>> given the size of his organization and number of primarieses he's won, he is far and awe way the post most likely the republican nominee. i'll will support him and do everything i can this fall to beat obama. the goal of the entire republican party has to be. >> i'm going to bring in real clear politics and are we getting closer to that point in this process that mitt rvm has been hope for? erin, pennsylvania, the next state to vote. romney is going to roll out $2 million in ads against santorum. with his daughter back in the hospital some might ask is this time for him to bow out gracefully? >> a lot of republicans are saying that. in all of these days he's had off they take that as a sign. i talked with the santorum campaign this weekend. they say it's full speed ahead on tuesday. going to continue with a full schedule and will start to meet

with more conservative leaders because they want conservatives to coalesce behind santorum. i talked to the romney campaign about this and they continue to say that they think rick santorum could win the popular vote in pennsylvania but they will come away with more delegates in pennsylvania and make it all that much colorer that mitt romney will eventually be the nominee. >> and santorum should step down. perry, newt gingrich is $4.5 million in debt right now and here he is on fox yesterday. take a listen. >> we owe much more than we wanted to. florida got to be a real brawl. we are operating on a shoestring. great response in north carolina. >> so, perry, does that surprise you what we've been saying he said? is he pretty much admitting it's over for newt gingrich? >> he did. talking to fox over the weekend he seems to say that romney is going to win. it's taken a while to get there. remember in wisconsin he

finished behind ron paul. the voters are moved past newt gingrich and i think the voterses decided he's not going to be the republican nominee and gingrich is saying as well now. the conservative base is not necessarily all going to jump toward santorum if gingrich drops out. you saw in wisconsin he didn't do well. and romney is doing better among tea party and conservative voters. getting behind romney, getting close to this thing being over. >> perry, you bring up a good point. look at the voters on the margin from the gop as they move forward to the general election, new democratic poll you probably have both seen. suggests that president obama has a slim lead over mitt romney with a key group swing independence. when you look to favorability of moves 57% to 41%.

er writt erin, how big of a problem is this? >> it's a big problem. i think the romney campaign is happy that the primary is coming to a close although i think they expected it to be over much soon sooner so they could pivot to a general election and appeal to the voter because mitt romney does not want to be litigating his conservative record. he wants to be talking about being a governor of massachusetts, which is a democratic state. and working across the aisle with democrats in that legislature to get a lot of things passed because he wants to be able to say he's a bigger figure than the president is and really can work in the center as opposed to just on the right. >> now, when you talk about a swing group, we've got to talk about women. perry, this to you. here is president obama friday. take a listen to this first. >> women are not some monolithic block. women are not an interest group. you shouldn't be treated that way. >> so, perry, where has the

discussion of women not been -- has not acknowledged the complexity of this group? >> i think particularly the contraceptive discussion has not been helpful to republicans. campaigns never acknowledge the complexitiies of different issues. republicans may be saying the economy is all that matters to all voters. both of those things are too simplistic. romney is doing good among the key group and he has to close that gap. right now, double digit for romney and he has to do something. he's talking about ann romney is my secret weapon. women voters do care more just about than your wife. talk about issues as well, if he's going to have to close that gap he'll have to go more than talk about his wife, talk about issues. >> he has alluded to his wife whenever a question does come up regarding women issues.

erin, he may have problems with women that mccain did at this point in 2008, "washington post"/abc news poll, they show that mccain was viewed favorably by 47% of women and romney is 30% favorable among women. is it personal or con textural? >> i think it's this cont contraception issue that we were talking about all through the late winter and early spring so far. that's done a lot of damage to the republican party. and now the republican national committee has kind of ak fon acknowledged that and they're moving the dialogue a little bit. now, i would point out to you when jobs numbers came out on friday the rnc put out a statement that was tethered entirely to women and made the point that when president obama took office unemployment for women was 7% and under the president it's going up to 8.1%. they have acknowledged in

private meetings in washington that it is a problem and they need to do something about it so they're now messaging toward women on specifically the economy. >> perry, will it work? >> i think women generally do vote for democrats more than republicans. i think romney will close the gap. he's out of the primary. he's now going to be able to run to the center. i think he will close this gap over the next few months. i don't think he will close it completely but i do think some of these things will work, yes. right now the two men accused of shooting and killing three people in oklahoma are being arraigned in a tulsa courtroom. jake england and alvin watts are facing charges randomly shot and killed three people and wounded two others on friday. all victims were black. england may have been trying to avenge his father's shooting death two years ago by a black man. nbc is in tulsa right now. the big story coming in this week right now, gabe, the facebook page of one of the accused. what do we know right now? >> reporter: that's right, richard. there are a let of questions surround that facebook page

taken down in the past day or so. again, police are stressing this has not been ruled a hate crime yet. but in that facebook page that appears to belong to one of the suspects, 19-year-old jake england, one of the posts was posted just hours before the shooting spree. and in that post england appears to mention that -- he appears to mention the murder of his father two years ago and he referred to the killer using a racial slur. now, another entry posted friday says, in part, quote, if something happens tonight, be ready for another funeral later. now, sfrends of the suspects do tell local newspaper here "the tulsa world" england may have been dealing with mental health issues perhaps. that in addition to his father's death two years ago his girlfriend reportedly taken her own life several months ago and that he may have been working through some of that anger. but again, police are cautioning people not to jump to

conclusions, not to call this a hate crime just yet. they just want to let this investigation play out. richard? >> gabe, you're right there in front of the courtroom. what do you expect to hear today? will we learn more about the two suspects and main their relationship? >> perhaps. we do know they were roommates. in this court hearing today it's a video arraignment which apparently got started just a few minutes ago. we'll hear the charges against the two suspects. three counts of first degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill, and one count of possessing a firearm while committing a felony. and then we'll hear whether the suspects plea guilty or not guilty. and then we'll find out the next court gate. >> gabe, thank you so much. award winning cbs newsman mike wallace known for tough questioning on "60 minutes" died saturday night. wallace did not spare anyone when it came to tough questioning. here's a clip of his interview with first lady nancy reagan, for instance, who was a personal

international situations that have our attention this morning. first to north korea. new worries there. the isolated country's military is readying a third nuclear test underground. also for the first time north korean officials allowed dozens of foreign journalists, among them nbc rimp charred engel, to look at a long-range rocket. the pentagon fearses could reach the u.s. in the middle east. another nuclear concern. the navy says its deployed a second aircraft carrier to the persian gulf over rising tensions with iran and the nuclear program. this is om only the fourth time that's happened in the past ten years. syria, new violence threatens a proposed cease-fire to end a year of deadly clashes.

syrian military forces killed 30 peemd people today. most women and children in hama. joining us is former u.s. ambassador and middle east adviser. ambassador, thanks for being here. >> pleasure. >> new leader, very young. is he simply saber rattling again, a paper tiger, or should we be concerned about what the news is coming oulthd right now? >> richard, we have to be concerned because not only is kim jong-on going to effect to controlling all of north korea by taking control of the workers party but this coincides with the 100th birthday of the leader of north korea jim il-sul kim i. there's 22 confluent events occurring where the north koreans are going to have an effect quite a fireworks display. >> threat to the united states specifically and also we have the region, ral lies are there, south korea and japan. they want to mill tarrize. >> not only a potential missile

launch which they're putting into disguise of a weather satellite which has the capacity of reaching alaska. this follows in the wake of what has been potential third nuclear test in north korea. and the president was just there and the united states just signed a new agreement to provide food in exchange for opening up disarmament agreement negotiations. >> ambassador, then what should the u.s. do, cut off the food aid? >> we have to. look, there's only one way in which to dole with north korea. there are carrots and b there are sticks and we have to keep control of the sticks. there's no point in a peacing kim jung-un right now. >> and who knows what's happening politically internally there in the dprk at the moment. let's go to the second subject. iran, for the fourth time in a decade, two u.s. carriers in that region at the moment.

what's the concern you believe as we look at these developments? six-way talks about to begin as well there. >> well, the six-way talks with are under the auspices of the turks are going to in effect open up the door once again to a potential negotiation. but the ratcheting up of economic sanctions against iran and deployment of our fourth carrier task force into the gulf signifies the united states is of the mind at this point in time that the iranians are going to have to get not only the message that they have to sit down and negotiate but that the united states is not going to be i'm t intimidated by them. >> we've got this dynamic on the balance here if united states might consider a nuclear program. might consider. on tflip side, israeli saying anyone considering that in iran is deluding themselves. that's a difficult piece of calculus itself. >> richard, we have two competing visions right now.

on the other hand israelis are concerned that once the iranians enrich sufficient urine yaum beyond 20%, that indicates that the iranians are determined to build a nuclear weapon. the united states on the other hand says, until we have hard proof that they actually are constructing a weapon, we will not move. so you have this disagreement on yet at the same time. we know that the north koreans rb wrenked more than 20%. uranium. that means they have gone beyond the peaceful threshold. >> i'm going get to syria because we have more time here. bigger threat. north korea or at the moment iran? >> no doubt that iran is a much bigger threat because of the fact that the factors are beyond almost the united states' control. >> syria, we have this latest development this morning. 30 killed, women and children. when we see what is happening at the moment, the escalation, is this cease-fire negotiated by the u.n., is that in dang ever the moment? >> kofi annan's plan was accept bed i the syrians. tomorrow is the deadline by

which the syrian forces were to withdraw from all of these cities. they are using this time clearly to continue the killing, to continue the massacre. the key test is whether or not they pull back their fosts by tomorrow. if not, this plan is just a joke and it's consistent with bashar al-assad's attitude. he will not stop until he kills every one of those syrian opponents and the turks have accused the syrians from firing into syrian refugee camps today. >> how much before it gets better? >> any hope for a cease-fire is a fool at this time. until assad goes the syrian opponents -- look how many people he's killed. >> that's the point. we don't want to see it get worse. you're saying it could. >> i'm afraid it could. >> ambassador ginsburg, thank you so much. new york jets backup quarterback tim tebow spoke before a crowd of 15,000 in an outdoor service near austin, texas.

it's over 30,000 people expected to take part in the 134th annual easter egg roll. the weather is accommodating today. we expect president obama and the first lady to officially kick things off any minute right now coming out to that balcony. kristen welker is live. we understand the theme is one of the first lady's favorites. >> absolutely, richard. good morning to you. the theme this year, let's go, let's play, let's move. of course, that's in line with the first lady's let's move initiative. and i beltt a lot of the parent here are welcoming this theme, especially after all the easter chocolate their kids consumed yesterday probably, richard. so all the different activities today are sort of going to be in line with that theme. there are going to be a lot of sporting booths, a healthy eating booth here today, and also a yoga station so kids are going to get to try all of that out. also, arts and crafts.

it's going to be a really neat chance for a lot of kids to get out, play with some professional athletes, take lessons from some of the grates. and also have fun. and, of course, the big easter egg roll will be at the center of all of it. >> we're looking at the pichurs here. a booklet, a competition out there for the cover? >> that's right. the first lady basically asked kids all over the country to submit their drawings for the let's go, let's play, let's move theme here. so that's what they got. the winner of the cover is a seventh grader from right here in d.c. someone named brianna. that's quite exciting for her and her family, i'm sure. and then the winner of the poster event, the kids who win the easter egg roll will get a poster at the end of the day. that comes from someone who is just 9 years old. so kids from all across the country really got to

participate and get creative and contribute to this event. and, richard, what's interesting about today is that it's expected to be the largest easter egg roll yet with more than 30,000 people expected from all over the country. people submitted their entries online and basically it was a lottery and they were lucky and they got the tickets to come and attend and they've actually expanded the hours as well. it started at 7:30 this morning and it's going to go until well past 6:00 this evening. >> it's like an easter disney lantd there at the white house. kristen welker is there to watch all of it for us. stand by because we are waiting for the president. and now a look at some other headlines for you. developing now in southern new jersey, 1,000-acre brush fire is threatening about two dozen homes. it began early this morning. planes and helicopters are dropping water. officials are worried about high winds. the national weather service

issued a advisory in that area. second major brush fire in that area in less than one week. jennifer hudson will be in court this week for the trial of willi william. jury selection begins in chicago today. hudson is also listed among the 300 possible witnesses in that case. obesity during pregnancy might increase a mother's chances for having a child with autism. that according to a new study that's among the first to link the two. but the authors say it does not prove obesity causes autism. the study is being push established in the journal pediatrics. i'm sure you noticed it's been warmer than normal this year. and, in fact, it's been record breaking. the u.s. has recorded its warmest march ever. in fact, 15,000 temperature records were broken the entire first quarter of 2012 was also the warmest on record. and that early march tornado

outbreak is being called the year's first billion dollar disaster. a special prosecutor could present her findings to a grand jury tomorrow in the case of trayvon martin. lawyers for george zimmerman say he will tell his side of the story once charges are dismissed but if he is charged do not expect to hear anything until the trial. >> he is does straut over the fact that a life was taken. >> ben is the president of the naacp. ben, always good to see you. you have a town hall meeting today at noon in washington, d.c. what do you hope to accomplish? >> this will be launched from across the country who are concerned about this case, they're concerned about the continued use of racial to profiling in our country and a very concerned about these stand your ground laws. >> now, zimmerman's lawyer say that police did the right thing, you're alluding to the stand your ground law. according to that law police should not have arrested him on. i want to play clip from the

"today" show. >> if you understand the law you understand the rush to judgment was the rush to afterwards complain that he wasn't arrested. the florida statue prohibits law enforcement from making an arrest under sixes where self-defense is claimed and it's not absolutely clear that the use of force was unlawful. if you claim self-defense and some of the forensics supports that it would be improper to make a defense. we heard one of the attorneys for the families say they should arrest him and let him prove in court that he's innocent. it doesn't work that thway in ts country. >> that's an extreme interpretation of this law. the founders who wrote the law and passed down there in florida say this is not what this law was intended to let happen in our society. you know, this law sadly has set up a situation where a -- where it's been severely misinterpreted and misused. we very well may need to get rid

of this law when this is all done. but right now there is more than enough probable cause for mr. zimmerman on the charged, to be brought to justice, to be locked up. and we need to go ahead and move forward the wheels of justice have moved far too slowly in this case. >> we talked about what we know about george zimmerman a at the moment. we look at the way he's been treated. if we don't have the full story should we wait until we do before such statements be made that he be arrested? >> that's the whole purpose of our -- of the justice system. if you're a man you shouldn't kill a boy. we take you to jail. we charge you. and then we sort out the case in court. the reality is that sometimes people are found guilty, sometimes they're not guilty. in each case they're locked up, charged, brought to justis. what we are asking for in this case is for our justice system

to work the way the founders intended it. i'm sure if you went all of the way back to, you know, 1776, you know, and you said to george washington, if a man kills a boy who is walking down the street what would you expect to happen? he would say to you we would expect for him to be locked up, charged, and brought to justice. that's all that we're asking for, for the very most basic rights. >> ben -- >> to be enforced. >> you're running a national organization. watching this stand your ground laws and where they are at across the country. in m. states in the double digits that have this law. what do you think will be the effect after this decision has been made to all of these other states that have these laws in place? >> you know, look, this is raised in very serious questions. the reality is this is a law that goes way beyond the castle doctrine, way beyond self-defense. this is the law that basically seems to have licensed a wild, wild west situation, where, you know, we've seen justifiable

homicides triple on a yearly basis since this law was first put in place about five or six years ago. seven or eight years ago in florida. and that's a real problem. i think, you know, this law will get a much needed review and we will find several states that will go back, change these laws if not get rid of them completely. hopefully the country will also continue to push forward in this question about racial profiling. >> who is behind all of these law, ben, across the country here? >> well, look, look, you know, again and again you see the national rifle association pushing it. and our concern about these laws is that they've licensed a sort of vigilanteism that we see in this case. but again, when you read the law very closely what becomes clear is that if somebody follows you on the street, if they pull out a gun on you, if they attempt to kill you with that gun, you have the right to use equal and

opposite force. that's what the people who wrote these laws say that these laws were intended to do, to frankly empower somebody like trayvon to defend themselves. what this law does not say is if you do all those things to somebody else and then they try to defend themselves with their fists, that you have a right to shoot them. and so, you know, that's the problem here. is that -- >> that's the controversy, ben. >> trayvon had no gun, he had no weapon. >> ben -- the man with the gun had no right to kill him. >> want to ask you. there's many rallies planned for today. depending on how this goes, are you expecting -- what are you expecting to happen today if it's not favored by these groups? >> frankly, what we are -- what we have our eyes on is what happens tomorrow. we expect the grand jury to come back with an indictment. it's been said in our country that the standard of probable cause is so low that a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich

if they wanted to if so, you know,we have con fis dense that we will get the indictment tomorrow that the wheels of justice will move forward. we will see mr. zimmerman charge and brought to justice. breaking news from that hearing in tulsa, oklahoma, to share with you. for the two men accused of the shooting rampage that left three people dead, alvin watts and jake england charged with three counts of first degree murder among other charges, the judge has set their bond at just over $10 million apiece. police have not called the shootings racially motivated but they're described as white and the victims are black. some think england was trying to avenge the death of his father killed two years ago. the president's signature achievement is health care. right now being decided in the highest court. walking back this comment from the president. take a listen. >> ultimately i'm confident that the supreme court will not take

what will be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected congress. >> "washington post" calls writing about this today. e.j., good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> e.j., conservatives were outraged after that statement last week. the first line in your column reads "conservatives are not accustomed to being on the defensive here." what are you saying that now con zer tives are surprised that they have to defend from the comments being made by the president? >> right. i mean, that the conservatives have spent years and years going back to richard nixon, even for some of them back to brown versus board of education in 154, attacking activist judges. all of a sudden activist judging is now a habit of conservatives. and what the president was

saying is the way to deal with the health care law if you don't like it is change it in congress. let congress repeal it. the court shouldn't be the one to repeal it. all he was doing was echoing conservative presidents. ronald reagan, very good writer on the court, found this great statement from ronald reagan as president. he said, in our democracy it is the elected representatives of the people, not unelected judges who make laws. now, why is it okay for ronald reagan to say something like that but not okay if president obama says something like that? i think the conservatives are -- don't like being put on the defensive for the fact that it's their justice, it's their -- >> on their heels, do you think? >> i think they want to have a monopoly on an attack on activist judges. and now activist judging is much more a habit of conservative justices. it should be a big issue in our politics. so i was glad president obama spoke out about it. >> now, e.j., you make the

comparison of the president's position and you say it's moderate compared to fdr who tried to pack the supreme court to get approval for his new deal policieses. what's your thought here? how effective is the president's approach compared to fdr's so far? >> the court packing fight was very unsuccessfully in one sense and fdr, i think, paid a political price for it. but over time, the court actually stopped welcome an activist conservative court. fdr famously criticized those who cry unconstitutional at every effort to better the condition of our people. sounds very familiar. and a new regime, a new injure ris prudence got established where for 80 years the court gave congress broad room to legislate to protect consumers and solve social problems. that's what we are defending right now. that's what i'm defending right now, is that congress should have the freedom to act. and again, if the voters don't

like it, they can throw out the people who voted for that law and put in somebody else and repeal it. >> might we see a return to that time before fdr conservative activist court? >> that's exactly where i think we are now. this court with decisions such as citizens united, decisions knocking down certain environmental protections, i think they are harkening back to that prenew deal court that really made a series of rulings starting in the guilded age before the return of the last century. and we're having the same fight that we had when theodore roosevelt attacked activist conservative courts. we better get used to the new fight rather than pretend that we're still in the old fact where it was conservatives who attacked activist as judges. >> thank you. >> very good to be with you. are we there yet? have we finally come to the end of the road in the sgas prices? industry analysts saying prices at the pump will peak very soon.

but one hospital is drawing the line at the waistline. if you want a job you will have to step on the scale first. citizens medical center in victoria is raising eyebrows over a policy that bans the hiring of overweight applicants. joined now by workplace discrimination attorney, principle with the employment law group. david, first off, folks will ask the question, is this legal? >> good morning, richard. it's not technically illegal but probably should be and dangerously close. the reason for that is that this policy is not ration ali relaald to any business reason the hospital can assert and no job function, either. perfect proof is that while people may be too fat to get hired, once they're hired they won't be terminated if thigh become too fat while they're there. >> david, we did want to point out here that we asked the hospital for a statement but so far they haven't got back to us. but under the policy, it says, applicants are required to have a body mass index of less than

35. 210 pounds for someone who is about 5'5", and 245 pounds for someone who is 5'10". is this legal and they break it down to bmi? >> right. first of all, the bmi is really not a good indicator of whatever the policy the hospital might be asserting. for example, arnold's schwarzenegger bmi is too high but i don't think the hospital would assert he has the physical characteristics necessary to do the job. more importantly, does appearance really count? on tv, for a tv show there's a lert legitimate business reason to have somebody look good, be slender, for example, charlie sheen on "two and a half men" but you wouldn't want charlie sheen to be your nurse, probably. furthermore, while technically not quite illegal yet it probably will be when somebody comes in who has disability or is close to a disability due to their size, that will violate the hospital policies. >> you bring up a point here.

the policy also says that an employee's physique should fit with a represent statiational i free from distraction of hospital patients. that almost seems too subjective. what some people called an ugly law, speaking to your point here. >> it's completely subjective. and that exact type of discrimination is illegal in many places. blatantly illegal in washington, d.c. in fact, it's called the ugly law in washington, d.c. it's illegal in michigan and in some cities in california and should be illegal i've write where. that's exactly the point. it is entirely subjective. how am i to tell whether i meet the physical appearance or not. that's what they need to attend to when they're reading the applications. the hospital's application itself states that you will be subject to a medical exam. is this an invasion of my privacy? is this an appropriate things to do? what is the rational basis for your doing?

>> one state, michigan, has a law like this across the union. david shur, thank you so much for your perspective today. and then treats day after day... well, shoot, that's like checking on your burgers after they're burnt!
