>> ahoy, mateies, welcome to studio e. live in the heart of midtown manhattan and also on the west side of manhattan as well. >> because the newest member of disney's fleet of cruise ships is docked right here in new york city and our own rick reichmuth is there to give us a sneak peek. are you dressed up as one of the costume characters? where are you? >> no, i am not. i don't think they let just anybody dress up as mickey and minnie and pluto because these guys have special training. they appear to be a little bit shorter, also. you said it, disney fantasy is their fourth cruise ship and it got christened last night, mariah carrey, jerry sign field, neil patrick harris were all here. did you see those guys? it was good. this is an amazing ship. we got to come out here the last couple of days and give you an idea of what we have. it is an incredible thing. there will be kids all over the

country very excited and begging their parents to get on this ship for a vacation. it's really spectacular. here all morning, guys. anything to say? yeah. >> cat got her tongue. >> you're going to be updating us on this brand new cruise ship on the west side. you've seen it. >> i have. >> and it's awe inspiring. >> i drove by it the last two mornings and they have these lights that go like this in the middle of the night just announcing disneyland is currently in -- is parked on the west side of manhattan. >> and batman, we need help! >> batman. >> let's do a couple of headlines for your friday because while you were sleeping, rush limbaugh was wide awake because the bomb squad showed up at his house. a suspicious package wound up outside his home in palm beach, florida. several homes nearby were also evacuated. i'm sure they loved that while the bomb squad checked it all out. inside a small electronic plaque commemorating the assassination of president abraham lincoln. turns out one of his listeners sent him a package. that listener apologizing this morning for all of the trouble that he caused.

oops! for the second time this week, bullets flying on a high school campus. terrifying scene unfolding this time at wilcox high in southeastern arizona. a 40-year-old man firing a rifle at two students watching a varsity baseball game from their car. one was hurt by broken glass and the other managed to escape. the man also shot at a school employee trying to help the students. no one was seriously hurt. the suspect is behind bars this morning. no word yet on what the heck was his motive. batten down the hatches. two days after tornadoes tore through the midwest and south, more may sweep through today. they could be even worse. these are pictures from illinois, a tornado left six people dead there in harrisburg. another round hitting this afternoon. a total of 13 people were killed by the severe storms and there were deaths in kansas, tennessee and missouri. all of those states now trying to deal with the widespread destruction. a family of conservative activists and a familiar face on

the network, andrew breitbart believed that he died of a heart attack. l.a. coroner's office not giving an official cause of death yet until after today's scheduled autopsy. he died early thursday morning while walking outside of his california home. friends remembering him. >> i remember the first time i met him, i spotted him across the room. to me he was the huge rock star. he really revolutionized the conservative moment and i spotted him across the room the same time he saw me and i walked over with my hair extended to give him a proper hello and handshake and he literally scooped me up in a giant bear hug, lifted me off the floor. >> the free market and freedom was the way to go. and that really rankled him and he loved turning the table back on his enemies, sometimes with too much gusto, maybe not but he loved the fight. >> andrew breitbart leaves behind a wife and four young

children. he was only 43 years old. >> we're going to be hearing about larry o'connor a little later today, one of the people who worked for breitbart.com and bretbarttv and he's saying the work must go on. when he left, the 20 people that he left behind will still run it. >> right. they've been apparently working before this to relaunch all the web sites. that's going to happen this weekend plus they have some film projects and you'll hear a lot about some of the stuff they're work on in 10 days. >> in the meantime, president obama is back on the stump talking about his energy policies. and in the meantime, he is slamming big oil now for making a profit. so the question this morning that we have for you is do you think that there's anything wrong with big oil companies making a profit? let's listen to the president. >> i'm asking congress eliminate this oil industry give away right away. you can stand with oil companies or you can stand up for the american people.

right now, $4 billion of your tax dollars, $4 billion, subsidizes the oil industry every year. these companies are making record profits right now. tens of billions of dollars a year. every time you go to the gas tank or fill up your gas tank, they're making money. does anyone really think that congress should give them another $4 billion this year? >> so here's what the president is trying to do, he's trying to shape the dialogue on who is to blame for the spike in gas prices. remember, the republicans have said the president is to blame because he hasn't done enough exploration and expanded drilling and things like this. look at this brand new "washington post" pugh poll that asked americans who is to blame. today, barack obama 12 vs. george bush in 2005. who blames the president today? only 18% of people do. however, back in 2005, close to

30% thanks to the mainstream media blames george bush. who blames big oil? today, only 14% blame big oil whereas in 2005, it was 36%. obviously, they were the evil people behind the spike. and who doesn't know? well, a quarter of the country doesn't know. only 10% right now which goes to show the white house now is trying to shape the dialogue. trying to say it's big oil. don't blame us. blame them because there's a lot of political peril there. >> not necessarily. if you go back to that poll right there, what the numbers show is not supporting what the president is saying. the president in that little snippet that we showed you said it was a big oil problem and it was their fault but if you look at that poll, less people blame big oil now than they did back in 2005. >> he's looking to point fingers and he's doing it -- he said there's no silver bullet. we all got to do an everything on board approach. now he's saying it's the oil company's problem but is it a problem when the oil companies actually pay taxes?

let's look at what oil companies and gas companies pay. $ $100 billion in rent when they start to drill. $80 million each day in income taxes and production fees. let me also add that the stay competitive globally and to be able to hire people in this country, they actually -- that's what these tax breaks are really for, to level the playing field because of what other economies already do for their oil companies. >> in the meantime, this is sort of a trickle down effect because while that argument is going on, guess what else is happening, coal plants are shutting down now. five of them in pennsylvania. coal fired power plants. they're going to have to shut down over the next four years. they'll lay off approximately 315 people completely lose their jobs. because remember, the president has said this in the past in 2008. if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can. it's just that it will bankrupt

them because they'll be charged a huge sum for all that green house gas that's being emitted. so is this a trickle down effect now of the energy policy we've seen for the last three years. >> five coal power plants will close down in pennsylvania and one as well in ohio because they have to choose between costly upgrades and look at what the president said back then. here's mitt romney talking recently about how the president of the united states simply does not understand how energy works in this country. >> when someone says do you want to bring in a pipeline that's going to create tens of thousands of jobs to bring oil in from canada, how in the world could you say no? but he did. this is a president who does not understand energy. he is the problem. he is not the solution. it's time to get him out of office and get somebody in if he's secure. >> mitt romney is going to win. rick santorum is going to be successful and newt gingrich is going to get the nomination.

it will be statements like that rather than this guy is bad and we're better. this is the deal on energy and this is what he can do. with mitt romney later in that speech, we go into very specifics that there's certain production in this area and this country is up because of private industry. the discoveries of shale in north dakota, etc., and pointed out, too, what the president is not doing in terms of drilling. let's take a look at mitt romney. what the after effects are of this two state win on tuesday. he's got to be pleased by. this the national poll according to rasmussen has mitt romney rocketing on top 40-24 to newt gingrich's 16, ron paul just 12. so mitt romney feels good about that, almost as good as he does with the gallup poll. gallup poll has him up by about nine. 35-24. gingrich is 15 and ron paul is 11. >> there's a big controversy brewing coming out of the michigan thing at least according to rick santorum. he's very upset with how these delegates have eventually been awarded. remember yesterday we told you that he was hoping that they would go 15 delegates to

santorum. 15 delegates to mitt romney. but here's what's happening now, mitt romney is getting 16 and santorum is going to get 14 and the santorum camp is saying that the two at-large delegates were supposed to be awarpeded proportionally and not winner take all. that the rules were changed at the last minute and that they're saying that it was romney's supporters behind closed doors who allowed that to happen giving romney the 16 and santorum only the 14. >> in truth, those rules were put out february 7th and everybody knew about those rules. >> exactly. and they went to the -- whoever won them popular vote. meanwhile, mitt romney also got some good news in wyoming. he won the wyoming caucuses with 39%. rick santorum had 32%. meanwhile, mitt romney says if he is elected president of the united states, he will not embarrass the people of the united states. >> we're a people that are patriotic, that are willing to serve one another, that were called upon to make a sacrifice for america. we'll do it. what we need in leadership is

individuals who will tell the truth and who will live with integrity. i will not embarrass you in the white house. >> yeah, i think that goes without saying. if you look at his track record. >> and santorum had this, though, to say about mitt romney in michigan. >> good, old boy supporting the moderate candidate, the one they feel comfortable with, the one that won't shake up the boat in washington, d.c. that -- we have to nominate those kinds of republicans. because we nominate those kinds of republicans, then independents and moderates will vote for them, as far as getting back to the roots of what made america great, well, you know, so many even in our party aren't quite sure that america is up to that anymore. >> and rick santorum can get back the momentum if he goes back to where he gave that speech in washington because saturday is their caucus. 36 delegates up for grabs. >> he also got some very good news and is going to announce it later today that in the last

period, he raised $9 million from 130,000 contributors so, you know what? he's got people who believe in him and are willing to open up the checkbook to try to get him into the white house. >> coming up on our show today, drunk driving on the runway? check it out. this guy pulled the stunt just seconds before a plane was supposed to land and police say this security meets the standards? huh? >> that guy was flying, too. >> and drunk. >> one of president's pet projects on the rocks laying off nearly 100 people. considering the track record, why do we keep repeating the same bad bet? stuart varney coming up next. >> now gas stations are considering hiring security guard. why do they need security guards? we're the ones getting robbed.

>> welcome back. president obama seems to be determined to gamble our hard earned taxpayer dollars away with bad bets on green energy companies. >> in fact, today, i'm announcing that the department of energy is awarding nearly $2 billion in conditional commitments to two solar companies. the second company is abound solar manufacturing which will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. >> it sounds great but that was back in 2010. well, it turns out those jobs, not permanent. abound solar now announcing it's laying off 70% of their work force. >> and stuart varney joins us now. stuart, is this another solyndra where you get government-backed money and ending up closing down or laying people off? >> yes, it's a solyndra like situation and abound solar adds to a very long and growing list

of failures in the green energy field. i'm going to run through some names for you that you may well have heard already. abound solar, that's the latest. a123, fiskar automotive, telsa motors, the national renewable energy lab, spectra watt. you add all that lot up together and the white house's own projection, they did a special study, how much are we going to lose on these green energy projects? their own study said $2.7 billion and probably more than that. >> the thing about solar is we're just not quite there on the technology. you believe that people across the country should be doing, you know, research and trying to figure out how to make it work. >> yeah, r&d is one thing. we do that at our universities very well indeed. when it comes to setting up manufacturing plants, why is the government, our taxpayer money going towards that and then it fails.

why isn't private enterprise doing that? look, that's just one side of the failure of the president's energy policy. >> what's the second? >> the second one is fossil fuels. actually oil. the price of gas is skyrocketing. it's got to $3.74 today. we're not producing all the oil that we could be producing. the president has no answer to higher gas prices. and in fact, all these doing is taking a political stance, beating up on the oil companies and saying we're going to tax them more. can you tell me, gretchen, how does taxing an oil company get you lower gas prices? how do you do that? you get more oil out of the ground for that? do you get lower gas prices? i don't think you do. >> but it's a populous message again. >> of course. it's pure politics. it's not good policy. it's not going to help america and its energy problem. it may be buying some votes. >> sure, and exactly right, he's trying to control the discussion. we just showed a pew poll that shows a quarter of the people in the country doesn't know who to blame. so what the white house is trying to do is look, big oil,

they got that $4 billion in the bank. they're the ones -- and real quickly, you said fiskar got our money? that means, you know justin bieber got a free fiskar yesterday on the ellen show. we bought justin bieber's $100,000 car? >> yes, they put out a line of very expensive, i think -- >> he got a karma. >> that's right, the karma, over $100,000 for the car, all electric. they haven't sold many. are they now giving them away to celebrities? >> one to justin bieber yesterday. >> that's your money. >> 18th birthday. >> have a fantastic weekend and we'll be watching you at 9:20 a.m. on the fox business network. varney & company. coming up on our show, if israel is planning to attack iran, it's not telling the united states. should that concern us? do americans deserve a heads-up? is that really the story? that's next. >> then you've seen the new extreme coupon craze and retailers are ready to fight back. brand new rules set to limit everybody's discounts. what about double coupon day?

>> tensions are mounting ahead of israeli benjamin netanyahu's meeting at the white house and that's happening on monday. that's because there are reports that israel may strike iran's nuclear facilities without even giving the u.s. a warning first. here's what israel's president had to say. >> the state of israel is a sovereign state. has the right and capacity to defend ourselves against any threat.

when we say that all options are on the table, we really mean it. >> so where does that leave the u.s.? let's ask a guy that was just there in israel, congressman mike rogers, chairman of the house intelligence committee. he's back from israel. congressman? is it ok with you if we don't get a warning? >> well, i prefer not to have it that way, brian, but unfortunately, there's a couple of things happening. i think the israelis just don't believe this administration when they say all options are on the table. they make it pretty clear they're just not sure that's right and unfortunately, the iranians believe that same thing. so what you have seen is, yeah, the intelligence services and the military working very well together between the united states and israel but there's this gap that i think -- that i hope gets fixed when the president meets mr. netanyahu on monday. >> well, we also know reportedly reagan wasn't told they were going to bomb out iraq's plants. i heard that bush was not told in 2007 when they blew up

syria's nuclear facility so this could be par for the course, right? >> it could be. this is a little bit different because those are simple strike activities and simple probably an overstatement but they are single strike activities. this is a bigger thing. you're going to have multiple targets in iran. it will have blowback. we think that clearly the iranians will respond. and we have an obligation to protect israel when it comes to those missiles that come back in. so i argue it would be great if we could fix this relationship so that we could have a better dialogue about what needs to happen next with iran going nuclear which is a whole bunch of trouble. >> when the president speaks to the jewish organization ipac today, i believe, he's going to say relations between the u.s. and israel are better than ever. what's the reality? >> i just don't believe that, you know, again, our military and intelligence services working exceptionally well together. there has been some improvement at that level. but the -- the senior decision maker level between israel and

the united states is just a little off kilter and we need to get it better. and just because you say it doesn't make it so and i'll tell you, israel is very nervous because they got a lot of trouble. they've got -- egypt is kind of going south on them in their border. hamas is better armed. hezbollah, more missiles and so now you have this iranian nuclear threat and they turn around and they're thinking, is the united states really with us? we can't have that. we need to let them understand we're with them completely. >> and chairman, overall, we heard about an assassination attempt that was going to take place by the saudi ambassador that was rooted in iran, was going to utilize in a mexican cartel and take place in the nation's capital. have this been any ramifications for iran trying to pull off this plot? >> well, that's been part of the problem and i said that back then, brian, is that if there isn't, then they're going to feel a little frisky, iranians. they're feeling like they're winning. so not only did you not see any ramification from that particular event but then you see all of the other assassination attempts they just

tried. they were targeted towards israel but in new delhi and bangkok and tiblisi. this is an iran that thinks we're kind of winning here. unilateral pullout in iraq, iran said that's a win for us. we need to look at iran through their eyes and realize why they're so forward leaning say we don't have a lot of options here and we need to have a better understanding of where we're going to be if something bad happens. >> only good that has come out of world events is syria's demise and they're in utter turmoil. that means iran has lost potentially their best friend in their region and their partner in terror. congressman rogers with your f.b.i. background and chairmanship, there's few better people we could talk to today. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, brian. thanks for having me. >> drunk driving on the runway? this guy pulled this stunt just seconds before a plane was supposed to land. and police say this security meets the standard? and we're going to take you live to the christening of disney's

>> this story may get you. check this out. see that little plane there. no, that's not a plane. that's a car. >> that's a jeep grand cherokee. you thought you would only see planes on tarmacs when planes are about to land right behind that. 15 seconds away, a u.s. airways flight is coming in and a jeep is on the tarmac instead. why? because the guy was apparently drunk and just came right through the fence. >> well, kenneth masick, 24 years old probably should not have been drinking and driving and then apparently and we don't know why he drove through a chain link fence but he did just that and wound up on the secure runways. apparently, no planes were in danger there in philly. there's the fence that he drove

through. it doesn't look like a high security thing. here around the new york city airports, they have those barricades that go up and go down in the concrete so this can never happen. >> this is 11:00 a.m., right, in the day. >> happy hour. >> if you see this is shot from the cockpit of another plane that's parked right there and there was another plane within 100 feet and as you hear the pilot talk to the traffic control, they essentially said there's a car there. i think you should pull up. >> important point to make is that there's been a lot of criticism about air traffic controllers as of late. they're sleeping on the job and doing other things. it was air traffic controllers that saw this and thanks to their good attention and quick attention were able to tell a plane 10 to 15 seconds from landing, hey, by the way, you have to go back up in the air and it wasn't just that airplane, it was -- you know how this whole pattern of planes coming in so hats off to those air traffic controllers. here's the bigger problem. the security officials there at this airport say everything is fine. everything is fine. >> a wire fence that a jeep can plow down is ok. >> sure. just imagine, some of these

airplanes nowadays can hold 500 people. i don't know if philly can land the great big ones or not. what's not to say that that jeep was leading with explosives? drive through that. park under the thing. detonate under a plane. that theoretically could happen. it's just -- and for them to say as gretchen just pointed out that not a security problem? seems like it's a security problem. >> just think there's two terror things that happened yesterday that stand out when people thought it could be a terrorist. rush limbaugh's situation and this airport situation. these pilots think of themselves, here we go again. >> all right, now to your other headlines for a friday. a very scary situation at a banks in southern california. a swat team storming the bank, i hope i said that right, yesterday to rescue the mrpg. she was taken hostage by a gunman during a robbery. the officers broke down the front door to save her. good news, she's safe and not hurt. the gunman was wounded in a shootout. he is in serious condition. three members of the swat team also injured. they're going to be ok, though, there were other people inside

the bank when the gunman entered but were allowed to leave. scary. brian? >> all right, i'll go from here. students who return to chardon high school today the first time since a student opened fire killing three teens. the hero coach, the football coach that chased down the accused gunman out of the school delivered a heartfelt message yesterday. >> i can't tell you how great these children are. how great these kids are. to the families of danny, demitrius and russell, i want you to know i was with them. i prayed with them. i wiped their tears and i know god was with them. >> meantime, funeral plans have been set for those teens. there will be a viewing today for the 16-year-old daniel parmator, russell king jr. and 16-year-old demitrius may be laid to rest next week. two other students also shot, one remains in serious condition. accused gunman, 17-year-old t.j. lane has been charged as a juvenile.

prosecutors now fighting to have him tried as an adult. >> meanwhile, the assistant to "amazing race" producer jeff rice out of the hospital this morning and revealing what she says really happened the night her boss mysteriously died. we told you about this earlier. katherine fuller admits she and rice were not attacked but they voluntarily ingested cocaine from a local drug dealer in uganda. that cocaine apparently contaminated. rice died right there on the spot. fuller is paralyzed on the right side. we're told she's already paid a $420 fine on drug possession charges and will be released to her native south africa right away. what were they thinking? >> it's a coupon crackdown. they are fighting back at extreme couponers. stores are blocking bulk buyers from getting double and even triple discounts using print and

on-line coupons at the same time. oh, wow. i don't like that. they're banning couponers from redeeming loyalty rewards on the same day that they earn them. come organization they're just being smart and putting it all together. guess they can't do it anymore. brian, what's going on? >> all right, nba suddenly hot and no one is hotter than the heat. no pun intended but you can take it that way. they traveled to portland in search of their ninth win in a row. no chris bosh, though, he's tall but good and hurt so they needed a huge game from lebron james and dwayne wade. they're both on the same team and they got it. they beat the blazers 107-93 and all around incredible effort for king james. 38 points, 11 boards, six assists, five steals. wade also on fire. he had 33 points and 10 assists. i wonder if they can keep this up, though. miami 28-7. finally, they seem to be getting it together. reflective of their talent. it's their best 35 game start in history of their franchise. bosh also expected out tonight because of a death in the family.

and putting is still a major problem for tiger woods. what is going on? last week he got headaches at the matchplay and now it's deja vu, honda classic. finished 1 over 71 and was second to last in the field for putting. woods admits he spent time trying to fix the putting woes and clearly not working. the good news is the other areas of his game, solid again. first time in playing there since 1993 with just 7 shots behind the leader. ryder cup captain davis love iii who got michael jordan into golf, rory mcelroy two shots behind love. more on this and so much more if you want, go to fox and friends.com and click on keeping score and you'll get my sports blog. >> it's informative over the weekend so i can spend time with you. >> and hang out in sports bars. >> and sound like i know what i'm talking about. >> let's hang out on the high

seas. disney's cruise line christening the brand new ship called fantasy. rick reichmuth is here to tell us about last night's star studded event here. it was a fantasy on the high seas in new york, wasn't it, rick? >> yeah. it really was. really big event. ey got the a list celebrities to come out for this event. last night, one of the big ones is mariah carey. we have to talk to her and take a listen to what she said about this new ship. >> the night was so festive and i love disney. it's great to be here. >> i love the tower of terror. that's my favorite ride. it's the best ride ever. >> i grew up with this and i have to say, my disney movie memories that were animated initially, one of the most potent was going to drive-in movie when they still existed and seeing pinocchio. >> i'm really here. i'm part of it. and i see how incredible this thing is. to see the craftsmanship, it's

kind of insane! >> really big event, obviously really exciting. now everybody wants to get down to business and figure out what all is in this ship. one of the really cool things is animators palate, one of the restaurants here on the ship. and people can make their own cartoons and their own artwork while they're eating dinner. can suddenly become part of a cartoon so i've got bob here, you designed this entire production. how does this work? >> basically, we want to celebrate the magic of disney animation so we invite guests to come in, sit down and draw any kind of character they want through a little bit of disney magic, character comes to life during dessert in the big finale hosted by mickey mouse. >> what if you're not a good artist? does it make a difference? >> the simpler the character, the better it looks. they all look cute. >> so brian and steve and gretchen, we got one done of brian early on. so this, brian, is you. what you look like on paper. you like it? >> really? >> can't see it. >> if we could zoom in a little bit. wow that is good -- >> zoom in on this a little bit. >> you know how often i stand

disney cruise before. >> just went over to the european disney cruise but not a ship this big. >> accent on fun. >> really is. >> coming up on the show, conservatives has a liberal friend attacked your point of view or vice versa? there's a way to turn the talking points arnold. that's interesting. >> google is tracking more than your internet searches. now they're watching e-mail, video and more. is that legal? is there a way around it? is it time to yahoo it? we'll talk to the judge.

i remember the day my doctor told me i have an irregular heartbeat, and that it put me at 5-times greater risk of a stroke. i was worried. i worried about my wife, and my family. bill has the mos common type of atrial fiillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. he was taking warfarin, but i've put him on pradaxa instead. in a clinical trial, pradaxa 150 mgs reduced stroke risk 35% more than warfarin without the need for regular blood tests. i sure was glad to hear that. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate

medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or bloodthinners, or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke ri. other side effects include indigestio stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk of stroke with pradaxa. >> welcome back. will the 2012 elections prove that mainstream america has finally had enough? since president obama's election in 2008, our next guests say a storm has been brewing. >> i don't believe this is just about health care.

it's not about tarp. it's not about left and right. this is about the systemic dismantling of this country. i'm only 35 years old. i've never been interested in politics. you have awakened a sleeping giant. >> the sleeping giant. so are many more people finally taking notice of the issues? let's ask the authors of "waking the sleeping giant." tim daughtry and gary casselman, good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> who is the sleeping giant? >> sleeping giant is what we're calling in the book the mainstream america which is comprised of the 40% who identify themselves as conservative and 40% who identify themselves as moderates or independents. >> and the way you lay it out in your book is you've got this minority and they say 21%. we got a graphic. 21% of people in america identify themselves as liberal. double that conservative. so you're saying that this minority and once you factor in the moderates as well is pushing around the majority.

how are they doing it? >> absolutely. the left have had a number of tactics for years that we talk about in the book. one of the tactics they use is they don't debate, they attack. if you look at any major issue in the united states, what you see is the left is almost always on the attack and the mainstream is almost always on the defensive. >> uh-huh. >> perfectly good example right now is this whole flap going on with the catholic church. that whole issue arose out of the issue of do you believe in a right to privacy in the constitution? a question in a debate a few weeks back and all of a sudden, the left has turned that into a question of whether the mainstream wants to outlaw contraception and it's an absurd question. >> absolutely and the mainstream media has framed it just like that. it's a war on women. it's not. it's a war on religion. what you say is that one of the problems with conservatives is the fact that they're not demanding. you know they're more kind of live and let live. see what's happening. and they have got to learn from the liberals and make some

noise? >> yeah, one of the points that we make in the book, i think, pretty strongly is that there are pretty significant differences between the far left and what we're calling mainstream america in terms of their character type. character type of the mainstream is much more live and let live conflict avoidance, personal responsibilities expressed through taking care of their personal lives, their families, their businesses, the far left is much more combative, argumentative, confrontational and in your face than mainstream is. >> the system we talked about a moment ago is the right needs a strategy and it involves the three r's. and they are recognize, reframe and refocus. briefly, what does that mean? >> recognize the path that the left wants to take you down. they always want to put us on the defensive. then reframe the argument to put the left on the defensive. that's the main thing that we've got to do. we outnumber the left. we need to be able to put them on the defensive.

and then refocus the argument so that we're talking about the issues that are important to us. so with the whole situation with the catholic church, an example of that would be, you know, if you want to talk about privacy, let's talk about the right to choose your own health care in private. for heavens sake, let's talk about the right to pack your own kids' lunch box without a governor worker sticking their nose in your lunch box if you want to talk about privacy. that puts the left on the defensive. from there, we can begin to talk about the real issue which is this country is going off a debted cliff. if we don't get that turned around, then nothing else is going to matter. >> you guys know your stuff. you should write a book. you just did. it's called "waking the sleeping giant." timothy daughtry and larry casselman, good luck on the book. >> thank you so much. >> all right. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. remember the $750,000 soccer field built for terror suspects at gitmo? after days of reporting this story, the commanders finally answer the question, why? believe us, you don't want to miss their answer.

>> welcome back, everyone. google pressing ahead with a new privacy policy despite the controversy surrounding it. the agreement allows the web giant to track users' personal data to develop targeted advertising. so if this sounds like an invasion of privacy, you're not alone. >> so does the policy comply or circumvent the ftc regulations? let's ask judge andrew napolitano, senior judicial analyst with fox news. judge, does this bother you?

>> it doesn't bother me and i'll tell you why, this is a private company keeping track of the use of its facilities by its customers and then tailoring products that it offers to the needs of those customers sort of like if you go to your bank a.t.m. every friday and you're borrowing money from the a.t.m. and a week later, you get an e-mail from the loan department of the bank saying would you like a loan so that you don't have to keep making these small borrowings? google is not selling this information to anybody else. they're keeping track of who uses their services. then they're trying to tailor products they offer to the people who use them. that's one side. the other side is why do they need to keep a record of everything that we do? and is the existence of that record dangerous, could someone get their hands on it? the third side is if you don't like this, don't use google! use another search engine that doesn't keep these records. >> so this only affects people who actually have g mail e-mail.

>> that's correct. >> if i search on google, are they tracking my data? >> no, only if you use your own google, g mail account are they keeping records of that, we believe. now, of course, i haven't seen their internal workings but that's what they told the federal trade commission they would do in a consent decree that they entered into back around thanksgiving. >> but in the fine print of this privacy agreement, does it say anywhere in the future they can sell this information to a third party? >> it says in the future they can only sell it to a third party with the permission of the person whose information that's being sold so you would log on to your gmail account and they'll say, do you want this sold to a third party? click no, they can't. click yes, they can. that's probably what's coming next. but the agreement requires they get your permission to sell your private information as to how you use their engine. >> here's what google says. their quote. our updated privacy policy will make our privacy practices easier to understand and reflects our desire to create a seamless experience for our signed-in users.

>> i would add one word to that. >> updated invasion of privacy policy. >> but it's not the only company doing this. >> well -- >> i think you're probably -- >> go to the drugstore and use one of those cards, they're tracking what you buy, too. >> correct. i think you're probably right but it's the only large computer server that the ftc went after. >> interesting. all right, judge. have a fantastic day. >> you, too, guys. always a pleasure. happy friday. >> thank you. >> president obama is going back on the attack painting big oil as the big enemy. will that work? or will the people think something else? >> then this super tuesday, it will be all eyes on ohio. how the buckeye state could make or break mitt romney or rick santorum's bid.

>> don't you love it when you can say tgif?

it's friday, folks. and it's march 2nd. tgif. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time. president obama playing the game for those sky-high gas prices. is he playing the blame game? >> right now, $4 billion of your tax dollars, $4 billion subsidizes the oil industry every year. you can stand with the oil companies or you can stand up for the american people. >> should the president be pointing the finger at his own policies? is that why gas prices are so high? we'll explain. >> and this guy giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "flying high." a drunk driver causing absolute chaos when he drives on to an airport runway just seconds before a passenger plane lands. >> that would have been bad. plus a scare for the king of talk radio. the bomb squad being called to rush limbaugh's house last night. we'll tell you straight ahead. more on el rushbo and hour two

of "fox & friends" kicking off live from new york right now. >> i don't blame the rush limbaugh people for calling the cops. you open something up and there's a metal thing and a bunch of wires, who are you going to call? >> over here, it takes us -- >> ghostbusters? >> over here, it takes three weeks to get our flowers because they want to make sure the packages aren't ticking ooch auto who is sending you flowers? >> never know. a lot of people, steve. >> now i know where all the flowers have been going. >> they show up dead in the box. i'm not sure why. >> let's talk about oil. president obama, this is top of the mind with a lot of folks right now, the high gas prices. so is the president responsible for that in any way? can the president do anything about that? well, the president yesterday -- last week said no and yesterday seemed to have figured out who to blame. see if you can figure it out. >> i'm asking congress, eliminate this oil industry

giveaway right away. you can stand with the oil companies or you can stand up for the american people. right now, $4 billion of your tax dollars, $4 billion subsidizes the oil company every year. these companies are making record profits right now. tens of billions of dollars a year. every time you go to the gas tank or fill up your gas tank, they're making money. does anyone really think that congress should give them another $4 billion this year? >> they are certainly making a lot of money for the american economy and these other people do things for the oil companies. they work for them. and they employ a lot of people and they make a lot of profit and they hire more people. if they drill, they can hire more people and this other thing that happens, too, a lot of you have 401k. in it, sometimes they invest in the oil companies. these people called stockholders, those horrible people. they actually get a benefit from that because profits come in. >> so what is the white house doing?

the president has been talking about the big oil for four years. but right now, because, you know, he would like four more years to be the president of the united states, he's got to try to define the argument that it's big oil to blame. look at this brand new "washington post" pugh poll that shows who blames -- let's look at the obama 12 category. who blames the president? only 18%. who blames oil companies? only 14%. more actually blaming the president but that's the number below it. don't know. a quarter of the country doesn't know so what the mainstream -- what the president is trying to do and his men, trying to rally the mainstream media, get them to tell the story that it's big oil to blame because look at the column, bush in 2005. about a third of -- about 30% of the country blamed the president. 36% blamed big oil. and only 10% didn't know as opposed to right now where a quarter of the country does not know. >> so let's take a look at what oil and gas companies actually do pay. 41.1% compared to 26.5% for

other s&p industrial companies as far as taxes. $100 billion in federal government rents, royalties and lease payments. since 2001. $85 million each day in income taxes and production fees so they are putting money back into the government and back into the economy as well. in the meantime, while the president is slamming the big oil, what's the trickle down effect of this? coal plants now are shutting down. five of them in pennsylvania will have to shut down over the next four years. i believe about 350 jobs will be lost as a result of that and the companies say the problem is they can't keep up with the e.p.a. regulations that are coming down the pike for them. it's just too difficult. >> you know what's so interesting, china is buying our coal in order to do it. so they're buying one of our greatest natural resources and people always say with the saudi arabia of colal instead of trying to get them cleaner, they're trying to close them down. the ones based in houston are the ones that have the choice. they'll be forced to choose

between upgrades that cost so much, they won't be able to make a profit. or just taking it apart. they're going to taking it apart. >> the e.p.a. is cracking down on coal companies making it more expensive to burn coal. when you think of electric cars that they're pushing largely they run on coal. >> electricity. >> what runs the electricity? coal. they're cutting down on the number of coal plants. in order to get us to use less gas in the cars is the intent of this administration to get us to use less electricity as well? maybe. >> back in 2008 here's what the president said about this particular topic, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can. it will bankrupt them. they'll be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas being emitted. that's apparently what's happening. at least to this company right now. so i guess those comments were fortuitous. in the meantime, another guy

that wants to be president, mitt romney says he believes president obama does not understand energy policy. >> when someone says do you want to bring in a pipeline that's going to create tens of thousands of jobs to bring oil in from canada, how in the world could you say no? but he did. this is a president who does not understand energy. he's the problem. he's not the solution. it's time to get him out of office and get someone in who will get us secure. >> one of the things that the president of the united states did yesterday when he was there at the nashua community college in new hampshire was he showed this great big graph and it showed the u.s. independence on foreign oil has fallen since 2005 from 60% to 45% but what he didn't say is the reason it's fallen in large part is because of the policies instituted by george w. bush. doh! >> now to your headlines for a friday and we begin with a fox news alert. four more nato troops injured during an explosion in

afghanistan. according to a nato spokesperson, a homicide bomber carrying explosives on a motorcycle drove into their convoy. we still don't know if any of those soldiers hurt were americans. today's attacks followed the shooting deaths of six american soldiers over the past two weeks. their death following outbreak of nationwide protest in reaction to the burning of those qurans. while you were sleeping, rush limbaugh was wide awake because the bomb squad was at his house checking out a suspicious package. several homes in their palm beach neighborhood were evacuated while officers carefully opened the package. inside, a small electronic plaque commemorating the assassination of president abraham lincoln. it turns out one of rush's listeners sent him the package. that listener apologizing this morning for all the troubles that he caused. the weather forecast bringing more bad news for the midwest and south today. they're already dealing with widespread destruction now on a possible collision course with

more tornadoes. this may be worse than the deadly twisters on wednesday. death toll for all those tornadoes up to 13. six killed in the small town of harrisburg, illinois and there were deaths in kansas, missouri and tennessee. the twisters could touch down throughout the afternoon today. this video will make your heart stop. yep. a driver in a jeep cherokee slamming through a metal fence at the philadelphia airport and speeding down the tarmac. forcing one plane to abort its landing seconds before touching down. air traffic controllers were quick to keep other planes from landing. >> we got a rogue vehicle driving down on the airport. we're not talking to him and not moving anybody until we find this guy. >> turns out this was the guy. the suspect, he wasn't a terrorist. police say he was drunk. and now he faces a whole slew of charges. airport officials say the fence met f.a.a. standards and they have no plans to upgrade it. uh-huh. those are your headlines. looks like it was relatively

easy to bang through. >> yeah, right. but one other thing, i didn't finish my thought just on the george w. bush thing. i said doh! as it turns out, the president did give former president george w. bush credit for the production. >> on a separate note, you're at home and today, there's a blackboard in the kitchen. why? because you're home schooled. like a lot of people, like tim tebow, for example, but when school is done and mom gets back to everyday life and dad does -- unless he's teaching himself, you ask yourself can i go out and play on the school team whether it's soccer, lacrosse, football, basketball, volleyball or anything else, should i be allowed to if i'm not participating in that school. >> it's interesting because i hadn't really thought about this in my own mind yesterday because my kids were not home schooled and i was not home schooled although i know it's very popular to do that. after thinking about it, do these home school parents pay taxs in their community?

yes, they do. just like you do if you send your kids to private schools. you pay the tax. in my mind, the kids should be allowed to play the public school sports because they're paying the taxes. here the thing in virginia. they're not saying that they automatically should get a spot on the team. that wouldn't be fair. what they're saying is let us have the opportunity to come and show you we can hit the tennis ball and we can hit the soccer ball and throw that pass. if we're good enough, allow us to make the team. >> over in our state in new jersey they do that but down in virginia, yesterday, the state senate killed the so-called tebow bill. they had been lobbied by the state's public schools sports league and teachers associations as well saying, you know, do you really want to do that? at the end, the senate said no to the tebow bill. >> yeah, here's the quote from the minority leader. the parents know that choice and they know what the ramifications are. so you teach your kid at school

and he can't go play sports? >> 25 states do allow this. >> i'm with the 25 states. >> i don't know. i don't know if that's the ramification of deciding that you want to home school but you're still paying taxes. what do you think? e-mail us or twitter us and let us know. >> i would have a lot of study halls. my mom would be so sick of talking to me. take another study hall! >> from the dining room and now you're in the foyer. >> from algebra. >> it's 7:11 now in new york city. it's no longer the happiest place on earth. this disney ride shut down before opening day because the p.c. police might not like it? we'll tell you that. >> and then super tuesday right around the corner and this time around, it's all about ohio. will the buckeye state be the make or break this election cycle? at least for next week. we've got a lot of them, right? that's coming up.

>> 16 minutes after the top of the hour. the race for the g.o.p. nomination about to heat up again. in a big way. come next tuesday, 10 states will hold their nominating contests with none more important arguably than the battleground state of ohio. right now, rick santorum has the edge there leading mitt romney in the buckeye state by a margin of 36% to 29% among likely republican voters. so what makes ohio so important? joining me now, former mccain presidential campaign advisor and republican strategist julianna glover and former obama campaign advisor and democratic strategist john helanko. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> that poll was taken before the results of michigan and arizona. julianna, would you surprise now that mitt romney would be gaining on rick santorum in ohio? >> yes, indeed. i think he'll be gaining

significantly. prior to the election, it was indeed a seven point spread. but as we've seen in the national polls, romney was now ahead there. it's very likely at this point in time he's ahead in ohio. >> how important is ohio? we know in a presidential election, it means everything. what about in this particular process? >> i think it's a big deal. at a certain point if santorum is going to overtake romney, he's going to win. this is a big state and very important state. if he doesn't win, it's not the end of it. but it's very, very important. i mean, there's no doubt the momentum is with romney at this point. and the question is, can santorum overcome that? and ohio would be the place to do it. >> when you look at the rest of super tuesday, we're looking at a lot of states in the south and newt gingrich is putting all his eggs in the basket in his home state of georgia. do you predict that he will walk away with a win there and only there or will he be a factor, again, moving forward? >> well, leading up to michigan, looked like santorum

was nipping at gingrich's heels so it's very likely that santorum could indeed have passed gingrich in georgia and, of course, romney will have a lot of momentum going into there. i would be surprised if gingrich wins georgia at this point in time. >> newt is an interesting character. every time he's counted out, he keeps on coming back and coming back. at this point, the anti-romney vote is mostly consolidated with santorum, but, you know, its been a crazy election and it's possible -- >> you can say that again. >> it's been unreal. >> as a political junkie, i'm loving it. if newt could take georgia, you know, this thing could keep going and going. >> but as far as a competitor that the democrats would like to see, would you like to see -- who would you like to see winning ohio and moving forward? >> i would like to see the race go on as long as possible but, you know, i -- i think probably santorum would be the weaker kanld -- candidate but crazier

things have happened. >> what about you? this has been an argument. it's interesting when you go out and listen to the heated debates and arguments between hillary clinton and barack obama, that went on for quite sometime all the way into spring and at that time, i think the republicans were looking back and thinking wow, that really energized democrats to get excited about the political scenario so they wanted to maybe create that. but has it been a good thing now for republicans? >> no, it's not been a good thing for romney. if you recall at that point in time, obama actually increased his favorables by 20% during the primary process. romney, unfortunately, has seen his favorables drop 20% in the opposite. so it's been an absolutely different result for both of them. >> why? has it been the more negative advertising that we've seen? >> i think that obama has had an opportunity to really share a message. and really talk to the american people back in 2008 and romney, unfortunately, has just had to focus negative advertising on gingrich and santorum and there's been no real positive message coming out of there

aside from that detroit economics speech last week which was about a 20% tax cut across the board for the american people. >> john? >> i would agree. i mean, i think the big difference,, too is in the democratic race, both the obama supporters and the hillary supporters were both pretty passionate about their kanld -- candidates. i think with romney, when it comes to base, they're just not into him. that's the big, big difference. when you have that combined with the negativity, i would agree. the approval ratings are going down and negative ratings are going up but, you know, the democratic race, it got very fierce. i'm not saying they can't overcome it. it feels like a different kind of beast. >> i'll go back to what you said earlier, crazy election cycle with a capital c. have a great weekend. >> thank you, you too. >> coming up on our show, media matters, the left wing organization trying to take down fox news. it's in the cross hairs of a high profile attorney and he's a democrat. don't want to miss that story next. >> they're saving the earth one

that does not include the $4.6 million the mortgage giants are asking for now. next $25,000, that's how much the e.p.a. is giving to a utah dance company so they can teach kids about pollution in a creative way. fantastic. finally, $100,000. that's how much justin bieber's new sports car costs, the karma fisker given to justin on his 18th birthday on the ellen degeneres show. all of us can relate to that story. >> thank you very much, brian. media matters, the liberal left wing organization with close ties to the white house may end president obama's hopes of getting re-elected in november. those words now coming from a well known harvard law professor, professor alan dershwitz and he says media matters is "posting anti-jewish, anti-israel hate speech on their site" and that their rhetoric is dangerous for the president. and said attorney and harvard law professor joins us from miami. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. thank you for having me on. >> great to have you.

you have declared war on media matters. why? >> well, you know, i'm a liberal democrat. but i can't tolerate bigotry on any site of political spectrum, media matters has crossed the line. they have accused any supporters of israel of being israel firsters. they've accused apac, the organization that president obama is going to speak in front of as having only one loyalty to israel and not to america at all. they've accused us essentially of treason. it's the oldest of charges and goes back to the bible, to pharoah to stalin to hitler accusing jews of dual loyalty. it can't be tolerated. >> there's a fellow in particular on the staff over there that's really raised your ire, his name is m.j. rosenberg and he's a senior fellow. here's a quotation of why media matters hired him. they said "they hired me specifically to be involved with this issue, with the palestinian issue, with the issue of stopping the war with iran. you say as long as he is on the staff, you are going to have

this war against media matters. what do you want them to do with him? >> well, i want them to fire him. here's a man who praised helen thomas for saying the jews should get the hell back to poland. he said she should be saluted. he has supported ahmadinejad denying that ahmadinejad wants to wipe israel off the map. he says we can tolerate a nuclear iran. he has crossed all the lines. and media matters has to fire him or the president and the white house have to disassociate themselves from media matters. the tent is not big enough to include people who have engaged in bigotry against the jewish people. bigotry against christian supporters of israel. bigotry against anybody who thinks it's in america's interest to support israel in relation to iran, hamas or hezbollah or any of israel's enemies. i love america. i would die for my country. i think it's best for america and world peace for the united

states and israel to work together to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons and for that, he calls me an israel firster and disloyal to america. and his response, by the way, very intelligent in response. he said go to hell to me and the best response to me is to have people pick at my classes. that's no answer and media matters has to take this issue up. >> professor, is media matters anti-semitic? >> well, i think that rosenberg has crossed the line. when you accuse jews of dual loyalty, you invoke a kenard that goes back hundreds of years and falls into the category of anti-semitism. to the extent that media matters hired him to do that and is tolerating him to do that, they've crossed the line. >> you said this issue could become the jeremiah wright issue for this administration of 2012. >> that's right. unless the administration disassociates itself from media matters and stops having strategy sessions and stops inviting him to the white house and stops being associated with them, the president should do to

media matters what he did to jeremiah wright, totally disassociate, rebuke and say i stand with israel. he has an opportunity to do that when he meets at apac. i think he will show support for israel and support for apac but he has to distance himself from media matters. they're too close today for comfort. it's going to hurt him in the re-election campaign. >> thank you very much for joining us from miami. there are a lot of people across this country that had no idea media matters was involved in this. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> you bet. >> what do you think? e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. coming up, the president reaches a major milestone in fundraising. how his bank account is shaping up in his quest for re-election. he was busy here in the big town yesterday. and we're going to take you to the christening of disney's newest cruise ship. rick reichmuth is trying to rock the boat on the west side of manhattan.

it's bring your happiness to work day. campbell's microwavable soups. in three minutes -- the deliciousness that brings a smile to any monday. campbell's -- it's amazing what soup can do. we want to protect the house. campbell's -- right. but... home security systems can be really expensive. to save money, we actually just adopted a rescue panther. i think i'm goin-... shhh! we find that we don't need to sleep that much. there's an easier way to save.

geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis,

lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ male announcer ] enbrel. the #1 biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. >> while visiting a g.m. plant the other day, president obama pledged to buy a chevy volt after his presidency in five years. president obama said make it one year and i'll buy it right now.

>> a volt jolt. >> one thing about the president, if you were looking for him last night, he was in new york city. >> thanks for the traffic! >> no problem. yeah. he had three separate fundraisers and he cashed in to the tune of $5 million. >> uh-huh. >> he knows how to raise the dough. but let's compare how many fundraisers the president had at this point in time of his presidency compared to president george w. bush and you can see that it's 103-56. >> wow. >> for president obama, remember, we've been telling you that president obama may be the first president ever to have a $1 billion campaign war chest. >> sure, he's got to come to new york city to shake that money tree. here he is last night talking about how he needs -- >> it takes more than a single term, it takes more than a single president. it takes more than a single individual. what it takes is ordinary citizens who keep believing, who are committed to fighting and pushing and inching this country

closer and closer to our highest ideals. i am not a perfect man and i will not be a perfect president. i promised you back then that i would always tell you what i believed. and do everything possible to make sure that this country that has given me and michelle and our kids so much, that that country is there for everybody. and you know what? i have kept that promise. and if you want to hold that vision we have for america in your heart, then i promise you, change will come. >> the question is he can still deliver it. he's still got passion and loves to campaign. but do you still believe it? >> ok, so last night, he said i need four more years, what about what he said three years ago, when he said if i can't deliver in three years, it will be a one term proposition so you've got the two different voices of barack obama. >> the main one -- >> you know his answer to that.

do nothing congress and i got unemployment -- >> those evil republicans. >> i was going to say the change he has said takes longer than just the four years in the first term. that's his argument. let's do some headlines for you now. the assistant to "the amazing race" producer jeff rice finally out of the hospital this morning and revealing what she says really happened the night her boss mysteriously died. katherine fuller admits she and rice were not attacked but they voluntarily ingested cocaine from a local drug dealer in uganda. that cocaine reportedly contaminated. rice died on the spot and fuller now paralyzed on the right side. we're told she already paid a $420 fine on drug possession charges and will be released to her native south africa right away. wow. >> meanwhile, if you think electronic voting systems are secure, try explaining how the guy you're about to see won an election. >> i'm unstoppable!

>> i love futureama. bender, the robot from that comedy cartoon elected to head the washington, d.c. school board. no, he actually didn't win the race. election officials were testing their e voting security system and invited college students to try hacking in. a team from the university of michigan breached the system easily and successfully and made bender the winner of the mock elections. way to go, hackers! >> hey, president nicolas sarkozy booed and jeered so loudly by protesters he ran for cover inside a cafe. riot police swarming to protect him. he was not hurt. sarkozy eventually left the cafe and continued campaigning. >> that was in france, of course. wonder what they were so upset about. the commander of gitmo is defending the construction of a $744,000 soccer field for terror suspects at guantanamo bay. rear admiral david wood said the brand new field complete with

lights will only be used by well behaved prisoners. 120 inmates out of the 171 being held at gitmo will have access to the field and he says it's good for their morale. as for the cost, woods says, it's expensive to build at the base because every piece of equipment has to be shipped there by barge or plane due to the cuban embargo. my only question about that is why do they need lights on it? isn't it good enough to play during the daylight? >> i don't think they should be playing. i have a bigger question. i do not think they should be playing shirts and skins soccer in cuba. >> you know what? if they want a field, why don't they build it themselves. they're able bodied men. give them some rakes, give them some shovels right over there. >> can al-qaida do turf? we'll have to see. >> all right, meanwhile, let's take a look at where it is raining on the turf. and where it is sunshiny, as you can see, we have some storms moving through dixie land and also another storm system brewing in the central missouri and mississippi valley. some of these storms in the eastern half of the united states later on today could be on the severe side.

there's a possibility for some tornado outbreaks so stay tuned to fox and your local stations. meanwhile, let's take a look at the readings as you head out the door on this first friday in march. >> i thought it was supposed to be hot here. >> are you complaining? >> yes. look at caribou, maine, they only have 3. we have 11 times that. >> they're used to it. >> they are. meanwhile, it's 47 right now in raleigh, we have 60's and 70's down south and a quick scan of today's daytime highs, 4:00 this afternoon, there you got them. brian, hang on. it's going to be a hot 44 in new york. >> i hope so at randalls island where i'll be tonight at 7:30. >> disney cruise line is adding a new member to its fleet. yesterday here in new york, they christened the fantasy. our own rick reichmuth is out there checking out the new ship. what's your fantasy, my friend? >> whoa! >> if you guys want to be alone -- >> come on. >> what are you talking about? >> it's friday! come on! >> that's a different show and we need more time. >> there you go.

>> this is -- this is a good one for today. the disney fantasy ship right here kind of odd to have disneyland right here in the hudson river with the manhattan backdrop here. i've got joe, one of the big guys with the creative of wall street disney engineering so you know everything about this ship. the disney fantasy ship. what makes this different than the other boats? other ships? you have three others, correct? and then this new one. what makes it different and great? >> more stuff. this is a seven day cruise now so we were challenged like ok, people are going to be on the ship for a lot longer. they're going to have more sea days so like looking behind us, we got great aquaduct but added more water play, great new adult areas. it's great fun. you get to go clubbing in europe. >> that's amazing. so many times you think of a disney ship and think it's going to be all kids. there's a lot of stuff on this ship for adults. yesterday, i got to go on this aquaduct. there's this amazing water slide and it goes over the edge so it

looks like you're hanging over the edge. take a look at what we got to do yesterday, guys. >> ok. serious great times on this. all kinds of pools, adults only pool which is great news for the

adults here. and of course, there's always some character who is going to come around. great job, a beautiful ship. congratulations and especially on the big event last night and the christening. much more coming up here from the ship today, guys. send it back to you. >> i can't believe you didn't say that water slide was your fantasy. you lived it yesterday! >> that was fantastic. >> he's achieved that. >> awesome. >> yeah. you know, you led me in the wrong direction. >> hey, rick, i got a question for you. i left my watch on the disney magic. does anyone there know where it is? i mean, can you look and check on the lost and found? >> goofy? >> we'll see. >> that could be pluto. >> no, nothing. >> is that pluto or goofy? >> yeah -- >> it's goofy? it's one of the others. all right, we'll figure it out later. sometimes rick doesn't want to answer questions. >> do you blame him? >> yeah. >> straight ahead on this friday morning when we come back, remembering our friend of

this program, andrew breitbart. where will his causes and various projects go from here? >> and you've seen a lot of mitt romney. you're about to see even more of ann romney, his better half some say. she wants a bigger role in the campaign and she's here live to share the news. coming up 8:15 a.m. eastern time. >> time for the trivia question of the day -- i find the omega choices overwhelming. then i found new pronutrients omega-3. it's from centrum. it's a smaller minigel. with two of the best omegas to support my heart, brain and eyes. new pronutrients from centrum. and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. [ woman ] lower cholesterol.

[ man 2 ] yummy. i got that wrong didn't i? [ male announcer ] want great taste and whole gin oats that can help lower cholesterol? honey nut cheerios.

>> welcome back. this was shocking. he was championed by the right and loathed by the left and that's just the way that andrew breitbart would want to be remembered. >> he passed away early thursday morning while walking near his

home in california. for those who knew him, they're remembering his fire brand style of journalism that even his friends have called passionate and polarizing. >> joining us right now, one of his friends who is the editor in chief of breitbart.tv. all right, welcome. i couldn't possibly figure what's going through your head right now. did you have any indication that he wasn't feeling well or that he was dealing with some health issues? >> not at all. i worked with him all day on wednesday, was it? wednesday. and he seemed fine. i mean, stressed certainly. we're all under a lot of stress right now. andrew certainly internalizes a lot of stress. we're in the process of redesigning all of his sites. it's so sad and ironic because this is actually one of the biggest weeks of andrew's career, starting monday morning, all readers across the internet will see a brand new designed breitbart.com and all the sites will be new and it was very exciting and he was so hands on and involved in it and looking forward to it. so -- but nothing out of the ordinary. i mean, andrew was always going

in 1,000 directions and always focused on so many things and that's how exactly he was when i worked with him earlier on wednesday. >> absolutely. whenever he'd drop by live here in the studio, he'd be updating his site and he'd work a little on drudge and stuff like that. and initially, i know, a lot of people thought look at that, andrew breitbart dead, they thought somebody had hacked in and put up a bogus headline. >> yeah. yeah. it's funny because he was actually talking about anonymous and their connections with occupy wall street. it was one of the stories that we've been working on. we continue to work on it. and he was talking about it on a radio interview he did a few hours before he passed away so a lot of people thought the anonymous hackers had done this but unfortunately, no, obviously, it was real. >> larry, tell us how you came to know him and how he gave you an opportunity to share your voice. >> oh, thanks for letting me. andrew was an incredibly generous and incredibly supportive person, colleague and friend. he literally plucked me out of obscurity. i used to work on broadway in

the theater business in the management end of live theater, and when i found out he was doing big hollywood, the web site focused on the conservative voices in the entertainment world, i sent him an e-mail. just some guy out there sending him an e-mail telling him who i was. and within three minutes, i got a return e-mail from him personally with his phone number saying call me. and that started our friendship and i started writing in his site. i wrote for him for free there at big hollywood for a little over a year and then he, you know, was so supportive of me and liked me work, he brought me into the fold. >> what's his legacy? >> there's so many. you know, let me start with this because i haven't said this yet on any interview. he loved baseball. he loved the dodgers. and he considered himself to be a talent scout. he envied the people in baseball who would go to the minors and look for the best player. and, you know, identify the next albert pujols and if you listen to people giving interviews and talking about him over the next

couple of days, you'll see that everyone says i know you because of andrew breitbart and he would do that. he would say like to me, you know, one time he couldn't appear on "fox & friends" and he said, larry, you are perfect for "fox & friends." you should go on "fox & friends." and here we are. and that's what he does. he puts people together. he identifies people's talents and so many people have careers right now because of andrew breitbart, that's one of his legacies. his pioneering new work in media is his legacy. the drudge report, huffington post, any group blog out there would not be the same without andrew breitbart and as a fighter for the conservative spirit and conservative ideas. we on the right have never had someone like andrew breitbart that would go out there and push back so hard against the attacks we've gotten over the last three decades from those in the left. he was the one. he was an inspiration and many of us are ready to pick up the fight for him. >> all right, larry o'connor,

editor in chief of breitbart.tv which is launching this week. nice words about our friend. >> straight ahead, we move ahead. 17-year-old t.j. lane is charged with murdering three classmates in cold blood and he'll face those charges as a child. for such a heinous crime. is that the only option? judge jeanine is here and on the case. [ male announcer ] what if you have potatoes? but you've got a meat and potatoes guy? pour chunky sirloin burger soup over those mashed potatoes and dinner is served. four minutes, around four bucks. campbell's chunky -- it's amazing what soup can do.

>> answer to the trivia question of the day is daniel craig. the blond bond. the winner is richard in bozman, montana. congratulations. >> students returning to classes this morning for the first time since that fatal shooting on monday that killed three students and injured two others fortunately the suspect in that case, 17-year-old t.j. lane

charged in juvenile court yesterday with three counts of aggravated murder and prosecutors have said they plan to try lane as an adult. >> but is there any chance he could be charged as a juvenile and be free in just a few years? what goes into those decisions? judge jeanine pirro is here from judge jeanine justice. we watch every weekend. where do you think this is going? >> what normally happens in the state of ohio is because he's 17, he's charged in the juvenile court. the d.a. has indicated he wants to try him as an adult. the difference -- juvenile court, he will get out when he's 21. irrespective of what he's convicted of. in adult court, he can face life in prison like any other adult. now, the process, though, is it starts in juvi court and the d.a. makes a request, this is a category 1 crime, three counts of aggravated murder and two counts of attempted aggravated murder, i don't think there's any question that it is a mandatory transfer. he will be tried as an adult. >> what about premeditation? you and i were reading the cbs

report that apparently lane's girlfriend, the shooter's girlfriend recently dropped him and one of the guys who was killed reportedly was dating her. >> you know what's interesting about this is the d.a. said that this was random. and yet, we're getting conflicting reports here that one of the kids shot at very close range was dating his ex-girlfriend that the shooter had just broken up with her. she had broken up with him. >> sounds like premeditation. >> it's clearly premeditation and design. that we know. he said something on facebook. he goes into school with a gun and a knife and he shoots 10 rounds. so the question is did he know who he was shooting. was there a motive? does it matter? no, he had the intent, the premeditation and what this is case about is unfortunately, kids getting into school with guns. that is an alternative school with kids with problems. >> he actually went to a different school from this school so he chose to go into the school that he was not currently attending and was allowed in. >> what does it say about gun

control? should the laws be changed as far as kids and metal detectors and we go down the list. >> 28 states have child protection laws. what that means is parents in these 27 states plus the district of columbia are required to keep the guns locked, in a locked place, not accessible to children and the sentences and the punishments range from a felony to a misdemeanor and it may depend upon whether they use it or not. i had a case when i was d.a. where a guy brings a gun home, an 8-year-old takes it and shoots his brother and kills him. i charged the guy with the gun with manslaughter because we didn't have a child access protection law. >> we'll be talking about this and so much more this weekend saturday night at 9:00. justice with judge jeanine. thank you very much. >> you're about to see more of ann romney on the campaign trail. mitt romney's wife joins us live at the top of the hour. moments away.

>> gretchen: tgif. it's friday, good morning. march 2. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time with us. gas prices continuing their climb higher. national average for a gallon of gas now 3.74. president obama pointing his finger now at big oil. we'll tell you more about that, who is really to blame for your pain at the pump? >> steve: meanwhile, mitt romney's team hitting the campaign trail hard ahead of super tuesday. the republican hopefuls's wife, ann romney, is there at his side. not without giving him a hard time. could she be mitt romney's secret weapon? we're going to talk to her coming up in about the next ten minutes. >> brian: just blew the secret. >> steve: i'm sorry. it's called a tease. >> brian: she plays the ring leader in a new tv series. why is kristen chenowith defending herself from critics? she joins us live.

she's way too talented for this show. but she comes back anyway. "fox & friends" starts right now >> gretchen: good morning, everyone. hope you're gonna have a great friday. geraldo is just around the corner. >> brian: how do you know this? >> gretchen: because i can see him. >> steve: he's over there watching one of the high def televisions and he says, hey steve, you got some stuff right there. >> gretchen: we do have a lot of those sources writing our headlines this morning. we have to begin with a fox news alert. four more nato troops injured during an explosion in afghanistan this morning. according to a nato spokesperson, a homicide bomber carrying explosives on a motorcycle drove into their convoy. we still don't know if any of those soldiers hurt were americans. the attack follows the shooting death of six american soldiers over two weeks. this following a nation of

protests in reaction to the burning of the koran. while you were sleeping, rush limbaugh was wide awake because the bomb squad was at his house checking out a suspicious package. several homes in his palm beach, florida neighborhood evacuated while officers carefully opened the package. inside it was a small electronic plaque commemorating the assassination of president abe houston lincoln. it ounce out, one of his listeners sent that to his personal home. that listener apologizing this morning for all the trouble that he caused. for the second time this week, bullets flying on a high school campus. this time at wilcox high school in southeastern arizona. a 40-year-old man firing a rifle at two students watching a varsity baseball game from their car. one hurt by broken glass. the other managed to escape. the gunman also shot at a school employee who was trying to help the students. luckily no one seriously hurt. the suspect identified as arthur tenau, behind bars this morning. no word what his motive was.

the video will make your heart stop. check it out. the driver on the tarmac. yep, driving a jeep cherokee, slamming through a fence at the neville i can't international airport and went speed down the tarmac. the security breach forcing at least one plane to abort its landing ten seconds before touching down. air traffic controllers were quick to keep other planes from landing. >> we got a lone vehicle driving around the airport. we're not moving anybody until we find this guy. >> gretchen: it turns out the suspect wasn't a terrorist. police say he was drunk. now he faces a whole slew of charges. airport officials say the fence met faa standards and they have no plans to upgrade it. that could cause a little controversy 'cause it seems like it was pretty easy for him to just roll right through it. >> steve: the price of gas going in where but up. the average price is now up to

3.73 -- 74 a gallon. oil prices are around nine-month highs as well. >> brian: ed henry is live at the white house where president obama is feeling the heat and deflecting the blame. am i correct, ed n that lofty introduction? >> good morning. you're always correct, brian. >> brian: thank you. >> the bottom line is that the president obviously took some heat earlier this week when his energy secretary suggested in congressional testimony that the overall goal of the administration is not to lower gasoline prices. secretary, which hu was back on the hill yesterday clarifying he does want to see gas prices come down. the president was in new hampshire saying much the same and insisting that he is going to role out a series of steps that he says will help consumers deal with some of the pain at the pump. but one of the steps would be ending the tax breaks for oil and gas companies, something republicans say might actually drive up the price. take a listen. >> every time you go to the gas tank or fill up your gas tank,

they're making money. every time. now, does anyone really think that congress should give them another $4 billion this year? of course not! it's outrageous. >> you can hear, that's popular out on the stump. that was a battle ground state of new hampshire. but republican senator demint saying if you raise taxes on the oil and gas companies, they're likely to drive the price up number one. and number two, senator demint introduced legislation that said let's knock out the tax breaks for oil and gas companies, but for renewable company, like wind and solar so that everybody is on a level playing field, guys. >> steve: it sounds like steven which hu, the secretary of energy, fall guy here, right? >> look. he's under a lot of pressure. newt gingrich, he's got a presidential campaign going on, so he's got an interest in beating up on the administration. he yesterday called on steven chu to be fired as well as i

mentioned, him trying to clarify he wants to see gas prices come down. he took heat for that. but also taken heat for solyndra and now this week we saw layoff of more than 100 employees at abound solar, a colorado-based company. listen to newt gingrich's case against steven, which ru and then him defending himself. >> i suspect the american people would chip in to buy the airline ticket later on today. >> maybe an a minus. >> that was secretary chu asked by republican lawmakers what would be his own grade of how he managed the portfolio. he says a minus. the republican law maker shot back, he thinks he should get a d my news or f. >> gretchen: wow. candid talk there. >> steve: with gas prices, i wonder what the american people would give them. geraldo rivera joins us live here. good morning to you. >> i don't drive much. i have a bicycle. >> brian: you and stossel tag team with your reflective flags and your lights at night. let's talk about afghanistan for

a second because the president yesterday spoke about the koran burnings and he spoke out -- what reporter was he speak to go? but he was speaking yesterday and he essentially said, listen, my apology has quieted things down, has calmed things down in afghanistan. >> steve: that was to abc. >> are you asking me whether things are calmed down? i think that obviously the massive rioting has quieted. there is no doubt that the street demonstrations have definitely municipalitied. -- muted. what is far more alarming and far more ominous for our role in afghanistan are these green on blue killings. we've now lost six g.i.s since the koran burnings to afghan soldiers, our allies, these guys we're training. that, i think, is the real threat to our mission because if you can't trust the people you're training to take over when you leave, what's it all about. >> gretchen: five minutes ago i

read as a fox news alert that four more nato troops were injured by this homicide bomber on a motorcycle. we don't know yet if any of them are americans, but it seems that it's continuing here. was the president -- should they go back? the white house is side stepping now. i want you to look at this quote from jay carney, according to him, the violence hasn't ended. no one has suggest that had violence ended in afghanistan in general or in reaction to the unfortunate incident involving the inadvertent, unintentional burning of religious materials. are they taking it a step back from saying the apology worked? >> well, whether or not the apology worked, i don't know because as i said, i don't believe the real threat to our mission are the street -- the homicide bomber you mentioned, that's the classic insurgency, that's who we've been fighting. that doesn't bother me as much as training abdul who is your best friend, you turn around, he shoots new the back. what in the world is your

mission going to accomplish if you can't trust the people you are training? i think that is such a profound threat to the whole mission there that i don't know what they're going to do. i do know from my g.i. friends, they are keeping their eyes on the back of their heads, they're watching everybody. we've withdrawn lots of people from a lot of the ministries there that they've been working with. some are trickling back. but there is a state of absolute paranoia in kabul and in the rest of the country now among our forces and for good reason. >> brian: let me add to this, 'cause i know we got to go, but the u.n. wants us to apologize to a higher level. do you know that hamid karzai wants the soldiers tried in an afghan court and then the apology has not only offended many in the theater -- >> i could tell you right now, fox news alert, they will not be tried in an afghan court. he can ask for the moon to turn around and spin and turn green

cheese -- >> brian: he's making it worse, geraldo. >> he has not exacerbated the situation there as much as we feared he might when it happened. he hasn't been a total jerk. he hasn't been as supportive as he could have been, but he's been relatively muted for him in terms of his response. i think that the fact the street demonstrations are quieting is probably as much a reaction to that as to what the president said, if they even know what the president apologized. but again, if you can't trust the men you're training, that's why we're there until 2015. we're there to set up a 300,000 force police department there, an arm that can take our place it fight the taliban. if they're killing us, what are we there for? >> brian: i have a reason to watch on weekends because you're on. >> actually politics takes my place. i have a weekend off. >> brian: you do? good four. >> gretchen: we'll catch you next weekend. >> steve: speaking of politics, mitt romney won the wyoming

caucuses yesterday. now riding high into super tuesday. how is he getting ready? the woman behind the candidate, ann romney, joins us next live. >> gretchen: and she plays the ring leader in a group of christian women in a new tv series. why is kristen chenowith now defending herself from critics? she joins us live later this hour. i bet she has a thing or two to say about this [ male announcer ] juice drink too watery? ♪ feel the power my young friend. mmm!

[ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel,

your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been tated for heart faure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ male announcer ] enbrel. the #1 biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. >> gretchen: fresh off of two primary wins this week, mitt romney seeking to gain momentum ahead of super tuesday. team romney working hard on the campaign trail, including his wife, who is doing everything she can to help mitt win what she calls the battle for the

soul of america. joining me now, the wife of gop presidential candidate, mitt romney, ann romney. good to see you again. welcome. >> hi. how are you? >> gretchen: doing just fine. i know you're in georgia. what is the message you're telling georgians because this is newt gingrich's home turf. how does mitt romney stand a chance in his state? >> well, my message is what i've -- the message i gave in michigan is about jobs, the economy, and the future for our kids. so that resonated in michigan. the voters i talked to and i see everywhere, they're concerned about jobs. they're concerned about the economy. and more importantly, especially the women i'm speaking with, the women went crazy yesterday in atlanta at this event. i felt like a rock star yesterday. they were screaming. but the message that i hear from women is they're so frustrated with washington. they're so frustrated with the spending. they care about the future because they don't want their children and their grandchildren

to be burdened with having to pay for our abuses right now. >> gretchen: you speak of yourself as a rock star. maybe they're on to something because take a look at how your husband is doing in the recent national polls. he's up 40% over rick santorum at 24%. ron paul, 12. but i wonder why you would fair in a poll because many people have suggested that you are mitt romney's secret weapon. >> well, that's a compliment. i am not just doing everything i can. i believe in my husband. i've known him. we've been married 42 years. we have five sons, 16 grandkids. i've seen him in every situation and you know, people turn to him when they're in crisis mode, whether it's business. he turns around businesses. whether it was the olympics where he turned that around, whether it was a governor where he went in with ballooning again, budget problems and turned that around. so i've seen him do it time and time again. he is the steady hand. he's the guy that's consistent.

he's the guy that knows how to get the job done. so my argument always is, look, you want definitely to be able to beat barak obama. but then most importantly, once you get in that chair, you want to be able to actually fix things and be able to do it. and that was my big question this time around because i told mitt four years ago i would never do this again. >> gretchen: i remember that because i met with the two of new california and you were not that keen on it. what was his message back to you? >> well, he laughed because ann, he said, you say that after every pregnancy and as we all know, i do have five children. but this time i was the one, when it came time to make that decision, i was the one that was pushing and said look, this country is worth it. we have to go fight. america is in peril. we're headed in the wrong direction. and it is. it's a fight for the soul of america. >> gretchen: sometimes it's not always easy when you're on this presidential path. it can be so grueling and we all know that you struggle with multiple sclerosis and breast cancer survivor.

the other thing is that we know from being married that sometimes both of us, husband and wife, make gaffes, whether we're at home or out on the campaign trail. you have sometimes had to pick up the pieces for your husband's gaffes. listen to this. >> maybe i should just do all the talking and let him just stand here and watch me. [ laughter ] i've always decided no more debates. if we're going to do another debate, he's going to sit in the audience and watch me and that will be it. >> gretchen: that was pretty forward, ann. i know that you probably got a great response. but what did mitt say to you in private? >> well, you know, he would love that opportunity as well because as a spouse, we sometimes have to sit there and listen to all of this and you are going through so much pressure just sitting there watching it. and it's the same thing when you're a mother watching your child play in sports. it's like you're on the side lines and you're hurting for them. your heart is there and you love them and so my feeling was let's

let mitt see what that feels like. let him sit in the audience and watch me get grilled up on the stage. but it was just for fun. >> gretchen: one of the things -- i don't know if you had a chance to hear former president president clinton was talking about the auto bailouts and of course, mitt romney has been against the auto bailouts. he had this quote. he said that mitt's father, that his dad would be rolling in his grave if he heard what mitt romney was saying about being against the auto bailouts. do you have a response for the former president clinton? >> mitt's father would be cheering and would be with mitt 1 hundreds% because what mitt suggested is that they went through structured bankruptcy. it's exactly what ended up happening. mitch said to -- mitt said to do that before they spent the money. mitt's father would be cheering, cheering with mitt. >> gretchen: i know one of the other things you told me a couple years ago was that your favorite thing to do on a friday night is go to a movie and dipper with your husband. but i think you have to take a

rain check 'cause you're in atlanta and he's in north dakota. right? >> no, i think he's in washington state. we can't keep up with him. up think he's in wash bash state. i'm here in georgia and so we're all covering the bases and the other great thing about having these great boys is our sons are out as well. we're very grateful for all of the support we have from our family. >> gretchen: thank you so much for taking some of your time and speaking to "fox & friends" this morning. we'll see you soon. >> thanks. >> gretchen: should an atheist be allowed to lead prayer groups? the debate between a nondiscriminational rule that's supposed to make things fair. she's supposed to debut a new show showing christian women. kristen chenowith is here. another b word. imagine that [ female announcer ] ready for a taste of what's hot?

joined by the enemy and tony award winning star of "gcb," kristen chenowith. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: let's start with something. "gcb" was a book and stood for something else. you told this network if you want me in it, the b's got to stand for belle. >> pretty much. yeah. i think -- i don't think abc ever thought it would be called that because that's really not what our show about. the book gave the author the idea and then it became the christian belles and then "gcb." >> gretchen: this looks fantastic and it looks like you've having fun. but it's a little spicy. tell us what happens in this show. >> well, my character, carlene, was bullied by amanda vaughn's character and she goes away for 15 or 20 years and comes back and i have redone myself. i was a former ugly duckling. i think she feels insecure and she gets derailed by this

person, even though she's a christian person. there is always that one person that can affect you and this is the girl coming back. >> brian: i love how your character is described. botox injecting bible blogger. >> she's got her own blog. and she also has a healthy relationship with her husband, which you don't see on tv very often. >> brian: that makes you feel good. you can go in there and be in a happy marriage. >> i love it. >> steve: botox injected bible reader, do you have a testimonial here, a confession? do you read the bible? >> you know i read the bible. i read the bible and i pray. i am a christian and there has been some backlash of oh, is this making fun of god. first of all, i wouldn't do anything that did that 'cause that's not who i am. i wouldn't make fun of anybody's religion, frankly. but there is a difference of making fun of and having fun with. the back drop of our show is church.

>> steve: yeah. >> gretchen: let's talk about the fact that kristen chenowith is going out on her first solo concert tour! >> thank you. >> steve: this is the first one. >> i've never been able to commit. i've done concerts all over the world, but not commit to a tour, like in a row. >> steve: here is my theory. for years you've been out op the highways and you've seen those great big rock star bus goes by and you go, some day i'm going to have me one of them. now you got one! >> i got one. i hope it's pink. i really want to do pink and bedazzled. >> brian: it starts may 9 in seattle and ends june 22. >> in my hometown. >> gretchen: you haven't been back for so long. >> i haven't been back. there's a new state of the art performing center and they're naming the auditorium after me. >> steve: if you pulp in a pink bus, they're going to go oh, she leaves for a few decades and look at her. >> brian: they only told people magazine because celebrities do this. you said to me that you are single for the first time in a

long time and nobody is asking you out. >> nobody. >> brian: how could that be? >> where are the men? >> brian: hey, men, get in line! >> steve: you're in new york city. there are no men here. >> i'll take anyone in the band. anyone. [ laughter ] >> gretchen: what about people who work at fox? >> anybody that works at fox! anybody that has a job, okay? >> brian: people are intimidated. they say, she'd never go for me. she sings, dance, acts and smiles. >> you said the right thing, okay? and then i said, are you married? he said yes. >> gretchen: oh, oh! >> a bummer. >> brian: then we had to go back in! >> steve: you'll see her on tv real soon. always a pleasure. >> thanks for having me. >> gretchen: super tuesday right around the customer. can mitt romney clinch the nomination? chris wallis gives us his take next. >> steve: country music star, craig morgan here to sing a new

song off his new album. hit it. >> brian: and what band mate will be dating kristen? ♪ iness to work day. campbell's microwavable soups. ♪ m

[ laughs ] [ male announcer ] personal, portable mio energy.

shake things up. >> steve: every friday at this time we turn to chris wallace, our buddy in the bureau. good morning to you. >> good morning to you guys. >> steve: hey, gretch was just doing a why interview with ann romney and now all eyes are on super tuesday. mitt romney had a really good week. he won michigan. he won arizona. he won the wyoming caucuses last night. what happens to him on super tuesday? >> it's not clear what's going to happen then. there are ten races, there are several in the south which look like gingrich or santorum will be vying for. paul could be a player out west in some of the smaller caucuses. romney is almost certainly going to win -- he's obviously going to win massachusetts, his home state. he's going to win vermont next door. he's going to win virginia almost certainly because and he

paul are the only ones on the ballot. gingrich and santorum didn't make it. the big battle for romney is ohio. another one of those key midwestern swing states and as of this morning, santorum continues to lead in the polls there, 35% to 31. so again, as in michigan, romney is playing from behind and it wouldn't be quite as disaster ous as losing michigan, but if he were to lose ohio, which everybody agrees is a key swing state for november, it would be a big deal. we'll have an exclusive interview with rick santorum on sunday. >> gretchen: we'll look forward to that. you would think that he would have gained a little more ground in ohio, if you look at the national polls right now. the latest national poll, he got a big boost out of arizona and michigan. romney up 40% over rick santorum 24%. then another poll where it's closer. romney, 35%. santorum, 24%. you allude to the fact that there is a new poll out this morning in ohio where santorum is still on top by four points. what do you make of that?

>> well, i think that it seems to me that none of these guys have very strong support, that the republican voters are still trying to make up their mind and to a certain degree, because it was only a week or so ago that santorum had a ten or 12-point lead a double digit lead in the national poll. i think it's always rallying around the leader. in the specific states where they're campaigning a lot, where there is a lot of tv ads like michigan last week, like ohio this week, i think that there is probably more solid support for people. nationally, i think it's more debts let this over with. let's stop fighting with each other. let's start going after obama. so whoever is in the lead, they all rally around that person. as a result, it swings wildly back and forth each tuesday. >> brian: chris, who else do you have on coming up on fox news sunday? >> well, big story on foreign policy on monday. prime minister netanyahu is going to be meeting with barak obama. obviously some difference of opinion there. the u.s. very much wants israel

to stand down on the idea of a preemptive strike on iran. lett the sanctions work. but israel continues to talk about maybe they view this as a threat and may take out israel and we will be talking, as you see -- take out iran rather. we'll you can talking to lindsey graham and dick blumenthal, two key members of the armed services committee. just came back from the middle east. both of them really hawk when is it comes to iran. we'll be talking to both of them about that and the continuing blood bath in syria, and let me just ask you a question, brian, which i think you can answer. what month is this? >> brian: i believe it's march. >> that's right. what naps march? >> steve: madness! >> gretchen: ncaa championships? >> yes. power player of the week is john thompson iii. the coach at georgetown. he believes that his team could repeat, could go all the way and win the national championship. we'll talk to him.

>> gretchen: from politics to hoops. thanks so much. we look forward to the show. >> steve: what he'll do for free tickets. >> gretchen: the rest of the headlines. the family of andrew breitbart a familiar face on this network, believes his sudden death may have been caused by a heart attack. the coroner will conduct an autopsy today. he died early yesterday while walking outside his home in california. his friend and colleague, chief of breitbart tv, larry o'conner, joined osselettier on "fox & friends." >> that's what he does, he puts people together. he identifieds people's talents and so many people have careers right now because of him. we on the right have never had someone like andrew breitbart who would go out there and push back so hard against the attacks we have gotten over the last three decades from the left. he was the one. he was an inspiration and there are many of us ready to pick up that fight for him. >> gretchen: andrew breitbart left a wife and four young children. he was only 43 years old. >> brian: with heavy hearts, high school students in chardon, ohio returning to class.

the school opening its doors for the first time since monday when a young man reportedly opened fire in the cafeteria, killing three. they were students. the coach who saved the day by chasing the suspect out of the school shared a heartfelt message with the community. >> i can't tell you how great these children are, how great these kids are. the families of danny, demetrius and russell, i was with them. i prayed with them. i wiped their tears. i know god was with them. >> brian: meantime, funeral plans have been set for those teens. there will be viewing today for 16-year-old daniel. his funeral is tomorrow. 17-year-old russell and 16-year-old demetrius will be laid to rest next week. two other students who were shot, one remains in serious condition. 17-year-old t.j. lane has been charged as a juvenile. prosecutors are fighting to have him tried as an adult.

>> steve: meanwhile, even more severe weather headed straight for the areas ravaged by tornadoes two days ago. weather forecasters show that possible tornadoes could hit the already battered regions again sometime this afternoon in the eastern third of the united states. 13 people killed earlier this week in storms all the way from kansas through missouri and into illinois as well. >> gretchen: the latest edition to the disney cruise family, fantasy, ready to set sail after her christening and rick right matthew has the scoop. what are you up to now, rick? >> gretchen, so if you are a kid or maybe not a kid, but you just want to play dress-up and you come out on the ship, you can go to the boutique. what's your name? >> lady cutter. >> steve: what's up with that beard? that's a lot of hair for a boy
