The news not all bad, not all good, well work through it for you everybody. Glad to have you with us on friday. Im jenna lee. Jon im glad its friday. Im jon scott. Employers adding 157,000 jobs in january continuing the slow pace of job growth we have seen in recent months and years. It didnt make a dent in the Unemployment Rate. In fact the nations jobless rate rising in january to 7. 9 , clearly not good news. That doesnt seem to be phasing wall street, though. Take a look at the dow, up more than 130 points, and approaching 14,000. Senior White House Foreign Affairs correspondent wednesday algoler joins us live. Reporter as one analyst put it the top line is not so good but the bottom line is really not so bad. The jobless rate ticked up a 10th of a point which is the wrong direction but a reasonable number of jobs were created and when you have the revisions of november and december Administration Officials say the past three months beat the average monthly job creation of the past two years. Private sector employers added 157,000 jobs last month, though 9,000 government jobs were lost. Most of the gains in healthcare and retail, though manufacturers added had a small gain. November and desiree viciouse and desire December December revisions. That is 200,000 private sector jobs each of the past three months. The economy added 180,000 jobs a month the past two years, which is 170,000 jobs a month less than many economists if not most economists would like to see, jon. Jon what is the republican reaction to all this. Reporter john boehner questioned the president s decision not to renew the khaert of hi charter of his jobs council. They didnt think much of the recommendation other than to fast track the keystone pipeline. John boehner said, quote this is the wrong time for president obama to scrap his jobs council and delay his budget. Month after month we see the same thing, high unemployment and more debt. 12million americans are still unemployed and its been that way for far too long. The president s advisers say its also the wrong time for the threat to let across the board spending cuts take the place of a balanced approach to deficit reduction. The chairman of the president s council of economic advisers said, quote, todays report is a reminder of the importance of the need for congress to act to avoid selfinflicted wounds to the economy. On the plus side there was a jump in hiring despite the uncertainty washington faced as it flirted with going over the fiscal cliff at the end of the year. Jon. Jon Wendell Goler at the white house krupb fg some number crunching some numbers for us, thank you. Jenna for more of a look at the 7. 9 Unemployment Rate well take a look a little bit of how the numbers really affect the average american. Right now the labor Department Says there are nearly 12. 5 million unemployed americans in this country. That doesnt include the socalled marginally attached. Theres nearly 2. 5 Million People who are unemployed who have stopped looking for a new job, that is the number that represents them, or the 8 Million People who are forced to work part time because they simply cant find full time work. Overall the jobless problem is expecting close to 23 Million People, and that is a number weve referenced quite frankly consistently over the last several years. Joining me is a editor and columnist at the wall street journal. We are taking a look at market. Right at 14,000. Market loves it. Dow jones above 14,000. The revision gs in the last few months in 2012 really give people confidence that there is in fact some momentum building in the job market. Construction jobs in particular up 28,000. That sector has been lagging for so long, jenna. The numbers are not great, right . We know they are not great but again its all about expectations, and at this point we are better than sort of the bad expectations we were sort of baking in in the end of 2012. Jenna you mentioned revisions. We get the initial number and the next month well get a revision, the next month after that well get another revision. Hopefully the numbers are giving us a more accurate picture of what is really going on in the job market. How do you think this is setting the tone for the year ahead, as far as what to expect to see in the job market . At least in the beginning of the stock market its been a stellar year for 2013. The equity market up 5 . This giving a boost out there. People are feeling that no, its not great, that its a slow growth return to sort of some sense of normalcy. We want to create tv sound bytes and tidbits and how the economy is doing. Jenna of course we do. The economy of 300 Million People just moves a little more slowly than that. At least right now id say the tortoise is moving, hes moving in the right direction general your big take away is not fabulous but positive that we are still seeing some sort of job growth in the economy. Right. One thing that is happening on a secular basis is that companies are really still not in the mood to hire. And forget about what is happening in unemployment or the financial crisis of the past two years. Technology, computers, software, all these things are frankly more efficient and more less costly than putting people into businesses. And that i think is sort of the bigger question were going to have to answer as a country is where does that role of automation and personal value come in to the unemployment situation. Companies are saying right now, readee rather put in machines. Jenna its interesting you mention that. When you look at the labor force and the number of the labor force weve seen that number drop, its at a 30year low. If we had the same amount of people that were in the labor force, you know, three, four years ago our Unemployment Rate would be above 10 . Sure. Re the people that have fallen out of the labor force simply will never return to the labor force . A lot of economists have done work on this. I think that is a fair point for a large number of these people. Jenna what happens to these families . Thats the tough part and thats the price of you might call it progress, or the cost of progress, because computers really are getting so much better at doing so many of the things that humans used to do, and so in some ways the financial crisis, and the credit boom, thats kind of a distraction from the bigger changes in how computers are changing our lives. That linting, i would love to hear the president talk about that, the people who are sort of making the decisions. Jenna this new economy that we are entering. The new economy. We talk about the wealth of facebook and twitter. A lot of ways that is putting people out of work too 0. Jenna interesting. Grosgrowth may be positive but also negative, a doubleedged sword. Great to have you. Thank u. Bill get back to outhank you skwro pbgz one death and several injuries reported. Turkeys Prime Minister confirming a homicide bomber launched the attack in front of the facility today killing a turkish guard. Amy kellogg live from our London Bureau with that. Amy. Reporter hi, jon. No one has yet claimed responsibility for this terrorist attack which obviously killed the suicide bomber, but also as you mentioned, jon, killed that turkish guard at the perimeter of the u. S. Embassy, and, jon, according to fox sources in turkey that attack also wounded a very well respected female turkish journalist who according to that source had been the first person, the first journalist to interview ambassador richardioni and he apparently has gone to visit her in the hospital. She is apparently in serious condition. It turns out according to turkish authorities that the bomber was a member of a far left militant revolutionary group called the Peoples Liberation front which initial here went off Turkish Military and military installations but in recent decades shifted to targeting u. S. Military and diplomatic personnel. Leftist groups are on the list of domestic security threats that turkey faces and they are known to periodically set off bombs. They are the last category initially suspected in there since there are alqaida affiliated groups very active in groups and kurdish separatists have been active. You have the war with syria going on at turkeys border. The bombing happened apartment the security checkpoint in ankarada which is 20yard from the main emce epl Embassy Compound and thats probably why no americans were injured. Its in the heart of the turkish capitol. Not far from other embassies or the parliament. This came as a great shock to many. Finally, jon of interest as well according to this fox news source in turkey, this Marxist Group that is believed to be responsible for the attack often uses wounded people as suicide bombers. It is believed that this bomber may have done time in jail and was released from jail because he was so sick and they believe he used plastic explosives for this attack. Jon obviously very important given the climate were in, but the thinking at this moment is that this was not alqaida related. Reporter exactly. Jon amy kellogg reporting from london thank you. Jenna it is the first day of february. Thats health and heart month. Youre supposed to wear red today. You didnt get that memo, right. Jon i didnt get the memo. Jenna one out of three women will actually die of Heart Disease. Its a really big deal when we take a look at our health, and also the health of all of our hearts. We will hell talk a little bit about brandnew studies about whether or not you should be vegetarian. Im looking at you jon. Whether you should have those Energy Drinks or drink that coffee, well dig a little deeper on that. National red day heart month. Well watch for that. Also february means the super bowl, right . Super bowl sunday. And you know were not just waiting for the games we are waiting for the commercials too well have a preview of what you can expect to see this year coming up next.

Campbells soups give you nutrition, energy, and can help you keep a healthy weight. Campbells. Its amazing what soup can do. Jon right now all kinds of anticipation for the super bowl this weekend. For some though the big game is all about the commercials. Many of those spots already released online if youd like to look them up. Dennis neal of the Fox Business Network has a preview for us. Reporter here comes the biggest live event in the world and some of the best and worst of madison avenue. Some 37 sponsors, doritos is the big one, its going to run two ads created by snackers themselves. Here is one contender a rather hilarious billy goat grutf. The superstars are using online gimmicks to extend the impact of the 3. 8 million that brands will pay to cbs for each 30second spot. Mercedesbenz is in the ultimate tees. 5. 7Million People watch this sudsy number on youtube featuring Sports Illustrated siren kate upton. Mercedes will run a different ad in the game with only a fleeting glimpse of kate. That is a rip off. And body spray pulling an ambush. All yearlong old spies has been a presence in nfl games. It wont be in the super bowl. Here comes in ax body spray with buzz altkrep aldrin ad which some have barely heard of. That shows the downside of using viral marketing ahead of time to unroll your super bowl ad. This guy shows a very white guy at work cajoling colleagues in a very jamaican accent. No worries, man, everything will be all right. Yeah, man, dont fret, sticky bun come soon. Yeah. Reporter the carmaker taking a beating online, complaining of racism. The bigger issue is how will this sell more beetles. Jenna the super bowl also known as americas biggest betting holiday isnt us just the only thing that vegas is placing bets on. Just so you know 9ers are favored by 3. 5. You can bette on a whole host of things besides the game. For example one of the questions, jon, will alicia keys be booed when she sings the national anthem. We cant figure out why there would even be a bette on this. Apparently people think yes she will be booed, 51 orders. How about beyonces hair . You can bet on her hair at halftime. Lit be curley or crimped or straight. Orders are she will be spot be a curley do. People will make money if she does her hair that way. The handshake between the brothers, jim and john harbaugh. Over, under, 7. 5 seconds. The last time the teams played it was about 11 second. Definitely go with the over according to our crack gamblers on our happening now team. Will any player on the active roster be arrested before the big game . Its happened before. The yes odds 51. So there you go. You can bette on everything from beyonces hair to a rap sheet. Jon okay. Jenna are you a gambler, jon . Jon i do not gamble. I dont like losing money. I really dont. Jenna my husband and i already have a big bet for the super bowl. Jon are you going to tell us on monday. Jenna i will. Im Still Deciding on who i should bet on. Im a san franciscan, i have to go with the 9ers. There is something about the ravens i i like too. Ill let now.

Music make someone happy music make someone happy its so important to make someone happy. Its so important to make meone happy. Make just one someone happy and you will be happy too. Jon fox news alert. It appears that after a firestorm of controversy directed at the white house over the contraception mandate in obama care it appears that the government is backing down. Just this morning the department of health and Human Services announced proposed changes in that contraception mandate that provides enrollees separate contraception coverage with no copays and at no cost to religious organizations. This would accommodate the religious beliefs of Many Organizations that have protested they should not be required under obama care to institute contraceptive coverage. It is against their religious beliefs they have said, and it appears the department of health and Human Services has finally heard them, and is issuing some kind of a rule meant to back away from that requirement. Who ultimately pays the bill, that is still a question, but it looks like the government is listening to the voices of religious and other organizations that have protested that they should not be required to pay for contraceptive care under the obama healthcare plan. More coverage as the news comes in ahead on fox. Jenna on the healthcare tip now, february is American Heart Health month to create awareness about Heart Disease. And its a really serious condition that really affects more women than men. One in three women, one in three will die from Heart Disease. In fact it kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. One woman dies from Heart Disease in this country every minute. When you look at those statistics its just incredible. Joining us now dr. Kevin campbell a practicing cardiologist and assistant professor at u. N. Cs department of medicine. The statistics really are something, doctor. The next question becomes, you know, what can we do to make sure that we have healthier hearts . There was a big study done in england and scotland, tens of thousands of people all vegetarians, they were looking at a vegetarian diet. They found out if youre a vegetarian you are 30 less likely to be hospitalized for Heart Disease. Does that mean that we should all be vegetarians and skirt past Heart Disease . I think that is one piece of the puzzle. We know that weurpl under treated and underserved. We know that more women than men die of Heart Disease every year. Jenna why is that, by the way, why are women so much likely . I think that women typically dont present with Heart Disease because they take care of husbands and children, and they put their own needs behind the need of their family, and often we see that they deny symptoms. Another interesting point is that their symptoms are quite different in women than in men tphpl cases skra in many cases skrao lets gecases. Jenna when it comes vegetarian, how were going to feed our family and plan it for the next year, being more vegetarian, does that help. It certainly does help. We know that red meat can raise cholesterol, cause higher blood pressures and a healthy diet full of vegetables and that sort of thing does make a difference it can increase your good cholesterol, decrease your bad cholesterol. Everything in moderation. You need a balanced diet. And exercise as well. Jenna im a hamburger eater. I have to admit i do eat some red meat. Jenna everything in moderation. On the computer crossed the latest note from the cdc about the flu. When you look at symptoms when it comes to women Heart Disease, you feel flew i shall, you feel aches and pains, nauseous. You need to know what youre risks are. You need to know the risk factors for cardiac disease, if you know the risk factors and you have these odd system you can take care of it. Jenna if i say i have the flu, im not feeling great. Is it up to me to say to the doctor can you check my heart, can we take a listen is that all it would take . You have to find a physician that you can partner with and engage in your own healthcare with. If you have a physician that you arent able to do that with i think you need to find a different physician. Yes, you need to know what your risk is. There wit jenna there as you a separate study about teenagers and Energy Drinks. That is Something Big for aufrl us now. Caffeine you have extra supplements you can drink, make you feel better, give you more energy. How does this figure into the whole thing of Heart Disease and heart health . We know that these Energy Drinks can be very detrimental in patients who do have cardiac disease whether they know it or know it can precipitate heart attacks, strokes and cause large spikes in blood pressure. In children it can cause sleep disturb aepbs disturbances. It can worse even adhd, change moods, its very, very dangerous in children as well. Jenna that is something to avoid. Nice red by the way. Im glad youre in the spirit for the month as well. Appreciate you coming in dr. Campbell. Jon the copilot of an Alaska Airlines flight comes to the rescue when the pilot passes out in midair. A look at how he and the rest of the crew managed to get more than 100 passengers safely on the ground, that is coming up. , and we are learning more about a fatal Chain Reaction crash in michigan that we first told you about yesterday. Some startling new developments coming up in a live report. Jenna flight from los angeles to seattle turns terrifying when the pilot suffers a medical emergency while in flight. An Alaska Airlines spokesperson said he lost consciousness somewhere over oregon. Fortunately the copilot was able to land the plane safely. Those are the book end of the story. There is lot in between. Anna kooiman has the story. Reporter appears nobody was hurt on Alaska Airlines 473. The airliner landed safely and the hospital was taken to the hospital where they suspect food poisonings or a flu virus caused the pilot to pass out. A spokesman for the airline told us the pilots condition greatly improved. The pilot, a 28 year veteran of Alaska Airlines fainted and came to and left the cockpit a passenger who happened to be a doctor gave him medical care. The copilot landed aircraft in portland where emergency crews left them. Around 6 30 the 116 passengers and five crewmembers left l. A. Making Emergency Landing in portland that was around 9 00 t was supposed to land in seattle 9 30 p. M. 20 passengers were rerouted to a Partner Airline and flown to seattle last night. The remaining passengers continued on with a new pilot. Just last week, jenna, a copilot on Alaska Airlines flight also suffered from the flu, fainted, requiring an Emergency Landing there as well. The spokesperson for the airline says these incidents are very rare. To have two happen in such a short time is a such a bizarre coincidence. Pilots must pass a medical exam every sick months and copilots once a year. They were uptodate on the medical certificate nationcations an were fine when che reported to work. Jenna when you have the flu you know how quickly things can turn. Anna, thank you. Jon Hillary Clinton is stepping down today as our secretary of state and she is ending her run with something of a bang, taking one final shot at her critics over the deadly terror attack on our consulate in libya. Here is part of what she had to say in sort of an exit interview with the associated press. Quote, there are some people in politics and in the press who cant be confused by the facts. They just will not live in an evidencebased world, and thats regretable. It is regrettable for our political system and for the people who serve our government in very dangerous and difficult circumstances. Paul gigot is Editorial Page Editor at the wall street journal and has some thoughts on this. You know, the ambassador, Chris Stevens was serving our government in dangerous circumstances and asking for more security but didnt get it. Unfortunately i she, secretary of state is protesting too much. What evidence is she pointing to . We know the evidence that they ignored security risks. That were pointed and frequent. We know that the ambassador himself had requested more security. We know that the administration decided that they wanted the light footprint after muammar qaddafi fell. Therefore we stepped back there and allowing some of these security threats to develop to the ambassador. We know that when the incident occurred which occurred over many hours, the administration did not immediately respond with military assets to do something about it. So this is not an incident, jon, i think that the secretary will be running if she runs in 2016 as president pointing as an heroic episode for her tenure on National Security. Jon you have it, you cant look at it in a vacuum. The president was running for reelection at the time. Obviously successfully and, telling everyone that al qaeda was on the run. It was a big part of his salesmanship as National Security. And we know that secretary clinton didnt say on the sunday shows because she didnt do that sort of thing. So they sent out the u. N. Ambassador, susan rice to say this was fundamentally a response to a youtube video. It was, it, its a bad episode and im surprised secretary of state clinton isnt take rag little more responsible for it. Jon she has been in office four years. When you look around the world, during those four years where are our relations better . I mean to paraphrase ronald reagan, where are we better off than we were four years ago . Burma. Burmese generals. Dont laugh. The burmese generals moved to open up their country. That is one thing. Elsewhere, not too many places i think you can point to. She has been a very energetic ambassador. She worked very hard. She has been a good face for american diplomacy. She is popular around the world but if you look at the actual results think there is a lot more disorder now than there was then. And thats something that ultimately will be discussed. Now, of course it was president obamas watch. She was an implementer, you know, not the main policymaker are. That will be an issue if she runs in 2016. Jon he drives foreign policy. There is no question about that. There is no question about that. Everybody concedes that and her allies concede it inside the administration. This is president obamas show and a she has been a spokesman an implementer of that policy. Jon paul gigot, from the wall street journal. Thanks, jon. Jon he will look at the weeks top stories the journal editorial report airs tomorrow at 2 00 are eastern on the fox news channel. Jenna a massive deadly pileup yesterday on a michigan freeway. Harris faulkner has the latest from the breaking news desk. Reporter the pictures from yesterday are simply eyepopping, a chainreaction crash that left cars twisted and slipped more than a mile along interstate 75. This is detroit. Were learning more about what drivers were doing to try to stay alive during this. Many slamming on their brakes. Others swerving to avoid all the cars that were immediately piling up. That navy saved some lives were told. Still, three people died. Among them children, a 7yearold boy, a 9yearold girl, believed to be siblings. Their parents injured along with some 13 other people you see in all of this. The initial problem, a bigrig driver was stopped in his lane right about the same time light snow, falling in the area, suddenly turned to heavy snow coming down. So heavily it caused a whiteout. High winds, a drop in temperature. In the fog of that falling precip drivers struggled to find their way as you might imagine. More than 30 cars from suvs to semi trailers were left manage geled. They are saying now that survivors are talking about it they suddenly couldnt see out of their car windows and couldnt stop because the roadway was so slick. A tough scene for firstresponders to handle. They shut down that stretch of i75 for hours while they helped out the victims and removed the wreckage. Parts of michigan are under a winter warning. Theyre expecting two fight of lakeeffect snow today and tomorrow. Back to you. Jenna scary if you have to be out there driving. If you do, a good warning to be careful out there. Harris. Reporter chains. Jenna good advice. Thats for sure. Thanks, harris. Jon just into the fox newsroom comes word that the controversial secretary of energy, stephen chu announced he will be leaving his post once a successor is named. Pretty common for cabinetlevel positions to change over at the start of a new term. Weve seen a lot of turnover in the Obama Administration but probably not more than usual. Steven chu, the man who has been in part controversial for the department of energys loans to operations like the now bankrupt solyndra, he is also the one who said that he would like to see gasoline prices much higher in this country. Steven chu says he will leave office once a successor is confirmed. The frightening hostage standoff in alabama now nearing the 72hour mark. A 5yearold boy locked up, held underground in an underground bunker by a suspected killer. Former fbi Hostage Negotiator and profiler joins us on the task of the delicate task that police are facing. Hes always seemed like a weird person. I always thought that was just the way he is. [ fishing rod casting line, marching band playing ] [ male announcer ] the rhythm of life. [ whistle blowing ] where do you hear that beat . Campbells healthy request soup lets you hear it. In your heart. [ basketball bouncing ] heart healthy. Great taste. Mmm. [ male announcer ] sounds good. Its amazing what soup can do. [ male announcer ] sounds good. Theres the sign to the bullpen. Here he comes. You wouldnt want your doctor doing your job, the pitch whoa so why are you doing his . Only your doctor can determine if your persistent heartburn is actually something more serious like acid reflux disease. Over time, stomach acid can damage the lining of your esophagus. For many, prescription nexium not only provides 24hour heartburn relief, but can also help heal acidrelated erosions in the lining of your esophagus. There is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. Side effects may include headache, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Call your doctor right away if you have persistent diarrhea. Other serious stomach conditions may exist. Dont take nexium if you take clopidogrel. Let your doctor do his job. And you do yours. Ask if nexium is right for you. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. New honey bunches of oats greek yohere we go. Ole grain. Honey cornflakes and chunks of greek yogurt. Im tasting both the yogurt and the honey at the same time. Im like digging this yogurt thing. I feel healthy. New honey bunches of oats greek. Jenna brand new stories coming up next hour for you including this one by nasa. Nasa is holding a day of remembrance 10 years after the Space Shuttle columbia tragedy. We have a live report coming up. Certainly a day we really remember here on fox news. Also some new concerns about the growing influence of al qaeda in one region of the world. Which target is the terror group well tell you. Plus a fight to keep the price of beer from going up. Yes, our Justice Department is getting involved here. Our legal panel will weigh in on the latest move to stop a major merger that could affect beer drinkers everywhere. Jon right now a frightening who stands situation in alabama. A 5yearold boy spending a third full day in an underground bunker. Hostage negotiators have been speaking to the man holding the boy through a ventilation pipe but the suspect shows no sign of giving up. We hear he has spent days in his underground bunker before. The lair is stocked with food, electricity and a television. The sheriff, pleading for patience. I could tell you that negotiators continue to communicate with the suspect and theres no reason to believe the child has been harmed. On behalf of the Dale County Sheriffs Office i want to thank all the assisting agencies dedicated to helping us bring this child home safely. Jon while the child may be physically okay one local official says he has been crying for his parents. Absolutely heartbreaking to hear that. Mary ellen otoole is a former fbi profiler and Hostage Negotiator and the author of dangerous instincts, how gut feelings betray us. Mary ellen are, this guy wants something. What do you suppose it is . Well, he does have demands. He wants something but theyre keeping it very, very close to the vest and that may actually be part of the ongoing negotiations. So whether its a personal cause, whether its a, wanting something, a concern or an enjustice made public, it is something that he feels is important enough to have created this situation involving himself and the bunker, with this 5yearold boy. Jon im not sure that somebody who does Something Like this is thinking rationally and maybe this is just a strange question but, nobody kidnap as kid off a school bus and shoots the bus driver dead as is alleged here, then crawls into an underground bunker and expects he is going to be able to get out, does he . Well, yeah, i think he does expect to get out. Thats what we want. Jon sure. We want hill to listen to the negotiators and to understand a very important point which is, you do not need this 5yearold boy to resolve this situation peacefully. You have a lot of control about how it will be put out there in the press eventually but you dont need this 5yearold boy to do that. Regardless how it started off, that control is yours to take and to resolve it peacefully and thats the message my sense is right now that theyre communicating with him. Jon neighbors say hes a violent and just, you know, loud individual. He was supposed to go to court the morning after this whole event started because he had apparently, he accused of firing shots at neighbors when he challenged them over some damage that had been done to a dirt speed bump in front of his place. What does that tell you about the mindset that were working with here . Well thats certainly suggests that this is someone for whom aggression and violence is acceptable in his repertoire but i certainly expect that he is watching, particularly the Fox News Program but i want hill to understand that nonetheless, even though thats in his repertoire of behavior, he still has the Great Potential of being able to look at this situation, understand that he is someone that can, and the sole person that can really resolve it. So we understand that theres a range of behavior in his background and right now what negotiators are doing, theyre appealing to his sense of power and control and wanting to get his message out there and wanting to resolve it in the best way possible for him and also for that young victim. Jon is it actually a good thing if this goes on longer . I mean does it stand a better chance of resolution, a good resolution the longer it goes on . Well the longer it goes on the longer the negotiators have the opportunity to slowly build trust and to, to keep him communicating about what his motives are, what his reasons for doing this in the first place. So the longer it goes on and theyre able to establish that trust and hopefully he is able to establish some type of a relationship with that young boy absolutely it is, its better than having something so quick and unexpected that it could end in a very bad way and we dont want that. Jon mary ellen 0toole, a former Hostage Negotiator for the fbi. Lets hope youre right that he realizes he is the one that can let the little boy go safely. Thank you. Youre welcome. Jenna the parents are getting a chance to send the kids to the school of their choice. That is the idea about National School choice week. How organizers say it is the way to improve education.

Welcome to a brand new hour of happening now, im jenna lee. Jon and im jon scott. A powerful bomb blast ripping a whole in the embassy with the u. S. Ambassador inside. We have learned the ambassador is safe. Two people are dead, including the bomber. The turkish government blames an illegal group of leftwing radicals responsible for several acts of terror in turkey since the 970s. Jennifer given is live griffin is live at the state department. What are the indications about whos behind this attack . Reporter its in the turkish authorities interest to down play any terrorist group, they want to blame this on a Domestic Group. Turkish Authorities Say they have identified the attacker and say he belongs to a leftleaning Marxist Group known inside of turkey, the revolution Peoples Liberation party front, the dhkpc. The group has been designated a terrorist o by the United States in the past but had been relatively quiet in recent years. U. S. Officials that were speaking to say it is much too early to determine who is responsible. Authorities here have not ruled out the involvement of alqaeda or each an iranian approximate key group. State Department Spokesman victoria newlin says they are investigating, quote we can confirm a terrorist blast at checkpoint on the tricepper the of our perimeter compound at 1 13 p. M. Local time. We are working closely with the Turkish National police to make a pull assessment of the damage and the casualties and to begin an investigation. Embassy officials are expressing regret about the injured outside of the compound there. One of those injured, weve learned, is a well known tv journalist. She was injured in the attack. The u. S. Ambassador has already visited her at the hospital, and there was also a turkish guard killed in the explosion this . Jon jennifer, just as youve been speaking, a bulletin crossed from reuters from the white house. It says that the white house says that the suicide or homicide bombing at the u. S. Embassy is by definition an act of terror, but they are also saying they do not know the motivations at this time. Clearly, they have learned something from the flap that ensued after the benghazi attacks. But that brings up this question, this is secretary of state Hillary Clintons last day on the job, so whose problem does this become . Does john kerry take over now . Reporter well, thats right. In fact, this incident certainly mars secretary of state Hillary Clintons last day on the job. She will be leaving the building here at foggy bottom at 2 30 p. M. Today, thats when shell be saying her final farewell, walking out the doors below me t. And senator john kerry will be taking over. Hell be taking his oath at the white house later today were told. In fact, spokesman victoria newlin was asked about the transition. What if a huge crisis erupts over the weekend . Well, as i said, he is expected to be sworn in on friday afternoon. So he would deal with it. Yeah. Seamless transition. Reporter the new secretary of state made some headlines this morning in an interview that he gave to the boston globe in which he said that he was offered the job of secretary of state before susan rice who was largely viewed as the front runner in the first line pick of the Obama Administration, that he was offered the job by the president before susan rice took her name out of the running. Jon . Jon all right. Interesting. Jennifer griffin at the state department today. Thank you. Jenna a busy day down in d. C. We have this fox news alert coming out of washington concerning the new health care law. The Obama Administration announcing some very big changes for the Birth Control coverage for employees of some religious organizations, trying to work out the details here. White house spokesman jay carney just asked about this change minutes ago. Take a listen. And another topic, the Birth Control optout, is this a recognition that the rules were an overreach . No, not at all. For details about the rulemaking process which, on which there is news today from hhs, i refer you to hhs. I would remind you, however, of the policy that the president outlined last year. And in outlining it, he set two important criteria. One, we had to insure that women have access to Preventive Services like contraception and that the policy also respects religious beliefs. Those guidelines, those criteria have been followed by the department in promulgating this rule, this proposed rule, and as part of that process theres more comment that will be taken on i. But for detail, id refer you to hhs. Jenna what does this all mean . James rosen is with us, our chief washington correspondent. James, what are some of the big points that we need to take away from this headline . Reporter well, on its face, jenna, this would appear to be a dramatic postelection reversal by the Obama Administration on an issue that marked a flashpoint in the early electoral cycle last year in which by most accounts helped the Obama Biden Campaign galvanize voters, but theres more to it than that. Under the new rules being proposed by kathleen sebelius, nonprofit employers with a religious affiliation such as catholic hospitals and colleges will be able to opt out of the administrations Obamacare Mandate that insures that all women have free access to contraception through their Employers Health care plans. Itll now be up to the insurer, not to the faithbased nonprofit, to provide this coverage at no cost to the employer or to the female employee. In the case of selfinsured and Student Health plans, the religious nonprofit will notify whats known as a third party administerrer, and that administrator in turn will work with an insurer to arrange nocost contraceptive coverage through separate individual Health Insurance policies. Quote today, secretary sebelius said in a Statement Issued a short time ago, the administration is taking the next step in propriding women across the providing women across the nation with coverage of recommended preventive care. We will continue to work with faithbased organizations, womens organizations, insurers and others to achieve these goals, end quote. You may recall this issue vaulted to front page news about a year ago. At that time activist law student sandra fluke became a cause celebre when House Republicans blocked her from testifying on the issue, and Rush Limbaugh attacked her on his program. That all followed hhs original announcement that all employers, even faithbased ones, would have to provide coverage to female employees. Many organizations and companies sued over the mandate. Now heres one really Important Note on this, jenna. This proposed rule change will apparently not apply to private Sector Companies that are owned and operated by people with religious objections to this mandate. So Companies Like hobby lobby, for example, one of the litigants, would still be obligated to provide this coverage at least until such time as the u. S. Supreme court weighs in on this controversial mandate. Jenna . Jenna very interesting. We knew this year was going to be a lot about figuring out the details and how they were going to be applied in reallife situations, so were witnessing this process, and well continue to gather details about how it will practically be applied. James, thank you. Reporter you bet. Jon we are continuing to follow the breaking developments out of alabama where police are negotiating with the gunman holding a 5yearold boy hostage in an underground bunker. Theyre talking to jimmy lee dykes through a ventilation pipe. They say they can hear the child crying for his parents. Police say dykes is showing no signs of ending the standoff which is now in its fourth day. Elizabeth prann live in midland city, alabama for us. What are you seeing activity wise where you are, elizabeth . Reporter well, in just the past hour or two weve seen an increase of activities. As you can see, the s. W. A. P. Members over my shoulder going up that dirt road. The suspects property is slightly behind those white buildings, and police have confirmed that theyre communicating to the suspect with a pvc pipe. This is an example of what hes using to communicate. 4 inches, this is about 5 pounds, this is a 4foot pvc pipe. We know there is 60 feet of pvc piping from the driveway or from the roadway of this suspects property all the way to the bunker, and what we know from witnesses and neighbors is that that pvc piping is also going through additional buildings on that property. We are waiting for an update from authorities, were hoping to hear from them 4 30 locally and, of course, if we have any other details, jon, were going to bring that to you immediately. Jon obviously, its a small up to. What are folks saying about the little boy . Reporter yeah. Theres only about 2300 people that live in midland city, and theyre devastated. Theyre certainly still at a standstill, schools remain closed. Theyre opening some schools on monday but not all of them. Were hearing people are coming out and speaking about this young boy who is missing. A lot of his peers are asking parents and adults where he is. Take a listen. Why he has the child, we dont understand, but we would just really ask that he would have mercy upon this young child and let him be returned to his parents. Reporter this is a community, charles alan poland jr. , he gave his life trying to save the school bus full of children. Hell be laid to rest on sunday. Jon what a sad story. Elizabeth, thank you. Jenna up next, one of our big stories today, terror in the country of turkey aimed at america. You have a deadly explosion hitting the u. S. Embassy. Why now . Whos behind this attack, and what does this mean for the year ahead and the security of all americans overseas . A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror, it is a terrorist attack. However, we do not know at this point who is responsible or the motivations behind the attack. The attack itself is clearly an act of terror. You know my heart burns for you. Im up next, but now im sging the heartburn blues. Hold on, prilosec isnt for fast relief. Cue up alkaseltzer. It stops heartburn fast. Oh what a relief it is just begin with americas favorite soups. Bring out chicken broccoli alfredo. Or bestever meatloaf. Go to campbellskitchen. Com for recipes, plus a valuable coupon. Campbells. Its amazing what soup can do. Jenna breaking news on the terror attack outside the u. S. Embassy in turkeys capital. The state Department Warning americans to stay away from diplomatic offices in turkey, this after a homicide bombing inside a security checkpoint at an entrance to the embassy. A Security Guard was killed, the wellknown female Television Journalist was wounded in this. This is an area that is under heavy security. Embassies for france and germany also located nearby. There are reports this is the work to of a Domestic Group, a marxist Extremist Group inside the country, so we want to talk about that with rick runnell, also joining us the director for the or Washington Institute the Washington Institute Turkish Research program. We had this initial report about a Domestic Group being responsible, but we also know we have to be cautious with initial reports as well. What does this look hike to you, and who do you think is responsible for this . The initial intelligence information suggests its a Marxist Group based in turkey, its a Fringe Movement left over from the larger marx terrorist groups that existed in the 1970s, and the telltale signs of this group is they do attack u. S. Targets and mission, for example, during the first gulf war they attacked u. S. Military personnel and killed two. So i would say there are some similarities, and i would agree this could be a small Marxist Group. Maybe a few hundred members only, but its very antiamerican, and a lot of the signs point at the fact that as well as Turkish Police is now saying this could be that group behind the attack. Jenna just to follow up on that quickly, why now . Why would this group suddenly take this action now . First of all, you have to remember that this group is antiamerican to death, and they just hate the United States, and they think of this as more through the cold war prism. They dont like u. S. Presence in the region, they think of the u. S. As a quoteunquote imperialist power, and i think now it would make sense that we have sent troops to deploy nato patriot missiles to defend turkey against syria, they see that as something that goes against their fundamentalist ideological thinking, and as a result of that, the group has been called into action. Unfortunately, as small as this group might be, one could anticipate future targets on u. S. Interests in turkey should further nay to have or troop and hardware ce employments take place in theing months. In the coming months. Jenna what do you think is the correct United States response . Well, first of all, we have to be very serious. This is an attack on a nato country inside a nato country. Turkeys a great ally. Theyve been a member of nato since 1951, and this is a serious attack. This is the eighth attack on an embassy under Hillary Clinton alone. So we have to have a tough response. I think that its also very interesting that these attacks are happening when the u. S. Policy in the region is really withdrawn. We are not active in syria. We are doing just little, minor things around the edges, and yet were a target. The turkish Prime Minister, erdogan, has been very vocal about syria and assads brutal crackdown, and yet the attacks are happening on an american embassy. I think this just proves that americas always going to be a target whether we have a tough policy like in the Bush Administration or a weak policy during the Obama Administration. Jenna and let me get back to the issue of timing as well. As rick just mentioned, many consider turkey a good ally in the region, but theres also been questions raised about turkey and Terror Financing and where they really stand when it comes to issues regarding iran. So how do we navigate the way ahead with turkey especially since you said we should prepare ourselves potentially for more attacks by this group inside that country . Well, turkeys the only nato ally that borders iran and syria, so it is a valuable ally, and i think turkey has pivoted back to the u. S. In the last couple of years, erasing some of these concerns that you raised in the sense that the country now realizes as the largest economy in that region of the world, as a rising power, it needs the United States for security, it needs nato because it has a civil war across from its 510milelong border with syria, and a civil war could easily spill over into turkey. What we saw today is one of these initial spillover effects. So i think turkeys increasingly going to come back to the United States for further Nato Alliance protection, and i think u. S. Policy is, obviously, where the red line is. In other words, if this regime crosses that red line and targets turkey, it will find not just the United States, but the entire Nato Alliance standing behind turkey because thats where the red line has to be drawn visavis the assad regime. Jenna do you think the United States is putting that forward, that that is a red line. And bring that bigger, if you will. Our National Security is something we certainly talk about and put a high priority on as well, so how does this sort of play into the year that were tate facing ahead not only in the region, but for our own safety . I think turkey is an interesting place where this plays out because there is criticism that theyre not doing enough with terrorist financing. But the simple fact is we do work closely with turkey on freezing assets. The question is whether or not we have an automatic freeze inside turkey. And the opposition groups are very nervous about an automatic freeze rather than having a judge come in and try to approve the freezing of the assets that the government would recommend. The opposition groups dont want the automatic freezing to happen because simply they dont the government. And so this is a highly sophisticated argument inside turkey, but at the end of the day, i think the turks are doing what they can to help us combat terrorism. They recognize that they are on the front steps of of this, and i think president Prime Minister erdogan has done a very good job. Jenna its worth noting that although were talking about embassy security, this hasnt been a conversation piece if you look at the last several years. And its still very rare that our embassies are being attacked overseas. So that should be something of note as we look at the year ahead as well. Its great to have your expertise today. We appreciate it very much. Jon well, on the day after the president scraps his jobs council, we get new numbers showing america is not where it is supposed to be. The Unemployment Rate up in this country. Well get our panel to debate some of the numbers next. Was in the right time to get rid of a panel in charge of fixing the job crisis . Jon brand new jobs numbers just out a day after the president scraps his jobs council. The Labor Department showing employers added 157,000 jobs last month. The national Unemployment Rate jumped up to 7. 9 . That does not include the americans who stopped looking for jobs and dropped out of the work force. Lets talk about it with nina easton, columnist for fortune, also a fox news contributor, austan goolsbee, former chair of the president s council of economic advisers, hes also a professor of economics at the university of Chicago Booth School of business. What do you think about these numbers . You know, theyre more of the same. I think they show some progress, not very fast progress, and it largely reflects the fact that overall the economys growing probably about 2 . So weve got to get the growth rate back up to something well above that to see substantial progress in the job market. Jon 169,000 people dropped out of the work force, more people than actually got jobs, austan. The Unemployment Rate would be even higher if it werent for that number. Yeah, i know, you want to be a little careful. Labor force participation stayed the same. The population is aging, so we expect to have a fair number of people retiring every month in the next ten years or more as the baby booms retiring. I think the broader measures of unemployment which show larger numbers than the regular Unemployment Rate have remained steady or improved about at the same rate, in some cases a little faster, than ordinary employment. So i think you want to not overreact to that. Jon all right, nina, it seems to be an economy that ease treading water. It seems like its an economy, yeah, stuck in neutral. I mean, keep in mind that also this week we had news that in the Fourth Quarter the economy, surprisingly people werent expecting this but surprisingly Economic Growth contracted in the Fourth Quarter. So youve got those two factors coming in the same week. Yes, a lot of jobs were added, but not enough to compensate for all the folks coming into the work force or people now looking for a job, so the Unemployment Rate ticked up to 7. 9 . There really and, again, as you mentioned, the president s jobs council was disbanded. Jon yeah. The optics of that are not good. This is a jobs council that really didnt meet very often, only four times, and the president didnt take some key advice that, frankly, would have really helped with the job growth, and we can talk about that. Jon well, i know can i Say Something about that . Jon well, okay all right, go ahead, austan. Well, i was there at the setup of the jobs and competitiveness council. It was a reincarnation of the economic recovery Advisory Board where i was the chief economist for the first two years. This is one of hundreds of Advisory Committees. It was scheduled to expire after two years. There was no sense in which they had to go out and actively scrap the job job and the jobs cou. This is when it was scheduled to end. And as you know, this Advisory Committee unlike the hundreds of others that exist got wrapped up into the election in a way that was highly uncomfortable for the bipartisan executives that were on it. So i dont think that the number of official big meetings when the number of regional meetings they had was in the high numbers and the members of the council themselves were trying to get out of the spotlight. I dont think thats an indicator of anything. Jon so tell us in those two years in four major meetings what did they accomplish . They are an advisory body. As i say, of which there are hundreds. They produced some reports, they met with Regional Business leaders and workers around the country, and they produced a series of bipartisan things. There was a lot of disagreement within the committee. They could not totally agree on policy recommendations. But they provided ideas jon right. That the administration and the president took. Jon okay, let me get to nina then. Come up with policies. Jon let me get to nina. They provided ideas, nina. Yeah, and austans points are well taken. But there are two issues, tax issues coming from the Jobs Advisory Council and the Business Community at large which would help to bring more of that cash that companies are sitting on overseas, 2 trillion at least, back to invest in jobs. One would be to change and this was an Advisory Council recommendation one would be to change the way that corporate earnings overseas are taxed so that theyre not double taxed. Another thing that both the white house agrees on, the Business Community agrees on, republicans agree on is Corporate Tax reform. Lower the corporate rate, close loopholes, and there are studies that show that could add as much as a percent to gdp. All of this would help Companies Bring more investment back to the u. S. And invest in jobs, and the white house has not shown leadership on either. Jon it would be good to see something work. Nina easton, austan goolsbee, thank you both. Thank you. Thank you. Jenna dangerous new concerns about alqaeda. The terrorist group is reportedly on the hunt for new western targets. Coming up, were going to tell you who exactly they could be targeting next. Also a day of remembrance today. Nasa paying tribute to the men and women of Space Exploration who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I know its hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. Its all part of the process of exploration and discovery. Its all part of taking a chance at expanding mans horizons. The future doesnt belong to the faintof hearted. It belongs to the brave. Shimmy, shimmy chocolate. Shimmy, shimmy chocolate. We, we chocolate cross over. Yeah, we chocolate cross over. [ male announcer ] introducing fiber one 80 calorie chocolate cereal. Chocolate. Jenna welcome back, everyone. Some frauing concerns over alqaedas influence in north africa. Weve been talking about this a lot, especially alqaedas desire to carry out more attacks against western targets after last months hostage crisis at that algerian gas plant that left 38 people dead, three of them americans. Catherine herridge is live in washington with more on whats next. Catherine . Reporter well, thank you, jenna. Senior u. S. Intelligence officials discussed the threat picture in north africa before this mornings attack at the u. S. Embassy in turkey. Officials describing the desire to hit western including u. S. Targets as aspirational as the goal of alqaeda in north africa. This is u. S. Interest writ large, intelligence officials said, hardened targets including diplomatic facilities as well as soft targets such as american citizens working there. And though the terror Group Responsible in turkey has not been identified, the head of the House Foreign Affairs committee issuing a statement reporter after the hostage crisis in algeria in mid january, secretary of state Hillary Clinton conceded that the threat to u. S. Interests in the region was growing as these groups pooled their resources and people. Now, concerns about terrorism and instability in north africa are not new, of course. Indeed, theyve been a top priority for this entire National Security team. But we need to Work Together to accelerate a Diplomatic Campaign to increase pressure on alqaeda in the islamic maghreb and other terrorist groups in the region. Reporter tribal areas of pakistan where the u. S. Can partner with one nation on counterterrorism issues, alqaeda in the islamic maghrebs followers move seamlessly between mali, niger, mauritania and libya. Affected nations are more concerned with the alqaeda problem within their own borders and less concerned with taking this broader regional leadership role that will be required to prevent the establishment, pardon me, of a safe haven there, jenna. Jenna lots to keep an eye on. Reporter to digest there. [laughter] jenna certainly. That is an important report for us today, absolutely, catherine. Thank you. Reporter youre welcome. Jon another terrorist attack on a u. S. Diplomatic oversea, this time in turkey on Hillary Clintons final day serving as secretary of state. So how will the Mainstream Media handle this latest attack on america . Lets talk about it with judith miller, a pulitzer prizewinning Investigative Reporter and author, kirsten powers, a columnist for the daily beast, both of them fox news contributors. The indications are at least from the turkish government, judy, that this was the act of some leftwing group in turkey, not necessarily an alqaedarelated group. Does that change the way this gets covered . No, i dont think it does, jon, because whats more interesting than the suspect group may have done it and, unfortunately, theres no shortage of them, but its the target. This is turkey, this is an islamist but very pragmatic government that has worked with the United States closely, that is working with washington closely on the syrian situation, on iraq, on a lot of different, difficult issues for us. And the fact that whoever did this aimed at a nato member that is closely aligned with us tells us that the threat to americans and american installations comets. Jon well continues. Jon well, is this something that the media should be holding the Obama Administrations feet to the fire over, or is this an internal matter for the turks . Well, no. I mean, i think its an american embassy, so of course it matters, you know, to the United States. I dont think you can lay the blame at the feet of the Obama Administration per se, but whats important is the bigger story. And i dont think the media really covers that. I think that they treat each of these incidents that happen as these sort of individual incidents, um, and while this may, you know, not be an alqaeda attack, it doesnt change the fact that it is an attack against the United States. And so this sort of myth that obama has changed our standing in the world and that, you know, Everybody Loves us, you know, if the media doesnt do their job and cover the fact that, actually, you know, if you look at whats been happening in north africa which really doesnt get a lot of coverage, theres a lot to talk about and a lot to ask the administration about. Jon lets turn our attention to the economy because thats going to get some Media Coverage in the days ahead. Theres already been a twitter war going on today between speaker of the house john boehner and jay carney, the White House Press spokesman. Heres what john boehner sent out. He said if Government Spending caused Economic Growth, as the president believes, the Economy Today should be booming. Unemployment plummeting. He also said ahead of that, he said its the wrong time for president obama to scrap his jobs council and delay his budget again. Well, jay carney, the president s spokesman, fired back saying how quickly Speaker Boehner forgets underhe supporte nation lost 8. 5 million jobs in the last 35 months. We have created 6 million. What about his argument, specifically jay carneys argument, judy . Well, look, i think that is going to get played out. Its going to be one of the talking points and the debating points between keynesians and nonkeynesians in this administration. I think whats really interesting is that, you know, in the new republic president obama went out of his way to kind of extend an olive branch to mr. Boehner by saying that he knows that he wanted a compromise, its just those nasty republicans who are really conservative who wont let him compromise. And this is how boehner responds. So i think that what were now going to see is a kind of war of words between these two men whom at least the white house hope would be potential allies. Thats not going to happen. Jon kirsten, you know, the president long blamed the Bush Administration for driving the economy into the ditch. When jay carney was at the podium the other day, he said its all the fault of congressional republicans. Can you have it both ways . I mean, can it be the president one year and the next, you know, four years later its the congress . Be well, i think the argument is that president bush left obama with this and that the president has tried to talk different measures that he thinks will stimulate the economy and that the republicans have, you know, really opposed him at every turn. Thats the historically correct statement, what i just said. Now, that said, when you hear this back and forth twitter wars between jay carney and john boehner, and i was just reading an article about this, its just like, come on, can they just grow up . This triesing to pin the blame on this trying to pin the blame on each other. The truth of the matter is both sides are going to have to give on each other. The president does not want to do entitlement reform, hes going to do something. The republicans control the house, im sorry, thats just a fact of life. And the republicans are going to have to meet him halfway on some things. Just that people should not tolerate this. This is not an acceptable way for washington to operate. Its just jon one go ahead, sorry. Jon one web site pointed out the economy shrank in the last quarter, the Unemployment Rate is up as of the numbers released today. We had a trillion dollar deficit in the last year, more than 5 trillion over the last four years. Boy, president obama sure inherited an economic mess from himself. I guess. [laughter] the ditch was very deep, and i think that the president has been trying to climb out of it. He has had stimulus policies. I dont think hes going to be able to have any more of them. And that really limits the tools that he can use to kind of get the economy, keep the economy growing. This is a very, very difficult challenge. Of he does need cooperation from the republicans, but i dont think hes going to get it because in part i dont think hes doing a lot to encourage it. Jon all right. Judith miller and kirsten powers, our fox news watch panel today. Thank you both. Thank you. Thank you. Jenna well, a day of remembrance for those remarkable americans lost in the goal for exploring space. Coming up, nasas tribute to some of americas finest astronauts, next.

The acquisition is a bad deal for american consumers. Theyre concerned its going to make these companies too big, and they could affect beer prices too heavily in this market. Does the government have a case . Lets bring in our expert today. Former prosecutor fred tecce and former defense attorney arthur eye call aidala. They admitted no biases toward any Beer Companies but maybe some experience drinking [laughter] some of these. So, arthur, does the government have a case here . Well, theyre not going to get thrown out of court, lets start out that way. Theres a lot of elements the government would have to prove here, but without getting too deep into the weeds, what they really have to prove is its going to so adversely effect americans that you cant just have this, basically, one beer company thats going to be able to set the prices, set who gets what beer and what city, what state, what up to. The best example was, and this is an extreme example, but they would not allow at t to buy tmobile. Now, theres very few wireless carriers, but they did not want to just have one Mother Company controlling everything. Jenna okay. So cell phones is something, though, that a lot of American Families use, fred, right . Now, beer, i know some of our viewers might argue with me, but its not like its milk, you know, or something that all families in america use. I mean, its beer. No, it is beer. And, look jenna should there be a concern here . I do have a bias because its important beers are around, because beers are making guys like me look good in bars for centuries. [laughter] theres got to be a lot of it out there. Look, the government has to prove two things. One, they have to show an injury to consumers which means beers going to be more expensive. But the more important thing is they have to show whats called market power, and although anheuserbusch and the government will have nobel prizewinning economists tell you what that means, it means you can raise your prices and not lose market power. And the fact of the matter is with beer, quite frankly, is if you raise the price, someones just going to buy a different beer. Theres not enough brand loyalty. I dont think the governments going to get thrown out, its a legitimate case, but i dont think theyre going to win it at the end of the day. Jenna i was researching Beer Companies, the Beer Industry and preparing for this very serious segment, it was interesting to note that some of these Big Companies control the wholesalers, even the smaller Beer Companies that use the same wholesalers as some of these Big Companies control or have influence over them and some of our smaller craft beers could be affected, the availability to the consumer, and thats another side to this case. Correct. Exactly. You hit the nail on the held, and thats what the government is trying to protect. They dont want one or two or three Huge Companies to have so much control so that theyre controlling the wholesalers as well, that determines whether Brooklyn Lager and these other small places, do they go to brooklyn or get served in some small town in oklahoma . And also theres another asterisk. The president of the United States is now working on his legacy, right . He doesnt need to get reelected. This is a cool thing for his administration to do. Hey, im protecting the beer drinker. Jenna interesting. Which is a pretty popular position for his administration to take. That is a big voting bloc, ill give you that. [laughter] but i heard the president brews his own beer, so im not sure theres a dog in this fight. Jenna interesting angle. Way to go. Jenna real quick final thought, 49ers or rairves . I cant root for baltimore, i gotta go with the niners. Jenna arthur . I dont care. The giants arent in there. As long as they serve beer and wings, i dont care who wins either. Jenna it was all part of the timing for the segment, arthur, thank you for crushing it. [laughter] arthur and fred, thank you. Thanks for having me. Jon i do my beer Segment Research every weekend. Andahalf thats right. [laughter] jon one of the nations most historic landmarks turning 100. Coming up, the Grand Central terminal and how this magnificent building was also demolished. Also, remembering some of the heroes of americas space program. We are live at the Kennedy Space center where nasa is paying transcribe beautiful jon this is a day to pay tribute to americas heroes, nasa honoring today u. S. Astronauts who have died in the line of duty including the crews of Space Shuttles challenger and columbia. Todays ceremonies marking a day of remembrance ten years after the columbia accident. Steve harrigan is live in cape canaveral, florida. Steve . Reporter jon, a day of remembrance here, but also a day of gratitude, remembering those who gawf their lives for gave their lives for Space Exploration. Among the speakers, the widow of the commander of the spaceship columbia. February 1, 2003, became a traumatic, shocking day. Anticipating a joyful homecoming of our crew, we were jolted in the viewing area into a nightmarish stroll of fear, uncertainty and horror. That led to a crushing announcement that the crew had perished. Reporter three major tragedies in nasas history claimed the lives of 17 astronauts beginning in 1967 with the apollo i, a fire onboard the capsule on the launching pad claimed the lives of three including gus brisesome, a veteran of the america ri program, and then again in 1986 it was the Space Shuttle challenger. That shuttle flew for just 73 seconds before exploding, a tragedy that was captured before the ideas of many school children, thats because it was the First Teacher in space program, Christa Mcauliffe one of the seven b who died that day, and finally the Space Shuttle columbia, exactly ten years ago, that shuttle broke up upon reentry. It was later determined that a piece of foam from an exterior tank hit the wing, and it was only upon reentry 16 days later after successful experiments in space that those seven astronauts lost their lives. A sense of mourning, a sense of commemoration, but also a sense of gratitude for people who pushed the boundaries and gave their lives in the process. Jon, back to you. Jon steve steve harrigan, i rer 1967 telling my cup scout troop about the loss of those astronauts in the apollo i fire, sort of in a way the first news story i ever reported, and then Ronald Reagans speech after the challenger, im sorry, columbia accident. One of the or finest ever given. Steve harrigan, thanks. And remembering americas heroes, well be right back.
