8:00 am
horrible. miraculously he was not seriously injured. that is two we have on this show. might have killed somebody else. police are investigating to find out who through a metal trash can down there. that was the dumb thing to do. >> frozen with salt. what about you? >> with lime. >> goodbye, everybody. >> we turned this hour, isis for the first time claiming responsibility for an attack in the united states and threatening more will be coming. hope you are off to a great days so far. john: the islamic state says it was behind a shooting your center near dallas. displaying cartoons depicting the profit mohammad, claiming the gunmen were, quote, two soldiers in the caliphate. at the same time as chairman of the house l.a. security committee tells fox news exclusively about enjoying fbi homeland security bulletin circulated in the days leading up to the attack.
8:01 am
as we learn about ties between one gunman and twitter handles linked to isis. jenna: back to arkansas where we are about to hear from former governor mike huckabee on his plans to join the 2016 presidential race. obviously that is not mike huckabee. he will be along shortly. john roberts is live in hope arkansas with the latest. >> mike huckabee expected out here in 35 minutes. tony orlando, you remember him, taking the stage. and role at the university of arkansas hope campus. 1600 people and indeed, hundreds more in the overflow room, he is helping to recapture the magic of 2008 when he won the iowa caucus, no question he faces more competition this time around from the social conservative that propelled him to victory but he is much better known in 2016 by virtue of his
8:02 am
radio show and program on the fox news channel. while he expects to fight for every vote at least he is not starting from scratch. >> i don't take it for granted but not like i'm starting out eight years ago when i had to introduce myself and spell my last needing to every single person i met. of i went to a pizza ranch i had to tell in three times 2 law was and why i was there and then i had to buy a pizza. >> the big challenge is going to be to broaden his appeal beyond social conservatives. the needs to do that if he hopes to win nt will spend the next nine months reaching out to other blocks of republican voters. eyewall obviously will be important 2016 but a bigger target for him, says rex nelson former mike huckabee staffer riding a politics law, will be the target of south carolina. >> you don't win i will you have to be in the top two or three you have to do better in new hampshire is a new did the last time and you have to go south
8:03 am
and in south carolina. as he won south carolina? last time around, he might have won the nomination. >> if you are trying to talk back to me i can't hear you because i lost the cellular connection but already the conservative club for growth action pack is taking a met mike huckabee $100,000 ad in iowa and south carolina complaining about his record of raising taxes in the state of arkansas so while a big celebration in hope, mike huckabee has some tough sliding ahead not just democrats and other republicans are targeting him. jenna: thank you very much. john: let's bring in karl rove senior deputy job of staff of george w. bush and fox news contributor and a man who can help us dissect the polls. john roberts had a good line. he said the question is will mike huckabee be able to recapture the magic of 2008? can he? >> it is going to be a challenge. the field is going to be twice
8:04 am
as large as it was in 2008. in iowa he won't be the only social conservative. was last time around in 2008 but he won't be the only person, rick santorum is likely to be in the race, ted cruz, scott walker, ben carson rand paul, all of them fighting for some element of the social conservatives. last time around in 2008 when he ran mike huckabee got 35% of very conservative self identified very conservative voters, same percentage rick santorum got in 2012. what is interesting to me is the challenge may not simply be from other people fighting in the social conservative space but the other candidates as well because in 2008 mike huckabee got 34% of the somewhat conservative, rick santorum got 19%. in 2008, mike huckabee got 22% of self identified moderates, 40% of women, 40% of those age
8:05 am
17 to 29. this time around with so many more candidates he will get squeezed on the social conservative side, other social conservatives and he could conceivably get squeezed on these other areas where he was able to do well in 2008 by candidates better able to occupy that space that he is right in his visit with john roberts, he is better known, doesn't need to spell his name has a folksy winning manner about him and will be applied since of the series contender at least in iowa if not beyond. >> whoever wins the republican primary they are likely to be going up against hillary clinton. let's take a look gets a recent wall street journal nbc news polling on those potential matchups. hillary clinton, bests all of the leading republicans, 49% to 43% of jeb bush and marco rubio, she beat scott walker by 34%, 50% to 40%, rand paul is running closest with mrs. clinton, 44%
8:06 am
to her 47%. does the addition of mike huckabee, to the gop field does it change those numbers at all? where does he stack up against her? >> what is interesting about this is with one exception hillary clinton is below 50%. cheese universally known. everybody has an opinion about her. she is very little to change opinion. there are things she can do that will augment the opinions of people already about her good or bad. he is well known. these other candidates are not as well-known. republican candidates are nowhere near as well well-known. of their name is known who they are and what they're about is not yet well known. it will be a tough race next year. for both sides. difficult for democrats to win a third term, difficult for a clinton to sort of say let's return to the 1990s. the republicans face democratic challenges. they have to do better among
8:07 am
women and latinos and african-americans and asian-americans and they need to have better among young people. will be tough for both sides. i take away from that poll that she is not in the great shape, she should be above 50%. the other thing that grabs my attention, i have the famous white board here, honest and trustworthy 25% said yes. that apply to hillary clinton. 50% said no. that was reflected -- in the last month alone as was said earlier negatives have risen from 36% to 42% and more importantly the very negative have risen from 23 to 32 so she has gone up nine on the negative side and six on the negative side and nine on a very negative site which means there's likely to be more movement. i would not be surprised and a month if we went back and see a wall street journal poll negative even higher than the current 42%. >> every election is different and mike huckabee is getting
8:08 am
involved in an electorate that is different from the one he faced in 2008. when asked republican voters what their top issues were, 27% said national security and terrorism. the deficit and government spending comes in second at 24% and economic growth at 21%. do those numbers surprise you? does it suggest that a candidate who is seen as prepared to handle national security and terrorism is going to be the best to win this republican primary? >> that is going to be important. we don't know year from now where the number will be, i suspect it will be up there but it is going to -- candidate who wins will have a balanced approach, they're going to have to touch all three of the elements, the international front, the economic front and the social front and what is interesting to me too i don't have a lot of numbers, more anecdotal, interesting that this year the social conservatives
8:09 am
are less wired up explicitly about social conservative issues and more about the international picture. i was taken by recently ralph reed's group face the family coalition, had an iowa caucus lots of social conservatives, all of the candidates were wildly applauding when they touched the international arena when they pledged to be tough about terrorism they won significant applause and positive comments from the audience. the republican candidate ultimately who wins will be the person who could dominate one element of the party and get significant support through other elements not simply someone who wins one faction and doesn't do well and others. >> karl rove out of austin, today, thank you for helping us crunch those numbers. awaiting the announcement from mike huckabee in 25 minutes. thanks. jenna: national security at the forefront of issues candidates have to address this time around. at the top of the show we told
8:10 am
you there are serious questions as to whether or not the attempted shooting in suburban dallas has ties to isis. we are working on the story. >> the intelligence community at this hour is assessing the cleanup responsibility by isis at the same time investors are doing a forensic review of the suspect for electronics and social media linked to the attack. a counterterrorism source tells fox news the twitter traffic revealed new and striking connections to one of the gunman and established twitter handles overseas suggesting isis operatives had some knowledge of the attack beforehand and at the same time, might have encouraged at least one of the shooter is. within minutes of the attack nona isis twitter handles had timely knowledge of the attack and suggested they had advance knowledge. some tweets like this one suggested contacts between the shooters and isis overseas with comments like i tried to reach him but just missed him.
8:11 am
the counterterrorism source said they should encouragement and significant this tweet shows on the upper and left the fate of the american cleric killed in the cia drone strike in 2011 and remains to this day in the face of the new digital jihad. new information about a second suspect who according to a facebook calendar has been disabled, long standing hatred of the police and had at one time studied overseas in pakistan. >> the dutch legislator who was at the event raised the awareness of the fbi and homeland security to send out a joint intelligence bulletin. there could be an attack, potential terrorist attack at this event. the precautions were taken. it is stopped. >> the first time we had confirmation there was a
8:12 am
classified risen from homeland security as well as the fbi in advance of the texas event understand it was a likely target for islamic extremists including isis sympathizers. it went on to emphasize, the security at the event which ultimately thwarted the attack with the addition that this is not possible in every scenario. jenna: thank you very much. john: tweet to college students set up a hidden camera and were shocked at what they found their roommate doing. now that student faces felony charges. a growing water crisis in iran. this used to be a river. now completely dried up. we will talk with the journalists in iran who has been giving us a rare glimpse at life inside secretive country. do you support the candidacy of mike huckabee? join our live chat
8:16 am
>>... and crime stories a university of south carolina student admitted spitting and pouring chemicals into food belonging to her two remains. after being caught on a hidden camera in the off-campus apartment he leaking is facing felony charges. the suspect in the university of virginia student's murders in court today, lawyers for jessie matthews jr. asking the trial to be moved to examine the evidence. her remains were found five weeks later. and missing 2-year-old girl, police found her mother shot to death in a car in baton rouge on monday. right now no suspects in this case.
8:17 am
pacquaio now for a crisis you don't hear a lot about. this split screen shows the once mighty river now completely dried out and then suddenly full again. we are going to explain that and howard happened in a moment. drought ravageds parts of iran. experts warn some areas of the country could become uninhabitable. we will explain why that is significant in a moment. the tehran bureau chief one of the few western journalists living and working in iran and publishing a weekly series our man in tehran. she joins us for his latest installment. what exactly is happening with this river? >> the river is one of the mightiest rivers of teheran and iran being in the middle east has had less and less rain over the past year. it hasn't been raining much where the river lies. basically it is drying up because there are a lot of people using a lot of water and
8:18 am
water management is often not that good. comparable to the seine river of paris. >> at the end of this piece you show the river you were walking across is full of water and easy people lining up to take a boat down the river, how did it get water in it? >> it has to do with a large number of dams mahmoud ahmadinejad was known for is denial of the holocaust but he has been building a lot of damage. it might sound like something it has seriously screwed up iran's one management. a lot of water remains behind a dam the rivers are drying up and what of people have been protesting. what you see in the video people have been protesting, demanding the water return. >> when you ask a young man what happens to the water they
8:19 am
actually blame the united states and you have a bit of fun with that. are the series? are they blaming the united states for the lack of water? >> very easy to blame the world's biggest superpower for everything even if it involves a local river in central iran being tried out. maybe the americans came and drank the water. they think president obama sucked it up with a straw? of course not. jenna: is interesting to see the rationale and understand more about this crisis. it leads to a better question. we have the nuclear negotiations all is the backdrop, i wonder about internal pressure inside of iran. the pressure domestically on the regime for basic necessities like water and jobs and how that is playing into how the regime acts on an international stage and how they prioritize. what pressures on this regime
8:20 am
right now? >> young people like everywhere in the world want to have jobs. when the country as isolated because of sanctions this evolves the job market but the same thing is the environmental disaster taking place in iran. it is comparable to what is happening in california. the drought in california is causing cities to draw up, causing desert increase and the same is happening in iran. they are estimating half of iran will be an inevitable in the coming 20 years. the government, this means in order to solve all these problems from jobs to the environment he needs to maintain ties with the world especially the united states. jenna: an interesting tie in. great having you on the program talking to you from tehran which is very rare so we are able to do. we look forward to hearing you back and hearing from you. we appreciate it very much.
8:21 am
john: spring break nightmare for delaware family continues. the father released from the hospital, is two sons are fighting for their lives after they were all poisoned at a luxury resort in the caribbean. plus isis claims responsibility for the attack in texas but efforts to stop the spread of terrorists to western countries are meeting resistance overseas.
8:24 am
8:25 am
and saying they continue to undergo rehab therapy because of all of this. the pesticide was sprayed to fumigate the condo below theirs despite the ban of the use indoors. the boy is still in the hospital. >> isis claims responsibility are the attack in texas. two radical islamist shot dead after opening fire outside of a prophet mohammed cartoon contest. questions over how high profile terror suspects can slip through the cracks as protests are being held in france over increasing surveillance. amy is live. >> reporter: france passed the bill just now but there was backlash after the edward snowden affair about surveillance and the french and europeans were generally critical of the u.s. patriot act
8:26 am
but france's parliament act passed a law that gives the government sweeping powers to survey particularly cellular accounts. the terrorist who carried out mass murdered in the offices of charlie hebdo were under surveillance for years but went quite and police stopped trailing them shortly before they sprung into deadly action. they astopped attacked on churches a couple weeks ago and that was the straw that broke the camels back on this bill. in the most complex cases it can require 30 operatives to survey one terror suspect with cars listening post extra
8:27 am
bodies to jump out of car, three shifts of five and that can be doubled if the associates need to be monitored or the suspect is particularly wilely. >> if that individual is trained in trade fact and he knows how to detect surveillance or he knows how to take multiple routes it is more complicated. surveillance is a very resource intensive investigative tool. >> reporter: jon, you are seeing the debate here in europe across the global, how about how much surveillance is affordable, useful, ethical, and how many people can we accept are terrorist who will slip through cracks inevitable.
8:28 am
>> and everything changes once there is a successful attack like the charlie hebdo attack. loretta lynch is visiting baltimore a week after the riots and days after police officers were charged with the death of freddie gray. and the senate is set to take action on a bill that will give the power to sign off on the deal with iran and there is a push to stop the bill and who is behind it and why. we will have those angles covered up ahead.

a quick look at what is still to come on this hour of "happening now." detecting cancer early. scientist say a simple blood test could do that. details on the amazing study. a toddler get on a roof and teeters on the edge. how he got down and the role the neighbors played. and what dzhokhar tsarnaev did for the first time in court giving jurors a new look at him. a wake of the riots following the funeral of freddie gray for the injuries sustained in police custody loretta lynch is visiting the city.
8:33 am
rich hudson is live at the university of baltimore with more. rich? >> reporter: good afternoon jenna. that is right, the attorney general is expected at the university of baltimore shortly according to a justice department official the attorney general will be talking with a handful of community leaders police officers police officials and other city officials throughout the day as she also attends what the head of the department of justice civil rights division. it is that department investigating the death of freddie gray and whether or not the officers violated freddie gray's civil rights and that could be a federal charge. that is something they are looking into. back to you. >> thank you very much. out of hope arkansas, mike huckabee, a former governor of the state and former host of live is announcing he is going
8:34 am
8:35 am
small town i was raised to believe where a person started didn't mean that is where he had to stop. i believed going from hope to higher ground. [applause] >> i grow up in a small town that is small removed from the power and influence of the country. the power and money and political influence left a lot of americans lagging behind. they work hard and they sweat through their clothes, but they cannot seem to get ahead or in some cases stay even. my parents were like that. my dad wasn't educated but he was a smart man. he and my brother didn't have a lot but they had honesty to the
8:36 am
bone and taught my sister we would do unto others as we would have done to us. it was here in hope i learned how to swim ride a bike, how to read, how to work and how to play fair. i learned the difference between right and wrong. and i learned that god loved me as much as he loves anyone but that he doesn't love some more than others. i learned about america. in ms. mary's kindergarten and at woodward elementary school i learned the pledge allegiance the lord's prayer and the words of the constitution. [applause] >> we prayed at the start of each day and we prayed again before lunch. and i learned that this exceptional country could only be explained by the providence
8:37 am
of all mighty god. [applause] >> it was here in hope that i learned how to handle a firearm and a fishing pole and spent a lot of hours with both. i got my first bb-gun at age five. it was a daisy model 25. i still have it. it is in mint condition. i learned the basic rules of gun safety and i never thought about using a firearm to murder someone. [applause] >> i ran squad lines at the lake with my dad and grandfather so we could catch cat fish freeze and live off of for weeks. it was here i was baptized in the garret memorial church after accepting jesus at a vacation bible school when i was just ten
8:38 am
years old. [applause] >> i truly went from hope to higher ground. [applause] >> it was here that i met the girl who would become my wife of 41 years and give me three children and share what will soon be five grandchildren. now we knew each other from elementary school, started dating our senior year of high school as she shared. it was here i got a job at kxr radio at age 14. that job paid my way through school and gave me the opportunity to be mentored by the station manager and one of the few republicans in the country. it was here i was the first male in my entire lineage to graduate from high school at the very
8:39 am
same campus that stands on main detroit -- street. it was here i went on to college and also here i first ran for collected office when i ran for student council at hope junior high school. [applause] >> so it seems perfectly fitting that it would be here that i announce that i am the candidate for president of the united states of america! [applause] [applause]
8:40 am
>> thank you. thank you. well i am glad you reacted that way. it would have been a lonely day had you been quite. you know, it was eight years ago a young untested, inexperienced and virtually unknown freshman senator made speeches about hope and changing. but our debt has doubled, america's leadership is evaporating and the country is more polarized than every in my lifetime. 93 million americans don't have jobs. and many of them who do have seen their full-time job with benefits they once had become to part-time jobs with no benefits at all. we were promised hope but it was just talk. and now we need the kind of change that really could get america from hope to higher
8:41 am
ground. [applause] >> veterans who kept their promise to america kept us free, now wait for months to keep our country for its promise to veterans for basic hilary clinton -- health care and assistance to cope with the wound we sent them to fight for. our veterans should be getting the first fruits of the treasury. not the leftovers. and my friend when i am president, our veterans are not going to be left on the streets and in waiting rooms to rot but they will be treated with the dig dignity they have earned and
8:42 am
deserved. [applause] >> when i meet mean with an american legion cap or one that says veteran i never try to fail in saying thank you for giving me my freedom. we owe them more than a pat on the back. we need to take them from hope to higher ground. washington is more dysfunctional than ever. it is so behold to the donor class and filling them campaign coughers it ignores people are paying half their income for homeownership and a lot of young
8:43 am
people with heavy student loan debt are not able to afford a home for a while. we have a record number of people enrolled in government operated help programs like food stamps and it is not because people want to be in poverty. [applause] >> it is because they are part of the bottom 90% of the country of american workers whose wages have been stagnant for the past 40 years. the war on poverty hasn't ended poverty. it has prolonged it. i don't judge the success of how many people are on government assistance to the success of government. i judge how many people have good jobs and don't need government assistance. [applause] >> and we don't create good jobs for americans by entering into
8:44 am
unbalanced trade deals that forgo congressional scrutiny and looking the other way so we can import law wage workers underpay workers, and drive wages lower than the dead sea. that is unacceptable. [applause] >> i governed in the state with the most lop sided and partisan in the country. no republican governor had more democrats and fewer republicans. i challenged the deeply entrenched political machine that ran this state. my friend it was tough sledding. but i learned how to govern and i learned how to lead. and in that environment we passed 94 tax cuts, rebuilt the road system saw improvements in student test scores and fought the corruption of the good ole boy system so working class
8:45 am
people were given a fair shake finally. and we saw family income increase by 50% during my tenure. there are some who proposed to save the safety nets like medicare and social security we ought to chop off the payment for the people who have had their pay checks and pockets picked to the politician promising them there money would be waiting for them when they were old and sick. my friend you were forced to pay for social security and medicare for 50 years the government grabs money from our pay checks saying it will bow waiting for us when we turn 65. if congress wants to take away someone's retirement let them end their own congressional pensions not your social security. [applause] as
8:46 am
>> as president, i promise you will get what you paid for. how can anyone ever trust government if they steal from us and lie to us? it didn't help when congress took $700 billion out of medicare to pay for obamacare and instead of helping families find affordable hilary clinton we created a monster forcing us to by coverage we don't want, don't need and couldn't afford. [applause] >> and imagine congress fighting to repeal obamacare and then turning around and signing up for it. real health care reform focuses on prevention and cures rather than costly intervention because hope comes from finding cures for cancer heart disease
8:47 am
diabetes, and alzheimer's the same way we once lined up at the court house in the '50s and took our vaccines and got rid of polio. real cures to give hope to families who heard the dreaded diagnose and sentence to a slow and agonizing death. alzheimer's alone will cost million. focusing on treatment saves money lives and families. and i remember president kennedy telling us we were going to send a man to the moon and bring him home within the decade. president kennedy didn't live to see that come true but i did. and it made me believe that america could do anything it set its mind to. and as president as president i launched an approach to health
8:48 am
care and saved money and lives and not just a bunch of government programs. we face real threats from radical jihadism in the form of groups like isis and state terrorist like iran. but we put more pressure on our ally israel to stop building bedrooms than we do on iran for building a bomb. [applause] >> dealing with radicals who chant death to america is non-sense. when i hear the president saying he want christian do is get off their high horse so we can make nice with radical jihadist i wonder if he could watch a western from the '50s and figure
8:49 am
out who the bad guys and good guys really are. as president, i promise you that we will no longer merely try to contain jihadism. we will conquer it. [applause] [applause] >> we have deal with jihadis just like we would deal with deadly snakes. and let there be no doubt israel will know as will the whole world we are their trusted friend and the ayatollah of iran will know that hell will freeze over before they get a nuclear
8:50 am
weapon. i commit this today i will never apologize for america. ever! [applause] >> we face not only the threats from terrorism but the threat of new kind of dangerous. from a cyber war that could shutdown major financial markets to threats of an electromagnetic device that could fry the electrical grid and take this country back to the stone age in a matter of moments and waiting till it happens is too late. we lost our way moralally
8:51 am
witnesses the slaughter of 50 million babies in the name of choice and are threatening the name of religious liberty by criminalizing christianity and demanding we abandon biblical principles of natural marriage. [applause] >> many of our politicians have surrendered to the false god of supremacy allowing unelected judges the power to make law and enforce it up ending the three branches of the government as well as the separation of powers so central to the constitution. my friend the supreme court court is not the supreme being and they cannot overturn the laws of nature or of nature's god. government in washington is dysfunctional because it has become the roach motel. people go in but they never come
8:52 am
out. [applause] >> as president i will fight for term limits on all three branches of government. [applause] >> that would help return us to the founder's dream that serving the public should be a temporary duty not a lucrative career with generous pensions and paychecks that are not available to the very people who pay for them. [applause] >> you know if someone is elected to an office, give the taxpayers what they are paying for and the job you said you wanted. if you live off the government pay roll and want to run for office other than the one you have been pointed to have the decency to resign from the one you don't have before you pursue
8:53 am
the one you don't have. as president i would take 10th amendment and actually abide by it. power is never intended to be so focused at the federal level. our constitution was explicitly clear about keeping the federal government small so it would be able to focus on simple things like providing a military and securing our borders. there are things done at the federal level that should have been left in the hands of the state or even better family. there is no constitutional authority to dictate education from the federal government. [applause] >> why even have a federal department of education? it has flunked and it needs to be expelled. [applause]
8:54 am
>> it is left best to the mom and dads of the children. and common sense tells us the best government is the most limited. we are super sizeded the federal government but left the borders open. we need to address the immigration issues. not with amnestty but taking control of the borders. but as americans, we ought to get on our knees every night and thank god we still live in a country that people are trying to break into rather than one they are trying to break out of.
8:55 am
there is a difference in making a speech and making government accountable to the people who have to pay for it. you cannot spend money you don't have you cannot borrow money you cannot afford to pay back and the government should have to follow the same rules and balance the government just like every year i had to as a governor. [applause] >> and i don't want to hear politicians talking about tinkering with the tax code letting washington pick the winners the losers. we cannot never create prosperity for the people or
8:56 am
grow from the pit of debt and never move america to the greatest economy on earth if we fund reckless irresponsibility. i met a man at a machine shop in new hampshire and he started working a double shift helping his daughter pay for grad school. he figured working 16 hours a day rather than 8 he would bring home twice the pay. but the money he worked for on the second shift put him in a new tax bracket and the government got more than he did. it isn't our tax system is punishing the richest people in america. they can afford account antants and lawyers to help them. it is the people trying to get ahead that can't if the government is penalizing them for trying to do better.
8:57 am
as president i will work to pass the fair tax which would no longer penalize people's work -- [applause] [applause] >> we wouldn't penalize people's work or saving or investments or good stewardship. and it would be the end of big government bailouts and most importantly we would finally rid ourselves of the biggest bully in america the irs! [applause] >> the irs would disappear and
8:58 am
april 15th would be just another beautiful spring day. the struggle for many families isn't helped when the government solution is fighting over what the minimum wage ought to be. it is a race to the bottom to figure out what the government determines is the least you can make. we need to promote the maximum wage set were the worker who is willing get training for a job that pays a maximum amount. [applause] >> we will never break the cycle of poverty by pushing people to minimum minimum wage. only by empourwering them to make their maximum wage. that is how we take people from hope to higher ground. [applause] >> this country has to do three things to stay fuel: feed
8:59 am
