>> good morning, everyone, happy april fool's day. i'm alisyn camerota. gas prices may be hovering just below $4 a gallon. but president obama is focusing on a different message. >> in america, our story is never about what we can do by ourselves. it's about what we can do together. >> alisyn: is that a good strategy? >> plus, they're in the country legally, but the the government letting them go free. why? because there's not enough beds in the detention center. >> clayton: and oh, baby. (scream (screams) >> hey, wait a second, who else got slimed. the nick kids fest.

that will take years to get out of your hair. >> the beebs. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ oh, did you like my singing. >> alisyn: clayton sings along to that. though there aren't many lyrics. >> clayton: it's a high pitched things and you're going to miss this, sad news at "fox & friends," alisyn camerota leaving the show and replaced by oprah winfrey. >> alisyn:. >> dave: i didn't hear that. >> alisyn: i didn't either. >> dave: and it is april 1st in case you're wondering. >> alisyn: i think i see what you're doing, a viral april fool's day joke, very clever. we'd like to hear what your best prank was. >> clayton: not this-- ♪ >> that was not intentional

because it's palm sunday of course, a live look at st. peter's square or pope benedict xvi is celebrating palm sunday mass. >> dave: joining us live from rome is greg burke, good morning to you, greg. >> good morning, guys, a big day here today. palm sunday, it's the mark of holy week and the most important week on the christian calendar and palm sunday the triumphant entry. and now he pope benedict is saying that palm sunday is like a great doorway leading into holy week and people have their own idea how the messiah should react and after rejoicing after a few days, they crucified him. a big crowd as there is on the

occasion, lots of pilgrims, students from europe, many have the week off and come here and the pope challenging them saying every christian has to ask himself, ask herself, what idea do i have of god. that's a question you can never asoyed and certainly not this week. and the saying it will always bring you joy. finally, guys, the pope is going to be 85 the week after easter and you're starting to see his age, no doubt about that. returned from a long trip. 14 hours from mexico 13 hours from cuba and seems to have recovered from jet lag better than i have. >> alisyn: you seem fine. greg burke. we'll check back with you. >> clayton: the national average for the price of gasoline continues to tick up and people feeling this. here it is, 3.93. i think last weekend we were talking 3.84. the president has been out talking about this, the gas

prices and energy policy and using this as a way of not getting behind on this usual issue. he talked about exactly what we told you the president would be talking about this week. the buffet rule, paying your fair share and time for millionaires to step up. >> let's listen to the president. >> our story is never what we can do by our zest, it's about what we can do together. it's believing in our future and the future of this country and tell your members of congress to do the right thing. call them up. write them a letter, pay them a visit and tell them to stop giving tax break to people who don't need them and invest in things that will help grow our economy and get people back to work. >> that's our general message. officially, clearly, that's how this thing is going to be framed as the party that wants

to give tax breaks to the rich, the oil party and newt gingrich, what the republican vision is going forward. >> this means that you are a citizen and the government is supposed to be a public servant. obama has the opposite model. he has a european elitist model in which the government is sovereign and the government tells us what to do. that why this is so fundamental and in fact, barack obama, it's the academic, it's the news media and entertainment. and the judges. there's an entire elitist collection who believe they know better than us and going they're going to define to us and dictate to us. >> the message going forward and all eyes on what happened in tuesday, and wisconsin and really the big, big primary contest on tuesday and because rick santorum, newt gingrich have to make the argument and

draw the line in the sand that they're in this thing for the long haul. >> and we've said it a number of times and i think we can officially put the nail it if you can't come up in wisconsin. >> what's happening at ice. the immigration enforcement agency. the daily caller, saying that they don't have room for 90% of the illegal immigrants that he they arrest. there's only bed space for 10% of them. so what they're having to do is make arrests when they find people here illegally and it's a catch and release program. you've heard it before, but we've never heard the numbers how few beds actually are to keep people. >> the numbers are stark. 34,000 beds overall for all of these detainees. and 300,000 are in detention and only beds for, as you point out that many and the obama administration wants to

find alternatives to detention, because of this new budget they're floating from the department of homeland security and overseas ice, and looking for a more reduced amount. >> yeah, we're at 10% now. we can hold 10% of the illegal aliens now is going to decrease if the budget goes through by 1200. so that 10% number, about to go down and lamar smith's real problem is a study that's dated at this point, but 1996 he says they showed 40% of those who release go back to commit crimes. there you have the major issue. >> right, i mean, unless the clear 1200 beds 11 million immigrants, doesn't really do the trick. even if they reduce it by 1200 there's a larger issue hereof course, which is what some of the candidates have been dealing with on the campaign trail. what to do with the millions

of people here, how to make it a less hospitable country for those who want to be here illegally. >> the national forum says look, costs $166 per day for the beds per illegal alien and there's concern that these individuals, there's a humanitarian issue for the detention of the illegal immigrants. it's part of the obama policy look, we don't want them detained, but lamar smith says they get back out in the community. they are he' somewhere back in the community. >> dave: at what point immigration becomes an issue, it's not clear. the back burner-- >> it was an issue and they grappled with it, as you know, newt gingrich who wanted the local boards sort of to determine who was going to be-- >> if you're a grandma. >> and they were struggling what the vision was between the g.o.p. candidates and a tough one.

>> clayton: here is another budget problem not too far from our neck of the woods. they're going to look at charging insurance companies for fire and car accident related calls. so if you have a house fire or you have a car accident, they're going to levee the insurance companies instead of charging the police department. so there's a thousand dollars fee to respond to that building fire or $600 for a car. a car accident. >> alisyn: but the $1,000 fee if they respond to a building four stories high. if you live in a two-story building, tougher to get you out in a four story or higher. isn't that what the taxes are supposed to be paying for the public services in the town for 911 or the police. exactly what your state and local taxes are for, but obviously, it's a budget crunch. >> well, most local city and state governments, at least at

this point are buried by the unfunded pensions and liabilities and insurance companies are clearly going to pass that off in the form of higher rates. >> you'll be paying that. >> it looks like the insurance companies, but they're passing the savings on to us. >> an interesting story out of canada. they're getting rid of the penny. you'll find it mixed with your own penny, a flower on the back. >> dave: sometimes it works. >> pass it off-- >> i always do. >> clayton: and they're kidding rid of it. they're saying no, don't do that. a lot of people tried to get rid of it because of the cost of the penny. >> dave: costs twice as much as the penny is worth. every penny costs 2.4 cents at that make and same thing for the nickel. costs 11 cents to make a nickel. and it costs 118 million

dollars to make 49 million worth of pennies so we're losing money every time we make one. the problem is, if you do away with it, retailers round up and you get hit with 4, 5, 8 cent tax on everything you buy and maybe a back door vat tax. >> alisyn: have you ever noticed when you go through a toll booth it says no pennies. they won't accept u.s. currencies at toll booths because they think they're a nuisance. >> they are no. >> clayton: and stuck in gum and no reaching down and getting those things. and asking retailers to round up to your point. if it's 8.95. round up to the nearest $9 and yesterday, for instance, i bought a bottle of water or something for $2.04. just make it $2 and pay you cash. why 2.03. i don't have three cents in my pocket. >> will you be sad when the

penny goes the way of the dodo bird. let us know on twitter ff weekend. >> clayton: piggy bank. >> alisyn: the piggy bank will go the way of-- >> the toddlers will rise. >> alisyn: we want to hear from the toddlers. >> clayton: glad to he see that dave is away, our floor manager. >> alisyn: what else is happening, a development story overnight, the u.s. coast guard searching for a group of injured sailors believe to be stranded about 400 miles off the coast of san francisco. the men reportedly competing in a yacht race around the world he when a freak wave nearly capsized their boat and told the injuries from roquen ribs to back and pelvic injuries. a massive rally in miami, florida as more than 75,000 people are expected to gather for trayvon martin. the 17 year old's parents will also be there.

this comes one day after hundreds of demonstrators marched with reverend al sharpton and jesse jackson in sanford, florida right where he was killed. and he was allegedly shot by george zimmerman who claims he did it in self-defense. he has not been arrested. >> alisyn: in florida, the families of two young scuba divers can breathe a sigh of relief. amazingly, they spotted 18-year-old nick allen and 20-year-old nathan mathews floating them in the water and pulled them into safety and the boat the boys had been diving off of apparently drifted away and strong current prevented them from swimming back, they're both expected to be okay. hollywood's hottest and youngest stars had a special celebration in los angeles at the kid's choice awards. ♪ >> that was katy perry

at four and a half years old their baby features and chubby cheeks and little lips and big eyes and big head get into proportion, preparing them to turn into smelly teenagers years from now when they're not cute and awkward. and i beg to differ my adorable son is five and as adorable as the day he was born. >> clayton: i noticed my son getting less cute. a downward slope for him. >> dave: all downhill. my son is four and a half and all downhill. >> clayton: maybe like next month he'll just get really ugly. >> dave: enjoy it while it lasts. >> alisyn: were you about to show us pictures? >> i was looking to see the decrease. >> alisyn: you know, it's evolution. because they say that the reason that babies are so cute otherwise you with an abandon them when they were little

because it they cry all the time and change the diaper. so they make babies extra cute. >> i've heard this, too, men back me up. apparently when babes come out they have a lot of daddy's features. >> alisyn: so they stick around. another evolutionary trick. so-- >> this is for dave. at four and a half they can be themselves. >> alisyn: babies don't need their parents anymore and they can start looking like normal human beings. >> clayton: question, have your kids gotten ugly? >> no, just as beautiful if not more so, and i don't know if i believe the psychology. >> clayton: let us be the judge. send us your cute, adorable four and a half year old. >> dave: or three and three quarters and they're ugly send us-- >> or if you're clayton's mom, show us a picture of clayton at four and a half years old. >> clayton: adorable.

idea. butter it up, and come in with sneakers on the back of it. did it sway his thoughts on manufacturing. >> i don't know about you, but i think we need to make sure the next generation of manufacturing not in asia, not in europe, take place right here in maine. i want it to take place in factories in detroit, in pittsburgh and in cleveland. i don't want this nation be to be known just for buying and consuming things. i want them to be known for producing, inventing and selling stuff. that's how america was built, the kind of economy we've got to get back to. >> alisyn: the problem the way it works, troops are given an allowance and they can go out and buy their own athletic shoes they need, but what this congressman is saying, make it all be new balance, they're made in the u.s., that would be a great defense contract and help manufacturing jobs here in the u.s. and stop giving them basically the

choice. >> a pretty good idea. >> alisyn: great. i didn't know they were the largest athletic shoemaker here. >> clayton: steve jobs a big fan of the new balance. >> dave: probably wore them too much. >> clayton: never gave him a version of the new balance. go to friends@foxnews.com. >> alisyn: more news to talk about. the body of a renowned long distance runner, has been found. police say his body has been found in a remote area near the wilderness, not known how he died, but no obvious signs of trauma. well, not a good few months for cruise ships. you're looking at file as amerique ameriquest, and it's adrift at sea with more than one thousand on board. more than 200 americans.

they'd run away and hide, but kansas before the buzzer the first half. cut it to 9. in the second half, ohio state started cold and kansas came at them. coast to coast there to put the jayhawks up and there you see the effort by ohio to clank the free throw and get a tying bucket. and bill self, what an amazing job with the team. supposed to be rebuilding and they take out ohio state and move on to monday night's final. who do he they get the winner of kentucky and louisville. rick pitino, john calipari meeting once again. and this one also looked like a blowout. all kentucky first half. second half, tied the game and then, kentucky takes over. and ridiculous, several dunks

taiwanese or chinese american in the usa. no more cheesy headlines and the final two will give you lin-jury. that's the last one i saw. or lin-ished, so more, done for the year. >> alisyn: that was a lin stretch. >> clayton: let's check with rick reichmuth. >> rick: that didn't work, ali. >> alisyn: i know. >> dave: she tried. >> rick: it's amazing march madness, the brackets are blown apart and at the end comes back in order. >> dave: most didn't have kansas. >> rick: but it's not horribly out of order. >> dave: two of the greatest programs in history in college basketball. you're right. >> rick: there you go, thank you. taking a lot-- >> thanks for the sports analysis, rick. >> rick: happy to provide it anytime. take a look at the maps you guys, got to explain this, a lot of numbers going on here,

but in the month of march it was really warm and that number on the left is the average temperature for those places, includes your average high, and low at night. so, you ended up seeing des moines at the average temperature was 55 degrees and that number on the right was how far above your average temperature you were. some 16 degrees above your average temperature when you think of the whole month and it should come out to be a really small number if you're above average, one or two degrees and everybody blew their record out of the water. it was so incredibly warm and it's warm today and tomorrow and looks like the heat is continuing a little bit longer. take a look at the forecast for the northeast, know the case in the northeast, we've got snow across the higher he will gagss and interior sections and this is going by the afternoon and later afternoon up to the coastal area and it will be cool again

tomorrow behind this storm, so, these are great for that. down to the southeast, spotty showers at times, but for the most part just warming up a lot and see the temps in the 90 degree range across areas of the central plains and oklahoma city 90 degrees, not just hot, it's humid. so it's going to feel like middle of summer, hot, humid, sticky and gross. the a precursor for storms. get ready for that. the northern planes. temps around 90 degrees and the same kind of temperatures all the way up to fargo. 76. across the west where we've had the winter recently and continue to see it out to california and areas of oregon. we'll see more snow and significant fire danger across the four corners, by tomorrow. the temps cool down. denver you're 83.

tomorrow, you're going to be in the 40's and dave, i think we'll see snow in denver by tomorrow afternoon. >> thank you so much. rick. >> rick, thank you. guess who-- i was about to tell everyone that father jonathan morris picked the final ncaa games. of all things he knows basketball. >> picked kentucky to win. >> alisyn: was that divine intervention that told you that. >> i don't know if he gets involved in my bracket. >> clayton: and christians marking the beginning of holy week observing palm sunday. fox contribute,er father jonathan morris is here. >> dave: sports analyst religious. >> and took it very serious and religious, appreciate that, clayton. >> alisyn: tell us what you're

holding in your palm. >> ash wednesday, palm sunday, two of the perhaps biggest taste of the christian literature cal year especially for those who aren't going to church every sunday. and for some reason, ashes on the forehead, palms bring people out in masses and as they pass by the priest, oh, why did you just come. we have sacraments, the reading of the word of god, but a wonderful opportunity and i think that people recognize that these symbols mean ago. i want to talk about two symbols on palm sunday. we have palms and then we have the donkey that jesus rode into jerusalem right as he was coming up to his passion and death. and we have a picture, i believe, that's after donkey and now, if you look very closely, you'll see people around him, who are, who have those green branches. okay.

and here in the united states and in other places we use palms because it says in the scripture people would take the green or palms, hosanna in the highest, the coming of the lord and they believe that jesus was entering into jerusalem and to bring about, many believed, freedom. and jesus used a donkey, showing this is not about me taking power, it's about me bringing power over your own. i'm coming for spiritual freedom. we're waving the palms and saying, you are our king, but jesus is reminding us, my kingdom is not of this world and it's a long gospel today and an entrance into holy week, in which we're celebrating the high point of the christian faith, the passion and death of jesus

and-- >> it may be tough i have two kids at home go to church every sunday and do you have a six-year-old version of that. why this day is significant. >> for a six-year-old the significance is they can take these and hit their brothers and sisters. >> dave: father john. >> i remember, seven kids in my family and brothers and sisters and this is the greatest day for kids going to church (laughter) >> the worst day for a parent honestly, but if you can remind in all seriousness, if you can remind the children that you could teach them to make a cross out of the palm i do not know how to do it, but many people do. >> hung on my wall. >> i used to ask my little sisters to do that for me if you can teach them. palm is about saying, many times want certain freedoms,

and we have the power through his grace to skr for forgiveness to be forgiveness and to get to heaven. would your six-year-old understand that. >> he'll go with the flapping of the-- >> he will remember. my dad taught me a spiritual lesson, if he doesn't remember. my dad taught me a spiritual lesson. >> alisyn: thank you for reminding us all. >> dave: do you know how to make the cross. >> alisyn: i don't, but-- >> she can make one out of a napkin. >> coming up, 20,000 bucks a fish, blue fin is not your average lazy sunday afternoon. the captain risks his life on the high seas and now has his own show. >> president obama says the economy isn't his fault, he

she vowed never to do. the mother of 14 is receiving $2,000 a month in food stamps. alisyn. >> alisyn: since he took office, president obama has made it clear that he inherited an economic mess from his med cesser and not the first to face an economic crisis on day one of his presidency. ronald reagan walked into the oval office with higher gas prices and similar unemployment rate and he managed to turn things around, some say more quickly. and here is the historyion, nick. >> great to be with you, alisyn. >> alisyn: between president reagan and president obama. let's start with unemployment. that's the thing that bedevilled president obama. it was similar when they took office. 7.5 for ronald reagan and 7.6 for barack obama. and something interesting happens to the men a year into

the presidencies, unemployment spikes, it goes up to about 9.8 for president obama and goes up to, if you can believe it 10.8 for president reagan. president reagan was able to incrementally bring that number down every quarter. in a way that president obama hasn't been able to. what was the difference in strategy? >> you're right they came in with similar numbers, but by '81, ronald reagan lowered, cut business taxes, estate tax and by reelection day it was down into the five and consistently lower eight years in office. i think the largest post war expansion, '83 to '89. president obama came in and the stimulus package which is about 800 billion dollars. we haven't seen as much growth. theres' been sort of marginal growth and the 8.3%. we will see where it goes now,

but reagan had five years of great expansion that brought that rate down to historic lows. >> it's fascinating to hear you talking about the highest tax rates for the highest income earners, that's so timely,ing this that president obama talks about all the time. it's important to remember how high it was uppnder president regan and he brought it down. >> 70% was the top marginal rate and getting down to 50% was considered a huge tax cut n '86 reagan had the tax reforms and the rates we have now, fatter and lower. but it's hard to imagine a rate that high and the bush tax cuts sunsetted so in theory could have a tax increase on the marginal rate if the bush tax cuts go away and may have an impact he as well. and the buffet rule it's talk

about the news. president reagan the average price for a gallon was 3.13 adjusted for inflation. president obama the day he took office, 1.95. those are incredible numbers also and to see what's happened since? >> it's remarkable. of course adjusted for inflation, but when reagan took over, we had the oil shock and gas in real dollars was 1.25. and factored out as three plus now. and gas took a little bit of a dip because the economy was in such a recession and gas prices typically come down to recession and adjusted it's much cheaper. this summer they're going back up again as the economy picks up a theme, but it's important to keep in mind that gas was huge for those of us that remember, a huge issues in the late 70's and early 80's, worse than now. which is almost hard to believe, but it was. >> what was president reagan able to do?

>> it's counter cyclical. for more aggression and oil companies and make it easier for the oil companies to explore here and that's the debate with the keystone, access our own energy and have an energy independent policy. we'll see where that goes. >> thanks so much for giving us context and clayton morris is jealous that i got this segment today. thank you. thanks so much. after a rough week of obamacare, many say the tea party was right all along. is it more about big government than health care? we'll debate that. plus, $20,000 a fish, but blue fin tuna is not a lazy sunday afternoon on the pond. we're talking to one cast mate who risked his life on the high he seas and now has his own show. what the world wants to know and share is here.

for the tuna, like you mentioned are really valuable and sometimes we do wind up fishing right in close proximity and sometimes one of the sayings i have in that business you've got to be the guy that makes the news not chases the news. a lot of times, too, if there is he' nothing going on you're going to break out of the pack goes and tries it find them. >> $20,000 for one fish. you caught a fish though $24,000. >> yeah, that's been the highest priced fish i ever landed, about six years ago, i guess, and it's all, look, these fish, they go to an auction in japan. so, fishes you have to catch a quality fish and shipped over to japan. it's an auction like any other auction and if you're lucky you have a nice quality. and market without much other product on the market and you can do well in an auction situation. >> of course, the show takes place out of gloucester, massachusetts and famous,

famous town of hundreds of fishermen lost tear lives, made famous by the show "the perfect storm" and the ship went down and you look at the people before you and you had a ship wreck in 2003. it has to be on your mind. >> yeah, you think about it. it's there, but you don't dwell on it. because, you know, even like when i lost at that boat in 2003. we sank 20 miles out on the way home from fishing, it's like my father asked me, he said, you know, you lost the boat now, and are you going to get out of the fishing business? and i put it to him. look, dad. if the insurance, god forbid if the building caught on fire and burned to the ground and everybody get out, okay, would you get out of the insurance business? you know, of course not. and two days later i owned another boat. >> clayton: you're back out this. which is where dave would like to be right now sitting here doing the interview. dave, great to see you, good

people come. come to italy for the good weather and food, but certainly this week, religious reasons. now, pope benedict saying that palm sunday is like a great doorway leading into holy week and saying that during christ time, an idea how the messiah should act and why they ended up rejoicing with him in the beginning and after a few days, leading to his crucifixion, now, there was a very big crowd in st. peter's square this morning for the palm sunday mass and decked out very well. and lots of pilgrims around the world and especially from europe coming here during holy week and the pope challenging them. saying that every christian has to ask himself. herself, what does god mean for me, what idea do i have for god. he says that's a question you should never avoid and certainly not during this week. finally, in the states and talk about the final four, well, during holy week, there's a kind of final four, four days anyway, holy thursday, the commemoration of

florida, people are set to rally because of the death of trayvon martin. and they marched with al sharpton and jesse jackson in sanford. and the neighborhood watchman claims he did it in self-defense. george zimmerman was not arrested. and she focused from recovery from the gunshot wound, gabby giffords. now, three months later appears she's holding on to one million dollars left into her campaign account. and this sparks speculation she's leaving the door open for a potential run for the house or senate in the next campaign. and talk about a tebow tug. three new york city men are competing for the tin-sanity.

center and live there while they're processed. ice this morning reporting that they don't have enough beds to handle the people that they're rounding up on a regular basis. >> woefully few beds. one bed for every ten illegal immigrants they arrest, what to do? well, they release them. sometimes with a monitoring anglet, but sometimes replace them. and 40% of all people arrested have gone on to become fugitives. what's the sense of detaining them in the first place if you only detain 10% of them. the problem, this is actually going to get worse. do you think it's going to get worse, if the administration gets their way. and there will be fewer bets than that 10% next year, by 1200 and that number going down, instead of up. if the budget passes and how much does it cost to house the illegal aliens. 166 bucks and ultimately

coming down to the budget. you expect at some point immigration to get back on the front lines of the political conversation in this country, but it's clearly in the back burner right now. >> you remember, obviously, that newt gingrich and mitt romney did raise it and had different views how it should be addressed and while ice is upset about the reduction, that's not going to make a dent. i mean, there are 11 million most estimates say illegal immigrants in the country and they have a more large scale, overafternooning policy what to do with the illegal immigrants. >> ice is not the only organization dealing with budget cuts, individual cities of course, across the country are dealing with budget cuts, and dealing with something interesting this week, which is that they may, instead of letting it handle it with the taxes that you pay in this city, they may pass the savings and cost on to you, so to speak for fires and car crashes that you call in now over the phone.

movement have been driven by people with religious conviction, if we duct tape churches not just catholic church, but duct tape the churches and religion and morally convince people in the marketplace, that's going to lead to a huge deficit, a huge void and many people want to fill it up. namely a new religion called secular. >> dave: is he concerned about as a war on politics today? >> people ask me often, do you see him sad, angry upset or depressed? very rarely. the last two or three months definitely. he's very concerned where the country is going, the mandate he's horribly upset about. >> dave: regarding birth control. >> contraception, exactly. but those who believe as he does, have no better flag bearer, because he's not going to give up on this fight. >> alisyn: well, bob dolan, the book is great called life lessons, you share a lot of

conversation, but it's not through obamacare, obamacare is completely thrown out. completely tossed and considered a failure. every time it's mentioned through history. it has to be called a failure of a concept. >> final question for you. the spin we're hearing now from the left. if this gets knocked down. it may be great for president obama. i saw an interesting story this morning, comparing him to obi-w obi-wan k obi-wan $. >> and i'll take yoda. >> secondly and most important. a case of left on left-- and harry reid and nancy pelosi saying you have to pass it to see what's in it and you have to go on twitter answer facebook and defend this morning, noon and night man the second it comes up against opposition, six hours with the supreme court, unable to, really, unable it articulate the position they throw it upped the bus and they throw the people who defended it for two years under the bus and

decided to enforce, against the young americans for hibit. collecting signatures in ohio and warned them they were not going to tolerate walking around outside of the tiny free speech area and if they did, they called the police. >> the little green dot on the screen is the area where you're allowed to go in and have a pro it is and st. augustine's college is a worst free speech offender, why so? >> it's right here in raleigh pan it's major for the students they did it to. after a tornado hit raleigh last year, a lot of students were out of power and st. augustines decided to have a meeting to talk about bringing classes back into session and all the student did, he was a senior about to graduate, said, hey, let's go to this meeting with our best argument against reopening the college. and for that, they said it was an attempt to create chaos and actually banned him from graduation and later they banned him from homecoming. >> harvard university

surprised me and most people would think that often colleges slam for taking too liberal a take on free speech. anything comgoes. here is one of the worst of the free speech offenders why? >> very little goes at harvard and against what the administrators want. actually, they broke a 375-year-old tradition of not having of their students and tried to get the students to sign a civility oath coming in and post the signatures and oath up in the dorm so everybody could see if somebody refused to sign it. >> clayton: syracuse, university, also on your list why? >> well, syracuse is on our list at the top last year, this year, number two. this is for expelling an education student. and the reason they expelled him was because he complained on facebook of a comment he thought was racially offense sip to him as a student teacher up a the syracuse and when he complained, they

actually told him he had to get out immediately and he had to take anger management classes and diversity training and only then consider letting him back into college. >> rg have. finally on the top five here. bucknell university. why bucknell? >> well, bucknell did two things to the club. first, back during the debate over the stimulus package, they were passing out obama stimulus dollars that said that your money would be at the state dollars, if the stimulus package passed and they were told by administrators they were busted and couldn't hand it out similar to landing out bibles as if that would necessarily be bad. the other thing, shut down an affirmative action bake sale and in order to protest what they see as the injustice of affirmative action and they were told that that wasn't the right way to look at affirmative action and it

shocked, when you saw this new cdc numbers, the rate is 1 in 88 kids, what was so surprising for you? >> well, i was -- i was shocked to finally see the number. but, in lots of ways i wasn't shocked. i was really upset that the government hasn't done more about this. they were put on notice in 2000, by advocates like myself, the parents testified in congress, they did papers, we marched on washington, and, yet, nobody listened to us and, now fast forward to last thursday, when we were yelling, the sky is falling, the sky fell and, one in 88 kids, 2% of our boys, have autism. what i want you to understand, though, this is for 12-year-olds. they were -- they were 8-year-olds in 2008. >> alisyn: these latest numbers are based on 2008. >> right. >> alisyn: when these kids were 8 years old and you are saying there is a whole slew of younger

kids that have not been picked up by the cdc and noticed . >> exactly, we are seeing consistently, a 12% increase in autism every year and if we are only looking at the kids born in the year 2000 when president clinton was in office, what does that mean to the kids born in 2008, 2010, what does it mean for the kids born today. >> alisyn: when you say you have been trying to raise -- sound the alarm of this for years, you have been using the word epidemic, the government has not liked to use the word, epidemic, but at this point what do you want the government to realize? >> i want them to realize that they have failed. if they were like and nfl team and they have gone 0 and 16, for the past 12 years, they need to go. you know? they need new coaching, new staffing. this is not okay. the future of our country, and our young people depend on that. if you keep increasing it 12% a year we'll be dealing with 1 in

under 20 for the kids born today. if we follow the same trajectory, if we use the same criteria and that is staggering, frightening for all the moms, that are pregnant right now. >> alisyn: and no one has ever been able to get to the bottom of, really, what causes autism. or why this spike is happening. do you think that now these numbers are so alarming, that there will be new treatment methods? new research? >> one can hope. the thing that keeps making me hopeful, is that last year, stanford came out with a very important study, that showed that the model that the cdc has been following, of the genetics-only-type research is wrong. we know now that autism is mostly caused by environmental factors. and, the thing that i know, from the study that came out on thursday, is that the rate of autism went up everywhere in the united states. so that means that kids are not eating the same food, they are

not drinking the same water. they are not breathing the same air but what they do have in common is the vaccine schedule. i have looked at the statistics. 98% of parents still give vaccines. that is the common factor. these things were injected straight into their body and you have tens of thousands of parental reports of vaccine injury. >> alisyn: and obviously the vaccines have always been called into question and have been pooh-poohed by these medical communities. however, you are saying that it is time to look back because that is the common denominator. we appreciate you coming in and sharing your mother's perspective on this and, hopefully thergs new numbers will get people's attention. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> alisyn: thanks so much. well, no longer adorable. science says that children stop being cute at exactly four-and-a-half years old. we asked you to send us pictures of your kids, or you, yourself, and we are sharing them, next. you decide if they are still cute and you don't have to break

river valley and we are seeing the thunderstorms move through there today, and i don't think we are talking about a big tornado threat today but could see an isolated one or two and strong winds and hail. folks in that area, certainly, be careful. look at your forecast for the day, across the northeast. we're talking about some snow, moving through once again, so, certainly not feeling like spring at all. cool temperatures and snow and might see a thunderstorm or two across parts of western pennsylvania. down towards the southeast, this is where all the heat is really bottled up, areas of florida, down across the central gulf and into texas, look at that, 93°, today in abiline, texas and we'll see all kinds of records for the day broken. towards the northern plains, again, the heat continues and another day, we'll see temperatures into the 70s, 80s and maybe a few degrees, hitting the 90-degree mark, a few areas, omaha and lincoln and norfolk, nebraska, and, across parts of the west we have the snow, still seeing snow in higher elevations of the rockies and towards the

wasatch of utah and, across the plains, get ready, it will be going across texas, oklahoma and kansas, talking about a severe weather threat for the day tomorrow. guys, coming up, at the bottom of the hour i'll be fishing with mariko and we'll see what we can catch here in the harlem mirror. >> clayton: and speaking of fishing we'll talk about catching and releasing, that is exactly what ice is doing now, the immigration and customs enforcement... why i show up every day, what ice is having to deal with, with illegal immigrants, they don have enough beds when they go through the processing of illegal immigrant and round up these folks. they don't even have a current number of beds to handle. they have 34,000 detainees, they have beds for and 300,000 they round up. >> alisyn: basically, that breaks down to them having room for one out of every ten people that they detain. so, what do they do with the other nine? they have to let them go. sometimes they let them go with a monitoring bracelet and sometimes they just have to let

them go, and, they are spinning their wheels. what is the point of ice, if they are doing their job and capturing lots of illegal immigrant and bringing them in for detention and we don't have the space to detain them. obviously there needs to be a new policy... >> dave: like deporting them. >> alisyn: that is one option, a lot of people say it is too expensive to deport 11 million people. who are here illegally. >> dave: there's a flaw in the system, you can't have them all, we can't deport them, we're in paini pickle. >> clayton: and more of a flaw when you add up the costs. it costs $166 per day to house a detainee. it also, the department of homeland security which overseas ice spends annually, about $2 million on housing and deportation. you can cut the budget in which you can't house and deport them or spend more and try to deport them, and taxpayers pay to do both. >> alisyn: and the number 1200 down, because of new budget, ice will lose 1200 beds, from the

current ones they have and as we said, they don't have enough, have 10% of what they need now, so the next year will be more challenging. >> dave: hence, imization remerging as a campaign issue, soon to come. everyone thinks their kids and babies are cute, but apparently science found a point at which your baby starts to decline in terms of its cuteness. >> clayton: psychology today actually found out that there is a cut off point when babies stop looking cute and it is four-and-a-half years old. four-and-a-half years old, because, when -- get this, you peak, that is your best time, do all your -- >> alisyn: that is when you are at your most adorable and we have living purpose, from clayton morris. let us show you a picture him at age 4. adorable, look at him in his sunday best there. >> clayton: it was easter. >> alisyn: that is... the same

identifying individuals who may be tied to activities that are counter to our interests, and, security. but, you never will shift that segment from that belief. it is the... >> dave: paranoia level. out there. >> yes. but the center as with everything nsa does, it has an offensive and a defensive capability and one of our -- you could argue our primary threat to the national security, short, medium, long term at this stage is cyber war fare. so, part of this is an effort to protect us against outside attacks, and, there are countries out there, china being primary sponsor of this, that is engaged in cyber attacks, against our economic interests, our government infrastructure, on a massive scale, on a daily basis. so, then, of course there is the war on terror which is ongoing. so, there are a variety of good reasons why we need to continue to increase our abilities, but, yes, of course it raises suspicions in a certain group.

>> dave: and if you don't practice criminal activity or are involved in terrorist activities you will be clear and i want to ask about iran, the u.s. tightening sanctions over the next couple of months. do you think it has a legitimate shot at dis kurcouraging easter from going to nukes or will it just increase our gas prices. >> it will raise our gas prices. i don't know how much higher they can go but i think that the... you know, the iranians have always had a bit of a "get out of jail free" card in a sense, when we talk about sanctions, we have never been able to get china and russia to get fully on board. you know, they are making some of the right noises at this stage but i suspect that there is a back door here, where -- >> until we do that. >> until we do that, yes. it will never happen, the full and complete impact we'd like. there is no doubt about it. there is a discontent within some of the population of iran, obviously what we're hoping for and we have been hoping for that

for effedecades, since the fall the shah and that he clerics being put into power, we were hoping for a popular up rising and have been working on that over the decades and it hasn't happen and will it happen before israel takes action, who knows. >> dave: hopefully something works, mike baker from diligence, llc, good to see you. after devastating losses they thought they'd never find love again until they met each other and one couple about to say "i do" in front of millions of people, getting married tonight on the american country music awards, hear their incredible story, next and april fool's day is a stressful time for zoos, who knew? one zoo may be getting the last laugh, we'll explain now. ♪ ♪ the tears of a clown ♪ when there's no one around...♪ [ male announcer ] it's simple physics...

♪ >> dave: welcome back, christians around the world observing palm sunday today. where millions of worshipers gather to commemorate jesus christ's return to the old city, in the bible. >> alisyn: father jonathan morris is a fox news contributor

and joins us with the meaning of today. with your palms, tell us the significance. >> off camera, clayton was giving all sorts of different possible meanings of what -- significance of palms. but, i will answer instead. >> alisyn: thank you. >> clayton: the accurate ones. >> very good. the story is all four of the canonical gospels of jesus entering jerusalem, the beginning of holy week in the christian tradition, and, in which jesus was riding on a donkey. and you would think most kings, coming in for political freedom or waging a war, because the jews were really hoping for freedom from the romans at the time. and, jesus chose to ride in on a donkey, a symbol of humility and also the symbol of the fact he was coming not to wage war but to bring peace, the prince of peace and the people recognized he was worthy of worship and adoration and took palms and

green branches and they laid them down and they said, blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord and the gospel says, they took off their cloaks, their clothing and laid it down as recognition that he who was coming, though he was coming on a donkey, was worthy of their praise and worship, and what was he coming to free them from? free us from? our own sin and giving us the possibility of redemption, the beginning of a very, very holy week. >> clayton: it is a little bit of a complicated story when you try to teach it to kids. >> dave: i know, i tried, man, i remember going to the sunday service, on palm sunday, and, you know, we got excited as kids to get the palms and did not forget the meaning of it. is there an easy way to help parents explain to kids the main message. >> alisyn: for us. >> i have a feeling 6-year-old kids would understand better and the two of you.

ali getsy. -- gets it. but growing up with 6 brothers and sisters, we loved palm sunday, you grabbed the branches and get to do something in church that, according to parents, the priest, is a holy thing, but, you know what? it is fun. >> clayton: encouraging. >> exactly and, it is tough for parents to take care of their kids when they have branches in their hands, how do we teach our children? i think it is just taking time, and, giving it a shot, and explaining how i explained it. i know you guys didn't get it but your kids will. i promise you. explain to them, jesus was coming in, into jerusalem and he knew he was going to his death. and, he allowed people to worship him and praise him, because jesus is define. in the christian faith. >> clayton: and you mentioned humility as well. not ostentatious an coming in with an entourage but coming in on a donkey. >> other times in the gospel, jesus was on a donkey. we know when he was going from his home town in nazareth to bethlehem, heading towards

jerusalem, he was riding on a donkey as his mother was pregnant with him in the womb. also, when they were fleeing egypt, certainly, jesus probably would have been on the donkey with his mother, mary. fleeing from herrod's wrath against children two years, boys, two years young and older. -- two years old and younger and, so, jesus throughout his life was obviously walking the walk we have to walk of humility, and, also of persecution and, he's going to his death but went in as a humble prince of peace. >> alisyn: father john, i knew you would be impressed with this, i couldn't figure out how to make a cross out of palms but our roman catholic, chris, behind camera 3, knew how to make one. >> i couldn't help you, either and this is something that probably dave and clayton could wrap their brains around, you know? i... >> alisyn: just saying -- >> be nice. >> i'm being honest, dave.

that's part of christianity, too. being honest. when i explain these things to you guys, you give me these blank stares and, thank god, the camera is focused on ali, who is actually going, yes, i will explain that to my daughter. >> alisyn: it has been a great lesson today i think for all of us. >> clayton: and humility night yes. >> clayton: great to have you on. >> you guys play dumb well. i know you are actually fully engaged and you will be... >> dave: fully. >> and be able to explain to it your kids. >> i am. >> clayton: we'll call you. son, here's father john. thank you so much, father. >> blessed holy week to everyone listening and watching. >> alisyn: back to something clayton and dave -- april fool's day can be a stressful time for one zoo in particular. because, they get a lot of cause -- speaking of donkey, they get, high, is mr. key there, don-key? >> clayton: and sally-mander?

this -- our front line staff, constantly taking calls and trying to explain, no, you called the zoo, we upset up four specific phone lines and people can call and call and talk to mr. lion, mr. fox, mr. wolf and anna conda and, if they call we'll listen to those lines. >> alisyn: let's listen to what you have up your sleeves. >> thank you for calling mr. lion, at cuomo park zoo and conserve taef, and happy april fool's day-up, that's right, you got pranked, perhaps you should reward the prankster for the job well done by selling a lion sponsorship package to him or her. we're offering a discounted april fools sponsorship deal, just for you! >> alisyn: that will get 'em. and so you have one for every -- you have imagined all of the possibilities and have you imagined g. raffe? >> yes, we don't have the
