1:08 pm
department. schweizer repeated the claim on fox news sunday today. >> my answer is that's extremely troubling, especially the fact that you find it's a very extensive pattern. this is not one or two examples. 11 instances. one or two examples it's coincidence. when you have this many to me it's a trend. >> there's no proof of a quid pro quo or bribery. clinton supporters say the former first couple took great pains to keep the foundation his speech making and her role as secretary of state scrupulously transparent. >> i can delltell you that bill clinton has nothing to do and religious has a wall between himself and secretary clinton as secretary of state. >> in a statement today, the clinton foundation said since secretary clinton decided to run for president, it is disclosing

1:14 pm
time now for a quick check of the headlines. somber ceremonies across europe
1:15 pm
marking the liberation of three nazi concentration camps including the one seen here in germany. families and officials remembering the atrocities and reflecting on how humanity could overcome such a dark chapter in history. new isis-related threats prompting officials to bolster security in los angeles and airports in the area. the terror warnings include possible attacks on uniformed personnel. and the battle over same-sex marriage goes back to the supreme court tuesday. the justices will hear arguments on whether states can prevent gay couples from marrying who also debate whether states must recognize marriages performed in other states. republicans are gathering this weekend, both in iowa and in las vegas. declaring candidates and important ones using the events to try to woo the critical rank
1:16 pm
and file. this is contenders in the growing field. they seem to try to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack. >> the single leading cause of poverty in america is the destruction and breakdown of american families and the institutions that support them like the churches and synagogues and voluntary community groups. >> how in the hell are we supposed to run iran on a nuclear deal when they're sending weapons to the houtis. >> is there a front runner? john there's one great clip of scott walker walks into an iowa small group and says guess what. when i was a kid i lived in iowa for a few years. is that what you need to do to distinguish yourself and break through the growing pack? >> everyone loves aweuthenticity in candidates now. everyone wants a personal connection now, especially in an early state like iowa and new hampshire and meet them.
1:17 pm
so scott walker having grown up for several years as a child in iowa that's not being a native but that's close. >> and how does the whole race shape up? take a look at the most recent fox news poll. rubio has been making a lot of waves. he's now at 13%. followed by walker and then rand paul and jeb bush at 9%. huckabee and cruz way down there at 8%. why do you think ted cruz isn't doing a bit better and struck by the poll of tea party members who have cruz at 10% while the lead is walker at 19%. >> well, first of all, these polls all have a margin of error of 5% plus or minus. you don't want to read too much into them. but i would say that the tea party is not monolithic. the tea party loves ted cruz's rhetoric but been a senator and blocked from doing a lot of things, especially when harry reid ran the senate.
1:18 pm
scott walker is a governor. he won election in a state three times. and there are other candidates bidding for the tea party vote. bobby jindal and others. so it's a divided field and take months the sort this out. while activists in iowa and new hampshire paying attention, most republicans wait for the show to come to them. >> what happens if it does take you know as it do say, it takes months to play out. will the numbers change or since you have more of evangelicals in iowa and could skew the numbers somewhat? and here's the other ise, you don't have to get that much to be the lead. >> i think there are two primaries. one is going to be for candidate that's more or less an establishment washington supported candidate and one that's going to be for nonestablishment nonwashington candidate, especially the governors. right now i would say the front-runner for the establishment spot is jeb bush although being challenged by
1:19 pm
marrow rubio. and for the nonestablishment it's scot walker with marco rubio straddling both things and i think scott walker in the lead and we have to sort out the two primaries first early in the year and then probably one against the other. and that will be the real contest. >> right now you talk about jeb bush as the presumptive front-runner but the polls don't show that. let's take a look at what dan balls in "the washington post" says today. the former florida governor is still the biggest name in the gop field with the fund raising network unmatched by any of the others but bush's considerable assets have done little to reshape the early polls or keep other contenders out of the race. if anything that's the opposite. why would that be and can bush reclaim the official lead or doesn't it matter this early in the race? >> he is a good candidate and shows that in the past in florida. in the end, you don't have to win a majority of the republican primary voters.
1:20 pm
that's how we got john mccain in 2008 with a third of the republicans supporting him. mitt romney never got a majority of republicans to support him. jeb bush keeping his name i.d. and he keeps his money and ishis powder dry, he can win the primary. he goes with one of the nonestablishment candidates who won't have as much money and this is a long drawn-out siege. so bush can win. but bush's main problem is his name. people don't want to go back to the bush years. they think they've already closed the chapter on that and there was disappointment in the bush presidency among many republicans. >> who right now on this date who do you have your money on or who would you look at? >> again, i think jeb bush is the leader in the establishment primary and then a separate primary nonwashington people scott walker still has the edge.
1:21 pm
remember he's going to be very competitive in iowa. and i think he's going to be competitive throughout the midwest because he's a regional favorite there. >> all right. i won't hold you to it because it's eastern daylight time. thank you. good to see you as always. opening statements are scheduled to get under way tomorrow in the trial of an admitted killer opening fire in a crowded movie theater nearly three years ago. james holmes is facing nearly a dozen murder charges. the massacre also injured 70 people as they sat enjoying a midnight show. a crime so brutal say prosecutors that they will ask jurors for nothing less than the death penalty. >> reporter: the 19 women and 5 men who will hear the case of admitted aurora theater shooter james holmes were chosen from 9,000 summons, believed the
1:22 pm
largest in u.s. history. witnesses say the former student walked into the midnight showing of "a dark knight rises" and began shooting nearly three years ago. the district attorney rejected a plea offer saying justice is death. here's a breakdown of the jurors to decide. at least ten say they have connection to mental illness in some way. they have suffered from it are related to someone who does or worked in the profession. there are folks who served in the military as well as some with law enforcement associations. two have a direct connection to the columbine massacre. juror number 535 in the 50s, once married to a plir and ended up in a psychiatric ward after her divorce. her niece was alsz inside the cafeteria at columbine high school when there was a rampage killing 12 students and a teacher. juror 737 is a survivor of columbine and underwent extensive there ter after ward
1:23 pm
and a wave of doubt and considers himself an expert juror. of note holmes appearance evolved since images like this unshaven and out of it. court observers say he is now shaven with a hair cut and more engaged with his attorneys. the attorneys insist he was in the middle of a psychotic episode and is not guilty under reason of insanity. the prosecution must convince the jury that he was sane. well the death toll sadly continues to climb from the mass massive earthquake in nepal. scenes of devastation and destruction as teams race to try and save frightened survivors and those still missing. but they warn the threat that's dangerous is far from over. >> we are outside at the place and suddenly i heard a very big noise. it was horrible because we just
1:24 pm
see all around us these houses full of people.
1:25 pm
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 with b vitamins. one a day 50+

1:29 pm
ward ready and you know the clock is ticking. the new royal kid, well he or she could come at any moment. a powerful aftershock rocking nepal. at least 2,000 people now confirmed killed since the first 7.8 magnitude quake struck early saturday morning. earthquake experts say nepal quake a nightmare waiting to happen given the seismic activity and shoddy infrastructure. joining me now is dr. robert graves a research seismologist for the u.s. geological survey. good to have you here doctor. >> thank you. >> first tell me -- >> good to be here. >> absolutely. that is important story. why is nepal so prone to earthquakes? and why was this one so devastating? i understand this was the worst-hit nepal since 1984 and at that time killed about 8,500 people. >> yes. the earthquake in 1934 was about
1:30 pm
a magnitude 8. the earthquake the other day 7.8. very devastating. the region is prone to large earthquakes like this. they have happened in the past and they will likely continue to happen as we move forward. they're a result of the indian subcontinental basically colliding with asia. that's created the himalayan mountains, the tallest mountain range on earth. >> and, you know i understand last i read there have been 12 aftershocks so far there. one 6.6 magnitude. how long will these aftershocks last? and how strong will they continue to be? >> yes. the aftershocks we call them aftershocks. they're earthquakes in and of themselves and can be damaging. they will continue for weeks and months. an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 can generate aftershocks even up
1:31 pm
to a year later. they will diminish in frequency and also diminish in magnitude, usually over the next couple months. we would expect the largest aftershocks to occur, you know within a month or two after the main shock. >> that's a long time for those people there already suffering. is it that the bigger earthquakes trigger other bigger earthquakes? >> well yes. it's been recognized for some time that earthquakes or faults don't act independently. faults are interconnected. they behave as a system a physical system. and so certainly, an earthquake on one fault can promote other nearby faults to be closer to failure or they may actually move further away from failure. but in that sense, all earthquakes are related. we can see clustering of large earthquakes. it's happened in other parts of
1:32 pm
the world in the past. you know as with most natural systems, things don't occur on a steady regular time scale. it would be nice if they did and much easier to predict and prepare for them. that's just not the case with earthquakes. >> and you have the shifting of those tectonic plaets. how does that cause the avalanche? >> the avalanche was caused as a result of the ground shaking. so obviously, the ground shook because of the earthquake. when the fault ruptures it emanates or radiates seismic waves. they propagate away from the fault. it's you know in that region obviously, you have steep mountain slopes. a lot of snow pack. the ground shaking, anything that is kind of in an unstable state that snow pack can come down. obviously, in this case with
1:33 pm
catastrophic consequences. >> and of course you can't control mother nature but can you and your colleagues learn from such an earthquake like this one? >> oh absolutely. you know, each earthquake gives us additional data, additional understanding. the study of earthquakes is a very incremental science. you know? we can't create them in the lab. we do create them on a computer. but each large earthquake like this tells us new things about how the earth operates. it also reinforces things that is -- are widely recognized. for example, a lot of the terrible devastation and destruction in nepal is a result of non earthquake resistant construction. this is not something that is new but unfortunately in that part of the world there are just not the resources economically to enforce strong building
1:34 pm
codes. many of the other areas of the world do have strong building codes enforced such as california. >> which i was going to ask you. god forbid dr. graves that if that big one that everybody has been predicting your colleagues that big earthquake to make the way to california los angeles, san francisco, where, maybe there would not be as much damage as we're seeing in the nepal situation because there's better infrastructure. or am i wrong? >> well it's -- i wouldn't say you're wrong but clearly there would be great devastation. an earthquake of this magnitude in california or any other populated even pop latted part of the world would cause great damage. we are better off, say, in california los angeles, san francisco, because of the building codes. but we have a huge infrastructure that is dependent on pipelines and transportation
1:35 pm
corridors. southern california gets most of its water and electricity and gas from other parts of the country. so an earthquake that would disrupt those services could have a lasting impact. buildings may survive but people still need to live. they need to work provide su ste nans to their families and so there's many aspects that can create a catastrophe and we have to be prepared and fortunately being proactive i think we will be able to handle this as long as we take the steps now before the earthquake happens instead of waiting until after it happens. >> good points you make there, dr. graves. thank you so much for joining us. >> ow. thank you very much for having me on. >> absolutely. it's a huge, unforgettable achievement in your life to make your major league baseball debut. that wasn't the end of the story for this st. louis cardinal.

history being made on the mound this weekend for the first time in nearly 100 years a graduate from the united states naval academy pitched in a major league baseball game. that honor going to st. louis cardinals pitcher mitch harris. harris began the season in aaa. before that crisscrossing the world's oceans with the navy. harris pitched a 1 1/3 innings on saturday giving up two hits
1:41 pm
two walks and recording 1 strikeout. not bad for a major league debut. >> go mitch! experts say if you're looking to get away consider going to europe. trip adviser is crunching the numbers and saying the rates for some plummeted. the cost of hotels and plane tickets fallen by 11% since last summer. and they say some places like athens istanbul and paris down 17%. ben shlappen is founder of one mile at a time. about time you hear about europe and they say it's been so expensive. can we really save? >> yeah right now the euro is at a 12-year low in relation to the dollar so there's really never been a better time to travel to europe. not only are flights cheaper, hotels are cheaper, as well. you pay a lot less all around. >> what's the best thing to do? how can you know you can get the
1:42 pm
deals and how far in advance should you reserve? is there a secret formula? >> most people assume you have to book a year in advance. there's great last-minute opportunities so if you're looking, for example, to redeem miles, a lot of airlines make award seats available last minute and seats that they otherwise wouldn't be able to fill and not unusual to see a bunch of last-minute award seats to redeem your miles to europe a couple of months out. >> what should you do? hunt and peck on the internet and the websites? >> you should. another thing that's quite popular right now absolutely is in summer a lot of economy travelers and not a lot of business travel and airlines have great fare sales for travel in business class. you have to think traveling to europe maybe $1,000 or $1,200 for economy. right now there's fare sales paying $1,500 for business class to europe this summer. so for example, there's a french airline called la company
1:43 pm
and between new york and paris, $1,500 for business class this summer and a bit more than economy. >> wow. i'm in the rear with the gear. i'm down in baggage. who are the new airlines that are like popping up with the cheaper fares? >> yes. so kind of airlines are making money for the first time in a long time. so wow air is an icelandic airline and you can fly them from boston or washington either just to iceland for about $100 one way or otherwise for as little as $200 one way from washington or boston to iceland and then connect onwards to europe and $200 to $400 round trip for travel on one air and they charge you for everything so they have a lot of fees so you'll pay to assign a seat baggage. you'll pay for food even. something to be aware of. >> got that angle. you got a low fare and then as you say charge for other things. but if you had, i don't know say you put aside a little bit
1:44 pm
of money to spend on a trip. where would you suggest you go and how would you get there and where would you stay? >> most americans want to go to paris or london or rome and there are cities much more charming and cheaper and not as crowded. prague is gorgeous. lisbon going to portugal. budapest. athens. istanbul istanbul. get you much more value than in the big european cities and i think they're much more charming because they're not as overrun with tourists. >> former eastern european cities are spectacular and i've never really been. >> prague is one of the most gorgeous cities in the world in my opinion. it wasn't as nearly overcrowded as you experience in london in paris. >> i take that back. i was in prague and just -- i tell you, a lot of americans. great music there. and you're right. i mean it wasn't that expensive. a lot of americans were there. that's -- that was fine. i was thankful of that because it showed that we are some of us
1:45 pm
are traveling again. >> exactly. so they do still cater to tourists. there are englishmen yous and charming to be in one of the not so popular cities. >> do you think this is going to last? >> i mean, we'll see where the euro goes but i think as of now it's looking good. airlines are cutting capacity largely to europe and asia because of the strong dollar and fewer people traveling to the u.s. right now so there will be some capacity cuts and the values are unbaetdible. >> all right. so that means try if you want try now. >> that means book as soon as you can. credit card reward points are a great way to get there. hotel credit cards to give you free nights basically applying for the card and spending bit of money. hyatt with a credit card and spending a bit of money in three nights you get two free nights at any hyatt property in the
1:46 pm
world. including in paris which is usually $1,000 a night. >> thank you so much for your advice today. >> thanks for having me. >> i like the recommendations. lisbon budapest love them all. >> off the beaten track a bit. >> okay. well a record-breaking week for wall street but despite the gains we ask our senior business correspondent why so many americans just are not reaping the benefits. plus this. >> not many men could do what you did. >> don't miss an all-new edition of fox's hit series "legend and lies." the real west starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern here on the fox news channel. it is a terrific series. check it out. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city.
1:47 pm
you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. 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. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back.

a huge week for stocks. the nasdaq surpassed its-all-time closing record for the first nim 15 years. the s&p 500 also breaking through its previous high. stocks are surging, but not everyone is benefitting from this. more americans are out of the market than in it. brenda buttner is the anchor of "bulls and bears."
1:51 pm
hi brenda. >> how are you? >> i'm well. break it down. you're saying more than half americans are not investing in the stock market. who's not in and why? >> it's very interesting, because basically bottom line mom and pop investor are not on wall street. 52% of americans are not in the market. it's interesting the reasons why. it's not because they don't trust stockbrokers or because stocks seem so risky even though we are just nine years past the big bubble of the housing market bursting. it's because they don't have any money. 45% of all working-age households have no money to save for retirement. you're it retirement money people put into the stock market because it can give you a good return over time. they just don't have the money. >> people know their pocketbooks and their balances in their check books better than we do.
1:52 pm
how do you know if you should be in the market? maybe you do have enough money to pop in there. >> well there are a couple of things. i won't tell you what a stockbroker will say. i will say this. number one, test. can you sleep at night? if you have money in the stock market. for a lot of people that's not possible unless stocks seem like they're just going up up up. over time they do. it's time not timing that matters. secondly if you have a 401(k) that's offered at work you should be investing in the stock market. you should have money in that because we likely can't depend on social security and corporate pensions are going away, as well. we have to depend on ourselves. as i said over time stocks consistently outperform all financial instruments -- >> over time. >> exactly. if you have a high schooler who is going to go to college in two years, your money should not be in the stock market. i'd say unless you have about
1:53 pm
ten years, you should not be putting money into stocks. >> that's good advice what about those who are in the stock market? what about record highs we are seeing? >> it's interesting. we had the big housing market bubble pop in 2008. then one of the longest bull markets in history started in 2009. the s&p 500, which is in most people's retirement plans in their 401(k)s is up 200% in the last eight years. but so many retail investors are not investing in the stock market. it's companies who are buying back their shares and a lot of hedge fund managers and people who did have more money than the middle class. >> sometimes when it gets that high there is that correction. are we about to do that? >> usually it's when the retail investors -- they come late to the party. when they're jumping because they want to get those returns,
1:54 pm
that's when the market starts going down. >> that is a good point. miss brenda buttner always good to see you. it's legends. they had it wrong on the computer. i knew it was legends and lies. o'reilly is not coming to get me. he is the producer of this. >> it's really is great. >> it really is. the way this man is where his books and everything he lays the history, the historical facts out there. >> it's the wild west. we love it. i'm right with you. >> i made my good peace? >> you made it. >> thank you. >> thank you. great american stories there. now for this. seaworld trainer barbie. did you know there was one? she is out of a job. mattel will no longer make seaworld merchandise. not directly explain explaining why, but animal rights groups
1:55 pm
are praising the company for the move. in 2010 a trainer was killed by an orca whale. since then seaworld faced scrutiny over these issues. politicians, journalists and hoef weight heavyweights were flying. for a while the commander in chief was the comedian in chief. >> i feel more loose and relaxed than ever. those joe biden shoulder massages they're like magic. there's some facts about seaworld we'd like you to know. we don't collect killer whales from the wild. and haven't for 35 years. with the hightest standard of animal care in the world, our whales are healthy. they're thriving. i wouldn't work here if they weren't. and government research shows they live just as long as whales in the wild. caring for these whales, we have a great responsibility to get that right. and we take it very seriously. because we love them. and we know you love them too.
