[phone dialing] [line trilling] >> hello? >> hello, marcus? it's peter and steven. we didn't like the way that ended. we'd really like to get together with you and talk it out. >> uh... >> we need to know where we stand and we really want to know exactly where you stand. >> i'd like you to sit down and talk to my father. >> okay. >> all right. bye. >> after our disagreement yesterday, steve and peter called me. they said they talked to their dad and we should all meet. i'm hoping that their father has convinced them that it's time to step it up. >> this is my father. >> how are you, sir? i'm marcus. so what is it that you guys wanted to talk about? >> i mean, when you and i shook on the deal, i told you that i didn't want to give up control of the company. >> when you guys did the handshake and we looked back, we would have done things differently. we want to be in charge of our own destiny, but if we agree to all your deal points, you're in charge of our destiny. >> my deal with skullduggery is for 30% of the ownership. i made sure that deal came with financial control. i did that to protect my investment, and now all of a sudden, i'm hearing that they have a problem with some of my deal points. the deal points are very simple. i don't want you guys to take on additional debt without my permission, and the reason that i don't want it is 'cause i don't want to get back into the same position. i don't want anybody to change their salaries without me knowing about it. because if the company starts making money, and all of a sudden, you take your salary from 60,000 to 600,000, you could essentially suck all the earnings out of the business. what was the number one deal point that didn't sit well with you? give me an example of something. what are you prevented from doing that you want to do? >> let's say i did want to pay myself $600,000. >> i would say, "no, you can't." >> i know you would. >> and i'm not gonna budge on that. i'm not gonna budge on the debt. not gonna budge on the executive salaries. my motive is that if the company makes money, i don't want to find out that it's turning from profits to salary and bonus and i have no control over it, and as a 30% owner i don't want to wake up one day and find out that all the money's gone. >> i guess ultimate veto power is a little bit hard to take. >> that's the hard part. i mean-- >> i think at the end of the day, if i'm just reading between the lines, honest to god, you just don't want to have a partner. what you guys don't like is that you have to talk to somebody about it. >> we don't like the fact that you can say no. >> i--you're asking me to throw a million dollars in and be subjected to whatever fate you decide and have nothing to say.

joe joe -- the vice president is in russia delivering a warning saying we need to stop talking and start acting. john bolton is here to talk about if he thinks the words will do anything. and first, new fallout over the keystone pipeline. you have a top labor leader calling the president quote gutless. welcome. i am martha maccallum. >> and i will bill hemmer. the membership says the president's decision to delay this pipeline is political. >> tucker carlson is here. good morning, tucker. he called the president gutless and said this whole move of delaying the keystone pipeline was a low blow to the working men and women of our country. interesting words from a big union. >> a union that is very close to the democratic party and close to the clintons and democrats decades and decades. his true base isn't the working people that the labor union represents. canada is for thiss well. his group is a tiny group of donors in new york who are pressuring him not to approve this pipeline and in the end he is listening to them over the people he claims to represent. >> tom stayer seems to be pulling important swings in washington. he grouped these people saying they are the same people opposing minimum wage, health care, and protecting the right of working people to organize which is interesting because the unions are in favor. is there a growing divide in the democratic party? >> star is right. people by and large who are for the pipeline are not democrats. that makes it more striking that this union and others have broken with the white house over this. it is a really clear divide. this pipeline means jobs. this oil is moving out of canada, pipeline or not. by truck, rail or pipeline and what is the least destruction way of moving it? the pipeline. the president wants to raise money for a presidential library and in doing that he has been told according to reporting i have done that they will not go ahead with the library if he gives to the keystone pipeline. >> when you look at what is in the work in terms of jobs, union loyalty, breaking a divide between the unions and democratic party that could affect the eelectricerate. and when you combine this with health care because the unions are rattling the feathers over health care. they are saying we no longer have a work week that it was supposed to be so you have a double whammy. >> the democratic base is changing out from under us. the average democratic voter isn't a 45-year-old high school labor union. they are a 36-year-old single women who lives in newton, massachusetts with a masters degree. it is very different demographic than it used to be. >> thanks, tucker. >> troubling reports that south korea is building another nu nuclear weapon test site. >> reporter: the activity is similar to the preppations carried out before north korea's last nuclear test. the placement of a large screen over a tunnel at the entrance of the nuclear site and that might be designed to make it more difficult for united states and other satellites to see what is going on. south korea implemented an emergency task force and the united states stepped up surveillance. north korea maybe seeking attention and looking to make a point as the president arrives in the region. he is visiting japan and south korea and they will talk about how to manage the perceived threat from north korea. >> when they go forward, because they have done all of the technical preparations necessary. i think this could be soon. if it occurs while the president is in the region and worse if they do it while he is in south korea than we know they do disrespect the united states. >> any nuclear testing would bring tougher sanctions and cond condemnation. johnathan hunt, thanks. >>> there is a big fight going on in the supreme court that could change the way we watch television. they are challenging a start-up company that let's you stream networks online but doesn't pay the channels. how does aero work? >> you pay a fee and get access to all of the broadcast channels in your area. essentially any channel you get, if you put an antenna on your table you can watch it on your tablet. you can pull it out and watch channels 2, 4, 5 or 7 and pay the $8 a month. broadcasters say it is ripping off the copyrighted material and selling it. >> the networks pay for the development and production of these shows. and what is the argument from aero that what they are doing is legal? >> this is where it gets interesting. aero has quite a set-up. it has thousands of little antennas that pick up these broadcast signals and assign it to a dvr. so they are saying they assign a pairing and antenna to each customer. they are saying they are a glorified dvr service and they are charging a fee for that equipment and taking a broadcast signal that is available publically and as a fee recording the program you want to watch. the broadcast networks say this is a scheme that allows them to get around copy right law. oral arguments in an hour and they will probably decide this one in the summer. >> this is a fascinating case to watch. >>> general motors seeking protection against the lawsuits regarding the ignition problems saying they are not responsible for the cars sold with the old gm in 2009. they emerged after the $50 billion bailout and taxpayers lost about $10 million after the shares were sold in general motors. >>> vice president biden is in kiev and brought $50 million and a strong warning to russia. reaction from john bolton. >> and secret memos on drone strikes against terror suspects. >> and tens of thousands of drug offenders could be walking free after the attorney general announces new guidelines. we will debate that fair and balanced. >> we pay a high price whenever the system doesn't give justice or ensure those who paid their time isn't given the chance to be productive citizens. in the nation, it's not always pretty. but add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance... ...and we'll replace destroyed or stolen items with brand-new versions. we take care of the heat, so you don't get burned. just another way we put members first, because we don't have shareholders. join the nation. ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪ >>> word from the supreme court. you saw rich on the steps. we got this decision in a 6-2 vote the supreme court ruled the lower court in michigan had no authority to set aside an aff m affirmitive action law for the college admission in the state. 6-2 ruling that the lower case didn't have a court or standing to rule on it. so a big deal there. full analysis throughout the day on fox of that. >>> the united states is starting to talk a bit tougher it seems on russia. the vice president is in kiev and told moscow to quote stop talking and start acting. the obama administration says they need to encourage them to put down their weapon and leave several buildings they have overtaken. and they promised $50 million. >> this isn't a manhood issue of obama. this is an issue of complete absence of thinking. this administration do not have a strategic idea in their idea. he said about ukraine this isn't a cold war chess board but of course it is. >> john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the un. is charles crad hammer right about that? >> sure. the real question is why are we paying attention to what joeaid? they have seen the administration's weakness and the notion we announced $50 million in aid -- this is chicken feed compared to the debt they owe to russia for oil and gas and what it runs up week bye week. this is meant to show political support but reveals the weakness of the policy. >> john mccain says you need to send domestic weaponry and come up with a plan for strategic energy freedom. that the a better plan? >> you have to ask what will ensure sovereignty for the people of ukraine so they can make up their own minds on what they want. the only real answer on that is going back to what george bush proposed and that is put ukraine and georgia on a path to nato memb membership. i think that can be done quickly. i think the energy independence would be great if we had a president who believed in hydro carbon in this country. i think the vice president should be in berlin persuading them they ought to be worried about the march over the boarders. >> i want to go back to the sol

actually, it's a microcosm of what we've seen this group do since president obama put his hand up to take the oath of office. we are living in the age of obstruction. that's what the history books are going to say years from now. republicans in congress have blocked virtually all legislation supported by the president of the united states, before the 2012 election, you know it, mitch mcconnell the made the republican mission very clear -- >> our top political priority obser over the next to years deny president obama the second term. >> it's still there. he's not running again. republicans failed to make president obama a one-term president. they failed on a lot of fronts. . they are blocking all of the president's legislation out of spite. on wednesday, it unfolded. republicans voted down equal pay act for women. who is against that? who is against that? republicans. i mean, this clearly polls in the majority, this is what americans want. f fund-raiser president obama slammed republicans on their blatant obstruction. what he said behind closed doors to folks, you you would think it's a controversial proposition, yet republicans in the senate uniformly decide to say no. the president went on to say, you've got a congress right know that is solely focused on obstruction because they think it's a good political strategy. it's about power, folks. i've told you that all along. the president is right. republican obstruction is a uniformed political strategy right now. they don't have any plans to let up. this is the way 2014's going to be. let's do more. in a committee meeting on wednesday, over on the house side, house republicans, voted against considering bills on minimum wage. majority of americans want that. mine safety reform. workers rights, worker production. republicans are against that. and they also voted down further discrimination protections for gay americans. they won't quit, will they? only republicans would vote against bills to keep workers paid and safe. keep in mind, those four bills were blocked on wednesday alone. now if you look back further, the record is very clear on obstruction. i think it's obscene. this chart, this chart of bills recorded in the congress, congress has passed, this is how many bills since 1947. there's the chart. last three blue lines on the right are congresses unpresident obama. since republicans took control of the house, number of bills passed has dropped through the floor. 2013, boehner and his obstruction, well, they did nothing. it was the do nothing congress. they passed a whopping 58 bills. 2013, the least productive year in congress sense clerks started keeping records. that chart is proof president obama is the, not one of, the most obstructed president in the history of the united states. meanwhile one major bill president obama did get passed, of course republicans want to repeal that, obamacare, doesn't matter if it's on a roll, they want to get rid of it. 7.1 million americans have health care because of obamacare, no preexisting conditions, no lifetime limits on coverage. if you stop there, it's great. people like the law. it's here to stay. the republicans continue to run out of fear. no one wants to take away your l health care more than this guy here, mitch mcconnell talking about repeal from day one. >> if i had my way about it, we'd repeal obamacare and start all over and get it right. one escape hatch that will fully help those trapped by this law. and that's full repeal. >> time for democrats to stop trying to defend the indefensible and join republicans in wiping this colossal legislative mistake clear off the books. hoping to have a vote on repealing obamacare. we believe it's appropriate to are that vote again and we'll be working to get that kind of vote in the near future. thanks a lot. >> the man is in a complete state of denial. we did vote. it was called 2012 election. but if you look at his back yar, state of kentucky tells a very great story. kentucky governor has embraced obamacare. i think this gentleman has set really the stage. set up the state exchange and the latest numbers from his state of kentucky show that 402,000 people have enrolled in obamacare. that's not a small number. that's a huge number for a relatively rural state. so what are we dealing with here? first of all, the republicans are showing us their play book. there's no secrets here. if they get power, this how they're going to run the country. this should be a wake-up call. what i find interesting, everywhere i go, we showed you a chart where "the ed show" has been first three months of 2014, i keep hearing people talk about turnout. i keep hearing it on the radio. here it is april of 2014, and democrats are talking about what's in front of them. they're talking about the obstruction. they're talking about the middle class more now than ever before. the political conversation is about we got to get out there in november because this isn't the mark we want. i never hear people talk about turnout around the country as much as they're talking about right now. we hadn't even hit summer yet. i fine it encouraging. get your cell phones out. tonight's question, do republicans care more about obstruction or americans? text a for obstruction, b for americans. 67622. go to our blog. we bring you the results later on in the show. a man who can tell a totally different story from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. let's go to the governor of kentucky, good to have you with us tonight. first, let's get this basketball thing out of the way. congratulations on a great year. i know you didn't win the championship, but kentucky had a lot of fun this year, you've got a young group of players there. you're going to have a lot of fun for years to come. congratulations on your team. i want to ask you right at the top. >> thank you. >> you bet. how important are these latest enrollment numbers and how important is it for the country, the story that kentucky has to tell? 402,000. >> ed, it's been an overwhelming success here. and this is mid america. this is really where the rubber meets the road. we're out here in the middle of the country, not wrapped up in the washington, d.c., stuff that go on every day. people are working making a living. we've got 402,000 people who have come out of the woodwork since october 1 and signed up for affordable health insurance. there's a craving out here for affordable health care. families are looking to finally be able to take their kids in and to let them see a doctor. you know, we've had people for years getting up every day, going to work, and hoping and praying they don't get sick because they know they're one bad diagnosis away from bankruptcy now we have 402,000 who don't ever have to have that worry again. >> one big opportunity for america and it's going to take time, but i think this has been a great six months for the country. how does it make you feel, governor, when you hear mitch mcconnell say things totally different from you, from the same state? >> ed, i think that he and rand paul get in a room by themselves and talk to each other, and then they go out and announce that they've been talking to the people in kentucky, and they don't like this. well, the numbers tell a different story. 402,000 people apparently like this. and they -- we signed up 30,000 just in the last seven days. so, you know, it's a different story. it's working here. people want it. these folks, you know, they are bored in on the issue and that's all they've got and they know that. so they're going try to make it as big as they can. i tell you the issue that's going to beat mitch mcconnell this full, it's just what you talked about, ed, obstructionism. people are sick and tired of it in washington, d.c. latest poll that came out, you know, the president's not very popular here, 34%. well guess who's at 32%, mitch mcconnell. people are sick and tired of him and sick and tired of this rank partisanship that has washington in its grips. >> alison grimes is running on fixing obamacare. you could fix any law in washington. is there enough good in obamacare in the state exchange for her to be able to be successful to defeat mitch mcconnell? >> i sure think so. ed, let's face it, people here are liking what they're finding when they go on our exchange, when they go on our telephone, toll free line and sign up, i mean, people come up to me every day, many with tears in their eyes to say thank you for letting me get afford health care for myself and family. the first time they've ever had it. you know, in a generation here, ed, it's going to make a huge difference for our people. we've got horrible health statistics now and they've been horrible ever since they started keeping statistics. finally, this tool is going to let us transform the history of kentucky in terms of health care. >> governor steve beshear, great work. you're leading the country. appreciate your time tonight. thanks so much. we'll do it again. let me bring in e.j. dion, columnist for "the washington post." let's talk about obstruction. i want to read a quote from president obama from last night. he said, obstruction may actually be a good political strategy for republicans if democrats don't vote in the midterms. i mean the president is openly saying, i'm the most obstructed president in the history of the countrier. is that going to wake people up? what do you think? >> i think what you said earlier is really important, i can't remember an election cycle people were talking about turnout early in the cycle. what matters is that you've got a lot of democrats who might not vote so much in offyears realizing that there are big stakes in this particular election. the senate is on the line. i thought it was really good you had governor beshear on, who has done an extraordinary thing in kentucky. when talk about obstruct, we're not talking about congress. we're talking about all of the governors, mostly republicans who refuse to help on obamacare. if you had every governor in the country saying, i may not have liked this or did like it but this is an opportunity for the people of our state, let's put our shoulder to the wheel here, you would have many more sign-ups. 4 million, 5 million people who would be eligible for medicaid if 20-plus governors hadn't refused to take the medicaid expansion. there is a lot to talk about here. but turnout is the issue, the democrats lost big in 2010 because the other side was energized, mobilized and angry, and the democratic side wasn't ready to fight. and the real question this year is if they will do something a little bit differently than they did in 2010. >> e.j., historically, not to date you, you have covered politics for a long time. there has never -- >> i'm used to it ed. >> okay. there's never been this level of obstruction. and i think that, you know, if representatives on the republican side vote for minimum wage, it's not going to hurt them. if they vote for equal pay for women, they can go home and make a case that there is no war on women. if they vote for long-term unemployment, it's affecting everybody's district. these are issues that poll well everywhere. so why would they take this level -- take the obstruction to the level that it's not now at a history ic proportion? >> it's interesting, i was talking to a former republican congressman earlier today who made the point that at this point in the party's history, because of the way district lines are drawn and because of where most of the republican representatives come from, there were very few of them, from mixed districts, from suburbanish middle of the road districts, a lot of those representatives might like to vote for men mmen minimum wage the opportunity but the power in the republican caucus shifted to the right, well to right where it was when newt gingrich was speaker. think about that. so you've got a house caucus that does not want to bring any of this on the floor, because it's true that if minimum wage came up, it would win. i think there are a lot of other measures that, if they could get to the floor, there would be enough republicans joining democrats to pass them. immigration reform is another within. but power in that caucus keeps obstruction going. it does. the tea party, quarterbacking this whole thing, no question about it. okay. does the president keep talking about this? i mean, everybody knows he's not going to be whining. they may call him the whiner in chief because they're not going along with his legislation. this does aggravate people, this obstruction. it's a fairness issue. is this fair to the people who voted for president obama? is this fair to americans when we elect and re-elect? is this going to be a motivating factor. >> i think that democrats need to not only talk about obstruction, but really present a compact, but clear program to try to lift up the middle class and to try to stop the wage stagnation. i think they need to go aggressi aggressively, not only do people want to vote against the other side, but they have a sense that with minimum wage and some other things -- and i think they need other things -- they'll say, i want to vote to make my life better, and i don't think we're there yet in terms of hearing that kind of argument. i think health care should be linked to that, rather than running away from health care, affordable care act should be linked to the part of a way of saying, here are the things we're going to do so ease the economic insecurities of middle class people. and i think they make it part of a larger argument, they can win the argument. >> great to have you with us tonight. appreciate your time. americans are frustrated with what's going on in washington, they just can't block everything, or can they? answer tonight's question at bottom of the screen. share thought is with us on twitter. like us on facebook, thanks so much. >>> coming up, there's plays into the election. neen na turn or of ohio, how difficult conservatives have played it to vote in ohio. going to hamilton county. first, bob corker, he gets served. the latest for the fight of volkswagen workers to unionize. so she could take her dream to the next level. so we talked about her options. her valuable assets were staying. and selling her car wouldn't fly. we helped sydney manage her debt and prioritize her goals, so she could really turn up the volume on her dreams today...and tomorrow. so let's see what we can do about that... remodel. motorcycle.

i think it's unprecedented that a governor and a sitting united states senator are subpoenaed to talk about a vote in front of the national labor relaxs board. how significant is this? >> i don't think there's any doubt, regardless how this turns out this could be a landmark case. from my perspective as a journalist, this could be very interesting to watch. for example, there have been a lot of questions about who was behind the effort to oppose the uaw in chattanooga. there are rumors about the koch brothers, for example. so we have the possibility here that not only could we have political officials, the governor, the u.s. senator, but also people like grover norquist sitting down, under oath, having to answer questions who is providing money and why. so that in and of itself could be interesting to watch. >> could this evolve to an investigation that would do maybe even some forensic, to see what's on everybody's computer? i mean how do we know everybody's going to be forthcoming with these documents because they are trying to connect the dots on exactly what kind of activity and what kind of deals were cut before the vote? what about that? >> certainly no hint of any forensic examination that could come in to play. certainly you have the power of a subpoena. you have people being called to testify. you have the power of a subpoena saying we want you to produce these documents. for example, that 300 million offer that tennessee governor bill haslem's administration made to volkswagen in exchange, they wanted to say in volkswagen's relations with the uaw, we got the information because of a document that was leaked to us. there is no doubt in my mind that there are lots of other document out there that would shed a lot of light into exactly what happened. so there's at least the chance that to the power of subpoena we might find out a little bit more about what was going on. >> do you think we'll get detailed? are you expecting detailed community indication on senator corker's involvement? >> certainly we have been able to obtain a limited amount of communication that indicated that senator corker's office was communicating with the activists who had been brought in to oppose the uaw. again, there is no doubt in my mind, that there are even more communications that we did not receive. we received those through a state agency. senator corker's office would have other communications that i believe probably do exist. you know, they may make the case of uaw. they actually, you know, there's a possibility that it could make the opposite case. so we don't know until we see them. the question is, will senator corker, will tennessee governor bill hasl. produce documents in response to the subpoena. >> will we see the governor and senator testify under oath. >> that's what the uaw would like. indications are now, though no one said this per se, there is every reason to believe that they probably will fight the subpoenas i mean, we have a real clash of ideologies here. >> sure. >> you have some people who believe that strongly as you do, and people on the other side who believe just as strongly. i don't think that anyone is going to unilaterally disarm here. i think there's going to be a real fight before we even get to that stage, before we find out. >> do we know if grover norquist has been served with subpoenas? his involvement in this from an act everybodyist standpoint? >> absolutely. he's on the list of 20 people or organizations who have received subpoenas. i reached out to him through twitter today and asked if he had any comment. and have not heard back from him yet. certainly, the uaw lawyers would love to get grover norquist on the stand and question him about why he was involved. >> all right. phil williams, investigative reporter, wtvf, in nashville. great to have you with us tonight. appreciate it. >>> still ahead, voting righted under attack in the state of ohio. we'll take you on an exclusive ride-along. this is what it's like. after 50 years, after the passage of the civil rights act, the battle for racial equality continues. michael eric dyson, professor, joins us to discuss more. i'm taking your questions next. transferred money from his before larry instantly bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron.

here's the story from ohio. >> reporter: when republicans in ohio ramped up their efforts to restrict access to the polls, state senator nina turner wasn't afraid to speak up. but nina turner isn't just mad. she's trying to get elected. turner is running against john housted for secretary of state in ohio. i asked what motivated her to run and all or nothing campaign. >> hamilton county, for example, a vote to move the board of election from a centrally located place in downtown cincinnati to a suburban area that some folks estimate that if somebody had to catch the bus, it could take them up to two hours one way. >> he cast the deciding vote this afternoon. local democrats opposed to the move because it limits number of people who can take advantage of early voting. >> two hours one way. even when they got off the bus, they would have to walk quite some distance. >> reporter: we took the trip with senator turner to see how long it would take. ♪ >> we are -- it has taken us about an hour and ten minutes. we got on the bus at 9:09. that bus didn't leave until 9:19. here we are, an hour and 15 minutes later just getting off the bus, and now walking -- >> half a mile -- >> walking to the polling place. the entrance to where the place will be. we still got to walk back there. where are the sidewalks to walk on? >> no sidewalks. >> no sidewalks. >> this is reprehensible. we simulated the best of all situations, right, weather is perfect, right? bus was on time. we didn't have any major challenges. imagine the reality in october, november, if i have a stroller, wheelchair, trying to cart things, bus is not on time i miss my transfer. even in the best scenario, we got here in an hour and a half, hour, 45 minutes. for what?

"way too early". can the ladies do it tonight is this we'll talk about it coming up. but we start with oscar pistorius who is testifying this morning for the second time in his own trial at this stage. prosecutors are hoping to shed more light on the relationship between pistorius and his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. and speaking to the court, pistorius said, quote, if anything, i was more into her at times than she was with me. pistorius also tried to explain a text message previously cited in which steenkamp stated, i'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and of how you will react to me. pistorius defended himself by saying, quote, it was a bad day in our relationship. i think i was just being sensitive. maybe i felt a bit insecure, jealous. i wasn't kind to her like i should have been. the dull amputee runner is accused of murdering his girl friend last year on valentine's day. >>> officials are shedding new light on what may have caused that deadly shooting last week at ft. hood. the u.s. army says the rampage followed a dispute over a request by the gunman ivan lopez to take leave from the post. officials say lopez got into arguments with fellow soldiers in his unit over that request. however, they did that state whether lopez was granted the leave or not. the army has also released a detailed time line of the shooting spree which left three dead and 16 injured. authorities say lopez first opened fire in an administrative building before getting in to his car. he then traveled two blocks, shooting at whomever crossed his path. officials say the attack unfolded within a matter of minutes. >> the entire scenario lasting approximately 8 minutes from when the first 911 calls were received until the shooter allege aedly took his life and we received calls that the shooter was down. at this point in the ongoing investigation, we have collected more than 235 pieces of evidence. we believe the subject fired more than 35 rounds of .45 caliber ball ammunition. >> president obama and the first lady are planning to attend a memorial service at the base tomorrow. >>> now let's get to developing news overseas where there are new concerns that russia may make another move in the eastern part of ukraine. overnight ukraine's interior minister says the pro russian protesters were driven out of the country's second largest city. just hours earlier, protesters set fires in front of a regional assembly building. police had to chase the demonstrators away. about 70 were arrested. pro russian protesters seized control of a government building. the demonstrators asked putin to send soldiers to the area as peace keeping forces. however, the white house is saying there is strong evidence that many of those protesters were paid to be there. the events bear a strike resemblance to what unfolded in crimea last month prompting a warning from the obama administration. >> if russia moves in to eastern ukraine either overtly or covertly, this would be a very serious escalation. we call on president putin and his government to cease all efforts to destabilize ukraine. and we caution against further military intervention. >> meanwhile secretary of state john kerry says he will hold a new round of talks with top officials from ukraine, russia and the european union over the next ten days. >>> the senate is pushing forward a bill to stepped benefits for the long term it unemployed. the bill passing 59-38 after three honesmonths of back and f. if it can make its way through the house, it would retroactively restore benefits to workers. president obama praised the bill, but john boehner remains skeptical saying he'll only take up the legislation if it creates jobs. >>> a recent poll found 52% of americans have never heard of the koch brothers. senator harry reid is doing everything he can to change that. >> mass car fans can easily find favorite drivers by simply looking at the cars as they fly by. because there are corporate emblems on the hood of the car. here in the senate, we don't bear any commercial logos. >> in case that wasn't enough, his office tweeted an image of men in suits covered with the koch name sake on it. reid had come under heavy fire for his continuing bashing of the group calling the brothers unamerican. >>> also in politics, jeb bush knew he was stirring up quite a backlash when he said many immigrants come to america illegally as an act of love for their family. so now senator ted cruz of texas responding. >> no doubt immigrants come to this country because they're seeking a better world and they're seeking a better life for their kids. and all of that is positive and beneficial. what isn't positive and beneficial is breaking the law to do so. and -- >> he said it's not the a felony. >> in my view, we need to be a nation that welcomes and celebrates legal immigrants. >> bush said it wasn't a felony, but still a crime. senator cruz was also asked about 2016, whether an establishment candidate would be good for the gop. >> you know, i do think there are folks in washington who want to peck the party's nom me. and they inevitably want to pick a nominee who they think won't rock the boat. and in my view from the perspective of a republican who believes we need to win and we need to win because the country's on the wrong path because we're facing enormous fiscal and economic challenges, i think the only way republicans win is to have a candidate who runs as a strong conservative with a positive hopeful optimistic message. that's the path to victory. and i don't think washington elites will be very effective picking the nominee. i think it will be quite rightly a decision for the grass roots to pick. >> is jeb bush a strong cop ser cop serve difference? >> that's a question for the voters. >> some say bush has recast the race. smith writes the notion that skreb bush will be the nominee is a fantasy nourished by the people who used to run the republican party. bush has been out of a game that changed radically during the 12 years since he last ran for office. >>> coming up on "morning joe," ben smith will debate politico's ben white who went on twitter yesterday with a different take on jeb bush's prospects. so don't miss that. >>> senator elizabeth warren is trying to capitalize on an unforced error made by congressman paul ryan. recently ryan made these comments about innercity poverty on bill bennett's radio show. listen. >> we have got this tail spin of culture this our inner cities in particular of men not working and generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and culture of work. and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with. >> so ryan

joe biden. joe the biden, as we like to call him. he's the only contender with foreign policy experience. the negatives, some gaffes, some comments here and there. he also doesn't project this kind of this is fresh, this is new, this is different. he's a white guy. >> we have to be talking about the entire list except for elizabeth warren is white men. hillary clinton really makes history if she wins. it would create excitement in the feminist base for sure. and i think the women that were activated and excited about her candidacy, the two sooik ls ago would be excited if she were to run in 2016. this is pure sexism talking about whether being a grandmother would get in the way. >> o'malley has beefed up his resume. he has a pretty good record in terms of progressive caught in the minimum wage in maryland. he doesn't have the kind of name recognition. i think we can show you in a poll in the state of maryland, he is not doing so well in a matchup against hillary clinton. she actually outpolls him by pretty dramatic numbers. 72%. these are maryland residents. let's see, o'malley, 6. >> if he were to rename himself, he might do better in these polls. i think there's space for martin o'm o'malley. there needs to be someone to the left of clinton. there will be a lot of progressives hoping for the left of clinton. if but among the group of democrats who have embraced income inequality and pushing for progressive policy, they are going to want someone to go in the field and say, listen, even while we supported hilary, we have to keep our eye on the ball. >> the thing that strikes me too when you look at o'malley staking out a progressive tone, it's governor khocuomo who has backed off. he's upset progressives, the minimum wage, there was one increase, but new york city can't make another increase. he's done some things on campaign finance that things were disappointed about. he's the one person who thought was to be the other progressive option, but i think he's gotten himself in trouble. >> or maybe he didn't intend to be in the presidential role in the first place. i think he's just destined to disappointed. we have waited for fathers for decades. it's not going to happen. it will just move along. someone asked where mario cuomo. the whole thing is we're really just talking about who is ready to step in if hillary clinton is not running?

>> they would split up. there's no obvious likely person o fill that role. i was at this same point in 2006 saying there's nobody possible to take on hillary clinton. so take this with a grain of salt. we're beyond that now. the only thing that can stop her is her own decision not to. her operatives will parcel themselves out among the various joei think i will take a long vacation. >> absolutely. >> do you want to weigh in? >> elizabeth warren could come in and be excite iing. i think she has that style that we liked in obama that excites the base. saving social security being a big issue. but she doesn't have the infrastructure. so i don't. -- she's not going to run. those two things make me think that hillary clinton -- >> let's be honest. it doesn't matter if they say they are not going to run. there's always a way out. i have been drafted, the people want me. plenty of them. >> the real question is she a grandmother?

7% said, yes. does congress maybe things -- make things worse? 72% said, yes. that's really not a lot of support for congress. >> that's putting it lightly. those are abysmal numbers for congress. i think people feel like the political system is polarized and isn't working for them. and the numbers you just ran through, i think, are symbolic of that. part of the issue here is especially when we're looking at the rest of 2014 is if you thought congress was bad in 2013, 2014 is an election year where there's going to be a lot of posturing -- gerri: i can't wait. >> yeah, well, the democrats in the senate have said we're not going to pass a budget. ryan-murray, that counts as our budget even though it's not really an honest to goodness budget. they're basically abandoninggov. of course, the republicans in the will do the same, and they'll try to make sure they get their vulnerable people reelected which might be good politics, but it's not really necessarily responsible governance. and that's why i think the polls look the way they do. gerri: before you go here, i want to show folks some of the things congress is less popular than. >> uh-oh. gerri: root canals, head lice, nickel back, colonoscopies, that's a good one. cockroaches, france. brussel sprouts. you get the sense here they don't have a lot of support out there. but i'm like you, guy, who everybody loves. thanks for coming on the show. >> head lice is more popular than congress? gerri: high hurdle. >> i'm a cynic. gerri: at least you can get rid of head lice. >> oh, true. gerri: you can. they go away. all right, guy, thanks for coming on. appreciate it. well, an unusual warning today from the federal government. stop using the internet. the warning is for folks who use several versions of microsoft's internet explorer browser. a security flaw could allow hackers to control your pc. here with the details, jo ling kent. tell us about this. >> reporter: essentially, there was an explorer on versions 6 through 11, so the computer emergency response team coming forward and saying, look, please don't use these, use an alternative until that's closed because the security breach actually allows hackers under the team of operation clandestine fox -- which is the name of it -- [laughter] to impersonate you or impersonate the company that has access to a networked computer. so it is a pretty serious -- gerri: who's going to get hurt with this though? is it companies? is it individuals? >> it's both. and, in fact, if you run in windows xp which a large majority of computers still do -- gerri: the one that's in front of me. >> yes. you actually can't get it fixed, and that's the problem. microsoft earlier this month decided to stop servicing windows xp. so that's the real problem here. they usually issue security patches the first tuesday of every month, so microsoft -- that's known as patch tuesday, so when they put out a security patch, so we may get it as may 6th, but that's, again can, not for windows xp. it's a pretty difficult situation for microsoft right now. so the federal government, dhs saying use -- they didn't say mozilo or chrome, but those are the two main alternative browsers. gerri: wow, that's not good news for microsoft users, and that is a lot of people. >> it is a lot of people out there, and it's a situation that it's hard to prevent especially if hackers get more and more sophisticated. gerri: which they do every day. and, unfortunately, our government is not. joling kent, thanks for coming on. and still to come, are you attending a wedding this year?

[laughter] like, this is the very kind of thing that individual investors say, oh, my lord, you're killing me here with the details. hillary, what should we be paying attention to? >> the big picture. bank of america, wells fargo, the investment banks like goldman sachs, you want to be there. today is a buying opportunity in bank of america. 6% was completely overdone. $4 billion, but it's a $2.2 trillion company in terms of assets. gerri: david, what do you say? >> well, i still believe regardless small investor, medium or large investor, there's nothing wrong with taking some winnings off the table. we've just had an incredible compression rally for the last five years, and i'd like to say it's okay to take base hits, but when you get a double or a triple, that's like finish. gerri: i want home runs every day. okay, maybe that's not realistic. i want to move on to the pimco story. saying that, you know, there wasn't a big fight with bill gross, the founder of pimco. actually, he was prepared to leave and ready to leave. dan, what are we missing in this story? i don't think we're getting the real story here. >> it's amazing that this is making news. [laughter] anytime there's a disruption in the markets when you have partners at the helm, people running it, the bond market's had a run for 30 years. and eventually it's going to turn. so when there was some turmoil in the last year, year and a half, there was probably some problems in there like every other major managers we've heard about that split up, and it just got aired, and, you know, it's just basically -- gerri: that was ugly though. i mean, there was some really nasty comments. >> it's not really something from him. he's kept his mouth pretty quiet about it saying i'm going to spend more time with my family and look for opportunities. he's getting out at the top. >> people like bill gross who manage trillions of dollars and who have been so successful have personality issues. and it's just normal -- [laughter] and we just have to accept them -- gerri: i love that. >> he's eccentric. gerri: he is. and you're saying that's okay. >> yeah, absolutely. mohamed el aryan probably didn't understand that. probably in an ego sense that the two just couldn't get along, and they clashed. gerri: david, i think everybody and their mother owns a piece of pimco, and this is a company that really matters to our viewers. what are you telling your investors tonight about this company? do you like pimco, and what do you make of what's gone on with the leadership there? >> well, i think what dan said a moment ago is correct. we have had a 34-year tailwind with the bond market that could very well be about to turn into a headwind. mohamed is a very smart man, obviously. and in one of his interviews, i can't remember which one, but he said something to the effect of broadening his horizons, and don't quote me on exact words. but when i heard that i thought, gee, maybe he's actually venturing out and focusing on a different part of the market overall. so to answer your question, for me i've been steering people away from bond funds kind of as a matter of course. gerri: well, i mean, look, you've got to think that that could be the next bubble in the marketplace. dan, i'll give you a quick word on that, and we're going to have to go. >> on the bond market? well, i think the treasury market's pretty solid. the banks are buying that because they need the capital, and that's what we're seeing with this bank of america issue. i think the corporate bonds are risky. i'm looking for a deflationary environment. gerri: apple's coming out with a $17 billion bond offer. >> yeah. gerri: there's another way to get it out of buying the stock. >> you know why? because most of their money's overseas, and they announced the bond, excuse me, stock pieing-back program, and they're going to pay dividends. they don't have enough money in the united states to do that. this is a common practice from a tax effect because congress can't get their act together, so they're issuing bonds. they need the money to paytive depends in the united states. gerri: i wish i could pull something like that, you know what i mean? if i could reduce my tax burden by -- oh, well, i depress i can't -- i guess i can't. great job, all, appreciate your time. >> thank you very much. gerri: stories you're clicking on on foxbusiness.com, a wild day for the market aztec and bank stocks sold off, the nasdaq at one point lost more than 1.5%. it recovered some of those losses by the day. pending home sales rose 3.4% in march from the previous month according to the national association of realtors. it's the first jump in nine months. toyota moving to texas, the company today said it's bringing several operations from around the country to a new headquarters in plano. it's a big win for texas which will be adding hundreds of well-paying jobs. and los angeles clippers' sponsors are pulling out after an alleged recording of owner donald sterling in a racist rant went public. the mass exodus includes carmax, state farm insurance, red bull and others. the nba says it will make an announcement on tomorrow about its investigation into the alleged recording. and those are some of the hot stories right now on foxbusiness.com. >>> still to come, my two cents more and why a couple's big day is leaving their guests cash-strapped. are you spending too much money on other people's weddings?

>> so i look at the national average of a wedding on average, and, you know, according to our study, the not real wedding site is 13,000 people. the average cost of a wedding is going up. the average is $30,000. gerri: why? >> for that it's all about, it's about, you know, honestly -- gerri: you know, we talk about how there's no inflation. here it is right here. people are seeing increased costs for food, everything associated with a wedding. it doesn't a have to be what you're buying for your household. >> a lot of people are investing in a brunch or afterparty, and the cost really does add up. and i'm also not surprised on the guest end because a lot of is your lodging and your flights and things like that, and travel costs are on the rise as well, and so are destination weddings, so with that comes much, much more spending even for the guests. gerri: some of the people i know here at fox business, a lot of the young women are attending six weddings this year, ten weddings this year, i have no idea how these women afford it. so here's spending rising, guests spend $109 on average, up 16% from 2012, and if recipient is part of your family, the cost doubles. but that doesn't include if you're traveling for that wedding, having to buy a hotel, put gas in the car. then there's the present. on and on it goes. you said something interesting to me in the break that if you are invited to a wedding, you're super special year, why? >> it's true. well, the average size of a guest list have gone down year-over-year, so consider yourself very luck question if you've been -- lucky if you've been inviting because a lot of couples are cutting the guest list and splurging more on their guests. transportation more likely to be included, shuttling you from the ceremony to the reception. if you've been invite today a wedding, make it your vacation because that's the only way you can make sure -- gerri: that is a great idea. listen, can you get away with turning town one or two of these -- down one or two of these? if you're invited to ten weddings and you have to travel for each of them, can't you just kind of prune, not do them all? >> yeah. i mean, honestly, no one says you have to go to the wedding. there are ways to save -- i don't know, if you're going to ten weddings, you might want to prune. but going in on a group gift, looking for hotel block discounts. honestly, if you know you're going to be invited to a lot of weddings, put a budget aside because it really does add up. gerri: it does add up. it's amazing. i like that idea. thanks for coming on. great to see you. >> good to see you too. >> we'll be right back.

>> well, we don't have -- we have details. we look, we say how is that going to translate into intentions? are these intentions going to translate into actions? we think they are. 22% said they intend to hire. less than a handful are going to cut back. that's thet best we've seen in two years. they're going to raise -- a third say they're going to raise compensation. i think the numbers are pretty good. i think we'll get the first taste ofhe it tomorrow morning with the jobs report. i'm at 225,000 drop in the unemployment rate to 6.6%. in general, i think the small business survey of pnc supports, as you said, a spring thaw and better rest of this year. >> guys, there's two ways to measure economic data, one is from the bottom since the crisis and the other one is from '07. very few metrics we follow are back to their precrisis levels. that's why i thought this was a legitimate piece of optimism, not that i was questioning your survey. but if you look at these numbers here, if you go back in terms of economic optimism, those who are optimistic about the economy getting up or near the '07 level, certainly taking out some of the lowest levels and even taking outn some of the highest in the recession, that's one. two is when you look at sales expectations, the other thing. three, you didn't talk about this yet but the notion of raises and salaries out there. >> yes. >> which is, i think that's maybe the biggest piece of actual econ data in this report, that they'll give raises to their employees. >> one-third, mention is quickly, one-third say they'll increase compensation and a little smaller number say they're going to increase hours worked. i dors think we'll see, you kno some more wage increases. we talk about that 22%, we talk about w full-time employment. the results of a smaller increase in part-time employment but i think you're right. some of the most optimistic numbers we've seen since late '06, early '07 and definitely some of the better numbers we've seen on pay raises, at least all this is planned. we'll have to see if it comes to fruition. a good positive sign going forward. >> stew, the other thing is that when you guys -- as a small business has been a big missing element from here. one of the things missing from small business has been t capit spending. business have been doing okay, keeping up their end of the bargain but small business has been reluctant here. what are you hearing about the capital spending outlook, about their plans to invest and ability to get loans to do so? >> another increase, we have 67%, two-thirds that say they'll do capital investment. the last couple years that number t has been around 50 to 55%. that's a significant increase. and then when we dig a little bit, we find technology, particular pcs, computer software and hardware. that's where the money in technology will go. two out of three plan to do investing in their companies when we ask them why, we find they think f their sales, as yo mentioned, are going to be up. it reflects the greater optimism about the outlook for sales and profits in their company. i can tell you from the fed's point of view what they'd like. when we ask them about price hikes we still only see about 37% say they're going to raise prices. even of those almost half say 2% or less. so i don't see in this any signs of any acceleration in inflation or certainly nothing beyond what the fed's 2% would tolerate, indeed maybe supportte the fed' point of view they'd like to see more inflation as long as the numbers still isn't above 2. >> very quickly quarterback your outlook for growth this year and when is the first rate hike from the fed? our outlook is first quarter growth is around 2%. we think it will be 3%, 3.5% this quarter. close to 3% the second half of the year, i think the fed keeps tapering, another 10 billion at the end of april. our first rate hike is not until the fourth quarter of 2015. >> okay. thanks, stew. >> thanks, steve. >> one other benchmark we'll ht this week, i think, almost any job growth at all, we'll get to the level of private sector employment in '07, the peek. we'll finally surpass it. we've been below it. now we'll come back up to that level on friday. >> we'll take that to the bank. >> nice. >> yes. >> there you go. that's you, joe. >> you couldn't come up with this. >> burgundy?
