Good morning to you, its sunday, february the 17th. Im alisyn kooiman in for alisyn. And the family of Oscar Pistorius speak out the first time and his girlfriend beyond the grave. Tucker do you consider yourself middle class . The math from the Census Bureau leaves you shaking your heads. Clayton how americans spend time from the minute they wake up in the morning until the minute they go to bed. A new book looks at how we spend our time and it will shock you. Fox friends starts now. I think we wait in line. Oh, good sunday morning, thank you so much for waking up with us bright and early. Thats the great Tucker Carlson and thats the great anna kooiman and im he the mediocre Clayton Morris. No way. Clayton and emails now, leann rimes says that her career is plummeting because of a dentist. Or something else. Her career is hitting a sour note and does that have to do with her love life . And some say that you look like a little bit like leann rimes. My eyes, i take it as a compliment. Clayton let us know your thoughts, and this first, when it comes to Immigration Reforms, congress apparently isnt moving fast enough for president obama and the white house has draft add whole version of immigration, and immigration bill that leaked out and not sitting well with some republicans. And doug, whats going oven with that bill. Reporter this appears to be the white house laying down a marker for the congress. The president s plan, an extrance seie expansive form of amnesty. One called it halfbaked. Lawful immigrant status to just about anyone, even those with criminal records will be included as long as they havent been convicted of three crimes or more than a year in prison and a security element to this to enhance efforts at the border and employers eventually check the immigration status of new hires and the president says he will push his own bill if Congress Fails to act. But its important for us to recognize that the foundation for bipartisan action is already in place and if congress is unable to move forward in a timely fashion, i will send up a bill based upon my proposal and insist at that they vote on it right away. Now, officially, a white house spokesman will only say this. While the president made clear he will move forward if copifor does not act. And will this poison the well in congress. Marco rubio has kind of been the g. O. P. Point person did not sound encouraged saying in a statement, quote, if actually proposed the president s bill would be dead on arrival in Congress Leaving Us with unsecured borders and a broken Legal Immigration system for years to come. And we talk about this, affecting an estimated 11 billion Illegal Immigrants currently in the country, but the president s plan would open up potential legal status as to spouses and children not yet here. Even though there is he a bill in the works, the Administration Says the president supports the ongoing bipartisan efforts here in capitol hill to come up with kind of reform measure. Back to you guys. Clayton more on this, well hear more on this, doug luzader, live in d. C. Thank you, four minutes after the hour and time for head lines. Oscar pistorius family going on camera the First Time Since the blade runner was charged with murdering his girlfriend. Its own case, including its own forensic evidence strong strongly refutes premeditated murder. And his uncle says he was planning a future with reeva steenkamp. And the show that reeva started last night, and included this chilling clip. And im going to miss you all so much. I love you very much. To fall in love is being in love with love. One love im going home sort of a sweet taste in my mouth. I dont have any regrets. So beautiful. Wasnt she. And theyre airing a tribute to steenkamp before the start of the show. Overnight two military jets escorting a plane away from a nofly zone where president obama is vacationing in florida. The small plane was forced to land at a field in the town of stuart just north of palm beach. And f. A. A. Is now investigating. It streamed across russias skyline sending up a blast and injuring more than 1200 people. scream screams in the wake of the meteor, a professor is developing a new tracking system to detect when and where a meteor will hit. You can say it will be exactly such and so positioned to within a mill and it will happen at exactly such and such a time within the second. The project pre sently received 5 million in funding from nasa. One in russia insisted it was not a meteor, but john considerry a new weapons of mass destruction from texas in the United States. One of president obamas favorite spots to grab a bit. Rays hell burger, reportedly owes overdue rent and court fees and a second location closed for business and president obama has visited the spot with vicepresident biden and russian president med investiga med did he ha med and how does he stay so those restaurants are popular in northern virginia, its hard to believe. Clayton have you even at rays hell burger. Tucker i dont, but the traffic. Always packed. Clayton and how do you have 39,000 in back rent to pay . If theyre lining out the door. Lets talk about a new Census Bureau study revealing what it means to be middle class. Certainly obviously during the campaign we hear the term middle class, both sides playing to try to the middle class. The president during his state of the union used middle class eight times, but what does it mean . Here is the president. A rising, thriving middlement we wont grow the middle class by shifting cost of health care or families struggling. A growing economy that creates bun middle class. One middle class parent cant afford 200 a week. And grow opportunities in the middle class for all willing to climb them. This kind of prosperity, broad, shared, built on a thriving middle class. When we talk about the middle class, were actually talking about the definition seems to be unclear recently. Middle incomes for people, mississippi coming in at 39,000 or 39,078 the lowest. Tucker theres vast Economic Diversity, a 28 spread between the two. The country didnt look the same the at the all. Lets look at the states where were from. Clayton in pennsylvania, my home state. It varies on state. You cant make a blanket middle statement. In pennsylvania middle class an income of 50,000 a year. In North Carolina, my home state tar, 44,787. Tucker in california where i grew up, 56,074. This will change if that falls apart. In ricks home state where everyone is moving from california it arizona, going up. 48,319 bucks. And people dont make that exact figure. Theres got to be a range, right. Clayton of course in of the southern states, mississippi at 38,000. A disparity. What do you mean when you make the blanket federal regulations. Tucker and federal minimum wage is the case in point to what i just said. States have their own minimum wage, but to impose one federally on a country with this much Economic Diversity might not be a good idea. The standard of living is so different in the deep south and mid atlantic. President obama is calling the state of the Union Address should be be up at 9 an hour, thats up 1. 75, and some states where the middle income is a lot lower. You think of the restaurants how are they going to keep their heads above water if they have to play out larger amounts of employees when the Profit Margins are so small. Clayton and the disproportionately hurt the unskilled works and those struggling in poverty. Theyll be pushed out and may not get the job in the first place. Paid 9 an hour. Do you think the numbers jibe with what you know about being middle class in your state. Meantime over to rick reich mousse. Rick we know this pass, youll get a raise. laughter its about time, a dollar. Rick all right, guys, it was cold across the south eats, and its fold for this time of year, and cold for any time. And a freeze effect only to f meyers, 44. People on twitter saying its struggle weather across parts of florida, enjoy that. And as far as any precipitation goes, theres a system here across the northeast, a coastal system, but not that dissimilar to what we had this weekend. And farther up shore, it doesnt have as much expanse. And were seeing the eastern long island and this is mostly going to be kind after southeastern, massachusetts event, parts of rhode island and see maybe three to six inches of snow and maybe more on cape cod and the islands and windy throughout the day today. Winds maybe 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour at time. And traveled across parts of the northeast, not that good. The temps for today though. Certainly you see the cold air and not that bad across parts of the south. Back to you. Thanks, rick. Coming up on the show, he predicted that Cardinal Ratzinger could go on to leave the Catholic Church as pope. Who does from eva maria church think will be the next in the vatican, thats next.

One of his final appearances before he resigns the end of this month. Our next guest met the pope when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, and he predicted that he would succeed Pope John Paul ii. Joining us is from the school of law. Glad to be with you. One of my first questions, we think about the Catholic Church, its been underfire and i know that you are very concerned about the moral decline of the world in general. So, when you think about the next pope, youve got to have to have somebody who will adapt and adhere to the catholic belief system. Thats right, and im confident that the conclave will pick someone like that, an extremely good successor not just to benedict, but john paul iv. Ap they had the history, the backtoback, and i think there are a lot of cardinals out there who could fill those shoes. Since you have an accurate track record of predicting the next pope, who is in the running . Well, im not sure that i actually predicted it. I hoped that he would be the choice. And thats close enough. I dont know. You know, at this point, i dont think theres any front runner, and i think it is really impossible to predict who its going to be. But, obviously, you have your favorites choices. I think that las vegas has odds. I dont know how valuable that is, but i think that one leading candidates would be the cardinal from quebec, the head of the congregation of the bishops. He had been a student of cardial ratzinger years ago when the cardinal was a University Professor and is really not only a brilliant man and thinker. And Cardinal Dolan a dark horse, a lot of people dont think an american would get the nod. What do you think. I think it would be most unlikely. The traditional would be that its the most powerful country in the world and not have a pope from the most powerful country and also, i think were viewed still as very young in our development. I actually, my choice, if it were fortunate enough to be an american, i would love to see american, but my choice would be Cardinal Burke who used to be the archbishop of st. Louis and hes of the highest court in the vatican, sort of the chief Justice John Roberts of the vatican and he is again, a brilliant man and very, very understanding of what the problems are in the modern world. Tucker were going to save this tape, because youve got a track record whether you admit it or not the. We appreciate it. There you go, thank you. Thank you. 18 minutes after the hour on sunday morning, coming up on fox friends, a home bursting into flames and then this happened. An explosion, sending firefighters running. More of this dramatic video ahead. And then singer leann rimes suing her dentist, saying his bad work hurting her career, including nine root canals. Does she have a case . Coming up.

In detroit, a chain reaction, killing one person and sending nine others to the hospital. And a strong burst rocking italy. The 4. 8 magnitude case, struck 50 miles southeast of rome. No reports of damage or injuries. Clayton . Thanks, anna. Fired up on twitter on the next story. She canceled concerts after dental surgery and now leann rimes wants her dentist to pay up. Shes suing him. Claiming poor dental work in preventing her from performing and hurting her career, but is the dentist really to blame here . Does miss rhymes have a case for fair and balanced legal debate and nice to see you both this morning. Good morning. Theyre not happy on twitter about this. Theyre not defending her at all in in case, but you have to this morning. Does she have a case here . Well, if the doctors care fell below professional standards, then she has a blame. If the doctor didnt inform her of the risk, hey, air going to have gum inflammation and bleeding gums, she has a claim. She knows she scheduled the surgery year the time she had to go out and perform, jonna, shes had nine root canals and bone grafts and physical therapy and all of this and says she has a permanent cosmetic deficiency as a result of it. Lets talk about the elephant in the room, shall we. The reason that leann rimes cant put people in the seats isnt because of bad teeth, its her bad behavior. A well done procedure can have risks, and you sign your life away and im sure she did, too, this dentist cant predict and see when shes going to have a convert and not well enough to perform. Thats not his business, as long as he didnt go below the standard of car. Before and after pics, it hard for me to tell. There on the right, there she is now, i suppose and there she was before. I dont see much difference, did you. This was to cure a tmj related illness and im not an a dentist, i cant make a decision based on photos and bone grafting thats serious and affects your livelihood. Remember, she is a singer and the fact that she couldnt go out and perform her craft. Thats how she gets money is an issue, its an issue. Clayton but is it his falt . If her jaw is wired shut and shes into the able to sing, its not how can you say with bloody gums. How can you go out to dinner how with bloody gums and youre uncomfortable. Wouldnt he tell you this beforehand. Im sure he did. We cant make that assumption, gug to dental court. She has waived her life away and its in california. In california not exactly sure if you can wave those rights away. Pain and suffering should more than likely, and her damages are going to be capped, but when it comes to lost wages. Clayton were talking millions of dollars here, right . To put someone, all of these people in the seats out of the concert. Thats millions and millions of dollars, and we can honestly expect him to be able to pay up. When she can reschedule and recoup. She didnt cancel because she wasnt selling out stadiums and venues . How do we know that. Thats speculative. And there is he a fact finding there. The final word and see how our folks on twitter feel about it. Let me know what you think about it. Im Clayton Morris on twitter. Get fired up. Well talk later about it on the show. On fox friends hes an admitted cop killer, why in the world are the people rallying yesterday in support of Christopher Dorner. How do you spend most of your time each day, at work, arguing with your spouse . Wait until you hear the numbers about how we spend every moment of our day.
