>> gretchen: we're going to try to do the same thing in the after the show show. join us. log on for the after the show show. have a fantastic bohemian rhapsody kind of a weekend. bill: he has got nothing on freddie mercury, nothing. lining up to become a half a billionaire. millions made it to the local store, gas station, deli, to take a shot at the lottery. there is live look at lines in new york city, washington, dallas, chicago. some states selling millions of tickets every hour. $540 million on the line. the right numbers and you're hanging out with donald trump. actually you're hanging out with whomever you want. if you buy 50 tickets a week, martha, you would win the jackpot every 68,000 years. those are your chances. martha: bought a ticket. first ticket in my life. why is it so crowded at the

newsstand i'm only out five bucks either way. can't be that bad. good morning, everybody, i'm martha maccallum. glad to have you with us today. it is a world record. but we've been telling you that the actual odds of walking away with a grand prize is depressing 1 in 176 million. as i say somebody will win, bill. might be you or me or ben or somebody. bill: state governments looking at big tax dollars. some of the states surely in tough times hoping a hometown winner will bring the tax bonanza. stuart varney, fox business network has the business side. good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: how will the state benefit? >> you saided right word, bonanza for the 42 states selling these tickets. new york state right now, one of the states selling tickets, 1.3 million tickets are being sold each and every hour. 1.2 billion tickets have been sold so far in the 42 states. think about it.

1.2 billion tickets at a dollar a time. yet the total prize is 540 million? that means the states have already taken about half, 50 cents on every dollar that they take in. they have taken half right off the top. there is a 90% chance that we will have a winner tonight. that means the taxman wins all over again because that winning amount is taxable at the state and at the federal level. bill: that is pretty good chance at 90%. if there is not a winner now could go to a billion dollars. what do you do with the money? from financial perspective? >> well, okay, if you want to be absolutely dead safe, maybe you could put it into five-year treasury security that yields 1.02%. bill: that's boring. >> if you put $200 million into that you earn 2 million and $40,000 per year interest. that is not a very good idea. you want my ideas? bill: i'm waiting on it. >> all right. if i won, number one, you pay off all the debt for all your family members.

that is nice thing to do. bill: okay. >> number two, buy the nice house, nice car, toys you always wanted. you can afford. $5 million into money fund. that is your crazy spending money. number four, all the rest goes into stocks, bonds, gold and land. number five, most important, you don't do anything else for 18 months. you don't spend anymore. don't invest anymore. you get used to being rich. you keep it. bill: i like it. you know you have a better chance being struck by lightning in your lifetime than winning. >> got a better chance being president of the united states unless you were born overseas. bill: vote for varn nismt we change the constitution you might have a chance my british friend. martha: i think that is good plan. i will call stuart right away. go over that ten by step. i'm calling it solyndra lottery. same amount of money we spent on solyndra. bill: that would be a better investment. martha: i don't think you have to worry about, keep a little bit of that savings.

you don't have to worry about frittering that money away. the mega millions haul is peanuts compared to the federal budget. the republican controlled house passed congressman paul ryan's $3.6 billion budget. 10 republicans defected joining democrats who voted against the bill. critics argue it would put a burden on middle class and seniors. ryan told greta there are across-the-board cuts. somebody must do something about this debt. >> we see things differently. we think we're on the wrong track. we think the president is bringing us toward a debt crisis by not acting and taking responsibility. >> who is getting hit in this? who will be unhappy? >> every government agency across the board gets cut. we take the money from the pentagon. >> how much? >> $300 million off the pentagon's base budget. martha: ryan budget was dead on arrival in the united

states senate. the other news he endorsed mitt romney. bill: indeed throwing his support behind the republican frontrunner. he made the news moments ago on "fox & friends." endorsing the former governor of massachusetts. reports suggest that ryan called rick santorum as a courtesy to let him know about that. ryan a conservative favorite. the news undercuts santorum's case that he can rally the conservative base. there is a vote in his home state next tuesday in wisconsin. martha: ryan has that endorsement as we mentioned. that is nothing compared to the gigantic endorsement that mitt romney received from that gentleman in the middle. picture. former president george herbert walker bush announced he and which is wife are backing the president. that is the biggest endorsement so far. the president expressed a extreme gratitude for the republican icon. watch this. >> barbara and i are very proud to fully and enthusiastically and endorse and support our old friend, mitt romney. he is a good man.

he will make a great president. and we just wish him well. i do think it is time for the party to get behind governor romney and reminding me, kenny rogers, time when to hold them and time when to fold them. i think it is time for people to get behind this good man. >> i'm honored to have your endorsement and your support. the president indicated we've been friends for some time. my parents were also friends of the president and first lady. having your support means a great deal to me on a personal basis, family basis and also on a national basis. martha: there you have it. nice moment between all of them yesterday. romney's also got jeb bush's support as well as florida senator marco rubio. he has racked up some very big names over the course of the last week. bill: big name. that is picture his campaign wants to have. election watchers say the pennsylvania primary later in april might be the last chance for rick santorum. first there is wisconsin.

latest nbc poll in wisconsin showing mitt romney ahead with 40% of likely voters. santorum checks in with 33% and santorum and gingrich rounds out the top four. latest real clear politics average putting all the polling together. romney has 42% of that vote in wisconsin. martha: this is a fox news alert as we wait for a news conference just minutes away now that will deal with those raging deadly wildfires we've been watching this week in colorado. the governor there is getting first-hand look himself at the devastation riding around in this national guard helicopter to get a closer look at all of this. some residents are claiming they never got a warning from authorities to evacuate their homes. that has been a big story in all of this. alicia acuna is looking at it from aspen park, colorado for the very latest. alicia, what are officials saying about the claims that people didn't get a warning and some cases were told they should stay put?

>> reporter: well, martha, we're going to actually hear more on that here as you mentioned in a press conference right where i'm standing in about 25 minutes. so far the jefferson county sheriff's department is blaming a software glitch on that 12% of that burn area that didn't receive the reverse 911 call. however the president of the company that provides that service, first call network, is saying that the service worked just fine. folks didn't get a call didn't pick up the phone or had disconnected service. cole meyer was in that area and did not receive a reverse 911 call. take a listen. >> all day long i kept checking the fire and kept getting closer. i never heard anything. when i finally left, i left five minutes, 10 minutes ahead of the fire taking my home which is a black hole in the earth. >> reporter: the sheriff's department is saying martha, folks don't have to have official word. if they see smoke and fire heading toward their home they should just get out. back to you. >> good sense indeed. what are the expectation

that is the firefighters have as their look at their battle today? >> reporter: there is cautious optimism today that they can extend that fire line. that crews have been really been taking advantage of the milder weather and today is going to prove critical because the expectation is this weekend that temperatures are going to heat up. the wind will be much stronger. the power company has gotten back into that area. they're trying to get electricity back up and some 200 folks are trying to get back into their homes. they're waiting for official word that they can get back in but they have been warned, if they get back in they have to be ready to leave in a moment's notice. we'll get update on containment in about 20, 25 minutes. back to you. martha: unbelievable. all the burnt out homes and cars. alicia, thank you, we'll keep an eye on that news conference. bill: we talked to the family yesterday on the air and they just barely got out. martha: they were told to stay put yeah. bill: exactly. they drove half a mile before the clouds broke in the air. by the way, you have a better chance, my lady.

martha: i do? bill: from a hornet or bee sting in your lifetime. martha: i thought you said if you were a woman, maybe odds are in favor of women. bill: than you do of winning that lottery. more stories in "america's newsroom." new details about osama bin laden's life on the run. wait until you hear what he was up while avoiding u.s. capture. martha: he was busy. bill: man, sure was. martha: plus president obama hitting tax breaks for oil companies but congress does not agree including some members of his own party. bill: busting out a little bohemian rhapsody while underarrest. he has nothing on -- >> ♪ is this just fantasy, caught in a landslide, no escape from reality ♪. bill: so fitting. martha: my favorite. bill: so this song goes on for 23 minutes. and he sang every word. the story behind that video. martha: got the lyrics down.

[ sighs ] forget it. [ male announcer ] there's more barbeque time in every bag of kingsford charcoal. kingsford. slow down and grill.

martha: there's new deadly violence that has erupted in a city just south of the border of el paso, texas. gun men killing five police officers in juarez. reports of two others wounded. the reports come only a day after police were allowed to return home after living in hotels for their own protection. drug cartels threatened to kill an officer every day unless the police chief resigns. bill: president obama's urging the american people to stand with him and end tax breaks for oil companies. yesterday the president said in the rose garden that people are getting hit twice, once at the pump and again

sending billions of dollars in tax subsidies to oil companies. listen here. >> with record profits and rising production i'm not worried about the big oil companies. with high oil prices around the world they have got more than enough incentive to produce even more. instead of taxpayer givewayses to an industry that's never been more profitable, we should be using that money to double down on investments in clean energy technologies that have never been more promising. bill: at the moment, national average for gasoline, almost four bucks across the country. 3.93 right now. michigan congressman fred upton has been on this topic. chairman of the house energy and commerce committee. sir, good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: quickly after that statement there was a vote on other side of congress there was a vote with defeat with help of some other democrats. >> not only defeated in the senate yesterday, it was part of the senate's budget we soundly defeated two

nights ago, 414-0. not a single democrat stood up. that was major plank of the dem president's budget. the bottom line is this, we consume as a nation 18 million barrels a day of transportation fuels. we only produce seven or eight million. so we want incentives, we don't want to be so reliant on the middle east. we want more domestic resources here and if you take away incentives here, they will go other places and make us even more dependent on foreign oil. that is not answer. bill: many argue that money goes where it is welcome. if it is not welcome here it will find a way to somewhere else. take the president's argument, that money being subsidized to oil companies, by the way, we did a bit of research here. the oil and gas companies receive tax breaks equivalent of what the government spends in 15 hours. his argument is that you take money away from the oil companies and give it to green energy. do you like that idea? >> well, remember when the

wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine you have to have backup energy. a lot of that is, wind and solar. a lot of that, renewable energy, you've got to have the backup for that. frankly, the renewable energy sources are sometimes six or seven times higher than what it is for clean coal or even nuclear. bill: is he right to equate the fact that americans are getting hit twice? >> no, i don't think so. we want incentives to drill here. bill: what is the logic there then? >> well, let's just look at this last year. we produced 100 million barrels less on federal lands than the year before. they have stopped leases in utah. they have in essence said no to additional drilling permits in the gulf, that is responsible for a third of our oil. you look off the coast of alaska where it took an act of congress actually to try and allow shell, which spent $4 billion to try and drill

two test wells off the coast of alaska where they think there could be billions of barrels underneath without those incentives, they are going to go someplace else. don't we want to produce energy here? bill: ed henry at the white house yesterday during the press briefing, our fox correspondent there. he asked jay carney about the president's vote as senator in favor of oil subsidies. i want to play that for you. get your reaction after this. >> i haven't examined the vote or what prices were at the time or whole bill it was attached to. what i know and what the president knows is that this year, in 2012, when we are seeing high prices at pump, high prices on international oil market, and record profits from the oil and gas companies, there is no reason to continue these kinds of subsidies. take that argument out to the people. i don't think they will go alongwith it. bill: what do you think of that argument? >> what do i think? they have a lot higher taxes in europe and they're paying

about eight or nine bucks a gallon. we've seen china, there was report yesterday, china tripled their oil consumption over the last 10 years. report today, japan, because of the fukushima, they're using a lot more oil for electricity production. so, when you're a country that really has to import quite a bit of oil, particularly for transportation, as world demand begins to increase as it is doing now, there is only one thing that happens. that means that the price at the pump is going to go up. we're more than twice as high as when the president took office and you can't continue to say no to an all of the above strategy as this administration has done without really tough consequences that are truly impacting millions of americans across the country and, particularly low and middle income families. bill: many times feel it on the weekend, that is when they're gassing up. fred upton from the hill. thank you, sir. >> thank you.

bill: martha. martha: firefighters showing people exactly why they are called the bravest. a roof, look at this. literally starts to drop out from underneath their feet as these firefighters scramble to save their lives. we'll show you what happens next. bill: that is amazing to watch, isn't it? holy traffic stop. the caped crusader pulled over by the police. batman, come on!. >> again no tags. just has the batman seal on the vehicle. it is a black lamborghini and a driver dressed as black man. you can send me robin if you wish. from your tablet. for 26 paydays triggered with a single tap. for checking your line, then checking your portfolio. for making atms and branches appear out of thin air.

bill: right about 23 minutes past the hour now on a friday. looking like a strong finish to the weekend. wall street stock futures are higher higher, fueled by

a jump in consumer spending. americans increasing their spending by the biggest rate we've seen in seven months. the caped crusader on the wrong sign of the law. police in maryland pulling over batman. apparently the bat symbol doesn't works a license plate. that was a black lamborghini. wasn't the batmobile but looks pretty good. martha: was on the way for doing something nice for children at a local hospital. looks like the real guy. bill: what a classic picture. got nothing on adam west. martha: no, he doesn't. look at this now. two big stars trying to cover their tracks today after tweeting home addresses that were connected to the shooting deaths of florida teenager trayvon martin. roseanne bar and spike lee both tweeted addresses they believe the home of george zimmerman's family the accused in this case. the address went out to hundreds of thousands of followers.

they have together about 350,000,000 followers. roseanne saying quote, i should not have i said regarding g. zimmerman. i do appreciate the people who confronted and corrected me. i was indeed over the line. the address spike lee sent out belongs to an elderly couple with no link to this case. lee, later tweeted, i deeply apologize to the mcclain family for retweeting their address. it was a mistake. please leave the mcclain's in peace. justice in court. the mcclain's attorney said lee called them personally apologized and agreed to compensate them. the family said he was very apologetic and very nice to them. on the phone. sound like they have forgiven him. we'll see where that goes. joined by a criminal defense attorney in florida. eric, welcome. >> thank you, martha, good morning. martha: there have been so many emotions surrounding this case but to have these two adults, hollywood

celebrities, passing along the addresses that they believed would have basically sent mobs to these addresses, to, you know at very least protest and very worst hurt the people who live there. what are the ramifications of those actions? >> i suppose better to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission. the ramifications of these actions could be anywhere from disorderly conduct to breach of the peace. even further, there is a bounty on george zimmerman's head. here we have celebrities, texting, tweeting, putting out their addresses online for people to go to their home. there is no arrest warrant. these citizens can't go out there and arrest them. i can't think of any reason why other than to incite violence they would put and actually tweet these addresses of these people. martha: you know, you think about it, these people are both in the public spotlight. they have no doubt had their privacy infringed upon at times in their lives and it is shocking that they would, you know, kind of put these

other families in that position. in fact, you know, let's deal with roseanne barr if we can. she leaves open the possibility in further tweets apparently. she says if zimmerman isn't arrested i will retweet his address again. maybe go tolf. what is she leaving herself open to there? >> i think roseanne barr needs to carefully rethink that. if someone goes to the zimmerman's house or zimmerman family house, hurts them, harms them, kills them, she could open herself up to manslaughter, could open to possibly murder or breach of the peace. she violated all twitter rules and contracts and get sued for breach of contract by twitter for violating their contract by posting someone's address. she can be sued if something happens for intentional infliction of emotional distress. these are celebrities, deep pockets. lawyers pay day. these sleebts need to be careful and responsible. this behavior is irresponsible. martha: seems that spike lee made every effort to sort of

make amends with the mcclain family. here is what they had to say earlier on this. >> we know we have extremist all over and we're afraid that someone might see the address and decide, well, we'll take care of them ourselves. martha: is spike lee, has he covered his tracks sufficiently, legally in your opinion, eric? >> spike lee might think he has done the right thing but spike lee did not do the right thing. spike lee tweeted. there are digital fingerprints that are always up there. you can't put it down. he thinks he can take it down. he issued an apology. i understand there is a settlement. the family accepts that. if something happens or any harm to them happens in the future as posting of that address he could find himself liable. in the first place he never should have done this. people need ton careful. the very thing that people are fighting for in their search for justice is the very thing that they are going to fall for in this stand your ground. they say this is about vigilantism. well they're inciting

vigilantism. he is innocent until proven guilty. george zimmerman has not been arrested. has not been brought to court. we are a nation of laws. this case needs to be the courtroom, nowhere else. not in the media. in a occur room. martha: eric, thank you very much. >> martha, thank you. bill: tough times facing american workers but there is a success story you have probably not heard about. we'll tell you about that in moments. and --. martha: 19 people were rounded up in terror raids. we'll tell you what is behind that move when we come back

martha: all right. how about this? three governors of beef-producing states are fighting back. they went out to tour the beef products plants in nebraska to show their support for the company after rejecting the label, quote, pink slime. have you heard about this? pink slime is what they're calling certain meat products used in things. they say that is unwarranted attack in their opinion. here is texas governor, rick perry. >> you owe it to the consumers to report the facts. let's call this product what it is. and let pink slime become a term of the past. martha: so let's figure all this out. laura engle live in our new york newsroom. what did the governor's tour

entail and what does he suggest we call pink slime from now on? >> reporter: not pink slime for now. this was attempt to persuade grossed out consumers and grocery stores what critics call pink slime and industry calls lean, finely textured beef is lean, and nutritious. they came and saw and ate. to prove their point to the public. some detractors calling the lean beef trim pink slime are using a bad nickname that should be ignored. lieutenant governors of nebraska and south dakota took a tour of beef products incorporated plant in nebraska yesterday, the main producer of the beef product. examining the beef containing filler and later downing hamburgers made with the product to sway consumers to buying the product made from fatty bits of meat left over from the other cuts. the lean beef has been a part of 20 million meals per year used in fast-food,

school lunches and 20% of the ground beef sold in grocery stores. martha. martha: this backlash is affecting the workers livelihoods, right? >> reporter: it could have a long term negative effect. all the negative press forced the them to suspend operation the at their plants. they then they can fix before too much revenue from this industry slips away. >> we lost 300 jobs in kansas off this, off a good, wholesome safe product consumed for 20 years without a problem. and that's why we're here pushing back. and i hope, i really hope that people in america take a second look and thought about what this is, what this really is and work with it. >> reporter: the company says it continues to pay full salaries and benefits to all the employees as it works through the immediate impact of the shutdown. after the governors tour and taste tests of the burgers, they showed you have t-shirts to convey the message, dude, it's beef.

martha: dude, it's beef. laura, thank you. >> reporter: thanks, martha. bill: except for friday's it is lent. martha: very good point. bill: there is a success story in america you probably don't know about yet. ohio governor john kasich is live from columbus to talk about that. governor, welcome back to "america's newsroom.". >> hey, bill, i wish sam brownback good luck on his fight, but i got to tell you, jayhawks in kansas are going down saturday night to ohio state. bank on it. bill: i didn't see that one coming. i should have. good luck to you. >> all right. bill: listen, unemployment in your state is 7.7%. that is now below the national average. when you compare that to what it had been a year ago at 9.0%, what's happening in ohio, governor? >> well, bill, we are the number one job creator in the midwest and number five in the country. tell you what happened, bill.

we had a $8 billion hole and we eliminated it and we cut taxes at the same time. the credit agencies have taken us off negative watch and moved us up the to stable. we're up, you know, close to 100,000 jobs in the last year. you know what happens is, when you, when you don't overregulate, when you reduce your tax burden, when you are responsible running your government and you do not get yourself in a position of where you overregulate, and based on the good work of the people of the state, the workers here, our location and our size, people are getting confidence they can expand here or locate here because we're not going to, something is not going to fly out of the corner there and whop them upside the head. they have confidence that we have stability here in ohio the and we do and we awakened a sleeping giant. bill: i follow you and listen to you every stop you make in that state. you talk about bringing jobs and bringing back to ohio. oil companies are hot right now. natural gas companies are

hot right now. you're expanding that. are your idea take some profits from the oil companies and give it back to the people of ohio. how is that work? >> one company, yeah. right now, bill, we tax oil in ohio 20 cents on $110 barrel of oil in liquids we have in the ground are taxed at

value they have exported their tax burden to ohio. we want to make sure that we don't take all this money out of this state back to texas and oklahoma. we get to keep some of it here to provide some real economic benefit to our people. bill: i understand that. if you look at the politics of your state right now. as a republican governor. you had ha tough vote against the union bill. that was six or seven months ago. now you look at the daily numbers, okay? when your success in ohio could likely help a democratic president to a second term. this is the latest number we have on mitt romney goes head-to-head against barack obama. he loses by eight points. when rick santorum goes head-to-head against the president, he loses by six. does your success then cut both ways, knowing the battleground state that ohio is? >> bill, you know, reagan used to have a sign on his desk said, president reagan, doesn't matter who gets the credit. if you don't worry about that it is amazing what you get accomplished. i don't care if it is a

little green man they give credit to. people are working. you're a ohio native. i got to tell you there is optimism in yupgs town we have not seen before. we've seen cities recovering like toledo. across the state we have a diverse economy and things are going better and better. we're not out of the woods. 7.6% unemployment, too many kids in poverty. bill: you're not happy about that. >> bill, look we have stop all the politics who gets this, or who gets that. at the end of the day ohio will be very competitive. i will have my say about the best person to run the federal government. at end of the day we have to create jobs. if we don't we're losing a moral issue. most pornography moral issue in america? mom and dad working and kids getting out of poverty. you get the family going, that is strengthens everything in our communities and our country. bill: we're a better country after that. john kasich out of columbus. >> thank you, bill.

watch that moment where they cling to life with only each other. one of the firefighters jumps to the other building and separates that wall between almost a partition. that is the moment where the team work comes together. they were trying to ventilate the building before the roof start todco laps. if you go in that building, chances are you will not come out alive. thankfully in the end all three men are okay. what a story to watch there. wow!. martha: turns out a growing number of doctors now oppose president obama's health care law according to an online survey created by republican senator tom coburn. he is a doctor himself. he did the survey and takes credit for it. according to it 75% of the physicians who responded say they do indeed oppose this law. dr. marc siegel joins us now. a member of fox news medical a-team. you see him here all the time. he is professor the medicine at nyu langone medical center. good morning. >> good morning, martha.

martha: you've been saying this for some time. now that you watch all this playing out in the supreme court, what is the message you want to get across as you listen to what the justices are saying about this law. >> i'm disturbed when i see only lawyers and pundits talking about this okay, forcing people to buy a product may be unconstitutional but then the administration says wait a minute, we all get sick and some of us have the to pay for when others get sick. that sounds nice in theory but in a doctor's office it doesn't work. if the doctor's office we're already full. like we say we'll sell 100 tickets in an event that can only fit 50 people. you try to squeeze in 100 people everyone gets upset. they will start quitting. start seeing more and more people. that mess is what obamacare is in the doctor's office. martha: flooding a lot of people into the market. >> we were already full. we're already worried we're paid too little. rather take credit cards and checks. ask any doctor in the united states, would rather take

cash, why? because insurance is not paying enough. martha: when you call to make an appointment, hello, they say what is your insurance carrier before they ask you what your name is or when you like to come for an appointment. >> of course. insurance carriers some are blocking services we can have. under obamacare whether the individual mandate survives or not there is the independent medicare advisory board. there is all kinds of committees restricting services i can order. martha: what do we do, mark? i'm looking at the great piece you wrote the other day and you outline how few, kids aren't going to medical school. they don't want to be doctors. we need.spire young people to want to join the medical profession in this county. we talk so much about the sciences and how we're declining in that area. what do you think is the best way to inspire a new crop of young doctors in this country? because that would change the supply demand dynamic. >> i would have like to seen us, we can still be included in the conversation now. i want us in the conversation. i want to say what is going to make a young person want to become a doctor. if the government is serious

about health care why don't they incentivize doctors? why don't they expand the national health service corps. no doctors were protesting when the law was passed when emergency rooms could not turn anyone away. that is in the right spirit. we shouldn't turn anyone away. shouldn't always look at bottom line, how much money we're making. the administration is taking us for granted. it is not saying how we make doctors feel better about practicing medicine. surely by not shoving more patients down our throat without paying us for it, restricting our services, having more advisory boards. by the way, martha, what is more importantly you know what will follow the individual mandate holds, a mandate that doctors will have to accept the insurance. we're running away from it. you can't find a psychiatrist takes insurance. can't find an ob/gyn president soon we will have mandate. martha: very compelling argument. if we're trying to improve health care in this country we may be headed down the wrong road to do that. i hope you continue to be included in the conversation

as you say you want to be because it looks like we may be in a situation where some of this may be reworked. thanks very much. >> thanks for including me, martha. martha: anytime. bill: how do you really feel, siegel? come out of your shell. he was living a life on the run and in hiding for almost a decade. now new information about the productive final years spent by osama bin laden. wait until you hear about this. martha: quite a story. a previous lotto winner has some advice for you if you strike it rich tonight. listen to this. >> man, not having that 365,000 coming in every year, that's said. but it is inevitable. don't promise the world to everybody you know. martha: wise words. think a big win will make a better life for you? that is the big question today. we'll be right back. ♪ [ male announcer ] fothe saver, and a g first step.

bill: sure was. we're learning stunning new details about osama bin laden's life on the run and hiding in pakistan for years. conner powell on the story live in kabul. what is one of bin laden's wife saying, conner? >> reporter: bill, bin laden's youngest wife, 29-year-old who he married in 2000 told pakistani investigators they lived in multiple houses in multiple cities in the last decade in pakistan. sometime after the u.s. troops landed in afghanistan, she says she went to karachi but later met her husband, bin laden, in the western pakistani city of peshawar. where they moved around the swat valley before moving to another city. they spent two years before moving to where they lived for six years. now she says during that 10 years or so on the run she gave birth to four children in pakistan. two in a government hospital in haripor. and two others later.

given what we know about pakistan this, is state, a country where women don't have a lot of freedom and don't do a lot of things without men. seems unlikely she was moving around just by herself. there was clearly somebody helping her. she says people helping her were some pakistani families. she will not name any of the individuals. not clear she even knows who the individuals were, bill. bill: remarkable story. four kids. conner powell, lived in kabul on that. knew accusations the white house is intentionally leaking classified information. we'll explain in moment as on that, martha. martha: has there been a rush to judgement in the trayvon martin case. >> how can this investigation have happened like this where you get to the, and a kid is killed and he is allowed to go home the same night? it's the little things in life that make me smile.

martha: accusations that the white house may have leaked classified information to stop

israel from attacking iran. new details are developing this hour on this. that the administration might have gone public, perhaps, because their effort to pressure israel might not be work, as well as they would like it to. that is a big story. that's how we start a brand new hour of "america's newsroom" on this friday morning. good to have you here, everybody, i'm. >> caller: bill: i'm bill hemmer. they report that israel had been granted access to airfields along iran's border. it would jeopardize any attack if that were to happen. martha: let's bring in ambassador john bol bolton. he is also a fox news contributor. this is a serious charge, obviously that the white house would leak information that they thought would help them in their quest to prevent israel from attacking iran. >> i think it's a very serious subject, and i think if you look at the verulance to the white

house's reaction to israel taking action against iran over the last few years, the only conclusion you can come to is the obama administration fears an israeli attack more than they fear an iranian nuclear weapon. i think that is like looking through the wrong end of the telescope, but that is clearly where the administration has come out. i think they know quite well that their unceasing efforts to pressure israel ha failed. the the first time they decided to go public was six months ago when leon panetta said the attack was going to be april, may, june. i think that was 2.0 of that campaign. martha: do you have any specific information about a specific leak from the white house with regard to this? >> no, the administration didn't include me in their strategy

sessions on the leaks for some reason. the best that they can come up with is that it wasn't orchestrated, maybe it's just individuals in the administration that feel they want to get this information out. maybe if it's an orchestrated leak, maybe it's an acapell leak. martha: what does this do to their million stair restrategy? what is the impact of this leak. >> the thing that makes it so reprehensible in my view is whoever leaked it believed that iran did not know about it. let's analyze what we're doing here, we have an administration official leaking information to an adversary to the united states about the plans of an american ally to act in its self be defense. and from the israeli perspective, if in fact they did

have plans to use bases near the border, it's now a completely different environment that the iranians know that was a prospect that presumably they didn't know before the leak. i don't think that necessarily changeses israel's plans or conclusions, but it's certainly a different tactical environment they have to take into account. martha: interesting. thank you, john bolton, good to have you here as always. bill: do you have your ticket yet? millions of americans lining up for a chance at millions, a world record $540 million mega million jackpot. is that enough millions for you? top prize expected to soar even higher before the drawing later tonight. >> normally my husband comes and purchases the ticket. today myself and a couple of employees decided to go in and select the numbers and come and play the numbers. >> the lottery ticket can be filled out in 180 million different ways. so in order to make sure that

you will be in for sure you have to get 180 million tickets and fill them out all differently. bill: how bus busy is it where you are, rick? i saw you earlier and i was stunned. >> reporter: every minute i stand here i can't fill out 180 million tickets to guarantee the win. the lines are not that long in hoboken right now, but they expect the lines to get very long this evening as people cue up to get a last chance at the jackpot. here in new jersey they are selling about 2,000 tickets every single minute. in new york about 1.4 million tickets every hour. we want to show you video from the california-nevada border. nevada is one of the eight states that doesn't sell megamillion tickets. people are heading to border times where they are lining up for hours and lottery officials

are loving every minute of it. >> this is the real march madness. i know there is something going on down in new orleans that a few people are excited about. but to talk about march madness, this is it. >> reporter: despite repea repeated attempts she would not give me the winning numbers. right now no lines. bill: you still have time. what is the likelihood some one wins tonight? >> reporter: there hasn't been a winner in 18 consec ar 18 conse1818 conse consecutive times with no winner. >> if you don't play the probability is zero, if you do play the probability of winning is about the same.

>> reporter: a little bit more than zero. >> i think you have to go to the 8th or 9th decimal point before you get up more than zero. >> reporter: you're 18 more times likely to be president of the united states than win tonight's mega million as. you're 12 more times likely to be an astronaut. you're likely to be struck by lightning new times. martha: did you buy your tickets? bill: i haven't done it yet but i will. i think you have to go to a rural town where you buy a single ticket at a gas station. martha: the winner of the 540 million can either get that cash in annual installments. how would you like it, bill?

or you can opt to take the lump-sum of less cash all at once. the lump-sum means you take home $390 million. the other woeupbs you bring home $293 million after federal taxes, or you can claim your full winnings in annual payouts of $20.8 million each year for the next 26 years, and you'll have to pay taxes on that money as well. bill: the lump-sum is blunt te plenty, right. martha: absolutely. bill: the chances of winning at 126 million. you have to spend $176 million for every possible combination. if you are the only person to do it you would still walk away with about 117 million. if you haven't already started buying tickets you probably missed your chance for tonight's drawing. filling out that many lottery

card would take 28 years. it would use up the nation's entire supply of printing materials to do that. if you're in it to win it great. we'll talk about this in a week. martha: i think they should dived i tkao*eut divide it up, three winners. martha: there is a call for steep spending limits and a dramatic change to medicare. not a single democrat in the house was on board. peter, were all the republican members on board? i think not. >> reporter: no, martha, ten republican members of congress voted nay, but the ryan budget passed very he's yes 228 to 191. it had a little less support than ryan's budget last year.

congressman ryan this morning said with this budget he's trying to show how america can get back on track and give voters a choice in the fall but he insists it is not purely political. >> to mo me it's more than a campaign document, it's a governing document. it's showing the government specifically how we can strengthen medicare and grow our economy. we are cutting 5 point $3 trillion out of the president's budget. we are cutting every government agency. >> reporter: he says april 15th isn't just tax days for americans, it's budget day for congress. he has the understanding that harry reid will not bring a budget to the floor. it sound like his plan is stalled. martha: that will make it three years that the senate has not done its job, which is to bring a budget to the floor. talk to me a little bit about the democrats and what is their biggest talking point against the ryan budget. >> reporter: closing tax

loopholes. but they say that that would sock the middle class. >> because they choose to exempt folks at the very high-end of the income scale for sharing the responsibility for reducing the deficit, they lack everyone else and everything else. >> reporter: over at the white house yesterday press secretary jay carney said it creates a segmented replacement for medicare that would burden seniors and end the program as we know it and he did not mean that in a complimentary way. martha way. bill: the death of an unarmed florida teenager sparking national outrage.

has there been a rush to condemn the shooter? here is the martin family attorney on that. >> he never properly identified himself. he has no badge, he's a guy walking around with a .9mm, he's a vigilante. bill: fair & balanced debate on whether that is the right answer. martha: summer travel right around the corner, folks. could something happening on the other side of the earth make your plane tickets skyrocket in cost this summer? then there is this. >> police. bill: that is an overnight early morning raid busting dozens of people said to be extremists. what they were up to that raised flags with the government. we'll tell but that.

bill: some terror raids while you were sleeping. happening in france.

the french police making a move in the middle of the night on about 19 suspected islamists terrorists. they are telling french media that they did find weapons. the tensions are high in this country after the killing of a radical islamist about a week ago. martha: attorneys for trayvon martin's family intensifying their calls for justice. as the does of this unarmed teenager has sparked outrage across the country. while the facts of the entire evening are still unclear. george zimmerman's self-defense store has now been raising eyebrows after a video we'll show you in a minute. it has caused several lawmakers and prominent civil rights people to ask for his arrest. >> are we at a point where there's been a rush to judgment? >> he's suspicious for no reason. the operator tells him not to get out of his car, he gets out

of his car. he's chasing him. we hear him breathing very hard. he engaged trayvon, and we have mr. zimmerman saying, yes, i did shoot him. now whether or not he is guilty are not is not the issue when it comes to arresting someone. he should be arrested. martha: brad blakeman is a former deputy assistant to president george w. bush. gumu green is a fox news contributor. welcome to you both. this story has touched so many fears of our lives. it's been dealt with on capitol hill, talked about in politics, caulked about by the president of the united states and has prompted very sre verulant conversations about dinner tables. when we look at this video, do you think mistakes have been made? >> i do. i think there has been a tremendous rush to judgment.

it's certainly a heated case, there is no question about it. but the facts don't warrant the reaction of lawmakers who should be quieting the public and saying let justice run its course, yes, we will have a critical eye on the officials investigating this matter, but we abide by a rule of law. we are not a vigilante so sigh. two wrongs don't make a right if that is the case here. and i think when the president and congress people make outrageous statements, as if they were witnesses to an event, it's wrong. and it insights people to do things that are outside the law. we shouldn't be doing that in america. we should let justice run its court. martha: jemu, a lot of people want to see justice run its court. before you respond let's take a look at this video, let's bring it full screen. this is what prompted the latest leg of this conversation. this is george zimmerman about 45 minutes after the police came to the scene. you can see him as he gets out of the car and comes around, he seems to be walking without any problem, and in the next shots that you will see in this.

there are closer shots of his head, they said that his head was injured when it hit the concrete, that there was a big tussle on the ground, and that his nose was broken in this altercation as well, and in the pictures, and you'll see more of them, there doesn't seem to be any sign of injuries. did this video change the way you looked at this case at all? >> it definitely enlightened me even more and enlightened most americans who have been struggling with this. but martha i do have respond to brad's statements that it's outrageous for the president to say exactly what he said, which was u know, we node to let this investigation take place, and we will see justice happen. >> that's not all the president said, you know what he said. he was race baiting. >> he was not race baitng. to even ask the question of has there than a rush to judgment is

a bit mind boggling, because at the end of the day this young man was shot a month ago, and the person who shot him, george zimmerman, was not arrested the evening that he did this crime, and just like the lawyer said, this situation would not have got even to this point, where we now are seeing an investigation, if it wasn't for the passion and the response that we've seen from americans across the spectrum and across race and ethnic boundaries. it is because of that outrage that we've seen now this investigation and the questions that are desperately needing to be answered finally being asked. martha: this is not a legal panel, we are talking about the political ramifications and social ramifications. when you look at the video do you wonder in your own mind, well why didn't they arrest george zimmerman? it seems as if the circumstances were there. we are waiting for all the details on this. that is why there continues to be so much public focus on the

case and discussion about it, a lot of people thought there should have been an arrest to begin the process to find out if he was guilty of anything. >> you make an arrest on information and belief that a crime has been committed. martha: we know a crime had been committed. >> no we don't know a kroeupl has been committed. we know that somebody is dead, but we don't know whether a crime has been committed. that's the reason why there isn't an arrest. when the attorney for the family says, well it doesn't matter if you're guilty or innocent, there should be an arrest, no, that is not the way the system works. we arrest those we believe to be those who perpetrated a crime, then we move to the next phase of a grand jury, and further than that to a trialment no, there has to be some basis upon which an arrest is made. and the fact that somebody is dead doesn't necessarily mean a crime was committed, if it was self-defense. >> that basis was actually outlined very clearly by the lead investigator who made a recommendation to the prosecutor that there should have been an arrest. but there are bigger questions

that we should be asking. for one, why didn't this young man, trayvon martin, as he is being stocked by george zimmerman, why didn't he hang up the phone with his girlfriend and call the police? that is a serious problem in this country where you have young black men afraid to trust the police. they shouldn't be singing, i shot the sheriff. >> you have members of congress inciting further violence, that is the problem and not standing up for rule of law. >> that's ludicrous, brad. martha: gehmu and brad i hope we can continue this conversationment it's an important one and it's being had all over america. thank you both. and we will talk to you both again on this. bill: fox news alert just crossing at the moment a massive credit card breach that might attend 10 million americans. details on that right after this quick break. back in three minutes. are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert

martha: this story is just crossing the wires and it is bound to be a big story today. a huge breach, it looks like, at the major credit cards. mastercard has confirmed that they have had a breach of their credit card numbers. visa has so far not concerned. we are checking out that part of the story. it may involve 10 million cards, and the theft of these numbers took place between january the 21st and february 28th. though say the breach involves a single as yet unnamed processors. banks have found that the affected cards some of them were used at new york city area parking garages, folks, where some of that breach has occurred and it allows people to create fraudulent credit cards with your number on it. fabulous, right? we'll check that out and get you more information. bill: it's a lot of cards, isn't it? ten million in the new york city area.

that is breaking and also this is breaking. the middle east, reports of gunfire and explosions as palestinians march on what they call land day. leland vittert is live on the west bank now. what is happening there. >> reporter: bill, right now we have a little bit of a lull in the fighting as they are trying to clear away some of wounded here at an israeli check-point. take a look. you see some of the israeli soldiers heading back and the huge fountains of teargas that are coming up there and some of the palestinian ambulances. up this street is the town of ramallah, they say the people need to abandon the peace process and return to the streets with popular resistance. these are the palestinian protestors that have marched down the toward towards ra maliyah to commemorate land day when israel annexed a huge amount of land to build a huge

jewish september. they are trying to light tires on fire and push them down to object sure the israeli view of what is going on. [gunfire] >> reporter: do you think that throwing rocks and doing this is going to help your cause? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> because we will be here, and this land for us. we have the right to stay in this land. >> reporter: now you can see the israelis advancing here. we have a number of teargas canisters, we have the skunk medical and the palestinian youth responding with rocks. the other big issue at a time like this right now is you have to worry about the rubber bullets that are coming as we stay out of the line of fire back here as the teargas starts to take hold. this was by far the most violent of all the protests here for land day. you can hear it still going on this evening, and the remnants are this. this is where all the palestinians came to, right

about where i'm standing now. if you look down on the ground you can see all the rocks that were thrown, hundreds if not thousands of these. you hit somebody in the head it's awfully painful, and this is what the israelis are responding with, rubber bullets. if something like this hits you it's going to hurt a lot. this is what they are using to drive the palestinians back. this is reminiscent of what happened in the 1980s. bill: thank you, leland be safe out there on the west bank. martha: more on the developing story that has affected millions of credit card holders. we have a live report, get ready for this one, folks it's straight ahead. bill: we are not just talking about a lot of money here, we are talking about quit your job, buyout donald trump and get your own island while you're at it. is this your lucky day?

martha: this story is all over the wires right now. there is a major security breach at two big-named credit card companies. mastercard and visa are the reports that we are getting right now. it may involve 10 million cards, this fraudulent operation and enables the people carrying off this fraud to cop eat numbers on your credit card and change it

and spend up a storm. julie banderas joins us with moi more details on this. hi, jul julie. >> reporter: this affects an unknown number of visa and mastercard holders, possibly involving 10 million cards. the theft took place, we do know some time between january 21st and february 28th. that breach involves a single yet unnamed processor. we don't know the processor at this point. banks have found that many of the affected cards were used at new york area parking garages, which may be where the breach occurred, that is still being investigated. and what the breach does, is it allows people to create fraudulent cards. now visa and mastercard are alerting banks all across the country in fact, and they are calling the breach, quote, massive. in separate nonpublic alerts sent late last week visa and

mastercard began warning banks about specific cards that may have been compromised. i want to make it clear here how many cards were breached in the process or attack were not clear. on wednesday a provider of online financial services to credit unions said it alerted 482 credit unions that had cards impacted by the bream. 66,455 members of visa and mastercard accounts were compromised. mastercard officially has confirmed this today. it is currently investigating the potential breach. it is alerting card members. it affected visa cardholder as i mentioned. as of yet visa has yet to community. martha: this is one we'll be working on all afternoon. >> reporter: we are all over it. martha: thank you very much. bill: talking about a lot of money in this lotto. it passed the house, but congressman paul ryan's budget

plan is doomed in the democratic senate. ryan says the policies have simply failed america. >> if we don't like the way the president is taking this country which i would argue is take us to a welfare state in decline, if we don't like that direction we need to show the country exactly how we would get off that track, get back to saving the american dream and give the country the choice in the fall. bill: that was paul ryan earlier. david z i-k ert member of the financial services committee, good morning to you, in studio of all things. what do you mean when you say it doesn't go far enough, what would make you happy. >> my great concern is the way the debt is exploding. we are $1.3 trillion in debt this year than we were last year. many of us are very fearful if we don't demonstrate to the markets and the public around the world that the united states is getting its debt under

control. there are financial minds out there pr predicting it will happen in the next two years. bill: you voted in favor of ryan's plan, you voted yes. >> paul ryan's budget had brilliant policy in it. i absolutely agree with everything he's saying. i'm more hawkish on that we ned to tell the american people how fast we are eroding. a lot of people are turning 65, the reality of medicare and those entitlements which are exploding in growth, so if you want to save them, if you want to save them we have to adopt the policy that is in the ryan budget, i would just make more aggressive cuts. bill: this is the best chance at the moment of passing and it did with no democratic support. your idea balancings the bulge net five years, ryan's in

seven. all that aside, whether it's five, seven or ten, many would argue that it is the most important story of our lifetime. >> it is the greatest threat to this country that you and i have ever faced in our lifetimes. the reality of it is, look what is happening around the world? how many countries are also competing with us to keep borrowing more money? you cannot sustain -- we are right now borrowing about $3.5 billion every single day and we have something like the president's budget which was just silly because it never comes into balance. it was amusing, not a single democrat on the floor of the house over the last couple of days was even willing to vote for the president's budget. bill: here is chris van hol and on the flooholland on the floor of the house. >> we can do bet. we can take a balanced approach, cut spending, cut the loopholes for special interest. let's do it in a way that the american people would say, that brings us together rather than

apart. bill: i believe he actually used the word fair & balanced, which we have heard before. >> i thought you had it copy written. bill: tell me this. is there a political risk to what republicans are doing now in an election year. >> absolutely. but washington d.c. systematically has died to us for decades. what happens when you get the republicans and paul ryan and those of us working with what we call the pep study committee, the more conservative members step up and tell the truth to the american people. bill: do you think they are ready to hear it? >> i sure hope so. this is the survival. this is no longer about your grand kids and kids, now it's about you and me. will these programs still survive if we don't step up and manage the debt growth right now? bill: thank you, from arizona, nice to see you in new york. martha: this is fun. bill: martha. martha: the summer travel season is almost here. you could soon have to dig a

little bit deeper in your pocket for a vacation to europe among other places, that's because countries there want to make passengers pay for their airplanes emissions on the flight over. how about that? chief washington correspondent james rosen is looking into the story for us from washington. good morning, james, what is this all about. >> reporter: good morning. effective on january 1st of this year the aviation sector was placed by the european union under the eu's emissions trading system, essentially a company and trade program designed to cut down on pollution by commercial airlines, so starting next year after their carbon emissions have been fully tallied for 2012 u.s. airliners will have to pay taxes on their emissions when they fly from u.s. air space to european air space. other countries such as india and china have barred their airline companies from complying with the eu's tax scheme. the u.s. house has passed a similar bill here. and the measure was introduced

by republican john the u.n. e of south dakota. >> american travelers paying a tax to the eu allegedly to offset some of the aviation admissions that are caused, but there is no guarantee that that is going to happen. more importantly this is an issue of u.s. sovereignty. american airlines are being assessed a tax for flights over the united states and that's not something that we should tolerate. >> reporter: the airline industry here which has loss 160,000 jobs this past year says this scheme will only further hurt it. martha: what do you think is behind this. >> reporter: there is lack of any concerted action between the countries of the world on this issue in any other forum. quote, faced with the urgent need to address climate change the eu chose to go forward by bringing the aviation sector into our emissions trading system. the commissioner told fox news,

the eu has been consistently clear that it will review its legislation only if and when a global agreement to address aviation emissions is found. pending in global agreement the eu legislation will continue to apply to all aircraft operators using airports in the eu territory. eu official say that aviation carbon emissions doubled from 1990 to 2006. that is the rational behind the move. martha: makes you think twice about your summer plans. james, thank you. bill: dating a teacher apparently not a bad thing in one state. a controversial ruling that you can guess is causing some outrage. martha: plus winning big does not guarantee the good life, i'm here to tell you, and dr. keith ablow is going to back that up and explain exactly why you should not buy a lottery ticket on your way home from work today. bill: really? martha: yeah. [ artis brown ] america is facing some tough challenges right now.

something that is not selfexpression, that is the ropbl root to really improving your life. you have to love yourself and believe that someone else does. i know it sounds pat, but it's true. the money will just get you further into darkness in if you don't know who you are. martha: my mind goes directly to the man singing bohemian rapsody in the back of the police car. you've got jack whitaker who won $315 million back in 2002. he had a tragic story. he was robbed of over $500,000 that he had in cash, if you can believe it, while he was at a strip club, he was carrying around that kind of money. his family members were later found dead. he was sued by caesars in atlantic city. he bounced checks to them.

lesson that is learned at the end of the wizard of oz. >> absolutely. there is no place by home. martha: everybody is on their way to buy more lottery tickets. we'll think about it, we will. bill: if you buy 50 tickets a week you'll win the jackpot ever 68,000 years. so you've got that going for you. martha: you've got to that going for you. bill: name the movie. >> what movie. bill: it's kals stripes. >> it's bill's staeufr favorite movie. can the government shut down your cellphone in an imagine? martha: what turns out to be a super discount price for oh, just a picasso print. this is unbelievable. >> i wasn't going to get rich, but i also knew, how often are you going to find a picasso just out in the so to speak wild?

advocates. pwarbgts the bay areas public system and a public agency intentionally jammed electronic communications after learning that protestors were using text messages to coordinate their efforts. under a new policy bart will only silence cell phones if there is a report of a bomb or hostage station or the threat of a train being stopped or damaged. under this new policy cellphone service would not have been turned off during this process last suggest. still, it's the scenarios that are not listed that concern free speech advocates. >> they mention explosives, and hostage situations, but then they say, well it could be something else too. and we are worried about that something else being a protest next time, and that it's going to capture protected speech under the first amendment. >> reporter: civil liberties groups have asked the fcc to clearly state that government agencies cannot interrupt wireless service to stop civil decent. bill: what do the officials out there in san francisco say about

that? >> reporter: officials with bart, they are paving new ground here. bart was the first government agency in the u.s. ever to turn off cell phones to stop process, and it's the first to establish guidelines as to when they can do it again, knowing full well if they do they will answer to free speech advocates, but bart's president doesn't care. >> we recognize the fact that it is a civil liberties position, but quite frankly the answer to your question is, does life safety trump first amendment rights? short answer, yes. >> reporter: bart says it wants its new policy to serve as a model for other public agencies if they are debating weather to shut down electronic communications because, bill, obviously it is not something to do lightly. bill: claudia cowan, thank you for that. martha: a california man is lucky to be alive today getting help from a powerful predator after a mountain lion pounced. >> i got hit from behind and it
