"happening now" starts right now jenna: really watch out for that martha. we have to keep an eye. jon: don't get any ideas. jenna: you have a few interviews today. i have many opportunities. hello, everybody, hope you're off to a great friday. the president asking congress for a half billion dollars to train syrian rebels. one of our big stories. i'm jenna lee. jon: good idea or too little too late? i'm jon scott. this effort to combat sunni militants streaming across the syrian border and trying to take over iraq. the white house claiming it
8:01 am
would properly vet members of the syrian opposition to insure the weapons we provide do not fall into the wrong hands. jennifer griffin live in our d.c. bureau with more on that controversial proposal. jennifer. >> reporter: jon, in a near about face president obama signaled he now intend to ramp up training of syria's so-called moderate opposition after resisting calls to do so for three years since the syrian civil war began. secretary of state john kerry flew to saudi arabia where he met today with the head of the syrian opposition a day after the white house requested $500 million from congress to begin a more serious effort to train and arm syria's moderate opposition fighters. the request for $500 million to train the syrian opposition was larger than expected and came as part of the administration's request for $68.5 billion in overseas contingency operations, or oco funding.
8:02 am
$5 billion of that will be slated for counterterrorism overseas. pentagon officials indicated training would not begin until next year. the training would last six to eight months but congress would need to approve the program. u.s. military trainers would take over a much smaller training program that has been run by the cia out of jordan. the president addressed the growing crisis in irsyria and iraq during an interview this morning. >> pay attention to the threats that are, that are eminating from the chaos in the middle east. although i want to be very clear, we're not sending combat troops into iraq. >> reporter: the real problem for the pentagon right now is where to conduct the training. special forces seems had been using neighboring jordan but jordan's king worried that he will become a target of isis, the sunni insurgents sweeping through syria and iraq, if he lets the u.s. military have a high-profile presence in his
8:03 am
kingdom which is already overrun with millions of syrian refugees, jon. jon: jennifer griffin, in washington. thank you. jenna: with so much happening in the middle east we would be remiss in a big meeting focusing on iran's nuclear program and deteriorating situation in iraq. eric shawn is streaming live from paris with this. eric. >> reporter: it is massive call for regime change in tehran. this is the largest gathering of iranian opposition outside of paris. sponsors expect about 100,000 people to be protesting here. they all will be united with one message, don't trust iran. the sponsor of this group is the council of resistance of iran, formerly known as the mek it has a controversial history having been on the terrorist list but has been delisted over the past six years by u.s. and european authorities. it is calling for elections, gender equality and no nuclear weapons in iran. we sat down with an exclusive
8:04 am
interview with its leader, maryam regbeia. she does not want them to give right to enrich uranium which would violate six united nations resolution. if they are given the right as expected, it will be a clear path to a nuclear bomb. >> translator: we hope indeed negotiations the international community would succeed in halting the iranian regime's advances and ambitions. halting the bomb making of mullahs what we in the iranian resistance and we want. direction of the talks does not show such a thing. >> reporter: mrs. rajavi accused iran spreading fundamentalism and around the region. she calls ma laky an quote, iranian operative and iranian puppet. there could be a protest at camp
8:05 am
liberty. the group attracted bipartisan support of former officials associated with it, among them former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. >> this is in favor of a nuclear-free iran, a really nuclear-free iran. not an iran that has nuclear capacity that can then play around with us, whether or not they are two months away or one month away or three months away from being a nuclear power. so this is a group very much in the interest of the united states to support. to create leverage against the ayatollahs. >> reporter: tehran granted this group a terrorist group, saying it is fabricated allegations against it and it is a cult. mrs. rajavi told me she completely rejects the charges saying that the iranian government is afraid of iranian opposition this that want to pop pill it. live in france. eric shawn, fox news. back to you, jenna.
8:06 am
jenna: thank you, eric. jon: in this country republicans are demanding accountability from the obama administration after irs scandal after heated testimony on capitol hill over those missing lois lerner emails. also the revelation that lerner suggested auditing a top republican senator. yesterday on "happening now," former chief u.s. assistant attorney mccarthy said lawmakers would be better not setting sights on white house but lower irs officials instead. listen. >> one thing to say we don't have the votes to impeach president obama despite all the lawlessness. quite another thing with irs officials who violated the lou outrageously. don't impeach them and let the democrats defend the irs in the senate if that's what they want to do. >> let's talk about it with chief political correspondent for the "washington examiner," fox news contributor byron york and bloomberg chief new york city chief, jonathan allen. jonathan, to you first. we went from the president
8:07 am
saying he was outraged when he first heard of irs targettings of conservative groups to him telling bill o'reilly there was not a smidgen of corruption at irs. the public does not seem to agree. >> i don't think there is any evidence so far of wrongdoing with these missing documents but what you can tell from the "fox news poll" that just came out what you would intuit. that the american public is having a hard time swallowing the idea that irs just lost all these documents. i don't think will change. this is huge political perception problem, not just for the irs but for the obama administration as mr. mccarthy suggest ad few minutes ago, as far as a political issue goes. the democrats are not going to want to defend the irs, if it becomes about that fight, basically the democrats defending irs against republicans i can tell you who is on safe political ground. jon: those fox news polls he was referring to, byron, you probably saw them, say 76% of americans believe that lois lerner's missing e-mails were deliberately destroyed.
8:08 am
talking about how they are handling all of this, there seems to be this arrogance from the irs. i mean john koskinen has not done his agency any favors when it comes to public presentation on capitol hill. >> not a bit. i mean he really angered a lot of republicans. his attitude seemed to be you will know what i decide to tell you. and as congressional overseers they don't see it working that way. i think what you will see in the next few weeks is this investigation is going to move into a much more technical, kind of down in the weeds phase because when you think about it, everything we know about the failure of lois lerner's heart drive, we know it because top officials of the irs told us. what you are going to see congressional investigators looking at or trying to get down into the i.t. department of the irs, find out exactly what happened, exactly what kind of hard drive was it? exactly what happened? who worked on it precisely? what about outside contractors to and vendors? they will want to know all these details to see, one, if the irs story is credible.
8:09 am
and two, if it is possible in fact to recover this information. jon: what about the attitude from the white house, jonathan? i mean i think you got an illustration of it yesterday when 9-0, the supreme court said that president obama had exceeded his authority when he made those recess appointments, so-called recess appointments to the national labor relations board, president says, well, they're wrong but we'll respect the decision. i mean, is that the kind of thing that permeates the administration all the way down through the irs and beyond? >> the president is the constitutional lawyer, not one of the nine supreme court justices in that case. jon: and pretty proud of his opinions apparently. >> if the irs scandal is happening in vacuum i think it is possible that the members of the ways and means committee and public might be forgiving but not happening in a vacuum. you in fact have a large pattern of by the obama administration giving up as little information as possible to the public and congress. what you have got is a history here where the republicans in
8:10 am
congress are invigorated to go after this in part because they feel like the white house has not been honest with them in the past about other issues, whether has to do with some of the testimony eric holder has given in the past. whether it has to do with benghazi emails. there is whole litany of issues here where republicans see overreach by administration unwillingness to be overseen by congress. with this case in the irs, with technical issues byron was talk about there is legitimate ways and means oversight function that is served by investigating this. the administration has had a lot of computer problems going back to obamacare as well. there should be oversight of congress into the i.t. department at the irs. jon: reverse of that, byron, the administration liked to blame republicans in congress for all kinds of ills. you know, can't get their agenda through, can't improve the economy and so forth but the public seems to be coming around at least in these fox news polls thinking that many of the problems may lie at the administration's doorstep? >> well i think it is just a common sense reaction on the
8:11 am
part of the public. the whole disappearance of the irs emails, think about it, yourself. just seems kind of fishy. seems a little too convenient. i think that is exactly what you're seeing in that poll. benghazi, for example, as another investigation, the public doesn't feel they have gotten the whole answer. it is not as if they believe the administration has not said a word. just that they don't believe they have gotten quite the whole story. i think as jonathan said, this is recurring pattern now with the obama administration. jon: jonathan allen, first time we talked to you in a while. good to have you on. byron york, thank you. >> thank you. jon: see you, guys. jenna: we'll switch topics dramatically. dash-cam video has a man attacking deputies claiming his father on another planet made him do it. how the officers here on earth handled the whole situation. this man is accused of the 2012 terror attacks in benghazi. we'll tell you what to expect in the coming days.

8:16 am
last night along with headlining a campaign fund-raiser, in the minneapolis area. so before he goes back to washington he has a little speech on the economy. if you would like to watch his remarks about the way forward for america, and the economy, go to foxnews.com to watch it streaming live there. jon: right now new information on some crime stories we're keeping an eye on. dash-cam video catch as guy smashing a police windshield in michigan with a metal pipe. he surrendered seconds later, giving a rather strange reason for the assault. the guy claims he was sent by his father from the planet zoltron and could crush the cruiser if he wished. zoltron. instead of officers put cuffs on him which he was not able to break. he was jailed on charges of assault and destroying police property. we kid you not. detroit police arresting stepmother of a 12-year-old boy found alive in the basement of his home 11 days after he
8:17 am
vanished on a probation violation. police continued to investigate the boy's case, focusing whether he was abused. oscar pistorius returns to court on monday following a 30-day mental observation to establish whether "the blade runner" is, quote, criminally responsible, unquote, for killing his girlfriend on valentine's day in 2013. it will be up to the court to determine how to move forward given the results of the mental exam. jenna: a lot of anticipation as we await the arrival of a terror suspect in the nights e united states. the name of that terror suspect, ahmed khattalah. is accused in the benghazi terror attacks. he is head to this country on the uss new york. a senior u.s. official says he is expected here in a matter of a few days to face murder charges in federal court for the attack that left four americans dead including our ambassador chris stevens. senior correspondent adam housley is live in los angeles with more on this story, adam? >> reporter: really depends on how talk to whether khattalah
8:18 am
was a big get. whether you arrest somebody potentially involved in this crime it's a good arrest. however those with direct knowledge will tell you that the hunt and attack for those responsible for this attack has really been hindered by a lot of non-action. they say intelligence could have been acted upon, much larger targets are completely put on hold. one said, khattalah is low-hanging fruit. we could have picked him up months and months ago. there was no change or urgency to do this now. exclusively fox learned that the united states has a target list, that initially contained about 10 suspects identified within days of the attack and eventually grew to more than 20 as american special forces conducted surveillance in and around benghazi. four groups in target list include ansar al-sharia, the top target is the emere of them. you heard of him before. he was a prisoner at guantanamo bay for about five years and at the time was classified by analysts at the
8:19 am
prison as a probable member of al qaeda, despite that significant threat to american security, he was released as part of an amnesty for militants in 2008. in the same group but at the bottom of the list is khattalah. others include al qaeda and libyan militants. multiple sources with direct knowledge of the benghazi attack question why more of the investigation is not centered of libyan landlord of the american facilities? benghazi? his name is alba sharry. some insist that he knows a lot more than letting on and key connection to everyone else at night at least should be intensely questioned about what he may know about the attacks, end quote. bashari said to bought a new hotel in benghazi as he will well. this landlord, basharry insists he is innocent and says the u.s. owes him money because two facilities he was landlord of, still lie in somewhat of a ruin the state because of those
8:20 am
attacks. a lot of questions here, jenna. a lot of people that are involved or at least know about the attack in very significant detail tell you they are really unsure why khattalah is being touted as a big get when there are so many others that they know about, we know about are out there and basically doing what they want to do in and around libya. jenna. jenna: key points as we await news of khattalah on our shores now. adam, thank you. >> reporter: all right. jon: there is new information on missing malaysian airlines flight 370. what investigators say probably happened to the 239 souls on board that doomed jet. why they are now shifting the search area in the indian ocean. plus gas prices on the rise. have you noticed? you might think it is all because of the crisis in iraq but the answer is a little more complicated. legendary oil man t. boone pickens breaks it down for us. w opportunity.

8:24 am
comcast business. built for business. jon: right now australian investigators releasing a new report on malaysia airlines flight 370. the transport safety board says the 239 passengers and crew on that missing jet likely suffocated and were unconscious when it crashed into the indian ocean back on march 8th. the report also narrowing down the possible final resting place of that jetliner, leading them to shift the search area about 1200 miles south in the indian ocean. jenna: well let's take a look at gas prices right now. according to the latest from aaa a gallon of gas costs $3.68 a gallon, up three cents from this time last month but some analysts say we could be paying $5 a gallon later this summer in different parts of this country because of what is going on in the middle east. we really wanted to get some good answers on this. we have a nice guest for our viewers today.
8:25 am
t. boone pickens, legendary oil man joins us now with what he thinks about the oil market. mr. boone, great to have you. >> okay, you said gasoline and you said oil market. so i'm going -- jenna: we'll divide the two of them. obviously they're different. >> okay. jenna: i'm curious what you think about the oil market specifically because a lot of folks when they see the headlines about what is going on in iraq, have concerns what happens in the middle east what does that mean for the oil market overall. how are you looking at? >> for opec, the only country that is growing production is iraq. and they counted on production being four million barrels by the end of the year. that isn't even close to being accurate. i would say, you know, if they're lucky they will be closer to two million than four million. because of all of the things going on in that country today and i see it as a civil war, that they could go along the same lines as libya did. and libya was producing a million 1/2 barrels a day.
8:26 am
today they're producing 2 ore 300,000 barrels. so it's, if they got libya model, the world is going to be tight, tight for oil because iraq is the only country that is growing production other than the united states. jenna: what do you think -- >> we grow production too. jenna: what do you think that means as far as on the consumer level? what do you think the impact of that could be? >> well, consumer level, i don't know, about $5. you mentioned $5 gasoline. i don't know how you exactly get to that point that quick but we do do know that globally, gasoline, the gasoline market is a global market and so you could if you took iraq out of the equation, you're going to see 150 to $175 oil, is what you're going to see. so we watch iraq very, very close. and it's very dicey situation.
8:27 am
right now because they are in a civil war. jenna: that is one of the reasons why a news item that didn't get a lot of attention was one that we wanted to talk to you about today because right now in our country we're not allowed to export oil, crude oil that is and something happened this week where the obama administration gave a few waivers to two companies to allow them to export a very specific type of crude oil and some are pointing at that as potentially a tipping point for the oil market and a growth area for u.s. oil companies. what do you think about that? what do you think that means? >> well, you're talking about the pioneer enterprise permit but that didn't come from the white house. that came from the commerce department. and secretary pritzker understands the oil and gas industry very well. and so, what they told them they could do is they could run their condensate through a distiller and then export it as product.
8:28 am
well we export four million barrels a day. so the pioneer enterprise permit that they got from commerce is not that big a deal but it is, you know, it is a smart move on the part of those companies. and so but they're going -- jenna: do you think we should be exporting? should we drop the law from, going back to the oil embargo of the 1970s, preventing companies from exporting a bunch of crude? do you think we should claiming that now considering what is going on in the middle east and considering our production here in the united states? >> well, you realize that we are using 18 million barrels of crude oil a day and we're import about half of it. so we're importing crude. now we're going to export crude. the reason that takes place is because the refineries are set to process middle east crude. that happens several years ago
8:29 am
when they switched away from light sweet to heavier crude in the refining complex in america. so now i would just assume they would switch back again which is going to be expensive, but, the united states is producing more and more crude all of the time. i think that the refineries will switch back and will process light sweet and not so much middle east. but i would like to -- jenna: go ahead. >> i would like to get, i would like to get completely away from importing middle east crude. now we import about four million barrels of opec crude every day. not all of that comes from the middle east. only a million 700,000 barrels. the other comes from angola, venezuela, nigeria. those are not middle east countries as you know. jenna: absolutely. >> but what we, what we need is an energy plan for america. we've never had a plan. we're operating with some laws that were developed 40 years ago.
8:30 am
the one about you can't export crude oil. that's one. another 40-year-old law we have 700 million barrels of oil in storage in mississippi and louisiana and that's the strategic petroleum reserve. jenna: right. >> that needs to be looked at too. someplace in washington they need to sit down and develop an energy plan. jenna: we would love to have you come back to talk more about that, a strategic vision for the oil market because of all the production. i can't let you do it now and i need more time. i have to show the viewers one video before you go, boone, because of you exercising and i just want folks to know who they're dealing with when they see you on camera. if we could run the video. your workout is incredible. you put this video on the web and you challenged the president to a workout competition. did you ever get a response from the president, mr. boone? >> i got got same response we've
8:31 am
gotten on the keystone pipeline. jenna: which i would imagine is no response? >> nothing. no response. jenna: i have 30 seconds. what do you do as a workout every day? >> i worked out this morning and i did squats on the ball. i did three sets of 25. and with a 75-pound vest on. and i've got, i've got, i've got good knees. so, but i curl 35s and i push down 140 and i have been at it. i have the same trainer for 23 years. i'm 86 years old. and everything up till now, seems to work pretty good. jenna: well, i would like to join you for one of those workouts. i'm seven 1/2 months pregnant. i can't do it right now. maybe down the line if you have me we'll do a little work out together. >> i hope you are working out at 7 1/2 months. jenna: i'm carrying like a 30-pound weight. not the 75-pound weight that you
8:32 am
put on today under your vest. mr. boone, great to have you, thank you so much for the time today. we appreciate it very much. >> thank you, jenna. jenna: we'll be right back. bill clinton the topic of our media panel next. but still not getting relief? try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax is comfort-coated for gentle, over-night relief. dulcolax. predictable over-night relief you can count on.
8:35 am
8:36 am
said they were dead broke when they left the white house and could not after barely afford their houses plural. they made tens of millions of dollars in the post-white house years are not truly well off. president clinton added a fuel to the fire by telling folks he bought a handful of watches for friends, recently, a dozen or so, that cost about $550 a piece. hillary went ton to dismiss the benghazi scandal and snapped at a reporter when questioned about her evolving position on her support of gay marriage. all of this while her book sales seem to be on the decline. let's talk about all of this with judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning investigative author and tammy bruce, audio talk show host. both are fox news contributors. tammy, are the media giving the clintons a fair shake or is there some piling on going on here? >> you know it is interesting. this is one of the problems with the clintons, particularly any
8:37 am
leading democrat. the media usually does give them a pass. this is what has happened with the clintons. they're used to not being asked serious, difficult questions. just like obama is. what happens is, you get lazy and you get surprised when someone at npr asks awe question you maybe don't expect. even diane sawyer, at one point hillary seemed very perplexed with diane sawyer asking pointed questions which was the first interview. it is not a favor for a candidate. it makes them lazy. it makes them surprised. more difficult to answer questions because you're not prepared for them. i do think in this case not they're piling on to hillary. we have a very politicized media as my column in the "washington times." the difficulty reporters have with a politicized environment. but with, what i think they're doing more appealing more to obama. the media liked obama more than they liked hillary in '08. they still have 2 1/2 years of obama and i still think they're in some ways trying to show him
8:38 am
their loyalty frankly. jon: i wanted to ask you about that, judy, because six years ago when the campaign was in full swing hillary clinton actually got roughed up by the media quite a bit where as barack obama, you know, the mainstream media were fawning in their portrayals of him. is that habit continuing? >> no, i don't think so. i think the media have learned a lot and i think hillary clinton has learned a lot. for one thing she is going to have this long book tour to work out the kinks in her presentation. there is no doubt as tammy has pointed out and john, as you have noted there have been gaffs, really kind of surprising gaffs from a veteran politician. but she is going to have an opportunity to refine the lines, to get her act totally together by the time she officially declares, if she declares but here's my concern, jon and tammy. it's, are we going into a burnout with hillary? look, we already have her everywhere before the midterm
8:39 am
elections. then she is going to have the book tour. she will make news where she goes. are we going to get to a stage by the time she announces everybody will be tired of her. jon: some think she made that mistake in the last campaign, tammy, by sort of, you know, coming in as the anointed one and everybody thought she was going to get it and she thought she was going to get it and poof she didn't. >> look there is this, it's a very strange variety like with barack obama. he seems to feel as though nothing really happens unless it happens on television. i think mrs. clinton may be in the same position. we, now a generation of course we are, that everything does seem to happen on television but to make your life reality television show does not help the american people. there seems to be less of a desire to move in with individual americans on a day-to-day basis. obama seems to be doing more of that in washington, going to certain restaurants and such but the fact is, you've got a couple of people here who feel that
8:40 am
everything must be televised and the media of course, look, we've got 24/7 media, 24/7 news, that really does then water down the nature of what's important and for a candidate like hillary or even for a president i think even they begin to loose sight about what it is they need to be saying because they're on television so much. jon: judy, comes down to equal treatment of parties. i remember when nancy reagan was so roundly criticized in the media changing china pattern. hillary clinton comes out of the white house claiming she is dead broke, i don't know, what about the differences there. >> look at this. transformation of hillary clinton. we've had a woman who went from being the cookie-baking, headband wearing first spouse, to someone who has had a dazzling political career on her own. she is a superb politician. she got the nomination for senate without real contenders as senator. she has been secretary of state.
8:41 am
i think hillary is a role model for some women who see her as -- >> oh, boy -- >> finally going to break that glass sealing. >> oh, boy. >> despite her flaws. jon: sound like we have seeds of a debate for the next time we pair the two of you up. >> i disagree with judith miller, what do you know. jon: tammy bruce, judy miller, we'll get you back on to disagree next time. thank you to you both. jenna: nightmare for a california family who fired a nanny for refusing to work. now they say she refuses to leave their home and cops say they can do nothing about this our legal panel takes it up next. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because you can't beat zero heartburn. woo hoo!

jon: in just about 15 minutes somebody is going to be "outnumbered." sandra and harris. what do you have coming up? >> hey there, jon. we're awaiting for a huge supreme court ruling. should employers have to cover birth control even if it goes against their religious beliefs? hobby lobby big challenge to the obamacare mandate. >> this is a big case. developments in that. looks like big brother got a medical degree. how hospitals and ares are watching us very closely and on lookout for bad health habits. can they do that? >> a big question we're asking ourselves. can guys and girls be friends or just buddies? an a-list actor says there is no such thing as friend zone when it comes to men and women. we'll debate that. >> plus our #oneluckyguy. you don't want to miss this,
8:46 am
"outnumbered" at top of the hour. >> it's a good one. jon: that sounds interesting. we'll be watching. thank you. jenna: she is beauty, grace and apparently just too old. 24-year-old amanda long acre was stripped of her miss delaware title and scholarship money less than two weeks after she was crowned because of her age. the miss america pageant is in september. long acre will turn 25 in october. the fine print states states that contestants must be 24 years old through december 31st to qualify for miss america. her october birthday, now makes her inhe willable to compete. despite officials having and verifying her birth certificate, her driver's license and social security card before she even entered miss delaware. let's bring in our legal panel. arthur aidala, fox news legal analyst and fred tecce, former federal prosecutor on a topic that we know you're experts at. >> i'm a former beauty queen.

jenna: we'll start with you, first, arthur because obviously -- you. >> look in a swimsuit. jenna: is there anything she can do? she sign ad contract she would provide accurate information. does the beauty pageant owe her any information before they allow her in the contest. >> she supplied accurate information. date of birth, social security number and social security card and whatever kind of identification they wanted she gave to them. it was like at two different levels. it was at the state level and i think the national level. both times they verified and gave her a green light to go forward. and then, after they give it to her, they take it back, after she cancels her master's program, after she can sells her job at department of justice. i'm saying lawsuit. jenna: what would be the lawsuit though, fred? >> a lot of things. look, you know my dedication to the law knows no bounds and my opinion in this matter is not affected by pictures of her in
8:48 am
the red bikini on the internet. my well-oil legal mind works just the same. jenna: come on. >> i can, i can think of a few things she could sue for. i would come up with age discrimination. interestingly i think the rules are not clear. this is where she would prevail. the rules say contestant must be 24 years of age. at the time she was contestant in delaware she met the age requirement. quite frankly at time she would be a contestant in the miss america pageant in october she would be 24 years of age. i don't think delaware has any right to revoke her crown. look you always say there is run err up if she can't attend, let her keep the crown and send somebody else but to strip it from her is wrong. jenna: get back to your point, arthur. she did awe the things because she thought she was miss delaware. she stopped internship at department of justice. she will suspend her master's degree work at university of pennsylvania. has $11,000 in her pocket she has to give back. i'm not sure i can get any of those positions back now.
8:49 am
>> well, what she would win a lawsuit would have to depend whether she lost those opportunities. if she does lose opportunity to have internship that is one thing. i don't know how valuable that is. if she lose as semester of her life, gave the seat in the master's program to someone else, those are three months, four months she can't get back anymore because of their negligence, that is valuable. jenna: regardless of the red bathing suit you both would take this case on the grounds of what was done to her by the foundation. >> extreme emotional distress. >> the fact she is going to the university of pennsylvania down the street i'm right here. put on my phone number, please. jenna: i will leave it alone. it's a friday. i give you a bit of a pass. arthur, fred, nice to see you both. thank you. >> thank you. jon: well, life is not a "cabaret" lately for actor shia
