>> eric: so, how much water do you think we really need to drink? you hear the studies about 8 to 108-ounce glasses of water every day. do we really will need that much? >> there are no rules. a lot has to do with if there is any disease, how active you are, whether you live in hot weather or cold or et cetera. but the body has a defense mechanism. if you are thirsty, that's a message that you should be drinking. the eight by eight rule -- eight glasses of 8 ounces a day is

good. but as a urologist, we pay attention to the color of your urine. if your urine is dark yellow, you are in trouble. if it's light yellow, you are okay, but if it's light, you are good. it's extremely important. you don't want to drink too much, too fast because you can drop your sodium. >> eric: does it have to be water? >> all of that counts. by the way, people need to know, you are losing water everywhere, you lose it when you breathe. you lose it in your urine, in your stool. you are losing water. everybody has a different need. you need to know from your physician if your kidneys are okay. a healthy kidney can get rid of up to a quart an hour of water. a healthy kidney. you can't overload if you are healthy, unless you are a marathon runner, like our senior producer. if you are a marathon runner,

you need less water, you can't replace it right away. >> eric: drink water. >> jamie: a marathon a week. congratulations, buddy. see you next weekend. great show. thank you. >> jamie: at this hour, there is growing anticipation in vatican city, with good reason because we are just 48 hours away from the start of the all-secret papal conclave. tell determine the next leader of the world's 1.2 billion catholics. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> eric: good morning. right now, more than 100 card mals are gathered in vatican city. they will spend the next two days, praying for spiritual guidance before entering the closed-door conclave at the sistine chapel, where they will

be completely cut off from the outside world until they have chosen a new pontiff. who could it be? when will we know? what can we expect? we have a father here, joining us from rome in the vatican city. good morning, father. always good to see you. >> great to be talking with you. >> eric: what are you hearing about the concerns of the cardinals and what their priorities are, as they start to get whittle down the final candidates and what they are considering? >> it's fascinating. the last two weeks i have been on the ground at rome, to see how the cardinals are meeting with each other. yes, in apartments and closed rooms and also in restaurants and in a more formal way in the general congregation, the meetings in which the cardinals are coming together. what are the priorities? each and every one of them might have a different priority. the number-1 priority is passing on the teachings of the bible and of the church. but secondly, they would be

asking themselves, who would be the best person for that job today? some of their concerns. number 1; who can give a happy, joyful, committed and convincing presentation of the gospel in these times, now with the challenges that we face? secondly, who is able to reform the curia, the central bureaucracy of the vatican because there have been serious and very public issues. the issue of the butler and all of those things, passing on information, recognizing that there are serious issues here. but there are lots of other issues as well. what we will find out very soon, on tuesday evening, rome time, is whether or not those cardinal who is have been talking with the others and who are ready to make their first vote are in agreement with the other cardinals. it's like the primaries. it's a famous vaticanista said today, the first vote on tuesday afternoon will be like the

primary who is finding out who really has enough support. if your candidate doesn't have support, consensus with another round of ballots. it's going to be a fascinating few days. >> eric: it sounds like that. you talked about the needs for an administrator who can help clean up the financial issues, as well as someone who can be very conversant with the social media and be a good communicator. i will go through a list and get your reaction, what they face, you have angelo cardinal skoala, who is italian and would rather than the papacy to the italians. peter cardinal turkson from ghana, from africa, that would be unusual. cardinal la net from canada. a cardinal from the philippines. he uses facebook, he's one of the youngest cardinals and a brazilian who is 63 and tweets and is on tv.

your reaction? >> you know, eric, all five of those that you mentioned are real players in this conclave. but there are others as limp the italian press is going crazy over cardinal dolan and cardinal o'malley from boston. and there are a lot in play. but what is different compared to 8 years ago in the last conclave, the cardinals have told me and the vaticanista have told me, in 2005, the names that the press were putting out were not the once they were talking about. they were talking about cardinal rasinger and cardinal francis george said publicly to the press, the ones that the press are talking about, we are also talking about. that's very different, which means that the field is wide open. the good news is that all of those candidates in my opinion would bring a different and i think a much-needed face to the

church. cardinal rasinger, pope benedict did an excellent job as a teacher. but certainly in these challenging time, the church is looking for someone to meet the champions in a new way. >> eric: you gave a shoutout to cardinal dolan. he has been wowing them in rome. it's the first time that an american is being allegedly considered is a major development. you know cardinal dolan very well. you work with him. tell me about the reaction there to him? >> i was just with him at his church, a cardinal's hometown church here in rome. cardinals are archbishops of their local area and they are princes of the church. they are here in rome and they have an attachment to a local parish. he was in a parish outside of roam. and there were flocks of people and media there. one of the ladies who is in a house next door looked out the

window and said, your eminence, after mass, let me make you a plate of pasta. he went over and ate a plate of pasta -- as far as i know, i didn't see him eating it. he came out to the window because people were shouting to him. my guess is that we will see that in the papers tomorrow. there is a sense that the american church which has dealt with the sexual abuse scandal that erupted in 2002 and has developed in a positive way over the last 10 years, are making a difference in this conclave as never before. absolutely novel in italy to have the italians looking to the americans as real contenders or at least as real voices in determining weather where they are going to go. >> eric: it begins tuesday. we will see. father, i know you will be there, reporting on it for us, throughout the week. >> tell jamie. you have to tell jamie i said hello. she was the first fox person i

ever met on the streets here t8 years ago and she put my on the air. a shoutout to you. >> jamie: god bless you, father jonathan. >> eric: thank you, father. >> thank you. >> jamie: it has been more than a week since those automatic budget cuts took effect. the initial impact of the sweeping changes haven't been as catastrophic as the obama administration had predicted. that's good news. but are we any closer to balancing the federal budget? paul ryan says he has a plan to get the nation's finances back on track. steve centanni has more on that. lots of buzz about the budget this morning in washington. >> reporter: that's right. the next step, of course, is a new budget plan that congressman paul ryan plans to unveil on tuesday. the house budget committee chairman appeared appeared on "s sunday" and said something has to be done. >> the president has us on a path for a debt crisis that brings us to a recession, that

gives us a european type of experience that we want to avoid. we want people to go back to work, higher wannels, a growing economy. we get that by balancing the budget. >> reporter: he says his proposal will promote the idea of repealing president obama's health care law. and he says that he hopes that the president has more constructive meetings like the lunch he had last week with ryan. ryan says the pudding will be in the weeks ahead. there was a dinner for republicans last week. >> i am welcoming. i think the president's tremendously sincere. i don't think this is a political change in tactic. i think he would like to solve the problems of the country and it would be to his benefit and certainly to the americans' benefit if he did that. >> reporter: the president has insisted on a balanced approach, that means raising new revenues.

democrats support that approach. >> at the end of the day, we will have to find a balanced solution that will involve talking about revenues, talking about expenses, talking about entitlements, we have to do that. >> reporter: the president will meet with other members of congress on capitol hill this week. >> jamie: stay on it for us, steve. thank you. how about all of this finger pointing over who is to blame for budget troubles? this week, white house officials cancelled all tours what have is the people's house, the white house, in what they say is a cost-cutting move. but that is leaving many americans wondering how well the government is spending their tax dollars. joining us is the chairman of the civic forum pac and former outreach director for john mccain for president. julie rabeginski is here with us, former adviser to democratic senator frank lautenberg of new jersey. >> thank you for having us. >> jamie: it's a pleasure. let's start with you, since you

are so cheery and enthusiastic. when you look at the cuts, you know, we talk about the white house tours, that was a big one this week, obviously. in cuts sim to be necessary. are we on the right track? >> no, we are not on the right track. and the bottom line is, our debt is $16.5 trillion. we won't get there until both sides stop demonizing each other. the democrats have to admit we have a spending problem. if we don't get that under control, we will have a weaker dollar. in an effort to be bipartisan today, i am going to tell you, if we are going to balance the budget, republicans are going to have to give in a little bit with respect to revenue. revenue's likely to increase if we are to tackle this problem. >> jamie: julie, the president -- in a different move in the second term than in the first term, did reach across, did dine, did chat, did talk and has more plans as eric mekzed to meet with g.o.p. members and try

to come up with a resolution. of all the cuts, there are any that are so disturbing to you that you hope they are at the top of the list of figuring out how we can reallocate money. >> in the spirit of bipartisanship, i wore the red dress. so apparently, we planned this this morning. i feel bad for the kid who is want to visit the white house and made plans to do that. but they will survive. i am concerned about the program that funds money for women and children who are -- nutritional programs for women and children who couldn't afford them. this sequester will cut 750,000 people from that program. these are babies that depend on formula to survive. white house tours -- yeah, it's a bummer, but this is life and death and that to me is a much bigger issue. this is something that i think is really unconscionable. >> julie, let me say this, cutting the white house tours was a petty move because we know

what's going on here. this is jockeying back and forth. the problem with the sequester is that it disproportionately targets programs that are not part of the debt. i think the democrats don't want to modernize entitlements, that's 62% power spending and ballooning by the hour. it's going to become the point where we are an assisted living program with a military. both sides have to be honest about what is driving the debt and how to modernize the entitlements because if we don't, we will weaken the value of the dollar and we won't have economic growth -- [overlapping dialogue] >> jamie: julie, weigh in on entitlements. i have to show you three expenses that caught us -- or i in particular -- and ask you -- go ahead. >> ford is right, the sequester does want address the real crisis of entitlements.

it's arbitrary and cruel and doesn't affect the problem. ford's absolutely right. but the larger issue to me is that obama did propose a plan to get rid of the sequester that would have addressed entitlement and cut medicare and medicaid. so he is addressing those issues. but the republicans didn't want to take him up on it -- >> jamie: i have to squeeze this in. you know how this is. what doming of these? let's put up the full screens of some of the expenses and costs. calligraphy charges, $277,000. pig swine research, since yesterday, i am trying to figure out what we can learn from that. nice shot, guys. then there is dog grooming. special tea shampoo products. $500,000. really? >> i love my dog where i think i would spend that monohis grooming. i don't know why the government's spending that

money. >> waste, fraud and abuse is nothing new. if the american public -- if politicians would talk about this, the mish public would be more in tune. they have no idea. but if we put them all out there, everybody would go crazy and you forgot the government junkets, $340 million. waste, fraud and abuse is part of the deficit reduction, if we don't get to that, guess what? that will continue. we may be kicking america to its grave. >> jamie: you guys, you have made the effort, red on this side, blue on this side. i will get the memo and wear white. meantime, thanks so much. i hope our elected officials can do the same. >> thank you. >> jamie: okay. see you next time. >> eric: fracking is a controversial method of extracting natural gas in the ground. it has caused concern from critics. they warn about health effects and polluting and drinking water. the industry contends that

fracking is safe and they point to pennsylvania, for example and in new york state, it is banned. but other states are considering it. tonight, john stossel takes a look. >> people are dying. >> a mutation of our children. >> people are getting sick yew would think so since that anti-fracking movie includes this frightening scene. >> whoa. jesus christ. >> reporter: so much gas in his water, he could light it. but when state and environmental officials investigated this incident, they concluded, frac hotdog nothing to do with it. it was just gas that is naturally in the ground. that happens. there are many places in america where no fracking is done but... >> whoa! >> reporter: water catches fire. this is a lake in alaska. this man lives in new york, where fracking is banned. yet... >> whoa!

>> eric: you wouldn't want that out of your faucet. tonight, john's program, myths, lies and complete stupidity is coming up tonight at 8:00 p.m. >> jamie: if that title doesn't get your attention. tragedy in the skies. a small plane crashes into a residential home, killing one man, injuring another. witnesses say what they saw before impact may help investigators. >> eric: you know, it can be really annoying and cost a lot. but now there is a crashing down. those millions of unwanted text messages, what to do about them. how to stop them. we will have the latest on that. for over 75 years people have saved money with...ohhh... ...with geico... ohhh...sorry! director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw... for over 75 year...(laughs. but still trying to keep it contained) director's voice: keep it together. i'm good. i'm good.

>> eric: a small plane crash in washington state has claimed the life of a 45-year-old man. the airplane slam into the garage of a home in seattle, washington. another passenger in his 20s, believed to be a relative, was critically injured. according to witnesses, the single-engine plane flipped upside down in the air before it hit the ground, right in the garage of that home. >> sounded like a gunshot really. it sounded like somebody was shooting and then, you know, when i heard that sound, i looked out the window, that's when i saw the cop car in front

of the house. >> it's just scary. like no one was hurt inside the house, which is really lucky. but that could be anyone's house. you don't really think about that ever. >> eric: police say the homeowner's son and a friend were at home at the time of the crash, but luckily, they were not injured. >> jamie: the federal trade commission is filing cases against eight companies that are accused of bombarding cell phone users with millions of unwanted text messages. have you gotten anything? you might win something or they try to confirm your bank information. it's calling smishing and i wanted to give you a look inside this texting scam, the latest scam to hit your cell phone and how you can protect yourself. so joining me now to help, the lead analyst of networking and business at pcmag.com. great toy sue. thank you. >> thank you.

>> jamie: i couldn't believe how many people are smished. how do we stop it? >> it's becoming a rapidly growing problem. there are a couple of ways to stop t. you want to recognize when you are getting smished. usually, they look like legitimate texts from a big business retailer, like best buy or target and they ask you to do things like sign up for a web site or enter information for a free gift card. if you get these messages, you want to do a couple of things. the first thing you want to do is to send a short code 7726, this will report that text to the carrier and to researchers. >> 7726. but do want -- do not text stop. >> right,. >> jamie: why? >> stop only works if it's a service that you signed up for, like a messaging alert. also, if you text back stop to a

scam text, it authenticates you to the attacker, your cell number. so you don't want to do that. >> jamie: so you get more of them. >> that's correct. >> jamie: the ftc files these cases. i understand that smishing to cell phones may be able to be eradicated, as opposed to the smishing and phishing on the computer. >> this type of mobile attack can be eradicated because there are a lot of parties who are extra vigilant, have you the ftc and the carriers themselves. so have you all of these defense mechanisms. >> jamie: one of the problems that i hear from people who have been smished is that when they get the text messages -- unwanted, not recognizable -- they get charged.

>> yeah. that's a big problem. that's what tends to get people the most upset about it. you can always contest your charges with your carrier, that's why it's important to send any suspicious texts to the 7726 number. it acts as a record that you can, you know, keep track of for your carrier and contest any charges. >> jamie: that's a great point. is there virus protection software to protect your phone, like you can protect unwanted web sites and texts. we know had which once they are, to your computer. is there a way to do it with your phone now? >> there are 242 great products, for either platform for the android or ios. there is a great mobile security solution for android and panda makes an anti-virus for mac. but you can attach any ios device, like iphone or ipad and tell scan for any

security threats. >> jamie: how big a threat is this right now? >> it's growing. it has increased some figures say 300% on the last year. but we do have a good handle on it. the security industry has a great handle on ta great resource to combat t. i think it will be eradicated. >> jamie: very good. nice to meet you. that's why we do these consumer protection segments. i want to you take charge and not get ripped off. >> nice to be here. >> jamie: you can get more of my take charge consumer protection segments on a lot of issues that will save you money and heartache. go to foxnews.com and click on america's news headquarters and you will see the last 21 of our consumer protection segments. >> eric: i don't want to get smished. >> jamie: if they say your atm card is lost or they want your banking information, that's the number-1 scam. >> eric: it looks so real.

>> jamie: don't fall for it. >> eric: osama bin osama bin las son-in-law, is set to face trial in a u.s. federal courtroom here in our country. coming up, new york congressman peter king thinks that's the wrong thing to do. imeout because apparently riding the dog like it's a small horse is frowned upon in this establishment! luckily though, ya know, i conceal this bad boy underneath my blanket just so i can get on e-trade. check my investment portfolio, research stocks... wait, why are you taking... oh, i see...solitary. just a man and his thoughts. and a smartphone... with an e-trade app. ♪ nobody knows... [ male announcer ] e-trade. investing unleashed.

>> welcome back, there is a growing national security debate, following the capture of osama bin laden's son-in-law, a top al qaeda operative who has publicly vowed he wants to kill americans. the obama administration decision to try him in federal court in the united states has raised questions about whether or not terror suspects that are captured overseas belong in the u.s. judicial system. and congressman from new york peter king has been very vocal

about this. >> good morning, jamie. >> jamie: what's the problem? >> problem is that, first of all, let me just say that -- not as a problem, i give tremendous credit to the law enforcement, counter terrorism and intelligence agencies to bring this terrorist in. i applaud them. i think this is a matter of principle and long-term strategy. it's important for the terrorists to be brought to military tribunals. guantanamo is the ultimate location. not so much for the conviction, but because of the intelligence that can be gotten from them, through interrogation, through constant debriefing. i know the government says they have a 22-page statement. but i think, again, you know, the press reports are he was in iran for a number of years. we could find out much mores about the nexus between iran and al qaeda and the circle around bin laden and where some of those people may be today.

this case to me, while it probably will be a conviction in a civilian court, the main thing to me is the precedent of the debriefings and the interrogations that should be done without miranda warnings or access to an attorney. that to me is the main issue here. >> jamie: is the other issue whether or not terror suspect is capture in the united states, wanting harm in the united states, versus overseas? >> i think the fact it's overseas makes the case a lot better, a lot stronger, to have him tried in guantanamo. also, to me, even i don't believe someone captured in the u.s. has a right to be tried in a federal court, but being captured overseas, that makes the case far stronger. also, jamie, vian overriding concern, or another concern, it's been tried in a civilian court, that the type of evidence that could come out could aid al qaeda in knowing what we know -- >> jamie: of course.

>> in the 1990s. bin laden learned information from the blind sheikh. >> jamie: you know, because we have had this conversation before, i was in the second tower on the day of 9/11, on another story, and i happened to be there when the second plane hit. what i experienced -- i didn't lose family members like so many of your constituents did. do you not think there is some benefit as in a murder trial, any murder trial, where a victim can come, a family member, give an impact statement, see the defendant face to face and actually feel the justice happening? which they can do if it's in new york? >> jamie, that's a two-sided coin. we have to balance there. i know a number of family who is would like the opportunity, appreciate the opportunity to be in court and confront these terrorists. on the other hand, the fact that they just sit there and see these terrorists being given their rights that the american citizens are entitled to.

for them, it's demeaning, a number of family members have told me, it's demeaning and distressing to them the thought that someone who murdered their son, daughter, husband, wife, will be treated with all of constitutional rights, which as enemy combatants, they don't have to have. and it's giving them a dignity that they don't deserve. >> jamie: let me explain from a legal standpoint, the miranda rights are in play in the federal court, questioning might be limited, evidence might be limited that would be useful in a military tribunal. second thing i want to ask you about, and you have been very vocal about this, too. the tsa, on occasion will test tsa screeners, walking through with simulated ieds and it happened in newark and a simulated bomb got through. have you asked for a head-to-toe, top-tow-bottom investigation. what is the state of the tsa and

our national security? >> i have a great regard for the administrate of the tsa and i have called on him for a full evaluation and report to find out wais wrong with tsa at newark airport. we can't afford to have the possibility of a bomb brought onto a plane. i mean, apart from the tragic loss of life, that would psychologically put us back to september 12, 2001. overo all, there are real deficiencies with tsa. on the other hand, there are multiple layers of defense that the tsa has at the airport. while these inspectors, obviously, this is inexcusable. we should keep in mind, there are a number of levels of deterrents at the airports, starting with before you get there. i don't want to be encouraging terrorists to get on the planes because we have not had anyone get on a plane successfully with an explosive device in the united states in the last 11 1/2 years. >> jamie: for many, it's too close for comfort.

and a former tsa screener had this to say, if we can put up the full screen, quickly. vione more question. these are employee who is had a job in the private sector and i wouldn't trust them to walk my dog. folks can understand, they don't need a college degree or a g.e.d. and you are going to get answers on this topic. i need an answer on this topic. congressman king, you are a busy guy. so am i. we both have a fondness for this. let me play this video. this, ladies and gentlemen, is congressman peter king in the ring. sir, you know, i have been boxing for a couple of years. i am ready. i saw your performance on this one. hua good fight. did you enjoy it? >> it was good. it was a great experience.

i don't golf or take vacations. this was saturday evening in new york, josh is a great guy, great fighter. we had a two-round exhibition and it was good. it was a real good community event. with a sellout crowd. i survived it. but if i do act wobbly today, i did take a few shots to the head. >> jamie: wow. you think you are ready you? ready for me, sir? >> i am not ready for you, jamie. >> jamie: we are not hitting the links, we're hitting the ring. congressman, please take care of us and our safety at our airports. and thank you for weighing in on the trial downtown, on a very serious topic. thank you. >> thankee, jamie. >> eric: now for a look beyond the news with liz trotta's sunday commentary. >> secretary of state john kerry on his maiden diplomatic query

to the middle-east arrived in egypt last week, along with biblical forms of locusts, writers searched for meaning, wearing god of the egyptians with 10 plagues because pharoah refused to release the jews. the eighth plague was locusts. if there is a bad omen anywhere in this coincidence, it is that mr. kerry left after promising egypt millions of dollars in foreign aid, even as the streets ran blood weprotests against the government of muhammad morsi, the islamist president of egypt. mr. kerry would have us believe that egypt will adopt political and economic reforms in exchange for u.s. financial backing. no more oppression of the opposition, no more interference with basic human liberties. it is a mark of the routine contempt that the obama administration has for americans when it tries to convince us that mr. morsi and his muslim

brotherhood have anything in mind other than the complete and extreme islamist domination of the middle-east. once more, we are being played for -- well, suckers. may sm may argue foreign policy must be practical and sometimes heartless and what's more, egypt is still in play, as they say. so supplying egypt with ready cash, f-14s and tanks, as we are doing, is part of a larger, more sophisticated world view. play that scenario against the atrocities of the muslim brotherhood's ongoing record -- an unabated and murderous campaign to rid the middle east and egypt in particular of any christian presence, just as jews are abandoning an increasingly anti-semitic turkey, coptic christians are fleeing pharoah's land by the thousands as morsi's

marauders collect fem for persecution. drive out catholic nuns and priests. each children are arrested for any perceived blasphemy, a crime in the sharia-based law of the constitution. does mr. kerry or anyone really believe that radical islam is anything more than ethnic cleansing and domination? perhaps when egypt turns the fighter jets against our allies and in benghazi, americans as well. this is a ludicrous iteration of obama's muslim outreach. the result is a foreign policy blind to international ethics, devoid of a moral core. issue we courage use enough to honestly evaluate our imoverseas? a car teen of a -- cartoon of a groveling secretary of state, offering hon tow killer bees?

the security police have gone on strike, having lost their nerve and many lives, battling against just about everything. key leaders of the chief opposition party, the national salvation front, refused to meet with mr. kerry during his visit. to them, usa is just another power grab for morsi. they also wanted to underscore their insistence on free and fair elections scheduled for april. not only will elections mark april as a cruel time in egypt, former u.s. friend and president hosni mubarak, who was ousted in the revolution 2 years ago, will be tried again. a combustible event sure to royal the warring factions. meanwhile, the new secretary of state is sticking to his script, after leading morsi, he said, when egypt takes the difficult steps to strengthen its economy and build political unity and justice, we will also unlock

much-needed private-sector investments and broader financial assistance. with that, he completed his two-day drop-in, by releasing $250 million of u.s. aid, with many more yillion -- millions standing by in the pipeline of it is indeed the time of the locusts. >> eric: more voter registration fraud has surfaced. coming up, we will tell you who it is and how to stop it. ♪

up? we are joined by pred petty, a lawyer with the company in arizona. >> thank you for having me. >> eric: you know, when this first broke, critics said this is evidence that strategic allied and the republicans are trying to suppress the vote, they were only signing up democrats and the like. what is your reaction thothat? >> well, eric, from the outset, we have always maintained that my client, strategic allied consulting, ran a very vigorous, quality-control program. and then in the end, those allegations would prove to be not true. that's the case. that is what has happened here. out of over 2,000 employees, hired in a three-month period, there are two that have been pled guilty and four more that are under investigation. we're probably talking less than 1 hundred... registration forms out of over 50,000 that were turned in.

it really is -- it's a nonstory from the standpoint of corruption on the part of -- the part of my company. >> eric: how do you think that groups can stop it? it's a third-party group. a.c.o.r.n. was a third-party group. like a driver's license, you go to the board of elections, get your driver's license or the irs, they send you the tax form. is it a problem with third-party groups? if you want to vote, why not just go and sign up? >> it's a good question. here's the balance, i think have you to make. if you want to encourage people and get large numbers of people into the electoral process, people voting, the best way to do that is to have third-party groups trying to register people to vote. any time you get human beings involved, you are going to have problems. you can certainly strive for perfection, knowing you can't ataketain it and shoot for

excellence. but if you get people involved, there are going to be mistakes. if you are worried about that, then do like you have just asked -- go back to going down to the county recorder's office and having people register to vote there. but you know what? you are still going to have mistakes -- >> eric: briefly, do you think it can be mistake-free? >> no. you have human beings in a situation, you can never have perfection. there is always going to be someone who is going to either be lazy or cut a corner and not do what they are supposed to do. that's what happened here. people that were supposed to be outregisterring voters, simply didn't want to stand out in the hot sun and did do that, so they made up names and filled out forms. >> eric: we have seen it before and hopefully, we won't have it again as we highlight these cases. thank you for joining us on this sudden morning. >> thank you for having me.

>> eric: well, one person has been killed after stormy seas kill aid sailboat that was taking part in a fleys southern california. five other crew members were

rescued. the crew initially sent a may day call and declined assistance and wanted a tow boat. but the tow boat could not reach them in time because of the storm. they were forced to abandon ship as it began drifting toward the rocky shore. >> jamie: how about this? a radical new step in the fight against drunk driving. there are lawmakers in one state that introduced an aggressive new bill that would prevent anyone charged with the offense from purchasing alcohol -- ever. dominic is live in los angeles. >> reporter: hey there, jamie. interesting stuff. give me background to the massive problem in new mexico. the eighth highest death rate in the nation from alcohol-related car crashes. in a 2005 law, people convicted of drunk driving have to install an ignition interlock devices. you can see them on the crean

there. they prevent the car from start figure you are over a certain limit. now lawmakers want to take it a step furthered, so people convicted of drunk driving from buying alcohol anywhere at all, including liquor store, bar, restaurants, under the measure, drivers with the interlock would get a specially marked license to show they are prohibited from buying alcohol. take a listen. >> it's hard to quantify, but i think it could be a big difference, sfcial if your family is the one not injured or killed by the one drunk driver deterred from drinking and driving. >> reporter: this bill got a lot of backing in the new mexico house with a landslide vote in its favor, 59-5. if it makes it a final approval, this would be one of the most restrictive drunk driving laws in the united states. >> jamie: thank you. eric. >> eric: well, you know, in vatican city, they are 48 hours
