>> yes. >> bring the party the together, probably a great idea, mentioning john mccain is that a good philosophy? >> it's a good idea, a good philosophy. if we look back in 2008, we had a process then and the party came together. will mitt romney need more than the republican party to defeat barack obama? yes. and he's the only candidate with newt gingrich and rick santorum comparing the three, that could defeat obama, why? he can pull the independent votes. and that's what's needed. >> dave: however, elliss, as you know, rick santorum often uses john mccain as the reason we should not nominate mitt romney. >> john mccain can symbolize so many things. >> dave: sure can. >> in the end the party can come together. and the people behind newt

gingrich and rick santorum, come on, they're not going to vote for barack obama. and do they mean it when they say i'll kind of support mitt romney. >> dave: how do you do that, and bring the party together when you've got so many on the far right who are social conservatives and want no problem for mitt romney. >> sure, that's a problem for mitt romney and understandable why he'd want the other candidates out of the field. but you have to think about this as a self-inflicted wound from the republican party. if they hadn't gone ahead and changed the rules of the nominating process, changing states from winner take all to proportional allocation, the the the contest would be over by now and party elders would be happier because they wouldn't have the party's dirty laundry aired about. >> mitt romney is a smart politician because right now behind the scenes, senior aides and surrogates are reaching out to tea party organizers and reaching out to evangelicals and straddling the fence with mitt romney and doing the grass roots campaigning and he's doing

grass roots strategy. >> a gardening discussion. >> every time i talk to angela, i learn something. >> oh. >> dave: you want to learn something else? you're going to learn about mitt romney and pancakes because this is what the romney campaign is doing. sending out personal videos in hopes that he will begin to connect with everyday voters. check out the latest. >> these are pancakes, i'm in rosemont illinois and i got the pancakes from a restaurant called pancakes egg cetr a play on words and a fox and friends. >> and we appreciate the mention, helpful or not. >> this is why mitt romney struggles, these are pancakes. now, most americans know what pancakes are, at this point. and a week or so again talking about the cheesy grits, in the south. >> and y'all. >> and we don't call them--

. no, we call them grits. >> we call pancakes. >> dave: can these types of things, excluding these pancakes, can this type of thing help to connect. >> here is all three of the campaigns problems. we help kids understand what happens in the past and elections a lot. one thing i know from the last 30 election. the more likeable has won the presidency going back to ronald reagan and look, all it three of these guys would do a better job governing, but there's an enthusiasm gap who you want to sit down have a beer with. >> would you rather go to a concert with obama, rick santorum or mitt romney. >>. >> dave: clayton morris was outraged because the video was shot vertical clearing on an iphone. >> side ways. >> dave: clayton is outraged.

newt gingrich vote would go to rick santorum. when you add up the vote that rick santorum and gingrich has and seems to be leading in at that conservative vote. it eclipses the support that mitt romney has, even only half of that vote goes to rick santorum, it puts him ahead of mitt romney and you have a conservative getting the nomination and that's what the conservatives are concerned about. and moderates don't do well against liberals and conservatives do better and they want to see a conservative emerge with the nomination. >> ainsley: when you talk to voters they say we want the economy to improve and jobs more people on hearing this election say they're not necessarily voting for the social issues, they're voting for jobs. and who can turn this around. what do you say for the voters who are stuck, they're not sure to choose, and one candidate is better with the economy and another candidate has more social issues or morality or so some people might say. >> you can't separate the issues, you talk about we want

the strength, size and scope of government. they want to see the size of department of the drunk, but there's a recognition, there's a reason the government is so big, there are so many government programs is because the family and local communities are broken down and they're not doing and able, and a lot of times roweded out by the government. these issues are the same and they want to strengthen the american family and that's a message that senator santorum has been. >> and it's clear where he stands on the social issues and where he stands on the sanctity of human life and the biblical definition of marriage and on those notes what specifically would you like to ask of him. >> you can ask what we're going to talk about. it's primarily. this was a state and louisiana never intended or thought it would be in the heat of this. as the contest continued on,

and louisiana now has an election on the 24th of this month, another key state in the south for the republicans and we'll talk about issues that are concern about not just the social issues, baton rouge, we're going to be talking about gasoline prices and what to do to get rid of the regulations that keep the businesses from moving forward and in the let him talk about his relationship with god and what that would mean for him as president. >> and your opinion is very important for voters out there and they want to know about the candidates. do you know them personally and what are they like. >> i know them personally, known rick santorum for probably close to a decade and i've known newt gingrich not as well, but worked with him on a number of occasions and i

know mitt romney, and interaction with him. and not as much interaction with ron paul. and they're all good men. anybody who-- and the women who have been in this race as well. michelle ba michele bachmann a very close friend. all of them should be commended for offering th themselves to the leadership position. i think it's a good process. i don't think it's drug on too long. i think it needs to continue on until we find who is the strongest candidate who can take on barack obama, this november. >> dave: it looks like it will drag on. exactly what you want it to do. tony perkins thanks for being with us. louisiana is on the 24th. >> have a great morning. >> you, too. and capital hill, do they forget we're facing a crisis.

can you imagine a leap like that, 93 billion dollars. that's why mitch daniels, former governor of indiana, he says, look, this is a national-- we're on the road to national ruin. and we kind of almost ignoring this as our nation's finances get worse and worse and not paying the attention we should. >> clayton: mitch daniels says we need to get this under control otherwise the financial disaster is looming. i want to throw you some liberal signs here that paul krugman rolled out. roll with this. >> see what i can do for you. >> clayton: i enjoy your response it paul krugman. he says the debt isn't a big deal at all. look, the right wing is having us believe it's a problem. we're borrowing money against ourselves it's not money we owe foreign country. it's false debt. . >> i he says the stimulus plan should have been much bigger, not one trillion, 2 or 3 trillion dollars and that debt doesn't matter we're borrowing

at a low rate of interest. here is problem. the rate of interest is going up. it's more expensive for america to borrow and we're at that tripping point where we're paying so much in interest on all of this debt that at some point people are going to say, you know, we're not going to lend you more money. for example, at the moment. we're paying 9 billion dollars a week in interest alone. and much of that's going overseas. by the election, it will be 10 billion dollars a week. >> clayton: more than every dollar we're taking in, owing more than the dollar is worth. interesting numbers as we take a look at the full screens here. the deficit 93 billion more than estimated, but president obama adding to the budget deficit of 6 trillion in ten years, and he's actually doing well on the campaign trail and raking in some good dough. >> oh, yeah, look, there's a contrast here, and this week, with our nation's finances head south, and look increasingly dodgy, the

president's campaign finances look increasingly prosperous. on friday, he held five fundraisers, raising 5 million dollars, just in one day. his campaign finance haul, the money bringing in looks pretty good at this point. 5 million dollars in one day and held an event obama for lawyers, and 600 turned out and paid $2500 apiece and fundraiser at the tyler perry mansion. and $35,800 each and flocking in to give the man money. as the nation's finances look dicey, that debt piles up and piles up and piles up. obamacare more expensive than we thought. gas prices up. food prices up double digit and the nation's finances look dodgy and the president's campaign brings in a ton of money. >> clayton: and a good british word for you, dodgy. >> dodgy. >> clayton: hear that on the

>> yes, it's winnable and the question is whether this administration is able to make the kind of commitment necessary. that's the role of a leader. they're supposed to develop a strategy and the troops carry it out. and there is no strategy except a quote, strategy of withdrawal. that's the problem. once you told pt troops you could be the last guy to die here, it's hard to maintain morale even with the event like a week ago today. >> dave: and one of the injured troops asked you a question. i hope my son's sacrifice is not in vein, is it? are you afraid of just that. >> i'm afraid of that. frankly the only thing i'm afraid of in this whole thing that's what we heard a lot of in vietnam. and the first time in 11 years of this war and hundreds of trips to walter reed i heard a parent or a spouse say those. >> dave: and i can't imagine the impact that had on you, my last question, yesterday.

santorum said this. >> dave: this is a primary and turnout is everything, do your job and you do your job and this is a pledge. if we're able to come out with a huge or a surprise win, i garan he tee, i guarantee you that we'll win this nomination and we will nominate a conservative and if we nominate a conservative, we will beat barack obama in the fall election, and thank you, illinois. god bless you. and then he ran off the stage, olding the tie up in the air. but he's a fellow pennsylvania guy just like joe namath. it's a bold prediction, being that because of the delegate math, we're the not going to bog you down with it, rick santorum, nice side by side comparison. he needs two-thirds essentially of the remaining delegates to get na 1144. a long way to go, even to there's-- >> and even all of the gingrich's delegates, wouldn't have enough. >> dave: we had on tony perkins earlier if newt wasn't in the race, santorum would be leading.

383. over 100 shy of mitt romney's delegates. >> clayton: meanwhile, these numbers up for grabs, 1350-- i'm sorry, 1356 delegates are up for grabs right now and they're still to be allocated. here is santorum's thinking. because the pundits say you have a 1% chance of winning, if you listen to the the pundits. don't listen to them. >> ainsley: you're saying there's a chance. >> clayton: you're saying there's a chance. the idea there would be an open convention and he and ron paul would get enough so mitt romney wouldn't get the 1144 to get there. >> ainsley: don't we need someone, no matter where they are in this process to say, i guarantee i can win? >> newt gingrich said the same thing. >> ainsley: they're never going to take the podium and say i'm going to try to win, aim not sure. >> clayton: i think that ron paul admitted. >> dave: you're right. through all this have an article of a potential of an open convex about, you know,

brokered convention and no one getting the 1144. and mitt romney clearly had issues throughout the campaign and stumbling into it and the cadillac reference, you know all about it. it seems this weekend he may have changed the narrative a little bit and maybe owning the fact that he's rich and saying, here is how it works for you folks. he said, quote, on saturday. i i'm not in this race to make money. i've made enough and worked the last ten years without taking a salary and not embarrassed about being successful, but em bored for people who think there's something wrong with that. i want people to become successful themselves and he did not take a salary as governor of massachusetts and to my knowledge, the first time he would have talked about that something he would have brought up early and often. >> we talked in the 6 a.m. hour. and it will be online ott foxnews.com, but interesting takes on chris christie supporting mitt romney. we don't need another member of congress in the white house

and a governor through their legislative executive experience is really the person you want in the white house and that's what governor christy said. i said, does mitt romney need to say more about being governor because we hear so much about his private business experience and the point is, it may be more beneficial to start talking about being an executive and putting a staff together. and that's what the american people end up electing. >> i think they want them to become real and we're seeing that as the process goes on. >> yeah. >> and saying that kind of thing, i'm embracing, this is who i am. like it or the not. this is what it is and i think that america wants to see this side of these candidates. >> you want to see the pancake one i'll put that on twitter. one thing american people want to hear from candidates how they're going to bring the gas prices down. they're up. 3.84, the average price of a gallon of gas, just 7% shy of

the all-time record which is 411 set back in july of '08. we're right there and almost certainly surpassed the record. >> right, a the lot of presidents often say there's not really a silver bullet to get this thing lower. but the survey what the americans are giving up. three out of four americans say they're making changes to driving habits and dining out less often, not driving to go to dinner anymore, because of the amount of money it's costing for a night out on the town. >> and 64% less on entertainment. and 37% postponing close and 15% canceling cable and 12% cell phone. and i have a friend that watches cable and one on h.b.o. once the show is finished they cancel the cable and then once they come back, they call it back for a few months. >> and here is what you're doing because of the gas

and the west example in the past, had to buy their health insurance from essentially one company, a company that happened to be affiliated with the teacher's union and now they're saving literally tens of millions of dollars. we avoided tax increases and massive layoffs in states like illinois, a lot of work to do, but headed in the right direction. >> and now what the firestorm has been from the left. and we'll get a response 0 from that. they say you're to blame for the lagging economy and you look at illinois and look at others in the region that you're lagging behind the other states in growth because of the dramatic cuts and they say, what liberals are saying in wisconsin because you cut drivers, because you cut teachers and public workers, the cuts were too deep and they buy clothing and go it restaurants and had an adverse effect on wisconsin, what do you say to the left? >> just ridiculous, we didn't touch any firefighters or

police officers and secondly, when you look at the yet gain in terms of new hires versus the layoffs in the sit of wisconsin for teachers. 1200 more. and they ran out of contracts before the law went into effect. if they wanted to avoid layoffs in milwaukee, kenosha or janesville. in the larger context, under my predecessor, a democrat, and control everything in the legislature, wisconsin lost 150,000 private sector jobs in the three years prior to my taking office and this prior year just in january alone saw the creation of 15,700 new private sector jobs, our unemployment rate is down below 7% for the first time. since 2008. and that's a stark contrast, illinois. where the unemployment rate is almost 10% because they've embraced the liberal policies. >> appears to be headed back in the right direction and

here is what the american education action group report says, essentially you've saved 162 million and 72 districts, that breaks down to $500 per student and i believe we have the numbers to show the audience at home, but has it come. has it perked at all the education system that you have there in wisconsin? >> no, overall. it's been a good thing and we've seen a system where we can hire and fire based on merit and performance and ultimately put the best and brightest in the classrooms. my two children, other schools have seen improvements and seen where they've taken deficits and turned into is your plieses and here teachers and many cases to set money aside to pay their best, based on performance, so long-term, a great thing. the other thing si had a school student say to me

recently, the best part of your forms is not just savings, the fact that th individual said he'd worry about curriculum rather than grievances. so the forms are working and we need time to push forward and others fight is mainly because we took their money away and you can no longer forcing them to be a union and somebody is taking-- >> and they've now mounted a fight to get you recalled. obviously, you've rolled a number of ads and how do you see this playing out may into june? >> it should be be called the next week or so election on june 5th. you're right about it. the public employee unions, big government union bosses and a lot of private sector unions like wh we're doing and because we're getting people working again. but in the public sector for the big government unions, they're driving the recall and they spent part of the 44 million dollars in total that

was spent last summer against the senate recalls here in wisconsin and many suggested maybe as much as 70 to 80 million and have a majority from big government bosses and we've got to find it. and people can help us match that dollar for dollar at the grass roots level instead of the at the big government boss union level. >> a touch of irony that they are he' angry over tens of millions in cuts and all to spend tens of millions in advertise to go try to remove you, but we can discuss that at another time. governor walker is going to stick around for us, and we appreciate that because you can add wisconsin to the list of states where requiring a voter photo i.d. to vote, is ruled unconstitutional, is that fair? we'll discuss that with the governor in a moment. >> a disgrace to old glory, one veteran wants to know why the torn up american flag is still flying.

>> we're back now with wisconsin governor scott walker, his state one of many in this country. and trying to make a simple requirement in this country that you have a photo i.d., when you vote. governor, that's not an easy task, the department of justice is striking back in most states trying to enact a similar law. what is the holdup specifically in your state? >> well, in wisconsin we've had two different judges in dade county issuing injunctions in the law and years ago we had a governor in wisconsin, madison where our state capital is 38 square miles surrounded by reality. there's a lot of truth of that. and the rest of the state wonder what the folks on the left are thinking in madison. it's a common sense law.

one i was proud to sign and had overwhelming support and it's had overwhelming support across the state and party lines, one where you have to show photo i.d. here in the city of milwaukee where i'm sitting nearby today, the city there has a requirement if you want to check out a library book, do you have show a photo i.d. in our state. if you want to get cold medicine behind the counter, show photo i.d. and in the past used for meth. if you want public assistance, photo i.d. >> and a different angle this week, and talking about she said the progressives in the media, they want us to believe that voter fraud or election tampering either don't exist at all or a small percentage of abuse and that's not problematic. and the left the says that this inadvertently hurts or disproportionately hurts minority voters. what do you say to that? >> i say that's inherently discriminatory statement in

itself. the idea that a certain class of individuals are more or less likely to get an i.d. is a ridiculous statement. right now, the judge acknowledges under current law under the constitution, state of wisconsin, you can set aside either people who are felons, or people who, because of their mental status, are incompetent to be able to vote. i had a 17-year-old friend of one of my son's the other day say on his own not a political kid, he said when he heard that in the news. he said if you can't get an i.d., a photo i.d. in today's society, you are incompetent. because, it's not hard to get. in our state it doesn't cost anything. if you ask at one of our dmv offices for a state issued i.d. card and you say you don't have the ability to pay for it, by law they have to give it to you free. so, everywhere else in society you need it, need it to get on a plane, to cash a check. you need it for public assistance and there are so many places you already need it, the idea there would be people who didn't have it is

remarkable. even if they did, it doesn't cost a penny to get it at our dmv offices. i think this is an affront, trying to drive a political agenda for judges in dade county and it's something with wide, wide support in our state and others. >> dave: it does. teenagers are stunned you don't have to have a photo i.d. they have to have one for everything in orlife. and at the core is voter fraud. some suggest in pennsylvania where the governor signed it in law and wisconsin that voter fraud is not a huge problem. is it? >> it has been and the idea when you think about, i mean, the idea that we have to show a photo i.d. the hat the library to protect a book or people legitimately getting services they're entitled to. the irony is none of those are as important as the integrity of the vote. whether it's one or a thousand

with fraud. the idea in wisconsin or any other state, makes good common sense. on top of that, we had a vote in february in our local government primary back in february, and the media here was stunned to find out there weren't problems. reality is, it's not a problem. people enjoy pulling out the photo i.d. and letting people know about it. it's not difficult to do and somehow low income or certain ethnic groups can't do that, again, i think is in itself a discriminatory statement, they can and do in other ways in life, no reason every group in the state can't do it. >> and a big win with badgers. >> and marquette, i almost forgot. >> marquette and wisconsin. and could be a final, badgers and brewers, good for year for us. >> dave: at the airport if you

guarantee we'll win this nomination. we'll nominate a conservative, and if we nominate the conservative, we'll beat barack obama in the fall election. >> we do talk about a namath moment. in case you have forgotten, a fellow pennsylvanian picked a win against the baltimore colts. it's different for rick santorum because of the numbers, folks. he needs ballpark two-thirds of the delegates remaining to get the 1144. now, there are 69 up for grabs on tuesday, and also we should mention 20 are handed out today with puerto rico' puerto rico's. here's where we stand. >> you said earlier if newt gingrich took all of his delegates and added them to santorum, it wouldn't be enough to meet mitt romney at this point. >> those who say if newt gingrich were out, santorum would be winning. so many proportions contests make it difficult to rack up a

lot of delegates and come back. >> there's a long way to go. >> here's the race as it shakes out. these are the 1356 delegates yet to be allocated. notice missouri. there was a brouhaha yesterday at some of the caucuses. we thought we went through the missouri caucus a few weeks ago, right? no. everyone is calling it a beauty contest. mitt romney was calling it a beauty contest. now they're starting to allocate those delegates and it looks like that rick santorum could do really, really well there and actually get some delegates out of this mass. this math is fuzzy. when you look at florida, we thought it went one way. it could go a different way. we looked at iowa. it could go one way or another. he's seeing different math, perhaps. >> it's like having to come back from 20 points down without a three-point ball. >> free throws. >> difficult. >> okay. >> fouls. >> it can happen. it can happen. >> if you want a sports analogy

for the g.o.p. race. >> we've got california, new york, new jersey, texas, and meanwhile, mitt romney on the campaign trail this weekend. instead of stumbling into his money and his success and having people hold that against him, maybe a change of tone from the romney campaign this weekend. it appears they are beginning to own his success, his wealth, and tell folks and tell voters how it might actually work to their advantage. here's what he said on saturday. >> he says i'm not in this race to make money. i've already made enough. i already worked the last ten years without taking a salary. i'm not embarrassed about being successful but i'm embarrassed for people who think there's something wrong about that. i want to help people become successful themself. >themselves. >> he said he didn't take a paycheck as the governor of massachusetts. >> he hasn't talked about that. >> has talked have little about

that. puerto rico today, illinois on tuesday, and that's so important because santorum has lost ohio, michigan, florida, those big states, those swing states, so it should be an important week. >> i think it's always interesting when you read something negative about someone in the media or a famous person and then they embrace that negativity, and a lot of people have said it's a negative. he's made so much money, americans can't relate. he's saying embrace us. hold on. i've made it all on my own. now i want to do that for you and america. he's embracing that message and saying i'm not going to apologize for being successful. >> someone argued it's taken him this long to do it. this is the issue he's been afraid to talk about. >> people are saying the real mitt romney, maybe. for the rest of your headlines and the rest of the the fox alerts. a militant group claiming responsibility for the murder of a u.s. citizen in yemen. u.s. officials say he worked at a swedish language center.

including a few tornadoes, i think, across parts of texas and oklahoma and kansas. kind of the area right there, northern texas and the panhandle to that south central part of kansas. anywhere else, probably some hail and some damaging winds, could see a tornado as well in those areas. tomorrow it just pulls very slightly to the east. it's a really slow mover. because of that, we'll see very heavy rainfall falling for a number of days, the next four to five days. we'll see very significant rain and so big flooding concerns will be the case across areas of missouri, down through arkansas, oklahoma, eventually into texas. widespread 4 to 8-inch rainfall totals. some areas, maybe 10 inches. the other side of the story are these crazy temperatures that are more like summer high averages. the highest average in minneapolis is 84 degrees in july. that's what you average. the last few days have been in the upper 70s, very close to that. chicago, this will be your fifth day above 80 degrees. tomorrow will be your sixth day above 80 degrees. the heat continues tomorrow and

slowly breaks down. we'll see the heat across the northern plains this week moderate a bit, back into the 60s and 50s. we'll still remain well above average and we'll see the storms move a little more towards the southern side of this all week long. all right, guys. back to you. >> rick, thank you, sir. we would never yawn during weather. never. however. >> speak for yourself. >> we would yawn on occasion when we're in line waiting to board a flight at the airport. it's one of those situations. >> talking about it makes you want to yawn, doesn't it. >> you don't move. you watch the line. if you yawn, you might, in fact, be deemed a security risk. >> turns out the homeland security department is actually warning those folks or looking for warnings signs that you could be a terrorist. one of them is yawning. with a cold stare or those wide flash bulb eyes which i never heard before. >> bug eyes. >> i heard bug eyes or an exaggerated yawning, touching the face or the ears, fidgeting,

hay there and welcome back, everybody. president obama may be pegging his energy policy as forward looking, but was he on the wrong

side of history when he compared it to other great moments of innovation. >> joining us from burlington, vermont is columnist mark stein. thanks for being with us. always great to have you. >> hey, guys. still reeling over those criminalized yawns from a the t. that's great. >> don't yawn for the next four minutes. we're watching you. >> i don't want to be on the no fly list. >> you already are. sorry. >> what do you mean by this, mark? >> president obama in his energy speech gave a passage which was as bad as any president of the united states has uttered. he compared people telling christopher columbus that the world was round. actually, nobody believed that in 15th century spain. in 15th century spain, everybody educated, europeans knew the world was sever spheri.

they thought colum columbus wasg the long way around. when the president is ?eering at the ignorance of 15th century spaniards, he's the ignorant one. his audience is laughing it up. >> the president said, quote, one of my predecessors reportedly said about the telephone it's a great invention, but who would ever want to use one. that's why he's not on mount rush more. >> that quotation is entirely apocryphal. hays said he found the instrument wonderful and had it installed in the white house four months later. he had the first typewriter in the white house an he had edison come around to demonstrate the

phonograph. the difference between president hayes and president obama distinguished between genuine innovation and phony baloney help for pals. >>d preds said we heard these folks in the past. they would have agreed with one of the pioneers of the radio who said sell visio television won's a flash in the pan. one of henry ford's advisor said the horse is here to stay, but the automobile is only a fad. what do you make a fad? >> the president is sneering about a line by george peck. he was a crippled farm boy with an 8th grade education who started as a clerk in a dry goods store and turned it into one of the most successful businesses in the state of michigan, and then became president of the edison ililluminating company.

you remember edison invented this light bulb thing that the geniuses of the united states government has just banned. this is exactly what you want in america. you want an 8th grade guy who builds a successful businesses and introduces electrical distribution from southern michigan all the way up to sioux ste mayry. you compare that guy with a guy like president obama who has had millionons in education. who is he to sneer at george peck? the line about tv, that was said by a friend of a friend of mine. she was talking about it in the context of educational tv as a tool in school, so that's basically just four strikes in one paragraph in terms of getting his history right for president obama. >> mark, i have to ask you about a phone call i'm told you received recently where you had a request most of us could never imagine. they asked you can you fill in

for former vice-president dick cheney. what is that all about? >> that's right. dick cheney, the man who they tried to kill him in afghanistan. he had no problems about going to iraq, but he's apparently concerned about going to canada which is this big scary swamp of dysfunction up north, so he pulled out of an event there in toronto in april for security reasons, and i've been asked to pinch hit for him which i regard as a great honor. basically, i'm minut mini me tos dr. evil. if you buy elite gold prestige tickets for the first three rows, i'll give you complimentary waterboarding. >> if you're darth vader, who is he. >> i'm the guy with the bad skin. >> thanks so much, mark. good luck with filling in. >> my pleasure.

thanks, guy. >> thanks for not yawning, too. appreciate that. coming up, from the runway to running from the law, why this swimsuit model was a fugitive. plus game on. march madness in full swing, and yes, they're in. the national broadcaster who was stuck in marathon traffic, she got out of the car and ran. she's on the curvy couch in just a minute. copd makes it hard to breathe, so i wasn't playing much of a role in my own life, but with advair, i'm breathing better so now i can take the lead on a science adventure. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, workintogether to help improve ur lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalersor sudden symptoms

and should not be used more than twice a day people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. if you're still having difficulty breathing, take the lead. ask your doctor if incling advair get your first fl prescription free and save on refills at advaircopd.com. is this where we're at now? we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal? bring on the pork chops and the hot fudge. fantastic. are you done sweetie? yea [ male announcer ] fiber one. are you done sweetie? yea

it doesn't look risky. i mean, phil, does this look risky to you? nancy? fred? no. well it is. in a high-risk area, there's a 1-in-4 chance homes like us will flood. i'm glad i got flood insurance. fred, you should look into it. i'm a risk-taker. [ female announcer ] only flood insurance covers floods. visit floodsmart.gov/risk to learn your risk.

all right. welcome back. quick headlines for you. the federal elections commission said john edwards' defunct presidential campaign owes the u.s. treasury 2.1 million bucks. they say it's for receiving more money for the 2008 bid than he was entitled to. apple taking one for the

team. a new study shows the company sacrificed profit margins by using more expensive parts in the new ipad than it did in the ipad 2. this i as the cost to the custor remains the same. no one is crying here. >> $600 a share. pity on apple. meanwhile, march madness hitting the nation and even the president is getting in on the action. filling out the brackets, and you know he has the same final four as our next guest. >> here to weigh in on the madness is sports broadcaster bonnie better tha bernstein. >> good to see you. >> you have the same final four as the president and the same national championship. >> you know what else i had? i had colorado beating unc. >> what's the theory behind this bracket choice? >> a lot of blind guessing. i enjoy bright colors.

no. i mean, michigan state, i know a lot of people are looking at kentucky. they've been israe amazing and syracuse is without one of their biggest players in fab melo. the thing i've always loved about tom izzo is he emphasizes rebound and defense and his players buy into it. he's got incredible players. the big ten' has been one of the toughest conferences in the country, and maybe it's because i know him better than almost any other coach i've covered. >> he schedules really tough. when they get to the tournament, it's nothing different for them. remember, they started the season with north carolina. >> they lost to north carolina and duke early on. if you've seen green play, the kid is just a beast, and you can't cover him. >> let's get you to do some bracket metrics here on dave's bracket. i'll get you to weigh in on my choices. here's dave's choices. >> all right. >> a lot of people made picked michigan mizzou for the final

four. that's the one team that's out of my elite eight. i'm still intact with every team expect missouri. that's not really surprising. >> i'm curious to get your thoughts on mine. i had lehigh. >> you did not have lehigh. >> i had norfolk state. >> and syracuse. my genius or something else at work here. >> you're a liar. >> what is it about march madness? i was on lined. you can watch the games on line. if your boss comes into your office, you hit the boss button. >> it van shishes. >> we're looking for ways to keep employees safe. >> what is it about march madness that exiets all of us, men and women alike? >> there's a general fanaticism about it. it's a whirl wind three weeks. when we talk about the bcs in football, every single game counts. basketball is a longer situation. when you hit march madness and you see the teams like the

lehighs, norfolk states upsetting teams in the tournament, that's what we embrace so much about the basketball tournament. when we look at football, we say why can't we try to create a similar format because you just never know on any given day when one of the smaller teams can beat the larger teams. >> in college. in pros, still the number one sports in the country, manning madness might surpass march madness. alex smith, the 49ers quarterback, he's now visiting miami this morning. does he know something that we all don't? is peyton manning headed to san francisco? the other two teams are denver and tennessee. he worked out for tennessee yesterday. >> jim harbaugh, the 49ers coach, said alex smith is my guy. one of the reasons why smith has had so much success since harbaugh has come on board because harbaugh was a starting quarterback in the nfl. he instilled that confidence in alex that he didn't get from the other coaches aside from the fact he had a new offensive coordinator every season so he learned a new system every year.

when you look at the quality of the personnel, of the three remaining candidates in san francisco and in tennessee and in denver, at least as far as we know, san francisco is the one team that is ready made for the super bowl. they came close last year, lost to my giants, but they have the quality. tennessee, i really think among the three in my mind, is the frontrunner. he went to tennessee. >> don't say that. >> not only is it an afc team and that's where peyton has been the entire time, it's the same division. houston is really good, and just the familiar airportity, the lil protect him, and the offensive line coach were great. >> quickly before we let you go. you're such an advocate for this. it's important to you. march is deep vain thrombosis awareness month. why is this such an important issue for you? >> well, first and foremost,

because it kills more people than breast cancer and aids combined. a lot of people don't know about it. >> what is it? >> it's a bin laden clot that -- a blood clot that breaks off and goes into your lung. there are a lot of really common risk factors. by and large, this is a preventible disease. that's why i'm out there trying to talk about it. if you're in the hospital, if you have cancer or heart disease, getting major surgery, doctors look out for it. as far as non-hospital risk factors, if you're over 40, if you smoke, if you're obese, if you have a genetic predisposition. if you fly, take long train or plane rides where you're not moving. specific to women, anyone on evidenestrogen based birth cont, the general rule of thumb is if you have three or more risk factors, you have a 50% or better chance of getting something that's largely preventible. if you have those risk factors,

preventdvt.org is the website. a very simple risk assessment test is there. if you've got pain in your leg or pain in your chest or trouble breathing, get to the doctor and hopefully you're in time. >> bonnie, thanks so much for joining us this morning. sitting on a couch for four hours, probably not the best thing. >> get up. >> do ankle circles. >> preventdvt.org. >> great to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you, my dear. the "new york times" nixing the anti-islam ad but instead ran an anti-catholic one. was the paper being too sensitive or hypercritical? we'll ask father john coming up. plus, are you a sucker for mom's home cooking. >> was that for dinner? i took it out to make the corn dogs. >> a new debate heating up. why men prefer mom's home cooking over their wives. uh-oh.

welcome back to "fox & friends", everybody. dave briggs, clayton morris, ainsley earhardt in for allyson. here's the question. does your mom cook better than your wife. you know you don't want to admit it, but a a lot of people, that's the reality. >> maybe we could if we weren't working these days, right? >> i have lasagna in the oven. >> i'm sorry. marie.

that was for dinner? >> i took it out to make the corn dogs. you want a corn dog? >> turns out the majority of men do admit that their mom cooks better than their wife, but in all fairness, the wives are busy taking care of the kids and bouncing around. they don't have all the time that your mom had. the numbers item the story. >> let's take a look at this. one fourth of you will sneak over to mom' mom's house to eat without your wife knowing. a tenth say they feel pressured to live up to mother-in-law's skills. a tenth refuse to eat wife's food. 13% tell the their wives to get cooking advice from their mom. >> i have fell victim to that. >> that's a big mistake. how did that go over? >> the couch was comfortable. >> an e-mail this morning from debbie that says i could never

hold a candle to my mom's cooking but i make a mean microwave dinner. >> that's awesome. this one says my dad -- who wrote this? >> donna. >> my dad told me don't tell, but you've become a better cook than your mom. >> a tweet from mark smith, be a man. you don't like her cooking, do it yourself. >> thank you. thanks, mark. >> let us know how you feel about this trend. here's another one. my husband definitely prefers my cooking. his mom's cooking is not that good. >> wow. >> that's coming from the wife. >> if you're a woman and you want to like butter up to the mother-in-law, just ask her for some recipes. it's such a compliment. my mother would love it if we did that for her. i always call her and say mom, this doesn't take like yours, what do i need t to do. they just know. >> my mom could cook, my mother-in-law could cook, and my wife's thehe best of all. i'm not kissing up, it's really that good. >> you're lucky. for your headlines this morning, chaos on the campaign

trail. you're looking at two people arrested during a brawl outside of one of the g.o.p. presidential caucuses. this happened in st. charles, missouri yesterday. witnesses say tensions were running high for a number of reasons, a handful of mitt romney and ron paul supporters were angry after rick santorum showed up late and delayed the voting. the event was shut down. the missouri caucuses do not elect a clear winner. they simply elect delegates to go on to the state and district conventions where a bulk of missouri's 52 delegates will go to specific candidates. occupy wall street protesters reoutbound zuccotti park in new york city doing what they do best, getting arrested. the exact number of arrest haven't been given, but dozens of protesters locked arms in the park and officers swept through, taking people in handcuffs. cops cleared out the park and piled those arrested on a city

bus. so much for being a model citizen. a hollywood swimsuit model there is her picture, recognize her? she's arrested on charges that she ran an international drug ring. she was found hiding in australia nearly a month after she skipped bail in california. far rorow is expected to be in court this week. those, my friends, are your headlines. let's check in with rick and find out what's happening in the weather department. >> hey, guys. all kinds of crazy stuff going on. it's incredibly warm. take a quick look at the maps. temperatures across the northern plains, the column on your left, those are where you should be this time of year. then you look at what today's high temperatures are and tomorrow's high temperatures. incredible temps. nobody would think we'd have that kind of weather here in march. go across the west. we have a major winter storm going on in arizona right now, getting reports from people on twitter and facebook that in press cot there's a foot of snow. at least that in flagstaff,

although i haven't seen any reports of that. i-40 eastbound is closed. that gives you an idea of how big of a storm this is in arizona, and very heavy rain in phoenix. they need all the precipitation they can get, so they'll take it, but a very rough day there. take a look at the forecast around the rest of the company. in towards the northeast, another very warm day. we'll see a lot of sunshine and a few thunderstorms in the western part of this. down to the southeast, also another warm day. we'll see a few thunderstorms and across the carolinas. guys, we'll send it back to you inside. >> thanks, brother. >> as we wind down from our st. patrick's day celebration, the fiesta for los fias burns on in spain. amy kellogg is live with more on the five-day festival. did i get it right, amy? amy? >> amy? amy is too busy watching the festival. she's ignoring us right now. doesn't want any part of the show. >> she wanted to experience it. >> reporter: this is a floral offering. it's won't haven into won't wor

eelaborate robe. as they proceed through town to make their floral offerings, you can see the emotion on many of the faces, tears for prayers and promises to the virgin mary. even the tiniest citizens of the city are on display. less somber and less formal but no less important is this dish. there's a competition each year. the winning fallas this year, a massive scene all about crisis, financial crisis with a figure depicting moody's squeezing the euro. even in the escapism of this holiday, reality is at the party. with spain's economy being in dyedire straights, there's debae about whether or not the festival should be scaled down.

there are some thoughts that the the figures, the fallsa themselves will be smaller but no discussion that this festival itself is in any sort of jeopardy. >> now we do have amy once again. how has it been, amy? >> i think there's just a lot of traffic in terms of keeping our signal alive for you because we've just had a festival within a festival within a festival. you just heard a big boom go off. one of the highlights is something called the mas cleta. it's a really unusual thing. people are sending pictures home. i've never heard such noise in my life. of course, i've been to fireworks displays. this is con concentrated in six minutes, thousands of explosions, absolutely deafening.

you can only understand once you have lived through it. we spoke to a guy who is a fourth generation pyro technico. he said it's something very specific for valencia and he hopes his family will go forever and ever. >> have fun. tough assignment. coming up, the "new york times" ran an anti-catholic add but refused to run one that was anti-islam a week later. is this a show of hypocrisy. at 14 years old, he might have found a way to save lives. we'll meet a boy whose science project could cure cancer. wake up! that's good morning, veggie style.

hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8.

is this where we're at now? we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal? bring on the pork chops and the hot fudge. fantastic. are you done sweetie? yea [ male announcer ] fiber one. 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. the "new york times" is refusing

to print an anti-islam ad only a week after they ran this anti-catholic ad, so is this a showcase of hypocracy or sensitivity? we have the writer of the rejected ad, pamela geller, on "fox & friends" weekend yesterday. here's what she had to say. >> i think it's abject surrender and craven hypocracy. it was a blistering, insulting attack. i merely cited statistics. it was the exact same ad. i think they made their bias known. >> here to share his thoughts, father jonathan morris. he wants us all happy because he's trying to pump us all up. >> we're not tired. you're not tired. we're having a ball. we're ready. >> three hours into it. >> this is interesting. if we can put up the side by side ad in case anyone hasn't let this sink in, they're basically the same. one has catholicism, one has

islam. they didn't run the one with islam because they were afraid it could jeopardize the troops. isn't that true? >> yes. i think it's understandable, but that doesn't mean, you know, we did the right thing in not putting the anti-islam ad, but we did the right thing in putting up the anti-catholic ad. let me read to you what the "new york times" says is their goal. listen to this. company wide, our goal is to cover the news impartially and to treat readers, news sources, advertisers and all parts of our society fairly and openly, and to be seen as doing so. >> did they live up to that? >> they did not. not only did they not live up to the impartiality part, they've also not lived up to the whole slogan of news, all the news that's fit to print. this was classless. it was low. it was untruthful, this ad that they did about catholicism.

>> what did you think about that ad? what was your reaction when you saw that. >> what the ad basically says is that contraceptives, that the church's stance on contraceptives is responsible for all poverty and they go on and on and on and invite people to leave the catholic church. it's low and classless. i'm not even going to say the name of the organization that put it out. they're all about self-promotion, but the "new york times" is bigger than this. they know this, and they have a choice to make. are they going to be low and classless and impartial or rather are they going to step up and do what they did about the anti-islam ad and say you know he what? this is not the right thing to do. i'm glad they didn't publish the anti-islam ad. they should not have published this anti-catholic ad. >> that maybe answers this next point that the "new york times" makes. they say the fallout from running this ad now could put u.s. troops or civilians in the afghan region in danger. >> i wonder why they didn't decide to do the same thing when

they published all the wikileaks, is that right? wikileaks news that most definitely put our troops into danger in afghanistan. i think what they have done here is the right thing in not putting our troops in danger, but the very weak explanations of how they somehow were doing the right thing in putting out this anti-catholic ad really shows the classless editorial decisions that they've made. >> father jonathan morris, thanks for being here and injecting your passion and enthusiasm into us. >> thank you, father. so good to see you. coming up next, we'll hear from a michigan teenager whose science project could help cure cancer. looking good! you lost some weight.

you noticed! these clothes are too big, so i'm donating them. how'd you do it? eating right, whole grain. [ female announcer ] people who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who don't. multigrain cheerios... five whole grains, 110 calories. when i'm on overtime. when i'm in over my head. when i have to be sharp... no matter how many time zones i've crossed. when i'm on my feet for hours. when it's game time. when the day's only half over but my energy is all gone. when i need the energy to start exercising. every day. every day. every day is a 5-hour energy day. 5-hour energy. every day.

this 17-year-old from michigan is $100,000 richer. he's 17 years old. thanks to his science project on breast ken ser. researchers say his data could lead to better targeted and less toxic therapies for cancer parents. could this high school research eventually save lives? joining me now is the winner of the intel science winner talent search. it's such exciting news. >> definitely. i studied some different proteins that are involved in breast cancer and lie leukemia.

i was a way to find a way to turn them off and slow the growth of the cancer and its spread. >> that's incredible. cancer affects most everyone watching this morning. it's great news, especially as a woman, because breast cancer is something we all fear. i know it affects men and women. so you submitted this into the project and your project won, and you won $100,000? >> yes. >> okay. what are you going to do with the money? >> college. it's pretty expensive. >> where are you going to go? let me guess. harvard, yale, where are you going? >> right now i'm definitely leaning towards harvard, but i'm deciding between harvard, mit, and stanford. that's amazing. >> what's your advice for young kids. obviously you you're brilliant. what did your parents do for you? i'm sure they read a lot to you. what is your advice for people your age? >> you're never too young to start doing something really great. i started when i was like 13 or

14. most people told me it was a little too early but i enjoyed it. i think it worked out great for me. if you're interested, i would definitely say jump aboard. >> what happens next. how is this research going to help cure cancer? >> you know, i was able to identify some targets in the lab, essential, so the next steps are really figuring out how this can be used in more of a clinical setting like how can we actually develop a treatment for it, so that's something that other people are working on and i hope to be working on soon as an undergraduate. >> do you think in the near future we'll find a cure for cancer? >> you know, i think we're going to find small curious for a lot of different types of cancers, and that will probably i think happen over the next, you know, 10 or 15 years. we're going to get much better at it. hopefully soon. >> it's amazing. thank you so much for your efforts in this fight because it's something that, like i said, we all struggle with or all have faced.

what happens after college for you, doctor, or what are your plans? >> right now i'm thinking of pursuing both an md and a ph.d. so i can have the clinical side but keep the research i enjoy doing. >> what ar you are amazing. what did your parents do? did they read to you a lot. >> they've always supported all my interests. >> i thank you from the bottom of my heart. cancer affects a lot of people in my family. thanks so much for your efforts. >> thanks so much. >> have great morning. more "fox & friends" coming upfe in two minutes. it's great for watching movies and sports, a true hdtv experience right on my phone. i'll get one for me and one for my wife. i'll be like [manly voice] "a phone, my sweet" and she'll say [swooning voice] "oh, my hero ! did you remember to pick up milk, my hero ?" and i'll say "whoops." hopefully the spectrum phones will make up for that. behold the power of two 4g lte smartphones. buy one spectrum by lg at $199.99 and get one free.
