the insertion of under god in 1954 to distinguish the u.s. from communist russia, was an effort to add religion into the pledge. that shouldn't have happened and it's about time we do something about it. >> do you believe that the pledge of allegiance is a prayer? >> i think adding under god in it makes it feel like a prayer. having to stand and say it and having the under god in the pledge makes it seem like a prayer where it shouldn't be.

>> seeming and being are two different things. a violation of the constitution doesn't seem to be -- i think removing the ability and freedom for those to express their religion as we are afforded by our rights is being suggested by you. why take a freedom away to make someone more comfortable here? i don't think anybody should be bullied. i think we can yeah there. but you're actually asking to take away the right when we should be able to exist side by side, you and i, i'm not asking you to take your beliefs out. >> i'm certainly not asking to take away anyone's rights and i would stand up for the rights of all to believe or not believe as they see fit. but government shouldn't get involved in choosing a side on that question. government shouldn't say god belief or no god belief. that shouldn't be part of the pledge. either way. >> seems to be that the kids have a choice here. the violation is hard to find. i don't love what's going on, but i love you and i would love to continue our conversation like this any time right here on

"fox & friends." thanks. >> thank you. well, we know what it's like to walk in each other's shoes at times. former co-host of "the view," i believe, debbie matenopoulos is walking in now to tell bus what she has secretly been doing over the past few years. i have faith she's going to tell us. how are you? we're going to check in with bill hemmer. >> nice. that's a good reunion. well done. looking forward to that good morning. more proof middle class america is being battered. steve forbes on that today. u.s. troops on the move in eastern europe. what what are they up to? what has washed ashore in australia? is this a piece of flight 370? we'll debate when martha and i see you in ten minutes on "america's newsroom" do everything but wrinkle in it. the perfect fitting no-iron fortless shirt
