special coming up on this on another edition of hannity. see you tomorrow night. >> tonight congresswoman michele bachmann making a big announcement today. what is if? she's here to tell you herself. and a new weapon in the fight for the white house. what is? stand by. but first, senator rick santorum is blasting the national media. during a campaign stop in california he said the media is out to destroy the gop candidates. >> will you be the generation that sat on the sidelines and watched as candidate african -- afte are. candidate comes up and they try to destroy every candidate, and which they will between now and

the election, and will you sit on the sidelines and say, boy, that's not fair, or will you stand up and fight back for freedom? >> senator sen. full throttle attack on the media comes as his numbers are rising in michigan and arizona. you know what happens in one week, the michigan and arizona primaries. >> good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> michigan. i read that you do not think that it's okay for governor romney if he loses michigan? >> i don't. that's what is coming out now, if he loses, it's over for them. but if you look what might happen, it might be a close first and second between santorum and between romney. it's sil going to be a case of them splitting the delegates. is he fragile if he lou necessary absolutely. but he still has money and infrastructure and santorum is really trying to solidify the surge we've seen the last few weeks. >> and looking at the policy, senator santorum is tied in

michigan and arizona, the next two big primaries. i'm curious, i mean, why is it that he's doing as well as he is? and why isn't governor romney doing better? why do his numbers seem to be stuck? >> a couple things. i think santorum has been able to tap into this blue-collar population there as well as the catholic vote. michigan is a state it will be 30% catholic vote, and you've seen santorum the last few days really tap into that, into the contra acceptive issue the last few weeks. and i think it's hurting romney. he basically said drop dead to detroit, the auto industry bailout, $80 billion that seems to have work in many ways, i think it's really starting to hurt him there on the ground in michigan. >> all right. arizona, how do you explain those numbers? >> well, you know, i think romney is a little ahead in that race. we will see the debate tomorrow. it will be in arizona and i think a lot of those issues,

immigration is going to come up. that's a very popular issue there among grass roots republicans. so i think it seems like to me that santorum is actually playing harder in michigan than he is in arizona. i was talking to his folks earlier today. they have, you know, really focusing on that, on that state in a way that they aren't in arizona. i think you probably might see a situation where romney does well in arizona and comes close, maybe wins, maybe, you know, just comes in close second in michigan. >> and we will talk about super-pacs and about money that's come into the campaign, but the role of the super pac, it's extraordinary. each candidate has an edge on there with him n supposed to talk or communicate, but this is the election we see super-pacs emerge. >> that's right. and one of the things the super pacs allow, and i think a lot of viewers here are super pacads and it allows the candidates to play dirty and throw stones but in some way hide their hand

because they can say that's the super pac, it's not the campaign. but one thing you are starting to see from the romney campaign, they were able to dump a bunch of negative ads in florida and stop gingrich's momentum, but i think they might see some blow-back in michigan. you throw a lot of mud and some will end up on you. so they are dancing in a lot of ways around the impact of these negative ads to see if this is the strategy they want to play in michigan again. >> and the gov. romney super pac, or the ones associated him is going heavily on senator santorum. santorum is not so much fussing back at the super pac but he's going after the media because the media is aggressively going after him. any sort you open any sort of media website you read about something senator santorum said in the last ten or fifteen years. >> and that's what happens when you are running for president. this is the vetting process that every candidate goes through. i think one of the things that santorum is doing too, he is playing to the base.

this is red meat for the bait. you see people holding up signs saying don't believe the liberal media but he's able to get excitement on the base and that's an edge he has and romney doesn't. >> and speaker gingrich, who could get a lot of money through a super pac soon if someone does contribute what he might contribute, he says that president obama is dangerous. i mean, many people said that's like way over the top. >> i hear that from santorum's camp, from speeches that they make. they talk about his for yen policy, him going -- >> but dangerous? >> santorum has said some things that are close to that. they were close to the french revolution, obama wants control. i mean this is some real sort of red meat base politics they are playing and they know they can do that. romney doesn't really go there. he was asked if he was going to call obama socialist and he's not going to go down the road. but he knows they can to it.

you have gingrich calling obama the food stamp president and it in the debate. does it help in the general in probably. but right now they have to worry about energizing the base. >> we've been wrong, and whatever i say, believe the opposite because we've been wrong. >> we will keep that in mind. thank you. >> now to money. politico weapon. for the month of january governor mitt romney's campaign raised $6.5 million. gingrich raised $900,000 less. he raised 5 .$6 million. and ron at all and rick santorum each raised $4.5 million. based on the numbers romney appears to have the momentum but not so fast. numbers can be very deceiving. johnathan joins us. johnathan, they raised about the same amount, not that much difference, and then you have the influence of the super-pacs. >> and that's where we see huge sums of money coming in.

it's evened out the playing field because you can have unlimited size donations from wealthy benches factors. and gingrich in particular has benefited from this and he has some momentum in terms of when you combine his fundraising for the campaign and his super pac he actually raised the most in january. >> one of his benefactors to his super pac has said he's going to contribute $10 million and then he was quoted to quoting he might give $100 million. >> i read that quote, and i thought he was being flippant. i thought he was just throwing that out there. >> he's a billion dollars or maybe 100 million isn't that much to him. >> but the thing is he has so much money that that would not be that much money for him. you look at how many hours it would take him to make the $11 million he gave already, it's less than a week's worth of work for him because he has all the money coming in from the casinos. >> to what extent has there been a correlation between money and votes? >> votes, i mean. >> i mean, does all the money that was spent, for instance, by the romney campaign, did they

get the votes? i mean, are they paying a premium for these votes or not? >> i think that romney, i mean, he's done the best with his money. because every time he's gone in and run these attack ads or the super pac has run the attack ads. those guys, whoever he's targeting have gone right down in the policy with their approval numbers. but other people like newt gingrich, he spent $15 million, including his super pac in january, and he did not get a lot of bang for that buck. >> were his ads negative or were they about his ideas, gingrich? >> well, he's gone back and forth. one day he's going to be the positive campaigner, and the next day he's evoice rating romney for being a liar. >> how about santorum? how is he at raising money. >> at one point he was so far back behind the pack you had to use buy knock lars to see him but he's catching up but still in last a place. >> he may be last place rising

money but he's doing quite well in michigan and arizona but maybe that's because he's playing to the base. >> money is not everything but it certainly helps a lot for airtime, to get on the tv with his advertisements. but he's tapping into that conservative anxt really well. >>. >> and how is romney super pac pac -- i mean how is president obama's super pac doing? >> only raised $59,000 in january. >> he also said he's going to take public funding and he changed his mind so he can change his mind in terms of what he thinks about super pacs. >> he has given his blessing to his political aids, go fourth and raise super pac funds. so we will see how that happens. >> look, he doesn't like super-pacs, but if he doesn't let his super pac raise money, he really is cutting himself off. >> that's true. >> i mean, that would be fay tal

maybe. >> maybe. >> so why did they only raise $59,000? that is pretty bad. >> he had not yet said to his political network go ahead and do this. >> how about his campaign? he's been out campaign, he's been out raising money. >> yeah, a lot of money. and when you combine it with the democratic national committee it's a pretty impressive figure and they have a lot of cash on hand. it will be a formidable machine for them to go against. >> they have the rnc and the campaigns and president obama. >> it's pretty close. it's a route about even. republicans i think had a slight edge. >> but the republicans are probably spending a lot more, the campaigns. they are running right now. >> mitt romney is just burning through cash. he spent $32 million in january, way more than he was bringing in. i mean, that's a lot of money to go through. >> that's a problem. if you are spending that kind of money, and you are not way ahead, if you are running even

with sen. santorum, that's not a good sign you are getting a lot of bang for your buck. >> if you are a romney supporter you have to be worried they went through all that cash. >> is romney worried? >> i haven't seen -- i haven't see him concede that he's worried yet. >> the money is extraordinary and has such a huge influence. thanks. >> thanks. >> tonight congresswoman michele bachmann has big news. she's joins us from minneapolis. good evening. >> good evening. good to be on with you tonight. >> i understand you had some big news this afternoon so i won't steal the headline. i will let you do it. what was your announcement today? >> well, i announced today that i will be running in the sixth congressional district here in minnesota. the maps finally came out and so i made my announcement about what i will be doing. and the battle is engaged. and i won't be running for president, but i will be running for my seat again here in minnesota in the sixth district. >> what is peculiar you don't live in the sixth district so explain that.

what happened? >> what happened is the judges drew the maps, so i will be continuing to represent the district that i did for the last six years. i will be running for that seat. so i'll stay with the seat that i was, but the judges drew me out of that seat and drew me into a democrat seat. >> so that your home is still in the 4 -- your home was in the 6, is that it, and they carved you out in the 4 or vice versa? >> that's right. the sixth congressional district i formerly represented stayed essentially intact other than they drew me out of that seat. per the constitution we don't have to physically live in the district to represent it, and what i'll be doing is continuing that representation of the people that i represented before, and i will put my name in to run again in that seat. it will be very tough because these always are, and there is no bigger burr under the saddle of president obama. i can't imagine there's any other member he would like to see less in the house of

representatives than myself. so it will be a very difficult fight, but i announced today that i will be running in the sixth congressional district. >> all right. let's go to michigan for a second. very close race in michigan. your thoughts on it? i mean everyone is wondering what happens if gov. romney hughes it because that's, of course, his home state, that's where he was raised. your thoughts on why it is neck and neck there? >> well, it's anyone's guess why it is neck and neck. i think things will be in sharper light after the debate tomorrow night. i look forward to the debate. that's the only debate before michigan and arizona and the only debate before super tuesday. i think there's a lot of pressure tomorrow night on the debate and i think it will bring a lot of issues to light for people. they will take a look at that and that will have far-ranging impact going forward. >> what issues could possibly be left for people to consider unless you haven't paid any attention at all to the debates? i suppose there are people in the home states who have been

busy working and putting food on the table and haven't followed it, but for the most part haven't the issues been debated and argued and the differences been established and now we're just left into this food fight? >> well, i think whatever the issues are at the moment, that's what people are paying attention to. people saw 3d what obamacare looks like in the last few weeks. that played-will i into the last races, the last elections. now i think we are seeing the what's happening with foreign policy, what has president obama done wrong in terms of strategic blunders on foreign policy. i think the candidates will talk more about foreign policy and they will be talking about obamacare. it will be important in the define the presidential election going forward. super tuesday i think will be extremely important in choosing our nominee. but don't forget, barack obama

and hillary clinton battled this out until june for years ago, and i think we will probably see a nominee far before that. >> i think you are right. we started with jobs and went to social issues like contraception and the battle over that issue, and then now there's a little discussion of gasoline, and then everyone has his eyes on whether or not israel hits iran or not and what our position is in terms of supporting whatever israel does. i mean, there is sort of the narrative, i do agree with you on that. but i'm curious, are you going to be endorsing a candidate? >> well, i still reserve the right to. my intention is to be a unifying person in this race, and so i will be with whoever the nominee is. but at a certain point it may make sense to come out and make an endorsement. at this point i think it's still wide open and the people need to have their say. my intention, more than anything, is to pull people together. and at the right time that's what i intend to do. >> when does it make sense, you say, if it makes sense to

endorse, what would that be? >> well, i think those factors will come together. i think we need to get through super tuesday. i think that's very important. that's a high collection of races and i think we will have more clarity at that point. and finish, i have been focused on my sixth congressional district, what is going to happen here. i know without a shadow of a doubt i'm going to remain a very high, visible target for the democrats to defeat so i've been focused on that today in particular. >> let me ask you about iran and isreal. what would you be -- what is your position on that? what should we be doing? >> well, as president of the united states, barack obama should have come out full square in israel's court since day one of his presidency. that's the number one strategic blunder in foreign policy this president has made. and couple that with the fact that he was willing to sit down with iran for negotiations without any preconditions. terrible strategic blunders with far-reaching consequences.

he has given iran the luxury of time to develop nuclear weapons and he's continuing to make that. i think what was horrific last week we saw a suicide bomber attempt to blow up the capitol on friday in the same week the fbi director sat down with groups that were calling on the fbi to pull over 1,000 different pieces of material so that the fbi could no longer even consider the islamist slant of these potential suicide bombers. that's dangerous. it is shortsighted. we can't be political correct when it comes to securing the safety and security of the american people. these are strategic blunders made by the obama administrations. reprehensible and ones that need to change. >> in light of where we are, the president didn't sit down, it didn't go right, i'm curious whether or not you think, i'm looking into the crystal ball, whether or not you think iran is going to have a nuclear weapon or whether that will be stopped? >> i think there's no question

what iran's intentions are. >> but will they get it? >> they have made it clear with the world. >> but will they get it? >> they will if we don't prevent them from getting it. that's why we have to not only go forward with economic sanction bus we have to let it be known in no uncertain terms that we are prepared to use any weapon, including any form of our military and put it all on the table and let them know that will stand with israel that. has to be absolutely unequivocal if we are to truly achieve peace because president obama has engaged a position that has been the antithesis of ronald reagan. reagan was peace through strength and obama has defeat with weakness. that's what we are seeing. we are seeing the rest of the world has perceived weakness on his part and that's why you see the rising levels of aggressive hostility. that's very dangerous. this, i believe, is bach's legacy, it's failures on strategic policy and foreign

policy and it's why he can't have a second term. >> got to go. thank you. straight ahead this, is going to cost and it could cost politicians jobs. you will hear all about it. and also real estate agents carrying guns, farmers too, and why are they armed? where is it happening? right here in the united states. and charlie sheen is at it again. he has a message for ashton kutcher. you ok, guys-- what's next ? chocolate lemonade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast spes. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner.

>> it's happening. gas prices are spiking, over four dollars a gallon in some states. and brace yourself, it will only get worse as we head toward summer. pane at the pump is giving gop hopefuls a new line of attack against president obama. >> what are they talk about right now in the newspaper necessary. the skyrocketing gas prices may put a halt to the growing economy such as it is. [laughter] >> it's not going to take much to slow down this little train, the economy that obama's got going. >> i think we can easily deliver

gasoline at $2.50 a gallon. you like $2.50 gasoline per gallon, and you like being free of the saudis, you have a candidate. >> there are no magic solutions to rising oil prices and the pain that americans feel at the pump. >> so how much will gas prices fuel the outcome of the 2012 election? our policy reporter annie joins us. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me, greta. >> the prices always other prize ruiz in the spring but is this faster than normally some. >> absolutely. right now we would be in a seasonal low point for gas prices but they are already very, very high given it's only february. they are expected to keep on climbing through the summer as more people are driving cars, more transport, and gas demands go up in the summer so prices

will keep rising. >> why are they going up so fast? >> combination of things but mostly demands from emerging markets. you see hundreds of people join the middle class in countries like china and india and they are demanding more and more gasoline. as the global recovery happens, countries are using more and more gas. it's not anything just going on in the u.s., it's really a global issue. >> if that's true, it does not appear to be a fluctuation it goes up now and comes back later. i mean, if you are saying there's a demand that is growing around the globe this is in the something that will just be temporary? >> there's probably some temporary factors. people are very, very worried about the situation with iran and probably oil and gas speculators have something to do with it. but the overall picture is that global demand remains very, very high and there aren't a lot of new sources for gas that can come on and give that supply to meet that demand. >> all right. so now politics. the candidates are talking about what's the impact on the race with the gasoline prices going up? >> i don't think that it makes a lot of sense to think directly from the gas pump to the

presidential election. there's kind of this intermediary step that is how people are feeling about their checkbooks and how they are feeling about the economy. so oil and gas experts will tell you for every penny that the price of gasoline goes up, there's about a billion dollars out of american pockets were so we see very high gas prices, that's taking money away from families. it's not only sort of making them feel bad about their situation and giving them less money to spend on things like food, education and everything else, it's also sort of dampening their economic consequences which has a huge effect on a pries dennings -- on a presidential election. >> and people will have less money and it could slow down the recovery or put a drag on it. >> yeah. we saw it happen a year ago. gas goes up, it's a tax on the economy. there are few things that will affect the economy faster than a spike in gas rices and there's not a lot politics can do to pro vent that. >> is there anything the president can do? >> i think absolutely.

i think foreign policy experts would tell you we could go to other gas procedures and ask them to bring up their production or look at other sources. but if there's a major confrontation with iran, it will not be unilateral. there will not be one thing the president can do to stop that. and i think that has people worrying and that is showing up in the prices. >> and it isn't easy to negotiate these things. there are so many things that go into a global market. >> absolutely. the president can to some but not everybody. >> you here a lot of the drilling and keystone project and the president is getting hammered with that a lot. >> the issue with that, i think if you are looking on a ten-year time frame or five year time frame, they can bring domestic energy source online, they can. but if the immediate term there's not a lot we can do in a more or three months. and with only nine months to the election, it could hurt the white house. >> thank you. nice to see you.

>> today the dow rose above 13,000 for the first time in three years. but gains came and went to a flash. the dow closed just under the 13,000 mark. so what sent the market soaring, if only briefly and what does it mean for our economy? senior correspondent dennis neal joins us. dennis, why did it go soaring to 13,000 today? >> for months and months we've been worrying greek was going to be bankrupt and that would lead to a chain reaction around the world. today big accord in greece where greece and the european union are agreeing to a big bailout of greece. and china came in and said banks you can loosen your lending, we won't rear you to keep as much capital on hand. so the stock market 35,000 points from 13,000. i want to say let us celebrate. is it because the stock market knows six to nine months from now we will be just wonderful,

or is it just that it is a matter that investors are beginning to realize that maybe things aren't as bad as we thought? greece won't blow up. inflation under control. u.s. economy not going into recession. u.s. debt downgraded, so what. u.s. treasury still the premiere investment vehicle when people are afraid. maybe we will avoid armageddon and that can make stocks go up. we are up 7% this year, today. >> and explain to me, when president obama took office in 2009, january, 2009, the dow was at about 6700. i lost my precise numbers what it was. and now at about 13,000. why does it rise that much yet we don't seem to have the jobs, we still seem to have a sluggish economy. is there a disconnect? >> when stocks fell to 6800 level in the dow, they were priced so cheaply, there was so much fear no one wanted to own anything, that they were just artificially way too low. and people were saying, some people were saying stay in

there, it will come back, and it does come back. we are still now at 14,000 where we were in october of 2007. but we will get there, too. and remember that guy, sir john templeton of templeton mutual funds, a legendary guy, now diseased, i believe, he said if you stay in one hundred years, it will go up 1 million. you just have to wait. >> if you don't have money in the stock market at all, i mean, and you have no saves at all that you intend to put in the market, hitting 13,000, what -- is that a good sign for you anyway? >> it can be because, look, remember half the country is in stocks through mutual funds and retirement funds. investors who feel wealthier because they see the dow 13,000, they spend more and go out to eat more and go to restaurants where maybe your friends work, and they go on better vacations. all of us work for companies that provide goods and services for people and businesses that

want to buy them, and if some investors feel wealthier, they will buy more and that's good for everyone. >> and everyone feels good because of the 13k and go out and spend money to sort of ref up the economy, and then on the other hand you have gas prices rising, and which the drag on the economy because people can't drive and it affects the trucking industry and the delivery system and everything else so simultaneously we have something reffing us up and getting us happy and then a trying on the program. >> that could derail us. if we have a european government default, that would scare everyone, iran-israel problems will scare everyone, and the gasoline thing is kind of tough. i'm optimistic because as soon as gas goes up too high and we feel it too much at the pump, we stop driving as much, we start car pooling, push back and the price ends up going back down and it brings more oil drillers up to provide more gasoline because they see the higher prices and like it. >> 20 seconds left. tomorrow are we going to hit 13 again? >> if i say that we will hit

13,000 and close above it, i shall almost guarantee you that we will not so i will say that we won't and hope that we do. >> all right, den, i will be watching. when the bell closes at then of the day i'll be thinking of you. >> thank a lot. >> coming up, a woman is pushing baby stroller and was shot but the shooter was in another country. this developing story next. and the husband of a world leader caught in an awkward moment involving a young princess and what is not lucky for him it was all caught on camera. wait until you see more of this.

>> from america's news headquarters, i'm ainsley earhardt. police in georgia investigating a murder/suicide shooting which left five people dead inside a health spa. this happened in norcross, northeast of atlanta. a 911 call initially alerted authorities to that crime scene.

investigators say the person who did the shooting is one of the once dead now. but they haven't revealed the suspect's connection to the victims. a team of u.n. muclear inspectors, headed home from iran after being denied access to a suspected testing site. iran's defiance is raising further suspicion that its nuclear program is designed to make weapons. on tuesday, a top military official warned, his nation will not wait for iran's so-called enemies to strike first. i'm ainsley earhardt. now back to "on the record." and check out our web site, foxnews.com.

police say a woman was walking her baby when she was caught in the crossfire in a gun fight in mexico. mayor, tell us uhow is this woman who the shot? >> caller: well, fortunately, for her, the bullet entered and exited the fleshy, muscle part of the calf. so she was treated and released from the hospital rather quickly she didn't spend very long there. we are very fortunate that that happened. >> is there any question -- is there any question that the shooting originated in mixco and crossed the border into texas? and is -- and is there any doubt that this is parted of a drug operation or a police chase? >> caller: okay. let me try to answer the questions. number 1; until you can identify the bullet and trace it back to a weapon, there is really no way

to know for sure. but we are pretty certain that, seeing that there was a carjacking going on half a mile from the border in mexico and there were 50 rounds fired over there and approximately at the same time, this woman was struck by a bullet, which happened to be a 223-caliber bullet, from an assault weapon, that they were probably related to each other. but the good part of that news is that the mexican authorities have been training their police department, they have been trying to crack down on things like carjackings, kidnappings and extortion. and in this particular case, they did their job. unfortunately, with 50 rounds being fired from assault weapons on both sides, you know, the good guys and the bad guys in mexico, it was very unfortunate that somebody on this side of

the border did get hit. >> are you feeling any of the spillover effect from the cartel violence in mexico? >> caller: that's another good question. we actually don't know that -- that this had anything to do with cartel violence. but the cartels have heavily armed a lot of street gangs in mexico. and those street gangs, nord make extra income when they are not working for the cartels, find it very easy to go out and do thanksgiving like carjackings and extortions and kidnappings. so i can't say that it was relate to the cartel action. but i also cannot say that it wasn't. >> mayor, thank you. this is a lucky one. this was a woman -- not lucky, she was shot, obviously. but lucky that it was in the calf and that she is home tonight. thank you, mayor. caller: thank you, have a blessed day. >> thank you.

cartel violence is making it impossible to sell farmland on the border. farmers are forced to fight drug cartels, taking on dangerous cartels. the texas intercultural commissioner insists that the government needs to take action. he has twice asked the president to help. has the president replyd? nice to see you, commissioner. >> caller: thanks for coming to texas, down to the border yourself and seeing it firsthand so many times. >> i have been there a number of times. they have been over the border with the secretary of state. it is a story that need ace big spotlight. and tell me, i understand the farmers are having a hard time along your border? >> caller: well, they truly are. the recent report that he -- that we had about the farmer

unable to sell the ranch land is another example of the horrific circumstances that our farmers and ranchers are having to deal with, protecting people from terrorism is our government's basic responsibility. and this administration has utterly failed when they deny that there is a problem. >> now, you wrote the president twice. once in december and once in february. have you gotten a reply from the white house to either one ever those letters? >> caller: silence. stonewalling. we are not been responded. as you know, i even commissioned a report -- that was co-authord by major general bob scales to have a strategic military assessment of the border because i'm trying to contray -- convey to the administration what's happening. our farmers and ranchers are doing t. i created a web site called protect your texas border dot-com. the administration denies that there is a problem. i asked general scales and general mccaffrey to do a military assessment. and they said in no uncertain

terms the cartels are doing their best to get a foothold inside the united states. and the rural regions of texas are the ones that are suffering the most and our administration is turning their backs on them. >> as a footnote, both generals testified before congress and they were treated unbelievably rudely by one member of congress. vinever seen anything like it in my entire life. >> caller: i was sitting beside the general when is that occurred. it's -- we have an unbiased opinion from two of our nation's highly decorated and nonpartisan, unbiased military professionals saying the problems are extreme, the intimidation, the gun battles, the shootings, they are occurring in the rural regions of texas. 93% of texas border is rural and largely in-- unincorporated. our cities are doing a good job. it's very unfortunate what happened in el paso to the lady

hit boy a stray bullet. i think that was probably an isolated incident. but what is not isolated is that our farmers and ranchers are being chased off their own property. we have a president and a secretary of homeland security that for some reason -- and i can't understand why -- will not listen to the firsthand testimony of farmers or ranchers. when you near a trial, nobody tells a story better than those who have seen it firsthand. that's what is happening in texas. we need action. >> you know, commissioner, you know, you talk about the farmers. but, you know, every, you know, the cocaine on the streets of milwaukee and buffalo and boston special everywhere else, chances are it came through that corridor. it is not just eye feel bad for the farmers. vibeen down there and i have seen the situation. but the effect is spread throughout our entire nation. >> caller: that's right. drugs near every major city in america. the report that general scales and general mccaffrey wrote

demonstrated that in graphic terms. not only are drugs, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine heading north, measured by the ton. but we know that billions of dollars are flowing south. and it's happening. and texas just happens to be on the frontline. this is a national problem. this is an american problem. we need all americans to step up and demand that our federal government to do its job. there are some specific things that i believe that the president can do. >> commissioner, i have to go. thank you. i will come back down because i want to stay on this story. thank you, commissioner. caller: thank you. >> straight ahead, the battle of the sitcom stars. charlie sheen goes another round with ashton kutcher. and secretary of state, and it looks like the police -- now, that is the fashion police -- may be hunting her down. what does the secretary of state do? you have to see it.

>> a new round and hollywood battle. charlie sheen now apologizing to ashton kutcher. he recently criticize the coucher and said the recent

criticism was disrespectful. last year he replaced sheen on "two and a half men" after his wild and controversial rants. last year sheen called into an internet news show. he ranted about his replacement. but now a change of heart. sort of. sheen wrote kutcher a letter saying in respect i was disrespectful to a man doing his best. i got excited and threw you into the crossfire but the rest of my statement i stand behind. you, however, deserve better. and an embarrassing royal moment. it's caught on camera. cameras catch the husband of phenodin mark's princess mary. they were sitting next to each other and suddenly he began to stare at the young princess. when she caught him, he quickly looked away. she kept her composure. automatic war. this is probably not the way she planned. looks like she did not get the fashion memo.
