engineers at nissan say they have the first self-cleansing car. using high-tech paint that repels water and oil. the won't, could be available in the after-market. watching all that go over windshield. eric. great to have you here. have a good weekend. "happening now" starts right now. bye-bye. jenna: our to story this friday, the obama administration is getting ready to pick up the pieces of oregon's broken health care exchange. hope you're off to a great day so far. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. this comes after federal officials say several state-run marketplaces may be too defective. here is the commercial for the cover oregon website. that was supposed to get folks all excited about signing up for health care coverage in that state. originally, oregon embraced obamacare. but after more than six months and $300 million of taxpayer money wasted, oregon's health

care website has yet to enroll a single applicant. that is why the state is throwing in the towel now. the board overseeing ore gone's exchange scheduled to vote whether to give up on cover oregon and simply join the federal insurance marketplace. obamacare was designed to let every state-run its own health care exchange. the fate of these failing marketplaces could have a major impact politically and for consumers. joining us for more, senior politics writer for "u.s. news & world report. so what are the overarching implications here, david? i mean besides the $300 million in taxpayer expenditures apparently wasted, what does this say about, you know, the folks running the oregon's website and obama care overall? >> well, jon, who would have thought the much-maligned federal website would be preferrable to the state exchange? remember when, obamacare was designed, the obama administration wanted to put in

this provision to allow the states to set up their own exchanges. remember, only 14 states and district of columbia chose this option. they have had really mixed results. the ironic thing here is that republicans usually take the posture that the states are the laboratories of democracy, right? that it's better that the states run programs because they're locally tailored, they better know the neath of their own constituents. the obama administration gave them the option. here you're seeing states having major options not being able to handle the technical infrastructure to do it. and, that's sort of the ironic part about all of this. was it better to not ever even allow the states to have exchanges and do it all from the federal level, which would be sort of a counterintuitive argument if you're on the republican side of the aisle but you're seeing the evidence in oregon but also maryland and massachusetts they're having real problems.

jon: as we said in the lead inn, obamacare was designed with thinking that just about every state would set up its own individual website. 36 states did not do so, primarily states led by republican governors who thought this thing would be a big mess and you know, they said leave it to uncle sam, if they are going to foist this upon us. now those governors in those 36 states are looking like the smart ones here. >> yes. but we should point out that there have been mixed results in the state exchanges. california is actually doing pretty well with their state exchanges. they have enrolled about a million people and they're doing it about $1,000 per person. that cost should go down according to reports. there has been successes in other states like new york and connecticut. so there has been really mixed results. some states are able to handle it. other states that aren't. according to experts it is really what they're trying to do, how much they're trying to

do. saying simpler is better with the website. don't try to put too much on there. i think a lot of states got caught up in technical details trying to put too much on the website. the website couldn'e it. oregon couldn't even have people logging on to the website. they had to go to paper applications. that is a nightmare. no one likes to do that. going back, so the question, is this program actually better run from the federal government? is this something that the states actually can't handle? the second question is, why are some states able to pull this off, california, new york, but other states aren't? oregon, maryland, and massachusetts? jon: maybe our director can put up some of that cover oregon commercial again. maybe they spent too much of their $300 million trying to put together beautiful pieces of artwork like this to run on television. there are those states like hawaii and minnesota, david, where the rollout of the health care exchange has not gone particularly well. even in massachusetts, you know the pioneering state for public

health care coverage, massachusetts apparently has had real problems integrating its state-run exchange with the obamacare system. >> yeah. and, i think part of the massachusetts system, if i'm correct, they used some of the same vendors that dealt with the federal website which we know had major problems. so i think a lot of this comes down to i.t. work and, you know, just getting those wheels running. i mean i'm not an i.t. guy. according to the reports, it is just that people can't log on. they can't get through certain pages. when they click on something and put their information in, it is not going through, to the vendor. i mean these are i.t., really technical issues. jon: right but -- >> some states weren't prepared for. jon: as has been pointed out many times before, companies like amazon.com run really complicated websites and they do it very well but you know -- >> absolutely. jon: private industry is much better at doing that kind of

thing than government is generally? >> it is certainly about bringing in the right people and getting the right people to do it. and you know, that's a philosophical argument obviously, whether private industry is better to do these things. but this is a system that was built, remember, states had the decision to decide whether they wanted to build their own exchange. and the advantage of that was supposedly, that you could taylor to your own constituents. the that oregon had different health care need than california, than maryland and they could taylor it, and it just -- tailor it, it seems the technical snafus are building and mounting and not working in a lot of states. maybe they need to go to the other states to see what they're doing right. maybe they need to go to california and see what they're doing right. jon: those folks in oregon spent $300 million and got nothing for it except expensive tv commercials. david, thanks.

>> thanks. jenna: crews have pulled more than 180 bodies, mostly high school students from a sunken passenger ferry from the coast of south korea. more than 100 people are still missing. for the latest on the grim recovery effort, david piper streaming live from bangkok. david? >> reporter: jenna, it is now 10 days since that ferry sank off south korea and the operation to recover bodies is ongoing at this hour. south korean officials say divers continue to bring up bodies from the sunken ferry but many of the divers are suffering from fatigue. some have been treated for possible decompression sickness. they're able to work longer searching cabins if they're connected to air tubes but some fear it is becoming too dangerous as the weather deteriorates at the site. several hundred divers, including civilians are currently involved in the search there. the u.s. is 7th fleet, diving and recovery vessel, the safeguard is heading towards south korea's southwest coast now and expected to arrive

saturday to help the operation. meanwhile families have become increasingly frustrated by the pace of the search and have confronted officials on a nearby island. the standoff lasted all thursday knight into friday morning at a tent where officials post information about the newly-recovered bodies. south korea is still coming to terms with the loss of so many of its young people. president obama, who is visiting the country as part of a nations tour is offering his condolences. >> and again on behalf of all americans i want to express our deepest condolences, our to all the families who lost loved ones on the ferry. some were junk students with their entire lives ahead of them. i'm a father of two daughters, of the same age or close to the same age as those who were lost and so i can only imagine what the parents are going through at this point.

the incredible heartache. >> reporter: also today, investigators have revealed that life rafts and escape chutes on a sister ship to the sunken ferry were not working properly when they inspected them. police have also been serving the offices of the company involved. and a number of executives of that firm have been banned from leaving the country. back to you, jenna. jenna: dived piper, live in thailand with the latest for us on that south korea ferry disaster. david, thank you. jon: right now, better conditions helping crews battle several large fires in new jersey. four fires have been burning overnight in that state, prompting hundreds to evacuate and burning thousands of acres. this morning though calmer winds are helping contain the fires. rick leventhal joins us now. he has latest for us. >> reporter: state forest fire officials are holding a briefing in beechwood where some firefighters are still battling to contain one of larger blazes. 200-acres burned already.

that blaze is 80% contained. we can take a listen to the live news conference. >> we're aware of it. we're trying to handle it as fast and efficiently as we possibly can. we encourage residents if they have any issues with smoke please let your local agency's know. we'll address it fast and fish inly as we can. we know there will be small spots smoldering. certain areas of trees that might have little flames burning in them. we will address them again accordingly and efficiently as we possibly can and safely. >> reporter: this is an ongoing issue. frightening 24 hours for residents of three counties in southern new jersey where conditions were ripe for wildfire ignition and rapid spread because of low humidity and high winds. there were red flag warnings in a place a couple days when this massive blaze of ocean county forced evacuation of 600 homes. firefighters dug trenches and set backfires to protect some houses. there were damages but no homes

were lost fortunately. a blaze in berkeley township proved difficult to fight. residents were told to turn on yard sprinklers. hundreds of acres were scorched. 1500-acres burned in cumberland fire before that fire was under control in morning. another blaze burned 569-acres in franklin township still only 50% contained. fire officials say they are getting upper hashed. conditions are improving. rain is expected which should help. this fire might have been sparked by a cigarette. they're still investigating the cause. jon: i was going to ask, so many fires at one time, is there a common cause to all of them? >> reporter: conditions so dry, just tossing a lit butt out the window could cause a fire. there is concern the danger is still there. jon: you see a lot of people do that on the highway. rick leventhal, thank you. jenna: interesting story coming up. scientists creating what they call a new wonder material. thinner than paper and this soup every stuff can be apparently mixed up in a kitchen blender.

that's what they figured out in the lab. we'll talk to one of the scientists about that. also some terrifying moments aboard a jet. a hijacking scare in midair some are not calling a hijacking at all. we'll sell you what happened in a live report next. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me,

and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb.

ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work. jenna: frightening moments on a virgin australia flight when a passenger spark ad hijacking scare. the man was apparently drunk and tried to break into the cockpit mid-flight. on this flight that was bound for indonesia. that is where kitty logan is live in our london bureau to pick up the story now for us. kitty? >> reporter: the good news, jenna, that all passengers and crew are safe. the plane was able to land at its intended destination. reports are that this man was banging quite violently an aggressively at the cockpit door, causing the pilot to

declare a flight emergency. when it came in to land in pally it was -- bali it was quickly surrounded by indonesian troops. the airbase and airport were closed for a couple of hours. the crew managed to restrain and handcuff the man and local authorities quickly took him off. they detained and arrested him. they named him a 28-year-old australian. obviously with a missing malaysian aircraft on everyone's mind, it is not surprising really that air authorities are quite nervous at this point in time. now we still don't know what happened to mh-370. the search for the aircraft is still going on. was it diverted by a hijacking? was there a mechanical problem? we simply don't know. australian authorities are still searching for that plane off the coast of australia. they have found nothing yet. they have not been able to identify any wreckage at all. given we still don't know what happened to mh-370 and the mystery surrounding that flight it is not surprising the captain

on this particular aircraft took the precautions he did, jenna. jenna: certainly understandable as you point out. katy, thank you very much. jon: it is being called a wonder material thinner than paper, stronger than a diamond, more conduct tiff than copper. the amazing scientific breakthrough that scientists figured out they can mix up in a blender. and a school bus full of children careens out of control. the terrifying ordeal leaving a dozen people injured. investigators are looking for answers as to the cause. guy: hey captain obvious, watch this!

say. here is what is being said as they say. the school bus was going very fast, carrying middle school students, it jumped curb and plowed into the trees as you see and hit a lamppost coming to the tilting sideways rest you saw in the video. the bus was taking students from an after-school activity at a middle school nearby in anaheim when it crashed next to the anaheim hills golf course. look what they had to do to get the driver out. witnesses are telling us that children were screaming. it appeared gasoline was pouring out of the back of the bus. again about the human element in all of this, the 12 people we know that are hurt, the most critically among them was the driver, who you see here, had to be cut from the bus and pulled through the windshield. of the others in critical condition, hospitalized at this point, two of them are students. the california highway patrol is leading the investigation and reportedly telling everybody at this point, an early look at the evidence shows that the driver may not have hit the brakes before he crashed.

the bus did have seatbelts on board, jon, many of them do. still not clear how many students were wearing them. back to you. jon: wow, harris faulkner what a story. thank you. >> groundbreaking new research what is being called a new wonder material. it is called high quality gracine. more pure than lead in lead pencils and 200 times stronger than steel, so thin tha single ounce could cover 1228 football fields. they found a way to produce it use a kitchen blender and old-fashioned diswashing deterent. we have one of scientists behind one the amazing research, jonathan coleman. from dublin college in san francisco. nice to have you on the program, jonathan. >> thank you. jenna: tell me a little bit about it. describing the way we did, it is hard to grasp my mind around what it is. what is it? >> people have known about graphite for a long time.

graphite is the lead in your pencil. graphite like a structure is deck of cards. it has thin layers standed on top of each other. the layers are very thin. they are one at tom thick. they are called graphine. when you write on the surface bits of it come off and you see as writing. people 10 years ago discovered these graphine were a wonder material. amazing properties and strongest material known to men. people quickly realized this material would be useful in whole host of applications if you could make it in large quantities. jenna: that gets to the question about the blender. as we were talking about earlier i was reading the story were these sane activities hanging out in the laboratory and one night decided to throw everything in the blender and found the great way to make the substance? found out how you used the blender and detergent was way to make it. >> i would like to tell you

romantic version but unfortunately a little bit less than exciting. we had been making high quality graphine but not in very high qualities. we were contacted by a english chemical company called thomas swan, can you scale up the process? we said of course we can. we had to think about how to do it. after a lot of thought we decided to use a process of sheer mixing. you get liquid moving fast and the liquid pushes graph mean away from graphite. two years question understood the process. once we understood it you don't need industrial powerful pieces equipment to do this. a motor in kitchen blender should be powerful enough to try it. so we put some graphite in the blender. added some water. we needed some deter again. let's keep it simple which is dishwashing liquid we use in ireland. we turned in on and press stow, we have graphene. jenna: does that mean i can make

my own potentially you could but if you put a lost graphite into your blender you might want to use to it mike a smoothie afterwards. jenna: don't want to mix them up. keep the chemical blender on one side and smoothie blender on the other. what can graphene be used for. description is million times thinner than paper but stronger than diamond f you're able to produce mass quantityings of this, professor, what could it actually be used in? >> well it is going to have loads of application. the simplest, it is very, very strong. if you put it into plastic, it will make the plastic stronger. even a minute school amount of graphene in plastic can triple strength of plastic. given application if the plastic is three times stronger than it would have been you need a third of it to do a given job. that is important because that gives you weight savings in aerospace or automotive that would be important. there are many other

applications. for example, it can be used to make electrodes in solar cells. so to make efficient, cheap, solar cells. once you have the graphene as we make it in the blender, it is in a liquid form and print it out of ink jet printer to make ink jet printed batteries or conductors. jenna: wow. >> there are lot of different applications. i'm working on a project where we're using it to improve beer bottles. jon: yes. jenna: you have jean's attention. he wasn't pay too much attention with solar cells and automotive stuff. beer bottles, so you for what though? i can't let you go without, for the beer bottle? >> well, beer is typically, in glass bottles. and you about, beer companies want it to have it in plastic bottles. the problem the co2, the gas leaks out and beer loses physician if it is in plastic. if you put a little bit of graphene or a material like it into the plastic you can slow the gas coming out and increase the shelf life of beer in plastic bottles.

that has loads of big applications because you save waste and beer company will ship a million bottles a day. so this is a big deal. jenna: the taste for the customer as well. we should have started there, professor. we would have gotten a lot more attention if we starred with the beer. we're all with you on that. i want to see what happens with the beer bottles to see if you revolutionize the industry forever. we're not too far, we're in baseball season. football season coming up, i don't know. >> this would be the contribution i would like to make. jenna: i think it is a good one, professor. we look forward to having you back on the program. thank you. >> thank you. jon: sounds like cool stuff. what a great story. jenna: there you go, the beer bottle that is a little bit lighter and could cost less if it is not as heavy to ship. jon: just when you think they invented everything they come up with a new way to develop graphene. senator elizabeth warren may be promoting her book but some very influential media figures seem to be promoting her. we'll tell you who and what it means for 2016 next.

also mother nature may be finally be giving winter the boot but she is not saying good-bye to bad weather. your full weekend forecast coming up.

>> right now a quick look what is still to come this hour of "happening now." hillary clinton had her share of media criticism. we'll tell you what happened

when the tables turned and she plays critics. the u.s. experiencing the largest measles outbreak in nearly two decades. our doctor is in on what you need to know about that. "got milk?" no thanks to some connecticut lawmakers. they're proposing to ban whole or 2% milk in day-care centers. cold weather makes its way out storms making its way in from virginia to the carolinas. powerful wind gusts and damaging hail. it is season for that, i guess. maria molina from the fox weather center. maria. >> hello, everybody, that's right. we're looking at a risk for severe weather for today and right now our storm system is rolling through parts of ohio, kentucky and state of west virginia. this brings good news for the state of new jersey that has been dealing with wildfires. that will bring much-needed moisture to that region. across virginia and north carolina including cities like richmond, raleigh, jacksonville, we're looking at a risk for thunderstorms especially this afternoon and evening that could produce large hail, damaging winds,

potentially in excess of 58 miles per hour and some isolated tornadoes. i want to take you ahead into this weekend between saturday, sunday and mondaying we would look at our first multiday severe weather outbreak for the season. this is across the center of the country. we have an area of low pressure exiting the rockies. ahead of it we have lot of moisture and very warm temperatures. right in there across parts of texas, parts of oklahoma, into arkansas we could see severe weather. on saturday that does include states like texas, oklahoma, up into nebraska and iowa. these are cities included out there. as we head into sunday the storm prediction center which is part of the national weather service has already issued a moderate risk. so that area shaded in red, that's where we could see strong tornadoes that could stay on the ground for longer amount of time and could be particularly violent. heads up if you live in little rock and texarkana. you could look at a risk of stronger storms. anywhere from texas, ohio, illinois, you're looking at risk

for severe weather. by monday, still not over. you are still looking at the risk for more severe storms. jenna, it is the season. it is severe weather season. months of april, may and june do tend to be very active and region that we're targeting here with this next storm system is one of those regions that tends to be active during the month of april. jenna: head's up on that. a few days ahead of time and watch it throughout the weekend. >> keep an eye to the sky. have a way to get warnings and know exactly what to do when the warnings get issued. jenna: good reminder, maria. thank you. >> thank you. jon: we'll look at media issues in the news and they are related. first the freshman democratic senator from massachusetts elizabeth warren on media tour promoting auto buying graph if i and enjoying support and praise from media figures such as "the view" co-host barbara walters. here is what walters had to say introducing her on the program. a small town oklahoma girl grows up handles challenges of single

mother, practically a teenager. become as harvard law professor, congressional advisor and first female senator in the history of massachusetts. so people are saying could her next move be the white house? that is how barbara introduced elizabeth warren. if she has captured the hearts of the democratic's party progressive wing, does it mean a 2016 presidential bid? joining us now, judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter, author and fox news contributor. elizabeth warren for her part insisted she is not running for president, but when you write a book just before the presidential campaign season begins it always raises eyebrows. >> when you get the liberal ladies of "view," gushing over you, calling you awesome, impressive, cannonnization is just a step off. look, elizabeth warren is positioning herself for the democratic party nomination should hillary clinton decide not to run. there, and of course she wants to sell books. there is always that.

jon: we're going to get to hillary clinton in a second but, there are, there are critics out there. hillary had to deal with, i guess the problem of her age because she will be getting up there, i think about it time the 2016 election rolls around she would be potentially one of the oldest presidents. >> this would not be a factor if she were a man. i think that women will reject the age argument and they should reject it because it is a sexist one and it is unfair. i do think it is probably affecting her own calculation whether or not she wants to put herself through this. jon: there were questions when she was leaving the secretary of state's job and took the fall in the bathroom and hurt herself. >> there are health issues that remain. we still haven't gotten to the bottom of, jon. that is the problem with the clinton machine. it is very hard to get inside and get real information what is going on with her, the family and the foundation. jon: what is it about elizabeth warren drives so much press

speculation about her ambitions? she has not spent a great deal of time in the senate. remind me the current occupant of the oval office. >> i was going to say exactly like barack obama only she has such a great story like barack obama. she is outsider but she is a fighter for the little guy, for the middle class. she is tenacious. she has now created this financial protection bureau which says, i am not against big business. i am against cheating. it's a great line. it appeals both to independent republicans and democratic base. jon: that is why she is getting so much media attention and sort of fawning introductions from barbara walters? >> the book is wonderful. she fell in love with her husband because he had great legs. what kind of harvard law professor will admit to that she does it. she gets away with it. she is ingratiating and she's tough. jon: let's move on to talk about hillary clinton. hillary gave a speech the other night, there was a question and answer session afterwards, and she suggested that too much of

the media coverage these days is all about entertainment and the journalism is doing a disservice to america basically. >> i basically have to agree with hillary clinton. there is too much celebrity worship, too much celebrity fawning. too much view and too little investigative reporting. like you and me we have to take this to heart. her message is calibrated and well thought through. she goes from criticizing the press, praising women on the other. and everything she is doing is setting herself up for a run and putting the media on the defensive is a good tactic. >> i am thinking about to the quotes from hilary clinton

rather it is what does it matter regarding the benghazi or i am not just sitting home and baking cookies. she feeds into that. >> she has survived this and benefited from it. she knows how to handle the press and play the media. she is tough. >> and there is the grand baby on the way. >> and just as luck would have it she turned that into a great political announcement. that is the skill and veteranship i am talking about. >> what do you get for the women who has everything? how about a grandchild just in time for the presidential campaign. >> timing is everything. it will be interesting to watch these two. >> human rights activist are outraged and you will likely be too after learning iran is

appointed to key united nation committees. some say it was a bad decision. good question on whether we make it legit by allowing this to happen. and why lawmakers want to ban whole milk from daycare centers. depend shields and guards. the discreet protection that'just for guys. now, it's your turn. get my training tips at guardyourmanhood.com the expedia app helps you save with mobile-exclusive deals download the expedia app text expedia to 75309 expedia, find yours carsthey're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

i'm j-e-f-f and i have copd. i'm l-i-s-a and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day.

breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. first prescription free at mybreo.com >> a colorado man is accused of killing his wife and why edible marijuana could be the key to his defense and how it could help him in court. and thousands of bridges across the country in need of repair. what new federal data reveals about the bridges we drive on every day. and ronald mcdonald is getting a makeover. the changes coming up. a controversial decision by the united nations. iran is being elected to committees that protect huprot s

protectrectomies -- protect human rights and people are saying the nomination is a setback. michael sync is here. and this is a big question about this. iran leads the world as far as public executions and were just making headlines for wanting to hang a rape victim. how does a country that does that make it on any of these commissions? >> you are right. they have a terrible record on human rights and civil society and the right to associate and here they are on these committees that are supposed to be defending these principles. this is far for the united nations.

these countries are elected by the regions. and you see these committees are instead making a mockery of the mission instead of defending it by including iran, sudan and cuba and so forth. >> our ambassador tweeted this. iran ran unopposed and was elected to commission the status of women. given records on women and human rights this is an outrage. i am confused about the way the process going. if we are part of the un, why couldn't we have run against iran for that seat they ran for unopposed? >> the system is byzantine and what happens here is there are quotas for each region of the world. iran is running as an asian state and we cannot run in that group. we run against other western european and other states. we are not competing for the

same seat but we are on the same committee. >> we are on the committee that iran is leading on the commission of women >> we are. israel, for example, is a target of all of these big committees. the question is are we right being on the committees? >> what do you think the answer is to that? >> you will remember the bush administration opted out of the human rights counselor in the mid-2000's and president obama decided to rejoin. i am not sure being on or not being on will impact the work they do. the important thing is when you have a country like iran or russia or cuba speaking about

human rights in a double-face way we need to confront that and speak out. someone like samantha powers can confront iran on this. >> and is twitter the right way to do that? >> i think you have to do is wherever you can to be fair. iran is on twitter. >> yes, i follow them. >> we should be on twitter attacking if they are defending the record and exposing the truths and facts on behalf of the oppressed iran people. >> a bigger question is our role at the united nations as well. allies like israel are treated poorly by the member nations and do we make this process legit be

being a member of the un and should we think about our relationship with this organization? >> that is a big question. israel is unfairly singled out by un committees but they are on the committees as well and use these to stick up for themselves and we use them to stick up israel as well. all are agencies like the one monitoring iran's nuclear program and the organization for preventing the spread of chemical weapons that do truly useful work and the unit ded nation counsel has been useful as well. the idea is to reform it not walk away from it. >> we support the un and all of it's working financially to the great extent of other countries.

protect your family from this virus? dr. camel is here. why are we seeing this outbreak now? >> i think it has to do with a couple factors. we are seeing less and less vaccines given because of the small group that is afraid to vaccinate because of religion or other reasons. and there is a huge internation l international outbreak. 20,000 in the philippines and they are exposing the children. >> had you protected from the time you get the shot? >> it takes several weeks because the body has to expose the immune system to the virus itself and you build antibodies to fight against de. it is something you need to do. if you are not vaccinated you must be right away

>> not instant but something to think about. maybe some families decided not do this when the kids were young and might do it again. for those of us who don't have the records going back to when we were kids, how can a doctor find out if we are protected against measles or not? >> that is a great question. if you are unsure it will not hurt you to get another one. but your doctor can draw blood called a titer and they can tell you are immune. >> does this shot last a lifetime or do you need a booster? >> the cdc recommends the first at 12 months and the second one once you start school so the 4-6 year range. that should last a lifetime.

as we age the immune system ages so the highest risk is those at the oldest and lowest range and those are immune systems com o compromised. >> great to see you as always. thanks so much. got milk? maybe not in connecticut daycare centers. state lawmakers are considering a bill that will ban serving whole or 2% milk to children. it is aimed at curbing childhood obesity but opponents say the information is outdated. in 2008, a recommendation put out that children switch to low fat milk after the age of two.

>> all of the things you could ban milk? >> only water jon scott. keep them skinny. we have changes for the programming. "happening now" is coming at 11:00 eastern time but our second hour is at 1:00 and there is a break. we have a new show starting on monday called "outnumbered". it will start at noon. it is men with a twist of four women and one man discussing the topics. >> what are we going to do during that hour? >> eat lunch. >> sounds good to me. what hilary clinton is saying that could sealing the position as the presidential nominee. and tension mounting in kiev and the pro-russian groups.

we will bring you a report on the hostile and dangerous sicheration there.

jenna: just as we near noon here on the east coast a situation we're watching in wall street right now. with we're paying attention to what is happening with the dow and also what is happening with the nasdaq. the dow is trading there on your screen. it has been down as much as 150 points so far. a few factors are playing into what's happening with the dow including some earnings report with visa, one of the big companies that came out and said they're not looking really good as far as revenue go. there is some caution to investors. there was also some cautionary words from amazon as well. that is weighing on the nasdaq. in addition the violence in ukraine always plays in a little bit with investors who could be a little skiddish what is to come. we'll watch all of these different moving parts as we continue to get into our second hour of coverage right here on "happening now." we'll start off with a question, will she or won't she? former secretary of state hillary clinton fielding speculation about a possible

white house run. welcome to a brand new hour of "happening now," i'm jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott. the former first lady raising eyebrows with a speech at a women's leadership conference in boston. she was talking about women advancing their careers but to some sounds like she was giving herself a pep talk. >> if you want to really do something, if you believe you're the right person to do it, if you believe it will make a difference, you have to compete to get into the arena and knowing full well that it is going to be challenging, to say the least. jon: so, what do we take away from a speech like this? joining now, mercedes sclap. , a former media spokesperson for president george w. bush and. marjorie clifton, from clifton consulting. marjorie, when you heard the words does it sound like a woman running for president.

>> it sounds like a woman in a leadership position. hillary clinton has been giving speeches like this for a long time. we have women in senior positions taking advantage of platform trying to get into others into leadership like cheryl sandburg at facebook. there is lot of talk about hillary clinton. if she doesn't run i am afraid we might have a lot of riot from a lot of woman who want to see her in the white house position. chelsea and hillary have been speaking this message for a long time. jon: is this any surprise to you, mercedes. >> this is no suspend novel. hillary clinton she ready be ready to run because all the other democrats are ready for her to run. super pac ready for hillary. they're building infrastructure. they're building a database of is.million supporters. -- 1.8 million. frankly she has a setup to go. she is probably looking from the sense, there is a lot that goes into running. it is an agonizing schedule as

marjorie can attest to. so i think when you look at that point, it makes it a lot, it makes it interesting, but in the end i think she is ready to move forward. jon: marjorie, she was the number one contender in 2008 and something happened on the road to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. what pitfalls does she face this time if in fact she is going to run? i mean she is the number one contender on the democratic side at the moment. >> well, what happened last time was barack obama. so, you know, this juncture there is unquestionably uneven playing field. she is really the frontrunner. she had this time as secretary of state and other very senior leadership roles to really establish her brand as hillary clinton versus hillary clinton, bill clinton's wife. and so, i think what is really unique also the landscape for women has really changed in what will be an eight-year period. while we still have lags in leadership there is lot more voice around the need for women in leadership and a lot of the

policy issues frankly come up over the past two terms have been very much related to women. so i think there's a new energy. women are 60% of the women i should say even came out to vote in the 2004 elections to 56% of women, i'm sorry, 56% of men. you saw with president barack obama he won 12 points with women. this is going to be, i think women will be a powerful voice as they were in the last election, especially in this one. jon: one of the nuggets i remember, mercedes, from the, from the, i guess it was the 1992 election if men only had voted, bob dole would have been president. clearly there is something attractive about the clinton dynasty to women, so, does that mean the republicans have to come up with a female candidate or maybe a female vice-presidential candidate to blunt some of that impact? >> gosh, i would love for the republican party to come up with a presidential candidate who is woman or a vice-presidential

candidate who is woman. it is long overdue. we had a great gop women governors, women senators, that are rising like senator kelly ayote. again i think absolutely. this is, you know, women vote is so incredibly important. i think when you look at the republican party, when you're talking about the economic message, the messages that resonate for women, they have a lot of work to do to make sure they can communicate the message and those policies will be helpful for women and their families. jon: so, marjorie, if hillary wants it, is it hers? >> i don't think anything is a given. as you know, in politics anything can change in any term. in terms of democratic nominee, biden and elizabeth warren are trailing well behind her. they're at about 16 points where she is 58% or 58 points in the vote. she has a great lead, a lot of momentum. a lot can happen in a short

period of time in politics. jon: marjorie clifton, mercedes shlapp, gives us a lot to talk about until 2016 rolls around. thank you both. jenna: hope for peace in the middle east taking a serious hit. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu suspending negotiations with palestinian president mahmoud abbas after a separate deal was reached between palestinians and hamas. conor powell is in the newsroom and more. >> reporter: the ongoing negotiations were already in trouble before the reconciliation between the palestinian authority and hamas. clearly now it is in real trouble if not overall dead right now. for several years now the international community, including american officials have been pushing the palestinians, different groups within the palestinian territories to reconcile, to negotiate among themselves, even though many western leaders are now criticizing the move. president obama saying that the move to reconcile was quote, unhelpful, and israeli leaders here in israel including prime

minister benjamin netanyahu spoke to our own bret baier last night are furious that president mahmoud abbas would do a deal with hamas. >> hoping that he would embrace peace with israel. instead he chose a pact with hamas. that effectively is what is killing peace. i hope he changes his mind because the only way we can move forward is to have partners who are committed to living with israel and not killing the state of israel. >> reporter: still israeli leaders have long complained that the u.s.-led peace talks were pointless if palestinians were divided and with the palestinian controlling, palestinian authority controlling the west bank and the hamas controlling gaza, well, now at least in theory they will be united. but of course israel has suspended talks. hamas has of course publicly refuses to announce israel's right to exist and refusing to stop violence. but palestinian officials i've spoke to in the last couple days say that, by hamas joining the palestinian leadership, that

they are essentially, obliged to -- obliged to all of the obligations that the palestinians have pledged. renouncing violence. creation of two states including recognition of israel. whether or not, jenna, hamas will actually agree to those and fulfill those promises is still a very big question of israeli leaders certainly don't think so. many people here in the region don't think hamas will live up to that as well. right now this is sort of the ongoing future of these talks right now. first it is israeli and palestinians talking. now it is hamas with the palestinian authority talking. at some point maybe with israelis. right now those talks are completely off. jenna: conor powell with the news from jerusalem. thank you. jon: just with the crisis in ukraine heating up as both sides dig in. ukrainian forces launching operations to take back control of government buildings in the east. at least five pro-russian militants killed in those clashes. this as an explosion rocks one

eastern city. antigovernment protesters there blowing up a military helicopter at an airfield. leland vittert is on the ground streaming live from dough necessary in ukraine. leland? >> reporter: jon, we got back from the main pro-russian strong hold that the uranium military is beginning to move in on. it appears while the ukrainian military is trying to get into the fight they're taking baby steps moving forward into a crisis that is getting ready to spin out of the control. the ukrainian air force has been flying helicopter gunships overhead all day in combat air patrols and ukrainian military is truly making an effort, checkpoints along the highway. you key armored personnel carriers, men checking cars, dug-in sandbag positions. the question going forward do ukrainians have an order to contain pro-russian separatists or are these guys over here, clearly special operations

forces being ready to move in against the pro-russian separatists that have taken over a number of buildings that are also dug in and try to actually retake a number of thesis cities? kicking separate activities out will be no easy task. its leaders have well a.r.m.ed bodyguards and this captured city hall turned headquarters is sandbagged and firing positions and snipers nest. we will stand on our ground and defend it says the militant spokeswoman. the only thing we can do is speak with the language of weapons. the other folks who are speaking loudly about this who are russians squarely behind the separate rate of it is. remember that president put teen says he reserves the right to use force in ukraine to invade this part of the country in russian interests or citizens are threatened. they have some 40,000 troops on the border. today, jon, those troops went through yet more military exercises, very, very close to ukrainian border, whether today's events are enough to give president putin that

pretext to invade or whether he is waiting for something else to happen, we'll just have to see. jon, back to you. jon: leland vittert, streaming live from ukraine. thank you. jenna: one historic event coming up at the vatican where two popes will be canonized as saints at the same time. we'll look back at their papacies and while the dual ceremony is not without controversy in the catholic church. jon: legalizing marijuana in colorado brought all sorts of unforeseen consequences but murder? why pot could be the key to twins of one man charged with killing his wife. jenna: wanted criminal evading police in an rv. how is that working out? more of this incredible high-speed chase next.

jon: well you don't see this every day. take a look at this dramatic scene in oklahoma city. at least a dozen police cars involved in a high-speed chase

of an rv. inside that vehicle, a man police say was wanted on drug charges along with a woman. the scene went on for a full half hour until the rv eventually crashed, caught fire on the side of a busy highway just outside the city. both people inside the r-v did surrender to police. nobody, we're thankful to report, was hurt in the chase. jenna: bizarre, right? marijuana could be key to a colorado man's defense in shootings of his wife. richard kirk is charged with first-degree murder. some say he will never be convicted because he smoked and ate pot hours before her death. let's bring in a legal panel. diana eisman and fill from a prosecutor. we mentioned this over past several weeks. the wife was on the phone with 911, calling 911 saying saying r husband was acting odd. that he had ingested marijuana and she was scared. it was while she was on the phone that he shoots her, he

kills her. let's start there. how was that come up in this case and how is it relevant to edible marijuana that he apparently ingested? >> sure. anytime you have an intoxication defense to murder it is really important to note that specific intent is a requisite element of murder. intoxication could negate the specific intent element. what is really important to note here is what was her tone on that 911 call? how did she sound? was she calling because she was concerned for her husband's safety or his well-being or was she calling because she was under attack or worryworried for herself? would also be important to know whether they had a history of violence and whether or not this was completely out of the blue behavior and that would be helpful for establishing that the thc in this case was really a cause for the attack. jenna: that is what other lauries are bringing up, phil, as well, about edible marijuana and whether or not this man knew

what his behavior was going to be like after marijuana. that is sort of what the defense is putting out there, listen, he wasn't aware because, this is a new product. it was real to do and he had a bad reaction. how do you think it holds up in court? >> i think it's a stretch. defense attorney is going with this defense, what he is showing making an affirmative defense, saying, yes, i ingested marijuana and i had a prescription but i didn't know the consequences. seriously he didn't know the consequences of marijuana may be you may get high? what the prosecution will do and first ask, mr. defendant, isn't it true you smoked marijuana on this day, this day, this day, go through entire history, he knew very well what effects could be even if he didn't attend massive effect of hallucination. jenna: diana, we did a big story from this on our colorado bureau, e.r. rooms in colorado are seeing a whole lot of folks coming in, children including ingested marijuana, because the products are not regulated,

because a lot of people don't know how they're going to react they're having bad reactions. if this guy is blaming the edible marijuana, that could the manufacturer be liable? could the state be liable because it is legal but we really don't know what is in some of the products? >> liability is really something reserved for a judge and jury and it is very specific, under these circumstances thc will affect somebody every single time they ingest it. the amount of thc, concentration will have different effect especially in edible form. that is different from smoking it that is a key distinction here. jenna: phil, we don't want to forget personal accountability and personal responsibility for your actions, whatever you take or taking alcohol or smoking marijuana or eating it, whatever. >> definitely. jenna: what about the first-degree murder charge, phil? what does that tell you about what the prosecutors may actually have in this case? >> i think the prosecution is coming very strong.

i don't know if that is a mistake. i think first-degree murder may be a stretch, however on the lesser, manslaughter that will be somewhat easy to prove because again the defense will have to show they were unaware of potential consequences. yes there is distinction between eating marijuana and smoking marijuana. i think that will a very difficult burden to show. the burden is on the defense when they try to prove an affirmative defense. jenna: to your point, phil, one of the things we confronted as a show, there is very little research on marijuana in general. when a new incident comes out we talk about, it will be interesting to see how research does or does not come into this case. great to see you both. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. jon: there is a chilling new report just out raising serious questions about america's roads and bridges. breaking details on those concerns next. plus a landmark day for college sports. our athletes, students or employees? the vote that could send shockwaves across the country just ahead.

jenna: right now a startling new report on america's infrastructure, showing 63,000 bridges across this country are structurally deficient. harris, that number alone is enough to make any driver nervous. >> reporter: no doubt. there are a lot of bridges in our country. this is a washington-based lobbying group compiled this federal data. it found one in 10 of all bridges in america are in need of urgent repair. of all the states on the list, pennsylvania led with the most. more than 5,000 unsound bridges. it says these are the very bridges where drivers and first-responders are crossing more than a quarter of a million times a day. this is important to note. not every bridge on the list is about to fall over. but the study looked at those just in need of repair. i want to remind everybody in 2007, because this is what comes

to mind. remember the i-35 bridge collapse in mississippi on the mississippi river in minneapolis? that is not what we're talking about here. they're not all on the verge but just in need of repair. states with the fewest number on list, nevada, delaware, utah, alaska, and hawaii. now a moment ago i mentioned this was done by a lobbying group. so it might be a little political. how so? states rely heavily on federal funds for to pay for road and bridge arguments. there is an argument out there funding could see short falls by late august as the federal highway trust fund draws closer to insolvency according to some opinions without congressional action. i put that out there because you may hear this come up again as a political talking point as we get through the summer. back to you. jenna: gives us something to think about. harris, thank you. >> sure. jon: it is a big day for college sports across the country as football players at northwestern university vote on forming the

nation's first college athletic union, a move that has some far-reaching implications, not just for other schools but for the future of the ncaa. mike tobin live near the northwestern campus in evanston, illinois. mike. >> jon, the poll is just about to close and looks like all 76 players voted. most of them not even 21. their decision could change college sports as we know them. the catch here we know we won't know the tally today. all of the ballots will be impounded until the full nlrb can hear an appeal to the ruling of the regional nlrb. that was the ruling that gave players the ability to form a union of the decision today is whether they want to. one thing is certain. the university does not want this. >> northwestern will fight this to the very last breath of the fight. they will take it as high as they have to go. would the united states supreme court become interested in this case? it's a real possibility.

>> reporter: now the university has thrown everything it can at a no vote here. some people on the periphery say they're putting excessive pressure on the players. even if the wildcats vote no, the ruling on books from nlrb so that players can form an opinion. in the opinion of analyst lester munson. sooner or later some team will. jon? jon: will be interesting day. mike tobin thank you. jenna: small number of troops on the ground in poland as white house tries to ease concerns over tensions in russia. some say they need a missile defense shield, the missile defense shield canceled by our president in 2009. we'll get into details on that. on a light note. old macdonald got a bit after makeover. ronald macdonald that is. we'll have details on his new threads and controversy on social media.

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.

jon: "happening now," a new push underway in europe to resurrect our now canceled our missile defense shield. president obama trashed president bush's plans to place anti-missile batteries in poland in 2009. russia opposed the project from the beginning. now rising tensions with moscow over ukraine has some saying, missile defense is a necessarity. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon this morning.

jennifer, why is this coming up now? >> reporter: jon, in 2009 as you mentioned when president obama scratched plans to developed by the bush administration to put ground bases, missile interceptors in poland and a sophisticated radar system in the czech republic it was largely seen as a gesture of good will to reset relations with russia which saw the missile plans as a threat. now in response to putin's aggression in ukraine, some members of congress want president obama to reinstate those plans and to accelerate plans to send sm-3 interceptors to europe and put patriot missiles in poland. republican congressman mike turner is pushing for more missile defense. quote, the obama administration has been unable to counter escalation of putin's aggressive posture. instead they have been defensive, unsure and you unable to change putin's course of action. critics say putin hasn't responded to the threat of more sanctions and missile defense is something that would get his attention, jon. jon: so why isn't the u.s.

administration moving faster to get these systems online? >> reporter: well, for one, it may not be the correct tool to stop putin. >> if it makes any sense as missile defense as appropriate response. vladmir putin, for all of his ridiculous behavior this year is not threatening to fire missiles at anybody. we know missile defense might make him a little angry. that might make us feel good at moment for pay back, but that is not the kind of thing that will deter him from going into ukraine. >> reporter: the white house added in a statement, quote, the united states deployed missile defense radar to turkey. employed missile defense capable ships in and will install another interceptor site in poland that wail will be operational in 2013. in other words, president obama did not scrap missile defense in europe but shifted it to other systems the sm-3 system.

putin is using conventional ground troops, not missiles to threaten his neighbors. jon? >> jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. jenna: hillary clinton is at center of speculation of a possible white house run another democratic woman is getting a lot of media attention. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren repeatedly run if she will run in 2016 but she keeps saying no but people keep asking. howard kurtz, you say the media won't take no for an answer? >> it is entertaining to watch and press at its absolute worse, jenna. again and again elizabeth warren is asked, are you running, thinking about running, might you run. she says no. if you get pundits and take the words and hold them up to the light and leave reading them backwards she is leaving the door ajar. the media are bored with hillary. looks like she will sail unopposed to nomination if she runs. almost like we're trying to coax

elizabeth warren into the race to give us something to write about. jenna: reality show drama, if you will between these two women. what if it turns out if she runs. will you look at the press all along they were right foreasking. >> i'm not certainly saying politicians always tell the truth in this situation. for example, barack obama as i recall told the late tim russert that he would not run for president in 2008. so i don't blame the press for being cynical. i think there is an effort here to gin up something that isn't there. if it turns out i'm wrong, save the tape. we can talk about in 2016. jenna: to your point, howard, we wonder if the press is obsessed with one person and maybe who they could be missing and maybe should ask the question of some other folks. what do you have coming up on "mediabuzz this weekend? >> we will talk about president obama's trip to asia and stringing column by david brooks whether he has a manhood come problem in the middle east although he qualified that. we get one of the moments comes

together on this trip. he hasn't accomplished much other than eating high grade sushi and checking out the japanese robot. we have an interview with muriel hemingway, the actress, why she is going public with her painful past. growing up in a family where there were so many suicides thad grandfather, ernest hemingway. jenna: sounds like a great show, howard. thanks so much. >> good to see. >> catch howard on weekends, sunday at 11:00 eastern time and five p.m. here on the fox news channel. jon: well, two popes set to be canonized as saints at the vatican. a closer look at two of the most influential catholic leaders of the 20th century. and buildings destroyed in a natural gas explosion but threat might not be over. why authorities are ordering evacuations. that's ahead. rererered and seven thousand dollars per minute.

that's what big oil made last year... now they're spending it to rig the system against you. pushing washington to cut american-made biofuels... bullying gas stations to use more of their oil... all so they get richer...and you pay more. truth is, biofuels are cleaner, better for your engine and less expensive. washington, don't let big oil rig the system any more. protect the renewable fuel standard.

i don't always have timeh to eat like i should.. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes. [male announcer] glucerna... jenna: an historic event in the catholic church this weekend of

the two popes, john xxiii and john paul ii will be canonized as saints in a dual ceremony on sunday. chief religion correspondent lauren green has a look from our new york city newsroom. hi, lauren. >> reporter: they are calling this the day of four popes because pope francis will reside and predecessor pope benedict xvi will be there as well. france is making unprecedented move this week he will haven'ting to sainthood, pope john paul the 20 second and john xxiii, two pillars of the mod inker church. >> pope john paul ii is world changing historical figure. more people are unfamiliar with john xxiii who was by his own right a very important pope who called the second vatican council which put in all changes we know today in the modern church. >> reporter: when he was elected pope in 1958 many thought the elderly john xxiii, nicknamed the good pope would have a caretaker papacy.

he called for a second vast can council a meeting of world bishops that would shake things up. at the council was a young polish bishop who would come pope john paul ii. one of the longest serving popes who would continue the legacy of council which became known as vatican ii. >> john xxiii calling the council and john paul ii the one who effectively moved it forward. for more than a quarter of a century. >> reporter: now the sainthoods are not without controversy. john paul ii's cannonnization process kind of fast-tracked. it began prior to the normal five-year waiting period. and john xxiii, although two miracles are required for sainthood, pope francis actually wave waived that for him. jenna. jenna: interesting, lauren. thank you very much. lou: to a fox news alert. we learn of a fatal stabbing inside of a connecticut high

school. police say a 16-year-old was killed in the attack at jonathan law high school in milford, connecticut, around 7:00 this morning. jonathan hunt with the latest on that. >> reporter: terrible tragedy here, jon. the victim has not been named as 16-year-old maren sanchez. she was apparently attacked by a fellow junior at jonathan law high school in milford, connecticut, as jon said, just after 7:00 a.m. this morning. as you look at some aerial pictures from outside of the school. here is the school student. >> a member the school staff witnessed a portion of the assault, and she along with other members the school staff discovered the victim to have life-threatening injuries. members of the school staff performed life-saving measures on the student. ems was notified. they responded.

they too attempted to perform life-saving measures upon the student. the student was transported to bridgeport hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 7:43 this morning. >> reporter: 7:43 this morning, just about 30 minutes or so after that attack took place. now another junior at jonathan law high school told our colleagues at foxnews.com that maren sanchez was attacked by the male student after she refused to go on a prom date with him. police have not confirmed that information. they have simply told us that they are investigating. they have taken the 16-year-old male student into custody of the he has not been named. but jon, jenna, just a terrible tragedy unfolding at the high school this morning. jon: such an awful thing. spring and prom, people normally looking forward to that. >> reporter: a lost emotions around prom and totally out of

hand. jon: jonathan hunt. thank you. jenna: right now, ronald mcdonald getting a makeover for the first time in 10 years and apparently he is loving it but the rest of us, maybe not so much. everyone's a critic, harris, everyone. >> reporter: everybody. admittedly though i don't get often my fashion sense from mcdonald's burger dude. jenna: true. >> reporter: i do like you jenna, like to rock some bright colors. here it is, the video. no more jumpsuit. now he is doing cargo pants. the original outfit was designed by a broadway costume designer who won a tony by the way for beauty and the beast. according to mcdonned's a global director they are working on sharpening ronald's image a couple years. this is what they came up with. looks like they straightened out his wild hair. maybe got like a blowout. that's what i do. he is on twitter now. after taco bell recently made fun of ronald mcdonald in a commercial, he tweet ad picture of chihuahua, taco bell's

jenna: right now a massive gas explosion rocking a small town near seattle. the early morning blast leveling three businesses at the strip mall in north bend triggering a two-alarm fire and forcing some people from their homes. firefighters are sifting through the debris searching for clues but residents say it could have been a whole lot worse. >> we all figured it was -- jenna: whoops. well, sorry about that. sometimes that happens with some tape that we get in. fire officials say two people suffered minor injuries. a thousand customers are currently without power. those in the area say it could have been worse. we're glad it wasn't. jon: scary stuff. a new battle brewing in illinois

over the future location of president obama's presidential library and whether taxpayers there eventually will have to foot the bill. chief congressional correspondent mike tobin joins us live from the white house. mike. >> reporter: jon, good afternoon. jon: mike emanuel. excuse me. >> reporter: no offense taken. good afternoon, jon. folks in chicago are making a serious push to try to get the obama presidential library built there. mayor rahm emanuel wants to use $100 million to help build the obama presidential library in the city of chicago. already he is making a serious sales push. >> this is where the president started his career as a community organizer. this is where he started his career, professionally, as a state senator, u.s. senator and became nationally-known. he will make that decision. i think it is really appropriate it be here but i'm not going to take anything for granted. >> reporter: another major contender is expected to be hawaii where the president spent much of his childhood and where

he takes his family every year for christmas vacation. folks in hawaii say they are very fired up about the possibility of having the presidential center being built in honolulu. they're going to make a serious push for that. so there will be competition but illinois republicans say, with the state facing serious fiscal issues including a huge deficit in its pension program, they can not justify using tax dollars. now a number of sites across chicago have been discussed and many folks agree it would be a great get for the city but they note that the president to win re-election raise ad billion dollars. so they're saying that his supporters should go out and raise the money privately and not use public tax dollars at a time when the state of illinois is having such a tough time covering its costs and making serious decisions about what they can pay and what they have to sacrifice. they would love to have the presidential library in chicago.

they can not use public dollars. there is the ongoing struggle. some democrats want to use public money. a lot of republicans say do it like other presidential libraries, raise all the money from supporters. jon: illinois does have some significant budget problems these days. it would seem. >> reporter: well, that's right. the pension program is like 100 billiondollars in debt. they're trying to figure out how they're going to cover that. so there are a lot of serious fiscal issues in illinois and the city of chicago specifically. so a lot of people are scratching their heads about using it for something they would like versus a total necessity. jon: mike emanuel is at the white house. mike tobin, covers the midwest out of our chicago bureau which may be why i made a little mistake there. it's friday. happy friday. jenna: speaking of fridays we've been telling you a lot about changes coming to the fox lineup. it is very important. we want you to know all about that. we have another big change to tell you about. so stick around for that.
