1:07 pm
pounding on the door screaming for god's sake, open the door. and worse from the very beginning, we hear screams of passengers. and that means that for eight minutes, it seems like they knew they were facing death. now there were more reports today as well about lubitz's health. that's possibly contributing factor behind this crash. he is said to have suffered from a torn retina that would limit hits eyesight that would surely lead to the possible loss of this job. and there has also been more evidence of a bad case of depression. we went to his old neighborhood today and took a look around. look at what we saw. you are looking at the apartment in a wet but pleasant neighborhood of dusseldorf, germany where the german wings copilot had lived. the german flag stands at half mast here. we spoke to one neighbor of lubitz, and he like a lot of

1:09 pm
defending a new state law that has developed criticism across the country. mike pens says the religious freedom restoration act protects people from being forced to do something that goes against their religious beliefs. some opponents say the law allows businesses they fear to discriminate against gay people. will car joins us from the newsroom with the details. >> reporter: this morning the governor was quick to point out that 19 states have similar laws on the books. now, he finds his legislation -- signed this legislation based on federal law signed by president bill clinton in the early '90s. he also pointed out when president obama was a senator in ill illinois he signed a similar law. >> yes or no, if a florist in indiana refuses to serve a gay
1:10 pm
couple at their wedding is that legal now in indiana? >> george this is where this debate has gone, with misinformation, and frankly. >> it's just a question, sir. yes or no? >> there has been shameless rhetoric about my state and about this law and about its intention all over the internet. people are trying to make it about one particular issue. and now you are doing that as well. >> pens has reiterated several times he does not wleevl this law discriminates against gay couples. he signed it on thursday. since we've seen a number of protests, including one that had thousands of people in indianapolis. we've also heard from ceos, celebrities and athletes. all condemning the law and criticizing indiana. >> i have two kids that could possibly not be served because somebody doesn't believe in me being married to another woman. >> this morning we heard from apple ceo tim cook on twitter. he tweeted apple is open to
1:11 pm
everyone. he said we are deeply disappointed in indiana's new law. now the final four is next week in indianapolis. and now many indiana business owners are very concerned about what the impact of this law will have on the economy there and on their bottom line. eric? >> well thanks so much. arthel? let's be honest here. the presidency of the united states is not some crown to be passed between two families. it is an awesome and sacred trust that to be earned -- >> former maryland governor martin o'mally jabbing hillary clinton and jebb bush insisting the nation new new lim running forward. he is considering a 2016 run. hillary clinton of course leading the pack of candidates who democrats would consider vogting for. vice president joe biden, joe
1:12 pm
warren and bernie sanders round out the top four. we have a senior correspondent from the washington examiners. is there something more to read between the lines offo mally's comments other than the fact that he might want to run himself? >> other than that there is something to the fact that more than 350 people, a bush and a clinton are all we can come up with. i think americans are going to take a look at under other candidates. on the democrat side there isn't another candidate. o mally is a two term governor and can make a credible case. he hasn't shown any support within the party. if that changes, that will be something to talk about. for now, it's clinton. >> clinton, she says give them something to talk about. let's pull up a sound byte from fox news sunday. >> what are the chances that you are going to run for president? >> very high.
1:13 pm
>> you are a former business woman. give me a number. >> higher than 90%. >> higher than 90%. let's go on this. when carly fiorina throws in her hat into the gop ring how would that change the game? >> well i don't think it's going to change the game much. she is not a top tier candidate. and i don't expect her to be. there are a couple interesting things. one she is very adept at talking about social issues in a way that i think can be appealing to voters who may not be pro life the way she is and at least won't repel them. i think her interview with bret baier a couple of weeks ago she showed her potency there. and i think every republican running could do well to look at that tape and see how she talked about abortion. she can go after hillary clinton in a way men cannot, she can go
1:14 pm
after her hard. i think she will end up not being a candidate because it has moved past her by this time next year or later. she is still an important surrogate for whoever the republican nominee is. >> you were reading my thoughts here regarding that, as a female she could attack hillary clinton with less backlash. but chris wallace also asked, carly f you were not to be number one on the ticket, would you consider number two in. >> carly says you can ask me that question if you ask all the other candidates. i ask you would you think that carly fiorina could make a good number two? >> i don't know if it would be good for the republican ticket to have a essentially a political novice as a number two and somebody with a business background that could be mined pretty heavily by democraticon researchers. but never say never.
1:15 pm
however, i just think the field is so deep, you have some fresh faced senators, some hispanics that are running on the republican side and i think you could do a lot with the number two if they are not the number one. carly fiorina has done better than people expected and set herself apart so far in the shadow primary. >> we have a new cbs poll, i'll flash it up there. ted cruz shows the most gloet up from 22% last month. now 37%. and then you have cruz running neck to neck with scott walker at 35%. jebb bush the most popular republican candidate. and mike hucka becomes in at 42%. and hillary remains popular amongst the democrats with 81% of their support at this juncture. before we go, what's your analysis of that poll? >> the poll shows name id popularity. people know who bush is huckaby. i think that everybody who runs is going to have their pop in
1:16 pm
these polls. tez ted cruz just announced and all of a sudden he has a lot of growth. what struck me as important is of all the issues that republican primary voters say they don't want flexibility on from their candidates it's isis, how you deal with the rise of the islamic state. that tells you that at this point it is a foreign policy election. i think the candidate most fluid on the foreign policy -- >> who is that on the gop side? >> probably the most fluent and hawkish is mark, the florida senator. i think he has upside. ted cruz hags shown hawkishness. jebb bush as well. and some of the others. scott walker. i think the key is what do people really want to see? it's more than fiscal issues and immigration. it's important polilicy and international security. >> thank you. arthel, gruesome details are emerging today from the building
1:17 pm
explosion in downtown manhattan. emergency crews now pulled out a body from the rubble of that blast that leveled three buildings earlier this week. >> the latest on a scary crash landsing in canada that left this plane here with its nose completely torn off. find out how the passengers are doing. plus, the new heart breaking exodus in the middle east. you know, with isis forcing ancient communities to flee their homelands under the left the execution. coming up we'll talk to one man who is trying to save them. he is the founder of one organization helping christians and other religious minorities against the threat of prosecution and the radical islamic terror.

champion organization providing housing for thousands of refugees from syria. sir, thank you for joining us. i have to tell you, 4 million refugees, the humanitarian crisis there is so overwhelming, do you see similarities with the extermination of the jews and with the in addition nazis? >> >> i see incredible similarities. they are -- the world is sitting on the sideline thinking this is going to go away. it's not going to go away. i've been watching for four years now and it's just getting worse. >> and what have you been doing? >> well, i wanted to buy homes in bulgaria but the bulgarian citizens didn't want refugees in so i ended up buying two hotels and we support the largest camp, and we try and get as many christians as we can out of syria and iraq. i'm -- and also muslims and drew
1:23 pm
i had. and we pay to support them and we have moved some of them into germany. i'm here in england to talk about high level officials to try to move some here into england. but it's hard. >> we saw this during the nazi time. i mean, what would happen to those people that you are helping now if you weren't there and doing this? >> they would be dead. they would be kill know when i first start talking about isis four years ago, no one knew how to spell it, isis has been around for a long time and they just busted 40 or 50 terrorists in bulgaria. i was there yesterday -- in bulgaria last week. they are everywhere. and it's going to get worse. and we have to start really thinking this for our futures because it's going to happen in the states. oats' going to happen in canada and -- it's happening everywhere. >> do we see the philosophy of the rads call islamic terrorism spreading. we've had it here in the united states in multiple attacks, not just 9/11 but going back 25
1:24 pm
years. you say you warned about it. how can we stop it? how the world fight against the growing anilistic philosophy. >> we are doing a lot. we have to group together. because governments are moving too slowly. they are moving much too slowly. every individual has to do something. it's also really sad that this is happening to christians. it's happening to bruds, but it's happening to christians. and i'm jewish, and i think i have to give back. why don't more people do it? >> you talk about the governments moving slowly. the washington post says we have accepted only 546 refugees in the past four years. the guardian says 104 people from syria. what should the u.s. government do? how can we help? >> well, let me tell you what we're doing, eric. we have enter pole.
1:25 pm
we have the bulgarian security. we have the unchr. we have the pedigree on these people. there is no risk for the ones who clear through bulgaria. why is the country having a hard time accepting them. we are paying for their flights, paying to get them there. the only countries that have come forward, germany and greece. i was in canada recently and they started to move and they took two steps backward. i don't have the answer. i just wish that some country would decide to open their doors on people who are -- they are educated. we have security clearance on them. they ran away because they were going to be killed. let's face it. they would die. some of the tenants that we have in my hotels lost their fathers. one of the families had a videotape of isis grabbing them offering him to either convert
1:26 pm

three buildings in lower manhattan. there is no id yet on the victims but crews have been searching for two men who have been missing since the explosion. the faa is investigating what caused a small plane crash in southeastern pennsylvania that killed two people. emergency officials say the two victims were the only ones on board when the plane went down this afternoon. and today is palm sunday. pope francis opened the holy week with a mass in st. peter's square. crowds also gathering at the church of the holy seplicre in jerusalem. the tragic crash of german wings flight 9525 reigniting the debate on whether airlines should start putting cameras in the cockpit. brian yennis has more from the new york city newsroom. >> reporter: many pilots are against the cameras. they see them as an invasion of privacy. imagine an employer recording everything you say and do at your revving. they also argue video recordings
1:32 pm
could be made public or leak on line after an accident. pilots say current voice and data recorders that closely monitor all audio and data are sufficient. >> you have a recording of everything the airplane is doing, every single switch that's thrown, every change in altitude or heading or engines or whatever else, or flaps. what ese do you need to feel comfortable. >> the use of video cameras was first proposed in 2000 by the national transportation safety board arguing cameras provide critical visual information like during an emergency, were both pilots in the cockpit, did smoke from a fire fill up the cockpit? who was doing what when? >> we can actually see where the hands were, were the people were. sometimes they get out of their seats. sometimes we see a lever like a throttle pull back. we don't know if it was the captain or the first officer. >> proten opponents say privacy
1:33 pm
safeguards could protect pilots. still the airline pilots association says the cost of adding cameras is not worth it. resources should be focused on enhancing current systems to record more data of a higher quality as opposed to video images which are subject to misinterruption and may in fact lead investigators away from accurate conclusions. the federal aviation administration by the way has said there is not enough compelling evidence to mandate cameras in the cockpits. >> thanks a lot. brian. >> arthel n the wake of this week's tragic events the father of one of those crash victims is calling on airlines to focus more on the well-being of their pilots. this amid the suspicions of course that that copilot that potentially crashed that airline, e an degree yas lubitz had a mental illness. wouldl this tragedily to
1:34 pm
reformed to make air travel server. we have the president of integrated aviation solutions. this is tragic. do you think it could have been a been avoided and b how does the faa or airlines try to prevent this from the future? >> eric i think you raise an interesting point. in the current state we are working in a state of complyians, employees doing what they are supposed to do. and what you don't have -- you don't have a safeguard if there is a rogue employee out there. so this happens pretty infrequently but it has happened in the past. we all know about egyptian air on october 23rd in 2001 he nosed the airbus over and crashed into the atlantic. so that has happened before. it's very, very tough to monitor people and prevent that. and that would lend an argument to having cameras in the cockpit as well. >> how about other types of
1:35 pm
programs? for example, there are issues with crews. you have regional crews, and there are reports that lubitz' girlfriend broke up with him. two, he said he would make his name associated with something horrible like this. and three he was frustrated. fearing he would lose his eyesight and that means he wouldn't move up in the chain of command from the airbus to the big lufthansa 747. >> i read a little bit about the eye problem. that doesn't make sense to me. that would wipe you out for everything. on the mental illness side clearly that's going to be aic big factor if that person was to continue on and fly as a career or not. this happens, and people do try to mask that. you get a -- if you are a first officer you get one physical a year. if you are a captain, you get two. and as far as your mental
1:36 pm
well-being, that's checked when you get hired by the company you are flying with. and also when you get your acp or commercial pilot's rating. they are going to look if you are of sound mind. again, that's very subjective. and you are really not going through a battery of tests with psychiatrists when you go in for that license. so this is a place that i would say in the future is going to go to be tightened up. >> you talk about tightening up. we had that after 2009, the koegan airlines crash, the propeller turbine prop plane crashed. turns out that the copilot of that flight she commuted overnight from the west coast, apparently slept on the couch. i mean, are we taking care of our region ail airline folks well enough? there are new rules on fatigue. that has come into play to make it safetory fly here? >> you know, that's another interesting point. we've seen that in the medical community with interns and they
1:37 pm
are working these long hours and they are making critical care decisions. well, that also happens in the commuters where people, they don't necessarily have to be dome sild where they are flying out of. so a lot of times you are commuting staying in a hotel room, and then flying the next day, or deadheading, if you will, on a plane before a flight. so this is an area that has been well-known to the faa. and they have been trying to take steps to mid-mitigate that risk. >> do you think they have done enough? i mean they've changed some of the rules of the flying time. that 15-hour rule. >> that's correct. and they are actively trying that because fatigue from a human factor standpoint is a large -- is a large factor on when you start making appreciable errors that can result in an accident and or incident. >> certainly this horrible incident has shown new light on the mental well-being and the well-being of our pilots you want them to be safe you want them to be okay of course
1:38 pm
because we are rite riding in the back. went christianen is thank you for joining us today. new credit card debt is in the u.s. is rising to alarming rates. americans racking up new debt even with the great recession still fresh in our memories. so if you have been hitting the plastic hard, how do you dig yourself out of that hole? that's next. i'd rather do anything else than sit at a dealership. it's a lot of haggling and it takes so long. craig's experience is completely different than mine. yeah. yes, mike has used truecar.
1:39 pm
at truecar, we'll show you how much others paid for the car you want and how much you should. because i used truecar there was no haggling about the price. they treated me so well, and it was just such a quick, easy experience. get your car, and get back to the life you love. welcome to the future of car-buying. test. test. test. test.
1:42 pm
credit card debt is on the rise once again. a recent report from industry observer card hub found americans ended 2014 with more than $57 billion in new debt. and this year is expected to go eve higher. now the numbers are similar to what we saw back in 20208 just before the number of people unable to pay their bills skyrocketed. joining us now is brenda buttner, senior business
1:43 pm
correspondent and anchor of bulls and bears. these are alarming numbers. break it down. >> you think back on the dark davis 2008, you would think they would be seared in our memory. but people are forgetting them. we've had six consecutive quarters of year over year increases in credit card debt. the average american household has $7100 in credit card debt. card hub, who did the study says that $8300 is the tipping point and when you may start to go delinquent. people are out there, and they are spending but with credit cards. >> so if you say the average household carries a balance of $7100. so what does that mean in terms of, you know monthly payments? so basically, if your monthly payment -- i think what's what it registers. if your credit card minimum payment is $300, $200, is that when it's okay or is that when
1:44 pm
it's bad? >> it's hard to know because credit cards are owe different and people have so many different ones and they can go up to like 17%. so you kind of know that you are at the danger zone if you are starting to just pay the minimum. if you are only paying the minimum you are just -- you are not even paying all the interest. >> right. >> and then if you are using your credit card for small purchases. if you are noticing that, you are just pulling it out at starbucks or whatever. and finally, if you go up to the max on one credit card and you've reeched for another bit of plastic. i mean they -- credit card companies love to hands it to you. but that really shows that you may -- you may be close to being delinquent. >> how do you get out of that kind of downward spiral, though? do you take on a second job, apart from the offersbvious which is
1:45 pm
not spending. >> a lot of it has been our economy. people haven't had the jobs or the money really to be able to carry their monthly expenses. so they are putting a lot of things, medical bills, on credit cards. i always say the number one thing you should do if you have credit card debt is pay -- is try to pay it off. i mean more than anything else, more than savings getting your emergency savings or whatever. because it's so punitive. i mean, if you -- you could be carrying this credit card for years and years and years and never be paying down any of the principal. >> and if you do something for fun, like buy a dress you were dying to have, you are paying for that dress 12 times over by the time you pay off that card. and you mention this you say pay off the credit cards. let's say someone out there is getting a good sized -- sizable refund. should they put that in the savings account the refund, tax refunds i'm talking about. or should they pay off or pay down the credit card?
1:46 pm
>> that's a great question. think about if you put something into a savings account right now. you basically have zero percent interest. that's not to say you shouldn't save. but the credit card if you pay down that, you are going to be saving so much on those interest payments. you are essentially just handing money over to the credit card companies by wracking up credit card debt. >> you do have to have a little bit of a balance on the credit card to keep your credit card. >> if you pay it down every month you still have great credit. >> okay. even if you pay it down. >> absolutely. >> they usually tell you to keep a little bit of it. >> they like you to have a credit card and be sending something on it. if you pay it down, you are okay. >> pay it down, brenda buttner. you can catch brenda on bulls and bears every saturday morning at 1:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. >> great advice. well it's been an amazing snapshot of american history.
