and here's a sneak peek, you can hear their story tomorrow. >> dave: and they get their wedding music by the best country music stars on the planet. >> clayton: see you next weekend. >> jamie: good morning, everyone, a "fox news alert" for you as pressure builds on iran, are we safer today than we were yesterday? u.s. patience over iran's nuclear program is running thin and hillary clinton is warning that time is dwindling to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis. the clock ticking, as we sit here. good morning, i'm jamie colby, welcome to a new hour of america's news headquarters. >> eric: i'm eric sean, the secretary of state delivering the message as she puts it, iran's window of opportunity for a peaceful resolution she says is closing, the international community demanding answers on iran's suspected nuclear weapons program. it is a tough message that she gave, as she tours the middle

east. here's the secretary of state speaking in saudi arabia. >> it soon will be clear whether iran's leaders are prepared to have a serious, credible discussion about their nuclear program. what is certain, however, is that iran's window to seek and obtain a peaceful resolution, will not remain open, forever. >> eric: can iran be stopped? u.s. ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contributor, joins us every sunday, about this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, glad to be here. >> eric: we heard the secretary of state say the window is closing and president obama used the same words, last week. at what point, will tehran -- could tehran get the message, before something happens? >> what the administration is doing here, is putting everything on the line for three years of its policy with respect to iran, three years of policies

that have failed up until now. and, that is the notion that iran could be negotiated out of the nuclear weapons program. what secretary clinton is referring to, is a resumption of talks in turkey, in two weeks between iran and the five permanent members of the security council. and germany. that the administration, i think, understands basically, is the last time that iran has to make some concessions, diplomatical diplomatically, not because the obama administration is going to do anything but, as you, almost certainly, it will help precipitate an israeli decision whether to use military force against iran's program and that is the door that is closing from secretary clinton's point of view. >> eric: what do you think will happen in these talks that are supposed to start april 13? >> well, if iran is back up to par with its old diplomatic game it will make some minimal

concessions, it will talk a good game about wanting to find a peaceful solution, it sill certainly play on what the russian foreign ministry said, namely, there shouldn't be any time limits for these negotiation and will try and drag things out. why will it do that? because, iran is very close to achieving that long-sought objective of getting nuclear weapons. so, if iran can keep these negotiations going 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, it will succeed and that is what its objective is and if it plays it wrong and comes in and basically says, forget it, we are not making concessions it can precipitate the kind of crisis, that will require iran to make the decision whether to use force. >> eric: here's what hillary clinton said yesterday, about the talks. she said our policy is one of prevention, not containment. we are determined to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. we enter into these talks with a

sober perspective about iran's intentions and it is incumbent upon iran to demonstrate it is a willing partner and participate in these negotiation with an effort to obtain concrete results. ambassador, do you think iran will ever show that it is a, quote, willing partner, that will have concrete results? >> absolutely not. because the concrete result they want is to get nuclear weapons. the question is whether, by half measures and winks and nods and talk about keeping the process going, and progress here and progress there, the iranians can buy time, as they've repeatedly done over the past ten years, in negotiations with europe, the united states and others, during which time they overcame many of the scientific and technological obstacles that stand in the way of a nuclear weapons program. the iranians know how to use diplomacy to get time, to get political cover and they've done it before, this is not hypothetical to them, and now we'll see if they do it again.

>> eric: while the talks are starting, by the way, iran had not officially, apparently committed to them and while that is going on you have the cut in oil production and the use of iranian oil, the eu sanctions start july 1st and pat obama has new, tougher sanctions on easteiran, cutting off iranian oil and do you think that will be a -- have a result of potential concrete results at the talks. >> the sanctions can impose economic costs on iran to be sure and that is certainly a good thing, anything that destabilizing the regime is a good thing but the amounts that people calculate now will actually set iran back are fairly minimal, in the range of 1.5 to 4% according to some recent estimates. that is insignificant in terms of revenue loss when you look at the nuclear program and let's be clear, iran is going to smuggle oil out of its country. it will lie about its statistics, it will find work-around, this is a very

creative country with a lot offel educated people, who are just as smart as the people imposing sanctions. so, the real question here is, how close is iran to getting nuclear weapons compared to how much damage will be done by the sanctions and the answer, unfortunately, is iran is very close indeed to weaponization. >> eric: and finally you say iran is close, how close do you think they are and if these tax fail, what do you predict? >> well, you know, outside independent experts looking at iran's enrichment capabilities think they could enrich to weapons-grade uranium for one nuclear weapon in two months or possibly less, so, to get however many you want, just add that together, the weaponization process, itself, is not that stift, the lo difficult, the long pole in the tent has always been enrichment and, i think it is sooner rather than later and i don't know when the red line is, and i wouldn't look for red lines, i've looked at what they've done for 20 years and make a decision based

on that. >> eric: ambassador, we always appreciate it, thank you for your in sight, every sunday morning, fascinating. thank you as always. >> thank you serving and of course israel is watching the threat from a possibly nuclear armed iran, waiting for these talks april 13th and coming up, we'll get israel's perspective on the developments, the possibility the talks could achieve anything, former israeli ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor dan gillerman will join us live with a view from israel, in the next hour. jamie? >> jamie: also, secretary of state hillary clinton is speaking out against syria, slamming president assad for the bloody crack down that has been going on, against the uprising. and, at the same time is pledging new nonmilitary assistance to the opposition. >> there will be greater pressure on the regime and more assistance of all kinds, for the syrian national council, there will be more humanitarian

assistance. that the people inside syria should know they are not alone. >> jamie: secretary clinton also saying that she doubts whether assad's regime will stick to a u.n. peace plan to end the bloodshed. and, on the ground, syrian forces are intensifying their attacks. take a listen, take like: the uprising in syria began over a year ago. riots triggered by reports that schoolchildren were being tortured for writing anti-government graffiti. and, since then, the u.n. estimates 9,000 citizens have been killed, 30,000 refugees escaped to seek protection in other countries and there are 200,000 people there who were displaced from their homes. we should point out the rebellion lasted longer than any other up rising during the so-called arab spring we are witnessing serving and we're getting a first look at another one of usama bin laden's alleged hideouts, while he was on the run for so many years. pakistani intelligence believes the al qaeda leader lived here

in this two story house, and they say in -- northern pakistan, he resided in them to for about a year, and then, he moved into the compound in abbotobad, where he was killed and the rents, $150 a month and he stayed in a total of five safe houses while on the run in pakistan. get that. five houses, in pakistan, several years and pakistani officials, still say they had no idea he was living in their country during all of that time. >> jamie: amazing, we're learning all of that information about usama bin laden, now. and we're also learning a lot from the campaign trail, because, fox is out and about and there are three big g.o.p. presidential primaries on tap, just this week. the candidates vying for

delegates in wisconsin, maryland, and washington, d.c., a sweep by mitt romney would boost his lead over the rivals and may be one of rick santorum's last big chances to change the conversation. let's have one with bob cusack, managing editor of the hill. great to see you, this sunday morning. >> good morning, jamie. >> jamie: good morning to you. how do you close the gap if you are mitt romney, rick santorum and newt gingrich, how do you get the statement out, that you are potentially the winner as a presumptive nominee or maybe a game-changer. >> romney has to close it out and he wasn't able to do that in alabama and mississippi and santorum, newt gingrich, one needs to have a surprise and i think santorum has to -- and he has to win wisconsin. the math does not look good for him because it does not swing back to the south where he has done well until may 22nd. upcoming contests to watch, wisconsin on tuesday and also, april 24th, that is santorum's home state of pennsylvania, i

think that santorum has to be thinking, if he doesn't win one of these states on tuesday, that he may have to think about bowing out. >> jamie: he has not spent that much time on pennsylvania and let's face it, it is three weeks after these three races. >> right. >> jamie: what happens if he doesn't at least secure the position as you are discussing in these three, can he make up for time? >> i don't think so. i mean, you see the establishment which is always -- has always liked mitt romney and you see marco rubio, paul ryan endorsing mitt romney. they want this to be romney versus obama and want to turn the page and rick santorum has had a great run, his reputation has been enhanced and he could run down the road and serve, possibly in a romney administration but this is all but over unless he can suddenly go on a big winning streak. >> jamie: let's talk about fund-raising. president obama already campaigning strong and expected to raise a billion dollars in

campaign funds. can the super pacs come through for the g.o.p. to compete, at least financially, to have what we have learned through these races, is already important, ground game? >> well, republicans are counting on them, because they know they can't go toe-to-toe with obama, mitt romney, who is obviously wealthy, has been asking the public to donate, and you really haven't seen that -- at least months ago and the super pacs have to come up big for the republicans and that is what the democrats are nervous about and you have to watch the big republican donors who backed other candidates, like sheldon adelson who newt gingrich's bank roll, the gingrich campaign, through the super-pac, will he support mitt romney and otherwise, democrats will have a huge fund-raising advantage. >> jamie: that will be interesting, you come out that much financially for one candidate and then switch. but, the candidates have pretty much all said they'll support whoever the nominee is. my question for you, is, at this

point, how much leverage, if mitt romney pulls it off, these three races and moves forward now and, we're already seeing he's going after president obama, more, the other candidates less, how much leverage do newt gingrich and rick santorum have and, even ron paul in terms of the delegates they can send, mitt romney's way? >> not that much. i mean, i think they've lost some leverage, and i think they will probably lose leverage this week, i think tuesday night will be a big night for mitt romney. ron paul, newt gingrich, can be in it for a while and have indicated as much and not to say rick and storm said he'll bow out, but because he has a bright future, i think if he doesn't do well on wednesday -- tuesday, and he has pennsylvania, he doesn't want to lose his home state, maybe, he bows out and i think republicans would praise santorum and, basically, the race would be over, but, i don't think ron paul will be getting out and doesn't look like newt gingrich will get out and the one to watch is rick santorum, because he has a very bright future. >> jamie: actually, you are

right, a lot riding on pennsylvania and the image for any future government runs or whatever he decides to do, maybe, in an administration. thanks, so much. great to see you, bob, always, come back soon. >> thanks, jamie. >> jamie: for much more coverage of the battle for the republican presidential nomination, i know where you will go, come to fox news and fox news.com, the latest updates are on-line from the pain trail, information on where each candidate stands on the issues important to you. >> eric: millions of christians around the world marking the start of holy week with palm sunday today. in jerusalem, hundreds of christian pilgrims retrace what is believed to be jesus's steps, marking his return to the holy city, thousands of years ago and in rome, pope benedict xvi celebrating mass at the vat can be in st. peter's square. ♪

>> eric: the pontiff looking rested despite having returned from his historic tour through mexico and cuba, greg burke is streaming live from rome. a special sunday morning. >> reporter: eric, that's right, you know, it is all leading up to next sunday, today is the big day, the official start of the holest week on the christian calendar, in fact called holy week for that reason. now, pope benedict xvi celebrating mass in st. peter's square for the occasion, an st. peter's square, decked out to commemorate christ's triumphal entry into jerusalem and the pope telling pilgrims they have a crucial question to ask themselves, who is jesus of nazareth for me and laying out a challenge to put christ at the center of their lives, saying this is the way to true joy. now, there was a huge crowd here, this morning, while massive numbers of people come to rome, all year, those who are here, this week are really here

mostly for religious reasons. and, st. peters basilica will be the center of their attention, certainly, as we get closer to the final four days. of course, thursday, marking the commemoration of the last supper and good friday, the easter vigil on saturday and, easter itself, the joy of the resurrection on sunday. finally, eric, it is interesting, you mentioned the pope's trip. he does seem to have recovered. it was not such a long trip but a long flight, first to mexico on the way there, 1 hours fr3 h cuba, and he looks like he has gotten over jet lag a little better than i have. >> eric: home you do, get sim sleep! thanks, greg. >> jamie: major medical developments, and we have 'em every sunday, a possible break through on treating diabetes and we have a brand new study on autism, our doctors will fill you in on "sunday house call." >> eric: and rick santorum speaking exclusively on fox news sunday, this morning. saying, no, wait. not so fast, he says the

republican presidential nomination is not yet over, we'll have a preview of what he told chris wallace, coming up. year. what are we going to do about it? here's to more saturdays in the sun, and budgets better spent. here's to black friday prices that turn more shoppers into savers. to picking up. trading up. mixing it up. to well-earned muddy boots. and a lot more-spring per dollar. more saving. more doing.

>> eric: mitt romney taking up

two big endorsements, paul ryan and ma and marco rubio. rick santorum has none of that. though, and says, the race is far from over. >> the whole narrative has been in romney's favor from the beginning of this race, and, he still isn't close to closing the deal. that should send a signal to these people inside the bubble, these senators and congressmen, and party leaders, inside the washington bubble, that maybe something is going on across this country, when over 60% of the people even hearing all of this still think, rick santorum should stay in the race and we need a conservative, someone who can be a contrast with barack obama and not the same old tired establishment, you know, person that is going to be shoved down our throats. >> eric: and we're joined by a venerable observer of the bubble, chris wallace, anchor of fox news sunday. good morning. >> good morning. >> eric: talk about the washington bubble. 48 hours, wisconsin, mitt romney expected to win.

but, santorum says he is pressing on? >> i have to say if santorum's effort this morning by appearing on fox news sunday was to deliver the message he's not getting out of this race, not listening to george h. w. bush or marco rubio or paul ryan it was message delivered and message received. he made it clear he plans to stay in the race, certainly through pennsylvania and that is, what, three weeks from tuesday, and he's confident he'll win there. and, he's talking about the may schedule and how it turns more favorable, states like texas and north carolina. he's in it for a while, he says until and unless romney gets to 1144, the magic number of delegates, needed to clinch the nomination. >> eric: a few moments ago, bob cusack of the hill suggested maybe he'll drop out, cut bait and save himself for a bright future. does he have a bright future if

he continues in the race and racks up delegates. >> we talked about ronald reagan who of course ran all the way to the convention against jerry ford and lost and it didn't seem to hurt him four years later. first of all, he says he is not thinking about 2016, he's thinking of 2012 but, secondly, i don't think he feels, pursuing this a good deal further, maybe not all the way to the convention, a good deal further would hurt his chances four years from now serving and, finally, how do you think it continues to play out with newt gingrich, not going, leaving the race, as it continues? >> well, you do the math and in the end, when you talk about delegates, it is all about math. mitt romney needs about 45, 46% of the remaining delegates, to clinch the nomination. he seems likely to get that. unless something happens that we don't anticipate at this point.

but, having said that, if he -- this is fascinating, if he got every delegate out there he still couldn't clinch the nomination, mitt romney couldn't, until the end of may. and, it is more likely it will be in june and so it will go on for at least another two months. >> eric: fascinating. if you want to deliver a message, pick up the phone and call chris. thank you. enjoy. the interview with rick santorum is on fox news sunday, you can tune into the program here on the fox news channel, at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern time and chris, has haley barbour and howard dean, always fair and balanced, fox news sunday, a few hours from now, check your local listings for your local fox station where you live. >> jamie: all the lights on chris's phone light up! you will want to stay here for "sunday house call," there is an alarming new report about children with autism. new numbers that indicate more children are being diagnosed. why? dr. siegel weighs in on the autism rate in the u.s. and what

♪ >> jamie: you waded through the commercial message and it will be worth it. trust me, "sunday house call," right now, joining us, dr. david samadi, the vice chairman of the department of urology, chief of robotics at the mt. sinai medical center. >> eric: and dr. marc siegel of langone medical center and the author of "the inner pulse" unlocking the secret code of sickness and health." good morning. >> jamie: good morning to you, great to see you. >> nice to see you. >> jamie: great topics. we'll begin with a potential medical break through, an experimental surgery for type two diabetes and it is making

its way to the u.s., this is great news, some doctors overseas saying it offers a 50% chance of a cure. dr. samadi, that is beyond statistically significant. you never hear 50%. >> well, i'm glad actually, surgery gets one good score today. good for the surgeons out there. but, look, it got a lot of publicity and is a study from cleveland clinic, published in "new england journal of medicine" and one of the first studies that talks about surgery, as a cure for diabetes and we hear about surgery and, weight loss but not directly, all the way to diabetes and we'll try to figure it out. they look at 150 patients, participants, and, they looked at surgeries, arthro scopic bypass... >> jamie: gastric bypass. >> versus a sleeve and medical treatment for diabetes and they found the surgery in gastric bypass, 47% of them actually did well and, brought the hemoglobin

or the sugar level to almost 6%, which is great. with the sleeve, it was 37% and, medical treatment, surprisingly, was only 12%, so how does that happen? and you see a lot of people go in and lose their weight and now, we are connecting diabetes and obesity that goes hand in hand and in 23 million diabetic, 80% are obese and how does that work? fat. the fat around the gut actually makes the insulin resistant. makes insulin useless and by taking the fat down, now your insulin actually becomes more effective and your diabetes can go away. the critics of the study, basically talk about, okay. we are taking care of the chemistry. are we really changing the biology? and really making a difference with stroke and heart disease, long term? small study, short follow-up, one year, i think it is really great for people that are morbidly obese over 400 pounds, 350 pounds, to bring them to their normal level, where my good doctor can actually help them with medical treatment.

>> jamie: but, you are a surgeon... it is still surgery. dr. siegel, can you not duplicate the results through diligent and doctor-supervised, like an internist, with diet and exercise? surgery is surgery for a lot of people. >> i have to tell you, i was impressed with the studies and i think for people who don't respond to medication or life stale all t style alteration, this is remarkable. there is a hormone you make in the intestine, gluco-tide peptide and it tells your body to make more insulin and less sugar and it actually tells your stomach to expand and so you feel full. so, people lose weight on it and we have a couple of drugs out there, only out a couple of years, and these drugs are now added to our arsenal and, if they help people to lose weight, at the same time they control sugar, they may be an option.

they are an option, we are using them all the time. i don't thinky they are in place of is your opinion at all and i think these studies are impressive but i'm using those drugs more and i'm excited about them. >> but your point is well taken and it is important for people to think there is no quick fix. if you get the surgery and go back to the same portions, it will not work. so, diet and exercise, it is part of this and, that is why the endocrinologist and the medical doctor and the surgeons come together to make sure you have a good transition. >> jamie: a good gastric surgeon will tell you you have to do all of the above or they won't operate on you. >> eric: did you hear about autism? troubling numbers, the number of cases in the u.s., at the highest rate ever recorded. according to the report, 1 in every 88 children, has autism, or some type of related autistic disorder. dr. siegel, what is the cause of this and how alarmed should we be? >> there is a huge controversy at the center of this. let me explain it to you, the

centers for disease control say we doubled our incidence of autism in the last five years, one out of 88 kids, over a million kids and everyone would agree and the american academy of pediatric, says get every kid screened before two, because we are not diagnosing them until four and there's a lot of interventions you could do that would be helpful but i want to tell you about the other side of this. there is also recent studies that look like we're overdiagnosing autism. it looks like about 50% of cases might not really have it. we have a huge criteria for it. you know, and we need to tighten that up and focus on things like language, social interaction, eye contact is one thing and your kid could have eye contact problems for something like being shy and it may not be autism and they may grow out of the problem, so, i'm of two minds, i want there to be a lot of attention to it and want kids to get intervention and services but i don't want to see it overdiagnosed. once you have it, it could be a stigma. >> eric: what about the n. l. r.

debate. >> there may be something women are exposed to during pregnancy, something in the environment, something genetic, maybe medications and new studies are coming out of this and the vaccine issue is debunked and has been studied and studied and is not an issue. >> i think this is a good thing. i'll taking a different angle from marc, which he explained eloquently but i think it deserves to get more attention, we see aids and cancer and other things and now this is bringing it to the forefront and is a good thing, the cdc is paying attention to this. the numbers, i wouldn't pay too much attention to it. they are looking at only 14 states, that is not america and it is a survey and they are broadening the definition of autism, so a lot of these mild behavioral patterns are included and i would not really make a big deal out of this but the actual definition of autism, the neural development which results in the language and behavior and social skills, you want to catch

the kids early on before the age of one or two, early screening and early interruption, and, helping them, is extremely important in their cure. >> i want to emphasize the american psychiatric association may very well be tightening their definition, going forward which will help us all to figure out who actually has this. >> more money needs to be invested. >> jamie: how about the funding? it seems to be going down, not up. >> you need qualified teachers, families to be involved and, jamie, you are 100% right, more money needs to go into this and when you catch them early as i said the result is excellent. >> eric: check with your pediatrician. >> jamie: for people who work with autistic kids, hats go off to them for sure. when you don't feel hot, do you go straight to the doctor? i know you admit you go to your computer, right, look on google and check your symptoms and try and diagnose yourself on-line? how much of what you read on-line about what you are feeling should you believe? when should you go to the

doctor? and, is the late afternoon snack hijacking your diet? this is so important, you know those snacks can pack on the pounds. we have got tips to help you keep track of those extra calories you might not need. go ahead and take a sip, and then let me know what the baby thinks of it. four million drivers switched to this car insurance last year. oh, she likes it babies' palates are very sensitive so she's probably tasting the low rates. this is car insurance y, they've been losing customers pretty quickly. oh my gosh, that's horrible!, which would you choose? geico. over their competitor. do you want to finish it? no. does the baby want to finish it? no.

[ male announcer ] for fast powerful pain relief, use bayer advanced aspirin. >> jamie: i found the number hard to believe but an estimated 2/3 of the whole population of the world is infected with hela-hela -- it is h-pyloria and, i have a viewer who said i have been diagnosed it and i'm under a doctor's care with three medicines, what food should i eat and should the 14 day

treatment get rid of the bacteria? i know you can find it on an endoscopy and a lot of people have bacterial infections and they say once a year you should go on antibiotics for the heck of it, is that true. >> yes. but there are easy ways to detect it. let me tell you about h-pylori. >> you pronounced it the full way. >> you sound like dr. kobe, that is a good thing and you may have it in your stomach and it may or may not cause problems and it could be asymptomatic and it actually erodes the lining of the stomach and the acid can attack and cause acid reflux or gas treat gastritis, what doctors did to prove it caused -- nobody believed them, they said it was a stressful job or a spicy food and the scientist took the

petrie dish and took it himself and two weeks later -- takes the bacteria and gets really sick and on endoscopy, finds out that h-pylori damaged the stomach and he was treated and did well and that was the proof behind it. and of course for that, he got the nobel prize in physiology and medicine and that is how we know about it. that is the story. the truth is, with a simple breath test, blood test, endoscopy and stool test you can diagnose it and treat it really well. so, if you feel like you are bloated and have pain around the chest area, feel nausea, fatigue, really lose your appetite, those are vague symptoms but it could be had a pylori and you should get tested and i'll leave the treatment for my good -- >> jamie: as easy as bad breath could be a detection of it. >> if you have reflux, or h-pylori and the best test is endoscopy because it tells you

what is going on in the stomach, full disclosure, my chairman of medicine, marty blazer is a huge researcher on this for the nih and has a great point to make. he thinks before overtreating it and overusing antibiotics in general by the hygiene hypothesis and wipe out the good bacteria while going after the bad and h-pylori is associated with peptic ulcer disease and stomach cancer and you can imagine why people want to treat it and you do the endoscopy and show irritation to the lining or ulcer symptoms you want to treat it. hopefully the viewer actually has something like that. but, to just treat it because it is there, may have a downside, and every time -- >> jamie: how, how do you treat it. >> like he said, with two weeks, with at least two antibiotics. usually amo usually... >> eric: i have to ask the question, what should you be

eating. >> a study shows pro biotics work and flavinoids and apples, and foods that suck up the acid. including fiber works. >> and probiotic and the triple medication is the best way. >> jamie: we look for these e-mails and ask a question that affects so many people and h-pylori does and now you know more and if you want to send your e-mail to the doctors, soesoeit is easy, housecall@foxnews.com. >> eric: did you get sick and google your symptoms? when you feel sick? a study shows we are more likely to think we are sick or have a disease if your symptoms match what is on the web site. dr. siegel, everyone does this. before you call the doctor you want to google and see, you know, what you have. and, man it can be scary. >> i learned something when i was researching this, first of all, there's a study out of yale that says if you see your symptoms in sequence, like three in a row, four in a row you will think it is you.

that is the first thing i learned and the other thing is, i found out doctors are doing it, too. i tell you one thing, dr. samadi and i aren't doing it. we do it based on clinical experience and reading the journals and getting in to the issue but the idea 50% of physicians out there, are googling symptoms and googling diseases and telling their patients what to do as a result bothers me. i don't have a problem with people out there, finding symptoms on-line and coming to me or coming to dr. samadi and saying, what about this? this? i don't have a problem with sorting through what people find on-line and helping them navigate it. i don't think that is where my source of information... >> eric: your advice is don't self-diagnose, get information but then... >> bring it to your doctor. i will not stop people from doing that. >> dr. google. has revolutionized the way we practice medicine, now the patients come to the office and first 20 minutes of the consultation, i have to erase all of the misinformation they have read on-line. so, the way -- the algorithm of

google is set up, if you put a vague symptom, abdominal pain, or headache, it will give you tremendous amounts of information that is going to drive you nuts, almost like when we were in medical school and you read the symptoms and you are like, i have that, i have that and you go crazy but it's not true and if you use google the right way and give a real diagnosis, prostate cancer or robotic surgery it would bring you and zone into what you do and then you have to see, which web site is legitimate, who is really the honest guy and what information is researched well and in that sense i think google is extremely helpful. and you should use it to your advantage. >> that is a great point, mayo clinic, go to the main medical center web sites they give you good advice. >> jamie: and i was going to say you doctors are on it and i'm surprised you are not promoting it. it is worthwhile, foxnews.com has its own help page, why are we doing a commercial for google.

i'm just saying. >> good medical information and i've had my own web site for the last ten years and we constantly go in, fox news health, tremendous. i lot of information there, and, you know, good information is great for the patient. >> jamie: gotta go, we've heard the warnings about soda. if you are drinking it you want to know high sugar content and added coloring, studies detail what can happen if you have too much. but it down, stay where you are, we'll be back in three minutes. if you have copd like i do, you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd iludes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiva helps corol my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers

for sudden symptoms. tell yr doctor if you have kidy problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you ta, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if yr breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing ure. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help. for the spender who needs a little help saving. for adding "& sons." for the dreamer, planning an early escape. for the mother of the bride. for whoever you are, for whatever you're trying to achieve, pnc has technology, guidae, and over 150 years of experience to help you get there. ♪

we talk about dental cavities, is a perfect place for bacteria to cause plaque and come down and the sugar itself boosts the insulin and causes a fatty liver and metabolic and osteoporosis and we don't have enough time to get into it. but, look, replace it with water them. best thing that can happen to you, water bottles, are a foot away, grab a few inches and take the bottle of water. >> jamie: we don't need more time on it. we don't drink it. >> a quick point, to augment this. there is a study out of harvard, a 20% increase of heart attack and stroke over 20 years if you drink soda every day and replace with diet sewed dark without the sugar, there is still a study that shows an increase and it is probably because of the lifestyle associated with it. not only is this sugar causing you to be obese which increases your risks directly but diet soda, the question is, what else are you doing? so, i agrees with david, one a day, you know, it is too much, if you have one or two a week, it is probably okay. but the real issue is, overall

change your diet and increase the amount you exercise and lose weight, and, stop drinking the sugary drinks, period. >> jamie: even the diets, i'm cured of that but the next one, eric, not so much. >> eric: drink water, instead of soda. you snack, as well as having sodas an snacking helps you gain weight and sometimes you eat on the go, sneaking calories, how can they add up, we'll have tips about your snacking, straight ahead. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy.

then you want something salty. >> i don't want to get into the details of what we should be eating. but i think it goes beyond this. i think this is a cultural problem. i think we have become a super-sized society and mindless eaters, that we are reacting. you think you are hungry and it's right there, so you take t. we need to crack that culture down and change t. we are dog it, by the way, great job by passing this to our children, so they are snacking all the time and chile obesity is on the rise. so what i would say is, you don't have to finish everything. cut down on the size and eat the healthy diet and you will be fine. >> doctors, thank you. >> grab a banana or apple. >> jamie: you have yogurt. easier said than done. >> eric: see you next sunday. >> jamie: it is our top story and a fox news alert. good morning. from the campaign trail. just 48 hours from three key

republican contests and mitt romney scoring a number of critical endorsems. he's statistical telling supporters he's well on his way to clinching the nomination. good morning, everyone. brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. eric, good morning. >> eric: good morning, everybody. mr. romney, leading the delegate race so far, heading into a critical week of primaries on tuesday. but some party insiders this weekend continue to warn of a possible brokered convention, if they claim rivals rick santorum and newt gingrich continue to stay in the race. but both vowing they are not getting out, saying in effect, why should they? peter doocy live in washington with the latest. hi, peter. >> reporter: hi, eric. governor romney racked up a string of important endorsements. wednesday, senator marco rubio, thursday, former president george h.w. bush and then friday, paul ryan and today, one of the senator, ron johnson, gave his blessing.

>> i never did intend to endorse anybody, but i have had the opportunity to meet with governor romney over the past couple of weeks and have long phone conversations. viequal away from those phone conversations, fully convinced that mitt romney is the person to lead our party, to lead our nation. >> reporter: nationally, the real clear politics average of polls shows romney with almost a double-digit lead over senator santorum, and spoker gingrich trails with 14% and paul has 12%. romney is up a clear 7 1/2 in wisconsin, where there is a primary on wednesday. but rick santorum is letting the people know that he supports the governor, who is up for a recall and that he is no friend of the union. >> the head of the afl-cio in pennsylvania said that calling rick santorum a friend of big labor is like calling rom recommend a conservative --

neither are true. they spent millions of dollars to beat me in 2000 and 2006 and before that. i assure you, you have someone who supports governor walker, supported from the beginning what he was doing with the unions. >> reporter: mr. rubio and ryan endorsement, saying everyone is entitled to make a mistake and they will recover from it. elsewhere, speaker gingrich has been trying to play up his connection to wisconsin because his wife is from there. congressman paul is quiet and doesn't have any events planned. >> eric: santorum says he's sticking with it. >> reporter: he d. but he also said, eric, if romney gets to 1144, he will step aside, but romney is nowhere close. >> eric: time to go. always good to see you, thank you. in 20 minutes here, we will beuc talking about a major issue in the race -- rising gas prices and how the price at the pump

could impact the race for the white house. for the latest coverage of tuesday's contest and your election news, go to foxnews.com pirks he did t. president obama, on friday, tightening the economic vice on iran, by applying brand-new and tough sanctions. the goal is to cut iran's oil exports to the world, pressure the tehran should be more open about its atomic ambitions. is it enough? will diplomacy work? what does israel have in ?iend we have the former israeli ambassador to the united nations, a fox news contributor. i will say good morning and tell our viewers, very small delay. good to see you, sir. >> good to see you, jamie. good morning. >> jamie: great to have you here. are you still of the view as secretary of state hillary clinton has said the time for

diplomacy is running out? are the sanctions too little too late? >> they definitely are, jamie. they are too little and too late. these sanctions are important, if they were imposed a few months ago, maybe they would have worked. but today is april 1 and the president announcing on march 30 that sanctions that are going to start taking place and, you know, being effective, as of june 28, i hope this is not an april fools prank because all we are doing is allowing the extreme fundamentalist regime in iran to continue to develop a nuclear weapon and threaten the rest of the world -- >> jamie: what i am hearing you say then -- what i am hearing you say is that we need these sanctions because without them, they may escalate their ambitions, although they're

still in play. if you make that equation and say that the sanctions are good but not enough, and that a couple of months makes a difference, when will israel take potentially unilateral action? how close is israel to doing that? >> israel is very close to doing that because i think the frustration at the rest of the world, including the united states and the international community doing nothing to convince iran that it means business is very, very, very worrying. what we have is an iran which is intent on developing nuclear weapons. this is a concert, which is spreading throughout the world and threatening to kill humanity. when you have the threat of imminent death by that cancer, you don't say that you are going to administer a drug in three months' time and see whether it works, you are going to go in and do something about it.

we cannot wait for a smoking gun because by the time there is a smoking gun, the smoke will take the rest of the world with it. and therefore, the minute -- the moment of no return, which is not when you have the bomb, but when they have the capacity and the know-how to produce it, is very, very near. we don't have time to wait. time is of the essence, and time is running out -- >> jamie: ambassador i. what the rest of the world, including the united states, must do, is make iran sure and believe that they mean business. >> jamie: in terms of meaning business, you believe that they are definitely working on a bomb. we know that israel is in -- in their sights. many of us here in the united states fear what iran's ambitions are as l. but i have to ask you this question: when you watch the president meet with medvedev and talk about missile defense and the fact that a re-election campaign is going on and this is something he wants flexibility because he

may have to deal with that at some later point. you say there is no time to waste, do you think this is an issue that has taken the back burner by this white house? >> i hope very much want. i hope that this white house and this very intelligent president know how serious this has. but at the mome, i don't see the ferocity, i don't see the result and i don't see the iranians really worried about the rest of the world meaning business. that is why i believe that the rest of the world must step up. it must, as the president said, maybe walk softly and carry a heavy stick, but that heavy stick must be very apparent and very, very real. if it's not, then i assure you, israel will act because israel cannot afford to live with a nuclear iran, as the rest of the world cannot. but we will make sure that iran

does not acquire a nuclear weapon. as i have said before, if it means being criticized by the rest of the world, we would rather be criticized than mourned. when anybody criticizes israel, let me remind them one thing, before you criticize an israeli, you first better walk a mile in their shoes. then you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes. >> jamie: that's a very strong statement. i appreciate your insight today. i know there is a grave concern for you. thanks for joining us. >> thank you very much, jamie. >> jamie: eric. >> eric: jamie, a heart-breaking unrest in syria. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton says that president assad has no signs of keeping his word in the u.n. peace deal to end the violence. but it's been nearly a week since that agreement was reached by kofi annan. at least 20 more killings in several city, adding to the

estimated 9,000 that syrian civilians at the hand of the government thalt u.n. estimates and syrian's president insists that terrorists and not protesters are behind the unrest in the country. but secretary clinton warns that, quote, serious consequences if the killings don't end. >> there is a lot of progress being made in bringing the international community together. i think you will see in the communique today that there are constant steps being taken. and really honoring the memory and the sacrifices of those who have been fighting and dying for their freedom. >> eric: mrs. clinton was speaking at the international gathering in turkey. 83 nations, called the friends of syria, recognize the assad opposition is a legitimate representative of the people and they're creating a multi-million-dollar fund to help the syrian people.

>> jamie: today marks one of the holiest dma's christianity. millions around the world are celebrating palm sunday. it's the start of the holy week, ending, of course, with easter sunday. here's a look at the celebrations in jerusalem. christian pilgrims retracing the steps of jesus. this is the scene in rome this morning. at the vatican, pope benedict xvi holding the mass. and streaming live from rome, gregg, it's a beautiful, beautiful ceremony. isn't it? >> reporter: that's right. beautiful ceremony, big day. as you mentioned, the start of holy week, the official start of holy week, leading up to sunday, the joy of easter sunday. there was a massive crowd here this morning. if you don't like crowds, st. peter's square in holy week

is probably not the place to be and rome is probably not the place to be. so many pilgrims from around the world, coming here. of course, people come to rome throughout the year, loads of people, they live off tourism here. but the fact is that those who come this week, come primarily for religious reasons in his homily, pope benedict laying out for the christians, asking who, is jesus to me? they should not avoid it, certainly not this week. makinglying a plea to the young people, challenging them to make christ the center of their lives, saying this will bring them real joy. it is not the final four, but there are four important day this is week, starting on holy thursday, the commemoration of the last syrup and good friday and the easter vigil on saturday and easter sunday, easter vigil is inside the basilica. you can't buy them.

have you to prepare early and it's better, of course, if you know somebody. >> jamie: thank you so much, greg burke, live in rome. >> eric: the u.s. has reached a global milestone. it is not likely to sit well with many americans. we reportedly have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. the lawmakers are split on had that means. >> the effective tax rate of the u.s. corporations is very low. compared to their competitors, which is why you have the situation where a company like g.e. is paying -- is paying no income tax. >> america is number 1 in a category where we don't want to be number 1, that's the highest corporate tax rate in the world. our competitors have all lowered their tax rates so they can be more competitive. >> eric: what does it really mean for the u.s. and for companies and american jobs? and all of us?

brenda buttner is here. we are getting into the recovery and this is the highest corporate tax rate in the world. >> we are number 1! you would like to think this is an april fools day joke, but it's not. the u.k. is actually lowering its corporate tax rate. we are the highest in the world. but you have to take this in context. because if you do look at loopholes that are out there, we are closer to the average reallies of the industrial nations in the cort tax rate. when you look at our income tax, which is lower than many nations, we are a lot lower. but still, just in terms of the corporate tax rate, which does have an influence on jobless rates. when you look at ireland in the 1980s, when it lowered its corporate tax rate, when it comecut it in half, its gdp

doubled. so this can have a profound impact on unemployment. >> eric: why wouldn't the politicianses want to try to cut it? 39.2%. republicans want a 25% rate. do you have the companies like g.e. that legally get away with t. why not cut the rate to help the economy? >> on both sides of the aisle, there are proposals to cut the corporate tax rate. it's a question of how. and everybody agrees that the tax code is just gigantic and too complicated. it's a question of getting there. you know, we all know that in an election year, it's hard to actually get anything done. so i'm not sure that we're going to see any actual change in that. you know, it does have an impact on -- on joblessness. when you talk about the bigger companies, they're the ones that can get those deductions.

smaller companies are the ones that cannot. they are the one who is end up bearing the brunt of this corporate tax rate much more. they don't get the deductions of the larger company who is have the huge tax lawyers, the legions of tax lawyer who is can help them find the deductions. and they are the one who is hire the people, the smaller companies. that's a problem. >> eric: we are doing our taxes right now. >> exactly. >> eric: good to see you. >> you too. >> eric: catch brenda on bulls & bears on saturday morning right here on the fox newschannel. >> jamie: gas prices are surging. you probably know. and the summer travel season is yet to come. what some republicans are calling on president obama to do to try to ease your pain at the pump. >> eric: you know, they say the 401(k) is a great investment. but what if you need the dough right now?

>> jamie: turning on each other. how sports fans from opposing teams got into it following a heated basketball match. we have the sound and video. ok, guys-- what's next ? chocolate lemonade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast spes. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner. we're definitely gonna need another one. small sinesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best tecology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006.

>> eric: you have seen it. college basketball celebrations, turning violent in kentucky last night. [cheering] >> eric: it was chaos. police and riot gear, trying to hold back thousands of fans after kentucky beat louisville. fans burned couches and flipped cars. police reportedly made 10 arrests, but thankfully, there were few injuries reported. >> jamie: well, every sunday, we try to help you out with your financial plan. how many of you have most of your savings wrapped up in a 401(k) or ira? it's supposed to be your financial security when you retire. but maybe you need it now, maybe you want to start a small business or pay off a couple of big bills. how easy is it to borrow from it is this and if you do, how can

you avoid the penalties? we will go to a former managing director of morgan stanley, and in fact, he ran the company's 401(k) doesn't. if anyone has answers, rich does. thank you for joining us. >> you are very welcome. >> jamie: they say it's a big mistake to tap into your retirement savings, but a lot of people have to t. what reasons are appropriate, and will the government cut you a break? >> you can almost take a loan out for any reason you want to. but i would suggest, is it a good reason? i would take a step back and catch your breath and say, if it's for emergencies, like a foreclosure or eviction our a funeral expenses, that's a great reason to do it. if you are looking for the weekend in vegas, i would catch your breath. >> jamie: or the lottery tickets everyone's holding from friday. let me ask you how it do it appropriately. >> okay. >> jamie: how do you rebuild it back up. you watch the lower number and you want to get it back in

there, eventually. >> that's right. first of all, alternates so easy to get the money out, it's almost like an a.t.m., you can look at the statement, look on the bottom and you you will see a site or a phone number, call them and go on the site, it will say, i want to take out a loan, if you go through the web site, it will allow you, most plans, to model the loan, see how much money you have, and a form is produced and don't ask/don't tell what you have you available and you can give that to your h.r. department and they will sign the form -- >> jamie: follow the instructions. i got that part. but how do you avoid the fees and the taxes? what do you have to pay? >> to borrow it, it's prime or prime plus one. through your employer, through the processing, it's taken out of a payroll deduction for you. so the loan is taken out for you, which is wonderful -- >> jamie: are you paying the interest to yourself?

>> yes. you are. understand, though, though it sounds great, understand that current new 401(k) contributions will be suspended and if the employer was doing a match, you won't be part of that match. >> jamie: that's an excellent point. a few companies still patch match. ours does. >> and another give-up, the dollars you had inside the 401(k) plan were not subject to creditors. now if you have to file for bankruptcy or anything of that nature, that money's available to the creditor. >> jamie: i am going to leave it there. that's enough information for folks to decide if it's the right decision for them and they can go to our web site for more information. >> you are welcome. my pleasure. >> jamie: that was really helpful. >> i'm glad,. >> jamie: if you want more information, go to foxnews.com and click on our show page and look for a link. there are many consumer

protection segms for you? >> great advice. >> jamie: thank you. >> eric: speaking of the price to repay, how about the gas prices? how will the gas prices going up, up, up affect the presidential race? we will have a fair and balanced debate, next. [ male announcer ] that. right there -- reminds you

why you fell in love with her in the first place. and why you still feel the same. but your erectile dysfunction -- that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like neing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis.

>> eric: gas prices, surging nearly 4 1/2% in the past few weeks. they keep going up. how will that affect the race for the white house? we have gretchen hammel, and the former president of the women's media center. welcome. gretchen, republicans are largely blaming the rising price on president obama's energy

policies. is that fair? >> well, if you ask the american people, the majority believe that obama is not to blaism but two out of three believe that he is isn't doing anything about it so therefore does receive blame for that. we need a vision for america with energy and we need action. and all-of-the-above strategy means nothing unless there is action. >> eric: what about what gretchen says, most people think the president's not doing enough? >> the first thing is that they understand that he doesn't have the power to control the gas price that they are seeing at the pump. most americans are frustrated with the fact that the oil companies are raking in record profits, you know, in 2011, $130 billion, 75% higher than in 2010, but just last week, 47 republican senators said we are going to continue to pay you to

drill for oil. we are going to continue to take taxpayer money, our dollars and pay these oil companies to droil drill for oil. let's like paying me to go on a date with keanu reeves. >> eric: but isn't it helping with the gas situation, giving us more resources? >> the tax subsidies are absolutely not helping to bring down gas prices. we are at a record high -- >> but they keep them lower. >> we are at a record high of domestic oil production. if anything, it's to stop the speculation that it's happening on wall street around theis prices? let gretchen answer. >> this is a very short-sighted policy problem we have here. we need long-term policies that have implications on our overall energy prizes. what she was talking about with the subsidies, everyone agrees that tax subsidies need to be

addressed. but do you address them when the gas prices are high in and economists say it could cause the gas prices to be higher. they need to be looked at and probably need to be done away with. but in nascar, erch was talk about this gas prices. have you to address the gas prices in order tow get the economy back on track and that requires a long-term vision, not just a tax subsidy. not blaming oil company, but policies, policies presented by our elected leaders and by the president and then act on it. >> eric: what would you specifically want to see? you have a big battle over keystone. >> yeah. have you regulations, things that are keeping this nation from exploring and doing other things when it comes to energy. we have done a lot on green energy. why leave it to green energy? why not do other things? we need to look at an

all-of-the-above option. >> eric: jehmu? >> let's talk about keystone. keystone is not a long-term solution that gretchen is talking about -- >> it is one of the long-term solutions. >> i let you finish. i agree with most of what you said. we do need an overall strategy to be more energy efficient. we are more energy efficient than we have ever been in the history of our country. but keystone pipeline takes our oil to foreign country, makes gas prices higher for those in the midwest and doesn't do anything to solve the long-term solution. so putting forward false solutions is not a part of the answer. >> eric: you know -- [overlapping dialogue] >> solar, wind, clean energy is our future. >> eric: we are hitting the cars and the roads for september. remember 2008 when the prices went up, up, up, who did they blame?

george bush. how come that isn't happening now? >> li think we need more honesty when it comes to our political debates. democrats shouldn't be blaming president bush whether it is not his fawls fault for raising gas prices and the republicans shouldn't be doing the same on the flip side. the american people want an honest conversation about why am i standing at the pump and it's costing me $50 to fill up the car? they want the truth and saying that president obama can sign a piece of paper special lower gas prices to $2.50 is ridiculous! >> eric: gretchen, last word? >> this is a problem -- this is a problem that the president does need to do something about. he needs to address. it he needs to have the leadership to address it. republicans -- >> he is addressing it -- >> for the longest time, have not put forth a policy that they have committed to, stood by and implemented. the president should lod this. at the end of the day, what happened with george h.w. bush, it came down to the economy.

he has great polling numbers, but the gas prices are part of the economy. and sometimes, you're subject to the environment you are dealt with. >> eric: that's it. thanks so much. i hope we can all keep filling up, thanks. >> thank you. >> jamie: let's talk about the battle over the president's health care overhaul. this was a huge week. the law in the hands of the supreme court. they had their arguments. now, we are awaiting the answer, but we want to look to see what it could mean if the health insurance mandate is upheld or struck down. joining me now, florida attorney general pam bondi, great to see you, good morning. >> good morning, huge week. but let me take it back. this is an issue you inherited as the state attorney general of the state of florida and you took it on. pretty much, you have been speaking out about it strongly, you feel the week went well. am i stating it correctly?

>> absolutely. we feel the week went great. before i was even elected, i went to the first round of arguments in the florida district, because i felt that was so important. we got a great decision from the 11g circuit counter of appeals when i was attorney general and we had 6 more states join our lawsuit. we have experienced a truly historic week in washington, d.c. >> jamie: stellar lawyers and stellar arguments. i was all ears -- on both sides, everybody really on their game. but how far will you go, if you don't get the resolution that you want, if the court says, it's fine? >> well, you know, jamie, we firmly believe that -- and you listen to the arguments, we firmily believe the mandate will be struck down. of course, if it isn't, we have to follow the law. we have a u.s. president in play

and a u.s. senate. we need to take back the presidency and the senate. that's going to be the other fix to this problem. but hopefully, the justices asked intelligent question, i think they will follow the law. there is no case in history eye challenge any lawyer in the country to tell me how the official government can take the commerce clause this far. this is one document, the united states constitution -- >> jamie: you keep bringing it back to that. that's the supreme court's job, to interpret the constitution, as it is, whether they agree or not. >> exactly. >> jamie: last question. does the court have jurisdiction to consider the impact if they dismantle the helt care system and what it would mean near our country? >> well, they addressed that in the severability clause -- does the entire mandate, if they find the mandate unconstitutional, does the entire document follow the law as a result of it?

our argument is, yes. you know, judge scalia put it very well. the mandate is the heart of the argument. the heart of the statute and if that's gone, the entire statute's gone. but in they leave it, it is not their job and the justice scalia pointed it out, to pick apart which parts are constitutional and which are not. but the federal government generally agreed that if the mandate false, the heart of the statute is gone. >> jamie: i was thinking, specifically of justice kennedy, some of the questions he asked could lead you to believe that he may be a swing voter, as he has been in many cases. florida attorney general pam bondi who hasn't had sleep probably in over a year. >> thank you. >> jamie: take care. >> eric: coming up, there is a huge rally planned for trayvon martin this afternoon in florida. civil rights activists activistd protesters, demanding the arrest of the alleged shooter. we will have a live report and the late nest 3 minutes.

>> eric: a huge turnout is expected at a protest rally for 17-year-old trayvon martin, planned for later this afternoon in miami. as you know, the teenager was shot and kill bide neighborhood watch volunteer, george zimmerman, who has claimed self-defense. an estimated 75,000 protesters will be joining civil rights activists and local leaders. they are refusing to stand down until, they say zimmerman is arrested in the controversial case. we go live outside the gated community in sanford, florida, where trayvon was killed. >> reporter: eric, protests and demonstrations continue to spring up across the state and across the country. last night in fort lauderdale, there was a candlelight vigil, attended by his parents and football coach. new developments on a contested point, who was it that was

calling out for help, on that 911 call? >> 911, do you need police, fire or medical? >> maybe both. i am not sure. there was someone screaming outside. >> you don't know why? >> i don't know why. i think they are yelling help, but i don't know. >> reporter: the latest development comes from the orlando sentinel, they say they provided that 911 call to two forensic voice analysts who both say it could not be the voice of the shooter. jimmerman claims he was shotting in self-defense. the experts say, no, that was the voice of a young boy. that's what trayvon martin's parents have said all along. >> we know our kid's voice. we knew that. >> reporter: besides the big rally in miami, rallies in

wisconsin and tennessee are planned. >> eric: steve you. that's chilling. jamie? >> jamie: well, it's the very first time since it disappeared, beneath the waves, artifacts from the titanic are being sold at auction. what did they find and how much will collectors pay? wait until you see what they found. and a kansas man surviving being struck bia belt of lightning. he tells us what it felt like in his own words. hoos next. >> in the distance, i would hear thunder and see lightning, i didn't think anything was quite that close. just came as quite a shock -- no pun intended. if something is simply the color of gold, is it really worth more? we don't think so.

>> eric: lightning can strike even when you ooping it's far away. one man learned that lesson in kansas, firsthand. bill was standing in his back yard when a storm that was far off -- suddenly, he got shocked and knocked to the ground. >> my whole body was twitching. my radio had flown farther ahead of me. i managed to grab it and call

out. i don't think it was a direct strike because i didn't get any burns. but it's not a feeling or something i would want to go through again. >> he was immediately treated at the hospital, says he's lucky to be alive. over the past 30 years, 55 americans have been killed by lightning, every year according to the national weather service. >> jamie: are you a "titanic" fan? you want to own a piece of history? for the first time, there are pieces being auctioned off. we have more on what they have and what you will have to pay. >> this month marks the 100-year anniversary of the titanic sinking and this is one of the most significant bodies of material to ever be put on the auction block, including every one of the 5500 artifacts recovered from the wreckage. the ship went down on april 15, 1912, 400 miles off the coast of nova skoshia with over 1500

passengers, clothing, jewelry, silverware, decorations and hundreds of hours of video footage are being auctioned off. the appraisal price is $189 million. which may sound like a lot. but the new york auction house offer this is perspective. >> not along ago, a few months ago, a painting, a single painting was sold for $250 million. and the argument could be made is that -- is there a painting anywhere on earth that is more valuable than all the entire titanic collection? >> jamie: a court ruling says the collection must be auctioned off as one lot, innocent pieces. maintained by the owner and at least part of it has to be on display. a few artifacts have been auctioned off in the past and passed down from families of survivors. a menu alone went for $100 grand upon but this is the first

auction from the wreckage. a portion of the proceeds generated by the sale will go to the titanic preservation trust to insure future conservation. and the 1997 blockbuster will be back in theaters in 3d, this month. so we will be seeing it. >> lots of fans for that one. thanks, anna. >> eric: pope benedict is returning from six days in mexico and cuba and is at palm sunday mass at the vatican. we are live in rome with a look. okay... is this where we're at now? we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal? bring on the pork chops and the hot fudge. fantastic. are you done sweetie? yea [ male announcer ] fiber one.

>> eric: taking on the media. newt gingrich did it with some success earlier in the campaign. and the latest candidate to bluntly push back has been rick santorum, so is this a trend? is it even appropriate? liz trotter, jones us -- as she does every sunday with her commentary. it's really heated, isn't it? >> last week in wisconsin, rick santorum said that mitt romney, the frontrunner in the race was the worst republican in the country to put up against obama. later, passed by a reporter from

the new york times, a testy santorum said what he meant to say is was that romney is the worst republican on health care. let's listen. >> quit distorting my words. if i see it, it's [bleep] come on, man! what are you doing?! you just did. my asking me that question. i'm upset when the media distort what is i say. yeah, i am. i do get upset. you know exactly what i was saying and you are misrepresenting. >> well, you know, this late in the campaign, which you hear eight-letter words, we haven't got to four-letter words yet. but it was a rather unfortunate loss of control for rick santorum. or was it? one reporter said that he thought it was an attempt to act

as a foil to the new york times reporter. there is nothing better than messing up a new york times reporter. later, cbs this morning said, what he had been seeking was a clarification. then, of course, he wrote a story saying that santorum ignores pressure to bough bow out to romney, not exactly a flattering story. so then "the wall street journal" said, well, that's revenge. well, there was near to come. after that, we have a piece in the times taking heat of criticism, santorum tones down attacks. then a long catalog of the boo-boos so far performed by mr. santorum, not least among which are the jfk on the separation of church and state, said had he heard that he wanted to throw up. he said at one point in illinois, he didn't care what the unemployment figures were in

texas. he said, we might as well stay with what we have, referring to the presidency. now this. i don't know, eric, do you think he did it deliberately? or is he losing it? >> eric: the other candidates have done that, bill clinton lashed out at town hall questioners. remember richard nixon, telling the media, you won't have richard nixon to kick around anymore. it becomes part and parse welcampaigns. but it does raise some flares. >> it's a test of a reporter's patience and sense of decorum to stand there and be laid out. it's happened to me, several times in my career. to be laid out by somebody, especially if you are on television, to be able to appear as though you can take it, you are objective and you won't be part of the story. unfortunately, now, we have so many cases, where the reporter is parliament of the story. if you are told off by a

candidate, it's a badge of honor. so if you look at it that way other both people win -- santorum is the hero of the little man, which is what we wanted to be, of. and you have jeff zelleny as the aggrieved reporter. >> eric: sometimes, since you have been at the brunt of that, does it show that you are doing your job? >> well, that's it. i think that you are doing your job. you mentioned the famous chris wallace thing. i marveled at how he was able to sit there so long and take all of this guff from clinton that. really took some patience and fortitude. >> eric: all right, liz. we are professionals. that's it for us. >> jamie: i'm going to go home and take a nap. you are going to get up at 5:00 a.m. i am co-hosting foxch amp friends first. >> eric: 5:00 in the morning to 6:00. >> jamie: that's right. >> eric: goat some sleep. >> jamie: shannon bream is next.
