emails saying, you don't need my money now. you're going to raise a billion dollars, so you don't need my money. they are completely wrong. megyn: chris stirewalt is a fox news editor and host of power play. i guest it's rough raise a billion dollars. they are fundraising numbers were pretty big, bigger than anything we saw on the republican side to have jim messina coming out and expression concern. >> reporter: they were big but not big enough. a quarter billion dollars, the president and the national committee combined put together about a quarter billion dollars last year in fund-raiser. that is a ton of money. we expect to see that the president and his ground troops at the dnc will spend if they don't get to one billion dollars they'll get close. they are going to spend a lot of money. but, and this is a very important but, they are proposing a very expensive strategy to try to get a second

term for president obama. number one, is a hugely expensive media campaign in which they will try to blow up whomever the republicans nominate and then, two, is to try to pay for a ground game that will replicate some of the enthusiasm lost since 2008. both of those are really expensive to do. megyn: at the same time messina is asking for more money from democratic donors, he's saying that billion dollar number is a bunch of nonsense. he came out and called it bs, but in a less politically correct say, and they are trying to tamp that down, chris. they want way more than a quarter billion dollars, just how much does it take to, you know -- how much spending does it take to retain the presidency? >> the easy answer is every nickle they can possibly get their hands-on because they will need it all, because everybody knows this is bound to be a very

tough election contested in 12 battleground states, some of which, like florida, are very expensive places to play. you know, the most important thing here and the most significant thing here is that democrats who for a longtime, after and leading up to the 2010 elections believed that their guy was doomed, that the democrats were doomed, are now starting to feel a little cocky. they look at a republican process that starts to resemble a circular firing squad and even echos some of the talking points from the democrats on mitt romney. they watch this process unfold and they think, hey, our guy is going to win, maybe we don't have to cough up all of this money that we had to before, maybe we can spread the money around to senate races, house races. the the president needs to get that urgency back in place because by the time you get down to a horse race, later this year, in this summer it will be too later to put together the huge numbers they need. megyn: chris stirewalt, thank you sir. >> yes, ma'am. megyn: the south carolina primary is eight days away.

we have new poll numbers. according to the latest rasmussen report poll 28% of voters in south carolina say they would vote for mitt romney if the primary were held today. 21% back newt gingrich. rick santorum, ron paul both have 16%, rick perry is at 6. jon huntsman is at 5. a bit later scott rasmussen will join us live with more results including who voters think would be the strongest candidate against president obama and also a sneak preview of how the florida primary voters are feeling. florida of course comes right after south carolina. disturbing new images coming in from iran as new reports raise flags about a potential attack against the west, or some sort of retaliation. state tv showing thousands of people chanting, death to america, and death to israel during the funeral of a nuclear expert believed to have been assassinated. iranian officials accuse the u.s. and israel of being behind

the attack saying it was part of a secret operation to stop iran's nuclear program. iran's supreme leader is now vowing retaliation, and reportedly claims that those who ordered the attack will be punished. one of the most vocal presidential candidates on iran will join us live in our next hour. white house hopeful ron paul will be here live on what he thinks about the threats and what he would do right now about this this he were commander-in-chief. fox news weather alert. winter breaking out with a vengeance blasting a huge chunk of the nation. the dangerous storm stretching from the great lakes to the northeast. snow, wind, sleet, ice all in the make. so far, four to seven inches of snow have already fallen in illinois, and in new england conditions are changing rapidly right now. arctic air surging into the area, temperatures plummeting to below freezing, the bitter cold leading to a flash freeze

creating treacherous travel conditions on some roads and highways, and meteorologist janice dean finally has something to talk about live from the fox weather center. jd, boy it was silent and now mother nature is not silent any more. >> reporter: absolutely, ten weeks until springtime, megyn. we've been relatively lucky across the midwest and the northeast, actually a snow deficit is what we've been dealing w. but here is our latest storm system for the western great lakes things are calmer, however eastern great lakes like eerie and ontario we'll see several inches of snow over the next 12 to 24 hours. look at the snow totals close to 30 inches for parts of northern wisconsin, a foot in michigan and 6 inches in chicago. if you look to what it was like last year at this time, megyn, look at this. we had 48 inches in minneapolis. it was block-buster storm after block-buster storm. to give you an idea we've been

relatively calm this winter for folks who typically see a lot of snow this time of year. as the storm exits we will see wind gusts in excess of 30, 40 miles per hour across the northeast and you know that will lead to airline delays. look at the wind gusts as we head further out in time. friday through saturday kind of lingering, 30, even 40-mile per hour wind gusts. even though the storm is exiting we are still going to unfortunately deal with it and the windchills in some cases below zero across portions of new england. megyn: wow, 30, 40 miles an hour it's something that the big and sexy hairspray cannot combat, right jd? >> reporter: i'm all about the big and sexy hairspray. we are the poster children. >> maureen, our makeup artist says she likes the taste of it. >> reporter: we know maureen, she probably spinning eld it on her food. megyn: they are doing your makeup, doing your hair and everybody winds up eating hairspray.

thanks, j.d. a state that is no stranger to snow, alaska is getting hammered. it's seeing the most intense winter anyone there can remember. record snow piling so high people cannot see outside of their windows and keeping tankers delivering fuel in waters choked by ice. look at this a man standing on his roof looking at snow piled up against his house. and this house almost completely buried. we've seen this now for three days in a row, we keep looking at this one. these people may really be stranded. it's like we have no other pictures. trace gallagher is live in our west coast newsroom. >> reporter: when they say in alaska that it's the worst winter they've seen on record that is like saying in death valley the worst summer you've seen in years, that is saying something. in places like valdez and nome, alaska they have more than 300 inches, more than double they get in a normal year. by the way there are three months of winter left. the national guard has been helping to shovel snow for months. the problem is there is not

enough snow shovels and no place to really put the stuff. in nome there is kind of a drama tkraoug off the coast because a russian tanker -- they haven't had fuel in nome delivered for months. a russian tanker is trying to crawl its way through the ice. we are told at last check it is 8 miles off the coast of nome. fuel prices are at $5.50 a gallon for gas. it goes up a buck a week. they are hoping to get the fuel in there by some time midday tomorrow. they desperately need the fuel in there. supplies are low all across the city, all across the state. aside from being low on supplies it is posing big time avalanche danger. major roads have been shut down on a weekly basis. it's not all bad news, listen. >> the snow is great, the snow is great for skiing, for downhill skiing, alpine skiing. it's beautiful, it makes the holiday season awesome, fresh snow increases the light in town, it makes it brighter in

the middle of the winter. to me it's great. >> reporter: so at least somebody is happy, right? you look at big snow in alaska, i just want to show you how weird the weather is, look at this graphic from out west here, this is the sierra nevada water pack. on the left is last year about 300 inches of snow, and look at that white and the purple is the deepwater content. on the right almost no snow so far this year. they haven't got even snow up there in over a month. very weird the same kind of scene is playing out in the northern part of the country as well as the rockies. so it's very bad in alaskan very dry in a lot of the rest of the country, megyn. megyn: speaking as a life-long new yorker, i miss it, i miss the white stuff. it's kind of fun seeing it fall, going out doing a little sledding, getting a little skiing n. i don't know, am i alone? >> reporter: the skiing is crappy out here. megyn: crappy? you don't say. thanks, trace, thanks for that. >> reporter: yep. megyn: poor california boy who is he kidding, he's probably out

on the surf every morning. new fallout following a decision to pardon dozens of convicts in mississippi. >> i think they ought to be -- the governor himself ought to have to look me and the family in the eye and say, hey, i'm going to let this guy go, but there wasn't any of that. that is the coward's way out. megyn: that is randy walker e was shot in the head and almost killed by one of the men just set free who is now roaming the streets and able to buy a gun. that is what happens when you get a pardon, it's like you have no criminal record. walker, the guy you saw there said he's scared for his safety an has a message for governor haley barbour when he joins us live. plus, evangelical leaders meeting in south carolina this weekend. they want to rally around one single candidate. could this be a game-changer? governor mike huckabee on that. and new questions on how a group of girls, all from the same high school suddenly fall ill with a turrets-like syndrome.

megyn: a new recall to tell you about. bed, bath and beyond recalling metal tissue holders over radiation concerns. the nuclear regular torrey commission says the products are contaminated with low levels of radioactive material. what the? really? and may have been distributed in stores in more than 20 states. see it there? i think i have one of these. they say there is little to no risk to human health but the holders have been pulled from shelves. that is a little inconsistent. consumers can call the numbers on the screen or return the products to stores for a full refund. okay. radioactive.

i don't like it. huh-uh, do you like that new music? huh-uh. huh-uh. okay moving on. evangelical and tea party leaders gathering in texas right now with hopes of rallying around a single g.o.p. candidate. this could potentially be a game-changer folks. some conservatives say they want an alternative to mitt romney. can they unite and should mitt romney be concerned? he's the frontrunner. mike huckabee is a former arkansas governor and a host on fox news.com and was in an interesting position four years ago when you won iowa, and the value voters vote, then moved to new hampshire, did not win there and then came the critical south carolina, and there was a question about whether the evangelicals should have rallied around you and made sure you were there guy. they say they have regrets about not doing that, governor and they are trying to avoid that similar behavior this time around. do you think they need to get

behind one candidate instead of splitting among all these conservatives? >> well i'm certainly glad that they are saying they should have done it four years ago, gee, four years too late, huh? i don't think that they'll probably come to unite around one candidate because right now many of these leaders have already invested in either newt gingrich, rick santorum, or rick perry, some actually have invested in romney, some in ron paul. they are already splintered. it would take something like parting the red sea, a miracle of that magnitude to get all of them to for go who they have already chosen and then to pick one, and then how do they pick from those as to the magic person? megyn: why can't they get behind anybody? these are some big leaders, governor, as you know tony perkins of the family research council. gary bower. james bob son who used to be head of focus on the family. why can't they pick somebody? what is the problem? >> i think the problem is

timing. if they had done something six months ago before people were invested in the candidates they could have done that. they made a commitment early on and they were going to get together and in early 07 they were going to sue night teupbd a single candidate. it went from january, february, marin to the summer. at the time they thought they should do it it was too late because then the leaders and the followers were explain terd. and frankly i think that is exactly what's happened now. it's probably too late, and even if the leaders were to agree it doesn't mean that their constituents will. a lot of the constituents of these organizations and ministries have already made up their mind. they are not going to change just because their leader says i've decided to endorse newt gingrich or perhaps endorse rick santorum. i think, you know, this bell has been running and probably cannot be unrung. megyn: does that inure to the benefit of the frontrunner mitt romney who doesn't seem to be necessarily the number one choice against the social conservatives, the values

voters, it depends on who you ask. does that enure to his benefit? >> it could. i think it in many ways will because of the fact that you have a splintered vote among people for whom the primary consideration are the values issues, whether it's san sanctity of life and the dignity of every person, the sanctity of marriage, these are issues that are deal stoppers for a lot of the evangelicals and frankly a lot of catholics. so if they don't unite and they don't find a candidate around whom they decide they are going to be, then mitt romney becomes sort of the default option for those who are more establishment republicans, and it's not unlike what happened last time with john mccain winning the nomination. megyn: it's funny you should mention that. he was on the program yesterday, and then fred thompson was on fox & friends today and they seem unhappy with you, governor, because you actually told me when we were in iowa we were talking, you were in florida i was in iowa and you said you believed that john mccain had

asked fred thompson to stay in the west. you went down to south carolina, and you believe he asked fred thompson to stay in the race so that the conservative vote would be split between thompson and you, and that would help mccain. mccain came out here yesterday and said that is flat out not true. fred shop son came out and said, i like mike huckabee but that is just not true. i'd like to give you a chance to respond. >> being called a liar by both john mccain and fred shop so thompson is not good. i've been called worse by a lot of people. i'll get over that. i thought it was a compliment. i heard that from my campaign chairman who heard it from three different sources inside the camp. i thought it was a compliment in that it was a brilliant political move if they did it. if they weren't smart enough to do it then i apologize for giving them the benefit of being that smart, because i thought it would have been a great move and i certainly wasn't bitter about

it, because it was not illegal or unethical it was just good political strategy. if they didn't do it they were dog gone lucky. megyn: you are lucky enough to sit down with all these candidates. the last one you had was fascinating with the attorneys general three of them in the united states questioning the candidates. you're doing another one tomorrow night. tell us about it. >> it's going to be with undecided voters in south carolina. interesting, megyn there are almost half of all the voters in south carolina who have yet to make up their mind who they are going to vote for a week from now. these are undecided voters. they'll be in charleston. we are going to let them ask the questions of the candidates. candidates are not going to be allowed to attack each other. we want them to attack the questions and answer tough questions from voters. but with 9.9% unemployment in south carolina people here have some very serious questions of somebody who wants to be president, and by the way, people can submit questions online at hucforum2 at

megyn: new danger signs for the housing market. after a slow down last year foreclosures may be picking up again rising some 25%. according to a firm that tracks foreclosures banks could take control of more than one million homes this year alone. dennis kneale of the fox business network is live with the details. what is this about? >> reporter: it's bad news for homeowners who are now in trouble, in foreclosure, it may eventually be some kind of good news for the economy. let's take a lock at this housing mess. one million homes now in

foreclosure will be seized this year. the forecaster real tree track says, we have a chart on this for you. that is going to be up 25% in terms of seizures from 2011. almost 2 million homes went into some kind of default auction or repossession in 2011. that is painful for homeowners in trouble. but we need these cases, these foreclosure cases kind of settled to get out of the way so haasing can start to come back 400,000 homes last year should have been seized but they weren't because of litigation the firm says. it's part of a much bigger problem, though, guys and it could get worse. watch this. take a look at the numbers, 12 million homes right now in this country are underwater. the owners owe $700 billion more than the homes are worth right now, okay. almost 3.5 million of those underwater homes are actually in default, the people aren't paying, they are running way late, they owe 275 billion more than the homes are worth. now this year and next is when it could get especially bad, guys, 2 million vacant homes

were on sale in the second quarter. half a million of those are not owned by the owners trying to sell them, they are owned by the banks and mortgage servicers and the government. the federal reserve says by 2013, 2 million more homes will be seized by year-end according to the report. and guess what, guys the government will own over half of all of these homes that are being seized. home prices are down 30% since 2006, that is $7 trillion in lost value. the fed wants to stop prices from falling farther by pushing the federal government into the rental home business with all of those seized homes you're hearing about. but the government is a really incompetent landlord. it already owns billions of dollars of property it doesn't even use. until prices hit the natural bottom housing cannot come back. back to you, megyn. megyn: me and the guys are amazed. dennis, thank you. >> reporter: thanks a lot. megyn: coming up, 12 teenage

iran. the poepbg has stationed up to 20,000 troops in nearby kuwait on a new aircraft, the uss carl vinson is on its way, they say as part of a natural rotation. jennifer griffin is live at pentagon. >> reporter: the white house, state department and pentagon officials are denying that there is any new secret channel to the iranians in which they have delivered a message about the strait of hormuz. they are saying, however, they have delivered very stern messages through the normal channels in recent weeks as there was tension. they say the private messages are the same as the public messages delivered by the defense secretaries at fort bliss, texas yesterday. >> we cannot toll rat iran blocking the strait of hormuz and that is a red line. >> reporter: the message has been delivered privately we are told to iran's supreme leader, an ayatollah. in the wea wake of the ten days

of war games in the persian gulf the u.s. is afraid that iran will spend speed boats to interfere with traffic in the strait which the pentagon said would be viewed as an act of war. u.s. officials are delivering these messages, publicly and privately fearing that iranian commander's could misread it. they are worried that the 16 billion barrels of oil a day through the strait could be used to make a point. there were new threats today from arraign yan officials as they buried a top nuclear scientist killed by a car bomb this web. thousands of iranians shouting death to americans, death to israelis and there were further threats of retaliation suggesting that there could be assassinations carried out by iran's revolutionary garcia overseas targeting israeli and american targets.

rhetoric. i thought this is what they wanted, mike, they wanted the extended primary. of course they'd all be going after each other for months and weeks on end. >> this has taken a turn. this has really got even ugly. now we have republicans a cushion other republicans of sounding like liberal democrats. megyn: of being liars. >> liars, and that started out really with the mitt romney super pack in iowa where they accused newt of being in favor of the mandate. i mean the individual healthcare mandate, which wasn't true. this has got even ugly. i really was rooting for newt in terms of staying positive. i thought it would set a tone. megyn: it was an experiment. >> and it didn't go well, now he's throwing into the towel and says that doesn't fly i'm going to have to roll up my sleeves like everybody else. i don't think it's great for anybody. it's kind of ugly. megyn: let me ask you this. alan. i think the republicans got this idea from the democratic primarily last time around. the rules were different for democrats, and it led to the extended primary. they say that looks pretty g the

candidates getting a lot of media coverage for months on end. they went that route. >> john mccain said this way you know who the wackos are. you don't need me, you don't need me, democrats to do research, you guys are doing it on yourselves. it's fun to me. megyn: do you think it behooves the party or the voters to have this extended contest where they hear everything? >> i think it's good to have that kind of information but you don't need to have a year-long, year and a half long contest any more, because all this information about all these candidates is everywhere. it's on youtube. anything you say is already known about you. the idea that you go through this long slog in order to get finally a nomination i don't think is the healthiest way to go about this. >> it's only a preview of what we'll see during the general election. megyn: that's when the republicans say when they try to justify it. they say the packs that you supporting the various candidates say you're going to hear it whatever guy goes up against barack obama so why not

get it out now. >> governor romney has said that about speaker gingrich saying, you've got to man up, get tough, this isn't beanbag. on other hand that same advice he's going to now have to follow, because believe me obama is going to be all about bai bain capital, all about the class warfare baloney, the crap. megyn: that's twice on the program, crap. >> how are these republicans going to come together after calling him a vulture capitalist, a liar, but i'll still vote him over obama. megyn: they do it every year. >> i can't wait to see the crawling back to position in order to support somebody who you renounced. >> i can't do it. megyn: speaking of crawling back. dick morris has some theory about cockroaches crawling through the muck and he has a theory that you know the ones that make it out of being attacked by the raid -- i may not have this exactly right, is the one -- it's like whoever can make it through this process is necessarily the strongest candidate. >> the last man standing, it

really is. the question will be -- all eyes now have to be on south carolina which is going to be, you know, the wildcard, because, you know, gingrich and romney are closer than i think a lot of people -- >> all romney has to do is come in second then he has to win florida and do very well in florida, if he does well in florida he'll get the nomination. >> if romney doesn't win south carolina that will be a game changer. that was gingrich's strategy. he had his sights set on south carolina, and he said this is where this will be won or lost. megyn: they say the president is not paying much attention to this race and is not spending more than 5% of his time campaigning. i know people have questions about that, including mike gallagher. is there any disadvantage to the president in not sort of doing the bare knuckles brawl right now. >> he doesn't have to. they are doing it among themselves. megyn: in terms of the ammunition coming his way, is it better for him if he has to respond to that right now. >> i think he takes the high road.

he'll have plenty of opportunity to respond to it. >> high road he won't know how to get on the high road. >> look at your candidates, you're going to talk to me about the high road? which one of the republicans is taking the high road. >> this super pack stuff right now, obama is going to have a billion dollars of super pack stuff. >> that billion dollar number has never been confirmed by the white house. it's something that republicans keep repeating that it's a billion dollars. >> how much do you think is coming from george soros. megyn: the campaign manager came out about a billion dollar number and you know what he called it. >> crap? >> that's three times. megyn: enjoy your lunch unless it involves a processed meat product and we'll get to that story 30 minutes from here. mike, alan thank you. new details on a convenience store robbery in south carolina. now we don't normally go that local on the news but this one involves me. what happened? you won't believe. and mississippi governor haley

message across that we need to take this governor away from the governor and put it back in the hands of the people so -- megyn: randy, i know that this man, david gatlin not only did he kill his estranged wife and shoot you at the time, but he made a threat about coming back. tell us that. >> well i don't know that -- if he ever actually made a threat. he actually told me in a courtroom later on that it wasn't really anything personal against me, that i was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, however, he was at my house, so i took it personal. megyn: understandably. now you were shot in the head by this man? >> yes, shot -- let's me went in on the left-hand side, right around the ear, and aim out in the ear on the right side. when i came to the projectile was laying on the floor beside me. megyn: it's a miracle you survived in the first place. how did you learn that the governor had given david gatlin a pardon?

>> friday last week i had got even a letter from the mississippi parole board saying that david had been denied parole, that he had come up on december 27th, and that they had denied him parole and that he would come up again in october of 2012. i kind of breathed a sigh of relief, i said okay he's not getting out for nine or ten more months. saturday morning at 10:00 not even 24 hours later my wife got a call from the department of corrections lady, the victims coordinator, i can't think of her name and said david had been given a full, unconditional pardon. megyn: what was your reaction when you heard that news? >> my wife came to where i was working and made me stop what i was doing. and she told me that, and it went right over my head, i said no way, we got this letter yesterday, he is not getting out. they misspoke, or you got the information wrong, or you heard it wrong, no way, it ain't

possible. we did some checking to make sure that's what we heard and we found out he had been given a pardon, there was nothing we could do witness. we were never consulted or notified anything like that. we were totally devastated. megyn: randy when you get a pardon it's as if you were never convicted in the first place. he can go buy a gun, he can vote, he can do all the things that nonfelons can do. this is a guy who was serving a life sentence a week ago. your reaction as somebody who was shot in the head by this man, knowing that he is free to do all of that, and to re-enter your life or anybody's life just as he chooses? megyn >> right. it's a scary thing. megyn: i can't imagine what you and your family are going through. i know you are married and you have a family again, you're worried about their safety. let's hope there is nothing to worry about, randy. all the best to you, sir. >> thank you for having me, megyn it's an honor to be on your show. megyn: you bet, unbelievable.

coming up a frightening and mysterious illness giving 12 teenage girls at the same school the same bizarre symptoms that are very similar to turrets' syndrome. school administrators say the students have been diagnosed, so why are they keeping it a secret from their parents? >> we can't accept that because the symptoms do not coincide with conversion disorder. even if it was conversion disorder and that was the symptoms of it, we don't know what caused it. why are we getting 12, 14, 16 girls all sick that go to leroy high school?

megyn: a mysterious illness rocking a community in upstate new york. 12 teenage girls at the same

high school all suddenly come down with turrets' like symptoms suffering from verbal outbursts and involuntary twitches for months, and yet parents still don't have a clue as to why this is happening. trace gallagher live with more. trace. >> reporter: megyn, the school says this is not mass hysteria and the girls are not faking this. the twitches and outbursts are legitimate. one father says his honor roll daughter had them so bad that she missed more than a month of school. listen to him. >> it's something that just comes on within a calm of weeks and these kids are just totally normal and then next thing you know they are going blah, and their arms are swinging and they can't control themselves. >> reporter: so now the school has said they have diagnosed the girls and treated the girls, and by law we just talked to dr. marc siegl he says the girls have to know, because you can't treat somebody without telling them what they are being treated for. the school has been in contact with the cdc, they held, as you

see here a question-and-answer forum with the parents. now before you hear the doctor, listen closely and you'll hear a girl in the audience with a turrets-like outburst. [noise outburst] >> we took our time, did it right, we contacted the experts from the cdc, from columbia university that specialized in ticks. we have the best minds in on this and we are comfortable with what they came up with. >> reporter: the trouble is they will not tell anybody who they have come up with. presumably the kids do know but they won't tell the parents because of health privacy laws. they are telling the parents not to worry about it because they believe this will heal itself, but the parents are concerned. listen again. >> if my daughter had a diagnosis and i knew about it and i would as her parent i would tell you that, because i'm not a doctor, and i don't care about hipa, i care about getting these kids better. >> reporter: one parent said this a private doctor did

diagnose his daughter with something called conversion disorder, but he does not know if that is a blanket diagnosis for all 12 of these girls, megyn. right now it's still a mystery. we have call into the health department. nobody will let us know why the parents won't be notified if the kids are notified. megyn: why don't the kids just tell the parents. >> reporter: that's what we asked, because the girls have to know by law. why the parents don't know is the big mystery here, but the health department cannot reveal to the parents unless the kids tell them first. megyn: something seems off. trace, thank you. the south carolina primary now just eight days away. we have new poll numbers giving us a glimpse on how voters are feeling. scott rasmussen joins us live. a serious new health warning involving a link between processed meat and a very deadly cancer. and this prayer banner dividing a community, one student demanded it be taken down and even took it to court.

the judge has made a ruling and we have a decision. >> this country was sounded to be a secular study. we are supposed to keep church and state separate so people can have their rights and freedom to choose. >> i think it's a hell of a myth that one person can do this. >> if we take it down we just lost our prayer didn't we? what is thishorty? uh, tissues si i'm sick. you don't cough, you d't show defeat. give me your war face! raaah! [ male announcer ] halls. a pep talk in every drop.

megyn: new numbers on the battle for the presidential election. the candidates are out in force searching for support. newt gingrich may be smiling just a bit. gaining ground on the front runner mitt romney. that's according to the latest rasmussen poll. scott rasmussen joins me now. you are still shows mitt romney is the front runner but that has

some good news tonight for newt gingrich. >> it certainly does. the first bit of news is mitt romney's support has barely budged. it's about the same as it was after the iowa caucuses. the person who is heading in the wrong direction at the moment, rick santorum. down 8 points from a week ago. megyn: what explains that? his performance in new hampshire? >> it could be that. there is an awful lot of people voting tactically. they are saying we are concerned mitt romney is running away with this. hopefully for some it will draw somebody else into the race. megyn: the new hampshire voters cared about electability and they believed mitt romney was the most likely to beat obama.

what are you seeing on that front in south carolina. >> he's seen as the strongest potential candidate against barack obama. 23% say that's the man. 23% say newt gingrich. even among key party voters, those who are supposed to say my way or the highway. far away the new hampshire exit poll what they were look for most in a candidate was the ability to beat president obama. megyn: you got some interesting results when you broke it down between conservative and very conservative voters. >> they are leaning towards santorum or gingrich. 5 points back is romney. megyn: so somewhat conservative is not the same as moderate in your poll. >> that's correct.

megyn: what about when you ask folks separate and apart from who you want to win the nomination. who do they believe is going to win the nomination? >> overwhelmingly the perception is governor romney is going to be the nominee. that's very important. it also explains what we have seen seeing, the late surges. because what we are seeing is those candidates who want to slow down the romney train are surging to whoever seems to be the viable alternative at that point. in new hampshire half of jon huntsman's voters and a third of ron paul's voters want somebody else to jump in. megyn: given a sneak peek on florida, they have a lot of delegates and they have a big media market and the candidates are focusing on that state as

well. >> mitt romney is up by 22 points in florida. one of the things that's different about florida. expensive media campaign. romney has the edge there. and second, it's a republic only primary. the independents and democrats are the strongest supporters of jon huntsman and ron paul. so they don't get to participate. if mitt romney starts off with a 20-point lead in florida, very difficult to see how anybody can challenge him. megyn: he has no plans of throwing in the towel anytime soon. ron paul planning to fight tooth and nail to the end in the presidential battle. he joins us live in 10' minutes with his thoughts on the presidential race and we'll ask

about the rising tensions in iran that we have been telling you about. we have a fox news alert out of france that could have a major impact on your wallet at home. the credit agency standard and poors is lowering france's credit rating to double a plus. and more european countries may follow. it's the latest fallout from the eurozone crisis and it comes on the heels of president obama's remarks calling for $1.2 trillion increase to our debt limit. the a & p also knocked down our credit rating last year. the two things not necessarily related but perhaps anecdoteally, we are seeing eup

europe going through the same thing only worse. >> president obama wants to raise the debt limit in the united states. s & p is saying you are not doing this right. you can't keep borrowing money and not bring in money. eventually you can implode like greece did. you may see several other european countries being put on negative watch. president obama continues to borrow money and go against what the rating agencies are telling it to do, basically stop spending money you do not have. megyn: doesn't he have to do it? >> either have to do that or stop spending money and get the budget in order. megyn: that's what s & p told us to do. >> s & p said you are going down

the wrong path. you have to look to the future. we are so nearsighted. especially the government we have in place right now. they are concerned every month, and they keep raising the debt ceiling. eventually we have to pay the piper. s & p sees that. megyn: how is it going to affect us if at all that france, maybe austria and other european countries are getting a credit downgrade. >> for france to borrow money every time they get downgrade. it will cost france. here in america everybody thought our borrowing costs would go up but they didn't. it's the best of the worst. megyn: even though we got downgraded we can get credit because we are america. >> eventually people will look at emerging markets and say

their economy is better than ours. the banks start loaning to small businesses at a higher business rate. megyn: it sounds like standing alone france getting downgraded doesn't hurt or pocketbook. if it hurts france and italy. what it does is then slows down the growth in europe. most american companies have a lot of demand for goods and services in europe. it affects you and i, and it affects people watching at home. megyn: does this play into the eurozone crisis where they have been looking to back stop them where they were imploding and asking whether we could step in other world bank to could step in? is it in the in our into the see france and other european economies to be struggling and

downgraded? >> we can let europe go by the wayside and the u.s. will be okay, but this is a global economy and anything that happens to these economies will affect us if not now, down the road. the more we see in the downgrades, if we see the eu blow up which leads to higher unemployment and people out of w, losing their homes. the housing market goes back in the tank. the ramifications short term are not that bad. long term it will be great for the economy going forward in the next five to ten years. megyn: controversial comments coming from the leader of a major city. the mayor of philadelphia blasting the gunman who shot and killed three teens. mayor michael nutter lashing out at the victims and their parents. >> their little butts should

have been in bed, getting ready for bed or doing homework. the least you can know is where the hell your kids are. >> reporter: philadelphia has seen 14 murders in the first 12 days of this year, many of them young people. you can hearby that sound bite michael nutter is frustrate with the suspects, and the parents of the victims saying they should quit being idiots and blank holes. his rage hit its peak when 7 philadelphia teenagers went ages of 14-16 were out tuesday night driving around look for as the mayor calls it trouble when they found it. three of the teens were shot and killed in what appears to be an ambush shooting. the mayor asked the parents of the victims why they were out in the first place. listen. >> we cannot completely legislate or by policy make people be responsible for their

children. >> reporter: the shooting suspect was quickly arrested. he has a very long arrest record with drugs and weapons. but a lot of the weapons charges were dropped because of a technicality which is why he was back out on the street. here is the mayor talking about this suspect and other suspects. >> if you want to act like an i'd yopt and a low life in this town we'll track you down like the dog that you are, catch you, and you will be subject to every possible penalty that the law allows. >> reporter: the shooting suspect reportedly confessed to those murders saying the teenagers were threatening his stepchildren. megyn: trace, thank you. one of iran's leading nuclear scientists killed by a car bomb. iran is blaming the united states and israel. and nouveauing rye vehicle. how would ron paul respond to that threat if he were

megyn: a bold threat from iran after a key figure in its nuclear programs assassinated. iran blaming the united states and israel for a car bomb that

killed one of its top scientists. this is the this murder of an iranian nuclear scientist in two years. joining me is presidential candidate ron paul. there is a real question about the position we are in. there have been three guys assassinated. a fourth was attempted and iran is vowing to retaliate. they blame us. our secretary of state says we have nothing to do with it. israel saying the same. should we be doing this fit is us and what should we do if iran retaliates? >> well, obviously if we are doing it we shouldn't be doing it. this an act of terrorism. we should ema these with -- we should empathize with them.

if we haven't do it we should give them all the reassurance we have not don't. if we are doing it and participating we ought to quit. that wouldn't make any sense participating in violent acts which would be equivalent to terrorism at the same time that's all we talk about going around the world on a global war and terrorism. megyn: we may have a problem on our hand. our secretary of state says it wasn't us. but iran is it was us. now they are vowing to retaliate against israel or us. what do we do if they assassinate an american in response? >> it's a real mess. we should have done a lot less a lot sooner. everybody knows we have cia agents maneuvering in iran. we had a drone shot down -- maybe two drones shot down over iran. we are getting ready to put punishing sanctions on them in disrupting the oil market.

they are a weak nation. they are respond in a natural way. they don't want trouble because they know they can be annihilated in 40 minutes. this idea they are looking for a fight, i think that is a concoction of the west to prepare the people for a war that's likely to come when we have a policy like this. i think it makes a perfect argument for our non-intervention foreign policies that we shouldn't be engaged in stirring up trouble and all these things we do to try to get rid of the regime in iran plays into their hands. once we interfere or put on sanctions this brings the iranian people together. they are having an election in a few months and ahmadinejad is not that strong politically. but when we interfere as scene outsider those dissidents struggling to get control of their country and government, we have to drive them into the arms of the government as we were

brought together after 9/11. we all came together. there were no republicans and democrats. so we have to try to understand how our policies do the opposite of what we intend them to do. megyn: we have an impression that they do want trouble because of threats like the one they made to shut down the strait of hormuz through which 1/of the world's oil supply -- 1/6 of the world's oil supply flows. if you were the president what would you do? >> i wouldn't put sanctions on them. they are not going to shut down the strait of hormuz. that would be self-destructive. they have to think about putting devastating sanctions that will hurt their economy. eastern europe is going to suffer. but to say because they are retaliating with a so called threat is the problem, i say

that the consequence of the problem. and we should think more broadly than that. we shouldn't stir that up to the point that anybody thinks they really want to close down the straits of hormuz or they can. i think that out of proportion of what they are trying to do. they are trying to get attention on how the world is trying to punish them and we are not punishing the dissidents who are trying to overthrow their government. they are unifying their people because there are too many foreigners trying to interfere with their internal affairs. megyn: we had scott rasmussen on at the top of the hour. one of the polls believe the weakest opponent to president obama. you came in first in this poll. 33% thought you were the weakest. what do you think about that

it's an electability question. whether people believe you can beat president obama. >> i think that totally unreliable polling. he might have talked to a few republicans. just other day there was a poll out that showed i was absolutely equal to obama in a national race. i have a lot of support with democrats and independents and republicans obviously the way we did in new hampshire. but to say i'm the weakest candidate i think is a distortion of reality. if you talk to all the people all of a sudden, a lot of people would like to make it sounds like i wouldn't be able to be competitive with barack obama. but i'm the candidate they knowledge challenge him on foreign policy. all the promises he made and never followed through. all the promises he made on the protection of privacy and the change of laws at home. the base -- on its because it's very, very weak. they are disenchanted with him.

there is no reason why i can't maintain the base of the republican party because i'm a fiscal conservative. i'm the only one who talked about cutting any spending. megyn: got to run. thank you so much for being here. all the best. we'll be right back. more and more folks are trying out snapshot from progressive. a totally different way to save on car insurance. the better you drive, the more you can save. no wonder snapshot's catching on. plug into the savings you deserve with snapshot from progressive.

that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8.

megyn: an alarming study raises questions about a possible link between our diets and one of the deadliest forms of cancer. eating a small amount of processed meat every day can significantly raise your risk of pancreatic cancer. this is one of the most deadly forms. it tend to take your life rather quickly. now they are saying bacon,

sausage, ham. is it just pork products or is it processed meaft any kind? >> processed meaft any kind but they looked mainly at sausage and bacon. pancreatic cancer has a 5% five-year survival rate. normally i can't even diagnose it until it's too late. you have a little weight loss, maybe some back pain. we don't want to increase the risk of this. this study looked at 6,000 people. it's a swedishi study. it found a 20% increase in pancreatic cancer for people who had one piece of bacon or sausage a day. megyn: i'm sure a lot of our viewers have a ham sandwich once a week.

is it turkey from the deli? >> they didn't study that. processed meat means hot dog, bacon be something that involves processing. megyn: how about burgers? they say a small burger increased your risk by 38%. >> they didn't find the same thing in women so they are not sure what to make of that. with the sausage and the bacon when they doubled it and you had two pieces 6 sausage a day -- two pieces of sausage a day it increased your rate. the more sausage, the more bacon, the more hot dogs, the more processed foods. red meat also but we are not sure. megyn: kids like hot dogs. it's something to consider when feeding your child. before i let you know, i want to talk to you about these girls

with the turret-like symptoms. they are not telling the parents what it is. you say you have a theory in what may have caused the it. >> i have almost no doubt about this but i can't profit. if the kids know, they can tell their parents. but from a public health point of view there is an obligation if there is something in the school for everybody to know about it. you can't keep it under wraps it joaferls privacy. i think it's chronic strep infections. it's a chronic strep infection that causes infection, it can cause ticks. it's treated by antibiotics. it takes a long time to get rid of it. megyn: if you have got a 12-year-old patient -- there is

no hippa violation in telling her parents what's wrong with her. the pediatrician gives the information to the parents. >> you should do a "kelly's court" on this. if it's a teenager we try to protect patient privacy. you might imagine with sexually transmitted diseases we don't always tell the parent. if the teen says i don't want my parent informed we try to protect that. but not if there is a public health risk. megyn: that's an interesting case. dr. sealing, thank you very much. team obama's new campaign technique. our panel weighs in next. a community deeply divide. a girl complain being this prayer banner that hung in a high school for nearly half a century and now a judge has issued a ruling. we'll tell you what's about to happen. >> this country was founded to be a secular country.

offensive. >> reporter: it was written by a student 50 years ago, now the student with the help of the aclu was trying to get this thing taken down. the school argued it is an historical artifact and had no religious purpose. the student says she lost a lot of friend during this fight about it was worth it. >> this country was founded to be a secular country. we are supposed to keep church and state separate. i think this lawsuit is a reflection of that. >> reporter: a lot of students and their parents and form

jobless workers in the shadows of a closed down steel mill. mitt romney made millions closing down steel mills. joining us to discuss it, lars larson and leslie marshall. so the president who said, you know, just the other day, they said he spend only 5% of his time worrying about his reelection and he's not campaigning. his campaign staff and they are taking direct aim at mitt romney trying to draw a clear contrast. is it effective? >> i don't think it's effective. americans look at this president and say where did the jobs go? the president says i made 3 million jobs. the problem is the numbers don't work. during the last three years the country has lost over 2 million jobs net. the president is saying if it hadn't been for me and the trillion dollars it would be $3 trillion worse. baloney. megyn: let me interrupt you.

i'm trying to get to the allegation in this memo. she seems to be focusing on before either man ran for office. that barack obama used his harvard degree for good and mitt romney used his harvard degree for greed. >> there is a problem with that because she says he spent his time helping. i don't know if he can point to one person and say i helped that guy get a job. but all he's doing is helping them find a job at an existing company. mitt romney at bain capital made jobs. 90,000 people at staples off a $5 million investment. when they took broken company and fixed their problems more people ended up employed. if some of those companies ended up going bankrupt, when you are trying to rescue broken companies you aren't going to be 100% successful. megyn: do you think the american people will hold it against mitt romney that he tried to make

some money and tried to make other people money in the investors at bane capital includes pension fund. are they going to hold that against him and say it's better to be a community organizer? >> i think some will. some who might be undecided. when you put yourself out there as governor romney has and said i'm going to run this country and i'm going to run the federal government like i ran my business in the private sector, but then get defensive when people attack that, you have got to put it out there. you can't claim to have created 100,000 jobs that people can't substantiate. he's running -- free enterprise is not running for president, mitt romney is running for president. and president obama i believe running against him has a responsibility to say, this is what my opponent is claiming, these are the facts that we have. this is what he has done, this

is what i have done, you decide. >> i want to tell you something, leslie. when you can point to 90,000 jobs sat triples alone before you get into any of the other companies that were started by or improved or expanded by bain capital how can you say that's not substantiated? there are 90,000 jobs at staples alone and that was a startup straight out of bain capital. >> fact check.org specifically states on their web site they cannot substantiate the 100,000. in addition let's look at how many factories they closed. how many offices and locations. this is a man 0 outsourced jobs. you will love him because he's going to cut cut cut. but when he cuts, thousands of americans will be out of work and unemployment will go up. megyn: leslie, what about the romney supporters have been drawing attention to the solyndra mess saying, president

obama wants us to believe he's somebody who will help people and not lose jobs. and they point to solyndra as president obama meddling and 1,100 people lost their jobs. >> no question. but you have to look at there are approximately 40 investments the government made of which the government was one. megyn: why doesn't that hold true for bain capital with a 3-1 success rate. >> there is a difference between having 1,100 people lose their jobs and saving 1.4 million jobs in the auto industry. i haven't seen mitt romney do that. when he was governor massachusetts, it ranked 47th out of 50. this man is saying, governor romney i'm going to do for america what i did in the private sector. in the private sector he and his fellow rich buddies got richer. he did not create jobs.

megyn: you are not -- you are mixing apples and oarngs in government time and private time. i don't know the record supports that statement. the question is what was the net win-loss. i don't know, lars. the white house is making an issue out of this. >> let me ask people if they think about itlogically. if you didn't make jobs. how did bain capital go to $0 billion in assets. you don't make money by buying broken companies and selling the trash to somebody. you have to do it by making some companies more successful. when you are buying broken companies you are not going to have 100% success. but let me suggest something about the president that shows how clueless he is. after he addressed solyndra he said you address one company and succeed and you invest in

another and you lose its. it's more like 1,000-1 in high-tech industry. this president doesn't have a clue and somebody ought to buy him one. megyn: he got married nearly a decade ago. then he waited years to sue the photographer from his wedding. he was dubbed groom-zilla. today he defends himself. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle --

reenact 15 minutes? $48,000? this is crazy. megyn: can you imagine if he won this and they had to recreate the wedding with the one he's divorced from? does that mean they are married again? he has to have the same facial expression on the first dance now that you are divorced. >> you guys are a little cynical today on friday. where is your sense of romance. this poor guy has been labeled groom-zilla. i have been known to collect a wedding video or two. he needs a stunt double to help him out. he paid the money, he wants it back. the problem is six years has past. the photography company should have done right by the guy. maybe he is sentimental. maybe he wants to watch the
