bill: good morning. we have a fox news alert. monster twisters tearing through dallas and many could do nothing but find safe ground and watch. >> you see that? >> oh, yeah. bill: we have two cities declared disaster zones after monsters like that rolled in. i'm bill hemmer. how are you doing? martha: you are looking at the latest pictures. this coming in from lancaster,

texas. amazingly there were no major injuries or deaths. >> i had 3 infants, 3 kids with me. i layed in the bathtub and we just prayed. it sounded like a train coming. it just hit the house. when i came out, everything was destroyed. >> i just heard wind and it sounded like a train coming through the house. it was like a locomotive. all you could hear was a roaring noise. >> all of a sudden -- i said jesus save me from this storm. martha: they did all the right things to protect themselves thank goodness. adam housley is live on the ground in texas.

you are seeing this firsthand. how does it look out there. >> reporter: you will go count street and see three or four houses that are fine. you have two next door to each other. they went through the home and there were no fatalities inside. there are 650 home that look like this. some are totally destroyed. some are partly destroyed. across the freeway here in texas, from where we are in south arlington you will see a couple of homes that were literally sheered. it's amazing some of this debris like this brick. you will find all sorts of stuff. even the tile off toes of roofs. the side of this house has been collapsed. the numbers are 650 but they are starting to assess this thing.

the storm started at 1:00 yesterday afternoon. we drove through it from houston as it moved across texas it was causing damage. you could see this storm literally march across the texas plains. perry is here. you live one or two streets over. the one question everyone has had. there were a few serious injuries, but the fat alternates are nowhere where they could have been. why do you think it didn't cause that much destruction to people? >> there was a 5-10 minute warning system. the sirens were going off. we watched the local news and they were showing the tornado in dallas. but we knew there was one coming up to tarrant county. some other people heard it and they came knock on our doors. they said you need to get in the

basement. the warning system he talked about, the technology to tell them within a couple minutes, there is going to be a tornado sitting down in your neighborhood. the other reason why the destruction wasn't as bad as it could be. these tornadoes skipped down. other tornadoes we have seen dug a trench. right next door hardly any damage at all. it gives you an idea how the tornadoes touched these neighborhoods. martha: thank you so much. bill: now we can see the live pictures as another day breaks. this is lancaster, texas. there is just debris everywhere. it looks like a brick home. sometimes you see the brick homes able to withstand some of the storms.

but the wider the camera gets you can see how this tornado snaked away different areas of lancaster. what a day to forget for so many folks there. martha: some of our viewers have been sending in pictures. one shows a tornado coming dangerously close to the life school in texas. the silver car belongs to the viewer who sent this in. look how well defined that cone is. that's a tornado nearby. if you have images of what came through there or what we are expecting you can get some more of this today. you can send these to you report. but safety first. bill: if you are flying today, make sure you check with your airline. hundreds of flights have been canceled in dallas-fort worth. hundreds of flights canceled yesterday where that store was rolling through.

1,400 stranded travelers spent the night in the terminal. airlines check out their planes for possible storm damage. we have reports of dozen of planes that are out of service because they were damaged when it rolled through. martha: severe thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds and possible tornado in store today for the mississippi and ohio valleys. we'll get you an update. we'll go to the weather center moment away and let you know where they are headed. bill: the watches and warnings can mean the difference between life and death. it's the move april. one of the worst outbreaks on record. 1974. look at that image. it hold the record for the most f-5 tornado. 7 in one day. there were reports of 148 different tornadoes. 13 states affects from georgia

to alabama and the ohio river valley. 1,300 people lost their lives. it's the season and it will be with us for weeks and months to come. president obama slamming congressman ryan's budget ... >> instead of moderating their views even slightly, the republicans running congress right now have doubled down and proposed a budget so far to the right it makes the contract with america look like the new deal. bill: congressman ryan not backing down saying, quote. the president has offered four budgets while he's been in the white house. each takes more from

hard-working americans and adds more to a crushing debt. stuart varney adding all the numbers up now. does paul ryan have a point? >> reporter: paul ryan has a plan and it has been accepted by the house. president obama does not have a plan that is accepted by the house or the senate. nor reid has the 51 votes to pass a budget but no budget has been submitted to the senate. bill: watch this during election. it will be front and center. here is what we did. the debt projection from the white house. these are white house numbers. we want to show you the way our debt has jumped the past 3-4 years. this goes back to september of 2008. that's when we passed the $10 trillion mark in our debt for the first time. if you come out now some 3 1/2

years later. this is where we are at the moment. november of 2011 we passed $13 trillion for the first time. we wanted to show the projected debt as we continue to climb based on the way it is projected at the moment. by the year 2016 or 2018. you are at $8 trillion to $20 trillion. this scares the helping out of people. >> reporter: president obama addressed this growing debt. he blamed the growing debt on two wars, the tax cuts from george bush and the crash of '08. he did not mention stimulus spending, record budget spending or the no reform of entitlements going forward. in contrast, paul ryan's plan, the budget plan centers right on debt reduction. he would lower the debt by $5 trillion over the next 10 years

through lower tax rates, fewer loopholes and the reform of medicare in the future. this is a contest over debt. escalating debt under president obama and what paul ryan says will be reduced debt under his plan. bill: spending a trillion dollars more than you are making. what's next, martha. martha: those are just a few of the stories we are following for you. mitt romney last night made it a clean sweep. great night for the gop presidential candidate as he tries to make it a one-man race. why the republicans may have that presumptive nominee and president obama is taking notice of that.

also -- bill: there was a primary in wisconsin. but that contest not the biggest story in the state. we'll tell you about the recall making bigger headlines. martha: a federal agency dropped close to $1 million on food, clowns and mind readers in las vegas all on the taxpayers' dime. now lawmakers would like answers to that. bill: some pricey sushi, too, i believe. i'm donating them. how'd you do it? eating right -- whole grain.

martha: now to the race for the white house which is heating up. it was a clean sweep for mitt romney. the former governor taking all least contests that were held. the closest was wisconsin. he got 43% of the vote there. in maryland he dominated the field over rick santorum. in d.c. he won 70% of the vote.

now he has turned his attention squarely to president obama. but rick santorum insists this gop race is not over yet for him. >> out of touch liberals like obama say they want a strong economy, but in everything they do they show they don't like business have much. but the economy is simply the product of all the businesses in the nation added together. it's like saying you like an omelette but you don't like eggs. >> half the delegates in this process have been selected. who is ready to charge out of the locker room in pennsylvania for a strong second half? martha: mitt romney is closer to that magic delegate number 1,144 is what he needs to clinch this nomination. that's the number of delegates a

candidate would need to clinch this nomination. romney has 655 delegates. rick santorum has 278, gingrich 135 and ron paul has 51 big ones. bill: this week's republican presidential primary in wisconsin largely overshadowed by the state's recall matter. republican scott walker's limits to cut the budget sparked reactions like this from state employees. my next guest is also up for recall. i know you folks from wisconsin are knee deep in this stuff. i think the rest of the country is following along and learning as we go. what is victory for folks like yourself mean? state's finances or what it

reflects across the country. >> we are a harbinger. we are a canary in a coal mine. what happens in wisconsin could affect every state in this nation. whether voters choose to go forward or back to the past in what caused the problem in the first place. we knew, because the taxpayers told us that we needed to do this budget without raising taxes. the way we did that was to even up the public sector with what the private sector had been going through since 2008 since the deep recession hit wisconsin. when asked our public sector employees to contribute 12% towards their healthcare, 8% towards their pension and we made changes to collective

bargaining which was financial to us. in most cases what we were seeing was a health insurance company that was associated with the teachers union that grabbed on to all of the contracts. well, it was never put out for a bid. it was costing the taxpayers millions of extra dollars per year. bill: you argue that your state is in better financial and fiscal order. some argue you are just pick on the unions. are you? >> no, absolutely not. we can't have a class ofs have and have nots whether you work in the private or public sector. we have seen savings of $848 million between state and local government. taxpayers come up to us every day and say thank you. after five years of 5% tax increases we are seeing a tax freeze. bill: what did you lose?

>> if we lose, this speaks volumes about where this nation is going. i don't think we are going to lose. i think the taxpayers are grateful and they see the logic of spending what you have and not simply what you want. it's what every family or small business does every day. we knew we had a few night amount of resources, resources that we get from taxpayers' wallets. we chose to do a budget within our means in wisconsin. bill: george bush almost won wisconsin. in the 15 seconds i have left, if you are victorious, the outcome of the recall, does it suggest something about the november he flexion your state? >> it does. we are a deeply purple state and very passionate about our politics here. it bodes very well for the gop nominee if we see victory in wisconsin in this recall election on june 5 so we need

help. bill: we are two months away and the country will be watching. martha: waking up in a disaster zone. more than 600 homeowners. where do they begin to dig out this morning? that's the big question. they confront a new storm threat today. bill: living up on the taxpayer dime. there is fallout after a report showed the feds hired cloud and a psychic for a convention in vegas. martha: a women's basketball team doing something no team has ever done.

getting together to discuss how to watch your money in the government. congressman mica is calling for an investigation. >> reporter: it's not just the lavish and expensive conference in vegas. it's what he seize as mismanagement at the general services administration. johnson and her two deputies were out after a scathing report on this training conference. according to that report the conference used luxury hotel suites that usually go for $1,100 a night. they made several trips to vegas to plan the event. congressman mica is holding a

heary. he says this may explain why the administration has been stonewalling the travel budget request. this agency may have been hoping that everything that happened in vegas stayed in vegas. martha: the clowns we showed are just clowns. they are not the clowns from the actual event. there are other abuse, however, this committee will be looking into. >> reporter: he says this agency is sitting on vacant properties that are underutilized costing taxpayers millions of dollars in operational costs. it will soon be turned over to donald trump for a hotel. another building in t.c., the

cotton exchange. one of the many buildings he claims the gsa is mismanaging. martha: thank you very much. bill: a new round of severe weather threatening a region already reeling from devastating storms. this is live above lancaster. we'll show you the radar and what we can best predict at the moment. martha: a comment by president obama has set off a firestorm over checks and balances in the united states government. why a federal judge is giving the administration 24 thundershowers respond. former attorney general michael will you casey is here. we'll be right back.

bill: major damage is already done but the threat continues to mississippi, alabama and beyond at the moment. maria, what do you see now? >> reporter: unfortunately we are expecting more severe weather today and into tomorrow. this is a slow-moving storm system. yesterday it brought severe weather over parts of the southeast into the central plains and we had 18 tornadoes reported. in all of those 18 reports came

out of northeastern texas and further out towards the northeast as well with several tornadoes being reported north of lone star. we'll see those get confirmed as survey crews assess the damage. it's not unusual to see this weather in northeastern texas this time of year. we tend to see tornadic activity this time of year and even across oklahoma, southwestern arkansas. still a slow mover so expect to see severe weather across texas, louisiana, kentucky and portions of the atlantic. so southern virginia you could be looking at some severe weather in the form of large hail and damaging wind gusts. across kentucky and the

southeast we are looking at the elevated tornado risk. basically we have heavy downpours across the new orleans area. large hail, damaging winds and tornado, we also have a concern or lightning and flash flooding. bill: maria, thank you, stay close today, all right? here is martha. martha: a federal judge is demanding that justice department explain president obama's comment on the healthcare law and the supreme court he made yesterday at an a.p. luncheon. the judge says the doj has roughly 24 hours to clarify whether the administration believes the court has the power

to overthrow law. >> yes, there would need to be a severability analysis. >> i'm referring to statement by the president in the past few days ... martha: it is not a small matter according to that 50s the circuit judge, judge jerry smith. i'm joined by michael mukasey, the former attorney general. this is interesting on a number

of levels. this is a separate healthcare question that was being determined in the court. but i'm curious what you think about the fact that in the middle of that proceeding which had its own specific directive and reason for being. the judge segued and brought up something the president had said at an a.p. luncheon and asked this attorney to gift. >> they are arguing a healthcare provision different from the one in front of the supreme court. but they are arguing in the circuit. the president has authority over every department of government including the justice department. he has the authority to direct the justice department on which positions to take. he's also a lawyer. he didn't just have a storefront somewhere. he professes to be a professor of constitutional law. and such a person having that authority to say that the courts

owe deference to elected officials and it is somehow improper and overreaching for a court to strike down a statute is wrong as a matter of history. that's why the founders put the supreme court there. it's right in the federalist papers. when they were convincing people to adopt the constitution. and courts have been doing it every since. but when the president calls that into question the court has every obligation to sit up and take notice. martha: the president made some comments on this a few days ago. then yesterday it seems he was reestablishing his bona fides as a constitutional professor. i would like to hear from president obama and what he said yesterday. let's hear from president obama again. >> so the burden is on those who would overturn a law like this.

i expect the supreme court actually to recognize that and to abide by well-established precedence out there. martha: his argument seems to be that because it's so compelling to give everyone healthcare that the court should override everything else and see the need for it. >> the court isn't there to decide policy. that's the president's job. the court is there to decide -- the president has chosen a constitutional means for doing that. if the answer to that is yes, the lay gets upheld. if the answer is no, it doesn't and it doesn't matter how important it is in his eyes or anybody else's. martha: i want to go back to the fifth circuit coast appeals. the judge basically looked at the lawyer and said, you have 24

hours and here is your homework assignment. >> he gave him 48. this was yesterday. martha: three pages single spaced. is that unusual for a judge to say here is your homework assignment to the doj attorney and you better be back with a 3-page paper to back up what you are saying? >> actually it's not. courts ask lawyers to back up their position with briefs all the time. but they usually set limits. they say don't submit for than 3 pages. but here they are saying we don't want some smart alecky response. we want three pangs of serious discussion. that's unprecedented. they asked for it, i think they will get it. whether that's the end of the story is a different story.

they asked for three pages, they will give them three pages. martha: it's always great to get your insights. thanks for being here. >> thanks a lot. bill: what a battle they have got. firing up the base. we'll see fit works or backfires. a quick check of the markets. we are down off triple digits. down 114. investors reacting to the federal reserve not taking steps to stimulate the economy. off 64 points yesterday. yahoo just announced significant layoffs. this company has been laying people off for the past 5 years. 2,000 employees set to get the pink slip in california. martha: he calls it radical and a trojan horse. president obama attacks congressman ryan's budget, accusing republicans of doubling

bill: new reaction today on president obama's full frontal assault on the budget proposed by congressman ryan. >> this is an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. it is thinly veiled social darwinism. bill: alan colmes and tucker carlson are in two separate cities today for a good reason.

to keep you guys separate on this. tucker, was it troy, athens, what was it that trojan horse rolling in. you call this pathetic. what do you mean? >> it's pathetic on a couple of levels. yesterday was the first day of the general election campaign. they believe romney is the nominee. this is the outline of their basic theme. republicans are radical. i think it's not possible that you are going to convince americans that romney is a wild-eyed nut. the federal system is collapsing, the country is going broke because of entitlements. the president is not only willing to address it. but he attacks anybody who does address it as a crazy person. bill: you don't think's serious about addressing it. >> you have got 37% of the

benefits go to the top 2%. you are hurting the states, you are taking money away from the states as discretionary spending. it is radical. he was referring to paul ryan and the republican congress not to mitt romney who is a timid moderate which is why he's probably not going to get elected. it doesn't go to ryan's own statement of socialability that he says he wants. bill: the government is spending a trillion dollars more per year than it makes. >> but look where the money goes. it's helping the rich and hurting the poor. it takes money away from education, it takes money away from the states. >> you can throw out bumper stickers all you want. but the truth is. 51%. americans receive more in benefits than they pay into the

system. half of americans don't pay federal income taxes as you know. so the idea we are riding on the backs of the poor is absurd. >> that's what this plan does. >> we are going broke. and we are going broke because of entitlements. >> why won't they ever raise taxes. why won't they do something to bring income into the government. reagan raised taxes 11 times. bill: do you think raising taxes will dig us out of the hole? >> that's one of many things you have to do. bill: do you think the government is capable of doing that? >> it's easier to raise taxes and curtail middle class benefits. medicare, medicaid, that's a math question. bill: why are democrats afraid to take that on. >> they are not afraid to take that on.

this president has offered $10 in cuts for every dollar in taxes. he has offered a number of cuts. he offered a trillion dollars in cuts that was rejected by there is conservative congress. >> republicans are by and large unwilling to address the central problem which is medicare. let's name the problem. it's medicare. republicans are afraid of it, too. but for this president who is supposed to be leading the federal government to resist any attempt to curtail any healthcare spending is full on irresponsible. bill: are the american people clued into that? >> if you can make the case. where are the republicans making this case that we are going broke? bill: congressman ryan is doing it. >> the congressional budget office shows we save money under the affordable care act.

premiums would go up exponentially if we didn't have the plan in place. i have not heard romney offer a plan for anything. bill: he has gotten behind ryan on this. remember, no red states, no blue states, remember? it' the united states. we are not uniting, we are dividing. you can divide and unite. thank you, alan. martha: they are so cozy now. bill: look at this. martha: that's right, bill. these pictures have just come in to us. look at these folks picking through the remnants of their homes as they take a look at what it all came down to for them. it's a very difficult day in lancaster, texas. those and more brand-new pictures are coming in. bill: back in 2009 we showed you the amazing flying car for the first time. that was us right there on the

not to appear in wisconsin, or maryland or the district of columbia. he was in pennsylvania. it was a pennsylvania campaign speech, didn't mention anything about the fact that he had just lost three primaries. right now the people paying attention to each other are mitt romney and barack obama. martha: let's take a look at another sound byte with regards to all of this. >> one of my potential opponents governor romney has said he hoped a similar version of this plan from last year would be interest tkaoubsed as introduce eu introduced as a bill on day one of his presidency. he was very supportive of this budget and he even called it marvelous, which is a word you don't often here when it comes to describing a budget. martha: a lot of people sort of look at that word march virginia lurkmarvelous, it has all kind of connotations. you can hear it embedded what the president was saying there,

right? >> he's trying to suggest there is kind of a richie rich element in romney. this is a two-fer for the president. he's obviously at war with republicans in congress, paul ryan the chairman of the house budget committee has come up with a new budget, the house has passed it. the president and mitt romney were joined at the hip last week. he says likely rival mitt romney, and all his rivals in the house, paul ryan. martha: mitt romney handily won the tea party vote 48%. rick santorum has occupied that space in some of the previous primaries. is that significant to you in terms of kind of coalescing his support? >> it really is. if you look at some other exit polls one of the key ones has always been, how does each candidate do with the voters who identify themselves as very

conservative, those who identify themselves as somewhat conservative and those who say they are moderate or liberal. romney won all three last night. santorum usually has done well with the ones who said they were very conservative. romney won all the categories in wisconsin last night. martha: interesting look on where we are this morning on what many believe is a big day in this road that we are on for 2012. we'll see you soon. bill: santorum was 0-3. he says it's only halftime in the race. last night he was telling supporters in his home state of pennsylvania, that the field is going to change onc next month once you get to pennsylvania and a more favorable cal he believes in the month of may. comparing himself in the campaign to another underdog who went onto win two terms in the white house. >> i remind everybody the one time that we did win in the last 120 years, republican party had the courage to go out and

nominate someone who all the experts and all the pundits, and all the republican establishment said couldn't win, he was too conservative. he lost almost every early primary. he only one won until may, one primary till may, everybody told him to get out of the face, this was back in 1976, they said get automatic of the race, we ned a moderate. in 1976 ronald reagan didn't get out of the race, he was able to stand tall in may, win the state of texas, which we have every intention ever doing. [cheering] bill: texas is month of may. but earlier in the week santorum was on our program guaranteeing a win in pennsylvania, three weeks from yesterday the 24th of april. martha: the last republican nominee for president had a different message for rick santorum saying he believes it's

time for him to go. john mccain said that voters recognize the writing on the wall and santorum should too. >> they've watched this really rather disastrous campaign, which has really raised the unfavorable of all of our republican candidates rather dramatically. they'll be looking at him and give him i think another opportunity. i also hope that rick santorum would understand that it's time for a grateful exitment. martha exit. martha: when asked who romney should pick as a vice presidental candidate mccain said sarah palin love listing before listing a few others. bill: we shall see. breaking news on this. they are waking up to miles of destruction. folks in lancaster, texas, surveying the scene after

vicious tornadoes carved a path of destruction right through the area of lancaster and dallas. people in the area reliving the nightmare now. >> i wasn't afraid or anything, so, i was just laying there and all of a sudden it sounded like a train was coming and i was on the track. i was on the way i guess, just boom, boom, boom, just loud noise. i started hearing glass shatter, wind blowing. i looked up and i was in the bedroom and it looked like i would see the sky you know. bill: we just hear that story so many times when these people have had their homes wiped off their foundation. look at this image, too, that is spooky stuff, the storms raking through the area. red crosses mates 650 families are now homeless. the tornado ripping through a nursing home in arlington, texas, three injured there. rick weymouth is down there live for us. this is the time of year now. we are in april, rib, good morning anrick, good morning

and how does it look there. >> reporter: they mostly april in april, may and june, we are early april here. in texas, that's when we start to see it. we have the beginning of the season and we have tkpw-pblg like this. i' damage like this. i'm standing in what should be a garage. there is no roof, no walls, this is a garage with an event tee way intentryway into the house. you can come into the house into the kitchen and the roof is gone, bill. you've seen a lot of tornadoes at times that are very wide and they stay on the ground the whole time, this wasn't one of those cases. there were 12 tornadoes yesterday here in the dallas area, the fourth most populated urban area in the country. for tornadoes coming through here, bouncing for a time and

skipping and hitting more houses. the damage in areas, it makes it harder to get in and get access to all those areas. the damage significant to a lot of people. a lot of people as you said 6 650 homes damaged and people have to make other arrangements to stay. ll: often it hits in the middle of the night and people are in their bed and there is no warning. was there warning? you showed us that concrete wall. are there base tph-plts tha basements in that part of texas. >> there are basements. everybody was aware of it because the local stations here had that visual sight. we saw the tornadoes happening live on the air, and so people had the warning that it was coming. they only had about ten minutes of warning, so it wasn't a lot of warning, and we weren't expecting a big tornado outbreak yesterday, we thought it would be more of a hailstorm than

tornado. they had a good advice out sight on that. people did what they did. you asked if there are basements. these are significant homes here. a neighborhood with a lot of brick construction and basements. people had places to go and that's certainly one of the reasons why we didn't see fatalities. the national weather service did a great job of getting all the warnings out to people. they said this one potentially a tornado catastrophe. that language is something they reserve the right to use, but they tkoepb don't use it often. when they use it they say this is one of those events, they new it was a serious event, and possibly some of that tough language saved people's lives yesterday. bill: i bet it did. last hour we were remarking how the tornado seemed to skip and jump and pick out different areas. is that how it was where you were? >> that is exactly the case. you can see there are three houses in a row that all

sustained significant damage. one across the street, a lot of trees down. you can go a few houses down and hardly a shingle off. it's one of those that skipped, touched down, went back up, touched down again, and the places where it touched down is where we got all of the damage. bill: rick, thank you. there could be more storms on the way. we've been watching the radar today a little tpurt eas further east from you. we'll keep our fingers crossed there. something else to see it that close and intimate. good luck to them. martha: back to politics now for a moment. presidential candidate mitt romney may have lost a little bit of ground with a very key voting block. we'll talk to our panel of experts in that voting block and ask what he needs to do if he wants to become the nominee. bill: also this. >> this is guilt ladeling once again. trying to throw guilt on all these justices. look at what you're going to do to people if you vote the wrong

way. bill: rush limbaugh says the president has it all wrong anjou dish alactivism. we'll ask the judge about that. and then there is this. roll it. martha: this happened again, protesting college students pepper sprayed by the police. both side of that story great ahead. [ male announcer ] what if you have potatoes? but you've got a meat and potatoes guy? pour chunky sirloin burger soup over those mashed potatoes and dinner is served. four minutes, around four bucks. campbell's chunky -- it's amazing what soup can do.

bill: a scare at the iowa state house. debate halted on the house floor after a lawmaker opens an envelope containing a white powdery substance and threatening language inside. the lawmaker taken to a room off the house chamber while the inspectors examine the substance. that is him, you'll see him in a moment being encouraged by his fellow lawmakers. after an inspection there was no reason to evacuate the chamber. there he is right there. martha: it's no surprise that no candidate can win the presidency

without winning with women. last night mitt romney won them over in wisconsin in the prime air raoerbgs a primaries, as we've seen him do in all the primaries. he beat rick santorum by 7% in wisconsin. he's been strengthening his lead with the crucial block and some say it can be traced to the contraception question that came up in this race. according to the usa gallop poll president obama leads mitt romney by 18%, a pretty wide margin among women voters. when you think back bill clinton won over the soccer moments and george bush made the security moms feel safe during his elections. who can cap pure their hearts and minds this time around. let's bring in some of the best experts that we know, kt mcfarland, "american's newsroom" security analyst.

and jemeu green a fox news contributor. martha: that question that was brought up in the introduction, they believe the contraception issue is what threw some woman of of the g.o.p. band weighing and and pushed them back to president obama. andrea do you think that is the case? >> i don't think so at all. most woman are fully aware you can go to a drugstore and buy condoms relatively cheaply. you can go to planned parenhood and get them for free. there are other places you can get them for free. i don't think it's an issue for most women. anyone with any common-sense knows that. this has been used politically and it's done to hurt the republican party. i don't think it's had much impact at all. martha: does that move the needle towards president obama? what are you sensing among women you're talking to? >> i think it does play into a broader narrative that is

hurting republicans, hurting the brand of the republican party with women and you're seeing women tphraoelg the g.o.p. fleeing the g.o.p. it may not be about free contraception. the entire healthcare debate, whether it's soccer moms one year -- i think this year it's going to be about healthcare woman. and healthcare isn't a social issue, this is a very basic pocketbook issue for women and what they are seeing in the broader narrative is that one side is saying let women control their healthcare decisions and the republicans are saying, no, we want to put the control in the hands of politicians, and insurance companies. that's why women are fleeing the g.o.p. martha: it's interesting, obviously, ann romney has been put out there quite a bit lately and she is a great sur tkpwra suadvocate for her husband.

here is what he had to say. >> my wife points out as she talks to women they tell her that their number one concern is the economy, getting good jobs for themselves and for their families, understanding that their kids will have good jobs. martha: kt, did he help himself with that kind of sound byte do you think? >> i'm the only one who has run for office on this panel, and i ran for the united states senate in 2006. when i would talk to women's group the issues weren't about contraception and all that stuff. most people think that is yesterday's story i want today's story which is jobs. a lot of it is a personal decision. forget the statistics, you don't really care about that because it doesn't mean anything to you. you care about whether your spouse as a job, your kids have a job, you have a job, and if they don't you say why not, and if they do you are more sympathetic to hem. martha: michelle has been out

there a lot lately, doing something on the biggest loser and ann romney, a terrific advocate for her husband. who will be in that position in the white house? >> i hope it doesn't matter. i think that the message has to come directly from the candidate. the voters, especially women are going to be looking to both president obama and governor romney, who can they trust? who do they feel is going to take their concerns and be able to deliver on what they need to provide for their family, and that is why i think these numbers are playing so well in president obama's favor. yes, of course, every issue is a woman's issue, it's not just healthcare decisions or reproductive decisions that women are worried about. they are looking at these candidates and kind of the filter of their wives or other advocates add flair to it but it

has to come directly from the candidate. martha: obviously candidate is the most important thing. i think there is a subliminal affect of the first lady as being sort of part of this package this you're voting for, this family that you're voting for. a quick thought on ann romney, how much can she help him with woman do you think. >> an enormous amount if she does it and gets out on her own. she is very compelling. everyone who has met her says why isn't she running for president. i think it's important to get her out and to women's groups. >> if you have somebody in that role that the voters can't relate to that can harm the presidential candidate. it depends what kind of a role -- hillary clinton had a very, very large role in the presidency. some first ladies have more of a role than others. what people perceive in how effective they'll be in influencing their house and what role they'll have going forward too. >> she has to hel help him find

the feminine side. martha: thank you so much. bill: women rising. well done. we are learning more about the man accused of gunning down at least seven at a christian school in california. the suspect is in court today. what police are saying that may have triggered that deadly rampage. violent tornadoes tearing across the country. there is more on that radar today. >> on tv at work all i could see is this house. i want to thank god that everybody was safe. my wife just happened to leave to go pick up my son minutes before this tornado hit. there's some pictures, some valuable heirlooms lost that i won't get back. only $79.99 for a lucid by lg ?

i can get a smartphone with verizon 4g lte ? it'd be so easy to check facebook, send emails. and the screen is easier to read in sunlight ! the universe is practically telling me to get a smartphone. it's like, "lisa, 'd be super cool if you got a smartphone. also, i like your outfit." thanks universe, let's get me a lucid. come in and say hellto your new, easy to use smartphone. the lucid by lg for only $79.99. verizon.

bill: we know the suspect in the deadliest campus shooting in a year going to court today, the man facing seven counts of

murder. cloud yeah coul claudia cowan is on the story. >> reporter: 43-year-old juan goh will be arraigned this morning. he is being held without bail on suspicion of seven counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and other charges. police are still searching a nearby water way looking for the murder weapon. goh told police he ditched the gun during his get away after the shooting rampage. >> the suspect has made it very clear to the investigators that he did discard the weapon, the exact location is still unknown, but investigators have narrowed in on a certain area that they are looking at as far as possibly where this firearm has been discarded by the suspect. >> reporter: the search is slow going because of the murky water but they'll be back out there bain georgia. they say goh legally purchased

the gun several weeks after he got expelled from that school, an indicator he had been planning this attack for a week. the suspect had a lot of issues. he was in debt, his mother and brother had recently died an wanted to exact revenge on those who said teased him because of his poor english. according to a former neighbor his english was actually pretty good. bill, there may be likely other motives here. bill: doesn't equate to murder. thank you on that story in san francisco today. martha. martha: we are hearing some amazing stories of survival that are coming out of texas this morning. tornadoes raked the northeast part of the state with little warning. >> i saw, you know, it hit quick. i saw the clouds, i ran in there and by the time i shut the door it hit. martha: wow, ahead we'll talk to a man who makes it his business to go to the heart of these storms. bill: also, meet the captain today, keith colburn from the hit show the deadliest catch. wait until you hear about the

deadliest catch yet of all time that is. martha: i love that show. >> you've got hanger, pain, sleep deprivation. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. fohalf the calories plus vgie nutrition. could've had a v8.

bill: there are new concerns of severe weather yet again today as we get a clear picture of what happened when monster tornadoes tore through the suburbs of dallas, people just watching and yelling and praying for the best like this.

>> woe. >> do you see that? bill: they are at a safe distance might. necessary guest in a moment is not. at least 18 reports of tornadoes across the dallas, fort worth area. storm chaser reed timer was on the job. good morning to you. what did you see yesterday? >> well, we dropped south into north texas, and our mission is research in nature. we had niece armored vehicles that are specifically designed to get inside tornadoes, and so tornadoes that are going through populated areas like dallas we can't target because of flying debris that could potentially roll our vehicle. we were waiting northeast of dallas near sulfur springs texas, and the whole thing was rain wrapped. they became concealed with rain and it made it quite dangerous.

70, 80-mile per hour winds, golf ball-sized hail. bill: why are there more dangerous when there is rain attached to them? >> when you get these rain-wrapped tornadoes the rain will wrap around the circulation and you can't see it coming, except with doppler radar. that's where the national weather service come into play issuing the warnings based on radar rotation. when you're out there driving on the highway and they are wrapped in rain, many times you can't see that. bill: it wraps it from your vision and you can't see it. you said you have to have the perfect timing in a storm. in what way? >> this forecast was very difficulty. difficult. this was a west to east outflow boundary. you had warm unstable air to the

south. as the storms pass the narrow corrider they quickly produce and quickly dissipate. bill: how close did you get, reed on this one? >> we came real close. we were, i'd say right underneath the developing circulation with rain wrapping all the way around. we did record good data. bill: one mile? two files? what is that? >> probably about 50 feet, which i wouldn't recommend if you didn't have the armored vehicle that we had, that is for sure. bill: 50 feet? >> we have an armored vehicle that is specifically designed to withstand the winds of a tornado. we've intercepted 150 power winds in one. last chase it didn't happen, but we'll just keep chasing. there are tornadoes that are too strong for us to intercept. those we'll try to avoid. bill: i think it's interesting you say when it gets to the metro areas folks like yourself have to back off because there is so much debris in that area is that right?

>> for research for interest septembering the tornadoes directly, a tornado filled with debris is not one that we'd want to be inside. we'd want to be in a tornado that is in the middle of nowhere, not harming anyone, doesn't have that debris. we are trying to better understand the wind circulations inside tornadoes. to do that when you have debris filing in there it could easily roll our vehicle that attaches to the ground and is covered with armor to protect us from it but when it's going through a dfw area, for example, i mean that is just -- it's unfortunate and there is all kinds of debris flying through the tornadoes. bill: what can do you with the information you're gathering, reed? >> right now we are in the early phase of trying to understand how strong the wind speeds get, especially right near the ground. and the tornadoes will split up into like miniature tornadoes that spin around in the inside and they are capable of causing

extensive damage to one house and another house is untouched. we saw that in the arlington, texas area. there was minimal damage on one house and another house was complete devastation. we measure how strong the wind speeds get, and look at the minimum ta tour tornadoes that spithe miniature tornadoes that swirl around inside. bill: i think the tornadoes are east of you today. be safe out there. thank you for your time. martha: the housing market is still feeling the affects of a slow economy, of course. so what does it take to get your house sold when your neighbors isn't selling? shannon bream joins us now with part two of the pegs report on the housing crisis. >> reporter: it is a very tricky market and the realtors who have stuck around during this time have been experts as trying to get homes moving. you know, the number of realtors and their earnings peaked in 2007, there's been a lot of attrition since then.

we talked to paul bishop of the national association of realtors. he said author those able to hold on it's been a rough ride. >> it's been really tough for a lot of real stores, because they are work just as hard and sometimes harder in the case of working with sellers who are underwater, or distressed transactions, it takes a lot of work to do that. they are work being just as hard or harder than they did before, and not earning as much. >> reporter: something that's been tricky for both realtors and buyers alike, new federal regulations under the dodd-frank bill taking care of wall street and reforming things there, it's made it a lot tougher for folks to get an appraisals and financing, that has added tough challenges as well. martha: how will clients trying to sell their house. >> reporter: it takes a lot of old fashioned hard work. gone of the days where you used to sit around and wait for the phone to ring for a bidding war to brick out over house. real stores we talked to said,

listen you have to do everything and anything you can. this is a bit of what she told us. >> i'm still doing the old fashioned stuff. i'm calling expired listings every day, calling for sell by owners every day. i'm looking for buyers every day. i'm really the old fashioned call on the phone person still, but we're doing everything that we know to do. >> reporter: one thing that she and other real stores told us is working is leveraging social media, tweeting, using the internet for listings. they've been on there for years, but they say now folks have to be flexible, meeting to phaoeupt at a coffee shop with clients. you can do business anywhere these real stores say if you have a strong web presence. the more you can push a house out there the more you can drive traffic to that house. martha: you have to be a go getter, no doubt about it. for more on our special shattered tkaoerpls, our housing series head over to foxnews.com/shattered dreams. tomorrow be sure to tur tune in for part three of the series.

bill: those are good tips out there especially when you're trying to sell your home where the market is really soft out there. rush limbaugh says president obama's comments about the supreme court have nothing to do with law. >> there is nothing judicial going on here. there is nothing legal. this isn't really about the constitution, this is about politics, pure and simple and barack obama's re-election. bill: he says obama has been all wrong on judicial activism. the judge will ask him about that in moments. martha: an unusual, down right weird, actually family herbgs irloomheirloom, a mummy, actually. how do you say no, thanks? ♪ he did the "monster mash." >> he did the mash. >> it was a graveyard smash. ♪ ♪

having one of those days? tired. groggy. can't seem to get anything done. it makes for one, lousy day. but when you're alert and energetic... that's different. you're more with it, sharper, getting stuff done. this is why people choose 5-hour energy over 9-million times a week. it gives them the alert, energetic feeling they need to get stuff done. 5-hour energy...when you gotta get stuff done.

bill: think you have strange

things in your client? a mummy mystery in oregon. hillary inherit erred inherited a mummy called gretchen. she's told her kids it's not real, but now she is not so sure. nationally known scientists are now investigating. >> ultimately when i first started this sort of venture i wanted to sell her, and then now i've been having so much fun with her, i don't know if i want to sell her, but she is kind of underfoot. [laughter] >> i want to expose her first. bill: how about six feet under? lester says the mummy dates back to 1840 perhaps. the mystery unveiled, or set to be unveiled next week at oregon state, university. i don't know about you -- martha: odd thing to inherit. she doesn't look very wrapped up. bill: put it in the ground. be done with her. martha: host rush limbaugh now blasting president obama for

declaring that the supreme court would be engaging in quote, judicial activism if it threw the healthcare law out, listen. >> he has totally and incorrectly miss defined, or in correctly defined judicial activism. judicial -- nobody ever accuses judges of judicial activism for following the constitution. judicial ab activism is when judges do not follow the constitution, when they legislate from the bench, when they write their own law. the court must understand, is one of his sound bytes. no, the court must not, does not have to listen to you. what is this. the court must understand. that is a threat.

how many of you think it possible that obama will make a trip to the supreme court before the vote -- before the final vote? can you see it happening? i can. martha: very interesting. rush limbaugh yesterday, let's bring in judge andrew in a poll tan kwroenapolitano our fox legal news analyst. >> reporter: nobody could say it better than our good colleague rush. martha: what do you think about him saying that the president in his opinion not really understanding what judicial activism is. >> reporter: when the court rules the way you don't want them to rule you accuse them of being a judicial activist. that is a snarky definition. what rush said is true, it's profoundly the stkwrob of the courjob of the court to enforce the constitution, whether it's

popular or not. that's why they are life tenured so they don't have to concern themselves with the popularity of their decision n that respect rush is correct, and he's wise to make this comment as poignant lee as he made it. in terms of the president saying the court must understand, rush is also right on the mark. the court does not have to listen to the president. he should not be threatening or admonishing them, and if he shows up at their doorstep and tries to talk to them about this case, or play nice, nice to them in public, they should lock the door and not see him. they can socialize with him after they take their summer break. martha: i thought it was interesting, rush touched on this in an earlier sound byte of his that we played and it goes to the issue of president obama talking about people with preexisting conditions, children with diseases and families that don't have the money to pay for their treatment, and things along those lines. he was appealing to sort of their sense of sympathy in this case, preexisting conditions. is that appropriate in your

opinion in. >> well, the president is entitled to make political statements to advance his chances for getting reelected. but the supreme court will have a deaf ear with respect to anything he, or anybody else for that matter says that does not come to them through the ordinary channels under their rules. look, they read newspapers, and they watch television like the rest of us, so they are certainly aware of what he said. will they take it into account? will they put it in that part of their brains to which they refer when they deliberate on this case? absolutely not. and they shouldn't. martha: rush was weighing in also on his thoughts on whether or not there was a leak, whether president obama knows how that sort of preliminary vote went on friday. of course we may never know the answer to that question. what do you think, though? what is your assessment? >> i think the system is ironclad. i know of no leak about the ultimate outcome of a case in mod erp times, eve modern

times, even a case as controversial as rowe vs. wade which was argued in 72 and issued in 73. i think those are rumors perpetrated by the president's own people. martha: thank you so much for weighing n. we'll see you soon. bill: sad story. june? early or late june. the second week, the third week or the fourth week. i say the fourth week. martha: we'll be right on the edge of our seats. bill: a wild scene on campus. look out, students pepper sprayed by their own police. what students were demanding and why police said they had no other option. martha: plus, time for the deadliest catch, folks it's returning for its powerful 8th season. tuesday it gets rolling.

is the crew now at risk of losing their livelihood? the ship's captain is on board, folks, with us next. >> we have a man down here, man done. are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement

jenna: coming up on "happening now" at the top of the hour we are keep a close eye on weather reports across the nation today. we have more severe weather expected after twisters tore through texas. we are live on the ground there with all those breaking details. plus, how much is too much? when i comes to screening for cancer, can you actually over do it? we're going to go deeper into that with our medical a team, all coming up on "happening now."

martha: thanks, we're looking forward to that. it has happened again. students pepper sprayed by police at a california school. this time it happened at santa monica college. take a look. at least 30 demonstrators were sprayed outside a school trustee meeting. the students say they were trying to get inside the small room and police tried to push them out. the campus police say that two officers were backed up against a wall during that crush, and that they used the pepper spray because the crowd got out of hand. which one was it? we may never know. >> get down. >> 31-year-old engineer tarin snyder was thrown to the deck by a massive wave. >> yes or no, is he okay? >> terry, i thought he was seriously injured.

bill: have you seen that show? because right now we are told this could be the deadliest catch yet. that's what the crew says, after embarking on the most emotional journey to date. a captain keith coal burn from the deadliest catch is with me. he was on board that boat. how you doing captain. >> i'm doing great. bill: you guys were way up there. this is the barring sea, right ph, west coast of alaska. >> there are times when we are literally as close to russia as we are alaska. bill: and it's dark and cold, and the seas can be so unpredictable. what is different about this journey? >> you know, every season we don't know what we're going to get, we don't if it's going to be a big year for ice, for weather, you know, a mild year. this year -- i've been doing this for 26 years and i can honestly say this is the toughest season i've ever had. bill: how come? >> i just got home just a couple of weeks ago, and i've been

having nightmares ever since i got home. bill: really? >> like go to the shrink type of nightmares. bill: what happened out there? >> we had the worst season and the worst year in the last hundred years for the ice pack moving down on top of us into the fishing grounds. bill: what does that do to you when you're on board. >> you know what, until you see it on tv to witness what we actually have to go through trying to work in and around the ice and basically getting our boats caught in the ice at times, you know what it's hard to describe. bill: could you see that beforehand? >> oh, yeah, no we're trying to fish in it. bill: you are? >> we are doing our best to try to catch our crab and go home. there are times when the ice roars on top of you and you have to find a way to get it out of there. bill: does it roll over the top of the ship? >> it can. bill: did it? >> let's just say this. i haven't been this close to losing the boat this many times ever. bill: if you go down is there anyone else to pull you out?

>> um, at times we have other boats that are in the vicinity, but, you know, when you're talking water temperatures that are below 30 degrees, you don't go in the water and come back out of it. bill: your chances of survival drop significantly. >> yeah, we are basically kind of on our own and hoping that the coast guard is within striking range, and the weather permitting for them to come hopefully rescue us. bill: so it's something to watch. >> you know what, i'm definitely going to watch it. bill: emotional and physical, i'd imagine a job like that, that is 24-7 then. >> we never stop. bill: even if you are taking a nap you're not going to nap for long, are you? >> it's hard to get any real sleep when you're out there in those conditions. that's when i get home i usually sleep about two days straight. bill: you seem exhausted just talking to you. we wish you the best of luck. we are interested in seeing what you found out there, captain. next tuesday night, on the discovery channel, the deadliest catch. this could be the deadliest to
