not me. anyway, i enjoy it. thanks. "the five." thank you for watching. have a great weekend. see you monday. >> gregg: mega millions is history. in the end only three winners. $640 million jackpot. hello, welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. glad you are with us. i'll gregg jarrett. >> three winners across three states. winning ticket is sold in kansas maryland and illinois. peter doocy is live where one of the winning tickets were sold in

maryland. >> reporter: i'm at the seven leb where the maryland winning particular was bought. the winner waited in a line here it was pretty long for most of the day. the drawing was at 11:00. the winner, don't know if its man or woman, walked up to this red machine and got one ticket at 7:15 and they didn't buy anything else. they let the computer generate the six digits on the winning jackpot ticket. we don't know this person's identity but we do know that 7-eleven has found this person today because they went back to the surveillance footage. it was so busy at the lottery machine that four people bought tickets in that one minute. i asked the clerk who sold the ticket, she is very excited but she does not remember the person because just at this location they sold 1532 tickets yesterday. at a time when states are strapped for cash this was

all-time record breaking day for maryland lottery. they made $16 million just yesterday in ticket sales. i asked the director of the maryland lottery where the money goes. he said it goes to a lot of things. >> in maryland it goes to support all the good causes the state supports. our lottery revenue which is about 30% of our total sales, we generated $519 million. it all goes to the state general fund for the governor and legislature to appropriate and support everything from public education, higher education. social service, protecting the environment which is very important in maryland. it goes into that common pool. >> reporter: we've been here all day and we've seen people leaving with slices of pizza, it costs one dollar, that someone has a ticket that is worth as you just said, over $200 million. >> i could get by on that.

peter, thanks. >> gregg: new report that despite the killing of radical cleric anwar al-awlaki the group he has led a senior official telling fox news in the last six months, since a drone strike killed him and the al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula is plotting new attacks. he was linked to the terror attacks including fort hood shooting and times square and also a flight in 2009. syrian government claiming that the uprising against assad's regime is over but the fighting is continuing. government forces releasing new attacks on the rebels. they are asking the international community to support them with arms is supplies. the uprising begin with nationwide protests on march

15th of last year triggered by torture of students. more than 9,000 people have died in the fighting. 30,000 syrians have already fled the country and 200,000 people forced from their homes but still somewhere inside syria. are we seeing the end in the revolt in syria? we'll talk with a state department advisor. on the campaign trail, three of the four remaining republican candidates or the road today in wisconsin. mitt romney, rick santorum and newt gingrich each speaking at the fialth and freedom coalition. ron paul has no events scheduled with winner take on primary. doug mckelway is live in washington with the latest on all this. >> reporter: pulling in a series of high profile endorsements

including those of george h.w. bush and marco rubio and paul ryan. the consensus is romney is close closing in on the nomination. polls show i am up 7.5% over santorum three-day aways from the primary. all the candidates with the exception of ron paul spoke today at faith and freedom coalition event. romney ripping into vice president biden's call for a corporate minimum tax. saying that american taxpayers shouldn't be providing a larger subsidy for investing abroad. >> doesn't it mean that our enterprises will leave and go somewhere else. they just kill economic freedom. they make it harder and harder for our economy to grow and put people back to work. look at this recovery the weakest recovery we've seen

since hoover. >> reporter: he is ignoring his lesser polling rivals, the other republican candidates are still trying to chip away at his front-runner status. santorum saying romney's passage of healthcare law weakens him. >> 75% of the american people would like to see it repealed in one fashion or another. it's the most pressing issue of our time because it's about who we are. why in the world would the republican party give that issue away in the general election? why would he do it? >> reporter: romney will be the likely nominee and if he reaches the 1144 threshold, if he fails, gingrich said there will be different party discussions. from that point on, read into

that what you will. >> gregg: newt gingrich making a big concession the rival mitt romney might win. former speaker admitting that romney is the likely front-runner. he told a wisconsin radio station he would be willing to support romney if that happens. now, gingrich saying, quote, i am comfortable that the day romney gets 1144 delegates we will all unify and support him with you he has to finish earning the delegates. that is how the process goes. >> jamie weinstein is the senior editor of the daily caller. good to see you. gingrich now admitting romney will probably get the 1144 delegates he needs. yet gingrich refuses to leave the race. how do you make sense of that? >> i think the reason is there are so many zoos across the nation he has yet to visit. i'm only partly joking. i followed gingrich tuesday in

maryland. he is enjoying himself. he is happy. he is promoting his ideas and surrounded by a big security detail of secret service agents. he would never get that if he was just not campaigning for president. after he finished his stop in annapolis, he stopped at a zoo. he stopped along the campaign trail. he likes animals. he is having a good time. he sees no reason to get out. he pretends he has a chance in what he calls a big choice convention. in his heart i think he knows it's not going to happen. >> gregg: politico has a well sourced story that gingrich is driven by ego and the need for attention. in fact they quote rich galen with the top gingrich aide in 1990s. here it is. a lot of us that were around him before and didn't think it was a good idea was worried this was

wait it was going to end. he is in danger i think of becoming a laughing stock. i don't know is that fair or unfair? >> i think will this tarnish him down the road if that he stayed in this long? this won't tarnish him. you remember in 2008, you had bill clinton that said nasty things about president obama. he refused to say he was qualified for president during the primary. people said that would tarnish his image. no one remembers. that you had mike huckabee staying in the race until john mccain got all the delegates. >> gregg: he so record saying incredibly harsh things about mitt romney. if that is played over and over again, in an endless loop in the general election, and it contributes to a republican defeat, might that seriously damage the gingrich legacy? >> that is exactly my point. it's not that he is going to

stay in too long. but the things he said along the trail. i think gingrich will start two ad,000 fall. one against house members who supported paul ryan's budget plan. they are going to show the clip on meet the press when he called it radical. even gingrich called the plan radical. also in ads who will be likely nominee, mitt romney, saying he was a businessman and tried to harm the workers, companies he took over by firing them. used gingrich against romney. that could tarnish his legacy. >> gregg: if his motivation for staying in the race is to play a role at convention, isn't that in a way impossible under the strict rules unless he gets a majority of delegates? >> it seems impossible of this big idea convention where everyone is going to debate going into convention and he is going to emerge victorious.

it's impossible to imagine coming into the convention in a distant third place in delegates and without the momentum that comes with winning states somehow the delegates are going to pick newt gingrich when they didn't pick him in the elections of each states going on. it's a pipe dream. >> gregg: i guess his campaign is hurting. if you want a picture with newt gingrich, you have to pay $50. >> he is charging people to take a picture with him on the trail. you heard of the bridge to nowhere. this is the campaign to nowhere at this point. he is in the race but i think he is enjoying campaigning. >> gregg: all right. jamie, thank you. firefighters are racing against mother nature to contain a wildfire southwest of denver. 25 homes have been destroyed and hundreds of families forced to evacuate. rising temperatures threaten to

set back firefighters progress. maria molina is live. >> unfortunately we're seeing conditions that are basically going to help wildfires spread very quickly. that is the situation that is ongoing across colorado, but further off to the north towards montana and further off across portions in new mexico. take a look at some of the temperatures across colorado, 20 degrees above average, just shy of 90 degrees. over in denver, high temperature of 83 degrees with a lot of sunshine and also very strong winds. up to 40 miles an hour and once you have a fire, it can spread under these conditions, low humidity, less than 107 and gusty winds. as far as temperatures go, it's going to stay warm. as we head into the second half of the weekend you're going to see those very warm temperatures actually spread across the plains, further off to the east across western parts of the carolinas, 30 degrees above

average from dakotas down through portions of western kansas and 20 degrees above average in cities like chicago. take a look at the highs tomorrow. we could be seeing a high of 90 degrees in dallas. we remember last year the incredible drought that is across texas and incredibly warm temperatures, well over the 90s and triple-digits during the summer. hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. we do expect a warm summer in parts of the south. and precipitation we've got snow early this morning. not a lot of it. but there were snow showers flying around and you could see another round as you head into tomorrow morning with another disturbance that will be swinging through. it's not going to be a big deal but snow showers. >> maria, live in the weather center, thanks. >> gregg: calls for justice in the trayvon martin case, thousands gathering where the teenage was shot. we'll tell you what civil rights leaders are demanding and latest details in the investigation, a

>> gregg: two states at odds over the investigation into t you remember her? the utah mom that went missing in 2009. her husband josh, a person of interest in the case never arrested. tragically josh later killed himself and two young sons in washington state in february. washington prosecutor says there was enough evidence to charge josh powell with murder. hi, anna. gruesome evidence from unsealed files brought to light. have authorities in washington state and utah at odds over how the 2009 disappearance of susan powell should have been handled. authorities found a handwritten letter she didn't trust her

husband and if she died, it may not be an accident. her blood was found on the floor next to a sofa that appeared to have recently cleaned and life insurance policies totaled $1.5 million. josh powell always maintained his innocence but a washington state prosecutor said this would enough to lock him up. >> i read enough there is direct evidence, there is circumstantial evidence and there is motive. there is everything but the body. >> reporter: susan was reported missing in 2009 and josh claimed she last saw her before going camping with her two sons. but the documents said one of the sons that the mother went with them but never came back. utah police stand by their actions, there wasn't enough evidence to arrest him at the time but haven't ruled out murder and kidnapping in what they still call a missing person's case. >> my department is committed to locating susan and bringing a

resolution to this case. >> reporter: a lawyer for josh's dad requested the documents unsteefd. stephen is facing child pornography charges. you remember he murdered the boys and committed suicide setting his house on fire. >> gregg: sad story. anna, thanks very much. >> patti ann: the syrian regime says the violent year long revolt is over but troops aren't pulling out just yet and the violence rages on. are there any hopes for a cease-fire? >> gregg: demanding justice in the shooting death of trayvon martin taking their cause to the police department. we're live in florida. >> patti ann: the fate of healthcare overhaul rests with the supreme court but a loss in the courts could spell a win on election day for the president. my name is robin.

>> patti ann: civil rights activists al sharpton and jesse jackson joined protestors. they are demanding an arrest and taking their fight to the steps of the police department. steve harrigan is live with more on this. >> reporter: more than a thousand protestors were out here in front of the police station for several hours this afternoon. they were led in a march of more than a mile led by jesse jackson and al sharpton. if there is no arrest in the case, george zimmerman is not arrested there could be civil disobedience and some kind of sanctions. local business leaders are opposed to any form of economic boycott. in an emotional address to the crowd here, sharpton said america still had a long way to go before it reached social justice. >> we've made great progress and

at the same time, in some areas we haven't moved at all. we can put a black man in the white house, but we can't walk a black child through a gated area here in sanford florida. >> the main demand is that the shooter be arrested. really all the cards in the hands of the special prosecutor and she has not said when or if there will be charges filed and an arrest made. >> patti ann: steve, live in florida, thank you. >> gregg: no end to the violence in syria. despite claims from the government there that the uprising is over, the assad regime allegedly agreed to a u.n. cease-fire but government troops have not taken the first steps of withdrawing from residential areas. the violence continues. christian is a former state department advisor. it's a little like saying the

rainstorm is over when you are getting pounded by hail. is there any indication that the revolt is over? >> no, there is not. it could have been foreseen. the deal was worked out the kasime adilo. secretary-general who he oversaw one of the largest scandals in history. he has a plan the syrians broke it before the ink was cry on this. they have implemented none of the steps but there is a cost to this because now the west because of what they thought was good safe agreement between the syrian government and' opponents they stopped support what they were giving to the rebels which was rhetorical. >> gregg: i want to ask you about the plan by kofi annan, it means that the international community has failed the syrian

people? >> they certainly have done a whole lot of favors. we step back and we are in new middle east. the u.n. has never been useful to u.s. interests. this is another case where the so-called international community and the u.n. and other organizations is not particularly useful. you need nation states, governments with principles to pay attention to political outcomes in these places around the world that were asleep at the wheel like in egypt that glides into the hands of the muslim brotherhood. now you have the obama approach of doing virtually nothing. mccain calling for a no-fly zone. there is a lot we could be doing but we're not. >> gregg: this u.n. plan calls for eventual democratic transition. would assad ever allow that or is that sort of a naive if not

effectless proposal? >> i think judging from the track record of this government. this is government that has killed 9,000 of its own people. are they really going to sit down in good faith especially rebels laid down arms and follow through is very unlikely judging from history. >> gregg: i want to turn to iran. president obama agreeing on friday to tough new sanctions to allow iran's oil to slow iran's exports to cut it off to other nations. do you think it will deter iran's suspected nuclear program or is it clear nothing short of force will stop them from weaponizing? >> it's been impossible to correlate any of the sanctions which are real they have an economic on the iranian people with a decrease in nuclear activity. activity related to the nuclear weapons program. if you look what the iaea

continues to report, the program is full speed ahead. everybody seems convinced that is on track. president obama spent his first year in office in his words, out stretching his hands to the iranian regime. now you have sanctions that are tough but gone on slowly. so we've made it easy for them to adapt to the sanctions. >> gregg: hillary clinton expressing doubt that iran has any intention of negotiating a solution. perhaps more important than that she said, quote, our policy is one of prevention not containment. do you buy that? do you think it's true? there are many u.s. senators on capitol hill that don't buy that. >> right. i don't buy that. more importantly the people who run iran don't buy that. >> the people that run north korea don't buy that. this is as much shadow boxing from the obama administration.

they talk tough during election strategy because they took heat being off the soft on israel, not coming to their aid. if you look at where our forces and what the intent of this administration has said and what is criteria of using force, is when u.s. interests are not at stake we are absolutely not going to intervene in iran. >> gregg: to play this out. let's assume for a moment that president obama wins re-election wins a 2nd term. do you think the president, if israel doesn't act militarily, the president would acquiesce and simply argue we could contain the nuclear weapons like we did the cold war. would he make a pivot like that so dramatic? >> i think so. and establishment think tanks, maybe we should planning for the eventually of that. the main first step, our alleys

are underneath the nuclear unumbrella so you have countries possibly pursuing their own nuclear arsenals that increases odds that a nuke could make its way into the hands of terrorists. >> gregg: israel is so tiny. all it would take is one nuclear detonation. christian, thank you very much. >> patti ann: a mother is charged with contempt after, she could be facing jail time after making a religious decisions for her kids. >> new questions about president obama strategy after an open mic moment with russia's president. they are asking if the president is putting 60 tough decisions after election day. our power panel weighing in next. toothpaste is not formulated for cleaning dentures,

>> patti ann: new questions after president obama is caught in a candid moment this week. he was speaking with russia's president he'll have more flexibility on missile defense after his re-election. critics are asking if the president is delaying tough decisions. let's bring in our power panel to discuss this. jehmu greene is the former president of the women's media center. sally cohen is fox news contributor and deneen borelli is fellow and fox news contributor. they have a lot more titles than that but we would be here all day. [ laughter ] >> president obama, we'll start with you, it's not uncommon statistically for presidents in the towards year of their term to delay some tough decisions they feel if they are going to get elected?

>> the primary role of the federal government is protect our country. it's very concerning. our allies look like this at mistrust but there is misis trust of the american people when we see president obama take part in initiatives like this. it's very concerning. >> patti ann: they say other issues that might invite bold initiatives, gay marriage, the pipeline, is the president putting off some of these until the republican heat is off? >> this is out like a mountain made out of a microphone hill. look the democrats and the republicans both feel their hands are tied until after this election. if you look at john boehner, he can't get his caucus to do anything because they are trying to look good for the election. if the president could have gone to russia and said, we got rid

of one nuke for every 25 they got rid of. any foreign policy analyst, that is good deal, but, in this heightened partisan environment, republicans would have attacked the president as being soft on nuclear preparedness because he got rid of one nuclear weapon for every 25. its bad situation to be in. that is just foreign policy realism. >> it's one thing for the reality to be that maybe he is putting off bold initiatives but is it too honest to be admitting that to the president of russia? >> i don't think our president can never be too honest. we grave more from our politicians. i think it's a little crazy to expect that any sort of breakthrough is going to happen in an election year. breakthrough happen in therapy not election years. [ laughter ] >> that is problem with

politics. it's so busy playing to their base. we can't get anything done. i don't necessarily think immigration reform is a bold initiative. it is something that had bipartisan support for many years and was moving in the right direction until the tea party and the far right wing took over the republican party and they totally turned their backs on really important role that the federal government has not been doing. >> patti ann: last word on in this. >> getting back to the missile defense, how come obama isn't campaigning on such initiative. to address your point about immigration, we are country of laws and rules. the republicans don't have anything about people emigrating to the united states so i don't agree with your comment. >> patti ann: we'll move on to the next comment. supreme court is deciding the federal health care law but if part or all is struck down, could it be a win for the

president? one writer for the "washington post" that he has an issue that can rally the base around him and it could boomerang against the republicans. they will be gulping champagne like they don't care about people who lack health insurance. could this turn out a win if obama loses? >> the reality is, everybody is going to busy spinning this until june until we know what the court actually does. as an american i'm more worried about what the court is going to do. presidents turn over. we have a supreme court we had for very long time. that institution has to be concerned with preserving the legitimacy in the eyes of the american public. three or four americans think the decision will be along partisan lines.

we can't have that in this country. so they are going to make a decision, i sincerely hope it respects precedence and it's about the constitutionality and not trying to contort the constitution to make a political point. >> patti ann: what about that. the article brings up skepticism about whether the result will be political. >> i think people are looking at this decision as they are expecting it to be political. it is only going to add to the frustration of okay, congress has spoken. white house can't find a way to compromise with congress in any way. now, the supreme court is completely bought out too but not based on the decision what the healthcare point is, it goes back to the gore-bush decision and citizens united. they will say this is pattern that clearly shows that in the

same way that the far right has taken over congress and made it not be able to be productive, it has taken over the supreme court and politicized it that is undermining america. if they turn down the individual mandate, the loser here is the american people. that is what it boils down to. >> patti ann: obamacare is the gift keeps on giving. >> first of all it's a train wreck. it's over budget based on cbo reports. u.s. supreme court don't want to read it. nancy pelosi knew what was in it. its absolute train wreck. we can't afford it. we're going to have more people on medicaid, something like 16 million americans, we can't afford it. our country is broke. >> i think the real train wreck, the supreme court the individual mandate which was a conservative idea back when democrats were

pushing for universal single health care to address our run away insurance costs and lack of coverage for millions of americans. democrats put forward that idea, republicans said, no, no, let's do an individual mandate. let's take individual responsibility and republicans now don't like it's obama legislation. it's going to make -- >> it's the anniversary. >> it will make the case at single payer as the solution. >> obama the lawyer, obama is the president. he should have known it was unconstitutional. >> citizens united that the comparison in the article it could turn into a political win even if its court loss. we shall have to see. on lighter note, three people are mega millionaires after the largest jackpot in history. how can people prevent great

because she violated. why didn't you work this out in the counseling before you say i do and you get knocked up. >> some experts say tread go into the forbidden territory of spiritual doctrine. >> another mountain out of court of appeal hell. not let's not expect too much of the joke. it is laughable because a lot of people think the government is trying to infringe on personal practice. in fact, it's the opposite. this couple had a court bound agreement to respect their different religious agreements. they mutually agreed on it. this is an open and shut secular legal case that she clearly violated. >> patti ann: the father thinks the kids should than older and baptized.

he is not against baptism. >> she felt so strongly with it she went ahead with it but now she did violent a court order. but the kids are in the middle of this. they are seeing what is going on. they are in the middle which is very unfortunate. >> they are probably all going to turn out to be atheists. they are going to rebel. >> patti ann: high schools across the country are cracking down on racy dresses at the prom. banning things like low arm holes, too much cleavage or plunging dress backs and they are taking a ruler and it can't be three inches below the armpit and above the knee. i guess, deneen, we're back to this. >> parents should be policing what their children wear, and they would get to the school and change their clothes anyway. they are trying to lay the rules girls should dress age

appropriately, young, older. that is the situation. >> i am with deneen on this one. i think it is the role of parents. it's one of those things, at any time the older folks when they were younger they were will listening to music that parents hated. same thing with clothing. i don't think its an infringement in the school. they have to set what is appropriate. so the flip side of this is i think we have to be careful don't cross a line to suggest similar to all the hoopla around the hoodies that because young women are dressing in a certain way, it almost invites or opens the door to inappropriate behavior on the part of young men. you want to draw a straight line while preserving and empowering authority over their own bodies and sexual expression.

>> patti ann: she said a lot there, obviously. part of the concern on the parts of the parents and schools, these girls are dressing so sexy at this point. are they sending the wrong signal? >> first, when i read this piece and the principal was talking about hours and hours looking at the policy that was a little bit creepy. as a former prom queen, i had to bring it up, you know what we like when we're young, is going to be different than what our parents like. of course, authority figures should find ways to make sure that kids are dressing age appropriately. what about cheerleaders? you don't have principals in there measuring to see how much skin you see under a cheer leading skirt. the principal's time could be spent doing things that are actually more beneficial to these kids. when you think about women and

especially young women in the reasons why they want to show so much skin, i think there is better ways to address those issues. why are they so overly sexualized, it's coming from the media and industrial complex and there are things we can do that. >> that is great point. instead of spending the time, the principals and teachers on these committees, maybe they should be spending time teaching these young women to value their bodies, value themselves and thus dress in more appropriate and respectful ways. similarly to teach young men to value and respect young women. >> one of the articles, you would be fighting against popular culture, dancing with stars, a family program. the women are wearing skimpy outfits and all the celebrities, they are showing less and less. >> i think there should be more

significance on what the grades they are bringing home, what their study habits, are they passing their courses. again it's up to the parents. parents should be policing it because kids are surrounded by music videos and role models that should not be called role models. it's how parents handle the situation. >> you look at some of the "g" rated movies, you look at some of the princesses, they are dressed like "dancing with the stars". it starts with an early age and there is bigger ways to handle this, a high school principal flipping through prom dress books to determine how they should be dressing. they don't have time to do that. >> i don't think, if you are looking at dancing with the stars to pick out a prom dress. that is first problem. they are made for shows. they are not fashionable. i'm sorry. >> patti ann: we have to say a big thanks to our panel.

queen jehmu greene. [ laughter ] >> gregg: i should be on the panel because my daughter grace went to the prom last night. she had a beautiful age appropriate dress and i saw all the girls, about 206 them for the picture taking. they were all beautiful dresses and they were all appropriate. >> was dad there the whole time? [ laughter ] >> gregg: thank you very much. >> criminal charges against a jet blue pilot that lost it at 30,000 feet. state medical problem. what about the criminal charges, what about the civil charges? judge jeanine to look at that. >> i have two product in front of you. this will help save you a lot of money. this is product "y", this is

>> gregg: hello, everyone. i'm gregg jarrett. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> patti ann: and i'm patti ann in for heather childers. topping the news, vice president joe biden hits the campaign trail revealing what he believes might cost president obama the election. >> gregg: and stunning new evidence just revealed in the disappearance of utah mom susan powell whose husband later killed himself and their two young children. >> patti ann: and new stories of hope after the horror of the haiti earthquake. >> gregg: we begin begin with six lucky numbers adding up to a

big fortune. three winning tickets, which were bought in illinois, kansas and maryland. millions of ticket buyers across the country seeing their millionaire dreams vanish. the winning tickets now heading to easy street. each one is worth an estimated $213 million. you got to pay your taxes. one of the tickets was bought at a 7-11 store in milford, maryland. peter doocy is there live with more on that. hi, peter. >> hey. i'm here apparently day late. but it is a convenience store and as with many 7-11s, there are cameras and 7-11 has gone back and reviewed the footage from 7:15 p.m. last night because that is when someone walked up to this red machine and bought the winning ticket. 7-11 now has seen the winner on that footage, but don't know precisely who it is because in that one minute, four people here in part of the frenzy

bought tickets at 7:15 and they don't know who it is. they say it's not a regular who came in, bought just the ticket for one dollar and then walked out. yesterday at this location alone, 1532 mega million tickets were sold and in maryland, the winner can stay anonymous. we might not ever know. i asked the director of the lottery this morning if the winner for sure knows they won and he said they might not. >> it's possible that they don't know. we hear stories about how people bought tickets and don't look at them. i would think that because of all the attention that people are check more closely. but we had a jackpot winner for powerball in september, i think the drawing was on a wednesday night and it wasn't until he was watching the thursday night football that something triggered him to say i need to look at my powerball ticket and he had won like $108 million.

>> again, we don't know if the person won. but take a look. this red machine that i'm going to rub for good luck, printed out a little piece of paper that somebody bought for this much that is now worth over $200 million. i talked to the woman who sold the winning ticket yesterday and really her overall feeling was one of just amazement and awe that she was that close to a piece of paper worth that much money. >> gregg: was it a random selection of numbers? >> it was. it was a quick pick ticket. a lot of people play their lucky numbers, this person man or woman, did not do that. they also, a lot of people go in with pools and a lot of people come and buy ten. this person waited in a line at 7:15 last night and only bought the one ticket. >> gregg: the odds of that are ridiculous, isn't it? what a lucky person.

you're a day late, peter. thanks very much. peter doocy. >> patti ann: we'd like it thank adele for the musical accompaniment. >> gregg: nice touch. did you notice all the people going up and touching it for good luck? >> patti ann: yeah. i don't know if that works, but who knows. meanwhile, you have animals weighing in on the mega millions lottery. some folks consider elephants to be a symbol of good luck. at the columbus, meet this one. perhaps the animal kingdom will have better luck picking the winner of the nacc basketball tournament. emma is an otter who protects kentucky will win it all. the keeper says emma knows her sports. >> it can be a little bit silly with their toys, picking up different things and getting really interactive with the public. >> serious when it comes to sports? >> very serious when it comes to sports. particularly emma. >> patti ann: we'll have to see if she's right after the game on monday.

>> gregg: emma says she's pulling for kentucky? >> patti ann: yeah. >> gregg: just because of that, i'm calling it for louisville. okay? so we'll see who is smarter. now to the race for the white house, the final weekend of campaigning before wisconsin voters head to the polls, 42 delegates are up for grabs there. three republican presidential candidates are speaking today at the wisconsin faith and freedom coalition gathering and newt gingrich telling folks there that this election is crucial to the future of our country. >> this is the most important election of your lifetime. the reelection of barak obama will be a disaster for our children and grandchildren and a disaster for our country. >> gregg: doug mcelway is live in washington with more. >> with high profile endorse ams, it's becoming clear mitt romney is marching towards the nomination. that's not stopping rick santorum from pulling out all the stops to deny romney that prize. santorum angering top party

officials by teaming up with ron paul in washington state to deny romney or at least try to deny romney the 43 delegates which have not been committed yet. in an e-mail, his coordinator said in order for us to win the nomination in tampa, we must deny romney delegates to that convention. that's why the senator himself directed us to coalition with the ron paul campaign. ahead of that state's election, romney said zeroing in on the expansion of government. >> president obama believes in the government centered society. he doesn't call it that precisely, but you listen to his speeches, there is no question. he believes government guiding our lives will do a better job in doing so than individuals pursuing their own freedoms in

their own ways. >> newt gingrich admitted yesterday it's looking more and more certain that romney will claim the nomination, but then he added this. >> if governor romney does get 1144, i'll be glad to help him defeat barak obama. if he doesn't get to 1144, then i think you'll see very different party discussion from that point on. i think we owe it to our supporters. >> because this nomination is so late in being decided, maryland which also holds its primary on tuesday, becomes relevant for the first time in about 40 years. its 37 delegates are awarded in winner take all and proportional allocation. back to you. >> gregg: doug, thanks very much. >> patti ann: civil rights activists demanding justice today in florida leading thousands of protest increase a march in sanford calling for an arrest in the trayvon martin case. the 17-year-old was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer last month. steve harrigan is live outside the sanford police department with the very latest on this.

hi, steve. >> hey. for several hours this afternoon more than 1,000 protesters were behind me out in front of this sanford police department. they were led in a parch by reverend jesse jackson and al sharpton. sharpton said unless there is an arrest made in this case in the shooting of trayvon martin soon, it could lead to civil disobedience and perhaps economic sanctions, something they're very much against. crowds lined the march. people coming out of their houses, out of their businesses and reverend sharpton when he addressed the crowd, really addressed their main demand. that an arrest be made now. >> he walked out that car like there was nothing that was wrong with him and you going to walk him back into a police car and you're going to handcuff him again, but this time you're going to print him, you're going to book him, you're going to photo him and you're going to bring him before a jury of his

peers. >> the case now is in the hands of the special prosecutor and there has been no public timetable as to whether, when or if any arrest will be made. back to you. >> patti ann: all right, steve harrigan live in florida. thank you. >> gregg: overseas now, a coordinated car bombing attack killing at least 14 people, wounding more than 300 in thailand. investigators say the first explosion hit a major shopping area. the second wave hit 20 minutes later as onlookers were gathering near the blast site. police suspect muslim insurgents are behind the attacks in the southern city of yala. more than 5,000 people have been killed by extremist violence there since 2004. >> patti ann: frightening scene at sea near the philippines. a cruise ship catching fire with 1,000 people on board. right now it's slowly heading to port in malaysia, but not before a fire destroyed its engines and injured five crew members yesterday. so far engineers have managed to

restore some engine power to the crippled cruiser. it's carrying about 600 passengers. mostly americans and europeans. it's owned by royal caribbean cruises. >> gregg: fire crews near denver battling mother nature to contain a massive wild fire. high winds, hot, dry tinder conditions, major concern now. officials say the fire is about 90% contained. but police are warning hundreds of people be prepared to get out on a moment's notice. two people have been killed by the fire. one person is missing. dozens of homes have been destroyed. >> patti ann: new worries now for folks in oregon who were hard hit by flooding back in january. a flood warning is now in effect for the river near mapleton. folks are watching the water hoping they won't get swamped again. >> i would be very surprised if it comes in here again. i really hope it doesn't.

the water level came up to here. >> we didn't have insurance. we spent a lot of money. if it happens again, we'll have to be another couple grand in the hole. >> patti ann: meteorologist maria molina is live now. some folks can't catch break. >> we're looking at heavy rain possible across oregon. i want to start with our severe weather risk. i have that forecast for the river in oregon. first, tornado warning has just been issued across middle tennessee. that goes in effect until 15 past the hour and includes southwestern parts of guys county, southeast of lawrenceburg. meteorologists spotted rotation with some of these thunderstorms that you can see popping up on dare to the north of huntsville, alabama. again, rotation out there does mean a tornado could touchdown very shortly or could already be on the ground. when a tornado gets issued for your county, seek shelter moldly. we'll continue to watch this area throughout the evening

hours as we continue to see these thunderstorms firing up. that could produce severe weather from eastern arkansas through northern parts of mississippi, alabama and middle portions of tennessee. this is going to be a continuing risk. we have a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 9:00 p.m. central time for parts of tennessee and also northern alabama and mississippi. now towards oregon, we're looking at a lot of heavy rain out there and the one good news for the river is we're expecting the river water to continue to recede. so by basically sunday afternoon, we're expecting the river to be to normal levels. it did crest on friday afternoon a little more than 20 feet in height and now it's gradually receding. but we're still going to continue to get pummeled with a lot of rain, through california because we have an area of low pressure offshore pulling in a lot of moisture. areas of heavy rain across parts of washington. right now a bit of a lull across western oregon. more heavy rain coming into areas east of san francisco, sacramento, those areas in yellow where we have moderate to heavier rain. you really need the umbrella and

as we got into higher elevation, you start to see snow. coming down. accumulations could be over a half foot of snow. watch out for dangerous driving conditions out there. we're going to continue to see this moisture come into this area over the next 72 hours. as you take a look out west in washington, that area right there in orange is over three to four inches of rain. locally higher amounts. over two feet of snow possible. >> patti ann: thank you. >> gregg: it has been two years since the devastating earthquake rocked haiti. it left hundreds of orphans, but with nothing but clothes they were wearing that day. thanks to a dramatic air lift, dozens of children taken to safety in pittsburgh. now after all the waiting and filling out paperwork, the last three adoptions are final. the new families say they're doing just fine. >> we already have six kids, so now we have eight. fortunately, we have children the same age as them.

so it was a little bit louder and it remains a little louder, but the transition was natural. >> we go outside and, like, we shoot basketball. >> what's fun is we get to do a lot of things in english and going to school. >> he fits right in. the kids press peach other's buttons and help each other out. just like normal siblings. >> we also hear the children are making new friends and doing quite well in school. so congratulations and all the parents who adopted. that's so great. >> patti ann: very caring people all came out after the tragedy. >> gregg: absolutely. >> patti ann: all right. politically, joe biden is downplaying the role of voters in the presidential election. the vp saying only a few things might produce a loss by president obama, including super pac money. is this a fair assessment? we'll have a fair and balanced debate straight ahead. >> gregg: plus, chaos on board that jetblue flight. the pilot now facing criminal charges after a major meltdown at 30,000 feet.

>> gregg: time for a quick check of the headlines. deadly scene outside a miami funeral home. an apparent drive-by shooting killing two people, injuring 12 mourners. the syrian government refusing to back down and end that deadly yearlong conflict with opponents of president al assad. the united nations estimating more than 9,000 people have been killed. new round of diplomatic talks concerns iran's nuclear program. secretary of state hillary clinton making the announcement today. iran and six world powers now agreeing to meet in turkey april 13. >> patti ann: vice president joe biden raising eyebrows, saying none of the republican candidates could beat president obama on their own merits and that if there is a gop victory, it would be due to overseas issues or the role of super pac money. on a campaign stop this week, he said, quote, i think we will be beaten if we are, by something

happening in the euro zone or in the gulf, which could be difficult for us, or this barrage of super pac money. as of today, the 403 groups organized as super pacs brought in over $150 million. much of that going to support the various candidates competing for the white house. let's bring in our political panel, doug schoen and fox news contributor, and matt, former white house political director under president george w. bush. thank you for joining us. >> happy to be here. >> patti ann: so let's start with you, doug. so really you would have to be an external event, none of the republican candidates could beat the president on their own merits? >> if you look why governor romney is now, his negative is close to 50%. he's trailing president obama in key swing states like ohio and florida, virginia, north carolina. and bottom line, the republican race, while it shows signs of winding down, remains incredibly negative. the president's approval is

inching toward 50%. while i think the vice president may have overstated it a bit, i don't think he overstated it by much. >> patti ann: biden followed up by saying, but i'm very confident the president is going to win. he was just saying in the off chance that he doesn't these would be the reasons. what do you make of it all? >> i just really appreciate president obama picking joe biden to be his running mate. he's the gift that keeps on giving for people like me. i think joe biden needs to remember that he's a candidate and he's the vice president of the united states. he's not a pundit. he's not doing what doug or i am doing and he ought to be confident and be able to project to vote wars a second obama term looks like instead of trying to talk about if gas prices went high or if there were economic problems in europe. my lord, both of those things are happening before our eyes. he made us all feel a lot better on the republican side. >> patti ann: doug, we're referring to these other factors as external events, but there are some things like the economy

and other things like that that the president has some control over. is it fair to say, oh, it's external? is there anything really external to the president? >> external issues like a crisis concerning iran, which you were just talking about, or default of greece or something like that. those are events that the president doesn't control. but you're absolutely right to say that a down turn in the american economy, continual spike in gas price, those are things that voters believe are within the purview of the president and certainly there is every reason to believe that they will be at issue and make for a competitive election. >> patti ann: and doug, you had earlier mixed the supreme court decision that it might make on health care. we were talking about some experts believe this could be turned into a positive for the president. he can rally the base behind this outrageous decision by the

supreme court. what about all that, matt? >> we don't know what the court will do. we all watched this really historic debate and i just can't help thinking this is a really interesting decision for the president to be in where you really have the political story which could really overshadow this entire race be about whether or not president obama has a fundamental american grasp for where the american people want the government to be with their lives. i think obamacare was a huge overstep and i think it puts him at a great weakened position and doug is a pollster, but he can reiterate if you look at poll after poll, obamacare was an overreach. if it gets overturned, i think he's in a weakened position. now what do i tell the american people? >> patti ann: let's go back to the super pac money for a moment. we have a graphic showing how

much the largest super pac for each candidate has brought in so far. mitt romney way in the lead. his largest super pac. he's got many others. the largest brought in more than $43 million. gingrich has brought in only $19 million with his largest super pac. president obama, 6 1/2 million. rick santorum, a little less than that. and ron paul, a little less than that. but doug, campaigns are not what they used to be. you have the internet. you have bigger influence by more smaller influences, you might say. is super pac money all that important? >> it's critically important. biden was right about that. if romney is able to continue to outspend obama by seven to one with super pac money and given the con influence of forces on the right, american crossroads, americans for prosperity, club for growth, if they put in the kind of money that i know they

can, this is a huge, huge challenge for the democrats not one to be underestimated. >> patti ann: we have to leave it there. thank you both for joining us today. >> thank you. >> gregg: when money is tight now and again, it's very hard for some companies to hang on to the top workers. well, there are creative employers out there coming up with some pretty interesting perks to get those folks to stake around. we'll tell but it. >> patti ann: shocking new details revealed about the search for susan powell. it turns out police knew more than they let on. >> during this interview, charlie disclosed his mommy went camping with them, although she did not come back home with them and did not know why. some weeks later, charlie comment to do a teacher in the state of washington, my mom is dead. lots of anti-aging products promise beauty miracles.

>> new evidence previously sealed files about josh powell following his wife's disappearance is painting a sinister picture. pitting prosecutors against investigators in utah. authorities found her blood on a floor next to the sofa that appeared to be cleaned. life insurance policies totaling 1 1/2 million dollars and a handwritten will that said she didn't trust her husband and if she died, it may not have been an accident. >> we take a vigorous approach to charging and based on the facts that we now know, i can say that the case against josh powell for the murder of susan powell is one that we would have charged. >> josh originally told investigators he last saw his wife before going camping with their two sons in 2009. however, according to the new documents, charlie told police his mother went with them, but

never came home. shortly after the disappearance, they moved to washington state to live with josh's dad, steve powell. but an investigation and subsequent arrest of steve for child pornography and voyeurism set off a terrible chain of events, lead to go josh killing himself and his two sons in a deadly blaze. >> josh powell murdered his two sons, charlie and braden, josh powell then cowardly committed suicide. despite these events, susan powell is still missing. her whereabouts, we haven't solved that yet and what happened to her. we still need to work on that. >> utah police stand by their actions, saying there was not enough evidence to arrest josh before his death. but have not ruled out murder and kidnapping and what they still call a missing person's case. patti ann. >> patti ann: thank you. >> gregg: today protesters in florida marched in support of trayvon martin. he is the teen-ager allegedly killed late last month. we know he was killed by a

neighborhood watch volunteer. the question is was it a homicide? was it a murder? the protesters are furious that george zimmerman hasn't been arrested. the national media caught wind of the story, it sparked a national outcrime now there is some question as to whether the media is getting caught up in all the emotion. author journalist and fox news contributor liz trotta joins me with more. >> good afternoon. the you've missile, the media reached conclusions with no facts. watching the coverage this past week has been like watching sausage made. the old line about you never want to eat it if you did see it. it was really ugly to watch for its latent bias and practical conviction of george zimmerman. let me give you a first example which came from msnbc, probably the worst offender. we have columnists from the "new

york times," charles blow, who was questioning joe oliver, who claims to be a friend of george zimmerman. see for yourselves. >> are you saying that you know george zimmerman's voice better than trayvon's mother knows his voice? >> i'm saying as lawrence pointed out, i've had numerous conversations with george and because now -- >> have you ever heard george zimmerman scream? >> what is the point of asking questions if you're not giving me a chance to answer. >> answer the question. >> as far as george raising his voice, yeah, i heard him raise his voice before, not in anger. >> scream? >> you know what, why are we having this discussion if you're not listening to my answer? you're not giving me a chance to finish my answer, why are we having this? >> you don't have an answer. >> patti ann: one is tempted to ask who does mr. blow think he is? he's already established himself as a sob sister columnist to the

"new york times" and he's lately written glowing portraits of the deceased and the deceased's mother. and i would say he hadn't met either of them before this i want, but he has written this glorification. another really very biased and unfair media example is nbc news, they did a brian -- brian williams was anchoring and they did a show with a couple of their black employee, one was my favorite anchorman of all time, lester holt. but unhappily, mr. holt and tamara hall, also an anchor h to agree to telling their experiences as a black person, how the cops would follow them, how security people in departments would follow them. it was a sorry show. where is the objectivity on this and why do you involve your black reporters and anchors into this kind of framework can only hurt their credibility. that was really bad, i think,

gregg. of course, there is always al sharpton at msnbc and his boss, philip griffin, of course, excuses his appearance as an activist and also anchoring his own show at the same time as providing a quote, unquote, unique perspective. you know, that's wonderful term from the far left, unique perspective. it means that they're reaching really far to make their liberal case without any facts to back it up. >> it's interesting, sharpton and jackson, in fact, jesse jackson says blacks are under attack. if you look at the f.b.i. statistics, african-americans make up 13% of the population, yet 49% of all homicides. and in 93% of those cases, according to the f.b.i., the killer is black. so one wonders why sharpton and jackson seem to be focusing on something that is statistically rare, but largely ignoring that which is quite common, black on

black homicides in america. >> that's very true. this is the real world. the world that you point out is the world we live on, where the -- live in, which which is black crime not only has pat buchanan pointed this out in a wonderful piece this week, but heather mcdonald, an expert on crime in new york city, points out that 83% of all identified gun assailants were black. now, these are facts. why must we convict george zimmerman before he's even arrested? the fact that he isn't arrested, i open that to the court. but let's not fry the guy before he's even been given a hearing and that's what he's getting now is a hearing. it's been a disgraceful show from the media, both the written media and the broadcast media. >> gregg: thanks very much. >> thank you. >> patti ann: extra work without a pay raise? more responsibilities and expensesive health insurance?

these are just some of the obstacles facing fed up employees around the country. now some companies are going beyond the paycheck and offering a unique perks to find and keep good talent. anita vogel is live in los angeles with this story. hi, anita. >> hi. it sure is hard to find a good job with a big paycheck and a big bonus these days. so in order to find good workers, companies are happy to create a plan b to recruit the best and the brightest and to stay competitive. >> we really try and keep the company a place where you want to be. let's face it, we spend a good portion of our waking hours here at the office working. >> that's exactly why some companies offer more than just the usual health and financial benefits. a growing number now boast unique perks to help keep talented workers on board while helping to attract new employees. at natural habitat adventure, a bolder, colorado based travel company, the dogs run free, and so does the beer.

with the company long enough. in some companies, less pay, but maybe less stress. back to you. >> patti ann: but maybe less productivity in the company that offers beer? beer? during the day? >> beer during the day. they want to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're at home. >> patti ann: that's for sure. anita vogel live in l.a we got a keg under the desk, right? >> gregg: not sure that's a great idea. air travelers enduring some terrifying mid flight incidents recently. the latest involving the meltdown of a jetblue captain. how liable is the airline for any medical issues before he got into the cockpit? judge jeanine pirro joins us.

>> gregg: prosecutors now charging the jetblue pilot who had a wild outburst with interfering with a crew. williamss say the pilot was running through the cabin screaming about iraq, afghanistan, al-qaeda before finally being tackled and restrained by passengers, but if his meltdown was caused by a medical problem, what about those criminal charges? here now, judge jeanine, host of justice with us with judge jeanine. look, if he didn't know right from wrong, had a mental disease or defect so severe, isn't that insanity? >> you're teeing up the insanity defense. you and i both know if he didn't know the difference between right and wrong and he didn't know the consequences, then those charges will be dismissed. i don't think there is any question but that they will be. whether or not there was a clinical issue, did he have a consumer? did avenue stroke?

what we know about this guy is he had 12 years as a pilot, clean record, no problems. but gregg, why are we seeing more of this? remember the flight attendant a few months ago on american who said the plane was going to crash? why are people having meltdowns on airplanes? >> gregg: maybe it's because the airlines airlines are not properly screening and testing psychologically all of their pilots and flight attendants on a regular basis. >> therein lies the rub. what they do, pilots go through a physical exam. they have to have a first class medical exam where every six months they're examined medically, but not psychologically. and if you think these guys and ladies are going to come out and say, hey, i've got some psychological issues, i've got a psychosis, there is no chance. it's a career ender. but you mow what's interesting? the airlines are just now allowing pilots to admit that they're taking antidepressants. but what we're seeing now is what we saw in the robert bales

case. remember the sergeant in afghanistan who was charged with killing all those people? he had just had a medical evaluation. here is the truth. these evaluations don't test the psychological issues. that's the problem. and we're going to see more and more. >> gregg: so you're suggesting that maybe a good lawyer can make an argument that the airline is negligent in fail to go protect the passengers. wouldn't that be the tort of negligent infliction of emotional distress? >> well, the negligent infliction of emotional distress is certainly possible, but the airlines would have to at least be aware that there was a risk that this guy had a problem. you and i both know that unless there was some prior problem with a clean record, they don't have it. >> gregg: the standard is knew or should have known. >> how could they have known if the guy had a record of perfect performance and the only problem was that he was one hour late for the preflight crew routine evaluation there?

there is nothing there. if they had any idea, then i'm a passenger on this airplane, i'm freaking out. i feel stressed. i'm suing jetblue. remember the guy who inflated the chute and took off? what's with jetblue. >> gregg: let's assume they can get it past a judge and get it in front of a jury. what's the value of the mental anguish minute after minute after minute until they land the plane, second after second after second? i see a lot of damages. >> we death do because there are some people who say, i'm afraid to fly a plane. maybe something in the air. everybody is having a break down at 30,000 feet. >> gregg: when you think about the damages here and jetblue is offering a a refund of their ticket and two new tickets, that ain't going to cut it. >> it isn't. but didn't the concordia say we'll give 50u% off the next trip or something. >> gregg: "justice" we'll be watching it tonight. 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on the fox news channel. patti ann.

>> patti ann: new york city, the first confirmed case of botulism there in 15 years and another suspected case. >> gregg: both patients recently purchasing tofu from the very same store. the health department investigating that as a possible link. dr. mark siegle is a member of the fox news medical a team and professor of medicine at new york university here in new york city. good to see you. >> this is amazing. there is more of this than you think. less than 500 cases over the past 20 years, but most of those are in alaska because of the food. you almost never see it in a place like this. when you do, it's usually canned foods which haven't been pressure cooked well enough. you remember the old one in 1971, that was botulism. if you pressure cook your food, you're not going to get this. problem is, we think it's tofu and it's the kind that's sitting this in the water, it's not

cooked. it's raw and even if you cook it, the spores from the botulism can actually stay alive and they make this toxin. it's not the bacteria that gets you, it's the toxin and it's that same toxin that people are injecting into their face all the time. >> patti ann: that's the thing. botox. i don't get it. >> but much, much more of it. now there is only about 7 or 8% people will die from this because we've got respirators. you get paralyzed, your facial muscles get paralyzed, you can't breathe. we put you on a respirator and give you a toxin, antitoxin from a horse. >> gregg: unbelievable. >> and that works. so you stay paralyzed for weeks and weeks ask weeks. you stay on a respirator, ultimately you will recover. we mix it up with another disease where you get paralyzed. >> patti ann: the key to preventing this is refringe of fridge rarity -- refrigeration with the tofu.

>> i agree. also not putting it in these vats of water where the thing can basically breed. canned food, the key is pressure cooking or autoclaving. >> gregg: early diagnosis, is that the key here? >> early diagnosis, they can induce vomiting or use enemas, they can get it out of your system. this will occur within 48 to 72 hours after you've been exposed to it. it's not right away. so you're starting to feel ill. maybe you're getting a twitch or dry mouth, that's another sign. go to your doctor. as usual, i don't want to scare people. people in queens that maybe have been to this store that maybe had the same tofu should be frightened and look into this quickly, but no one else. it's not like we're having an outbreak of this here. >> patti ann: they're saying anybody who bought it from a similar kind of water vat, unrefrigerated should throw it out and even the stinky tofu is still dangerous. >> exactly. because of the spores.

if you get your botox, you're not going to get it from that. >> gregg: yeah. relatively safe. all right. dr. mark siegle, good to see you. you can catch more of him at 10:30 eastern on sunday house call right here on the fox news channel. >> patti ann: that's going to do it for us. i'm patti ann brown here with gregg and rick folbaum and arthel neville will take over at the top of the hour. >> gregg: i'll see balk back here tomorrow at -- back here tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern. have a great saturday and sunday as well. bye-bye your finances can't manage themselves. but that doesn't mean they won't try. bring all your finances together with the help of the one person who can. a certified financial planner professional.
