herbs between the skin of the turkey and meat. wraps it in cheese cloth and soaks it in madeira and butter. >> thank you very much. see you back here tomorrow, everybody. bill: fox news alert. now there are three. >> that is why tonight grounded by the lessons of our history but inspired by our future, i announce my candidacy for president of the united states. bill: marco rubio joins the race for the white house. i'm bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum.

marco rubio kicking off his campaign at the historic freedom tower in miami. invoking the american dream and telling his supporters he believes it's time for a fresh start. >> just yesterday a leader from yesterday [booing] began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday. yesterday is over. [cheers and applause] and we are never going back. bill: ed henry is in iowa waiting own the van and clinton.

carl let's start with you. there was some criticism of hillary clinton for being candidates of yesterday. how did you hear that in florida? >> we have heard it all over the country from a lot of candidate and from a lot of voters. it wasn't just the idea the names clinton and bush. remember the bush name goes back into the 90s with some presidential candidacies. that was have much part of what the american dream component of marco rubio's speech and message is about. he the son of a bartender and maid cuban immigrants, that he could rise and contend for the u.s. presidency. >> my candidacy may seem improbable from someone watching

from abroad. in many countries the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and powerful. but i live in an exception stall country where even the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams. i live in an exceptional country where the son after bartender and maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege. >> we heard that a lot. ted cruz, scott walker making reference to the fact that there have been bush and clinton presidents and it's time for a new name in 2. >> 16. he's 43 years old and jeb bush 67. the republican majority in house

dushed it amnesty. he backed away from that. of late his position position is thrabl path toll legal status if people go back home to avoid double tam necessary city but last night on hannity he suggestede might be willing to back away from that if it faces too much opposition. >> after that they would be allowed for perm nanltsd residency -- permanent residency like everyone else. >> reporter: mr. rubio very much has gotten in line with the immigration views of many candidates. the liabilities are supposed youth and inexperience and that immigration position. martha: hillary clinton is

making her way to iowa where they will meet with voters today. yesterday the former secretary of state stopped at chipotle for lunch. where she was reportedly able to order her lunch without being noticed. what does she hope to accomplish until iowa then we'll talk about the missing van. >> reporter: the community college behind knee, she is saying i'm going to talk in the small towns and make this about you, the voters. why is she doing that? she got tripped up in 2007 and 2008. didn't do enough of these small

early events. but i think she wants to talk about being a champion of the middle class. she decided to run not this past weekend when she announced but over the christmas holiday when she was at a villa in the dominican rum with the widow of oscar de la renta. remember what happened in the book tour. she road tested this message about the middle class then had to walk back the idea of being flat broke when she left the white house. martha: she has memories of coming in third in iowa. perhaps this grass roots effort is a new tactic if nothing else. what about this trip? we heard about the van she yorked about the scooby doo van. there would be lots ofismages of

all of it. what's going on? >> reporter: i suspect in her defense they said she is trying to be is cognito and not make a spectacle. the photo we got from chipolte. somebody called chipolte and said hillary clinton is there. we have just seenal couple morsels -- we have just seen a couple morsels. what we want to know is is she meeting with people. martha: why not just fly? >> reporter: from a security standpoint getting here. if she had take and private plane the criticism would have

been she is launching a case for the middle class and land in a corporate jet. bill: senator rubio cast himself as the leader for the next generations. rubio has a track record. he seems to be the underdog in every race but proves people wrong. why is that? >> people like him an has a biography. his ethnicity. his family's story of. everything about him speaks to something that resonates with americans. up by your intoot straps immigrants who make good in a land of opportunities. that's the favorite american stormy and has been for 300 years. bill: he talks about that generational message. how does that work for him. >> it's what he's got.

in politics it's always better to be ema sizes what you are than be pretending to be something that you are not. when hillary clinton tells you i'm middle class. i go to chipolte just like you i ride in a minivan just like you, that's not true. she does ride in private jets. she is trying to create an appearance. rubio's greatest advantage is what he's selling is himself. perhaps too young. perhaps he doesn't have enough experience for some in his party. he's turning the page from baby boom control of the white house and go on to generation x's term. bill: remember when mitt romney romney -- bowfed out l l -- bowed

out, talking about a new generation of leaders. >> reporter: jeb bush would not qualmify --would mott qualify for that list. a lot of people are sending money rubio's way. that wedge of the republican establishment thinks youth and diversity is the right thing for a party that struggled without and diverse voters. martha: you would expect there would be lots of pictures. we saw one picture released outside of a barn.

bill: we are west of chappaqua. nothing yet. 10 minutes past the hour. martha: the terror group al-shabaab launching a deadly attack on government offices in somalia. there is no to end this violence. details on what they are doing moments away. bill: watch this indy car there. we'll show what you happens next. martha: secretary of state john kerry is meeting with democrats trying to convince him their deal is a good one and get them not to stein with the corker-menendez deal to give them more oversight as russia is sending anti-aircraft missiles

to iran because they think negotiations are done, no need to have a ban. >> actually sharked knee, i thought that was the headline to come out of the whole thing. on takes up the challenge it's never been done before simply becomes consider it solved. emerson. is it our insightful strategies that make edward jones one of the country's biggest financial services firms? or 13,000 financial advisors who say thank you? it's why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way.

martha: the terror group al-shabaab striking again in somalia.

gunfire can still be heard in the distance. we are told at least 10 people have been killed in this attack. there are reports of hostages being taken. we are told the complex is secured at this point. this attack comes days after al-shabaab launched that brutal attack in kenya that killed 147 people. bill: later the senate foreign relations committee will take up a bill dictating how much congress has to say in that iran deal. ambassador bolton, good morning to you. senator corker says he doesn't think anyone has a firm grasp on the iran framework deal.

now, you imagine senator kerry going behind closed doors. how many questions these lawmakers must have for him about the framework for the deal. what's tonight what's not what's missing. the great potential has he to be unable to answer these questions. where does that leave the administration in negotiating power? >> the number of public statements by the leadership in iran and by the administration touting the framework have shown there are irreconcilable differences. after not a few intense nights of negotiations,rs of negotiations iran hasn't convinced anybody it has a peaceful nuclear program. even if you take the deal being precisely what the white house announced from switzerland at the beginning of the month that's a deal that suits iran

just fine. if forced to the wall and they accepted it, they would still be on the path to nuclear weapons. bill: it appears the administration is saying one thing and the ayatollah is saying another. this disconnect here really must be a cause for concern for keeping congress at bay which is what the president wants. right? >> i think he's worried the iranians will use congressional action to ask for more concessions. or he could be worried the deal is so fragile the whole thing will fall apart. but the president's concessions and the fear for many in congress and around the united states that indeed the deal will get better for iran. bill: the russians are selling surface-to-air missiles.

apparently this came up with john kerry and a number of republicans yesterday. adam kissinger describes senator kerry's reaction when asked about this item. if at some point you would want to take out their nuclear system. here is how adam kiss a -- adam kin kinzinger described his reaction. >> he says you have to understand it from their perspective. he basically said we object to it but at the same time you have to understand the iranian perspective. it shocked me. bill: that's a republican. maybe you expect that answer. kinzinger has been on our program and said similar thing

the past few month. but we don't know how democrats are reacting. >> let's be clear of what the russians may now sell does. it would provide iran with protect against airstrikes from its nuclear program against anything but stealth weapons. but the s-300 would not prevent the united states from doing it. not that i expect anything like that from obama. but the s-300 could not stop the united states. so from our point of view it make it somewhat more difficult. but it's not the game changer that it is for israel. bill: they are selling it hard. jewish leaders on capitol hill

today. martha: the leading in the lawmaker on this bill will join us. bob corker will be our guest at 10:00 a.m. in the meantime, super bowl-winning quarterback tom brady threw out the fir pitch during the red sox home opener. plus this ... bill: you are cruising comfortably at 30,000 feet and you hear a loud banging noise and screaming from under the plane. why this flight had to turn around. >> was scary and unsafe. what if it could have been a terrorist.

ment expertise to work for you. mfs. there is no expertise without collaboration.

bill: what was called the crime of the century committed april 14 1865. the president died the next day. booth escaped the scene evaded capture for nearly two weeks before authorities tracked him down in virginia where he was shot and killed. martha: when an alaska airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after an airport worker fell asleep inside the cargo hold. listen to this video from inside the plane when they realized something was going on.

it's hard to hear. i guess you could hear them rumbling down there. it's the banging on the floor people noticed in the first class passenger area. the plane returned to seattle. the tarmac worker was found inside. this is bizarre. william, what's the deal? >> reporter: he was on our airport tarmac with all the jet engines. here is some video of the embarrassed baggage worker who had to answer for this this screwup.

the plane was in the air 14 minutes when passengers and flight attendants heard banging. they told the pilot and they head back to seattle. an employee exit a forward cargo hold and mentioned to first responders that he was taking a nap. report are's part of a company that contracts with alaska air to handle the cargo. martha: how did the passengers react. they must have been frightens that someone scary was in there that could have done harm. bill: they are look at procedures and protocols.

this flight had 170 passengers aboard. six crew. cell phone video from the cabin. there were two air marshalls banging on the floor to try to communicate with this guy. he was in a pressure present -- pressurized area. >> it's scary and unsafe. >> it scares you about the procedured. >> reporter: our sleepy coworker did pass a drug test and they arrived in los angeles. martha: note to self. if you are going to fall asleep in the passenger compartment

rubio joining ted cruz and rand paul in the race for the republican nomination and hillary clinton is work her way across iowa in the van. temperature karl rove is here. good morning. good to have you with us. martha: what did you think of marco rubio and how good are his chances of break through this field? >> if he were a stock we would be value purchasers. he's underrated. he showed yesterday is a lot of passion. what is not clear to a lot of people. in 2013 and early 2014 he made a series of 7 speeches chief voted to policy. they showed a lot of work, a lot of thought a lot of preparation. the reason it many important is it's evidence he has been thinking about this for a while and preparing himself. you can't get repaired in the

middle of a contest. you have got to get prepared before it. he has a vision he's going to roll out the next 7 or 8 months. and my sufficient suspicion is we'll see shim outperforming people's expectations today. yesterday was a strong start and we'll see how well it continues. sooner or later the big money will have to make some big decisions here. >> there are four or five primaries underway right now. people will be competing for money and he will have some serious people backing him. and miami car dealer is going to put $10 million in. he will have a substantial base of support. but the money primary willprobably be led by jeb bush. we'll have a message primary.

this will be more important than the money primary. if you have got a money primary and a bad message that doesn't work. messages can matter a lot. organization will matter and we'll have to see how the candidate handles themselves or herself in the campaign. we are about to get a very crowded primary. if you piece together the intel ben carson looks like he will announce on the 4th of may. we have carlie if i relationshippa signaling early may. huck key christie -- we are about to get a complicated and field here. it could be 14 or 15 people get into the race. martha: you have got bush and

walker playing the end game. good strategy? bad strategy? >> they don't need to rush. both of them are working harold in the pre-candidate phase to build the organization and perfect their performance. was hillary clinton a candidate before sunday? yes. was sunday a phoney, fake event? yes, it i. in reality these people have been candidate in some way shape or form for month. there is a legal formality of declaring they will get to soon. >> martha: the president was asked if he would endorse hillary clinton. >> it many early for endorsement since she just announced yesterday. she is talented, tenacious was

a great secretary of state she is a friend of mine and i think she would be an excellent president. martha: what do you make of that. >> he has joe biden who shares an office with him so he won't be screaming from the tree that he's for her. but does she want him to be for her? obama's foreign policy approval is 38 approve 51 disapprove. it's worse in the battleground states. it's hard to win the third term of a policy and an obama endorsement will help the republicans make the arm it's a third term. she'll do everything she can to divorce herself. martha: sometime it work for people and sometimes it doesn't.

karl, thank you so much. we'll see you next time. bill: the two biggest names in the race have some analysts saying a hillary clinton-jeb bush rematch is inevitable. it really wouldn't be a rematch. what does history say about that? >> reporter: it would be a clinton-bush rematch. the idea of a candidate being inevitable isn't a common bun with you history gives us plenty of examples. go back to 1860 when william seward was said to be a shoo-in to be the candidate. it almost happened to walter mondale in 1984. he almost lost to gary hart.

hart then became the inevitable candidate. hart's rise was more colorful than most inevitable candidate. how do some these inevitable candidate end up as road kill? >> because an inure gent candidate comes along -- an insurgent candidate comes along to appeal to voter that someone is taking them for granted that they don't want to see the inevitable candidate win. >> reporter: her air of inevitability is greater this time. >> i think it's bad strategy to be perceived as inevitable.

i think that was the flaw of the 2008 campaign. >> reporter: joe trippi ran iowa for mondale. he won iowa but lost the next three contests to gary hart and didn't put gary hart away until june of that year. have much like what happened in 2008. martha: you would think the skill set possessed by tom brady, he would be the perfect guy to throw out the first pitch. he threw it, couldn't find the plate which is a big deal to people who do these things. got a big laugh out of it himself. showing humility.

it's proof the first pitch isn't always as easy as it looks. bill had no problem doing it at the mets game. i heard you say for men it's a huge ego thing. if you can't throw it across the plate, it's a huge embarrassment. i did it again and it was bam. fair and balanced baby. it was right down the middle. martha: we have video coming up later. stand by. 18 minutes before the hour. we have a fox news alert. there is a meeting at the white house. president obama with the iraqi prime minister. why this meeting is so critical in the fight against isis terrorists. heart stopping video of a pit worker trying to get out of the way. we'll show you what happens

fox news alert. the iraqi prime minister meeting with the iraqi prime minister. chairman of the institute for the study of war and a fox us in military analyst. good morning to you. we saw bret's interview. what are we doing and are we doing enough to help the leader in iraq? >> this meeting is important. when leaders of countries get together those are critical meetings. particularly in my mind because president obama has a tendency to talk more to the leaders in middle east than his predecessors. here we have a new leader in iraq. i think what the body wants from him is to accelerate the sales. he's been waiting for apache

helicopters. he's want moard advice -- he has wanted more advisors on the ground. he wants to include the sunni tribes in the political process. iraq has been a a choke point not getting equipment to the peshmerga and the kurd. they have to go through the iraq military to get in and they never received all the equipment. >> they are going back and forth dictating a lot of times when we hit airstrikes and when we do not. bret asked king abdullah what is happening in the region. what he suggests is there is not a single strategy. this is what he said about his own country. >> we are the only arab country operateing are alongside the iraqis in iraq, alongside the coalition forces.

as the iraqis and the coalition increase their tempo for the next phase of operations inside of iraq, so will jordan increase its tempo. bill: there might be one silver lining in that. and that might be these countries are now starting to do something about it. >> that's true. king abdullah has been direct and honest and a close ally of the united states. the arab nation and region that comes closest to a democracy. but you can sense in that interview his frustration. when he said u.s. policy in the middle east became a wake-up call to him. what he's talking about is our disengagement from the middle east in iraq and not helping in syria and not responding immediately to the isis invasion while iran did that. so there is a long history of

our non-involvement or minimal involvement but not sufficiently decisive. so as a result of that, he knows the situation has gotten worse because of those decisions but he also has to accept up with others to start to make a difference. bill: thank you general. jack keane in washington today. martha: today marks a year since the nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidkidnapped and take from hire school and home inning in *. in -- their home in nigeria. it posted a huge social media campaign. where are our girls? bill: you will not believe what contracts found under this home.

martha: congress precious ahead with a plan to permanently patch a problem with medicare known as the doc fix. cost could run into the hundreds of billions of dollars. so there is a question of who will pay for it. >> the bipartisan longer term medicare doc fix is currently in the united states senate. we expect democrats and

republicans will talk about this when they meet later today. here is part of the pitch in the house. >> the bill before us today will once and for all repeal and replace the flawed medicare payment system. it will move away from the volume-based care to care based on quality value and accountability. everyone knows we need to reform medicare to save it. >> reporter: that was kevin mccarthy and not fred upton. but we expect to hear from senator mitch mcconnell in minutes when the senate gastles in. >> what will it cost? >> $140 million in two years. let's take a look at some of the numbers. if you make less than $15,000 your cost is estimated to be

$4.33. if you earn between $50,000 and 99,000 it costs $512.74. if you make 100,000 or more your share will be $13,722. it's not no monopoly money it's your money. martha: so fox news has a special calculator to figure out what this will cost you the next couple years. you can plug your salary and find out how much you get to pay for the doc fix. bill: reports isis controls air

martha: president obama's controversial deal with iran face as critical test today on capitol hill. a key vote is coming up as republican senators will push to have a say in whether or not this deal goes forward. welcome, everybody. brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum. bill: i'm bill hemmer. the senate foreign relations committee will finalize a bill that will do a couple of things. it will give a 60-day delay before the white house is able to approve any deal with iran. it also may pave the way to get a veto-proof majority. the president's national security team on capitol hill, lawmakers want any final approval for any agreement with

iran. secretary of state john kerry says the talks have a long way to go before they reach a final deal. >> we hope the congress will listen and ask the questions it wants and give the space and time to complete a very difficult task that has high-stakes for our country. it involves major national security and major potential conflict versus peaceful resolution. bill: keep in mind now this is, they're selling this thing hard. leaders with the white house last night and secretary kerry has two days on the hill to meet with republicans and democrats in the house and senate separate. you can imagine behind closed doors how many queries they have about what is nailed down and what is still elusive. martha: it's a tough deal to convince people on because there are some different versions what is even in the framework which is not really written down anywhere. this is verbal agreement they got he over the course of discussions. we'll see. we'll talk to bob corker right

now. we'll go back to bob corker in a moment. first there is this. at least 10 people are dead after a terrorist attack that happened in somalia. authorities say al-shabaab gunmen storm ad building in mogadishu, ramming a car loaded with explosives through the front gate. seven attackers were killed. this comes two weeks after gunmen claiming to be from al-shabaab, attack ad college campus in kenya. a brutal massacre. 140 people were dead in the attack. most of them were killed for being christian. bill: fox news alert. growing concerns isis made headway in libya. counterterrorism officials say they are seizing terror camps. isis has control of several private airstrips. that isis could attack from the sky. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in washington. what are we learning about all that today, catherine?

>> reporter: bill isis is expanding foot rent from north africa with u.s. and libyan officials confirming more than a dozen training sites in libya along with execution of 21 egyptian christians this year, isis in libya is blamed for 19 other plots with u.s. officials acknowledging that the group wants to use libya as a springboard for attacks on neighboring countries and europe. most significant, they say isis taken control of a half dozen private airstrips in libya along the eastern mediterranean coasts. all are connected to oil refineries near this one capitol of tripoli. u.s. officials do not dispute the claim with regional analysts emphasizingng it is more evidence of the group's reach. >> well isis has been very adaptable and it is capacity to gain territory and resources and fighting force and shows that it is much more dangerous maybe 10 times more dangerous than al qaeda which is operating from

one limited area. >> libyan government official tells fox news they're concerned isis could use airstrips to launch attacks using small aircraft loaded with explosives. u.s. government officials say the concern is legitimate but at this time, they have no credible evidence of plotting to use aircraft. bill: labia looks like a mess. wasn't that supposed to be a major foreign policy victory for this administration, specifically hillary clinton catherine? >> reporter: toppling of the libyan dictator was hailed as mrs. clinton's significant foreign policy. they confirm the country is safe haven for ices is and other terror groups. isis claimed responsibility for these attacks, first on the south korean embassy sunday and moroccan embassy in capitol of tripoli. in a recent briefing a state department spokesman deflected questions whether the libyan people were better off today

than they were in 2011? >> we're deeply concerned about the threat from terrorist groups in libya including from isil-affiliated groups who expanded presence in libya because the absence of a strong united central government. >> reporter: for context the official figure is more than 22,000 foreign fighters in iraq and syria. but u.s. counterterrorism officials will concede privately the number is believed to be substantially higher now with the lion's share significantly coming from libya bill. bill: thank you. catherine herridge and all of that out of washington now. martha: as we said earlier secretary of state john kerry is on capitol hill. he is meeting with lawmakers today and yesterday to try to convince them of his side in the deal that he has negotiated with iran and senator republican senator bob corker is the chairman of the foreign relations committee and has worked very hard with senator menendez on a deal that would allow congress to have some real oversight what is going on between the white house and iran. senator corker, great to have you back on the program.

thank you so much for being here today. >> martha thanks for having me. martha: good to see you senator, secretary of state kerry really has his work cut out for him because there is no doubt there will be a lot of very big questions for him as he goes into these closed-door meetings. what are you hearing how that is going for him? >> i have no idea. i got some comments relative to tone and that kind of thing but just in a few minutes 27 minutes from now we'll be sitting down and all of us in a closed chamber, classified room, listening to what he has to say. but, martha, all of this back and forth speaks to the fact that the american people need their elected representatives in the senate and the house to go through this deal with a fine-tooth comb and to be able to weigh in on whether they believe that it will pass the test of time. and so today, in our committee after this presentation by kerrey, we have a vote in our committee that says, do you believe that the president ought to be able to go directly to the u.n. security council and just implement this, without coming

to congress, or do you believe this needs to come to congress it needs to be transparent. we need to know it is accountable and enforceable before he is able to lift those sanctions, martha, that we in congress put in place that has brought iran to the table. hopefully we'll be successful today at 2:15. martha: the white house has been pretty clear they don't like what is in the corker-menendez bill. they feel it doesn't give them enough leverage or protection to have the agreement they want to get forward here. so you're doing something that a lot of americans believe doesn't happen enough on the hill. you have been trying to work a compromise with democrats and to pull the democrats over to your side to say look, we need to have some say in this matter. so it looks like it will pass in your committee with no no problem. is that what you believe? >> martha around here, i don't think anyone should ever count their chickens before they hatch but we have had good and productive meetings. there are a lot of questions moving towards the markup. i do hope and think we are going

to be successful. the proof is in the pudding today in our committee hearing. martha: chris cans has said he things the president will veto whatever happens in terms of your side on legislation. do you have a veto-proof majority to override that, do you think. >> martha, you have to take one step at a time. that is why it is so important we have a strong committee vote today to signal to the rest of the senate this is broadly supported. to be able to be in a position where we can answer your questions and every americans questions about this. so we'll see. i do think if we can achieve a strong committee vote today we are on our way to a veto-proof majority. but again first things first. martha: two things i want to ask you about in terms of this deal. so everybody at home, you talk about the people's perception of this across america. what they're see something the ayatollah khamenei stand up and call the united states, devilish duplicitous. saying we're the ones the

iranian people really have to watch out for in this deal. >> yeah. martha: he says he wants a deal that has immediate lifting of sanctions and no promise there will be any right to inspect their facilities. so what version of the deal is john kerry talking about today? >> martha that is kind of the problem, right? we have what's called a political agreement. it is really the negotiation before the negotiation. the details are going to be in a written document over the next 80 days. much of that, martha, the public will never see. part of classified annexes again they're classified. you're not able to see them. others are not able to see them. that is why we're doing this afternoon in our committee is so important. again there is nothing in writing in present. there are iranians saying there are people they don't have to change a thing. sanctions will be relieved. obviously we're being told something different. again that is why it is so important congress plays it rightful role in this, to make sure that we know what is really

happening in this transaction, including all the classified documents on behalf of the american people. martha: i know that you have agreed to some concessions in what you wanted in order to bring democrats into this deal where they can feel comfortable. we talked to john bolton before. i don't think the democrats on the hill are going to do this. they're not going to turn their back on the president on this deal. what do you think? >> i think that they will. i do. the and i'm, proud of the fact what we'll be voting on today, keeps absolutely intact the integrity of what we're trying to do. martha: all right. >> it has to be presented to us fully. it has to you lay before us and congressional sanctions condition not be lifted during that period of time. after that we stay involved. i know john bolton so so critical what happened in north korea. one of the things this bill does, is make sure that every 90 days, we're informed of any kind of a breaks in compliance. if there is something significant, we know in 10 days. so congress is able to act again

if iran violates this, which many people expect them to do. so this is a very strong piece of legislation. integrity of it has been kept intact. hopefully we'll move this through the committee strongly today. on your behalf, make sure whatever is negotiated is something that will stand the test of time or have the right to disapprove it. martha: senator corker, i hope you come back as this moves forward. we look forward to it, sir. >> thank you. bill: very interesting the comment about the vote from committee. as he said watch the final vote. that will give you an indication how strong this veto-proof majority may or may not be. it has been one year since hundreds of nigerian schoolkids were captured by terrorists t spark ad worldwide campaign to call for their release. what has happened? martha: alleged sex parties

funded by drug cartels. great right? bill: 2016 field is getting more crowded with two new contenders. we'll handicap the field with someone who might be running himself. mystery. >> i believe this country has always been defined by upward mobility and quality of opportunity and i feel we're losing it. we're losing it because we're capitalizing on the opportunities or confronting the challenges of this new era.

became sick on board. the celebrity infinity arrived out of mexico. about 100 people came down with the highly contagious norovirus. another ship, a royal caribbean boat is arriving later today with 116 em. people. they became sick from unknown cause. both are bringing in extra crews to clean and disinfect. >> great vacation, boy. to this now. as a silent protest in nigeria's capitol marks one year since boko haram terrorists kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls. you heard a lot bit at the time. dozens of the girls were able to initially escape but there are still more than 200 of them who are still missing. it sparked international outrage with the bring back our girls campaign that burned up social media. even first lady michelle obama tweeting this photo of herself

holding up the bring back our girls statement. a year later they're still missing. where is the campaign? where is the support? what is going on? why did we forget about those girls? alan colmes host of "the alan colmes show" and fox news contributor. mercedes schlapp, former advisor to president george w. bush. welcome to you both. this is the danger of what i call hashtag foreign policy everybody likes to jump on the bandwagon, send remarks around and make it feel like everybody really cares about this and wants something to be righted in this situation. it sort of goes away. all of those poor families have nothing, have no support from us or anyone else to bring back their daughters. alan. what are we doing here? >> i'm glad we're talking about it here. it is so important. i wouldn't just put aside hashtags. certainly accomplished something bringing attention to egypt. it brought attention to other parts of world but you have to keep it up.

you can't forget about it. there has to be world focus upon it. the united states, or first lady of united states by herself certainly isn't going to effect necessarily change. i would like to see resources go here in terms of what we're looking at on the screen now rather than fighting another war in iraq or going after isis. we debated whether that is true threat to the united states. for years there were trouble spots in the world, sudan that we ignored. i think it is important to keep our focus here and not give it up. martha: france led a campaign in chad. they pushed back boko haram successfully. >> that's right. martha: mercedes, we do a lot of thing around the world. we've been looking for joseph coneey with 200 special ops guys able available and nobody even knows about that. why didn't we do anything to help the girls? >> president is very good at marketings campaign. he did talk about this issue last year where he was saying we need to bring together the international community to help find these girls and stop this horrendous organization but we

have found little has been done. in fact, nigeria's former president was criticized president obama by saying that basically we weren't willing to sell weapons to them. the u.s. has cut off petroleum purchases to nigeria. and also, if you can recall, it was hillary clinton under her tenure that the state department didn't even put boko haram as a terrorist organization. so again i think it is minimalist approach that president obama pushes forward in his foreign policy, yes we have to help these girls but in fact when you look at it, look at it clearly, they have not been helping nigeria. martha: when you look what it meant to help these girls quote, sounds, like you can help them or not help them depending different cut circumstances around that. no. this is the about the spread of al qaeda and isis. this group pledged allegiance to isis alan. it talks about leadership in the world snuffing out the situations wherever we can. we have done little to do that. >> you can't blame barack obama

or michelle obama. martha: who do you blame? >> i don't know blame is issue. martha: who can do something about it, that is the real question. >> why did the president make his comments, alan? he made it very clear he wanted to do something to help these girls. in fact you look at what nigeria former president said, it was very clear he was basically saying u.s. has not done enough. they are not willing to sell weapons to nigeria. on the other hand they sold weapons to uganda to help joseph cone any. >> we shouldn't sell weapons anywhere. shouldn't have policy weapons going over the world. that should not be an issue. >> how do you stop -- martha: let alan finish his thought. >> this is being used as a broadside to go after obama. you used it to take a shot at hillary clinton. this is being used by your side, political purposes when for years we've ignored all kinds of trouble spots in the world whether it is sudan or whether it was kurds during the reagan administration we've done nothing about.

don't single out this president as if we've always done the right thing. very haven't and we -- we haven't and we should. martha: we heard from king abdullah, said basically the same thing. leadership from the united states in order to follow through on some these issues. we can't willy-nilly bring these things up, gee it would be great if we could do something about it but we just can't. finds us in a very, very interesting spot in history. thank you very much. alan mercedes, good to see you both. bill: 20 one minutes past the hour, is the u.s. economy sliding backwards? new numbers sounding alarm. varney tackles that. how do you get a 150-pound mountain lion out of a crawl space in your home? that is a good question. ♪ ♪ help join a continent with nearly

martha: iraq's prime minister in the white house for a meeting with president obama today. the prime minister making his first visit to the oval office since his election last fall. he says coalition airstrikes are helping to roll back isis but he believes iraq needs more to help finally defeat them including drones and other military -- [inaudible]. bill: new concerns the economy is weakening as the deficit widens. the u.s. budget deficit $439 billion for the first half of the fiscal year. that is six months. up 6% from the year before. to explain what all that means stuart varney from the fox business network is here on all this. good morning to you sir. >> good morning, bill. bill: are you seeing numbers and indicators that suggest the economy is slowing down, yes or no? >> yes, we are. in the fall of last year, 5% growth. the winter 2% growth. in about 10 days we get the

results of how fast is the economy growing in the first part of this year. a lot of people are saying it didn't grow at all. we're down to zero. down to dead flat. that is five, two zero. that is economy that is slowing. bill: what's the drag? >> the drag is all kinds of things. it is obama-nomics. it is obama care. it is high taxes. it is regulation. it's call kinds of things that are conspiring to together to give us a zero rate of growth. now the president will blame the weather. he will blame all kinds of things. he will blame the dollar. he will blame foreign economies slowing down but the truth of it is we have had six years of very little growth and we're spiraling down from 2% to virtually zero. bill: march unemployment, 5.5%, there abouts. >> very few new jobs, very few. bill: that number is downright disappointing. real unemployment rate right around 11% still. >> right. now that is a slowing economy.

what does that do to the debt? you described the deficit in the intro here, $439 billion in six months. that deficit is getting bigger. the deficit is widening n a slowing economy it gets even worse. here you have reversal of the trend. we were slimming that deficit down a little bit. now we're expanding it again. by the time president obama leaves office in january of 2011 that debt will be in the region of $21 trillion. almost an exact doubling of the debt that he inherited when he started out at 10.6 trillion. bill: eight years. in 2009 this was a big story. 2012 i seem to remember it was a big story. >> yep. bill: it will likely be another big story in 2016. >> yes it will. bill: based on who you see entering this race, who is addressing this, the issue of debt? >> rand paul, marco rubio are addressing the issue of economic growth. therefore indirectly the debt. the democrats seem to be

stressing identity politics, not so much and inequality, which is not the same thing as addressing economic growth. so i would say at this point, my opinion would be, the republicans are addressing the issue of debt and growth. the democrats are not. they're stressing something else. bill: 21 trillion. >> 21 trillion. think of interest on that. that is $10 billion a week in interest. much of it flowing to foreign governments. china, japan, britain the netherlands. they will take a piece of this $10 billion a week in interest. can you afford that? bill: that is a big mountain to climb. 11:00 a.m. eastern time, fox business, stuart varney. thank you. martha? martha: as you have been outlining the debt keeps getting deeper and feds keep wasting money. how many agencies do you think we need in this country to regulate child car seats? how many do you think we need? take a guess how many we have? bill: where does the republican race stand now that marco rubio

has thrown his hat into the ring? we'll talk to former new york governor george pataki. he has ideas of his own. you will hear that next. >> before us is now the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of america but we can't do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. we must change the decisions we are making, by changing the people who are making them. [cheering] we all enter this world with a shout

martha: there are alarming new details in a very disturbing scandal that involves our federal drug agents. an investigation revealed that the agents for the dea attended sex parties with prostitutes but, get this, the prostitutes were hired by the drug cartels, the people that they're supposed to be busting. a hearing is now underway on all of this on capitol hill. doug mckelway is live in washington. doug some of the allegations find that the agents were engaged in inappropriate conduct with the very people they were supposed to be investigating.

pretty cozy relationship sounds like. >> reporter: unbelievable, martha. we'll be hearing more about this because the hearing just got underway. based upon a doj inspector general that talks about sexual misconduct allegations in the marshall's service and the fbi. most egregious case, a foreign officer in bogota, colombia, where dea agents were stationed arranged parties for local drug cartels for dea agents at their government-leased quarters over several years. the report goes on to say some dea agents participating in the parties denied it, the information in the case file suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with drug cartel funds. foreign officer also alleged that providing protection for dea agents and weapons and property during these parties. in his opening statement chairman jason chaffetz scolded head of dea for this behavior in her department. >> this went on and on and on,

multiple reports of sex parties, of loud parties, to the point that the landlord was actually complaining back to our government about out of control our own federal employees were serving overseas. >> reporter: there are also allegations that agents were provided money, gifts, even weapons from drug cartel members. the report goes on to say this high-risk behavior threatened to expose agents to coercion extortion and blackmail. agents had commute computers and smartphones and in government paid residence where prostitutes partied. no reports that any of those were compromised, martha. martha: just perfect. the whole thing. has anybody been penalized for all of this, doug so far? >> reporter: only most cursory ways. penalties from two-day suspension and 10-day suspension. one of the line agents was cleared. prostitution is considered part of local culture.

it is tolerated in certain tolerance zones. the report also found is common for prostitutes to be present at business meetings involving cartel members and foreign officers but that is not going to please these committee members, martha. martha: i think i saw this movie once. doug, thank you very much. >> reporter: okay. >> two more candidates making it official. florida senator marco rubio announcing just one day after hillary clinton announced that she is in. so as it stands, there is a four-person field. hillary clinton the only democrat and three republicans. marco rubio rand paul and ted cruz. will my next guest be the next entrant? george pataki former governor of new york. nice to see you. >> nice being on with you. bill: we have been talking about for a couple months now. are you any closer? >> i am closer. i'm headed to new hampshire tomorrow morning. i will be there the rest of the week. friday first in the country summit for candidates and potential candidates. i will participate in that. we'll see where it goes from here.

bill: you're not sure if you're in or out? >> i'm leaning towards in. what is interesting the three republicans, senators cruz rubio and paul, are all senators who operate under different election laws than those of us who are not federal officials. bill: what does that mean? >> that means they can't work to raise funds through a pac. they have to do it through their campaigns. easier for them to get in than other candidates. bill: is the issue for you then money at this point? >> one of the huge issues are the federal election laws. once you declare you have to operate under different laws. the federal candidates like the three senators already are. i'm not. none of the other republican potential candidates are either. bill: so but i heard you say you're leaning toward entering. >> i'm leaning towards. i look at the country, i look at the world. just this morning with russia lifting its ban on anti-aircraft weaponry to iran, shows how dangerous the situation is and we need good leadership in this country. bill: well, hillary clinton meanwhile is on a slow van to iowa and apparently she will be

later today is our understanding. what do you think so far about her candidacy? >> i think her announcement was really arrogant and weak. i'm announcing on sunday, so everybody has to just continue to follow social media to find out what is going on. and then you know you look at i just mentioned russia and iran this morning, her record, four years of secretary of state leading from behind, the libyan chaos she created russian reset obviously hasn't worked. withdrew our last troops from iraq creating a void where isis filled that void. i don't know what she will run on. it certainly can't be her record as secretary of state. bill: are you suggesting that you draw a strong contrast between your record here in new york? >> absolutely. i'm proud to talk about my record of not just managing government but changing it, dramatically reducing its size its power its impact. changing the law we went from the most dangerous state in the america to the fourth safest. i'm proud of my record.

but, bill, it will be about vision going forward. i remember days of america ronald reagan peace through strength and world was safe and america was safe. we now have chaos through weakness. we need american leadership that again is willing to say that, this is a great country. we will stand with our allies. we will rebuild our military and make those who dislike us fear us. bill: indeed you sound like you're running. >> we'll see. bill: that is as far as you're going to go? >> that is as far as i can go. bill: rand paul, marco rubio, ted cruz, how do you think you fare? >> i think there are good candidates. i think there are a good potential republican candidates. they are three senators. they haven't run a government. they haven't shown their ability to convert words into action. we had six years with barack obama. he spoke wonderful words back when he was running the first time but i think the american people see that he has failed to be able to deliver on those words. someone who led a state like new york for 12 years changed

it i think that is a differentiator that the american people understand. bill: next stop for you new hampshire. >> tomorrow. bill: tomorrow. how are you getting there? van? >> small plane. not a van. bill: we'll camp out at the airport. governor, thank you. george pataki, we'll speak again very soon. >> good seeing you bill, thank you. bill: thank you for your time today. martha: so painful lesson for one college athlete. it ain't over until it is over. the oregon runner thinks he has race sewed up, yea. uh-oh. waving smiling for cameras. he was unaware that his rival was sprinting catch up. overconfident leader was losing at finish line. isn't that a lesson for everybody? bill: oh, yes. sure is. martha: he played, on calm, cool collected until the very last ball went into the cup on 18. >> waving to everybody in the crowd right. martha: exactly, a little bit. bill: that will get you second place, america.

so is the federal government running awe muck with your tax dollars? get this, there are two different agencies to regulate a toy gun. martha: no. bill: you will not believe evidence of waste we have found we will tell you. >> pretty unbelievable. plus spacex, will once more make another try at history today after a spectacular failure. yep, that is what it looks like time around. ♪

[laughter] martha: well, may sound funny around the p apparently at the time was talking about actually doing something about all of that government waste. not so much. the government wastes billions as the white house gets ready to spend even more of your tax dollars. of the so bad the feds can not keep track of it all. you will laugh because you will cry if you don't. there are 42, 42, federal transportation programs. those 42 programs are run by six different departments all to help people get to the doctor. you have got eight agencies, eight, that are in charge of consumer safety. eight agencies. i don't even know how many people work at each of those agencies but we'll try to get that for you. the feds oversee 112 mental health programs. lou dobbs is the host of

contend better. martha: personal therapy services. >> one of the examples is the non-emergency medical transportation. i love this one because it is about non-emergencies, so regularly taking people who are on medicaid, which is the largest program, $1.3 billion, but there are eight other programs and no one knows as you were suggesting, how many people are actually involved in it. they don't know the duplicated programs. this is put in some perspective, because this is one of my favorite presidential efforts. george w. bush, back in 2004, imagine this, issued an executive order, fiat, to fix all of this. he created something called, now this is republican allegedly conservative president right? the interagency transportation coordinating council on access and mobility to fix it, and bring greater efficiency.

martha: what do you think they're doing today? >> we can't get them to answer the phone but we did find this out, martha. i'm sad to report that the council has not actually held a meeting since 2008. martha: really? >> but -- martha: four years worth of meetings and decided they were redundant? >> we can't really testify they did actually have an annual meeting. >> okay. >> but we can say this with certainty. they have done nothing to fix the problem. martha: let's pull up a couple of other greatest hits here. this is the toy gun regulation group okay? >> right. martha: in the toy gun regulations because this is a serious problem the fda is responsible if it is a laser kind of toy gun. >> right. martha: of course if it is a different kind of toy gun the commerce department would have to take that over because they are people in charge of the orange plug. so they're regulating a number of devices at my house. >> i can imagine. martha: they're in charge of all of those. what about -- >> customs and border protection of course has to look at these

as they come across. and the last number i saw in reading through all of the material, the guns at the port of entry these are play guns, that they are spending whole 10,000 on them and doing nothing to regulate them. i don't know how they come up with the number $10,000 in a federal budget that is $4 trillion big. only 2.2 trillion coming from taxes. martha: you know worth pointing out any one of these, you could make a potential argument for what why you need any one of these, but you don't need 12 of them. you don't need two of them. you don't need 42 of them agencies to do this stuff. need a little bit of accountability that doing what they are supposed to do in the first place. >> no one follows up to look at efficacy the program the congress in its genius or the president in his genius has ordered. that is part of the problem. the other part of the problem

is having a government so vast, so large no one can manage the thing. the president was being perfectly amiable and honest he stood there and said he has no idea what is going on. martha: running out there who you would think be interested in this project? >> i think everyone of them better be. there is a new mood out there. we're watching hillary clinton attack ceos because they're making 300 times the average pay. martha: right. >> we're watching people -- martha: how about federal bureaucrats? >> four million people, the government not necessarily here to help you and me but those four million folks are certainly getting some assistance. martha: with your tax dollars. thank you, lou. that was fun. >> we paid for it. so we better. marthha: absolutely. thank you very much, lou. see you next time. bill: i feel better. not. jenna lee some cog up next.
