martha: which it bring it on. have a great weekend everybody. "happening now" starts right now. we'll see you monday. jon: love tim tebow. this friday is an anniversary of a sweeping piece of legislation overalling the american health care system, did you know? good morning to you, i'm jon scott. >> good morning to you, everybody, i'm jenna lee. two years ago the president signed his controversial health care bill into law touting it as a major achievement. >> despite decade in which washington failed to tackle our toughest challenges, despite the smallness of what so much passes for politics these days, despite those who said the progress was impossible, you made people believe that people, who love this country can still change it. so this victory is not mine. it is your victory. it is's victory for the united states of america. [applause] jenna: well the president and democrats in congress are not marking this

anniversary with a huge celebration and here's one of the reasons why they're probably not doing that. some brand new poles show a slim majority of americans want either of the entire law or parts of it repealed. those numbers growing since we first asked the question in the fall of 2010. listen to this. also increasing are the numbers of those who want the law expanded. it is a huge campaign issue for republicans. here is mitt romney speaking moments ago. >> at the centerpiece of this failure is this piece of legislation back here, obamacare. and i say that for many reasons, one, you note that the white house is not celebrating obamacare today. they don't have any big ceremony going on. the president is not giving speeches on obamacare and that is for a reason. most americans want to get rid of it and we're among those americans. i want to get rid of it too. jenna: on monday comes the supreme court showdown when a constitutional challenge to the law heads to the highest court in the land.

chief white house correspondent ed henry is following all the developments at the white house. welcome to our show, ed. what is going on at the white house as far as the health care law anniversary? >> reporter: really nothing. it is interesting because yesterday white house spokesman jay carney told reporters in his words it was knuckleheaded for reporters to make an issue out of this about an anniversary administration officials call a hallmark holiday. they believe it is phony holiday. real people across the country don't mark the health care law's progress by specific anniversary but instead how it is being implement and how it is playing out. remember that was different than two years ago today when vice president biden had an infamous way of explaining how big of a deal he thought it was. take a listen. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barack obama. [cheers and applause]

>> reporter: he called it a big bleeping deal. that is why the white house has a big banner saying happy second birthday to the health care law because they are saying they want to remind the president about this anniversary and in fact senate republican leader mitch mcconnell did much the same. take a listen. >> i was a little surprised there wasn't a birthday cake there to celebrate the second anniversary of obamacare. we've all notice ad not a whole lot is being said about the new law by people who were involved in passing it. and i think there is pretty good reason for that. the, after two years it is pretty clear that that it is full of broken promises. almost everything that was said about the law, predictions how it would turn out have not worked out. >> reporter: now he may not

be talking about it today, the president, but we should point out that he has been talking about it more and more out on the road. there was a fund-raiser in chicago last friday where he picked up on that criticism from mitch mcconnell and other republicans who call it derisively, obamacare. fine. call it obamacare. obama does care, the president said, about kids that diabetes and illness or preexisting conditions because they're covered in health insurance because of this new law. they will be as aggressive on the trail as republicans are in terms of knocking it defending that law but today they're not doing it. jenna: what did the president say about those talking about the anniversary. he said what? >> reporter: jay carney called it knuckleheaded reporting. i don't know who he was referring to in particular making a big deal out of the anniversary. i don't think he is refering to you that we're making a big deal of it. i think he thinks of world of you. jay carney is former reporter for "time" magazine.

i seem to remember "time" magazine doing a lot anniversary stories. this is not a big deal the media making a lot out of an anniversary but maybe the white house doesn't want to talk about. jenna: we report, you decide. ed henry at the white house today. >> reporter: thank you. jenna: as you know the government is introducing the health care law in stages over the course of several years. 92 new provisions. starting in 2010, dozens of them kicked in and rollout continues through 2018. here is a quick look at a few of them and what else is on horizon. in 2010 the law allowed young adults to stay on their parents plan until they turn 26. that same year we saw new consumer protections including one preventing insurers from denying children coverage based on preexisting medical conditions. in 2011 the next year, a new provision provided discounts on brand name prescription drugs for seniors. also introduced, medicare payments for primary care. we have new provision this is year. they include reduced

medicare payments for hospital readmissions and annual fees on the pharmaceutical industry. next year, the law will increase medicaid payments for primary care and looking ahead to 2014, some new changes will be guaranteed. guaranteed availability of insurance regardless of someone's medical condition. there will also be a requirement for all u.s. citizens and legal residents to have health coverage. there will be a quiz on this later, jon scott. so i hope you got all of that. jon: it is a complicated law. fox news is america's election headquarters. in less than 24 hours the republican voters head to the polls in louisiana's primary. rick santorum hoping to take another southern state after big victories in mississippi and alabama, reinforcing his case he says for staying in the race as an alternative to frontrunner mitt romney. the latest "real clear politics" average of the polls on louisiana gives him a solid 10-point lead over

romney. but there are questions whether santorum can keep racking up victories as the race moves north. let's talk about it with stephen hayes, writer for "weekly standard" and fox news contributor. i know you have just spoken to mitt romney. is he, he must be aware obviously of the polls in louisiana. what if he doesn't win that race? >> yeah, look, i don't think that the romney campaign has any expectation that he would win down there necessarily. and as you point out, jon, they're looking to north places like maryland, washington, d.c. and wisconsin which certainly will be competitive on april 3rd and beyond that to other northern states where the romney campaign team thinks they're doing well. this is good state for rick santorum. sets up nicely for him. lots of catholic voters and pro-life voters down there and that is reflected in the real clear come picks average which is 10 points and several polls have him double-digit lead in louisiana. jon: he has been critical on

the mitt romney especially the etch-a-sketch comment that a romney official made. we'll play that for our viewers. >> you give people a choice. you win by giving people an opportunity to see a different vision for our country. not something than a little different than the person in there. if we have a little different stay with what we have instead of taking a risk which may be the etch-a-sketch candidate for the future. jon: he seems to say there, steven, that you might as well vote for barack obama if mitt romney becomes the nominee. is that what he meant? >> well, his campaign will say he was talking about the reaction of voters but certainly if you just take his words literally, certainly sound like he was saying there is no difference whatsoever between barack obama and mitt romney which is a monumentally stupid thing to say. clearly there are major differences between mitt romney and barack obama. even if you are a conservative and you have some reservations about mitt romney and about the

possibility that he could be this etch-a-sketch candidate that rick santorum talks about, to suggest there is no difference between mitt romney and barack obama goes well beyond where most primary republican voters are likely to be right now and i think you could see a real backlash from this comment, if primary republican voters are taking this as think most people are, you could see some pushback on this. jon: even newt gingrich came out with a tweet after hearing those remarks and said any of the gop candidates would be better than barack obama. where does newt gingrich figure into this louisiana primary? >> i don't think he figures in very much. i think, he is not doing very well. he has been in single digits in many of the recent con tests. he is hoping for a santorum explosion so that he could perhaps come back and once again try to re-establish himself as the conservative alternative to mitt romney. he himself has said, you know, he is hoping for a 19 or 10th reset in the race to

be a viable candidate again. i think that is unlikely. jon: i know you talked with mitt romney about possible vice-presidential candidates assuming he gets the nomination. what did he tell you? >> well it was interesting. he had given an interview to charlie psychs, a talk radio show host in milwaukee, wisconsin, yesterday morning. charlie psychs suggested that paul ryan and marco rubio would be good candidates and assumed they would be on mitt romney's list. romney said to me i haven't begun the vetting process. i don't know who will be doing the vice-presidential vetting for me. any candidate who is going to be the nominee would have a very long list of potential vice-presidential candidates. he did say one thing i thought was interesting. i asked him if that long list of his would include a pro-choice candidate and he said in one word, no. jon: interesting. stephen hayes from the "weekly standard.". steve, thank you. >> thanks, jon. jenna: a lot of new developments in the shooting death of an unarmed florida teenager.

the investigation into last month's kill being of trayvon martin is now out the hands of the police chief. he is stepping down temporarily at this point. the move coming at anger increases at his department didn't arrest the shooter. neighborhood watch captain george zimmerman tells police he shot the teenager in self-defense. the president is weighing in on the case for are the very first time that is picture of zimmerman there. phil keating in miami. in the past hour the president called this a tragedy. >> reporter: this was outside of the white house. president obama was asked specifically about this florida story which has really rallied many people around this country to address the issue of what they say is black skin, meaning you're more suspect for law enforcement and in this case a neighborhood watch activist. president obama spoke outside the white house and specifically, 17-year-old trayvon martin of course, no

one has been charged in had is death right now. the shooter, george zimmerman, remains free. has yet to be charged. and so, people are demanding that not only he be charged, but that justice be served now and in the future. the president obama said he can specifically imagine how trayvon martin's parents feel. >> my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin. you know, if i had a son he would look like trayvon and, you know, i think they are right to expect that all of us as americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we're going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. >> reporter: the protests and rallies continue today. a up do couple of high schools walked out of class.

a middle school in broward county. last night up in sanford where the deadly shooting happened, reverend al sharpton helped lead alongwith trayvon martin's parents a national rally for justice. 5,000 people attended, including several busloads of supporters who drove in all the way from georgia and the leaders there, the parents and the civil rights activists, demanding that the shooter get in custody. >> the trayvon martin movement is just not here in florida. it is in new york city. it is in california. it is in london, england. it is going to keep growing until they prosecute and convict george zimmerman!. >> reporter: the governor of florida appointed a special prosecutor to handle this case and overlook the entire investigation. that's a state attorney's office up in jacksonville

now getting involved as well as rallies for even more actions coming today from chicago, st. louis and washington, d.c. big rallies continue daily around the country. jenna: more news as we get it. phil, thank you. jon: it is considered the last line of defense against terrorists who would hijack a plane. a training program for arming commercial pilots. president obama's 2013 budget would cut in half. jenna: interesting. they have been buying tickets for days now to see "the hunger games". a look at maybe the controversial message in the film and in the book. talk about it. jon: the mysterious booms shocking people in one wisconsin town. no one could figure out where the noises were coming from. some say now the mystery is solved. ♪

jon: a growing debate right now over your safety when you fly. president obama's 2013 budget slashes funding for training pilots to carry firearms on the planes that they pilot. the administration says that money can be better used on other security options. critics say the move threatens a last line of defense against would-be terrorists. chief intelligence correspondent harnl harnl live in washington now. what is at the heart of this debate? >> reporter: good morning, jon. homeland security officials argue they use a multilayered approach to security with redundancies built in. reinforced cockpit doors and intelligence data on passengers. this is part of the homeland security department risk based and intelligence-based approach to airline security a decade after 9/11 where the department focuses on most high-risk areas of attack and most consequence. the homeland security

favored cuts to the federal flight deck officers program. these people are trained to and can carry guns into the cockpit. >> the reduction for the federal flight deck officer program is predicated on the fact that the problem is not risk-based and you will have an ffdo, just, you know, whether somebody is on a flight or not. and we are moving in the tsa so risk-based systems. those are the ones that we're going to put money into. >> reporter: in a statement the tsa confirming that federal money will be redistricted from the budget under this program to other programs they characterize as high priority and risk-based operations jon. jon: cutting back on that training program not popular in some circles. who is pushing back? >> reporter: that's right. there is conference in washington today where we heard from a member of congress who says the administration plans to slash the budget for the program 50%. 20 million to $10.5 million. he says that doesn't make

financial sense base these flights are a safety net at reasonable price. >> according to estimates by the airlines pilot associations ffdoes only cost $15 per flight. >> reporter: that is pretty astounding price tag when you think about it. and the congressman went on to say that this program deals with about 100,000 trips a month. and 1.5 trip as year and supporters say it is not just about carrying a weapon in the cockpit as a last line of defense. there is also deterrent effect. if you were someone wanted to take over aircraft you probably think twice because you don't know if the pilot or copilot are armed in that case. jon: 15 bucks per flight. that is the statistic? that is cheaper than the baggage costs. >> that sick loo a movie and some popcorn. jon: that's right. catherine herridge, thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. jenna: attorney general eric holder is signing off on new guidelines that call for keeping data on americans for up to five years instead of six months.

is the government making us safer or watching us way too much? we'll have a fair and balanced debate coming up. plus speaking of the movies, a highly anticipated film making a midnight debut. up next a closer look at "the hunger games" and maybe its message about big government. you decide for yourself. >> prime minister every dean. >> i volunteer as tribute oh common. and how can you talk to me about fiber while you are eating a candy bar? you enjoy that. i am. [ male announcer ] fiber beyond recognition. fiber one.

>> five, four, three, two, one.

jenna: well if you haven't heard about "the hunger games", buckle up because you're going to now. crowds buying tickets days in advance. they lined up for the midnight debut at 12:01 this morning. a movie based on the wildly popular young adult novels. focused on a young woman in an wall hunt by the government. players play to the death. like your favorite reality show 24 hours a day. obviously there are serious themes behind the books and films including the role of big government and power of the media. jim pinkerton writes on foxnews.com, the film has conventional elements including a love triangle, but what is moist startling about the movie is the overt political message. ordinary folks are good. government is bad, really bad and there are no evil corporations in this film. the bad guys are bureaucrats and tv hosts.

present company excluded of course from that. jim pinkerton joins us now. i called it a young adult book, but i have to confess, i read all of the books and really enjoyed them because there is a message there about government although the author really keeps you guessing. your title of your article on foxnews.com, is, hunger games shoots arrows at big government, big media and hits the bull's-eye. what bull's-eye are you talking about? >> a bulls eye that is government that is so cruel and vicious it selects young people to be murdered in a televised gladiator style ritual combat. i'm older than the demographic. i wrote the piece and a lot of my friends said i read the books. hike "harry potter" they're really well-written and audiences of all ages enjoy the books. however the movie now and

hollywood interesting enough did not change it from when the books were published years ago because the clear target i think the book written back in 2008 would have been president bush. and now four years later, a new president and the basic message of anti-government libertarianism and, freedom from really oppressive and vicious state, stays intact. jenna: the author doesn't do a lot of interviews, suzanne collins. she said she came up with the idea about watching coverage on television of the iraq war and flipping channels and seeing a reality show and thinking wow, look at the different experience of young adults in this country. so she did draw obviously from real events. you right in your piece though, you say, every rising generation changes politics of its predecessors. you say this might be indicator now of youth sentiment out there. what do you think that sentiment is? >> well, for example, i think that young people have grown up with the iraq war and afghanistan war and

probably are, like most americans are pretty tired of it and pretty determined not to have that happen again, and i think that while they're too young to vote now and probably maybe don't vote at all if they're in their 20s, they will make memories with them, memories of wars and then, giant big government where again the movie is very clear on this too. ordinary people are poor and government is rich. that happens to square with the data you see about how the richest zip codes in america now are in washington, d.c. and so i think those two, the memories of rich government, poor country, stupid, stupid wars and blood sacrifice, i can't imagine that won't affect future politics in the decades ahead as they say we'll not vote for that anymore whoever tries to give it to us. jenna: no vampires in it. it is not like "twilight.". jim, thanks very much. >> thank you. jenna: his entire piece on

"the hunger games" is on foxnews.com. jon, i will say something about this. if you go through the next couple books, this is first installment, there is statement as well, one would think, i would be curious opinion about our viewers on this. there is little rebellion. i don't want to give too much away. there is interesting messaging. you will have to read it. trying to get entire crew to read it. i'm all alone. jon: i will have to go with my young adult children. jenna: i'm right there with your young adult. jon: pg-13. jenna: pg-13. warning to parents. it is children killing children and everyone is watching as a blood sport. wow, right? jon: pretty intriguing. i have to get a tick k then i will read the book. "the hunger games" is turning into a financial feast for some companies and their investors as they get set to rake in the dough. those include the book's publisher, scholastic and online retailer amazon. there is hasbro and mattel cashing in from toys aligned

with the flil. the movie is selling out in thousands of theaters. the filmmaker lionsgate and imax, also anticipating a healthy serving of money from "hunger games". jenna: back to real life. a frightening warning for real estate agents. a agent was sexually assaulted during an open house. now one folks in one part of the country are being cautioned not to show homes alone. coming up where this is happening. we'll tell you more about it. one town in wisconsin a boomtown, literally. mike tobin is live in clintonville as they unravel a mystery making national headlines. mike? >> jenna, california thought it had the market cornered on earthquakes. now wisconsin has earthquakes and cheese. that story coming up.

to the latest polls. another story about a state going boom. >> did he hit anything there? jon: did well seemed what the sheriff said. jenna: new developments in this mysterious boomtown. the city of clintonville, wisconsin, rattled by a series of unexplained booming sound disturbing residents and causing a whole lot of sleepless nights. now the rumblings are solved, or are they? mike tobin joins us live in clintonville with more on this do we have the answer, mike? >> reporter: i think it gave it away with the tease before, earthquakes, wee little earthquakes, kind that no one would notice out in california. this is wisconsin, where the only rumbling is supposed to be in the bowling alley. >> booming noises rattled the house. it is really scary. >> all of a sudden the whole building just shook. the counter around me shook. it almost knocked the computer off the counter. >> people are worried.

like what are we going to do if it happens again, what are we going to do? >> reporter: now only one of the earthquakes was confirmed by the sizemology equipment. that registered a 1.5. one seismologist said he first time he heard of someone noticing a an earthquake that small. the reason people could hear the booming on top, because this area sits on a bedrock of granite. apparently granite is very good for conducting sound and that is why people heard all of the booming. on the upside, jenna, cows are giving milk shakes. really. jenna: mike, really? mike tobin. he will be here all week. thank you, mike. jon: note right has been good for the town and i hope tobin spend a lot of money for the lunch for the crew while he is there it has been a little economic boom in that town. jenna: good point. they will take it i'm sure. jon: i'm sure they will. there are new concerns over the government's latest moves to keep us safe. under new guidelines counterterrorism officials

can keep data on americans and legal residents for up to five years! used to be it was only six months. the new rules meant to help officials do a better job tracking down terror suspects. the critics worry it comes at a cost of individual rights and privacy. monica crowley, raid show talk show host and fox news contributor. julie roginsky, former communication direct for for senator jon corzine. also a fox news contributor. julie, you don't think much of these new regulations. why? >> i know you haven't read "the hunger games" like jenna and i have. jenna: thank you, girl. >> a little similar. a little big brother. look i have vast concerns about the fact that the government can now spy essentially, keep information on american citizens who are not even under suspicion of any kind of threat for a total of six years. that to me is incredibly troubling it. was troubling to me under the patriot act. this is troubling to me under barack obama. this is not the country we

were raised in and certainly not the country i want to see. i understand there are national security concerns and six years is awful long time. they don't cite a reason for it. in fact you don't know if you're spied upon until the six years are up and maybe you get your files. maybe they're redacted. a little frightening to me. jon: monica, i don't know what the parameters are but my understanding there has to be a reason that you would wind up on this list. it is not like, you know, just because you walk to the corner grocery store and buy a carton of milk. >> no, exactly. what the administration is arguing here is that they have put very strong safeguards for privacy and civil liberties. in these databases so that not just anybody randomly would appear in them the argument the administration has made here is on national security ground. they're saying look, prior to 9/11, we had a very difficult time because of the wall that jamie gorelick and others in the clinton administration put in place to get these intelligence agencies to talk to each other and get them to

coordinate and compare databases of possible terrorism suspects. after 9/11, the 9/11 commission came in and said we have to take down this wall and have our intelligence agencies be able to connect the dots. what the administration today has done, say we're going to, in order for us to better do that, we need access to these databases over a longer period of time so we can actually trace possible terrorism connections and make the case over a continuing basis. you know, i think it is also, interesting, jon, julie i give her a lot of credit for standing on this issue because not a lot of democrats have really spoken out about this where they were willing to pound president bush for ravaging the constitution through data mining and all the other counterterrorism policies. jon: wait a minute, monica, on second anniversary of the signing of the health care law, are you agreeing with the obama administration? should we mark our calendars? >> keep it on the tape, jon. i do support the administration. >> come on over to the dark side, monica.

there is room for you. jon: julie, what about this though? for instance, you know, the 9/11 plot which did not involve american citizens as far as i'm aware but the 9/11 plot took a long time to hatch. >> sure. jon: up till now the, these plots, you know, this information, the government has had to expunge after six months. that is not really enough time, is it, to do the all the is and cross the ts? >> the timing is not the issue. to me the timing is that only up to the government. we have to take the government's word, you, i or monica may not be on the list. bottom line we don't know what is going on. better option go before a judge and have a judge issue these kinds of orders. to have the government have blanket unified decision none is aware of, no oversight is troubling. jon: would you feel better about it if congress passed it and authorized it? >> i feel better if a judge or some sort of independent body, i guess a judge or

some sort of, as i said, independent body set up was able to monitor this and make sure this is actually something that is needed and not just because the government says hey, you know, monica crowley today is somebody i want to be spying on. take our word for it. she is a bad person. we don't know she is or not. jon: we'll put monica on the panel. julie roginsky, monica crowley we have to leave it there. jenna: i bet you're on the list. jon: she does raise a good point. jenna: interesting story to watch. we're watching this story as well. a real estate agent sexually assaulted while showing a home for sale. police are searching for a suspect and wondering if there is a trend they need to keep an eye on. harris faulkner is here at the breaking news desk desk. what do we know about this? >> reporter: thank you, jenna. real estate agents are on alert in prince george's county after a woman was attacked while on the job. it happened in a suburb in

washington, d.c. a man grabbed her when she went into the basement of a home for sale. she was about to show it. here is how police say it happened. >> unknown suspect went behind her through an unsecured door. grabbed the victim, sexually assaulted her and fled the scene. >> reporter: police say the woman was able to fight back and managed to get away and go and call for help. here's the description now of what police are saying, the person they say they're looking for. african-american, age 25 to 35 years old. about 6'1" with a slim build and short hair. he was last seen wearing a blue or black t-shirt and dark tennis shoes. the held of the local real estate association there giving advice to agents in that area or really anywhere when you're showing a property. >> never hold an open house alone. don't do that by yourself. always have a partner, someone else there with you. if you're going to show houses, at least let someone in your office know where you're going, where you expect to be and always have a charged cell phone with

you at all times. >> reporter: anyone with helpful information on this case should call the prince george's county police department sexual assault unit. 301-772-4908. jenna: harris, thank you. jon: as most americans know too well the price at the pump keeps going. up. the three things president obama can do now to cap gas prices. that is coming up. mation. only hertz gives you a carfirmation. hey, this is challenger. i'll be waiting for you in stall 5. it confirms your reservation and the location your car is in, the moment you land. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz.

gasoline blends during the summer could help. and temporarily allowing foreign tankers to transport gasoline from refiners in the gulf coast to the east coast might help too. right now, that is forbidden by federal law except in national emergencies. >> expect at least one of those three options. each of them is bad. each of them has a real world consequence as well as some perception consequences but of all of them the strategic petroleum reserve is the one he is most likely to use, well, he has done it already. >> reporter: and individually and collectively experts say these moves might cut the cost of gasoline in the short term by up to a dime or two for maybe a month or two. jon? jon: peter barnes, fox business network. thank you. jenna: right now new details on operation fast and furious. the botched government program tracking guns south of the border. turns out, the feds had a big-time criminal in their possession but let him go

apparently. what happened there? we're going to break down that story for you. also a high-tech twist on an old art for. got a phone? got a tattoo? jon will be answering that question after the break. the two will come together. tattooing and your cell phone. we'll tell you how. the details straight ahead. jon: i do have one of them. ♪ this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.

is a lot like picking a team. you could go with the fastest, most reliable, and at the very least, talented at what they do. or... you could go in the other direction, and see what happens. pick the right team. with over 6 times the 4g lte coverage, verizon is the obvious choice.

jenna: before we go to this next segment jon wants me to make it very clear that he didn't have a tattoo. jon: it is tattoos and cell phones. i said i have one of them. jenna: clear up the rumors before they get out of control. new technology bringing you closer to your cell phones,

so close right on your skin. apparently nokia is coming up with a tattoo that vibrates when someone calls or sends you a text? sounds farfetched? apparently purity port he hadly there is already a patent. we have dr. stephen garner from new york methodist hospital to talk about this. peter, how would this even work? >> well, first of all i think it is important to point out that the patent cover as couple of possibilities and getting a tattoo is one. the other one is getting some kind of a fabric that would adhere to your skin. but tattoos are also a possibility. so let's talk about them. basically the idea is that the phone would be equipped with a special radio that would send out magnetic waves as opposed to regular electromagnetic signal. and the metal in the tatoo would be mag advertised. is -- magnetized. so basically would respond to whatever signal the phone sends out.

you could customize it so it would send out a different vibration depending who is calling. jenna: that would be really hard to ignore a call. doc, what do you think about this? we put microchips in our pets to identify them if they run away. would this be okay for humans? >> i don't like it, for two reasons. first tattoo part. if you go into a tattoo parlor doesn't look like a hospital as far as the technique being used. the guys are very skimpy overseen. what happens people can get allergic or infections. even metal can be absorbed into the bloodstream and give you a chronic condition. anything that increases cell phone, right now since we're not really sure is it harlful, is it not? what about kids? any increases i don't think is good. there is actually a syndrome people recognized called phantom cell syndrome. >> what is that? >> you feel vibrations all over your body cell phone goes off. you go in your pocket and it

wasn't. just your imagination. imagine with vibrations coming in all the time, people getting vibration all over. maybe i get your vibration by accident. jenna: you just might, peter. >> so the big advantage here though we've all had the experience where your phone is in your pocket and vibrates and rings you're either out or don't hear it. jenna: right. >> you miss an important call. jenna: that's true. >> so if this is actually either on your skin or, a part of your skin, it pretty much guaranties that you will never miss that important phone call. jenna: it is interesting what you said about the part of the fabric. wear it as a bandaid and take it off instead of having something in your skin. we don't know too much about this. nokia won't comment. we received out to see if we confirm the report. they say they will not comment. peter, dr. garner -- >> one more tip, jenna. jenna: yes. >> if you get a tattoo, get a bad burn and heats up. think about it. jenna: i'm not going to do it, dr. garner. at least i'm not going to tell anybody.

peter, doc, thanks so much. jon: i like to answer my cell phone with my device. don't need it on my skin. jenna: no "happening now" tattoo anytime soon? jon: no. jenna: all right. jon: massive rallies for religious freedom taking place around the country. they are just getting underway. we'll take you live to one of those rallies to find out what is driving this movement. all right, let's decide what to do about medicare and social security... security. that's what matters to me...

me? i've been paying in all these years... years washington's been talking at us, but they never really listen... listen...it's not just some line item on a budget; it's what i'll have to live on... i live on branson street, and i have something to say... [ male announcer ] aarp is bringing the conversation on medicare and social security out from behind closed doors in washington. because you've earned a say. the healthcare law gives us powerful tools to fight it... to investigate it...

...prosecute it... and stop criminals. our senior medicare patrol volunteers... are teaching seniors across the country... ...to stop, spot, and report fraud. you can help. guard your medicare card. don't give out your card number over the phone. call to report any suspected fraud. we're cracking down on medicare fraud. let's make medicare stronger for all of us.

jon: a fox news alert, and a nationwide rally for religious freedom going on in 140 cities across the country. here in new york city where we're located, crowds gathering downtown at what's called federal hall, the theme is stand up for religious liberty and against the administration mandate, forcing employers and insurance companies to provide health care coverage for contraception. our religion correspondent lauren gre. ne is live at that rally now. lauren. >> reporter: lauren, are

you able to hear me? it appears we don't have our link to lauren, we'll take you to that rally in lower manhattan as soon as she's able to hear us. >> right now we have brand new stories, in a brand new hour of "happening now". investigators find a key piece of evidence in the mismysterious disappearance of a california teen. could it be the clue that leads police to sierra lamar, what they found and why it may be so important. >> also a tv crew looking to report the news, becomes the news, coming face to face with a dangerous situation. what happens next after this reluctant interview subject pulls a gun. a breakthrough discovery on the cause of male pattern baldness, could it finally lead to a cure? those stories, plus all the day's breaking news, "happening now".

a few gremlins today but it's friday! sometimes that happens. jon: it is friday! jenna: gld you're with us, everybody, i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. what could be a critical contest in the race for president, voters in louisiana head to the polls less than 24 hours from now. chief political correspond ent carl cameron is live on the road in new orleans, where he will be at tulane university. >> definitely a major theme, with the louisiana primary and santorum leading in the polls, all the candidates in one way or another are talking about the affordable care act, omabacare and how they would repeal it or undo and it replace it with something else and in many cases they're beating up on mitt romney, the latest polls show santorum has the

lead in the state and is expected to win here but gingrich and romney are likely to pick up delegates for the nomination in this process and there's no doubt that they have been battering back and forth. mr. santorum today is up in monroe, louisiana, where he took in a little bit of shooting practice, and he's clearly targeting mitt romney for his role in passing massachusetts health care reform. the polls show that santorum is leading here and romney is defending his health care plan. he just wrapped up an event in metorie where he was talking about specifically he believes today he should be the nominee as the best suited to undo omabacare. let's listen: >> at the centerpiece of this failure is this piece of ledge a-- legislation back here, omabacare. i say that for many reasons. one, you note that the white house is not celebrating omabacare today. they don't have any big ceremony going on, the president is not giving speeches on omabacare, and

that's for a reason. most americans want to get rid of it and we're among those americans. i want to get rid of it, too. [applause] and there are a lot of reasons for that. >> reporter: two new polls, one for the public policy polling group, if you look at the average of the polls mr. santorum has a commanding healthy lead. both romney and gingrich know they're not likely to win here tomorrow so the race continues next week but santorum is making the argument that only he is going to be the last conservative alternative to romney, romney essentially saying it's locked up, he's casting himself now as the presumptive nominee and trying to turn that into an inevitable nominee which could come in a few weeks. but in louisiana,ie not likely to win. jon: our shot from the quick response vehicle, just breaking up, carl cameron on the road from metorie,

louisiana. jenna: robert bailes is expected to be formally charged today with seven counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder, the soldier accused of gunning down nine children, as well as eight adult necessary southern afghanistan this month. live at the pentagon, national security correspondent jennifer griffin has more. >> reporter: hi jenna. we expect to hear the charges have been read against staff sergeant bailes in about an hour's time. a military judge advocate general, a jag officer, is currently with staff sergeant bailes at fort leavenworth, the high security, maximum security prison in fort leavenworth, kansas, he's been reading bales the chart this morning , and his lawyer told cbs his client is still in shock. >> he didn't really know the nature of the specific allegations when i met with him and i actually didn't go through it a lot. we just spent 11 hours

getting to know each other, talking about his service in iraq and afghanistan, and what he has gone through, which just -- very difficult for me to even listen to. >> reporter: the charges we've learned from u.s. officials will include 17 counts of murder. no word yet on how the number of victims went from 16 to 17. we have learned that there are five afghans who were wounded during the shooting spree. staff sergeant bales will be charged with six counts of aggravated assault and attempted murder. we will not hear today whether the u.s. military prosecutors will be seeking the death penalty. >> you've seen the movie "the hurt locker", charlie. that's a disney movie compared to what these guys are going through. you know, just seeing people blown apart next to you, picking up body parts, putting them in bags. you know, a lot of servicemen go through that and don't have incidents alleged like this, but it's pretty horrific, and we do know he had a concussive

head injury which is serious we also know it was not treated for a variety of reasons. >> reporter: army signature john mchue told congress yesterday that there are 50,000 folks in uniform who have had at least four deployments. the psychiatrist who specializes in posttraumatic stress disorder say that pstd alone would not result in the violence that staff sergeant bales is accused of. jenna: more on this as we get it fromming pentagon -- from the pentagon, thank you. jon in the fast & furious investigation, turns out the feds had the ring leader of the botched gun running operation custody more than once but let him go. now capitol hill wants attorney general holder to explain why the suspect was released despite evidence clearly running guns. william la jeunesse has more on this. >> reporter: this is

precisely the type of information the congressional investigators say the department of justice is hiding because it came from a back channel insider, not in response to a subpoena and jon, basically there were two suspect, not just the ring leader but another guy they could have arrested but did not. so i want to show you a form, known as 4473. according to law, when you buy a gun, you answer on this form that you're buying the gun for yourself. not someone else. otherwise, it is called lying and buying. and it's illegal. now, on march 30 and 31st, ariel patino bought eight weapons at a phoenix gun store and claimed those guns were for himself. two days later, however, patino's guns showed up in manuel selesikasa's car, the ring leader of this operation, proving that patino wasn't buying for himself, but neither were

arrested. they allowed patino to buy another 300 assault weapons, and allowed to drive back and forth to the border to meet cartel buyers, police even stopped him at a checkpoint in arizona and found 75 rounds of ammunition and nine cell phones hidden in his car and still, they let him go. >> the department of justice is the department of injustice, and i think that they can't expect people to believe why they couldn't arrest this guy. >> reporter: so what does it mean? three things. it undermines this idea of the big fish justification in the fast & furious because atf phoenix had the big fish in custody and didn't take him down. second lawyers say that agents lack probable cause because of these two stops, however. that is evidence that there was probable cause to arrest him. and finally, some in congress suggest, again, the department of justice is covering this up. why? this information came from an insider. not from someone -- or

information they've been seeking all along. one hundred republicans in the house so far have signed a resolution of no confidence in the attorney general and house democrats today asked the expecter general to issue their report before the november election because this issue is likely to come up in that race. back to you. jon: they're going to be on the front burn fora long time it sounds like, william la jeunesse, thank you. >> thank you. jon: we told you at the top of the hour about those protests, you might say, in 140 different cities around the country. protests over the mandate that insurance companies cover contraceptive care. religious correspondent lauren greenee is live at one such rally taking place in lower manhattan. are you able to hear me now? >> reporter: yes, job, thank you very much. there are rallies happening on the steps of federal buildings all across the country, about 140 cities. you can see behind me, hundreds have shown up at federal hall, the historic

federal hall. underneath the statue of george washington, of course, the first president. it signals a fundamental foundational issue that they're fighting for, which as they say is religious freedom. they've shown up here, they are talking, they are singing, they are chanting, calling for the end of this health care mandate. organizers say these protest, this call for religious freedom, is just the beginning. >> we're going to be working to, first of all, spread the truth about what the hhs mandate really means, break through all the smoke and mirrors and spin that's been coming from the white house, and educate our fellow citizens about it, then mobilize their outrage into political action, including votes on november 6th for an administration and a congress that will restore religious liberty. >> reporter: the core issue, the obama -- obama administration's requirement that employers cover contraception and other drugs that may deem a

violation of religious teachings and beliefs. they say the health care mandate is a misguided take on religious freedom. >> the rallies are about a phony form of religious freedom, not the kind of religious guarantee by our constitution that protects not only the institutions but the individuals that work for the institutions. >> reporter: the rally organizers say what's at stake here is the first amendment, the exercise of -- free exercise of religion. of course they also hope to influence the supreme court justices who next week will begin hearing challenges to the legality of the health care bill. jon. jon: lauren greene in lower manhattan, outside federal square, thank you. jenna: some are now calling hezbollah a bigger threat than al-qaeda. disturbing new evidence of this threat to americans inside the united states. judy miller is going to be joining us after the break

with more on that. >> plus, police identify a suspected criminal still on the loose. why this man is greasing up doorways before he breaks them in. d! i'm here to unleash my inner cowboy. instead i g heartburn. [ horse neighs ] hold up partner. prilos isn't for fast relief. try alka-seltzer. it kills heartburn fast. yeehaw!

jen right now, some new information in the crime stories we're keeping an eye on for you here, california police discover a missing teenager's police, sierra lamar disappeared on her way to school last week, investigators found her bag at an intersection, just 2 miles from her home. they're continuing this investigation. also new details on a suspect arrested in texas, and linked to a disappearance, a mysterious disappearance in alaska. texas police charging israel keyes with illegally withdrawing cash from peoples' bank accounts, now they believe he used a stolen atm card in alaska shortly after the abduction of 18-year-old samantha koenig. >> new york police identify a suspect in a very bizarre string of break ins, investigators say this man

hides from victims by smearing petroleum jelly on their doors, then he busts them down with a crowbar. anyone with information on this suspect is urged to call police. jon: some disturbing new evidence that hezbollah, the iranian-backed terror group, has hundreds of agents right here in the united states. that group is believed to be scouting targets for terror attacks. many in the intelligence community now say that hezbollah poses a greater threat to americans at home than al-qaeda does. let's talk about it with author judith miller, pulitzer prize winning investigator and fox news contributor. hezbollah, we don't hear a lot about and in fact there have been some secret operation that is have excel led hezbollah members apparently that the united states or at least most of us never even heard about. >> right jon, but there has been at least 20 public investigations that had resulted in long criminal indictments and people going to jail of hezbollah, which

is engaged in an enormously wide range of criminal activities, from money laundering -- but mostly financial activities. what really worries the federal government now is that they just worry whether or not theirs is going to change from financing to terror. jon: so up until now the thinking was that america was rt so of a cash cow for hezbollah. >> exactly. jon: do deals here, sell drugs and that sort of thing and make money off it. >> exactly. and this is regarded as kind of petty, even though there's nothing petty about it but now if you see these people in place and they've been in place for a long time, that's the concern, that the people could be activated and suddenly they could resort to supporting terror and providing material support for terrorist operations. that's the real concern of an organization that is very patient. there's another complicating factor, jon, and that's that

hezbollah is also a huge political party in lebanon, one of the most important parties, and as a result, it's very hard to consider them just a terrorist group. jon: the new york police department apparently, as a result of this testimony, the new york police department apparently says it has caught iranian diplomats or employees of iran state television videotaping the railroad tracks inside grand central terminal, for instance, cruise lines, even a heliport in lower manhattan. >> yes, and these people either work for the iranian mission in new york or they are listened by them, that is, they work for iranian broadcasting. whatever the case, the nypd arrested these people, and held them, and transferred them over to the federal government, then nothing was done perhaps because these people have diplomatic status and as a result, supposedly, they're still in the country. jon: and the plot against the saudi ambassador, that

has a hezbollah connection? >> absolutely. this is another instance in which hezbollah used a cutout, that is someone who had ties to a mexican drug cartel, to try and assassinate a saudi ambassador on american soil in washington, d.c. in the middle of a busy, busy restaurant. that was the attempt. and what michael braun, who works for the drug enforcement agency said, was you know, i'm very concerned at this nexus, this growing nexus, between the drug networks that bring drugs across from mexico and from colombia, and terrorists, because the terrorists have discovered these networks and they're now trying to use them, too. that's a huge concern for the federal government now. jon: judy miller, still recovering from your laryngitis, thank you for being with us today. >> much better, thank you jon. jen jeanne reporter finds herself in the middle of a crime story literally when an ugly confrontation gets

out of control. a man pulls a gun on her and it's caught on camera. plus a cure for baldness. what scientists discovered that's giving a lot of men new hope. is this truly a breakthrough? bald is beautiful! come on! bruce willis? there's a lot of good guys that are bald! ♪ i'm making my money do more. i'm consolidating my assets. i'm not paying hidden fees or high commissions. i'm making the most of my money. and seven-dollar trades are just the start. i'm with scottrade. i'm with scottrade. i'm with scottrade. and i'm loving every minute of it. [ rodger riney ] at scottrade, we give you commission-free etfs, no-fee iras and more. come see why more investors are saying... i'm with scottrade. with verizon 4g lte and a 4.5" true hd display, it's great for watching movies and sports,

jon: a reporter and her camera crew investigating a murder finds herself in the middle of a crime story, an ugly confrontation ensues when the son of a caretaker charged in an elderly man's death apparently didn't like the reporter asking questions. he not only swats at the camera but goes to his vehicle to pull out his gun. the scary confrontation, all caught on camera, the tv station planning to file

charges. what's caught on camera, no doubt, key evidence there. jon: well, you see a lot of guys these days shaving their heads, going with the bald look, right? a nice look. and there's new hope for guys now that are going bald that actually want their hair back. we know that's an issue as well. a new discovery is getting to the root of the problem as a protein on the scalp that stops hair from growing, scientists think they know how to stop that from growing and help you have a full head of hair. doc, will this discovery really truly cure baldness? >> jenna, it may work. it's very, very promising. it's based on prostaglandin prostaglandin-d2. they did it with mice and now with humans. the next step is going to be

to block the protein from being formed or to go to the gene and block that from making the enzyme that prorms the protein. that's the state of the art of medicine by the way and they think they may come up with a treatment within five years that really works. jenna: you mentioned the gene. is this protein hereditary or something that can develop? sometimes people say don't stress out too much, you're going to lose your hair. is it only something that comes in your genetic code or is it something you develop over the years. >> why are you asking me that! why am i chosen for this segment! must be because i have that genetic predisposition. actually, it is genetic and we see it in 80 percent of men before the age of 70, including other members of our medical a team, including bruce willis, including howie mandel. even demi moore shaved her head to be in a movie. bald is beautiful! until this treatment comes out, i want men to enjoy it.

jengen everyone has that one thing in your vanity and a big cure would probably be big money. would you do you think this -- how do you think this would change the products on the market and are there products on the market now that you think are particularly good when it comes to -- >> that's great question. this is about hair follicles shrinking in your scalp and rowe gain works in 20, 30 percent of men. there is another product, proticia, that causes the hair follicles to shrink. that happens in 30, 40 percent but it has side effects you don't want to see so i'm nervous about prescribe thank some of the time and i look for a treatment without the same kind of side effects. right now, we don't have a cure-all. this is extremely promising. and it might be that you could use a treatment for this earlier in the process

and prevent the baldness from actually occuring. jenna: would that treatment come in the form of a pill or come in the form of a lotion? what do you think it would look like? >> it i -- i think it would be either -- could be either one, a lotion on the scalp, but more likely a pill that would block it from forming in the first place. this is a very, very common hormone. it causes inflammation. so i think the inflammation interferes with the hair follicles forming. it's great science. jenna: let's bring up the picture of bruce willis again. i think it's fair to point out, men, whether you have hair or don't, you're pretty lucky, women are going to like you either way. i think either way, you're good to go. >> that was the question i was dying to ask you, is it okay to be bald? what do women think about this, because men is always wondering about that. >> i can understand that. speaking personally from my own opinion, i think either way. it's more about the man. not about the hair, doc! >> i'm very, very tblad to hear that, because i know

your husband is a great glie and he has a military hair cut, so the hair wasn't what got me. >> it's close to being bald. it's close! >> jen don't tell him that! dr. siegl, thank you. they say within five years, it might be out there and it would be big for the market. >> a revolutionary treatment for the market. good to see you. jon: some severe weather warnings to tell you about. we'll check in with the fox extreme weather center and find out where the powerful storms and tornadoes may be headed. >> plus a high tech way to keep kids safe on the football field, a brand new helmet that acts something like an air bag for the brain. the jointer joins us.

jon: there's a potential for severe weather today a. chance of strong storms from the ohio valley to the southeast, bringing heavy rain, hail, winds, and possibly tornadoes. meteorologist janice dean is in the fox extreme weather center. j.d. >> reporter: and maybe the end of 70-degree temperatures across new york as well, jon scott! yes, things are changing. this is the same weather system we have been talking about all week. the fact that we've seen severe weather in terms of tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, flooding rain, you can see that upper level low really spinning that counterclockwise motion and there's our very slow moving cold front across the gulf coast, pushing up towards the ohio river valley. we do have the potential for

severe weather later this afternoon. i'm going to show you that in a second. but heavy rain continues to move into the florida panhandle, montgomery, alabama and into georgia. there's the severe weather threat, the lower ohio river valley could see damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain as that low continues to press eastward, then tomorrow the severe threat moves across the southeast, so places just outside of atlanta, wilmington, savannah, you could see damaging winds and isolated tornadoes and the heavy rain that continues to pound across the southeast. in some cases we could see 4-6, 8 inches of isolated rainfall across areas of mississippi in towards alabama. and the forecast highs, these are yesterday's highs. we actually set a record in new york, 78 degrees. look at cleveland, 83, 80 in raleigh. we do have colder air -- colder air, not really cold but it's going to bring temperatures down, especially across areas that

have seen record areas, look at columbus, ohio, chicago, and we set a record in new york city, 78 and boston, # three. in some cases, 30, 40 degrees above what we typically see this time of year. there are the current temperature, 74 in new york, 76 raleigh. again as we head into the weekend and next week, things will start to moderate, so we won't see the extreme heat that we've seen really over the last week across much of the country. jon: so the worst of that rain has moved out of louisiana, is that right? >> absolutely. but we're still going to see the potential for flooding across the gulf coast. we still have flash flood watches and warnings. jon: we have carl cameron down in louisiana. you could use him as a weather shoer. >> -- spotter. >> he can do everything. the guy can do no wrong. i hope he's dressed appropriately! jenna: it could be a major breakthrough in football safety with so much focus on con suggestions and the

dangers they pose, many parents of athletes are worried. of course we had that whole bounty controversy that came to a head as well. brand new high tech helmet could prevent a lot of injuries, its maker says the helmet acts like an air bag for the brain. vin ferrara is maker of the helmet, he played quarter back at harvard, got his medical degree and mba at columbia university. it's quite impressive. you could do almost anything. why did you choose to do this? >> well, my experiences throughout my life as an athlete and now as a parent, this is the most exciting and important thing that i feel like i can do with my background and my energy. expwren jen what makes this helmet -- and i see it sitting in front of you, what makes it different than other helmets? >> first thing, this helmet

utilizes a different system, it actually uses a snug fit system, so the athlete puts the helmet on and pulls on the strap and it snugs the helmet down around the player's head so you get an instantaneous customize dollars fit, the helmet stays very secure during play, so it's -- we feel like it's the best fit system on the market. second, instead of using a simple padding system like most helmets, we actually used air cell shock absorbers, so the air cell shock absorbers work very much like an air bag in a car, they compress and minimize how suddenly the head moves during the impact. that's really what you want to try and do. jenna: have you put the helmet on and, you know, tried it out? >> most days at work, you can see me at my desk, trying it on for comfort and fit purposes. i have not gotten out on the field. i think my playing days are long past me. but the helmet, it's been on the field for 4-plus years

now, we've sold over 100,000 of these helmets from youth through nfl. so it's certainly been through the wringer on the field. jenna: that leads me to my next question. how do you know it really works? half of the con suggestions in -- concussions in high school are never reported and football is such a game that no one gets hit the same way, concussions aren't always the same so it's tough to make that comparisons. how do you know it's effective? >> that's great question. our helmet has often been put on the highest risk population to players, players that have prior concussion histories, players that are seniors and captains and starters, so it's been put on a population of players who are most at risk for concussive episodes. we studied it both in the labratory and on the field, we've got player feed back from survey, we've gotten athletic trainer feed back from surveys. at the end of the day, you're right, there's no absolute definitive test either in the lab or

currently on the field that really accurately measures concussions. it's a very complicated issue. there's an evolving definition of concussions. and as you said, players often don't report what's happening, so it's taking collective information. jenna: some will critical of technology, saying there's a limit to technology, especially in a game like football, because you're getting hit. so there's always going to be that risk. does your little boy wear the helmet when he plays? >> he does. and he hears probably 99 percent of the things he hears from me are about education, technique, rule enforcement, culture change. zenith is all about education, just as much as we are about innovation. we feel the helmet is really one part of five things that need to happen. one is culture change, which you're seeing coming from the nfl, really eliminating the focus on big hit, second is technique and rule enforcement, third is really just minimizing the exposure to risk by shortening live

practice times, fourth is proper head protection, then fifth is when the injuries do occur, because they will, really recognizing them and managing them properly. so we look at it as a risk reduction continuum, the helmet is one part of that. i'm a big believer that when the helmet goes on the field we want the population of players wearing it being as educated as they possibly can be. that's what's going to make the game safer and better. jenna: it caught our attention and it's something we wanted to pay close attention to because of some of the stories that have come out of the nfl this week. vin, so best of luck to you and your son and his football career, and we look forward to having you back. thank you. >> thank you very much. jon: there's a movement to put pressure on radio station after a couple of shock jocks say nasty things about whitney houston. our newswatch panel looks at the slippery slope of trying to control the public air waves. plus, outrage over the verdict in a notorious murder case sparks a wild

jon: outflaij los angeles as a couple of radio shock jocks go over the top, their comments about the late singer whitney houston now sparking a city council resolution, calling for radio networks to control what their hosts say on the air. is that appropriate? let's bring back in judith miller, a pulitzer prize winning investigative reporter, kirsten power, columnist for the daily beast, both are fox news contributors. i don't suppose we need to get into the name that the two guys called whitney houston but it was pretty awful. the question is, is it appropriate for the city council, kirsten, to do what they did and try to essentially control what goes out over the air waves? >> well, it's a resolution that doesn't have any kind of legal power over anybody,

so i think it's perfectly appropriate. they're just basically weighing in, saying this is not the kind of talk that we want to have on the air waves, this is not how we want to talk about other people. i don't think there's anything wrong with that. i think we should be able to in this day in age, i think it's 2012, i'm pretty sure, that we can all come to agreement that we don't call people racist terms, we don't call people misogynist terms. it's startling it's something we even have to debate, honestly. jon: judy, you have first amendment concerns. >> this is kind -- this is the city council resolution, but i have to say, when we start talking about what we're going to tolerate on the air and not tolerate on the air and it's a government agency speaking, whether it's the city council, or the u.s. congress, or the white house, that always makes me nervous, because censorship is not the answer to this

kind of foul language or sexist or misogynist language. what should happen is what did happen at the channel, which was those guys got suspended for seven days, they are now in cultural sensitivity training, everybody has been told not to do it again and hey, by the way, you might try hiring a woman because they only have one out of like 12 anchors, and you might try hiring a person of color. jon: but that goes to the slippery slope proposition here, kirsten, that the original resolution suggested that, you know, this particular radio station only had one female on-air personality and all of their on-air personalities, none included african-americans. >> right. well look, i understand what judy is saying, and you don't want the government to be getting involved in censorship, but because this doesn't have any sort of legal force then i don't think there's a problem. and it's -- like i said,

they're sort of stating the obvious to me, you know? it should be obvious that they shouldn't use the term that they used to describe whitney houston. and i think the problem that you run into, of course, in these situations, is that people tend to be selective about who they get outraged about so you might have a democratic city council that gets very outraged about right wing radio hosts but not so much about people on their own side and vice versa. so that would be a concern of mine. however, it has no legal force so i don't think there's really any slippery slope to go down. jon: but in all major cities, judy, there are all kinds of stations, playing all kinds of ethnic music. should a station that primarily is geared toward the african-american audience, should they be required to have a white d.j.? >> no, they shouldn't be required to have a white d.j., they shouldn't be required to put anything on the air anymore, because everybody has a choice, but i think the choice is key here. and that is it's the

listeners' or viewers' choice. if you don't like what you're seeing, if you don't like what you're hearing, shut it off. don't go demanding that the city council start passing resolutions, because my only concern, and with kirsten, i agree, this is only a kind of sense of the city council resolution, but you don't want this slippery slope towards censorship. freedom of speech is so -- we want more debate and discussion but civilize dollars dea bait and discussion. jon: judy miller, kirsten powers, thank you both. be sure to tune in tomorrow, 2:30, i'll be hosting news watch, talking about the biggest stories. >> we have pictures from the surface of the moon to show you. next, how the artists behind these shots are students in a classroom right here on earth. for the first time in decades, no spring training in to hisson.
