voters and independents. he talked about the expanding republican field and what it will take to beat hillary clinton. >> a gentleman who doesn't get much attention in new hampshire and yet he won the 2008 iowa caucuses, mike huckabee. back phrases, how do you describe him. >> don't know him. >> graceful. >> radio personality. >> quiet. >> too quiet. >> you talk about him as pattern. what about as a candidate? >> i think he's the anti-thesis of chris christie. chris christie is bombastic and argumentative and he'll get in
7:42 am
your face where mike huckabee is way the other way. i'm not sure we need an extreme in either direction for the next president. >> i think his time has come and gone. >> he reminds me of a vegetables. they're good for you but you don't want to eat them. >> you've been holding that. >> i believe the democrats did a great job of winning over the youth and the inspiration that was barack obama at the beginning is something that i think the republican party need goes was on. >> we have the perfect opportunity for it. if hillary is going to be the candidate, they have the -- what they used to complain about us they have it now. we need to get the other one and maybe we can win. >> there are two fundamental competing differences, a candidate who can defeat hillary clinton who's a likely democratic nominee or a candidate who agrees on the issue. who says issues. who says defeat hillary clinton.
7:43 am
so essentially we're tied. why do you want to defeat hillary clinton. why is that enough for you? >> to me i look at obama or version three. i think we've had enough of this for eight years. we need new ideas. >> i think it's important to vote for candidate you agree with on the issues so you can vote for someone rather than voting against somebody. >> supreme court. >> why? >> well they're getting older. they're going need to be replaced. do i really want a democratic candidate, a president like hillary clinton to be appointing the next two or three supreme court justices? >> they're getting older? they've always been older. >> for the ideals i vote in the primaries. for the general election i'm going to vote for the one. >> i think i'm on the side who votes for the other person, i vote for the person nobody
7:44 am
knows. this time i feel it's detrimental if we don't win this one more sore. >> frank luntz is with us from london. good morning. >> good morning. >> the question is do they want someone they agree with or someone that can win? >> the thing is they actually want both but i believe when push comes to shove, in new hampshire they're going to choose the person who can defeat hillary clinton. in iowa, i think they're going to choose the person they agree with the most. that's the untold story that the very first story is very electric. i was more conservative more socially aware, more focused on those types of issues. so what you heard there with new hampshire voters is the desire to make a change the desire to ensure that a republican is the next president. >> if they wanted to defeat hillary clinton, who would they choose? >> i wish i could tell. six week ago, eight weeks ago i talked about scott walker being
7:45 am
a very effective candidate. i'm going to launch a new name for you now. that's marco rubio. since his announcements he's been doing better. and charlie, one of the things you have to know is these national polls are not indicative of what's happening in the first few states. the national numbers are telling you about name i.d. i only care about new hampshire and south carolina and over the last few weeks it's been marco rubio who's been gaining. >> if you look they say marco rubio is the most widely acceptable republican candidate among likely republican primary voters. >> and what we have found -- i'm going to give you two points to look at. who's everybody's second choice. you can't become a first up till you're a second. the second is ratio of positive to negative and both have the highest ratio. some are 6:1 and 7:1. no one has that kind of
7:46 am
popularity which means that kind over the next couple of weeks or months. >> today is mike huckabee's day. what are his chances? >> he double do as welg in new hampshire because thai they're economic conservatives rather than social conservatives. you can't count him out. he did an incredible job in 2008 surprising people but he's not a front-runner at this point because he tends to do so much better among the conservative aspect. >> frank luntz from london. thank you. >> thank you. >> bold-faced names on parade. inside the stylish gala or ball la as you prefer. it's become a hot ticket for celebrities. plus a wedding crasher lifts spirit. the airborne

the case. what does it mean for the national effort to punish revenge important offenders. hi, rikki. i've never even heard of this phrase "revenge porn." >> well revenge porn has really become a new phrase and it's really important. new jersey where cunningham is being prosecuted has one of the oldest laws. it dates back to 2003. there are now 17 states that have laws ten more that are looking at it and there's good reason for it. as i often say law needs to catch up with technology. what we have by virtue of cell phones and computers and tablets is the ability to take or receive a nude foelt that is sexually explicit. it gets posted without the victim's consent and them it is done with malice.
8:35 am
what happens is you have a domestic dispute, jilted lover. men are the victims but also women. what they don't think about these cases is she had that photo in her phone, she shouldn't have taken that photo. the truth is it's what we used to say about sexual assault. it's this whole thick about blaming the victim. this could ruin someone's life. >> what kind of punishments might he receive? >> invasion of privacy and by the way there was also a gun that was confiscated in his car. for the invasion of privacy or revenge upon law it could be a punishment up to three to five years. this is not an insignificant offense. he's the most well known in the celebrity status of revenge porn to date. i think it's important. i think we need to look at this. i think we cannot condone this
8:36 am

8:38 am
healthy ash kago grove and in just minutes the camera spots trees in trouble. trees indicated in yellow or red may be infected by a fungus carried by the ambrosia beetle that carries the laura wilt. >> what they're going to do is cover more area for us and pinpoint the area that might have the disease. >> once the drone has narrowed the search area the dogs get to work. the fungus spreads to a tree's interior and is invisibility to the human eye. but the smell is inescape tobl the sensitive noses of these trains dogs. they check every tree and sit when the disease is detected. >> what went through your mind when you saw that the dogs were so effective? >> amazing. this was such a difficult thing
8:39 am
for them to do is sniff out fungus inside of a tree. it's not like drugs inside smn's pocket. >> reporter: laura wilt has killed an estimated 6,000 trees in florida in the last seven years. the state is the second large ef producer in the station a $64 million injury now at risk. >> what's one of your biggest concerns with this fungus? >> it hits the tree amtd's quick. it doesn't take long. once it shows the symptoms it's over. >> the fungus moves fast. in just a couple of weeks a farmer's lush green ave kago growth can turn into a field of devastation like this. the dogs and droins enable growers to'd fie infected trees before they start showing symptoms. farmers can treat them and surrounding trees with an i.v. fun ga side so they don't infect
8:40 am
the rest of the grove. it was his idea to use dogs to ferret out the fungus. >> by early detection with the dogs, we think we can do an early treatment sim la to cancer. if you can do an early detection of cancer we can save the patient and we believe we can do the same thing with trees. >> reporter: scientists are now working on a plan to train other dogs to detect laura wilt around the world. what would it mean to lose awe of your groves? >> we've got a lot of memories here. i can remember mowing and harvesting with my dad and my grandkids. it would be a personal loss. >> reporter: scientists are hoping to stop the disease here in florida. their concern is that it will spread to california.
