but that's not what we all have in common. we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.

tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

♪ . i'm pretty sure this was dave's suggestion. i'm on board with this one. as we take a look at the airport bright and early this morning, dropping someone off at about 4:00 a.m. >> a lot of people going away for spring break. >> that's what uber is for. let's take a look at your political coverage right now. >> we don't want trump >> big protests you can see it right now outside the trump tower in manhattan about 57th street. the demonstration escalated when police say some people threw water bottles and police used pepper spray on a small group. there were arrests as well. meanwhile, this is what happened in arizona. protesters upset over trump

immigration stance tried to block a roadway. there were arrests in arizona. donald trump keeps racking up the delegates. he doesn't have the magic number. it's not all clinton'sed. all of a sudden our state are relevant at this point. pennsylvania delaware are primaries, we're getting candidates in our neck of the woods. what do you make of this trend? thousands of people have decided to switch parties almost 50,000 in pennsylvania alone. democratics have gone republican since the start of the new year? why is that, we're bringing in bill rosenberg from drexel university. thanks for coming in. >> good morning. >> what do you believing is hopping? are these people who want to vote for or against trump. >> my hunch is if we look at history, they're probably more likely to be voting against trump. in fact, in the elect with john mi cane, democratics and independents crossed over and voted in the republican primary and voted for mccane.

>> who do you think many of these people who are democratics initially are going to be able to vote in the primary and presumably can switch back. who do you think they're going to be voting for? is this a protest vote where they will go with kasich? cruz? what do you believe. >> i think that it's not clear. i haven't seen any good research that shows this. but i would assume that it's going to include people that are going to go and vote for both candidates. it doesn't sound like it's a coordinated effort. there's been no leak of a story of major effort. but the reality we have this slide toward trump winning the nomination. republican in general at the establishment level are against him, he still is holding the steering wheel on this car. >> kasich happened to come to our neck of the woods at villanova this week. we get major candidates coming

to try to campaign because normally we become irrelevant. it's not like we're super tuesday or saturday. all of a sudden, we're in play, what do you believe, about that. >> i believe a lot of the media hype is trump is ahead. not only do we have pennsylvania and delaware. we also have california. which dwarf all of the other states in terms of the number of delegates. we have a process that's settle up. front end loads and allows for fast break for better known candidates but at the end of the day we to have these breaks toward the end where large states can still weigh in and there is the possibility that the vote may break differently if there's a lot of strategic voting. not only of voters but also of the way the party tries to create perhaps a broke convention >> it's going to be interesting. what a wild ride. bill rosenberg from drexel university thank you so much for joining us this morning. let us know, would you

switch parties in order to vote for or against someone? with strategiry as the word is? it is 7:27. let us know. fox 29 good day. we'll be right back. w??ççóo?óñçoñçwwññçñç

bosses claimed they were concerned that kennedy would turn violent. that's why at any fired him. a judge disagreed with it and ordered the restaurant to post signs acknowledging that it's social media rules were illegal and he had won. on our facebook page, you guys responded sean rotate, if the man want to complain about his job, let him as long it's not slantderring, they should be proactive and take it as constructive criticism. let's take a look at this. attorney heather hasn't son is with us. good morning. >> essentially, you can slam your employer on social media and they can't to anything about it? >> you can slam them. you can't slander them. sean is right in that respect. the thing is you're allowed to, for example, complain about your wages, complain about the way you're treated. that's part of america. you can rise up join with your fellow workers and you can actually strike against your employer. so the courts give employees wide berth in this direction, they allow employees to use social media to join together and say things about their employers they may not otherwise

be able to say. >> now, it's interesting because it raises that question of policy versus laws, because you're private employer now they can't have a policy then that violates the law? >> that is correct. so they can have policy control your social media in certain ways. they have to be very careful about the wording of it. because as you saw with the case. the court said that was too broad. you're allowed to say things against your employer that may be considered disparaging. what you can't do is make personal complaints about your employer, personal to them. you can't bully fellow workers. you can't be hostile to fellow workers. there's a fine line for employers and employees >> does this open up a whole new can of worms, we seen a lot of these cases where employers have published employees for comments they made on social media. street? >> kind of define just how far it can go >> we're seeing the courts give more and more leeway to the employees. we've seen these cases and slowly but surely the courts are pull back on the employer's

control over what the employees post. in today's day and age, the way we communicate is often on social media. the courts are going to allow people to be free in their communications up to the point where it's bullying, true harassment, where it's using the employer's -- internet protected stuff. that type of thing is not going to be allowed, otherwise, everything is fair game. >> i see it now, people picking up their phone about their employers right now >> it's a big new world and they are allowed to use that information, they can't share certain things, you have to be careful and know your policy. >> always a pleasure. have a good one. the time is 7:38. as a parent, when your kids get their license, it is such a time of worry because we're concerned they are texting on the phone, in the car with their friend, it can can be such a situation. but there is something that can give you a piece of mind. this is really cool. new technology. you're going i want to see
