>> that is all the time we have from this evenenenenenen we begin with a fox news alert from the cpac straw poll. senator rand paul wins the contest for the third time in a row, beating out a crowded field of potential 2016 gop contenders. i'm arthel neville. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> i'm eric shawn. the headline from the vote today could be who came in as number two. that is wisconsin governor scott walker. he's five points behind senator paul. as the cpac gathering wraps up in maryland right now free markets, small government conservatives are getting their chance to take a close look at some of the other potential 2016 republican nominees. at the club for growth annual winter conference in palm beach.

that's where john roen covering that meeting at the breakers hotel there in palm beach, florida all day. he has the very latest. hi john. >> reporter: eric, good evening to you. the club for growth is one of the most important and influential conservative groups in the united states. just ask senator that thad cochran of mississippi whose career was nearly ended because the club backed his opponent last year. scott walker, who was number two in the straw poll was well regarded in his talk this morning for waging conservative battles in wisconsin. though some members said they found him a little thin on economic and foreign policy. so perhaps governor walker has to study up a little more. good news for walker, though, a quinnipiac university poll this week has him way out in the lead in iowa with about 25% support. in an interview with me i asked him about the poll's findings that he does well among a variety of groups from the tea

party to independent. >> sometimes the analysts don't get this that the base in my party wants people to tell it like it is and go out and do it. they don't need to have a litmus test that you check off every single issue on. what they want more than anything, because they've been burned so many times before is they want candidates who will lay out what they're going to do and do it. >> reporter: senator ted cruz of texas, number three in the cpac straw poll is emerging as the populist candidate for the work class, telling me that the slings and arrows that he's taking from his colleagues on capitol hill are helping his potential run. >> the attacks from washington from democrats and republicans that have been lodged my way i think somehow that's cut through the noise and the people who are getting hammered the working men and women who are seeing their wages stagnate who are seeing their future harder and harder to achieve i think their attitude is you know what?

if those guys are that ticked at you, you got to be doing something right. >> reporter: senator cruz strongly urging the club for growth to get behind a conservative candidate and not to have as a republican party nominee for 2016 another quote, squishy moderate because every time they do that, they lose the election. eric? >> all right. quite a message today from cpac and we'll have a lot more throughout the newscast. we will have a fair and balanced analysis of these poll results. our political panel will join us in a few minutes to sort out what this means. from a political winner to political chaos, uncertainty lawmakers passing a seven-day stopgap funding measure to keep the homeland security running. underscoring deep divisions over the way forward. gop lawmakers split with some want to go reverse president obama's immigration orders as a condition for funding dhs and

others who want a stand alone funding bill. peter doocy has been watching this bouncing ball and has the details from washington. hi. >> reporter: hi. the one week extension means that nobody working under the dhs umbrella is going to get furloughed or go without a paycheck for at least another six days and means the republicans are going to get another crack at cutting out money used to fund president obama's executive actions on immigration. >> all overt country republicans, senate and house candidates told the people, if you give us a republican majority, we will stop president obama's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty. i think we need to follow through on that commitment. >> reporter: senator john mccain is looking into the future at fights over the budget, money for fighting isis, and highway funding, just to name a few. he wants to focus there, telling the hill newspaper quote, i just think we ought to move on to other things. i'm not sure how it helps for

the american people to have the perception that republicans in the senate and republicans in the house are at odds with each other. then there is the point democrats are making about how they think anybody that takes issues with immigration to congress is in the wrong place. >> there is some serious controversy over how to deal with the immigration. but also the immigration issue, according to discussion yesterday on the floor, was the constitutional issue. maybe yes, maybe no, but that's something since mull berry, madison back in the early days of our republic has been decided by the courts and the courts have this case underway. we ought to put that issue aside. >> reporter: and the rest of this session could be turbulent. we received word there are more than 50 conservative republicans part of the new freedom caucus who are not at all happy with the way that speaker of the house john boehner has been running things. arthel? >> okay. peter doocy, thanks.

now a brazen and cold blooded assassination on the streets of moscow. right in the shadow of the kremlin, it was supposed to be a protest march against vladimir putin's policies tomorrow will turn into a mass tribute as tens of thousands are expected to march in central moscow tomorrow in memory of opposition leader boris nemtsov. he was shot last night as he walked on the street. stunned mourners are laying flowers and lighting candles on the bridge where nemtsov was gunned down. he was the most prominent critic of putin and russians intervention in ukraine who worried putin would kill him and we're told was about to release damning evidence of russian forces in ukraine despite putin's denials. amy kellogg has the latest on this shocking killing from london. >> reporter: president obama has offered donnelences to not only the family of boris nemtsov but

to the russian people saying they've lost one of their most dedicated and eloquent defenders of their rights. the charismatic politician star rose quickly in the '90s and after president putin took power, it felt for many different reasons, including the political environment which has kept opposition leaders sidelined. in that regard some people say that nemtsov was not really a threat to the kremlin, but rather more of an irritation these days because he remained outspoken, including hours before his murder, when he went on the radio station to encourage people to come out and demonstrate against the government's actions in ukraine this sunday. he was a fierce opponent of the war in ukraine and he was planning to publish a report that people close to him say would have documented russia's direct role in the hostilities something russia denies and ukraine's president believes nemtsov was killed because of this. he was gunned down by an

assassin shortly before midnight, walking with a female companion, said to be a model from ukraine. and this was close to the kremlin. the hit was precise. she was unharmed. he took four bullets to the back. it's important to remember that nemtsov had been an outspoken defender of democracy for a long time. he was involved in the orange revolution in ukraine back in 2006 and he came to the government's attention in russia decades ago when he was the governor of an area, and back then, he was campaigning for a government that would be more accountable to the people. eric? >> all right. thanks some. amy kellogg from london. there is a long list of suspicious murders in russia. nemtsov not the first critic of vladimir putin to die under these type of circumstances. journalist anna was shot to death in an elevator in a moscow apartment building that happened in 2006. her long work was sharply critical of kremlin policies in zschech chechnya.

a man died after drinking tea laced with the radioactive employee tone yum in#/& two weeks before he was poisoned, he blamed vladimir putin for the murder of her. the human rights lawyer was shot to death after he was leaving a news conference in 2009. that less than one mile from the kremlin. now today russia's top investigative body, the ministry of internal affairs looking into the latest on that list, the killing of boris nemtsov. while some critics point to putin's own government two weeks ago in an interview, nemtsov, said, quote, i'm afraid putin will kill me. i believe that he was the one who unleashed the war in ukraine. meanwhile, a ukrainian photo journalist killed in shelling, despite a cease fire declared earlier this month.

photo journalist was injured in an 'tilery strike near the rebel stronghold and died of his wounds at a hospital. at least seven journalists have been killed in eastern ukraine since the conflict began last year. back in our country in washington, while the debate rages on over congress over the president's immigration orders, one family is emotional and heartfelt with a flee. they are speaking out after their son was murdered in cold blood by a man in our country illegally who authorities say was released from immigration custody after a felony arrest. you're look at the victim of this horrible crime. now adam housley has the latest from our west coast bureau. hi. >> reporter: hi. his family hoping his murder doesn't go in vain. they hope it's a catalyst of change. they say that there is really no reason why this should happen and they blame actually not only the politicians, but also immigration officials, thus the federal government, for the way

they've been handling illegal immigration issues. he was a clerk at a quickie mart in the phoenix area and he was shot and killed. his dad says he was his best friend, his son and he blames directly u.s. lawmakers and immigration officials. this is the accused gunman. he's an undocumented immigrant, illegal immigrant who was convicted of a violent burglary here in the u.s. about three years ago. he was released from federal custody on bond, but in the time since, he's had two protective orders against him because women against him claim he threatened to kill him, yet he was still allowed to go free. instead of he was accuse of murdering grant runningbeck after basically fighting or disagreeing over a pack of cigarettes in the middle of the night. his father is, as you might imagine, extremely upset. they're heart broken and they say they don't want his death to be in vain and they're urging lawmakers and everybody else to make some changes. >> we want change.

and the best way to honor grant is hopefully to get to change. how are you going to keep it f2kór happening again? that's the answer i want. how do we know this won't happen again? somebody else's son or daughter. >> reporter: grant's uncle did appear before congress urging the same thing. they do want immigration policy changes. no word at this hour what that might entail or if anything might change at all. meantime, more issues along the borrowed all told. the agency's agents down there having to deal with illegal immigrants and coming across the borrowedder and also the threats that remain, including from drug cartels, a massive bust on thursday. the pictures now in. 15-tons of dope captured at the border crossing basically south of san diego. we've been there a lot of times for fox doing live shots there. basically a driver of a semi truck was coming through, claimed he had mattresses in the back of the semi. very intense and astute officers didn't feel that story jived. they pulled him aside for

secondary inspection and during that secondary inspection they found 15-tons of marijuana in the back, the second largest seizure of drugs on the u.s.pñ border in history. >> the horrific murder something that could have been prevented. what a tragedy. >> absolutely. there is a powerful winter storm hammering parts of texas and oklahoma. officials warning people to stay off the roads 'til temperatures rise there. the storm also causing cancellation of about 1,000 flights at it dfw airport. thousands of passengers forced to spend the night at the airport and a winter weather advisory issued for the dallas-fort worth area until tonight. up north in massachusetts, a snow weighted roof collapsing at a skating rink. a youth hockey team was inside the rink, but luckily they accept escaped without injury.

>> they are lucky. prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be here in the united states on capitol hill addressing congre4x in three days. what he will say, what he will warn and how his words will affect those ongoing nuclear negotiations with iran. plus, a high school honors student, honor roll student charged with involuntary manslaughter after her friend's suicide. we're going to get a live report on that story. those cpac results, rand walker cruz, carson@ what it all means. our political panel will weigh in on theú÷,h. race for the white house. >> the winner of the cpac 2016 presidential straw poll is rand"y)ñ paul! 73% of americans try... ...to cook healthy meals. yet up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more... ...add one a day 50+. complete with key nutrients we may need. plus it supports physical energy

iph back to our top story, senator rand paul winning the cpac straw poll8doy for a third straight year. wisconsin governor scott walker coming inlñ a close second. the pair beating out a&csç crowde fieldnky?8ú crowded field of potential 2016 republican presidential ñ there were plenty of other story lines from this year's conference like former florida governor jeb bush proving that he can hold:dj his owná( with![ the base after a9=v: lively question and answer session0o-dñ with fox's sean hannity. so who were the othere,, winners andr!nññ losers at the] conservative!> joining me isrbfhz tammyñ and chuck roacha, presidentriov of solidarity strategies, and tammy, i want to start with you.e3'ñ i ran into you in the make-up room and you hadjt6 so i'm jusyz going to away. >> i have to say with your lead-in about jeb bush being able to hold his own.

he bussed in those people. now,gyñ look part of winning a pres)á ial election is being able to organize. but he heard of a plan to walk out of his speech and then he organized people in dc andy bussed in individuals. so that roomq#@q wasvúf%j a bit ofñcñ theater, i think. but again,góçbñ that's nothing to sneeze at. at the same time, it seems like he was talking past the base, which is strange because both his father and his brother really=1] engaged the conservative base. butofl for jeb bush, it -úylu like it's a bit of anac> let me jump in:1 there.t = if jeb bush yí talking you said away from the base]c@l or what wasx"fr words? >> past ;ñ it. >> what messaookuum he sending and who was he sunning that message to? >> he was really talking, it0 y]5sr)q e was running the general election. he's speaking to kind o_> a center left group, he's talking8ú!z about. he's for the amnesty. not apologizing for that.;i@/ he likes common core. he also has noted that obamacare is not inpi)d hisoóc?ñ top fiveri @&c @&c@

priorities.ñjzez twitter, one sounds like he's trying for a gig at" network instead of being the president. so he's going to have to get the nomination first before he starts talking to people who are=ç not in the republican party. it seems like he's making that difficult for? v >> on that note, tammy let's bring in chuck. isn't thatu@ the point? you had 3007 respondents for the poll and 42% of them are uhsz9qm9 you're talk being a ñ younger demo. 02ç-1ñ bringing you into the conversation now that young demo, they want that person who is going to talk the talk and z[y just in the beginning to certain people on board. >> maybe that's why rand paul won. he wants to decriminalize marijuana, maybe there is a lot of folks want to have a good time. rq in a row. i think he'sn the big winner here. i think it was ironic that he took on bush earlier in the week calling%2xt him a smoking marijuana, then calling him a rich boy and calling this $yh tuff and that and kinde#ñ of

trying to pull him out smoke him out. and then the other=#)ñ day he ends up(xñ winning? i think it's unique. in iowa, it's the right of the right who actual lea will go and caucus on a cold night in iowa. and that's what cpac is ÷ip &c @&c@ they got to get the base motivated 'cause that's who is going to voteea5k the early primary. u to talkn things. two people tammy. you got scott walker coming inr[ú with 21.d3] number two spot today. then down in number 9 is carly fiorina. she came in at 3%. but you'rexál saying don't discount carly right?# >> yeah. i think she's the black swan. i thinkuhípeople realize there is not a real for thecb(t nomination. but when it comes to& f presidency, everybody is: w_ ñ thinking walker-fiwvbjy bush-fee rhea. you can attach her and go after hillary clinton without being sexist. even on her own, she's been very, very impressive and people really liked her atxv&

walker did not really bus people in. so for him to get so close in that line-up, i think is very impressive. it really04áñ comes down to, and rand paul also goes after othercñjñz republicans andw walker rarely has done that or he, like fiorina, go after obama and hillary. i think that republicans seem to be wanting more of that these days. >> chuck we're winding down here. tell me$ f÷ your thoughts. >> these guys are fishing out there to see who is going to take their bait, like behind me they're out there seeing will this work? will that work? how do i get the feedback? i think there was a lot of questions answered, especially with scott8,2fñ walker. >> it's a litj test indeed. so we will watch this as we.pck move on with senator rand paul beingq .x the 2015 cpac straw pollcnçruju and i thank youmm÷ both, tammy bruce, and chuck. and tammy, thanks for letting me" wear your earrings. >> they look great on you. >> i will run them.

thank you. a high school student in massachusetts has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after her friend's suicide. an interesting case and the prosecutors say this 18-year-old, michelle carter, they say she encouraged her friend also 18-year-old to commit suicide. rory killed him instead of a park lot of atoñ store. the #9yi)as ruled carbon monoxide poisoning. bryan llenas has the details on this story. >> reporter: hi. prosecutors say michelle carter encouraged 18-year-old conrad roych ñ iii to kill himself right up to his last moments even helping conrad choose how he wanted to die. and now they're charging her for his death. conrad was found dead in his truck parked behind a k-mart in fair haven, massachusetts last summer. police searched his phone and found more than 1,000 text messages betweenq michelle. according to court documents

obtained by the fair haven neighborhood news in several texts while conrad was in the;z truck, heam)mñ told michelle that he was scared and didn't want to leave his family. but still she encouraged him to go through with it. at one point conrad got out of the truck, in which michelle replied, getgáañ!i ñ0g back in. >> instead of attempting to assist him or notify a school official, a counselor, family member anyone, miss carter is alleged to have stronglyx+p? influenced his decision to take his own life. >> reporter: michelle's lawyer says the text messages are being read out of contex┘z=and she's being used as a)ñ telling me today, quote, it was not a death caused "my michelle carter. it was a suicide not a homicide. mr. roy has had a history of wanting to take his life and he finally accomplished that and he did that in his own free will. that, though not ahiez good enough explanation for conrad's

grandmother. >> if she really loved him as she said she did, why didn't she try to persuade you wake up and think, why? why? why? >> and since hisáno death, michelle has tweeted heartfelt messages about conrad and has even1 money forp@-/ñ suicide prevention in his name. michelle was 17 wheng+s happened and is being chargedcxe as a7ez juvenile. eric? >> certainly so senseless and tragic. thanks so much. >> surely is. okay. high drama on capitol[b6k hill. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu gearing up to address congress about iran's nuclk program. so how will this impact negotiationsvmpt ready for the knockout? you don't know "aarp." he's staying in shape by keeping his brain healthy and focused with aarp's staying sharp. with online mind sharpening exercises developed by the top minds in brain science. and exercise and stress

a photo of the man from the isis beheading video seen wearing a pittsburgh pirates baseball cap as a student in london. and in central yemen, a drone strike killing three suspected al-qaeda fighters. the u.s. has launched several strikes there in recent weeks after rebels forced the president to flee the capitol. he is now running the country from the southern city of aidan. kurdish forces taking over an isis stronghold in northeastern syria. local militia gaining ground with the help of u.s. air strikes there. the town important because it links isis-controlled territory in iraq to syria. >> we are focused obviously on iran. the president's made clear, i can't state this more firmly. the policy is iran will not get a nuclear weapon.

>> john kerry this past week forcefully stating the obama administration's stance on iran. as you heard, no nuclear bomb. some are worried that the potential upcoming nuclear deal could still leave that possibility that iran could race toward a bomb when it wants that would be all too real. on tuesday when he addresses congress benjamin netanyahu, is expected to issue that very warning that the world has to do more to stop iran. will this plea work? joining us from los angeles is the leading iranian resistance group representative, which this week reviewed what it says is a secret underground nuclear site that iran has hidden. you know, your group had this evidence satellite photos and such that some critics say is fake. what did you find and why do you think that was important? >> i think the one way to prove either way is to get the iaea to go and inspect the site.

the reason that site was significant in northeast of tehran is that because it's an young ground facility run by the defense ministry. there are four hallways and they're doing uranium enrichment and research and development and there are a number of major organizations and entities and individuals within the iranian regime which we named that were involved in this activity. these are the same individuals that were involved in the operations in natan in known enrichment sites. >> i'm sorry to interrupt you, but do you fear this is an example of an infrastructure that you say iran has hidden from the world powers? >> absolutely. this is did he have -- we've been working on it for five

years, compiling informations from different sources and we were confident that this underground facility is involved in research and development in a secret way. this is a clear violation of the joint plan of agreement. so i think the best way to do is to say this is not true and this is fake and all of that. tehran can prove us wrong by accepting the iaea to go and inspect the site and they need to do it immediately. >> they haven't -- they haven't even let u.n. weapon inspectors inspect the military site. tehran has put off limits various sites in iran that they say has nothing to do with the nuclear program. >> well, that's a good point you raise, eric, because this is a serious concern of congress, when secretary kerry, earlier this week, the members of

congress were so concerned about this new site that four members of congress, including the committee chair asking the secretary of state what is it that the u.s. government is doing to clarify this? you mentioned there are two other major sites that have been off limits. these are the places that the iaea believe, not just us -- that iran is engaged in what they call possible dimensions. this is a serious aspect of the nuclear program of iran because in that same hearing, secretary kerry said there are four pathways for iran to get the bomb. two are three uranium enrichment one is through plutonium and the fourth way, he said is through covert operations. and he said this is the most difficult to detect. so how do you detect the covert activities of the iranian regime, a regime that has a history of 30 years of hiding everything? every place that the iaea is inspecting, we expose them or they found out through third

sources and none of them were declared by iran -- are we counting on iran -- >> we were look at the satellite photos of that latest site. the others say, look if you don't have the talks, they can just do whatever they want. they could race to obama. here is what was in the "new york times," quote ago senior administration official just today. quote, senior administration official contend even an imperfect agreement that kept iran's nuclear efforts frozen frozen for an extended period was preferrable to a breakdown in something that could allow the leadership in tehran unfettered ability to produce enriched uranium and plutonium. what do you fear could happen if they don't have an agreement? >> well, i tell you, this whole agreement is about giving the administration or the world one

year of breakout time. in my view, i think that means like that's another pseudo name for allowing iran to build a bomb. what are they going to do with the one year of break away? no one knows what to do. why do you want to give the iranian regime the ability to enrich when you know their' general do since day one? this whole enrichment program has been about building the bomb. and they're not responding already to a long unanswered questions by the iaea, by the military dimensions. so i think the alternative really is to ratchet up pressure on the iranian regime. congress can play a major role in a bipartisan way to impose sanctions. remember, this is a regime that only understands the language of furloughs and decisiveness. it was congress' sanctions that brought iran to the negotiation table and it will take stepped up measure on the part of congress if honestly speak, at the end of the day the ultimate

solution lies with the iranian people to really change the regime because you know, there is a great desire on the part of the iranians to get rid of this regime. they don't see the nuclear program having any benefit for them. it only prolongs the rule of the mullahs who are not suppressing the iranian population, but they're the biggest source of terrorism and islamic fundamentalism in the region and god forbid if they get the bomb, that's a nightmare. >> you just laid that out. the administration says the president will veto any sanction bill, so it doesn't endanger those negotiations and of course, as we all know iran denied that they want a nuclear bomb. thank you for your insight today. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> arthel. heart disease and stroke, the biggest killers in america. why researchers say women are at great risk. our doctor takes a look at two brand-new studies that's coming up just ahead.

plus hillary clinton wasn't even in the building, but she was topic of discussion at cpac. specifically clinton's fundraising practices and other issues. why some democrats say it shows the potential 2016 gop field is confused about how to take hillary on. >> could have had hillary here, but we couldn't find a foreign nation to foot the bill wvo: caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, like aricept® it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients.

before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had a seizure disorder difficulty passing urine liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about any medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body... and may increase side effects. the most common side effects... are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. wvo: all my life he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about adding... once-daily namenda xr. over the next 40 years the united states population is going to grow by over 90 million people and almost all the growth is going to be in cities. what's the healthiest and best way for them to grow so that they really become cauldrons of prosperity and cities of opportunity? what we have found is that if that family is moved info safe clean, affordable housing, places that have access to great school systems access to jobs and multiple transportation modes then neighborhood begins to thrive and really really take off. the oxygen of community redevelopment is financing

new york city's i.d. program becoming much more popular than expected. city officials say more than 260,000 appointments were made in the first month the i.d.s became available. if for those who don't have a government issued i.d. including an estimated 500,000 immigrants in the city. the benefits include discounts for prescription drugs, access to city buildings and free membership to zoos and museums.

more than 30,000 people have already received their cards. eric. just concluded cpac gathering, republican headliners focused a lot of their criticism on one person. hillary clinton. honing in on the former secretary of state's fundraising issues some of those big money donors and their speaking fees. democrats say those attacks won't go anywhere. are they right? susan estridge, professor of law and political science joins us. she's from usc and fox news contributor. so susan in the cpac, hillary clinton was a pinata. bang bang bang. >> it really was wasn't it? they'll get a little traction inside. if you can win one of these straw polls -- and i've done a dozen of them. if you can win one, you can then sometimes get your organizers more enthusiastic. you reach out to your fundraisers and you say, look, let's use this. let's pull it. let's do a page on the internet. that sort of thing.

but straw polls don't decide elections. and if there is one woman in america who has been criticized from every angle possible and it's still standing quite tall, it's hillary clinton. so i think the republicans had some fun today. i think there is some fun speeches, but i don't think much happened that will matter in the long run. >> they say one of the things that could grab out of people, the foreign fundraising like algeria, giving many bucks to the clintons. in the long run, do you think that will matter? >> no. you know i taught election law on campaign finance reform for 20 years and i tried and tried and tried year after year after year to make campaign finance reform, money in politics and ethics a voting issue, an issue people were willing to vote about. and i'll be very honest, we consistently failed. it turns into a one-day story. the assumption of the american

people fairly on unfairly tends to be both sides are doing it somehow the same way, playing the same game with the same money trap. if anybody should be mad it should be those of us who don't get invited to these parties. but i don't think they're going to turn that into a voting issue. it's never been one in the past. >> you said that you've handled these before. you've run these type of straw polls before. what's the secret? first question before that, rand paul won for the third time, but the headline could really be scott walker. do you think walker could potentially really prove to be a meaningful opponent to the democrats, 'cause now he won the iowa caucus, now he came in number two here. he's been punching through it seems. >> they were all punching through a little. the way i watched it, and i talked to a few republicans afterwards, what it seemed to convince most people was that the republicans have one candidate right now and that's jeb bush. and these little victories with

50 people standing around i think the republican establishment has got to look long and hard. you got rand paul winning the straw poll, but rand paul is not going to be elected president of the united states, according to every republican i've ever spoken to. so the challenge right now is who is going to be the unbush? who is going to be the anti-bush candidate? that's what i think they're really fighting for. >> even though bush came in fifth? >> he didn't even bother to go? remember his father lost the iowa caucuses many years ago. no, he doesn't -- if he doesn't win, it's a defeat for him. if he wins, he's spending a lot of money on nothing. how do you win straw polls? -- >> he was boo'd and caused a lot of criticism. but you have a good point there. it seems that the unbush perhaps is where this race is heading. susan estridge, we thank you for your insight. >> sorry to interrupt you.

>> that's okay. don't forget you can read susan estridge's syndicated column in newspapers every wednesday and friday. 600,000 americans die of heart disease every year. it's the number one cause of death in the country. we're going to take a look at new studies and how you can reduce your risk of a heart attack. that's up next.

of construction and erupt your plaque. and this can result in a heart attack. and that is going to be angry. and that is a bit of arrangement >> and that means clenching your fist. and losing control. and it would be the reason why. we have the and that is a response and that's why we are looking at the two hours after. and that is why younger women are at risk of heart attack. these are dangerous misconceptions and they can be

wrong. it is 50,000 people who had a heart attack. we seem to think that heart attacks have crushing chest pain and pressure. and they seem to have symptoms such as nausea and pain in your arm or nausea. and so if you think you are are having a heart attack. what do you do? you call 911? >> the sooner you get help, the better it is for you. and more likely you will survive. women delay getting care and that is a key issue of why they have a higher risk of dying. >> and you talk about women and you pointed out the symptoms but what with the a- typical experiences? >> crushing pains and for some

reason they have more fatigue and nausea and when they happen people with risk factors. like the back of their hands. and those include high blood pressure and smoking and being over weight. and you say social security number. and you need to know your risk factors like you know them. >> i beg your pardon. >> and you have to prevent having a heart attack. you want to be in a healthy wealth and county want to smoke. you want to decrease your stress. and that is because it is in february and we put so much emphasis and knowing the factors
