moved in to make arrests. >> heather: protestors marching in germany with thousands rallying in front of the european central bank. fred burke is streaming live with some of the extreme violence. >> reporter: there were demonstrations all over but it was really rome where it was tough. when people show up with faces covered carrying bats, you have an idea it's not going to be peaceful. that was certain liquor the case today in italy as protestors smashed windows, they burnt cars. they burnt a couple buildings, put one policeman van on fire. the streets were littered with cobblestones. it was basically an urban warfare right in the middle of downtown rome for a few hours. basically a very violent fringe what was supposed to be a peaceful protest modeled on the

wall street protests. police hitting back with tear gas, lots of tear gas, water canons. police have been reluctant to be too tough with protestors after one was shot to death back at a g-8 protest ten years ago. a delicate situation where a police chief was blocked, a police van the one that was set on fire. and the real losers not the big banks but big corporations but people were protesting against but essentially the peaceful demonstrators, well over one thousand which was hijacked by very violent people. >> heather: thank you so much. gregg burke, thank you. >> here at home the occupied wall street movement picking up steam. more than 20 people have been arrested demonstrators marched on banks as they rallied to washing square park and times

square. >> gregg: breaking news, the press is reporting that obama administration is buangs plans to keep u.s. troops in iraq past the year end withdrawal deadline. they quoting two anonymous sources, one a senior military official and administration official saying all-american troops will leave except for 160 troops attached to the u.s. embassy there. the pentagon had considered leaving 5,000 troops to train security forces and hinder iranian influence. the united states launching a new plan to crack down on rampant violence in central africa. soldiers will be sent to uganda with hopes of knack nabbing this man. molly henneberg is live in washington with the latest. these troops, mostly special

operations forces will be helping try to take down that group, lord's resists army that have been terrorizing the area for decades. they say some of the special op forces will be sent to south sudan, central african republic and congo to provide training and not engage forces directly. in a letter to congress, president obama said, quote, i believe deploying the armed forces further national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter nevtsd central africa. they say it's to help render forces ineffective. one strategist why the president

decided to alert congress late yesterday. >> he is a vir lent terrorist. he keeps a harem of young village girls that he finds. he impresses small children into warfare as child soldiers, requires them to kill their parents, for example. he is a vicious guy. the united states is doing a useful thing here. why the administration chose to sort of hide this on friday night. >> molly: white house says it's following a 2010 law where congress supported increased efforts to eliminate the threat by lkra. >> heather: a drone strike reportedly killing nine suspected al-qaeda militants in yemen, according to tribal leaders one was anwar al-awlaki son. he was killed last month. he was known as a powerful

recruiting tool for the terror group and was top figure in the arabian peninsula. he and his son are latest in what is a string of key al-qaeda leaders to be killed this year and believe gregg has more on that. >> gregg: it was september 25th, a drone strike that took out shake fatah. in august another drone strike took out number two in command and back in may, american special forces storming a compound in pakistan killing osama bin laden. >> gregg: despite the defeat of the jobs bill. president continuing to push his nearly $450 billion bill breaking into pieces if necessary. today president obama using detroit one of the most economically depressed areas in the country as the backdrop for

his weekly address but will he be able to find bipartisan support or will it be dead in water. can charlie, good to see you. president says i'm going travel the country telling lawmakers do your job, vote in favor of my economic proposals. given the fact that his job plan already died in the senate this week, is the president governing or campaigning, charlie? >> i think it's a great point, gregg. i think absolutely he is campaigning. i think everybody is campaigning right now. of course, when he blames republicans for killing the jobs plan or not voting on it or whatever, he conveniently doesn't mention that the bill died in the senate which is controlled by his own party which is kind fouls up his story line a little bit. he has to do the campaign just the way the republicans are. one of the reasons we haven't

seen a cogent plan from republicans as of yet is two things, they don't have a nominee yet but more importantly all the pressure is on obama. they are kind of sitting back watching him take the hits right now. >> gregg: when he introduced the bill about a month ago. after his vacation, the president refused to break it up or otherwise compromise. no compromises even with those in his own party, wait a minute mr. president, we're not going to vote for it. two senators on the democratic side said no. now, that it's dead in the water now he wants to break it up. did his my way or the highway stubbornness waste valuable time as americans continue to struggle? >> i think absolutely. that brinkmanship that he

played. people called him on it at the time, actually you should be negotiating on this, but he refused. my feeling is time wise he was trying to strike a tenure, a presidential tenure, look i'm in charge here i got the answers you get in line. it's different than it was in 2008 when he skyrocketing popularity. everyone was behind him. nobody really disliked the guy. they maybe disagreed with him but nobody disliked him. it's very different now. we've seen in the amount of time he has been trying to sell his jobs plan, not only has the popularity of the plan gone down, but his own popularity has reached not necessarily new lows but they have gone back down to record lows. >> gregg: it is a new low. i want to fair and balanced. the president's plan had no

chance at all. everybody knew that at the beginning. the senate republican plan was put forth this week the counterpoint the president's plan. we'll pul put it up on the screen. a balanced budget amendment. presidential line item to cut spending. now a cap for corporate tax rate at 25%, remove 3% with holding tax on vendors. repatriate overseas income, zero out and repeal healthcare reform law, dodd-frank, financial reform law. do you see any of that any of it passing and if not aren't republicans only hurting themselves in an election year by reinforcing the president's claim of partisanship on their part? >> it may be a smart tactical

smart way of going. it's discussing poll thiax most americans despise. the question is, does that story get told. the truth of the matter is, the main story that is going to be told is the bad economy and president obama has spontaneity lot of money trying to fix it and hasn't fixed it. that argument probably wins the day and therefore it might be smart. honestly, it's a great effort i think to try to repeal obamacare. putting it forth at this point it's kind of ridiculous. like you say it's not going to pass. they do i think have a shot at passing something like that after an election if obama loses but right now it's all politics. >> gregg: it invites the question what can be achieved. republicans have said all along, mr. president if you cut this bill up, we are open to things like the payroll tax cut.

they passed the free trade bills that have been collecting dust and speaker boehner says he is open to doing something on transportation and infrastructure which was also in the president's plan. so are those some things that may be americans can expect to see pass? >> yeah, i think that we are likely to probably see a lot of half measures between now and the election, but as you know, once you get into this we're starting to approach what people call silly season. every second you get closer to an election, both sides just stop working. they stop negotiating. they stop trying to get anything done both because they are afraid of doing something that is unpopular. >> gregg: and you have 13 months until the election. speaking of which, did you see the latest gallup poll, 46% of

americans now over themselves as independents which means they hold the balance of power in the next election. the president standing with those independents, it is an incredibly anemic 35%. if that is what he is going to get in the next election year, 35%, mathematically he cannot win. is the challenge for republicans we've got to find a nominee who can articulate core party principles in at way that appeals to independents. is that what they are saying? >> absolutely. as you know, gregg, in 2009, the reason that obama blew the doors off the election he did so well amongst independents. there were people on the far right that didn't like him. but independents may have voted against him but they didn't like him. he was very likable guy and such a powerful connection with those guys. against a guy who previously,

john mccain who previously had a good connection with independents. now three years later, he has lost of that support. that is at record lows. i think even if republicans came up with a candidate that republicans didn't necessarily love, but -- i'm thinking of mitt romney here -- but managed to present himself as sort of a reasonable adult on business matters, wow, i think that could end up being 2009 all over again but going in the other direction. >> gregg: charlie, good to see you. >> heather: deadly mass shooting inside a california hair salon. some chilling 911 tapes revealing the tense moments inside. >> gregg: plus the search continues for baby lisa irwin.

the white house reacting to an associated press report that president obama his administration is abandoning plans to keep u.s. troops in iraq past the year end withdrawal deadline. a spokesperson tells us, quote, president obama is repeatedly made it clear we're committed to keeping our agreement with the iraqi government to remove all the troops by the end of this year and at the same time we're building a comprehensive partnership with iraq under the strategic framework agreement including a relationship and discussions with itself iraqis about the nature of that relationship are ongoing. the pentagon had considered leaving up to 5,000 troops to train security forces and hinder nearby iranian influence. >> heather: newly released 911 tapes revealing the chilling moments after a gunman opened fire in a california hair salon

killing eight people. >> we've got shootings overhear. >> where? >> the salon, we need an ambulance. >> heather: that man turned out to be skeot de cry, lost in a bigger custody battle that worked at the salon. she now charged with killing her and seven others. they will seek the death penalty prosecutors say. >> family of missing lisa irwin hopes that a reward will bring her home. that mystery donor says she is wealthy mom whose sole interest is her well-being. she is the person that hired

hard to get. >> reporter: she opted for a loan that did not involve bank. she logged on prosper.com, a website specializing in peer to peer lending. >> take out the banks and wall street players and let people directly to invest in other people. >> it let's you borrow money from every day investors and profits that would typically go to a bank. >> i'll give you this much money. >> investors can give as little or as much as they want. a peer to peer loan can come from one or dozens of people. oftentimes the borrower can save money because the interest rates are m lower versus traditional credit lines. >> a good investment, i get 7-9% interest. >> they took out a peer to peer loan when the interest on his credit card became too high to

handle. >> it was just a great rate. it was easy to consolidate that loan, get it out of our hair. >> reporter: there are risks involved here mostly for the investors, of course, because there is a chance that a borrower might default on the loan. but the popularity is increasing the number of the peer to peer loans increasing by more than 800 in 2010 compared to 2009. >> gregg: i would presume there would be due diligence as to the borrower and ability to repay the loan and so forth, right. >> reporter: that is where that middleman, that website is go as the facilitator of this and they regulate that. they look at the credit score. and lengthy application process. it's fascinating when you look at people now skirting the banking system. >> gregg: it could prove very popular.

>> gregg: iran directly denying involvement in a plot to kill

saudi arabia's u.s. ambassador. mansurf. told investigators that he was working in iran to attack israel and saudi arabia embassies in washington. the leaders must be held accountable for the plot. >> from an attempted act of war, obviously they weren't able to succeed. this is the first time we know of they tried something in our capital. i think they are doing it because they think they can get away with it. i think they've got to be held responsible in a variety of ways. >> gregg: which should the u.s. response should be. christian widen joins me now. dothey have credibility? >> there is a strong money trail there is an account controlled

by part of the iranian regime charged with exporting the islamist revolution and he is related to the force responsible for a great many american deaths in iraq. and president obama he's been so clear iranian linkage that is his policies have been a failure. he took office bee will reach out a hand if you unclench your fist. to be the president so far out on this is very telling. >> gregg: do you think the engagement policies, if we can call it that by this administration is actually backfired in a way that it has emboldened tehran? >> i think so. it comes against a pattern that is frankly bipartisan where iran has been pushing on an open door without any resistance. you go back to the founding of the islamic republic, they took

americans hostage and they contributed to the killing of number of american marines in 1983 and killed a great number of americans through their proxies and bankruptcies indirectly in iraq and they have never paid a consequence for any of the actions. they have a great deal of impunity. >> christian, let's talk about how the united states should respond. president is talking about severely harsh sanctions. they are talking about crippling economic pain on tehran. but the u.s. does no business with iran. so unilateral action would wouldn't have any effect. the president wants to further isolate iran. how do we go about doing that if we will never get the cooperation of china and russia who are already dubious about what happened here with this plot?

>> that's right. it's not going to work. and the president will say things, we've taken nothing off the table. that used to mean something coming from an american president. it was a mild threat but it's been used so many times without consequence. three things wesmt we could do. we have to purely defensively, it comes from the threat of mexican car tells and we should have military cooperation and offensively the saudis are the aggrieved party here. we should work with them and targeted members of the iranian regime mostly in iraq where they are trying to stir up trump and to wage political warfare broadly against the iranian regime both within their borders and around the globe. >> gregg: can we do that. how do we do that? >> unfortunately our capabilities have badly hurt the c.i.a.

our national endowment should be on the front line has become ineffective, as well. but we, bring back these capabilities. we had them as recently as the end of the cold war when we were were, in with the soviet union we were very clear we wanted the end of that regime. we talk about the iranian nuclear threat and eighth growing threat but the political activities. the subversion of friendly governments in a democratic forces, their attempts to spread islamism and supporting the green movement covertly and undermine them economically elsewhere around the world is the best we can. also the chinese and russians may not be in a cooperative mood but we should try. we supposedly have wonderful improvement of relations with russia and china. >> christian, thanks very much for being with us. >> heather: the vietnam war

>> because its private school without presumably state and federal funding they can make the restrictions and say i'm going to hire individuals. its private institution. lutheran school has right to do so. it will be interesting i'm not suing about the fact of my religion. i'm suing because i think the school was unlawful when it came to my sick leave. suddenly it got punished and i was retaliated. >> heather: she came back from sick leave and she had been replaced. >> and mercedes is right. they can do whatever they want to do, however, in the public school system, the difference dividend story. you can't even say jesus christ you can't say in god we trust.

>> they are right when it comes to what a private school can do. i look at this in the way, think how traumatized she was coming back on sick leave and the school having replaced her and then to make this move to fire her. i think that goes against some of the tenets of the lutheran church. where do you draw the line? she wanted to sue them. i think some of the behavior crossed line. that is not what the supreme court is going decide on but it doesn't seem like a fair situation for her. >> if the supreme court focused just on the sick leave issue, it's a violation of law. it may have been a disability leave, where she took the leave could be actionable. if the focus is going to object on religion but if it's on the sick leave she may have a case.

>> heather: we'll see what happens. high school football player in new york died after getting struck on the field. it happened just last night. this is re-ignited go the debate to provide better head gear to players. they suffer fatal school injuries every fall. some states have passed new laws to try to protect the players. is it possible? >> it's a horrible accident but it happens more often than not. i believe state laws, you should have federal laws protecting our children. >> if you see one of athletes funny, some physiological symptoms, pull them off. bench them. >> they started requiring them. you pull them off immediately. if they suffered any sort of head injury and they have to wait for 24 hours before they return to the field and, of course, they will have to be accompanied by a doctor's note.

>> i think some progress has been made. every football season parents think it's not going to happen to my child. families need to be protected by the laws that aren't going to have coaches really pushing the players in ways that are medically not healthy but i think we also have to understand that, like you said, this is going to be a story that five or ten times every year it happens. football is a violent game and sport. >> having the families more involved to make the decisions. >> i don't know if more government intervention is the answer. >> but to protect our children, if we are going to have it as a school sported. >> it's so hard to enforce those laws, on the local level and have the coaches do something. >> maybe not legislation but education, but also for the players and players' families. >> heather: we're going to a

>> gregg: hello, everyone. glad you're with us, i'm gregg jarrett. >> heather: i'm heather childers. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's headquarters. topping the news, from antiwar to anti-capitalism to health care reform, you're taking a live look right now at times square in new york city. the occupy wall street movement spreading from new york city to the heart of europe. we're also live in rome. >> gregg: government forces using live ammunition. the protesters in yemen with a political solution to remove the president from power. >> heather: a month after a drone and missile strike takes out anwar al-awlaki, american

drones kill another high profile al-qaeda target. who it was and where it all we want down. >> gregg: we begin with chaos on the streets of rome. protesters turning a demonstration against benefit cutting and what they call corporate greed to an all out riot. smashing windows, clashing with police near the famous coliseum. police then using water cannons and tear gas in an attempt to control the crowds. the fighting leaving dozens of people injured. greg burks streaming live from rome. >> that's right. there were demonstrations across europe and across the globe, but nowhere did they get as rough as in rome. the italians today seemed to have taken something out of the greek play book where they've had the violent demonstrations for a long time. there were dozens injured in italy today, both among the police and among the demonstrators as what was supposed to be a peaceful

protest got ugly very quickly. there was a police van that was set on fire, other cars as well set on fire, as well as a lot of trash bins and actually a couple buildings as well. one of the defense department buildings, two of the flores completely gutted by fire. police were getting pounded with cobble stones and everybody is hundred hard core radicals really set the tone for the day. police were striking back with tear gas and with water cannons, but basically just trying to limit the amount of damage. we don't have a number on that yet, but probably we'll get it in the next couple of days or a lot of damage in downtown rome, both the public and private property. now, elsewhere in europe, it was not as rough. there were some scuffles in london, in demonstrations in a number of major cities across europe. while it has gone global, this movement, europe is certainly very much at the heart of it as the governments face a lot of protests among people about

pension cut, especially in trouble with young people trying to find jobs. finally, there were dozens john edwards in italy and perhaps some seriously. we don't really know that yet. but perhaps we're lucky nobody was killed. one of the major weapons were these cobble stones. they're very big. you get hit with one of those, it could be the end. gregg? >> gregg: greg berks, thanks very much. heather? >> heather: look at this. in this country, the cross roads of america filling up with protesters. this is a live look once again at times square in new york city. going on right now. members of occupy wall street demonstrating a day of action. they're gathering near a recruitment center to protest the wars in iraq and afghanistan. afterwards the group plans to occupy the subway, they say, and head back downtown to their home base, wall street. earlier today, the protesters marched on big banks in new york city. more than 20 people were arrested.

>> gregg: some of them went after the chase bank branch, blowing horns, banging drums. banks got bailed out, we got sold out. then they went after citigroup banks. so they're hitting all the banks today. we'll keep track of it. an occupy wall street videotape going viral. take a look at this. protester lying on his back screaming. the video appears to show a new york city police scooter rolling over his too. but the nypd released a statement about yesterday's incident. they say they have witnesses who claim the man intentionally put his leg underneath the scooter. the man on the ground was arrested, along with more than a dozen others and hundreds of protesters left to march to new york city's financial district all the way to city hall. >> heather: somewhat chaotic, to say the least. we're learning new details today about the suspect in that deadly california salon shooting. family members and friends

saying that they have watched scott struggle with rage and mental health issues for years. his attorney also telling a judge that he needs medication and he isn't getting it in jail. he showed in emotion in court yesterday, we're told. prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty for the eight murders. jail guards in los angeles could soon be wearing small cameras recording their interactions with inmates. the los angeles county supervisor addressing some concerns of how inmates are treated in the country's largest jail network. this after the american civil liberties union released a report last month detailing allegations of deputy misconduct and violence against some of the inmates. the supervisor proposing guards be barred from wearing steel toed shoes and using flashlights as batons. >> gregg: a new round of u.s. drone strikes in yemen killing several al-qaeda militants, including the son of u.s. born

radical cleric anwar al-awlaki who died in a similar strike last month. reena ninan has the latest from jerusalem. >> it appears more and more washington's weapon of choice in dealing with al-qaeda militants in yemen is drone strikes. seven al-qaeda militants were killed last night, including the son of u.s. born cleric anwar al-awlaki, who was killed in a similar attack last month. al-qaeda appears to be taking advantage of the political uncertainty in yemen. the president has been desperately trying to hold on to power in the midst of an uprising that lasted eight months. in the capital, forces loyal to the president opened fire on thousands of protesters, killing at least nine and wounding at least 180. many were taken to hospitals. medical officials said his forces fired on protesters using rifles and anti-aircraft guns.

gun fire could be heard in the city throughout the afternoon. al-qaeda linked militants have a strong presence in southern yemen. the fear is that they could gain a growing foothold throughout yemen because of the instability there. gregg? >> gregg: reena ninan reporting from jerusalem. thanks. >> heather: in a separate development, also in yemen, new reports of attacks against protesters. security forces apparently opening fire on thousands of people marching towards the central part of the capital. at least 12 people are dead, dozens more are wounded. saturday's demonstrations are part of an eight-month long protest against the long-time leader. >> gregg: a new protest is breaking out in jordan. activists and syrian ex patriots demonstrating outside the united nations offices demanding the

syrian president step down, expressing anger at the united nations for its lack of action during the recent uprising and accusing the syrian government's crackdown of killing 3,000 people. in the meantime, syria's official news agency reporting the president has formed a committee to draft a new constitution. but he has also deployed troops to crush those. >> heather: u.s. troops being deployed to another country, this time it's uganda. president obama ordering about 100 americans to assist in the fight against joseph coney. for two decades, his lords resistance army murdered, raped and kidnapped tens of thousands of people. molly henneberg is live in washington. molly, what is the exact mission? >> hi, heather. president obama says u.s. troops are being sent to help regional forces in central africa take

down that leader of the violent rebel group there, lra. the first of the troops deployed on wednesday and in a letter yesterday to congress, the president said, quote, during the next month, additional forces will deploy, including a second combat equipped team and associated headquarters, communications and logistics personnel. the total number of u.s. military personnel deploying for this mission is approximately 100. they'll go to uganda and south sudan. the central african republic and democratic republic of the congo as well. the white house says there will be -- they will be there in a training and advisory role and not fighting guerrillas directly, unless it's a matter of self-defense. heather? >> heather: what is the reaction on capitol hill, molly? >> congress was notified late yesterday afternoon that these troops were being sent to uganda that. did raise eyebrow. largely there was support for a mission to help the people of africa who suffered at the hands of the lra for decades, while some voicing concern this

operation may increase in size. >> i think it's probably the right thing to do, but i think we ought to make sure that this isn't an escalating situation. >> and the top democrat on the house armed services committee, congressman adam smith, seld in a statement yesterday, quote, i applaud the president for sending a small but capable number of u.s. troops as part of a comprehensive response to this affront to human life. congress passed a law and the president signed it last year, calling for more u.s. help in central africa in fighting the lra. the defense department says additionan troops were not available to send until now. heather? >> heather: thank you very much, molly henneberg live for us in washington. >> gregg: alabama students living illegally in the united states are no longer at risk of being deported. this after a federal court of appeals struck down a controversial part of the law requiring public schools to check the immigration status of students. other parts of the law will still stand, though, including a

provision allowing police to check people's residency status during routine traffic stops. the appellate court is expected to hear even more arguments challenging the law in late november. >> heather: the occupy wall street movement started in new york city, in our nation's capitol today. the washington rally focusing on president obama's jobs plan and the dedication of the martin luther king memorial. take a listen. >> i'm coming down to dc to celebrate martin luther king, the message of economic justice and job creation not just nationally, but also in new york city. >> the message downtown is a message that people are talking about throughout our country. there are the haves and the have notes. that's a growing disparity. we need to make sure that we address issues related to middle income working people who are the backbone of this country and of this city. >> heather: peter doocy reports from washington on what's being

called the jobs and justice march. >> no justice, no peace was the most common and most enthusiastic rallying cry here outside the washington monument. what does that mean? no justice no peace? >> what it means is that the corporate hedgeemony keeping our people in the way they are has not allowed for justice in this country. >> what kind of justice do you want, though? >> we want equality here for all people. i came here as a resident of the district of columbia, as a member of the washington teachers union. i came here because i want to stand up against the interests that are stopping us from achieving our goals. >> what's the difference between this rally and the occupy protests? >> i think the difference are the organizations. these are labor unions, but everybody is marching for the same thing. people want jobs. people want justice. you heard us chanting, how do you end the deficit? tax the wars -- did she sorry. end the wars, tax the rich. that's what we're all looking for. we're looking for justice here.

the top 400 families in this country contain more wealth than the bottom 50%. that's not american. >> all right. thank you. that gives awe good slice of life here as andre rides away. basically no justice, no peace. they kept chanting it. very organized rallies, though. and on the eve of the dedication of the martin luther king memorial, which will be dedicate add few hundred feet down the road where all the people are heading, they're saying not only are there nobody, but there is no equality. so they're complimenting dr. king and his message, but also complaining a lot about the things that are happening now in congress and they're saying congress, please pass the jobs bill. that's the only way we'll get the social justice we want. but they say president obama is definitely the guy that they want to eventually sign that bill. they think he'll get it done and they say then they will be happy. peter doocy, fox news. >> gregg: they want jobs. >> heather: yes. >> gregg: and it's frustrating not to have them. although i still remember the

sound bite of the young woman down there who asked if one of the corporate heads who came down here and offered you a job, would you take it? she said no way. >> heather: 'cause it's part of corporate america. >> gregg: right. doesn't want to be participate of it. >> heather: i don't know. i was thinking they should have a job fair at one of these sites and see how many people a, were eligible for the jobs, and b, would take the job. >> gregg: they also want to forgive all debts. what would the banks do? well, they would go from profits to losses losses and then they'e to fire tens of thousands of people. that probably wouldn't help the job situation. we know president obama is running for reelection in 2012. but you haven't heard much about his running mate. will vice president joe biden stay on the ticket or could hillary clinton be interested in that job? what the secretary of state is now saying about a possible title swap. an irwin, the kansas city baby missing for

>> gregg: hillary clinton saying it's time and time again she does not plan to remain secretary of state if president obama wins a second term. now a lot of people wondering if she might take vice president joe biden's spot on the to 12 democratic ticket. here is secretary clinton's response when she was asked about it earlier this week. >> is there any chance you would be vice president in a second term? >> no. there is not. >> is it in the realm of possibility? >> i do not think it's even in the realm of possibility, and in large measure because i think vice president biden has done an amazingly good job. >> heather: but if the polls start to show the president has a better chance of winning with clinton on the ticket, could we see clinton and biden switch jobs? let's bring in executive director at the american values institute, and democratic strategist and chairman of the civic forum pack and former

director for rural outreach for john mccain's presidential campaign. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> heather: not even in the realm of possibility. that's what she said, but you know n politic, no doesn't always necessarily mean no. alexis, would you like to actually see this happen? n no i don't think it's even remotely a possibility, as she just said. this is going to shape up to be a very close and exciting race and i think not unlike what the gop was going through with the last few weeks of speculation around chris christie, there is some energy around making sure you have the best possible ticket. but i'm pretty confident that we have the ticket that's going o win and i'm pretty sure that as wonderful as secretary clinton has been in serving her country and her president and serving the rest of us, i believe that she's going to stay in public service, but not in this capacity. >> heather: ford what, do you think? do you think this will be a better ticket and how will it benefit president obama or would

it harm him? >> i think the mere mention of clinton for biden indicates the obama administration is more concerned about saving its own presidency than the economy. and david axelrod can't find 270 electoral votes on the map. up think this would help because there are some people in ohio, michigan and other states that are having buyers remorse and hillary clinton would help with independents and women. >> heather: this is a fox news poll, from a couple of weeks ago. it's very interesting. related to the discussion we're having. the question that we asked, would you like to see barak obama or hillary clinton as the democratic presidential nominee in 2012? president obama garnering # 6%, followed by hillary clinton with 27. other, 3%. alexis, what's your response there? obviously overwhelmingly people do prefer, at least according to this poll, president obama over clinton when it comes to the presidency itself. >> look, i think there is still a lot of support for the clintons in the democratic

party. we had a very, very close primary and i think there were a lot of people who still support having hillary clinton in the white house in some capacity. again, i think ford made a really good point. i think that hillary is really great in terms of connecting to working class voters, independent voters and women. but i also think biden can pick those votes up as well. beyond that, i think the vp is going to matter a lot less than the top of the ticket. i think this is really about the intensity that obama brings to the election and who turns out the most voters. >> could not disagree with you more, aless six. hillary clinton is the most popular democrat in america and one of the most popular politicians. if the switch did go through, i'm foaming at the mouth because the new obama slogan is obama 2012. love him and leave him. you had no loyalty for joe, how will you have loyalty for the american people? >> heather: how do you overcome that argument, alexis? is this an indication or question of his loyalty?

>> i think the obama administration has been very forceful in saying that biden is going to be on the ticket. i don't see how you can be any more plain spoken about it than that. i i -- >> is that as forceful as closing down gitmo and not doing it or not being for drones and using them? come on. >> obama is -- he is a very loyal person and you can see just in the folks who are around him, who have served him that there is a lot of loyalty. you have not seen incredible amount of turnover in this administration. you've seen people who have been working hard in serving their country at the pleasure of the president. >> heather: here is the -- >> where is the chief of staff? got a new chief of staff. >> heather: beyond the administration itself, it's the loyalty of the voters, the loyalty of the folks in the democratic party themselves. you brought up a great point, alexis. the independent voters and the women voters, that was key last time and it will be key again this time. right, ford? >> it absolutely will. i think it's very key because team obama knows that they have

to win ohio and pennsylvania, if they want to retain the white house. and independents and women in ohio and other states support hillary clinton. she still has a chance to be president. if she comes on as vp and they win and obama doesn't turn the economy around, then that sort of titanic let down will be affixed to her and she'll have a hard time being president. >> heather: it will be about jobs, right? >> absolutely. hillary can still support the president by stumping for him in those critical districts and states. so i have no question that she's going to be out there. she's going to be a supporter, stumping for the president and that's what's going to make the difference. >> heather: i have to wrap it up with you. but finally as we wrap up, yes or no, give me a number, the possibility of you think whether or not this would be the ticket, ford, you first. >> 50/50, because hillary clinton is loyal. does obama have onuptick in the polls? if not, he will do anything to state of his presidency.

including this. >> heather: alexis? >> i'll go with at least 10%. you think never say never in politics. >> heather: thank you so much. we appreciate you joining us. >> thanks for having us. >> gregg: minus 20? >> heather: i don't think that will happen. >> gregg: i don't think so. they sacrificed their lives for their country and now there is a massive effort to put a face to the thousands of names etched into the vietnam memorial wall in washington, d.c how you can help memorialize america's fallen heros next. my ed judge

>> gregg: new efforts and $100,000 reward to help find baby lisa. the 11-month-old was snatched from her missouri home in the middle of the night, her mother says. almost two weeks ago. judge jeanine pirro sat down with her parents short low after she was taken. take a listen. >> what's the first thing you thought, debbie, when jeremy comes in and says, where is lisa? >> maybe one of the boys picked her up and was playing with her and put her in bed with them. i knew that wasn't possible. i don't know. there was no one thought. it was just where is she at? we got to find her? >> then when she wasn't in the home, what's your first thought? did anyone come to mind?

>> no. i mean, not really. panic. >> gregg: joining me, gentleman gentleman mean, host of "justice," you made a couple of trips out to kansas city. just got back about 1:00 a.m. this morning. so thank you very much for being with us. talk to us about your conversations with her. your impressions. >> what's interesting, gregg, is that she is a woman whose story is consistent. now, she is, if you'll remember, she said the police told me i failed the lie detector said. we don't know if it's an investigative technique. >> gregg: police are allowed to lie, the supreme court said so. >> yeah. by the way, i want to say, kansas city pd is on top of their game. but her story has been consistent. but we haven't heard a lot from her. i have the last complete interview that was done by them and she says, look, i don't know what happened. i went to bed. all was well. but there are questions, gregg. your baby is sick, you got a

baby monitor. you don't hear anything. all the lights are on in the house. the screen is busted through. you've got a dog in the backyard. why didn't you hear anything? she basically says the baby disappeared. >> gregg: you and i are both parents. i never slept when my daughters were babies. >> especially if they're sick. >> gregg: if i heard any sound in the house, man, i was jumping up out of bed and checking in the middle of the night. >> right, you do. and i interviewed the store, the grocery store clerk. she's the last person to see debbie. remember we heard the mother was buying wine with some man? >> gregg: it was her brother. >> it's her brother. i spoke to the clerk yesterday in kansas city. she said to me, deborah did not seem depressed. she didn't seem unhappy. she was smiling. she bought baby wipes and baby food. now, if anything, that's exonerating because if you're going to get rid of your kid, you're not buying baby wipes. your saving the money. so this is baffling everybody. >> gregg: what's interesting, you know this because you cover so many cases.

statistics on infant abduction show it is highly unlike low that a strengtheninger breaks into a house and takes a child, although it happened in the polly klass case and elizabeth smart case. and generally speaking, the victims end up being alive. >> if this baby was kidnapped, you're absolutely right. chances are 95% that that baby is alive. if it was an inside job, then things are not looking as positive, gregg. we all know that strangers break in and i talked to the neighbors. i went up and down the street this week about the family. they say they're a good family. she's a good mother. but there are questions. this is a mystery. tonight we're going ordeal with some theories. >> gregg: at one point early on they were looking at a neighbor that had access code to the garage, which could have gained access to the house. what's become of that and what's become of this so-called handyman that's known around the neighborhood. >> the handyman is known as jersey. jersey has not been seen since

the baby went missing. i spoke to the neighbor who actually saw jersey and on my show tonight, he describes how jersey was pretty handy with a knife. now, the person, the young person who had the access code to the garage was someone from whom they took dna, but we don't know from the police whether that's coming to. now we've got a $100,000 reward from this anonymous benefactor. whether or not it will make a difference, we hope so. >> gregg: bill stanton, formerly in nypd. he goes out there, does a lot of grand standing and i'm going to find the child and so on and do a brand-new investigation. my guess is, kansas city police got to him and said, hey, you're not licensed here, pal, and you could lose your license and be charged if you act as an investigator. now he appears to be backing off. >> look, i have an interview with stanton on my show tonight as well. but clearly even he admits that he was told what the boundaries were by the kansas city police

department. he is one who says i'm not here to do anything but find the truth. but the police is equipped to do the same thing. they're scouring the woods and rappeled down cliffs, in the roofs, in the woods, in the ditches. >> gregg: you've got it tonight on your program. catch more with judge jeanine every saturday beginning at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. >> heather: what a difference a week makes. gop field locks in a horse race when is up, who is down? what voters are saying about just who, if anyone, ought to have their taxes raised. we'll talk about that coming up next. fore!

>> gregg: the race to the white house, the drama never seems to stop in campaign 2012. >> heather: according to the latest poll from rasmussen reports, following tuesday night's debate, neck in neck, dead heat, mitt romney, herman cain. gingrich a distant third. while the rest of the pack not even seeing double digits this week. scott rasmussen is here.

what do you attribute that virtual tie to? >> it's a desire for some of the republican party to find a challenger to mitt romney. he's clearly going to be a finalist in this race and every month it seems there is a new challenger. right now herman cain has the chance to make his case. why should he be president of the united states and see if he can convince enough republican primary votator stay alive. the other big story here, a name you didn't mention, rick perry, a month or so ago he was on top of the polls. had some tough debates, tough discussions about illegal immigration. now before a single vote has been cast, we're seeing him sink into single digits. >> i think he's this year's version of the why rudy guiliani crash and burn. if you get rid of all of the other candidates, bachman and perry and huntsman and even newt gingrich and you just have cain and romney what, do you have there? >> a dead heat. 4 #% for cain.

42% for romney. some people are surprised at this. they were saying, obvious low all the perry people or bachman people would go to cain. that's not the case. what we're seeing is there is a lot of factors that go into making a decision and only one in four republican voters have finally made up their mind. it's going to be interesting to see what happens again, when the caucuses and primaries really begin. but there is a closure case to be made that mitt romney has the best chance of winning the nomination, 51% expect he will to so. but it's far from locked up. >> heather: how about this, if mitt romney or really anyone, whoever the winner is, do people believe that washington, d.c. is going to become one big happy family as a result? >> no. the american people are a whole lot smarter than that. they expect things will get more partisan over the coming year. these numbers haven't changed too much since the early honeymoon phase of the obama

administration. i expect we would see a honeymoon for a new president, it will last about 60 days. >> gregg: unless one party run the table. wins the house, senate, then there is nobody to bicker with. >> gregg, the senate, you can bicker as a minority all that you want. you can certainly have a bipartisan fight and i'm sure we would see it continue. but what we are seeing is that people think both parties in congress are behave not guilty guilty -- behaving in a partisan process. >> gregg: really have to really run the table in the senate and that's pretty unlikely. >> heather: asked as for one of the most pressing issue, talking about taxes. nearly half of those polled say they favor a candidate who raises taxes on the wealthy? >> yeah. we asked a choice between would you rather have a candidate who opposed all tax hikes or only raise taxes on the wealthy.

they say yeah, we'd like that person to raise taxes on the rich. the challenge for a candidate to convert this issue into an advantage is voters are suspicious that when someone says i'm going o raise taxes on the rich, the definition of the rich will include an awful lot of other people. >> gregg: coming out of the white house, they have a kind of funny interpretation of millionaires. that would be anybody above $200,000. i don't think they're millionaires. >> heather: especially not in new york city. >> gregg: scott rasmussen. thanks for being with us. >> heather: that does it for us. rick folbaum and arrest they will neville standing by. >> gregg: the latest on the demonstrations in times square. bye-bye.
