the latest way to get around a suit that makes you fly. >> i have to actually get that. >> i would leave my jet pack home if i could afford the wings. "fox & friends" flies to you right about now. >> look, up in the air, it's aa bird, it's a plane, it's mitt romney getting a gigantic win last night in illinois with near all the precincts reporting mitt romney 47%. rick santorum trailing by double digits at 35%. but ron paul and newt gingrich both still in it at less than 10%. >> well, juliet huddy, of course, in for gretchen, as you can see, newt and ron paul didn't even compete there. ron paul went to "the tonight show" and newt gingrich went to louisiana but in the big story, mitt romney picks up a bunch of delegates. he picked up 41 delegates for a grand total of 563. why is that important? this became a battleground state after mitt romney dropped two states last week and you see 263 for rick santorum. so he picked up 10. wasn't eligible for 10 because he wasn't cleared there. >> he wasn't going after his opponents. he's actually going after the big guy who may be his opponent if he is indeed going to be the presidential candidate for her the g.o.p. side. listen to what mitt romney has to say about president obama. >> we once built an interstate highway system and the hoover dam and now we can't even build a pipeline. i mean, we once led the world in manufacturing, in exports, investment. today we lead the world in lawsuits. you know, when we replace a law professor with a conservative businessman as president, that's going to end. >> you know, one of the criticisms of mitt romney in the past has been he doesn't really sound like he's got a vision for the future. last night, if you listened to his speech, it was on during the sean hannity program, he sounds like he's got a vision for the future. and the other thing is rick santorum has said for a while if i can just get -- if it can just be a two man race, me and mitt romney where everybody is looking at me and mitt romney, i can beat him. you know what? in illinois it was pretty much rick santorum and mitt romney because newt gingrich and also ron paul didn't really play there. >> i'll factor something else in. for the longest time, you thought mitt romney's camp wanted newt gingrich to stick around. now, i don't think so. their race to get 1,044 delegates, rick santorum decided to give his speech last night in pennsylvania where there was a standing room only crowd. there's a huge room for his overflow even though we're not seeing a pennsylvania primary until april 21st or 27th, he decided to go there. listen. >> this is election about fundamental and foundational things. this is election about not who's the best person to manage washington or manage the economy. we don't need a manager. we need somebody who is going to pull up government from the roots and do something to liberate the private sector in america. that's what we need! >> so now, he, mr. santorum is banking on louisiana. >> i was going to say saturday. >> very nice of you. >> so that is his hope. but again, that's the hope for newt gingrich as well who was on last night and is it just us or does he sound less like a candidate and more like one of those guys on tv who analyzes what goes on in politics. listen. >> governor romney had a pretty good day today. i think he took a step towards clearly proving he was the frontrunner. senator santorum did not have a particularly good day. this is the third time now he's tried out in industrial midwestern union state and not succeeded and i think that conservatives are going to have to think through what's the right strategy if they hope to stop romney. >> yeah, that was a very good point. if you didn't know that gingrich was still in the race, you would think he was a pundit talking about what's going on. >> he needs five states in order to have any of his delegates count for him. he needs five state wins. he's got two. he believes he's going to get louisiana and he believes he's going to get texas and he believes he's going to get one more and he thinks he'll do it in order to have his delegates count and to be able to carry them, he'll be able to use a lot of influence but won't be able to get the nomination. he also admitted this, politico is reporting and he basically confirmed yesterday that he is kind of running out of money and he says i've always -- >> he's in the red. >> he said i've always been low on money. that's going to be a big issue especially with the super pac, do they still want to write checks to newt gingrich if he's in single digit? >> one other thing to factor in in illinois, there was a very low weather turnout. usually they have the weather to complain about. it was terrible weather. it was beautiful in illinois. nonetheless, ron paul -- >> 44%, right? >> ron paul was not in illinois. he was actually in burbank, california, on the couch of jay leno. >> means nobody wins on the first ballot so -- and nobody gets eliminated so they have to have a revote. but the big issue there is the committed delegates. see, they'll be delegates may be committed to mitt romney but the second go around, they're not committed to him. them they can vote their conscience, then, i believe, we'll get a lot of those. >> wow! supportive audience, i was going to say i didn't watch it last night. but lots of cheers for him. >> where has he been? he has been absolutely missing in action for the longest time. for him to turn up on "the tonight show" is unbelievable. it's important to point out that ron paul seems to have gone somewhat quiet after the last debate in which he was accused of maybe teaming up with mitt romney. i'm wondering if there's a behind-the-scenes deal where ron paul backs up because he got such fervent supporters and gets behind mitt romney. >> we did hear after that first story, that story was floated a couple of weeks ago, then ron paul actually did come out with a commercial that did take a shot at mitt romney. nonetheless, yesterday on this program, we told you that mitt romney and rick santorum's secret service code names had been revealed. mr. santorum is petrus as in peter, the first pope, and mr. romney's is javelin, perhaps named after that car, amc car built by his father so that's one of the topics that ron paul addressed last night on jay leno as well. >> i think i know why you don't need protection. i saw what happened when you confronted a gentleman. take a look here. >> it really looked like him. >> by the way, bulldog would be his handle, his secret service secret name. >> ♪ everybody is ron paul dancing ♪ >> good stuff. all right. chris finds that very funny. let's get to some headlines now. we have a fox news alert as a matter of fact. dramatic stand-off under way between police and the man that they say murdered three children and a rabbi outside of a judicial school, the man claiming to be a member of al-qaida. he's been holed up inside a house in the city all night long. at one point, he opened fire on police leaving two officers injured. french officials say the man is still heavily armed but appears to be close to surrendering. there are reports the suspect's brother is behind bars. arrested just before this dramatic predawn raid. we'll keep an eye on that for you. convicted teenage killer larry puckett stared at the ceiling and refused to speak as well last night as officials in mississippi put him to death. he was an 18-year-old eagle scout when he was charged with killing his boss' wife in 1995 during a botched home invasion. his 28-year-old victim, a mother of two, puckett always insisted he was framed for the crime despite a relative to spotted him at the scene. it's one of the 20th century's most enduring mysteries. what happened to ameala earhardt? now, investigators think they've uncovered a clue. this is enhanced analysis of a photograph. it was taken back in 1937, months after her plane vanished. it shows what experts think may be the landing gear off a remote island just north of american samoa. investigators are going to the island in july and are going to hope to find maybe a little bit more wreckage so we can finally put that mystery to sleep. >> he believes he can fly! a dutch engineer taking flight. this is cool! with a pair of high-tech wings he invented. it took him eight months to make them out of fabric. his flapping arms providing only some of the energy to lift them off the ground. brian, don't say it. the rest comes from a combination of wii controllers and cell phone parts. >> what? >> i don't know. i'm just reading the story. i don't know. the wings, look, brian, look, he flew the length of a football field and we're going to see him land. >> if i work a football field from work and i'm 100 yards away from work, that's perfect. >> it was a demonstration. i'm sure he can probably travel cross country. >> do we see him land? >> i don't know. it can't be just his arm strength that gets him flapping like that. it's got to be some motorized, some mechanism that has him going. that is so cool! here's the thing, you have a bunch of people doing this on the way to work or something like that. eventually, somebody is going to take a header and -- >> you think they're going to hit each other. >> no, i think they're going to land with their head. >> i think it should be like a driver's license, you take lessons and you take the test. >> you take flying lessons? >> exactly. >> if you're smart -- >> you give up a flight similarity. i think it's great. >> if you're smart, you'll sell your car today. cars will be obsolete. >> that's what you said about the segue. how did that work out? >> it didn't really work out. >> in the mall, they seem so natural. democrats are running a full-court press claiming that paul ryan's new budget will hit seniors where it hurts. but did they even read it? stuart varney did. he'll prove it. >> and you've seen one dancing baby and you've seen them all, right? not until you see this little guy. the moves you'll be talking about all day long. check it out!

>> yes, i do. >> sure you do. mitt romney taking home a win from illinois but rick santorum is vowing to stay in the race despite his second place finish. >> we're joined by former advisor to president bill clinton and fox news contributor dick morris. good morning to you, dick. >> good morning. how are you guys doing? >> we're doing ok. we're interested in your analysis, though, mitt romney won by double digits last night in illinois. how big is that for mitt? >> i think it's huge! because it establishes that he can win a major midwestern state by a large margin. i think 15 or 20 points. and i think that's very significant. here's how it stacks up from here on out. by the time all of illinois is counted, romney will probably end up with about 560 to 570 delegates. he has 553 right now. you have a whole bunch of proportional representation states that cast 350 votes among them. texas is the big one at 155. those states don't stack up well for romney. texas and louisiana and a bunch of other states, i think, arkansas, kentucky, will be negative for him. so of that 350, i would project he gets about 120 votes and brings him up to 700. then there are a series of 11 winner take all states, all of which, i think, romney will win of these 11 and that will give him the nomination. they are d.c., maryland, connecticut, delaware, rhode island, montana, new york which is sort of winner take all, new jersey, south dakota, utah and the big one is california with 172 delegates. santorum has got to win either new york or california or three of these other states. at the moment, i'm giving santorum, wisconsin, indiana, north carolina, west virginia, nebraska and pennsylvania which is 72 votes. i don't think he's going to win all of those. i think wisconsin, indiana and maybe north carolina and nebraska will go to romney. so right now, gingrich -- romney -- if romney wins all of the 11 states i ticked off and he's ahead in all of them, then he's got this nomination sewed up and he would then have 1230 votes and he needs 1144. i frankly predict he'll end up with 1320, 1350 which would be 200 more than he needs. >> i know he got most of the conservative vote possibly for the first time and he also gained on married women on rick santorum in the midwest. >> tea party. >> and the tea party as well. but does the voter turnout down 24% despite the biggest, most significant illinois primary since 1988 disturb you? >> well, i think that a lot of the people who would have turned out to vote for santorum or gingrich stayed home because they felt that they did not want to prolong this nominating battle and it was one thing to vote for a candidate who is not their first choice but was able to come out essentially and vote for a deadlock convention. anybody voting for santorum is to have this nomination stay open until the convention and i think they probably agree with me this would be a disaster and might re-elect obama. so i think it's fully understandable they stay home. issue is when we can stop this destructive fight and crown the nominee and let him get on with the business of defeating obama. >> another lightning rod issue for the president has been the fast & furious, lightning rod issue more so for attorney general holder. what do you think is going to happen here? you know, he's not handing over anything. >> yesterday, we discovered that the prime respect, they caught him. they stopped his truck and realized that he had all sorts of problems. they let him go because they thought he would be a great informant and he never called them back. >> yeah, it's not just a great -- a great load with him. he had dozens of automatic weapons and other stuff that he was en route to give to the drug dealers. they busted him on may 29, 2010, and they called him the chief case officer, atf did, hope mccallister and chief interviewed him and decided he would cooperate and wrote her number on a $10 bill and gave it to him and never heard from him again. nine months later, he was arrested after he smuggled 2,000 weapons to the cartel including rifles that were found at the scene of the murder of a border patrol agent. you know, you compare this with the iran-contra. in iran-contra, reagan almost got impeached for selling arms to patriots who were fighting the communist dictator. here, holder is escaping blame for selling arms to the mexican drug dealers. >> right. >> it's amazing. it's amazing that that is the excuse -- that sounds -- it almost sounds like a comedy. dick morris, thanks so much. >> later today, i'm going to have a petition on my web site to get rid of mr. holder and boy, i hope that you long on and sign. it will be posted by around noon. >> all right. dick morris.com. dick morris, live for us and thank you very much for joining us today from it looks like florida. thank you, sir. >> that's right. >> all righty, thanks, dick. now we've got some other headlines for you beginning with the fox news alert. a dramatic stand-off under way in france right now between police and the man they say murdered three children and a rabbi outside of a jewish school. the man claiming to be a member of al-qaida. he's been holed up inside a house in the city all night long. at one point, he opened fire on police leaving two officers injured. french officials say the man is still heavily armed but appears to be surrendering. there are reports the suspect's brother is behind bars arrested before this dramatic raid. >> mean while, republican senators kay bailey hutchinson and jeff sessions adding their voices to the congressional chorus blasting attorney general eric holder. we were just talking about this. hutchinson saying "there are serious questions about several of the programs he is implementing like fast & furious and other areas where i don't think he's making the right priorities in the administration." and sessions saying "there's really been a growing disappointment in the attorney general's leadership. frankly, and i'm sorry to see that happen." both senators stopping short of joining 123 house republicans calling for mr. holder's resignation. >> call it victory. a florida woman making an incredible find in a patch of forest outside of orlando. you can see this thing there. it's a cemetery containing the graves of at least four world war i veterans hidden for centuries in the brush. that's probably a typical thing in that area, i have a feeling. that woman now making it her mission to contact the veterans' families like the relatives of joe green. here they are seeing his tombstone for the very first time in nearly eight decades. watch this. >> to see him is like still standing, we praise god for that. and we praise god for this opportunity. >> the greens and other people, other families now looking to move their relatives to a national cemetery where their graves can be maintained. >> terrorists now tapping into video games to plot attacks? we have a source telling us that islamic extremists are using on-line war games like call of duty to talk about their deadly plans in secret. they're moving towards video games because they can chat in private unlike phone calls and e-mails monitored by police. government officials say terrorists look to realistic games to help them work through war scenarios. >> never thought about that. >> heard that with flight simulators, too, with 9/11 attackers. >> like skyping through a video game. >> yep. >> straight ahead, he led hundreds of american soldiers as they stormed baghdad marking a turning point in the war in iraq. the attorney general david g. perkins reporting for duty to share his first-hand account. good morning, sir. >> 10 years to the day. the catholics at one university making christians come to class on religious holidays because buddhists don't get days off for their holidays.

this april marks the ninth anniversary of a thunder run, after three days of intense fighting, a force of 975 u.s. soldiers of army's third infantry division, second battalion captured the city of five million and ended saddam hussein's rule over iraq. joining us is lieutenant general david g. perkins, the legendary commander who led the thunder run assault when he was just a colonel into baghdad. great to see you again and we'll say congratulations on the promotion. as you look back 10 years from now, what your thoughts as we roll some of the footage of that dramatic run over the border of kuwait into iraq to the airport and then to the capital? >> well, you know, as i look at the videos and see many of the soldiers i served with, the thoughts now are the same as i have every day in the army and that is constantly amazed at the huge amount of requirement and responsibilities we put on our soldiers and how well they perform under the most difficult situations. >> what are we seeing right now? >> what you're seeing here is our tanks and bradleys going up route 8 starting south of baghdad, going into the city's center. the first and the fifth, we attacked into the airport and linked up with the first brigade and then on the 7th, we attacked into the heart of baghdad and to the regime district. >> we had no idea what to expect. we did expect mass surrenderings but instead the army went home. >> yeah, it, you know, we've got a lot of lessons learned for our many years both in iraq and afghanistan. that's one of the things that we do now where i'm at, the combined armed services center go over lessons learned. human dimension of this, what the enemy will do and how they will fight against us is one of the great unknowns. >> what i think is important, too, from the civilian perspective is they trusted you at centcom to look around and make adjustments to the battle plan. you said this is what we have. i think we can do this. they asked you to justify your belief and you did it. that's why when people look at you, you were a colonel then, they say dave perkins, we'll remember that guy for a long time. >> that's the strength of our army, that we power down. we are very confident in supporting the leader on the ground which is why we put so much effort into our leader development programs and training our young sergeants and lieutenant and captains. we expect them to make those hard decisions and expect the higher ranking quarters to support them. >> you know what it's like to serve in the military personally and you have your daughter, a blackhawk pilot just got back from war. and your son is a junior in westpoint. let's move on and talk about something you're dealing with today and that's afghanistan. here is general allen yesterday trying to answer a question about will he get the numbers he needs to win this war? >> i've been given assurances by the white house that we are in a strategic conversation, chairman. there has been no number mentioned. >> no number mentioned. has it been frustrating for the best you can answer at the pentagon but to draw up war plans and have politicians tell you you can't have the numbers you need? >> well, for one thing, i'm not at the pentagon so i'm sort of not in that business and i am assured just as my superiors supported my ultimate decision and what i needed to do in baghdad, that general allen will get the support he needs to do to get the mission done. >> when you look at the budgets that are coming down the pipe, they talk about maybe a peace dividend and cutting another $100 to $200 billion out of the budget. how will that affect you guys? >> we in the army want to be very good stewards of the taxpayer money. we realize we're going to get smaller. people talk about a peace dividend. i refer to it as a war dividend and that is we want to make sure that all the goodness that we've learned out of this war, our great young leaders, the knowledge that they have, we reinvest that back in the army so we do ta in a gradual way and don't break all the goodness we have right now. >> i was able to visit you in kuwait a week before you invaded iraq and you asked me to leave. you said we can have a chance of winning this thing if you only leave. >> you did p.t. with us and you had to carry my sergeant major on my back and back and forth. it was clear maybe it was time for you to go. >> colonel and now lieutenant general perkins, thanks so much for your service and sharing your story. >> pleasure to be here and talk about our great soldiers. >> talk on radio later. straight ahead, one college no longer canceling classes on christian holidays so other religions don't feel bad? does that make sense? someone here to defend that decision and a reality check inside jersey shore house, one of these cast members in rehab. i'm stunned! bacon?! gotta get that bacon! bacon?! bacon? bacon! who wants a begginstrip? meee! i'd get it myself but i don't have thumbs! yum, yum, yum, yum, yum... it's bacon!!! mmmmm...i love you. i love bacon. i love you.

joining us right now is the vice provost for undergraduate education at stoney sf brook university, dr. charles robb inns. he is screen right. and then screen left, jordan secalow, executive director of the american center for law and justice. good morning to both of you. dr. robbins, let's start with you. why are you making students choose between taking the day off to observe their religious holiday and going to school? >> ok, in fact, our goal is not to make anyone make a choice. >> but they will. >> well, it will be a personal decision, not a state decision. our goal is to maximize available class time for all of our students and to really make a calendar that's predictable and standardize that makes the most sense academically. >> and i read somewhere that one of the things you were trying to accomplish is on campus, we've never -- you know, they've never had a holiday off for buddhists or anybody else of various religions. how many buddhists go to stoneybrook? >> actually, at this point our -- the budest population is 5% of the student population. >> ok. >> but in fact, what we've tried to do is to show equal respect for all students. but again, our motivation is to maximize the educational opportunities and to ensure that all students, all faculty, all staff will have the opportunity to -- to practice their faith in the way they want by eninsuring that there will be no penalties for missing classes on any of those days. >> ok, jordan, what do you think? >> it's the only university center now in the sunni system that doesn't accommodate these holidays and as you said, steve, it's not just the christian holy week or easter week and good friday that comes into play here, it's also the jewish high holidays that have always been given off here and so the other three university centers will continue to do that. second part, this is against their long standing tradition. do you know that academic calendar was already set through 2015 that's done by the student government association, the interfaith center and the university administrators. this was a secret process. one professor called it atrocious! you have all five official university chaplains who have registered a letter of protest with the school here because again, it's an arbitrary decision now and that actually conflicts with new york law which says you should accommodate people, stony brook was and now said you know what? we don't care about religious accommodation anymore. >> dr. robbins, we'll give you the final word. >> ok, in fact, eight of the 29 four year universities in the system do not cancel classes as well as in the american association of universities. >> but the other universities do. the other three like you do. the other three like you do. >> only two universities -- >> right? buffalo, binghamton, albany, they also cancel classes. >> they do. >> you're the only one that doesn't. >> we will have to see what happens going forward. dr. charles robb inns from stony brook and jordan, thank you very much for joining us live. what do you think about this?

>> good to see you, juliet, steve, brian, good morning. illinois, big victory for mitt romney last night. 12 points according to the popular vote. if you take a look at the delegates distributed, a.p. says 41-10 romney to santorum. a big victory. here's what romney had to say last night sounding more and more like a general election candidate. have a listen. >> too often today, americans who want to start a business or launch a new venture, they don't see promise and opportunity. they see government standing in the way and i'm going to change that. we're going to get government out of the way! >> speaking of getting out of the way, the romney camp is again suggesting the other candidates standing, rick santorum should step aside except santorum isn't playing along. >> make clearer and clearer this is a two person race and when we get down to that two person race now, we're going to start winning across this country. >> next up is louisiana on saturday but newt gingrich is campaigning heavily there. as a matter of fact, he wasn't here in illinois much at all over the course of the last 10 days so that contest santorum wants, not happening. of course, what is an election without a snag or two? a 16th of an inch was a problem yesterday, yesterday, 24 counties in illinois's second largest city of aurora had ballots 1/16th of an inch too wide for optical scan machines. that's the edgdgdgdgdgdgdgdgdgdg cause some headaches in those 24 counties and again, the second largest city in illinois which . >> mr. brown, thank you very much for the live report from chicago. mitt romney has been criticized asot having -- you know, when he talks, we don't hear the vision. last night in his victory speech, he sounded like he had the vision. but -- >> he ignored the runner-ups. >> absolutely. and he just took a shot at president obama. the big thing, though, is with the very low turnout. it was only 24%, you know, it was a beautiful day out in illinois and a lot of people did not go and pull the lever. >> maybe that's why. >> maybe that's it. but the thing is come november, how would, if he is the nominee, mr. romney generate some enthusiasm, brit hume was on the greta van susteren program last night and he had an idea. >> one to choose a running mate that ignites the party much the way that sarah palin ignited the republican party four years ago and she really did do that. she brought in all these conservatives who were not excited about mccain. she did the job. she did a good job in her early appearances and especially at the convention and she and john mccain were ahead in the polls when the market meltdown happened. people forget that. the second thing is the president -- if romney picks a running mate who had that kind of galvanizing effect, that would generate some enthusiasm. and second thing, of course is resistance to the president will motive ate a lot of voters this fall. >> resistance to the president and resistance of paying $6 for gas. >> right. >> which we're heading. later on in that broadcast, charles krauthammer said marco rubio, go ahead and name your guy. >> we keep hearing about santorum and mitt romney. and gingrich thrown in there every once and a while. he's only had two wins and he's running out of money so a l of folks are asking why is he staying in the race? we heard him on hannity last night. we played a soundbite earlier. kind of sounded like he was a pundit sort of talking about the two candidates and sort of excludeing himself. listen to this. he elaborated a little bit more in talking a little bit more about why he's a candidate. >> senator santorum who i like personally i think has a hard time explaining why the guy who set the all time record for losing pennsylvania and was part of the largest defeat since watergate in 2006 as part of the leadership so i'm staying in the race because i think it's a question of who can beat barack obama. >> really? is that really why you're staying in the race? brit hume has another suggestion. brit? >> newt gingrich is a guy with a lot of energy and a lot of things to say and i think he likes to say them. if he stays in this race, he still has a bigger platform if he had if he got out. we don't hear much from those who have gotten out, do we? >> he's not back in office, newt gingrich. his good friend rick santorum lost by a huge pointed out biggest defeat in his career. and he told me on radio yesterday, mitt romney as a nominee would be a disaster. i said so you've eliminated yourself from running mate or anything else. how could you possibly coalesce beside somebody that you're just quoted as saying, that's fine. he doesn't really -- i'm sure there's a strategy to his statements but he's not backing off at all. >> indeed. meanwhile, the president of the united states, tomorrow when you wake up, there's a good possibility there will be a headline that barack obama has approved the keystone pipeline. >> wait, the one that he was talking about two weeks ago. >> no. no. that one is from canada. down to texas. that would be the entire route from canada down through -- to port arthur, as you can see right there, but from oklahoma, see that dot in oklahoma down to the houston area, that's the southern leg, that has been approved for a while, transcanada has gone ahead and said we're either going to start building it in the spring or summer. and the president is going to be at the same facility in cushing, oklahoma where they're keeping for the pipeline that he's said no, we're not going to build. >> over and over again. >> yeah, over and over again. there's a real good possibility they're going to announce today even though it's been a foregone conclusion that they're going to build it. meanwhile, the most stunning pipeline in u.s. history is still on hold but they're building a portion that got ok'd. what's the reasoning and rational besides the president's delay of game? while making a speech with those would-be pipes that are going to be put together right behind him, david axelrod answered that question with bret baier. >> why did they rush the decision? why did they choose to force the issue when they were told that the state department needed more time to go through the review and i think the answer is they want to create a political issue. they should have allowed that process to -- a legitimate question. >> harold ford among the democrats who said you got to build a pipeline. he's -- >> bill clinton says embrace the pipeline. and, you know, if a piline is built within the boundaries of the united states, the president doesn't have to approve it. it's just when it csses -- >> state department has to. >> absolutely. my wife and i were talking, you know, the kids are all in college. >> silent treatment is over? >> we were talking yesterday about the keystone pipeline and my wife said, you know, because they're not -- >> i'm not kidding. >> my wife said because they haven't built it from canada, she said you know how we're getting the oil? i said truck? she said, yeah. on trucks. so how safe is on trucks or train vs. a pipeline? >> in my house when we start -- when we're alone and the lights are dim, we talk about the gdp and she is just crazy! >> my house, my husband -- oh, wait. >> listen, we can call you up and talk pipeline with you. >> probably -- >> maybe not! >> that wouldn't go over good. >> she might record it. >> we got headlines. >> ok. here's a fox news alert and this is a serious one. you're looking in a moment at live pictures out of france. stand-off under way right now between police and the man they say murdered three children and a rabbi outside of a jewish school. the man now being identified. his name is muhammad merah and he reportedly claims to be a member of al-qaida. there are reports he once escaped a prison in afghanistan after a mass jailbreak orchestrated by the taliban. he's been holed up inside a house in the city all night long. one point, he apparently opened fire on police and he left two officers injured. you're seeing a reporter there. french officials s the man is still heavily armed but appears to be close to surrendering. french president in this case -- nicolas sarkozy speaking moments ago urging his country not to give in for a desire for revenge. congressman paul ryan unveiling his pro growth tax reform plan for next year calling it "a choice between two futures." it cuts $5 trillion more in government spending than president obama's budget and reduces the federal deficit by $3 trillion more than the white house version. there are also no cuts in defense spending which president obama, of course, has done since taking office. congressman paul ryan, by the way, will be joining us a little bit later to talk about his plan. make sure you tune in for that or just stay tuned. one driver in miami really paid for her impatience at the pump. check out this gas station surveillance video. according to witnesses that were around the scene, the woman got so fed up with waiting. hello, anger management, she swerved in front of a yellow humm, lost control, slammed into the gas pump and exploded into a ball of fire. nobody was hurt. thank goodness. first, it was a pregnant snooki. now the situation has a situation. reportedly, he is entering rehab. tmz reporting that "jersey shore" star checked in to a facility. sources say he's been making nightclub appearances for the last t ars. he gets a lot of money. he gets like $50,000 a pop and he stays there and parties with the folks and his reps say he's simply dealing with exhaustion. that's what they all say. >> that partying will poop you out. >> yeah. >> i'm exhausted watching those guys. meanwhile, straight ahead, coming up next on this very program, mitt romney may be winning but are voters excited enough to elect him president? some interesting new exit polls out this morning. our polital panel helps break them down. >> then video like you've never seen before. yep, those are firefighters fighting a fire. in dresses. the story behind that video and it's a good one as we roll on liverom new york city.

an overwhelming 60% say it's mitt romney. here to discuss, here's our political panel. first time ever together. pollster michael linsaki is here, former prosecutor is here and comedian jim norton also here. they can all analyze the performance last night and you can analyze his performance because he's at caroline's this week end. >> next weekend. >> this weekend, i'll be at an adult bookstore. >> reason we didn't promo that. let's talk about mitt romney. what changed today? do you think he's more likable now, michael? >> i think the numbers suggest he's more likable. he's getting a bigger percentage of the people that think he can relate to average americans than he has before. the conservatives seem to be coalescing to a greater extent than in the past around him. he won among conservatives and tea party voters. this is a really good story for romney and tougher sell for santorum to get up there and say he's making progress even in this kind of admittedly moderate state. >> but liz, he has actually done well, as usual, where people make over $100,000. college graduates seem to like him. he won the catholic vote again. moderate vote is not a surprise but tea party support is significant. he basically went to a dead heat with rick santorum. >> i think he did very well with the tea partiers and i'm impressed by that but i don't think he's a particularly likable candidate as much as he is a tolerable candidate for the republicans. >> you can tolerate him. >> yes. i personally can't but i think the republicans can. >> jim, a lot of people can't tolerate you. that has nothing to do with this conversation. >> because i'm too handsome! >> but jim, in the big picture, do you think he's becoming more likable last night talking only about the president, not about his other republicans? >> i love the fact that we think he's relatable to most americans. he's worth $200 million. >> he earned it. >> i'm not saying he doesn't deserve his money. nobody relates to that. i think ron paul is like $5 million and santorum is like $5 million. none of these guys have ever had to stand in the supermarket and complain to the manager that the coin star machine was ripping them off. none of them relate to average americans. >> is that a requirement to be president? >> you have to relate to average americans on some level. biden is worth $250. biden might have some relation but none of these guys have any connection to average people. >> you can say that mitt romney started with nothing. he didn't get an inheritance from his dad. he can relate to the early struggles. >> he can relate to the early struggles but since then, he hasn't been able to relate to the general population. that's his big problem and that's the problem in the general election that he'll face. >> he looks the most presidential. if i had to look at somebody, gingrich is a lego person and santorum looks like a creepy social studies teacher. if i had to vote for somebody on how they look, i'd say romney. >> they're all fine people. yes, representing the average american is a problem. what about working women? >> i think we have this narrative out there now that santorum has a problem with women and we saw that in illinois as well. he didn't do well among women overall and did worse among working women and so i think to the extent that any candidate is doing well with them, it's going to be romney. >> well, as a woman on the panel, i think that, you know, illinois is much more reflective of the states that are going to be toss-up states. he cannot relate to women at all and the states that are coming up, states like connecticut and even pennsylvania, santorum's home state, he's going to have a really hard time with relating to women in these states. >> overflow crowd last night. and jim, women? >> well, i don't know how women feel about him. i know he's anti-porn. rick, what do you expect me to do? >> ok, fine. interesting close. one i wasn't expecting. >> important point. home run. >> thank you very much. you got to go back to opie & anthony. >> yes, i do. >> we enjoyed having you here. >> 20 minutes after the hour. caught in the act. while you're supposed to be conserving energy, the vice president is burning gas going nowhere. meet the husband that would do about anything for his wife even pose in a pink tutu. he'll join us live. in my line of work, it's not uncommon for the term "hero" to be bandied about. but does bringing a floor back to life really make us heroes?

>> mine does shut off. it shuts off when i idle. idling that long is bad for your engine. >> so long, joe! >> have you noticed the price of gas is going up? >> no, not at all. >> we have suggestions on how you can -- >> inflate your tires? >> we heard that during the last campaign. there are some ways with the national gas average approaching $4 and heading over $4 before the summer driving season is over. >> why are you laughing at me? >> yeah, i wasn't expecting that. >> would you like to hear about some of the ways to save? you have to buy your gasoline a little earlier in the week, apparently. apparently, prices rise during the week but more so in the second half of the week. >> wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, more expensive. >> why would that be? >> i don't know. i guess people are going to be traveling places in the weekend. >> maybe. i did not know this, gas stations near highways are cheaper. i would expect they would be opposite. you have to get on the highway. >> gas stations near airports very expensive. that's where you return your rental car. >> that's very smart. very true. >> i prepay my gas. >> you do? >> really? >> that's wrong? >> no, that's smart. >> fill up near state lines. it will save you a lot of money, people. states are more competitive because of different taxes. >> you should probably go to the closest state line and not go to montana, though. >> yeah, if you go past four state lines to get to a state line, it's not a good move. they should have made that very specific. >> shouldn't go fill up in wealthy areas. >> avoid high priced neighborhoods so those in beverly hills, get out of there! >> tell your butlers to go down -- >> yeah. >> not by the airport. >> let's get so some headlines now and a suspected sexual predator is on the loose. this is the guy. federal immigration officials admit they are to blame for this. according to the daily caller, he was arrested for 42 counts of predatory acts in chicago late last year. that's when he tried to post bail and local police turned him over to ice. the problem instead of deporting him, putting him back in jail, ice decided to release him. not surprisingly, i don't understand but not surprisingly, the guy never showed up for his scheduled immigration hearing and has been on the run ever since. so if you see him, turn him in! >> meanwhile, severe storms causing widespread flooding in the middle part of the country. heavy rain bringing more than three inches of rain to parts of texas as of yesterday. there you got dallas. there you got jefferson county, texas. rain was so strong in that county that it forced the ambulance to flip over. luckily, no patients were inside. the crew should be ok. meanwhile, storms also causing major headaches for drivers in eastern oklahoma. you can see one driver there getting stuck in the water and having to jump out so she didn't get stranded and there she gets into the jeep and drives off. >> all right. if you're not already -- if you're not already by your tv, come to the tv now because this is likely the best video you will see all day. check it out. no, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. those are firefighters battling a car fire in drag. >> why? >> the guys were on their way to a charity event where each -- each year, they trade in their firefighting frocks for designer dresses. that's when they got the call. is this a joke? so they hitched up their skirts and went to work. thanks to their quick action, nobody was hurt but three of them reported runs in their stockings. >> huh? >> very funny. >> let's hope the taffeta was teflon. >> that's fantastic. >> one of the most unique festivals in spain wrapping up. the celebration kicked off this weekend. amy kellogg is in valencia with all of the highlights. >> one of the signs that this festival is wrapping up is that the robe of this madonna, our lady of the forsaken is now complete. all of the floral offerings that have been brought here over the past few days have been put into an elaborate pattern on her dress and people from all over the world have come to check it out. >> and then the final ritual. anticipation mounts as firefighters painstakingly prepare for the big burn or as they call it in valencia. hoards of firecrackers are strung around the figures. and then fireworks harold the end. the last hooray is a wild show of sparks and sparkles and then the figures catch fire. below, the fire brigades hose down anything near the burning display to make sure the fire doesn't spread. but they don't touch the flaming figures as the crowds would rebel. they love to watch their beloved festival sculptures go up in smoke. such incendiary splendor seems to trump any sadness that might surround so much destruction. the scene plays itself out hundreds of times all over the city into the night. >> the smoke of the burning fire will lift and the scent of these flowers will fade away but soon already, the people of valencia will be busy planning the next fallas festival. amy kellogg, fox news. >> that looks cool. thank you very much, amy. out we go to brian and juliet. >> thank you very much, steven. remember this lady, brian?

>> not at all. >> you're like 20 years older than the oldest one. >> yeah, i could be their moms. yeah. they see me but we're kind of far away from them, about 12 to 13 feet, so you don't see the crow's feet so they're very supportive of me. >> i think it's important to know, too, they're doing a movie on your life, too?

[ laughter ] i mean, we once led the world in manufacturing, exports, investment. today we lead the world in lawsuits. why don't we replace a law professor with a conservative businessman as president. that's going to end. >> brian: before the show -- why was mitt romney bringing up the hoover dam and the highway program? 'cause these are federal program which is is something the president -- >> steve: but they were big programs. >> brian: they were huge programs that were infrastructure projects that were actually shovel ready because the water was coming through u needed a dam. >> steve: it was a very big shovel. rick santorum over the last couple of days, he has heard the mitt romney people say it's a foregone conclusion he's going to wind up with plenty of delegates. rick santorum has given his best case scenario, but he still is about 124 delegates short, even if he got all the delegates he's projecting, he still would wind up behind mitt romney. but here is the thing about mitt romney, rick santorum has been absolutely pummeling him about his record and he says -- he said last night, look, we don't need another manager. we need a guy like rick santorum. >> this is an election about fundamental and foundational things. this is an election about not who is the best person to manage washington or manage the economy. we don't need a manager. we need someone who is going to pull up government by the roots and throw it out and do something to liberate the private sector in america. that's what we need. >> brian: he also beat on mitt romney's public record. he says it's a disaster. newt gingrich said something similar. >> juliet: he beat on romney for using a teleprompter. >> brian: right. >> steve: right. one of the other things was rick santorum said look, if the guy on the republican side in november is mitt romney, we might as well vote for barak obama. >> brian: right. charles krauthammer said it is inevitable romney is the nominee and he also suggested he name senator marco ruby as his running mate. >> juliet: what do you think ron paul would say about that? >> brian: i have no idea. >> juliet: i do know, he was on leno last night. let's hear what he had to say about a brokered convention. >> a brokered convention means nobody wins on the first ballot. and nobody gets eliminated. so they have to have a revote. but the big issue there is the committed delegates. see, there will be delegates maybe committed to mitt romney, but the second go around, they're not committed to him. then they can vote their conscience, then i believe we'll get a lot of those. >> steve: so that's his plan. also last night, jay leno brought up the fact that mitt romney and rick santorum both have now secret service protection. ron paul doesn't have it, nor as jay leno is about to explain, does he need it. >> i think i know why you don't need protection. i saw what happened when you confront add gentleman. take a look here. >> juliet: he looks so sweet, but he's so tough. >> steve: can you imagine ron paul like that up against putin? >> brian: it would be very interesting. >> steve: who would weapon? >> juliet: shirts off. >> brian: tell us what's happening in the news. >> juliet: thank you for making sure i do that. fox news alert, this is a tense stand-off between police and the man they say murdered three kids and a rabbi outside a jewish school. the man now being identified as mohammed mara. there is word he stopped talking to negotiators moments ago. he reportedly claimed earlier this morning that he is a member of al-qaeda. he was going back and forth with those paratroopers and so forth outside. he's been holed up inside a house in toulouse, france. at one point he opened fire on police. he left two officers injured. french officials say the man is still heavily armed, but he appears to be close to surrendering. he's not talking now. so we'll see what happens. we're told the suspect's mother, brother and friend of the brother were detained for questioning just before that predawn raid. we'll keep an eye on that for you. >> steve: he also reportedly escaped jail in afghanistan in 2008. so he's been on the run. >> juliet: yes, he has. to texas where police found human remains near where 13-year-old cheerleader haley dunn disappeared after christmas day back in 2010. do you remember the story? the remains were discovered just a mile from where the mother of haily's mother's then boyfriend, sean atkins, was living, when she vanished. atkins was considered a person of interest in the case. officials say it will take some time to identify those remains. one of the 20th centuries most enduring mysteries. is brian's hair real? no. this one is about what happened to amelia earhart. investigators think they've uncovered a clue. this is an enhanced analysis of a photograph taken back in 1937, months after her plane vanished. it shows what experts think may be the landing gear of the plane. it looks like it's on a remote island north of american samoa. investigators are going to the island in july hoping to find the wreckage. gwyneth paltrow lashing out at the "new york times" over claims that said she used a ghost writer to pen her new cookbook. a lot of people are upset about this. she treated this, quote, love at "new york times" dining section burks this week's facts need checking. no ghost writer on my cookbook. i wrote every word myself. rachel ray says the same thing. the book especially personal for paltrow. she says it's inspired by and dedicated to her late father who is the daughter. she was extremely close with him. >> brian: "new york times" getting everybody mad. let's talk about this university, about 30 miles east of where we are located. >> steve: apparently they're going to start -- kids will no longer get days off for religious holidays so jewish students will have to show up for class on rosh hashanah, yom coo purr, catholic kids will have to show up for good friday. they've got christmas off because of a contract deal with the teachers. a lot of people are really upset. they say, look, what's going to happen going forward is if they're not going to give the days off for religious holidays, kids are going to have to make a choice between going to class and respecting their religion. >> brian: what about the buddhists? what about the other religions? >> steve: you know with a? that is the argument that dr. charles robins from stonybrook university made earlier this morning, why it's a good idea we also had somebody talk being why it's a dumb idea. >> it would be a personal decision. not a state decision. our goal is to maximize available class time for all of our students and to really make a calendar that's predictable and standardized that makes the most sense academically. >> this is against their long-standing traditions. the academic calendar was already set through 2015 that's done by the student government association, the interfaith center and the university administrator, this was a secret process. >> juliet: we asked to you weigh in. here is a e-mail from phyllis in pennsylvania. the calendar now demonstrates equal treatment. not majority rule. i've never understood the priority given to christian holidays. >> brian: that's one for them. personal responsibility with all the religions in this nation. how could any school accommodate all of them and still provide an adequate curriculum. two votes for that column. >> steve: there you go. >> brian: most of our e-mail seems to think they should get the christian holidays off. >> steve: yeah, i saw that. all right. what do you think?

>> i think the budget is stacked against the middle class and seniors. if you're a billionaire in this budget, you get $150,000 tax break. if you're a company that offshores jobs, you get a tax break. if you're an oil company, you get a tax break. if you're a senior on medicare, you get a government voucher that will only cover some of your costs, according to the congressional budget office. once you reach that government imposed cap on your senior health care, you are on your own. so why is it that oil companies get a break, offshore companies that ship jobs offshore get a break, billionaires get a break, but seniors on medicare get an experimental voucher that won't cover their costs? >> steve: as i understand it, seniors would be able to stay on traditional medicare going forward. >> brian: they'd have a choice. >> they'd have a choice to stay on traditional medicare under paul ryan's vision, but number one, the devil -- we haven't seen the details yet. >> steve: exactly. so congressman, because you have not seen the detail, for you to dem my gog it is unfair. >> they may elect to go into the insurance markets which means seniors who can't afford to make up the gap will stay on medicare and according to the congressional budget office, national committee for the preservation of social security and medicare, when you have more seniors who need more -- who have more health care needs on medicare, the cost of medicare will go up and the solidity will be more trouble. >> brian: the president is on record saying the current entitlement programs are unsustainable. here are some case in case you didn't have a chance to digest the plan. 5.3 billion in spending compared to president obama's plan. his cuts, he cuts the debility by 15%. reduces the corporate tax rate by about 10, which the president also talked about doing. 25%. i think overall what i think this would be great to see some negotiation on this because at least he's attacking some of the entitlements in a big way and the president, as you know, in 3 1/2 years, has gone past his debt. he's doubled the deficit much more than george bush did in eight years. >> i'm not so sure that's true. but here in washington, 2 plus 2 equals whatever people want it to. it's just the priorities are wrong. paul ryan, the budget according to an article in today's newspaper the hill, adds $3 trillion to the debt. why? because it remains intact every penny of the bush tax cuts, including for millionaires and billionaires. by the way, some of the bush tax rates, i think should be extended. but for millionaires and billionaires, paul said, and he's going to say it when he comes on, we have a huge problem with deficits and debt. i agree with him. when you have those problems, do you what any small business does, you have a response that's balanced and bold. that response has to include cutting spending, which we've done, and i would support cutting additional spending. >> brian: we're just about out of time. >> to provide more revenues. >> brian: you think the president put together a responsible budget that has a chance of passing? >> i think takes budget is responsible because the priorities are right. he invests in the middle class and small businesses. he doesn't balance the budget on the backs of seniors and the middle class. >> steve: the problem is you can pass a budget in the house, but then it goes to the senate where they do nothing and haven't for the last couple of years regarding the budget. steve israel, we thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> steve: congressman paul ryan, you just heard that. right? you ready to respond? >> it's all too familiar. i'm happy to respond after this break. >> brian: meanwhile, then this marine made headlines when he was arrested. you're about to see him, for carrying a legal gun in new york. we will have a major update in this case ♪ our machines help identify demagogue >> juliet: quick headlines. police ousting about 300 occupy protesters in union square park. one of the occupiers was arrested. protesters descended on the park saturday. they refused to leave even after warnings from police. the marine arrested for bringing a licensed gun to the empire state building donneling jail time. this after a massive write in campaign from his fellow service members. 29-year-old says he had no idea guns registered in indiana were not allowed in new york. steven? >> steve: thank you. we just heard democratic congressman steve israel say paul ryan's budget proposal will kill medicare. >> brian: here is wisconsin congressman and house budget chairman, paul ryan. congressman ryan, i guess the first thing that comes to mind as you listen to all that was medicare. tell us the truth about medicare and medicaid in this plan. >> good morning, guys. first of all, medicare, i heard the same old thing again. we propose the same growth rate for medicare that the president put in his law that he proposes in his budget. here is the difference, the president says 15 of his political appointee, unaccountable bureaucrat, they will make price control decisions that lead to denied care for seniors. our point is don't change the benefit for current seniors. don't have this board that ends operationing their care and for future seniors, empower 50 million seniors to pick the plans best for them, just like we and congress do for our own health insurance benefits. so we want to say, members of congress, federal employee, we have a system that works well called premium support. it works just as well for future seniors. it's a bipartisan idea. the difference is the president wants his 15 political appointees to make all the decisions which lead to rationing care for seniors. we say leave current seniors alone. don't ration their health care and in order to prevent the program from going bankrupt and prevent a debt crisis, have the future program work like the one we have in congress. it's bipartisan idea that's proven to work and we think it will save medicare. >> steve: sure. so when you hear steve israel as he was with us filibustering where he talked about how seniors would be -- would lose medicare as they know it, that's simply not true. the democrats are just trying to scare the living daylights out of people. >> not only simply not true, the president's health care law changeses medicare. it raids a half a trillion dollars to spend on obamacare and puts this new board of bureaucrats in charge of medicare to price control and ration the care for current seniors. we get rid of that board to prevent that from happening. >> brian: as you know, sperling said yesterday your budget reform to medicare is a death spiral. i think he's using that term because that's an actuarial term -- if a supreme court strikes down the mandate in june, then the actuary also say obamacare will death spiral. that's a word that the public will become familiar with this summer. if you take away that, obamacare collapses and the word the actuaries use, they're trying to use it now to blame it on us because they know the health care actuaries will use it this summer. >> steve: the democrat also throw everything but the kitchen sink at you. mr. israel also was talking about taxes. talked about -- we've heard it before, the whole fairness thing, millionaires and billionaires need to be paying more. he did say, however, he was for when the some of the bush era tax cuts are set to sunset, some of them should be left in place. >> we're saying change the tax code. make it permanent and clean out all the special -- >> steve: two brackets? >> two brackets. here is the deal, take away the tax shelter for the higher income individual so they can't shelter their income from taxation. you get more of their income subject to taxation and you can lower everybody's tax rates. it's clean, it's simple, it's competitive and let's not forget that 80% of american businesses file their taxes as individuals. small business, the job creators of america. and the president wants their top tax rate to go to 45% in january. our competitors are taxing themselves, their businesses at 15 to 25%. it's going to kill job creation. we want economic growth. we want job creation. clean out all the tax shelters, lower the tax brackets. you get at least as much revenue coming into the government. we're saying stop picking winners and losers in the tax code. stop favoring special interests. >> brian: read the details. governor paul ryan, everyone respects the work you're doing. now you're attacking the debt and deficit. thanks so much. >> thanks, appreciate it. >> brian: straight ahead. >> steve: teachers getting ready to rewrite their lesson plans, giving students a new lesson in big labor. does pro-union propaganda really belong in the schools?
