apparently ripples did not want to fly coach. >> some people tried to catch him up front in first class and he took off. >> i sought cat jump into the cockpit. >> shepard: attention passengers, we may be here a while. but first from fox this friday night, investigators in utah say they have stopped a potential massacre at a high school outside salt lake city. that's their words. police arresting two teens who were told had delayed a bomb plot and they had laid it out. blueprints of the school, a plan to get away in a stolen plane. fortunately we are told they did not yet have any explosives. happened in the city of roy, utah about 30 miles north of the state capital. the suspects 16 and 18 years old. this is the 18-year-old's mugshot. we're not showing the picture of his alleged accomplice because he is still a minor. but cops say the two of them planned to set off a bomb at a school assembly in order to take out as many people as possible. and as is so often the case with these sorts of crimes, it appears the inspiration was the 1999 attack on columbine high school. and cops say these young men were deadly serious. >> the specific planning and process of getting ready to do a major event that would take lives at roy high school was being prepared and planned by two young men at the school. >> shepard: but we're told the plot unraveled when the suspects texted some of their friends with a vague warning that trouble was coming. one text read: if i told to you stay home on a certain day, would you? fortunately one of those friends alerted school administrators and "the fox report" chief correspondent jonathan hunt picks up the story from there. that was the only text message that set off bells for the administrator. >> no it's not, shep. apparently it's the 16-year-old sending out these text messages according to investigators. he sent one of them to at least one fellow student using words like explosives and killing and talking specifically about the plan to get away using a stolen plane, saying in one text message we ain't going to crash it we're just going to kill and fly our way to a country that won't send us back to the u.s. now the police chief in roy, utah says the student who alerted authorities may well have saved many lives. listen. >> when the information first came, it came from someone who had very little information but was concerned about it. and we were able to quickly put some information together. >> and having put that information together, shep, they decided they had no choice but to act. >> shepard: one of those students was reportedly not only inspired by the massacre at columbine but obsessed with it. >> again, according to the investigators, 16-year-old so obsessed with the columbine massacre in 1999, last december he actually traveled to littleton, colorado and interviewed under the pretense of being a student journalist the principal of columbine high school. police also say in their affidavit in court today that this 16-year-old, quote: he was offended that he was compared to the columbine killers. he was offended by the fact that those killers only completed 1% of their plan and he was much more intelligent. we should point out that it is still unclear tonight whether these two students had in their possession any weapons or any of the explosives they talked about. but cops clearly decided, shep, that they weren't going to take any chances. >> shepard: jonathan hunt, thanks very much. six americans still trapped in egypt as the fox reports tonight. u.s. officials are warning the egyptians that they could pay a very high price if they don't let the group go. you will remember u.s. taxpayers give egypt more than a billion dollars a year in aid. this year's check is not yet in the mail. >> congress has asked for a number of certifications from secretary before this money can go forward. it is certainly something that we have been calling to the egyptian government's attention. >> shepard: one of the captives is the son of the transportation secretary ray la hood. is he sam la hood. he works for a group promoting democracy in egypt. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live in washington tonight. catherine, it's my understanding that you spoke with that hostage, the younger la hood. >> that's right. he told me, shep, they are being held for two reasons. the egyptian judge alleges that they took a salary. >> if it does go to trial, it could last up to one year in a case that's as wide raping as this one is. the penalty for that is six months to five years in jail. these are very serious charges. >> sam la hood says egyptian media is reporting that 300 organizations are affected so this does appear to be broad and wide ranging. >> does he think this is because his father is a cabinet secretary. >> good question. he doesn't believe his father's job made him a target. he said there is no question that it's hard for his dad, his mom and other families waiting for news. and tonight nothing suggests the egyptian investigation is rapping. >> concerned for my own safety as well as the family members of everyone else who works for the republic institute and other institutions. it's a little bit scary for us to be facing these very serious allegations. also for our egyptian police who work for these associations. >> sam lahood wouldn't discuss any contingency plans. go to the ambassador's residence today as far as we know that didn't happen. >> shepard: catherine herridge in washington tonight. here at home,

[explosions] we're told that's the sound of forces loyal to the syrian president bashar assad shelling residential buildings and firing on crowds of unarmed people. those activists say this video shows the bodies of children killed in that massacre wrapped in plastic bags. of course, we can't independently confirm that nor the reports of the escalating violence because syria won't let our journalists in there. the united nations estimates more than 5,000 people have died since the government began slaughtering its own citizens in march. today the united nations security council met in a closed door session to discuss a possible resolution against assad's regime. investigators are still trying to find the source of 35 pounds of cocaine that turned up at the united nations last week. police say the drugs arrived in the bags that you see here. we are told they are supposed to look like diplomatic pouches but the u.n.'s real pouches are blue, not white. somebody is kind of dumb. a spokesman for the new york police department said the lo blow came from mexico city through cincinnati and here is what they said about the possible drug trafficking. >> as far as we can tell was one off. as far as we can tell, this was something that was very clearly not intended to arrive here at all. >> shepard: now the u.n.'s head of security says somebody may have used those pouches to escape inspection at the mexican border. perhaps not intending to actually deliver them to the united nations at all. experts say the street value of that coke was more than $2 million but they would probably never have been able to get that at the u.n. there is no doubt that the average college tuition has skyrocketed in recent years. now the president says he has a plan, a plan to get the costs under control. which sounds great but the critics say the solution will only add to the problem. we'll report and let you decide from the white house. and breaking tonight, fox news confirms the pentagon is rushing to build a large floating base in the waters off the middle east. a sort of commando mother ship. we're just getting brand new details on whatever this thing is. we'll have a live report in just a minute as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news on "the fox report." in america, we believe in a future that is better than today. since 1894, ameriprise financial has been working hard for their clients' futures. never taking a bailout. helping generations achieve dreams. buy homes. put their kids through college. retire how they want to. ameriprise. the strength of america's largest financial planning company. the heart of 10,000 advisors working with you, one-to-one. together, for your future. ♪ >> shepard: this breaking news came out of nowhere for us. fox news has now confirmed the united states navy is working to set up a floating base for our commando teams in the middle east. jennifer griffin is on it live at the pentagon. what is this thing and when? >> well, i'm being told that it will be ready in about four to five months' time, shepard, sometime this summer, in essence. essentially what happened u.s. central command in a standing request into the pentagon for in essence to create a flotilla, of sorts. they wanted to take a ship that they were planning to decommission, the ussponce which had been serving as a transport dock in the mediterranean most recently for the libyan. that was supposed to be decommissioned in december. they are going to take that instead of decommissioning it, turn it into a forward operating base that could be used by u.s. navy seals. the request stands that the commando teams would be able to use it for high speed boats, helicopters, a market survey posted by military sea lift command in december asked that it be able to support mine counter measures. now, of course, the concern of late has been that the strait of hormuz could be mined. u.s. officials telling us that, yes, they are hurrying with this project to turn this ussponce into a floating flotilla that could be used as a mothership of sorts for special forces in the middle east. >> i can't wait to get a look at that flotilla. now there is word the military is working on a stronger buster busting bomb one that could infiltrate underground sites. >> the "wall street journal" did an interview with defense secretary leon panetta yesterday in which he indicated that the -- this large 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb, it's known as the massive ordnance penetrator. the pentagon had purchased 20 of these with the idea that they would be able to penetrate 200 feet into the ground and possibly be used against iran or north korean buried nuclear sites. now what panetta has indicated is that those bombs aren't strong enough and the pentagon has has asked for more money to be allocated to make a stronger bunker busting bomb. >> shepard: jennifer griffin from the pentagon tonight. thanks. i'm shepard smith. this is the fox report. it's the bottom of the hour, and time for the top of the news. colleges and universities cannot expect to jack up tuition every year while students go broke trying to pay off their loans. that's the word from the president who today called for a complete overhaul of the nation's financial aid system. the president also put schools on notice. either get ahold of spiraling tuition costs or risk losing federal funding. look at this. over the last decade, in state tuition at a four year public university has risen on average a .6% each year. and that's beyond the rate of general inflation. in other words, tuition is rising much faster than the cost of food and clothes. today the president tried to put that into some perspective. >> student loan now debt has now passed credit card debt for the first time ever. think about that. that's inexcusable. colleges and universities need to do their part to keep costs down as well. >> shepard: the president also calling for lawmakers in washington to get involved here. of course, the critics warn there could be unforeseen consequences if we move decision-making from campus to congress. wendell goler is on the top story at the bottom of the hour from the white house. what are the details of this idea and the chance that it might actually become law? >> shep, it's actually a relatively modest proposal. though it seems like the kind of expansion of government authority that republics are going to be reluctant to go along with the president wants to roughly triple the $3 billion in federal aid that college administrators distribute to students and then tie strings to that. it's the kind of idea that sells well on college campuses where students with loans are graduating with average of $24,000 in debt. mr. obama needs to build enthusiasm among young people who have r. a critical part of his election and important this year as well. the president says giving everyone the opportunity for higher education is the part of the way to make a stronger economy. but a weak economy is pinching state budgets. those states are cutting back on their aid it colleges. that's forcing colleges to raise tuition, shepard? >> shepard: president obama also addressed house democrats today it was on a number of issues. but the vice president made a pretty bold prediction, i would say. >> vice president biden predicted the democrats will take back the house of representatives today -- or in the fall, wiping out the republics 44-vote advantage. this came at a retreat on maryland's eastern shore. the president also rallied house democrats there. thanked them for having his back over the past years. but he didn't make the same prediction about taking back the house. political analyst larry sabato says doing that is a long shot. >> they are seeing the republic party maybe at its worse for the year 2012. right now they are trying to pick a presidential nominee. they're attacking one another. the airwaves are filled with negative ads. it's natural to think that the other party is self-destructing. but it's january. >> sabato says the only way democrats could win back the house is if the president is reelected by a huge margin. and he suggests that's why republics are nervous about making newt gingrich their standard bearer because gingrich polls poorly against mr. obama now, shepard? >> shepard: side item, there is now an interesting picture on the white house web site, wendell. >> shot of the president, former president george h.w. bush and mr. bush's son jeb, the former governor of florida talking today here at the -- in the oval office. mr. bush, the former president here for the annual alfalfa club dinner which is tomorrow night. the president will attend that as well. they also met about a year ago at the last alfalfa club dinner. that dinner the toughest ticket in town, shepard. the exclusive alfalfa club ironically formed 99 years ago to celebrate the birthday of confederate general robert e. lee. >> shepard: wendell goler at the white house. thank you. controversy over florida's new voting law two days before they head to polls there. came to tampa to hold a hearing on the things it will suppress turnout between young, minority and low income who tend to vote democratic. reduces the number of days for early voting. also adds new requirements for groups who register people to vote. people who have moved to a new county must now cast provisional ballots. those have sometimes gone uncounted for various reasons. supporters say the new law will save tax dollars and help prevent election fraud. phil keating with the news live in tampa tonight. are the critics suggesting some sort of master plan or another there, phil. >> make the republic master plan accusation outright or they imply it here in tampa today at the courthouse, two visiting u.s. democratic senators dick durbin of illinois and florida's bill nelson certainly did imply that citing a brennan center study for justice suggesting a million dollars voters could be impacted adversely nationwide. specifically young, minority, elderly and handicapped voters. >> any time you get a law that is reversed to reduce the number of persons in this case who can vote, of course, that's jim crow at its best. jim crow, the wife, the children, all of them. the whole jim crow family. >> florida's republic dominated legislature and republic governor also imposed new restrictions on third party voter registration efforts and in protest the league of women voters has stopped doing it for the first time in 72 years, shep. >> shepard: phil, these changes in effect for the primary could be thrown out by the november election? >> >> they could. they are being challenged on the state and federal level. the lawsuit filed by the league of women voters naacp and aclu is still in the recovery phase. however, that could actually partly explain why governor rick scott declined to come here and answer questions today. the party chairman did tell us these changes were needed to save tax dollars and target voter fraud. >> if citizens don't have faith and one person, one vote, then elections mean nothing. they have no value. >> now, under the 1965 voting rights act, all southern states that had a history of voter intimidation and discrimination must submit for a federal review any changes to that state's election laws. that includes florida. a three judge panel in d.c. is expected to rule on florida's changes this spring. leaving plenty of time until big november. shep?
