1:02 pm
the country back. >> romney did not campaign in kansas, instead focusing on the fight in mississippi and alabama and their primaries on tuesday, but his campaign is celebrating victories and he won contests in guam and marinaa islands. and today, we stand together in our efforts to secure the future that this nation deserves and the northern mariona islands, every voice has a chance to be heard in selecting a presidential candidate. and like romney, gingrich put resources in the south and at one stop he held what his camp is calling a nonpartisan town hall. and, jamie and kelly, just so you understand. with 40 delegates the way they're distributed here, most of them are proportional, but a handful of the delegates will be given winner take all.

1:04 pm
embattled president today on a mission. the country's year long upraising and deadly crackdown, joining us live now from washington, with tales about this. >> good afternoon, horror stories out of syria get worse by the day. as many as 2000 refugees, as assad forces are shelling a bridge as the refugees cross to get into lebanon and mining the roads used. and most of the fighting is happening in airs removed from western journalists, rape, torture and shelling of the soldiers abound. and it's in that context that kofi annan, and the talks were productive. earlier annan met with russia's enjoy, and they are opposed to any intervention in syria by the west.
1:05 pm
>> so, we are in favor of, as i said, of the approach which would be by the urgent need to stop violence and the political dialog. >> reporter: the obama administration also resisting calls for military aid to the rebels or drone strikes to stop the bloodshed by assad's forces. >> the president feels strongly that it should continue on international pressure against syria, because we think that it is-- it is having a significant impact on assad and is weakening his regime. >> and many in congress are calling for a more active u.s. roll, claiming that the obama administration is using a double standard, launching drone attacks in libya and
1:06 pm
refusing to do the same. >> kelly: thanks for the update. >> jamie: israeli war planes are hammering targets. and tpalestinian medical officials are reporting that at least 15 people and nearly 22 others, at least four of the dead are believed to be members of the popular resistance committee. militant groups have launched rockets to support israel and fired mortars inside gaza, kelly. >> kelly: the u.s. says it's considered a mega bomb against iran. and top u.s. air force general calling it the perfect weapon for penetrating an underground bunker where iran is allegedly conducting nuclear experiments and that's the same military facility you recall ausing iran of clearing evidence ahead of nuclear inspections there. and the retired general about the likelihood of a u.s.
1:07 pm
military strike. ♪ >> and in america's election headquarters, also, new reaction to a campaign film released by president obama's reelection team. and 17 minutes long and it's narrated by actor tom hanks, chronicling the president's first term in office. here is a preview. >> his advisors would ask where to begin, which urgent need would he put first. which is is one, which is two, which is three, which is four, which is five. where do you start? if we don't do this now, we'll be a generation where 30 million people have health insurance. >> if the auto industry failed what happens to america, what happens to jobs in america. >> reporter: now republican presidential front runner mitt romney, takes aim at the film,
1:08 pm
calling it a misleading infomercial. >> they're calling it a documentary, i don't think so. it's an infomercial, well, i have suggestions for the president and for the producer, talk to the 24 million americans out of work or underemployed in this country. >> and campaign documentaries aren't anything new. president clinton released demand for hope, 1992 national democratic convention. >> kelly: adding jobs in february and president obama seizing on the good news to bolster his reelection chances and his republican rivals are quick to point out that the unemployment rate remains at 8.3%, so, is the economy improving enough to help the president come november? one daily news columnist, andrea tantaros and doug schoen joining us to share some differences. and before i get to the two of you, let's hear what the
1:09 pm
president is saying about the jobs numbers. >> here is the good news, over the past two years, our businesses have added nearly four million new jobs. [applause] we just found out that last month, in february, we added 233,000 private sector jobs. [applaus [applause] >> more companies are bringing jobs back and investing in america and manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990's. [applause] >> all right. doug and andrea, we can hear what the president says in virginia, at rolls-royce, and
1:10 pm
the jobs numbers, is it improved with 8.3% unemployment rate to deal with? >> it's a good start, kelly. i think he was pretty tentative in making it it clear that america is coming back, has a long way to go. it's perfectly clear with 8.3% unemployment, he's not out of the woods, he's marginally ahead in the polls now, kelly, not over 50%, so, he's by no means turned the corner on the economy, but bottom line, this is much better news than i think anyone expected months ago. >> kelly: he does make the point that the president was measured in talking about the jobs numbers and republicans have continued to criticize on taxes and energy and arguing that the economy would be better if there were a different leader in place. >> don't forget, last year, there was minimal job growth and the white house came out and celebrated too soon. i think the president is learning from that lesson and he wants to be cautious, remember, in the fourth quarter last year, companies
1:11 pm
restock and replenished their inventory and now they've got to get rid of the inventories and when he looks at jobs numbers he's not certain there's going to be continued job growth. i totally agree with doug, i think it's good news for him and the people are asking the questions, jobs weren't added in manufacturing and construction. and needs more jobs to be added to get us back on track. and with the high gas prices-- paul krugman and i don't usually quote paul krugman in the new york times, he says there need to be 300,000 jobs added in the months to get where we needed to be. doug is right. if this continues, it's good news for him. but with instability in the middle east and high gas prices, it's just too soon for him to celebrate. >> kelly: and doug, that's where the republicans are carrying on criticism of tt president, saying he hasn't done enough and because of that in all likelihood, he would have wiggle room to actually argue against the president's policy. >> and i think andrea is right. plenty of what you call wiggle
1:12 pm
room, there are plenty of problems, when you're not really growing he the economy more than maybe two, two and a half% and the next job gain of the 4 million that he speaks of is really not enough to provide anything close to full employment in america. the bottom line, there are so many issues out there, and you and andrea mentioned the middle east, gas prices and instability in iran and north korea and cause problems for the president, his greatest asset rather than the good economic numbers, kelly, the fact that the republicans are in disarray. >> andrea, what do you say about that the republicans appear to be in disarray and going after the president and you heard mitt romney talking about the stimulus package and not 8.3% unemployment and the fact the president would add jobs? >> yeah, eventually republicans will get a nominee and they'll be able to focus in on president obama and bring up obamacare and they're going to bring up the stimulus
1:13 pm
and the debt and the deficit and the huge debt that he incurred under president obama so i'm not worried about the republican disarray, but the president should be cautiously optimistic. as much as it's good news, i think it's not reaching the homes in america and something that's not connecting, that people are not feeling this minimal growth yet. >> on that point you're talking about a lack of confidence out there and quickly, the president says he'll place his bets on the american worker, the american consumer and america, who are you placing your bets on, andrea? >> i place my bets on those same three things, but the problem is, the american consumer needs to be motivated and needs to be confident and go out and buy and the worker needs a job and that's the issue at hand. these jobs are leaving the united states because of high taxes and high regulations. >> kelly: doug, final answer. >> and i bet on the same things. >> i would agree on andrea, i bet on the same thing, when we look at political disturning that exists and the records
1:14 pm
that the president has extingui accomplished, a step in the right direction. >> all right, andrea tantaros and doug schoen. >> thank you. >> jamie: there's a lot of concern what will happen with iran and what the u.s. will be called upon to do. there is some new reports and new detail about a military strategy that could happen and it involved a 30,000 pound mega bomb. if the tensions between the two countries come to a head. and we're going to look at it, coming up. >> and how about this? an intense manhunt for an armed man who stabbed a judge and shot a deputy, where police say he's now on the run. >> and specifically, they better get him. >> and quick. >> incredible. an outburst of horror aboard an american airlines flight like you never heard before. wait until you hear what the flight attendant said. >> kelly: did you hear this? >> and they had the passengers thinking, well, let's just say the flight wasn't going to end

in switzerland. >> jamie: the u.s. is considering a new military strategy against iran according to a top general saying america could release a new mega bomb that's capable of blasting through hundreds of feet of reinforced concrete and just 24 hours after the u.s. nuclear watch dog says that iran is evidently clearing out evidence before the inspection. and a four star general on the committee. former advisor to the army and fox news military analyst, good morning, general. >> good to see you, jamie. >> let me start by asking you, are you calling president obama and discussing israel and iran that the u.s. is exploring, quote, unquote, new capeabilities. is this mega bomb what he was
1:29 pm
referring to? >> that's certainly it. we've had a physics here for years and we have precision and the degree and accuracy, our opponents have been digging deeper and fortifying greater. the most secret facility that the iranians have is very deep and it has very large walls in terms of fortification. think of sag that you could actually drive a vehicle in. >> jamie: the white house is discussing this mega bomb when the air force general came out and described that it could penetrate the concrete bunker, and what they can see and probably more significant what they won't be allowed to see. who would be more likely to carry it, the u.s. or the israelis? >> the israelis don't have the capability that we have the and we don't want to get into
1:30 pm
the details of that for obvious reasons. the united states has the full capability to take out the capability regardless where it is. >> and what would the trigger be for the u.s., either provide the munition, in mega bomb or any other. i don't know how many we're supplying now, i assume we're in a cooperative relationship. what would be the trigger for us to call upon this? >> well, what the iranians are doing is they're acquiring nuclear capability and the most significant aspects of it is the enriched uranium. and when they get to that to high enough stock pile and enrichard nuture. right now about 20%, they can rapidly assembly a bomb. here is the issue, you know, we look at that and say there's x amount of time left and the israelis look at it and they worry that they are
1:31 pm
he' running out of time and that's really what is at the center of the issue here. the israelis facing a potential nuclear holocaust are not going to take as much risk. we're willing to make more risk than the israelis are. >> jamie: what i'm hearing you say, it's not as much waiting for the fact that iran has acquired a nuclear weapon, looking at the totality of the fact that they're gathering and enriching elements that could quickly produce one and that sounds to me like israel may have to take action even before we have confirmation, that a bomb exists? >> yeah, that's the, that's the israelis concern, they believe they could get to a point where the iranians could so rapidly put it together that they're literally out of time and they don't want to do that. they're very wary to a certain degree he. and don't want to say it publicly, but they know we negotiated ourselves into a nuclear weapon with the the
1:32 pm
north koreans who had delaying tactics of negotiations and full of lies and deceit through that. so, that example is on the table for the israelis and they're very concerned about this. the other thing, also, jamie, is we made public statements by our officials that there's no clear evidence that iranians have made a decision to build a nuclear weapon. well, it's kind of the wrong question. i mean, the right question is are they acquiring nuclear capabilities? the fact of the matter is, they are. even the iaea says. >> jamie: and we know they've said time and again, they want to do to israel. and together, the risks being so real and so imminent. the one other thing, i noted is that the democratic chairman, actually, the senate arms services says that a naval blockade could be considered and we have sanctions against iran that don't seem to be working. what's your opinion on that? >> well, i'm for all actions
1:33 pm
short of a military attack right now. obviously, nobody wants to do the military attack and we-- if they're going to acquire that weapon and they're not going to voluntarily stop the program we should do it, but we should have tougher military sanctions, tougher than what we're doing now and conducting covert operations with the cia and masad and a cyber attack, number one in the world against military targets and a naval blockade stopping all trade from going into iran, so, it's one of those options. a naval blockade in and of itself is an act of war. >> letting iran know we're considering all of this is important and certainly you're coming in in the weekend and talking about it. >> good seeing you, jamie, take care. >> always.
1:34 pm
>> and in today's beyond a dream. we focus on a man of islamic faith and gives generously to the salvation army, a christian charity. while it might seem odd, it's producing a real act of brotherly love. >> i think that everybody has a passion. god uses us-- >> he says he always desired to serve humanity. as a child growing up in pakistan, he saw people living in poverty. he recalls how his mother always encouraged him to help feed those who are hungry. >> and it became a passion of mine, because he when i was young, my mother, there was somebody outside waiting, and she'd say take half your food and give it to them.

1:36 pm
relationships. >> major steve morris of the salvation army a, they share a common hope of feeding the hungry. the patrol is a feeding program operating in the nation's capital from a van and moore says the program is now funded by the generous giving. >> i'm sure the fact that you receive this gift from someone who is not of the christian faith must have raised some curiosity. >> it breaks through stereotypes that christians are intolerant and not willing to work with others, and muslims are what sometimes we think just watching the news, muslims are just people. >> he feels good that his money is used to help those in need. >> it's an act of human-- it's an act of doing something good for your fellow human being. >> kelly: let me pint out that
1:37 pm
he's been giving that on a yearly basis, $150,000 each year. this year in an effort to give more to the salvation army, he's offering $150,000 as a matching gift so the salvation army in d.c. could get more money thanks to a man who cares about what they're doing. >> jamie: a great example. >> kelly: yes. >> jamie: meanwhile, if you have extra dough, the latest super car, m pchp 412 c. and gary gas lou takes it for a spend in this week's car report. >> this is auto club speedway in fontana, california where we've come to drive the mclaren mp4-12 c. it was developed by the same people as the same behind the mclaren formula one team and

lifetime of drugs to avoid rejection. sometimes it doesn't work. and the doctor is joining us now to talk about it, and those drugs can be very difficult it take, right, doctor? >> right, jamie, but in general, this is a very long journey for most people who get this kind of transplant. the truth is they have to be the anti-rejection medications and it costs about $20,000 a year and also the side effects are challenging, multiple infections, risk of getting another cancer and long-term heart disease and high blood pressure and diabetes. imagine a world where they would get the transplant without being on all of these ledcations and now, there's a new clinical trial out of the hospital in chicago, northwestern memorial hospital and university of louisville, kentucky where they're actually using this stem cell, along the transplant itself. so, we have some diagrams of

it to show you where these patients actually go through some chemotherapy and radiation therapy to suppress the immune system and then we would take the kidney from the donor and put it in the recipient and in that stage, we will also give a new set of stem cells from the donor, now, we're tricking the new immune system where the recipient is going to have almost two immune systems from the donor and his or her own. that hybrid immune system is called, a new name for it, and what that does, that now the kidney is being recognized as your own kidney. not as a foreign one, so the risk of rejection is going to be really reduced and this is really a medical miracle, and it's only been down in about eight patients in a clinical trial. fortunately, five out of these eight have been able to receive this without issues and not on any other medication, which is the great news, one rejection, and that

patient ended up having another transplant and the other two are still on medication. >> that statistic is statistically significant. >> and will patients shall treated this way, soon? >> obviously, this is a small clinical trial and we need much bigger clinical trial to really find out what's going on. >> and we also can extend this to lung and heart and liver and the future is bright and i think this has opened up a whole new bioengineering field, and you're combining traps and stem cell and tricking the immune system so it tonight recognize the new organ as a foreign organ, a big deal. >> we know talking a kidney and lung and trance panting it. where do you take the stem cells from that patient and sometimes people think controversy. are these as stem cells as controversial as the other studies and science we've been talking about.
1:55 pm
>> excellent question. these are not the stem cells we talked about a month ago. they're taking the blood actually from the donor and they will clean up all the extra antibodies and they will get the real stem cell and inject it to the patient. this is the real deal, it's not a story where it's not real. this is effective. in a way, the combination, the immune system will accept the organ. >> jamie: it's a total doubledown on the immune system. >> a long way to go, but great news for a lot of people who are up for transplant in the future. if this works well, it would save a lot of money and save great quality of lives for the patients who are going to get transplant and expanding to liver, heart and lung are phenomenal. >> what thing it could extend, the amount of organs available. less rejection and cost, and
