12:00 pm
a doorknob method why not tie it to a javelin and let it fly? she takes it a like a champ. i guesses it runs in the family. didn't cry. just asked for water to wash her mouth out. thanks for being with us today, here's harris in for shep. thanks a lot, gretchen. islamic state terrorists claim they already have fighters inside the united states. that is just great. and they're giving some specifics now, ahead how intelligence specialists are investigating the new threat. also the germanwings crash in the alps, did the pilot actually reers this plan to bring down that jet? you'll hear what investigators have uncovered. as maryland's governor lifted baltimore's state of emergency, the mayor is asking federal investigators to look into her entire police department. we'll explain what she wants and tell you about a new demand from one of the officers arrested in the death of freddie gray. busy hour ahead, let's get
12:01 pm
started. i'm harris faulkner in today for shepard smith. the islamic state savages have operatives in 15 united states ready and waiting to strike. that claim in an online post allegedly by a self-described american jihadist. fox news cannot verify that independently, but the post warns, isis has 71 trained soldiers across america. and that post is also claiming isis has two dozen signed on to launch attacks inside the u.s. the threat that we'll see new attacks unfolding over the next six months. one splar to sunday night at the moe hemd cartoon contest. isis claimed credit for that yesterday, and sources tell us one of the gunman's twitter account is linked to isis fighters overseas. the online warning named five of the 15 states where it claims terrorists are stationed, virginia maryland illinois california michigan the white house said again today, it's too soon to blame isis for the attack in texas, but it also
12:02 pm
said the white house is well aware of the threat from isis. watch. >> there is a robust response both in terms of trying to prevent individuals from being radicalized in the first place, but if they are, we have mobilized extensive law enforcement and intelligence resources to protect the american people. >> also today, the state department announced it is putting up big cash and reward money for information on several isis leaders. katherine katherine is live with the news in washington. >> the secretary of state is authorizing rewards between 5 and $7 million apiece for information leading to the capture of isis leadership or the disruption of their major plunge. at the top of the list is the fixture for isis he is one of the guys who was in on the ground floor for isis and main mouthpiece for the group in charge of spreading the message through glossy propaganda. he has called for attacks on the west and specifically the united
12:03 pm
states. what's key here this is the same strategy that was used by the bush administration to take down the al qaeda leadership including osama bin laden after they went into hiding post 9/11. tip that led to his capture got $25 million. this decision by the state department today is more evidence that the obama administration recognizes that isis is a legitimate threat to u.s. national security interests, harris. >> all right. so a legitimate threat but what about the actual threats, 71 people inside our country. >> that's right. first with the claim of responsibility over the weekend for garland, texas, on that isis claim, the white house is saying today that investigators are still taking a hard look at that twitter traffic between isis and one of the shooters we first told you about here on the show monday, but yet no firm conclusions have been reached. >> the analysts want to review whether the claim is accurate and if so at what level isil may have known or potentially even sanctioned this attempted
12:04 pm
attack. so it's less about just confirming the authenticity of the specific twitter feed. >> and ernest referred to elton simpson, the suspects in the garland shooting as not being part of a broader conspiracy which seemed designed to minimize their ties to isis and kind of an odd answer given lone wolf curists by definition do act on their own. on the threat from these isis operatives in more than a dozen states in this weren't, fox news is told that the source is not isis leadership but a lesser known guy who wants to associate himself with the terror group, though this threat at this point is not being fully discounted harris. >> katherine, thank you very much. now let's bring in mike baker. former covert operations officer. he's president of the llc and private intel and security firm always good to see you, mike. you know i want to unpack this. let's go back to the idea of paying for this type of information, this program. tell me thousand works -- how it works. >> this program, putting out
12:05 pm
rewards for tips that lead to capturing thor. >> that's over 30 years old. so we've been doing that in u.s. government for a very long time. it's not a successful when we're talking about terrorists as you might think it is when you're offering amounts of three, five seven, $10 million. you would think that would capture attention and you'd receive credible tips. what you're doing is fighting against a family relationship a triable relationship religious affiliation, so, when you're talking about trying to, you know use this program for capturing terrorists it's not as effective as it would be for say criminals. >> you know, i'm curious. elton simpson, one who died trying to carry out the attack. they were able to get to private messages in twitter. you only need $4,000 to join me.
12:06 pm
just $4,000. you're talking about millions. is it that we're underestimating the power of money here? could it actually work? >> well look again, what happens is you can't discount the importance of the religious affiliation of the family of triable connections when you're talking about trying to get someone to drop a dime on somebody within a terrorist organization. so it's an important tool in the kit bag, i'm not saying it's not, it's a worthwhile and important tool it's not as effective as possible. >> it's curious to me about how we're going to get the messaging to be as effective on our end against the evil and the hate when they are using the internet like their own personal pr machine. one of them potentially here you heard katherine's report on whether or not that's legitimate. what are your thoughts? you have years of experience in counterterrorism in the u.s. and outside the u.s. is it possible they planted people like that here? >> well it is plausible. when you look at the number of active open investigations in
12:07 pm
almost every state in the union, and then you think about, 70 or so jihadists, radicalized individuals willing to carry out violent acts it's not implausible, are they all being directed, you know deliberately and in contact with isis as an example? no. but you know it doesn't minimize the threat or the danger. the problem we've got, when you talk about how do we counter this? it starts at the top. i can't help it i have to address this when you listen to the white house, try as katherine pointed out to try to distance itself from the idea that this shooting in garland was part of a broader conspiracy. that's moronic, it's incredibly naive or willfully ignorant to try to act as if this isn't a broader conspiracy. and whether you call it isis or you just call it islamic jihad, that's the problem. we still, even to this day, we have a hard time identifying
12:08 pm
what it is. >> identifying it we're still waiting for the president, president obama to speak on it exactly. just to say these words, great job by the local authorities and by that security guard who stood between evil and the people inside. mike baker, always good to see you, thank you very much. >> sure thank you. islamic state's bloody terror campaign forced more than two million men, women, and children from their homes in iraq. that's according to a humanitarian group. also syria has the highest number of ref jew gees more than seven million since the civil war broke out four years ago. thousands of people have died in iraq and syria after the islamic state began taking over huge blocks of those countries. the pentagon reports now the u.s. and its allies have launched more than 3,000 air strikes against the terrorist army since last year. increditing a dozen bombings in iraq just since yesterday. and get this you know most hotels will charge a fee if they catch you smoking in your room. at hotel isis probably more
12:09 pm
severe. you cannot make this up. the islamic state reportedly is running a five-star luxury hotel in moegle. an iraqi city under isis control now. you can see the black flags flying out front. it's difficult to independently confirm them but according to published reports about them the terror group is giving battlefield fighters r and r. swimming fool tennis courts, and a gym. probably won't find any alcohol though. all the rules apply, no smoking, no drinking and guests have to stick to a strict dress code. freddie gray case developments. now the mayor launched a federal investigation, she's asking the feds to get involved in her city's police department. it comes amid word that somebody was flying surveillance planes over last week's protests. we'll look into it, stay close. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

12:13 pm
rights violations but now the baltimore mayor says she wants the justice department to e police force for evidence of illegal police practices. >> i will hold those accountable if change is not made. we cannot be timid in addressing this problem. and i'm a mayor that does not shy away from our city's big challenges. >> so we know that the feds investigated the ferguson missouri police department and said they found ed of racial discrimination. in baltimore, half of the arresting officers are not people of color. one of the officers facing charges in freddie gray's death says he did make a legal arrest even though the state's attorney said otherwise. gray was carrying an illegal knife. his attorney is now asking the prosecutor to turn over that knife claiming it could prove they have no case. in a statement, the state's attorney said she will not release evidence before a trial. meanwhile, there's word surveillance planes were being flown over baltimore in the past
12:14 pm
week and the fbi is involved in that. that's according to to the reporting of the washington post. now legal and privacy experts are reportedly demanding some answers from the feds. peter doocy live in baltimore, what do we know? >> apparently two guys in baltimore spotted two small cessna aircraft were flying low. one of them decided to look up the tail number and what they discovered they tell the washington post it was registered to a company called ny research out of virginia. here's the thing, ng research very mysterious. we're having a hard time what they do and who they report to. the fbi is apparently involved somehow, in this surveillance operation that was only at night, but beyond that we only know that someone was watching from aircraft that can fly a lot
12:15 pm
further and for a lot longer than most of the police helicopters that we saw and heard when things were really heating up here harris. >> you know peter, from working scenes like this sometimes they'll fly low aircraft to keep an eye on the crowd, maybe take pictures that sort of thing, but usually officials will tell you if that's what they're doing. i'm curious to why they wouldn't be more open about this. i do know that earlier, the maryland governor lifted the state of emergency there. so what happens going forward? >> as you mentioned before the mayor really wants to see every officer wearing a body cam by the end of this year, and also hopes all of the officers will soon be under the microscope of the department of justice. she thinks the feds are best equipped to figure out how to stop police bias and unconstitutional practices. this comes adds the governor is ak knowledging the tension that builds up and caused riots is still just under the surface. >> we have to be honest with ourselves, these problems have taken many decades to grow and
12:16 pm
they will likely take decades to repair. >> today a lot of the talk on the street though is about how the state's claims against the officers charged in freddie gray's death are being challenged in a big way by officer edward niro who insists the prosecutor is wrong to say freddie gray was carrying a legal knife so he should have never been arrested. the lawyer filed a motion to see the knife and prove that its blade is spring-loaded and illegal in this city. i asked both the governor and the mayor about this new report that could undermine a big part of the state's case. both of them said they're not going to get into it. harris. >> peter doocy, thank you very much. now let's go to idaho where police say a man shot and killed a veteran police officer, stole his police car and led them on a high speed chase. $2 million bail for him. investigators say a police dog find him hiding under a tractor-trailer two hours after
12:17 pm
he stole the patrol car. he has a long criminal record. prosecutors charged him with an attempted murder but that was before the officer died in the hospital. last night, hundreds of people turned out for that fallen police sergeant. greg moore, 16-year veteran of the pd. a husband and father of two. the nfl has been investigating whether the new england patriots deflated footballs to the run up to the super bowl. remember that? whatever happened with that? now we're learning bhat league found, and of course it's offseason. hmm. days after he lost in the ring manny pacquiao has a new legal fight ahead of him. that's coming up.

12:19 pm
12:20 pm
12:21 pm
well here it is new england patriots employees likely deflated the footballs used during the afc championship game in january. that's according to a report released today by the nfl. the indianapolis colts had complained underinflated footballs about them after patriots beat them to advance to the super bowl which they won. the 243-page report wow. 243 pages on a bunch of football found patriot's quarterback tom brady was at least generally aware that 11 or 12 game footballs were not properly inflated. brady has denied he knew anything about any tampering. the report found no evidence that the coach, bill belichick knew of the violations. patriot's chairman robert kraft says he is quote, disappointed in the report he claims it offers no hard evidence. okay. i'll just tweet about that later. if losing the fight of the
12:22 pm
century were not enough manny pacquiao now faces a class action lawsuit. it claims pacquiao and his promoter defrauded anybody who bought ticket or a pay-per-view package or bet on saturday night's fight, pacquiao did not include a shoulder injury before fighting floyd mayweather jr. organizers estimate the fight generated $400 million in revenue, pacman expected to take home 124 mill of that and mayweather earning 180 million, the biggest in boxing history. he's facing a lawsuit of his own, we'll get to that in a moment. state officials are deciding whether to discipline pacquiao themselves. boxing regulators knew about the torn rotator cuff five days before the fight. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano he's fox news's senior judicial analyst. we'll start with pacquiao. there was some kind of -- >> by the way, i was ohhing and
12:23 pm
ahing because a giant's fan. you were talking about -- >> and if the deflated balls were found before maybe it would have changed something. no one will care by september. anyway moving on. preexisting shoulder injury is really what's key here. i understand he took a questionnaire, he checked off he was okay. >> i looked at the questionnaire, and it was signed two days before the fight, and it was signed under oath. so the serious investigation for the attorney general of nevada as to whether or not mr. pacquiao committed perjury because he didn't want the fight to be delayed. now, the fraud thing is related to this but it's different. that is a lawsuit brought by two people both bought tickets, and one of them bet on the fight. doesn't say how he bet or how he would have bet differently if he knew pacquiao was injured, but because it's a class action it reports to be in behalf of everybody who bought a ticket and everybody who bet on the
12:24 pm
fight. so think about what would have to happen here. you would have to reverse engineer each one of these bets and try and figure out what money was lost as a result of people not being aware of mr. pacquiao's injuries if in fact he did have the injury before the fight. this would have a profound affect on gaming in las vegas where it is unlawful. it does appear that he was injured ahead of time that he did not answer this truthfully and that the public was not aware. >> wow, 120 million he's taking home. normally i'd say, you couldn't get much. if you split that several different ways -- >> 120 nol his company, so he's got to pay all of the expenses trainers db. >> gross amount. >> it a lot of money. >> we'll be watching this. >> only looking for five million, which tells me not a strong case. >> oh. look at the judge. >> they want a quick, down and dirty five and leave. meanwhile, mayweather his
12:25 pm
ex-girlfriend says something you told journalist katie couric i'm going to hold you responsible for too. does that stand up? >> i don't think so. i don't know how she lost money as a result of mayweather says she had a little too much to drink one night and had to restrain her. whether it's true or not, it's not the type of case that courts like to get involved with. defamation cases are very difficult to prove, they're very expensive to prosecute. look her former boyfriend, just took home 180 million, she wants a quick 20 from it. i don't think she's going to get a nickel. >> you like to bottom line things. quickly, you're watching us in the green room and you watched our coverage from baltimore, maryland, and our discussion and you had thoughts. people just joining us new in this case is the attorney for one of the officers six officers accused in the death of freddie gray says that the knife that freddie gray had on him was actually illegal. and you wanted to make what comment? >> he has an absolute right to examine that knife, but if the
12:26 pm
knife was found as a consequence of the arrest meaning when they arrest you, meaning you don't have weapons on your person when they take you away if the arrest was unlawful it doesn't matter if the knife was unlawful because newly acquired evidence after the arrest cannot make an unlawful arrest lawful. stated differently, the arrest has to be lawful from its very beginning in order for it to be valid. >> real quick, why does that matter? >> it matters because this particular cop, whose lawyer wants to see the knife is charged with a false arrest. so if he knew that he had this illegal knife on him or had reason to believe he had the illegal knife on him and the knife was illegal, that would be a basis for the arrest if he just happened to find the knife because he was patting him down that does not make an unlawful arrest lawful. >> interesting. six different officers, different charges for each. i would imagine we're going to be unpacking a lot of these charges and arguments along the
12:27 pm
way. >> especially if the feds come in and decide to prosecute first, which sounds like the mayor, in my opinion, foolishly is asking for. >> she wants them to look at her whole department but think it opens up for the doj? >> i do. >> wow, talk about a back door. >> this is a state of maryland case. the feds really like in ferguson -- >> is that good for her? >> i think it's political. i think it's political because it takes heat off of her. this is loretta lynch and the fbi, this is not her, she wants to seek reelection. >> get a lot when we bring you on. >> good luck with the giants. >> they'll be terrific. >> i hope the footballs are inflated properly. >> do you think brady will be punished? >> i don't know. we'll see. it's offseason. thank you, judge. >> you're welcome. new revelation in the germanwings airline disaster. the co-pilot seemed to practice the deadly plunge during a different flight. details on that. also why investigators say the pilot did not notice.

12:34 pm
well the killer co-pilot in the germanwings airline disaster apparently practiced his deadly dissent just two hours before the crash. that's according to a new report frr french investigators. they say during the previous flight, the co-pilot lowered the plane's altitude setting, five times within a few minutes, including several times to as low as 100 feet. all the while, the pilot was out of the cockpit. investigators say passengers and crew members may not have even noticed the co-pilot messing with the controls because the plane was descending gradually. >> translator: the captain didn't realize at all because the co-pilot's test during the outgoing flight took place during a normal pre-programmed descent and didn't have impact on the plane's trajectory. >> it was from doostle dofr to barcelona, on the flight back that co-pilot locked the pilot out of the cockpit and intentionally slammed the jet into the french alps killing all
12:35 pm
150 people on board. also the voice recorder captured the sound of passengers screaming in the moment's before the crash. we still don't know why that pilot would have wanted to crash that airliner and commit mass murder. reports indicate he'd been severely depressed in the past and was taking medication. leah gabriel is live in the newsroom now, leah. >> reporter: well harris this new information is coming from a preliminary report by the french agency that investigates crashes, which i should point out is the actually independent from the investigation by prosecutors. now that agency's director said this about the flight before the pay it that crash. quote, when the co-pilot was alone, he set the altitude control switch of the auto pilot to 100 feet. so he did rehearse the descent ahead of the accident. now according to to the report here's what the so-called rehearsal looked like. as a plane dropped in altitude the red lines at the bottom of the chart show the moments when the co-pilot switched the autopilot setting to 100 feet.
12:36 pm
he repeatedly switched from correct settings to 100 feet that the pilot was outside the cockpit. keep in mind what you saw was o descent and according to to the report controllers did instruct the co-pilot to descend from 31,000 feet to 21,000 feet. investigators are looking at ways to keep this from happening in the future. >> reporter: that's the stated purpose of the investigations. and the preliminary report says it'll go beyond looking at co-pilot's actions, quote, the investigation will also study the systemic failings that may have led to this accident. now the report says investigators will also look at medical aspects, such as criteria for flight crew including psychiatry and behavioral problems as well as recruitment policies. investigators will also be looking at securities focussing on the door-locking systems. and that's of course because the initial investigation says the co-pilot didn't open the cockpit
12:37 pm
door despite multiple requests made for the pilot including the banging on the door heard just before the crash harris. >> well this story so captivated the world as it was breaking leah thank you very much. we're going to continue now with justin green, a commercially licensed pilot whose worked on crash site investigations and aviation attorney. justin good to have you. i saw you studying what leah was saying carefully, what jumps out at you? >> i think what's been the most important thing, any time there's an accident is to see how we can prevent it from happening again. the one thing that jumps out at me is think about the people on the prior flight and how close they came to dying. and one of the questions i have is how many other flights had this guy basically played around with the altitude and thought about about making taking down the flights. >> you saw the previous flight. even practicing was dangerous from what -- >> oh you know, what he was basically doing was turning a knob that changed the altitude.
12:38 pm
that's not dangerous because he'd have to engage the altitude. what's dangerous is having him in the cockpit in the first place. this is a guy who should never, ever have been in the cockpit. and his problems came up during initial training. this isn't a pilot that developed something over time this is a pilot who came in damaged goods. >> just so i'm clear on the previous flight the dangerous would have been the randomness of him perhaps choosing that flight over the next flight in terms what have he was doing. all right. so talk to me a little bit about why the pilot would not have noticed this. >> the pilot on the prior flight -- >> yeah he's outside the cockpit. it's a gradual thing, but you really wouldn't feel it at all? >> no what happened was he selected a descent. once they started in the descent, it's going to continue. move 100 feet isn't going to change anything. it's going to continue on the descent until it levels out. so what he was doing would not have been felt outside the cockpit at pull. wouldn't have made a difference.
12:39 pm
>> he seems pretty slick. he seemed to get away with quite a bit. >> but at the same time there was a lot known about him. i mean, during training he couldn't finish training because of health issues. especially he got a doctor's note basically after having to stop because of his mental health issues the doctors said now he's better and they let him back in training. i think that was the critical mistake. >> justin consistently since the story was first brought on to the landscape and they were trying to figure out why this happened after the crash. i've heard time and time again this would not happen in the united states. >> i think that's largely because of the second person rule. most of the airlines in the united states have a second person rule. and that this co-pilot would not have been in the cockpit alone. everything he did, he did when he was behind a locked door and when he was alone. i don't think, this is really more of a question for a psychiatrist. i don't think he would have taken down the airplane if the flight attendant was in there with him, which is the rule that would have been in place in the
12:40 pm
united states. >> i understand they got a lot of this information from the plane's black boxes. can you just determine what kind of information comes from where? because i'm just curious to know how do they know he's been practicing? >> the airplane has two black boxes, one is the voice recorder the second is the flight data recorder. the flight data recorder is where most of the information came from. it actually records almost everything that a pilot does in the cockpit, every time they turn a knob every time they move a control, it records it. and in this case we know from the flight data recorder which hasn't been taped over from the prior flight that he had basically been playing with the auto pilot, changing the altitude and contemplating, i believe contemplating taking that flight down. >> all right. sop you hit the nail on the head that's what i wanted to ask. sometimes they are taped over. >> that's right. >> do they just got lucky? >> yeah it was just within the time of recording. they got lucky to get the prior flight.
12:41 pm
it doesn't add too much to the investigation. it also part of a safety system they randomly pull flight data recorders and examine them. we're going to see whether in the investigation we find out that they have been able to go back and recreate other flights. this is a guy who's sitting up in the cockpit, he's supposed to be all about safety and he's sitting up there contemplating murdering people. that should never, ever happen. >> it will not bring those people back. and hopefully bring some closure. what it does do from what you're saying is keep this from preventing from this happening in the future. justin green, thank you very much. is the 40-hour workweek a thing of the past? people are working more than ever before. we'll examine why that's happening, stay with us. across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills
12:42 pm
and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck.
12:43 pm
serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

woman: as much as i sweat, i always wore black. other clinical antiperspirants didn't work. then i tried certain dri. it's different. it stops sweat before it starts. add some color to your life with certain dri. fox report now, more headlines from the fox news deck. the first speaker of the house ever forced out of office has died.
12:45 pm
democratic jim wright resienled in 1989 after the house ethics committee charged him with dozens of violations. we learned from a nursing home in fort worth, texas, he died this morning, he was 92. tornado caught on tape in western texas near lubbock. nobody hurt thankfully and an hour's drive south in austin flash flooding washed out roads and stranded drivers. we're told one creek road 13 feet in a very short period of time. also triggering a rock slide that shut down part of a highway. again, no one hurt. and a smokestack going up in smoke at an oil refinery in tacoma washington. so far, no reports of injuries. we don't know yet what caused the fire. well people around the globe are working longer hours than ever before. that's according to new research from the consulting firm. researchers surveyed thousands of full-time managers and eight different countries and found nearly half work more than 40 hours per week. in america, that number is much
12:46 pm
higher some 58% say they work longer hours. the only country where people say they worked more than that was mexico at 61%. compare that to china, we're only about 20% of the work force says they put in an average or more than an average 9:00 to 5:00 week. researchers blame the increased hours on the cost of living going up with their pay. which remained flat so you're working harder and makingless money. this is the author of giving a 12-step plan for getting our financial lives together. always good to see you. >> thanks so much. >> is this work track that we're on is this kind of a post-recession type thing that's happening? >> i think this is actually going to continue. if you look at the folks that were surveyed for this study, they actually said that in the last five years, they worked even more. so this trend looks like it's going to continue and also younger folks, millennials are saying that they are working harder than ever before. if you dig into these numbers
12:47 pm
and try to find the holy grail of work life balance, millennials are struggling the most with it. and more millennials than boomers actually had two folks in a couple working full-time. >> wow. >> more than double of baby boomers. >> i'm going to try not to be insulted by that. are you telling me i have the holy grail? i'm a working mom, six days a week -- >> and you like it. that's great. >> but i don't think i've reached a holy grail. i think i married well and my grandmas are good. >> i think it's about embracing the blurred lined, thank you robin thicke. we're tethered to smart phones and always connected to work six days like you or seven days a week in cases. i think it's really -- >> is that normal? >> i don't know about healthy, but i think it's about realizing that there is a little bit fz flexibility and let's not be so hard on ourselves and silo each of them so hard core. >> you know i looked at the u.s. labor department statistics and we have just
12:48 pm
plain created a lot more part-time jobs than we have full-time jobs at a faster pace since the great recession. so it kind of makes sense to me that if you are blessed enough to get a job, you're going to work to keep it. you're going to have to work a couple of jobs to equal what you had before the recession. >> i think a lot more folks also want more flexibility. so it's not necessarily more time off, but more flexible work hours, let's say, getting out early on friday working from home folks that were studied here say that only actually 10% were actually demoted or had a negative ramification because they asked for more flexibility, but i think it would behoove companies more so to try and throw a flexibility bone. >> really? >> to their employees to try to keep them happy. >> nicole you're so nice but i want to like be mean to you right now. >> why? >> this sounds ridiculous to me. if we're fortunate enough to have a job, why not work as many
12:49 pm
hours. if you can make it work for you, i don't know. i don't know that i, i hear you kind of prescribing something different for people who are working hard. >> i think a lot more folks now are also working for themselves. so i think it's to each his own or her own, what that balance actually is. that balance, we have to make for ourselves. there is no, you know hard line as to what is work and play. i think a lot of times you can take your kids to work events and that is work but that's also family time. again, robin thicke embrace the blurredlines. the four hour workweek that came out in 2007 and got down a little bit more so recently. i think it's about being more productive than that. if we can embrace the productivity versus the hours we're clocking in, that's probably where it's at. >> blurred lines, wasn't he sued over that song? >> details, details. >> nicole good to see you. >> thanks. extreme weather alert now. this is a live look from oklahoma. we've been watching this and 50
