morning. judge andrew napolitano is andrew napolitano at this pic from house speaker newt gingrich. democratic national convention chairwoman congressman debbie wasserman schultz here in the studio. alan gross, former u.s. government subcontract your and execute a prisoner. you don't want to miss this interview is a must to stay with us to the top story of the morning. donald trump headed to washington to meet with nearly two dozen top republican leaders and fun registers in an effort to improve relationships with the establishment of comedian is more than 100 delegates are up for grabs in both the arizona primary and utah tomorrow. joining us now is the "washington times" reporter, kelley rebelled. did he see you. thanks for joining us. >> how important are arizona and utah and who has the most to gain here? let's talk about tomorrow's big contest. >> i think your dad cruise with the most to gain in the most to lose here. the willingness to pull off a big dreamy time it to get about the 50% threshold so he gets all the delegates. you could see john kasich been a spoiler. ted cruz is betting his money and utah. you also saw him change his schedule yesterday and take a surprise trip to arizona. what that might mean is our internal polling puts him closer within striking distance of donald trump expected to take this day. >> that's interesting. this contest become increasingly important. every single contest for ted cruz. >> no doubt about it. one thing with the crew's campaign if they are confident they will win arizona on election day. that speaks to the real advantage donald trump has. the early voting has been massive. if cruz cannot just win on election day that you got a one-day victory in arizona, he builds his case moving forward. >> even now dagen mcdowell, donald trump has been victorious at most victorious at muster publicans, the cruz campaign tells that they have a clear path that he does well with the contest. dagen: greases passes to take it to a contested convention. he's got to win more than 80% of the remaining delegates to get to 1237 highly unlikely compared to 57% for trump. over the weekend you heard the head of the republican party essentially saying that they are preparing. >> when they bring that to you. runs through the strain meant on a minor features and basically exactly that he's paired to run an historically transparent convention. watch this. >> with candidates that have attacked to the majority of delegates before cleveland. but if that doesn't happen, obviously we will be prepared to run the most open and transparent open convention in the history of our party. maria: there you go. they are taking steps to expect this. >> that's a shift from his tone earlier this month when he was talking about it being highly unlikely was one of the phrases they use. i just don't know how that goes over with voters. such a divide with the republican party. that doesn't meant the fissures in the party. maria: kelley, what do you think about that? >> l. trump has the possibility of putting this out right and we shouldn't cut them out and in the contest will see his path forward. if there is a contested convention, donald trump is preparing for that as well, go into all of these delegates uncommitted. about 322 of them. if it goes to the second ballot in the party insiders start shenanigans in terms of naming it a party or somebody who hasn't run in his primaries, the republican party has no problems going forward. >> have you ever seen this backlash to a candidate? you're among those pushing back. >> there's many reasons donald is a unique candidate. we were talking about utah earlier. poland has showed from yesterday that donald trump as a nominee could lose you talk about the muster publicans did in the union. a recent summit leaders and senate candidates and house candidates are nervous about what it would mean. >> certainly see the establishment label donald trump and they go after his past policies which are very liberal. one of the things we haven't talked about is where is that i'm going to get another win? he is hoping on an open convention. there is no path for him. he's mathematically eliminated. >> you talked about 83% cruise. 112 remaining delegates. >> and is also banking on it will change. you have to win at least eight states in order to be on the first ballot. he is hoping for a grocery convention that will change qualifies him. if that law, bob shaw. >> is basically saying i'm in this to be vice president. >> enough right now he says no. we've got a taken at his word right now. you'd be smarter if you got out. >> with talk about this violence for a second that donald trump sister. receiving a threatening letter one day after his son from arab trump received a suspicious letter with white powder inside. all of this is my violence broke out in arizona during an event over the weekend. things are continuing to escalate, kelley. how does this change the situation? >> i don't think it changes much for core supporters. the more he rises, the more threats i'm afraid he's going to receive. he is testing the parties bound. it's testing the american populace. he's a very polarizing figure. it's a terrible situation. or his supporters who see them rally around him some more and not flake off. dagen: in terms that the the interruptions of these protests at his event, not his fault. i'm sorry. i don't care how many times people point fingers at him. one day he can do and speaks about his daughter, i thought i was saying. he can change how he acts and now he particularly asked on twitter. step back. stop taking shots at people who frankly don't battery.patch to his presidential campaign. >> not only on twitter, but at the event he can say remove this person or be like we can hear your voice their objections later. does they go home to mommy. >> at the event they do start saying if you do see a protester, if someone starts yelling, we will piece fully remove them. so he is making now is in residence areas. >> i would ask our those being perceived at those events? is it like getting on the airplane and not listening to the safety announcements are not paying attention to the code of conduct. >> people are listening to does. this was last week after the chicago protest what they say everyone should calm down. one cannot enter chomp, chomp, u.s.a. umbilicus security officials to move them. please don't they hand on them. that is going on. protesters want to be forcibly removed. they want to sneak in, take their shirts off in protest and then they have to be removed from this event. this is not donald trump's fault as much as it is protesters. we have to respect the size. besides. >> audit your take on the upcoming third because president obama and historic three-day trip to cuba. the trip is not coming without controversy. hours before the president touched on a mandate, cuban authorities arrested more than 50 protesters. they were marching to demand better human rights. critics calling a role of castro or not grading the president upon his arrival. your thoughts about the cuban trip. do you view this as a big step for u.s. relations with cuba or what is the point? >> it can be. first there needs to be more economic transparency and provisions for u.s. companies. it's very hard to change cuba if a u.s. company cap u.s. company cap down an investment property or enter where they don't have majority stakeholder should. these things have to change for real progress to be made. this looks great on the surface, but i see no the more being jailed in cuba, changes in coming and will castro wasn't there to meet the president. on the face of that, that was an insult. maria: what you think about this? and that's what is troubling for a lot of republicans isn't necessarily the opening to cuba. and this speaks to a donald trump's candidacy is about. it's been a weakness to extract anything from cuba. the president is called roel castro is a good give you everything you bought. we don't pay much in return except that had minds. >> seems like the iran deal. he is continuously done this in relations with nations that have been aggressive towards us. i understand taking a small step to make some change. we know there is regime change over there. the casters are getting older and we have seen a path. maria: is that the excuse for him not showing up to the airport? >> possibly. it is unfortunate but it is a small step so hopefully there can be big leagues after the administration is. >> what is the point of him not showing up? does he not want to have better relations? >> i think raul castro showed up to greet the pope when he arrived in the nation and didn't show up to greater and president. >> he's tried to show a sign of strength. >> why are we there? why the confessions? why normalizing relations that is the family didn't get anything in return. thus i guarantee you they want to give guantánamo bay back to cuba. maria: cannot regard it does sound like iran. getting nothing but. >> potential nuclear weapons. >> look at what america did so far, what is at cuba. he was on a cuban comedian show. he's campaigning in cuba the way he campaigns in the united states the united states instead of hard-hitting interviews, obviously not a lot of journalists in cuba. trying to be the cool president of popular guys always. >> goes back to his legacy. when the cart on chowdhury was elected in 2008 instead of addressing the economy he did the affordable care act. he wanted the label obamacare. maria: very similar. kelley, thank you. see you soon. as the president continues to historic trip to cuba, the communist government crackdown on protesters. the

smoke-filled rooms still happens. that's just under twitter account. cheryl: newspeople love it. if there's a bombing in turkey i can get information instantaneously. sometimes faster than our bureau can. that is where twitter has become so amazing. at the same time dangerous because there is a lot of misinformation. there's a lot of -- >> twitter is being used as a market tool. a lot of from start to think that investor sentiment that's happening at twitter to make investment decisions. that is a big deal when you think of twitter is the fact investment decisions across the board. dagen:

full day of spring. 6:30 a.m. on the east coast. historic trup for obama, first president to visit cuba in nearly 90. fox news manny álvarez with his take. donald trump looking to make peace. he's meeting with republican party leaders for the first time today. trump, well, he blamed the other shy. >> i think it's very unfair that these really in many cases professional and in many cases sick protestors can put cars on the roads and blocking americans from coming to speech and nobody says anything about that. maria: key states to watch, arizona, and utah. the top suspect in the paris

average. president obama makes historic three-day to cuba. landing in the island yesterday, just hours before the president landed sunday cuban authorities arrested more than 50 protestors, marching to demand better human rights. my next guest says he's also disappointed but for other reasons. he was born and raised in cuba before moving to the united states and good to see you. >> thank you so much for joining us. we want to hear about the story when you immigrated here and why rudies appointed in. >> you know, this is a historical moment. i was all for changing the embargo rules. after 50 years it has not worked, however, just like trump said, if he was president he wouldn't have made the deal. cuba is getting everything and nothing in return. you saw the 50 ladies that got arrested, you see the story, pictures taken, 50 people, that happens in cuba every day. that has happened in cuba for the last, you know, 40 years and it's all over the country. the cuban society even today gets monitored constantly and i would argue even the cuban government keeps a tab on all the cuban-american americans that are here, they know what i do, the things this i'm saying, it's still a society that's quite controlled by the government. and the whole intention of this whole thing is to make cuba a chinese model. that's all it is. no more -- no less. maria: what is the point? your thoughts on this as well because if we are not getting anything out of this and the human rights remain or lack of remain the way it has been for so long, what are we doing there? >> we are there for barack obama legacy play. i can say i'm the one who opened cuba and you can go and -- maria: he didn't open cuba. >> well, you know -- >> this is something that the president wanted to get in the bucket list. i was the first president in 88 years to get there, and he got it, that's all that really he has done but nothing for the cuban people. kevin: you see of all of the deals and might be open up the economy and help small businesses, you think that can actually take effect? >> a lot of the people that went on the trip, i know them all and very well, i know that for the last year and a half cuban americans and big businesses have been going on islands having private meetings, and they're still trying to get their hands around how to make the deal. now, most of these people are westernized, they know about buying equity and investing money, returns on their money. that's not the model that cuba is ready to do. this whole thing is to try to, okay, just like the starwood deal, run hotels, you don't own the land or the hotels and we will split the revenues and that's as good as it gets. a lot of people need the hand-holding of obama and that's exactly what they're doing to do. it's a straightforward investment, i'm going to hope a hardware store tomorrow, can i do that i'm cuban, i can't do that yet. >> what about the roughly 70 fugitives, convicted cop killer, are they bringing her back to the united states? >> no. [laughter] dagen: if people are disgusted by this deal that's one of the very reasons. >> maria: you came here at what age? i know you have photos. >> i left cuba when i was 12 year's old, i came through a program called peter pan program, at that time the catholic church would help some of the cuban citizens give up their sons and daughters to the cot lick church so that they would be put in foster care. look how cute. look at the hair i used to have. maria: and growing up in cuba, what was it like? >> a simple life in the sense my father was a businessman, we had food on the table and a roof over our heads and good catholic upbringing. cuba is very catholic. i was put in foster care when i got to this country for many years and ultimately -- maria: as far as peter pan program and then my father ended up in labor camp for four years and he had to do that forced labor camp and reunited four or five years afterwards. this is -- maria: he was put in the labor camp because -- because of -- his political ideology to certain degree, you know, in those years it was like north korea. it was very harsh. you made a mistake and said the wrong thing, you get caught, if you get caught with a pound of beef because somebody gave it to you and you couldn't explain it, automatically you went to jail. so it's a very harsh society back in the day. now adays things have changed but still the joke is the biggest failure of the cuban revolution that there's in breakfast, no lunch, and no steak dinner, that's basically what you're dealing. kevin: what do you think that raúl castro didn't visit obama, is that a way to signal the strength? >> it amazes me. two things about that, the whole trip was not really well informed for the cuban people. nobody -- you know, it's not like they rallied, hey, the president is going to be in this avenue, welcome, mr. president. you had white flags, peace is here to stay, none of that. come on. this tells you the whole story. maria: what's that all about? >> they are living in a different planetary system and that's not going to change for a long time. maria: thank you for sharing your story. dagen: you're lucky to live in your orbit. maria: both still with temporary names and suggesting a slew of alternatives. aw. wisconsin fans might have been rejoying, by why is active bill murray expressionless. then airing again on saturday and sunday mornings heaviesed by our own anthony scaramucci and gary. back in a minute. ♪ [engine revs] ♪ ♪ [engine revving] the all-new audi a4 is here. sometimes they just drop in. always obvious. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities. we enable you to reach global markets and drive forward with broader possibilities. cme group: how the world advances. maria: welcome back, the top suspect in last year easter risk attack in paris claims he was plan to go launch new operations from brussels. cheryl casone with the story and the other headlines. cheryl: belgium foreign minister reporting yesterday, police found heavy weapons in the first investigations and they had seen a new network of people around the suspect. this is him. captured friday in police raid in brussels as islam is the only surviving suspect of the november 13th attacks which killed 130 people. a second bald eagle hatching in washington, d.c. baby number two emerged yesterday. two dais after baby number one. they are so cute. parents nicknamed mr. president and first lady have been nesting since october of 2014. and this -- why is bill murray so unhappy? this is him in the stands h. his son luke is an assistant coach, went from happy to sad when wisconsin edged, 6-6-3. the last of them is the buzzer sounded, connected from well beyond the three-point line to tie it with 11.7 seconds remaining. unhappy about the win. maria: wow, i'm not so happy either. my bracket got busted. mr. i told you so told me how horrible the bracket i had. >> i said virginia over michigan state. maria: i said you're on the wrong side. boohoo. >> i was almost in agreement with her but not. maria: but not. dagen: who is the first cheering on the virginia cavaliers. maria: do you have a bracket? >> i do. picking the north carolina-virginia game, a tough personal decision that i don't want to talk about publicly. [laughter] maria: okay. dagen: there you go. >> nice. maria: thank you, cheryl, for bringing that to us by the way. apple will unveil a smaller phone and revamped watch. clay, good morning to you. >> good morning, guys, yeah, maria, i know that you're a fan of the larger giant iphones, which is like the size of your head, they've seen record-breaking iphone sales over the past year, today at town hall which is really one of apple's smaller venue, apple is making a play for the small and rolling out the new iphone, 4-inch phones, people who like to take their phones jogging with them, we are also expecting apple to make smaller ipad pro. and a lot of people claim that's really a niche product because it's so large, well, really their sweet spot maybe the 10-inch pro that we will see today. a lot of big plays. but software, maria, could be the thing that we don't know about today because they are able to keep it behind the walls here and hush, hush. maria, back to you. maria: we were talking about the charge that it doesn't charge as well, the large one that you have and i have as well. are you expecting any changes on the plugs or new charging mechanisms? >> no, when they made the play, that is a new play, they got rid of for 30-gig connector. you're going to see this one for a very long time. i know that you're a big fan of the bigger one, do you think you'll go small? >> maria: no, i'm not going to go small. i like the bigger one. have a great day, my friend. >> thanks, guys. maria: coming up next, call it a spring awakening for stocks, annual losses as recession fears are begin to go fade. is there another storm in the making that could put a winter chill on markets?

>> we are not chasing the oil rally. a lot of what we have seen is technical, it has lifted a big cloud and people feel like the worse is behind us, we are a bit more cautious than that. kevin: if they don't think it's richly valued, it's at least fairly valued. we've seen the dollar get weaker. so what are those dividend names that your talking about that people should get into? >> there are a lot of great dividend stories in places like health care, financials, even technology that offer 3% plus dividend yields and if we are talking about a fed that's moving slower than originally thought, we are at our target. i think that's a smart strategy in today's environment. kevin: for people to position their portfolios now do you want to get ahead of next earning season. maria: we will get the earnings in the first week of april. >> the first-qaur earnings will be difficult. consensus is already there. there's a case for better earnings picture and also oil, oil has seen the bottom, range of 30-45 potentially, you're going to start to see better or less negative earnings in the second half. dagen: better earnings picture offset by the uncertainty of what will be regardless of who the nominees are and intense political race? >> you have the elections, you look at the market today, 16 and a half times earnings, where's the upside? we don't see it that now. maria: there's a back drop here and that's the story of the economy, that's really been the story that's been playing into donald trump and sort of the antiestablishments. >> absolutely, we see the economic anxiety throughout the country. we also get economic bad news coming with it. whether unemployment rate hauls, we see unemployment rates steady or improve a little. there's anxiety throughout the sector. we will get another set of economic news. gdp is not where we want it to be. maria: gdp out friday. >> we made a big call that we weren't going to see a recession . i think we are expecting steady growth of 2% and continuation of solid data. kevin: innestors need to take away that in the past the market was trading at 15 times earnings, right now 16 and a half and 17 with gdp growing at 1%. you have to be very cautious. microsoft is one that's trading at a reasonable price with a high dwend eend. maria: great to see you. next hour while the president tour it is communist state in cuba, marines will be dispatched to iraq. general bob scales will weigh in on that next, back in a minute the heirloom tomato. intensely-flavored. colorfully-diverse. beautifully-misshapen. cultivated for generations, it's the unexpected hero of any dish. when you cook with incredible ingredients... you make incredible meals. fresh ingredients. step-by-step-recipes. delivered to your door. get your first two meals free blueapron.com/cook.

[laughter] >> no, no, there was nobody. can you imagine if i were in that position and i landed and nobody was there, they would say, donald trump must be incompetent to allow a thing like this to happen. so president obama landed in cuba and the head of cuba who was there for the pope and he was there for other dini, the taries that come in but he wasn't there for the president the of united states. maria: joining us republican congressman carlos corbello of florida. thanks for being with us. >> good to be with you. maria: the president is going to meet with young entrepreneurs and attend steak dinner can castro, even catch a baseball game. what's your take on the trip? >> i said that i would ender judgment at the end of it because i'm hopeful something productive and positive can come out, this first day was discouraging. just hours the ladies in white, prominent opposition group in cuba, all woman were harassed in the streets of havana while they were peacefully demonstrated. just a couple of days ago nine cubans died trying to leave the island and make it to the united states meanwhile the president lands for what appears to be, from the images a family vacation in a nation where there are no human rights, where people are rotting away in political prisons. some of the images were disconcerning. maria: no human rights, prisoners are still being held, we are not getting anything out of it. the talk on this set congressman was the fact that this is a trip, like you said, a family vacation for the president and once again the u.s. is on the losing end of this. >> and that is the key question, what can the united states finally, if anything, get in terms of concessions from the cuban government. the list of what we've given is quite long, everything from full diplomatic relations to easying of sanctions to delisting from the safe sponsors of terror, meanwhile the cuban government is harboring fugitives, cop killer, men responsible for the death of american citizens, the cuban government is still responsible for the greatest theft of american property in the history of our country, $7 billion. they're not talking about repaying any of that. they're just asking for more, they want gitmo. i asked the white house in a conversation a couple of weeks ago, look, i disagree with the trip but now that you're going, let's get something for u.s. national security interest out of this, up to now nothing, just some pictures in a rainy havana sunday. kevin: what is the one thing you would like to see the president come back with or get done? if we lived in a perfect world and if he could get one thing, what would it be? >> first national security interest. there are dozen of medicare frosters, they defrauded medicare, millions of dollars, those people are sitting in havana today. why couldn't the first step would be that the cuban government would return those people to face american justice. being a cuban american, i would like to see some improvement on the island, president obama said he would not travel to cuba until there was some substantial improvement in the human rights situation, that has not happened yesterday. he is there. so those are two just basic priorities that i hope we could get out of it. maria: he said that he would not go until doug high, until we saw a change in human rights and obviously we haven't. what is the point of this? >> it's all about barack obama's legacy and he goes down in history as the person who opened up cuba. this is the last gasp of the cold war, a cold war that we won but we are giving the last battle away, folded our cards completely. dagen: it's the photo ops, he is hoping that outweighs the fugitives, the cop killer not being returned who are fugitives from justice, among other problems. >> so obama is getting what he wants, problem is all the things that we take for granted that we can do on our phone, the cuban people can't do. kevin: taxpayers' dollars to do this and $150 billion to iran, and north korea, they want some money, now cuba is wanting more money from us. maria: that's what is empowering donald trump. this narrative of violence, okay, more riots in tucson, arizona. donald's sister received a threatening letter just days after eric trump received a threatening lerd. what's -- letter, what's your take? are you going to meet with donald trump? >> i was not invited to that meeting and i'm not surprised and i'm kind of glad. i supported jeb bush and marco rubio and now i'm just taking a breath and trying to see where all this ends up but the violence is totally unacceptable and from both sides. you have some of the professional protesters that are going to events and insight violence and then on the other side you have donald trump to refuses to condemn violence at the very least should be telling supporters, this type of third-world conduct is unbecoming of american citizen and it's something that people all over the world, much less in our country should be watching on television. so i really put it on both sides, donald trump has repeatedly refused to ask his supporters to stay calm at rallies, to not punch people in the face as he's encouraged them to do thries on one occasion, that's why a lot of republicans like me are looking forward really to the possibility of an open convention where we can truly nominate the best candidate to face off against hillary clinton in the fall. >> congressman, doug, i want to ask what your members are saying in the republican conference meetings tuesday and wednesday morning, what are folks saying to their colleagues in these meetings about what direction they want to see the party go and how is that affecting what you're trying to do with the budget and all the issues that house republicans are trying to move forward with the legislative agenda? >> well, there's a lot of frustration that the conservative message, conservative agenda has been hijacked by this populism. in many ways, i think, this is a result of seven years of opposition to president obama without a clear concise conservative agenda. that's exactly what paul ryan is trying to change. he's trying to make this about ideas, our policy proposals. that's why we are going to be rolling out within the next couple of months, five policy agenda goals with clear ideas specific ideas for the american people to evaluate in the next election. this is something that's been lacking for many years. for many years republicans were content sitting back and watching the president and his party trip and the vacuum of power of leadership and of ideas was created and we are seeing the results of thain this presidential election. maria: all right, congressman, good to have you this morning, sir. we want to bring breaking news. marriot valuing star weapon wood at $13.6 billion. superior to the bid from a group of chinese companies starwood shares up about 3% right now. starwood, marriot already in the deal. raising the offer for starwood after the chinese group of companies, insurance group of companies tried to break up the deal and acquire starwood, really a little hostile situation going on in this hotel industry. kevin: there was a 400 million-dollar breakup fee. it's a big directive for them. i mean, they've acquired brand already. they're going across the globe. marriott already had this in the bag. it's pretty telling what's happening across the space. >> this also speaks to cuba. maria: three hotels in cuba. >> we obviously know that if you're an american property and you own in the past, this is all tieing together. maria: really interesting stuff. that's a great point, doug. thank you, we will take a short break. paris terrorist system says he plans more attacks and vow to go sue french prosecutors, she wants to sue, his swrowt ragous reasoning next. a mall easter bunny with a brawl. you have to see this one. [laughter] >> back in a minute maria: welcome back, iran apparently continuing to use the capture of ten u.s. sailers in january for propaganda value, cheryl casone with the story. unbelievable story. cheryl: i know, you've been following the story as close as i have. iran plans to build a statute of the sailers detained. the monument would be a tourist attraction. it would be directed to small iranian island which happened in january. several police shoot to go tell you about, 24-year-old police officer was shot in the neck and jaw when he was investigating. two sheriff's departments were shot yesterday, one of them was killed. they were shot while serving a warrant. and finally today apple going to be unveiling a smaller iphone, it reportedly will have 4-inch display, apple also expect today take the raps of smaller version of ipad pro . time asking interesting, i don't know, apple and the doj are going to court tomorrow and isn't going to say anything today about the fight with the government. maria: that's sort of front and center. does apple need to say anything? kevin: i don't think they want to draw any attention. they want to focus on products on how committed they are to consumers, stakeholders, they value their privacy, i think they will come out with that statement saying they're a very secured system, people can trust in apple products, i think they're not going to draw too much attention to this. what's interesting about the whole event, apple watch was supposed to be the next big thing and never really gained traction. think about all the swiss watch makers that were tracking out. that's fretty interesting. they're coming out with wristbands. let's see if they can fix the watch situation. dagen: can we point to the arrest of the paris suspect, the electronic devices on him and the electronic trail that they will be able to follow to uncover interactions with other terrorists, and that shines a light on what apple is not doing for the justice department with the san bernardino phone, the longer they wait the less valuable the information is. maria: for sure. president obama repeatedly vow nothing troops on the ground in the middle east, so why is the u.s. military dispatching more marines to iraq right now? the latest on the war on terror next. batman versus superman, the dawn of justice, a crowd of excited fans, guess what? i was one of them. wait till you hear who i got to meet last night.

promise of not sending troops in iraq. >> it's more effect toif use our capabilities to help partners on the ground secure their own country's futures. you know, we have the finest military in the world and we have the finest military minds in the world and i've been meeting with them intensively for years now discussing these various options and it is not just my view but the view of my closest military and civilian advisers that that would be a mistake. maria: joining me now fox news robert scales. thank you very much for joining us. your take away from this. marines now headed to iraq. >> well, i mean, the united states gave up active military ground role against isis in 20111. the rules of engagement means that we are there to advise, to assist, to hold the hands of the iraqi military but not to do anything that's going to break the back of isis. this particular part of the face of the antiisis is over. the president wants to see this wind down. it could be from anything from 4 to 20 marines, it's not going to make a whole lot of difference or make the soldiers any more effective or ineffective now. maria: how would you characterize military presence at this point? we have been discussion on the set all morning about the trip to cuba. this is more about the president just wanting to check a box, i'm the one opening the box with cuba and what are we in our 20th month in terms of air strikes, how is that going? >> well, first of all, an already air campaign has been throttled back even more in recent months. no, i think your block-checking analogy is a good one. he came into office promising to end two wars in the middle east, they're actually probably worst now than they were eight years ago and the trip to cuba to diffuse national security tensions and the number one threat on the president's agenda is climate change rather than isis because climate change doesn't shoot back. dagen: general, new president come january, what changes, you think? has damage been done to our position on the world stage? >> i don't think there's any question about that, dagen. i mean, who are we looking to bring on our side? turkey, that's not going to happen. jordan, no they're sick of us, saudi arabia, they're very skeptical, we either do it ourselves and do it in conjunction with the iraqi military. i tried to people that are trying to get the iraqi military off the dime, it's not happening in this administration. no, the only way we are going to break the back of isis is to take mosul and the city of raqqa. that requires major commitment of allied forces, what this administration wants to do is weight it out and despite of what the president says about all the wave of support, i can assure that those that i talk to in pent gone, that simply is the case. >> one quick question, obviously russia is now declared that their operations in syria have been successful. where do you see that going with the u.s. shrinking back from syria? >> i mean, first of all, he's had a battleground that he can prove and demonstrate to the world, this new military competence coming out of nowhere, change it had subject away from the ukraine, used migrants as a weapon against the eu, the rest of the world is cheering over his success and now he's a peacemaker because he's the one who is pulling out of syria and going to the negotiating table. no, this is a peace -- piece of national strategic brilliance from leaders today. he's diabolical and evil. maria: we appreciate your time this morning. general bob scales. tomming up the terrorist at

sue, french prosecutors, for kweech of confidentiality, for revealing that he backed out of his suicide mission, the last minute, joining us now is fox senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano good to see you -- >> i know we are chuckling seemed absurd by our american standards, but a criminal defendant as to whom evidence having masterminded a mass murder trifrt attack evidence of you will get when overwhelming would sue prosecutors, but the european legal climate is radically different from ours i am sorry to tell you that this is a lawsuit that will be taken seriously, so here -- here is his argument. he was captured in belgium by belgium police, he waived right to remain silent started singing like a bird in singing like a bird told belgian police prosecutors i did it i did it i did it i was supposed to kill myself chickened out last manipulate at the thel tell colleagues in france tell the press isis dispatched him knows he is knew traitor a turncoat to isis because he refused to kill himself, now he is a marked man, now he is believe it or not, safer in belgium or french jail than he would bn o the lamb where he would be killed but the privacy laws in europe, are different than here. and you can sue a prosecutor, who breaches your privacy, by releasing something before the court authorized it to be released, such a litigation would never be taken seriously here, at any o other handed i don't think a leak would happen we interrogate in private the police pass in a information to prosecutors they decided when they are going to release. >> that is extraordinary. >> a trial imagine if he sits in a courtroom prosecutor is the defendant, i don't know that that is ever going to happen but the kourlths wicourt seriously. maria: a marked man targeting americans. >> problem trying to sue showing not a big bad terrorist as he expects, like i went out i can't even do it, so even isis now probably like you are not even one of us. >> maybe perhaps in lawsuit, he is going to deny that he said what the prosecutors released to the press so to give cover with isis friends but will know about whrnt he was a dispatched there to kill himself they know he obviously didn't kill himself. >> can we talk about the most appalling thing the level of support getting from friends, family, and the ecosystem around him to keep on the lam that we talked about. >> it is a crime in europe as it is here have to harbor a known fugitive and the belgian police probably should pursue people who did that. this is not a case looking the other we, rome not a crime to fail to report a crime, except for treason not getting into technicalities of that but it is a crime to hide someone from the government, when you know that the government is pursuing. >> aiding and abetting a fugitive. >> yes. >> i was a in france but the street, and where the shoot-out was if you go to those places i will is still law tender sad, and one of the things we kind of lose sight on privacy rights fugitives still serious issues out there trying to find more fugitives those who harborrowed them large support network. >> you are both right this is also a cultural social as well as a legal program the belgian authorities are ignorant what is going on in certain neighborhoods in brussels just as it is par resean authorities have been ignorant of neighborhoods in paris when i say what is going on i am talking about foreign people plotting to kill locals, or hiding those, as to whom everybody in europe most wanted person in europe in any would claim they didn't know the police were pursuing them. >> we don't know full value of the information, that authorities potentially find on this -- this man's electronic devices but do you think that more of this puts pressure on apple to cooperate in some way with the justice department, we got the court hearing tomorrow. >> i know the court hearing is tomorrow, i know you know because we've talked about this so many times that i staunchly on side of apple and the apple fbi dispute has created strange bedfellows. >> the secretary of defense, apple, the director of the -- director cia on side of apple. >> general haden on the side of apple. >> general petraeus. >> jim woozy ran cia in the clinton years, i will tell you this, the intelligence community quietly lobbying members of congress i don't know what they are saying but the end of the private lobby even national security hawks senator lindsey graham have copy to the microphone saying i am on side of pay don't want to can he to exist the

comparison about device because what happened san bernardino wiped the phone that is the problem, government cleaned it and wiped it up, and it was they bungled. >> it changed password. >> this is the future of investigations not just terror but all criminal investigations, these phones the government will never be able to get them -- >> government -- may be would be the be able to even get access to the information on the cloud, because apple now wants to encrypt that. >> you are right. >> dagen is right can i have a last word. >> go ahead in in belgium, fingerprint by a fingerprint, not by anything you said on the phone, old-fashioned shoe-leather police work. >> i like it. >> you talked to nunez, my old boss wake forest graduate they will tell you this country has never been more vulnerable to future twookz since 9/11 this is where we are information from apple both want to do or a fingerprint. >> call your old boss, because he said he was going to introduce legislation, to allow fbi to order the key, not doing it. >> i mean. >> discuss a of a lobbying from intelligence committee. >> want them in the pocket of business. >> that is another story. >> apple's lobbyist -- >>

national committee chairwoman debbie wasserman shuttles thanks for joining us. >> pleasure. >> we are in middle of an incredible election how important is tomorrow, what are your thoughtsed on expectations? >> well, i mean we are at the point in primary where, on our side, of course, every contest is important, on the republican side, last tuesday really was the -- the hard stop essentially, they have made donald trump all but thank you presumptive nominee you know there is a lot of chaos and debate on whether he is hijacked the republican party, this is six years in the making explosion of the tea party tea party in 20 so made a bed lying in it now, and -- it is it is the responsibility of the republican party they need to own it. >> some people would say it is 6 or 7 years in the making peel the people rolled over by president obama that is who created donald trump. >> oh, please, this republicans have been, in the majority, innet house senate since 2010, and they've been -- he they've declared from day one, inauguration they would make him president do everything to stop him, mantra has been to be an objects cal in path of pro in in spite of the object colonels we added 20 million people have health insurance made 72 months of private sector growth cut deficit. >> i can push back on a number of things obamacare all those people insured many people most people in fact, who will come on this program if managers of business ceo's will say costs way out of line actually keeping, employees at certainly level so they don't have to offer -- >> you know as well as anyone there were at least 15% increases in premiums every year for same businesses in many cases, costs have been reduced, and particularly when you talk about people didn't have a health insurance, couldn't go to doctor when sick, you addressed the cost shifting that has taken place so that taxpayers are not on the hook for the people who used to go to the hospital and use emergency room as primary access point for health care is in a we know senator clinton says we are not going to take this apart we want to build on this, let me ask you about senator clinton, and congresswoman, senator bernie sanders take tag shot at superdelegates the process on there this i want to get your reaction to it for what bernie sanders says. >> -- whole concept stupor delegation is problematic, but i would say that in states where we have won you know, by 20, 25 points, you know what? i think it might be good idea for super delegates to listen to people in their own state. >>. >> your thoughts debbie the fact is people are questioning, it if bernie sanders is winning the particular vote in a lot of contests but hillary clinton has delegates in pocket feels like she is -- at an advantage creating a process that is just not fair. >> let's be clear super delegation unpledged danglings don't vote until convention in no won's pocket there have been many times particularly in 2008 where they changed minds throughout the process, the purpose of surley delegation, by the way, never are a determining factor who nominee is since in place since 1948 to maker, that partivists who want to be delegates to the convention, don't have to run, against much better known and well established people, at the district level, so you want to make sure, that -- delegations are diverse, and in addition to that we want to honor the contributions of long time party elected officials pleerdz so they can participate as delegates as welcome. >> let me ask you this, this super delling controversies one part of overall sort of pressure on you useful come under fire yourself for a number of reasons. >> -- >> in job description, but the number of debates that you've had putting debates on saturday night basically burying them, another democrat said to me i wanted a better choice i don't like sanders i don't like clinton, but they are stuffing this down my throat debbie wasserman shuttles in particular stuffing hillary clinton down throats as coronation. >> is there anything more ludicrous than suggesting party chair decides who runs for president. >> you have to decide on number of debates when debates are. >> sure do i. >> you do a good job on that? >> i think not only did i do a good job we took on the step when candidates asked of with one another about adding more debates we have had 8 debates numerous. >> you added debates. >> sure we did once consensus i can't force candidates to debate. is to we build consensus on schedule what we did, by the way, those saturday night sunday night, 9:00 is the biggest viewing viewer ship in prime time, so he the sunday night debate ratings bonanza the neshgz most of our debates have been on determine what nights they are willing to give us most will not give up prime time doctoring the week. >> what is your take about the low voter turnout on democratic side voter turnup way up on republican side. >> we don't have low voter turnout in fact. >> it is below where you were -- last election. >> because we've had two candidates they have had massive chaos on other side. >> nobody feels like he got a shot at all -- >> you have to earn a the support that your candidacy motivates people to give you we basically had two candidacy nearly in many cases, matched voter turnout of 1, and then -- 17, 11, 8 candidacy now 5 and 4 we are very proud of the turnout that we've had, and if you look at the contrast between two sets of candidates our it does talking about how to make people reach the help people research middle class republicans are talking about the size of people's hands, and their manhood. >> be clear also talking about tax reform talking about national security. >> they are talking about going back to the to their version of the glory days plunged us in george w. bush situation in worst economic crisis since great depression. >> to raise taxes 1.1 trillion dollars you don't think that is going to impact the economy. >> our candidates want to move tarred with the policies the president obama has catapult in place that i allowed us to have longest sustained period private sector job growth in history to make sure we continue to -- take a balanced approach, to spending cuts, and taxi reforms sociowe can make sure everybody pays fair share everybody gets a fair shot that you can get a good job that pays you well get a good education that is not going to -- won't be paying off until you are in 50s. >> this notion of paying your fair share, what bothers me about this if you are in the highest income bracket you are paying more than 50%, and for you to just constantly say paying fair share when talking about a portion of people if it is carried interest you are talking about is really inaccurate. >> the test policy of the republicans is to go back to trickle down economics and focus like george w. bush unfade cuts for the wealthiest americans in 2001, 2003 plunged us into -- deficit that we are in. >> you are not looking at vibrant economy gdp expected to grow 1% when it comes out friday you think the policies of the democrats have worked when of you got gdp that is barely even moving right now. >> vibrancy is relative a a heck of lot more vibrant than it was when republicans were in charge if you listen to my respect colleagues in congress they should i we should turn about medicare into voucher system more tax breaks to wealthy we believe should be balance where american people are one of our candidates will be the 45th president of the united states. maria: we got to talk about tbi investigation around hillary clinton there is a plan b, if she does get indicted. >> i agree with second clinton the suggestions this is any issue to this at the end of the day are ludicrous, and who ever our nominee is is going to be elected, because the voters understand that our candidacy have their backs our candidacy understand that we need to continue to make the economic progress we've made not go backyards. >> i saw your interview with megyn kelly a while back she asked you same thing you said you believed republicans were being vulgar inactions at debates kelly responded with republicans response lin to this. >> yes, it has gotten is a little vulgar on gop side non is facing the threat of indictment. >> there is no one facing the threat of indictment on our eyed either megyn -- >> he openly do.j. fbi vacation into mississippi clinton right now. >> let's not be mellow dramatic. >> those are tfacts. >> predicting, that there is is one facing indictments is definitely mellow dramatic. >> it is just is what it is right the doj fbi investigating hillary clinton. >> that is an investigation, period. there is -- there is no suggestion that we are anywhere near that the suggestion that megyn had, that the question that she got, during the univision debate i want thought she was right to say, she is comfortable one hundred percent confident that there is no issue there that she has been completely transparent and handled the e-mail process correctly, and according to the letter of the law. >> let me ask you jim comey has said that he wanted -- wander. >> she actually said if she had to go back do it again would not have used private e-mail but in terms of of what she was doing compliance that she was compliant. >> i don't think it is only using private e-mail but also having a server she made the case in the past that, secretaries of state of gmail accounts she is only one had a investor in her basement. >> she has really 55,000 pages of e-mails this election is not about hillary clinton's e-mails here spent bernie sanders said that it is whether or not we are going to be able to help people, who feel like they are not on the firm of the ground have more confidence be able to make sure they can help kids be better off, and make sure that they can reach the middle class. >> i have got to ask this question jim comey wants to wrap this investigating up promptly that tells me that it is sort of nearing the -- the closure we all know that fbi does not finish an investigation without questioning the person involved. has hillary clinton been asked to speak to the fbi. >> i have no knowledge s whatsoever about that, i am focused on. >> will she speak to the fbi when asked to go speak to them? >> those are questions that you have to ask each of -- hillary clinton, and anyone associated with her team, you know. i am doing my job as member of congress first and foremost representing my district making sure that we can get ready, while this primary is unfolding to maker we launch nominee from philadelphia to the white house. >> clear you are favoring hillary clinton what do you want to say to by those. >> there is no shred of evidence to suggest i am favoring hillary clinton if i wanted to go, not doing very good job wrapping no mores for her if favoring hillary clinton i could have worked a lot harder at it if that were what i was doing. there is no evidence to that effect if i want to support a particular candidate would i do exactly that not be the chair and support a candidate but i truly believe that my time is best spent making sure that i can get our party ready to make sure we can continue the progress that we have made under barack obama economic property the social justice progress human rights civil rights progress all rolled back if we were to elect god forbid donald trump who has he is espoused most un-american vitriolic misogynistic vile policies of any presidential candidate in more than time. >> what is your reaction to howell would bernie sanders is doing. >> i am thrilled any time we have a democratically candidate who is bringing more enthusiasm and activists into the party that is fantastic going to bode well for when we launch our nominees in philadelphia, who ever it is, so that we can make sure we garner that support this is a much less defies primary than 2008, and we unified elected barack obama will do so again with our nominee. >> good to have you on the program thank you so much for joining us. >> am i pleasure. >> we'll be right back. maria: welcome back, north korea launching missiles cheryl casone with that and headlines right now good morning. cheryl: well good morning, maria north korea military says it fired

>> i am doing well, and great to be with you monday morning. >> i want to talk about tomorrow, obviously, arizona, utah really important first your thoughts on debbie wasserman shuttles and that interview we just had. >> [laughter] >> well look debbie has to go around say she doesn't know anything about the investigation doesn't know anything about fbi doesn't know anything about this and that she is really neutral except for skeldz debates to favor hifrl i didn't think a very strong performance but she has some very big challenges, and you know she is -- her front-runner a candidate may well be indicted by fbi, that happens she may suddenly have a new set of candidacy in the race has a lot to preside over. >> doesn't seem plan b, discussing potential of indictment, she just continues to push forward hillary she is coming under fire debbie wasserman schultz a quote from timothy professor at shepard broad law college he said debbie wasserman shuttles failed in position as dnc chair, that she has tipped the scales in favor of hillary clinton's presidential campaign and made sure virtually non would she primarily debates standing in way of the progressive movement even dems upset with her. >> i think that is right she he does have the possibility you end up with elizabeth warren as nominee if there was a vacuum i think chaos nirl kiss indicted i don't think could continue to campaign even for clintons being dyed would be a lot would basically disqualify her as presidential candidate. >> in panel mr. speaker we don't want to get into donald trump nooufks attacks against his family continues now donald trump's sister got targeted over the weekend receiving a threatening he letter one day after his son eric trump received a suspicious letter white pow inside reaction to attacks. >> people look at madison wisconsin a youtube video out reminds people how hostile how many death threats there were governor walker's wife got a letter said if your husband continues you are going to become a widow i think he got 80 threats doctoring that period, there were, hundreds of thousands of people brought in by unions, it was a very birther harsh time, the fact is when you have a candidate who directly threatens the left, the left goes berserk, and you saw that over the weekend, in -- in arizona, where they stopped you know blocked being highways i believe that is not sustainable, and i think that the police have an absolute to who are engaged in that kind of behavior. maria: dagen when is fault is all this violence you know, one question, that i would have liked to get with debbie wasserman shuttles is it the dems? donald trump keeps killing a it bernie's people? what do you think? dagen: definitely so he can organized groups behind it move moveon.org claim they organized some of this violence when you lay hands on somebody the person laying the hands, it is the person committing the act the act, and i call out the democratic candidacy everybody on the left, they can be as allowed as donald trump, telling people, not to act out at rallies. >> but mr. -- but congressman mr. speaker i want to ask you though do you think trump needs to at least the change some of his language, or some of his tactics on twitter if he wants to within. >> i think trump has to make transition from a rationalbly successful insurgent candidate used intensity to build momentum nobody thought possible has to make transition to being a potential president he has to decide does he want to be goldwater or mcgovernoren win nomination lose badly or likeable reagan broaden pail no question he has to make that transition will be fastnating tonight giving first ever, written text to aipac tonight, and i think that is a deliberate effort to start looking more presidential interesting to watch see how he does in substance and style, this is not a guy who delivered very many speeches. >>. >> mr. speaker, there is a lot of talk about being an open convention do you think there is a way that donald trump gets the nomination should there be an open convention doesn't have over 1,000 delegates? >> no, i think he has got to have at least 1,000 to 11ion range, remember you end primaries in early june you have about 6 weeks, this is a guy who made pretty good living, as a salesman,and a pretty good negotiating i suspect you will see a lot of scrambling at that point depends how close cruz is behind him how big a bloc of votes kasich has been able to amass, a lot of things could happen in that. >> you want to jump? >> quickly there speaker how do you think if trying to make that steals pich will be able to do so given not just campaign unconventional but he doesn't have a lot of delegate workers certainly convention works will do that work that you normally see from candidacy in this obviously unprecedented situation? >> well that is not what i hear. my good friend randy chairs convention cloudy union georgia over weekend over half people biggest republican county in georgia, over half the people who came there were brand-new never to a convention before, he said both the cruz and turnover teams well organized, and knew what they were doing, had been knew the rules and so forth so actually remarkably positive convention, and -- i think in that sense the trump people in fact have been working on this they do it differently than cruz people do, but, again, trump is a guy knows how to organize very large projects, and this is -- to him, of i think this is another very large project. >> what do you think comes out of this meeting today with trump, and republican leaders? >> who knows? >> yeah. >> i think it is a good thing i think good thing it is happening this is i thought was very good that he talked to paul brian he talked to mitch mcconnell i think a sign beginning to recognize, you can't just be loan ranger as president or candidate you've got to assemble a team senator jeff segs put this together working hard to try to build a real bridge between trump and washington elected issue officials. >> is there still a road for ted cruz. >> sure this is not over look at tomorrow's results trump is going to come in third for the first time in any primary this year, utah clearly, mormons zailtd against minimum a mormon action in arizona tomorrow could be up theres if that happens it is a different race however if trump wins arizona and cruz wins utah i think we are still drifting towards a trump nomination. >> tomorrow could be a big spoiler big day always good to see you new zealand thanks so much. >> good to see you -- >> stay with us we will be right back. eel like you're trying to wrangle a hurricane. the rest of the time, they're asleep. then one day, hr schedules a meeting with you out of the blue. and it's the worst 19 minutes of your career. but you don't sweat it because you and your advisor have prepared for this. and when the best offer means you're moving to the middle of nowhere, the boys say they hate the idea. but you pretend it's not so bad. and years later at thanksgiving, when one of them says what he's thankful for most, is this house, you realize you didn't plan for any of this you wouldn't have done it any other way. with the right financial partner, progress is possible. .. maria: welcome back dear i maria bartiromo. monday, march 21st. 8:30 a.m. on the east coast. president obama the first to visit cuba and 90 years. it is not without controversy. senior managing health and your cuban immigrant dr. mary alvarez is here coming up with more on his take in donald trump to make peace that he will meet with leaders for the first time in months. more protests erupted that events over the weekend. he's blaming the other side. the mac i think it's very unfair that these really professional and in many cases say protesters put cars in about with thousands of great americans and nobody says anything about that. maria: this ahead of the primaries and caucuses tomorrow. the key states arizona and utah. the top suspect in the paris terror attack is planning new attacks out of brussels it was captured in a police raid, but his lawyer says the press liked his planning to sue a french prosecutor. apple set to review the latest round of the eighth and show why bigger is not always better. we will take you to cupertino, california for a preview of the new products coming out good the market has completely reversed course in the last 20 minutes and now looks negative at the start of training. economic data like new home sales is later than the gdp report in durable goods orders. we are in a holiday shortened week. markets close on friday for the good friday holiday. starwood, the hotel chain that did a higher takeover bid for marriott. marriott is raising its bid to the new upper values $13.6 billion after the chinese group of companies last week tried to upset the starwood marriott proposal. president obama set to meet with ralph castro today becoming the first u.s. president to visit cuba in 90 years. this is part of obama's administration to restore diplomatic ties. former american aid worker in prison in cuba for five years at his card or congress to lift the trade embargo on cuba appeared to be executed prisoner allen gross joins us right now. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, maria. maria: what would you like to see come out of the trip? >> well, i think exposure of the cuban people to american leadership is an excellent opportunity and the president is a role model for many people. so i ain't the cuban people will be given the opportunity or the hope of opportunity. maria: it's a big deal. opportunity or the hope of opportunity. the situation in terms of human rights in cuba. it was remote from the state department listed a sponsored terrorism that there is the obama administration has published his series of rule changes allowing his businesses to export product to cuba not rigorous enough in the chase for the cuban people. >> well, that's not entirely true. since the president issued an executive order in his first term used in restrictions on remittances, a lot more money has flowed into the private vector and has responded by accusing some restrictions on the private sector on two occasions. and so today we have a scenario where 11% of the cuban workforce works in the private sector and they are no longer dependent on the government of cuba for their livelihood. it's not what we want? if not what many people in washington have been screwing her for so many years? maria: let's talk about your story for a moment. you would show by the castro government in 2009 for importing banned satellite communication equipment to cuba as part of a u.s. effort to help cubans get online. you are freed in december 14 as part of a swap to pave the way for the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between havana and washington. can you tell us about your story? >> well, it wasn't a very happy five years from the cuba. it was really terrible. maria: what was that like? has terrible been separated from my family. losing freedom is an incredible ex-variants, not even able to go out type and the freedom to do anything. i could only exercise -- get my 10,000 steps by walking around in circles for essentially five years. but now i'm a happy camper. i'm home with my family and friends and i can walk great distances in a straight line and it's really pretty good. maria: what has changed in cuba from your sin point? >> will first of all, internet is now legal for coupon is. it was legalized in june 2013. the cost of internet access comes even if the service is not really a great service, but the cost of the service mark from $6 an hour to work it in hour. now it's $2 an hour. the government of cuba has been opening up internet centers around the island and created wi-fi hot thoughts for those with smart and to use. i think that is an incredible development. it doesn't excuse the government or big ears -- for 55 years of bad experience, but it shows that they are taking somewhat of a pragmatic approach. my view is that information is food for the brain. information and access should be a human rights should reconsider to human made. the government of cuba is just turning to realize that without food for the brain permit development is awarded in their development economically in has been tremendously thwarted. not by the embargo, but by their own policies. maria: so what policies do you want to see changed? sealock well, you know, 11% of the workforce in cuba is in the amount, which means the government of cuba is turning to get out of the list of the private sector can leverage. our government needs to do the same thing and lift the embargo. maria: the ascii or what dr. manny told us earlier. earlier we spoke with many alvarez, best known as the senior health editor but also a cuban émigre. here's what he told us about the president's trip. >> a cuban society even today gets monitor can't relate. i would argue even the cuban government keeps a tab on all the cuban americans that are here. they know the things that i'm saying. it is still a society that is quite controlled by the government. maria: allen, are used to be monitored? >> here? if i'd be monitored, it is by our government, not theirs. maria: aegis of cubans in america are being monitored. >> he said cuban-americans. he didn't specify location. maria: okay. you don't think you're being monitored?
