home? the secretary of state hillary clinton not exactly on the same page. "fox & friends" hopefully on the same page and that page is coming to you right now. >> good morning, everyone. actually what makes the show entertaining is we're not always on same page. right? topics of discussion. and debate. >> i thought it was interesting that you just said bill clinton says drill, baby, drill. >> because the story is actually going to enlighten everybody on what we're talking about. >> it's interesting on so many levels. >> even within the household, there's discussion and debate. now the headlines beginning with a fox news alert. according to nato, there were two shooters, one of them dressed in an afghan soldier's uniform. we don't know if either victim is american. this the latest in the case of

afghan soldiers or militants disguised in their uniforms turning against nato troops. today's killings follow the shooting death of four american soldiers last week. they died during an outbreak of nationwide protests in reaction to the burning of those qurans. death toll rising after a major storm system slammed the midwest and now it's headed east. at this hour, 12 people have died in these storms. the latest three deaths reported in tennessee. leveled by what was likely a tornado. widespread damage in harrisburg, illinois. a twister tore through the small town yesterday morning leaving six people dead. three other people killed in missouri. a 22 mile long tornado left significant damage in branson. that, of course, a popular resort town and three people critically hurt in tornado in harveyville kansas. the church was also destroyed. after three days without power in pirate infested waters, passengers on board an italian cruise ship finally on dry land. brand new video here.

this is the costa allegra docked at the sayshells with more than 1,000 people on board. a fire knocked out the power. the ship left madagascar on sunday and was 200 miles south of the seychelles when all of this happened. >> not having enough food. not being able to rest well at night. heat was unbearable. we had to spend most of our nights on the top deck of the ship. >> the costa allegra is a sister ship of the costa concordia. you remember that ship capsized off the coast of italy last month leaving 32 people dead. a memorial growing on the hollywood walk of fame surrounding the star of davy jones. he died of an apparent heart attack yesterday. he was apparently going to visit his horses when he suffered breathing problems in his car.

they say jones' death does not appear to be suspicious though he did to be in perfectly good health a few days ago when he took the stage for what would be his time performance. take a look. >> ♪ oh what can it mean ♪ to a daydream believer ♪ and a homecoming queen >> jones' former bandmates, mickey dolans, peter torque and michael nessmith paying tribute to jones. he leaves behind his wife and four daughters. >> and our show has a connection to davy jones big time. we're reminded by one of our former workers yesterday, gretchen that davy jones when show was "fox express" was maybe our first -- 1998, 1997, was our first celebrity guest. any time we had a guest on, they put him in the davy jones spot. >> he was the first big celebrity and he wasn't in the regular configuration so we had to put him over the side.

we would do that. i remember singing that song "daydream believer" with him outside and getting a whole bunch of new yorkers to sing along as well. >> that, i don't know. do we still have that on tape? were they using tape back then? i don't know what they used. >> we're look at kinescope. >> fantastic. you and jake par. >> let's talk a little politics now because that's on the top of a lot of people's minds as this race continues to the finish line so now it turns out that even though rick santorum, the former senator lost by three percentage points, he lost a popular voted in michigan as well. could it be that it was actually a tie now? turns out that both mitt romney and rick santorum looks like they're both going to get the same number of delegates coming out of michigan at 15 a piece. here's santorum. >> this is a huge win for us. let's play it the way it is. don't give romney the stent. we went into his backyard and he spent a fortune, money he had no intention of spending and we came out of there with the same number of delegates he does.

we are in great shape going into this election. we are excited about what's going to happen on super tuesday. >> well, republican state authorities in michigan actually disagree with the senator from pennsylvania there. they say that mr. romney will actually wind up with more delegates because what they did is they had the -- they both won the same number of districts. however, there is this thing in michigan where whoever wins the statewide vote gets two at-large delegates so romney would wind up 16 and santorum 14 so it was not a -- mr. romney, according to them, fair and squarely won. >> yeah, but rick santorum has a strong case because he was out yesterday saying look, i was outspent 6-1. if i did that in pennsylvania, you can -- i can guarantee you we wouldn't have lost. we're going to smoke him there because we've got a better message. >> we're going to smoke him! >> yeah, mitt romney came out when he heard some of this and weighed in because he's extremely -- he's got a bounce in his step after that two state

victory so let's see what he had to say. >> they don't want to face me in the fall. they'd rather face rick santorum, and so they came in large numbers and voted for rick. you know, i think that was a huge mistake on his part. republicans saw right through that and saw if barack obama wants to run against rick santorum, we're not going to give him rick santorum to run against. >> rick santorum called on democrats to vote in his column and probably gave an estimated three percentage points victory, closed the gap by three percentage points by getting that. that's what he's referring to. >> it's an open primary. if you want to change the rules, then each state should change their rules. i mean, first of all, why do states have different rules? i guess it's up to them. it's very confusing because, for example, in arizona, all 29 delegates go to the winner. but in michigan, they don't and in many other states, they don't. and to add more confusion to the process, in some states only registered republicans can go

and vote in a republican primary but in a lot of states everyone can go and vote. so was it just a tactic to get people out to go and vote? i mean, i think that as long as the primary is open and maybe if you are there for the general election, it's smart strategy to go after democrats and independents. >> it is a strategy. and the experts -- the numbers crunchers say that rick santorum probably would have lost by between 6 and 10 had he not made those robocalls asking democrats to vote. last night on "special report," bret baier asked this question. is courting democrats in an open g.o.p. primary good politics or bad politics? 23% of you said bad -- said good politics. 76% of you said it is bad politics for a republican to court democrats. >> all right. surrogate by the way of mitt romney said not only does he not agree with what rick santorum's robocalls did, mike turner,

congressman of ohio said he should give back the delegates he won because -- that's not going to happen. >> are you sure? >> come on. >> let's talk about president obama, he was finally asked about his apologies in afghanistan for the burning of the qurans in the absence of any type of recognition publicly anyway that people are being killed because of that and in response to that, the president on what his apology did or didn't do. >> the reason that it was important is the same reason that the commander on the ground, general allen apologized and that is to save lives. and to make sure our troops who are there right now are not placed in further danger. >> it's hard to tell, you think it has improved it? >> it calmed things down. we're not out of the woods yet. >> yeah, it calmed things down. barack obama, so he apologized last week for the burning of the qurans. we're still waiting for the apology from karzai for the

killing of americans. >> and what he had rated there is the generals apparently on the ground had asked him to do that. >> jennifer griffin said that did not happen. they contacted allen and said i never asked the president to apologize. >> that adds a new wrinkle to the whole story. in the meantime, this is my favorite story of the day, i think it's emblematic of what a lot of us go through at home or at work which is within a close family unit, we can have disagreements, right? look at this energy divide between president clinton, the former president and his wife hillary clinton who now, of course, is the secretary of state. it comes down to the keystone pipeline. now, you know that the administration, the obama administration has said no, we're not going to build this and many people have criticized the administration for that. well, how does president clinton feel about it? >> because the extra cost of running it is infinitesimal compared to the revenues that

will be generated over a long period of time. i think we should embrace it and develop a stake holder driven system of high standards for doing the work. >> the controversial part is going over this sand hills of nebraska which most of you don't even, like me, been there but he said there was no reason to design it going over there. what i did find, i need an explanation for it. when john boehner was at the white house yesterday, he asked president obama, hey, can you build a keystone pipeline? he goes, i'll give you some of it. what does that mean? how do you build half the piem li -- pipeline? >> we'll give you part. boehner was saying i hope you get the part that was building out of canada. there you got bill clinton giving democrats a nice talking point for when they eventually cave on the keystone x.l. pipeline? but he's got a problem at home which is what gretch was referring to earlier. hillary clinton who is the secretary of state, keep in mind, it's the state department that figures out whether or not

a pipeline can go across an international boundary, she's not so fast to say let's build it. listen to this. >> even the former president, bill clinton, says embrace it. >> very smart man. but he, unfortunately, is not bound by the laws and regulations any longer of the united states to make decisions that follow a certain procedure and that's what we have to do. >> is it a mistake for the former president to say embrace it? >> of course not. i think it's not a mistake for people -- this is america. people say they embrace it. people say they hate it. our job is to, you know, take a very clear eyed look at what the facts are. >> 2 1/2 years. >> her job must be tough from time to time because she has to -- >> her boss is the president. >> she has to defend president obama over her husband. ok? that's a tough job. >> but in reality, if it was the state department that came back with a report that said build it so that we can have

some oil from a friendly neighbor, then there would be no debate. the state department takes their orders really from the white house, then she is out of luck. >> you know they've already got a reroute figured out so i don't know why they're dragging their feet. one of the things that bill clinton also said yesterday was one of the best things about being out of office is you can say whatever the heck you want. >> the other thing is -- >> you want all politicians to do that? that's what america is fed up with, politicians don't say exactly what they think. >> because then they can't get re-elected. >> exactly and that's the whole point of how this whole thing grew in the last couple of years where people were frustrated with that. including me. >> right, obviously. if you can build some elbows to get some turns into the pipeline to get it away from nebraska sand hills and down the middle of the country, this way we can have oil from canada instead of venezuela because hugo chavez is a little angry at us. >> besides we don't want to have to buy the canadian oil from china. >> that's true. that's who they might be selling it to and we'll find that out in

the next few months. have you seen the markets lately? they seem to be doing great and the mainstream media already giving president obama the credit. but does he deserve it? stuart varney here to crunch the numbers and tell me about my own 401k. >> you know him, you love him, man of many talents, larry the cable guy getting it done. he's going to get it done here this morning. join us live for him.

>> welcome back. stock market here in the united states making an upswing off

unexpectedly positive economic indicators. take a look at this. since january 1st, the dow, s&p and nasdaq all up. but the mainstream media is suggesting the surge is happening because wall street expects president obama to win re-election in november. stuart varney says that couldn't be more wrong. what are you talking about? cnbc says stock prices are rising on growing expectations he will be re-elected in november. you are going to disagree with cnbc? >> oh, yes i am! no, this is a classic case of making your politics, influencing your investment judgment. stocks have gone up in each of the last five months. and the establishment media is saying, well, they've gone up in the last five months because we expect president obama to be re-elected. there's a nice, positive cast to that equation. >> uh-huh. >> i think the exact opposite. i don't think it has anything to do with politics at all. the markets have gone up for a variety of reasons. >> ok. >> primarily, american companies are making a ton of money

overseas. the 500 biggest american companies make way more than half their profits overseas. ok? and they -- profitability, that's the big deal, that's what pushes stock prices higher. >> you say the whole world is making money except us. >> the rest of the world is actually doing pretty well, asia, china, doing very well indeed. latin america doing well. europe is not doing well but we're making money in asia and latin america and that translates into higher stock prices here. >> when it comes -- stuart, historically when it comes to what the stock market does after a presidential election, generally, the traditional wisdom is that the street likes gridlock and like it when nothing happens. now we're stuck with so much debt, you would think that everybody would want something to get done whereas let's say a republican and -- wins the white house and there's a republican legislature, stuff would get done as opposed to loggerheads. >> let me chuck the politics into the mix here for a second. if president obama is re-elected

and gets four more years, how do you think investors will react to the prospect of yet more debt, higher taxes and a sluggish economy? i don't think they'll react very well. if we have a republican in the white house and republican congress, i think it might be very, very different. that's putting politics into investment judgment because you would get more growth in the economy and more profitability. that's my position. >> and despite your point of view, the mainstream media have headlines like this, markets start to anticipate obama victory in november. >> that's why it's going -- >> i disagree entirely. >> i know it. you'll be talking about that and so much more three hours from right now on fox business. the great stuart varney, thank you very much for joining us live. >> the great, i like that! thank you, steve. the great steve doocy. >> you get up this early, you get a little special salutation. >> thank you. >> straight ahead, is the gas pump really a voting machine? up next, the guest station owner -- that guy right there who says the pump will tell us more than the polls. he's coming up. >> plus you heard about it

>> yep, it's a pain at the pump for all of us right now. gas prices rising and the national average for a gallon of gas up to $3.74. but those high prices not only affecting the everyday consumer, it may also predict the presidency? jack is the owner of a gas station in brooklyn, new york and he's owned gas stations for the last 25 years. you see it first hand, right, jack? >> i'm right there.

>> what do you mean that -- you say that it can -- it can choose presidential electionses even more so than the polls, why? >> as the price of gas rises, the average little guy feels it and they feel it in their pockets and it hurts them in ways that it trickles down. they don't go to the supermarket. they buy less food. they may not buy their bagel and coffee and that affects the economy in general. >> what do customers say to you as they're filling up their pump? >> they're not happy. >> or their tank. >> they're not happy. they're extremely not happy. and part of that is, i believe myself, don't claim to be an economist or an economist, is the futures trading. gasoline should be regulated just like if you're going out and getting a mortgage, that should be regulated. they almost killed us a few

years back with the unregulated mortgages, gasoline should not be manipulated by wall street. >> you also think that the president should have a stronger message to iran? >> absolutely. absolutely. what we need to do is get the world community together, that includes china and russia and tell iran that the straits of hermuth will stay open. send a contingency of ships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, whatever it is and tell that little pip-squeak in iran that he's got a 500 mile radius. >> he's not going to like that. >> or whatever. and if he tries to do anything at the strait, we're going to boom, blow him out of the sky. >> there seems to be debate about whether or not a president can actually affect the price at the pump. let's look at president obama's job approval rating right now. 43% approve. 50% disapprove. do you think that a president can do anything? you're in the business. can they?

>> the president has to or should open up the oil reserves at this particular time to get the price down and we should get the pipeline built and we should also stop selling gas that we have to other countries. we're selling more gas to china and india and other countries where we have it right here. >> so based on what you've seen in 25 years, do you think that this will affect the way in which people vote in november? >> absolutely. it happened to jimmy carter when the price of gas shot up and he wasn't re-elected. and if president obama doesn't get his act together and do something to get things going, i don't think he's going to make it. >> all right. you heard it from jack who has owned gas stations for 25 years. i'll come and visit you sometime. >> thank you. >> good to see you. hackers are working around the clock to break into your bank account, the nation's largest

can't tell what stores were actually in here. there's a sports store sign, i think, on the other side of that. you wouldn't know what was here. this ef-4 tornado, winds of 170 miles an hour. witnesses and officials saying about 200 yards wide. just poured through this area. just mangling the metal. keeps on going. of course, the tornado didn't stop here. just on down through this town of about 9,000. levelling several neighborhoods. on down to the hospital here, medical center where they did get some time. they were able to evacuate those patients in the interior portion of that hospital and on to an important complex and that's where the fatalities are here, where the six people were killed. we're told that also that one of the young ladies inside was a nurse at the hospital we were just talking about. but they say here that it took less than a -- probably about 30 seconds for this tornado to tear through this area. here's what they had to say. >> it was terrifying. i've never been through anything like this. it did sound like the train

coming through the living room. >> and we're hearing that also from branson, missouri, where we have about 30 to 40 people injured there. i think they were saying 37 this morning. of course, that town known for its music, its entertainment, would have been filled with tourists had this been several days from now. fortunately, only injuries there. no fatalities and of course, the big thing here is the warning. they got that warning ahead of time at the hospital. that was key in getting all of those people to the interior of that building there. >> that's what you do. all right, craig boswell live in illinois where it looks like a bomb went off behind you. thanks, craig. >> now the rest of your headlines. another fox news alert. the leader of a fugitive gang known as texas 7 has been executed for the murder of a suburban dallas police officer. 41-year-old george rivas died by lethal injection last night while a group of officers gathered outside the prison and waited for that moment of justice. their brother in blue, officer aubrey hawkins, murdered by

rivas nearly 12 years ago after interrupting his gang's holdup of a sporting goods store on christmas eve. gang then busted out of prison and evaded police for weeks before finally being caught. rivas is the second in that group to be executed. >> meanwhile, bank of america at it again reportedly planning to hit its customers with new monthly transaction fees on checking accounts. uh-oh. "wall street journal" reporting today unless bva customers agree to bank on line, buy more products or maintain certain balances, they'll have to pay monthly charges ranging between $9 and $25. bank of america faced a major backlash last year and was forced to drop its plans for a $5 per month debit/credit card fee. that didn't work out. >> update now on the $750,000 soccer field being built for terror suspects -- all right, we still have to say suspects at gitmo? >> terrorists. >> because it's being paid for with your tax dollars. fox news confirming at least two congressional offices and committees are investigating the

controversial project. sources tell us anything over $749,000 needs congressional approval. really? that's the threshold? and the new field for gitmo inmates costs $744,000, we're told by the army's department of operation, i guess we're going to have to make their own goals. the maintenance signed off on it. who would allow them to play soccer at gitmo? >> why does a soccer field costs $750,000 is the better question? seems pretty steep. doesn't look that good. >> it could be field turf. >> look, we'll have to ask larry the cable guy in a minute. he's a man of many talents, actor, comedian and sometimes political pundit. larry the cable guy getting it done and joining us today. does that look like it was worth 750 grand? >> what can't you let the terrorists have a little fun? how hard are you, huh? it's crazy. i don't get it either. give them a soccer ball and throw it out in the field and put a fence up and let them kick it around out there for a little bit. >> i don't get it. >> let them kill each other.

>> the price should be a soccer ball price and that's it. >> all right. larry, what about what's going on in presidential politics? are you keeping an eye of what's going on? >> you know, i've been too busy this year to keep an eye on it. i already know who i'm going to vote for. >> anybody but what we got, i'll tell you that much. it's ridiculous! you know, he gave the speech the other day, we're getting better. the economy is getting better. where? huh? $5 for gas? i saw a street gang doing a walk by yesterday. that's ridiculous. somebody said to me the other day the average price of gas, milk is still more than an average price of gas. yeah, but i don't drink 21 gallons of milk. you know? it's ridiculous. >> the national average is $3.74. it depends on where you live. if you're spending time in california, you might be paying $5. >> exactly. you know, some dude said they want to make it as -- they're trying to put people in them cars. >> electric cars. >> that run on electric and then

costs would go from $12 million to $30 million a year. that's 150% increase in the cost. we invest our money in building new restaurants, capital projects that create jobs. if we're spending that money towards health care and you know a lot of people believe there are benefits to doing that and i agree but there are also costs. and in this instance, the cost would be those job creating projects that we wouldn't be able to fund. >> and a lot of marginally profitable restaurants no longer -- you can't make a case for them when you sit down at the board meetings. >> 72% of our restaurants are with franchiseees and they're all small business people but some own one or two restaurants. if you have a marginally profitable restaurant and you drive up the cost of labor 150% is what we're talking about here, then you have to look at whether or not that's a restaurant that you want to keep open. >> when you go to $30 million a year, that's the headline. there's something else going on. in terms of manpower, if you work over 30 hours, you now have to give insurance. so how would an employer work around that? >> well, by the way, the $30

million figure is just for our company stores. we only own about 28% of the restaurants. our franchisees have to give their own health coverage. that's a larger amount. with respect to part time, if you're under 30 hours, you're not covered by the law so a lot of retailers are talking about taking 40 hour a week employees and making them 30 hour a week employees. if you have three employees at 40 hours a week. you go to four employees. you lose productivity. that's a big risk. we're looking at this. we don't want to do this. you want full-time employees but it's one of the options that are available to employers. >> even though you're the ceo of a major chain, you feel the small business like everybody else and what you're saying is this is a real kick in the teeth to small business across the country. >> our franchisees are almost all small businesses and whenever i talk to them about building new restaurants or, you know, let's try and expand, let's try and grow in a particular area, there's concern about this. it's not -- you know, we don't

think that president obama is a bad guy or born in kenya or, you know, has ill intentions here but i think the real world business impact of this law is something that i think people need to look at a little more seriously. >> nobody thinks you're doing this. we want your perspective as a business person and get into the real world. you can't get that from statistics released by the treasury department. >> it's hard to come by. people think no matter what you say you're attacking or supporting one side or another. it really is a business issue. it's dollars and cents. the restaurant industry, you know, small businesses in this country are really responsible for the majority of the job creation. and the more you restrict their capital, the more you reduce their ability to grow and create jobs. >> andy puzder, i think america is go and frequent even more than usual your restaurants across the country. would that be all right? >> that would be great. >> good luck to you and your career. a baby girl inherits cancer from

>> now, a heartbreaking story out of phoenix. this 9-month-old little baby, addison cox has stage 4 mole melanoma. it's the same stage that her mom had one month ago. she died from it. they are calling her condition a medical rarity. why? doctors believe that her cancer was passed on from her mom during pregnancy. >> how is that possible?

and how can a parent given an unborn baby give the baby cancer during pregnancy. we're joined by fox news medical a team dr. marc siegel. doctor, the doctors told the mother that there's no way that she could pass along the cancer she did. >> they were wrong about that. it's extremely rare but it actually happens in 1/3 of all cancers that are passed across the placenta to a fetus are melanoma. melanoma is so aggressive, it spreads to every organ in the body and we're having 70,000 new cases a year of it, steve. it's such a rapidly growing cancer and in women of childbearing years especially up 50% over the past three decades so it's still very rare that this would ever happen. and i don't want to stair anybody out there because the fact is there's only been about 10 cases of melanoma that have actually done this and even if a woman had widespread melanoma when she was pregnant, the

chances of her spreading it to a fetus is only 6%. >> this mom had melanoma previously. she thought she was cured or in remission at least. she had that child right there that did not get melanoma and she had the baby girl and the cancer had come back. >> and she didn't know it. she wasn't faced with that ethical question, you know, what to do. she didn't even know it had come back until after the baby was born. >> ok. now she has since passed away, the mom. >> just a month ago. >> what's the prognosis for the baby? >> it's not good. even with experimental treatments which the f.d.a. has approved in her case, you know, 9 months now, the prognosis is about 15 months up to about two years. the phoenix police department has a big fundraiser on march 3rd for this baby and i would encourage everybody out there to consider contributing to this case. >> sure. because the mom was a police officer out there in phoenix. cautionary tale, melanoma, not just spots on the skin. >> no and it's so hard to diagnose it and especially your point, if you've had it, you have to be carefully screened. i screen people not just with

skin checks but i will screen the internal organs. it's so aggressive. you think it's gone. it comes back. we're getting more and more advanced treatments. we're getting immunological treatments where we trick the body into attack the cancer. that's the wave of the future in genetics. there's hope on the horizon but right now, it's still very tough and obviously i'm going to say the usual. people gotta wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun. >> no kidding. what a beautiful baby. >> heartbreaking. that fundraiser, again, march 3rd in phoenix. we'll probably link information on the "fox & friends" web site. dr. siegel, thanks so much. >> great to see you. >> that's right. meanwhile, breaking news this morning out of afghanistan. two more u.s. soldiers killed. all this as president obama says his apology calmed the situation. we'll be right back. are choosing advil. my name is lacey calvert and i'm a yoga instructor. if i have any soreness, i'm not going to be able to do my job. but once i take advil, i'm able to finish out strong. it really works!

despite the president's apology, more american soldiers have been shot dead today. his prediction, not playing out. >> it will calm things down. we're not out of the woods yet. >> the late breaking details about american soldiers killed. straight ahead. >> another fox news alert, the death toll in the u.s. rising again after twisters tore through the midwest. hundreds of homes crushed. going to show you the worst of the damage in a live report. >> and they're back! is that possible? the governorator and maria shriver not terminating their marriage after all? what's up with that?

>> yeah. >> well, yeah. >> there was an opening there. >> yes, there was. >> i'm not sure i could get past those differences. anyway, let's get right to your headlines now. beginning with a fox news alert. reports say those nato troops shot and killed in afghanistan this morning were american soldiers. according to nato, there were two shooters. one of them dressed in an afghan soldier's uniform. today's killings follow the shooting death of four american soldiers last week. they died during an outbreak of nationwide protests in reaction to the burning of qurans. after three days without power in pirate-infested waters, passengers on board that italian cruise ship finally on dry land. brand new video here. this is the costa allegra docked at the seychelles with more than 1,000 people on board. a fire broke out and knocked out power. the ship left madagascar on sunday and was 200 miles south of the seychelles when it all happened. >> not having enough food. not being able to rest well at

night. the heat is unbearable. and so we had to spend most of our nights on the top deck of the ship. >> the costa allegra, the sister ship to the costa concordia, not a good few months for costa. you remember that ship capsized off the coast of italy last month. 32 people died. here we go again, another green energy company touted by president obama laying off workers. here's what the president said about abound energy in 2010. >> the second company is abound solar manufacturing which will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. a colorado plant -- >> well, guess what? this morning, that company abound laying off 180 of its workers. abound solar received $400 million government loan. and they're back? new reports this morning arnold schwarzenegger and maria shriver may be going to couples therapy in an effort to salvage their marriage.

according to this morning's "new york post," shriver trying to avoid divorce at all costs for religious reasons. as for arnold, he's reportedly realized the error of his cheating ways and is doing anything to get maria back. the couple married for 25 years before shriver and the rest of the world learned arnold had fathered a love child with the family maid and those are your headlines. >> that always puts a damper on things. >> right. >> let's talk a little bit about politics and all eyes are on super tuesday. whole bunch of delegates at stake. meanwhile, rick santorum interestingly enough yesterday said even though he lost the popular vote in michigan, he won michigan. huh? here's the senator. >> this is a huge win for us. let's play it the way it is. don't give romney all the spin. we went into his backyard. he spent a fortune, the money he had no intention of spending and we came out of there with the same number of delegates he does. we are in great shape going into

this election and we are excited about what's going to happen on super tuesday. >> and he does have a certain point with regard to the fight that he gave romney in this state. i mean, this was romney's home state and romney outspent him 6-1 in this particular state so here's what the santorum people are saying. they're saying that santorum carried 57 of the state's 83 counties. and what that will mean, according to their math is that rick santorum will get 15 delegates and mitt romney will get 15 delegates so they're going to argue, in fact, it was a tie. >> yeah, i think it's also interesting, this is the romney camp's point. they say at least three percentage points, maybe higher of the votes came from democrats. yeah, and it's an open primary. but in the exit interview, the democrats that were voting for rick santorum weren't conservative or moderate democrats, they were anti-tea party democrats and let me ask you something, what sincere vote would go for rick santorum that's anti-tea party or anti-conservative? it was a vote to be submersesive. is it through -- is it through the rules?

absolutely. is it something that mitt romney is angry about? yes. listen. >> you know, they don't want to face me in the fall. they'd rather face rick santorum and so they came in large numbers and voted for rick, you know, i think that was a huge mistake on his part. republicans saw right through that and saw that if barack obama wants rick santorum to run against, we're not going to give him rick santorum to run against. >> maybe one thing that this election cycle has taught us, amongst many things, is that maybe we should go back and look at how we run primaries. i mean, why are some proportional? why are some winner take all? why are some open to democrats, independents and republicans. why are some closed? isn't this up to the party to determine what works best for the party in the long run? and i think originally, the republicans thought that carrying out a long fight would be a good thing and that's why they made more states proportional. could that be backfiring now? >> listening to the radio, as we cut the obama-hillary clinton battles with both senators trying to be president up until june. it is so personal, so brutal, so

-- they -- >> we've seen this movie before. >> so i think people are overreacting to the battle, and it's something -- i know, the other one, ralph reed came into our studio about six months ago before this whole thing started, six months prior and said the best thing that's going to happen, it's going to last until june. i want to see a good battle to go through june so they can keep the dialogue. the worst thing, i think, can happen is john mccain got done early and he had nothing to say for six months. >> i don't think that mitt romney right now likes the fact that this has gone on to a long battle because -- >> he would have liked to have -- >> come on! i mean, i think it's probably 50/50 on whether or not republicans or democrats think this has been a good idea. >> i'll tell you what, i think the debates have helped sharpen mitt romney, however, i think they have made him a better candidate and better able to face the president of the united states come the fall debates between the two of them. >> the three hour rehearsal we do before our show makes us sharper. >> sure does. >> yeah, what rehearsal? that's called sleeping. in the meantime, president obama

says his apology. remember in that three page letter last week, he put in there, an apology to the president of afghanistan, hamid karzai. for the burning of the qurans at that nato base. well, he has since gone on the record. the president saying that calmed the tensions in afghanistan. but now this morning, we are learning that two more american soldiers have been killed. here's the president on what he believes his apology did. the reason that it was important is the same reason that the commander on the ground, general allen apologized and that is to save lives. and to make sure our troops who are there right now are not placed in further danger. >> it's hard to tell, do you think it has improved it? that apology? >> it calmed things down. we're not out of the woods yet. >> no kidding. not out of the woods yet. two more killed today. >> and we're not in there, all backed out of there. i watched ambassador crocker

yesterday with general allen and he's saying we're going to get through this. general keane says the same thing, don't overreact. it's very discouraging when people like shawn parnell says to hear the commander in chief of the country to apologize for their actions when they go over -- they go to the extreme to make sure civilians aren't hurt, that their culture is coveted and respected and to think the commander in chief is going to apologize for that really bothers many of the people that are fighting. >> and where's the apology from karzai? you know, our people are over there trying to protect them and teach them how to run a country. has he apologized for our people being killed? no, we're still waiting on that. >> waiting on him to get out. that's what we're waiting for. >> meanwhile, 8 minutes after the top of the hour. extreme weather alert for you. several states tried to pick up the pieces from this deadly path of destruction. we have learned overnight that three people were killed by a likely tornado in tennessee. that raise the death toll from this storm to a dozen. tornado in missouri also leaving

three people dead. finally, six people were killed in a tornado in harrisburg, illinois, where craig wall is live. craig, how are people coping with the devastation now that the sun is coming up in illinois? >> yeah, steve, as you can imagine, it is -- they're still reeling down here. this will be the second full day where we'll get a chance. i want to show you some of what we'll see behind me. this is a whole series of apartments just absolutely obliterated through here. people will be trying to come back in if you can walk over here, we'll sort of show you, these are the kinds of things that they'll be trying to come back and salvage. got little kids' toys down here, washer and dryer, everything damaged in here. over here, look at the randomness of this. you have the toilet seat. everything else is lifted off the foundations of the apartment. there's the toilet and i'm going to spin you right over here. this area over here that just where you see just looks like a war zone, all the trees just down, that is the area where the six people were killed i'm told by the sheriff. so people are going to be coming back in here trying to salvage

anything they possibly can. for many of them, if you look around here, you can see that boy, there's not a whole lot to salvage. people just trying to make the best of it. clean up and pick up and try to pull their lives back together again. it's going to be quite sometime as you might imagine, steve. >> craig, looks like they were able to get out with plenty of time. what sort of warning did they wind up with? >> they got about a 13 minute warning when the sirens went off or their radios went off. so some people who heard it and we don't know that everyone did but some people heard it. we were able to get cover in their homes. if you take a look over here, we're talking about slabs so people did not have basements to go to so the best thing you can do in these circumstances is, what, get under your bed or mattress over you, crawl in the tub. whatever you can. there's not a whole lot of places to go and, you know, frame, apartments like this, frame homes, they don't stand up to tornadoes very well. >> yeah. jump in the tub and pray. all right. craig wall from our chicago station. thank you for that report. >> now that mitt romney has won

michigan and arizona, should the other guys bow out or should this race drag on through the convention? i don't think anyone is bowing out just yet. juan williams and andrea tantaros will debate that topic. >> six days from super tuesday. i bet you never expected bill clinton to say this. drill, baby, drill. >> never said that before? >> not that i know of. the former president embracing a big oil project but his wife doesn't agree. ♪ ♪ [ multiple sounds making melodic tune ] ♪ [ male announcer ] at northrop grumman, every innovation, every solution, comes together for a single purpose --

>> in this room are the people who knocked on the doors and made the calls and went to the polls and it made an enormous difference. we didn't win by a lot but we won by enough. that's all that counts. >> so what impact will tuesday's outcome have on the race going forward? is rick santorum done or will the nomination process go all the way through california's primary in june? joining us right now are the co-hosts of the five, juan williams, pictured screen left appropriately and andrea tantaros, she is on the right side in so many ways. >> good morning! >> political right and screen right. juan, what do you think? is santorum done if he does not win ohio? >> wow, that would be a big loss because he's favored there, you know, he's had some important endorsements including one endorsement that had been a romney endorsement switched back to him. and, of course, it's the blue collar working class voter that he has specifically targeted and

right next door to his home state of pennsylvania, so there's a lot of factors that we talked about how michigan was a must win state for romney. i would think ohio is a must win state for santorum. >> ok. andrea? >> the problem is he's not putting a lot of resources into ohio. he's going to -- >> but that's the big kahuna! >> right, i know. that's the big kahuna on next tuesday but he's going to make a play for a lot of the southern states. when you look at the southern states like georgia and tennessee, that's where newt gingrich is planning on competing to and pouring dollars. they're likely to split there. next tuesday, we're unlikely to get any kind of resolution to this battle. i mean, there's 437 votes that are going to be coming out of this. it's still going to slog on after it. but it's going to do it drip by drip. 10 states but still no resolution. romney will probably get a lion's share of those delegates but rick santorum and newt gingrich, i don't see them going anywhere. >> there's going to be some dripping over the weekend with washington state.

we have the very latest polls out and it shows that rick santorum is on top currently 38, romney has got 27. paul, 15 and gingrich 12. of course, that was probably before, juan, the michigan win and the arizona win for him, romney, so he could wind up with some bounce out of that, right? >> you know, i don't see a whole lot of bounce and, you know, obviously, santorum is making the case he came out with the same number of delegates. yesterday, there was a big controversy, steve, about whether or not romney was supportive of a bill that would sort of wipe away the obligation of employers to provide contraception to their employees. and so he's still in this struggle to prove that he is authentically conservative and i think as a result, in states like washington but especially throughout the south. you get to oklahoma and tennessee, i see the anti-romney sentiment insurgent and he's not expected to win. he can say hey, what's the big

deal? i don't see him exactly on a tear here after big win in arizona and, of course, dodging the bullet in michigan. >> andrea, "the wall street journal" has written that the reason romney won in arizona and in michigan ultimately the economy. when you talk about the economy and not social issues, mitt romney wins. they also say the other thing about him is he has taken a pummelling from stem to stern, he's still standing. he's now the frontrunner for the fourth time since november again. if he's anything, he's resilient, the journal writes. >> more like he's rich. he spent a lot of money particularly in michigan where he outspent santorum 40-1. you think about that. they now split the delegates and he spent a lot of money to do that. so, you know, he's got a lot of money. he's got more money than the other two. yes, his message resonates better on the economy. but -- and i will say this, he has won with women. and juan and i talked about this yesterday on fox newschannel. he has won by double digits so a lot of what geeks like juan and

i are going to be doing, well, juan is cool. i'm not. we're going to be looking to see on super tuesday the demographics that these guys pick up and when you look at someone like a mitt romney, you have to give him credit where he's picking up his female vote which arguably is going to be very important in the general. so super tuesday will -- >> i agree. andrea, is it the case that romney is picking up the female vote or santorum is turning them off? >> that could be true. >> that's for another day, ladies and gentlemen. all right. >> santorum needs to call juan. people love juan. >> all right, juan and andrea, thank you very much. great debate today. >> thanks. >> you bet. >> straight ahead, most romantic comedies play out the same way. you know what i'm talking about. >> so amazing when he comes to see her! because he doesn't even notice that she doesn't get up to say hello? >> and you think that he's he's going to walk out the door? >> did you catch the guys rolling their eyes? turns out the men aren't the

feminize men and i think that's a problem. >> you think it's a major problem between the genders and you think this current generation should get out of their parents' basement and stop playing x box. >> guys have a responsibility here, too. >> men don't express that. if that's how they feel, they'll go out with a woman and not say what they want. how dare them! >> very often, men -- this has been documented. it's a lot about what i write about in the book "from the heart" which is a collection of columns on all of these issues from over the years. but what i write about and say men very often don't express their feelings because they think it's weak and a lot of work has been done on that where they show that the fellas don't like to say i need to be respected or i need more physical intimacy or i need you to admire me or be interested in my work because they're not as comfortable expressing needs. we women, we're really good at expressing needs. we'll tell you exactly what we need every minute of the day! >> and stop nagging, right. women should stop nagging. >> yeah, there's lots of other ways to communicate what you want in a relationship. >> exactly. >> one of the ways you said is to say honey, it would be really

helpful if you -- >> 100% different than you are. it would be helpful if you were somebody else. is that it? >> not exactly. >> exactly. >> why can't you be more like him? >> all right, it's a fascinating topic and you've learned a lot and you've taught us a lot today, right, brian? >> i've learned a lot. i can't wait to practice what i just learned. >> all right, betsy hart "from the heart" pick up the book. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> it's available in ebook. >> yes. >> 27 minutes after the hour. >> when disaster struck, he knew exactly what to do. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> needs help! >> did we mention that little guy just 3 years old? >> bet you never expected bill clinton to say drill, baby, drill, the former president embracing a big oil project but his wife will not embrace it. is there a problem?

5-year-old son. >> you know the gas that my mom uses to bring me to school. this is when i was born. this is what it is now. this is real bad. >> armed with a permanent marker, paper and an easel, he points out the difference in economy in the five years since his birth. he talks about unemployment numbers and high gas prices. what a very cute strategy. >> no kidding. what he should do is since he's not nearly old enough to drive, figure out, you know, plot the price of gas or the unemployment rate based on what it's been through over the last couple of years when he's old enough to vote. when he's old enough to drive. and actually drive a car and buy some gas. >> yep. his dad got out of the private sector because he believes that he's concerned about the future of young kids like his son. >> one of the big debates in this country and i think over 60% of the country is for it and it's the keystone pipeline, pipeline from canada, we'll get oil to go down to the gulf coast

and it's going to create thousands of jobs. tens of thousands of jobs and a lot of them would make union members happy because we're going to hire a lot of union people but the state department who has oversight on this has looked at it and said i need more time to study it. who runs the state department? hillary clinton. >> yeah, but who may be telling the state department what they should think and feel about that? potentially the administration. so as you know, the president has come out against the keystone pipeline, does it have anything to do with an election year? you be the judge on that. the fact of the matter is now there could be some divisive kind of behavior going on in the clinton household because president clinton feels differently than his wife. listen to this. >> one of the most amazing things to me about this keystone pipeline deal is that they ever file that route in the first place, they could have gone around the nebraska sand hills and avoided most of the danger no matter how imagined to the oogalala to a different route which i presume we'll get now

because the extra cost of running it is infinitesimal compared to the revenues that will be generated over a long period of time. so i think we should embrace it and develop a stake holder driven system of high standards for doing the work. >> so there you got bill clinton, quintessential politician saying come on, build it. he's giving the democrats talking points for when they cave. however, his wife says not so fast, honey, we got rules. here's the secretary of state. >> even the former president, bill clinton, says embrace it. >> very smart man. but unfortunately, it's not bound by the laws and regulations any longer of the united states to make decisions that follow a certain procedure and that's what we have to do. >> is it a mistake for the former president to say embrace it?

>> of course not. i think it's not a mistake for people -- this is america. people say they embrace it. people say they hate it. our job is to, you know, take a very clear eyed look at what the facts are. >> the only problem is they've been looking at it now for three years so a lot of people said they've had enough time to make a decision and that politics may be at play here. >> politics at home. i wonder if she wound up calling her husband after that particular hearing to say hey, thanks a lot. >> i don't think you need to call anymore. you can just watch our channel and they can work it out. >> and the president went on record and said look, now that i'm not a politician anymore, i can say what i think. wouldn't that be nice if politicians in general said what they think instead of always trying to get the vote or trying to pander? >> you can always do that when you're out of office. >> right. i wish it would be sunny every day and 75. >> move to hawaii. >> you know what? i'm not going to ever apologize for being optimistic. there's hope out there that

maybe politicians will actually serve the people and not special interests. >> now to a weather alert right now, extreme weather alert. series of twisters and severe storms creating a deadly path of destruction. right now, we know the death toll is up to 12. that's after a likely tornado left three people dead in cumberland county, tennessee last night. six people are dead in harrisburg, illinois, after a twister touched down there. craig boswell now is there live. craig, what does it look like on the ground as the sun is now up? >> right. sun coming up here and good morning to you, brian. that's also -- the crews are now going to go back to these neighborhoods in about an hour now, hour from now, since they have some sunlight and double check, they want to go through and make sure they didn't miss anyone. they want to make sure that no one drifted in there at nighttime when they're not supposed to. they want to make sure there's no live power lines. that takes place in about an hour. they'll go through a second sweep. while we're talking about this, let's pan off and show you a little bit of where we are in front of this strip mall that you wouldn't even know was

>> isn't this all part of the class warfare, though, because there are so many more people who are not bankers or people in private equity and stuff like that. when you're looking at people in a mansion or somebody who has got a big job who have created jobs, you know, it's easy to hate the guy who has got the rolls royce. >> yes, but plus one more thing. it's not intuitive to understand how firing people can help anybody. and the idea that most of those people and it's awful when the people get fired. and you feel for them. and the press makes it worse because you cover what's seen and we can see it on the last day when they get fired. but we don't see when their skills get put to better use. you don't -- nobody covers the first week of facebook or google because nobody knew it was going to be a news story. >> john, compare bain capital to something like fannie and freddie, a government-run situation as opposed to a private situation? >> bain takes private investors' money. if they invest it badly, romney would have lost his money. that's the way it ought to be. if they make good decisions,

they get rich but making good decisions meant they directed money to its best use and that created jobs. they helped create domino's pizza and staples. lots of jobs. >> you're going to cover more than just bain capital during your report tonight. it's 10:00 p.m. eastern, right? >> right. evil bankers. >> john stossel, easy to find. evil bankers, question mark. all right. >> 9:00 p.m. eastern. they've moved me. >> thanks for correcting me. >> we'll be watching. we'll be watching all night for you. >> good. >> tivo at 9:00 and watch at 10:00. ok, just as a tribute to your old time slot. >> all day and all night. >> we have to watch our channel first. >> can't you watch two at once? >> no. >> president out this week patting himself on the back for the auto bailout. what don't you hear about is the people who suffered because of
