10:01 am
only maximum security detention facility for the u.s. military. the decorated soldier, who has on his fourth deployment, arriving on u.s. soil last night at the kansas city international airport. about an hour away from fort leavenworth. much of what we know about him has come from his lawyer. john henry brown, who says bail, married with two young children and said his client witness a fellow soldier's leg being blown off one day before he allegedly carried out the massacre and upset over being redeployed having done three previous duties in iraq, and lost part of his foot from an injury on the battlefield. those who knew him, always under the impression he was proud to serve his country and he has been in the u.s. army for 11 years. >> you know, he always, he
10:02 am
always had a good attitude about being in the service. he was never really angry about it, or he seemed pretty, when i heard him talk, he seemed just like, yeah, that's my job, you know, what i do. >> top military officials say last weekend, robert bails walked off base in southern afghanistan, around 3 a.m., in an n.a.t.o. forces uniform, and executed 16 innocent afghan civilians sleeping in nearby villages and set their bodies on fire. and most of the victims were women and children and the incident has forced president barack obama to defend this country's role and force in the war torn region. president karzai says he's at the end of his rope and suggested that he did not act
10:03 am
alone. and leon panetta, says he could face the death penalty. we have crews on the ground. if there are press availability or lawyers are talking, we'll monitor that closely. >> kelly: looking forward to your update on that. casey stegall. >> meanwhile, president hamid karzai blasting the government, accusing the u.s. of stonewalling. and also, refusing to cooperate with afghan counterparts, he said. karzai calls for u.s. and n.a.t.o. troops to stay on major bases and that that would undermine the current strategy, according to the white house, karzai reaffirmed, the the u.s. troop presence in afghanistan through 2014, despite calls for an earlier with tradrawalwi i'll have a lot more with this. >> and the new york times reporting secretary leon
10:04 am
panetta was at risk during his recent trip to afghanistan. an interpreter in a truck reportedly tried to run down a u.s. commander and deputy. the afghan driving into the ditch as the plane arrived. one military official told the times if the attack occurred five minutes later, mr. panetta, would have been on the tarmac as the truck raced through. >> turning now to the race for the white house. voting in the missouri caucuses is now underway, but mitt romney shifting the focus to puerto rico says that shifting the u.s. commonwealth ahead of the primary. calling out rick santorum over comments that puerto rico adapted english as an official language. >> as you know, english has been an official language and for your governor, spanish is
10:05 am
the language of your puerto rican heritage and english is the language of opportunity and hope that young people learn both languages. >> rick santorum is the only g.o.p. candidate campaigning across missouri and insisting that that race is still anybody's game. >> here we are, in a race, and we look at the the national polls and it's very, very close, between governor romney and myself and even president obama and the race is far, far from over, to the general elections or the primary election. >> the next big stop on the campaign trail is illinois. the latest real clear politics showing mitt romney with the lead. and santorum trailing behind, and you can see gingrich and paul. and the primary is coming up on tuesday night only on the fox news channel, kelly. >> kelly: and one other on the
10:06 am
campaign trail, soaring gas prices and focusing the fire on president obama and his policies. but the president insists, that most of the factors causing high gas prices are beyond his control. and live in washington now with more details, doug, good to see you, what's happening? >> afternoon, kelly, rising gas prices, rising tempers and hot rhetoric. you can take a look at the latest graphic and shows how much gas prices have risen. up an average of 31 cents a gallon and now, at 2.81 per gallon an average. in the president's weekly radio address, he reiterated, all of the above energy policy and defended the administration's fossil fuel record under his administration, the u.s. is producing more oil than at any time in the last eight years. >> you can't just rely on drilling. and not when we use more than 20% of the world's oil. but still only had 2% of the known oil reserves, if we
10:07 am
don't develop hother sources of energy. we'll continue to be dependent on foreign countries for our energy needs. >> we may consume 20% of the world's oil, yet, our g.o.p. is 25% of the world's gdp so you expect that much gdp to need that much oil in order to lubricate the economy the world's largest economy. and in the g.o.p. response to the president's weekly address. the representative honed in on the political liability for the president of the rising gas prices. people in my district, and around the country are fed up with the way the president is handling this issue. and rightfully so. the most forceful thing the president has done about high gas prices is try to explain that he's against them. >> by contrast the president said today in his address, after three days of inaction,
10:08 am
the raised fuel economy standards so the middle of the next decade. cars will average 65 miles per gallon, kelly. >> kelly: that doesn't help right now though. doug, thank you very much. >> what impact does high gas prices have on the president's reelection. christopher hahn, a former aid to chuck schumer. and angela mcglowan joining us. guys. so the president's weekly address, this is basically what he said. there isn't a quick fix as you just heard when it comes to stopping gas prices from rising. and any career politician to promises some three-point plan for $2 gas, they're not looking for solutions, they're looking for-- we know who that was meant for? is he right, angela, i i think i know your answers, but-- >> and that person would be newt gingrich. >> yes. >> look, there is no quick fix and the president keeps saying that there's no silver bullet.
10:09 am
i think the magic bullet for republicans is the fact that gas prices are increasing, and when people go to the polls in november, they're going to vote their pocket books and their wallets. the right now with the economy being the way that it is, people cannot afford more increasing gas prices. >> chris, what do you think? >> well, listen, she's right. people vote their pocket book and gas price is a big issue, i don't think the president has a whole lot to do with it. i hope all of the republicans running around saying that the president is to blame for this, when the gas prices go down in september and they will go down in september, i hope they give him credit for that, even though he doesn't deserve the blame for the credit. but, chris. >> voters will take it out on him, one way or the other. and absolutely right. newt gingrich has no plan and. >> chris. >> he's going to war. >> the bottom line, this president does not have a clear energy policy and when
10:10 am
you have secretary chu, stay before a committee he's not concerned about the rise in gas prices, that that's not the administration's goal, in 2008 he said that he wants gas prices to be the level in europe. who says that? bottom line, this president is not having any type of energy policy and what could have fixed the problem, drilling in anwar and other things, the president hasn't done. >> very quickly, i want to-- >> angela, if people, if people are voting on secretary chus statement and people know who secretary chu is in the public. i'd be surprised and what he said is no he bearing on the role as energy secretary. >> yes, it does. >> and the job is to have new sources. >> i want to jump in here fast, guys. >> a new york times poll today. ment headline was price of gas matters to voters, but doesn't sway votes. whenever you do the polls, and
10:11 am
the polls, one poll says approval is 49% other is 43%, but, again, you both have said that there is an importance to this when it comes to whether or not people get out their polls. will it be people on the republican said saying, no, we don't want obama or supporting obama saying it's not his fault. what is resonating with the people out there in america listening to this. >> so liberals would like for you to think that it's the war on women. that's the message that they're trying to put out there. at the end of the day, in mississippi, alabama, louisiana, some of your southern states, they care about gas prices, inned mitt west, they care about gas prices and that's going to be on their mind when they go in. the jobless number, foreclosures and gas prices. >> chris? >> well, listen, i think that gas prices matter and they will matter in swing states and the war on women is coming to a swing state near you, passing a trans vaginal
10:12 am
ultrasound bill. and close your eyes and i think that's despicable. angela write this down, 3.15 a gallon or less come september if we don't go to war with iran. >> a little wagering going on. angela, what do you think is going to happen. thinking of gas prices, they always skyrocket. >> and christopher, write this down. every time gas prices go up 1 cent. takes 1.4 billion dollars from the economy. and the president does not have any type of energy policy and i think, even in september. if gas prices go down, the damage would have been done. >> the average price per gallon in this country is 3.83. and 30 cents more than a month ago. we don't like it. and who knows what we can do about it. okay, we're going to be listening to the candidates and they seem to have some ideas or maybe they don't. guys, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us. >> good slogans. >>
10:13 am
(laughter) >> that's debatable. >> kelly: chris and angela on their a-game. i'm still writing it down. and the gas prices not only thing, almost taking a toll on the economy. skyrocketing fuel costs means from everything from the cost of food and your bottom line. >> the president is kicking fund raising efforts into high gear and he's been doing that for a while. what his g.o.p. rivals are saying about it. >> kelly: plus, actor george clooney, in d.c. the superstar's dramatic stand for a cause dear to haste heart and all the details next. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy.

he was appealing his conviction as a prison camp guard. and actor george clooney is now a freeman. clooney was arrested yesterday at a protest against the sudanese government outside their embassy in washington and juliet, obviously, happy that he's free. (laughter) >> not going to win this race because we're going to spend more money than barack obama is. we're not going to be able to out spend our opponent in the general election, we're being outspent 10-1 on television in illinois. and i still think we have a chance of winning illinois even though we're being outspent. >> and rick santorum, looking at the challenges. and yesterday the president
10:19 am
attended fundraisers in two states and tickets cost more than $10,000 apiece. and peter doocy is live in washington. hello. >> yeah, hello, the president had two fundraisers in chicago and flew to atlanta for more and hoped to raise 5 million dollars between the events, some for big crowds and some for small crowds and one with oprah, gayle king and tyler perry and at one point the president came out and knocked his republican rivals. >> the philosophy is simple. everybody left to fend for himself. if those in power can make their own rules, somehow, it's all going to trickle down to you. and they are he' wrong. >> the president is racing a lot on the road, but the campaign is spending more, a
10:20 am
burn rate of 158% in january which moo means they spent 17.7 million dollars and brought in 11.9 million and some perspective, during january of 2004. the president gush gush rate and mitt romney, he's got a burn rate of 289%, spending more than double what he raised and also spending a lot of time criticizing president obama. >> the idea that the president takes your money, and invests it in the people who helped in the campaign, with that solyndra or enter one or have is fisker or tesla. a political pay back of the the kind that distorts the way the market works and away entrepreneurs and innovators. >> the 17 minute documentary was playing on a big screen at at least one fundraiser.
10:21 am
and press secretary carney, he doesn't know if he's seen the film, but he thinks it's sue be superb. >> juliet: of considers, he does. maybe not a documentary, but a documentary style campaign ad. peter, good to see snu without a doubt, a target opened and operated in a business with a tough economy. as you can see on a dream, some business owners are able to meet the challenge. working hard and smart and relying on a thing called faith to achieve their dream. >> it's rush hour in the nation's capital. one of the busy and congested areas in the country. finding ways to get to and from work is in high demand. and commuter buses using to carry private workers to and from work, one company helping to meet the demand is wme,

(bike bell) >> welcome back. it's the top story of the day. the u.s. soldier at the center of a shooting massacre, back on american soil. and identified as army staff sergeant, who was decorated soldier, three tours in iraq and fourth tour in afghanistan
10:30 am
and allegedly walked off base and killing 16 afghan civilians. the latest of several mainly setbacks, including the accidental burning of korans, put in the u.s. and n.a.t.o. effort in jeopardy. what does all of this mean, however, for our troops in the field? joining me now, retired army general bob scales. on this particular topic, what does it mean for the u.s. troops already serving in harm's way and now that this accident occurred and allegedly been conducted by an american or acted on by the american soldier. what does it mean for our boys, our men and women there? >> frankly, kelly, it's a little too early to tell. what we do know is that the advise and assist mission, the u.s. afghan mission has been slowed because of the incidents. and we still don't know, for example, what is going to happen with the karzai government and we're looking across the border at the
10:31 am
pakistanis, supported the american people because of these incidents and as you suggested earlier, how much is left in the army and marine corps to carry out in the future. quite frankly, nobody knows. what is frustrating is na the u.s. command has done a marvellous job the last year, year and a half of trading the afghan army and getting it up to speed and couldn't possibly come at a worse time. what is our mission is afghanistan. remind people why we're there to begin with. >> there are two. the first and are most important, advice and assist, get the afghan army and national police up to speed to defend their country on their own as we begin to pull out. that mission is not complete. all of my sources tell me the afghan army has made great
10:32 am
strides and boy, i tell you, they have a long, long way to go. the other mission as you know counter terrorist mission and the night raids taking down the leadership in al-qaeda to free vent another 9/11 from occurring and the mission now is the first mission, which has been clearly damaged to some extent. as you know, trust is a vital part of this mission and trust that they both play into securing afghanistan from the insurgents or whoever might be there to cause harm to the process. and we have president karzai saying he wants the u.s. troops to trust now, is it fractured and can it be repaired? >> fractured to some extent.
10:33 am
i'll say at the lower level, the tactical level where the u.n. and afghan forces continue to fight together. i think the point exactly. what is questionable now, is how the karzai government steps up and recent statement by president karzai have really, sort of pushes the american military back, suggesting we should pull out of rural areas and transfer our prisons to the afghans, et cetera. created a lot of consternation among the senior leadership in afghanistan. i would suggest, at least at the personal tactical level, captain to captain. sergeant to sergeant. that level is pretty good. >> kelly: tell me from your perspective as a general and you're there, and what's likely going on right now in the wake of what happened, with the 16 people killed allegedly by a u.s. soldier. what are you telling your troops on the ground there who are there to serve the purpose of united states and to help the afghanistan people?
10:34 am
>> that's a great question and the answer that i've heard from my friends over there is basically steady on. the fact cal level where the u.s. and the afghan soldiers are working together every day to make the afghans better, the nice from company levels, and battalion level commanders, you have a mission, to do your mission. obviously, the soldiers are going to look over their shoulders more. but for the most part, in afghanistan, what he wants to do everywhere, that's to do his figures, get on with his mission. accomplish the mission and come home safely and unhurt. that hasn't changed after the incidents and been that way in our army for the last 225 years. >> general, as you know, there are still so many questions araising from this and only hope that the answers can be made soon in order to rectify a situation and bring some correction to what's going on with the fractured trust that we've talked about in repairing it. general bob scales, thank you
10:35 am
for your perspective. >> thank you, kelly. >> we're going to lighten some things up now. a festival of fire is heating up on the of streets of spain, celebrating the final days of winter with a spectacular fireworks display. an honor to st. joseph. amy kellogg, oh, my gosh, beautiful there. >> it is juliet. it's fire, it's figures, you can see you can see them behind me, the figures in the festival. the much larger than life put in different displays, some are bawdy and some are political. and it's the feast of st. joe he self on monday, and he is the patron saint of carpenters, juliet and this originated from a time when the carpenters used to welcome

10:37 am
now, set off one and the others slow. it used to be manual and quite something. the streets are lined with people day and night and turn out in valencia and women in the big flowing skirts and updo hair dos, and sparkling earrings and children and men in smocks and each neighborhood has the display that they spend something like $350,000 to construct and takes a better part of a year to do it and bring in artists all over to do it. papier-mache and wood and they take a lot of effort to assemble. they're done in pieces and put together the different parts of the city of valencia and also, in that video some beautiful street lights and competitions between fansiest lights and turn the place into a kaleidoscope. and the lights and sound, it's st. joseph and family and it's

in our economy? >> unfortunately, it's inflation and it's an unnecessary cost. so, money at that could be going into expanding production is going towards simply just trying to maintain it, trying to keep it up. i mean, it's unfortunate because it's the cost that doesn't have to be paid. one great example. take a look, position, at natural gas prices at ten year lows, thanks to a tech following called fracking. if that technology blocked from going forward, who knows how high it would be. and prices going up hurts the price in the long run. >> kelly: and it hurts, everybody when you're having to put so much money into your gas tank. and the slogan, i can't get over the hump, there's too much pain at the pump. it's working.
