the warning just a few hours ago cutting u.s. economic growth forecasts by more than half over the next couple of months. and be it gets worse. both are warning that we are, quote, dangerously close to a recession. stu varney of the fox business network is here now with analysis. stu, what does this mean? >> okay. megyn, jpmorgan is saying that we've got a 40% chance of going into recession. now, follow this through a little bit. it doesn't just mean we're going to have high unemployment living with us for a long time to come, it also means -- dig deeply here -- it also means that our debt and deficit situation will get a whole lot worse. the government is assuming that we're going to grow 3, maybe 4%, and that would, indeed, shrink the deficit a little. jpmorgan saying hardly any growth at all. that would mean that the deficit would get even bigger than it is now. because less money comes into the treasury, more money goes

out in social services. now, if deficit gets bigger, that means we're in an even worse position with s&p and the ratings agencies because they downgraded because of our rotten debt situation. it also means that the president's jobs plan and that supercommittee have a lot more work to do to get the deficit down. a shrinking economy or a static economy means a much worse debt problem. megyn: the government is projecting 3-4% growth as a basis for what figures? >> okay. they say we're going to have 3 or 4% growth in the future, between 3 and 4%, that's what their projection is. based on that rate of growth, they say that our deficit will come down a little from this year's $1.65 trillion because a reasonable growth rate means a smaller deficit. that's been reversed. if jpmorgan's right and we're at a standstill or maybe going into a recession, you will not get a smaller deficit, you'll get a

bigger deficit -- megyn: how does the government come up with such different numbers from, you know, jpmorgan? >> well, they have to. they have to make these projections. that's what the government does. they've got various economic agencies which have to project into the future -- megyn: do they have a weight on the scale? i work for the obama administration, so i want to make the forecast more rosy in the an election year, or are these independent government economic analysts who are legitimately trying to tell us they think 3-4% growth? >> there is an element of politics right in there, but they've only got the figures and equations which they've got to work with. if treasury says, hey, look, this is going to be the spending, this, that and the other, they create the equation, that's the numbers they are given. they come up with a growth rate of 3 or 4%. they make assumptions that the stimulus plan would have worked, the extra spending would have worked, they make the assumption that it's going to be 3 or 4% growth. jpmorgan is saying, you're wrong. much less than that, much worse deficit. megyn: they're talking about 1%

growth in the fourth quarter. i mean, that is -- >> and a recession would be even worse. but that, of course, which would mean you'll be thrown into a deficit of way beyond $1.6 trillion. megyn: wow. it raises a lot of questions. stu varney, thank you. well, to add to that bad news, there are reports now of layoffs in the future for thousands of bank of america employees. the financial firm struggling under the weight of bad mortgage assets this year, preparing to cut an additional 3500 jobs. that's on top of more than 2,000 they've already cut to date. since the beginning of the year, the bank of america stock price has fallen from about $15 to about $7. one executive promising customers the bank will remain competitive and efficient while trying to manage its expenses. and take a look at this picture. these are the thousands of out of workmen and women who turned up yesterday to a job fair in atlanta. look at that line. just look at that. rook at these -- look at these

folks. they just want a job. suffering through extreme heat and an eight-hour line just for the chance to get an interview. take a listen. >> probably about four and a half hours actually outside in the sun, and then there was still about another hour to hour and a half of indoor waiting. this was an investment in my future. this was an all-day investment, and my next job -- megyn: wow. more than 100 companies and organizations were represented at the event which was hosted by the congressional black caucus. the line into the building was so long about 600 people were left standing outside. emergency crews had to respond to several calls for heat-related illness. and, you know, look at that line. the next time you're complaining about your job or you have something to moan about because you had to stay late or you didn't like something your boss said, just remember that. remember the situation so many of our fellow americans are in today. they'd love to have the problems, those of us who are employed have. so best of luck to them. well, gop presidential

candidate and texas governor rick perry slamming the president on the economy today. chief political correspondent campaign be carl cameron has got the latest on that. carl? >> reporter: hi there, megyn. well w the news from jpmorgan and citicorp, the republicans are just going to bear down even more. it puts a lot of wind in the republicans' sails. rick perry took a couple of days in new hampshire, and today he's in south carolina, and he's playing up his status as a veteran. military families make up a big part of the gop vote, and an evangelical conservative, christian -- they also make up a big part of the group voting down in south carolina. but where he's grabbing the most attention is when the texas governor goes after president obama. he touts texas' job creation, 730,000 new job net created, and he casts president obama's job creation record in historic terms. listen to this. >> this is the president of the united states that has killed

more jobs in america than i think any president in the history, certainly in my lifetime. [applause] i think the only job he cares about is the one he's got. [laughter] >> reporter: very tough stuff from the governor of texas, and south carolina's emerging as a major battleground for the conservative standard in the republican primary. jon huntsman's competing in if new hampshire with mitt romney, they're considered more moderate than in of these -- many of these. look for michele bachmann and be rick perry to have a huge battle in south carolina. bachmann today also in south carolina, and she, too, railing against the president. she brings the crowd to their feet everywhere she goes with her phrase that her candidacy will make barack obama a one-term president. there will be a lot more of that. the candidates are running against each other, but they are absolutely in sync when it comes to pounding president obama for

the state of the nation's economy. megyn: carl cameron, thank you. fox news alert, moments ago police wrapping up a news conference on their new search for a utah mom who's been missing since 2009. investigators say the renewed interest sparked by credible new evidence. her husband is a person of interest in this case, and he claims he last saw her before leaving on a camping trip with their two children in the middle of the night in the middle of a snowstorm. alicia acuna live in denver with more. >> reporter: hi, megyn. there was a press conference that was called by west valley city police out of utah, and they traveled to the location where they say they have new evidence that is credible and important enough that they are launching a whole new search, and they are in neighboring nevada. right now about 40 investigators and police officers from utah are in ely, nevada, 250 miles southeast of where susan powell

was last seen in her home in west valley city in december of 2009. there was a court-ordered seal on evidence in the case, and therefore, police say they are limit today what they can do and cannot say much today. so today after 20 months since the 28-year-old mother of two vanished, police called a news conference. but when it began, they told reporters they couldn't tell them much at all except to say that the media was invited to go with investigators, something not typical at all in a case like this. reporters asked certain gent mike powell while investigators were inviting the media to tag along. >> that's a very good question. we, i think the best way for me to answer that is we felt it was important for us to try and involve to the extent that we're able to the media in the process. this has been a very long and active ongoing investigation for quite some time. >> reporter: those covering it said it was one of the strangest they'd ever been to. no word yet from josh powell, susan's husband, who her parents

have casted a large shadow of doubt over and his alibi that he had taken their two very young children to camp in the mountains. and according to reporters on the ground, megyn, the first area they're going to search is a gravel pit in the area. back to you. megyn: alicia, thank you. a stunning twist in the shooting death that we have been covering here on "america live" in connection with this new jersey couple. police just announced that this young pakistani mother in new jersey, well, now they believe they know who did it. in three minutes, we'll show you who is now charged in connection with her brutal murder as she was strolling her 3-year-old child home. and new claim that is the administration is giving a free pass to millions of illegal immigrants in the united states. why some are calling a new policy approved by the president back door amnesty. plus, nasa scientists are now -- [laughter] would you look at our screen?

megyn: fox news alert, breaking news in the bizarre and tragic case of a young mother gunned down on a quiet suburban new jersey street. moments ago police announcing murder charges against the victim's husband. who was also shot in the altercation. and the arrest of a woman who lives in boston. take a listen to the local county prosecutor. >> the husband gave an account that there was a white male, three black males, eventually at a certain point in time, and various conflicting accounts who had yelled out racial epithets and called them terrorists. eventually, it was determined that he was responsible for the causing of the murder of his wife. this is miss be antinet steven, and this is the husband, these are the two suspects. megyn: wow. here's the background as we know it. around 11 p.m. be on tuesday night the victim and her husband went for an after dinner walk with their 3-year-old child in a

stroller. that's when someone shot and killed the beautiful young mother, and the man now suspected in connection with her death, her husband who was walking with her, was also shot but suffered only minor injuries, we're told. joining me now on the phone a reporter who's been covering this case extensively, dan goldberg. he's a reporter with the newark star ledger. dan, thanks for being here. so now they believe that the husband was behind it. let me just ask you, what were the extent of his injuries? because we heard conflicting reports that he was really injured, now we hear it was just superficial wounds which was one of the clues. >> yeah. they were superficial wounds from the beginning which was one of the clues that led police to disregard his initial statements about terrorists or three men. she had been shot pretty much at point-blank rage, and can he suffered only minor injuries. megyn: what do they believe was the motive? >> they're not saying yet, but apparently the prosecutor's office have said the husband and

this woman had been platting this for some time. we're not sure of the relationship between the two, but her name is on a mailbox at an apartment the couple shared in boston. megyn: meaning the married couple or -- >> an two net's name is on the -- megyn: so we don't know if they think she was is shooter or an affair partner to him or both. >> right. we're not entirely sure yet. the working theory is that she was the shooter. she was arrested around the same time by u.s. marshals in boston. megyn: now, there is an allegation of infidelity on his part, correct? apparently, he was arrested six months ago for allegedly assaults a woman who he said had been unfaithful to him, but we're not talking about his wife. he was saying some other woman with was unfaithful to him, correct? right. he was arrested in boston. the woman in question whose name was not released by police was 20 years old. there had been some sort of

altercation, he allegedly slapped her and pushed her, but the charges were dropped when she failed to show up for court. megyn: is this woman 20 years old? >> we're not sure yet. megyn: okay. so it may or may not be the same person. now we're learning details about how the victim in this case anticipated her own death and how she sent an e-mail to a friend that, basically, predicted that she'd live inside fear of this guy. i just want to put it on the screen. this is what she allegedly wrote to her friend or to her relative. quote: megyn: she went on to say kashi doesn't want to be with me, he abuses me. this is going to be, potentially, critical to the authorities, i imagine, dan. >> very ominous text given what eventually occurred. as the days unfolded since the shooting, her family and his family learned about several lies that he had told. he had mentioned that he had

received a master's from columbia university and was entering a ph.d. program at harvard. both of those appear to be not true, neither harvard, nor columbia has any record of him. her sister said he did have degrees hanging on the wall, so he has at least faked out his own family and her family. megyn: one of the family members described him as a pathological liar and said his life was a sham. now we know he was at least allegedly involved with another woman, and can i just ask you before i let you go, dan, do we know what superficial wounds are? i'm curious as to exactly how he was injured. >> with we've heard conflicting reports, but the latest we heard was there was one shot to the shoulder and possibly one to the ankle. megyn: that just seem to be the tell in so many cases. it's always the shoulder or some place that's not really going to be a potentially mortal wound. and that raids all sorts of red flags for police when the other victim is so, you know, shot

four times point-blank range in a way that obviously proves fatal. dan, thank you for the latest. >> thank you very much. megyn: obviously, this man is not yet guilty, he is presumed innocent under the eyes of the law, but police believe they have their man. well, the president today completely rewrote the rules for how we handle illegal immigrants, and these are folks who have already been arrested, who are in custody and identified as being here illegally. and he did it all by executive order. reaction from both sides in if three minutes. plus, major league baseball blocking plans to honor soldiers killed in that recent chopper crash in afghanistan. why? we'll show you what it wants instead. and one woman fighting potentially terminal cancer and struggling to pay her bills by selling off her possessions. but then her town stepped in and ordered her to stop. why? we'll ask her when she joins me live right here. >> i just hope nobody else has to go through this kind of thing. i hope that no one else has to

megyn: well, a new and controversial development in the illegal immigration debate, and the timing of it raising some eyebrows. the obama administration is now deciding to implement a policy that mirrors parts of the so-called dream act. now, you may remember that congress voted down that bill back in december, but the white house pushing ahead anyway, and be some say that the plan gives back door amnesty to illegal aliens. adam houseley picks up the story

from los angeles. what exactly is going on, adam? >> reporter: well, it goes a lot further than the dream act. the dream act would have been just for college students and for young illegals serve anything the military. this goes for 300,000 people that are, basically, going to be set aside, and the administration says they'll be looked at by a case by case basis. so, for example, if they have relatives here, their spouse or children are here legally, if they don't have a criminal record or if it's just minor offenses, they'll basically be set aside and go after the more serious trillion criminals, interest that's the theory. this isn't a total surprise. we had had some memos that have come out in recent months that kind of alluded to this coming down the pipeline. we did hear from janet napolitano, the homeland security today, dhs enforcement

resources must continue to be focused on our highest requireties. doing otherwise hinders our public safety priorities. >> reporter: once again, that's from janet napolitano. and as you mentioned, it comes at a time that the president's approval rating amongst hispanics is now significantly. a gallup poll today saying 49% approve of his job. that's down 36 points from two year ago. megyn: what's been the reaction from the political leaders in your neck of the woods? >> reporter: you know, it's a very on the contentious issue, and the person that generally is the first to come out with a comment is the arizona governor, jan brewer. janet napolitano being the former governor. jan brewer came out with a pretty long reaction in part it says over the next 15 months i'm certain we'll hear a lot of talk from the obama administration about its concern for border

security: >> reporter: that came from jan brewer, the governor of arizona, who was very upset as you might imagine, as are others. it's a friday in the summertime, megyn, and as you know getting the political on camera isn't the easiest thing to do, so we're getting reaction via statements, and we'll keep you updated. mel meg we're interested in statements too. adamhousely, thank you. megyn: could this provide back door amnesty to millions of people in the united states legally? coming up, we'll have a fair and balanced debate, both sides. some are now describing this as stimulus ii. and one former clinton cabinet member says it needs to be at least $300 billion of spending. in three minutes, our power panel talks about what this job

and infrastructure spending, spending on bridges and roads on so on. new ideas to accelerate job growth, including incentives for employers. joining me now, jeanine barelli. alan colmes of the alan colmes show and elizabeth mcdonald of the fox business network. stu varney told us at the top of the hour this is bad, what citigroup and jpmorgan are saying, they are reducing the growth forecast for our country pretty drastically and that would put us closer to another recession. business wise do we trust these guys? do they have a horse in the race? is there a reason not to believe them? >> that is a good question. i think we trust these guys. we had an historic crack up in the u.s. economy, we have an over leveraged economy and three bubbles occurring at same time.

you would have a recession coming on balance within three or four years time. what they are also telling fox business, i talk to these guys all the time is that government spending is not necessarily the way out of it. there are other ways to get companies to create jobs. that is the deal. in other words, if you -- the idea being that the printing press and gunning the debt machine down in washingto washington d.c. if that was the way to go -- they are not necessarily saying that is the right way to go. megyn: the president seems to think we need more spending. some are saying it could be as much as 300 billion when you add it all up together. is he not going to displease everyone. the left wants moreno more and the right wants h1n1 none. >> everybody will take some of the pain and suffer a little bit. he's talking about reforming entitlements again. they leak out to get a sense of how are they going to react. the traction structure changes,

liberals, progressives won't like the entitlement changes. everybody will be upset. megyn: did he try to go the moderate way with the first stimulus plan. >> i think it was very moderate. megyn: they said that was than enough and it wasn't going to do it. and some are saying we told you so. >> we should have had a bigger stimulus plan. the way you grow a business is to invest money in it. >> the government can't create purchasing power. you have to get the cash on the balance sheets into the economy. it's about incentives, how you get companies to do that. time and again what wall street is saying, they are tired of hearing that we inherited this recession. that's what the president and charlie rangel is that we inherited. they've been around since the nixon administration, we've got pelosi, steny hoyer, and barney frank who have created a lot of

economic policy in washingto washington d.c. megyn: how will that fly? if he wants an additional $300 billion in spending how is the right going to respond to that. >> government spending is not the answer. it didn't work the first time. this sounds like another mini stimulus. what we are witnessing is serious job crisis here in our country, thousands of people lined up in atlanta which we just saw in the news. people across the country, unemployment is through the room. he was promising shovel-ready jobs, that didn't happen. more spending is not going to fix that. megyn: maybe we can run the videotape if we still have it. did you see the picture of the people trying to get into the jobs fair in atlanta? doesn't it bring it home? we have jobs, we work, we earn paychecks we are lucky. those folks are out there and they've been unemployed for now years. >> he's going to inch seve to

get companies to hire. >> you make an important point about the stimulus plan, it was moderate, the middle of the road. there were tax breaks in that too. the government doesn't create jobs. the jobs council will not create jobs. megyn: government can create certainty or uncertainty. president obama has taken heat for creating uncertainty how. >> because of the bear market huggies given to businesses, and i think the best stimulus is to say we love the free markets, we love the capital system we want to create jobs. we are in a historic time right now in the economy, the first priority is jobs not reforming whole sectors -- >> the president said he's going to do a number of different things. he better do a number of different things to make it come together. >> is anyone paying attention to wha* what the environmental agency is doing? it's a pressure on the fossil fuel. megyn: which president nixon created.

patent reform, some more free trade, a moderate stimulus for infrastructure. it doesn't seem like either side is saying, we've got it. >> with 5,000 pages of new regulations coming out of health reform -- i'm not saying we should not have reformed wall street, yes but companies are saying look we feel stranded in the middle of the road. we are not going to build a factory if we don't know what our tax bill or regulatory bill will be when people in congress haven't even read the bills. megyn: time will tell. a major speech in september and we'll wait for it. panel that you. attention earth lings. a new report is asking if global warming may raise the risk of alien attacks. earlier we reported this was from nasa and i said i am not making this up. it turns out i was making that up. it is actually the work of a nasa scientist but he wasn't doing it for nass a. he says he was working on his own time with

day, after day. he says i'm sorry rules are rules. >> just like that. >> just like that. i hope nobody else has to go through this kind of thing. i hope no one else has to give their life away for nickels and dimes and then be told they can't even do that. so i hope nobody else has to do this ever. megyn: joining knee now on the phone is jan kline. thank you so much for giving us your time this afternoon. can i ask you this. do you know which neighbor it was? >> no, and they won't tell me. megyn: do the rest of the neighbors support you? >> absolutely. i just want to set some things straight. i don't live in this neighborhood, i actually am a resident of another city. i'm staying here while i'm ill, so it's not my neighborhood per se, and i have bone marrow k-pbz, which is different than a bone cancer, not that it's problem below that important. megyn: thank you for the clarification, i appreciate that. you know, so you're having these

garage sales and you're literally selling off your belongings to try and pay your bills. what did the city say when they called you up and said you needed to stop? >> they came by and -- what did i say to them? i said can't you make an exception in my behalf? they still haven't given me a definitive decision, but they do not want to make an exception. they are looking at options, most of which were ridiculous options and nothing i could do. but there is at least one option that may come up where we can move it to a commercial site for one weekend, but, again, i physically can't move it, and i have to find volunteers who are willing to box everything up, take the tents down, move it to another location, set it all up, and man it, because i won't be able to be there. megyn: you say you're very independent and you are used to taking care of yourself. this has been really hard for you, this illness, and you tried

to do something about it without relying on somebody else. how does it make you feel when you get shut down and you get a message like that from a neighbor, and i guess from city hall? >> it's hard to put your mind around it actually. i understand their stand, and i'm very active in the city of salem, even though i don't live in salem. and i understood the rule, the reasoning behind the rule, although i disagree with the number. i think it should be six a year. but be that as it may, i understood their stance, but i was asking for an exception in my case, which they don't want to do, because then they would have to make exceptions for other people. they are dealing with options, as i said most of which weren't viable options. megyn: how much money were you making each weekend on this you wonder how a garage sale could help pay medical bills. >> well, it won't pay for medical bills, but it will pay for my mortgage and my electric

so i don't lose my house while i'm recovering and going through chemotherapy. because i didn't lose my job, i couldn't do it any more, and so i had to hire someone to do it on my behalf, she gets the income that i got. until i'm well enough to be able to work i -- because i'm resourceful, it never occurred to me, i don't use government assistance, i never have and never will, and i just -- you know, the first thing that came to my mind was, well i'll have a garage sale and i'll start selling. i had a lot of stuff. i have a nice big house, and so i thought, those are just things, even though they are things i love and cherish, they are things, and so i can have -- i can sell these, you know, things, and make enough money to keep my head above water. i just got accepted for a health

plan called the oregon health plan, so my medical bills are probably covered now. so i was just more concerned about getting to keep my house. and i make maybe 200 to 300 a weekend so it wasn't a lot. megyn: i'm sure every bit helps. i love the line rules are rules which is what they said to you. they are rules but the reason we have human beings enforce the rules so we can have reason and judgment applied to the enforcement so that when there is a special case there can be some compassion. jan, good luck to you. >> thank you very much. megyn: folks before you ask we have posted some information on how you can help jan if you'd like to, you can visit our website at foxnews.com/"america live." former delaware congressional candidate christine o'donnell jumping back into the headlines, walking off of the set of a prime-time interview. she says the host's questions were borderline sexual harass -plts. we'll let you decide.

feelings boiled over, even the crowd getting into it, throwing chairs and water bottles at the americans and their fans as they left the court. making the incident more sensitive vice president joe biden is in china right now. david lee miller is live with more. >> reporter: so far no word from the office of vice president joe biden regarding the brawl you just got. the vp is in china to discuss economic issues. he attended a game of another chinese team one day before the melee. in the interest of world peace, not to mention sportsmanship the two teams met and made amends. according to a news release put out by georgetown the players exchanged handshakes during the amicable gathering. the two coaches talked about their family. chinese bloggers have had a lot

to say. they are especially critical of the chinese players. one blogger called the incident a disgrace, another said and i quote, this is why the nba won't expand here. yet another wrote, they think they are better at chinese kung fu than basketball and that is why they are desperate to show it off. chinese players had a reputation for brawling, they have been fined tense of thousands of dollars nor fighting with opponents. by the way the game you just tied was tied 64-64 when it ended abruptly. disappointed fans are in for a treat. the two teams play each other again sunday in shanghai. as you pointed out the u.s. players are in china as part of a ten-day good will tour. what the state department has sited as an example of sports diplomacy improving relations. megyn: or it's supposed to thank you. the president today basically rewrote the rules for how we will handle illegal immigrants and he did it by executive order. critics are saying it's amnesty,

megyn: a fox news alert. new fallout from a frightening economic forecast from two american financial giants. welcome, everyone. i'm megyn kelly. new warnings from jpmorgan and citigroup. they say the threat of recession

is growing. this as president obama begins a vacation where he has pledged to be work on a new financial plan for the country. >> reporter: the stream of bad news continues obvious, a lot of statistics on top of the already high unemployment rate, the housing crisis, all these various issues the president trying to confront. that may be why the white house is being careful what pick tiewshes the american people see of this working vacation. the first one they would you tell out this morning was a serious looking president being briefed on national security measures. the next real video we saw was the president take his doubters to a bookstore across the street from where we are. quite a scene as some of the support terse were shouting 2012 and four more years. but you can see what they are trying to emphasize. he's at work the national security matters. he's with his family.

now he's playing golf, but he's playing at a golf club where they say we are not allowed to take pictures. the american people won't see the american president out on a golf course. we spoke with u.s. news and world report web said presidents have to be careful how this plays out politically. >> it gets to the point where americans look at it and say is the president being fair in the sense of calling for sacrifice from on the terse while he's enjoying himself in martha's vineyard. >> reporter: at this point in this presidency, president george w. bush had taken 26 trips to his ranch in texas and spent 18 some days on vacation. this president has taken just over 10 trips, 61 days of vacation, and counting because he will be there for 10 days. but the point is, ther president

bush -- president bush was in relatively calm economic times. his father was in turbulent economic times and democrats were able to paint hip as being out of touch. he lost his election in november of 1992. this president has to be concerned about potentially the same faith, megyn. megyn: the stiff angels firing back after becoming the latest victimde by standard and poor's. that's in response from triple aaa to double a status. l.a. has lost faith in s & p's judgment noting the real estate crash was caused by s ann p ratings. cancelling the contract that's expected to save los angeles $16,000 a year. the value of gold spark an

they already got them. critics call this amnesty, supporters call it common sense. joining me now neal boortz, syndicated talk show host and attorney, and francisco hernandez, an immigration attorney. is it amnesty? >> p.e. herman could analyze this one. the president sees a 36 per drop in his approval rating among hispanics. the approval rating goes from 85% to 49%. we have an elect coming up, states like florida are critical, and now we have what which any definition is an amnesty for illegal aliens. we are looking for a little bit of a climb in the hispanic approval ratings for the president. and just mindlessly easy to analyze this one. megyn: francisco.

jan brewer ofs * and others like her have called his executive fiat. he's doing by executive order what he could not get through the u.s. congress. >> i'll admit congress is at a stalemate. they can't even figure out whether to take out more credit cards. but what is jan brewer arguing with. she passed a law requiring the federal government to act. we are talking about 300,000 people that would have qualified under the dream act. young men and women who were brought over here through no action of their own. they have no ties in any other country. they are willing to serve in the military or go to college and probably a lot of them may not speak their native language anyway. there is no down side to that. none of those people can vote and their parents obviously can't vote or they would have had them here with papers already.

so where is the call for the federal government to act? megyn: there was a lot of criticism of the republicans for not passing the dream act. kids who have been brought here by their parents not willingly and other groups. and there was a question about how people didn't want to take the vote in the u.s. congress. they didn't want to be on record as having don't. did president obama do them a favor by saying this is the way it's going to be. no one has to take that political bullet by saying they voted for it an takes care of a group of illegal immigrants that is not as controversial as others? >> i'll give mr. hernandez credit for spinning this to the dream act angle. it also applies to any illegal alien in this country who has been arrested, is schedule toward deportation and does not have some sort of a gross criminal violation on their record. that's not just innocent middle school children who can't speak

mexican or can't affect spanish. come on, this is widespread. and you are right, megyn, it does take the heat off congress and they will thank him for that. megyn: what about it, francisco. except and apart from the compassionate grounds. there is a question about executive power. if president bush did something like this and changed immigration policy, you know the other side would be down his throat on that. >> if congress is so outraged about it they can undo it by legislation. the thing about the deportations. we have so many people cost us a lot of money pending deportation proceedings. if we are going to devote resources do we want to do it to the people who have been found to be criminals or present a risk to so sight or keep people who have done nothing more than get a speeding ticket in jail the same amount of time. it doesn't give them a legal

right to be here or a work permit. it just means they won't be processed now. megyn: there is a back log. they say the obama administration has done record numbers of deportations and there is a backlog in terms of processing the illegal immigrants to be arrested. why not prioritize those who have been brought here by their parents. >> very good idea. why not enforce our borders. we have this oversimplification. they did nothing more than get a speeding ticket. they came here illegally. they stay here illegally. they work here illegally. and that's quite a bit more than just getting a speeding ticket. megyn: it is more expansive than the dream act. it does cover more illegal immigrants and there will be more controversy going forward. gentlemen, thank you both. we appreciate you being here.

up at the bottom of the hour. christine o'donnell walked off the set. she says she was berated with what she said was sex iewlg harassment and downright creepy. roll tape. >> do you support gay marriage. >> you are borderline being a little bit rude. i obviously want to talk about the issues that i choose to talk about in the book. >> do you answer that question in the book? >> i talk about my religious beliefs. i absolutely do. >> do you talk about gay marriage in the book. >> what relevance is that? is there a piece of legislation? >> it's obviously as you know because of michele bachmann and others, it's a highly contentious political issue. i'm curious what are your views.

i'm amazed why you wouldn't say it in an interview. >> i don't think it many relevant. i'm being pulled away. we turned down another interests view for this. >> where are you going? you are leaving? it would appear the interview has just been ended because i had the audacity to ask questions based on stuff that's in this book. megyn: let's bring in our power panel. so i have my thoughts on how that went. let's start with you, andrea. whose side are you on. >> i'm not a piers morgan fan but i thought his question was fair. she has to be prepared to answer questions about things you said in the past.

megyn: she was trying to prove her points. >> how many of us even knew she had a book. megyn: is there anybody here on her side? >> i'm not on her side. every single day it shows sometimes the debates even here get lively and i love that. that's good journalism. the bottom line. when you go on the show, all questions are fair games, especially if you talk about it in your book. megyn: she said it was borderline sexual harassment, anand he wanted to know if she believes masturbation was wrong. >> these talking points came from christine o'donnell. >> it's called don't ask, don't tell. megyn: i haven't read her book. if she doesn't sneek those

issues in her book, does he have a point? >> she has to be prepared to talk about the issues in the headlines. megyn: do you think he was rude in the way he handled that? he said i thought it was charming. she said she thought he was rude. >> i thought it was a little aggravating. about it comes down answer the questions. if you are going to walk off, you do it right. she was standing there looking to the sidelines. smile, gets up and walk out. megyn: that's what she did when she was running for office. somebody else pulled her off. somebody handling her. >> i'm glad we never put you into office. you are proving -- megyn: if you want to play with the big boys -- you have to be prepared to hang with those big boys. my view as an interests viewer, he did nothing wrong. i those was polite and asked totally appropriate questions. you have got to be able to

handle that kind of thing if you want to be in the u.s. senate. okay. let's move on. the next topic, palin versus gloria steinem. this is interesting. i wanted to get to this last friday because gloria steinem makes some provocative comments about sarah palin and michele bachmann. to her credit she changed a lot of the laws in this country for women back in a time when it wasn't easy to do it. but then she takes this shot at palin and bachmann saying they are there to oppose the women's movement. they sold out to the women's movement and they are on her list of women only a man could love. i asked sarah palin about it. here is how hero sponlded. >> gloria steinem had her day, her day and her rhetoric is over. it's very passe. michele bachmann and me and millions of women who work

insides the home and outside the home, we raise families, we run businesses, we run for offers, we put others before self, and we desire to serve something greater than self in order to make the world a better place. megyn, do you the same thing. we are the women's movement. we are illustrating equality and empowerment of other women. and someone like gloria steinem, i'm sure she add some healthy debate back in the day. but her vision of what a woman should be or could be is evidently not what conventionally now women who are feeling empowered and wanting to help change the world because we believe in equality, she does not share our views of women being able to do much more than she gives us credit for. megyn: whose side are you on? >> she is dead on. sarah palin. we are all products of gloria

steinem's hard work, but her work is done. we have all been inspired by her, but now more women are graduating from college. women in urban city are making 23% more than men. gloriast steinem would do a service if she started talking to women not about the past, but looking forward, how to handle this success and empower men on the other side. megyn: she likes to empower women, but only women who agree with her. if you are pro life you are not in the gloria steinem tents. you are anti-woman. >> what is passe coming off this gridlock in washington is people going at each other for no reason. that actually has some similarities between them. because sarah palin -- megyn: a woman who ran for vice president, you would think gloria stein tell would be proud of that. >> i don't understand why it has

to come to blows. >> i agree with what a * was saying. but i want to make an important distinction went way sarah palin responds and the way michele bachmann respond. the way michele bachmann is handling is it better for the women's movement. for example, some say sp very plays the victim card. michele bachmann when she was discussing the "newsweek" picture she dismissed it. megyn: our power panel is coming up next on "twilight," "true blood." the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today. for red lobster we can find. male announcer ] hurry into crabfest at red lobster and savor 3 crab entrees under $20 like our crab and seafood bake. or our snow crab and crab butter shrimp.

megyn: we are back with our power panel on a growing pop culture trends. the undead.

this 19-year-old claiming to be a 500-year-old vampire was arrested trying to break into a woman's home and sink his teeth into her neck. he did not know her. she is okay, and now he's facing charges. he's awaiting a psychiatric evaluation. the vampire books, the tv shows, the movies, the youth culture. so they say that this -- not this, but this obsession with vampire culture is becoming more and more popular because vampires cheat death and are able to stay beautiful, powerful and youthful for eternity. really? is that the reason? >> i have gotten into the "twilight." i watched "twilight," i got into it. i think that this is a recurring

conversation we keep having whether it's violent video games or tv and movies. the bottom line is this kid has mental problems. i don't think this increases aggressive behavior. megyn: they are not tided together at -- they are nod tied together at all. the obsession with the vampire culture is big. >> culture is the operative world. several parts of the world aren't into vampires as we are over here. so i'm pretty sure if a similar psychiatric problematic crime occurred i'm sure there would be very little slink between vampires. megyn: is this about living forever or being completely tasty? if so, that's good for me. >> i just think like anything,

tv influences fads and culture. i think to give this guy a drug test. megyn: i buy the psychiatric evaluation thing. that's a good move. moving on. engagement rings. anyone have a big rock? >> i would never wear it to an interview. megyn: more and more employers are suggesting female candidates can reconsider wearing a big rock on their ring finger to their interview because they don't like what it says about you, that maybe you are rich, maybe you don't need the job, maybe you have got a lot of bling, i don't know, but would you wear that to a job interview? >> i would. if i'm going to get judged by my accessories, then that's not the place for me. how a ring is taken depends on who is sitting on the other side. if it's a woman and she is engaged that is the way to connect. it just depend.

megyn: they are certainly not look at a man and wondering what size ring he bought his wife. >> i don't want to get to the point where i'm buying an engagement ring for my husband to be. the original quote came from someone working for a non-profit. megyn: that was legitimate. she worked for a non-profit. but more managers weighed in on this. and there is -- there is a law, she says she was told she didn't need a salary increase because she had a nice engagement ring. >> don't wear the big rock. >> i agree it' not right. but just don't wear it. a lot of times the men will look and think she does need the job. megyn: then they are morons and you shouldn't want to work for

them. >> when i was working for a political candidate she had a 10 carat die handled ring. i said you are not wearing that until after election day. it won't connect with the vote voters. megyn: in a job interview? >> isn't sit deceitful if you pretend you are not engaged? then you get the job? >> rings that are substantial they would look and say you don't need this job. >> if it's too program boinlt, it's a problem. megyn: what is it's a family heirloom that nana gave you. megyn: if it's too big, you can't get it in your glove when you are going skiing and it's always going getting soap on it. that's why i have nice and flat.

megyn: after his solid fin efficient iowa straw poll, some political observers say congressman ron paul was being ignored. but others say another gop candidate is having even a harder time getting his message out. he placed 4th in that poll and

many are wondering if he's being treated as the invisible candidate. i can see him. former u.s. senator from pennsylvania, rick santorum. thank you so much for being here. even though some say you are the invisible candidate, you have noticed an uptick in calls to your campaign in critical states. and my question to you is do you believe that you can win this nomination? >> absolutely. i'm not here for recreational purposes or to put my family through the torture of arduous political campaign like running for president is all about. we are in it because we believe we can win. and we can start in iowa. we finished fourth. three candidates above us outspent us 10-1. now one of those candidates is out and the second one ron paul,

just about as many people showed up for the straw poll will show up for the caucus. he won't fin efficient top one, two or three in the caucuses. we sort of feel like we came in second and got the bounce that folks coming from the pawlenty campaign and undecideds who saw our speech at straw poll and saw the hard work we put into iowa are coming our way. we feel good about iowa. megyn: one of the big issues was obviously the economy. today we got bad economic news. jp morgan and citigroup cut their growth forecast considerably warning we are dangerously close to another recession. your reaction to that latest news and forecast for our country. >>' not a surprise. we have policies that are anti-growth. we have an epa that's exploding.

125% increase since boik came into office. what is their job in their job is to crush the manufacturing sector. increase energy prices and do things that are top down government micromanaged to encourage green energy. green energy is not going to bring this country out of a recession. it will put it deeper into a recession unless we get folks mining coal and drilling for gas to keep energy prices down and encourage the economic growth that's necessary. that's one example of literally hundreds of obama-care is the other. the a. uncertainty the business community is experiencing because of this huge cost around the corner is holding people back. megyn: this is a difficult question. i know you personally a little bit. and my i am preparing of you i'll share with the viewers is you are an incredibly nice guy, you are compassionate, you are caring, you look out for other people. when i talk to some of my friend who are gay and lesbian.

they don't understand that characterization of you because they think you have it in for gaze and lesbians because you are anti-gay marriage and you called it wrong and called it destructive of the family. i want to give you an opportunity to speak to those people to explain why they should not feel that way about you. >> i appreciate the opportunity. we have have a public policy difference about what the proper marriage laws should be in this country and what's from the best interest of society and not hate somebody or feel ill will towards anybody. as i said many times. i have friend who are gay, i accept them as they are. but i disagree with them vehemently about what tonight best interests of society with respect to our marriage laws and what we are going to teach our children? schools, what the impact of those marriage laws will be on our faith community and their ability to proclaim the truth as god laid it out in the bible. all those things are

ramifications after public policy debate where again i'm going to be stand and be joke sal about. but that doesn't mean that i dislike anybody or hate anybody because of their sexual orientation. i respect that decision, by also -- you have to respect me for feeling differently about trying to take that orientation and then to try to project an agenda onto the american public that is consistent with that. that's where i'll drought line and have a disagreement. but it's not personal. it's about policy. megyn: a lot of people are saying, well, santorum can't win the nomination. but he could be tagged as somebody's vp, as a running-mate. to that you say what? >> i'm not running for vice president. i believe i'm in the best position to win this nomination. and more importantly, to beat

boik to beat barak obama. we have what it takes to win his race and go up against barak obama. someone who has been a solid consistent conservative. as well as the moral cultural issues. we can energize our base and appeal to the middle which i have done successfully in pennsylvania in the past. megyn: rick santorum, thank you, sir. see you soon. we wanted to update on our critical onshine poll. a new report from a group of scientists is asking if global warming may race the risk of alien attacks. their report is called would contact with extraterrestials benefit or harm humanity. some suggest when they see how we treated the earth they may see us and a rise together

university and attack. 3% say we should increase efforts to curb the greenhouse gases. 19% suggest that we should develop weapons to kill the aliens first. but the vast majority are saying the scientists should ask it research on this issue and focus on how to create jobs. we could use some nasa brains on that issue. her adoptiveston completely out of control. so she turned to dr. phil for help. videotaping herself musting hot sauce into his mouth and force him into a cold shower as he screams. but is that criminal? in today's "kelly's court." just one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day helps defends against occasional constipation, diarrhea,

gas and bloating. with the strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic." [ female announcer ] phillips' colon health.

megyn: "kelly's court" is back in session. cruel and unusual punishment. putting mom on the witness stand after she was exposed on national television. >> i opened his mouth. it had no effect. so we went to hot sauce.

we have been having a lot of problems. it will stay in the bathroom in the many handy when you night. when he gets a cold shower i'm at the end of my rope. >> you are to do as you are told. nothing has gone the the results that i want. i want him to obey and to understand the consequences of his choices. nothing i have done has worked. i would definitely say it's the biggest stress in my life. megyn: she is seen disciplining her adopted son, washing his mouth out with hot sauce, then forcing him into an ties cold shower. she had been pleading with dr. phil to help with her boy's behavior problems. that she was charged and she is having to deal with the threat of prison.

should she go there? let's ask our panel. mercedes? the definition of child abuse that we are dealing with in the relevant state is you place -- create a substantial risk of injury to the child, do you cruelly punish or physically injure the child. >> it doesn't qualify bus putting away all of the graphics and a lot of folk look at that video will be upset when they heard that child crying. but it's not done cruelly. you see the mother constantly talking to him. do you understand. you cannot tell a lie. you cannot do this. do you understand what the consequences are, over and over again. it's not like a mother who puts out her cigarettes into her child's back. here is a mother who obviously is at the end of her ropes. she tried to use other measures.

it hasn't worked. so she continues the punishment. but she has a dialogue with her child back and forth. megyn: the defense is the child was extremely unruly as a lot of kids who have been adopted from russia have had major behavioral problems. she said she tried other methods and they wouldn't work. though it looks weird to us. she says it was a form discipline, not child abuse. >> you said she was exposed. but she exposed herself, right? she made the videos during these course of punishment which that in and of itself is odd and sends sit off to a national television show as opposed to going in her community and finding an expert to deal with it. i think it was a close call for the prosecutor whether to go as far as a trial. i think it will be a close call for the jury because mercedes does make excellent points. she is trying to teach a lesson. but for a 7-year-old kid.

soap is one thing. that was a big thing. you put soap in your mouth. megyn: how is this so much different? >> hot sauce or soap in your mouth. soap in your mouth doesn't taste good. hot sauce burns. megyn: then she puts him in the cold shower. you can hear him screaming in the cold shower. the thing is, sometimes children do that. you can put a child in time out who would scream and scream. it doesn't mean there is physical injury. >> you will have viewers who say we know what that like. we understand a parent who can take on those measures. if you can't control your child in the home, how are they going behave in other settings. megyn: is this a slippery slope if you let the government

interfere in this behavioral correction, how far can they go? >> the cold shower is water. even reading the opening statements. it didn't say how long the kid was in the shower. if you are in the shower for 45 seconds or five minutes? was the water temperature 70 degrees or 80 degrees. those are big issues. and the jury will have a tough time here. but those cries and screams of the child will go a long way. megyn: one final word for our viewer. criminal charges for something like this may start us down a slippery slope. this mother could be convicted. it's possible. i for one remain unsure whether that is a good and justified thing. welcome your comments on it at kelly@foxnews.com.
