i'm so thankful mike tobin is in a shelter.here and say, people, you need to take shelter, but if we don't have our own reporters listening to me it's time to reevaluate. i'm glad he's in the shelter. i think within the next 10 minutes mike tobin will hear those sirens go off again. we are dealing with the potential for significant damage across portions of the ohio and tennessee river valley. a couple of these watches are called particularly dangerous situations. that's the national weather service storms predictions center saying the ingredient are coming together for a large long-lasting tornado outbreak that could go through the overnight. these regions across tennessee, kentucky, just east of the knoxville area, then north of bristol. let's look at mount pleasant. they just issued a tornado warning for this area. there is harrisburg. this supercell that they just issued a tornado on very good radar returns here. it's looking really healthy. you can start to seat formation of a hook echo. they put a tornado warning on that

tobin smith. gary b smith. jonas max ferris. will soaring prices take the fuel out of the recovery. >> yes, a good chance bringing us back to a double dip recession. you talk about this, if goes is $5 a gallon national average, a good chance what's happening with the middle east right now we could see, you know, not only the recovery end, but what we're going to see is people driving to and from work. i drive a car and this is going to hurt me. every good i buy is transported from the manufacturer to the retailer. and passed on to me. when i go to the store, i'll buy something, higher than a few months ago and the bigger thing, confidence, if i walk by a big screen, and see gas at $5 then i'm not buying anything. >> brenda: gary b. you're he not sure about that. basically everybody continues to spend even if they're spending on gas, but fuel, basically the economy, doesn't it? >> precisely, brenda. two points, i guess, one the credit suisse did a study, if gas went up another 50 cents it takes about 50 billion out of the economy

mike tobin with more on capitol hill.democrats say about defeating this measure today? >> well, shep, they were arguing all day and throughout the course of this week that essentially this measure would prevent some women from getting contraception. after the vote, a leading female democrat spoke out. >> today on the floor of the senate, we defeated an amendment that would have historically taken away something that women in this country have counted on for decades. and that's the ability to make their own health care choices in the privacy of their homes. >> vice president biden spoke today about the initial contraception rule offered by the administration and said, quote: it got screwed up in the first iteration. we expect a new rule to be offered by the administration soon, shep? >> shepard: with a blinder to the political side of this for the purposes of this discussion only, the republic side is saying that they are fighting for religious freedom. what's their argument? >> well, they are saying that essentially this

. >> gary b smith, tobin smith. jonas max ferris along with bob froehlich and mike norman. bob, this week alone. announcing two million dollars in new spending plans, with the economy starting to add jobs again, as stimulus dries up. is more spending the answer? >> no, absolutely not. i mean, i think the reason why we're finally seeing some positive job growth is we don't have the stimulus, so, the government needs to sort of get out of the way and let corporations do what they do best. and that's make money and create jobs and plus, brenda, they don't even have the money for another stimulus. look at in five years, our debt has gone from 5 trillion to 10 trillion and how can you be talking about a stimulus and think about short-term. so far this year, since the budget season started, we have spent 1.5 trillion, and took in 869 billion. oh, my gosh, we're spending twice the amount that we're taking in, how can they even be thinking about talking about more stimulus and we don't need it. i think it'd be a huge mistake and do nothing, but help the job market. >> gary b. what

mike tobin in henryville, indiana. check in with mike tobin, first. >> rick, everywhere is a profound scene of destruction. this house the roof the house was blown off. the location is right across the street from the henryville high school where students were sheltering in place. the local emergency authorities say this is proof that the air early warning system worked because of all of the people sheltering in the high school only one person was killed. i want to show you amateur video out of pe pekin indiana where you can see the funnel cloud forming in the sky and reaching its fury and reaching down toward the earth and cutting its path of destruction. we now know from the national weather service debris was pulled some 5,000 feet in the air before it was deposited. we also know as the tornado was working its way along the ground four people on that particular scene were are killed. marysville indiana. wiped out an entire town. back out here live you can see the power crews restoring power engaged in what is now th

mike tobin. he will be here all week. thank you, mike.on: note right has been good for the town and i hope tobin spend a lot of money for the lunch for the crew while he is there it has been a little economic boom in that town. jenna: good point. they will take it i'm sure. jon: i'm sure they will. there are new concerns over the government's latest moves to keep us safe. under new guidelines counterterrorism officials can keep data on americans and legal residents for up to five years! used to be it was only six months. the new rules meant to help officials do a better job tracking down terror suspects. the critics worry it comes at a cost of individual rights and privacy. monica crowley, raid show talk show host and fox news contributor. julie roginsky, former communication direct for for senator jon corzine. also a fox news contributor. julie, you don't think much of these new regulations. why? >> i know you haven't read "the hunger games" like jenna and i have. jenna: thank you, girl. >> a little similar. a little big brother. look i

mike tobin is live there in harrisburg, illinois. >>reporter: heartbreaking is the words used to describe. you can see something like this everywhere, a delivery truck. but we are not in the parking lot. this is the show roof of an alliance store. the washer and dryer. a baseball. this came from a sporting goods store part of this strip mall that really didn't stand a chance in the 170 miles per hour wind. the mayor of this town says the priority is with getting the people who have been displaced getting them a roof. also, restoring the infrastructure, getting the power working again, getting businesses open. if you look off in the distance you can see some of the power crews working to restore the power line and you can see a lot of people digging through the debris working on a deadline with blue skies overhead, more bad weather is forecasting they are trying to get that done. also, off in the distance you can see standing houses, the destruction stops and what it looks like, this is a tornado to bounced along, it came, made a dire

mike tobin with the news live in west liberty, kentucky tonight.how us what's there, mike. >> well, i will tell you, shepard, when those tornadoes touched down, they spared absolutely nothing. this was a calm neighborhood. children played here on the street. children were raised in that home behind me here. the care-free country nature of this neighborhood changed in an instant when a tornado appeared on the bluff. we have shown you main street now cluttered with debris from all of the different buildings. the mayor here says there wasn't a single structure spared. some 8300 structures in all sustained severe damage. they are all probably destroyed, shep. >> shepard: have people there been able to make any progress in the clean up efforts? >> you know, progress is hard to define this early in the game. but some temporary municipal offices have been set up. so people can get some basic city services restored or at least they have got someone to ask questions. we have seen a lot of people returning to their homes to go through their belongings, salva

all about the extent of the damage sustained there and throughout the entire state our very own mike tobin. mike? >> hi, sean. it's remarkable with the intensity of funnel clouds the fact that you can approach one of these strike zones and not think that the damage is that bad. you see a lot of water and see a lot of emergency vehicles until you get right here to the bulls eye. a lot of damage. i'm looking at the damage to a building that had the roof torn off it appears to be a high school and one of the buildings adjacent. trees torn down. the file lage is largely gone because we are still winter. the trees are actually continue -- except for the trees that are standing. >> sean: i think we lost mike tobin as can you hear we are just telling new this report tonight that in fact an entire town we believe in indiana has, in fact, been decimated and as we have more word tonight we will continue to bring the very latest on the tornadoes and reports of damage and death as that toll continues to climb. and meanwhile tonight, we are only one day removed from the tragic death of our friend andre

mike tobin with the news live in chicago. stuff for police who don't want things recorded now isn't it, mike? >> it can be and some illinois lawmakers are working fast to get this law off of the books, shepard. the deadline they're working toward is late may when the nato summit comes to chicago. strongs of protesters are expected to show up. they are revved to protest. when they scrap with police they generally record everything there is serious consequences of recording audio of the police in illinois. the whole thing has a potential to spiral out of control. >> some people have cell phones with cameras. out in a public place and observing a police officer in action and they take out their cell phone and happen to record that officer, that happens to be a class one felony that carries with it a 15 year penalty. >> circuit judge just ruled that the law is unconstitutional that sent it to the state supreme court. before it goes to the supreme court it's still on the books. at least one of the local prosecutors here in cook co

back to you in new york. >> kelly: mike tobin, we thank you for that report. please stay safe as you continue to get information for us, and main thing, jamie, the governor stating when things are at their worst, people are at their best, an amazing statement to make. >> jamie: many communities have been completely destroyed. let's take a look at alabama the authorities are reporting the first death in that state. and violent twisters, too too familiar for some, the tornados april of last year and yesterday's storm cutting the exact same path, rips aparts homes and lives just rebuilt. such a sad story to report. elizabeth is joining us live from harvest, alabama. who could forget the devastation last go round, elizabeth. what are you seeing today? >> jamie, we're really seeing people who are experiencing the most extreme case of deja vu, these people spent the past 11 months doing everything they can to rebuild as quickly as possible and that home you're looking at is the home of brittany robbins, her childhood home and now lives next door. >> brandy. i'm sorr

mike tobin is live in the hard hit area in kentucky and the late breaking news headline, we have lostngel. >> reporter: yeah, and little angel babcock, the girl found alone in a field separated from her family, we have learned that she has been taken off life support, she had some very severe injuries, including head injuries, and shortly after she was taken off life support, she succumbed to her injuries. she now joins her motherer, father, brother, and sister who perished in an instant when that ef-4 tornado came upon them, harris. >> harris: you know, we ask this question whenever disaster strikes like this, how are people coping and i know there's a lot of support out there. >> you know, it's really remarkable, harris, to he see people pulling together, particularly he we noticed out here in east bernstadt kentucky, family and friends were putting a tarp on the roof. his home is no longer structur structurally sound, but wanted to protect it. and this is where he hid and despite losing the house says he feels lucky. >> i thought it was all over. >> really? i bet you did. >> yeah.

>> brenda: tobin, your prediction. >> doritos, yum brands making the tacos at taco bell with the doritos, going to be a killer. >> brenda: jonas bull or bear. >> 25%. >> i think a dorito based taco before it would drive the stock higher-- >> neil, take it away. >> neil: by now, you know the good news, jobs are picking up. 227,000 more from last month and also by now, you know the bad news, gas prices are also picking up this month. so, just as we're feeling pumped about the recovery, glad to have you, i'm neil cavuto. to ben stein, dagen mcdowell along with adam lashinsky and charles payne, which needs what? >> you know, the jobs number is what it is and i think we've been conditioned and gone over it before. cheering the immedia cheering-- with the jobs reports, real wages are not moving and adjusted for inflation, and plummeting, i think that's the scary thing. i don't hear anyone talking about gdp and tepid news and the danger signs are there. >> gas prices are a threat and issues on the campaign trail. what we're worrying about long run, we're seeing higher highs and lower lows in te

mike tobin, in kentucky for us. you heard mr.a survivor, speaking very true words, can't replace his life. he got out thereof with that. >> gregg: as if the deadly tornadoes were not bad enough, now folks in some of those areas will be dealing with snow and cold. we go live to the fox extreme weather center. and this is just going to compound the problem. >> this is going to slow down the cleanup efforts. the storm system produced the severe thunderstorms and now we are looking at a brig temperature drop. you can see the 24-hour temperature drop, up to 14 degrees below the original temperature before that front moved through. some areas saw more drastic changes, with temperatures dropping more than 20 degrees. i want to point out in the long term, the milder air that is in place in the central plains and out west will head east. so as we head into mid-week, we will be looking at warmer temperatures over the tornado relief efforts. but right now, there are chilly temperatures around freezing across indian aken tucky and through te

india, anyone who tells you different is lying like one of tobin's persian rugs. >> thank you for calling me a liar, and the president could do an executive orders than-- >> when she says a liar, a life joke and supposed to laugh. i know, gary b, you're not laughing i, bet because you don't agree with her facts. >> well, she has the facts right. she doesn't have the rational right until we make the arguments. most increase on drilling came from land that's not under the federal purview, it's either under private domain or it's under the states. so, the current administration cannot claim that because of their actions they've increased drilling. the other more important fact is that when george bush took office, we were reliant, 44% on foreign oil. under his watch that dropped to about 32%, under obama's watch. even though all of this increased drilling, it's like my gosh, we're more energy independent, it's gone back up to 40%. so, if, you know, the fact is that we're doing all of this great drilling, then we're not drilling enough and the industry experts say, like toby, if we started op

tobin smith. jonas max ferris, along with todd and susan ott. >> todd, sticker shock is go to he bet worse. >> got that right. food costs are up. and some economists are predicting 25% increases just this year alone. gas is up 6%, it continues to rise, and it's not going to stop soon. all of us need to be prepared and the economy, the global economy is at stake right now. because of the higher prices. >> gary b. you're seeing the same sticker shock, does it worry you as much? >> no, and no. to be dtsdz. >> what do you really think? >> well, look, look, if everything that we, you know, every dollar that he we made was spent on either food or gasoline, i'd be in todd's corner. but you know, we spend our basket of spending is on a lot of things, it's on electricity, it's on natural gas. it's on dining out, for example, and overall, inflation, even though we've been talking about it constantly is still under 3%. as far as gasoline, i'll acknowledge, todd's point it's up 7%, but inflation adjusted, we'

mike tobin live in clintonville, wisconsin.e on iters mystery solved or not. we'll talk to a seismologist to see whether or not quakes are to blame. martha: you know the music. that means we're back to election news. this is a big one this morning. rick santorum gotten a lot of attention with this comment about his rival mitt romney. listen. >> you win by giving people a choice. you win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who is just would be a little different than the person in there. if it is only a little different, stay with what we have instead of taking a risk what might be the etch-a-sketch candidate for the future. martha: hmm. a lot of stewing over that comment today. doug schoen joins me now, former pollster of president bill clinton. fox news contributor. and for the o'connell. former campaign advisor to john mccain's presidential campaign and chairman of the civic forum presidential action committee. >> thank you. martha: get your initial reaction. how bad is what

mike tobin has more from east bernstad kentucky. >> reporter: as residents continued to assess the heavyamage, this is one of the latest victims. a 15 -month-old indiana toddler died today. the victim of the same tornado that killed her parents and two siblings. angel babcock was found alone on a field. the little girl passed away after her grieving extended family turned off her life support. >>> through ohio and alabama and georgia, homes and businesses were crushed. cars and buses were tossed about. indiana suffered severe damage but was still able to host mass for a full house sunday. >> we came over the hill and saw the that the steeple was still here. so we knew that the church was still here. to us that was a symbol. >> i know a lot of people made courageous decisions at an instant of time to save lives, so we're thankful for that. >> reporter: here in east burnstad kentucky, residents say this was the first time that didn't bounce along the mountains, it bounced through the hillsides. this tornado has been declared an ef3. >>> for more on those deadly tornadoes you can log on to

the bulls and bears this week, gary b smith, tobin smith. jonas max ferris along with john and david mercer, welcome to everybody. gary b, the highest combined tax rate, will that lead to more unemployment. >> we'll soon be number one in unemployment if it continues. look, if it says that higher corporate tax rates don't affect unemployment they've never worked in business at all. here is what happens, we've already seen this, corporate tax rates remain high. what are companies doing in this day of mobility, they're outsourcing, they're relocating and expanding faster in foreign countries than they would over here. they're hiring less people because a higher corporate tax rate goes right to retained earnings. they have less money to hire people. if you don't believe it, just look what's happening with the the states, brenda. we've seen states that have lower tax rates and attracting business and talked about this last week, as a matter of fact. and to indiana, i believe, that has lower tax rates and attracting businesses from other states wi

. >> in an interview with fox news, mike tobin in grand rammeds, rick santorum welcomed support of, quoteuote, reagan democrats driven by family values and blue collar issues. nearly 1 million people voted in michigan. 9% called themselves democrat. of these, santorum won 53%. roughly three times mitt romney's share. among those who call themselves liberal or somewhat liberal santorum won by 11 points. among those who strongly oppose the tea party. santorum somehow crushed romney 45 to 29%. although the former pennsylvania senator made opposition to abortion a signature issue he carried 24% of voters who said abortion should be legal in all or most cases. these clearly are not reagan democrats. the romney campaign responded with a web video speculating that organized labor and the obama re-election team worked behind the scenes to undermine romney's success in michigan. others saw a similar effort though no one could produce proof of an effort. strange exit polling data led some campaign veterans to recall the dirty trick that richard nixon's committee to re-elect the president played on
