tonight. please remember, the spin stops right here. we definitely looking out for you. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone, saturday, march 3rd, and a fox news alert. this is like, there, at a mangled school bus through the front of a diner in henryville, indiana, plus an entire town has been wiped off the map by devastating twisters. we will go live to the hardest hit areas. >>dave: and gas prices climb for the 25th straight day. there is no end in sight. can anything be done to ease your pain at the pump? >> it could cost you billions to bail out the auto industry but chevrolet is pulling the plug on the volt with poor sales.

"fox & friends" begins right now. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone, and right to the breaking news, it has been devastated throughout the midwest. we are waking up to the weather alert because deadly twisters have torn up the country. >> tons of hopes ripped to pieces days after around round of tornadoes and some of the west damage in southern indiana, tornadoes leave 14 people dead there. >> we have total destruction in northeast clark county. and we have total destruction in parts of southern scott county. we have total destruction in parts of washington county. we have multiple fatalities that

we are aware in the three counties. >>clayton: a dozen people killed in kentucky by severe storms and twisters devastated tennessee, alabama, and. >>dave: and now fox news chief meteorologist, one of the hardest hit areas in henryville, end end. what are you seeing this morning? rick: it is always an eerie site when you pull up to a town hit by a tornado not dark. and i say not dark, it is lit because the light is coming from the media that is around and the few generators. but, obviously, power is completely gone and you start to see the trees are ripped apart and all the street signs down and the buildings destroyed and you look at the school bus, which started across the street probably 100 yards away and

ended up here and at first you think that is dramatic, but, you look closer, and you see the choose see the -- the engine has been thrown in to the diner. there were two businesses right here, and this dinner, as well as a america's garage which has been flattened and a number of cars are smashed and destroyed. we can say that school is across the street and there is another school bus that isried apart and the school is in shreds and if you go for a few hundred yards, everything around it has been destroyed. there were two tornadoes that went in rapid success yesterday, one caused damage and people reported that tore understand was brown and filled with debris and hype it, it was black,

picking up dirt from the ground, that was painting it that color so that is what you are seeing. this was 3:30 in the afternoon, and when you get a tornado outbreak or a few tornadoes it is easy for emergency officials to get in and start to do the assessment, cutting the power and curting through the trees and downed power lanes to make sure it is safe and for the first spenders and with a day like yesterday there were 96 reports of tornadoes across such a wide region it take as long time to get in there and this happened at 3:30 and they have day lit after the storm went through and a number of areas across kentucky and tennessee and in to west virginia and the carolinas at neat so they will be in there as the sun comes up today, beginning the search process, so there is a lot of searching and rescue and recovery over a ten state area.

and the last thing to give you an idea how big the stem system was, yesterday, there remain over 260 tornado warning and if you lock at all those counties they with fill the state of nebraska that is how many people were under gun from the stem system and here in henryville this is just the effect from one of the tornadoes. >>dave: you hear the public 28 people are killed, and that is beginning to go up when we learn more. was there anything that was not handled more? there were adequate warnings. this is a situation where there is nothing to do, not enough basements and nowhere to go. rick: great point. sometimes you do not have witnessing. yesterday, there was such a high alert and high focus we knew it would be a bad day and because of what we experienced last year with the april 27 outbreaks and joplin, those tornadoes happening in similar areas and,

keep in mind, the areas had tornadoes two days before so people were aware of this and took precautions and we would have seen the death toll numbers higher if that were not the case, but keep in mind there were 13 tornadoes two days before so we are at 41 fatalities this week, in an average year we see about 50 fatalities from tornadoes in the woke year and we have had 41 this welcome. >>alisyn: so scary. thank you, risk, we will check through the show. and here are the rest of the head lines, this morning at 10:00 eastern a funeral service begins for the chardon high school junior, hundreds waited for hours to payment -- pay their respects, one of they students killed when an alleged shooter opened fire on monday at the school.

plane is facing charges on he juvenile counts. >> more death and destruction in syria as a car bomb explodes in a southern city killing many people and damaging build ensure. as syrian troops continue shelling self directs in homs. the red cross convoy is blocked from bringing aid to the stranded people inside of the city to clear mines and booby traps but there are also unconfirmed reports that revenge killings are taking place by syrian forces and the delay is a coverup. >> gas prices are not going down. the national average for a gallon of regular now $3.75. it is the 25th straight day we have seen an increase at pump and this is the highest gas price they have ever had and we

can expect an average of $4.25 a gallon in late april. >> unbelievable video from arizona, a helicopter loses control 200' not air and slammed in to the ground but the people on board survived. how is it possible they survived? witnesses say after the crash the men shut off the engine and climbed out of the wreck with a now bumps and bruces and they were part of a film crew shooting a stunt for a tv she and it is believed that mechanical failure caused the accident. >>clayton: the chevrolet volt, remember the super bowl commercial, news this morning, page one of the "wall street journal" that general motors is to halt production of the shot

-- volt. >>dave: humans wanted to sell 10,000 volt in the year and they came up well short. what you have is 1,300 workers out of work at the g.m. plant and the production of the volt -- they put hundreds of millions in to developing this and $49.5 billion went to g.m. for the production and promotion of this. >>alisyn: and this week president obama actually invoked the volt, once again, as a shining example of the future. he was speaking at a u.a.w. speech. >> i feel that g.m.'s plans in

ohio where workers got their jobs back to build the chevrolet and g.m. had plans in detroit and i got to get inside a new chevrolet volt but i liked sitting in it. it was nice. i bet it drives real good. and five years from now when i'm not president anymore, i'll buy one and drive it mile. >>clayton: kind of sad. you look at the ingenuity, try serious, gang busters, and ford with their all electric fusion has a waiting list, why is this car specifically not doing so well? the high prices and g.m. says they have to lower the price on the leasing options from $399 to

$350 to move the numbers. >>alisyn: it is not just the high prices but there was, according to the vice president for u.s. sales and operations for the volt, he said, sales in january were impacted by the safety investigation and the exaggerated negative coverage. the fears. >>dave: the fires do not do a lot for vehicle sales. >>alisyn: he is saying that the press overplayed because after the tire investigation the national highway transportation safety board or whatever it was finally decided this was no fire risk but when you police department that seed --. >>dave: there was a foyer risk but no greater than other gas cars. >>alisyn: so that is not a reason to impede people. but once you plant the seed ...

>>dave: all the taxpayer money in the world ... >>clayton: who is to blame for the low sales of the volt. a congressman fired up over gitmo prisoners get $750,000 soccer field. >> what follows, the terrorist soccer league? they should be doing hard time not soccer time. >> and a man takes it upon himself to quiet down a public bus by jamming cell phones. is he is hero? or a criminal? we report. you decide. >>dave: my hero. devastation across the south and midwest after twisters hit killing two dozen and we head to indiana one of the hardest states hit coming up. ♪

>>dave: it was never meant to be a five star experience but some terrorist detainees get the additional perk of $750,000 athletic complex which includes a soccer field. and you are footing the bill. some lawmakers are making a push to strip the funding. texas congressman is one of them and generals us like from houston usually this morning. good to see you, congressman. let's start with how this got through. the defense department has a lot of cuts in store so how did anyone approve $750,000 for a soccer field at gitmo?

>>guest: well, the folks at gitmo were able to get it through. congress has to approve any spending over $750,000. interestingly enough, the defense department spent a little less hand that so congress did not need to approve it. that is how it slipped through. >>dave: that appears to be sneaky. you have legislation you are backing to stop this. >>guest: there was legislation to do away with the soccer field, a waste of taxpayer money. these folks were arrested on the battlefield and charged with committing crimes or attempting to commit crimes against america. if they want a soccer field let them build their own down there. we don't need to have a paradise playground for the terrorists. what are we going to do next, have a tike hut and a bar? they will b

should in the give them a soccer field. let's do away with the whole program. >>dave: we did have a mock up of your tike hut there, here is the problem, you have the majority of inmates, detainees have not been charged with anything and they are serving indefinite detention, so what should we do with them. some, you say, keep their minds active and involved and you will rehabilitate some of the folks. >>guest: well, i used to be a judge for 22 years he in texas and the idea we will make nice people out of them is nonsense. sure we need to keep them busy let they build their own soccer field. this is a prisoner of war camp because they were arrested on the battlefield and i agree, do something with them. put them before a military court and try them and see if they are committing crimes against

america. that is different but do not set up a nice little place for them to stay while we are waiting to decide on what to do with them. >>dave: particularly an administration that wanted to shut down gitmo bay and now we make their stay comfortable. congressman, we appreciate you being with us this morning. coming up, more outrage surrounding president obama's berth z birth control action expressing why catholics are so upset. and another green energy gamble is a losing bet. ok, guys-- what's next ?

manufacturing which will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants concreting 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs. the colorado plant is underway and an indiana plant will be built in an empty chrysler factory. when operational the plants will produce presidents of state-of-the-art solar panels each year. these are two of the many clean energy investments in the recovery act. we are seeing the pay offs. i have seen --. >>clayton: the permanent jobs are not so permanent so is he jeopardizing our energy security with these jobs? a small businessmen tore is joining us. the president says they are going to have some bad apples in any bunch, and cannot paint them all with a broad brush. what do you say, another example of a loser? >>guest: i would like to see

examples of the winners because, especially being a green pioneer i am for green but there are fabulous companies that are better return. both of these averages he is giving were passed over not once, but numerous times in the private sector because the math never worked. so, why are we trying to force. >>clayton: why didn't work? why did the government prop up the companies? >>guest: i don't understand why. because if you do the math it was obvious what it costs to make the product embedded the fair market value. so we knew we could not sell it. that is bake math. >>clayton: they say this is crony emand they were fundraisers in part, on the obama administration and that is why they are getting money. is that true? >>guest: i don't what the answer is but as someone who is a turn around specialist and this is what i do for a living

and see highway many companies that have passed over these deals, for a reason. we want to support alternative. but it gives a bad rap for grown all the way around when you pick the losers rather than highlighting something we can be happy about that does a great return on investment. >>clayton: critics say we should not be in the business of picking winners ands therers but the left says, but we have always picked winners and losers, propping up the farm industry, ethanol industry, oil and gas companies. who is right. >>guest: i don't believe in supporting something other than on merit. a company that is supposed to when and exceed will on the basics of business. let themself destruct and go in to a reconstruction. that is my move any. try to save something on a death

spiral. let it level out. housing market, completely flatten. let it crack. and let the entrepreneurs go in and rebuild. >>clayton: the obama administration did not look at sound economics when they picked these companies? >>guest: i do not have faith in their ability in the business arena. they pick very bad companies to invest. with our money. >>clayton: thank you for joining us. >>clayton: the latest of the deadly tornadoes. these are pictures right here, henryville, indiana. and scary moments in court after a man starts to have a seizure and a former main -- marine jumped in to save him. is one's s lawnsmiths.

at this school. you not in the school yesterday when this happened but your husband is the presence president. do you, you have a lot of your life is wrapped up and what are you seeing? >>guest: just amazed that we have people walk out of the building. the kids were released early helping to get them home safely and talking to my husband last night there were 39 in the school staff and kids but they all made it out safely and i don't know highway but they did. rick: when you see the damage and the power with the cars flipped over, amazing there were no fatalities. >>guest: cars that were in the parking lot are now sitting in the building. en real. rick: it is cold. sometimes in april and may after the storm it is warmer, so, it is cold, clearly power is out

and people do not have generators. how do you get through a night. >>guest: you have to stay strong. there are lots of prayers beginning out. it is a strong community. we will be good. rick: what do you do today? >>guest: evaluate what we have and don't have and they are meeting today in the central office to decide where to go from here. rick: we have heard, the media has talked about a town marysville, a very small town. >>guest: small location this. i am sure they are probably feeling the same affects. rick: you have a lot of fell with you right now. >>guest: i was up in the northeast corner of the state and started making calls trying to figure out and i heard that the school was obliterated up there and got a call from my

son, a senior, at 3:00, and he said that there was a tornado coming his way in 12 minutes. rick: i cannot imagine the panic when your husband is the principal, your child is a senior and your stududents, clearly and you not there what goes through your mind? >>guest: my heart dropped, i felt like i should have been there and knew i could not be but we packed up and everyone came. i had family and friends come with me from up north. rick: that has to enamazing to come through it, a lot of damage. >>guest: we are so blessed. we don't have a school but we have all our kids. rick: thank you for talking with us. a cold morning here and people in the process of figuring out what to do next for the long day ahead of them. >>alisyn: all the kids got out

>>dave: and now experts, disturbing news from the football world. the nfl announced in new orleans saints take as bounty pool to encourage hurting a player so bad they had to leave the game run by defensive coordinator greg williams who is on the right, and the coach on the left, and he knew of it but did nothing to step it and 22 players were part of this which involved up to $50,000, and knock downs were worth $1,500, and cart offs, good for $1,000 payment, and increase for the playoffs, one of the targeted players, curt warner, now retired. >> there were games i could tell you it seemed like they went beyond what was normal in regard to when they would hit me or how they would hit me and again not with the intention of hurting me but incoming me out of the game.

>>dave: the "washington post" reporting that the redskins had a similar bounty system when williamss with their coordinator. is that their job? >>dave: knock out -- knock down. not knock out. when player's just any is under just any, they will hit them hard, no pun intended. the patriots fined $750,000 and this could go well over $1 million including draft picks. >> and it happened this 2009 when they were america's team. more ahead.

the other office devices? they don't get me. they're all like, "hey, brother, doesn't it bother you that no one notices you?" and i'm like, "doesn't it bother you you're not reliable?" and they say, "shut up!" and i'm like, "you shut up." in business, it's all about reliability.

if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred.

before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been tated for heart faure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

don't our dogs deserve to eat fresher less processed foods just like we do introducing freshpet healthy recipes of fresh meat and fresh veggies so fresh the only preservative we use is the fridge freshpet fresh food for fido >>alisyn: with the talk of high gas prices the controversial practice of tracking is in the news which involves extracting natural gas from rock, and a documentary showed residents in the area of fracking lighting their tap water on fire.

my guest says this is misleading, and my reporter set out to uncover the truth. >> so, that video of residents being able to light their drinking water on fire is disturbing but you went there to do some research and you learned that, actually, they have been able to light their drinking water on fire well before fracking came to town. >>guest: well, a lot of gaps in there and across america people have been lighting their top water for hundreds of years. the indians called lots of places burning springs. >>alisyn: so, you found that out, and you thought that was sort of relevant to expose this had been going on for decades, not necessarily as a result of fracking so you talked to the

gas land director. let's show a clip from your exchange with him. >>guest: the water, you said yourself people lit their water long before fracking. >>alisyn: he said, that is true but it is not relevant. >> what did you try to do with the exchange. >>guest: i am a journalist and i thought it was a scoop getting the director to to admit he knew that people could light up the tap water and he got new york lawyers to force youtube to take it down. >>alisyn: so you decided to create your own documentary to talk about what have unearth the called "frack nation," and there

are people that report that family pets and horses died suddenly after fracking and the veterans expected heavy metals what could you find out about the pollution that it could bring to town? >>guest: there is no proven case of pollution of ground water. animals die and people get sin and there is no provable case, there is no scientific evidence to back it up, it is all stories. that is what this was, with my documentary we will show the emotion and show the science and show the stories of real people whose family farms are being sold because of the money the natural bomb -- cases like in pennsylvania and we are making this and asked people to help us make the policemen, and it has been overwhelmed by the

response. we asked to raise $150,000 in two months and we raised $150 the in three weeks from ordinary people who want the real story of fracking. >>alisyn: people are interested in at testify energy options. if it turns out to be safe for people in the community what can it do? >>guest: anywhere there is fracking there is no recession, it is a wonderful boom to people in some of the poorest markets of america and natural gatt prices have dechinned by 80 percent over the last four years since it went mainstream. so, it is going to change the energy equation in america and we will have cheap energy for decades to come and we will, people will be able to keep the family farm. it is a win-win-win situation

unless the radical environmentalists and the hollywood set who are opposed to it. it is quite, it is 1 percent of america who are for it and we are making the documentary for the 99 percent. >>alisyn: thank you, sir, for coming in with your perspective on this. only three days until super tuesday and the candidates are putting their focus on ohio as romney picks up steam in the state account national polls so to he wins is the game over? we will explore that question. government jobs harder than working in

many people i talked to said they thought they had a tougher job. so for the bureaucrats to say they have a more difficult job that is just not true. >>clayton: and he said it would solve the deficit problem. we need to cut the jobs that are overly generous, excessively they say we need more bureaucrats and they are causing a pay freeze but that is not

true. the pay freeze does not include a raise for promotion, former it, and for longevity so, base through, there is no pay freeze, it is misleading. >>clayton: wouldn't that include promotion and merit? >> unfunded liability and pensions the biggest problem for state and local governments across the country. thank you michelle fields. have a good weekend. coming up you helped bail them out and now chevrolet is pulling the plug on the volt we will explain what is frozing the -- freezing production for a few months. >>dave: and like to the hardest hit states.

>>clayton: and now to like coverage from another hard hit area in harvest, alabama, but, first our chief meteorologist, rick? rick: exactly what you just said --. (inaudible) >>clayton: we are having satellite issues as you can imagine. and now over to harvest, alabama. how does it look, elizabeth? >>reporter: they say light anyone doesn't strike twice but with tornadoes we are living rough it does, if harvest, alabama, the homes were brand new, they were rebuild from the tornadoes back in april of 2011 people saying they were just

sending in their last checks to contractors to rebuild the homes and get new cars after they literally were wiped off the map 11 months ago and we got a taste of it yesterday when we arrived people were starting to put tarps on their home and trying to get their lives back together after the first round of storms hit at 9:30 yesterday morning. and, then, the sirens went off and we were brought to a storm shelter and we have video of people would were in the middle of cleaning up, they had to stop what they were doing because there was another round of tornadoes and a woman that was in the storm shelter with us, her home was destroyed and she had a tarp on the roof. listen to what she had to say. you can see the storm over her shoulder. >> sometimes you look at the want ensure and say it will not hit but this one time, i now when i came out of the house it

would hit. you had that feeling. i didn't look back. >> inwas intimidating to see the stock market pass right over our head, and the most interesting factors was the color we saw in the tornado the rain wrapped tore nays and you saw very bright blues, blue-collars, and, also, we got in to the stock market shelter it was 21 tellings warmer than when we stepped out. it showed not only how quickly the storms passed through but, alsos how quickly they contained every sense of the word they destroy everything in their path and they containing lives immediately. guys? >>alisyn: thank you, elizabeth, for showing us that. i have never seen a tornado up close other than on video but to hear the different colors that rick talked about. some brown. and black. and now back to rick?

rick: yes, i was commenting that elizabeth is down in alabama and we are in indiana and the storm is so far reaching to see what we saw conferred you get a lost tornadoes in a small area but to get as big and as many tornadoes as we did across such a wide area in early march is remarkable, and it does not happen often and it was the second tornado outbreak in one week, and we moved our shots to give you another view of what we are seeing and this was a mechanic's garage that is no more and you could not tell that other than there are a number of cars around and they are not where they started out. the windows are busted out and cars back behind it and i don't think we can show you this it is too far away but there are cars piled on top of each other. wherever you look, everything is destroyed. and, one thing that will happen, today, the national weather service officers will go out and

assess the damage, and they have to get an idea how big the tornadoes were and how strong and they get an ef rating. i can tell you from seeing the damage and how big this is if i lock off if one direction i can see trees ripped apart, probably at least 100 yards that way and i can look opposite direction at least 100 yards and see the same story so we are talking about a tornado at least 200 yards wide, probably a bit more and i am sure we are talking about an ef3 or ef4. we were watching the storms yesterday during "studio b" and they were storms that lined up in a row and a tornado went over who and 10 or 15 minutes later another tornado moving so quickly it was difficult to get a lot of advance warning on some storms because they moved 70 to 75 miles per hour if their forward speed depending how fast the storms were moving, and it

was hard to get a lot of warning for a hot of people when they were lined up being hit successfully it was difficult. people tried to get out and affect the damage and see if everyone was okay and another storm would hit right away and that was a challenge they had but they will continue to fine more and more stories throughout the morning. the light is up, and it is scary picture if every direction you see. >>alisyn: my mom and stepfather live in kentucky and my mother was talking about the storms that rick mentioned, moving there at 65 miles per hour and she was getting her hair done, and the hairdresser had to take cover in the basement because the news bull lanes said get to a safe place the scary. and now outpouring of love and support in chardon, ohio, as hundreds paid respects to one

family, their 16-year-old son will be laid to rest this morning. he and the two other boys lost their lives following a 17-year-old's shooting campaign inside a high school cafeteria. the suspect facing charges on three juvenile counsels of aggravated murder. a deadly blast in syria as a car bomb explodes causing fatality and damaging buildings as the syrian troops continue shelling several districts in homs. and convoy is being blocked from bringing much needed aid to those stranded inside, and unconfirmed reports that revenge killings took place by syrian forces and the delay is a coverup. >> talk about a bad record, new reports that the captain of the costa concordia crashed another luxury cruiseliner once before, and this happened back in 2010

when the captain was sailing too fast in a german port and, today, his lawyers will be in court for a pre-trial hearing in the costa concordia. he is accused of manslaughter and abandoning ship. at least 25 people were killed and he may not attend the hearing because his attorneys fear for his safety. >> it is not getting better, gas prices. again this morning for 25 the day if a row the national average is $3.75 the highest ever for this time of year. experts say we can expect an all-time record high of about $4.25 a gallon some time in late april. >> and now time for an electric car. >> that would be the chevrolet vote. they have pulled the plug in the

short-term production of the chevrolet volt, the vehicle. it is leaving 1,300 workers out of work and production is halted because of slow sales. >>clayton: you can see they did not read the 10,000 mark, committee reached 9,623. and the total cost overall from the taxpayer is $49.5 billion. >>alisyn: by the way because they are suspending the production for five weeks the 1,300 works in hamtramck plant are being laid off and they just announced this. on friday night. but, someone didn't alert the white house that this was happening because president obama had just this week held up the volt as a great example of

stimulus dollars at work and the economy turning around. listen to the president's speech. >> i see the plant in ohio where workers got their jobs back to build a chevrolet and g.m.'s hamtramck plant in detroit, i get to get snowed a brand new chevrolet volt fresh off the line but the secret service would not let me drive it. but i like sittin' in it. it was nice. i bet it drives real good. and five years from now when i'm not president i'll buy one and drive it myself. >>dave: he said five years and the crowd applauded but there will be plenty available if he wants one because sales have been the biggest problem and because of the chevrolet volt

that has sure the sales the reports of fires in the health volt and the vice president of u.s. sales at chevrolet says this, sales in john were clearly impacted by the safety investigation and the exaggerated negative coverage that turned out to be exaggerated in the case of fires. >>clayton: but last year sales were 7,000, below the 10,000 they estimated for the year. >> which was conservative to begin with. >>clayton: and the price tag has been the criticism, it is really expensive and the lease price was so expensive and now g.m. is answering the pricing criticism dropping it from $399 a month for the lease to $359 and now there is a waiting list for the ford fusion, and the fee son -- the nissan leaf sold out. >>alisyn: well the safety administration says there is in

fire risk maybe they can get sales back up, but, one plant ... >>dave: let us know how you feel. three days until super tuesday, and this is romney picking up steam in the state and national polls. if he wins is it, game over [ male announcer ] juice drink too watery? ♪ feel the power my young friend. mmm!

parts of the state so it is a de-- diverse group. you see all the competitors here campaigning the next few days. >>clayton: because how important tennessee is. you helped fred thompson become senator thompson and you know how to win elections. what do the candidates need to do to win? >>guest: good question. because of the diverse population we elect what i call statesman leaders, you mention fred thompson and lamar alexander and back to andrew jackson and davey crockett, that is who people look to in tennessee. they are looking for someone that appeals to the traditional values and, also, understands republican principles this we cannot tax-and-spend our way to

prosperity, we cannot apologize for america and tackle the big ideas without growing the government bureaucracy. so, these are the things that tennessee voters are looking at. >>clayton: and tennessee has an open primary so democrats and independents can vote in tennessee. will we see a similar approach from the santorum campaign to get democrats to come out to vote for him in an effort to throw off romney. will that play in tennessee? >>guest: we have never had an issue like that where there is an orchestrated effort to get democrats to vote and cause hankie pankie so i don't expect that to help. and independents, when you poll here, about 33 percent to 38 percent of the folks describe

themselves at independents and we want those people to move over to the republican party. that is why we like open primaries. >>clayton: nasa -- fascinating time. a congressman fired up over gitmo prisoners getting a $750,000 soccer league. >> they should be doing hard time not soccer time. >>clayton: more from congressman ted poe coming up. the third kid in your family is a real bargain. ♪ [ male announcer ] for our town.

>>dave: here is great news, a house full of kids could be the most difficult jobs but my guest says it makes more financial sense to have more children. >> the author of "all the money in the world," laura, great to see you. the numbers are staggering it costs $627,000 to raise a child from berth to 18 how is it cost effective to have more. >>guest: you look at the numbers they say this single kid families spend 25 more more on one kid, but three kid families spend 22 percent less per kid on their children.

so if you look at the numbers it is almost a free by. >>dave: so happy because i just had my third, two weeks ago, so explain to me how the cost decreases as you continue to have children. >>guest: most of that, a big chunk of the $226,000 number, is housing, and so if you have bought the family house it does not confident you anything more to stick another kid in this. >>dave: provided you do not need an extra bedroom. >>guest: kids often don't you can stick them in the same room. >>alisyn: i stack my vertically. does this suggest a third child is getting short shrift with the hand-me-downs they are using everything that has been used. >>guest: they are, but the good news is they have more kids to play with, so you may never get a new bicycle but your older brother will teach you how to use it.

>>clayton: welcome back to "fox & friends" and now a weather alert.

there is wide-spread devastation across america's heartland. we have learned there are now 31 people killed. by tornadoes. twisters leading 14 dead in indiana and kentucky. this comes days after the 13 people were killed by tornadoes in the midwest and the south. >>alisyn: and now to henryville, indiana, it looks like they are trying to figure how bad the damage is. rick: yes, not just here but communities across nine or ten states. clayton talked of the death toll numbers bringing it to 44 for this week. in an average year in the united states there are 60 fatalities the entire year and we have had 44 and we are nowhere near the height of tornado season we are in february and march we should not have many tornadoes yet. not these tornadoes. that is sobering. this is what you wake up to.

we moved to a side street and you can see this is a residential area and homes and as far as i can see the homes are destroyed and there is a hill that is probably close to 200 yards away and i can see the trees snapped there. one of the things we are starting to see are images coming in an image of a church here and before picture and the after picture and get an idea of what happened to some of the structures. it is difficult to come to a place base you do not know what it looks like before. you can see here another church that has the roof blown off, the tree that is mangled and you go across the street and this is part of the school that was destroyed of the 39 people certified that school when the tornado hit and you lock at perts like this, of the tornado, of the damage, it is hard to

imagine the kids and the faculty survived. but everyone of them survived which is certainly a miracle for the people in the town and you thing with 31 fatalities and you look at damage you see here from what we are hearing at this point the fatalities from this town, that is remarkable. so, guys, scary images wherever you turn here, reminiscent of what we saw april 27th, and that storm, that outbreak, there were 300 people that were killed and this is at 31, fatality rate is not as high but i have to thing that because of all of the activity we had last year with the storms in april and the joplin tornado, people are taking this seriously when they have the warning people are doing things they node to do and certainly that is one bright spot. but right now it is just trying to make sense of what happened. >>dave: you talked of the tuscaloosa tornado and we are

not near the height of tornado season. is it mid-to late april? wreck risk it is actually may. so, we have april, we have may, and down, the three busiest months and we had these outbreaks at the end of february and march. it is not unheard of, four years ago on super tuesday, in the state of tennessee 50 were killed so it happens in early march and february you can get the storms but it is not common and it is scary when you think of everything. there are meet logical cases we will have an active tornado season again this spring and if this is any sign of that, it could bear out. >>clayton: thank you, you saw pictures rick shows from twitter of the church there in henryville, the before and after, unbelievable photos and hail picture, look at this, size of the hail that was falling in henryville, two hands, softball.

the size of a softball. unbelievable. so not just the wind picking things up and structures but, that also to contend with. >> temperatures in the 30's with so with no power these people are in the freezing cold and it is supposed to get up to 50 in henryville but back in to the 30's with no power. >>alisyn: major obama fundraiser who defended a convicted taliban terrorist is set to become the third highest ranking official at the department of justice, named assistant attorney general for the civil right service division and in 2009 west raised tens of millions at finance co-chair for president obama's first presidential campaign and hold are announced this promotion this week. >> detainees at get me get a new

$750,000 soccer field and you are footing the pill. now, some lawmakers make a push to strip the funding. one, a texas congressman poe joined us on "fox & friends" earlier. >> if they want a soccer field build your own. we did not need to have a paradise playground for the terrorists. we should not be setting up a nice little place for them to stay while we are waiting to decide on what to do with them. >>alisyn: the no field act as it is called would penalize the department of defense and company 2013 budget by $744,000 the same price tag for the soccer field. >> a case of a parent behaving badly and sabotaging the other team. the score was tied between massachusetts teams and a player's dad was thrown out and

caught shine willing the laser in the eyes of the other team's goalie, parents appeal the loss, asking for a replay but the state association denied it saying the situation is unfair to both teams. that is ridiculous! >>dave: horrifying, come on, parents. incredible video of a helicopter plunging from the sky and straight in to the ground and when you see this you will not believe it, everyone made it out alive. this happened in arizona, witnesses say after the crash, the men shut off the engine and just climbed out of the wreckage. they were part of a film crew shooting a stunt for korean version of a tv show "top gear." >>dave: folks we have heard so many horror stories about t.s.a.

and what they have done to people it is hard to hear one that actually makes you step back and say, my god, that is terrible because we have heard so many. now, they have done it. this may take the cake. this will have your jaw dropping because a mom flying from hawaii, says a hawaiian t.s.a. agent humiliated her because of her breast pump. here is what she said, a quote from the mother, amy reacting to this, i'm in a dress and legals and in front of a sneak and mirrors with travelers coming from the bathroom, and an empty breast up and a cooler pack are a threat to national security and 20 minutes later with milk no longer pose a threat. >>alisyn: she was trying to go through security with the breast pump and empty milk bottles and ice pack and she realized she had milk she pumped in the milk bottle and she thought they will

not let me go through with liquid i will have to bump it out. >>dave: which is geld to moms. >>alisyn: you hate to dutch it out. but she did it because she recognized the rules so she goes through and you are not able to go through with a breast pump and ice pack with no milk, how do we know it is really a breast pump. so she had to go in to the public bathroom, plug in the breast pump and in front of everyone because there is no privacy, people coming in and out with the luggage pumping. >>dave: because you cannot plug in, in the stall, and finally she get through secure, virtually in tears and she was horrified and the t.s.a. has apologized yet again "the passenger has contacted us with her concerns and we accept responsibility for the apparent misunderstanding and incon season conference or embarrass

amount this incident caused her and the officer in question is receiving remedial training." how about the training before an incident? >>clayton: it is hard enough to deal with breast feeding in the first place, with all the enormous pressure from moms to do that and worry now you dutch the stuff out, go back, stand in front of a mirror and person in front of other passengers? >>alisyn: a mom with three kids and a breast pump going through security, is that your biggest concern? can we do some behavioral profiling and maybe you stop the guy with the passport from yemen? >>dave: you might be on to something. let us know how you feel about this. the top five things doctors advise against doing but most paints do it anyway.

doctor, none one, do not believe everything you read. i am guilty. i have such toms -- i have symptoms i go to google and diagnosis myself. >>guest: like i fell my breast cancer patients, the internet is something to be careful about. it is great for being well informed, and the mayo clinic, and some of chat rooms and blocking sites can lead to misinformation not to mention things could sound like they pertain to you but they do not and you will have a lot of anxiety. >>dave: the symptom check is genius. do not keep secrets from your doctor. so, when they ask, do you drink? smoke? this is not time to lie why? >>guest: very important. tell all your medications even if you take herbal supplements

still tell them. and we are not the d.e.a. and we need to know if you use recreational drugs. that is important because it could pertain to the illness you have or worsen the symptoms and affect the medication but if you go to surgery and you have general anesthesia we need to know. >>dave: and the doctor and pay -- patient relationship keeps you safe. and people buy over-the-counter drugs. >>guest: they are safe if you are used as recommended, the dosage recommendation on the carton, that is safe. but be careful about mixing medications because a lot of them could contain tylenol so be careful what you mix. and take the recommended dose and you take it as long as they

recommend and the frequency. the nasal frequencies only to take for three days and more than that you get rebound congestion. so be careful of taking the medication the wrong way. >>dave: number four, jumping to take new fangled tests or scans, is this something where the patient has to trust their doctor, and their doctor will thought order unnecessary test? is that not the case? >>guest: the media is great for bringing out new tests that is come come on board but there are limitations and we him the patients that will undergo the tests when they come on board, the test for breast screening is easier than a mammogram but if we no one a problem we have no way to biopsy so be careful about the if you tests. talk to your doctor and ask if

you are a good candidate. if not, trust your doctor. >>dave: and the unnecessary tests are part of the problem of rising health care costs. and messing with your medicines. >>guest: be careful about your medication. take the pharmacy -- your doctor and pharmacy should track and to way are taking, they work find out if there are drug interactions, some drug when mixed are less effective. antibiotics you if you do not take them the duration are less effective. and steroids can worsen diabetes and blood pressure so discuss all that with the physician and the pharmacist. >>dave: doctor, thank you, good advise. coming up, it is impossible for young men in their prime but

it, it was nice. i bet it drives real good. >>dave: that was four days ago, why is g.m. pilling -- pulling the plug on the volt now? it could be the media's fault. >> all right, from u.s. soldier to country music superstar recording artist craig morgan for a special patriotic performance honoring the national anthem. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >>alisyn: good morning, everyone thank you for tuning in and we have a fox news weather alert the death toll is rising this morning, after powerful tornadoes ripped through several towns, several states, and right now the latest number is 31 people are dead.

but the number is expected to rise. as day lit dawns cross the country. >> 14 people killed in kentucky and indiana on top of the 13 early this week. homes, businesses, schools, destroyed, nothing was spared from destruction. some people glad to be alive this morning. >> i looked up. i talked to my daughter and i looked up and i seen debris everywhere. >>clayton: the devastation is days after another round killed 13 people in twisters. and our chief meteorologist is in henryville, indiana, but, first, to elizabeth in harvest, alabama. now the sun is up how does it

look? >>reporter: well, people have a long road ahead of them as far as clean up. and, people here are no stranger to cleaning up. the neighborhood here was wiped off the map april 27. they had a string of tornadoes that came through yesterday. a lot of them telling us they were just putting checks in the mail, the last check for contractors, and a lot of them going in to shelters like this, this is a like picture with people across the country building shelters lick this, and you can see storage and goods in the shelters and we had to take shelter in storm shelter lick the when you see behind me with video of it. we arrived on scene this were a number of sirens and people in the midst of covering up their homes from previous damage took

shelter saying it was location groundhog day, repeated. our colleague, rick, is in indiana and seeing damage showing how far reaching it is, can you hear me, risk? rick: yes. we are talking here with troy and showing the images of the school bus. this school behind us is a junior high, while, he was the principal of the school and got everyone in a safe spot, 39 people here rode out the tornado and it looked like this and everyone is safe. >> no one was injured. no one had a cut. nothing. we are blessed. rick: i see a smile, it has not gone off. >>guest: it won't, i am

blessed. we can replace "things," but not the people. rick: how does this happen? what were you hearing would happen and what happened? >>guest: we dismissed early because the superintendent gave me a call and said he wanted us to dismiss early and her it was 30 minutes away so we did, the cars, the student considers, the faculty left, the buses left, and of of course we had kids that were not picked up so i gathered them the hallways and the time i get them gathered the tornado alarm went off in the fire station. so we had to get to a safe spot. rick: we have shown images of the bus in the diner that will be the iconic image from this and you said you had 10 or 11 students on that bus who you got off at the last minute.

>>guest: they drove up and i was here calling my son because he was at home and i wanted him to be safe and told him to take it seriously and that is the last thing i said and i saw the bus come and the people that were across the street said the storm is coming, the tornado coming so we rushed the bus drove, mrs. perry and her 11 students left on the bus in to the office area and that is where it happened. rick: from where we are this is where the bus was and now the bus is in the diner that is across the way and just in time he got all of the students east bus. amazing. congratulations for the work. and for everyone coming out unscathed and you have done great work. back to you in new york. >>dave: it is in the 30's but does the warm winter we have had so far is negative to do with how bad the storms were this

early? >>guest: well, it does have something to do with it. we have been talking about the lack of winter. in canada, the last few weeks it has been the coldest temperatures on the planet battled up across canada and that cold air and this unseasonably warm air plays a part in this event. >>clayton: a viewer who went to high school in henryville sent me this picture of the auditorium where he played basketball, gutted. you can see the hoop, entire troop, vanished. >>alisyn: those are the most incredible pictures, if the principal did not know what to do, and there with be kids that would be devastated. a brand new investigation revealing american soldiers did not purposefully burn the korans

in afghanistan. as did you know that unfortunate incident has spawned days of retaliation against u.s. soldiers overseas and a join session by senior afghanistan and u.s. military officials now shows mistakes were made leading up to the burning but they were not intentional. the nature of the mistakes is not clear and five u.s. military officials could face discipline for their alleged v. >> voters head to the polls for the caucus and all remaining g.m. candidates have been campaigning hard in the ever grown state hoping to gain a majority of the 43 delegates and no delegates will be directly awarded as a result of the contest, winning could serve as a leg up leading in to the super tuesday. the polls open at 10:00 a.m. pacific time. if you thought the gas prices are going down you have not paid attention, the national average for a gallon of regular now $3.75, a 25th straight day we

have seen an increase in the pitch and the highest gas prices have ever been at this time of year. experts say we can expect an all-time record high of $4.25 a gallon if the trend continues if late april. maybe something will town it around. clayton, what is this give doing? >> he takes a bus in philadelphia and he wanted peace and quiet and he is accuses using a cell phone jammer to silence the phones on the city because, he presses a button and anyone on a phone it goes quiet. he did this for weeks until a reporter informed him and said would you mine telling us about your cell phone jamming equipment and he said i would be happy. he was so proud of the fact he was shutting people's phones down. >>dave: seen me up. >>alisyn: pit on the handcuffs. >>clayton: sir, can you tells

about the hidden cell phone jamming equipment? >>alisyn: can i jam everyone's phones in manhattan? deaf -- >>dave: i have a couple of people ... remember the super bowl commercial with aliens impressed with the chevrolet volt but the problem is here on earth humans have not been quite so impressed with the technology of the volt so they are pulling the plug on production of the volt for a month. >> they did not reach their estimates according to the "wall street journal" selling 7,700 volts and they were on track to sell 10,000 but they did no in 2011 and new they have to pull production for a few months and freeze workers because they cannot afford to turn them out. >>alisyn: so they are suspending 1,300 workers outside

of detroit and this is a problem. obviously, this is something that g.m. pinned a lost hopes on, and, so did the president just speaking at the out united auto workers meeting and he talked about what a great example the chevrolet volt was. >> workers got their jobs back to build the chevrolet and g.m. at hamtramck plant in detroit, where i get to get inside a brand new volt fresh off the line even though the secret service would not let me drive it. but i like sittin' in it. it was nice. i bet it drives real good. and five years from now when i'm not president anymore i'll buy

one and drive it mile. >>clayton: the question is why have they not sold? is it the costst or something health? consumer reports loves this. is it the media? that is what the vice president of the u.s. sales andations for g.m. said, the media, sales in john were impacted by the safety investigation and the exaggerates negative coverage of the fire story that was related to the volt. >>dave: you were in greater risk of a vehicle fire in the volt than in other gas-powered vehicles but it will be shut down many 19th to april 23rd, what is the future there in and what is the president saying to g.m. this morning? do you thing i could have gotten a phone call? >>alisyn: isn't someone at the white house keeping an eye on these things? the president will tout and trumpet something in a speech, a fact checker should be calling

to say everyone is smooth, right, with the volt and tomorrow you will not announce you are suspending people. [ male announcer ] juice drink too watery? ♪ feel the power my young friend. mmm!

negative impact on voter enthusiasm? a new polls shows republicans are actually more excited than democrats to vote in the 2012 election by a hard gin -- margin of 53-45 percent. >>alisyn: what is the reason? the author of "outnumbered," great to have you. >>guest: you got me out on a saturday morning, that is the power of fox. >>alisyn: and now, the enthusiasm gap. the republicans even though this is a protracted primary season with some ugly things on boat sides, they are more enthusiastic than democrats. >>guest: we have a lot of undoing, obamacare repeal, a lot of deregulation to make happen, a lot of job killing stuff from the obama administration, and he rejected the keystone pipeline and we need a boost to the energy policy and to make us self sufficient for energy so republicans are starting to realize if they don't love the

candidates they need to vote against someone and that person is rebound and he has made us enthusiastic to replace him. >>dave: the polls show up to a third or higher of the republicans do not leak this field and want someone else to get in. could we see the enthusiasm increase and the coalescing happen when we settle? >>guest: we are starting to settle. people are starting to realize right now it is santorum and romney race and they are not ideal candidates they will not get us as excited as a rubio or palin or chris christie who really gets everyone excited for the personality and the ability to pack a stadium and get young people excited. people realize santorum or romney are vastly better than rebound. if these are the options we have to get mean them to make it happen. >>alisyn: is part of it the

horse race causes enthusiasm, and it is exciting to see what happens in each pry hear and after super tuesday there could be a lull when there is just, maybe, one frontrunner? >>guest: after super tuesday when people realize this is our candidate, everyone is talking about inevitability with respect to romney and i am saying it is too soon, but when we see that one candidate has the most delegates and is going to proceed forward we will see a rise in enthusiasm, again, against president obama, and not necessarily for the candidates but for the policy, we want energy independence, pro growth policy and repeal the policies that are in place. >>dave: and we lost andrew breitbart who may not tell you the most pleasant thing but he always told you the way he really feels, genuine. >>guest: he was. andrew was a personal friend and

i could ask him for add rise and he would tell me whatever he had to say whether it made me happy or sad, whatever. when you think of licks and media, you do not thing of that. andrew was unique and revolutionized media and challenged traditional media and conventional media and shook the system up. people should pay attention to that. we are going to carry on his energy and message. >>alisyn: thank you for coming in. nice to see you. >>dave: she is only 14 but, already, knows how to put others first. is one's for all us lawnsmiths.

2010 gulf oil spill. >>alisyn: so, what is the best way to boat cancer? with jewelry. ed that is how a 14-year-old sees it. she started at 7 a julyry making business to support a family friend suffering from cancer. now, 14, she has grown the jewelry business in to a full-fledged charity raising thousands of dollars for cancer research. and now, we have the talented 14-year-old. welcome to "fox & friends" this morning. >>guest: thank you for having me. >>clayton: what motivated you to do this? >>guest: well, a close family friend of ours was diagnosed with cancer and i wanted to help. >>alisyn: how did you figure that jewelry, something that so many young girls and older girls, love, could somehow help battle cancer? >>guest: well, i got a couple of bead kits for christmas that

year and we had them lying around and we had not used them so i came up with the idea to make business -- bracelets and sell them. >>clayton: it is one thing to have an idea and another to execute it. how did you manage to make it be so usful? >>guest: well, i have a lot of support from my family and friends and my parents are always there to help me when i need it, and it is just incredible how were expert i have. >>alisyn: we are showing examples of your beautiful designs and i am wearing one right now. >>clayton: and i put one on. >>alisyn: that looks great. this says "hope," the pieces never cost more than $12 but you have managed to raise a lot of money and give it to cancer research. tell us about and of the milestones you have reaped. >>guest: well, the first year

my parents said i needed to stick to it so i said i would make 100 and sell 100 and i sole 96 and from then i have raised a gross total of $37,000. >>clayton: incredible. and they do not sell for more than $12 which is incredible, how can people get involved and make a donation or buy some of the jewelry to support your cause? >>guest: well, my website is where i have all of my products and that has been a very good source of income for the charity, and, also, on my website there is a link where you can contact me and we can get together or if you want to donate buttons or something we can set it up. >>alisyn: we will link to that and we should let our viewers know the funds you have raised

all go to cancer research and you actually dough fated them to the university of washington and they started a tissue banks thanks to the funds you raised from your charity. >>clayton: super tuesday is days away and we will talk with governor huckabee about that.

>>alisyn: we begin with a fox news weather alert because we are still just learning how bad the destruction is across the midwest and south after tornadoes have torn through the heartland. yesterday, they tore through but this is new video. we got it from indiana. 14 people were killed there. and at this hour there is a total of 31 people dead. that number could go up. >>dave: how do you pick up? and now risk is in indiana.

good morning, rick. rick: good morning, dave, where do you begin to pick up? scott, this was your home. you are here, now, trying to figure out where to begin. >>guest: me and my wife we rented this house and just trying to get a few things that are more important, my kids' stuff mainly and ... >>guest: we were here when it was coming but we ran to the corner. rib risk you came out and this is what you saw. can you wrap your mind an it? >>guest: you see it on the news but you do not realize what they are going through. rick: do you find stuff that you are so glad to fiend or stuff you are specifically looking for?

>>guest: pictures, and dvd's of family that mean as lot to my wife. my kids' stuff, we had a hamster and i know he is gone, and i feel bad for the families that lost someone. rick: bet of club, a monumental task. widespread tornado outbreak and certainly for this time of year unheard of. at 9:00 we will talk with guys chasing the storm and i interviewed one guy last year and he chased a storm and, yesterday, i was live with them during "studio b" and shep and they were the first people snowed the school right after this happened and we met them this morning and we will talk with them at 9:00, as well.

>>alisyn: he, just, really looking for pictures, grabbing pictures from the rest of your leaf that is gone. and now the other stories making headlines, cardinal dolan is speaking at a conference on long i'll, new york, about president obama's controversial birth control policy. he is one of many catholic leaders who objected to the mandate which requires all employers provide free health care coverage for contraception. this week, stat republicans -- senate republicans tried to allow the religious institutions to on the out. >> the captain of the ship she crashed another luxury liner before when he was sailing too fast if a german port. today, his lawyers will be if

court for a previle hearing in the costa concordia disaster and the captain is accused of manslaughter and abandoning ship after it capsized after the coast in january. 25 people were killed and the captain may not attend the hearing because his attorneys fear for his safety. the recession making men less rambo and more like this guy. >> hey! paid you something. >> thank you so much. that was sweet. >> my pleasure. >>alisyn: disturbing, just like the character in "i love you man," men are softer and more sensitive than they used to because of the economic downturn. the study in men's health shows gives are putting emotional

well-being and family ahead of making money and that is just dave and clayton who prefer it that way. >>dave: and your husband? >>alisyn: why see him making me a root beer float. >>clayton: this guy, governor huckabee, is here but not in the studio. >>governor huckabee: i will send you the root beer threat by way of mail. >>dave: a big week ahead and a big night for you with the presidential forum, the final debate and super tuesday is the big day, and we hear the stories, we she the head minutes, could it be over on tuesday if romney delivers, is there any indication that this is ending, any seem teen? >>governor huckabee: no, i

don't think so. a lot of people with like to think this is beginning to be the deciding factor, it could put romney if a very strong position. he will make the claim, if he wins ohio and virginia and vermont that he is the candidate and he may well be but it is not time for newt gingrich or rick santorum or ron paul to give it up because nobody is close to 1,044 delegates what you have to have to clinch the nomination. >>clayton: so, in the on approach, is this muddying the picture to super fuse, if ron paul wins in alaska, santorum wins in tennessee, and newt gingrich in georgia does it muddy the picture? >>governor huckabee: it will go on, it means, longer than people thought. and people hope it will. but, there is nothing wrong with it being a contest. i take the position that you have to win it. you should not expect other

people to quit. to let you win. you should have to fight it out. whoever comes out with the nomination, they need to be able to convince enough voters in enough states, to get enough delegates to be the nominee, not just be the last man standing because everyone else decided the game is over and they quit before it really was finished. >>alisyn: governor, and, now, ohio the poll numbers have been interesting, santorum is winning this at the moment at 33 percent and romney is at 31 percent and newt gingrich is 15 percent, and paul is at 11 percent, and is ohio the must win state? >>governor huckabee: it is critical for two reasons, they have enormous power on super tuesday, the biggest states in the contest, on super tuesday, and the other reason it is so important is because it is a big state that has to be won by a republican in order to be president. no republican has been elected president who did not carry

ohio, as simple as that so if someone can carry ohio in the primary, it is good for them to make the argument i can win in november. rick santorum had an 18-point lead two weeks ago and now it is two to four point lead so it is tightened up and the momentum is going romney's way but the question is, will he have enough momentum to get over-the-top on tuesday and we just don't know. and it could be decided right here where we are, in wilmington, ohio, in our forum because ohio voters and the country will see these guys answering the important questions of jobs and the economy, and gas prices which, i think, will decide the nominee. >>dave: you won't focus solely on contraception. that seems to be . >>guest: it will not even come up today. not that it is not an issue but not the issue that will drive the ultimate election in november or will it drive the

knox face for the primary, so, what we will focus on is the real issues of jobs and the economy, and, the candidates are not allowed to mention another candidate or attack them, and they have to speak to the questions and we will call them down to they stray from it. the questions are being posed by a panel of experts, former labor secretary chou is with us and charles gasparino and a business owner from st. louis, dave mccarthy, and citizens from ohio who have been affected by the economy and we are in the well community that had a real, real testify time losing almost 10,000 jobs in a town of 12,000 people. imagine something like. but they have been resilient. >>clayton: stick around and well get your take on something the entire world is focused on, iran, a nuclear iran, israel looking to launch an attack without giving the u.s. a heads-up that is expected to be the foe cuts of talks as rebound

is ready to sit down with israel's prime minister. what can a president say to bridge the divide? that is next. this mio energy is completely crushing my game. i take the stuff everywhere. exactly. everyone's more energized, more alert. i've lost their respect. oh who's laughing now!? gazelle!!

on tuesday, and i will tell you this is a mixed message from this administration. they have sent envoy afterren provide saying basically israel stand down, do not take any military action, and the most outrageous statement came from joint chairman of the joint chief who said, iran is a rational government. how can it be rational when you deny the holocaust and they say israel should be wiped off the face of the map. israel wants for the united states to affirm their right to defend themselves and protect their own safety and security and seventy as a nation they are not asking the united states to send f one bombers or any military assistance at this point they are just saying if we take action to protect ourselves we don't want to be told we are out of line. this president has been so adamant in trying to say israel should not take military action.

no one want as war. but if israel has to take action they want to know the united states will stand behind them. >>dave: what will come in the meeting, a preview of binyamin netanyahu meeting with president obama, and they will lay out the red lines, thattive ran cannot step over. which on then maybe lead to an attack. what would the red lones -- red lines be? >>governor huckabee: there is growing evidence that iran is near their capacity for nuclear material. iran is not developing the nuclear material to have medical use. they have enough nuclear material, now, to take x-rays and do medical work for several hundred years. so, there has to be something else going on here, and, iran is one of the few countries that openly has said to they had such a device they would enjoy using it and that makes them different

from pakistan or russia or the united states or any other countries including china, which has nuclear weapons. most have them as a deterrent, and iran is developing it so they can use it not just against israel, but they see israel as target practice, and the united states as the great satan that is their goal. and they finance groups leak hamas and hezbollah and these are not rational governments but terrorist organizations and, we have to make it clear to the world we will not let them get a nuclear device. period. no if's and's or but's. >>dave: governor huckabee we will watch tonight your presidential forum with throw of the four candidates republican paul declining and your thoughts are with the people of tennessee, kentucky, ohio and we know your thoughts are with these people. >>governor huckabee: very much. thank you.

good morning, everybody, we want to get straight to a fox news weather alert. at least 31 people killed by a deadly close of twisters in kentucky, indiana, and ohio, and tennessee, also a lot of storm damage and tons ever homes destroyed a dozens missing. mentioned tennessee and alabama got mother nature's wrath. >> clayton: rick reichmuth from indiana, the widespread of destruction and elizabeth is in harvest, alabama where they're assessing the damage. let's go right to elizabeth first. >> good morning, the crews are out here in mar vest, alabama. we can see they are he' trying to get back to norm as quickly as possible and that means pretty intense cleanup efforts. i want to show you this neighborhood, harvest, alabama, hit '89, 2011 and yesterday. look how powerful the winds, which is literally curling the beams and this is off its

foundation not unlike other homes in the neighborhood. the red brick house, brand new construction, the back side of that house was completely ripped off, when the storm went through yesterday. this it particular area was hit with about six tornados, according to the national weather service what, did people do when they had the multiple storms that come through? as you look to my left-hand side you can see this is a storm shelter here, almost a man made bunker, it's cement, cinder blocks and this is where people go when their homes are in as much danger and picked up off the foundation. we have video, yesterday, we were in one of the storm shelters and talking to people just trying to repair and tarping up their homes when we heard the sierts go off, about a five minute warning to get inside that storm shelter as that tornado went over our heads and here is what one resident told us feels likes graund hogg's day with the

constant storms. >> it's a reminder of last year around this time when the tornados came through and just kind of you, know, trying to clean things up and the second round comes through and make sure everybody is all right. >> now, there were only in that storm shelter for about a minute and the temperatures dropped 21 degrees in that time span. my colleague is in indiana where they are he' seeing widespread damage, rick rei reichmuth can you here me? >> yeah, the cold front dropped the temperatures and certainly the case up here, it's really cold out here this morning and i'm joined now by a couple of storm chasers and you guys know to well, a lot of time april and may storms come through and it's not that cold, but people are dealing with a different things, overnight last night it's brutally cold. yesterday we were on live with studio b with you guys, chasing the storms and showing us live pictures to shepard smith and now run into each

other here. you came upon this school right after it had been destroyed and this is jeff. tell me what you saw when you got here. >> five minutes after the tornado went through henriville here and we made it to the exit. and the tornado number two, we got hit with tornadic storms, and baseball, softball sized hail and storm two went into the city and we made our way around here and got here, a few, family members running into the school and i said there is he' a kid inside, yeah, kids inside, so the firemen and local officers we started looking in the building, a group of kids, hats off to the principal, gotten, 11 kids off the bus and seconds before the tornado picked up the bus and threw it across the streets and kids over here, and this is the elementary school and firemen inside the school were going room by room looking for kids. about 70 kids in the couple sections of school, none of

them injured, frightened and very upset and taken and secured after the second storm to a community center north of here and we still had some people missing just west of here in the school and basically search and rescue looking for people and digging people out of the rubble. >> i want to ask you quick, this is jeff holmes, you and i met last year, excuse me, jeremy, we met last year in tuscaloosa. what's the the experience when you see a storm like this, are you afraid or this is real and dangerous? >> this is real. we chased this system west of evansville and down 64 and coming down 64 with you guys and knew it was getting worse. i mean, the sheer coming into the environment, the storm just exploded and we knew as soon as going to across 65 something bad would happen. >> certainly a big storm and widespread across so many states and we knew this would probably be the bulls eye of where the worst is and appears to be the case and a lot more video will come out from stuff

hit when sunset went down yesterday and starting to pick up the pieces and get the pictures from that. this happened at yesterday 3:30 and the time yesterday to be able to get in and know that this was certainly one of the hardest hit areas and that's essential the case, back to you. >> unbelievable pictures there. >> the pictures are stunning. i mean, they tell the whole story, the destruction is just jaw dropping. >> and those guys driving into seeing it t oingng tds it to get better pictures, more remarkable. thanks, rick. >> alisyn: we'll check in with other stories now. the headlines, brand new investigation revealing that american soldiers did not purposely burn korans in afghanistan. as you know, incident has spawned days of retaliation and deadly attacks against u.s. soldiers overseas and joining the investigation by senior afghan and u.s. military officials, now shows the mistakes were made and leading up to the burning, but they were not intentional, and the nature of those mistakes not clear at this hour and told at least five u.s. military officials could face

disciplinary action for their involvement. and an out pouring of love and support last night in chardon, ohio hundreds of people paid respects to the parmtore family and 16-year-old son d danda danny laid to rest. 'en two others lost theirs lives. the suspect tj lane facing charges on three juvenile accounts of aggravated murder and coming up we'll talk to a psychiatrist who has treated troubled adolescents what could have gone wrong there. it's not getting better. gas prices are up for the 25th day in a row. national average for a gallon of regular is now 3.75. and that's the highest ever for this time of year. and experts say we can expect an all time record high of about 4.25 per gallon. sometime in late april, if this trend continues. incredible video now of a helicopter plunging right from

the sky straight into the ground and amazingly, when you see this, you won't believe everyone made it out alive. this all happened in coolidge, arizona. witnesses say after the crash the men shut off the chopper's engines and just climbed out of the wreckage, they were apparently part of a film crew shooting a stunt for the korean version of the show "top gear" it's believed a mechanical failure caused the accident. those are the headlines. >> clayton: talking about motor vehicles. gas prices, probably people want to rush to buy other vehicles to save money or the thought process going into the chevy volt and gas prices continue to rise and less dependency on foreign oil, the impetus behind it. the sales numbers doesn't look good for gm. they're having to freeze production because the sales numbers have been so low. >> dave: they're idling 1300 workers from the gm plant that

builds the chevy volt, and there's the numbers. they wanted 10,000 volts sold this year alone 9600 sold over a two year period and clearly falling short of the goal. despite. taxpayer money poured into gm and millions and millions of dollars put into marketing the volt, including a super bowl ad, over 3 million bucks a pop. one of the interesting things, the president this pass week was at the united auto workers union, and he was speaking and hoped to buy one, he didn't know that they were being suspended. let's listen. >> the and the gm plant out in ohio, and where workers got their jobs back to build the chevy cobalt. and gm's hamtramck plant, detroit. >> where i got to get inside a

brand new chevy volt fresh off the line. even though secret service wouldn't let me drive it. but i like sitting in it. it was nice. i'll bet it drives real good. and five years from now, when i'm not president anymore, i'll buy one and drive it myself. >> yeah, the numbers dave was talking about, they fell well short of 2011 supposed to hit 10,000 sold and didn't, hit about 7700 and now, don johnson the vice-president of u.s. sales and operations saying in january, we were clearly impacted by the investigation over the fire related information and he exaggerated negative coverage he says, it was the media's fault the exaggerated coverage. >> dave: the coverage of the fire was a bit exaggerated. the fire risk is no greater than most cars. the price tag doesn't help.

41,000. >> alisyn: you can get a tax credit of 7500 and knock it down to 34,000, still an expensive car. once there's an investigation launched by the national transportation highway safety administration, then maybe they do explode upon impact, and that's accustomed to sales and even if the investigation found they didn't, there is no higher rate of explosion, but that cut into sales. >> dave: it's about communication, too, with the white house. just like the problem with solyndra, out there touting the success of companies like solyndra, he's southing the success of the volt a few days later. >> clayton: the demand. >> dave: five weeks, by the way. >> clayton: the ford fusion, electric fusion set to come out in two or three months, a waiting list and people are trying to get this car and can't. nissan leaf, almost sold out immediately and other hybrids, the prius. huge success, why is the demand less for this, is it the cost, the price tag? i don't know, let us know what you think about the chevy volt and continuing there. you can find us

friends@foxnews.com, or ff weekend on twitter. >> alisyn: pharmacologist apologizing for giving kids pills meant to go to cancer patients. and details on this scary story coming up. >> dave: and we're looking at high gas prices and washington is placing the blame to big oil. a the former ceo of shell coming up. >> clayton: tornados in the midwest and south, more than 36 people dead this hour, we'll head back to indiana for the latest.

living with the pain of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... could mean living th joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra, humira's proven to helrelieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb.

ask your doctor if you live or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your rheumatologist how you can defend against and help stop further joint damage with humira. >> pain at the pump. the national average for a gallon of gas right now is it 3.75. president obama is putting the blame on big oil. >> right now 4 billion of your

tax dollars, 4 billion subsidizes the oil industry. every time you go to the gas tank, or fill up your gas tank, they are making money. every time. now, does anyone think that congress should give them another 4 billion dollars this year? of course not, it's outrageous. it's inexcusable and i'm asking congress, eliminate this oil industry give away right away. >> and john the former founder of citizens for affordable energy, good morning to you, john. >> good morning, dave. >> let me give you some numbers, exxon-mobile the latest quarterly profit. up 41 from the year earlier. it's a slam-dunk what the president is saying, why should we give big oil money?

>> you know, if we were concerned about the american people and disposable income that they are giving up because government, whether it's the last administration or this administration, gasoline prices have risen every year structurally for the last seven years, you would think in that seven-year period, dave, that somebody in office, republican or democrat, would try to look out for the interests of the american people. the tax subsidies are neither here nor there when it comes to the reality that china and india are growing their demand every year, we all know it, and yet, the american oil companies are prohibited from drilling where they need to drill, 85% of the outer continental shelf. they're prohibited in federal land and this president and the previous president have done absolutely nothing to allow americans access to their domestic natural resources. i think that is a direct hit

on the american people for which elected officials need to be held to account. >> dave: most of the increased production domestically, private land like we're seeing in north dakota. again, to that point when it's 4 billion dollars giving to an industry that one company alone gave 125 billion in revenue in one quarter, why should we continue those oil subsidy and preferences? >> i've testified in the past during my corporate career and other ceo's from companies have testified. if you want to eliminate the subsidies or the tax code or change the tax code, that's fine. but don't discriminate against the single industry because of the precedence that that sets in this country. change the tax codes across the board and let's deal with the totality of the tax code and if those tax write offs go away, so be it it, but deal with the entirety of the tax code, don't just because you can go after one industry. maybe tomorrow it's the meat

packers, maybe it's the automotive industry at a different time. we don't need to single out specific industries in this country for punishment because they're successful. instead. let's get real, we have more energy in this country than we ever, ever will use. why isn't our government allowing the american people access? we produce less than 7 million barrels a day in a country that needs 20. and for years, and years and years, decades, our government has forced us to live off imports. >> dave: and produce american-- i want a question in there, attacking the president and some of the rhetoric of gingrich, so we can lower gas to 2.50 a gallon. is that at all realistic with new drill permits? >> my approach would be a little different. you can't just drill your way out of this. in that regard, i agree with the president. he we used to produce 10 million barrels a day and now we produce 7 and then 10 and

turn natural gas into transportation fuel, whether the personal cars create ethanol or alternative to gasoline, along with ethanol, we could produce upwards of 15 to 17 million barrels a day in this country through our own technology in this nation and tell opec to take a hike. >> now we're talking, john. i think we've found some common ground there, i agree with that. john hofmeister, former ceo of shell and citizens for energy. >> thank you. >> dave: coming up, humiliated, how she felt after the tsa stopped her trying to board a plane with empty baby bottles, what she had to do in front of perfect strangers to get on board. and then count your coupons because the stores are, some retailers fighting back on extreme couponing, by limiting the numbers shoppers can use. are couponers getting a bad

wrap? we'll talk to one. 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. we're definitely gonna need another one. small sinesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best tecology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006.

>> all right. welcome back. this is an interesting story. extreme couponing, getting some extreme backlash, and retailers saying the growing trend is using the special offers, forcing some stores to change their policy. so, are couponers getting a bad rap? and joining me is the crazy coupon lady, not my name for her. and joni, i don't want people to call you crazy. >> and hey, i am a crazy coupon lady. >> what is happening here at the retailers?

are they slam pg down on the folks bringing in tons of coupons? what's happening? >> you know, they are and retailers have a, and stores have been changing their policies on a fairly regular basis for years, but you're right, this airing of extreme couponing, an increase in the rate of the changes. but the problem is, that the media and other outlets are portraying these changes as maybe game changers or enders for couponers and that really isn't the case. even though some of the changes certainly make it more difficult for couponers to save money, others make it easier and clarity to, issues that have been gray in the past and rules like, limits set on the number of products you can buy at a time. only buy four of an identical product. and you know, that actually helps couponers and that doesn't mean one inconsiderate individual can't go to the store and clear the shelves. >> and a few bad apples that

tend to ruin things for the bunch. >> the actions of a few, you know, do not represent the majority in this case. >> clayton: now the other side of it. we caw j.c. penney during the academy award throw out the ad campaign, basically slamming the head of coupon and the head of j.c. penney use today run apple retail stores and put up the gimmicks, sales, sales, sales, coupons, our way of tricking customers into thinking they were getting great deals. why don't we just give customers the lowest possible price. so, in a way, our coupon backlash, is it better for consumers not to have to worry anyare way. >> air he never going to get the crazy coupon lady to tell you that. and different retailers are trying to incentivize customers through different methods. and manufacturesers are paying to distribute the coupons and there really should be no

stigma attached to coupons or saving money at all. people doesn't understand that stores are reimbursed for every single cent of a coupon that an individual uses. >> great information this morning, and crazy coupon lady and the author of a book, pick out another checkout lane, honey. thank you for waking up with us in san francisco. >> yes. >> clayton: fishermen paid not to fish, to stay home and turn in their fishing license. what's the catch? and we've seen the path of destruction left behind by the deadly tornados in the south and midwest. we're going to head back to henriville, indiana one of the hardest places hit. [ male announcer ] in blind taste tests, even ragu users chose prego. prego?! but i've been buying ragu for years. [ thinking ] i wonder whaother questionable choices i've made? [ club scene music ]

[ sigh of relief ] [ male announcer ] choose taste. choo prego. trouble with a car insurance claim. [ dennis ] switch to allstate. their claim service is so good, noit's guaranteed. [ foreman ] so i can trust 'em. unlike rdy. dolr for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate.

>> welcome back to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning and begin with a fox news weather alert. we've been following the story for you all morning long and the nation's heartland ripped apart after being slammed by tornados and this and the new videos in the news room from indiana and hard to believe some of the damage is. the death toll at 31 across the nation. >> alisyn: one of the hardest hit areas is henriville, indiana and rick reichmuth is there for us surveying the

damage. what are you seeing? >> that 31 brings the total this week to 44 fatalities and there's around 60 a year in the u.s. and we've had 41 this week, not 41, 44 this week, an incredible week and this is the scene like you're seeing everywhere i can see five cars turned upside down or smashed against each other or in between the wall and the roof structure to the school and look at the school here and everywhere you look, you look at insulation, books, chairs, desks, everything ripped apart. and 39 people in side of the building, nobody was injured or killed and amazing, and the principal of the school, certainly did such a good job to keep all of the students safe. joe, you're on the school board of the is school here in the community. have you ever seen anything like this in your town. >> no, nothing like this, you know, we've had storms and a little damage, but nothing of

this magnitude. and just don't realize what it is until you see one firsthand. and it's real frightening. >> did you see the tornado. >> no, what i'll refer to as just a devastation and damage that was done. it's just something you see on the news, but until you come and look at it firsthand and realize what mother nature can do, it's real scary. >> it's only early march, a lot of the school season left, what do you do for the students that go here. >> the board and administration are actually going to meet today at noon, and we're going to start brain storming and see what we can, we've got roughly 1100 students on this campus, and we've got two other campuses that we could look to shift the students to, but a lot of students to try to fit into additional buildings, but we've got to do something, because we can't call school in. >> right. i'm sure a lot of kids

wouldn't mind that. you know, you come out and you look at the tornados, but sow often the peak of the season which is april, may and june and i tell you, the cold front moves through in april, may or june after this and it isn't as cold as early march. you've got a lot of people without power now and temperatures below freezing and might have a little bit of snow a couple mornings from now. how do you get around it and do you think that happens and how are people going to handle that? >> we're fortunate that duke and electric got power to the surrounding area back on and a lot of people before dark last night. and this itself. weeks before the people have power back and just the bare necessities to see what tech salvage. >> and the fact of the matter, the buildings are uninhabitable. >> thank you so much. back to you. >> rick, quick, are the storms done?

is there anything coming tonight down south? >> there isn't. in fact, the two storms happened and going to calm things down for five to six days in any kind of severe weather and that's good news and the cold air is here and a little bit of snow comes here and certainly, cold temperatures for the next few days. >> and snow on top of this. all right, thanks, rick, we'll be keeping an eye on that and check with that later. thanks, rick. >> the rest of your headlines and a lot more to tell you about, donald trump continues to voice support for presidential candidate mitt romney. and the real estate mogul and reality show host, recording a robo call ahead of super tuesday. and trump recorded calls for him in michigan and it's been said that the calls helped secure a win for romney there. those calls slammed santorum for pretending to be a d.c. outsider. the man set to become the third highest ranking official at department of justice, previously defended a

convicted taliban member. tony west has been named assistant attorney general for the civil service division. the announcement made earlier this woeek, but here is what was not included, represented convicted taliban member john walker lynn, currently serving a prison sentence for aiding the taliban. in 2009, west helped raise tens of millions of dollars as finance co-chair for president obama's first presidential cabinet campaign. and dozens of kids in new jersey might have been taking pills to treat breast cancer instead of what they thought. they're similar in size and colorful, and different labels stamped on them. the 50 families prescribed the fluoride in the past months have been contacted and health experience said the children would not experience side effects from the cancer drug. hard to believe. and with sadness w report a

world war ii veteran has died. he's credited with bringing down german prisoners of war, his bravery earning him the congressional medal of honor in 1994. he was 92 years old. the greatest generation, those are your headlines. >> dave: fantastic. let's talk to you now, so many horror stories over recent years with tsa, it's hard to actually get a story to stand out. well, they have managed to do is yet again with a mom. going through security with a breast pump and sees the bottles of milk and pour out the milk and figures i have to pour this out and turns out that security agents didn't like that she had empty bottles and needed her to prove what in the world this press pump was and does and fill up the said bottles. >> if you go to the tsa website, breast milk has an exemption and could have gone

through and wouldn't have to worry about it. nevertheless, tsa also her to prove it's a breast pump and not a bomb contraption and toting three kids with her, goes into a restroom and standing there as other passengers are going by and she says this is what her experience was, the quote on the screen from her. and in a dress and heels and find myself in front of the sink and mirror with travelers in and out of the bathroom, it confuses me how an empty breast pump and a cooler pack are a threat to national security and 20 minutes later with milk they suddenly no longer pose a threat to national security. >> right, can you imagine this scenario. first, the outrage of having to dump out the breast milk, she did that, knew the rules and having to refill it at the behest of an agent. half naked in a public bathroom as people are in and out. so humiliating and wrong, and again, these are the people that we pull out of line, a

breast-feeding mom as opposed to somebody who looks or acts like a terrorists? here a what the tsa had to say. the passenger has contacted us with her concerns and accept responsibility for the apparent misunderstanding and inconvenience or embarrassment this incident may have caused her. the officer in question is receiving remedial training. >> if it were a lone incident it'd be one thing, but it's repeatedly we're seeing the wrong people. >> grannies in wheelchairs, four year olds being frisked. >> i don't get it, usually it's a bureaucratic thing on a list that forces the agents to have to do it. you know what, this is the rule, we have to do this, but because there's an exemption for breast milk there shouldn't have had to be the issue. recently travel and a wonderful tsa agent helped us travel with our child and meticulous and the stroller taken care of. i don't want to paint all of these people bad. they're hard working americans and sometimes they're caught nup bureaucratic garbage and

here is the new order. the breast milk bottles. >> and she knew that breast milk, that breast milk was allowed and he didn't, the tsa agent. keep your e-mail coming. >> meanwhile, an offer for you, how would you like 500 bucks just to not fish? i'll take it. >> dave: it happens in the state of massachusetts where the government, in conjunction with noaa. national oceanic atmospheric agency. giving people checks not to fish, and get get the permit. >> looking at 1800, nearly 1900 individuals and want to study the environmental impact if they were not force today fish, not looking to see how it's going to affect the fishing population, and schools of fish, nothing to do with it. if there were ever some sort after oil spill in the state of massachusetts by doing this test they would know how it would effect local fishermen,

the reasoning behind this. >> alisyn: mind you, this is recreational fishermen. and professional of fishermen, fishing for cod they've been devastated because the cod is overfished and the commercial fishermen. this is for recreational fishermen, hand in their license and get $500, an academic exercise, how much it would be worth. >> dave: socialology experiment. >> clayton: and an economics, can i play devil's advocate. the questions that we had after the deep water horizon spill in the gulf, what is the environmental impact on the fishing population, et cetera, et cetera and no one seemed to know. and take years. maybe this is preemptive and we'll have an idea if something like this happens. >> alisyn: the recreational fishermen are skeptical and suspicious and think there's some other plan--

>> a catch. >> alisyn: maybe there's a catch, i like that, clayton, morris. >> dave: and back to $75,000. and one senator e-mails or tweets at ff weekend. >> coming up, he opened fire inside his ohio high school, killing three classmates and many still wondering what set off accused gunman tj lane. we talk to dr. jeffrey lieberman about the warning signs. parents, you don't want to miss that. >> alisyn: first a check with neil cavuto, what's coming up on the cost of freedom business block. >> lawmakers scrambling as drivers are slammed at the pump. is the economy about to slam on the brakes next? some say the signs are here. and outrage at the banks on reports of fees. why the outrage may be right, but the blame is wrong. and try looking to washington instead. and at first, the government grab on private property, now a new fight to stop it. the cost of freedom is at the

top of the hour. see you then. i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been tated for heart faure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ male announcer ] enbrel. the #1 biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

>> classes resumed yesterday at chardon high school in ohio, the site of monday's deadly school shooting left students dead. a funeral for one of the victims begins minutes r from now. the 17-year-old shooting suspect with three-count of aggravated murder. and questions will surround what could have set him off. to join us now for a look at the warning signs and risk factors, jeffrey lieberman at columbia university. great to have you here. you've treated troubled adolescents in the past and perhaps there are some warning signs that parents should listen to this morning that could help all of us. let's start with the risk factors you see in tj lane's case that could have set him up for this, including domestic violence of the parents? >> well, i mean, tj lane had certain long-term risk factors

that already increased the potential for some type of pathology, be it medical, psychiatric or sociopathology and including the fact that he wasn't raised by his parents origin and his parent weren't married. >> alisyn: he was in the foster care system? >> right. he was taken by his grandparents, paternal grandparents, but he was exposed to early trauma, both emotional and physical, because of domestic violence between his parents. this is a very substantial risk factor for potential problems. >> alisyn: if you're around violence, sometimes you become violence. let's look the at the warning signs, all parents hope if they spot the classmates keep their kid away from him. one of the first things, alienation, he became a loner. >> he had some intellectual disabilities to go from the public mainstream school to

the special remedial school and began a process of social isolation, the ability for kids to tease him, he was slightly different, no longer part of the gang. and in this day and age with the internet, this kind of shame, which adolescents are acutely sensitive to is amplified on facebook and social media and narcissistic insult to him. >> alisyn: we've seen the social, cyber bullying that can happen. and you say the neural biological and mental instability of youth, meaning that teenagers are susceptible? >> the reality is from our studies of developmental neuro biology, that adolescence is a time of kind of formative dynamic changes in the brain and it really is a period of great instability, it's fertile ground for individuals to have a genetic or an environmental predisposition, behavioral disturbance to emerge. >> you say that he had lost weight recently, that's a

warning sign? >> it it could be. you don't know what the basis of it was. among the things that were different, moved to the other school, posted strange things on the internet and wrotes about death in his writings and a dramatic weight loss and fascination with a certain kind of diet. now, we don't know if this was due he got into some kind after cult or-- >> or some sort of drugs, diet pills or something. >> maybe taking drugs or when people are depressed it affects your appetite and frequently weight loss and risk factors. >> alisyn: parents need to monitor their kids online and physical behavior, make sure they're not loners or alienated. dr. jeffrey lieberman, we appreciate your expertise. >> thanks. >> alisyn: you helped to bail them out and chevy is pulling the plug temporarily on the volt. we'll explain what's freezing production. then we're following the trail of destruction left behind by the devastating tornados in the south and the midwest, more than 30 people are dead
