and that keeps us from worrying so much. >> reporter: to go through what rick walker went through and come out of it with a loving and generous heart. you know you're dealing with a very remarkable man indeed. >> the year after walker was released another man pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for the crime. walker had been convicted of committing. walker was awarded $2.75 million to settle a wrongful imprisonment lawsuit he filed against santa clara county and other agencies involved in his case. when we caught up with him last month he was still working at the garage. he says he's thinking about retiring to a home he built in clear lake. the house has room for a repair shop so he says he plans to tinker on cars in the front of the house and plans to go fishing from the back of the side. >>> still to come. >> a former fbi agent talks about jeronimo pratt. >> i thought i was going to work till i died until that man was freed. >>> and later she saw her client exonerated. what happened after he was released from prison. at subway, a great meal starts with a great sandwich on the n

it might be scott walker, it might be chris christie, it might be rand paul. i think it might be rickerry. he put out a lot of -- put out a long list of people supporting him. >> you just mentioned scott walker. full-court press, doing all kinds of stuff. he wants to borrow money for roads, cut spending to public universities, to shell out hundreds of millions of dollars on a new basketball arena. his office tried to edit the mission statement for the university of wisconsin. these are all controversial things. he is now getting a lot of scrutiny. my question to you is is walker's record in wisconsin going to be a positive or negative in winning the republican nomination? >> these are all things part of his budget release this week. the local state press is scrutinizing all his presidential stuff. scott walker, you are now out there gallivanting in iowa and elsewhere. i think his record will be scrutinized. there are some successes to it to be sure. but the release of the budget and the fact they were tone deaf about it his staff is going to have a lot of work to do to make this a net

walker claimed his own long battle with public employees unions prepared him to face isis. >> i can take on 100,000 protesters, i can do the same across the world. >> late thursday former tex techgovernor rick said walker's comparison was a mistake. >> this is the face of evil. to try to make the relationship between them and the unions is inappropriate. >> with all the fire of a texas barbecue -- >> we could have had hillary here. but we couldn't find a foreign nation to foot the bill. >> ted cruz turned up the heat on hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton embodies the corruption of washington. >> conservatives seized on the washington post report than seven foreign governments donated millions of dollars to the clinton foundation while hillary clinton served as secretary of state. former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina called out clinton several times. >> she tweets about women's rights in this country and takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human rights. >> vying for the support of these active conservatives is a huge republican field. new jersey governor chris christie trailing in early fund-raising took a jab at jeb bush. >> if what happens is if the elites in w

let me play what former governor rick perry said about mr. walker's comments. let's play that. >> trying to make the connection between isis and unions was a mistake, these are americans. we are talking about people in the case of isis who are beheading individuals and committing heinous crimes. this is the face of evil. to try to make the relationship between them and the unions is inappropriate. >> benjy, what else are we hearing from republicans? is rick perry representing a large number of people with his criticism? >> i don't know if he is representing a large number of people but he's certainly not the only one. national review a very conservative publication had a piece slamming walker for the remarks, saying they were inappropriate comparison. so there definitely is room for criticism on the right here. it is worth noting it is pretty unusual for a republican to attack unions so hard that conservative republicans attacked them for it you have to go out of your way. >> absolutely. his battle with the unions in wisconsin made headlines for some time now,

rick santorum has run before. three freshman senators in rand paul, cruz and marco rubio. john kasich might get into this. scott walker is leaning pretty far forward. some others i'm for getting. rick perry is running for a second time. very credible field. does anyone else benefit here? i would put walker forward. he's acceptable to the tea party and the establishment. if you have three big names on the establishment side. fair point? >> absolutely. i completely agree. i think you see that in some of the people that are around him. he's hired rick wiley. he's hired some other people that were mitt people. i think that he's really building. he is coming up right now. walker is so hot right now i guess is how i would say it. >> does it hurt rubio in the sense that rubio's thing was if you've got a romney/bush race he can run as the younger guy and come through. what as romney says next generation. >> i thought rubio's play was a generational play. but also vs mitt, christie and jeb in the race would have let rubio run as a conservative. and say i'm not the establishment guy that you think those guys are. this will crea

but will -- i will have an opportunity, you have ted cruz marco rubio, jeb bush scott walker, rick perrys see, rick santorum donald trump. tell us why this is so important i look at this as post-labor day. of this is the beginning. >> this is where it starts, sean. what is great for accidents come interesting around the country is that they're going to hear from the next president of the united states because i'm bull wrish to stop chances from picking up a third win. >> i agree. people ask me who do you want? i have not decided i'm looking for the most-conservative candidate because conservative solutions work with an inspiring vision to solve nation's problems, that can articulate that vision with passion, and win. that is what i'm looking for. >> yes. that is right. i mean we've been talking about the fact we have a really good and deep bunch. almost everyone we've been talking about is running. i think these activists are going to hear the pitch and it's going to have a big impact on what happens. >> i think i'm going to be interviewing some of the candidates in the round on stage, o

texas governor rick perry, wisconsin governor scott walker and florida senator marco rubio all struck hawkish tones in their remarks. later today former florida governor jeb bush and kentucky senator rand paul will address the crowd there at cpac. >>> time for a final check on the forecast. amelia? >> march begins on sunday and it is not going to feel like it at all. it's going to be -- >> i bet it won't. not the way we want it to feel. >> no exactly. a high today of 37 in washington. low 30s in the suburbs. tomorrow it's dry, it's cold again. a high of 36. we start off dry on sunday barbara, by the late afternoon and evening hours a wintry mix could impact the area. maybe delays potentially monday morning. >> more on this story. talking about this. asked once in the news kavrtcast what color is that dress? some say blue with black lace others say a white dress and gold lace. in fact the dress is blue and black. wired.com has a scientific explanation why people can't agree on the color. it what do do with how we see and interpret colors during different times of the day. we asked and

walker did well in that poll. i was struck most by the fact that the two past winners of the iowa caucus was mike huckabee, rick santorumneither one doing well in iowa at all. if you added them up together, they still were short of where scott walker was in the poll. those guys us a tensably should be leading in the iowa poll in the iowa caucuses because they're well known in iowa. the fact they're doing so poorly there, not great. the iowa race is wide open for republicans. >> bad sign for them. overlooked is rick perry. i'm higher on his chances than a lot of people. he's building a good staff. he's out there being aggressive on media and on money. again i say, jeb bush will raise the most money for the republicans by a lot, i asked all the republicans, keep your eye on the ball, the ball is a giant piggy bank. who's going to raise the second most? it might be scott walker, it might be chris christie, it might be rand paul but if you count superpact, it might be rick perry and that's a big deal and he put out a long list of people supporting him to raise money. watch rick perry and money. >> nobody has paid attention

. >> we've got governors former governors, rick perry, maybe kasich, scott walker looks more like he'srs cruz -- >> bobby jindal. >> another one. good point. senators cruz, rand paul, marco rubio. and former senators like rick santorum former governor mike huckabee. these are all powerful men and some in very pivotal states. who do you think, you know coming out of the gate scott walker looks good on paper. seems to be polling pretty well. marco rubio seems to have been coming up. rand paul had some good numbers early on. ted cruz is just getting started. who do you think -- you guess some of them -- some will pop and some won't. how do we -- who do you think? >> well, we don't know now. i can tell you where i think the field is today, but i will tell you this, the nature of the field is going to change five or six times between now and next february when they begin voting. and the front runner is going to change more than that. but i think the field is basically two groups of candidates. the candidates who appear to have the ability to do things on a national basis and to be durable a

but scott walker did raise eyebrows with those comments. i asked texas, former texas governor rickry about scott walker's comments yesterday. >> trying to make the connection between isis and unions was a mistake. i mean these are americans. we're talking about people in the case of isis who are beheading individuals and committing heinous crimes. this is the face of evil and to try to make the relationship between them and the unions is inappropriate. >> reporter: so there you heard him say that that connection that walker made was inappropriate. we should note that walker camp was quick to clean up lis remarks, putting out a statement saying he didn't intend to compare isis to americans rather just emphasize he would offer strong leadership. >> casey, thank you so very much. good to see you. >>> i want to talk more about cpac and real business going on in washington with the homeland security funding clock officially about to run out. there you see him. the moderator of "meet the press." chuck todd. amigo, how are you? >> good, my friend. what's going on? >> rick perry taking on

it may not necessarily have to come in first but it could give real boost to scott walker potentially, or maybe rick walker could probably take a real boost from this. when you look at the way he's polling right now, it looks like they're getting close to announcing the straw poll. if you look where he is right now without having been out on this invisible campaign trail too long he already in the latest quinnipiac poll leads3ry8s in iowa by double digits. he's got 25% there. a lot of that could be attributed to the fact that wisconsin and iowa are next door to each other. butbk7m walker told me in andy neighbors in iowa are looking at what he's doing in wisconsin. they look at him as a guy who gets things done. he's willing to zw fight, and by and large, when he takes on those fights he wins. andmj z iowans really like someone like that. >> john, back to your point if> yeah. at least for a little while. don'th=ñ forget, there's a long time between now and the first caucus

scott walker is learning that pretty quickly. rick perry was, speaking of comments in the context much his own bid in 2012 where he had to get up there and learn that lesson really fast. i think more broadly one of the most interesting things i've been learning from behind-the-scenes at cpac a lot of the other campaigns and operatives not just perry but other conservative candidates are focused on walker and that can be a good spot in terms of polling and fundraising but a tough place to be because the knives are out four. >> jeb bush speaks at 1:30. that will be watched by the national media and a lot of people inside that auditorium. what are we expecting from jeb? >> reporter: everyone around jeb bush has been pretty protective. got a lot of feedback. if you make any comments or reporting on what this will look like for him. i think there are a lot of land mines for him potentially. i think that at this point success looks like getting through it without encountering a major problem. for bush everybody expects to see something alon

and it turns out jeb bush, scott walker, rand paul, rick perry, bobby jindal and marco rubio were allani, yet not a potential democratic candidate were not asked about it, not hillary, vice president biden, martin o'malley bernie sanders or elizabeth warren. the rnc is crying double standard and they believe the numbers support this. martha? >> trace, thank you very much. joining us with more on this, our fox news politic editor, and fox news contributor, welcome, guys. >> good to be with you. >> have at it. what do you think? >> well, look one thing we should be clear about, there isn't much of a democratic primary to cover. >> no there isn't. >> it's basically covering a shotgun wedding between hillary clinton and her party and it's not a pretty sight. but even accounting for that, even allowing for the fact that there's just more news and more interest on the republican side this cycle even with that obviously this is out of whack. and it's always out of whack. this is not a new thing. what's new here is data that actually supports in realtime with comparable things, which is maybe

rand paul marco rubio, and texas governor rick perry is there as well. scott walkeralk today a standing-only room and chris christie has been struggling in the polls. christie sat down with conservative tack show host and took swings at the other candidates and the media for publishing articles about the governor that don't favor him. >> when you do things like i did of taking out the special interest groups they want to kill you. that is what they do. here is the bad news. here i am. i am standing and going to continue to do it. i wake up knowing how to fight were the people of my state. and i don't care what they write in the new york times. they can keep it. i don't subscribe by the way >> and when asked about where all of this momentum may have gone the governor had this answer: >> you are low in a bunch of polls. how do you overcome that? >> is the election next week? i don't know. >> this is interesting to me. you have to love chris christie. he doesn't care. he is not a favorite of a lot of conservatives. they have questions on gun control and respect to obama

i would look at walker and rubio, and even rick perry. >> i'm not hearing you mention governor christieldn't say it's been the most successful for him. he did a really tough interview yesterday on the cpac stage and he was basically asked why aren't you could go well in çq%Ñwóçó polls-what decent people like you? he did a good job but hasn't been his shining moment so far. >> thank you for coming in. it's a big event, and it continues this afternoon. we'll be covering it. thank you very much. >>> the notorious islamic state executioner, "jihadi john," unmasked and the united states is losing the online fight against the savages. let's take a look at your credit. >>i know i have a 786 fico score, thanks to all the tools and help on experian.com. so how are we going to sweeten this deal? floor mats... clear coats... >>you're getting warmer... leather seats... >>and this... my wife bought me that. get your credit swagger on. become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian. fico scores are used in 90% of credit decisions. there's nothing more roma

rick perry. yesterday cpac heard from the texas senator ted cruz scott walker and sarah palin along with new jerseyr chris christie. >> he told the interviewer not to count him out as a possible candidate for president. he has drawn low polling numbers in the united states so far and has not raised as much money as other potential candidates. but christie told the audience at the conference while some of those other candidates may be more popular in washington he has the unique appeal to the voters. >>> and a newspaper article is stirring controversial at the university of delaware that has the school's president and professors squaring off. earlier this month president patrick harper wrote an op-ed to say, smart students are going online to find innovative less expensive degree paths. then he went on to say it is too teacher-centric. now unions that represent the professors are pushing back. in a statement to the news journal, they accuse hartger of being dismissive and call his views the front of the mission for education. >>> and after the snowy weather last weekend, the mummers parade is all se

scott walker, rick perry, mike huckabee. you go down the line they came out strongly and said vaccines are one of the greatest parts of human progress in the last 50 60 years. the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. it's not that hard. you look at the chart of how many people had measles, how many people died. skyrockets down. and so in this day and age to hear someone come out and say that and then christie backtracked on it, no we think measles, that vaccine is good but he was eluding to the fact that perhaps there are other vaccines that we need to be more careful with which he did not provide any evidence for. if it's a political strategy it's an odd one, i think. if he feels like he's appealing to a group that might doubt vaccine or doubt government being in our lives, perhaps that is what it was. >> and rand paul saying what rand paul said again as a doctor is very surprising but this sort of reminds me willie, of the flourite debates in '50s and '60s, that fluoride being put in the water would cause all of these t

many state legislators, many of the country's best governors, rick scott of florida perry of texas, bobby begin call of louisiana, scott walker in wisconsin and the good news is candidates who take the pledge keep the pledge because it's a written commitment to you that as a voter in that person's state or district, i won't raise your taxes. it's a promise that when a problem comes up the politician says i'm going to govern, i'm going to reform government. i'm not going to take the failures of government and raise your taxes to pay for them. that's off the table and that's what republicans collectively told obama in 2010, we're not raising taxes to pay for your mistakes. we're going to correct and reform your overspending and that's how spending came from 24%. this is not frequently talked about. it's one of the successes of the last six years, spending down from 24% of the economy down to 20% because of the sequester, because of the budget control act, and obama, surprise, surprise wants to poke a hole in that so he can go back to the failed policies of raising taxes rather than reforming government. host: again, that websit

walker is under fire this week for saying at c pac that he's equipped to take on isis if it he becomes president because he took on union protesters in wisconsin. former tk governor rickerry whacked him hard for that in an interview here. walker told me he wasn't equating unions with isis he was talking about the importance of leadership. >> some people ms. took that, i don't think the people in the hall did, but others did as i was comparing the unions to isis. no way no how. i have been tested under fire. i have had incredible circumstances to deal with and i persevered with each of those keeping the promises i made to the hard working people of my state. if given the chance if if i chose to run i would make that same case to the american people. >> reporter: walker told the crowd here that the most important foreign policy decision that president ronald reagan made was firing the air traffic controllers because that showed the world that when he said something he meant business. walker has also been taking meet from the media for ducking questions about evolution and whether president obama is a christian. i asked governor walker about that. >> some people say scot
