push forward this weekend. have a great weekend. wish kimberly happy birthday. dana needs 2,000 twitter followers to make it 100,000. >> bob: happy birthday! >> dana: happy birthday. ... >> gregg: fox news alert. kansas declaring a winner. rick santorum sweeping the state's caucuses as the candidates slug it out in fight for the republican nomination. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> heather: i'm heather childers. associated press is report weigh 88% of the precincts reporting. rick santorum has won the state with 53% following behind mitt romney with this percentage, 17%. newt gingrich, 16% and ron paul coming in with 13%.

another big contest, of course, the wyoming caucuses with 44% in mitt romney leading so far, 47% and rick santorum with 34% followed by ron paul with 7%. so far no percentage in yet for newt gingrich. to break it all down we'll go to alicia in wichita, kansas. >> reporter: i talked to rick santorum. he says he feels good about what happened in kansas. he did come into the race among the favorite. they wanted someone that reflects that values. >> here is what santorum told me about that. >> i'm being attacked by my opponents in mississippi and alabama, as not being a conservative. yet here in one of the most conservative states in the country they abandoned the

field. >> reporter: romney is doing some celebrating of his own. overnight he won 18 delegates on guam and u.s. territories. he is leading in wyoming tonight. gingrich cancelled a plan to go to kansas planning to spend time in mississippi and always. regardless of the outcomes on tuesday he intends to stay in this thing all the way to the republican convention in florida this summer. he has said that before. ron paul fought hard in kansas traveling throughout the state. he told one group of voters he wasn't after a specific number of delegates but the more the merrier. everybody looks now towards tuesday and contest in the south. >> heather: thank you very much. big win for rick santorum. gregg, you have more on that. >> gregg: as rick santorum decisively takes the state of kansas, mitt romney now has more than twice as many delegates as do his opponents.

none of them are showing any signs of dropping out of the race. it's raising questions about, well, a drawn out campaign, what it might mean for the general election. should somebody fold? bob cusack joins us. newt gingrich says, this is a quote. i think there is a fair chance we're going to win meaning on tuesday. you know what, he actually could win in alabama. he is barely ahead by 1 percentage points in couple of polls but significantly behind in mississippi. he is in third place there. does he have to get a win on tuesday to remain viable? >> i think so. at least one and probably two. newt gingrich always talked about bold policies. he needs bold results. super tuesday was a very bad night for newt gingrich. he did win georgia his home state but outside of that he didn't finish second in any other state. rick santorum won one state and

finished second in four others. it has to a big day for newt gingrich. he says he won't get out. we have heard other candidates, say that. remember, no more debates are scheduled. that doesn't help him. >> gregg: he insists he is going all the way to convention. as you point out everybody says that right before they toss in the towel. it's kind of a sign they are going to say, i'm going all the way to the convention. but gingrich seems really driven bob. some say he is driven by malice. do you think conservatives are going to apply serious pressure on the former speaker to quit? >> i do. i don't know if it's going to work. newt gingrich is 68. this is going to be his last run for the white house. he has a decent relationship with rick santorum. they go back a long time.

gingrich does not want romney to win. he knows the best shot that santorum has is for him to drop out. but a lot of people say, snuit newt and he is going to do whathe wants. he is going to do what he wants. it remains to be is seen. of. >> gregg: if gingrich really wants to hurt mitt romney, quitting would be do the most damage, wouldn't it? >> absolutely, no doubt about it. >> gregg: i want to talk more about his strategy. no more debates. that really limits his ability to try to inspire and connect with voters because he's got serious money woes, doesn't he? >> he does and his candidacy has been helped tremendously by the super pac, he has been given five million chunks. will it continue? it remains to be seen. if you look at the map it

doesn't favor gingrich. i think there will be bumps in the road for mitt romney because you had always and mississippi. after that you have louisiana. >> gregg: he is talking about winning texas and california, is that realistic? >> he's got to make the case he is just not a southern kennedy. he won big in south carolina. where else other than georgia. that is why tuesday is vital for newt gingrich. >> gregg: bob, great to talk to you. thanks very much. >> heather: another fox news alert for you now. bloodshed continuing in syria. government troops pushing ahead with a new assault in several rebel controlled areas. human rights group says more than a dozen rebels have died so far. all of this as kofi annan is meeting with assad to try to find a peaceful solution to the

year long uprising. do you go doug mckelway is joining us live. >> kofi annan put several peace proposals on the table. he expressed grave concern over the crackdown on protestors and access to humanitarian aid in syria. the syrian president said any political dialogue was doomed to fail as long as armed terrorist groups continue to spread anarchy. his insist is an apparent escalation of violence. 3,000 refugees have fled to lebanon. escape routes are being mind and shelled. rape and torture and shelling of innocents by assad's forces presses on. obama administration stops short of military aide to the opposition. >> our goal is to try to

approach the issue of syria on an international basis. the international community has brought sanctions against syria, has condemned syria, has made a specific request for assad to step down. >> they are applauding the administration's efforts but senator john mccain is calling for more. >> providing military assistance to the free syrian army and other opposition groups is necessary, but at this late hour that alone will not be sufficient to stop the slaughter and save innocent lives. the only realistic way to do so is with foreign air power. >> reporter: earlier today, kofi annan met with russian foreign minister. russia has been opposed against any involvement in syria saying foreign air power would be violation of international law.

>> heather: thank you very much. >> gregg: israeli warplanes hammering gaza strip. it's retaliation for nearly 100 rocket attacks in two days alone. palestinian officials report that the strikes have killed at least 15 people, wounding 22 others, four of the dead are believed to be members of the popular resistance committees that has launched rockets toward israel and fired mortars. >> heather: turning to iran, the head of the nuclear watchdog not ruling out that iran may be pulling a fast one to pull potential traces of nuclear testing. world powers are demanding full access for nuclear sites especially this one. new satellite images show trucks and bulldozers at the site suggesting efforts by iran to clean up the area and remove any traces of before

inspectors arrive. we'll have much more on what it means. that is a little later in the show. >> gregg: new developments in afghanistan, five taliban prisoners under u.s. control at guantanamo bay agreeing to be transferred. this according to senior officials and u.s. has not agreed to the transfer. they would be moved to qutar under less restrictive conditions. it's seen as an incentive to bring the taliban to peace talks. during world war ii they were known as the develop i will's brigade. joint u.s. and canadian strike team laid the foundation for today's navy seals and green berets. there is new push in washington, d.c. to award these men with congress's highest honor before it's too late. peter doocy has that story from

washington. >> in 1942 this group of men lumberjacks, miners and hunters who volunteered to be part of the first special service force, a joint canadian and american team so feared by enemies they became known as the devil's brigade. >> i certainly didn't feel like a devil, did you? >> no, i was too young to be a devil by then. >> they would be highly trained and highly motivated and pushed upon limits and endurance of ordinary troops. >> highly trained group of 1800 men, they killed 35 --18 men. >> this is the first time that two countries joined together in one military operation with one command point and not having two separate commands and two separate troops. >> now a bipartisan group of 53

congressman and 19 senators are sponsoring an effort to collectively award the brigade the congressional gold medal. >> we are seeing the gentlemen in minimum late 80s if not early 90s, we need to take that opportunity as a country now to say thank you. >> i don't know any group was tougher, got more guts and spirit and heart and soul as the devil's brigade. >> in battle they would be deep behind enemy lines and leave stickers on bodies that said the worst is yet to come. so the germans wouldn't feel safe anywhere and it worked. when his colleagues on the hill hear stories like that it's easy to get them on board. >> gregg: peter, thanks very much. >> heather: growing concerns over a nuclear cover-up possibly

by iran, is tehran pulling the wool over our eyes. we'll talk about exactly what that means for any negotiations to resolve the nuclear standoff. >> gregg: breaking news from washington, a judge stabbed, a sheriff's deputy shot and massive manhunt underway for the attacker. >> harris: chris christie blasting a student at a townhall. what triggered the strong words coming up. >> if you decide to put on a show today, i can go back and forth as long as you wanted. you're going to get through thrown in jail, idiot. the aduln with the taste and nutrition that just might inspire a little "healthy" competition.

>> gregg: fox news alert. rick santorum has overwhelmingly won the kansas caucuses today which means essentially he gets 32 of the 40 delegates at stake there. there he is. 53% of the voted so far. most of the precincts are reporting. let's take a look at the second board. gingrich once again in third place, 15%, ron paul, 13%.

wyoming we're keeping an eye on romney showing strength in the caucuses there. actually many of the counties caucused early in the week. so two big caucuses and we're following both of them. we'll let you know the final results when we get them. >> heather: a manhunt underway in washington state for an armed man who stabbed a judge and then shot a sheriff's deputy with her own gun. casey stegall is live in los angeles with the very latest details for us. >> reporter: we're following a big development in this case, you talk about that manhunt. we are getting information from the seattle times newspaper that this manhunt may have come to an end. police have reportedly surrounded a home where the suspect is thought to be. that newspaper is reporting that

the police are currently in negotiations with the suspect. 34-year-old steven kravitz. the motive is unclear but bizarre chain of events yesterday. we don't know what this man was doing at this tiny courthouse about 90 miles isn't of seattle in the small community but apparently the incident did not happen in a courtroom, taking place at the main entrance of the building. eyewitnesses say he got into a struggle with a sheriff's deputy and then stabbed her with what is believed to be scissors or a small knife and then he took her service weapon and shot her in the shoulder. a judge saw this all going down and he jumped in to help. listen. >> there have been a commotion in the hallway. >> he had a weapon in his hand,

a knife or something. he was stabbing her. that is when i got stabbed. >> that judge as you just heard was also stabbed. fortunately the injuries to him or the deputy were not extremely serious. they were both treated and released from a hospital yesterday. are you ready for this? police say that the suspect's mother may have come and picked him up from the courthouse after this all happened yesterday. so again, just to recap we are getting information now that the manhunt may in fact be over. seattle times newspaper reports that police have located the suspect 34-year-old steven kravitz. we'll stay on top of this. we're making calls, as soon as we have more information, we'll pass it on to you. >> heather: we hope the negotiations work. thank you very much.

>> gregg: as we mentioned, a good day for rick santorum. he won the kansas caucuses and he is speaking in springfield, missouri. let's take a listen. >> you get the job done. but we are going to work twice as hard. we're spending date in missouri and obviously came from kansas. we'll be back couple more times before next saturday. we're going to continue to work hard and drive through and make sure that everybody gets out to those caucuses. we have just as big a win in ten days as about a month ago. that is why we're here today. we thank you for being here today. [ applause ] >> i wanted to get right to the nub have this. this is about big things. this is an important election. you heard everybody say it but this may be the most important

election of our lifetime. i believe it is the most important election. we have to have candidate. a nominee who can get up there and draw a clear contract with the president of the united states. you hear the media, looks like the economy is getting better. the economy may be getting better and republicans may lose their edge on that issue. that was the only in this race, we don't know. but that is point we don't know what the big issue of the day when it comes to national security. it may be the dominant issue. national security with iran on the precipice of getting a nuclear weapon, israel feeling increasingly isolated by this administration. president obama said at apac he next day i went there, no you have turned your back on israel. [ cheers and applause ]

>> if you listen to prime minister netanyahu's speech. it was speech from a man pleading from a country that is being targeted for annihilation by bunch of radicals. they mean what they say. president of united states may not think we're in a holy war but they believe they are in holy war and they are specifically targeting israel and the jewish people. we've seen it before. we don't want to see it again. we need a president that is going to stand up and make sure that never happens. [ applause ] >> i may not have been a wall street private equity fund manager but i served eight years on the armed services committee.

i led the charge identifying iran's nuclear program nine years ago, authored bills to put sanctions to stop it. we're not electing a ceo we're electing a commander in chief. [ applause ] >> people say my tough stance on iran is war mongering, just the opposite. just the opposite. when i introduced the bill back in 2004, i introduced that bill because i wanted to prevent a war. people that we are dealing with iran, the radicals who are in control do not reflect the values of the people of iran. remember, iran is a persian country, as the persian country with a great and rich civilization, one that is not hostile to jews historically.

>> gregg: rick santorum speaking to an audience in springfield, missouri. where some folks in missouri like to say missouri but he is the big day for him, he won the neighboring state of kansas winning 32 of the 40 delegates. he picked up couple in wyoming, as well. returns are not fully in wyoming but talking about foreign policy and making a not so subtle swipe for his tenure heading up a private equity firm. the themes he stressed in kansas resonated with evangelical voters that were voting in the caucuses. his suawlg opposition to abortion and gay marriage seemed to hit a theme with those folks in kansas and he won the state overwhelmingly today. >> heather: a strategic move moving from the social irons to

foreign policy. thank you very much. >> moving ahead, is iran trying to pull a fast one with its nuclear program? new evidence that iran may be trying hide its nuclear intentions. what it means for possible negotiations up next. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle -- 8% every 10 years. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health. i've got revigor. what's revigor? it's the amino acid metabolite, hmb to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time.

... >> gregg: major concerns now that iran may have nuclear tricks up its sleeve. these are new satellite images suggesting that they are concealing work on the nuclear program. u.n. diplomats show that work crews and trucks are trying to clean up evidence of nuclear tests. if inspectors are allowed into iran can they really be able to see what is going on? joining us now rick grenell, former speoq man for the last four ambassadors to the u.n. iran has been delaying access to

the military complex. do you think it's possible for them to remove all of the incriminating radioactive evidence and fooling nuclear inspectors? >> it's a great question. i don't think anybody knows the real answer because the iaea which is the u.n. inspection team to conduct the surprise inspections they have sensitive equipment that could tell if there was radioactivity testing. we aren't able to have unannounced inspections so that is troubling. iran is very good at right when the world is about ready to say enough is enough, they come up with a new idea to say, let's have some talks in a couple of weeks. they really are very good at understanding when the pressure is about ready to mount and break and when they need to come out and say let's talk a little bit. >> gregg: even if they were able

to put together a nuclear bomb. they have to have a detonation device. are they testing one? >> we do know from previous reports, they have tested some sort of ignition devices. there is a chamber there and we suspect intelligence shows that they have been putting that piece together. if you look at the pieces of the program, it's like a top secret recipe inside the kitchen. we know that they have the recipe. we know they know how to bake the cake and they have all the pieces and bowls laid out and over seven pre-heated. if we can have a surprise inspections to go on in, we caught you with flour on the table we would know they are putting them together. >> what about a delivery device? >> they clearly ever a delivery

device enhancement that is why.... >> gregg: they have missiles but i'm not sure the missiles are capable of carrying a nuclear warhead? >> they do have the capability to carry them it's just how far. so the question is this a threat for israel, is it a threat for europe or is this a threat for the united states? most people would agree they don't have the capability to send it over to united states or europe but they certainly have the capability to send it as far as israel which is within their region. i think we do have a problem. unannounced inspection would solve a lot if the iaea could go in, we could figure out what is going on in that kitchen. the problem is iranians are not allowing the u.n. to come in unannounced. let's have talks in a couple weeks. >> gregg: it's like a yo-yo.

they pull them in and pull them up and back and forth buying time many say. speaking of time, what do you think the time line is here because that is major concern about a tactical preemptive strike? >> i don't think that is the right question to ask. i think if you suspect someone has all the pieces again is how we say you have the program. you have the recipe and everything else, don't you think if it's illegal which the u.n. says enriching any uranium is against u.n. resolutions, it should be stopped. we should go in and say we know you are enriching uranium, it's against the u.n. rules and you should stop. what the obama administration is saying, until they put everything together, until we absolutely know that that nuclear weapon is in the air, maybe, then we're not going to react.

it really puts the united states in a defense mode if we wait too long. i think we need to play offense and say we have the evidence that you have the program. it's illegal for you to have this. unless you allow us to have immediate inspections we're going to have take matters into our own hands. >> gregg: or israel will. rick, good to see you. >> heather: president obama talking up the economy getting a political boost from growing momentum in the jobs market. will had republican candidates have to change their campaign strategy? our power panel weighs in. taxpayers footing the bill for an electric car, but this one is pretty but it couldn't even make it around the test track before breaking down. is it becoming the next solyndra? >> that is a good-looking vehicle.

for the first time. welcome julie. we're going to begin with you since first time on the panel. what are your thoughts. some of the republican candidates to change that agenda. >> they are in the quandary that walter mondale was in when the news starting getting good. it was quite high when reagan were reelected but do we want to change forces in the stream. that is the problems for the republican candidates. you saw what happened in kansas today. i think people, republican caucus is starting to look more and more at social issues that have been dominating the republican primary race so far, especially with rick santorum doing well in kansas. they are taking their eye off the prize. economy getting better it will be hard for the republican nominee to attack the economy when things are getting better. >> heather: and regarding his

decisive victory in kansas. strategic will you kli he moved away from the social, strategically moved away from the social issues? >> they have to look behind the numbers. 227,000 jobs, but what kind of jobs are they? are they part-time jobs? a lot of our corporate clients are saying we have downsize. there are so many folks that are underemployed. they have part-time jobs, by the way, the unemployment rate is misconception, why? because unemployment rate are the folks collecting unemployment benefits not the individuals that are unemployed. so you have 24 million which is third. entire work class that is outrageous. that is huge. >> it is good news that the economy is going in the right direction, however, unemployment is still unacceptably high at

8.3%. when you look at the minority community, with black individuals, it's almost double that of whites at 14%. if you look at the hispanic community it's over 10%. we need our jobs to accelerate and grow, but unfortunately there is uncertainty in the market. when you look at obama's policy like obamacare, 2013, tax rates are supposed to go back and then also we have high energy costs that we have in the country and gas prices. >> heather: 37 months ago president obama did promise that the unemployment rate would be below 8%. then we have the big government stimulus program. >> it very might be. john zandy, chief economist at moody's it may be below 8% by the time november rolls around. >> you guys are taking stimulus

they have record compensation for executives. oil prices keep going up. >> we the taxpayers are subsidizing them. sometimes they hit oil wells and sometimes they don't. julie -- >> so they are talking about, we are talking about $110,000 car. >> i'm not defending this because it seems to be a huge mess. if you want to move to greener economy. eventually you might not believe. >> but it can't be replaced by green economy. >> 99% believe in global warming but the bottom line is this. if you want to believe toward moving a greener economy and replacing fossil fuels with green energy, sometimes it's going to work out and sometimes they do not. >> they need to make better

they let kids get away with murder. but jet blue should have had more patience. they do have faa rules unless the kids are seated in seat belts. who knows how long it was going on for. if it was going on for three hours. >> i think jet blue was wrong with this. i've been in situations where kids are crying on the planes. it happens, but parents have to prepare, maybe have the child sleep if they can on the flight or have toys to keep them occupied. it does happen. it's unfortunate but i don't agree with what jet blue did. >> heather: you think they went too far on this one. >> $2,000 is a lot of money to spend overnight. >> tarmac was on 12 hours at j.f.k. or somewhere. >> heather: we have a little

extra time. spins you brought this up, airlines have been dealing this across the board. even when you go down to all the extra fees that passengers are having to pay right now. airlines to have think about the p.r. with every type of situation right now. >> and overnight stay, you could have a little more patience, another few more minutes the child would have been okay. mother holding the baby down, i feel bad for the mother. those of us, who are not parents. you are sitting there. >> should they have offered the family a free flight? it will be interesting to see after the fact if they will do something in retrospect. >> they should do something. >> heather: alec baldwin playing it. >> that would have been interesting. if he had been on the flight

a fox news alert. police in washington state arresting a dangerous suspect. hello, i'm heather childers and welcome to a brand new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> i'm governor reagan jarrett. top of the news, a man wanted tore it -- i'm gregg jarrett. >> casey stegall is live from the los angeles newsroom with a developing story. hi, casey. >> reporter: a lot of twists and turns. arrest happening a very short time ago. fox news channel has confirmed that with authorities up in washington state. the arrest happening in olympia, washington which, of course, is the state capital and about 40 miles or so east of where the incident happened.

the attack itself happened in in montesano. you can see on the map there, 90 miles or so southwest of seattle. 34-year-old steven kravitz arrested and taken into custody and they had also been searching for his mother as well where you see her picture next to his. reports that the 34-year-old called his mom to pick him up from the shooting scene yesterday. but authorities now telling us that it was his mother who notified police today of her son's whereabouts. now, we still do not know what he was doing at that courthouse yesterday. eyewitnesses say he got into some kind of argument with a sheriff's deputy, stabbed her with what is believed to be a pair of scissors and then a judge tried to intervene. he picks up the story from there. >> got away from the deputy and

went pop, pop and turned and looked at me and went out of the courthouse with the gun in his hand. he needs to arrested. the last time i saw him he left the courthouse with a gun in his hand. >> the arrest happening just moments ago. the deputy was shot in the shoulder. judge david edwards was also injured. he was stabbed. according to the associated press this judge had recently joined a lawsuit filed over county budget cuts. cuts he and others say was making that very courthouse unsafe. the judge and the deputy were treated and released from the hospital. fortunately, no serious injuries and again, just to update you, the suspect 34-year-old steven kravitz has now been arrested and taken into custody without incident. >> we are glad for that. casey stegall live for us in california. thank you. >> caucus goers have spoken in the state of kansas and made

their choice as to which republican candidate they want to see face president obama in the general election. rick santorum the overwhelming winner. kansans giving him a large share of the state's 40 delegates to the republican national convention. alicia acuna live in kansas. not really a surprise in kansas, is it? >> no, it is not. kansas is often referred to as one of the most if not the most conservative state in the country. i talked to rick santorum about what happened here and he said he was happy about it. here is more. will. >> i think it shows that people are looking for someone who reflects their values and can win. and that is the real combination here and that the more people look at this race when they see someone like governor romney who who is increasingly hard to tell the difference on some of the

biggest issues of the day particularly obama care between governor romney and the president. >> reporter: santorum also took time to criticize the two competitors, mitt romney and newt gingrich for not coming to kansas to campaign and instead moving ton focus on the southern states for their primaries on tuesday. however, rick santorum has been to kansas, mississippi and alabama. gregg, back to you. >> what is next for the candidates and where are they really trying to focus their energies, alicia? >> right now try to focus their energies on the south. kind of a must-win they all say at one time or another. romney does have some celebrating to do because of wins that he made overnight in u.s. territories on the islands of the northern marianna islands and guam where they decided to do away with the paper ballots and raised their hands and counted the 215 eligible voters. he will get 18 delegates from that. romney is also doing well in

wyoming. we can take a look at the caucuses there tonight. the big challenge the primaries on tuesday. he called, alabama, and mississippi an away game for him and his own staffer called him the underdog in reference to gingrich's supposed strength in the south. gingrich called the two states must-wins but is now again saying he will stay in the race no matter what the outcomes. today in alabama he continued his attack on the president over gas prices. take a listen. >> to think we could get back to a lower price is not irrational. but we have a problem. we have a president who believes in expensive gasoline. >> reporter: now, ron paul, gregg, also spent time here in kansas. he was in a few of the different cities here. he said he wasn't keeping track of a specific number of delegates for himself. >> say hello to all of my friends in kansas. >> i will do that. >> it is all about the delegate count as we know.

here is where the candidates stand so far. as of this hour, mitt romney a total of 441 delegates. rick santorum holding on to second place with 213. newt gingrich third with 107. and ron paul rounds it all out with 46. and remember, it takes 1,144 delegates to secure the nomination. >> and for more on the race for the republican nomination we invite you to go to fox news .com/politics. you will get the latest info on all of the candidates and be sure to tune in to "fox news sunday." newt gingrich will sit down one on one with anchor chris wallace. "fox news sunday" airs tomorrow. check your local listings. now, to syria where new fighting is erupting today. government troops launching new assaults on several rebel-held areas. this as u.s. envoy, u.n. envoy kofi annan a meeting with the syrian embattled president,

putting a peace proposal on the table in front of him, trying to find a solution to the country's deadly year-long uprising. doug mcelway joins us live from washington with more. hi, doug. >> reporter: the horror stories coming out of syria get worse by the day. reports that as many as 3,000 refugees have fled into lebanon from syria even amid reports that the forces are shelling a bridge that those refugees have to cross t to enter lebanon. most of the fighting happening in area far removed from western media. stories of rape, torture and shelling of civilian areas by assad's soldiers abound. it is in that context that the u.n. secretary general met with assad. the talks were productive but few details have been given. assad said no progress could be made as long as armed terrorist

groups continue to spread andarchy. russia remains opposed to any military intervention by the west. >> so we are in favor of as i said the approach which would be driven by the urgent need to stop violence, to deliver humanitarian assistance and to start the political dialogue. >> the obama administration also resisting calls for military aid to the rebels or drone strikes to stop the bloodhead by assad's forces. >> the president feels strongly that we should continue the international pressure against syria because we think that it is having a significant impact on assad and is weakening his regime and that that is the way to go. >> many in congress are calling for a more active u.s. role

claiming that the obama administration is using some what of a double standard here, launching drone attacks and military assistance in libya while so far refusing to do the same in syria. doug, thanks very much. >> sure thing. the controversy over monitoring muslims in new york city is spilling across the river into new jersey. the head of the newark police department insists that it was not working with new york on surveillance in his city. all started with news that the nypd program to keep an eye on american muslims and now muslim groups are demanding a closer look. anna live in the new york city newsroom with more. hi, anna. >> groups representing over 65 muslim organizations have asked for the new york police department to stop their secret surveillance and to support calls for an investigation into the practice. some protesters believe law enforcement is spying on them because they are antiislam. on the other hand, top brass with the nypd say this is the most effective way to fight

terrorism. the 2007 reportedly involving photographing mosques, eves dropping on muslim businesses and monitoring muslim student groups. the obama administration has remained mum on the stance on the issue. the attorney general eric holder said he is disturbed of what he heard. others say it may discourage muslims to contact law enforcement when they hear of particular issues. be one muslim american group says they do not take issue with the surveillance. >> this isn't antimuslim. the nypd are doing public surveillance. there is no case evidence that they violated any laws. we will be the first groups to want them to be published if they violated any laws but there hasn't been one case and yet look at the narrative coming out. >> the new york police commissioner met with muslim leaders twice this week to repair relations saying they

did not break any laws and the intelligence gathering is necessary after muslim extremists attacked on september 11th. new york mayor michael bloomberg has shown his support for the nypd but wants to make sure nobody's personal liberties are sacrificed in the process. heather, back to you. and the investigation will kin. anna live in the new york city newsroom. thank you, anna. occupy wall street in new york city is running low on cash these days. a report on the group's website saying they could be out of money in a matter of three weeks. now, the document also showing donations are plummeting to about $1,600 a week just six weeks ago, though, the occupy organization in new york had about $45,000 left in its main account. the group did not comment on that report. heavy rain forecast across portions of texas and the south and the pacific northwest. and take a look at this.

an unusually stormy week in hawaii. they are picking up the pieces after a waterspout jumped ashore. this is at lana kai beach where it became a tornado and flattened several homes. >> blew that piece of metal from our neighbor's roof and wrapped it around the coconut tree and demolished we had two sheds here and just flattened both of them. >> the whole street was covered with debris. and my neighbor's roof was in my front yard and other people's tarps were over here hanging out of trees. >> it has been stormy across so many portions of the united states. weather officials say that this by the way the first tornado in four years to hit the islands. meteorologist maria molina is live in the fox extreme weather center with more. >> you're right, it is unusual to get a tornado in hawaii and typically on average you could see one tornado per year across hawaii and we did pick up quite a bit of rainfall over the past week over seven days.

a rainfall totals out there. basically ending on friday we saw over 40 inches of rain over parts of the islands which is unusual stuff out there and very stormy. the heaviest of the rain is now over for the islands but looking at another concern because there still is stormy conditions. easterly winds gusting up to 30 to 40 miles per hour through tonight. a number of wind advisories for the island chains and rough surf up to ten feet along eastern facing shores basically through sunday. any one vacationing out here needs to be safe and if you get in the water keep in mind there are strong rip currents out there so that will be another big concern. across the lower 48 stormy conditions as well with an area of low pressure out across parts of southern, texas, pumping in quite a lot of of moisture out of the gulf of mexico northward. heavy rain around dallas and austin. drive carefully out here. and coming down quite heavily right now. rainfall totals between 2 to

3 inches of rain possible out here. of course, watch out for flash flooding concerns. you can see the forecast calls for over 20 inches of rain in the city of tyler texas through monday. kicking off the workweek a little unsettled. some of the rainfall could come in the form of severe thunderstorms including arkansas, northern louisiana and northeastern, texas, with large hill, tajing wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. this is something that we want to take seriously. aside from flooding could be looking at severe weather. head is up if you live in shreveport and little rock. heading into your sunday it will be stormy out there. another big story how mild it has been this winter across the lower 48. spring like conditions across parts of the northeast and temperatures well above average across the upper midwest. the warm air across the dakotas and minnesota. here in new york city while we saw a chilly day today, tomorrow will be warmer with our high temperature reaching 60 degrees and guys that is the

way it is going to stay for the next several days. get out and enjoy it. beautiful weather with some sunshine in store forus. westward some of the warm temperatures as well for chicago, mississippi. 67 degrees the high temperature tomorrow in rapid city. >> 82 tampa. look at that. >> as long as it sticks around for a little bit. >> l.a. 59. that is all? >> we will be warmer than them. too bad, west coast. >> can't believe it. >> last week it warmed up on thursday and immediately after thursday went back down. needs to stick around a little bit. >> and like an idiot i thought it was going to last so i left without a coat today so i'm freezing. >> should have watched maria. >> should have sent me an e-mail. >> i will check in with maria from now on every day. expect a phone call from me. >> got it. >> spring is almost here and that means longer days. are you ready for this? >> i'm so not ready for in. >> really? >> spring forward, fall back. >> i'm very excited about the prospects here. >> you are? >> i grew up in los angeles.

i just love warm weather. >> yeah. no, i'm ready for the warm weather. not ready for having one less hour of sleep. >> this is onset of the warm weather here. >> i'm talking about the sleep. >> tonight we begin daylight saving time 2:00 a.m. push your clocks forward one hour in most parts of the country. as you mentioned spring forward, fall back. we lose an hour of sleep, right. it is probably a good idea to do it tonight before you go to bed because you don't want to show up late to church tomorrow. >> exactly. >> or anyplace else. >> thanks for the reminder. appreciate it. >> yes. a dramatic rescue effort off the coast of sicily coming up after a tanker ship ran aground in stormy seas. what made it so challenging for everyone involved. we will talk about that, wow. and despite some weak showings in recent contests, mitt romney remains the frontrunner to win the republican nomination. why some political analysts say the national mood could help him present a serious challenge to president obama in the fall. we'll talk about it. the droid razr by motorola,

welcome back. a look at today's top stories.

afghan officials say five taliban prisoners at guantanamo bay have agreed to be transferred. they are scheduled to move to qatar in the persian gulf. the transfer viewed as an incentive to bring the taliban to peace talks. air strikes in yemen killing 18 militants with ties to al-qaeda. the strikes in retaliation for an attack last week by al-qaeda which killed almost 200 soldiers. and an italian tanker ship ran aground. there is the video. in storm. >> waters off the coast of sicily. helicopters plucking the crew to safety but the ship's position makes it almost impossible to lower life boats. despite losing today in kansas, mitt romney remains the frontrunner to win the republican presidential nomination and while some in the gop fear possibly that he would be a weak challenger to

president obama, a recent "wall street journal" poll shows that the majority of americans currently believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. so, could that help propel romney to the oval office this fall? joining us is phil musser, the president of new frontier strategy and former executive director of the republican governor's association and democratic national committee member debbie dingel former president of vice president al gore's campaign in michigan back in 2000. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. the point being the perception that romney is a weak challenger does in fact have some precedence, right, in the spring of 1980, ronald reagan was neck and neck with president jimmy carter, george w. bush at this stage in 1998 fighting off comparisons to regan. bill clinton also during his nomination process dealing with critics charging him with womanizing, dodging the draft. all of them, though, eventually won their general election.

can romney do the same? phil, i will start with you. >> sure. you know, heather, the reality is we are having a little bit of a family food fight in the republican party and the atmospherics haven't been great. the reality i think is that mit is going to be our nominee. he won two contests today and will pick up more delegates in kansas. impossible to handicap where we will be in october as we sit here in march and your points historically for the viewing audience are really germane. if you look at the closing months of this campaign whether it was 1976 or 1980 or 2000, our country is a pretty closely divided country and likely a margin of error race after we have the nominating convention in tampa and then romney has to go forward and make the argument on the economy, talk about an energy policy and talk about the expansion of government and i think he is going to be in a very, very strong position to defeat obama because no president has been in his position which is reelected with the unemployment rate over 7'" .4% in the

history of our country. >> calling my points germane but i will let you do that for the time. to say this has been a rollercoaster so far at the very least. can romney take the momentum to build all the way to the white house. what do you think? >> i think this will be a competitive election year. when you look at the amount of money spent on super pacs and a recovering economy but one that is not as strong as we would like to see going in the right direction we have to be pragmatic. yes, this is going to be a competitive race. what surprised me and many other democrats is mitt romney's weakness and certainly surprised at how strong he wasn't in michigan and could have been far stronger even discussing the auto issues. he had to move far to the right to please a lot of tea party members when has to be a moderate to win in november. >> we mentioned this poll, phil, earlier in the

introduction. the economy is turning around. we are very glad about that. employers added more than 200,000 workers to payrolls, third straight month in february. but in the recent poll the "wall street journal" poll americans think by a two to one margin that the country is headed in the wrong direction. several polls finally half or fewer approve of the way the president is doing his job. can romney take advantage of that and should he really focus on that, phil? >> absolutely. you can't win an ultra-- ultimately this election will be a referendum on barack obama's four years as president and so governor romney has got to point out the short comings of the administration but also paint an optimistic positive path forward for the country. in a terrific position to do it and has an incredible history in the private sector. an outsider who isn't part of washington. has a strong progrowth jobs plan. he has a domestic energy policy different than barack obama's. as president obama blocks the

keystone pipeline, romney will sign it. as it relates to healthcare, president obama has overseen some of the largest expansion of intrusion of government into personal people's lives and romney will repeal it. there will be clear faultlines. debbie is right it will be a close election one way or another and teak a little while before the clarity takes place. >> debbie, as the democrat on the panel today. handle this for me. jobless rate did hold at a three year low but the president promised as we mentioned in our first hour, 37 months ago that he would push the jobless rate below 8% with that massive government stimulus program. that hasn't happened. and the economy would in fact need to generate 170,000 jobs per month to push that unemployment rate below 8% by the time voters go to the polls in november. so if that does not happen, how does the president handle that? >> well, the economy is going in the right direction. unemployment is going in the right direction. look at what happened with the

domestic auto industry. one of the things that surprised me was how much mitt romney kept defending let detroit go bankrupt two years ago and never talked about the fact isn't it great that the domestic auto industry is doing better and 200,000 jobs added and all three companies are starting to run three shifts. barack obama is working to h help all americans get jobs. he is working, the economy is going in the right direction. he is talking a lot more positively than mitt romney is. >> we will see if it is enough for americans still looking for a job in november. thank you both so much for joining us. we appreciate your insight today. thank you. >> thanks, health. heather. >> a new video of a heated new jersey town hall. governor chris christie getting into it with a rutgers university law student. always a bad student. the student outraged over new education plans shouting the governor down and then this

happened. >> better university if you decide what you want to do is put on a show today let me tell you something i can go back and forth with you as much as you want. and let me tell you something, after you graduate from law school you conduct yourself like that in the courtroom your rear end is going to get thrown in jail, idiot. >> i tried to be patient with the guy. every time i tried to answer he started yelling over me again. damn, man, i'm governor, could you just shut up for a second. >> you know, that never gets old. police escorted the man outside and then offered him to allow him to return to the meeting. he declined. >> wow. >> say what you will about chris christie and his politics, whatever. he is authentic. >> absolutely. >> kind of says the stuff that all of us want to say, right? >> and we were talking about this earlier. he as a possible vice presidential candidate possibly paired with romney, what would that mean? >> i think it would probably give romney a boost. you know, romney is always accused of being sort of socially awkward.

i mean this is a guy who is sort of the true authentic, new jersey american, you know. >> he was some where and he was saying we are going to bring some new jersey to you or something like that he said. go jersey on you. the opposite of romney. >> we will go new jersey, it on you. >> a woman sitting behind bars charged with running a high class prostitution ring. >> allegedly made millions of dollars. an amazing story. >> and is there something out there, a mysterious flash of light. could it be a ufo? find out where it happened. oooo-oooo on oo ♪ sorry.

welcome back. bottom of the hour, time for top of the news. rick santorum winning the republican presidential caucuses in kansas with mitt romney coming in second followed by newt gingrich and ron paul. meanwhile, romney is leading so far in the wyoming caucuses. results continue to trickle in. and still away head in the delegate count. government forces in syria unleashing a new wave of deadly violence. the attacks coming as kofi annan is meeting with syrian's president. police in washington state busting a dangerous suggs sect. a man wanted for stabbing a judge and a deputy and shooting the deputy with her own gun. tomorrow will mark one year

since the earthquake and tsunami ravaged parts of japan and triggered a nuclear meltdown and the disasters had a profound effect on those who lived through them. david piper is streaming live for us from northeast japan. david? >> it is already march 11 here in japan and the people of this country are remembering the dead. an estimated 16,000 people died and another 3,000 are still unaccounted for. and in this town of minamisanriku, nearly 900 people perished when the tsunami swept through here. the building behind me there was a woman calling out. she stayed at her post and also perished and there is a shrine to record her heroism. so many tales to tell along the coastline. we went to one school where

scores of students perished. life and death decisions were made at this school at minamisanriku city where some people escaped while rushing up over here. teachers waited over 50 minutes before deciding what to do. they decided to go to higher ground at a bridge nearby but when the tsunami came down this valley only four of the children survived. a mother of one of the children couldn't wait for the emergency services and decided to look for the body of her child h herself. >> i wanted to do something rather than just watch the search. so i took the heavy digger's license and began to help. fishermen found my daughter's body. >> while some people here say the school should remain as a memorial naomi says it should be demolished. >> the lady i spoke to said she wants the school demolly

henneberg escheed because it just holds bad memories. back to you, heather. >> one year ago. thank you very much, david piper streaming live for us. thank you. new york's timothy cardinal dolan is now responding to a request by the white house that america's catholic bishops listen to liberal catholics like the editors of american magazine when it comes to the issue of insurance mandates for prescription birth control. here is liz trotta. author and fox news contributor. >> as you know, cardinal dolan is the president of the national conference of catholic bishops and on the frontlines in this fight with the white house. he has a blog, a spicy blog and there was a posting recently in which he called the white house out and particularly for its alliance with complications with small -- publications with

small circulation magazines. a far left leaning magazine and does not often dove tail with orthodox catholic doctrine. dolan took them on in his blog and it was highly unusual and demonstrates how committed the catholic hierarchy is to stopping the obama mandate for precondoms and abortion and sterilization medicines. here is what he wrote. a recent meated between the staff of the bishop's conference and the white house staff ended with the president's people informing us we should listen to the enlightened voices of accommodation such as the recent editor in america. the white house seems to think we bishops are hopelessly out of touch with our people. a real bulls eye on america and

really only part of a long story with american magazine. it was founded in 1909 and i think this was long before it took on its anticatholic if i may say mantle. has disagreed with the church for all kinds of issues including priestly celibacy and homosexually. the editor in chief was fired reesrecently. got to guy for the liberal mainstream media. every time you see a story about the catholic church for women priest or celibacy cue father reese because you will get far liberal and unorthodox opinion. >> right. now, listen, you referred to free condoms. nothing is free, liz. i mean people pay for their health insurance.

so that is included in their health insurance, is it not? >> that is the argument. >> isn't that a misnomer. >> but that was part, i mean for the purposes of discussion and that is what the white house in its quote, unquote accommodation trying to roll the bishops may i say. >> right. >> tried to say free condoms. nothing is free. the church would wind up paying for it any howe but let's not forget the abortion and sterilization part of this either. what the struggle really is about, greg, is a fight for catholic identity and for the church to stand down and say look this is who we are. do you think that this ad it is time to consider quitting the catholic church, full page ad in the new york times by a bunch of atheists would have come out if there wasn't this fight that the democrats call a war on women but it is really a war on the catholic church.

>> and sandra club pluck, whato you make of her testimony? >> definitely one of nancy pelosi's operatives. in marched nancy pelosi and marched right to the communion rail. there were more than one catholic in this church horrified by this performance. >> i did read an editorial in the "l. a. times." fluke's testimony focused on the fact that contraceptives, the particularly the pill can have medical uses even life saving ones that have nothing to do with the number of babies brought into the world. >> they are really up against the wall now aren't they. they always resort to the women's health arguments. this is about morality is what this fight is about and also about religious liberty more than anything else all kinds of people from other churches christian, jewish, have marched in on this thing and said no,

we are behind the catholics on this one. >> right. >> so it is going to be interesting. i think timothy dolan is going to be very much on the firing line and as for america magazine who fired their editor in chief had to fire their editor in chief in 2005, they ought to look deep into their souls. i mean their editorial this past week on this whole issue said oh, well, this is a matter of catholic policy not doctrine. well, you know, they used to be called people who reasoned. so they are still doing it. >> i am not a catholic so cannot weigh in on such matters. liz thank you very much for being with us with your commentary as always. thank you. she claims to be an ordinary mom but prosecutors say she is the brains behind a high classed prostitution ring here in new york city. judge jeanine pirro takes the case, up next. >> is that a soccer mom right

hang on to your hat. this next story is causing a scandal in the city you might think could be immune to this kind of thing. talking about a suburban soccer mom accused of running a, well, a high class prostitution ring on manhattan's east side. 78th street. a stone's throw from where i used to live. i had no idea. let's bring in judge jeanine pirro, host of "justice" with judge jeanine. this is a five year long investigation which i find really amazing over sex. >> gregg, you are a smart guy. five year investigation for a class d felony. >> i know. something else going on. >> why listen in on wiretaps for five years and by the way the whole idea of her being a madame and she may well be. as someone who ran a d.a. office you have to wonder why use all the resources for a class d felony.

>> and it wasn't even eliot spitzer either. >> but here is the thing. if you believe what she says in the latest interview she said they tried to break me down and brought in prosecutors and investigators one after another to find out whether or not these ten power brokers whether or not i knew them and had serviced them or arranged for services. >> talking about bankers, wall street execs, new york big wigs, what? >> big wigs, politicians. the supreme court justices said we investigate crimes not people and for the d.a. office to come in and say if it is true we want to know about this guy, this guy and this buy it. think about it greg, the most they can charge these guys with is a class a misdemeanor which gets us into the equality issue where the woman running the joint gets a d felony and the guys buying from the prostitute are charged with an a misdemeanor. what is this about? there is more to this as sure as i'm sitting here and why would a judge set bail at

$2 million? >> that is amazing. >> i was a judge, too. you have a woman with no prior criminal record. >> for a sex crime. it million dollars for a sex crime? >> what is going on. who is in the black book? she sent a message when she said i'll bite my tongue off before i release the names. she is saying to the guys out there and by the way she is admitting she knows some of them. by the way, be honey bunch, you are a soccer mom, how do you know these masters of the universe? are you admiting that you ran this operation. >> her defense is i was negotiating real estate deals and helping them with other projects. >> real estate of real property or chattel or people. >> personal property i'm kind of thinking. >> the other thing that makes no sense is they say that she was using underaged prostitutes. excuse me, that is rape. when you use an underage we are talking rape. why isn't she charged with facilitating rapes of underaged girls. >> they could upgrade. >> there is more going on here.

>> you will have more on your program tonight. >> we will talk about this and talk about the issues relating to google and the fact that they are involved in wiretapping possibly some of your conversations. >> google. oh, my goodness they are listening to my inocuous conversations. catch "justice" with judge jeanine at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here. i habe a cohd. i toog nyguil bud i'm stild stubbed up.

the republican candidates now shifting their attention to the south. two big primaries on tuesday. one of them in alabama, and right now the real clear politics polling average shows mitt romney leading in alabama. but by a scant two points. the latest rasmussen poll shows a tight race and this time newt gingrich leads the pack. joining us is scott ros rasmus. >> hard to imagine a race closer with three candidates within two points of each other. that is what we have in alabama. that is great news if your name is mitt romney who is not supposed to be as strong in the south and for rick santorum and newt gingrich they have to win both of these states if they want to stay relevant in the race and has to be a nerve wracking time. >> you asked some of the voter in alabama what is the most important quality you want in a candidate. what did you find? >> 55% in alabama said the most

important quality they are looking for is someone who can beat barack obama. 39% said they really want someone who can represent republican values and, of course, in reality they hope that those two things can be found in the same candidate. what this sends a message is, though, is electability is most important but whoever wins the nomination there will be a lot of people watching to see how they represent southern values. >> two southern states in play there. for gingrich and santorum, important for both of them. the next up is mississippi tuesday. >> in mississippi, mitt romney recently endorsed by the governor now has an 8-point lead. if he were to win this this it just further pads the perception that he is likely to be the nominee he. are this will be a big win for governor romney in a southern state, again, a place he is not expected to do terribly well. >> also in mississippi you found that and we will put this up on the screen romney is

apparently in the minds of the voters there the strongest against president obama. why is that? is that because he has a greater appeal as an allege the moderate to swing voters and independents, scott? >> it may be because pol pollig has been showing him doing better than the other candidates in matchups with the president. santorum and gingrich supporters would probably say it is because the media has been saying that for so long the voters begin to believe it. we know that the numbers in mississippi are softer for romney than they are throughout the country. we know that because of this issue which is the most important to republican voters romney is expected to be the nominee by 8 out of 10 republican primary voters. >> scott many thanks. fas captioned by closed captioning services, inc. emily went right on living.
