6:00 am
thanks for coming to new york city today. >> have a great day today. we're going to play in the castle. thanks for watching bill: getting reports that a flight from dubai has a medical emergency on board and is diverting to the united kingdom. will it be life or death for dzhokhar tsarnaev. the same jury convicting the boston bomber on all 30 counts. martha: so the guilty verdicts were largely expected.
6:01 am
tsarnaev's attorneys admitted to the bombing. all attention turns to the penalty phase. some of those survives yesterday spoke out when the verdict came down. >> i don't know what justice is. i'm grateful to have him off the streets, i'm grateful to show everyone the world it's not tolerated. >> he need to be held accountable for his actions. i'm glad it's not going to happen. >> the penalty phase could be as long as the initial phase of this trial was. the defense expected to present mitigating factors things they think could help convince the jury to spare dzhokhar tsarnaev's life.
6:02 am
while admitting his involvement his defense team has consistently worked to put blame on dzhokhar's older brother tamerlan. the prosecutors argued the death penalty is justified based on a series of aggravating factors. including one of the victims killed was particularly vulnerable. that's would be the 8-year-old who was killed when dzhokhar tsarnaev put the bomb right down behind him. just before he wrapped things up before the verdict he says possibly maybe sometime next week. bill: here is martha with more.
6:03 am
martha: if tsarnaev wants to avoid the death penalty he has the right attorney. her name is judith clark. she has a reputation for keeping her clients off death row. she helped spare the life of susan smith who was convicted of driving her minivan with her two young sons into the water and drowning them. jared locker -- lochner and also zach ryeall alsozacarias moussaoui.
6:04 am
bill: this cover of the ""boston herald"" said "evil did not win that day." a majority of those living in massachusetts do not support the death penalty. also talked to a "boston herald" reporter who covered the story every single day from the beginning two years ago. martha: we are awaiting a verdict in the murder trial of aaron hernandez. jurors will resume their deliberations today after spending 9 hours deliberating. we are learning more about the police officer caught on camera shooting an unarmed black man in the back. protesters demanded justice for
6:05 am
walter scott. the officer faces murder charges after firing after eight shots and killing mr. scott. it was picked up on a witness's video. there is an effort independentway to cool the tensions that have arising. the city is ordering all officers to wear body cameras. >> we are doing our best as a city and a police department. >> no justice is! >> no peace! >> this has been a horrible tragedy within our community. there have been two families that have been harmed greatly by
6:06 am
what occurred, both the victims and the officers' family. >> reporter: as far as what happened in the community things very calm, not a protester in sight. it really was very quiet. if the reason for that is the committee is taking a wait and see attitude. they turn the investigation over to an independent agency. the south carolina law enforcement division even though they didn't have to do it. officer slager was immediately charged and then fired. in a press conference he minced
6:07 am
no word telling the community how he felt about this. >> the the honesty comes from my heart. >> reporter: what do we know about slager? he worked as a waiter then joined the coast guard. he was part of a boarding team. he did port security, then joined the north charleston police force. his record fairly clean. there was a complaint of use of force after he tasered an individual and wrestles him to the ground. he's proficient with a taser and passed all his coast guard
6:08 am
recommendations. martha: how is the family holding up? >> reporter: the mayor described them as upstanding members of the community here in south charleston. they are taking hole has in the -- they are taking solace in the fact the wheels of justice do appear to be turning. >> we'll be there to support them for if the funeral with a police escort to make sure we get them moved properly and give them the it most respect and the respect that the yeah that is deceased deserves. >> reporter: officer slager's wife is 8 months pregnant. he was fired from the force. but the mayor said they would continue to provide her with health insurance until the baby is born. there is more video not only
6:09 am
from the fella who shot the cell phone video but also from the dash cam video from officer slager's car. martha: a nightmare situation. it looks like it's being handled as well as it could possibly be handled. thank you so much. >> getting new developments on this growing shadow war against the u.s. and iran. the president warning saudi arabia to stop its airstrikes in yemen. how are we to read that comment john. >> when you first hear it it sound like a veiled threat. but that may not necessarily be the case. instead iran's president is saying there should be diplomatic talks instead. iranian president rouhani called for the saudi-led coalition
6:10 am
airstrikes to be halted. to stop immediately and for a ceasefire to begin in order to start the diplomatic negotiations and violence. but secretary of state john kerry warned iran about its involvement in yemen's civil war. we found out iran dispatched two naval vessels including a navy destroyer off the yemen coast. iran says to protect the shipping lanes from piracy, but remember iran has been backing the houthi rebels. iran denies that but it's clearly the case. so iran's so-called protection is adding to the tension. bill: the region is sunni to the west shi -- and shiia to the east.
6:11 am
when you look at the strait of hormuz it's talked about as a choke point. if you look at this gap between yemen and the east coast of africa. both are choke points and the long common border yemen shares with saudi arabia, you can see so much turmoil whether in syria or iraq and now yemen they have one common thread and that's the support of iran on the warships that have been parked off the coast of yemen. the defense minister in iran tweeted muslims should fight israel not each other. you can imagine benjamin netanyahu will have a comment about that as well.
6:12 am
martha: tell that to the seas and sunnis who have been divided for centuries and centuries. so meantime there are new questions about weather the nuclear deal with iran will happen at this point. there are new demands iran is making. >> the iranians are showing they are all over the place. they have been emboldened and they are feeling their oats. martha: will we give in on that as well? >> your premise in your question is mistaken. calm down a bit her kelly. bill: rand paul likes a good debate. that one from february. now he's getting a lot of attention from a recent
6:13 am
interview from nbc. was he being fairly questioned or should he just deal with it. martha: storms tearing through much of the nation. 0 million in the controls hairs of this one. >> reporter: ever see anything like it? >> no. know your financial plan won't keep

6:16 am
6:17 am
bill: the u.s. and iran apparently not on the same page when it comes to the agreement. the iranian president said we'll not sign any deal unless all sanctions are lifted on the same day. iran has been and will be the victor in the negotiations. senator john barrasso is with us. square that. we are talking two different languages. >> we know the world is less safe if iran has a nuclear weapon. i'm most concerned about the security of the united states. that's why the senate will be voting on the sanctions. the foreign relations committee has threatened to veto. but sign and agree to any deal we want to make sure we have a
6:18 am
chance to review it. people don't know what's in this agreement. the president initially said he was going to put an end to the program. all of those things will continue in iran and i just think we cannot approve this and relief sanctions which is what iran wants. bill: what congress is about to embark on is separate and different from what the president is negotiating with the iranians. correct? do you have 67 votes in the u.s. senate hat ultimately at some point may be necessary if you disagree with the deal to override a presidential veto? >> we are work on that. we know we have close to a dozen democrats. senator on both side of the aisle want to make sure if there is a deal that it protects the american people and protected
6:19 am
the world from iran. but it's all about the money for iran. it's tens of billions of dollars. bill: do you have the 67 votes today? >> i don't know that we do. we are one or two votes away. the white house is working to prevent it from happening. they are saying they will veto. >> we want to review the deal. we'll get it through the senate and get it to the president's desk. previously the president threatened to veto legislation even putting the sanctions place. we passed a it in the senate 100-0. he went kicking and screaming to apply the sanctions. >> i tell you what. it appears there will be some sort of deal. i don't know if it's june or july or 6 months from now.
6:20 am
i don't know if it will be a deal you like. but it appears there will be something that will be signed. would you agree with that. that is the problem. even the framework we see now falls far short of what the president promised he would look for. it doesn't stop the iranian's ability to have a nuclear weapon. it on delays this. i think that's a very risky situation for the world including the united states when they continue to yell, death to america. bill: i don't see anything that's been talked about that says the united states will demand snap inspects. that's not in the deal. why would you agree to something. if you are watching by
6:21 am
satellite, some movement on the ground with iran and you are obstructed from accessing that site. it takes a week or a month that may take months or a year down the road. why would you accept a deal that does not give you that versatility? >> i wouldn't accept that deal. i want anywhere, any time inspects not have to make an appointment to do this inspection. we need this enforceable and verifiable. bill: senator thank you more to talk about real soon. martha: new reports president obama will talk to another long-term enemy of the united states. the president could meet with raoul castro. >> there is a swarm of bees. at first it wasn't sitting.
6:22 am
it was kind of like a tornado of bees in the street and eventually they sat and clustered on the back of the motorcycle.
6:23 am
6:24 am
6:25 am
bill: officers make an arrest with a swarm of honey bees. >> i gently scooped them in clumps. it was like a beard hanging off the end of the motorcycle. martha: president obama traveling to panama where he's
6:26 am
expected to have a face-to-face meeting with raoul castro. kevin cork is traveling with the president live in panama city panama. what behind this push to remove cuba from the terror list. the obama doctrine, this idea engaging former adversary and turning pariahs into partners is something they take seriously at the white house. the trips to jamaica and then here in panama, this is on many levels all about cuba. can they be removed from the lift of the sponsors of terror. the white house can't broadly make this happen.
6:27 am
it's a process that keeps on going. >> i'm not going make any news on the status of that ongoing review by the administration. but reviewing their inclusion on the list is a natural part of taking the kind of steps the president believes is in the best interests of the united states. >> reporter: the white house is hoping have much that this process can wind up and we may find out as soon as the president's visit here if that has taken place martha. martha: that will get a lot of attention and pushback from capitol hill. >> reporter: pushback. you could see you it's a grab the lapel and shove back. take a look at what bob menendez is saying about this notion of perhaps removing cuba from the list of state sponsors of terror. he says it would represent
6:28 am
another significant misstep in a misguided policy. it's both discouraging and alarming to read about unwarranted pressure the white house to rush the state department's review process. there are a lot of people who are incredibly emotional about this issue. you heard marco rubio talk about this. this will get a lot of attention as the president tries to push forward this notion of the obama doctrine. martha: bob menendez has not been shy about is view of the administration's policies. bill: just a day into his presidential bid rand paul making headlines. critics asking whether he has an issue with reporters or whether he just likes a good old debate.
6:29 am
martha: storms ripping through the country's middle section with hail. if that hits huh on the head or hits your car it will do to damage. >> everybody on the bus was screaming out loud. i was look toward there. i was like freaking. everything was going around in circles. i saw a cloud going down in circles. i started getting down real low and started tucking my head and stuff. my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief
6:30 am
6:31 am
6:32 am
bill: there is more dangerous weather expected in the plains and the midwest expected today. first was hail the size of a tennis ball smashed wind shields. reports of twisters touching
6:33 am
down and tornado with warnings of more severe weather again today. one weather chaser record this funnel cloud near medicine lodge. another reported near garden plain. hailstorms battering parts of st. louis. this is belgrade where roofs were blown off and trees and power lines were taken down. >> i can hear the hail popping and i looked out and went back to the bathroom and it was horrible. i couldn't wait for to it get done with. it was started again. so i looked out and thought oh, my lord. bill: forecasters predicting more hail and damaging wind. so heads up today. martha: senator rand paul off to
6:34 am
a contentious start. >> you once said iran was not a threat, now, you say the is. you once proposed ending form aid to israel you now support it at least for the time being and you once want to cut defense spending now, you want to increase it 60%. >> why don't you let me explain instead talk over me. before we go through a litany of the things you changed on. why don't you ask me a question. >> is iran still not a threat. >> no, no, no, no, you edearlyearly -- you edearlyearlyearlyed -- you editorialized. why don't you ask me aquestion instead of saying my views
6:35 am
changed. let's go back. your precipitation and question is mistaken. let me finish that. kelly, shh. calm down a bit here kelly. martha: so the second sound bite was before he declared he was running for president. wet other thing happened on the "today show" it reminded people of what happened prior to that. the kentucky senator trying to explain his relationship with the media to megyn kelly. >> it's difficult in those contentious isn't it views. it doesn't make for good tv orpr on both sides. i do lose my cool and i lost my temper sometimes and i should be better at that. martha: doug schoen and monica crowley. what have we learned so far
6:36 am
about rarnld paul? >> as a conservative i shared his frustration. i think there are two important points. one positive and one negative in how he's dealing with the press so far. it's to the benefit of any republican candidate to attack the press. it rallies the base because they all hate the left-wing press too. it makes him look fearless. the base likes that. so it does work to his advantage. the problem is that the general electorate is also watching this and watching him. what they would like to see out of any presidential candidate is presidential go meaner and presidential -- presidential demeanor. martha: ways your reaction? >> i watched the interview.
6:37 am
my reaction was rand paul was stepping on his own story by interrupting. the "today show" is not a hot bed radicalism nor is cnbc. my take is it was counter productive. i work with candidates. i say answer the question, turn it to your advantage. don't attack the press. monica is right. there is no sympathy on the right with the left-wing media. but if you don't get your message out ... martha: it ends up this what else we are talking about and it's not necessarily what you want to talk about. but before we leave that aside. demeanor is the word you just touched on. he can be arrogant and prickly and testy. a lot of people can. does that matter? do we need a president who is watch the interview awe and you don't
6:38 am
remember a thing he said? >> i think most voters want a fighter. they want somebody who will fight for the constitution, fight for the rule of law fight to restore the america that's been large are you destroyed by the current president. it will be up to each individual candidate to show how they are going to wage that fight. i don't buy the sexist charge. i think he gets frustrated when he's dealing with the press. martha: he claims he snatched back at men and women which is true as well. i want to play a piece of sound from him when he was asked about foreign policy and how he sees the situation with isis and the middle east. this is the serious stuff we need to be talking about when it comes to these candidates. watch this. >> i want to see battalions where thousands of saudi
6:39 am
arabians are marching. the saudi arainans have been a big part of this problem. i think the qataris need object fighting on the fronts line. the kuwaitis and the turks need to be at the front line. >> we want our allies in the region to join us. the saudis are leading in the the fight. i think there is a larger point here. we don't want a president who lectures people whether it be the press pore foreign leaders. rand paul has a compelling anti-washington bent. we only had rand paul lecturing and attack which in my judgment is not helpful. >> it has to be done by every
6:40 am
republican candidate. it works for them with the gop base. by the has to be used judiciously. martha: you have to get people on your side when you do it. you have to get them on your side when you are going on attack which is a tricky line to walk. thanks very much. great to see you both. bill: 0 minutes before the -- 20 minutes before the hour. a school bus crashing. bill: a poll shows americans think taxes are high and the government is the problem. @e8ñúñ÷@@@0@ú

martha: the masters teeing off in georgia. tiger woods playing an extra special round. his two children came and they

were caddies and there is lindsey vonn. but guess month stole the show? good ole jack nicklaus. he shows he still has it. watch this. >> here is jack. >> what a beautiful play. come on, jack. yes! martha: oh, my gosh. that's the best thing ever. a hole in one in a par 3 contest. he's 75, which is a pretty good age when you are jack nicklaus. bill: it went in ... oops! it was great to see the kid out
6:45 am
there in their caddie uniforms. a cool event to see. the masters is underway. just so you know. martha: tiger woods is playing. bill: he's back. martha: we have been optimistic about how he's going perform and he's basically talking a big game. we'll see if he lives up to it. bill: the new fox poll showing a record number americans think they pay too much in taxes. 63 per se they are too high -- 63% say they are too high. you find that with democrats independent republicans and steve hayes. you looked into this. what do you find in terms of a trend in this poll? >> you have a record number of people saying their taxes are too high. people who say their taxes are about right probably don't pay
6:46 am
taxes. but it corresponds with a growing scepticism of the size and scope of the 2k3w069 generally in that same fox poll that you cite. there is i finding on whether government is the solution or the source of our problems. record high numbers for those as well. bill: wee when we asked what's fair fan what's unfair. 71 per said they believe the inheritance tax is unfair. what tax is the least fair? federal income tax 75%. social security, start sales and income tax. now you have these candidate week by week declaring they want to be the next president on the republican side now we hear rumblings from hillary clinton. who is best positioned on the
6:47 am
republican side to tackle the issues we just put on the screen. >> the benefits most likely to den fit are the ones talking about a complete overhaul of the irs. it's not just that people think they pay too inch taxes. it's also the findings come on the heels of these irs scandals which we still haven't gone the bottom of. somebody like a ted cruz is talking about getting rid of the irs or scott walker calling for comprehensive tax reform or rand palm saying he need additional restraint from the irs. bill: for hillary clinton what challenge is presented for her? >> she has challenges in terms of the rates of taxation and the size and scope of government question. hillary clinton is inheriting barack obama's activist government and she'll will have to develop it.
6:48 am
she is doing so at a time when faith in government is at all-time lows. even lower than the post-watergate years. the question is what does the party of government sell when americans are increasingly sceptical about the size and scope of government. >> we really don't know where we are going to be in 18, 20 months from now. >> the latest signs show the economy is growing. the increase might have been temporary and 2.2% economic growth is not the kind of growth obama wants. we'll seal if that continues. steve shays from washington today. thank you steve. good to have you back on our program. martha: there are new
6:49 am
developments in the case of the millionaire robert durst. bill: governor scott walker pushing back after criticism from the commander-in-chief. >> this is a guy who last year called isis the jv squad. 15-minute. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. they had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. 40% of the lights were out but they're not out for long. they're coming back. ♪ help brazil reduce its overall reliance

6:54 am
circumvented that process. that means durst will not be extra dated to california anytime soon to face a judge for the murder of his friend susan berman. remember the 71-year-old eccentric millionaire was arrested at this new orleans hotel. investigators found a gun and marijuana in his room along with $100,000 in cash, maps of cuba, a passport and an elaborate latex mask. he will be formally arraigned for the first time since being taken into custody. now it looks like we'll have a trial playing out in the big easy in the future. martha: they wanted to see which state had the stronger case against him because they want to keep him behind bars, these prosecutors do. what are his lawyers saying? >> the d.a.'s office in new

7:03 am
president obama considering he had very little foreign policy experience when he got the job. >> that's right, martha. if you're scott walker clearly in the top tier of gop candidates to be, this is a soft pal right down the middle. this is what you want to see. his original response the first time he responded to president obama was on a fund-raising email. and one can imagine he raised a lot of money from that. because, listen, he is clearly not somebody who has a lot of foreign policy experience. governor walker that is. he has a lot of domestic experience as wisconsin's governor. has gotten a lot of acclaim for that. and his tough stance there in wisconsin against the unions but, he is not somebody who has a lot of foreign policy experience. for the president to say what he said when the president himself is upside down in the polls on foreign policy it is kind of a gift for walker. martha: precarious territory for the president to walk on for sure.

7:05 am

7:16 am
work to make sure that the right outcome happened and i you know, i don't want to carry the anger and i don't want to be, i don't want to feel the anger that i think drove or drives people to do hateful things. so i want to put it behind me. martha: good for karen brassard. we hope she will. the defense attorney you see pictured here, judy clarke is a severe opponent of the death penalty. when you weigh the severity of the crime against the state's history how will this jury decide? we have the managing editor for "the boston herald" joining us and brian claypool, criminal defense attorney. glad to have you both here. >> hi, martha. martha: when you listen to the introduction you obviously are very familiar with the history of the death penalty in massachusetts, how do you think they will decide this case? joe, can you hear me okay? >> i'm sorry.
7:17 am
martha: yeah. >> i think they're going to, go back into it in the same gus stow that they did for this phase of the trial. it was swift. it was guilty on all counts and i think that's what they're going to do, taking it very seriously but as everyone is saying this ratchets it up. this is when it gets really serious. martha: joe, staying with you here for a moment, given massachusetts's history, do you think there is a reluctance, and when you look at the polls taken in boston 62% said they believe he should get life, not the death penalty. 27% said he should get the death penalty. is that the way you think this is going to go? >> it is surprising, you talk to people it is 50, 50. yes, massachusetts, they do not like the death penalty but this is a case the only one i can compare it to is 9/11. this is such a case that goes into the core and the roots of boston and as you have heard from the survivors, there are
7:18 am
some mixed eeggs ins, the death of a young boy, martin richard, eight years old, this is, this could be the case. it could be the one where they say, yes, to the death penalty. martha: yeah. i mean, you just have to ask yourself how those jurors will feel what is more cruel, dzhokhar said he was jealous of his brother because he was martyred and i wanted to be martyred. i wonder how that will weigh into the decision these jurors will make, around very interesting in this case, i want to bring in the attorney, brian claypool, there is a picture of the two brothers, tamerlan and dzhokhar tsarnaev. judy clarke is fascinating character. she succeeded getting people that committed heinous crimes off the death penalty. this is pictures of people she worked on. jared loughner. ted kaczynski, "the unabomber." susan smith who drowned her two children in a minivan in the
7:19 am
bomber. olympics bomber eric rudolph. speaking of 9/11, zacarias moussaoui considered the 20th hijacker got a life sentence. she is very successful in the past. how does she do it? >> she did it, because she gave up something during the trial like she did in the boston bombing trial. she scored points with the jury, especially in the boston bombing trial coming out saying he did this but it person deserves to live because he was influenced by his brother. so she actually gains credibility with the jury in the underlying trial. what she does, martha, is she sets up the death penalty phase in the case in chief. and that is what she is really, really good at. martha: she goes very much into the person's history in spaining how they might have gotten to this point. at one point she said, if it weren't for tamerlan, the older brother, none of this ever would have happened. how powerful an argument is that
7:20 am
for these jurors, brian? >> well, i think she has been successful in the past, martha, but i think her winning streak ends in this case. martha: you do? >> i absolutely believe that. i think there is going to be a death penalty verdict by this jury and i'll tell you why. this case is more than just about an attack on the citizens of boston. this was an assault on the moral fiber and a scourge on patriotism for every person in this entire country. so that's important, martha, because every juror on that panel is going to vote, has a stake in this case. martha: joe, give me a final thought on that, joe, in terms of what's more cruel, for him to rot in prison for the rest of his life and think about what he did, or to give him the death penalty? >> that's the question. i mean that's where this entire case is coming down to. if you look at the verdict yesterday they said guilty to both bombs. the one that he is accused of now convicted of setting off and his brother's. so this jury, they are wrestling
7:21 am
with that unbelievable question, the weight is on them. i don't i don't know where it is going to go. but i agree that this is the case. they're not, i don't think they are going to cut a deal. they're going straight to the death penalty phase. this jury has his fate in their hands. martha: boston strong. as they have said. and this is their final moment in this chapter in this trial. we'll see what happens next week. gentlemen, thank you so much. good to have you both here. >> thanks martha. bill: a shadow war heating up in the middle east now. iran and saudi arabia battling over yemen. where is the u.s. in this? and what each country has at stake and why it matters here at home. we'll look at that in a moment. martha: how about that? the nfl's first female referee speaking out about blazing a trail in the world of professional football. >> being involved as long as i've been involved they just really want you to do the job male or female, whatever it is. they just want you to do the job

the judge thinks during this case the government is guilty of deceiving the court. the states now, 26 in total say they are concerned about the strain on their budget. talked to the top law enforcement official in the state of texas. ken paxton, texas state attorney general with me now sir. welcome to "america's newsroom." >> thanks for having me on, i appreciate it. bill: the judge has a big issue because he believes the government has deceived him. he said this. the court expects all parties including the government of united states to act in a forthright manner and not hide behind deceptive representations and half-truths. what is the issue in plain language how he believes the government attorneys have deceived his courtroom? >> in this case both in court and in writing the justice department told us, told the judge, that they were not implementing the executive action of obama as it relates to this immigration issue.
7:27 am
and it turns out after we went through it process, that they came into court and admitted they had implemented this all the way back in november. bill: wow. what is the impact of said deception on the case then? if there is an impact legally? >> well, so we went in asking for preliminary injunction. if we had known they were already implementing we would have acted for temporary restraining order which would have gone into effect earlier prevented 100,000 people they implemented with, this would not have happened. so it changed the strategy of the case for us. obviously could essentially change the ruling for the judge how he rules. bill: so it affects 100,000 people. some are suggesting -- >> 100,000 people have now been implemented. we don't know about it and the judge didn't know about it. bill: we'll see how that plays out. not sure where that goes. back to the real legal issue does the executive branch of government have the authority to do what has happened with
7:28 am
immigrants in america? >> fundamentally that is our issue. not whether you agree with the philosophy of what the president is doing whether a good idea or bad idea, but fundamentally we don't believe that he has the authority. he does not have the authority under the countstution or -- constitution or federal law to actually go change law. he said it numerous times. he said it over a six-year period. i don't have the authority to change this. i'm not a king. this is up to congress. i can not wave a magic wand then november this, last year he came in and said i'm changing the law -- november 20th. bill: i know your position. the white house would argue it is lawful around legal and common sense policy and you would argue what? >> well, i mean, whether you like the policy or not he is not tweaking law. the law says that certain people, have to be deported n this case he is changed that to say they don't have to be deported and they get benefits, social security medicare, unemployment, earned income tax credits.

contributor. gillian, welcome. good to have you back today. >> thanks. martha: you've got a proxy war because the houthis are backed by iran, and saudi arabia does not want iran to have a far-reaching influence over the country of yemen which is all across their southern border there. so is this, you know, a larger proxy war that could draw us in as well? >> it's absolutely poised to become a spectacular proxy war between iran's shia and saudi arabia's sunni. you know, the national government of yemen collapsed in january and since that time chaos has reigned supreme inside the country. i fear that the most dangerous potential now is for other countries from across the middle east and central asia to try and insert themselves into this conflict so that eventually yemen's war bubbles up is and becomes a broader regional war. and that's a really worst case scenarioment. martha: all these hot spots across the middle east, jordan egypt damascus all these areas
