that's right, step aside mary lou retton. three names, one woman and carl lewis, the next olympic champion could come from your yoga class. >> really? >> let's do the praying mantis position. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> was yesterday the primaries? >> big state. arizona and michigan and look, we have the results for you right there. mitt romney wins in arizona handily 47% to 27% over rick santorum. the big race everyone was really focusing on was his home state of michigan where it was a squeaker until the end but he prevailed 41% to 38% beating rick santorum. >> and, of course, you have ron paul and newt gingrich following way behind, if i can say it again if we weren't live. >> it's all that yoga.

>> that's true. i'm so focused on the olympics. mitt romney and rick santorum could walk away with 11 delegates each so there's a strong play for rick santorum saying hey, i was basically even in michigan but in arizona, no surprise, 29 delegates go to mitt romney. >> right. in arizona, that was mitt romney's easiest win of the season so far. what's really interesting about what happened in the state of michigan was the fact that mitt romney wound up with more votes total than he won last year -- last time in 2008 when he won by a sizable margin. last night, when he addressed his crowd there in michigan, he was confident and relaxed and ready to take on the pundits. >> we didn't win by a lot but we won by enough and that's all that counts. a week ago, it was just a week ago the pundits and the pollsters, they were already to count us out but across michigan and arizona, i kept on meeting moms and dads and students and

grandparents and they were concerned about what was happening to this great country of ours. and i was confident that we could come together today and take a giant step toward a brighter future. so tonight, their efforts have brought our cause a great victory and we celebrate with people across these states. thank you. >> so that was from the winner, mitt romney. rick santorum apparently called mitt romney to concede before he said these words. >> a month ago, they didn't know who we are but they do now! what an absolutely great night. i am so thankful. so thankful to so many people here tonight. first and foremost, i just have to say to the people of michigan, you know, we came into the backyard of one of my opponents in a race that everyone said, well, just ignore. you'll have really no chance here. and the people of michigan

looked into the hearts of the candidates and all i have to say is i love you back. thank you. >> that's nice. >> he does have a leg to stand on with that comment. he was down in 2% to 3% just one month ago so what would have thought that rick santorum would give mitt romney in his home state a run for his money and speaking of money, mitt romney ended up having to spend a lot of money to be able to eke out a win. >> let's look at the delegate count as we see it right now. although it's not been official yet how many delegates are go from michigan to either candidate. we're assuming it's 11 and 11. santorum a strong second at 83 and newt gingrich with 32. ron paul with 19. neither ron paul nor newt gingrich but any effort into either one of those states. we're still a long way away. super tuesday will bring almost 500 delegates. you want specific? >> 20% of all the delegates. i think that georgia, newt gingrich's home state is 76. there it is right there. 76. so if he went back to that map that we showed just the graphic

before, i mean, 76 plus 30 something, he'd be over 100 just with that, just with the georgia state. >> right and as you look at the delegate race right now, romney has 163. he leads santorum and as you can see right there by that margin, he's still 1 is -- 1,000 away from the number he needs. >> super tuesday, we'll be focusing that in seven days. ohio will be key. mitt romney will be there. two separate cities right now. you got to feel if you're a mitt romney guy or woman that he's going to feel good about massachusetts, he's going to feel good about virginia. he has a real good shot in idaho but ohio will be the key for a lot of people who want to know is he truly electable in the general? because you can't win ohio, it's going to be tough. >> interesting thing about ohio right now, i believe the last poll i saw santorum was up by 11 points in ohio but why is ohio so important? because obviously, in the general election, ohio swings sometimes democratic. sometimes republican. it's always a swing state and always an important state. >> i'll tell you, as we get into

the exit polls, one thing that i thought was cleared. i was allowed to stay up to watch the rick santorum speech. i was kicking you, gretchen. >> you're trying to keep me awake. >> i'm all pumped up. i saw rick santorum came out and i had to recheck my figures. i thought he won. his focus was on women. he talked about his mom. how his mom had a job and got paid more than his father. and how she was different for her times. that was important to have a great career and go to college. >> that's interesting. >> go for the women! >> and so as you look at exact -- >> that's joel's mantra. >> but that's -- you'll see that in the after the show show. who did the women go for? let's go to some of the exit polls and find out some of mitt romney's strengths. he won 49% of the vote with seniors. he also -- and this is interesting, the mormon beat the catholic. mitt romney won with catholics. mitt romney favored by five when it came to women. he beat rick santorum by five when it comes to women and the number one issue is who can beat

barack obama? as you can see, 61%, he ran away with that. >> let's look at the exit polls, gretchen, on what is most important, social issues, not too high. >> no. the economy and mitt romney achieved 47% of the people who felt that the economy was the number one thing that they were voting. on rick santorum 30%. ron paul 13%. newt gingrich 7%. the top candidate quality, can you defeat barack obama? 32%. >> moral character, second. >> i don't care how you do it. i want you to beat him! >> that's right. >> look at experience. i don't know what that says. 22% are true conservatives. >> change ballots. >> so on that particular board right there, rick and mitt split it. mitt won, can you beat obama and experience whereas santorum won strong moral character and true conservative. >> interesting because they say among the conservatives, basically even. among the so-called true conservatives, rick santorum up big. >> i didn't know there was a

huge cascade -- >> and also in tea parties, i'm a tea partyier, even, but if i am a tea partyier, strong tea partyier, santorum wins easy. >> by a mile. >> let's go out to arizona. will we see different exit poll results? the biggest hot issue out there, immigration policy. mitt romney arguably has the strongest immigration policy of the four republican candidates and he achieved 47% of the votes of the people who felt that immigration, that they should be deported. illegal immigrants should be deported back home. they voted for mitt romney by an overwhelming margin there. >> newt gingrich has had probably the most moderate view on illegal immigration. perhaps the most practical view and he doesn't really register there and the exit polls in arizona, the economy is number one at 51%. but they do feel ignored as a people because nobody went down there to campaign virtually. mitt romney did a little. rick santorum with 26% of the vote in terms of the -- if he's the guy to turn around the economy. >> one of the things that factored in, perhaps, in mitt

romney and the rick santorum race in michigan was what about those robo calls that rick santorum made appealing to democrats to vote? well, they were able, according to the exit polls to figure out that about 10% of the people who voted yesterday were democrats. they're suggesting that, perhaps, three to six points for mr. santorum could have been because of democrats. what's interesting as well is the irony that while rick santorum said, you know, nothing wrong with appealing two democrats to vote in an open primary, it was just a couple of weeks ago in minnesota during a teletown hall, he said i believe that states should only allow republicans to vote in republican primaries but at the 11th hour, rick santorum himself essentially flip-flopped and said, come on, i'll take all the comers i can get. >> they all do. if you look at new hampshire, 53% of the people who voted there were not republicans either and mitt romney won that state so look, it works no matter which state you -- >> he just came out. he was clear in minnesota and

said i don't think democrats should vote in republican primaries. >> let's see some headlines. begin with the fox news alert. a coast guard chopper goes down in alabama leaving one person dead. three others are still missing. the chopper crashed last night in mobile bay during a training mission. one person was pulled from the water but later died. and at this hour, dense fog is moving in which could delay the rescue effort. now to an extreme weather alert. this is brand new video showing the path of destruction left behind by a tornado in harveyville, kansas, this is last night. two people are in critical condition after getting trapped inside an apartment complex. at least eight others were also hurt. a local high school was set up as a shelter. another twister touched down in missouri where tornado warnings remain in effect right now. teenager accused of killing three of his classmates at a school in ohio expected to be charged with murder by tomorrow. police say 17-year-old t.j. lane opened fire in the high school cafeteria and the rampage would have been even worse had it not

>> 15 minutes after the top of the hour. if you're just waking up, here's our next topic. new york's pension problem is spiralling out of control. what's their plan to fix it? get this, new york state is paying this year's pension costs by tapping into the pension fund that it already owes money on. >> this year alone, the state is borrowing $750 million, 3/4 of a billion to cover its costs but what happens next year? >> i'll take it from here. hi, stuart varney. >> greetings, young man. >> is any of what we just said true? please tell me it's not. >> yeah, that's true. this is the mother of all accounting gimmicks. ok, new york state has a big pension fund, right? $140 billion is in it. all the cities and towns have to give money to it every year. that's their regular annual contribution. this year, they can't afford to make their contribution. so they're going to borrow money from the pension fund and then use that money to pay back that

same fund and call it a contribution that they should have made. >> they should call it the madoff mambo. what the heck is that? >> that's right. it's a form of ponzi scheme. what you're doing is massive kicking the can down the road. on the screen, $750 million to a billion dollars are going to be borrowed from that fund that year and then repaid back immediately with interest. >> is this the first year that's happened or has this been part of a pattern? >> it's the first year it's happened because the law has been changed. >> as far as what? >> allowing cities and towns in new york state to do that. >> who would pass that? >> the state of new york. governor cuomo who wants to aquote any immediate crisis. look, if these cities and towns like south hampton, a wealthy town, they can't afford to pay -- there you go, they're borrowing $1.2 million from the pension fund and paying that money into the pension fund. >> they're as wealthy as they gets in south hampton. how come they couldn't -- >> how come they can't? >> sorry, what was your

question? >> how come they can't afford it? >> i was going to ask that question. >> ok. ok. to answer your question, brian. >> the pensions have gotten completely out of hand. pensions for cops, firefighters, toll takers, you name it, the pensions are completely out of hand. they're rising so rapidly way in excess of revenue to these towns, the towns can't pay. rather than reform the pensions, they reform the pension fund. >> right. and they changed the law so they could borrow the money to get them where they are today. what they're doing, though, is they're just delaying the game. >> oh, yes. >> unless they face the fact that they're running out of money and the way that they've structured things in the past and currently is a dopey system. they're really going to be in trouble in two years and five years and 30 years from now, they're dead. >> oh, a couple of years from now, this is massive can kicking to avoid the immediate problem. you have a question? >> yeah, i have a question. >> see, here's a naive question

you'd never get on the business channel. are they taking the money that they're getting in and putting it into risky investments? aren't they told -- are told to take that pension money and put it into something to allow it to grow? >> no, take the town of south hampton, for example, they borrow $1.2 million from the big pension fund and they immediately give it back to the fund and promise to pay interest in the future. south hampton is not putting it into risky investments. >> let me ask -- question number two. can they do this each year moving forward or was this law that went into effect just -- >> i wish i asked that! >> yes, they can do this each year moving forward. >> you know, this -- >> yes, they can. >> what's interesting about what's happening in new york, this kind of has happened in the past in new jersey where governor christie has not made big pension contributions to the state fund because there was no money. this year, he's actually putting a big cash infusion in because they changed things in new jersey. >> that's right. almost all states have an

underfunded pension plan. almost everybody is underfunded. and it's reached the critical point in california, stockton, california, last night decided to go into bankruptcy. and this is going to happen all over the place. except new york where they've got this special rule that you can -- you can loot the pension fund. >> but don't some states or cities have it in their constitutions that you cannot go bankrupt? >> new york state, no state can go bankrupt. that is true. you cannot go bankrupt. not allowed to. but what you can do in new york is borrow from the pension fund, pay it back immediately with interest down the road and ultimately, ruin that pension fund. >> if we stayed with britain, it would be their responsibility. we never should have fought for our freedom and went out on our own. it's scary. >> if you think i'm touching that with a 10-foot pole -- >> brian, you're fired. >> what will he touch with a 10-foot pole? tune in. >> wow, i'm gonna watch. >> over on fox business. >> up again.

2-2. he swept michigan and arizona. joining us right now from tempe, arizona is our own alicia acuna who is up really early but has good news for mitt romney. good morning to you, alicia. >> good morning. there's a lot of good news for mitt romney here. not really a big surprise from arizona because up until the primary last night, romney had been polling about 20 points ahead. rather double digit numbers ahead of santorum and he did finish last night 20 points ahead. fox news was able to call arizona for romney at 7:00 p.m. local time, the exact time that the precincts closed. part of the credit goes to the very popular early voting that goes on here. half of the republican voters had already cast their ballots when the polls opened yesterday morning. while mitt romney thanks the folks in arizona, two of his sons made an appearance at the victory partied here in phoenix.

>> absolutely thrilled where he's taken all the delegates. thank you so much. i will just say one thing and i know he really feels this way. we're very humbled when we go across the country and talk to people and meet people. so humbled to see how much work you guys do. >> also, present last night, arizona senator, republican john mccain who had endorsed romney. >> tonight, arizona has spoken. for the next president of the united states, mitt romney! and i'm happy to say the state of michigan is about to speak for mitt romney. to be president of the united states. my friends, i tell you, tonight with a victory in arizona and this victory in michigan, it is inevitable that the next president of the united states will be one mitt romney.

the f.b.i. was offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. he was added to the most wanted list after being named a prime suspect in the bombings of the u.s. embassies in tanzania and kenya in 1998. >> police arrest a suspect in the death of missing firefighter, that gentleman from florida. cops in maine picked up 24-year-old daniel porter at his father's home in jackson. he's charged with murdering jerry perdomo. authorities say the killing was drug related but they're not sure how the two knew each other. the firefighters' bodies still not found. he went missing on february 16th while in maine visiting a frenld. -- friend. he was a firefighter for seminole county, florida. >> gitmo terror suspects getting their kicks at our expense. detainees at gitmo are getting a brand new $750,000 soccer field with ocean views paid for by

american taxpayers. how could they do that with ankle bracelets on? >> and they got stands and they got lights. what the -- >> even has lights so prisoners can play in the middle of the night. the new field is in addition to an indoor field, a walking track, an exercise that prisoners already have access to. no one at gitmo's camp six could tell us who signed off on the new field. why do they even want to get out? >> it doesn't look like it costs $750,000 first of all. i'd like to know where that money went. >> i'll tell you what, i bet they end up rolling turf on top of that. it's not going to be done until april. >> when they're done, just add cash. >> that costs $750,000? >> my brother does turf and i'm calling on him to reject this deal if he's an e hire. >> get a second bid. >> my brother is now out. >> yoga posing as the newest olympic sport? some say it's a real stretch. >> huh? >> the organization u.s.a. yoga hopes to turn the long thought

of spiritual practice into a competition worthy of consideration. participants would have to do a series of seven yoga poses in three minutes. some yoga instructors is pushing back and saying yoga is supposed to be anything but competitive. that's interesting. it's supposed to be this relaxation technique, right, where you bring your mind and body and soul together and so that's an interesting point. >> block out the quest for a gold medal and just relax! the world is watching. >> that way when you lose, who cares? >> come on, slovakia, you can go gold now. >> doing the down dog. >> what? >> i don't know. >> that's a pose. >> oh. >> dick morris joins us from florida. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, how are you guys doing? >> we're doing ok. mitt romney doing even better. you say because mitt romney won last night, the nomination fight is over. >> well, it's not over, over but it's overish. what's going to happen now, i think, that in super tuesday

states, i think that romney will win most of those. but two observations are important. one is santorum is not winning women. that's his problem. i think the social conservativism is turning them off. he carried men by one point and he lost women by six points, santorum did. so i think that that social conservative message is not working as well as he wants. now, i did an analysis yesterday where i went through every single state and the laws affecting each state about winner take all or proportion representation and so on. now, 46% of the delegates are chosen by winner take all. but 54% are chosen by proportional representation. and that means when romney wins michigan, for example, he'll get maybe three extra delegates than santorum will. and in arizona, if it were

proce proporti proportional, i don't know if it is or not, he'll get 10 extra. only in winner takes all states is there a decided victory and those need to pile up. but even if romney basically wins everything, all the winner take all states except for the south and does well in the proportional representation states, he may not have an absolute numerical majority until after the california primary on june 6th. so at some point, i hope the party gets together and basically says, ok, if romney wins 20 in a row, get the message and get out, guys, and let's get on with fighting obama. >> you think the other candidates are going to listen to the establishment of the party? that's pretty much what they're fighting against, wouldn't it? >> it would have to be the voters of the party if romney keeps winning. we need to look at super tuesday and i would expect romney would win 10 or more of those 14 states. and if that happens, then gingrich and santorum are just being obstructionists in this race. now, of course, romney still has

to earn that. he still has to do well in all of those super tuesday states. i think he will because i don't think santorum will have any momentum now or any money. but in any case, once romney does that, if he does that, then i think a week from today, i'm going to be on this show urging both of them to pull out. >> really? >> huh? >> fox news alert, we'll be watching. >> what about the newt gingrich situation? he's been all his eggs in the basket for super tuesday that will have 20% of the delegates, i think brian said over 500 of them. >> 437. >> he's going to win georgia which i think is 70 delegates. and santorum, by the way, will win pennsylvania. that's also about 70 delegates. those are winner take all states so those are very significant. but neither of them is on the ballot in virginia. that's about 50 delegates. and only ron paul and romney so romney will win the vast bulk of it and then in most of those other states, romney is going to do very, very well.

i think santorum may carry oklahoma and one or two others but i think that -- i believe that had romney lost michigan, this would have been a difficult, tough two-way fight and probably nobody would have a majority of the first ballot. but with romney winning michigan, i think they will. >> but if i told you two weeks ago before rick santorum did so well in those three states and then had a 14-point lead, mitt romney was supposed to win almost at the same margin that he won arizona. so it went seesawing back and forth in and in the end, rick santorum felt pretty good about the fact that he may have as many delegates leaving as mitt romney. let's talk about gas prices. you have a theory and sadly, you believe gas could go up to $8 a gallon? >> yeah, well, god knows how high but yes, it certainly will go up further if there's an israeli strike and if iran closes the straits, then i think that could happen. but there's something really worth noticing here.

we're saying gas go up. there's a very interesting fact here. the price of gas measured in gold is almost exactly what it was in 1948. it's not that gas is going up. it's that the dollar is going down. and because gas is denominated in prices, oil is, it looks like gas is going up. i'll give you a fascinating statistic. a dime used to have $0.10 worth of silver in it. if it still did, if it had the same weight of silver that it did in 1948 when $0.20 could buy a gallon, two dimes could buy a gallon of gas today. it's a relative motion thing where it looks like the prices are going up. but in fact, the dollar is going down. >> well, it will be interesting to see how gas prices do impact the coming presidential election. you can see a commentary by dick on that topic at dickmorris.com. thank you very much for getting up so early on this wednesday

arizona, the economy was the number bun issue on voters' minds. take a look at this. in arizona, 49% of voters said the economy was most important for them. in michigan, 55% said the same thing. so with mitt romney being declared the winner in both of those states, what does it mean for the g.o.p. race now moving forward? joe trippe, former manager to howard dean's president shall candidate up early after a late night and fox news contributor and editor of conservativechick.com and a columnist. what do you make for those particular numbers? it's no surprise that the economy would be on top. >> you nailed it and i'm going to say the same thing. it is the economy, stupid. and i think santorum needs to move away from talk of people's bedrooms, their religion, contraception is harmful. and the fact that he doesn't believe in church -- the separation of church and state and that hurt him. i predicted after the arizona

debate that mitt romney would win michigan because he was able to expose santorum's record, he took him down the rabbit trap of earmarks. santorum was like everybody has got to do it and i think romney is getting stronger and stronger. a win is a win like you said. he won a double whammy. he won michigan and arizona. and he gets stronger after each win. you saw that you guys played the speech and he said he's going to send barack obama home where barack obama belongs because he, as a president, has presided over one of the worst economies since the depression. barack obama is going to have a fight ahead of him. and it's not going to be pretty and i think that romney is able to take the fight. he's going to be a stronger candidate and we saw what happened, you know, with hillary and barack obama. people forget 2008. >> there's so much to talk about, speaking of president obama. joe, let's look at this exit poll data. in michigan, the top candidate quality that voters were looking for, 32% said somebody who can beat barack obama. what do you make of that? >> well, romney and romney

scores the highest and i think in michigan, 51% of those who voted thought romney was the best candidate to beat obama. the problem -- but there's a real schism in the party right now. when you look at what happened last night, 20 -- people who believe having a candidate who believes as they do, as strongly as they do about their religious beliefs is really important to them. romney scored only 20% with those people. 60 something with a santorum. on who is a true conservative, he gets 17%. on -- on a lot of these measures, he's not doing very well with conservatives in the party and santorum -- the problem is that's all he's doing well with. >> the interesting thing is, joe, at least in these two states, the exit polls showed that people didn't care very much about who was the true conservative. it was like 17% according to them. now, maybe that changes when we go to the southern states for super tuesday. i'm not sure. but i got to get to this.

let's look at the exit poll in michigan. the votes by democrats, much was made about those robo calls that santorum made urging democrats to come out and vote for him on the last day so 53% of the democrats who actually did vote went for santorum. only 18% went for mitt romney. crystal? >> i mean, yeah, duh! the democrats would love to see santorum as our nominee and that's never going to happen, you know, and so that's why they went out, they tried to mess with -- fiddle with michigan and it didn't work. we prevailed. the right candidate won. and, you know, that's the way this contest works. ok? so democrats be on notice. >> joe, your reaction? do you think that these types of primaries should be open to all voters or should they be closed like in some states where the party that's actually running only those people registered and that party get the vote? >> yeah, i don't really think it matters. i mean, as long as you know what the rules are going in and you can turn out your vote, i think it sometimes helps to know whether a candidate can gain votes from the other party or

not. i know on the democratic side when we do it, that actually helps us sometimes to get a notion of which candidate can get those votes and trap them in. look, i think this robo call thing with santorum backfired badly and may have cost them the election -- the michigan primary because of the backlash. you know, but there was a robo call, a trump call made for romney that i think was much more effective and actually helped romney quite a bit. this one hurts santorum. >> very interesting. so much to talk about. unfortunately, i'm out of time right now. thanks so much for getting up so early. appreciate it. >> yep, thanks. >> here he goes again, president obama making a prediction about the future and the chevy volt. >> and five years from now when i'm not president anymore, i'll buy one. and drive it myself. >> should he really be being that bold about his re-election campaign? and a documentary filmmaker exposes a side of illegal immigration that you've never seen before. coming up, what he says, why he says the border is worse than you can even imagine.

>> i don't have to tell you, it's one of the hottest political topics out there today. we're talking about illegal immigration and while america's border battle is well documented, our next guest set out on a journey to give an unbiassed perspective of how bad the situation really is. >> looking at right over there. >> it is a cocktail headquarters for distribution of drugs in this area. let me tell you -- >> you go near there, you're dead. he did. >> he's the director of "they come to america" a documentary that is now getting out there. dennis, what alerted you to this problem? >> i was making my first movie called "king of the hamptons"

and i used to drive to the hamptons every day and there's a guy that stands on the corner of 7-eleven out in southhampton by himself for five years. i've never taken a look at him before. one day i'm sitting on the corner and the neil diamond song, you know, "they coming to america" and i'm listening to it and all of a sudden, i was like what is going on here? i pulled over, took my camera out and a half hour later, i was like this is my next movie. >> what you found out is you took the perspective of the illegal immigrant working here and the american that's out of work and said that's not enough. i'm going to the border to find out what we're not doing that allow them in. what did you conclude when you went to the border? au >> it's a mess. it's a total mess and everything you see on television and everything you hear out of the administration, it's not the case, brian. it's not the case. >> there's huge tracks where there is no wall and people come flooding in. it seems like the ranchers in your movie are on their own to protect friends and family. >> i slept in the dirt for three days and got chased by

drug cartels. it was a disaster that if you had to live like that every day, you'd be calling the cops all the time. these ranchers, if they go out to go get gas and they come back, they have to go arnold the house with a gun to make sure that everything is safe before they go in. >> so what you did and we're about to see that there in the video is you just stood there, you actually went and probed around where that alleged drug cartel was and they were shooting at you. >> we were warned by the local police not to go down there. that they don't go down there and they have guns. i experienced 9/11 first hand and i knew that if i was going to create this film, i had to create the same thing over for myself. and i would never do it again. which has something to be said. >> you found out about the otm's other than mexicans, in this world where we're worried about iran sending agents, there's sightings of people of arabic descent coming over the border. >> the goa has said 70% of

crossings go undetected. >> where can we see this movie? >> first of all you go to they coming to america.com and all the information about where it's going to be screened and how it's going to be distributed coming up in the next month. this is the sort of movie that so many people aren't going to want people to see it because the issue of illegal immigration is nuts. i'm getting death threats based on clips that i put up on you tube. >> on you tube. just four clips. dennis michael lynch, a guy who went for an unbiassed look of how bad the problem is, it's bad and you documented it. awesome job. fantastic. meanwhile at 4 minutes before the top of the hour, we change gears. president is not on a campaign tour so he says. but he's taking swipes at mitt romney. wait until you hear what he said yesterday in detroit and top climate scientists, global warming, big hoax, right? why aren't lawmakers listening? what it means for your future.

>> the results are in and it's no surprise in one of them and more than a squeaker in the other. first off, if you want to know where 29 delegates from arizona are going, they're going to mitt romney's column! easily beats rick santorum 47-27. i don't think senator santorum even showed up there. >> if you look at what happened in michigan, mitt romney's home state it would have been embarrassing had he lost it. he did not. he pulls it out by three points over rick santorum. he then is followed, rick is, by

ron paul, newt gingrich in fourth place. mitt romney waking up today going that was close but a win is a win. >> yep. we've got more now on mitt romney's two big wins with live team coverage. our alicia acuna is live in arizona and mike tobin in michigan. let's start with alicia with a look at mitt's win there. good morning to you. >> yes, arizona republican voters delivered big for mitt romney. he beat his closest rival, rick santorum by a 20-point margin. romney had also received some major endorsements by arizona governor jan brewer and senator john mccain who attended the victory party last night. romney's win was not surprised. while his lead had diminished somewhat before the primary debate last week, he came back and came back strong. two of his sons, matt and greg, thanked supporters in arizona for the 29 delegates that were up for grabs here. that is actually half the normal allotment arizona has but the

state was penalized for holding its primary before march 6th, super tuesday. voters here say the biggest issues on their minds are the economy, budget deficit, and immigration and now i'll head it over to my colleague, mike tobin in michigan. mike? >> thank you, alicia. rick santorum said last night was always going to be mitt romney's night. the question was how big? and because he kept the margin small here in michigan and because he came from behind, because this is still very much a two person race, the spin from the santorum camp is that last night was a win in michigan. >> a month ago they didn't know who we are but they do now! >> what an absolutely great night. i am so thankful. so thankful to so many people here tonight. first and foremost, i just have to say to the people of michigan, you know, we came into the backyard of one of my opponents in a race that everyone said, well, just

ignore. you have really no chance here. and the people of michigan looked into the hearts of the candidates and all i have to say is i love you back. >> of all the exit poll statistics what seems to stand out is 60% of michigan voters who were polled last night think that mitt romney is the guy who can beat obama but when it comes to the test of moral character, a majority think that rick santorum is that guy. back to you guys in new york. >> all right, mike, thank you very much. you were just talking about the santorum spin, akorpgd to the national review on line, one of the santorum chief strategists said going forward it looks as though he's going to continue with that snob theme. it didn't backfire. >> are you kidding? >> that's what it says in the paper today. also, they say regarding michigan, calling the democrats and urging them by robocall to vote was strategic and key and a good idea. >> i thought you said in his speech that he gave last night that he talked about that it was

a good idea for kids to go to college. >> i made it up. no, i'm only kidding. he talked about his mom going to college, a working woman who outearned his dad. he looked at the stats from the exit polls and said i didn't get any women here. i have a big problem being misinterpreted. he talked about a woman, he talks about his mom, he knows her. he talked about a woman that goes to college so he went ahead on all those things that maybe people were criticizing him for because mitt romney got the bulk of the college vote and it looks like rick santorum got the bulk of the blue collar vote, those that graduated high school. >> let's take a look at what they focused on, though, which was the economy and president obama. >> he thinks he's unchecked by the constitution, he's unresponsive to the will of our people and in a second term, he would be unrestrained by the demands of re-election. if there's one thing we can't afford, it's four years of barack obama with nothing to answer to. so we're going to get him out of

that office and get him back home where he belongs. >> we can do it all. but we have a president that says no. we have a president who when the opportunity to open up federal lands for mining and oil and gas drilling, he says no. we have an opportunity to open off shore, he says no. alaska, he says no. build a pipeline, he says no. we need a president who says yes to the american people. and energy production. >> you know what's going to be the key, think about it. after mitt romney has his big debate, he overwhelms himself by making his wife has a couple of cadillacs speech. after he wins the last time, he has a gap in which he says i don't care about poor people. we know that's not what he meant. that's the sound bite to emerge. today will be the key day for mitt romney, can he go to those two stops in ohio and not make news? >> of course, we're a newschannel. if he says something important, we'll cover it for you.

of course, both of them -- >> air it over and over. >> we will. >> they both took a shot at the president of the united states. there was the president on the day that michigan went to the polls and he had a speech before the united auto workers and he mocked mitt romney. does this, though, sound to you like a campaign speech? >> no way. >> i want people to listen. we're going to ask you at the end. >> some of these folks completely try to rewrite history now that you're back on your feet. the same folks who said if we went forward with our plan to rescue detroit, you can kiss the american automotive industry good-bye. now they're saying we were right all along or you got folks saying, well, the real problem is what we really disagreed was with the workers, they made it

out like bandits. saving the auto industry was just about paying back the unions. really? i mean, even by the standards of this town, that's a load of you know what. >> if you look at the structured bankruptcy, you would see that a lot of people lost, lost out in their pension funds and the unions probably conceded less than the people who lost things so that will remain a debate that will no doubt come up again in november. >> two things emerged for me. i hope i can remember both of them. number one, how does ford feel? ford needed nothing. they took the two losers that were losing and said we're going to save you. and become owners of you and ford got rewarded for actually having money on a rainy day in a long-term strategy if the market took it down. >> they restructured. >> and number two, they call for a structured bankruptcy. the headline of mitt romney's

article was let them go bankrupt. in the story was let them restructure and let them come back. >> structured bankruptcy that favors certain groups and not others which was his point. let's talk about fundraising because it's interesting to do a comparison between president obama and president george w. bush. at which point right now in the election they were. if you compare, look at how much more president obama, how many more fundraisers he's had, 99. president bush had 56 at this point in the election cycle of 2003 compared to now. >> right. and the reason we point that out is because even though it did sound like the president of the united states was making a political statement, a campaign statement in front of the united auto workers, jay carney yesterday said absolutely not. that was not a campaign speech. he was just talking about. >> jay carney makes a lot of sense. he's 100% right. >> time for your headlines and we begin with a fox news alert from egypt. according to airport officials, a senior al-qaida chief arrested at the airport in cairo.

he had just arrived from pakistan and headed for dubai. fox news not confirming this yet. the f.b.i. was offering a $5 million for information leading to his arrest. he was added to the most wanted list after being named a prime suspect in the bombings of the u.s. embassies in tanzania and kenya back in august of 1998. he has also been linked to the 2002 killing of "wall street journal" reporter daniel pearl in pakistan. >> yep. >> that's really big! >> plus another fox news alert. at least one person is dead and a dozen more hurt after tornadoes ravaged the heartland overnight. one even damaged the town of branson, missouri, and joining us right now from missouri is kim hudson. good morning to you, kim. busy night overnight. >> absolutely. right now, we have the missouri department of transportation working to clean up all this mess in bridgeton. we are just west of st. louis, missouri, and take a look at this video from early tonight. long story short, we had a lot of electrical and telephone poles that were standing along a

road called st. charles rock road here. high winds knocked them all down and blew the lines over all four lanes of interstate 270 here so the interstate was closed for at least two hours and then it just kind of opened up in sections after electric crews were able to get those lines off of the highway. also, the ramp is closed for a little while and eastbound and westbound traffic on st. charles rock road opened eventually as well. there's still quite a mess here. modot crews are trying to get the rest of the poles standing. all along, they closed the road for about a mile or so. as for what happened in branson, unofficially, it looks like a tornado did hit there. however, the national weather service is still investigating that. they're still looking at all the damage. however, we are hearing that there is severe damage down in branson. back to you. >> all right, kim hudson reporting live from missouri.

thank you very much. as the sun comes up, they'll be able to get a better idea of how much damage out in the heartland. >> coming up, say -- some say rick santorum is campaigning too much on religion. not enough on the economy. is he missing the boat? gary bower begs to differ and he'll be joining us now, he's the president of american values. he's next. >> check it out, a school that needs a spelling lesson of its own. i guess they're going to be talking about literacy. details straight ahead.

presidential candidate himself. good morning to you. >> great to be with you. good morning. >> great to see you again as well. let's look at the exit polls in michigan. these were some of the romney strengths there, seniors went for him 49%. catholics, 44%. women, 43%. but the most important thing for mitt romney was whether or not he could beat obama in the voters' minds, 61%. what do you make of the fact that so many catholics went for mitt romney when rick santorum is a catholic as well? >> well, first of all, let me begin by congratulating mitt romney and rick santorum for fighting the good fight in michigan. you know, i hear a lot of people dissatisfied that the republican field, quite frankly any of these republican candidates blindfolded and one hand tied behind their back will do a better job as president of the united states than the guy we got in the white house right now. now, as far as the exit polls, look, they almost fought to a draw last night. and i think if people were doing what they should have been doing which is watching the returns on

fox news last night, they would have seen rick santorum give a speech that was 95% on the economy. and i believe that's what he has been doing all over michigan. there's an effort by big media to sort of pigeonholing just because he's brought up values issues. the catholic vote was divided. nobody got a majority of it. i think among generally values voters, rick santorum did fantastic and among strong conservatives, rick santorum did fantastic. >> if you look at the exit polls, evangelical voters went for him in arizona by a slimmer margin than they did in michigan. if i'm hearing you correctly, mr. bower, what you're saying is it's the media that is pigeonholing rick santorum, the social issues and not his own commentary? >> i think there's something going on here that always goes on in an election cycle which is big media and the democrats try to promote the idea that if republicans talk about values, it will kill them on election day. but here is the other

interesting thing. i want to make sure i get it in. i'm tight on time today with all the news. the top candidate quality in the exit polls, number one thing was whether or not these candidates could beat president obama, 32%. true conservative was all the way down at 16%. so what do you make of that? >> well, what i make of it is that if you want to beat barack obama, you better be an unashamed conservative. you better be ready to make the case on economic issues, on foreign policy issues, and on values issues where the president is extremely vulnerable. this is a guy who when he was a state senator voted to allow infantcide. that's an issue that republicans shouldn't be afraid to talk about. they shouldn't be afraid to talk about this latest attack on religious liberty. ronald reagan defined the republican party, gretchen, when he brought together the people that care about those three things. smaller government, lower taxes, strong foreign policy, pro life,

pro family. that was the winning formula then and it's still the winning formula now. >> i believe newt gingrich brought that up at the last debate but that's been the only talk about that particular topic. gary bower, thanks for your time this morning. >> great to be with you. >> coming up on "fox & friends", top climate scientists say global warming is a big oil hoax? big ole hoax. no pun intended. why aren't lawmakers listening? what it means for your future, senator jim inhofe with that next. and it's a fox news exclusive and the coolest video you will see all day. we have the never before seen video of the navy's newest weapon.

>> all right. now your news by the numbers. first 100. that's the whopping number of fundraising events that president obama will have attended for his re-election campaign as of tomorrow night. he's reportedly raised at least $82 million already. next, five million much that's how many leap year babies are celebrating their birthdays today. that includes 200,000 right here in the u.s. and nine in our control room and finally one, that's how the rab labrador retriever ranked on the kennel club's list of top breeds. all have a reason to be proud. steve? >> we have number four. the golden retriever. thank you, brian. meanwhile, the controversy over climate change is ongoing. for years, environmentalists

have argued that global warming is caused by irresponsible acts of people, they say, now that theory is being challenged on the campaign trail as well. listen to this. >> i think global warming is not proven. even if it weren't proven, a lot of other solutions other than turning the entire economy to the e.p.a. >> i do not believe cap and trade. i'm not willing to spend billions of dollars to stop c02 emissions. >> someone who never brought into the climate science of global warming that we later found out was not climate science. it was political science. i never bought into that. never bought into cap and trade. >> so there you've got the views from the right. so what is right? senator jim inhofe is the ranking republican member of the environment and public works committee and he's got a brand new book out. it's called "the greatest hoax, how the global warming conspiracy threatens your future" and joins us live from d.c. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, steve.

>> book came out yesterday. i imagine that al gore bought a bunch of copies already so he could see his name in print. >> i would imagine that's so. i don't think he'd ever admit it to me, though. >> right. i think it's interesting in your book, sir, you say in the beginning that you thought that maybe humans were to blame for the atmosphere getting warmer. >> yeah. keep in mind, that's back during p prekioto when everybody said that. when i became the committee of jurisdiction, we were a majority at that time, i did some checking into the science only to find out they had rigged the science. this book covered it, how the united nations rigged this thing all the way through and you talk about appropriate timing, steve, right when we're getting the spike in the gas prices, as soon as they start, their plan which they are doing to regulate the c02 in the refineries you're going to see another huge spike. >> you're saying it's just a hoax. it's not being caused by people

and meanwhile, you got environmentalists and people on the political left in this country who are standing by trying to use it as a convenient excuse to redistribute wealth in this country. >> that's exactly right and if you go back, i had one whole chapter on the origin of this. it actually goes all the way back, steve, to 1972 and then, of course, right now, they're starting to meet down at rio for the rio meeting that started in 1992 plus 20 years, they're reaffirming that they're going to try to do the very thing that we're trying to stop by regulation. that's the problem we're having right now. we won all the votes, if you remember, steve, and i remember talking to you about it. each time a cap and trade bill came up, we won and we won quite handily so now what obama is trying to do is do it through regulation instead of through legislation. now, that means it's going to be even more expensive but as i say, when they start hitting the refineries, then you're going to really see gas prices go up. it was interesting yesterday, you may have missed it

yesterday, steve, but steven chu who is the energy secretary for president obama, they asked him the question in a house hearing, are you attempting to reduce the price of gas at the pumps? they said no, this is the same steven chu on behalf of the president who said three years ago that our goal is to get the gas prices up to be comparable to those in europe. $7 or $8 a gallon. so there we have it now. >> we've heard him say that in the past. so what you're saying is those who have this agenda, they're using essentially fear, not facts, to try to get people and using the mainstream media because they're all in the tank for this. to try to get that passed. >> it's all fear. and they've talked -- in fact, gore even said you're not going to get nations to cooperate and to make the necessary sacrifices, reducing their economy unless you instill fear in them. and we have a lot of this fear statements. it didn't work, however, they still have an endangerment finding.

i know this is kind of in the weeds and they're proceeding to do it, steve, on regulations. which would be far greater in terms of the expense to those who are watching us now than if they had done it by legislation. >> senator, for all the people that have wondered about global warming, you say it's a hoax and all in this brand new book "the greatest hoax, how the global warming consfir si -- conspiracy threatens your future" you can read all about it. thank you, sir. >> thank you, steve. >> straight ahead, he hasn't been seen in the public for nine years. that's all going to change today. one of the world's most wanted terrorists goes on trial at gitmo. and take a good look at your television, see something wrong? we're going to take you to a school that needs a serious spelling lesson. we'll be back in two minutes.

what do you say? >> the whole thing is if everybody should join in the the cause of liberty and let people be responsible for themselves. >> i think this is the most important election in our lifetime. i think re-electing barack obama will be a disaster. and -- >> we didn't win by a lot but we won by enough and that's all that counts. >> a rose is a rose. mitt romney says a win is a win. if you're just getting up at 7:30 in the east and mitt romney, 2-2 on tuesday. as you can see, out in arizona, he won by 20. biggest yet. >> he's won 6 of the 10 contests so far but the one with the most crucial is michigan. if you said three weeks ago, mitt romney is going to have a three point win in michigan, they would say that's a disaster. considering we're ending up trailing by 15 two weeks ago, it wasn't a disaster. >> won by three over rick santorum. ron paul, 12%, newt gingrich 7%.

and now we wait for super tuesday which will be 487 or 437? >> 437. >> 437 delegates, 20% of the total pie. >>rick santorum and newt gingrich feel optimistic in some of those big delegate states. >> and one other interesting statistic about mitt romney, he won michigan by a larger number of votes than he got in 2008. so spin it as you will, nonetheless, that's good news for that guy. >> fox news alert of great news to america. high value gitmo detainee accused of plotting terror attacks in the u.s. is about to cop a plea. he hasn't been seen in public since 2003 and was supposed to lead the second wave of attacks on our country. >> chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge streaming live for us. >> it is a very extraordinary case. he lived in the baltimore area between 1996 and 2002. after he graduated from high school, he returned to his

native pakistan where it's adding alleged he was hand selected by the 9/11 mastermind for this second wave of attacks in the united states. specifically it's alleged that he was part of the plan to blow up gas stations across the country. his family had owned a gas station in the baltimore area. and also, that he was part of a plot to attack the water supply in the united states either by blowing up hydraulic pumps or using poisons or chemicals. both ideas were later deemed too difficult. what's key here is that once we get the plea agreement in the courthouse about 50 yards from where we're i'm standing right now is the expectation is that he will testify against other detainees including the 9/11 suspect khali shaikh mohammed and in exchange for his testimony, he will get a much reduced sentence. critics of the military commission say this amounts to a let's make a deal strategy. >> and plea bargains are some of the quickest ways to move a case forward but it doesn't mean that it's the right outcome and if

these people have committed serious crimes, they should get a sentence that's appropriate for those crimes. >> what's consecutive is he's one of 14 held by the c.i.a. and transferred to guantanamo in 2006. this plea agreement is largely seen as yet another sign that the military trials here on the fast track and we could get the arraignment of the 9/11 suspect in as little as six weeks, guys. >> all right. catherine herridge, thank you very much for the live report. >> right. we'll find out how those soccer games are going on the brand new field. >> $750,000 of u.s. taxpayer money. >> meanwhile, we've got an update for you. and it's a fox news weather alert. we told you about severe weather overnight. tornadoes wreaking havoc across the midwest. now one person is confirmed dead from a twister that swept through branson, missouri. more than a dozen others were also hurt. all of the victims from a mobile home park. in fact, at this hour, some of them remain trapped, we're also getting reports of damage to branson missouri's historic

downtown. but it's still too early to determine the extent. in the neighboring state of kansas, two people are in critical condition after eth trapped inside an apartment complex. at least eight others were also hurt. a local high school has been set up as a shelter. real quickly, let's go ahead and a take look at a map to find out. yep, there's that big storm system, as you can see, it moved through the midwest and now it is moving to the eastern third of the united states. a strong line of thunderstorms at this hour from the great lakes down through portions of the ohio valley. and that is going to wind up being a major snowmaker in portions of new england. chilly in the northern plains, 69 right now in memphis. we have 70's along the gulf coast. meanwhile, today's daytime highs, it will be 73 in memphis. 71 in raleigh. up north in minneapolis, three dozen. 36 degrees. >> tennessee will be a big battleground state on super tuesday. >> there you go. >> rest of the headlines for wednesday. the teenager accused of killing three of his classmates at a school in ohio expected to be

charged with murder by tomorrow. police say 17-year-old t.j. lane pictured here opened fire in the high school cafeteria the other day and the rampage would have been even worse had it not been for the school's assistant football coach. students say frank hall chased lane out of the building. this morning, we are hearing from him for the very first time. >> i want to say i'm sorry to the families, to the victims, i wish i could have done more. >> at this hour, two other students are still in the hospital fighting for their lives. >> a futuristic weapon closer to reality now. the navy tests firing a brand new gun and fox news has the exclusive video. >> is that real? >> the prototype cannon is called a rail gun and they use it electromagnetic pulses instead of explosives to fire projectiles faster and further than any gun known to man. the projectiles blast out of the

launcher at about 5,000 miles per hour and can fly over 100 miles in five minutes. can you imagine if the rifleman have it, they'll never be any crime in that. >> it's really cool. speaking of technology, general motors has been struggling to sell its chevy volt but president obama says he's going to buy one. as soon as he's out of office. not in one year but in five years. >> in five years from now when i'm not president anymore, i'll buy 1 and drive it myself. >> yeah, the republicans would like to have him buy one next year. the president's five year prediction aside, he did not say whether he will decline the $10,000 incentive that the government is offering to volt buyers. >> a sign promoting literacy night aat a florida high school misspells the word leaping mixing up the a and the e. the irony not lost on the principal who says it was just an innocent mistake. the explanation, the custodian who posted the letters was distracted.

>> 44 minutes after the top of the hour. rescue efforts picking up again in alabama where a coast guard chopper went down last night. one person was killed and three others are still missing. the chopper crashed in mobile bay during a training mission. it looks like sleeping pills could put you to sleep permanently? a new study shows medications for short term insomnia are linked to a nearly fourfold increase in death. even for people who take small doses. uh-oh! got to go off the meds. brian? >> they risk their lives for this country. now those men and women who serve in the u.s. military will be forced to pay more for their health care coverage under new proposals from president obama. enrollment fees for military families will shoot up anywhere from 30% to 78% next year. then five years after that, it will increase another 94% and top out at 345%. joining us right now with more analysis of this, fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr.

peter, where are these cuts coming from? >> some mornings i wake up and i say values in this country are completely lost. and then other mornings i'm thinking we're doing doctor keith ablow's segment, normal or not. this is abnormal. we're saying to our retirees we made a moral compact with you, we made a bargain with you, your life and our faithfulness to your service for your entire life. so now we're saying ok, your health benefits may go up 345% over the next five years, active military, you're going to pay more on co-pays. you're going to pay more for brand drugs. you're going to pay more at retail outlets. you're going to pay more. and so we've devalued military service in this country and we're trying to balance a deficit on the backs of the people who we call to protect us. >> take a look at the co-pays now if you're in the military or a family member who somebody is serving overseas. 2012, you have a co-pay of $12. in 2013, it will be $26 and

topping out in 2017 for now at $34. >> so this is first ever enrollment fees. there haven't been enrollment fees for these retirees in the past. so if you're paying, for example, if you're a colonel, and you're paying $500, you're going to be paying $2,000. there's also means testing. they're saying, ok, those who are getting less in retirement will pay less. those who are getting more in retirement will pay more. so now we've adopted means testing for military retirees. >> about time, peter, so many of those millionaire corporals are out there trying to hide. >> it's really quite frightening. and so the vfw has spoken and some of the military family associations have spoken up and some of the republican leadership have spoken up. but this looks like it's going to be going through at that point. >> what do you say to people who say we only have so much money for the military, we can't be spending it all on health care? >> it's an excellent question and it's a matter, again, of

values and of a moral compact and an agreement that we make implicitly with those we call upon to protect us. and so you say, well, yes, there need to be cuts across the board. but do we value military service? do we want to retain those people? do we want a professional army, navy, air force, national guard. in terms of national guard, a lot of the families are going to have to buy these medicines, active duty, they can't buy it from a military base because they're not near a military base. and their fathers and mothers are overseas. they're going to have to pay full price retail at a local pharmacy. i don't think it's fair. i think it's wrong. >> if there's enough outrage, the administration has been known to change and hopefully they'll -- >> military families have to speak up and americans have to speak up this is wrong. >> all right, peter, hopefully we have a way to do that. thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, feel bad because you prefer one child

over another? should you? or is that actually normal? for me, i finished third every year. dr. keith ablow is dipping into his normal or not normal bag. please leave me out of this and regis philbin like you've never seen him before talking about his past and his future, the tv icon on our couch for three straight hours. ok. maybe a little less. but first on this day in 1976, "love machine" my nickname by the miracles was the number one song! why are you laughing? why are you laughing?

>> the answer to the question of the day is tony robbins. the winner is christopher dwayne in alexandria, virginia, congratulations. >> tony robbins, a friend of the show. >> we all have nutty behaviors. >> is that right, love machine? >> nutty, it made sense at the time. individual quirks that seem to humanize us. boy, am i human? until they crossed the line to wacky, to worrisome. >> ok. so are these peculiar practices normal -- say that five times. normal or not? here to answer some e-mails is fox news contributor and psychiatrist dr. keith ablow. you're not going to rate the three of us on the couch as normal or not, are you? >> well, listen, you being on the couch does give me the

opportunity where you're situated appropriately. >> there you go. right where you like to have us. >> here's the first e-mail that i relate to. i have a phobia of gum. literally petrified. i can't put a piece in my mouth. >> that's you. >> it is me. i won't go to the movies because i'm afraid of gum under the seats. my wife thinks i need help. she also wants us to go to the movies. is she right? >> boy, is she right? because listen, and i'll help you this way, too, i hope. when things start to eclipse the ability that you have to live your life and people around you are saying, listen, this quirk you have is limiting you, then you have to really say, what is this? and look, there are people that have very specific routines and preferences. some people literally can't stand the sound of people chewing gum. >> that's me. that's totally me. >> very specific. and that can be a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder. which, by the way, can be treated with either a medicine or behavior modification or

psychotherapy or all of them. >> do you have a co-payment demand? i'm just asking. >> i'm sending you a bill. but one message here is people don't need to suffer with that kind of thing. actually, you can defeat it. and get to a movie. >> that's right. >> wow. ok, brian. >> put down the bazooka. >> is it normal to prefer my son more than my daughter? i'm their mom and i can't help it. i felt this way since they were babies and now they're in high school. is something wrong with me? >> there's nothing wrong with that. this is an easy one because parents often -- look, you know, they have preferences for one child over the other. that can -- that can relate to whether you were favored in your family or not. exactly. here's the thing, not being conscious of it is the bigger enemy because then you might unconsciously show preference for one child over the other. this way, if you say look, i know it. for some reason, i gravitate

towards this kid more than that. you can make up for it with the less favored child. it's ok but you got to balance things. >> ok. here's the other one, steve. >> i don't mind air travel, somebody writes, but as soon as the plane lands, if the doors aren't open right away, my heart speeds up. i sweat and i feel like i'm going to go crazy and scream. am i nuts? >> well, if i'm seated next to you, steve, on a flight, i'd feel that way, too. >> get me out of here! >> yeah, exactly. >> open the door! >> here's the thing, these are symptoms typical of panic disorder. racing heart, sweating, a feeling of impending doom. couple of things. one is easily controlled and that will be a consistent message as we talk about these things. people can conquer psychiatric symptoms so much more easily than they believe so you can do it with a little bit of a tranquilizing medicine, even a blood pressure medicine but think about your life and think not just about that moment, when else in my life did i feel like there was no exit and i had no

control. because it's not about now. it's about then. >> dr. ablow, let me try squeezing in one more. everybody claims to be bad at names. i forget everyone. faces, too. sometimes i don't recognize my own neighbors. i don't think i'm self-absorbed. am i just nuts? >> you're not just nuts but you might have attention deficit disorder and again, the question is don't just control with medicine. think to yourself, why would i want my concentration to float here and there? what in my life have i not been paying attention to? that's what i should focus on. >> all right, we'll do this every week on "fox & friends." if folks have a question or comment -- >> until you're cured! >> normal or not? e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. >> next week, we'll have an update on brian's gum chewing. >> i hate it! >> straight ahead on this wednesday telecast, big hour of "fox & friends" straight ahead. she slammed george w. bush over gas prices when he was president. now, they are higher with president obama in office. what does dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz stay now? still outraged? we'll talk to her.

>> what's regis philbin's connection to "fox & friends"? this is a hint. >> who's that little boy? who's that kid? >> i'm not sure. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. [ woman ] lower cholesterol. [ man 2 ] yummy. i got that wrong didn't i?

[ cheers and applause ] >> steve: okay. he won by three points in michigan. should mitt romney be worried after such a slim victory in his home state? we're going to talk about that straight ahead. >> brian: and we're live with regis. we're going to ask him about his never before seen photo. you won't believe. >> steve: why is your son in that picture? >> brian: and my favorite

goalie. "fox & friends" starts right now >> steve: you look so much like little brian kilmeade. >> brian: i'm getting a lot of abuse from the control room. that would be '84. this has been a taxing year on me. >> gretchen: i got -- i'm going to bail you out. we're goes to also show bad video of me from the '80s. >> brian: no. no. i'm sure you look great. >> gretchen: no, no, no. so you, i think, will win in the end of not being embarrassed. >> brian: someone says -- they say i look scared in that picture. what do you think i did with that sweater? >> steve: don't know. >> gretchen: still have it. >> steve: you're gripping regis by the neck. what about the guy standing there also trying to get in the picture? >> brian: my friend, rick. >> gretchen: what do you mean it's not a guy? >> brian: he's not adjust random

guy. he's more mature. he's grabbing an elbow. >> gretchen: the inside details about this story examine more when regis philbin joins us. now your other headlines and we begin with fox news alert. we've been following a story all morning, new pictures, check out this destruction from tornadoes that hit across the midwest. damage branson, missouri, where the tornado left at least one person dead. the historic downtown also had significant damage, including its famous theaters. the person killed lived in a trailer park. we're told more than a dozen people there are also hurt. some are still trapped inside their homes. crews going door to door to check now for victims. there is serious damage in kansas. tornado tore through harleyville, kansas. ten people injured there. two critically. new details on a fast developing story from egypt. it is a major terror bust. is it? or is it a case of mistaken identity? according to airport security officials a senior al-qaeda

chief arrested at the airport in cairo. he had just arrived from pakistan and was headed for dubai. fox news not confirming this yet. the f.b.i. was offering a a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. the problem is the suspect who is under arrest has the same name as one of his aliases and he insists he's not the guy the f.b.i. is looking for. he was added to the most wanted list after being named a prime suspect in the bombings of the u.s. embassies in tanzania, in kenya in 1998. he's been linked to the 2002 murder of wall street reporter daniel -- >> brian: he said he was doing al-qaeda in years past. >> gretchen: okay. we'll continue to cover that story for you. back on the water this hour, in alabama, a coast guard chopper went down last night. one person was pulled from the water, but later died. three other coast guard members are still missing. the chopper crashed in mobile bay during a training mission. the cause of that crash now

under investigation. finally, yoga posing is the newest olympic sport. some say it's a real stretch. the organization, usa yoga, hopes to turn the long thought of spiritual practice into a full blown competition worthy of olympic consideration. participants who have to do a series of seven yoga poses in three minutes. some yoga instructors are pushing back. they seau go is supposed to be anything but competitive. i hadn't thought about that. but i get it. it's interesting because baseball is no longer an olympic sport, but yoga might be? i guess they couldn't get enough interest in baseball. >> brian: ballroom dancing is the height of drama and this will be more thrilling. let's talk about arizona and michigan. the two most anticipated primaries because there has been nothing going on for the last three weeks. mitt romney wins arizona. not a surprise. 47% to 27%. senator mom contain on hand

to -- mccain on hand to accept the congratulations. >> steve: ron paul followed. then in michigan, 99% of the precincts reporting, as you can see, mitt romney won by 3 percentage points. rick santorum had 38. mitt had 41. >> gretchen: ron paul rounds it out at 12%. newt gingrich. the pundits were ready to count him out, but they were wrong, sayses are race. >> we didn't win by a lot, but we won by enough. that's all that counts. a week ago, the pundits and the pollsters, they were ready to count us out. but across michigan and arizona, i kept on meeting moms and dads and students and grandparents and they were concerned about what's happening to this great country of ours and i was confident that we could come together today and take a giant step toward a brighter future.

so tonight their efforts brought our cause a great victory we celebrate with people across these states. thank you. >> brian: one of the reasons why he did win, according to the exit polls, is the economy is number one and most people thought mitt romney was the guy on the economy. the deficit number two. mitt romney was the guy on the deficit. when it came to social issues, they weren't on foremost on people's minds. that's what senator santorum spent time on. >> steve: the santorum camp regards this as a big win because they got mitt romney to spend precious cash in his home state and rick santorum loves michigan as if it were his own home. watch. >> a month ago, they didn't know who we are. but they do now! [ cheers and applause ] what an absolutely great night. i am so thankful, so thankful to so many people here tonight.

first and foremost, i have to say to the people of michigan, we came into the backyard of one of my opponents and the race that everyone said, well, just ignore, you have really no chance here. and the people of michigan looked into the hearts of the candidates and all i have to say it, i love you back. thank you. >> brian: one of the criticisms is he went on for 45 minute, unscripted, and rambling. the tradition says quick ten minute, thank you very much. we're happy with the result. >> gretchen: all right. you stayed up for the speech and i didn't. i couldn't muster it. let's do maps for you right now. mitt romney has 163 of the delegates. rick santorum, 83. newt gingrich, 32. ron paul, 19. but here is the most important thing in the map numbers. you need 1144 for the nomination. so many people are saying that this could go all the way until june, which would be a long time

from now to continue talk being who is going to win this nomination. >> steve: meanwhile, coming up, we've got in a week, super tuesday. not quite as super as it was last time around. this time there are only ten states with 437 delegates up for grabs. last time, 21 states on super tuesday. >> brian: this on paper does not look like it will be a great time for the front runner. ohio will be a true test. i think he has a shot at obviously doing well. virginia. but the rest are really going to be a dog fight and newt is very optimistic the southern states will be his. oklahoma he thinks he's going to do good in as well. >> gretchen: the thing about virginia is that it's only ron paul and mitt romney on the ballot. so that is pretty much a shoe in for mitt romney. >> steve: right. also if you're wondering whether or not rick santorum's robo calls to try to get democrats to vote, according to the exit polls, 10% of the people who voted yesterday were democrats.

over half went to him. so he might have wound up with maybe three, four, 5% thanks to democrats voting in the republican primary. >> gretchen: coming up, she criticized president bush over gas prices when he was in office. now those prices are higher. so what will dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz say about that now? we will ask her. she's coming up next. >> brian: regis philbin will be here live. we've been showing this picture. gretchen says she can top it. >> gretchen: not in a good way. >> brian: you'll have to stay tuned. >> steve: regis is looking exactly the same. >> brian: i know. >> steve: there he is. good morning, reg. >> gretchen: that's not you? he said that's not him! he looks fabulous still.

>> gretchen: 15 minutes after the top of the hour. in last night's michigan primary, many, including michael moore, focused on getting democratic voters to the polls, urging them to vote for rick santorum. well, his opponent, mitt romney, has his own theory as to why. >> the obama people, the uaw and rick santorum are all running ads focused on democrats, calling, rather, democrat homes saying, please go out and vote against mitt romney and vote for rick santorum. you got michael moore saying he's telling people to vote for rick santorum. that obviously tells republicans who the democrats are most afraid of. it's not rick santorum. >> gretchen: so after mitt romney's win in both michigan and arizona, are democrats getting concerned? joining me is florida congresswoman and chair of the dnc, debbie wasserman schultz. good to see you. >> you, too. >> gretchen: how do you respond to mitt romney's claim that the democrats fear him the most and that's why they wanted democrats

to vote for rick santorum yesterday? >> well, mitt romney has some really serious problems. he was only able to win his home state that he grew up in, where his father was governor by three points. actually yesterday, more people in michigan voted for someone else other than mitt romney. and he's had to go so far to the right that he is really alienated independent voters, if he does make it to the general election. so he's got -- with every passing week, more and more problems seem to crop up for mitt romney. >> gretchen: answer the question, which was, did democrats actively go out and want democrats to vote for rick santorum because they fear mitt romney as the eventual nominee? >> we weren't involved in any organized effort to get democrats to do that. we have used all of these republican primaries, have been -- as an organizing tool. opening office, making hundreds of thousands of phone calls, engaging with our volunteers. so in michigan open primary, if

democrats chose to do that, that was certainly their choice and always has been their choice because that's how michigan voters cast ballots in primaries. >> gretchen: i want to look at a couple exit polls. democrats vote not guilty michigan overwhelmingly ended up going for rick santorum, 53%. mitt romney 18%. i want to bring your attention to another exit poll, though. because this i think is really important as we look forward to november. this was the question: experience that better prepares a president. business experience, 57% of the voters said yes. government experience, 31% said yes. so this poll must make democrats concerned regarding barak obama's experience in government versus mitt romney's experience in business. >> let's remember this was a republican primary yesterday, gretchen. so any exit poll would have been primarily asking republican voters those questions and importantly, you're not asking me about whether allowing -- whether the opinion of a presidential candidate that detroit should be allowed to go

bankrupt was an important factor in their decision for the general election. so i think that's really going to be a huge issue in michigan coming into the general election. mitt romney said let detroit go bankrupt. barak obama rescued an iconic american manufacturing. >> gretchen: actually there was a poll on that, government bailout of u.s. auto makers and ironically, against your point, 50% of the people in this exit poll said that they did not agree with the government bailout. >> which means 50% of republican voters did. so if you ask that question of michigan people, which that question has been asked in polling, they overwhelmingly choose barak obama because he made sure that the 1.4 million jobs that support the american automobile manufacturers would remain in place. mitt romney would allow them to go down the tubes. >> gretchen: he would not have had his structured bankruptcy, just a regular bankruptcy, i think is the argument there. i want to talk about gas prices that has to do with cars and people paying so much more at the pump right now.

back when president bush was in office and the prices had gone up, you had this to say about the president and the prices. >> apparently they only know how to say yes, mr. speaker yes, mr. president, yes, ceo of oil company, i'm happy to do your bidding and whatever it is that you would like. those gas prices have not just crept, but leaped back up. we are now paying more than double for gas than when president bush first took office. >> gretchen: so i think you felt the president could have done something about lowering the gas prices. what do you say now that gas prices are going to reach $5 a gallon under president obama? >> what i was referring to in that speech as i have for many years is that focusing on fossil fuels and continuing the drill baby drill strategy that president obama rightly referred to the other day in south florida as a bumper sticker. not an energy policy, is not the

way to go. we are not going to address gas prices over the long-term because there is -- there is no president in the short-term that can really change policy and impact gas prices in a significant way. but what we do need to do is over the short-term and long-term make sure at that we are using the all of the above strategy that president obama employed, more domestic energy production than we've had in eight years, making sure we invest for the future in alternative energy like wind and solar, so we can really start to impact our need to depend on -- >> gretchen: a lot of americans are wondering what's going to happen now and a lot of those things take time. i do want to call your attention, though, to this map -- you brought up drilling and i want to you look at this map because under president bush versus under president obama, there is a stark difference as to the amount of drilling that's going on here domestically. this is under president bush and this is -- >> i'm sorry, i can't see the map here. >> gretchen: basically it shows

that there was a lot more drilling going on under president bush than under president obama. do you believe -- >> no, right now there is more, excuse me. >> gretchen: the policies -- >> there is more -- >> gretchen: the policies were enacted by president bush. >> please let me respond. >> gretchen: i do -- i'm running out of time and i really want to get to the question about whether or not a president can actually do something about gas prices. many people are saying that now with the situation in iran heating up and with the negative reaction to the keystone pipeline the president not taking a stand on that, or basically saying no, that those two things could eventually affect gas prices and bring them down. >> no. there is nobody that says that those two things could affect gas prices. gas prices, if you look at the -- you formerly called the minerals management agency, that focuses on that kind of energy policy, over the long-term, any change in drilling, for example, would take 20 years, about 20 years to impact the price of oil and the price of gas.

so we can't really do anything in the very short-term, which is why we need to be looking over the short-term and long-term, using all of the above strategy and let me again point out that right now under president obama, we have more domestic energy production than any time in the last eight years. >> gretchen: i went back to the fact that many people say that's because of the policies enacted under president bush. i got to leave it there. thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you. >> gretchen: you just heard what debbie wasserman schultz says about the rising price of gas. darryl issa straight ahead. let's take a peek inside the green room because regis philbin is here. >> i made it! i can't take these questions! so mitt romney won! what do you want from me? >> brian: i don't know. >> this is murder! let me out of here!

[ cheers and applause ] the extended-range electric chevy volt. hard to argue with the facts. ♪

>> steve: welcome back. we heard dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz defend the obama administration's record on rising gas prices. here to react is the chairman of the house oversight committee, congressman darryl issa. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: she just said that any drilling that this president or any president would do, you're not going to feel the impact of that for 20 years. do you agree with that? >> it couldn't be more wrong. unfortunately, she has a short memory of the facts previously used by her party. when we were looking at anwar a decade ago, they were claiming it would be ten years. now that that would be filling the alaskan pipeline, which is now practically at a point of shutting down because it doesn't have enough capacity or enough volume going through it, they've

switched to the 20-year plan. the fact is our committees looked at it. you're really talking from the time you give a drilling company the right to drill, in other words, the permit process is done, which can take between a few months and many years, you're only talking about three years to have full production, about seven years of useful life. so in her 20 years, you will have permitted, drilled, recovered, and closed up twice. >> steve: yeah. what about her assessment that apparently there is more domestic drilling going on in this country today than when george bush was president? >> you know, that's exactly right. during the bush administration, they opened up areas. they streamlined the permitting, plus several states also streamlined their states' rights. but what really happened was bush opened up areas to drilling and drillers became much more efficient. they almost never hit a dry hole. they get more extracted from existing wells and the president is benefiting from that.

but with lower amounts of permit, areas being closed, what's going to happen is whether he win has second term or not, that will begin to dry up as that three to seven-year cycle starts to go the wrong way. so it's very, very clear, yes, he's enjoying the benefits of his predecessor, not 20 year ago predecessor. three years ago predecessor. >> steve: let's talk about this food stamp fraud in this country costs us $750 million a year. and the scripps howard newspaper did an investigation and discovered that 4600 retailers that lost the ability to accept food stamps at their places of business. 1500 continue to accept the food stamps even though it looks like they were doing it fraudulently. >> steve, to give you the numbers, those are great numbers, there is about a quarter of a million places you can use your food stamp.

small group. 100 investigators over time found these 4600 that were clearly essentially defrauding the american people and in many case, depriving families of the food they should have because they were trading these food stamps for alcohol or cash to buy drugs. worse than that, these scripps howards organization, they didn't go do rocket science. they used open source. they compared two lists. the list of those who are getting it and the list of those who were denied it. this is something that at a basic level government should do. it was government's own databases that they entwhistle went -- went to and discovered there was no government oversight enforcement. >> steve: if they were accepting them after being thrown off the list, you would think someone in washington would go, hmmm, maybe they shouldn't be doing that. >> this is amazing because not only is it terrible fraud that 100 investigators spent a lot of

time proving so they could what we call debar these individual companies, but worse than that, remember, this is about food for families. so when people walk in with $100 food stamp and they trade it for alcohol or they trade it for cash to go use illicitly, children are being denied the food that we, the american people, put this program together for. it's about families. not about cash or alcohol for individuals. so they didn't just defraud the government, they defrauded the families that you and i pay taxes to help. >> steve: that's such a good way of putting it. congressman issa from the great state of california. thank you, sir. have a great day. >> thanks. >> steve: mitt romney pulled out two wins last night. and this morning, we know why. we have a fascinating look at the exit polls and some of the results are stunning. regis pill bin outside the studio -- philbin outside the studio. find out what he's been up to.

>> there is going to be a problem with him, but not with her! >> steve: do you want me to leave? >> stay right there. >> gretchen: brian, come on. i'll show you the studio, reg.

>> he think he's unchecked by the constitution. he's unresponsive to the will of our people and in a second term, he would be unrestrained by the demands of reelection. if there is one thing we can't afford, it's four years of barak obama with nothing to answer to. so we're going to get him out of that office and get him back home where he belongs. [ cheers and applause ] >> brian: that was mitt romney exhaling because he did win both his primaries yesterday. 47-27. he takes arizona. no surprise. this is where all the focus was. >> gretchen: michigan, which was his home state, or deemed as such because he was born there. his father was governor there. 41% to 38%. mitt romney beats rick santorum. but it was a squeaker. >> steve: let's take a look at some of the exit polling. why did mitt romney win in

michigan? well, he did very well with seniors. he actually beat the catholic candidate by five points. also he did very well with women and the number one thing aside from the economy that people want in a republican nominee is can they beat the current president? 61% of those who answered our exit poll question said mitt is the guy. >> brian: let's talk about weakness now. for weakness for mitt romney, strength for rick santorum, among evangelicals in michigan, he got 51% of the vote. romney, 35. >> gretchen: all right. and as you can see, newt gingrich and ron paul basically didn't compete in those two states. they were down in the numbers there. >> steve: meanwhile, we got some bad news for you. it starts with a fox news alert. new information in tornadoes that swept across the midwest overnight. number of casualties in kansas just went up again. 11 people are hurt. three are in critical condition. meanwhile, in missouri, one person is dead and there is reportedly heavy damage to the historic city of branson.

joining us from bridgeton, missouri, where the sun is up now, kim hudson. hello, kim. >> hello there. i could tell you we are just west of st. louis city. right now cars are still dodging this. this is one of several poles that fell down going up this road called st. charles rock road. now if you look a little to your right, we have power lines, they're very close to interstate 270. when they fell, they covered the interstate and that shut the interstate down for about three hours. now, missouri department of transportation crews, are clearing things up. the one thing they still have to open up is access to a road that leads to a hospital here. so modot crews are scrambling to get things cleaned up here in bridgeton. kim hudson, fox news. >> steve: all right. >> 1963. >> steve: we thank you very much

at people? >> no, no. i don't know where that began. >> brian: dana carvy. >> maybe that's it. i'm out of control! >> brian: here is the thing about you, if you don't mind me saying so. you're every man. when you hopped on television, it was regis philbin. when you left television, it's regis philbin. you're here in the green room like you are on the couch. >> i thought i did a show in the green room. 14 times. regis. just 30 seconds in the green room. then i got to the hallway. i'm on my way in. no. >> gretchen: they're called teases, as you know. >> i know. >> gretchen: we want to let people know you're coming on. >> who are the fox and who are the friends. >> brian: there is the fox. >> steve: you need to do the math? >> you know that this lady won the miss america title and did my show on channel 7 how many years ago? just a few years. >> more than 20. >> gretchen: we're going to show that in a little bit. they're going to make fun of how i looked back then and how good you looked.

>> you were miss america! what are they going to make fun of? >> gretchen: probably my hair and then we're going to show brian's picture. >> brian: which is also my hair. we got to talk to you. everyone knows who you are now. in mid '80, you go national, there is like regis philbin, he's a legend. but tell me about the transition from the military to the talk show host. >> i started out very slowly being able to tell people what i wanted to do. i thought television was beyond me because what can i do in tv? when tv came out, like in the 50s and people began watching it -- >> steve: there you are suited up. >> there i am. that's major bill rankin and there i am doing the radio in san diego, kson, 1240 on your dial. >> steve: you tell a story where in that car, you actually had a typewriter in the passenger seat. >> exactly right. there were about six guys, maybe four guys, who would go out every hour and every hour would be, you know, have to make a report. so if you saw a story that

fascinated you and you wanted to type it up, the microphone was there, typewriter was there, 12:00 o'clock, 11:00 o'clock, on the hour. >> steve: you did a funny story that real news people heard and they said that, guy is so hilarious, we want him to do features. >> that's how i broke into television. are you listening, gretchen? >> gretchen: i am. >> i see you drifting. >> gretchen: come on! >> anyway, i'm out there and it's every hour on the hour in san diego in the late 50s and there is nothing going on in that town at that time. it was a peaceful, beautiful little city. so i would go to the police station and i would check the files that the cops have to put up every day on what they had done that night. there was a funny story in there about a bank, a piggy bank that had been broken into and the contents stolen. the cop wrote it up and i took it from there and it became a somber discussion and it was very funny. >> steve: you owe your career of

the piggy bank -- >> in california. >> brian: the other thing is, to finish your earlier story, because i know you get mad at me when i cut you off, the marine came up to you and said you better believe in yourself. you better get your butt to los angeles and get a job. >> these two two wonderful guys i met in the navy when our ship was sent out to sea, i would stay with the commodore on the base. so i went into boq. i met these two marines who had been in the service since the early 30s, battlefield commissions, became officers, stayed with it all through the korean war. tough guys. but good guys. so i fell in with them. and at the end of my term in 1955, as a matter of fact, they said what, are you going to do? i said, i'd like to go into television, but i don't know. i don't know if i have any talent, what my talent is. well, on the very last day they

came in and told me, look, if you want something in life, you've got to go for it. you've got to go for it. and you've got to tell people and it's there for your taking. but you're the one that has to do it. >> steve: your book is so good because it talks about your life and you have done so much, but we want to keep you -- hold you over here. >> can i stand in the hallway? >> brian: no, you can not! >> gretchen: you can relax right here. >> it was beautiful! >> brian: we found out how -- >> keep roger ales out of here, would you? like he owns the place. >> steve: hate to tell you, he does. >> brian: how i got this way is the name of the book. more with regis philbin when we come back. he makes more of a connection with "fox & friends." i wouldn't be surprised if you're here every day. that's how connected i feel you are to us. >> really? why do you get that feeling? this is evil right here! >> gretchen: we have a sigh of relief from mitt romney because he won the michigan and arizona,

politics, larry sabato. what do we know -- what have you concluded from the three-point victory in michigan especially? >> i've concluded that mitt romney once again for the third time is back on track to being the republican nominee. but it won't be an easy trip. he's going to lose states next tuesday. there is no question about it. ten states on the ballot. he's going to win three, four, five of them, but he could easily lose half of them. there should be something there for all the other contenders. so this is going to continue to go on the track. we've seen romney up, then romney down, then romney back up. but he's in the best position to be the nominee. >> brian: ohio is the key, correct? that's where mitt romney goes today and where rick santorum will go today. what do we learn from ohio? >> listen, ohio is michigan without all of romney's connections. so it's a tough state for him. university of cincinnati polls, very accurate in the past, have

santorum up 11%. brian, what we've learned from this process is that 11% is going to shrink. will it shrink to the point where romney wins it? that's the question we have for seven days. but this is a critical seven days for romney. he's going to have to try to win ohio. that's the most important state on the ballot next tuesday. >> brian: do a hard thing. after a big victory, don't have a gaffe where he talks about not caring -- >> he's been a gaffe machine. but maybe he's learning to be more careful. he seems to realize he has a problem. that's the first step to solving a problem. >> brian: i realize i'm a gaffe machine, too, but i haven't fully come to grips with it. dr. sabato, thanks so much. always great. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: back in two [ female announcer ] ready for a taste of what's hot?
