it for "fox & friends," thank you, juliet huddy. alisyn hitting the slopes and thanks, clayton. >> clayton: thanks. >> dave: tomorrow, donald trump, dana perino, 6:00 to 9:00. >> clayton: that's a wrap. >> eric: a "fox news alert." rapid new developments unfolding right now. as international concern mounts over iran's disputed nuclear program, announcing it is now cutting off oil shipments to britain and france, ahead of a planned european union boycott. looking at some in video coming in of iranian forces, engaged in the military exercises. this as tehran sends warships to the suez canal into the mediterranean as israel is vowing to protect itself. good morning, everyone, on this sunday morning, and welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric sean. >> jamie: i'm jamie colby. we'll take a big look at what that means with israel protecting itself and adding to

the concerns, diplomats say tehran may soon take uranium enrichment to a brand new level. that is a move that could potentially produce nuclear warheads, even faster. the us today is holding talks with israeli leaders about the latest developments. and our doug mcelway is live with more on that. hi, doug, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jamie. all of these developments clearly adding to the presents tensions, first, as you said, iran's oil ministry, says oil exports have been halted to britain and france, this appears to be part of a response by iran, to the european union's decision to boycott iranian oil, beginning in july. the eu accounts for 18% of iran's oil exports and on another front iranian ships moved through the suez canal and into the mediterranean sea saturday according to iran's official news agency. it said iran's naval chief, a show of might and mission of peace and the second time, the second passage through the suez canal by iranian ships since the 1979 islamic revolution.

elsewhere, israel's defense minister, ahud barak gave a nuanced endorsement of sanction against iran, saying as u.s. officials have, no options should be taken off the table. here he is. >> we feel the same. we feel it is still the time -- the time is still a time for even more tight ratcheting up tensions against iran, to include not just sanctions against the export of oil, but, sanctions against the central bank. >> reporter: sanctions against the central bank are not slated to take place until later this summer and there was a discussion of the nuclear program, and, there is discussion israel is planning military action, and the u.s. is determined to stave off military

attacks, saying it would be destabilizing according to general martin dempsey, who recently returned from a trip, a lot going on, between israel and iran and the u.s. and iran. >> jamie: no doubt. it is our top story today, thanks. >> eric: for more on the developments, fox news contributor and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., john bolton joins us now as he does every sunday, about this time, ambassador, good morning. >> glad to be here. >> eric: the reports about expanding uranium enrichment, why do you find it troubling? >> the expansion will take place in the fordo facility near the city of kum, designed to resist attack from the air and it is believed iran after a lot of effort mastered a new generation of centrifuges that can enrich uranium at a faster rate than those they had been using and those are the ones they would

install at the facility there. and what it shows in the face of all the chit-chat about economic sanctions is iran continues to march toward the long-sought objective of nuclear weapons. >> with the new development how quickly do you think they could potentially develop a nuclear warhead? >> i think very, very quickly. defense secretary panetta said they could do it within a year and i think they could do it less than that and have already, already by the reports of the iaea, much enriched uranium, for four weapons and, a few months to bring it up to weapons-grade and fashion the weapon itself. they could move quickly. what is interesting is the stately pace iran has been moving shows at least up until now have not feared effective u.s. action. and i think they are worried now, not about the united states but israel. >> eric: we heard ehud barak talk about that, saying the time is shortening. how do you take his remarks. >> if i were the defense

minister of israel i'd talk about sanctions and diplomacy and negotiation, anything other than defense. iran, obviously, has strategic warning of a possible attack and, unfortunately, our defense secretary, leon panetta gave the iranians tactical warning. >> eric: do you think there could be an attack, the guardian says, the u.s. officials believe sanctions will fail and there is potential talk about the possibility of an israeli strike, maybe in the fall. >> i think that is the most honest assessment and the israelis waited too long already and the risk of the military window closing, is very real. and i'm not sure they've gotten... i don't know what israel will do, but i don't think they want to miss the possibility of stopping this iranian effort, before iran actually gets nuclear weapons. because, if they miss, and iran does have the nuclear bomb the retaliation will be nuclear and devastating. >> eric: you talk about

retaliation, what about those, many who say any type of military strike would be catastrophic and you have to continue with negotiating. >> well that is a form of disillusion with reality. the fact is iran is so close to a nuclear weapon, nobody other than a magician could tell you when they will cross the line, certainly, an attack should be devastating on iran, but, let's be clear, the arab states of the middle east don't want iran to have a nuclear weapon any more than israel does. there will not be general war in the region, everybody sees iran that's big threat, only israel is even contemplating or capable of doing anything about that. >> eric: iran says now a new round of talks could be held in turkey, they say, quote, they are ready for dialogue. and they say, got, fundamental steps for sustained cooperation. hillary clinton, the secretary of state, says it is the one we have been waiting for. do you believe that this announcement from iran of

alleged new dialogue is the one we have been waiting for? >> well, iran is welcoming negotiations for about the 257th time in the last ten years and, the reason is clear. once these negotiations start, iran will be able to stay, look, we have a process underway here, we are engaged in serious diplomacy, stop the sanctions and for god's sake don't take military action. they have used negotiations incredibly successfully in the past, to buy time, to make progress on their nuclear weapons programs, and there is every indications they'll do it again, and there is every indication, as you said, hillary clinton has fallen for it. again. >> eric: u.s. ambassador, john bolton, thank you, always, for your analysis. this is raising tensions in the middle east, how ril israel respond to the claims. john bolton, coming up at the top of the next hour, we'll talk to former israeli ambassador to the united nations, daniel

gillerman on what he predicts and fears could happen. jamie? >> jamie: speaking of fears and other threats, north korea is stepping up its threats against its neighbor to the south, threatening to attack south korea, over the plans for military drills near the disputed seaboa border and, the say they'll go ahead with drills, and the north warning they'll consider it a reckless military provocation and beyond mercilessly. that sounds pretty serious, eric and you will remember the south conducted the similar drills they had in 2010, and north korea responded with a massive artillery bombardment which killed four south koreans. we'll keep an yea on that. -- an eye on that. >> eric: the vatican, archbishop timothy dalton elevated to cardinal. pope benedict xvi led the mass at st. peter's basilica and

presented the 22 members with their iconic red hat and a ring and the cardinals make up an elite group in the church and among other things are responsible for choosing a new hope. >> jamie: whitney houston's family will say a good-bye, that will take place today, buried next to her father, south of her childhood home in newark. touring a televised funeral she was given an elaborate send off by some of hollywood's biggest and most elite celebrities including bodyguard co-star kevin costner and mentor, clive davis. houston's ex-husband, bobby brown also attended the funeral, but, ended up leaving, minutes before it began. telling reporters outside he left after security asked him and his children to change seats on three separate occasions, adding security also prevented him from seeing his daughter with whitney houston, bobbi

kristina. >> eric: we're awaiting a verdict in the trial of a former lacrosse player accused of killing his ex-girlfriend. former university of virginia player george hubley faces life prison, now on trial for the beating death of yardley love in 2010, according to prosecutors she stormed into her apartment, slamming her head against the wall, during a violent argument, leaving her to die. jurors have the option of finding him guilty of the lesser charge of involuntary or -- voluntary manslaughter. >> jamie: we are keeping an eye on america's election headquarters, on the unpredictable g.o.p. race, and it is fueling concerns among republicans over who will face president obama, when it comes time for the general election. the potential and political landscape, right now, shifting dramatically. look at this: for some perspective, mid december the real clear politics average poll showed newt

gingrich holding a huge lead. remember that? fast forward to january. mitt romney, way out in front. and, then, february, rick santorum, is on top. there is growing concern now, the possibility of a brokered convention and that is when a candidate fails to obtain a majority of delegates on the first convention ballot. the usual result of a brokered convention, a round of feverish insider bargaining with everything from ambassadorships to cabinet posts, offered to the political players, who can deliver the delegates that are necessary for a candidate to actually secure the nomination. how did the g.o.p. get to this point? this go-around? joining us, editor of "campaigns and elections magazine." shane, good to see you. >> thanks, jamie. >> jamie: let me ask you how we got here looking at the different wins and primaries. where are we, exactly? >> i mean, i think just when you thought this race for the nomination couldn't get any more volatile, it seems like it

potentially could. you know, i mean, the bottom line is that mitt romney has simply been unable to consolidate the support of conservatives. there was some thought that, you know, with a big win in new hampshire, and, then, a big win out of florida, he could potentially do that. and, get some other folks out of the race, that hasn't happened. and, it has gotten worse for him in the past couple of weeks. when you look at his opponents there is no reason for ron paul, rick santorum or newt gingrich to leave the race, they have motivation to stay in until the convention and the question is how long will the process drag out and does the party establishment, elite of the republican party start to seek a potential new entrant into the race, if mitt romney can't consolidate the voters? >> jamie: how important is super tuesday? >> i think super tuesday is critical and for mitt romney, even more critical is michigan. on the 28th. i think if mitt romney does not

win michigan, a state where his father was a popular governor, where he grew up, that is an enormous problem for his campaign. and, you could potentially make the argument, after that, that if santorum wins michigan, mitt romney is getting weaker as the process goes along and that is not what you want in your republican nominee and not somebody republicans want to have face barack obama. so, if mitt romney cannot find a way to turn it around and win michigan. i think the question of a brokered convention, contested convention, whatever you want to call it's a much more saliently question. >> jamie: you mentioned four candidates remain and no reason for them to drop out. maybe it goes all the way to convention and there are at least four names coming up, as possible new candidates, that might join in, certainly, former florida governor jeb bush, mitch daniels, paul ryan and a lot of excitement about chris christie still. a week before the florida primary i had a chance to sit

down with former florida governor jeb bush and actually asked about that and it is track you bring that up, here's what he said: >> i -- this was probably my time and i intend to stay involved as long as my voice is heard, but i doubt i will be a candidate. >> jamie: how many times in the last week have you heard brokered convention. >> i heard it but that is an unbelievable scenario and it would be hard to achieve that. >> jamie: out of the question? >> no, you could do it if all four candidates stay in. >> jamie: has the party asked you to step in? >> no. no. >> jamie: what role would you want to play? >> even now, to be honest with you, if president obama asked me to do something and it didn't violate my principles, i would do it. >> jamie: jeb bush, at the top of the list when it comes to the potential for a brokered convention and what is your interpretation of what he said. would he do it? >> i don't think there is any doubt that jeb bush is at the top of the list. i think that he is perhaps the only potential candidate who could come in, prior to the

convention or potentially at the convention and actually consolidate support of the party, in terms of would he do it, i think jeb bush has been cautious enough in his answers, he certainly has not ruled anything out. and i think there is something to potentially be said for that. >> jamie: what happens at that point to the other candidates if there were a brokered convention and someone else steps in and is sarah palin in there as well? >> well, i think sarah palin's potentially in there to the extent she wants to be in there. i think the idea of a deadlocked convention, you have to realize that anything could happen at that point, it is complete chaos for lack of a better way to describe it and you have delegates on the floor of the republican convention and remember a lot of them are delegates, these delegates' slates are set by the candidates and you don't necessarily know what will happen, if you have got all four candidates on the floor of the convention and delegates who perhaps feel strongly about their candidate

and you have a deadlock scenario, if no candidate has come in prior to the convention and sort of won a couple of late primaries and paved the way for themselves, i think it is significantly harder for somebody to walk onto the convention stage out of nowhere, given the makeup of the delegates, who they would be facing. i think that is a scenario for potential disaster for the parties. because i don't know how you come out with an actual consensus candidate from that. >> jamie: interesting, thanks for the perspective, why politics is so interesting to watch and could change with the next few races. we'll keep an eye on it, thanks, have a great day. serving and guess who is on fox news sunday, this morning, newt gingrich and get a llooad of wh he has to say, chris wallace will join us with news on his chat with the former speaker. coming up next. business right here in schenectady. without the stuff that we make here, you wouldn't be able to walk in your house and flip on your lights.

>> eric: two upcoming republican primaries could sort out the front-runners in the republican race and one of those upcoming contests is in michigan. which of course is mitt romney's home state. he's currently trailing rick santorum in some polls there. the former governor romney vows he will not lose his home state.

but, this morning, fooon fox ne newt gingrich said, losing michigan cobb fatal to his campaign. >> the rationale built on his ability to win, and he has not been able to win, if he loses his home state and i assume they'll throw the kitchen sink at santorum, because that is the mitt romney style, they lose their home, i don't see what he says the next morning to his donors to stay in the race. >> eric: joining us in the anchor of fox news sunday, chris wallace. >> good morning. >> eric: bold statements from newt gingrich, he says if mitt romney loses michigan he should drop out of the race. >> what makes it bolder, i asked, because the next week, georgia, newt gingrich's home state, part of super tuesday and i said, by the same reasoning, if you lose your home state and he said, look, i will not drop out but i think it would be enormously damaging to my campaign. i have to win georgia, so you have an interesting situation here and now the latest polls indicate santorum is leading in

georgia, just as he is in michigan. you know, we'll see. it has been the craziest presidential campaign i ever covered, the volatility here and santorum potentially could deliver knockout blows to mitt romney in michigan and to newt gingrich in georgia. >> eric: absolutely right, it is one of the craziest campaigns with the ups and downs and newt is to the going anywhere, sheldon adelson is contributing more to the super-pac. if he stays in, what do you think will happen. >> he has been the front-runner twice and down twice and he said who is to say it will not happen again but i'll give you this interesting point, growing reporting here in washington, some top republican and this is based on and if, if he loses, it goes out the window if mitt romney holds onto michigan but

the growing reporting that republicans are growing concerned, in mitt romneys loses michigan, he will be mortally wounded and there is concern, the others could not beat obama, they might bring in a late name into the race, former governor jeb bush, not that he'd have the time, given the filing deadlines to win the nomination himself, but that he could pick up enough delegates, because some states with the filing deadline, not closed yet, california, texas, new jersey, could throw it to the convention and have an open, contested convention in august, and as a political reporter and i speak for you, in this regard, wouldn't that be great? >> eric: wow, jamie discussed that from her interview with the former governor, jeb bush and you have been around a long time, and, what would that mean? if there were a brokered convention? >> well it would mean things are up for grabs and would mean that this is a party that is desperate to beat barack obama,

is not convinced any of these guys can do it and it would be happening in real time in front of all of our cameras. i don't think it will be a brokered convention in the sense that, there would be five guys in a room, smoke-filled room, deciding that, that doesn't exist in american politics anymore. but you would have a variety of candidates, each with, you know, hundreds of delegates, trying to make deals, and it would just be the most extraordinary thing. let me quickly say, i know you are running out of time, in addition to an exclusive interview with newt gingrich, interesting interview on our show we have an exclusive interview with house majority leader eric cantor. the white house is saying, well, we are basically done legislating for the year now that we have the payroll tax hike extension, the republicans are not done and he has a bold agenda and he says we'll propose ideas to get the economy going again, just up to the white house to agree to them. >> eric: politics and policy, you have everything this morning, great to see you and what a race. thanks so much. >> thank you, eric.

>> jamie: i'm grateful to be back for sunday house call, a whole week i was on my own trying to be healthy and joining us, dr. david samadi the vice

chairman of the department of urology and chief of row box at the mt. sinai medical center. >> and dr. marc siegel from the langone medical center and, author of "the inner pulse, unlocking the secret code of sickness and health." >> jamie: easy to be healthy when you are not right by or side. we'll get back on track. >> eric: the first topic has to do with your teeth an oral health and it is important for your teeth and doctors claim getting your teeth cleaned regularly could have an effect on your overall health. specifically, getting a heart attack or stroke, getting your teeth cleaned more often can protect your heart? >> a fascinating topic. we thought of teeth as more prosthesis, for the look of it, but, now more and more we are learning from cardiologists, especially from american heart association, that keeping your teeth healthy, is actually healthy for your heart and

another study came out from taiwan and, said like visiting your dentist once every two years can reduce the risk of heart disease, 24% and the risk of stroke 13%. how does it work, everything starts from the inflammation or, gingivitis and you bush and see some of that blood and the inflammation eventually becomes periodontal disease, which affects over 75% of americans. and inflammation gets into our system and we have talked about the disease of the arteries, forming plaque and eventually heart disease and stroke and if you want to break the cycle, you have to take care of your teeth, and the recommendations are, visit your dent iist every six months, brush twice a day, flossing is important and make sure that you get rid of the toothbrush every three months, even if it looks good, because of the bacterial growth in the

brush. >> eric: they talk about going twice a year to get your teeth cleaned. how about more? some people i know go three times a year. >> at least twice a year and by the way, 75% of americans have some kind of gum disease and as david said, there is an increasing volume of literature in the periodontal literature and cardiac literature, both gum disease and heart disease have inflammation, and they seem to share the same bacteria. it is not a cause-and-effect. we cannot prove gum disease causes heart disease but we are getting close. and, as an internist that actually forces myself to look into the mouth of every patient, make sure your doctor looks in your mouth, not juster dentist, receding gum lines, we look for bleeding on gums. diabetics, smokers, all of you have to be on particular attention to your gums, again, gum disease is extremely important, it is very prominent and probably correlates to heart

disease and microbians and, see your dentist, regularly. >> eric: makes sense, don't get the germs into your body. >> jamie: we'll do that, for sure and here's one for the ladies. if you use lipstick the feds found that 400 of the most popular lipstick brands contain some levels of lead. and i'm shocked. i'm not into lead, i don't think, right? >> how often do you apply your lipstick every day. >> jamie: that is an unfair question in my line of work. but all week while i was away on vacation. no lipstick. was i healthier then? >> maybe. because, women lick their lips all day long and it brings the lipstick into the system and why i'm pointing that out. the fda says you cannot have more than .1 parts per million of lead in candy but when it comes to lipstick they set no standards and the color you add to lipstick, a new study look at 400 lipsticks and found they go from 1 part per million up to 7

parts per million and, a doctor in denmark involved in the european standards told me no amount of lipstick -- of lead is safe, because of the developing brain. because you don't know if a woman is pregnant. what is happening to the fetus. now, i don't want to scare home out there. but i think the fda needs to look at it more closely and would like to see uniform standards applied to candy and lipstick and i don't think the long term risks of this amount of lead are established but i don't like any amount. it can lead to developmental problems and problems with thinking. >> jamie: basically any lead in lipstick is bad? firstly, how did it get there in the first place? it's not regulated. >> all the additives they put on it and the history goes back to 1990 and it is important to mention, adults now, today, fda announces, there is no real health hazard with lead in lipstick. that is very important, the only

danger is to the kids and children, because they can cause central nervous system, mental retardation, developmental issues and for women, since there is no upper limit how much lead you can have, the left has been going up and up and up and is there any danger? you are not at any risk or chewing on those lipsticks, putting it on the lipstick. i wouldn't worry about it. the surprising part was, some of the expensive lipsticks you see you are getting better quality have a higher level of lead and look at some of those inexpensive lipsticks and maybe... >> jamie: is it posted. >> on fda lists and you can look at all 400 lipsticks but i wouldn't panic at this point. >> jamie: thank you. >> eric: coming up, new information on a common type of cancer that affects tens of thousands of us, symptoms and risks that you need to look out for and, shocking new numbers on how many people are eating too much salt. which foods are the biggest culprits.

>> eric: back sith sunday house -- with "sunday house call" and the doctors, the 6th most common cancer, it is bladder cancer and what is it and what are the risks and the treatments? dr. samadi? what it is and how do you avoid it? bladder cancer is a serious health hazard. it affects over 70,000 people, and, it affects men over women, 3-to-1 ratio and kills 14,000 people in 2012 and it is a serious cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer among men, starting with lung cancer, prostate number 2, colon cancer and right there is bladder cancer. the best way that it presents itself is painless, blood in

urine and there are other things that can cause that, talking about kidney stones, and, kidney cancer, and, a urinary tract infection but when i see blood in the urine, it is bladder cancer until proven otherwise and we diagnose it, looking inside the bladder and the bladder cancer looks like a broccoli or cauliflower hanging on the wall of the bladder and the treatment is removal of the tumor, if superficial the cure rate is excellent and if it is deeper, unfortunately we have to remove the entire bladder and that is an extensive operation, and the higher risk for bladder cancer is, number one? smoking. smoking is number one risk factor, for bladder cancer and the other thing, if you quit today, the effect of smoking is going to be in your system for the next 10 to 15 years and if you listen to the program,

please stop smoking in order to prevent bladder cancer. >> eric: and i would suggest, too much alcohol, maybe, it is the bladder? >> yes. and if you work in industrial areas, textiles, dyes are a problem, smoking, arsenic in the water is currently studied, in a new england bladder cancer study and when people see their primary care doctor, make sure he or she checks the urinals and, doctors drew your blood and did an ekg and how they are done and sometimes the blood in the this urine can be microscopic and you may not be able to see it but i am under a microscope and radiation after prostate cancer, treatment with radiation, if you have prostate cancer and it is treated with radiation there is a 5% incidence of bladder cancer after that, you should be told that when considering what treatment for prostate cancer you will get. >> eric: does the standard urine test pick up potentially bladder cancer. >> it will tell me something is wrong, you have protein in the urine or blood in the urine i

refer you to a urologist like dr. samadi who takes it from there. >> jamie: very good. another thing you might want to think about is how much sodium you eat. it is in a lot of foods you might not expect. in fact, it is in a lot of the most common foods we're eating which accounts for 44% of all the sodium we eat, so it's not just dr. siegel the salt shaker. >> a big report came out of the cdc that says that the top ten foods that are loaded with salt are responsible for 44% of the problem, number one on the list is bread. 80% of the problem comes from eating bread. now, americans are eating about 3.3 grams of sewodium a day ande are supposed to have 2.3 grams, 90% of americans are eating way too much salt and it causes heart disease and stroke and heart failure and is well established. other things on the list, bread and rolls, cold cuts, pizza, poultry, soups. >> jamie: diet soda?

>> absolutely, it is lower on the list than you might expect. number one is bread and pizza is way up there and cold cuts, cheese is a huge offender. people are eating cheese thinking i'm not getting any salt. you are getting a ton from cheese. >> jamie: i thought, dr. samadi, unless you had high blood pressure, like that was the only time you had to worry about salt. >> you know, we are taking in too much salt and not realizing it. when i saw the list and saw potato chips and french fries all the way down and bread on top. i was really surprised. because, we're taking this kind of goods that don't look salty but have a lot of salt in them, processed meat and all of that stuff and your point is well taken. if you have diabetes, if you have kidney disease, you really want to go down to about 1200 milligrams of salt a day. by itself, that would save us about $20 billion of health costs in this country. we're just consuming too much and, taking salt you absorb more water with that, that is equal to high blood pressure, and heart disease, what my

recommendation is, look at the labels and how much you are taking in. you take three cans of soup to have totally different amounts of salt and, also, cut the portion. that is the biggest problem we have in this country. >> jamie: 1200 milligrams, is a a teaspoon, a tablespoon. >> you have excellent question, 2400 milligrams a day is a teaspoon, half of that. >> half a teaspoon. >> all we need, if you have high blood pressure or diabetes and for the rest of america, we need one teaspoon a day, is enough. >> jamie: tough for a lot of folks. >> eric: avoided the salt. a new magic pill, the story that could change everything you think you know about losing weight. i have copd. if you have it, you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

my four cups of daily coffee and drink a liter of diet soda every day. some of my friends insist artificial sweeteners are bad for one's health. please settle this." we have heard about artificial sweeteners for years. >> before we get into this, i want to look at what this gentleman or patient is doing. four cups of coffee is okay, but make sure you cut down on the cream and the sugar. right off the bat. liter of soda a day cannot be good for anybody, because it can cause dental cavities and osteoporosis, et cetera. look at the sweetener, there are mixed facts and data out there. there has been a lot of talk and under juteny maybe it -- scrutiny. maybe it causes cancer but it's never been proven. if someone wants to lose weight it may be one option but not sure it is the best option. hit the gym and cutting down portions is better than taking the sweeteners. sorry, but you can also increase the dopamine level

that can long-term cause depression and migraine headaches. watch out, don't take it for a long time. >> i agree if you use sweeteners use them in moderation. there are animal studies that maybe show in mice increasing rate of leukemia. overall, no consensus that sweeteners increase the rate of cancer. there is no consensus that sweeteners help you lose weight. diabetics have to use them. but they can increase cravings and if you increase cravings you gain weight and that defeats the purpose. i wouldn't be frightened of them. don't use them as the sole way to lose weight. >> eric: all right. doctors, thank you. >> jamie: great advice. we have more next week, too. if you have a question for the doctors send your e-mail to housecall@foxnews.com. for those interested in more information about the housecall segment or the previous shows that docs have done, log on to

warheadment joining us, former ambassador, dan gillerman. good morning. >> good morning, jamie. good to be with you. >> jamie: great to see you. i know you are in tel aviv, slight delay. let me start with this, israeli defense minister calling for crippling sanctions against iran. what sanctions would be so crippling they would halt or suspend in some way their nuclear program? >> quite frankly, i'm not sure any sanctions are going to work anymore. time is running out. the clock is ticking. as you said, iran is racing toward a bomb. we just heard yesterday the iranians said they are waiting to talk. i must say i was amazed by the excitement this caused in the united states. i saw the secretary of state

practically jumping for joy. the european union practically dancing for joy. and you know, i asked myself, what weakness, what more weakness is the world going to show iran to make this greater. they are killing thousands with a butcher in damascus. blowing up bombs in india and georgia and thailand. all you have to say, maybe you will talk. guess who is coming to dinner? iranians. so i really think that time for diplomacy is running out. even the time for sanctions, however crippling is running out. what is needed is for the united states and the rest of the world show strength and resilience and make iranians understand they mean business. unless they stop the crippling is going to come, not as a

result of sanctions but result of a resolute military action by the united states and the rest of the world. to make sure this rogue regime does not acquire the lethal weapons. >> jamie: in the past, ambassador gillerman, you have been very clear that israel is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep israelis safe against the threat of a nuclear bomb from iran. ambassador bolton that served as the former u.s. ambassador, you as the former israeli ambassador, agreed with you in a sense that time is really passing. here is what he had to say. i want to get your comments. >> israelis have waited too long already. i think the risk of the military window closing is very real. i'm not sure they've got until the fall. i don't know what israel will do. >> jamie: ambassador gillerman, tell me again and if your opinions change. what will israel do and when?

>> i am happy to agree what ambassador bolton. a great friend. israel could wish for no greater friend and the u.s., no greater patriot. but agree. the window is closing and iran is close to the moment of no return when they had acquired the knowledge and capacity to produce a nuclear bomb. and in a world in which iran has this bomb, would be an ugly, brutal, world none of us want to live in. civilization will be under threat. they have the capacity and the range to do it. if no one else does, i believe israel will act, because no israeli prime minister will be elected to preside over a second holocaust, which is what ahmadinejad and his crew from iran is planning. i assure you that unless the rest of the world stands up, and led by the united states shows iran it means business. if it doesn't stop, it will

act, israel will have no option but to act. as i said before, we may be condemned for it. at the end of the day i'd rather have the world condemn growing israel than condemn dying israel. including the advisor who is in israel right now, stop explaining to israel or threatening israel about the consequences of an action, military action in iraq. stop threatening the iranians about the threat if they don't stop the quest for nuclear weapons. weapons. >> jamie: ambassador, gillerman, talks. iran says they want to talk. they will happen in turkey. any potential for success? >> i don't think there is any potential for success. the iranians are masters at wasting time and playing the clock.

they have done it before. the talks with them are frustrating. i think as we'll see as yogi berra said deja vu again. same thing with north korea. talks and talks and talks. the results was north korea with a nuclear weapon. as the world woke up to nuclear north korea, if they allow talks to go on indefinitely, and they will, they will wake up to nuclear iran. iran wants to talk in order to waste time. nuclear iran is more dangerous than nuclear north korea. north korea acquired nuclear weapons out of desperation. iran is seeking them for aspiration to rule the arab world and terrorize humanity. we are watching with thousands of butchered. it's a preview of what the world would look like and how horrible it would be if the regime acquired nuclear weapons.

there is no way that the world should allow it. i have no expectation from the folks. >> jamie: ambassador gillerman saying israel is ready, willing and capable. good to see you. >> eric: he mentioned syria. more trouble on that front to tell you about. egypt withdrawing the ambassador from syria. violence is getting worse by the day. opposition forces and military defectors continue to battle assad regime troops. growing conflict, some say pushing syria closer to civil war. contributor dominic di-natale is streaming live from beirut. dominic? >> indeed. coming to the government of damascus, itself. we have saw a massive protest. what started out as a funeral march turn to a massive show.

opposition from the regime on the doorstep. government force opened fire in the crowd. the funeral took place today in heavy security. 12 pickup trucks with security forces are out in the city, patrolling the neighborhood where the demonstration took place. there is random arrests. they're not expecting so much opposition directly outside government building and in the government quarter itself. homs is coming under further pressure. activists there say the conservative ground troops move in, all-out massacre and all-out slaughter. so far, small number of deaths in the city. they target the neighborhood where we have seen a focus point of the opposition fighters. all of this comes a day after chinese envoy left the

country, having president bashar assad saying he supported the regime, but wants to see an end to the violence. cynicism in the community about that. we hear from the u.s. senators they need to circumvent the like of china. senator lindsey graham had this to say a short while ago. >> we have to form a track outside the united nations, using the arab league of the center of gravity. put on the table economic and humanitarian systems with also the possibility of arms being provided at a later date. this is a moment in time to replace assad with something new that would be crippling blow to iraq. >> eric, a week today, president bashar assad will stage a referendum on a multiparty system. the opposition said they are going to boycott it.

navy seals, grenade is thrown. he jumps on it with his body. it explodes under him. and the blood just starts pooling out. he does it to save his comrades. that really happened. >> yeah, really important thing about this film, everything you see happened to a seal in this film has happen to a seal on the battlefield in the last ten years. they're stories you wouldn't believe unless you knew it was true. heroheros in "act of valor" is important. who would do that? who would take a bullet for the brother? they would. it needs to be passed on to the american public so people think about being heroic in the daily lives. >> eric: hollywood didn't want to make the film when it first came up? you had to finance it yourself? >> yeah. think about it. we were trying to pitch to hollywood we didn't have stars in the movie. we had heroes. finally, thank god they saw the lightbulb. it really was an independent film on our behalf and we enjoyed that process. it turned out for the better. >> eric: scott waugh, mike

barack obama is headed in the wrong direction. he can't argue for that anymore. what he has to do, though, is be optimistic and realistic. the reality is the economy is going to probably sink again at some point in the next year. if he is going to come up with a theme, it has to build in the cake the fact that the economy is still not as strong as it should be after four years of his leadership. frankly, remember recovery summer when they branded the summer after stimulus was going to be a great era where unemployment would go below 8%? exactly. it didn't exist. they have to careful to manage expectations of the american people based on the agenda for this year. >> eric: sally how do you feel of this slogan being retired? >> tony makes great point why it's hard to keep running on change. the president is right to look for a new slogan. it has to make two points. that is laying out for americans the choice we as a country face going forward. one is a chis of putting

solutions on the table, versus trying to sabotage solutions, stop things, tax cuts or whatever. the majority of independent voters, some of us agree with this, majority of independent voters while barack obama may be not enjoying high popularity ratings, republica republicans in congress are way less popular right now because it's seen as stopping, even in fact the conservative politician when the president puts them forth. solutions not sabotage is the first part. then i think look, we're on the right road. a slow road. the economy is getting better. what the president needs to outline is what kind of future we're growing and improving toward. are we going to have an economy that works for the top 1 of 1% or an economy that works for working people and everyone? i think those are the differences he needs to outline, this which is what at stake at the election. >> eric: solutions, not

sabotage. there is a suggestion. look at recent ones. 2004, george bush won re-election with "yes, america can." bill clinton "building a bridge to the 21st century." ronald reagan "morning in america again." what do you suggest for the new slogan, tony? >> aim not paid to give -- i am not paid to give democratic candidates free advice. i'll allow sally, my it withier counterpart come up with the -- wittier counterpart to come up with the funny things to say. republicans in congress have a perception problem. but the president is not running against republicans in congress. he is running against an eventual nominee who will have to take the ball and run with it. articulate why they are a better alternative to the stagnation in the economy. unemployment has not meaningful gone down. i understand the reason it's

gown is more have less jobs created because it's not gro growing. a republican candidate has to articulate economic message that has a clearer alternative than the republicans. >> eric: the fox poll shows in the swing state that president obama is leading. down by five points. santorum down by 12. sally? >> look, the reality is nobody, the president, nobody, nobody is paying attention. this is a hardtime for everyone. the hope is hope for the future. that is what any candidate has to be running on. the bumper sticker slogan that the president should use is "work with me." what is he is saying to the american people and the republican party is look, the next four years we have to keep working together to put the solutions on the table and pass solutions and make progress as opposed to trying

to stop me the president and every idea i put forward. >> eric: that has to be the last word due to time constraint. >> thank you. >> eric: four more years. >> no. >> jamie: the problem with those two, they never have anything to say. i don't get it. with the price of gas on the rise and it could get even worse when the spring driving season begins. that is what we're hearing. how bad the price hikes might get. it will pinch consumers. will you spend and staying home? ok! who gets occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas or bloating? get ahead of it! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day helps defend against digestive issues with three strains of good bacteria.

there. the main objective is to force the pentagon to lift the ban on women in combat. accordingly, the political correctness infecting the pentagon resulted in silly and dishonest fairy tales about female heroism. has anyone forgotten the jessica lunch story? pfc captured by the iraqis and by all accounts, including her own, not mistreated. yet the pentagon sought to send in seals to rescue her from a hospital in videotape operation that seemed headed straight to hollywood. there are countless other stories of heroism or -- fake heroism or prowess where women are the stars, many of them tailored for "new york times" and its agenda to promote militant feminism. no matter what the truth. >> eric: well, you know, you were the first woman network news reporter in vietnam. you were fired at. you were out there living with the troops. did you feel threatened?

>> dragging out credentials is not something i feel comfortable doing but this demands it. it did three tours of duty in vietnam in the 1960s a correspondent for nbc news. troops in combat are what i covered. troopsly always admire and support because of this experience. i also covered israeli troops in combat during the yom kippur roar in 1973. the british army in the northern ireland trouble in the 1970s. the india-pakistan war in 1971. the grenada invasion in 1983, et cetera, et cetera. in those days you see networks have the money and commitment to send correspondents to wherever a shot was fired. covering combat was very much on the foreign correspondent daily menu. there is an enormous difference between covering war as a correspondent, and fighting it as a soldier. so my outlook is one of reporter and china.

in china we lived and ate with the troops. and they earned my respect and returned it. there was no embedding, no censorship. we were to room free in area of -- roam free of area of operation. as a result i'm sensitive to needs of sources and the political chicanery of the feminist left. the military is not a social services operation. or a testing ground for gender wars. it's a fighting machine. yet, male troops are uncovering the reality of feminist biology. women are not as strong as men. theiring stinct and reaction -- instinct and reaction to crisis are markettedly different. a reality that the left will not face. biology is destiny. >> eric: then why do you think some people took the marks offensive? >> well, the reason is firstly, most have no experience with the suggest. making war is deadly unforgiving business by necessity. the atmosphere, moral and

visceral to hot house of adrenaline and close-up violence. secondly, many supporters of women in conflict conflate this issue with issues of women right to choose. women's right to control their bodies. et cetera, et cetera in the feminist creed. there is no such thing as a difference between men and women to way they see it. why do you suppose the basic training requirements are less demanding for women? it's not fair and it's dangerous. underlie this is the reality that experience of combat is a must for military promotion. so career schism major factor of defense of women in combat. if you want to advance in the army, navy, marine corps air force, get with the program. >> eric: among the criticism, the vietnam veterans groups are enraged that you would con dome criminal acts. "time" magazine blog said you "essentially were saying all

military men are rapists." what are your reactions to the comments dand you feel that you were misunderstood? >> very much so. i certainly did not say all military men are rapists. what i believe and tried to express, apparently not well enough, is that the environment of combat by definition sets up a situation where basic instincts rule. the niceties of male/female interaction fade in this aren arena. and any scientist will tell you testosterone rules. if common sense won't be applied to question of women in forces, consider the escalating incidence of sexual abuse at the three military academies. if that is not enough, how about a report released last month by the pentagon indicating a 64% increase in violent, sexual assault in the army since 2006. while the report said there were 3,191 reports of sexual assault last year, secretary

leon panetta added that realistically, the number is probably around 19,000. his answer to the problem is better training for military lawyers as well as sexual counselors and expansion of the never enough bureaucracy that exists to support women victimvictims in the armed forc. these are facts. not emotions. while i defend my critics' right to their opinions, they should be inform by facts and nothing less. >> eric: there is no question that all men and women who risk their lives to protect rus to be admired and certainly deserve every protection we can give them. >> the best protection would be to pry open the subject for honest discussion. why won't the pentagon release the annual number of pregnancies among women in forces? especially those in the field? why is there not a study on how children react when mommy goes off to war and sometimes both mommy and daddy. everyone talks about the american family shattering but

will not face what is happening to the forces for fear of again, political correctness. before we start throwing money at ways to support the feminist idea, stop the hypocrisy and see the facts. something is drastically wrong and men and women are the irrational claims of angry feminists. if the subject of women in combat can't be given an open hearing, it's left to journalist to do their homework and discuss it honestly. they might even consider what former marine corps commandant general robert barro told congress in 1991. he said, "women give life, sustain life, nurture life. they don't take it." >> eric: liz, thank you. >> thank you. >> eric: we'll be right back. hello, how can i deliver world-class service for you today ? we gave peopleight off the street a script and had them read it. no, sorry, i can't help you with that.

>> eric: connecting the dots of a possible serial killer in new york. a man discovers human remains walking his dog in manorville, on long island near the hamptons. it's where four bodies were found, two beheaded and cut up in pieces between 2000 and 2003. it's the connection to the mystery along the local beach that is drawing concern.

and live in new york city, with the latest. anna? >> hey, eric. sefolk county inspector says it's -- su folk county inspector says it's too early to determine if they're connected to the other remains. but it adds to mistieria in eastern end of long island. a man walking his dog made a discovery around 6:30 friday night and said it was an entire body but it looked like the corpse decomposed years ago because trees were growing up through it. >> it appeared to be wrapped in bed sheets and in large garbage bags, duct tape around and laid out scare. when i first saw it, i saw the top of the skull out. >> police say the state's condition suggests it was dumped five years ago, but they are bringing in experts to identity the age, gender and identity of the person. >> the department brought in

anthropologist from new york city to help evaluate the remains and assist the suffolk county crime lab with the removal. >> the area has been used as a dumping ground before. the remains of two men were discovered in that same wooded area in 2000 and 2003. manorville was the place someone dumped pieces of two dismembered women and eight other corpses along a long stretch of beach highway. one of the women whose body partly found in the area has been identified as a 20-year-old new york city woman named jess isca taylor. her torso was found four miles from the site of friday's discovery. we will keep you updated on the investigation as it unfolds. >> eric: thank you, anna. ♪ ♪ >> jamie: congress agreeing to extend the payroll tax cut, but rising gas prices could burn through any money that the tax cut put in your pocket. here with more, bulls and bears anchor, brenda buttner. fellow driver. what are we going to do?

>> here is the issue. most people won't notice the payroll tax cut bass they already had it. gas prices are going up. the highest they have ever been at this time of year. refineries are closing down. then demand is set to gear up, as we enter the summer driving season. and we've got supply disruption. we have a while issue with iran, so a lot of people think gas prices are definitely going up. that we might even see $5 a gallon gas. by the end of the year. this is hitting our gdp only. only a 25 a cent a gallon increase for a year could take off .2 of a percent off the gdp. it seems like a drop in the bucket. but when you are below 3% gdp it could really almost send us back to a recession. this is quite serious. >> jamie: may not even be growth in the economy we need

as a result of this. quick question, what price do you think americans will tolerate? >> it's hard to say. anytime we get over $3.50, near $4 we have seen historically people have trouble. now the problem is they need to commute so they may take it out another n other ways. they may not be spending. when they stop spending, that is when it hits retailers hard, we're already starting to see that. >> jamie: all right. i know we'll track it here. at the fox business network, too. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jamie: that is going to do it for us. i'm jamie colby. busy, busy, busy, eric. >> eric: wow! gasoline, boy, oh, boy. i'm eric shawn. after the break, america's news headquarters with shannon bream live from washington. have a great sunday. >> jamie: bye, everybody. really? i was afraid you'd have some cut-rate policy.
