described as a temporary comedy bringing barbie's playful personality to life, bill. we will see. bill: so funny. martha: "happening now" starts right now, everybody. bye-bye. ♪ jon: a supposedly independent watchdog for the department of homeland security now accused of playing politics. good thursday morning. jenna: a troubling report accusing the former inspector general of cozying up to the obama administration given department heads the inside track on investigations even covering up the secret service numbers accused of hiring prostitutes. we go to our chief intelligence correspondent. reporter: this is a significant report because it is bipartisan with oversight of homeland

security and substantiate allegations that first surfaced about a year ago of the acting inspector general of homeland security. alleging charles k edwards acting inspector general for 2011-2013 ordered them to strike negative information about the secret service and evidence implicating a white house staff member related to the 2012 investigation of secret service members accused of hiring prostitutes in colombia. more staff members came forward and other reports claiming he routinely shared information about investigators with senior administration officials on the secretaries watch. this was seen as an effort to carry favor and for edward to eventually become a permanent inspector general of homeland security. a position that is supposed to be independent. ron johnson and claire mccaskill issuing a statement concluding based on these allegations and their investigations that the

homeland security department inspector general was compromised during this period they found mr. edwards jeopardized the independence of the homeland security department inspector general during his departure there. he spent two decades the federal government and abruptly resigned a few days before he was expected to face aggressive questioning before the senate committee, jenna. jenna: if this is a bipartisan report. >> this is extremely important because it strips away any issues it is politically motivated. jenna: thank you. >> you're welcome. jon: troubling accusations on capitol hill. for more on the fallout, let's check in with the associate editor for the hill. editor the national review and fox news contributor.

sort of set the scene for us, department of homeland security has the third biggest budget of any federal department? >> oh, yes. not only an enormous department, but a very significant job, a challenging job and often conflict ridden job for the agency you are working within, essential to preserving the credibility and legitimacy of the operations of government. what was uncovered was senator johnson found in looking at the investigation of the secret service there were troubling allegations from whistleblowers and bipartisan investigation determined charles edwards was doing the opposite of what an ig is supposed to do. he was not uncovering the truth, but covering up the truth. all in an effort to try and get a promotion to become the permanent ig. it is not a lot of gray matter

here. this is black and white, this is a very corrupt story because it undermines not only the department of homeland security, secret service and also the immigration agency, but really the whole government. if you have an ig that is not working. jon: they have reportedly hired prostitutes drinking on the job, that kind of thing. this guy was charged with doing the investigation, and report concluded there are no big problem at the agency, the folks at the secret service are good americans doing their job. what a number of other agency investigators or whistleblowers tried to question that, he suspended them, put them on leave. >> he retaliated against the whistleblowers. it does not nailed down the secret service thing quite as

firmly as it does these other reports because they could not get access to the e-mail. i doubt this is the last we will hear of this. this shouldn't be the last we will hear of this. it is an enormous department of government basically dysfunctional since its creation and literally reaching out and touches every american who was in this country. this is a department who desperately needs an independent in the inspector general, and that's what it didn't have in this case, and this is why if you want to exhibit a why americans are cynical about government, this is it. jon: and apparently when he was opposed to be called to testify in front of his committee, he was allowed to resign his post as acting inspector general a few days ahead of time but he is still working for the federal government, he still has a job doing something the office of

science and technology apparently. >> i think that is really outrageous and not the only case within the federal government where someone has gotten into some kind of trouble or questionable ethics or something under investigation where they continue to get a paycheck and work for the government. one of the most stunning things about this really that mr. edwards not only admitted that he was closer to the staff around former secretary of homeland security janet napolitano than his own staff, but he was seeking their legal help and refused to deal with people on his own staff, that really should have been, i think, a lightbulb and people should have known sooner an ig was cozying up to staff around

the secretary with the top level staffers not working closely with his own staff. you would help in the future that would be something that congress and the staff pay close attention to. jon: janet napolitano is not saying anything, cannot comment. the impression of reading the account of the investigation is that this was a guy that was willing to do whatever he could to sort of whitewash things at the department he was supposed to be keeping an eye on to make the executives happy. does that go all the way to the white house? what should president obama do of a situation like this? >> he should urge every way to cooperate with the investigation. we can't comment until we see the report. this guy had almost been a de facto number of napolitano top

staff. relying on top people for political advice for legal advice and had inappropriate and wrong and counter to federal law which says you have to be independent, obviously, if you're going to be an inspector general. again it is very important if people are going to have trust in the government that these sort of functions work and that when someone is so flagrantly running a follow the way the system works, at least they get fired. we see in the irs scandal, now in this you can do basically anything at the federal government and still preserve your job. jon: $39 billion budget, and ana guy who is a post be keeping an eye on it all is apparently fudging the numbers and taking a lot of shortcuts. it is just unbelievable. more shoes to drop. we will see if those e-mails come out involving the secret service affair. thank you both.

>> thank you, john. jenna: new details emerg emergif the deadly attack on an international hospital in kabul, afghanistan. a father and his son. the latest debbie attack against foreign nationals this year. so for the exact motive remains a mystery. >> one of the police security guards opened fire. one of them was wounded in the incident. it has been taken to the hospital. were going to investigate. jenna: he is joining us from jerusalem. connor. report back in recent years with a dramatic increase in number of attacks on westerners and foreigners living and working in afghanistan. sometimes carried out by the taliban, other times random isolated events.

it is not clear with the motivation is behind this attack whether or not it was a taliban sponsored attack or something random. according to witness who were there, five or six people entering into the international hospital run by pennsylvani pennsylvania-based charity, they were entering the compound security checkpoint as they were walking in a guard at the hospital, somebody on the staff at the hospital opened fire, u.s. embassy confirming all three dead are american doctors working on short-term medical trips to the country to help afghans. they are not releasing the names of any of those killed just yet. also an american female nurse injured, she partl poorly rights in stable condition. the afghan student was injured during the attack alive and in custody and ironically receiving medical treatment at the hospital where he just attack. the taliban has not taken credit for this which may or may not be

attacked, or connected to insurgents. one thing we are seeing a real chilling effect on the work of international workers in afghanistan, there are dramatic numbers of them leaving across the country getting out of the country because of the rise of attacks on foreigners working there. it has a real chilling affect. those hurt the most are the afghans, needing medical help, needing education. the international community in addition to the military are leaving the country and it has a chilling effect on the future of that country. jenna: connor, thank you. jon: our hearts go out to those doctors. why the sec is firing back at reports it will shatter the oakland internet rule. what that means for your computer use and your wallet coming up. in minnesota homeowner on trial for murdering two teenagers. how his own home surveillance recordings could be used as evidence against him.

home invaders as "vermin," less than human. he felt he was cleaning up a mess worse than vomit. he felt he was doing his civic duty. the audio records the shots being fired. they can be heard screaming and groaning after they are shot. a point after the girl is shot when smith's rifle jams. he is heard saying sorry about that before he switches weapons and fires again, jenna. jenna: what does it look like his defense strategy is? that he was defending himself after he had already shot the intruders once? >> well, his home had been robbed before. he said among the items stolen before were weapons. you can see them build the case that they had reason to fear the invaders could be or would be robbed. he said all along he was terrified because a series of break and that his home. he laid in wait and this was a premeditated killing.

jon: what a story. a carjacking outside a day care center. the suspect taking off with a child still inside the vehicle. we are live with breaking news on that. plus, the governors of two of the largest most popular states. now new reaction to the challenge issued by governor rick perry. what texas and new york face off in a business debate? joining us live moments from now. i think the biggest value of truecar...

we are now just learning governor cuomo has declined. all the highlights between the two largest states of jobs, economy and health care issues. taking time from doing a bit of job postings to join us now. do you mind that term, job poach in? >> i think it might be a bit extreme. we give folks just the truth, given the opportunity to take a look at where they would be most comfortable. companies like facebook, ebay, relocated or expanded in the state of texas at record levels. wealth is leaning states like california and new york migrating to other states. we had 5 million people moved the state of texas over the last decade or the population increased by 1000 plus people per day moving in the state of texas.

i think that is very hard to argue that they are not coming there because of any other reason than they are in search of freedom from overregulation, still workforce. it is a good comparison to have, one of the reasons i ask the governor to sit down in a public way and talk about these policies because at the end of the day how the states do freeing the states from the one-size-fits-all mentality that comes out of washington, d.c., is really healthy for america. jon: we do this segment, new york versus texas segment, but we are talking about american jobs and most of the american jobs have been created, texas has creat 30%. 30% of all the jobs created in the country in texas. is that just because of lower taxes? >> the tax policy, revelatory

policy, legal policy and accountable public schools. we have seen our test scores headed up, substantial increase. over 100% increase in hispanic participation. people in texas know the state is on an upward trajectory. tied for the third highest in america, those are the types of trajectory you see the state on. jon: one of the issues being fought out is some call it a land grab. there is a texas rancher who lost 100 acres to the land government. >> we certainly don't need a good replication of that in the state of texas. we hope the federal government is thoughtful about bringing

armed agents in, the other texas agencies involved in this. private property rights which we believe in texas. the federal government needs to have a discussion about getting out of the land ownership business. the wiser and better federal government look at all these pieces of property they either have ownership or thing to have ownership, the ownership from a federal level and bring it back to private hands. that only will the country be more economically sound, but more likely it implemented will be better taken care of. jon: am largely rejected whatever they can of obamacare

implementation. speak otherwise it think we have made the right decision as we see the debacle of rolling this out. some people would say the total miss her visitation what this legislation was. a great example of it. texans don't necessarily trust washington, d.c., to be the place that can deliver health care the best for them. they believe the decision she made at the local level in austin, texas. i would suggest to you all across this country andrew cuomo would be a better fit for the health care decision to be made from new york. there are some things i am jealous. jon: let me touch on this.

bringing back the bodies of american servicemen who died. >> this project, there have been around for 22 years, private-sector effort, a technology biotech expert out in san francisco, were trying to recruit his business to the state some seven years ago and he shared with me his passion of going to the area, retrieving the remains from world war ii servicemen who have been lost and unfortunately forever had not done for him. i took a 91-year-old navy seal, we went back and helped search, we had some success, and the closure to be able to bring home the remains of someone who the family forever quizzical about

what happened, the closure of being able to do that is a powerful gift to those families. my hats off to them for doing that. jon: you are busy guy. first it seems be be running well itself. >> the matter where you are coming in keep up with what is going on in the world. 140 days every other year. new york should take a look at that. jon: thank you very much. jenna: changes to be looming for the tea party ge content on the talk about politics. what about this year? take a look at the movement in general and midterm elections by the movement. and if federal proposal could affect your family in several ways. how companies taking the fast lane on the internet could hurt and help you. melissa francis will be here with that.

jenna: still to come on "happening now," we are live on capitol hill from midterms. it is a topic of the panel today coming up in just a few moments. a hunt for a man who threw a molotomulticultural and a minim. whilone republican help them ou. and a shipwreck more than 125 years ago just rediscovered off the golden gate bridge. what is happening to the bridge

now? jon: federal relay glitters offering broadband providers to offer premium for faster access lanes on the internet. that means companies like netflix can pay internet service providers for faster delivery of video and other content to customers. it could have a big impact on net neutrality. for more on these proposed rules and the impact on you, let's check in with melissa francis. what is this all about, melissa? >> have your card watch netflix on sunday night when everybody else is trying to binge on "house of cards" and it slows down, buffering. it is not very clear. many people are trying to watch at the same time. this provides a fast lane companies like netflix would totally depend on the intent for their business can happen to and paid to be a part of so you get better service. that is what it is about.

jon: so how is all of this being received? >> with any compromise, a lot of are unhappy. they're pretty happy, they have a whole new revenue stream. but the little guy is very unhappy, the new guy who may be the start up in the slow lane state is even a slower disadvantage so that is a kind of business that is not thrilled about it. jon: what about the winners and losers? >> it really separates into two groups. folks like netflix and google and the ones who depend on the internet for the entire business are thrilled, they have very deep pockets, happy to reach into them to provide a better service. cable providers are happy because this it costs money to build the pipes, so many people on the internet, we need another form of revenue. anybody trying to back any start up or get into the business, they'rthey are the ones complaig

the loudest right now. jon: what about the politics of it, how does this breakdown? >> net neutrality they are calling it, meaning everybody is created equal on the internet. because you have more money does not mean you should be able to go faster. net neutrality was a big part of the president's campaign in 2008. i don't think we will hear him talking a lot about this particular decision. jon: where does it go from here? >> we will hear vote on it in about a month. they're going to try to set the rates that can be charged. that is for the details are going to come in. they say they will not price the little guy out of the market, but i think there will be a lot of backlash against this at the same time it feels a little bit inevitable given the way technology is moving.

it is a terrific point, at the end of the day this means if you're one of those people who use the services, it is going to cost more but will probably be a better service. there you go. jon: melissa francis, thank you. >> my pleasure. jenna: will look at the state power of the tea party movement. yesterday in our show fox news contributor spoke about where he believes tea party members see themselves on the political spectrum. >> one of the thanks a lot of us haven't focused on enough in the commentary is that a lot of tea party people these days will not call themselves republicans. they call themselves independents. jenna: where we see independents in paul's, we should consider this. >> a lot of those people are pretty hard-core conservatives was so fed up with what they consider to be republican establishment sellout and all of

that, they don't call themselves republicans. jenna:'s we wanted to go directly to the source on this. "new york times" best-selling author. libertarian manifesto. the tea party patriots citizens, it is nice to have you both. we have been talking a lot about the tea party movement in general. it is nice to have you on the program. do you agree with what you hear on the folks that you are round, melissa was a morris independents rather than republicans? >> very much so. it was always defined by set of ideas, set of values and the goal to take back washington, d.c., from insiders of both parties. i think that is exactly what is going on. not just the tea party, there are a lot of voters getting fed up with the partisan affiliations. they want to see washington actually focus on the ideas that matter.

at the margin we're shifting that conversation in a fundamental way. a lot of republicans used to be arguing we shouldn't run against obamacare talking about a patient centered approach now. i think that is a victory. jenna: do you check independent? >> i'm registered as a republican which is about as lonely as it gets. jenna: how do you approach it personally? do you see yourself more the independent? what you do your friends and colleagues think? >> before started i was active in the republican party. i am not any longer. i consider myself an american first and foremost. what we have seen in washington, d.c., is that the parties focus so much on the party, not what is best for america. now $17 trillion in debt, $50,000 per household. we need to be focused what we need to do so we can all have

more personal and economic freedom. jenna: a big question about the impact you can have now moving forward into this election season and beyond. "time" magazine had an interesting article. it goes on, the first line the tea party wanting this year continuing to say basically the movement is not taken down any of the top targets and that it isn't as relevant as it once was. your response to that. >> you look at almost any republican running for office today, they are running against obamacare, running on executive power talking about individual freedoms. i think at the margin we're not going to be able to win as many of these challenges against incumbents have we has in the past because if you were to choose from but we have endorsed 15 different candidates, the fact there are so many

intriguing candidates out there running as republicans is a good sign. jenna: do you agree with that or disagree with that? >> it has become part of the vernacular for the g.o.p., part of what even some democrats say. we know the messages we support, the values we care about are in line with the american people, and things that will help candidates win. there are candidates all over the country who support our values. you can see tuesday's special election in florida where we endorsed kurt, and he won. he has a progrowth economic plan. jenna: interesting. even if it is not directly the battle that perhaps we saw in 2010 between the incumbent and somebody new on the stage representing the tea party movement.

a question about money if you would, what is it like out there, are you able to raise the same funds you were in 2010, 2012? where does the buck stop? >> we are actually raising a lot of money from smaller donors and that is a whole decentralization of politics happening in 2014. we will never outspend the establishment. they have all the friends in washington. we don't need that anymore because the community on the ground, the blues on the ground, that is how we will win the fight. jenna: did the scandal have a chilling effect whether or not the irs is targeting certain organizations? >> it sure did in 2012. there is still that intimidation going on. the reaction from the grassroots pushing against the irs rules got them at least to push back until after the 2014 elections. they will keep coming after us because we matter in this process.

jenna: is the money still as strong as it once was? >> we are doing very well with fundraising. we have hundreds of thousands of donors. we hav don't have million-dollar donors, but we have hundred thousands of donors making a difference, and w we're spreadig our message around the country. jenna: "time" magazine seems to think you are running out of steam, but we will be checking back in with you over the course of the next several months to see where you are going next. great to have you both, thank you very much. >> thank you. jon: is not the kind of violence we are used to seeing in the u.s. a guy throws a molotov cocktail into a convenience store. investigation into this shocking crime coming up. electronic cigarettes all the rage these days, some 4 million americans puffing on the battery operated nicotine inhalers.

evening before coming back with the makeshift explosive. police are asking the public's help in finding this guy described as 30 to 40 years old, hispanic, 5'8"-5'10" wearing sunglasses and a dark hooded sweatshirt. jenna: dramatic developments in a carjacking outside a day care center in houston for the suspects jumped into a parked car and made off with the vehicle while the child was still inside. live with more on this. reporter: it is a parent's worst nightmare, but thankfully the story has a happy ending. a carjacker stole the vehicle with a boy inside. it happened just after 7:00 this morning in southeast houston. the mom left the seven-year-old in the car while she dropped off her younger child at the little bo peep center on evergreen drive. while it was parked outside, they jumped in and took off. a day care worker said stop the

car. the car hit the brakes about a block away and turned the corner. police say the boy was let out of the car two blocks away from the center. it was an emotional scene as the boy was reunited with his grateful mom. >> god saved him. >> when you sell your car was gone, what did you pray? >> i prayed my son was okay. reporter: police that the boy was unharmed. the car was abandoned and is being processed by investigators. police are still hunting for the carjacker. the boy described the driver as a hispanic man in his 20s or 30s last seen wearing a peach colored shirt. thank goodness the boy is okay. jenna: a close call. thank you. jon: just in, the fda announcing plans to crack down on the

$2 billion per year electronic cigarette industry. regulations including banning the sale of thes you cigaretteso minors as well as requiring warning labels. for more on this, john roberts is live in atlanta. reporter: a big change, for the very first time they are applying many of the same rules that apply to cigarettes to other tobacco and nicotine products including pipe tobacco, little cigars, hookah tobacco and you cigarettes. they figur vaporize oil. they would have to submit product and ingredient listings to the fda, include warning labels, prohibit marketing and advertising. prohibit claims of risk on the e-cigarettes and install minimum age and id restrictions. they say it is about time. >> this regulation is extraordinarily long overdue.

we have been waiting to see something out of the fda for this on three years. it has been stuck at the white house for six months. this is a very welcome the proposal, and we're anxious to do a very careful and thorough analysis of it. report back one aspect that many are disappointed, not proposing a ban of the flavored oils designed to get young people hooked on nicotine. for the most part they are okay with the recommendations. one of the co-owners that they agree with, what they quibble with our the proposed bans on advertising and making claims e-cigarettes are safer alternative to tobacco they could help people to quit. >> the people we serve and find out about this product and long-term benefits they are

having giving healthier lifestyles, i definitely think it is something that has to be made aware of. reporter: depending on potential legal action, some companies may sue the fda to block these regulations. it could be years before they take effect. jon: john roberts joining us live from atlanta. thank you. jenna: a interesting and scary story coming up. a new study gives new meaning to dirty money. you will not believe how dirty your dollar bill really is. disturbing details we have for you in a live report, plus a major discovery underwater. a sp wreck of more than 125 years. we have that story next.

jenna: brand-new developments in the sinking of a ship more than a century ago in san francisco bay with the wreckage we discovered some 125 years later. live in los angeles with this incredible story. we said it is around the golden gate bridge. how close is it? >> it is pretty much right next to it. think about how may people have driven golden gate bridge over this shipwreck and did not realize the shi shipwreck that s back to 1888. when the city of chester crashed on a foggy morning. a captain took a wrong turn, hit another ship, the oceanic, and the chester sank in six minutes. 15 people died. it has been sitting on the bottom of the san francisco bay ever since. laughter they found the wreckage looking at another shipwreck in the area. they began using sonar imaging and discovered the ship is pretty much intact.

historically it is not the titanic but it is still a big score. even though it is a big find, they are not planning on raising the ship. >> the city of chester sat on the bottom since 1888. the stories it is telling us now, we're talking about it again. we are talking about people who otherwise might have been forgotten. and in that, i think that's the best and the right thing for us to do. we will put an exhibit onshore. reporter: this is the second deadliest shipwreck in the san francisco bay. the first was in 1909, and that 1130 people died. jenna: i did not know anything about this ship. what about the other ship that crashed into the ship called the city of chester? >> that is very interesting according to a historical perspective, that ship is called the oceanic initially blamed for

the crash because it was carrying a number of chinese immigrants on the ship. back then there was a lot of anti-chinese sentiment going around. so the ship took the blame initially, turned out it wasn't responsible for the crash. some of the chinese immigrants went and save people's lives on the other ship, so a lot of that history now coming out more than 100 years later. jenna: thank you very much, fascinating story today. >> you bet. jon: we have some show changes to tell you about. we will be happening now at 11:00 a.m. eastern as usual, but that is when things get a little different. our second hour starts at 1:00 p.m. a new show, "outnumbered" debuts monday at noon. rotating cast of interesting members of the fox family will bring you the news with a twist. one man, for women. and even match in my book.

♪ jenna: just noon here on the east coast. we begin with brand new insight in the crucial elections and the all-important battle for control of the senate. hello, everybody, i'm jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott. with just months to go until november, most analysts believe republicans will add to their majority in the house of representatives, and recent polling suggests there's a good chance for the gop to retake the senate. but a new forecast from new york times upshot column and recent polling by the kaiser family foundation suggests some senate races might be tighter than once thought. and the times' analysis and state-by-state polling from real clear politics suggests there are a few key races in which democrats could hold on by their fingernails to retain their

six-seat senate majority. let's talk about all this with someone who might strongly disagree, karl rove is former deputy chief of staff for president george w. bush, also a fox news contributor. that new york times piece in particular suggests that some of the vulnerable democrats like mark pryor, kay hagan, mary landrieu, that they are doing better than had been expected and, in fact, are leading their races, karl. how do you see it? >> well, first of all, i think -- i accept the fact that this is going to be a hard-fought battle right up to the end, and many of these races are toss-ups. but let's put aside for the moment "the new york times" and kaiser family foundation poll because it was badly done. for example, in the state of arkansas which was won by mitt romney by 24 points, i think they had mitt romney among their sample having a one-point advantage. in north carolina which was won by romney by two points, in the sample president obama had a

seven-point advantage in recall from last year's election. in addition, they made no be effort whatsoever to try and get out of the sample people who were not likely to vote this year. for example, about a third of most of the states where people who basically said i didn't vote last time around, and you'd have a strong implication they weren't going to vote this time around. this was method be logically flawed. -- method logically flawed. even putting it aside, we have three races, west virginia, south dakota, montana where the real clear politics average lead between 11-17 points, and then we have four races in red states -- arkansas, alaska, louisiana, north carolina -- where the democrats, you know, in three of the four lead but by, you know, five points or less. couple of them are one-point leads, and the republicans lead by one of them by one. and then we have three blue states where the republicans lead by one, trail by one point many another and in new hampshire trail by nine.

all of those are competitive, so we're going to have one heck of a barn burner this fall, and how it's going to turn out is what happens every single day and the quality of the campaigns and the candidates' efforts themselves. jon: and there are three states, west virginia, south dakota, montana, that were represented by democrat senators, and all three of those senators are retiring or have gone on to other jobs. >> yeah. and those three open seats, as i said, the republicans lead by between 11-17 points, the republican candidates in west virginia, south dakota, congressman steve danes in montana are running strong campaign, and those three are likely to fall into republican hands. the question is out of the remaining four red states, the three blue states, one open seat, two incumbent democrats that have already become quite competitive and then four other blue states where the republicans could conceivably

have competitive races in the fall, how many of those fall in to republican hands, and do republicans hold on to their own seats, kentucky and georgia are the ones that people talk about as being the risk. but we'll see here in the weeks ahead. jon: let's talk about key issues. is obamacare issue thurm one? >> well, it's a big issue. i'm not certain it's bigger than the economy. people believe the government's spending too much money, that we have too few jobs, paychecks are suffering. that's probably a bigger issue. but obamacare's a part and parcel of that because a lot of families are now seeing that they're paying higher premiums and higher deductibles as a result of the affordable care act. so obamacare has become an economic issue as well as a health issue. jon: you've got kathleen sebelius having resigned, you've got president obama saying don't worry, this thing's going to work out all right, you know? give it time, and everybody's going to be happy with it. whether he's right or wrong, can

democrats convince voters by the time the governor elections roll around, you know, to give them another shot? >> well, i think that depends upon, first of all, the question of credibility. after all, most of these members of congress and members of the senate running for re-election said the same things about if you like your plan, you can keep it, your premiums are going to go down, your health care costs are going to drop, if you like your doctor, you can keep it. things we now know simply not to be true. so first of all, they've got a credibility issue. second of all, the things the administration are saying are at conflict with what people, most people are seeing in their lives. for example, the president says this is now a settled issue, everything's hunky dory. well, tell that to the millions of americans who lost their coverage, and even if they were able to replace that coverage, have found their premiums and deductibles are higher, and they don't have access to their hospitals. for example, take new hampshire. jeanne shaheen voted for the affordable care act, and now the

exchange -- the insurance policies available through the exchange, the obamacare exchange in the state of new hampshire, do not include most of the hospitals in the state. there's only one hospital in the state out of, i think, 13 or 14 that's covered by that health care policy. jon: yeah. >> so people are having to drive literally hours to get to a hospital that's covered by their insurance policy. they're not happy about that, and they'll express that unhappiness this fall. jon: you just can't use it anywhere nearby. >> right. and we're likely to see a round of premium increases this fall. remember, the people who have signed up are disproportionately older. the administration did not come close at all to the 40% target it had fur enrolling -- for enrolling people in the exchanges under 35. they wanted four out of every ten to be under the age of 35. it looks like it's basically one out of four, not four out of ten, and as a result, the actuaries at those insurance companies are going to be figuring the premiums and deduct

deductibles for next year, and that's going to be coming up. jon: karl rove, thank you. >> you bet. jenna: deadly violence between government troops and pro-russian separates in the ukraine. reports say at least two pro-russian fighters were killed in clashes at checkpoints in this key city about 100 miles west of the russian border. this is as the government in kiev restarts a so-called anti-terror aimed at taking back several eastern cities. leland vitterts is streaming live from ukraine with the latest. leland? >> reporter: and, jenna, it's so difficult at times like this to separate actual facts from the wartime propaganda. suffice it to say, there was an assault on a number of the checkpoints held by the russian separatists around this key town. however, a number of those checkpoints fell. we don't know how many have now returned to the separatists hands in a counterawe tack. his -- attack.

it does not appear the ukrainians have really tried to sweep the separatists fully out of this town in the sense that the reports from inside don't show ukrainian troops on the ground, no attacks on the main buildings, the police station or the city hall that is all held by the separatists. the separatists are very well dug in, very well armed. a number of these buildings already have sniper nets built in there, and the separatists we have talked to said they are willing to stay and fight for what they have already gotten, and they say they are, for that matter, willing to fight and die to keep the ukrainian military from moving forward and want to make eastern ukraine either an independent state or possibly even, jenna, parking lot of russia. back to you. jenna: what is the russian response today? >> reporter: well, president putin came out swinging today. he called this, quote, a very serious crime on the part of the ukrainian government, and today again launched military drills

on the ukrainian border. this is the second time this week he has done so and says he reserves the right to use force, threatening, basically, an invasion of eastern ukraine to not only protect russian citizens, but also to protect russian interests here in eastern ukraine. he's flexing his muscle once again. 40,000 troops right now are on the ukrainian border just waiting for the invasion order to come down. it is the ukrainians who are trying to walk that very fine line between simply rolling over and giving up a large portion of their country versus giving the russians a pretext to launch an invasion, whether today's actions by the ukrainian government because give russia -- does give russia that pretext, we'll have to wait about 48 hours to find out. jenna: leland, thank you. jon: new calls for further investigations of a veterans affairs hospital in phoenix accused of neglect and horrible mismanagement. those reports sparking fears that perhaps 40 veterans might have died as a result, i should

say, of delayed medical treatment. u.s. senators john mccain and jeff flake now pushing for answers from the va. molly henneberg live from washington. molly? >> reporter: senators mccain and flake want the senate to investigate immediately to try to figure out what's going on in the phoenix, arizona, veterans affairs health system. specifically, were there two waiting lists for veterans needing medical care? reportedly, there was an unofficial waiting list, and veterans' names could be on it for months or even years before they were moved to the official appointment list and were scheduled to see a doctor. the purpose be of two lists, according to whistleblowers, was to make it look like the va was seeing patients in a timely manner. these reports have infuriated arizona republican senator john mccain who sent a letter to the secretary of veterans affairs, eric shinseki, demanding answers about the two-list system and voicing his, quote, deep concerns regarding allegations of gross mismanagement and neglect of the

phoenix va health system. mccain also goes on to ask about report that is the phoenix va health system reportedly paid out bonuses to va officials for reducing wait times even though those reductions only curred by manipulating wait lists. how many officials received bonuses, what did each official receive as a bonus? and we've just gotten a statement from the veterans affairs department here in washington responding to these allegations of misconduct at the phoenix va. it says the va has, quote: >> r eporter: sharon helmand, the medical director of the phoenix va, says she has never directed staff to have a secret waiting list. jon? jon: wow. let's hope they can get to the

bottom of that story. that's pretty terrible. molly henneberg, thank you. jenna: well, a disturbing new revelation in the south korea ferry disaster. what a crew member is telling investigates as the grim search for victims drags on. jon: plus, in colorado it's legal to sell pot but only to adults. where the marijuana is showing up and causing a huge fuss. jenna: and, jon, he may have gotten away with it before. not this time though. you see that little thing on his neck right there? a new york pitcher in hot water. for just that, something that he had on his neck. jon: tattoo? jenna: not a tattoo. you're outta here. we'll explain. ♪ ♪

jenna: this just in, the marshall islas taking on the u.s. and the world, the tiny pacific nation filing an unprecedented lawsuit demanding all nine nuclear

powers work towards disarmament. that region was used for dozens of u.s. nuclear tests after world war ii. the marshall islands now claim the u.s. and others are modernizing arsenals and estimates those nations will spend more than $1 trillion on those arsenals over the next ten years. an interesting case we'll continue to watch. jon: there's a major drawback to tell you about regarding colorado's recreational marijuana law. the drug is becoming more accessible not only to adults, but also to children. some fourth graders now being suspended for selling the drug at school. alicia acuna live in denver for us. how did the schools find out about this, alicia? >> reporter: hi, jon. another student told, this is someone who wasn't involved, and this person told school officials that on monday he or she saw another student selling pot to other kids. and on tuesday another student tried to trade an edible marijuana item for some loose

leaf pot from the young pot dealer, a total of four students -- all age 10 -- were involved. the one who took a bite of the edible had a medical exam, all okay there. the kids got the pot from adults who, apparently, bought it legally. >> it was the simple fact that we had adults that didn't secure the marijuana, and that sure is concerning because this would have never happened had the marijuana not been so accessible for 10-year-old boys. >> reporter: now, the city of greeley, jon, opted out of legal marijuana sales, but adults can still possess. jon: and what is the school telling parents about, you know, the other kids who may be dealing here? >> reporter: right. well, the school principal sent a letter to parents to let them know what happened, and in it she explains that no student was injured by using this substance but urged all parents who buy legal marijuana products to treat them just like they would prescription drugs, alcohol or

firearms writing, quote: this drug is potentially lethal to children and should always be kept under lock and key away from young people. >> a 4-year-old's not going to know the difference between eating a candy bar or pot whatever, right? so that's an issue. that's going to be up to the parents. >> reporter: earlier we were told that these kids were going to be suspended. that has changed. the school is now saying that they will, though, discipline heavily. jon? jon: yeah. that legal marijuana law has brought up all kinds of thorny issues. thank you. jenna: new developments in the murder trial of a man accused of killing two teenagers. byron smith says he shot them in self-defense, but prosecutors say growing evidence suggests otherwise. how smith's own home surveillance is being used against him. and a new era in storm forecasting. how drones are being used to predict tornadoes. ♪ i know a thing about an ira

know? there's this idea that when someone breaks into your home, they're there to cause you serious bodily harm or possibly even kill you. but that is a rebuttable presumption as many presumptions are in law. and this is a wonderful case for that, you know, legally speaking. obviously, it's not wonderful, it's a terrible tragedy about what happened. but the bottom line is, this guy killed these two people, and there's a recording that rebuts the claim of self-defense, and those are his own statements, and the things that he did. he told this one person, you're dead. that's not someone, you know, under those conditions acting in their own self-defense. he acted in anger. jenna: do you agree, ashley, that that's what these recordings show? >> i think these audio recordings seriously undermine his defense. i think that they do hurt -- >> absolutely. >> -- because it turns on those few moment 40s, pre-- moments, premeditation, essentially, can be developed in just a few moments. so he could have started out in self-defense, but it could have

turned, and that's where this case really hinges. i think the more likely scenario is that it was a heat of passion type murder where it started out as self-defense, he truly believed it was self-defense, he didn't plan it out, but then he just got overwhelmed by the emotions and took it too far. and i do think that's going to hurt in his case, ultimately. newjenna: brian, we don't hear a lot about the two teenagers that were sneaking into his house. we do hear on the audio recording a window break. you actually hear them breaking into the house. he was in his basement awaiting them, the boy gets shot first and killed and then the girl as well. the reason why we don't hear a lot about their background is that the prosecutors have been really successful in making sure we don't know too much about the teenagers and what they were doing or what they were up to, but does that pose a problem for the prosecutors, that they were the ones sneaking into his house? >> you know, i think that's really a superficial concern. as a trial lawyer, my attitude is always to embrace the bad facts, you know? you don't want to be perceived by a jury as covering something

or hiding something, and let's face it, the kids were in a place they didn't belong. they were burglarizing his home. but that's not the question. the question is when this guy pulled the trigger, was it legally justified? and even though there's a presumption warbarred any other -- barred any other information that they be the case, we have evidence in this particular case that proves otherwise, and that's why he's guilty and should be convicted. jenna: let's take it from a different point of view though, ashley, again, going back to the operating surveillance system, the cell phone jamming device, it might sound like a lot to us, but there's those of us out there that have an alarm system on the house, the lights go on, you have a watchdog. maybe this is what he was doing just to give him the benefit of the doubt here, right? let's do that. >> right. jenna: he did hide in the basement because he said he was waiting for an an accomplice, and that's why he was concerned, he didn't call anyone until the next morning. as to defense be, does that speak to his mental state?

>> definitely. and the fact that he had been victimized before. people had tried to break into his house before. that's why he had all this surveillance, that's why he was poised and ready to defend his property. he was a victim of a home invasion, and he was rightfully scared in that home invasion. the question, unfortunately for him, is going to be whether or not he took it too far when he could have safely retreated. because once the threat was over and he had shot those individuals and he was safe, whether or not he could retreat at that point into safetyover whether or not he needed to take those further steps. >> i've got to disagree on one point, you know, if i may. you know, one thing that i think speaks volumes about this guy, no one is bothered by the fact that he has surveillance cameras, but how many people have a cell phone jamming device, you know? that really bothers me. it sounds to me like this guy is waiting in ambush for someone to break into his home so he can pull that trigger. and we know there's a lot of people that are like that out there. they carry guns waiting for the day where they can actually shoot someone.

and to have that cell phone, i mean, i just think -- jenna: i'm sure the defense and some or our viewers might take offense to that characterization, of people just waiting with guns to do something. >> well, we see these cases all the time. jenna: let me just leave it for this particular case, the issue is that he did shoot both teenagers and then went up to them and shot them again at point-blank rage, and that really change -- range. and that really changes it. we didn't get to that today, but we certainly will. brian, ashley, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. jon: one crew member from that deadly south korean ferry accident is speaking out now. the shocking order she says she was given as the ship was sinking with hundreds of people, mostly teenagers, onboard. and fox news uncovers a defense contract that's undermining u.s. sanctions on russia over the ukraine crisis. the lucrative deal that's benefiting a top russian official. starts with back pain...

jon: "happening now," the official death toll increase in the south korea ferry disaster one crew member says she and her colleagues were ordered to abandon ship while passengers were still trapped on board. david piper dreaming live from bangkok, thailand. david? >> reporter: hi, jon, yes. south korea is continuing to grief the loss of so many of its young people, one school in particular south of the capitol seoul has been hardest hit bit

disaster. students returnedded to class at high school. almost 250 students and teachers from the school are confirmed dead or missing. flowers and notes covered the desks of the missing students. classes at first will be used to help students deal with the loss. the ferry was carrying 476 passengers, closely high school students going on a trip to a resort island. only 174 people were saved. what has been shocking for the people of south korea is that all but seven of ships 29 crewmembers survived. reports suggest that no evacuation order was given immediately. and people were told to stay in their rooms. 11 of the crew have been arrested in connection with abandoning, or failing to properly evacuate the ship including the captain. investigators still don't know why the ship capsized. they're looking at number of possibilities such as strong winds, ocean currents or improperly loaded freight. tracking data indicates that the ferry turned sharply just before

it began to list. some passengers also reported to have heard a loud bang before the ship began to list. meanwhile dive times have been continuing difficult task of searching submerged up side down ferry today. they moved further into the ship to retrieve bodies. it seems really no hope there could, any survivors within the ship. thank you, jon. jon: been a long time. david piper, reporting live from bangkok. thank you. jenna: jon, new developments in another tragedy. the rest of the mt. everest climbing season is now in jeopardy following a deadly avalanche that killed 16 sherpa guides last week. major expedition companies are canceling climbs and many sherpa guides are leave being mountain. the season hat not been officially canceled but unlikely anymore attempts to reach the summit will be made from that side of the mountain. jon: fox news confirms a top russian official is benefiting from a lucrative department of defense contract despite

sanctions in the wake of ukraine crisis. the deputy prime minister was among those targeted in a white house sanctions announcement but he is also tied to a deal to supply the u.s. air force with rockets. chief washington correspondent james rosen live from d.c. with more on that. james. >> reporter: jon, good afternoon. fox news has learned about a case in i with the u.s. itself may be undermining the very sanctions that president obama imposed on senior russian officials last month. he is deputy prime minister of the russian federation, a long-time putin ally, whose portfolio includes the russian spacek tore. he is also one of the 11 kremlin officials named in the sanctions announced by the obama white house on march 17. now meet the atlas v system which the u.s. air force uses to launch classified military satellites into space. this past january the air force awarded a no-bid contract, the latest in a series of them in fact worth a collective 2.5 billion to a joint venture between boeing and lockheed martin, called the

united launch agency or ula. ula is providing to the air force 30 sick rockets or booster cores in the use of atlas v and other launch systems but the engines used in the atlas v, care seen liquid okay again unit manufactured and supplied to ula, a kremlin controlled firm. and that firm is overseen by regazan the man president obama sanctioned last month. >> there is an impetus for ula to go out and purchase as many russian engines as possible before future sanctions go place. this may not be in the best interests of the u.s. diplomacies. >> reporter: a spokesperson for ula told fox news ula maintains two to three-year supply of the rd-108 engines to pin mize potential supply disruptions.

the supply chain has never experience ad supply disruption in the 15 year of imports the spokesperson said. russia has taken no actions to restrict sales or exports of the rd-180. we also asked the state department whether u.s. diplomacy on ukraine is being underminded by the pentagon space launches. >> i think the individual you're referring to was obviously sanctioned as an individual, not as a company. we have a range of authorities as you all know and flexibility with the executive order. >> reporter: each of the russian rd-180 engines is estimated to cost 15 to $20 million. jon? jon: james rosen in washington. james, thank you. jenna: a big sports story getting all sorts of attention today. a new york yankees pitcher getting heave-ho in a game against the red sox for cheating. umpires ejected michael pa made today for having pine tar. you can see it right there. he used pine tar to get a better grip on the ball. under the rules a pitcher is not

allowed to use any foreign substance and certainly not allowed to wear it. more shocking, pineda was under scrutiny for having pine tar on his pitching hand in a previous start against the same team, the red sox, april 10th. what is going on here? ken rosenthal a senior writer with foxsports.com and field reporter for mlb on fox. what did you think about this, you saw this, ken, you cover baseball so much and so well, what went yourthrough your head. >> jenna, i had to laugh. he was under scrutiny as you said. major league baseball talked to the yankees bit. it is no secret he was facing same team. so for a guy to do this again, it was rather surprising. jenna: pine tar is actually used, we got some pine tar. >> all prepared. >> can take one of these, ken, if you need it to get an edge, which i don't think you need. let me hold them up because they're in packets. we'll run some of video. this is the pine tar rag. we're leaving it in the packet because apparently tough to get off your hands. >> not something you want to apply. jenna: see baseball players

warming up and putting it on their, batting gloves or hands to hold on to the bat better. that is allowed, isn't it, ken. >> well, not really. jenna: so everyone is cheating? >> here is the deal with pine tar, jenna. everyone uses it. the whole point is, don't use it so blatantly. what the red sox said after the first time was, listen, we get it. our guys use it too. it is something pitchers use to get a grip. jenna: that is cleared weird, ken. >> it is weird but accepted practice in the game and don't put it on your face. jenna: why not make illegal and tell people they want wear isn't. >> that is good question. actually there is a use for it. there is a use for it to get better grip on the ball in cold temperatures. what he did was equivalent of driving 80 in 65 mile-an-hour speed limit zone and getting stop and driving 100. jenna: we're basically all given a little leeway. >> exactly. jenna: speed zone, right. you get, like 60 miles an hour, you usually get to 65, maybe 70. >> right. jenna: you push, 75, 80, you will get pushed over.

>> he pushed it last night to over 100. jenna: why did he do that. >> that is a really good question. i can't comprehend it was not communicated to him or effectively understood by him more easily what exactly he was up against here. you can't do this. when you've done it once, the other team noticed it but not said anything and alerted baseball. baseball contacted team, your team told you. i don't know what he was thinking. >> two years he has been a yankee. he is not brand, brand new. >> he just started pitching. back from injury. jenna: there is psychology coming back from an injury. i'm sure we appreciate that. he is 25 years old. what happens to him. >> he will get suspended. most likely miss one or two starts at most. he will come back and hopefully the temperatures will be warmer so he won't need pine tar as much. jenna: pitchers say if they lose control of the ball is dangerous for the batter. that's what the batters say. if they lose control of the bat is bad for everybody. why they argue that is what pine tar --

>> hitters don't mind using pine tar if it means balls don't come at your head. jenna: you made an important point in your column. you blame the team not just pineda. >> team is responsible as well. he didn't have it on his neck in the first inning. had it on the in second. maybe nobody noticed it. he didn't get it. he is member of new york yankees. they have people who speak spanish like he does. they have all kinds of people taking every player's need. they couldn't figure anything out? seems like a lot. jenna: figure out party favors. take one these. >> i'm honored. jenna: you never know. jon, i have this one for you. save it for you, jon. a little bit on the neck for the next segment. jon: little bit on the neck. take care of my pitching needs for the rest of the week. jenna: to each his own but apparently you can't do that. jon? jon: it is a big topic these days but with so many claims, and so little science, it is hard to separate fact from fiction. a doctor will help us give it a try regarding food and cancer.

"new york times" subpoenas it up by saying that connection between the food we eat and cancer that we get is unraveling, bit by bit. how so. >> well i think the key here is that keith eating is just one piece of the puzzle. cancer is an enigma for us. we don't know exactly what cause it in never situation.

it could be our biology. it could be our environment. could be foods we eat. it could be our smoking. that is the key point in the study. jenna: it seems intuitive to say foods and vegetables are not protecting you from cancer. but that seems what the research is suggesting. >> there was one study said that every time you hear conflicting study you just can't believe it. we have study after study, we also discussed this before, eating fruits and vegetables is good for you. it does a number of good things. having antioxidants and fiber and other nutrients. we can't say eating healthy is not good for you. jenna: but it gives a little control we might feel, right? if i eat the all the broccoli i want i won't get breast cancer or sense of control we feel like we gain connecting certain foods to warding off certain diseases. >> that's a key point thaw bring up, is the control factor. we want to have control over preventing cancer and that is exactly right. jenna: i don't mean to interrupt you, decades into all the research we still don't really

know what is causing cancer? >> it is of the absolutely billions of dollars in research. number two killer in this country. it is absolutely ton niching. >> more interesting not just about the fruits and vegetables that we mentioned, overall what canner researchers are looking at whether or not you eat fatty foods that give you higher propensity for certain types of cancer or eating more or less fiber. we heard that. eat fiber. stay away from fatty foods. that helps the system. we don't ban any of that in there but they're saying that may not actually be the case. >> i disagree with that. we know eating healthy, exercising, not smoking, seeing a doctor regularly those extend your life. that will not give you a superman shield to prevent everything but improves your chances avoiding cancer. jenna: don't give you a path. >> doesn't give you a path. does not work that way. jenna: it is an interesting final line here in this article of being fat, as opposed to eating fat, this one doctor said

put it on my capital one i earn unlimited double miles. hey, you're not the charles barkley? yes i am.

nah charles barkley is way taller. there's my picture on the wall. yeah that could be anyone. what about my jersey over there? oh yeah, that's your jersey. there's my bobble head right behind you. alright well let me see you bobble. yeah, i'm just not buying it man. earn unlimited double miles with no blackout dates from the capital one venture card. my brother john, he works here. john, you know this guy? what's in your wallet? jenna: do you believe jon scott has no money on him, not even on set to lend t me. our stage manager lent me a dollar for the next segment because there is disturbing segment about the money we handle every day. researchers find thousands of different bacteria on one dollar

bills. you would have a dollar for me, patti ann, right? >> i would absolutely loan you a dollar. jenna, here's the deal. maybe we should all launder our money because apparently it is dirty. scientists find surprising number of microbes that live on cash. new york university did study of dna on bills. they found that currency carries 3,000 different kinds of bacteria and transfer them from person-to-person as bills change hands. they include one that causes acne and others linked to gastric ulcers, pneumonia, food poisoning, staff infections and genes that cause resistance to antibiotics. one expert says your wallet is pietri dish, perfect for microbes to grow. it is clear that currency spreads contagion. wash your hands after handling money, jenna. jenna: tips for us all today to remember. no pun on tips.

patti ann, thank you. jon: filthy dirty money with a whole new meaning. scientists in oklahoma are working on a new way to predictornados. they're designing drones loaded with high-tech gear that could improve warning times and help save people's lives. casey stiegel is live from oklahoma state university. casey. >> reporter: yeah, jon, this is where all the research is happening by the way. scientists here say this is the future of forecasting something that has the potential to increase warning times of tornadoes from minutes to possibly hours. that obviously gives people on the ground a much larger heads up to seek shelter and could potentially save lives. so how does it work? well, they're looking at ways to outfit the drones with equipment, to gather things like air pressure, wind speeds, dewpoints and then send that information to meet roll exists on the ground. uavs or unmanned aerial vehicles, are especially beneficial for this purpose because they're designed to get

very close to supercell thunderstorms, places too dangerous for humans or other equipment to currently go. >> you have this region from the ground to the cloud where we want to get data with the energy being feed into the storm. that is beneficial from an unmanned aircraft perspective because it is already relatively low altitude. you typically wouldn't have a manned aircraft flying. >> reporter: now the biggest challenge so far, building a drone that is durable enough to with stand things like high winds and rain and hail. but the goal is to have these buzzing around severe weather systems in the very near future. >> hopefully within the next year, year-and-a-half, we'll actually out in western oklahoma or even just locally being able to fly around and actually collec some date to give to a meteorologist to say, hey, does this work? what data do you want?

>> reporter: in addition to the forecasting here at osu they're working on designing special search-and-rescue drones that could be used to assist first-responders after a disaster because they can again fly very low over rubble using infrared cameras to search for survivors. jon? jon: use full tools it sounds like. casey stiegel in okeechobee home. >> thank yous casey. jenna: making signal that was hard to ignore. how they got strand and and made it out next.

right now emergency responders waiting for the green light to go home after a explosion forced an evacuation in an entire town. it happen south of salt lake city. the plant served customers in the west and east as ohio. we are looking to see if there

is disruptions. despite the explosion and vangz vakz, no injuries were reported. >> and then a clever distress call that got the attention needed. handful of people found themselves strappeded onap australian island after a boat drifted away with all of their belongings. on board. >> they had a sos signal and could not be ignored. and the rescue helicopter spotted it. >> i wonder how long it was out there. >> not a lot of shade. i think there was another one that they were stuck o. >> you hear about the sos working. >> and we have programming changes to tell you about. starting on monday, happening now will come to you in
