religion. is that how it is coming down? >> it deep and somewhat side of the political spectrum you fall on. stuart: the media research center's they will tell us how they handled the religious freedom hill. what do you think? more of today's headlines. a government incompetence for you today. lauren simonetti had all of those stories. >> good luck, everybody getting help with your taxes. the tax deadline is two weeks away. ignoring more than 60% of taxpayers phone calls. the worker was with the equal

11:16 am
the senate? >> by all accounts, they are only a couple away. maybe one vote away from the super majority that would enable them. negotiations going into another day. secretary kerry has to come back with something tangible. something to take to democrats on capitol hill. something tangible to say give us time here at otherwise they will move forward with this bit. once you get to that number, it could be 85 that didn't jump on and say you know what, i do get. >> and added sanctions if they do not meet the agreement in
11:17 am
switzerland. you are saying that they have a bill. it poses more sanctions on iran. they probably will get the required votes that override that veto which would destroy the negotiations i think. >> it would essentially mean that the u.s. would have to stowaway. they would increase from congressional action. that is something that the administration has fought tooth and nail and fought back against. you will not see any of these lawmakers say this is a great deal. keep on going. >> why now? >> they are breeding the reporting of what is or is not in the deal. to be fair, we do not know all of the details.
11:18 am
everything that we are hearing suggest that the u.s. continues to move closer to iran on this negotiation. >> i know that it is reporting about what is going on behind closed doors. is there anything that we have gotten as opposed to what we have given away. >> no. i cannot really list anything specific they. we battled the family over that for several weeks. the u.s. was saying 6000 spinning center fuchsias. a number that the israelis and other experts say was a little disconcerting. you get to the final day and they say you know what, we will keep the enriched fuel in the country instead of exiting it to russia. that is a totally different deal.
11:19 am
>> would it be true to say that prime minister still resonates with senate democrats. >> definitely. he should have defined the white house and all of that back and forth on that. i think that there were many democrats who line up with netanyahu on the substance of iran. stuart: we will be glued tonight at vix pm eastern here it thank you for joining us. seven people shot at a spring break party. just down in florida checking out the party scene. was that shooting an isolated incident or part of a growing trend of craziness? >> i have seen people smoking. i have seen people doing plenty of stuff on the beach

explicit. ♪ >> we are back. panama city beach. ♪ >> what have you all seen at spring break this year? >> wild stuff. >> i have seen some sexual intercourse on the beach. >> did you stop it? did you go and help the girl? >> she was clearly enjoying it. >> i think that we can agree that that was pretty outrageous. >> i do think that it is concerning.

11:27 am
stuart: that city is making a lot of money. >> they are. they just had an emergency meeting. they decided no more alcohol on the beach for the rest of spring break. stuart: things can improve. remarkable report. thank you for being here. minutes away from arkansas governor. is he going to sign it? will he fix it? ♪
11:31 am
stuart: we are waiting for arkansas's governor a son hutchinson told a news conference moments from now. he will talk about the religious freedom bill. judge andrew napolitano with us. indiana is the same as arkansas same constitutional principles involved? judge napolitano: the statute is essentially the same. the lot is essentially the same meaning the law in the envy law arkansas does not prohibit discrimination in housing or public accommodation. and not if governor hutcheson plans this states will say if
11:32 am
you do discriminate in housing or public on the basis of sexual orientation can you can elevate a religious reason for that you can't be sued or prosecuted. stuart: a fix for arkansas would be inclusion of the words sexual orientation in a protected class of people. judge napolitano: it already -- arkansas law already protects as does indiana what the federal law protects race gender, national origin, general greed. stuart: suppose no fixed takes place in indiana or arkansas. judge napolitano: you will see this all over again. stuart: a la stock left and right. judge napolitano: he is the media frenzy for arkansas has has been the case for indiana. we will see if governor had to some handles it with more
11:33 am
political sagacities and anything. stuart: the right, conservatives the rate has no problem with the gays but the left has a problem with religion. does that encapsule -- judge napolitano: that is an oversimplification but i understand the motivation behind that one liner. the motivation in indiana was to provide legal basis for people who don't want to for example provide a service to a same-sex marriage because their religious views find same-sex marriage repellent. wanted to insulate them from liability by the people whose services they deny. stuart: father jonathan morris who is on the program monday, what happens if the gay couple approaches the catholic church and says mary us, the catholic
11:34 am
church says we won't mary landrieu a couple says wait a minute you get tax breaks for being non-profit. not sure the precise expression. you get a tax break you are getting benefits and our society. you won't include us. judge napolitano: interesting argument. i don't know how father jonathan answered it. the catholic church, in the church is not a public accommodation. it is not covered by the civil rights act of '64 or any of these state laws. it is one where you can walk in and require the proprietor to deliver the good or service to you. a church has certain standards before you can require the services namely acceptance of core beliefs. stuart: you can see the point that it is the court the lawsuit that pushes the former social change --
11:35 am
judge napolitano: lawsuits galore against governments for giving tax breaks to religious organizations. it is done everywhere in the united states and always fails. stuart: changing public opinion could change the opinion offered by the court. judge napolitano: absolutely. changing public opinion could change the underlying law. what is a reflection of what the legislature think the public wants. stuart: i don't think i have ever seen a social issue where public opinion has moved so very quickly. in the last 20 years i believe acceptance of the marriage has gone from 30% of the population to 60%. in the making 2005 justice scalia dissented from a decision by the supreme court and in his dissent predicted in ten years you will see their marriage all-around united states and the rest of the court laughed at him. what are you crazy? he was right. with the you believe it is the right thing or not has happened so quickly so rapidly almost
11:36 am
under our noses. usually society precedes law. this is the opposite, this is where law has preceded that. stuart: this is one of the things i admire about america. we as people change our opinion. who we are. judge napolitano: if you hadn't said that with great sandwich. i cannot do it in this environment. what you are saying is true and at times the system works the way it is supposed to work in your admiration from it is deeply gratifying. stuart: that -- judge napolitano: where is governor hutcheson. your great producer said we arranged the morning for you. governor hutcheson, you could attack him as soon as he
11:37 am
finishes it. stuart: it is 11:36 and he has not shown up yet. is he going to fix it or not? judge napolitano: i hope he is listening. stuart: thank you very much. we are going to check the market, we are down 100 points. we were down 150. now we are down 100. there are several signs that the market the economy is slowing down. and the weakness in manufacturing, private-sector jobs housing too. that is beginning to weigh on the market, 17-6 is where we are. look at go daddy but it started trading today. go daddy is a place where you go when you want to buy a website name. 20 was the offering price, 26 is where is now. the chief is on "countdown to the closing bell" today. liz claman, that will be 3:00 p.m. eastern. iran nuke talks going to over time. will still be low $50 a barrel, the iran talks and oil are
11:38 am
connected the gas down again $2.40 is your national average, the price of regular four and five story begins. i am going to get a plunge in gas prices. don't say a word, judge. the cheapest gas in america, you can talk about this if you like, judge napolitano: no matter what it costs to get there. stuart: $1.72. i could fill up my chrysler town and country. judge napolitano: matt is 2000 miles from here. stuart: we have to go to a break. asa hitchinson back in a moment. >> appreciate it legislative leaders and how they have conducted themselves throughout this session. and including this process. as everyone knows house bill 1228 is now on my desk and it is time for me to take up look at it and make some comments and
11:39 am
reference to it. this is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial but these are not ordinary times. this bill is not really complicated. the bill itself restates the standard of review for the courts to consider in determining first amendment privileges as a way against the compelling interests of the state. simply stated as a summary as to what the legislation does. it is a balancing test. the bill itself does not pick winners and losers. it balances two competing constitutional obligations that our founding fathers gave to us. but the issue has become divisive because our nation remains split on how to balance the diversity of our culture with the traditions and firmly
11:40 am
held religious convictions. it has divided families and there is clearly a generational gap on this issue. my son seth signed petition asking me the governor to veto this bill. and he gave me permission to make that reference and it shows that families there's that generational difference of opinion on these issues so where are we now? high have asked the process of legislative leaders and members that certain changes be made. in some instances they were accommodated and changed and in other instances they said no. the balance between the executive and legislative branch i certainly respect those bodies. it has been my intention all
11:41 am
along that house bill 1228, the religious freedom restoration act, be crafted in a way that mirrors the federal will ledges freedom restoration act. it was passed in 1993 and was signed by president clinton. i came to congress after that but sat on the judiciary the house of representatives, that considered these amendments had hearings on this federal religious freedom restoration act and so i am somewhat familiar with it and how it played out across the country. it was my intention because the federal law does not cover state causes of action that we have a similar law in arkansas but we wanted to have it crafted similar to what is at the federal level. and to do that changes need to be made. the bill that is on my desk at the present time does not
11:42 am
precisely mirror the federal law, particularly allowing the first amendment to be asserted in a private litigation between parties or upon the state law and those claims. i asked the changes be made in the legislation and i have asked that the leaders of the general assembly to recall the bill so that it can be amended to reflect the terms of the federal religious freedom restoration act. in the alternative it can simply have some language changes so that the accommodations and changes can be made. easily done by recalling the legislation or having additional legislation that would accomplish those changes. again this is the difference between the executive branch,
11:43 am
legislative branch we all have our responsibilities and different viewpoints. my responsibility is to speak out of my own convictions and do what i can as governor to make sure this bill reflects the values of the people of arkansas, protect those of religious conscience but also minimizes the chance of discrimination in the workplace and the public environment. is important to recognize that the bill as currently drafted does not change who we are. it does not change the current protections against discrimination. this bill simply define the standard to determine the right balance but how do we as a state communicate to the world that to be respectful, diverse workplace, we want to be known as the state that does not
11:44 am
discriminate but understands tolerance. that is a challenge that we face. making this law like the federal law will aid us in that effort in communication but my original objective from the beginning. that option is that we are looking at to utilize an executive order which interestingly has not been utilized from my research from the executive branch and state government in terms protecting against discrimination in the workplace for state government. we are looking at an executive order stage in that communication and make it clear that arkansas wants to be a place of tolerance, we want to be a place that has the right balance between religious protections and religious freedom and nondiscrimination.
11:45 am
also we could be assured this will continue to be a robust debate in the future. i understand about title has been approved by the attorney general that may put on the ballot an extension of the civil rights protection to additional classes of citizens of arkansas. that debate will continue and be determined by the people of this state through legislative body or through a vote of the people. this conversation does not end. i expressed my view to the legislature and invited them to respond to the requests of the governor that changes be made in the current bill to make it reflect federal law that sets the right tone for arkansas and the future to look at additional action down the road, depending on the action the legislature
11:46 am
might take. i will see the president has any comment. stuart: i think we have got the main points from that press conference and the main point is this. governor hutchinson will amend the law. he will change the law to bring it into line with the federal law. he will introduce language into the current law which is not yet signed or he will recall the legislators to pass the new law. one of those two things will happen. he will align state law with federal law. that is his fix. adam shapiro is here following is all the way through. there's one more edition. >> they are considering essentially at gay-rights ordinance for gay and lesbian people that will be there be done by the legislature in arkansas or ballot initiative. on the ballot in the next election. the discussion is not over on this topic. stuart: this is very important. he will put on the ballot in
11:47 am
arkansas all the people of arkansas will vote on extended protected class. >> he didn't take gay and lesbians. he said the legislature would bring this up or it would be on the next ballot. i don't know if they have a referendum process in arkansas or not but he said this was coming up but regards to the lining of the religious freedom restoration act with federal law, how the indiana law and arkansas law apparently differ from federal law is that they give the religious protection to corp. and allow individuals to use the law as the balance he said. when the government is not even involved. federal law doesn't do that. we have the supreme court boat -- you don't have the individual situation. stuart: bottom line the fix. "america's nightly scoreboard". >> legislature has to fix it.
11:48 am
if you get this fixed and they bring into line with federal law will walmart be satisfied. >> i think they will be satisfied as long as the legislature does what walmart wants them to do and islip my answer earlier walmart has all the power in arkansas. stuart: hillary clinton tweeted on this. here is the hillary tweet like the indiana law arkansas bill goes beyond protecting religion would permit unfair discrimination against algae beat the americans, hired the governor to the day. dagen: a former attorney in arkansas forget that she is hillary clinton she was an attorne little rock arkansas. she knows better than anybody the law in that state. >> sheila bair two decades. governor hutchinson has given his legislature the ability to get out of jail, to exit this storm quietly.
11:49 am
if they don't accept it who knows who is running the show but this can now go away. that is what he has done at the end of the day. walmart will probably say yes. stuart: it has gone away at the state level. going away at that level but social issues are now front and center in the 2016 republican nomination. >> that is what i was going to say. i cannot help wondering is the tea party behind this movement? i.t. gerri: nations going on in the gop? >> it is generational. he said it. his son asked him to veto the law. the republican party the republicans are listening to the storm mike penn attended general assembly brought them into. there's a young voter who will vote republican but on this issue is a losing issue. stuart: democrats will make this a bigger issue in 2016. >> i worry they might be doing
11:50 am
that on this particular issue to the young voters's point. stuart: thank you for covering a very important story. a promising new cancer treatment shrink tumors in mice. when will it be used in humans? dr. mark siegel next. ♪ ♪ ♪ sustainable tea tree oil and kale... you, my friend, recognize when a trend has reached critical mass. yes, when others focus on one thing you see what's coming next. you see opportunity. that's what a type e* does. and so it begins. with e*trade's investing insights center, you can spot trends before they become trendy. e*trade. opportunity is everywhere.
11:51 am
11:54 am
in the one arkansas governor asa hitchinson said he will ask for a fix to the state religious freedom law. to ensure there is no discrimination against gay americans. will that fix satisfy walmart? experimental drug cuts tumors in half. is this another of those developments which is years and years before it can be used on humans? >> a few years away. we talked about polio. this one may be four or five years away. it looks at the fact that estrogen helps certain cancers like breast cancer. stuart: where estrogen with breast cancer actually enables breast cancer cells to grow and if you are resistant to some of
11:55 am
the usual therapy for breast cancer they are now figuring out ways to shut off that receptor and cause the cancer cells to die. it looks like it has up to a 50% response rate. again a few years away but it is what we are calling targeted therapy. we are saying how do we target that cancer cells and to let much better than we used to. stuart: present nixon launched the war on cancer. cancer is still with us. any idea? >> use the war analogy. now we are figuring out the right battle and the right soldiers. the goal is to convince the bodies that the cancer is a foreign invader. that is what we are doing with the polio virus and this. this looks at the cancer cell
11:56 am
has an abnormal cell because the cancer cell is expressing a receptor it shouldn't have. the strategy mixing was predicted and was a couple years off in the future. stuart: before you go what is this about tylenol not being much good for the treatment of lower back pain? >> this was a study out of australia. 13 other studies we looked down at australia. stuart: i like this job. >> this was an interesting study because it tried to look at 13 other studies that showed that tylenol or acetaminophen use for knees, hips, backs doesn't work better than any other therapy. my view is it depends on the patient. for some patients i don't want you taking at fill every day, i want to alternate but tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory but if you tell me my back is bothering
11:57 am
me from sitting or suddenly my back started bothering me you might take tylenol and it might help you. it depends on the patient. stuart: might is not a good word from a doctor but thanks for being with us dr. mark siegel. harry reid admits he lied on the senate floor when he said mitt romney didn't pay his taxes. that influenced the election in favor of president obama but no penalty for harry reid. he lied, no penalty. we have that new at noon. the indian religious freedom lot getting three times more coverage on the other networks than the e-mail scandal from hillary. brent bozell on that can't wait. our two two minutes away.
11:59 am
12:00 pm
success. how come he is so good at it? he knows how to play hardball and homeless remember the irs intimidating conservatives? remember harry reid saying mitt romney hasn't the taxes? that was a lie and harry reid knew it but if the senator now says it worked, and mitt romney loss. that is hard ball. the president is very good at it so how come almost everything else has gone so wrong? the climate giveaway to china, the nuke cave to iran, isis terror richard division at home massive unpayable debt, the shrinking middle class a chaotic obamacare ever rising taxes, it is a long list and none of it is good. all of it can be laid at the president's door. it is too late to change course. america is locked into a set of failing policies but we can say what we want in the next president. someone who thinks america is a good country stuart: the country that has contributed mightily to the
12:01 pm
prosperity and freedom of people everywhere. we might look for president who loves individual liberty, not a collectivist, how about president respects the constitution, a president who understands give and take, negotiation. and last how about a president who plays hardball with our enemies. these days we could all hope for that kind of change, can't we? >> i ask through this process that certain changes be made. in some instances they were up dated and changed. in other instances they said no. that is the balance between the executive and legislative branch i certainly respect those bodies. stuart: you saw it on this program, arkansas governor asa
12:02 pm
hitchinson sending his religious freedom bill back to the legislature telling them fix it so it won't be used to discriminate against gay americans. we are waiting for walmart's response to the governor's statement. walmart did not like this bill. coming the media research center founder brent bozell is going to sound off on the 1-sided coverage of the arkansas and indiana laws. brent joins us 15 minutes from now. check the big board the economy appears to be slowing down significantly. down goes the doubt to the tune of 100 points. go daddy is a winner today. shares begin treating this morning. 20 was the offering price, 26 is the share price. blake irving is on "countdown to the closing bell" with liz claman today at 3:00 p.m. eastern. moving quickly to the price of oil we are just below $50 a barrel the price of oil is up today gas falling again $2.40
12:03 pm
is the national average and had fallen for five straight days. not quite a streak but getting there. back to president obama. i say he is great as a politician but failing as a leader. for more on this is jason riley senior fellow at the manhattan institute, you going to quibble with me or agree wholeheartedly? >> i quibble with you. that makes better television. my idea of an effective politician with the power to persuade they're not afraid to compromise because they think they will get most of what they want. is president doesn't seem to have that skill. that is why we have seen him go outside the constitutional boundaries to get much of what he wants done whether it is rewriting the clean air act or immigration reform. this president doesn't like to work within the constitutional boundaries so he is governed by edict, by executive order and to me that shows the weakness of political skill. stuart: why is he like this? had he compromised had he
12:04 pm
reached out to the opposition, compromise on a lot of major issues he would have got far more and the policies would have been better. >> he seems reluctant to engage with congress and that is a personality trait getting into the nitty gritty with lawmakers and cutting deals and so forth. he seems to want to be above it all but that is what governing is about. he doesn't have a taste for that. i also argue he has been bad for the democratic party. his party lost the house in 2010. it lost the senate. in 2012. it is going to be very difficult for democrats to succeed him. in that sense i don't think he has been good for his party. stuart: seems a democrat from the senate are moving away from them rapidly. >> we have seen that for some time running against the president because of his popularity falling and so forth. i expect that to continue. stuart: it does look like the democrats can assemble 67 votes in the senate to override a veto
12:05 pm
from president obama on the issue of sanctions on iran. >> another deal that shows his failure as a politician. this is someone who is willing to have a deal with the u.n. but not the u.s. congress. to me that is a problem in the u.s. president and that is what we have seen from obama in these iran negotiations with the stuart: i just said i would like to see a president who respects the constitution favors individual liberty, capable of negotiation, capable of reaching out to the other side. you share my opinion. >> adds stuart:. stuart: they see any republican with those qualities? >> we will see. that is why we have the primary process. we will see various politicians. i think the republicans have a deep -- there are any number of republican presidents, a presidential prospects who have the ability to do that. which one is going to rise to the top? we will see but i don't think there's any shortage of individual talent on the gop side. stuart: i can't cry your nose
12:06 pm
out or push. jason riley, good stuff. in 2012 then senate majority leader harry reid stood on the floor of the senate and accused presidential candidate mitt romney of not paying his taxes. just listen to him. >> disclosed one year. his father george romney, people running for president file their tax returns. mitt romney can't do that because he has paid no taxes in the prior 12 years. stuart: basically paid no taxes in the prior 12 years. harry reid unapologetically admitting he made it all up. listen to what he said at a recent interview. >> no regrets about mitt romney, the koch brothers, some people call it mccarthy like? >> they can call it whatever they want.
12:07 pm
he didn't win, did he? stuart: i am speechless. elizabeth macdonald is here. pecan talk about it. that to me is incredible. the leader of the united states senate stands on a floor of the senate and lies he knows he lies and he did it because he is protected in fat lie because he is on the floor of the senate. of the 9 doing reporting on this the constitution gives him legislative immunity. he is speaking from the senate floor and the constitution says the conducing like this with immunity because he is talking about legislation. they were talking about a jobs bill for veterans at the time in august of 2012 so unless he commits treason or a felony he wasn't apparently sworn in so he didn't commit perjury so he is given in unity. stuart: he characterized mitt romney, not paid his taxes a total lie. of rich guy very powerful rich
12:08 pm
