>> gregg: fox news alert. louisiana holding a primary with voters heading to the polls right now. this as republican candidates are looking for, dare i say some southern comfort. 20 delegates are ep four grabs. glad you are with us. >> heather: i'm heather childers. political contest in louisiana means a whole lot more than the hunt for delegates. very important rick santorum hoping to regain the momentum after his latest losses while mitt romney is trying to show she bible candidate in the deep south. carl cameron is live in new

orleans with the latest. >> it's a political gumbo of nasty attacks. puns go on and on in this one. polls close in a few hours. rick santorum is favored. the former pennsylvania senator will win louisiana he hopes and stay in the race to collect enough delegates to be in contention and win the nomination. as consequence of that, the lead in louisiana gives him an opportunity today in wisconsin that votes a week from tuesday that it's time for him to go mono on the talk stage. >> i wish we had the debates, one in the east and on the west. governor romney says he the candidate that of the eventual winner. have him make a case. all he is running negative ads

and playing process questions to the media. he is not taking about anything in important. he is talking about the delegate mass. we have our own delegate was and it's nothing like his delegate mass. >> reporter: romney is leading in the delegate mass more than double than rick santorum. there are 20 delts at stake. he took the campaign off here, romney did, but smeelt on the campaign trail today. newt gingrich is competing here in louisiana and just today suggested that rick santorum's big problem may be upcoming in his home state in pennsylvania where gingrich is campaigning and arguing that rick santorum as the former republican senator from that state suffered historic 18% loss and is not qualified to go up against obama in the fall. if santorum were to pull up a victory, if romney would pull

off a victory, it would be hard for santorum to say he can go forward. >> heather: i like these political gumbo and all of them. >> gregg: louisiana holding a big political stakes for rick santorum. he is fighting to try to re-energize his campaign with a commanding victory looking for a bayou bounce in the state's primary. running into potential problems from some comments he made on the campaign trail. let's talk about with charlie hurts good to see you. let's start with the basics. would a santorum win in louisiana put him back in the contest or is it simply too late for him? >> i would argue it's probably getting a little bit too late for him just because the way the math works out when they finally get to tampa. it really increasingly unlikely that santorum could overtake

romney and number of delegates that he has. once he gets to tampa, i don't know what the argument is. is he going to argue i should be the nominee because i have fewer delegates? it doesn't make sense. the real question if newt gingrich is able to pass that 25% threshold or not. if he does he will collect delegates. if he doesn't, he will be completely locked out after campaigning a week in louisiana. the question at that point, does newt just drop out? if he does drop out which is also sort of unlikely giving his nature, then it would change the dynamics, but it still doesn't change the math. rick santorum is far behind and everyday it gets that much more difficult to imagine him getting to a position where he is going

to be on equal footing with mitt romney. >> charlie, it has been acrimony just but this week santorum kind of went out on a limb and called romney indistinguishable from president obama. he suggested he would really prefer a second term to the if the over him. he suggested it. how damaging is that to santorum to romney, to republicans? >> gregg, i think it was terribly damaging to rick santorum, i doubt it hurt romney that much because we're still talking about republican contest right now. that is an extraordinary tin ear one thing all republicans can agree on, clearly they are not comfortable with mitt romney. he has a hard time getting behind him. one thing all republicans agree on, they do not like barack obama and they want president

obama to be a one-term president. so that was incredibly i thought off key remark to make, even to suggest it. he sort of suggesting it more and more and less oblique terms over the last couple of weeks. it happens this week, he was so blunt about it that he kind of got caught. of course, he ran it back as you mentioned. >> gregg: why would he say that? is it political immaturity? is it just at the last minute you are grabbing at straws here? what? >> i think it's some of that, but quite frankly i think he is trying to tap into the very deep dissatisfaction with mitt romney. indeed, among republican voters, there is that out there. the reality is you have obamacare. you have a lot of things that republicans believe, if

president obama gets another term, it's going to be forever and forever and it won't be undoable. quite frankly, republican voters clearly realize as much as uncomfortable they are with mitt romney they will gladly route for him and vote for him and probably give him money if he becomes the nominee. >> gregg: i wish i had money, because it went up in value this week. how important is that, how damaging is that? what is your assessment of that. >> what is your window in into the romney campaign? >> it was a stupid thing to say. any time you are sort of the nominee who has had a hard time proving your credentials among conservatives. you need to be very careful when you talk about switching from

the primary campaign to the general election campaign because everybody is really nervous about you. everybody really thinks you are going to go hog wild and go left to be moderate in the election. see saying that was incredibly stupid. i'm with you on that. i wish i had in money in etch a sketch, as well. once we get if romney wins the nomination, it will tempest in a tea cup. >> i'm seeing the commercials right now. the etch a sketch commercials, wish i kept mine. >> heather: i still have my etch and sketch. >> gregg: see my parents threw them out with the baseball cards >> i love it. >> i a mickey mantle. >> heather: nation's capital,

dismantling of the health care law. >> battle more the principles that are at stake in this case will go on in this election this year. they will go on this year. we have all heard in elections, but i think i can make the case that you will never live through a more important election than this year. >> reporter: congressional democrats likewise gearing up for a fight. congressional campaign using healthcare arguments to bolster their feavg. they characterize the republican strategy as swiss care of healthcare reform. >> there are anti-government ideologues that don't think the government should have a public safety, public education, public transportation, healthcare, medicare, social security, medicaid. any of it. no, but they love their medicare. except they don't realize there

is a public role there. >> reporter: tickets to the supreme court arguments are so in demand that on friday, some would be attendees were paying line sitters days in advance. >> heather: thank you. >> gregg: by the way, if you would like listen to the oral arguments on the healthcare law from the u.s. supreme court. they will be tape-recorded. we're go doing have full coverage monday and tuesday at 2:00 eastern on fox news radio. we're going to play them for you. you can listen to them and again wednesday at 4:00 eastern time or just log on to fox news radio so check it out. >> heather: in other news, a disturbing find at a california airport. montana man under arrest after trying to pass through security with four loaded guns. transportation security administration agents at sacramento international where they found three guns in a bag

belonging to harold waller. then they found a loaded gun. passengers hearing the news were shocked. >> there are a lot of whackos out there. you just never know who is armed. you have to protect yourself at all times. >> it's a tremendous amount of ammunition. he was planning on doing damage. >> he has some type of agenda that is scary. >> heather: agents found three knives on him and eight guns in his car. >> gregg: search is escalating for a missing 15-year-old california girl. f.b.i. joining local police in the search for sierra lamar. last seen for than a week ago walking to her school bus stop. search dogs losing her scent at the end of her driveway. complete strangers holding a vigil in her home down of morgan hill. her heartbroken mother hoping

she comes home safe. >> i feel guilty. i'm always where she is. if you can hear me, how much i love you and i want you back. i love you and i just want you back. >> gregg: heartbreaking. sierra cellphone and purse have been found along with some of her clothes, no signs of foul play. >> police are warning about a disturbing trend about people that use popular online sites to sell their belongings, it's called crime by appointment. thieves posing interested buyers online with intention of robbing you blind. casey stegall has more on this disturbing story. >> reporter: back in the day you wanted to sell that old sofa, maybe an old ring, would you take out an ad in your local penny saver or go to the local

newspaper. these days the prints classified seems archaic with online options. million peoples turning to craigslist to arrange face to face meetings. but cops say there is something about the internet that has people putting their guard down, they are more inclined to give out personal information and invite strangers into their homes. l.a. pd say the crimes by appointment may be more common in smaller towns instead of the major metro areas. >> i believe it's probably more prevalent where the criminals don't believe that the police can do anything about tracing them online. a department that does have that training can easily find somebody online. >> reporter: one of more recent incidents were caught on tape. a georgia man wearing a hidden

camera robbed at gunpoint in a grocery store parking lot after responding to an ad to buy an ipad. they say if you are one of people jumping online to buy or sell goods there are obvious things that consumers can do to play it safe. >> talk to them on the phone. get a sense. if they call you, keep a notice who they are. if they sound like you don't know what they are talking about they won't buy. >> reporter: it's such a problem in some cities like in oakland, california, the police department there has created a special task force just to investigate these types of crimes. so you have to be careful. it may sound like common sense, but you have to be careful with what you are doing in getting out to strangers on the internet these days. >> heather: if you can sell the

product at another location other than your home, that would be a good idea. thank you very much. >> gregg: he testified under oath. remember this? he had no idea how customer money vanished. well now ms global ceo jon corzine may have some explaining to do. potentially explosive e-mails telling a very different story. >> heather: and plus they say, timing is everything and why the united states and israel are looking at different clocks apparently when it comes to iran's nuclear program. former ambassador to the united nations john bolton joins us live. >> gregg: still ahead, honoring the fallen, how one church is paying special tribute to those that paid the ultimate price to keep all of us safe. bayer aspirin... ohh, no no no. i'm not having a heart attack, it's my head.

>> gregg: time for top of the news, tea party protestors staging a road to repeal rally in washington, arguments over president obama's health care law are set to be heard by the u.s. supreme court beginning monday. >> polls are open for the louisiana primary, voters choosing which g.o.p. candidate they would like to see face president obama in the fall. none of the candidates are campaigning there today. 20 delegates are up for grabs. pope benedict xvi condemning mexico's drug wars while urging catholics to resist the temptations on his first visit. he is spending three days in mexico and then to cuba. >> heather: president obama is attending a crucial world summit on nuclear weapons safety in south korea the goal is to find ways to secure nuke material and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. president calling the possibility the world's greatest

threat. this comes amid new concerns over a proposed long range rocket launched by north korea. warning that australia it would be aimed towards them. >> gregg: in iran, new urgency over the nuclear weapons suspected. with israel's defense minister the clock is tick go faster for israel than it is for the united states. he says his country doesn't have the reluctance waiting for economic sanctions or delaware to kick in because they have, dlpz and he is calling for any negotiations with iran to be begin a deadline. john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contributor joins us now from paris. i apologize we have a three second delay. what do you make of this latest story? >> i think defense minister

barak wants to find a way to convince president obama that it's hopeless to negotiate with iran. from his perspective saying that there should be a deadline on negotiations looks like a way to do that. the trouble with the defense minister's suggestion once we get into negotiations which could well start here in a few weeks, it becomes almost impossible to draw a line if the unions play it smart. they have done that in past. i don't see it producing the results that defense minister would hope to produce. >> gregg: is there any evidence that iran will bow to the current sanctions? >> i don't see any. i think the sanctions are imposing some economic cost on iran. i don't think there is much doubt of that. remember, these sanctions have been ratcheted up over the past six or seven years. the obama administration

director of national intelligence testified several weeks that the sanctions had no impact on iran's behavior or policy in the nuclear field. iran is working to evade the oil sanctions that have now been imposed. i don't see a determined iran which is very close to crossing the nuclear finishing line. i don't see the sanctions stopping. >> gregg: how close is that, ambassador, can you give us a time line? >> i don't think we can say for certain because our information about where iran is incomplete. if you listen to our defense secretary l 'papa -- leon pinetta. saying that many experts say it could happen within a year, given iran and progress they made it could be less than a year. i just say in uncertainty about when iran would have the capability shouldn't make us comfortable. what we don't know is undoubtedly bad news meaning

that iran would be closer than we fear. >> gregg: ambassador, i'm sure you get asked this question all the time. how do you see it playing out? what will happen? >> i think iran will play for time with diplomacy, with efforts to avoid sanctions. they have done it before. they have done it successfully. the real question what will israel do. i see zero chance the obama administration would use military force against iran's nuclear weapons program. israel, however, has not estate to strike hostile states with nuclear programs. it done it twice before. defense minister points out they don't have much time. so the spotlight is on israel. the pressure is on israel to make a decision whether it will use military force. i think that decision has to come soon. >> gregg: do you think that president obama fears an israeli attack more than he fears an

iran nuclear weapon? >> i'm afraid that is the only conclusion you can draw. president spends more time trying to pressure israel, trying to discourage israel, trying to paint a negative picture about what would happen if israel struck. almost no time explaining what is a much graver risk is with iran with nuclear weapons. the reason for that, obama administration's plan "b" is they can contain and deter a nuclear iran. i think it's did he luilgs. i think the risk is just more than nuclear iran. other states in the region would all get nuclear weapons themselves so the proliferation risk becomes even greater. >> gregg: ambassador, many thanks from paris, we appreciate your thoughts. >> heather: national healthcare

presidential race. let's bring in our power panel, political analyst. angela mcglowan and jehmu greene. thank you all for joining us. i'm going to start with you. some of the polls that are out, one we're going to be talking about specifically in our 2nd hour, rasmussen poll shows 56% of people want overall, obamacare repealed completely. so how do you think this is going to play into the 2012 election? >> i think it's going to be big. clearly we see a lot of tea party folks protesting already. like flies to honey. repealing obamacare but on the flip side, david axelrod, he said i love obamacare. democrats are starting to actually claim obamacare but at the end of the day, it is really

going to go down to independents. when independent women to start to understand they can month longer be charged 50% for premiums because they are women, that is the case of existed before obamacare, they are going to side with this administration. preexisting conditions, the mammograms and pre-screening zbleeth. >> you have the national smaul independent business owners and you have the head of the organization who is against the federal mandate by saying that the obama administration is forcing us to buy a product on a cadillac type salary but we are on kia salary so who is going to pay for it? a lot of people are having to fire people to pay for this. >> according to the non-partisan congressional budget committee.

the latest numbers, it means 800,000 fewer jobs in the next gate. >> we could pick those numbers. that is comparing to apples and oranges and ceo has said repealing the bill would lead to much higher deficits and job losses. let's go back to angela's point. 360,000 small businesses have already implemented increased healthcare and created two million jobs and they like it. i don't see more interest of going back to polling. one in seven americans, one in seven americans already think that the supreme court has repealed has struck down the affordable care act. when we look at the polls you need to realize when you do polling -- >> let's talk about facts and not rhetoric. >> when you give polling, that american public likes this bill. >> this would cost $390 billion.

they have said it's not going to increase, but you have democrat candidates running away from obamacare like a cat from hot water. >> and mandate was something that the heritage foundation backed by or inhatch but how is it going affect the election, it's going to turn out tea party and young people who can stay on their parents' plans until they are 26. people have a strong connection, guess what, i'm covered. i don't want this to go away. >> but despite businesses, you have a lot of people that want to be entrepreneurs graduating from college and not be able to find a job. >> the answer is yes whether it's going to a big issue in the election. >> and you mentioned whether it's going to be confrontational. i did want to talk about this one of our followers tweet this to us. i want your response to this. this is in reference to what is

happening next week specifically whether or not this is constitutional. katherine says the pundits always talk about how bad obamacare is from an economic -- we talked about that -- quality of care perspective. so many missed the point. it's liberty. it doesn't matter if obamacare is better for me or not. liberty isn't liberty if they don't have power to make their own decisions. >> that is true point. >> this is larger conversation. i think this is what we're going to be talking about in 2012, individual it will be what is in collective interests. i think jehmu is right, before president obama republicans liked the idea of mandate. >> gingrich made the statement. >> mccain, orrin hatch. >> the federal government,

telling you have to buy a product. they tell you have to motorcycle helmet on, you need insurance if you are driver. government tells you a lot of things. >> in many cases, we have to balance individual liberties for the health of the nation and for the health of our citizens and that is what this bill does. it is going to play big but at the end of the day independent voters are going to decide on it next thing we going to have buy life insurance because we're going to eventually die. >> the reality is, let's think about what the world was like before this. we had 36 million uninsured americans that were going to hospitals that cost was putting on private insurance companies. we were paying for it.

so all the rhetoric aside something had to be done. >> both sides agree that something needs to done done but the problem is in the details and who is going to pay for it. i got to talk about these polls. you brought up the gallup poll, it showed 72%, a lot of democrats not just independent voters says it needs to be repealed. it's not just independent pd voters or tea partiers. >> but we all know the way polls go. look, the larger issue in the election, regardless of what we think, we know and liberal democrats can agree when you poll on the specific aspects getting rid of live time ban on certain things -- people like them. but what do you think of the

thing as a whole. that is messaging problem for the president that they have to get over. >> it's -- you both know, it's rahm emanuel and nancy pelosi. [ talking over each other ] >> white house and congress have to do it. >> it was two years later so hopefully nancy pelosi has read the details now. >> harris: all right we're not done yet. what is wrong with having a best friend. we're going to talk about that next. one school banned students from declaring a best pal. while another school banned hugging? we're going to talk about it and we're going to hug this out in the break. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> heather: new legislation just passed a calling for an end to to racist language on the radio. it's the outrage of shock jock

that used a derogatory name that referred to whitney houston. they say it tramples on our freedom of speech. is there a better way to handle the situation. our power panel is back. so this is really a symbolic statement on behalf of the city council but they are saying, hey quit using this language on the radio. jehmu, start with you? >> we have to start this is america and regardless of what we like it or not, derogatory and racist language everybody can have their opinion and say it. i do have a problem with the slippery slope of the l.a. city council making a revolution of government entities stepping into this or resolution stepping into this. they can put out a press release they can speak and speeches but at the end of the day what is happening as we've seen with rush limbaugh and consumers

saying we reject this. we demand for clear channel and clear radio network to address these issues. that is where we really have to power. but we all have to embrace the fact we've gone way too far. >> so you don't agree with government regulations. >> i don't agree with censorship. so it is a city council making a resolution. >> we a are supposed to protect the consumer and we should have freedom of speech. i know herb weston who was part of the city council and they mean well but when it comes to listening to the radio and shock jocks i think it's up to parents to make sure that their children don't hear this. if it is and lyrics and music that we don't want our children to hear they shouldn't buy it. we do have whitney houston put out there to dry with such a tragic and they call her a crack

bleep. >> i agree with both of them. city councils across the country pass resolutions that are far more silly than this. to honor a tree in the name of blah-blah. but this is somewhat more substantive but saying there should be racist and sexist language and political airwaves that is not the same as seven censoring that speech but part of the solution is making sure there is more diversity on the airwaves. there are more women and more people of color. when you look across the country part of the issue we don't have, i don't mean it in tokenistic way.... >> because the airwaves belong to us. clear channel and even fox.

they have to be able to bow with the fcc to get their broadcast in and you can file a petition to deny. >> but we do need more women and more people of color. >> i'm all for diversity. >> no people of color. >> and next topic, new jersey school banning hugging. principal says it's reaction to unsuitable physical interaction. this is middle school and it comes the same week that the school in u.k. from declaring a best trend. is this an overreaction or can we expect to see rules like this spread to other schools. this really happened. we're not making this up. go ahead. >> ridiculous. [ laughter ] >> one word to describe it. i talked to my nieces they got into a spat. they had to work it out and i had them hug at the end.

>> heather: we begin on the campaign trail, voting underway in louisiana. rick santorum looking for a much needed win after losing in illinois to rival mitt romney. but romney is outpacing santorum in the race for critical delegates, 20 delegates up for grabs today. carl cameron live for us in new orleans with more. hi, campaign carl. >> hi. good afternoon. no question mitt romney is the national front runner with the lead in delegates. in louisiana. it's rick santorum who had the lead in the polls prior to today's primary voting and hopes it will be a big boost for him. today campaigning in santorum's home state, none other than newt gingrich, the former speaker of the house going to pennsylvania, essentially to criticize rick santorum as unelectable. take a listen. >> when i was speaker of the hours we led an effort to created four consecutive balanced budgets in a row. the only time in your lifetime that we had four consecutive

balanced budgets. we paid off $405 billion in federal debt during that period. by contrast, senator santorum was a member of the leadership that ran up a trillion, $700 billion in deficit, including the bridge to nowhere. in the process, set the stage in 2006 for the worst republican defeat since watergate. >> pennsylvania actually doesn't vote until april 24. the upcoming battle following today's contest in louisiana will be a week from next tuesday when wisconsin, maryland and district of columbia vote. wisconsin, rick santorum was campaigning today and suggested it's now time for he and front runner mitt romney to engage in a one on one degate. essentially leaves newt gingrich and ron paul sidelined in santorum's view of their relevance and puts the race as two-person contest, which is important for mr. santorum 'cause he argues that's the best way for him to continue, even though he face has steep climb in the delegate count for mitt romney, he's taking this day

off. he did come and campaign in new orleans for one day, but his campaign didn't put any money on the air. the super pac that supports him has done so. but leading into this, every single poll, several in the last week and a half, in santorum with a comfortable lead and by most accounts, barring very, very surprising upset from mitt romney, santorum will pick up the lion's share of the delegates tonight. that's not to say mitt romney as well as newt gingrich may get a few of their own. 20 all in all up for grabs and the polls close at 7:00 o'clock local 8:00 o'clock eastern time. now back to new york. >> thank you very much. carl cameron reporting live from new orleans. keep it right here on fox and we will have the results for you as they come in throughout the evening. >> gregg: there are new calls from critics and activists opposed to president obama's health care overhaul. about 1,000 tea party members gathering in washington less than 48 hours before. u.s. supreme court expected to hear arguments on the constitutionality of that law.

doug is live in washington with more. hi. >> rick: good evening. steady drizzle may have kept the crowds numbers down. 1,000 people as you said. far cry from the tens of thousands who protested more than two years ago when the affordable care act was passed. this time they're putting their hopes in two venues. the supreme court, which will hear three days of oral arguments on the constitutionality of the health care law beginning monday, and in congress, which they hope will dismantle the health care law should republicans win majorities in both houses in the 2012 election. >> the battle for the principles that are at stake in this case will go on in these elections this year. they will go on this year and you know, we've all heard the hyperbole in election, but i think i can make the case that you will never live through a more important election than this year. >> meanwhile, the democratic congressional campaign committee using the supreme court oral arguments on money to bolster

their fundraising. telling forkers that all financial gifts will be matched two to one by a group of committed democrats tripling the impact. house minority leader nancy pelosi expressing optimism to reporters yesterday about the high court decision to come. >> it's pretty historic and we believe that we knew what we were doing when we wrote the bill, that it can -- i think most lawyers that are reviewing it are saying that it is a constitutional act. we'll see what the justices say. >> abc news "washington post" poll released monday indicates that 6% of americans believe the -- 67% of americans believe they should get rid of it or eliminate the mandate requiring all americans to be insured or pay a fine. back to new york. >> gregg: doug, thanks very much, doug. >> heather: new developments in the investigation of the bankruptcy of firm m.f. global. the firm once led by former u.s. senator and new jersey governor

john car zion, $1.6 billion of protected customer's money, vanished. a probe into the collapse unearthing an e-mail apparently contradicting corzine's sworn congressional testimony. the document stating corzine ordered the improper use of $200 million in customer funds. corzine's spokesman says he stands by his testimony. james rosen has the story in washington. >> hello from washington. when the new york brokerage and commodities firm, mf global collapsed in the last week of october, it marked the eighth largest bankruptcy in u.s. history. what's more, the firm's 38,000 customers, farmers, ranchers, abibusiness types were out of money, 1.6 billion in customer funds which were supposed to be kept separate from the firm's own money, mysteriously went missing. at least six investigations by lawmakers, federal regulatory and the department of justice are underway trying to determine

if in their last week somebody improperly raided those customer accounts to make up for cash shortfalls elsewhere in the firm. at three congressional hearings in december, the former ceo, jon corzine, democratic former governor and senator from new jersey, swore under oath that he did nothing to encourage the inappropriate raiding of those so-called segregated accounts. >> i never authorized anyone use customer funds to make a loan or transfer of funds. i never intended to, nor do i think i said anything that could have been construed to do that. >> now the same panel where corzine testified, the house financial services subcommittee on oversite and investigations, says it has unearthed an e-mail from mf global's assistant treasure, edith o'brien, saying it was on corzine's direct instructions that 200 million was taken from a customer account and transferred to an overseas account to make up for a shortfall. that directly contradicts his sworn testimony and miss

o'brien, among others, will face the panel's questioning at a hearing on wednesday. heather? >> heather: james rosen reporting for us from washington, thank you. >> gregg: intense fighting erupt not guilty syria. new amateur videotape showing massive explosions there. activists saying government forces are shelling in neighborhoods. the central city of homs. they claim syrian troops tried to wear down resistance before storming the area. syrian forces and tanks reportedly facing off against army defectors in the northeast. opposition groups say the new fighting has killed at least 24 people in that city. >> heather: deadly and dangerous new crime wave happening all around the country. the so-called robbery by appointment. it's when criminals show up to buy items that people are selling over the internet. in one case, a man was murdered for a diamond ring. casey stegall joins us live from our los angeles news room with more on this. hi, saysy. >> hi. that incident that you're

talking about happened in washington state where a man was shot to death after thieves showed up at his house, supposedly to buy a diamond ring that he was selling on the internet. frankly, it is just one of many horror stories that are starting to crop up across america. doing business on the internet these days is about a whole lot more than just protecting your identity and securing your personal information. obviously with millions of people turning to these sites like craigslist and backpage to arrange face-to-face meetings and sell their goods, thieves are posing as potential buyers and sellers. the problem has become so huge in some cities, police launched special task forces just to investigate this specifically. >> it's not a big city issue. it's not a small town issue. it's world wide issue. all police officers will have to have some training. that's from the beat cop on up.

>> earlier this year, police were able to arrest two men they say assaulted a potential buyer looking to pick up an ipad off craigslist. he was robbed at gun point in a georgia grocery store parking lot, but he had a hidden camera. with the public's help, cops were able to nab their suspects. experts say use common sense here. meet in a public place to do these transactions. do not go alone. and try to vet the person you're meeting if you are the seller. many of these same rules apply. >> you have big pieces of furniture, instead of inviting them into your house, upstairs to your bedroom to look at them, put them into your garage or put them outside on your patio if the weather is good so people don't have to go into your house to see them. >> you should always go with your gut. it sounds like common sense, but if something does not feel right and if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is,

heather. >> heather: yep. try to have someone with you, too. would be good advice. thank you very much, casey. we appreciate it. >> and porsche is recalling some of its vehicles to fix possible fuel leaks. listen to this. the recall involving 1200, 911 carrara sports cars. a fuel line can become loose and cause a fire in and a loss of power and crash. the porsche saying it doesn't really know of any incidents related to this. the car maker claiming dealers can fix and replace the faulty parts. >> heather: going to have to get your porsche checked. >> gregg: i don't have a porsche. trust me. >> heather: hippy van? >> above -- mini van? >> gregg: bicycle. >> heather: new concerns over a doomsday scenario for mitt romney. what does it mean if he fails to secure enough support to win his party's nomination? can he count on the super

and ron, former communications director to house speaker dennis hastert. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> heather: so as a means of an explanation for our viewer, 123 super delegates, they will attend the republican national convention in tampa this august. they're voting delegates who are not elected or appointed, but included by virtue of their party roles. nearly every state and territory, gop chairman, rnc chairman and rnc committee woman, hold the status. romney already enjoys the backing of 33 of these automatic rnc delegates. if it comes down to his needing the super delegates, can he do it? can he count on their support? ron, i'll start with you. >> that's a great question. it's really going to depend on how many super delegates he needs, how close he is. what's really important here is that these are mostly going to be establishment type republicans that have rnc positions. he enjoys 33. he's going to need -- he may

need as many as 90 more. however, i think mitt romney is not going to need this. i think he's going to make the nomination. most people want this -- most republicans want this wrapped up. they're tired of the dragging out. but if he foods super delegates, i do think they're going to swing his way. >> gregg: tim, here -- >> heather: tim, hundreds more will be free o support any delegate in tampa. there is 430 unbound delegates that will vote at the national convention, lying the super delegates we talked about. so do you think that he can do it and get the support needed if it comes down to it? >> w i think ron is right. that the super delegates really represent the establishment elite of the republican party. and what's interesting to me is that if we get to a point where mitt romney needs the establishment elite to get him across the finish line, it really only reinforces the things about mitt romney that a lot of republicans and other folks really don't like about mitt romney.

i think what's most interesting as you start talking about the convention and the idea of super delegates being needed is you have a lot of republicans harkening back to the democratic 2008 primary. it's a really different situation today. in 2008, you had two candidates the democrats really liked. today you're in a situation where people are still talking about the hail mary kind of mitch daniels or chris christie. you have people saying forget about the presidency and focus on down ballot. the fact that we're having this conversation about a brokered convention pourtends badly for mitt romney. >> heather: we pulled a couple article, when you go back to the election between hillary clinton and president obama and they were vying for those super delegates when it came down to it. and that's another question that i had: what is really, do you think, going on behind the scenes in terms of campaigning for those super delegates? what do you think is being done and how do you campaign for that? tim?

>> well, i think that is the place where mitt romney has a lot better of a strategy. i think rick santorum is still kind of the guy in the truck with one campaigner going around iowa. i'm not sure that he's campaign has really gotten about that. he's more of a grassroots, conservative base type of guy. if it comes down to these super delegates and the establishment, mitt romney is going to be in a much better position than santorum or anyone else. >> heather: what do you think, ron? >> last summer mitt romney's campaign is telling people that they were prepared for a long grind. they knew this could be a possibility. they have been preparing for the trench warfare. they've been doing the math and trying to sell the math to the media and to the public that they're going to take the nomination. i think they're ready for it and they're talking to super delegates, as we speak probably. they're working overtime on it. i think tim is also right that rick santorum does not have the type of organization. he's relying on the social conservative base of the party

to come to his defense and count on those unbound delegates to try to get him or keep him involved. >> heather: we have about a minute left, i want to ask about the gingrich factor. newt gingrich has said that he is staying in this race. he will make it to the convention. in order to keep romney from getting to that magic 1144 number, he says that's his goal. could he get in the way of romney's getting the much needed number of super delegates, the gingrich factor? >> it's an -- there is an interesting rnc rule that if newt gingrich can -- the only way he can get to the convention is if he places with a plurality of five states. that means he has to do very well in five states. so far he's done well in two. so in order to even get himself into the convention, he has to follow the rnc rules. so it's going to be tough for him to pull off. however, he's going to run a shadow campaign, obviously. >> heather: tim, quickly, your

comment? >> look, i think if newt gingrich wants to prevent mitt romney from getting the nomination, one thing he can do is drop out of the race and get behind rick santorum. the only think he's doing is siphoning off conservative votes. >> heather: tonight, louisiana, 20 delegates up for grabs. thank you to both of you for your insight. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> gregg: flag for every fallen soldier. more than 6,000 stars and stripes displayed at a church in middletown, new jersey. so-called field of flags, tribute honoring the u.s. military. servicemen and women who died fight not guilty iraq and afghanistan. now the story live outside westminster presbyterian church. hi, anna. >> 6399 casualties since the start of the wars in both iraq and afghanistan. now that is the number of flags on the lawn at westminster

presbyterian church. it's part of this field of flag, a traveling memorial being set up at churches across the country. this congregation today held a very special and patriotic service. hundreds came out to pay their final respects to fallen soldiers. the 117 names of soldiers lost from new jersey alone were read aloud. taps, a bagpipe prelude and "amazing grace." a member here at the church, julie bare, lost her 23-year-old cousin, u.s. army lieutenant dennis. it was her idea to bring the tribute here. she says they were a close-knit family and they sorely miss dennis. >> whenever we see a name in a paper or see a flag, we know the price that was paid and we understand what that family is going through and how they will mourn forever. >> the field of flags was started at summer's congregation church in summerrers,

connecticut in 2005 and since then, the memorial has traveled to 55 churches in eight separate states. the pastor here at westminster says this town is connected to the conflicts overseas because middle town lost more people on 9-11 than any other community in new jersey. >> that's why we're doing it. we want to keep the memory alive. they deserve our respect. we're a patriotic community of faith. and we believe strongly in the ideals and institutions of the united states. >> the flags will stay at each location for three weeks and volunteers pack them up and move them along to other churches. each church is not asked to make a payment, but they are asked to make a donation. back to you. >> gregg: anna, thank you very much. >> heather: amazing sight there. we were wondering how long it takes to set up all those flags. >> gregg: a lot of time. >> heather: unfortunately, the number increasing. an incredible sight in the skies to show you. a dangerous funnel cloud caught

on camera. a look at the damage and the destruction that it caused. >> gregg: and the power of the pope. the holy see drawing massive emotional crowds on his first papal visit to one nation battered by drug violence. >> heather: and sink your teeth into this. a rare poster from a dracula movie. find out how much the famous vampire fetched on the auction block.

o >> gregg: welcome back. bottom of the hour. time for top of the news. polls are open in louisiana where republicans are voting for a presidential nominee. rick santorum hoping for a win, following a loss to mitt romney in illinois. 20 delegates now at stake. >> heather: the pope's first

papal visit to mexico is proving to be an emotional one. crowds of people packing the streets trying to get a glimpse of the holy see. >> gregg: a collection of rare movie posters fetching over a half million dollars. bidders sinking their teeth into a 1931 poster for the movie "dracula." selling for 143,000 bucks. really? seriously? >> heather: severe storms tearing through southern illinois yesterday. tornadoes, like the one you see here, touching down in jackson county. now a new round of powerful storms expected to strike all along the east and west coast. maria molina is live in the fox extreme weather center with more. hi, maria. >> hi. good to see you. unfortunately, we'll be looking at more severe weather going on actually right now through this evening into the nighttime hours. that storm system that you mentioned that produced severe weather yesterday is further off to the east today bringing in

showers and thunderstorms from the northeast all the way down into parts of florida and we received about 20 reports of tornadoes yesterday stretching across areas not just southern illinois, but also across portions of ohio, kentucky, parts of alabama and georgia. we're already seeing some tornado warnings in effect right now across portions of western virginia. you can see we have a number of watches stretching from parts of west virginia in through northeastern florida and basically what these watches mean is that there are conditions favorable for strong storms to develop. that could produce severe weather. not just in the form of tornado, but large hail and danieling wind gust which can cause damage. we want to focus in on our tornado watches in effect until 11:00 p.m. tonight eastern time, including southern parts of virginia and also central north carolina. you can see those tornado warnings right now just to the west of danville. these storms are moving rapidly towards the northeast. when a warning is issued for your area, seek shelter immediately. go to a basement or try to stay away from windows into the lowest area of your home.

this is something we'll continue to track. otherwise, the other big weather story is just how incredibly warm it's been over the past several days across portions of the midwest and today is no exception. well above average across iowa, dakotas, and parts of minnesota. look at kansas city, 75 degrees for your high today. that's 18 degrees above average. one city in particular, chicago, broke all kinds of records over the past several days. starting on the 14th of march, through the 22, all of these areas or numbers shaded in yellow are actually temperatures that were breaking records as far as how warm they were or tied a record. incredibly warm out there. we almost made it to 90 degrees on the 21st. incredible stuff. as wehood into the second half of the weekend, more warmth in store for the center of the nation where we're expecting quiet weather as well. >> heather: hopefully the severe storms will subside along the east coast. thank you very much, maria. >> gregg: all right. how about this? a letter written by osama bin laden's media advisor now

shedding new light into the terror leader's apparent obsession with the news media. this letter is written by american born jihaddist. in it, he evaluates several american news networks, including fox news. even discussing ways control media coverage of al-qaeda. here with us now is author and journalist liz, fox news contributor. what do you make of this? >> it's a classic propaganda school. the week began by announcing that these papers -- this information was taken from papers that were in the osama bin laden compound and these are the papers that the seals brought back. and david ignatius, columnist with the "washington post," was fortunate enough to get a look at this. he had two columns this week. the first one dealt with how it's obama dictating to one of his wives, a letter to his top lieutenant saying that he wanted

to kill osama bin laden and general david petraeus. that was pretty much dismissed by the american authorities as a lot of muster. but it's the second batch of documents or second column that david ignatius hones in on that is about this media strategy and osama bin laden, who can forget the last video we saw of him in front of his own television set in that musty hideout watching himself? so he was hooked on -- he was quite a nare city cyst. he gets a letter from his quote, unquote, media advise error. and that's adam gadan, also known at his birth as adam pearlman. he was from california, the grandson of a doctor, by the way, who served on the board of the jewish antidefamation league. and i see the quotes up already.

let's take a look at one of the things that he said to obama. osama, excuse me. adam discusses how to game the coverage. bin laden could offer an exclusive press scoop to one network, but better to spread the material so that there will be healthy competition. as for the printer list, he suggests informing 30 to 40 of them that they've been selected to receive special media treatment for the 9-11 anniversary. this is his recommendation for covering the 10th anniversary of 9-11 and it's the old trick of dangling before the networks something really special. now, this kind of stuff has been done by dictators both left and right since the beginning of journalism. we have the ayatollah from iran. we have ahmadinejab from iran. we have castro from cuba. all of them, even though against the united states, very

successful in luring one of the networks, often "60 minutes," to come and be interviewed. of course, they get the propaganda value out of it and of course, the correspondent and the network gets their scoop. but is it in the interest of america? usually not. so they're playing that old game again in this letter. >> gregg: liz with her commentary, as always, thank you very much, liz. >> thank you, gregg. >> heather: the deadly shooting of an unarmed teen-ager in florida raising new questions about a controversial state law called the stand your ground law. the tragic death of trayvon martin focusing new attention on it. up next, gregg will talk with judge jeanine pirro about whether this law applies to this case. stay tuned.

you believe you're being confronted with deadly physical force, you can return force with force and then you're not responsible or liable for homicide. >> gregg: here is the deal, it wasn't in a home, here. right? >> right. but that's what the law allows, gregg. the law allows a person, the shooter to say, even though i wasn't in my home, because of this stand your ground, i can stand my ground literally and not move and return force with force. now, the issue. >> gregg: what do you make of his explanation? >> the issue, gregg, is was force being used against the shooter? the shooter calls 911 and in this case, gregg, we have a lot of circumstances that surround the shooting and corroborating evidence that we don't normally have. for example, in the 911 call, the shooter says, we've had some break-ins in our neighborhood and there is this really suspicious guy. he looks like he's up to no good. he's on drugs or something. he's walking -- i mean, come on.

and then the dispatch says, do not pursue. are you following him? don't pursue. now we are outside of stand your ground because if you pursue and if you confront, that protection doesn't apply to you if you kill someone. >> gregg: does the gunman have to abide by the instructions from 911? >> no. the instructions from 911 was, do not follow. do not pursue. basically stand down. now, is there a law or a charge that can be brought against zimmerman for not standing down? no. but what it does is it gives us some corroboration and some insight into his mind. why does he say this guy is up to no good? why does he say these people get away? what's his intent? why is he a part of neighborhood watch? >> gregg: is his intent to go after somebody that he just doesn't like based on race? >> we don't know that yet. it's too soon, gregg. but what we do know is that the

fire storm that this case has created will cause 17 states that already have stand your ground and people across this country to say is this the kind of law that we want? the law itself and the legislator who created it, wrote it said, wait a minute. this is a good law. this does apply to people who are pursuing and confronting people. but right now we don't know the facts yet. what we do know -- >> gregg: what do you need to know? >> a 17-year-old with a bag of skittles and ice tea is dead and the guy with a .9 millimeter. >> gregg: what do you need to know? >> i need to hear what the other witnesses have to say. i also want to know, trayvon martin, was his body like? if this shooter says he has an injury and has blood on his face, was trayvon beaten as well? we know he was talking to his girlfriend and he said, i'm being followed. the guy is still following me. the girlfriend says run, run. and he had, but i don't want to run. this kid is just minding his own business in a place where he had a right to be.

>> gregg: what's going to happen? >> i don't know. but tonight on my show at 9:00 o'clock, we've got one of the city commissioners from sanford, florida, who says that she supports the police. she is going to give us some information. it's an exclusive and her reason why she doesn't think there was any wrongdoing by the police. >> gregg: what happens? >> the feds are involved for the purpose of deciding whether or not there should be a civil rights -- whether this is a hate crime based on race. what we have right now is a special prosecutor who has been assigned to this case who will get to the bottom of it and you know what? it's not too soon to get moving on it. i've handled homicides. it doesn't take forever. >> gregg: it does not smell good. right? >> smells real bad to me. but we'll see. >> gregg: judge jeanine pirro, thank you very much. tonight "justice" with judge jeanine exclusive interview with the sanford city commissioner, patty mahaney at 9:00 p.m. eastern time right history on the fox news channel. got to watch it.

>> heather: new polls as all eyes turn to the supreme court. the justices hearing actors on the constitutionality of president obama's health care overhaul. the latest polling from rasmussen reports showing a solid majority, 56% of americans want to repeal the law. this is actually another story that we had talked about earlier in the day. that was tragic fire in west virginia taking a family. but right now we're talking about the rasmussen reports polls and gregg will join us. so is scott rasmussen, the president of rasmussen reports.com. hi, scott, how are you? >> hi. good. >> gregg: tell us about these numbers on health care, scott.

>> the biggest thing in these numbers is they haven't budged. two years ago, right after the law was passed, 54% wanted it repealed. if you went back a year before that, the number who opposed the bill and didn't want it to become law was about the same. the demographics remind the same. democrats still like the law. they don't want to see it repealed. republicans and unaffiliated voters want it repealed. that's been true for years. senior citizens are more opposed to the law than younger voters. that's big deal for two reasons. one, seniors vote more often and two, they see the doctor a whole lot more than younger folks. >> heather: what about the perceived impact, the impact that the health care law is having on americans? >> couple of years ago, the democrats were saying that this law -- they were proud of themselves. they put all the benefits up front, some freebies they thought and the cost would come later t. hasn't happened. 57% say no impact so far. among those who do have an impact, twice as many say

they've been hurt by the law. i think what's happening, well, people, any time something goes wrong, if their co-pay goes up, hassled by the insurance company, they say it's the new health care law. >> gregg: scott, i take the train every day, so i almost never drive my car. but i did have to fill up the other day and i got to tell you, i was stunned when i went to the -- i had to stick in my credit card and oh, my lord almighty. so talk to us about the impact of gas prices. >> well, gas prices obviously a huge factor in consumer confidence and right now, seven out of ten americans say that the nation is not doing enough to develop its gas and oil resources right here in this country. only 20% think enough is being done. huge gap here, bit way, between the political class and main stream. 54% of political class voters say we're doing plenty to find oil and gas. 77% in the main stream say no, we're not. >> heather: no doubt, this issue is going to play in big time

with the political -- the 2012 election for president. so what should be done? what do people think needs to be done in terms of bringing these gas prices down? >> they like the slogan the president is using about all of the above. they'd like to see anything done because americans want to see more energy sources developed rather than focusing more on conservation. but when you ask about specifics, 67% now favor offshore oil drilling. that's near the highest ever. support for offshore drilling fell a bit a couple of years ago when we had the spill. but it's work its way back up now as gas prices rise. >> gregg: yeah. scott, we don't have a graphic for this, but talk to us about some of your latest polling data on the presidential election. what do you find? >> right now in the presidential election, mitt romney and president obama are tied at 44% each. rick santorum trails the

president by five points. if you take a look at the bigger picture, the president's job approval has come back from its lows from last summer and it's in territory where this election would be a toss-up. it's moving with perceptions of personal finances. so gregg, if people feel better about their finances in october, the president will be doing better than he is today. >> gregg: i wonder how much of this is tie to do offshore drilling because that's huge issue even the president was addressing this weekend. what did you find? >> well, people like the idea of offshore drilling. 62% believe that if we do more drilling, it will reduce the price of gas and oil. it's really more about this general attitude. people believe we can find more energy sources in an environmentally friendly way. they believe that government restrictions are keeping the price of gas artificially high. they want to see something done about that.

it's really a frustrating position for most americans because unlike you, gregg, most people are filling up their gas tank once a week and for half of all americans, they don't have any money left over at the end of the month when their bills are paid, they have a certain amount to spend on gas and food. price of gas goes ups, they spend less on groceries. >> gregg: i really feel for them. i truly i fill up every couple of months 'cause i take the train every day. i never drive my car. >> heather: very lucky. >> gregg: most americans don't have that luck. all right. >> heather: thank you. >> gregg: thank you so much. >> thank you. >> heather: that does it for us. don't forget tonight, louisiana, all eyes there. >> gregg: big contest tonight. rick folbaum, arthel neville taking over, top of the hour. have a great weekend, everybody. bye-bye. bye.
