>> a new study says those who drink three or more cups of coffee a day lessen their chance of death. >> and a guy suing his mom and
3:01 am
dad with a $200,000 lawsuit. he blames his parents for leaving him homeless. he says it's their fault because they raised him in a poorhouse hold and didn't above him enough. >> earlier in the show we asked you about a new study that finds that the silent treatment is the best way to deal with an obnoxious person and we asked you how you deal with it. >> he said ignoring them one option but just telling them they are obnoxious is better. >> danny writes obnoxious people are happy with just being acknowledged. repie to who they say with, yeah, right. mocks and friends starts right now. >> good morning,
3:02 am
>> the lead investigator for oscar pistorius, the lead investigate are is facing murder charges himself. it may change the case entirely. >> official numbers are in and it's the largest gas price hike in years. what's the president's solution? he says useless oil. is that the best he's got? and it's the question that has eluded men for centuries. why do women talk so much? >> don't look at me! i know men who talk a lot too. >> brian, you are fired. >> this morning the scientific answer. we bring our new beeker. "fox and friends" starts right now! >> all right. on this thursday morning we are in. >> you are looking live.
3:03 am
you are look live at the classic car auction in florida. >> wait a minute. we are talking about oil. what are you doing down there? >> there are about 80 cars up for auction at the classic car auction. we are outside west palm beach florida, the money goes to wounded warriors, veterans of foreign wars and homes for our troops. we will have fun and take you down memory lane in a bit. >> what are you doing under the car? >> and i'm going to go wash my hands. >> ms. good wrench. >> and people can trial work on their cars. >> you knew where the spark plugs were and how to change the oil. >> how many summers did you spend as a way to make ends meet in college working on cars? >> yeah, i don't blame her. >> are you asking me? >> yeah. >> oh, i don't even know where
3:04 am
the oil is on this thing. >> you are in the right vicinity. >> or the sparkplug or the gas. we have three hours so hopefully we will figure it out. >> the headlines. last night five people killed in a plane crash in georgia. two others hurt when the small jet overshot the runway and crashed into the woods in augusta. >> we heard noises and the dogs were barking and we couldn't figure out what they were barking at. it was like a boom. the power flickerd off and on. >> the pilot was one of the two purchase receivers. investigators aren't shoe why it crashed. >> just moments ago, a suspended contract with oscar pistorius. the runners murder case taking a twist over the night. leading investigator also himself facing attempted murder charges over a police-involved
3:05 am
shooting. prosecution said it had no idea. not sure how that could be. this comes as the third day of his bail hearing gets underway in south africa. a ruling could come today only on the bail. we told you the story yesterday. now we know what caused the freak hospital fire that left a little girl burned. a mix of hand sanitizer, olive oil and static electricity left the girl with second and third-degree burns. oil was being used to remove medical testing residue. she's battling cancer and will undergo a second skin graft today. a blast in kansas city like set off by a construction crew working underground hitting the natural gas line. one woman worked there and 15 others injured. i think she's still missing.
3:06 am
others are in the hospital. those are the headlines. >> that's unbelievable news about the blade runner. to think the state above a prosecutor that has this background that money did a background check on the guy prosecuting the would-be murder. >> and suddenly the world is on it and they are investigating everybody. >> he is being investigated for murder and they put him in charge of the case. >> premedicated murder. >> and we will have it coming up an hour from now. >> the sequester is looming. if you listen to the president of the united states it's pretty much the end of the world. life as we know it will end unless the republicans cave and give him more tax -- rather more tax increases for the wealthiest people. but when you look beneath the numbers you realize that with this gigantic budget we've got, you are only talking about 2.3% of the budget. the other important thing to remember is it was an invention
3:07 am
that the sequester is of this president of the united states. he was before it before he was against it, which kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it? >> the interesting thing is that, you know, the republicans going to be on the hook for this one again because as we discussed before,s message. >> no, no. >> because if the president gets his way. he's been successful in blaming the republicans in the past and that's how he got the tax hikes before the end of the year so he's obviously going back to the same messaging. >> how can he be on the hook for something he invented? >> the messaging has been effective for him. i'm not saying who is right or wrong, i'm saying the messaging has been effective for him. nobody is going to argue with the fact we need to try to cut our budget because we way overspend effort think what makes this a complicated issue is people in the military will also lose their jobs. >> furloughed. >> and that's what is making the issue complicated. >> they are talking about a way to save money in the pentagon
3:08 am
and they will furlough the civilian workers one day. also the president put together a way to delay the whole thing for a couple of months but that doesn't make sense. and so far boehner has been effective in saying mr. president you came up with the idea, you solve the problem. and yesterday instead of the president picking up the phone and working with local leaders, he called local stations and did local interviews. if you get the sense we are moving from one crisis to another, you are not crazy, you are right. it's just hard to make sense of how many different things could kill us. here's rush limbaugh yesterday. >> have you of if you listen to obama and his minions in the news media, they are all running neck and neck. maybe ought to explore some sort of sequester control because it's out of control. he wanted the spending cuts a year ago, now he doesn't want to go anywhere near the spending
3:09 am
cuts but it's his plan. sequester was his idea. now he's complaining that these cuts will hit the wrong people. but he is the guy who decides what gets cut. that's not part of the sequester. obama gets to decide within certain frame works. we know the defense gets hit big, which is fine with him, by the way. and one of the reasons i think he wants the sequester to go through. this is perfect. perfect example of my theorem. obama gets to complain very things he caused. and about cuts that he will choose. >> that's right, rush. >> greta opened up last night with take place and clips saying in 2011 the president denied that he even came up with the he is quester. bob woodward on sunday said i interviewed the president and he came up with the sequester. >> the president in the past in the house have passed two different measures that would change the sequester but they have been ignored by the
3:10 am
president and the democrats in the senate, as well. here's the thing. whale the white house is trying to walk away from it, there's a senator from montana, he's a democrat, max, and he went off the reservation yesterday when he revealed, oh, yeah, the president, he's responsible. listen to this. >> the president is part of the sequester. the white house recommended it frankly, back in how long, 2011. -- august, 2011. now we are feeling the effects of it. i don't want to say the president is solely to blame,'s not. >> the original thing was to key it up, the idea of draconian cuts for both sides. cuts the democrats would hate, cuts the republicans would hate, so that they would come together and solve our debt ceiling crisis, folks. that's how it started. what frustrates americans, this one included; the fact nobody can come together anymore and solve thing. nobody can come together. it was what, 18 months or two years ago they came up with this
3:11 am
idea and we are still sitting here now looking at these deadlines as we do every single time and nobody gets anything done. this is why congress has the approval rating -- amazingly why the president's approval rating remains high and i'm not sure why because he's not compromising. >> the president of the united states, it is his invention. what they could say is mr. president, thank you for inventing the crazy sequester thing because it's not our idea but finally we may get some spending cuts going forward. >> but they don't address the real problem. >> of course not. >> they don't address entitlements, folks. but these are issues that we really need to be talking about as a nation. not 2% cut in a $16 trillion deficit. >> that's my point. this could be the only time in the next four years there are any cuts so the republicans probably would be wise just to say, okay, not the way we would do it, but let's go ahead and
3:12 am
take them. mr. president thanks so much for the scheme. >> and they had a plan in simpson-bowles, a bipartisan plan them went out on monday and talked again about the need. we thought we were fixing my grand children's problem and now we are fixing our problem. that's how bad things are with the economy. and president proposed a $50 billion stimulus practice to rebuild highways and tunnels and fix things with no way to pay for it while doing local interviews so it's relatively frustrating. it's also frustrating that linked-in as joined facebook and others not paying any taxes besides record profits. maybe these guys pay a little bit on their profits? >> people look in and see washington and they are talking about a 2.3% cut and the president is talking about how the sky is falling. remember most americans, by a
3:13 am
gigantic margin, think we have a spending problem in this country. you say washington is on a spending binge. so going forward, once it hits, and it will his on march 1, how many people are going to actually be sympathetic? >> the amazing thing is the president's approval rating is the highest since 2009. >> that's the cognitive disdense. one of the things, of course, that really affects the economy and how you feel about it, gas prices. have you noticed that they are really high right now? they are the highest they have been in the past three years. so take a look at this. the national gas price average right now, $3.78. i believe that's a 44-cent raise in just the last three weeks or so. this is the new normal. have we all agreed we are willing to pay this? i don't feel good about paying this but this is what i think is our new normal with regard to gas prices.
3:14 am
>> basically the president had some local interviews yesterday and was asked about the rising gas prices. which is the ultimate tax on people's income. he said useless oil. really? so i should jog to work? i'm not sure that that means. when the prices went up this quick this much under president bush, the president of the united states thought it was a national crisis. listen. >> the well-off in this country, high gas prices are mostly an announce, but to most americans they are a huge problem. bordering on a crisis. >> so if you want to save money useless oil. just stop driving. don't go anywhere. stay in your house and watch television. >> it reminded me of the blue brothers and john belushi got caught with the tire. and why is it going up? some say it's a blend problem. >> because of epa requirements. anyway we have a busy three hours kicking it off with the block straight ahead.
3:15 am
he was the man who killed osama bin laden but now he's fighting a different battle against the pen gone. why the defense department is investigating a hero ex--seal. >> the former democratic governor of new jersey could get booted from wall street for good. that's coming up next with stuart barney.

3:17 am
3:18 am
>> welcome back, everyone. 17 minutes after the top of the hour. former governor jon corzine was a go-to guy. >> literally the first guy i called was jon corzine.
3:19 am
not a joke. not a joke. first of all, he's the smartest guy that i know. >> well, the smartest guy that joe knows may soon be slapped with a lifetime ban from futures trade for his role in the collapse of mf global which he basically skated on. stewart barney is here to explain. lifetime ban is big news. >> yes. he has serious enemies, including two top financial regulators. what they are saying about corzine and a lifetime ban. and john row, he doesn't need to be near anyone's money ever again. and 134 life time bans have been imposed since 2008. corzine has done more damage than all of them combined. he's not popular. >> let's remind what happened when he was head of mf global. what happened? >> he made a big bet on europe. he bet that europe would turn around.
3:20 am
it didn't turn around. they lost their shirts. and he was accused of co-mingling his company money with client's money. that's an absolute no-no. he lost $1.6 million. couldn't account for it. >> he still can't find it >> they still can't find owl of it, that is true. and a lot of people, especially the future traders, they lost their shirts. >> a lot of people have been to prison for this kind of stuff. >> elizabeth warren, the new senator from massachusetts, a financial regulator herself back in the day. she wants wall street people to go to jail. so if you are asking me should corzine be banned for life, i say ice not my call, go ask elizabeth warren or ask the voters of new jersey where he was the governor and senator from new jersey and left with an $11 billion deficit for the state of new jersey. and them if he should have a lifetime ban. >> and the president was talking about the fat cats on wall
3:21 am
street that didn't pay the price while the middle class burned, he's one of the the if a cats. why doesn't he call out his buddy? >> joe biden, he is well-connected. he has raised a lot of money for their campaigns. >> what are the chances he is banned? because he's trying to start a new hedge fund now. >> i think the chances are pretty strong actually. it's not my call whether he is or should be, but the odds are he will be banned and that would stop him from trading again, stop him from starting the new hedge fund. >> anybody who gives him money after his track record should be ashamed of themselves. if you have to care about people's money you don't give it to the cowboy on wall street. >> within this administration nobody is accountable for what they have done in the past. >> barney and company coming up in the past. you are accountable for that show, right? >> at 9:20. >> i apologize. so defensive. >> all right, go have some tea
3:22 am
and a little crumpet. >> it's coffee for me. >> that's why i love you. >> it's the question that has eluded men for centuries. why to i always have to read this? why do women talk so much? we have to get the scientific answer. why is it that you talk so much, gretchen? >> because i can? >> because you can. i am going to leave it at that. ♪ ♪ if loving you is wrong ♪ i don't wanna be right [ record scratch ] what?! it's not bad for you. it just tastes that way.

3:27 am
fishing describe. richard is the president of the northeast fishery section three. he's one of the many fishermen speaking out. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> explain this to us. last year the federal government declared your business a disaster? >> yes, they did. >> why? >> we've been rebuilding the cod stock since 1992, and this year the revouch vessel that the fishery service owns, the henry big low, could not catch any cod fish. it's happened every seven or eight years the cod leave this region and they come back. they could come back tomorrow,we don't know. but that's what's taken place. they so the secretary of customers declared it a disaster. >> so this is what the federal government is proposing. we have a graphic we are going to show. they are proposing a 77% reduction in the cod that you are able to fish, and also a 60%
3:28 am
reduction of flounder. if that were to go through, richard, what would happen to your business? >> the entire fishery between the gulf of maine and georgia' banks, they would be put out of business. there might be a few that would be able to purchase everybody. everybody's quota and stay in business but essentially it will limb the small boat fishery forever. >> here's the thing. and you know this, but apparently the federal government does not." you explained last year they sent out a fishing boat and couldn't find cod. explain for our viewing audience, richard, what happens with cod every couple of years for some unexplained and unknown reason? >> cod come into these waters not only to spawn but to feed on a certain feed fish. this year there's been no feed fish in the place and they have left. where do they go? they go to iceland, norway, we have no idea and the science can't tell us that. the science is sketchy to start
3:29 am
with. it happened before and we are positive the cod fish will come back. when they come back the entire fleet will be tied to the docks and the people of this country will be purchasing fish from other countries as they do now. >> that's crazy when we have great fish up in new england we could be buying. richard, ultimately what do you want to see happen [i would like to see the congressmen who have been pushing for disaster relief, which we praise them, they are doing a fantastic job, we would like to see president obama step in and help the northeast region with disaster relief immediately because we've got -- we've got men now that have not had pay collection in -- paychecks in months. with the new rules starting may 1st, we will be totally out of business. >> and your message is you have not overfished, the fish have gone elsewhere and they have been doing this for a long for a very, lore long time.
3:30 am
>> that's right. the flounder stocks are increasing and they are still giving us 60% reduction on our flounder stock which is devastating to every sector of the business. >> all right. richard, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. speaking of fish, you may be paying for snapper and getting tilapia instead. a new study shows fish fraud is off the scales. and could she about our next one? we go behind the scene for the latest 007 car. ♪ [ride sally ride ♪ lobsterfest is the king of all promotions. there's nothing like our grilled lobster and lobster tacos.

>> did you hear about this story? idaho executive joe hunley made headlines he used a racial slur and then he slapped a toddler on a delta airlines fault. he was charged with assault and he also lost his job. but the incident happened on his personal time so does the employer have the right to fire him? let's ask fox news senior analyst. this is obviously a case where he can be fired, correct? >> the short answer to this is, yes, the employer has the right to fire him. but his employment relationship is governed by a contract with his employer, if he has one. if he doesn't have one, then
3:56 am
it's governed by the law, and the law says he's without a contract, he's an at-will employee so the employer can fire him for any reason because of public policy. can't fire him because of his age, race, gender or beliefs but you can fire him for being a jerk, you can fire him for being rude, can fire him for being disrepute to his company, and you can fire him for slapping a baby and for using the "n" word. without question you can fire him for that. >> if he doesn't have a contract obviously the private company can do whatever they want to do with him. if he did have a contract, does it change anything? >> the contract would then govern the circumstances under which he could be fired. now, i haven't seen his contract because it's not available to us. it's unlikely that this kind of nonworkplace behavior would be insulated, that is he could do whatever he wants out of the workplace and still enjoy his job. meaning the contract probably gives his bosses some leeway. the typical executive contract,
3:57 am
and think of any ceo, lloyd at goldman sachs, would allow his bosses, the board of directors, to fire him for some behavior that brings disrepute to the company? some behavior unbe coming the ceo of a company. i'm going to guess if this character in idaho has a similar contract, there's similar language in there and that's the wiggle room he has. >> we live in a litigious society. would this guy, if he's fired, which he has been, would he have any kind of a case to try to get his job back? >> probably not. even if he's acquitted of the charge of using the "n" word -- actually he's not charged with using the" n" word, he's charged with assault. even if he's acquitted of the assault, he can still be fired because of behavior that cause the disrepute to the company. not only can he not sue

successfully to get the job back, he can be sued for psychological injury to the child as a result of this awful public display. >> all right. judge -- >> and these things happen. >> it is a terrible story but thanks for braining it down for us. have a great day. >> you, too. >> and china accused of hacking into our nation's computers. if companies can't protect themselves, how can you? stick around. >> and a celebrity lookalike. can you guess would? here's a hint. think reservoir dog. new honey bunches of oats greek yogurt and whole grain. here we go. honey cornflakes and chunks of greek yogurt. i'm tasting both the yogurt and the honey at the same time. i'm like digging this yogurt thing. i feel healthy.

4:05 am
that is? >> brian: george bush. he left the spots there. >> steve: the department of defense officially yesterday notified 800,000 civilian employees at the pentagon that given the looming sequester, there is really a possibility that they are going to be furloughed. the way the law runs and the way the if you are slow sequester runs, it looks like they would be furloughed one day per week through the educational background of the fiscal year for a total of 22 furloughed days, where they don't get paid. there are a lot of people saying, this is really a bad thing. keep in mind, the president invented it. now he's standing behind it. he says the republicans have got to cave. but the president could change everything. if you were watching bret baier's show last night, he was talking about the transfer authority because the nature of the sequester is it's an across the board cut. all he would have to do is authorize this transfer authority and i'm sure the republicans in congress would do that, where you take money out of certain bucket, like in the pentagon, for conferences, and
4:06 am
then you put it over to payroll. the president could fix it, but so far he's chosen not to. >> gretchen: this is a big deal for 800,000 people, most civilians at the pentagon. it's furloughed one day every week, cut of 20%. interesting e-mails we received since we talked about this at 6:00 o'clock from viewers, they say that during this time employees will be unable to take another job due to federal restrictions. so it seems like they're going to be in a tough spot. i wonder how many calls will be coming into the white house today to say, mr. president, please try to do something about this. >> brian: right. also on top of that, the president essentially says let's just do this in a fair way. let's raise taxes on the rich again. >> steve: didn't he already do that? >> brian: he just it it three weeks ago. now he says he's going to go back to do that. for the long-term the republicans are saying, why don't we go back and replace the defense cuts with other domestic program cuts, including reorganizing medicare and medicaid. they also want, the republicans,
4:07 am
to balance the budget within ten years. i don't believe that is a criminal gesture, which will require far greater cost cutting than just the sequester. the president goes, why don't we just delay a little bit? i'll cut some farm subsidies and we'll do it again in two months we know that does nothing for the certainty we need in the economy. in terms of the height and danger, i think charles krauthammer put it best. >> this is the most ridiculously hyped armageddon since the mayan calendar. in fact, it looks worse than a mayan disaster. look, this, as you say, can be solved in a day, in an hour, by allowing a transfer of funds. it's incredibly soluble, easily soluble. the president is the one who wanted to propose it. he won't, of course, 'cause he is look for a fight and not a solution. >> steve: and ultimately he wants to make the republicans look bad and he wants to retake the house in 2014. that is his political end game.
4:08 am
>> gretchen: so with all these questions about the cuts to the military, general bob scales thinks that he has found a solution. here is the general. >> it's not the fact that the d.o.d. budget is going down, it's the way it's going down. nothing ask as badly -- is as badly handled as sequestration because of the shacks it puts on the service chiefs because moving money around, particularly when we're an army at war bus we have to be able to send trained and ready soldiers into the combat zone and remove those in the combat zone back to the united states before the stress of combat gets to be too much. we're the best trained military in the world right now, but the thing that erodes quickest in the military is training and readiness. soldiers lose their edge very, very quickly if they're not able to continuously train. >> gretchen: i do think this is interesting because it will come down to a battle of wills again.
4:09 am
here we are up against another deadline, march 1. same thing happened with raising tax before the end of the year. the republicans acquiesced to the president. if you're the president, you're thinking, i'll just play that game again and i'll pin the republicans down and they'll have to do this because i'll just tell the american people that the republicans just are against tax hikes, which is not really the whole story. but will it be that the president will actually have to take accountability on this one because it was his idea and will he actually have to be the one that budgets this time to try and save all of these jobs? >> brian: i just think the republican nesting is not strong. i don't think they go out and do it in a good way say their case that, they proposed two different ways to handle southwester and side line it, that they actually knew this was coming. they were very concerned about defense problem and it wasn't from them. john boehner sat on the side and said, you created it. you fix it. a lot of americans say, well, i see the president trying and i don't see republicans out there. >> steve: here is the thing, the republicans are out there and they're making their case and they do make an effective case
4:10 am
of what is looming and how the president could fix this right now today, just with the stroke of a pen. but he doesn't because he's out for politics and he's got a compliant national mainstream media. whatever he says, they put out there and that's one of the reasons why he's got a high popular iterating, because how many members of the mainstream media said you know the sequester was invented by the white house, right? >> brian: nobody knows that. he was denying that. >> steve: he was. >> brian: in 2010 that -- 2011, he's like, i didn't come up with this, and bob woodruff wrote it. he has all-time approval rating at 55%. 40% disapprove. all time for him back to 2009. for the republicans, they have 35% with a 55% disapproval rating. >> steve: today on the pages of human events, they say, and i quoted this earlier, they say rather than blame barak obama for inventing this and getting us into the pickle we're in now, the republicans should say, thank you, mr. president, for dreaming up a plan that finally has some spending cuts.
4:11 am
thanks for signing it into law. it's not much, but we sure appreciate it. and it's probably the only chance we're going to get to slow growth and spending in the government in the next four years. >> brian: the only problem is half of it's defense and you could argue that the only thing working in government over the last ten years has been the defense department. sure they could lean out a little bit. >> gretchen: you could also argue it's not really addressing the real problem in the country, which is the massive spending 2003 on these entitlement programs. come on, folks, we have to face facts that we got to do something about these big programs. not that we want to hurt anyone down the line, but for our age bracket, we know we're probably not going to see it, so let's just make the changes now so that everyone can have the best benefits moving forward. those are the big issues that nobody wants to address on capitol hill right now. that's what people are frustrated about. >> brian: how many times have i told new life when things go wrong, blame your parents. you guys think i'm crazy. finally the trend is breaking my way. >> steve: there is a fellow in brooklyn. >> brian: new york? >> steve: yes.
4:12 am
bernard bay, he's 32 years old, that man is. he filed this lawsuit himself. he is suing his parents for $200,000. he's blaming his parents for leaving him homeless and destitute because they raised him and his sibling in a poor situation. here -- in addition to suing his parents, he has a solution. all right. mom and dad, i know we don't get along of the but you should mortgage your house. you should get that money and you should then buy two domino's pizza franchises so the entire family can have jobs. >> gretchen: any judge that looks at this case, like how could you possibly go forward with this case and hold the parents still responsible? >> brian: is napolitano still in the building? >> gretchen: this would have been a great segment to discuss with him. he does say that his father, who is not his real father, stepfather, he alleges that he was beaten as a child, which is a serious issue. take that out of the equation, just because you were raised in a family that did not have a lot of means, doesn't mean you can
4:13 am
come back to them later on and say that's why you don't have any means. the parents, the mother says she did the best she could with what she had. >> steve: the mother also says, he's 32 years old! that says a lot for you. she says welcome to america. everybody in america has the same opportunity. don't blame the parents at this point. the choice is yours. you're an adult. i think if she had her choice, she would give him a time out. >> brian: i don't want to lead the witness. let's ask the people, is 32 a good time to sue your parents? do you think it's about time? >> gretchen: let us know what you think about that. you can e-mail or twitter us. coming up, the lead detective in the oscar pistorius case facing attempted murder charges himself now. so how will this revelation change the case? coming up next, a man who investigated hundreds of murder cases. he ought to know. >> brian: a dog taking the internet by storm and it's all because he has a celebrity look alike. can you guess? here is a hint.
4:14 am
think reservoir dogs.
4:15 am
4:16 am
4:17 am
>> gretchen: 15 minutes after the top of the hour. a bombshell this morning in the murder case of olympian oscar pistorius. the lean investigator in the case is facing seven counts of attempted murder stemming from an incident that took place in 2011. the investigator and several other officers apparently fired at a mini because they were chasing and drunk at the time allegedly. the new revelations as pistorius appeared in court for his third day of bail hearing. so how will the news about the investigator now play into this case? rod wheeler is a fox news contributor and former homicide vector and joins me live from washington. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: this is like the prosecutor's worst nightmare,
4:18 am
right? >> it is. there is two things that's very important in a homicide trial and obviously we're just in the bail stage here. but the prosecutor has to know that his main key witness doesn't have any issues that's going to come up. now, the issue that's going to come up here is the issue of credibility. that's what this is going to boil down to. one other thing, it's better to find out about this detective's past now versus when this case actually goes to trial. that would really be a bombshell. >> gretchen: the detective apparently walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, possibly contaminating the area, and you have to keep in mind that this is a very famous person that these murder charges are against, oscar pistorius. could the defense not also say, well, maybe this detective was jealous of him and made up some of the things that he found? >> well, why wouldn't the defense say that? the defense will say anything that they possibly can and i'll tell you, they're going to do a lot more digging pertaining to this particular detective and any other detectives that was on the scene. because remember, it's their
4:19 am
responsibility to paint a picture of pistorius as being the innocent guy here or at least the individual that was trying to proceed they can't himself, where by it's the prosecution's responsibility to show things contrary to that. we can expect to hear all of that come up. >> gretchen: we should mention this is a totally different kind of process than in the united states 'cause this will eventually never go to a jury. it will be in front of a judge. that's why you hear all the evidence right now. let's talk about some of the evidence. what do you make of the fact that there is going to be a big debate about the trajectory of the gun shots and whether or not business storeious had his blades, his fake legs on or not? is that easy to tell? >> yes, it is. real quickly, the way it's easy to tell, here is how we would determine this on a crime scene. we look at exactly how those bullets were fired and were they actually penetrated at the scene. in this particular case, the bullets actually penetrated the bathroom door in which this woman was in. now, if the bullets went at a downward angle, that meant that this individual, oscar
4:20 am
pistorius, must have been at a relatively high height when he shot the gun, otherwise, gretchen, the trajectory would have been at an upward angle. so that's definitely going to play in this. one other very critical piece of evidence here is that the holster in which pistorius kept his weapon was actually on the side of the bed underneath the bed, in which miss steenkamp would have been sleeping. well, if that's the case, that meant that he had to have known miss steenkamp was not in the bed when he went to get his weapon because he had to reach over to that side of the bed. that's also going to be a major piece of evidence that's going to come up in this case. >> gretchen: but yesterday it just seemed so amazing to me listening to this testimony because there was -- made it seem like pistorius was going to be for sure guilty and then they started punching holes in it, like the witness said she heard fighting between the two of them, was three to six football fields away. is this just a different legal system than we're used to or are these just mistakes? >> no, i don't think it's that much different.
4:21 am
i think it's very similar. you have to anticipate that like i said, the defense responsibility, they have outright poke holes in all the evidence, and the witness' testimony and they're going to continue to do that. but again, if the detective and the prosecution strictly stick to the facts and just testify to the facts that they found, they should prevail in this case. but again, keep in mind now, this is only the bail hearing. so a lot of this stuff is coming out at a time which if you do want to find out about these holes, this is the time to find out about it. don't wait until the actual trial because that could be a fatal flaw in the case. >> gretchen: all right. very interesting analysis. rod wheeler, thanks for your time today. >> sure, thank you, gretchen. >> gretchen: coming up next, china accused of hacking into the u.s. computers. so far nations top companies can't protect themselves. how can you? stick around. we'll try to help you. then behind bars and still getting paid. inmates getting unemployment checks and it's all on your dime i've been taking a multivitamin for years. centrum silver.

4:39 am
there you can see the snow moving into kansas and nebraska. see that pink stuff? that's freezing rain and/or ice, a very, very dangerous concoction that's going to coat the roadways in parts of missouri and arkansas. see that purple on your map? that's an ice storm warning for significant icing. the other part of this storm, i just want to point out, is we have the threat for tornadoes across the gulf coast. texas, louisiana, mississippi, up toward arkansas. hail, winds and tornadoes. obviously this is going to be quite a day in the weather department. we'll keep you posted from the fox extreme weather department. back to you inside. >> gretchen: good thing we have you on board. thank you, janis. the suicide of junior seau last year put a spotlight on the dangers of professional football. >> brian: is it not just the head injuries we're talking about? should we be talking about the whole body? a recent story highlighted the 15-year career of jason taylor. he would play through injuries with the help of drugs and even at one point, was hours away

4:41 am
nothing was work. i realized the more i walked around the house, the pain would subside. so i thought this is weird. i'm walking upstairs and i got to a point on the steps where i was comfortable. it's 2:00 o'clock in the morning and i've got a bunch of drugs in me trying to go to sleep and i finally got comfortable and found out if i stand up and sleep, i can do it. but if i had to lay down, i'd be in tears. >> gretchen: so there is a lot of discussion now about the nfl potentially being responsible for these head injuries. there is a class action lawsuit against them. as a form player, are you also saying that it is the players' responsibility because you willingly took those drugs to get back out on the field on sunday? >> i think it's both ways. we signed up for this. and i understand that. i understand there is guys that are in that class action suit about the concussions and the ramifications of the concussions. but i'm not one of those guys. we signed up for the damage we do to our bodies. we understand going in. never once have i felt this any doctor, whether in miami, new york with the jets or in
4:42 am
washington, never do i feel like a doctor ever put me in harm's way. he would tell me the information i needed to know. this is what you've done. you can do this much more damage or you can't do this much more damage. if you want to play bad enough, which i always did. i always wanted to play. great, doctor. you told me what's wrong. >> steve: would you ever lie to the doctor? >> yeah. all the time of the it happens all the time still. if you look at a case like san francisco 49ers this year where alex smith gets a concussion, he's playing very well. took that team to the nfc championship game last year. >> brian: went to overtime in the championship game. one step away from the super bowl. >> has to miss one game. kaepernick is put in as quarterback. alex smith never gets his job back. so if it happens to a starting quarterback on a high profile team like that, what does that say for the 50th guy on the roster or 40th guy? they'll hide those things. >> gretchen: would do you it all again the same way? >> i said this in the article, i would sleep on the steps again have a chance to live out my childhood dream, playing professional sports. i had the best job in the world

4:49 am
this industry from now through 2020. that's huge because of baby boomers. >> brian: now let's talk about a personal trainer. no one wants to work out alone anymore. >> it's bore to go work out by yourself. we talked about new york sports club on the show. this is personal trainers. they will train you, you don't need a degree to be a personal trainer. the money can be actually good. if you're good at this, you can make up to 100 grand doing this type of work. and the growth rate, 24% more than average right now as far as a sector, an outlook for a job and how well that will grow. you can make 14, 15 an hour, but again, that can go sky high if you're good at this and you don't need a degree. >> brian: then you have an automatic revel if you're very good. you'll get a ton of clients. retail sales worker, for example. >> yes. we talked a lot about this. lowe's, home depot, we got an e-mail from someone that got a job through the segment. you don't need a degree. you can help people with garden work, how do they pick tiles? you can also work at a clothing store, furniture store, auto,

median pay, 41,000 and up. 17% growth rate for this group. again, you don't need a degree. that's crucial. >> brian: this is something else i didn't know existed, veterinarian technician. >> yeah. veterinarians always have to go to school, get that long-term degree. but a vet technician doesn't. a couple ways you can play this. you may need to get an associate's degree. you may need to get training for two years. you can do that on-line. you can actually do on-line course work. get the associate's degree and then actually help the vet, does the puppy need a shot? do you need to hold the kitten while getting their nails done. >> brian: so do the german shepherd. >> exactly. but especially if you love animals, and i do. again, this vet medicine is expanding. you wouldn't believe it right now. 52% growth rate for this. and the pay, pretty good. up to 1, 15 an hour. 30 grand and up. that was in 2010. not even now. >> brian: it's really growing. >> yeah. >> brian: cheryl casone, we'll watch you on the "fox business" network.

>> gretchen: welcome back. we told but this story yesterday, now we know exactly what caused a freak hospital fire that left a little girl severely burned.
4:55 am
investigators in fort land have determined that hand sanitizer combined with olive oil, combined with static electricity fueled the fire. the 11-year-old was recover not guilty bed when the fire started, burning about 20% of her body. >> steve: exactly how is it something like that happen? we're joined by jennifer, editor at popular science. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: when you heard that story that this little girl apparently who had been using hand sanitizer started on fire, what did you think? >> it seems highly unlikely and yet, also possible. hand sanitizer is made up mostly of alcohol and that's a flammable fluid. so under the right conditions, it could catch on fire. >> steve: in hospitals, they have super hand sanitizer with a super alcohol content. >> hospitals use hand sanitizer that is 60% alcohol, which kills germs. >> gretchen: what about the olive oil? apparently they were using that as part of a treatment as well
4:56 am
to clear off residue of some sort. what is the connection between olive oil, the alcohol, and then static electricity? >> the combination of the hand sanitizer and the olive oil really provided a fuel for the fire. under normal conditions, if you use hand sanitizer, you rub your hands together, it evaporates. it should not catch on fire. if you add a source of ignition, like a spark from static electricity, the vapors, as it's beginning to evaporate, could ignite. but there shouldn't be any fuel source because the hand sanitizer is dried up. now, if you add that to hand sanitizer that's soaked into a shirt or bed sheet and olive oil, then you've got enough fuel. >> steve: like a grease fire on top of a stove. >> exactly. >> brian: people at home say wait a second. i want to make sure that doesn't happen to me. it seems a lot of things came together in this one incident. any advice you have? >> my advice would be make sure when you use hand sanitizer, use a liberal amount, but let it dry completely on your hands before
4:57 am
you then touch your shirt or a handbag. you should certainly just let it -- rub your hands together and let it dry completely. >> steve: also you talk about apparently there was some polyester involved. it burns faster than cotton does. i noticed in the notes you also talked about how 50 years ago, when somebody's house would catch on fire, it would take about a half hour for the place to burn down. today, how long? >> right, today you have about four to six minutes to leave your home if it's burning. that actually -- you're right, it's because we surrounded ourselves by a lot of furnishings that are made of poet yum-based products, our homes are built with differently. we use particle board walls. so they burn faster. they burn differently. they create more toxic smoke. when people are thinking about hazards like hand sanitizer, there are other hazards out there that are perhaps more potentially more dangerous and more omni present.

listening. some of them are probably in green rooms somewhere and they do need to get out there. it can't just be in front of these cameras. it's not just cable news where they need to take their message. they need to follow the footsteps of the likes of michelle obama who goes on every entertainment show. they need to force themselves on the rosters of these late night comedy shows and other venues where young people especially need to be educated. >> brian: i think john boehner should go on "red eye" tonight and we'll see are it goes. >> there you go, book him! >> steve: that's alternative thinking. michelle, we've talked about this before, the president of the united states has a very compliant mainstream media. so if his message is getting out there, it's thanks to the people in the press corps who are taking pretty much exactly what he's saying, putting it out there. you hardly ever hear anybody in the mainstream media say, did you realize the president of the united states invented the sequester? he was for it before he was against it? >> yeah. well, spread the word.
5:11 am
there are alternate ways to do this. social media. they need to use youtube and facebook and really get out to nontraditional constituents because these are the people who will bare the most of the burden in decades to come. everyone talks about saving the children and really, what is this sequestration theater all about? it's about screwing the children and they need to say it over and over and over again. >> gretchen: let's talk about the debate commission. they came out, the republican, one of them, on that commission came out yesterday and said that he believed it was a mistake to have selected anchor am candy crowley to moderate one of the 2012 presidential debates. of course, there was some controversy involved in that debate when she interjected -- many people felt on behalf of the president with regard to whether or not benghazi -- whether or not he had called it a terrorist attack or not in the rose garden. probably the most memorable moment. many people think it was a game changer. what do you think about this member of the debate commission now, though, saying that she was
5:12 am
a mistake? should they say that post-game? >> this is frank ferran cough who had a lecture to a conservative group and finally came out with this admission of the obvious. i think the larger problem isn't necessarily who this commission picks every year. as i've said before, and we talked about this on the show, during the campaign, an election season, this is a republican party problem because election cycle after election cycle, these people continue to sign on to a stacked deck. and then they act shocked when the obvious happens. and the fact that these liberal media panelists who pose as objective then run the cover for the likes of barak obama and the democratic party, i mean, it's insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over again. i think the next election cycle, what the republican party really needs to do is find a new venue inform not a bad idea.

>> brian: i would like to see bret baier or brit hume. that would be interesting. >> steve: over maybe on al-jazeera. >> brian: yeah. [ laughter ] they're going to have an expanding presence in america. they bought the current tv for 500 million. we know from al gore. now they're expanding bureaus. they want to get penetration. what are they trying to do in al-jazeera usa? >> i think the american spectator put it very well. this is a half billion dollars trojan horse for terror tv. just along with the rest of the domestic liberal media, al-jazeera is going to pose, put on a mask of objectivity. they're hiring so-called investigative reporters now at all of these bureaus and they're going to have an expansive reach into american homes. and i think it's incumbent upon those us who are very familiar with how al-jazeera abroad has cheerlead for terror that has taken american lives, that they
5:14 am
know who these people side with. >> steve: yeah. it will be interesting to see exactly when you turn it on what it will feel like. will it feel like the al-jazeera you watch in the middle east or will it just be some thing that has a subtle message? >> yeah. i think like i said, they'll have the pretense of objectivity and neutrality, but inevitably, the mask will slip and we can all put on our shocked face when is it does. >> brian: they're also trying to expand their reach in sports. especially with buying u.s. rights to u.s. soccer. it's fascinating to see what's happening right now. michelle malkin, always great to talk to you. we can find you on twitchy.com, right? >> yep. and on a sled today. >> gretchen: good for you. have fun. we'll check back in with you next week. coming up, our government just changed the rules for homeowners. soon you could be paying more for your mortgage and for longer. bob massi next on what you need to know about that. >> brian: a warning to everyone

>> gretchen: welcome back. 16 minutes after the top of the hour. president obama argued in his state of the union that homeownership is a key to helping grow the economy. >> part of our rebuilding effort must also involve our housing sector. right now overlapping regulations, keep responsible young families from buying their first home. it's holding us back. >> gretchen: what is holding us back? our next guest says it could be new costs and fees from the federal housing administration, the nation's largest provider of low down payment mortgage money. luckily we have real estate expert bob massi to explain it all for us. he joins me live this morning from las vegas. good morning to you, bob. >> good morning, gretchen.
5:19 am
>> gretchen: all right. so let's talk about what this will do, increasing monthly mortgage insurance by 10 basises points. >> this is a real major change i want our viewers to understand. there are several things i want to talk about. first of all, as of june of this year, june 3, any home that's purchased after it, if it's fha insured, now your mortgage insurance, gretchen, will be the life of the loan, which is a major change 'cause it used to be the once you get 22% equity or five years, the north insurance is gone. that's number one. number two, you just mentioned, the bases points on our existing nma will go up as of april of this year. about what they call ten bases points. that's where -- more dots homeowner. the last thing, as it relates to jumbo loans, they're going to increase it, from 3.5% to 5%, down payment on jumbo loans. these are things that our president just said.
5:20 am
it's making it difficult for young people to get into homes. guess what? it's just going to get worse. >> gretchen: but why? why are they doing this? >> couple things. if you read the statistics, fha has had to pay so many bad loans that they insured, they've got to get to the bottom line of the the only way they get to the bottom line is they increase how they do it. revenue. and so one of the ways they do that is by paying more mortgage insurance. but this one about the life of the loan, gretchen, honestly, when you sit down and calculate that, when you go buy a home and it's fha insured, we're talking about for the life of the loan, that's lot of money. >> gretchen: so what will this do to the prospects of people getting back out into the real estate market? because we've been hearing that housing starts are up right now. >> yeah, they are. i mean, there is some good signs. i don't want to be half empty. i really don't. there is some good signs. vegas is doing a little better. florida where we just came back, there is some good things happening. but i think we have to still be
5:21 am
realistic. that is i tell people all the time, for example, with the fha, they actually have some very good programs where you could get some fha conventional loans with no mortgage insurance payment. you have to put more money down. so one of the things i always say to people, find yourself a good mortgage broker or somebody that really understands lending to give you all the options on all the programs that are out there. gretchen, honestly, i'm not convinced yet that the bubble is over. i still feel that we're going to have some more foreclosures, there will be some movement here and there. but hey, if we have good news for homeowners, we want to talk about it. but these changes here are major changes, have significant monthly payment impacts on future homeowners of america that buy homes after june of this year. >> gretchen: bob, thank you very much for breaking that down for folks. much easier to understand now. have a great week. >> thank you. >> gretchen: next on the rundown, you're pay ago fortune

>> gretchen: fox business alert for you right now. a new weekly jobless numbers released. let's go to nicole petallides who is live on the floor of the new york stock exchange with a look at the numbers. good morning. >> good morning, gretchen. we're getting in these numbers. what we're seeing is a rise in claims for the first time in three weeks, which brings us back to the preholiday season levels. we've had rising gasoline prices. you have americans with now the payroll tax that they are facing. but we're watching those weekly jobless claims. on the first friday of each month, we get the monthly jobless numbers. but obviously we're seeing claims on the rise, which means more americans looking for work. >> steve: that's an interesting -- 363, they were expecting something like 355. so a little worse news. >> right. we got 362 versus 355,000. >> brian: very good. >> steve: now, there is something else, as you walk through the new york stock

5:36 am
it's racking up $24 million. one woman was saying how she paid $1,500 in these unknown fees, like other fees, service charges, usage fees, minimum monthly usage fee examines it comes from unknown names that you may not recognize. you should look through each line. >> steve: if you see something that looks unfamiliar, do you call that company or do you call your credit card company? >> brian: i'm calling nicole. >> all right. listen. don't call me. so listen, call everybody. call your credit card company. your credit card company doesn't want this happening. call the ftc. they are trying to nail this down. if it's on your phone bill, you call the fcc. call everybody so they can get to the bottom of this. it's really particularly a lot of people who took a cash advance or did payday loans. they are also heavily targeted. so if you have a big bill, you own a small business, you have a big family, lot of big bills, look at it line by line because these are types of things that they sneak in there without you knowing. >> gretchen: you just burned 500 calories from that walking.

enough maybe to pay for high gas prices. 3.78 the national average. gone up 44 cents in the last three weeks, i believe. where are we heading with this? >> right. it's painful at the pump. when you see gas up one cent at a time, one went, one cent, really adds up when the administration got into office, we were 1.89. so this is where it hits the wallet. you have money in your wallet, go to the gasoline station, you have nothing left. that coupled with the payroll taxes leaves consumers, gretchen, steve and brian, with almost nothing. wal-mart today is out with their numbers and they're saying they have seen a disasterous february sales. people are worried and nervous and just don't have the cash in their pocket. >> steve: and as the president of the united states said yesterday regarding the high cost of gasoline and oil, just use less of it. >> oh,. >> steve: i know. that's the advice from the top. we thank you very much. she's down at the new york stock exchange where things really get started in about 55 minutes from now. >> brian: you'll need a nap before varney and company this
5:38 am
afternoon. >> steve: thank you very much. it is now 24 minutes before the top of the hour and we've got a fox news alert. oscar pistorius bail hearing back in session after shutting down because of a threat outside the courtroom. what next? heather here are w new information. >> pistorius was rushed out of the courtroom and brought back in after a threatening letter appeared today. that just happened quickly and now they're back in session right now. it's the next day of that bail hearing. >> steve: do we know what was in the threatening letter? >> no. that hasn't been reported just yet. we'll see if there is anything meaty in there. it's expected a ruling on his bond could come as soon as today. so potentially he may not be held. we'll have to wait and see on that. this case taking a really remarkable twist overnight. the main detective who has been leading the murder investigation against pistorius is actually facing attempted murder charges. this with a police involved shooing that happened in 2001.
5:39 am
hilton botha, he and several other officers apparently fired at a bus that they were chasing while they were investigating a murder, again this happened in 2001. now, those charges were dropped against the officers, but then they were reinstated. this happened a few weeks ago prior to steenkamp's murder. the prosecution says it had no idea about this. now, earlier today on of course "friends," we talked to contributor, fox news contributor and former homicide detective rod wheeler and he weighed in. listen to this. >> obviously we're just in the bail stage here. but the prosecutor has to know that his main key witness doesn't have any issues that's going to come up. now, the issue that's going to come up here is the issue of credibility. that's what this is going to boil down to. but i'll tell you one other thing, it's better to find out about this detective's past now versus when this case actually goes to trial. that would really be a bombshell >> they want to all focus on pistorius and not on the investigator. that's what it's looking like is
5:40 am
going to start happening, at least today. they're going to try to discredit the lead investigator. he may be taken off the case. national prosecutial council, i think that's what it's called. things are different there. they said they're taking him off the case. the police are saying, no, wait a minute. you can't just take the guy off the case. so we'll see what's happening. >> gretchen: it's unbelievable that the prosecution did not know about this past of the prosecutor. seven attempted murder charges from 2011 and they didn't know about it. but i think the defense has done an amazing job of poke holes thus far. >> they really have. he just testified yesterday and having talked about how he believed that pistorius tried to shoot her as she was in the bathroom and that he knew she was in the bathroom. so major credibility issues going on. >> brian: the one issue the defense has not been able to handle is trajectory of the bullet. that they were high and he's 5' 10, he had his legs on. if they were low, then it goes with his story that he was panicked and he thought someone was breaking in. >> steve: a lot going on today. >> gretchen: thank you very
5:41 am
much. >> steve: we've got headlines. we told you the story yesterday. now we know what apparently caused a freak hospital accident that left a little girl severely burned. fire officials confirming that a lethal mix of hand sanitizer, 60% alcohol content, olive oil, and static electricity left ireland lane with second and third degree burns. the oil and alcohol created a fuel, which was sparked by the static. the little girl who is battling cancer is scheduled for a second skin graft later today which is her 12th birthday. >> gretchen: you may have paid for rare red snapper, but what you're eating is actually cheap tilapia. new report says fish fraud -- it's good, to. but but not if you're paying more ex opinionsive. fish fraud is off the scales. researchers found 87% of the snapper they tested wasn't actually snapper. >> brian: tastes like carp.
5:42 am
>> gretchen: the most frequently faked fish? white tuna. it was really the eel-fish called escargola. >> brian: it's been revealed the reason why women talk so much. researchers at the university of maryland found females are the more talkative sex because of a special, quote, language protein in the brain. women are said to have 30% more of the langtry enthan men. women speak 20,000 words a day. that is 13,000 more than the average man. >> steve: men only speak 7,000 words a day? unless they do a talk show. >> brian: absolutely. >> gretchen: i would be interested in knowing what janis dean thinks with that since she's the other woman with me today. what do you think about that? >> i know i have a quick minute for this weather hit. so it won't be as many words. but after the show, brian, call me. i'll take your call. i know that nicole said don't call me, but i'll take your
5:43 am
call. >> brian: never been rejected like that before. of course i have. >> let's look at the weather map so we can get all of the weather in in a quick minute. your satellite radar imry, we have a huge storm across the central u.s. we could see 18 to 24 inches in areas that haven't seen that kind of snow in a couple of years. zoom on in, see the pink? real pretty to look at, but not nice to drive in. you need to be off the roads if you live in arkansas, missouri, parts of oklahoma. that is ice. it's going to accumulate on the roads and power lines and the trees. fast forward, we'll see where we have winter weather advisories. there is your travel forecast. this is going to be with us for the next 24 to 48 hours. then see that moisture across the southeast? that could be the beginnings of a perhaps nor'easter for new england this weekend. so keeping us busy in the fox news extreme weather center. back to you. >> gretchen: thanks a lot. still ahead, are you sick of spending big bucks at the grocery? skip it. we're going to show you thousand literally hunt for savings.
