>> good morning, everybody, yes, it's very early. it's sunday, march 11th, here is what happens. rick santorum bounces back and trouncing mitt romney in kansas and romney collected delegates from wyoming to guam. is the g.o.p. race neck and neck? we crunch the the numbers for you. >> dave: president obama says america is back on track. wait until you hear how much you're paying for everyday items, milk, boy could i use in my coffee. >> alisyn: we have some. >> dave: and bread and filling your gas tank, are you feeling any relief? >> not this morning. plus, an ear mark for ear marks, and get government funding for a government waste museum. can they get the money?

>> i get it. >> do you follow me? >> i am, i am, it's fascinating, see this to believe it. >> all they need is a lobby. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> yeah, buddy! >> that gets you out of bed with hilary duff. >> clayton: turn the clocks ahead this morning or they automatically. >> dave: you know who is trouble, the coffee people did not spring forward and the crew is actually asleep. >> alisyn: so are we all. >> clayton: thank you for waking up with us on this sunday morning. >> alisyn: if you even went to bed. it's hard to know at this hour, but we've lost an hour and later, we'll talk about how you should be grateful you lost an hour and relieve the

things you don't like doing, now you have an excuse. one of the things you're looking forward to giving up because you don't have an extra hour. and e-mail us. how long will take you to set your clock ahead. there will be a house in the clock. oven. >> dave: microwave every time. >> clayton: blinking hour behind for six months. >> alisyn: or until the time changes back again. >> clayton: until the fall. >> dave: meanwhile, we start with politics this morning and rick santorum had a big saturday. dominating the kansas caucuses, there were 40 delegates up for grabs. some minor victories for mitt romney, though, making the count closer, but check out kansas, no one really played there other than rick santorum and romney and gingrich and paul, i don't know if they, any of them paid a visit there. rick santorum dominates that state and majority of those 40 delegates. you mentioned 33 or so may go to rick santorum and once they dole them out and mentioned the other wins on saturday though for mitt romney, and

so, in guam, and mary anna islands and 44% of the vote to rick santorum's 27. so he got 7 delegates, romney did out of wooim, out of 12 possible and go out on a limb and say that the g.o.p. voters are still divided, because, in all of the-- >> be careful out there. >> alisyn: on this, you heard it here first, okay? because the primaries and caucuses do have the wildly disparity outcomes is pretty fascinating and that allows all the candidates to say they're still going to stay in the race. and here is how san form sizes up what's going on. >> and starts to say, well, looks like the economy is getting better. you know, the economy may be getting better and republicans

may lose their edge on the issue and that's the only issue in the case that may or may not be the case, we don't know. that's point, we don't know what the big issue of the day is when it comes to national security. they remain the dominant issue, iran on the precipice of getting a nuclear weapon and israel feeling increasingly isolated by this administration. president obama said at apac this week that he had israel's back the next day i went there and said, no, you have turned your back on israel. >> clayton: making a case there are other major issues in this race. mitt romney though has a pretty sizable delegate lead at this point. all he though when you add up the math is looks like this thing could go until june. here is how it breaks down at this hour and these are projected delegate counts right now, mitt romney out there with 454 delegates to top the field. >> dave: rick santorum, second with 217. you see gingrich and paul a

distant fourth. and interesting poll from rasmussen, regardless who you support, 80% of republican voters do think that romney is the guy that gets the nomination. the head to heads, according to rasmussen, and romney leading obama by 5 points, we had not seen that as of late and santorum evening leading him by a point and around that margin of error. >> alisyn: as we've said, all the candidates say they're going to soldier on, they are he' going on because he they got delegates, particularly newt gingrich who has avowed to go to the convention and thinks that this week is going to be huge for him because these are the southern primaries coming up. alabama and mississippi and he believes that he will win one or both of those. he thinks from georgia and he thinks he's heard with his grit eating credentials, he has his pulse of the southern

voters then. >> clayton: it's interesting because a couple of his aides have come out on the record to reporters, look, we've got to win on tuesday and wrap this up on tuesday, they're not giving their names to the press, saying this is do or die for newt gingrich on tuesday, here is how he thinks it will play on tuesday and needs people's help. >> and i need your help the next few days, because if we can win here on tuesday, i think by wednesday morning, we'll be back in a brand new race once again. [applaus [applause] >> it will probably be the 9th time we've had a change of, you know, momentum. >> what a crowd, i'm really impressed! >> not be anybody left in wall never seen-- >> a change of shirt. >> a great chance down south and clearly's anyone's game. >> and as we've seen in some of the polls, people say he

ekes out a win in alabama and mississippi and it's hard any path to the nomination to the 1144 for any of the other candidates. there's 110 up for grabs on tuesday and ali mentioned alabama and mississippi and hawaii and american samoa, a lot of delegates there. >> alisyn: we have our political panel to talk how, why mitt romney might be playing well in the south when you think that massachusetts person is antithetical to the south culturally, why he does seem to be resonating there. and we'll talk about that. gingrich attended five campaign events in alabama, a different shirt for each, i love that. >> clayton: a shirt in dothan and popped by the wal-mart. and the rasmussen poll, one thing mentioned was the 80% in the poll, mentioning potential republican voters voting for

him. >> and be the nominee and that's the reluctance in the south and how well romney is playing in alabama and mississippi, they may want to vote for rick santorum, but in the back of their heads, mitt romney is going to be the nominee, so, maybe i go and pull the lever for the guy that's probably going to get the nomination and therefore be the most likely to beat president obama. >> alisyn: that's the challenge, do you vote your heart and convention or who you think has the best chance and that's the challenge and what the candidates are saying, it's time to vote your heart, and all of them think they stand a chance if the voters do that. let's talk about the economy, dave. >> dave: let's do that. >> alisyn: the president says it's improving, but there are tell tale signs it's not today. >> dave: here is how the president prefers to spin it it. >> the key now, our job now is to keep this economic engine churning. the we can't go back to the same policies that got us into this mess. we can't go back to an economy that was weakened by

outsourcing and bad debt and phony financial profits. we've got to have an economy that's built to last. and that starts with american manufacturing and it starts with you. >> so, who is to blame? you know, when you-- >> our notes. >> clayton: yeah, i've got pictures of eggs and milk this morning. >> alisyn: and a lot of that. a lot of numbers coming up so we have our facts out, go. >> clayton: grab your character later. liston this, new york post broke this down this morning as to how it lays out. here is gas prices, 3.79 a gallon. much higher than we're used to paying, filled up yesterday on my little car and i couldn't believe how much i forked over in the little car. >> dave: 92 for me $92 for the big ole s.u.v. >> alisyn: we're familiar with gasoline. let's talk about food. this is a big problem as well, food prices, they're up

significantly. nationally, milk is up 9.9%, almost 10%. coffee, which obviously is the fuel that drives all of our engines, as well, up 4% basically, eggs 9.5, bread 4.8 and beef has had the highest, it's only going up, 10.2%. >> dave: the point being is this how you gauge the economy and how far we have come that the engine is beginning to get moving. do you feel with the unemploynt rate the gas prices is that, grocery store, is that how you indicate how the economy has bounced back? >> peanut butter 47% increase, that's a trick. >> i love peanut butter. >> because i like almond butter he. >> and here is a staple of my diet, ben and jerry's vanilla ice cream, that's part of a balanced breakfast. >> you're in trouble. >> dave: they have to pay for the money that they gave to occupy wall street. >> alisyn: we're joking about it and in this country people

having a hard time living paycheck to paypaycheck, it wil be a problem, but globally food prices are up and globally a bigger problem because riots and protests. >> dave: what's going to happen here if the coffee doesn't come soon, riots and protests. >> alisyn: you'll be picketing outside by yourself, dave briggs, we'll look forward to that. >> dave: you haven't seen chris chulo mad. >> clayton: true, it's rare. >> alisyn: let's get the rest of your headlines and tell you what else is happening. an air strike killed a palestinian boy in the gaza strip. cross border violence continued. the worst than in more than a year. and six israelis were injured after rockets were fired into southern israel and palestinian officials say 17 people have died since friday and believe the clash disrupted over an israeli attack and tied to the

terrorist organization. and the looking for four fishermen disappearing nearly 24 hours. disappeared off the washington state and they've spot add damaged life boat and no signs of any people. the fishing vest sell they were on. the scecelia. and they will not represent weeks anymore, under the rules of the act they are forbidden from billing the clients more. a 25% fee off the city's 680 million dollar settlement and one advocate says the firm led first respondenters who are now sick, believed they were protected and should do so pro

bono. here comes another solar storm headed our way and this shows the flare erupting off of the sun's surface on friday, that does look dangerous. and scientists say that the charged particles reach the earth as early as today. and they're known to wreak havoc on satellite and communications system and just like thursday, this is expected minimal effect. the cool part it could result in a brilliant display of northern lights tonight. >> you know, gps units, too, if you get lost on a regular basis, do not leave the house, the solar flares will affect you. >> alisyn: i'm going straight home after the show, that won't be a problem. . >> dave: rick reichmuth life with us down in south carolina this morning, with a very special story. good morning to you, most of the night spring forward in

the dark down there? >> yeah, it's going to be dark for a little while. dave, before you go here,en i know you're not going to pay attention once i start talking. how was your lunch. >> dave: the penguin port was freezing, takes your breath away, i believe at 7:30 eastern time we'll show you a clip and next year, i want you with me. >> i'm with you, we're going somewhere cold, where there's ice in the water. >> dave: maine. >> i would have been with you, but hopped a flight to south carolina, there's a great new indication working on a number of things, including helping some of our returning soldiers find jobs and cleaning up beaches across the eastern seaboard, trying to make it the cleanest seaboard and educate us all on ways to make the seaboard states clean as well. lots of stories coming up here

and so many of these beaches get littered with plastic objects at that hurt the animals and we'll have somebody from the charleston aquarium. and a great organization. the more of that all morning long. let's look at the weather picture, there's quite a bit of weather going on in a number of ways. people who don't think they want winter, we never really had winter. and two-thirds are going to feel like spring and plan your days offer the next few days, because it's going to be beautiful. take a look at the radar picture he though, the eastern seaboard looking great today. talking about a very, very nice day. and we're going to see lots of sunshine, but then we have some troubles across the central part of the country and could see severe weather across parts of arkansas, a tornado or through today. very careful there. and the threat for continued flooding in across parts of the southern planes as very heavy rain continues to fall. across the west we're talking

clear skies and southern parts, a series of wet storms moving in from northern california to washington and 7 to 8 inches of rain and across the higher, higher elevations and quite a bit of snow and the avalanches continues as well. alisyn, back to you. >> alisyn: we'll look to seeing you when the sun is one. g.o.p. candidates are hitting the trail hard in the south. especially front runner mitt romney. >> good morning, y'all. good to be with you. i got started right this morning with a biscuit and some cheesy grits, i tell you, delicious. >> alisyn: is his new found southern charm actually appealing to the voters? joining us for a fair and balanced debate, fox news contributor dolly cohen and-- >> good morning, y'all. i mean, wow, that's strange. >> alisyn: it's great stuff and janine i want to start with you, obviously, he's putting on his southern again tillty, nobody thinks he

really says y'all, but he's trying and guess what it's working. in mississippi let me pull up a poll. the latest polls in mississippi do show mitt romney ahead. he has 35% there, to newt gingrich's 27%, rick santorum 27%, ron paul 6%. how can a michigan massachusetts guy be playing so well in mississippi? >> that's what makes politics so amazing. you have santorum the social conservative and gingrich from georgia and paul. and time will tell, that's what makes politics so exciting. >> alisyn: unpredictability. >> i agree great things about the race this year, one poll one day, one the next and then election results come out and they are he' different. it seems to be wherever we are in the country, north shall south, east or west, nobody is quite sold on mitt romney.

anybody loves them. if they vote for him, it's begrudging, at least we know that the people of guam likes him and seems beloved in guam. but look, you know, in the south, mitt romney has consistently struggled to win voters who earn under $100,000 a year, middle class, working class, lower class voters, right. consistently struggled with anybody who identifies himself as an evangelical and these are the voters who matter in the south and certainly are going to matter most in the election. and they're splitting the vote, but ultimately, he's not cleaning up the way he should be. >> alisyn: and before we give is to him. in alabama newt gingrich says he's the rightful owner of these states. is at 30% and rick santorum up his heels 29%, mitt romney right on his heels at 28% and ron paul at 7%.

i mean, newt gingrich he's from georgia, rightfully he should be popping up, and what's going on. >> well, evidently he's not really clicking with the voters in that area. >> alisyn: why not? >> it could be his message or lack of message. but, on the flip side we're looking at romney who is-- he has experience in business and providing jobs and what it's going to boil down to. who will be the best candidate for the country. look the at the fact that 44% of the voters are strongly opposed to obama's jobs progress so far, his performance, so we're looking at someone who is going to be able to take obama out. look at the economy, look at unemployment. it's only at 8.3% and it should be much better, but there's so much uncertainty right now in the environment under president obama that. >> is that what you see,

romney is so strong in business that-- >> and the longer that the primary is going on, the better barack obama, president obama is faring against any one of the candidates. what's happening in the republican primary you have a base. but the only thing they're fired up about is anybody, but president obama. that's what they should be be fired up about. and they can't get behind anybody. we're all, mitt romney should eventually be the republican nominee. and for all of his gaffes and rick santorum out of the mainstream and the republicans have yet to decide on anyone and dividing a third, a third, a third between the choices. >> what's going on right now is that the candidates are still being vetted. unlike president obama, who was not fully vetted, we're still here-- >> this protracted primary that sally is alluding to.

do you think it's harmful to the nominee. >> the infighting is not good. we want to hear what they're going to do about the policies best for the economy, best for jobs, and as we speak right now, i think a lot of americans want a president who is going to grow the economy. you don't demonize the fossil fuel industry and you don't impose regulations on the fossil fuel industry that provides 85% of our energy and hundreds of thousands of jobs, you don't do that. >> when we get to the general election, they'll talk about 22 straight months of private sector job growth and the fact that domestic job growth is up higher than ever. the real thing, republicans don't want to get to the general election because they don't want to run against president obama's record which they admit is looking better and better by the minute. >> who wins this week in the south. who wins alabama. >> hard to say, but we'll see. i'm keeping my eye on everything. and anything is possible. >> yes, this election has proved that anything is

possible. and thanks so much, ladies, for getting up an hour earlier, for knowing to come in an hour earlier. >> no coffee. >> alisyn: all right. outside, a grass roots momentum. >> we're very experienced. >> alisyn: sally and denene, thanks so much. >> dave: need coffee. >> clayton: what's meant to control crowds. the marines testing a new n nonlegal ray gun and rick reich mousse testing. >> to we get to shoot. >> no kidding because you lost an hour of sleep and next, things you won't mind having less time to do. did you get all that? and we'll share what we won't mess coming up. ♪

the husband of fox news channel anchor "happening now", jenna lee. i have to mention the record, a former navy seal and served three tours in iraq, a silver star, two brondz stars and impressive. good to have you here. the president, can he have it both ways? >> well, this is definitely election year politicking, no question. i think what the clip you just ran of candidate obama talking about preserving precious resources for the challenges of the 21st century, we're there. iran with a nuclear weapon is one of the major challenges that we're facing, and we need to confront that. >> dave: but if you, as a then senator candidate, criticize the president and while you're in the oval office say, unless you're in the oval office, you really can't know what it's like to have this responsibility. or you don't have this type of

experience. in terms of the criticism, is that fair for him to basically straddle the fence then? >> that certainly sees a little, a little hypocritical in my view. but, i think the bigger issue here is that, it's-- it's election year politicking on a serious issue that's very, very grave consequences and we say that we're not going to allow iran to have a nuclear weapon. what are we going to do to prevent that from happening? and we seem to be saying, you know, saying all options are on the table in the manner that's coming from the white house, and so they're really giving the green light to the iranians to continue on with a nuclear program that we don't have the stomach to take them on in a difficult fight. >> well, you now run a leadership consulting firm as a leader. what should be president be saying? what can we do? he told the atlantic he's fot bluffing when it comes to iran

developing a nuclear weapon? what can he say? >> i think it's not what he says, but what he does that's more important. >> what should he do? >> and our rhetoric is really irrelevant. it's the actions, if we are it were up to me i would be pushing multiple battle groups to the persian gulf. i would be strengthening, and solidifying our position with israel in a move that puts iran on edge to think, wow, they mean what they say. i think that's our only hope preventing them from getting nuclear weapons. >> are there similarity between iran and iraq-- ? >> i think the biggest similarity in meyer view is that we're relying on intelligence to a tremendous degree and proved to have burned us a bit in iraq and so, some something that the president was critical of. awe nonwe're relying on intelligence to tell us up to

the second when iran is going to be nuclear weapon capable nation and that to me is pretty serious. >> dave: entirely on intelligence. as we learned from admiral mike mullen this past week we have zero communications with iran and haven't since the 70's, nothing coming in terms of a dialog, it's all about intelligence. thank you for being here and thanks for serving. coming up, community service not good enough. when it's done at a church, a high school student found out that the hard way, she's now suing the school district so it doesn't happen to any other student. she shares the story coming up. then, an ear mark for ear marks, that's exactly what one couple is trying to do, get government funding, for government waste museum. wrap your head around that one. got to see it to believe it.

(laughter) >> and laughing at that one. joining us now is one of the film makers behind this. ellen hubbard. nice to see you. >> hey, clayton, thanks for having he me. >> clayton: how in the world

did this start? i guess five years in the making, so we go back to the bush administration, earmarks, a long, long history in washington. how did it start? >> yeah, well, if you have any recollection of earmarks, five years ago was the heyday, think bridge to nowhere. at the time my husband and i would read these stories and like everybody else, groan. they would give more and more earmarks to museums. there was a glass museum in washington. a teapot museum, a prison museum, a mom museum and we'd try to get the anti-earmark ear marks. >> clayton: take me through the the process, you were making phone calls, am i right and trying to solicit congress to get this money, how did that go? >> yeah, well, i'm not going to reveal the results because that's the point of watching the film, but that was the

purpose of our quest was really to get inside closed doors on capitol hill. i mean, the first thing that you realize as a regular season, is that you really don't have much access in washington unless you have some money unless you're wealthy or you hire a lobbyist and that's something everybody will tell you early on, you need to become a part of the process if there's any hope of getting anything done in washington. >> you know, when we were talking about it this morning and on the couch, create a museum of government waste, you know, is almost takes awe few seconds to realize, wait a second. we're going to build a museum and put infrastructure in place about government waste. is that some of the response you got from members of congress, we'll have a meeting with you and maybe give you money and wait a second, this is a little bit ridiculous? >> yeah, you know, i wish more of them would have had that attitude. now, i certainly don't want to give the impression that we met with, you know, dozens of members of congress, because like i said. it's difficult for a regular season to come face-to-face

with a congressman unless you attend a high level fundraiser and pay, you know, $2500. which we did. at some point during the process, but, i mean, it's just, it's really interesting to walk in the door and tell them you have a ridiculous earmark, but the second you tell them that you have a wealthy backer, which at the time we did, then the conversation quickly shifts from what's is your ear mark to how we're getting it done and i'm not kidding. that's what happens. >> and ellen, keep us in touch with the progress on this, can't wait to see the film when it's ready and is it out right now? >> it's not. we're in the final stages of editing and asking folks if they agree with our mission and we'd like to try to open the doors and if you go to our website, museum of government waste.com. they can help us do that. >> thanks so much, ellen, we look forward to it it. >> thanks, clayton. >> eric holder going on the

33 perhaps in kansas he'll get out of 40. seems like a wash because romney ended up cleaning up across the island, virgin islands, marianna's, guam, and 7 there as well. sort of washes it out and if you combine the delegates between gingrich, santorum and paul, romney is still well in the lead. >> dave: that's why the proportional delegates is making this thing draw out longer and longer, it's hard to get a huge win. and rick santorum talking about kansas, that it's about a lot more than the economy. >> you hear now the media circus say well, looks like the economy is getting better, you know, the economy may be getting better and republicans may lose their edge on that issue. that was the on issue in this race, that may or may not be the case, that's the point. we don't know what the big issue of the day is going to be when it comes to national security. it may be the dominant issue. and national security was iran

so many of the people serving continue deployments and what are the things that you're seeing right now with the soldiers returning? >> well, when he they're returning home, we're doing a better job of tracking issues that they may have. issues coming up. whether they're physical, emotional and mental, and they're continuing to have these, and be more comfortable coming in, to say that they need help, they need services and we're tracking that and getting back out to the work force is definitely a huge issue for a lot of people when they come home from deployments and come out of the military in general. >> and you bring that up. the unemployment rate is extremely high. 30%, you're saying, for people who are under, under 24 years old? >> yes, it's very, it's a very serious issue for veterans. >> all right. so, is there any message to employers out there, that you would say, and they're potentially herring some of our military members? >> i would say a military

minded individual brings a unique package to the military employer, they're a key player, very skilled in the particular area, and they worked in, and they're willing to take on a challenge. >> so, i think that they can provide something that the average citizen who hasn't served, it's just a different skill set that a veteran can provide. >> thank you, very much. and on friday, you're changing your name. >> i am, i'll be kimberly bush. >> i'm getting married. >> back it to the studio, any relation, bush, we're wondering, no? i don't think so. >> he's right over there, i don't think he is. >> dave: clayton had a good idea. jump in the ocean. >> great idea, clayton. >> dave: we'll give $300 to special olympics if you do it. >> alisyn: we'll he see what happens there, in the meantime, let's get to your news and topping your headlines, because there is a

home address on it. does this mean that voter i.d. laws need to be changed or proof that they're working. for a fair and balanced debate. joined by the american speck later, john, and from the military protection project. good morning. >> good morning. >> alisyn: john, let me start with you. is this just an unintended consequence of a law, let's face it, not important to keep illegal immigrants from voting, but sometimes it comes out legitimate voters as well? >> well, i think mr. carol should have gone to a local dmv office where they would have given him a free state i.d. even if he doesn't drive and instead went to the veterans affair office, which is a federal agency and they didn't put his address on the list and even though they had the wrong i.d. he could have voted. they offer a provisional ballot and would have checked his address against public records and counted the ballot. he didn't want the provisional

ballot, type was too small. there are people that could have helped him. he didn't want that. i think he just want today make a statement. he could have voted, but he chose not to. he wasn't he denied the right to vote. >> alisyn: okay. eric, is this an isolated incident or are other voters getting caught in this snare as well? >> we don't have any particular examples of other voters getting caught in this example, but, you know, one point of, on the law, the law does not require for valid photo i.d. you have an address on it. this instance is not mr. carol's fault. it's a mistake that the local clerk made with respect to the interpretation of the law and he should have been allowed to vote with that government issued i.d. military identification cards do not have addresses on them. and we can't turn around, turn away service members from voting simply because their government issued i.d. card with a photo on it, doesn't have an address on it it. >> there are obviously, many states now that have voter

i.d. laws and i believe we have a map that we can show our viewers, so does it vary from state to state. this sounds complicated. and the veterans i.d. doesn't have your home address and others have your home address. how is this poor vet supposed to know where he's supposed to go to get exactly the right identification, john? >> well, the bottom line, he could have voted. there was a provisional ballot available to had i and he chose not to exercise it it. i think there's a problem with voters, actively voting. in the 2010 election one out of six ask for an absentee ballot. only one out of 20 of those were counted and in other words, we have a lot of absentee ballots that don't get out in time and don't have the chance to vote pt and the

figure both santorum and romney could take defeats in mississippi and alabama and they'd be okay. gingrich really can't. now, one of his aides committed a gaffes, as they say, in washington, a gaffe is when you accidentally tell the truth and said that gingrich had to win these two states. gingrich on friday said, no, he doesn't have to win them. he can continue all the way to the convention regardless, boy, at this point, he's only one two out of 25 contests in georgia and south carolina, if he can't even hold serve, if you will, in his home court, and in the deep south, in mississippi and alabama, it's pretty hard to write a scenario where he gets to the convention with the 1144 delegates. >> looking ahead, it seems interesting, well, actually i should say looking backwards. reading the tea lives of the polls and evangelicals and trouble for mitt romney getting the smaller counties, and other areas where rick

santorum did well. go to the south and looks like it should be santorum country and why is romney surging so much in the polls there then? >> i'm not quite sure why he's doing well. he has been endorsed by the governor of mississippi and he does have some institutional support in alabama and maybe it's a rally around the black, well, the thought, we're not crazy about them, but we don't want to see the blood letting inside the party go on and let's focus on the main event, which is beating barack obama. i'm surprised, he's doing so well. and the key number from super tuesday, except for the state of georgia of everything, that included some southern states like tennessee and a border state like oklahoma, in every state that santorum and gingrich were on the ballot. santorum beat gingrich, so, you know, gingrich is showing some weakness even in the south and he's got to do better on tuesday and he can say he's going to go on and maybe, literally, he can go

on, but he becomes less and less a factor, if he doesn't win those two. >> and again, that air of inevitability is creeping back in and he asks, regardless who you're voting for, who you're supporting, republicans, 80% of the people polled said they think that romney will win the nomination, regardless of who they support. so, should romney be out there talking about delegates as he has so often or is it strange for a candidate? and hearing the delegates, and something talked about on the campaign trail. >> well, he didn't talk about it it, his staff about, yeah, obama's campaign did did in 2008. a way to drive the narrative and the point he makes, he only needs 47, 48% of the delegates and gingrich 70% of the remaining delegates and

the argument they're making is, excuse me, it's awfully hard to see a path from here to tampa where the other guys get 24. that's true, but it's not clear if they stay on the race and split the vote. and raises the question the possibility of a contested convention where nobody goes in with the absolute majority, but it's a n argument to make, i'm going to win why don't we stop all of this and let me start fighting against barack obama. >> clayton: that 80% poll seems to affirm what you were saying, the rally rnaround the flags. coming up on your show, you're asking the man himself, newt gingrich can he stay in the race past tuesday? another big guest, senator john mccain made waves with his stance on syria. we'll be looking forward to that as well, right, chris? >> yeah, and also, there's been a terrible event today in

afghanistan where a u.s. soldier apparently walked off his base and according to reports, shot and killed as many possibly as 16 afghan civilians. we'll be talking to senator mccain about that and also ask him about that h.b.o. movie which he says he didn't watch last night. we'll find out whether he did or didn't watch it about him and sarah palin and the 2008 campaign. >> dave: and how he likes ed harris as-- >> a good looking guy. >> a pretty good actor, i wouldn't mind. >> alisyn: yeah, we'll have to think about who is going to play chris wallace in our movie. >> clayton: tom cruise. >> alisyn: that's the obvious. thanks, chris. >> dave: thanks, chris. >> alisyn: coming up, isn't it supposed to be a game of cat and mouse? this is dog and mouse. we'll explain. >> dave: and this war memorial cross has been the center after legal battle for 20 years, another war on religious freedom. we report, you decide.

>> welcome back. battling legal issues for more than 20 years, this california war memorial cross has been deemed unconstitutional by a federal appeals court in california. on monday, the supreme court will determine if they'll overturn the ruling. our next guest is part of the campaign to save memorials like this one. and the director of liberty. and joins us from dallas this morning and hiram, nice to he sigh. >> thank for having me. >> what happened here, this thing has been around honoring veterans of world 2 and became a national historic landmark

by the federal government. then what happened? >> well, you know, this memorial was erected shortly after the conclusion of the korean war, most people call that the forgotten war, a lot of the veterans have forgotten what they did for the korean war, but these folks in san diego, put up this memorial and stood for over half a century until finally someone came along to have it torn down. and the 9th circuit ordered it be torn down and hoping that the supreme court, this case is going to the supreme court and they can do something about this and save the memorial. >> you guys have launched the don't tear me down campaign, which is a national campaign surrounding the rescue of this particular cross and others around the country and different memorials. what are you hoping to accomplish? are you able to accomplish anything by make taking this to the supreme court? >> well, what we think is totally unfortunate is that this culture war over these religious displays has spilled over now to attack these

veterans memorials. these veterans, all they did were to serve our country, and to lay down their lives for our freedom, and just because they're memorials happen to contain religious imagery is no reason to discriminate against them and sacrifice service by wearing down the memorials, don't tear me down.com. folks can learn a lot about what's going on with the cases, but in this particular case, in san diego, it's up to the u.s. supreme court whether they'll save the memorial and hopefully they will. >> can the obama administration do anything? >> well, what's funny, is that while he we represent the memorial association, a party in the case and seeking supreme court review, the obama administration holds all the cards. if the obama administration will file the appeal on monday, we think that the court is most likely to take this case, and we really leave the court will save this memorial, because, you know, in the past, the court has

demonstrated it cares about a veterans memorial even though it contains religious image, and the ball really is in president obama's court on this? >> and that's exactly right. the president obama's administration, the solicitor general's office will decide on monday, whether or not they're going to advance the ball. we as a water can only have a 1% chance of getting the speak to take the case and save this memorial. the obama administration has better than a 70% chance because the government gets in deference with the supreme court. so we're hopeful that the obama administration is going to do the right thing on behalf of millions of veterans in this country and try to save this memorial. >> well, if you want to sign the petition or donate to the cause, you can do so by going to don't tear me down.com and there is the website, and donate and tell your friends about it as well. on facebook and twitter.

they're getting into. but ndamukong suh with the stomp, outside of what you signed up for. >> worst idea. dave, number one, what kind of effect will it have, and we watch for the thrill of game and motivated to play. and who's hit is predicated on adrenalin and which is malicious intent. number two, a chilling affect in the game. these are passionate players, motivated to play hard and work hard. we don't want them to have in the back of their mind because after hit that was too hard. they'll be criminally prosecuted. leads to number three, dave. what, diminished ability of us to be entertained by the game. if they're not playing with passion we're not going be to be entertained. and internal control. it has by laws, the ability to suspend people and deter them that way and finally, talk about assumption of risk. the fact is when people strap up to play the game that we

all love and enjoy, people are going to get injured and hurt. let's not let them criminallize it, let's stay out of it. two things, one, where would you draw the line and wouldn't it devastate professional sports as we know that. >> of course it wouldn't. we have rules, and just like happened in hockey in 2000. with marty mcsorley, what he did was a crime. he was prosecuted in canada. if it did anything, it didn't kill the game. that's the same thing in thenal. we're not talking about, while they're in play. although you could make the argument na some offensive stuff that came out of new orleans, paying for hit. that's borderline criminal as well and the main thing that needs to stop is the actions after the whistle, the stuff like we talked about with suh. a kick to the chest and face after the whistle.

that's a crime. do you think the fans think it's matter if you take that out of it. of course not. >> you problem, is that's a slippery slope. how long before we prosecute pitcher because they hit a batter. >> not a bad idea. what about flagrant fouls in basketball. and now you're carted off by the prosecution. there are internal methods in the sports for these things to be dealt with, it's not for the prosecution and criminal court. >> dave: we could debate this for the next couple of hours, i love it, gentlemen. joey jackson, tad nelson. is it part of the game? or part of the game to be litigated. folks weigh in, should it be litigated and prosecuted, i'm on twitter dave briggs. and coming up the former secret service agent all by his president's side and now he's exposing the clintons behind closed doors and causing controversy. that agent here to explain and rick santorum and mitt romney

winning in a landslide, and, 51% of the votes and 40 delegates were up for grabs in the state of kansas and looks like rick santorum gets 33 and mitt romney will be left around 7. >> clayton: because mitt romney picked up over 20% and needed that to get the delegates there, and, of course, rick santorum, over the 50%, gave the lions share of it and wyoming, though, it ends up being a wash, really, because mitt romney cleans up in wyoming and the island caucuses. >> alisyn: he got 44% in wyoming, rick santorum was the closest behind at 27% and ron paul at 12 and newt gingrich at 1%, obviously, everybody is in the game, because, everybody keeps getting these proportional shares of delegates. as you said, he cleaned up in guam and basically got 16 delegates, through the islands... >> clayton: guam, as well. >> alisyn: here's where he is

to be lumped together with other states on super tuesday, an interesting poll from scott rasmussen and rasmussen reports, what do g.o.p. voters think and who will be the eventual presidential tom knnominee of t republican party and, mitt romney is 80%. >> dave: and that defines what we hear, the sense of inevitability, regardless hoff who you vote for or support, he looks likes the guy, reflected in that number, more so than we have seen, in any poll. >> alisyn: in case you haven't had enough polls, we have hurn o -- one more to show you, how the g.o.p. candidates stack up against president obama, a rasmussen poll, mitt romney gets 48% to president obama's 43% and rick santorum beats the president but, within the margin of error, 46% to 45%. >> clayton: both statistically, plus or -3%, i tie now and these

go. >> clayton: these people like it over your shoulder. >> dave: fox fans. >> alisyn: i thought you were going to give me your best top gun... >> reporter: i loved that movie and wanted to be a pilot. >> alisyn: i was sure of that feel the need, the need for speed. all right. let's get to rick reichmuth, down in south carolina, a beautiful day on the beach. and, great, great cause. >> rick: you bet, the sun is cup coming up and is warming up, which is nice and a cooler start to the day but this eastern seaboard is going to be dealing with spectacular weather for the next ten days or so, it will feel closer to late spring, instead of march, look at the weather maps, right now, we can show you what it looks like, nice day, across the northeast, a lot of sunshine, everywhere you look, temps in the 60s, we have a ten-day stretch of temps into the 60s across the northeast and the southeast, things looking good across the coastal areas and we have the

rain across the areas of texas, and, clayton i saw you tweeting saying you are going south by southwest in austin and, rain today and then it will be clearing out. a lot of rain the last couple of days, and severe weather across areas of arkansas, today, threat for tornadoes. and towards the north, northern plains, we have another nice day, these temps are crazy warm. 5 2° in marquette, michigan, march 11. kidding me? that is nuts and, northern california, oregon, washington, a lot of rain this week and heavy snow, the highest elevations and, the threat for flooding, all week long. >> clayton: a new study may reflect how you feel in the workforce as you head back to work on monday. when you get to work in the morning do you feel like you know what to do at the office, your boss ever described what your job should be? kind of like elaine on seinfeld.

>> no, no, no, they will stay up. >> not in the long run. >> that's why i got you the tighter ones. >> forget about those... you keep mixing those. >> what do you want? >> dave: the job was supposed to be in publishing, right? and she got socks. lay out the clear expectation what is expected at the office. that is more of the problem today. >> alisyn: the "gallup poll" showed people have no idea what they are supposed to do at the office or what their bosses want and here's what they strongly agree with this statement: every week, i set goals and expectations, based on my strengths. only 36%, people go to work agree with that. strongly agree, meaning, they have no idea what goals they are supposed to be setting that have to do with their strengths and the end result is people say they dread going to work. they have more negative than positive introductions with their coworkers and tell friends they work for a miserable

organization. a grim outlook. >> clayton: here's ways to combat that, exactly for employers to describe their employees. exactly what they want them to accomplish. a smart thing to do. and also, get to know the employee's strengths and weakness and don't have them doing a job they aren't good at and number 3, discuss how the employee can use their strengths to achieve expectations. and, you will lay it out, everyone is on the same page and get excited about going into work. >> dave: it is difficult, when you don't have clear direction and, sometimes, you fill out tbs reports... >> clayton: am i supposed to fax that. let us know if you feel the same way. >> dave: coming up a wounded marine's father has an emotional moment with mitt romney. >> sir, will you look me in the eye and tell me he'll be taken care of? >> dave: did he get the answer he was looking for from mr mr. romney.

>> alisyn: and i wild ride. more on this chase, straight ahead. i think about the future every morning when i wake up. i care about my car because... i think it's a cool car. i think it's stylish and it makes a statement at the same time. and i've never had a car like that. people don't totally understand how the volt works. when the battery runs down the gas engine operates. i don't ever worry about running out of battery power... because it just switches over to my gas engine. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i love my chevy volt and i've never loved a car. ♪

>> clayton: welcome back to "fox & friends," an emotional moment when the father of a veteran who suffered a brain injury in afghanistan shared his struggle with getting his son's benefits during a candidate forum hosted by governor mike huckabee. take a look. >> the government has repeatedly denied services because his wounds aren't visible. he will never be able to return to the regular workforce. this week, president obama's administration, again, cut his benefits. sir, will you look me in the eye and tell me he'll be taken care of?

>> alisyn: did that father get the answer he wanted? joining us now is david macarthur. it is emotional for you to watch it again. >> it is. >> alisyn: what do you see when you watch it? >> well, i see myself and thousands of other parents. that -- because this is reality of what we face on a daily basis and, knowing the struggle that it has been, and, i went to that forum and it was an economic and jobs forum and certainly my question resolved around, he'll never enter the workforce again, because of it, and i call it an invisible wound because the benefits and the way things are set up, they are just not prepared to take care of these men and women, with these injuries and we have had these injuries since desert storm. it is mind boggling to me. >> dave: did you get the answer, the conviction you were looking for? from mitt romney or any other candidate. >> the forum was neat. there was no place to run and we were told if they don't give you the answers, get on him. that was -- and i did. i mean, i felt real in the man's

eyes, look at me, he had no clue the question was coming and i wrote that question. and, you know, you sense that, wow, it is tuchlt an-- tough ani don't think our politicians know what is going on. >> dave: but they don't interact with folks. >> that is the problem and i say, this isn't a republican or democrat issue, it is an issue going on, and people on blogs said, oh, well, past administrations did this and did this, shame on them, okay? tbi is our modern day agent orange. >> clayton: there is enough blame for politicians across the board. at the heart of this is your son and the suffering that he has go through and tell us about your son and what happened to him. >> may 13, 2010, he was on a mission where he was driving a -- an mrap, a big vehicle for the marine corps and, he wounds

come from sonic blast force, it rolls around the vehicle and inside becomes a massive pressure chamber and the brain was torn in three places, through the mouth, it goes through the mouth and above the spine and he deals with migraines, 70% of his life and the other 30% is a bad headache and can never get away from it. and it is unseen, he was literally told on the battlefield by a man, at that time, you are either stupid or faking it. went days without the first the mri and a lot of things are changing, and he got caught in the in-between and with that, having gone through the system of denial, denial, denial, you are not hurt, you are not hurt, and when you live with a guy, like -- he lives with us, 17-month-old granddaughter an wife live with us, since his return, he can't tie his shoes,

can't go down steps, can't pick up his own daughter, can't bend over, and, yet, people look at him and say, wow, he look good. look at him, because when you look at him, he's looks wonderful. because you can't get inside that head. where the injuries are. >> alisyn: what did mitt romney tell you about how things would change in the future. >> he didn't give specifics, and the va is an abyss. right now, my son was told, two weeks ago it would be 4 to 6 months before the claim is processed and they are pushed out by the dod. >> alisyn: and something changed, mitt romney mentioned to you, in fact, i believe we have the bite. let's listen to this for a second and you can tell us what happened, afterwards. >> as i told david i believe for those who put everything on the line for us we owe everything to them they need. >> clayton: super tuesday, what changed as a result of that? >> the va at a local level are

wonderful, they care, the problem is washington. the bureaucracy. on monday, he got a call from his local va rep and said your claim is being processed, you'll have a check within a months and tuesday, got forephone call, your claim is processed, check is in the mail. come on, folks, my son is important, but so is every, single one of those men and women out there, wounded like this and if people knew how they could... can you imagine, you are the mother of two children, and in the military, you get hurt, doing what you did -- your duty for your country and your country, the next day says you're on the payroll for us, and now you're not, you're on your own and may not get a check for a year, that is why our young men and women are killing themselves. >> dave: before they make the cuts, they ought to see the personal side to it and talk to you and your son. >> alisyn: appreciate you using your personal story to highlight

the problem. david, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up on the show, the department of justice is looking into the n.y.p.d.'s muslim surveillance program. and, at the same time, the administration is forcing contraceptives on religious institutions. is there a religious divide in the white house? father jonathan morris on that subject, next. >> alisyn: and he says the government is feeding us broken promises, why not cover it all in chocolate. the small business owner and her sweet revenge. [ kyle ] my bad.

[ roger ] tell me you have good insurance. yup, i've got... [ kyle with voice of dennis ] ...allstate. really? i was afraid you'd have some cut-rate policy. [ kyle ] nope, i've got...

>> alisyn: many people in the muslim community are out remained by the inside's surveillance of mosques and mom and pop grocery stores in new york and new jersey, they feel this is religious discrimination. while some in the muslim community feel the terror prevention technique should be embraced. >> clayton: why fight the values of one and help other? joining is now to discuss is fox news religious contributor and author of the book "god wants you happy", father jonathan morris. >> good morning. we need to the to make an illogical and unfair leap and say, look, president obama made a choice to go against what many would consider, including myself, would be a very simple principle of religious freedom and the health and human serviceman date on the one side but now is defending muslims, see? he's against christians and pro muslim. that is not a logical leap. i think it is is understandable that some would say, it seems

there has been this attack against christian principles and the role of churches, for the social fabric of our country but here he seems to be defending others and we have to look at them separately. >> dave: totally separate issues, aren't they? let's take them one at a time. the n.y.p.d. stance, the administration is not necessarily yet defending muslims, they are investigating what exactly the technique was, were they singling out a religion or protecting... >> i think the reason why people are talking about this and why i'm glad we are having the topic, i see it all over the blogs, look, he's against christianity, and pro islam, the reason why people are talking about it, is that for example, attorney general holder said, you know, i think we need to investigate this, because, based on what i have read in newspapers, this seems to be... that is not professional. to be -- based on what i saw in newspapers, worry going to go into the investigation and

sounds like we are running to the defense, of this muslim population, because, of something i read in the newspapers and i think the fbi has to do it in a very fair and very thorough way, and will not allow religion to be the determining factor of what you are targeted. >> alisyn: how should the muslim community feel about this? because, obviously, we do know that some radicalization has been foe mentmented at mosques schools for young people and behooves the police to surveil them yet, of course they feel targeted. how can they make sense of that? >> what i thought was comforting, some muslim groups within the community in new jersey, came out and said, this is actually good for the muslim community, and, for the protection of religious liberty, that the new york sat police are monitoring this. why? >> dave: and we were told that yesterday. >> it is a good thing for the muslim community but, understandably, too, if you are muslim and a shop owner and know

that people are listening into your conversations, and you know that you are not radicalized, of course it will be bothersome. and you should fight for your rights, not to have your privacy, intruded upon. of course, there are consequences though when people in your mutiny under -- with the name of religion, are doing very evil things and so, it is always going to be a balance and, unfortunately -- and fortunately, we have laws and a constitution, and, we have a court system that is going to help us determine whether or not they should be involved or not. i don't know. it is not my area of expertise, but, i think it is wonderful that we are talking about this, and we get down to it and make sure those -- religious freedom and not being profile on the one hand, as well as protection and safety. >> alisyn: father john, great to see you. >> clayton: thanks, father, coming up, he was sworn to serve and protect the clinton and now the secret service agent is dishing the dirt. is that becoming unbecoming of an agent?

before you judge him, hear what he has to say in a few book, he's coming up. >> dave: and it is meant to control crowds, the marines testing a new nonlethal ray gun and peter doocy got hit with this fire, first hand. check out what happened. he'll tell us how it felt, next. wake up!

that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition.

could've had a v8. >> clayton: good morning on this daylight saving time day. maybe you are still an hour behind. >> alisyn: chances are... >> clayton: but we'll get you up. >> dave: i'm just a mess. >> clayton: that makes three of you, i'm speak for ali. >> dave: the u.s. military revealing the brand new crowd control instrument that can protect u.s. ships from pirates. peter doocy volunteering to test it out. >> alisyn: and he wasn't the guy doing the shooting, he was actually shot at and will tell us what it felt like and show us that moment. peter, take it away. >> reporter: i'll tell you, first, i learned this week, first hand, nonlethal, also means not pleasant. look at this: you can't see it, hear it or smell it.

but, it makes unruly mobs do this. the defense department's active denial system, a nonlethal weapon that can be used to control crowds and secure perimeters and keep pirates at bay. it could be a game-changer. >> one of the things we can shoot first and ask questions later and normally you can't do that. >> reporter: the military says the active denial system is not radioactive, it is not a microwave or a laser beam, instead a man-sized stream of millimeter waves, designed to get the subjects, whoever is on the x, really, really hot. so they move. it is about 50 degrees out here, now but it felt like it was about a thousand and i have never been inside a tub somebody dropped a higher drier in but i imagine that that is what it

feels like, after 1.5 seconds, 1/64 of an inch of my skin was 130 degrees and when i stepped away, it was over and the dod says there are not lingering effects. >> there is no cancer risks, no risk to a fetus or reproductive capability. it is just heat. >> reporter: but the dod admits the system has a draw back. >> we are propagating through the air and relatively are the line of sight and, you need to be line of sight with targets. >> reporter: a prototype costs $10 million and there are no plans to deploy one any time soon. >> reporter: and at quantico, virginia. peter doocy, fox news. >> clayton: we're told out of 11,000 people they've tested the system out on, only had two injuries and those were second-degree burns from overexposure and now there are measures in place to avoid injury and keep things legal and treaty compliant, a big concern.

>> alisyn: good, glad they worked out that kink. why didn't you scream? can you -- did you feel like yelling when you were burned like that. >> reporter: don't really have time to scream. it is just, with no build-up, every, single inch of your skin, with me, it was my torso is immediately, they said, 130°, with no warning, just right away, it is like an iron, just being pressed right on to you, all at once and before you even have time to scream, you gasp and your heart starts racing. but, then, it is gone, as soon as you are out of the line of the wave, it is done. >> alisyn: wow. >> clayton: sears every hair off your body and now peter's chest looks like the situation. >> dave: there is an image, peter, thank you. only has the jimmie arm... thank you, peter, good job man. meanwhile, folks out here, trying to gauge what is

happening with this economy. so many numbers are thrown around, like the unemployment rate, the jobs created, manufacturing is up and down and a lot of you feel how the economy is doing, every time you walk in the grocery store, it is that simple. >> alisyn: food prices are w wa up, just since last year, here's an example, the staples, that you probably buy every week, milk up 10% over one year ago, coffee up almost 4%, eggs up 9.5%, and bread almost 5%, and, beef, it is setting a record, up 10.2%. >> clayton: and u.s. labor strif statistics in new york city, triples that, coffee is up 20% in new york city, those are national prices and the national average for gasoline, right now, $3.79. for a gallon of gasoline. >> dave: which we wish we were paying, it seems low to the nokes in the northeast. we are well over $4 a gallon.

>> alisyn: but there's a connection, why food prices are up is because gas is higher and oil is higher and, transportation costs are up, so they are linked. meanwhile, let's get your headlines and tell you what else is happening, word a second round of peace talks between former u.s. secretary-general kofi annan and syria's police department bashar al-assad ended in damascus. president assad reportedly rejecting a plea for a cease-fire. he's optimistic after the meeting and will return to damascus in the future, and syria plagued by bloodshed as the regime fights anti-government rebels. nearly 9,000 people reportedly killed in the upheaval, so far. the search for an armed suspect is now over, in washington state. police finally arrested the man accused of stabbing a judge and shooting a deputy inside a courthouse friday. they found the 34-year-old at his mom's home, here after she tipped investigators off that he had hiding there. police say the motive behind the

attack remains a mystery and luckily, the victims were not seriously hurt. and, police have now arrested two teenage boys they say robbed a group of girl scouts in texas. one of the boys, 18-year-old justin roger zenin, the other not identified, you may remember the girl scouts were selling cookies outside a walmart and the teenagers ran off with their box of money. >> very cowardly act to pick on little girl scouts, trying to sell cookies but it's not very risky for them, at least what was their perception. >> alisyn: they were wrong and they facing a vated robbery charges and police say they caught them, thanks to surveillance video and a detailed description, from the girl scouts. they are legal-eyed scouts. >> dave: happy anniversary to the scouts, and thank you for the thin mints. >> clayton: and the tag-a-longs.

>> alisyn: tomorrow they turn 100. >> dave: i need samoas. >> clayton: and, rick, down on the beach, we'll see what he's up to. >> rick: and, folly beach, south carolina. this guy, right here is an american alligator. and one of the success stories of preservation and conservation, i'm joined by great folks from south carolina aquarium, kelly, tell me about this guy, right here. >> reporter: this is an american alligator and they were protected, listed as threatened and protected under the endangered species act and in the recent years were pulled off of the list because of protections and it shows what the protections can do for tow populations. >> rick: we have down here, a couple of turtles and you guys do a lot of work, have a lot of nesting turtles in the area. and, they face some sort of, you know, threat, by all of the e debris that is around? >> they sure do.

if there is beach debris it keeps a female loggerhead sea turtle to coming up to nest or block the way to the nest and, it can prevent hatchlings from making it to the water. >> rick: we have a bunch of debris and, yesterday, rudy and his team went out and picked up this debris. how long did you say it took to get this kind of debris picked up. >> four minutes and these young ladies here were involved in the process yesterday and we've ac indicat -- accumulated everything from foam to plastic to rusty bottle caps. >> rick: and tell us what you are doing with the vets and the role in keeping the beaches clean. >> we give veterans their first time job after they leave the military. they'll spend a few days during the week, going to rural beaches, and they cannot be reached by car or by foot, such as morris island, behind us, and

they'll clean beaches during the week and make appearances and do pr work on the weekends. >> rick: getting the troops involved and giving them work and employment and cleaning up beaches, which really matters... >> it is amazing, a wonderful organization, and, you know, not only is cleaning up the beach so important, but that educational piece and getting out and doing that pr and showing people, you know, what is found on these remote areas that are so important to wildlife. >> rick: wonderful, you can gets more information on our "fox & friends" web site. thanks for all you are doing and letting us be out here with you this morning. >> alisyn: rick is in his element. he loves his wild animals. being around them. >> dave: baby gators on sunday... thanks. >> clayton: coming up, his job was to protect the clintons, now, a secret service agent dishing the dirt on what it is like to protect the president.

>> clayton: welcome back. our next guest was 8 years old when president kennedy was assassinated and from that point on he dreamed of one day becoming a secret service agent and that dream came true for him, here he is protecting president clinton and now, he's retired from the agency, and has written a provocative book, what it is like to protect presidents, the author of the book "within arm's length", dan emmett, joins us this morning. >> nice to see you, good morning. >> clayton: you say there is controversy surrounding the clinton aspect of the book and

you want to clear the air and you say you were misquoted or it has been taken out of context. explain. >> not misquoted so much as merely the fact that the book is 226 pages long. and out of those 226 pages, there is not one page in that book that is derogatory towards the clintons or any other president i protected. i do come down a little hard on his junior staff, but, that's not synonymous with president clinton. >> clayton: i guess the idea was, that this is sort of a tell-all book, if that is somehow unbecoming of a secret service agent, what do you say to that? >> well, first of all, thank you for the question, because, it is not a tell-all book. the book is a written account of my 21-year career in the secret service and it is not possible to tell your story without speaking about the people you protect to a degree and the stories and anecdotes are general in nature and there is

nothing that would be embarrassing to anyone i protected. >> clayton: i'll reads the quote from the secret service, we stress 0 our employees, the importance of not sharing the and next dotes of the personal private moments because we don't want to erode the trust we have with our protectees, and what does the secret service think about you having written the book? >> well, no one from the secret service has contacted me. since the book has been released. i did send a copy to director mark sullivan, a friend of mine. but, i would remind the secret service and everyone i'm no longer an employee of the secret service, i'm a pretty citizen and i took great pains in the book not to compromise national security, sources and methods or the privacy of those that i did protect. >> clayton: when all of the candidates out there, when they become president, walking along the rope lines, obviously, all eyes are on those individuals. but, for you, there are dangers lurking around every corner and what is the most dangerous thing you faced as a secret service

agent? >> in my personal career, probably taking the president through his morning runs through downtown washington, a part of the book i speak extensively about. it was interesting and exciting every morning, going into downtown washington, running with the sitting president. and, never really knowing who was out there. >> clayton: how do you prepare for that? i know i would cover president george bush on campaign stops when i was a political reporter, going to town, and secret service agents were there days ahead of time making sure every angle of a building was covered, especially if the president was going tock on the street, speaking to large crowds and you are jogging, that morning, how much prep time do you need? >> we had no prep time, we knew when the elevator door would open and he'd emerge from the elevator and if he was in his business suit we knew he wasn't going to run, in his jogging

attire we knew we were going for the run and we had several pre-designated sites and selected a different one every day and mixed them up as best we could but generally speaking didn't know if he was going until the last minute. >> clayton: in the book you said something else an example taken out of context, how you described the junior staffers in the clinton white house, you described them, they were arrogant and rude and you said you said that but it was taken out of context. how? >> well, only in the sense that there's another part to that chapter, which is, the fact that, over time, the clinton's junior staff and secret service did begin to work very well together. i was quoted in the book and excerpts from the book were printed that only showed the first part of the chapter, was the fact we had a lot of trouble with them in the begiing. but, not so much, later on. >> clayton: one final question i have to ask. when i was covering this, i was fascinated, walk up to a secret service agent and i saw that he

was a secret service agentnd and i wanted to get close and he turned away from me and walked the other way, someone sees you are a secret service agent, walk away? >> new york not really. although, we do, when we're working try not to engage with conversations, with it anyone, it distracts us from the mission at hand, watching the crowd and trying to take care of the protectee. >> clayton: maybe the guy didn't like me. that is quite possible. happens a lot around here. dan emmett, the book "within arm's length" amazing what you guys do, putting your lives on the line for the presidents. at amazon and barnes & noble. coming up, she's fed up with the government, after losing her business during the financial crisis, how she is getting sweet revenge.
